President Obama plans to keep all possible illegal aliens and to attract as many more as possible. Obama looks upon each illegal alien as a future Democrat.
Obama is asking Congress for $3.7 billion to assimilate the illegal alien children now entering the United States. Obama appears to have no plans to return any of them.
Speaker of the House John Boehner is demanding that Obama secure our southern border with Mexico by placing sufficient numbers of National Guard troops on the border. There is no provision for securing our southern border in the $3.7 billion Obama is requesting.
Obama has slowed and virtually stopped the deportation of children from the United States. Obama unilaterally and illegally instituted the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012, with the intent of stopping the deportation of children and young adult illegal aliens. Obama's action encouraged the massive increase in minors illegally entering the United States.
House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa sent a letter to President Obama last week on 02 July demanding that Obama deport the illegal alien minors,
Issa and 32 House Republican colleagues sent a letter to the president, dated July 2, urging him to reverse his 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to halt deportation of people who would be eligible for the stalled DREAM Act. They blamed Obama's "failed policies" for the recent influx of unaccompanied minors into the U.S., mostly from Central America.
"First, we call on you to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created, without congressional support, by your Administration in June, 2012," the Republicans wrote. "While the current program only applies to arrivals prior to 2007, the very existence of the program contradicts present law and violates the Constitutional principle of a separation of powers which grants primary law making authority to Congress."
Issa and his colleagues said Obama "must make an explicit public commitment that you will not support legislation that extends legal status to newly arriving illegal aliens no matter the age."
Texas Governor Rick Perry has invited President Obama to meet with him this week on our southern border to see Obama's humanitarian crisis in person. Democrats are pushing Obama to do this with the hope that it would at least portray Obama as a caring person.
Thus far Obama is opting to attend two large Democratic fundraisers and to ignore the humanitarian crisis he has created. Obama has countered Governor Perry's offer by inviting Governor Perry to meet with him and a group of Liberals in Dallas. Dallas is about as far away from the border as Obama can manage with Air Force One.

It's crazy to think that the iPad and similar tablets have been in mainstream retail only since 2010, isn't it? We've become so accustomed to the device many people labeled unnecessary and too peripheral for the average tech consumer. Well, Apple unveiled the fifth-generation iPad recently, and it's really something. The most obvious difference is size: the iPad Air is almost 3/4-inch narrower than the other standard iPads, and weighs only one pound. It has the exact same screen size, and is only.29 inches thick. Battery life is upwards of 10 hours, and WiFi and processing speeds are improved. One interesting feature left off was the touch ID fingerprint sensor released in the iPhone 5s. I'm not sure why Apple engineers left that off of the iPad, but I imagine we'll see that in the next rollout.

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere. I was not able to find a similar post.
I need some expert advice on security issues with uploaded images in a PHP application.
Briefly, I have a web app that displays uploaded images as a slideshow. The images are uploaded by the user through a custom-built CMS (which is on the same domain as the public pages) and records are sent to a database that include the filename as it was on the user's computer. Everything is working okay, however I decided to put the upload directory for the images outside or above the webroot, so e.g.
domain name points to public_html,host/public_html/index.html is home page,host/uploads/ is where the upload folder is
The images are now accessed in something like the following manner from the slidehsow page:<?php$query = "SELECT filename,imgID FROM pics";$result = mysqli_query($dbconnect,$query);while($record = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo '

';}?>
fetch_image.php looks something like:<?php # fetch_image.php
if(isset($_GET['file'])) {
// Access the root directory$root_dir = dirname(dirname(dirname(FILE)));
$file = $root_dir. '/uploads/' . $_GET['file'];$size = getimagesize($file);
if (file_exists($file) && $size) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
The divs with class 'slide' in the generated HTML have absolute positioning and display:none so all will stack up on top of each other and are hidden when the page loads. A javascript file controls the slideshow by showing and hiding instances of 'slide' according to thumbnail links clicked by the user.
This works a treat, however, and I'm coming to the point, considering that in the Content Management System the file upload script creates a copy of the uploaded file using imagecreatefromjpeg() and imagecopyresampled(), is this layer of security unecessary? In other words would it be safe to use relative links (e.g. /images/thefile.jpg) here and move the upload directory inside the webroot? There doesn't seem to be a lag in performance as it is, but if there were 20 images that would be 40 page requests (there is a row of thumbnail images), does that make a significant difference to demands on resources and speed? I don't know if having upload dir above webroot makes any difference at all in this situation.
BTW the upload script is part of a freely available file upload kit and I'm not sure if it's permitted to place any lifted code from it here. It's the jquery fileuploader.
I have been googling this subject for the past two days and am really surprised that such a common application of PHP is not better documented.
Any ideas on the subject would be most welcome.
Could you elabourate a bit. Do you mean absolute paths?
This part is the weakness,
$file = $root_dir. '/uploads/' . $_GET['file'];
Make sure you have an array of the files you have in uploads and check to see if it is in the array, $_GET['file'] could have the path ../evilfile.php or even a path to a domain.If you allow the public to upload files, make sure they can't upload files with .php .js and .htaccess codes. htmlPurifier can be your friend.
Thanks for pointing that out lorenw.
I would also use mysql_real_escape_string() before making a query too.
I think what I need is a pointer to a good book or online resource which will explain a bit more in depth about securing web apps such as this. I'm aware of the basic principles but feel like I'm getting lost in a mesh of security measures and circumventing code, and could probably do things in a much simpler way.
I'll try to make it clearer what I'm asking.
If you look at the while loop in the code above you see that fetch_image.php is called as many times as there are images (twice in fact if you count the thumbnails). Does this amount to significant increase in overhead (over ). This is the kind of info I'm after. What's the best way to do this and maintain security? If anyone can point me in the right direction.

Chevy Chase was a battle that took place on the english-Scottish border in 1388.
Chemical and biological warfare have been used long before World War 1. During the Peloponnesian War in the 5th century BC, Spartans used sulphur and pitch to overcome the enemy. During ancient and medieval times, soldiers sometimes threw bodies of plague victims over the walls of besieged cities, or into water wells. During the French and Indian wars in North America (1689-1763), blankets used by smallpox victims were given to American Indians in the hope they would carry the disease.
The first reference to a handgun was made in an order for iron bullets in 1326.
In 1998, the US spent more than $35 billion on its nuclear weapons programme.
The first recorded revolution took place at around 2800 BC when people from the Sumerian city of Lagash overthrew bureaucrats who were lining their own pockets but kept raising taxes.

To the surprise of nobody (certainly not me), the production of The Hateful Eight is back on and will start this November.
If Tarantino Made Star Wars
If Star Wars was a Tarantino film. Apparently, it would be just like Star Wars, but with different music. Yeah, sure.
Django Unchained TV Miniseries?
Are we going to really get a Django Unchained TV miniseries? Tarantino says he's got 90 more minutes of film that wasn't part of the theatrical release.
Kill Bill On Netflix Streaming
The Kill Bill movies are now on Netflix streaming:
Kill Bill Vol 1
Kill Bill Vol 2
The Hateful Eight Posters
The posters used at the live script reading for The Hateful Eight are for sale.
Hope this film gets made.
Hateful Eight Lawsuit Dismissed
Judge says he failed to establish actual infringement, which was obvious from the start. Hopefully QT just drops it and moves on. If not, lets hope that next time he sues the people actually responsible for leaking the script, not just a website that did the equivalent of "hey look, somebody leaked the script".
More Hateful Eight Script Reading Details
Hateful Eight Live Script Readings
Don't close the book on the Hateful Eight being made into a film just yet. Tarantino staged some live script readings with Samuel L. Jackson, Walt Goggins and Bruce Dern.
Film Independent Presents the World Premiere of a Staged Reading by Quentin Tarantino: The Hateful Eight, as it was formally titled, also revealed that the big-screen version might not be as shelved as the director first told my colleague Mike Fleming Jr. on January 21. "I'm working on a second draft and I will do a third draft, but we're reading from the first draft," Tarantino, wearing a black Stetson and red ribbed cowboy shirt, said to the 1,200 patrons in the almost SRO theater before the performance started. (The well-heeled crowd included longtime Tarantino producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein.) "The Chapter 5 here will not be the Chapter 5 later, so this will be the only time it is seen ever."
Harvey Weinstein On Hateful Eight
Oh, boy – here goes Harvey Weinstein talking about… The Hateful Eight:
It just so unnerves me that people think they can take a script…and put it on the Internet," he said. "It is just crazy that we are not protecting ourselves as writers, producers and artists. It is just crazy that the public has some weird concept that they can just take this stuff."
He said that the industry marketing machine should be able to come up with message of "what a lousy thing it is to do, how uncool it is" and "explain this to these kids who are doing this and proud of it."
Go check the article to see his solution. Hint – he won't have to do anything, he's gonna have Google take care of it all.
And then there's this mess about Hillary Clinton & Benghazi:
"There's nothing to it," he said of Benghazi. "I mean, there's a lot to it, but there's nothing to what these guys are saying. 'Hilary Clinton didn't answer her phone and that is how Americans died,' that's complete bullshit. It sounds good, but I don't believe the guys who are saying it believe it."
Hey Harvey. Here's why its important – and especially to a filmmaker. Hillary Clinton got on TV – actually made commercials to air in other countries and blamed the instigation of the attack on an American citizen – a filmmaker. She/they did this for over a week despite knowing within 24 hours that it was a planned attack and not just some rowdy protesters that got out of hand. They blamed a filmmaker. I suppose the next time we have a Republican President it'll be perfectly OK with Harvey if they stand up and blame a terror attack on one of his films – then throw him in jail.

Sam Jackson is always an interesting interview.

Daratumumab Receives Breakthrough Therapy Designation in Double Refractory Multiple Myeloma from U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Janssen Research & Development, LLC (Janssen) announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for daratumumab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), or who are double refractory to a PI and IMiD. Daratumumab is an investigational human CD38 monoclonal antibody and was discovered by the Danish company Genmab A/S. In August 2012, Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Genmab entered an agreement which granted Janssen an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize daratumumab.
"We are honored that the FDA has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to another compound in our pipeline," said Peter F. Lebowitz, M.D., Ph.D., Global Oncology Therapeutic Area Head, Janssen. "Our team is looking forward to the opportunity to work closely with the FDA on the development program of this compound, which has the potential to make a difference in the lives of patients."
This FDA designation marks the second oncology compound within the Janssen pipeline to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation in the last three months. In April 2013 and February 2013, the company announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designations for the investigational oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib as a monotherapy for three B-cell malignancies: in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma with deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 (del17p), in patients with relapsed or refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) who have received prior therapy, and in patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). Janssen and Pharmacyclics, Inc. are co-developing and will co-commercialize ibrutinib.
Enacted as part of the 2012 FDA Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), Breakthrough Therapy Designation is intended to expedite the development and review time for a potential new medicine "to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development."[1]
The implications of Breakthrough Therapy Designation cannot be determined at this time. Janssen is working with the FDA to determine any potential implications of the Breakthrough Therapy Designation to the ongoing and planned development activities.
About Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells and according to the American Cancer Society 2013 estimates, approximately 22,350 new cases of multiple myeloma will be diagnosed and approximately 10,710 deaths will occur in the U.S. in 2013.[2] At present, no cure is available. The 5-year relative survival rate for multiple myeloma is around 40%.[3] New treatment modalities might improve the survival.
About Daratumumab Daratumumab is an investigational human monoclonal antibody (mAb) with broad spectrum cytotoxic activity. It targets the CD38 molecule, which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and may also have potential in other cancers on which CD38 is expressed.
It is currently in Phase I/II trials for multiple myeloma and has potential applicability against other malignancies on which CD38 is expressed.
About Janssen Research & Development At Janssen, we are dedicated to addressing and solving some of the most important unmet medical needs of our time in oncology, immunology, neuroscience, infectious diseases and vaccines, and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Driven by our commitment to patients, we develop innovative products, services and healthcare solutions to help people throughout the world. Janssen Research & Development and Janssen Biotech are part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies. Please visit http://www.janssenrnd.com for more information.

Moja Fair Trade Fashion Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters
Moja Designs is offering an exclusive fair trade jewelry item that not only empowers artisans in developing countries but also gives back to local kids in need in the US. 50% of profits from each of these fair-trade necklaces sold will benefit BBBS.
Moja Design announces partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee! After seeking a way to connect Moja artisans and projects in Africa with their local community in the US they set out to partner with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of East Tn. Moja Fair Trade desired to design a line of jewelry products that would represent BBBS with 50% of the sale price going to their organization and 50% going to Moja's partner schools and communities..
In late Spring, Moja began meeting with Lis Couser, BBBS's Chief Development Officer, to work on product designs. Couser had a great idea of doing something that was a take on the heart in their logo. So, when Moja headed to Kenya in June, they took the idea to the Njoroge family, their expert metal jewelry makers. Benson and his family are expert metal artisans and are able to create all kinds of designs from recycled scrap metal.
After tweaking the initial designs a bit, Moja and Benson came up with a beautiful heart etched by nail into a brass pendant with an aluminum heart cutout on top. The name for the piece is Two Hearts, One Hope. The two pieces of this fair-trade pendant represent the children of BBBS and the children served by Moja partners in Africa that are united by their hope for a bright future.
Moja is offering 3 different fair-trade necklace pieces: a large pendant with a long, silver chain, a medium size pendant with a thinner silver chain and a charm size pendant with a silver chain bracelet.
Each piece also comes with a handmade card telling the story of the jewelry making it a perfect gift that gives 3 times!

Palin Misplace Syndrome
Yo peeps ... you're creeping me out (yes you are). This disgusting, filthy meme ... "electability." Lemme spell it out for ya (sit down, and shut the f*ck up):
Obama was electable! (yeah he was). Get yourselves a freakin clue. They're free (I'm buying). Please [we'll call that entreaty my tiny, token, dollop of honey (so generous elmo)]. The lid's about to come off a ginormous suffocating can of sulphur. And in the graveolent mist .... the world IS going to explode. Your world. My world. Our world.
Obama IS toast. Done deal (if you haven't figured that out yet? Then get the f*ck off my blog). We have a chance. One. Just and only. To save this country. To elect a leader we can trust. Not someone "electable" [maybe we should be looking at Kim Kardashian? Or uh ... Bart Simpson? How bout Snoop Dogg? [Teeties, Toons, Or Tokers (go Teeties!)].
But y'all go have a beer ... go on. Everything's fine. Just fine. Nothing to worry about [cuz Sarah's on her way (yay!). Yes she is (girl). On her magic sparkle pony (We're saved! All hail Sarah!).
And, she's gunna save us from Frick and Frack's dueling wangfight (that girl is everywhere!). Get it straight people. The White House belongs to America. Not the IslamoCommieTraitor, who supra-constitutionally occupies it [yo Rushbo, brush up on the Natural Born Clause, please do (I'm sure Rubio IS a nice guy [Derek Fenton aside (snarf)]. It doesn't belong to only and just, one Sarah Palin. In some irreversible predetermination [you people are acting like the Oborg (and that is skeery)]. Obliviousness leads to ... oblivion. Helloooo.
We've got enough of that already, yeah we do (that little maggot) Carney: "Obama wasn't there. He didn't hear it" (Hoffa). Though seeing Eric Erickson (on Android Coopah), easily he is the creepiest creep of them all (no contest).

The ongoing prosperity of Hong Kong can be attributed in great part to its long history in the use of the English language in business and other professions, together with the widespread bilingual capabilities of professionals generally.
This is the firm belief of Chris Green, assistant professor of the department of English and coordinator of the MA scheme in Language Studies for the Professions at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). The frequent use of English in all professions is what distinguishes Hong Kong from any regions in China, he stresses.
Dr Green believes the value of English learning in Hong Kong can be divided into three parts. "Firstly and practically, most professional exams are in English," he says. "Secondly, there is a cultural aspect to English in that knowing the language increases a person's global outlook. Finally, English is the currency of acquiring knowledge, specially in today's IT-driven world. Check the Internet and you'll find that a lot of the e-learning resources are in English."
The university conveniently provides four programmes all under one MA scheme, thus attracting not only teaching professionals but also professionals in commerce holding jobs at middle to high level management.
"Between 60 and 65 per cent of our students are teaching professionals, meaning that almost 40 per cent are from other professions," says Dr Green. The PolyU MA scheme has two programmes mainly for teachers (the MA in English Language Teaching and the MA in English Language Studies) and two others (the MA in English for the Professions and the MA in Japanese Studies for the Professions) designed to meet the needs of a range of other professionals. "The aim is to cover all professionals regardless of their backgrounds," he adds.
Research by Dr Green and associates has confirmed that the higher the position a professional holds in a company, the greater the need for a higher capability in English.
"Business people with this attribute tend to be groomed as one of the front people in the corporation," he points out. "Hence a higher level of English is a pathway to better promotion prospects."
Dr Green cites the case of a locally-born engineer whose qualities in English were so good that he became a sales engineer travelling around the world selling diagnostic systems.
He adds that the larger corporations, particularly multinationals, require senior and even middle-level staff to possess higher levels of English.
To harmonise with the government's drive for a trilingual society, the department of English has tailored its programmes to smoothly mesh with this practical and far-sighted policy.
The department's teaching benefits from research done by the Research Centre for Professional Communication in English under the direction of Professor Winnie Cheng. The Centre carries out extensive research on communication in the professional workplace.
Some MA programmes are experimenting with e-learning and e-assessment, which appeal to students with busy professional schedules. For example, online discussions may be held to check that students understand key concepts introduced in lectures.
"E-learning has the advantage of providing flexible times for students, though we never downplay face-to-face learning, which is often preferred by students," stresses Dr Green. Feedback with guidance and comments is given to students. Course essays, student-led seminars and oral presentations make up the rest of the course marks, keeping students up to the mark in their studies.

I'm gonna have the lfs order a couple things for cleanup crew and maybe add a little more cured live rock. I know about the three month rule, so I'm not rushing for the bimac. I'll keep a close eye on the water parameters and make sure they don't fluctuate. ps. I had an octopus dream last night. I was at some pet store and they had like 10 baby octos in a tank but they weren't bimacs, i held one and it bit me 3 times as it climbed up my arm. But I was so excited that I didn't care. Hmmm...wonder what Freud would say?

Shia LaBeouf was seen out and about with Mia Goth following his latest arrest for suspicion of public intoxication in Austin, Texas.
The two have had an on and off again relationship following their work on the set of Nymphomaniac.
Yesterday, LaBeouf and Goth were seen holding hands in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles. The two had a public argument in Germany back in July, in which LaBeouf threatened to get violent with her and the two appeared to be separated since.
Despite this most recent sighting, they have not commented on the status of their relationship publicly, E! News added.
As previously reported, LaBeouf was in Texas attending the Austin City Limits music festival when he was arrested. It has been alleged that he wasn't obeying police orders and was arrested for being drunk in public. After his arrest, LaBeouf took to Twitter and continued his odd behavior. The Holes star wrote, "talk, just not to you," and last Monday, he followed up that bizarre tweet with "bombs away."

This is the route we took to traverse from Shoshoni to Apache. We decided to bypass The King's Pawn and the King because of approaching t-storms(we also bypassed the Rook due to its 5.10+ rating). We did climb the Bishops Scepter which was an awesome 5.6. I had to leave some webbing and a locking biner on the top. 8/18/07 IPW, Colorado. Here is a slideshow of our climb

I'm caught in a mortgage hole after property prices collapsed
A civil servant has told of the nightmare of being caught in a property trap after he was one of 100 purchasers in the Titanic Action Group who signed up to buy luxury apartments in Belfast two years ago, that have slumped in value by as much as 30% as they near completion.
The man, who wants to be known only as Ben, told the Belfast Telegraph yesterday that he was caught in a mortgage hole created by the slump in property prices. He also said he is unable to sell his current flat which has dropped £80,000 in value.
Ben's apartment at the Titanic Quarter was worth £200,000 when he put pen to paper with Harcourt Developments when property prices were at their peak.
"I paid a deposit of £20,000 to secure the apartment which is due for completion in November/December," he said yesterday.
"But now the apartment has been valued at around £135,000 and that's the limit which the Nationwide are prepared to grant me for a mortgage. It leaves a black hole of more than £60,000. Other purchasers are worse affected than I am, with prices as high as £600,000 for penthouses.
"The 100 purchasers in the group are being represented by Brian Speers of GMC Solicitors and we want a meeting with Harcourt Developments, without preconditions, to try and reach a compromise. We fear that they may hold us to the original prices and lead to some of us being declared bankrupt. Frankly, it's impossible for me to garner the extra money and I don't know what I'm going to do."
Ben's situation is complicated further by the fact that he is paying off a mortgage on his two-bedroom flat in Coleraine, which he has so far been unable to sell.
He explained: "Two years ago, my job was transferred from Coleraine to Belfast and my flat in Coleraine was worth £200,000, so it seemed the simple solution to buy one of equal value in Belfast and do a simple switch."
But the Coleraine flat has slumped in value to £120,000, he has signed up at £200,000 for the Titanic apartment, and now he is trapped in the property snare.
"It's a nightmare. The mortgage gap is horrendous, and we fear that if they hold us to the original agreement, many of us will go under. We are not putting any preconditions on a meeting. We simply want a compromise that will suit both sides. But so far Harcourt have not indicated they are willing to meet us and even discuss the situation."
The Belfast Telegraph contacted Harcourt Developments but did not receive any response.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she is quitting Sunday to save the state the cost of investigating what she says are frivolous ethics complaints against her, but even her mid-term resignation comes with a price tag for taxpayers.
While the final transition bill will be a fraction of the roughly $2 million Palin says the state has shelled out in ethics probes, that hasn't stopped residents, letter writers, bloggers and legislators alike from questioning what they see as the unnecessary costs of the governor leaving office 17 months before the end of her term.
The major price tag will be a one-day special session of the legislature to confirm the new lieutenant governor and to consider overriding Palin's veto of stimulus funds for energy projects.
"She has single-handedly and unnecessarily created both expensive issues," Anchorage resident Jeanne Ashcraft complained in a letter published in the Anchorage Daily News.
It's too early to calculate transition costs, said Linda Perez, the administrative director for the Alaska governor's office.
Palin hasn't responded directly to the criticism, but her spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said it was the Legislature that called themselves into special session, not Palin.
"Lt. Gen. Craig Campbell could remain an acting lieutenant governor until the next regular session in January. There is also a September deadline for the energy funds," she said in an e-mail to The Associated press. "I hope the argument isn't being made that the governor is costing the state this is a legislative call."
Her supporters say the criticism is unwarranted.
"The Legislature had already discussed meeting in special session to consider overriding the stimulus package veto," said Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein. And if Palin were to remain in office, there likely would be more ethics complaints for the state to investigate.
"The public has to factor in the amount of money saved by avoiding dozens and dozens of public records act requests or ethics complaints that would not be filed after the governor steps down," he said.
Much of the debate over the cost of the transition centers around the man who will replace Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will take over as Alaska's governor on Sunday.
Each legislative session in Alaska, the governor picks someone as a backup to the lieutenant governor, and Palin nominated Corrections Commissioner Joe Schmidt this year.
But on July 3, she announced that Military and Veterans Affairs Commissioner Craig Campbell would replace Parnell and didn't to explain why she wasn't turning to Schmidt. The new candidate means the legislature has to meet for a one-day, special session that will cost more than $100,000.
"You don't nominate someone, put them through hearings, have the legislature confirm them and then just change your mind without offering any explanation," said state Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage. "By doing that, the governor has created the need for a special session. This is probably the most avoidable special session in state history."
Lawmakers already are bound to hold a special session because of the override attempt on Palin's veto, said state Rep. Mike Hawker, R-Anchorage. The U.S. Department of Energy has said lawmakers must act on the override before the end of September to apply for $28.5 million in State Energy Program money Palin vetoed because she said it came with too many government mandates. Lawmakers said they've found no such strings.
Hawker, co-chairman of Alaska's House Finance Committee, believes the financial impact from Palin's resignation will be minimal.
"It's just like making an office move," he said. "You've got the routine administrative changes. It's not significant."
It's the "intangible consequences" of Palin's resignation that state Rep. Beth Kerttula wonders about in Philadelphia, where she is attending the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"I cannot tell you how many people have asked me about the whole situation here in Philadelphia," the Juneau Democrat said by phone Friday. "I mean, it is a bad joke to people. There's that cost to the state. That's obviously one you can't measure economically, but it's certainly a cost that will bear out in future years, and we'll see what it really results in."
Bloggers also complained.
"What else comes with a special session, besides cranky legislators, and extra business? A big fat price tag is what," wrote The Mudflats, an Alaska political blog.
Multiple housekeeping chores are required for the transition. There are official portraits to replace, not to mention new letterhead and business cards and office remodels. The state would foot the bill if Parnell relocates his family from Anchorage to the capital city of Juneau, not to mention moving Palin's possessions back.
"Individually, they might not be much, but they definitely add up. No question there's a cost in transition," said Marc Ryan, budget director for former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, who resigned midterm in 2004 amid graft allegations and a federal investigation. The costs there were never tallied.
Associated Press reporter Mark Thiessen contributed to this report.

The Newsroom kicked off with a bang this week as the 'Red Team' was brought in and delivered all the fireworks I was expecting it to do. The stupendous looks on the faces of Sloan (played by Olivia Munn), Jim (played by John Gallagher Jr.) and Don (played by Thomas Sadoski) said it all. The conversation that followed, about Santa's reindeers, was simply hilarious. That made as much sense to the trio as the US using Sarin gas on civilians.
I was glad to see the skepticism about Genoa, most of their evidence is indirect. With the exception being Hamni8, the witness or at least suspected witness based on his tweets. But since they can't find him, at that leaves is their indirect evidence. Then along came general Stanislaus Stomtonovich (played wonderfully by Stephen Root) who confirmed the Genoa story to Charlie (played by Sam Waterston) and MacKenzie (played by Emily Mortimer) and agreed to anonymously testify on camera.
When reviewing the testimony later in the Newsroom, I liked that both Charlie and Mac question Stomtonovich's character after he forgot their appointment. To be honest I got the weirdest vibe from Stomtonovich myself, the devil is in the details. Sending Maggie out of the room for one, not being willing to confirm Genoa on camera and insisting the basketball game on tv being kept, partially, in the frame during the interview. Charlie's revelation at the end of the episode of Genoa not being real, fuels my suspicion that someone is trying to take ACN down. It also explains all the conveniences of the leads on the Genoa story. Is there a pattern I am seeing here or am I just being reading too much into things?
As for Jerry (played by Hamish Linklater), I can understand, being so close to confirmation of a story he has been pursuing for months, that it creates impatience. I don't think Jerry expected there to be consequences for his editing, for at the time he made the edit he subtly pushed the story along a path that would lead to truth. The Genoa story would come out and no one, but Stomtonovich, would be the wiser. That I can understand a character doing such a horrible thing speaks for the excellent writing on The Newsroom and how it captured that moment, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a terribly wrong action.
The thing that stood out the most to me, about the Genoa story, was the debate about the subject 'when do you run a story'? The second 'Red Team' at the end highlighted this debate and still has me thinking about it.
Other than the Genoa story there was little news coverage, except for a fast forward through several Republican campaign stumbles which lead to Romney being the Republican nominee. This left a lot of room to show us the lives of the crew beyond the newsroom.
After Jim and Hallies discretionary time got cut short, Jim found Maggie in the hotel bar on his way out. This scene really showed how far the Jim/Maggie relationship has come, or rather has fallen. Jim didn't give of any hint of being romantically interested in her anymore and showed more concern as a friend. Maggie on the other hand, clearly, has her mind occupied with other things and it is easy to see how she will accused during the aftermath of the Genoa story. Especially after she already botched the cutting of the 911-tape a while ago.
There was a poignant scene with Mac and Don in the karaoke bar that deserves a mention. It felt like a real conversation two friends have and covered a variety of subjects. But the conversation was mostly about Sloan, he really should ask her out before that ship has sailed.
Overall it was a good episode, which set up the culmination of the Genoa story for next week, while also delving deeper into the lives of our favorite news crew. And half a bonus point for the excellent metaphors used!

Acrobat 6 and PDF Solutions: Creating the PDF You Want. Pt. 2. By Sybex | 4
Acrobat 6 and PDF Solutions: Creating the PDF You Want. Pt. 2
More Techniques
Many other applications have PDF export functions similar to those I've discussed within QuarkXPress and InDesign. Some, like InDesign, have built-in PDF creation capabilities. Others, like QuarkXPress 5, ultimately use Distiller as the PDF creation tool. While their specifics may vary somewhat from what I have covered here, the general processes, procedures, and settings will be similar. Refer to the manuals that come with your specific applications and versions for any application-specific detail you may need.
That said, here are some notes about alternate methods of creating PDFs: directly through a PDF printer driver or through Adobe's PDFMaker plug-in for Microsoft applications.
Creating PDFs through PDF Printer Drivers
In Chapter 3 we discussed in detail how to create a proper PostScript file, which will be used to create a PDF. This is still the preferred method for many, but there is also another approach. Instead of creating an intermediate PostScript file using a PostScript printer driver, you can select a printer driver that will print directly to a PDF. Doing this incorporates the creation of the PostScript file and the PDF file into one step. Here, we will use InDesign as the original page layout document creation application, but these steps will apply to any application, such as QuarkXPress, which will allow you to use a PDF printer driver. Here's how (but also see my note at the end of this section):
1. When you select your printer/printer driver, select one that is labeled Adobe PDF (Figure 4.31). (If you are creating many PDFs, you may want to consider making this your default driver.)
Figure 4.31 Printer/printer driver selection
2. Inside your page layout application (InDesign here), select the Print command (usually from your File menu). A Print window will appear, similar to the one in Figure 4.32.
3. Configure this dialog box to suit your output purposes. Confirm that the printer driver is set to Adobe PDF (near the top here). In this Print window you will see six different sets of settings to configure, from General down to Advanced. Your dialog will vary depending upon your application and version.
Figure 4.32 Setting up the Print dialog to print to PDF
4. At this point you can just hit the Print button (in the lower-right corner here), and a PDF will be printed to the last folder into which you saved or printed a file.
5. If you want to rename or redirect the location of the PDF file you will be creating, click the Printer button (lower left here). Another dialog will appear, possibly named Print or Printer.
6. Click the Save As PDF button. Another dialog will appear, probably named Save To File or Save As PDF.
|Note: This same Save As PDF button may be available if you select either a standard PostScript or a specific PDF printer driver.
7. Assign a name and location for the PDF file, and click Save. Often the original Print window will reappear.
8. Click Print, and the PDF file will be created with the name and in the location you specified.
The actual number and appearance of the dialog boxes will vary depending upon your application and version. But any application that allows you to use an Adobe PDF printer driver will allow you to create a PDF in this manner. It is worth noting that you will not have the level of control over the distilling PDF file that you have when you go through Distiller.
|Note: I would be remiss if I did not mention that I personally never use this Save As PDF method to create PDF documents from QuarkXPress, because the result is often large and/or unreadable PDF documents. I have included the method here for those who would like to try it in their applications, with the hopes that this method might work better with other applications or will become less stricken with problems in the future. As I have said before, I prefer printing standard PostScript files to watched folders.
Creating One-Button PDFs with PDFMaker
Acrobat technology, or at least the PDF document portion of Acrobat technology, has become so much a part of computer-based communications that the ability to create at least some kind of a PDF documents increasingly is being incorporated in many types of applications. Acrobat 6 includes the ability to quickly create PDF documents from a wide variety of Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even Outlook.
When Acrobat 6 is installed, an application called PDFMaker is automatically installed and linked to all currently installed Microsoft applications. After installing PDFMaker, whenever you launch a Microsoft application, two Acrobat technology icons will be available in your floating tool palette in your document window: one to create a PDF and one to create and e mail a PDF file .
These are called "one-button" PDFs, although there are still two or three steps involved.
|Note: If you install a Microsoft application after you install Acrobat, you may need to reinstall Acrobat in order to have PDFMaker available in that new application
1. Create and edit a document in Microsoft Word. Save the document when you have finished.
2. Click the Convert To Adobe PDF button in the floating tool palette of the document window.
3. Assign a name to the PDF file and select a location to save it in. (By default it will use the last location where you saved this document.)
4. Click Save. A progress window will appear.
5. Wait for this progress window to complete; when it's done, you can either click the View button to view the PDF or click Done to complete the process. (I always view the PDF to make sure everything looks okay and that I didn't do something silly like having a Landscape orientation when I should have had Portrait!)
Creating and e mailing a one-button PDF is just as easy. Follow all the preceding steps. Then, after the progress window is done and you click the Done button, your default e mail program will be automatically launched, with a new blank message begun and the PDF included as an attachment. That's it, you've finished!
Choosing a PDF-Making Method
The decision of how to create a PDF file used to be easy: Distiller was the only choice. But now we have many ways to create PDF files. In this chapter I covered four major methods:
• Using an Export function
• Printing directly to a PDF using an Adobe PDF printer driver
• Using a Save As PDF button with a PostScript or PDF printer driver
• Using the "one-button" PDFMaker through Microsoft applications
Any of these methods may work for you. You have probably noticed that the PostScript and Distiller method provides you with the most control and PDFMaker the least. Also note that some methods (such as Save As PDF) might have well-documented problems.
The more demanding your output, the more control you will want to have. I typically create PDF files for high-quality output, so I normally choose the PostScript file and Distiller route. But if all you need to do is just share a quick letter with someone viewing your PDF over the Internet, and you have no images or image quality is not a key concern, then a one-button PDFMaker PDF may be all you need. Indeed, PDFMaker has been optimized for creating PDFs with the associated Microsoft applications.
I suggest that you use a method that will work for all of your PDF creation needs and stick with it. This way you become very familiar with all the settings and dialog boxes, and they will be second nature to use and you will make few mistakes. For those of you who want the ultimate in control, speed, and consistency, be sure to become familiar with the earlier section on "Putting It All Together."

The wife of disgraced Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine had sex with numerous players over many years, according to an explosive affidavit by one of the ball boys Fine is accused of molesting.
In the court papers, Robert Davis, one of the former ball boys, says he heard several players speak of having sex with Laurie Fine. He said players made jokes about what appeared to be a well-known fact. He said he overheard Laurie Fine and the wife of another coach talk about sex with players, the New York Daily News reports.
The university fired Fine in November after ESPN reported it had an audiotape in which Laurie Fine acknowledged she feared her husband had molested Davis but felt powerless to stop it.
In December, Davis and his stepbrother, Mike Lang, filed a slander suit, charging that basketball coach Jim Boeheim defamed them when he said they lied about being sexually abused by Fine, Boeheims long-time assistant.

An epic crater called OdysseusJuly 4, 2012 by Jason Major, Universe Today in Astronomy & Space / Space Exploration
On June 28 NASAs Cassini spacecraft passed by Tethys, a 1,062-kilometer (662-mile) -wide moon of Saturn thats made almost entirely of ice. Tethys is covered in craters of all sizes but by far the most dramatic of all is the enormous Odysseus crater, which spans an impressive 450 kilometers (280 miles) of the moons northern hemisphere nearly two-fifths of its entire diameter!
In fact, whatever struck Tethys in the distant past probably should have shattered it into pieces but didnt.
Tethys likely held itself together because when the impact occurred that formed Odysseus, the moon was still partially molten. It was able to absorb some of the energy of the impact and thus avoid disintegration although it was left with a quite the battle scar as an eternal reminder.
The images below are raw images from Cassinis latest pass of Tethys, showing the moons rugged terrain and portions of Odysseus from a distance of 68,521 kilometers (42,577 miles).
The central peak of Odysseus has collapsed, leaving a depression another indication that the moon wasnt entirely solid at the time of impact.
Tethys orbits Saturn at a distance of 294,660 kilometers (183,100 miles), about 62,000 miles closer than the Moon is from Earth. Such a close proximity to Saturn subjects Tethys to tidal forces, the frictional heating of which likely helped keep it from cooling and solidifying longer than more distant moons. As a result Tethys appears somewhat less cratered than sister moons Rhea and Dione, which still bear the marks of their earliest impacts although looking at the region south of Odysseus its hard to image a more extensively-cratered place.
Tethys is just another reminder of the violent place our solar system can be. Find out more about Tethys on the Cassini mission site here.

IoT Library: Cutting the Cord & 'Going Totally Wireless
1 comments post a comment
Look no further than this week's Mobile World Congress for working examples of this next-wave wireless design trend and its inevitable outcome.
Increasingly, what we think of as the Internet of Things is, in actuality, the Wireless Internet of Things with more and more engineers and product designers eschewing wires for waves, especially for data transmission, interconnection, and communications, much of it over Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi live, and other wireless protocols.
Look no further than this weeks Mobile World Congress for working examples of this next-wave wireless design trend and its inevitable outcome.
At an MWC press conference Monday, Sony announced its new smart earbud, Xperia, which is said to work with Android smartphone. The device represents a new category of wearable devices pundits have dubbed hearables. One observer sees earbuds going totally wireless in just a few short years.
Earlier this year the German company Bragi began shipping what has become one of the most popular wireless earbuds which were designed and developed through a Kickstarter campaign.
This cord cutting trend in consumer listening devices is just the tip of the iceberg. Going totally wireless for electronic data transmission, interconnection, and communications is the wave of the future for virtually every device, whether it is connected to the Internet or not.
In a world so driven by invisible wireless communications, from broadcast radio, TV, and satellites, to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee networks, its easy to take wireless communications for granted.
The basics of what we know as wireless have not changed since Maxwells equations and Marconis first experiments. It starts with the physics of a mutually re-enforcing electrical and magnetic fields being generated perpendicular to a wire when a current flows through it. From there, everything boils down to controlling and detecting the electromagnetic (EM) field as it propagates, according to the whitepaper: Cavity Choice is Critical For Stable Wireless Communication.
On the transmit side, this control includes switching the EM emissions on and off at various frequencies, controlling its power levels, and shaping the wave to encode useful information. On the receive side, the waves need to be to selectively detected (tuned into) and the encoded information extracted.
Its upon those seemingly basic principles that entire industries have been built, starting with how to most efficiently oscillate the electrically charged particles (electrons) required to generate the EM field. From there, sophisticated means of controlling an EM waves propagation have been devised that maximize information transfer in the face of both naturally occurring obstacles and wave absorption, as well as other powerful man-made interferers.

Can anyone share his experience with Predictive search for Replete+woocommerce?
The search, that gives (hint) results immediately just below search form with product images and some basic info about product.
Very much appreciated if it is tested solution for Replete.
Hi dmaca,
Your best bet would be to try a plugin that can add that kind of functionality.
Thanks, Devin!
Well, yes. It is the only way for now.
But if any recommended… or at least tested… or used by any one?
For now I found 2 plugins:
And would appreciate any info before running on live site.
Thank you!
I tested Predictive search and it worked for me in the past but (officially) we can't promise/guarantee that a third party extension works with our theme.
Best regards,
we're currently in the process to setup our site and we've used the Free Version of the WooCommerce Predictive Search and now we're using the Pro Version since it offers much needed functionality like the Template Function. We've replaced the top search box with the predictive search in a way that it doesn't (negatively) affect any other parts (eg theme upgrades) and it works quite well – altough we had to fight a bit to make the CSS as smooth as it was originally. But it is definitely possible and it is definitely worth.
Hope that helps.

|Antec ISK300-65 Mini-ITX HTPC Computer Case
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Cases
|Written by Olin Coles
|Wednesday, 01 July 2009
Page 4 of 6
Closer Look: ISK300 Interior
The Antec ISK300-65 Mini-ITX HTPC case opens to reveal a 0.8mm cold rolled steel frame, with a tray designed for holding up to two 2.5" drives and a single slim 5.25" internal optical drive. The entire enclosure is nearly 13" long, which is twice the length of an Mini-ITX motherboard.
Although it's difficult for Antec to foresee all configurations, I think that the ISK300 may have consumed more internal space that it needed. The steel tray is only half-utilized, with the other half simply acting to connect the unit and offer a minimal amount of support.
Once the case has been opened up and tray removed, the Antec ISK300-65 exposes a small working space perfect for the Mini-ITX motherboard form factor along side a component power suppy unit.
One criticism I have with the Antec ISK300-65 is how the PSU component has added more length to this Mini-ITX computer case than what's really needed. There's an extra inch on each side of the unit, and it's small enough to have been mounted in place of one of the 2.5" drives. Had this been done, the nearly five-inch extension could have been shortened, and the entire HTPC enclosure would be more square and profiled to the mITX form factor.
Since Antec decided to extend the ISK300 nearly 13", when mITX only requires half that, I suspect that a full-size optical drive could have also been utilized. The price of standard form factor optical drives is usually much lower than slim internal versions; especially in regard to the new Blu-ray Disc drives.

Hi! Thank you for stopping by to watch me, Leah, cook kosher. I've been the owner operator of my boutique catering firm in Seattle, Leah's Catering, for the past 14 years.

Designing the Mexican dinner as a 'MEAT' meal, I need a parve dessert. I want to do a flan and happen across this recipe online by Mark Bittman. Look at it ~ such promise for being free of gluten, dairy and eggs. Taste it ~ whoa; surprisingly horrible. I thought about not posting it but, hey, why not share the flops and disappointments? How else are we going to put our heads together and make good food happen?
There is a very strange after taste with each spoonful. Tasting the individual ingredients, the culprit must be the kosher unflavored and unsweetened gelatin. Possibly xanthan gum might work better. I haven't had time to experiment. The texture of this imitation flan is quite lovely; too bad it tastes awful!

|Skill Level:
|1 - Easy (1 Easy - 5 Hard)
|Estimated POINT value:
Put 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water into a small saucepan. Turn the heat to medium low and cook, shakin gthe pan occasionally until the sugar liquefies, turns clear, then turns a golden brown, about 20 minutes. Do not stir. Immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of the ramekins. Set aside.
Put the coconut into a medium saucepan and add the gelatin. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the gelatin dissolves entirely.
Put the tofu, vanilla, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar into the blender or food processor. Puree. Add the coconut mixture and blend until smooth.
Pour the custard into the prepared ramekins and refrigerate. Chill until set, about 2 hours and up to about 24 hours. After that, the custard will shrink and the caramel will bleed (yep, unappetizing as it sounds!).
To serve, dip the bottom of the ramekin in hot water for about 10 seconds. Invert onto plate. If necessary, run a small knife around the flan to loosen from the side of the ramekin. Mine came free on its own.

Sansfangs and Gums, famed British apothecary has begun running advertisements for its new improved fake toothpaste for false teeth. The product named Gleemgate to highlight its true fakeness promises to do absolutely nothing for your phony fangs. Rub it on, brush it around, or apply it with a dental drill, the ad announces, our elixir will have no effect.
When asked why anyone would want to use their product, Glenn Gary Glennlost explained:
" What if you're a toothless old farter and you go out to the pub for a pint or ten to drown your lonely sorrows and you end up going home with Maisie or Peg or some new bar fly. She nips into your lavatory and there on your sink is a perfectly fine looking tooth polish. Well, if your dental cement holds up through lots of spit swapping and gum sucking your lady love will have no idea about your oral disbility."
When I replied:" That's stupid shit!"
Glennlost retorted:" Exactly!"

Scott Marshall is a present and future master: he already has his Master's Degree in jazz studies (University of North Texas), and he is emerging as a masterful jazz composer, arranger, and soloist. Based in Toronto, Marshall is busy on the jazz scene there playing gigs as well as composing and arranging for other jazz musicians. In the midst of his regular work, he's self-produced two CD projects: Face It (2002) and now Nine Moments of Time (2007). The latter is comprised entirely of original compositions; Marshall contributed all but one (by pianist Marcel Aucoin).
This is a lovely CD, full of interesting and beautiful jazz. The pacing is thoughtful--opening with an up-tempo 8-bar blues, "Cell Phone Blues," to wake you to the talent of this quartet, followed by a walking swinger, "Cool with Rain (January 31st, 2003)," then a light Latin-styled vamp piece, "South Exposure," featuring some very nice drums and percussion by Nick Fraser, then a loping 12-bar blues, "November Blues," and so on. "Peggy Burke" must be--or have been--a beautiful female influence in Marshall's life (real or imagined), judging by the languorous ballad he wrote with her name. The original contributed by pianist Marcel Aucoin, "Speed Dark," is well-titled as a fast modal tune, the kind of song that John Coltrane would have felt at home in, and Marshall certainly covers it well on tenor. "Hymn for Spring," the closing song, is a pretty melody piece; with lyrics and some arranging it could pass as a popular ballad or folk song.
Marshall's sound on tenor is smooth and controlled, but without the breathiness common to many tenor players. On soprano sax, which he uses frequently on this record, he has excellent control without any harshness or brittleness. His quartet members play very well together; Fraser's drumming is especially inventive and flexible.
Nine Moments of Time is well-crafted jazz art. Marshall's compositions are impressive, the musicianship of the quartet is high, and the overall effect is very good jazz worthy of a spot in your music collection.

Teachers to return to Ysgol Goronwy Owen, Benllech
Teachers who passed a no confidence motion in the head teacher of their troubled Anglesey school are returning to work.
Five of the six teachers at Ysgol Goronwy Owen, Benllech, have been on sick leave since May after threatening industrial action following the motion.
Head Ann Hughes was suspended in July pending an ongoing investigation.
Anglesey council confirmed the five teachers would return at the start of term but Ms Hughes remained suspended.
Supply staff had replaced the five teachers, who are UCAC union members, while they were off.
A spokesperson for Anglesey council said: "We can confirm that the responsibility for the school will be shared between two experienced head teachers, who will work as a team whilst the investigation is under way.
"Parents have been informed of the arrangements."
The council confirmed the two heads were Gareth Hughes, head teacher at Ysgol y Borth, Menai Bridge, and Peter Thomas, former head of Ysgol Gynradd Amlwch.
The council commissioner with responsibility for education, Gareth Jones, had said in July that the school's problems must be resolved as soon as possible.

A country's success in integrating immigrants' children is a key benchmark of the efficacy of social policy in general and education policy in particular. The variance in performance gaps between immigrant and non-immigrant students across countries, even after adjusting for socio-economic background, suggests that policy has an important role to play in eliminating such gaps.
