What tax money.
Seven billion dollars of it over ten years ghost we illegal immigrants there is a new bill in congress to prevent fraudulent child tax refunds that illegals get in the form of a treasury check.
Represented Kevin Brady from Texas pushing that bill he joins us now from Houston.
I'll I'll get to -- -- bill in a second but first of all I want to know how does the money full Lou.
To the children of illegal immigrants.
Right now we have very of refundable child tax credit which is.
Not just less liability -- -- tax bill it's actually check -- comes from treasury.
These were people whose liability is a tax liability is so low that the government actually sends them help.
Unfortunately about 15%.
Of all the help for these children goes to illegal immigrants.
This loophole costs this as you said about seven and a half.
Billion dollars in the treasury itself has says this is an area fraud.
-- we have to move to close the children themselves may be born in America and full fledged American citizens but is that parents who are illegal and that the ones -- get the check is that correct.
Well not exactly what we require under this.
Closing loophole is that you have a valid Social Security number for your child.
To make sure that your tax dollars actually get to child who's here legally in deserves that help unfortunately right now they're using taxpayer.
Identification numbers those are rife with fraud have nothing do with citizenship so this is a way.
Of insuring our tax dollars aren't siphoned off.
For those -- frankly aren't -- before it so if the child.
All -- the illegal immigrant had a valid Social Security number.
Then -- illegal immigrant parents would still get the check.
On the old bill the child would get that with the child though I always get -- help if -- legal citizen metsu it is is focused on Bartlett says the inspector general tells us.
Is that about 15%.
About seven half billion dollars.
These dollars go to those who aren't eligible into the matter is we don't have enough money to help those that we're trying to help in America this loophole.
Needs to be close to get -- -- submitted this as a bill for to the house I think it's and to what chance of -- process.
Actually Ways and Means Committee voted out two bills to close to fraud loopholes of one deal with Obama -- this one.
With the tax code it is now belong to the house for the next week or two we expect Democrats to oppose it.
On a party line vote it's -- because.
-- a fraud is fraud.
And here we are a week -- most people work feverishly to finish there a tax forms and send their checks Uncle Sam.
We ought to insist that their money be used as a long -- congressman you will be attacked you'll be attacked on the grounds that you are harming children.
-- Well let's say whether there is not enough money -- frankly to help those who deserve it and who the law is targeted to help.
So when it siphoned off for those who were not here legally to those who don't deserve it it's only the -- in the very needy who -- Kevin Brady Republican congressman from Texas as always thanks for joining us now we appreciate it.

In the wake of the awful shootings at the sandy hook elementary school that has of course being a great deal.
Discussion not all of gun control legislation President Obama held that news conference in the White House briefing room yesterday.
In which he said he wants concrete proposals from this panel he's empowering.
In January and he wants then to include some of those proposals in his inaugural address.
The media has been covering it a great deal adjusting Duff come up told radio news service.
In our daily biased fast thinks that this is all -- to -- -- liberal agenda on guns Justin.
Although I wouldn't pay it and that kind of black and white term.
You know I understand a lot of the emotional responses from the pundits -- you you know speaking as a private citizen not a journalist I am open -- gun control.
But I think in many instances the media has gone too far by injecting their personal opinion and more importantly their personal emotions into this discussion.
On MSNBC this week we saw Thomas Roberts who is an anchor.
And not one -- there you know editorial people going on and asking a congressman who gave a pretty middle of the road response against gun control.
Wanting Americans to be complacent and the fact that we can send our school children to be assassinated.
Now that is a pretty heavy accusation to -- -- any congressman especially one who wasn't really getting a fire and brimstone response to gun control.
Right and I'm Justin as you say it's it's a very emotional issue particularly in the wake of something as all full.
As the killings that said sandy hook elementary and they'll lose did -- MSNBC anchor is that you mention.
They don't make a pretense.
Of being.
Non biased.
I mean it's not like anybody watching that would necessarily be surprised.
I've -- I mean is it wrong with -- anchors who -- clearly on the opinion side of things to express an opinion on this issue.
I'll why as a mention that was supposed to be their news programming but I always under -- right.
But the same time you know gun control is going to be a major -- his legislative issue come 2013.
And the media owes it to the public to give.
A more nuanced approach than you know -- lashing out and demonizing those who may come -- it from a more controversial stance than a lot of them would prefer.
All right and you just laid -- my lack of watching MSNBC all of -- -- -- I have no idea -- that particular -- -- so -- -- let's -- -- this.
The it's going to be an issue.
Through much of next year -- the president's trying to get these proposals.
On the table very quickly but then not going to get tossed quickly so this is a debate we don't have for a long time within the -- in -- -- It absolutely is I would not be surprised if gun control turns into this year's Health Care Reform.
It's going to be something that is going to be.
Bogging -- a lot of people drawing a lot of lines in the sand.
And we are going to hear a lot of public debate and a lot of that is gonna be guided by the media and going into it we really need to have a sort of clear eyed approach to this.
That really prevents.
A lot of you know needless name calling her finger pointing yeah -- -- that really doesn't help and assuming a most Americans can agree on.
Very good point Justin -- come of told radio news service good points.
As always Justin and others can be seen on FOX News Watch to -- an 11:30 PM eastern on Saturdays hosted by John Scott discussing.
All of these kind of issues -- great to -- adjusted -- have a very Merry Christmas I'll see you in the media.

SMF Support > YaBB/YaBB SE
YaBB 2.5AE to smf1.1.2 modified question
Hello all. I am brand new here and looking forward to using php for our new boards. Our current boards are running YaBB 2.5AE at imhooked.com/cgi-bin/forumsyabb/YaBB.pl. The problem i am foreseeing is the conversion of all of the data (members/boards/threads). I have searched these boards for any info on YaBB 2.5AE conversions, but do not fine anything specific.
I also have been advised that the conversion tool from YaBB2.5 to SMF does not work very well.....
Has anyone any experience in this conversion specific to YaBB 2.5 recently and if so, any pointers... OR is there anyone out there up to the task as a paid developer?
Thank you in advance
I and i believe others have already offered money to get a working YaBB 2.4 to SMF converter done but unfortunately to no avail, the current 2.2 converter does sort of work with YaBB 2.4 but the Dev who was working on it had other priorities and it was left in limbo with still quite a few errors remaining.
I guess on the brighter side though, YaBB has a new version in the works, YaBB 3, which will have full MySQL support which should not only be a huge step forward for YaBB itself but will also make converting to other software much easier, rumours have it that YaBB 3 will be released early in 2011.
The latest I could find on YABB3 Release
http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1248717173/0 [nofollow]
Yeah it was suppose to be released early last year but the code was based on previous versions and they decided to scrub that and code it from scratch, I really do hope it is released soon as I know a lot of people in similar situations that want, or need, to get away from YaBB ASAP, I look after 3 YaBB forums and their owners are on at me all the time about needing to convert away because of issues with the Flat File System YaBB uses.
Actually I'm still rather shocked that no one has got a working converter done yet for YaBB, from all the interest shown on other software forums, not to mention the regular emails I get asking about it, I would have thought one would have been available by now by other forum Dev's, then again if offers of money to get one completed has no affect I don't see what will!
But here's hoping someone out there is listening to our cries for help! ;)
I converted 2.5 AE to SMF 2.0 with the available converters here (with minor problems).
All users, posts, categories are ok. Boards didn't end up in the right categories so I did this manually.
I guess the data files are very similar to to the older YABB.

First off gotta thank Jiggmanbill for helping me out with the Recoverpro and Celorza for hosting a great first promo in which I picked up TTA-500.
Normally I don't take BCAA's because I think it's fancy kool-aid but I was recommended it quite frequently in my discussions on Intermittent fasting, I have tried other blends such as Recon and Amino Energy but they aren't what I am looking for. Recon has a bunch of filler and carbs that I simple do not want for fasting reasons, and I didn't really want to add extra caffeine with Amino Energy. I received a couple samples of RecoverPro and I really liked the lemon flavor, mixed smoothly and tasted like..well a lemon (a refreshing lemon at that). I was going over the samples of what I liked or didn't like with Jiggamanbill and I brought up the fact that I wanted to try BCAA's with my IF bulk. Low and behold I am now the proud owner of my very own tub.
Trying to keep this clean and lean. I did a dirty bulk once and I am still battling some of that extra poundage lol, don't wanna go that route.
three-five hundred over maintanence which will put me around 3000-3200 per day.
Proteins are going to be mainly eggs, chicken, tuna and ground beef. Oh and milk.
Carbs brown rice is one of my favorite carbs, I have a little rice cooker that I have mastered. Breads and pasta are a staple of my diet as well. CAN'T FORGET THE VEGETATION! Gonna be eating my veggies as well, gotta get those vitamins in.
Fats coming from peanut butter (the real stuff), heard to try coconut oil and EVOO. I normally use spray for my cooking as it doesn't add any macros but I like to drizzle EVOO in from time to time.
Right now I am on a 5 day split of the typical
Monday Chest
Tuesday Back
and so on.
Since I was doing a slight leaning phase my goal was to keep my weights the same and maintain mass, now that I am going into a caloric surplus I am going to either 1. Focus on more volume or 2. Train each group at a higher frequency.
I was thinking about trying a 3 day split. Normally hit the gym after class around 1-3 pm and start feasting immediately afterwards until I have to work.
If you have any suggestions I am all ears!
I will be using.
A preworkout (ConDense or Ignite 2)
BCAA's (Lemon RecoverPro)
No Whey Pumpkin Pie, protein for me is seasonal why not choose a flavor to match
and other random items I might just throw in for a day or so.
again suggestions?
I kind of have stages outlined for my bulk and this is the first one. Gauging myself to see what I need to add.
Anyway, can't wait to get my second log rolling! <3

General Community > Chit Chat
Need some help?
Hey everyone, I couldn't pinpoint the correct place for this question, so I chose here. I downloaded a mod called "6 custom buttons/tabs and menu's." I thought this would be really cool since I'm having trouble with creating button links in HTML. The download and setup went smoothly. I then filled out the info to add a new button and it worked! Except, I can only see the button when I'm logged into my admin account... So when someone is visiting my site, I'd like to have the button that brings it back to my real website, not the forum. Any suggestions? I didn't know if it was a setting or something, I also looked into the settings for the mod but nothing was listed...
Not entirely familiar with the mod, but what you are describing sounds like a permissions issue. Does each new button or the entire mod itself require permissions to view it? I imagine it does. Look in the Permissions area.
Just checked the parser. The mod makes edits to ManagePermissions.php and ManageSettings.php.
So, Mashby's suggestion is about right, I reckon. :)
Grumpy Old Sod:
--- Quote --- Does each new button or the entire mod itself require permissions to view it?
--- End quote ---
The answer is a big YES
Also, for future reference - if you have questions on any specific mod, there is a support thread for each and every mod available here on simplemachines.org! It is linked to from the download page for each mod....

Bills filed to lift municipal school districts ban | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Bills filed to lift municipal school districts ban
Tennessee lawmakers have come up with a new set of bills aimed at creating municipal school system in the suburban Shelby County.
Germantown and the six other suburbs are still watching closely, and are encouraged by the language in this new legislation.
There's still a "Vote yes for municipal schools" sign in Natalie Williams' front yard.
She was elected to sit on the Germantown city school board if it ever forms.
"Families here want the best education for their children," said Williams.
She's encouraged by new bills filed Thursday in Nashville that could lift the 1998 ban on municipal school districts statewide.
"You know, I'm glad to see our elected leaders are paying attention and listening to their constituents," said Williams.
Suburban Memphis lawmakers, including state representative Curry Todd, are once again behind the push.
Only this time the language may make their plan more palatable to a judge who struck down previous legislation because it applied only to Shelby County.
"I think it may be challenged in court, but I think it will stand up because it has statewide applications so no one can say it's just for Shelby County," said Todd.
Shelby County Commissioner Sidney Chism, who voted to take the suburbs to court the first time, believes another court fight would be fruitless if this new legislation passes and applies statewide.

Pinwheel Mints Recipe
Both my grandmother and my mom used to make these eye-catching confections as a replacement for ordinary mints at Christmas. When I offer them at parties, guests tell me the mints are wonderful, and then ask how I created the pretty swirl pattern.
- 1 package (8 ounces) PHILADELPHIA® Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- Red and green food coloring
- Additional confectioners' sugar
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and extract until smooth. Gradually beat in as much confectioners' sugar as possible.
- Turn onto a work surface dusted with confectioners' sugar; knead in remaining confectioners' sugar until smooth and sugar is absorbed (mixture will be stiff). Divide mixture in half. Using food coloring, tint one portion pink and the other portion light green, kneading until blended.
- Divide each portion in half; shape each half into a 10-in. log to make two pink logs and two green logs. Place one log on a 12-in. piece of waxed paper lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Flatten log slightly; cover with a second piece of waxed paper. Roll out candy mixture into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle. Repeat with remaining logs.
- Remove top sheet of waxed paper from one pink and one green rectangle. Place one rectangle over the other. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap in waxed paper; twist ends. Repeat with remaining rectangles. Chill overnight.
- To serve, cut candy into 1/2-in. slices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Rename it: Adaptive thinking and responsive layouts
Go on, you know you've thought it. What's the difference between adaptive design and responsive design, read about it, gotten confused, read some more.
The mere fact that the who's, who's who of the interwebs (Jeffrey, James, Aaron) have spent as much time qualifying it – means it's not user friendly.
For those at the bleeding-edge of design, it's a challenge. For the people who have to convince the bean counters why it's worth the expense (topic for another day), it's downright painful.
So I propose we rename it. To eliminate all confusion.
adaptive design is now adaptive thinking.
responsive design is now responsive layouts.
And just so there is no confusion, here's the lexicon -
adaptive thinking = the exercise of thinking about how users will want/need to engage with the experience (design, content, technology).
responsive layouts = fluid layouts that adjust to screen resolutions, load appropriately sized images, accommodate relevant copy.
progressive enhancement = an approach to how a digital property is built, to allow it to have a minimum, viable, usable feature-set, and then increasingly progressing as the property is rendered to take full advantage of the users consumption device.
design = the exercise or activity that applies adaptive thinking to generate experiences that meet the needs of users (aka user centered design). It's outputs may include responsive layouts among other things.
mobile = an example of a device that may generate use cases, for which an adaptive thinker will solve.
There. No more confusion. Now go forth and create for the user.

Because Peter Berg has moved onto the boardgame adaptation BATTLESHIP, DreamWorks has tapped NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM's Shawn Levy to direct their robot-boxing flick, REAL STEEL, according to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER [1].
The film is set in a future whether human boxing has been outlawed and now robots engage in fisticuffs for human entertainment. The story centers on a father and his estranged son who are training a new skilled fighter. John Gatins (DREAMER) is penning a new draft of the script.
Angry Films' Don Murphy and Susan Montford are the producers. Steven Spielberg is the exec producer with ImageMovers' Robert Zemeckis, Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke. Levy will also produce.
The project was originally acquired from Dan Gilroy on spec in 2003. Jeremy Leven (THE NOTEBOOK) and Les Bohem (THE ALAMO) both have done rewrites.

text: I just purchased a refurbished Toshiba SD3755 from uBid. I do not have the best tv in the world, so the video is being fed through my VCR until I can afford to get a new tv. When I got everythign hooked up and put a disc in to test it out, it continually went from a clear picture to a fuzzy mess. Could this be from running it through the VCR, or would you guess that it is something wrong with the DVD player? I am going to get a modulator tomorrow to try running the DVD player directly into the TV, but I wanted to get someone else's opinion. Thanks.

I think that Republicans are trying to figure out right now -- it's either April Fool's Day or Christmas because the real whistle blower.
To the fact that the present has been.
-- rather -- can -- with all this hysteria about -- has been Bob -- none other than the gold standard of modern mainstream journalism.
Who has -- held there in account once in a -- pop up price of politics now and an op Ed in the Washington Post.
His real intimate knowledge of the fact that the -- was president Obama's idea formulate and along with Jack -- now secretary of the treasury at the time.
But in advisor inside the White House and the whole idea really was never to be and then.
Article or rather a mechanism to raise taxes it was really meant to force Republicans to the table -- -- avoid didn't.
As I mean -- -- that such a bad idea it's a great idea and I think that to be honest with you.
I think we're making a lot more about this and we should first of all 85 billion dollars out of what was what -- -- trillion dollars in spending each year if we can't -- 85 billion dollars to cut.
In a way that makes sense into the across the board -- -- -- -- this question if we can't find that we have big problems.
But this conversation I do believe that the president and the Republicans need to come together for bigger deal.
And we need things like a -- to force our hand because otherwise that don't know how -- Position and I don't like -- well I don't know what I've been the front.
Limbaugh clearly is that if it was set there is this sort of doomsday scenario in this sort of damocles hanging over everybody.
It's very well still getting together and doing a deal -- I don't know who's to blame more than any other side.
But for in my view that all to blame it all completely useless and they are all.
Failing the American in a moment -- -- let me get Bryant some credit he's taking the position exactly opposite of President Obama that I had acted within.
Proclaiming this doomsday scenario in the -- were to take -- back and by the way it's not 85 billion anymore it's now 44.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- and they're actually -- -- right up my mind that kind of modest spending cut most of which asleep at the come from the Department of Defense might fool some.
From George McGovern -- we've always -- Democrats that he got to cut the -- that's right then.
I think we have a much more structural problem in government -- look the one word on testimony Jonathan and the reporting that I think is damning.
Is that it does actually assign blame to the president and his failure of leadership and help until the election it was fine for the president to be a salesman that's to be understood.
But at some point like Reagan did like Clinton did you have to come to the table and -- But a deal as the leader of the country not the leader of the party and the president has yet fail to do it.
And the fact that he's meeting on the last day that there possibly could have been a -- so talent seriously was about achieving one.
Getting there will get into the -- Bob Woodward reporting I must come that I played in a moment of the -- -- by -- that he was threatened by Gene Sperling who has Brit Hume pointed at.
Not exactly the most correct -- that and I saw James -- we should get a still -- -- -- to put up there if you got an email from this man saying you might regret -- would you be scared Barry is look this agreement does not mean he looks like a bespectacled -- which you have to be.
I action that almost -- National Economic Council director of how.
Up but really it doesn't but that that the whining about the threatening and everything we gonna get into that and the biased actually got to the -- play the -- to the point of his reporting I would say is what you.
Go home run you make you want my thing about Bob Woodward was only going to be if anybody thinks ball would would.
Is an unbiased journalist and he mole they need to do is go back to the 1996 book the choice right -- did that ahead though the election.
Which -- Bob Dole against Bill Clinton running for a second term you only need you to read chapter one of that to see -- -- what is coming from.
So let's not really enjoy what gave may have been the -- -- and I don't criticize the man who broke the Watergate scandal.
-- let's not pretend he's behind him right after the -- analyst and he goes after everybody well.
Russell if what he was doing the direct comparison it was very much we'll -- I think let's try to let our league I thought I'd make that point what public decide about a smaller -- you -- I guess you're right as.

Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Turntables and Records
A collection of items from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive and around the Web, taking a brief look at creative and sometimes poetic plays with the familiar audio technology of vinyl records.
Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: The Gaming Canvas
Brent Watanabe, for(){};(2013). Projection-mapped video game on canvas.
A collection of items from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive and around the Web, taking a brief look at creative works that bring gaming literacy to the canvas plane.
Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Arrays and Matrices
A collection of examples from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive on installation artworks which can be characterized by geometric or networked arrangement.
Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: WebGL
A collection of examples from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive on the relatively new and impressive web technology, WebGL.
WebGL has very recently reached it's second birthday, and has transformed the browser-based experience incredibly. By utilizing the local graphical hardware on your computer, the browser can now display smooth 3D graphics, impressive when compared to the early text-based publishing nature of the internet. The technology has been used to create great examples of interactive content, from biological studies, data visualization, design services, and many web toys.
The selection is certainly not a comprehensive examination on the subject, but offers a look into some of the creative potential of the technology, from demos to services.
Online community site for hosting and sharing 3D shader examples, featuring many impressive and interactive works:
Shadertoy is the first application to allow developers all over the globe to push pixels from code to screen using WebGL since 2009.
This website is the natural evolution of that original idea. On one hand, it has been rebuilt in order to provide the computer graphics developers and hobbyists with a great platform to prototype, experiment, teach, learn, inspire and share their creations with the community. On the other, the expressiveness of the shaders has arisen by allowing different types of inputs such as video or sound.
Online portfolio service hosts your 3D models, including Kinect captures, which are both interactive and embeddable:
Sketchfab is a web service to publish interactive 3D content online in real-time without plugin. The world we live in is in 3D, but the web is still in 2D, and we want to change that. We think your 3D models deserve something better than screenshots or "showreel" videos. That's why we created Sketchfab. We understand 3D and bring it to ...
Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Contemporary Plotter
A collection of examples from the Prosthetic Knowledge Tumblr archive on the modern adoption of an older computer output technology - the plotter.
Invented in 1953, the plotter was a vectorial drawing output device developed by Remington-Rand for the UNIVAC computer for technical drawing. As other forms of printers nor monitors were as ubiquitous as they are now, the plotter drawing became the main format for early computer art, which can be seen by the many examples produced by the Algorists.
As new approaches and availability to technical means, plotter or vector drawing has over the last ten years had a renaissance, with various projects utilizing this method for 'live' drawings. Many move away from traditional pen drawing, utilizing other media such as lasers, spray paint, and brushes. Here are a small collection of examples which take the plotter principle and apply it in new and interesting ways.
Lunar Trails
Project by Seb Lee-Delisle takes well known arcade game 'Lunar Lander', and documents every gameplay on an accompanying visual plot.
Lunar Trails is an interactive installation, first commissioned by the Dublin Science Gallery for their GAME exhibition, running from November 2012 to the end of January 2013.
It features a full size arcade cabinet running the vintage 1979 game Lunar Lander. As you play the game, the path that you take is rendered on the wall with a large hanging drawing robot.
The trails build up to produce artworks that are solely created by the game players, and is a reflection of all their individual journeys to the surface of the moon.

Firefighters battled a large blaze that raged through lumber piles taking up about the space of half a football field at the wholesale lumber company Nor Cal Wood Products on Kunzler Ranch Road on Friday.
Six fire agencies sent nine engines and about 50 firefighters to the scene when the fire was reported at about 3:45 p.m., according to Ukiah Valley Fire District Battalion Chief Mike Mayfield, and an engine was parked near each surrounding business.
"Our challenge is (that) the fire is so deep-seated in the lumber piles," said Mayfield, the incident commander for the fire. He said the fire wasn't contained as of about 5:30 p.m., and did not estimate how long that would take.
"The problem is that it's so unpredictable, as far as what we have to deal with," he said.
Flames licked around the piles of cut lumber, some covered with tarps bearing the names Harwood, Hampton Lumber, Weyerhauser and Eel River Sawmills Inc., among others, while two trucks along the access road sprayed a steady stream of water into the lumber piles.
"Significant wind" carried the flames east through the stacks of lumber, burning between 50,000 and 60,000 board feet, according to Mayfield.
It was unknown on Friday what caused the blaze. Ukiah Ambulance responded to the scene for a firefighter whose eyes were injured, according to Mayfield.
Fire personnel and trucks responded from Hopland, Potter Valley, Redwood Valley-Calpella, the Ukiah Fire Department, Ukiah Valley Fire District and Cal Fire.
Firefighters saved a Pacific Gas & Electric power pole at the site after it caught fire, preventing the power lines from coming down, according to Mayfield. He said the power to the lines was turned off.
Mendocino County Air Quality Control Officer Chris Brown, who also responded to the scene, said it was fortunate that none of the wood piles contained pressure-treated lumber, or other chemicals would have been released into the air.

Eisenhower and the Cold War (Magill's Literary Annual 1982)
The Eisenhower presidency has undergone massive reappraisal in recent years, with the president's star continuing to rise. The image of Eisenhower fostered in the 1960's and into the 1970's was of a weak president who preferred golfing to decision-making, who allowed others, particularly Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, to make important decisions. He seemed to personify the tranquilized 1950's, a time when "the bland were leading the bland." A president who read Westerns and slept late seemed to fulfill the country's expectations, a father figure who took life easy. It is now clear, however, that the 1950's were anything but a tranquil period, and it is clear also that Eisenhower only pretended to sleep much of the time. His low profile was deliberate, designed to reassure the country while he continued to make difficult decisions, particularly concerning foreign policy matters. He now appears as a strong leader whose strong anti-Communism did not prevent him from negotiating with the Soviet Union and reducing military spending. The seemingly contradictory nature of Eisenhower's foreign policy decisions, intervening to stop Communism in countries such as Iran and Guatemala while working strenuously to prevent nuclear war, has perhaps been most fully explored in Blanch Cook's recent The Declassified Eisenhower (1981). Refurbishing Eisenhower's image is also the goal of Robert Divine's study, although, unlike Cook, he does not...

- The Millionaire Matchmaker Patti is Furious Thurs 9/8c
It was "Take Our Son to Work" week and boy did Sin get a kick out of watching Mommy and Daddy do what we do best -- find people love. Now that our little man is the Big 3, he is in full-force preschool mode. It went from the infamous "Terrible Twos" to the "Independent, I Do What I Want and You Can't Stop Me Threes." Let's just say I thought matching up crazy millionaires was tough work, but it ain't got nothing on a toddler with attitude! Anyhow, isn't he just the cutest boy ever? Ok, I'm his mom and I'm biased.
It was a double header of estrogen with women millionaires this week. Normally this makes us all want to run for the hills. However, Shonda and Angela were quite tame, unlike the usual lady beasts we have. Shonda is as sweet as can be and Angela with her Alpha-attitude's bark is worse than her bite. Hallelujah!
I think Angela chose Jeff because he was soft and kind and she ran him over with her competitiveness. She really does need to change her views in order to find a good man for her. She said she wanted someone who can take charge Gage or Cage did take charge and she didn't like it. I think it may have been the fact she felt uncomfortable with all the questions he was asking.
I think Angela likes to think of herself as the Alpha male in the relationship. I think she takes pride in trumping men. Until she's ready to give that up, she isn't going to change.
Usually you can look at someone's kid and say they look like Dad or Mom, but your son looks like BOTH OF YOU! He's adorable. Skeet shooting, yeah there's nothing more romantic than getting out your 12 gauge and yelling PULL..........that' what SHE SAID??!! Anyway, I agree....skeet shooting may be fun with your brother (or cousins), but not on a date.
Your son is absolutely adorable. He looks like his father. You are a very attractive woman, yourself and I have always thought that, even though I don't watch the show any more.Best of luck with you and your family.

What does a quid have to do with extreme poverty? This week thousands of people across the United Kingdom, including me, are challenging themselves to spend only £1 a day for 5 days for all food and drink. As participants in the Live Below the Line Campaign we will get a taste of life in extreme poverty.
The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than £1 a day for everything; a lifestyle that 1.4 billion people around the world currently lead. Even though this £1 represents a dramatic reduction in their weekly food bill, participants will not experience many of the other areas of extreme poverty. The Live Below the Line campaign teaches that extreme poverty is about more than just money but is fundamentally about a lack of choice and opportunity.
UNICEF estimates that 101 million children, most of them girls, don't have the opportunity to access primary education. Poverty is the main reason that children aren't able to go to school. The cost of school fees, uniforms, bus fares, and textbooks often force parents to choose only some of their children to be educated and girls are frequently left out. UNICEF reports that many parents believe that the contribution a female child can make toward cleaning and cooking outweighs the cost of their education, particularly when there are few skilled jobs available for women.
The Live Below the Line campaign gives participants the opportunity to fundraise for one of 22 partner charities including organisations like Malaria No More UK, RESULTS UK, Restless Development, UNICEF, Salvation Army UK, and Christian Aid. Each of these organisations are on the ground tackling issues of extreme poverty and creating a world where all people have a chance at leading a fulfilling life.

There is a TV ad for a website dating service, that says 1 in 5 relationships now start online.
It's likely that this is representative of the bigger picture: today we are embracing the net for all our activities. We're shopping for everything online – not just for a partner!
All this has put a broad smile on the faces of the cardboard box makers: over 1 billion parcels were shipped to fulfil online purchases in the UK last year.
The latest figures show the awesome power of e-retail, and the business potential you gain by having a great website.
UK e-retail sales rose 16% in 2011, and are expected to rise 13% this year, making the UK the largest e-retail economy in Europe.
Last year, online shopping accounted for 17% of all UK retail sales.
Online shopping is now happening through a greater variety of channels, and is no longer an evening-at-home activity. Increasingly, we are using our drivetime to shop online. We take our phones and iPads to browse on the train, in the car, on the bus. Shopping via mobile devices has risen from 0.4% of total e-retail to 5.3% in just 2 years.
We seem to be particularly happy to do our food shopping online. No more drives to the supermarket, no more Saturday morning push 'n shove, no more trolley with a wonky wheel and a mind of its own!
It all goes to show that an eye-catching and well-designed website is an investment that pays for itself – many times over!

Migration From Plone to WordPress
December 30, 2010 by spoonfork · 2 Comments
Migrating from Plone to WordPress is not quite as straightforward as it may seem. In fact, it was quite a PITA. One of the factors for this was that none of us (except for @kagesenshi) have deep technical expertise on the innerworkings of Plone, or Zope. There was one solution, but reading through it, I know it would be a PITA.
So I decided that the best solution would be to parse Plone's RSS feed and import them to WordPress' MySQL database. This seems to be the most sensible, effective and headache free solution – provided that your Plone entries (articles, news, etc) combined are not in thousands.
The first thing that you need to do is to aggregate the entire Plone site. The steps to do this is well documented here.
The RSS by default will publish only 15 items. You have to change the RSS' setting to, well, a very large number if you want to parse all the contents. This can be done by navigating to synPropertiesForm
of the Plone site.
So now you will have all the site's content in RSS. Parsing the RSS is easy. My first attempt was to use ElementTree, a library that I always use whenever dealing with stuff XML-ish. Apparently it didn't work properly, so I used feedparser instead.
Here's a snippet of the code that does the job. This code reads a RSS file. feedparser can also retrieve the RSS remotely.
import feedparser import os import sys import MySQLdb as mdb # get this from the db # post_author id # mel => 1 # sniffit => 2 # klks => 3 # apparently unicode is not handled properly eventhough uft8 is aleady set, so edit the RSS file and remove Unicode chars first if __name__ == '__main__': file = sys.argv[1] if not os.path.exists(file): print "Error: Unable to find file: " + file sys.exit(1) dbname = "yourdb" dbpass = "yourpassword" dbhost = "localhost" dbuser = "youruser" conn = mdb.connect(dbhost, dbuser, dbpass, dbname, charset="utf8") cursor = conn.cursor() f = feedparser.parse(file) l = len(f['entries']) print "Processing %d entries" % l for post in f['entries']: title = post.title link = post.link content = post.description content = content.encode('utf8') postdate = post.date slug = link.split("/")[-1] author = post.author post_author = "" if author == 'mel': post_author = "1" if author == 'sniffit': post_author = "2" if author == 'klks': post_author = "3" print "Importing post " + title q = "INSERT INTO wp_posts (post_date, post_date_gmt, post_content, post_title, post_name, post_author) VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)" cursor.execute(q, (postdate, postdate, content, title, slug, post_author)) conn.commit() cursor.close() conn.close()
There are a few things that this script doesn't do, namely tags and categories. This can be coded, or done manually. Also, the RSS' HTML output as generated by Plone may contain some garbage or wayward HTML tags (which are pretty consistent in around 80% of contents) and this can be cleaned up manually or by code.

I have to say, when we watch football games, my son sees things that I don't. He watches the offensive and defensive line do battle -- I follow the ball. He watches the coverage and routes -- I follow the ball. He watches the blitzes come and how the offense reacts -- I follow the ball. In an attempt to communicate at this advanced level I introduced him to Brian's UFR posts. He has grown to love this type of breakdown because it gives you a indication of individual performance based on something other than "following the ball". It also introduced us to Tacopants:
From MGoBlog: "Tacopants"? Tacopants is Jason Avant's eleven-foot tall imaginary friend. Chad Henne spent much of 2005 hitting him between the numbers, which are unfortunately eight feet off the ground and made of dreams. Blessed with infinite eligibility and the ability to sneak on and off the field without alerting the referees -- made of dreams, remember -- Tacopants has taken a lesser role in the offense as Henne matures but still pops up at inopportune times. |
Brian claims the name has its genesis in this post. All credit needs to go to him. It continues to be part of the QB charting process. T9 and I typed it frequently last year during our in game text storms.
Last weekend while I was fooling around on the XBox360 version NCAA 2009 - I threw a bad pass over the open reciever and my son quipped "Tacopants". It wasn't long before I convinced him that we should modify one of Michigan's WRs in the game into Tacopants himself. I am sad to report the programmers at EA Sports decided to limit an individual players height to only 7'0'' -- but we created him anyway. On the other hand, I am happy to report with Tacopants in the lineup, Michigan easily defeated Utah, Notre Dame (in the rain), Michigan State, and Ohio State... even with Steven Threet and Nick Sheridan at QB.
RR has 5 days and 17 hours to get Tacopants to sign his letter of intent.

Worried about what the future may hold for your health? An emerging health movement is encouraging the ''worried well'' to literally put their anxieties on ice.
A number of Australian IVF clinics tout egg freezing and storage for healthy women in their 30s who want a baby but are not yet ready to conceive.
Private cord banks can store tissue and blood from a baby's umbilical cord, which could potentially provide stem cells to be used to treat a range of illnesses from cancer to cerebral palsy.
Insuring against the future comes at a price with cord blood storage costing about $3000 and egg freezing up to $14,000, but critics say clinics that offer such services are exploiting people's fears.
IVF clinics say they are promoting ''fertility preservation'' services in response to strong demand for information. Private cord banks say they are offering parents peace of mind.
Advertisements for Fertility East promote services for single women featuring an image of a female with the number 35 on her chest and a clock set at five minutes to midnight on her abdomen and the caption: ''Single and wanting a baby? Act while your biological clock is still ticking.''
Sandra Dill, the chief executive of the infertility network Access Australia, said such marketing could exploit people's concerns about their ability to conceive.
''The dilemma for people seeking guidance is they need to be informed,'' she said.
''Advertising is one way of giving information but it is very limited information. We really encourage people to be informed and not to just blithely accept information, particularly in something like an ad, which is really just a grab. When you're talking about medical treatment, it's always more complex.''
The director of Fertility East, John Brain, said rather than exploiting the concerns of single women, the promotional material was addressing them by providing information about their options.
A recent information session had 120 women register. Fertility East had to hold three sessions to accommodate the interest.
''What we're trying to get across is that after the age of 35, their eggs start to deteriorate,'' he said.
''By the time they reach 40, they are at the last stage. Once the eggs are finished they have to look at donor programs.
''What I see quite a lot of is a woman is 38, she's worked and travelled and run companies, she's done the lot. She wants to have a baby but she hasn't got Mr Right. She's looking for a man and she's got two years to go.
''Whereas if they sought information at the age of 35 or before, there is a chance that, while we can't give them Mr Right, we can give them alternatives so they could end up with a baby.''
IVF Australia does not actively promote fertility preservation, although it recently conducted a letter box drop in the eastern suburbs inviting couples to an information session about other services it offers. Associate Professor Peter Illingworth, the medical director of IVF Australia, said women need to be able to make informed choices, although in his view, egg freezing was ''not a particularly good deal''.
''Promoting egg freezing is one of those examples of worrying the well,'' he said. ''I don't see any moral or ethical problem with it. It's a perfectly reasonable thing for a woman to want to do, but she needs to be informed about what the process involves and the likelihood of success.''
Demand for private cord bank storage, which has been available for 10 years, has also increased, with 18,000 units of cord blood stored privately in NSW.
Federal government regulations limit the use of cord blood stem cells, which are mainly used to treat immune deficiency and leukaemia.
High-profile parents who have chosen to use the services of the private cord bank Cell Care include the former Olympic swimmer Michael Klim and his wife, businesswoman Lindy, and the AFL star Chris Judd and his wife, model Rebecca. Mrs Judd and Mrs Klim have both provided testimonials on Cell Care's website.
''My husband, Chris, and I hope that Oscar never needs to use his stored cord blood but it gives us great peace of mind to know that it is there just in case,'' Mrs Judd wrote.
Mrs Klim wrote: ''Obviously, no one ever wants to think about the possibility of their child getting sick and I really hope that we never have to use the cord blood, but it makes us feel safe to know that it's there if we do ever need it.''
The ''just in case'' factor is the key driver behind the growth in private cord bank services according to the medical director of Cell Care, Mark Kirkland.
''There is a very long history of just-in-case storage for people who have already been diagnosed with an illness,'' he said. ''This is just extending that out to people who haven't got the diagnosis but it still might be worthwhile.''
Storage of tissue for healthy people is a growing area overseas, with clinics offering services for fat tissue, bone marrow and immune cells.
Dr Kirkland rejects suggestions that such services prey on people's concerns, saying it's no different from the insurance industry.
''It's the nature of an insurance policy that you make a value judgment about the value of any given investment in future events,'' he said. ''Certainly we are meticulous in not making false promises about what cord blood can do. We're giving people that option with full knowledge.''
The Medical Board of Australia's code of practice on advertising expressly prohibits playing on patients' vulnerability or fears about their future health and also the use of testimonials. A spokeswoman for the board said it had heard concerns about a wide range of advertising issues but she was unable to comment on specific cases.
