Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
Modifying BBC Code
Hi, take a look in Subs.php. That's where the BBC code is defined.
Rather than changing the existing tag. Create a new tag named colour so that both color= and colour= will work.
And you shouldn't be messing with the css as the members don't see that.
ChalkCat @Christmas:
Thanks Kays, I think this will keep me busy for a while... ;)
Marcus Forsberg:
Subs.php where the code is defined as well as Subs-Editor.php where the button is added to the editor should be enough, the other files shouldn't need any edits at all. Just copy all code related to the color BBC and paste it, then edit the pasted code to use the UK spelling.
ChalkCat @Christmas:
Thanks Marcus :) I must admit I'm struggling. I seem to have done all that in both files, but when I test it, although my UK spelling is recognised as a tag, because the tags don't show in the post, the colour of the text remains unchanged :(
I think a little break and a little glass of wine is called for then I'll look through it again with refreshed eyes ;)
Marcus Forsberg:
Indeed, it's always a good thing to take a break from coding when you run into trouble! :)

This little amazing place ! I was alone and found myself in the most loving environment. Nothing is ever trouble for the beautiful staff. Always an honest smile. Cutest little driveway lane in that opens up into an almost secluded little oasis. The restaurant offers great food and drinks. The drinking water is amazing. And very little chemicals are used....

Meister considering another run at political office
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A former Democratic candidate for governor is considering another run for office in Nebraska.
Scottsbluff attorney Mike Meister said Wednesday that he has formed an exploratory committee as he decides which office to seek.
Meister says he is pondering a run for governor, the Legislature, or the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Mike Johanns. None of the three seats will have an incumbent in the 2014 race.
Meister was the Democratic Party's nominee in the 2010 governor's race, but he lost to Republican Gov. Dave Heineman. Meister joined the race at a disadvantage in late July 2010, with almost no campaign money and fewer than 100 days to go before the general election. He accepted his party's nomination after the previous nominee, Mark Lakers, abruptly withdrew from the race.

I am finally getting used to the idea of fall. I may even be a teensy weensy bit excited about it. Normally I do look forward to each season by the time it hits, but this year it has been a bit of a struggle. The colors are now starting to change, a cool refreshing breeze is in the air and people are getting into their kitchens and baking up a storm, myself included. So, what is there not to get excited about, right?
Whenever I think of fall, I think of school. And, whenever I think of school, I think of apples. How cliche is that? You would think I would think of apples merely because they are in season. I never gave my teachers any apples growing up and it wasn't even my favourite fruit to bring in my lunch box. That really goes to show how much we are affected by "propaganda." As a general rule a great way to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies is to make them fun. And, most fruits and veggies are easy to cut into different shapes to trick kids into thinking that it is actually enjoyable to eat them. So far my son has no trouble eating anything and everything under the sun, he even ate these Indian Dosas with a smile on his face. I am thinking that I may not have to try too hard with him. But, that doesn't mean that I won't be making these apples just for fun.
These Puzzle Apples would be great to put in your child's lunchbox. They might possibly even be quite proud to show these off to their friends. Which means extra points for Mom (or Dad). They will get a little brown but if you sprinkle them with lemon juice it should help the oxidization to slow down. Placing the apple back together after cutting and wrapping in seran wrap should help slow down the browning as well. So how do you make these browning beauties you ask? Here's the lowdown:
Using a pairing knife make one cut from the stem halfway down the apple. Turn the apple a 1/4 turn and cut again at a 90 degree angle from the first cut, making sure to go only half way down the apple.
Turn the apple over and making sure that the cuts are on the exact opposite side of the top, repeat the cutting process.
Turn the apple on it's side and connect two of the cuts through the centre, cutting horizontally across the apple, making sure to go right through to the middle of the apple. Skip one space and repeat on opposite side.
Pull the apple apart gently. If there is any resistance go over the cuts again with your pairing knife making sure all the cuts go right through to the centre of the apple. Finito!
What is your favourite way to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies?

Shon Morris from the Big Ten Network joined the show on Tuesday to talk about the Big Ten Title race and who should be Coach of the Year.
Badgers losing Gasser at the point guard position and still being able to play so well as the reason Bo Ryan deserves the honor. "If I were to vote right now, I would give it to Bo Ryan."
What has surprised Morris about Wisconsin? "How unbelievably consistent they are, whether they are up ten or down ten, they are not going to change the way they play. They don't do anything to help you beat them." Morris was also amazed at Wisconsin's place in the Big Ten, even though free throw shooting has been such an issue.
Minnesota plays Indiana tonight, and Morris said this could be a good game. "I'm not going to shocked if Minnesota (beats Indiana), but if Indiana pulls this one out tonight, they have to feel pretty good about where they are (in winning the Big Ten)."
Indiana has won four in a row, and Morris said it starts with defense. "They really picked it up defensively. They were able to get out in the open floor, and that's where their threes fall and they're much more fluid offensively."
As for Michigan State, Morris said they need Keith Appling to get things mentally figured out. "He is still a top ten player in the league, but they need him to recover."

The Missouri Tigers (3-2 overall, 0-2 in Southeastern Conference play) return home to begin an entire month in the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field.
You won't see Mizzou leave the state of Missouri until the calendar flips to November, as the Tigers have home games this month against Vanderbilt (Oct. 6), Alabama (Oct. 13) and Kentucky (Oct. 27), sandwiched around a bye week (Oct. 20).
The first home test comes this Saturday, when Mizzou plays host to the Vanderbilt Commodores (1-3, 0-2), in a game scheduled to kick at 6 p.m. (central time).
The game will be televised on FOX Sports Network.
Mizzou is coming off a hard-earned 21-16 road win at Central Florida last Saturday the Tigers dug deep and won the second half, turning a 10-7 halftime deficit into a 21-10 lead midway through the 4th quarter, thanks to a 3rd-quarter punt return score (66 yards by Marcus Murphy) an improved run game (101 2nd-half rush yards by TB Kendial Lawrence) and a stingy defense (15 rush yards allowed in 2nd half).
Vanderbilt is coming off a bye week following a 48-3 loss at Georgia on Sept. 22nd.
The Commodores opened their season with a tough 17-13 home loss to South Carolina, and dropped to 0-2 the next week after a 23-13 defeat at Northwestern. Vandy improved to 1-2 on Sept. 15th with a 58-0 whitewash of Presbyterian in week three.

The Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse Association (KMSHA) and the Spotted Mountain Horse Association (SMHA) present their 9th annual International Grand Championship, October 9-12!
The International Grand Championship will feature the $50,000 one-day KBIF Futurity on Friday October 11, held in the Alltech Arena, which has a heated indoor arena and barns.
For more than 200 years, the saddle horse has lived in the hills and valleys of many parts of Kentucky. Originally bred by the mountain people for the demanding needs of farm life, this horse, which had been secluded for many years, became noticed and domesticated in the late 1980's. Since then, over the last 20 some years, these horses have become a highly sought after "pleasure horse" around Kentucky and the world, due to their easy going temperament, intelligence, versatility, willingness, and most notably, a smooth, natural 4-beat gait.
The SMHA was formed in 2002 as a subsidiary of the KMSHA, so that mountain horses that had "spots" of white that were considered too much coverage for any of the existing mountain horse breeds, could be registered.
The Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse and the Spotted Mountain Horse breeds, each with their own distinctive characteristics and genetic DNA markers, are recognized by the University of Kentucky, Equine Parentage Testing and Genetic Research Center as their own unique breed of Horse. There are now more than 18,000 registered Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses and 2,900 individuals and families are members of the Association. The KMSHA is indisputably the largest and fastest growing Mountain Horse breed in existence today.
The International Grand Championship is sure to be a show to see this fall! For more information regarding the KMSHA International Grand Championship, call (859)225-5674 or visit www.kmsha.com.

The Kentucky Classic Combined Drive Event (CDE), modeled after the ridden three-day eventing, but with the extra challenge generated by the addition of the carriage and the more limited communication with the horses, will be October 3 – 6, at the Kentucky Horse Park.
First, horses or ponies are presented in the dressage arena to demonstrate obedience, suppleness and the skill of the handler. Judges take into consideration standards expected at each level and score accordingly. The dressage test, while it is the most nerve-wracking for the competitor, is the foundation for the rest of the sport.
The marathon, equivalent to ridden cross-country, is the phase that draws many participants to the sport and provides the most excitement for competitors and spectators. It is on the marathon that the driver must be able to gauge speed and pace in order to finish each section within the time allowed. In the last section, drivers must complete a series of hazards negotiating up to six gates in each. Competitors approach the hazards, often at a gallop, threading their way through gates with inches to spare. The hazards are what give the sport its thrill factor.
The final phase, the cones, tests the ability of the driver to clear a course of up to 20 gates at the required pace without incurring penalties. Combined driving cones are wedge-shaped, with hollow tops, on which are placed balls. The merest touch is enough to cause a knock-down and a five-point penalty and the clearance between cones becomes narrower and narrower, testing the mettle of even top professionals. Like three-day eventing, combined driving is scored by a system of penalty points with the winner earning the lowest score.
Combined driving has its roots in England. In 1970, His Royal Highness Prince Philip, established the first set of international rules that were implemented at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. A great competitor, first with a four-in-hand of horses and later with Fell ponies, Prince Philip remains a strong supporter of the sport.
The CDE runs Preliminary, Intermediate and Advanced Level competition here at the Kentucky Horse Park, the site of the 2010 World Equestrian Games. Since 2012, the Kentucky Classic CDE has been allocated the 2012 USEF National Championships for Single, Pair, and Four-in-Hand Ponies, as well as the USEF National Championships for Pair Horses. As a result, the CDE attracts the nation's top competitors.
Whether you plan to attend as a competitor, spectator or volunteer, we hope you enjoy the show! For more information about the Kentucky Classic CDE, visit www.KentuckyClassicCDE.com.

The 2013 Special Olympics Kentucky Equestrian Competition, September 28, will play host to 64 Special Olympics riders from around the state, many from therapeutic riding centers including Central Kentucky Riding for Hope at the Kentucky Horse Park.
The riders will compete in a variety of events including dressage, equitation, trails, and Western riding. Riders compete in English and Western classes at their own ability level. There are classes for beginner riders or those of lower skill levels such as: CS=walk/supported or BS=walk & trot/supported. There are also classes offered for the more skilled or accomplished rider: BI=Walk & Trot/Independent or A Class = Walk, Trot & Canter. The first class begins at 9am and awards will be given to riders throughout the day.
Founded on the belief that people with intellectual disabilities can, with proper instruction and encouragement, learn, enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, the Special Olympics has adapted as necessary to meet the needs of those with special mental and physical limitations.
The Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities by giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy. Each participant experiences in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families as well as other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially and spiritually; families are strengthened; and the community at large, both through participation and observation, is united with people with intellectual disabilities in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance.
Whether you know a competitor or just want to support these hard working athletes, come on out for the Special Olympics Kentucky State Equestrian Competition and enjoy the show! For more information, contact Camille Allen at (502) 695-8222 or visit www.soky.org.

The bizarre deaths of 21 polo ponies at last weekend's U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Fla., might have been caused by something in vitamin injections the horses received, the captain of the ponies' team has told reporters. Experts suspect that contamination or improper dosing of the cocktail are blame, but they say it's impossible to say just what killed the horses before the results of toxicology studies are released.
If you're just tuning in now, here is a recap of Sunday's events as told by the Argentine newspaper La Nacion: Venezuela's Lechuza Caracas team was getting ready to compete in the quarterfinals at the International Polo Club Palm Beach when spectators noticed a few of its ponies crumpling to the ground. As veterinarians rushed to care for them, other ponies on the team began collapsing. The animals "fell like domino pieces," a witness told the paper, and within a couple of hours, 21 of them were dead.
The captain of the team, Argentinian Juan Martin Nero, has since told La Nacion that all 21 horses that died had been injected with a supplement containing selenium, vitamin B-12, potassium, and magnesium. "There were five horses that were not given vitamin and [they are] well," Nero told the paper. But he did not indicate what, if any, substance might have contaminated the supplement.
This mix of vitamins and minerals is sold for use in animals under the brand name Biodyl in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the product for animals or humans.) But Duluth, Georgia-based Merial, the company that makes Biodyl, says it has nothing to do with the ponies' deaths. "The preparation that killed these horses is an illegally compounded copy of Biodyl," Merial spokesperson Steve Dickinson told ScientificAmerican.com.
According to the latest report by the Associated Press, a Florida veterinarian wrote a prescription for the 21 ponies for a Biodyl-like compound that was filled by Franck's Pharmacy in Ocala. Franck's is now cooperating with an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration and Florida state officials, according to the AP.
If the bootleg supplement is to blame, it could have been tainted with some lethal substance, says Frederick Oehme, a veterinary toxicologist at Kansas State University in Manhattan. It's highly unlikely vitamin B-12 or selenium by themselves killed the ponies. "B-12 doesn't cause death, even in an overdose," he says. And it takes a long time for dangerous levels of selenium to build up in the body, he notes.
"A potassium or magnesium overdose could have done this," says Pamela Wilkins, head of Equine Medicine and Surgery at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Veterinary Medicine. If the body is overloaded with potassium, nerve cells cannot fire properly and heart muscle cells lose their ability to keep the heart pumping regularly, causing overall weakness, and slowed heart rate, Wilkins explains; eventually the heart stops beating. A magnesium overdose could also cause fatal heart problems, muscle paralysis, and pulmonary edema (a buildup of fluid in the lungs that can eventually show up as froth in the nose), she adds. (The ponies did show signs of pulmonary edema, according to The Miami Herald.)
But until the toxicology study results are released, Oehme cautions, it is impossible to peg the cause of death.
Sarah Carey, a spokesperson for the University of Florida (UFL) College of Veterinary Medicine laboratories in Gainesville, where 15 of the horses were sent for autopsies, says that scientists have now completed most of the toxicology studies and turned them over to Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. She said she could not reveal the results because the case is still under investigation. She wouldn't say whether those investigations were criminal.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will not reveal any findings right now but may provide more details next week, says department spokesperson Terence McElroy.

There's -- a need to take this thing -- yeah I'm I'm all they need this.
You're down I I need this doubt stopped -- The take this scooter.
Picking things from kids is nice for made about the rest of you have to deal with the debt.
He's here right now sitting -- to -- on my Japanese -- -- so what's this we off our spending is robbing our children.
Generational theft and people are aides say I -- didn't have Medicare my whole life.
Congress get back what I do but we're get back three to four times will we -- -- in its unsustainable.
And then President Obama says this sequester.
Is like taking on meat cleaver to the budget but the sequester doesn't even touch Medicare and on the party does -- Its military and the discretionary is he could say it was -- take a paring -- a little bit 3%.
But it isn't even -- -- neck as he could just look at this slide here.
That this is what happens to spending.
This is what.
Very good given half.
Even with the the -- -- have the Red Line is without the Blue Line with there's hardly any difference -- you could say this is unfair you're not adjusting for inflation slowed next slide adjust for inflation.
It's still spending goes up with the sequester it it's a misnomer out you can't have -- -- costing.
Get nearly eighty send hiding from what they were gonna increase right so -- -- spending as you said -- one of them spending keeps going up.
Even would these.
Cops would just reducing the amount of increased announced and that's what we do it after inflation and adjusting for population growth that I believe you have a couple of questions -- is that what.
Is this a -- -- is -- -- and I thought -- we have a real or fake twisted that there's nothing we can cut from the government but.
Here's what governments spent so is this real prophetic.
Dollars for our.
Radio series of poetry composed by prisoners called the prison poetry workshop you're asking me is -- a real program or a -- program yes.

Are right doctor -- out -- you also have a new article that was just put up today on foxnews.com you know at the health care.
A situation has just been has been so such a hot topic so many people.
Are worried.
So many people of course that -- number one question is what does this mean for me.
The name of your -- the psychological toxicity.
Of obamacare.
Explain to less what people's heads are out with us.
Look Lauren this is gonna cost -- economically this is gonna cost -- in terms of health care because people are gonna lose their health care insurance when small businesses kicked him off the rules but that's not the biggest hole.
The biggest hole is the psychological one.
When the government tells you.
What to do with your -- After tax income I know the courts have called this -- -- but not alas this is a compulsion.
Eight penalty that you pay if you don't do something.
They tell you to do it -- tantalized his people.
Everybody knows every preteen.
Understands they keep saying I can't wait till I make my own money.
Why -- they say that because they want autonomy.
They want free choice they want liberty they want to be real people in charge of their own destinies.
That's the roots of commerce that's the roots of earning a living.
To the extent that this earmarks the earned income of American is as you must buy -- with it is stabilizes them.
It does what food stamps do in the numbers.
Crawford by the Obama administration does what entitlements do it does what -- do it suggests that people you're not adults.
Your children.
And the article makes this point gonna help us when we have to confront things like radical Islam.
And the Iranian nuclear threat.
And an economic crisis -- could topple Europe.
When we're all in -- vandalized by this particular administration.
Which trusts no one.
Other than this notion of east central authority figure and -- What doctor keep out -- -- what are people saying to you I'm sure that your phone rings off the hook all the time with a variety of different issues as well.
But but on this particular issue what are some of the questions that you -- getting.
Well I'll tell you exactly what people are saying and it and it -- it actually crosses the idol from gender men and women a young and old.
Democrat and Republican people are sort of shaking their head in some bewilderment saying.
This changes everything doesn't -- -- change everything.
Well and the answer is well yeah it does.
Because the money you thought was yours is indeed been new worse.
The government they know now seek people people understand it now better than they did before the Supreme Court ruling.
Literally the government can now say it's good for society.
If everybody moves to a hybrid vehicle.
Hence if you don't if you don't buy a hybrid vehicle.
We're gonna find me.
You can choose not to own a car you free choice but -- future that we take some money.
It makes people -- serves but worse than that it makes sense pre as adolescent it's sling -- them back.
Into a pre adolescent phase and that's what people are feeling.
You're feeling like oh my god I feel dis empowered suddenly well yeah you do because that's what really happened.
And in the range of emotion is it anger is it is it.
Big -- people being fearful.
You know.
I think Laura it would be better if most of what I was hearing was anger and fear.
I think what I'm hearing is -- bewilderment.
-- a sense that I can't believe what just happened.
This fundamentally transforms things but -- but what we need is for that to crystallize into.
Action therefore I will take my country back and be an adult.
-- look what this Obama guy has done.
He has doled out 99 weeks of unemployable -- -- he's become the first FaceBook president.
He has essentially contributed to a generation of twenty something Americans -- may be more concerned with how many false friends they have on FaceBook.
And whether the president is on enough fashion magazines and looks to cut a handsome figure.
On the world stage -- whether what he's doing is dis empowering them in terms of your soul which is what he's doing.
-- doctor -- tableau always a pleasure to have you want of course the two articles that we mentioned you can find.
On foxnews.com.

Lois Fidler is a busy woman.
The England Women's U17s Head Coach is the fourth English female to study for the UEFA Pro Licence qualification and is also part of a select group of coaches working towards the new FA Elite Coaches' Award.
Fidler attended St. George's Park this week for the second stage of the Pro Licence, undertaking practical coaching sessions as well as observation of fellow coaches.
'Management of self and others' is one of the core competencies of the course and a characteristic which Fidler believes is important to her own development.
She said: "A lot of it [the Pro Licence course] is how you manage yourself moving forwards to give yourself the best possible chance to do what you do well.
"The key messages are being able to make important decisions in the heat of battle, thinking clearly under pressure and not allowing negativity to zap your energy.
"So it's about self-management and being the best you can be."
Where the Pro Licence course carries a strong focus on an individual's off-field behaviour, The FA Elite Coaches' award is more practical in design.
Fidler explained: "We talk a lot at the moment about The Future Game, the evolving player and the evolving coach to meet those needs in the future.
"The Elite Coaches' Course is very much about challenging our current mindset, thinking outside of the box in terms of how we deliver, plan and evaluate sessions to grow as coaches to develop or meet the needs of the game moving forward."

Swans Island Blankets
Filed under: Decor
Swans Island started in the early '90s when a pair of lawyers, John and Carolyn Grace, decided to move to Maine, meet some sheep farmers and get weaving. What developed was a company that has produced hand-woven blankets significant enough to warrant a Smithsonian Blue Ribbon for Craft in 1996. Weavers work in an 18th century farmhouse making blankets for summer and winter. Recently, the group started weaving scarves, wraps, throws and pillows, too.
I'm a complete sucker for age-old craftmanship. Add the free-roaming sheep, rustic farmhouse and beyond-cozy blankets, and this company is every New Englander's dream.
The king-sized version of the winter blanket at right retails for $1,125. Everything Swans Island makes can be custom ordered and monogrammed in a hand-done cross stitch.

Myth of National Defense, The: Essays on the Theory and History of Security Production
Hans-Hermann Hoppe

ebook (.epub) | 1,398 KB | 5/13/2011 | ||

With eleven chapters by top libertarian scholars on all aspects of defense, this book edited by Hans-Hermann Hoppe represents an ambitious attempt to extend the idea of free enterprise to the provision of security services. It argues that "national defense" as provided by government is a myth not unlike the myth of socialism itself. Defense services are more viably privatized and replaced by the market provision of security.
From the introduction:
"Even aside from day-to-day security risks, the reality of terrorism and its resulting mayhem has demonstrated the inability of government to provide adequate security against attacks on person and property. The lesson of September 11 is indisputable: government had not only failed to act as a guardian of security and protection but had actually been the primary agent in creating insecurity and exposure to risk, and, moreover, did not achieve secure justice once the crime had been committed.
"However, this was not the lesson that was drawn from the affair. Instead, the political elite successfully exploited public fears to vastly increase government spending, central credit inflation, bureaucratic management, citizen surveillance, regulation of transportation, and generally wage an all out attack on liberty and property.
"Meanwhile, US foreign policy pursued in the aftermath became more aggressively interventionist, violent, and threatening (the US refused even to rule out the employment of nuclear weapons against enemy regimes) than it had been before, thereby increasing the number of recruits into the ranks of people who are willing to use extreme violence as a means of retribution.
"In the same way that government intervention in times of peace can generate perverse consequences in markets that do not tend toward clearing, in times of war, military intervention can thus have the effect of harming the prospects for peace and security and bringing about a permanent state of violence and political control. Truly, the political affairs of our time cry out for a complete rethinking of the issues of defense and security and the respective roles of government, the market, and society in providing them."
Auburn, Alabama: Mises Institute, 2004.

Entrepreneurs from around the world took the stage during this packed week of entrepreneurship events in Miami: Florida International University's Americas Venture Capital Conference (known as AVCC), HackDay, Wayra's Global DemoDay and Endeavor's International Selection Panel.
The events, all part of the first Innovate MIA week, also put the spotlight on Miami as it continues to try to develop into a technology hub for the Americas.
"While I like art, I absolutely love what is happening today... The time has come to become a tech hub in Miami," said Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez, who kicked off the venture capital conference on Thursday. He told the audience of 450 investors and entrepreneurs about the county's $1 million investment in the Launch Pad Tech Accelerator in downtown Miami.
"I have no doubt that this gathering today will produce new ideas and new business ventures that will put our community on a fast track to becoming a center for innovative, tech-driven entrepreneurship," Gimenez said.
Brad Feld, an early-stage investor and a founder of TechStars, cautioned that won't happen overnight. Building a startup community can take five, 10, even 15 years, and those leading the effort, who should be entrepreneurs themselves, need to take the long-term view, he told the audience via video. "You can create very powerful entrepreneurial ecosystems in any city... I've spent some time in Miami, I think you are off to a great start."
Throughout the two-day AVCC at the JW Brickell Marriott, as well as the Endeavor and Wayra events, entrepreneurs from around the world pitched their companies, hoping to persuade investors to part with some of their green.
And in some cases, the entrepreneurs could win money, too. During the venture capital conference, 29 companies —including eight from South Florida such as itMD, which connects doctors, patients and imaging facilities to facilitate easy access of records — competed for more than $50,000 in cash and prizes through short "elevator'' pitches. Each took questions from the judges, then demoed their products or services in the conference "Hot Zone," a room adjoining the ballroom. Some companies like oLyfe, a platform to organize what people share online, are hoping to raise funds for expansion into Latin America. Others like Ideame, a trilingual crowdfunding platform, were laser focused on pan-Latin American opportunities.
Winning the grand prize of $15,000 in cash and art was Trapezoid Digital Security of Miami, which provides hardware-based security solutions for enterprise and cloud environments. Fotopigeon of Tampa, a photo-sharing and printing service targeting the military and prison niches, scored two prizes.
The conference offered opportunities to hear formal presentations on current trends — among them the surge of start-ups in Brazil; the importance of mobile apps and overheated company valuations — and informal opportunities to connect with fellow entrepreneurs.
Speakers included Gaston Legorburu of SapientNitro, Albert Santalo of CareCloud and Juan Diego Calle of .Co Internet, all South Florida entrepreneurs. Jerry Haar, executive director of FIU's Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center, which produced the conference with a host of sponsors, said the organizers worked hard to make the conference relevant to both the local and Latin American audience, with panels on funding and recruiting for startups, for instance.

Everybody worries. Grown-ups do it and kids do it, too. But what should you do about it? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these 3 steps:
Sometimes, you will know exactly what you're worried about. Other times, you might not know exactly what's bugging you. Let's say you're worried about a teacher who seems mean. But maybe what's really bothering you is that you're having trouble with math. If you get some help with math, that teacher might seem just fine.
Some problems, like family problems, are big and have a lot of parts. That can make it tough to zero in what the problem is or to pick one part of the problem to try to solve. But being able to focus on your problem — or at least part of it — is the first step to taking action. If you're having trouble figuring out what worries you, skip to Step 3 and get some help from a parent or another person you trust.
There is almost always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it probably won't solve your problem. But switching to an action mode can help you feel more hopeful.
Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If that's your concern, ask yourself these questions:
If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the actions you could take — from writing the friend a note to inviting him or her over for a game of basketball. Should you apologize for whatever happened between the two of you? Once you have a list of possible actions, you can select the one you think is most likely to get your friendship back on track.
But what if you can't think of anything to do to make your particular problem better? Then it's time to jump to Step 3 (it's the next step anyway) and ask someone for help.
Worrying can make you feel lonely. When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. Sometimes people say, "Why should I bother? He/she can't do anything about it." But here are two reasons to give it a shot anyway:
Did you know worry is not all bad? If you weren't worried (at least a little) about that test, you might not study for it. And if you weren't worried about getting sunburned, you might not wear your sunscreen.
But some kids worry so much that it keeps them from doing the stuff they need and want to do. If that sounds like you, you know what to do by now: Turn to good old Step 3 and ask someone for help.

Switch quickly between Word's smart quotes and straight quotes
When I described how to replace Microsoft Word's smart quotes with straight quotes to keep the HTML versions of documents from breaking, several people objected, claiming that straight quotes make the docs more difficult to read. I agree completely, which is why I decided to tell you about the quickest way I know to convert from one quote style to the other. In just a few seconds you can optimize a document for the Web, or for readability in print or onscreen.

This chair is a steal at under $200. It looked gray on my screen, but I was pleased to find that it is more tan in person. It's really a pretty chair, and pretty comfortable, too. Very pleased with this purchase.
Like others mentioned the color is a bit different from the picture but I was hoping the color was closer to reviewer comments (oatmeal color---very neutral) and it was! whew! Was very easy to assemble. At first I thought the legs were missing but the bottom of the chair had a velcro cover (which I thought was neat -- guess I don't get out much) and they were in there. Didn't need any additional tools. Everything I needed to assemble was included. Would recommend twisting the screws into the holes before placing in the legs to do it as the threading wasn't very smooth. Nothing defective but just was smoother to do when the screw & washer was in the leg. Was worried about item being wobbly but it was nice and solid. It's not going to be the chair everyone fights over to sit in to watch a football game but it's an armless chair and serves a purpose in a small area. May buy another! Thanks Overstock!
Very impressed with the look of the chair, so much better than I expected. It is smaller scale than a typical lounge chair but I ordered it for my master bathroom and it's perfect for taking shoes off/on, etc. Very easy to assemble, just attach legs! Would definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed.
I purchased these for a dedicated meeting room in our home where we could meet with our photography clients and due to the room's size, smaller scale furniture was preferred The size of these chairs is perfect in that aspect, and they had the look I was going for. The price seemed reasonable compared to other chairs of a similar make and fabric, so I gave them a shot. Shipping was fast, they were well packaged, and leg assembly was easy. I definitely love the look and feel of the fabric. Upon first trying them out, I thought the chairs were pretty comfortable. But after sitting on them for about 40 minutes each through 3 meetings, I can feel the hard edge of the wood frame of the chair around the seat. I'll need to replace these in the near future with chairs of higher quality. These would be perfect for staging, or for rooms where an accent chair with little to no use is needed. But, even just for occasional use, I would not deem these appropriate for company to sit upon. Too bad, because otherwise they'd be a great value!
The chair was absolutely stunning. I put this chair in my guest bedroom and it is a huge hit with my guests. I've been asked where I purchased the chair. I wish that there would have been two available when I prchased the chair but there was only one left in stock. It is definately conversation piece for my guests when they stay in our guest bedroom.
This chair is the perfect accent to give my bedroom a high-end look. The tufting is beautiful and the legs are elegant. I had shopped around both in-stores and on-line and was coming across the same cheap arm-less chairs (almost bought one and planned on recovering it) but so lucky I came across this chair on overstock. I spray-painted the legs a metallic bronze and took them from being "granny-ish brown" to sexy! Disagree with customer who said color did not match the picture. If you zoom in to the Overstock image, what you see, is what you get, a great neutral oatmeal. This is definitely a great buy with great looks. Nothing else even came close to the price ans style.
This chair is very comfortable. Another reviewer mentioned you can feel the framing, you cannot. The color is oatmeal, but looks more Grey in the photo as mentioned in other reviews. The tufting is uniform, as is all of the upholstery. I am thrilled with this product!
I received my order very quickly, which was wonderful. Assembly was super easy! The look of the chair is awesome. This purchase was a complete steal! I could've easily paid $100 more in any local furniture store. I am totally pleased with this purchase! Thanks Overstock!
My first impression of this chair was that the fabric seemed cheap. Then I remembered what I paid for them. I didn't think that assembling the legs on the chair was that tricky but after I assembled them, I noticed that the legs are slightly askew. I'm not sure if that is my fault or the small child in China who probably handcrafted the legs. I think the chair is comfortable though. However, I would recommend spending a little more money and buying a better made chair with a richer fabric. I would have sent these back but I ordered four & I didn't want the hassle of having to return them.

Nafissatou Diallo's claim against DSK is "like multiple choice—pick a version"
This week's media blitz by the maid accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of rape has seriously jeopardized her own case, sources at the Manhattan district attorney's office tell the New York Post. In a move that many legal analysts described as risky, Nafissatou Diallo shared her rape allegations against the former International Monetary Fund chief with Newsweek and ABC News. "There's so many inconsistencies now it's incredible," said a source. "It's like multiple choice—pick a version." At issue is a conversation Diallo said she had with DSK during their encounter. She told Newsweek that when he emerged naked from the bathroom she said, "Oh, my God. I'm so sorry." And he responded, "You don't have to be sorry. You're beautiful" as he grabbed her breasts. The tell-all interview includes more dialogue between the two, but this conflicts with statements Diallo gave to a hospital counselor hours after the alleged attack in which she said he did not speak. Post sources say there are "many" other discrepancies but they were not mentioned in the article.
According to The New York Times, the decision by Diallo and her legal team to appear in print and on television signals that prosecutors may be giving up on the case. "Lawyers not involved in the case said it was virtually unheard of for someone alleging sexual assault in a highly publicized case to come forward — name, face, and all — to speak to the news media while prosecutors were still investigating," reports The Times. Raymond R. Castello, a defense lawyer and former deputy chief of the Manhattan district attorney's trial division, says, "My expectation is that she's now speaking to the press because she has an expectation that the prosecution is not going forward with her case."

Mr Strauss's lawyer said it best, that the American media circus is an attempt to "inflame" the public.
It seems to me that the false rape society has been saying the same this for years. - Jul 26, 2011, 9:17:00 AM
Maybe there will be a day, when these media outlets will have to close their doors because folks no longer buy their "inflammatory" positions.
There are already movements around that are keeping tabs on the most egregious media outlet offenders, and with the internet, i believe they are only getting stronger. - Jul 26, 2011, 9:20:00 AM
You Know what folks...Im going to start demanding the "new york post" instead of the "New york times".
- Jul 26, 2011, 10:19:00 AM
Is her team seeking to pressure the DA to prosecute and DSK to settle financially out of court? Are her 'handlers' planning with her to interest the public so that she can later write a book on her experience or be a paid speaker?
Either way, are we now entering an era when a male political candidate now can be side-slapped to not running or losing an election with a false accusation of rape?

"Raymond R. Castello, a defense lawyer and former deputy chief of the Manhattan district attorney's trial division, says, "My expectation is that she's now speaking to the press because she has an expectation that the prosecution is not going forward with her case.""
Sounds familiar?
It should. It much like what happened here in Colorado in the Kobe Bryant case. As the criminal case started to unravel (credibility issues with the accuser, and "problematic" multiple DNA hits), the accusers legal team turned their efforts towards the trial by press, leading up to what would have been a civil action, had Kobe not "folded" and paid her off to go away and shut up. - Jul 26, 2011, 11:10:00 AM
She's trying to create a mob lynching, so she can collect financial rewards.
The media cooperating in this lynching should be held accountable. - Jul 26, 2011, 11:30:00 AM
Actually, what she's doing makes perfect sense -- if you're a pathological liar who is on the verge of losing your only shot at superstardom.
Firstly, there is no case left to "jeopardize." The case is already deader than year-old dogshit and everybody but the media and the retarded guy who lives in the broom closet in the Manhatten Prosecutor's Office knows it.
Secondly, she is well aware that NO MATTER HOW MANY CRIMES SHE COMMITS, SHE WILL NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. No one has even asked the obvious question of when she will be charged for the illegal acts she has obviously committed!
Thus it is perfectly logical for her to try to cash in while she still can by using the strategy that has worked her entire worthless life: by continuing to lie, in spite of having already been revealed as a fraud.
The fact that she is even being given this platform from which to spew her filth proves that she has, in a sense, already won. - Jul 26, 2011, 11:33:00 AM
Or to be it another way, for the benefit of those who still can't fathom Diallo's behavior (and most of us who read this blog regularly already understand it from bitter experience):
If you could play a slot machine without sticking a coin in first, wouldn't you keep yanking that arm until the management threatened you with bodily harm if you wouldn't stop?
And if you then learned that the management was in a coma and couldn't stop you (because you had a vagina), wouldn't you pull on the arm with even greater zeal? - Jul 26, 2011, 12:23:00 PM

There is no such thing as a powerful man when it comes to false rape accusations.
Kobe Bryant, Al Gore, DSK, Joe Average -- we're all equal when it comes to being a helpless target. When have you ever heard of a man successfully suing over this shit? - Jul 26, 2011, 1:25:00 PM

Anonymous - "When have you ever heard of a man successfully suing over this shit? "
I'm not trying to be snarky here, because it is rare – but we did see one case of it recently: Falsely accused man awarded $852K
It proves that it can be done.
And Ben Roethlisberger has (thus far) successfully thwarted a False-Rape-extortion-by-civil-court attempt.
Perhaps the tide is turning a bit – at least for those with the money to defend themselves and/or file their own law suits. - Jul 26, 2011, 1:34:00 PM
Newsweek is "profiteering" from inflaming the public against an innocent man.
There has to be some liability here?? - Jul 26, 2011, 2:19:00 PM
Slwerner: sure, but how is DSK going to collect from her even if he wins? And by filing suit against her he would severely damage his own interests by dragging this out in the media (when he could be running for the French presidency).
It's like saying to a suicide bomber: "You made the mess, now clean it up!" The lyin' ho-bag has nothing to lose. - Jul 26, 2011, 4:53:00 PM

I will try to contact him.
I am sick of media outlets like newsweek et al just having a hayday with stuff like this.
They are "enabling" this crap by doing that. - Jul 26, 2011, 5:04:00 PM

Anonymous - "sure, but how is DSK going to collect from her even if he wins? And by filing suit against her he would severely damage his own interests by dragging this out in the media (when he could be running for the French presidency)."
I'm thinking ahead to the probable civil suit she will be filing (ala Kobe B), meaning he will have to either "fold" like Kobe, or fight like Roethlisberger. A counter-suit for damages and legal fees would be useful should she ever hope to profit by selling her story.
A number of people have already filed suit against Casey Anthony. She hadn't worked for some time before she killed her daughter, so unless she tries to profit from her story, they won't collect anything either. But, they are planning for the probable eventuality of her making money by selling her story.
DSK doesn't need the money even if he could collect. The point is to not let her profit - especially since that would only encourage others. - Jul 26, 2011, 5:14:00 PM
Well the good news is that she changes her story more frequently than her underwear and it's all on display for the whole world to see. Another nail in the coffin of the "no woman would ever lie" lie.

Except I read it a little differently than she intended:

Lainie Kazan Teaches Students the Art of Acting for Television and Film
Actress Returned to Hofstra as a Visiting Scholar
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – Entertainer Lainie Kazan, a Hofstra alum whose acting credits include the popular movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding " taught a summer course, Acting for Television and Film, as part of Hofstra University's visiting scholar program.
See video of Kazan talking about the program
Ms. Kazan, who got her start as an understudy for Barbra Streisand in the Broadway musical "Funny Girl," taught at Hofstra until Thursday, June 21, 2007.Ms. Kazan taught the course with Dr. Nancy Kaplan, chair of the Audio/Video/Film department, and Professor Benjamin Moore of the Drama Department.

The course was a full student participation course that also included rehearsal and production calls beyond class hours, scene studies and other appropriate projects with written critical evaluations by the instructors. "We are delighted that Lainie came back to Hofstra to work with our students," said Dr. Kaplan. "She is the genuine article, a master at her craft, and we all had a blast working with her."
Ms. Kazan received critical acclaim for her role in the blockbuster comedy "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," which has grossed more than $600 million worldwide and won the People's Choice Award. She reprised that role in CBS television series, "My Big Fat Greek Life." She has also received an Emmy Award nomination for "St. Elsewhere" and a Cable ACE Award nomination for "The Paper Chase."

MasterCraft X-Star
Related Articles
Today's youthful, adrenaline-fueled wakeboard culture proclaims its rebel lifestyle with tribal tattoos, flat-bill caps and seemingly impossible jumps and tricks. It has also fostered waves of tow-boat innovation.
The latest example is the 2013 MasterCraft X-Star. In the quest for the perfect wake, MasterCraft lengthened the running surface from 21½ feet on the previous X-Star to 24 feet on the 2013 version. Water ballast, pumped in and out to adjust wake shape and size, was increased to 1,400 pounds from 1,000 in the ex-X-Star. Designers also incorporated a pickle-fork design into the bow with a boarding ladder between the two tines.
MasterCraft points to a number of wakeboarding "firsts" behind this model in its initial summer (2012) in competition use, new tricks that sound like items on a sushi menu: double Indy half-cab roll, Moby Dick 9, KGB-7 and crow-9.
A V-drive transfers power to the water. Our test boat was equipped with a 522 hp Ilmor 7.4L V-8 — the most powerful engine available for the X-Star. Top speed seemed lackluster — just 43.6 mph — but with the X-Star, you're not looking for velocity, just tasty waves. The Ilmor 7.4 was impressive out of the hole, jumping on plane in four seconds.

Hi, does anyone know of a good program for drawing directed weighted graphs?
Try Sage - it's open source and can draw weighted directed graphs. For example:

Try Graphviz - it's open source and quite flexible as far as usage is concerned. It's good at automatic layouts etc, where for example Maple would make a mess of things. | ||||
Check out PGF/tikZ, which is freely available, and interacts extremely well with TeX and LaTeX. You can find examples here, examples of graphs here, and a nice manual here. A nice feature of the examples web page is that you can click on each example to get access to the code, which you can then copy-and-paste into your own LaTeX file, and then modify for your own purposes. | ||||
