Winner of the Francis Parkman PrizeIn this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.

I ordered late December and the product was delivered early January. It was HUGE. I was very pleased with the entire picture. It was a huge hit with my guests.
Do you have questions about this product?(earn points for answers!)
get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:What is the thickness of the vinyl on this?
1 answer
A:The vinyl is the same thickness as our banners (Printed on durable 10 oz white vinyl).
Q:could you use this as a backdrop?
1 answer
A:This is used as a background. You need to choose the type of background material - cardboard, vinyl or paper. The paper photo mural may be harder to store without wrinkling it. The vinyl background can roll up and the photo real board would need to be stored flat.
Q:is the Vinly Mural Vegas Backdrop more durable than the Paper mural? this is something I wish to use over and over.
1 answer
A:Yes the vinyl is more durable and can be used over and over.
Q:Is the Mural 57 x125 in inches or feet?
1 answer
A:The size is listed in inches.
Q:I was wondering if this product would be something to use as a back drop. I'm throwing a Casino theme party and thought guests could take pictures in front of this photo. I originally wanted to use the Las Vegas Photo Mural, but the place I'm having the party doesnt have the space for something that big. Need something a little smaller! Thoughts??
1 answer
A:This Night in Vegas is used as a backdrop. The smallest one is 46 x 88 which is less than 4 feet high x 7 1/4 feet wide and will provide a great sized background.
1 answer
A:You choose from the available sizes listed. The dimensions for height and width are listed.

Walls and Vaults
A Natural Science of Morals (Virtue Ethics According to David Hume)
Widely regarded as one of the most important philosophers in Western thinking, David Hume contributed significant works that profoundly influenced the study of ethics and morality. Now, in Walls and Vaults, internationally renowned author Jordan Howard Sobel blends Hume's moral theory with his own groundbreaking observations and employs mathematical thought to explore timeless questions about the grounds of morality, the organization of moral principles, and the rationale for being moral.
Blending a modern treatment with a classical perspective, this book presents an illuminating account of Hume's philosophy and the contemporary problems that exist in the metaphysics, language, and logic of morals. Two of Hume's eminent works, A Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals, are used as the cornerstone for the discussion of major topics in the study of morality such as virtue theory, cooperation and coordination, error theory, the prisoner's dilemma, and 'Glaucon's Problem', "Why be moral? Why in particular be just?" Concepts from game theory, logic of conditionals, and decision-making are used to illuminate Hume's ideas. The Bayesian methodology of Hume's science of moral ethics is also underscored throughout the text. Detailed appendices located at the end of selected chapters include technical elaborations, and an extensive bibliography directs readers to additional literature on Hume's works.
Extensively class-tested and complete with thought-provoking detail, Walls and Vaults is ideal as a supplementary text in philosophy, economics, law, and political science courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for scholars specializing in ethics, game theory, and the works of David Hume.less

Electro Rent Named A 2012 Company Of The Year By Frost & Sullivan
Electro Rent Corporation (NASDAQ:ELRC) announced today that it was honored as a Frost & Sullivan 2012 Company of the Year in recognition of the company's achievements in the North American rental, used and new test equipment market. The award was presented at the Frost & Sullivan North American Excellence in Best Practices Awards Banquet yesterday evening at the Loews Coronado Bay hotel in San Diego.
According to Frost & Sullivan, Electro Rent received the honor because of its substantial growth in the United States and admirable progress in Canada, despite challenging market conditions across North America. In bestowing the award, Frost & Sullivan called out the strength in Electro Rent's rental business and strategy, noting the company's superior product availability and historically high equipment utilization rates, even as its equipment pool has grown significantly.
"The strong customer focus on return on invested capital that made renting a more natural alternative for customers, was an opportunity that Electro Rent leveraged to the maximum," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Director Jessy Cavazos. "The company's growth over the past two years is the result of significant risk-taking, both in investing toward its rental inventory and taking on the responsibility to sell new test equipment."
In addition to achievements in the rental market, Frost & Sullivan said that Electro Rent has been very successful in selling new equipment, driven in part by the company's role as the sole Authorized Technology Partner for Agilent Technologies in North America, through which Electro Rent is responsible for selling Agilent's product line to small- and medium-sized accounts in the United States and Canada."Over the last several years, we have considerably strengthened our marketplace position by offering a wide array of equipment acquisition alternatives to customers around the world," said Daniel Greenberg, CEO of Electro Rent. "As we continuously enhance and diversify our product and service offerings, we will be even better equipped to meet customers' requirements through what we consider to be the industry's most robust equipment inventory and most experienced and talented sales and support team."

Hill-Rom Holdings Management Presents At Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. 37th Annual Health Care Conference (Transcript)
The second diversification comes across our business model. 70% of our business comes through our capital sales, sale of software, and services and about 30% from rental. And to be clear, rental is not a product that is a lease versus buy decision. It is actually use of our products for episodic events or specialized products, where the care giver makes a business decision to lease that product as opposed to purchasing it.
We also have diversification by geography, and 75% of our business is in North America, about 17% in Europe, and 8% in the rest of the world. And as I mentioned a minute ago, and we will go into a little more detail, the Volker acquisition will enhance our presence internationally, and especially in Europe.
You are all familiar with the challenges faced by the healthcare industry, and certainly we are faced with those as well. Customers are looking for improved outcomes, they are looking for reduced operating costs, and fortunately we are positioned to help them with those challenges. As I like to say, we're with the grains. So, as opposed to adding to their challenges, our products, the orthopedic frames and services, our lifts, and our connectivity tools, we can impact both.
If you look at our products, they help to contribute to a reduction in patient falls, a reduction in the frequency and severity of skin pressure ulcers, and also a reduction inVentilator acquired pneumonia. They also help with the mobility and assist with the mobility of a patient, which helps to reduce injuries to care givers, both nurses and other staff.

1. Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes in their skins until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into large dice.
2. Combine the tofu, tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon of the curry powder in a stir-fry pan or wide skillet. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
3. Add the diced sweet potato and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the arugula, cover, and cook very briefly, just until it wilts slightly. Taste and season with more curry if desired. Season with salt and serve.

Ephemeral snaps and messages help the technology take on the form of a conversation Read more
There is something peculiarly impressive about the video below of Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, talking in Mandarin to students at Tsinghua University in Beijing. If nothing else, it shows a dedication to the country's customs that very few foreign business leaders can match.
Mr Zuckerberg clearly has business motives for making the effort, in addition to his personal connections – Priscilla Chan, his wife, comes from a Chinese family and her mother speaks mostly Mandarin. Facebook is blocked in mainland China, along with other US internet companies, and wants restrictions to be loosened. Read more
Russian internet group Mail.ru has paid $1.47bn to acquire the 48 per cent of social media website VKontakte that it does not already own, ending a battle for ownership of Russia's equivalent to Facebook. Read more
Buried under the avalanche of Apple announcements this week was the one that got the mobile operators pretty excited: an innovation that lets people use a WiFi connection rather than mobile signal to make calls.
On the face of it – like much of Apple's news – it seems an old idea, with various services already on offer that allow people to make calls using WiFi. Three, the smallest UK mobile group, launched a service called InTouch this summer, while Telefonica's O2 has offered TuGo for some time.
But, again like many of the advances unveiled this week, it is just being done better by the Cupertino-based technology group. Read more
Big companies don't usually like people messing with their logos. Whether it's Apple sending cease-and-desist letters to supermarkets and cafes over their fruity icons, or itself being sued by the Beatles' Apple Records, brands are fiercely protective of their marques.
Airbnb, despite being a $10bn company these days, is taking a rather different approach. As part of its rebrand unveiled on Wednesday, it is encouraging its customers to play with its new A-shaped icon and make it their own: tweak it, scribble it, put it on mugs and t-shirts. Read more
Two experiments by Snapchat this week point the way towards the photo-sharing app's first sources of income, almost nine months after it turned down Facebook's $3bn acquisition offer. Read more
Facebook has created a new "missed call" product for advertisers in India, marking the first time that the social network has designed a special ad format for a single country.
When a mobile phone user clicks on one of the ads, it calls the advertiser and immediately hangs up. The advertiser returns the call with pre-recorded entertainment content and a marketing message – enabling the consumer to avoid paying data charges.
Facebook's creation of a special ad product in India, where the company has more than 100m users, is part of a broader push to develop customised solutions across emerging markets. Read more
Smart watches, TVs and cars featured prominently on Wednesday as Google laid out its plans for pushing its Android smartphone software into new fields. At its annual I/O developer event in San Francisco, "wearables" had pride of place, with news that the first smartwatches based on Android Wear are now on sale – before Apple unveils its much-anticipated iWatch. With Android TV and Android Auto, on the other hand, Google was playing catch up with Apple. The event pointed to how the battle for the next big tech markets beyond the smartphone will be fought. Richard Waters and Tim Bradshaw were at the Moscone Center for this round.
One of the dominant mantras in technology design these days is simplicity. From Apple's Sir Jonathan Ive and his minimalist overhaul of iOS to the unbundling of Facebook's "big blue app" into its smaller, faster components, smartphones are sweeping software to be ever simpler and sleeker.
For many people, most technology is still too complicated but those apps that do simplify tend to succeed. WhatsApp Messenger offers little more than basic text messaging, with none of the stickers or gimmicks of rival chat apps, and has amassed 500m users. Snapchat took out text altogether to allow people to communicate with just a photograph and three taps of the screen. Read more

China's premier job-hunting site got an impressive raise in its first day as a public company in the US, as its stock closed up 8.5 per cent on their debut day of trading.
Zhaopin, whose name means "recruit," is a LinkedIn-like site for professional networking and job seeking. Its shares closed at $14.65. It had priced its offering of 5.6m American depositary shares at $13.50 each – the middle of an indicated range of $12.50 to $14.50. That means it raised a total of about $76m, excluding an over allotment option. Read more

Bishop of Sirmium, Pannonia (modern Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia). Arrested and tortured in the persecutions of Diocletian, he refused to sacrifice to pagan gods. Ordered drowned for his faith, he objected that as a Christian he should be allowed to bravely face his tormentors and executioners; with God on his side he should be treated as courageous and honourable. Martyred. His Acta has survived to today.

Starbucks' Shares Too Expensive Despite Solid Quarter
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's no denying that Starbucks (SBUX) is an excellent company.
The coffee giant, which has also become a cultural phenomenon, has built itself into one of the top three quick service restaurants not only in the U.S. but across the globe. What's scary about this company is that, despite its successful track record, I don't believe that Starbucks has reached its full potential.
Like McDonald's (MCD), Starbucks has demonstrated a remarkable ability to innovate, which we don't typically expect from a restaurant operation. Unlike McDonald's, though, I can't say that Starbucks's stock is on the value menu -- not at a price-to-earnings ratio of 37, which is more than twice that of McDonald's P/E of 18.
As of this writing the stock is up more than 7%, reaching a high of $73.52. Investors are rewarding the company for yet another solid earnings result, which included a 25% jump third-quarter profits. So, I don't want to overstate the importance of value here. Nor do I want to put too much emphasis on the P/E ratios, especially when Starbucks is performing so well.But with Starbucks now priced for perfection, pressure is on managements to keep the jolt going. That's no easy task.

I can't understand why you seem to be having spring/summer before us when you are further north. The Gulf Stream must come closer or maybe you are more sheltered. I appreciate and share your comments about being an economic terrorist – we are too. The main thing I want to ask is advice re birch. We planted some baby birch about 5/6 years ago. One is about a foot high, one two foot high and one about four foot!!! They are SO slow? Any ideas why? I haven't really done anything to look after them figuring that Nature would do it. How can i improve the lives of my trees? Thanks in advance for any wisdom – Terri

First of all, Terri, my gardens are now very sheltered and that allows the warming to take hold earlier. We have had good weather here in the NW, so that will play it's part also.
As for the Birch trees…my advice is always:plant them small, do not stake them and visit them often! By visiting them every day, if you can, you will form a bond with them that will encourage you to help them get established; feeding them, mulching the earth around them, bringing them handfuls of grass clippings to mulch and feed them, maybe some rotted manure…for they are as much a part of the Earth as we are…and touching them, for we do not yet know just how energy works, but it is there, as radio waves are in the air. We cannot see them but we know the results…does a baby thrive on food and warmth alone?

A great bit of foraging there! I'm partical to a bit of skip diving too :)

I spent the morning yesterday planting seed in my polytunnel, it is still so cold and wet here. Your garden looks stunning, I hope mine greens up like yours. My roses are just sticks at the moment although my silver birch seem to be doing quite well. Love your video's thanks for sharing.

Sunday's 2011 Grammy Awards telecast is sure to be noteworthy — everyone from Lady Gaga to Gwyneth Paltrow seems to be on the bill to perform — but as stoked as we are to see whether Cee Lo sticks to the censored version of his song or lets the FCC go ballistic, we're most excited to see who wins what.
This week we'll be pitching our best guesses for which act will nab each category in the Big Four—Best New Artist, and Album, Song and Record of the Year. But today, we present to you Idolator's picks for all the major pop categories. Jump below to see if you agree with us, and let us know if you can figure out why B.o.B's collab with rap superstar Eminem, "Airplanes II", is up for Best Pop Collaboration, while his similarly-styled hit "Nothin' On You" with pop maestro Bruno Mars is nominated in the rap categories.
"King of Anything" – Sara Bareilles
"Halo (Live)" – Beyoncé
"Chasing Pirates" – Norah Jones
"Bad Romance" – Lady Gaga
"Teenage Dream" – Katy Perry
WILL WIN: It's a toss-up between Katy Perry and Lady Gaga — both have LPs in the running for Album Of The Year — but Gaga's got the edge.
SHOULD WIN: We're astonished neither Katy or Gaga's songs were nominated for Song or Record of the Year. But between these two teacks, "Bad Romance" is just plain epic. (Not to mention, fans have been ra-ra-ooh-la-la-ing since November 2009, and the song has yet to show its age.)
"Haven't Met You Yet" – Michael Bublé
"This Is It" – Michael Jackson
"Whataya Want From Me" – Adam Lambert
"Just The Way You Are" – Bruno Mars
"Half Of My Heart" – John Mayer
WILL WIN: It depends. Do the Grammys want to throw one last award to Michael Jackson? Or do they want to bestow as many awards as possible to Bruno Mars? It's a showdown between the King of Pop and pop's newest duke for this one.
SHOULD WIN: Adam Lambert can out sing every (living) person in this category, and his Pink-written tune showed he's got more to offer than glittery codpieces and loud money notes. The American Idol alum has got some serious emotional depth.
"Airplanes II" – B.o.B, Eminem & Hayley Williams
"Imagine" – Herbie Hancock, Pink, India.Arie, Seal, Konono No. 1, Jeff Beck & Oumou Sangare
"If It Wasn't For Bad" – Elton John & Leon Russell
"Telephone" – Lady Gaga & Beyoncé
"California Gurls" – Katy Perry & Snoop Dogg
WILL WIN: A win for "Airplanes II" provides yet another opportunity to award Eminem, as well as simultaneously honor B.o.B, who was shut out of the Best New Artist category.
SHOULD WIN: "Telephone" still has us running to the dancefloor. Plus, we've heard the demo version that included no Beyoncé verse — and it's nowhere near as good.
"Don't Stop Believin' (Regionals Version)" – Glee Cast
"Misery" – Maroon 5
"The Only Exception" – Paramore
"Babyfather" – Sade
"Hey, Soul Sister (Live)" – Train
WILL WIN: Train's track was everywhere this year, from Glee to Spanish college campuses.
SHOULD WIN: Paramore's "The Only Exception" is not only the best song of the bunch, but we're too curious to see how the band will accept their Grammy in the wake of their recent split with two members. Shout outs to Zac and Josh Farro, or zipped lips?
My World 2.0 – Justin Bieber
I Dreamed A Dream – Susan Boyle
The Fame Monster – Lady Gaga
Battles Studies – John Mayer
Teenage Dream – Katy Perry
WILL WIN: Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster. Last year Gaga made out with the awards in the Dance categories (no—not literally, sicko!), and if Grammy feels its too lofty to hand her an award for Album Of The Year this time around, Best Pop Vocal Album could well be the consolation prize.
SHOULD WIN: Gaga. She busted her ass touring that record, crafting iconic videos for the singles and making memorable TV appearances. And she entertained us every step of the way.
"Rocket" – Goldfrapp
"In For The Kill" – La Roux
"Dance In The Dark" – Lady Gaga
"Only Girl (In The World)" – Rihanna
"Dancing On My Own" – Robyn
WILL WIN: Rihanna's "Only Girl" was a bona fide smash, topping the charts around the globe and giving the Barbadian songstress a proper out-of-the-gate smash to kick the Loud campaign off with.
SHOULD WIN: Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" got practically no radio love last year, which, let's face it—is a deplorable crime. This would be an amazing way to validate the Swede singer's talent for catchy hooks and smart pop lyrics, and right the wrongs in the mainstream music world for overlooking her.
These Hopeful Machines – BT
Further – The Chemical Brothers
Head First – Goldfrapp
Black Light – Groove Armada
La Roux – La Roux
WILL WIN: La Roux has the advantage of currently having the highest profile in this category, thanks to the duo's breakout U.S. hit "Bulletproof." (Side note: we're nearly at two years since their debut LP was released overseas. Some new music, please!)
SHOULD WIN: Goldfrapp's Head First. It sure didn't land on our 10 Out Of '10: Idolator's Favorite Albums Of The Year list because we disliked it.

Blazers forward Thomas Robinson found a baby rattlesnake near his locker prior to the game two loss against the San Antonio Spurs. Mo Williams, who admitted he and his teammates were "scared as hell," uploaded a photo of the rattlesnake on Instagram:
Coach Stotts, who did not see the snake himself, wasn't too pleased with the situation.
"Well, it's bizarre to have a venomous snake in your locker room," Stotts said. "I don't know if it's ever happened before. That sounds like an ABA story."
Whether the rattlesnake was intentionally placed in the visiting teams locker room or not is unknown. However, the Spurs do have a history of living creatures visiting the AT&T Center. In case you missed it, here is a throwback of Manu Ginobili demolishing a bat during a game against the Sacramento Kings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iloN1RPs4n0

Position Of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi President-Elect Of The National Council Of Resistance Of Iran On Inauguration Of Hassan Rowhani
PARIS, August 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Talking about a moderate president in the religious fascism ruling Iran, where the power and all key institutions are controlled by the Supreme Leader, is nothing but deception.
This regime is the most serious threat to peace and security for all countries of the region.
This regime has brought nothing but suppression and killing for the Iranian people and terrorism, crisis and warmongering for the region.The mullahs' regime is now embarked on obtaining nuclear bomb at any price. For the past three decades, Rowhani has been an insider and key figure in the regime's military, security and Intelligence system. He was Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council for sixteen years. He was also a member of the Supreme Defense Council for many years. He has acknowledged to have actively participated in the crackdown of the student uprising in the summer of 1999. As the regime's lead negotiator on nuclear issue in the past decade, he explicitly prides himself to have duped world community on the regime's efforts to obtain nuclear bomb. The Iranian regime will try once again to deceive the international community under the pretext of a new president and buy more time for its dangerous projects such as obtaining nuclear bomb, saving the Syrian dictator and imposing its absolute hegemony in Iraq. While the regime through Rowhani pretends to be interested in negotiation with the international community, at the same time it has accelerated its drive to produce nuclear bomb, and dispatching forces and shipping Arms to Syria through Iraq. Expecting religious dictatorship to become moderate is a mirage that the mullahs' regime has misled the world community with it for the past 30 years.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- General Electric (GE) and Microsoft (MSFT) were among four companies UBS added this week to its "Global Top 40 Stock List," though the reason appears to have had more to do with internal UBS issues than the stocks involved.
While an April 23 report prominently highlights UBS's reasons for being bullish on GE and Microsoft, along with U.K.-based utility National Grid (NGG) and China Coal Energy, it refers readers to page three to find out why it has jettisoned four other stocks from the valuable list, including Google (GOOG) EMC Corp. (EMC) and Sinopec (SNP).
|UBS shifted 3 of its top 40 global stock picks due to internal issues.
It turns out that EMC and Google got the boot through no fault of their own, but because the analysts covering those stocks are no longer at UBS. Indeed, Dow Jones reported Tuesday that Internet analyst Brian Pitz (the lead on Google) left the Swiss bank to join Jefferies Group (JEF), along with colleague Brian Fitzgerald. And last week, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday reported that Maynard Um, who covered EMC at UBS, has joined Wells Fargo (WFC).
As for Sinopec, UBS says it is now restricted from covering that stock. Only Japanese clothing merchant Fast Retailing got ejected from the top 40 list for a reason investors might care about: following a 45% run over the past year, the shares trade at 24 times consensus 2012 earnings projections.UBS spokespeople did not immediately respond to an email message seeking comment. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

The T-shirts and banners. The cheers and jubilation. The phones held aloft by Chicagoans trying to snap a picture of their city's newest celebrities aboard a bright red trolley.
The endless, ecstatic fans who painted the town yellow from 105th Street all the way to Millennium Park — they all caught the Jackie Robinson West Little League baseball team off guard, the team admitted Wednesday.
In fact, the 10,000 adoring fans who greeted them at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion nearly rendered Coach Darold Butler speechless.
But pitcher Marquis Jackson later found the words when asked why he and his teammates had become such a phenomenon after winning the Little League World Series United States Championship.
"I think because we're African-American boys from the South Side," he said.
"The South Side is not just about bad things," he said. "Something big can come from the South Side of Chicago. Period."
Thousands of people clearly agreed, and they showed their love Wednesday for the Little League national champs whose unexpected success counterbalanced grim headlines highlighting the South Side's reputation for crime and violence.
Some big names in baseball heaped praise on the team for their poise.
Kenny Williams, executive of the South Side's other baseball team, thanked Jackie Robinson West for giving Chicago a ball club to cheer for. The White Sox exec called for the city to draw inspiration from their victories and sportsmanship.
Longtime White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson dubbed Jackie Robinson West "America's team."
And Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said his players spent a recent rain delay huddled around a clubhouse TV.
"We got a rain delay right during your [U.S.] championship game," Epstein told the boys, "and our entire team was gathered around a TV set, hanging on every single pitch."
Hundreds of others who did the same thing during Jackie Robinson West's thrilling run filled the Pritzker Pavilion on Wednesday long before the players finished their victory parade. The fans killed time dancing in the stands and waving signs as a DJ bumped early '90s hip-hop.
"They're role models for children," said George Daniels, a longtime Chicagoan who said he grew up in New York and saw the team's namesake play at Ebbets Field. "To see the dignity that these young men show on the playing field — the sportsmanship, the coaching, the parents — that's how you get it done."
Gesturing to the crowd, Daniels said, "Look at these babies of all races and nationalities — everybody. This is Chicago."
He added: "Think about it: They did it before the Cubs."
Cynthia Slater, of the Bronzeville neighborhood, brought her grade school-age son Melvin to the rally in Millennium Park. She said the team's accomplishments rank right up there with the election of Harold Washington as the city's first, and only, black mayor.
That was in 1983 — the last year Jackie Robinson West went to the Little League World Series.
"When I was watching the game I didn't really realize how big this was," Slater said. "Just watching their mannerisms and how they handled themselves with their sportsmanship, they are going to write their own ticket if they stay on the right path."
South of the Loop, fans lined up early to catch a glimpse of the team's parade, which included a stop at U.S. Cellular Field to pick up the White Sox's 2005 World Series trophy.
Ora Washington, 84, held a sign at 95th and Halsted made by her daughter, Naomi Yates. It spoke to the hope the team inspired in a community that has seen too much violence:
"Hey Mr. Gunman!!! Look what I can be!! If you put the guns down & don't shoot me!! Let me live then you will see a national champion!! Lives in me!!"
Nearby, Laverna Dungey said she has been following the team for a year.
"I am so proud of them," she said. "They deserve this."
The party truly began Wednesday at Jackie Robinson Park, though. That's where a sea of yellow T-shirts — and gushing politicians — greeted Chicago's new heroes before they set off on their journey downtown.
Audrey Edwards-Chalupa said it was all "absolutely beautiful."
"I love it when people get together and are happy about something," she said. "All of us, not just one color or one race. I love it!"
But Edwards-Chalupa also proved that, even when it comes to Chicago's championship baseball team, there's always time to talk about next year.
Or even the year after that.
"I've got a grandson — he's three," Edwards-Chalupa said. "He has a great swing.
"I'm going to put him on the team."

The first in a series of clinical trials designed to build on the promise of an HIV vaccine that showed modest protection when tested in Thailand has passed a key hurdle, according to a new study. It paves the way for larger HIV vaccine trials to move forward in South Africa.
The trial found that the so-called Thai vaccine induced comparable immune responses when tested in South Africa as it had in the original trial. This early phase of testing was designed to see how a different population's immune system would respond, not—yet—whether the vaccine would protect against HIV.
Antibodies that are able to adhere to the outer shell of HIV can inactivate the virus, and potentially stop infection before it starts. However, HIV is one of the most changeable viruses discovered to date, and the strains in circulation vary widely. An ideal vaccine against HIV would produce antibodies that could inactivate all HIV strains, but the reality is that antibodies against one strain usually don't work against others. Read more >

Wedding Crashers (2005)

Critics Consensus: Wedding Crashers is both raunchy and sweet, and features top-notch comic performances from Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Movie Info
Two guys find out the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends who work for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has given them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing weddings reception, where they load up on free food and booze and try their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling head over heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very hot water. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi … More

Critic Reviews for Wedding Crashers
All Critics (182) | Top Critics (46) | Fresh (137) | Rotten (45) | DVD (35)
Sadly, in spite of its cast and seemingly can't-miss premise, Wedding Crashers is at its best a succession of mild chuckles.
Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times.
The most exhilarating entertainment to emerge this year from the failed, forlorn factory town of Hollywood, largely because of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the best high-low comedy team since the hey-hey days of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
The Frat Pack goes from strength to strength in a robust romp that's only marred by the director's apparent inability to say "Cut!"
A bawdy summer comedy for adults and mature teens, this movie features rapid-fire dialogue and sincere affection between best-friend leads and strong chemistry between the actors who portray them.
What should've been an absolutely raucous and no-holds-barred lusty farce is nothing but lame-ass, safe, predictable, lowest common denominator, no-laffs garbage
With great acting, hilarious gags, and great writing, it actually lives up to the hype.
Vince Vaughn commits rampant acts of comic zeal while the script around him crumbles in a movie that loses its thrust like a cat caught in traffic.
The two actors make a good contrasting team and bring an energy to the story that many romantic comedies lack.
The likes of the sneakily subversive Wilson and Vaughn deserve better... but this is darn close to a perfect showcase for what they can do, and how much better they do it together.
Guys will have a few laughs but this certainly won't have the rewatch value of the likes of Old School or the Pie movies.
Unless you check your political correctness at the box office, expect to be offended.
...suffers from a third act that's painfully overlong and needlessly dramatic.
The film's best element is the inspired casting of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson; their easy repartee helps to grease over the film's shortcomings.
This is a major blast of fast-talking, loopily plotted, politically incorrect film fun.
At this point, Wilson has his laconic surfer-dude persona down pat, so it's Vaughn who really surprises as the hilariously spastic side of the partnership.
There is a considerable fun factor in the movie with its wedding party atmosphere, lively music, dancing and Vince Vaughn's energetic performance.
Of the two stars, Vaughn definitely gets the funnier lines, reducing Wilson almost to the role of straight man. Isla Fisher though, manages to steal every scene that she's in, away from both of them.

Plumbing new depths in vulgarity and tastelessness, "Wedding Crashers" is a tiresome compilation of recent American guy-girl movie clich�s. The acting is poor and the script worse, making the cinema seat harder as each long minute goes by. Of course the audience lapped it all up, guffawing at each sophomoric gag. How depressing to see that this awful movie is #1 at the box office. Good cinematography doesn't rescue it. We squirm seeing Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour repeatedly embarrassing themselves. We yawn at Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson lurching from unbelievable "I love ya Buddy" male bonding to predatory joint hunting of generic society chicks. Compared with the finer acting and script of now-running "Must Love Dogs", the winner of the toilet humor, bad language, degrade women and insult gays genre is undoubtedly "Wedding Crashers". Insatiable public appetite for this rubbish will ensure that we soon might see even worse movies, if that is possible. 2 1/2 stars 8-14-07More

|This article possibly contains original research. (December 2013)
|American Staffordshire Terrier female
|Country of origin
|United States
|Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
The American Staffordshire terrier also known as Amstaff is a medium-sized, short-coated American dog breed. In the early part of the twentieth century the breed gained social stature and was accepted by the American Kennel Club as the American Staffordshire Terrier in 1936.[2] The name was changed to reflect difference from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England.
Despite its name, the Staffordshire Terrier was first bred in the nineteenth century in Birmingham, West Midlands, rather than in the English county of Staffordshire where it was then later bred. The early ancestors of this breed came from England, where until the first part of the 19th century, the Bulldog was bred in England. Bulldogs pictured as late as 1870 resemble contemporary American Staffordshire Terriers to a greater degree than present-day Bulldogs. Some writers contend it was the White English Terrier, Fox Terrier, or the Black and Tan Terrier that was crossed with the Bulldog to develop the Staffordshire Terrier; all three breeds shared many traits, the greatest differences being in color, and spirit. The cross of Bulldog and Terrier was called by several names, including Bull-and-Terrier Dog, Pit Bull, or Half and Half.[3] Later, it assumed the name of Staffordshire Bull Terrier in England. These dogs began to find their way into America as early as 1870.
In 1936, Amstaffs were accepted for registration in the American Kennel Club (AKC) Stud Book as Staffordshire Terriers, belonging to the terrier and molosser groups. The name of the breed was revised January 1, 1969 to American Staffordshire Terrier; breeders in the United States had developed a variety which was heavier in weight than the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England. The name change was to distinguish them as separate breeds.[2]
The breed's popularity began to decline in the United States following World War II. In 2013 the American Kennel Club ranked the American Staffordshire Terrier as the 76th most popular purebreed in the United States [4]
According to the American Kennel Club "The Am Staff is a people-oriented dog that thrives when he is made part of the family and given a job to do.[5] Although friendly, this breed is loyal to his own family. "[6]
The American Staffordshire Terrier should give the impression of great strength for his size, a well put-together dog, muscular, but agile and graceful, keenly alive to his surroundings. He should be stocky, not long-legged or racy in outline. Height and weight should be in proportion. A height of about 18 to 19 inches (46 to 48 cm) at shoulders for the male and 17 to 18 inches (43 to 46 cm) for the female is to be considered preferable.
American Staffordshire Terrier pups should not be bought weaned before they are 8–10 weeks old. Their life expectancy is generally 12 years with good care. Notable issues related to health and-well being include:
The breed may be vulnerable to skin allergies, urinary tract infections (UTI), and autoimmune diseases. Spondylosis and osteoarthritis are common in older dogs.
Worldwide, the American Staffordshire Terrier has been subject to breed bans that target the Bull and Terrier family in response to well-publicized incidents involving pit bulls or similar dog breeds. This legislation ranges from outright bans on possession to restrictions and conditions of ownership.[7] The appropriateness and effectiveness of breed-specific legislation in preventing dog-related fatalities and injuries is disputed.[8]

Cron job execution only every hour instead 5 minutes
I have set up a cron job that should be executed every 5 minutes.
I selected 5 in the minutes section and all in all the other sections.
The cron generates an error message (which has nothing to do with ISPConfig).
The interesting fact is that I get the error only once an hour.
Does that mean that the error will only send once an hour or is this cron not executed every 5 minutes like it should be?
You can check your syslog - a log entry should appear whenever a cron job is executed.
Cron Job is only executed every hour!
Is this only an my machine or can this bug be confirmed?
what is your cron entry?
I have set it up in ISPConfig:
php -q /var/www/web1/web/jobs.php
I selected 5 in the minutes section and all in all the other sections.
If you want to execute the cron job every five minutes, you must select 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. in the minutes section (press CTRL to select more than one value).

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Spanish lenders NCG Banco, Catalunya Banc and Unnim Banc, which were created this year as part of the restructuring of Spain's savings bank system, won temporary European Union approval for their recapitalizations.
"Strengthening the capital of these banks is paramount to their ability to continue lending to the real economy and to implement the restructuring that they will need to undergo as a result of the significant subsidies received from the" country's bank-rescue fund, EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said in an e-mailed statement today.
Final approval by the European Commission, the 27-nation EU's executive agency, depends on the submission of a restructuring plan "that ensures that the banks will be viable in the long-term, that shareholders adequately share the burden of restructuring and that distortions of competitions are limited," said the Brussels-based regulator.

Hey Ya'll! Seeking advice here. I am a home-based cake decorator and I have been making cakes for almost 6 years now. About 90% of the cakes I make are celebration/birthday cakes and about 80% of them are Children's birthday cakes. I make cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and cake pops. Now I really love doing kids cakes, I find that's where I really shine. Lately though I have been feeling like I want to take my business further. I really don't enjoy doing wedding cakes, but the money is nice. I have been trying to come up with ideas to do something a bit different. One of my ideas is "cupcake boxes". Just a box of 4 cupcakes to reach those who don't necessarily have kids or need a big cake. Such flavors such as salted caramel etc. do you guys have any other ideas??? TIA

On Tuesday morning, we at Giants 101 talked about the impending release or trade of fullback Vonta Leach by the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens, which ended up happening. With the New York Giantsã current starting fullback Henry Hynoskiô recovering from knee surgery last month, we talked about the possibility of the Giants looking into Leach, especially since the team has tried to sign him in the past. Dave Hutchinson of the Newark-Star Ledger is reporting that the Giants have in fact, checked in on Leach and are inquiring on his status. The 31-year-old free agent fullback is scheduled to fly down to Florida to have a visit with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday morning. At the start of the Giants mandatory three-day mini-camp, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was asked if they were interested in Leach, and he didnãt go into detail if they were, but didnãt deny the interest, either. ãWeãre interested in everybody,ã said Coughlin.
