MANAGER Pete Milhench felt Supermarine Sports Club were fortunate to snatch a point in a 1-1 draw at Devizes reserves in the Wiltshire League Premier Division.
Devizes took the lead in the opening minutes but the league leaders levelled just before half-time when Dave Rendle was pushed over in the box and Kieran Jennings converted the resulting penalty.
The visitors might have nicked all three points in the final 10 minutes of the second period but Dean Hughes could only direct his effort against the crossbar.
Sports boss Pete Milhench said: "We haven't had a game since December 7 and they have got a good squad out there as they are the reserves to a Western League side.
"The whole game we only had two shots on goal so we didn't deserve the win, but we did deserve a point."
In the only match played elsewhere in the division, Jamie Sheppard and Ant Packer both hit doubles and Billy Sly was also on the scoresheet in Southbrook's 5-1 thrashing of hosts Wilts Calne Town.
Southbrook boss Albert Dearing was delighted with victory, which meant his team moved to within five points of Supermarine with a game in hand.
Dearing said: "We knew fitness was going to be an issue after not having a game for a few weeks, so we knew we had to get going early.
"We went 3-0 up before they pulled one back and then it was 4-1 at half-time, and we coasted through the second half.
"We could have had more goals in the second half but in the end we were quite happy with the result.
"it was nice to get back in the groove after losing our last game to Vale of Pewsey."
The only fixture in Division 1 saw Wroughton reserves storm to a 9-2 victory over rock-bottom Blunsdon.
The result allowed Wroughton to close the gap on third-placed Wootton Bassett Dev to six points.
Bassett Dev were without a game in the league at the weekend as they had a Junior KO Cup quarter-final fixture at Malmesbury reserves, which they lost 5-2.
Lewis Petrie was twice on the scoresheet for Bassett which included a penalty, but they could not progress to the last four.
"We made mistakes at the back and got punished, although to be fair Malmesbury played very well," said boss Dave Terry.
"It was a bad day at the office for us as we just didn't play very well. But sometimes you learn more in defeat than you do from winning all the time so we have to be positive."

CHAMPIONS Woodhouse Grange gained a couple of points over second-placed Easingwold with the best of a draw at Sewerby in the Hunters York & District Senior Cricket League premier division.
The leaders scored 227-6 batting first thanks to Mike Hattee's 81 not out and 67 from Chris Bilton.
Sewerby closed on 134-7 with Tom Chippendale the top scorer on 51, held back by veteran Nick Hadfield's 4-32.
Batting first at Hull Zingari, Easingwold had Stephen Piercy's 94 as the backbone to their 187-8 in 30 overs.
Zingari's Matty Scarr took 5-46.
The hosts then ran out of overs as James Postill pegged them back to 161-5.
Stamford Bridge came within a whisker of taking maximum points after scoring an all-out 182, and then having hosts Fenner at 133-9 when the game ended.
Paul Milner (53), Dom Rhodes (37) and Richard Stevens (35) led the way in the first innings, despite strong performances from ex-Stamford Bridge player Steve Sergeant (5-24) and Stephen Croft (4-43).
In reply, Fenner were held in check by two of their former players, Dom Rhodes (2-31) and Luke Robinson (2-17), despite Sergeant's 54.
Struggling Dunnington gained valuable points with the best of a draw at Studley Royal after they declared on 178-5.
Skipper Jack Bolam top-scored with an unbeaten 78. Despite Rob Nicholson's 93 not out, Studley fell agonisingly short of the target at 172-6 in a rain affected game.
Sheriff Hutton Bridge were denied a possible victory when their innings was cut short by rain at home to York.
York were all out for 114 with Ben Harrison taking 4-9, and Jordan Grose 3-32. Rob Pinder set about chasing down the total with an unbeaten 57 off 26 balls as his side were stopped short on 81-2.
Clifton Alliance's home game against Beverley Town was halted after 12 overs with the visitors on 43-2.
In division one, visitors Driffield got off to a flying start at Pickering, scoring 73-0 off 13 overs. Grant Halder (27) and John Robinson (43) were unbeaten as rain ensured an early finish.
Acomb took three early Bolton Percy wickets before play was abandoned after ten overs with the visitors on 12-3.
Folkton & Flixton reached 49-2 off 15.2 overs at high-flying Heworth before rain stopped play.
Goole Town's 209-5 declared looked a good score until the game was cut short in the 21st over with visitors Malton & Old Malton on 86-3, Shaun Harland contributing 50 not out.
Earlier Oscar Sugden (53no), Ollie Ounsley (59) and Anthony Gibbins (35) had given Goole a solid platform.

BUSINESSES could be left on the hard shoulder of the information highway if plans to bring superfast broadband to West Somerset are not sped up, it was claimed this week.
Dozens of firms and homeowners are hit by the lack of coverage in the area, making it difficult to run a fully-functional website or carry out simple household tasks.
Communication giant BT is currently rolling out superfast broadband schemes in many parts of the South-West but West Somerset MP Ian Liddell-Grainger says progress in the district is slow.
He said: "Things are going well in Sedgemoor where several parishes have been switched on and more are expected to be switched on in October.
"However, in West Somerset there is very slow progress."
Mr Liddell-Grainger met with Paul Coles, BT regional manager for the South-West, last week to discuss ways to improve coverage.
He added: "I am asking BT to look at the coastal strip of Mine-head, Dunster, Williton and Por-lock because businesses and people there are missing out.
"Broadband is something we have got to start looking at. Because of the tourism trade, broadband is a vital tool and in Minehead in particular there is grave concern over the lack of it."
Exmoor National Park has bid for additional funding to help BT extend its coverage when broadband is up and running.
It also rubbished talk of plans to set up its own internet service.
Chief executive Nigel Stone said: "Exmoor is a difficult area to reach due to its terrain and because premises are so far apart.
"Rest assured, we are doing all we can to help bring broadband to the area."
Loretta Whetlor, who used to run a holiday let in Watchet, was one of the victims of poor internet coverage.
She said: "If I had better broadband I could have used the internet for bookings a lot more.
"I think it would make a great difference to the area if our exchange was digital."
A spokesperson for Connect-ing Devon and Somerset said broadband has already been rolled out to parts of Crowcombe and Lydeard St Lawrence, with thousands more people to benefit over the next 12 months.

How do I get my urls to look like:
instead of www.example.com/test.php
and to make it work in sub directories too like:
instead of www.example.com/test2/file.php
If you rename test.php to just 'test' and then make an .htaccess file with the following:
<Files test>ForceType application/x-httpd-php</Files>
It will work, the only trouble is that for each additional file that works like this you need to duplicate that part of the .htaccess
It depends how many files you want to handle like this really..
For two files you can do this:
<Files test>ForceType application/x-httpd-php</Files><Files test1>ForceType application/x-httpd-php</Files>
And for subdirectories you can just create a .htaccess in the subdirectory in the same way.
Hope that helps!
is it possible to remove the .php through the .htaccess instead of renaming each file?
A quick search of google for 'clean url' found a few things that might be useful:
Hope that's helpful
I tried google but I can't seem to find what I mentioned in my 1st post, the links you give do work but don't add the / at the end of the url.
Best to have a read of the Article in my signature as it answers your questions.
I checked out your site so far I got in my .htaccess
RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^/?([a-z]+)$ $1.php [L]
now that works when I type
but when I type:
it doesn't, and I can't find out how to add the / on the end of the URL... on your website.
If you use the trailing /, it can be confused as a directory request. However, mod_rewrite IS up to the task of handling either situation by adding an optional slash before the end anchor. Just be aware that EVERY subdirectory request without a file in the path will be treated this way, too! In other words, that's NOT recommended.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?([a-z]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
alright, thanks
how i can rewrite my urls to static ones.Basically i don't know how to write regular expressions thats why i am writing down the url structure and the result i am looking for.
I want to make it:http://www.myDomain.com/se/search/iphone
More better if some one can give me a .htaccess file that will rewrite url tohttp://www.myDomain.com/se/iphone
Thanks in advance.
That's ALL in the tutorial Article linked in my signature.
Please read threads (in this thread, it's post #6) and you'll get that same advice.
Hi DK,
I read your tutorial and used the following code in my .htaccess
RewriteEngine onRewriteBase /se
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/?$ search_results.php?search=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
But still the url is not re-written.Can you please help.
If you'd read it, you would know to NEVER use (.*) - it's just lazy code which will backfire on you 99 times out of 100. Also, I hope that I'd stated in there that RewriteBase is ONLY to correct a Redirect problem. Saying that,
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?se/search/([a-z]+)/?$ se/search_results.php?search=$1 [L]
Your optional trailing slash will NEVER be matched (because of the (.*)) and No Case and Query String Append flags are NOT appropriate here.
I am a beginner and i am not sure where i am making mistake.
If you mean that i put the above code:RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^/?se/search/([a-z]+)/?$ se/search_results.php?search=$1 [L]
in my .htaccess then i just did it but again it didn't worked.
You can see the demo of my script at:http://www.projectsupdates.com/shopping_api/
I will be thankful for your help in solving my problem.
Sorry, my .htaccess file contains:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?shopping_api/search/([a-z]+)/?$ shopping_api/search_results.php?search=$1 [L]
I believe that your problem stems from not having an action for your form! As a POST method, the value of the search item will be hidden from Apache (merely passed through with the POST array and not subject to review by mod_rewrite.
IF you wanted to use the search term, you would have to use the GET method OR process the action in a JavaScript to create the desired URI format before SUBMIT.

Hi all,
I am attempting to place an HTML object on a page but I'm having issues with the height.
The object varies in height depending on the content, which updates constantly as it is a list of the latest posts on our forum.
I have set the height as 100% like so:
<object scroll="no" style="width: 200px; height: 100%;" data="http://ivegotkids.com/community/user/index.php/latest-discussions"> </object>
But this is giving me a huge gap at the bottom of the object because it's giving me 100% of the screen size, not the actual content.
How do I set the height to stop at the bottom of the content and not at the bottom of the screen.
Have you tried leaving out the height completely?
Yes, when I do that the frame sets itself a default size which is only a fraction of the size that's needed and I end up with a scroll bar to see the rest of it... I need it to be 100% but it should be 100% of the page size not 100% of the screen size.
On which browser you saw this?
I use Chrome.
This is really confusing, height: 100% should stretch it according to content. Can you provide some link so that we can see it live?
No, it's based on the element's container, not its content.
Perhaps JS is needed for this. It would detect the content height and set the height on the object accordingly.
It is my experience that object will size itself to its content if possible. Be sure to use the "type" attribute, e.g. type="text/html".

The ultimate July 4th meal is eaten outside. It doesn't matter where — sitting on your front porch, on a picnic blanket in the park, on a city roof, beachside — so long as you're enjoying a warm summer night under the stars (and, if you're lucky, watching fireworks). There is just something about the patriotic holiday that makes it best enjoyed in the company of a celebratory crowd (friends, family, neighbors, strangers). These red-white-and-blue cakes are the perfect ending for your festive meal. In addition to having the star-spangled palette, the cakes' brown butter icing will hold up well at your alfresco gathering.

CHILDREN in Worcestershire will be finding out how to create simple computer code thanks to a technology company.
Pupils from St Barnabas CE Primary in Worcester and St Egwin's CE Middle School in Evesham have already taken part in free programming workshops offered by ComputerXplorers to prepare for a new computing curriculum.
The workshops were created because, from September, primary schools throughout the county will have to teach new computing classes with the emphasis on how to code and programme, following Education Secretary Michael Gove's latest curriculum changes.
The Government's revised national computing curriculum for 2014 puts significant emphasis on teaching children how to write code and pupils aged five to seven will be expected to understand what algorithms are and to create and debug simple programs.
By the age of 11, pupils will be expected to design, use and evaluate computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real-world problems and physical systems.
Fran Greenaway from ComputerXplorers said: "Teachers now face the challenge of learning how to deliver the new curriculum and finding resources and support.
"We know how hard it is for teachers to find time away from school so we are offering to bring help and support into local schools in the form of training for teachers and classes for children.
"Our free programming workshop for children will have them designing and programming their own video game whilst our free Introduction to Programming session for primary, first and middle school teaching staff will demystify the new computing curriculum and provide hands on programming experience."
The workshops have been offered as part of the national Programming for Primaries Awareness Week which runs from Monday, March 24 to Sunday, March 30.
Schools interested in signing up for a free workshop for teaching staff or children should contact Fran Greenaway on email@example.com by Friday, February 28.

SOMEschools in Swindon will have to fork out for kitchen upgrades ahead of compulsory meals coming into effect in September.
Last year the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced that all children in Years 1 and 2 would get a free meal, which has meant many schools have needed to upgrade their facilities.
The council received a grant earlier this year for £360,000 but this will not be able to cover the full cost so schools have been asked to contribute.
Initially, it was believed schools would need to pay 20 per cent from their own funds but this has since dropped closer to five per cent.
However, the move has been criticised by headteachers who say while they welcome school meals for youngsters, they feel the move has been ill thought out and pupils will suffer as a result.
Mike Welsh, headteacher at Goddard Park Primary, said: "This is a good policy and the idea of all the youngsters having a hot meal is a good thing.
"The problem is that it has not been thought out or financed properly. If you are going to implement a policy like this then you need to make sure it is done correctly.
"We have everything in place so it will not be an issue here but I have spoken to a number of headteachers elsewhere who say they will have to spend money.
"As with everywhere money is tight so this could have a negative effect on education which is unacceptable.
"I am not blaming the local authority because they can only work with what they are given. It feels as though this policy has been rushed through and as a result schools are having to pay the price."
A council spokesman said: "In Swindon, schools are making no more than five per cent contribution towards the costs, using a process that has been worked out with them. "We had originally estimated that it might be up to 20 per cent, but following discussions about their requirements it turned out to be much less. This means that we have received 95 per cent of the money required from government funding."
Council leaders have defended the policy which they say will make a big difference to many lives.
Coun Fionuala Foley (Con, Chiseldon and Lawn), the cabinet member for schools, said: "I understand that five per cent from the budget at any time is not ideal but I feel it will be a good investment.
"The benefits from ensuring every child in Years 1 and 2 get hot meals will outweigh the costs. It will improve concentration and possibly attendance.
"Council officers and catering managers have worked hard to make sure the cost is kept down.
"For many children this will be their only hot meal of the day."
The opposition have said the policy is focused in the wrong place and while the free meals are a good thing, it is a luxury in a time of austerity.
Anne Snelgrove, the Labour parliamentary candidate for Swindon South, said: "I am extremely disappointed schools in Swindon are going to have to dedicate 20 per cent of their budget to pay for free school meals at a time when class sizes are going up.
"My priority would not have been to introduce free school meals at this time because, while nice, the school budgets are stretched and there are other priorities."

LOS ANGELES — Melissa's World Variety Produce Inc. has released its hottest cookbook yet — "Melissa's Hatch Chile Cookbook."
Written by Ida Rodriguez, Melissa's corporate chef, and Sharon Hernandez, company co-owner, the book is packed with more than 150 unique and classic Hatch chili recipes, said Robert Schueller, director of public relations.
The book tells how to create amped-up stews, casseroles, bloody marys and even chocolate chip cookies.
The authors chose to write about the Hatch peppers because consumers were asking what a Hatch chili is and how it's different from other chilies, Hernandez said.
"The flavor is very distinct," she said during a July 9 kickoff at the company's corporate office, "and it intensifies when the chili is roasted."
Heat levels range from mild to extra-hot.
Fresh Hatch chilies only are available during August and September, and people tend to buy them by the 35-pound case, then roast and freeze them so they can enjoy them year-round, Rodriguez said.
"That's a lot of chilies to buy at one time," she said, but the book offers lots of ways to put them to good use.
The seed as well as the climate, the weather and the water in Hatch, N.M. where the chilies are grown, combine to make the area the ideal growing place for the chilies, she said.
"Because Hatch is in a valley, it gets super hot during the day," Hernandez said, "but then it cools off at night."
"The chili takes a little bit longer to grow that way, but it also gets thicker and meatier," she said. "You have a chili that has much more body."
The hardcover book with full-color photos now is available, Schueller said. He encourages retailers to sell the book in the produce department alongside fresh Hatch chilies.
"Sales will soar," he said.
The company's other cookbooks are "Melissa's Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce," "Melissa's Great Book of Produce" and "Melissa's 50 Best Plants on the Planet."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2013 (1638 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Catty about Kate
I wonder what got into author Hilary Mantel, to make her denounce the Duchess of Cambridge -- née Kate Middleton -- so viciously.
Mantel, a two-time Booker Prize winner, certainly can turn a phrase. Giving a lecture on Anne Boleyn this month, she said Kate "appeared to have been designed by a committee and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile" and that she seemed "painfully thin... without quirks, without oddities, without the risk of the emergence of character."
Please, someone get this woman a saucer of milk!
Mantel's novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, are about the time of Henry VIII, which she seems to think makes her an expert on modern royal wives.
She's 60. Kate's 31.
Rolling Stones gather warts
BILL Wyman, a founding member of the Rolling Stones, left the band in 1990, amid talk that he was feuding with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards; at one point he called Mick an "egomaniac". So his memoirs should be fun.
Wyman tells The Telegraph that the book will be "warts and all" - a phrase that usually means "I'll admit what everyone knows, and clobber my enemies".
But don't hold your breath. "I'm going through my old diaries and boxes," he says "... but it's finding it all that's the problem. I'm only up to 1972 at the moment."
Wyman, who did appear with the band last November in London, is 76.
Accent-uate the positive
HARRY Styles speaks: The boy-band Brit, asked on Capital FM radio over there about his break-up with Taylor Swift, was non-committal: "I'm OK, thank you for asking. I'm good."
Was she mocking him when she used a British accent at the Grammys? No comment: "She's always good on the stage. She's been doing it a long time. She knows what she's doing on stage."
But then he added something sensible about being under the celeb-gossip microscope:
"I understand why people would want to know stuff like that, I get it. If someone does stuff like that then I want to know about it, too."
Blame Brando
RITA Moreno tried to kill herself and it was Marlon Brando's fault, she says in her new autobio.
The dancer, still best known I guess for West Side Story, was 22 and Brando was 30 when they met, in 1954.
Their affair lasted "for years" she writes, but throughout he saw other women, had a couple of kids, and "broke my heart and came close to crushing my very spirit with his physical infidelities and, worse, with his emotional betrayals." For a while she went out with Elvis, trying to make Brando jealous.
Later, when she was pregnant by Brando, he arranged an illegal abortion that almost killed her; then she tried to do it herself, with pills at his home.
He died in 2004. She's still here at 81.
Cows lining up to buy tickets
POOR earnest Morrissey, taking himself way too seriously, has organized an all-vegetarian concert for March 1. Need I say this will happen in L.A.?
It's vegetarian in the sense that all the snack bars at the Staples Centre will offer stuff like bulgur wheat and yeast burgers and all the carrot sticks you can stand, plus of course French fries and fizzy drinks. But the McDonald's outlets at the place will be closed for the night and there will be no, you know, food. No hamburgers, no pepperoni pizza, no sushi, no 24-oz medium-rare sirloin steaks with bacon on the side... but I digress.
The singer says solemnly that "I don't look upon it as a victory for me, but a victory for the animals."
You may recall that he was in hospital last month. They said it was an ulcer; can wheat grass cause that? I suspect malnutrition.
He's 53.
Bungee jump or get bangs
MICHELLE Obama, on Rachael Ray's talk show, explained her new bangs this way: "This is my midlife crisis... I couldn't get a sports car. They won't let me bungee-jump. So instead, I cut my bangs."
Her husband, understanding clearly his duty in this situation, reacted to the new hairstyle by asserting "I love her bangs! ... She always looks good!"
Michelle turned 49 last month.
Our responsibility... to make money
AFENI Shakur, mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, has decided "it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac's entire body of work is made available for his fans," Billboard reports. I think we can all decode this: "There's money to be made."
Tupac was gunned down in 1996 -- nobody has been convicted -- leaving behind a lot of unreleased work, some which has been trickling out ever since. "My son left many incomplete pieces and even more unfinished ideas," Afeni says now. "Using the blueprints he gave us, I am committed to fulfilling this duty."
Celebrity gossip update
-- The Hugh Grant - Tinglan Hong baby boy will be called Felix Chang Hong Grant. Felix is Latin for lucky; and I am told Chang, in Chinese, means long-lasting.
-- No, Katy Perry and John Mayer are not engaged. That ring she's wearing on the engagement finger was just a gift he gave her, not a token of betrothal.
-- Crime writer Patricia Cornwell has won that lawsuit against the financial advisors Anchin, Block & Anchin. She claimed they cost her $40 million by bungling her business affairs; a federal judge in Massachusetts has now agreed, ordering the company to pay her $50.9 million. Her reaction: "God bless justice."

It is time to refill the ice trays and fire up the airconditioner.
Canberra Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Magdalena Galos-Lorenc said that after a brief reprieve on Monday, another string of hot days were in store for Canberra.
The average maximum temperature so far this month was likely to be hotter than 28 degrees, Canberra's average for January, she said.
The ACT Emergency Services Agency elevated the ACT fire danger rating meter to high for Tuesday.
Canberrans can expect sunny skies and a top of 29 degrees on Tuesday, then a foggy morning followed by a sunny day with a maximum temperature of 34 degrees on Wednesday.
The bureau is predicting a scorcher for Thursday, with a maximum temperature of 36 degrees.
"We've got north-westerly winds that bring this hot air mass from the interior of Australia," Ms Galos-Lorenc said.
Friday will be even hotter with a top of 37 degrees predicted, but showers and thunderstorms will break up the blue skies.
Ms Galos-Lorenc said Canberrans may be feeling the heat because they were unused to it after last summer, when the capital recorded its coolest January since 2000.
In February 2012 Canberra recorded an average maximum temperature of 2.1 degrees below the historical average, and heavy rain made it the eighth wettest February on record.
The bureau is predicting a slightly cooler 27 degrees on Saturday, warming to a maximum temperature of 30 degrees.
To start next week, a maximum temperature of 33 degrees with a shower or two is expected on Monday.
Those looking to cool off with a swim will note updates on the water quality of Lake Burley Griffin reported all zones open for recreational use.

A WELL-RESPECTED East Lancashire Islamic leader has been killed in a blaze in the holy city of Medina.
Mufti Yusuf Bismillah, 58, from Blackburn, is understood to have suffocated when the Saudi Arabian hotel he was staying in caught fire.
Tributes have poured in for the 'pious' and 'humble' Islamic scholar, of Ripon Street, who was associated with the mosque on Audley Range, Blackburn.
Mufti Yusuf's wife Fatimah, who was with him, was taken to hospital suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation.
Two of their eight children flew out to Saudi Arabia yesterday to be with her.
Coun Salim Mulla, who also lives in Ripon Street and is Mayor of Blackburn with Darwen, said news of Mufti Yusuf's death had sent 'shockwaves' throughout the area.
He said: "Mufti Yusuf was a pillar of our community and it is a massive, tragic loss. We cannot get over it.
"He was such an inspirational man of Blackburn and he was very, very highly regarded.
"He was a very moderate man and he understood living in the UK."
Mourners and well wishers from across the country gathered at the family home yesterday to pay their respects and remember Mufti Yusuf, who also taught at an Islamic school in Preston.
Coun Mulla said that Mufti Yusuf's body would not be flown back to the UK, but instead laid to rest in the Jannatul Al-Baqi cemetery.
He said that because Medina, a major religious pilgrimage destination for Muslims, was such a holy city, it was a 'blessing' to die there.
Medina is also the burial site of the Prophet Muhammad and is Islam's second most important religious city after Mecca.
Amina Dalal, of Ripon Street, said her sons had been taught Islamic scriptures by Mufti Yusuf.
She said: "His death is not only a loss to us, it is a loss to the whole community.
"He was such an intelligent, modest and humble person.
"Mufti Yusuf helped us in incredible ways."
The blaze at the Ishraq Al-Madina Hotel killed at least 12 people and injured around 130 other pilgrims when it broke out shortly after 2.30pm local time on Saturday.
Newspapers in the country reported that the flames had been brought under control by around 5pm.
An investigation into the cause of the fire was launched, with initial reports indicating it was started by a short circuit during maintenance work.
It is understood 30 people were treated at the scene, with others being sent to the King Fahd Hospital and the Ansar Hospital.
Most pilgrims died of suffocation, it was reported.
Authorities evacuated the 700 guests, of different nationalities, staying at the hotel. Those who were trapped inside were said to have climbed onto the roof for safety.

VETERANS from all over the country marched side by side along Weymouth's seafront today to mark Veterans Day.
The veterans' parade was part of the town's Armed Forces weekend events.
The day started with an open air service and wreath-laying at the British Cenotaph, which was attended by the Mayor and Dorset's Lord Lieutenant Angus Campbell.
Afterwards veterans, let by the band of the Royal Marines Plymouth, paraded down Weymouth's Esplanade, with former servicemen and women representing regiments from all over the country.
Later in the day a vehicle convoy and display took place and bands played throughout the day.
The Parade marks the last day of weekend events to celebrate Armed Forces Day and commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One.
Veteran Keith Pitchford, 66, who served in 16th/5th The Queen's Royal Lancers, said: "We're really here today to remember the others who we served with and commemorate some of those chaps. It's very important to us to be here today."
Sgt William Hubbock, 86, was 16 when he joined the Royal Fusiliers in 1944.
He said: "It's definitely important to remember. I want our young people to remember because I don't know what things like this are going to be like in the future. If it wasn't for the sacrifices of others the future wouldn't be anything like it looks now."
An estimated 40,000 people have visited Weymouth this weekend for the commemorative events.
Marsden Hewing, who served with the Gurkha Rifles, travelled from Wales for the event and said: "I come down here every year. It's important to teach the young about those who fought for them. It's especially important because of the anniversaries of World War One and D-Day."
Yesterday a variety of things took place included a beach assault, militaria fair, 60 military vehicle display and convoy, an evening of 1940s dancing and re-enactments amongst other events, all topped off with a fly-by over the beach by a Spitfire.
Steve Davies, events manager for Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, said the whole weekend had been a great success.
"Yesterday and today we've had record numbers. Over 20,000 people have attended today's veterans' parade. It just shows the popularity and success of the event has built up over the years. This is the event that they all want to come to, from all over the country. It's great for the local economy too, it's been a boost because people are staying all weekend."
Weymouth and Portland's Mayor Kate Wheller said: "I think Sunday's events have gone hugely successfully. It was really great to see so many people attending and such a lot taking part. The events struck a nice balance between the moving ceremony and the parade to remember all those who did so much for us."

Whoops! Sofia Vergara Had One Heck of a Wardrobe Malfunction at the Emmys!
It's comforting to know that wardrobe malfunctions can happen even to such fabulous people as Sofia Vergara, is it not?
-Lucia Peters
Wardrobe malfunctions: They happen to the best of us. Also to the worst of us, but for us normal people, it's nice to know that even such seemingly perfect people as Sofia Vergara fall prey to them sometimes! DANGER: One of the pics below may be a wee bit NSFW, so consider yourselves warned.
Anyhoo, the Modern Family star looked like a stunning mermaid creature in her metallic green Zuhair Murad gown at the Emmys on Sunday night—but apparently it wasn't as easy to pull it off as it Sofia made it look. The dress, you see, decided roughly twenty minutes before Modern Family took the top prize for Outstanding Comedy Series, that it no longer wanted to stay in one piece and subsequently split up the back. Yikes!
Luckily, the Emmys have their stars covered: Sofia Tweeted this pic from backstage of her emergency wardrobe team stitching the dress back up. "20 min Modern Family won!! Dress malfuncion !!! [sic]," she wrote. "Thank you emergency team!!!"
Read Hot or Not? Natalie Portman Goes Super Blonde
A few minutes later, she also Tweeted out a pic of the damage (this is the NSFW one):
But at least she was good-humored about it; "Yes!!!! This happend 20 min before we won!!!! Jajajajja. I luv my life!!!! [sic]", she wrote along with the photo. And hey, when you're Sofia Vergara, you've really got nothing to hide, right?
After her emergency dress repair, she carried on with the night—and from what we can see, it was a rollicking good time:
Boy, do we wish we had been there!

I there any way for getting more visitors on website without search engine or How can we get most visitors without seo?
The best option for this is to participate on social networking sites. But you will need to work on building your network on regular basis and more importantly, if you keep promoting your own pages or website, the members in your network may consider it as spamming so I would suggest you to participate genuinely and participate in other discussions as well.
A lot of it depends on what your site is about. If your content is the sort of stuff that people might be interested in when "just browsing", you could pick up a fair amount of traffic through social networking and social bookmark sites. People may be less likely to go to Google for that kind of content.
On the other hand, if you are dealing with more specific, targeted content - the sort of stuff that people are likely to go straight to Google for, then that's where you need to target your efforts. Getting links from other sites that rank high for relevant searches might help, but you'll probably struggle to get those.
Put yourself in the mind of the searcher. What would you be doing, if this website was the answer to what you wanted?
Hi there
Since Google's big changes in 2012 (Panda, Penguin) it's become fairly clear to many people that relying on Google as a source of traffic is destined to be painful. The many people building scammy AdSense sites up to 2008 already knew this when their earnings were decimated in that year by Google's algorithm changes.
So, much better to have a strategy where you rely on Google only as a source of supplementary traffic, not your main traffic.
For most people, probably, the best approach to this is to create really excellent content in a niche that you enjoy (so it's not boring). It needs to be so good that when people come there they will be happy to share it with their friends, followers, et cetera. Then if you get active in the relevant forums and questions and answers sites – which should not be a pain if it's a topic you enjoy – then people will follow the links in your natural posts, and in your sick, and the trickles of traffic you get will mount up to a steady stream.
This is a nice, solid strategy which doesn't depend on Google.
Video marketing can also be useful. Facebook page and twitter updates.
The best way to get search engine referral is write quality contents with most searchable keyword and share it on soial media. Only top ranking post get chances to drive traffics. So that you do more interact in social media and forum and visualize your content in search engines. It is not overnight process, it may take many days, if you share best post then certainly get chaces to get more traffics.Best of luck- Googma Sansar
Depends on what is your targeted audience.
For example: If your website is on weight loss niche, you can use facebook, media buys and ppc rather then depending on Google.
There are various other options like article marketing, using forums to bring traffic, CPA offers.
Please be more specific about what exactly your site is all about and we can further assist you.
article marketing and guest blogging are the techniques through we can get good traffic.These methods have a good advantage of serving good content for better exposure of our brand in market.
I would use Adwords or some other PPC provider to drive traffic to your site. There is always social media as well.
What about making videos, or starting a blog. A blog is a great way to drive more traffic to a website. Especially one that offers useful information.
Check out these links for more information on driving traffic to your site,
I hope this helps you,
Number of Options to engage traffic .. Content marketing Techniques Are Best Friend of you but depends on the naturalism and creativity of key phrases you used to linked for website . Participate in Communities Discussion , Press Releases , video Sharing etc ....
Yes its social media optimization (SMO). The website with the second highest alexarank of the world is Facebook. So you can think how much traffic you can drive.
The Other way is Social Media Optimization where you can create social Media profiles and promote your website thorugh your posts or through posting interesting information about it.
It is now easy to obtain any information, including how to increase website traffic. Everything can search on google.
Forum discussions like these forums are a good means to obtain guidance from friends members.
Most common is PPC, where you bid for keywords in your niche. It's a good way to drive traffic to your site, but be careful with your bidding or you will get broke.Traffic exchanges are a way to get free traffic, but it's not easy to convert into buyers.
Invigo brough up a good point here - in addition to SMM (which takes time) and PPC (which takes money), you can try to go into traffic exchange.The only problem with the traffic exchange is that you need to have some traffic prior so you can exchange it (catch 22, huh?)
If you have a new website or blog with very little DAU, you will have to get some initial traffic through the CPM, PPC networks, or Social Media - then you can exchange it.
is that possible?
Why not? There are plenty of networks that do traffic exchange. In Russia, the biggest one is mgid (but they have mediocre traffic quality because they work through the banner network)In the U.S. you have Nster, startxchange, morehits4u, and tons of others.
The problem is that a lot of people are trying to do traffic exchange having a very low number of visitors, and as a result they receive low return. Another thing to keep in mind - you got to send visitors from the traffic exchange not on your "home" page, but on the landing page or any other page that do advertise whatever you have.
And don't put traffic exchange banner or widget on the same page with Google AdSense - google doesn't allow it. I was personally using traffic exchangers while working in commercial real estate and later in radiology center in Chicago. After I paid for couple thousand visitors, I started rotating them with other websites and the outcome was very good...
Hope that helped
After search engine, best way to get traffic is from Social Media sites... Try to get engaged with Social Media sites like FB, Twitter, Pinterest along with some forums of your niche. Try to build a good reputation and earn some followers there. Keep your followers busy by posting interesting time by time and it will definitely converted into good amount of traffic to your website. And one thing I noticed, if you've your fan base setup than traffic comes from social media has very less bounce rate.
Social media is your best partner to gain traffic without search engines! .. Just like what they have mentioned above, there are lots of social media sites you can use.. You can do interesting videos to get the attention of the others.
If you want more traffic without SEO process then one of the best option is Email marketing or advertising which are used according to trends in this one email goes or send to thousands or millions or sender on one click.


text: World's most stylish supercars take a luxury road tripUpdated 1755 GMT (0155 HKT) June 29, 2015 Chat with us in Facebook Messenger. Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. Photos: Do you fancy driving a Lamborghini down a picturesque country road in France, revving your car's powerful engine while the stunning scenery whizzes past you? And how about an al-fresco Michelin-star lunch, followed by a helicopter ride to Monaco and partying with Formula One stars after that? If you have $58,000 to spare, The Run to Monaco can organize this for you. The annual event sees a fleet of supercars drive from England to the south of France, stopping by luxury hotels and restaurants along the way, and ending in Monaco just in time for the Grand Prix. Interviews by Milena Veselinovic Hide Caption 1 of 10 Photos: If you are now reaching for a credit card to book your place, you are probably exactly the type of international jet-setter whom The Run Into Monaco organisers try to attract: "Our clientele are mainly successful entrepreneurs. They own a supercar but don't have a chance to drive it as much as they would like to," says Chris Welch, who alongside his partner Christo Thompson founded the rally in 2012. Hide Caption 2 of 10 Photos: Welch and Thompson worked in Formula One and travel industries before they decided that they could top the entertainment they saw on offer at racing events: "We realized that hospitality around Formula One is not necessarily what high net-worth individuals were used to," says Welch. "We looked at what it was that these people liked, and there wasn't a supercar rally that included staying in fantastic hotels and putting on a gastronomic extravaganza," he explains.Hide Caption 3 of 10 Photos: The group gathers at the 12th century Leeds Castle in southeast England where, after a medieval banquet, they hop on a private Eurostar train to France and give their cars a spin at Rouen Airport. Hide Caption 4 of 10 Photos: The journey continues across France's heartland, making stops in the Sancerre wine region and the Alps. At this price point, drivers don't expect to fumble with maps -- each car is equipped with a sat-nav with a programmed route, and luggage is taken in advance. Hide Caption 5 of 10 Photos: Evenings are reserved for masked balls and Eastern-themed bashes. Rally participants come from all over the world, and the event has also seen F1 veterans like Damon Hill among the drivers in the past. Hide Caption 6 of 10 Photos: Predictably, a roaring supercar convoy doesn't go unnoticed in sleepy French villages: "There is quite a lot of excitement. Pupils bat on school windows and people take pictures, but it's all very jovial and fun" says Welch.Hide Caption 7 of 10 Photos: And because driving into Monaco just won't do, the trip culminates with a helicopter ride to the principality just time for the Grand Prix and dinner with F1 drivers. Hide Caption 8 of 10 Photos: The trip takes around nine months to plan, and Welch sees his role on the road as that of a host: "The reason why I set the event up was because it presented an opportunity to meet some great people," he adds.Hide Caption 9 of 10 Photos: For his partner Christo Thompson, it's all about the sense of adventure: "The best part of the experience is exploring off the beaten track," he says. This November, Welch and Thompson will launch The Run To Austin, starting in Las Vegas and finishing at the Grand Prix of Americas in the Texas capital.Hide Caption 10 of 10More from AutosA futuristic ride in Mercedes' self-driving car This new virtual reality tool could transform how we design cars How to design the car of your dreams in VR Will Japan win the flying car race?Sandracer 500GT: Enter the $450K dune bashing supercar

Yesterday I had a pleasant email from Mark Galbraith the publisher of the bookazine Discover Your Ancestors telling me that they are about to publish a new monthly magazine called Discover Your Ancestors Periodical. The new publication will be published monthly and I think it will fill the gap nicely between the Discover Your Ancestors bookazine issues.
I wrote some time ago about Issue 1 of Discover Your Ancestors, which I was most impressed with. It was an easy, informative read that managed to have something for family historians whatever their level of expertise. Being a bookazine means that it naturally seems to find it's way onto the book case rather than in the pile of genealogy magazines languishing under the coffee table ! I am looking forward to getting my hands on Issue 2 which has just been published.
Discover Your Ancestors Issue 2 is now available from the publishers DMG or from newsagents & booksellers such as W H Smith.
There are a variety of subscription packages for the new Discover Your Ancestors Periodical, details of which can be obtained via the new website. I shall be opting for receiving my monthly edition on my iPad and I'm told the online ordering facility will be up and running in the first half of April. There is an Early Bird Special of £12 for a year's subscription which is such a bargain I am sure many genealogists will be tempted.

With over 7,000 years of recorded history behind it, a flight to Amman with Qatar Airways can introduce you to one of the hidden gems of the Middle East. What's immediately noticeable is its rolling skyline, defined by the seven hills Amman was originally built on. These seven hills help to define each of the city's various districts, each with its own charm and surprises.
The architecture has been influenced by a number of expanding civilizations, from the Romans to the Islamic settlers who made this their home. As a result, the buildings that make up Amman are as startling as they are spectacular, charting the ages between antiquity and modernity, but with no more than a street between them. Fly to Amman and you can discover a rich tapestry of history against a backdrop of a slick, modern and vibrant city.
Near the centre of downtown Amman, you'll find the historic Jabal Amman district. If you've come on a trip to Amman to soak up its culture, then there's no better place to start than here. There is a huge variety of historic homes in this relatively small area and even an ancient, but still-thriving, market hosted by the Jabal Amman Residents Association. If you're looking for local culture, it doesn't get much more local than that!
The Ancient Roman amphitheatre carved into a hillside overlooking the centre of the city holds over 6,000 spectators and is still used today for cultural and sporting events. It forms part of the Roman Forum, which also plays host to the Jordanian Museum of Popular Traditions and the Jordanian Folklore Museum, where you can immerse yourself in the history and customs of this ancient city on your trip to Amman.
Travel to Amman and you'll find yourself in a city where the two most popular leisure activities are coffee and talking! The streets are lined with rich, dark coffee shops, where you can get a strong coffee, often served with a glass of water. Amman has a strong oral tradition and nowhere is it more prominent than on Rainbow Street, where cafés brim with the sound of chatter and the smell of coffee.
However, if you like a little more activity to your leisure time, then your trip to Amman ought to incorporate a visit to the ancient Citadel, where the sunset is serenaded by the city's mosques, calling the inhabitants to prayer. The Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace are also worth visiting. Each offers a spectacular view of the surrounding hills and a glimpse into Amman's long and fascinating past.
There's no better way to get to grips with a culture than through its cuisine and a trip to Amman is a must for those who enjoy good food. Local restaurants serve specialities, with each one having their own 'family recipes' that they claim are more authentic than their rivals! If you enjoy falafels, pitta and dips, washed down with traditional Jordanian tea, then head to King Faisal Street in the East of the city.
Jordanians' love sweet things, and are particularly partial to anything that includes honey in the recipe. Kenafeh is a pastry fried in butter, topped with soft cheese, another layer of pastry and then green pistachios. However, if you're not feeling too adventurous, head back to Rainbow Street, where you'll find restaurants selling giant pizzas and pasta dishes.
You should make time on your trip to Amman to do some shopping, as it can be an exciting experience! In addition to a wide range of shopping centres, such as Mecca Mall, you'll find designer boutiques – particularly in Sweifieh, Al-Wakalat Street. For a greater range of designer clothes and goods try the various malls such as Taj Mall, Galleria Mall, City Mall and Mecca Mall.
However, if you'd rather get a taste of what the locals have to offer, head down to the Gold Souk in Downtown. There you'll find stunning examples of gold and silverwork, with the majority of it being handmade. For a good day of local shopping such as Jabal al-Hussein, seek out the local markets. Each district has their own and each has its own character and charm.
Flights to Amman will take you to Queen Alia International Airport, about 30 miles south of the city. There are plenty of taxis available, which should only cost you about £20 for your journey.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Amman please check the visa and passport requirements.

Pronunciation: /ˈhɪpədrəʊm/
1 [as name] a theatre or concert hall: the Birmingham Hippodrome
2(in ancient Greece or Rome) a stadium for chariot or horse races.
late 16th century (in hippodrome (sense 2)): from French, via Latin from Greek hippodromos, from hippos 'horse' + dromos 'race, course'. The early sense led to the term's use as a grandiose name for a modern circus, later applied to other places of popular entertainment
I remember growing up in Europe in the late 60's and early 70's seeing this word occasionally on big old buildings. I remember a particular wreck of a building in Wiesbaden, Germany that now that I come to think of it must have been a hippodrome. I'm sure the good doctor can find some amusement with this word; it just does things to the mouth when spoken.

With summer's searing wrath upon us, it's time to prepare and prioritize your weekend getaway wish list. And whether you're planning a romantic rendezvous, a trip with the girls or a family expedition, packing wisely is always the challenge.
Packing 101: Here are some tips to help you become a more efficient packer:
Good things come in small packages
Absolute truth: no matter how big the suitcase, you'll fill it! Save yourself the temptation and aggravation by settling on a smaller bag. With less space, you'll find yourself putting more thought into what you're packing, and how you're packing (i.e., if bringing heels, remember to place them in the middle of the bag, heels facing in).
Rolling articles up tends to keep them from getting too wrinkled during the trek.
Think, and then pack
Plan ahead. Once you've decided on your itinerary, pack accordingly. If you're on the fence, be a minimalist — to do otherwise spells big trouble, and big suitcases. Go with your gut; your initial instinct bears out more often than not.
Simplicity and versatility are key
It's not a costume party. Think comfortable chic. Color coordination is key, so stick to two to three different colors; this way you have the option of mixing and matching your items without reconciling palettes or patterns. (Neutrals are always a safe bet; however, don't be afraid to spice things up with some trendy pastel pieces for layering.).
Try before you buy
Run a beta test. With limited space, you want to be sure that the items you pack are the items you're going to be happy with once you arrive. Pairing your outfits from head to shoes before departing will save you from a mini fashion crisis. It's better to bring more tops than bottoms: not only are they smaller and easier to pack, but unlike bottoms, you can't be a repeat offender.
Let these guidelines serve as your mantra as you blissfully plan that weekend away. The moral of the story is: simple is better, and everything is good in moderation. Keep that in mind, and you'll experience packing rapture (or at least avoid that pre-departure anxiety attack).

Royals ride big first inning to win third straight
KANSAS CITY -- What's going on here? A winning streak? That's a radical change from a year ago, certainly.
The Royals won their third straight game, 7-4, over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. At this point in the 2012 season the Royals had dropped three in a row and were headed for 12 consecutive losses, 10 of them at home.
"Yeah, I mean we're playing pretty good baseball right now," manager Ned Yost said.
Starter Jeremy Guthrie survived three solo home runs and got his second victory in two starts. He's the first Royals pitcher to make 13 straight starts without a loss since Kevin Appier did it in 1994-95.
Closer Greg Holland, coming off two rough games at Philadelphia, survived a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning and notched his second save.
And, eight games into the season, the Royals found themselves leading the American League Central, a half-game ahead of Chicago and Detroit.
Guthrie got his second victory in two starts, pitching into the seventh inning despite not having his best stuff.
"I gave them every opportunity to take good swings on me and when they did, they capitalized. They didn't miss many pitches," Guthrie said.
Joe Mauer, a Royals tormentor of long-standing, got the Twins on the board in the first inning by dropping a home run down the left-field line and just over the wall. The homer gives Mauer 10 home runs, 89 RBIs and a .355 average in his 118 games against Kansas City.
The Royals, though, roared back with five straight hits that resulted in five runs in their half of the first. The victim was right-hander Mike Pelfrey, who was being supported by folks who came in from his hometown of Wichita, Kan.
"We have a lot of confidence in our lineup," Guthrie said. "It doesn't surprise us when we see it but we hope to see it all year long. We've got guys one through nine that handle the bat, hit for power, hit line drives, have speed so hopefully that's something we'll see a lot this year."
Pelfrey, a 6-foot-7 former Mets starter, was less than a year removed from Tommy John surgery but won his first start for the Twins last Thursday. This outing was not so pleasant, and, in fact, lasted just two innings.
Alex Gordon began the Royals' onslaught with a single, then came Alcides Escobar's single, Billy Butler's RBI double, Mike Moustakas' run-scoring single and Salvador Perez's RBI double which was nearly caught by center fielder Darin Mastroianni. That was three runs and Eric Hosmer's ground-out and Lorenzo Cain's single accounted for two more.
When Gordon tripled to lead off the second inning and scored on Escobar's single, the Royals were up, 6-2.
"You want to get those hits with guys on baseball so hopefully we can keep that rolling," Butler said. "It's been a lot of fun so far."
The Royals got a seventh run in the third off reliever Anthony Swarzak on Hosmer's single and Jeff Francoeur's double, but the Twins kept nipping at Guthrie as Josh Willingham and Eduardo Escobar banged home runs.
Left-hander Tim Collins took over from Guthrie, got through the eighth inning and presented the three-run lead to Holland.
"I thought he did fine, let's be fair," Yost said. "It was pouring down rain, mud clogged all over his shoes. It was difficult circumstances, and he got through it."
Holland got Trevor Plouffe on a line drive that Gordon, slogging back in left field, caught on his fingertips. Chris Parmelee walked and pinch-hitter Wilkin Ramirez fanned. But Escobar blooped a single and Mastroianni walked to load the bases.
Up came the ever-dangerous Mauer.
"We had our best hitter up there at the end. It was pouring rain, but they were still hooting and hollering in the dugout," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We'll take that chance. We just needed one big hit and that's pretty good after the way it started."
As the rain came down, Holland struck out Mauer on six pitches.
"If I'd have thrown strikes earlier, I wouldn't have got so wet, so it was kind of my own fault," Holland said. "The mound wasn't that bad, I didn't think. I didn't have that much of a problem with the footing. I kind of slipped a few times but the biggest thing was the ball was getting kind of wet at the end, so I had to put it in my glove instead of holding it in my hand. But really that didn't affect it much."
Meantime, Kelvin Herrera had been warming up in the bullpen.
Yost's plan?
"I just had him up," Yost said. "We were going to see what happened with Mauer and just go hitter to hitter. But the circumstances would have been just as difficult for Herrera as they were for Holland."
As it turned out, Herrera wasn't needed. And a winning streak was sneaking into view.

Twins' bats stay red hot in matinee win over Tigers
Pino fans six over five frames to pick up victory as the 26th man
MINNEAPOLIS -- After becoming the first team in the Majors to score 20 runs in a game on Friday night, it would've been easy for the Twins to ease up heading into their split doubleheader against the Tigers on Saturday.
Instead, the Twins picked up right where they left off, as the offense again pounded the Tigers in a 12-4 win in the first game of the twin bill at Target Field. Minnesota racked up 14 hits and six walks, as Chris Parmelee was the only Twins position player without a hit.
"Baseball goes like that sometimes," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Hitting is contagious. You can feel it in the dugout. These guys are anxious to go up there and swing. It happens sometimes."
After scoring 20 runs on 20 hits on Friday, the Twins knocked around Tigers right-hander Buck Farmer, who became the second straight Detroit starting pitcher to last just 1 1/3 innings.
Kennys Vargas paced the offense with a career-high five RBIs, while Joe Mauer and Jordan Schafer added three RBIs apiece. Eduardo Escobar also picked up three hits a day after setting a career-high with five hits.
"It's fun," Mauer said. "I've been on both sides of those -- and it's a lot more fun on our side. Hopefully, we can keep it going. Guys are having good at-bats up and down the lineup. When that happens, it's a lot of fun."
Minnesota scored in a hurry in the first inning on an RBI single by Mauer that scored Brian Dozier from first base, as he was running on the pitch.
The Twins broke out for six more runs in the second, chasing Farmer after he recorded just one out in the inning. Minnesota loaded the bases with nobody out and Schafer brought home three runs with a triple.
After Danny Santana struck out, Dozier walked before Mauer plated Schafer and Dozier with a double to left field. Reliever Pat McCoy replaced Farmer, but promptly served up an RBI double to Vargas to give the Twins their third inning with at least six runs scored in the series.
"I was just working behind hitters," Farmer said. "I think that was the thing that was most disappointing from my perspective, the fact that they needed me to go longer than I did."
The Twins padded their lead with two more runs in the third inning. Dozier brought home the first run with a double down the left-field line to knock McCoy out of the game. Reliever Kyle Lobstein came in for his Major League debut and intentionally walked Mauer to load the bases for Vargas, who came through with a sacrifice fly.
The offense backed right-hander Yohan Pino, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make the start as the club's 26th player on the roster. Pino went five innings, giving up four runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks to get his second career big league win.
"It was good to have the team score so many runs," Pino said. "It helped me feel comfortable."
The Tigers scored in the second on an RBI double by Nick Castellanos, who was thrown out at third trying to stretch it to a triple. They scored three unearned runs in the fifth, keyed by a throwing error by Dozier on a forceout play at second base.
All three runs in the fifth came with two outs on three straight RBI singles by Ian Kinsler, Ezequiel Carrera and Miguel Cabrera. But Pino was able to get out of a bases-loaded jam to end the inning.
"Pino battled really hard," Gardenhire said. "He got through it."
The Twins broke the game wide open in the seventh, as Vargas connected on a three-run double off Lobstein to right-center field.
"I try to be more focused with men on base, because it's very important for the team to put the ball in play," Vargas said. "I try to make contact and I think middle all the time. I hit that one good."
The rookie has 22 RBIs in 21 career games, which is the most since Albert Pujols had 22 RBIs in his first 21 career games in 2001 with the Cardinals.
"He's swinging the bat great," Mauer said. "He puts together good at-bats and is driving in runs. So that's always nice to see."

What comes first to your mind when you think about girls' education? There may be a good chance that you remember a particular girl you met who could not go to primary school. Or perhaps you will visualize one of those great pictures of smiling and studious girls attending primary school in a developing country thanks to a particular project or intervention.
Both pictures are correct, but they account for only a small part of the story.
More attention needs to be given to what happens before and after primary school. For girls and young women to acquire the skills they need, five steps – suggested by the World Bank's STEP framework – are needed. The good news is that at each step, we have a good idea of which interventions can help girls fulfill their potential.
First, give girls a strong foundation through early childhood development (ECD). Disadvantages built early in life are difficult to remedy, but effective ECD programs can avoid such disadvantages and thereby yield high payoffs. ECD programs build the technical, cognitive, and behavioral skills conducive to high productivity later in life. Successful interventions emphasize, among other areas, nutrition, stimulation, and basic cognitive skills.
A new study suggests that in Jamaica, 20 years after an ECD intervention was conducted, the average earnings of beneficiaries – boys and girls - were 42% higher than those of the control group. While such large gains might not be obtained if all children were benefiting from such interventions, which is the ultimate aim, it is nevertheless clear that early psychosocial stimulation can substantially improve future earnings.
The second step focuses on basic education. Gaps remain, to be sure: Data from a forthcoming paper suggest that in 24 low-income countries, only 34% of girls in the poorest 20% of households complete primary school, compared with 72% of girls in the richest 20% of households. These income-related gaps can be reduced through interventions to reduce the opportunity cost of schooling for girls, such as conditional cash transfers.
In Yemen, one such new program targeting girls in grades 4-9 in disadvantaged communities is reaching close to 40,000 girls. In addition to increasing enrollment and attendance, we also need to ensure that all girls who go to school can learn—by building stronger schooling systems with clear learning standards, good teachers, adequate resources, and a proper regulatory environment that emphasizes accountability.
But learning for what? Education for its own sake certainly has an intrinsic value, but education and training that proves useful in the workplace is also essential. The third step in helping girls grow is to provide them with job-relevant skills that employers actually demand, or that they can use in launching their own business.
Many countries have achieved (or are making rapid progress toward) gender parity in basic education. By contrast, labor force participation in most developing countries remains substantially lower for young women than men. In India, Nigeria and South Africa, more than three-quarters of all girls aged 15-24 are not engaged in paid work and are not looking for work. And according to the International Income Distribution Database, nearly 40% of young women globally are either unemployed or 'idle' (not in education, nor work). In addition are the millions of young women who are engaged in unpaid or unproductive work.
Clearly, this represents a significant loss to their families as well as to economic growth. How can we get young women into productive work? According to new research conducted as part of the World Bank's Adolescent Girls' Initiative, a program in Liberia that provided girls age 16-27 with life skills, training, and job placement assistance increased employment by nearly 50%, and nearly doubled incomes. The program also had positive impacts on self-confidence, satisfaction with job outcomes, and household food security.
Step four relates to the creation of an environment that encourages investments in knowledge and creativity. This requires innovation-specific skills and investments to help connect people with ideas, as well as risk management tools that facilitate innovation. Again, girls are at a disadvantage when compared with boys, with fewer opportunities and, therefore, lower rates of entrepreneurship in many countries.
A new program in Uganda run by the nongovernmental organization BRAC provides girls age 14-20 with a safe space, life skills training, and livelihoods training for self-employment based on local market conditions. This program generated significant income gains from self-employment with no adverse effects on schooling outcomes. In addition, childbearing among beneficiaries declined, the proportion of girls using condoms increased, and the incidence of forced sex decreased.
Finally, and this is the fifth and last step, it is important that societies promote flexible, efficient, and secure labor markets. Apart from avoiding rigid job protection regulations while strengthening income protection systems, providing intermediation services for workers and firms is important to transform skills into actual employment and productivity.
This matters even more for girls than for boys, as girls are often more constrained and have limited access to opportunities, which in turn can lead to diminished expectations. But this can be overcome, at least in part, by providing information on how markets really work. For example, research suggests that women who were shown videos of other women working in traditionally male occupations, such as auto repair, and who were told that wages were higher in such fields, were more likely to choose and enroll in training in those traditionally male-dominated fields.
When thinking about girls' education, there's nothing wrong with picturing primary schools. But to help girls succeed in life, this is not enough: We need to pay equal attention to what happens before and after primary school. Girls and young women entering the 21st century job market will need skills and knowledge that can be developed only throughout their lifetime. They need our support at every step along the way.

Excellent! I applaud the
Excellent! I applaud the author of this article and agree wholeheartedly with the authors 5 points, however I have just one point to make. Unless the issues surrounding the attitudes towards women are addressed in those countries who allow young girls to be forced into marriage, the young girls will still be too frightened to step out of the shadows of the elders in their families who have the belief that women are merely chattels, to enter into the exciting and freedom giving world of education.

Girls do not have equal access to education and educational institutions as observed in low attendance rate, high drop-outs, low completion rates and repetition rates in schools and colleges. Though the educational enrolment in formal school especially in elementary level shows an increasing trend, it reverses in the upper primary level and higher secondary level.

Wind turbine installations will probably stall in 2013 as policy uncertainty, financing difficulties and delayed grid connections weigh down on projects, Suzlon Energy Chairman Tulsi Tanti said.
Tanti said he expects about 45 gigawatts of installations worldwide this year, little changed from the 44.8 gigawatts of turbines Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates were built in 2012. The London-based analyst forecasts the market to drop to 39.3 gigawatts this year. Suzlon expects its share to total 4 gigawatts, he said.
"The industry will be flat," Tanti said in an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos. "The last two years, the wind industry has been really passing through a difficult time because of overcapacity, uncertainty in a lot of the markets' policy framework, and the availability of financing."
Turbine manufacturers from Vestas Wind Systems, the biggest, to Suzlon, India's largest, have struggled to make profits as overcapacity depressed prices. Suzlon on January 24 said lenders approved a 95 billion-rupee ($1.7 billion) debt-restructuring plan and a two-year payment moratorium after the Pune-based company on October 11 failed to pay $209 million, India's biggest convertible note default.
US incentives
Turbine makers haven't been helped by uncertainty surrounding government incentives in big markets including the US and India, Tanti said. Grid-connection problems from Germany to China have also stalled projects.
The US late on January 1 renewed the production tax credit, which pays wind-farm owners 2.2 cents for every kilowatt-hour of power they produce. Developers had rushed projects to completion ahead of its anticipated December 31 expiration, and without certainty for 2013, had few new farms planned.
"It's too late for such a capital goods industry to ramp up," Tanti said.
The executive also signaled he expects the Indian government to bring back incentives to the industry next month, after the market in that country "collapsed by 40 per cent" when assistance programs were ended last year. Suzlon has a 40 per cent to 50 per cent share in the Indian market, he said.
Offshore growth
Aside from the biggest markets, countries where the industry looks promising include Canada, Australia, Mexico and South Africa, Tanti said. The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are also looking good as "second-tier" markets, he said.
Tanti was more optimistic about offshore wind, which he said he expects to grow by 30 per cent per year for the next five years, led by the U.K. and Germany, with China and Japan following. Suzlon's Repower unit currently has a 6.15 megawatt offshore wind turbine, the biggest available.
"This sector is very very promising," Tanti said. "Offshore wind is doing well, but a lot of projects are delayed because of the financial situation and some of the grid infrastructure."

If you modify the text using some script, and then undo it, the cursor may not return to the place where it was before the script was run (called). This comes from the fact that when Vim performs an undo, it restores the position to where the change happened, and not where the cursor was before the change. For example:
:3 :6,7d u
The cursor will be on line 6, not line 3.
Say you have a function
func() that changes the text. Cursor is somewhere before the calling. You can insert
normal ix normal x
in the beginning of the function/script (before other changes). Then when the script returns, an undo will restore the cursor position to the place right before
func() is called. With the above two lines before any other changes to be made by the function, the following effect is achieved:
" cursor is now at linenr, colnr :call func() u " cursor is now restored at linenr, colnr
Without the "fake" change, undo will go to a position closest to where the first change is made by the function/script, not where the cursor was when the function is called.
