The Guidance program at Elyria Catholic High School supports and furthers the mission of Elyria Catholic High School. It is created upon the principles of the American School Counseling Association (ASCA) national model of nine standards grouped within three domains: the academic, college/career and personal/social. We frame our work with a vision of each student achieving a successful first year of college. We want our students to walk on the college campus that is the right fit for their unique selves, prepared to:
• Challenge themselves academically and be able to manage their learning process independently
• To take advantage of the opportunities college has to offer
• To create connections with peers and professors
• To make choices of classes, careers or in relationships-that reflect each student's integrity and positively impact his/her growth and development
In order for us to be of the most help in accomplishing the above, we need to get to know and understand our students over time, and the counselors stay with the students from 9th to 12th grade.

Classroom Guidance
A Guidance presentation is provided to students during the Freshman Orientation. Counselors explain the importance of taking courses of rigor and present an overview of the career exploration/college search process. Also, we discuss the social/emotional/behavioral challenges of adolescence and the support system provided by the EC Community.
A Safe Dating curriculum is presented in Health classes.
Counselors also use Naviance to explore students strengths and how that could help to explore potential careers.
Counselors administer a career exploration questionnaire to sophomores through Naviance. After completing the 180 question assessment, the students are given their Holland Code and asked to explore careers that are related to their personality.
Juniors are asked to research five different colleges through Naviance as well as add the colleges to their "colleges I'm thinking about" list.
Seniors receive instructions regarding procedures for applying to colleges: application process, transcript requests, letters of recommendation and scholarships. A graduation survey will be administered at the end of the year to gain an understanding of where the students will be attending and how much scholarship money they received.
Individual Guidance
We meet with students a minimum of once each year and more often as needed/requested. We welcome students (and parents) to come to us with any questions or concerns. Typical issues are: academic struggles, course selection, the college and career search process and social/emotional issues.
Standardized Tests (college prep)
In October students will take either the ASPIRE in 9th grade or the PSAT in grades 10 & 11. Counselors meet with students in the classroom to explain test results and to assist students in utilizing the ACT/World of Work (ASPIRE) and My College Quick Start (PSAT) for career/major/college research. These tests serve as practice tests as well as provide valuable information on projected student performance on the ACT/SAT college entrance exams.

FORT HOOD — This weekend was about honoring military retirees, a group of Americans who are truly special, said Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr., commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, during the opening ceremony of Fort Hood's 38th annual Retiree Appreciation Day.
"They represent what's great about our country and our military," he said. "This group of citizens truly understands, better than most, what sacrifice means."
Held at Club Hood just after the Old Timer's Breakfast on Saturday morning, the ceremony welcomed retirees with presentations from the Noncommissioned Officers Academy and the Army surgeon general, as well as thanking those who made the two-day event possible.
"The Retiree Council worked very hard to ensure we recognize and honor those of you with us," Campbell said.
More than 3,000 retirees were expected to visit Fort Hood from across the state to participate in events geared to inform, educate and benefit retired military service members.
"It's always great," said retired Command Sgt. Maj. Jose T. Cruz, of Killeen, who was attending the event for the 30th time. "This is a good program, because it helps the retirees out of this area. Some come from Dallas. They come in and get an update of what they need to do. They don't have to make an appointment, they can just go and get a service."
Everything from identification cards to flu shots were available on post Saturday. A golf tournament was held Friday, as well as a dinner, so many retirees come to town and make a weekend out of it.
"I needed a vacation," said Jess Ochoa, retired Army. He drove about 150 miles from Lancaster to attend the event once again.
"I like to come out here and enjoy the speeches and everything else," he said.
Ochoa and other retirees commented on the NCO Academy's presentation, "I Am a Sergeant," which included soldiers dressed in the Army uniforms from the Revolutionary War to today's Army Combat Uniform and blue service uniform.
The guest speaker for the morning was Lt. Gen. Patricia Horoho, Army Surgeon General.
"It's an honor for me to express personal gratitude for all that have served," she said. Veterans, no matter what war or branch of the military they served in, are connected by an understanding that spans every generation, she said.
"It's the shared experience of defending our nation," Horoho said. "Our retirees are an integral piece in understanding our Army families around the world."
She then shared with the audience the changes and research under way at Army Medicine to improve the force, such as embedded mental health professionals at the brigade combat team level, opening medical homes off-post within military communities and incorporating patient-centered care. These programs are already in practice at Fort Hood, but new research discussed could change the approach to soldier health using the areas of sleep, activity level and nutrition.
"By improving active-duty health now, (we hope) it is maintained in the future," Horoho said.
After the ceremony, retirees spent the rest of the day at the County Fair, which included nearly 40 organizations, and the Health Fair hosted by Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center. There were also plenty of opportunities for veterans to mingle.
"I'm always happy I can still come out," said Cruz, while passing out information at the Retired Enlisted Association's table at the County Fair. "To meet people and be active is very important."
Fort Hood's Retiree Appreciation Day is held every year during the last weekend of October.

So during the beta, I had made a male warlock and a friend made a female titan on my account. As I was playing the male warlock, there was occasionally some person who would stop by and spam emotes with me, and we would have ourselves a little dance party. My friend then began playing as the female titan. Mere seconds after he spawned at the tower after the intro mission, at least five or six other guardians (all male characters) stopped by and tried to have a dance party. Following this, I did an experiment, and what I found was: In the time it took the male character to have 5 separate dance parties (with each unique individuals), the female character had 12. Out of the 5 times the male character sat down, one other guardian sat down with me. Out of the 5 times the female character sat down, a total of 7 other guardians sat down with me. Out of 10 wave attempts at other guardians, 4 waved back to the male guardian. Out of 10 wave attempts at other guardians, 11 (some people waved back that I didn't even wave to) waved back to the female guardian. The conclusion of this experiment: Ya'll thirsty. EDIT: forgot to mention this. After experimenting, I simply ran and jumped off the edge of the tower with the female Guardian............. And everyone came with me

Like other Microsoft® Office applications, Microsoft Outlook includes an object model and the Visual Basic® for Application (VBA) editor that can be used to manipulate the object model. Outlook also includes the ability to develop custom forms and fields that, when combined with the object model, can be used to develop custom solutions. Microsoft product support professional Bill Jacob deals daily with customers who build Outlook solutions. Based on the direct customer feedback he receives, Bill has compiled the following responses to common questions that Outlook solution developers often ask.
Note All information in this article also applies to Microsoft Outlook 2000, but links contained in this article reference Microsoft Outlook 2002 resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
I am new to developing Outlook solutions; is there a good place to start learning how to do this?
Absolutely! The best place to start is the Office Developer Center, which is where this FAQ is posted. See the article Developing Solutions with Outlook 2002, which provides a general overview of Outlook development. Also, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Resources for Custom Forms and Programming for a list of Web sites, articles, books, and magazines that focus on Outlook solution development.
What are the various approaches for creating Outlook solutions?
There are at least four main approaches to developing Outlook solutions. One is to use Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) or a Component Object Model (COM) add-in to automate the Outlook application itself. The second approach is to use Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) to develop interactive Outlook forms. The third approach involves using a COM-compliant language such as Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C++® to automate Outlook using the Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library. The fourth approach is to associate a custom HTML page with an Outlook folder, much like a digital dashboard. In addition, you can interact with other components such as a Microsoft SQL Server database, Microsoft Exchange Server, or other programs.
In general, an Outlook solution involves manipulating the user interface (either Outlook's built-in forms or new custom forms), creation of some programming code (either VBA, VBScript, or a COM-based language), and any extra interaction with outside components such as a database or mail server.
What are the different approaches to Outlook security?
You must consider many different aspects of security when developing an Outlook solution. Such aspects include Outlook attachment behavior, the Outlook object model, Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), Simple Messaging Application Programming Interface (Simple MAPI), and other general issues such as security zone settings.
As an Outlook solutions developer, you should consider your security needs based on your target customers. If your customers are internal then you may wish to reduce some of the security levels.
The first type of security is related to VBScript in Outlook custom forms. This type of security has existed since the first version of Outlook. When using a custom form, the VBScript (along with the entire form definition) can be stored either in a published location or within individual items. In order for the code to be trusted it must be in a published location. If the code is located directly within an item, when a user opens the item, Outlook will display a security warning and prompt the user either to enable or disable macros. For more information about VBScript-based code security, please see the Knowledge Base article OL2002: Why Outlook Displays a Security Warning Message When You Open an Item.
The second type of security parallels the VBA and COM add-in security models in other Office programs. To access this feature, click the Tools menu, point to Macros, and then click Security. One important difference in Outlook, however, is that VBA is not designed to be deployed, since VBA code is not stored in users' files such as Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and Microsoft PowerPoint® presentations. Also, the Outlook object model does not allow you to automate the Visual Basic Editor to deploy code, so the risk of VBA-related security issues is generally less of a concern in Outlook than in other Office programs.
The third type of security, however, affects all types of solutions, since it is directly integrated into the Outlook object model. Designed to prevent the spread viruses through e-mail, this security feature was originally released as an update to Outlook 2000 Service Release (SR) 1, and was then included in Outlook 2000 Service Pack (SP) 2 and Outlook 2002. For more information about these newest security features, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Developer Information About E-Mail Security Features.
What is a custom form and how do I use one?
Outlook custom forms are based on VBA UserForms, but they operate quite differently from a form design perspective. Like many development environments, there is a clear distinction between data and the user interface. An Outlook item in a folder represents data much like a record in a database table. On the other hand, a form is the user interface that displays the data in a specific format.
Items and forms are linked by a field on an item called a message class. When Outlook opens an item, it checks the message class field and uses the form specified in that field. For example, a standard contact form uses the message class of IPM.Contact. When you create a custom form based on the standard Outlook contact form, you give it a name; this name serves to differentiate the custom form from the standard form. If the name of the custom form is "Business," then the message class used to represent that form is IPM.Contact.Business. For more information about message classes, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: How to Update Existing Items to Use a New Custom Form.
Outlook custom forms are published rather than saved. In Outlook, the term save relates to saving an item in a folder. However, forms are published in a location so that they can be used later or shared. If you create a folder-based solution, you typically publish the form into the folder that contains the solution. If you create a custom mail message form, you typically publish the form in the Microsoft Exchange Server Organizational Forms Library so that everyone has access to it. For more information about publishing forms, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: How to Determine Where to Publish a Form.
It is important to follow some best practices when designing Outlook forms. Most of these practices relate to the difference between data (items) and the user interface (forms).
- Form design process
To design an Outlook custom form, you must start with one of the default forms. You should not open an item in a folder and enter design mode. Instead, open a new item and then enter design mode. After making changes, publish the form. When you close the form, you are prompted to save changes. Although it may seem counterintuitive, you should always click No to this prompt because the form was just published and therefore stored. If you click Yes, Outlook will create an item in a folder, and this is not the desired result. To make further changes to a form, always open a new instance of the published form, make changes, and then republish. You should never open an item in a folder and enter a design mode; otherwise, existing data will be saved in the published form and other side effects may occur.
- Understanding fields and controls
When designing custom forms, it is important to realize that items contain fields to store data. Likewise, forms contain controls to display the data. Much like the message class field links an item to a form, you typically must link, or bind, a field to a control. If you just use the Control Toolbox to add controls to a form, the form will not preserve any data when an item is saved or sent because controls do not store data. For more information about using fields and controls, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Overview of Using Fields and Controls on Custom Forms.
- Outlook object model
After using the Outlook object model for a while, you will notice that many parts of the object model distinguish between data and the user interface. The terms explorer and inspector, for example, refer to an item's windows, while the term item refers to an object that represents the collection of fields. Also, the way you reference fields in the Outlook object model is quite different than the way you reference controls on a form.
What are custom fields?
Also known as a user-defined field, a custom field is a type of container in which you can store information of varying types. Custom fields can be created for folders, items, or forms. Custom fields work similarly to fields in a database table. However, the information they store is not relational, but rather stored in a somewhat flattened format. When creating a custom form, controls on the form can be bound to custom fields.
Custom fields can have the following data types:
|A string of alphanumeric characters.
|A numerical value that can be formatted in one of nine different formats.
|A percent value that can be formatted in one of four different formats.
|A dollar amount that can be formatted in one of two different formats.
|A true or false value that can be formatted in one of four different formats.
|A date, time, or date/time value that can be formatted in one of 13 different formats.
|A time duration value that can be formatted in one of four different formats.
|A text string that can be limited to certain words.
|A formula that combines fields and text fragments.
|A statement that uses fields or functions.
|A positive whole number that can be formatted in one of four different formats.
For more information about custom fields in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Working With User-Defined Fields in Solutions.
What is a one-off form?
A one-off form is a customized form that contains its own form definition information. You may want to use this type of form when you cannot publish your custom form to the Organizational Forms Library on a Microsoft Exchange Server. The form definition includes information about the components of the custom form. You can specify that a form is a one-off by setting the Send form definition with item checkbox in the form's Properties page in design mode.
For more information about one-off forms in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Working with Forms Definitions and One-Off Forms.
How do I import data from an Access database and insert it into an Outlook custom field?
Although Outlook has a built-in data import and export feature, it does not support the importing and exporting of custom fields. To import data from a Microsoft Access database and insert it into an Outlook custom field, you will need to write programming code. You will need to use a data access component such as ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) to extract the information from Access. Then, using the Outlook 10.0 Object Library, insert the information into an Outlook object such as a contact or some other item. You can use several different approaches to accomplish this, such as writing code in an Access module to push the data into Outlook, or writing code in an Outlook module to pull the data from Access.
For more information about importing Access data in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: How To Programmatically Import Outlook Items from Microsoft Access.
How do I export data from an Outlook custom field and insert it into an Access database?
To export custom field data from Outlook and store it in an Access database, you also need to write some programming code. Here again you will use the Outlook 10.0 Object Library to extract data from an Outlook object. Then, using a data access component like ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), make a connection to an Access database and insert the data into a table.
For more information about exporting Outlook data to an Access database in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: How To Programmatically Export Outlook Items to Microsoft Access.
How do I print a form?
Outlook can only print forms using options that are available in the Print dialog box. While you can customize the print style settings using the options provided in the Define Print Styles dialog box, you cannot change the basic format that Outlook uses for displaying forms. In addition, the Outlook object model does not provide any methods or properties for changing a form's print format.
There are a number of approaches to customizing the print format of forms, depending on the form type and the print mode. One approach is to simply use ALT+PRINT SCREEN to copy the image to the Clipboard, and then paste the contents of the Clipboard into another program to print the form. Another approach is to create a custom report programmatically by using the Outlook 10.0 Object Library to extract the desired information, and then use another object model like the Word 10.0 Object Library to create a document with the desired Outlook data.
For more information about printing forms in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Outlook Does Not Print Forms as Expected.
What is the Outlook object model and how do I use it?
The Outlook Object Model is a set of programmatic interfaces that allow to you automate certain features of Outlook using programming code. To use the Outlook object model, you must first set a reference to the Outlook 10.0 Object Library. If you are using the VBA editor that is built-in with Outlook, this reference is already set for you. Once you have set a reference to the Outlook object model, you can then write programming code to create an instance of Outlook and begin working with common Outlook components such as folders, e-mail messages, and contacts. The following example demonstrates the use of VBA code to open an instance of Outlook and display the number of messages currently in the Inbox:
Private Sub CountInboxMessages() 'This procedure displays a message box that indicates the number of 'messages currently in the Inbox. Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace Dim objMAPIFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder Set objOutlook = New Outlook.Application Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace(Type:="MAPI") Set objMAPIFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) MsgBox "You have " & objMAPIFolder.Items.Count & _ " messages in your Inbox.", vbInformation Set objMAPIFolder = Nothing Set objNamespace = Nothing Set objOutlook = Nothing End Sub
For more information about using the Outlook object model in Outlook solutions, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Programming Examples for Referencing Items and Folders.
How do I deploy a custom solution?
You can use a variety of means to create a custom Outlook solution. How you deploy the solution depends largely on how the solution is designed and who the intended audience is that will be using it. Some of the more common scenarios include the following:
- Custom mail message forms
Custom mail message forms need to be available to everyone in the organization and therefore should typically be published in the Organizational Forms Library on a Microsoft Exchange Server. As long as you don't integrate custom components that are not available on the users' computers, you do not need to worry about installing any additional components.
- Custom folder solutions within the organization
These types of solutions are typically created in public folders on an Exchange Server. The ideal solution would be to create the folder in the location that it will eventually be used, and then limit permissions to the folder to only developers. When the solution is complete, you then give the users permissions on the folder and send a notification that it is available. An alternative is to create the folder in your own mailbox or in a Personal Folders file, and then copy the folder to the public folder hierarchy after completing the solutions. However, some types of items may behave differently in a public folder, so it is safer to develop the folder in the environment in which it will be used. In particular, tasks behave differently depending on whether they are stored in a public folder or a personal folder. In a public folder, tasks cannot be assigned to another person.
- Custom folder solutions outside the organization
If you are developing a folder-based solution that needs to be deployed to another company, you can transfer the folder by storing it in a Personal Folders file (.pst). To do this, first add a Personal Folder file to your set of Outlook folders. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Outlook Data File. Then copy the public folder into the new set of folders in your folder list. To close the Personal Folders file, right-click the top-most folder and then click Close. Be sure to exit Outlook before trying to move the .pst file. Once the .pst file is copied to the other company's machine, open it using the same procedure as above. Then copy the folder to the public folder store, and close the .pst file so Outlook does not continue to try to open it.
- Folder deployments
If you need to deploy one or more folders to another organization or to standalone computers, you can create a solution to do this using the Outlook object model. Beginning with Outlook 2000, you can use the AddStore and RemoveStore methods to add and remove Personal Folders files from the MAPI profile. Therefore, if your folder solution is stored in a Personal Folders file, you can programmatically:
- Add the Personal Folders file to the profile using the AddStore method.
- Use the MAPIFolder.CopyTo method to copy the folder to its destination location.
- Remove the Personal Folders file from the profile using the RemoveStore method.
- Outlook Visual Basic for Applications
Unlike other Microsoft Office programs that support Visual Basic for Applications, Outlook Visual Basic for Applications code was not designed to be deployed; rather, it is considered to be a personal development environment. If you need to deploy an application-level solution, you should use the COM add-in architecture instead, and then you can create a setup program to deploy the COM add-in. For more information about VBA project files in Outlook, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: Code Does Not Work After You Distribute a VBA Project. For more information about COM add-ins with Outlook, please see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article OL2002: How to Create a COM Add-in for Outlook.
Some other issues to keep in mind when deploying Outlook solutions are:
- An Outlook folder should be considered similar to a Visual Basic project—it stores an entire solution. For a folder-based solution, always copy the entire folder. This will ensure that all of the forms, views, fields, and folder properties are copied. If you publish only the custom form to another folder, problems and side effects may occur.
- Exchange and Outlook do not provide functionality to distribute ActiveX components, so if you use custom controls or components on an Outlook form, you must deploy these components.
- Many Outlook solutions use the Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) object model to provide MAPI-related functionality. However, CDO is not installed by default by Office setup, so you must ensure that it is installed on the end users' computers before you try to use it. Note that while many features in Office can be installed on demand, CDO cannot be installed on demand.

Slumping Cougars see chance to pounce
Ducks come in almost defenseless
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, February 11, 2009
PULLMAN -- The cold and flu season has arrived in the Palouse, so the timing seems perfect for Washington State's basketball team to receive a get-well remedy.
The slump-ridden Cougars, coming off one of their best offensive performances of the season, face one of the worst defensive teams in the nation Thursday night when Oregon visits Friel Court.
The young, rebuilding Ducks are last in the Pac-10, have lost 11 in a row and rank near the back in NCAA Division I in such statistics as points allowed (76.0 per game), field-goal shooting percentage defense (48.3), 3-point field-goal percentage defense (39.3), turnovers (15.4) and personal fouls (21.2).
That plays right into the hands of the Cougars, who need all the help they can get offensively, but rank first in the nation in fewest points allowed (54.5), sixth in free-throw shooting (77.5 percent), eighth in turnovers (11.2) and fifth in personal fouls (14.6). Rankings are based on stats through Sunday.
When Washington State beat Oregon 74-62 last month in Eugene, the Ducks committed 23 fouls and the Cougars set a Pac-10 record by sinking all 28 of their free throws.
Since then, the Cougars have gone 1-5. They've lost three straight and slipped into a three-way tie for seventh place in the Pac-10, two games behind surging Arizona with seven league games to go.
The top six Pac-10 finishers receive a first-round bye in the conference tournament.
The Cougars are coming off a 71-63 loss to California, but they shot 56 percent from the field (47 percent on 3-pointers). Four players scored in double figures for the first time in conference play.
"Maybe that'll help our confidence going into the next couple of games," senior forward Caleb Forrest said.
"Confidence is a funny thing. You can never quite understand when it's going to come and when it's going to go."
TIP-INS: The Cougars (12-11, 4-7 Pac-10) are 6-6 at home after a 5-0 start. ... In the past four games, WSU freshman Klay Thompson has nailed 15 of 25 3-pointers (60 percent) and averaged 17.3 points. He's second in the Pac-10 with 49.1 percent shooting on treys in league games. ... Tajuan Porter leads Oregon (6-17, 0-11), averaging 14.7 points and a league-leading 2.8 treys per game. He's averaged 19 points the past six games, but he can be a defensive liability at 5 feet 6. ... The battle for WSU scoring honors remains tight among Taylor Rochestie (12.6), Thompson (12.5) and Aron Baynes (12.4). ... Rochestie leads the Pac-10 with 40.5 minutes played per league game. ... The Cougars rank last among 330 Division I teams with 3.8 steals per game and 275th in 3-point percentage defense at 36.0. ... The initial arraignment for WSU guard Mike Harthun on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges has been delayed again, this time to March 5. ... A loss to Oregon would drop the Cougars' overall record to .500 for the first time since Feb. 16, 2006.

Busable Wellington
In response to a reader request, here are the same bus service maps as for Auckland. Again, click for big PDF files so you can zoom in. I think these include non-bus transit, but I'm not completely sure.
Hours per day with at least six transit trips within 500m
Hours per day with at least 12 transit trips within 500m
In the Wellington region it seems that people who have any bus service have a useful amount.
The region as a whole has a smaller proportion of people with good public transport than Auckland region (7% in the top category, 60% in the bottom), but if we restrict to Wellington City there are 17% in the top category, 26% in the next, and only 30% in the lowest.
[Update: Here's a version with a 1km distance instead of 500m]
Thomas Lumley (@tslumley) is Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Auckland. His research interests include semiparametric models, survey sampling, statistical computing, foundations of statistics, and whatever methodological problems his medical collaborators come up with. He also blogs at Biased and Inefficient See all posts by Thomas Lumley »

it seems to only be buses, though it's hard to tell.
Question: if it's a count of transit services within 500m, and your spatial unit is the meshblock, how do you determine distance? From the centre of the meshblock? Any edge? A spatial intersection? I always make that clear when doing these types of analyses, given that a meshblock can be more than 500m.
Research also shows people are willing to walk further than 500m to reliable, high capacity and frequent transit, such as trains. All the park and rides at Wellington region train stations are at capacity, too. Wellington has a higher transit mode share than Auckland
Richard Law
Pardon, I did read the Auckland post after writing my comment, promptly felt a little silly, but could not find a way to edit it. I wonder how different a raster heat map of transit stop-visits with a distance decay would be. Of course you couldn't match it up with the census data and you still have the problem with Euclidean planar distance, but I feel the modifiable area unit problem bears even larger here.
A distance decay function could also take into account the number of seats for each mode. I doubt one train with 8 wagons is equivalent to one small bus in peoples' minds. Nice work though.
Richard Law
Something I made just quickly, as an idea. I don't think it's very useful, but I like trying new cartographic techniques. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ryJivU-nNcs/U0XyYmk2myI/AAAAAAAABIo/57_XtDsj3Cg/w1293-h693-no/stopcounts.png (Hopefully the link works.)

Some roads aren't going to get a useful amount because they just aren't made for buses

Just a Cheer...I am not lesbian, nor am I a mother, but I saw this group and I couldn't help but take a look and write a quick note. I just want to say, I think you all are awesome! Society as a whole, especially in some parts of the world, is so Homophobic that it seems like many people never come out, or have children, because they are afraid of what people might do to them. I think it is wonderful that you all are not only out, but are providing loving homes for children. I salute you, and wish you nothing but the best in all that you do. Thank you for doing the bravest thing that anyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or anything else can do--being yourself!
I'm with Avice on this -Ladies I applaud you, I might be straight but I sure not narrow-minded!
I am a single mom and a few months ago I started a relatioship with a wonderful women who makes me happy. I was afraid to tell anyone because I knew my family wouldn't accept it but I decided to tell my sister since we have always been very close and I thought she would support me. What happened was the complete opposite, she told me she was disgusted by me. She said she could not believe I was going to harm my daughter like this and that she would do anything to keep my daughter away from this. My partner is very loving and my daughter really likes her, I even feel like she is happier when she is around us but my sister constantly calls me and has comments like these. I don't see me hurting my daughter in any way but her words do hurt me. I want to know other lesbian mother's experiences. Thank you
That is great of you to say. I saw the begining of the post and thought that I was going to have to lace into someone. But I was pleased that it was a possitive message! God bless and thank you!
Lesbian mothers rock! Beign a mother is a tough job on it's own...when you add the societal pressures and homophobia,it leaves me with nothing but respect for these women who are bold enough to take the plunge
Wow!. Thank you. You have no idea how that feels to get support like that.
I Agree!

In my experience, if you want internal rate of return, then you also want time weighted return, for instance, and all of sudden it becomes surprising that NumPy tantalizes with a some of the needed capability but not all of it. I read in an old thread that irr was included partly because OLPC was including NumPy and it was great that kids would have a tool to help them understand the present value of money. In my opinion, cumprod() is an even better teaching tool for that. I'm not advocating reducing functionality in NumPy, but I prefer the idea of keeping NumPy as an array core, and having higher-level capability available as add-ons (scipy, scikit, etc...) -r

This was the definition of giving a game away. Every single
point the Cincinnati Bengals scored in a 34-13 win against the Eagles was the
direct result of a hilariously unacceptable mistake – and the act went
on just one minute into the game
• Second play from scrimmage: Jeremy Maclin is
tracked down from behind and has the football punched out by defensive end Carlos
Dunlap on a wide receiver screen. Cincinnati gains possession at the
Philadelphia 44-yard line, drives six plays for a touchdown. 7-0.
• Next series: Following a three-and-out, there is
some confusion getting the punt coverage unit on to the field with Clay Harbor running on late, so who knows whether they are even lined up correctly. Daniel Heron
drives Marvin McNutt backward into Mat McBriar, who winds up kicking the ball right off of his own man. The Bengals take over at Philly's 11, leading to an
easy field goal. 10-0.
Having watched this team all season, you got the feeling it
was already over right there, seven minutes in. The Birds fought back though,
and actually controlled the action for the equivalent of one half of football.
Nick Foles got the team on the board with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Riley
Cooper, while a pair of strip sacks of Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton by
Brandon Graham and Cullen Jenkins led to Alex Henery field goals.
You read correctly. The Eagles actually took a lead into the
locker room, one they still held 10 minutes into the second half. Then all of this happened in the span of
five plays from scrimmage.
• Midway through the third quarter: Eagles have good
field position at Cincinnati's 47. Nick Foles takes a shot downfield, but the
ball is criminally underthrown to Jeremy Maclin. Leon Hall makes the easy
interception, and returns it 40 yards into Philadelphia territory to set up
another short march. 17-13.
• Next drive, two plays later: Nobody blocks
defensive end Wallace Gilberry as he shoots right up the middle unattended. He
disrupts Foles' handoff to Bryce Brown, who has his eyes closed and has already
lost possession before there is even impact. Gilberry picks up the rock and
takes it in himself. 24-13.
• The very next play: Foles connects with Harbor on a sharply-threaded pass down the seam, where the target is greeted almost
immediately by defenders. Safety Chris Crocker puts his helmet on the ball then
recovers his own forced fumble, while a short return places them inside the red zone.
• The ensuing kickoff – seriously: Josh Brown
kicks the pigskin short and high in the air, sending it hurtling to earth into the breadbasket of Cedric Thornton on the coverage unit. He drops it, and
immediately boots it directly to Taylor Mays, who is already in field goal range.
All things considered, the defense played well. The front
four was the most active we've seen all season, sacking Dalton six times. Not
surprisingly, the coverage looked far better behind them, getting hands on
seven passes. It all took its toll on the second-year QB, who connected on 13
of 27 attempts for 127 yards, not to mention superstar wide receiver A.J.
Green, who was limited to six receptions for 57 yards. The two did connect for six
late in the game however on a goal-line pass that was nearly impossible for Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie to defend.
Unfortunately, the offense could not capitalize on a couple of opportunities
to put some distance between themselves and Cincinnati. Foles was 12 of 24
for 145 yards in the first half, and had managed not to get sacked at all, but
the Birds were only able to convert one of their three trips to the red zone
into a touchdown.
Then things got out of hand. Due to all the turnovers, Foles
only had nine more attempts in the final 30 minutes, as the Bengals dominated
time of possession nearly 38 to 22. The rookie finished 16 for 33 with 182 in a
hopeless situation. It didn't help that Brown was stifled for the second week
in a row, either. He gained 34 yards on 16 carries.
Those numbers were all pretty meaningless though compared to
the five turnovers and blocked punt that resulted in 34 points for their
opponents. Take away even half of those, and maybe this would have been a game.
Instead, it was a total humiliation.

Chelsea and Manchester United transfer target Edinson Cavani has stated that he will be holding talks with PSG at the end of the season in order to decide his future. Cavani came out to the media just before the Champions League quarter-finals and stated that he was not happy with his role at the club. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been the preferred striker since his move from AC Milan a few years ago. Despite coming to PSG for around £60 million, Cavani has been played out of position due to the presence of Ibrahimovic.
At 27 years of age, the Uruguayan is at the peak of his powers. It is not surprising that Manchester United have joined the list of Chelsea and Manchester City as his admirers. After managing to win the league title and the French Cup this season, Cavani has stated that he would discuss his future after the end of the campaign. According to Sky Sports, he said:
"My first season in France has been beautiful, despite all controversies around me. Will I stay at PSG next season? I will surely talk with the chairman, and with the club.
"If I have important things to say, I will do it in-house. I believe we will all do our best for things to go off smoothly."
PSG chairman Nasser al-Khelaifi stated a few days ago that Cavani was not for sale at any price. However, it is thought that the French outfit will be happy to sell him at around the £60 million mark following the latest developments in the UEFA FFP regulations. PSG are one of the big clubs to have failed to meet the FFP criteria. Since they have failed in a big way, the club are expected to be hit with a hefty fine and several restrictions.
One of the restrictions will prevent them from spending more than £ 60 million on a player, while their wage bill should also not exceed the current level. PSG, now, will be able to make a new signing only by the sale of a player and this could be Cavani.


text: On July 14, 2008 the United States started issuing a new travel credential called the U.S. passport card. The passport card gives residents of Texas, Vermont, Washington, Michigan and other border states a less expensive and more portable alternative to the traditional passport book. The card has the same period of validity as a passport book: 10 years for an adult, five for children 15 and younger. Adults who already have a fully valid passport book may apply for the card as a passport renewal and pay only $20. First-time applicants pay $45 for adult cards and $35 for children. This is less than half the cost of a U.S. passport book.

Construction is about to start on Highway 63's Cedar Creek Bridge
Fri, 25 Mar 2011 00:08:53 GMT —
Construction on Highway 63's Cedar Creek Bridge in Callaway County will began next Monday.
The bridge, which carries traffic between Jefferson City and Columbia, will be completely re-constructed
A couple of weeks into construction half the bridge will close completely, which will make for two lane traffic for about a mile.
But MoDOT said traffic delays shouldn't be too bad.
"We are going to keep our speed up a little bit higher. Instead of getting it down to 45 mph we are going to run it up to about 60 mph, Charles Sullivan MoDOT said. The intent is we feel we have very good location. It TMs flat, it's open, and it's straight. We ought to be able to get traffic in and out."
Electronic message boards will notify motorists of lane restrictions.
The bridge was originally constructed in 1968 and sits near the Boone / Callaway county line.

World Citizen: Democracy and the Eternal President
Frida Ghitis Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012
In recent years, democratic legitimacy has become a requirement for wielding power in an increasing number of countries. Populations that endured years of dictatorship now demand the right to elect their leaders. In a growing number of cases, however, politicians with authoritarian tendencies have found a way to game the system, extending their rule, seemingly indefinitely, while technically preserving their claim to democratic and constitutional lawfulness.
The most remarkable aspect of this new trend is how well it works, and how much it seems to be spreading. ...

It was an act of generosity that speaks volumes about the need for books in public schools. About 40,000 brand new donated books were handed out free to Bay Area teachers who work with low-income students on Saturday in a project mainly coordinated by United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) and First Book San Francisco, a literacy advocacy group that's part of a national network.
Educators lined up in San Francisco around the block (see photo) to get free books to give to their students so students can start building home libraries and begin appreciating the power and fun of reading. The San Francisco Chronicle covered the extraordinary event that was made possible by numerous sponsors and more than 100 volunteers. It was also supported by the American Federation of Teachers.

We all know that reading is the foundation of learning and needs to be highlighted more than just once a year to make a lasting impression. A study from the National Institute for Literacy found that a person who is not at least a modestly-skilled reader by the end of third grade is quite unlikely to graduate from high school. Therefore, the Read Across America committee is piloting a project, working closely with the California School Library Association, to expand our current day of reading celebration to a yearlong promotion of reading for all ages. Rather than just one day and just one book, "California Reads" will offer teacher-approved quarterly book recommendations for four age groups.
Every child deserves a chance to learn and no child succeeds alone.

2nd Sunday after the Epiphany Rev. D. K. Schroeder John 2:1-11 Sermon January 14, 2007 Hymns (from The Service Book and Hymnal): 423 O Sing All Ye Lands 51 Earth Has Many A Noble City 56 O One With God The Father 198 Saviour Again To Thy Dear Name We Raise A TASTE OF PERFECTION TEXT (vs. 9-11)
and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realise where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now. This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. Some years ago, there was a sitcom on TV called I Married Joan. It starred Joan Davis and Jim Backusyoud probably know Jim Backus more for his role as Thurston Howell III on Gilligans Island, or the cartoon voice of Mr. Magoo. This rather short-lived sitcom was on the air before that time. The story line involved a younger, childless married couple. Jim Backus played a judge, and his wife played by Joan Davis was a stay-at-home type of person. Every episode seemed to revolve around the wacky, sometimes slap-stick antics of this couple, especially Joan. One episode I remember, was one where Joan had their evening supper all planned out. She had purchased two Rock Cornish game hensyou know, those little tiny chickens you see in the supermarket, which was just enough for the two of them. She had some soup cooking, and some other items. Around three oclock in the afternoon, her husband telephones her and tells her that hes invited two guests for supper. How was she going to make this meal stretch for two more? She adds some water to the soup, and decides shed make some stuffing for the birds. Then she takes a bicycle pump and inflates the hens a bit, and makes them bigger so she can fit more stuffing inside of them. But then her husband calls her again, with two more guests. And she attempts to stretch things further. Finally after several more phone calls, and enough additional supper guests to qualify for a full-blown dinner party, she has inflated those two Rock Cornish game hens with the bicycle pump to be the size of two small turkeys, and she has added enough water to the soup to make it more like dishwater. The climax came when her two little hens exploded all over the place and she was left with one big mess. Of course shes standing crying in the kitchen, not knowing what to do. Here she is with an impromptu dinner party on her hands with very important people, and all shes got is a pot full of dishwater soup and a couple small chickens which now look like deflated footballs. She had tried her best to make do with what she had, and it turned out to be a dismal failure. As we look at our text for today, we see that there is a party going ona rather large party to be exact. It was a wedding feast, and it was taking place in the town of Cana of Galilee. Wedding feasts were major gala events in the lives of the people. They lasted for days. There was a lot of food, and a lot of wine. It was expected that the host of the feast would provide enough food and drink so that none of the guests were left wanting for anything. For the host (which would have been the groom and his family) to run out of anything, especially the wine, it was more than just a social faux paus, or an unfortunate miscalculation by the groom. This was taken as a sign that God was not going to bless the marriage, or maybe putting it into the vernacular, the marriage was jinxed. Why would this be? If we look at Proverbs 3, 9-10 we can get an explanation: "Honor the lord with your wealth, with the first-fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats brim over with new wine." For them to run out of wine was an indication to them that the Lord had not blessed them, and that they had not been properly honoring the Lord in their lives. So, it was not simply an embarrassment to run out of wine in those days. Plenty of free flowing wine was a symbol of God's blessing. Lets take a good look at this situation. Jesus was there as were his disciples. From all outward appearances, they werent any different than the rest of the guests. For all intents and purposes, Jesus didnt stand out as being someone special or noteworthy. He was there, hanging out with the people and having a good time. The only thing people might have noticed was that he wouldnt have over-indulged in the food and alcohol; but that in and of itself wouldnt have singled him out as being odd, or that he was someone special. Mary, Jesus mother was there too. I believe that it is quite likely that Mary was a close relative of the groom. She was perhaps helping with the celebration, probably acting as the hostess for the party. So when the wine ran out, she was more than just a little concerned about it. This would be a bad reflection not only on her and the groom, but the entire family. She couldnt give the impression that God wasnt going to bless this marriage because of her familys miscalculation and error. She needed help, and she needed it fast! Who could help her out in this situation? She went to the only person she knew could help, and that was her son Jesus. Even though she knew that he was Gods only Son, she most likely wasnt sure whether he either could or would help with this dilemma. But she had to ask anyway. Jesus response to her is almost puzzling in a way. In verse 4 of our text, we read: Dear woman, why do you involve me? Jesus replied. My time has not yet come. First of all, Jesus addresses her in a very formal way. Dear woman is not the way children addressed their parents. You would have almost expected him to say, Aw mum, but he didnt. Secondly, he asks Why do you involve me? Isnt that almost like hes saying, Hey, this running out of wine thing wasnt my blunder. I didnt make this mistake. Im only a guest at this party. Why should I do anything about it? And thirdly, Jesus says that his time had not yet come. What time was his time? When would it be his time? Was there a special time when he could help out in this situation? How long would they have to wait? Well, heres the answer to all those questions. When Mary came to Jesus for help, she didnt come to him like a normal mother would come to her son. If she had, she would have said something like, Hey Jesus, why dont you and your friends go down to the liquor store and pick up some more wine. Mary approaches Jesus because he is true God. She came forward in faith looking for a miracle to alleviate this situation. And because she approached him in this manner, he responds with the more formal address of dear woman. And then what follows is more understandable. When he says, Why do you involve me? we need to understand the reason Jesus came to this earth in the first place. He didnt come to be the little old wine maker, or to work some hocus-pocus to keep the party rolling. He came to save the people from their sins, and to be the Saviour of the world. And Mary knew this. When Jesus says that his time had not yet come, we need only look at Mark 1, 15. Jesus begins his ministry after John the Baptist was put into prison, and says: The time has come
The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news! The wedding feast at Cana of Galilee wasnt the time or the place for Jesus to begin his actual ministry, and he wasnt going to put on the proverbial dog and pony show to amuse or awe the people gathered there. For him to do so would not have served his more noble purpose of ministry, and thus showing himself to be the promised Messiah. He was an invited guest at this wedding, and he had no desire to be anything more than that. Mary had no doubt that Jesus would help out, although she probably wasnt sure how he was going to do that. So she simply instructs the servants there to do whatever Jesus told them to do, and left it at that. What Jesus does then is almost beyond belief. He spots six stone jars which hold about thirty gallons each. He tells the servants to fill them to the brim with water. These jars are noteworthy. If we look at Mark 7, 4 we can see what the Jewish tradition was, and why they had these jars handy. We read: When they come from the market-place they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and dining couches. Interestingly enough, the word wash in this verse is the Greek word baptize. In any event, these jars werent even used for drinking water. They were used strictly for the water used in the Jewish ceremonial washing or baptizing. This second-rate water would be the water Jesus would use to work his first miracle, the changing of water into wine. The people of Jesus day certainly knew their wine. It was probably the most common beverage. Despite what the temperance people would like to think, wine in the Bible had alcoholic content. In Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost, some accused the Apostles of having too much wine when they spoke in tonguesthey reckoned that they were drunk. There are other places in the Bible that clearly indicate wine was an alcoholic drink. Wine was a safe drink for them. It wouldnt make them sick like polluted water would. The alcohol killed any nasty bacteria that would have been present in other drinks. So yes, the people definitely knew their wine. The cheap wine, often made in substandard and non-sterile vats, would attract strains of wild yeast, which would make the wine bitter or sour. But the good expensive wine was made under optimal conditions by people who knew their trade well. An excellent glass of wine was duly noted and appreciated by the people, with everyone being a wine aficionado in their own right. The master of ceremonies at the wedding feast recognized this wine as being of superior taste and quality. In fact, he makes the comment that people usually bring out the cheap and inferior stuff later on in the celebration when they reckon people are too inebriated to really care. But he is surprised when Jesus wine is served, indicating that they saved the best for last. What do you think he would have thought if he knew that this excellent wine he was enjoying was made from the substandard washing up water stored in those stone jars? In our text for today, there are two very valuable lessons to be learned. First, we see Jesus for who he really is. He is indeed true God, and therefore has the power and ability to do anything. Mary knew this when she approached Jesus in the first place. She came to him in faith. Jesus worked this first miracle of his in a very quiet, inconspicuous, and unceremonious way. The only people at that massive wedding feast who actually knew what he did were Mary his mother, the servants who filled the jars with water, and his disciples. He didnt make a public spectacle of himself. But this did serve a great purpose indeed. Verse 11 of our text for today says, This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. This of course was his primary purpose for the miracle. We can look at ourselves as those stone jars, full of substandard water, and not really fit for much of anything. But when Jesus comes into our lives, he works an astounding miracle. He cleanses us and transforms us into a new creation, people who are holy and acceptable to God and fit for his kingdom. Through faith, Jesus changes each and every one of us from sinners into saints. We cant transform ourselves or make ourselves into something we are not. Without Jesus, that water would have remained in the state it was, sitting in those stone jars. The water couldnt change itself into wine. But the Holy Spirit has given us that faith in Jesus our Saviour, and by Gods grace we are indeed changed. Our sins and impurities have been washed away and removed. And so, we are a new creation of God. We have been transformed for a purpose. The new life we have received is now a life which is to reflect Gods blessings to others. We are no longer sinful vessels, but instruments of Gods love and grace. In my story at the beginning, I recounted the humorous antics of Joan Davis when she tried to water down her soup and use a bicycle pump to expand her two little Rock Cornish game hens to feed her unexpected dinner party. Of course she met with disaster. It wasnt until a neighbor came by that Joan got some help. The neighbor helped her transform the mess she had into something new and different, which I believe was a type of chicken stew. Joan couldnt see beyond what she had; she needed someone elses help. Mary saw that too. But Mary didnt try to water down the wine make it stretch. Instead she went to Jesus, who she knew would help. We need to remember that too. We cant transform ourselves or make ourselves holy. Only Jesus can do that. Remember I said that this text taught two valuable lessons. Ive only given you one of them. Heres the other. This wedding feast was a happy event. It was fun. Jesus was there, obviously enjoying himself. His disciples were also enjoying themselves. They were having fun. Jesus could have taken a different approach by saying, Oh well, the wines gone, the partys over, too bad, so sad; well, see ya! He didnt need to make more wine and keep the party going, but he did. Jesus doesnt mind if we have fun. In fact, he wants us to enjoy life. He doesnt mind if we socialize, or go to parties, or laugh, or play games. In fact, he doesnt mind if we consume alcohol, so long as we dont overindulgethats the important thing. Ive known many Christians in my life who have somehow gotten the idea that a Christian lifestyle is somber and staid and stoic and basically Puritanical. And I have come to the conclusion that if some of these people were to crack a smile, their face would break. Our text for today tells about Jesus and his disciples enjoying themselves at a big party. Even though this was the site of his first miracle, and as serious as his mission was, everyone still had a good time. During this life, may we always keep ourselves focused upon Jesus. Remember who he is and why he came. Remember what he has done in our lives. But may we also not forget to enjoy ourselves along the way. Have a good time. Do things that we enjoy. Take time for recreation. Have fun. Be happy.

Latinas are like a fine wine. They only get better with age. Lori Suarez is exactly the type of chica where that saying holds true. She's a certified MILF who can still pop her booty with the baddest chicks at any club.
Our boy Lucas Stone sneaks up on Lori as she's bouncing her butt in some skin-tight jeans and smacks her ass.
"Naughty boy," Lori says. "You're watching me dancing."
After a little ass-play, she shows Lucas that she's still a pro at going down on a dude's stiff dick. Lori looks like she's been waiting a long time for a healthy serving of black cock as she nearly swallows his hung magic stick several times.
"I can't wait to ride that dick," she says in between swallows.
When Lori hops on top of his cock, you can tell she's been fiending for some stiff, black dick.
"Oh, yeah, it's all yours, baby," she says as she bounces her phat ass on his cock. "Oh, I love that dick."
Lucas turns her over later and goes to work on her pussy from behind. Lori gets some sticky cum all over her ass when he's finally done.
"I love it," she says. "I can't get enough dick."

Cowboys Pro Bowl cornerback Terence Newman, who'd been questionable with an injured groin, will start against the 49ers. Newman came out early and didn't have any problems changing directions and making sharp cuts.
He'll start opposite of Anthony Henry and rookie Orlando Scandrick will play the nickel. The one change to keep your eye on for the 49ers is Chilo Rachal possibly starting for right guard Tony Wragge.
In addition to firing head coach Mike Nolan last month, the 49ers dismissed offensive line coach George Warhop. Mike Singletary quickly made the switch to Shaun Hill at quarterback. Hill does a much better job than J.T. O'Sullivan of getting the ball away. If the switch had happened earlier, Warhop would probably still have a job.

DHL Express, the world's leading express services provider has launched a new campaign that underlines its time-critical shipping capabilities and market insight across the globe. The "No One Knows" campaign focuses on DHL's expertise in combining global leadership with local expertise to help businesses across the region grow and capitalize on the economic recovery.
As trade volumes surpass pre-economic crisis levels on key international trade lanes, DHL is highlighting its cross-border shipping expertise for export oriented businesses. The "No One Knows" campaign targets small- and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) around the world, as well as key industry companies, and focuses on DHL's unique knowledge of markets worldwide.
Ken Allen, CEO, DHL Express said: "The relevance of cross-border express services becomes clear to companies when they look into opportunities abroad. DHL's global capabilities and local knowledge can help companies set up fast-to-market delivery systems anywhere around the world. This is a central element of the campaign."
The campaign starts at a time when recent trade data signals continuously strong export figures. According to recent data released by the Transport Research Centre of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), airborne trade between Europe and Asia, Europe and the Middle East as well as Europe and the Americas has gained momentum in recent months, despite the recent global economic downturn. On particular trade lanes, such as trade routes from Germany, the UK and France to destinations outside the European Union, trade volumes have now surpassed pre-crisis levels in both directions. The data suggests a strong structural demand for higher-value fast-to-market goods, which typically travel by express.
Gary Kemp, Managing Director, DHL Express Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) said, "As a global leader in logistics, DHL has the strength of a robust global network and a comprehensive portfolio of service offerings to fulfill the needs of our customers. We are a strategic partner and trade facilitator to SMEs and companies across industry sectors that leverage on our network to expand their business footprints beyond borders."
While the UAE continues to drive growth and act as a regional logistics hub, DHL has achieved significant milestones across the region including the expansion of products and facilities as well as industry recognition. In Oman, DHL opened a new logistics gateway facility in Muscat - the first fully bonded facility in Oman. The facilities will ensure that DHL is able to meet growing logistic needs for markets including the UAE, China, India and the US and Western Europe from Oman. In Lebanon, DHL has invested $4.2 million in its airport facility, which saw its airside facility at Rafik Hariri International Airport, the first of its kind for Lebanon, double in size. In addition, DHL Express Qatar recently celebrated its 30th anniversary – the company's revenues have doubled over the past five years in Qatar, and it has invested nearly three million Euros in operational facilities.
DHL will run a series of advertisements to manifest its time-critical cross-border express shipping capabilities. In addition, it will also stress its competencies in specialized full-range services for industries, such as Health Care/Life Sciences, Technology, Oil & Energy and the Automotive industry.
DHL offers fully integrated solutions for companies in various industries by combining the expertise of its three business units – Express, Global Forwarding and Supply Chain. The company operates as a single partner, providing air, ocean and land transportation services, in addition to offering flexibility and easy access to a broad range of services around the world through a local and personalized contact. Individual customer demand can thus be met more efficiently.
A trade facilitator that invented cross-border express shipping more than 40 years ago, DHL currently serves customers in more than 220 countries and territories with global capabilities and unrivalled local knowledge.
The DHL campaign, which was conceived by the agency 180 Amsterdam, will run as a global campaign in 30 countries including key markets such as China, India, Brazil, Mexico, UK and Germany.

Bill O'Reilly, Jon Stewart joust at mock debate
MoJules Florissant, MOOct. 8, 2012 6:40 p.m.
I was really excited to watch this, turned it off when Stewart threw out the "F" bomb. And I paid $5.00 for that???
Mad Hatter Provo, UTOct. 7, 2012 12:18 p.m.
Like Jon Stewart's comedy program, there is much truth behind the humor. The debate was fun, but it was also satirical, yet ironic.
As an abashed Daily Show fan, I found the debate to be entertaining but serious in the issues discussed. Stewart revels in exposing the fallicies and nonsense in today's poliltical world. He references to the Mountain was right on.
Although I wouldn't have called Bill O'Reilly the mayor. That role is reserved for Roger Ailes.
Esquire Springville, UTOct. 7, 2012 10:11 a.m.
This is all entertainment, and not free, yet the media felt compelled to cover it? If this isn't an indictment of today's media, I don't know what is.

If you've ever visited Acadia National Park, you no doubt stopped at the Jordon Pond House and had some of their buttery popovers smeared with jam. If the park is too far to reach this year, here's the recipe from the Acadia Corporation so you can make the popovers at home.
Two Large Eggs
One Cup – Whole Milk
One Cup –Sifted all purpose flour
¼ Teaspoon Salt
Speck of Baking Soda
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Beat the eggs at high speed until lemon-colored, 2 to 3 minutes in an electric mixer. On the slowest speed, slowly add ½ of the milk; beat until well mixed.
Sift and measure flour, salt, and baking soda; slowly add the dry ingredients with the mixer going on low speed. When mixed, stop the mixer, scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula, turn to medium speed and slowly add the remaining ½ cup of milk; beat two minutes.
Turn the mixer to high speed and beat 5 to 7 minutes. Batter should be smooth and similar to the thickness of heavy cream. Pour the batter through a strainer, and then into well-greased muffin tins or a popover pan.
Bake on the middle rack of preheated 425 degree oven for fifteen minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake fifteen to twenty minutes longer. Approximate yield, 6 large popovers.

I use Sublime Text 3 and is very satisfied with the speed. It is extremely fast.It starts so fast. I used to use (x)emacs.
However, I loaded a 800MB file and wanted to search in it. That was almost useless.Sublime Text was quite sluggish. Note that I am only using 6GB of 16GB.I do understand my file is HUGE and to extent I am surprised it did not crash.So the slowness is to be expected but you always hope for the best.
I wonder if huge file performance is something that is important to you.

An American Benedict?
I've been crushing on the name Benedict lately! However, as an American, there is some hesitation about the name thanks to the traitor Benedict Arnold. One would think over 230 years would be enough time to move on, but oh well
So, do you think Benedict could be wearable on an American boy? I generally prefer full names, so I probably wouldn't call him Ben or Benny/Bene all that often (especially since I have a cousin named Ben, short for Benjamin).
What are your thoughts? Thanks

A Brick Township-based construction company has been fined nearly $75,000 by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for alleged safety and health violations at a Secaucus work site, U.S. Department of Labor officials said.
An OSHA investigation was initiated in March in response to an imminent danger complaint alleging La Conti Concrete & Masonry Inc. employees were working on the fifth level of a supported scaffold without fall protection. The work site is located on the property of a scrap metal yard on Secaucus Road.
OSHA officials said there were nine violations, including two repeat violations, and the proposed penalties total $74,830. A representative from La Conti did not return a call for comment.
The repeat safety violations, with a $53,900 penalty, involve failing to provide safe access to a scaffold and ensure workers were not exposed to a 35-foot fall while working on an unguarded scaffold, according to a news release. A repeat violation occurs when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation at any other facility within the past five years.
The company was cited for similar violations in 2006, 2007 and 2011.
OSHA said six serious safety and health violations, with a $20,930 penalty, include failing to properly store propane tanks; ensure a competent person inspected a scaffold before employees worked on it; establish and implement a written respiratory protection program for workers required to wear respirators; develop and implement an effective written hazard communication program for workers exposed to hazardous chemicals; and maintain material safety data sheets.
"This employer continues to jeopardize the safety and health of its workers by failing to correct these hazards, which is unacceptable," said Kris Hoffman, director of OSHA's Parsippany area office in a statement. "Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace, and will be held legally accountable when they fail to do so."
La Conti Concrete & Masonry Inc. employed 34 workers at the Secaucus work site and has 15 business days from receipt of the citations to comply, ask for an informal conference with OSHA's area director or contest the citations and proposed penalties.
In 2010, more than 10,000 construction workers were injured as a result of falling while working from heights, and more than 250 workers were killed, OSHA officials said.
