I love Electoral College math. I mean, I teach mathematics and I write about politics, so poring over various Electoral College combinations is right up my alley. Experts all across the country are telling us that this presidential election is coming down to a handful of "battleground" states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio and the like.
For most American voters, the memory of the 2000 election, where George W. Bush beat Al Gore in a narrow electoral victory (271 to 266) while losing the popular vote 48.4 percent to 47.9 percent, is still fresh. The weekslong battle to count and recount votes in Florida, where the phrase "hanging chads" entered our vernacular, is a path to which no one wants to return.
In spite of the seeming closeness of this race, another outcome like 2000 is highly unlikely. In fact, only four times in our nation's history has the winner of the popular vote not won the presidency.
Prior to the 2000 election, the last time such an event occurred was in 1888. Incumbent Grover Cleveland narrowly won the popular vote (eight-tenths of a percent), but Benjamin Harrison easily (by 65 votes) carried the Electoral College.
The closest Electoral College result in American history occurred in 1876 when Democrat Samuel Tilden won the popular vote by 3 percent but lost the Electoral College vote to Republican Rutherford Hayes 185 to 184.
Probably the strangest presidential election result was one of the earliest. In 1824, four candidates received significant support: Henry Clay, William Crawford, Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams. Jackson won the popular vote (41 percent), followed by Adams (31 percent), Crawford (16 percent) and Clay (14 percent). Jackson also won the electoral Vote with 99 votes. Adams received 84 while Crawford and Clay received 41 and 37 respectively.
However, Jackson's electoral support was not enough to win the presidency. The election then went to the House of Representatives, where Adams was the winner.
A significant mathematical note here is that in only one case where the winner of the popular vote lost the Electoral College did the candidate actually receive over 50 percent of the popular vote: Tilden in 1876 with 51 percent. Thus, out of the 56 U.S. presidential elections, only once did a candidate receive over 50 percent of the popular vote and not make it to the White House.
All of this is to say that, in spite of the enormous amount of attention paid to a handful of states, perhaps the best indicator of who will win the presidency are the national popular vote polls. If it appears that a candidate is going to receive at least 51 percent of the national popular vote, an electoral victory is almost certain.
Political expert Charlie Cook of The Cook Political Report said as much in June. "All of this time and effort spent parsing state-level polls would be better spent more closely examining the national polling data, particularly looking at how the candidates are performing now compared with Obama and John McCain in 2008, and examining how likely the members of specific (and potentially decisive) demographic groups are to actually vote."
Cook also noted that, "If a race is close nationally, it will be close in a lot of individual states, too." His implication above is that the inverse is also true. If the race is not close nationally, then it will not be close in very many states, including the "battleground" states. In other words, once a candidate reaches a particular level of support nationally, any of the states that were particularly close are almost certainly in line with the national vote.
As I indicated above, that level of support seems to be around 52 percent. If Romney or Obama gets to this number, any states that are seemingly tied are virtually guaranteed to be in the camp of the leader.
Currently Romney is the candidate in the best position for such an outcome. As of this writing, Romney's RCP national polling average stands at 48 percent while Obama is at 47 percent. Also, Gallup, in its six-day polling average, has had Romney at or above 50 percent since Oct. 15. No presidential candidate that has polled at 50 percent or better in the Gallup survey by the middle of October has gone on to lose the election. (Gallup has correctly predicted 16 of 19 presidential races dating back to 1936.)
Keep a particularly close eye on the national polls on the Saturday through Monday prior to Election Day. These are the polls upon which their reputations mostly rest, and accuracy will be essential. Plus, extreme efforts to predict any voters left undecided (most of which will prefer the challenger to the incumbent) will be taken.
Of course, when all else fails, just check in Wednesday, Nov. 7. This (usually) will tell us everything.

Can you believe it? James Baker, of all people, has enlisted in a campaign
to get the Supreme Court to approve as precedent both state and federal
laws that guarantee both "ballot security and full access to voting." In
this effort, he is joined by Jimmy Carter who spends much of his time
certifying that elections in select third world countries are fair, honest
and democratic -- even when they are not.
In 2005, Baker and Carter led a bi-partisan Commission on Federal Election
Reform that did tackle the problem and proposed a uniform voter photo
ID. I have no quarrel with the idea.
But it's still strange that Baker should put himself forward as a fair
elections proponent. Here are some crucial sentences from an article by
Carter and Baker on the Sunday Opinion page of the Times:
The Supreme Court faces a difficult and important decision. If the
justices divide along partisan lines, as lower courts have, they would add
to the political polarization in the country. We hope that they will find
a non-partisan path that combines both legitimate concerns...and
underscores the importance of applying these laws in a fair...way.
The fact is that Baker doesn't care a fig about fair elections. Remember
that he was the man behind Bush v. Gore in the year 2000, the year of the
great partisan theft.

SOURCE: "Paolo and Francesca," in Dante: A Collection of Critical Essays, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1965, pp. 61-77.
The following excerpt discusses the Paolo and Francesca episode in the Inferno. Poggioli's essay originally appeared in a longer form in the June 1957 issue of PMLA.
… Francesca tells her story as if she were reminiscing aloud. One day, Paolo and she were reading together, for their own entertainment, the romance of Lancelot du Lac, and particularly that section of the romance describing how the protagonist was overpowered by his passion for the fair Guinevere. Francesca alludes to all this very succinctly, through the single phrase: "how love seized him" (come amor lo strinse), where she uses a violent verb, stringere, "to grasp" or "to squeeze," to indicate the violence of the passion mastering the knight's soul. We imagine the two sitting beside each other: one listening, the other, probably Francesca, reading aloud. But...

WVPB brings LearningMedia to Marshall Students
Marshall University Education Majors spent the day with WVPB Curriculum Speicalist, Margaret Miller, exploring ways to make learning more relevant in this digital world. Student Teachers are digital natives and easily take to integrating media into their lesson planning. With the plethora of resources out there, WVPB shares West Virginia PBS LearningMedia, a free digital library with hundreds of thousands of safe video clips, interactive lessons and full length programming.
More that 1.6 million teachers throughout the country are using PBS LearningMedia, included in that number are the over 6, 200 teachers, students and caregivers from West Virginia. WVPB has added West Virginia History and West Virginia STEAM resources to PBS LearningMedia. This information is available to anyone in West Virginia, but it also provides the world access to West Virginia.
"Student teachers are excited about getting these resources." Miller said. Student teachers are just beginning to develop lessons in their education fields and West Virginia LearningMedia provides them with a great supplement or an outline for lessons they need to teach. In fact 92% of teachers who use PBS LearningMedia say that technology is a useful and motivating tool for students.
This past year WVPB has provided LearningMedia training to over 700 teachers from Pre-k to those working with adult learners. Generally, anyone who has participated in a training has found something to take back to be more effective in their classroom.

Thank You
It was really useful, thank you for teach us how to do this. :D
The primary purpose of this code is to teach beginner programmer to familiarize the concept of database programming.
This is particularly for beginner but may also applicable for intermediate programmer.

I need code for add,edit,delete,update records in Access Database using C#.
Plz help me as early as possible. plz provide code me on my mail id: [email protected]
Thank You.
your example helped me a lot.
However, I'm facing a problem:
I did a query according:
- Dim sqlQRY As String = "SELECT * FROM JSM_LEDEN WHERE Kaartnummer = " & IntCardNr
- Dim JSM_DataAdapter As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(sqlQRY, JSM_Conn)
- Dim JSM_DataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
- JSM_DataAdapter.Fill(JSM_DataSet, "JSM_Leden")
- Dim JSM_DataTable As DataTable = JSM_DataSet.Tables("JSM_Leden")
- Dim row As DataRow
- Dim NumLessons As Integer = 0
- Dim LastLogDate As Date
.. as the IntCardNr variable is a unique number, the query results in a single row from my database following code displays it:
- For Each row In JSM_DataTable.Rows
- Txt_Name.Text = row("Naam")
- Txt_Forename.Text = row("Voornaam")
- Txt_Address.Text = row("Straat")
- Txt_City.Text = row("Gemeente")
- Txt_Zip.Text = row("Postcode")
- If IsDBNull(row("Tel")) Then
- Txt_Phone.Text = ""
- Else
- Txt_Phone.Text = row("Tel")
- End If
- If IsDBNull(row("GSM")) Then
- Txt_GSM.Text = ""
- Else
- Txt_GSM.Text = row("GSM")
- End If
Now I want to update a couple of fields (LastLog and NumLessons)
what would be the best approach to achieve this?

"Hollis Doyle is a thug. A punk. And the people who support him are thugs or punks. Or they condone his behavior. They are not Americans. The idea that this country belongs to one kind of person is the least American idea that anyone has ever had. In fact, it is the opposite of the ideals of this nation. Nothing needs to be restored. Nothing needs to be made great again. We are a better nation than we were 20 years ago. Than we were 50 years ago. Than we were 100 years ago. Than we were at our founding. That is the point of America. We are a country where we are always greater than our past. I am proud to live in a nation where a black man has a legitimate shot at the White House.

Missing Teen's Mom: Gardner "Sloppy"
Amber Dubois has been missing for a year, but her mother, Carrie McGonigle, doesn't think John Albert Gardner III, the man suspected in the death of Chelsea King, had anything to do with her daughter's disappearance.
Outrage Growing over Repeat Sex Offenders
But McGonigle admitted on "The Early Show" it could just be that she's in denial.
McGonigle pointed to a possible link between Gardner wearing a monitor until 2008, and her daughter's disappearance a year later on February 13, 2009. Dubois was last seen at Escondido High School, in Escondido, Calif. Gardner lived just six minutes from her school and not far from where King disappeared.
She said, "I would think he would have been one of the very first people Escondido police department looked at."
"Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith noted the widespread search for Dubois did include a focus on Gardner. Smith said volunteers monitored the registered sex offender and even took pictures of him.
"I don't know about the pictures," McGonigle said, "but I know he was one of them that our volunteers did monitor."
Following her daughter's disappearance, McGonigle said, the police performed their routine checks on all the sex offenders in the area where Dubois went missing -- including Gardner. However, she said she doesn't know if he was actually questioned by police.
McGonigle said she's looking for an end to their search "one way or another."
"Her dad and I both need closure," McGonigle said. "So -- not that we want to bury our daughter, but we need some closure."
When pressed why she didn't think Gardner had involvement with her daughter's case, McGonigle said she thinks it was another sex offender because Gardner "seems a little sloppy in what he does."
McGonigle said searches for Amber Dubois will resume on March 13.

Now for some of the many HAPPY MEMORIES!!! The stuff you think about after you've forgotten the fights over cell-phone usage!
|Our hotel was super modern and had an awesome foosball table.
Fun to see the boys playing together happily.
|This modern egg thing is super cool...
|...until your brother comes and spins it against your will.
|First views of Paris from Max and Sam's room.
They had their own room the first leg.
|Bravely trying, and loving, French Onion Soup.
|Looked good. Tasted great.
|Max bravely tried Duck Breast with Aligot.
|No one can resist a teeter-totter but we may have scared some children
|Handsome devil!
|Are we really here? Is this really happening??
|Sam found this PDA hilarious and outrageous.
Max found the dudes shoes hilarious and outrageous.
|The first platform
|The top has a wire cage around it which is why I can handle my kids being at the top without puking.
|"Look at that aerodynamic piece of paper spiraling down to the ground."
|Sharing was not going to happen. We all got our own.
|More PDA. More speculation about whether they were actually French Kissing.
Our first full day started with the breakfast buffet at the hotel. Racks of fresh pastries with Nutella made everyone very happy. (The second morning we discovered the hot milk and French Nesquik which is way better than American Nesquik. So, so good. Wish I brought a pound or two home.)
|The first day we ate everything and then slowly tapered off
to normal human-sized meals the next few breakfasts.
Notre Dame (Super cool up on the roof.)
|Trying to get a peak at the pealing bells.
|"Those boys are good eggs."
Sainte-Chapelle where the glass made us gasp.
|Sainte Chapelle was BEAUTIFUL!!!
|Max's favorite's from the Louvre
|Give a lady some room to breathe!
|Both Sam and Max ate Escargot! Great job boys!!!
|"I guess it was worth it..." So we got crepes and then on the way home we got more crepes.
Max and Doug took a French pastry cooking class, LOVED IT, and had a great time.
Sam and I explored a sorta lame museum but still enjoyed ourselves.
Sam did NOT want to have an art lesson with me in the Renoir gardens, but I forgave him because he was sweet and smiley about it.
|This delicious pastry was made by my 15 year old! Great work Max!!
Sacré-Cœur! (Bought our souvenir Nativity. Only two figures this time. 1 Joseph 2. Mary holding Jesus.)
|Such a cool building!
Versailles is ALSO amazing and super cool to look around. We rented a golf cart to explore the grounds and let Max drive a little. He was disappointed it only went about 3.2 mph.
|Quick food stop: "We'll take one of each please."
|This glass in the visitor's center was so darn pretty. We loved looking around this peaceful place!
|The grounds were just as pretty as the building.
Sent the boys out for dinner crepes, and took ourselves to a yummy Italian place.
(Spied on boys to make sure they made it to crepe stand safely.)
Wednesday Schedule:
Woke up late and missed our train to London (via Chunnel) by about 10 minutes. (Didn't know you had to check in 30 mins early...)
Had a two hour delay, but made it just in time for...
High Tea at "The Orangery"
(The boys actually liked my Raspberry Tea...! and we all liked the dainty finger sandwiches.)
|Sam was so excited to see a real British phone booth. And then a double-decker bus drove by.
The gleeful exclamations were awesome.
|Soaking in London
|"I'll use this for my cover shot."
Watched Agatha Christie's "The Mouse Trap". The boys loved it and didn't guess who the murderer was! Win!!
Ate dessert after the show at an Italian place I visited on my last trip.
Thursday Schedule:
Big Red Bus Tour
Hopped off at The Tower of London
|This guy told a cool story about when he attempted to steal
the crown jewels and nearly got away with them...
It dropped us off at Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
Barely missed being able to go in Westminster Abbey
Went to Buckingham Palace and saw ladies in hats going in for a garden party.
Hopped on bus to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese where Samuel Johnson spent time writing the first dictionary. Ate yummy pub food there and finally discovered what Bubble and Squeak is.
Saw Les Miserables. Kept us all on the edge of our seats. The boys LOVED it but Sam was a little shocked at how sad it is. He wasn't familiar with the story at all before hand, but loved the music.
Straight to Kings Cross Station where we grabbed some pastries from stalls outside before checking out Platform 9 3/4. Doug and the boys made it through, I did not.
We met with our friends the Harrises who used to leave near us in Carlsbad. They drove about four hours to meet up with us--with 5 kids in the car! Now THAT is friendship.
Spent the afternoon taking in the charming town.
It was so so fun. The boys love ABBA and the movie Mamma Mia so they knew all the songs. They had to adjust to the crowd clapping along, but we all totally loved it.
Saturday Schedule:
Our last morning in London.
Headed to the Sherlock Holmes museum. (But only went to the gift shop 'cause that place is ex.pen.sive.)
Ubered to The London Eye and checked the last thing off of Max's London To Do List.(So very cool to see London from above.)
Train via Chunnel back to Paris. (Getting out of town a few hours before the London Bridge terrorist attack.)
Checked back into the same hotel.
Met up with our Monacan friend Ugo and his friend Juliette at an amazing restaurant. The best meal ever to end our awesome trip. The boys tried: Seared duck foie gras, AND Knife-cut Charolais steak tartare. What incredibly brave teens! I was so impressed with them!
And then we all had one more crepe...
Sunday Schedule:
Ate one last buffet breakfast. Sadly, I could only manage hot chocolate and Mueslix. Too much gluttony early in the week.
Made it to Charles De Gaulle in plenty of time. Only to have an unclaimed backpack clear our terminal and make us almost miss our flight.
I mean, we were five minutes away from missing our flight people. SO GLAD WE DIDN'T MISS OUR FLIGHT. Or, ya know, get blown up. Also glad that didn't happen.
And there was much rejoicing! Yaaaaaaay!
Special thanks to our amazing niece for taking such good care of my boys and being so darn fun and nice. I promise you'll like kids again one day. Give it a few months.
Many thanks to Business Credit Card points for completely covering our 4 round trip tickets.
And MAJOR thanks to our amazing friends The Harrises and Ugo and his friend Juliette for traveling hours to see us. You made our trip so much better!! We love you guys.
We had an amazing trip and are so grateful we had the opportunity to take our boys with us. I hope they'll remember it forever and forgive us for taking the games off their phones.

Fireworks ban in Calaveras district
By The Record
January 25, 2007 6:00 AM
MOUNTAIN RANCH - The Fourth of July should be a little quieter and safer this year in this mountain hamlet.
That's because the board of the Central Calaveras Fire and Rescue Protection District adopted an ordinance that took effect Jan. 15 to ban fireworks.
The ban covers both "safe and sane" personal fireworks and the larger varieties used in commercial productions. Large events such as community celebrations can still use fireworks but will require a permit from the fire district.
Central Calaveras Fire Chief Robert L. Gill said he proposed the measure because the many homes in the heavily wooded district are extremely vulnerable to fire. The Central Calaveras fire district serves Mountain Ranch, Sheep Ranch, Rail Road Flat and Glencoe.

Little is known about just how dynamic F1 drivers are, the unique stress and training they undertake in order to sustain them throughout the race and also to allow them to function in good health after spending hours in a fixed, unnatural position behind the wheel. Earlier this 'summer' I visited the Technogym UK head office and McLaren Technology Centre to find out more behind the training process and the equipment that fuels it.
Although this will be new news to many, the Technogym and McLaren partnership actually dates back 13 years, with both parties' collective obsession with performance and innovation bringing them together in 2004. I'll also be quick to point put that it's not just F1 Technogym specialise in; they are also official equipment supplier to Juventus, Inter Milan, A.C. Milan, Ajax, Real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and Chelsea FC.
Back to Technogym HQ and having been given the expert run out on the new technology by the Tecnhogym experts, McLaren's own Human Performance Manager, Simon Reynolds, put me through my paces as he would Fernando Alonso or Stoffel Vandoorne (pictured). Well, not quite the same as them; due to the time constraints our sessions were abbreviated and 'softened' to account for the fact none of us were professional athletes. But still, this glimpse into the precision and unique range of exercises specifically designed with F1 drivers in mind gave true insight into the flexibility of the Technogym equipment that I otherwise taken for granted.
It's not just the technology evident in their more unique products such as the 'Kinesis' but the expertise required in reinventing equipment that most are accustomed to seeing at your local gym. Take the SKILLROW for example: launched this February (2017) and developed with feedback from international Olympic rowers, it's the first indoor rowing product capable of improving anaerobic power, aerobic capacity and neuromuscular abilities in a single self-powered solution. On a less technical level, for me it was the first rower I've used that actually felt realistically that you were on the water; close your eyes and you could almost picture the Coxswain shouting "Stroke, Stroke" as you glide down the river Thames – they call this AQUAFEEL. Another benefit is this gradual resistance, significantly reduces the strain on your lower back.
At the futuristic gym in the McLaren Technology Centre, one piece of equipment particularly caught my eye. At first glance it looked like a mix between a driving simulation machine and an analog gaming contraption, but it was actually a bespoke piece of equipment designed by Technogym specifically to prepare drivers for the rigours of F1 driving. From the weighted steering wheel, to the neck weights attached to the helmet simulating G-Force, this summed up perfectly the synergy between the two brands as they push the boundaries in their respective fields looking to gain – or to help you gain – that extra competitive edge.

BAM Harvey
651 Fulton St.
February 15-26, $30-$90
Award-winning British playwright Caryl Churchill artfully reproduces the random textures and intricate rise and fall, and the complicated rhythms of our banal daily conversations in the glorious Escaped Alone, which continues at BAM through February 26. But under those chats, lurking in the interstices and bubbling just underneath the surface, are horrors that are exposed in dystopian apocalyptic interludes. Churchill masterfully captures the zeitgeist of life in the twenty-first century through the gossiping of a quartet of women just passing the time. Mrs. Jarrett (Linda Bassett) is walking along the street when she hears three acquaintances chattering away behind a fence. She steps through a gate to join Sally (Deborah Findlay), Lena (Kika Markham), and Vi (June Watson) in Vi's grassy and sunny suburban backyard where, over the course of an hour, the women discuss children, television programs, cooking, jokes, and how things change as they get older. "It all goes by," Sally says wistfully early on. Every so often Mrs. J steps out of the scene as red neon lights flash around the proscenium (evoking the special lighting effects employed in Churchill's recent Love and Information) and proceeds to deliver deadly funny details of various devastating global catastrophes, including floods, mass hunger, and killer viruses, as if she is a lone witness. She then returns to her chair like nothing happened. Meanwhile, Sally, Lena, and Vi each give a personal monologue of their own, the lights dimming on the other three and zeroing in on the speaker as one by one the women share their inner fears in a matter-of-fact manner.
The play takes its name from a quote from the Book of Jonah that was also used by Herman Melville in Moby-Dick: "I only am escaped alone to tell thee." Sally, who has a cat problem, Lena, who wants to be invisible, and Vi, who had a rather unfortunate incident with her husband, might still be trying to escape while Mrs. J faces it in her own way, ending her first monologue by saying, "Survivors were now solitary and went insane at different rates." The characters regularly fly off on tangents, speaking in partial sentences that combine to form a kind of fluid, abstract stream-of-consciousness poetry that is absolutely lovely to listen to. Peter Mumford's lighting is virtually a character in itself, making the most of Miriam Buether's bright, charming set, which recalls the famous Robert Frost quote "Good fences make good neighbors." (The fence also evokes Donald Trump's wall, except this one offers free entry and exit.) The four women, who were all in the original Royal Court Theatre production, are extraordinary, their words ricocheting off one another like a championship doubles match at Wimbledon. Longtime Churchill collaborator James Macdonald (Cloud Nine, A Number) oversees it all with a deft hand, keeping every little bit utterly captivating. Now seventy-eight, multiple Obie winner Churchill (Top Girls, Serious Money) has written yet another stunning work, cutting into the contemporary mind like a surgeon, exposing the mystifying stories we tell ourselves to get through our days.
No trackbacks yet.

Nathan Enderle draft capsule
Complete NFL Draft Coverage
The never-ending Bears quest for help at quarterback added the name of Idahos Nathan Enderle to the list Saturday as the Bears went (again) for depth behind Jay Cutler and Caleb Hanie.
The Bears were disappointed last draft when they invested a sixth-round pick on a young quarterback, Dan LeFevour from Central Michigan. He was thrust into a preseason cauldron too soon because of a shoulder injury to Hanie.
The Cincinnati Bengals signed LeFevour to their roster after he was released in preseason cuts by the Bears, who were forced to then add veteran Todd Collins in the hunt for a viable depth chart at the games most important single position.
Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz personally worked Enderle out, a key factor since Martz has not been overly high on Hanie since coming to the Bears.
Enderle is 6-4, 240 pounds, and is described by Pro Football Weekly draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki as too analytical on the field overthinks the game. That should make him very close to the kind of individual Martz wants with his offensive schemes.
Hes got a very strong arm and is very intelligent, said player personnel director Tim Ruskell.
Enderle has dealt successfully with books more complex than even a Martz playbook. I was a pre-med major when I started, and then I went into art and architecture, Enderle said. So I graduated in the college of art and architecture.
Intellectual excellence does not automatically translate into mastery of playbooks or defenses for that matter. Craig Krenzel was a molecular biology major at Ohio State and has gone on to his chosen field after abysmal flops on Soldier Field in 2004.
Enderles production fell off somewhat in his senior season and he completed less than 55 percent of his passes for his career. But the Bears believe his slip was due on large part to players graduating and leaving the Idaho program.
The Bears are scheduled now to open training camp on July 22 and could bring in a fourth quarterback for camp. In any case, for the regular season, the desire is always to go with three, Ruskell said.
Enderles NFL orientation should receive a nice boost from former Idaho teammate Eddie Williams, a running back on the Bears reservefuture roster.
I am very close with Eddie, Enderle said. We were roommates back in college and really good friends. I try not to ask him about football because I figure he gets enough of that as is. He is more than happy with the organization, they know what they are doing and he says they are just spot on with their training and things like that.

Gareth Bale opened his Euro 2016 account with an early free kick as Wales beat Slovakia 2-1 in an entertaining Group B encounter at the Stade de Bordeaux.
Slovakia had a golden opportunity to make the breakthrough inside three minutes when Marek Hamsik danced through the defence but, while the Napoli star's shot beat stand-in goalkeeper Danny Ward, left-back Ben Davies was able to make an impressive block on the line.
Wales -- playing in their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup -- soon came to life. They threatened an opener shortly afterwards, when Slovakia keeper Matus Kozacik's attempted clearance fell to Joe Allen, but the Liverpool midfielder could not get a shot away.
On 10 minutes, Bale gave them the breakthrough. After Patrik Hrosovsky fouled Jonny Williams nearly 30 yards from goal, the Real Madrid star fired home a swerving free kick, with Kozacik caught out after initially misjudging its direction.
Slovakia were fortunate to avoid conceding a penalty with just over half an hour played when Martin Skrtel threw his arm at Jonny Williams in the area, but the referee -- his goal-line assistant standing just a few yards away -- saw no foul.
Just before the break, Skrtel found himself free following a corner, behind the Wales defence, but he could not make contact with Hamsik's cross.
Slovakia had the first chance of the second half when Robert Mak unleashed a shot on the bounce, but he did not trouble Liverpool keeper Ward.
Bale then saw a header saved by Kozacik, but Slovakia drew level on 61 minutes when Mak outpaced Aaron Ramsey down the right and set up substitute Ondrej Duda, whose first involvement was to slot home.
With Jan Kozak's firmly in the ascendancy, Juraj Kucka and Mak both tried their luck from distance as Wales looked increasingly vulnerable, prompting Chris Coleman to bring on Joe Ledley and Hal Robson-Kanu.
Robson-Kanu came close to an instant impact when his cross found Ramsey unmarked in the centre only for the Arsenal midfielder to head tamely over the bar, but the duo combined to restore Wales' advantage on 81 minutes.
Ramsey, receiving a pass from Ledley, beat Skrtel as he bore down on goal and, when the ball ran through to Robson-Kanu, the forward scuffed a shot past Kozacik into the bottom corner.
Slovakia might have had an instant equaliser when Adam Nemec headed against the post from Dusan Svento's cross.
At the other end, Ramsey had the chance to put the result beyond doubt only to dally and let the chance drift, while Bale was later denied by a good save following a counter.
Wales ultimately clung on for the three points to give their hopes of making the knockout stages a major boost.

Cheddars Monte Cristo Sandwich is a great sandwich that so many of us love. This deep-fried sandwich isn't for the faint of heart.
A Monte Cristo sandwich isn't that difficult to make, but I think they can be a wonderful sometimes treat. My local Cheddars can have up to a 90-minute wait on a very busy day, so sometimes I will make my own copycat recipes instead of going out.
A Monte Cristo has it's origin in the Croque Monsieur in the sense it is ham and cheese sandwich that is cooked. In the South, this sandwich is battered and deep-fried. I personally love this hot sandwich. It is warm, crunchy, crispy, and you can even sprinkle it will powdered sugar, and some people enjoy theirs with raspberry preserves.
I like to make my sandwiches ahead of time, and then wrap them with a bit of plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. I think this really helps to bind the sandwich together before you batter it. The sandwich will bind together when you take this extra step.
I like to use my T-fal FR4049 Family Pro 3-Liter Oil Capacity Electric Deep Fryer with Stainless Steel Waffle, 2.6-Pound, Silver to fry these sandwiches in. I can get in two triangles at once. Best of all it keeps the temperature at a nice even heat, and it will allow me to strain the oil so I can reuse it again.
For this Cheddars Monte Cristo Sandwich recipe, use your favorite pancake batter to dip the sandwiches in. My personal favorite is the Krustez brand. You just need to add water, and you are in business. I hope you enjoy this classic Monte Cristo sandwich!

Poetry: For Birendra Krishna Bhadra by Shikhandin
For Birendra Krishna Bhadra – Shikhandin
Generations of Bengalis have woken up before dawn on a date specified by the Bengali Almanac or Ponjika, to listen to a man reciting the Mahishasura Mardini – an almost two hour adaption of scriptural verses (Chandipath) describing the slaying of the demon Mahishasur by the Goddess Durga. That day is Mahalaya, and it arrives every autumn, heralding the beginning of Devi-paksh, a time on earth so holy that any death that occurs within it ensures a direct passage to heaven for the departed; as for the child born, he/she is twice blessed.
The man whose voice pours out from every Bengali home and meets the chilly misty autumnal air is Birendra Krishna Bhadra. Born in 1905 in North Calcutta, he graduated from Scottish Church College in 1928, and was involved in theatre and other literary pursuits. He worked for All India Radio and was also a playwright, actor and theatre director. His recitation of Mahishasura Mardini, which All India Radio began broadcasting from 1931, made him a legend, so much so that in 1976 when AIR tried to infuse a fresh perspective to the programme by bringing in legendary Bengali actor Uttam Kumar, it failed to impress listeners.
Birendra Krishna Bhadra passed away in 1991, but his voice still resonates in Bengali homes across the globe. Even today, families, young and old alike, listen with rapt attention to his rendition. As a matter of fact, Mahalaya without Birendra Krishna Bhadra is unthinkable. Today his recitation of Mahishasura Mardini can be easily downloaded from the internet and heard on the go, whenever one wishes to, and not necessarily on the day of Mahalaya, but listening to him on Mahalaya is more than tradition – it is ritual.
For many Bengalis, even those who no longer practice many of the traditional modes of worship or have become agnostics, Birendra Krishna Bhadra's voice still has the power to bring them down to their spiritual knees. Every year this voice gouges out hidden emotions in the hearts of Bengalis, no matter where they are scattered. For expatriate Bengalis, this day evokes deep nostalgia; it is also cathartic, emotionally and spiritually.
There is a saying in Bengali, Shobdo Brohmo – Sound is Brahma/The Creator. Birendra Krishna Bhadra's powerful recitation makes us all, even the uninitiated, truly feel it.

Punishment Park Review
For an alternative look at this film please read Mark Boydell's review of the French Region 0 release.
Punishment Park opens with the voice-over narration of a filmmaker, and a documentary filmmaker at that. The voice also happed to be that of the director proper, Peter Watkins, and those familiar with his work – specifically the two BBC commissions which have been on DVD for some time now, Culloden and The War Game - will also no doubt be familiar with the stylistic approaches used here. Much like those two films (and the pair of amateur shorts which accompanied them on disc, The Forgotten Faces and The Diary of an Unknown Soldier) Punishment Park takes us through a situation in fake documentary terms. In this case it is the park of the title, a place where those who have "conspir[ed] to undermine the national security" are sent in lieu of prison sentencing. Those convicted are given three days in which to travel a course of approximately 60 miles, one which concludes with the American flag. Without food or water for the duration, the participants in this "game" must hazard not only an inhospitable desert landscape, but also pursuit from the police and National Guard. Needless to say, Punishment Park is set in an alternative future, albeit one which explicitly references the Vietnam War, the late sixties/early seventies counterculture movement and the Kent State massacre. Political allegory, therefore, is never far behind.
In contrast with the BBC films, the documentary element here is more greatly ensconced within the narrative. At one point a German sound technician is taken hostage, whilst there's also a far greater sense of interaction between the two sides of the camera than had previously been the case. Yet whilst this may result in a certain novelty, the documentary syntax is more effectively utilised in other areas. Its key function, perhaps, is in diminishing the science-fiction associations. Certainly, this aspect is minimal to begin with (interestingly, Watkins notes in his introduction that when screened on Danish television one newspaper journalist actually believed it to be the genuine article), but through these means it becomes effectively concealed. Rather the science-fiction is translated into social realism and, as such, becomes all the more powerful for it. Indeed, the horror of this realism (which is always far more palpable; consider Ken Loach's Cathy Come Home and its terrible, almost unbearable sense of logic) is therefore similarly pronounced.
The other major function in dramatic terms is its ability to enhance the bleakness of the central concept. Shot handheld and on 16mm film stock, Punishment Park's vision of the future is far removed from the slick, techno-fetishistic visions of innumerable offerings and incredibly unforgiving. Whilst the film may not – intentionally, of course – present any kind of aesthetic pleasures, it does have an innate ability of capturing the incessant desert heat and the sheer wretchedness of these peoples' surroundings. Indeed, in executing the concept of the park, Watkins' efforts clearly prove far superior to many a generic example.
Those more familiar with genre cinema than they are the likes of Watkins may perhaps also recognise certain familiarities with The Running Man (the Schwarzenegger one, not Carol Reed's), Wedlock and their video rental hit ilk. Yet Punishment Park, though sharing certain superficial similarities, is coming from a completely different mindset. Whereas those moderately engaging works would offer muted or half-assed satire, Watkins is striving for deeper political resonances. After all, do any of these genre quickies operate today on a post-9/11 wavelength or offer clear resonances with Camp X-Ray and the like?
Again, such aspects come down to the documentary framework as much as anything else. At which point it is perhaps worthwhile to draw attention to the fact that Watkins employed only a moderate crew, but one drawn from those who had experience in the non-fiction form and youth on their side. (Joan Churchill, who photographed the film, is the key figure having just prior to Punishment Park worked on Gimme Shelter with Maysles brothers and later going on to a number of noteworthy collaborations with Nick Broomfield.)
But of course, Punishment Park is not a documentary and therefore should not be addressed as such. For all its use of improvisation and casting of non-professionals, some of whom shared the experiences and viewpoints of their characters, this is still a heavily constructed work of fiction and should be seen solely in this light. From certain perspectives this allows us a greater appreciation as Watkins' editing techniques thereby become all the more pronounced, especially for their dramatic weight. Likewise such additions as the snatched radio reports, which provide an alternative, often ironic commentary, also demonstrate the director's technical sense, as does his remarkable ability to crank up the film's intensity through the continual threat of violence, something which has been present since Culloden and back even further to the amateur works.
Yet these earlier films also had much clearer – and ultimately less contentious – targets in their sights. When attacking the nuclear program or the futility of war it was far easier for Watkins to get the audience on his side even before the various documentary stylings had begun to take their effect. In the case of Punishment Park, however, he's offering a less concentrated political argument and as such gets bogged down in a certain simplicity. Despite being afforded a certain outsider status as a Brit looking in at an American situation (an element explicitly referenced time and again, though of course the film's remit isn't entirely US-centric), we feel Watkins presence – and therefore motives – throughout. The documentary crew within Punishment Park may be introduced as taking "coverage [that] will be impartial", but this clearly isn't the case from the very start.
Indeed, we are presented with a basic good and bad divide – extreme left-wing versus extreme right - from which Watkins rarely strays and as such there is very little in-between. Our counterculture element, for example, refer to the police only as "pigs" and, moreover, this is the only light in which we see them – killing their victims in cold blood and having, in their own words, "no feeling at all". Of course, this isn't to say that such people do not exist, but it's a shame that Watkins has to be so reductive in his outlook. Furthermore, this results in two major failings: firstly, the film therefore becomes too highly pitched for its political discussion to have any great effect; and secondly, in purely narrative terms, it renders the film more than a little predictable. Certainly, you could argue that this is the point, but does it help matters that we realise this so early on? Ultimately we're left with a troubling but nonetheless interesting work from the perspective Watkins' oeuvre. The problem is that much of what makes it so troubling is not so much the subject matter, but rather his handling of it.
The Disc
Number 21 is Eureka's Masters of Cinema collection, Punishment Park continues their extremely high standards. The presentation, in particular, is absolutely superb, especially given the materials from which they are working. Shot on 16mm and blown up for 35mm theatrical distribution, the film does not have the most promising of origins, yet the disc does nothing but delight. Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1, Punishment Park looks clean, sharp and remarkably free of damage. Especially impressive is the richness of the image; the colours in particular have a stunning clarity, whilst the disc handles the stark location filming without difficulty. Likewise, the soundtrack is similarly fine. Here we are offered the original mono recording in superb condition. Of course, the documentary stylings mean that we shouldn't expect utter perfection, but we do get a remarkable clarity and an assured handling of the layers of dialogue, music and radio excerpts.
Though the disc only houses two extras, both are of equal interest. The commentary by Dr. Joseph A. Gomez, author of the 1979 academic study Peter Watkins, offers a fine piece of analysis. Cogently argued, detailed and most important enthusiastic, this makes for a fine listen even if you don't agree with every word he says. Admittedly, there are points at which he dries up, but given the consideration which has gone into this piece (and as a teacher who uses the film for his classes, it has clearly been honed over the years) any misgivings over this would no doubt be churlish.
The second piece is a 27-minute introduction by Watkins himself. As the director no longer gives interviews, here he talks directly to camera (though he is reading from prepared notes) and attempts to cover as much ground as possible. Yet for all the depth of his discussion, it is the easily detectable bitter edge which remains most prominent. Even after all these years it appears that he has an axe to grind as he reads out less than favourable from the time and bemoans the fact – whilst asserting its significance – that his films struggle to find distribution.
Given that the accompanying booklet is also made up solely from the contributions of Gomez and Watkins, it understandably covers a lot of similar ground, though this shouldn't necessarily be seen as a bad thing. Indeed, those without the time to sample the commentary or lengthy introduction will no doubt be impressed by the great detail contained within its 32 pages and gain as clear a grasp of the film's arguments and its history as they would from those pieces.
As with the main feature, both the commentary and introduction come with optional English subtitles.

MC1 – DAY ON THE ANGLO-AMERICAN D-DAY LANDING BEACHES - From $149.52 per person
Closed in January
A day to discover Le Mémorial de Caen and the Landing Beaches. From the harbour in Arromanches to the Pointe du Hoc, taking in Omaha Beach. Follow your guide and learn the story of the day that changed the future of the 20th Century.
The extraordinary success of Le Mémorial de Caen lies in the initial resolve of its founder, Mr Jean-Marie Girault. With destruction wreaked across almost three quarters of this martyr city of the Liberation in the summer of 1944, Caen deserved a fitting tribute for the damage it suffered. And such a tribute was paid, but with the focus on what continues to be the Memorial's running theme: reconciliation.
This vocation, unique to Le Mémorial de Caen, will guide you through the museum's different stages, taking you back over the 20th century. This chapter in global history opened in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and partly ended on 9 November 1989 in Berlin with the "Fall of the Wall".
Between these two dates and between these two World Wars, some 60 million people would lose their lives and the most hostile of political systems to the key principles of respecting life would plunge the world into the chaos and brutality that characterized the last century.
We are all heirs to this century whose memory we must keep alive at all costs. The memory of the people who suffered, the memory of ideas and the memory of sacrifices to save us from "man's inhumanity to man".
|25 Dec. & January
|From 01 Apr. to 30 Sep.
From 01 Oct. to 31 Mar.
|Departure at 09.00 and 14.00
Departure at 13.00

In the western economies, spinal fusion is one of the top ten procedures that most payers are looking at the rate of increased utilization, aggregate spending and the likelihood of continued increases based on demographics. Given the heightened competitive pressures and shrinking reimbursement, the average selling prices for spinal fusion products are expected to continue to decline in almost all of the geographies covered in this report, partially offsetting the healthy growth of procedure volumes.
The Global Spinal Fusion Industry, which encompasses 39 countries and includes spinal plating systems, interbody devices, vertebral body replacement devices, and pedicle screw systems, was valued at approximately $7.10bn in 2016.

How to put social media buttons to your WordPress site
I guess the SoMe buttons are pretty standard nowadays on any site. Here's how to add the Facebook Like, Tweet and Google +1 buttons.
Get the code here.
You can choose between "Share a link", "Follow", "Hashtag" and "Mention". We'll look at the normal "Share a link" button.
If you didn't fill in the "share url" and "tweet text" fields it looks something like this (I added the line breaks).
But we want to edit it a bit.
- If the
data-urlisn't there, add it, and put in the current permalink.
- If the
data-textisn't there, add it, you can add your site name and the post title, or only a post title
It looks something like this (line breaks for readability).
Very straight forward.
Google Plus and Share button
Get it here.
It looks something like this.
This is a no brainer, just paste it in. Read the documentation for more info. You may want to look into the Share button also. And here's a comprehensive article on the G+ share button.
The like button is tad more mysterious. Get it here. Choose the setting to your liking get the html5 button.
Part one: ideally this is added right after the opening of
Part two: note that you need to change the
href value to
ID); ?> to make it works on and archive page as well as single page.
Put this where you want the button to appear (I've spread it out to multiple lines again for readability).
Putting it in your theme
I'm not big fan of loading SoMe buttons on archive page, if you display, say 10, posts and have three buttons per page, that makes 30 buttons to load. I guess they're cached and loaded asynchronously and what not. But, it's more effective that way for sure. You decide.
Good idea is to put all the buttons to a file
some-buttons.php and put it into you
assets (what ever you call it) folder and
include it where ever needed.
I'm a designer and I am a pedant control freak
The buttons won't fit into my design and ego, how to style them? I read somewhere that you violate the terms of use if you style the like button. You can style the FB share button, though. I guess it's okay to style others too.
Here's a function that spews them all out into every single post automatically without changing the templates.
add_filter( 'the_content', 'ilc_share' );
function ilc_share( $conten ) {
global $post;
$postlink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$posttitle = get_the_title($post->ID);
$html = '';
return $content . $html;
Here is a modified version where you can print them out where you want.
function ilc_share() {
global $post;
$postlink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$posttitle = get_the_title($post->ID);
$html = '';
echo $html;
Use like this
. Source.
Now you have a set stylable elements that you can go crazy with.
.share-entry{ /*styles*/ }
.share-entry li{ /*styles*/ }
.share-entry li a{ /*styles*/ }
Get creative somehow, I think users are getting blind to the plug-and-play share buttons. The custom styling may be a good idea.

text: Dave Chappelle on "Hero" Bill Cosby, Prince's Death and Why Trump "Makes It Harder for Comedians" 4:49 PM PDT 3/17/2017 by Meena Jang FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME George Pimentel/WireImage "If you talk about him, it's almost like you're part of the chorus and not a soloist," the comedian told 'The New York Times' about President Donald Trump. Dave Chappelle got candid about the problem with being a comedian in the Trump era in a recent wide-ranging interview with The New York Times. The stand-up veteran, who has three specials headed to Netflix, told the publication, "The whole Trump thing makes it harder" because "he's so skewed, it's hard to find an angle that sounds fresh. If you talk about him, it's almost like you're part of the chorus and not a soloist." Chappelle recalled being given the difficult task of hosting Saturday Night Live in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 presidential election. As President Donald Trump racked up more Electoral College votes in a stunning upset over Hillary Clinton, the writers' room fell silent. "Everyone was just staring at the TV. I saw people tear up sketches they were writing. They'd assumed Hillary was going to win. Now there was essentially no show on Saturday," he recounted. "It was like the wind got knocked out of the writers' room. I was really worried." Chappelle also opened up about his reaction to the untimely death of music icon Prince, whom he frequently impersonated on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show, and the rape allegations against his childhood "hero" Bill Cosby. "The Bill Cosby thing was tough for me. I'm not saying that to detract from his alleged victims at all. But he was a hero of mine," he said. "So many bad things happened to our heroes: Muhammad Ali had Parkinson's; Richard Pryor had M.S.; Prince died too young. And Bill just looked like one of the guys who was going to get to the finish line and just die of old age. And this happened. Jesus Christ. It's awful." On Prince's passing, he added, "I looked up to him like everybody did. ... He fostered a community among artists. I think when he died, there was the icon dying, but then there was this pillar in the community of people dying." Over a decade since his abrupt exit from Chappelle's Show, the comedian says quitting the show helped him reaffirm his love for stand-up, and he doesn't see himself leaving the comedy world anytime soon. "A lot of times when you're a famous dude, you don't really feel like a person is actually looking at you," he told NYT. "I felt like after I quit my show, the crowds could actually see me. The audience recalibrated with me. They listened to me again. And it was great. ... In the last few years, I've found an altitude I'm comfortable with." Two of Chappelle's stand-up specials, Deep in the Heart of Texas and The Age of Spin, will begin streaming on Netflix March 21.
