by Sonia Day, Key Porter Books,
144 pages, softcover, $21.95.
If you're like me and are part of the growing number of apartment dwellers, then you've probably pondered the sad possibility of a garden-less future. Well, don't put away your trowel yet, because in her new book, The Urban Gardener Indoors, author and Master Gardener Sonia Day shows readers that it's possible to create an indoor oasis.
From easy-to-grow houseplants to how to force spring bulbs, the author aims to help you make your indoor gardening space as lush, diverse and interesting as an outdoor one. Sensitive to the specific concerns of the indoor gardener, Day provides detailed information on hassle-free plants, keeping foliage clean and the best flowering indoor plants. Though very experienced gardeners may find some material too basic, all will appreciate Day's solutions to problems that plague most indoor green thumbers: dry heat, stubborn insects and scarce natural light.
With inspiring planting suggestions such as growing pineapples indoors and creating cascading tomato vines, having my green space confined by four walls doesn't make me feel so blue.

Unemployed? Make working a publicity stunt like Daniel Seddiqui
The economy blows, you're a recent grad and you still can't find a job after failing 40 to 50 interviews. Daniel Seddiqui left all of you in the dust with the greatest "poor economy stunt" we've seen in awhile. How about trick companies into hiring you for a week and the ridiculous idea will actually get some press. And also trick Americans into believing that lacking long-term employment is cool. Seddiqui, 26, plans to have 50 jobs in 50 weeks in 50 states. We love a bad stunt when we see one and are frankly jealous we didn't think of it first.
Starting next week, Seddiqui will be working in Elk River for a medical, industrial, computer and aerospace device company. This will be his fifth week on the mission. He's already lined up 35 jobs including working as a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Colorado and announcing for the South Dakota Rodeo Association. This week he's was a cartographer in North Dakota.
According to the Star Tribune story:
Seddiqui came up with the idea of working in every state - and possibly finding his dream job - after he bounced from job to job after graduating with an economics degree in 2005 from the University of Southern California. "I failed 40 to 50 job interviews," Seddiqui said.
Undaunted, he has held a raft of positions ranging from coaching cross-country running at Northwestern University to painting steps to tutoring elementary school-age children and doing accounting for a biomedical firm. He even coached football, even though he never played the game.
Seddiqui admits that spending eight months on the phone securing one-week paid and non-paid positions "is an odd way to find jobs and an odd way to get into most careers."
We won't argue with you on that one. Check out his Web site photos and blog for more info.

Britain's first specialist clinic for child victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) is set to open here next month, nearly 30 years after the practice was banned in the country.
The clinic, at University College London, will provide medical and psychological treatment to girls.
Doctors will also carry out examinations if the police are not sure if mutilation has occurred, the BBC reported today.
FGM includes procedures that remove or injure female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
Dangers include severe bleeding, problems urinating, infections, infertility, mental health problems, complications in childbirth and increased risk of death for newborns.
The practice has been illegal in the UK since 1985 but the first prosecutions, which are currently ongoing, were not until this year.
Doctors at the clinic will also be able to take medical photographs of victims' injuries, give witness statements and testify in court.

Published in Company Comment on 3 May 2012
This FTSE 100 resource stock has grown by 20 times in 20 years.
When you think of safe but profitable oil and gas investments in the FTSE 100, you probably think of Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: RDSB) or BP (LSE: BP) -- I know I did. But you may have been missing a rather impressive alternative.
BG Group's (LSE: BG) share price has risen by 20 times since 1992. In comparison, the FTSE 100 is currently just 2.1 times than it was in May 1992.
BG Group's long-term record puts most other big-cap oil and gas companies in the shade, as these figures show:
Source: Morningstar, Digital Look
BG Group is not a big dividend payer, typically yielding just over 1%, but its capital growth has more than compensated for this over the last decade. Indeed, anyone who bought BG shares 10 years ago at 306p will now be enjoying a yield of 4.9%!
One of the keys to BG Group's long-term success has been its ownership of the whole production cycle.
It has carefully built up its asset base so that it owns exploration activities, production assets, transportation, terminals and long-term gas supply contracts all over the world. By doing this it can take a slice of profits at any stage of the chain -- and still make money.
BG Group's Q1 earnings were released today, and they make pretty good reading for BG shareholders. Operating profit rose by 21% to $2.4bn, while cash generated by operations rose 47% to $2.6bn. Earnings per share rose 54% to 37.3 cents per share.
The company's production output rose by 5% to 60.9mmboe (million barrels of oil equivalent), while LNG operating profit reached $812m -- up 42% thanks in part to a post-Fukushima surge of demand in Japan.
BG has also been busy on the exploration and production side, with additional production starting up in Norway, Thailand, Egypt and Bolivia and new gas discoveries in Tanzania.
According to BG Group Chief Executive Sir Frank Chapman: "These new sources of production will, at plateau, add around 50 000 barrels of oil equivalent per day net to the Group's production; helping to keep us on track to deliver our 6% to 8% annual average growth rate through to 2020."
BG's global diversity means that it produces supplies gas all over the world. This means it can take advantage of regional price differences for gas, which are much greater than for oil, due to transportation difficulties.
For example, while an oversupply of shale gas means that natural gas prices averaged just $2.74 per million British thermal units (mmbtu) in the USA over the last quarter, in the UK the average was $9.35/mmbtu and in Asia it was $16/mmbtu.
A look at BG Group's share price might suggest that it is too late to get in on the action. Yet I'm not sure it is. The market for gas is growing worldwide as countries increasingly switch from coal and nuclear generation to gas-fired power stations, which provide a happy compromise in terms of cost, pollution and disaster risk.
What's more, this trend is likely to be replicated in the coming decades in India and China, and emerging economies all over the world will drive a general increase in energy consumption.
I think there is still some mileage left in the BG Group juggernaut -- and I am seriously considering adding some to my portfolio.

BG not being a dividend payer rules it out for me.I held it for a while last year, during which time its SP went up and down (a lot) and during which time it paid me a very small dividend of about £10.
The edge that Royal Dutch Shell and BP have is a respectable yield... but there are good points written here and elsewhere that suggest BG are good long-term hold. One thing that concerns me though is the doubling of accidents last year, partly through riskier extraction processes... is this an indication of systemic risk-taking that could lead to another Gulf of Mexico?
Whats the returns of the 3 companies including dividends? That would be interesting.
bg is my only pick based on growth hopes.having averaged buying at 1070 over the last 3 years its working so far.and it does pay A dividend which is important.i'm betting LNG will get much bigger.
@Excel35The total return column in the table does include dividends - it assumes that all dividends were reinvested.Hope this helps,Roland (article author)

On the morning of July 13, 2008, Cpl. Jason Bogar fired some 600 rounds of ammunition at Taliban fighters trying to overrun his small observation post in a rugged corner of eastern Afghanistan.
He stopped only long enough to reload his weapon, and tend to the wounded, tying a tourniquet around the bloody right leg of a comrade, Sgt. Ryan Pitts.
Bogar, of Seattle, was part of the battle of Wanat, which ranks as one of the fiercest clashes in America's longest war. It also is one of the most controversial, due to command decisions that left Bogar's unit so vulnerable to enemy attack.
As American casualties mounted, Bogar was one of the few from the observation post still able to move about. After his machine gun jammed, he grabbed another weapon and left the protection of the sandbags to try to get closer to insurgents shooting from buildings.

Soon after, Bogar died from a bullet through his neck.
"He jumped out of the bunker to kill the people who were picking them off. He didn't make it too far," says his mother, Carlene Cross.
On July 21, Cross will be at the White House as the sacrifices of that day are recalled when President Obama bestows the Medal of Honor on Pitts.
Pitts, despite his injuries, fought on and helped prevent the observation post from being overrun.
By the time the battle was over, nine Americans had died and 27 were wounded out of a contingent of fewer than 50 troops who occupied the observation post and a larger compound in the village of Wanat.
Pitts says there were plenty of heroes at Wanat, among the living and the dead. He initially was unhappy when word broke that he was under consideration for the nation's highest military honor
"I didn't feel like I deserved it," Pitts told The Seattle Times. "Time has been good to process this. I have come to the realization — the truth — that it belongs to all of us. It's not mine. We all earned it. I didn't do any more than anyone else that day."
According to an Army narrative, this is what Pitts did that day:
After Bogar tied the tourniquet, Pitts began lobbing hand grenades, holding them for a moment once the safety pins had been released so there would be no time for the insurgents to toss them back into the observation post.
He then picked up a machine gun, blind-firing over a wall because he could not stand on his injured leg.
He finally grabbed a grenade launcher, shooting nearly straight overhead to hit Taliban just on the outside of the perimeter.
At the start of the battle, there had been nine soldiers at the observation post.
Five of those soldiers died during the fight. Three others were able to dash back to the larger compound, unaware that the wounded Pitts was left behind.
More than an hour into the battle, four soldiers from the compound made their way to the observation post. They found Pitts barely hanging on, severely weakened by blood loss and multiple concussions.
Pitts was evacuated from Afghanistan, and ended up at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Several weeks into his stay there, Pitts called Cross to talk to her about her son's actions on the last day of his life.
Pitts' wounds healed. He left the Army in 2009 at the rank of staff sergeant, and returned to his native New England, where he lives in Nashua, N.H., and works for a computer-software company.
In late June, Pitts called Cross again. This time, he invited her to the White House Medal of Honor ceremony.
"I did tell her that it's Jason's just as much as it is mine," Pitts said. '"There are a lot of guys. I can't just single out one person. But his actions helped save my life. He kept calm … and in combat, fear and panic can be contagious."
Bogar, a Bothell High School graduate, joined the Washington National Guard in 2000. After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, he decided to enlist in the active-duty Army. Bogar had hopes of one day attending art school, and displayed a talent for photography as he took pictures of children his unit encountered in Afghanistan.
In the aftermath of his death, Cross joined other parents of the deceased in pressing the Army to investigate what happened in Wanat.
In the days before the battle, C Company, part of the Italy-based 173 Airborne Brigade, had struggled with shortages of food, fuel and heavy machinery. Lacking excavating equipment, the troops dug fortifications by scraping the rocky soil with their bare hands.
Two days after the battle, U.S. troops withdrew from Wanat, ceding control to the Taliban.
An investigation found fault with leaders. But a general declined to issue any letters of reprimand, saying he feared a chilling effect on the conduct of battlefield commanders who must make difficult decisions.
The parents kept up their pressure.
A subsequent Department of Defense Inspector's general oversight review affirmed that the battalion commander, "through neglect, was derelict in the performance of his duty" and that the brigade commander also was culpable of dereliction of duty.
Cross, who works at the University of Washington, says she has struggled to get over bitter feelings about those who led her son in this war.
"I spent a couple of years working for accountability, and found that I was pretty angry. But I realized that Jason wouldn't want me to live my life as an angry person, and I had to release that anger, and celebrate his sacrifice."
Pitts says he finds no fault with leadership. He says he would still follow them anywhere.
Pitts says the focus should stay on the soldiers who fought at Wanat, and "what we did together."
"We need to tell our story. Especially for the guys that didn't come home."

hope that u have found something that works by now.my baby is 2 1/2 months old and she too has eczema. i know how difficult it is. Ive tried many things like (baby Eucerin Aquaphor) its an ointment but it was too greasy. but just recently found something that works. Aveeno baby soothing bath treatment it has oatmeal in it and it really calms her down when her breakout gets really bad. followed by Aveeno baby soothing relief moisture cream all over her body. her pediatrician also perscribed Hydrocortizone cream 1%. for the areas under her arms forearms and legs. just make sure you dress her and sleep her on the softest material possible,(i reccomend using Dreft baby detergent) pat her dry when you bathe her. good luck and try to hang in there hope ur baby is doing betterposted 09/26/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter has had really bad eczema since birth. If you have more ?s feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or through babycenter. Here are the methods I use to prevent flare-ups: 1. Don't let people with cologne or perfume touch the child's bare skin or they will break out. 2. Only use non-fragrance everything such as All Free and Clear detergent (that goes for your clothes too) , unscented dryer sheets, etc. 3. Keep them away from pets! 4. Only use Dove (extra sensitive) or Ivory Soap [both are fragrance free] 5. Give your baby oatmeal baths these will help to calm the skin and prevent flare ups. 6. DON'T USE THE MEDS, these have steriods in them and according to my doctor and lots of FDA research they have bad side-effects in children. 7. Always keep the child well lotioned otherwise, if there is dry skin the eczema will flare up. The best lotion is Aquarphore. Yes Eucerin is made by the same company and way cheaper, but it does not work as wellposted 05/22/2009 by Senora_Sanchez
My daughter has the same condition too. She have a really dry skin when she was 4 months old. One of my friend told me that the secret to dry skin is keeping it hydrated. Each doctor and specialist said it was eczema and they were prescribed the same thing: hydrocortisone cream. The cream would help some areas, but doctors didn't recommended using it often or over Julia's full body because of its high potency. When I was breastfeeding Julia, I changed my diet to provide more nutritious milk. I ate more berries and dark greens to pass useful anti-inflammatory elements on to her. I also took a teaspoon of fish oil each day to improve Julia's skin moisture levels and decrease inflammation. But then she still have eczema. Completely frustrated, I began doing my own research. I found this book from http://pregnancyhours.com/childeczema by sheer accident. After reading it, I feel like I understand what triggers my daughter's eczema and most importantly how to help her feel better.posted 03/25/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is 4 months old and she has very bad eczema, I tried eucerin cream and hydrocortizone cream first and it didnt help. the doctor also said only do water baths that the soap dries the only oil that her body can produce out. I have tried aquaphor, coconut oil, lubriderm, vaseline, and a few other things. The only thing that has helped her is i found a eucerin body wash and i use that followed by vaseline all over her body and coconut oil on he hands so she wont eat the vaseline. She has made a big improvement doing this every morning and adding the vaseline and coconut oil throughout the day as needed and also at bedtime. I wash everything in ALL free and clear, our doctor said that the dyes in the dreft will irritate her. Also animal dandruff, peoples perfumes or colognes, and anything that is handmade will break her out ( i guess bc of the material im not sure about that) but we havent used any since and she has done alot better.posted 03/25/2015 by slynnb0314
My daughter doesn't have excema but has super sensitive skin. Our dermatologist recommended we do everything Aveeno. The oatmeal nth, the excema approved lotion, everything. What a transformation! Hope everything works out for youposted 02/27/2014 by AK521
I would reccomend to anyone reading this to NOT use Dreft baby detergent on a baby with eczema. It has dyes and fragrance added. Try something that is fragrance and dye free like All free and clear.posted 05/22/2009 by martinnl
Someone may have already suggested this, but my doc told me to do wet to dry jammies for my LO. We bathe every night, then I take Cotten footed Jammies, soak them and ring them out really well. Then put dry footed fleece jammies over, then we lotion up in the morning with Cetaphil (or any mild cream). Also put a humidifier in the room every night. Hope that helps!posted 01/31/2013 by Chupester

My son is 8 months old and has eczema all over his torso. I was treating him with Hydrocortizone cream and Eucerine which helped. At his last dr. appt. my doctor said to not use the Hydrocortizone cream unless the rash is really bad because it causes the loss of skin pigments. He told me to keep using the Eucerine, but that doesn't sem to be working as well. I was told that this happens to many babies and they will grow out of it.posted 04/03/2009 by aschueller1

Well, here's a movie we haven't been talking about much, but leave it one of the stars to get news on the film moving again. Last we heard, the Nic Cage-led sequel "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" was shooting in Eastern Europe with "Crank" writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor strapping on roller skates and swinging from trees or doing whatever they do in shooting the film. Remarkably, the villain has been kept under wraps until now -- which probably speaks to geek curiosity around project (ie. none) -- but actor Johnny Whitworth finally spilled the beans.
In an interview with AMC Theaters (via MTV), Whitworth revealed, "I'm not a very nice guy. I'm bad. I get turned into, for those who read 'Ghost Rider', the character Blackout. I get turned into him by the Devil to complete my job. That gives me the fortitude to fight Ghost Rider and the supernatural abilities to compete on some level with that guy."
The muddy origins of Blackout in the comics likely have given Neveldine and Taylor some room to play. The story goes that Deathwatch hired Blackout to steal something, but he is stopped by Ghost Rider who would end up disfiguring his face leading to a long standing grudge between the two. Blackout also kills Ghost Rider's sister in the comics as well. No word if either of those stories will play into the movie but it doesn't seem like it. At any rate it looks like the Devil (played by Ciaran Hinds) will play a part in Blackout getting his powers. Now that we know all this, we aren't any more excited to see the movie.
"Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" will hit theaters on February 17, 2012 and will also star Violante Placido and Idris Elba.

Report: "
The distinctive, planet-encircling flows of the Southern Ocean have played a role in moderating global warming, but change is at hand with the water heating up, getting less salty, storing more carbon, and growing more acidic. These changes could lead to rises in sea levels, changing weather patterns, and the inability of marine life to form shells, skeletons, and reefs. These are some of the findings of Position Analysis: Climate Change and the Southern Ocean, a report released today by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (ACE CRC)."

Newsletter for the Section on Statistical Education
Volume 2, Number 2 (Summer 1996)
As the editor of the special issue, I invited authors to submit papers on teaching or learning, with the one restriction that each manuscript describe empirical research on this issue. The papers were submitted for peer review and revision, and those that were eventually accepted cover a broad range of topics. All of the authors and I hope that many readers will find the contents of this special issue to be both thought-provoking and useful for those involved in (or simply interested in) the teaching and learning of statistics.
The issue begins with a paper on the evaluation of textbooks for statistics by Harwell, Herrick, Curtis, Mundfrom and Gold. The authors outline a scheme for rating statistics texts, based on the broader literature on text evaluation. They provide several instruments (printed in the issue) suitable for use by teachers, students, or independent "experts." The authors hope that readers will use these instruments with their own texts and classes, and communicate their results and suggestions for refinement of the evaluation scheme to the authors.
The next paper deals with instruction and learning. Cohen, Smith, Chechile, Burns and Tsai describe findings from an effort to teach and assess statistics learning with interactive computer software (ConStatS). They describe misconceptions held by students, based on an analysis of errors made by students using ConStatS. Their provocative claims should provide food for thought for all who teach statistics, whether using software or more traditional instructional methods.
In the third paper, Schram describes a meta-analysis of studies of gender differences in post-secondary statistics achievement. Many have wondered whether the male advantages observed in mathematics at lower grade levels persist in statistics classes in college or beyond. Schram finds small overall gender differences, but discovers that on average, females outperform males. However, the study results are not all consistent with a common gender effect, thus Schram explores several factors (including type of achievement outcome, department offering the course, and sex of the researcher) that explain variation in the sizes of gender differences.
The issue closes with an updated analysis of the literature on teaching statistics in education, with a focus on the literature as a resource for statistics instructors (Becker, 1996). Also I describe some of the electronic resources for teaching (as well as research on statistics instruction) now available on the Internet.

OK guys. I don't do it much but occasionally I do put up the soft top. But mine is so difficult to handle I don't like fooling around with it anymore. Is there a way I could maybe get TJ style hardware to work on mine. One that I can just go topless and back real quick. I know my 5 is shorter and I would have to do some modifying in that area but it could work right?

Soft topTags: None
Nope, sorry. I have to say you are stuck with the crappy tops that are out for the CJ-5's. I swore at bestop when I was driving my CJ-5. That for some reason it the only top they make that isn't worth crap. I find out from others who have 5's the other manufactures are not any better. Something about the style of the 5's.
If you do find a way to get a good top please let me know as I still have that CJ-5 and plan to fix it up someday. As it is I am giving away the bestop on it now to someone else on the board here that has no top. I guess a bad top in his mind was better than no top.
It is new isn't it. I loved mine also. However with lots of up and down the velcro flaps gives way and you end up with wings when you are driving down the highway at 55mph.
That is whay I hate the bestop ones. I do not have this problem with any other Bestop, only the CJ-5. I have seen and heard others complain about the same thing.
And before you ask the top was two years old.

DUNKERQUE, France, March 23. THE sixth day of long course meter competition at the French Olympic Trials witnessed a French record by Ben Stasilius as French swimmers continued to battle through a convoluted qualification process.
Women's 200 breast
Cuts: Heats: 2:32.00; Semis: 2:28.55; Finals: 2:26.89
Morocco's Sara El Bekri won the event with a time of 2:26.99, just .10 off the FINA A cut in the event that would have guaranteed her a spot at the 2012 London Olympics. Coralie Dobral finished second in 2:28.63, while Geraldine Huffner took third in 2:32.91. No one from France secured an Olympic spot in the event. Fanny Babou (2:33.21), Adeline Martin (2:33.98), Julia Vendeville (2:35.04), Adeline Thenot (2:35.11) and Claire Polit (2:40.37) completed the championship finale.
Men's 200 back
Cuts: Semis: 1:59.77; Finals: 1:58.48
Ben Stasiulis topped the 200 back with a French-record time of 1:56.39, trumping the 1:56.64 set by Pierre Roger at French Nationals in 2009. Stasiulis jumped up to a 20th-place tie with Hayden Stoeckel in the all time rankings, but still is looking up in the annual rankings at top-ranked Ryosuke Irie (1:54.02). Along with his semifinal time of 1:57.28, Stasiulus grabbed a spot on the Olympic roster.
Eric Ress was the hard-luck second-place finisher, just missing out on the Olympic team by .30 seconds. Ress, who burned a year of eligibility at Indiana University to compete at the French Olympic Trials instead of the NCAA Division I Men's Championships this week, clocked an identical time in finals as his 1:58.78 in semis. He made the semifinal cut, but his finals time missed the 1:58.48 to make the Olympic roster. His times put him 10th in the world this year.
Joris Hustache (2:01.38), Rufino Regueira (2:01.70), Alexis Cabrol (2:01.90), Eddie Moueddene (2:02.36), Florian Joly (2:02.59) and Romain Beraud (2:05.49) rounded out the championship heat.
Men's 200 IM
Cuts: Heats: 2:04.00; Semis: 2:01.84; Finals: 2:00.17
No one made the automatic cut in this event. Guillaume Strohmeyer touched out Ganesh Pedurand, 2:03.00 to 2:03.20. Romain Landry placed third in 2:03.59. Victor Migeon (2:04.08), Quentin Coton (2:04.34), Arnaud Rondan (2:04.67), Christophe Soulier (2:04.97) and Gaetan Quirin (2:05.99) also vied for the national title.
Women's 100 free
Cuts: Semis: 55.05; Finals: 54.57
French missed placing an automatic swimmer into the individual 100 free. The nation did, however, stock its 400 free relay. Charlotte Bonnet (55.43), Mylene Lazare (55.50), Margaux Fabre (56.26) and Margaux Farrell (56.32) earned the top four spots in the event. Beryl Gastaldello (56.41), Maria-Elena Letang (56.60), Isabelle Mabboux (56.71) and Alizee Merdy (57.43) also competed in the finale.
Men's 50 free
Cuts: Finals: 22.11
Florent Manaudou led Fred Bousquet, 21.86 to 22.02, into the finals as Manaudou jumped to second in the world with the effort. Only James Magnussen has been faster with a 21.74 from Australian Trials this month. Bousquet moved to ninth with the swim. Amaury Leveaux (22.10) also demonstrated the ability to clear the FINA A cut with a third-place swim heading into finals. Fabien Gilot (22.29), Alain Bernard (22.34), Nosy Pelagie (22.46), Yoris Grandjean (22.65) and Boris Steimetz (22.65) also made finals.
Women's 200 back
Cuts: Finals: 2:10.84
Laure Manaudou, who earlier in the meet made her third Olympic team by qualifying in the 100 back, has been on point so far. She dominated the distance dorsal semifinal rounds with a 2:10.88, just barely off the FINA A cut she will need in the finale. Today's time pushed her to 19th in the world rankings.
Marie Jugnet (2:13.19), Aleksandra Putra (2:13.24), Alexianne Castel (2:13.57), Camille Gheorghiu (2:13.83), Cloe Credeville (2:15.30), Justine Ress (2:17.01) and Fantine Lesaffre (2:17.83) earned the rest of the transfer spots into the finale.
Men's 100 fly
Cuts: Heats: 54.00; Semis: 52.62; Finals: 52.36
Clement Lefert, another swimmer missing NCAAs to vie for an Olympic spot after focusing on Trials instead of swimming for the University of Southern California, missed the semifinal cut by a mere .06 seconds. Lefert led the way with a 52.68, good enough for 19th in the world rankings, but not good enough to make the French semifinal cut. He made the prelim cut with a 52.69 during heats. Lefert, however, did already make the team as part of the 400 free relay.
Romain Sassot took second in 52.70, also missing the semifinal cut, while USA's Tyler McGill posted a third-place 52.83. Mehdy Metella (52.96), Christophe Lebon (53.15), Paul Lemaire (53.97), Jordan Coelho (54.15) and Thomas Vilaceca (54.22) also picked up finals swims.

Soups and stews are an all time favorite. They represent a maximum degree of efficiency in cooking, variety, cost effectiveness and creativity, which makes them just plain smart cooking. A generous bonus is found in the magnificent flavor. They may be rustic or fancy, simple or complicated; although I must question the soundness of making them complicated.
14 people want to try | 28 have favorited
Place chicken and Boston butt in an extremely large pot along with one whole peeled onion, a bay leaf and one tablespoon kosher salt. Cover with water and simmer 3 to 4 hours or until both chicken and pork are shreddable. Remove chicken and pork and let cool. When they've cooled enough to handle, remove bones, skin and excess fat. Shred. Strain cooking broth and return to large pot.
Chop the remaining 4 onions and add to the extremely large pot. I want the meat and onions to cook all alone to give the onion flavor a chance to permeate the meat before the other ingredients were added.
Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Permeate, onions, permeate! After 30 minutes, add peeled and chopped potatoes. Don't make the chopped size any smaller than an inch or the potatoes will cook to mush.
And…..here's the rest of the gang ready for the extremely large pot. I use fresh corn, okra and butter beans if available. If not, I will substitute good quality frozen. Fresh or canned tomatoes may be used.
Add Tobasco sauce and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve hot.

190 Bowery: Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
Posted By Jim On 09/23/2008 @ 3:24 pm In Personal Finance | 1 Comment
On the outside, it looks like graffiti-covered dump.
On the inside, 190 Bowery in Manhattan is a six-story, 72-room, 35,000 square foot single family home that is absolutely gorgeous. It was once the home of Germania Bank and was built in 1898.
Jay Maisel [3], a well-known photographer, bought the building forty-two years ago for $102,000 and has lived in it since with his wife Linda and daughter Amanda. When he got it, it "was knee-deep in garbage and coated in soot." He said his parents cried when they found out and that "Every single thing that can come out of a human body has been left on my doorstep. But it was more disgusting than dangerous."
The slideshow [4] is a collection of eleven beautiful photographs covering every floor of the building. The home is estimated to be worth at least $30 million. There are more photos in this interview with Jay Maisel [5] (interview [6]).

Hi All,
I recently updated my camera from D90 to D600. I shoot in RAW make some changes in NX2 and convert to TIFF for some final editing in Photoshop. I didn't change this process during the camera upgrade but I noticed the file sizes of the D600 and D90 in RAW were 20mb for D600 to 10mb for D90 which makes sense. Now when I convert it to 16 bit TIFF in NX2 the file size is 5mb for the D600 and 70mb for D90. Am I missing something or should the D600 converted TIFF files be larger than the DX format.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Hi Dan - I am following the same process and my 16 bit TIFFs come out at around 140MB. Check all your settings in the conversion pop up box!

Reader who wrote offensive comments against religious scholars on certain website asks Rabbi Sherlo's advice on atonement. Answer includes three stages
Published: 10.07.11, 14:07 / Israel Jewish Scene
The talkbacks are often offensive, although not legally problematic. Still, after a talkback is published, its writer can no longer take it back and delete it.
This is what happened to a reader who regretted a talkback he sent to a certain website. He decided to turn to Rabbi Yuval Sherlo, head of the Petah Tikva Hesder Yeshiva, for advice.
"So what should be done to make amends? There are three stages to this amendment (and we are talking about hurting any person, not necessarily scholars):
"B. Try to repair the damage. You can't erase what has been written, but you can write other talkbacks (of course only if that's what you really thinks, and not lies) mentioning the good things about the person you hurt. Here too, each case must be considered individually as it can sometimes be a touch of slander in itself and can evoke harsh words against that person, but you must do all in your power to restore the offended person's reputation.

They Say: Kids Who Use Tech Are Better Writers?Amy Kuras
Okay, I'll admit to pushing 40 and being an enormous freaking crabapple curmudgeon, but this little headline really sent me over the edge:
"Children who use technology are 'better writers'".
Yeeeaaahhhh. I have young folks as Facebook friends, and sorry, I have no high hopes here for The Great American Novel — or even a cogent paragraph — out of most of these kids. And they're not dumb kids, generally. I understand the form lends itself to a nonstandard mode of expression, and obviously the style I use here on Strollerderby is a lot different than what you'll find in my journalistic work. But lack of capitalization, goofy punctuation and phonetic-at-best spelling seem to be the order of the day with younger people in particular.
Reading the article, though, everything becomes much more clear. See, it's the kids themselves who are evaluating their writing skills. Britain's Naitonal Literacy Trust surveyed 3,001 children aged nine to 16. They're all heavy users of technology — 24 percent had their own blog, 82 percent sent text messages at least once a month and 73 percent used instant messaging services to chat online with friends.
Of the children who neither blogged nor used social network sites, 47% rated their writing as "good" or "very good", while 61% of the bloggers and 56% of the social networkers said the same.
I'm wondering if their teachers, parents or other adults in their lives would say the same. I kind of doubt it, despite teachers in the article that happily burble about how any kind of writing, no matter how subliterate in tone, is still writing.
I see you rolling your eyes, Missy. Make that face and it'll freeze like that. Also? Get off my lawn.

Oracle were informed on these issues discussed in these papers on the 11th
and 13th of October 2009.

George Clooney's DeVito hangoverGeorge Clooney has revealed he suffered a three day hangover after getting drunk with Danny DeVito.
The 'Ocean's Thirteen' star said he felt terrible for days after the wild night out.
Clooney told Britain's OK magazine: "Danny's a grown man and he can drink what he wants. I was in bed at 11.30!
"They brought out the limoncello and we were both doing morning shows and I was worried about him, but I survived a little better than he did. I think.
"It's like a three day hangover so you have to pace yourself - but I was dumping those shots of limoncello!"
DeVito so drunk after partying with Clooney that he discussed his sex life live on a chat show the next morning .
Clooney says he is too old to party as hard as he used to.
He said: "I don't get so blazing any more because it hurts so much."

Ground broken for Denniston Place in LewesTown home complex inspired by France
Lewes — In a "ground adding" ceremony, local businessman Cliff Diver officially kicked off the construction phase of the Denniston Place townhome project in Lewes.
Located at the corner of Savannah Road and Massachusetts Avenue in Lewes Beach, the complex will consist of two buildings of four townhomes surrounding a French-inspired serenity garden.
"I wanted to say thanks to Lewes for showing some faith in what we're trying to do here," Diver said at the ceremony. "This is something 10 to 15 years from now you'll drive by and think 'that was a pretty good one.'"
Diver is working with John Schneider of Broadpoint Construction to bring his vision to fruition. Construction is expected to begin soon. Diver has entrusted realtors Carrie Lingo and Murray Padgett with selling the units, and to date three of the eight units have been sold.
Denniston Place is being constructed on the former home of the Lewes Post Office annex. When the postal service moved its distribution center to Rehoboth Beach, the annex building was left vacant.
Diver, the property owner, approached the city with the idea of a townhome project. Using a special exception in city code for building residential units in the marine commercial district, Diver was able to win approval for his project.

The "Marketing Cloud" is taking the industry by storm and other companies are beginning to figure it out. As Gartner predicted, CMOs would outspend CIOs on IT by the year 2017 and companies are on track to provide a solution these leaders want.
Social media is one area where these CMOs will be spending their budgets. Email, mobile and marketing automation are additional areas of focus and that's just the start. Each of the areas have specific tools to enable workflow and support marketing initiatives. In the Marketing Cloud, multiple toolsets are brought together in one platform. We have seen in the social media space, larger companies are acquiring social tools left and right. Many large companies who acquire these niche tools are trying to build or create the next Marketing Cloud. Ultimately, with all these tools in one platform, The Marketing Cloud will enable integration across multiple brand touch points for a consistent experience. It will also create a loyal customer who will purchase their multiple marketing tools under one platform umbrella.
In a Marketing Cloud, there are multiple toolsets in a one platform. This provides a consistent experience, integration across your brand, workflow improvement and increased efficiency. It will take the guesswork out of the customer's hands on researching what tool they should purchase next to automate their marketing channels. Additionally, this platform will allow marketers to tailor campaigns to specific customers based on their journey with the marketer's brand. Measurement is also a big task for CMOs, which is why Marketing Cloud's ties analytics into each platform.
However, multiple tools have different capabilities. If you like the email tool from Oracle, but like the social toolset from ETMC, it could cause some gray area of using multiple platforms. Prices may start to increase and integration may be limited.
We are at the tipping point right now where these tools have been acquired, but they are still in the beginning stages and are working together to integrate multiple tools as one. The latest video released of the Salesforce Exact Target Marketing Cloud demonstrates this.
Overtime, we will see these evolve and more CMOs will allocate their budgets to purchase these tools. Below is a current list of the Marketing Cloud platforms:
•Salesforce Exact Target Marketing Cloud
•Adobe Marketing Cloud
•IBM Marketing Cloud
•Oracle Marketing Cloud
•HP – The Autonomy Marketing Cloud
For a summary on these tools and who might be in the lead, check out this review.

If Hamilton decides to go McLaren should try to get Massa. He is one of the fastest drivers out there people seem to forget the only team that has beaten Massa is Alonso and that for obvious reasons Button and Massa would be a great lineup for McLaren.

- John S. Pistole
- Deputy Director
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- Miami Terrorism Arrests Press Conference
- Washington, DC
- June 23, 2006
Good morning.
Today's indictment is an important step forward in the war on terrorism here in the U.S. As you know, the FBI's highest priority is preventing another terrorist attack. And thanks to the efforts of each agent and officer who worked on this case, together, we identified and disrupted a terrorist plot—before any harm could be done. This investigation reveals outstanding work by the law enforcement community. It also reminds us that we have more work to do. As the indictment alleges, the threat of terrorism exists right here on American soil.
Like other groups we have detected and prosecuted over the last several years, these seven individuals are members of a home-grown terrorist cell. They lived and worked in the United States and enjoyed all the freedoms our great nation offers. Yet they pledged their allegiance to al Qaeda.
Their goal was simple: to commit violent attacks against America. They sought funding, support, materials, and weapons for their mission. They initiated a plot to blow up targets, including the Sears Tower and government buildings. They conducted surveillance. They conspired to murder countless Americans through attacks that would be, in their words, "just as good or greater than 9/11." But we disrupted their plot before they could cause harm.
This case reminds us that while we have made tremendous progress in combating terrorism, the struggle is far from over. We cannot afford to become complacent. The threat is real and the stakes are high.
Across the United States, the law enforcement community is rising to the challenge. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in Miami led the effort to detect and disrupt this terrorist cell, and our success is due to the outstanding work of our partners in federal, state, and local law enforcement. We worked closely with a number of them: the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS, the ATF, the Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Secret Service, the Miami Police Department, the Miami-Dade Police Department, the Miramar Police Department, the Broward County Sheriff's Office, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, and the Hollywood Police Department. I would like to thank these agencies for their work and for their continued partnership.
This investigation is a significant success, but our work is not finished. The FBI will continue to be vigilant in fighting terrorism both here and abroad. We will continue to work with our partners throughout the country towards our common mission to secure American citizens and safeguard American freedoms.
Thank you.

It was all very friendly wasn't it! Valentino even said he was "A big fan" of Casey when interviewed in parcferme!! It was good to actually see some good racing and typical it was between these two! Such a shame Casey is retiring, but seeing his beautifull little girl, it's no surprise really - I bet she is the real reason behind it all as who would want to miss out on her growing up!! Good race, good to see such appreciation from two of the best riders there!!

Red Devil lye
Well I finally got all of my silver clean and out of the nitric and was going to use Red devil lye to convert it from cloride, however since it is used to make meth it is no longer sold in this state. Is there anything else I can use or another process? I have read somewhere a solution of battery acid and iron will work is that right?
Oh Ralph was right I had a lot of tin in the silver. I removed the tin with Hcl and at the same time most of the copper.

Why is my 7 month old suddenly crying all of the time?
She was such a good baby -super easy going, easy to get to sleep, smiling all the time- until about 4 days ago and now she seems to always be upset. Last night she screamed her head off for more than hour before falling asleep and then she was waking up almost every hour. I checked to see if she was hungry, had a dirty diaper, had to burp....I have no idea why this is happening and I feel very helpless. Any ideas?

Judge lifts order blocking Boone mine
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A federal judge has lifted a court order that had temporarily blocked continued mining operations at a mountaintop removal site in Boone County.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers denied a request from the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and other groups for a preliminary injunction against a Clean Water Act permit for Loadout LLC's Nellis Surface Mine.
Chambers had previously issued a temporary restraining order blocking that permit until he could hear more detailed arguments from environmental groups, the company and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In a three-page order issued Thursday, Chambers said that the company had already "substantially constructed and utilized" two valley fill waste piles in Davey Fork at the time the permit was issued in 2009.
"Continuing to use those fills will result in additional fill material being placed on the fill and small additional lengths of the stream being filled in the uppermost reaches of the affected waters," the judge wrote.
"Significant environmental harm has already occurred and cannot be undone, even if plaintiffs ultimately prevail," the judge wrote. "The additional harm that may result from completing the fill activities is speculative and insufficient to support injunctive relief as to the Dave Fork fills."
The ruling does not necessarily end the lawsuit, however.
Chambers wrote that Loadout does not anticipate any fill activities in Mech Fork over the next two years, a time frame that allows the court to fully hear arguments over the mining operations in that area.
