Location, clubhouse enhance Cinco Ranch patio homes
Published 12:01 pm, Thursday, January 31, 2013
West Houston's Cinco Ranch offers amenities including The Beach Club, The Water Park, The Golf Club and the wooded Bayou Trail.
Residents of Cinco Ranch's new Ashfield Gardens neighborhood - offering patio homes priced from the $220,000s to $400,000s - can enjoy all of these, plus a clubhouse amenity being built for that neighborhood.
Visitors can preview this new amenity, which opens this spring, while they tour four new decorated models with features including covered patios, enclosed courtyards and hobby rooms.
The Ashfield Gardens clubhouse will include an air-conditioned fitness center, a party room and a kitchen, with nearly 3,000 square feet. Outside, it will include a covered porch with an outdoor kitchen, and a gathering area with a firepit.
The amenity includes a park with a quarter-mile walking trail. For residents who would like to enjoy a longer trail, Spring Lake is across the street from Ashfield Gardens. This 37-acre lake is lined with greenbelt trails and waterfront park space, connecting residents to miles of trails winding throughout Cinco Ranch.
Ashfield Gardens is within walking distance of The Lake House, a LEED-qualified clubhouse that hosts a year-round calendar of classes and activities, such as yoga, zumba, DIY crafts and art classes.
More Information
Take I-10 west to Grand Parkway and turn left (south). Turn right on Cinco Ranch Boulevard and right on Spring Green. Visit online at www.cincoranch.com/patio.
Located off Cinco Ranch Boulevard and Spring Green Drive, Ashfield Gardens is within walking distance of some of the newest shopping attractions in Cinco Ranch. It is near LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, a main street-style destination with dozens of restaurants, coffee shops, retailers and salons.
"We saved this location in Cinco Ranch for a special neighborhood like Ashfield Gardens," said Heather Gustafson, marketing director for Newland Communities. "Home buyers looking to scale down to a luxuriously appointed patio home may appreciate the nearby recreational amenities and shopping, as well as the clubhouse."

Visit the Bahamas' only zoo and see the renowned marching
flamingo shows. The zoo was opened in 1937 by the Jamaican
horticulturalist Hedley Vivian Edwards, and has been running since
then. In the 1950's, the zoo hosted many flamingoes brought onto
the islands in an attempt to revive the island's dwindling natural
populations. The cheme worked well, so well that many of the
flamingoes weren't needed for release into the wild and remained in
the zoo, forming the start of the famous marching flamingo
Originally only containing a handful of animals, the park is now
home to more than 300 animals. Visitors can even encounter Bahamian
boa constrictors, raptors and parrots as their trainers walk them
along pathways throughout the zoo. There are special showtimes
daily that allow visitors to hand-feed lory parrots, and a new
feature is the jungle that contains lemurs from Madagascar and
Capuchin monkeys. The natural setting of Ardastra Gardens allows
many of the birds to roam Address: West Bay StreetWebsite: www.ardastra.comEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com: +1242 323 5806Opening Time: Open daily from 9am to 5pm. Closed Christmas Day,

Chapter OneOpen Arms, Open Minds
For the sake of those involved, I will say only this: my moral, ethical, and, if not spiritual, let's say existential coming-of-age took place in a more or less rectangular-shaped state in the Midwest-closer to the West Coast than the east by maybe one hundred miles, closer to Canada than Mexico by maybe one hundred-in a town populated by approximately ninety thousand government employees, farmers, academics, insurance salesmen, assembly-line workers, antique dealers, real estate agents, rape crisis counselors, certified massage therapists, girls volleyball coaches, and a whole lot of other people who, as they would tell it, just wanted to live in a peaceful place where movies cost six dollars and the children's zoo was free, and where library fines, even if you kept the book for a year, even if you dropped the book in the bathtub and returned it looking like it had been rescued by search divers, were rarely known to exceed five dollars. The state, dogged neither by oppressive Pentecostal leanings nor a preponderance of Teva-shod rafting guide types, was neither in the Bible Belt nor the Rocky Mountains. It had few lakes, only a handful of rivers, and none of the kind of topography that might attract Japanese tourists or inspire bumper stickers of the this car climbed variety.
There was very little to climb on this terrain. It was flat and treeless and cliffless. Even so, Prairie City had made the most of itself. It housed a state college, a public television station, and an independent movie theater that had screened The Last Temptation of Christ when the commercial cinemas had dropped the film because of picketers, most of whom were a small but vocal group of Seventh-day Adventists and a few of whom were Lutherans looking for a diversion. Generally speaking, though, all points of view were welcome. For years, Prairie City's welcome sign had read a great place to live until, under an initiative to promote diversity, the city council voted to change the motto to open arms, open minds. It was a fitting kickoff to the other placards in town. For every billboard reminding passing drivers that during an abortion, something dies inside there was another encouraging HIV testing, pet spay and neutering, or two-dollar mai tais at the Thirteenth Street TGI Friday's, which, though not all citizens realized it, was a major hangout for the community's sizable gay and lesbian population. For seven years running, the town had ranked in the top twenty in U.S. News & World Report's Most Livable Cities. In addition to its low rate of violent crime, good public school system, and four meticulously maintained municipal pools, Prairie City had the good fortune to have been hit by only six tornadoes during the entire period of the Clinton administration, just three of which killed anybody, all in trailer parks.
In Prairie City, trailer parks rubbed right up against elementary schools, public playgrounds, and houses of worship. Train tracks crisscrossed the city like lattice work, leaving little room for right sides or wrong sides. At Effie's Tavern on Highway 36, assembly-line workers from the Firestone tire plant gathered after their shifts and downed Leinenkugels alongside insurance agents in short-sleeved dress shirts and choir directors in Birkenstocks and attorneys and social service case workers and even local politicians, most of whom got off work at 3:30 on Friday afternoons and began drinking around 3:54. Prairie City was a good-hearted place, not so much in the sense that moral aberrations never occurred but more in that when something did go wrong-a paleontology professor got caught downloading child pornography from the Web, an elected official was discovered freebasing coke in the public restroom behind the band shell-community head shaking took the form of bemusement rather than scorn. Everyone understood that everyone screwed up once in a while. What mattered was that you showed some class about it. What mattered was that you still helped your neighbor build his back deck. You still sat on the symphony board or at least volunteered to pick trash off the median of Highway 36 once a year. You accepted both your co-worker's gender reassignment surgery and the possibility that, during any given summer, golf-ball-sized hail could give your dog a concussion.
The concept of acceptance was vital to Prairie City. It stemmed from the legacy of its first residents, most of whom, in the mid-1800s, were bound for the West Coast on the Oregon Trail. Since Prairie City marked a point where the trail often became impassable in winter, the pioneers used it as a stopover until spring. Except that many never left. As legend has it, Prairie City was imbued with a mysterious force that kept its supposedly temporary residents from resuming their journeys. Of those who did leave, countless numbers found themselves coming back after just a few years on the coast. It was hard for them to explain what had brought them. The tug of that land was as strong and invisible as gravity. The wind, though it shrieked in every season, soon lulled even the most restless souls into contentment. The people stopped thinking about gold and started building schoolhouses. They had more children. They joined sewing circles. They told themselves so many times that they were going to leave that, as generations died and were born, the Plan to Leave became as much a part of community life as agriculture itself. It was all a matter of holding off until the right time, of getting through the winter and then the summer and then winter again. Long before Effie's Tavern ever served its first draft, the citizens of Prairie City had perfected the art of waiting things out.
Of course, I didn't know much about waiting things out before I came to Prairie City. I knew next to nothing about anything, unless you count a deeply ingrained knowledge of the latest sociocultural great truths about the twenty- and thirtysomethings of America, which I discussed with my friends over drinks on at least a twice-weekly basis. Some examples of our areas of inquiry:
A) -No one wears gold anymore. It just went away. Remember how in the 1980s everyone wore gold? Like a gold tennis bracelet? Now it's silver. Nothing but silver. Wedding bands are platinum or white gold. When is the last time you saw a gold wedding band? Seriously? But you're not, like, friends with that person?
B) -More and more women are feeling pressure to not get married until they're at least twenty-eight. But at the same time there's pressure to marry before you're thirty-four. That leaves a very small window. Six years to find a husband. Consider the latest census data that there are seven hundred thousand more single women than single men in New York (not even counting gay people, of which there are more men than lesbians). Ergo, limited window of opportunity plus disproportionate gender ratio equals ... imminent spinsterhood for thousands of women. What to call this? The New Spinster? The Spinsterization of America?
C) -Yogurt. What happened? It just went away.
D) -Is thirty-seven the new twenty-six?
E) -Lucinda's apartment lease. Loss of. What is she going to do?
Lucinda was me. Is me. Except the Lucinda who lost her apartment lease on Broadway and Ninety-fourth Street in Manhattan was a person of such a long time ago that I have difficulty even associating that face-pale, unlined, dabbed with Chanel makeup that I never knew how to apply right-with the one who now tells this story. Like so many people in Prairie City, my face has been subjected to a kind of wind that blows in so hard from the north that you find yourself reaching for a tree in order to stay on the ground, only to realize there are no trees, just an ocean of grass.
This is the kind of place that makes you wonder if wind can render gravity irrelevant, if weather itself can make you crazy. You lie in bed and wonder if the Apocalypse has come or if it's just another night in June. The early settlers had a name for this; they called it prairie madness. Pioneers who had migrated from the east literally went insane from the shrieking wind. It seemed to affect the women disproportionately, maybe because the men were insane to begin with. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
When I was twenty-nine and a regular participant in conversations (if we were going to hand in the receipts to our office accounting departments we called them "brainstorming sessions") about What's Happening in America Today, I was an associate producer at a local television magazine show called New York Up Early. Despite not being on a major network, it had two million viewers in the metropolitan area. Hosted by Bonnie Crawley and Samantha Frank, a pair of thirtyish women positioned to "complement" each other (one was perky, the other, who wore nerd-chic glasses, quirky), the program dealt with a variety of New York issues: mob-related crime, the Bryant Park fashion shows, the rooftop gardens of rich people. I was the Lifestyle correspondent, a position I'd achieved after five years of fetching espressos and making restaurant reservations for Up Early's bipolar, metabolically freakish senior producer, Faye Figaro (at five foot eleven, she weighed 119; she also threw staplers at people). Though my annual salary had been raised to a mere $31,900 (this made tolerable only by my rent-stabilized one-windowed cell on West Ninety-fourth Street), I enjoyed the privileges of a minor celebrity in that I appeared on camera and interviewed people about What New Yorkers Are Thinking About Today, which, in most cases, was what Faye, Bonnie, Samantha, I and the rest of the staff (all female except one gay guy) were thinking about.
Some examples of my journalistic endeavors:
* -Lucinda Trout on takeout sushi and how it has replaced the soup and sandwich for the midtown office worker's lunch of choice.
* -Lucinda Trout on thong underwear: can you learn to live with a permanent wedgie?
* -Lucinda Trout on bridal registry etiquette: is it fair to expect your friend to spend eighty dollars on a single piece of flatware (especially when your friend has no marriage prospects!)?
* -Lucinda Trout on adopted babies from China: the Upper West Side is overrun with them.
What are the implications for the future mating patterns of this generation? In 2015, there will be seven teenage girls for every teenage boy on the Upper West Side. Are we not simply creating an equal and opposite paradigm of the unbalanced gender ratio in China? Will these girls have to move to Beijing to find a husband? Will Manhattan become a playground for men with Asian fetishes?
The Chinese baby story didn't delve as deeply as I would have liked. It ended up essentially being a plug for a store on Columbus Avenue called Asian Infant Accessories, which sold teething rings and mobiles in Asian designs so that the children wouldn't lose touch with their heritage. I almost quit over that. But I almost quit over half the stories I did. I had a degree in nineteenth-century American literature from Smith. My goal was to work for PBS or National Public Radio. And somehow I'd ended up holding a microphone in one hand and sliding a finger of the other hand under the thong underwear of a willing clerk at a SoHo underwear boutique to show "how roomy a thong can really be."
The day I decided not to quit over the Chinese baby story was the day my landlord slipped a note under my door saying the building management was changing hands and that starting September 1, my rent would be raised to twenty-one hundred dollars a month. It was June 1. I needed to ask Faye for a raise, though it was unlikely I could get her to triple my salary, which is what would have been required to stay.
Faye wanted to see me in her office anyway. Though it was muggy and 87 degrees outside she was wearing her usual getup-skintight black leather pants, a sleeveless (apparently wool) turtleneck sweater, and Jimmy Choo mules with three-inch heels. Her black hair was tied in a severe French twist that appeared to be pulling back the skin on her temples (a do-it-yourself face-lift technique? This itself was a possible story idea ...). Faye's background was in the art world-she was rumored to have been, in the 1960s, the lover of either Gerard Malanga or Cookie Mueller, depending upon who you asked. From there she had migrated into the fashion world and eventually into television and she was as out of place in the business as I was, though in the completely opposite way. While she looked like a fifty-year-old version of Lara Flynn Boyle (though every year that I'd worked for her she'd claimed to be thirty-seven) I looked like a graduate student who sprang for good haircuts but wouldn't shell out for an iron. I was perpetually rumpled. Faye, for her part, was practically illiterate. She had been hired for her celebrity connections; I for my ability to write all of her memos and anticipate the fluctuations of her volatile brain chemistry.
Faye was looking particularly reptilian that day. Her eyes were reduced to mere slits underneath a puffiness that suggested her weekend at Donatella Versace's South Beach villa had involved some kind of head-on collision that activated a set of air bags beneath the sockets. She leaned back in her chair and draped a lamppostlike leg over her desk, knocking over an ashtray and a stack of videotapes and causing her shoe to fall off and reveal a set of contorted blackened toenails.
"Lucinda!" Faye screamed, though I was three feet away. "I have received a memo from upstairs."
"Are they firing you?" I asked. We had this sort of relationship. Sparring, playful. Though there was always the possibility that she would lunge unexpectedly, like a big cat.
"They want to move the show in a new direction," she said. "They think it's too provincial, too New York centric. They want us to cover issues of concern to average Americans. Maybe even humanitarian issues. Of course, I find that profoundly uninteresting. But I have no doubt that you can tap into the psyches of fat housewives in trailer parks."
"Actually I've always thought the show was too limited," I said. "Are we going in a more, like, Frontline-ish direction?"
"Don't get uppity," Faye said.
I caught her noticing my shoes, which were scuffed and from Banana Republic and utterly beneath her standards.
"I'm sending you to the Midwest," she said. "There's a very dangerous drug there that women are doing to help them lose weight and clean the house. Basically it's coke for the Payless shoes set. It sounds disgusting and I'm sure you can find a bunch of disgusting people who will talk on camera and give the show a dose of realness."
She handed me a story memo.

What does 'Last Twelve Months - LTM' mean
Last twelve months (LTM), also commonly designated as trailing twelve months (TTM), indicates the time frame of the immediately preceding 12 months in reference to a financial metric used to evaluate a company's performance, such as revenues or debt to equity (D/E). Although a 12-month period is a relatively short time span for examining a given equity evaluation measure, it is considered useful because of the fact that it indicates a company's most recent performance, and therefore may be indicative of the company's current trend. The terms "last twelve months" or "trailing twelve months" frequently appear in a company's earnings reports or other financial statements.
BREAKING DOWN 'Last Twelve Months - LTM'While in some respects, 12 months of data is less than adequate for investment evaluations, it is a long enough span of time to level out seasonal factors, possible short-term price fluctuations and market swings. Data from the last twelve months is often used to evaluate retail companies. Last twelve month figures are more current than annual financial statement figures and avoid potentially misleading short-term measures, such as quarterly figures.
In reviewing figures shown as last twelve months or trailing twelve months, investors should not confuse the figures as necessarily coinciding with a company's most recent fiscal year. In company financial statements, last twelve month figures refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated. For example, in a financial statement dated March 2015, last twelve month figures cover the period of time from April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.
Calculating Last Twelve Months Data
An investor or analyst can manually calculate last twelve month figures by using a company's 10-K and 10-Q SEC filings. The calculation is done by adding the year-to-date (YTD) figure to the company's most recent fiscal year figure, and then subtracting from that total the figure for the prior year to date, which can be found in the 10-Q filing.
Using Last Twelve Months Metrics
In addition to being used to gauge the recent trend of a given company's performance, last twelve month financial metrics are also frequently used to compare the relative performance of similar companies within an industry or sector. Financial metrics commonly considered by looking at last twelve month figures include a company's price-earnings (P/E) ratio and earnings per share (EPS). In reviewing stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the dividend yield figure for the last twelve months is often compared with the SEC yield figure, which reflects only the yield of the most recently paid dividend.
Another instance where the last twelve months' figures are useful is when a company is being considered for acquisition. To arrive at a more accurate current value of a company, last twelve months' figures are often preferable to the most recent fiscal year figures.

Lactation (breast milk production) and breast-feeding should be
stopped if surgery or chemotherapy is planned.
If surgery is planned,
breast-feeding should be stopped to reduce blood flow in the breasts and make
them smaller. Breast-feeding should also be stopped if
chemotherapy is planned. Many
anticancer drugs, especially cyclophosphamide and
may occur in high levels in breast milk and may harm the nursing baby. Women
receiving chemotherapy should not breast-feed. Stopping lactation does not
improve survival of the mother.
Breast cancer does not appear to harm the fetus.
Breast cancer
cells do not seem to pass from the
mother to the fetus.
Pregnancy does not seem to affect the survival of women who
have had breast cancer in the past.
Some doctors recommend that a woman wait 2 years after treatment
for breast cancer before trying to have a baby, so that any early return of the
cancer would be detected. This may affect a woman's decision to become
pregnant. The fetus does not seem to be affected if the mother has previously
had breast cancer.
Effects of certain cancer treatments on later pregnancies are
not known.
The effects of treatment with high-dose chemotherapy and a
bone marrow transplant, with or
without radiation therapy, on later
pregnancies are not known.

I use module metatag, and I have problem with revert "features" containing contexts.
Step by step instruction for reproduce problem:
1. You should have last version of module metatag;
2. First, create custom metatag setting for special url on this page "admin/config/search/metatags/context";
3. Add your new context into "feature";
4. Copy your "feature" with new context to separate server (or remove this context via interface for quickly testing on your local server);
5. You will see that "feature" with your context have status overriden;
6. When you will revert feature, your new context not will be created (and not will be reverted, but will be removed from database, in case if it was created earlier);
7. "Feature" with your context always will be overriden.
I have investigated the file features.context.inc. The function context_features_revert is only remove contexts, but not create new contexts that are contained in the my "feature".
This small patch solves the problem.
I will be very grateful if you add me as author of commit.
Comment #4mpotter CreditAttribution: mpotter commented
|Needs review
|» Closed (works as designed)
Contexts are ctools exportables that only live in code and not in the database. Something else must be happening on your site as I cannot reproduce this. My context's are exported fine.
When you export a context to a feature, you should get a myfeature.context.inc file that contains your hook function: myfeature_context_default_contexts(). The Context module calls this hook to allow new contexts to be added via code. No database entires are made for this. This is how all "true" features work (ctools, views, etc).
So reverting should not perform any sort of "save".
The fact that your feature was marked as overridden in #5 sounds like your problem. Did you be sure to clear the drupal cache on the new site after installing the feature. You must always clear Drupal cache "drush cc all" after enabling new features for them to show up properly.

In what has been a rather young and a very short journey into the maze of life, i like to believe i have learnt a lot. I have lost many near and dear ones and had life changing experiences. One such day was the day I decided to jump into the vast of technology and do what I love the most. But one man who influenced my thinking a lot and probably was the inspiration behind me even getting into this world of technology that today i so proudly call 'my world' was Steve P. Jobs. Yes, yesterday i lost my hero, my inspiration and motivator.
I was just another young kid growing up until a sunny afternoon i lay my hand on the very first iPod. The music sounded so much better, the click wheel was such an innovation, the screen looked superb and it was chick-let thin. In short, i was hooked, and i wanted it. After lots of struggles, I got my first Apple product. I was a fifteen year old who knew nothing about Technology back then, but i knew it this was the most awesome thing ever. Apple was the best fruit! From there on it became a constant habit to check stuff on Apple and soon Steve's story was the Roy of the Rovers stuff for me, he seemed to defeat everything that came his way and a part of me thought of him like my superman. Be it formation of Apple in a small garage, NeXT or Pixar, or even the dramatic return to Apple, the man was indeed a genius. I wanted to be like him, i wanted to learn technology too. Listening to podcasts, reading tutorials and just generally reading a lot made sure I bagged the job to write to reach you all through the world of Blogtechnika. But I was still a massive admirer of Apple and since have owned practically all their products. No, I am not an Apple fanboi, cause i love Android and a million other products just as much but yes, i am a Steve Jobs Fanboi!!!
Watching keynotes and WWDC headed by the genius himself was a routine and i loved him, the charismatic presence, no nonsense approach, the usage of adjectives like awesome, amazing and all, it was all fantastic! The black polo shirt and light blue jeans man certainly changed what stage presentation was all about. Yes, i was never fortunate enough, maybe too young to dream to meet him too, but i will miss him, yes i did not know him personally, but his designed iPhone, iPod and iPad are probably some of the things most dear to me, they bring my loved ones closer and probably are the two things i turn to when lonely and in the need to get lost in the virtual world! That is how massive the guys contribution was in my life! Today I am in the world of Technology and contributing my two cents to the wonderful world of Blogtechnika just because Steve inspired me to, to take a chance , a risk and do what I love.
The world has definitely lost a genius and one of the greatest innovators of all time. He was the Edison of our generation, pride of our generation and a leading light, here is to the Genius that Steve was and hoping that the present generation would carry n his legacy of doing simple things in the most outstanding way and like he would say, stay hungry and stay foolish!!

If you've never tried eating freeze dried yogurt, you should know that it tastes unlike anything you've ever tried before and I can almost guarantee, you'll love them. If not you than your child. Each bite gives your mouth an intense rush of flavor with just the right amount of sweetness.
I tried some of these freeze dried yogurt treats for the first time a few months ago while trying to convince my daughter to eat one. Any time I need to get her to eat something, she needs to watch me first so she knows it's safe to eat. Well, the first time I threw one of these flavor treasures into my mouth I was simply amazed, as anyone who's ever tried one probably already knows.
But what exactly are these? Are they really just freeze dried yogurt? Well… yes they are. The process involved is basically just freezing the yogurt, reducing the pressure and increasing the temperature just enough to allow the frozen moisture within the yogurt to "sublime"- go from frozen to gas without going to liquid form. Basically. It sounds complicated but this process can easily be done at home using our easy How To To Make Freeze Dried Yogurt home recipe. Just watch the short 3 minute video and follow along at home so you too can enjoy this tasty treat.
If you don't have time or can't be bothered to make it yourself? Well, there's a few different companies that sell their own freeze dried yogurt at a very reasonable price. Gerber Graduates Yogurt Melts, Happy Baby Happy Melts Organic Yogurt Snacks, and Thrive Yogurt Bites are three companies that you can buy either at your local grocery store or online. But it won't be nearly as fun as making your own at home.

Search and rescue crews in the Halifax area are looking for a man who failed to return home from a mountain biking excursion Thursday.
Police say 30-year-old Marty Legere went biking alone around noon on Thursday. He was expected to return home around 4 p.m. but failed to show up.
"Mr. Marty Legere went mountain biking in the Spider Lake trails around noon yesterday and was supposed to return home around 4 or 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon," confirms RCMP Cpl. Scott MacRae.
When he failed to return home, Legere's family went looking for him. They found his vehicle at the end of Spider Lake Road in Waverley and reported him missing shortly after 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
Police and search crews spent Friday scouring the Waverley area. A police dog and the Department of Natural Resources are assisting in the search.
"The search is quite intensive at this time," says MacRae. "It's made up of several teams from around the province. DNR resources are also at play, including helicopters."
At one point Friday afternoon, three helicopters were searching the area and 80 volunteers were helping in the search.
"There's DNR helicopters, the RCMP helicopter, there's other resources that are coming that we have arranged, other boats, ATVs," says Steve Mills of Nova Scotia Emergency Measures.
The search is especially difficult because of the size of the area and the varying terrain. The Spider Lake trail system covers 60 square kilometres and many spots are covered in dead trees and thick brush.
"An area this size takes an extreme amount of people power to cover," says Evan Hansen of the Colchester County Search and Rescue. "For every square kilometre, to have it searched with a pretty good degree of accuracy, it takes about 100 people."
Police say Legere did not have a cellphone with him and he was riding alone.
The search will be scaled back after dark due to safety concerns. Searchers plan to return to the area Saturday morning.
Legere is about six feet tall and weighs 260 pounds. He has short hair, a beard and a moustache.

History of Thai Massage
Traditional Ancient Thai massage is a unique form of Bodywork that incorporates Hatha Yoga, acupressure and reflexology with origins dating back about 2500 years.
The roots of Thai massage are traced back to the founder of the practice (known as "Father Doctor") Shivaga Komarpaj, a doctor, friend and contemporary to the Buddha.
Ancient Medical texts were carved in stone in attempts to preserve the tradition of Thai massage; these stone inscriptions still sit within the walls of the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok.
In Thailand, there are many agricultural people who do a lot of physical work through the day and their muscles become very tight and sore, so they teach their children massage skills they learned from their parents. In this way Thai massage is passed down as an oral tradition.
Massage has a unique style in each area of Thailand. When people would gather together from different regions they would exchange their techniques of massage.
In this same way influences came from other countries such as China, India, Burma and Tibet creating its evolution and development.

World Cup tactics: Don't neglect the holding role
As in 2006, three of the four semi-finalists at this year's World Cup have played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
For France, Portugal and Italy (whose 4-2-3-1 could also be interpreted as a 4-4-1-1) in 2006, read Spain, Germany and the Netherlands in 2010. Germany were the black sheep in 2006, with a 4-4-2 hinged upon a midfield diamond that featured Torsten Frings at the base and Michael Ballack at the tip. Uruguay are the odd ones out this time around, their 3-4-1-2 having initially morphed into a 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1 and then a 4-4-2 for the semi-final defeat to Holland.
One of the most distinctive elements of the 4-2-3-1 is the presence of two deep-lying central midfielders in front of the defence. Spain, Germany and the Netherlands are not the only teams to have fielded two such players, but what has made their midfield configurations so effective is the way they have paired players with different qualities.
Bastian Schweinsteiger pulls the strings for Germany alongside the more conservative Sami Khedira, while Xabi Alonso's effortless midfield organising for Spain is shrewdly complemented by the graft and positional awareness of Sergio Busquets. Holland's pairing usually features two predominantly destructive players, in the shape of Nigel de Jong and arch-niggler Mark van Bommel, but van Bommel is also a direct, highly motivated player and his barrelling runs into the opposition half are often the launchpad for the team's attacks.
"Yes, I do the dirty work. And so what?" said van Bommel of his role earlier in the tournament. "A football team cannot just contain 11 dancers."
With de Jong suspended against Uruguay, Demy de Zeeuw came into the team alongside van Bommel but adopted more of a positive role than the man he replaced usually does. Before being replaced at half-time by Rafael van der Vaart he didn't play a single pass to either of his centre-backs or van Bommel, with Wesley Sneijder (nine) and Dirk Kuyt (five) the most frequent recipients of his passes. Van der Vaart, unsurprisingly, was even more attacking, spending 21 percent of his time in the opposition third (compared to seven percent for de Zeeuw) and turning the 4-2-3-1 into a 4-1-4-1. Van der Vaart's introduction did not exactly change the game, but it did enable Bert van Marwijk's side to establish more of a foothold in the Uruguay half.
The contrast with some of the fancied teams that failed to live up to the pre-tournament hype is stark. Brazil put their faith in a purely combative pairing of Gilberto Silva and Felipe Melo, and although Melo showcased the finer aspects of his game with the sublime pass that set up Robinho's opening goal against the Netherlands, he reverted to type later in the game with an inexcusable stamp on Arjen Robben that brought his tournament to an abrupt conclusion. Brazil's lack of invention in deep, central areas was unignorable in the latter stages of their defeat to the Dutch, as they walloped aimless passes down the flanks and hopeless high balls into the box in perhaps the most glaring betrayal of their footballing heritage of the entire Dunga era.
Argentina did have a creative, deep-lying midfielder in their squad, but Diego Maradona, seduced by the fire-power on show in his all new Tévez-Messi-Higuaín attack, elected to leave Juan Sebastián Verón on the bench for the quarter-final massacre at the hands of Joachim Löw's Germany. By selecting Tévez instead of Verón – contrary to his pre-tournament intentions – Maradona left Javier Mascherano completely isolated against Schweinsteiger, Khedira and Mesut Özil in the centre of midfield.
With genuine wide players in Ángel di María and Maxi Rodríguez either side of him, Mascherano was in no position to stem the waves of German attacks that relentlessly rolled towards him and the final score amply reflected Maradona's failure to anticipate this numerical imbalance in central midfield. Maradona told Di María and Rodríguez to switch flanks early in the first half in an apparent bid to narrow the midfield, but by then they were already chasing the game.
"We expected the Argentine line-up and knew Messi would fall back into midfield," explained Löw, after Maradona's strategy played straight into his hands. The fact that Spain also set themselves up in a 4-2-3-1 means it is almost inconceivable that Germany could over-run them in the same way in Wednesday's second semi-final.
Germany had much the same joy against England, who were once again made to pay for the strange English inability to produce genuine holding midfielders. Gareth Barry was the man in the Mascherano role in Bloemfontein, the only remotely defensive midfield player in Fabio Capello's oddly rigid 4-4-2, and the image of Özil flying past him like an Audi overtaking a milk float en route to setting up Germany's fourth will live long in the memory of any English fan who had the misfortune to witness it.
The examples of Brazil, Argentina and England demonstrate that it is very difficult to establish control of a game without a composed player operating in central areas who is capable of picking a pass and either slowing or raising the tempo when necessary. Deploying two destroyers leaves a team bereft of that control in the middle of the pitch and unheathily dependent on their forwards for inspiration. Deploying just one nominally defensive midfielder against a well-equipped 4-2-3-1, as both England and Argentina can testify, can often be a sure-fire shortcut to humiliation.

Well put. A balanced pair of holders beat a pair of nigglers or a single holder anytime, anywhere.
One legacy this worldcup leaves is the "massification" of analysis with Fifa.com and Opta statistics by blogs – in particular the actual positioning maps. (I've caught myself watching games counting down to minutes 15, 30, 45, when the fifa maps would be updated on the Matchcast). Some of the analysis is either misguided or too obvious, but you kind of hit the nail on the head here.
For me, as a South American, it will be a "what if" tournament. "What if" Dunga had a Plan B, "What if" Veron had played…
Looking forward to the appointment of the next coaches in both countries – if Leonardo and Martino take over (as seems to be the preferred choice of local presses) we're in for a tactical leap and perhaps two unstoppable teams. But if popular clamor prevails and the backwards, tactically naive and "group guys" Scolari (back again) and Maradona are granted reprieves, I doubt how much of an evolution South America will present in the World Cup it hostst in 2014.
It's almost come to the conclusion that you need a "double six" as Germany call it. Two players with the understanding and discipline to make it tight in front of the centre-backs although not necessarily a defensive ploy.
It is a launchpad for stopping and starting attacks and it allows the key defensive plans in the modern game – being compact, allowing the correct pressing patters and distances.
Can Spain play Xavi deeper? – because the contradiction is that attack is their key form of defence and in that sense they've looked slightly more vulnerable than in the Euro's (plus their opposition haven't exactly been stellar opponents). Still Busquets playing deep to mak2 the "False 10" of Ozil wll be key v Germany.
[…] Yes, they're all European — but the other thing all three teams left in the World Cup share are shapes featuring two deep but complimentary midfielders…one creative, one holding. "[I]t is very difficult to establish control of a game without a composed player operating in central areas who is capable of picking a pass and either slowing or raising the tempo when necessary.

Where did you find the passing distribution and other charts on the FIFA website? Can you give me a step by step guide to navigate there? I found the match report and possession but I can't find the passing distribution chart. Thanks.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
JR, you need to look for the 'Match Documents' section towards the bottom of FIFA's match overview page:
Click 'More' and you get a list of all the post-match data FIFA provides, including heat maps, passing statistics and average position diagrams:
Your comments on the need for a composed central midfielder is one that ZonalMarking has been saying for a bit I think, do you think Michael Carrick is the man who can do that job? Do you think it's just a matter of fact that England are just devoid of any central midfielders who look to just keep possession?
From the games played, it's obvious to see the benefits of playing a 4-2-3-1. It's flexible and you can control midfield – which nowadays seems to be half the battle.
Also Tom, you may be interested in this article I did which looked into how Germany capitalised on Argentina's imbalance, particularly near the end, where Mascherano got moved around, creating space.
I missed out the words 'for England' in that first sentence, otherwise it sounds like Michael Carrick can somehow play for every country in the World.
I'd love to see Carrick given more of a chance with England, but he never looks the same as he does in a Manchester United shirt when he plays in international matches (and he did suffer an alarming slump in form last season). I think it's very revealing that Fabio Capello tried to tempt Paul Scholes out of retirement for the World Cup. He was clearly well aware of the likely shortcomings in England's midfield without someone capable of establishing a passing rhythm.
I think England's failure to produce classic holding midfielders is a direct result of the way British kids play football. If you start playing football on a full-size pitch at the age of 11, 12 or 13, the players who stand out are obviously going to be the most physically developed kids who cover the most ground. It's precisely that approach that prevents more patient, technically gifted youngsters from shining and it's probably why England simply doesn't produce players like Alonso and Andrea Pirlo. Scholes is the closest thing England has, and he started his career as a second striker.
Whilst, Germany's formation can be classified as 4-2-3-1, I doubt whether the central midfielders can be classified as holding midfielders. Admittedly, Schweinsteiger and Khedira form a fairly flat central midfield duo, but they are anything but holding midfielders in the conventional sense. Neither plays the role of purely sitting in front of the back four, the manner in which van Bommel and de Jong have done for the Dutch or Alonso and Busquets have done for Spain. They both seem fairly dynamic and although the box-to-box midfielder is a virtually extinct breed, I think we've seen some of those qualities embodied by both Schweinsteiger and Khedira.
A good observation and an important distinction. I guess it reinforces the point that, to really make a 4-2-3-1 work, you need multi-faceted players in central midfield who are comfortable going forwards and backwards.
[…] As in 2006, three of the four semi-finalists at this year's World Cup have played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Thanks man those are awesome documents. Are FIFA matches (major ones only I assume as well) the only organization that produces documents like this or does the EPL, La Liga, UEFA produce them as well (and where)?/
New to the site and love it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. UEFA produces similar documents for Champions League and Europa League matches:
Don't think any of the major European leagues provide information like this though, although I could be wrong.
Great article. I thought that Busquets was fantastic again tonight, he and Xabi Alonso pressed so well throughout the match.
All that pressing and composure on the ball in the Spanish midfield must be demoralising to play against. The German midfield, who have looked fantastic in this World Cup were suffocated and passed to death by this great Spanish side.
Good points you have made here. And still Spain managed to suffocate our (i.e. Germany's) midfield altogether last night.
I just have to disagree on your classification of the German team 4 years ago as "…a 4-4-2 hinged upon a midfield diamond…" It's been a prettybig issue in the German media back then that Ballack convinced Klinsmann to withdraw him to a DM position after the disastrous 4:1 defeat in a friendly in Italy earlier that year, thus sacrificing his goal scoring chances in order to give the team more defensive stability. So basically Germany were playing a 4-4-2 with two holding midfielders (Frings the tackler/Ballack the passer) and two offensive minded wide midfielders (Schneider on the right and Schweinsteiger on the left).
It worked quite well, too.
yeah ok but it's not that easy, you know… it doesn't mean i won't try…
Tsamina mina eh, eh
Waka waka eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
bravo spain…
spain will be the next champion..
"bravo spain…": I agree entirely. But bravo Germany too – fine performances, lovely teamwork, it needed an excellent side to knock them out.
[…] and the development of formations suggests that the 4-4-2 can no longer always be effective. The 4-2-3-1 allows players to play between the lines, and as demonstrated at the World Cup in South Africa the more fluid sides dominated, with both […]
Excellent article, sorry I am a bit late in coming to it! It was good to see how the better teams set up their two deep-lying central midfielders in this World Cup, definitely. In fact I can't remember a World Cup where it has been so crucial to progression.
The only thing I'd disagree with slightly is regarding the German pairing of Khedira and Schweinsteiger; rather than a more straightforward destroyer/ball player combination like Spain, they seemed to me to be covering both jobs equally. I think Khedira, out of the two, was the one playing further up the field and more likely to be found in the final third, although admittedly when Schweinsteiger attacked it was usually more productive.
[…] with the formation that has emerged as the shape of choice for the top international sides over the course of the last two World Cups. Rudi Garcia has re-jigged his midfield in the last two games to accommodate for the absence of the […]

A quick way for inducing your dog to vomit, if necessary, is to provide hydrogen peroxide. But is this really a safe method and, if so, what would be an appropriate dose for a pet?
Hydrogen peroxide is handy in certain canine emergencies. Orally administering it will reliably purge the stomach. It works on most every dog, but vomiting doesn't always eliminate toxicity especially if absorption has already occurred.
Another aspect to this colorless emetic solution is that correct dosage, particularly for dogs, can be tricky. Vets can advise on hydrogen peroxide dosing but there's also a canine syringe kit used for this very purpose which we'll recommend. Learn more for your best buddy's sake!
Can I Give My Dog Hydrogen Peroxide? Answer: Yes, for poisoning emergencies
It's one of the ways to make an animal vomit which can be critically important.
The easiest approach for dosing hydrogen peroxide yourself is with a first-aid syringe kit designed for just dogs. One milliliter per pound of your dog's body weight, with an absolute maximum of 50ml, is the rule of thumb but careful with puppies and smaller breeds. Concentrations of more than 3 percent may be harmful. Understand that this common household product may not be the best choice, or the only thing needed for a sick dog's situation. This is why veterinarians are relied upon.
There are Limitations
Even if your dog throws-up, with the help of hydrogen peroxide, they may need specialized care. There's no guarantee that poisonous substances are eliminated by simply vomiting. If something toxic has already entered your dog's bloodstream, it may be too late for hydrogen peroxide to be effective. Often times detox methods should be left to the professionals.
Be Safe & Not Sorry
If you suspect your dog has swallowed anything toxic or poisonous, contact your vet immediately. As you know, dogs can get into all sorts of things but hydrogen peroxide can only do so much. This is especially true if you haven't witnessed exactly what and when your pet actually consumed something they shouldn't have.
Again, hydrogen peroxide in high concentrations could make matters worse for your dog. When time is very critical, and if you are unsure, involve a veterinarian.
Giving Hydrogen Peroxide
Before providing your dog with an oral dose of hydrogen peroxide, get them into a room that will be easy to clean up. A bathroom, or maybe a laundry room or even outside is best. You may need assistance. One person can hold your pet, while another administers the hydrogen peroxide down the throat. The effect can take 1 to 5 minutes, so be patient.
Once your dog gets it up, try to check the mess to make sure the toxic substance has made its way out as best you can tell.
Basic Dosage Information
For small dogs, a hydrogen peroxide dose of 1ml for every 2 pounds may be sufficient. Larger breeds could require a slightly higher ratio but never exceed 50 milliliters regardless of weight. This is only for reference and a vet should advise you. You can, however, make matters easier with the reliable syringe first-aid kit made specifically for administering hydrogen peroxide to dogs. It's effective and very highly regarded.
As a Teeth Cleaning Agent
Some owners consider the use of hydrogen peroxide to clean or otherwise bleach their dog's teeth. This is not recommended, especially bleaching! Remember that dogs cannot spit out liquids, either this or human mouthwash. To properly clean your dog's teeth, take them in for regular cleanings or do it yourself after some research.
Conclusion on Hydrogen Peroxide
You can carefully give this emetic, hydrogen peroxide, to your dog when it's warranted. This chemical compound effectively induces vomiting which can be very important in some medical emergencies. Never use a concentration of more than 3% and provide an appropriate a dose based on your dog's body weight, never exceeding 50ml. Understand that hydrogen peroxide cannot always eliminate toxicity and, in most cases, you'll need a vet's assistance to ultimately ensure your pet's well-being.

On March 2-3, Common Cause, the Campaign Legal Center, and Duke University's Center for Political Leadership, Innovation, and Service (POLIS) are co-hosting a daylong conference highlighting efforts around the country to end the undemocratic practice of drawing legislative districts for political advantage, also known as "gerrymandering." Panel discussions will feature leaders of national and state advocacy campaigns to reform our broken redistricting system. Ahead of their publication in Election Law Journal, winners of Common Cause's "Gerrymander Standard" writing competition will discuss their innovative ideas to create a judicial standard for measuring political gerrymanders.
Breakfast and lunch are included. Attendees are also welcome to join us for a reception following the conclusion of the program on the first day. The registration fee is $50 (space is limited).
Thursday, March 2, 2017 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

9:00 am - 9:30 am. Welcome, Sanford Room 04 (basement)
• Welcome: Karen Hobert Flynn, president of Common Cause
• Keynote: Tom Ross, Duke University Terry Sanford Distinguished Fellow and University of North Carolina system president emeritus
9:40 am - 10:45 am. No Needle in a Haystack: Identifying different gerrymander standards, Rhodes Room.
The Supreme Court has struggled to articulate a manageable standard for measuring when a partisan or political gerrymander is unconstitutional. Common Cause hosts the second annual Gerrymander Standard writing competition to encourage academic scholarship to advance the conversation. The 2017 winners will be present their approaches.

9:40 am - 10:45 am. Democracy Spring: How redistricting reform is blooming, Room 201.
Redistricting has traditionally been carried out by state legislatures, which has led to plans that reflect the existing power structure. Many states have created alternatives that remove the process of drawing lines from state legislatures, create mapping criteria, or set up other checks and balances. This panel will provide an overview of different state approaches, the political, legal and practical considerations for different reforms, and where reform efforts are happening.

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. Lunch
1:00pm - 1:50pm. Seeding Success: Strategies for reaching new audiences, Rhodes Room.
In states with an initiative process, winning redistricting reform requires finding the right words and appealing to broad audiences. Whether it is addressing the concerns of minority communities, reaching out to business and labor, building cross-partisan alliances, or speaking to targeted voter groups, this panel will discuss lessons learned from past efforts to win redistricting reforms in various states.

In states where there has been some success in advancing redistricting reform, one of the key elements has been a commitment to building a broad coalition. This panel will discuss the challenges of creating policy that is fair to all, overcoming voter concerns, and protecting the reforms from efforts to dismantle them in the future.
• Chris Carson, League of Women Voters, (moderator)
• Erin Byrd, Blueprint North Carolina

Many successful movements for change begin at the local level. Local innovation can help incubate support from school board, city or county elected officials that grows into state support. This panel will explore redistricting reforms and advocacy that have started at the local level, what resources exist and how we can learn from those efforts.

With the Supreme Court signaling once again in 2015 that there may still yet be a door for plaintiffs to pass through to bring partisan gerrymander suits, a number of suits raise these claims, with hopes that one will present the right key. Identifying this constitutional "key" may serve to rein in the most extreme of gerrymanders in the future. This panel of the leading lawyers from the North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Maryland suits will discuss their legal approach, evidence, and political circumstances.

9:00am-10:00am. Sowing the Seeds: Causes and consequences of efficiency gaps, Sanford Room 04 (basement).
While social scientists have developed several ways to measure the direction and the extent of gerrymandering, much less is known about its causes and consequences. This panel will explore factors that may cause plans to tilt in a particular party's favor, such as control of the redistricting process, political geography, and compliance with the Voting Rights Act. The panel will also evaluate the implications of gerrymandering for the quality of representation.

10:00am-11:00am. Apples & Oranges: Comparing partisan symmetry approaches, Sanford Room 04 (basement).
In LULAC v. Perry, the Supreme Court expressed openness to a gerrymandering standard based on the concept of partisan symmetry. However, there exist several measures of symmetry, including the efficiency gap, partisan bias, and the mean-median difference. In this panel, leading proponents of these metrics will discuss their respective advantages and drawbacks.

Redistricting has always been a relatively obscure issue; one where the process and vocabulary can be hard to understand. Add to that legal theories and mathematical formulas. How do we talk about redistricting in a way that helps regular people, media, and policy makers understand how it works and why people should care about how redistricting is carried out?

Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog
I made a quick mention of this once before after seeing the trailer. I just saw the first act (which was so popular it brought down the servers on its release). This is hilarious.
Go watch this. Seriously. It's only about 13 minutes. I thought the viewer email section went on a bit long, but it was still funny. It really gets good when the singing starts. Neil Patrick Harris does a great job. I can't wait for Act II.

This hike was amazing, and I can't believe how much I enjoyed it.
To recap what I discussed last week our itinerary was to do two short days then one long day. We had decided to leave off 10km of the trail to fit it into 3 days and it was really a good fit.
What Actually Happened
Day 1 we changed up our plan a bit. As we came up to our original first campsite plan (Bear Beach, which was 9km from the China Beach start point), we decided to forge ahead. This added 11km to our first day, but also split up the "most difficult" and "difficult" parts of the trail. So not only were we now doing our longest day first, but also covering the toughest terrain as well. Those last 11km were a constant up and down, with little flat ground to really rest and set a good pace. The last 3km were gruelling and a major mental game – at least for me.
Arriving late (about 7:30pm) to Chin beach meant we had just enough energy to set up camp, cook and climb into our sleeping bags. The campsites were so full (rumour was there were 100 people on the beach that night) that we had to set up on the pebbly-stony beach. I think we arrived just in time to get a hot meal in us and keep the hangry moments from making any major fallouts occur.
Day 2 was then shorter – a mere 8km to the beautiful Sombrio Beach. We arrived at around 1:30pm so had a relaxing time setting up camp, building a fire and napping in the sun which appeared later that day. I even took a dip in the freezing cold ocean which felt amazing and allowed me to brush my hair. It was really nice to have those hours to rest and relax after a total of 28km hiked with 30+ lbs packs over two days. I can say that on day 3 I noticed a difference in my legs compared to day 2 – rest really does help.
Day 3 the final day. We had 9km to go to our parked car at Parkinson's Creek. This portion of the hike was fairly moderate but included lots of stairs and mud. In a way we were quite focused this day – with the end in sight it was hard to really sit and take our time.
The meals I planned and snacks we ate instead of sit down lunches faired really well. We ate through most of our snacks so we know we had a good amount to last us the three days. I don't think any of us went hungry after breakfasts or dinner and everyone enjoyed the meals and felt satisfied. I know I'll repeat both the meals, and prepare three more for the West Coast Trail. The great thing about the WCT is that there are a couple canteens set up at two of the areas – so we will be able to enjoy a couple lunches along the way.
This hike was spectacular. The views were stunning, the trail rugged but not too rough, and even with the tough bits I enjoyed almost every minute. We had great weather – it rained a little during early mornings, but never down poured and even when the sun came out things remained fairly cool which is great for hiking.
The hardest part was our decision to change up our game plan. While I was happy to get the longest day, and toughest terrain, out of the way that first day, it is never easy to make a choice to change a plan. I personally take a lot of mental satisfaction from getting hard stuff over with first, and having easier stuff to look forward to – but I also do get attached to plans and don't love changes!
I would without a doubt do this hike again – and would love to do the entire thing adding in a fourth day unless I really wanted to push myself. It's also great because I now know the hike better, and doing it again would be less stress and just more enjoyable.
After doing this hike I am more than excited for the West Coast Trail, and I honestly cannot believe I've been intimidated by the idea of overnight backpacking enough to stay away from it since my teen years. I really enjoyed myself and hope I can do a few more trips over the next few years!

Already split over the contentious issue of affirmative action, Jewish groups have expressed mixed opinions about this week's Supreme Court ruling.
In a landmark decision that is certain to heighten debate over affirmative action policies, the court ruled that the government must hold such programs to strict standards when determining whether they discriminate against non- minorities.
The 5-4 decision in Adarand vs. Pena comes as members of Congress, states and the Clinton administration are re-examining the 25-year-old initiative.
Some Jewish groups hailed the decision, saying it cast doubt on the future of "set asides" and other racial classification that cater to minorities.
Others expressed disappointment. Still others took a "wait-and-see" attitude, saying it was too soon to tell what the mandate would mean for affirmative action.
The case involves a white-owned subcontractor, Adarand Construction, which sued when the company lost a highway construction job to a minority contractor, Gonzales Construction, of Colorado, received a$10,000 bonus when it chose Gonzales as its subcontractor.
In the ruling issued Monday, the court said federal programs that classify people by race were presumably unconstitutional unless the government could prove "a compelling interest" to make those classification.
Those programs must be "narrowly tailored" to show evident past discrimination, said Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for the majority.
"All governmental action based on race should be subjected to detailed judicial inquiry to ensure that the personal right to equal protection of the laws has not been infringed," O'Connor wrote.
Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy joined O'Connor in the majority decision, which sent the case back to the lower courts to review, using the new standard.
Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer dissented.
Because the new standard has yet to be applied, what specific programs will be affected is not clear, said Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
He said even though Jews are usually not considered disadvantaged minorities, some communities, such as the Chasidim and Jewish women, have benefited from affirmative action programs.
Although the center has not taken a formal position on the ruling, Saperstein called it "disappointing."
"I see this as an affirmation of affirmative action, but a limitation of the circumstances where it is appropriate to apply it," he said, adding that he was "confident" that most programs could be tailored to meet the court's standards.
In contrast, the Anti-Defamation League welcomed the decision.
In a statement, ADL's national director, Abraham Foxman, and national chairman, David Strassler, said the court has finally recognized what ADL has been arguing for nearly 20 years: that "government preference or benefits based upon race, religious beliefs or ethnic origin are as threatening to the American ideal as the historic discriminatory practices used to justify those preferences."
The American Jewish Congress, which supports affirmative action in certain circumstances, said the court's decision echoed the group's position that affirmative action should "neither be routinely applied nor always forbidden."
But AJCongress said, it is "a mistake to think that this decision spells the doom of affirmative action."
The National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, which did not take an official stand on the ruling, agreed that the decision did not pound the first nail in affirmative action's coffin.
"They didn't strike down" the program, said Karen Senter, co-director for domestic concerns at NJCRAC.
Last month, NJCRAC, an umbrella organization of 13 national agencies and 117 local community relations groups, reaffirmed an affirmative action policy the group first adopted in 1973.
That policy supports affirmative action remedies to racial imbalance in both the government and private sector. But it opposes the use of quotas as "inconsistent with the principle of non-discrimination and the goal of equal opportunity."
Senter said she disagreed with those, such as ADL, who said the decision cast doubt on affirmative action's future.
Those who reached such a conclusion "are making a rash judgment," Senter said, calling such statements "wishful thinking" on the part of those who want to dismantle the programs.
What the case does, Senter said, is show that people are looking at affirmative action programs to ensure they accomplish what they are supposed to.
For some, the court's ruling was not a surprise.
"It was clearly within the realm of expected possibilities," said Marc Stern, AJCongress's co-director of legal affairs.
However, he said, the decision changes the landscape of the affirmative action debate, setting it against a legal background.
"Because the court imposed stricter standards on the use of race by government, it's going to legalize the debate," he said.
What remains to be seen, he said is whether government programs will be able to survive the court's tough guidelines.

A shooting at 112th and Stuart Street in Westminster Tuesday afternoon shut down the neighborhood and put nearby Cotton Creek Elementary School on a lockdown.
One man was killed in the shooting. His name has not been released
A shooting at 112th and Stuart Street in Westminster Tuesday afternoon shut down the neighborhood and put nearby Cotton Creek Elementary School on a lockdown.
One man was killed in the shooting. His name has not been released but he should be identified by the Adams County coroner, according to Westminster Police.
Trooper Josh Lewis, information officer for the Colorado State Patrol, said officers from a metropolitan auto theft task force had tracked a suspect involved in an investigation to the Stuart Street park. When they approached the car to talk with him, the man brandished a weapon.
Police fired, killing the man, Lewis said.
Lewis said the task force involves officers from the state patrol and Wheat Ridge and Lakewood police departments. Lewis said four officers were involved in the shooting — two state troopers and one officer each from the other two departments.
Wheat Ridge Police Chief Dan Brennan issued a statement yesterday, stating that the task force had stopped the vehicle believing it to have been stolen.
"The suspect refused to obey the officer's directions to him, pulling out a gun and pointing it at the officers," reads the statement. Brennan also writes that the Wheat Ridge detective who was involved, will be placed on paid administrative leave while a use of force investigation is carried out, which is standard proceedure.
Lewis said Westminster Police is taking the lead on the investigation. Cheri Spotke, public information officer for the department, said a written statement would be released Tuesday afternoon.
Neighbor Maura Schneider said she heard gunshots just before 1 p.m. Tuesday. She works out of her home, just a block away from the shooting.
"My dog and I walked down here just about 11:30 a.m., and it was all fine," she said.
Schneider said she assumed the noises were just fireworks.
"I heard it, it was loud but I didn't know what it was," she said. "I noticed it because my dog hates loud noises and she came over to me, shivering."
Nearby Cotton Creek Elementary School was placed on immediate lockdown. Parents were allowed to begin collecting their children at 2:30 p.m. by showing picture identification at the school's front entrance.

Today I decided to check my Google Analytics for the website thirty days after our redesign. I was surprised at what I found. Not only had the website improved, but it had more than doubled in traffic from just under or around 10,000 unique visitors to well over 21,000 unique visitors in just thirty days.
Now, with Google Analytics you have to keep in mind direct content links to PDF, JPG, TIFF, PNG, DOC, and other forms and files are not logged so I feel the number may be even greater than 21,000 unique visitors for the thirty day period.
Please keep sharing, commenting, and writing and we can make this website grow.

Someone gave me an old HF 90 amp MIG welder that sparked my interest.
I recently sold it and picked up a Hobart Handler 175 from a friend. I'll be starting MIG classes next week.
I am only a hobbyist (software engineer by trade) and own a Jeep that I take off road. Having a welder and knowing how to use it will come in handy.

Superfast Broadband for Hinton-in-the-Hedges
Update on 6/10/17
The Superfast Northamptonshire team has advised that Hinton-in-the-Hedges will be connected to "ultrafast" broadband through Northamptonshire County Council's stage three partnership with Gigaclear, by the end of 2018.
This solution involves Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) technology which is capable of speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), depending on the package purchased. The project team says that planning work is currently underway and they expect to provide more information on the roll out timing soon.
In the meantime Hinton has been added to the project's Gigaclear Roll Out schedule page and the When & Where map.
For more information please refer to this letter from Superfast Northamptonshire.
Stage 3 - Hinton In The Hedges Letter to Parish Council Final 06 10 17
The current average broadband speeds you can expect to receive are in this table:
The Northants Superfast Broadband Team have confirmed that Hinton-in-the-Hedges is in the last 5% of properties and is due to be connected before September 2018.
Contact details: Programme Overview Manager, Superfast Northamptonshire. Development, Infrastructure and Funding. Northamptonshire County Council, Room 272 County Hall, Northampton, NN1 1DN.
The village is in discussions with BT to try and accelerate the timetable for upgrading the broadband implementation timetable, to be included with upgrading the normal telephone line to the village from Brackley.
Superfast Broadband is available now through Wurzel Ltd
For those who need Superfast Broadband in the short-term, a number of villagers have contracted the services of Wurzel Ltd, who have been supplying Superfast Broadband through a high speed wireless connection to the village since May 2015.
Detailed below are the costs of this service, which is in two parts, (1) installation and (2) a monthly charge. They require a commitment of a 12 month contract, and payment monthly in advance for the service. If you are at all dissatisfied you give one calendar months notice of termination.
Line 1 - Residential users
The Residential install cost will vary with the package speed you choose. It will typically be between £300 - £500, subject to site survey. Additional costs may arise if for example a receiver cannot be situated in an ideal position, or additional equipment is required for the installation such as a cherry picker, or a more expensive receiver is required in situations where the property has dense trees adversely impacting the signal. There are so many variations with wireless it is hard to put a single price to a whole village, it is much easier to price individual properties. They do site surveys before the install, and site surveys are free of charge.
Monthly subscription charges (example):
10Mbps £50 inc VAT, per calendar month
20Mbps £70 inc VAT, per calendar month
For those users requiring faster speeds they can supply higher speeds and bespoke packages tailored to specific needs.
Wurzel Ltd can provide an internal wireless router to replace your current BT/Sky routers (or similar) at a cost of £150 installed and configured. It may be possible to use your existing router but you will be required to complete the configuration yourself. So we recommend that you use the router supplied by Wurzel Ltd. You can discuss these options with them during the site visit and prior to installation.
All of the Line 1 options are based on a 1:20 contention ratio on the line, which will be synchronous, meaning your upload speeds will be equal to your download speed so the 10Mbps package is 10Mbps Down and 10Mbps Up.
(Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention_ratio if explanation of contention ratio is required.)
Line 2 – Business
Install cost will vary on the package speed you choose, and typically could be between £1,000 - £10,000 depending on requirements.
Monthly subscription charges (example):
- 10Mbps 1:5 contention ratio at £250 + VAT
- 20Mbps 1:5 contention ratio at £300 + VAT
- 50Mbps 1:5 contention ratio at £450 + VAT
- 100Mbps 1:5 contention ratio at £800 + VAT
Higher speeds and bespoke solutions can be catered for.
If you need more information please contact Wurzel Ltd: http://www.wurzelweb.com
Prices correct summer 2015, please check with Wurzel Ltd for latest price list

Body found in truck after police chase
by UPI
HOUSTON - Houston police say a dead body was found in the passenger seat of a pickup truck used in a police chase after a shooting.
Police said an officer responding to calls of a shooting at Mambo Restaurant pursued the pickup truck from the scene of the crime this week, the Houston Chronicle said Thursday.
The driver of the truck reportedly fired a semiautomatic rifle at the officer, along with pursuing Harris County sheriff's deputies, during the pursuit.
After the gunfire failed to stop the police pursuit, the fleeing suspect pulled the vehicle over and surrendered to the officers.
An ensuing search of the truck uncovered the body of a man in the vehicle's passenger seat who appeared to have been shot, police said.
The identity of the victim and the suspect were not released and investigators would not reveal who owned the truck used in Wednesday night's pursuit.
The Chronicle said no charges have been filed in relation to the incident.

Marshall D. Janifer, who was an industrial arts teacher for 21 years at Cardozo High School in Washington, died Jan. 5 at Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, Md. He was 58 and a resident of Riverdale, Md.
The cause was a heart attack, said his mother, Rose Janifer.
Mr. Janifer taught at Washington schools for learning disabled students, Sharpe Health School and Buchanan School, before he joined the Cardozo faculty. He was lead carpentry instructor at Cardozo's Academy of Construction and Design, a public-private partnership that officially opened in 2007 to teach heating, ventilation and air conditioning, carpentry, and electrical trades.
He told the Washington Afro-American newspaper that the program had changed many students' lives. "I don't know how many times I have had a student who was a knucklehead as a sophomore and turn out just fine when he became a senior," he said in 2009. "This program gives kids a purpose, and when they see that they can build things, it boosts their self-confidence. As a teacher, that is the best thing of all."
Marshall Darrell Janifer, a native Washingtonian, was a 1974 graduate of Roosevelt High School and a 1978 industrial arts graduate of Virginia State University in Petersburg. He was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Survivors include his wife of 33 years, DeBoria Reeder Janifer of Riverdale; twin sons, Darren Janifer of Bowie, Md., and Duane Janifer of Capitol Heights, Md.; his parents, Rose and Marshall Janifer of Washington; two brothers, James E. Janifer of Glenn Dale, Md., and David L. Janifer of Riverdale; and a grandson.
