Customise columns on the administration screens for post(types), pages, media, comments, links and users with an easy to use drag-and-drop interface.
I have to see, pos. forward It seemes that it will "make as descripted".
Was looking for a simple way to display which 'custom template' is used for each post on the admin screen (i.e. do away with the tedium of looking at each individually).
Found this, which seems to be working 'problem free'.
It does so much more than what I was looking for. At last I can get rid of the columns I hardly ever need and instead show those I actually want!
Great stuff! :-)
(I only gave it '4 stars' cos that's a high accolade from me ... for '5 stars' it has to make coffee and hoover up too.)

Shawn Levy may be looking for a whole new tone - he's agreed to tackle Real Steel for DreamWorks.
The man who can usually be found pumping out comedies like Night At The Museum and Cheaper By The Dozen has signed on with DreamWorks to take a stab at a futuristic tale of brawling 'bots.
It's set a few years from now, in a world where human boxing is outlawed and humanoid droids fight it out. A father and his estranged teenaged son bond over training one of the compu-combatants.
It's a case of Peter Berg's loss - he's dropped out to focus on Battleship - is Levy's gain, though unless he plans to turn it into a high-tech farce, it'll be a real challenge for him to step up his game.
"I'm thrilled to be working with Shawn on this project," DreamWorks Stacey Snider gushes to The Hollywood Reporter.
"He's a master of combining heart and human stories with fantastic visuals. I'm sure that in his capable hands, Real Steel will be a film that touches and excites all audiences."
If you like monkeys slapping Ben Stiller, that is. Oh, okay… the Museum films both made loads of money.
But he will have one extra big layer to his support system - executive producer Steven Spielberg looking over his shoulder.
"Steven's passion for this project was absolutely infectious and I'm so excited to bring this story to life," Levy says. "In a movie filled with these mechanical warriors, at its core Real Steel is an incredibly human story."
Just skip the slapstick, eh, Shawn?

Endeavours into the world of electronics
This might be the worst day of this current year. As you might already know yesterday, after 4 months of agony, I finally received my Raspberry Pi. It cheered me up a lot, since in the same day my old Galaxy S bricked. Today the perfect chemical reaction occurred. All the excitement and expectation converted entirely (maybe multiplied) into a strange mix of frustration, sadness, and anger. My Raspberry Pi arrived dead.
After 4 long months of wait, ~20 items on a TODO list, 3 projects, 2 VMs, ~50 tweets, and 3 articles, it all came to a sad end. Today my friend borrowed me his spare USB keyboard so I could turn ON an configure my Raspberry Pi for the first time. While it was booting I had one of the most awesome experiences ever: I've watched the original Linux boot, with a logo on the left corner and all those awesome lines blazing through the screen, just like in 2005 when I booted Linux for the first time on my extremely old IBM ThinkPad. After I saw those lines for the first time I decided I wanted to know more about how things were made, Linux got me into programming, and turned me into what I am today. It was a awesome moment to watch those lines again.
The first thing Raspbian did was show me a nice ncurses-based configuration tool. I started configuring it and suddenly "No Signal". I looked at the Raspberry Pi and the only thing that showed me it was working was the Power LED, all the other LEDs (including the internet ones) turned OFF. I disconnected the power and tried booting it up again. This time it did the same thing, but a lot earlier.
I rushed to my computer to check if it was a known issue and if someone had a fix, many users had similar issues, but not the same, the suggestions were the same: Check the power source voltage and the SD Card. I've started by downloading the other distros and flashing them on different cards, without success on the Pi, I was still having the strange issue. Then I decided to get a multimeter to check the voltage of the board, when I checked the board voltage it was great, so it means it wasn't the power source causing the issue. All I got was to acknowledge that I got a faulty unit.
I inserted the Raspberry Pi back into its case and gently stored it into the drawer were I put all the electronics that stopped working, which currently contains only my first laptop (that ThinkPad with Linux) and my Galaxy S. I care a lot about all my electronics, even after they are "dead", that's why I never sold, or trashed any of them, which means I almost have a museum here in my room, with all the devices I ever owned.
I'm curious to know what will be the next thing that will get me as excited as the Raspberry Pi did. Computers, they aren't fun to play with anymore, and the Raspberry Pi changed this. The mobile world that always excited me, since the day I got my Palm, is no longer that exciting. So what's next?
I don't think I'll be buying another Raspberry Pi, probably not. All the excitement extinguished today.
For about 2 weeks I've been having some fun with Linux development, mainly using Ruby to build command-line applications. My decisions, to create command-line applications using Ruby instead of GUI applications, were made because of a simple factor: GUI development for Linux is a nightmare, since there isn't at least one good GUI prototyping tool available to help you design your UI without having to do everything manually.
First I tried Glade which is just a nightmare. It's extremely complicated to deal with and you have no clue about which control you should use or how to arrange things, and most importantly there's not a lot of tutorials and documentation for new users to learn how to use it, and how to integrate with other languages.
Then I was told that Qt Creator was an awesome thing, so I decided to give it a try. I've created a new test project and selected the Qt Quick option so I could use QML, which is a lot better for a developer with Javascript background like me. One of the things that made me like this was the amount of good documentation and tutorials.
When I started playing with the Designer one of the first things that I noticed was the lack of simple controls like Buttons, this was pretty strange and I thought I haven't installed all the things needed, but when I searched for it I got this tutorial from Qt itself, which explains how to create a button in QML (from scratch!!). QML is one of the most awesome things I ever seen to build the GUI logic, it's simple and flexible, the problem is that there isn't any kind of controls to create real world desktop applications with it.
After that I took a look at wxWidgets, which lacks good documentation and a decent GUI designer. Then after all this horrible nightmare I thought about creating all my UIs using HTML5 and wrapping everything around a GTK WebKit window, but I don't think this is a good approach since my apps would look like an alien to the system.
Where are the Delphis of modern computing? I remember how easy it was to design UIs using Delphi and with a right-click on the control you could easily attach an event to it's logic. It's this kind of IDE that I'm expecting, one that focus on the fact that you don't need to struggle to create a UI, but instead that you should be able to create the UI fast and easily enough, so you can focus on the most important thing that is your application logic.
Linux is a awesome OS, I've been using it since 2007, and it needs/deserves better tools to create awesome GUI applications, this is one of the reasons that developers aren't porting their apps to Linux. On Mac OS X we have the awesome Xcode that includes a incredibly awesome GUI designer, and on the Windows side we have Visual Studio with a designer that is the best one in my opinion, since it's easy, flexible, and powerful. Isn't this the perfect time for a great Linux GUI designer?
Today I could finally watch the Stallman's interview on The Linux Action Show, and their second video about it, and I couldn't agree more with Bryan, so I thought about writing an article about it since most of the responses I saw were just a lot of crap thrown at a person that wants to make a living out of software development.
Stallman has a great dream that software should be "free", but I think that the developer must also have the freedom to choose if they want to charge or not for their software. Free software is great, but if a developer wants to make a living out of their software, which means be dedicated full-time and not have another job, it's almost impossible if you only make free software, even if you accept donations they won't be good enough to make a living. Which means you'll have to charge for some of your software.
When I'm going to get any kind of software the first thing that I look is at the description, what it does and what it doesn't, then I look at the screenshots. If the software is considered good (in my opinion of good) I'll download, if it's free, or buy, if it's paid. The developer has the freedom to choose the price of their software and I respect that, if the developer thinks that his app is worth $10 and I think it's worth too, I'll surely buy it.
Bryan and Chris also talk about the proliferation of the "App Stores" as a bit of a bad thing. Of course it has it's cons, but they have a huge pro which is how easily it makes for users to discover and get software. This is good for the user, that will be able to get more software to fit his needs, and is good for the developer which will get more downloads/revenue.
Let's take me as an example. I'm a student which is very thankful to my parents for supporting me to study and have some time to develop software for fun. That's why I build software that I want/need to use the best examples (and the ones I'm mostly proud for) are build.prop Editor and stream.json, these are all licensed under the GPLv3, but I'm going to start reworking (long story, worked for 1 month to start this project, all was almost ready and a lot of bugs on bbUI.js made me very depressed and leading to my rage quit from BlackBerry development) and it will be a $0.99 app for iOS, Android, and maybe BlackBerry. My decision to charge for this app is just because of the time I've invested and will invest on it.
Free software is a great thing, but the blind way that Stallman looks at this scene is just mind blowing. If he really wants that every company that develops proprietary software fails he is just going to kill his own idea because most of the big free software projects are possible because huge companies that earn money from proprietary software can pay for employees to contribute to these free projects.
Stallman also said that he wouldn't use/recommend the Raspberry Pi just because of one single proprietary part of it (which is probably the GPU). This, and the discussion about child's food that he had with Bryan, showed how he cannot think about practical implementations of his ideals of freedom. Projects like the Raspberry Pi are the things that are currently keeping my interesting on programming, since the programming scene is so saturated that everything I think might be a cool week pet project never comes out of the paper I've sketched, because there's already a well known and successful project which does exactly what I wanted and more.
What are your thoughts about my opinion? Want to troll? Agree? Leave a comment and I'll love (or not) to read it.
PS: This post was written using proprietary hardware on a Apple MacBook Pro 17" (2010 model), running a proprietary OS called Mac OS X, using a proprietary word processing software called iA Writer.
If you are looking for a place to learn about kernel hacking that's a site that I recommend you to go first.
Awesome news for the hacking community. This also says that they will release it for orders very soon.

You have created the wrong directory, you need to create /Library/StartupItems/Firewall/ It is this directory, /Library/StartupItems/, that OSX looks for when looking for items to run at startup.
Otherwise the rest looks fine.
As I understand it from other people the /Library/StartupItems/ directory may not exist by default. It was so long ago that I can no longer remember if I created it or it was there all along. Here are the permissions from my machine:

drwxr-xr-x root wheel /Library/StartupItems/Firewall/
As a note, never do anything in the /System directory.

OLYMPIA — Responding to a shot from Gov. Chris Gregoire that she doesn't need a "monkey wrench" thrown into budget negotiations, a campaign spokesman for Rob McKenna said the GOP candidate won't be releasing a full-blown budget on Monday.
Rather, it will be a statement of principles that a McKenna adminstration would use when compiling a sustainable budget.
The campaign announced this morning McKenna would hold a press conference Monday to announce a "budget policy paper". Asked about the impact that would have on ongoing talks to close the current budget shortfall — something that's consumed a special session in December, the 60-day regular session and nearly two-thirds of the current special session — Gregoire said she didn't know what McKenna was planning, but a new budget proposal wouldn't be helpful.
"I don't need a sixth budget proposal," she said. "I don't need somebody external…to throw a monkey wringe into" negotiations.
Charles McCray III, campaign spokesman for McKenna, said the budget proposal will be the latest in a serious of white papers that provide "guiding principles to push us in the direction of sustainability" on state spending, not a full-blown spending plan.
"He's not inserting himself into negotiations," McCray said.
As for the timing of the press conference, McCray said that was when it "fit on the calendar." It wouldn't be a problem, McCray added, "if they had done their job during the regular session."

Coach hoping cautious approach with injured regulars pays off for RSL
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: March 15, 2012 03:26PM
Updated: March 15, 2012 03:26PM
Midfielder Will Johnson won't be rushed back from sports hernia surgery. Outside back Tony Beltran won't be pushed to play on an injured knee before it's totally healed, and central defender Nat Borchers, forward Alvaro Saborio and midfielder Javier Morales have been afforded all the time they need to recover from offseason surgery.
Consider it the new world order at RSL.
Coach Jason Kreis has resolved to be more patient this season, even with the fleet of new players destined to cut their teeth in place of the injured regulars. After injuries wrecked last season and led directly to the team's playoff exit, Kreis is being ever more mindful that it's a long season, and better to have your best players fit at the end.
"Typically, I think we've always been very concerned about the beginning of the season, and how we're going to start, how important the matches are at the beginning of the season," he said. "But I think this year we're taking a little bit more of a patient approach, and saying that this is the time to get lots of players lots of experience, so that at the end of the year, when we have to rotate the teams, we know exactly what we have."
RSL opens its home season against the New York Red Bulls at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night, when several new players could feature again. Midfielder Sebastian Velasquez seems a logical choice in place of Johnson on the left side of the midfield, while newcomer Terukazu Tenaka could make his debut in place of Beltran, who took a blow to the back of his knee in the season-opening victory at Los Angeles last weekend.
"If this was a playoff game, maybe we would push him a little harder, see where we'd come out," Kreis said of Beltran. "But we won't. We'll take a very cautious approach, and I'd say there is very little chance he plays this weekend."
It's a strategy he hopes will pay off down the line, with a healthy core of regulars and an experienced group of reserves.
"If things come out the way we want them to come out, we could be very deep," he said. "It's just now, we just don't know. We could be very deep, we could not be very deep. There are still answers to be found."

Talking with Desde Hollywood over the weekend about his upcoming Kick-Ass 2, John Leguizamo was asked if he was interested in being in the upcoming Superman vs. Batman movie.
First he touched on the lack of diversity in many superhero genre films despite the fan base being very diverse. "Just because I have to represent for my Latin people. It's crazy. I went to Comic-Con and 50% of the nerds were Latin, Black, and Asian. I said Come on! We are so underrepresented and we support the whole industry."
He has a point. How many non-white superheroes have their been? For that matter, how many non-white villains?

Is the Company Undervalued at This Price?
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ) shares took a 12% hit on Tuesday when it announced in its quarterly earnings report that the company had written down $8.8 billion as it had discovered "serious accounting improprieties" in the British software company, Autonomy, which it acquired in 2011. The British company, HP's financial statement noted, had "outright misrepresented" its own value.
The non-cash charge was for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Autonomy, and it wiped out HP's profit. The latest financial statement shows a loss of $6.9 billion against a $200-million profit a year back.
In light of the current charge and negative impact of similar news in the last 16 months or so, we look at whether HPQ is a hold, buy or sell at this price.
The Story So Far
This is not the first time that HP stock has faltered due to the Autonomy acquisition. It was considered an expensive blunder at the time, and the market was unimpressed by the 64% premium that HP paid on Autonomy's market price. HP stock fell by a whopping 20% when the deal was announced in 2011. The then CEO Leo Apotheker, who had called Autonomy "a highly profitable and globally respected software company, with a well-regarded management team and talented, dedicated employees," left the company soon after.
There seems to be a method to HP's system of due diligence and evaluation of companies it acquires. Only a few months back, in August 2012, HP had announced that it would be taking an accounting charge of $8 billion on account of its acquisition of Electronic Data Systems in 2008. Then HP had said that the results were not up to the expectations, while this time around,the company is taking up the matter with United States' SEC and the UK's Serious Fraud Office.
Regardless of what comes out of these measures, the money is gone forever and not going to come back.
The company also announced that it would take a charge of $1.5 billion -- $1.7 billion instead of the projected charge of $1 billion on account of cutting jobs as more workers had opted for earlier retirement.
It has been a continuous flow of negative news for HPQ in this and the previous quarter. It is unsurprising for investors to wonder whether there is any value left in the company. At the same time, there are investors who would want to know whether it is a good buy at this level.
Let us have a look at the fiscal fourth quarter financial statement from a different angle. Fourth quarter GAAP loss per share of $3.49 is definitely one we would be concerned about. However, if one does not take into account the charges in the fiscal fourth quarter, the non-GAAP earnings per share is $1.16, which is only 1% down from the same quarter in the previous year but above the average forecast of $1.14 per share.
While net revenue is down by 7% compared to the same period prior-year, when adjusted to currency changes, the drop is only 4%. However, cash flow from operations has shown an impressive increase of 69%. The company has also distributed $384 million to shareholders by way of income distribution (dividend 13.2 cents) and share repurchases. The highlight of the financial results however is the company's non-GAAP operating margin of 10.4% (up by 9.7% over the prior-year quarter) and net earnings of $2.3 billion.
On the other side, there was a 5% drop in printing revenue, a 14% drop in revenues from personal systems, and a 6% drop in services revenue. Software revenue, however, grew by 14%.
The Road Ahead
Most of the woes of HP have been due to the bad choices it made in its acquisitions. While the then-CEO and strategy officer are being made out as scapegoats, the fact of the matter is that the current CEO, Meg Whitman, and most of the board voted for the acquisition of Autonomy. At the same time, Whitman has taken some bold steps on taking office.
Whitman reversed the previous decision of shelving off the company's PC business that gave the company $40 billion in revenue and a $2-billion operating profit. She has also not shied away from accepting the mistakes and writing off losses so as to clean up the balance sheet. In the last year, Hewlett Packard has reduced its net debt by $5.456 billion (down to $17.135 billion from $22.591 billion).
The company's 4.51% dividend yield is more than that of Microsoft (3.44%) and a tad below Intel (4.61%).
Per the company's guidance, it estimates non-GAAP EPS of $0.68 - $0.71 (GAAP EPS $0.34 - $0.7) in the first fiscal quarter 2013 and $3.40 - $3.60 (GAAP EPS$2.10 - $2.30) for the full year. Estimates exclude tax costs of roughly $0.34 (Q4FY2013) and $1.30 (FY2013) per share.
Considering the cleanup efforts of the current management, I would suggest investors to hold HPQ. Those considering buying the stock can expect to see an impressive appreciation in the long term plus a reasonable dividend yield.

- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 4 teaspoons canola oil
- 4 6-ounce tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
- Working over a medium bowl, use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips of cucumber. Add the radishes, scallions, cilantro, vinegar, sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper and toss. Cover and refrigerate.
Using the flat side of a knife or the bottom of a heavy pan, crush the coriander seeds and peppercorns.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the remaining salt over the tuna and press some of the crushed coriander and pepper onto each side. Cook, turning once, until the tuna reaches the desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Divide the tuna among individual plates and serve with the Asian slaw.
Tip: Coriander adds a fresh, almost sweet flavor to many dishes. Crush some extra coriander seeds and black peppercorns and use the mixture as a rub for steaks, pork chops, or firm fish, such as halibut and salmon.

TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mike Dunlap wanted to change the culture of the Charlotte Bobcats when he took over as coach last summer. So far, he is definitely succeeding. The Bobcats fought back from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter on Monday night to stun the Milwaukee Bucks 102-98 at Time Warner Cable Arena, winning for the fourth time in their last five games. The win moved them to a perfect 4-0 in games decided by four points or less, and it was a great example of how far this team has come since struggling to a 7-59 record last year. The Bobcats are now 5-4. "There's nothing like a win to give us confidence to put another page in the playbook of how to win, how to win close games," Dunlap said. "I know we've had a lot of close games, and we've won most of them. That's a good sign for a young team." The Bobcats ultimately won by scoring the last four points of the game, holding the Bucks scoreless on their last four possessions. Mich...

Pete Woods Quits DC, No Controversy Ensues
- Written by Jude Terror on Thursday, May 23 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Bleeding Cool
It's happened again, folks! Another creator has fallen victim to DC Comics corporate malevolence, as Bleeding Cool rumor-monger Rich Johnston reported last night that artist Pete Woods will be leaving Justice League of America's Vibe after drawing only six issues. The announcement comes on the heels of month after month of embarrassing screw-ups and creator walk-offs at DC, and we're excited to hear what the bumbling company has done this time. From a letter Woods sent to Johnston:
I'm currently halfway through drawing issue 6 of VIBE which will be my final issue. The next major project I do will not be a DC project.
Yes! Give us the dirt, Pete! What did they do?!
With all the sensationalism that goes on these days I feel I should make several things clear.
First- I LOVE working on VIBE and hate to leave it. It's a fantastic book and exactly what fans always say they want. Sterling Gates is doing a kick-ass job and there's plenty more fun in the future of the character. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE- if you haven't tried VIBE then give it a shot. It's fantastic. Even without me drawing it.
Alright, we got it. You gotta stay loyal to Sterling Gates. That's classy. Now dish the dirt. Did DC try to kill Vibe and replace him with a white guy? Did they constantly insist on last minute editorial changes? Did Dan Didio have an obnoxious habit of eating your lunch out of the office fridge despite it clearly being labeled "Pete Woods' Lunch - Do Not Touch?!"
Second- DC Editorial is not a pack of megalomaniacal egotists out to dictate their sexist, violent, high-collared view of what the DCU should be. They are in fact a group of dedicated professionals working hard to bring you the freshest, most exciting comics they possibly can. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with these people and I hope that I can again in the future. They have been my family and I love them.
Those bastards! I knew it! When will DC learn that... wait, what?
Third- I am leaving VIBE of my own volition. No big, mean editor fired me. They didn't ignore my service of over a decade because they're heartless and cruel.
I... they... what happened? There's no controversy? I... don't understand...
DC has been good to me and committed to keeping me employed.
But they're still jerks, right?
They are good people.
I am leaving VIBE because I was presented with an opportunity from another publisher to help launch a property that I have loved since I was a kid. It was an opportunity that presents itself once or twice in a lifetime and I simply could not turn it down.
So no public meltdown? No chain reaction of other people quitting? Nothing at all?!
I am sorry to those who might feel let down by me leaving VIBE. As I said it was not an easy decision to make. Brian Cunningham is a great editor and I'm sure whoever he gets to take my place will make you a happy camper.
That's not how you do this! Insult his manhood! Call him a monster!
If you stuck through all that then thank you. I hate seeing all the bashing DC.
Yeah! You tell em, Pete! Stop picking on DC. (*looks around innocently, whistling*)
Well... that was... unexpected. But good! Very good! We're happy to hear that, despite everything, DC is capable of parting ways with a creator without becoming an industry laughingstock. We don't say this often, but...
Well done, DC. Nice job not going out of your way to piss off and abuse at least one of your employees. Maybe this is the point where you turn things around. Maybe a new day is dawning at DC comics. Maybe they're not so bad after all. Maybe, when you think about it, deep down, we've all got a little DC Comics in us. Maybe it's time that DC Comics and The Outhouse put aside our differences and...
Whoops, gotta go! I'm getting a breaking report that DC plans to announce a new series named White Power, featuring a new hero named Alex White facing a dangerous threat to the DC Universe known only as the Black Menace.
Well, it was nice while it lasted, DC. We'll always have Paris.

Postpartum Problems (cont.)
Urinary incontinence and, less commonly, fecal incontinence, plague some new mothers shortly after giving birth.
The inadvertent passage of urine, especially when laughing, coughing or straining, usually is caused by the stretching of the base of the bladder during pregnancy and delivery. Usually, time is all that's needed to return your muscle tone to normal. You may hasten the process by doing Kegel exercises.
In the meantime, wear protective undergarments or sanitary napkins. If the problem persists, talk to your doctor, who may be able to prescribe medication to relieve the problem. If you experience pain or burning, or have an uncomfortable urgency to urinate, tell your doctor. This could be a sign of a bladder infection.
Lack of bowel control often is attributed to the stretching and weakening of pelvic muscles, tearing of the perineum, and nerve injury to the sphincter muscles around the anus during delivery. It is most common in women who have had a prolonged labor followed by a vaginal birth.
Although fecal incontinence usually disappears after several months, talk with your doctor about exercises to help you regain control of your bowels. Fecal incontinence that does not resolve itself over time may require surgical repair.
Hair Loss
That lustrous sheen that pregnancy brought to your hair may fade by the time your baby is 6 months old. You'll likely notice hair loss as well. During pregnancy, skyrocketing hormones prevent the normal, almost imperceptible daily loss of hair. Several months after delivery (or when breast-feeding slows or ceases), many women begin to fear the worst as they watch their hair fall out at an alarming rate. Rest assured, the hair you're losing is only equivalent to the hair you would have shed during pregnancy had your hormones not stepped in. Generally, the sudden change in hair volume is temporary and not noticeable to others.
Postpartum Depression
Most women experience a case of the "baby blues" after the birth of their child. Changes in hormone levels, combined with the new responsibility of caring for a newborn, make many new mothers feel anxious, overwhelmed or angry. For most, this moodiness and mild depression go away within several days or weeks.
Longer lasting or more severe depression is classified as postpartum depression (PPD), a condition that affects 10% to 20% of women who have just given birth. PPD, which usually becomes apparent two weeks to three months after delivery, is characterized by intense feelings of anxiety or despair. Lack of sleep, shifts in hormone levels and physical pain after childbirth can all contribute to PPD, making it difficult for some women to cope with their new role and overcome their sense of loneliness, fear or even guilt.
The first step in treating postpartum depression is enlisting the support of family and close friends. Share your feelings with them, and get their help in caring for your infant. Be sure to discuss any PPD symptoms with your doctor, who can prescribe medication or recommend support groups to help you better cope with these new and unfamiliar emotions.
If your depression is combined with lack of interest in the baby, suicidal or violent thoughts, hallucinations or abnormal behavior, get immediate medical attention. These symptoms could indicate a more serious condition called postpartum psychosis.
Discomfort During Sex
You can resume sexual activity once you feel comfortable -- both physically and emotionally. After a vaginal birth, it's best to postpone intercourse until the vaginal tissue heals completely, usually four to six weeks (less if you didn't have an episiotomy). After a cesarean birth, you doctor will probably advise you to wait six weeks.
You may find sex to be physically uncomfortable, even painful, for up to three months after delivery, particularly if you are breast-feeding. Because breast-feeding reduces levels of the hormone estrogen in the body, your vagina may be unusually dry during the postpartum period. A water-based lubricant can help relieve some of the discomfort. Tenderness at the location of an episiotomy also is not uncommon for weeks or months after giving birth.
Even after your body heals, you may find that you are less interested in sex than you were before your baby arrived. Physical exhaustion accompanied by new distractions and emotional changes can take their toll on your libido. Many women battle feelings of unattractiveness in the postpartum period, and some find it more difficult to achieve orgasm. Breast-feeding can also change how you and your partner perceive sexual intimacy. Sharing your feelings with your partner and recognizing that these issues usually are temporary may help you deal with them more easily.
Regaining your pre-pregnancy shape
Exercise is one of the best ways to lose post-pregnancy weight, regain your energy level, relieve stress, and restore your muscle strength. Unless you've had a cesarean delivery, difficult birth or pregnancy complications (in which case, you should talk with your doctor), you can usually resume moderate exercise once you feel up to it. If you exercised before and during pregnancy, you have a head start on postpartum fitness, but don't expect to jump immediately back into a vigorous exercise program.
Brisk walking and swimming are excellent exercise and good ways to build up to more intense activities. Because of the risk of bacteria entering the healing tissue of the vagina, however, you should not swim for the first three weeks after delivery.
Toning and strengthening exercises, such as sit ups or leg lifts, are one of the best ways to jumpstart your postpartum program. Light, repetitive weight lifting also can help your body get back into pre-pregnancy shape. But remember, take it slow and focus more on long-term health than on short-term results.

Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) granted Chief Executive Walt Bettinger a $10.5 million long-term compensation award, which could escalate to $14.5 million if the company meets certain performance targets, according to a regulatory filing late Wednesday.
In the document, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the San Francisco discount brokerage said the compensation committee of its board approved a $4 million long-term, incentive-based cash award for Mr. Bettinger. He could take home up to 200% of that target though, or $8 million, depending on Schwab's performance, plus $3.25 million in restricted stock units and $3.25 million in nonqualified stock options, the company said.
The cash portion of the pay package will be granted March 1, but won't vest for four years and will be based on the company "achieving a performance target related to cumulative earnings per common share for the four-year period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016," the filing said.
The restricted stock units, also with a grant date of March 1, will vest 25% in four annual installments and are based on criteria including Schwab's return on common equity. The stock options will be granted in three installments and will vest 25% on the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant, according to the filing.
Mr. Bettinger, who just completed his fourth year as Schwab's CEO, has had his total annual pay stay roughly flat over the past three years at around $10 million.
The compensation award disclosed Wednesday follows a year in which Schwab's profit rose by 7% and its revenue increased by 4%. The company, which posted a strong fourth quarter of net new asset growth, has been hurt by low interest rates and weak trading volume in recent years.
With continued low rates, Schwab has been waiving fees on its money-market funds so client yields don't turn negative. The fee waivers have cut into Schwab's asset management and administration fees.
Among other executive-pay disclosures, the company said it would grant Chairman and Founder Charles "Chuck" Schwab a $5 million long-term award, which could reach as much as $7 million based on the same performance criteria. Mr. Schwab's pay package also includes $2 million in deferred cash, $1.5 million in restricted stock and $1.5 million in nonqualified stock options.
Shares of Charles Schwab closed up 0.3% at $16.52. The stock has climbed 15% so far in 2013.
Write to Brett Philbin at firstname.lastname@example.com
"Schwab Grants CEO Bettinger $10.5 Million Long-Term Compensation Award -Filing," published at 4:03 p.m. EST misstated the total potential value of the compensation awards for the chief executive and chairman. They are $17.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, not $14.5 million and $7 million.

"Light" is relative. Pretty much every zone is seeing dramatic changes in the landscape, so being flooded doesn't necessarily make Tanaris exceptional in its changes. A bigger factor will be, how has the questing changed? Are the South Seas Pirates likely to still be in operation? Check. Is the Steamwheedle Cartel going to still be in business? Check. So, will the questing experience in Tanaris change? Maybe a bit, but not nearly as dramatically as many other zones. Compared to what's happening in a lot of other zones, Tanaris is getting some cosmetic changes and an instance entrance -- that would be "light".
I beg to differ. Blizzard has stated quite a few times that every zone will get at least a couple changes, but only a few zones are getting a big overhaul. Desolace and Tanaris are both getting the big overhaul, nothing has been stated about STV that I have read, Also, STV is just horrible. I hate that place with a passion. Desolace is really a 30s zone so I voted for Tanaris, which is one of the few well thought out zones from vanilla. Also, you get to kill Pirates, and as everyone knows, Pirates are high on the Cool Meter, followed closely by Ninjas, Robots, Zombies, and Aliens. Only 1 thing is above them, Dragons. No dragons till the late 40s/early 50s. I think the Horde Onyxia quest chain is even still intact, so eventually you guys could do that.
Why is Yakkowakko getting retired? If it's a good enough reason we'll let you switch, if not look to Rossi, he's still schlumping his way on that mage. I voted Priest if it's a good reason, Tanaris to level in (go pirate hunting), and do some BGs. I want to hear some good PvP stories and stories of adventure on the high seas (drug free, alchohol is allowed though ;) )

"passive intelligence" "Passive Learning" "Passive Doing". what next?
"Passive Intelligence", "Passive Learning", "Passive Doing"
Today most of us are bound to this digital age; information encompasses and overwhelms us, it is rarely tied to experience. Information projected on a two dimensional surface becomes our day to day reality. This information manifests in us as it churns through our very core altering our day to day experiences. We adhere to a projected surface. We accumulate Information as we revolve around a quantity that superficially exists on the surface of an illuminated screen. Are we really learning or does this "learning" delude us into a sense of security, well-being and completeness?
We think this accumulated knowledge is intelligence, how true is this?
I enjoy the internet, I enjoy it very much. I get caught in the lure of information and media. Soon the things I once enjoyed beyond the screen become unimportant, overwritten and forgotten.
I remember the many times I overcame obstacles as a child, I recall all the trees I climbed with such fervour, the days I spent scratching along the sides of the Himalayas, all those times I repeatedly dismantled myself and my bicycle in the span of seconds in a failed attempt to avert a collision. They were good times, it dominated any given day, but this was a day in the life of a child.
Interestingly there are people who have dedicated their lives to doing such things as adults, they come on TV, and we watch them.
I often feel like we are heading towards this state of passive observation, watching others, and hoping one day that we might be watched in return. It all seem to fit perfectly; a fantasy, superficially extending beyond the limits of human capacity.

Aug 26 2011: You have a good point here.
There are different kinds of learning with different results in knowing.
Someone that lived an event and those that heard of it know the same thing but only the first really knows.
This plays a role also in education. Students learn from books social studies or something else and if they work in that field they know if they haven't forgotten it but can't put it into practice.
"Passive knowing gives passive doing" as you've said already and I think you know it all, so why discussing? Can we change it?
Aug 26 2011: "Can we change it?"
i think a good start would be to develop one's self-awareness. a strong developed understanding of passivity in us and how it manifests would help identify the problem, this allows us to overcome it, if necessary.
the necessity always arises with the awareness. but on the other hand, action, change, altering the mundane/ common will be difficult. but that is the very nature of change.
thank you for say a little something.
its good to have people talk about these things.

West Michigan's colleges and universities are adding programs and contests aimed at budding entrepreneurs. From curriculums with an entrepreneurial emphasis to pitch and business plan competitions, the region's institutes of higher education are building business programs that put academic theory into real-life practice.
Teaching people how to be entrepreneurs is in vogue at business schools these days. Across the country, colleges and universities are scurrying to create entrepreneurship programs as traditional MBA offerings like finance lose some of their luster. But what about teaching people who already are entrepreneurs?
Stuffy is out, fun is in. That general trend in office culture has been taking shape for a couple of decades, but it's becoming more pronounced as companies struggle to attract young creative talent and inspire their workforce.
Law firms in the Grand Rapids area made modest improvements between 2011 and 2012 in diversifying their ranks amid hope of greater gains to come by collectively focusing on the issue.
