Bishop: I Did Not Tell Priests To Stop Giving Communion To Rep. Kennedy
The Roman Catholic bishop of Providence says he did not order priests in his diocese to stop giving Communion to Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island.
He did, though, nearly three years ago ask Kennedy to stop receiving Communion because of the lawmaker's support of abortion rights, Bishop Thomas Tobin says.
"If I had told 300 priests of the diocese in any format not to give Communion to Kennedy or anybody else, you think that would have remained confidential?" Tobin asks in this morning's Providence Journal.
Kennedy told the newspaper Friday that Tobin had "instructed me not to take Communion and said that he has instructed the diocesan priests not to give me Communion."
In today's ProJo, Tobin calls Kennedy's claim "absolutely inaccurate."
As the Associated Press writes, the "bitter dispute over abortion ... has revealed the depth of the divide among Catholics over how politicians should reconcile their faith with their public duties."
Kennedy is the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Hi all. So I currently have the Local Market Explorer plugin on my site HawaiiHousingNews.com. Can SREP be used the same way? Comparing modules, SREP appears to have more to offer than LME, however can it be set up the same way as my LME page?
I'm not a realtor and don't have access to an MLS system, so I don't plan on using this for listings. This is to be used to give the site visitors more information on towns and markets across Hawaii and, hopefully, give them another reason to stay on my site longer. I suppose I could stick the shortcodes on a page but I can't make it look 'nice'. Does anyone have a template or example of a page that's done this? Thanks.

Images of a human iris contain rich texture information useful for identity authentication. A key and still open issue in iris recognition is how best to represent such textural information using a compact set of features (iris features). In this paper, we propose using ordinal measures for iris feature representation with the objective of characterizing qualitative relationships between iris regions rather than precise measurements of iris image structures. Such a representation may lose some image-specific information, but it achieves a good trade-off between distinctiveness and robustness. We show that ordinal measures are intrinsic features of iris patterns and largely invariant to illumination changes. Moreover, compactness and low computational complexity of ordinal measures enable highly efficient iris recognition. Ordinal measures are a general concept useful for image analysis and many variants can be derived for ordinal feature extraction. In this paper, we develop multilobe differential filters to compute ordinal measures with flexible intralobe and interlobe parameters such as location, scale, orientation, and distance. Experimental results on three public iris image databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ordinal feature models.

-Attract Attention.
-Project an Image.
-Increase Brand Retention.
Using Hang Tags is common practice in retail.
It is a great way to attract attention to your products
and is an essential piece of the marketing puzzle
when you are ready to promote your line.
Let's Brand Your Products!
Make a lasting impression on your customers and potential retailers
I really like the process it takes before I can put my order in production because it assures me I'm going to get what I want.
Juan D., New York
Marketing your product by using Hang Tags is common practice in retail. It is a great way to attract attention to your products and is an essential piece of the marketing puzzle when you are ready to promote your line.
Not only are they a great compliment to any clothing line or handmade product, but they add a level of professionalism to your branding.
We offer hang tags of all types and the first step for you to consider is what you want it to say and the impact you want it to achieve.
Your hangtag should:
- Attract Attention. You want it to stand out and help you build brand recognition.
- Project an Image. You want it to express what your company stands for. They should be able to get the idea of your company at a glance.
- Associate with your Product. You need people to know, when they see your tag, that it directly reflects the product it is attached to.
- Size: Should I go big or small with my hangtag? What you want is your tag to be difficult to ignore. What you need to consider is the product it is going to be attached to; what size would best suit my line. The stronger the impact, the larger the tag.
- Colors: Should I keep it simple or go bold? Hang tags have the flexibility of being as simple as 2 colors, to as elaborate as a photograph. Just keep in mind the best way it will project your company's image.
- Content: What should I put on my hangtag? Many companies use the back of the tag to include details about the products and what makes them unique. Your logo and content information should also be prevalent on your hang tag.
Retail 101 shares the importance of marketing anything and everything with hang tags. They are not limited to just clothing and accessories. If you look at everything the chances are you will find a hang tag. They are common on; purses, toys, games, equipment, motorcycles, shoes, furniture, electronics and just about anything you can add to an online store or retail shelf.
"Any product you can think of will benefit from a well-designed hang tag. What other product can do two things at once. They are promoting your product at the very moment your customer is touching, feeling and looking at your items."
This is a win-win for reinforcing your company's message and image.
We have a team of representatives that are ready to help you with your hang tags. We offer hang tags that are printed on one side or both, in a variety of sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, as well as a variety of ways to adhere them to your products.

1. are you retarded?he is not a hypebeast, just because he's wearing supreme doesn't mean hes a hypebeast. Seems like this thread is all about that, might as well call it "POST PEOPLE ON HERE WHO WEAR SUPREME"
i know how and he's a chill good dude and he doesn't buy into the hype, call someone a hypebeast who goes and buys the feather camp for $300 then calls it his grail, not someone who buys shit he likes and wears it.
2. pretty sure dude doesnt buy what he likes cause that tee is repulsive
3. are you retarded?

"I wanted something with bright color. This was perfect, and I was able to customize the invitation. very happy with Tiny Prints!"
"this is the third time I have used Tiny prints for holiday invitations. I like the fact that I do no have to order a large quantity and yet can still get a very professional, custom and quickly devilered invitation."
"We ordered this card for our Thanksgiving party & EVERYONE raved about it! Very stylish & not your traditional holiday invite. Paper quality & color was great! My ONLY complaint is that it took extra postage due to the odd size. Truly a great card!"
"I customized these invitations to use as change-of-address cards. The paper stock is substantial, the colors are elegant and sophisticated, and I love the contrast between the dark grey and the chartreuse."
"We used this card for a unique birth annoucement for our fall baby. We are very pleased with the quality of the paper and printing. We used the orange font color as recommended for the second line of text, and it is a bit brighter than pictured online. Otherwise, everything was as expected, and we love the annoucement (as we loved the annoucement we ordered from tiny prints for our first child). So, overall, thumbs up!"

Now Open: Mt. Fuji
The Chef's Choice platter at Mt. Fuji.
Maple Grove's Mt. Fuji opened a new Uptown branch in the former Mysore--will it break 2819 Hennepin's curse?
According to the Southwest Journal, the restaurant opened March 31 for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining--midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends. It also hits all the necessary Uptown amenities: a full bar, takeout, delivery, and a several happy hour specials.
The menu features hibachi entrees, seafood, noodle and rice dishes, ranging from $13 to $26, and "French style sushi," though I'm not really sure what that means? I can't say I ate sushi when I was in France--do they decorate the platters with little paper berets in lieu of plastic grass? A quick google led me to Jeremy Iggers' speculations:
The last place I went that offered "French-style sushi" was the Mt. Fuji in Maple Grove, which serves up neon day-glo fantasies on the theme of sushi far more elaborate than anything dreamed of in the land of the rising sun.
I'll let you know what I find out about French-style sushi and what they've done to improve the awkwardness of the space after I visit...

Robots. pen and ink
That is horrifying and amazing o_o
WOW! Really awesome.
I enjoy the techniques used to depict your vision for your illustration. Bravo!
Great job! The faces are amazing!
Nice work. The composition came out great. I especially like to white accents you used.
Wow, great work on the faces, they are very life like.
If your able to answer, what kind or type of pen did you use?
If your able to answer, what kind or type of pen did you use?
Nice, reminds me of the old good si-fi movies somehow.. the whole soul in mechanic body conception
hey! this is nice, are you interested in working on some cover art for a music project? send me a message
o wo he looks like hes in pain :C
but its so pretty!
the emotions.
but its so pretty!
the emotions.
I have this project I'm working on, hoping to get it published via Image Comics. Was wondering if you had the time to collaborate on it (illustrations wise) since your art is amazing and would def fit the bill so to speak. If you're interested, please write me at firstname.lastname@example.com. have a great day.
mmmm yummy! Reminds me of Caza style. amazing!
Amazing ink job!
Nicely done. They are so clean and still so detailed.
Wow... that is amazing.
My friend James has the exact same style as you
on point dude keep up the great work
That's cool. So much detail
this is pretty fantastic. Humanoid Robotics are tricky and you definitely seem to have the figure town pretty well. what i like are all the plains on the figures themselves. the Asymmetry on the one in the bottom middle is pretty terrific. I really like the subtle intricacies of your machines. my philosophy is when you do robotics, there are certain rules you really have to adhere to. All the parts and joints and such are, in a sense, separate, but yet unified. So these pieces have to all, stylistically look like they came from the same robot. Nice work, it really is quite successsful
dude!! this is simply BRILLIANT!!
one word, brilliant!
yea cool
Sweet Illustration. Nice style!
Holy God! That is awesome.
las maquinas seran los destructores de nuestra raza ...sin salvacion alguna de nosotros...que pena...pero ta genial tu interpretacion!!!!
very creative ^_^
great work
great work
vary cool

White Sox players reportedly did not pay clubhouse dues at Safeco Field to protest
Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
Chris Sale was recently suspended five games by the White Sox over a heated confrontation with front office staff over an issue concerning throwback uniforms the team was to wear against the Tigers. Sale was scratched from his scheduled start, forcing Matt Albers to make a spot start.
Ken Rosenthal reports that the White Sox players also collectively protested over another issue. The club was in Seattle for a three-game series at Safeco Field from July 18-20 last week. The Mariners have a new clubhouse policy that, as Rosenthal describes, redirects 60 percent of the dues into an account managed by the team. White Sox players did not agree with the policy because "Mariners management unilaterally entered a financial relationship that historically has existed between only players and 'clubbies,'" Rosenthal explains.
Clubhouse attendants handle a lot of the players' needs, typically doing a litany of chores throughout the day. They don't get paid handsomely for their labor, so players often tip the clubhouse attendants for their hard work. The White Sox were protesting that the money was being redirected from the hardworking clubbies to the front office.
Mariners GM Jerry DiPoto confirmed that the White Sox were the first team to refuse payment to the visiting clubhouse manager Jeff Bopp. DiPoto also noted that other teams have reacted with "curiosity" and that the Giants backtracked after adjusting its clubhouse procedures last year following complaints from visiting players.
This is the third controversy in which the White Sox have been involved. Before the start of the regular season, some members of the club were upset that Adam LaRoche — now retired — often brought his son Drake into the clubhouse. Then there's the Sale incident, and now this. Needless to say, it's been an interesting year for the White Sox.
Report: Rangers interested in Royals' Edinson Volquez
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images
Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports that the entire Rangers "inner circle of front office personnel" was on hand to watch Edinson Volquez start for the Royals against the Rangers on Sunday. Volquez went six innings, giving up a lone run on seven hits and three walks with three strikeouts.
Volquez, 33, is earning $9.5 million this season and can become a free agent after the season if his team chooses to buy him out for $3 million instead of picking up their end of his $10 million mutual option for 2017. GM Jon Daniels said he was hoping the club would be able to avoid considering rentals, but as the club has dealt with injuries, the strength of the starting rotation has become a concern. Colby Lewis and Derek Holland are both on the disabled list. Yu Darvish has made only five starts since making his season debut in late May. Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse — who has given up 13 runs in two starts — has occupied the back of the rotation. A reliable starter would go along way towards helping the 57-42 Rangers fight to keep first place in the AL West.
Jon Morosi of FOX Sports also reports that the Rangers have shown interest in young Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez, but they would pay a much higher price for him than for Volquez. Velasquez has a 3.34 ERA with a 103/34 K/BB ratio in 91 2/3 innings for the Phillies this season.

For the past months no entries are created in startmenu when I install an application. This is truly annoying. Windows is not my main OS so I am kind of at a loss.
The only clue I could find is this:
THE SOLUTION IS HERE!What solved the issue was to add Authenticated Users back to the profiles of all files on the system. This may not be the way thing originally were setup but when I copied an outlook folder from Vista OS to my Win 7 OS (both are on my PC) is when the Authenticated Users rights went away. In addition I had to go back into start menu properties and select custom and re-enable Administrative Tool which also went away at some point. Everything is back to normal now.
But I don't really know what this guy is saying.
Anyone with a clue stick, please smack me hard with it.
Here are screencaps of permissions for start menu folder. All permissions out of view are disabled. It seems adding write permissions may be the way to go, but I am not really sure ...

I have a weird problem where I'm trying to pass GET variables in a redirect URL - e.g. mywebsite.com?name=fred&age=35&location=london - but for some reason the & symbols are replaced by &#
038; in the URL - which of course doesn't work.
I can fix this by commenting out the following line (85) from the formatting.php file:
$curl = preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-zA-Z1-4]{1,8};)/', '&
;$1', $curl);
But - my question is - what else does this line/wptexturize affect? Is this going to muck up my use of & symbols across the whole site?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the weird code formatting by the way, but if I write &#
038; in one line it turns into an &!

This move has continued to push BCOR into breakout territory, since the stock has solidly moved up some near-term overhead resistance levels at $16.39 to $16.77. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BCOR as long as it's trending above $16.39 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 262,256 shares as bullish. If BCOR can maintain this trend, then the stock has a solid chance of hitting $20 in the near future.

Geneva Auctions Glitter
Auctions in Geneva next week will have plenty of glitter.
Sotheby's on Tuesday and Christie's on Wednesday will hold sales of "Magnificent Jewels," offering a combined total of some 868 pieces. Diamonds lead the way, backed by a wealth of emeralds, sapphires, rubies and natural pearls. Antique pieces will be there, alongside items by major 20th-century and contemporary jewelers such as Suzanne Belperron, René Boivin, Bulgari, Cartier, JAR, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Webb and Harry Winston.
The "Sun-Drop Diamond," a vivid yellow pear-shaped gem weighing 110.03 carats, will lead at Sotheby's. The rough stone, from which the polished diamond was made, was found in South Africa in 2010. "It is very rare to have a diamond of more than 100 carats," says David Bennett, who heads Sotheby's jewelry department in Europe. "The yellow Sun-Drop is huge and wonderful." The diamond is expected to fetch between 10.2 million Swiss francs and 14 million francs (€8.3 million and €11.4 million). If achieved, this would be the highest price by far ever paid at auction for a yellow diamond, Mr. Bennett notes.
Heading the antique section will be an historic, mid-19th century set with necklace, earrings and brooch featuring colorful diamonds estimated at around 10 million francs. As Sotheby's tells it, the stones in the parure helped save the Russian Empire back in 1711, when the country was on the verge of defeat by the Ottomans at the battle of Pruth River. To save the besieged Russian army, Catherine I, wife of Emperor Peter the Great, made a peace deal with Grand Vizier Baltaci Mehmet Pasha for Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III in which she handed over her jewels to him, likely among them the diamonds in this sale that were later used to make this Turkish Imperial set.
Sotheby's catalog cover lot is a magic brooch by René Boivin shaped as a bird in flight. Known as the "Dove of Peace" (1939), the item made just before the start of World War II is decorated with sapphires in various shades of blue. "This is an iconic piece of 20th-century jewelry," says Mr. Bennett (estimate: 230,000-400,000 francs). Among the pieces I love is a rock crystal and diamond brooch in the shape of a dragonfly in flight by JAR from 1987 (estimate: 230,000-410,000 francs). It is delicate, yet mysteriously strong.
At Christie's, the next day, among equally-beautiful JAR pieces will be a pair of brooches formed as butterflies with sapphire and amethyst wings and alert white diamond antennas, estimated at 55,000-70,000 francs. They seem somehow alive.
"Timeless Elegance," a collection of an anonymous European family given a separate catalog, is a major highlight of the Christie's auction, says Jean-Marc Lunel, head of Christie's Geneva Jewelry Department. "It is an extraordinary assemblage put together with great care and it reflects all the major periods and styles of 20th-century jewelry." Of the 67 jewels in the collection, Mr. Lunel expresses particular passion for a ruby and diamond brooch by Van Cleef & Arpels designed as a Japanese chrysanthemum that he describes as "stunning" (estimate: 270,000-450,000 francs).
Christie's is putting a special emphasis on Bulgari this month and will offer more than 40 lots by the jeweler. They will include a necklace with pendant of emeralds, rubies and diamonds estimated at 240,000-320,000 francs. Throughout the sale, emeralds will be a main feature. A top lot will be a pair of earrings with rare, matching emeralds from Colombia set off by white diamonds (estimate: 1.55 million-2.25 million francs).
Christie's will offer nine jewels from the collection of Susan Burton, who married jewelry-loving actor Richard Burton in 1976. All the pieces were bought for her by Mr. Burton. One is an emerald and diamond necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels (estimate: 40,000-60,000 francs). Another is a diamond ring that Sotheby's documents Richard Burton as saying in a note, "Went shopping for batteries but saw exquisite diamond ring, which bought on spot. S. deliciously delighted." The ring is estimated at 50,000-70,000 francs.

NOAA reopens Florida shark fishery
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has decided to open commercial shark fishing at Jupiter, Florida. This targets all species of shark found in the area, including lemon (Negaprion brevirostris), tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier), and hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran) sharks. It is perhaps important to note that NOAA has not proposed any form of catch limit on the fishery, nor any measures to prevent the commercial fishing of shark protected by CITES.

Judge won't dissolve Forum union contracts
YOUNGSTOWN — Two Northside Medical Center unions have agreed that Forum Health can notify the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation that the hospital system intends to transfer its employee pension plan to the auspices of the PBGC.
As a result, bankruptcy Judge Kay Woods today denied a motion by Forum for interim relief from the union contracts, saying there was noting prohibiting Forum from initiating the process.
Also, Judge Woods extended Forum's exclusivity period to Sept. 15, the date when its reorganization plan must be submitted to the court. During exclusivity, Forum is the only party that can submit a reorganization plan. When exclusivity ends, any interested party can submit a plan.
Also today, Forum health announced the layoff of 50 Northside employees over the next 30 days, and the closing of its behavioral health department.
Good for you, Judge Woods!!!
This idea that a corporation can simply declare bankruptcy and weasel its way out of its obligations to its workers, has GOT to come to a halt. Why bother having a contract at all - you know, a legally binding document - if Forum had no intention of following it?
The idea that a company can enter into a contract and have the other party work a lifetime to keep their end only to have the company try to walk away and let the taxpayer fulfill their pension and health care obligations is total BS. No pun intended NoBS.
Let anyone enter into a contract with Forum and not hold up their end and and you would find yourself in litigation so fast your head would swim. I'll bet Forum's financial condition doesn't keep their top executives from receiving pay increases and bonuses.
I am glad I live in a Right to Work state for one reason, no union!!! I have worked as an RN in a Union shop in Ohio and the only benefits I saw was the protection of the 30/300 the 30 year 300lb nurse who couldn't move from her seat. Now my raise is based on performance and productivity. Hmmmm imagine that, now if the management agreed to the contract they should follow through until the end. However, at the end of the contract remove the organized labor.
Mr./Ms. ProAmerican....your name doesn't hold with your comment.....if you would have any experience with Forum Health, WRCS, YHA, etc. you would have a pretty good idea why they're in the fix they are in. I'm not saying there have not been contracts that have not been good business for the system (which they approved)but the problems were far more in depth over years. This is another company, much like GM, banks, etc. that have not been managed well and had a board that was too busy running their own businesses!

Traditional cap with essentially mid-east European origin. Cap is made of skin friendly materials: wool, lining is made of viscose to keep good breathability, sweatband is made of split leather. It also has decorative twine and 2 dark oxidized finish buttons.
It came to Poland in XIXth century from today's Germany. At first it was considered as peasants headwear, then it became very popular when Pilsudski's Legions chose Maciejowka hat as a standard uniform headwear.
In mid-war period and after II World War Maciejowka cap was worn by former Legions veterans and patriotic members of society as a tribute to Legions and their Independence deed.
Although Maciejowka is essentially a Polish cap, strictly bound to Polish history and its dramatic moments, there are also some similiar patterns throughout the world (its name is just different). This model of cap is also known as fiddler cap or greek style fisherman's cap.
In our offer you can also find replicas of Pilsudski's Polish Legions Caps. This cap is available in big xxl and xxxl sizes. Precise handmade craftsmanship from Sterkowski's family-run manufacture.

I agree this omelet is very tasty. It's great when you find a quick easy recipe that comes out better than any restaurant. We made a couple tweaks to our liking; added 1 Tbsp of yogurt cause I find this helps make omelets abit more fluffy. For even more flavour I added a dash of hot sauce along with some chopped banana peppers in the eggs and finely chopped jalapeno with the bell peppers. We like our omelets meaty so we increased abit, rather than measuring by cups we measure by ounce's, normally use 5 - 6 oz. Awesome recipe, thanks for sharing.
This was a wonderful omelet, had lots of ingredients to make for a tasty meal. I had no sausage, so mine just had ham, which was fine. I also cut the cheese back, just added enough to give it a taste. I also added tomatoes as my garden is overflowing, so every recipe I can add tomatoes to I do. This would be great for supper, as it is a very filling omelet. Made for ZWT8
Thanks, Lainey, for this delicious omelette! I liked the ham and sausage together and the cheese really made it "oozy." I will make this one again. Fantastic for an easy week-night supper. Made for PAC, spring 2009.

An LED's lifespan and cool running temperatures are due to the lack of a filament within the bulb – nothing to acquire hot, not even attempt to burn out. It helps to create a concentrated shaft of light – any seepage will bounce off surrounding surfaces, especially computer screens, causing glare. Channel letters are made to square out from the structure and so are lit with neon or LEDs lights. This creates low pools of light, leaving the ceiling in darkness, which makes it seem lower and the room cozier and warmer.
Scandinavian Design is now world famous due to the Scandinavian design of making through the Scandinavian Designers. Each component with car is very important as they have a very specific role and contribute in providing protection to the vehicle. The real beauty of those lights from LedConceptsLighting was depicted through their pictures that have been available on the website of those car accessories providers.
If you want to do something giant and meandering, you'll incorporate some of the environments existing features (hills, cliffs, etc.). There is also a new variant of these lights available, which is called the LED halo headlights, who have LEDs inside them like a light source. Descriptions in italics are key symptoms in confirming the selection in the remedy. When you have a subject looking slightly to a single side, you're going to put the key light on their face from that side.

Huckabee Organizes National 'Day of Prayer' Campaign the Day Before Obama's Inauguration
Shortly before the election, Mike Huckabee tried to launch a get out the vote effort for conservative Christians modeled on the success he had had earlier in the year with his "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." Given the results of the election, the effort was obviously not very successful ... which is why Huckabee is now launching a similarly formatted "day of prayer" campaign scheduled for the day before President Obama's inauguration:
The elections have ended and although many of us may have desired a different outcome, we cannot change what has happened. However, we can in common cause come together to help heal the deep divisions which threaten the greatness of our nation and the freedoms we hold so dear.
Today I ask you, as a faith leader within your community, to commit to joining me on January 20th for A DAY TO PRAY, a nationwide event to begin the healing of our country.
A DAY TO PRAY isn't partisan or political, but is a spiritual event where believers from all faiths and walks of life will join together to pray for our selves, our families, our leaders, and our country.
As we have done in the past, let us bring together our friends, our families, and everyone we can reach using our own networks and platforms to advance A DAY TO PRAY and start a healing in this land.
Let us stand together with one voice to determine the future of our ONE NATION UNDER GOD ... It is important that we show our unity in this effort so that we will not be dismissed as only a few. We will be heard by Almighty God and he will answer our prayers as He has promised, and we will see a revival in our land.
Let me close by sharing one of my favorite quotes, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."
Abraham Lincoln said this at a time of great tumult for our nation. While our challenges are different today, receiving God's forgiveness and wisdom are just as important to the future of our nation.

Frameworks and libraries offer reusable and customizable functionality through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Correctly using large and sophisticated APIs can represent a challenge due to hidden assumptions and requirements. Numerous approaches have been developed to infer properties of APIs, intended to guide their use by developers. With each approach come new definitions of API properties, new techniques for inferring these properties, and new ways to assess their correctness and usefulness. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of over a decade of research on automated property inference for APIs. Our survey provides a synthesis of this complex technical field along different dimensions of analysis: properties inferred, mining techniques, and empirical results. In particular, we derive a classification and organization of over 60 techniques into five different categories based on the type of API property inferred: unordered usage patterns, sequential usage patterns, behavioral specifications, migration mappings, and general information.

Vaccines Health Center
Immunizations and Pregnancy - Topic Overview
Your immunity protects both you and your fetus. After you have been immunized (vaccinated) against or infected by a virus or bacteria, your body develops an immunity to that infectious agent. Full immunity can protect you from future infection, either for a lifetime or a limited period. Partial immunity strengthens your body's ability to fight that infection.
Before you become pregnant, be sure to review your immunization history with your doctor. Depending on the virus or bacteria, having had an immunization in childhood may not guarantee that you now have full immunity. To help ensure a healthy pregnancy, make sure that you are immune to the following before conceiving:
Before pregnancy: Rubella, measles, mumps, chickenpox
Rubella, measles, mumps, and chickenpox can harm a growing fetus. They can cause birth defects, fetal death, or premature birth. Chickenpox can also be dangerous for you when you're pregnant.
If you don't know whether you're immune to rubella, measles, or chickenpox, talk to your doctor about a blood test for antibodies to that virus. If you aren't immune, have the vaccination before becoming pregnant. To allow time for your body to develop antibodies to the virus, keep using birth control for at least 4 weeks after the vaccination.1
Your children should receive their immunizations on schedule. Having your child vaccinated against diseases does not increase your risk for becoming infected with them. You do not need to speed up or delay your child's immunizations.
Before or during pregnancy: Flu and whooping cough (pertussis)
Flu and whooping cough are dangerous diseases for newborns and young infants. The flu can also be dangerous for you when you're pregnant. Getting the flu and Tdap vaccines during pregnancy is considered safe for your fetus. And these vaccines protect both you and your newborn. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends:
- If you didn't get the yearly flu vaccine yet, get the flu shot before or during your pregnancy.2 This is especially important if you have a chronic health problem (including asthma). The intranasal vaccine contains live virus, so it is not used during pregnancy.
- Get a tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) shot before or during each pregnancy.1
- People who expect to have close contact with your baby should also get the flu and Tdap shots if they haven't had them. It's best to get them at least 2 weeks before contact with your baby.

I am trying to insert a floating div (that contains a slide show) into the bottom right hand corner of the last post on the home page (only.) I am able to insert the div after the content (by doing a count and then inserting <div> code if count==5), but when I position the image, the text doesn't respond to the float and there is no text wrapping. Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here is the code I've got so far:
<?php if ($count==5) : ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<div id="slideshow">
<?php if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } ?>
</div>--><!-- END SLIDESHOW -->
<?php else:?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endif;?>
Here is the CSS:
#slideshow {
width: 300px;
margin-top: -200px;
display: block;
The code above will position the image in the right place, but will cover up the text of the post instead of having text wrapping.
Thanks much,

Jhency (Guest)Obviously Park Avenue between about 1st Street and Grant in in extreme need of repaving, however I have been told that there are no plans in the near future to do so....So, please at least spend a day or two filling all the potholes along this stretch...it is well past the acceptable time to do so.
J (Guest)
Some effort was put in recently to patch this area however the bottom line is that Park is in desperate need of a complete mill and paving project. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the works as I write this. I have spoken with several City personnel about Park Ave. from about 1st Street to Grant being repaved but there is just no funding...We will just have to be persistent of reporting to TDOT Streets Maintenance about filling potholes and hope that a paving project will be approved in the future. I've made it known that I would like to see a Park Ave. resurfacing project be added to the list of bond expenditures, but it is not on the list yet and is at minimum 2 years away if it even gets added: http://government.tucsonaz.gov/street-bonds
FYI for all reading this, Park is scheduled to get a facelift/improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists but the vehicle roadway itself is not scheduled for any improvements. Call your City representatives in Transportation and tell them you want Park Ave. added to the list for complete mill and repaving and accelerated because the pavement is well past its useful life...Apparently Park is not a priority even though it is a high volume street serving the University...the more voices the better. Call 791-4371 and voice your concerns.

Two nights ago, standing on that little median in the poor lighting, i wasn't going to closely examine the downed sign. All's well that ends well, I guess. I still hope they put some some sort of little flashing light to be associated with the sign; seems that sign is only-barely-adequate protection for night pedestrians (the crosswalk lines on the pavement are slightly faded).

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
If a new team of minor superheroes shows up now in a comic book, are you more surprised if they are mostly killed off or are you more surprised if none (heck, if only one) of them die?
Depends. If they're on the cover, and it's been solicited for months with the current cast, surprised if everyone dies. Otherwise, if everyone lives is the more unexpected route.
My answer? Yes.
Because comics are frivolous and meaningless if nobody dies these days, especially if they're marginal superheroes…
"We're a fresh, young squad of go-getters with nothing to lose!"
I think I can usually tell by context. Small publisher making an on-going: probably going to mostly survive. Marvel or DC? They're trying to prove a point.
I don't necessarily expect life or death, so much as the situation being a temporary one vs. a long-term one.
I'm surprised if none of them dies in a few issues. It is a natural thing that a team of untrained teenage super-heroes, specially if they don't have the supervision of an experienced adult, makes lots of mistakes which end up getting one or more killed.
But, of course, the teenage deaths almost always have nothing to do with their lack of training and all to do with writers wanting to do things for shock value.
Other than Titans East, what other teams has this happened to recently? My first thought was that it's a lame, overused plot device by a lot of writers, but now that I think about it I can't think of it happening that much lately.
Thematically, DC and Marvel only have on theme these days:
"Being a superhero is not fun and a good time, it's hard, complicated, and ridiculously dangerous. If you don't have the right stuff, you're f***ed"
It makes me sad.
Yeah, being a super hero sucks… Its dangerous and shouldn't be done by anyone… So wtf???? Why are they letting freaking kids go fight super villains… Batman may see himself waging a war on crime… But does Superman see himself in a war so that he has to recruit teenagers?
The whole problem with applying realistic consequences to patently unreal situations is that your have to apply realistic ethics as well…
And quite frankly, such subtle nuances haven't been appearing in these comics at all!
[blockquote]Other than Titans East, what other teams has this happened to recently? My first thought was that it's a lame, overused plot device by a lot of writers, but now that I think about it I can't think of it happening that much lately.[/blockquote]
Not really all that recent, but it happened at the Seven Soldiers of Victory opening one-shot. And previously in Starman with a erstwhile Justice League. And more recently, of course, with the New Warriors as the triggering event for Civil War. And with Alpha Flight before that. And quite a few years ago with the Suicide Squad team from the Doom Patrol/Suicide Squad one-shot. And with Force of July during Janus Directive. And with the first Malibu Exiles team, as well as with the original Doom Patrol. I believe these last two examples are what created the trend.
but, the first Doom Patrol wasn't "inexperienced" when they died, were they? they had had quite a few adventures when they died, and when they did, it was because they chose to, not because of inexperience.
And, of course X-Force/X-Statix. It also featured a first issue massacre… That kind of set the tone for the whole series…
I think the trend represents the fact that writers don't believe the characters matter at all… That they're disposable… Kind of disturbing…. But with X-Statix, that was the point.
Also, Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters in 'Infinite Crisis' (not a new team, but definitely an obscure one.) And, of course, Supes Prime's massacre of every C-list Titan except for the ones who lived long enough to get massacred in Titans East, and his other massacre of a whole bunch of Green Lanterns, both also in 'Infinite Crisis'.
Oh, and the death of the New Gods.
For my money, yes, I'm pretty thoroughly jaded by the "death, death, death, death, sausage, bacon and death" trend, and wish these guys would find something else to do.
If the writer seems to be intent on separating the cast into star characters and redshirts, it isn't all that surprising to see the redshirts get taken down.
In a properly written book, there should be no "redshirts" at all. The one thing that really surprises me these days is someone taking the trouble to take a minor character and building him or her up into something bigger.
This also dates back to the all-new all-different X-Men, and happended again Marvel's Exiles and the X-Treme X-Men. I'd say it's more surprising to survive.
I'm surprised if a team of minor superheroes shows up and survives the issue. As much as it pains me to realize that's actually the case these days.
Have a good day.
John Cage
The first issue of the Order had many of the lead characters fired.
It's more surprising if they survive, yeah. Which is too bad because I think I remember a time when comics really weren't quite that morbid, lol. I think comics, in more recent years, have been trying to show that the major teams, the ones people buy every month, are really a step above your ordinary superheroes and what better way to do that then to have the "ordinary" costumed folks get maimed or killed? Sigh.
I was shocked that the Excelsior folks (Turbo, Darkhawk, Katie Power, Ricochet) not only survived their appearance in Runaways, but got their own spin-off mini.
Which, come to think of it, I didn't read… did they survive that one, too?
It was Julie, not Katie in Excelsior. Vaughn really treated them surprisingly well. I mean, Darkhawk took down ULTRON.

The last issue of Loners comes out next week, but so far, yes, they have all survived and the series has become a fan favorite, thanks to well written stories fleshing out b and c-grade characters. Marvel has already said they plan on continuing their story in the future. I have to give the nod to Marvel on giving those characters a new lease on life and realizing they had potential, rather than take the current DC approach of "Oooohh, who cares about developing new/forgotten characters, what we have here is some more cannon fodder…"
Was Loners always meant to be a mini or did it get downgraded?

"Was Loners always meant to be a mini or did it get downgraded?"
To the best of my knowledge, it was always planned as a mini. Unlike Omega Flight, which DID get downgraded. However, even Quesada has admitted to being pleasantly surprised at how well received Loners has been. CB Cebulski has written a new Loners story for Marvel's upcoming Holiday Special and is lobbying for a second series (mini or regular).

I wonder if that has anything to do with licensing – we'll make you like the characters we want you to like by giving you no choice.
I mean no one but a comic fan has love for the JLI, so their no good for toys/bed sheets, so why keep them around?
…except that makes no sense from an R&D perspective (which is what comic companies are these days). You create more, or try to bring to prominence the old, rather than sweeping away everything that's not A-list.
Don't forget the superhero team in the first issue of Hitman, which Tommy Monaghan extinguished in about half a panel. Their battle cry, before being usmamrily executed, was "let's make a difference!"
It's Garth Ennis's world. We only live in it.
Golden Lad (or whatever his name was) died in the first issue of The Initiative to show how dangerously undertrained some superpeople are. You could tell in advance that his time was up because they spent half the issue showing how powerful he was and what a great superhero he'd be some day.
Force Works had a first issue death, X-Men 2099 killed off a character quite early, complete with cover announcement, The new New Warriors just lost one of their members, etc.
Really, it's been an industry cliché at least since Grant Morrison penned Doom Force, where the declaration of character death was written on a giant arrow pointing at the blatantly useless one.
Interesting that Power Boy's fate involved his costume's chest hole, though. I'm not sure if that's irreverent or tasteless.
It was MVP who died in "the Initative". Just pointing that out.
Force Works had a first issue death, X-Men 2099 killed off a character quite early, complete with cover announcement, The new New Warriors just lost one of their members, etc.
Force Works was bizzarre in that he didn't come back right away, when it felt like that's what they were setting it up for.
However, I'll give X-men 2099 a free pass – they were all new characters, and although it was a bit of a 'Women In Refrigerators' moment, it did help show that it was a dangerous world etc etc, and also, up until then, that characters only point had been to introduce the main character to different aspects of their world, so once he was on the team, there was no need for her.
Ok, ok, I was young and really enjoyed it.
I leave and people start talking about Excelsior/Loners! I love that band of misfit heroes! Anyway, I've got nothing to add, as all the proper information has already been given out regarding the past (=always planned to be a mini) and future (=Marvel Holiday Special+pitched second [mini?]series) of The Loners. I only hope it involves more of Penance (from Generation X!)
I want to say that 52 had a "Justice League", primarily made of C-Listers. A good portion of the characters died, and the ones who didn't got chewed out by the "real" Justice League in one of the most obnoxious scenes in the series.

I have been using NextGen for quite a while and it is an awesome plugin. However, for the past few weeks I noticed that whenever I have an gallery that has more than 16pics (the max I set for per page), the last thumbnail of the first page always seems to get bumped onto the next page:
I have double checked the dimension for the thumbnails, and as far as I know they are all 75x75.
Anyone know how to solve this?
