when I activitate my WP Better Security Plugin, it conflicts with my Google Fonts and the theme (Blue Diamond from ThemeForest). The fonts get 'standardized', so the beautiful fonts disappear. I've asked the theme builder why it does not work, his advice was to ask the builders of the plugin what the problem is.
The settings/tabs of WP BSP are very extensive, I have no clue which setting to edit to make sure it secures my site and to make the fonts work. Please help me.

Futuristic Clothing May Be Medical Lifesaver
High-tech clothing may one day monitor your health and deliver medicine through the skin.
By Denise Mann
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario
Most of us can relate to clothing that can make you look sexy or how "skinny" jeans can make you feel slim, but in the future clothing may do a whole lot more. It may even save our lives.
But the days when you will visit your doctor for "prescription" jeans may still be pretty far off, experts tell WebMD.
Based on the same technology used for nicotine and oral contraceptive patches, the medicine in the clothing will be absorbed directly through the skin. Such medicated clothing can be hand-washed repeatedly without affecting its technology.
Besides clothing that slowly releases medicine, other smart garments will monitor vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure via computerized chips and or electrodes. This may allow some chronically ill or elderly people to live independently at home for longer periods of time.
"This is an outgrowth of the fact that some of the patches being used today are so effective and as a result, I think people are accepting the idea that the skin is a really a good way to deliver some drugs," says Stephen Webster, MD, a staff dermatologist at Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wis. Webster is also a clinical associate professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

I stayed overnight on a business trip. The breakfast was really good, selection was very big, but it could be better with hot oatmeal, not cold. The cheese selection was also a bit limited to the more popular cheeses, not too much swiss cheese. Rooms were nice, complimentary sweets ( i prefer fruits though) and there was no complimentary water....
Anyway, its also nice because the location is near a mall, you just have to cross a street. i just didnt like the handling of my golf bag, they bellboy left it leaning on the room table. Its a good thing the shaft didnt break.

There may be a lot of controversy surrounding President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla home, but mermaids found in the so-called firepool can be excluded.
Were two mermaids killed in the controversial "firepool" of President Jacob Zuma's home in Nkandla and taken to a research facility in Durban?
A picture posted on the EFF Supporter website - sourced from Nigerian website Gist Us - at the weekend shows two female figures, lying head to snake-like tails on a display table. The face of the "mermaid" turned to the camera seems to be contorted in rigor mortis; her mouth agape and eyes frozen half open.
As if the president does not have enough headaches at the moment, the headline hurls another allegation: "President Jacob Zuma Accused Of Witchcraft!"
The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, is even quoted as saying that Zuma is "using the mermaids to prevent him from losing his place in leadership". To this a reader wrote in the comment section: "Why Julius Malema he is so against President Jacob Zuma? He is jealous or what? If he want to be a president why he should do something like this? Tjo I think he should mind his own business."
But Zuma can cross this attack from his list: These mermaids were actually props in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides that was released in 2011. They are on display in the Jack Pierce Memorial Museum of the Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles that opened last year. Since then the pictures have been circulating the globe as proof of mermaids' existence in Pakistan and India, among many others.
Watch the intricate sculpting of the mermaid props on YouTube.

Perennial NH primary candidate Vermin Supreme hoping to raise $100K for his next run

This is Vermin Supreme, and this is how he campaigns for president. Of the United States. Of America.

Is it heartbreaking and sad to see Rihanna and Chris Brown together? Of course it is. It's an awkward and confusing position to be in as fans of Rihanna and spectators in the life she reveals to the general public, but placing blame on her simply isn't helpful.
What's more controversial than a hip-hop star beating his pop-star girlfriend so badly she can't sing at their Grammy gig that night? SVU portraying a barely-fictionalized version of their relationship, which ends with the guy killing the girl.
Here are my (very girly) song crushes for February and why I love them.
If you're looking for an unconventional night out over Valentine's weekend Los.Angeles theatre doesn't get more hilarious, or warped, than the Xanadu-inspired drag-musical romantic adventure, Connie Loves Juice
"The thing women have yet to understand is nobody gives you power. You just take it," said Roseanne Barr as she climbed the heights in Hollywood, taking power, and not apologizing.
As someone who's had the pleasure of working on the show for more than a decade now, I know a very important part of that story came down on the big shoulders of GRAMMY telecast host LL Cool J.
Just because certain individuals have more people watching them, does this mean they should have a different set of rules?
Now that 2012 is over, it's always interesting to look back and see what our favorite Hollywood couples have been doing in the romance department and make some predictions of what will happen in the year to come.
With the talk of a fiscal cliff behind us, let's take a look at the budgets from some of our favorite videos from the year. Sometimes creativity doesn't come cheap! Which music videos were the biggest productions?
We were in the midst of dinner when Michael mentioned that among the very few material possessions he'd been able to grab before a wall of flames drove him and Martha out of their house was the documentary footage he'd shot 35 years ago of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 Japanese tour.
In general, Middle East leaders are increasingly utilizing Twitter to engage people, according to a study called Twiplomacy conducted by the global public relations consultancy Burson-Marsteller in August of this year.
Well, since the world never ended and we're all still here, it's about time we started thinking about how to bring in the New Year. Some of you have had an elaborately planned night out on the books for months now, some of you are pulling the last minute scramble to rally your friends and find something relatively cost-effective (and far, far away from Times Square), and some of you are planning on completely winging it that night. Regardless of how far along our plans are, we will all end up doing the same things -- drinking, dancing, and listening to music as the world celebrates its only universal holiday.
This year was rife with some great and relatively diverse popular music, and it's time we give some artistic cred not just to the capital-A Artistes who care not for the embrace of the masses but to the hit makers who have probably shaped the future of wedding receptions for decades to come.
In the 1930s, chic French director Jean-Luc Godard declared, "All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl." Half a century later, a quick Internet search will turn up thousands of images that fetishize girls with guns.
The behavior of a woman who appears on the public stage can be counted on to provoke a contentious referendum on the state of women in general. Is this good for women?
This problem isn't just about Rihanna, and you don't have to like her or follow her music to care about supporting women's choices. The problem is that we refuse to treat women as adults capable of making their own decisions and mistakes.

I am looking for a way to selectively hide or disable the settings for blog administrators on by WordPress Multisite Network.
I don't want to disable whole pages of settings however so I can't simply modify the administrator role to not include those...
I have thought of a few ideas but with much of this aspect of Core not being pluggable I am out of ideas, please help!
- Use
ob_start()to parse the output and regex the fields into oblivion however that is a brutal and easily broken hack and there aren't and hooks at the top and bottom of the settings pages.
- Use CSS to hide the GUI and filters on
update_option()but this isn't really possible because there are no classes or IDs on any of the fields.
- Use to select input[name=xxx] but that isn't supported on all browsers and I wouldn't be able prevent editing unless I hid the field which would make it
- Use JS to find the input[name=xxx] and navigate backup the DOM to the parent list item, this would work but I am not happy with the JS requirement.
Any help would be great, it will make its way into a new plugin at some point if anyone has an idea although right now I am sersiously considering speaking with core devs about adding this feature because it seems obvious you might want default settings in Site Admin which are either defaults or locked settings which hide from the blog admins.

The Middle Kingdom (mid-Dynasty 11–Dynasty 13, ca. 2030–1640 B.C.) began when Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II reunited Upper and Lower Egypt, setting the stage for a second great flowering of Egyptian culture. Thebes came into prominence for the first time, serving as capital and artistic center during Dynasty 11. The outstanding monument of this dynasty was Mentuhotep's mortuary complex, loosely modeled on the funerary monuments of his Theban ancestors. Built on a grand scale against the spectacular sheer cliffs of western Thebes, Mentuhotep's complex centered on a terraced temple with pillared porticoes. The masterful design, representing a perfect union of architecture and landscape unique for its time, included painted reliefs of ceremonial scenes and hieroglyphic texts. Carved in a distinctive Theban style also seen in the tombs of Mentuhotep's officials, these now-fragmentary reliefs are among the finest ever produced in Egypt.
At the end of Dynasty 11, the throne passed to a new family with the accession of Amenemhat I, who moved the capital north to Itj-tawy, near modern Lisht. Strongly influenced by the statuary and reliefs from nearby Old Kingdom monuments in the Memphite region, the artists of Dynasty 12 created a new aesthetic style. The distinctive works of this period are a series of royal statues that reflect a subtle change in the Egyptian concept of kingship.

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) - Port officials say Alabama must upgrade its port facilities to take advantage of the expansion of the Panama Canal.
The Alabama State Port Authority has launched a $360 million improvement program in Mobile that will prepare it for the larger seagoing vessels that will be using the canal.
Hal Greer, director of the Florence-Lauderdale Port Authority, says the state must become serious about investing in inland waterways.
Greer says business could be increased significantly if the port had a crane with greater reach and indoor warehouse storage.
Cline Jones, executive director of the Tennessee River Valley Association, says that ideally, the new state Inland Waterways office would provide grants to public ports to prepare for increased river traffic.

Eagles outscore Smoky 36-0 in second half for 43-17 win
Published: Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 16, 2009 at 10:50 p.m.
SYLVA -- After climbing out of their first-half funk Friday night at Smoky Mountain, the East Henderson Eagles climbed on the big strong back of Tyler Arrowood and the strong legs of Shack Davis as they sailed to a 43-17 win.
East (3-5, 2-2 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference) got whistled for 15 penalties for 113 yards in the first half and trailed 17-7 at halftime. The Eagles came out in the second half looking like a different team, and they were, scoring 36 unanswered points.
"Our guys showed very good character, to come out and score that many points after having a bad first half," East coach Brett Chappell said.
On the third snap in the third quarter, Davis, who finished with 19 carries for 205 yards, busted through the line and through at least three Smoky players on his way to a 56-yard touchdown run that cut the lead to 17-14.
Following a 1-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Maybin and a safety after a bad snap on a punt, Arrowood had a big run.
With several defenders draped over him, he kept his legs churning for a 45-yard touchdown to put the game away at 30-17.
Maybin added another 1-yard plunge, and the final East touchdown was on a 19-yard run by Jeffrey Anders.
East's first half was disastrous, as the Eagles committed six false start penalties for a total of 30 yards. They ended the first half with 15 penalties for 113 yards.
"It was just absurd to get that many penalties on us. But I was proud the way the guys fought back. It was a gut check," Chappell said.
Davis put East on the board first on what looked like a busted play. He was heading toward the left on a sweep, and when he saw nothing there, he reversed to the open right side of the field. He sprinted untouched for a 13-yard touchdown.
The Mustangs answered with a 13-play drive that included two big fourth-down conversions. One was on fourth-and-6 from the Eagle 47. Smoky Mountain lined up to punt, but faked it, with Jesse Blanton running 19 yards for a first down.
Five plays later, the Mustangs faced fourth-and-4, and Londo hit Mau for a 15-yard strike. Three plays later, Meadows bulled his way in from the 1 to tie the score.

Coming off of The Innkeepers and The House of the Devil, you'd probably expect Ti West's The Sacrament to be another horror movie. It's not. Oh, there's plenty of horrifying things in it, but it's not a horror movie in the same vein as his other works.
The Sacrament stars AJ Bowen and Joe Swanberg as two reporters for Vice (yes, the real media company) who travel to an isolated commune to document what's happened to the sister (Amy Seimetz) of their friend (Kentucker Audley). Once there, they find that she and many, many others like her have become enraptured with the teachings of a mysterious figure known only as Father (Gene Jones).
You may suspect what territory it goes into next, and that's because West's film is directly inspired by the infamous Jonestown Massacre. This isn't just some cheap re-creation of the event, though. The Sacrament is a dense, superbly acted, deeply upsetting look at how seemingly ordinary people could so plausibly find themselves living in a cult, and how one figure can command so much power over the people who follow his every word.
We spoke to Ti West and AJ Bowen last September at the film's U.S. premiere at Fantastic Fest, and now that The Sacrament is available on VOD everywhere, we're able to share our chat where both explain what inspired them to make such a complex, ambitious film.
Movies.com: Had you always planned on using a real media company like Vice as your main characters for this story?
Ti West: It didn't have to be Vice, but it was always my goal to do that. Thankfully it worked out, because it's not really a found-footage movie, it's more of a documentary and using them and their sort of travelogue documentary model let us make this using a certain esthetic that's different from other found-footage movies that try do something like "Oh, this tape was found in a bunch of dirt and edited together by a stranger." This let us make the movie as if it were shot and edited by people who do that for a living, which brought a level of video journalism to the movie, which brought another level of realism that was the reason behind it all.
Movies.com: What's the process like for you to be playing a character who is himself putting on another, on-screen character for the movie he's making? How do you control those layers?
AJ Bowen: The way that we worked together was to basically plot it out. You have your game plan, and for us we had three transitions that were important to show. There's this guy who has an on-camera persona, and we wanted to see that soften when he's talking to people. So one's a frontman, a host, basically. The other is an interviewer who is gregarious with people. And the other one is when all of that falls away, so it's acting in reverse order. There's a heightened awareness of the camera for when he's on, and then we get into the movie stuff where it's just Sam losing that awareness of camera and no longer looking at it. It took a little bit of adjustment because you're so used to only giving one kind of a performance, but I had Ti there to say, "Okay, this one is a little bit more like…"
Movies.com: Does this format open you up to try things you couldn't do in a more traditional, blocked-off style?
West: Sort of. It would have been a very different movie if I'd made it about the people making the documentary and you never saw it from their perspective.
Movies.com: Did you ever think about doing that?
West: I don't think we could have afforded to do that. That would have opened a tremendous can of worms, though maybe I would have liked to do that since this kind of stemmed from me wishing I could do an eight-part Jonestown miniseries on HBO or something like that with Leonardo DiCaprio, just this ridiculous project that could never happen. But also video journalism is how we'd hear about something like this today, so it made sense for this movie.
In Jonestown, what set it off was people from NBC being there, and they were filming the night before it happened, and they were filming it as they were being shot at and ultimately when the camera man was killed. So there is essentially this found-footage element of the real event, and that's really insightful to how most people learned about what happened in Guyana. There's a very heavy media element to the real story that it only made more sense to do it this way. It added an extra layer of realism you could take with you when you left.
Movies.com: One of the most interesting things about the movie is how you deromanticize the idea of cults and mass suicide. You show that it's more complicated than this stereotypical image of a flock of people staring at a guy standing on a pedestal, drinking something, and then calmly falling over in cinematic unison, and that's not what happens.
West: That's exactly the reason why I made the movie. I think that's what people think of when they think of "drinking the Kool-Aid." They think of Jonestown and just picture mindless zombies killing themselves, and that's bulls**t. It's not fair, and it's far more dense than that. What I wanted to show was this three-dimensional aspect of the cult. It's like a line AJ has in the movie where he says, "I can see why I don't want to live here, but I can understand why they do." My whole thing is when you watch the movie, and see people talking about why they're there, and you hear Father's speech you can think, "I don't disagree with anything he's said. I don't want to live there, but it makes sense that some people would be here." That's what makes it so tragic.
Also, in Jonestown, not everyone quietly drank the Kool-aid. It was more of a mass murder than it was a mass suicide, and I think that's something people don't talk about.
Bowen: The most impactful shot of the movie, for me – and there are a lot in that third act – is when you see a character walking through the aftermath… you can feel it seize up the entire audience. It even gets me. I was like, "whoa, whoa, whoa" and I was there. It does deglamorize it. Something I didn't anticipate was people questioning if that was in poor taste. I guess you can debate if it's too soon, but what that really means is it made them feel something and think about something that's uncomfortable, and I'm fine with that. It's handled with care, and the reason anyone would feel that way is because they felt something about the scenario they haven't before.
West: If the movie was exploitive, it would be the romanticized version you were talking about. It'd be heightening it in a way to make it appealing to people. The way we did it was to be confronting. All the violence in the movie should be unpleasant. What happens in the movie should be tragic and upsetting. It's not a movie for applause breaks. You don't walk out going, "Oh, that was so cool." That's not what we were going for and that'd be a terrible reaction to have. We were trying really hard to present it in a very confronting way so we could show this is real horror.
Movies.com: What was the genesis of this project and when did Eli Roth get involved?
West: I was at his birthday and we were just talking. He was telling me about Hemlock Grove and I was thinking about maybe doing an episode of that if I wanted to get into TV, and he said "We're going to try to do another movie, do you have any ideas?" and I was like, "Well, actually, I do have one thing. I don't know if it's your thing, though it's in the Last Exorcism ballpark."
I pitched it to him and showed him some Vice things and he was like, "Whoa, we can get this thing going right away." And I don't know that I totally believed him, but the next thing I know we're on the phone with WorldView who is like "We're ready to do this movie." And that was in May and I was on the ground in George to start shooting in September, so it did come together very quickly.
I'd always wanted to do something about Jonestown, and the reality was that maybe some day I'd get a chance but it would take a long time and I don't want to wait until I'm 60 to do that, so I thought let's do my version of these types of movies.
Movies.com: Where did you guys film? Did you build it all or did you find a summer camp to take over?
West: Savannah, Georgia, and we built everything. It's literally someone's backyard in Georgia, and we just built everything in it.
Bowen: It was amazing to see. We were trying to wait to see the whole camp until the characters did on camera, but eventually we had to go out and figure out some things, and getting out there and seeing that world was stunning. It was such an added benefit of getting to see the totality of what Ti was doing. We flew over it many times in a helicopter with the doors off, and seeing all that stuff was nuts. It was nuts! I can't detach from that.
West: One of the weirdest things is that when you finish a movie, you generally strike a set and it goes away. This one was really surreal because we built all this, we got 200 extras to basically live there, and now it's all in dumpster. They wanted to keep a lot of the houses and structures, but couldn't because they'd have to pay taxes on them.
Bowen: They were functional. They weren't faked out. There were beds and power and everything. It was a big undertaking.
The Sacrament is now available on VOD on Amazon, iTunes, cable and other providers. It will be in select theaters starting June 6, 2014.

Hello, I'm the developer of this app. If you have need help, you can contact me at r/snooapp on reddit. I'd just like to say that many of the negative reviews you see below are caused by general confusion over Windows 8, and not problems in my app. For instance, the issue the guy below has isn't really an issue at all, the back button is simply in the app bar. This app makes heavy use of Windows 8's app bar and cross slide gestures. If you don't know what those are, contact me for help. :)More

Let's see, I installed it. Clicked on a couple of stories - and in both cases it basically told me that the link cannot open in Snoo and I had to launch a browser. I would want to up vote a story from the main page as I do a lot of times, but Snoo doesn't let me. Agreed that I only looked at it for 5 minutes, but those 5 minutes didn't change my mind about giving up using reddit in chrome with RES.More

Still better in a browser
This is the first decent, usable Reddit app I've found on here. However, as other people have mentioned, the comment threads are badly laid out. I shouldn't have to click on comments to see replies. Upvoting a comment causes it to return to the top of the thread. It takes more clicks than it should to vote on posts on the front page without actually viewing them. This app is a start in the right direction, but I'll still be using RES in my browser for now.More

A Novelty Gift
Hip flasks can be collector items (antique hip flasks), or the classic sterling silver flask used to hold drinks. The most popular hip flask is the standard stainless steel one, though various types of hip flasks are currently available in the market. Other common types of hip flasks in the market include leather, traditional pewter, stainless, sterling silver and leather pewter. Personalising hip flasks come in various shapes and sizes, you can even go one further and go for an engraved hip flask.
Engraving hip flask
An engraved hip flask is a common gift for birthdays, wedding or any other memorable event. A sizable number of engravings are permanent. These engravings can be graphics, a picture, a simple logo, pattern or a text message.
Engraving Text
A sizable amount of text can often be engraved on a hip flask. However, its advisable to keep the text short and simple for good resolution. A large amount of engraved characters can result in minute text font that can render them quite illegible. Always ensure that the engravings appear neat and the space between the characters is right. The shape, type and style of the text would determine the cost of your hip flasks. Usually, 6 oz is taken as the standard size for anchoring your favorite tipple and can further readily fit inside your pocket. However, you can choose from as small as 2 oz hip flask up to a maximum of 64 oz size hip flask.
Engraving Patterns
Patterns can be hammered, handmade or laser printed. Select a size and shape that best suits you and that is within your budget. Several flasks have a small funnel to help pour the tipple easily. Always ensure that the end product of your hip flasks engraving looks elegant and beautiful.
Irrespective of the style and kind chosen for hip flasks, engraved hip flasks are ideally memorable and nice gift that your soul mates will cherish for the rest of their lives. Therefore, you should put your best foot forward when engraving hip flasks gifts.

Recent research challenges an earlier generation's expectations that the world is becoming increasingly secular. On the contrary, religion not only endures but thrives at the very heart of modern and modernizing societies. At the same time, secular modes of reasoning and development inform daily life everywhere.
Contending Modernities is a multi-year, interdisciplinary research and education initiative, co-directed by Scott Appleby and Ebrahim Moosa, in partnership with secular and religious institutions and individuals from around the world. The project seeks to generate new knowledge and greater understanding of the ways in which religious and secular forces interact in the modern world and to advance collaboration for the common good.
Contending Modernities aspires eventually to engage all the major world religions, but it begins with Islam and Roman Catholicism. In addition to their sheer scope and size — encompassing the globe and claiming some 40 percent of the world's population — these global religions antedated, helped constitute, and have been shaped by the developments associated with modernity.
Contending Modernities examines how these two traditions have understood, accommodated, altered, and resisted the radical transformations that have characterized the modern world.

Thursday's letters: Aiding the poor
Published: Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at 2:10 p.m.
To the editor: Philip Bentleys Jan. 23 letter offers a method by which the poor can be lifted up and judges conservatives as being immoral for a callous attitude toward them. While recognizing that charity cannot feed and house all the poor, he suggests a living wage as the most effective anti-poverty program. The moral imperative underlying help to the poor, he reminds us, emanates from Scripture.
There are three problems with this analysis. Firstly, a living wage often amounts to just another form of charity. Secondly, pointing out that some of the poor bear some portion of responsibility for their own situation is hardly a callous attitude its is a matter of recognizing reality.
Thirdly, and perhaps most fundamentally important, is the attitude that the individual and society have an obligation to lift up the poor. Helping a disadvantaged person can be a constructive and uplifting experience if properly applied. Using public policy to transfer wealth (i.e. using the force of law) from producers to the less fortunate is unjust to both. It robs the recipient of both the incentive to improve his own life and the satisfaction of having done by his own effort. The unjustness to the producer is obvious.
Fred Hoffstadt
Search and destroy
To the editor: The politics of personal destruction is tearing our country apart. The documentary 2016: Obamas America predicted a lot of what is happening today and why. Dinesh DSouza was recently indicted for some chink in his armor. The movie was thought-provoking yet seen as threatening by those who dont enjoy having their thoughts provoked.
The military calls this search and destroy with regard to the enemy. My brother was killed in such a mission during World War II. Now its done by name-calling and innuendo.
Im a nonaffiliated voting conservative with some liberal views. In my opinion, Congress has failed miserably to exercise its duty to advise and consent. It virtually handed the administrative branch a pen and its one-third of the three powers.
I write in memory of voices silenced for free speech.
Eileen Sheehan
Our military
To The editor: The military has always been a great leveler for young men who go into the military. We have always had recruits from all walks of life doctors, bakers and candlestick makers.
The transformation into being a soldier began during processing. In the old days during processing, the first thing that happened was you were marched to the barbershop and the hair came off. It was part of the psychological mindset you were going through you couldnt be a defiant individual anymore. You were part of a team, and your own wants and desires were subjugated to the military mission.
Second, uniforms, and the drills and marching, subconsciously made you part of a team. In the Army, for example, you were further divided by skill and mission. You learned that each branch had a rich history and tradition that you were expected to uphold. Languages other than English were not allowed.
When Barack Obama puts religion, or a persons own wants, ahead of the militarys mission, then Obama has destroyed the cohesiveness of the military. Obama is destroying our military effectiveness. This explains why Obama is purging the military of experienced officers and NCOs.
E.L. Ingle

TV advertising
To the editor: Regarding commercials on TV, I think much too much time is spent on advertising. Example: the Jan. 19 World News half-hour program. First commercial: four minutes; second commercial: five minutes; third commercial: four minutes. After all this, do you wonder why as many products cost so much?
Jan. 19 Funniest Videos one-hour program: First commercial: three minutes; second commercial: two minutes; third commercial: 3.5 minutes; fourth commercial: 4.5 minutes; fifth commercial: two minutes.
What would it cost us all for free TV? Or is there possibly any other solution?

Have your pick of apples in All-American desserts
Published: Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 10:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 10:33 a.m.
The mills are churning out the cider and the crisp, juicy sweet-tart pommes are bulging out of their bushel baskets; looks like everything's in apple-pie order for autumn.
Apple facts
Apples are Michigan's largest and most valuable fruit crop, with a value of about $100 million annually to the apple grower.
There are more than 7.5 million apple trees in commercial production, covering 37,000 acres, on 950 family-run farms throughout Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
On average, Michigan harvests about 20 million bushels (840 million pounds) of apples per year. The 2010 crop is estimated at 15.5 million bushels, down 20 percent to 25 percent due to some frosty spring nights.
Michigan plays a vital role in processed apples. About 60 percent of all Michigan Apples are processed into another product. Michigan is the largest supplier of apple slices used in commercially prepared apple pies. Michigan Apples are also a main source for applesauce, fresh-cut slices, and fresh and shelf-stable apple cider.
Longtime favorite varieties still dominate Michigan's orchards. The most prevalent variety remains the Red Delicious, followed closely by the Golden Delicious. The Gala is rapidly gaining on tradition, however, and the Michigan Honeycrisp continues to grow in popularity.
1 pound of apples = 2 large, 3 medium or 4-5 small apples.
1 pound of apples = 3 cups peeled, sliced apples.
An average apple contains 80 calories, 18 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of fiber.
Source: Michigan Apple Growers
We're in the middle of apple season, a time-honored fall tradition, and since Michigan is the nation's third-largest apple producer, it's an occasion worthy of celebration, so why not make a pie?
Apples are one of the most versatile culinary ingredients, whether you use them for cooking, baking, making chutney or simply eating out of hand.
From Cortland to Winesap, there are about 16 varieties of Michigan apples and whether you pick your own or purchase them at a local market, there's a Michigan apple to fill your desire.
For example, the crisp and snappy Fuji and Gala along with the succulent Ginger Gold are ideal for eating out of hand. The golden delicious is fabulous for applesauce and the Honeycrisp can really jazz up a salad. But for baking, especially in pies and crisps, choose the Cortland, Cameo, Granny Smith, McIntosh, Ida Red or Northern Spy.
I've always been an apple pie fan, but I also like to vary this all-American dessert and it's so easy.
Today we're cutting a few corners, at least where the pastry's concerned. Thanks to convenience products such as pre-made pie crusts, we can whip up a pie in half the time. The only substitution that is not acceptable in my book is that you must use fresh apples, not the canned pie fillings full of additives.
Still, there are so many versions of apple pie whether you choose a double crust, a lattice-topped, a streusel-topped, open-faced or deep dish, apple pie has earned the distinction of being all-American and that means diversity.
For instance, the practice of placing a slice of cheddar cheese atop a wedge of pie always seemed a little odd to me — until I actually tried it — now I can think of nothing more delicious. The idea of combining cheese, fruit and nuts dates back to ancient times, when they were often served at the end of a meal because they were thought to aid in digestion, so adding cheese to a piece of pie certainly seemed like the obvious choice.
These days there are recipes from the iconic to the inspired using cream cheese, turning the pie upside down so that all the juicy ingredients are on top, dressing an open-faced pie with caramel pecan sauce or adding dried fruits and liqueurs such as brandy or bourbon to the filling. You can make little pies for popping into a lunch box or create an elegant lattice-topped dessert for a dinner party.
It's a good thing that apples are naturally fat-free, saturated fat-free and cholesterol-free in addition to being a great source of fiber so you can never feel guilty about adding the extras from time to time.

One Line Summary: A real Subway Series: death on the tracks.
No Mets club had ever reached the postseason two years in a row. General manager Steve Phillips not only wanted to achieve that goal, he wanted to reach the World Series. It wouldn't be easy. All roads led through Atlanta and there were several other top National League clubs. Never one to sit still, Phillips brought in free agent Todd Zeile to play first base after John Olerud signed with his hometown Mariners. The centerpiece of this "go for it now" mantra came just before Christmas 1999, when Phillips acquired 22-game winner Mike Hampton (plus free spirit Derek Bell) for outfielder Roger Cedeno and hard-throwing rookie Octavio Dotel.
The season began at sunrise New York time, with the first-ever regular season games from Japan. Mike Hampton was wild and took the loss; Benny Agbayani, brought to the Far East only because the Mets didn't need a full compliment of pitchers for the two-game trip, hit a grand slam against the Cubs in the 11th inning of the second game to salvage Tokyo.
Back in the U.S., the Mets reeled off a nine-game April winning streak. Then they gave most of it back by immediately going 4-10. When Rickey Henderson only reached first on a ball off the wall—he assumed it was a home run—Rickey was released, Joe McEwing was recalled, and the Mets began their mix-and-match outfield parade. For a club with 16 players making at least $2 million per year, the club's three best outfielders—Melvin Mora, Jay Payton, and Agbayani—made $645,000 all told. Veteran Darryl Hamilton had toe problems and Derek Bell was, well, Derek Bell. He marched to his own drummer (presumably on the stereo system on his plush houseboat) far removed from the "Killer B" role he'd assumed in Houston.
The Mets moved the versatile Mora to shortstop after Rey Ordonez broke his arm in May. Phillips pined for a better glove to fit his championship aspirations. Mora's error on a would-be, game-ending double play ball cost the Mets a game in Boston. A couple of weeks later the Mets picked up Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick for Mora and three other young players. The verdict? Mora made seven errors in 44 games displaying slightly below average range. Bordick had seven errors in 56 games with slightly below average range, and he was hurt when the Mets most needed him. The same day Bordick was acquired, the Mets sent former first-round picks Paul Wilson and Jason Tyner to Tampa Bay.
The newcomers certainly had good starts. Bordick and Bubba Trammell hit home runs in their first at bats as Mets; Rick White earned a relief win in his debut. Timo Perez got a hit in his first Mets at bat on September 1, and he kept on hitting. The Mets experienced their annual September skid earlier than usual and Timo helped pull them out of it and capture the wild card again. On a team without much speed—they stole 84 fewer bases than in 1999—Timo was an ideal leadoff hitter. When Derek Bell was injured at Pac Bell in the Division Series opening loss, Timo took over. He started a dozen postseason games in a row, batting .294 in the Division Series and .304 in the NLCS, before slowing up—literally—in the World Series.
After All-Star Al Leiter left with a three-run lead in the ninth inning in Game 2 of the Division Series in San Francisco, Armando Benitez surrendered a three-run homer to pinch hitter J.T. Snow. The next inning, however, Payton's two-out single plated Hamilton with the go-ahead run. John Franco struck out Barry Bonds to save it.
The no-names kept coming up big. Agbayani homered into a gusty wind in the 13th inning to win Game 3. Veteran Bobby Jones, who'd gone down to the minors earlier in the season to work on his curve, clinched the series with a one-hitter at Shea.
The Cardinals handled the chore of sweeping the Braves, but the Mets did them no favors in the Championship Series. Hampton was masterful in his two starts, shutting out the Cardinals over 16 innings and fanning 12 to earn MVP. Todd Zeile's bases-clearing double literally made Shea Stadium shake in Game 5 and put the Mets on their way to their first pennant since 1986.
The Subway Series—something many New Yorkers had waited their whole lives to see—became a spectacle Mets fans needed to shield their eyes from. Benitez blew Game 1 and the Mets lost in 12. A late comeback fell short the next night, a mere sideshow to the Roger Clemens-Mike Piazza bat hurling theatrics (an encore from Clemens hitting Piazza in the head in July). The Mets managed a win at Shea, half-filled with Yankees fans, on a deciding Agbayani double in Game 3. That ended the Yankees' 14-game winning streak in the World Series.
The Yankees took the next two games, beating Al Leiter in the game of his life; Luis Sojo hit Leiter's 142nd pitch up the middle on 142 hops to snap a tie in the top of the ninth. Piazza's deep liner died in the wind and so did a piece of every Mets fan. A great season was reduced to ashes; a pennant winner became just a loser in its own city. Tough town.

Ah yes, remember the good old days and all the Nitefire bashing?????Gee, the stock has a $10 handle AGAIN and heading lower...What was I thinking the past 12 years????Lafong, Smelky Cabrera, MBuser?????Come out Come wherever you are ?????LMFAO...Nitefire !!!!!
Is VLY a buy down here?What's wrong with getting 6% while waiting for economy to improve?Sure it can go lower, but the yield will support it at $9 or higher.What am i missing?Quantitative easing will keep us awash in more dollars..good for banks.
hey sci,That might work out, but if I was buying banks then I'd buy CCNE over VLY. I own both, and I'm not adding any shares.I like MOO for the long run. For the short term I'm buying XLE and selling calls.Good luck if you're buying VLY.
My sincere hope is you get rewarded with a 9 percent dividend yield for all your astute investment acumen and patience as a VLY shareholder.....Best of luck....Although, you may not need luck as it is certain to yield you that attractive return as you wish for.I do suggest you revisit your thoughts on why QE 3 will be favorable for banks when QE 1 and 2 lined your pockets.....I would be curious on your wisdom....Do share....NF

To the Editor.—
Several classes of drugs (including thiazide diuretics,1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories,2 and the antibiotics tetracycline3 and spectinomycin4) can promote renal retention of lithium and, occasionally, can induce lithium intoxication. The antimicrobial agent metronidazole hydrochloride (Flagyl I.V.) was also implicated in producing such a reaction in one woman.5 We describe two patients who experienced toxic reactions to lithium following brief use of metronidazole. However, in these two patients, in contrast to the previous case, the degree of acute intoxication was less severe and treatment with metronidazole was completed without apparent suspicion, but persistent signs of renal damage later emerged.

CM confers Thirai Isai Chakravarthy on MSV
By Express News Service - CHENNAI
Published: 30th August 2012 07:41 AM
Last Updated: 30th August 2012 09:16 AM
Participating perhaps for the first time in an entertainment event after taking charge as Chief Minister last year, J Jayalalithaa conferred the "Thirai Isai Chakravarthy" title on ace composer M S Viswanathan here on Wednesday as part of celebrating Jaya TV's 14th anniversary.
The title was chosen by the public through voting conducted by the channel. The veteran musician was also presented a purse of 60 gold coins along with T K Ramamurthy, who together once ruled the Tamil film music industry. All top players in Kollywood, including actors Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, producer A V M Saravanan and director K Balachander, participated.
In her address, Jayalalithaa described Viswanathan as the only musician who still reigns supreme in the film music industry after composing music for over 1,000 films in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
"MSV has the ability to compose music with just three and also with over 300 instruments. Also, he is the only music director who has sung over 500 songs as well," she pointed out. Hailing them for giving innovative music to the industry by incorporating more instruments, she said their composition appealed equally to those with music knowledge and laymen.
Jayalalithaa recalled attending a function with her mother way back in 1963 when the title of Mellisai Mannargal was conferred on the musical duo. She wanted to honour them as well expressed delight at Jaya TV providing her that opportunity.
Balachander said, while the film industry forgot to celebrate Viswanathan and Ramamurthy, Jaya TV took the right decision to honour them.
Veteran singers, including T M , P B Srinivas, Susheela and Vani Jayaram, were also honoured at the event. The event also marked a live orchestra presentation of golden melodies of the composers, selected by the CM.
