Rumor is Peyton Manning is going to the Denver Broncos. They're speculating a "five-year, $90 million package."
Therefore, "Tebowmania is toast in Denver."

Not a Tebow fan. Public displays if religiosity induce snide remarks inside my head.
Actually, Tebow will have a wonderful opportunity to sit at the feat of a master, but I doubt if he has what it takes to do that.
I'm not a Tebow fan either,
I'm not a Tebow fan either, for much the same reason. I respect folks who LIVE their faith; not so much those who "pray on the street corners."

A spokesperson for Pat Robertson told the Associated Press Friday that, while Bro Pat is displeased with the 'shabby treatment' Tebow received at the hands of the Denver Broncos, he has not in fact used his hot line to ask God to smite Manning.
Of course we all know that God doesn't always follow Pat's advice. There was the time he suggested sending a hurricane onto the queers at Disney World and instead one hit the Virginia Beach headquarters of his broadcasting empire.

Top Customer Reviews
7 ate 9 is a card game of speed and calculation, similar to Spit, but significantly more excruciating - in a good way. A very good way.
Two to four players begin the game by taking the top card from the shuffled deck, placing it face-up in the center, and then distributing the rest of the deck evenly between players. Since there are 73 cards, after the first card is played on the table, the rest divide into satisfyingly even piles whether you're playing with 2, 3 or 4 players.
The cards are numbered from 1-10. In addition (or subtraction), each card also has a number, from 1-3, in the corner. That number is added or subtracted, at the player's discretion, from the main number, which determines what number card can be played next. So, if the top card is a 7 and the small number is a 2, the next card can be either a 5 (7-2) or a 9 (7+2).
The cards are also color-coded, to help direct your attention to the added (or subtracted) value - all plus-or-minus 1 cards being green, plus-or-minus 2 cards blue, plus-or-minus 3, red.
No turns are taken. Players simply draw cards from their face down pile, one at a time, if they can play a card, they announce the number and place it on top of the center pile, if not, they draw another card until they have found a playable card or someone else has. In the latter event, they must now look for a new match.Read more ›
The game is easy enough. 73 cards are numbered 1 through 10, each with a +/- 1, 2 or 3. When a card is played, you must follow the directions to play the next card. So if the first card played is a 6 +/- 3, you can play a 3 or a 9 card. The trick comes when you have a card near 10 or 1... the math is what mathematicians call "modulo (10)." Fear not, it's simpler than it sounds. What it means is, when you reach 10 (going up) or 1 (going down) you roll around to the other end of the scale. So if the last card played is a 9 +/- 2, then you can play a 7 or a 1 card.
Even my description sounds boring, or if you're not into math, possibly frightening. But 7 Ate 9 is neither boring nor frightening. All I can say is, Try It! You'll love it!
A tip: To make the game more interesting/competitive between players of different levels, make the stronger player start off with more cards. (e.g. 10, 20). That way, a parent or older sibling doesn't have to hold back to make things competitive. It's like giving a head-start.
7 ATE 9 addresses the + and - of numbers 1 to 3 in a game that gets faster as the student progresses with skill and confidence.

The stunning blonde Latinas on the box cover will help move this one.
The first scene pretty much sets the tone for the entire title. The colors look nice. The setting is attractive. The girl is a pretty, blonde, Latina. The cock slinger is attractive and endowed. The camerawork is good. But the sex? It's mediocre at best. Our first lady, Pamela, gazes off into the distance, presumably wondering when it'll all be over. The music soundtrack overwhelms virtually all sounds of the action.
It goes on from there. Some of the girls are actually quite lovely. All keep with the blonde Latina theme. Unfortunately, they mostly keep with the largely lame fucking action as well. Truly a shame.

Fiscal Discipline
Democrats and Republicans both shoulder blame for the national government's lack of fiscal discipline. According to Citizens Against Government Waste, the Republican-controlled US Congress of 2003-2007 and the Democrat-controlled legislature of 2007-2008 rang up a combined $110 Billion in pork-barrel projects, which does not include expenses for the War on Terror. The new 2009 Budget has been submitted by the President and is already in deficit by over $400 Billion— unacceptable!
Politicians from both parties know we have a massive overspending problem, but rather than fix the problem, each party blames the other while legislators from both sides of the aisle keep funding pork. There is no middle ground and no compromise—this must stop. Today, the question "Which party has been responsible?" matters far less than "Who— from either party— will fix the problem?" I will help fix the problem.
We cannot do this to our children. Or to rephrase, we can, but we SHOULD not. The bill will come due someday, and today's politicians know they will probably be long gone by then. I say stop it NOW.
We can reduce government spending in a number of ways:
- Reallocate money from the Iraq war as the war comes to an end. The war has already cost well over $500 billion (some estimates are close to one trillion dollars)— an average of well over $100 billion each year since 2003. I believe we can significantly reduce these costs within months—and we can do so in a responsible way that continues our training efforts and targets the long-term stability of the Iraqi government. (For more on my plans for Iraq , see " Iraq " under the "Issues" tab.)
- Over the past six years, Congress has spent about $110 billion on pork-barrel projects. Pork-barrel spending is a newly-formed bad habit: it exploded from less than $3 billion in 1992 to $29 billion in 2006. The 2008 budget reduced pork-barrel spending to about $17 billion, but we can still do a lot better. (Citizens Against Government Waste defines a "pork" project as "a line-item in an appropriations bill that designates tax dollars for a specific purpose in circumvention of established budgetary procedures." Most of these are local projects that certainly should not be funded by our national government.)
- Reform broken programs and channel money into important projects. For instance, this year's IRS operating budget was $11 billion. Our national tax code is so complicated that it takes a huge bureaucracy working lots of hours to determine each citizen's taxes and enforce payment. By completely overhauling and simplifying the tax code, we could channel a lot of money towards other important projects while reducing spending. For example, we might cut the IRS budget to $6 billion, spend $3 billion more on education, and cut $2 billion completely. This is just one example of how we might increase funding for important programs while cutting overall spending.
- Institute a Balanced Budget Amendment that contains a Pay-As-You-Go provision. Our government should keep spending in line with revenue except in specific extenuating circumstances. This will prevent our racking up trillions more dollars in debt. Limiting the national debt will increase the value of the dollar and improve Americans' buying power in world markets.
These are just a few of many ways our national government can reduce its expenditures.

Replacing a New Beetle With a Small SUV
Columnist Jonathan Welsh answers readers' questions about automobiles
Q: I own a '99 Volkswagen New Beetle with a manual transmission and about 96,000 miles. I'm considering keeping it for a few more years, but I'm very tired of driving a two-door car. I'm considering a smallish SUV of some type, and I want something that gets equal or better gas mileage (I get about 25 mpg in the city), is reliable and long-lasting, and will be convenient for carrying furniture, plants and gardening supplies. Also, if possible, I'd like a manual transmission again.
—Bev Carr, Chapel Hill, N.C.
A: The combination of small SUV, manual transmission and 25 mpg is a difficult one to put together, but maybe a small wagon like a Volkswagen Jetta or a wagon-ish hatchback like the Audi A3 would work. Both are available with diesel engines that could easily meet the fuel-economy requirements. If the plants and furniture you are carrying require a higher roof, then a small van like the Mazda5 might do the trick. All of these are available with stick shifts.
Q: Is tire rotation really a necessity? And if so, how frequently should this be performed?
—Scott Gordon, Erie, Pa.
A: Tire rotations can make a big difference in the longevity of tires, which can wear at different rates depending on where they are on a vehicle. Moving them around helps even this out. More cars these days come with high-performance tires that have softer, more fragile compounds, so rotation is perhaps more critical than it used to be. My rule of thumb has always been to rotate every 6,000 miles, which used to mean at every other oil change. But oil lasts so long now that the 6,000-mile mark may be the best time for the oil change and the rotation.
Q: My new 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE has 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires, and the car rides firmly. Can regular 18-inch tires be substituted and will they soften the ride?
—John Halfrey, Needham, Mass.
A: To soften the ride you'll probably need to change to a tire with a taller sidewall that should have more "give." For that to work you'll need a smaller-diameter wheel so the new wheel-tire combination will have the same circumference as the old one. In the old days getting this wrong could cause a hassle by making your speedometer and odometer inaccurate. But today's cars are often designed to more specific measurements and can really behave badly—and unsafely—with the wrong wheel and tire sizes. You can consult a good tire shop about the proposed switch, perhaps after doing a little research. Tire retailers often have online tools to help find different tires sizes that will work on your car.
Q: In the interest of saving on fuel costs, I have tried to discipline my driving by 1) accelerating more slowly; 2) anticipating future stops and/or reduced speeds by reducing power settings; 3) coasting when terrain allows, and 4) disengaging the automatic transmission when it is a drain on the residual speed. I am concerned that frequent disengagement of the automatic transmission (to allow for coasting) may cause damage in some way. Can you advise if there is this potential risk?
—H.C. (Bud) Albin, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
A: Yours is a tried-and-true method for extending fuel economy, as you get rid of the drag generated by the engine and transmission that can keep a car from coasting its maximum distance. Of course you have to weigh the fuel savings against the extra braking that may be required to check the speed of a freewheeling car, depending on how steep the hill is. But you probably knew that. By engaging and disengaging the transmission more often you are giving your shift linkage more of a workout than it would normally get, but I doubt the extra wear will be significant in the long run.

A Ranch Named Desire
Play details relationship between Tennessee Williams and lover Pancho Rodriguez
By Summer Olsson
"He was a very prolific character," says Santiago Candelaria, who plays Williams in Rancho Pancho, a play by Gregg Barrios. "Not only in his writing but just in his way of being, how he moved through what he did." The play, presented by Camino Real Productions, and running at the National Hispanic Cultural Center through Aug. 7, explores the relationship between Williams and one of his partners, Pancho Rodriguez. "He was a compulsive worker and it sort of shows up in everything he did," Candelaria says. "He worked compulsively, he drank compulsively, he smoked compulsively, he took pills compulsively, he had sex compulsively."
Book Review
Shout at the Devil
A Cajun-flavored sampling of things that go bump in the night
Review by Adam Fox
When you think about it, post-Katrina Louisiana creates the perfect setting for a horror tale. Storm-ravaged bayous and flooded levees—along with an already prevalent culture of the supernatural—certainly make the environs of the Deep South ripe for an ill-intentioned bogeyman or two. So sets the scene for local author Ania Ahlborn's first novel, Seed, which takes the hot-ticket items of demonic possession and sinister children and tosses them into a musty, kudzu-covered Southern Gothic blender.

Two artists paint women of the Southwest
By Summer Olsson
Marie Sena's and Nani Chacon's art show, Picosa, puts women in the fore: The overall theme of the show is women of the Southwest. "We're in such a unique cultural climate," Chacon says. "We felt like that was something that needed to be celebrated and pushed to the forefront of what we're doing—not just that we're going to depict beautiful women, but the beautiful women of our surroundings."

Sly Cooper sneaks onto PS3 this fall with Thieves of Time
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is headed to the Playstation 3 a little later this year, with developer Sanzaru Games targeting a release some time in the North American fall.
Sure, it's nothing specific, but it's a step closer than the elusive "2012" release window we were given at last year's E3 briefing, which also hinted that the game would feature time travel and the ability to meet your own ancestors.

Hello all,
I am using WordPress as a CMS system for a website I ma building, just useing pages, not really making much use of posts.
I however have to add a number of video players to be played throughout the website and it has to use a certain video player.
The code that i need to use is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
var FU = { movie:"../flvplayer.swf",width:"250",height:"290",majorversion:"8",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",
flashvars:"file=../xml/vid-info-ru-he001.xml&displayheight=188&repeat=true&lightcolor=0x800000&shuffle=false&logo=../video/logo.png&bufferlength=(10)&backcolor=0xFFFFFF&frontcolor=0x000000&thumbsinplaylist=true&overstretch=none&volume=75" };
However when i publish the pages, all the &'s get converted into the asci code - &
I really need to get this sorted and have tried making use of a number of plugins but none seem to work.
I should mention that these javascript scripts wont need to be changed so if anyone knows of a way i can store all the scripts in an external file and then bring them in that would be great. or any other method to get it working.
Many Thanks

of the New Jersey Devils at American Airlines Center on February 22, 2011 in Dallas, Texas.
Report: Graham James granted extended day parole
Graham James, the disgraced junior hockey coach who pleaded guilty in June of 2015 to the latest charge of sexual assault against a former player, has had his day parole extended an additional two months, according to a report from The Canadian Press.
Documents from the Parole Board of Canada show James's day parole, which was granted in January, has been extended for two months while the board schedules a hearing to consider his request for more freedom.
"You would like to be granted full parole," states the decision dated July 8. "You have rented an apartment where you plan on living on your own. There are no financial concerns. Family members have been deemed to be positive supports.
"Your (case management team) supports your release on full parole."
Former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy, who was a victim of sexual abuse from James, his coach in Swift Current at the time, has spoken out against the decision from the parole board.
"There has to be commitment and a proven commitment to change and currently there is no commitment to change by the Parole Board of Canada," he said. "To me what it all comes down to is a lack of understanding of the true impact of this crime by the parole board."
Kennedy predicts James will leave the country where he can operate under the radar. He has previously moved to Spain and Mexico. Kennedy also believes it's just a matter of time before James reoffends.
"Oh absolutely, there's no question," Kennedy said.
In February of 2013, James had his original two-year sentence increased to five years for sexually assaulting two of his former players.
James is serving seven years, following the latest charge from last year that resulted in a two-year sentence, according to Global News.
Get to know Nolan Patrick, early favorite to go first in 2017 NHL Draft
The NHL's Central Scouting staff put out a full list of 2017 NHL Draft "futures" on Saturday, supporting the notion that it's never too early to hype up the next wave of prospects.
At the moment, the top pick speculation revolves around Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings, including in NHL.com's breakdown of the biggest names among those futures.
In vague terms, his size and willingness to go to high-danger areas distinguishes Patrick. Scoring 102 points in 72 games in the WHL with the Wheat Kings doesn't hurt his cause, either.
It's only natural to seek comparables, of course, and there are plenty streaming out already.
Craig Button compares Nolan to Jonathan Toews in this introduction for TSN:
Nolan's style of play is similar to that of fellow Manitoban Jonathan Toews. He's skilled, smart and capable of playing and making a difference in all situations of the game. Like Toews, he does it without much flash, but brings significant determination and reliability every time he steps on the ice.
Meanwhile, his coach compared his style to that of Brayden Schenn, as Buzzing the Net noted in February.
There's hockey in his blood, too, as his father Steve Patrick was an NHL forward.
Maybe that explains the notable lack of fawning from his dad in this Sportsnet article.
"Nolan was a funny little player at eight. I certainly didn't look at him and think he's gonna be a special player," Steve Patrick said in May. "But he always saw the ice well and even when he was little he could pass the puck. He was a smaller kid and he sometimes played up a year, so I thought he had to be little sneakier to hold on to the puck.
"Plus, he had an older sister who could throw him in a snowbank, so he had to figure a way to keep the puck from her."
Now that is a scouting report.
Speaking of scouting reports, NHL.com and Sportsnet both discuss other players who will jockey for top draft position with Patrick.
Of course, plenty can change in the season, so Patrick must dodge hurdles as if they were siblings readying to "throw him in a snowbank."

There is a report about Islanders eyeing a new arena in Nassau, too
The New York Islanders' new owners claim that Brooklyn's Barclays Center is "our home," yet there are all kinds of rumors going around about where they may settle.
Things really heated up with talks of moving next to the New York Mets with a new arena in Queens, but apparently that's not all.
New York Newsday reports that the Islanders have met "several times" with the New York Racing Association to build a new arena in Belmont. This would mean that the Islanders would (wait for it) bring the team back to the Nassau area.
It was emphasized that such talks were in early stages and that the ownership group is "weighing multiple options, including remaining in Brooklyn."
When it came to the rumors about Queens, more than a few people believed that it may have come down to leveraging Barclays for a better situation in Brooklyn. The Isles' ownership group hasn't discussed these rumors, so it's difficult to gauge how seriously the team would consider moving again.
In the grand scheme of things, it feels far too early to get too excited or bent out of shape about these murmurs. Even if something significant happens – and there have been plenty of gripes about Barclays – it sounds like it would take some time for plans to formulate.
Coyotes' defensive makeover continues with Luke Schenn signing
While Brayden Schenn hopes to hammer out a favorable deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, his brother Luke Schenn inked a two-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday.
Arizona didn't confirm these details, but the cap hit looks to be $1.25 million, according to reporters including Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
"We are very pleased to sign Luke to a two-year contract," New Coyotes GM John Chayka said. "He's a good, young defenseman and we feel we can optimize his performance here. He will be a solid addition to our blue line."
Chayka is making some significant changes to the Coyotes' blueline, even if Oliver Ekman-Larsson is still the star of that group.
The Coyotes traded for and then signed Alex Goligoski. They possibly grabbed a falling star in the draft, too, as they selected Jacob Chychrun. Adding Schenn might not be the last move, either.
Schenn isn't necessarily an analytics darling, but a two-year, $2.5 million deal is reasonable even with some flaws. This contract seems even more reasonable when you consider the five-year, $18 million deal that just expired.

Arthur Jerard Weaver (November 18, 1873 – October 17, 1945) was a Nebraska Republican politician and the 22nd Governor of Nebraska.
Weaver was born near Falls City, Nebraska. His education was at Wyoming Seminary in Pennsylvania and he earned an undergraduate degree in 1895 and a law degree in 1896 from the University of Nebraska.[1] He was a founding member of the Beta Tau Chapter of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1894. He was married to Maude E. Hart on September 2, 1908.
After his graduation from the University of Nebraska, Weaver opened his own practice in Falls City, Nebraska. He was city attorney from 1899 to 1902 and county attorney from 1902 to 1903. In 1904 he suspended his practice to concentrate on his farming and stock-raising interests. He served on the city council and was elected mayor of Falls City in 1915.[2]
Weaver was elected to the Nebraska House of Representatives in 1899. He was a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1919 to 1920, and served as president of that body; a presidential elector for Nebraska in 1920.
Weaver ran for the office of Governor of Nebraska in 1928 and won, serving from 1929 to 1931. During his tenure, the whole country was suffering from the Wall Street stock market crash.[3] After losing reelection,[4] he returned to Falls City. He was a delegate to the 1932 Republican National Convention and chair of the Richardson County Republican Party in 1940.
Weaver died in his home in Falls City on October 17, 1945 shortly after suffering a stroke. He is interred at Steele Cemetery, Falls City, Richardson County, Nebraska USA.[5]

Texas' unprecedented heat wave and drought turned deadly yesterday when fires fanned by Tropical Storm Lee's gusty winds swept through East Texas, torching 300 homes near Austin, and killing a woman and her 18-month old daughter who couldn't escape the flames in Gladewater. At Austin Bergstrom Airport yesterday afternoon, the counter-clockwise circulation around Tropical Storm Lee brought sustained winds of 25 mph, gusting to 31. Lee didn't bring any clouds or moisture to Austin, and the afternoon high hit 102°, with a humidity of 22%. With the region enduring it's driest 1-year drought on record, yesterday's heat, dryness, and winds resulted in extremely critical fire conditions. The forecast today for Austin is marginally better--temperatures will be cooler, only reaching the upper 80s, but strong winds of 20 - 25 mph will continue to blow, and the atmosphere will be drier, with humidities in the 15 - 25% range. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has declared a "Critical" fire weather danger area for East Texas today, one level below yesterday's "Extremely Critical" conditions. You can monitor today's fire activity by using our wundermap for Austin with the fire layer turned on. The summer of 2011 now holds every major heat record for the city of Austin, including most 100° days (67 so far), hottest month in recorded history (August, breaking the previous record by a remarkable 2.1°), hottest summer (by 1.1°), and hottest day in history (112°F, tied with Sep, 5, 2000.)
Texas' unprecedented heat
For as long as people have been taking weather measurements in Texas, there has never been a summer hotter than the summer of 2011. As wunderground's weather historian Christopher C. Burt documents in his latest blog post, seventeen major cities in Texas recorded their hottest summer on record in 2011. Most of these stations had records extending back more than 100 years, and several of the records were smashed by an amazing 3.4°F--at Lubbock and at Wichita Falls. Neighboring states also experienced unprecedented heat, with Oklahoma recording America's hottest month by any state in recorded history during July, and Shreveport, Louisiana breaking its record for hottest month by 3°F in August. Mr. Burt commented to me: " I do not believe I have ever seen a site with a long period of record, like Shreveport, where records go back to 1874, break its warmest single month on record by an astonishing 3°. This is unheard of. Usually when a site breaks its single month temperature record, we are talking about tenths of a degree, rarely a whole degree, let alone 3 degrees! Hard to believe, frankly." Texas has also had its worst fire season on record, with over 3.5 million acres burned this year, and it's driest 1-year period in recorded history.
Figure 1. Observed rainfall for the seven-day period ending at 8 am EDT Monday Sep 5, 2011. Tropical Storm Lee had dumped in excess of ten inches of rain sections of Louisiana and Mississippi (pink colors). Image credit: NOAA/AHPS.
Heavy rains from Lee creating dangerous flooding situation
Tropical Storm Lee has been absorbed by a cold front, and is no longer a tropical depression. However, the remnants of Lee are bringing torrential rains to the South and Appalachians today, and pose a serious flood threat. NOAA's latest Quantitative Precipitation Forecast warns that "an excessive and life-threatening rainfall event will be unfolding today and tonight across the Tennessee Valley and also the Southern Appalachians." A wide region of 4 - 8 inches of rain is expected along the path of Lee's remnants as they slide northeastwards along the front. These rains will likely accumulate later this week to 2 - 3 inches over New England regions devastated by Hurricane Irene's floods. Also of concern is the potential for tornadoes today. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 22 tornado reports so far from Lee, and today promises to be the most serious day for tornadoes yet, with SPC predicting a "Moderate Risk" of tornadoes across the South. Lee's heaviest rain amounts, by state, as of 10 am CDT today:
Holden, LA: 15.43"
Florence, MS: 13.45"
Mobile, AL: 11.35"
Milton, FL: 10.03"
Cumberland City, TN: 5.09"
Bridge City, TX: 3.12"
Plum Springs, KY: 3.10"

Hurricane Katia
Hurricane Katia is close to major hurricane strength, and is now a high-end Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds. Latest satellite loops show a well-defined eye and good upper-level outflow on all sides, but the hurricane still has a lopsided appearance, due to the impacts of dry air and moderate wind shear on its south side.
The computer models have finally come into agreement on the long-range future of Katia, determining that the trough of low pressure that will develop over the Eastern U.S. later this week will turn the hurricane to the north well before the storm reaches the U.S. As the storm moves northwards past North Carolina, Katia will get caught up in west-to-east moving winds associated with the jet stream, and taken northeastwards out to sea. No land areas are in Katia's cone of uncertainty, though Newfoundland, Canada will need to watch future forecasts to see how close Katia may pass to the southeastern portion of that province. The main impact of Katia will be high surf leading to beach erosion and dangerous rip currents. Long period swells from Katia are arriving at the Southeast U.S. coast today, and the entire U.S. East Coast will receive an extended multi-day period of high surf.
Figure 4. Afternoon satellite image of Hurricane Katia.
95L off the coast of Africa
A large tropical wave with plenty of intense thunderstorm activity and spin is located about 500 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa. This wave, Invest 95L, is under a moderate 10 - 20 knots of wind shear, and is headed west at 15 mph. Water vapor satellite images show that 95L is embedded in a very moist environment. Ocean temperatures are near 28°C, which is 1.5°C above the 26.5°C threshold usually needed for a tropical storm to form. With wind shear predicted to drop to the low range tomorrow, I don't see anything that would keep 95L from becoming a tropical depression in two or so days. NHC is giving 95L a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Wednesday; given the storm's rather impressive organization and spin apparent on recent satellite loops, I'd put these odds at 40%. The NOGAPS model predicts 95L will develop by Saturday, a few hundred miles north of the Northern Lesser Antilles Islands, but this storm could just as easily pass directly through the Lesser Antilles on Saturday or Sunday, and develop into a tropical storm much sooner. If you plan on being in the Lesser Antilles Islands this weekend, pay attention to 95L.
New Gulf of Mexico disturbance
A cold front swept into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas behind Tropical Storm Lee early this morning. The front is expected to continue to the east and stall out Tuesday and Wednesday along a line from Louisiana to Mexico's Bay of Campeche in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Several recent runs of the ECMWF and GFS models have given support to the idea that a tropical depression would form at the tail end of this front late this week, in Mexico's Bay of Campeche. The path such a storm might take would depend strongly on where the center forms. A more northerly formation location near the top of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula would likely result in a northward motion towards the Florida Panhandle, while a more southerly formation location might lead to the storm getting trapped in a region of weak steering currents, resulting in a slow, erratic motion in the southern Gulf. NHC is currently not highlighting the Bay of Campeche in their Tropical Weather Outlook, and it will likely be Wednesday before enough heavy thunderstorms build to warrant mention.

First, a big thanks and a thousand hugs, Rachel, for creating this plugin!
But I have ended up at a problem, that I can't understand.
I have 9 different custom post types (actors, productions, theatres, dancers etc.). On single page view the CPT-onomies work like charm.
But when I create a archive-actors.php page and want to show 10 posts from actors with their attached terms, wordpress will only show terms for the first post, everything else is empty. This only occurs when i want to show more than 1 post on archive page.
I'm using get_the_term_list to output CPT-onomies's.

The Initiation of Sarah is a 1978 made for TV film that was directed by Robert Day. It first aired on ABC on February 6, 1978 and starred Kay Lenz as a shy, withdrawn young woman that discovers that she has psychic powers after joining a sorority. The film achieved some controversy upon its initial airing on television as part of the film's plot involved Morgan Fairchild wearing a wet t-shirt after being thrown into a fountain, something that had not been previously shown in a made for TV movie.

Hello, thank you for your plugin.
Having trouble with the settings: the placement is set to "above content" - which it does as expected -- but it also adds it to the side of the individual post page in a vertical format with a fixed/absolute positioning. How do I manage this element / turn this off?

I understand that this question is rather general and kind of a holy war. Could you explain to me why SWT is successful when AWT is not, while these two frameworks use the same idea of native ui controls. What makes SWT different comparing to AWT? Just few words if possible.
Thank you.

I'm not really sure, but after looking at some example sentences in Jisho.org, I came to the conclusion that in order to say, for example, "Out of all of the people that I know", you would say 「全部の知っている人たちの中で。。。」But is 「全部の知っている人たちのうちで」also correct? Also, why do we use 「で」instead of 「に」in these sentences and do we even have to put a particle after うち?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
First, 全部の人 is an obscure expression because 全部 is a counter for objects* (that said, 私が知っている人全部のうち sounds to some extent better for some reason), so I'd translate "all of the people" to 私が知っているすべての人 or 私が知っている人全員、私が知っている人すべて.
As for your question, yes, the sentence with うち is correct too and you can omit the particle で after うち.
As for the question what if you use に instead of で, well, it depends on what predicate comes after.

Unfortunate deviation.,

This review is from: Harmony (Audio CD)
I have all of Ryder's discs. Her strength is her unique husky blues voice.
Unfortunately she has taken bad advice and produced a "pop" disc.
In her new world she has moved away from her strength and sounds no better than the average
generic female "pop" singer.
After suffering through one listening, I have given the disc to my eleven year old niece.

A popular U.S. social insurance program for the elderly and disabled is called Medicare. President Harry Truman proposed a government-run system of health insurance for all Americans in 1945, but the measure died in Congress as the result of a strong lobbying campaign by the American Medical Association (AMA). Proponents of a national health insurance program then scaled back their efforts, suggesting that the government cover the medical needs of only the elderly and the poor. After the landslide reelection of President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, legislation was introduced in the overwhelmingly Democratic Congress to establish the Medicare program, for all persons over the age of 65 and for the seriously disabled, and Medicaid, for the poor. The Medicare program was signed into law by President Johnson in 1965 as an amendment to the Social Security Act of 1935. It began officially on July 1, 1966.

Executives who understand the value of a well-tuned Web strategy shouldn't be surprised at Blockbuster's Chapter 11 filing. The impact of the Web on the distribution channel for media products has been clear for at least 10 years. We've watched industry entertainment and media giants lose revenue as young upstart companies (or larger ones with visionary leaders) leverage the capabilities of the Web to outperform them. And now we're watching them go bankrupt as they fail to reinvent their business models to counterbalance the distribution of information online. I help companies develop strategies for managing complex Web properties. Based on what I've seen, I feel small companies can learn from the mistakes of the giants. Here are three takeaways from Blockbuster's failure.
- It's important to innovate and operate. If you were managing a mature business prior to the advent of the Web, you have a special challenge. You have to manage your existing business and integrate Web-based capabilities into your operations model at the same time. This balancing act can be difficult to execute. While the Internet and the Web are the new and exciting distribution channels and operational mechanisms, you may still be realizing a majority of your revenue through pre-Web mechanisms and operational paradigms. You must respect both the absolute numbers and the trend. In Blockbuster's case this meant keeping stores open where profitable while leveraging their market share and brand visibility to address the newer distribution channels. From my view, Blockbuster continued to operate, but only paid lip service to innovation, which is how competitors Netflix and Redbox stole their customer base.
- Take advantage of your small size to change quickly. It's difficult for large businesses to change. Frequently big business is grid-locked with a deep and nested organizational structure which makes horizontal collaboration and operational change difficult to achieve. And associated operational supports are frequently aligned to them - making the organization bloated and slow-moving. On the other hand, small businesses are more likely to have a flat management structure and are better positioned to define and implement change more decisively and quickly. Netflix - coming from nowhere - was able to out-perform Blockbuster. Small businesses should examine their market space and see where speed and finely tuned execution might provide business opportunity.
- See the business field clearly no matter the size of your market share. Sometimes businesses get too comfortable and lose their sharpness. While almost no one was ready for the business tsunami of the Internet and Web, leaders had two choices: Analyze the impact and manage accordingly; or not. Clay Christensen's concept of disruptive innovation has been at play here. Some fundamental rules changed and Blockbuster didn't get it fast enough. Whatever performance yardstick Blockbuster was using to measure business success and guide strategic planning underestimated the impact of the change. The business field is more level than it has been in a while because of the Internet. Seeing the field clearly can allow smaller businesses to take on the giants.

Christine Quinn Might Not Even Make the Runoff
She's fallen back to third place in two polls.
Not only is Bill de Blasio flirting with the 40 percent threshold that would allow him to avoid a runoff with the second-place vote-getter, but if there is a runoff, it's becoming increasingly possible that Christine Quinn won't be a part of it, an outcome that seemed unthinkable for most of the campaign. Two new polls have Quinn falling back into third place behind de Blasio and Bill Thompson; she trails Thompson by one point in a Times poll and by seven points in an amNY/News 12 poll. There's still time for her to overtake Thompson for second in this incredibly fluid race, but right now, her numbers are trending down, not up.
