Here are travel toiletries you won't be able to live without, though they'll leave your wallet lighter.
Name: TravelBeauty.com
What it does: It's a shopping website for upscale toiletry items for men and women. Get travel-size products for sun care, skin care, bath and body, hair and nails.
What's hot: You can easily create your own travel kits. Start with the bag, then scroll the pages to fill it up. Don't forget to use the "on" switches in both the upper-right and lower-left corners of the home pages before you begin browsing; it will filter all the products to travel size. Think beyond that little tube of sunscreen (although it has that too) and more along the lines of the bacteria-killing, high-tech Minus Ion Care Water ($20, 3.3 fluid ounces). I especially like the section on "the best beauty products from around the globe," such as Caretrico Type H Shampoo from Japan ($35, 9.4 fluid ounces – too big for your carry-on), Philip Kingsley Elasticizer from Britain ($25, 2.5 fluid ounces) and Juvena Specialist Moisture Plus Gel Mask from Switzerland ($92, 2.5 fluid ounces).
What's not: The prices are up there, so get ready to splurge. Travelers, you're worth it.

Just wondering why have a support forum if nobody responds?
My post from a few weeks ago went unanswered.. and then my most recent one too..
I know that this isn't the best theme from the others, but what i need is that to make the navigation bar to be fixed after scrolling the page and the navbar touches the top edge
[Moderator note: Please don't embed links in reviews]
John Murray
It is really easy to get started with this one, plus it looks great. Some tweaks need to be made via editor, but this mostly applies when translating GUI elements.
It's a great theme, love the parralax effect. I would wish that the navigation line could be frozen, so when scrolling down it wouldn't disappear. Also a function to upload a favicon could be a great user friendly addon. But anyhows, it is really one of the best themes I have worked with. It would have gotten five stars with the frozen navigation option.

Awesome job on this paper craft deviation here. Excellent work on the detail work on the doll's battle gear outfit, as well as your use of the red and dark pink color scheme on the doll's head and bangs. I especially admire the doll's cute expression on his face, as well as the use of the brownish color of his battle armor, thus making him actually want to jump out of my computer screen and do battle with some of my other, well-built paper craft creations. I look forward to adding this to my growing collection. Thanks for sharing this!

I'm using WinXP and here is my question: I run an application, such as Chrome, there would be one app in the task bar, and it's fine. Suppose a new window of Chrome opened(so there would be 2 window and 2 in the task bar), and when I close that,the 2nd one, the whole application just shutdown.
And so does chrome, firefox, evernote, Becky!(the email client), even TortoiseSVN. So I think there should be a generic problem cause these applications shutdown, such as the platform - WinXP.
Please give me some advice or hint, anything comes to your mind would be helpful!

Violence at Home.
April 24, 2000 (Portland, Ore.) -- Carey Draeger was 19 when she met her future husband. After only two months of dating, the two decided to get married. Not long after their honeymoon, Draeger was introduced to a side of her new husband she never saw before. "It started with emotional and verbal abuse, with him saying things like I was lucky he stayed with me or that nobody else would want me," she says. Soon, it wasn't unusual for him to be breaking and throwing things during their arguments.
For two years this behavior continued until their daughter was born, and then the emotional abuse and fighting intensified. Over the next three years, the abuse turned physical when Draeger's husband punched her during an argument. That was the final straw: She convinced her husband to move out and leave her alone. "I still don't know how I was able to get him to leave peacefully. I was very lucky."
Recommended Related to Women
By Meryl Davids Landau When you were in your 20s and 30s, you probably ignored random aches or other minor physical annoyances, and they usually went away. But now those symptoms can come back — often with a different cause, and calling for more serious attention.
Read the Old Symptoms, New Risks article > >
The Latest Statistics Tell the Grim Truth
If only every woman in an abusive relationship were as lucky as Draeger. Many attempt to ride out these disastrous relationships, enduring years of abuse. In fact, a 1997 report from the U.S. Department of Justice found that more than one in three women who sought treatment in the emergency room were there as a result of injuries caused by domestic violence. All those dislocated shoulders, bruised jaws, and broken fingers are not the result of a slippery stairwell or a particularly vigorous roughhousing session with the kids.
And many more women probably suffer in silence. Bruises aren't the only signs of abuse: The Family Violence Prevention Fund defines domestic abuse as any pattern of assaultive or coercive behaviors, including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion that adults or adolescents use against their intimate partners -- male or female. While most abusers are male, they can also be female. The bottom line is that anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, regardless of gender.
The report found that a woman is more likely to be injured from a domestic violence incident than from car accidents, rapes, or muggings combined. A woman is much more likely to be killed by a current or former romantic partner than by a stranger.

Harold Powers "Brick" Muller (June 12, 1901 – May 17, 1962) was a professional football player-coach for the Los Angeles Buccaneers during their only season in the National Football League in 1926. He was also an American track and field athlete who competed mainly in the high jump. Muller competed for the United States in the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Antwerp, Belgium in the high jump, where he won the Silver Medal.[2] He got nicknamed "the Brick" because of his flaming red hair.[2]
Muller grew up in Dunsmuir, California and later attended the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to attending Cal, Muller attended San Diego High School. When Nibs Price was hired by Cal coach Andy Smith as one of his Cal assistants, he encouraged his San Diego High School players to accompany him to Berkeley. Muller and six other graduates from San Diego High School later played on Cal's undefeated, untied 1920 "Wonder Team". In the 1921 Rose Bowl, he completed a touchdown pass to Brodie Stephens that went at least 53 yards in the air. He was later voted the Most Valuable Player of the game. Muller became a star end at Cal and was the first player in the western United States to receive All-American honors in 1921 and 1922.[3][4]
Track and field[edit]
Muller was also a member of the California track and field team. The Bears won the ICAAAA championships in 1921, 1922, and 1923, and also won the second NCAA championships. Muller placed second in the Broad jump, third in the High Jump, and fourth in the Discus Throw.[3]
Los Angeles Buccaneers[edit]
After graduating from Cal, Muller wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon. He was accepted into the University of California's Medical School, but was in need of money. To help supplement his income while in medical school, Andy Smith hired Muller to coach the ends on the Cal varsity. While in school Muller coached from 1923–1925, until Smith died from pneumonia in 1926. After he became a physician, Brick played in the first East-West Shrine Game. Prior to the game, he caught a pass thrown from atop the Telephone Building—a drop of 320 feet (97.5 m).[5][6] During the game, he caught a 27-yard pass for a touchdown. Ed R. Hughes of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in his column: "Remember Muller has been out of college for three years, but right now he is by far the greatest end in the West, and probably one of the best that ever played!!" This led to Muller being signed by the Los Angeles Buccaneers. He soon became the player and head coach of the team. He led the Buccaneers to a 6-3-1 record in 1926. The team later folded in 1927.[3]
After football[edit]
After playing with the Buccaneers in 1926, Muller became an orthopedic surgeon.[4] During World War II Muller served with the Army Medical School with the rank of major, and in 1956 he served as the Head Team Physician for the United States Olympic Team. However the honors kept coming. In the late 1940s, Colliers Magazine senior editor James N. Young, who had compiled All-America data for almost half a century, chose Muller on his All-Time All-America eleven.
In 1953, Muller was also inducted by the San Diego Hall of Champions into the Breitbard Hall of Fame honoring San Diego's finest athletes both on and off the playing surface.[4] and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951.
Brick Muller Award[edit]
The Brick Muller Award, established in 1949, is named in honor of Muller. It is presented to the most valuable lineman on the Cal team. Players who won the award three times include Ralph DeLoach, E (defense; 1977–79), Harvey Salem, T (offense; 1980–82), Majett Whiteside, NG (defense; 1985–87); Andre Carter, DE (defense; 1998-2000), and Mitchell Schwartz, left tackle (offense; 2009–11).[7]

A message from the family
In 2012 Jenna Lowe, our gorgeous, healthy daughter then aged seventeen, was diagnosed with an extremely rare lung disease called Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. This little-known, degenerative and life-threatening condition changed not just Jenna's life, but all of our lives, forever. Bright, beautiful and extraordinarily eloquent, Jenna demonstrated exceptional leadership and courage throughout her three and half year battle with this debilitating illness. She helped raise much needed awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension, opened up new treatment options and brought global expertise to South Africa. Tragically, Jenna passed away in hospital on the 8th of June 2015. In her short life she made a massive social impact, most notably with her internationally acclaimed and award-winning Getmeto21 campaign that significantly increased organ donor registration in South Africa. The Jenna Lowe Trust honours her legacy in all that it does and it supports Pulmonary Hypertension, Organ Transplantation and Rare Diseases in South Africa. Written by: Gabi and Stuart Lowe Cape Town, South Africa
Kristi's Song on iTunes
Getmeto21 Quick Facts
In October 2014, twenty-year-old Jenna Lowe invited the entire nation to her 21st birthday ... the results were astounding… watch her invitation here (add hyperlink to Jen's video on getmeto21 site).
Her video went viral, it was all over social media, in every newspaper and on radio and television. This was the single most successful call to action for organ donors in South Africa, with more than 20 000 new organ donors signing up in just three months … a 287% increase in donor registrations and well over R14 million in media generating awareness for the dire situation of organ donating in SA. Read more facts here about Get Me To 21
Organ Donation Quick Facts
Even though SA is the home of the first ever heart transplant less that 0.3% of our population are organ donors. On any one given day there are at least 4,300 people awaiting an organ transplant. It is quick, easy and costs nothing to become a donor. Your organs could save up to seven lives when you die. Visit Get Me To 21 or Organ Donor Foundation
Rare Diseases Quick Facts
Did you know that over 7,000 different rare diseases have been identified to date, directly affecting the daily life of more than 350 million people worldwide? The complex nature of rare diseases, coupled with limited access to treatment and services, means that family members are often the primary source of solidarity, support and care for their loved ones. The Rare Disease Society of SA has become a crucial source of information, experience and resources for families affected by rare diseases in South Africa. Find out more information on the Rare Diseases SA website.
Pulmonary Hypertension Quick Facts
Pulmonary Hypertension is a progressive, degenerative disease caused by the narrowing or tightening of the veins and arteries in the lungs.
Common early symptoms of PH include:
Breathlessness (particularly during physical activity); excessive fatigue; dizziness; fainting; peripheral oedema and chest pain (particularly during physical activity). Learn more about Jenna's particular journey with PH.

Hey, I'm Nesta!
Hi, I'm Nesta. There aren't very many of us and I love having an unusual name!
My husband Keith and I have well-travelled kids (and three grandchildren) and are now more free to travel a bit ourselves to go and see them.
We love seeing new places, and finding out about different people and their history and cultures. We like being out of doors whenever possible (but we also like being warm enough!) and we enjoy walking. We have been camping most of our lives but are becoming fonder these days of our creature comforts. We still like to keep life simple though, and appreciate the important things that money can't buy - human kindness, friendliness, the natural world. I find most things in life interesting - except celebrities and money - but there aren't many things that I couldn't live without (even, as I've recently discovered, chocolate!!) - except my lovely family. I am much more aware these days of the effect my lifestyle has on other people and the planet, and I try to modify it accordingly. I actively support campaigns against injustice, or harm to the environment, and I'm encouraged by today's groundswell of people power to change the world for the better.
Unfortunately I'm not likely to meet you in person if you are a guest, but I hope to get to know you anyway. Please feel free to ask us any questions.
As guests, we are considerate and unfussy and will leave your place as clean and tidy as I hope you would leave ours. Looking forward to hearing from you!

And so the myth grows. Unable to whip the crowd into baying dervishes, Diego Simeone did the same to himself and gave a 'friendly' slap to one of his own Atleti staff for not getting the late substitution in motion before Bayern took their injury-time throw.
He needn't have worried. Tonight he'll sit in his Madrid home and watch to see who his opponents will be in the Champions League final at the end of this month. Many, myself included, wouldn't mind if it were his last match in charge of the Rojiblancos before taking charge at The Emirates, knowing full well it won't be.
There's always next season, eh?
And in fairly equal measure, there are those who find that outcome an abhorrence. For them, even though Jose Mourinho seems likely to return to the Premier League as Manchester United manager, Simeone is the devil incarnate.
His Atletico Madrid team is the antithesis of how Arsène convinced them football, without exception, should be played. Trophies won by lesser methods are diminished, their triumph stained by a puritanical streak and blind faith in a manager whose methods are, it is increasingly apparent, failing.
Simeone, of course, has a record since taking over at the Vincente Calderon, which makes Arsène's pale by comparison in the same timeframe. He's landed the title, domestic cup, equivalent of the Community Shield, Europa League and got his club to two Champions League finals in three years. He may land the title this season as well although Barcelona's run-in leaves them firmly in the driving seat.
Every club has its purple patch and after the madness of Jesus Gil, who can deny that Atletico aren't due some good times.
In the transfer market, his philosophy has been guided by the same principles that govern Arsenal. Atletico are big spenders but big sellers as well; the net spend in his time in charge has never been more than £20m in one season, not window, season.
Are you still arguing that Arsenal wouldn't consider him?
Fundamentally, the issue is two-fold. First and foremost, people would like him to replace Arsène and that's the kiss of death. The equivalent of a pirate's black spot. To some, their puritanical zeal refuses to countenance a team which plays the 'Simeone Way'. A team which in 36 games has scored 60 goals and conceded just 16. So that's scored 1 more than Arsenal and conceded 18 less.
Before you claim it's a fluke, Arsenal have only outscored Atletico twice in the four full seasons Simeone has been in charge. And always conceded more.
I wouldn't particularly argue if someone said those statistics are apples and pears, to be honest. Comparisons of league is always subjective but usually that comes about because it runs contrary to the narrative someone is trying to put forward, when they realise a plank of their argument doesn't stand scrutiny. So I thought I'd get in there first.
But the Champions League is another matter. Wenger's phenomenal record of qualification isn't disputed but whether its any sort of sporting achievement, certainly in the last decade, is open to debate. Since Paris, Arsenal have made the semi-finals once and the last eight, twice. The rest? Good or mediocre opposition has dumped us out with relentless monotony.
This season is particularly uncomfortable. Arsenal trailed Bayern 3 – 5 over the two group matches whilst Barcelona also put five past Arsenal on aggregate. Atletico knocked both those sides out. Not by expansive, all-conquering football but by outplaying both teams at home and doggedly defending away.
The performance is the Camp Nou was particularly instructive in Simeone's ways. Reduced through the stupidity of his striker, they did not cave or crumble in the face of Barcelona's remorseless pursuit but defended doggedly, illegally and with some luck. But without fear, without capitulating and with a sense of togetherness and purpose, the like of which I can't remember the last time an Arsenal side displayed.
And that's really the point. Like everything in football tactics, there are nuances and tweaks but at their core, Arsenal have two tactics. The stereotypical passing game and rope-a-dope. Atletico do the same but it's always based on strong defence. They can pass the ball but Simeone isn't worried by not having the lion's share of possession. With good reason; Arsenal have shown with alarming frequency the futility of ball-hogging.
But the biggest advantage that Atletico have is the adaptability of their game. It's a smooth transition between the two in Europe and Arsenal don't do that well. Even with a quick equaliser in Munich, I don't think the outcome would have been any different. We were too defensively loose to keep the score down. Atletico came under as, if not more, intense pressure and stood firm.
You could argue quite rightly that you find Atletico boring to watch. It's subjective and open to counter-argument. Sometimes, more frequently than not this season, Arsenal are as dull as dishwasher with relentless and meandering passes. Until Arsène finds a directness and purpose to the core home games, a way of bypassing the massed ranks of visiting defences, we will remain trapped in the first circle of footballing hell.
It's a new way of thinking and even though there's an acceptance that Arsène's era is drawing to a close, there's a widespread reluctance to countenance the notion that the football post-Wenger is going to be different. It isn't in the club's best interests to appoint Wenger-lite as a successor. It is doomed to fail; the role needs a strong personality to carry the players through, not mollycoddle them but to imbue strength and a sense of purpose.
If players don't like it, there is a door marked 'Do One' through which they are quite welcome to walk.
The new man won't rip his structures immediately to pieces. He might on the playing side for the first team, he may change the style from youth to seniors but the actual club itself will most likely remain intact. He might want a different way of working but that's life. New brooms and all that.
At the moment, Diego Simeone is flavour of the month. Give it a season and someone else will pop up, I'm sure. But if you want to know what is possible, look at the Spanish capital. Atletico aren't dissimilar to Arsenal in their stature in the national game but right now, they are achieving more.
And that is the lesson to be learned.
'til Tomorrow.

Passing the Education Buck
Janet Kujak is a born classroom performer. A tall woman with a shock of brown hair and a splash of bright red on her cheeks, she soothes, commands, and entertains her 5-year-old charges. There are about 24 in her class. And that's an improvement from the beginning of the year.
Like most other city schools of its kind, Northstar Elementary was recently designated a "community school," and a spot was guaranteed for each kid in its attendance area. In a poor neighborhood full of young families, that guaranteed overload. Though Minneapolis kindergarten classes are supposed to have no more than 19 kids on average, Kujak and her colleagues started the year herding 28 5-year-olds each.
"A lot of them come straight from home," she says. "They've never been in daycare. They've never been in any big group before. So we need to think of every detail ahead of time. What you do with your table, where you put your garbage. How you stand in a line, where your hands go, how you eat, how you handle conflict. And there's always someone walking off somewhere, or someone getting bumped and crying."
Kujak and her colleagues got a little relief. Some reshuffling reduced class sizes, and the school won a state grant to test an all-day kindergarten program. "That's made a huge difference," says Kujak. "I'm old enough to remember how, before 1990, we had 33 kids in each class, and two classes every day. That's 66 kids a day; 66 families to get to know, 66 individual learning plans to put together. There were just a lot of things you couldn't do. Activities, like cooking, games--a lot of my teaching is done through games. But when you have that many kids, a lot of your time is spent just keeping the lid on. It's hard with 25, but it can be done."
This is the easy part of the referendum Minneapolis voters will find on their ballots November 5. First approved in 1990, it's given the schools $25 million a year so they could reduce class sizes to a tolerable level. If it's not renewed, close to 10 percent of the district's general-fund revenue will be lost. Sitting in Kujak's classroom, the conclusion seems logical: These kids obviously deserve every penny.
A look at the politics behind the referendum is educational--not for what it says about this particular levy, but for what it reveals about how public education will be paid for (or not paid for) in the future.
On the surface, the campaign is a love fest. The school district, obviously, supports the levy. So does the teachers' union, many of whose members are paid directly from referendum funds. The Star Tribune, which editorialized against the measure in 1990, is now in favor. Even the Chamber of Commerce has gotten on board.
So, you might ask, what's different this time? A few things--a new superintendent, a good PR effort, a decent record spending referendum money. More than anything, though, the change is a matter of who will be paying the tab. Businesses and rich homeowners bore most of the referendum burden over the last six years. Now, as a result of legislative changes and a Faustian pact the district struck with business interests, homeowners will have to shell out. And that's the part referendum proponents don't like to talk about.
Take what they told Beth Popalisky. A teacher in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, she was an easy sell to start with: She has 33 students in her classroom and appreciated the benefits of Minneapolis's lower numbers. But she just bought a house in the city, and she'd heard that the referendum could cost her as much as $120 a year. So she called the Better Schools/Better Communities referendum hotline. It was a relief to hear that at the most, her school property tax bill would rise by $21 next year if the levy was approved.
What the hotline people didn't tell Popalisky was that the price won't stay that low. For one, the actual referendum tax increase for an $85,000 home, roughly the Minneapolis average, is $68 in 1997. The bill looks lower only because other school taxes have gone down as a result of rising downtown property values.
What's more, the referendum's tax bite will go up each year for five years, finally reaching $183 for the same $85,000 house in 2001. That's still a defensible amount--it works out to about 50 cents a day--but it does represent an almost fourfold increase.
But if you own a business or your house is worth more than $200,000, it's a very different story. Assuming that the referendum passes and current projections hold, people in the most expensive dwellings and owners of business property will get a tax cut. For a $250,000 house, total school taxes are estimated to drop $9 in 1997. For an office building valued at $5 million, education taxes should fall more than $7,000.
The reason for the imbalance is buried amid some little-noticed recent changes in the way property taxes are figured. Politicians don't like to explain them in detail, claiming the system is so complicated mere mortals won't understand. But the basics are actually quite simple.
Unlike most places, Minnesota has a moderately progressive property-tax system. Land and buildings are taxed at varying rates depending on what they're used for and what they're worth. Farms generally get the best deal, followed by owner-occupied homes; commercial and industrial properties pay the most. The owner of a brand-new office tower may pay property taxes at as much as five times the rate of a couple in an aging bungalow.
Not surprisingly, that principle has long been a thorn in the side of business lobbyists. They didn't get anywhere for a long time, what with state politics dominated by DFLers who knew that "buildings don't vote, but people do." But then Gov. Arne Carlson was elected along with a growing numbers of legislators from suburban districts full of industrial parks and high-valued homes. At almost every legislative session since, property-tax reform has been a top priority. And while the rhetoric focused on relief for middle-income families, the changes lawmakers passed almost exclusively helped business properties and mansions.
One of those changes came in 1993, in response to corporate Minnesota's complaint that voters could happily pass referenda knowing that commercial properties would pick up most of the tab. By 2001, lawmakers determined, all referendum taxes in the state would have to be levied at the same "market-value" rate.
This was no mere bookkeeping shift. Under the old rules, businesses in Minneapolis have been picking up about 57 percent of the district's excess levy. With the new system, their share is expected to drop to one-third. By 2001, that system will slash the referendum tax bill for a $250,000 commercial building almost in half, while $85,000 homeowners will pay at least double what they would under the old rules.
One more detail: Though it required that all referendum levies go to market rate by 2001, the Legislature left it up to districts when exactly to make the switch. Some districts have chosen to stick by the old rules as long as possible, making businesses pay more and hoping the Legislature will change the system before homeowners get walloped. Minneapolis could have done the same thing. Whether it would became a key question when, earlier this year, school officials began feeling out the Chamber of Commerce.
According to chamber lobbyist John Bergford, Minneapolis Superintendent Peter Hutchinson approached the group back in January. Business and the schools had pretty much the same agenda, he told them--turning kids into qualified workers and citizens. It was time that they worked together.
The chamber, however, would not play easy to get. Two conditions would have to be met before it could support the referendum: First, the property-tax shift would have to be instituted in a satisfactory manner. And second, the district would have to prove that the referendum money could get results, preferably in the form of rising test scores. In fact, maybe the extra dollars should be withheld each year until "performance goals" were met.
After six months of negotiations, the two sides had an agreement. Minneapolis would phase in the shift to market value evenly over five years, meaning that businesses would get a tax cut right away. And, though the district wouldn't actually guarantee higher test scores, it would set a goal of raising them at least 10 percent each year. A few other items, such as "increased administrative flexibility" also made their way into the deal. On August 15, the Chamber formally endorsed the referendum.
School officials are vague when asked whether other groups were courted as aggressively as the Chamber was. Mark Fermanich, the district's intergovernmental relations manager, says a number of people were involved--parents, the teachers' union, various advocacy groups. Not all of them, he acknowledges, had as much input as the Chamber. But, adds Hutchinson, "We didn't really give the Chamber anything we weren't going to do anyway."
Minneapolis isn't the only place where the relationship between business and the schools has changed--though it is, probably, the place where the change is farthest advanced. For several years now, business groups have taken an increasingly vocal position on public education. They've called for performance incentives such as merit pay for teachers; "results orientation," which generally means doing whatever it takes to raise test scores; and increased "competition," which usually means some manner of private-school voucher initiative. They've also demanded a fundamental restructuring of the way schools are financed--in particular, a drastic shift away from property taxes as the main resource.
On each of these points except vouchers, Hutchinson and his firm, Public Strategies Group, have provided a much-watched model. To this day, Minneapolis is the only district in the country managed entirely by a private company. The super, a former vice president of public relations at Dayton Hudson, has brought corporate mantras like "reengineering" and "quality" to the schools. His interviews and proclamations brim with words like "achievement" and "performance," the latter showing up no fewer than 15 times on one page of a memo.
The results so far are mixed. Surveys commissioned by the district show that parents and students have been feeling better about the schools. The union has agreed to help boost teacher performance. A new math curriculum has been developed. Test scores have improved.
Yet those same scores show that the gap between white students and Native American and African-American students is getting wider. Desegregation has been given the boot as the district started a move back toward neighborhood schools. And though Minneapolis spends more money per pupil unit than any other district in the metro area, it remains starved for resources to deal with an increasingly needy population. For years now, the district has been considering suing the state over inadequate funding.
All of which raises the stakes for Hutchinson and PSG when it comes to this referendum. By any account, the firm's national prominence rests almost exclusively on the interest generated by its Minneapolis contract. School officials deny that that contract rides on the levy campaign's success, but it's obvious that if it fails--and if, as Hutchinson ceaselessly warns, the district has to close 10 or 15 schools and fire hundreds of teachers--Minneapolis's vaunted experiment will look a lot less attractive.
If, on the other hand, the referendum succeeds, it will almost certainly increase the pressure toward more changes in education--changes that, at least to some extent, will follow the road set out by the business groups. Hutchinson's promise of increased test scores is nothing new, but it does cement a trend toward assessing kids' progress by an ever more sophisticated set of numbers. And the growing homeowner tax bills brought on by the market value shift are bound to increase resentment against property taxes--which, in turn, could lead to either education cuts or a drastic reform in school finance.
Considering the magnitude of the issues involved, the oddest thing about the referendum campaign is how little they're being talked about. The reason, basically, is that proponents are marching in lockstep, and critics either can't be heard or don't want to be.
Perhaps the only clear antireferendum position by a major political body comes from the Republican party. Its city committee calls the levy a "Band-Aid for a system that needs a tourniquet." But, says First Ward GOP Chair Cynthia Aldrich, they haven't been able to mount much of a campaign because "no one was willing to help fund us. Peter did a really good job at going in the front door and getting everyone to close ranks." So far, the referendum campaign has raised and spent in the neighborhood of $200,000, with a good number of the contributions coming from business interests. Yet, Aldrich and other opponents say, word of mouth shows that many voters are lukewarm to downright cool about the referendum.
Which, in turn, is what's keeping a lot of other people quiet. As Dennis Schapiro, veteran school observer and publisher of the Jola Education Monthly newsletter, puts it, "It really would be a bad situation for the schools if this fails. And no one wants to give people a reason to vote no." In other words: Even those who might speak candidly--in a city where frank discussion of the schools is hard to come by anyway--are quiet because they're desperate. It's an understandable dilemma, and a perfect setup for a campaign as vacuous as any in recent history. "Vote Yes For Kids," read the lemon-yellow lawn signs and leaf bags of the Better Schools/Better Communities committee. They don't say a thing about what exactly people are being asked to do.
Judging from the numbers, the referendum faces rough sailing. Eighty-five percent of Minneapolis kids go to public school, but fewer than 20 percent of households have school-age children. That's part of the reason why a lot of people thought it would have been a good idea to put the referendum on the ballot last year, when the only election in Minneapolis was for school board. Hutchinson himself suggested that in the summer of '95, and board members voted to pop the question to voters that fall. But within days, the super called them to say his staff couldn't get the campaign together in time.
Hutchinson says district officials simply were too busy with other things, including the move to community schools. He also hints that "there was some confusion because there was a school board election going on at the same time." (Generally, board members don't like to have to run and defend a tax increase at the same time.) Other observers say Hutchinson and PSG simply dropped the ball.
Whatever the reason, the fact that the referendum is up this year forces it to compete with a presidential election (such as it is) and a tight Senate race. School officials privately wonder whether all voters will even flip the ballot to find the referendum on its back side; if they do, it will say right there that "by voting yes on this question you may be voting for a property tax increase." It's not that often that people get to rebuke one of those.
Publicly, school officials claim not to be worried. This, Hutchinson insists, "is a city where people support public education." Just to make sure, however, referendum proponents also make a none-too-subtle pitch to the pocketbook. "If we start going into disaster scenarios," says Minnesota PTA president and campaign co-chairwoman Sue Eyestone, "the impact if it fails would be pretty dramatic. If we have to close schools and start moving thousands of kids around, you got a whole bunch of middle-class families who say 'okay, you want to move me, I'm moving to Eden Prairie.' Then you get property values dropping and neighborhoods sliding."
So far, it looks as if neither apple pie nor property-values panic have really grabbed voters by the gut. Internal district polls indicate a slight majority in favor of the referendum, but it's a close call.
And it's not just the no-new-taxes crowd that is skeptical. An increasing number of people, acknowledges School Board Chairman Bill Green, "especially in the African-American community," are growing resentful of a system they see as failing the kids. It's not a view championed by most of officialdom. But it's there nonetheless.
"Looking at it objectively, kids aren't any better off today than they were before the referendum," says Earl Cooley, who retired earlier this year as a Minneapolis school counselor. "We're dealing with two serious extremes in the public schools. There's a high top and a very low bottom. And the people at the high end [Minneapolis's National Merit scholars and so on] are making those at the bottom look fairly decent. But the truth is, a lot of Johnnys still can't read. I question how much of the changes in schools have been promotional gimmicks.
Then you have a consortium that's running the schools, that's making almost half a million a year. And so you seriously wonder whether this referendum is really about kids."
Janet Kujak has been asking her own questions about the referendum. She knows it won't get her a raise, new books, or money for pumpkins, toys, pictures, treats. The money is dedicated strictly to class-size reduction, the only issue district officials believe they can sell to a skeptical public. They even gave up on a proposal for a "technology referendum" to put computers in the schools.
So even if the levy passes, Kujak will continue to buy pretty much everything in her classroom except the tables, chairs, and official curriculum materials. Northstar can't count on PTA members opening their wallets and peddling cookie dough in the office. Ninety percent of the students here are on free or reduced-price lunches, the second-highest percentage of any city school. If the school is lucky, it will get to keep the health clinic just opened this year, and to spruce up its forbidding exterior. If property-tax collections fall again, the state doesn't pony up, or the feds make good on promises to cut back federal education spending--then who knows?
Kujak looks at her watch and claps. Lunchtime. She turns to me as I'm leaving. "You know how they've got it set up now so that the taxes are being moved away from business," she says in a low voice. "That's hard. It's just going to make it more difficult for working families. People make those decisions, and no one does anything about it." (For the record, no one from the Minneapolis school district lobbied against the shift to market value.)
The janitor comes with a cart full of egg rolls. "I just hope that people go and vote for this anyway," Kujak says.

Psst: There are four separate scandals going on at EPA right now
posted at 9:21 pm on June 10, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham
Oh, that we were not flooded with scandals already, this might actually rate some coverage. But alas, as it is, even a news junkie like myself didn't know there were four separate EPA scandals going on until Gabriel Malor laid it out for me. You should follow him because he's smart.
Four simultaneous scandals is the most of any agency we're talking about right now. It's gonna take a lot more attention before the EPA is forced to clean house. More than a couple congressional letters, I would think, which is why I'm writing about it now. I don't know if it's because EPA is relatively more popular than some of the other agencies embroiled in scandal now, or if these scandals simply affect fewer people directly, but this is probably the best chance we've had in a while to curtail EPA's prosperity-destroying activities.
Make sure you go over and read the whole thing, but here's the run-down.
1) The EPA gave an ethics award to fake employee, "Richard Windsor," who was already just an unethically created e-mail alias for the agency's former head, Lisa P. Jackson.
HotAir's covered this story several times, but it really escalated to a point I don't think I would have even concocted for a fictional account of government stupidity for fear it might feel like a reach. But government stupidity, undaunted by such a challenge and unbound by the limits of my imagination indeed awarded the "scholar of ethical behavior" award, among other professional recognitions, to a dude who does not exist and was created merely to unethically circumvent FOIA requests.
As the result of the persistence of the Competitive Enterprise Institute in pursuing their Freedom of Information Act requests, we found out late last year that Jackson had been using an epa.gov email account under the name of "Richard Windsor," and that in practice it looked an awful lot like a deliberate attempt by Jackson to fly beneath the transparency radar when communicating about costly and publicly controversial EPA ideas and initiatives. Even better, it now looks like the EPA awarded the non-existent Richard Windsor with several of the oh-so-august bureaucracy's required workplace certifications
As Erika wrote, this is real life.
2) The EPA makes conservatives pay a fortune for FOIAs to be granted while waiving fees for liberal groups.
According to research from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, whose fellow Chris Horner uncovered "Richard Windsor:"
Specifically, CEI asserts that the EPA is waiving FOIA fees for what it describes as left-wing groups – like the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and EarthJustice – while it "systematically denies waivers for groups on the right," according to CEI Senior Fellow Christopher Horner.
Horner said his research shows that from January 2012 to Spring 2013 the fees for "green" groups were waived in 75 out of 82 cases. Meanwhile, the EPA effectively or expressly denied his request for fee waivers in 14 of 15 FOIA instances over this same time period. Horner's appeals of the EPA decisions to deny his fee waivers were rejected.
Further review, Horner said, established that "green" groups proved successful in getting their fees waived 92 percent of the time.
As Gabe notes, the EPA is kindly "considering" an investigation into this matter. Most transparent administration evah. More pressure, please, Congress!
3) EPA contractors are basically Gym, Tan, Laundrying in new, swanky rec rooms thanks to your tax money.
In a huge Environmental Protection Agency warehouse in Landover, enterprising workers made sure that they had all the comforts of home. They created personal rec rooms with televisions, radios, chairs and couches. On the walls were photos, calendars and pinups. For entertainment, they had books, magazines and videos. If they got hungry, they could grab something from a refrigerator and pop it into a microwave.
The crown jewel of their hideaway — which stored EPA office furnishings — was a 30-by-45-foot athletic center, cobbled together from "surplus" EPA gym equipment and decked out with a music system provided via "other agency inventory items," according to a recently released inspector general's report.
All of it was carefully hidden from security cameras by partitions and piles of boxes set up by the workers, employees of Apex Logistics, the contractor that ran the warehouse until the EPA severed ties after learning of the situation last month.
4) The EPA leaked confidential information on farmers and cattle facilities to environmental groups. No bigs.
For your NOM-IRS analogy, this one's perfect:
According to a letter from a group of Senators to Acting EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe, the EPA "released farm information for 80,000 livestock facilities in 30 states as the result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from national environmental organizations. It is our understanding that the initial release of data contained personal information that was not required by the FOIA request for ten states including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio and Utah. This release included names and personal addresses."
The Senators sent the letter Friday to express concern over the sensitivity of the data that was released to groups like Earth Justice, Pew Charitable Trust and Natural Resources Defense Council and to ask how the EPA plans to protect the data of farms and ranches that are also homes to families.
I'm in ur database, leakin to your political enemies.

So much of the anxiety, stress, and turmoil we experience comes from our lack of faith in the universe. We believe that we need to make everything happen and plan every detail to feel safe. We live our lives controlled by outcomes and future plans. In fleeting moments we reconnect with the flow of the universe, such as when we're feeling serene on a meditation pillow, gazing at a still lake in the midst of a walk, or sweating it out in a yoga class. Fleeting moments of connection remind us of our truth. But what would life be like if we always remembered that we were being guided? More
Have you ever noticed that when you're inundated with mental noise, it's harder to stay calm and be productive—much less tune into your innate wisdom and live your life with purpose? Carla Goldstein, Omega Institute's chief external affairs officer, observes, "We contemplate the past, we dream about the future, we worry, we anticipate, we fantasize about our lives. More
For the past two years I've made the intention to measure my success with how much fun I'm having. I came to this intention after living in the opposite way and hitting bottom. For a while I was measuring my success based on my level of stress, but then I surrendered to the fact that true success must be based on happiness. More
People ask me, "What is your experience when you chant?" I don't know what to tell them. What I do is a little mystical and mysterious, even to me. I can't explain it. When I sing I start to release my thoughts and feelings and the stuff of the day. I start to get quieter inside. I am singing to that loving presence that is represented for me by my guru Neem Karoli Baba. I don't necessarily think about him, Maharaj-ji, as a person when I'm singing. It goes deeper than that.

A Ritual for New Beginnings
As we reach the end of a cycle, we feel the teachings of completion—what is dying to be reborn, an awareness of the shadow side of ourselves to be "composted" and transformed. The solstice-New Year offers a mirror of every new cycle that will arise—new moons and changes in seasons. Much as people often make New Year's resolutions, we can reflect upon our seven fires (or seven chakras) as a way to complete the old and ignite seeds for the new cycle—not just for New Year but for all the junctures ahead.

Ayurveda's Morning Routine
How do you tend the rhythm of your life? Ayurveda's dinacharya (or daily routine) practices offer ways to support your well-being. Within the Tantras and Ayurveda, the first waking breath of the day is a very sacred sandhya (juncture), a practice in itself for waking from the dream state in life. It is also a reflection of where your consciousness resides. You can engage in a series of practices, described below, to help align you with the fresh energy of morning and carry those rhythms into the rest of your day. More

Marty McFly, Mal Reynolds, El Mariachi - the ten coolest offbeat cowboys
We've always loved cowboys, with their twirling lariats and dusty bandanas. Today, about 17,000 of the bowlegged rough riders are convening at the tiny area of Hamel for its 30th annual rodeo. To celebrate, we've compiled a list of the 10 coolest cowboys in film. But our list has a twist: They're all characters that fulfill the cowboy archetype -- the lanky, lonesome gunslinger -- but in an unexpected package, whether as a child's toy or a space pilot.
Malcolm Reynolds Firefly
Joss Whedon's Serenity, in addition to being a rollicking sci-fi adventure series, was also a space Western set in the time after a cataclysmic war (a Civil War, dare we say?). The frontier is unexplored, and savage Reavers (American Indians?) plague the outer borders of civilization. Malcolm Reynolds, a retired soldier from the losing side of the war, makes a living rustling cattle, hauling contraband, and anything else that will render enough cash to keep his ship in the sky. He wears a duster and low-slung pistol, speaks in a Southern drawl, and manages to get himself in to all manner of traditional cowboy scrapes--quick-draw battles, numerous fistfights and bar brawls, and a train robbery (in the series on which Serenity is based, Firefly) are amongst the most memorable.
Ed Tom Bell No Country for Old Men
Sheriff Bell isn't the traditional main character of No Country for Old Men - that honor falls to Llewelyn Moss, who spends the entire movie being chased down by diabolical hitman Anton Chigurh. But Tommy Lee Jones' character steals the show just by dutifully riding in behind the firefights and explosions, examining each scene of destruction for clues and being ready to go toe-to-toe with Chigurh if need be. Ultimately, the six-gun toting, horse-riding sheriff admits to his inadequacy in the closing monologue, after having failed to stop Chigurh or do much of anything beyond clean up the mess. In his own defeat, he reveals the strong character and quiet resignation common to the cowboy archetype.
Woody Toy Story
Poor, abused Woody: As the favorite toy in the closet he is worn, torn, thrown down stairs, and left lying at awkward angles for hours. In his spare time, though, he strides the prairies of Andy's bedroom with a bowlegged gait, wooing Bo-Peep. Unfortunately, when Buzz Lightyear shows up, his rural lifestyle is thrown for a loop and the two gallop off for adventures. Despite the shiny lights and flip-out wings of Toy Story's space ranger, our hearts remain with Tom Hanks' stuffed cattle-man, whose simplicity and loyalty make him a credit to cowboys everywhere.
Han Solo Star Wars
It's easy to get distracted by the galactic scope of the Star Wars story - the Jedis and their lightsabers, the Empire and its evil grasp -- and never come to the realization that Han Solo is basically a stand-in for the Lone Ranger. A bastard, conniving sort of Lone Ranger, admittedly, but think about it -- he wears a pistol low on his hip, rides his favorite steed, the Millenium Falcon, into battle, and has a savage sidekick who sports most of the duo's common sense. Nowhere is the Han Solo-as-cowboy revelation stronger than in his shootout with Greedo -- kicked up against the adobe wall of the Mos Eisly cantina, you can almost see the Stetson knocked back over his eyes and the poker cards in his hand.
Gunslinger Westworld
Westworld has one of the cooler plots of '70s sci-fi; in a futuristic amusement park, android cowboys wander the dusty streets of Westworld, ready for action. Guests can challenge these gunslingers to an old-fashioned shoot-out and win every time, thanks to the robots' non-lethal programming. Yul Brynner plays the Gunslinger, a robot pistol fighter who goes rogue and starts killing the amusement park's guests like a retro, wild-west terminator. Unfortunately (spoiler alert) the Gunslinger finally succumbs to damage and deactivates permanently by the end of the film, but his freaky bald visage is burned into history as the coolest amusement park robot cowboy gunslinger villain of all time.
El Mariachi, Robert Rodriguez's lower-than-low-budget career kick-off, follows the story of a wandering guitar player, a loner sporting spurs who hangs out in dusty cantinas, picking for a living. A case of mistaken identity finds El Mariachi on the run from gangsters and converts the guitarist into a badass pistolero. The production values may be minimal, but El Mariachi features some of the cooler shoot-outs in Western (or Southwestern) film, and the end of the movie leaves the main character with a broken heart, a hand injury that ends his guitar-playing career, and nothing to do but wander the Mexican countryside with a guitar case full of weapons. Classic cowboy.
Marty McFly Back to the Future III
Back to the Future III features more time-travel paradoxes than you can shake a Delorian at, and one of the creepiest endings in film history (google "Back to the Future III creepy kid"), but it also has great campy action sequences and pseudo-modern twists, like this scene, where Marty McFly does the moonwalk to avoid bullets in a nod to the "make 'im dance" meme of Western film. With a hovertrain, fistfights, and a steampunk sniper rifle, Marty McFly's brief but awesome time as an unwilling cowboy cements his place on our list.
Buddy Six String Samurai
Post-apocalyptic badass Buddy takes being the strong silent type to the extreme -- his dialogue in this movie could be written out on a cocktail napkin. His cowboy-ness is a little less overt than others on this list; he wears a black suit instead of a duster, rides a dilapidated jalopy instead of a horse, and carries a katana instead of a six-shooter. But his quest into the West falls right into the cowboy archetype, as does his attempt to save the orphan waif he discovers in his wanderings. Much of Six String Samurai is filmed in classic Western style, focused on dusty streets, tense stand-offs, and rollicking chase scenes. His final desert guitar duel with Death follows the format of a shoot-out perfectly; you can almost hear the hammer-fanning "powpowpow" behind each riff.
Lt. Aldo Raine Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino works hard to jam as many genres into this alternate-history WWII action flick as he can. One of those genres is the Western, but interestingly, most of the Western-style action takes place off-screen, as Lt. Aldo Raine gathers up a group of Jewish soldiers to ride across Nazi Europe, staging raids against the Axis, collecting scalps and striking terror into the hearts of the anti-Semite aggressors. A combination of Apache raiding, cattle rustling, and outlaw themes combine to a satisfying whole as we are left to imagine most of the vicious antics of Raine and his band. But here we're treated to a bit of fun, as a European ditch takes the place of a dusty box canyon.
Bart Blazing Saddles
Mel Brooks' foray into the Western could hardly be expected to be a straight study in the genre, and Blazing Saddles doesn't disappoint. The central joke -- a black sheriff is assigned to a racist village in order to sow dissent and drive the townsfolk off -- sets up racist joke after racist joke, mostly instigated by Bart himself, as in this scene, where the new sheriff holds himself hostage with his own gun: "Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!" With Gucci saddlebags, a coordinated khaki cowboy suit, and a big helping of sass, there's no doubt Bart is one of the coolest cowboys of all time.

I have been a Bible believing Christian for over 35 years. I have spent time in church and out of church. I have spent years doubting my faith. And I have also spent years where I have experienced the true Spirit of God/Christ flowing through my life.
There are major differences within the churches and denominations as to whether or not they believe Scripture is the perfect word of God or not. Some Christians believe it is error-free and others believe it has some errors; but that the overall flow of the stories and documents reveal that God exists, that he is real, and that we have a spiritual significance while on earth and in the afterlife.
Christians are who they are because of their spiritual relationship with God and with Christ. True Christians have accepted the spirit of God/Christ within them. There is always a struggle between the divine nature and the human nature within all Christians. However, if you watch a true Christ-seeking Christian over time, you will see that -- over the years and over time -- they become more and more Christlike. It is a life-long spiritual process. And, if I may say so -- it is WORTH IT!
Believing that the Bible is error-free is not a requirement to be a Christian. It may be a requirement to be a member of a certain denomination.
So this is what I am trying to say: If you want to know what Christianity means -- then start your own search. Seek Christ yourself.
A good place to start is with the question....
"Who is Jesus Christ and what did he teach?"
Start with that question - because that is the question that is most central to Christianity.
Start reading the books of the Bible that tell about the life and teachings of Christ. Read the books of Matthew and Mark to start. Write down your thoughts and questions. Keep a journal of those thoughts and questions as you read. See what happens. Start with Christ and get to know the spirit of Christ (the Holy Spirit); and the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. Seek and you will find.
It's amazing what lengths people will go to in order to cling to their irrational beliefs.

It's amazing this day in age we still thoughtlessly judge others because we are so insecure about our selves.

PASADENA, Calif. (September 30, 2013)—NASA's Cassini spacecraft has found small amounts of propylene, a chemical used to make storage containers and other products, in the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon Titan.
It's the first time the chemical has been detected somewhere other than Earth.
Titan is among the few bodies in the solar system with a significant atmosphere made up of hydrocarbons.
Cassini previously detected signs that propylene might be present in Titan's hazy atmosphere, but scientists weren't convinced until one of the spacecraft's instruments measured the heat coming from Saturn and its moons, and identified the chemical.
The finding appeared Monday in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Anyone knows of a good error log beautifier? (should be able to handle apache error logs).
Should be open source / free, preferably with a web interface
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I use http://www.librelogiciel.com/software/ScanErrLog/action_Presentation It runs through the error log producing a summary webpage, or some other formats. While it's best run from a regular cron-job (and it will keep a record of what it's parsed before to save effort), it can also be run as a CGI (though the demo appears to be broken).
You can see a sample report generated using Analog and Report Magic at this address: http://www.reportmagic.org/sample/index.html. The Failure Report is simple, but is a starting point.
I use Webalizer to process my website's logs. Its web-interface might be a bit dated but it's very powerful, reliable and can handle very large logs. It's also quite easy to set up which a big plus in my book as you don't want to be worrying about the software, you just want to visualise the data.

Yikes, going thru my cookie list from last year, I see I've forgotten to review this recipe. My apologies for that, but not for these delicious little cookies. They were easy to make and really very tasty. The recipe did not sound the least bit "odd" to me, but intriguing and I am so glad to have tried them. I am making them again and they are in my permanent cookbook! My only change was to add more sesame seeds too.
All I did to "personalize" this was add additional sesame seeds because I like them. They go really well with peanut butter. Makes for a real nice twist to a regular peanut butter cookie.
