LeBron James Surrenders King Moniker to Another: Scott Soshnick
The King resides in Miami, all right.
No, no, no, not him. LeBron James doesn't deserve the sobriquet. Not anymore. Consider his royalty revoked.
As of 9:27 New York time last night, when James told the world he was leaving Cleveland for Miami, Heat President Pat Riley became the king. If anyone will rule over the National Basketball Association for years to come it's him, not James.
"Gonna take my talents to South Beach," James said in an hour-long special on ESPN.
By choosing to pursue a championship, make that championships -- plural -- alongside Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, the two-time Most Valuable Player has positioned himself as nothing more than a piece of the puzzle.
"This definitely hurts LeBron," said Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, a TNT analyst. "When you are 25 you shouldn't be trying to piggyback on other people."
Kings lead. James followed. Kings dictate. James acquiesced to the want and will of Bosh, who has never won a playoff series.
Two MVPs, a $90 million Nike contract, a friendship with Warren Buffett and unprecedented hoops hysteria meant squat to Bosh, who simply wouldn't genuflect.
Bosh is a fine player, but no superstar. And yet he said no. Wouldn't budge. Not even for you know who. Again and again, over and over, Bosh rebuffed the so-called King, who at the start of LeBronapalooza envisioned a dynamic duo in Cleveland, where James, he of Akron, Ohio, could've had it all. Hometown loyalty. Championship rings. Global icon status.
"If it was a perfect world," James said, "I would love to have stayed."
James figured his talent, charisma and aura would be enough to lure someone, especially his Olympic teammate Bosh. He was wrong.
Anywhere But Cleveland
The chance to join the so-called King's court wasn't enough for Bosh, who would've gone almost anywhere else with James. Anywhere but Cleveland. Nets, Knicks, Bulls, whatever.
Bosh made the first move, tethering himself not to James but Wade, the only one of Miami's newly minted triumvirate who can boast of having won it all.
Now it's up to Phil Jackson of the Lakers -- you remember them, Kobe Bryant and the defending champions -- and Boston's Doc Rivers, who has a pretty good roster, too, to figure out a way to beat the revamped Heat. Good luck.
The Heat, no matter which players surround The Trinity, as Wade, James and Bosh are known, are going to be good. Really good. Good enough to persuade the beautiful people to dock their yachts, park their Porsches and head on over to American Airlines Arena. Forget fun in the sun.
Riley's Showtime
What you're about to witness is a testament to the abilities and savvy of Riley, he of the Armani suits and slicked-back hair. Still. The man who presided over Magic Johnson and the Showtime Lakers wouldn't stand for Slowtime in Miami.
Heading into free agency, any team would've been thrilled to land any one of the big three. They would've been downright giddy with two. It's doubtful any team or executive, except for Riley, gave any serious consideration to a clean sweep. But this was his plan all along.
"He's great," was James's evaluation of Riley, who coached Wade and Shaquille O'Neal to the 2006 title. "Pat has been there. He's coached and won championships multiple times. He's played the game. He understands what it takes to be a championship team, the DNA of a championship team."
More than anything, Riley understands the player mindset.
Back in 2006, for instance, Riley had a pit erected in the middle of the Heat locker room that was covered with a black cloth. No outsider was permitted to touch the tarp, let alone peek underneath. The players referenced the pit almost daily. It was theirs, only theirs.
Secret Pit
When it was over, when the Heat had defeated the Dallas Mavericks, the secret was unmasked. The pit contained playing cards emblazoned with the championship trophy on one side and the words "15 Strong" on the other.
The players believed. They bought in. That's half the battle in today's NBA, where superstars like Wade and James are also brands and mini-corporations with dueling agendas.
Riley, we're told, won't coach this team. He doesn't have to. His presence is enough.
I agree with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who, according to ESPN, has told associates that James would probably win championships in Miami but dilute his brand.
James demonstrated his knowledge of NBA history last night, rattling off some of the game's best tandems and teams. Magic, Kareem and Worthy. Bird, Parish and McHale. Thomas and Dumars. And, of course, Jordan and Pippen, who had a little help from the likes of Rodman and Grant.
As of now, Miami has Bosh, James, Wade and little else. The task of rounding out the salary-strained roster falls to Riley.
"The journey is just beginning," he said.
All hail the king.

When I was 17 years old and a freshman in college, I smoked my first cigarette with my new roommate. It was a Salem Light – a menthol cigarette which my roommate explained was easier to smoke than a Marlboro because the menthol helped to numb the burning sensation in my lungs. I have to say that my first cigarette was not particularly enjoyable, yet I tried another and another until I was a regular smoker by the time I graduated four years later. I told myself after each cigarette I smoked that I would quit tobacco when I got out of college and went into the workforce. Easy, right?
The Care2Run Event on May 4th was a big success despite the morning snowfall. Community support from walkers and runners and sponsors made this fundraiser for clean water wells in South Sudan, Africa a success. Participants generously paid a $30 entry fee, the cost to bring 1 person in South Sudan clean water for life, to walk or run on the 4-mile course along the K-Beach Bike Trail.

This Guy Is Better Than You
A Queens man is named a finalist for CNN's Hero of the Year honors.
A Queens bus driver is one of ten finalists for for CNN's Hero of the Year honors. Jorge Muñoz, who emigrated from Colombia in 1981, wakes at 5 a.m. each day to drive a school bus. Instead of going home and taking a long nap afterward, as we would do, he then cooks up to 125 hot dinners, which he hands out to the needy under the elevated 7 train. Every night. Here's the kicker: If he's voted Hero of the Year and gets the $100,000 prize that goes with it, he says, "it would be great because I'd have a budget to help people for at least two years." And now we feel terrible. And kind of hungry. [NYDN]

Scarborough Sea Life Centre declared a 'JAWS' amnesty for the duration of European Shark Week, which began yesterday.
They have a hammer-like shape head, a trendy Hawaiian look, and they are on a mission to spread the word that sharks need urgent protection!
As part of the new focus on shark conservation, Project AWARE just launched a new distinctive specialty course: AWARE Shark Conservation Diver.
4 days of Ocean information, in favor of the sharks and turtles, with help from all local organizations & the artist Carlos Hiller. Together we will try to collect money for Mision Tiburon so they can tag all the Bull Sharks at the Bat islands.
The Marshall Islands government has created the world's largest shark sanctuary, covering nearly two million sq km (750,000 sq miles) of ocean.
The Pacific republic will ban trade in shark products and commercial shark fishing throughout its waters.
Tourism, including diving, is a staple of the Marshall Islands archipelago, which is home to just 68,000 people.
Sharks are in big trouble on the Great Barrier Reef and worldwide, according to an Australian-based team who have developed a world-first way to measure rates of decline in shark populations.
As the annual meeting of Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organizations (NAFO) begins today in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Project AWARE, Shark Advocates International, and other like-minded NGOs have asked for science based catch limits on threatened thorny skates.
TELL this grey nurse shark that it's a protected species in NSW and it may find the news hard to swallow.
The Greens MP Cate Faehrmann, also in the frame, found the shark with a fishing hook in its mouth during a dive last week on the north coast.
On August 15th 2011, Project AWARE Foundation and Shark Advocates International sent a letter to the United States Fish And Wildlife Service as part of a public comment process regarding potential U.S. proposals for listing sharks and other species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Katie (a volunteer at the school) and DM Sami had their hands full teaching the local kids at the Mana Island School about sharks and how important they are to the oceans around us.

I installed a LAMP server and enabled MySQL remote connections but I'm experiencing really bad response times when connecting to the database remotely from a WordPress install.
I've been looking around for hours for a solution but all I could find had to do with setting "skip-host-cache" and "skip-name-resolve" to true. I've done that and I'm accessing the server via IP, but the problem still persists.
Server Details:
- Ubuntu 12.04
- Apache 2.2.22
- MySQL 5.5.24
There are only a handful of people accessing the server so load isn't an issue either.
I'd really appreciate some help with this.

Tess was watching some old shows of Xena, and I walked by. What's that got to do with the post? I could have sworn I heard Morgan Sheppard's voice on the show, though a quick check on IMDB informed me I'm wrong.
That got me to thinking. I've been a bit annoyed at a lot of the media outlets and communities making assumptions on what shared context I have with the rest of the world. I'm not someone that cares what Paris, Brittany, Brad, or whatever personality you can name is doing. The people I list as celebrities are very different. I'm fascinated by what Paul Darrow, Morgan Sheppard, Tim Hunkin, Ron Gilbert, Richard Hatch, Mike Sinz, Anders Hejlsberg, and lots of other people that most of the mainstream media doesn't remember that well are doing.
Sorry, just a random post - maybe there's some value here noting that the obsession with "Hit stars" doesn't just end with the record or movie industry. It happens everywhere, but it's not a very accurate picture of what most of the people you're trying to communicate are interested in. It's just a least common denominator.
(Disclaimer - this post has been written by someone that has never seen an episode of "American Idol", "Lost", or "The Office" but can tell you the name of the bomb that Slim Pickins rode down on, and how the phrase "Reverse the polarity of the neutron pulse" came about. Take it with whatever spice you feel appropriate. There's a reason it's in the "Life in General" category.)

Region 16 tech conference starts Tuesday
Region 16 Education Service Center's Second Annual Technology Conference, set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in the Amarillo Civic Center, will offer educators in the Panhandle "exciting opportunities for technology training and experiences," according to Pat Patton, Region 16 Instructional Technology coordinator.
Education Technology for the 21st Century will feature keynote speakers, Geoffrey Fletcher, executive director of T.H.E Institute and of TCEA, and Keith Mitchell, popular speaker and national education technology specialist for Apple Computer Inc.
On Tuesday, in "What We Don't Plan For Can Kill Us or We Can Laugh Now, But Not Then," Fletcher will examine the evolution of technology planning by looking at real examples of great ideas that were implemented without proper planning. He will also lead break-out session on "Changing Public Policy in Technology Education."
Mitchell, who spoke at last year's conference and returns by popular demand, will bring Wednesday's keynote on "Learning in the Digital Age." Using technology demonstrations, he will show how student use of technology makes academic curriculum relevant to the workplace. Mitchell will also present a workshop on "Short Cuts to Creativity."
"Both keynote speakers will motivate, entertain and inform," Patton said.
More than 125 breakout sessions will be presented by both educators and vendors with a new strand for librarians featuring updated information about the Texas Librarian Connection.
The conference has added an elementary and a secondary "Classroom in Action" in which teachers and students from Amarillo, Canadian and Tulia will demonstrate "best practices" lessons integrating technology into the curriculum.
Three live video conference areas include sessions from GTE; connecting with students at a school in Central Texas; guitar lessons from Minnesota; and sessions with Texas history students from Panhandle Information Network sites around the Panhandle, with students discussing the history and governments of their own towns and counties.
Tables will also be available for hands-on practice with such topics as "Under the Hood of Your PC," "Basic PC Troubleshooting" and "Building and Testing Patch Cables."
Cost of the conference, which includes lunch, is $30 for either one or two days. To register or for information, contact Molly Massey at Region 16, 376-5521, Ext. 362.

Tips to release tension and stress
86 METS: Is this article a joke? Are you really saying that DWS did a good job because she rigged the primary process? Tell me that when Donald Trump is elected president. What she did not only spit in the face of democracy and the democratic voters, but also prevented the candidate who could most likely beat Trump from being nominated. If Sanders was the nominee, Trump wouldn't stand a chance. Now (as much as it pains me to say it), he's the favorite.

I'm developing a my own picture gallery manager and would like to be able to add a mechanism that would enable me to select a pic to insert into a post.
I've seen two ways of doing this:
1) Develop a tinymce plugin [I'm working on this- still having trouble debugging it..]
2) Add a tab into the 'Add an Image' dialogue box which is accessed by clicking the picture icon next to 'Upload/ Insert' above the tinymce editor.
My question is about #2. How do you do that? I haven't seen any documentation on it.
[BTW-I'm using v.2.9.2]

Today's reconfigurable hardware devices have huge densities and are partially reconfigurable, allowing for the configuration and execution of hardware tasks in a true multitasking manner. This makes reconfigurable platforms an ideal target for many modern embedded systems that combine high computation demands with dynamic task sets. A rather new line of research is engaged in the construction of operating systems for reconfigurable embedded platforms. Such an operating system provides a minimal programming model and a runtime system. The runtime system performs online task and resource management. In this paper, we first discuss design issues for reconfigurable hardware operating systems. Then, we focus on a runtime system for guarantee-based scheduling of hard real-time tasks. We formulate the scheduling problem for the 1D and 2D resource models and present two heuristics, the horizon and the stuffing technique, to tackle it. Simulation experiments conducted with synthetic workloads evaluate the performance and the runtime efficiency of the proposed schedulers. The scheduling performance for the 1D resource model is strongly dependent on the aspect ratios of the tasks. Compared to the 1D model, the 2D resource model is clearly superior. Finally, the runtime overhead of the scheduling algorithms is shown to be acceptably low.

Arts Time for a New Books Intern
posted by March 22 at 14:42 PMon
By books intern Chris Weeg
Dear Stranger-reading bibliophiles,
Do you love books? Hardly matters. Do you love data entry? Then have I got the job for you! Literally. I've had the job for three months, and now I want to give it to you.
What do you get to do as the books intern? You get to open mail. You get to decipher dozens of improperly formatted emails. You get to scour the internet for Seattle-area readings and lectures. You get to use a Mac's cut and paste functions. And you don't get paid for your time.
Does that sound pretty good? It is, actually, for the right person. You get to see how The Stranger works, you get to meet the editors who put it together, and you get access to tons and tons of brand new books. Maybe you'll get to write for the paper, too.
Interested? Do what I did. Write an email to Christopher Frizzelle (email@example.com). Explain how you have the proper mixture of [fill in your good points here], say something about how organized and dependable you are, give an opinion of The Stranger's books coverage, and promise not to flake out once you realize that you really will be spending your time opening mail and entering data. Then, when your three months are up, jet off to Argentina, like I'm doing.
¡Adios, muchachos!

In general, Alaskans tend to be more attuned to what's going on in Washington, D.C., than people from other parts of the country. Perhaps it's because Alaska receives some of the highest per-capita federal funding in the nation, or maybe it's just because following politics is a popular pastime during the long, cold winter.
Either way, we'll want to pay extra-close attention to what's happening inside the beltway over the next couple of months — and read the fine print on the bills that Congress has passed over the last few days.
It's a message repeated so frequently, we sometimes wonder if it should be added to the usual season's tidings: merry Christmas, happy New Year, please don't drink and drive.
Chances are that for most people reading this editorial, the message has sunk in — drink responsibly, have a designated driver, call a cab or stay the night. Don't take a chance being pulled over, arrested, or worse, causing serious injury or death.
There's a reason Alaskans voted to limit the state Legislature to a 90-day session: we didn't want our elected representatives wasting time in Juneau on frivolous or unnecessary legislation.
Unfortunately, not every legislator seems to have gotten the message. Just this week, Rep. Bob Lynn, an Anchorage Republican, said one of the first bills the House State Affairs Committee, which he chairs, will hear is his submission that would require voters to show a photo ID at the polls.
We found reason for optimism earlier this week when it was reported that the borough's Anadromous Fish Habitat Protection Task Force was able to stay focused on its task.
The task force was established by Borough Mayor Mike Navarre to examine and make recommendations to improve an ordinance extending habitat protection measures to bodies of water important to salmon throughout the borough. Similar habitat protection measures already are in place along the Kenai River.
We'll admit it, we can be a tough crowd down here on the Kenai Peninsula, especially when it comes to fishery management issues. Nevertheless, we were pleased to see Gov. Sean Parnell, his fisheries adviser Stefanie Moreland and Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commissioner Cora Campbell visit Kenai this week.
Their visit comes on the heels of what was one of the weakest returns of Kenai River king salmon on record, leading to restrictions and closures for east side Cook Inlet setnetters and king salmon sport fisheries across the region.
Just in case you've missed the hoopla leading up to today, it's Black Friday. Today's the day we kick off the holiday shopping season in earnest, and a day on which merchants are hopeful of putting themselves in the black for the year.
Two developments have added to Black Friday in recent years. Cyber Monday is now part of the holiday blitz — the Monday after Thanksgiving when online retailers see a surge in shoppers clicking the "buy now" button.
Thanksgiving: it's a time to say thanks for our families, our friends, the abundance of food that crowds our tables and the other blessings we enjoy. We slow down and enjoy each other's company. We savor the flavors of recipes that likely have been in our families for generations. While we may indulge in too much turkey and pumpkin pie, at least our focus is on our abundance, not our lack.
Tomorrow we'll return to our normal routines, or maybe hit some of the Black Friday sales, or visit with Santa at Christmas Comes to Kenai. But today we say thanks for all that we have.
Today is Veterans' Day, a time set aside each year to thank and honor veterans for their service and sacrifice.
That reason was first expressed by President Woodrow Wilson when he proclaimed the first of what was called Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919:
An Energy Watch test last week asked Southcentral Alaska residents to take measures to conserve energy. Results were modest — about a 1.5 percent savings across the region during the test, which took place from 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 30.
With questions persisting about the region's supply of natural gas in the next couple years, it is becoming more and more important for residents to learn and put into practice more techniques for conserving energy.
There's a big question on Tuesday's general election ballot: who will be the next President of the United States?
The answer to that question is Mitt Romney.
The most important task for our next president will be to improve our failing economy. Romney is better suited to do that than Obama. Once the economy is back on track everything else will fall into place. Printing more money IS NOT the solution. Our country needs a president that understands the challenges facing our economy and has reasonable solutions to fix the problems.
Romney can do that.

|Vince has only missed 18
Vince has only missed 18 games in a 12 year career that has included 21 playoff appearences. Most of them were from 2 years ago when he tore his achilles. He came back last year and played all 16 games plus won the Super Bowl. I get why people are concerned about his age but he's gonna be fine. He's still doing things like this:

|I think BC should be higher
I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying.
Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst.
EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC?

|I'm a big Providence College
I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East.
I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about.
I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence.

When can we expect to see HTML 5 support for all the major browsers?
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.
You can check http://html5readiness.com/ for browser support, however businesses which use IE7 will obviously not be compatible as older browsers will not be supported.
From the WHATWG FAQ(which is one of the organizations that deals with HTML5:
The WHATWG previously estimated HTML5 would become a Candidate Recommendation in 2012 and Recommendation is 2022 (or later)
Also, as seen in here, some expected in 2007 that HTML5 would become a Recommendation in 2010 Q3. I don't see it happening so soon, though.
In the future I think.
Beign more serious we can't predict it even with very big error range. 5 years? Will IE conform all the rules correctly? Noone knows.
It's impossible to predict when all of HTML5 will be available in all major browsers, across all users.
And it isn't all that useful to think about, either. If you just want to use
What is more useful is to ask when specific features will be ready, across all of the major browsers. A site that I like for tracking that is When can I use..., which lists a rough indication of which browsers are compatible with which features (some HTML5, some CSS3, some other specs or not even specced at all). HTML5 Readiness presents the same information, in a prettier but in my opinion less readable fashion.
Because of the fact that it doesn't really make sense to ask when an entire spec will be fully implemented by all browsers, the WHATWG (originator of the HTML5 spec, and co-owner of it along with the W3C) has moved to an process without specific versions; the WHATWG is now simply adding features slowly, and letting browsers implement them at the pace that they implement them, without worrying about whether any given browser implements the whole spec.

The room was newly decorated. Decent enough room. No refrigerator or microwave, nor was a microwave available in the lobby. The phone wasn't working, the tv was old (not hd) and CBS wasn't available. The wifi was very slow and wouldn't even allow for Netflix (.5mbps). I was there on a Sunday night and it was pindrop quiet. However, when I was checking in in the afternoon there were 3 police cars dealing with an unruly tenant. Was told it could get rowdy on weekends.

The stark contrast between the Republican and Democratic parties on immigration was codified in their 2016 party platforms, and showcased in the rosters of convention speakers—featuring victims of unauthorized immigrant crimes on the one hand, and unauthorized immigrants living in fear on the other. This article explores the evidence, even compared to earlier platforms, of two divergent universes regarding immigration.
Read Article
As many as half of all unauthorized immigrants in the United States entered legally and overstayed a visa. This article explores a possible way to refine visa policies: Examine the economic growth of travelers' home countries. The author examines the correlation between economic growth and the rate at which a country's nationals are denied visas, and explores how this might inform visa policy.
The Brazilian immigrant population in the United States doubled during the 1980s and almost tripled in the 1990s, but stabilized following the Great Recession. While this population has long included a significant share of unauthorized immigrants, Brazilians are increasingly coming to the United States through family, employment, and study channels. Learn more about Brazilian immigrants with this Spotlight.
News of the Zika virus outbreak in Latin America has raised alarm bells, resulting in scattered calls for tighter restrictions on international entries to the United States. Evidence shows, however, that closing borders and restrictions on international travel tend to have little impact on the spread of infectious diseases. This feature article explores the linkages between public health and migration in the Americas.
A split ruling by the Supreme Court in United States v. Texas has dealt a hard blow to the Obama administration's signature deferred action programs. While the decision makes it unlikely the DAPA program and DACA expansion will be implemented in their current form, the outcome at the high court may have opened a path for renewed movement on immigration policy changes in Congress, as this article explores.
Movements of migrants and asylum seekers in the Mediterranean have shown to be highly fluid, adapting quickly to changing conditions at origin, transit, and destination. This article examines the shifts in flows across the three major Mediterranean routes since 2008 and the complex web of often interconnected factors underpinning these movements.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
The number of college-educated immigrants in the United States has more than tripled in the last two decades. Asians accounted for 46 percent of the 10.5 million college-educated immigrants, with India the top origin country. This Spotlight article examines key indicators of the college-educated population, including international students and high-skilled H-1B visa holders.
Lesvos became a major focal point in Europe's migration crisis as more than half a million migrants and asylum seekers transited the Greek island in 2015. Describing the work of ad hoc volunteer-led efforts and professional aid organizations, this article delves into the evolution of the aid response across the island and the challenges of integrating humanitarian operations.
Passed with minimal controversy and public debate, the 2016 spending bill included some of the most substantial immigration policy changes enacted by Congress in the last decade. The changes touched on aspects including temporary worker visas, visa security, and the immigration courts, and could signal a new strategy for legislative change to the immigration system.
Signed more than 30 years ago, the Cartagena Declaration sought to address rising flows of refugees and establish regional solidarity in refugee protection in Latin America. This article explores the evolution of refugee and asylum policies in Latin America amid the long-running Colombian civil war, as well as the region's response to the current global refugee crisis.
The number of Asian immigrants in the United States has increased exponentially over the last 50 years, and Asia is now the second-largest region of birth of U.S. immigrants. The growth of this population dates to the abolition in 1965 of national-origin quotas that barred immigration from Asia. This article delves into key data on Asian immigrants, from settlement and employment patterns to immigration pathways, and more.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
In 2012, the United States granted humanitarian protection to more than 87,000 people, with grants of asylum up 19 percent and refugee admissions up 3 percent from a year earlier. This article provides a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States, including country of origin, top states of settlement, and more.
More than 1 million people became lawful permanent residents (LPRs) of the United States in 2012, with family-sponsored immigrants accounting for two-thirds of those gaining a green card. This Spotlight examines federal statistics on foreign nationals who gained LPR status during 2012.

Chenin Blanc, one of the world's most versatile grapes, is a white wine treasure that is beloved by wine enthusiasts but not yet fully in the mainstream. Summer is the perfect time to explore this delicious and very affordable wonder of the wine world.
Chenin blanc has been cultivated in the Loire Valley in France since the 9th century. Though the French have since mastered Chenin Blanc, today it is widely planted in the New World: the United States, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
In France, Chenin Blanc is made in a variety of wine styles from bone dry to medium-sweet and from still to sparkling. But outside of France, the Chenin Blanc grape is usually made into a dry white that is perfect for summer quaffing and food pairing. These wines are typically made to be consumed young. They are wonderful as an aperitif or with salads, fish, chicken and white meats, especially pork.
Old vine Chenin Blanc (many over 70 years old) is prolific in the Swartland of South Africa and cherished for its ability to produce whites of sublime depth and richness. The region is a hotbed of like-minded natural winemakers that produce exceptional New World Chenin Blanc: French ex-pat Vincent Carême works with a less-is-more mentality and a boundless energy that is frankly unparalleled; And winemaker Adi Badenhorst's Secateurs Chenin Blanc is another bottle worth savoring this summer with its luscious, honeyed fruit.
Meanwhile, on Long Island, maverick Chenin master Kareem Massoud of Paumanok winery on the North Fork produces world-class examples of Chenin Blanc. Massoud's new release "Minimalist" is a perfect summer white with its vibrant fruit and modest alcohol (only 11%). Or, if you're in a California state of mind, seek out the Chenin Blanc wines from Leo Steen—our favorite being his concrete egg fermented bottling from the limestone soils of the Jurassic Vineyard in Santa Barbara.
Chenin Blanc is a grape that takes on so many different forms as it is grown in different climates and soils. No matter where it's grown, its balance of crispness and honeyed fruit is sure not to disappoint.

I am currently writing a script that will basically 'install' a codeigniter installation automatically.
Basically I need to…
- Create a new folder
- Copy files from another folder and paste them into the newly created folder
- Modify 2 config files within the new installation
I am using PHP but I am thinking I perhaps need to trigger another script in a server side language?
Also, I need advice on how I can trigger this script without hanging the browser (ie. redirect the user to a holding page that tells them to wait 5 or so minutes)as it will take quite a while for the 2000 files+ to be copied across.
I appreciate all your thoughts and suggestions.

44th Annual Gathering of the Tribes
Well met fellow pagans! We would like to talk to you about our annual Gather of the Tribes. This gathering offers the chance to express our individual religions without fear. It is a time to celebrate and embrace the ancient ways of the spirit and nature.
This Gathering of the Tribes is religious retreat traditionally held in May on public land near Waterloo, Iowa. The gathering is a community event that is designed for pagans of all different faiths. It will be open to followers of all different faiths who are respectful other beliefs.
The Gathering of the Tribes creates a open place for pagans of all faiths to compare the similarities between their traditions and beliefs. It is a place where everyone is free to express their personal beliefs and and traditions. All who attend share a common belief in the sacredness of life and what they hold dear in their different belief systems.
A nightly drum circle and bardic songs will be played to help celebrate this gathering of all different people. During the celebration there will be singing, dancing, and total enjoyment of the natural energies surging up from the Earth. The entire Gathering will help us celebrate the old ways of nature and spirit.
More importantly the Gathering of the Tribes is a way to celebrate the brighter things in life at a time when people are having a hard time seeing through the darkness. Events like these are important for us to remember what is important in life and to reconnect with the roots of our faith. Gathering of the Tribes will be similar to many other pagan events that have been held through out the centuries.
In fact the Gathering of the Tribes is similar to other modern pagan gatherings such as the Pagan Spirit Gathering that celebrates the Summer Solstice. There pagans of all different faiths come together for drum and dance rituals, rites of passage, rituals celebrating masculinity and femininity. This gathering also brings together pagans of all different faiths to celebrate their common beliefs and ritual systems.
The similarities between the Gathering of the Tribes, the Pagan Spirit Gathering, and other modern pagan gatherings is no coincidence. As we said before these modern day meetings draw much from the ancient gatherings of druids and other pagans. Hearkening back to time when pagan religions like witchcraft were the dominant belief systems in the west. Where tribes from all over would come together to celebrate nature at a special time or place.
Pagan gatherings in ancient times may have even been the basis for other festivals and traditions that the average person knows today. Summer fairs and winter festivals where families come together for rides and other fun all have roots in pagan gatherings. So the Gathering of the Tribes and the Pagan Spirit Gathering are not as strange as they might first appear to people outside the pagan belief system.
When trying to describe pagan gatherings to people outside the faith this might be the best place to start. Explaining that they are similar to the family style festivals and fairs that they have come to know. The only difference being that these gatherings are focused on the community of different pagan faiths in the world. All of whom are coming together to celebrate both their uniqueness and the similarities with ritual.
You may even find that your non-pagan friends and family will be interested in joining you at a Gathering. In that case it is always best to educate the non-pagans accompanying you about to expect and what might be expected of them. Starting with explaining the type of rituals that will be performed at the gathering; especially if their will by adult rituals performed such as anything skyclad.
Its important they know what will be happening and that they have a choice about how involved they get. If its their first time at a pagan festival it may be best for them to simply observe from a distance rather than try to get involved. Yet any non-pagans who are attending should still be encouraged to get involved in the festivities to learn about the different faiths in attendance.
As fantastic a way for pagans of all different faiths to come together at gatherings they are also an amazing way for non-pagans to learn. Meetings like the Gathering of the Tribes can wash away huge amounts of the mystery and fear surrounding wicca or other pagan religions. It will be difficult for anyone to maintain prejudice or ignorance towards any pagan faith after attending a gathering for even a short while.
The immense chance for teaching non-pagans at these kinds of gatherings is why we encourage any member of the public to attend pagan gathering. Of course they should always ask the organizers or people attending the gathering for permission to attend if its not publicly advertised. As we said above it also doesn't hurt to know a person who is attending to learn what to expect, which is doubly important if you will be bringing children.
In the end however the most important thing to remember is that pagan events like the Gathering of the Tribes, the Hawkfest Drum and Dance, or the Phoenix Phyre Gathering of Pagans are about community. People of all different faiths and practices coming together at a special time to celebrate. So no matter your beliefs you will be welcome and able to join in the celebration.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat at the Triple Rock, 6/26/10
Photo courtesy of the artist
Quintron is famous for being an unrestrained type of genius, spreading his patented (literally) badass garage dance or swamp tech to all corners of the globe or at least America, organs and their Cadillac façade and soulmate and talking puppet stage in tow. Quintron and Miss Pussycat will bring you to a special place if you're good and ready and ready to give; a Nola-sprung posi-communion tuned to sweat and shake where the squarest of left feet end keeping time and jumping out of line. They want to get you where their heads are all the time, but they're not gonna force it. At the Triple Rock Saturday, they didn't.
"We. Are. Ready." With that Miss Pussycat began the night with her brilliant puppet show, her face attached to a little puppet body making introductions and throwing it off to a tiger kitty and white elephant just about to practice their party magick. "How 'bout we make some secret pizza right now?" "OK, go ahead and cast the spell!" "Pizza pizza pizza pie, effin' hexin' me of my, jungle mungle really high." And wizbang! Albino elephant and tiger kitty are up to their ears in secret pizza. Three cops died. You have to be there, I think. The effect Miss Pussycat's puppet show has on a crowd of twenty- and thirtysomethings is incredible and inspiring, a vibe so beautifully, childishly enthralled the closest analogue would be seeing your first Children's Theatre production in elementary school or playacting in the woods. In our fast-paced and regurgitative culture these moments seem so hugely lost that when they do occur, you're feeling it for days. It's something I think we require now more than ever, a salve and balm for our burned-out brains.
Following the puppet show (one final note on that: at the end of all of her performances the puppet stage becomes a talking puppet, something so genius and meta and surprising maybe we should invent an award for it) Quintron got behind the mobster Cadillac that serves as his central console where a Hammond and a Rhodes reside, wearing his usual uniform of mechanic jumpsuit, a shimmering bandana around his neck, and began a four-minute industrial introduction leading straight into Too Thirsty 4 Love's "Waterfall". (I took a video of their intro, but didn't post it because Miss Pussycat politely asked everyone to refrain from recording any portion of their show, which is understandable. You have to be there, and it's misrepresentation otherwise.)
The Triple Rock was not packed. That's one of like two things necessary for a Quintron show to be a Quintron Show. The other is an audience more than ready to lose their shit. It being a Saturday night and everything I assumed that's what we would get, but it just didn't connect for most of the hour or so set. It could have been when the Drum Buddy blew a fuse, requiring Quintron to pause the show briefly to replace it (the Drum Buddy is Quintron's patented light-powered analog drum synthesizer, a piece of musical wizardry that could only come from the brain that brought you the Spit Machine saliva-powered hand organ - google that shit). It could have had to do with the Triple Rock; I've only ever seen Quintron play the Entry, a space that gets packed so easily the requisite sweatiness and jitters are practically guaranteed. But the Triple Rock, when it's not sold out, lets you move around and find a nice space a few feet from your neighbor and gently nod your head in time to the provided entertainment. Or it may have been me, pickled and a little tired. NOT CONDUCIVE TO A QUINTRON SHOW. While a bummer, it's not the end of the world: these two children of light and magic come through town twice a year usually. Let's give them something to shake and freak for next time.
Personal bias: The same as everyone's.

It's 12:53 at night, I'm drinking some strange german(?) soda, Let's Write A New Description SON.
HEYO. The name's Phillip.
Phillip Messenger to be exact. Or if you want to be fancy you can call me Phil, Fesnap, Felipe, Felipe John Jones, Phillip McNulty, or Master Senpai Subtle.
I'm 19 years old with enough retarded tales of misfortune to tell, it could fill a small book.
As a 19 yr old skrub I am able to purchase M rated games, Watch R rated movies, Smoke, and More Importantly...Be able to buy Sharpies from Walmart!
I draw Horses. Colourful Horsies....Pastel Coloured Horsies....FIGHT ME
I mainly do traditional stuff with pencils, charcoal and even inkwell pens.
I like girls.....and I am currently sINGLE READY TO MINGLE
Generally I like most music....Excluding a huge chunk of most music produced. So....I like some music. I really don't like reggae, country, rap, or hip hop. It's meh at best.
Video Games are my specialty; I like most games....Except Heavy Rain, Ride to Hell Retribution, Big Rigs, basically anything made by David Cage, "Moba" games (they are meh to me), Minecraft (it's overdone to the nth degree), and that one Steam Greenlight game that you can "shower with your dad".
I have acquired 9 sketch books over the past 5 years I have been drawing and in them amount to over 30 unfinished drawings that will never see the light of day. Suffering and Torment is all they know. Yeah...you guys will never see them.
Slubergulliens that I know in the real life that you should possibly check out:

I would not be surprised. Strategic way to handicap Alibaba
I can vouch for GP, he's been here since 3.
You might be more right than I want to believe. 99% of the time, when I am all out, the stock doubles from there! In the past, I would hold depressed stocks for years only to liquidate everything when I've doubled my investment. I've learnt my lesson and always lock away hold shares and play with trade shares. Honestly, I believe AKS to be a $30-40 stock. When it gets there who knows. But I'll wait this time.
You hit the lottery with that! 12 looks like a done deal, probably much sooner than eoy. Let's hope!
This is one for the record books...personally. To hit a triple in the stock market is rare, and I'm sure glad I sold the farm on this when it was in the high 2's. Took a load off the table today guys...sorry about that, but gotta take some profits in this finicky market! A shoutout to all the old timers here....um, I meant, seasoned veterans! LOL!! Let's take time to celebrate our winnings! I'm off to Miami this weekend, and have plans to explore the islands off the coast. Thanks Wall Street. Thanks AK Steel management. And thanks to short sellers...yes, you're betting against this guy is what makes me richer! Have a great one everybody!
Sentiment: Hold
Stock should be soaring right now, but the Wall Street cons have other plans. Looks like they are going to use Friday to scare weak hands into selling before letting this stock appreciate. If MM manipulate YOKU to 19 or 18 or less, then you should buy first, ask questions later.
The next quarter guidance is even better! There are too many good things going for Youku Tudou, let alone Alibaba's stake. This is clearly a company to hold for the long term.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The Venetian. It was a fantasy bet that came true. Very rare occurrence. I am already making plans to visit Vegas before it gets too hot over there.
They were short on dealers at our caraps table so pit boss announced last shooter before they close our table. I threw a $100 chip on the Hi Lo, and the shooter hit aces. I parlayed that, and the damm-angel-of-a-shooter hits aces again! $45,000 in less than 2 minutes. Nice night in Vegas, still celebrating that.
Haha, funny. Silly bets at the #$%$ table hit, won huge.
I would enjoy it more if my predictions came true! Anyway I have personal formulas devised and my charts show a spurt. In retrospect I was wrong. I suppose you can say I was being greedy and those behind the price action are well aware of my positions. Anyway a profit is a profit, and I'm glad to create support. Had a fantasy come true in Vegas last weekend and that weakened my death grip on much higher price target. Luck elsewhere really does put a perspective on things.
Okay, my prediction was wrong. But the action does indicate that something big is going to happen. Either we jump up a buck or two or (sorry to say this) we drop a buck or two. At this point, I have no faith in this market. I sold several thousand shares and took profits on my $3 positions. IMHO, Wall Street is just too corrupt now, I just don't trust the MM behind AKS. If it goes up, kudos to the rest of you. If it goes down, then I'll have the opportunity to buy those back. GLTA
It's long overdue that AKS announce surprise beat both on top and bottom, plus (and that be a very big PLUS) AK Steel has Ultralume. A pop is going to happen this year, just can't say when. I'm just simply flabbergasted that this is not in mainstream news! But it's very likely AKS gets into the teens before CNBC and the like start ranting and raving about AKS.
My calculations indicate a spike to the mid 8's within the next 7 trading days. Let's see if my prediction comes true.
Anything is possible, but I believe that AK Steel is out of the gutter and will not return. A lot of world issues causing downward pressure on the entire market, and AKS has been relatively strong and holding. What most people do not consider when a company offers a secondary is the possibility of expansion. You have to believe that AKS is growing again, and the price increases will make them money. I see this stock in the $8's by end of next week.
Youku Tudou is favored by the Chinese government and I believe this stock to have a valuation of $45-50. Jack Ma and other insiders are likely accumulating Yoku shares here. It's a strong buy here, and any further pullbacks are screaming buys. But as usual, most retailers just sit and watch.
Shareholders have to actually vote in the affirmative for this secondary to happen. If they don't vote or vote against, then the secondary will not be offered, and THEN it will be more difficult for AK Steel to move forward faster. They will move forward, but slower. If you're tired of the lagging, and you want this company to sprint forward, stop thinking about share dilution and vote FOR board's recommendation.
One more thing, the book value is much higher than $7. When we talk about dilution, it is not necessarily based on present price. You have to take into account all the manipulations that have occurred over the years, and based on my calculations, we are at least $5/share away from "balance".
Vote FOR Proposal 5. Vote FOR Board's Recommendations. This stock is headed to teens.
steelerman, AKS is just another stock, totally divorced from management. The insiders don't care about shareholders, and mind you, I'm talking about the moms and pops. Those large institutional shareholders buy/sell on insider information. Illegal, yes, but the SEC doesn't care. Every once in a while they'll arrest a Goldman underling, but the corrupt game will go on as usual. Your US government gets bribed to let them steal from you by rigging the markets. Having said all the above, why do you still risk playing this game? Because you CAN make money. I have, and I'm sure you have too. The stock market is a long term, I'd say LIFETIME, game you have to play! There is no end to it! And if you lose your patience, then calm down and remember your strategy. Perhaps reassess it. Like anything else in life, you either have a talent for this or you don't. GL
I believe that that news was put out to prevent saturation. This stock is overdue for a run. Just my gut feeling.
Okay, I don't care what you do, let's just get that out of the way. I am not pumping this stock. I post what I think, maybe just for self gratifying reasons of being correct about something. So short or be long...i don't care.
Recent moves in this stock suggest that is poised to move past $8 and near $9. Yesterday was interesting, in that it didn't go below a point I had mapped out as intense buying pressure. It was a shakeout of weak hands, or at least a major attempt. Large investors surely bought what the market makers had in inventory. Now the market makers will need to profit off those, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it edging toward $10 near earnings. AKS earnings should be good.
Sentiment: Hold
steelsmeel, this stock has pressure to attain a stock price of $11. The moves of late are classic of insider information being contained. If you made money selling at $7, then kudos to you. But patience is a virtue IMHO, when info leaks, you will have wish you waited.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Investors are so confident in the growth of online advertising — and the ability of domainers to capitalize on that trend — that they plan to soon start selling shares of domain-name companies to the public, even in today's volatile market.
The article also discusses domain tasting, typo-squatters and domain hijacking.
I suspect that the savviest investors in such companies will be those who can assess the "break up value" of their respective portfolios.
The aftermarket acquisition analysis of portfolios tends to focus on mutiples of current traffic, which in my book is utter rubbish.
I'd look not only at current traffic but also, in no particular order:
These are just a few considerations.
I'd also look at the ethical track record of management. Did upper management cut their teeth on dubious domains? Did they start off by acquiring dubious domain traffic? Are any of the players "notorious"? The reason I would is because character tends to be a constant and it may be too easy for insiders to bleed "the value" whilst leaving the detritus in such large portfolios.

Election 2010
Harry Reid's 'Elite'; Sharron Angle's 'Extreme': NV Debate
Anyone who hoped Thursday night's Nevada debate between Democrat Sen. Harry Reid and Republican Sharron Angle would decisively shift the contest's dynamics one way or another, propelling one of the candidates to a solid lead, likely came away disappointed Thursday night.
Neither candidate came off as a world-class debater though that wasn't the expectation. Reid, the Senate majority leader, and Angle, the Tea Party-backed candidate, are known for many things but silver-tongued eloquence isn't among them.
In fact, if there was any expectation, it might've been that one of them would have made a substantial gaffe late in the campaign that would have diminished his or her chance to be elected.
But while there were nervous stumbles in the high-stakes match, neither candidate made any fatal blunders.
If one word could sum up the negative idea each candidate wanted voters to come away after the debate, the word "extreme" is what Reid sought to attach to Angle. He cited her past support for privatizing Social Security.
For her part, she wanted voters to view Reid as "elite." One piece of evidence for that, she said, was his residence in the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington.
NPR's Ina Jaffee nicely summed up the debate well in her Morning Edition report.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - Fire investigators are trying to learn what caused a fire that left a Columbus home gutted during the weekend.
Investigators said children were among the occupants of the house when it caught fire Saturday afternoon but they all escaped unharmed.
Battalion Chief Alan Davis said firefighters found flames shooting out of the windows when they arrived at 1:35 p.m. and it took 15 minutes to get the blaze under control.
Fire officials said the home was a total loss.

AbstractQuesTek proposes to apply its Materials by Design® technology to the development of a multiscale modeling architecture of ultra-high strength (UHS) steel corrosion behavior. In Phase I, models developed within this architecture will consider the underlying microstructure and nanostructure of the base steel in determining passive layer composition and thickness. Point defect models (PDMs) will be developed to predict oxide passive film stability (including breakdown conditions). Explicit inputs to the modeling architecture will include the detailed composition and heat treatment conditions of various UHS steels, as well inputs related to the corrosive environment conditions (pH, chloride ion concentration, etc.). Models will be calibrated with QuesTek's extensive database of UHS steel microstructural, nanostructural, and corrosion behavior information.

price point for the room
Very neat old military facility now as hotel; as an Army brat, great to see reuse of spaces like these. However, way overpriced - not worth the list price (----/night) and not really worth the priceline cost (-----) but a special occasion.

Roberto Bolaño, the Chilean expatriate poet, novelist, and literary prankster who died in 2003, has inserted himself into the world's literary consciousness with singular doggedness. Since the U.S. publication in that year of By Night in Chile, in an elegant translation by Chris Andrews, readers here have been able to follow the path of Bolaño's fictional alter ego, Arturo Belano, and a cast of sometimes traumatized, sometimes droll Chilean characters as they bear witness to the overthrow of Chilean democracy. Some of them-including Belano-are imprisoned briefly; others are tortured; some disappear like their real-life counterparts who vanished forever in the months after Augusto Pinochet seized power.
Because I am married to a Chilean who lived through the Pinochet years from the safe and frustrating distance of the United States, Bolaño's work has an uncanny familiarity, but I am not surprised that he has suddenly become so broadly appealing to U.S. readers. His fictions revive the special resonance of that era in Chile for Americans, given the shadowy but significant role our government played in the overthrow of Salvador Allende-they remind us that it is we who now find ourselves dumbfounded by our own government's use of torture, secret prisoner renditions, indefinite detentions.
And then there is the mesmerizing quality of Bolaño's prose, as disturbing as it is fanciful. Drawn to the avant-garde...
