Hi, thanks to the developer of this plugin, it works great!
I only have one problem. I am developing a site where user can register and get an Author level. Problem is, although they can't see another Author's posts, but they can see FAQ section, edit and even make their own "FAQ". Is there any way to resolve this issue?
Note: WP level is 3.0.3, but I also have the same problem when using 3.0.1. The drop down menu doesn't have 3.0.3 option.

Transform two old toilet rolls and a few other recycled bits and bobs into a cool steampunk-inspired robot.
Amaze your kids by transforming two old toilet rolls and a few other recycled bits and bobs into a cool steampunk-inspired robot. Amaze them even further by balancing your robot on the edge of a ruler, table, shelf, or even your finger. And then triple amaze them by rotating the arms and revealing the steel heart in the body of the robot.
This is a fun summer project that's also an excellent way for your kids to improve their understanding of gravity and mechanics. It's also a very flexible project – while I gave my robot all the bells and whistles (literally, there's a whistle on its head), you can easily customize your robot to suit the materials you have available.
Step 1: Take a toilet roll tube and use a compass to draw a circle on one side. Make this circle slightly smaller than the diameter of the tube. Now draw another circle on the opposite side (it can be a bit tricky trying to judge the correct position; just try and be as accurate as you can). Finally, draw a small rectangle between the two circles. This will become the hole that reveals the robot's steel heart. Once you've done that, take a craft knife or scalpel and carefully cut out the two circles and the small rectangle. You have now just completed the most tricky step.
Step 2: Take the second toilet roll and cut along the length of one side (use a pencil and ruler to ensure it is straight). Squeeze the tube slightly, so the edges overlap, and then slide it through the holes of the first tube. Use a pencil to mark where the edges overlap. Pull the tube back out, and then cut off the overlap using a ruler and craft knife. Rejoin the two edges by gluing a strip of card stock over the join along the inside of the tube. Now, shorten the length of this tube. It needs to be about 1" (25mm) longer than the width of the first tube.
Step 3: To make the steel heart for your robot, cut a strip of paper twice as long as the rectangular hole in the vertical tube, and a bit wider. Take a black permanent marker and draw the outline of a heart (and some pipes) onto the paper, as shown here. Then color in with a silver metallic pen. Alternatively, you can spray the paper silver first and then use the black permanent marker to create the outlines. I'd also suggest making the spaces around the pipes and heart black. Once you've finished, glue the paper onto the centre of the horizontal tube and insert it back into the robot's body.
Step 4: Now spray some light-medium cardstock with metallic bronze spray paint. Cut three thin strips and glue them around the ends of the horizontal tube and the base of the vertical tube. To create the brain, cut a strip of silver cardstock (a bit wider than the vertical tube) and fold the ends over to create small tabs. Now cut different sized cogs from the silver and bronze cards and glue them onto this strip. Lastly, apply glue to the tabs and secure the brain into the top of the vertical tube. To create the robot's jaw, cut two rectangular pieces of cardstock and glue them together.

When cookies helped ring in the New Year
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 12:29 a.m.
When the winter time comes and the waters run low, the sweet sickly smell of vintage Louisiana mud rises from the north Lafourche Parish wilderness, traveling on soft cool breezes to the roads where houses stand.
Inside the kitchen of Carrie Loupe, however, there is a different kind of sweetness, as she bakes holiday cookies that everyone here will tell you are among the best to be found anywhere.
Now 77-years-old, Carrie -- everyone here calls her "Keet" -- has baked these cookies for 60 years.
"I learned from my grandmother," she said. "All the little animals, we used to make them and give them away to the kids."
Soft and tenderly sweet, the cookies have roots in a holiday tradition now abandoned on these bayous, absent as the ice that once coated the waters which nobody ever sees anymore.
Carrie said shes not so sure this is because of global warming, because when Lake Des Allemands was frozen over some many years ago, they all said -- whoever "they" is -- that it was a 100-year freeze, so she figures this is really more evidence of a cycle than a cataclysm.
But she also acknowledges that she is not a meteorologist or geologist, but a maker of cookies, as well as a holder of memories like this tradition that they called "Bon Année."
Its pronounced like "bon a-NAY," and is a Cajun French approximation of Happy New Year.
"We used to get up early in the morning and travel early to go to church first," Carrie said of this New Years tradition. "Even though it was real cold when we come back from church, we took a pillowcase or a little brown paper bag or anything we could carry. We would go from house to house and say "Bon Année, Bon Année, and they would put us a cookie in our bag. We ate those cookies for a whole month they had so many."
There were very few houses in Kraemer then, and the children would travel long distances to get from house to house, unmindful of sometimes bitterly cold weather, according to Carries recollection.
"Half the time it was a dirt road and it was cold. We used to walk in the ice and we would break the ice with our foot, and when we came home Mama said ëYou have to scrub your feet now. She would use a scrubbing brush on our feet, and let me tell you that hurt. But it was all really something to look forward to, and I wish it was still like that."
Baking the cookies that Kraemer craves in her kitchen, Carrie passed a look at her husband, Eugene Loupe.
A former gas-company worker who was so devoted to his job they wanted to bring him when the firm moved to Texas, Eugene spends a lot of time fishing these days. When alligators are in season he hunts them, as well.
The alligator-hunting tradition is a lot healthier these days than the Bon Année, which is no longer practiced in these parts.
"It ended when they started that stupid trick-or-treat," Carrie said. "They started that tradition and I was against it all the while, and after they did it a few years I did not like it."
A few years ago Carrie tried to revive the tradition and word spread all over Kraemer that New Years cookies -- or more appropriately Bon Année cookies -- would be available at Carries house.
"I told everyone ëHappy New Year, and I am going to give you some cookies, " said Carrie. "I had a bunch of old ladies that came, but no kids."
"I heard a lot of people say they wish the tradition would come back," she said. "We do all wish it would come back, but then you would have to make a lot more cookies because theres a lot more people in Kraemer now."

The 2000 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 2000, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November.[1] These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
The scope of this article is limited to the Pacific Ocean, north of the equator and west of the international date line. Storms that form east of the date line and north of the equator are called hurricanes; see 2000 Pacific hurricane season. Tropical Storms formed in the entire west pacific basin are assigned a name by the Tokyo Typhoon Center. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. Tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine area of responsibility are assigned a name by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA. This can often result in the same storm having two names.

Seasonal summary[edit]
In storm information below, wind-speed advisories differ from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to the JMA as the JTWC uses the United States' criteria of 1-minute means to designate maximum sustained winds, while the JMA uses the 10-minute mean wind criteria to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained winds. This difference generally results in JTWC maximum winds appearing higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same typhoon.
Typhoon Damrey (Asiang)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
|May 4 – May 12
|Peak intensity
|165 km/h (105 mph) (10-min) 930 hPa (mbar)
The first storm of the season started out as a tropical low near Palau on May 3, when the JTWC first gave the system a poor chance of formation. However within the next few hours the low quickly organized, and the next day the JMA recognized the low as a depression. Operationally it wasn't until May 5 that the JTWC issued its first warning for the newly formed depression. Drifting northwest the depression gradually organized into a tropical storm on May 6. It was given the name Asiang on May 6 by PAGASA [2] and Damrey on May 7 by the JMA, respectively. At this time a weakening sub-tropical ridge was moving northward causing Damrey to move in a northeasterly direction. Damrey became a typhoon early on May 8 and soon thereafter satellite images began to show an eye forming at the center. During the next 24 hours Damrey quite steadily intensified, reaching winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) by May 9. The system became very symmetrical and small, allowing the typhoon to reach a peak intensity of 180 mph (290 km/h) and gusts as high as 220 mph late on May 9. Due to the compact structure of the typhoon it would only take twenty-four hours of high vertical wind shear, from a nearby high pressure, to reduce Damrey to a tropical storm. The convection continue to decrease around the LLCC and the system picked up in forward momentum under deteriorating environment.[3] By May 12 Damrey became fully extra-tropical and eventually dissipated on May 16.[4]
Damrey was the strongest May typhoon since Typhoon Phyllis in 1958 but Phyllis had higher wind speeds of 295 km/h (185 mph). Damrey had no significant effects on land in its life.
Tropical Storm Longwang (Biring)[edit]
|Tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|May 17 – May 20
|Peak intensity
|85 km/h (50 mph) (10-min) 990 hPa (mbar)
On May 15, a monsoonal trough associated with a low pressure area formed north west of the Philippines. On May 17 the low pressure area started to drift across the northern Philippines, and rapidly intensified into a tropical storm before quickly dissipating due to vertical wind shear on May 20. The remnants were soon absorbed by a non-tropical low on May 22 and destroyed Lumia Airport.
Tropical Depression 03W (Konsing)[edit]
|Tropical depression (PAGASA)
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|May 21 – May 22
|Peak intensity
|55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min) 1002 hPa (mbar)
On May 20, a low pressure area formed south of Hong Kong and drifted west towards the Philippines. On May 21 the low pressure area rapidly organized and strengthened into a tropical depression. However it quickly dissipated due to vertical wind shear.
Tropical Depression 04W[edit]
|Tropical depression (JMA)
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|May 30 – June 1
|Peak intensity
|55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min) 1001 hPa (mbar)
Tropical Depression[edit]
|Tropical depression (HKO)
|June 17 – June 18
|Peak intensity
|55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min) 1000 hPa (mbar)
A vortex in an active trough over the South China Sea developed into a midget tropical depression on June 18, 35 km south-southwest of Hong Kong. It moved northward and made landfall that day, with its very small circulation being well captured by the Observatory's network of automatic weather stations. The depression brought light rain to Hong Kong and moderate winds. Although this tropical depression was widely recognised by Asian agencies, there are still disputes on the nature of this system. It had an unusually small size and formed surprisingly close to land.

Typhoon Kirogi (Ditang)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
|July 2 – July 8
|Peak intensity
|155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min) 940 hPa (mbar)
On June 30, an area of disturbed weather was identified roughly 650 km (405 mi) east of the Philippine island of Mindanao. This system gradually organized as it remained stationary, prompting the JTWC to issue a TCFA the following day. The JMA and JTWC began monitoring the disturbance as a tropical depression early on July 2, with the former classifying it as 05W. Several hours later, PAGASA also issued their first advisory on the depression, giving it the local name Ditang. Tracking northward, the system intensified into a tropical storm, at which time it received the name Kirogi, before undergoing rapid intensification late on July 3. Following this phase, the storm attained typhoon intensity and developed a well-defined 59 km (37 mi) wide symmetrical eye. Typhoon Kirogi attained its peak intensity early on July 4 with winds of 155 km/h (100 mph 10-minute sustained) and a barometric pressure of 940 mbar (hPa; 27.76 inHg).
In Japan, hundreds of residents were evacuated as Typhoon Kirogi approached the country. Since the storm weakened considerably from its peak intensity, damage was much less than initially anticipated. In all, damages from the storm amounted to 15 billion (2001 JPY, $140 million USD).[5]
Typhoon Kai-tak (Edeng)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
|July 3 – July 10
|Peak intensity
|140 km/h (85 mph) (10-min) 960 hPa (mbar)
On July 2,a low pressure area formed north west of the Philippines and became a tropical depression on July 3 and started to drift northward, becoming a storm on the 5th and a typhoon on the 6th. Kai-tak continued northward, hitting Taiwan on the 9th. Kai-tak dissipated on the 11th over the Yellow Sea. It was named after Hong Kong's old international airport, Kai Tak Airport.
The combined effects of Kai-tak and Tropical Depression Gloring led to the collapse of a large garbage pile, devastating a scavenger community with 300 shanty homes near Manila. At least 116 peopled died in the avalanche—some of whom were decapitated by machinery—and at least 73 others were injured.[6]
Tropical Depression 07W (Gloring)[edit]
|Tropical depression (PAGASA)
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|July 11 – July 13
|Peak intensity
|55 km/h (35 mph) (10-min) 999 hPa (mbar)
Cloudiness of TD Gloring (07W) affected Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Bicol Region, and Parts of Visayas. No damage and no casualties were affected.
Tropical Depression 08W[edit]
|Tropical depression (HKO)
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|July 14 – July 17
|Peak intensity
|45 km/h (30 mph) (10-min) 995 hPa (mbar)
On July 13 an area of low pressure formed over Luzon and moved north west,and strengthened into a tropical depression on July 14.Tropical Depression 08w made landfall over Yangjiang, Guangdong, China on July 17 and dissipated inland.
Tropical Storm Tembin[edit]
|Tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|July 17 – July 23
|Peak intensity
|75 km/h (45 mph) (10-min) 992 hPa (mbar)
On July 13 a cluster of thunderclouds grouped together to form a low pressure area.On July 14 it started to organize and slowly became a tropical depression on July 19,and quickly intensified into a tropical storm. On July 22 convection was displaced to south of the storm's center due to high wind shear, and caused it to dissipate.
Tropical Depression 10W[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|July 20 – July 22
|Peak intensity
|45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min) 1000 hPa (mbar)
JTWC treated 10W and 11W as separate depressions, although PAGASA and JMA both considered them the same system. On July 25, 11W became Severe Tropical Storm Bolaven.
Severe Tropical Storm Bolaven (Huaning)[edit]
|Severe tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|July 24 – July 31
|Peak intensity
|95 km/h (60 mph) (10-min) 980 hPa (mbar)
On July 17, a disturbance with a large area of rotation formed south east of the Philippines.On July 24, favorable conditions allow the disturbance to quickly organize so it became a tropical depression the next day.
Tropical Storm Chanchu[edit]
|Tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|July 27 – July 30
|Peak intensity
|65 km/h (40 mph) (10-min) 996 hPa (mbar)
The remnants of Upana encountered a favourable environment just west of the dateline, and they formed Tropical Depression 12W. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Chanchu. The name Chanchu, submitted by Macau, is a Chinese word for pearl. Chanchu moved north, and had dissipated by July 30.
Gary Padgett suggested that there was good evidence Chanchu was actually a regeneration of Upana. The official policy is that dateline crossers keep their name. However, there was supposedly some doubt at the time so Chanchu and Upana were officially treated as distinct tropical cyclones. Also, since Upana had dissipated several days earlier, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center had already assigned a new number for the system, Gary Padgett deemed it likely that the Japan Meteorological Agency's decision to rename the cyclone was the best choice. Also, a scatterometer pass near 0500 UTC on the 23rd indicated an open wave with no closed circulation [1], which justifies the official decision not to treat Chanchu as the continuation of Upana.
Typhoon Jelawat[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 4 typhoon (SSHWS)
|July 31 – August 12
|Peak intensity
|155 km/h (100 mph) (10-min) 940 hPa (mbar)
On July 29, a cluster of thunderstorms quickly formed into a low pressure area, which became Tropical Depression 12W on August 1. Favorable conditions allowed the system to rapidly intensify, and it was named Jelawat. On August 2, it reached its peak intensity as a Category 4 typhoon. On August 3, Jelawat weakened into a category 2 typhoon due to unfavorable wind shear. On August 6, Jelawat restrengthened into a category 3 typhoon due to more favorable conditions, and started to develop a large eye which was 60 kilometers across. Weak steering winds soon caused Jelawat to move slowly from August 7 to August 8. On August 7, Jelawat underwent an eyewall replacement cycle for 4 hours, and began to display annular characteristics, with a large, symmetric eye 170 kilometers across surrounded by a thick ring of intense convection. After developing a large, symmetric eye, Jelawat strengthened again from a category 1 typhoon, to a category 2 typhoon, but soon weakened into a category 1 typhoon, as it encountered wind shear. It made landfall at southern Shanghai and rapidly weaken
Tropical Depression 14W[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|August 8 – August 10
|Peak intensity
|55 km/h (35 mph) (1-min) 1000 hPa (mbar)
Tropical Depression 14W developed on August 8. It moved on a parabolic path before dissipating on August 10.
Typhoon Ewiniar[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
|August 9 – August 18
|Peak intensity
|120 km/h (75 mph) (10-min) 975 hPa (mbar)
Typhoon Ewiniar developed on August 9. It strengthened into a typhoon while moving northward. Ewiniar weakened and eventually curved east-northeastward. The typhoon re-intensified, but dissipated on August 18.
Tropical Depression 16W (Wene)[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|August 15 – August 15
|Peak intensity
|45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min)
A tropical disturbance developed in the Western Pacific Ocean along the eastern periphery of the monsoon trough in mid-August. Located at 33° north, it steadily organized, and became Tropical Depression Sixteen-W on August 15 while located 1700 miles to the northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. It moved eastward along the west- east oriented surface pressure trough, and crossed the International Date Line later on the 15th. Warmer than usual water temperatures allowed the system to intensify despite its unusually high latitude, and it became Tropical Storm Wene on the 16th. It quickly attained a peak intensity of 50 mph, but weakened due to cooler waters and wind shear. Wene continued to weaken, and dissipated when the storm merged with an extratropical cyclone.
As a depression, Wene was the first western Pacific tropical cyclone to cross the dateline since the 1996 season, and the most recent to do so until Tropical Storm Omeka in the 2010 season. The name Wene is Hawaiian for "Wayne".
Tropical Depression 17W[edit]
|Tropical depression (SSHWS)
|August 17 – August 19
|Peak intensity
|45 km/h (30 mph) (1-min) 1002 hPa (mbar)
Tropical Depression 17W existed from August 17 to August 19. It did not make landfall and it dissipated quickly. No victims were recorded during the storm's short lifespan.
Typhoon Bilis (Isang)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)
|August 18 – August 25
|Peak intensity
|205 km/h (125 mph) (10-min) 920 hPa (mbar)
On August 14,a low pressure area formed south of the Mariana islands and started to organize.On August 17 the low pressure area became a tropical depression and as it tracked northwestward, becoming a tropical storm on the 18th and a typhoon on the 19th. Favorable conditions allow Bilis continued to intensify to a super typhoon on the 21st, and it struck the southeastern coast of Taiwan as a Category 5 typhoon on the 22nd. It weakened slightly to a 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) typhoon while crossing the country, and hit China on the 23rd. Significant rainfall fell across Taiwan, as up to 949 millimetres (37.4 in) was recorded across northeast sections of the mountainous island.[7] Bilis was responsible for 17 deaths and $133.5 million in damage on Taiwan. The flooding was significant and an unknown number of people drowned in the flooding.
Tropical Storm Kaemi[edit]
|Tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 19 – August 23
|Peak intensity
|75 km/h (45 mph) (10-min) 985 hPa (mbar)
On August 19, a low pressure area formed west of the Philippines. Favorable conditions allow the low pressure area to strengthen into a tropical depression on August 20.Kaemi made landfall over Vietnam on August 21 and it was reported that tropical storm Kaemi killed 14 people in Vietnam.[8]
Typhoon Prapiroon (Lusing)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 1 typhoon (SSHWS)
|August 24 – September 1
|Peak intensity
|130 km/h (80 mph) (10-min) 965 hPa (mbar)
On August 24 a large area of disturbed weather formed south of the Philippine sea Prapiroon killed 46 people and caused $6 billion in damages in Korea, China and the Philippines.
Tropical Storm Maria[edit]
|Tropical storm (JMA)
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 27 – September 2
|Peak intensity
|75 km/h (45 mph) (10-min) 985 hPa (mbar)
The origins of Maria appeared to originate from the inland remnants of Typhoon Bilis, which was pulled south due to the Fujiwhara effect between Typhoon Prapiroon. The low pressure area entered the South China Sea as it drifted south over Hong Kong on August 27. As it was pulled south to the South China Sea, it quickly strengthened into a tropical storm on August 30. Maria made landfall on September 1 east of Hong Kong.
Typhoon Saomai (Osang)[edit]
|Typhoon (JMA)
|Category 5 super typhoon (SSHWS)

Favorable conditions allowed the low to strengthen into a tropical depression on September 17, and to intensify into a typhoon early on September 20. Shanshan reached peak intensity on September 21 as a Category 4 super typhoon. Due to the Fujiwhara effect, Shanshan was weakened by an extratropical cyclone located south of Kamchatka Krai, and Shanshan merged with it and collapsed into a single extratropical cyclone.

Storm names[edit]
Within the North-western Pacific Ocean, both the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assign names to tropical cyclones that develop in the Western Pacific, which can result in a tropical cyclone having two names.[9] The Japan Meteorological Agency's RSMC Tokyo — Typhoon Center assigns international names to tropical cyclones on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee, should they be judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h, (40 mph).[10] While the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration assigns names to tropical cyclones which move into or form as a tropical depression in their area of responsibility located between 135°E and 115°E and between 5°N-25°N even if the cyclone has had an international name assigned to it.[9] The names of significant tropical cyclones are retired, by both PAGASA and the Typhoon Committee.[10] Should the list of names for the Philippine region be exhausted then names will be taken from an auxiliary list of which the first ten are published each season. Unused names are marked in gray.
International names[edit]
During the season 23 named tropical cyclones developed in the Western Pacific and were named by the Japan Meteorological Agency, when it was determined that they had become tropical storms. These names were contributed to a list of a 140 names submitted by the fourteen members nations and territories of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee.
|Yerling (unused)
|Auxiliary list
|Aring (unused)
|Basiang (unused)
|Kadiang (unused)
|Dorang (unused)
|Enang (unused)
|Grasing (unused)
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration uses its own naming scheme for tropical cyclones in their area of responsibility. PAGASA assigns names to tropical depressions that form within their area of responsibility and any tropical cyclone that might move into their area of responsibility. Should the list of names for a given year prove to be insufficient, names are taken from an auxiliary list, the first 10 of which are published each year before the season starts. This is the same list used for the 1996 season. This is the last season that the PAGASA uses its own naming scheme that starts in Filipino alphabet, with names of Filipino female names ending with "ng" (A, B, K, D, etc.). The 2001 season is the official start of their new naming scheme that starts with the English Alphabet. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.

Pen and Paper
Maki says progress is the best motivator. Keeping an ongoing exercise log is the best way for a person to see that they are getting more physically fit, he explains. In a journal or notebook, he recommends that people write down what exercise they did, for how long, and how they felt afterward. They should review their entries on a regular basis, looking for signs of burnout and sources of pride, such as increasingly longer and more enjoyable workouts.
College student Claudia Acosta of Chino, CA, has found that keeping a written list of her workout goals has helped her stay consistent. In addition, she prints out a weekly exercise schedule and posts it on her refrigerator.
"I check off the days that I exercise," she explains. "It makes me feel like I have to do it," she adds. And, when she isn't able to check off a workout, she is all the more driven to exercise.
Enter Technology
People can now take advantage of the advances in computers and other electronics to become more conscientious. The popular heart monitor, for example, alerts its owner when it hasn't been used for three days.
Judging by the variety of virtual training, which keeps tabs on people via email, it may be the wave of the future. Some web sites offer individualized training programs for a monthly fee that entitle the customer to benefit from workout planning and motivational phone calls from a trainer. These programs also offer email updates to the program based on the client's progress. Other sites sell fitness products and offer free assessments based on data entered by the user. Health indices such as the client's body mass index and waist-to-hip ratios are calculated, and nutritional and activity goals are recommended based on that data.
Whatever the technique, making a lifestyle change takes time, Maki says. But once people get into a routine, he adds, "the greatest motivation will be seeing the results."

Skip to comments.Carbon Trade Ends on Quiet Death of Chicago Climate Exchange
Posted on 11/07/2010 9:34:59 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
Republican mid-term election joy deals financial uncertainty among green investors as the Chicago Climate Exchange announces the end of U.S. carbon trading.
The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) announced on October 21, 2010 that it will cease carbon trading this year. However, Steve Milloy reporting on Pajamasmedia.com (November 6, 2010) finds this huge story strangely unreported by the mainstream media.
To some key analysts the collapse of the CCX appears to show that international carbon trading is dying a quiet death. Yet Milloy finds that such a major business failure has drawn no interest at all from the mainstream media. Milloy noted that a Nexis search conducted a week after CCXs announcement revealed no news articles published about its demise.
Not until November 02, 2010 had the story even been picked up briefly and that was by Chicagobusiness.com (Crains). Reporter, Paul Merrion appeared to find some comfort that while CCX will cease all trading of new emission allowances at the end of the year, it will continue trading carbon offsets generated by projects that consume greenhouse gases, such as planting trees.
Barack Obama was a board member of the Joyce Foundation that funded the fledgling CCX. Professor Richard Sandor, of Northwestern University had started the business with $1.1 million in grants from the Chicago-based left-wing Joyce Foundation enthusiastically endorsed by Obama. When founded in November 2000, CCXs carbon trading market was predicted to grow anywhere between $500 billion and $10 trillion. Fortunately before its collapse Sandor was able to net $98.5 million for his 16.5% stake when CCX was sold.
(Excerpt) Read more at suite101.com ...
Well, that's one business I'm happy to see fail.
Dont believe it.
Obama is even now trying to find more gullible folks in the world market.
The whole problem is that carbon can only be successfully traded when it is in a useful form. Trading some amorphous "carbon", the ownership of which is only represented by a certificate, but which cannot be truly possessed doesn't make sense to most people. But trading carbon in the form of, for instance, food or furniture leaves people feeling like they got something of value for their money.
Me too. What a scam.
Phony business...phony market.. phony investors.
Australia dumps Carbon Trading Scheme
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
That article takes Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Those four articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article pretty much puts the kibosh on any serious trend of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign at all of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? Beyond the centuries long slow warming of the earth and rising of the seas of course. But that is only a few millimeters per century due to the inter-glacial period we are in.
"Barack Obama was a board member of the Joyce Foundation that funded the fledgling CCX. Professor Richard Sandor, of Northwestern University had started the business with $1.1 million in grants from the Chicago-based left-wing Joyce Foundation enthusiastically endorsed by Obama. When founded in November 2000, CCXs carbon trading market was predicted to grow anywhere between $500 billion and $10 trillion.'
Remember who he worked with at the Joyce Foundation?
Word 'on the street' is that there will be things come to light - now that obambie will no long have Congress to protect his back - that will take him down and that this information will come from Chicago....
Did RAhm scoot back to Chicago 'cause he wants to run for mayor or to do some damage control? Do they think that by closing the exchange now that the records can be buried?
The person from the inside that told a reporter that the "WON" will go down and that Chicgao is where it will lead - said also to look into Blaggo, Resko and that gang.
the rats are on the run - and will eat their own to survive.
.. Ping and hooray !! Hope the demise is truly and eternally terminal.
* Joyce Foundation : The [Chicago Climate] Exchange [aka CCX] owes it existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation philanthropy that provided $347,000 in grant support in 2000 for a preliminary study to test the viability of a market in carbon credits. On the CCX board of directors is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong, a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who since the 1970s has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement. ...Provided grant support to test the market in carbon credits. Barack Hussein Obama sat on their Board for 8 years.-—— http://blog.newyorkcitycommunity.us/2008/09/20/jon-corzine-and-hot-airperfect-together.aspx

Sandor on permanent vacation? Moving on to the next scam?
Where's Gomer Pyle?
Surprise, surprise, surprise! You can't even get the mainstream media to admit it was all a hoax.
bwaaa ha haa haaaaaa
can we hope that Albore will end up bankrupt, or has he already cashed out his various fraudulent "investments" to put the money in other holdings?
The House will, please God, hold thorough, excruciatingly detailed hearings on Climategate and the role of the Associated Press in promoting the AGW fraud.Note to Congressmen: The Associated Press is the homogenizing influence which suppresses ideological diversity within journalism. The AP was found by SCOTUS to be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act back in 1945. Back, that is, when the conservation of communication bandwidth still was arguably a valuable function. Now, with the Internet, bandwidth is virtually free in comparison - and the AP need no longer be "too big to fail."
Wonder if Al bailed out before the crash.
Get'em while they're Hot!
I trust AG took this in the financial shorts!
I certainly hope so............
So what happens to the carbon credits that were traded? I'm sure there w money involved too, who got taken?
Hope some big names lost big bucks...
NOT SO FAST! It will be dead when Obama is out of the WHite House.
This is more strategy of getting t e issue below the horizon of public attack, amnd is in ,m,itigation of scandel at the white house, Obamas buddies standto make BILLIONS! They will not give it up so easily.Look for their plan "B" and "C" and "D".
Link PLEASE!
Thank you.
Just the fact this story isn't much reported is sufficient to make me believe it's more sleight of hand by the Leftists. Perhaps another diversion.
We shall see.
Who is at the center of this decades old plan to cap residential air, and then trade its carbon footprints? Glenn Beck says, "Barack Obama was the one on the board of the Joyce Foundation that secured the initial funding for this project."
Al Gore and other founders of Generation Investment Management, a London company, along with Goldman Sachs were investors in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCEx), the Obama driven project. Incidentally, how big is the carbon footprint of Gore's newly purchased 9 million dollar mansion in Montecito, CA? Will he split it with Tipper? Did his purchase coincide with the profits he made when CCEx folded into ICE, the International Climate Exchange? The now dead Carlton Bartels invented a system to trade residential carbon credits. His widow sold it to Franklin Raines, .. CEO ... Fannie Mae meltdown.
The day after the Democrats took control of Congress, Nov. 7, 2006, the patent was approved..... "Fannie Mae, who is congressionally mandated to 'make housing more affordable,' is poised to reap billions on a system that has nothing to do with housing except for that it would make housing costs go up," Beck says. He recently revealed Fannie Mae also holds patents on energy locking devices which would allow government bureaucrats to shut off electricity to individual homes deemed to be using too much juice.
Getting back the "key" or turn-back-on device could become a bureaucratic nightmare while our private citizens sit in the dark and return to a third world existence in what was once the world's most developed country!
It may be interesting to note that CCEx which has merged with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) "[was] a veritable rat's nest of cronyism." The largest shareholder was Goldman Sachs. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley

Well, Im going to go after a lot of things and Im going to do a lot of investigating, but I think finishing off the Angelo Mozilo, Friends of Angelo Program where it created the financial meltdown in no small part because Fannie and Freddie took huge amounts of bad loans and are continuing to have losses I think we have to bring that to a successful conclusion and make sure that doesnt happen again.
Chaffetz and Issa Seek Information on Fannie Mae Executives Inventing New Cap & Trade System
Chaffetz.house.gov ^ | 05/14/10 | Chaffetz/Issa
Washington, DCToday, Rep. Chaffetz (R-UT), along with Rep. Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to David Kappos, the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as Michael Williams, President and CEO of Fannie Mae, seeking information concerning a patent issued to Fannie Mae regarding a residential Cap and Trade system.
On June 7, 2005, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Patent No. 6,904,336 for a System and Method for Residential Emissions Trading. The patent was assigned to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and CO2e.com, LLC of New York. The patent lists former Fannie Mae Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Franklin D. Raines as the primary inventor. Former Fannie Mae executives Scott Lesmes and Robert Sahadi are also listed as inventors.
I have serious questions about why Fannie Mae, back in 2005, was working on a Cap and Trade scheme, said Rep. Chaffetz. Why would they be spending their resources on something that is well outside of the scope of Fannie Maes charter? We want to see all the information relating to the patents issued to these inventive former Fannie Mae executives?
Having ventured far beyond sub-prime lending policies, Fannie Mae appears to have served as a full-blown liberal think tank for crony-capitalist ideas, said Rep. Issa. While the crony-capitalist Democrats who ran Fannie Mae like Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson used these kinds of ideas to enrich themselves, it was the American taxpayers who were left holding the bag after they failed. Its disturbing that Fannie Mae executives were positioning themselves in 2005 for financial gain from an Obama Administration cap-and-trade system, but given the huge amount of campaign contributions Fannie Mae poured over President Obama it should be no surprise.

Assembling the Team
During 2000 and 2001, the Joyce Foundation, a progressive trust with assets near $1 billion, known for funding groups like Center for American Progress and Tides Foundation, provided grants to CCX totaling $1.1 million. State Senator Obama served on the foundations board of directors during that time and was instrumental in awarding the grants.
Shortly after the first grant was approved, the president of The Joyce Foundation, Paula DiPerna, left to join the executive team of CCX. Other notables with familiar names soon followed.
Former Vice-President Al Gore became part-owner of CCX when his company, Generation Investment Management, made a sizeable investment. Gore brought with him his senior partner at GIM, David Blood, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, along with a company chalk full of former Goldman Sachs executives
Goldman Sachs itself soon joined the team buying a ten percent interest in CCX
Maurice Strong, once linked to Tongsun Park, the central figure in the United Nations oil-for-food scandal in 2005 and one of the architects of the Kyoto Protocol, joined the CCX board of directors
Carlton Bartels was one of the first, and perhaps most important, additions to the CCX roster. As CEO of a company called CO2e, Bartels developed and delivered the actual guts of the exchange a system for facilitating and managing the actual carbon trades
Strange Bedfellows
Just three weeks after filing for a patent for his carbon trade system, Bartels was killed during the attacks of 9/11. Bartels death opened the door for a new partner to join CCX, easily the oddest fit of them all: Fannie Mae. In a move still unexplained, the quasi-governmental mortgage agency, led by CEO Franklin Raines, purchased the rights to the system from Bartels widow. A patent on the invention was granted to Raines and Fannie Mae on November 7, 2006, ironically, the day after the Democrats regained control of Congress. According to Barbara Hollingsworth of the Washington Examiner, the patent covers both the cap and trade parts of Obamas top domestic energy initiative and gives Fannie Mae proprietary control over the automated trading system used by Sandors CCX.
When asked about the patent recently Fannie Mae communications director Amy Bonitatibus told the Washington Examiner, Fannie Mae earns no money on this patent. We cant conjecture as to the cap-and-trade legislation. A source close to Fannie Mae, however, says a plan is in place to funnel future earnings from the patent to a non-profit housing organization called Enterprise Community Partners. Ironically, Raines, who left Fannie Mae in 2004 amidst allegations that he inflated earnings reports in order to collect higher bonuses ($52 million in bonuses over 5-years; $90 million in total compensation), serves on the board of trustees at Enterprise. In a continuation of theme, Goldman Sachs also has a representative on the board in the person of Alicia Glen.

Thanks for the link. Good looking site. 1st time I've seen it.
Rep. Chaffetz (R-UT), and Rep. Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to David Kappos, the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as Michael Williams, President and CEO of Fannie Mae, seeking information concerning a patent issued to Fannie Mae regarding a residential Cap and Trade system.
BACKSTORY On June 7, 2005, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Patent No. 6,904,336 for a System and Method for Residential Emissions Trading.

REP ISSA: Having ventured far beyond sub-prime lending policies, Fannie Mae appears to have served as a full-blown liberal think tank for crony-capitalism. While the crony-capitalist Democrats like Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson used these ideas to enrich themselves, American taxpayers are left holding the bag after they failed. "
Franklin Raines looted and pillaged Fannie Mae as Clinton's appointee. Raines famously facilitated the climate control scam w/ F/M funds.......then hooked up with Ohaha's Chicago mob who organized the Chicago Climate Exchange.
REFERENCE Ex-Fannie CEO Franklin Raines should be behind bars for life. He is a crook of the first order. This thief Raines cooked the FM books precipitating losses of $9B (that we know of) for the single purpose of creating bonuses for himself and other F/M insiders. The SEC said Raines broke accounting rules by playing with risky derivatives.
RAINES COOKS THE F/M BOOKS---WALKS AWAY A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE After Raines was outed for cooking the books, Raines walked away w/ $90 million dollars, a $26 million parachute,
Raines gets a MONTHLY pension of $116,300 for life. Raines had already collected $4.87 million in special performance shares.
Raines owns options giving him $5.8 million in net profit after redemptions, plus another $8.7 million in deferred compensation for six years at the F/M helm.
Raines keeps $5 million of paid-up life insurance. He and his spouse get free medical and dental benefits for life, worth over $1 million.
Raines earned $20 million in salary, bonuses and stock awards (that we know of) in one year.
After he was fired, Raines told the F/M board that he's entitled to get paychecks until June 22 giving him another $600,000, which triggers a $2,000 monthly raise in his lifetime pension. He also said he's entitled to disputed options with a gross value of about $5.6 million.
To keep Raines happy within philanthropic circles, Fannie Mae will match Raines' charitable contributions by $10,000 a year.

A mob broke into a Pakistani police station and burnt alive a
man accused of desecrating the Koran, police say, in the
latest violence focusing attention on the country's blasphemy
The man was a traveller and had spent Thursday night at the
mosque, said Maulvi Memon, the imam in the southern village
of Seeta in Sindh province. The charred remains of the Koran
were found the next morning.
"He was alone in the mosque during the night," Memon said.
"There was no one else there to do this terrible thing."
Villagers beat the man then handed him over to police. A few
hours later, a crowd of around 200 stormed the police
station, dragged the man out and set him on fire, said Usman
Ghani, the senior superintendent of police in Dadu district.
Ghani said around 30 people had been arrested for the murder
and seven police detained for negligence.
At least 53 people have been killed in Pakistan since 1990
after being accused of blasphemy, according to the Center for
Research and Security Studies, and accusations are becoming
more frequent.
Blasphemy in Pakistan is punishable by death but it is not
specifically defined by law. During court cases, lawyers
often do not wish to repeat evidence against the accused for
fear of being blasphemous themselves.
People have been arrested for just discussing or writing
about Islam, making mistakes in homework or not joining
protests against a film insulting Islam. In some cases, the
accusers have had financial disputes with those who are
Most recently, international attention focused on the case of
Rimsha Masih, a Christian teenager accused of having some
burnt pages of a child's exercise book quoting the Koran in a
bag of rubbish she was carrying.
The case was dismissed last month after a neighbour came
forward to say she was framed, possibly to chase Christians
out of her neighbourhood.
In the past two years, two senior Pakistani officials who
suggested reforming the laws have been shot dead, one by his
own bodyguard. Lawyers threw rose petals at the killer and
the judge who convicted him was forced to flee the country.

The federal CIO announced the Cybersecurity Strategy and Implementation Plan on Oct. 30, alongside updated FISMA guidance, all aimed at improving Uncle Sam's cybersecurity posture in months and years to come.
Federal agencies are investing heavily in perimeter network defense, but in five years DHS' chief information security officer hopes to see a lot more spending on defense of data.
Government leaders speak frankly about how mentorship for young minority talent could help bridge the nation's cybersecurity skills gap.
Senators focus on Iran and Israel, but defense nominee also addresses matters at home.
Cyber warfare isn't a new domain anymore, but it still takes time to prepare for it, top Air Force officials said.
A new survey finds cyberattacks against U.S. targets – both public and private sector – are increasing dramatically in frequency and cost.
As cybersecurity legislation languishes in Congress and the president mulls an executive order, critical infrastructure remains under-secured and disputes over leadership linger, according to a panel of experts.
DHS head defends the need for executive action on cybersecurity, but says it won't include some things that 'only legislation can do.'
The military is facing the risk of digital sabotage in counterfeit electronics components infiltrating defense systems.
Although Congress couldn't agree on cybersecurity legislation earlier this year, at least one member insists it's still possible.
Cybersecurity efforts are starting to pay off and agencies are working together better, says NSC's cybersecurity coordinator.
As an incident response analyst at Creative Computing Solutions, Ogden implemented a workflow process undergirding cybersecurity support.

Nice title
This is really stunning, it's like a dream.
I imagined it with more free movies...
Pirate bay oh I love that site, however they always get down
What a magical place!
C'est quand même dingue ! Cela dit je voudrais pas y vivre par peur de soit prendre une vague, soit prendre un gros rocher sur la pomme...
This looks very intriguing! Lovely photo
breath taking!!
Wow great view and nice colours and textures.
Wow, amazing!
I've been trying to get to La Palma for a while with no results (our trips were cancelled twice already due to low popularity of the destination), and now I have another reason to go there. I found the location on google maps right next to Barranco del Jorado, but it wasn't easy. Doesn't seem to be popular and infested with tourists, which makes it that much better. This photo is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing.
what a beautiful place, well captured

The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Hulk Lab Smash from LEGO is a 398-piece set that builds the A.I.M. Organization's lab and five minifigures. Those minifigures include one that isn't so mini, The Hulk! The other four figures are Thor, Falcon, Taskmaster, and Modok. There's also an attack droid with two flick missiles. The lab has several action features, including a rotating laser canon that can be blown apart, a collapsible bridge, breakaway Adamantium shield and a smashable wall for Hulk to bust through.
All of these features and figures give kids lots of imaginative play possibilities involving Marvel's Super Heroes.
The set is for Marvel fans, ages 6 to 12, but we think fans older than 12 will also enjoy this one.
The directions are excellent and while it took our expert builder one hour to complete, it should take most LEGO builders about an hour and half or more to complete.
This set also comes with a LEGO Marvel mini comic book.

Beta Signups For The Elder Scrolls Online Announced
- Details
- Created on 23 January 2013
- Written by GTL Admin
- Hits: 1458
- < Title Update Released For Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
- Crysis 3 Multiplayer Beta Details Revealed >
Fans of Award-Winning Franchise Get Chance to Explore The Online World of Elder Scrolls with FriendsBethesda Softworks and ZeniMax Online Studios today announced that beta signups are now open for The Elder Scrolls Online at ElderScrollsOnline.com. Interested gamers simply have to go to the website and register for a chance to play. Selected beta registrants will be granted early access to beta test the game. They will be among the first to experience this epic world with others in one of 2013's most highly-anticipated releases. Timing and details of the start of playtests will be provided at a later date to those who register.
Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online comments,
We're really excited to get the game into players' hands. We receive invaluable feedback through the beta process, and that helps us ensure that the game will be one of the best online gaming experiences ever offered -- one worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise.
The Elder Scrolls Online brings the award-winning Elder Scrolls experience online for the first time. Using ZeniMax Online's Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing. Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created. Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls title to be played online after nearly 20 years of these best-selling, award-winning fantasy role-playing games. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the most recent chapter of the Elder Scrolls story. Skyrim, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, was released in November 2011 and enjoyed worldwide critical and commercial success. As the follow-up to the 2002 Role-Playing Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Skyrim earned hundreds of 'Game of the Year' awards and sold over 10 million copies in the first month.
The Elder Scrolls Online is slated for release in 2013 and is being developed for the PC and the Mac by ZeniMax Online Studios. The studio is headed up by industry veteran Matt Firor who has more than 20 years of online game development experience.

Time Magazine and George Monbiot Cite Climate Cover Up [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | December 7, 2009
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Monday, December 7, 2009 - 17:36
I would say it's been a good day for publicity for Jim and Richard's new book Climate Cover Up. [3]
First, there are two new pieces out today from Guardian columnist George Monbiot and in both he cites Climate Cover Up. [4] In one he calls Climate Cover Up: [5]
"… the fascinating, funny and beautifully written new book by James Hoggan and Richard Littlemore."
We're flattered George.
The other big piece of publicity comes from Time Magazine, where a story citing Climate Cover Up [6] is currently front and center on the homepage.

On Tuesday night, I picked up my new Kuota KOM from the bike shop. I've been waiting and waiting for everything to come together, and for this bike to arrive.
My bike is the same model that is being used by the Agritubel team as their main workhorse. I'll get you a photo of "my" bike, but here is the team bike photo:
I was going to unveil the new ride report of some kind, but I couldn't wait. I was able to ride it a little yesterday, today we got snow. The time that I did ride yesterday was really sweet. The short of it is that I rode it for hill repeats on Old Stage Road outside of Boulder for a photo shoot.
Weighing in under 15 pounds with pedals and water bottle cages attached makes it one light climbing machine.
I'm chomping at the bit to go for a longer ride, but I may have to wait for several days. More bad weather is coming in and I have to have my bike fit dialed in by Roy at Peloton Cycles.
My husband made me move it out of the living room. He told me he was fairly certain it would be fine in the garage. How can he be so sure?
More gory details later and photos as well...

I have OSP installed but Quake 3 says that cg_speedometer 1 is an unknown command. Which version do I need in order to use it?
To enable the speedometer in Quake 3 OSP use the speedometer option: ch_drawSpeed (defaults to 0) - displays UPS of current player (units per second).
This needs to be typed in the console, which by default can be accessed with the ~ key.
Alternatively, you can add this command to your configuration file and invoke the configuration file when launching the game with something along the lines of the following (obviously taking into consideration any other command line parameters you're already using):

Hi Hugh,
First of all, thanks for the plugin. It's really neat and useful. I started using it recently and it's exactly what I needed.
However, I came across the exact same requirement, but instead of narrowing down by category, by custom post types. I have one custom post type that I already have an archive page for, but couldn't find a widget to only display the breakdown by month/year for THAT custom type.
After searching for a while and not finding anything I've decided to clone your plugin and modify it to work with custom post types. The code was clear and neat enough for me to be able to work it out, even with limited skills.
I'm not that experienced with PHP or wordpress, and have never created a plugin, but I was able to create something that actually works. I thought that instead of posting it myself I can send it to you, so you can have a look/comment and potentially post it yourself?? Or perhaps you can merge both into one plugin??
What's the best way to post you the code?

Re http://bitterdivorcee.com --
Site has been working fine but I changed something somewhere so that all the wp.me shortlinks now lead to 404 dead ends at "localhost" instead of the bitterdivorcee domain.
E.g., http://wp.me/pObOy-4U --> resolves to -> http://localhost/bitterdivorcee?p=304 [404 error]
Recent changes -- upgraded WP 3.0.5 to 3.1 and set up local MAMP server to run site @ localhost (which works). Did not notice the problem right away, so I don't know when it started.
I have checked wp_options and wp_config for weirdness, no luck. I tried moving .htaccess. I tried replacing wp_content with the most recent backup, and reverting the SQL database, no luck. I've wondered if I should downgrade to WP 3.0.5, and whether this would cause headaches.
The broken links don't work on my iPhone (off wireless), either, so it's not a DNS issue. I flushed every cache I could think of and tried three browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
I'm stumped. Help?

The Quantum Co-Evolution Unit: An Example of 'Awa (Kava— Piper methysticum G. Foster) in Hawaiian Culture. The process of co-evolution occurs in many kinds of relationships and on various scales. One example of a co-evolutionary relationship is that of a plant and a culture with which it interacts. Such relationships are dynamic and ever changing. Researchers have discussed this concept and its implications for decades, yet no quantifiable unit or standardized scale has been accepted with which to measure this change. The theoretical "quantum co-evolution unit" (QCU) is proposed as the smallest measurable scale of interactions between plants and people. A collection of QCUs for a linked plant and human population would be its "ethnobotanical population." This could be measured at various points in time to quantify the changing relationships between plants and people. These models set up a structure to discuss methodologies for quantifying co-evolutionary relationships such as are seen in the evolution of ethnobotanical populations. The co-evolving relationship between 'awa (kava—Piper methysticum) and Hawaiian culture is used as an example to illustrate this idea.

INSTRUCTIONS - STUDENTS: You may receive this form by email, or you may download it after it has been posted here. Either way, print and review this form. Complete or correct the sections, from "Student's Name" to "Student's Level", and sign ("Student signature"). Ask your supervisor to sign her/his section near the bottom. Take it to the department* corresponding to the course number in Section A; this may or may not be your own department. (* EXCEPTIONS: For NSCI 396 and COGS 396, please bring it to the Interdisciplinary Programs Adviser in Dawson Hall.) Do not register for a '396' course on Minerva until you receive departmental permission. Have a discussion with your supervisor about time/work expectations, keeping in mind that this is a 3-credit course (roughly, 10 hours per week for 12 weeks). Remember that a '396' course is an elective.
INSTRUCTIONS - DEPARTMENTS: After the unit chair/director/designate approves (or not) this project, please notify student. If approved, please give student permission to register on Minerva, and send a copy of this form (with signatures) to the Office for Undergraduate Research in Science (either fax, or internal mail to Dawson Hall 408-A, or PDF scan + email).

Project title: The effects of transcranial direct current magnetic stimulation on sensorimotor learning in speech
Project description (50-100 words suggested): Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can induce neuroplastic changes and modulate behavioral performance in a number of cognitive and motor behaviors. The mechanism of action on motor behavior appears to be through a decrease in GABA levels or a decrease in Glx levels in motor cortex with the specific action dependent on stimulation polarity. Anodal tDCS applied for 20 minutes across motor cortices facilitates motor cortical excitability and induces LTP-like effects. Here we will use anodal tDCS to induce left hemisphere motor cortex facilitation and examine short-term speech motor learning changes in response to alterations in auditory feedback and compare the experimental results to those from a sham control group.
Prerequisite: 1 term completed at McGill + CGPA of 3.0 or higher; or permission of instructor.
Grading scheme (The final report must be worth at least 50% of final grade): Oral presentation of findings 20%; Evaluation of laboratory performance 30%; Final report 50%.
Project status: This project is taken. The professor has no more '396' projects this term.
Ethics, safety, and training: Supervisors are responsible for the ethics and safety compliance of undergraduate students. This project involves human subjects.
