Caucus Roundup: Trump's path to the presidency
As the caucuses approach, political prognosticators are wondering about the future of Donald Trump. How will his warpath through conventional wisdom continue?
At this point, his ascendance to the nomination or even the presidency is increasingly, and some might allege dangerously, likely. Trump's path to the nomination is looking increasingly clear.
The beacon of hope throughout Trump's rise has been Iowa. Iowa has given favorable polling figures to Ben Carson and now Ted Cruz in light of their strong presence there. Trump has maintained high poll numbers but fallen to second place by significant amounts behind those two.
That being said, Carson faded, and Cruz has seen more attacks on his closed-door positions versus his public persona. Cruz has also faced some polls in Iowa which show Trump ahead more recently. Trump is the constant, unwavering monolith.
Opinion: Barring refugees doesn't prevent terrorism
The current refugee crisis in the world presents two large sets of questions for discussion. The first is ethical: How large a role should America play in the resettlement process? Should the possibility of one potential terrorist prevent all refugees from relocating? Do Americans deserve peace of mind more than Syrian refugees deserve safety?
Caucus Roundup: The F-Word
Donald Trump has already demonstrated his populist tendencies with repeated actions that fall into that ideology, but recent developments have caused critics on both sides of the aisle to call him the dreaded f-word: fascist.
Caucus Roundup: Carson falls as Cruz, Rubio rise
The meteoric rise of Dr. Ben Carson seems to have fallen once again into the depths of the polls out of which he had climbed. Under increased scrutiny and pressure from numerous groups, Carson has seen huge shortcomings, not just nationally but perhaps most disappointingly here in Iowa, where he was once in first place.
Why I won't use the French flag Facebook filter
Over the weekend, the world turned out in support for Paris and the victims of the mass shootings. A lot of people took to social media to show that they stood behind the over 120 Parisians who lost their lives, adding a French flag filter to their Facebook profile pictures and including #PrayforParis in status updates. But I will not be updating my picture or my status, and here's why:

"I'm very passionate about people. My friends and family mean a lot to me so I always put them before myself. It means far more to me that my friends and family are happy than if I am. There have been so many days where I didn't do my homework in order to cheer up a friend, just stuff like that where I put myself second to those I care most about because being a good friend is important to me."
Christmas music in November
If you were like me, you were eagerly looking forward to Halloween. The costumes, the candy, and all the fun activities that go along with it sure provide for a memorable weekend. After such a fun holiday and weekend, it's easy to feel let down, so it's easy to see why so many people are excited to start preparing for the next holiday.
Who won Saturday's Democratic debate?
Who won the Drake debate?
The short answer is: not Clinton. The other two candidates had their ups and downs, but they came prepared to hit Hillary Clinton hard, and they did just that.
In the beginning, Bernie Sanders appeared weaker. He took the opening question about the events in Paris and sidestepped it to go back to his economic agenda, which was the original focus of the debate before the terrorist attack. Sanders showed weakness throughout the foreign policy segment that focused heavily on ISIS.
However, both Sanders and Martin O'Malley were able to critique Clinton for her vote to invade Iraq which Sanders described as "disastrous" and a historic blunder which has led to contemporary instability in the region. O'Malley and all of the candidates agreed that the sources of conflict were numerous and nuanced. All of the candidates also agreed that they needed a coalition of Muslim countries to act against ISIS, but that Islam should not be painted with a broad brush as extremist terrorists. In sum, there were actually few policy discrepancies except for Clinton's more hawkish suggestion of enforcing a no-fly zone over Syria.
O'Malley, at one point, was able to criticize the other two for referring to veterans as "boots on the ground," because he wants to remember the human cost of war, as Sanders later brought up when talking about his work on the Veterans' Affairs Committee and the half a million veterans suffering from PTSD or brain injury.
Although in the last debate Sanders was unwilling to criticize his rivals, this time he brought up what he characterized as "disagreements." The biggest discrepancy, and a winning argument for Sanders, was campaign finance reform. O'Malley has a Super PAC, but has, so far, been able to raise very little money. Sanders has no Super PAC and touted this above Clinton. Only 13 percent of Clinton's campaign contributions are in amounts below $200, whereas Sanders has 77 percent of donations below $200. None of Sanders' donations exceed $2,700, but 27 percent of Clinton's donations exceed $2,700.
This argument has given Sanders the moral high ground amongst Democratic voters who want to see systemic changes addressed. When confronted on the issue, Clinton said that 60 percent of her donors were women and also referenced having to represent Wall Street on September 11th. Her use of 9/11 was later brought up by Nancy Cordes in the form of a tweet that had been sent out on the issue, reading "I've never seen a candidate invoke 9/11 to justify millions of Wall Street donations until now." Clinton's response failed to address campaign finance and merely reiterated that she has received many donations.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a surrogate of Clinton's in the spin room after the debate, told the Times-Delphic "I think she made a very good point on that, that if donations are received, it is not a definition of her character or her willingness to yield to her own values or her conscience, just because a particular interest group gave money."
However, Sanders characterized Clinton's response as "not good enough." He added, that special interests "expect to get something, everybody knows that."
O'Malley joined in at times to show that Clinton was not leading by her conscience but instead "leading by polls." He pointed out numerous flip-flops and did a solid job of demonstrating his own successes. O'Malley and his surrogates have taken to an "actions over words" mantra that they hope will show he is a contender. Drake University student Kenia Calderon represented O'Malley in the spin room and said "he has the actions to back his statements up."
Throughout the debate, O'Malley made a strong display of his record in Maryland of "raised sales tax by a penny and made our public schools the best public schools in America," raising the minimum wage so "the more they spend, the more our economy grows," and enacting gun control. He also argued against "polarizing figures from our past" at the national level. O'Malley also pointed out Clinton's connections to Wall Street and the nefarious effect that could have on her ability to lead when asked about his own finance reform agenda.
However, by the end of the debate, Sanders was able to tie healthcare and other issues back to campaign finance reform fairly successfully. When asked about how he would add regulations to the prescription drug industry when they are a one trillion dollar industry, Sanders said the first step is to ensure that they cannot control members of Congress through campaign contributions.
Symone Sanders, a surrogate for Senator Sanders in the spin room, told the Times-Delphic "Bernie Sanders knows that we live in a rigged economy, and this economy is kept in place by a corrupt finance system."
"Bernie Sanders is leading from the front on this issue by not participating in this system," Sanders said.
That seemed to be the winning issue for Sanders. The item that Clinton could not successfully repel turned out to be campaign finance reform. Her mentions of female donors or 9/11 seemed to distract from the matter at hand and did not provide her with the ability to hold back her opponents.
On the other hand, Sanders failed almost completely with foreign policy by refusing to address it from the beginning and then not diving into great detail throughout the foreign policy debate. Sanders was corrected at one point by Clinton about the involvement of Jordan against ISIS, and his only area of military expertise seemed to be veterans' affairs.
O'Malley succeeded in showing competent responses and providing examples of success from his time as governor of Maryland. He stumbled in his speech at times, but O'Malley seems to have found a better strategy by attacking the words of Washington politicians and contrasting them with his actions as a governor of Maryland. The winnowing of the Democratic nomination to three contenders allowed him the attention he needed.
Clinton had a lot of success leading up to the second Democratic debate by showing a strong performance in the first debate with no attacks from Bernie Sanders, maintaining composure for the 11 hour Benghazi hearing, and demonstrating hegemony through Biden's refusal to run, but this debate showed that there are discussions and debates still necessary in the Democratic Party. Expect the largest surge for O'Malley, because he had such little support to start with, but also expect Sanders campaign finance agenda to move him upward in the polls even as his foreign policy was lackluster.
Caucus Roundup: Donald Trump and the global populist movement
In one of his first weeks as host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert played a game with his guest, Donald Trump, trying to pinpoint which of a list of ridiculous quotes Trump had said and which ones Stephen Colbert's conservative character had said.
Complaints about sending billions to "Bongo Bongo Land," saying opponents "have the charisma of a damp rag," and asserting that "politics needs a bit of spicing up" are the sort of over-the-top Trumpian quotes that the United States has come to expect. The only problem is that Donald Trump did not say them. These quotes were all from Nigel Farage and the United Kingdom Independence Party.
As much as the United States has been reeling from Trump's nativist, anti-globalization, populist message, these sorts of ideas have crystallized into political parties and movements throughout many other Western democracies.
Germany, for example, has the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands or the National Democratic Party of Germany. It has been the progenitor of such assertions as "due to the continued mass immigration and extraordinarily rising high birth rates especially of non-European populations, illegal foreigners living in Germany further burden the budget."
Germany has had its share of problems with nationalists. The NDP alone has led protests against refugee houses this year in the wake of continued refugee immigration from the Arab world. They have also continued to say things like, "even now, foreigners are . . . committing felonies such as murder, manslaughter, and rape. The unstoppable Islamization makes this development more explosive." In response to continuing problems with the NDP, many have tried to get the party banned on constitutional grounds, but it is a very difficult proposal that must be brought before 16 justices in Germany's highest court.
The National Democratic Party is primarily concerned, first and foremost, with the "survival and continued existence of the German people." The main way it sees of preserving this national identity is by expelling or prohibiting entry to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. However, it is also important to remember that the NDP wants to strengthen many social welfare programs. They also support more protectionist trade policies to shield Germany from cheaper products that are imported from other countries.
The NDP has been able to gain representation in the provinces of Germany, especially in the northeast, and even in the European Parliament as representatives of Germany at the supranational level. In 1998, the National Democratic Party of Germany only got about 45,000 votes, but in Germany's most recent national election in 2013, they received over 630,000 votes.
These economic policies combined with strong nativist, anti-immigration tendencies resist a standard right to left dynamic. Instead, most people have labeled these movements as populist. Populism is some sort of movement away from control by elites and instead toward the control of rural, small-town, wholesome peoples that represent their specific country. Populism also tends to support government intervention in some capacity to support specific industries and shield the country from invasive cultural or social values. They are also generally reactions to technological or cultural change.
However, Germany is not the only country in Europe to witness these sorts of populist, traditionalist backlashes. France has similarly experienced a populist movement with strong nativist twinges in its political system. This movement has been represented by the National Front, a party that supports solidarity amongst the "French civilization," an expansion of social security and healthcare programs, as well as withdrawal from the European Union to foster protectionist policies for French businesses. Their manifesto argues that "ghettos, ethnic conflicts, community demands and politico-religious provocations are the direct consequences of mass immigration which is undermining our national identity and brings with it an increasingly apparent Islamization."
In France, the National Front has gained representation in both the National Assembly and Senate. Twenty-three of the 74 representatives France sends to the European Parliament, about a third, are members of the National Front. Thousands of regional, general, and municipal council members are also members of France's National Front party. In 2007, the National Front garnered a little over a million votes, but in their most recent election in 2012, the National Front received over three and a half million votes.
Another, though more tenuous, member of the European Union, Greece, has also seen this same sort of emergence of nationalist populism. The Golden Dawn party in Greece has tried to renew concerns of nationalism, nativism, and anti-globalization ideology. Sporting a jaunty new re-design of the swastika, the Golden Dawn professes, that "nationalism is the only absolute and true revolution because it seeks the birth of new ethical, spiritual, social and mental values." It also argues that people should fight "exploitative wealth, either local or internationalist." The Golden Dawn also remains strongly opposed "against the population distortion, because of the millions of illegal immigrants, and the dissolution of the Greek society."
Like the National Democratic Party and the National Front, this nationalism and economic redistribution for the wholesome and worthy in a country has led the Golden Dawn to some notable successes. They currently have dozens of members in the national parliament and even more at the local level. They also comprise a seventh of Greece's representation in the European Union's European Parliament. Additionally, in 2009, the Golden Dawn received only about 20,000 votes and could not gain any representation, but by the most recent of Greece's many emergency elections in 2015, the Golden Dawn had received almost 380,000 votes.
By now, some patterns should begin to emerge. These parties all share strong anti-immigrant stances and argue for the preservation of their country against foreign intrusions. This nativism does not just apply to wanting to keep out immigrants; it also means that they want to protect native industries by severing trade agreements and raising tariffs against foreign imports. Populist movements like the Golden Dawn, National Front, and NDP also want to strengthen government assistance and social welfare.
All across the Western world, these populist, nativist, anti-globalization movements are springing forth in response to the advancement and change of the new millennium.
Along with the aforementioned parties, are Jobbik in Hungary which desires what they see as the re-establishment of Hungarian nationalism against Gypsy, socialist, and capitalist incursions. There is also the Freedom Party of Austria which wants to "promptly stop immigration and protection [for refugees] instead of providing doors for all." The Danish People's Party argues, "Denmark is not a country of immigration and has never been. We will not accept a multi-ethnic transformation of country." The Polish Law and Justice Party places a strong emphasis on the "Polish family" and rejecting "cultural unification."
None of these parties are extreme outliers either. They have all done well enough to gain multiple representatives in their national parliament and at the European Parliament level. They are all now sizable political forces in their respective countries.
Now, this movement has crossed the Atlantic. Donald Trump has brought a unique mix of ideals. His comments about Mexican immigrants, building "the greatest wall you've ever seen," and deporting 11 million individuals have become infamous and betray strong anti-immigration twinges in his rhetoric.
In spite of NAFTA and other free trade agreements, Donald Trump has proposed tariffs unheard of in modern times. One of his favorite, stump-speech stories is Ford Motors new plant in Mexico. Trump says, "every car, every truck and every part manufactured in this plant that comes across the border, we're going to charge you a 35 percent tax — OK?" Trump's refusal to abide by free trade agreements would likely cause a trade war and untold repercussions in international relations, but it also betrays this strong populist bent in his rhetoric.
Trump also wants to bolster social welfare programs, despite the departure of this position from the conservative mainstream. He said, "every Republican wants to do a big number on Social Security, they want to do it on Medicare, they want to do it on Medicaid. And we can't do that."
Donald Trump also says he will bring "winning" back to the presidency. In his pseudo-patriotic style, Trump has consistently emphasized the fact that the American people are good, but we have the misfortune of idiotic leadership. Trump always maintains that the country has the potential to be great again if it returns to some societal roots.
Polls seem to show that this is exactly what people want. It is not misguided conservatives lured into a cult of personality that vote for Trump. His policy proposals, however nascent and unsupported, are what the people want to hear.
Before Trump ever formally entered the political scene, the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party was already leaning strongly toward populism. A Marist poll from 2011 found that 53% of people associating with the Tea Party wanted to raise taxes on those with incomes over $250,000 in an attempt to lower the national debt. The same poll also found that 70% of these supposedly stringent conservatives opposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.
This idea of taxing the perceived paper-pushing elites to make room for benefits for the society at large has strong roots in populism. Donald Trump has said repeatedly, "The hedge fund people make a lot of money and they pay very little tax; I want to lower taxes for the middle class." The same anger that fuels a populist outrage against leeches upon society, often personified in immigrants, produces the same suspicion of wealthy stock market nabobs who create money out of thin air in speculative markets without working to actually produce something.
America's past can show us similar political movements. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a populist party formed in America. Calling itself the People's Party, in 1892, it issued a call against "the two great classes—tramps and millionaires." The party supported stronger support for agrarian communities and small towns. Although they had some concrete successes as a political party, they were more successful at influencing the other parties around them at the time. John Temple Graves, an editor for the Atlanta Constitution, wrote in 1896 that, "reforms for which the masses have been clamoring for years—whether it be silver or labor or income tax or popular rights or resistance to government by injunction—had never been written, and might never have been written, into a Democratic platform, until the Populist party, 1,800,000 strong, thundered in the ears of Democratic leaders."
Donald Trump appeals to this ideal by saying that he will take back power from "special interests, lobbyists and donors." At every turn, he re-emphasizes the need to turn government into an institution of "winners," instead of allowing the so-called "losers" governing now to continue to lead Americans astray. He appeals to a select group whom he considers wholesome and good and promises them that the rich will pay more, their benefits will increase, the immigrants will disappear, and the good-natured, idyllic United States that they dream of will return.
In the meantime, Europeans look upon the Trump phenomenon with amusement and underlying concern. The German magazine, Der Spiegel, has called him an "idiot" and representative of "what is wrong with this [the American] system." The French newspaper, Libération, called him an "American nightmare." The British newspaper, The Observer, said Trump's political ideas have "spewed from him like a ruptured sewer."
Yet, all of these countries have had much more experience with populism at home. Although Donald Trump, in the words of French sociologist and author, Marie-Cécile Naves, is "someone who lets us feel a bit superior about being European," the persistent laughter is nervous laughter. They may mock him in their publications, but it seems almost wholly due to a reflection of the anti-establishment, nationalist fervor which they know all too well.
Donald Trump may be a character without precedent in modern political memory, but throughout other Western democracies, the same sort of over-the-top, populist ideology asserts itself. In an era of rapid change, technologically and culturally, the backlash is being felt around the globe, and it is a backlash strong enough to bring the most resolute, political bodies to their knees. As much as we may want to, we should not laugh off everything that Donald Trump represents: a populist movement that is revivifying to unseat the most monolithic political traditions around the world.
Police violence toward student
All it took was a nine-second video on Facebook to shed light on a recent resource officer attack on a student last week in South Carolina.
On Oct. 26, a student refused to hand over her phone to her teacher. Resource officer Deputy Ben Fields was called to the scene to remove the student. When she refused to stand up and leave, Fields violently lifted and threw her on the ground to handle arrest.
Russian plane crash in Egypt leads to misinformation, tension between nations
On Oct. 13, Metrojet Flight 9268 was on its way from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg.
Then, approximately 23 minutes into the flight, the plane dropped off the radar without any distress call.

5.0 stars 14 totalReview Lisa Roche
Posted by Chrissy
I have recently experienced my fair share of attorneys and their respective personalities and preferred method of conducting business and I must say Lisa has far surpassed my expectations in that regard. Unlike other attorneys, talking to Lisa, was like talking to a real human being. She was very thoughtful, professional, warm and informative. My husband and I went to a consultation very worried about our situation, needs, and more worried about the process involved in opening a special needs trust. Lisa answered every question we had to ask, before we even asked. We left with our minds at ease for the first time in a long time. Lisa seemed very experienced and passionate about what she does and helping her clients. I trust her level of professionalism and feel so confident in her and her work, that being said I cannot say enough good things about her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help in her area of legal expertise. Truly an amazing and considerate attorney, or in her case a true human being.
Posted by Nikki
Ms. Roche was very knowledgable and capable in rewriting a Trust for me. She pointed out some things to include that I hadn't considered that impressed me. She was also very accessible and returned my calls quickly answering my questions with helpful advice. I would highly recommend her and have to several people already.
Posted by Marty & Diane
We hired Lisa regarding establishing a trust. She was not only very knowledgeable about this process but with other aspects that one would not associate with, but are affected by, a trust. Her attention to detail, knowledge, and professionalism (yet informal meetings) made this process pleasant. I would definitely recommend Lisa.
Posted by William & Paula
We had a very complicated case regarding our mothers' estate. We tried contacting the bank numerous times. They never returned our calls, and shifted us from one department to the next. They certainly didn't know what they were doing. My brother who whose name was on the paperwork, for the house, was affected every time. they called. We hired Atty. Lisa Roche in Feb.2014. She was very professional in handling our case, as the house was in Massachusetts . She answered all our questions and concerns, and went above and beyond. Lisa stood by us every moment of this difficult dilemma. She even returned our our phone calls while on vacation. She truly is a great asset to the legal profession.

Lisa Roche has been an invaluable key in assisting my Uncle in his estate plans. My Aunt passed just six days after placing my Uncle in a nursing facility. I unknowingly was chosen to help with my Uncles affairs in the event of her death.
Without delay, Lisa met with us and discussed many of our concerns. We felt relaxed, guided and very confident as she outlined what was to come. Lisa has completed estate property sales for us with complete ease as well as overseen financial investments. Her numerous dealings with our sensitive issues were handled with the utmost discretion and privacy. My experience with Lisa Roche has been refreshing. I'm impressed with her time and effort expended on us. Without her dedication and expertise I don't know what we would have done.

Client Review:
I hired Attorney Lisa E. Roche to handle my parents' estate. It was a very difficult situation. My father had passed and my mother was left in a state of dementia with no appointed PR and died subsequently in the same year with no will. What was most difficult was the presence of discord within the family, no one would agree. Lisa's expertise in Estate Law brought a satisfying conclusion in an expeditious manner. She also had the network to liquidate two properties in a more than timely fashion in a depressed real estate market. Her level of acumen and professionalism are unparalleled. Her court room finesse is impressive. There is no other lawyer I would choose to represent me than Attorney Lisa E. Roche. -
Posted by Maria
I was very impressed by Lisa Roche when I attended a talk she gave on Wills, Trusts and Living Wills.
When I met with her to handle my estate planning, I felt at ease as she made it easy to understand some complex legal issues. I appreciated knowing the cost per legal document as opposed to being billed per hour. Her professionalism and expertise reassured me that my personal needs and concerns would be thoroughly addressed. Lisa is a trustworthy and knowledgeable attorney; personally she is open, friendly and positive.
Lisa is professionally and personally top notch!!
Posted by a Estate Planning client
I met with Lisa because I have never dealt with estate issues before. I had several questions from what documents would be best in my situation to how much it would cost, and she answered everything clearly and concisely, in terms that I could understand. I loved the fact that she told me exactly how much she charges per form, rather than hourly, so I can budget appropriately. I look forward to hiring lisa for all of my estate planning needs.
Posted by Alfred
Lisa was extremely helpful and professional, yet very reasonable in her fees giving me free advice through e-mail. She kepted me well informed all the time. I was very happy with her.
Posted by Genevieve
As a former client and a business owner who recommends Ms. Roche to any customer in need of legal advice, I have a tremendous amount of professional experience with Lisa. Our family utilized her services for a highly sensitive issue that was handled with the utmost personal care, confidence and regard for what is best for the future. Many of my senior clients utilize Lisa for their estate needs, and advice regarding sensitive family issues. Ms. Roche is highly professional, knowledgeable and extremely responsive to time sensitive issues. Ms. Roche can be very kind and considerate to a client, yet highly competent and tough minded in a situation that requires this demeanor. This is a very important quality for negotiating settlements and dealing with the opposition. I highly recommend using Ms. Roche for any of your legal questions and concerns.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a plugin or hack that will allow the use of WordPress as a booking system.
Working in a school we have number of computer suites that available to staff to book for their classes and we would like to make the booking online. Departments already have WordPress websites and therefore a bolt on to that site with a plugin would be great.
It just needs 'slots' or lessons that could be booked by a user and then that session is made 'not available' for others to book.
Anyone any ideas, would be much appreciated. Thanks,

I have searched far and wide.
How do I change what a user level has permission to do?
I want to take the ability to change the links for user level 5, or give level 4 the ability to write pages.
any help would be much appreciated :)

Oh, this one had me for a couple of days. If you are the admin, go to the USER panel in the Admin. In little tiny type next to the user level of each user is a - (minus) on one side and a + (plus) on the other. These are hyperlinks.
Click plus to increase the user's level and minus to decrease. For specifics on user levels, check out http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels
thanks lorelle. I have seen that codex page. Im trying to alter the actual permissions.
I dont want the user level 5 to be able to edit links. But I need the user to create pages, which is something that level 4 doesnt have.
I did see in the codex you asked the same thing im asking but there havent been any replys.
There's no easy way to do it, aside from hopping into the code and modifying the various places where those levels are checked. It's non-trivial. Not impossible by any stretch, but there are a lot of places that would have to be changed depending on what you want to do.
So you're trying to make, say, level 6 user have only some of the level 4 permissions but not all of them? Or something like that?
Oh, do you mean the instructions I just gave you? I posted the additional instructions not an hour ago on how to change the user levels. Same as I told you.
Do you mean "create" a PAGE or a post? Level 5 can create Pages and Posts, but Level 4 can only do posts.
bo46802 means he wants to tweak the code so that a level 4 can create both Posts and Pages.
ColdForged is right. Currently the only way to do what you want is to tweak the core. There are rumors that a future release of WordPress will have more flexible user rights management, but for now you're stuck with the 10 levels defined by WordPress.
Its really only the links that bother me.
I also started to play around with the post (for the blog) and page posting template to try and take out some of the things that the users shouldnt have. Like taking out the ability to change post templates, and the custom fields.
Its fine if they are completely deleted, but when I delete them out the posting template will be fine, but the actual blog/site is screwed up and it says their is an error on the page.php file of the theme im working on.
fun stuff.
So would files should I look at for modfying the code?
You can edit wp-admin/menu.php and change what various admin panels specific user levels can access.
$menu[20] = array(__('Links'), 5, 'link-manager.php');
you might change to
$menu[20] = array(__('Links'), 6, 'link-manager.php');
You'll also want to change the submenu lines:
$submenu['link-manager.php'][5] = array(__('Manage Links'), 5, 'link-manager.php');
$submenu['link-manager.php'][5] = array(__('Manage Links'), 6, 'link-manager.php');
Then bump your user to a leverl 5. He/she will be able to create Pages but will not be able to see the Link Management stuff.
awesome! thanks man.
This metod don't work in WordPress v2.0
It only work, if i write user lvl = 0 :((

I am currently working on Suffusion 4.4.6. If you go to my blog ( http://www.managersareheroes.com/ ) you will notice that there is a gap between my banner and the content below where the bottom nav used to be. I removed the nav in the theme options but there's still a empty gap there. How would I go about to removing that? Also I have a bonus question... I want to bring my top nav text links into the gray box my banner image is located in, right above the banner image its self. Any ideas on how I would go about doing that?
Thank you!

I was hoping this game would be like going to Disneyland. You walk through the front gates, and there you are! I love it. I got it to play with my grandkids and we had a blast. They love interacting with the characters. The rides are actually challenges so don't expect that to be like the park. But they are fun. You definitely get a work out too. My arms were very tired after flying around neverland. The only frustration is the avatars keep switching and my grandson does not like to be protrayed as a girl. Haven't quite figured out how to fix that. He gets tired and wants to sit and the Kinect "loses" him. I think that may be part of the problem. My family loves Disneyland, we've been several times, and I think it's fun to just walk around. It is layed out just like the real thing. For sure this is a two thumbs up!!!
Good for lots of ages. My kids are 7 years apart and they both love this game. It is neat how it is very detailed and if you have been to Disney you remember the places they show. My husband got a little motion sick because the kids were "walking" around the park and he was watching the screen. There is also a learning curve for us because we are new to xbox and kinect, but we love the game.
As former annual pass holders to Disneyland, now living outside CA, this game is amazing. You are at the park in stunningly beautiful detail. Fun for adults and kids. My son will play for hours and collapse on the couch after beating off pirates and crocodiles or hide in the pillows when the Haunted Mansion gets too scary for him.
This is a must have for the kids! This is well worth the money and the kids love the interaction with all the characters. This is a real Winner for the family.
Good game- fun, entertaining and easy for all age levels.
I have been to Disneyland several times, and the game is just like you are there. Kids have fun meeting all the characters that they would otherwise never meet. Getting hugs and high-fives is fun. Controlling the movements takes getting used to, but once you master that, then it is all games. Best part is that there are so many different places to visit in the game that it is like playing a new game every time!
My children, 6 and 9 years of age, love this game. My 3 and 5 year old do not like it at all though. All in all, I know they will eventually get used to it like the older children. I played it myself and love it.
A gift for my grands
This game was a gift and my niece loved it.
Good graphics, hard for to children to play. They got bored after 15 minutes. Ages 7 & 8 its hard to control. Your arm gets tired very fast. Not worth the price.
Absolutely worth getting! My grandkids love it!
Good service and on time shipping.
Delivery was expedient
For Christmas
Awesome game

The steady rise in home prices may also be affecting voter perceptions of the economy. The price increases coincide with higher sales fueled by record-low mortgage rates. The gains could embolden people who had been spooked by their shrunken home values or wary of selling or investing in a home.
A gauge of prices calculated by CoreLogic, a private data provider, jumped 4.6 percent in August compared with August 2011. It was the sharpest year-over-year gain in more than six years.
Other home-price measures have also risen. The Standard & Poor's/Case Shiller index rose in July compared with a year ago, a second straight increase. And an index compiled by a federal housing regulator has reported annual increases.
Only 20 large cities out of 100 that CoreLogic tracked showed declines in the 12 months that ended in August. That compared with 26 in July.
Home prices are still 30 percent below their peak in June 2006, according to Case-Shiller. That was the height of the housing boom.
"The housing market's gains are increasingly geographically diverse, with only six states continuing to show declining prices," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.
The six states with price declines are Kentucky, Connecticut, Alabama, New Jersey, Illinois and Rhode Island.
The auto and housing industries are benefiting from the historically low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve. The Fed last month launched a mortgage-bond buying program to try to drive down mortgage rates further. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is already a record-low 3.4 percent.
Since 2008, the Fed bought more than $2 trillion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to drive down long-term rates. Besides lower mortgage rates, lower long-term rates have led to cheaper auto loans.
Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said housing and auto manufacturing are providing critical support for a still subpar economy.
And he pointed to a connection between the two: Rising home prices make homeowners feel more secure and more willing to buy expensive items such as cars.
"Housing is a lifeline," LaVorgna said. "We would be a lot worse off without it."

More than 150 members attended the event, held here August 20–22. ose who made the trip were the first to hear from Tim Rawlins, Armstrong's manager of new product development and installation services, who announced a new partnership between Armstrong and CFI. CFI installers will now have the opportu- nity to become certified Armstrong installers aer successfully completing a one-week Armstrong training program. at means the flooring pros will be listed on the Arm- strong website and have access to all certified installer marketing materials from CFI. "is is going to give us a lot of clout," said Jim Walker, CFI's CEO. In addition, Arm- strong will offer warranties when its resilient or hardwood flooring projects fail due to installer error. It will supply all the Armstrong flooring materials and installation products for repair or replacement up to a retail value of $1,000 for residential vinyl sheet and lami- nate products or $2,500 for commercial vinyl sheet or hardwood goods. "ere are going to be stringent require- ments for this warranty, but we're confident in the training," Rawlins said. "Since 2002, we have had less than 1 percent claims with certified installers. e third time an installer makes a warranty claim he will lose his [Armstrong] certification." Fred Williamson, vice president of opera- tions for Starnet, attended the CFI convention to scout out the possibility of an installation partnership between the two organizations.

Take market share. Do what it takes to get customers and understand their new value-oriented mindset. ese were the key edicts at the 49th semi-annual CCA Global Partners summer convention for Carpet One Floor & Home and Flooring America/Flooring Canada members, who gathered here August 10–13. Upper management's message: the time for action is now as the recession is beginning to wind down. "e worst is over," said Carpet One Floor & Home president Eric Dema- ree in his opening speech. "is is the time to go out and get customers." Rick Bennet, co-CEO of CCA Global Partners, cited some of the structural changes that will recast the flooring busi- ness in the coming years: the growing importance of thri as consumers become more price and value conscious, less overall activity in both new home construction and remodel markets, the growing importance of financing and a longer sales cycle as consumers shop more and are less willing to invest in their homes. e post-recession consumer will also likely be much dif- ferent and members need to readjust their selling strategies for her. "Flooring will be a considered purchase for her; she will take a longer timeline to buy," Bennet said. Both groups focused on supplying members the tools to get customers in the new environment. For Flooring America/Flooring Canada members, those efforts centered on aligning online/offline marketing and lead management. For Carpet One Floor & Home, the members must focus on harnessing the power of the Internet, management said. But it's really all about market share. Sandy Mishkin, president, CCA Global Partners, said, "When business hit the skids, the message was watch your costs. Now it's about ways to drive opportunities for market share. ere is no organic growth. e only way to win is to take advantage of programs that get market share or make you money."

Orazio Fagone (born November 13, 1968 in Catania) is an Italian sledge hockey player and former short track speed skater who competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics, 1992 Winter Olympics and 1994 Winter Olympics.
Short track career[edit]
Fagone competed in the first short track speed skating events at the 1988 Winter Olympics when this sport was a demonstration sport. He finished third in the 1500 metres[1] and as a member of the Italian relay team, he finished second in the 5000 metre relay.
At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, Fagone finished eighth with the Italian team in the 5000 metre relay competition. In the 1000 metres, he finished 24th.
At the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Fagone was part of the Italian team which won the gold medal in the 5000 metre relay competition. In the 1000 metres, he finished 15th and in the 500 metres, he finished 31st.
In 1997, Fagone's right leg was amputated after a motorcycle accident,[2] ending his hopes for a return to the 1998 Winter Olympics.[3] After the accident, Fagone started to play sledge hockey and competed in the 2006 Winter Paralympics as a member of the Italian national sledge hockey team.[4] This made Fagone the third Winter Olympian to also compete in the Paralympics and the first disabled one (the other two were sighted guides).[5]

Arts An Anonymous Modern Dance Rant
posted by June 5 at 9:27 AMon
This morning brought this I, Anonymous to my inbox:
The last 24 hours have been very difficult for me…Currently, I'm recovering from an overdose of modern dance. I love that I have friends who appreciate the arts, because then it feels like I don't have to. I don't need that kind of pressure in my life. Last night was a benefit for a local modern dance studio. There was complimentary champagne being served from 5:15 to 5:23, followed by a catered "gourmet" buffet (a contradiction in terms), intermingled with spastic performance art commonly referred to as Modern Dance. Evidently, all you need in order to be a modern dancer is to have an ego the size of Montana and a mild to severe case of epilepsy. The seizures are accompanied by digital recordings of gastrointestinal phenomena backed by a horn section. Japanese cartoons are no longer a pre-requisite. Truly, a very fucked up evening.
Actually, egotists with epilepsy writhing to digital farts sounds like the kind of modern dance I like…

Officer sues city over discrimination

An Allentown police officer is suing the city, claiming discrimination.
Officer Leif Henry has been with the department since 1998.
In a lawsuit filed Monday, Henry says he was discriminated against and ordered to do demeaning work because he's Hispanic.
He claims he was retaliated against because of a medical condition as well.
Allentown Police Chief Roger MacLean is also named in the suit.
The city says it hasn't been served with the complaint yet so it has no comment.

Manchester United Message Board
UEFA a disgrace once again
So here we go again English supporters blamed once more.
William Gaillard blames the Liverpool fans for the apparent trouble last night when genuine fans with tickets were refused entry.
This rings a bell. Wasn't it Platini that blamed the united fans in Lens when trouble was started by the police who refused genuine fans with tickets entry. Then crammed them into one area. Then to deflect the blame started crying about the free kick that only platini and the French thought should not have stood.
Then there was the trouble in Rome when the police attacked the united fans when you could clearly see the Roma fans insight a riot.
I could go on Leeds fans stab and killed in Turkey. A Liverpool fan jailed for a murder that so far he has been proven innocent. United fans jailed for 3 months in Dortmund not for football violence but drinking in a beer tent. After 3 months the case was thrown out and fans were allowed to go home.
Okay so Liverpool lost but what really winds me up is the smug smile on that French tw*t platinis face. He as like all of Uefa hates everything about England. The way we can organise successful sporting events and the way all English fans support their teams with pride.
Uefa should realise without the English teams the European competitions are on par with the Carling Cup. Because after all there is probably 14 top teams in Europe and for the last 3 years 4 of them have been English.
I believe the time has come for our government to concentrate on how there citizens are being dealt with when we go abroad instead of spending f*ckin fortunes in Iraq.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It works with fans that have a banning order
Although there has been much said about Police abroad may I remind our Liverpool Friends that due to crowds barging there way into grounds there has been very serious and deadly consequenses. Thee forged tickets were sold by scousers so you have scousers ripping off scousers - Classic. I think that the only way around this is to make a final two legged with tickets only being available to home fans thereby everyone should be able to see the final without any fuss. Ask yourselfs this WHY IS IT ALLWAYS LIVERPOOL.
I agree with you, the(bmx)bandit. But, as someone else said, that Liverpool fan was found guilty of Attempted murder - not innocent of murder (he might be either, but how do we know?), and as it's really just a case of an individual getting into mischief rather than the whole tarring with the same brush that UEFA and foreign police forces are doing with english fans.
I'm not bothered who these fans support, they deserve to be treated as human beings and with respect, just as the foreign fans are treated when they come here. Why is it that we learned lessons from our mistakes and tragedies and implemented (largely) succesful measures to counter them, but Europe does not follow suit? If anything, hooliganism in Italy and France is getting worse, yet you never hear any critisism or mention of sanctions against them by the UEFA bigwigs.

In answer to thorpedoderoma, just look at the way the police (or security or whatever they were) in Rome dealt with the fans. That is not an intelligent approach.
The Italian approach seems to be "step out of line and we'll beat the sh*t out of you and then you won´t do it again". Perhaps it works. Or perhaps that approach was a catalyst to the Italian policeman being killed this year. What happened in Rome was the police saying "go on, do it, give me an opportunity to hit you". The fans should have behaved, of course, but some people don´t.
In Britain we accept there are trouble makers and we control them. There are the same people with the same tendancy to cause trouble but we deal with it better - more intelligently, more civilised. We diffuse the touble and calm the situation before it starts. That's the intelligent approach. My brother-in-law is a policeman in the UK. He said if what happened in Rome happened in the UK the officers would be identified from the video and suspended. In the UK the police are allowed to use "reasonable force" which means once the hooligan is on the floor or even just holding his hands up you stop. The police are there to control the crowds not to issue the punishment. In Italy the police act as judge, jury and executioner; they issue the punishment there and then. And then the politicians say they did a good job! I'm sorry if you are offended but that is just not an intelligent, civilised society. Your police control crowds by fear.
Ask youself why there is never any trouble at English grounds for European matches or why there was no trouble for the FA Cup Final.
In Greece it is obvious that having a load of people unable to get in the ground would lead to these people getting angry. I suppose you think they should have all said "oh nevermind, let's go home". That's not going to happen and the authorities need to deal with it. Believe if that had been in the UK that trouble would not have happened.
The liverpool fan was jailed for an attempted murder and he has not been proved innocent

Is this just an anty Liverpool board.
Firstly I was in the World Cup in France when you all would have seen the TV pictures showing full on rioting every where England went. Trust me it was nothing like that.
I remember a picture that appeared in the Sun newspaper the day of the Romania game in Toulousse it had an English fan with the name P*ss Head and a No 1 underneath. This was a 55 year old with his wife who had bought it him as a joke.
Underneath the picture in the sun was "English Hooligans out again".
So if you believe everything the TV cameras portray then you would say that the treatment United fans received in Lens and Roma were justified.
I am not a Liverpool fan just someone who I thought could get involved in a good discussion on a message board.
Clearly I am wasting my time. I need to hate Liverpool to try and string a discussion together.
The trouble in Roma showed that they have no idea how to deal with fans. It's almost like they expect all English football fans to be hooligans and so plan to act like riot police. We all know that there are usually
1 decent fans who want to watch a game,
2 rowdy yobs who might be noisy and drunk but harmless
3 hooligans who just want to make trouble
In England we deal with it intelligently. At the Man Utd Roma match (in Manchester) there were reports of some trouble outside the ground and the media reported what the police did with words like "calmed", "contained", "diffused". No one was "beaten" or "bloodied" or "in hospital". We have a different way of dealing with crowds. It's no just us, it all of northern Europe. You don´t find Italian police tactics in Holland or Sweden or Germany. We are just more intelligent and organised than they are.

"We are just more intelligent and organised than they are."
how can an apparently (apparently I guess) normal guy can say bullshit like that (you're such a big idiot... and now maybe will you talk about the superiority of nordic and anglosaxon people????)
the fact is that you (in england) you made a good work with your hooligans but only on your ground... when a game is abroad you're dealing with the problem of hooligans again... because you can't control who's leaving the country for seeing a game like you're controlling who's entering your stadiums...
i don't find that german or english people are more intelligent than others... escuse me but i call it racism

So the pictures on TV of Liverpool fans throwing chairs and bottles about in Athens were fabricated?
As were the pictures of Liverpool fans storming the gates to get in?

I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a new machine, admiring the clean spartan interface not cluttered with anything like an Applications or systems menu. Apart from the dock-like thing to the left, it's absolutely zen-empty. This is the exact kind of interface I've long felt that Linux should adopt on the desktop if it was going to win the hearts and minds of people who never do any work.
But I have stuff to do.
I see how to launch apps, in particular a terminal window.
How do I logout? And, which I do far more frequently, how do I lock the screen?

"DE HAAN - The Rooster" Top 5 Page for this destination De Haan by RoyJava
De Haan Travel Guide: 56 reviews and 105 photos
We got some friends who hire a lovely beach-house in rather unknown though beautiful De Haan at Flanders Coast, Belgium, every year. And every year they invite us to spend some days with them along the Belgium coast. The very first time I got there the weather was horror! A cold, rainy and windy welcome for RoyJava ...
About De Haan:
"A small though so beautiful" is a famous expression for the small beach resort of Wenduine, also known as De Haan. Because the people of De Haan carefully developed their architectural planning it did not turned into an apartments complex for tourists, but became a tastefully decorated village
- Pros:Small Quiet Beautiful Friendly Rich Belle Epoque Belgium Beach Resort
- Cons:Sometimes Dull Conservative Isolated Beach Village
- In a nutshell:Peace & Quiet For Some Days - Healthy & Wonderful For Longtime After

Celebrating 10 Years of Honors!
This year marks the 10th year that the GE Honors Program has been a part of Sacramento State. Thank you to our devoted faculty, staff, and students for making our program grow each year!
Why Honors?
Interested in joining the Honors Program family? We will begin accepting applications for the 2017-2018 academic year starting October 1, 2016! Applications will be accepted until we have filled all available positions!
Outstanding Faculty
The GE Honors Program is fortunate to work with some of the most outstanding faculty Sacramento State has to offer. Dr. Roberto Pomo served as the first GE Honors Program Director and we are proud to see him recognized for his outstanding ability as an educator.
Welcome Cohort 10!
Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence! Here a group of Cohort 10 members jump with joy at their orientation. Congratulations to our newest corhort of students!
Get Involved!
As a program, we strive to give back to our local Sacramento community. One way be achieve this is participating in the annual Great American River Park Clean-Up where students beautify the American River by collecting and disposing of trash.
"Honors" Means Family
Each year our students take on one of the largest corn mazes in California, the Dixon Corn Maze! In 2015, students from Cohorts 7, 8, 9, and 10 conquered the maze once again!
Experience Study Abroad
The Honors program strongly encourages its students to study abroad. Not only does Sacramento State offer study abroad programs, but the Honors Program offers trips to places like Costa Roca, Paris, and Hong Kong where students spend two - three weeks immersing themselves into a new culture while earning transferrable college credit.
Honors Ball
Honors Ball is one of the most beloved events for students, faculty, and staff! A fantastic annual celebration at the end of each Spring semester, Honors Ball, is a wonderful opportunity for students to dance the night away with their peers. Pictured are six alumni from Cohort 1 as well as Dr. Greg Wheeler and Dr. Roberto Pomo with his wife Gail Pomo.
Honors Graduation
Seperate from the University graduation ceremony, Honors Graduation is an intimate affair that allows the program to congratulate Honors students on their success. Honors students are awarded with a medal and certificate on their completion from the program.

With increased structural flexibilities of modern wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), drive-train torsional oscillations due to high wind disturbances can be hazardous to power systems. It is particularly important to design control schemes that properly account for the flexible modes of the turbine, and maintain stable closed-loop behavior of the WECS. To capture the essential features of the problem for controller design, the approach in this paper entails modeling the various WECS subsystems: the wind speed as a stochastic process generated by an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and the drive-train as a multimass system with an elastic shaft linking the turbine with the asynchronous induction generator (IG). The proposed control paradigm is based on the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) to damp these undesired oscillations, and utilizes only one measurable feedback signal: generator speed deviation. An optimal state estimator provides a good estimation for the aerodynamic torque thereby determining the target trajectory to which the controlled system should converge. The objective is to optimize aerodynamic efficiency in low to medium winds, and add damping to the drive train at above-rated wind speeds. A pitch controller ensures the maximum power constraint is respected by preventing rotor overspeed.

Rock & Republic Jeans
Rock & Republic Fashion's Night Out Event
Rock & Republic had their Fashion's Night Out Event at their Roberston Blvd. store in Los Angeles, California. Many famous faces came out to support the the brand. Celebrities such as Natasha Henstridge and the Los Angeles Mayor himself, Antonio Villaraigosa, were there to support.
Guests were served cocktails as they mingled with each other as go-go dancers entertained and the DJ spun music. How many of you readers attended Fashion's Night Out and how many of you attended to the Rock & Republic Event?
Rock and Republic launches SV18 jean
On September 18th, Rock and Republic celebrated the launch of a new jean, the SV18 jean at Nordstrom in Santa Monica. Rock and Republic teamed up with L.A. Laker's shooting guard, Sasha Vajacic, to create the new style. The jean features a longer inseam, measuring in at 38″ and a wider leg, which makes it perfect for athletes.
Sasha appeared at the store, meeting fans and signing autographs. Fans also had the opportunity to shoot a basket and win a pair of Rock and Republic jeans and other prizes. Check out the photographs from the event below. You can purchase the SV18 jeans at Nordstrom.com
Melissa Rycroft in Rock & Republic
The SaMo Bloomingdale's was pulling out all the stops. They recently had Rock & Republic in the house, and they brought some fall finds, great grooves, Gran Sierpe pisco cocktails, and of all things — temporary tattoos at the house of little brownbags. Celeb Melissa Rycroft from "Bachelor Pad" was there getting her tat and wearing R&R Rudd low rise cropped jeans in Expectation blue. Other celebs, Tye Strickland, Amber Lancaster (Hard Times of RJ Berger) and Nicole Simone all came out to support the new denim finds, as did R&R CEO Michael Ball and President Andrea Bernholtz. The focus was skinny jeans, dark colors and 2.0 version jeggings.
Cory Monteith in Rock & Republic
Glee member, Cory Monteith, was seen going to Las Palmas nightclub in Hollywood, California. He was wearing a pair of Rock & Republic Fearless Straight Leg jeans in Mischievous Blue.
It is crazy how big Glee has gotten. Their fame just blew-up so quick, maybe not as quick as the cast of The OC, but pretty fast and I like that they are all still so mellow. Are you readers a fan of Glee? I think Jane Lynch is hilarious. Every character she plays is so blunt and I'm sure she is just as crude in this show. Click here to purchase these jeans at Rock&Republic for $188.
