Competing positions exist in the literature regarding whether problem-focused or emotion-focused coping is more useful when one confronts a chronic health-related problem. In this study, 29 infertile women, who on average had been attempting conception for almost 4 years, were assigned to six sessions of training in problem- or emotion-focused coping or to a no-treatment control condition. Problem-focused training produced improvements in general distress and infertility-specific well-being at treatment termination. However, emotion-focused training resulted in greater improvement at a 1-month follow-up. Emotion-focused participants reported less depression and more infertility-specific well-being at 1 month than did controls. At 18 months, problem-focused group members were more likely to have a child than were other participants. Results argue for the efficacy of both emotion-directed and problem-focused interventions in women's adjustment to infertility.

Beach season is almost here. Update your abs routine with five more core-chiseling moves. "They'll challenge your midsection from every angle, making you stronger in everything you do," says Durkin.

The plank is one of the best core moves you can do. In one exercise, you stabilize your spine, blast your midsection, and prevent lower back pain. But let's be honest: It gets kind of boring just hovering there. That's why Todd Durkin, C.S.C.S., author of The IMPACT! Body Plan, kicked it up a notch with the cutting-edge three-point core touch. It has the benefits of the plank, plus some. "This athletic move will target muscles in your hips, groin, lower back, and often-neglected lower abs," he says. The result is not only more core strength, but also greater total-stability. Plus, it'll crank up your heart rate and give you something to bare at the beach this summer.
Ready to try it? Watch the video below to see the three-point core touch performed with perfect form. Do 5 to 10 reps, and then repeat with your other leg. Start slow, and increase your range of motion and speed with each repetition.

Vegetarian Kinpira
2 May 2012
I received many requests for Japanese vegetarian foods, so here is the one! I made my popular recipe which I have already received 300 photo reports saying it was good, so i hope you like it ;) Kinpira is mostly seasoned with soysauce, mirin (sweet sake), and sugar so it is pretty sweet, but instead of using sugar, I used ketchup, so my recipe is tasty ;) Also, I didn't use gobo (burdock root) but commonly available vegetables (such as potato, onion, and green pepper), so I hope you can try it out!!! BTW, soy sauce is made by fermenting soya beans, so it is a vegetarian seasoning :D
1. Cut potato green pepper and carrot into short and thin strips. Slice the onion.
2. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan, and fry onion until fragrant. Add potato and carrot, and stir-fry until browned (2 minutes). Add green pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
3. Add A in the pan and stir-fry until the seasonings blend.
4. Serve hot
Recipe Summary
Difficulty Level:Very Easy
Course:Main Dish
Preparation Time:5 Minutes
Cook Time:2 Minutes
Ready In:7 Minutes
Tired of making elaborate meals? This quick fire vegetarian stir-fry means a ready meal in under ten minutes. Eat with steamed rice.

Being paranoid
Author: Didz
My 105 days of maternity leave is over as I will resume work tomorrow. Somehow I think I've been on leave like for a year long already. I began my leave end of October last year and ended today this year. See, that's like a year!
It will also mean it's my first time leaving my baby boy home. My baby is already 3 months and 3 weeks old as we speak. Back at home, my mom employed a new maid/nanny that will take care of my baby but to make my story short, I simply just don't trust her to be left alone with my baby. My mom has also been installing surveillance camera around the house to keep an eye on our new maid while she's taking care of her grandchild. That make my mom as a paranoid grandma too.
Anyway, thanks to technology that I can simply access to watch the home cctv through my smart phone anytime and anywhere that I want. There is a free app for that, both can be found from the Android market and the Apple store. But still the worries are always there. I even prepared a four pages written manual on how to take care of my baby for the maid. YUP! It's a four pages of purely readable font, all in big caps, mostly bold and underlined details on how to take care of my baby and making sure it is understandable.
I myself do not find this to be normal but as a new mom and having my first baby I think I have the right to be paranoid and at the same time hoping the approach to be effective. I'm tempted to make a video tutorial but I guess that's way too much. Hehe!

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 250217 AAA AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 917 PM CDT SUN JUL 24 2016 .UPDATE... A few isolated showers and a thunderstorm popped up over eastern Racine/nw Kenosha counties after main band had exited area in region of surface frontogenesis along surface trough/cold front. These have now pushed southeast out of the state with the boundary. Lower dew points and cooler air overspreading southern Wisconsin from northwest to southeast overnight. Adjusted winds to account for a slightly earlier decoupling of surface winds than expected. Otherwise rest of forecast on track. && .AVIATION/06Z TAFS/... Looking for VFR conditions through the upcoming forecast period. Some early low-level wind shear potential as surface winds have lowered a bit sooner than expected, but winds within 2k ft of the surface are remaining below criteria so no plans to add wind shear but could see surface to 2k ft shear values around 20 kts in the southeast between 06Z and 09Z Monday. Some patchy fog in low- lying rural areas and river valleys overnight tonight but low confidence of any fog at TAF sites. && .MARINE... Drier air moving in on westerly winds have cleared fog from the nearshore waters. Post-frontal winds not quite as strong as earlier expected and offshore fetch assures no small craft advisory criteria will be met. Winds and waves will remain below criteria through Tuesday with quiet weather. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 313 PM CDT SUN JUL 24 2016/ TONIGHT AND MONDAY...Forecast Confidence...High Showers/storms will exit the southeast late this afternoon to early evening. Could see a strong to severe storm through late afternoon, but window of opportunity will be small with the approaching front. Skies are then expected to clear out this evening and overnight as high pressure builds in behind the front. Should be a pleasant day Monday under the high, with temperatures back toward normal values and lower dewpoints. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...Forecast Confidence...High High pressure will dominate the region bringing quiet weather. It will be overhead on Tuesday morning. The NAM is showing some fog in the susceptible areas but its dewpoints look a little overdone. A lake breeze will keep the lakeshore areas a little cooler Tuesday and Wednesday. WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM There will be thunderstorm chances throughout this time period as series of shortwaves move across the region. Southwest flow will bring an increase in moisture with dewpoints rising into the mid to upper 60s Wednesday and Thursday and PWs increasing to at least 1.6 starting on Wednesday. So heavy rain is possible with any thunderstorms. Low pressure will move across southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois but there is significant differences in timing. It is accompanied by a strong shortwave shown by the GFS. Later in this period there is limited cape at times. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM Another stronger shortwave drops through late in the week so slight chance of precip continues through Saturday. By Sunday mid level ridging develops across the plains and starts to shift into Wisconsin bringing dry weather. AVIATION/00Z TAFS/... A few lingering MVFR ceilings should mix to VFR by late afternoon. Showers/storms will exit the southeast late this afternoon to early evening. Could see a strong to severe storm through late afternoon, but window of opportunity will be small with the approaching front. Skies will clear out this evening and overnight as high pressure builds in behind the departing cold front. Quiet weather is then expected Monday under the high. MARINE... Will see some fog at times into late afternoon until winds become southwest. Main focus of fog near the shore is from Port Washington northward, though fog farther from shower is possible elsewhere. Could see a few wind gusts to 25 knots through late afternoon. There will be a chance of storms through late afternoon, with it turning dry by evening.

Fruits, vegetables essential for good diet
Published: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 at 8:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 at 9:56 a.m.
As a dietitian who works with breast-cancer survivors, I know how important good nutrition is in the fight against this disease. Thats why I encourage women to continue making healthy, dietary changes, despite some potentially confusing results from a new report on breast-cancer survival.
In June, a report from the Womens Healthy Eating and Living study showed that women previously treated for breast cancer who consume at least five daily servings of fruits and vegetables and are physically active have a nearly 50 percent reduction in mortality risk. A new report from the same study shows that there is no further benefit from increasing fruits and vegetables beyond the five-a-day point. But thats no reason to dismiss these healthy foods, especially when previous studies have shown that plant-based diets and low-fat, high-fiber diets improve cancer-survival rates.
Fruits and vegetables also contain a multitude of important cancer-fighting phytochemicals and antioxidants not found in other foods. Eating more than five servings a day is not harmful -- in fact, fruits and vegetables play a big role in weight and cholesterol control and heart-disease prevention.
For free healthy recipes and more information on cancer and nutrition, visit www.CancerProiect.org.

"Heart of the Silk Road" Uzbekistan by bartman_9
Uzbekistan Travel Guide: 1,836 reviews and 6,379 photos
Uzbekistan lies literally in the middle of nowhere: cut off from Russia by the endless steppes of Kazakhstan, seperated from China by the Tian Shan mountain Range, isolated from India by troubled Afghanistan. Long ago however, this was the throbbing heart of the fabled Silk Road and the splendour of cities such as Samarkand and Bukhara was the envy of the world. Today Uzbekistan is recovering from the economic and ecological damage inflicted by seventy years of communism. To the traveller it offers a unique experience far removed from mass-tourism, very hospitable people and some of the finest Islamic architecture in the world.

|About AEIP
The European Association of Paritarian Institutions (AEIP), founded in 1996, is a Brussels-based advocacy organization representing the Social Protection Institutions established and managed by employers and trade unions on a jointly basis within the framework of the collective agreements. For the AEIP presentation leaflet, please follow this link.
All AEIP members are non-for-profit and cover a number of social protection benefits:
AEIP promotes social security and protection at the European level. It monitors, influences and sometimes opposes the European law making process on the interests of its members and according to its positions. The Association works in close cooperation with the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Economic and Social Committee.
Besides, the Association is an official member of a number of EU Consultative Groups, such as the European Commission's Pension Forum and the EU Joint Action on Health workforce Planning and Forecasting. The AEIP Secretary General is also a member of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority's (EIOPA) Occupational Pension Stakeholders Group (OPSG).
Recently, as a key player in the area of social protection at European level, AEIP contributed to Jean-Claude Juncker's new Investment Plan. The European Commission Chairman wishes to establish a system in which "Member States, as well as regional authorities, have a clear role to play in pursuing the necessary structural reforms." The Plan aims at reversing downward investment trends and helping to boost job creation and economic recovery, by taking a decisive step towards meeting the long-term needs of our economy, increasing our competitiveness, and strengthening the European dimension of our human capital, productive capacity, knowledge and physical infrastructure.
AEIP stays up-to-date and tackles the latest news. Its most recent activities are available in the right column of the present page.
With its many members (from 27 countries) and its broad network (with universities through protocols of cooperation and Global Pension Alliance with foreign countries – including Canada, Japan and the United States of America), AEIP aims at becoming a key player ensuring the defence, promotion and sustainability of paritarian social protection schemes in Europe.
AEIP's objective is to promote paritarian social protection schemes and defend the shared interest of its members. We promote a responsible and efficient paritarism across Europe and are recognized as an added-value for our members and partners. For further information on AEIP's mission and vision, click here.

So I've been messing with this for hours and hours and hours ...
I have a custom homepage where I want to pull the next upcoming event in an event category. I'll admit I know this is a hack job but I've tried everything ... HELP!
It is a custom homepage ... unfortunately using the shortcodes doesn't allow me to pull the information that I'm wanting.
Basically the idea is to pull the same information that I'm pulling for the other I have one for each category pulling the most recent post with a thumbnail, excerpt, and title.
You can see above that the third column should be the "event" area ... I can even get it to pull the excerpt and the featured image... but it pulls the last one posted not the next upcoming event. which is what I'm wanting.

Pop-rock vets Chicago to play Milwaukee's Riverside Theater
Veteran pop-rock act Chicago returns to Milwaukee April 30 for a 7 p.m. show at the Riverside Theater, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave.
Formed in 1969 as the Chicago Transit Authority, the horns-and-harmonies-powered band has had 21 top 10 singles in its 40-plus-year tenure ( "Saturday in the Park," "25 or 6 to 4," "If You Leave Me Now," "Make Me Smile," "Hard to Say I'm Sorry," etc.), and is still recording new material, including "America," posted online earlier this year. »Read Full Article(2)

Jay Leno ending TV show career Thursday night
Jay Leno steps down from his role as host of "The Tonight Show" on Thursday, a position he has held almost continuously since 1992. He has more than 4,600 shows under his belt — that's a lot of monologue jokes. Bill Clinton was one of the biggest target of those jokes. As far as politicians go, anyway. For celebrities, it was O.J. Simpson.
Those findings were reported Tuesday in a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University. Yes, those people sifted through 43,892 jokes told by Leno on "The Tonight Show" between May 25, 1992, and Jan. 24, 2014, and tallied them up. »Read Full Article(1)

'Uncommon Folk' exhibit celebrates 200 years of American art
As early as the 1950s, the Milwaukee Art Museum was before its time in recognizing the value of art considered outsider, visionary, folk or self-taught. Over the years it amassed one of the most extensive collections of its kind. "Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art" is the payoff: an impressive display of that foresight, one worth celebrating.
And "celebrate" is about right. The show packs the museum's feature exhibition space with almost 600 objects, and the organizers can't hide their affection for this astonishing number of items. From walking stick to whirligig, watercolor to wood carving, these objects are presented with obvious pleasure, and often with a joyful wink. »Read Full Article(269)

'Evita' captures power, if not passion, of Webber's musical
When watching Caroline Bowman in the solid if sometimes stolid touring production of "Evita" — in town this week at the Marcus Center — the first thing you'll notice are her eyes.
Much like the legendary Evita Perón, Bowman's Eva smiles a lot but her eyes never do. They're the cold, restlessly calculating eyes of a hungry and never-satisfied shark, perpetually on the prowl for its next meal — whether that be another man who can further her rise to power or the country she'll devour once she arrives. »Read Full Article(3)

Countdown to Spring: 44 Days
It seems like a big number, 44. Spring is out there, sure. But it's way beyond that frozen horizon line for now.
The days-until-daffodils reality we're living in is enough to induce denial. We recommend burrowing in and hunkering down with arts and books editor Jim Higgins, who will be exploring one of John Updike's art-inspired short stories today.

Lois M. Collins: Dwindling percentage of intact families poses grave threat to children's futures
Utah scores high in group's index of family belonging
WASHINGTON — By age 17, fewer than half of American teens live in homes that include both biological parents, married to each other. And that portends grave problems for not only the children who are not, but for the country as a whole.
The implications stretch from families, churches and schools to the marketplace and government. That's the theme of the second annual "Index of Family Belonging and Rejection," released Thursday by the Family Research Council's Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI).
The "belonging" and "rejection" scores were determined by parental action: "Whether they marry and belong to each other or whether they reject one another through divorce or otherwise." It's important, the group noted, because family structure influences all aspects of a child's future, including education attainment and whether he or she will live in poverty or have children out of wedlock. Step-families don't offer the same benefits, it said.
Just 45.8 percent of kids at age 17 are in intact married families, said Patrick Fagan, senior fellow and director of MARRI, during a national news conference announcing the findings Thursday.
He said the strongest states were Minnesota, followed so closely by Utah that the difference was not statistically significant, then New Jersey. Coming in last were Mississippi, New Mexico and Nevada. Washington, DC, while not a state, was singled out for an index so "pathologically low" and a "performance so dismal," it was noteworthy, the report said. DC's belonging index was 18.6 percent, almost half as low as the worst-ranked state, Mississippi, at 34 percent.
"Most fathers and mothers cannot stand each other enough" to raise the children they have together, said Fagan. "We have never faced anything like this in human history so we're all learning how to grapple and turn this around."
He called on government to gather and publicize data on the links between family living arrangement and youth development, and other links between family characteristics and how they function and to enact policies that ensure those in need do not have unintended consequences that create moral hazard and encourage the formation of more high-risk families."
When marriages fall apart or don't occur, children are much more likely to live in poverty and to have children out of wedlock, the report found. On the other hand, an intact married family is strongly linked to better high school graduation rates, although the amount of money spent by government on promoting graduation has "diminishing returns." Family structure, Fagan said, has more impact on educational outcomes than that government spending does.
As they looked at indicators, said Nick Zill, a Washington, DC-based consulting psychologist and researcher, they found huge variations in wellbeing across states. In Wisconsin, for example, 91 percent of students graduate from high school, while in Nevada, just 66 percent do. It is not, as some claim, the "presidential politics of a state" that matters. Minnesota is a blue state, and North Dakota is red, but both do well in child wellbeing measures. Maryland is blue, Virginia red and both do moderately well. And race and ethnicity alone don't tell the story of child wellbeing, either. Appalachia, for instance, scores poorly and is predominantly white.
Low skills, on the other hand, make a difference. And the higher the family stability indicators, the better off a child is going to be, Zill said.

Another gorgeous one, I love how the color slides down the page, these are incredible. I've been trying to get into water color lately, and I for sure wouldn't have the talent to do eyes the way you are, but would it be okay if I tried to recreate some of your trees and flowers for practice? I don't have an etsy shop or anything like that, it would be just for practice at home

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane have updated their future non-conference football schedules, Director of Athletics Ross Parmley announced on Thursday.
The biggest addition is a game at Ohio State in 2016. A date for that game is to be determined, but will likely be either Sept. 10 or Sept. 24.
Tulsa also announced new home-and-home series against New Mexico and Toledo. The Golden Hurricane will travel to New Mexico in 2015 and host the Lobos in 2017. Toledo will visit Tulsa in 2016 with the Hurricane returning the trip in 2017.
Three games were removed from Tulsa's future schedules, and two of those were the result of conference realignment. North Texas was set for a home-and-home in 2014 and 2015, but the Mean Green will become conference counterparts with the Golden Hurricane in 2013. Also removed was a 2015 home game against ULM.
Other top FBS match-ups that were previously announced include three games against Oklahoma, one home (2014) and two away (2013 & 2015), and a trip to face Oklahoma State. The Oklahoma State contest was moved from 2016 to 2017 due to the addition of Ohio State.
Parmley also told Tulsa World that they are close to signing a home-and-home agreement with Utah for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
Listed below are the future non-conference schedules for Tulsa. Dates from 2013 forward are tentative:
Tulsa had one of the most insane out-of-conference schedules last year that I have EVER seen. Other than North Texas, their lineup was brutal: at Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and at Boise State.
While I admired the schedule, playing three top-10 teams OOC is a lot to handle. But it is cool to see them playing high-level opponents. I guess they have an advantage being near both OK and OKSU.

I can't seem to set a maximum width for the header in the Swiss theme, how can I do that? I have a 1600px wide image, and don't want it stretched. I tried adding:
max-width: 1600px !important;
to the stylesheet, but it didn't help.
Also, the header doesn't show on the posts & pages. I've never seen that with other themes. I'd like to have the header show everywhere.
One other thing: with a small mobile screen, the word "Menu" appears on the menu bar, pushing other menu items down, thus creating a thicker bar. How can I stop that from happening?
Thanks for any help.

For many people, music provides a passive diversion from mundane everyday tasks. Others, however, have learned to use the tools of such seemingly trite tasks to actually make music. For a demonstration, check out the return of STOMP, coming to the Ordway Center for a one-week exhibition of creative percussion from such unexpected "instruments" as trashcans, recycling bins, hubcaps, brooms, and Zippo lighters. Since STOMP's inception in 1991, the show has achieved international fame for its innovative blend of inventive musicality and deft physicality, picking up widespread acclaim and spawning numerous touring casts along the way. For this latest production, STOMP co-creator Steve McMicholas has sought to defy expectations while still honoring the show's premise "to create rhythmic music with instantly recognizable objects, and do it with an eccentric sense of character and humor." Promising the most extensive changes since the late 1990s, the reworked STOMP employs new acts involving paint cans, tractor-tire inner tubes, and bungee cords. The display is sure to inspire a different view of musical possibilities, but a word of caution: Even the most rhythmic of desk bashing isn't generally appreciated at the average office. Better to leave such makeshift percussion to the pros.

Stewardship Overview: Ailanthus is a fast growing tree, a prolific seed producer, a persistant stump and root sprouter and an aggressive competitor with respect to the surrounding vegetation. It occurs primarily in disturbed areas, though it may invade undisturbed habitats. It was brought into California mainly by the Chinese who came to California during the goldrush in the 1890's, and frequently occurs in abandoned mining sites. Little work has been done on developing biological or chemical control methods. The most effective means of control may be to pull seedlings by hand before the tap root develops.
Species Impact: Although only occasionally found in nondisturbed areas (Kowarik 1983), Ailanthus is a prolific seed producer, grows rapidly and can successfully compete with the native vegetation. It produces toxins which prevent the establishment of other species (Mergen 1959). The root system is aggressive enough to cause damage to sewers and foundations (Hu 1979).
Ailanthus was not nominated by any specific preserve manager, but is recognized by TNC staff as an important exotic weed. A recent survey (2 March 1985) of CNPS members showed a wide distribution of this tree throughout California. Members of both the Mt. Lassen and Sequoia chapters consider it a major pest at low elevations. There are also reports of it growing in Santa Cruz, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and San Diego counties.

Boats may keep birds from stealing crawfish
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 12, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
THIBODAUX - LSU researchers are creating a new device that will help local crawfish producers prevent birds from stealing their harvests.
Agricultural engineers at the LSU AgCenter are working to develop robotic boats to scare away the birds.
"It is a problem in this area. These birds will come in and flock to good feeding sources and won't leave until their food runs out or get frightened away," said David Bourgeois, an LSU AgCenter fisheries agent in Lafourche and Terrebonne parish. "When the crawfish are out of their burrows in the ponds, they try to hide in the vegetation. The young ones are feeding and growing actively right now, and the birds take their share."
In the winter months, the problem seems to worsen.
"The yellow-crowned night heron has always been a problem," said Reid Cancienne, a former crawfish producer in the Lockport area who has given up the pursuit because of persistent saltwater intrusion in the area. "When we were crawfishing, we would stand inside the levees and watch them come in at night. There's definitely some predatory birds. No doubt about it."
In the early 1990s, area crawfish producers were hit particularly hard by pelicans, which are protected by law. Routinely, herons, ibises, black crows and even some duck species will feast on crawfish in area ponds.
"When we got the birds, there's really nothing you can do because most of them are protected by the federal government," said Percy Chiasson, a crawfish producer in Choupic.
Producers can use certain devices such as propane cannons or laser cannons to frighten away the birds. But those options, engineers say, prove expensive, often in the neighborhood of thousands of dollars.
They estimate, however, that - should the robotic boats prove successful - producers could purchase them for $500 to $600.
The boats, they say, will benefit the crawfish producers and the birds.
"We want to make it environmentally friendly, a device that will just haze the bird and get him back into nature and off the pond," said Randy Price, who, along with Steve Hall, is working to develop the boat.
Price and Hall say the boats, which will resemble miniature houseboats, will be propelled by paddlewheels and will top out at 5 to 7 mph.
Engineers have equipped one model with a camera to sense motion, which then triggers a water cannon to frighten the birds away, and shore feelers to keep the boats in the ponds.
So far, tests at the AgCenter's Aquaculture Research Station have proven successful despite challenges such as wind resistance in larger, commercial ponds.
Along with providing a less stressful experience for the birds, engineers are hoping the project will result in a less labor-intensive method for farmers.
"It will take care of the farm pond without the farmer having to put human labor into it," said Price. "That's what we're striving for."

Three activist groups flew a blimp emblazoned with the words
"Illegal Spying Below" over the National Security Agency's
data center in Utah in protest against the federal
government's mass surveillance programmes.
The one-hour flight over the high-tech facility was launched
by the environmental group Greenpeace, digital rights
activists the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and a
conservative political organization, the Tenth Amendment
The 41m long blimp, which is owned by Greenpeace, was adorned
with a sign that read, "NSA Illegal Spying Below."
In an email to Reuters, the agency declined to comment.
But a spokesman did note there is no restricted airspace over
the data centre, housed on the grounds of the Utah National
Guard's Camp Williams, in Bluffdale, 37km south of Salt Lake
The facility, which the NSA says provides the government with
intelligence and warnings about cyber security threats, is
thought to be the agency's largest data storage centre.
The blimp protest coincided with the launch of an online
campaign that rates members of Congress on actions the
activists say either further or stop data collection efforts
by the NSA.
Greenpeace said the report cards on the site
standagainstspying.org were created by analysing NSA reform
bills in Congress and weighting proposals on the degree to
which they would end mass data collection.
"Our right to privacy is not a partisan issue. It's a human
rights issue," said Michael Boldin, founder of Tenth
Amendment Centre, which advocates for decentralized
"This coalition gives great hope for the future because it
shows that people across the political spectrum can set aside
differences to work together."

Thanks Justin for a great plugin.
Presently I am working on a Buddypress community forum. In buddypress avatars stores in a directory named with the ID of the member at "wp-content/upload/avatars" and avatar images suffix with -bpthumb/-bpfull.
I have seen that FB-Connect caches FB Avatar and stores them in a pre-defined directory at "wp-content/upload/facebook-avatars" with the file name starts with user ID and end with -Full or -Thumb.
My question is, is it possible to create a directory named as User's ID and avatars images end with -bpfull/-bpthumb instead of _Full/_Thumb?
I have found the code in "_process_login.php" which may stores the FB Profile pictures as WP Avatars.
if( $fbuser['pic_square'] )
if( isset($fbuser['pic_square']['data']['url']) ) $avatarThumb = $fbuser['pic_square']['data']['url'];
else $avatarThumb = $fbuser['pic_square'];
if( isset($fbuser['pic_big']['data']['url']) ) $avatarFull = $fbuser['pic_big']['data']['url'];
else $avatarFull = $fbuser['pic_big'];
update_user_meta($user_login_id, 'facebook_avatar_full', $avatarFull);
update_user_meta($user_login_id, 'facebook_avatar_thumb', $avatarThumb);
$jfb_log .= "WP: Updated small avatar ($avatarThumb)\n";
$jfb_log .= "WP: Updated large avatar ($avatarFull)\n";
update_user_meta($user_login_id, 'facebook_avatar_thumb', '');
update_user_meta($user_login_id, 'facebook_avatar_full', '');
$jfb_log .= "FB: User does not have a profile picture; clearing cached avatar (if present).\n";
I am not an expert in PHP coding but I can understand it little bit. I think if I modify this section then I may able to fulfill my requirement.
Could you please help me to guide how can I do that? Pleas!!
And sorry for my bad english as I am not a english speaking person.

Lu Bricate (pronounced bri-kah-tay) and Katie Gold co-host this okay compendium of hardcore scenes. The action is varied, but some anal is included in each one.
For the opener, Trina Michaels puts Sascha's dick in her butt and ends up in piledriver. Petite Latina Chiquita Lopez gets stuffed full of Dirty Harry in all three inputs. Vanessa Lane gets sandwiched (and d.p.'d) in between Alex Sanders and Joel Lawrence. Sydnee Capri and Lain Oi team up for a three-way. And Jada Kiss shares screen time with Asia in a four-way.
In between scenes, Katie Gold gets topless and fondles herself for the camera.
