Hi there,
I realise this issue has been raised a few times before but I think my setup might be a little different so need a little help.
I've recently installed a multisite sudomain network and am having trouble with images I'm adding to my new, second site's media library. I've added the blog folder in the wp-content folder and the uploads seem to find their way there fine.
However, they're not displaying in the media library or anywhere else – all that appears is a their filename as simple text.
I'm guessing my .htaccess nends to be tweaked - I've tried a couple of things which didn't work but have now reverted to this:
# BEGIN WordPress

India May Cut Rubber Import Duty as Demand Soars
India, the fourth-biggest producer of natural rubber, may allow imports of as much as 100,000 metric tons at a lower duty to meet surging demand for tires as rising incomes boost car sales, Trade Secretary Rahul Khullar said.
The finance ministry may make a decision after the end of the current session of parliament which runs to Dec. 13, Khullar said in an interview in New Delhi yesterday. The trade ministry has recommended imports at a concessional rate for a maximum of 100,000 tons and tax changes on tire imports, he said, declining to elaborate. Rubber imports are taxed at 20 percent.
Rising incomes in the world's second-most populous nation may help more than double annual car sales to 3 million by 2015, according to the government, boosting demand for natural rubber. Prices in India reached a record last month on concern that the low-output season in Southeast Asia will worsen a deficit.
"Domestic production is not going to increase dramatically, demand is going through the roof because factories are being set up to make radial tires," Khullar said. "The pressure on prices will continue tight through next year, until you resolve the availability issue."
Bridgestone Corp. and its Indian rivals including Apollo Tyres Ltd. and MRF Ltd. are investing $3 billion in plants to meet demand that's forecast by Automotive Tyre Manufacturers' Association to expand 10 percent to 106 million tires in the year to March 31. Rubber makes up 42 percent of raw material costs, according to the manufacturers' group.
Stocks Rally
Tire makers' shares jumped in Mumbai trading. Apollo gained 2.1 percent to 67.5 rupees, after losing 7.7 percent last month. JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. added 1.5 percent to 147.25 rupees and MRF climbed 2.2 percent to 8,028.85 rupees. JK shed 11 percent in November and MRF lost 15.6 percent of its value.
Futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange reached a 30-year high of 383 yen on Nov. 11 as rain in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, the top three growers, interrupted tapping and lowered production. May-delivery rubber on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange gained as much as 1 percent to 363.8 yen per kilogram ($4,351 a ton) before settling at 363.5 yen.
Passenger-vehicle sales in India in October increased 38 percent from a year ago to a record 231,957 units, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers said on Nov. 10. About 1.4 million units were sold in the April-October period, compared with 1.53 million for the whole of the last fiscal year, according to the group.
'Stagnant Production'
"Demand-supply gap has been widening over the past two to three years because of stagnant rubber production and rising car sales," said Vaishali Jajoo, an analyst with Mumbai-based Angel Broking. "There will be imports in the coming years if there's no fresh supply and the auto sector continues to do well."
She has a "accumulate" rating on Apollo and a "buy" recommendation on JK Tyre.
Imports in the year to March 31 may exceed 200,000 tons, from 170,048 tons a year earlier, tire makers association's Director General Rajiv Budhraja said on Nov. 11. Production dropped for a second straight month in November after rain hindered tapping in Kerala, India's top producer, state-run Rubber Board said today.
Output totaled 88,500 tons, compared with 93,500 tons a year ago, it said. Imports in the eight months ended November totaled 143,468 tons from 139,321 tons, as tire companies stepped up purchases to bridge the shortage, the board said.

Find all that you need to research Porsche SUVs.
Porsche is a luxury and performance auto manufacturer based in Germany. Porsche was founded in 1931, and since 2012, Porsche has been under control of Volkswagen AG, which also manages the Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley automotive brands. Volkswagen and Porsche had a history of collaboration and partnership, which resulted in vehicles such as the Volkswagen Beetle, the VW-Porsche 914, and the Porsche 924 in the 1960s and 1970s. It wasn't until 2002, though, that the first Porsche sport utility vehicle was revealed, and that was also due to development with Volkswagen. Since the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne sport utility vehicle, other Porsche SUV models have gone into development, and Porsche has become a firm competitor in the luxury sport utility vehicle category. Porsche sport utility vehicles are especially popular in Europe and North America, although they are exported to selected markets throughout the world.
The aforementioned Porsche Cayenne was the brand's first entry to the luxury SUV category. It was codeveloped with Volkswagen and Audi, and is thus visually and mechanically similar to the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7 sport utility models, all three of which were released on the same timeframe. The Porsche Cayenne, which became available for the 2004 model year, is a mid size crossover SUV, featuring a front engine layout and four-wheel-drive capability. It is produced at Volkswagen assembly facilities in Slovakia and Germany, and bears the distinction of being the first Porsche V8-powered vehicle since the Porsche 928 was canceled in 1995. Later, Porsche added VR6 and turbodiesel engines to join the V8 and the V8 turbo options that powered the first examples of the Cayenne, with the Volkswagen-sourced VR6 becoming the base model drivetrain. Although Porsche purists were hesitant to accept the addition of a Porsche sport utility vehicle to the lineup, overall reception to the Cayenne has been positive, since Porsche was careful to deliver the power and handling capabilities expected of the brand, and sales have been strong despite the similarities between the Cayenne and the lower priced Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg models. The second generation of the Cayenne was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland in 2010, and the vehicle is still in production.
The success of the Cayenne has inspired new Porsche sport utility vehicles to be added to the lineup. The Porsche Macan, a compact SUV, is another joint project between Porsche and other Volkswagen AG brands, as the Macan is based on the established Audi Q5. Porsche announced this new SUV in 2010, and in 2013, Porsche said it would become available for the 2014 model year. It will be slotted below the Porsche Cayenne in the lineup.

b.) I did not see any chloroplasts in the cells.
c.) The iodine turns the potato cells black and is orange as it leaves the bottle.
d.)Starch grains are located in the organelles.
e.) You don't see chloroplasts because potato's themselves do not need to utilize photosynthesis because they grow underground.
a.) These two cells do not react in the same way to iodine. The onion does not react to iodine because onions do not contain starch.
b.) I did not find any chloroplasts in the onions which did supported my hypothesis because onions grow underground.
a.) The cell is transparent.
b.) The cell is ovular in shape.
c.) The cell wall is alot more semi-permeable and thinner then the thicker tomato skin cell wall.

1.) These cells all have cytoplasm, some sort of structural organelle, a nucleus and an nucleitus.
2.) The plant cells are much stronger because un-like animal cells, they have solid cell walls instead of semi-permiable cell membrane.
3.) All cells have some sort of structure organell, cytoplasm and a nucleus.

History September 11, 2001
I went to pieces when I watched this on 9/11. I went to pieces watching it again this morning.
Via Sullivan.
« The Morning News (Grim Anniver... | Latest Poll: McGavick Down 17 ... »
My wife still can't stand to watch anything about 9/11, not even ficticious TV miniseries about it.
Mine either. Or me.
oh, how we've squandered international sympathy in the past five years. way to go, mr. president.
Me neither. It's as though sadness has to be mediated through fiction. We can't just let something be.
I was studying in england when 9/11 happened, and I have to say that the british people were absolutely wonderful. Nearly everyone that I spoke to expressed a very genuine concern about me and oddly my family, even after I explained that they were nowhere near any of the attacks.
It is a shame that friends that have visited since haven't always gotten such a warm reception.
I could care less about 9/11.
Since 3,000 people were killed at the World Trade Center:
1,500 people were killed in Lebanon;
1,900 people were killed in Hurricane Katrina;
At least 2,500 Americans and 50,000 have been killed to date in the Iraq war;
75,000 people died in the Kashmir earthquake;
275,000 people were killed in the 2004 tsunami.
Let's be honest with ourselves for once and admit that 9/11 was one more minor catastrophe in a world filled with tragedy and grief. All things considered, it's a small and insignificant event which has been turned into a major calamity by insular Americans. The bad TV and dumb movies advertising its "importance" only deepen my numbness. I'm ready to forget the whole thing.
I know this is chickenshit, but will someone post a brief summary of this clip before I press play? I realize it is the anniversary, but I'm trying to break with American tradition by not dwelling with obsession on our darkest hours.
Sure thing SB.
Clip summary: Bitter citizens of the last world empire shed crocodile tears over the impending death of the current world empire.
How's that?
Similar to what Charles was saying - I lived in Dublin on 9/11, and in the weeks after the attacks people were so amazing, caring, sympathetic and wonderful when they found out that I was from the US. I can't remember the last time I had an interaction like that with somebody over here. It really didn't last long.
Thanks, gurldoggie. I have decided, therefore, that I don't need to see it. Frankly, I don't think anyone needs to see it. Again, it's prudent never to forget 9/11, but is it really necessary to dwell? I believe our collective inability to move on is what helps George W. justify his "war" on terror as well as his constant and consistent violation of our Constitutional rights.
I pretty much concur with all of y'all. When I watched the clip, I imagined that those people were stuck in time and that they had no clue how long of a ride we would still be on today because of our misguided policies. The President and his Administration really fucked up and that is all.
Remember the Le Monde headline? "We are all Americans"
I, unwisely, decided to watch _United 93_ yesterday. It was done a little too well, and left me physically ill after.
Strange the details that really started to fill in the dread, like the quarter-full planes.
And, fwiw, I think liberals especially should talk and remind people about the attacks. Remember, the only real successes five years ago came from ordinary citizens rejecting authority and rules, and doing what they knew to be right. While the military and government sat impotent, flailing and cowering, it was random assortments of citizens who organized their floors, crawled down stairs, and started to fight back. Remind people that while Bush was flying to Nebraska, Rudy was wandering around Southern Manhattan, it was empowered citizens that made the real response.
That's why this clip IS important. It's a testament to what we've lost, what we've squandered. There was a moment when the world united against terrorism (real terrorism). We wasted that moment.
It makes little sense to me to ignore the anniversary. Sure it's over-hyped, but something happened, and it changed everything. Most of us don't like what's happened since, but that's no reason to close our eyes to what happened then. Real innocent people died, they can certainly be honored without cynicism.
It is prudent to remember, and to care, because it was us. I've been in the old World Trade Center; I've sipped cocktails and listened to Ana D spin discs at Windows On The World. I applied for a job at the World Financial Center. I had read books about the twin towers (which, contrary to mythology today, were universally reviled by New Yorkers; the one thing they were good for was as a directional marker if you were lost somewhere in lower or middle Manhattan.) One of the odder things about that day is the weird sense I had of the WTC being MINE, this was a tragedy for ME, and none of the people around us (we were in Montana) knew what this really, really meant. That's absurd, of course, but that's what I felt at the time.
But the question afterward was, and is, "what now?" And the answer given to that question was the wrong one.
We justifiably and correctly went after the Taliban in Afghanistan. But then, almost immediately, in classic USA short-attention-span fashion, we threw away that opportunity to go off and chase...what, exactly? New psychotic horrors. And as a result we have lost Afghanistan, and everything else we could at one time have hoped for in the middle east; and nothing is resolved, and nothing is fixed, and nothing is avenged, and nothing is created.
9/11 was a tragedy that HAPPENS to you, but what's happened to us since then is a far greater tragedy, because it was deliberately, out of sheer stupidity and bloody-mindedness. And all the work still needs to be done. Harder now.
FNARF, have you read Fiasco? I'm only a few chapters into it, but it has a lot of insights about the affect 9/11 had on policy both in afghanistan and later iraq. being only a small way in I can't speak to many details yet, but I've found it to be a really good read and it sounds like it would be right up your alley given the stuff you touched on @14.
It's on my list. I really don't think you can understand America without understanding mental illness; we're all just a big collection of pathologies.
speaking of collective mental states, has anyone been watching (online) CNN's rebroadcast of their 9/11 coverage? Its interesting to hear the anchors talking about the event in terms that seem so cliche to us now. Listening to them trying to comprehend the event as it unfolded is kind of an interesting perspective given all the static we've had to listen to ever since.
Seems Al Qaeda timed their attacks well - when the US leadership was composed of people willing to play the terrorists' game and begin destroying everything in pursuit of various special interests.
Al Qaeda's strategy is working perfectly for them. As the guy says, when you crash a plane, your target is not the people on the plane, or the people in the building. Your target is everyone else. And, as a trip to the airport now amply reveals, the terrorists are completely in control of large portions of our daily lives now. And they are bankrupting us.
Of course, Gurldoggie, all of those damned natural disasters -- hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes, oh my! Why not add the number killed by cancer? Or by being struck by lightning? Or by choking on a ham sandwich?
I will not rest until we track down every strom front and every overstuffed sandwich! The war on weather!! The war on deli meats!! Put another way: are you a moron?
Charles, I watched the CNN coverage rebroadcast last night. I never got to see how the news was being reported in real time, as the towers were both down by the time I woke up that day. Hearing the anchor ask again and again what kind of navigational system breakdown could have sent 2 planes into the towers was just eerie.
I actually still find this to be quite beautiful.

Approaches to Teaching Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
- Editors: Miriam Youngerman Miller, Jane Chance
- Pages: xii & 256 pp.
- Published: 1986
- ISBN: 9780873524926 (Paperback)
- ISBN: 9780873524919 (Cloth)
"As a plan of study for teaching, Approaches to [Teaching Sir Gawain and the Green Knight] will not easily be surpassed."
"This book eliminates any excuse medievalists or others might have for failing to make the poem shine in all its craft and ambiguity. For sophomore surveys to upper-division and graduate courses, this volume is simply the place to begin rethinking our presentation of the 'lel letteres loken.'"
One of the most widely taught medieval English poems, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight still provides many challenges for teachers. What is the best way to explain to students its alliteration and unusual stanzaic form? Why does the poet begin with the fall of Troy? On what Arthurian tradition is the author drawing? Would the lady's behavior have been conventional in the Middle Ages? Why does Arthur's court laugh in the end—is the poem a comedy? In this volume, twenty-four teachers offer strategies for successfully presenting the perplexities of Sir Gawain in a variety of courses.
Like other books in the Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, Approaches to Teaching Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is divided into two parts. Part 1, "Materials," surveys materials useful to classroom instruction, such as translations, anthologies, reference works, and teaching aids. Part 2, "Approaches," begins with background essays on teaching the poem within the traditions of romance, chivalry, courtly love, religion and law, and medieval aesthetics. The essays that follow discuss ways to include the poem, both in translation and in the original, in courses ranging from freshman composition to graduate seminars. A final section includes ideas that can be adapted to any class—from reading the poem aloud to sponsoring a medieval banquet.

Product Overview
With Late Registration, Dr. West has indeed delivered the medicine. And once again, he did the only way he can: with honesty, humor and his conviction in continuing to prove himself by making great music. Enlisting composer/producer Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann) to lend his skills to the album's production, West's newest offering is a big album in every sense of the word. His trademark sample-based arrangements have expanded to include live instrumentation. West has always been an artist who challenges not only himself, but his audience and his fellow musicians with new ideas and new ways of expressing the joys and sorrows of life through music. Late Registration does just that as it takes down avenues and alleyways filled with sound and vision.
Throughout, Late Registration's sheer depth of musicality is what's most impressive. Dark and eerie at times, uplifting in others - tracks like "Touch The Sky" and "Celebration" come to mind--the album finds Kanye at once madly in love with hip-hop music, and fighting with it like a lover scorned - trying to push it's boundaries, to see how far it will go. A daunting task, indeed. But it seems as though West--as stressed as he is--is more than up to the task.

Artist Bio
|Kanye WestNo matter who you are or where you lived in 2004 - if you owned a radio, television, computer or CD player, you felt Kanye West's presence. Since the release of his 3 million selling, critically acclaimed-debut The College Dropout, the Chicago-born 27 year old rapper/producer/hip-hop icon has been at the top of the charts and at the top of his game. From the red carpet of the 47th Grammys - where he topped all nominees with a historic ten nods and took home awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best R&B song - to the millions of albums sold, a sold-out stadium tour with Usher, and his ubiquitous presence on MTV, BET, CNN, and radio stations nationwide, West grew from being an artist to watch to an artist you experience.Since stepping out from behind the production booth that birthed chart-topping hits like "Izzo (H.O.V.A.), "Get By", "Stand Up" and "You Don't Know My Name" for marquee artists such as Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Ludacris and Alicia Keys to focus on his tremendous talents as a lyricist and songwriter, West has proven himself to be the most vital artist in hip-hop today.After co-producing tracks for Harlem World and the Mad Rapper at the tender age of 20, West caught his break when the heads of A&R at Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records--Kyambo "Hip-Hop" Joshua and G. Roberson - were blown away by his soulful approach to hip-hop production. Even back then, West's unique talent made him stand out above the crowd. His use of vintage R&B samples and live instrumentation gave his work a warmth and emotional honesty that wasn't to be found anywhere else at the time.While his early work suggested greatness, it was on Jay-Z's now-classic The Blueprint that West first achieved it in a major way. Drawing from the Jackson 5 ("Izzzo (H.O.V.A)), the Doors ("Takeover") and the Temptations' David Ruffin ("Never Change"), West created the soulful yet gritty sound behind Jay's best tracks that his imitators (whose numbers would grow with each release) are still trying to copy today. But like any true original, West was in a league of his own--creating the future of hip-hop as he dug back in time with his unique samples to connect the past with the present in a brand new way. Before long, West was being hailed as the future of hip-hop.West's groundbreaking work with Jay-Z made him the most in-demand producer in the game and as word spread of the "wonderkid from Chi-town," he would produce hits for some of its biggest stars: Talib Kweli, Cam'ron, Scarface - the list went on and on. Already having signed Kanye to their production company, Hip-Hop Since 1978 (formerly Roc The World), Hip-Hop and G secured a deal at Roc-A-Fella for West as a recording artist. Now recognized as a fiercely talented producer and MC, it seemed as though nothing could stop West - until an auto accident in October of 2002 turned his world, and the hip-hop world he was conquering one hit at a time, upside down.
|The Guardian
|The music offers further evidence of how far outside rap's usual strictures West operates. OutKast aside, mainstream hip-hop doesn't really do ambiguity or irony, but just as West's arrogance occasionally appears to be a protracted joke, Late Registration finds him in thrillingly subversive form, working in the production booth to undercut tracks' messages and shifting their meanings.
|The sprawling Late Registration is the year's most accomplished rap album, and in turn, he's done something that his heroes-- the Pharcyde and Nas, and father figure Jay-Z-- couldn't do: deliver on a promise the second time around.

text: For a smooth projective curve $C$ and $f,g \in k(C)^*$, we have $\text{div}(f)=\text{div}(g)$ iff $f=ag$ for some nonzero constant $a$. Is this still true for higher dimension smooth projective variety $X$ ? I believe this boils to : for all nonconstant $f \in k(X)$, $f$ must vanish somewhere on $X$? This sounds intuitive and trivial, but I can't find it in any reference. Any suggestion? Thank you.

Released: Dec 01st, 2000
Running Time: 87
Director: Lyndon Fogg
Company: Around The Block Productions
Cast: Stonie, Billy Ayall, Nick Madison, David Byrd, Chris Dano, Drew Andrews, Eli Starr, Paul Morgan
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
The young guys look great on this unexceptional box cover. The street kids angle and some hot action will make this a possible word-of-mouth success.
Paul Morgan gives a great performance as a sleazy investigative reporter, delving into the lives and, ultimately, asses of L.A. street kids. Tape begins with Billy Ayall getting pronged by his pimp, Drew Andrews. Hot butt Stonie takes Chris Dano to get modeling school money. Eli Starr is done by Nick Madison, a young, hot john - could this have been a freebie? - in the elevator and then Morgan has a white-hot session with hustler David Byrd.
Only problem here is that the young guys tell some of the most depressing stories of all time between the action. Kudos for reality, but there is nothing quite like parental abuse to bring on a de-rection.

I have been experimenting a lot lately with different technologies for drawing 2D-sprites on iOS (CoreAnimation, UIViews, CGContext and Open GL ES). The best performance versus developmenttime I got from CoreAnimation so I will stick to that (for the time being).
To display bitmaps I use CALayers - which works just fine and not much slower than Open GL. There are multiple patterns which repeat often (which is typical for a platforming game). For memorysaving reasons I would like to reuse a stored Image for multiple CALayers.
Can I do that? How? I imagine something like:
- Store Bitmap in whatever form (UIImage?) in memory
- Get a CGImageRef from UIImage
- Apply CGImageRef to each CALayer which should display that Bitmap
Will this actually store only the pointer to the bitmap for each Layer or does "Apple-magic" create a copy of the bitmap for each CALayer?
Thank you.

Could you please help me with the OnMouseOver attribute?
Here is a description of what I need:
When you hover over one of the images, I want text to appear on the image that says, "View" or something like that. I need the text to be a link, as well.
Here is an example of what I am trying to make it look like:
http://jsfiddle.net/dYxYs/ (Just hover over the "100x150" image)
Except I need the "text,text,text, etc" to be a link to another page.
I have looked all over the internet but, due to my knowledge of CSS and JS, or lack thereof, I can't make heads or tails of what they're talking about. Could someone give me some help?
Thanks alot!

Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.
Alex Rodriguez (1975 -)
Contributed by: Zaady
This is how I define grace: You're on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. That's where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know I'm prepared. You aren't scared of taking a test when you are ready for it. My first couple of years, I was just kind of swimming, trying not to drown, but now. . . .
A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success.
Alec Waugh
He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.
Albert Pike (1809 - 1891)
If A equal success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Source: quoted in London Observer, 1950
The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.
Source: Monthly Review, 1949
It is high time that the idea of success be replaced by the idea of service.
Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for every one, best both for the body and the mind.
Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.

Curriculum and Instruction
Saraland City School System employees attended numerous trainings during the summer months to gain scientific research-based strategies to ensure the curriculum, instructional practices, and assessments for each content area are rigorous and relevant for the 2015-2016 school year.
In June, Saraland High School hosted the Region 10 Regional Support Staff (RSS) Mini-Conference conducted by the State Department of Education (SDE) and the South Alabama Research and Inservice Center (SARIC). Teachers from the southern region of the state attended the two-day conference. During the month of July, Central Office staff, school administrators, and teachers attended Mega Conference conducted by the SDE to acquire the most current information concerning curriculum and instruction. Moreover, Saraland's teachers and administrators participated in trainings offered through the South Alabama Research and Inservice Center (SARIC).
In June and July, secondary teachers attended Advanced Placement (AP) trainings, presented by A+ College Ready and College Board. These teachers will continue to attend Pre-AP and AP trainings throughout the school year. The trainings equip teachers with the strategies needed to teach the Pre-AP/AP curriculum correctly and effectively. In addition, the training assists high school teachers in adhering to the A+ Partnership School guidelines. Throughout the school year, middle and high school teachers will collaborate to ensure they are instructing an aligned, rigorous curriculum for the core subjects to students.
In July, elementary administrators and teachers attended the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) Year 2 mathematics training to acquire additional innovative strategies for teaching mathematics. K-5 teachers will continue training with AMSTI throughout the school year. These trainings support teachers in implementing a student-centered, hands-on approach to math instruction. The instructional strategies are designed to bolster student motivation for the subject of math and increase their procedural and problem-solving skills. Additionally, middle school science teachers attended AMSTI Science Year 2 training in July 2015 to enhance science instruction and increase student science skills.
The school system is extremely proud of receiving a state grant for the Compass Learning Program. Compass Learning provides a K-12 learning acceleration software ™ for enhancing instruction. During the pre-inservice days in August, elementary, middle, and high school administrators and teachers participated in an intensive training conducted by Compass Learning. This training will assist all schools and the Central Office in identifying student performance levels, diagnosing skills and concepts gaps, and prescribing individualized learning paths for students.
The Saraland City School System is excited about implementing the new strategies acquired in the plethora of trainings attended this summer and looks forward to working throughout the year with students, parents, and the community.

I viewed you videos and the view from the sky is wonderful. We are thinking of a trip to Greece-so returned to take in more facts and pictures/comments for your always great job of describing the visit
Hello, Sergey! I like your description of the places you have visited.... Well done! ><><><
Wonderful to read about and watch Delphi, which I missed during my Greece trip ages ago. The landscape is stunning and it is really a very important site to ancient Greece. Ahh and thanks again for your lovely music in your videos... Vangeeelis :-)
Excellent web site about Delphi!
Absolutely wonderful page on Delphi. Hans and I really enjoyed our visit to this special place. Like you, we really loved the museum.
I was in Delphi few years ago and I want to go back there with my family on my next visit to Greece in October. Thanks for your tips as it will help me decide. Will be back to your pages to see more interesting places.
Great page Sergey! Very famous, so thanks for showing it to me.
Excellent page Sergey! I visited Delphi last month, but arrived so late that I just had one hours to rush through the sanctuary. Missed the museum...really a pity!
Interesting page with brilliant photos. Sergey, you seem to be the Tourist Information Center of Greece. *winkygrin*
A great page and a wealth of information! Too bad that there are so many visitors in Delphi! Next time, I will try to visit out os season. You succeeded in "hiding" the tourists!

Not only do taxpayers foot the bill for St. Clair Ambulance District board members to have personal cellphones, but their spouses also get the free perk courtesy of the district and its taxpayers.
Ambulance Chief Bill Hollo confirmed to The Missourian that the personal cellphones are given to any board member and his or her spouse who request it, and the district picks up the tab each month. Board members also receive a $100 cash stipend every month for attending meetings.

But Hillary said that she was already the most vetted candidate in history. So, Obama took her at her word. Besides, why vet someone who has been in the public eye for so long.
Because he said she'd be on anyone's short list? So if he didn't vet her, that was a lie.
Change, unity yadda yadda yadda.
What a liar.
@2 For the love of God, stop pouting.
PC is imploding. It's fun to watch.
SusanUnPC, lying never bothered you before. Why now?
I like your style. Minus McCain.
A quote from that very politico page:
An Obama aide said "absolutely exhaustive research was done on her over the course of the 16 month primary. She was researched more closely than any candidate in history."
Hillary has been in the public eye for a very long time. Call it a vetting by default. I don't think it's extremely likely that she will be Obama's running mate, though.
Why would anyone in their right mind want her as VP? It'd be like having Lady Macbeth as your running mate.
@2 what is the lie, exactly?
HRC didn't need to be vetted. Everyone already knows her liabilities. Wrong on the war, lousy manager, miserable failure at healthcare, and her cheating/lying/impeached/dis-barred husband.
Memo to O: Wesley Clark, please.
At this point I take everything that is said about the VP choice with the proverbial grain of salt. It is all disinformaiton.
@2 - Now THAT'S funny! Here's what I wrote in the Chet Edwards comment section not five minutes ago:
"To paraphrase PC: Hillary's perfect, blah blah blah, I'll whine and pout if it's anyone but her. Then I'll post a 12-page rant about how much Obama sucks, but then I'll write 'unity' at the bottom to make people think I'm not a psycho spammer just like clintonsarmy."
Thanks for proving my point for me. Well, minus the 12-page rant. But I'm sure it's coming.
the lackluster patrician family Dem. white guy centrist from Indiana, B. B., is it
let us pray Mc Cain keeps making mistakes
Hilary was his coupon to victory - such false pride in the jungle of top end international politics, can we chant JFK a few times in memory of practical politics that yielded a win??
such belt way and small town players, but then, wah wah wah....I don't like her haircut or her negatives cause the right wing don't like her either ... bah
Birch B. will be booed from the convention floor
and unless Obama has the best speech the world has ever heard, well ... the nitty gritty buzz will be he peaked two month ago
all glam and little slam, I so do fear
@13: also dead. You may be thinking of Evan Bayh?
Susan, if you didn't shit in your own nest every day, you wouldn't need to keep changing your identity. Don't you think there's a reason why everyone hates you so much?
Oops, sorry. Birch Bayh senior is NOT dead. He's 80 years old. Wikipedia is my friend.
I've always thought he would choose Hillary.
She is his ticket to win.
Otherwise, her 18 million voters will walk.
If he doesn't choose her, he's more of an idiot than I already believe him to be.
If he doesn't choose Hillary, she should go to the Convention with both guns blazing and sue the pants off the DNC (over Michigan and Florida), and get that nomination.
The Democrats have lied about "one person one vote." They're liars. And Obama is the king of liars.
Hey, someone ask Obama, "How many brothers do you have?" "How much money have you sent your half brother living in that hut?" "Is that what you meant by your quote, 'for the least of these?'"
What a hypocrite.
Hillary needs to steal the show at the Convention.
I'm voting for McCain.
@17 *yawn!*
Susan, you moron. Everyone already knew you would never vote for a black man. You have never fooled anybody. Not for one minute. Please go away and stop this.
@17, see my post above (@4). It applies to you too. Enjoy your weekend!
You'd think the Obama people would be less arrogant and more gracious condidering they can't win without her supporters.
you think hillary supports would be more pragmatic about the future of their country.
@21 - um, have you been paying attention to what the Clinton supporters have been doing?
Pot, meet kettle.
The whole Hillary supporter thing is a bunch of crap: A handful of dried-up old hags makes some noise, and we're all supposed to burst into tears. Typical baby boomer nonsense. Their fat old broad didn't get the nomination, so they're knocking over the checker board and throwing a tantrum.
Well, nobody's listening anymore, ladies. So pack up your pantsuits and your Joni Mitchell albums and shuffle off to the assisted living facility, or wherever it is old people go when no one wants to see or hear them anymore. You may have been hot when you were being all angry in your 20's, but you're just a bunch of shrill old biddies now.
Oh yeah, did I mention you're behaving just like your mothers?

Have you tried calling the one ISP that won't allow the site?
If this is a fairly new domain registration, it's possible the ISP hasn't caught up. Sometimes it takes 72 hours for a new domain name to propagate throughout the entire world. Geographic location of the ISP's local office has nothing to do with it.

This has been a message from the Terrorist Advisory Committee for 'explosive' results ...
Jesus Christ, Will. Do you feel fucking compelled to make a smart-ass "humorous" comment on every single story? Someone *died*, you shithead...
it's not enough to remind people not to mix ammonia and bleach together.i'm sure that people are more familiar with product brand names and what they purport to do rather than whats in them. people need to check the ingredients of their household cleaners carefully to note what specific toxins they contain. i was a professional housecleaner way back in the day and had to use tilex to mop a floor that had black mold growing in the tile grout. i then rinsed the floor with mr clean. i noticed the mist rising from the floor probably at the same time i began inhaling it. i fled immediately but still sufferd a burn on my lungs which resulted in a trip to er and a lifelong affiction with asthma ( of course i'd probably primed the affliction inhaling oven cleaner fumes). an innocent stupid mistake which is way more common than people realize..
so again..
DO NOT mix household cleaners ever. EVER !
What a tragic and unnecessary loss :(
Why don't we all do our bodies and the environment a favor by switching to vinegar or baking soda as our primary household cleaners?
*DO NOT mix household cleaners ever. EVER !
To be precise, it's entirely possible to create WW1 poison gas at home:
Vingegar, Baking Soda, Salt, and Lemon can get you a long way towards what you want to do, cleaning-wise.
Bleach is good too - so good that it doesn't need a companion. Respect the bleach.
And the best way to keep your shower drain clean is to use one of those little screeny things. Yes, they can get some gnarly stuff in them, but that's better than having to try to unclog the pipes later.
The only purpose I know of for Ammonia is for stripping the finish off your linoleum, which is a necessary evil from time to time.
Thank you for posting that Amy Kate. I have heard that you shouldn't combine cleaners, but I didnt' know why or which ones. Much appreciated.
Does baking soda and/or vinegar work on tub scum? I tried switching to a safer, ecco-friendly citrus-based cleaner but it doesn't touch the stuff. It's hard to be a neat freak and avoid harsh chemicals.
A 1:1 mixture of lemon juice and vinegar will dissolve soap scum, and if you need some scrubbing power sprinkle baking soda over the scummy bits after they've had a good soak in the vinegar solution.
Hydrogen peroxide is also a good cleaning product, I use it on mildew stains.
It's also a good mouthwash if you dilute it. Go figure.
Bon Ami is really good for tub scum and it's completely non-toxic, but you have to put some elbow grease into it.
I think the best message is to let people know that their homes don't need to be as sterile as a hospital. Use all non-toxic cleaners and a little bleach to kill mold. Anything more than that is overkill.
It's a sad fact that when we are constantly exposed to "household" chemicals, we get complacent about them. Someone who would never step into a laboratory and start pouring things into beakers won't think twice about letting random chemicals mingle, just because they bought them at the grocery store.
For the same reason, if you're taking prescription medications, for gods' sake, talk to your physician about what over-the-counter medications you might use. This includes herbal concoctions and "dietary supplements" which are just as likely, and sometimes more likely, to interact poorly.
Good point, BC
oh, and it's not that I don't care, it's just I've seen way more than my fair share of dead people from explosions. So, if I'm not "shocked", it's because it's more common than you realize.
More and more reason why products should have their active ingredients displayed clearly on the front label, not buried in the back mess. I recently lost a shirt to a new formula of dishwasher detergent, which secretly contains quite a bit of bleach. Now, losing a shirt may not be a big deal, but what if you're running the dishwasher during the same cleaning spree as mopping the floor, and spill some detergent?
In other news, Seventh Generation makes a line of cleaning products based on hydrogen peroxide and orange oil that can probably replace some of the crazier cleaning chemicals out there.
Amy, this is absolutely terrible. I wish the best for your friend's family. :(
..and your friend too of course.
Yes, never mix cleaning products, and WEAR A MASK.
I gave up using ammonia or ammonia-based products some time ago. There are just too many stealth-bleach products out there, and I really don't need a lungful of chlorine gas.
I use a lot of baking soda and vinegar. I love using them together to keep kitchen drains clear; stuff a couple cups of baking soda down the drain, then pour in a cupful of ammonia. Mini-volcano! And it is good for helping a slow drain, although it won't do squat for one that's already clogged.
Duh, a cupful of vinegar, of course, not ammonia. I do actually know the difference!
A mask. Right. Unless you've got a full-on gas mask it's not going to help much against chlorine gas.
Actually, don't wear a mask. Open the kitchen window - and turn on a fan.
The best cleaning product is Borax. Great for cleaning and deodorizing kitchen and bath surfaces, works like more abrasive baking soda. It also works good as a combo with laundry detergent, like bleach. It's non toxic if you don't eat it or rub it into open wounds.
Dare I even mention the perils of eating pop rocks and drinking diet cola at the same time?
DING!...Darwin hands out another award!
Read the effing lables, people...
Duh, open a window and turn on a fan too, and of course it's not gonna help if you're mixing chemicals like you're NOT supposed to. But don't tell me with a straight face that wearing a mask is a complete waste.

Anthem to delay some insurance cancellations
For the second time in a week, a major insurer has agreed to delay the cancellation of health plans that were due to be terminated on Dec. 31 and replaced by ones that comply with the stricter coverage requirements of the Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare.
Anthem Blue Cross said late Monday it has agreed to a request by the California Department of Insurance to extend existing coverage for 104,000 of its customers until Feb. 28.
That is a minority of the people who have received cancellation notices from Anthem, a company spokesman said.
The company declined to give the total number of policyholders facing cancellation.
The department requested the extension because Anthem failed to give those policyholders 90-day notice of cancellation, as required by state law, due to a computer glitch, the company said.
Policyholders have until Dec. 15 to accept the extension.
The announcement comes amid a political storm over cancellations, which have hit nearly a million Californians and several million more nationwide despite repeated assurance by President Barack Obama that people could keep their health plans.
Obama last week apologized and said his administration was looking at ways to address the problem.
Covered California, the state-run insurance exchange, said recently that about 600,000 of the 1 million state residents losing their current coverage might pay more for new policies.
The rest will qualify for federal subsidies to purchase health coverage through the exchange, and will likely pay less.
Last week, Blue Shield of California said it would delay scheduled cancellations for 115,000 members by three months, giving until March 31 to choose new coverage. Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones threatened to sue Blue Shield for failing to give the required notice.
"I have believed and continue to believe that there really is no reason to require all these people to be canceled on Dec. 31," Jones said. "But the law doesn't let me stop them, unless there's a defect in the notices being sent out to people."
Jones estimated that if all 104,000 Anthem members being offered the two-month extension accepted it, they would collectively save about $20 million in premiums. But that is not a good enough reason for people to stick with their current plans through February, he said.
"We would encourage everybody, including these Anthem Blue Cross customers who now have more time, to shop very carefully and look at all the options," Jones said.
He strongly encouraged people who are eligible for subsidies through Covered California to "take advantage of that by Dec. 15."

My DH liked this I was only so so on it but it was a first for both of us having a rarebit LOL I do have a hard time with the measurements since my scale is kaput so can't weigh anythingLOL I know I could use the converter but that would only convert to ounces. So I just had to kind of go by look and feel LOL I used baby bellas and thought It could of used more mushrooms Made for 1,2,3 Hit Wonders Tag
This is fantastic! This got such rave reviews at dinner tonight. I touted it as a low carb rarebit! It is! Thanks, BlueMoon DownUnder! Made for Went to the Market Tag.
My husband just loved this! I used part portobello mushrooms and part white button. I had been given a bottle of Bud light so used that. I'm sure the Guinness stout would have been tastier. Yummy way to fix mushrooms! Thanks!

I am an ASP.NET web developer and small business owner. I maintain a network as a hobby, and to keep myself sharp on server technology, as I interact with them all the time as a part of my job. I also like the flexibility of running my own Exchange server. I have an MSDN Subscription, so that is the source of my licenses.
Currently I have 3 physical server computers.
One is a Windows Server 2k3 ISA Server 2006 box. It does all my firewalling / routing.
The other two physical servers are virtual machine hosts. I am in the process of switching over to Hyper-V from VMWare Server 2.0. I am rebuilding all my servers from scratch in the Hyper-V environment, and I would like to take this opportunity to fix some of the flaws in my infrastructure. The rest of the servers I will be describing are virtual machines. This is my current setup:
- Windows 2k3 Standard Exchange 2003 Server and Domain Controller (same VM). Does my DHCP and DNS. Also runs RADIUS server. I use the RADIUS to authenticate VPN users. Takes up to an hour to reboot!
- Windows 2k3 Standard alternate Domain Controller that is also my Certificate Authority. Does DNS.
- Windows 2k3 Standard Web / SQL Server 2005.
- Windows 2k8 Standard Web / SQL Server 2008. I prefer to use this one to host the majority of my apps because I like IIS 7, but I have server #3 to act as a staging environment for clients who have only IIS 6 and/or SQL Server 2005.
I have learned that it is generally not recommended to have Exchange on a Domain Controller. There are weird dependency issues and I have to run a batch file to shut down exchange server services before rebooting, or the reboot will take up to an hour!
My Virtual Machine hosts are each dual core 3GHz, with 16 gigs of ram and 300 GB of RAID 1 storage. I've very happy with the hardware. This network is mostly a hobby, but supports a small number of clients who occasionally come in to check on the web apps I am building for them.
Where I am looking for help is in the number of VMs I should have, and the roles each one should play.
I am thinking this (All VMs are 64-bit unless otherwise specified):
- Windows 2k8R2 Enterprise Primary Active Directory Server. Does DHCP, DNS, and RADIUS. Is 768 MB of RAM enough?
- Windows 2k8R2 Enterprise Backup Active Directory Server. Also does DHCP, DNS, and RADIUS. I would like this to always be running, and handle DHCP, DNS, etc, if Server #1 is down.
- Windows 2k8R2 Enterprise Exchange 2k7 server. I figure it should be all by itself and not play any other roles.
- Windows 2k8R2 Enterprise Web / SQL Server 2008 (just like before but updated OS).
- Windows 2k3 Standard Web / SQL Server 2005 / 32-bit (just like before).
- Certificate Authority. Which server should do this? Should it be its own server?
- (and beyond) Are there any popular services that I have not mentioned?
Each Host would run 3-5 VMs, and I would make sure that 1) and 2) were not on the same host, in case that whole host goes down due to hardware failure.
Does this configuration cover all the bases? Have I distributed the roles appropriately? For example, is it a bad idea to have DHCP and DNS on the same box?
I realize a lot of this hinges on what I plan to use my servers for. I basically want to run a simple windows environment with all the most popular services, so I can have practice using them all. I think lots of people will consider my setup overkill. But I enjoy maintaining the environment as a hobby, and it gives me a lot of exposure to windows infrastructure that I would not otherwise have. This knowledge comes in handy when I deploy my apps at client sites.
I am happy to supply additional information. Thanks!

Just a year ago a young looking Davis Webb stepped onto the practice field sporting a skinny 6'4" frame and fighting to be the starting quarterback.
Fast forward to present day and Webb has transformed into a confident, mature sophomore. Throw in 20 pounds of added muscle and a haircut and you've got this year's starting quarterback at Texas Tech.
He is just a completely different person and his confidence is as fierce as ever which is something he'll need being the leader of the Red Raiders. There's no one better to take after than his own coach Kliff Kingsbury.
