NEW YORK (AP) - Oil futures today rose to a trading record of
$122 a barrel. The momentum comes amid a forecast of higher prices
still and news hinting at supply shortages. Retail gas prices edged
lower, but appear poised to rise to new records of their own in
coming weeks.
The new Goldman Sachs prediction that oil prices could rise to
$150 to $200 within two years seems to have prompted much of
today's buying. A falling dollar and increasing concerns about
declining crude production in Mexico and Russia have contributed.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery jumped to a new record of
$122 a barrel before retreating slightly to trade up $1.92 at
$121.89 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Oil prices have nearly doubled from about $62 a barrel a year
ago, which Goldman sees as a sign that the world is in the midst of
a "super spike" in oil prices. The analyst says in a research
note that prices will ultimately force demand to fall sharply.

By Turk

I had one along time ago and lost it. I'm gade to have one again. I like it because you caan put the informationin like regular or overlap in a cascade down for easy find on one opening. Also if youo don't need it anymore just through it away instead of ereaasing.
I wouldn't buy this again.

from Bothell, WA
If you have a lot of addresses you need to save in your address book, this ISN'T the book for yoju! When I put enough address sheets in the binder, the PLASTIC rings wouldn't stay closed, so it was very difficult to turn pages. I gave up, sent it to a charity, and bought one with metal rings.
Vendor good; Product not so much
By Char
from Elberton, GA
The address book design was perfect for my needs. However, the rings do not close tightly and the pages catch in the rings and do not smoothly turn.I was encouraged at the response and order fulfillment by Walter Drake. The product is as cheap as the price. Shame on me for thinking this book's could not be screwed up. I would buy again from Walter Drake, but reluctantly so, fearing product quality.
I would not buy this product again.

The death toll in Syria's civil war has topped 136,000 after January saw one of the conflict's bloodiest months, an NGO said Saturday, as violence claimed even more lives.
But the prospects of a peaceful outcome looked dim after 10 days of talks in Geneva yielded no tangible results and the regime said it was unsure whether it would return to the negotiating table.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the death toll at the end of January was at least 136,227.
The Britain-based group's director, Rami Abdel Rahman, said "January was among the bloodiest months since the beginning of the conflict" in March 2011.
Among the dead were 47,998 civilians, including more than 7,300 children.
The Observatory said the real toll could be much higher because of the extreme secrecy of rebels, jihadists and the regime about their casualties.
At the end of December the toll was 130,433, but fighting between rebels and the regime, as well as between them and jihadists, has claimed nearly 6,000 lives since then.
The conflict began after a regime crackdown on peaceful anti-government demonstrations, prompting people to take up arms against President Bashar al-Assad.
In addition to the dead and a much larger number of wounded, millions of people have been displaced internally and as refugees in neighbouring countries.
There was no let-up in the bloodletting on Saturday, with at least nine people killed when regime helicopters dropped barrel bombs on the northern city of Aleppo, the Observatory said.
At least another seven died in a double car bombing carried out by the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant targeting a rebel headquarters in Aleppo.
Moderate and Islamist opposition fighters have been battling ISIL since early January, after accusing the group of a spate of abuses against civilians and rebels.
Meanwhile, in the central province of Hama, the Observatory said at least 12 government fighters were killed around the town of Morek.
Deadly Lebanon car bombing
The group said rebels, including from the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front, had seized Morek overnight, cutting a strategic regime supply line from Hama city to two military bases in neighbouring Idlib province.
And in neighbouring Lebanon, a car bomb killed at least four people and wounded 15 at a petrol station in the eastern town of Hermel, a stronghold of the Shiite Muslim movement Hezbollah near the border, the army said.
The attack is the seventh targeting Hezbollah strongholds since the group said it had sent men to Syria to fight alongside Assad's forces against mainly Sunni rebels.
Meanwhile, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said it had distributed aid for a third consecutive day to the Yarmuk refugee camp, which has been under a choking siege that the Observatory says has left 88 people dead from starvation and lack of medical care.
On the diplomatic front, the two sides and world powers were assessing the 10 days of talks in Switzerland last month which showed few results, and with prospects of a follow-up meeting uncertain.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem was blunt after the final session Friday, saying "we have not reached tangible results".
Despite persistent pressure from UN-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, and co-sponsors Russia and the United States, regime and rebel delegations failed to agree on a single point.
On Saturday, Muallem dismissed what he branded the "coalition of the so-called 'opposition'", and said it had been a "stain" on them that they had refused to sign a declaration condemning "terrorism" in Syria.
The regime had sought to focus discussions on "terrorism" -- its term for those seeking Assad's overthrow.
Muallem also took US Secretary of State John Kerry to task for insisting at the opening of the "Geneva II" conference that Assad "will not be part" of any transitional government.
And he repeated earlier assertions that his team would await guidance from Damascus before announcing whether it would attend further talks, tentatively set for February 10.

Look your best this summer!
Why, he's supporting her, of course.
Last year, Taylor Swift actually spoke about her fear of being recorded without her knowledge…
Taylor Swift has long projected an image of Nice Girl Perfection, but that era is over.
A selfie with Kim Kardashian will cost ya.
Kim Kardashian may have effectively broken the internet again with the release of her Snapchat video that "exposed" Taylor Swift, but now she's really done the impossible: make Piers Morgan feel remorse.
"May God forgive you & your wife for doing to others the very things you pray are NEVER done to your daughter."
Looks like someone can't play the victim after all.
Eesh! He knows how to hit below the belt.
Taylor Swift hoped for the best, but she may have prepared for the worst.
"Refrain from commenting on my family and OUR business…"
Taylor Swift threatened Kanye West with criminal prosecution months ago for secretly recording her phone conversation with him … TMZ has learned.
Another day in the saga that is Taylor Swift's feud life.
Did anyone tell her it was going to be 95 degrees?
It is that time of the week again! We've rounded up the hottest Kardashian fashion from this week!
No Photoshop here!
The Kardashian girls aren't gonna get blasted by some beauty company sitting down … they've just fired off a lawsuit saying the outfit has screwed them over.
"I am still trying to understand the whole feud between Taylor Swift and Ye that happened about this whole song."
Kim Kardashian's camouflage jacket couldn't hide the fact that she wore a totally sheer dress last night.

How can i remove the responsive code so my whole site displays normally on a phone. Instead of it messing up do to it trying to fit on screen.
In other words how do i make the twenty twelve theme non responsive
How can i remove the responsive code so my whole site displays normally on a phone. Instead of it messing up do to it trying to fit on screen.
In other words how do i make the twenty twelve theme non responsive
You may want a different theme. Twenty Twelve was built to work on mobile phones first before desktops. This means you can't simply remove
media queries from the CSS because website's layout will disappear. You have to create your own desktop-only CSS rules, for a lot of elements.
so there is no way to do this
No, there is a way. You have to create your own desktop-only CSS rules for a lot of elements.
I just did this yesterday. It's very tricky. You have to remove the media queries section in the CSS, edit the header.php and functions file. There's also a navigation.php file that needs to be left out when the theme loads. I now have it non-responsive though so it is doable.
could you please tell me what you did to the funtions file header.php and how can i leave out the navigation.php
Removing the navigation.js file is done in functions, look for:
* Adds JavaScript for handling the navigation menu hide-and-show behavior.
wp_enqueue_script( 'twentytwelve-navigation', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/navigation.js', array(), '1.0', true );
Either remove this or comment it out. This stops the mobile nav kicking in when on mobile device.
I removed the mobile meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
I also removed the mobile code where the html for the menu was, leaving just this:
<nav class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
CSS was all that remained, so near the end where the media queries are, you want to change it to always show the full size:
@media screen and (min-width: 10px) {
.site {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 980px !important;
overflow: hidden;
There may be a few more minor edits, but I think that's most. Worth a try and see how it is after you've done those, but my TwentyTwelve now is non-responsive and looks on mobile the same as desktop.
Hope this helps.
ok thnx a lot ill try it out
Make modifications in a Child Theme environment.
@Phil: Please do not encourage people to edit the Twenty Twelve theme directly. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. All customisations should be made via a create a child theme or a custom CSS plugin.
only problem is the nav went away after the code change ?
<nav class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
[Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. As it stands, your posted code may now have been permanently damaged/corrupted by the forum's parser.]
Of course child themes are best practice - as well as making backups of everything should things go wrong - as they often do.
and esmi i made a copy of the twenty twelve theme so im not editing it directly.
try adding this to bottom of CSS:
.main-navigation ul.nav-menu,
.main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul {
display: inline-block !important;
If I remember, it adds display 'none' so you need to overwrite.
yea it shows but the old css isnt working for it. and can some one tell me why the sidebar isnt displaying right now.
i mean the sidebar is broke on this page
You've removed some CSS for 'site-content' and specifically a
float: left;
thank you that fixed it. i forgot i removed that when messing with figuring out how to remove the responsive design. now if i can figure out why the menu isnt using the css like it did before ill be golden
@esme and @Phil...just a note that WordPress.Org included me in an email on this topic because @Phil, you and I evidently get the same notification search results on any posts where our shared name is in a reply (albeit yours is used with an upper case "P". Aside: @Phil, how come I wonder that you ended up with the same WordPress member name as me? I suppose the engine that verifies member name changes does not look at case?
For the record, I concur with both of you, in that child themes are best practice, and making a backup first of whatever you are editing. And I definitely try to use the custom CSS plugins first before ever messing with an original theme.
i fixed the nav menu thnx for the help phil im going toss a donation your way.
yes!!! this just worked for me too!
Yep - worked for me too!
does this no longer work for twenty twelve?
i tried this again for a newer site im working on
and it does not work.
site is thepreciselife.com
i also tried deleting from
/* =Media queries-------------------------------------------------------------- */
/* =Print
Forget everything do as below:
OPEN style.css and find below line:
@media screen and (min-width: 600px)
and change it to
@media screen and (min-width:300px)
and add the following rule to the bottom of the css :
#page {
width:1000px; /*or whatever width you want the site to be*/
Do not edit the Twenty Thirteen theme. It is the current default WordPress theme and having access to an original, unedited, copy of the theme is vital in many situations. First create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin.

My family's journey epitomizes the mythic American Dream. The United States is a land of immigrants -- beginning with the Pilgrims that inspired Thanksgiving -- who come for freedom and opportunity. And that's why the debate over Syrian refugees hits home for me.
Read Whole Story
As this once war-ridden country rushes towards the future, Vietnamese-Americans like me are coming back with a desire to contribute to the nation building, through the lens of our American education, upbringing and culture.
I spent three months in the ABC Saigon Bureau in 1971, coming not from the States but from Moscow. An election was in progress. Vietnam had some 30 newspapers, all but one complaining that the voting was rigged, quite a contrast with the press in Soviet Russia.
It was my relationship with a former partner that finally prompted me, in my 30s, to come out to my parents. And it was that relationship that finally led me to bring a man home to meet my parents. It turns out that I did not give my mom and dad enough credit.
Being invited back to the Tet parade by members of their own community is a bigger step towards true inclusion of LGBT people in Little Saigon than a court victory alone could achieve.
Andrew Lam's Birds of Paradise Lost captures the universal immigrant experience -- where versions of paradise are both lost and gained -- through the very particular experience of the refugees who fled Vietnam during the Fall of Saigon in 1975.
Vietnamese nail workers have worse problems than bad, racist impressions -- they face the highest exposure to dangerous chemicals, and the government is doing very little to help them.
In recent years, law enforcement officials nationwide have reported increases in human trafficking. By some estimates there are around 20,000 victims brought into the United States each year.
In late June, the metal gates of the 740 acre Chirkizovsky bazaar-- the largest in Europe and venue for many immigrant merchants -- slammed shut, leaving an estimated 100,000 people without work.

Comedy from Opry to Waukesha's Fox River Christian Church
Last Saturday night, Henry Cho made a return engagement to the Grand Ole Opry. This Friday, the comedian brings his "Funny but Clean Comedy Tour" to Fox River Christian Church in Waukesha (S46 W24130 Lawnsdale Rd.).
For the past three decades, the Tennessee-born comic has been honing an act that mixes his life observations and family interactions with his own Southern charm. As can be guessed by the title of his current tour, Cho maintains a clean act. But, it doesn't pander. His jokes work both in night clubs nationwide and the churches he visits on the "Funny but Clean Comedy Tour." »Read Full Blog Post

Is this a common slang in US? If this is common, what is the meaning of it? I found only one hit from google search. It's here.
As a native speaker of American English (Midwest and East Coast) I've never encountered the word dirted in slang or any other use. An appropriate alternate word would be dissed, meaning 'disrespected'. In the original context the phrase would change to:
In this context, hardcore means 'intensely' or 'severly', as in definition 2 here. It is worth noting that while the definition shows 'hardcore' as an adjective, it can also be used as an adverb in cases such as the above example.
Hope that helps.

You could put in a feature that allows you to print an external html page and allow it to be put in the shortcode. Also you could add a feature that allows you to pull in a specific external css file. All features could then be added to the shortcode as an option. These features would be nice to have. Thanks!

Children Suffer as States Cut Health Budgets
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
As the recession forces more hospitals and doctors to pare costs and services, the cutbacks are hitting one group of patients especially hard: children.
The Grabo family of Las Vegas learned this firsthand in December, weeks after a state budget crisis prompted Nevada lawmakers to cut Medicaid payments to health-care providers, some by as much as 40%. Two of the Grabos' four children receive Medicaid benefits to treat their disabilities. But the day before their son Tyler, 10 years old, was scheduled to see his pediatric endocrinologist, the doctor's staff called and said he no longer accepted patients with Medicaid.
Elizabeth Grabo says she was able to find just one other local endocrinologist who still saw children covered by the government program for the poor or disabled, but she couldn't get an appointment before March. Without a doctor's supervision, Tyler, who has suffered from muscle and joint problems since birth, had to stop a growth-hormone regimen he had started just a few months before.
"It's not the fault of the physicians. They're actually losing money to see these patients," Mrs. Grabo says. "But to know we have no options is the scariest thing."
The economic slump is hitting many medical centers and practices in a variety of ways. Credit remains tough to come by, revenue is down as some patients forgo care, and the number of uninsured is ticking higher as more people lose their jobs. On top of that, some two dozen states around the country have enacted or proposed steep cuts to Medicaid payments because of severe fiscal crunches.
Children's hospitals and pediatricians are among the hardest hit by state cuts. That's because, while children have always made up about half of Medicaid's rolls, their numbers have swelled in recent years to the point that at least 22 million, or one in four, U.S. kids now get their health coverage through Medicaid or a state Children's Health Insurance Program. States often administer CHIP, which is aimed at families with more income than Medicaid participants, as part of their Medicaid programs. Both Medicaid and CHIP are jointly funded by state and federal governments.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a doctor, particularly a specialist, who takes Medicaid. In a recent survey by the Medical Group Management Association, a trade group, 18% of 1,850 practices polled said they no longer took new Medicaid patients, while an additional 11% said they were likely to stop in response to the recession.
More children may have Medicaid cards, but "a lot of them are being turned away at the doctor's," says Edwin Suarez, a Las Vegas physical therapist whose pediatric caseload had been 70% Medicaid patients. But after state cutbacks, Mr. Suarez is having to turn away some children. "Otherwise I just can't meet my overhead," he says.
Medicaid cutbacks also affect services for privately insured kids, as children's hospitals cut staff and programs to make up the revenue shortfalls.
In Minneapolis, for instance, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota depends on Medicaid for 40% of its revenue, compared with 10% on average at most traditional hospitals. Following state budget cuts in recent years, the hospital closed an exercise-therapy program for children with chronic illnesses and school-based health programs, and is weighing other cuts.
States also are cutting other programs that affect children. Funding cuts have prompted the operator of Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., to close one of the state's two regional poison-control call centers, a majority of whose cases involve young children. Funding also has been eliminated for California's four state poison call centers.
In a recent survey by the National Association of Children's Hospitals, about 20% of the 42 hospitals responding reported they had cut or were considering reducing clinical services because of the downturn. Others say they haven't cut programs or jobs outright, but patient wait times have climbed as they have pared employees' hours and not replaced departing staff.
State cutbacks come even though Congress in February approved $87 billion in additional Medicaid funds to states as part of the economic stimulus package. Medicaid, with a total budget last year of about $330 billion, swallows about 7% of the federal budget and constitutes one of the biggest chunks of state budgets. Congress also appropriated $33 billion to expand CHIP coverage.
Cindy Mann, director of the federal Center for Medicaid and State Operations, said reduced reimbursements "are an area of concern to the extent that they are translating into reduced access to care." She added that part of the recent federal legislation provides for establishing a commission to monitor problems enrollees might have in getting care.
States say the new money isn't enough to make up for dwindling tax revenues and the growing ranks of Medicaid participants. Nevada, for instance, whose Medicaid program was already thinly funded, cut hospital reimbursements by 5% and some pediatric specialists' reimbursements by more than 40% last fall. Almost overnight, many specialists in the state closed their doors to new Medicaid patients.
Mr. Suarez, the Las Vegas physical therapist, says his Medicaid reimbursement rates were cut by a third. He still takes as new Medicaid patients children with emergencies and newborns with congenital disorders or injuries that occurred during delivery, "since these are the kids with just a small window of opportunity to get better," he says. "But I have to put older kids on a waiting list."
Ben Spitalnick, a general pediatrician in Savannah, Ga., where some 60% of the city's children are on Medicaid, says he recently had a young Medicaid patient with a broken arm but couldn't get any local orthopedic specialist to take him. Ultimately, Dr. Spitalnick had to send him to the emergency room, where the boy was referred to a specialist on call. "But that's a couple hours while a patient is in great discomfort and at a much greater cost to the system," Dr. Spitalnick says. "Who does that help?"
Some pediatric hospitals that don't rely on Medicaid are hurting, too. The board of Shriners Hospitals for Children, which provides free care, particularly in burn treatment, orthopedics and other pediatric specialties in short supply, will vote in July on whether to close six of its 22 hospitals nationwide. The hospitals operate on returns from their endowment and philanthropy, but plunging financial markets have shrunk the endowment to $5 billion from $8.3 billion just a year ago and stagnating donations haven't made up the shortfall.
One hospital in danger is the Shriners in Springfield, Mass., where doctors have treated 8-year-old Gabrielle Zeller's rheumatoid arthritis ever since her joints swelled and she began to have trouble walking as a toddler. Though the Zellers, who live in nearby Suffield, Conn., are privately insured, the pediatric rheumatologist at Shriners was the only one in practice for miles around. Without the hospital, the family will have to travel a couple of hours to Boston for care.
"But at least we have insurance," says Gabrielle's mother, Andrea. "What about all of the families that don't?"

On Tap Today: Remembering Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf died in 1976, Muddy Waters in 1983, but there are musicians still around today who played with the blues legends, who are keeping their music alive today. Musicians like Jody Williams, a guitarist who played with Wolf, and Bob Margolin, Waters' guitarist for seven years, and Grammy winner James Cotton, who played with both Wolf and Waters.
Those three musicians, as well as the Fabulous Thunderbirds and multi-instrumentalist Tinsley Ellis, come together for a special Wolf and Waters tribute show, "Blues at the Crossroads II." The show begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater.

I know that it is believed that energy is discrete, in that it travels in quanta. I was wondering if there is any evidence which either proves or disproves something similar with both time and distance?
As far as we can tell (up to energy scales we've measured so far), spacetime is a nice and smooth manifold. It might happen that the smoothness is approximate and spacetime is discrete at a much more microscopic scale, or it could turn out that spacetime is smooth all the way through. Short answer: We don't know.
About the notion of energy quantization: Energy can only be transferred in quanta, but the size of the quanta are not fixed. You can "tune" the energy of a photon by tuning it's momentum/frequency. Once you fix the momentum, then energy can be quantized only in multiples of that quantum. It's a bit like buying (say) rice... you can buy it only in packets, but you can put how much ever you want into one packet.


text: ESPAÑOL/ENGLISH Desde que se inició en 1980, Xiomara Laugart ha sido laureada en tres festivales nacionales de la canción ( Guzmán ) y tres festivales internacionales : URSS, Sochi 81, Polonia , Sopot 85 y Alemania, Dresde 86. Xiomara Laugart es fascinante para quienes la escuchan y seductora para quienes tienen la oportunidad de escucharla y verla en la escena. Ella desata su tempestad ancestral y nos hace cómplices de su canto y su carisma. Escenario scomo Bélgica, Francia, España, México, Japón, Alemania, Colombia, Holanda entre otros, han sido inundados con su voz. Su repertorio viaja del son a la guaracha, de la tonada al bolero, con exquisita selección de autores cubanos como Bola de Nieve, Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés, Alberto Tosca, Gerardo Alfonso, entre otros. Los músicos empastan su sonoridad a las potencialidades vocales e interpretativas de la artista, creando un ambiente musical novedoso y comunicativo. Este disco contiene una rigurosa selección, donde Xiomara demuestra su acertada vocación por las obras cubanas y su especial manera de darlos en la canción. Ella es única modulando espacios sonoros, única expresando emociones, única abriendo toda el alma para entregarla en armonías y ritmos. Una voz sencillamente privilegiada y un desenvolvimiento escénico pleno de sensualidad criolla y sentimiento cubano, ubican a la joven cantante entre las más connotadas de todos los tiempos, con razón el trovador cubano Pablo Milanés la considera una de las mejores voces femeninas de América Latina. Xiomara es una auténtica defensora de los géneros de la canción cubana. En conciertos, "la negra "se entrega al auditorio con su expresión jovial y espontánea, ora baila con el trompetista de su grupo, ora pide que se ilumine todo para disfrutar a todas luces del baile del público, ora hace que todos canten... ora todos quedan en silencio para escucharla cantar"Oh, melancolía "o" Se fué ". Y el silencio es violado luego con el aplauso desmedido y violento de quienes definitivamente han quedado hechizados y no pueden menos que amarla. Actualmente representa a la Reina de la Salsa, Celia Cruz, en el musical que narra su vida, en Broadway, New York. _________________________________________________________________________________ Xiomara Laugart is Cuban. This alone makes her a competitor in the music industry. She was born with a fusion of rhythms in her veins. Moreover, Xiomara Laugart is a "Guantanamera," also the name of a quintessential Cuban folk song. Guantánamo is the easternmost province in Cuba, where even the palm trees sing and dance. A Star is Born At the age of 15 she began her career. Soon thereafter, her voice was considered a true prodigy that allowed her to perform the most diverse genres. She performed several different expressions of traditional and contemporary Cuban music. During the 1980s, she entered the "Adolfo Guzmán" Contest for Cuban music where she was granted the highest award. From that day on, she became one of the most brilliant representatives of Cuban song. She received invitation after invitation to perform all over the world. She took the world by storm, taking home many international awards (1980, Sochi Russia; Sopot Festival 1985, Poland; Dresden Festival 1986, Germany, and others). Xiomara had been performing at the largest of venues in Cuba for years, performing with the biggest talents around. Yet she longed for a deeper sense of artistic expression, which she found difficult to develop in the oppresive climate in Cuba. Her dream was to go to the United States and fill the creative void in her soul with her music, the best music she could make. Success is Written in the Stars After having recorded self-titled albums in Cuba, she moved to Rome and later to New York. Soon, Xiomara was invited to be the guest singer on two jazz albums, "Deep Rumba" by Kip Hanrahan and "Latin Lullaby" by Ellipsis Art, and on Jacky Terrason's new album "What it is" released in April of 1999 by Blue Note Records. She also was featured in the first single from the recent album by Fun Loving Criminals released worldwide in 2001. Laugart's monthly showcases at New York City's famed underground Zinc Bar have been called legendary. She has flooded the stage with her power voice in the United States, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Russia, Finland, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Mexico, Colombia, and others. Obviously, we are not in presence of a common manifactured phenomenon. This singer has a peculiar mastery to reveal, not only her vocal virtues, and flexibility, but a special sound, fluently "liquid" and garrulous. Her range is such that the jazz influences seem to be a natural extension of her repertoire. She takes on each style of music and embraces it with her own stamp and authentic flare. A Light that Never Fades Xiomara is both the essence of the Cuba of old, with its rhythmic folk songs, fused with a blend of today's directness and clarity of voice, which is eventually matched with her deep laugh. It is that distinctive laugh that will soon captivate American audiences from all walks of life with her swing style in all of her Cuban splendor. Xiomara is currently a vocalist in Yerba Buena, whose first album "President Alien" was nominated for a Grammy. The songs from this first album have been used in Pepsi commericals, and in movies, such as Havana Nights. Yerba Buena is celebrating the recent release of their second album "Island Life," which is a brilliant mix of rhythms to which Xiomara adds her African and Caribbean legacy. 2005 Critics say: "Xiomara's melodious voice resounds in high register and she shows a vivid, exceptional sense of rhythm." "Xiomara's seductive style left its indelible mark on Cuba for a decade, leaving behind scores of fans in her wake.""Xiomara, "la negra" (the black girl) as this young singer is affectionately called by her legion of followers, manages to sing every style from her homeland with ease, from bolero to salsa to danzon to guaracha to funky dance tunes." "She had a unique blend of rawness, and her voice possesses a liquid quality rarely found in singers today." Read more on Last.fm.

Bad art?The way I see it, if someone says "this sucks but please concrit!", that is ABSOLUTELY OKAY and encouraged. If you take the time to finish something you thought was crap, obviously you care about it and want to know exactly how to make it better. Maybe you'll even point out your own weak spots and just don't know how to improve so you post it up and ask.
But if you think something is legitimately bad and you don't care that it's bad, I can't help but assume that you're either posting crack art (which is okay, whatever, lol) or else you're fishing for compliments and you think it's okay but in case someone else thinks differently, you want sort of an escape route. ~_~
I think lots of my art is bad, but I no longer pay enough attention to visual art which is why I no longer post it around anywhere. :P I think if more people REALLY thought their work was bad but weren't asking for crit, they just wouldn't post it.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- When Mike Heimerdinger first broke down Vince Young's game, the coach's primary concern was the quarterback's base.
Job No. 1 for the Tennessee Titans' new offensive coordinator was to help Young get his feet under him so he could play better. It's also an apt metaphor for the face of the franchise as Young searches for his balance heading into his third season.
Whether he is leading a huddle, scrambling as he searches for an open receiver, hanging out in the locker room or back in Austin having a good time with friends, Young faces questions about his maturity.
"It's everyday life," Young recently told a group of reporters. "In everyday life you learn something. You're all older than me, you all still learn something every day and get more mature. That's the same thing with me. I'm continuing to get more mature every day, going through the general process of things going on in my life and just in general."
As Young led Tennessee's offense through an organized team activity session Tuesday morning, he was upbeat, bouncy, chatty. It's how he likes to see himself: as a kidder and fun-loving guy. He often reminds people that he's goofy, and it's clear his teammates enjoy the tone he tries to set.
He won huge respect for knocking defensive tackle Randy Starks off his feet with a booming shoulder after throwing an interception in a training camp practice his rookie year. Before his second camp, he placed a letter in his teammates' lockers thanking them for their roles in his Offensive Rookie of the Year season.
But big leadership moments such as those have been accompanied by some situations in which Young hasn't necessarily reacted as the team or its followers might have liked.
As a rookie, he pouted when coach Jeff Fisher ordered the team plane to leave him behind when he was late for a team flight to Philadelphia, as if his coach had crossed him instead of the other way around. Recently, Young suggested to a veteran reporter from NFL.com that he had considered retiring after his rookie year, then worked to spin the story differently after the negative reaction.
"If everyone is looking for him to change and calm down, I don't know if that's going to happen," said Titans tight end Bo Scaife, who also played at Texas with Young and is one of his closest friends. "He understands he's a role model. He's a quarterback, and everybody is going to watch everything he does.
"So he definitely has to watch how he reacts and how he handles certain situations. But one thing about Vince is he isn't ever going to change, he's always going to be him."
To his credit, the quarterback who once told "60 Minutes" no one could tell him anything has shown two key newcomers -- Heimerdinger and Alge Crumpler, the veteran tight end brought in to serve as his safety valve -- he's plenty coachable.
Heimerdinger actually was surprised at how swiftly Young caught on to the themes of the footwork changes.
"I thought it would be kind of dramatic because you're asking a guy to change the way he's been throwing for a long time, at least with his feet," he said. "I didn't think he'd catch on as quickly. When we started doing the drills for it, there was such a big difference between Day 1 and Day 3 that I knew he was going back home, working on it and it was important to him."
His footwork wasn't the only thing he worked on. While completing course work toward his degree in Austin this spring, Young flew back to Nashville on Wednesday evenings and got a classroom session in that night before doing field work on Thursdays and Fridays.
Heimerdinger actually liked that Young was off on his own some of the time because it gave him a chance to gauge his quarterback's dedication and ability to follow through with plans.
Young showed Heimerdinger that he'd ponder things after those Wednesday evenings, because the coordinator would see improvement on Thursdays.
The quarterback also has become increasingly willing to admit his mistakes.
"When he does something wrong, he'll turn to me and say, 'I messed it up, my feet were wrong' or 'I made the wrong read' or 'That's on me,' and I don't know if he did that all the time before, I wasn't with him," said Heimerdinger, who was the Titans' coordinator from 2000 to 2004 before moving to the New York Jets and Denver Broncos.
He came back to replace his replacement, Norm Chow, who was fired after Young's apparent regression. "But that's maturity when a quarterback says, 'Hey, that's my fault, that wasn't somebody else's fault.' He's taking the hit for that, so I think we've made progress."
How will the footwork alterations change Young's game?
His accuracy should continue to improve after jumping from 51.5 to 62.3 percent from 2006 to 2007.
Now, as Heimerdinger seeks more yards after the catch, he said he can't have pass targets diving or jumping to pull the ball in.
NFL.com Video
2007 Highlight: Vince Young pass deep left to Roydell Williams for a 41-yard touchdown.
Just as importantly, the alterations should help set up Young to run more effectively when he decides the options produced by routes on a play don't warrant a throw.
Even in OTA practices in which it's hard to simulate a pass rush, Fisher has seen Young step up into the pocket rather than hanging back, as had become his habit.
"We do have team-oriented drills and the pocket does collapse, and what Vince is doing much more now is moving up in the pocket," Fisher said. "He's stepping up in the pocket with his eyes downfield and picking up receivers rather than keeping his depth in the pocket and scrambling with depth. He'll be able to make more plays not only as a passer but also as a runner as he moves forward."
With Young struggling and dealing with a quad injury for a share of the 2007 season, he threw only nine touchdown passes against 17 interceptions. Those numbers looked especially bad when compared to someone like Cleveland's Derek Anderson (29 TDs, 19 picks).
But it was Young's Titans, not Anderson's Browns, who seized the AFC's final playoff berth.
Feet now squarely beneath him, Young is expecting a third season with better numbers, another playoff appearance and quieter critics.

This section is intended to serve as a guide for faculty and departments in their efforts to develop courses for the Liberal Studies curriculum.
It is necessary for this program to meet the goals of the university and to provide a comprehensive curriculum that will provide all IUP students the opportunity to meet the Expected Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes. This is the objective of the Liberal Studies program as a whole, but not the responsibility of individual courses. No one course or program is expected to meet all of the Student Learning Outcomes.
When developing curriculum proposals, individual faculty members and departments should review the Expected Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes and define them as appropriate to their courses and departmental goals. Specific terms included in the outcomes should be defined as appropriate to the course content or disciplinary area. This is particularly important in cases where multiple sections of a course are offered and being taught by different faculty members. These instructors will need to agree on how these student learning outcomes are defined within their courses.
Proposals will need to include a justification for the exclusion of an Expected Undergraduate Student Learning Outcome (in whole or in part) that has been designated as "required" in a particular course or curricular category.

With your other more mature women titles.
Once you get past what seems like an endless (and annoying) introduction of flashy advertisements for Websites and 900 numbers, you get to four so-so scenes of middle-aged women having real sex with real men. The sets, acting and forced plots are so awkward that it distracts from any authentic onscreen sparks. Additionally, safe sex is important and can be done tastefully, but is it necessary to advertise it with colored condoms? So not sexy.

No Way In: U.S. Immigration Policy Leaves Few Legal Options for Mexican Workers
Current immigration policies are completely out of sync with the U.S. economy's demand for workers who fill less-skilled jobs, especially in the case of Mexican workers. While U.S. immigration policies present a wide array of avenues for immigrants to enter the United States, very few of these avenues are tailored to workers in less-skilled occupations. It should come as no surprise, then, that immigrants come to or remain in the United States without proper documentation in response to the strong economic demand for less-skilled labor.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A jury has found a man guilty of first-degree murder and child abuse for the death of a 3-year-old girl.
Jurors on Wednesday recommended life in prison without parole for 26-year-old Freddy Mendez.
Testimony revealed that the victim, Alexis Hawkins, was beaten, kicked and thrown to the ground. Alexis died Oct. 30, 2011.
The girl's mother, Victoria Phanhtharath, entered a guilty plea in March to enabling child abuse. She was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
The Oklahoman reports a doctor who treated Alexis testified that her body was covered in bruises.

Bob Aronson
Speaking this morning from the company will be Jim Scarborough, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Hall, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Ed Record, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Before they begin I would like to point out that any reference to earnings per share during this morning's call will be a reference to diluted earnings per share. I would also like to point out that our comments this morning do contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our expectations regarding future events and operating performance and often contain words such as believe, expect, may, will, should, could, anticipate, plan or similar words. Our forward-looking statements include comments regarding the number of new stores that we plan to open in the 2008 fiscal year as well as comments regarding our sales, gross margin, SG&A expenses, and earnings outlooks for the third and fourth quarters of the 2008 fiscal year and full 2008 fiscal year. Our forward-looking statements also include comments regarding the number of Este Lauder and Clinique counters that we expect to open during the last half of the year. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited those described in our most recent annual report on Form 10K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other factors that may periodically be described in other company filings with the SEC.
With that said I would like to turn the call over to Jim.
James R. Scarborough
We appreciate you joining us this morning for our second quarter conference call. I'll start off today's call by spending a few minutes providing you with a high level overview of our Q2 results. Then Andy will follow me with a review of our operational highlights for the quarter. Once Andy is finished with his remarks, Ed will discuss our second quarter financial results with you in greater detail and he'll also cover our Q3, Q4 and full-year sales and earnings outlooks. Then after Ed has concluded we'll open it up for questions.
Although general economic conditions remained challenging during the second quarter, we were nonetheless pleased to see some relative strengthening in our business versus our first quarter trends. Based on our first quarter comp store sales decline of 5.4% we had projected comp store sales declines for the second quarter of between 3% and 5%.
However, as a result of our having positive comp store sales results in May and June our overall comps for Q2 were down only 1.4%. And while we've never been known to give ourselves pats on the back for negative comp store sales, given the current mentality of the consumer we were nevertheless pleased to have exceeded our sales forecast for the quarter. We believe that the drivers for our better-than-expected sales results for the second quarter were relatively favorable weather conditions throughout the period, successful sales events for Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Memorial Day and the beneficial impact from the tax rebate checks.
So with our sales coming in above the high end of our guidance range and due to our inventory and expense levels being tightly managed throughout the quarter, we were able to flow incremental dollars to the bottom line and we produced EPS that exceeded the high end of our guidance range and beat last year's EPS results by $0.02 per share. As a result of our prudent inventory management practices, we ended the quarter very clean with our retail inventories down 8.9% versus last year on a comp store basis. Overall our inventories totaled $349.6 million this year versus $344.9 million last year reflective of the fact that we had 51 more stores in operation at the end of this year's second quarter.
In addition to improving our EPS during the quarter we're also pleased with the progress that was made during the quarter on a number of our key strategic and operating initiatives which Andy will discuss in great detail with you shortly.
Although we experienced some relative strengthening of our business during the second quarter, as we look ahead we still believe that the macroeconomic environment will continue to be difficult during the last half of this year. Accordingly, we are forecasting that our comp store sales will be down between 1% and 3% during the final two quarters of the year and we have planned our inventory and expense levels accordingly.
Just before I turn the call over to Andy, I want to wrap up and leave you with the following thoughts by saying that despite today's challenging national economic environment, all of us here at Stage Stores remain intensely committed to growing and investing in our business. We are blessed with a solid balance sheet, strong cash flows, and ample liquidity which gives us the financial flexibility to move forward with our strategic growth plans. We believe that our focus and our investment in continuing to grow our store base and our geographic presence even during these current economic times position us to prosper especially once our economy starts to improve.

There are no great American highways anymore. No Route 66. Interstate 40 isn't the busiest or longest, but its connection to the old Route 66 gives it the closest thing to iconic highway status in this country.
It's also the road Felix Curry used to travel from Flowery Branch, Ga., to see his eldest son, C.J., play football at Oklahoma State University.
He'll get even more use out of it now.
Curry was officially hired last week as the defensive coordinator at Northside. Fort Smith Public Schools' athletics director Jim Rowland hired Mike Falleur, also a former coach in Georgia, as head coach in January. When Curry heard Falleur might have an opening at his new job, he made a call.
"I was talking to a mutual friend about how tough it was Friday nights leaving from Atlanta and going to Stillwater," Curry said. "I told my wife, I said, 'I remember seeing Fort Smith on our way to Stillwater.' So I called Mike."
No more red-eye flights out of Atlanta or non-stop overnight drives. Now a simple zip over to Tulsa and just a piece beyond and Curry can watch C.J. — and now middle son, Darius — pad up for the Cowboys.
There is more, too. Justin is a soon-to-be junior who's drawing the same kind of interest, or if not more, than his two older brothers. Four-star recruit C.J. and three-star Darius played everywhere in high school, Felix Curry said. Quarterback, cornerback, safety, running back, wide receiver, it didn't matter. Justin, though, he's a running back through and through.
He's 5-foot-11 and plays at about 195 pounds. Type his name into your favorite Internet search engine and the first results are his highlight-reel runs from the past season. Coaches from Penn State, Oregon and Tennessee have already peeked in for a look. A constant desire to be allowed around – and live up to – his older brothers and their friends has been his driving force.
"We'd be the ones in the neighborhood with no grass in the yard because 20 kids every Saturday were playing sandlot in our back yard," Felix Curry said. "My wife and I would be sitting there drinking coffee, because they'd be up early in the morning like it's a real game day and (Justin) will be out there getting beat up and he'll come inside crying. We'd tell him you're too young to play with those guys.' But he'd always go back out."
Justin Curry should fit right into the changes Falleur will incorporate offensively.
The hurry-up offense is out the door, he said. Many of the plays will stay, but in a much slower pace. And with more running.
"We're not going to change the way they throw the football. They've done a great job with the passing game. What we are going to do is slow down the tempo. And we're going to run the football. And that was before Justin came," Falleur said.
Wide receivers coach and head track coach Billy Joe Releford will retire at the end of the year. That opened the spot for Felix Curry to come aboard the staff. Richard Bracken will take over the receivers and Ryan Solley will concentrate on the defensive line to incorporate the new changes.
Felix Curry has been in coaching since 1994. He's spent most of his life in the southeastern part of the United States and coached at various high schools in Georgia, most recently in Flowery Branch. He will also take over as head track coach after football next year.
Curry hasn't been in Fort Smith a week yet – he brought Justin with him to help with the adjustment to next school year – and they both already see the bounding potential in turning around Northside football. It took all of one day for Justin to notice.
"The eagerness for these kids to want to do good. They want to please you. They want to work hard," Falleur said. "(Justin after his first day at Northside) said 'these boys like working out.'"
For the Curry family, it may all be working out.

Can anyone explain where the Eclipse GWT plugin defines it's entry points?
In an attempt to get my old GWT project working again with GWT 2.0, I created a default GWT 2.0 project in Eclipse and was able to run it successfully. It's the one that asks for a name and calls the 'greet' servlet on the server, which responds etc... so far so good.
I then ported all the classes from my older maven GWT project over to this new GWT project in the hopes of getting the RPC calls to work. It had many dependencies, so I also copied over the maven pom.xml, commented out all of the gwt related plugins in the pom, and managed to get the Eclipse M2Eclipse maven pluging to recognize the pom and adopt all of the maven dependencies. All of the issues in Eclipse are now resolved and it looks good to go.
However, when I click on the GWT compile icon for the project, it pops up a "GWT Compile" dialog now asking me to "Add an entry point module". There are no entry points listed to choose from in this dialog. This is frustrating because I kept the exact same GWTApp.gwt.xml and moved my code into the previously-working auto-generated GWTApp.java class.
I can't imagine why the Eclipse plugin doesn't look in the GWTApp.gwt.xml file to figure out what the entry points are.
Can anyone explain how these entry points are defined or suggest why the project stopped working?
