Hi Hector,
We just installed the WPP plugin, but the widget shows no data, yet after almost 24 hours, and we've had traffic on the site that should register. The instructions on the plug-in page says,
"There are a number of reasons that might explain why you are seeing this message: ... your current theme does not have the wp_header() tag in its <head> section, required by my plugin to keep track of what your visitors are viewing on your site; no one has seen your posts/pages since WordPress Popular Posts activation, you should give it some time. ..."
First, I'm assuming the mention of
wp_header() is a typo, because on another forum page you stated,
"Your current theme does not have the wp_head() tag (or it's not properly placed), necessary to update WordPress Popular Posts' cache table"
So I checked, and we do have the appropriate wp_head() tag in the TwentyTen header.php file. I'm using a child theme with no header.php replacement template, so it's using the default header.php.
Is this a case of "you should give it some time"? How long is an appropriate time for this to work? It might be nice to give users an idea of what could be expected to make things work.

Read an Excerpt
When Avenues Collide
The Ambassadors for the Arts Luncheon, held annually in the legendary Conrad Suite of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, had officially begun.
Madison Hamilton rose from her place at the exclusive Michelangelo table and quickly scanned the room. She peered over the ornate floral arrangements that towered like skyscrapers. She glanced past the young violinist playing Bach beside the podium. She even pushed up on her tiptoes to get a clear picture of the L-shaped bar in the far left corner. The latter action made her thirst for a glass of cold champagne, but she immediately decided against it, not wanting to shift her thoughts from the problem at hand.
And it was a big problem.
Her sisters, Park and Lexington, were missing. Or, more specifically, they hadn't yet returned from their impromptu trip to the restroom a half hour ago. How long could it possibly take to reapply lip gloss and blush?
Madison was fuming. She had made it very clear to Park and Lex that there was a schedule to keep. The paparazzi were prancing around the hotel freely, and today's event was surely one of the most important of their lives. In a few short minutes, she, Park, and Lex would be called up to the front of the room by the mayor of New York City to receive their newest honor. The Hamilton triplets were being appointed ambassadors for the arts by the Royal Crown Society of the Americas. Composed of eminent artists, composers, actors, and philanthropists, the society rarely admitted new members; membership was a distinction reserved for only a select handful of people of "superior qualifications." As ambassadors, Madison, Park, and Lex would be sitting on a committee that had its hands in everything from museum acquisitions to the construction of art-deco hotels and the restoration of historical sites. They would have the chance to arrange exhibitions, support rising artists, and be among the first to view exceptional works of art.
The very idea of standing before a Renoir or Picasso made Madison's heart race. She had a passion for art history and the great master painters. In fact, she had spent many an hour fantasizing about one day being granted a seat at the society's roundtable. To her, there was no greater honor. She belonged there, in the midst of highbrow discussions of Caravaggio and Degas, Titian and Monet. Park and Lex weren't as psyched to be joining the society, but Madison wasn't about to let their lack of interest ruin the most exciting moment of her life.
And it wasn't just their induction into the society that had Madison jittery. It was the fact that she and her sisters would also be unveiling the newest painting by famed artist Tallula Kayson before a very eager crowd. Tallula was the artist of the moment, a genius who had already drawn comparisons to many of the modern masters; barely out of high school, she had rocketed to stardom nearly two years ago because of her jarring talent and signature style. Tallula Kayson's paintings weren't just an amalgam of color and delicate brushstrokes; they were mysterious, awe-inspiring creations that seduced the senses. Madison had been dying to meet her ever since two of Tallula's paintings sold for several million dollars. Tallula was brilliant and beautiful and worldly, and Madison wanted to gain her friendship.
But how was she going to accomplish that when her nerves were so on edge?
She stared to her left and saw Mayor Kevin Mayer schmoozing with a young waitress while guzzling from a champagne flute. The mayor was tall and handsome in his Ralph Lauren Black Label suit, but if the rumors were true, he liked women and booze a little too much. On the flip side, he had done an adequate job in public office, supporting many of the city's forgotten neighborhoods and doing away with all those silly parking restrictions on Fifth Avenue. Thanks to him, a girl could now hop out of her limo and run into Saks for a full ten minutes while her driver waited outside. Just off to Mayor Mayer's right was the Kahlo table; Madison spotted her best friend, Coco McKaid, staring aimlessly into space—a clear sign that Coco had guzzled her stolen martini too quickly. All the other tables were buzzing as waiters served cocktails and watercress salads. The majority of the guests were quite old: legendary socialites and philanthropists, a few well-known producers. It was a smattering of beyond-Botox wrinkles and shiny canes. Madison recognized a handful of her classmates from St. Cecilia's Prep, but there was still no sign of Park or Lex.
"Madison, dear, are you all right?"
The voice startled her. Madison glanced over at the older woman sitting at the Michelangelo table and sighed inwardly.
Poppy van Lulu was a character in every sense of the word. She was well into her sixties but looked at least ten years younger, courtesy of an excellent plastic surgeon and weekly visits to the Spa at Mandarin Oriental. Her red hair was cut in a blunt bob. Her oval face was caked with makeup. Her waiflike body was wrapped in a too-tight beige dress that made her look like a matchstick.
But it wasn't Poppy's eccentric appearance that instantly annoyed Madison. It was, rather, Poppy's penchant for otherworldly drama.
A well-known psychic to the stars, Poppy had a colorful reputation that stretched from New York to Hong Kong. She had given readings to just about every celebrity on the planet. She even appeared regularly in tabloid magazines, where she dished astrological advice and divined Hollywood's scandalous future. Having married into the powerful and socially elite van Lulu family at twenty-five, Poppy was now one of the wealthiest divorcées in the world—and one of the most theatrical. She couldn't appear in public without prophesying an actor's secret infidelity or a rock star's imminent journey into rehab.
It irked Madison. She'd met Poppy on several occasions but had always kept a cool distance from the woman. Didn't everyone know that infidelity and rehab were staples of the Hollywood life? There was nothing supernatural about foreseeing the inevitable. It was true that Poppy had accurately predicted the winners of American Idol and America's Next Top Model every season, but that didn't exactly make her a shaman. Madison didn't believe in psychic phenomena and had little patience for Poppy's behavior.

Say "YES" to War on Iraq by Dan Savage Oct. 2002

"The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."

SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- Kim Min-woo, an infielder for the Nexen Heroes in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), on Tuesday received a three-month ban from the sport, after being charged last weekend with driving under the influence of alcohol with a suspended license, the league office said.
The KBO said Kim will be prohibited from engaging in all baseball-related activities, including team practices, official or unofficial games, and the playoffs. Kim will also be required to spend 240 community service hours in youth baseball-related activities.
Kim, 34, was charged with the DUI on Sunday after he hit a parked taxi in front of a Seoul hotel. Police said his blood alcohol content level was more than 0.1 percent, well over the legal limit of 0.05 percent, but added Kim's license had already been revoked a year ago under an earlier DUI charge.
Police said they also charged him with leaving the scene of the accident.
On Sunday, the Heroes suspended Kim for 30 games and fined him 10 million won (US$8,810).
The Heroes were tied in first place with the Samsung Lions, the two-time defending champions, at 32-18-1 before Tuesday night's game. The Heroes, which joined the KBO in 2008, have never made the playoffs.
As a backup infielder, Kim, in his ninth KBO season, was batting .292 in 33 games.

EARNING IT; A Broken Pact and a $97 Million Payday
By JIM ROBBINS
Published: April 19, 1998
COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont.— IN 1985, the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company wrung a 15 percent pay cut from employees in return for an apparent will-o'-the-wisp: a share of profits from an aluminum refinery that was a perennial money loser.
Brack W. Duker, the corporate executive who had just bought the refinery from the Atlantic Richfield Company for a symbolic $1, held out a firm promise, many workers recall. If the aluminum market ever recovered, Mr. Duker assured them as he lobbied for the plan, ''a dollar in your pocket is a dollar in mine.''
In the end, the workers reluctantly accepted the offer. And the price of aluminum did in fact recover -- far beyond anyone's expectations. Starting in 1986, Columbia Falls Aluminum became a money-making machine.
But over the next five years, rather than splitting the take, Mr. Duker and his minority partner, Jerome Broussard, funneled much of the money into offshore bank accounts. Before they cut off their union and salaried employees altogether, the two men had awarded $84 million to them and $231 million to themselves. As it turned out, a dollar in the pockets of workers would be nearly $3 in those of the owners.
In 1989, Mr. Duker and Mr. Broussard dismissed their chief financial officer after he raised concerns about their financial practices. With him gone, and with the plant's work force more concerned about job security than profit-sharing checks, there seemed to be no end to the gravy train.
But there was something ahead on the tracks that would derail it -- a 39-year-old accountant at the plant named Roberta Gilmore, who challenged the company's bookkeeping practices and was promptly told, she says, to keep her mouth shut.
Instead, after fuming for a couple of years, she filed a lawsuit. What ensued was a classic David-versus-Goliath business tale, a battle that from the beginning seemed almost hopeless for Ms. Gilmore and the workers. At one point, the two small-town lawyers she hired showed up in Federal Court in Missoula, Mont., wearing polar fleece jackets and Sorel boots. They were greeted by Mr. Duker -- flanked by three bodyguards and 13 lawyers in finely tailored suits.
Clearly, Mr. Duker had the upper hand in any war of attrition. And yet, five years and 10 months after the suit was filed, he threw in the towel. Just two weeks before Ms. Gilmore's lawsuit was scheduled for trial, he agreed to pay the workers $97 million -- nearly double his previous offer and eight times the initial proposal he made in 1995. When she heard the news, Ms. Gilmore broke into sobs.
Her unlikely victory has a special resonance in an era when everything seems stacked against blue-collar workers. Union membership is continuing a long decline; inflation-adjusted wages are stagnant, and millions of low-paid Americans struggle without health insurance. And all the while, the rich get richer: Executives at big corporations receive stratospheric compensation packages, and shareholders reap huge windfalls just by sitting back and watching the Dow industrials defy the law of gravity.
This time, though, romance wins and the workers are cashing in. More than 1,000 current and former employees at the refinery here will be getting checks this month, ranging from a few thousand dollars to more than $300,000, depending on their length of service. But no one is celebrating it as an unambiguous victory. For even though the workers received far more than they ever thought they would, they also believe that Mr. Duker and Mr. Broussard are walking away with $57 million that is rightfully theirs, too.
''There's not a feeling anybody won,'' said Terry Smith, president of the Aluminum Workers' Trade Council, the hourly workers' union. ''There's a feeling of relief.''
This account is based mainly on court documents and interviews with workers and their lawyers. Both Mr. Duker and Mr. Broussard declined to be interviewed. But the thrust of their position -- as articulated in court records, a company response to written questions and telephone interviews with one of their lawyers -- is that there was no binding profit-sharing agreement. Furthermore, they contend that the complexities of the corporate-tax system accounted for much of the gap between what they paid workers and what they paid themselves.
While declining to go into specifics, the lawyer, Mark Shipow of Los Angeles, disputed the plaintiffs' calculation of the size of that disparity. ''The numbers are wrong and their figuring is wrong,'' he said last week.
A Refinery for $1
The 40-acre aluminum refinery here, built in the 1950's to take advantage of cheap hydroelectric power, looks as if it had been airlifted from the Rust Belt and dropped into one of the most breath-stealing stretches of wilderness in America. Grizzly bears, wolves and moose roam the forests just north of this town of 3,000 people, just a few miles south of the jagged blue mountains of Glacier National Park.
In 1985, ARCO was selling its metal division and wanted to get rid of the Columbia Falls plant, which was losing money. So the oil company devised a plan to sell it for $1 (plus $3 million for the inventory) to Mr. Duker, an ARCO executive in charge of divesting unwanted properties.

ACCORDING to the latest estimate of the American Cancer Society, new cases of cancer of the colon and rectum will be found in 99,000 Americans during this coming year.1 In the same year, 48,000 Americans will die of that disease. The situation need not continue to be this grim, since cancer of the colon is highly curable if it is treated early. Selected studies report a 71% five-year survival rate after surgery of localized disease.2
The barium enema is the principal method for detecting colon cancer other than by direct observation with the sigmoidoscope and colonoscope. The recent introduction of fiber colonoscopy (examination of the entire colon by fiber optics) is a helpful diagnostic addition in detection of cancer of the colon. However, the expense of this examination is far greater than that of a barium enema, and the number of instruments available, as well as of skilled

Fully agree with previous commenter about the ending.
Took a bit long to get there, I felt; the animation was slower than it needed to be at times. Otherwise, however, I'd say you were dead on. Righteous.
Wow you really know how to put a message across.
Absolutely loved the ending, thought it was very appropriate especially with the puppet's controlling sticks broken off and the change of a monochrome world into a stunning coloured animation.
Very nice work.
nice work
truely depicts the workplace shit there...we r forced to do things we would normally not....the climax is a bit too much but i like how he breaks free (puppet stick breaks) n becomes a real person...he could have quit that job aswell...but anyways

Even though the animation isn't my style and is slightly childish the messege is clear, in the coporate industry you are kissing the ass of the person in charge and in the end some people cant take it. Great animation :)
its all true

I checked something out on github, can I commit that entire folder to bitbucket and be able to pull and push from both github and bitbucket? as well as have multiple and different branches between repositories?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Create the target repo on bitbucket and then:
Note that 'bitbucket' above is just an arbitrary name - use 'bb' or foo' if you like.
If you plan on working with both repos, I would also rename your 'origin' to something to remind you of true origin (e.g. 'github'):
Check everything with:
Read the man pages to see the longer form of git push (along with the other commands like fetch, pull, etc.) to see how to push specific branches to specific repos, e.g.
I would also read up on the
Working with multiple repos is kind of "advanced" git - especially if you want to have distinct branches on each. It would be very easy to accidentally push a branch (or a set of changes you intended to keep private) to the wrong repo, especially if you are new to git. I don't know how negative the ramifications are of doing that would be for your situation.
Note that BertF's answer creates several branches for separate remote repositories in the same local repository. What you probably need is separate repositories, one for each remote. Mixing up separate lines of development isn't a good idea, and as git is very lightweigt, having separate repositories (perhaps in a directory to keep them nearby) is easier to handle, and doesn't use much more resources.

Iconic architecture, impeccable cultural connections and an air of faded elegance combine to make Venice one of the most romantic cities in the world. If you're looking for the ultimate romantic destination then this is the perfect choice. Venice is undoubtedly a victim of its own popularity, with its famed gondolas and square-side cafés in danger of becoming a romantic cliché. The good news? There are still plenty of secluded streets, candlelit trattorias and secret viewpoints where you can enjoy the classic Venetian atmosphere without sharing the experience with other tourists.

I need to validate the contents of an uploaded XML file in my Form clean method, but I'm unable to open the file for validation. It seams, in the clean method, the file hasn't yet been moved from memory (or the temporary directory) to the destination directory.
For example the following code doesn't work because the file hasn't been moved to that destination yet. It's still in memory (or the temporary directory):
xml_file = cleaned_data.get('xml_file')
xml_file_absolute = '%(1)s%(2)s' % {'1': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, '2': xml_file}
xml_size = str(os.path.getsize(xml_file_absolute))
When I look at the "cleaned_data" variable it shows this:
{'xml_file': <InMemoryUploadedFile: texting.nzb (application/octet-stream)>}
cleaned_data.get('xml_file') only returns "texting.nzb" as a string.
Is there another way to access the the file in memory (or the temporary directory)?
Again, this is in my Form's
clean method that's tied into the default administration view. I've been told time and time again that all validation should be handled in a Form, not the view. Correct?

The strategies of participants in housing production, in developing countries, are diverse and not fully understood. Governments in most developing countries have not been able to, sufficiently, explore how the production factors: land, labour and capital, impact on housing production. As a result, many policies formulated by governments aimed at stimulating housing production are found to result in unintended outcomes: they do not always align with the way housing is actually created. This study uses the production factors to assess how motivations are shaped and different modes of housing production result. The aim is to gain an improved understanding of how housing developers, builders and government, impact modes of production. The method includes synthesis of past studies on factors of housing production in Lagos. In parallel, it also involves visits and interviews with some selected developers and agencies to allow a deeper engagement with their activities. This is in addition to direct observation and interviews undertaken through purposeful selection of some autonomous (on-site) builders. As an exploratory study, it observes that a better approach to land supply is significantly beneficial in shaping the modes and capacity of housing. The study helps understand the strategies of participants in housing production in developing countries, especially in Lagos. It recommends that efficient land supply to the autonomous on-site builders should be a focus for policy makers. This will contribute to the production of more housing thereby facilitating an improved production of present and future housing needs of the population.

Customs: possible traffic delays at Quebec border
ST. ALBANS U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say there could be traffic delays at the Vermont-Canadian border during Quebecs two-week Construction Holiday.
The annual holiday from July 20 through Aug. 2 could cause increased traffic since many residents from Quebec, including those not in the construction industry, go on vacation during this time.
Officials are reminding people seeking to cross to border to make sure they have an approved travel document such as a passport or enhanced drivers license.
Travelers are encouraged to plan their trips during lighter traffic periods or to use less heavily traveled ports of entry.

E-Commerce Report
Internet Merchants Fight Fraud
By BOB TEDESCHI
Published: October 21, 2002
INTERNET merchants, weary of a near constant barrage of credit card fraud that costs them more than $1 billion each year, are joining forces in hopes of helping one another identify users of stolen credit cards, catch criminals and perhaps soothe the fears of millions of potential online shoppers.
A group of the Web's biggest e-commerce companies, tentatively called the Internet Merchant Fraud Roundtable, has formed over the last year, with the goal of creating a database that merchants could use to block potentially fraudulent transactions and help snare people who commit credit card fraud. The group hopes to have the database set up by the first half of next year.
"We're trying to construct a neighborhood watch," said George Redenbaugh, the manager of risk management and customer privacy at Hewlett-Packard , and one of the organizers of the round table. "It may turn out to be something we can't pull off, to be quite candid with you, but we're trying to work this out."
While many consumers are still wary about providing their credit card numbers to make purchases online, it is merchants who typically bear far more of the financial risk. A cardholder's liability is usually limited to $50 or less if someone else uses the account fraudulently. But merchants are usually obliged to reimburse credit card issuers for the actual cost of the goods sold.
One of the core challenges for the group, which Mr. Redenbaugh says includes representatives from about 65 companies, is how to share information about potential or probable credit card thieves without violating the privacy of legitimate users.
Mr. Redenbaugh and another key organizer of the round table, Tom Sullivan, the director of e-commerce fraud protection at the online travel company Expedia, said the group envisions creating a database of information on credit cards that have been stolen, and perhaps other information that could tip off other merchants to a possibly fraudulent transaction. Round-table participants would capture limited amounts of data about suspected frauds — data that would not include names, addresses or other personally identifiable information.
"We'd never attempt to do this if we didn't have the blessing of independent privacy authorities," said Mr. Sullivan of Expedia. "We've had early discussions with some, and haven't been discouraged by what we've heard. As this program develops, we'll continue to work with those experts and if we can't meet their requirements, we simply won't continue on."
One privacy expert who was briefed on the effort is Larry Ponemon, the chairman of the Ponemon Institute, an information-management research and consulting firm.
"The verdict is still out," Mr. Ponemon said. "But what I like about this group is that they really care about privacy, and they're building it in at the right place — the beginning of the process — even if it could be limiting to them."
While no e-commerce merchant group has tried to address credit card fraud on such a big scale, there is precedent for a similar type of information gathering. CardCops, a credit card fraud watchdog company, has created a database of what it believes are stolen credit cards, and offers that database on CardCops .com free to users who can check to see if their numbers have been stolen.
According to Dan Clements, CardCops's chief executive, the database, which typically contains about 100,000 card numbers at a given time, is compiled from Web sites he said were frequented by card thieves. Mr. Clements said that to avoid violating the privacy of a credit card holder, only the 16-digit account numbers are carried in the database. He said it was nearly impossible to trace the number to a person's name without other information and that he cleared his methods with Visa before moving forward with his service.
In the near future, Mr. Clements said, his company would start offering that database for a fee to merchants, who would be able to sift through it, checking for possibly stolen cards while they process transactions on their sites. As such, Mr. Clements said, his service provides a glimpse into how the Internet Merchant Fraud Roundtable database could work.
"It's a really needed thing for merchants," Mr. Clements said of the round table, "because the banks aren't reacting quickly enough to fraud." There's a lag, sometimes as much as 120 days, from when a fraudulent card is reported to when the issuing bank cuts it off, he said.
"In theory," he added, "merchants could put that information into a database so the others don't get hit in two hours."
Mr. Clements said he did not feel a competitive threat from the round table. "We all want the same thing — a safer online shopping experience," he said. "We welcome their effort."
Notably, when merchants sell goods to people who hold stolen credit cards, they are typically liable for the fraudulent charges — not the credit card issuer, and not the consumer. Mr. Redenbaugh is among those who say credit-card issuers are not working quickly enough to cut off stolen cards — a charge that issuers dispute — and he offered an example of how that hurts merchants. A pornography site based in Gibraltar was hacked, he said, and a large portion of credit cards were stolen from the site's files.

I just installed this plug-in and it worked great. One of the challenging things for a newbie with StudioPress is getting the proper widgets together just so that it looks like the demo. Without the widgets installed - the templates look nothing like the demo. So the problem I had was to get a simple slideshow widget "Slideshow Gallery" and a the "Genesis Featured Posts" widget to work together. Unfortunately - one is a widget and one is shortcode driven which works well if the shortcode goes into a specific post or page. Or, you can be well versed in the Genesis framework and hard code the PHP script into the exact place to execute it (if you know where that is ...)
Luckily there is this plugin! No need to find the right file and hard code anymore. However to make it easy for users to add code necessary to make a widget work, I would suggest users go find the "Genesis Visual Hook Guide" plugin (on wordpress.org) to figure out where to insert the PHP code. Simple hooks will exactly mirror the names of the various hooks displayed on the page with the Visual Hook Guide and from there its easy to add the script to the right section of code.

2010: Month-by-month review, Part II
The end of the year means year-end lists: best this, greatest that, the signature people and happenings of the past 12 months.
But what about the other stuff?
Oddities. Dubious achievements. World Cup-pickin' octopi. The events that made us laugh, raise an eyebrow, shake our spinning heads at the utter absurdity of our world.
In other words, the fun stuff.
On Thursday, we covered the first six months.
Now, As 2010 draws to a close, Page 2 looks back at a few of our favorite things from the second half of the year that was:
Comic Sans font: Not just for elementary school PTA newsletters! LeBron James decided to join the Miami Heat, sparking owner Dan Gilbert's angry response in a decidedly informal typeface.
Of course, 27.2 gallons were actually salty tears: In Cleveland, where fans had been party to LeBron's Nike "Witness" campaign, a local brewery sold 30 gallons of a beer dubbed "Quitness" in three hours.
"I feel a great disturbance in Miami, as if millions of Dolphins fans suddenly laughed out loud and then were silenced because their heads exploded." Alabama football coach Nick Saban said that the way James left Cleveland did not show "the kind of trust and respect you'd like to have in a team organization."
Pot. Kettle. Black. Discuss: Saban also called sports agents who contact college athletes "pimps."
Bored, broke and bruised is no way to go through life: Prior to a minor league baseball game, Jose Canseco lost a boxing match against the 60-year-old athletic director of the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.
1. There is a Major League Eating; 2. Competitors can afford contract disputes; 3. Thousands of unemployed college graduates picked the wrong line of work: Due to a reported contract dispute with Major League Eating, Japanese competitive eater Takeru Kobayashi was barred from participating in the Nathan's Fourth of July hot dog scarfing contest.
In his defense, that's pretty expensive for a man purse: Former Seton Hall basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez was arrested for allegedly shoplifting a $1,395 men's satchel.
"Also, do you want to think about your parents doing it? Just gettin' it on? 'Cause I sure don't." Asked by HBO's Andrea Kramer about former USC player Reggie Bush's parents allegedly receiving improper benefits in the form of a new home, former Trojans coach Pete Carroll said, "When you were growing up, Andrea, did you have any idea of your parents' mortgage situation? Think about it. None of us do. I couldn't tell you how much my mom and dad paid for our house."
When future Chinese historians explain the decline and fall of America, this will rank with imperial overreach and six seasons of "Arli$$": Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant's refusal to carry a teammate's shoulder pads following practice became a major national story.
Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and the 2010 Cincinnati Bengals were not included in the study: Researchers in the Netherlands found that soccer teams with the most enthusiastic goal celebrations were more likely to win matches.
Brett Favre sent an electronic message that was short and disappointing? Two weeks before he returned to the Minnesota Vikings, Favre hinted at retirement by reportedly sending teammates a text message reading "this is it."
Day 1, free weights; Day 2, endurance run; Day 3, manure shoveling: Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing claimed a positive performance-enhancing-drug test result was the result of "overtrained athlete syndrome."
New and improved, chastened and humbled, blah blah blah: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger changed the name of his hometown in the team media guide from Findlay, Ohio to Cory-Rawson, Ohio because he didn't like what people in Findlay said about him following sexual assault allegations.
Fourth grade? Given the maturity level, we were guessing kindergarten: Cory-Rawson isn't an actual town, but rather the name of a school Roethlisberger attended through the fourth grade.
"Damn the torpedoes, America needs to see MRIs of my buttocks abscess!" CUE "BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC." END SCENE: Former Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia said that former major league pitcher Roger Clemens was given a choice to not testify before Congress about his alleged performance-enhancing drug use, but insisted upon telling his story to the public.
Coach of the Year: University of Central Florida football coach George O'Leary said he gave permission for Axis magazine to hold a photo shoot in the team's locker room featuring UCF alum and Playboy model Shanna Marie McLaughlin wearing a shirt and underwear featuring the school's logos.
In related news, the National Re-Gifting Association announced a major uptick in its Q1 2011 projections: Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom announced that he and wife Khloe Kardashian will release a unisex fragrance in time for next Valentine's Day.
On the plus side, the fire managed to dry the seats! After leaving his Porsche convertible out in the rain, Canadian figure skater Kurt Browning attempted to dry the interior with a leaf blower; he then placed the still-hot leaf blower in his garage, starting a fire that burned most of his house down.
Happily ever after, or something: Pro football wide receiver Chris Chambers married the same woman he filed 11 separate stalking and/or harassment complaints against in 2009.
Even Greg Oden was impressed: The New York Yankees unveiled a monument to former owner George Steinbrenner that measures 7 feet wide, 5 feet high and weighs 1,500 pounds.
Total number of people inspired by Sammy Sosa's congressional testimony:
0 1: During his introductory press conference with the Chicago White Sox, baseball slugger Manny Ramirez mostly pretended to not speak English.
Favorite ice cream: vanilla. Favorite Kardashian: Kim. Favorite MLS team: What's MLS? Asked to list his favorite teams, Washington Nationals draft pick Bryce Harper selected the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Lakers and Duke basketball.
"Your honor, citing the precedent of Vader v. Skywalker, I ask that DNA evidence be dismissed." Despite a reported 2007 DNA test showing "0 percent probability of paternity," a Washington, D.C. lawyer filed a $4 million suit against LeBron James' mother, claiming he is James' father.
And with that, prized prospect Pigpen reopened his recruiting: Stating that his squad had "the worst shower discipline of any team I've ever seen," University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley instructed his players on how to scrub using soap and a washcloth.
Also, Santa is fake, the Tooth Fairy is actually Mom and Dad and Balboa-Drago was totally fixed: During a radio interview, former Notre Dame quarterback Joe Montana said that in the real-life version of the events depicted in the movie "Rudy," "the crowd wasn't chanting," "nobody threw in their jerseys" and that players carrying Rudy Ruettiger off the field "were kinda playin' around."
Terrible news. Did he save par? While hitting out of heavy rough, a California golfer inadvertently ignited a 12-acre wildfire by striking his club against a rock, sending sparks into dry scrubs.
However, he still will accept as much money as you'd like to give him: Said Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, "Just because somebody pay you money don't mean they'll make you do whatever they want or whatever. I mean, does that mean everything is for sale? I mean, I'm not for sale."
Breaking News -- Cycling Champ Clean For Entire Weekend: Four days after Tour de France champion Alberto Contador blamed a failed doping test on contaminated meat, he reportedly flunked a second test for a different substance.
Winner of the 2010 Gatorade Cooler Peace Prize: Baltimore Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts confessed that he missed the final six games of the regular season with concussion-like symptoms after reacting to a strikeout by hitting himself in the helmet with a bat.
Well, duh -- it might have been hit No. 999,999: Said Roberts of hitting himself in the head, "It's something I've done a million times, but I still can't tell you for sure if that was [what caused the symptoms]."
Yes milk and crunch and yes I said I will donate yes I will yes: A telephone number for a children's charity listed on the back of boxes of Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco's self-branded breakfast cereal mistakenly connected to a phone sex line.
In other words, about one-third of the team's total payroll: After betting against the Pittsburgh Pirates for all 162 regular-season baseball games, fan Greg Mercer earned a net profit of $324.32.
Tom Brady's Street Cred: 2001-2010. Survived by UGG boots endorsement: Pop star Justin Bieber dissed New England Patriots quarterback Brady's long hair in a rap song.
and learn: A year after nearly dying in a car crash, American soccer forward Charlie Davies was reportedly pulled over in France for driving 125 miles per hour.
Oh, right, it all makes sense now: Davies subsequently claimed he was actually a passenger in the car and that he lied to police to protect the driver, a French club teammate who was afraid of losing his license.
"CSI" stands for: (a) Crime Scene Investigation; (b) Convenient Self-Interest; (c) All of the above: After Tennessee receiver Kenny Britt was involved in a bar brawl, Titans coach Jeff Fisher conducted his own on-scene, late Friday night investigation of the incident and cleared Britt to play; Britt had a record-setting performance in a Tennessee victory.
With quotes like that, he won't have to worry: Discussing the difference between American and Russian women, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin said, "There are an awful lot of heavyset [Americans]. But Russian girls have nice trim figures. I couldn't imagine myself being with an American girl."
Because running 26.2 miles ... hurts? A Chicago Tribune headline read: "Chicago Marathon cheaters: why do they do it?"
"Trust me: I know all about doggin' it." Before being waived by the Minnesota Vikings, Moss reportedly lambasted a team caterer's lunch spread, claiming he "wouldn't feed this to my dog."
And also, a pony: Isiah Thomas said he still believes he can help the New York Knicks win an NBA title.
In related news, someone associated with the Cleveland Browns successfully executed a tackle: An 8-year-old New York Jets fan wearing a team jersey was allegedly tackled in the parking lot of Browns Stadium by a drunk, adult Cleveland fan.
She then picked sand out of her sports bra and skintight bottoms: Following a defeat against Indonesia at the Asian Games, a member of Yemen's women's beach volleyball team claimed bikini-clad cheerleaders were a distraction and "had something to do with our losing the match."
And you thought bikini-clad cheerleaders were distracting: Singapore's Asian Games men's water polo team wore custom swimming trunks featuring the Singapore flag's crescent moon near the groin area.
Surprisingly, the school still offers a geography major: Texas Christian University announced plans to join the Big East.
#whyhasthouforsakenme? After dropping a potential game-winning touchdown, Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson authored tweets to God reading, "I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO..."
But only because the Wu-Tang Clan's "C.R.E.A.M." would have been more appropriate: The University of Alabama fired a part-time stadium worker who played "Take the Money and Run" when Auburn quarterback Cam Newton took the field.
"I meant, literally, right here, on this spot. You know I'm right." Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Luke Scott told Yahoo! Sports that President Obama "does not represent America" and "was not born here."
Really, if there's one sport where forged age-related documents have never been an issue, it's professional baseball: Added Scott, "I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go -- within 10 minutes -- to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is.'"
Auburn football doesn't have enough lawyers already? A federal judge granted an Alabama lawyer and lifelong Auburn football fan's request to hold off scheduling a trial so he and his family can attend the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 10.
"I'd like to thank Carl Weathers, Mr. T and baby oil." Sylvester Stallone was named to the 2011 class for induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
In related news, researchers announced that wearing a bow tie reduces oxygen flow to the brain by 98 percent: Addressing Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick's previous dogfighting conviction, substitute Fox News talk host Tucker Carlson said, "I think, personally, he should have been executed for that."
Also provided free of charge? The perfect metaphor for being a fan of the 2010 Vikings: While asking Minnesota Vikings fans to help dig out the school's snowed-in campus stadium in order to host a game between the Vikings and the Chicago Bears, the University of Minnesota noted that it would provide shovels.
Sportsman of the Year: Asked if he wanted to say "told you so" to his previous three teams after making the Pro Bowl, Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Lloyd replied, "No, I want to say [expletive] you. And I mean that in the most professional way."
We were thinking "Welcome to the Jungle" and an impromptu Oklahoma drill, but hey, whatever works: During a Michigan football banquet, coach Rich Rodriguez told his team that he found solace in the lyrics of Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up," then had his players hold hands above their heads as the song played through ballroom speakers.
Amen! Said Groban on Twitter: "Coach Rodriguez, I'm very flattered but crying to You Raise Me Up is SO five years ago. #playwelcometothejungle."

Looking for an program installer monitor or recorder
I'd like to record the changes that occur to my system between two points in time, including during a reboot. I have an application which is affected adversely by a reboot. It's easy to fix, I just run the installer and it "fixes" itself. But I'd like to know what is being overwritten. Could be reg, could be file, not sure. Thus the question.
There used to be a tool from Novell called Zenworks which came with a tool to record system changes. You used it to set up deployable applications. Does something similar exist today that I can download from somewhere? I.e. It has to have a consumer or open source price tag/
