"A lucid, entertaining and sobering look at the American patent system."--Hal R. Varian, New York Times
"A disturbing analysis of how the patent system, the heart of the knowledge economy, is rotten. With plenty of examples, the authors explain how America's patent system has become slow and bureaucratic, awarding too many patents for the wrong sorts of things. As a result, it is a threat to this most innovative economy."--Economist
"This book sounds an alarm bell that is hard to ignore since this is a policy area, which is very important for the national interests of the United States. The authors maintain that the present patent system in this country is profoundly flawed."--Giuseppe Ammendola, American Foreign Policy Interests
"This is a timely and concise book that presents a comprehensive and convincing argument about the not-so-explicit changes in U.S. patent law beginning in 1982, changes that the authors argue have broken a patent system that worked previously."--Zainub Verjee, Leonardo Reviews
"Adam Jaffe and Josh Lerner have given us a wonderfully timely book--and also one that is beautifully executed. If Congress is to reform the system, the public ought to understand its current failings."--Rochelle Dreyfuss, Michigan Law Review
"The authors should be applauded for their straight-forward approach and their focus on definite practices such as the patent application process. With elucidating, often entertaining examples this book would be appropriate as supplemental text for students and scholars of intellectual property rights."--Erik N. Dean, Journal of Economic Issues

I'm currently undergoing a project in which I am developing a website for an Artists Management Company. Basically here is a brief outline of what the site has to do. I am just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is possible much appreciated.
Home Page leading to:
- Contact page (including Name / Address / Phone / Google map / TFL journey planner / enquiry form / 1 studio photo)
- About page
- Artists Profile page(s)
- Projects page(s)
The site should allow the artists to log in on their account and update their profile info but the updates will need to be approved by the Admin before being submitted to the live site. The Admin should have full administration of the site and artists profiles.
Also I was wondering how customisable the layout is e.g. can I change the CSS and layout etc. to exactly what I want and finally can I add extra parts myself in PHP also using JQuery?
Sorry that's a lot of questions but I'm new to this and don't really know anything about it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Plump's Last Shot
Plump's Last Shot information
Bobby Plump inspired the iconic movie Hoosiers . He's the kid who swished in the last-second shot, so his tiny school beat the 'big city' school in the 1950s state basketball championship. There's sports memorabilia everywhere. It's located in a big house in Broad Ripple – great for people-watching and sipping a cold one on the dog-friendly patio.

The Amphitheater Seems To Be Great For Some And Not So Great For Others

By Arlety Gonzalez SYRACUSE N.Y. (NCC News) — The opening of the Lakeview Amphitheater with country singer Miranda Lambert exceeded many people's expectations. Many agree that it was a successful event; however, others said that there were a few problems. "They built the amphitheater very quickly," said County Legislator Kevin Holmquist.

Small Plates: Short Fiction (Hardcover)
Agatha Award winner Katherine Hall Page presents a book of short stories featuring her famed heroine Faith Fairchild.
For years, Katherine Hall Page has delighted readers with her Faith Fairchild series, each book like a delicious, satisfying meal. Now, Page has whipped up a tasty collection of appetizing bites.
In The Body in the Dunes, Faith's vacation offers more excitement than she and her husband bargained for when a terrified woman knocks on their hotel room door looking to hide from her husband. A case hits close to home in The Proof is Always in the Pudding, when Faith investigates a generations-old superstition that has been passed down in her husband's family. Faith and her sister, Hope, counsel a bride-to-be suffering a number of alarming accidents before the big day in Across the Pond. In Sliced, Faith switches from contestant to detective when a killer reality television cooking competition turns deadly.
Small Plates also includes some irresistible standalone treats, including the Agatha Award winning The Would-Be Widower, about a husband who longs to be rid of his wife, and Hiding Places in which a young wife's new husband may not be all that he appears.
These stories and more will entice Faith Fairchild fans and new readers alike. Filled with the charm, wit, and the appeal of her beloved novels, Small Plates is a feast for every lover of traditional mysteries.
About the Author
Katherine Hall Page is the author of twenty-one previous Faith Fairchild mysteries and a collection of short fiction, Small Plates. She has won multiple Agatha Awards and has been nominated for the Edgar, the Mary Higgins Clark, the Maine Literary, and the Macavity Awards. She lives in Massachusetts and Maine with her husband.

Is anyone else encountering hacks on 2.9.2? I have found the following across about 10 sites:
- wp-includes/general-templates.php has been modified to include malicious code for malware
- wp-content/plugins/akismet/rss-feed.php has been added by a hack that in turn re-directs google searches
- write to /cgi-bin/ above public_html that redirects Google searches. I discovered this on Friday when Rackspace's Cloud Sites got about 1000 hacks at once. I think I discovered the problem for them :). That hack modified wp-blog-header.php with a simple include("") command.
I didn't notice many of these hacks until I used Google's webmaster tools. With that, you can see what Google sees. Many of these malware and redirects only listen for Google, so you may never know about the problem. Just search
I don't need to know what the 2.9.2 hole is, but I would like the admins to acknowledge something is wrong. I have spent three days constantly catching up to these hacks. The Exploit Scanner misses some of the problems and simply deleting WP and re-installing isn't working.

Clothesline Cleaners
Alexander and Associates seeks out publicity opportunities for our clients and combines these with traditional media and social media. For example, our work for Clothesline Cleaners, won an award for its social media campaign from the Methods for Management Conference Success 2010 in Florida.
Here's an example of how we helped Clothesline. First, in 2011, we hooked up Clothesline with Dress For Success Treasure Valley, which collects professional clothing for disadvantaged women and was holding a clothing drive in conjunction with Office Team. Clothesline collected many women's suits and even some men's suits.
A and A then connected Clothesline with Boise Rescue Mission Ministries, which has a program to help homeless men enter the workforce – and its own well-developed social media and publicity apparatus. After some work with the Mission's media staff, we arranged to have Clothesline collect men's professional clothing for the month of November and we drafted news releases to publicize it. With the cooperation of the Mission, we got some coverage in the Idaho Statesman and KTRV 12 at the kick off and during the clothing drive.
We set up an event for Dec. 1 to hand the clothing over to the Mission and requested Mission representatives and a Mission resident attend to answer media questions . With some judicious and persistent follow-up, we were able to persuade KTRV and KTVB – Idaho's largest news source – to attend the handover, with KTVB devoting more than two and a half minutes to its broadcast. We finally collected about 750 items of clothing, providing a great backdrop at Clothesline's Boise shop.
We started a parallel social media campaign in November, while Clothesline used its emailing list of several thousand customers to help get the word out. Clothesline also brought in Steve Reeder of the local Tom James haberdashery to publicize the drive to his clients. The Mission distributed to the release and assisted with getting publicity. Each party had some kind of publicity assets and put them to work.
We took our own video and will put that up on Clothesline's YouTube page. Between the last few days of November and December, our weekly Facebook page visits increased by 10 percent and wall comments increased by one-third, and we believe it is attributable to the social media and news media push.
McCracken reported that about a dozen customers that hadn't used his services in a while called his store on Dec. 2, saying they saw TV news program that morning, or the night before, and that reminded them they needed to get some stuff cleaned.

California Classical Studies publishes peer-reviewed long-form scholarship with online open access and print-on-demand availability. The primary aim of the series is to disseminate basic research (editing and analysis of primary materials both textual and physical), data-heavy research, and highly specialized research of the kind that is either hard to place with the leading publishers in Classics or extremely expensive for libraries and individuals when produced by a leading academic publisher. In addition to promoting archaeological publications, papyrological and epigraphic studies, technical textual studies, and the like, the series will also produce selected titles of a more general profile.
The startup phase of this project (2013-2015) is supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

High School Shooting in Germany Leaves 16 Dead
BERLIN -- A shooting rampage that began in a southern German school on Wednesday and left 16 dead is likely to stoke fresh debate in Europe about gun control and public security.
The shooting began about 9:30 a.m., when 17-year-old Tim Kretschmer, a former student, entered Albertville high school in Winnenden, a suburb of Stuttgart. He killed nine students and three teachers with a Beretta 9mm pistol before fleeing, police say. In Winnenden, he killed a passerby and then hijacked a car, setting off a massive police manhunt.
Later, in the nearby town of Wendlingen, Mr. Kretschmer ran from the car and killed two men in an auto dealership. He went back outside and traded fire with police before shooting himself.
Police said Mr. Kretschmer graduated last year from the school, which has about 1,000 pupils. Eight of the nine students killed were girls, and all three teachers killed were women, the Associated Press reported.
According to police, the suspect was a below-average student, but managed to graduate last year, the AP said. A sister still attends the school.
Police are investigating whether weapons owned legally by the gunman's parents were stolen before the rampage. His father was a member of a local gun club.
A spokesman for the Association of German Police Detectives, Bernd Carstensen, said the killing spree reveals weaknesses in German laws restricting access to personal weapons. "Weapons should be locked and out of reach, but the law is not enforced," Mr. Carstensen said.
Firearms laws across Europe are generally more restrictive than in the U.S., although they vary by country.
Germany strengthened its gun laws in 2003, a year after a 19-year-old student killed 16 other people and then himself at a high school in Erfurt. The law requires gun owners to register and securely lock their weapons.
The U.K. has had very strict gun controls since 1997, after a 1996 attack in which a man walked into a primary school in Scotland and killed 16 children and their teacher, using four licensed handguns. In France, some called for a tightening of already strict rules in 2002 after a mentally disturbed man shot eight city officials in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.
In the U.S., guns are regulated through a hodgepodge of state and federal laws. Federal laws require background checks when a gun is purchased from a licensed dealer. Some states and municipalities also have licensing requirements for handguns, or may require buyers to register guns.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel interrupted her schedule to follow reports from the crime scenes, her spokesman said. Ms. Merkel called the killings "incomprehensible."

"Seamandrew's Reykjavik Region Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Reykjavík Region by seamandrew
Reykjavík Region Travel Guide: 1,919 reviews and 5,218 photos
Iceland was the trip of our lives.
We couldn't believe we were going, we couldn't believe it when we were there, and we still can't believe we were actually there! It always seemed so far away from the rest of civilization, but it is truly not that far. This country full of everything imaginable is one of the rare gems in this world. Make every effort possible to go, while expensive, every dollar (or Krona) you spend is well worth it.
Please make sure you visit the waterfall pictured above. It's called the Seljalandfoss and it is about two hours away from Reykjavik. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful but you can walk behind the waterfall and see it from an angle that very few get to see. One of my favorite spots in Iceland!
Reykjavik is in fact the world's northernmost capital, but don't be deceived. The capital is not frozen in ice. It is a city rich in culture and filled with colorful houses. The restaurants are many and delicious. I really miss my time in Reykjavik. Be sure to bring money because it is a rather expensive city.
A great website for travel information in Reykjavik is:
This picture of the Hallgrimskirkja is worth adding to the mainpage. The reflection of the sunset on the tower was just breathtaking. The best thing was that this was the view from my hotel room. Visit my must see activities for more on the Hallgrimskirkja.
Be sure to visit the tourist information center on Bankastrćti 2.
- Pros:Vibrant city, rich in culture, beautiful populous
- Cons:Expensive city, only ideal to visit in Summer
- In a nutshell:Sure it's the northernmost capital, but it's as hot and happening as any other place on Earth!

Dim sum hits downtown Minneapolis
Kate N.G. Sommers
I must admit I am not the authority when it comes to dim sum. My first experience was a mere six weeks ago while visiting San Francisco, and while it was delicious, I have a kryptonite: I'm deathly allergic to shellfish. This doesn't make ordering mysterious foods particularly exciting, unless of course you're a fan of the friendly game Russian roulette. When I received an invitation to preview the dim sum at Wondrous Azian Kitchen, however, I felt my chances of not being poisoned by hiding crustaceans would be better here than anywhere--and hey, free brunch!
This is how it works: The server (in most cases for us, this was owner Thom Pham) wheels up a hot cart filled with steaming baskets, and describes the options to be had. Under normal circumstances, I believe it's a decide-as-you-go based on what is in the cart. In our case, we were presented with one of what seemed to be everything on the menu.
Kate N.G. Sommers
Being a bit timid about my daunting allergy, I sampled only the dishes obviously shellfish free, which seemed to be about a fourth of the options. The other diners were up to their ears with options like shrimp dumplings, tender squid with green onions and ginger, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf filled with pork shrimp and egg, while I enjoyed breadstick noodle and steamed red bean buns.
As a non-shellfish-eating meat eater, it certainly wasn't ideal, which would provoke me to say it isn't terribly vegetarian friendly. For shellfish loving omnivores, however, I would definitely recommend checking it out.

I am making a program which makes use of a couple of constants. At first, each time I needed to use a constant, I'd define it as
private static readonly int MyConstant = xxx;
private static final int MyConstant = xxx;
in the class where I'd need it. After some time, I started to realise that some constants would be needed in more than one class.
At this time, I had 3 choises:
- To define them in the different classes that needed it. This leads to repetition. If by some reason later I need to change one of them, I'd have to check in all classes to replace them everywhere.
- To define a static class/singleton with all the constants as public.
- If I needed a constant X in ClassA, ClassB and ClassC, I could just define it in ClassA as public, and then have ClassB and ClassC refer to them. This solution doesn't seem that good to me as it introduces even more dependencies as the classes already have between them.
I ended up implementing my code with the second option. Is that the best alternative? I feel I am probably missing some other better alternative.
What worries me about using the singleton here is that it is nowhere clear to a user of the class that this class is using the singleton. Maybe I could create a ConstantsClass that held all the constants needed and then I'd pass it in the constructor to the classes that'd need it?
edit: I'm using this mostly for complex types, not ints and strings. At least in the C# case that makes a difference as it means I can't use the
const keyword.

The Pumpkin Pie Shot tastes reasonably similar to a pumpkin pie. It blends Irish cream with amaretto and cinnamon schnapps, so you get something of the heavy sweetness and spice that the name implies. This magical little shot is all alcohol, so you can just pour and stir - no need to shake. It's sweet and delicious, and not meant for chugging because it's got much too … [Read more...]
Alabama Slammer
The Alabama Slammer has been around since the 70s, and there are a few minor variations on it. The most common version blends Southern Comfort with amaretto, sloe gin and orange juice. It's a delicious fruity cocktail. In this recipe, the amaretto's cherry notes are emphasized. This is one of those drinks where you can't easily identify different notes - it all blends … [Read more...]
Toasted Almond Cocktail
The Toasted Almond Cocktail is a drink you can make quickly and easily, and it's such a sweet little treat. You can make it the way bartenders do, which is to shake it and strain it into a glass. But at home, most people opt to just pour the ingredients in a glass with ice (or without, if you're using cream/milk straight from the refrigerator) and stir. You may hear … [Read more...]
Nutcracker Cocktail
There are a lot of very different drinks out there called "Nutcracker cocktail", and I'm pretty sure it's one of those cases where people invent a cocktail and pick a name without checking to see if it's already in use (c'mon, people, we have a thing called search engines now). One thing all these recipes have in common is sweetness. This is the version I found in an old … [Read more...]
Amaretto Colada
The Amaretto Colada is basically a Piña Colada with the addition of almond liqueur. This adds a rich, sweet, nutty flavor to the traditional pineapple and coconut. Beyond that, there's really no comparison between the two drinks. The pineapple and coconut flavors are present in both, but the amaretto transforms the overall flavor completely. To me, the amaretto colada … [Read more...]
Red Frog
I'm guessing the Red Frog is so named because it's reddish and, um, Chambord is French. That's all I'm gonna say on that. The drink itself is a tasty mix of sweet raspberry, tart cranberry, sweet almond and smooth caramel notes from the Crown Royal. Overall, this is a sweet cocktail but not a fruity frou-frou. It's even served in a highball glass for that extra dash of … [Read more...]
Broken Down Golf Cart
The Broken Down Golf Cart is a shooter cocktail that's very light on the alcohol. Even with the lime juice cutting the sweetness of the Midori and amaretto, this is still a pretty sweet drink. The first thing I taste is the melon from the Midori, which is quickly followed by both sharp notes from the lime and the subtle nutty flavors from the amaretto. This drink … [Read more...]
Royal Scandal
The Royal Scandal is equal parts Crown Royal, Southern Comfort and amaretto with splashes of sour mix and pineapple juice. If you have issues with sour mix, just replace it with a splash of lemon juice. This is a sweet, nutty drink with woody notes coming from the whiskey and a little tang from the splash of sour mix. It's a really interesting taste that start out sweet and … [Read more...]
Italian Amaretto Margarita
The Italian Amaretto Margarita recipe is a blended margarita that's easiest to make in batches that serve four. It adds amaretto to the familiar margarita flavors of lime and orange, with a little sugar. The result is a combination of citrus and rich almond notes, which is heavenly. This is a wonderful drink to cool down with on a hot afternoon. It also makes a great … [Read more...]
Italian Apple Martini
The Italian Apple Martini is a delicious combination of almond and fruit flavors. It features amaretto, Sour Apple Pucker, vanilla vodka, lime and cranberry juice. The amaretto and vanilla balance the tart fruit ingredients so you get a flavor that starts out sour but quickly mellows out. This drink is delicious anytime, but it always makes me think of fall. It's a great … [Read more...]
Cactus Bowl
The Cactus Bowl cocktail blends pineapple and lime juices with light rum, spiced rum and amaretto. The result is a flavor that's tart, sweet, spicy and nutty. This is a pretty fascinating drink. You can sit there with each sip trying to figure out all the notes, or you can just enjoy the overall flavor which is delicious. This one is great for mixing up in a pitcher and … [Read more...]
Ultimate Eggnog Martini
The Ultimate Eggnog Martini may be the answer if you're needing something a little stronger than eggnog alone. This drink takes eggnog to the next level with the addition of vanilla vodka and amaretto for a rich, sweet, delicious treat. Recipe 2 1/2 ounces eggnog 1 ounce Three Olives Vanilla Vodka 1 ounce amaretto Caramel syrup Brown sugar Cinnamon Fill a … [Read more...]

Victoria's Secret Is Struggling to Sell an Item That's Really Popular at Other Stores
A whole lot of us wear them a couple of times a week. Why, then, is the lingerie destination struggling to move sports bras shelves?
"It's a fashion club now," CEO Sharon Jester Turney told us last November as the line launched. "The days of wearing our old workout shorts and ratty T-shirts are over."
Sounded good on paper (Lululemon, anyone?) but real life has proven to be a different experience and the biggest of Victoria's secrets may be that they can't move what they expected to be big sellers.
Now, with flat sales ("We bought enough sports bras to hit a home run, but we hit a double or a triple," CFO Stuart Burgdoerfer admitted last week at an event in New York.), the lingerie giant is re-examining its foray into active wear on the whole.
READ: The Ultimate Couch Potato Workout
They've decided to step away from the catalog-only offerings of things like sweaters, jeans and dresses because, guess what?, no one cares. If they're not in stores, it seems no one's buying; there are enough other shops at the mall that offer those items in real time.
Plain and simple, women (and mortified and/or horny men) head to Victoria's Secret for underwear -- practical or special occasion -- and loungewear, period. And, the company now realizes this, "We know we're most successful when we remain focused on our core," Turney said last month in a statement.
The upshot for the consumer? If you're in need of a new sports bra, V.S. should probably be your first stop. They have a bunch of inventory to unload and that usually means drastic price reductions.

I am attempting to configure a Samba server to allow access to a service (Oracle) running on a windows server. At one point I have tested this and it worked without an issue so I didn't backup my conf file (grrr). Now I have been fighting with it and nothing I try will work.
I have my windows service setup to login as a domain user and I am logged into the server as that user and can connect to the samba server without it prompting me for a password; however when I run my service is gets a Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Edit #1 9-Dec-2010 1654 GMT/ 0954 MST
I upgraded to Samba v3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2 and was able to finally get some useful logs, however no matter what I do I can not get a user to map and correctly authenticate.
Log file:

check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Administrator] -> [Administrator] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
I have setup mappings in my
smbusers file:
root = administrator admin Administrator [NATRONA]\[Administrator] [RMAN]\[Administrator]
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
And I think I have my share configured correctly:
comment = Recovery Catalog Data
writeable = yes
public = yes
guest only = no
valid users = oracle,root,[NATRONA]\[Administrator]@[NATRONA17]
Obviously there is a mismatch between the username that the Windows server is sending and the mapping on the samba server, I even tried
guest only = yes to attempt to force guest and it did not work.
Some Samba guru please point me in the correct direction. path = /db/recovery

After a day of moving this site in and out of a directory, I finally have it working in a directory, but reading as it from root. Good.
Now there are 2 things that don't seem right, one I do not have any edit links on posts or pages and yes the call for them is in all the files, loops, etc. When I started working today, they were there. ???
And it seems that I can no longer 'preview' posts or pages, I just get either server error message, or this time a WP message saying i don't have the rights. I am the admin.
Where do I start to figure out just what I screwed up trying to get this live showing from the root??

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Supreme Court has set a Feb. 18 execution date for a man convicted of killing three people at a Popeye's restaurant in Gadsden in 1994.
The attorney general's office had sought the execution date for
38-year-old Robert Bryant Melson because he had exhausted his
available appeals.
The Supreme Court announced the execution date
Melson was convicted in the shooting deaths of three workers at
the Popeye's during a late night robbery.
According to trial testimony, the workers were rounded up by two gunmen and taken into a freezer where they were shot.
Another man, Cuhuatemoc "Half Pint" Peraita, was convicted of
capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Peraita is now on death row for killing an inmate at Holman Prison
in Atmore.

VICTORIA (February 14, 2014) Some hungry goats are on two months of fire-prevention duty in Victoria, where city officials rented the animals as part of an experiment to see if the goats will eat their way through dry, flammable brush.
Fire prevention officials at the Texas A&M Forest Service are monitoring the project involving more than two-dozen goats that are trucked each day to Riverside Park to eat the sometimes poisonous scrub that's closed parts of the park since 1998.
Goat owners Terry and Susan Hatfield get $1,200 a week for the goats involved in the project, which started Monday.
The Hatfields run a petting zoo in Port Lavaca.
Councilman Tom Halepaska, who backs the program, said the goats can easy make their way along the steep banks of the river.

About Jack Slocum...
A few people in the community have been asking about Jack and his whereabouts as of late.
We're not entirely sure whether to respond to this with a 404 (not found), 301 (moved permanently) or a 307 (try again later at the same location.) After pretty intense work getting Ext JS established, Jack tapered down his involvement during the past 18 months. Although he may return in some capacity in the future, we wish him all the best.-->

Total re-write, my problems changed quite a bit.
I have 9 shortcuts using Nircmd , they will control the volume if it works correct.
I put My KEY shortcuts into the properties for the shortcuts CTRL-KP7 , CTRL-KP1 etc.
The 2 locations that worked (so far) were the desktop , even foldered, the start menu, even way deep in the menu and foldered. both still have the problem of the Taskbar rising.
Problem Now is, the system pops up the Auto Hide Windows 7 taskbar when I hit the Key shorcuts.
This problem does not seem to be related to nircmd, or the volume adjustment. it seems to be related to the KeyShorts running via the system itself. a 3rd party program (which had its own problems) did not have the taskbar problem, when running the same shortcuts.
The system is using a "classic" theme , not the Areo render theme.
If you know of the limitations and requirements for the windows 7 Users ShortKeys to operate globally, where would be a good place to stick them so they do not get in the way? I am hoping that someone has done this before, saving me time hunting and testing.
Solved the other problem of Hotkey leftovers , that I got into while trying this.
Now I went and did the same thing others have , of getting a global key assignment stuck.
Here is what I know so far about getting a Key shortcut unstuck. Find them, remove them, Re-Boot the system.
It seems that the system picks up the shortcut info from the .Lnk and .url files themselves, there is no registry storage.
This picture, of the .LNK shortcut shows the location of an assigned hotkey, the location was consistant with other files. A program that seeks out this data chunk in the file could find out where Keyshorts are in Shortcuts
Programs that get close to being helpfull, when it comes to locating global Key Shortcuts.
2 free programs I found One scans the keys for the ones that are used. "Activehotkeys" Instead of finding the keys, or anything knowing what program or where they are, it Tests for them. I would guess that it does a brute force :-) type of testing. Racing through them to see what is used. The columns can be sorted bringing the keys with Yes Status to the top of the sort. That covers only the existance of the key being used , which is of little whole value to removing one.
"Windows HotKey Explorer" Will show the windows ones , and the ones that are in place by shortcuts for the system, but not the location of the shortcut/file they are in. In the 64bit the program has to be put into windows 7 compatability mode or it locks up.
Edit: Now the shorts that are in a Folder on the desktop do not Stay past a boot, I can re-set them. The desktop is set to not show icons at all, and I could have turned something off that was needed.
Add to that
The nircmd really doesnt handle the "focused" well, because nircmd itself pulls focus. I have done a few tricks to get focused to work 70-80% but this is becomming a waste. A good resident program that could work with the new featured of the PER-APP volume control shouldnt have these problems.
Notes: by focused, I mean the control needs to apply to the top open program, not be designated, flipping focus to next arbitraty window doesnt help when it is not consistantly pulling focus itself.
What a mess, lets just add another layer of things that dont work.

i'm using timthumb in correlation with the post_thumbnail functionality of wordpress. i've had a ton of issues w/ timthumb, but i have those sorted and now the problem lies in the image source file that I am passing to timthumb.
i've got a large function that runs through a bunch of places to try to find a thumbnail for the particular post... starting w/ checking to see if the post has_post_thumbnail()
but i've got a post that does NOT have a post thumbnail and is still triggering this part of the code. it is then spitting out the src of this fake thumbnail as :
here is the beginning part of my code:
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,$size, true);
$img_src = $image_url[0];
$img_alt = get_post_meta($image_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
if(!count($img_alt)) {$img_alt= $post->post_title;} else { $img_alt = $post->post_title . ' thumbnail'; }
$debug = 'post_thumb';
later on where i use timthumb to generate the image- i echo out the $debug just to know which part of my code is producing the thumb- which is why i am convinced that my if(has_post_thumbnail()) is triggering true, even though my post doesn't have a thumbnail. even if i thought that my wp_get_attachment_image_src bits were doing weird things, w/o a thumbnail it shouldn't even be executing that code right?

The Gibbston couple have transformed in record time - and
with their own hands - a convenience outlet into the Shotover
Street Grocery Store and Deli.
The food baskets of Central Otago and New Zealand are
condensed into a one-stop shop for everything from breads,
pastries, dairy products, meats and pantry items to teas,
coffees, hot chocolate and sparkling and still beverages.
More products are planned.
''We took over in mid-November and ran it as a convenience
store for three months, but it wasn't really us by any
stretch of the imagination,'' Mr Viggers said.
Mrs Viggers said: ''To us, the location, the market and the
locals are important and bringing in our own ideas has been
The couple said more New Zealanders wanted to eat well and
were interested in where their food came from.
The couple contacted suppliers and formed several business
relations which have become friendships.
The irony of Australians showcasing the best provisions New
Zealand has to offer has not escaped them, after some of
Australia's protectionist supermarket giants reportedly took
New Zealand products off the shelves last month.
''The quality of the end product is a gesture of respect to
the growers and it's about respect for the customer too,'' Mr

I have a file that our customer encrypted using our public key. I know how to decrypt it using our ppk file programmatically, but I am unsure of how to do this from the command line, or using PuTTYGen (which I don't think supports the decryption of files from the utility).
Why do you have a public key if you don't know how to use it?
The encrypted block probably says in clear text what program/system was used to encrypt it. It's probably the one that generated your public key.
BTW, I believe I've seem phishing email that used this scheme to try to trick you into downloading and running some "decrypting" software.

After two decades as the fifth Surgeon-in-Chief (1935–1955) of The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Philip Duncan Wilson, MD (1886–1969) retired, having implemented, during his administration, major changes in the hospital. The first most important accomplishment was finalizing a formal affiliation with New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in 1955 and moving adjacent to the medical campus at 535 East 70th Street. The second was changing the name of the Hospital in 1940 from The Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled to The Hospital for Special Surgery. During the two decades as Surgeon-in-Chief, Dr. Wilson was able to reestablish the hospital as a foremost hospital in the orthopedic world. The Board of Managers of the New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled appointed T. Campbell Thompson, MD (1902–1986), as the sixth Surgeon-in-Chief of The Hospital for Special Surgery. He assumed that office on July 1, 1955. During the previous year, Dr. Thompson served as President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Philip D. Wilson, upon his retirement as Surgeon-in-Chief, took on a newly created role as Director of Research at HSS. In 1962, adverse relations between The Hospital for Special Surgery and New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center seriously threatened the continued affiliation agreement between the two hospitals. Because of difficulties over a faculty and staff appointment, Dr. Thompson resigned from the office of Surgeon-in-Chief. He was replaced in1963 by Robert Lee Patterson, Jr., MD (1907–1994), who had first joined the staff of The Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled in 1936 as a Visiting Surgeon.

A Collision of Church and State
War, revolution, Dreyfus and an era of religious and political turmoil
Two monuments in Paris are so prominent that they're hard to miss. One is the Eiffel Tower, of course, the all-iron tour de force of engineering, standing by the Seine amid the city's spacious and supremely elegant West End. Then to the north, atop Montmartre, there is the Sacré-Cœur: a tall, immaculately white Catholic basilica that looks like a digitized pre-Raphaelite set from "Lord of the Rings." What most visitors—and in fact most Parisians— don't realize is that both monuments were designed and their construction begun at about the same time, in the 1870s and 1880s. Even more surprising: The tower and the church were intended as antagonistic national symbols during times of cultural, religious and political conflict that roiled France for decades.
'For the Soul of France'
By Frederick Brown
Knopf, 304 pages, $28.95
Frederick Brown tells the story of that tumultuous era in "For the Soul of France." From 1830, the historical moment he starts with, to 1905, his final station, France passed through no less than four different constitutions; three dynasties (the Bourbons, the Orléans and the Bonapartes); two republics; three revolutions (1830, 1848 and 1870); one coup that worked (Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's in 1851) and two that were either merely attempted (in 1877) or fantasized (in 1889); two civil wars (the June crisis in 1848 and the Commune in 1871); one disastrous defeat to a nascent Germany (1870) that led to the momentary occupation of more than one-third of the country; two major financial scandals, in 1873 and 1892, that swept away most upper- and middle-class savings; and, finally, a turn-of-the-century judicial scandal (the Dreyfus Affair) that prompted a far-reaching law in 1905 mandating the separation of church and state.
Mr. Brown does not omit a single episode in this narrative, nor does he stint on the vignettes and human angles that bring the story to life. He is the author of noted biographies of Émile Zola and Gustave Flaubert, and "For the Soul of France" clearly benefits from his long immersion in the lives and works of these two great novelists, who flourished during the era he describes. Mr. Brown's storytelling is vivacious and fluid, but he also keeps a firm hand on his chronicle, bringing order and perspective to these often chaotic times. (Historian Theodore Zeldin, by contrast, allotted himself five volumes to cover the period 1848-1945 and still ended up concentrating on broad themes and dispensing altogether with chronology.)
Then again, Mr. Brown simplifies his task by operating with a single organizing principle: Most of the turmoil in France during this period stemmed from battles over the restoration of the Catholic Church as France's main societal institution. Under the ancien régime, the country was deemed the church's "elder daughter," and the French king's legitimacy was derived from being anointed at Reims Cathedral in a ceremony with biblical overtones. The Revolution in the late 18th century negated both royalty and the church. In the early 1800s, Napoleon fused the ancien régime and the Revolution, in both political and religious terms: He founded a new monarchy compatible with civic equality and representative government, and he re-established Catholicism as the national religion even as he made provisions for religious freedom.
Napoleon's arrangement more or less held firm for several decades, although tensions mounted between the clerical and secular camps. French Catholics generally were not averse to democracy and Enlightenment ideas, so long as the church's special status was recognized. But with the election in 1848 of Pope Pius IX, a dogmatic theocrat (he decreed papal infallibility in 1869), traditionalists in the church began agitating for a restoration of the ancien régime's power. In reaction, secular militancy increased.
Book Excerpt
The two camps failed to reconcile when France itself was threatened by war with (Protestant) Prussia in 1870, but dire events soon followed: defeat, the partial occupation of France by the newly minted German Empire and the short-lived rule of Paris in spring 1871 by the left-wing Commune, followed by the slaughter of the communards by government troops. "Thousands had been given summary justice and brought before execution squads," Mr. Brown writes. "Blood ran down the gutters, coloring the Seine red."
Catholics took the disastrous events of 1870 and 1871 as an omen that France had strayed too far from its religious roots. "An observant tourist would have found ample evidence to support the view that God seemed happier in France during the early 1870s than He had been for some time," Mr. Brown says, noting that "many young people took holy orders after the war." Secularists insisted that France would betray the best of herself if she did not remain loyal to the Enlightenment thinkers who had fathered the Republic, but the die-hard clericals believed that France could be restored only through the divine grace that would be granted if she atoned for her sins.
For a while, it looked as if the ultra-conservatives would win by democratic means: Though they were largely royalists, they won a majority in the National Assembly, which in 1873 authorized the construction of the Sacré-Cœur shrine as a national symbol of repentance. A reactionary regime known as L'Ordre Moral ("The Moral Order") was introduced. Then things turned sour for the clerical crowd. There were too many pretenders to the French throne, and the most legitimate of them, Count de Chambord, a Bourbon, was out of touch with the country's mood. He proposed, for instance, to replace the national tricolor flag with the ancien régime's white one. Perhaps not surprisingly, secular republicans came to power in two successive national elections in 1877. They soon ordered up a riposte to the Sacré-Cœur on the Parisian skyline: a tower designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel that would be a symbol of modernity and progress for the centennial of the 1789 Revolution.
With the tide of history against them, the clerically minded resorted to outlandish bids for power and influence. A misbegotten coup in 1889 ended before it began when its putative leader, the reactionary French general Georges Boulanger, fled to Belgium. In the mid-1890s, the clericals, hoping to rally the public's support for the church, launched an anti-Semitic campaign. Mr. Brown ably describes how a genteel theological and social contempt for Judaism was transformed into an unbridled hatred for Jews.
The crusade culminated in what came to be called the Dreyfus Affair. A French military officer named Alfred Dreyfus was convicted in 1894 of treason for passing secrets to Germany, though his only crime was being Jewish in late 19th-century France. The affair dragged on for years, with a retrial, in 1899, thanks largely to Zola's support for Dreyfus— who was eventually restored as a French officer in 1906. The sorry episode certainly didn't result in the abandonment of French anti-Semitism, but its clerical proponents—and their broader hope for the restoration of a royalist, anti-Enlightenment, anti-republican France—were discredited.
At times, it is true, one wishes that Mr. Brown had provided a wider comparative context. He might have contrasted the eruptions of reactionary French Catholicism during the 19th century with, for instance, the more progressive politics of Catholics in Belgium, Germany and Italy. And what about the faction within the French church that denounced its antiliberalism and anti-Semitism? Dissidents did exist—and were gradually to dominate French Catholicism in the 20th century. Still, "The Soul of France" offers a great deal of instruction and many narrative pleasures (even for a French reader). After reading it, visitors to the City of Light, and Parisians themselves, may never look at the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Cœur quite the same way again.

Overwintering in the Antarctic
When NPR reporters go hunting for stories, they'll search just about anywhere. Recently Science Reporter David Kestenbaum spoke to Denis Barkats, a scientist in the Antarctic. Denis is overwintering at an international base at the South Pole. (The notion that there's a meaningful difference between winter and summer in the Antarctic reminds me of what Dorothy Parker said when hearing that President Coolidge had died: "How can they tell?")
Anyway, Denis said overwintering in the Antarctic is a real wild time. And I don't believe that for a minute. But it's important for him to be there to maintain a telescope. Denis sent some photos and we'd like to share them, especially because he says the staff likes to download NPR podcasts to keep from going insane through the darkness and cold. The flags — French and German — have to do, of course, with staff allegiances in the World Cup. Along with the flags, there's a photo of the southern auroras — a gorgeous sight, especially when viewed from a warm place.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- A Fort Benning soldier has died after crashing his motorcycle in Columbus.
Columbus Police Sgt. Tim Wynn tells the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer that 24-year-old Stacy Willis crashed just after 6 a.m. Friday as he exited Interstate 85. Coroner Bill Thrower says Willis was pronounced dead 50 minutes later.
He died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Willis, who was from Tifton, was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Wynn says the crash happened when Willis made an improper lane change.
Willis lost control of the motorcycle in the curve and hit a guardrail.
The crash remains under investigation.

I had toned some of the backgrounds down but they probably need a bit more. I also had E3 images originally but they were very similar and a bit boring so I changed them cause I preferred ones with a bit of color. But for anybody who likes E3 images better I will post xpr with them included.
Also thanks for noticing the blade tab issue.

Nice theme, really nice work. I espcially like how clean it is. One request, could you do a grayscale version? the brown is cool but I'm hoping for the grey/black. if that's a possiblility that would be great. Keep up the good work, looks great!
Thanks alot sotu. What do you mean by greyscale? Do you mean blades, runners, backgrounds, intro, guides, icons, gametag, xbmc live, logo ie. everything?
Posted 22 October 2006 - 09:01 AM
I guess everything that's brown, could be a chrom'ish/grey. Dunno if there's a quick pass you can run the images through in photoshop to remove the color and make it look cool but you're better at it than I so if you choose to edit it then I'll be more than happy with whatever rendition you come up with. I'm really hoping to see something matching the color and look of the H3 logo on the kai blade. I think what would look slick.
Great job, that H3 logo is super clean as is the animation on the kai blade, well done.

thanks again for making such a bad ass theme. The creativity of this community is like none other.
Posted 22 October 2006 - 12:28 PM
Ok ignore that last post, what I'm thinking of is a theme in the chrom'ish blue color of the animated H3 logo on the Kai blade. Yes I realize this is alot of work for you and I don't expect anything. What it comes down to is matching a theme to that beautiful animated icon you made. Also could you see about removing the flicker effect on XBMC LIVE if you decide to give this idea a whirl.
thanks again for making such a bad ass theme. The creativity of this community is like none other.
Fix the flicker no problems I can do easy, but changing to chrom'ish blue color is much bmore then just greyscale and you right will take me much time unfortunatley I dont know easy way. I like idea but means starting from scratch and making new textures to match animated logo. This is not easy. But if you want to do it let me know.

First-quarter net income was $4.51 billion, or $2.36 a share, compared with $6.18 billion, or $3.18, a year earlier, San Ramon, California-based Chevron said in a statement today. The per-share result was 16 cents less than the $2.52 average of 11 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Chevron, the world's third-largest oil producer by market value, is among international energy explorers caught in the middle of an intensifying row between the U.S. and its European allies on one side, and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the other. Putin put foreign oil companies on the spot on April 29 when he said they may be shut out of his country if their governments continue to ratchet up sanctions against Russian nationals and institutions.
Chevron and its partners are in the midst of a $5.4 billion expansion of a pipeline that carries oil across Russia's Caucasus region from fields in neighboring Kazakhstan that account for 12 percent of the company's global supplies.
Chevron warned investors last month that weather conditions had curtailed oil and gas production in key regions including Central Asia and North America. The company also cited negative impacts in the quarter from currency fluctuations and falling values for some assets.
Exploration Spending
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Watson is spending almost $40 billion this year to drill for new discoveries and transport oil, gas and fuels such as diesel to markets. In tandem with exploration forays that span the globe from Argentina to China, Watson is overseeing $10 billion in asset sales to narrow the company's focus on its highest-profit projects.
Brent crude futures, the benchmark for more than half the world's oil, declined by 4.2 percent to an average of $107.92 a barrel during the quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. U.S. gas prices climbed 35 percent to average $4.712 per million British thermal units during that period.
The statement was released before the opening of regular trading in New York. Chevron shares fell 0.5 percent to $124.94 in New York yesterday.
Exxon Mobil Corp. is the world's largest energy company by market value, followed by Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

Our Media PC has 2 accounts.
- Admin
- Viewer
I've got kids, and if I let the kids watch shows, they are bad about deleting shows from our media library by accident.
So, the Viewer account is given rights to read from our media library, but they can not write to it.
That said, we can not get the Viewer account to play Matroska video files (.mkv).
From the Admin account, the codecs were installed and the registry fix was made to allow Media Center to display the files.
In Admin mode, these files will play.
There are no messages in Event Viewer when this happens.
Are the UAC settings preventing the Haail Media Splitter from writing some crucial piece of data to the .mkv files?
Does anyone have an idea how to work around this?
