September 2012 Indie Next List
"The Yellow Birds should be required reading for the President, the Congress, and the entire Military Industrial Complex. Powers' novel describes in lyrical language the intensity and the confusion of war. Young men who have barely left boyhood face battle for the first time in Iraq, a country and a people that they know little about. For those fortunate enough to return home, the war comes with them and affects their families as well. In eloquent prose, Iraq war veteran Powers unveils the hidden costs of war for the average American. Truthful and painful, The Yellow Birds will join the classics of war fiction."
— Joan Grenier, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA
A novel written by a veteran of the war in Iraq, The Yellow Birds" is the harrowing story of two young soldiers trying to stay alive. "The war tried to kill us in the spring." So begins this powerful account of friendship and loss. In Al Tafar, Iraq, twenty-one-year old Private Bartle and eighteen-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. Bound together since basic training when Bartle makes a promise to bring Murphy safely home, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for. In the endless days that follow, the two young soldiers do everything to protect each other from the forces that press in on every side: the insurgents, physical fatigue, and the mental stress that comes from constant danger. As reality begins to blur into a hazy nightmare, Murphy becomes increasingly unmoored from the world around him and Bartle takes actions he could never have imagined. With profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home, The Yellow Birds" is a groundbreaking novel that is destined to become a classic.

Praise For…
"The book is so heartfelt and so good that it not only reaffirms the power of fiction to tell the truth about the unspeakable, but also asks serious questions of a generation of writers--myself included--who have thus far avoided addressing these disastrous wars directly. Reading The Yellow Birds I became certain that I was in the presence of a text that will win plaudits, become a classic, and hold future narratives of the war to a higher standard. Impeccably structured and told with the poetry of a master, I often had to put the book down, close my eyes and savour the depth of the writing. Comparisons with Hemingway will be inevitable because of the brevity and economical style, and with Cormac McCarthy because of the author's talent for landscape. But Powers builds on this literary foundation to create a style of his own. He writes without hauteur, and his insights into the post-traumatic condition have a degree of sharpness that frequently subvert the classical mode of his storytelling and leave the reader with heart hammering. This is a superb literary achievement. I urge everyone to read it."
-Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee
"Compelling, brilliantly written, and heart-breakingly true, The Yellow Birds belongs in the same category as Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead. Thus far the definitive novel of our long wars in the Middle East; this book is certain to be read and taught for generations to come."
-Philipp Meyer, author of American Rust
"Kevin Powers' The Yellow Birds is written with an intensity which is deeply compelling; every moment, every memory, every object, every move, are conjured up with a fierce and exact concentration and sense of truth. The music of his prose has an exquisite mixture of control and then release which mirrors the action of the book, and the psychological and physical pressures under which the characters are placed."
-Colm Toibin

What's been going on around the American League in the past week? Tristan H. Cockcroft takes a quick-hitting look at the news and notes for each of the 14 AL teams:
American League East
Baltimore Orioles: Manager Dave Trembley finally named a full-time closer Friday, though surprisingly, his choice was neither Chad Bradford nor Jamie Walker, both of whom have been his most effective relievers of late. No, instead, Trembley picked Danys Baez, who promptly went out and notched his first save of the season hours after being promoted to the closer's role. Such a move once again serves as an example of a manager going with experience ahead of recent performance in making a closer decision; Baez had a 5.70 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 38 appearances this season before Friday's announcement. Bradford, meanwhile, had 0.73/0.81 numbers in 11 appearances since July 1, while Walker had 11 2/3 scoreless innings and four saves in four chances during that span. Baez is well worth adding in AL-only and larger mixed formats upon news of his promotion, though he's no guarantee to remain effective enough to keep the role. Still, he has a 1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and .161 BAA in nine appearances since returning from the DL on July 12. Trembley's plan has Bradford and Walker being used in set-up roles in tougher relief situations, and in one-run games it's possible either could notch a situational save, but neither warrants much more than AL-only attention at this point.
Boston Red Sox: Curt Schilling returned from the DL on Monday night against the Angels and took the loss after allowing four runs on nine hits in six-plus innings. He threw 56 of his 83 pitches for strikes and didn't walk a batter. Prior to his return to the Red Sox, Schilling looked very sharp in his 15 scoreless innings at Triple-A Pawtucket -- he allowed eight hits, no walks, struck out 18 batters and had a .157 BAA in his three turns -- so Schilling should be regarded the same as he was to begin the season, when he was 5-2 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 11 starts through the end of May. Those aren't the same Cy Young-caliber numbers he posted in past years, but they're still indicative of a must-start pitcher regardless of matchup. Schilling could be on a somewhat limited pitch count again in his next start, but he should be at 100 percent within a week.
New York Yankees: Jason Giambi could return from the DL on Tuesday after completing a rehabilitation assignment split between Class-A Tampa and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was 5-for-22 (.227) with one homer, two RBIs, nine walks and seven strikeouts in nine games, better demonstrating his plate discipline than his raw power. Of course, despite Giambi's expected return, it's unclear how he'll get the playing time needed to be the fantasy option he was before getting hurt. That's because Johnny Damon, who has played at less than 100 percent since Opening Day, has been limited mostly to designated hitter duties of late, serving in that role in 21 of the Yankees' last 38 games. Damon could sneak in some time in left or center field, presumably at Melky Cabrera's expense, but owners of Cabrera, Damon and Giambi shouldn't count on any of them playing every day the remainder of the season.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays: For those of you in more shallow fantasy leagues, it's time to familiarize yourself with the name Evan Longoria. The Devil Rays' first-round pick in the 2006 draft (No. 3 overall) Longoria was promoted to Triple-A Durham Wednesday after batting .307 with 21 homers and 76 RBIs in 105 games at Double-A Montgomery. He's 4-for-13 (.308) with three RBIs in his first four games for Durham, and if he can maintain similar rates to his Double-A numbers, could be in line for an early-September promotion. Keep in mind the Ty Wigginton trade clears up some of the Devil Rays' second base/third base glut, and the team was considering shifting current third baseman Akinori Iwamura to second during spring training. At worst, Longoria should get a long look for the third-base role next spring, but there's a good chance he'll earn a promotion in the 40-man roster expansion Sept. 1, making him an AL-only or larger mixed pickup.
Toronto Blue Jays: Citing John McDonald's stellar defense at the position, the Blue Jays officially handed him the starting shortstop role Friday, designating Royce Clayton for assignment. It's not a big surprise; McDonald had started 31 of the team's 45 games at the position since June 15, compared to 14 for Clayton. McDonald's offensive numbers aren't anything exciting to the fantasy owner -- he's a .274 hitter with little to offer in the other rotisserie categories -- but he's solid on defense, which often can help a player in his quest for regular at-bats. He's 10th in MLB in fielding percentage (.981) and second in range factor (5.09) among shortstops with at least 400 innings at the position, stellar numbers. AL-only owners can probably find better for their middle infield spots than McDonald, but as a regular, he could be a .260 hitter with a handful of runs scored.
American League Central
Chicago White Sox: First, the White Sox failed to find a taker for Jose Contreras on the trade market before the July 31 deadline. Now the veteran starter doesn't even have a rotation spot, after the team demoted him to the bullpen in favor of Gavin Floyd on Sunday. The switch was advertised as a one-start situation initially, but after Floyd threw six scoreless innings of seven-hit, no-walk, six-strikeout baseball at Detroit, it seems likely he'll assume Contreras' spot on a more permanent basis. It's not a bad decision at all; Contreras was 1-10 with an 8.87 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and .357 BAA in his past 12 starts dating back to May 28, and with the team already looking toward 2008, it makes sense to test Floyd out now. Contreras' owners can feel free to drop the right-hander, though Floyd, despite his recent outing, remains an AL-only or keeper consideration at best. After all, he still has a 6.35 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and .297 BAA in 22 career MLB starts, and 6.06/2.39/.361 numbers in three starts this season (Sunday's included), making him a risky bet indeed.
Cleveland Indians: Aaron Laffey pitched respectably enough in his MLB debut Saturday to stick around a bit longer, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing only three runs on six hits in a losing effort. In fact, those numbers don't entirely do justice to how effectively he pitched; he allowed only one single in his first 3 1/3 innings of work, inducing eight ground ball outs and his one K during that span. Perhaps Laffey wore down under the pressure of it being his first career start, meaning his second and third turns should be closely monitored. The left-hander was 11-4 with a 2.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and .239 BAA in 20 games (19 starts) combined between Double-A Akron and Triple-A Buffalo, and he's a command specialist, averaging 2.97 walks per nine for his minor league career, 2.16 since the start of the 2006 season. Call him an AL-only or mixed matchups consideration for now. Incidentally, should Laffey struggle in the near future, Jeremy Sowers could get another chance; he has a 0.92 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in his past three starts for Buffalo.
Detroit Tigers: Neifi Perez drew an 80-game suspension Friday after testing positive for a banned stimulant for the third time, ending his season and probably also his Tigers career. It's hardly a loss for the Tigers, because he was better known for his defense than his offense; Lee Sinins in his "ATM Reports" notes Perez is the all-time leader in RCAA (runs created against the league average). With Perez sidelined, expect the Tigers' pursuit of Jack Wilson to heat up, assuming the Pirates shortstop first clears waivers, though it could also help the short-term AL-only value of Ryan Raburn, who is 15-for-42 (.357) with three homers in 15 games since being promoted to take Perez's roster spot on July 6. Andrew Miller left his Friday start after four innings due to a strained left hamstring, which sent him to the DL a day later. He claims he'll be able to return in the minimum 15 days, putting him on track to pitch Aug. 19, the first day he's eligible, though his owners should keep in mind the tricky nature of hamstring injuries with pitchers. Miller hadn't thrown more than five innings in any of his five starts since the All-Star break, a sign that he's still adjusting to big league competition, so be prepared for the Tigers to be conservative with him. Chad Durbin, an AL-only matchups consideration at best, will fill in for the rookie.
Kansas City Royals: Reggie Sanders' season could be over after he was placed on the DL Wednesday due to another tear in his left hamstring. It's the same hamstring in which a tear cost him two and a half months earlier in the season, though it's to a different muscle this time. Sanders' prognosis is a four-to-six-week recovery period, meaning he could be able to rejoin the team in September, though by that time it might merely be in a reserve role. With the veteran sidelined, the Royals started speedster Joey Gathright in left field in four straight games over the weekend, with decent results. Gathright went 8-for-15 (.533) in those four contests, bringing his season batting average to .352, and it appears he's doing a much better job of using his speed to leg out base hits, with a 6.43 groundball-flyball ratio, much improved from his 2.64 ratio when he batted .201 with the Devil Rays early in 2006. He's not a great batsman, but if he continues at his current level, could be a .260-.270 hitter and an underrated source of steals for AL-only owners.
Minnesota Twins: Michael Cuddyer returned from the DL on Friday, immediately reclaiming his everyday right field and cleanup roles. He went 3-for-11 (.273) with two doubles and two RBIs in the Twins' weekend series against the Indians, enough to inspire confidence in him from his fantasy owners once more. He should continue to be one of the more underrated outfielders around, having enough runners on base to drive home with Joe Mauer hitting ahead of him, while seeing enough quality pitches to hit with Justin Morneau hitting behind him in the lineup. Keep in mind that since Cuddyer was shifted permanently to the cleanup role between those two on June 11, 2006, he's a .287 hitter (214-for-745) with 25 homers and 135 RBIs in 193 games, or roughly seven homers and 36 RBIs per 52 contests (the number of games left in the Twins' regular season).
American League West
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: The Angels plan to keep Dustin Moseley in their rotation despite his ordinary 6.30 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in two spot starts the past two weeks, though at this point it's clear the right-hander is the next in line to be bumped, probably once Bartolo Colon returns from the DL. It's Joe Saunders' owners, though, who should feel a little more secure in the knowledge that their starter should remain a member of the rotation the rest of the season. The left-hander is 2-0 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in three starts, two of them quality starts, since being promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake, while Ervin Santana hasn't been nearly as sharp since his demotion there. Santana has a 6.05 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and .329 BAA in three starts for Salt Lake, allowing six runs in back-to-back turns. He'll be back once he gets himself straightened out, but it's looking awfully likely he won't be a fantasy factor again until at least early 2008.
Oakland Athletics: Don't be surprised if Mike Piazza gets traded despite the passing of July 31's trade deadline; the veteran catcher/designated hitter passed through waivers without being claimed, according to Buster Olney, meaning he can now be traded to any team. The Angels and Twins were the most heavily rumored to be interested in Piazza's services a week ago, though the Twins' trade of Luis Castillo might signify they've given up hope for a playoff run. If Piazza indeed gets dealt, it can only mean good things for Jack Cust, who has started only 10 of the Athletics' 17 games since Piazza's return from the DL on July 20, splitting them almost evenly between DH, left field and right field. After missing seven consecutive games and 10 of 11, Eric Chavez landed on the DL on Friday with back spasms. He was batting only .222 (20-for-90) with a .287 on-base percentage and .378 slugging percentage in 27 games since June 18, so it shouldn't be nearly the loss to his owners as it might seem. Marco Scutaro has nine starts at third base in the Athletics' past 10 games, though his .239/.308/.335 rates hardly make him look like a worthy fantasy pickup. Still, they're not far from what Chavez had been offering the past month, which says a lot about how far Chavez's stock has fallen in recent seasons.
Seattle Mariners: Adam Jones, tabbed the No. 10 prospect by Baseball America in its midseason rankings, finally got the call by the Mariners on Friday. He picked up two starts in the team's three-game weekend series against the Red Sox, one in center field and one in right field, at the expense of Raul Ibanez (Friday) and Jose Lopez (Sunday). Ibanez, Jose Vidro and Jose Guillen -- who had some choice words regarding Jones' promotion -- stand to lose the most at-bats in the next two months, though Jones owners shouldn't assume he'll be handed everyday at-bats, until he first proves himself capable. He batted .314 with 25 homers and 84 RBIs in 101 games for Triple-A Tacoma, though, enough to make him a worthy pickup in AL-only and larger mixed formats. Richie Sexson stands to lose a fair share of at-bats thanks to his season-long struggles; his 13-for-86 performance (.151) dropped his season batting average to .196, 25 points lower than his mark through Aug. 5 of 2006. Ben Broussard, a .289/.342/.459 hitter against right-handers this season, picked up starts in each of the Mariners' past three games against a righty, and will continue to do so, with Vidro perhaps also sneaking in time there. It's worth noting that Sexson did bat .359 (66-for-184) with 10 homers and 34 RBIs in 50 games from Aug. 6, 2006, until the end of last season, meaning AL-only owners should keep him stashed on reserve for now. But with his decrease in playing time, such a rebound isn't going to be so easy this season.
Texas Rangers: C.J. Wilson picked up back-to-back situational saves on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. With slugging Indians left-handers like Travis Hafner and Kenny Lofton coming up in the ninth, the Rangers turned to Wilson, who has .093/.198/.120 rates against lefties this season. Manager Ron Washington maintains that Joaquin Benoit, who actually began the ninth inning Wednesday, is still in the closer picture, but both pitchers could offer enough chances to be AL-only worthy. Until one steps up as the clear go-to guy, though, don't expect much from either in mixed formats. Sammy Sosa was informed Wednesday that his playing time will be greatly reduced in the season's final two months, presumably to the point where he'll only occasionally get a start at designated hitter against a tough left-hander. His .321/.423/.593 rates against that side back up this premise, though that'll limit the veteran to mere spot-start status in leagues that allow daily transactions. Jason Botts started four of the Rangers' first five games in August at DH, and is the one AL-only owners should want looking forward.

Hey guys! New to PHP here. This is the first theme I ever wrote just about entirely myself and pretty happy with it. However, today I published a new post and noticed something weird, maybe ya'll can give me a tip on how to improve on my code?
Go to Bullworhy.com and notice in the "issuer alerts" div on the left-hand side of the main content section I've got a line at the top that reads "Genius Brands International (GNUS) Leveraging Digital Footprint To Drive Brand Recognition"...this is a post tagged with the category "Issuer Alerts" and queried using the code below.
The post below that is sticky, so it's got it's own little section. However, the GNUS post is supposed to show up under the query titled "More Issuer Alerts" just below the title and above the
"Bullworthy, LLC Initiates Coverage on Oriens Travel & Hotel Management Corp (Pinksheets: OTHM) With Detailed Equity Research Report and $0.10 Price Target".
Here's the code. Any idea why the GNUS post is showing ABOVE the sticky post and not in the "More Issuer Alerts" section where it should be?? All else being equal of course (i.e. the new GNUS post is tagged correctly, it's not sticky, etc.)

Maybe the question is simple, but I can't find the answer. What I need to do is to round number to 2 places after comma. Im using this:
round(($data/$count*100), 2)
And when I get number like:
60.36036036036012 and : 37.83783783783808 is OK, because it's: 60.36 and 37.84
But why this:
Is rounded to this:
How to round always to 2 places, after comma?

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - True freshman Robert Bolden's second
start at quarterback for Penn State will be a lot more difficult
than his first.
Bolden has earned another starting nod for the 18th-ranked
Nittany Lions after a sensational, two-touchdown debut against
Youngstown State.
But coach Joe Paterno faces a much stiffer task this week in
preparing his young quarterback and the rest of the team for a trip
to No. 1 Alabama.
Paterno says Bolden seems to have the poise to handle the
pressure. But he's worried about the Tide defense, even if Alabama
is without suspended defensive end Marcell Dareus.
Paterno says Alabama also has plenty of talent to make up for
Heisman Trophy tailback Mark Ingram, whose status is unclear
because of left knee injury.

So as some of us that are investing in MLPs know, dividends and earnings are just around the corner.
For the ones I'm in:
PAA: Earnings 11/6, ex-dividend 11/2
CQP: earnings 11/5, ex-dividend (from history, likely 10/29)
LINE: earnings on 10/25, ex-dividend (from history, likely 11/2)
EPD: earnings 11/1, ex-dividend 10/31
For PAA and CQP earnings should be a non-factor for the ex-dividend lineup, but for EPD and LINE in particular there will certainly be an impact. With the nearly non-existent premium on LINE though, I plan on holding on to LINE through earnings, and I see us breaking through the 52 week after earnings. The stock performance for CQP in the past couple of days has been very promising, and I believe a dividend announcement will help us get to $23 this week.
Anyhow, what is everyone's strategy this week or next week for the MLPs? Also, BMY earnings are this week as well, 11/20 analysts rate this a hold into earnings (and we know that hold normally means sell on wall st), good to hold on to my puts or sell them right before earnings? As of now I plan to hold on to these as well.
Anyone holding EPD Calls through Earnings?
I was asking myself a similar question recently (should I hold EPD past ex-div due to this current weakness, & given my calls have a Dec expiration).
The answer for me is that I won't totally rule out the possibility, especially if this week continues to melt down... But I would strongly prefer not to go past ex-div. It's not just the hit to share price (over 60c), but also that every extra day holding is one more day for the market to drop further as we get closer to the election and potential post-election & "fiscal cliff" sell-off. If EPD had a higher distribution percentage I'd feel a little safer too but I don't think high 4%'s is great protection for an MLP & its added paperwork hassles.
Kicking myself 2x over for not being more aggressive about selling off some EPD calls for a nice gain when it was approaching $55 last week, or even when hitting $54.50's. Some of the board members here got it right about selling all or part of their positions at those times..
I'll choose to look at this as a lesson/reminder on why not to get too greedy, maybe the pain will pay for itself with future trades.
It ain't over yet, but it sure ain't looking great right now.
This may be crazy talk, but I'm considering holding some of my DEC contracts past EX div. Is anyone even considering this? Any thoughts on how the election results may affect these MLP's?
Sentiment: Hold
I am considering rolling CQP into Mar 2013, I have Nov 22s, If I do it it will be after EX div, when the pps should be lower. That will give me a chance at another Div run, and it just might recover to B/E before then. I played ETP, PAA, and EPD as well and I should at least B/E or make a little on those trades. CQP remains my problem trade and I am open to any advice
It might be the best strategy, I don't think there's enough time for these MLPs to recover by ex.
That might be a good strategy.They could recover PPS in a few days and if Mitt gets in, turn green.I don't think they could do much worse than they are currently;they are being dragged down by the poor earnings of totally unrelated stocks.
I'm so very glad we made it through Monday w/o a big MLP sell-off like last Friday. I now sense forward momentum coming for EPD, ETP and PAA and especially for CQP who just announced. My exit strategy is to throw my chips in a day or two before Ex and put the MLPs behind me, and hopefully I can recover half of what I lost.
Sentiment: Hold
I think everybody's exit strategy is about the same, exit 1 or 2 days before XDIV , I still think these MLPS can be played successfully in a normal environment. This election is causing a different market reaction then most. One thing I would do different in the future is not take a position untill about 10 days before XDIV or maybe not even until the Div has been declared. Smaller upside potential, but much less downside potential. I,m still learning and open to any advice.
Same here jim, for me it's just about seeing how much my losses can be mitigated before exiting the positions now. Then on towards finding a way to earn some of the lost money back before end of year if possible.
The ex-date for PAA is 10-31. The ex-date for EPD is 10-29.
I hate these stupid MLPs... 1 week from ex and still down.
I agree with you Olee, I myself have trouble understanding why EPD went down even when EPD management increased the dividend. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
For PAA and EPD it says you need to be on record COB on 11/2 and 10/31.

Dr Korman is very attentive to you while you are in the exam room. He spends an average of 20-30 minutes with you, explaining what is going on and what the treatment/meds he prescribes does. But the wait time to get into the examining room is usually 30-40 mins, even when the waiting room is empty. The staff are usually friendly and helpful. But I was waiting for blood work results to be mailed to and called when it was a few weeks after the test, I explained to the person who answered its been a few weeks and she said she'll have them mailed right out. 2 more weeks go by and no results, called the office and talked to a different person who said the office doesn't mail blood work results out. I explained every year I get blood work done and it's mailed to me, and she told me I don't know who would mail results to you from this office but the dr is supposed to call you with results. Again I reiterated for the 5 years I've been going there I've always gotten them mailed to me. Annoyed, she said well that's not supposed to happen and I'll have the dr call you back. No phone call yet. I'm not sure if that's the staff not telling him or he just hasn't called. Overall Dr Korman is satisfactory, returned calls could use some working on and staff could learn office practices.
I've been going to this doctor for 4 years now, because he knew my family history. I have never felt that he cared about treating me, and as a result I was undiagnosed with celiac disease for TWO years. Not only that, but the staff is so impatient and rude, and he does not follow up with you at all. In fact, he told me that if I don't hear from him in two weeks about my blood work, that I should give him a call. ISN'T IT HIS JOB TO TELL ME THE RESULTS OF A TEST?? I have been so disappointed in this physician, especially since I pay a good amount of money for health insurance. I'm in process of finding a new PCP because it's obvious this one only cares about his bank account and not your health.
Dr. Charles is a great doctor. He listen to me very carefuly.
Dr. Korman treated me very well and had a great bedside manner. He seems to be very knowlegeable. I will definitely tell my friends!!

This was a very convenient, secure, and inexpensive place for us to spend a few overnight hours before our early departure flight. It is not a fancy place, but the folks were friendly and helpful, and our promised delivery to the airport in the early morning was accomplished without a hitch, although we missed breakfast.. Our room was a bit noisy for us "early to bed" folks. All in all a good experience, and we'd stay here again.

'No End In Sight'
- Director: Charles Ferguson
- Genre: Documentary
- Running Time: 102 minutes
If you're not already angry about the war in Iraq, this meticulously assembled documentary will almost certainly raise your hackles — either at the folks who've been prosecuting the war, or at director Charles Ferguson, whose clear aim is to hold their feet to the fire.
He does so with a quick summary of 2006 news reports about chaos and death on the ground in Iraq, then goes back to the origins of America's Iraq policy in the 1980s. Interviewing figures from inside a number of different administrations, most of whom talk about escalating miscalculations, he paints a portrait of unprofessionalism, incompetence, and devastating errors in judgment. His most damning witnesses served on the Bush team, including former Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage. There's nothing new about the case Ferguson makes, but it's rarely been made with such devastating force.

HOOVER, Ala. (AP) -- Decades after dropping out of high school to help her parents financially and missing her chance at a beauty pageant, 79-year-old Verdell Goodson has been crowned Ms. Alabama Nursing Home.
Goodson, an Enterprise Health and Rehab Center resident, was one of 10 finalists competing for the title Monday at the Hyatt Regency in Hoover.
Goodson will serve as spokeswoman for state nursing homes and for the Alabama Nursing Home Association. A field of 70 contestants was narrowed to the 10 finalists in a preliminary competition in June in Montgomery.
AL.com reports Goodson worked in the textile industry for 40 years and eventually became a supervisor, inspector and quality manager. She earned her GED from a junior college and served as chairwoman for the Enterprise Water Department, among other things.

Veterans can extend careers as subs
- From: Sunday Herald Sun
- July 22, 2012
IT'S 2014, North Melbourne has made its first Grand Final for 15 years and the man wearing the green vest is a champion called Brent Harvey.
Harvey, who would be 36, comes on as a strategic sub early in the third term, kicks two goals and has 18 touches in a performance that doesn't even last 50 minutes. But the cameo plays a crucial role in delivering the Kangaroos' fifth premiership.
Sounds fanciful? Well, it isn't.
It might be the face of football in the future.
The AFL's substitute system has been in place for a year and a half and clubs are still coming to terms with it.
My view is we could be headed towards a new wave of veteran super subs. This would have a dual effect - they can prolong their careers and can change the way we look at the role of the sub.
The four perfect prototypes are Harvey, Chris Judd, Gary Ablett and Adam Goodes.
Not every player would be suited to the role. The player must be:
AN explosive, burst type.
CAPABLE of filling numerous roles either in the midfield or the forward line.
A GOOD user of the ball by hand and foot.
BE fit enough to enter the contest at any stage of the game.
Judd, Ablett, Goodes and Harvey meet every part of this criteria.
But clubs would need to change their philosophy in terms of enacting the sub.
My view is we could be headed towards a new wave of veteran super subs. This would have a dual effect - they can prolong their careers and can change the way we look at the role of the sub.
Coaches are often conservative in bringing the subs on, meaning strategic moves often happen late.
Almost a third of all substitutions this season have come either at three-quarter time or in the last quarter of matches.
We might see these super subs play about 15 games in a season - with half of them as the sub.
Physically and mentally, it might freshen up some of these champions and see them play for an extra two or three years and almost another 50 games.
If the sub system had been around when St Kilda champion Robert Harvey was still playing, perhaps he would have reached the 400-game mark.
He would have been suited perfectly, as would Nathan Buckley (who had hamstring issues) and James Hird (who had 34 touches in his last game).
Judd strikes me as one who could walk away from the game well before his time. That's fair enough, but if Carlton can somehow free his mind and his expectations later in his career, he could play a role within the team for a number of years to come.
As he heads towards the end, why wouldn't the club give him the chance to extend it by taking on a very different, but important role?
The Gold Coast won't be contending for a flag for a number of years, by which stage Ablett (he is 28) might be towards the tail-end of his career. But imagine how damaging "Gazza" would be - even into his mid-30s - coming off the sub's bench.
Insiders at North Melbourne believe Harvey is perfectly suited as a super sub in the future, and there is little doubt Goodes, 32, would be suited at Sydney.
The first club to master this veteran super sub system could orchestrate a dream premiership farewell for their favourite son.

Rescue Workers In France Sift Through Train Wreckage
A loose rail is believed to have caused a train crash in France that's killed at least six people and injured dozens. Rescue workers on Saturday were still sifting through the twisted wreckage searching for possible survivors.
BBC quotes the state rail company SNCF as saying a metal bar connecting two rails came loose somewhere near the Paris suburb of Bretigny-sur-Orge.
Some 30 people were injured, several seriously, in the crash when the inter-city train carrying 385 passengers veered off the track en route from the French capital to Limoges. Reuters calls it the worst rail accident in France in a quarter-century.
Reuters reports:
"Workers spent the night cutting through tangled metal, but found no more victims. Authorities said the toll could rise if more victims were found in the wreckage or if any of the nine seriously wounded passengers died.
A crane was brought to the crash site to lift a carriage that fell onto its side and others torn open in the accident."
Update At 8:55 a.m. ET:
Reuters quotes Pierre Izard, head of infrastructure services at SNCF, as saying the metal bar in question became dislodged and moved to the middle of the track junction.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley, reporting from Paris, says officials say the death toll is not yet final. They are awaiting the arrival of a giant crane that will pick up the derailed cars and look for bodies underneath.

Essay - Literature Newborn Thrown in the Trash Dies John Edgar Wideman's...
***** Thrown in the Trash Dies
***** Edgar Wideman's short story, "newborn thrown in trash and dies" uses a very distinctive point of view for dramatic effect and irony. The story uses the viewpoint ***** an unwanted baby, thrown into a ***** shoot. The b*****by's last moments make up the *****, from the baby's own internal point of view. Not only is this a unique ***** of view, it is also very emotional and moving. Thus, Wideman uses this point ***** view to make ***** impact of his s*****ry even more dramatic, dark, and depressing.
This disturbing and graphic story opens with a first-person point ***** view that sounds rational and bitter at the same time. The first lines of the story indicate what is to come, just not to who, or why. ***** writes, "They say you see your *****le life pass in re***** the instant be*****e you die. How would they know? If ***** die after the instant replay, you aren't around to tell anyone anything" (Wideman 1396). Thus, the reader ***** prepared for something unpleasant to occur, but it is not clear just how unpleasant that is going to be. In fact, the actually premise of the story does not ***** until much later, but already the view***** draws the reader in, ***** makes *****m want to know ***** about ***** intelligent and embittered character.
***** are times that the narration is funny or amusing, as long as the reader does ***** know what is coming next. The auth***** uses humor in his story the ***** way he ***** t***** point ***** *****, to jar the *****. Using humor ensures ***** reader will be even more affected by the reality that comes after the humor. This ***** in ***** is not funny at all; it is tragic. By using humor, ***** author ***** the situation even more unfortunate, and that makes it ***** more remarkable to the reader. For example, early in the story he *****, "The end ***** the end. And ***** you know at ***** end goes down the tu***** w*****h you. I can speak to you know only because I haven't reached bottom yet. I'm on my way, f*****ter than I ***** to be travel*****g and my journey won't take long" (***** 1396). Without the context of ***** rest of the *****, this just seems like any other bitter and jaded individual who has reached the end of their life and is not ready for it ***** be over. *****n *****, the jaded words appear *****ous ***** wry, some*****. Th***** changes when the context of ***** story be***** clear - these are the thoughts ***** a dying baby on its way down a trash chute. When that is established ***** talk take on a new meaning, and that is exactly what the author int*****ed. He needed to wake up professors to situations they might ***** even think were possible. ***** using ***** point of view, he certainly does just that, ***** it is

I just uploaded all the files to news.surecutblades.com but when you visit it, it downloads an empty file. I use Chrome so it appears as "download" in the lower bar.
For some background, I host http://www.surecutblades.com with MediaTemple but since Highwire Commerce hosts our store, we changed the www A record DNS to point to Highwire's IP. However, we are still able to access our webmail because the webmail.surecutblades.com DNS record points to the MediaTemple IP. So in my DNS settings I added an A record for news.surecutblades.com to point to the MediaTemple IP that we host.
And to make sure our DNS records were set correctly, I uploaded a test html file and could read it just fine. See for yourself by visiting news.surecutblades.com/indextemp.html

Treatment Philosophy: One often enters therapy to relieve emotional suffering that has existed for several years and had painful impact upon one's life. Sometimes therapy begins under duress, at the direction and control of family, a spouse, an employer, or a court. Whatever the impetus, therapy is a journey of telling of one's story, discovery, healing, and setting and achieving therapeutic goals. The therapist's role is to assist, to walk along side, not direct or lead, a client through his or her journey to achieve their desired goals.
Treatment Approach: Ken employs Client-centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Insight, Interpersonal, and Family Systems therapies often coupled with client-appropriate psycho-education that may include biographies/novels, workbooks, and movies.

Great location for the old town, lovely owners, great breakfast!
This is a perfect location for the old town and you can walk to the new part of town within 10 minutes.
The breakfasts were delicious, we stayed 3 nights and I tried something different each morning. The owners were lovely, even leaving wine glasses in our room when she spotted our bottle of wine in the room when tidying up, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that it was advertised as with parking on Laterooms, but it doesn't have parking, the owner contacted me before our stay to tell us though so we were prepared and needed to sort the parking out in the mornings. Apart from this is was perfect.

Short stay
Spent a lovely few days here.
The room was very comfortable and a reasonable price. We had the separate bathroom which was fine and was always clean. Very good location in the heart of the old town. The food was great and the owners friendly. They even put wine glasses in our room when they saw that we had bought a bottle of wine. The tea and coffee and milk were topped up every day and it's the first time I haven't had to ask for extra milk. :-) would definitely stay again.

My break away.
Charming room with a sea view.
Was very clean and well serviced. The couple running the B&B were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. My only bug bear was the fact that it actually ended up costing me more with late rooms than if I had booked directly as there was a special offer promotion available at the time. Many Thanks I would stay again.

People I have Active Directory Windows Server 2008 with 100 pc with Windows 7 in my network , I have installed free antivirus "PC Tools" ,can I remotely uninstall it from all computers ? Maybe some script or something ???

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You need to find a machine with this program installed on it and look for the setup program, then look to see if there's an uninstall option from the command line. If there's a silent uninstallation switch available, you can easily run a login script to try automating this.
If it doesn't support silent and/or command-line uninstallation, you'll have to either script this using a GUI scripting toolbox kit, or give up and go do it by hand, most likely.
If this comes off as vague, it's because that's a very specific product, it may or may not support automated maintenance, and if it was free, it probably was geared for home users and not corporate networks where it would be more management friendly.

Rosie The Riveter On A Wind Turbine: Women And The Growing Green Economy
By Mari Hernandez and Rebecca Lefton
In March, the Bureau of Labor Services released its green jobs report, which reported a total of 3.4 million jobs associated with the production of green goods and services in 2011 – up from 3.1 million green jobs in 2010. Growing at a rate four times faster than all other jobs, the green sector offers new opportunities for good-paying jobs across the U.S. and raises the question: Are women benefitting from the transition to a green economy as much as men?
A new study suggests not, finding that women hold just three out of ten green jobs in the U.S. and are making less than men in the green sector. In the report "Quality Employment for Women in the Green Economy," the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) provides estimates of the number of green jobs held by women within each state, industry and occupation using data gathered from surveys (BLS Green Goods and Services Survey and U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2008-2010), state reports and a 2011 report on green jobs (Brookings study). Several of the key findings from the report include:
- Women are underrepresented in the green economy, holding just 29.5 percent of green jobs compared to 48 percent of the total U.S. workforce
- Women's estimated median earnings are higher in the green economy than in the overall economy ($38,486 compared to $35,574)
- The gender wage gap is lower in the green economy than in the overall economy (18 percent compared to 22 percent, for 2008-2010)
- The distribution of jobs in the green economy is more concentrated in industries that typically employ more men than women, including manufacturing, construction, transportation, warehousing and utilities
- Women's share of green jobs is expected to stay low since the occupations that are projected to see the most growth are traditionally held by men (heating and air conditioning technicians, carpenters and electricians)
With this first-of-its-kind analysis of the gender distribution of green jobs, the IWPR has uncovered both good and bad news. The good news: the green economy offers higher-paying jobs for women and a lower wage gap. The bad news is that this report also exposed the glaring underrepresentation of women in the green economy and a bleak outlook for women in the sector going forward.
As we've written in the past (see here and here), women are vital to the U.S. economy (currently making up about half of the U.S. workforce) and should have the opportunity to take advantage of a growing sector that offers better-than-average pay and benefits. And although women are not represented well in the green economy now, this does not have to be the case going forward. So how can we ensure that women are getting their fair share of green jobs?
First, we have to address an issue which goes beyond just the green economy — the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. To tackle this issue, we must do more to encourage women to enter into these fields early on through educational programs that offer training, career counseling and mentoring. Increasing the number of women qualified for STEM occupations will produce a larger pool of applicants, grow the share of women in STEM positions (and in the green jobs sector), strengthen our workforce and ultimately create more role models for younger generations of women.
We must also take steps to ensure that employers in the green goods and services sector put in place non-discriminatory standards and best practices, especially in industries that are traditionally male-dominated. These best practices could include providing access to professional development training and business management skills classes as well as requiring a certain percentage of women on decision-making and advisory boards (Norway currently has legislation that requires 40 percent representation of either women or men in the boardrooms of state-owned and publicly-traded companies).
The rapidly growing green sector offers an opportunity for a more equitable and inclusive workforce that can help to narrow the gender wage gap and build a stronger economy. Let's make sure that women can fully benefit from it.

6 Responses to Rosie The Riveter On A Wind Turbine: Women And The Growing Green Economy
It's apt that Rosie the Riveter is an icon for the growing green economy reminiscent of World War II urgency valuing human capital as the most important resource for turning around climate change: equality, justice, poverty eradication, universal healthcare, universal advanced education . . .
Green jobs look like a good alternative to sellout work for other industry, but call for entry level skills like electrician, technical climbing, heavy-equipment operator. These skills are not presently taught as electives in an academic curriculum, as far as I know.
I'd love to see a 'hybrid' education develop that has a better mix of the science and the technical skills.
Unfortunately, the really high-skilled jobs are not normally considered green: physicists, geophysicists, oceanographers, applied scientists, etc.
There probably will be major shortages as the crisis accelerates and funding opportunities to supply a workforce with the requisite skills.
Required skills will likely be across the board.
We're really being laggards in the worst way and our expectation levels are way too low.
Reacting to the crisis we have the best reason to seize the opportunity to reinvent our country while adding terrific value to our human capital.
Yet we behave like a petro state stymied by the specter that the fossil fuel industry and other special interests will slap our hands should we really seize the initiative.
Major areas of this country can go net zero in five years and even more by the end of the decade with efficiencies, productivity, and innovations difficult match in the global market place.
Even before I finished writing the comment above, the following new piece was posted on Climate Progress.

"Again, it is not a good idea to lengthen stride, but use a lighter touch and quicker turnover. You can go faster that way. You might increase your forward lean slightly — that will increase your speed."

"He's got great turnover. His stride frequency is very high. Once he's up and running, there are not that many people that can run with him."
"Manager turnover is not necessarily bad. Maybe a manager is leaving and there's a perfectly adequate team in place, or the new manager has been groomed."
"We felt like there was a foul (before the turnover), but you're not going to get a call like that in those situations."
"I'm sure the turnover situation is not what I or Coach Peck wanted. But it can be attributed to the defense being played."

Let me preface my review by stating that my daughter and I had only skied Roundtop and Liberty in south central PA before this trip. Snowshoe was our first visit to a larger mountain. We stayed in Expedition Station in the resort and thoroughly enjoyed the ski-out / ski-in convenience from the building's locker room.
We skied on January 23rd & 24th during a cold snap that followed a period of warm temperatures. As a result, Snowshoe had most if not all of the guns running to replenish the base and get the rest of the trails opened. There were a few times where we were skiing in whiteout conditions but I can't complain about more snow being laid down on the slopes.
It didn't take long to figure out the layout of the mountain and how to get from our warm-up run down one of the green slopes over to the blues and blacks. Widowmaker (black diamond) was a blast but we were a little disappointed that two of the other black diamond runs (Camp 99 & Grabhammer) were closed despite being listed as open on the morning's on-line slope report. In the afternoon, we made the trek over to the Western Territory by taking the Powder Monkey lift, removing our skis, and crossing Snowshoe Drive. The reward for our effort was a glorious quad-burning 1.5-mile trip down Cupp Run. If Shay's Revenge would have been open, we could have spent hours alternating between these two runs.
Now for the biggest surprise of the day. After dinner, we hopped onto the shuttle bus for the short 10-minute trip to the lighted Silver Creek area. A steady snow was falling which provided us with some of the best skiing of the trip. Granted, the runs were shorter and there were no expert trails open, but it was a great way to end the day. The fresh natural powder left the slopes as smooth as silk and all but covered our tracks from one run to the next.
It was still snowing on Thursday morning. Unfortunately, Widowmaker was closed but Camp 99 was open and provided an amazing powdery experience. We were also disappointed to see that Cup Run was listed as a delayed opening as we were looking forward to hitting it this morning with fresh grooming. Due to the effort involved to get to the Western Territory, we didn't get back over to find out when it opened before calling it a day and driving home.
Bottom line: I'm looking forward to a return trip so that I can ski the slopes that were closed and revisit the blues and blacks that gave us a good workout. Snowshoe is a worthwhile destination!
