Town and Country is a suburb in west St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, with a population of 10,815 as of the 2010 census.[8] Town and Country has the highest median household income ($134,387 in 2009)[3] of any city in Missouri with population over 10,000 and also has one of the highest median incomes of any city in the United States. The city is a suburb of St. Louis and is home to Bellerive Country Club, which hosted the 1992 PGA Championship and 1965 U.S. Open.[9]
Town and Country is located at 38°37′52″N 90°28′18″W / 38.63111°N 90.47167°W (38.631002, -90.471581).[10]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 11.68 square miles (30.25 km2), all of it land.[2]
Strict residential zoning requirements have maintained large yards and property grounds while unintentionally allowing the continued growth of large populations of white-tailed deer, to the amusement and ire of many residents. The deer population reached unprecedented levels in the 1990s, leading to a city-sponsored program from 1999-2002 that moved deer to rural areas. The Missouri Department of Conservation stopped the program when it found most of the deer were dying from "capture myopathy" due to stress that caused major organs to shut down. A deer control program of sterilization and sharpshooting was subsequently deemed more humane and effective and approved in 2008.[citation needed] The deer population continued to grow and the program was switched to sharpshooting only in 2011-2012.
Primary thoroughfares traversing the city are Interstate-64/Highway 40. I-270, Clayton Road, Ballas Road, Mason Road and Mo. Highway 141, and Ladue Road.[citation needed]
City landscape[edit]
Originally, it was primarily made up of large residential lots. The community first incorporated in 1950 as a village. The incorporation and establishment of a combination Public Safety Department providing three firefighters and one police officer on duty was to provide lower fire insurance rates for residents. The Village changed to city status in 1974 in an effort to increase property taxes. The maximum "Village" tax rate could no longer sustain the modest city government. In 1983 annexation of a large area to the west more than doubled the size of the city. This caused the city to maintain a police department and contract fire and EMS service to a neighboring fire district.
The original country charm of larger lots with white fences and grazing horses is hard to find, however there are a few exceptions. There are several large tracts of land that remain undeveloped.
Town and Country offers a quiet, restful, green residential landscape, in contrast to the more intensely developed areas typical of St. Louis County. There are relatively few commercial development areas. The predominant commercial locations tend to be at the periphery of the city boundaries along the regional arterials, and/or at the intersections of the major roads. Most of the architecture of local business follows strict zoning laws.
Town and Country was incorporated in 1950 as a village [2], and re-incorporated as a fourth-class city 25 years later. [3]

- Ozzie Smith, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer
- Todd Worrell, former Major League Baseball pitcher and 1986 National League Rookie of the Year
Town and Country is a common birthplace of record for the surrounding area because of its inclusion of Missouri Baptist Medical Center.

I'm trying to write a CDI extension that needs to access the context parameters defined in web.xml via
<context-param>. I think there are two ways of doing this:
- Somehow get the
ServletContextand call
- Manually parse the
Unfortunately I need the the
ServletContext for both solutions and getting it doesn't seem to be possible. The problem here is that some containers startup CDI before the
ServletContext is created. And even if the
ServletContext would be available before CDI starts up, there seems to be no way to access it from the CDI extension. I experimented with a
ServletContextListener that stores the
ServletContext in a static
ThreadLocal. This seems to work fine but it would create a memory leak as I'm unable to cleanup the
ThreadLocal reliably.
Two more comments before you answer:
- Using some other approach to read configuration parameters (like using JNDI) is no option for me as I'm trying to write a CDI extension for integrating with a 3rd party framework.
- I'm aware of the fact that there will be probably no soltion for this problem that is 100% portable between environments/containers. But I would be happy if I find a solution that works in most cases.
Thanks! :)

I am trying to work out how to improve the scoring of solr search results. My application needs to take the score from the solr results and display a number of "stars" depending on how good the result(s) are to the query. 5 Stars = almost/exact down to 0 stars meaning not matching the search very well, e.g. only one element hits. However I am getting scores from 1.4 to 0.8660254 both are returning results that I would give 5 stars to. What I need to do is somehow turn these results in to a percentage so that I can mark these results, with the correct number of stars.
The query that I run that gives me the 1.4 score is:
euallowed:true AND(grade:"2:1")
The query that gives me the 0.8660254 score is:
euallowed:true AND(grade:"2:1" OR grade:"1st")
I've already updated the Similarity so that the tf and idf return 1.0 as I am only interested if a document has a term, not the number of that term in the document. This is what my similarity code looks like:
import org.apache.lucene.search.Similarity;
public class StudentSearchSimilarity extends Similarity {
public float lengthNorm(String fieldName, int numTerms) {
return (float) (1.0 / Math.sqrt(numTerms));
public float queryNorm(float sumOfSquaredWeights) {
return (float) (1.0 / Math.sqrt(sumOfSquaredWeights));
public float sloppyFreq(int distance) {
return 1.0f / (distance + 1);
public float tf(float freq) {
return (float) 1.0;
public float idf(int docFreq, int numDocs) {
//return (float) (Math.log(numDocs / (double) (docFreq + 1)) + 1.0);
return (float)1.0;
public float coord(int overlap, int maxOverlap) {
return overlap / (float) maxOverlap;
So I suppose my questions are:
How is the best way of normalising the score so that I can work out how many "stars" to give?
Is there another way of scoring the results?

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. is raising the quarterly dividend it pays shareholders for the second time since restoring the payout in 2012.
The second-largest U.S. automaker said Thursday its board declared a first-quarter dividend of 12.5 cents per share, a 25 percent increase from the previous 10-cent payout. The new dividend is payable on March 3 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Jan. 31.
Dearborn-based Ford stopped paying a dividend in 2006, a year in which it lost $12.6 billion. After a restructuring, it returned to profitability in 2009. Ford restored its quarterly dividend at 5 cents per share in the first quarter of 2012 and doubled that dividend a year later.
The announcement comes a few days after CEO Alan Mulally said he planned to stay with the automaker at least through the end of this year. Mulally was rumored to be in the running to become Microsoft Corp.'s next CEO.
Ford shares rose 27 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $15.81 in late morning trading.
The largest U.S. automaker, General Motors Co., hasn't paid a dividend since 2008. But CEO Dan Akerson recently hinted one is coming soon.
Akerson told reporters last month that since GM has retired preferred stock that carried high dividend rates and payments, it now has enough money to maintain capital spending and reward shareholders.

text: Never heard of trichloroanisole? If you've ever opened a bottle of wine only to discover that it's been ruined by a terrible wet-cardboard aroma, then you've run into the nasty little compound responsible for untold grief within the wine industry. This "cork taint" has plagued both the ancient chƒteaux of France and the upstart wineries of Australia and California, and can contaminate the cork at many steps along its journey from the bark of a tree to the neck of the bottle. It's so odoriferous that a single teaspoon "is enough to taint the entire annual American wine production." In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of wineries found themselves in perilous straits due to problems with corks, and so a venerable tradition found itself under seige from new technologies, with space-age plastic corks and screw-tops hailed by some as the next wave in bottling. George Taber's The Judgment of Paris chronicles the famous challenge to French wine supremacy by emerging California vineyards; this book draws on the author's exhaustive knowledge of the industry, from the Portuguese cork barons to the chemists and engineers who continue the search for the "perfect closure." The level of detail herein may chiefly interest only the most besotted of oenophiles. But even the casual tippler will find this look into the science and business of wine making an invaluable education. You'll never look at that little cork quite the the same way again. –

The Mixed Reviews of the Breastfeeding Doll
Little girls love to play Mommy with their dolls, but does the new "breastfeeding doll" go too far? The nation seems divided.
"Bebe Gloton" ("hungry baby" in Spanish) has caused quite a stir in the few months since the Spanish toy company Berjuan released it to the U.S. market. The doll comes with an apron-like top to mimic a bra, and the top has brightly colored flowers to mimic nipples (although the doll doesn't "latch on"). The doll's lips, like most dolls', are puckered and ready for feeding. The doll makes a sucking sound when it is being "fed" and burps when it's done.
So... Some people love it, some people hate it. Even the YouTube video of a girl demonstrating Bebe Gloton has an almost equal number of "likes" and "dislikes."
Let's take a look at the gist of the mixed reviews:
- Breastfeeding is natural and healthy, and this doll may promote breastfeeding in future mothers.
- It's great that this doll doesn't come with a bottle, as most dolls do, because formula-feeding is artificial and unhealthy.
- This doll is creepy, and it's disgusting that little girls (who it is obviously marketed to) are being shown how to breastfeed at such a young age.
- There is a sexual element to this doll. Would we give little girls play sanitary pads to teach them about their period or padded bras to show them how their breasts may look someday?
- Breastfeeding is great and this is a good educational toy, but it might be better for older children (but, then, older children don't play with dolls). It doesn't make a lot of sense for younger kids when they can learn about breastfeeding closer to their parenting years.
- So, kids can have toy guns or dolls that fake pee and poop, but not dolls that fake breastfeed? What's wrong with this country?
- Can't kids just use any doll to mimic nursing if they want to? Why do they need this special ($120!!) doll to do that?
The price is pretty crazy, if you ask me!
Parents obviously choose toys at their own discretion, so people who love Bebe Gloton can love it, and those who hate it can hate it. The toy company clearly knew that it would be controversial: the doll is only available as a girl, wearing pink.
Tell us what you think about this controversial little Bebe!
Very good article. Thanks! to sharing post.
Some of the "con" reasons are ridiculous. Although I have some apprehensions about this doll, I think, in the privacy of the home, when these young girls have a new sister being breastfed, allows new mothers to have an opportunity to educate their preschoolers on how and why a mother breastfeeds.
To even suggest that breastfeeding is sexual, I would think that person has a problem with watching too many fetish porn. It's wrong, so very wrong, to think of a child and their toy and a mother breastfeeding in that way, in my opinion.
However, I have to agree with the last one. I think I remember mimicking breastfeeding with my dolls when I was very young. I can't see older kids or teens ever playing with a baby doll.

Amber Heard in Citizens of Humanity Rocket in Leatherette Black
Amber Heard took a stroll with her dog Pistol in Downtown Philadelphia. She was in town shooting for the new movie Paranoia. I always find it refreshing when celebs go out without any make up, it shows they have no worries even when the paps are around.
Amber wore one of my current favourite pairs of jeans, the Citizens of Humanity Rocket high rise Leatherette skinny jeans in Black, with a furry hooded parka and black boots. I've actually been living in these jeans lately as they are so much nicer than I ever thought they would be. I'm doing an updated review later for you all. You can buy these jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Amber Heard in Goldsign Jenny in Debut
Amber Heard was seen getting in her car after leaving a doctors office in LA. Amber wore a pair of Goldsign Jenny high rise skinny jeans in Debut with a slouchy sweater and boots.
We've spotted Rachel Bilson in these jeans quite a bit over the past few months. It's always fun to see two different celebrities out in the same pair of jeans because they usually look so different on each celeb. You can buy these jeans from J Crew for $288.00.
Amber Heard in MiH The Vienna Jeans in Amber
Amber Heard was snapped out and about in Los Angeles, California last month. She stopped to collect her keys before heading off with a drink in her hand.
Amber wore a pair of MiH The Vienna jeans in Amber wash with some studded Jeffrey Campbell slippers and a MiH The Tail white shirt in Star Embroidery. I really love this look on Amber! It definitely reminds me of a classic 'MiH look' from one of their look books! I find their jeans go nicely with looser crisp shirts!
Amber Heard is the new face of Guess!
Amber Heard will be starring as the face of The Guess Holiday 2011 collection! The campaign and collection was unveiled at a Barbeque event in the penthouse of the Mondrain SoHo hotel.
The Holiday Collection features tons of fun party dresses as well as many great denim styles. Skinny jeans with distressing in neutral colors were a highlight, as well as some darker washed (think cranberry colored!) skinny jeans.
Amber's shots for the campaign play up her classic beauty by channeling Marylin Monroe but adding a western twist. In the black and white ads, Amber models dark peg leg jeans and light denim shirts. Sharing her enthusiasm, Amber said, "I've been a huge fan of Guess for a long time and to be the new face of the Fall 2011 campaign is very exciting".

BBC Review
Warts 'n' all singles collection from a contradictory and preposterously brilliant band.
Camilla Pia 2011
And so the Manic Street Preachers bid farewell to music-making, "for at least two years" so they claim. But then, anyone who knows how soundbite-savvy bassist/pop provocateur Nicky Wire can be, knows not to believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The band's early mission statement to make one great album and split is now as distant a memory as their wonderfully camp explosion into indie rock; a refreshing alternative to baggy and grunge, all inflammatory slogans, spouting literature and politics in skin-tight jeans, eyeliner and Coke-sculpted hair (they couldn't afford hairspray). As the Welsh act celebrates 25 years together, they find themselves a decidedly un-Manics proposition. They're still going for a start, and seething apocalyptic punk rock and sneering diatribes now sit rather awkwardly alongside mainstream acceptance, stadium sing-alongs and sedate attire.
But then these conflicting elements are what make Manic Street Preachers one of the most gloriously infuriating and subsequently utterly compelling bands around. And it's reflected in their music, their paradox-ridden contrariness captured and collected here chronologically for the first time. So the career-defining vitriol of Faster, You Love Us, Stay Beautiful and Motown Junk and the epic melancholy of Motorcycle Emptiness, Little Baby Nothing, From Despair to Where and La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) – all must-hears – arrive before the act's most successful anthem-penning period as a trio (A Design for Life, Everything Must Go, Australia, If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next), and then lead into the decidedly dodgy-in-places most recent offerings. The Masses Against the Classes, Your Love Alone Is Not Enough, Autumnsong, (It's Not War) Just the End of Love and Postcards From a Young Man provide sonic relief from a clanger-heavy second disc containing such meandering low points as The Everlasting, Empty Souls and the frankly bizarre So Why So Sad.
But such ups and downs are exactly what makes Manic Street Preachers tick. As the ultimate rock'n'roll survivors, they have battled through more than most – the majority of their peers having either given up long ago or are currently to be found embarking on cringe-worthy comebacks. National Treasures is imperfect in places but it's an honest, true and ultimately triumphant musical document of where the Manics have been and what they've achieved; where they've stumbled and where they've soared. In short: an indispensable guide to an iconic band.

I noticed if I upload an image which has the same name than another one, even 'deleted', it displays the old one with the same name.
In fact, the delete function doesn't 'delete' the image from the host, but it just deletes the image from the plugin configuration.
Can you fix it and permanently remove the image when we press the delete button?

12:00 pm
fox news sunday is a presentation of fox news. this week on "the journal editorial report" you questions about just how seriously the justice department is taking the irs targeting preeb, as a new rule restricting political speech, has the agency come under fire from liberals and conservatives? plus, a serious proposal to overhaul the
code for the first time in twiyears. but is there any hope for congressional action this year. and the pentagon proposes to slash the army to its smallest size in the last 75 years. how risky are the cuts for american security. welcome to "the journal editorial report."
12:01 pm
new questions this week about the investigation into the irs targeting of conservative groups. with the house subcommittee holding hearings, you know just how seriously the department of justice is taking this probe. they're doing this as liberal groups like the aclu and sierra club join conservative clubs voicing opposition into a new irs rule into further restricting political speech. for more on both of these developments i'm joined by "wall street journal" column dannetinger. kim strofle and colin levy. kim, let's start with you there in sin city, washington. you're covering the hearings this week. what have we learned about the state of justice to probe just as it is? >> well, they had a number of legal experts appear before the house oversight committee. it was a pretty depressing recounting, paul.
12:02 pm
what's pointed out here, this seems to be a farce. you got this probe headed up by a former obama donor, barbara bosserman, a trial lawyer heading up out of the civil rights division of the justice department which traditionally been known as sort of a hot bed of liberalism. >> hold it, kim, this is not being run out of the criminal division? >> right. public integrity unit which is where it should be. this is being run out of the civil rights division. >> what is the civil rights response when pointed out? >> you know, they don't have a response. that was actually part of discussion in front of the committees. they won't brief congress on anything. one of the scholars pointed out it's ludicrous. and this witness used to work at the justice department. said that's ludicrous. there's no reason they couldn't be updating congress on the status of this.
12:03 pm
they appear to simply not want to share. or in fact, they're maybe not doing what they're supposed to be doing. >> there's also new evidence this week that the irs is still going after conservative groups when it is vetting
exempt status. tell us about that kim. >> yeah, so, you know, one of the biggest fictions this year is the idea that somehow the entire irs targeting thing has been solved and fixed. there was a story i had out about this one group, the tea party patriots. it's astounding. they're still being targeted. they had been approached last year by the irs for a special deal. the irs basically said we'll give you your determination as a 501 c board if you give up your speech rights. they turned it down. the result was another round of harassing questions. they continue to have to wait for their letter. here's the end the story, the woman who runs tea party patriots, martin, suddenly appears on the witness list to testify before congress. the day before she was supposed
12:04 pm
to give that testimony, the irs called and said, guess what, you've got your determination letter, footbally. >> dan, where's the rest of the press corps on this? it is like the story doesn't exist? >> other than people like kim and a few others digging into it and coming up with really troubling details. remember, is this not any garden variety of government. this is the irs with the
power to -- over every american. >> the standard line for why we're not covering it there's no smoking gun connecting the white house. i kind of agree, there is month smoking gun, there's really a smoking fuselage right there. it's about citizened united, the supreme court decision in early 2010 who said corporations and private groups could participate in politics. that's right. right after that in the state of the union speemp, anybody who watched it will never forget the president with the premium court
12:05 pm
justices sitting in front of him denouncing citizens united. after that, it put off a chain of events at which various democratic senators would send letters to the irs. >> and hold hearings. >> and hold hearings. >> saying what are you doing about the tax-exempt groups? >> note able, dick durbin of illinois, chuck schumer, asked the irs to get on the job of investigating these tea party groups see if they were violating irs laws. and lo and behold, that's exactly what they did. that is exactly what the hearings have been all about. what more do you need to do to connect the dots for the fact that something was set in motion to push these people out of politics. >> colin, this is a new developing story in the sense the irs has proposed a new regulation about what the 501 c-4s can and cannot do.
12:06 pm
it's got an uproar? >> and the comment period closed on thursday with over 100,000 individual comments. i mean that just shatters every other -- it was already breaking records when it was at 20,000. so this is an astonishing development. coming from the left and right. the aclu saying it was politically child. and you hear them saying this has significantly harmed our democracy. and the tea party groups, jennie beth martin testified in the oversight committee this week. and they said, basically, this rule would force her group not to even mention a name of a candidate within a certain period, 30 to 60 days before an election. they'd have to scrub their website. >> collin, is there anybody for this other than politicses who don't like people running against them? >> i guess the irs. >> right. all right. >> and i think -- let's
12:07 pm
understand what's going on here. between now and november, those liberal groups will remain in action. this is being done to intimidate all these conservative groups from staying on the sidelines in the midterm election. i think it's going to have its intended effect whether it becomes official or not. >> thank you all very much. when we come back, for the first time in 25 years, a meaningful
reform proposal was on the table in congress. even some republicans are saying well maybe not now. are they right? ♪
12:08 pm
♪ ♪ (bag shaking) (vo) bring the thrill the catch... now with new shrimp flavor.en.
12:09 pm

12:10 pm
the debate about meeting the
is over. we've already lost a decade, brand we lose a generation, we must enact real, meaningful
reform to get this economy back on track. republican house ways and means chairman dave camp this week unveiling an ambitious plan to overhaul the nation's
12:11 pm
code. for the first time since 1986. at the heart of camp's proposal is a move to collapse the current seven income
brackets into just three. with 99% of taxpayers paying 10% orp 25%. his plan would also eliminate some popular deductions. a political risk in a midterm election year. we're back with dan hettinger and kim straussle and mary o'grady joins us now. mary, you've looked at the details, what do you like in the plan? >> well, paul, i'll start with simplification, lower marginal rates and fewer carveouts for people who can afford to put lobbyists in washington 24/7. right now, the u.s.
code is 70,000 pages long. in 1986, it was 26 pages long. so if that doesn't signal that something is wrong, i don't think we have any evidence. on top of that, the irs, according to dave camp, the irs
12:12 pm
erroneously sent $132 billion to taxpayer money to false, fraudulent claimants over the last ten years. and on top of that, you know, a
code should encourage innovation. and investment. and discipline. >> danelle, that last point is where i pick up. i think the focus here on this reform is simplification, as mary suggests. but it's also growth. we need a
code that doesn't retard the economy but enhanced it. and more incentive to do so in places that really increase productivity. i think this goes a big step in that direction. not perfect, but a big step in that direction? >> for sure. i've taken a look at some provisions and let me say it's not going to put
accountants out of business. >> no, that's a dream. >> it's simple. but it's not simple.
12:13 pm
another one of this thing does is reduce the corporate rate to 25%. >> which is 35%. closer to 40 if you include state rates. >> yeah. if you talk to people in business, they would say, wow, that would enlock a lot of money if you would get that rate down to 25%. the interesting thing is, obama could have had that 25% rate in his first terp. there's generalized bipartisan support for doing it. he won't do it, which is one of the big problems sitting in the middle of
reform right now. we don't have the presidents willing to participate in the process. >> you know, kim, dave camp came in to see us this week. he didn't say that, i'm going to infer that a lot of weaknesses, the top 35% of individuals still who high for reform. but those attempts really to reach out in a bipartisan fashion for democrats and republicans who run the senate and white house and say maybe we can get something down this
12:14 pm
year. is that prospect at all possible? >> well, the history you point out is important, too. remember, mr. camp has been working on this for three years. 30 hearings. he was also working closely with max baucus who was the chairman of the senate finance committee. >> and they shipped him to beijing as the new ambassador. what does that tell you about the
reform? >> and that, you just put your finger on it. so there have been a few outl r outliers in the democratic party. and possibly, the successful by ron white. for the most part, this party remains as dan said, as does the president, for
reform, they don't want scandal, they like the productivity of the current code. and they're willing to accept all of the messiness that comes with it if they can generally keep that in place. >> what about the risks politically, for example, the deduction in the mortgage
12:15 pm
interest deduction you can take. right now, it's capped at $1 million. the cap would reduce that to 500,000. on future mortgages which is still a pretty big house by most american standards. >> not surprisingly, a lot was for the real estate and home building industry. working to denounce the bill. i think one thing that's going to help dave camp is that the government has finally agreed to look at this new package using what they call dynamic scoring. which is they will measure not just how many cuts there are. but if the economy gross ws as expect, what the revenue will look like. and what dave camp outlines for us a very positive story in tellers of more revenue for the government. >> $700 billion estimated over ten years which is a huge revenue windfall. >> why say, dan, the republicans should vote on this, even though
12:16 pm
the leadership is saying privately they don't want to. republicans have got to be for something for a change. we know they're against deficits. this or that program. we know they're against obamacare. great. what are they for? >> right. as you pointed out in the beginning, congressman camp held hearings all over the country. he's listen eed to a lot of people. much of what came out of those hearings which is to say, i believe there is broad political support in the country going in that direction. republicans should take advantage of that. >> thank you all. when we come back, the pentagon proposing to slash the army to pre-world war ii levels. what it means for the interests abroad next. this program is brought to you by blue emu. it would fast. with my friends, we'll do almost anything.

week proposed slashing the army to its smallest sizes in 74 years. setting up what promises to be a fierce fight on capitol hill with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle vowing to fight the proposed cuts to the pentagon budget. "wall street journal" foreign affairs column wrist brett stevens joins us with more p. so, brett, they're taking the army down from what to what? >> 4520,000 now. under 450,000 at some point in this term. which would leave us with an army as small as it's been since 1940. on the eve of the second world war. on the other hands are he's increasing special forces from 66,000 to 70. and taking down the marines slightly from 190 to 182,000, for status quo, mostly. >> what do you make of this and is it as risky as some of the critics say? >> i think it is. for instance, with an army of
12:21 pm
450,000 men, if we had that in 2007, we never could have contemplated the surge. >> the surge in iraq. >> the surge in iraq which at least aloud to us win the war in iraq. let's not forget the army was already too small. under the first bush administration, that's why we had to fight the afghan and iraq wars essentially sequencially. that left us weaker. the administration says this is an army size for the kind of strategy we have. but in geopolitics, you don't get the fight. you only fight the wars that you -- >> wait a minute, they're saying, we're investing in cyber. cyber is a big threat. everybody agrees. and seeming to invest in the navy. the marines and special forces are expeditionary forces.
12:22 pm
they can get to places fast. you don't have to have the logistics to bring them over in the tens to hundreds of thousands. what's wrong with that strategy? >> let me take you back 14 years. defense secretary donald rumsfeld said we're going to have a revolution in the future we're not going to be fighting lower-tech fights. we need a high-tech force. and that's what happened when a bunch of guys with box cutters went on planes. we don't know, the responsibility of the superpower can be prepared for a variety of contention. >> is the american public prepared to finance what brett is talking about?
12:23 pm
>> what happened in europe, the german army is 32,000 or something like that. they simply don't have the defense spending such as the french and british. >> american public will support these kinds of commitments only if the american president uses the leadership to explain to them why it's necessary. and let's sort of understand the context. you mentioned the pivot to asia. made a special trip to asia to reassure that it was real. they doubted our commitment to syria. in all of the areas of the world that senses the united states is pulling back. and if we cut through defense forces like this, they're going to start making deals with whoever they need to in those parts of the world, and that will be to that detriment for sure. >> you know, brett, in the past,

when bill clinton cut the gdp, the republicans fought back and tried stop that. and they did, they put a floor under it. and we had to buildup post 9/11. what happened, where are the republicans standing up and making critique of this? >> yeah, there's very little opposition. and the opposition you hear to base closings is the wrong type of opposition. we need to focus on overhead. there's an isolationist move that's taken over the republican party. i know they hate that word. but that's essentially what it is. the idea that we have to pare back for the sake of government. the prosperity at home also depend on the secure and prosperous world. >> we hope there will be a real debate going forward. we have to take one more break. when we come back hits and

Enlightenment All Around
Published: November 24, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
No work that touches on the relationship between modern Germany and its Jews can entirely overlook questions like that one. Yet any work that reduces German Jewish history in modern times to such scrutiny fails to take the lives it examines seriously on their own terms. Balancing the pull between contingency and teleology is invariably taxing for the historian, but never more than when writing about the German Jewish past.
Elon is best when capturing ways in which Jews translated older practices and predilections into a modern idiom, while responding to the barriers on mobility that continued to stand in German society. He offers interesting information, for example, on the pervasiveness of Jewish booksellers, a byproduct, in part, of restrictions on employment for Jewish university graduates. Jewish booksellers would not infrequently travel the German countryside, reading to groups of peasants in the evening.
Elon provides an especially vivid treatment of Jews in the Revolution of 1848, including a description of the young Moritz Steinschneider -- later a distinguished Jewish bibliophile who came to be known as the driest, the most rarefied of all German Jewish scholars -- eagerly carrying stones to the barricades. Throughout, Elon writes with a gentle irony, a keen sense of the intrusion of small joys, the tug of erotic or other impulses even in the throes of grand historic moments. He has Ludwig Bamberger, at one time a radical journalist and alternate deputy in the 1848 National Assembly, battling in the hills in the Baden countryside in the waning hours of the revolution, while riding at night ''over to an isolated mill nearby for a rendezvous with his fiancée.''
Mostly, however, ''The Pity of It All'' follows a fairly linear trajectory, fixed on intellectuals who begin their lives hopeful and end up mostly frustrated, or worse, flattened by Protestant bigotries, political reaction and Bismarckian machinations -- the vain promise of fraternity in a society that offered Jews the prospect of visibility, fame or wealth but never true, full, unequivocal membership. The story Elon tells is, above all, one of shattered -- in fact, never realized -- friendships. It is bracketed by Mendelssohn's famed connection to the dramatist Lessing, a portent, it once seemed, of countless comparable relationships in the future. At its grim terminal point is a starkly isolated Jewry in Nazi Germany with, in effect, no one (not even those churchmen who in the 1930's protected the non-Jewish mentally ill from Hitler's euthanasia program) coming to its aid.
Perhaps it is because Elon seems interested almost exclusively in those who he declares at the book's beginning were ''the best among them,'' those who ''tended to be indifferent to all religion and to view both their Jewish and their German heritage with detached irony,'' that he gives scant attention to the vast majority of German Jews, whose relationship with both German and Jewish culture was, not infrequently, far more earnest and less ironic, and was born of a desire somehow to embrace -- or at least include -- both. Elon pays no attention to the development of Reform Judaism or, for that matter, neo-Orthodoxy or Conservative (then called Historical) Judaism, all of which offered influential, distinctively German Jewish responses to modernity. He gives almost no attention to women: he claims at one point that ''sadly, very little is known of Jewish women in 19th-century Germany,'' simply overlooking both the ample scholarship on the subject and the treasure-trove of material that is readily available in the contemporary periodical literature he uses elsewhere in his book.
In the late 1960's, at the height of her career, Hannah Arendt, among the few women who find their way into this narrative, collected a series of occasional pieces, several of them truly superb, in a volume entitled ''Men in Dark Times.'' It begins with an essay on Lessing and includes reflections on Rosa Luxemburg and Walter Benjamin and on others, too, with no relation to Jewish life or letters. Elon's book, despite its broader claims, has much the same feel as Arendt's, yet without the same originality of mind. It is an extended reflection on lives that begin hopeful and turn dark. But ''The Pity of It All'' neglects too much of its story's complexity. It never really comes to grips with German Jewry's ''bifurcated soul,'' -- as the cultural historian Paul Mendes-Flohr recently called it in ''German Jews: A Dual Identity'' -- its sincere, serious and creative wrestling with two splendid cultures.

Driving Somewhere Beautiful
In 1973 the academic journal Science published an article called On Being Sane in Insane Places. It documented the findings of an experiment by psychologist David Rosenhan designed to test the validity of psychiatric diagnosis. The first part of Rosenhan's study involved eight 'sane' people feigning auditory hallucinations to see if they could get committed into psychiatric institutions. What is interesting about the experiment is not the ease with which the participants successfully feigned mental illness, but the difficulty they had, once inside the system, of proving themselves sane. Although none of the participants showed any further symptoms it took up to 52 days for them to be released, and even then only then when they accepted diagnosis of irreversible lifelong conditions such as schizophrenia. So what? That's pretty much what I thought until I got diagnosed with bipolar.

Patients will soon be able to rate their time in hospital.
From July, they will be surveyed on their experience and the
results will be published, Health Minister Tony Ryall and
Associate Health Minister Jo Goodhew said.
Patients would be asked 20 questions and boards would be
given a rating out of 10 in four areas: co-ordination,
partnership, communication, and physical and emotional needs.
Results would not affect health board funding.
Mrs Goodhew said a response rate of about 40% was expected.
Asked what would happen if serious patient safety concerns
were raised, Mrs Goodhew said boards already had systems to
handle complaints.
''However, the new system provides another source for this
sort of information, and also allows patients to request DHBs
contact them about the feedback they've given.
''The DHBs have the responsibility to do this locally. Local
follow-up and addressing of issues is the key to good-quality
Results from the first survey will be published in October.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Mark Jaquith wrote a plugin a while back that fetches data from plugins on the WordPress repo, i'd suggest taking a look at this plugin's code to get some ideas about how to query the WordPress Repository API, it's not a huge plugin so you should be able to pluck the necessary info from the main plugin file quite easily, a link to the source is posted below.

2015: Big, strong target forward with untapped potential should get the opportunity to play a larger role in the club's offensive scheme this year…holding his ground and controlling the ball in tight situations will be key to his playing time and the team's success…size suits him well for a solid air game and covering a lot of ground…very motivated, he has the tools to develop into a solid contributor over the next three years.
2014: First-year player participated in 11 matches.
Calvary Christian HS: A four-year letterwinner for the Cougars, he started three years, alternating between center striker and outside wing…saved his best for last when he scored a jaw-dropping 61 points (24 goals, 13 assists) in his senior season on the way to being named Offensive Player of the Year and all-state.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 25, 2013)--Freezing rain and sleet closed schools and offices and caused hundreds of wrecks Friday across North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
The icy weather snarled traffic across much of western and central North Carolina where the Department of Transportation reported traffic moving at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour on much of Interstate 40 from Winston-Salem to Raleigh and Interstate 85 from Charlotte to Durham.
Charlotte Police responded to dozens of calls of cars overturned as the heaviest freezing rain moved through.
The storm has caused no deaths, and only scattered power outages have been reported.
Tennessee declared a state of emergency as a precaution and the eastern part of the state is seeing significant icing.
An ice storm warning was issued from the Smoky Mountains, northward through Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and well into Kentucky.

A fine route but not the caliber expected given its inclusion in Richard DuMais' "Great American Rock Climbs." Got hopelessly jammed up behind a party of 4 (wtf?) to do the reportedly classic 5.9+ finger crack on the fifth pitch. It wasn't worth the wait but that section's reputation was the primary factor in route selection that day.

Good rock and pretty easy.
Nice climb, really not sustained and nice.
We did the left 5.10c variation for the last pitch, which is hard to protect, but not that hard. Again, not really sustained... but still nice !

When I climbed this route 33 years ago I remember a whole bunch of people backed up on the crux pitch. I also remember a climber in another in another party that was at least 60 years old. I was very impatient and he seemed to be very nervous. In 1991 the last time that I live in Jackson my landlord boss a surgeon at the hospital in Jackson fell off the crux all the way down to the belay spot and lived. I got to meet the surgon(he was old) because I had done a little work for him. Man was he fuck up. My land lord was really bummed out because she was never was going to get a job again that payed as much as she made working for the surgon

Guide's wall on a perfect day
Greg Carter from texas and vicente planelles (rc.com name Tristan) from salt lake city swapped leads (sometimes more than once per pitch) to complete this awesome adventure. Vicente was climbing this for the second time (first with Alpinerocket), and elected to do the 5.9+ variation of pitch 5, and to complete the pitch by leading the 10b.c roof. the roof is very very well protected, although once over the roof the climbing becomes a bit thin. Make sure pro under the roof will not cause rope drag, as it will make it very difficult to go through te thin section. Once you overcome the main roof, you will be under another, smaller roof, which you should not climb but just follow up and left and traverse a corner to the left to rejoin the regular route. There is a good cam placement (0.4 inch) right befor you turn the corner, so make sure you place pro as the traverse (about 8 ft.) is unprotected. Highly recommended variation, very exposed.

My MX 518 Optical mouse's thumb buttons aren't working. I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (64-bit) on VMware. I tried installing HID point and it cannot detect the mouse at all. I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea how I can solve this problem. Thanks.
Try the
Also there may come some problems with the VMware itself because virtualizators do not 'forward' button presses to guest OS (Ubuntu in your case) as themselves but emulate other, commonly PS/2 (but I don't know what exactly WMware does, through emulated USB mouse would not differ much in this context) mice and often drop extended keys when mapping host keypresses to guest keypresses.
You can test this by doing
Thumb buttons? What do you mean? Left two? Those won't work. Maybe you can enable them by installing VMware tools and enable the buttons by xorg.conf. Never tried this method, but in theory, its possible. For solution, you can Google around. Since 9.04 is outdate, I just can't really try it anymore. You can use a solution like the following (post #2): http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/43542-5-button-mouse.html . Well, keywords are : 5 button mouse linux (maybe + vmware) ^^"
Just try my answer to the same kind of problem on another question: Back / Forward mouse buttons do not work in VMWare Workstation 6.5 Guest OS

HEALTH insurance could be pushed out of reach for many people because funds are set to lift premiums by $150 a year, advocates warn.
The rise is expected from April next year and industry sources predict they will ask the Government to approve premium increases of at least 5 per cent.
This new hit to household budgets will come nine months after higher income earners were slugged with a new means test on their 30 per cent private health insurance rebate.
More than 2.4 million Australians now pay up to an extra $1200 a year for their cover.
Rising health insurance premiums inevitably push people back into the public health system, South Australian Council of Social Services executive director Ross Womersley says.
"Unless people's own incomes are going up at a similar rate, or they're already on a level of income that means that they can afford to accommodate these kinds of increases, it will create enormous pressure," he said.
"When it comes to expenditure, most people prioritise. Things like health insurance are always an added bonus only if you can possibly afford them."
Mr Womersley feared some people would allow their health to deteriorate to such an extent that it would weigh on the health system in the long term.
Health funds must submit applications for a premium rise to the Government by tomorrow - and they say it is hard to see how the rise could be lower than 5 per cent with private health inflation running at 9 per cent.
A 5 per cent rise would add around $150 a year to a $3000 family policy and $75 to the cost of a $1500 policy for a single person.
That would make health insurance simply too expensive for many people, Consumers Health Forum chief Carol Bennett said.
"It's another slug on consumers trying to cope with high costs," she said.
Australian Medical Association state president Dr Peter Sharley said the private health insurance industry had to remain commercially viable, but a 5 per cent increase would cause many people to drop their cover.
"That will put a strain on people trying to maintain their private health insurance," he said.
"There is a delicate balance between the private insurance numbers and the wellness of the public health system.
"Over 50 per cent of elective surgeries are done in the private system, so if you have people dropping their private insurance, that will only lead to longer waiting lists in the already overstretched public system."
However, the latest private health insurance data released on Friday shows another 83,128 people joined health funds in the September quarter, which began on the same day as means testing, taking the total number of Australians with hospital cover to almost 10.7 million, or 46.9 per cent of the population. That's up from 8.8 million in 2006.
In South Australia, the number of people insured reached 761,000 or 46 per cent of the population, compared with 680,000 or 43 per cent in 2006.
More Australians are now members of health funds than at any time in the past 37 years, Health Minister Tanya Plibersek said.
The reason health fund numbers are growing is that government policies coerce people to join a fund, by imposing a penalty premium on people who delay joining a fund after they turn 30 and a Medicare Levy penalty on those earning over $84,000 or families earning over $168,000 if they don't have private health cover.
When consumer group Choice crunched the numbers earlier this year they concluded that keeping hospital cover was a good move because the Medicare Levy Surcharge meant most people would end up in front, even with the reduced rebate.
"A lot of the work that we've done shows that people are better off if they at least take out hospital cover," Choice spokeswoman Ingrid Just said yesterday.
"We do actually have quite a competitive health insurance sector ... The best way to keep competition fierce and strong and keep the premiums down is if people are willing to switch if they're not happy."
Next year's premium rise will be crucial because it will become the baseline premium for a major policy change in 2014 that will see the Government stop increasing the 30 per cent private health insurance tax rebate in line with health fund premium rises.
Last month in its mini-budget the Government announced that from 2014 it would only increase the rebate in line with inflation to save $700 million over three years.
The policy change will gradually erode the value of the private health insurance rebate and increase out-of-pocket expenses for consumers, with the result that ten million Australians will pay between $15 and $30 a year more for their health cover from 2014.
