Our fall 2103 trip featuring Athens, Delphi, the Peloponnese, and the Cyclades Islands. Captions are sparse (after Athens) as this is meant to be a "talking" presentation (with a lot of quick swiping on a tablet.) Some day I will get the captions written. Maybe.

The Peruvian Amazon
We visited the headwaters of the Amazon as part of our two-week+ trip to Peru. While the flora and fauna were spectacular, we found the people to be even more interesting -- and living far differently from our affluent US lifestyle which we returned to each night on our floating hotel.

The Apocalypse Tapestry of Angers, France
Perhaps the largest medieval tapestry hangs in a custom-built gallery in the Castle of Angers. Designed by a book illustrator from Bruges and woven in Paris, this powerful weaving recalls the strange scenes envisioned by John of Patmos that eventually found their way in to Bible of Western Christians – and into the public consciousness of all those who view their present world as going to the devil until it will be rescued through Divine power. The details of which, are left to the reader, the internet, the right and left wing talk shows, etc.

Namur, Belgium
A quiet town named Namur nestles below a huge and historic citadel rising high above where two rivers meet. The now quiet fortress has been assaulted by troops of Julius Caesar all the way to Germany's Third Reich. Today Namur houses parliaments that try to keep fractious Belgium together. Join us for a short visit.

Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Believe or not, there are nearly 20 countries in the world smaller than Luxembourg, but none (of any size) wealthier. It's name means "little fort" and it turned gradually into the Gibraltar of the North as successive invaders improved the fortifications they once conquered. Today instead of stopping invading soldiers, it welcomes European Union bureaucrats with open arms and lures capital with low tax rates and gentle banking laws. Please join us for a brief visit.
Antwerp, Belgium
We finished August in our 3rd Belgian city -- Antwerp, the capital of Flanders. While even toaday a very important place, this was once the richest and second largest town city north of the Alps. Then the religious wars started and little was the same for 3 centuries. Today Antwerp's Gothic, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau buildings delight tourists from the moment they arrive at its classy train station.

Bruxelles -- Brussels
Like New York, NY: a town so nice they named it twice. But for Brussels it's because it's one of the few places in Belgium that's officially bi-lingual. Arguably the capital of Europe and for sure the capital of NATO, Brussels heads a country that may be falling apart. If so, given its architecture and food, let's fall to pieces together.

Dropped the SSL from a wordpress site when I switched hosting companies, so all the links to images and other posts/pages no longer worked. Search Regex to the rescue. Even a newb like me had no trouble setting it up and running it. Corrected almost 8,000 links in about a minute.
Only issue was when I tried to search only, it kept freezing -- probably due to the size of my database. So, I selected "search and save" and it worked like a charm. Fabulous plug-in.

Hi. This is a great plugin. Thank you.
1. I'm not getting the # of comments after the name of each platform (FB, G+, WP). Wondering what I'm doing wrong.
2. Also, the typeface of those labels seems light and thin. Looks much better on your demo site.
3. Finally, at the top of my post (where it says the number of comments), the # doesn't correspond with the number of comments below. How to fix?
4. Wondering if it's possible to leave unchecked as default the "also post to FB" box?
Thank you very much! My site, by the way, is http://iserotope.com.

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology and analytical mass spectrometry are providing unprecedented opportunities to develop the functional genomics resources required to investigate complex biological processes in non-model plants. Opium poppy produces a wide variety of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), including the pharmaceutical compounds codeine, morphine, noscapine and papaverine. A functional genomics platform to identify novel BIA biosynthetic and regulatory genes in opium poppy has been established based on the differential metabolite profile of eight selected cultivars. Stem cDNA libraries from each of the eight opium poppy cultivars were subjected to 454 pyrosequencing and searchable expressed sequence tag databases were created from the assembled reads. These deep and integrated metabolite and transcript databases provide a nearly complete representation of the genetic and metabolic variances responsible for the differential occurrence of specific BIAs in each cultivar as demonstrated using the biochemically well characterized pathway from tyrosine to morphine. Similar correlations between the occurrence of specific transcripts and alkaloids effectively reveals candidate genes encoding uncharacterized biosynthetic enzymes as shown using cytochromes P450 potentially involved in the formation of papaverine and noscapine.

DALLAS -- If I were Emmitt Smith, and I could be if I were younger, shorter, heavier, darker and had more money, I'd be smoking hot. I think Emmitt actually is steamed but is keeping an internal boil mostly to himself.
As he stands on the cusp of breaking Walter Payton's NFL record for most rushing yards in a career, a subplot threatens to reduce the glow from Smith's shiny deed. Oh, it's true that Emmitt has received much attention for reducing his magic number to 540 forward strides. And more lavish tributes will accrue as the yardage countdown progresses.
Emmitt has reacted with studied calmness when asked what it will mean to him to surpass Payton. So far he's said it will mean a lot, also more than anyone knows, generic answers chosen for good reason. Smith hasn't done it yet.
Another Smith-related story has gained wide circulation and, lacking firm denial, gained momentum. What's whispered, been written in carefully coded phrases and openly speculated is:
This will be Smith's last season with the Cowboys no matter how many yards he gains. He'll be too old (34) and expensive to keep in 2003, much less for two more years on a contract at $10 mil per annum.
After Smith breaks Payton's record, his playing time will diminish abruptly or in increments and be given to third-year pro Troy Hambrick as a further commitment to youth.
So here's Emmitt, near an unparalleled achievement, yet to gain a single yard toward that goal, and there is already talk about running him off five months hence. Nor has anyone in authority protested that it's a false alarm, leaving those projections with a lingering shelf life to overhang the record pursuit.
That's the most wretched timing since the Jones-Johnson divorce or the last time Carl Everett went to bat for the Rangers. If I were Emmitt, and I could be except for reasons previously stated, here is what I'd think: This is what I get after running my knickers off for 12 years? Kiss my tender parts. And a strong letter will follow.
Confusion abounds when one ear hears that Smith knows the Cowboys will abandon him beyond 2002. Also that he plans to retire his cleats after this season with full honors. Then the other ear hears Emmitt say if he's effective, he might keep going until he gains 20,000 yards.
Smith isn't the same runner at age 33 as he was at 23. He may be as strong and durable, but there is fractional loss of quickness and speed. Whatever the depth of physical decline, I don't see Emmitt spinning his wheels on rims.
Hark to two years ago when Troy Aikman was active and the Cowboys were to play Minnesota. Then-Vikings coach Dennis Green was prodded to name the Dallas offensive threat that most concerned him. Green stammered: "Well ... there's Emmitt."
As far back as 2000, defenses stacked against Smith because the Cowboys' wide receivers were hopeless. He gained 1,203 yards anyway. In 2001 there was still only Emmitt Because the Cowboys' quarterbacks were a mess and the passing game a mirage.
After missing two games with injuries, Smith still eked out a 1,000-yard season in the season finale against Detroit. Again, he did it against stacked decks.
Now to the infatuation with Hambrick, which may exist in part because he is the pick of a slim litter. His size (6-1, 233), power and age (25) fit the rebuild-with-babes movement. Is there more to him?
Supporters champion him for averaging 5.1 yards per carry last season, third best in the NFL. However, it's a hollow statistic inflated by an 80-yard dash against Philadelphia that sounds thrilling.
And it would have been if it hadn't happened with two minutes left when the Cowboys were losing, 40-12.
Loose with opinions, Hambrick was quoted as saying he was the best running back in camp, a remark that if accurate confirms that heat causes dizzy spells. Who really knows? He may have been joking.
Laughter is the proper reaction to Hambrick, who has yet to run more than two consecutive weeks against a front-line defense, until he proves that he's a reliable receiver or trustworthy to block a blitz. Or better than the guy I could be if I were ...

The Newton High School basketball team is back from its summer road trip with the confidence needed to face the upcoming 2016 season.
In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. And that is what the Newton basketball team hopes to do this summer.
A year after finishing fourth in the state, the Newton Rams took home the Class AAAAAA title in the 2016 GHSA Boy's Track and ...
Page 1 of 1
It took almost three quarters for the Lady Rams to look like themselves Friday night, but Newton poured on 20 points in the fourth quarter to earn its eighth region victory of the season, defeating rival Alcovy 64-48 on the road.
The Tigers might not have proven much of a test, but the Newton Rams varsity basketball team didn't take Alcovy any less seriously Friday night than it would any other opponent.
After leading the Rams with 21 points against region foe Lovejoy, Newton guard Jalen Glover has been named the Newton Athlete of the Week.
Friday night is shaping up to be a great hoops night in Newton County, as Newton High and Alcovy renew their rivalry for the second time this season and Eastside welcomes Johnson for a region match that may decide seeding in the Region 8-AAAA postseason tournament.
Newton went deep into its bench and got some valuable playing time for its reserves against Druid Hills Tuesday night, as the Rams routed the Red Devils 77-40 at home.
It was a blowout from the opening tip Tuesday night at Newton as the Lady Rams defeated the Lady Red Devils from Druid Hills, 51-19.
After pacing the Lady Rams with 10 points in its 51-19 victory over Druid Hills Tuesday night, Newton senior Mercedes Booker has been named the Newton Athlete of the Week.
It was a jam-packed house at Newton High on Saturday evening, the crowd that only Newton vs. Eastside can draw.
After leading the Newton Rams to a pair of back-to-back wins over rivals Salem and Rockdale County, Newton guard D.J. Hill has been named the Rams' Athlete of the Week.
It was a rout from the get-go Wednesday night in Covington, as the Newton Rams defeated rival Rockdale County 65-49 to move to 3-2 overall in Region 2-AAAAAA.
It took over two quarters of play, but when the Newton Lady Rams varsity basketball team finally woke up Wednesday night, they woke up energized, outscoring Rockdale County by 15 in the second half, edging the Lady Bulldogs 56-45 at home in Region 2-AAAAAA action.
The Rockdale County wrestling team will once again represent Region 2-AAAAAA at the Georgia High School Team Dual Wrestling Championship, edging Luella and Newton at the Area 2-AAAAAA duals this past weekend.
The Salem Seminoles girls varsity basketball team hosted the Lady Rams Saturday in the team's second and final matchup of the season, besting Newton 53-41 in the rivalry clash.
The Newton Rams basketball team got back into the win column Saturday evening, after falling to region opponent Luella on Friday night.
The Newton Rams varsity basketball team ran into a buzzsaw Friday night, falling 73-67 to Luella on the road.

Former Subprime Lender NovaStar Files for Bankruptcy
The company formerly known as NovaStar Financial Inc., which before the housing crash made billions of dollars in risky mortgage loans, has sought chapter 11 protection, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The company is hoping to continue its operations while it works to develop a plan to restructure its debts and resolve pending litigation related to past mortgage activities. Before the 2008 financial crisis, Novation — then known as NovaStar — originated, purchased, sold, invested in, securitized and sold subprime mortgage loans and mortgage securities. At its peak, NovaStar originated more than $11 billion in mortgage loans a year, which it then bundled together into securities that it sold to investors. When the housing bubble burst, NovaStar stopped making new loans and sold off its servicing portfolio of existing loans. The company later renamed itself Novation and now focuses on investing in various businesses. In January, it sold its majority interest in cloud-based telecommunications platform developer Corvisa Inc. Despite its new name and focus, the company's old mortgage business continues to be embroiled in litigation tied to the housing market's collapse. At least three significant lawsuits are pending, although the chapter 11 filing puts an automatic halt to those actions.

Search process under scrutinyJune 25,2014As the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union concludes the superintendent search process, we surveyed the search and interview committee members in order to debrief the process and be prepared to make changes for future high-profile searches in our community. We appreciate the hours of work the committee members accomplished to seek qualified candidates, review 22 applications, interview four candidates for consideration, conduct over 60 reference checks on the chosen finalist and listen to community feedback prior to making a decision. The desire of the committees to be transparent and inclusive is evident in the results of the survey, as well as their actions.
The survey was completed by 24 members and helped to identify strengths of the process and suggestions for change. Strengths of the process outlined above included adequate and broad representation on the committees and an adequate timeline for the search process. Also, site visits and reference checks were noted as strengths, with reference checks described as over the top, in a positive way.
Suggestions for change focused on transparency and communication. Recommendations included informing the public in weekly updates which include the full process and progress along the way within legal capacity; explaining up front the limitations of open meeting laws and reference checks and what can be shared publicly; and having a clerk support the work of the chair and the committees due to the intensity of the search process.
The RNESU board appreciates the work that was done on this search and the feedback that was received. Suggestions and recommendations will be incorporated into future high profile searches. The board also is considering a session on open meeting laws this summer to help ensure that it is not only followed by the board but understood by the community.

The final stage in the IBM DeepQA pipeline involves ranking all candidate answers according to their evidence scores and judging the likelihood that each candidate answer is correct. In DeepQA, this is done using a machine learning framework that is phase-based, providing capabilities for manipulating the data and applying machine learning in successive applications. We show how this design can be used to implement solutions to particular challenges that arise in applying machine learning for evidence-based hypothesis evaluation. Our approach facilitates an agile development environment for DeepQA; evidence scoring strategies can be easily introduced, revised, and reconfigured without the need for error-prone manual effort to determine how to combine the various evidence scores. We describe the framework, explain the challenges, and evaluate the gain over a baseline machine learning approach.

Merchants may be allowed to charge extra for credit cards
If this does come true I will not under any circumstance shop at a place that charged extra for credit cards.
I would think and hope if this happens many merchants wouldn't impose the surcharge just because people are already sick of fees and paying extra for using a credit card would upset a lot of people, and if most merchants did impose the surcharge I would cancel all my rewards cards and pay exclusively cash only or paypal and only use one no annual fee and no frills credit card for emergencies or when it was necessary such as a hotel or rental car.
Personally the way I look at it is Visa and Mastercard are providing a service that the merchant purchases. If they don't like the terms and conditions of that service then don't buy the service.
What next? Will the merchants want to charge extra for parking for people who drive to the store as opposed to use public transit? Maybe tack on a little surcharge to each person to cover the costs of air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter?

Thanks. its sorted out
Could you please tell me what exactly i need to do. since I haven't made the project. kindly tell me which file to open and edit?
I have made a site. the text appears totally different in firefox (i.e time new roman)
while I have set it to helvetica and it shows that in all other browsers
kindly tell me how can...
my experience say the most easy way of updating website without going into coding is to use www.cushycms.com. Its not only free but also very easy to have grip on. you just need to define the area...
For seo then probably Yes! ... As a matter of fact the website needs to be updated according to own requirement like if you have got ecommerce website and you update prices, product description etc....
thats right. but blog needs to be updated regularly once or twice in week to get into the eyes of the google crawler
well the best way is to watch tutorials on youtube.
there are various ways to increase website traffic. that includes Search Engine Optimization, google adwords, banner or link excahnge with other websites.
yeah as ferret said Menu Bar: Image > Adjustments > Replace Color
one more thing try gimp available free and a very good tool.
Hi susanleea, website building is a piece of cake nowadays, even for those people who have no experience and understanding of how to code a website. there are many tools available online that help...
Personaly I think its better to go with second one.
and one more thing if you are concerned in a way that user might vote twice or multiple times unfairly then there is practically no solution...
Photoshop is the good tool, especially when it comes to designing websites and for logo and graphics, specifically for large print job, illustrator is the best software as it generates vector based...
if we talk about formats then png is quality format. yeah as it was mentioned above vector images could get you high quality logos
to get an idea
for mobile site, you will need to get your hands dirty with html5/css3.
rtretheway you are absolutely right and dave251 google your issue. you will definitely find the answer.
thanks very much for information. what you guys think of so frequent algorithm change by googl?e
thats right posting in forums like this www.globalsupport365.com can actually get you a follow link and increase the ranking of your site
you will definitly find a solution

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'm moving a couple of wordpress sites from Bluehost to GoDaddy. Both (in both places) use the most recent version of wordpress, the Thesis theme, and both are working fine on bluehost. The first is up and running no problem on Godaddy, the next is not.
I can get into the admin but the site itself is just white screen.

Here's the site I'm having trouble with, on bluehost it's at http://saladdiaries.com and at godaddy it's at http://amykstudio.net/saladdiaries

Drug war
The Portugal experiment. On July 1, 2001, a nationwide law in Portugal took effect that decriminalized all drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Under the new legal framework, all drugs were "decriminalized," not "legalized." Thus, drug possession for personal use and drug usage itself are still legally prohibited, but violations of those prohibitions are deemed to be exclusively administrative violations and are removed completely from the criminal realm.... The data show that, judged by virtually every metric, the Portuguese decriminalization framework has been a resounding success. Within this success lie self-evident lessons that should guide drug policy debates around the world. (pdf of complete paper) [more inside]
Socially liberal, economically conservative
Libertarians, the forgotten voters (pdf) For those on the trail of the elusive swing voter, it may be most notable that the libertarian vote shifted sharply in 2004. Libertarians preferred George W. Bush over Al Gore by 72 to 20 percent, but Bush's margin dropped in 2004 to 59-38 over John Kerry. Congressional voting showed a similar swing from 2002 to 2004. Libertarians apparently became disillusioned with Republican overspending, social intolerance, civil liberties infringements, and the floundering war in Iraq. If that trend continues into 2006 and 2008, Republicans will lose elections they would otherwise win. (via Andrew Sullivan)

The Clay Center Dispatch reports that FEMA told city utilities officials it will deny Clay Center more than $3 million to rebuild a power distribution system damaged in the winter. They also say most money sought by four municipal utilities and rural electric coops throughout the state will not be paid out either.
The Dispatch says local officials expect official word on the decision in two weeks.

The International Longevity Centre – UK (ILC-UK) is a futures organisation focussed on some of the biggest challenges facing Government and society in the context of demographic change.
We ask difficult questions and present new solutions to the challenges and opportunities of ageing. We undertake research and policy analysis and create a forum for debate and action.

Think tank focusing on impact of UK's rapidly ageing population urges reform of 'mediocre' welfare state; warns that without action the welfare state is at risk for the young and the old, and calls for a 'new Beveridge' for the age of ageing.

Quickoffice Logo
|Last release
Android: Varies with device ,[1] iOS: 6.1.4 [2] / Android: 14 February 2014 , iOS: 6 January 2014[1]
|Development status
|discontinued since June 29, 2014 [3]
|Operating system
|iOS and Android
Quickoffice was a freeware proprietary productivity suite for mobile devices which allowed viewing, creating and editing documents, presentations and spreadsheets. It consisted of Quickword (a word processor), Quicksheet (a spreadsheet) and QuickPoint (a presentation program). The programs were compatible with Microsoft Office file formats, but not the OpenDocument file format.[4]
Quickoffice is commonly used in smartphones and tablets. It is available on Barnes & Noble's Nook Color, a more advanced version of their Nook electronic reader.[5] There was a project to port Quickoffice to Chromebooks in February 2013,[6] and the port released as a Chrome extension named "Office Editing for Docs, Sheets, and Slides."
Quickoffice, Inc., a company in Plano, Texas, founded in 2002, originally developed the free QuickOffice and paid-for QuickOffice Pro and QuickOffice Pro HD apps.
On June 5, 2012, Google acquired Quickoffice, Inc., along with its team of developers, for an undisclosed sum.[7][8][9] Google re-released Quickoffice as a free app on September 19, 2013,[10] and includes it with its Android operating system from version 4.4 KitKat.[11]
After having integrated the features of Quickoffice into its own newly released Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides apps, on 29 June 2014, Google announced that Quickoffice would be discontinued, and had since been removed from the Google Play Store and App Store.

A Chinese couple seeking a distinctive name for their child settled on the e-mail '@' symbol — annoying government officials grappling with an influx of unorthodox names.
The unidentified couple were cited Thursday by a government official as an example of citizens bringing bizarre names into the Chinese language.
Written Chinese does not use an alphabet but is comprised of characters, sometimes making it difficult to develop words for new or foreign objects and ideas. As of last year, only 129 names accounted for 87 percent of all surnames in China, Li said.
The letters 'a' and 't' can be pronounced in a way that sounds like the phrase "love him" in Chinese.
The father "said 'the whole world uses it to write e-mails and, translated into Chinese, it means 'love him,"' Li Yuming, vice director of the State Language Commission, said at a news conference.
Li did not say if police, who are the arbiters of names because they issue identity cards, have rejected baby 'at.'

Charles Schultz
OverviewCarl and Dena Halverson Schulz gave birth to Charles Monroe Schulz in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 26, 1922. At a young age Charles would sit down with his father and read the comics in the local newspaper and he even started to draw his favorite comic characters at the age of six. His nickname growing up was "Sparky", after his favorite comic character. He attend school in St. Paul, Minnesota and was allowed to skip two grade because he was so bright. while growing up his mother put him in a correspondence course, where lessons and exercises are mailed to students and then returned when completed, from Art Instruction, Inc.. Schultz was drafted into the Army during World War II and was stationed in Europe. By the wars end he had became a Sargent. When he returned home to Minnesota he worked at a Catholic magazine and taught for Art Instruction, Inc.. Then he caught his big break at the St. Paul Pioneer Press.with his comic Li'l Folks.[1]
Central IssueThe United Feature Syndicate of New York decided to publish Li'l Folks in 1950. Schultz want them to keep the name but the company had the rights to change it and called it "Peanuts". When it first was published it was in seven different newspapers. Over the next year the number of papers that wanted the comic in its paper was up to 35 and by 1956 the number reached 100. the comic was about a kid named Charlie Brown and his dog Snoopy. No adults were seen in the comic. The comic was about Charlies everyday adventures with his friends and family. Besides Charlie and Snoopy, the other main characters were his friends Lucy, Linus, and Schroeder. [2] Woodstock was a bird that hung around with Snoopy. Many people claimed it was a religious comic trying to teach people but Schultz insisted it wasn't. even though many readers say there are many life lessons to learn in the Peanuts comic.As the cartoon got bigger, Schultz added more characters like Susie, Charlies sister and others that were Charlies freinds and peers. The comic turned into a television show in the 1960s and even an off-Broadway stage production, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, was created in 1967. The comic strip ran from 1950 to 2000.[3]
ConclusionCharles Schultz received many awards during his time with Peanuts including Emmys, writing awards, and humor awards. He had amusement parks named after his comic along with fashion designs, museums, and awards. He married Joyce Halverson in 1949 and had five kids together. They later divorced in 1972. He then married Jean Clyde in 1973. Schulz was diagnosed with cancer in November 1999 after the disease was discovered during an unrelated operation. He announced in December 1999 that he would retire in the year 2000, the day after the final Peanuts strip.

Skokie (Ill.) Police Officer Tim Gramins pursuit of bank robbery suspect Raymond Maddox was going well until Maddox headed into a residential neighborhood and slammed on the brakes. Gramins was drawn into a deadly daylight gunfight with neighbors looking on. Maddox lacerated the officer's cruiser with a barrage of 9mm and .380 rounds until Gramins ended the fight.

You can develop a great deal of strength in the weight room, but traditional barbell lifts won't help you to perform a real-life tasks on the job like sandbag lifts and rope pulls will. I recommend adding odd object lifting to your exercise regimen to increase functional strength and add variety to your program. Read our feature, "Odd Object Training," for the full story.
Every cop needs at least one reliable flashlight for duty, and most own a few for various situations. Here are 11 models from leading gear suppliers if you're in the market for a light.
Buying holiday gifts for cops can be a difficult task. That's why the editors of Police Magazine are offering this quick guide to some of the best products that we've seen this year (or in the last few years) that sell for less than $200. This guide does not include any holsters because that's best left to the officer.
It used to be you had to wear the bulky jacket your agency mandated for duty wear. But now there are many different options for duty, training, and other details. And even those formerly bulky jackets are more streamlined, comfortable, and effective at keeping the weather at bay. Here's a look at some of this next-generation outerwear.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) has honored some of the nation's bravest and most dedicated officers through its Officer of the Month program. Officers of the month are nominated by their supervisors, and then the nominees are reviewed by the NLEOMF staff. Nominations that make the cut receive consideration from a select committee of NLEOMF board members. Last year POLICE Magazine became official media sponsor for the Officer of the Month program. We have been publishing detailed stories of the officers who have received this honor in print, since June 2010. View this gallery for photos and capsule summaries of the honorees.
Riverside (Calif.) Police Officer Loren Mitchell became the first officer in his agency to work with a police dog when he was partnered up with "PAL" in 1958. Chief Sergio Diaz and the City Council honored the now-retired Officer Mitchell for this historical achievement at a City Hall ceremony. The photo gallery includes an apprehension the pair made during a 1950s traffic stop.
You spend every shift for several years wearing the same ballistic vest under your uniform. You know it's there keeping you safe, but it's even better when you aren't constantly aware of this protection because it fits just right. Thanks to thinner, more advanced ballistic packages as well as carriers featuring high-tech materials and designs, manufacturers are able to make concealable vests more comfortable and effective. Here's a look at some standout vests available right now.
Today's patrol gloves can protect against microbes, bacteria, blood-borne pathogens, needles, and even knives. They can help you scale chain-link fences, keep your extremities warm, and give you a better grip when you need it. View these nine options that are now available.
Tulsa K-9 Officer Steve Downie was summononed to a dark alley about a mile from a fast-food restaurant that had been robbed on June 10, 1996. Officer Downie and Officer Dick Hobson began searching the alley on foot, when muzzle blasts lighted up the area. Suspect Steven Williams, 21, had engaged officers with a shotgun, firing from a darkened corner in front of a steel plate (visible on the right).

I was trying to upgrade my windows 8 pro 64-bit (ZH-TW) to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (ZH-TW) and my pc would not get the option to keep apps and settings. I tried it on other computers that were installed with the exact same image for windows 8 and I have also tried changing the language and it still doesn't work. I have searched around online but I could not find any solution. I did not move my users folder, like some posts relating to this suggested.
UPDATE: I found out that "Korean" was set as my system language but i have already set english as default. It still shows korean as default now.

Think outside the pattern
Blogger Jolie Lucas encourages pilots to find those airports that offer a little something extra, like Pecos, Texas (KPEQ), which offers homemade burritos, chips and salsa or Beaumont, Kansas [O7S], where you can actually taxi into town. And she encourages airport officials to think outside the pattern: "We can all do a little something to make our airports attractive to guests," she notes.

Quality Oriented Adaptation Scheme (QOAS) is compared against other adaptive schemes such as TCP Friendly Rate Control Protocol (TFRCP), Loss-Delay-based Adaptation Algorithm (LDA+), and a nonadaptive (NoAd) solution when streaming multiple multimedia clips with various characteristics over broadband networks. Streaming efficiency is assessed in terms of loss rate, bandwidth utilization, number of concurrent clients and end-user perceived quality. Simulation results show that using QOAS a significantly higher number of simultaneous clients can be served than when using the other schemes given a target average end-user quality. This is while having higher bandwidth utilization. Testing results also indicate that higher performance is achieved when streaming to the same number of clients using QOAS than when other solutions are used.

As we look back, just about 6 months ago, whether or not we would see a 2011-12 NBA season was in serious jeopardy. The selfish owners and even more selfish players could not meet eye to eye on almost any of the subjects of debate and called off talks multiple times. Every time we thought it might be in the home stretch there was another setback to spoil the start to the season. But looking back as the regular season has come to a close, we have to ask...was the shortened season a blessing in disguise? While many will point to the severe spike of injuries thanks to the shortened season (even David Stern acknowledges the possibility), we have to consider that much of this was because of the condensed schedule and rapid fire road trips teams had to endure throughout the season. A 66 game season itself had little to do with the injuries, rather it was how the games were scheduled that did. But in 66 games, the NBA had its usual ebbs and flows as it would in an 82 game season. We ...

I am 18 years old and I have been suffering from chronic kidney disease since I was born. I was born with a pair of weak kidneys and one of them is smaller than the other. This disorder causes a series of other health problems for me. I am now in stage 4, and I feel as if I have grown weaker over time. I've been in and out of the hospital several times.

I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease about two years ago from taking a certain medication. I have 50% loss, but have urinary tract infections constantly, suffer from fatigue, depression, and cramps. I see my kidney doctor every 4 months with updated blood tests. I also take high blood pressure medication which I didn't start until I retired from my stressful job (couldn't understand that), but I'm 65 and feel all used up.

I am a diabetic with high blood pressure which is kept under control with medication. Several years ago I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. More recently I have been itching and scratching which results in bruising. My doctor tells me that I have "fragile skin" but it appears it could be something more serious. I have an appointment with my doctor next week and will discuss it with him then.

Dayton blasts Republicans after nominee ousted for backing clean energy
Repub Senators to Anderson: You aren't down with coal and natural gas? Then get the frack out!
Are you a supporter of renewable energy? Perhaps you've said a derogatory word or two about fossil fuels in the past? Then, in the eyes of the MNGOP, you aren't fit to serve as chair of the Public Utilities Commission.
The first political eruption of the 2012 legislative session happened yesterday after Senate Republicans ousted former DFL Senator Ellen Anderson from her job as PUC chair in a 37-29 party-line vote. Anderson was first appointed to the position last March and didn't need Senate approval until the start of the 2012 legislative session.
In justifying the ouster, Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, chairwoman of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee, said Anderson had "demonized traditional energy sources" and made "derogatory references" to "dirty and dangerous fossil fuels or energy cartels."
The Rosen-led GOP effort to oust Anderson caused Dayton to explode like an oil well.
Those comments "do not reflect well on the nominee," Rosen said, adding that Anderson's views are too "extreme" for a state that needs a balanced energy portfolio.
Anderson's ouster less than a year after she resigned her Senate seat for the PUC job infuriated Dayton, who pointed out that 204 of the 221 votes the five-member PUC board has made since last March were unanimous.
At an impromptu news conference, Dayton said that "a very good person, a very dedicated public servant and an excellent chair of the Public Utilities Commission was wrongly maligned and cruelly rejected today by Republican senators, who showed once again that they are unfit to govern this state."
He took a shot at Senate Republicans for making a stink about a normally uncontroversial appointment at a time when the MNGOP is still dealing with a sordid sex scandal that resulted in leadership upheaval.
"You would think that after their leadership scandals, which caused them to replace all their leaders last month, they would behave themselves for at least a little while," Dayton said.
Out of a job at the Senate, Anderson was immediately hired by Dayton as his senior energy adviser.
There is no word of yet about who Dayton might appoint as his new PUC chair. But, to please the Republican majority, he apparently faces the tall task of finding an energy expert who shares the belief that wind turbines are extreme, that continuing to pollute the environment with scarce supplies of coal and natural gas is the way forward for Minnesota. Good luck with that, Mr. Governor.
