Job Details
Building Doctors offers water filtration systems throughout the Los Angeles, CA metro region. Home water filtration systems are a great way to reduce your environmental impact by cutting back on the amount of bottled water your family consumes, while providing a steady supply of clean, purified drinking water. While the city of Los Angeles has made strides in recent years to improve the quality of its drinking water, the drinking water in Los Angeles and many other American cities has been found to contain potentially cancer-causing chemicals that can pose a long-term health risk to you and your family. A home water filtration limits your family's risk of exposure to these chemicals, while supplying additional benefits such as reduced risk of water pipe and fixture corrosion. Whether you're looking for a whole-house water filtration, or a basic kitchen tap water purification system, Building Doctors has you covered. We offer a wide range of home water filtration systems and are happy to work with our customers to determine the best option for you. We also test, and provide remediation services for, the following water contaminants:RadonArsenicNitratesLeadIronUraniumHard waterContact us today to learn more about our home water filtration systems, or to schedule an on-site visit today.

During the period under review the following activities took place;
After holding the project planning meeting, the current Project Officers embarked on making visits to the project sites so as to solicit community support for the project. The officers met with the administrative officers and church leaders so as to chart out way forward in implementing the project. The dates for meetings with stakeholders and the target communities were set.
A seminar for fifty girls who had been registered by the community mobilisers to participate, took off on the first week of May in Kilgoris. The Seminar looked into the dangers of Female Genital Mutilation and H.I.V &AIDS including early/child marriages,
Types of FGM
1) Sunna –This is the removal of the tip or the whole clitoris. Considered the safest method of Female Genital Mutilation
-Practiced by the Abagusii community.
2) Excision-The removal of the clitoris, labia minora and majora and parts of the perineum.
-Usually practiced by the Maasai and Kalenjin communities and most FGM practicing communities.
3) Infibulation- The removal of the clitoris, labia minora and majora and the perineum.
-This is the severest type of FGM. After the operation further stitching is done which allows space for menstruation and urine passage. Practiced by the Borana and Somali communities
Of the fifty girls who were registered thirty four graduated as the other sixteen were so young to understand what FGM is and were therefore encouraged to attend the subsequent sessions.
The participating girls said that most of their girlfriends opted to undergo FGM due to pressure from the society at large and also from those girls who have undergone FGM. They said that others were ridiculed and rebuked to be cowards just because they preferred not to undergo FGM.
A girl, "woman" who had gone through the cut narrated her real life story so she could give the girls a highlight of exact activities that took place in the circumcising exercise. She said she succumbed to it because of peer pressure and was also influenced by her mother. She further said that she agreed to it in order for her to fit in the society.
As we all know all work and no play makes Seneya a dull girl so the evening sessions were scheduled in such a way that they could socialize with one another and also watch videos. Most of the educative video-tapes they watched were on FGM, H.I.V/AIDS and child marriages. The girls were appreciative of the information learnt and the fact that most of them had not seen or known more on FGM and H.I.V/AIDS.
During the seminar, it was determined that Maasai girls and women in general were not considered worthy in society if they had not undergone Female Circumcision. We also found out that those who did not undergo FGM were highly ridiculed. Cherish Others Organisation Kenya is grateful to the Global Giving Community and particularly all the donors who sacrificed their resources in order to fund this Anti FGM campaign.

"President Obama: The Biggest Government Spender In World History"
Peter Ferrara, Contributor 6/14/2012 @ 3:42PM
"The U.S. has never before had a President who thinks so little of the American people that he imagines he can win re-election running on the opposite of reality. But that is the reality of President Obama today."
"Rest assured, Ms. Noonan, that the President is not as nuts as he may seem at times. He knows very well that he is not a careful spender. His whole mission is to transform the U.S. not into a Big Government country, but a Huge Government country, because only a country run by a Huge Government can be satisfactorily controlled by superior, all wise and beneficent individuals like himself. That is why he is at minimum a Swedish socialist, if not worse. Notice, though, how far behind the times he and his weak minded supporters are, as even the Swedes have abandoned Swedish socialism as a failure."

Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an inferno of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our childrens future. But it didnt happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s. Even hapless Herbert Hoover managed to increase spending more than Obama has.

That's a flat-out, bald-faced lie.
The numbers are undeniable. Federal spending under Obobo made a MASSIVE leap up from the historical norm of 18% of GDP to 25% of GDP in 2009, and has stayed there throughout his first term.
That is higher federal spending than any year since 1943, in the middle of WWII.
Obobo is the biggest spender in the history of the Republic. No other President even comes close.

still no mention of republican tax policies that created this mess.your method was tried and failed horribly.you purposely omit the fact that the economy was going off a cliff and obama had to spend to save it.also never any rebuttal to 8.5 trillion debt bush left.to just blow this off,as a mere drawback like you do is insane.again your policies were tried and failed.worst disaster since 29,and you treat it like it was nothing.what would you have had him do,continue lowering taxes for rich,and drive us into total financialk ruin.your real problem with obama is that he's not white,and has an african born father.the fact that white males no longer rule everything upsets your idea of an orderly world.id rather worship obama then romney and his prancing horses,or his bullying ways,or his ideas on how to transport a dog.just another silver spoon in mouth republican like your boy bushy.

Your COIN Is No Good Here
How "Counterinsurgency" Became a Dirty Word
The central theme of Obama's Wars, Bob Woodward's account of the Obama administration's Afghan policy debates, is the ongoing battle between Obama's military and civilian advisers. The military advisers -- Generals David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal, along with Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs -- believe that a counterinsurgency strategy, which helped reverse the deteriorating military situation in Iraq in 2007, could do the same in Afghanistan. The civilian advisers -- Vice President Joe Biden and other White House officials -- suggest that Vietnam is a more apt analogy for Afghanistan and a quagmire a likelier outcome if counterinsurgency strategy is applied there.
By definition, any military activity that seeks to counter an insurgency is counterinsurgency, or COIN as it is often labeled for short. All of Obama's advisers agree that the Taliban is an insurgency and that the United States has a real interest in stopping its return to power. Why, then, would Obama's civilian advisers argue against organized military activity designed to counter a Taliban takeover?
This is not a new argument. For more than a century, the U.S. military has been organized, trained, and equipped for conventional combat against similarly organized foes. The United States has gotten so good at this kind of warfare that in recent decades no conventional conflict has lasted more than a few weeks, and all have ended in overwhelming American victory. By contrast, over this same period, the U.S. military has had repeated difficulty securing its conquests, stabilizing societies

Hey Sencha developers. Stop being lazy and using !important
I've wasted a lot of time trying to work around the use of !important in your CSS files. I realize I can just go edit the CSS file, but I'm not sure if it will break anything. There really is no reason to use !important, so stop being lazy while debugging and find the cascade problem instead of just overriding it.

I don't consider myself a passive person. People probably perceive me to be a passive person, though. Unfortunately, a lot of the things that go on around me brush off my shoulder and I don't really care all too much about them, so I can definitely come across as someone who is easy to push around because I don't really care. Don't confuse my kindness to help combined with my indifference to do so as someone without a backbone, because I do call people out on whatever ****ery they're putting me through when I sense tom****ery and I'm not afraid to be blunt.

It's all over, Sheffield United have a dramatic late win and they will go to the League One Play-Off final!
United will look to wind the clock down from here, Porter heads for the corner but Stevenage get it back.
Lowton shoots with his left after cutting in from the right, but a Stevenage knee blocks the shot. Much better game now.
Quinn outraged at not getting a throw in. It's just not dropping for United at the moment despite their pressure.
Roberts blocks Porter but no booking - home fans boo that decision lustily. The defender knew what he was doing there.
Williamson finds Quinn but his left-footed shot from the edge of the box flies wide. The game is starting to open up nicely now.
Freeman wriggles in from the left, gets on to his right but shoots straight at Simonsen - his first serious save of the night.
Massed defence from Stevenage is frustrating United, then Williamson nips into the box but shoots a yard wide from close range!
Flynn shoots from inside the box but Wilson clears - the United player should have done better, he underhit that one.
Ben Trup also reckons we might be on for a late night - he says 2-1 to Stevenage after extra time. Keep your thoughts coming in - and let me know where in the world you are.
That's the break, 0-0. Both sides very nervous, and only that save from Day to deny Porter early on counts as a serious chance.
McDonald goes down and the game pauses - could be a hamstring problem, the physio is on. Only a few seconds to the break.
Williamson lashes the ball high and wide from 25 yards. At least he had a go, but Day was not troubled.
Agyemang slips just as he looks like he might get away; he's had little to go on since that chance in the first minute.
Bostwick and Flynn collide just outside the box, the United player goes down but no free kick given.
Day not threatened at the corner and United give away a free kick that the Stevenage keeper clears downfield.
The cameras have just shown United legend Tony Currie - what a good player he was, this game could do with a bit of his quality.
Roberts gives away a free kick as Porter hits the deck - the defender questions it, but there's no drama as United waste the opportunity with the ball going out for a throw in.
Fine one-handed save from Day to deny Porter, who nodded it to the keeper's left from eight yards away.
Stevenage can't make anything at the corner, but a lively start with tackles flying in as United try to break back.
There were 17 points between these two sides at the end of the league campaign, but that counts for nothing now. Teams are emerging, kick off is very close.
Tonight's odds are 8/11 for a United win, 7/2 on Stevenage and the draw is 11/4. A fair reflection on the narrow margin between these two. For more pop over to www.skybet.com.
From the Stevenage point of view, Adam Hartley says 'Keeping it level at half time 0-0 and then a late winning goal from Freeman and securing the final at Wembley. Fingers crossed.' Keep your views coming to firstname.lastname@example.com
Joe Angell predicts a 4-1 win for the home side and says: 'Stevenage play good football but Sheffield Utd are too powerful for them.'
Dave 'Lord' Heath, a Blade, says: 'I'm going to say 2-0 for the Blades. May the best team win.' Very fair-minded!
Blades keeper Steve Simonsen is fairly confident they can finish the job on home turf: 'When we're at home we feel as though it's up to us to take the initiative and we've done that all season long. We will be playing no differently to how we have all season long at home.'
Friday night's first leg was a tight, tense, goalless affair with Stevenage closest to scoring when Reid rattled the woodwork. Could we be in for penalties tonight?
I'm Tim Oscroft and I'll be providing regular live updates from tonight's game at Bramall Lane. Email me at email@example.com - what do you think of the team selections? Let me know and I'll post the best comments before kick off at 7.45pm.
Sheffield United: Simonsen, Lowton, Maguire, Collins, Hill,Williamson, McDonald, Doyle, Flynn, Quinn, Porter.
Stevenage: Day, Lascelles, Ashton, Roberts, Laird, Wilson,Byrom, Bostwick, Freeman, Shroot, Agyemang.

It was impossible to imagine that a movie year as superb as 2013 would turn into such an unholy mess of an Oscar race. But so it has. And maybe, in retrospect, that's a competitive inevitability for such a strong movie year.
But all that wretchedness in the nomination process and ugliness afterward may yet result in a moment as dramatic as most of us have seen in recent Academy Awards.
The show begins at 7 p.m. tonight on Channel 7 with the red carpet fashion inanities at 5:30 p.m. on the E! Network.
When the Best Actress Oscar is given out near evening's end, it is actually remotely possible that the most extraordinary performance, by far, of the movie year – Cate Blanchett's in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine" – could go unrecognized. The reason is the renewal of Dylan Farrow's charges of vile sexual assault against Allen when she was a child in an open letter reprinted in the New York Times courtesy of Farrow family friend Nicholas Kristof. What Farrow said in that letter was a kind of moral extortion of the entire American film-making community: honoring Allen and his employees is tantamount to disbelieving her and, in effect, abusing her again in a different way.
In a case where there is, at the moment, no clear way to assay the truth of what happened, it almost seemed a kind of direct assault on the professional majesty of a great actress who doesn't deserve it – one who until the roiling of some very black and treacherous waters was considered a shoo-in.
But then the superabundance of fine movies in this movie year resulted in a wretched bunch of nominations right from the beginning. Tough competition has left a very ugly wake indeed. Left out of the Best Picture nominations entirely were two of the year's greatest movies by far – J.C. Chandor's "All is Lost" and the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis" – as well as a small independent movie no one would have questioned in the top 10, "The Fruitvale Station."
Left off the Best Actor final five were – astonishingly – Tom Hanks, whose final minutes in "Captain Phillips" were as arresting, in their way, as Blanchett's entire performance, and Robert Redford in "All is Lost." Add to them among the unloved were Oscar Isaac for his sublimely subtle performance as folk singer Llewyn Davis and Joaquin Phoenix as the lovesick computer owner in "Her."
Because the foreign film Oscar nomination process continues to be methodological horror – countries nominate candidates, not a blue ribbon panel of film judges and critics – France was allowed to steer as clear as possible away from the two-and-a-half hour "lesbian sex movie" called "Blue Is the Warmest Color" despite the fact that it is, by far, the most moving film about young love, sexual awakening and the onset of emotional maturity that we've seen in many years (In that way, in fact, it was the sensitive early life equivalent of Michael Haneke's devastating end-of-life Oscar winner "Amour" last year.)
Here, then, is one man's 41st annual Oscar tip sheet. This one will be worth staying through to the end even if it's a bitter end indeed (which is sadly possible.) Not only is Ellen DeGeneres likely to be a terrific host, but the top three awards – especially Best Actress – are fraught with drama.
Best Picture
The nominees are: "12 Years a Slave," "American Hustle," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyer's Club," "Gravity," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
How could they have shoehorned in "All is Lost" and "Inside Llewyn Davis"? Easy, by my lights. "Dallas Buyer's Club" is a performer's movie, not an all-around triumph. "Philomena" was an audience favorite, particularly with women, but most of that audience's love is, similarly, for its star Judi Dench. Its loss from a field of 10 wouldn't have been tragic. Nor, frankly, would the elimination of "The Wolf of Wall Street," Scorsese be damned. It's another film in which almost all of what makes it any good at all is the result of its lead performance, in this case by Leonardo DiCaprio.
As it is, it's one of the tightest races in years to call. And frankly, I'm a happy camper, no matter how it's likely to turn out, with one exception: I'd like to see David O. Russell's "American Hustle" win for its aphoristic script, terrific performances and also its least discussed feature, which is its essential plot question: Who watches the watchers? In a society that admires righteous investigation so much, what happens when the investigators themselves are more corrupt and inhuman than the reprobates being investigated?
If, on the other hand, "12 Years a Slave" wins, I'll be thrilled that after so much atrocious American cinema about race – even in such cinematic landmarks as "Birth of a Nation" and "Gone With the Wind" – Oscar reparations to Black America have finally been made.
On the other hand, a best picture Oscar to "Gravity" would be the most gutless and mediocre compromise Oscar since "The Sting" won in 1973. The first half hour of "Gravity" is mind-bending, groundbreaking American cinema. After that the movie gets progressively smaller – an interesting cinematic structure but not a whole film worthy of a best picture Oscar.
My choice: "American Hustle."
The likely Oscar: "12 Years a Slave."
The Travesty Oscar: "Gravity."
Best Actor
The nominees: Christian Bale for "American Hustle," Bruce Dern for "Nebraska," Leonardo DiCaprio for "The Wolf of Wall Street," Chiwitel Ejiofor for "12 Years a Slave," and Matthew McConaughey for "Dallas Buyer's Club."
"All is Lost" had one of the worst marketing campaigns of modern times. Assume that it hadn't, though. How would you get Redford on THAT list of five? And Tom Hanks for "Captain Phillips"? Not easy but possible, I say. Just the sight of Bruce Dern again was wonderful, but his "old coot" performance isn't that unusual. And if you remember that Christian Bale has already won an Oscar, you could have made room for both Redford and Hanks.
The likely winner will be McConaughey, who not only has won so much already but has been receiving the best possible advance publicity weekly for his magnificent weekly performance in HBO's "True Detective."
My choice: The un-nominated Tom Hanks or perhaps the nominated Ejiofor.
The Likely Oscar: To McConaughey, as an AIDS victim. Who, in Hollywood, doesn't know someone who died of AIDS?
The Travesty: None. Dern doesn't have a chance to win.
Best Actress
The nominees: Amy Adams for "American Hustle," Cate Blanchett for "Blue Jasmine," Sandra Bullock for "Gravity," Judi Dench for "Philomena," and Meryl Streep for "August: Osage County."
The most dramatic award in years. All the ugliness dredged up to mitigate Blanchett's classic performance probably won't affect the Academy's intuition that if past life wretchedness held final sway, at least half the Oscars ever awarded (not to mention Nobel Prizes) would probably have to be given back. Great artists are not, ipso facto, great people.
Blanchett, though, is probably both. Certainly, hers was THE great performance of 2013. The best guess is that she will pay brief but eloquent and graceful tribute to Woody Allen's writing skill and leave it at that.
My choice and the likely Oscar: Blanchett.
The Travesty Oscar: Anyone else. All over America many things will be hurled at TV screens if it happens.
Best Director
Nominations: Steve McQueen for "12 Years a Slave," David O. Russell for "American Hustle," Alfonso Cuaron, "Gravity," Alexander Payne, "Nebraska," and Martin Scorsese for "The Wolf of Wall Street."
The award season champ thus far has been a perfect compromise – an Oscar for Cuaron for those astounding opening 30 minutes of "Gravity." It's a good way to give the movie something without being pusillanimous and ridiculous.
My choice: Russell for "American Hustle."
The Likely Oscar: Cuaron.
The Travesty: Payne or Scorsese.
Best Supporting Actress
The nominees: Sally Hawkins for "Blue Jasmine," Jennifer Lawrence for "American Hustle," Lupita Nyong'o for "12 Years a Slave," Julia Roberts for "August: Osage County," and June Squibb for "Nebraska."
My choice: Roberts. Yes, Roberts. She was, by far, the best thing in that movie. It's nice of her to make a movie every now and then to remind us how good an actress she is.
The likely Oscar: To Nyong'o, a fine choice nevertheless and everyone's favorite this award season for both good and bad reasons. She is, nevertheless, superb in the film and very promising for the future.
The Travesty Oscar: Squibb.
Best Supporting Actor
The nominees: Barkhad Abdi, "Captain Phillips," Bradley Cooper, "American Hustle," Michael Fassbender, "12 Years a Slave," Jonah Hill, "The Wolf of Wall Street," and Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyer's Club."
My choice: Cooper. Both he and Fassbender were terrific in their films, something not all that recognized in the hype.
The likely Oscar: Jared Leto for "Dallas Buyer's Club," a good and deserving prize nevertheless. The self-evident commitment of the film's major actors was singular.
The Travesty: Hill. It would prove that money can buy anything.
Original screenplay
The Nominees: "American Hustle," "Blue Jasmine," "Dallas Buyer's Club," "Her" and "Nebraska."
"Her" is so imaginative that it has done well in award season from people who desperately wanted to give the film something. This will be it. I'd give it to "American Hustle." Thank heaven, Woody Allen was never really a contender for this, as good as "Blue Jasmine" is. That's one awkwardness averted tonight.
Adapted screenplay
"12 Years a Slave," "Before Midnight," "Captain Phillips," "Philomena," and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
John Ridley for "12 Years a Slave" will be a popular prize. It's not impossible that a late surge could sneak in Billy Ray for the under-nominated "Captain Phillips." Not likely though.
Film editing
Expect most of the technical and artisanship awards to go to "Gravity" including this one, as well as Emmanuel Lubezki for cinematography. I'd have been happy to split the cinematography prize between three of its nominees, Lubezki, Phedon Papamichael for "Nebraska," and Bruno Delbonel for "Inside Llewyn Davis." Truly great work was done by cinematographers this year.
Production design
"The Great Gatsby" was a production designer's orgy, enough to make pros, for a second, forget "12 Years a Slave," and "Her." Among those three, though there would be no bad winner.
Visual effects
Surely you jest. No one else has a chance over "Gravity," which will win the Sound editing awards too.
Original score
A surprisingly weak field. "Gravity" won't make anyone mad. If, on the other hand, Alexandre Desplat wins for "Philomena," it will remind a lot of people that his score for "The Monuments Men" was the worst many of us have heard in many years.
Best foreign film
My choice: The un-nominated "Blue is the Warmest Color" or the equally un-nominated "The Past."
The Oscar in this field: Probably "The Great Beauty" from Italy.
Feature length documentary
It's between "The Art of Killing" and "20 Feet from Stardom." How can they resist "20 Feet from Stardom"? If ever an Oscar show needed a feel-good award, this one is it.
Original song
The smart money seems to be on the song from "Frozen." But it seems to me that the combination of U2 and Nelson Mandela on "Ordinary Love" should be more than enough to whip anything that Disney Studios whipped up for "Frozen," even with its avalanche of box office.

Hey folks….
If you ever want to change your user name for one reason or another - it takes place immediately and all your old posts now have your new name. This is not so good if you are changing your name for privacy reasons.
It also has your old avatar and siggy.
I thought it would be a brand new account - doh
My advise: go offline for a few days/weeks, change your name and remember to change your siggy and avatar.
I guess I will have to do it again in a few week. Learn from me and save yourself a few bucks.
formerly kathymuggle
Regardless, the thing about changing your sn is that when your old posts have been quoted, your name change doesnt appear in the quote. For example, I figured out this was you because of a thread I was reading and then someone quoted you as Kathymuggle, but kathymuggle had not posted anything. I've thought about doing it numerous times, and just didnt for that very reason.

I actually did have my account closed and then decided to restart (yeah, yeah - but it is what I felt I needed to do at the time). I kept my old user name.
It is kind of odd being treated like a new user - random posts seem to be held for moderation (2 have been held for over 24 hours now and neither have anything questionable in them). I think there might be a limit - like if I hit 5 posts or something per day, posts are held.
Whenever I post at the moment it is a bit of a gamble - will it go through? I don't mind though. I can spend too much time online, and this "threads being held for moderation" is helping to curb me of my MDC addiction.
There is a battle of two wolves inside us. One is good and the other is evil. The wolf that wins is the one you feed.

Copyrights on Foreign Works Upheld by U.S. Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law that gave copyright protection to millions of foreign-produced books, movies and musical pieces and may undermine Google Inc.'s effort to create an online library.
Today's 6-2 ruling backs a law that took works by Alfred Hitchcock, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky and J.R.R. Tolkien out of the public domain, barring use without permission of the copyright owner. The decision is a victory for the film and music industries and a setback for Google, which had said it would lose access to many of the 15 million books it wants to make available online.
The court rejected arguments from orchestra conductors, educators, performers, film archivists and movie distributors. They argued that the 1994 law violates the constitutional provision that lets Congress set up a copyright system, as well as the Constitution's free-speech guarantee.
"We have no warrant to reject the rational judgment Congress made," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority. Justices Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito dissented, and Justice Elena Kagan didn't take part in the case.
The statute aimed to harmonize U.S. copyright law with rules in other countries. The measure applied to works that had been excluded from the American copyright system for various reasons, in some cases because the U.S. didn't have copyright relations with the author's home country and in other cases because the U.S. hadn't yet recognized copyrights on sound recordings.
Picasso and Stravinsky
The law gave rights-holders the copyright protection they otherwise would have had. Affected works include Tolkien's "The Hobbit," hundreds of Picasso paintings, several Hitchcock films and the music of Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich and other Russian composers.
Congress approved the law to meet obligations stemming from the so-called Uruguay Round of international trade talks. The motion-picture and music industries pushed for the provision to secure reciprocal copyright protection for American works abroad.
Ginsburg said that was a legitimate goal under the Constitution's copyright clause, which she said lets Congress focus on encouraging the distribution of existing works, as well as the creation of new ones.
"Congress determined that U.S. interests were best served by our full participation in the dominant system of international copyright protection," Ginsburg wrote. The Obama administration defended the law.
No New Works
In dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer said the law would limit the dissemination of works without creating any incentives for new ones.
The law "does not encourage anyone to produce a single new work," Breyer wrote. "By definition, it bestows monetary rewards only on owners of old works -- works that have already been created and already are in the American public domain."
Breyer said that copyright owners often would be difficult or impossible to track down, particularly in cases involving older and more obscure works that have minimal commercial value.
"How is a university, a film collector, a musician, a database compiler or a scholar now to obtain permission to use any such lesser known foreign work previously in the American public domain?" he wrote.
Copyright Power
Even if would-be users can track down the copyright owners, they may face other obstacles, said Anthony Falzone, the lawyer who represented the challengers to the law.
"It's not always just a matter of writing a check," Falzone said. "Copyright owners can say, 'No, we don't want you to do that. Forget about price -- we don't want you to do it.'"
Ginsburg said those issues were "hardly peculiar" to works affected by the 1994 law. "It similarly afflicts, for instance, U.S. libraries that attempt to catalogue U.S. books," she wrote.
Supporters of the law said the impact will be less than opponents claim. The measure lets people who were using works before enactment of the law continue to do so until notified that a copyright owner intends to enforce.
'Low-Cost Accommodation'
The law also says that people who've created "derivative works" -- those based on works that now have copyright protection -- can continue to use their creations as long as they pay "reasonable compensation."
"For certain types of uses, there are provisions built in that create incentives for the parties to reach a low-cost accommodation for use," said Eric J. Schwartz, a Washington lawyer who helped draft the law as an attorney at the U.S. Copyright Office.
A Google spokesman, Jim Prosser, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment. In court papers, Google said the law might affect as many as a million books the company has already scanned as part of its book project.
The Motion Picture Association of America, which represents the film industry, praised the ruling.
The ruling "demonstrates that the United States fulfills its international copyright obligations and will remain a world leader in protecting creative works, thereby helping foster their continued creation and dissemination," Fritz Attaway, the group's executive vice president, said in a statement.
The case is Golan v. Holder, 10-545.

Musician Gives Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' a Metal Makeover [Video]
Supposedly, there's a "controversy" over Madonna's recent photo shoot and interview with some magazine called "Interview". Wow, nice name. I'm guessing they do...um...video game walkthroughs?
Anyway, Madonna did her interview and then posed for a gallery they posted. People are apparently weirded out by the fact that she shows a lot of boob. Hello? It's freaking Madonna! That's what she's always done!

I am living in a dream when I wake.
You are my bright shining star you guide the way . . .
Wake. The evocative one-word title speaks volumes about what's happening on Nora Jane Struthers' latest album. For the thirty-year old singer-songwriter, it's "wake" in several senses of the word. There's the trail of a life and career behind her, the slipstream of lessons learned. There's the quiet observance and letting go of who she has been up until now as both an artist and a person. And most of all, there's the stirring of something new, an opening of a door and wide-eyed rush forward into a place of discovery and dizzying possibilities. And it's all set to a soundtrack that resonates with the warm uplift of the first day of spring.
In short, Nora Jane Struthers has fallen in love.
"The whole album is about strength through vulnerability," she says. "That's what I've come to as an artist, and a human being, and I think it's the most powerful force in my life. I feel so much more like my childhood self now than I did over the past five years, than I have in my whole adult life. In my twenties, I had a tendency to compartmentalize pieces of my musical identity. For instance, how could I reconcile my love of both bluegrass and Pearl Jam? I did the same thing in my personal life, where I had this sort of idea of who I wanted to be, and ignored all these other pieces of myself, because I didn't think they fit into some imagined big picture.
"But this experience of falling in love blew that whole thing apart," she continues. "Looking back, my previous two albums feel so safe. They had literary merit, contributing to the traditional canon in a way that I was proud of. But it all felt masked by these narratives that were not directly my own. These new songs are autobiographical. I'm looking inward, allowing that to be what my art is. To take away the narrative safety net and then the sonic safety net and just give myself over to my own story and my own feelings, was scary but exhilarating."
That exhilaration courses through the whole album, with an unmoored feeling that reminds us that the gravitational direction of finding love is as much about rising as it is falling. Opener "The Same Road" percolates along with percussive banjo and side-stick then lifts into a panoramic chorus, while "Dreamin,'" soaked in classic Bakersfield good vibes, threads its infectious charm through with chugging train rhythms, twangy guitar and pedal steel. "When I Wake" is pure harmony bliss, with Struthers and Joe Overton echoing early '70s Gram & Emmylou. "The Wire" shimmers with poetic reflection ("The truth is I didn't see the wire until I saw the bird") and the radio-ready "Lovin' You" pulls off the three-and-a-half minute miracle, with Struthers' warm, engaging alto finding fresh imagery like, "If I was a crocus lovin' you would be the spring / If I was an eagle lovin' you would be my wings . ." Other highlights include the fiery slide-guitar powered "I Ain't Holdin' Back," the call-and-response, southern-fried "Don't Care" and the hushed, split-rail tenderness of "The South." The whole record, a 53-minute celebration of that heart-to-heart, flesh-to-flesh connection that reminds us we're alive, also feels like a major artistic arrival.
Struthers' ascent to this new plateau has been a steady one. Born in Virginia and raised in New Jersey, she began playing as a pre-teen. attending festivals and fiddlers' conventions around the south with her banjo-playing father. "These were pretty much just a group of musicians camping in a muddy field for a week, playing tunes and singing songs," she recalls. "But these traditional music communities greatly influenced me and informed my decision later to move to Nashville and try to become a professional musician." After graduating from NYU with an education degree, she taught high school English in Brooklyn and put her music career on the back burner. But a visit to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the early 2000s changed that. Watching one of her heroes, Tim O'Brien, she stood in front of the stage, glanced back at the crowd and the mountains and thought, "This is what I want to do." There followed that move to Nashville, much woodshedding as a writer and touring, with Bearfoot, and her first solo-fronted group, the Bootleggers (who won the 2008 Telluride band competition). Along the way, she worked with bluegrass stars like O'Brien, Stuart Duncan and Bryan Sutton, and released two critically-acclaimed albums. But it was in 2012, when Struthers formed the Party Line, that everything started to come into sharper focus.
She says, "With the Party Line, I found the people I want to be with. And what instruments they play are what my band became. So I didn't find a fiddle player. I found a great electric guitar player who I love hanging around with, and who wants to commit to my music. What I love about our instrumentation is the balance between rock 'n' roll vibe and old time acoustic feeling. Those two specifically are the balance between my guitarist Josh Vana and Joe Overton. Josh plays with more of a rock feeling. Joe runs what I call the roots utility. He plays open backed banjo, resonator banjo, fiddle and pedal steel guitar. It's a really interesting balance between roots and rock. I don't know a lot of other female-fronted bands that are doing quite what we're doing, so I feel like maybe we have something unique, which is always a good thing."
Having the right band also led Struthers to realize that she wanted to change her approach to record-making. "My last album Carnival took a step away from certain aspects of the digital, highly-produced approach. There's no auto-tuning. I made it with the band, not session players. But the songs weren't road-tested, so we put the arrangements together in the studio. After touring that record and seeing how the songs evolved as a result of playing them for audiences, I just knew that I wanted to make the next record afte

I'm using TwentyTwelve Child Theme and making a few customisations but am struggling with a few things:
1. How do I remove this text from under the comments box:
You may use these HTML tags and attributes:   <acronym title="">

   <q cite="">

2. On the main sidebar, between the Title and the actual widget, there is a big empty space i.e. Search and then a massive space, then the field to enter a search into. Is there a way to remove this space?
3. I'm currently using custom CSS to remove all the 'posted on XX in XX tagged with XX' section, however I'd really like to be able to have the date positioned separately, and to only show which categories the post is in...without listing all the tags etc too. Is this possible?

A New Algorithm for Vocal Tract Shape Extraction from Singer's Waveforms
This paper presents a new algorithm for extracting vocal tract shape from speech or singing. Based on acoustic sensitivity functions it removes the ambiguity that conventional methods suffer from. We describe acoustic sensitivity functions and how we extract the necessary formant frequencies from the acoustic waveform. Results are presented for a variety of singers both male and female singing a variety of vowels and notes. The results are good and the system not only has applications in voice training but could also be used for control of games or music synthesis.

Treasuries Drop for First Time in 3 Days as Safety Demand Fades
Treasuries declined for the first time in three days as refuge demand waned on speculation a Russian proposal for Syria to put its chemical weapons under international control will avert a U.S. military strike.
Notes fell even after an auction of $31 billion in three-year debt drew a lower-than-forecast yield. Ten-year yields approached 3 percent after reaching that level last week for the first time since 2011 amid bets the Federal Reserve will trim its $85 billion-a-month in asset purchases at a meeting next week. Verizon Communications Inc. prepared to issue as much as $50 billion of debt to take full control of its wireless unit.
"We've seen a lot of response to the headlines today that has caused very choppy trading," said Aaron Kohli, an interest-rate strategist at BNP Paribas SA in New York, one of 21 primary dealers obligated to bid at Treasury auctions. "We are in the midst of trying to find a new range for rates. We should see higher yields, but at a slow pace."
Ten-year yields climbed five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 2.96 percent at 5 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data, and reached 2.97 percent. They closed yesterday at 2.91 percent. They touched
3.005 percent Sept. 6, the highest since July 2011. The price of the 2.5 percent note due in August 2023 dropped 14/32, or $4.38 per $1,000 face amount, to 96 1/32.
Yields on current three-year notes rose four basis points to 0.89 percent after touching 0.98 percent on Sept. 6, the highest level since May 2011. They averaged 0.45 percent over the past year.
Volume Rises
Treasury trading volume at ICAP Plc, the largest inter-dealer broker of U.S. government debt, increased 43 percent to $349 billion. The figure is down from a 2013 high of $662 billion on May 22 and up from a low of $148 billion on Aug. 9. The 2013 average is $315 billion.
Thirty-year bond yields increased four basis points to 3.89 percent and touched 3.9 percent. They briefly declined one basis point to 3.84 percent.
The long-bond yields may have fallen as dealers sold more of the securities than necessary to lock in protection from interest-rate volatility as Verizon prepared to sell bonds, leading to an unwind of some of the Treasury sales, said Thomas Roth, senior Treasury trader in New York at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA Inc.
Verizon, which controls the largest U.S. wireless carrier, is planning an eight-part, dollar-denominated initial offering this week that may exceed Apple Inc.'s record $17 billion sale in April, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The debt is for a $130 billion transaction to acquire full control of Verizon Wireless, the most profitable U.S. mobile carrier, from Vodafone Group Plc.
Factors Combining
"The Syrian concerns have receded and the market is back to focusing on tapering and dealing with the added duration issues from the Verizon deal, all of which are combining to give us somewhat higher yields," said Scott Graham, Chicago-based head of government-bond trading at Bank of Montreal's BMO Capital Markets unit, a primary dealer. "The three-year note auction benefited from the steep selloff and higher yields we've seen in that sector."
The notes sold at today's auction yielded 0.913 percent, compared with a forecast of 0.920 percent in a Bloomberg News survey of six primary dealers. The yield was the highest in a three-year debt sale since May 2011. The Treasury cut the size of today's offering from $32 billion, which had been the monthly auction amount since October 2010.
Auction Participation
The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount of debt offered, was 3.29, versus
3.21 at the August sale and an average ratio of 3.36 at the past 10 offerings.
Indirect bidders, an investor class that includes foreign central banks, purchased 33.1 percent of the notes sold today, compared with an average of 27.4 percent for the past 10 sales.
Direct bidders, non-primary-dealer investors that place their bids directly with the Treasury, bought 20 percent of the notes, the most since March. The average at the past 10 auctions was 19 percent.
Investors bid $2.88 for each dollar of the $1.474 trillion in U.S. government notes and bonds sold at auction this year, according to Treasury data compiled by Bloomberg. That's down from the record $3.15 for the $2.153 trillion sold at last year's offerings.
The U.S. is scheduled to sell $21 billion in 10-year notes tomorrow and $13 billion of 30-year bonds on Sept. 12.
Treasuries fell earlier on the proposal to avoid U.S. military action in Syria. Russia urged the Middle East nation to turn over its arsenal of chemical weapons to international control. The plan offers a possible diplomatic solution after an Aug. 21 chemical attack the U.S. and allies say was carried out by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
High Volatility
Volatility in Treasuries as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch MOVE index was 101.81 today, the seventh consecutive day above 100, the longest stretch since November
2011. It touched a two-month high of 114.19 on Sept. 5. The average over the past year is 67.71.
Bonds gained yesterday on speculation that Sept. 6 data showing lower-than-forecast job growth may prompt the Fed to be less aggressive in curbing stimulus this month.
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his colleagues will decide at their Sept. 17-18 meeting to reduce purchases of Treasuries to $35 billion from $45 billion while maintaining mortgage-bond buying at $40 billion, according to the median of 34 responses in a Bloomberg News survey of economists on Sept. 6. Policy makers are discussing whether the U.S. economy has improved enough to start reducing the purchases.
Demand for safety also waned today as data showed China's industrial output grew at the fastest pace in 17 months. It rose
10.4 percent in August from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said in a statement in Beijing today.

Cars.com launched its new, comprehensive rebate and incentives page earlier this month, but just having the raw figures isn't always enough. Often there are some real gems getting a significant amount of money off that aren't heavily advertised or thought about. This time out we've found some interesting deals on a pair of luxury nameplates, a brand-new model and a fuel-sipping compact.
2009 Dodge Journey
Cash back: $1,000
Percent off MSRP: 5.2%
Expires: 4/30
5-Year Ownership Costs
The new Dodge Journey was just released, and Dodge is hoping that by offering a small incentive, $1,000, folks will be more inclined to give it a shot. That's because the Journey competes with the popular Ford Edge and Hyundai Santa Fe when equipped with two rows of seats, or the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when equipped with the optional third row. Still, the Journey's starting MSRP is significantly less than the competition, even before the $1,000 cash back.
With fuel prices at record highs, everyone is rethinking the economy car. The Elantra is one of our favorites in the class when it comes to pure utility, point-to-point transportation. It's not the most exciting to drive, but it comes well-equipped and has a much improved interior and exterior look. $1,500 is a huge amount of money to be taking off an economy car in today's climate. Thrifty shoppers should definitely take advantage.
One thing I noticed when I reviewed the new S80 was that it cost almost $10,000 less than comparably equipped BMW and Mercedes-Benz models. There are three available power plants, all getting the same discount. I prefer the mid-range turbocharged six-cylinder, which takes some of the sedate-ness out of the S80's overall personality. Still, the level of luxury inside is far above the sticker price. $3,250 is a significant discount on top of that.
*Incentives prices listed here are for national incentives. There may be more incentives available in your area. Check Cars.com's new incentives page for more information and other offers.

text: Your child, like every child, is one of a kind — and in the same way his eyes are blue or his laugh is peppered with cute little hiccups, his physical and cognitive development will unfold at its own pace. That's why comparing two toddlers the same age isn't helpful. One may be zooming around the playground while the other is busy building up verbal skills — or one may be totally consistent in reaching milestones while the other develops in fits and starts. Unless your toddler seems to be really lagging in a particular area, and his doctor is concerned, rest assured that your little one will hit these one-year-old milestones in his own good time.

I'm trying to test for and grab user edited thumbnails but only if they are user edited. I have a set "add_image_size" parameter in my functions file that I'd want to use for some images that don't get cropped funky by the automatic job that WordPress does upon upload.
Is there a way to test if an image has been custom cropped, scaled or edited in any way and then use that image or am I stuck just grabbing the default thumbnail no matter what and having it show the user edited image if it finds that?
EDITED: To clarify a bit further, I know I can just use the 'thumbnail' size and that will automatically get either the user edited thumbnail or the default one that WordPress creates. The issue is that it limits the amount of different thumbnail sizes one can use on the site. So maybe the real question is:
Is there a way to add another radio button option to the Image Editor to apply it to registered custom sizes?

Marseille Figs is an experimental pop band from London. Their music is an aggregate of honky tonk, free jazz, American folk music, psychedelic music, pop and punk. Their membership includes or has included members of Cinematic Orchestra, the Eddie Prévost Trio, and the Pogues.
Their line-up consists of Tom Chant (saxophones, bass clarinet, keyboards), songwriter J. Maizlish Mole (guitars, ukuleles and vocals), and Dorian McFarland (accordions, mouth harps, flugelhorn, trombone and vocals). Between October 1999 and June 2003, they were joined by Darryl Hunt (bass guitar, electric guitar, vocals and percussion).
Marseille Figs were formed in early 1999, while Maizlish and McFarland were studying together under Stuart Brisley at the Slade School of Art in London. Through mutual friend, Marcia Farquhar, they met saxophonist Tom Chant, who had been performing in various improvised music ensembles centred on the London Musicians Collective. Before their first public performance they drafted in the Pogues' bassist Darryl Hunt, who filled out their line-up for the ensuing two and a half years. Beginning in 2000, the Figs have been based in separate cities, with Maizlish moving to New York City at the end of 1999 and Berlin in 2002.
The son of Scratch Orchestra composers Michael Chant and Carole Finer, Chant is a ubiquitous figure in the UK avant and improvised music community, and also performs with the Cinematic Orchestra, the Eddie Prévost Trio, and numerous other small and large ensembles. Maizlish and McFarland are both practicing visual artists, with Maizlish contributing the majority of the band's graphic material.
They self-released two limited edition CDs: Resonance FM 9 September 2002 and Boum Boum Constant (New Demos &c. 2005). Their first official release, The Dirty Canon, was produced by Jem Finer, DM Bob and Brian O'Shaughnessy, and released on their label Figs of London in 2007, through Cargo Records. The 5-track Jumbo/The Long Goodbye EP followed in 2009, becoming John Kennedy's Record of the week on XFM London in October 2009.
Marseille Figs supported the Pogues on their American east coast tour dates in 2008 and 2009, and on their Christmas 2009 U.K. tour. They have not toured or performed live since 2010, with their members pursuing other projects.
