From Our Editors
The chefs at Taki Japanese Restaurant roll more than 30 varieties of sushi and sashimi with eclectic and traditional ingredients ranging from sweet egg and salmon roe to sea urchin and yellowtail. Not satisfied with forcing their ingredients to do the heavy lifting, they also focus on aesthetics, arranging rolls in colorful tableaus on long porcelain plates or in mock naval battles on sushi boats. At lunch and dinner, they also fill the restaurant with aromas of Japanese cooking. As faces glow with light from sleek wall sconces amidst a warm yellow color scheme, tables fill with ginger pork, and wa-fu oroshi-style steak, and adventurous fusion dishes such as Japanese-style carpaccio.

REACT volunteers assisted with our annual dog event, Bark at the Park in Lancaster, CA. This is a large event where the public is invited to bring their dogs to a festival of sorts. There are many activities for them to participate in, involving their dogs. The event hosts 7000+ people. Safety is a top concern for us and REACT helped us tremendously. They manned the front entrance, handed out festival information, checked for appropriate leashes, watched for dogs that might be a problem and answered questions. They also ran our Silent Auction booth which raises money for our local animal shelter. This organization is phenomenal. They were punctual, well organized, and professional. They did everything we asked, with a smile. They also helped with cleanup. They were a definite asset to our event, making our jobs SO much easier. We look forward to their assistance at our event this year.

"As extinction spreads, some of the lost forms prove to be keystone species, whose disappearance brings down other species and triggers a ripple effect through the demographics of the survivors. The loss of a keystone species is like a drill accidentally striking a power line. It causes lights to go out all over." – Edward O. Wilson, The Diversity of Life
Currently, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is devastating bees and keepers all over the globe. Although research is being conducted, the exact cause of CCD is unknown. Possible contributing factors include:
- Use of pesticides and insecticides, which can especially affect migratory bees that are exposed to a variety of pesticides as their beekeepers bring them around the country to pollinate different crops. The pesticides being scrutinized most severely are the types applied to the soil and taken up into the plants' tissues, including pollen and nectar. The effects of these particular pesticides are consistent with the symptoms of CCD: immune system failure and disorientation. One of the suspect pesticides, Imidacloprid, has already been banned in France due to its effect on honeybees.
- Climate change, which wreaks havoc on sensitive weather cycles and affects growing cycles of flowers
- Malnutrition due to extreme weather circumstances, which may be attributed to climate change
- Immunodeficiencies caused by mites, bacterial, fungal, or viral pathogens
- Varroa Destructor Mite, which was most likely brought into the U.S. by smuggled bees
- Genetically Modified Crops which may weaken adult bee's immune defenses
- Ozone and pollution which reduce flowers' aroma
- Lack of genetic biodiversity due to beekeepers obtaining their queens from breeders

I have a couple of Core Data entities... Student and Exam.
Now, the Exams is initially just one object per exam - Maths Exam 3, English Exam 2 etc.
There is a relationship between Students and Exams in my data model (a student can have several exams). But initially, the Exams are just floating free, and not attached to any students.
How would I make a copy of one of the exams and attach it to a student?
If I do something like:
[student addExamsObject:examObject];
...then I think it simply references the original exam to the student, rather than making a copy.
I need a copy because the Exam has a boolean 'hasTaken', which is YES when the student has taken the exam. But if I set that now, it will make it seem like all the students with that exam have taken it.
Clarification: I would rather not restructure my model. The data is taken from a couple of xml files, one each for Students and Exams, which are parsed into the Core Data store. For instance, an Exam object might look like this:
name:Maths 5
..with a Student object looking like
name: Dave
Various rules are meant to guide which exams get attached to which students... for instance if all the Exam's ids are 0 then all students take the exam. If class-id and year-id match, and student-id is 0, then the Exam gets added to students with the same class and year. If the student-ids match, then just that student takes the Exam. etc etc. I cannot change the way the xml is outputted from the server.
Another issue is that Exam has too-many relationship to a Question entity... in other words, the questions in the Exam. And I have to store answers to the questions that each student gives in an exam.
Edit: I wish people would try to answer my question rather than tell me to restructure my whole program. There are reasons why the data model has been structured like it is.
Edit2: Maybe I will have restructure....

I saw that Socialize recently added Pinterest to the button options, so I immediately updated and added the button to my Inline buttons and Call-To-Action box. However, I cannot get the new set of buttons to show up on my old posts without editing them one-by-one. With over 1,000 posts, this is not feasible.
I tried deactivating the plugin and then reactivating and that did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

One of the coolest remixes I've ever heard!

And BANG!
If they ever remake Ice Cap Zone, I want this in it. Picture it. Sonic stands atop the mountain staring down nostalgically with a snowboard beside him. He smirks and then takes off down the mountain. Oh man that'd rock.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Much improved over your old one
I like how it builds up from a quiet beginning to an energy-filled song. You had much more variation and more instruments than before, which makes this so much better than the original version. And it's longer too. Excellent Job.

What is MoparStyle Racing?
MoparStyle racing is the father/son drag racing team of Dave and Dallas Schultz.
They race on a National circuit in an Index Class called Nostalgia Super Stock, which is the spirit of Super Stock racing in the early 60s, but with faster cars. Dave drives a 1960 Plymouth 2-door wagon by the name of The Texas Whale, and his son Dallas runs a 1965 Dodge Coronet by the name of Big Red Ram. They also have backup cars Vitamin C (to be piloted by Hope Schultz, when she turns 16 in 2014), and Texas Black Magic (currently in the process of being rebuilt and painted in the new team colors).
While drag racing is our lives — it is very expensive. It currently cost us about $75,000 a year in expenses to field a pair of cars. after a little sponsor help with product.

I decided on a whim to throw an after school Valentine crafting party for my daughter and a few of her friends and it turned into an all out bonding session. If you're looking for ways to get inside your nine and ten year-old's heads, crafting might be just the thing!
We love Valentine's Day over here. For years we have been creating and gathering ideas for easy Valentine's Day cards for kids, homemade Valentine's Day gifts, and fun Valentine's Day projects.
But I also love what I see out there on the web and want to share some of my favorite Valentine's Day gift ideas for kids (which I have been obsessively collecting on my Pinterest board).

AbstractComputational tools that accurately predict the performance of electric propulsiondevices are highly desirable and beneficial to NASA and the broader electric propulsioncommunity. The current state-of-the-art in electric propulsion modeling relies heavily onempirical data and on numerous computational "knobs". In Phase I of this project, wedeveloped the most detailed ion engine discharge chamber model that currently exists.This is a kinetic model that simulates all particles in the discharge chamber along with aphysically correct simulation of the electric fields. In addition, kinetic erosion models areincluded for modeling the ion-impingement effects on thruster component erosion. ForPhase II of this project, the goal is to make this sophisticated computer program a userfriendly program that NASA and other governmental and industrial customers are able toutilize. In Phase II we will implement a number of advanced numerical routines to bringthe computational time down to a commercially acceptable level. At the end of Phase II,NASA will have a highly sophisticated, user friendly ion engine discharge chambermodeling tool that will save time and expense in designing new and different size ionengines, as well as analyzing existing ion engine performance.

Time Inc. to Name Laura Lang CEO
That concludes a nine-month search.
After a nine-month search, Time Warner is set to name Laura Lang, previously the chief executive of digital ad firm Digitas, as the new CEO of Time Inc., the Journal reports. Lang's expertise seems particularly relevant, as magazine publishers continue trying to crack the code of digital advertising. Jack Griffin was fired from the job after only a few months back in February, when Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes announced in a memo that "his leadership style and approach did not mesh with Time Inc. and Time Warner."

"Three Palaces, a Town and a Wombat" Rastatt by Russell_the_Wombat
Rastatt Travel Guide: 35 reviews and 214 photos
Favorite palace, my favourite
Take 1 gorgeous autumn day, 1 bike, 1 camera, 1 wombat, 1 mommy, 2 S-Bahn trains, 1 bag with sufficient food and drink supply, 3 baroque palaces and 1 town, sort ingredients in proper sequel, and you get 1 perfect excursion.
This was a photo excursion for w*rk reasons. Anyway, sometimes we both are glad that there is no car in our household. Everything has to be done by public transport, bike or on foot. We took the S-Bahn to the nearest station and then set out by bike to explore the palaces. In between we enjoyed the ride through the beautiful autumn colours of the countryside. We got fresh air and sunshine and exercise. Just like a wombat likes work.
We started in Kuppenheim and biked over to Favorite, the summer palace of the Margraves which is located in a big beautiful park. From there we continued into the town of Rastatt. We first visited the tiny Pagodenburg on the river bank, then into the centre to see the big residential palace of the Margraves again.
I had already been to Rastatt palace once before, i.e. during the 2008 Gl�hwein meeting when a bunch of VTers went to Rastatt. On that day we even saw the interior of the palace during a guided tour before we reached our final destination, the Christmas market. So we did not have to do the tour of the palace again today.

Russell, YOU were drunk!!! Lucky Schloss that you did not damage the roof when knocking on it. My favourite would be Pagodenburg, very cute. Mama says she knows Kuppenheim's football stadium :-) A big bear hug from Kimi

Maybe there's some kind of conflict with javascript. I don't have much knowledge about them, sadly:/

Is it possible that my theme is ruling out scripts?
thanks for your plugin and looking forward to a solution

Recent reviews
Good 3.3 /5 from 44 reviews
Room smelt like smoke even though we were told it was a nonsmoking room. The first room we checked into also had toiletries that had been opened and used. They accommodated us by moving our room but the new room also smelt like smoke. The second room had shower towels with hair on them. We minimized our stay in our room by only coming home to sleep there around 1:30 AM. I woke up by 6:30 AM and couldn't wait to get out of there!
A disapointment. Staff clueless and apathetic, for $200 a night did not even have a couple bottles of water,. mattress uncomfortable , room had been dusted in the week. and then after that they charged me $20 for a late check out, not worth the money
One night last minute. The bed was comfortable, the linens were old, there was a stain on the coverlet, and the bathroom was very old and the tile was very dirty.
Cordial, helpfull. Would stay again
DEFINITELY not a $150 per night experience, REGARDLESS of the season or location!!! - I had selected this business based on images, reviews and price. We were EXTREMELY disappointed! - it is located on the highway, with the swimming pool in the middle of an island in the parking lot. Not somewhere I feel comfortable disrobing and relaxing/enjoying family. They're we're too old BBQ grills that hardly looked like they functioned, pushed to the side of the grass.. That would be the "BBC Area" mentioned in the amenities. But by far the worst part was pulling up to our room in front of what was either garbage or laundry in black bags, equipment and a general mess outside of the doors to neighbors that had left the lights on, not dressed, and passed out on the bed, at 11 pm. From about 11:30 - 4 am we were kept up by the screaming and obscenely loud noise that was impossible to filter out from the paper thin walls. We we're on sure if we should try to sleep or call the police. The room was alright, far from great. There was a small blood stain on the comforter that grossed me out, but had clearly been bleached. The soap dish in the bathroom had not been cleaned from the previous gests.

What to do in Istanbul
Shopping , Day Tours , Oriental Turkish Night , Bosphorus cruise with diner at night , Whirling Dervishes Ceremony , Night Life Istanbul ,
Every tourist who chooses to come to Istanbul knows about colorful & authentic Grand and Spice Bazaars. These places sell mostly souvenirs, jewellery, leather and carpet for tourists. If you are looking about modern day shopping ie. clothes, shoes, etc you have lots of other choices in this huge city. First of all Europes most largest shopping mall has been opened last year called Cevahir in Mecidiyekoy district. You can directly reach it by underground from Taksim or take simply a taxi. It has hundreds of men&women clothes shops with decent prices as well as a fast food court, a supermarket, a DIY shop and furniture shops. Akmerkez in Etiler, Kanyon and Metrocity are the other great shopping centres. Akmerkez and Kanyon has a good collection of designer shops like Harvey Nichols (Kanyon) or GANT (Akmerkez). Kanyon has an awesome architecture. You actually shop at the outside. It has many nice outdoor cafes that you can sit and relax. Galleria which is the oldest shopping centre of Istanbul is good for people who stays at the old part close to the airport. Profilo is the modest and smallest them all in Mecidiyekoy area. All them has either cash machines or bank branches inside so dont worry about the money! However unlike the Bazaars you cant haggle with the sellers in these places yet you can be sure that you would never be ripped off.
If you like outdoor shopping Nisantasi area is just for you! From designer shops to the modest range ones it offers good choices. The area also very lively with its cafes, restaurants, bars theathers, concert halls, beautiful 19th century apartments. Even if you dont like shopping why not stroll around to see the lively atmosphere, laughing locals at the cafes and beautiful flowers from the vendors?
While Nisantasi area is the landmark for the European side of Istanbul, Bagdat Street is the landmark of Asian side. If you stay in European side it might be further away for you but if you like sea travel ling take a ferry from Eminonu to Kadykoy and then small buses called dolmus to the street. The street is much wider and longer than Nisantasi and very popular with youngsters! Like Nisantasi a wide selection of shops and entertainment will be waiting for you here too!.Enjoy!
Historic Sites, Museums
There are so many, but here are the biggies we visited and how we ranked them. Any travel book has info on them so we need not comment on what to specifically see or expect:
Must Sees 1. Topkapi Palace is a world class treasure – not only for some of the architecture or artefacts, but to glimpse the life than Sultans led (and the Harem women). Plan 3-4 hours. Audio guides available for purchase in Multilanguage for 10 Lira and worth every penny. Arrive early – we were there by 9am but the Harem is not open until 10am and just before then hordes of people (in the hundreds) arrived by bus in tour groups.
2. Blue Mosque is a spectacular building, plan 40 minutes
3. Haghia Sophia is another magnificent building, plan 90 minutes
4. Basilica Cistern is a great place to visit in the heat of day, plan 60-75 minutes
Should Sees 5. Galata Tower , fabulous views great place to snap pictures, worth the admission price
6. Galata Bridge, better to walk under on both sides in both directions, great place to sit in the evening, have a beer and look at the Topkapi Palace, the Haghia Sophia and the Blue Mosque
7. Kariye Müzesi – Chora church. Church/museum with beautiful mosaics and frescos. Its near the land wall so go admire it too.
Could Sees
8. Archaeological Museum is interesting but not a must see. Plan 75 minutes
9. New Eminonu Mosque (only because we prayed here, participating in the washing of our hands, feet, face and prayers) we are not Muslim just respectful of the host country. Plan 30 minutes after the call for prayer. We put our sandals in the plastic bags and carried them with us – and of course wore pants not shorts. A highlight for us was watching a young man in front of us instruct his 8 or 9 year old son how to conduct himself by demonstrating how to stand, bend, kneel, etc. and we learned as well.
Cultural, Day Trips, Other Must Do
1. Bosphorus Trip on the Ferry. This was so relaxing with great vistas. We enjoyed a meal, had haircuts, a shave J and a few beers at Anadolu Kavagi. Ferry trip costs almost nothing and is a great break from the City proper (although the skyline of Istanbul is ever present).
2. Taksim Square and Istiklal Caddesi and streets off it are full of life – bars and restaurants and people everywhere. We spent most evenings in and around this area.
3. Cagaloglu Hamam A bit of a rip off for what you get, the masseuse hounded us for money afterwards, but it was worth the exp. of being there. Great architecture and worth the price just to see it. We did not go to a second "traditional;" non-tourist Haman (as planned) as one of us came down with some food poisoning (we think after eating Turkish ravioli with yogurt as near as we can figure).
Should Do 4. Whirling Dervishes at the Mevlevi Monastery were very enjoyable, but a tad long. Nice gift shop inside which you visit first to buy items at it was closed on the way out after the 2 nd show and many people were disappointed.
Could Do 5. Bus Tour of Istanbul from the Sultanahmet (audio guide provided in English). We got to see a few places we would not have otherwise – and if time permits this is always a great introduction to any city.
6. Princes Islands and horse carriage ride (this was OK but the Island needs a real cleanup in particular the back 90 as it is littered with garbage everywhere – plan 45-60 minutes for the carriage ride) and plan to be disappointed if they do not clean it up. Plan a half day for the excursion trip at a minimum.
7. Tram and Train trips – cheap way to see the best and worst areas of the City – we always do this where ever we go. Use the Abkil pass – it works well, saves time and frustration buying jetons (tokens), is easy to use and saves a few bucks.
Shopping While the Grand Bazaar is a must see place for a visit, it is not necessarily the best place to buy anything other than souvenirs. We could see that the Grand Bazaar must have abounded in exotic goods from all corners of the world at one time. Today however, it is full of trinkets, junk, knock offs – albeit there are carpets galore and of course hundreds of small jewellery places. Its "buyer beware" here. This is not the place to come to on your first day or two upon arrival and should be left to visit when you have some strength and energy to deal with the sheer size of the place and to withstand the constant banter and calls trying to get you to buy things. We priced out some jewellery items in the Grand Bazaar and compared the prices to larger stand alone jewellery stores located elsewhere in Istanbul – and opted to purchase from these stores rather than the Grand Bazaar based on price, reputation and some local advice. Notwithstanding, we observed many women in Muslin dress negotiating prices on rings and bracelets in the Grand Bazaar, indicative that they are capable of evaluating the authenticity jewellery and craftsmanship at a price they like.
The Spice Bazaar and street surrounding it is much more interesting, and worthy of some time to explore. I recall Lemon Lady saying she likes to shop for shawls on one of the streets – and we must have found that street – with store after store of shawls and such and we had to fight our way through all the women buying!. Taksim offers some shopping, but the real shopping is in malls, back streets of Istanbul and those around the Grand Bazaar. We did buy some very nice art, some prints, pottery, jewellery, and souvenirs – and certainly ended up with extra luggage which we had planned. Turkey Tours with Chora Travel

Federal District Court Rejects VCCR Individual Rights
[T]he ICJ in LaGrand did not go so far as to hold that Article 36 of the Vienna Convention creates individually enforceable legal rights that a detainee may assert in a domestic criminal proceeding to reverse a conviction. However, a few years later in Avena, the ICJ explained that "what is crucial in the review and reconsideration process is the existence of a procedure which guarantees that full weight is given to the violation of the rights set forth in the Vienna Convention, whatever may be the actual outcome of such review and reconsideration." Avena, 2004 I.C.J. at 65. Thus, Avena did hold that the United States has an obligation to permit detainees to raise Article 36 claims in our domestic courts. While Avena and, to a lesser degree, LaGrand support Bell's contention that Article 36 of the Vienna Convention creates individually enforceable rights of consular notification, these ICJ decisions do not constitute binding precedent on domestic cases involving different parties. The statute of the ICJ states that its decisions have "no binding force except between the parties and in respect of that particular case." Statute of the International Court of Justice, Article 59. "Just as I.C.J decisions are not considered binding precedent by the I.C.J, nor are they considered authoritative statements of international law in domestic courts."...Of course, it is anticipated that in two pending cases the Supreme Court will clarify whether the Vienna Convention creates individually enforceable rights. The cases of Bustillo v. Johnson and Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon are scheduled for oral argument on March 29, 2006. The Supreme Court briefs in those cases have been submitted and provide much fodder for thought.
In light of the LaGrand and Avena cases, the Supreme Court's vague comments on whether Article 36 is individually enforceable, the State Department's position on the issue, and the general presumption that international treaties do not confer individual rights, "[i]t remains an open question whether the Vienna Convention gives rise to any individually enforceable rights." United States v. Minjares-Alvarez, 264 F.3d 980, 986 (10th Cir.2001). Indeed, one circuit has held that the Vienna Convention confers individual rights, other circuits have held that it does not, and still others have stated that it remains unclear. See United States v. Villa-Ortega, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 28234, at *11 (D.Kan.2005) (citing a Seventh Circuit case holding it does confer individual rights; First, Second, Fifth, and Sixth Circuit cases holding that it does not confer individual rights; and Third, Ninth, and Tenth Circuit cases stating that it is unclear). Because no clearly established federal law directs that Article 36 creates an individually enforceable right to consular access, it cannot be said that the Supreme Court of Virginia's determination that it does not confer such a right is contrary to, or involves an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law. Thus, I must deny relief on this claim.
Law professors who argue in an amici brief (2005 WL 3530557), available here, that the Vienna Convention does create individually enforceable rights are David Sloss, David Bederman, Frederic Bloom, Erwin Chemerinsky, Sarah Cleveland, Constance De La Vega, William Dodge, Martin Flaherty, Greg Fox, Roger Goldman, Laurence Helfer, Ronald Slye, Beth Stephens, Michael Van Alstyne, Beth Van Schaack, David Weissbrodt, and Ingrid Wuerth.
Law professors who argue in an amici brief (2006 WL 259988), available here, that the Vienna Convention does not create individually enforceable rights are Paul Stephan, Samuel Estreicher, John Harrison, Julian Ku, John McGinnis, Mark Movsesian, Ruth Wedgewood, Mark Weisburd, Ann Woolhandler, and Ernest Young.

Gallup, considered to be one of the top polling firms in the United States, has determined that Americans' support for legalizing marijuana has reached 58%, growing ten points since their most recent poll on the question in 2012 and demonstrating clear majority support for ending marijuana prohibition.
"The passage of adult-use marijuana initiatives in Colorado and Washington has demonstrated widespread disillusion with marijuana prohibition," notes Aaron Smith, executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association. . . .
"One simply needs to look to history to see that prohibition of a popular substance leads to a rise in organized crime and introduces otherwise law-abiding adults to criminal elements," Smith continued. "But in a regulated and secure marijuana industry, there is only room for responsible businesses and entrepreneurs with the highest standards for safety, quality, and accountability. Now, it's time for Congress to act on this clear public mandate by taking action to end the failed experiment of federal marijuana prohibition."

World Traveler bugged?
Hey guys,
I just got the last of the Explorer achievements (including DLC) and World Traveler never popped. Was it updated to include DLC (meaning that I have to explore Torgue too) or is it bugged?
EDIT: I got it, feel free to delete this.
Thanks. It turns out I was missing a couple locations in Southern Shelf - Bay and the Moonshiner's Shack in The Dust.
I think you have to explore the whole world with one character as well. You cannot split the exploration between different characters for the World Traveler.
Yeah, I got it.
This was one achievement in this game, I was really worried about getting but I did.
I figured it would work that way.
It actually took me a while to get. Mostly because I got bored with the game for a while. I recently got it because I was on an achievement run for some games.
I still think it may be glitched or the map shows as fully explored even though there might be a spot missing. Have all areas and borders explored and still no world explorer

Subjective Evaluations of Automotive Audio Systems
A method of performing double-blind sound-quality evaluations using binaural recording techniques is presented. Automotive audio systems of multiple vehicles can then be easily compared using panelists to determine consumer preferences and to help establish design hierarchy. The relative advantages of this type of analysis method is demonstrated via a comparison with other types of subjective evaluation.

Field-Programmable Gate-Array-Based 32-Times Oversampling Eighth-Order Sigma-Delta Audio DAC
A novel Sigma-Delta based audio DAC system is presented. The converter operates at only 32-times oversampling (1.4 MHz) and uses an eighth-order Sigma-Delta modulator implemented in a single FPGA circuit. Two different DAC circuits have been implemented: One using switched capacitor charge packets and one using nonreturn to zero pulses. A voltage-controlled Xtal oscillator-based PLL ensures low-jitter sampling clock recovery.

Blues were already 2-0 ahead courtesy of early goals from Samuel Eto'o and Andre Schurrle when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain handled an Eden Hazard shot and Marriner instead showed a red card to Kieran Gibbs, despite his team-mate apparently approaching the referee to admit wrongdoing.
Hazard netted from the resultant penalty, Oscar added a fourth before the interval and a fifth before his replacement Mohamed Salah netted his first Chelsea goal and the Premier League leaders' sixth.
The Portuguese said: "We came to kill and in 10 minutes we destroyed (them). Ten amazing minutes, no doubt this game was our game.
"After that, easy. Penalty, red card, 3-0. Easy. But my analysis of the game is about the 10 minutes.
"The penalty was a penalty and the red card was a red card. It's the kind of mistake that no referee wants to make."
Mourinho is an advocate of the fourth official having access to a screen to replay decisions.
He added: "It would be nice for the ref because he doesn't want to make that mistake, it would be nice also for the players that a little screen could say Chamberlain, not Gibbs."
Mourinho insists his side's title chances remain slim as Manchester City have games in hand to overtake the Blues.
And it is clear the Portuguese is still seething at last week's controversial loss at Aston Villa, when referee Chris Foy sent off Willian, Ramires and the Chelsea boss.
He said: "Can we play against Aston Villa again? No.
"The momentum was broken last Saturday. Somebody broke the momentum and now we are trying to build another momentum."
Mourinho gestured with his finger and thumb to show his side have "just a little" chance of the title.

Various ocean reanalysis data reveal that the subarctic Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) has been cooling during the twentieth century. A similar cooling pattern is found in the doubling CO2 experiment obtained from the CMIP3 (coupled model intercomparison project third phase) compared to the pre-industrial experiment. Here, in order to investigate the main driver of this cooling, we perform the heat budget analysis on the subarctic Atlantic upper ocean temperature. The net surface heat flux associated with the increased concentration of greenhouse gases heats the subarctic ocean surface. In the most of models, the longwave radiation, latent heat flux, and sensible heat flux exert a warming effect, and the shortwave radiation exerts a cooling effect. On the other hand, the thermal advection by the meridional current reduces the subarctic upper ocean temperature in all models. This cold advection is attributed to the weakening of the meridional overturning circulation, which is related to the reduction in the ocean surface density. In particular, greater warming of the surface air than of the sea surface results in the reduction of surface evaporation and thereby enhanced freshening of the ocean surface water, while precipitation change was smaller than evaporation change. The thermal advections by both the wind-driven Ekman current and the density-driven geostrophic current contribute to cooling in most of the models, where the heat transport by the geostrophic current tends to be larger than that by the Ekman current.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been celebrating the reality star, who turned 32 on Sunday, with a vacation in Rome.
On Thursday, the couple shared a romantic evening at Il Bolognese restaurant, but an unexpected outfit change left onlookers puzzled.
"The thing that struck me the most was that [Kim] came in dressed in one way and left the restaurant dressed in another," the restaurant's owner tells PEOPLE. "Mid-dinner [Kim and Kayne's] driver came into the restaurant with a huge carrier bag and dress carrier."
"[Kim] went into the bathroom and changed," he adds. "Some of our guests were already quite stunned by her presence and even more so when she reappeared looking completely different."
"When she came in, she was wearing a long black dress with long sleeves and a huge [slit] up the leg with knee-high boots but when then she left wearing a green outfit," he says.
Kardashian identified the outfit on her blog on Friday. "I m wearing a green Lanvin dress and Tom Ford heels and accessories. I love this dress! I m really loving this deep emerald green color at the moment, what do you think?" she asked readers.
West, 35, and Kardashian started their meal off with parma ham and buffalo mozzarella, then paired pasta with Bolognese sauce and handmade tortellini stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach with a bottle of classic Chianti red wine.
On Friday, Kardashian Tweeted, "Italy is so beautiful! Best birthday ever!!!"

I'm using Windows 8 (not PRO) and I created different users (as local or MS user). But in the "normal" user control center (e.g. control nusrmgr.cpl) I get only two users.
I found one day a page which provides the name of a extended user control which was started by command line. It brings up the "old" win 7 control center which provides more functionality and list all users.
But I forget this special command and could not find it again.
Does anyone know how start this extended user control in WIN8 or how to switch to a user which is hidden in the normal user control.
Thanks Thorsten

United Wayĺs fundraising in mid-Michigan is holding steady and even, in part, increasing
Gratiot Countyĺs United Way campaign has collected 80 percent of its goal, Isabella County is at about 85 percent, but Clare County has achieved just 53 percent of its goal.
Nevertheless, Clare has raised about the same amount of money as it did last year at this time.
And Clare, unlike the others, ôdoesnĺt really have a cut off date,ö said Sandy Hages, Clareĺs director, who also serves as the director for Gladwin Countyĺs United Way.
The Clare campaign to raise $205,000 can go until June, when the organizationĺs fiscal report has to be completed.
ôWeĺre still waiting on our major firms,ö she said. .
Isabella County is looking at raising $450,000 and itĺs ahead of last yearĺs donations, said Isabellaĺs United Way Director Tom Olver.
Isabellaĺs campaign will end Jan. 31, he said.
The county set a goal to increase funding by 10 percent for three years, Olver said, and began a plan this year to increase donations from individual donors who gave less than $100.
With the help of Graff Chevrolet, anyone who contributes more than $100 can be entered in the contest drawing to drive a 2014 Chevy Cruise for two years.
In general, donations are up, but the education sector is not doing as well.
ôCentral Michigan University is down this year from last year and weĺre still trying to figure that out,ö Olver said.
Yet demands are increasing, he said.
ôArea foundations seem to be cutting back,ö he said.
Isabella has also added five new partner agencies, bringing the total to 25 organizations that are the recipients of the fund raising. Added are the Girl Scouts, HATS, the Hopewell Ranch, the Discovery Museum and the Isabella Soup Kitchen.
Gratiotĺs goal this year is to raise $330,000 for its nine partner agencies, said Director Shelly Buschle.
It Ĺs on the same track as last year.
The campaign will end in February and distribution of the funds is planned for March, she said.
This year, Gratiotĺs agency made a lot more workplace presentations with representatives of the partner agencies sharing some of their stories and explaining how the money is spent, Buschle said.
Along with steady contributions from the hospital, Garr Tool, Consumers Energy and First Bank and smaller businesses, Gratiot saw that donations from Alma College doubled this year.

Skullgirls update fleshes out feature list
The first update for Reverge Labs' 2D cartoon-fighter, Skullgirls, is almost upon us. Project lead Mike Zaimont has listed the changes expected to hit once Microsoft and Sony have approved the patch, which include improvements to online play, game play tweaks and a raft of other additions. Check out Shoryuken for the unofficial change-list in full.
Skullgirls can be plucked from the digital ether for PS3 and 360; a PC version is due later in the year and will feature cross-platform play with the PlayStation 3 version, which is nice.

About this Business
From Our Editors
In 1957, Chuck's Supper Club suffered its first fire. The second would come 10 years later as a blaze that completely demolished the building. The twice-rebuilt eatery then operated without incident until closing in 2000, lying dormant for 10 years before it became Burke's Lakeside Restaurant and Bar. The restaurant's owners renovated its interior, decking the walls in dark cherry accents and building a stone fireplace as the room's centerpiece and an alternative entrance for hungry chimney sweeps. Inside the banquet room, a hardwood dance floor sprawls in front of a live-music stage, and outside, a wraparound deck overlooks the shores of Silver Lake.
At the bar, servers pour more than 17 wines and 10 draft beers. In the kitchen, chefs blend regional American recipes to craft dishes such as grilled 16-ounce steaks, Pabst Blue Ribbon–braised ribs, and cast-iron-seared salmon with avocado relish and jalapeño corn. They also design their own takes on international dishes such as shepherd's pie, and lobster and shrimp wontons.

CA$H (Creative Assistance for the Small (organization) and Hungry (artist)) is a grants program for the Bay Area's professionally-oriented theatre and dance artists and small organizations with budgets of under $100,000.
The next deadline will be announced in late summer 2016
Below are the recent guidelines and materials, for reference.
All applicants applying to CA$H with a Dance project must submit their materials via email to Dancers' Group (NOT Theatre Bay Area) using the Dance application.
Review the guidelines and complete the appropriate application packet based on your selection of a grant for a dance artist or organization. Download:
Dance Artist Application
Dance Organization Application
*We recommend using the free Adobe Reader application to complete your PDF application form.
Applicants applying for support for a theatre project must submit their application to Theatre Bay Area and can download theatre-specific application materials at theatrebayarea.org.
Be sure to review the application materials and guidelines carefully as changes have been made.
Questions? Email email@example.com or call 415-920-9181
- ARTISTS may apply for $2,000 in support of an artistic project.
- ORGANIZATIONS with annual budgets under $100,000 may apply for $4,000 in support of an artistic project OR for an organizational development project that will improve their ability to create/present art. Requests for organizational development should specify the purpose (e.g. website, computer purchase, marketing initiative, etc.) and describe how it will improve the organization's ability to create or present art.
Priority will go to work that:
- has an impact on the artist, the organization, the community or the field
- is innovative and takes creative risks with the potential for excellence
- will result in some kind of tangible creative activity
The dance round of CA$H is open to Bay Area ARTISTS and small ORGANIZATIONS that create and perform dance works. The Bay Area includes San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano Counties.
* ARTISTS must be at least 18 years old, working in the art form of the proposed project, and be able to document at least one professionally oriented work that was presented publicly in the last two years (since April 2014). Artists may apply either as individuals or submit a collaborative team application. A collaborative team consists of two or more artists who are applying to support work that all members of the team will create together. Collaborative teams must document at least one professionally oriented work that was presented publicly in the last two years that involved all members of the team.
* ORGANIZATIONS, incorporated or not, must have a yearly operational budget under $100,000, and be able to document at least two professionally oriented works that were presented publicly in the last two years (since April 2014). If an organization does not fulfill these requirements, they may consider submitting an "ARTIST" application as a collaborative team (see eligibility above).
No applications from students or CA$H personnel, or from organizations that are primarily presenters, performance venues, nonprofessional (pastime/hobby) companies or arts education programs.
Applicants can only submit one proposal per granting round.
Previous CA$H grantees may reapply, but must first sit out one round of their discipline as well as submit a self-evaluation on the project for which they were funded before reapplying.
Requests for funding to retire debts from current or past performances are discouraged. Members of the CA$H panel may not apply to any round in which they are serving on the panel.
How Decisions are Made
CA$H is designed to be an entirely artist-driven program and, in line with that, the program's administrators assemble a group of five artists/administrators to review each round of applications and make all granting decisions. It is our commitment to gather a group that is diverse in all aspects (ethnicity, geography, discipline, experience, etc.). Every panelist must go through training on the panel process; all are empowered to interpret the priority criteria through the filter of their own personal experiences and artistic views, while staying true to guiding principles on which CA$H was founded.
Awards will be announced within 7 weeks of the application deadline. All applicants will be notified via email. While there is no specific grant period in which the funds must be used, projects must not culminate before June 1, 2016. Grantees will begin receiving requests for a final report approximately six months after receiving a grant.
Grantees must provide a simple self-evaluation of the funded project, including how the money was spent, the number of artists involved in carrying it out, and the number of people who attended a performance, if applicable.

Inmate sentenced for threats to Obama, governor
RUTLAND A prison inmate accused of sending threatening letters to President Barack Obama and Gov. Peter Shumlin has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison.
Dakota Gardner, 22, sent the letters last year while incarcerated on a 2009 assault charge at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield.
Gardner apologized in court Monday for sending the letters. A judge last year sealed the records on the basis that the threats described were too gruesome and inflammatory to be made public.
Gardner said that when he wrote the letters, he was about to get out of jail and figured he would be put back in prison if he made the threats. He said he didnt have the control to be out in the community.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA Vermonts delegation to the Democratic National Convention took center stage...

Phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that Schefflera, the largest genus of Araliaceae, is grossly polyphyletic, comprising five distinct clades within the family. In an effort to establish monophyletic genera among the elements that currently comprise Schefflera, the genus Plerandra is expanded to encompass all of the members of one of these clades. In this synoptical revision, a new infrageneric classification is presented (along with a key) in which six subgenera are recognized. Four of these subgenera are newly described (Plerandra subgenera Canacoschefflera, Costatae, Gabriellarum, and Veilloniorum) and a fifth represents a new combination (Plerandra subg. Dizygotheca). A total of 33 species (one with two subspecies) are accepted, one of which is newly described (P. veilloniorum), and 22 new combinations are made (P. actinostigma, P. baillonii, P. cabalionii, P. costata, P. crassipes, P. elegantissima, P. elongata, P. emiliana, P. gabriellae, P. leptophylla, P. nono, P. osyana, P. osyana subsp. toto, P. pachyphylla, P. pancheri, P. plerandroides, P. polydactylis, P. reginae, P. seemanniana, P. tannae, P. vanuatua, P. veitchii). Neotypes are provided for six accepted names and one heterotypic synonym, and lectotypes are designated for 13 accepted names and 16 heterotypic synonyms. For each accepted species, full synonymy is provided along with geographic range and notes.
