Unless it's not supposed to but I can't seem to get
nth-child to acknowledge the class selector.
I have say 4 divs inside another div, all of various classes and ids. I need to select the first instance of a div with said class. For example:
#content .foo:nth-child(1) { margin-top: 0; }
And obviously again with
first-child to get the same affect, but it doesn't affect any of the divs.
Now if I want to force it to work with that div I can do this:
#content .foo:nth-child(3) { margin-top: 0; }
It just so happens that it is the 3rd div in #content, which is pointless because I need to get the 1st instance of anything with that class.

Here's a sample of the HTML, I've tried
nth-of-type as well like this:
#content .table:nth-of-type(1) { margin: 0 }
Again it only responds when I say
I've set up a working example of the problem I'm having here: http://jsfiddle.net/aHwS8/

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) - BP says it has received 145,000 claims
for lost income because of its blown-out well and has paid out $324
million without denying a single claim.
But the company said Monday it also has 39,000 claims pending - and some of those have been hanging for months. BP says those claims are being reviewed and might need more paperwork from the people who filed them before they can be paid.
Meanwhile, the government's point man for the spill, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, is planning a three-day trip to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama this week to discuss ways to speed up cleanup as the peak of hurricane season approaches.
Oil spill costs continue to mount for BP. The oil giant announced Monday it has spent $6.1 billion responding to the spill since the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon killed 11 workers, sending the rig to the bottom of the sea and oil spewing 5,000 feet underwater.

These seminars take place on different days of the week and in many locations around town, some of them members' homes.
This semester, there are three different kinds of off-campus seminars. Many are the traditional kind that run for the entire semester, or beyond. Others are one-day events; signup requirements vary! Read the descriptions carefully! They are:
You can also register for the symposia or the traditional seminars at the Rendezvous on Jan. 29 in the CSUS University Union.
You can sign up for as many of these semesters as fit your desires and schedules. Some of them have waiting lists and are not adding new members. If you are interested in one of these closed seminars, consider being a leader or co-leader for a new section! In order to start a new group you will need to identify a meeting place, days and times for the sessions and work on recruiting potential participants.
Each seminar has a Style immediately following its name, defined as follows:
These are single-day events held at the time and place indicated. Each of these sessions is limited to 50 participants and registration is required! You may register online for as many of these sessions as you desire.
To register online, use this link. You will be asked your Renaissance membership number (on your membership card, but add RS before the six-digit number, i.e., RS777777); you also will be able to look it up on that site. Once you have registered, you will get a confirmation email. You can go back and register for more of these seminars (or even cancel if you need to).
Alternatively, you may email Ed Sherman.
A fully illustrated look at the gods, temples, rituals and beliefs of the Ancient Hellenes. This is not the story of mythology, but instead a look at how the Hellenes undertook to stay in harmony with the immortals.
Asian countries have produced many different types of arts and crafts, depending upon readily available material from jade to bamboo. This fully illustrated symposium is divided into two parts: 1) Southeast Asian crafts; 2) Asian jewelry.
Collecting art can be fun and sometimes rewarding. It can also be an expensive and risky hobby. Using an abundance of art photos, we will explore the joys and pitfalls of playing The Art Game.
The Wright brothers first controlled flight in 1903. Almost immediately, women were in air: barnstorming, flying exhibitions, flying the mail, participating in contests and organizing women aviators' groups. They helped build planes during WW II and flew planes to where they were needed for the war efforts. Some women became test pilots and passed all the tests to become astronauts, but were denied, despite taking their case to the U.S. Congress. Now it is not uncommon for women to fly jets, have commanded the space shuttle and walk in space.
California's Leadership Role in Addressing Air Pollution (from the 1940s to the present.) It is widely known that California has some of the most severe air pollution problems in the United States. What is far less known is the tremendous success and leadership California has provided in addressing this world-wide problem. This symposium will highlight many of the key discoveries and innovations California has pioneered, and will also examine the big air quality challenges still ahead.
Learn about the transition from "too fragile and not competitive" to winning Olympic medals. Be ready for surprises. The first pro women's baseball team played in 1875. Women were initially banned from the Olympics. Opponents to college women's teams in the 1930s included the Women's Division of the AAU because competition was not "ladylike." Profiles of some pioneering women athletes will help illustrate the presentation.
California's Constitution offers broader free-speech protection than the U.S. Constitution. Theodore Roosevelt felt Los Angeles needed Owens Valley water much more than Owens Valley did. And Hiram Johnson became governor and created the initiative process only because of a would-be assassin's bullet. These are just a few of the interesting anecdotes in Game Changers: 12 Elections that Transformed California, a new book written by four people (including former TV newsman Steve Swatt) with a combined 150 years' experience in California politics and government.
A little bit of old art, a whole bunch of new art and the repercussions that Impression wrought upon the Art world. At this seminar discover how Impressionism challenged the artistic status quo and set it on a new tangent.
The right to keep and bear arms was not controversial for this country's first 200 years. Why is it now in the headlines almost every day? We will try to shed some light on what is really behind this issue.
Gertrude Bell, the female Lawrence of Arabia! Gertrude crisscrossed the Arabian desert, meeting sheiks and spying for the English government. She traveled in typical Victorian style with frills and fancy hats, but had one of the most brilliant minds of her time. She helped, to a great extent, form the current Middle East as we know it. Lawrence got the movie, Gertrude should get the credit.
Relying on his over 11 years as an FBI Special Agent—the first four under Hoover—Bill Olmsted will describe the Bureau's traditional investigations from the early days such as Kidnapping, Extortion, Bank Robbery and a myriad of other crimes. These were the cornerstone of the Bureau's early reputation before its current involvement with computer hackers and terrorists.
History as Mystery will compare the research and methods of Historians to those of Detectives as they go about their business of solving mysteries. So we will observe both the Historian and Detective as they exercise their analytical powers of deduction to identify perpetrators of crimes against individuals and whole societies. Each one will be dealing with the proverbial questions: Who, What, When, Where, How and, most importantly, Why?
A panel of Renaissance Society women will share some of their Wild and Crazy experiences in the world of politics. Capital Capers and National Nuttiness will be the theme of this fun and entertaining discussion.
Frank Gehry is one of the most innovative architects today. His Guggenheim Bilbao Museum and Walt Disney Concert Hall demonstrate that great buildings don't have to be built using simple shapes with square corners. We'll explore these and a few other of his buildings using videos and photos. We'll also show you how he designs buildings that defy conventional blueprints. As a special treat, you'll see a short clip from The Simpsons TV Show featuring Frank Gehry playing himself poking fun of his own designs.
Socrates and Jesus. Each of these men in his own unique way contributed to our contemporary sense of morality. By examining the mission and message of each we will discover how together they became the conscience of Western Civilization.
These off-campus seminars from 9 to 11 a.m. on Thursdays have a different topic each week. These are drop-in seminars; no registration is required. They are all at the Asian Community Center, 7334 Park City Dr., Sacramento (phone 393-9026).

How did humans get to where we are today and what may be in our future? These and other issues of human life will be discussed in the seminar using media (books, videos, articles, etc). Participants will read a book/article or view videos on a selected topic prior to the monthly discussion. Resource lists will be provided. Resources may be PBS documentaries, TED talks, or from Here is The Big History website for Lifelong Learners. Participants will take turns choosing and leading discussion on topics of their choice. Registration is required, maximum is 30, and a waiting list will be maintained.
Books of all genres are read and discussed at the relaxed monthly meeting of this group. Members take turns selecting a book for the group to read.

Then each member gives his/her brief review. Lively discussions are frequent. The group meets year-round. Registration is required, maximum size is 20, and a waiting list is maintained. Contact leader for specific date(s) or more information.
The different book hosts choose a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Members engage in intelligent yet comfortable discussion about the writing, the topic, and the author. Group size is limited to 16. We usually meet in the community room listed above unless the book host wants us to meet in his/her home or a park. Registration is required and a waiting list is maintained.

If you enjoy new and exotic foods from around the world, this seminar is for you. Members help to plan presentations featuring the food of a country or region. Lunch can be at a restaurant or potluck. Speakers, field trips, DVDs, or PowerPoint presentations are also a part of the program. Our first meeting is Wednesday, Feb. 10. Meeting places will vary. Registration is required, maximum size is 30, and a waiting list is maintained. Contact Sandra or Marsha to enroll or for more information.
There are two groups of walkers with a leader for each group. The leaders determine where the walk will be and prepare a description of the walk. They will walk the two walks beforehand to determine the distance as the Hares walk four miles and the Tortoises two miles, will look for adequate parking and for restroom facilities, and if a State park, how much the fee is. They will choose a restaurant for lunch, and verify that the restaurant has room for a large group and adequate parking. The leader will include directions to the walk in the description. Some leaders include interesting facts about the park or area of the walk. We also inform people that they are expected to stay with their group. We encourage carpooling and provide walkers with a zip code list of the walkers for that purpose. We give each leader a medical emergency packet, and if walkers forgot to wear their Renaissance name tag, we require them to provide their emergency information. Registration is required and there is no maximum size.
Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and write in a wide range of styles with their own choice of subjects: fiction, memoirs, poetry, travelogues, autobiography, biography, family history, emails to friends, letters to the editors, etc. Expert writing is not required. This is not a writing class. Help with style, mechanics, and presentation will be offered if requested. Each member is expected to have 6-8 copies of what they are working on no more than three pages each week. Feedback and critiques are provided if requested. We meet at members' homes year-round. Registration is required, maximum size is 10, and a waiting list is maintained. Those interested in joining should contact leader for exact location of next meeting.

Sad news: It looks like it's officially over for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.
Marsha Ambrosius, Jay Z and D'Angelo have all stepped away from the mic at some point and found their way back to the charts. Here's a look at 10 Best Comebacks in Hip-Hop and R&B.
Prepare to feast your eyes (and ears!) on the men of Oxford's all-male a cappella group, Out of the Blue, covering Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.'
It's officially splitsville for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. Mr. Cannon confirmed that he has separated from the Grammy-winning songbird after six years of marriage.
Remember that one time when Mariah Carey could sing anything (including her own songs)? That day was not yesterday when she sang her Christmas song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" LIVE at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting.
Sit back and get ready to shake your head (and occasionally cover your eyes) at 30 Awkward Style Moments in R&B.
Uh-oh, Mariah Carey is in some hot water again after last night's 2013 BET Awards. Some are alleging that the legendary songstress lip-synced her performance of '#Beautiful' with Miguel.
She's one and done. Mariah Carey's PR firm let the world know that the diva has exited 'American Idol' after one lucrative season as a judge. Her reps did so via a tweet issued with little fanfare. It's like she exited through the back door, stopping to confirm what everyone already knew with a Miss America-like wave goodbye.
As had been rumored for a while, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have both publicly confirmed that they are leaving 'American Idol' after this season, following the announcement that Randy Jackson was also retiring. This leaves Keith Urban as the last judge standing, though perhaps not for long.
Mariah Carey had a wardrobe malfunction Friday morning (May 24) during her live appearance on 'Good Morning America.' The back of the R&B songbird's Versace dress popped open while she was chatting with 'GMA' host Lara Spencer.
Mariah Carey might not be the only one out of a job at 'American Idol.' If one report is to be believed, the show plans on doing some serious housecleaning during which all four judges will be axed in an attempt to quell the program's bleeding ratings.

I second what Noel said. Ten fingers crossed over here.
i dont know FNARF man, i was at the game, and felix looked in pain a bit and . i think he is done for a while, at least a couple of months, hopefully not longer.. all is lost. the twins exposed how lousy our M's are this year. And Santana is on the mound at 3:30. its a sweep.
hey fnarf not to bring this up again- but zito seems to be doing great for the Giants. i still say we should have gone after him.
professional sports is not all that.
" With those that dont give a damn about baseball. I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are clean and in favor of world peace. But while the game is on. I cant think of anything to say to them"
Lloyd reporting to the Sports Report. SeMe, nice to see you.... I'm kind of a stubborn bastard, but loyal and an optimist, or at the very least an enthusiast. (Fnarf, btw, 10 fingers crossed? Are you in a gang, too?)
So, ok, maybe Felix is hurt. That sucks. That's the only reason the Mariners get air time on ESPN. That's why fans walk up and buy tickets. That's also why the Seattle fans I have a distaste for leave in the second inning. You know, among other things that have to do with Felix. I'm pulling for the kid. Love the kid. But the fact remains that with or without Felix, all of our line-up - as I've said before - has the responsibility to contribute this year. That's the make up of our team this year. With or without Felix. All sports are about the mental mind set. If adversity happens, the adjustment you have to make is from positive to next best stragegy, not from positive to negative. More M's fans should consider that, I believe.
That aside, the series against the Twins wasn't poorly played. If anything, we were out-defensed so far. Their pitchers got balls hit to their guys, where ours didn't as much (8 doubles on Tuesday -- ouch). The M's have been hitting the ball hard, and I like that our line-up is showing fight and determination to compete. There's been some trouble getting that last hit to drive the runners in, so, hey, fuckin' yeah send Beltre and see if he can score. That's a strong sign to me that we have a team that wants to win. That's more important to me than a lot of statistical minutae often bandied about. Stats always come after the effort.
The M's are supposed to have good D, too, right? So you go out and get guys like Ramirez, Bautista, and Weaver. Your defense has to know that they're going to be a big part of winning and losing. I'm not gonna harsh on Weaver (who threw one good pitch that could've been called a strike, followed by one bad, bad pitch). Ramirez and Bautista settled down and had good second starts. These guys, though, all pitch to contact so I think some of the focus being placed on them to be perfect (which is difficult) needs to be understood better as pitchers who will rely on their defense to help them get the job done. These veteran guys know when they're making mistakes, so I count on them to bounce back and come out swinging again.
Holy Christ, I'm ranting.
Brad, as far as Vince Young on the cover of Madden goes, I'll predict that he bucks the trend of cover model injury. I mean, how many guys in a row can end up with a knee torn up like C3PO at Jawas?
What is it about 1-2, 5.29 ERA, 16 hits and 8 walks in 17 innings that says "doing great", SeMe? Obviously that's a ridiculous sample size, but if he's going to get hammered into the ground one out of every three starts, that's not "great". It's not worth $126 mil, either. Zito's a mediocre pitcher -- not a terrible one -- making Cy Young money. No thanks.
"Elbow tightness" has the potential to be a disaster of "Tommy John surgery" proportions. Or it could be nothing. Please let it be nothing!
Zito had all those nice bats back in Oakland. There's just not enough pitching to go around. Good time to be a millionaire.
Nice salary chart in the P-I yesterday. Sexon and Beltre both make more money than Ichiro. Weaver's making just slightly less than Sean White, Brandon Morrow, Mark Lowe, George Sherill, Jose Lopez, Felix Hernandez, Julio Mateo, Horacio Ramirez & JJ Putz combined.
From baseball that is. Ichiro makes crazy dough from his endorsement deals in Japan. He is not hurting.
Zito is going to have a great year. It is a young season. And he has bats. He has Barry.
Im thinking Tommy John. Pitching is a mo fo. Few people in the world can do it. Young pitchers with promise who start hot early are always risky. Remember Doc Gooden? Its always better that they mature late a la Randy.

Running Time: 185 Min.
Director: Mike Quasar
Company: Third Degree Films
Cast: Celeste Star, Sabrina Rose (I), Lisa A. Daniels, Marie Luv, Harmony (I), Amy Ried, Angie Savage, Rachel Roxxx, Samantha Ryan, Karlie Montana, Elena Rivera, Kina Kai, Frankie (I), Annette Schwarz, Franchezca Valentina, Carlie Banks, Sasha Grey, Tiffany Price, Cassie Young
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Solo
An all-girl masturbation marathon (three hours, 20 girls and two discs), offering the kind of hotties that Third Degree is known for snagging and shot by the trusted hands of Mike Quasar.
Quasarman's All Alone series is fast becoming the go-to line in this specialty niche. It's not surprising that dozens of smoking hot porn girls would be up to the task of jacking off — something most smut fans assume they do every day, regardless — alone on camera, but Quasar makes the most out of it.
Amy Ried is a noteworthy contestant, for the sheer fact that she doesn't really pop up in many titles anymore. Franchezca Valentina and Sasha Grey also seem to know how to expertly strum their own guitars, as it were.
Retailing: A better than average masturbate-a-thon from Quasarman.

ONe Major Issue
By Peter
from SC
Great mower with the exception of the deflector chute. The guy that decided not to hinge the deflector needs a job doing grass work. WHY would you attach a chute with a thumb bolt to make it necessary to remove and reinstall a chute to go through a 36 inch gate... a simple hinge would do wonders and make this mower soo much better. what were they thinking!!!

Comments about Gravely Pro-Stance 48 Stand On Mower:
After all the problems I had ( #1 screws of the blades constantly jamming and #2 cloth bag living tracks of grass all over the yards and jump of the frame, #3 problems with panic switch), the pro stand 48 is a good lawn mower. Least durable. The biggest problem is the lack of respect for the consumer, too much conversation thrown out by the seller before contacting you guys manufactiors ( GRAVELY). Most of the problems I mentioned I have to solve my self.

Top Notch!

from Brazil, IN
Comments about Gravely Pro-Stance 60 Stand On Mower:
Gravely has done their homework with the pro stance line-up. We have several 61" and a 36" stand ups and they are the best in the market. They are durable, provide a GREAT cut, and they hold hill sides excellent! They are balanced very well and the controls are super smooth. They handle a beating from us 5 days a week and hold up to our standards. I would strongly recommend checking them out!
Now is a great time to buy new Gravely commercial landscaping equipment. Professionals who work all day, every day count on The American Workhorse. You can too!

I'm developing for Android under Ubuntu 10.04 with Eclipse and also with Intellij Idea. If I deploy and debug on virtual devices everything is OK.
I would like to run my applications directly on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Therefore I plugged it to the USB port, switched on the "USB Debugging" in the Settings and I added a udev rule for the galaxy tab.
If i call ~/android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools/adb devices I get also the output, that my samsung galaxy tab is connected. The output is:
List of devices attached
1000abdb6248 device
Its also possible to connect to the logcat. If i call ./adb logcat I get the log from my galaxy tab.
I am sure, this is my galaxy tab. Because when I plug off the tab, this device disappears.
But unfortunately I do not see the device in Eclipse or Idea in the AVD Manager.
The "Choose Device" dialog is empty. But I am able to start virtual devices without problems.
Any idea how to run and debug application directly on the galaxy tab from the IDE?

The work was being done by a team of about 10 Real Journeys

Forums → Games → Halo? Put it here!
Yup, put your Halo shenanigans here folks. Help make a cleaner, greener forums!
halo to you too devoidless.
thanks for cleaning up the forums.
ok i love halo always have since it came out. I own all the halo games and a 360 limited edition controler. Oh i forgot to menchin an awesome master cheif bobble head
I thought the story for ODST was cool. Get to play as the Rookie 6 hours after the "fight" was over, then go back to when the fight was, well fought. I hate how the campaign was so VERY SHORT! It's cool play as the Rookie exploring the city, but it's TOO short. Good thing my friend bought it. I haven't played Firefight though, he wouldn't let us >:[.
yay finally, no more freaking halo threads! that was getting annoying, thanks dev
yay finally, no more freaking halo threads!
I played ODST for the first time Friday night, and it was pretty awesome. Firefight was amazingly fun, spend hours playing that. Ended up having to end though because it was really late, and my friend and I still had 10+ lives and weren't going to lose any time soon xP
Halo ODST is awesome and the firefight it also awesome. I also found secret spots on some maps that could be sweet sniping and ambush tactics that noone could shoot you from.

I want to play the new Halo 3:Reach. ODST =awesomeness
Yeahh! This was my idea and I take credit for it!
Though I'm sure it's been suggested many times.
*cuts self*
Yeahh! This was my idea and I take credit for it!
yoo i love halo series i have all the games and beat all of them but odst i have it i just need to beat it
No it was mine go to the suggestions and look at "halo only".
OK... but... uh... right... I... uh... knew about that! I was just testing you!
It's fun, but it doesn't really justify the price of ODST. If you've already got Halo 3, it's essentially just an extra campaign, which by the way really isn't very challenging.
my friend and I still had 10+ lives and weren't going to lose any time soon xP

What lurks beneath? Victoria's toxic challenge
When an excavator struck something hard in the soil of a Richmond building site in the mid 2000s, workers thought they'd hit a layer of basalt. In fact they'd exposed a century-old bluestone tar dump, a massive pit of toxic black sludge. The messy discovery triggered an even messier, multi-million legal battle that continues today over responsibility for decontamination of the former abattoir and council depot site.

MARSHFIELD -- A Marshfield man is being held on $100,000 cash bail after police armed with a search warrant allegedly found child pornography on his computer, prompting the man to stab himself in the neck before turning the kitchen knife on police.
Shawn Haddigan, 37, of 83 Sheridan Drive, is charged with two counts of possessing child pornography, distributing material of a nude child, resisting arrest and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Marshfield Police Lt. Paul Taber said Marshfield police detectives and Massachusetts State Troopers went to Haddigan's home at 6:45 a.m. Friday to execute a search warrant.
Taber said the warrant followed an investigation that started in November by Marshfield Police and the Digital Evidence Multimedia Section of the State Police.
"Marshfield Police attempted to have a discussion with (Haddigan) who ended up grabbing a kitchen knife and started to cut his neck," Taber said. "As the officers approached him he turned the knife on a trooper and a detective and he was wrestled to the floor."
Taber said Haddigan was put in restraints and Marshfield paramedics tended to the wound, which they determined at that time was superficial. No police officers were injured.
Haddigan was placed under arrest and taken to the police station, where he began to complain of pain. He was then taken to the hospital.
Taber said officers located child pornography during the initial analysis of Haddigan's networking equipment, or computers. The equipment was taken and additional analysis will be performed.
Haddigan is due back in court on June 4 for a pretrial hearing.

The 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Stormtroopers Were Inspired by Apple
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is introducing a whole new set of characters for the upcoming trilogy, including Finn, Rey, Kylo Ren and, most importantly, BB-8. It's also bringing back some old favorites like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and the Stormtroopers. Because the movie takes place 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, the looks for the new characters needed to be updated. We know Luke has a bushy new beard, Han Solo has visibly aged and the Stormtroopers have gotten a new look. But instead of looking older, the Stormtroopers look brand new, and that wasn't an accident. The new Star Wars costume designer says they were created to look like they were designed by Apple.

How does the Bell tire hold up to use? I don't see any reviews for the tire on here, pound on it for awhile and see if you can get a review made up. I'd try it if I didnt already do the tubeless setup. I dont have any decent backup tires for trail use, and since ChinaMart is closer than the LBS I wouldn't rule it out as a backup plan.
I've seen 1 or maybe 2- 29er tires on the shelf but never at the same time. I found it odd that WM doesn't carry presta tools/air gauges but yet they sell tubes with presta valves I got a pair of the Bell full finger gloves had to cut the thumb tip off due to seam rubbing.

AbstractResin transfer modling (RTM) offers many advantages over hadn lay-up of prepreg or wet filament winding in the production of advanced composites. Successful application of RTM requires complete resin infiltration of the molded dry fiber preform. Uncertainty in the resin infiltration process due to variance in preform permeabilities has resulted in long process development cycles. High rejection rates, and reduced scope of part configurations that can be processed using RTM. THis project will examine methods for in-situ monitoring, and control of resin flow will be developed and feasibility of the techniques will be demonstrated.

HIDALGO (November 3, 2011)--Police at a South Texas border crossing rescued a bound and gagged man from the trunk of a car headed for Mexico.
The incident happened early Tuesday at the Hidalgo border crossing, seven miles south of McAllen.
Police Capt. Robert Vela said an officer who was monitoring Mexico-bound traffic spotted a car driven by an unusually young male.
When he stopped the car, he heard a thumping noise coming from the trunk.
The driver was removed from the car and handcuffed.
When officers opened the trunk, they found a man who was gagged and whose arms and ankles were bound.
Vela said the man, who's a U.S. citizen, told officers he had been held captive for two to three days.
No one had reported him missing.
Police reports say the young male who was driving the car, who's also a U.S. citizen, was placed in juvenile detention.

Structural Determinants of Homicide: The Big Three

Building upon and expanding the previous research into structural determinants of homicide, particularly the work of Land, McCall, and Cohen (1990), the current paper introduces a multilevel theoretical framework that outlines the influences of three major structural forces on homicidal violence. The Big Three are poverty/low education, racial composition, and the disruption of family structure. These three factors exert their effects on violence at the following levels: neighborhood/community level, family/social interpersonal level, and individual level. It is shown algebraically how individual-level and aggregate-level effects contribute to the size of regression coefficients in aggregate-level analyses. In the empirical part of the study, the presented theoretical model is tested using county-level data to estimate separate effects of each of the Big Three factors on homicide at two time periods: 1950–1960 and 1995–2005 (chosen to be as far removed from one another as the availability of data allows). All major variables typically used in homicide research are included as statistical controls. The results of analyses show that the effects of the three major structural forces—poverty/low education, race, and divorce rates—on homicide rates in US counties are remarkably strong. Moreover, the effect sizes of each of the Big Three are found to be identical for both time periods despite profound changes in the economic and social situation in the United States over the past half-century. This remarkable stability in the effect sizes implies the stability of homicidal violence in response to certain structural conditions.

So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A new Kansas Department of Labor report shows that trends plaguing the Kansas economy for several months continued in February.
The department said today that the state lost 16,600 nonfarm jobs in February, or about 1.2 percent of the total. And the number of manufacturing jobs dropped over the year by about 11,400, or more than six percent.
Meanwhile, the number of jobless workers who filed their first claims for unemployment benefits rose dramatically. It was almost 24,000, more than double the figure for February 2008.
Unemployment was 6.2 percent. That was down from January's figure of 6.4 percent, but significantly higher than the 4 percent recorded in February 2008.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
Thanks for letting us know about your short position. You're not fooling anybody.
I am long, but manage to resist any temptation to exaggerate the upside potential. Best Buy should be going private soon and SPLS is in a better position than BBY.
SPLS doesn't have to chase AMZN. SPLS is the #2 e-retailer of the thousands of others. Apparently you believe we all will be either shopping at WalMart or buying online at AMZN. It doesn't work that way. There will always be competition.
This is a message board for people to exchange information and opinions. You are delusional if you believe your posts will affect the stock.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Short or Long the proof will be in the details revealed this week. Hedging your Long position may afford you an opportunity to recoup some of the monies you have lost....SPLS may be the second to Amazon, however in order to compete, based on their last earnings conference call, they have to evaluate their pricing since it doesn't compare to Amazon's. They have a difficult time differentiating themselves from Best Buy and you see where Best Buy is. Just sayin.

I've used it on a training site to provide exams for only those enrolled in each course.
Easy to manage and not as complicated as some..
If there are more than five stars I'd give it more than that, Thank you very much
I wonder why they don't include this already. It's so useful and most CMS out there have this capability. Great job! Thank you.
I tried several plugins of this type to manage roles and capabilities but this one is by far the easiest to use. Thank you so much Justin!
Does exactly what I want it to do, and easily.
Really useful and well coded plugin to manage users and roles.
The only reason I couldn't stretch to 5 stars was due to it not being supported by other plugins and having to use it in combination with the likes of Adminimize to get what I want.
Love the concept Justin and really hope it catches on with other developers.
Easy done
This plugin is the best I have found for securing a site with different roles. It is very intuitive and a great plugin, as is. However, a couple more features that would be great to see in future versions include:
1.) The ability to redirect all users in "non-priveleged" roles to a pre-setup page. The creator of this plugin helped me via his support site to do this outside of the plugin, but it would be nice for it to just be built into the plugin.
2.) The ability to protect all media files via the same Member rules. I'm still trying to figure this out outside of the plugin, but it would be great if non-priveleged users were restricted from viewing media files (such as pictures), even if they somehow got the direct URL from another priveleged user.
Thanks for such a great plugin!!!
Justin has created a base of code that allows you to easily incorporate robust membership/roles capabilities. Strong work!

All Blacks Omit Donald, Include Slade for Rugby Training Camp
New Zealand rugby selectors omitted Stephen Donald from a training squad ahead of the Tri-Nations, signaling the Chiefs' fly-half may miss out on a World Cup spot.
Donald, who's played 22 Tests for the All Blacks, wasn't among the 25-man list named for the first of two training camps as rival No. 10s Colin Slade and Aaron Cruden were included. Canterbury Crusaders and Auckland Blues players weren't considered because they qualified for the Super Rugby playoffs.
The camps, which will be held June 29-30 and July 5-6 in Wellington, are a "key part" of the All Blacks' preparations for the season and will give selectors the chance to asses players after a "demanding Super Rugby season," All Blacks coach Graham Henry said.
"These players are in contention for selection so we were keen to monitor their progress as well as further develop their skills," Henry said in a statement.
The All Blacks' Tri-Nations squad will be named July 10. The World Cup, hosted by New Zealand, starts Sept. 9.
Players invited to first camp:
Chiefs: Ben Afeaki, Hikawera Elliot, Richard Kahui, Brendon Leonard, Liam Messam, Mils Muliaina, Sitiveni Sivivatu.
Hurricanes: Aaron Cruden, Hosea Gear, Andrew Hore, Cory Jane, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith, Neemia Tialata, Victor Vito, Piri Weepu.
Highlanders: Jimmy Cowan, Tom Donnelly, Jarrad Hoeata, Colin Slade, Ben Smith, Adam Thomson.
