Both wrong figures. But ok.
You know of any better deals though? Id love to hear.
True. But then again i would never buy a GM product. Ever.

I love the plug-in! Its unique from others that I've tested in that you do have the option to place it on a page, not only in a post. It provides an extra layout option.
One question I had was whether there's any way to code in a self-refresh function so that as soon as a new photo gets posted to the online Instagram account, it's not only fed to one's website but in a running insta.Show slide-show, it pops into the slide show without requiring a manual page refresh to cue it.
One other tiny issue is that for some reason the slideshow window border doesn't display on the right side. So, a 2-3px wide line shows up on the other three sides, but not on the right. I've played with the CSS to increase margins, padding, and border thickness on the image box, but nothing seems to fix it...
Thanks for your work!

Chicken Called Safe, but Arsenic Study Raises Questions continued...
Only a tiny portion of this arsenic appears to be the cancer-causing inorganic form. But the FDA study was not able to detect all of the most harmful forms of arsenic. The study raises -- but does not answer -- the question of whether the chickens' digestive processes form toxic compounds "potentially more toxic than the parent compound."
In a statement, Pfizer notes that the FDA finds no imminent public health risk from eating chicken treated with 3-Nitro.
Pfizer also notes that the "extremely low level" of inorganic arsenic the FDA detected in the liver of a 3-Nitro-treated chicken "is equivalent to the amount of inorganic arsenic found in an eight-ounce glass of drinking water."
The National Chicken Council issued a statement saying, "Chicken is safe to eat. The Food & Drug Administration says it is NOT raising any alarms about consumption of chicken."
Chickens excrete arsenic compounds in their feces. Environmental groups have raised concern that runoff from chicken farms, as well as fertilizer made from chicken waste, may be polluting groundwater.
"Arsenic in chicken production poses a risk not only to human health, but to the environment," Consumer's Union senior scientist Michael Hansen, PhD, says in a news release. "Arsenic can end up in the manure from chicken coops and this is spread on agricultural land as fertilizer. Chicken coop floor waste is also routinely swept up and recycled as feed to cows on large-scale feedlots. We need to get arsenic out of food production altogether."
Some 90% of 3-Nitro is fed to chickens, although the drug is also approved for use in turkeys and in pigs.
Chickens sold as "antibiotic free" have not been fed arsenic-containing drugs.

Help support your Meetup
We are the North Florida Trailblazers, the local chapter of the Florida Trail Association (FTA). Our main purpose is to build and maintain sections of the Florida Trail (FT) in our chapter's area. Sections are located in the Osceola National Forest, along the Suwannee River near White Springs, Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park and Camp Blanding. When we are not working on the FT, we organize day hikes, backpacking, paddling, and other outdoor activities. We have chapter meetings, social events and other activities to promote hiking. We are using Meetup to reach people interested in hiking.
The FT, a 1300 mile trail that runs the length of Florida, is part of the National Scenic Trails system (includes the AT and the Continental Divide, for example). The FT is developed, maintained, protected and promoted by the FTA and its public and private partners.
We are not a social networking or dating group. We are here to support and maintain the FT and to promote hiking in general. But if you enjoy hiking and outdoors activities, you will certainly meet people with shared interests.
NOTE: Registration on this Meetup does not make you a member of the FTA. Some of our events will be offered only to FTA members. Go to www.floridatrail.org to join the FTA and learn more about our organization.

Sierra Madre de Oaxaca Pine-oak Forests Habitat
This taxon is found in the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca pine-oak forests, an ecoregion of northern Oaxaca, Mexico exhibiting a large number of endangered species, so that the conservation value is outstanding in terms of uniqueness of the habitat. The Sierra Madre de Oaxaca pine-oak forests is within the Tropical and Subtropical Conifer Forests biome, and the ecoregion is known for elevated plant endemism, especially within the Sierra de Juarez montane forests.
This ecoregion is located in northern Oaxaca State, and is delineated by the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca Mountains, which have characteristically abrupt and rugged topography. Its tallest peak is Zempoaltepetl (3400 metres), and most of the terrain in this area is above 1000 metres. Three mountain chains or sierras constitute the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca: Juarez, Aloapaneca and Zempoaltepec. The climate is temperate and humid with annual temperatures ranging from 16°C to 20°C. The annual mean precipitation varies greatly from 700 millimetres (mm) to as great as 4000 mm.
The forests also exhibit a high diversity of amphibians, including: the endemic Acultzingo Pigmy Salamander (Thorius dubitus EN), known only from the type locality near Puerto del Aire near Veracruz; the endemic Claw-toed False Brook Salamander (Pseudoeurycea unguidentis CR), known solely from Cerro San Felipe /Cerro San Luis in north-central Oaxaca; the endemic Lower Cerro Pygmy Salamander (Thorius pulmonaris EN), known only from Cerro San Felipe region, central Oaxaca; MacDougal's Pygmy Salamander (Thorius macdougalli VU); and the endemic Mexican Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum CR), found in Lakes Chalco and Xochimilco of the Valley of Mexico near Mexico City; the near-endemic Sierra Juarez Moss Salamander (Cryptotriton adelos EN); the endemic Schmidt's Pygmy Salamander (Thorius schmidti EN), known only from near the village of Zoquitlán in southern Puebla, Mexico; and the endemic Mustache False Brook Salamander (Pseudoeurycea mystax EN).
The Sierra Juarez Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus cryptus) is endemic to the ecoregion, and limited in range to drier parts of the Sierra de Juarez, in northeastern Oaxaca. There are a number of threatened reptilian taxa in the ecoregion including the Ribbon Graceful Brown Snake (Rhadinaea fulvivittis VU), a limited distribution snake endemic to southern Mexico.
Avian taxa found here include the Dwarf Jay (Cyanolyca nana EN), Bearded Tree Quail (Dendrortyx barbatus CR), Tamaulipas Pygmy-owl (Glaucidium sanchezi) and Grey-barred Wren (Campylorhynchus megalopterus) as restricted-range bird species, which includes this ecoregion. The Oaxaca Sparrow (Aimophila notosticta NT), Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia EN), Russet Nightingale-thrush (Catharus occidentalis), Hooded Yellowthroat (Geothlypis nelsoni), and Collared Towhee (Pipilo ocai) are also species which thrive in the habitats offered by this mountainous ecoregion.
This ecoregion presents a mosaic of vegetatative associations, due to the varied climate and topography. These formations include tropical evergreen forest, montane cloud forest, pine forest, pine-oak forest, and oak forest. The pine forests, at elevations between 1600 and 2600 metres (m), include trees that are 25 to 40 m tall. Dominant pine species are Mexican White Pine (Pinus ayacahuite); Lawson's Pine (P. lawsonii), a Mexican endemic; Chiapas White Pine (P. strobus var. chiapensischiapensis); Michoacan Pine (P. devoniana LR/LC) and Smooth-barked Mexican Pine (P. pseudostrobus). These pine forests have a robust understory and an herbacious layer dominated by numerous species of the Ericaceae family.

Pinus devoniana
Pinus devoniana is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found in Mexico - from S. Sinaloa to Chiapas - and Guatemala in montane, relatively open pine or pine-oak forests at altitudes from 900 to 2500 m.[1]
Pinus devoniana, which is locally called "Pino blanco", "Pino lacio" or "Pino prieto", is a tree of medium size, which can grow 20–30 m. tall, with a dbh to 80–100 cm. It has curved foliage twigs and very long needles, from 25–40 cm. in fascicles of 5. The cones, which grow solitary or in whorls of 2-4 on thick, short peduncles, leaving a few scales on the branch when falling, are usually large and often curved, 15–35 cm. long and 8–15 cm. wide when open.[2]
Pinus devoniana is closely related to Pinus montezumae (the Montezuma Pine).[3] These species are sometimes difficult to distinguish, while hybrids probably occur. The cones are especially variable. Overall, both foliage and cones are larger in Pinus devoniana.[4]

Capital of Alabama and rich in history, Montgomery is a Deep South city proudly putting its past on display. Visitors can see the First White House of the Confederacy, the Civil Rights Memorial and Center and Freedom Rides Museum. Montgomery has other attractions to enjoy including parks, art galleries, shopping centers and annual events such as birthday celebrations for Hank Williams and F. Scott Fitzgerald. A relaxing way to see and enjoy Montgomery's sites is with a ride on Harriott II, as of 2011 Montgomery's only riverboat offering sightseeing cruises on the Alabama River.
Docked at Montgomery's Riverwalk Amphitheater, Harriott II is 96 feet long, has three decks and can carry 400 passengers. It was built in 1981 as a replica of a 19th-century riverboat. Harriott II was refurbished in 2009 and now cruises the Alabama River offering sightseeing, dining, live entertainment and specialty cruises.
Public Cruises
Harriott II offers four public cruises. The Scenic Lunch Time Cruise lasts one hour each first and third Wednesday, with a menu of sandwich wraps, pasta salad and chips. More substantial fare on the two-hour Friday evening Dinner Cruise includes meat, vegetables, salad and dessert, complemented by a cash bar and live entertainment. Passengers who want to cruise without eating can sit on the riverboat's patio for live entertainment and the cash bar. Patio passengers pay a lower ticket price. Saturdays, Harriott II has a Get Away Cruise that lasts 90 minutes. Passengers can enjoy concessions, a cash bar and live entertainment. Music lovers can board Harriott II's Blues Cruise, which sails on Sunday evenings for 90 minutes.
Specialty Cruises
Harriott II has a one-hour educational cruise available Monday through Friday appropriate for all ages. Lunch is included. Groups should make advanced reservations. Specialty cruises such as Disco Night can include hors d'oeuvres and live entertainment. Harriott II is available for custom, private cruises. Passengers should contact the Harriott II's offices to arrange special event cruising.
Before You Go
Passengers should buy tickets two days in advance to ensure the cruise has not sold out and to make sure staff has enough food available. The ship requires at least 35 passengers to sail. Cruises with fewer than 35 customers may be canceled and passengers will receive an alternate cruise date. Prices vary depending on passenger age and type of cruise. As of 2011, Harriott II passengers can expect to pay $14 and up for a cruise.

Hermes Shares Decline in Paris After LVMH Denies Bid Plans
Hermes International SCA dropped the most in six months in Paris trading after LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA last night denied it planned to bid for the shares of the Birkin bag maker that it doesn't already own.
LVMH may be preparing to bid 350 euros ($505.79) a share for Paris-based Hermes, the Daily Mail reported yesterday, without saying where it got the information, sending the shares up as much as 4.6 percent. The stock fell as much as 11.40 euros, or 5.9 percent, to 180.55 euros today, the steepest drop since Dec. 3. It traded at 183.05 euros as of 10:23 a.m.
LVMH, which has accumulated a 20.2 percent stake in Hermes since October, has no intention of bidding for its rival, a company spokesman said last night, echoing comments made by LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Arnault, who has called LVMH's investment "peaceful."
"From the outset, we understood that there was no possibility of controlling Hermes because the family shareholders spoke for 70 percent of the company," LVMH deputy chairman Pierre Gode said May 30 at Hermes's shareholder meeting. "Our sole objective was, and remains, to make a long-term investment in a company with recognized potential and with which we share a passion for high-quality workmanship."
Hermes's founding family plans to retain control of the company and wants LVMH to reduce its stake by more than half to free shares on the open market, Bertrand Puech, who heads the family's holding company, said in a February interview. Even if LVMH doesn't reduce the holding, nothing will change regarding the running of Hermes, Puech said at the time.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:38.
Courses taught by Jane Hutton
06327: Material Ecologies Workshop (SCI 0632700)
Landscape Architecture
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Wednesday 8:30 - 11:30 Gund 318
Jane Hutton
Course Description
Landscapes are shaped by continuous flows of materials and energy driven by anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic forces. Designers participate in this reorganization of materials around the globe, the great majority of which is bound for varying periods of time as urban parks, buildings, and highways. In landscape architecture, these materials range from abiotic to biotic composition, from simple to complex manufacturing processes, and from local to distance sources. While materials are selected for ecological, structural, and aesthetic performance characteristics desired for a particular designed site, their production is linked to a network of distant forests, quarries, and factories. Through material specification, designers inadvertently transform remote landscapes, concealed and abstracted through the commodification of natural resources. While typically peripheral to the discipline's purview, the embedded landscapes, energy, and social relations of material extraction, production, use, and cycling, are urgently needed to re-conceptualize the present and future of landscape construction. This seminar aims to expand the consideration of materials in design beyond a single-state, incorporating multi-scalar, socio-metabolic lenses to better grasp the scope of material practice for design. The course simultaneously examines theories and metrics associated with material use and evaluation, including urban metabolism, materialism, material life cycles, embedded energy, and labor relations, through spatial and temporal frameworks. Student research projects will parallel course themes through an in-depth study of a single material stream, from material properties to material life cycle trajectories to diachronic studies of changing metabolic phases over the past century. Structured as a collaborative research workshop, the course is driven by reading discussions, lectures, and site and archival research, and will draw from the GSD Materials Collection in the Loeb Design Library. The course is relevant to landscape architects, architects, and other designers interested in the ecological potentials and expansive effects of material practice.

By Ms. Eva J Bush (AMC)November 23, 2007
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. - Eighteen U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center scientists and engineers recently were presented the 2007 Army research and development achievement award during brief ceremonies held at Picatinny Arsenal, N.J. and Watervliet Arsenal, N.Y.
The award is presented annually to a select group of individuals whose outstanding achievements have significantly advanced Army capabilities and contributed to the national defense. The 18, ten from Picatinny and eight from Watervliet's Benet Weapons Laboratory, are among 96 Army researchers recognized for their distinguished work.
The Benet team of Wayland P. Barber, Robert L. Cooley, Edward W. Holmes and David C. Smith received the award for developing a new breech loaded 120mm mortar cannon. The new weapon, dubbed the XM325, incorporates a brand new design that is significantly lighter than any similar system in the world. The XM325 also is uniquely different than its predecessors, because it uses devices for firing existing 120mm ammunition.
Christopher J. Aiello, Daniel L. Cler, Christopher M. Smith and Stephen M. VanDyke-Restifo, also from Benet, were honored for developing the 155mm XM324 cannon assembly. An extremely lightweight device, the XM324 is designed for automatic, unmanned operation. One of its unique features is its use of electric breech actuation, laser ignition and a propellant retention device.
Three Picatinny-based teams also received the award.
Dr. Ernest L. Baker, Stanley DeFisher and Nausheen Al-Shehab were recognized for developing a venting process for warheads that prevents catastrophic explosion caused by fires. The technology prevents warheads from exploding when exposed to fire and is another step forward in efforts to make Army munitions completely insensitive to accidental detonation and extreme fire.
Dr. Reddy Damavarapu, Sanjeev Singh and Dr. Rao Surapaneni from Picatinny also received the award for developing and synthesizing a new melt cast explosive ingredient which is insensitive yet more powerful than TNT and RDX. Picatinny-site employees Patricia Alameda, Thomas Coradeschi, Robert Pinto and Gregory Schneck were honored for developing the Army's first suitcase-sized, portable digital fire control system that works with any current artillery and mortar system, particularly Excalibur.
David J. Shaffer, deputy to the commander of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, presented the awards at respective ceremonies at each location.

What is the clean energy bank and why is it in Waxman-Markey
While the climate title in Waxman-Markey is certainly unnecessarily weak as is the renewable energy standard, the bill has many other terrific provisions (see "The triumph of energy efficiency" and "Toolbox Assessment" of Waxman-Markey"). One of those is the Clean Energy Deployment Administration. The Center for American Progress, long a champion of such a clean energy bank, has a primer I am reposting.
The Green Bank, or Clean Energy Deployment Administration, is a key element of proposed clean-energy policies. The Green Bank would provide more favorable terms to companies""including lower interest rates and a lower cost of debt""to offset the high cost of financing new renewable energy projects through the private sector. This new financing system will spark the clean-energy transformation and accelerate the cost-effective, large-scale deployment of renewable energies. It would help fund the transition to a clean-energy economy while making renewable energy production competitive with current electricity prices and keeping consumer prices low by facilitating the flow of private capital into renewable energy and efficiency projects. Most importantly, the Green Bank will use its partnerships with the private sector to provide the capital investment and financial security that is critical to the long-term viability of the clean-energy economy.
Why do we need a Green Bank?
The Green Bank would address the following issues:
- The ongoing credit crunch.
- Job losses in the manufacturing, construction, and financial sectors of the economy.
- The need for large-scale, predictable financing for clean energy.
- The lack of scalable and standardized finance models for existing energy-efficient technologies.
- The risk resulting from fluctuating fossil fuel prices.
How would a Green Bank work?
CAP Action proposes that the Green Bank would:
- Be structured as a public, non-profit entity wholly owned by the U.S. government with independent funding and flexibility in financing decisions.
- Take a portfolio approach to investing in projects, targeting projects across the spectrum of relative risk and limiting investment in any single technology.
- Select projects competitively based on greenhouse gas reductions and avoidance, and prioritize projects that provide the fastest, cheapest, cleanest reduction in greenhouse gases and oil use""projects that today face market barriers in accessing debt financing or credit enhancement.
A version of the Green Bank is included in the American Clean Energy and Security Act, H.R.2454, which the House is scheduled to vote on next week. It would establish a Clean Energy Deployment Administration within the Department of Energy. Representative John Dingell (D-MI) offered the amendment, which was crafted with the assistance of Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Bart Gordon (D-TN). It contains restrictions intended to limit funding of nuclear power plants.
The energy bill pending in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee also includes a CEDA provision. And Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) introduced a bill, H.R. 1698, to create an independent Green Bank separate from DOE. Its board would include the Secretaries of Energy, Interior, and Treasury, and Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Is the Green Bank economically feasible?
Questions of cost and financial viability are of the utmost importance in today's economic climate. The Green Bank will ultimately prove to be a catalyst for economic recovery; it will leverage public and private capital, encourage businesses to invest again, and help to re-open credit markets by partnering with the private sector and facilitating responsible and diverse investment strategies.
The Coalition for a Green Bank estimates that $50 billion of initial capital could enable the Green Bank to support up to $500 billion in loans over 20 years. This, matched with equity investments, could ultimately translate into $1 trillion worth of clean-energy investments.

Will the government ever sell green energy bonds? There are millions of Americans who want to put their money where their other small daily carbon footprint actions are.
Banks lend based on actual revenue and collateral. For a loan, it is common to require 3 years audited financial statements. These of course in red depict "forward looking statements and forecasts" as not to be relied on. This is common for bank examiners to look at the audits. I keep utilities in my portfolio. They pay reliable dividends. The dotcoms bubble got around revenue and collateral by issuing penny stocks. GE Finance is an example of commercial lending to customers of GE products.
First, a question with a "Green Bank" in both the Senate and House version of the climate change bill — does it ensure that it will make it in the final version of the bill, the one signed into law by President Obama?
It also seems that there's a lot of private venture capital money flowing into the sector, most have a short/medium-term investment approach (five years- max), but the clean energy investment cycle requires more time. In this context the government seems to be the only entity able to be a viable long, long-term investor.
We want to make sure the clean energy bank is specific to energy technologies that are truly clean and renewable (please no nukes!). Standardized finance models are a long overdue piece of the energy efficiency 'conundrum'.
Would someone please show me how "clean/green" energy is federally defined. Since we are seeing the planning buildup of dozens of new atomic fission plants (an industrial scheme rejected by investors in the US decades ago) and the possibility of expansion of electric generation through fossil based gas, there seems to be manipulation of terminology and agendas. We may end up with the credit default swaps of "safe atomic fission, clean coal and fossil gas." Then the future will be more over than already projected by climate catastrophes because we will have spent our capital, or what's left of it and US credit.
Anyone can read the bill at
It may be 932 pages, but all of it is double spaced, w/ narrow columns of about 10 words/line.
Dull, but accessible.
For commenters above.
To read the relevant amendment (Dingell, Inslee, Gordon, 40 pages), see:
Or, for the whole bill as currently amended, see:
I find this assessment of W-M persuasive:
"China and the developing world are watching the US to see if it is serious about combatting climate change. Waxman-Markey, the bill and the legislative process, sends a clear signal: not very. A leaky, easily subverted bill where if everything goes right – getting through Congress without being further watered down and then expertly administered over a long introductory period – there will be maybe a 4-7% reduction in emissions from 1990 levels by 2020. Not a strong, positive signal."
This raises the question of when someone is going to be savvy enough to add the "Architecture 2030" Plan to the climate bill. Architecture 2030 is a group of prominent architecture, engineering, and building firms, backed by the American Institute of Architects, major banks, and others, that are pushing a Plan to help restart the severely depressed housing construction industry.
Their Plan is a very simple proposal to leverage hundreds of billions of dollars of private investment by using $30 Billion to pay for substantial mortgage interest buydowns for the purchase of new homes, or remodel of existing homes. To qualify, the new home or remodel would need to meet greatly improved energy standards, so this not only jump starts the housing sector but moves it quickly into better building practices:
As the housing sector began the recession and no effective help has yet come its way, the Architecture 2030 Plan is not just a climate & energy proposal, it is a very powerful stimulus to move us out of this recession. The residential construction industry currently has about 20% unemployment.
Most legislators know that in order to get something controversial passed, it is necessary to have something in the bill that clearly helps people. Where do we see this in the Waxman-Markey bill in any way the public can identify?
Adding the Architecture 2030 Plan would include in the Bill the separate "Housing Stimulus Bill" originally promised at the time the massive $787 Billion Stimulus Bill was passed. No "Housing Stimulus Bill" ever materialized, and the main stimulus bill did next to nothing for the construction industry.
The housing sector is still waiting and people are out of work and desperate. Add the Architecture 2030 Plan to the Bill and you will give a lot of wavering Representatives and Senators a "reason to vote for the Bill".

Category talk:Research support companies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why create this category?[edit]
I was at a loss as to where to usefully categorize a company such as Cellomics whose primary mission is to design, manufacture and sell complex technology platforms for the conduct of biological research; or Fisher Scientific whose primary mission is to sell 3rd party manufactured goods for the conduct of biological research. I think the name is a little cumbersome, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate name that would not also include contract research organizations, whose primary mission is to conduct research on behalf of a customer rather than provide information and material to a customer in order to facilitate said customers' own research.

I recently learned about strong induction, and had a couple questions. First, on sites such as this one: http://www.mathblog.dk/strong-induction/ , it is said that using strong induction requires more bases case. (This makes sense to me, as you are making a bigger claim) When I asked my professor, though, he said there are no more base cases needed. In this light, I don't see why anyone would ever go through the effort of even attempting 'weak' induction, as it is included in strong induction, and no extra steps of work are needed-only a larger assumption.
Strong induction is the following:
Weak induction is the following:
Usually, it is considered more elegant to assume the least amount of things possible. So if you can finish your work by using only weak induction, it is preferred. As you pointed out, you could use strong induction instead of weak induction all the time.

BOSTON (AP) - The Alabama university professor suspected in the triple slaying of three colleagues is a cousin of novelist John Irving.
Amy Bishop told a friend she hoped the connection would help her publish her three novels, which she viewed as a way out of the frustrations of her university job.
Rob Dinsmoor, who was in a writer's group north of Boston with Bishop, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Irving is a cousin of Bishop's mother. The relationship was first reported by The Boston Globe and confirmed to the AP by a spokeswoman for Irving's publisher, Random House.
Dinsmoor said Bishop told him Irving gave her advice on writing and finding an agent.
Among Irving's best-known books are "The World According to Garp," "A Prayer for Owen Meany" and "The Cider House Rules."

A few years ago, if you wanted performance in a small but practical package, a hot hatchback was just the ticket. Today, that's not your only option; as car makers create ever more niche products, you can get your driving thrills in all kinds of shapes.
The latest arrival is the Nissan Juke Nismo. The quirky small crossover has proven a hit with buyers in standard form, and now Nissan's performance division has worked its magic on the car, in terms of looks and ability. The five-door is powered by a 197bhp 1.6-litre turbo, while sporty add-ons inside and out give it a racy edge.
Another car that combines practicality with a performance package is the Hyundai Veloster. While the flagship Turbo SE tested here isn't quite as powerful as the Nissan, a wider and lower stance should help it in corners. It's not a full five-door like the Juke, but has a single rear door to boost versatility. So which of our quirky duo makes more sense as a fun but practical sports car?
These cars are intriguing alternatives for buyers who don't want to go with the hot hatch norm. However, while both are sporty enough to stand out from their respective ranges, they don't quite set the world alight when compared to traditional pocket rockets like the Ford Fiesta ST or Peugeot 208 GTi.
The Hyundai Veloster Turbo has an edge over the Nissan thanks to its tidy handling and added practicality, but those looks are an acquired taste. Also, the engine's linear, muted power delivery means you don't get the rush of excitement that marks out a great performance car.
The Juke Nismo's driving experience is compromised, the ride is firm and there's less space inside than in the Veloster, but it has enough sporty touches to cancel out these disadvantages. Its exterior updates aren't overdone, while the suede-effect trim on the steering wheel and upholstery gives the Juke a premium feel that the Hyundai can't come close to matching.
Add in performance and running costs that are similar to or slightly better than the Veloster Turbo's, and the Juke Nismo pulls out a slight advantage over its rival here. The Nissan then tops this off with a list price that's £1,725 cheaper than the Hyundai's. As a result, it takes a narrow victory in this test.

Book iPhone Apps
What is a Books iPhone App?
Book apps are simply the information that was once committed to the page now presented in a digital format. These apps range from the classical works of great writers to poetry, religious texts, self-help, non-fiction, fiction, comic books and children's and young adult stories. Books apps have a reader built into them but there are also reader programs that link to websites where you can download popular titles. There are also library organizers to help you track what you've got in your existing library of physical books.
Book iPhone Apps Review : What to Look For
The capabilities of the iPhone/iPod touch are leveraged in several ways in Books apps. Utilizing the accelerometer allows you to read text in landscape or portrait orientation. The beautiful display is easy on the eyes so the screen doesn't cause eye-strain problems when reading for long periods of time and the multitouch interface makes it easy to flip through the book's "pages" with a finger swipe. One of the most obvious missing elements is the tactile sensation of holding a book and feeling its weight and the texture of the paper. After reading several "ebooks" we've come to the conclusion that if the book's content is compelling and the interface is smooth, you won't miss the physical aspects nearly as much as you might think.
Electronic Books app features range from the ability to change the display's color scheme to adjusting font size and type to the more involved options such as highlighting important passages or looking up words in a dictionary. Because of the digital nature of the app and the iPhone, Books apps can include illustrations, hyperlinks and even animated images and sounds.
In order for the technology of an electronic book to not be distracting to the reading experience the interface, or method of interacting with the book, should be smooth and intuitive. There shouldn't be any hesitation moving from page to page or finding the Settings to adjust the color scheme.
The graphics in a Books app can range from illustrations in a child's book to graphs and diagrams in a technical manual to the icons used within the program to identify different processes. Regardless of the type of location, the graphics should be clear, easily understood and professionally rendered.
Stability in any app is important. If the app crashes often, freezes your device or loads information too slowly you won't use it. That being said, the app should load quickly, run smoothly and include zero glitches.
Program Size
How much memory an Books app requires varies depending on how much the program includes. Some apps use only a few MB of space, some much more. This isn't too critical unless you are close to running out of room on your device.
Most Books apps have decent support usually in the form of a FAQs page on the developer's website or at the very least an email to send support questions and suggestions to. A good Books reader app should have a much more in-depth support system including the previously mentioned email and FAQs as well as forums, help sites and tutorials to help you maximize your electronic book reading experience.
Book apps will make sure you're never without a good read. We recommend you start out with a standalone book to test the experience but you'll eventually want to add a reader app. It will be a valuable addition to your iPhone or iPod touch.

Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest protected area. It is bisected into two parts by the Mighty River Nile, the second longest river in the world. The park is one of the best african destinations for sightseeing, nature retreats, camping and game viewing.
The park was named after the mighty Murchison falls where the Nile, the longest river in the world, is forced through a narrow gap in the rock (only 7 meters wide), before ferociously plunging down 43 meters.
This is one is one of the most spectacular National Parks in Uganda, and indeed in the whole of Africa. It is the largest game park in the country with an area of 3,840 sq.km. and has the most intense concentration of animals along River Nile. Here is the awe-inspiring Murchison Falls, where the River Nile hurls itself in an appalling convulsion through a narrow crevice and then plunges 40 metres in one breathtaking leap.
With Karuma falls at the far East of the park, the Nile cascades over 23 kilometres of rapids to the Murchison Falls in an awesome sight. This is some of the most exciting white water in Africa.
A launch trip up stream to the falls is one of the great experiences in Africa. Elephant, hartebeest, giraffe, buffalo, crocodiles and countless antelope and birds (including the rare Shoebill stork) can be admired at the water's edge as the launch glides along.
The Murchison Falls Park, with its variety of vegetation ranging from riparian forests and swamp lands to broad Savannah, provides the opportunity of seeing many of the animals found in Uganda.
In the southern section of the park is the beautiful Rabongo Forest, home to several families of chimpanzees and other primates. Make sure you have plenty of film for your camera, although they are difficult to spot in the thick canopy above.
What to do when in the park
Launch Cruise:
The launch trip on the Nile from Paraa to the foot of Murchison Falls to the substructure of the mighty Murchison falls where sinister water escapes from the narrow gorge, an opportunity to see the amazing hippos, crocodiles, water birds along the river banks enabling a wonderful birding safari in search for birds like the rare shoebill, fish eagles, cormorants, herons, bee-eaters and kingfishers.
Game Drives:
View Elephants, Buffaloes, Bushbucks, Lions, Giraffes, elephants and a variety of bird species.
Forest walk:
The walk at Kaniyo Pabidi in search for Chimpanzees is the most famous activity in the park. You will also see many forest birds, including the puvel's illadopsis and the white-thigh hornbill found nowhere else in East Africa, the chocolate-backed kingfisher, cormorants, herons and many more.
Sport Fishing:
At the top of Murchison Falls, the Victoria Nile explodes through a 6 -meter gap, causing the very rock to shake – quite literally. This phenomenon is said to be the most powerful natural flow of water anywhere on Earth. Can you imagine the strength and size of the Nile Perch, which can withstand such a force, which exists at the foot of this perpetual avalanche of water!
Nature Walks:
Animals, birds and plants can be viewed and observed on foot, while enjoying the calmness of nature.
Top of the Fall Trail:
Guests can hike to the top of the falls, and experience the mighty Murchison falls.
Getting there
By road, it is a 3-hour drive from Kampala to Masindi, 217 km on tarmac and 40 km on high-grade murram, then an additional 2 hours (97 km) from Masindi to the Falls on murram. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is advisable.
The Park can also be reached by air charter services. Pakuba airstrip on the northern sector and Bugungu airstrip on the Southern sector make it ideal for charter services to the park.
Where to stay when in Murchison falls
There is a campsite at the top of the Falls, which can be used by those with their own camping gear. Contact UNP for reservations and current rates.
The riverside Nile Safari Camp is said to be one of the most romantic lodges in the world. Accommodation is in beautifully designed waterside log cabins each with its own internal tent, terrace, toiletry and outside shower. There is an al fresco restaurant and small gift shop. Watching a stunning sunset from the friendly bar is a must.
In an elevated position on the northern side of the river, guests at the Paraa Safari Lodge benefit from simply massive views. This historic lodge which, before its restoration, was host to many dignitaries is now central to Paraa reclaiming its former glory. The site, service and ambience, which so impressed Britain's Queen Mother, is being recreated to great effect for the enjoyment of modern tourists. Each room has full facilities and a remarkable view. There is an impressive restaurant, swimming pool and bar.
The Sambiya River Lodge presents a unique African experience. A traditionally designed thatched hotel is surrounded by thatched bungalows, all in a very special setting.

text: The mall sits right on the state line, and it actually started with the police searching downtown and finding a dead body. They located the car, followed it, and ended up at the mall. It did not start there, and yes, the story will continue to change. This mall is not that busy, not sure where that came from, once boomed, but like most malls today, going down hill. I am from this area, so should be interesting how it all pans out.

The Worcester County sheriff's Office says that the hole was first reported at 12:50 p.m. yesterday afternoon. The State Highway Administration has laid a steel plate over the hole until it can be permanently patched. SHA spokesman Charlie Gischlar told the Salisbury Daily Times that sinkholes near the water are not uncommon. He said the constant rising tides produce a great deal of erosion over time.

I was following the directions in a great post when I got to the step for selecting the name of the script to run. I have VB code in ThisOutlookSession, but for some reason, the name of the procedure does not appear in the "Select Script" box. I can step through the code in debug mode, so it seems to be syntactically correct. What can be causing it to hide?
You probably have the wrong parameters in the script. Are you just passing in a MailItem? e.g.
Once you've compiled it (Debug|Compile), it should show up in Outlook rules as an option. Note that if the parameters are wrong (i.e. you don't pass in just a MailItem) then it won't appear.

Dear Charles, I do hope these feeling that you have inside subside before the end of the season, because it can be very harmful to keep anger and resentment bottled up.

I am working on a website with Jquery Mobile. My title is aligned center of the menu as in the image above:
My CSS for the green border is:
border: 2px solid lime;
And the HTML:

Home
What I want is the title to span full width (relative to the current width of the window), but still be centered, as the pink lines in following image:
Any idea how to achieve this without breaking the Jquery Mobile layout (such as device-width for different target devices)?
margin-right: 1% !important;
margin-left: 1% !important;
It seems to work in my case (even though the title gets behind the button if the window is small enough).
No work-around with surrounding div or changing CSS styles, such as margins, solved the issue with header getting too wide on some devices. I guess that's why the title is so small, to fit all devices properly. I had no time to test this for hours, so I eventually gave up and went back to the default layout, and just made sure the title was narrow enough.

When it comes to NoSQL, there are bewildering number of choices to select a specific NoSQL database as is clear in the NoSQL wiki.
In my application I want to replace mysql with NOSQL alternative. In my application I have user table which has one to many relation with large number of other tables. Some of these tables are in turn related to yet other tables. Also I have a user connected to another user if they are friends.
I do not have documents to store, so this eliminates document oriented NoSQL databases. I want very high performance. The NOSQL database should work very well with Play Framework and scala language. It should be open source and free.
So given above, what NoSQL database I should use?

Thursday, 28 Nov 2013 04:58 PM
The move raises the stakes in a standoff with the United States, Japan and South Korea over the zone. Japan and South Korea sent their own military aircraft through the air space on Thursday.
The Chinese patrol mission was "a defensive measure and in line with international common practices," said Shen Jinke, a spokesman for China's air force, in the Xinhua article.
By the end of the day, Chinese media were reporting that Japan was the "prime target" of Beijing's newly declared air defense zone, calling for "timely countermeasures without hesitation" if Tokyo defies it.
However, other countries which have sent military aircraft into the air defense identification zone (ADIZ), including the United States and South Korea, should be largely ignored, the Global Times said.
Ties between China and Japan have been strained for months by the dispute over the islands in the East China Sea, called the Diaoyu by China and the Senkaku by Japan. The islands are currently under Japanese administrative control.
China last week unilaterally announced that foreign aircraft - including passenger aircraft - passing over the islands would have to identify themselves to China.
Earlier this week, Washington sent two unarmed B-52 bombers through the airspace without first informing Beijing, a sign of support for its ally Japan.
Although there are risks of a confrontation in the defense zone, U.S. and Chinese military officials have stepped up communication with each other in recent years and are in regular contact to avoid accidental clashes breaking out.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden is visiting China, Japan and South Korea next week, and will try to diffuse tensions over the issue, senior U.S. administration officials said.
U.S. officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday's Chinese flight, which Xinhua described as "normal air patrols" in the new air defense zone Beijing has declared.
The article said China's air force is "on high alert and will take measures to deal with diverse air threats to firmly protect the security of the country's airspace."
