This globe contains a wealth of information about what could be a dry topic for children. Its interactivity and attractiveness make it something that children actually enjoy playing with and by extension learning from. Although it says 8 to adult, it was purchased for a 4 1/2 year old. She does not know that she is too young for it. She also enjoys competing with the older kids in answering questions.
I bought two of these for my twin 8 year old boys and they LOVE them. You just tap on a country and they can find out so much information on it. It really makes learning geography fun.
Purchased this product after reading many reviews. Did not disappoint. Figured the kids could learn in a fun way...turns out me and the hubby have just as much fun competing!
I have two ten year old grandkids and they loved these. I purchased two and the kids had to fight the grown-ups off of these. they are great fun and very useful. Good value.
This product is not only fun and interesting for the kids but also fun for the whole family of all ages. Made learning fun and excited to use.
This is a great product. The whole family likes learning from it.
Great educational tool.
I was on the hunt for a Birthday present for my wonderful 6 year old nephew who is fortunate enough to be in a home where he can have nice things. It makes it hard for those far away to find something new and exciting for him though. This came up on a secret sale - I thought - hmmm, it's not video, it's not Transformers or GI Joe, let's give it a try. For the first time in years, I received calls from every member of the family - on their own about how great this globe is. They were having so much fun trying to race to find countries and my nephew was reciting facts - "Did you know that...." Such a great hit, that they bought one for their cousin for Christmas. So, this was truly a great call.
We got this for our son for Christmas. He loves it. It has a lot of interesting information. My son got the biggest kick out of the comparison features and distance features. He's not quite old enough for some of the games yet, but they seem to be very educational and fun as well.
I recommend this product for anyone with kids or adults ready to learn more about the world. My 4 year old loves learning about new countries that is why we got it. The flat world map just did not do it for him anymore. Get a 6V AC adapter for it. It will save on all the c batteries needed.
I brought this globe for my five year old grandson for christmas,but my son who is 44years of age enjoyed it more than my grandson.I also enjoyed it also. The price was great and the globe is colorful and a world of information.Every child should have one.Walmart price was the best,
My son is 7 years old and has really been into Geography lately. He has only had his globe for 2 days and he probably knows a lot more about the world than I do! He has informed me that although Russia is bigger, China has more people...not bad for a 1st grader!
Its more like a game than school work. The kids love the music part the world has some funny music. My four year old knows where Brazil is!! There are games and other things to play or it just names the countries or continents. It's really cool.
I travel internationally a lot, and this is great to show my 5 yr old girl where I am going. Would love to see a version the focuses on the states capitals of the US. Seen this feature on another globe as an additional pull out tray.
This globe is uncomplicated and easy to use. We opened it up and started playing with it right away. Lots of fun for our 10 year old.
This was an educational toy that all the adults enjoyed playing christmas morning!!

Proteas pummel hosts in rain-hit match
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
South Africa won World Twenty20 Group C with a 32-run thumping of Sri Lanka in a seven-over game at Hambantota.
AB de Villiers' 13-ball 30 lifted the Proteas to an imposing 74 for four, which the hosts never threatened in stumbling to 46 for five as Dale Steyn returned 2-10.
With both sides having beaten Zimbabwe to qualify for the Super Eights where their pools were predestined, South Africa's victory matters little other than building their momentum.
Persistent rain threatened a washout but the toss was finally possible and de Villiers opted to set a target. Each side showed one change with Francois du Plessis in for Robin Peterson and Rangana Herath replacing Ajantha Mendis, whose side strain meant he could not add to six scalps in the tournament opener.
Dilshan Munaweera's stunning catch, running back from mid-on, gave Nuwan Kulasekara Richard Levi's wicket in the first over and his opening partner, Hashim Amla, was stumped off Herath for 16 having hit three fours.
De Villers cross-batted Herath and Lasith Malinga for sixes before chipping the latter to mid-off. Immediately after du Plessis had holed out to long-off, JP Duminy struck Thisara Perera for four and six to end the innings.
Mahela Jayawardene got going with a lofted off-side four but next ball Tillakaratne Dilshan was narrowly run out when wicketkeeper de Villiers dived to take a relay from extra-cover and break the stumps. Jayawardene holed out to deep square-leg off Steyn in the second over.
Kumar Sangakkara was twice dropped, first by du Plessis running back from point and then by Albie Morkel who could not hold a steepling chance at midwicket, but did not profit much as he was soon caught behind for 13 off Jacques Kallis.
Steyn had Perera held at midwicket and it was three wickets in as many overs when Munaweera located deep cover off Albie Morkel to fall for 13 in the last. That Lahiru Thirimanne was then shelled at short third man mattered little.

In almost poetic fashion, the 52nd Mac Tools U.S. Nationals at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis dished up a heady combination of drama, excitement, and perhaps in a larger sense, major servings of irony and historical mile markers.
This year, the "Big Go" offered size and substance.
In 1996, Tony Schumacher made his Top Fuel debut at Indy and it was a Labor Day weekend the sport will never forget. In qualifying, Blaine Johnson -- a future champion to be sure -- was killed on the pass that awarded him the No. 1 slot. Schumacher qualified 16th and would have raced Johnson in Round 1. Instead, Schumacher staged his race car in the opening round beside an empty lane and his emotions were at such an extreme level, he wasn't able to engage both fuel pumps on his Peek brothers-owned dragster and idled down the track.
"Everyone thought that I chose to just slowly drive down the track as a tribute to Blaine," said Schumacher, when asked about that memorable moment. "But the fuel pump malfunctioned and I took it as a sign not to make a full pass. I think Blaine would have wanted me to go all out, but I chose to play it safe."
On Monday, on the 10th anniversary of that tragic weekend, Schumacher won the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals for the fifth time in the last seven years, tuned by Blaine Johnson's older brother, Alan. The irony of their joint accomplishment is inescapable.
Schumacher dedicated his fifth U.S. Nationals win to Blaine. The significance of his Indy successes can be summarized best by the fact that only one Top Fuel racer has won the sport's biggest race more times: "Big Daddy" Don Garlits, the greatest drag racer in NHRA history, who has eight Indy trophies.
"There are a lot of reasons to win races -- the fans, your sponsors, the championship chase, whatever -- but today we raced for Blaine," said Schumacher, the first nitro category driver this season to win from the No. 1 qualifying position. "My first Indy race was 10 years ago and I would've raced him in the first round if he hadn't died. To come back now and win with Alan as my crew chief, it was meant to be. This trophy is going on the Johnson family mantle. That's where it belongs."
In Funny Car, 13-time POWERade champion John Force appeared locked and loaded to win his fifth U.S. Nationals title after taking the $100,000 payoff on Sunday in the Skoal Showdown and scoring the No. 1 qualifying position. But in Monday's first round of eliminations facing Jim Head, Force made a rare and costly error when he left the starting line way too early (-.067-seconds), giving the victory to Head.
Not only did Force lose a chance at the $50,000 "double-up" bonus paid by the NHRA for winning the Showdown and the event, he later lost the points lead back to Ron Capps, who advanced to the semifinals.
"I can only blame myself," said Force after his loss. "I'm the best in the business and I have no excuses for what happened. That's not what my fans and sponsors and my team expect me to do, and if they're mad at me, I can't blame them."
Force could take some consolation in the victory enjoyed by his teammate and son-in-law, Robert Hight, who defeated Whit Bazemore in the final round to score his first career U.S. Nationals win.
"It hasn't sunk in yet," Hight said after giving crew chief Jimmy Prock his second win in three years at Indy. "The pressure of this race is unbelievable. You come in telling yourself that it is just another race and then you get here and you see that that is not the case."
Greg Anderson sank his roots even deeper into the NHRA's Pro Stock history books with his fifth overall Indy championship. The win gave him four straight U.S. Nationals victories and placed him side by side with class legends Bob Glidden and the late Lee Shepherd as the only Pro Stock drivers to rack up that many consecutive wins at the Labor Day classic.
"It's incredible in this day and age to win four in a row at the race where everybody goes all out to win," Anderson said. "I know the competition was awesome when [Glidden and Shepherd] did it, but it's even more brutal now. I feel very humbled and privileged."
There was another good story in Pro Stock Motorcycle. One year after a controversial final round saw Steve Johnson awarded the event crown one day after a timing glitch mistakenly had given the win to Matt Smith, Smith returned to avenge that disappointment when two-time Indy champ Angelle Sampey fouled out against him in the '06 finale.
Smith, the son of veteran Pro Stock driver Rickie Smith, bagged his second NHRA national event win at the sport's defining race and the significance of it was not lost on the likable 33-year-old.
"I'm keeping this one," he said after his win. "I was so jazzed when I saw Angelle's red light that I'm not sure I can remember what happened after that. Yeah, I was pretty jacked."
And that's what racing and winning at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals does to people.

Chiarelli explains why he's 'standing pat'
|07.09.10 at 6:57 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli emphasized in the days after his team's shocking playoff loss to the Philadelphia Flyers that he and management would not be doing anything rash when it comes to re-shaping the roster for 2010-11 season.
He reiterated that in the wake of re-signing defenseman Mark Stuart – one of his team's core leaders – to a one-year contract on Friday.
"Right now, we're standing pat," the GM said. "You look out here, there might be a few guys that challenge, too. I like our prospect depth. Right now, I'm going to be standing pat. That may change but right now, I'm standing pat."
Chiarelli believes that with the core four of Zdeno Chara, Dennis Seidenberg, Stuart and Andrew Ference coming back, the Bruins have the foundation of a solid blue line. He believes he can mix and match with Johnny Boychuk, Matt Hunwick and Adam McQuaid and top-level organizational prospects to have a solid D for next season.
Chiarelli pointed to one area of improvement he'd like to see in Stuart's game – and the team's for that matter – puck movement in the defensive and neutral zones.
"I go back to the five or six games where he had more minutes prior to the LA game and he was getting more confidence, moving the puck a little better," Chiarelli said on Friday. "With Stewie sometimes, he freezes when he pushed the puck up after retrieving it. He's getting better at it, he's getting better at passing. So, a lot of that is a function of confidence and I think you're going to see that with more minutes."
Now, a priority for Chiarelli is signing his two players that have signed for arbitration, Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell, the left winger acquired on June 22 with Nathan Horton from Florida for defenseman Dennis Wideman. Chiarelli also indicated that McQuaid, based on his contributions in the playoffs, has earned a shot at the big club next season.
Chiarelli: Stuart gives B's 'size, strength, character'
|07.09.10 at 2:08 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart was about as humble and agreeable as possible on Friday in accepting his one-year contract extension for next season.
After general manager Peter Chiarelli announced the team had re-signed defenseman, Stuart spoke of wanting to forget about the way the playoffs ended while looking forward to the young, talented core the team is building.
Stuart, 26, is a veteran of 252 NHL regular season games and has 12 goals, 23 assists for 35 points and 261 penalty minutes in those contests. He also has 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games, with two career assists in those 22 games.
The contract is a one-year, $1.675 million pact, a raise from the $1.3 million he made the past two seasons.
Stuart chose against filing for arbitration because negotiations with the Bruins had been encouraging. Stuart said Friday during a conference call with reporters that he's open to playing this one season with the hope of something better down the road.
"I'm very excited about the deal," Stuart said. "I expected after the season that I had if I was going to get a deal it was going to be a one-year deal and then see how I played. Hopefully, I can have a great year this year and then hopefully, yeah, a long-term deal is in the future."
The Bruins now have just over $1 million in cap space, according to CapGeek.com. The team still has yet to reach agreements with first-round pick Tyler Seguin and restricted free agent forwards Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell, the latter two of whom filed for arbitration.
Last season, Stuart played in 56 games for the Bruins, with two goals and five assists. He was sidelined for 26 regular season games and eight postseason contests with a broken left pinky finger and a subsequent infection within that finger.
During his 2008-2009 campaign, Stuart set career highs in goals, assists and points as well as tying his career high in games played, with five goals and 12 assists in 82 games.
"He was okay with the one year. To the point of building onto something more, we have more flexibility, too, next year," Chiarelli said. "If you remember before he hurt his hand against LA, he was starting to play more minutes. He was actually coming along pretty good. It's size, strength, character. Now, we've got, between him, Dennis [Seidenberg], Z [Zdeno Chara] and Johnny [Boychuk], we've got some big strong guys."
Bruins, Stuart reach deal
|07.08.10 at 11:12 pm ET
A source confirmed to WEEI.com Thursday night that an agreement between the Bruins and restricted free agent defenseman Mark Stuart is a "done deal." The contract is a one-year, $1.675 million pact, a raise from the $1.3 million he made the past two seasons. The Boston Globe was the first to report the story.
Stuart chose against filing for arbitration because negotiations with the Bruins had been encouraging. Earlier in the day, the sides were "very close," as was told to WEEI.com. Stuart played in 56 games last season, battling a broken sternum in December and a finger injury sustained in late January. He totaled two goals, five assists and 80 penalty minutes in the campaign. A season earlier, he set a career high in points with 17.
The Bruins now have just over $1 million in cap space, according to CapGeek.com. The team still has yet to reach agreements with first-round pick Tyler Seguin and restricted free agent forwards Blake Wheeler and Gregory Campbell, the latter two of whom filed for arbitration.
Zaney draft pick breaks goaltending mold
|07.08.10 at 6:32 pm ET
Bruins sixth-round draft pick Zane Gothberg is dialed in at development camp in Wilmington and thrilled to have the stands packed with fans as he looks to show the Bruins front office and die-hards alike what he's got. A skater comes in and tries to go stickside on him, but the goaltender quickly reacts and uses his blocker to deflect the puck.
Disappointed, the crowd moans.
The next day, a skater beats him during drills for a goal.
They cheer.
No, the world isn't out to get the Minnesota native, but when the skater in each instance happens to be second overall pick and center of attention Tyler Seguin, it's a bit easier for the goalie to laugh it off.
"It's a little discouraging when he snipes you and stuff and the crowd goes wild," Gothberg said with a laugh on Thursday. "You just get a little flustered and stuff out there. It just makes you that much better because you just have to know that they're going to do that and prepare for it [the] next shot when he comes down or when any other player comes down."
The peculiar thing with Gothberg, however, has nothing to do with the crowd's reaction to him or any other goalie facing Seguin. It's the fact that in a locker room full of young prospects, it's the goalie that appears to be among the most outgoing and, to a degree, a serious candidate for draft class clown honors.
Though many goalies throughout the history of the game have kept more to themselves and been among the quieter players on teams, it's Gothberg who was among the first to volunteer to lead exercises on the first day of team-buliding activities with Marine Eric Kapitulik. In the two days of on-ice activities thus far, it has appears that Gothberg, who as a 2010 draft choice is in his first development camp and meeting the other hopefuls for the first time, is one of the biggest characters of the lot of 27 (26 if you exclude Max Sauve, who has only been able to skate in between sessions).
"I just like to keep the room spunky and stuff, just have a good time and kind of goof off with the guys and stuff," Gothberg, who has also played with the USA U-18 team, said after practice Thursday. "It's a good opportunity hanging out with these guys from around the country and around the world too, so it's a good time."
Gothberg doesn't see himself as the typical goalie. He's not the type to sit by himself or try to get into a deep focus before the game. In fact, Gothberg says he doesn't even put his headphones on until "five minutes before warmups" on game day, instead electing to "interact and hang out" with his teammates. When he does put the head phones on, "Hell's Bells," "Black Betty" and other hockey standards aren't the sounds coming from his mp3 player. Instead it's Lil' Wayne, "a lot" of techno, and, when the mood should strike him, Miley Cyrus.
"Yeah, for sure, Miley Cyrus," Gothberg said, laughing despite seemingly meaning it. "There it is. She's amazing. Gets me every time. Gets me deep."
Through the Cyrus talk ("Not Hannah Montana — just Miley. The original.") that ensued, a reporter couldn't help but ask the goaltender if he was actually serious. The laughter subsided a bit as Gothberg responded, "Yeah, for sure. It's good."
The 6-foot-1, 177-pound Gothberg has looked good thus far in development camp but any contributions the 17-year-old will make for the Bruins are a ways away. He is set to go to the USHL, where he will man the pipes for the Fargo Force for a season or two. From there, it's off to the University of North Dakota, where he is committed to play under coach Dave Hakstol.
A football player through his sophomore year of high school, Gothberg gave the sport up to focus on hockey. He excelled at Thief River Falls high school, recording three shutouts as a senior 1.81 goals against average and .925 save percentage.
As Gothberg makes saves on top prospects and continues to display behavior that strays from his position's norm, he may gain more attention among fans and reporters alike, though he understands he won't draw attention like Seguin or 2008 first-rounder Joe Colborne. Either way, he's alright with it.
"There's been a couple of reporters on me and stuff, which is good, but every guy in this room deserves to have an interview or two here too," Gothberg said. "It's pretty easy to fall under the radar, but it's alright."

Krejci should be good to go come training camp
|07.08.10 at 1:26 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Sporting an air case on his right arm, injured center David Krejci spoke with contained optimism as he updated reporters on his progress recovering from an injury that left both him and and the Bruins helpless in the Eastern Conference semifinals. He said Thursday that he plans to be ready for training camp upon getting screws removed from his wrist in a month. Krejci has frequented Ristuccia Arena as he continues to recover from the injury suffered in the third game of the series.
"I've been doing rehab for the past month and it's going good so far, so hopefully it will go that way," Krejci said. "I'm going to have surgery in [four weeks] to take the screws out and after that I should be able to go on the ice and start lifting much heavier weights than I'm used to right now.
"I'm really excited," he later added. "It feels pretty good right now but it's not 100 percent."
Krejci had surgery on the wrist in early May and began his rehab a month ago. He plans on being ready to go after another month, meaning he should be at 100 percent well before Bruins training camp opens on September 17.
Though he said Thursday that he is "looking forward to being in the best shape possible," such a positive view may have been a little more difficult to take on the night of his injury, a hit from Flyers center Mike Richards.
"It hurt," Krejci said. "I tried to ice it but then when I had to go on the ice, I couldn't lift it, so I knew there was something wrong."
Following x-rays, it became apparant that the wrist would recquire immediate surgery, but it didn't play out like that. Because the injury occurred early in the first period of the game, Krejci actually had to wait until the game was over so the doctor on hand could tend to him without putting other players in the game at risk. This led to Krejci spending the rest of the game in a room by himself. Though the Bruins eventually won the game, 4-1, the other events of the night seem to stand out more so for Krejci.
"I was sitting in some little room. No TV, nothing, so I couldn't watch the game," Krejci said, almost in disbelief all over again.
The doctor and Krejci then waited for the arena to empty so they could leave, but they ended up stuck in traffic. Eventually the surgery was performed and the 24-year-old has proven to have a steady recovery to this point. Now that he's nearly done with the healing process, Krejci is eager to put the injury and the series — a seven-game defeat — in the past.
"It's a new year," Krejci said. "Everybody starts from basically nothing and I'm really excited."

A source has told WEEI.com that the Bruins and restricted free agent Mark Stuart are "very close" to reaching a one-year deal. Stuart recently chose against filing for arbitration, as he felt comfortable enough that he would be able to come to agreement with the Bruins.
In 56 games this past season, the defenseman had two goals, five assists and racked up 80 penalty minutes. He set a career high in points in the 2008-2009 season with 17.

If ordered to pay over 100k$ in attorney fees for opposite side, can this be bankrupt ? Family court in california.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
No, That kind of debt is non-dischargeable in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. However, it can be handled in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Plan. You will need an attorney for that project. Good luck.

This answer is not intended to create an attorney-client relationship and may not be relied upon as legal advice. A careful examination of the facts is necessary before a legal answer may be relied on. You should consult your own attorney before taking or refraining from any legal action.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
This is a nondischargeable debt.
Bankruptcy Attorney
Yes, it can ... but only in a Ch13.
Bankruptcy Attorney
I respectfully disagree with my colleagues. Family law attorney fees are not "ipso facto" non-dischargeable. Unless the family law attorney has specially crafted the language in the property settlement agreement, the attorney fees are dischargeable. Furthermore, the family law attorney will have to file an adversary complaint prior to the "bar date" for such actions. An analysis of the documents is necessary in order to give you a more certain response.
How can I avoid "Unless the family law attorney has specially crafted the language in the property settlement agreement" ?
Bankruptcy Attorney
It depends on the order. An attorney is going to have to review the divorce decree. It could be non dischargeable or dischargeable depending on the language used. Even if it is dischargeable the other party to the divorce decree can bring you back into family court for not paying the attorneys fees.

Family Law Attorney
Generally, no. Section 523(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code identifies three requirements that are to be met in order for family law order to be non-dischargeable: (1) the underlying debt must be in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support; (2) the debt must be owed to a former spouse or child; and (3) the debt must be incurred in connection with a separation agreement, divorce, or property settlement agreement or other order of a court of record. If you were ordered to pay attorney fees directly to your ex-spouse directly then "likely no due to the broad language of the code". If you were ordered to pay directly to your ex-spouse's counsel, this is likely dischargeable (depends on the Trustee). I have had fees owed directly to me by court order both discharged (the Trustee cited 523(a)(5) (2)) and also not discharged by a Trustee .
I hope this helped.

This French politician managed to offend millions of Muslim women with an Islamophobic bikini tweet
A French MEP and former minister has created a storm in France by posting a picture of a veiled woman sitting on a beach and criticising it as an 'attack on our culture'.
Nadine Morano, a close ally of former president Nicolas Sarkozy, took a picture of the woman wearing a headscarf and posted it on her Twitter feed and Facebook page next to a famous photo of sex symbol Brigitte Bardot wearing a bikini.
'When one sees this scene, one cannot but help feel an attack on our culture that goes against our sexual equality,' wrote Morano, from the centre-right UMP party.
'If you choose to come to France, a state of law, a secular state, one should respect our culture and women's rights. If not, go elsewhere!' said Morano, who is well-known for gaffes and outspoken comments.
She acknowledged, however, that the woman had not broken the law, which bans women from wearing a full-face veil.
The comments touched off a heated debate in France, home to Europe's largest Muslim community.
Abdallah Zekri, president of the National Observatory Against Islamophobia hit back, stressing that 'freedom of expression and belief are constitutional rights'.
Morano retorted that France needed a 'national observatory for respecting French culture'.
'French culture is equality between men and women,' she stressed.
The debate raged on social networks and between politicians.
Jean-Marc Germain, from the ruling Socialists, attacked Morano as representing 'the worst of the right-wing ... who rejects others, who believes that you are not a proper French person if you are Muslim'.
Valerie Pecresse, from the same UMP party as Morano, reacted by saying: 'You can walk around wearing whatever you like on the beach.'
And the deputy president of the far-right National Front, Florian Philippot, repeated his party's call for a ban on 'overt religious symbols' in public.
France's Secretary of State for European Affairs, Harlem Desir, said he 'understood' Morano's comments, but called for the law to be upheld.

Take security seriously and interested in how to enable data protection on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad? The good news is that if you use a passcode, iOS 4 data protections protects the hardware encryption keys on your device, making email, attachments, and 3rd party apps (if they enable it) much more secure. The bad news is, if you updated your iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3, or original iPad from iOS 3 to iOS 4, data protection might not have been turned on even with the passcode. Not to worry, we'll walk you through all the possibilities, after the break!
How to set a passcode
If you haven't got a passcode lock set up on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, that's the place to start.
Bonus Tip: You can set your passcode lock to automatically erase your device after 10 failed attempts. That's great if you ever lose your device but if you have young children who can get ahold of it, you might find yourself restoring your wiped device with frustrating frequency. Security is constantly at war with convenience, make your choice.
How to set a stronger passcode
With iOS 4 you can switch the passcode from simple 4-digit numeric to full on alphanumeric for seriously stronger protection.
- From the Settings: General: Passcode Lock screen...
- Switch the Simple Passcode toggle to OFF
- Enter your current 4-digit numeric passcode to verify
- Enter a new, strong alphanumeric passcode
A combination of numbers, letters, and symbols is good, pseudorandom is even better but the difficulty in remembering it probably outweighs any benefit.
How to check for data protection

I am having a bit of a problem with a script that I setup. A little background:
The function of the script is to read from a list of servers that is in a text file separated by :: , log on to the servers, check to see that mysql is running and report back. The file is configured such that each line has: Servername::Ip address::port number
The problem I am having is that I think perl is trying to concatenate the ip address that I am feeding to the function I have in the code. Can anyone point my in the right direction?
use strict;
use warnings;
open(FH, '<', 'serverlist_test') or error("Cannot open file , ($!)");
while (my $line = <FH>) {
our ($name, $ip, $port) = split(/::/, $line);
my $version = &MySQL_check($ip, $port);
close FH;
sub MySQL_check {
my $issue = `ssh -t root@"$_[0]" -p$"_[1]" 'ps axco command | grep -i mysql'`;
print $issue;
if ($issue =~ /mysql/) {
return "Mysql found";
} else {
return "Mysql not found";
What am I doing wrong?
Thank You.

The full-time whistle goes and Norwich have run out 3-1 winners courtesy of Anthony Pilkington's brace for Paul Lambert's troops.
Dobbie has received some treatment. It remains to be seen whether Swansea's substitute will be able to carry on.
Even worse for Swansea is that Dobbie has picked up an ankle injury and he doesn't seem to be able to carry on.
There is no sense of urgency from the visitors. They are passing the ball without really getting anywhere.
Some great play by Graham down the right. He picked out Dobbie, but it was a poor finish from the substitute.
Swansea have altered their formation a little and are pushing more men forward in an attempt to get back into this game.
"In full agreement with Cardiff's Rosie, and whilst we're at it lets do away with plucky Norwich etc, we're a team not a group of individuals. Put together by what has to be one of the most astute managers in the league." Nick in Worcester.
A good advantage played by the referee after Hoolahan is fouled. The ball falls kindly for Johnson, but his left-footed effort is saved by Vorm.
A frustrated Sinclair tries his luck from distance, but his left-footer is nowhere near Ruddy's goal
Swansea fail to deal with a corner and Johnson shows great composure in the penalty area to find Pilkington who turns quickly to send the ball into the back of the net.
"Please give some recognition to our unsung hero David Fox. The Premiership pundits ignore him but he's been immense for us so far this season! 4-1 to the Canaries today!" Rosie in Cardiff
Sinclair cuts inside on his right foot, but his attempt is a little poor and well wide of Ruddy's near post.
Wasteful attempt there from Pilkington as his long-range effort with his right foot was high, wide and handsome. Tierney had burst forward and wanted the ball, but he was not picked out.
Pilkington picks out Johnson in Swansea's penalty area. The midfielder gathers, but his cross goes straight behind. Pilkington wanted a one-two.
Johnson tries a left-footed shot from distance, but he does not quite make good enough contact with the ball.
Johnson meets Fox's set-piece and the ex-Leeds man was disappointed he didn't do better there with his header.
Rangel takes a throw-in, but it was indeed Norwich's throw which brings about a cheer from the home faithful.
An exciting opening saw three goals in the opening 12 minutes and Norwich take a slender lead into the break. Norwich are 2/7 to see the game out and take all three points, Swansea are 10/1 to win, with the draw 7/2. Over 4.5 goals is 11/10.
Nearly a lucky goal for the home side as Elliott Bennett's right wing cross hits the top of the crossbar.
Fox's long-range volley is well over. The home fans wanted a free-kick following some attention from Britton.
Morison does really well, but sends a left-footer wide. Norwich are currently hitting Swansea on the counter-attack.
Some good work by Morison. He picks out Pilkington to his left, but the ex-Huddersfield man can only find the side-netting with his drive.
Dyer lays it off to Rangel who launches a shot from distance over Ruddy's crossbar. Lovely passage of play by the visitors.
Morison tries an ambitious lop for the home side, but his effort bounces well wide of Vorm's far post.
Some excellent work by Sinclair down the left and from the floor he picks out Graham who finishes inside the far corner of the net.
From the resulting free-kick Russell Martin drifts into the penalty area to send a header into the back of the net from Fox's ball.
First shot of the game for the visitors as Routledge tests Ruddy with a left-footer, but it was an easy save.
Williams is back on the field and is fine to continue and he does well to put the ball out of play with Morison threatening down the right.
Morison gets on the end of Fox's free-kick, but this time Swansea manage to scramble the ball clear.
Early booking for Swans captain Monk and he is deemed to have pulled back Morison. All Canaries so far.
Elliott Bennett crosses from the right. Steve Morison heads the ball back into the danger area for Pilkington to lash the ball home in the middle.
There might be a chill in the air but it's a lovely sunny day here in Norwich, perfect for a game of football.
Swansea, seeking their first top-flight away win in 29 years, make one change, with Leon Britton coming in for Mark Gower in midfield.
Norwich manager Paul Lambert has named the same starting XI for the fourth successive time. Andrew Crofts is named among the Norwich substitutes despite suffering an ankle knock while on international duty with Wales.
I'm James Pearson and I'll be talking you through today's clash from East Anglia. If you have any thoughts pre-match feel free to email me at email@example.com or follow my on Twitter @SkySportsJamesP
Both teams have made decent starts to Premier League season following promotion after picking up eight points from their opening seven fixtures.
Norwich: Ruddy, Naughton, Russell Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Bennett, Pilkington, Fox, Johnson, Hoolahan, Morison. Subs: Rudd, Crofts, Holt, Jackson, Surman, Wilbraham, De Laet.
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor, Dyer, Allen, Routledge, Britton, Sinclair, Graham. Subs: Tremmel, Dobbie, Lita, Moore, Gower, Richards, Moras.

gOOD THREAD ...Could see Abramovitch going for him if only to improve Torres he could risk a season on him but cant see him being daft as the two scum bag yanks who used to own us and giving him 5yr contract. Anyway nice for us if he is appointed as it would imo be unlikely Chelski would be much of a threat with him at the helm....lol.

2 reviews | 3.5 out of 5
I usually am optomistic and give things honest reviews. I won't give some thing a bad review just because it was defective when I recieved it. However, this product is not worth the money. This is just a copy of the Bell bike computer you can get for half the price. Not only that the Bell version is better quality. When I recieved the product it worked half way through the first ride. After that now matter what I did I couldn't get it to read any more. The problem is the magnet that you put on the spoke of the wheel. It uses a plastic bolt with a slit in the middle to fit around the spoke. The head of the bolt holds the magnet that the sensor reads. The nut that goes on the bolt is metal and so it either strips the plastic or you can't tighten it enough to keep the magnet stationary for the sensor to read. I tried to trouble shoot it but the website they give is in a different language. I took the item back and bought a Bell computer that looks exactly the same and the magnet for the Bell one uses metal pieces and I have had no problems with it. It is also half the price of this one.

For some reason I have an app that thinks it has new updates, which it does not currently and refuses to do its job. I have to completely uninstall it. Where does windows 8 use as storage for apps/info of apps ?
The MSDN page at MSDN/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel links to "Package" and "PackageVersion". PackageVersion seems to be what we want to be looking at, but both pages have the following at the bottom:
Googling for Windows.winmd gives me this Wikipedia page (oldid'd for futureproofing), which states

I have multiple monitors setup on Windows 7. I want a window to be focused only if my mouse hovered over it when coming from other monitor (this is how it worked when I used Synergy with multiple desktops) I tried enabling Windows 7's auto focus feature from 'ease of use' under control panel. It works fine, but removes a window's focus if mouse pointer is in same monitor but hovered over different window.
In short window should be focused only when mouse pointer is moved across monitors, not when mouse hovers over a window.
can this be achieved ?
Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.

Washout swallows two cars in Vt accident
LOWELL Vermont State Police say two cars carrying three family members plunged into a 15-foot-deep hole in a road washout created by heavy rain and a dislodged culvert.
Police said the members of the Richardson family, of Lowell, suffered minor injuries in the accident early Saturday in Lowell. A 16-year-old in the second vehicle suffered an arm fracture.
Police said the culvert under Mines Road was washed away sometime late Friday or early Saturday. A nearly 30-foot stretch of road went with it. The washout was north of the Eden town line.
The drivers didnt see the hole in time.
The cars were totaled, police said. The local roads commissioner, Reginald Pion, said its a miracle no one was killed.MORE IN This Just In

It seems like when the temperatures go up so does the price of gas.
But we have some tips to keep you cool and save that precious fuel.
Once you get in your car, before turning on the air conditioning - open the windows and vents to blow hot air out faster.
According to a new consumer report at speeds below 45 mph you get better gas mileage without the air on and with the windows down.
If you're going more than 45-55 mph the report shows you get better gas mileage with your windows up and air conditioning on, due to the drag the wind creates.
Another big gas saver is turning your recycling air button on when the AC is going.

Misaligned? Overvalued?. The Untold Story of the Turkish Lira
Scholars agree that overvalued exchange rates result in currency crises. This paper estimates the equilibrium real exchange rate for Turkey, finding that the lira was indeed overvalued before the crises in 1994 and 2001. However, the actual real exchange rate is at present close to the equilibrium level, exposing the myth propagated by Turkish exporters that the lira's overvaluation is responsible for Turkey's uncompetitive exports. The paper also highlights the role for fiscal adjustment in macroeconomic stability.

The complete evaluation of any patient, whether presenting with single-system or multisystem disease, should include the following:[1]
- History and physical exam: A complete history and physical exam with special attention to the skin, lymph nodes, ears, oral pharynx, gingiva, tongue, teeth, bones, lungs, thyroid, liver and spleen size, bone abnormalities, growth velocity, and history of excessive thirst and urination.
Other tests and procedures include the following:

Read the Low Gamma-GT Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis article > >
- Blood tests: Blood tests include complete blood count with leukocyte differential and platelet count, liver function tests (e.g., bilirubin, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and prothrombin time/partial thromboplastin time in patients with hepatomegaly, jaundice, elevations of liver enzymes, or low albumin), and serum electrolytes.
- BRAF V600E: Although BRAF mutation assessment is not a required part of the workup for Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), the BRAF mutation can be detected by either immunohistochemistry or molecular diagnostic methods.
- Urine tests: Urine tests include urinalysis and a water-deprivation test if diabetes insipidus is suspected. Water deprivation tests in very young children, especially infants, is performed under medical monitoring.
- Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy: The bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is indicated for patients with multisystem disease who have unexplained anemia or thrombocytopenia. The biopsy should be stained with anti-CD1a and/or anti-CD207 (langerin) and anti-CD163 immunostains to facilitate the detection of LCH cells.
Radiologic and imaging tests: Radiologic tests for the first level of screening include skeletal survey, skull series, bone scans, and chest X-ray. Newer diagnostic imaging modalities, such as somatostatin analog scintigraphy or fludeoxyglucose F 18 (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans, augment, but do not replace the standard tests.[2,3,4,5,6]
- Computed tomography (CT) scan: CT scan of the head may be indicated if orbital, mastoid, or other maxillofacial involvement is suspected. Imaging tests may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with gadolinium contrast of the brain for patients with diabetes insipidus or suspected brain or vertebral involvement.[7]
CT scan of the lungs may be indicated for patients with abnormal chest X-rays or pulmonary symptoms. High-resolution CT scans may show evidence of pulmonary LCH when the chest X-ray is normal, thus in infants and toddlers with normal chest X-rays, a CT scan may be considered.[8]
LCH causes fatty changes in the liver or hypodense areas along the portal tract, which can be identified by CT scans.[9]
- 18F-FDG PET scan: 18F-FDG PET scan abnormalities have been reported in the brains of seven patients with LCH, with neurologic and radiographic signs of neurodegenerative disease.[6] There was good correlation with MRI findings in the cerebellar white matter, but less so in the caudate nuclei and frontal cortex. It was suggested that PET scans of patients at high risk for developing neurodegenerative LCH could show abnormalities earlier than MRI.[6] PET scans often demonstrate lesions not found by other modalities and show a decrease of activity after 6 weeks of therapy, thus providing a better assessment of response to therapy than bone scans or plain X-rays.[5]
- MRI: MRI findings of patients with diabetes insipidus include thickening and nodularity of the pituitary stalk with loss of the posterior pituitary bright spot reflecting absence of anti-diuretic hormone. Later in the course, the stalk generally atrophies but this should not be used as evidence of response to therapy.
All patients with vertebral body involvement need careful assessment of associated soft tissue, which may impinge on the spinal cord.
MRI findings of central nervous system LCH include T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) enhancement in the pons, basal ganglia, white matter of the cerebellum, and mass lesions or meningeal enhancement. In a report of 163 patients,[10] meningeal lesions were found in 29% and choroid plexus involvement in 6%. Paranasal sinus or mastoid lesions were found in 55% of patients versus 20% of controls, and accentuated Virchow-Robin spaces in 70% of patients versus 27% of controls.
- Computed tomography (CT) scan: CT scan of the head may be indicated if orbital, mastoid, or other maxillofacial involvement is suspected. Imaging tests may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with gadolinium contrast of the brain for patients with diabetes insipidus or suspected brain or vertebral involvement.[7]
Biopsy: Lytic bone lesions, skin, and lymph nodes are the most frequent sites biopsied for diagnosis of LCH. A liver biopsy is indicated when a child with LCH presents with hypoalbuminemia not caused by gastrointestinal LCH or other etiology. These patients usually have elevated levels of bilirubin or liver enzymes. An open lung biopsy may be necessary for obtaining tissue for diagnosis of pulmonary LCH when bronchoalveolar lavage is nondiagnostic.
A pathologic diagnosis is always required to make a definitive diagnosis. However, this may sometimes be difficult or contraindicated, such as in isolated pituitary stalk disease when the risk outweighs the benefit of a firm diagnosis. LCH cells are large cells with abundant pink cytoplasm and a bean-shaped nucleus on hematoxylin and eosin. LCH cells should stain positively with antibodies to CD1a and/or anti-langerin (CD207) to confirm the diagnosis of LCH.[11]

"Navy Base Town" Lexington Park by grandmaR
Lexington Park Travel Guide: 26 reviews and 116 photos
Lexington Park is an otherwise unremarkable small town - not even the county seat - that is right outside the Patuxent River NAS. The population (year 2000) is 11,021, it has an elevation of 112 feet and an area of 8.0 square miles
The pictured lighthouse cupola used to be part of the Cedar Point Light, which was on the southern shore of the Patuxent River. The lighthouse was abandoned and gradually fell apart. I have painted a picture of it as I imagine it used to be for one of the screens of my sailboat.
The cupola used to be right on MD Rte 235 (Three Notch Rod) in the NAS museum. When the museum was moved so the road could be widened the cupola was moved to a temporary location farther up the road.
The building on the right background houses the Peking Restaurant (see tips), and a donut shop among other enterprises.
The Lexington Park area used to be known as Jarboesville (named after the Jarboe family which is one of the local families), and another part of the area was known as Pearson. When the US Navy came to the county in 1941 (just before Pearl Harbor and the outbreak of WW II), they bought up the land that made up Jarboesville and Pearson under the right of imminent domain to built the Patuxent Naval Air Station, they built housing for their employees near the new base. This area was named Lexington Park in honor of the USS Lexington (an aircraft carrier). The Lexington Park post office was established in 1947.
A lot of the stuff that is in the Lexington Park area (zip code: 20653) has a California MD address, so check also the restaurants at California
- Pros:Many Retail Establishments
- Cons:Suburban Sprawl without Tourist Destinations
- In a nutshell:Military Base town

Analysts Use 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' to Explain Al Qaeda's Newest American Import
"Awlaki comes off as someone who might be your favorite professor."
Anwar al-Awlaki, a 39-year-old New Mexico native of Yemeni descent who serves as one of Al Qaeda's top media strategists, has had an influential year since the CIA placed the cleric on its hit list earlier this year. He inspired Faisal Shahzad and another failed U.S. terrorist and called for the death of the guy behind "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." In order to explain his mass appeal in recruiting potential jihadists, NPR says intelligence officials placed Awlaki's face on Justin Long's body in a parody of one of those "I'm a Mac" commercials. The part of the PC was played by Adam Gadahn, also known as Azzam al-Amriki, the infamous Southern California kid who converted to Islam and joined Al Qaeda. Both Awlaki and Amriki have sharpened the organization's media strategy with inside knowledge about American culture. Only Awlaki seems to be doing a much sleeker job.
Where Gadahn is an unengaging figure whose long-winded, overblown language (here's one sample: "Barack, I know that as you slither snakelike into the second year of your reign") make him sound "like a character out of The Lord of the Rings," Awlaki has real charisma, which is why tens of thousands, or possibly millions, have watched his lectures online:
Awlaki comes off as someone who might be your favorite professor. He is soft-spoken and at least seems to be asking his listeners to think for themselves.
Hmmm, professorial, charming, prefers the Socratic approach ... sounds kinda like this other famous Muslim we know. Expect another billboard any day now.

Hi everybody,
I have a new Logitech wireless mouse. I installed the SetPoint driver and—possibly unwisely—the Logitech Download Assistant utility.
I soon found our PC was spontaneously resuming from Standby. I opened Device Manager and found the mouse settings for "Allow this device to wake the computer" had been reselected. I guess I should've foreseen that.
I cleared the settings and thought that took care of it. Now, a few days later, I've found our PC running again, and found the "wake" settings had been re-selected.
My best guess is that the Logitech Download Assistant—which I understand automatically downloads and installs Logitech updates—did that, and reset the "wake" settings.
Logitech Download Assistant doesn't appear in Windows 7's uninstall list. I looked online but couldn't directions for uninstalling it. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks, Ander
Run msconfig.
Go to the "Startup" tab.
Disable "Logitech Download Assistant". (And anything else worrying in there.)

I did check for it as a startup, as soon as I found it couldn't be uninstalled. (I used the Autoruns utility from Windows Sysinternals; it's much more comprehensive than msconfig. After reading your reply, I checked msconfig too.)
I assumed LDA was installed because:
_ It appeared in Windows Update; then, after I selected it along with other updates and installed everything, LDA no longer appeared there.
_ LogiLDA.dll, which I understand is associated with LDA, was now in my Windows/System32 folder.
Because LogiLDA.dll isn't an actual startup task (there's no reference to it in my Windows registry), I assume Logitech's SetPoint driver calls it on login. Seems rather sneaky, doesn't it—especially considering it's an app that "phones home"?
I've ended up just renaming LogiLDA.dll so it won't run. Thanks just the same, though.
And now, want to see something goofy? I also emailed Logitech Support and asked them how to uninstall LDA. They replied:

From your e-mail, I understand you are having an issue uninstalling the software of your Logitech Wireless Mouse M510. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and my sincere apologies for the inconvenience... [extra verbiage omitted]
Regarding your issue, I would like to verify if you have tried to perform the suggestions below? If not yet, please do so to help us isolate the issue.
The software might be corrupted, just to be sure to install it properly, please uninstall it using Revo Uninstaller Pro. You can download the 30 days free trial on www.revouninstaller.com. This software will uninstall all the components of the program including the registry.
Once you have installed the Revo Uninstaller, please follow the steps below:
1. Close the Logitech Webcam Software > go to the system tray and look for the icon.
2. Right click on the icon of the Logitech Webcam Software > Exit.
3. Open the Revo Uninstaller > look for the Logitech Webcam Software then right click > uninstall.
4. Wait for the software while it scans > it will ask to uninstall the software.
5. Once the software is uninstalled > select the scan to Advance then click Scan.
6. Once all the registry appears > click Select All > Delete.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to visit our website...

In other words:
_ They referred me to a third-party uninstaller (rather than providing their own uninstaller, or manual directions for removing their own software).
_ They encouraged me to use shareware for free, then uninstall it (and apparently do so routinely).
_ They gave me instructions for removing the wrong thing (webcam software).
Hmm, I guess the ol' auto-responder didn't find the right keywords in my message. :?D
I'm afraid the "robot" that replies to support requests often gets it wrong.
They didn't even get the question right. Had you followed their instructions, you would have been
By coincidence, Windows Update offered to update the Logitech Download Assistant today. I declined.
Another useful utility for startup issues is StartupRun from Nirsoft. If you install Windows System Control Center it can combine the Nirsoft and Sysinternals utilities into a seriously useful package.

MIAMI (AP) -- A witness says a naked man chewing on the face of another naked man on a Miami highway ramp kept eating and growled at a police officer who tried to stop him.
Larry Vega tells WSVN-TV in Miami (http://bit.ly/L6kwWt) that he was riding his bicycle Saturday afternoon when he saw one man tearing at the victim's flesh with his mouth.
Vega says both he and a Miami police officer yelled at the attacker to stop. Vega says the attacker just growled and kept chewing at the victim.
The officer repeatedly fired at the attacker, killing him.
The victim remained hospitalized Monday. Vega says the victim's face looked like "a blob of blood."
Few details about the attack have been released. Police say neither man's identity is known.

I am currently implementing a filter hook based on
the_content hook. I need to retrieved the
$post->ID, unfortunately this value is not accessible (or not set already) within the hook call.
Although I noticed that calling
the_ID is working. But for my own regex purpose I need to actually retrieve the ID value rather that simply echo it.
For now, I am using
global $id to access the current post ID. But I feel this is not a clean approach since
$id is not supposed to be directly accessed that way.
What would you suggest as a clean approach to this problem?

01.10.2015 - With the product family FUS Eco, PETER electronic is expanding its portfolio to include new frequency converters which are ideal for the energy-efficient use related to ventilation control and pump control. The great strength of FUS Eco range, which is immediately available in the Shop, is the needs-based speed control of motors while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. Overall, in practice, the frequency converters allow significant cost savings, particularly in building automation in conjunction with HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). The new product family is available in different sizes, power levels and housing protection classes (IP20, IP55 and IP66), so it is perfect to meet a wide variety of application needs.

text: Long handles give better leverage when you're trying to sneak a taste of mashed potatoes from the person seated next to you. The unique looped handle allows for storage beyond the standard drawer. Try keeping these on display, hung on a series of kitchen hooks. The chopsticks that come with the series are a nice touch, but their gray plastic construction doesn't quite befit the quality of their iD counterparts. Thicker handle girth would make for a better feel.

The anadromous Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus, a wide-ranging species along the Atlantic Coast of North America, is being considered for federal listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Identification of distinct population segments (DPS) is necessary but problematic for highly vagile species such as Atlantic sturgeon which may spend a high proportion of their lives outside of their natal estuaries. Characterization of genetic differentiation and estimates of gene flow provide a quantitative measure of the number of DPS into which species could be divided over their distribution and the reproductive independence of each unit. We sequenced a portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region to characterize population structure and gene flow across all naturally reproducing populations from which specimens could be obtained. We then considered these genetic data along with ancillary information on life history characteristics, historical fisheries data, and trajectories of abundance to determine the number of DPS into which this species should be divided. Our results suggest that philopatry is high for Atlantic sturgeon and that each U.S. estuary analyzed hosts genetically distinct populations of Atlantic sturgeon. We conclude that at least nine DPS of Atlantic sturgeon exist along the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. In contrast, the Atlantic Sturgeon Status Review Team has proposed a five DPS scheme for this subspecies based largely on results from nuclear DNA microsatellites, but with fewer populations represented and lower samples sizes. These different conclusions illustrate the somewhat arbitrary nature of the DPS concept, at least as applied to Atlantic sturgeon.
