We consider the p-median problem which is to find the location of p-facilities so as to minimize the average weighted distance or time between demand points and service centers. Many heuristic algorithms have been proposed for this problem. In this paper we present a simple new heuristic which is effective for moderately size problem. The heuristic uses a reduction and an exchange procedure. Our methodology is tested on 400 randomly generated problems with 10 to 50 customer locations as well as 6 well known literature test problems. We also compare our method with the Branch and Bound method in terms of quality and computational time using a larger problem size of 150 customer locations. For the random problems the generated solutions were on average within 0.61 % of the optimum. A similar result was achieved for the literature test problems. A comparative analysis with literature heuristics supports the superiority of our method. The computational time of our heuristic is 0.75 % of the Branch and Bound Method. We also apply our heuristic to a case study involving the location of emergency vehicles (ambulances) in Perth City (Australia).

Leaves my frizz prone hair silky smooth
Have been buying this product for some time and never disappointed. Price very important also good delivery and packing excellent
I've been using this product for about a year now. My hair naturally is very coarse and dry, so this makes a massive difference to the condition of my hair. It is a bit pricey but I would definitely recommend it - it leaves my hair soft and silky. I often leave in overnight and rinse out in the morning.
Love my Kerastase products.
This is the only conditioner I've used that thoroughly moisturises my hair. I have relaxed hair and it requires a lot of moisture to remain healthy. I look forward to slapping this on my hair! Great product.
Excellent choice, good prices and swift delivery
Best hair product I have ever used, leaves my coarse frizzy hair smooth and shiny for days, get lots and lots of compliments on my hair and how shiny it looks! Worth the price tag.
Brilliant for making hair shiney and manageable
Brilliant one of the best on the market
Good competative prices however, I was disappointed that my discount vouchers were declined, on speaking to customer services it was because my products were classed as sale items however they were reduced by a matter of pennies so seems quite a crafty way of saying they are sale items and therefore cannot ustilise the discount codes.
Évaluation du service : A déconseiller, je ne commanderai plus jamais chez vous.
Je t'ai toujours pas reçu mes produits commandés !!
Bref que du négatif à étendre autour de moi !Produit : Toujours rien reçu, une honte !!!!!!
I've always struggled to keep my hair in good condition. This is honestly the best hair product I've ever used. Makes my hair feel soft and so healthy with just one use. Love it and will be stocking up on more!
Doesn't seem to leave hair particularly feeling any better after several uses
Avec un peu de retard mais je suis content.
Highly recommend
Only used twice so far and worked better when left on longer.
Livraison qui n'est pas dans les temps mais satisfaite tout de même je reviendrai
Have only used it the once and it hasn't worked any miracles yet but I'll give it another go
Reasonably priced, quick and easy transaction and goods arrived well packaged. Pleased.

HourlyHours to be determined
Start DateJanuary 5, 2013
I'm still looking to reinforce my helping team with a very savvy cake / js coder who can assist me on my coding-learning / at the same time finishing a project via question and answer live over skype. The usual procedure would be that I ping you when I have a question, and you would tell me how to solve it. It would be great if this can be handled as a standby side activity of yours and if you'd be able to response directly most of the times.
I primarily need the information about what steps have to be taken, and sometimes I'll need to know a bit more in depth why is what etc. … I don't need code other than for explanation, I write the production code by myself.
For your compensation I'd suggest to pre-pay an amount of 2-3 hours each in advance, and then work off that with the time it takes you helping me.
I work 7 days a week, if you do too that'd be a plus.
I'm in Germany and also look for someone I can work with in my evening / night time.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Director Eva Sørhaug (Cold Lunch) reveals the rage and violence lurking beneath seemingly tranquil domesticity in her bold and uncompromising sophomore feature.
90 minutes of bullshit! I really don't care about anybody in this film, no humour, no hope, unresolved and non escalating conflicts, overuse of music to make the scenes more 'important',visually messy, one dimensional characters with a goddamn stillborn ending that doesn't leave much for a one star rating...so why a one star rating? So that people that see my profile will get this message! ...What a waste...
Jeg likte ikke denne filmen, ikke på grunn av handlingen men hvordan fokuset er på overgriperen. Og lage en film om kvinnevold er ganske modig gjort og en bra ting og sette fokus på. Allikevel synes jeg filmskaperene burde valgt ukjente skuespillere og fokusere litt mer på damene i filmen.
TIFF '12 Brutal, empty and nihilistic second feature from Eva Sorhaug that dresses up misogny and brutality in an artful but pointless fashion. The idea that one doesn't know the secrets behind people's closed doors when just seeing them as part of the crowd is not a new conceit. But to wallow in the self pity and brutality on display here is just obscene. Total miss.
Ma in norvegia fanno anche film decenti?
A depressing and feeble analysis of three disturbing minds. Review and Rating: http://alwayswatchgoodmovies.blogspot.com/2013/05/90-minutes-2012.html
I would say this film is a result of a great artistic work, but it is full of violence. I wouldn`t recommend it to a wide audience to watch ..
Painful and challenging to watch...but really it is in your face about misogyny and violence against women that should never be ignored.

Many software development tools that assist with tasks such as testing and maintenance are specific to a particular development language and require a parser for that language. Because a grammar is required to develop a parser, construction of these software development tools is dependent upon the availability of a grammar for the development language. However, a grammar is not always available for a language and, in these cases, acquiring a grammar is the most difficult, costly, and time-consuming phase of tool construction. In this paper, we describe a methodology for grammar recovery from a hard-coded parser. Our methodology is comprised of manual instrumentation of the parser, a technique for automatic grammar recovery from parse trees, and a semi-automatic metrics-guided approach to refactoring an iterative grammar to obtain a recursive grammar. We present the results of a case study in which we recover and refactor a grammar from version 4.0.0 of the GNU C++ parser and then refactor the recovered grammar using our metrics-guided approach. Additionally, we present an evaluation of the recovered and refactored grammar by comparing it to the ISO C++98 grammar.

Portugal's Bonds Rise as Borrowing Costs Fall; German Bunds Drop
Portugal's government bonds advanced for a fourth day as borrowing costs at a sale of 12-month bills dropped to the lowest since at least 2005, adding to evidence the region's debt crisis is behind it.
The country's 10-year yields dropped toward the lowest level in four years as it seeks to regain full access to debt markets with the end of its 78 billion-euro ($108 billion) rescue program approaching in May. Italian 10-year yields fell to the lowest since September 2005 and those on their Spanish equivalents dropped to the least since 2006. German bunds slid with Treasuries as demand for safer assets waned and investors weighed prospects for a Federal Reserve rate-guidance overhaul.
"As long as the European Central Bank maintains an easing bias and the euro-zone economy continues to recover, particularly the peripherals, then investors will continue to seek yield pickup," said Nick Stamenkovic, a fixed-income strategist at broker RIA Capital Markets Ltd. in Edinburgh. There is scope for spreads between higher-yielding bonds and core markets to keep narrowing, he said.
Portugal's 10-year yield fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 4.38 percent at 4:17 p.m. London time after dropping to 4.31 percent on March 11, the lowest since April 2010. The 5.65 percent bond due in February 2024 rose 0.405, or 4.05 euros per 1,000-euro face amount, to 110.035.
The government sold 930 million euros of bills maturing in March 2015 at an average yield of 0.602 percent, the lowest since Bloomberg began compiling the data in March 2005.
Portuguese Funding
Portugal plans gross bond issuance of between 11 billion euros and 13 billion euros this year, and the debt agency said in January it expects to reintroduce bond auctions in the first half of this year. The country has already started to obtain funding for 2015, the debt agency said on Feb. 11 after selling 3 billion euros of 10-year bonds through banks.
Investors are returning to the markets they shunned during the debt crisis, helping push the average yield to maturity on bonds from Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain to the lowest in the euro era yesterday, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes. Ireland, which exited its bailout program in December, raised 1 billion euros last week in its first bond auction since September 2010. Greece hopes to return to bond markets for the first time in four years before May.
Draghi Pledge
The rally started in July 2012 when ECB President Mario Draghi said the central bank was "ready to do whatever it takes" to preserve the euro as the crisis threatened to splinter the region's monetary union. Italian 10-year yields have dropped about 3 percentage points since then.
Italy's 10-year yield rose two basis points to 3.38 percent today after falling to 3.35 percent, the least since October 2005. Yields on similar-maturity Spanish debt were three basis points higher at 3.34 percent, after declining to 3.29 percent, the lowest level since January 2006.
Greece's bonds maturing February 2024 rose for a third day, with the yield dropping six basis points to 6.77 percent.
"The market seems to be trying to trade toward risk on," said Marius Daheim, a senior fixed-income strategist at Bayerische Landesbank in Munich. Investors "are starting to shift their focus toward sub-investment grade such as Portugal and Greece now," he said.
Germany's 10-year yield climbed three basis points to 1.60 percent after declining to 1.50 percent on March 14, the lowest since July 19. Treasury 10-year yields rose two basis points to 2.70 percent before the Federal Open Market Committee ends its two-day policy meeting.
German Auction
Germany sold 3.26 billion euros of bunds maturing in February 2024 at an average yield of 1.58 percent, compared with 1.64 percent at a previous sale on Feb. 19. Investors bid for 1.59 times the amount of securities allotted, up from 1.1 times in February.
Volatility on Finnish bonds was the highest in euro-area markets today, followed by those of France and Austria, according to measures of 10-year debt, the yield spread between two- and 10-year securities and credit-default swaps.
Portugal's bonds returned 11 percent this year through yesterday, according to Bloomberg World Bond Indexes. Spain's gained 5.4 percent, Italy's 4.7 percent and German securities earned 2.5 percent.

I've been loving this plugin, but I have a site that has a lot of posts on each day. Instead of the post list displaying when you select a month, I would like a list of the days, linking to the complete archive page for that day. Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?
It seems like I'd need to add something to generator.php, and then make some changes to fancy.html and post-list.html...?
I am using the "fancy" display setting.
Any tips appreciated!

I am trying to redirect a subdirectory to a php file. Instead of serving the file, it downloads it, meaning that it does not read it as a php file.
More exactly it does not enter the fastcgi
location ~ \.php$ directive.
Some interesting facts :
- Everything works perfectly well for the
adminbloc but not for the
- When I move the
location ~ \.php$directive above the
loginone and that I change
^~ /logininto
~ /login, it works exept for the rewrite rule
rewrite ^/login/(.+\.php)$ /$1 last;.
I did read the Wiki Nginx documentation on the topic so I am aware of the priorities in which nginx read the location directives but that does not tell me how to deal with this case! I also read
- the similar question need help understanding/configuring an nginx location directive (unanswered)
- howto setup window nginx virtual directory with php support? that I tried to implement with no success
- Nginx location directive doesn't seem to be working. Am I missing something? that cover the case of a real (not virtual) subfolder.
Here is the config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name tyba-one.com *.tyba-one.com;
root /var/www/tyba/public_html;
rewrite_log on;
error_page 404 /404.php;
client_max_body_size 4M;
if ($host ~* ^www\.(.*)){
set $host_without_www $1;
rewrite ^/(.*)$ $scheme://$host_without_www/$1 permanent;
location = / {
rewrite ^/$ /index.php last;
location ^~ /login {
rewrite ^(/login)$ $1/ permanent;
rewrite ^/login/$ /login.php last;
rewrite ^/login/(.+\.php)$ /$1 last;

fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/tyba/public_html$fastcgi_script_name;
I would like to understand what's going on and how to deal with such situations.

I am using an IP camera which I don't know its IP. I'm unable to connect to it, and all I know it's MAC address. My questions are:
- If I didn't know it's MAC address, would I be able to discover its IP address?
- Without using a switch/router, and just connecting to the camera with an Ethernet cable, would I be able to get it's IP?
The problem is that the manufacterer of these cameras give you some Windows software to detect cameras regarding of IP differences between your computer and the camera. But I don't know how to do that in Ubuntu (software or command line).

The Snarky Voice in Your Head Is Killing Your Productivity; Here's How to Stop It
There's a jerk inside all of us: we roll our eyes when someone in line has a complicated order, curse at little old ladies who don't drive fast enough, and sneer at people who are just too happy. Over time, that snark kills our productivity and poisons our relationships. Here's how to keep your inner asshole in check.

If there were one post that I've been looking forward to writing this year, this is the post I've been looking forward to writing all year---the last post of 2010. The past 365 days have been filled with such enormous changes---a new way of eating, not to mention someone new to eat with, a new job, even a new (used) car I officially own as of Tuesday thanks to a quick trip to the DMV---and as a rare project, I've been chronicling the whole thing, even beyond our chats here, with a picture a day, every day, all. year. long., along with other food bloggers (or maybe because of other food bloggers), only missing four days. But now that the day has come, I guess all I really want to say is, it's been a good year, and I'm thankful. So even though I had wanted to give you a long, heartfelt, recap-style post today, all I'm bringing is these few sentences. That, and a big, heartfelt wish for a happy new year---one that's as blessed as this one has been. See you in 2011! … [Read more...]

Sweet & Tangy Meatballs
My family's never been big on annual traditions. I mean, sure, at Christmastime, there's a tree and presents. We mail greetings and watch movies that come on TV, like most people do. We eat cookies (but then we always eat cookies). And then there are a few other recipes we associate with the season, you know, things that sometimes get made, sometimes don't, from fudge to cream cheese to the gem I bring you today: sweet and tangy meatballs. But these meatballs aren't just for Christmastime, and they're not always with Christmastime---with my family, few things are. In fact, some of you may remember seeing them at our (hot and balmy) blog party last August, where 32 people managed to eat over 100 in the space of a few hours. There were so many requests for the recipe afterwards---Mom gets all the credit there---that I had to post a quick version over on our Facebook page, with plans to give these year-round appetizers better treatment later on. Now's that time. Because while … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie + Homemade Pie Crust
OK, I know what you're thinking: pumpkin pie in December? Why don't I just put on a Halloween costume and sing the Star-Spangled Banner while I'm at it? Listen, I know. Pumpkin pie is traditionally associated with Thanksgiving, and I know, here we are, a few days from Christmas---a time decidedly post-Thanksgiving. But I've thought this one through, and I'm bringing it to you today, anyway, despite the backwards holiday timing and seeming ignorance of appropriate blog content. I'm doing it for two reasons: This is the best pumpkin pie I've ever had. I can't stop making it. (Oh and PS: pie pumpkins are currently on sale at my grocery store, so hello?) I'm also posting this now because it includes a pie crust recipe! for a homemade crust! (Once you start making excuses, it's hard to stop.) I've posted this dough recipe before, with a quiche in early November, but I've since made it with all my pumpkin pies, as well as another version of that creamy pear pie, and … [Read more...]
Grass-Fed Pot Roast
Early last month---it might have been the cooler weather or the fact that I hadn't eaten red meat in a couple weeks, or it might have been since I already had a couple grass-fed chuck roasts in my freezer, purchased from a local farm---I got a fierce craving for pot roast. Now if you're anything like me, you've probably made pot roasts before. My versions were usually in a crock pot and surrounded by carrots and potatoes. Pot roast is one of those classic American dishes---like mashed potatoes and apple pie---that we have all had and made and probably prefer a certain way. As for me, I like my pot roasts very tender, flavorful and fragrant enough to turn the kitchen into a different place while cooking. It's kind of like my morning routine: where you might wake at a set time, have breakfast, read the paper and get in the car, I like to read and pray in bed before pulling out my laptop, still without having taken a shower, and get a few work things done. So early last … [Read more...]
Holiday Baking
At lunch the other day with Jacqui and her sister Jenny, we got talking about cookies and holiday baking, about how everyone has their favorite type of chocolate chip cookie and how my grandma used to make dozens of cookie tins to give away each year. I eventually found myself saying, with animation even, cookies are my favorite thing to bake, ever. And it's true. While this year is going to be my family's most low-key Christmas yet, with not a lot of celebrations to worry about or long shopping lists to work through, and I won't be seeing everyone I want to---a fact that gets me a little down when I start thinking about it---I'm still surprised to say that, here we are, December 13, and I haven't baked a single holiday cookie. (There were sticky buns this weekend though, so don't feel too sorry for me.) So in an effort to get myself back in the holiday-baking spirit and to point you to a few quality cookie recipes stashed away on this site, I present Christmas Cookies 2010. If … [Read more...]
Chicken Roulade
The truth is, I've been wanting to tell you about this chicken roulade recipe for over a week now---ever since last Tuesday, when I pulled chicken out of the fridge and wondered what to make for dinner. I'd gone through all the usual options in my mind, things I've had before, things I've made, but nothing sounded like it would be worth the high price tag of the Amish, antibiotic-free poultry I've been buying, nothing until this beautiful, impressive chicken roulade. Chicken roulade, if you've never heard of it, is essentially rolled chicken: the meat gets pounded and flattened into a large surface area; topped with cheese and a filling made of greens, onions, dried fruit, and nuts; rolled tightly; tied up with string; browned and baked. When it's finished, you slice the bundled breasts into slices stuffed with flavor and color, and it's the kind of thing that makes you go wow. This version comes from the lovely Angela of Spinach Tiger: she'd posted it as an idea for a … [Read more...]
Cheddar-Garlic Biscuits
Last night, two hours into a kitchen disaster that left dishes in the sink, flour on the counters and about a dozen buckwheat ravioli in the freezer (i.e., pasta with the texture of burlap), I gave thanks for the thing we call cooking. Because last night, cooking was part something to do, part a way to release energy and part an opportunity to be creative with concrete objects I could see, even if I turned those objects into tough dough set in thick sheets that didn't cut well. I am thankful cooking adapts to our days, adjusts to our needs. It has been, at times, a way to relax. At others, a chance to feel productive. The night before Thanksgiving, while I made a pie around midnight, it was the only thing that could keep my mind occupied. On the Saturday after, while I made another pie and then these cheddar-garlic biscuits, it was a welcome distraction and comfort, better than remembering the holiday ended and everyone had to go back home. Sometimes I don't even care … [Read more...]

BRADFORD, Ark. - The mayor, police chief and school librarian are all leaving for military duty Monday that is expected to take them to Iraq, and the residents left behind in this tiny town of 800 are scrambling to fill their roles.
At the local cafe and in school hallways, the callup and what to do about the loss of city leaders is the talk of the town. At city hall, meanwhile, officials have been rushing to prepare paperwork necessary to transfer the mayor's power to a 78-year-old retired school teacher.
The soon-to-be acting police chief says Bradford is just one example of how the war in Iraq has affected small town America.
"One way or another we're going to handle it," said Michael Ray, who will become the new police chief, along with his job as a school resources officer.
In addition to Mayor Paul Bunn, Chief Josh Chambliss and librarian Nolan Brown, five other residents of this farm town have received orders to report to Fort Hood, Texas. There, they will prepare for a tour of duty in Iraq.

Beglick Tash - Trakian's Rock Sanctuary
Primorsko has been populated even from the ancient Thracian tribes. Several Thracian sanctuaries and necropolis are discovered around the town. The most popular is the sanctuary of "Beglick Tash", which symbolizes the cult to the sun.
Beglick Tash is a very interesting place to visit and unique. This place unfortunately is still a little hard to find but with a help of people there you can manage.

Material: Naked Cowhide
Free shipping for all orders over $100 within the continental USA and APO.
I purchased my bomber jacket in 1988. I wear this jacket in the fall, winter and spring. It is comfortable, versatile and rugged. After all these years, it still looks and feels great.
While it borrows the best elements from various flight jackets, it all comes together in fine style. Crafted from some of the most supple leather I've ever felt with an amazing richness and depth to the finish. I feel sorry for people who pay similar or more money for "fashion" brand leather made overseas when any leather expert will tell you the highest quality leather jackets are made right here in the USA by companies like Schott.
This 184SML Leather Bomber is by far the best leather jacket I have ever owned. The materials and workmanship could not be better. You can't get a better value for the money ! And it's made in the USA !
I bought my first Schott for my 21st birthday. 25 years later, I'm treating myself to a new one. How many other could jackets stand up to daily wear for so long? Every scratch and scuff has a story behind it. Hears to the next 25 years of stories!
This jacket provides me with everything I look for in a high quality leather jacket - style, function, and durability. The grade and quality of materials along with the AMERICAN workmanship is truly second to none. The fit and "feel" of the jacket is something that, in my opinion, you can only find in a genuine Schott product. I recently purchased a Schott Perfecto 118 motorcycle jacket also, for riding. Well satisfied, highly recommended!
This jacket is substantial. It's heavy, and well built - built like a tank. If you want versatility, this one has it. Everything is rugged, including the monster zipper. I prefer this jacket's detachable collar to some other (older) Schott's I own. The naked Cow is a great looking hide. It's a somewhat dull black, not shiny like other jackets. I'm dying for fall so I can wear it daily.
Highly recommended. Not a fashion jacket made from thin hides!

Bleacher Report's Vick documentary well-produced and compelling, but lacks depth
Bleacher Report selected a compelling, timely subject for its first entry into the sports documentary space, Vick. The story of Michael Vick is a classic rise and fall narrative, one seemingly ideal for a 30 for 30 type of treatment. That's clearly what Bleacher Report is going for here, more than a biopic-type film that we might see from a HBO Sports production. But while B/R...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. consumers borrowed more in November to buy cars and attend school, but stayed cautious with their credit cards.
The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that consumers increased their borrowing in November by $16 billion from October to a seasonally adjusted record of $2.77 trillion.
Borrowing that covers autos and student loans increased $15.2 billion. A category that measures credit card debt rose just $817 million.
The sharp difference in the borrowing gains illustrates a broader trend that began after the Great Recession. Four years ago, Americans carried $1.03 trillion in credit card debt, an all-time high. In November, that figure was 16.5 percent lower.
At the same time, student loan debt has increased dramatically. The category that includes auto and student loans is 22.8 percent higher than in July 2008. Many Americans who have lost jobs have gone back to school to get training for new careers.
The November increase also reflected further gains in auto sales, which grew 13.4 percent in 2012 to top 14 million units for the first time in five years. The need to replace vehicles destroyed by Superstorm Sandy may have also contributed to the gain.
Consumer spending rebounded in November, helped by lower gas prices and solid job growth that carried over into December. Employers added 155,000 jobs in December and 161,000 in November.
Steady hiring may have encouraged consumers to keep borrowing and spending, despite tense negotiations to resolve the fiscal cliff.
Still, some analysts expect borrowing and spending may have slowed in December as those budget talks in Washington intensified. Congress and the White House didn't reach a deal to avert sharp tax increases until Jan. 1. And they delayed tougher decisions about spending cuts for another two months.
Consumer confidence fell in both November and December, which may slow spending in December. Consumer spending drives roughly 70 percent of economic activity.

Background and aims
Dryland soil organic carbon (C) pools account for a large portion of soil C globally, but their response to livestock grazing has been difficult to generalize. We hypothesized that some difficulty generalizing was due to spatial heterogeneity in dryland systems. We examined the importance of heterogeneity at vegetation and landform scales on the response of litter and soil C and nitrogen (N) to grazing.
Litter and soil C and N pools were quantified in different vegetation microsites (tree, shrub, open) and landform elements (dune, swale) across a grazing disturbance gradient in an eastern Australia semi-arid woodland.
Vegetation, landform, and grazing disturbance affected litter and soil C and N pools singly and through interactions. Resource pools were distributed unevenly across vegetation and landforms, and were largest beneath trees in swales. Grazing reduced pools in vegetation-landform combinations where pools were greatest. Pool increases from high to moderate disturbance sites were minimal.
Litter and soil C and N pools are strongly affected by livestock grazing, although responses to grazing relaxation may be non-linear. Accurately predicting C and N responses to grazing in drylands will require accounting for patch differences at multiple spatial scales.

The first reported cases occurred in Iowa, which has been hardest hit with 143 people falling ill so far. The first cases came in late June, with more infections reported through July.
Other states reporting large numbers of infections are Nebraska, with 78 cases, and Texas, with 101 cases.
It takes about a week for people who are infected to become sick.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC director, urged people who have suffered from diarrhea longer than a couple of days to be tested for cyclospora. Antibiotics can be used to treat severe cases of infection.
Earlier outbreaks of cyclospora have been traced back to fruits and vegetables imported from tropical regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia, where the parasite is common, Parise and Hirsch said.
"Our food supply system is large, complex and centralized. We get foods from all over the world, and they are packaged together and sent very, very quickly," Hirsch said. "I look at large outbreaks like this, and it makes me wonder if more locally grown foods would be safer."
People who want to avoid infection should thoroughly wash all their fruits and vegetables, Hirsch said. They also should wash cooking surfaces and utensils with hot, soapy water.
"For the most part, it's a miserable nuisance, but the concern I have as a doctor is for patients whose immune systems are weakened [and] have a real hard time with this infection," Hirsch said. He urged extra caution for people undergoing cancer treatment, recovering from an organ transplant or dealing with HIV infection.

Usually, if I request an image sized to a maximum width of 80px, I get an image that is 80px wide.
However, sometimes, it seems to do odd things. For example, here's a 124x124 original sized down to 79x79 even though the request is for a maximum of 80:

Layer masks have got to be one of the most intimidating parts of Photoshop Elements. They're one of those tools we hear about from day one, but aren't exactly sure how to use them or whether the benefit is worth the steep learning curve.
Here's the good thing about layer masks – once they click, once you get that lightbulb moment, you're done. There's nothing complicated about them from that point on.
Today's the day for your lightbulb to pop. Ready?
(Oh wait. Have you conquered masking already? Here are some articles on advanced topics:
- Huge Layer Mask tip
- Copying layer masks
- How to fake a layer mask – PSE 8 and earlier
- Layer Mask Troubleshooting – your mask isn't broken, I promise!
Take a picture like this:
Selective black and white is the classic example for learning layer masks on. Here's why:
A layer mask allows you to constrain an effect in Elements to a specific part of your image. If you want part of your image black and white, and part color, a layer mask will let you place the black and white effect only in the area that you want it.
This screen shot comes from MCP's Fusion for Photoshop Elements, by the way.
Every layer in that layers palette from the screen shot above has a layer mask. It's the white box just to the left of the layer name. Notice how the top mask is different – the one on One Click B&W? That is the layer that creates the B&W effect, and that is the mask that I used to constrain the B&W to the background only.
And how is that One Click B&W different? It's got black on it in addition to white. This brings us to this key point about using layer masks:
Black conceals, white reveals.
In other words, where ever a mask is black, the effect is concealed, or hidden. Where ever a mask is white, the effect is revealed. So the black and white conversion is showing only where the mask is white, that is, the background.
Lightbulbs shining yet?
Notice how the black area on the layer mask is pretty much a silhouette of my daughter? That's why she is still in color. I have hidden the B&W from her part of the picture.
So now that you get why you should use layer masks, how do you use them?
- First off, find the layer whose effects you want to constrain (One Click B&W in this case)
- Click on that layer to activate it. See how my One Click layer is darker?
- If there isn't a white outline around the mask, click on it. Once that white outline is there:
- Select your brush tool and make your paint color either black or white, depending on whether you want to conceal or reveal.
That's it. As long as that white outline is around the layer mask, you are painting on it. However, if that white outline is missing, you'll actually be painting black and white paint scribbles on your image rather than the mask. Don't do that – it will look funny!
I bet some of you can think of other ways to do this same thing in Elements, right? However, other methods are destructive.
That means that your pixels will be changed forever, once you change them. But not with layer masks. For instance, you could add a black and white layer and erase the parts of the B&W that you didn't want.
Let's say I did that – I have a black and white layer on top of a color layer. I used the eraser tool to erase the B&W pixels on top of my daughter, so that the color pixels from the layer below show through. Ok, fine, the pic looks great, I save it and post it on my blog. Then I decide that I want to enlarge it and print it to hang up on the wall. I notice that I painted sloppily and I have color spilling over onto the wood of the rocking chair in several spots. However, I used my eraser tool on my B&W layer, right? Those B&W pixels are gone forever and I can't un-erase them to repair this photo.
But with a layer mask, everything is different. I would pick up my brush tool with white as the foreground color, make sure my layer mask had a white outline on it, and then paint over those areas of overspill on the wood to let the B&W shine through everywhere it should. As long as I save my file as a PSD to keep the layers, I can make those changes today, tomorrow or 10 years from now. My pixels will always be there.
Need another reason to use layer masks?
You can vary the AMOUNT of an effect that is applied to various parts of your image. Say that I want to finish by sharpening this image. However, I don't want to sharpen evenly across the picture. I'd like my daughter's face to be the sharpest, her chest sharp, but not as sharp, and I want the rest of the image to retain the nice blur that it has.
So that means that her face needs to be white on the mask (right?) because I want the sharpening effect to shine through. And the background that I want soft and blurry should be black, because I don't want any sharpening there. How about her chest, that I want to be somewhat sharp? Well, I guess that area should be somewhat white, meaning that a little sharpening is showing. Or somewhat black, meaning that a little bit a blur is showing.
How about GRAY?
Using the brush opacity slider, which you can see in the tool options bar above, I paint with white as my foreground color at 100% opacity over her face. That means it's pure white, and the sharpening is showing through at 100%. Then, I reduce the opacity of the brush to 50%, which lets 50% of the sharpening shine through. I paint on her hair and face at 50%, and my resulting layer mask looks like this:
You can see how the mask actually shows where I painted white and where I painted gray, right? Note that the brush opacity is not the same as the layer opacity at the top right corner of the layers palette.
(That Exact-o-Sharp selective sharpening layer came from MCP's Fusion also.)
I hope your lightbulbs are all shining brightly now. Any questions?
If you want more info like this, my March round of Elements classes begins this week. Check out the topics and schedule here.

ingrid Says :
Thanks! I'm pretty comfortable with masks but it always helps to read up on them. I do have one tiny question, in a few of MCP's actions Jody's instructions state to "erase details by painting w/white on the black mask". I follow her instructions and it works but Im curious why for those particular ones it's different.
Great observation, Ingrid. MCP's All in the Details has a few masks that work "backwards." That is due to the unique structure of that action and to give users maximum control over the "details."
Wendi Says :
I have often simply made a copy of the background layer, used the effect I wanted (blurred, or black an white, etc) and then used the eraser tool (sometimes at differing opacities) to reveal the parts of the background that I want to. Out of curiosity, and wanting to better my editing, I'm wondering in what ways is using layer masks superior to this method?
Hi Wendi! If you use a layer mask, you can always go back and edit your changes on a PSD file. For instance, if you print the image and realize you erased too much of your blur, you can use the layer mask to bring it right back. But the Eraser tool is destructive – once you erase and save your image, you can never undo. I almost never use the eraser tool, although lots of people do.
I use actions a lot. My question is, do I 'merge down' or 'flatten' when I am done with the action I'm using? What is the difference between the two? Thanks!
Hi Judy. When running actions, I always flatten. I think that Merge Down only Merges 2 layers together. For actions, you generally need to merge them all.

OMGosh!! You explain this is in such an easy to understand fashion…. Please, keep doing what ur doing…. ♥ it!!
Lisa Says :
How do I get the "One Click B&W" layer. I am using PSE 9, windows 7
Hi Lisa, that layer comes from MCP's new Fusion action set for Elements.

[…] Wow my skin looks bad again! Never never sharpen skin. Thats why you do all this in layers. Here is a good place to learn about layers and layer masks. It takes time to learn but it's […]
I have Photoshop Elements 11 and I've been trying to learn how to use the mask tool. I got it to work a couple times last night but the tool keeps locking and not allowing me to use it. The red mask/selection is also not showing up. I was only able to bring color out to a photo I turned to black and white. And now I don't even remember how I did that…. How do I make sure the mask tool doesn't lock and how do I unlock it? I am using a Mac Book Pro.
Speaking as someone just getting to grips with Elements (now version 11) this was very helpful, so thanks for posting.
Timmy Jo
I had never really dived into masking at all either with PSE7 or PSE11. However, using PSE11, I lately have been selecting a portion of my photo and then creating a layer for editing just that portion. I notice that in PSE11, you can either "select" or "mask" just by using a check box; in other words, the "selection" tool toggles to a "mask" tool if you want it to. For example, I always brighten smiles by choosing the brush tool which gives me either the selection or mask option. Masking is easier for me (since I only have a mouse to work with), so I choose that, and I can even choose the color to mask with. Once the smile is masked, I switch back to the selection tool. Then I choose "select inverse", make a hue/saturation adjustment layer for the teeth that are masked/selected and turn the yellow saturation slider way down. Then I turn the master lightness slider up to about 3 or 4. I found this technique online some time back.
I would really like to learn true masking, though. It must be very similar to what I am doing with the teeth brightening technique described above.
Nice easy instructions, don't forget you can press the key to highlight the mask area in pink which can sometimes make it easier.

What are some of the major issues in the horse industry (particularly in Kentucky) that concern you the most?
The Thoroughbred industry as a whole faces a multitude of issues that make it difficult to run a sustainable operation in today's economy. One of the larger issues the industry is facing is the lack of profitability and the sheer amount of time and capital invested in our product.
This is by all means a capital-intensive industry. The commercial breeders who remain are just now getting out from under investments made before and during the recession. Those breeders with limited resources were forced to either disperse their bloodstock to reduce expenses or decrease the amount of money they could invest into stud fees. Those that were able to survive are now trying to dig out from under several years of churning losses.
Another issue the industry is facing is marketing and customer service. I'm not just talking about the way we treat the racing public, but also the way we treat our investors and new owners.
Racing is all about the experience; it hooks you instantly. If we expect to bring in new owners, we need to give them a first-class experience. If they can't expect to make a profit, they should at least expect to feel like they got their money's worth. Open doors and communication can take that a long way.
I have seen some promising public initiatives that are in the works, and I'm optimistic that we can turn a corner in marketing our product and creating new fans. A great example is Churchill Downs and what they have done with night racing, concerts, promotions, etc. America's Best Racing at www.followhorseracing.com also has some good things working.
On the state level, I'd like to see us do a few things. As a young person in the industry, it frustrates me sometimes to see the lack of cooperation from our state government and the overall lack of appreciation for the state's largest agricultural product. Our state imposes a 6 percent sales tax on any yearling bought in Kentucky that stays in Kentucky, yet if you take the yearling out of the state, you do not have to pay taxes.
We have completely changed operations at Margaux to encompass a training center in order to keep horses in Kentucky, yet our own state government is openly incentivizing buyers to take our own horses to other states. I'd like to see horses get the same agricultural tax breaks on feed and supplies as other livestock.

The inability to shift data (add rows/columns) or sort in any way severely limits the organizational capabilities of the plugin, but it's hard to complain when you can use this collaboratively AND can export the data to Excel. Looking forward to seeing where this plugin goes!!
