Netanyahu Limits Gaza Goals to Make Declaring Victory Easier
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is limiting the declared goals of his Gaza operation, sticking to a script that may allow him to declare victory even if not all supporters and cabinet colleagues are satisfied, analysts said.
In Israel's 2006 war in Lebanon, then-premier Ehud Olmert announced a target of neutralizing Hezbollah, then failed to persuade the public that it had been met. Mindful of the precedent, Netanyahu has hammered on a single theme during much of his public talk about the current war with Hamas, the Islamist group that rules Gaza. He says Israel intends to destroy all the tunnels that connect Gaza to Israel's southern towns, and have been used by militants to stage attacks.
"Netanyahu is setting the level of ambitions at an appropriately modest level so he can say 'we achieved what we set out to do'," said Jonathan Spyer, a political scientist at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center.
As the U.S. and United Nations announced a 72-hour humanitarian truce with backing from both sides to start later today, support for continuing the operation was almost universal among Israel's Jewish population, according to opinion polls, even after more than 1,400 Palestinians and 56 Israeli soldiers died. The domestic backing, underpinned by a desire to end years of rocket fire from Gaza, contrasts with growing international unease at the death toll. President Barack Obama and UN chief Ban Ki-moon are among world leaders calling for an immediate halt.
What Next?
When it comes to the question of when to stop, there are divergent views both among the Israeli public and within Netanyahu's cabinet, underscoring the need for the premier to outline a clear exit strategy.
"We are determined to finish this operation, with or without a cease-fire," Netanyahu said yesterday. "We won't agree to any proposal that won't let the military complete the mission."
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman has urged the cabinet to approve a reoccupation of Gaza nine years after Israel pulled out thousands of soldiers and settlers. Others, including Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, say Israel should continue its campaign until the territory is demilitarized.
Such operations would risk losing the lives of hundreds of soldiers, something that could fray the national unity Netanyahu now enjoys, said Spyer.
That unity may not last in any case, according to polls that show overwhelming support for what's been done so far, and differences over what should happen next.
'Right Decision'
As of last week, more than 90 percent of Israeli Jews backed the ground operation in Gaza and only 3 percent felt it wasn't achieving its objectives, according to a survey by the Department of Sociology at the University of Haifa released yesterday. It questioned 1,007 people between July 23 and 25, and cited a 3.2 percent margin of error.
Half of those questioned, though, said that the overthrow of Hamas rule should be a condition for ending the offensive, while 17 percent backed Liberman's reoccupation plan. Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the European Union and the U.S., seized control of Gaza from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction in 2007 after winning elections the previous year.
In three polls by the Israel Democracy Institute last week, more than 60 percent said they would oppose a temporary unilateral cease-fire or a mutual truce to create a window for negotiations.
"The Israeli public obviously expects a larger operation, but eventually Netanyahu will have to make the decision and communicate it to the people in a way that convinces them that he made the right decision," said Efraim Inbar, a political scientist at Bar Ilan University.
'Ineffectual Rockets'
The 72-hour humanitarian truce was to begin at 8 a.m. An e-mailed statement from the U.S. and UN said Israeli and Palestinian delegations would "immediately be going to Cairo for negotiations with the government of Egypt" aimed at reaching a "durable cease-fire." The sides would be able to "raise all issues of concern," the statement said.
Hamas has said any accord must lift the eight-year blockade of Gaza, while Israel seeks to end rocket fire, dismantle tunnels and make it hard for Hamas to rearm.
While a truce may yet be agreed that meets the concerns of both sides, even if Israel pulls out unilaterally it will be in a "much better situation" than before the war, said Shlomo Brom, senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies. Hamas's rockets are "ineffectual," and "the only real problem we had was the tunnels and they would be taken care of," he said.
'Justifiable Goal'
Almost 3,000 rockets have been fired at Israel since the conflict escalated on July 8 and the Israeli air force has struck more than 4,000 sites in Gaza. The army says it has destroyed 30 tunnels and is "taking care" of more.
Netanyahu is also earning points among those who criticized him for the collapse of U.S.-mediated talks with Palestinians in April, because he's resisting the maximal demands of Liberman and Bennett, said Cameron Brown, a research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University.
By contrast, destruction of the tunnels is a "relatively realistic and justifiable goal," Brown said. "This makes him look quite moderate."

I started as a computer/electrical engineer, wanting to make thinking computers. But then I thought, why not study the really big computer. I retooled in Pittsburgh, moved to Montreal and then Cambridge and now Paris. Research in vision is an adventure of discovery, full of surprises and challenges, with the ever pleasant company of hardy, ingenious colleagues and students. We are like tourists observing and describing the mysterious customs and rituals of the visual system. OK, sometimes the weather turns bad, the luggage is lost, and we take the wrong road. But what a fabulous trip. Currently traveling through attention and the position sense.

Grace Edwards
At the University of Glasgow I completed a masters and PhD on predictive feedback to the primary visual cortex (V1) during saccades under the supervision of Prof. Lars Muckli. V1 has been found to receive cortical feedback from higher order regions which aid processing of sensory input. However, the effect of continuous eye-movements on the feedback of higher cortical signals to V1 had not been established. Using visual illusions and complex natural scene paradigms in fMRI, we showed that saccade initiation caused cortical signals to be fed-back to new retinotopic regions of V1, indicating that feedback can update in-time with saccadic eye-movements.
In the CAVLab, my interest in saccadic remapping has been furthered through studying predictive target perception according to saccade maps. Saccade maps are retinotopically organized locations of saccade targets thought to be created by the frontal eye fields (FEF) and/or intraparietal sulcus (IPS). Specifically, we aim to study the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over FEF and IPS to determine if the magnetic stimulation affects predictive target perception in motion extrapolation and saccadic remapping of expected stimuli.
Céline Paeye
Focusing on control and learning in the human oculomotor system, my work aims at showing that eye movement consequences can play a fundamental – reinforcing – role in the modification of saccadic properties.
First, in the series of experiments I conducted during my undergraduate and graduate studies in Lille 3 under Prof. L. Madelain's supervision, we eliminated retinal error and provided auditory consequences after saccades met specific criteria of gain median or variability. The increases and decreases induced in gain levels were similar to adaptations obtained via a double-step paradigm, and our reinforcement procedures modified saccadic gain variability independently of the median. These results show that a general operant learning process can guide changes in saccadic gain distributions. These studies focused on single horizontal saccades.
Then I studied saccades generated during visual search. We designed a new research paradigm involving a visual search task where finding a target among distractors was effective at reinforcing various levels of saccadic amplitude variability. I extended this work during a first postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. K. Gegenfurtner and Dr. A. Schütz by assessing the influence of learned contingencies between specific saccadic responses and their visual consequences during a visual search task in a noisy background. Taken together, these findings indicate that in real life, seeing the target appears to be a visual consequence determining visual search strategies.
In the CAVlab, I am currently investigating how learning influences the perception of the predicted saccadic consequences. After saccade targets had changed during the eye movement, what did we (learn to) see?

Harry Haladjian
My research focuses on visual attention and visual information processing, primarily through studies on multiple object tracking, object-based feature binding, numerosity perception, spatial memory, and eye movements. I'm also interested in philosophical matters concerning perception and consciousness, and have been collaborating with philosophers on projects that address these topics.
I received my PhD in Cognitive Psychology (2011) from Rutgers University under the supervision of Zenon Pylyshyn (with specializations in Cognitive Science and Perceptual Science). After a short post-doc at the Universit de Franche-Comt with Fabien Mathy, I moved to Australia in 2012 for a three-year postdoctoral research position in the Foundational Processes of Behaviour group at the University of Western Sydney. In October 2015, I joined the Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception to work with Patrick Cavanagh on projects that examine the various forms of visual attention. I continue to use psychophysical methods to gain a better understanding of attention and memory, and how they contribute to conscious awareness.
Graduate Students
Arielle Veenemans
After finishing an MSc in Neurosciences at Utrecht University including an 8 month internship at the Vision Lab in Boston, I started a PhD with Patrick Cavanagh in the CAV lab in Paris in November 2008. I am interested in many different aspects of vision such as crowding, grouping, object recognition, binding etc. The brain's ability to process an large amount of different elements in a matter of milliseconds and build a coherent concept from that information is truly amazing. However, the brain sometimes fails or takes an alternative approach, which can also help us understand the mechanisms behind perception better. And why does the brain choose to use certain cues while ignoring others? These are all questions that keep me busy. Apart from psychophysics I have a sweet tooth for fMRI and would like to learn about other techniques some time in the future as well.

Cecile Eymond
I joined the Cavlab as a PhD student to study visual attention across saccadic eye movements. Patrick Cavanagh and Therese Collins are my co-supervisors.
I have a background in mechanical engineering, which was driven by my curiosity to explore how the world works. At that time, perception and the complexity of the human brain already fascinated me. My recent switch to psychology focuses my interests onto the attentional system and visual processing.
Eye movements bring onto the fovea parts of the world, providing detailed visual information. A first question of my project deals with peripheral, i.e. non-foveal, visual features and their correspondence between pre- and post- saccadic positions. Oculometric measurements and performance in visual searches will be used to disentangle how feature-based attention and eye movements could interact.
Clara Bourrelly
After a Master in integrative and cognitive neurosciences at Aix-Marseille University, I joined Patrick Cavanagh's ERC Advanced Project POSITION as a Doctoral Student. My research is essentially based at the Timone Neuroscience Institute in Marseille where, with Laurent Goffart, we study the neurophysiology of the visual orienting reaction. My study is focused on the visual tracking behavior, particularly, on deciphering the processes that maintain saccades toward a moving object accurate, and how these processes are built. Another important question relate to the brain encoding of the current position of a moving object.
Nika Adamian
My interest in studies of visual perception and attention developed during the undergraduate course in Psychology in Saint Petersburg State University, Russia. My undergraduate research project with Dr. Maria Kuvaldina aimed to elucidate the mechanisms behind the phenomenon of inattentional blindness. In 2012-2013, I joined the Attention Group in Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (Oxford, UK) as a Masters student supervised by Dr. Mark Stokes and Dr. MaryAnn Noonan. My research project was using EEG to explore the neural mechanisms for selective inhibition. I am fascinated by the evidence of how the brain predicts the future states of the world and how, overall, prediction shapes perception. This is why I am excited to immerse myself in the world of saccade and attention studies joining Patrick Cavanagh and Therese Collins as a PhD student. My project will explore the coding of location in the brain, using a number of striking prediction-related phenomena.

NEW YORK (AP) - If Barbara Walters wants to leave ABC News, Dan Rather would love to see her at CBS.
"I'd love to have her come aboard,'' Rather said on Fox News Channel on Tuesday. "She'd be a great asset.''
The veteran TV newswoman has been disgruntled with ABC since the network announced last week it was temporarily moving her newsmagazine, "20/20,'' from Fridays to Wednesdays next fall.
Walters has mentioned that she has an opt-out clause coming up later this year in the five-year contract she signed last fall. She said on "The View'' this week that she has already gotten other offers.
On Fox News Channel, Paula Zahn asked Rather if he would like to see Walters co-anchor the "CBS Evening News'' with him.
"I'd pay cash money to see it happen any day, any time,'' Rather said.

A third-party program will write files to a SSHFS mounted dir. If the internet connection is lost, the third-party program will likely crash (badly), because all programs trying to access such an SSHFS mounted dir in such a state (when there's no internet connection) are put into what some describe as "uninterruptible sleep". SSHFS has an option to auto-reconnect, but this doesn't help, as the third-party program will still hang (and crash) if the connection is lost (even though when the connection is restored, SSHFS will remount the dir). Autofs will not help, basically it's about the behavior of SSHFS when the connection is lost. Why can't it behave like a network shared directory (Samba or other means) and simply return an error sooner rather than... never?
Are there alternatives to SSHFS if SSHFS can't work as described?

I carry at around the 3:30 position. I've noticed when I'm around people rather it be the mall, Walmart, walking down the sidewalk, someones home, anywhere I'm around people, I keep my arm over my gun. It gives someone something to bump into rather than my gun. It's kept me from being discovered many times.
I've also dreaded "hugs" anymore. If I'm waiting in line to be hugged, I take notice how the person hugs, so when they get to me, I'm prepared to hug in a way they don't feel my gun.
Sometimes no matter what you do you still get busted!
Walking out of a restaurant last week, the owner approached on my left side. My weapon is on my right IWB.
I complemented her on the outstanding fare and she almost dove toward me throwing her arm around my waist... you guessed it, her hand plopped right on my 1911!
I just hugged her back and acted like nothing was out of the normal.
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!
"A superior Operator is best defined as someone who uses his superior
judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."
I complemented her on the outstanding fare and she almost dove toward me throwing her arm around my waist... you guessed it, her hand plopped right on my 1911!
Now there's one way to ensure great service the next time you're there!
One thing I have noticed before with others who carry is that sometimes they have a tendency to put their hand in the pocket in an effort to protect their sidearm. IMO this creates a two fold problem:
1. Having your hands in your pockets is almos likened to getting caught with your pants down.
2. You inadvertantly pull your cover garment forward and then are printing from behind.
I made a guy the other day because he had his right hand in his pants pocket.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Exactly why I carry at 1-1:30...these scenarios become a non-issue.
If you can read this, thank a teacher; if you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.
I like hugs.
And I really don't care if someone finds out I have a gun.
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
Non-gun people don't think the same way we do. With all the modern electronics on belts, I doubt if the issue even crossed their minds. Those of us who carry will know immediately, and unless there is a threat, won't mind a bit.
I used to think that this was a much bigger thing than it has ever turned out to be. Like all of us I must, from time to time, face up to my share of "huggers" and with all the other stuff that is carried on belts these days (e.g. phones, PDA's, fanny packs, tons of electronic "stuff") the thought of being instantaneously made fades into relative significance. If someone touches my carry piece I just don't react one way or another and go on with life. So far, no problems
De gustibus non est disputandem
I avoid those scenarios. Or maybe they avoid me? I have this invisible force field around me at all times. Any infringements in the outer perimeter are detected immediately, and no matter the circumstances or environment, actions are automatically taken. If I see a fast approaching bogey on the screen, more than likely offensive actions will be taken in order to warn or thwart the impending space violation. Nobody 'bumps' into me--nobody gets that close. Maybe it's my aura? It just don't happen, and it won't. Hugs? Even friends and family know I'm not too receptive to these actions. They respect that I guess.
Oh good grief.
I like hugs from the ladies and I won't go out of my way to avoid them.
In fact... If the hug-ee were to slightly "goose" the hug-er during the hugging process it might lead to something very interesting.
Who cares if some sweet thing feels my weapon when hugging me? I'm merely excercising my right to carry and I've got nothing to hide.
I don't have a problem with it. The hug thing is easy as said, you control the way that happens and I never have a probelm, plus I don't care as anyone I am hugging is close enough that it doesn't matter and as to with anyone in stores, I played basketball and was taught to keep my elbows out for defense!
Really tho, my girlfriends sister, a friend of mine was laying on my side on top of my gun (owb in an alessi cqc) at Christmas on the couch and never said a word or acted as if it was a bother. It's either she didn't know it was there, didn't care (as she knows I carry) or just plan didn't even think about it or put two and two together.
Most people don't out two and two together. Very, very few people, almost none will pick up on what they bumped into on your side as most are clueless to the carry thing.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
I've gotten to the point where I don't worry about it any more. Being from the South were most people seem to be huggers I get hugged frequently. Working at a woman's college and solving research problems means I get hugged more frequently than most men in the South. People see me use my cell phone (in a case on the belt), my knife (in right front pocket), and my flash light (on belt) all of which are around the waist and hip area. If some one bumps into a mag on the belt, a pistol on the belt, or a pistol in a pocket they think nothing about it. Even if they do wonder what it is, if you act like nothing happened they will forget it in a few seconds. If you suddenly react to the touch then the toucher will begin to wonder.

ASU football practice report: Sunday, August 11, 2013
Mo Latu had minor surgery on his right knee last month. The 6-foot-3 sophomore nose tackle had his weight balloon to 380 pounds. As a result, he spent most of the first week of ASU practice at "Muscle Beach," riding the stationary bike.
Sunday, Latu was back on the field, and he made an impact. Lining up with the second-defense, Latu — who bench pressed 225 pounds a team-high 40 times last month — seemed to knock down offensive linemen on every snap.
"It feels great to be back in contact," said Latu, a Gilbert Perry High product. "… Getting off the ball was one of my fears but after the first hit, I just couldn't stop."
ASU's biggest defensive emphasis entering coach Todd Graham's second season is stopping the run, Last year, the Sun Devils ranked 10th in the Pac-12, allowing 182.8 rushing yards per game. To succeed this season, Latu likely will have to contribute. The Sun Devils would like him to play 10-15 plays a game.
"Mo's deal is just about getting into shape," Graham said. "When I moved him over there (from offensive guard in the spring), there was no doubt he could help us. You're not going to move him. He's just got to mature and get mentally tough. The only one who can stop Mo is Mo."
After Sunday's practice, Latu said his weight was down to 372. He'd like to be at 330 sometime soon.
"I'll be down there," he said, "(but) it's going to be a long journey."
Viliami Moeakiola is getting an extended look at first-team field safety, one of the bigger position battles of ASU's camp. Freshman Marcus Ball is in the mix here, as is junior-college transfer Damarious Randall, even though he's sidelined with a groin issue.
Moeakiola (6-0, 210) said he's trying to shut out all the outside noise and just concentrate on his effort and attitude. It's a complex position — the quarterback of the defense — and Moeakiola says he just needs to refine some little things.
Last year the Euless, Texas, native put himself in position to contribute as a true freshman, playing in three games before tearing his left hamstring, an injury that turned his season into a medical red-shirt.
"Yeah, man, it definitely wasn't easy," Moeakiola said. "But every day I had great support from my family and from ASU and Coach Graham and everybody in the training room getting me through rehab."
Now he hopes it pays off.
"I just need to bring it every day and show Coach I'm dependable," Moeakiola said. "Show him that he can have confidence in me."
*For the second consecutive day, star defensive tackle Will Sutton started practice with the offense. Just like Saturday, he stayed for just a few minutes before returning to the defense.
"We're going to play him at fullback on some short-yardage (situations) and on some Power I sets," Graham said. "He's pretty powerful."
If this surprises you, you haven't paid attention. Graham historically has had no problem playing his stars in different positions or on special teams.
*Sophomore Carlos Mendoza started with the first-team defense at spur linebacker. Mendoza is off to a slow start in camp, battling knee and conditioning issues. It's a major reason why Graham on Sunday listed this position (along with field safety) as a concern. Senior Anthony Jones also is an option at spur. Redshirt-freshman Matthew Rowe has gotten looks. It'll be interesting to see if sophomore Antonio Longino, a junior-college transfer, gets a shot.
*After practicing five consecutive days, ASU showed signs of hitting the wall Sunday. Graham, however, was pleased to see Sutton and senior safety Alden Darby barking at teammates, trying to get them to rally.
*As each day passes, it seems more certain that junior Tyler Sulka will lock up the first-team right tackle job, ending competition along ASU's front. Sulka practiced with the first group for the third consecutive day. "He's had two outstanding days," Graham said. "I haven't seen today, but (Friday and Saturday) he really, really did well. And that allows us to put (junior) Jamil (Douglas) back with (senior Evan) Finkenberg and we've got that whole leftside the same from last year."
*ASU practiced its 3-3-5 odd-stack defense for the first time. Senior Gannon Conway, senior Will Sutton and sophomore Jaxon Hood were up front. The linebackers: Senior Steffon Martin, junior Carl Bradford and senior Chris Young.
*At Saturday's ASU Media Day, Graham said he had concerns about the punting game, but Sunday he backed off. "When you play in high school, it's a lot slower and all that; we're wanting to get it off a lot faster," Graham said. "And they were getting it off in under two seconds (Sunday) and hitting it, but I think it took them a little bit to get adjusted to it." Junior Dom Vizzare, a non-scholarship player, recently has gotten first-team reps over freshman Matt Haack. Vizzare appears to have the stronger leg, but he's not as consistent. "Both punters had a great day," Graham said.
*The newcomers at receiver got a lot of attention the first week, but a couple of veterans played well Sunday. Sophomore Rick Smith got behind ASU's secondary twice for long plays, and I thought senior Alonzo Agwuenu rebounded after a slow start. "Rick Smith is really impressing me," Graham said. "He's running away from people and you can tell he's matured quite a bit."
*Junior-college transfer Jaelen Strong and freshman Ellis Jefferson each worked with the first team at different times Sunday.
Freshman receiver Cameron Smith didn't practice. He appeared to hurt his right hamstring at Saturday's practice. Junior receiver Joe Morris (foot) wore a green "no-contact" jersey. Graham said Morris could see his first action in about a week. He's expected to contribute at receiver and on special teams. Others wearing green: senior running back Kyle Middlebrooks (knee) and junior safety Damarious Randall (groin). Redshirt-freshman defensive tackle Kisima Jagne worked out on Muscle Beach. Junior tight end DeMarieya Nelson got his hamstring worked on after practice.
ASU is scheduled to practice at 8:30 a.m. in Sun Devil Stadium. The session is closed to the public. Later, the Sun Devils will bus to Camp Tontozona, where they will practice through Saturday's scrimmage.

Hormones to Blame continued...
And when cortisol levels are high enough, the body turns on its fight-or-flight response, a woman becomes more metabolically charged, and her appetite is stimulated. This, in turn, causes a woman to seek out carbs and fat, "the actual fuels of the fight-and-flight response," Peeke says.
Whether a woman will crave sweets or croissants, though, depends on yet another player: the brain chemical serotonin, she says. Most women with PMS experience a drop in serotonin levels, which triggers cravings for carbs because the body uses carbs to make serotonin.
"If cortisol is high and serotonin is low, you'll seek carbs and fats, but really heavy duty on the simple carbs -- sugar-based sweets like chocolate bars," Peeke says. The reason: Simple sugars are metabolized more quickly than complex carbs, so they offer a quick serotonin fix.
If cortisol is way up but serotonin is relatively normal, a woman is more likely to crave a fat-carb combo without a huge sweet component, such as a bagel laden with cream cheese, Peeke says.
The Blood-Sugar Connection
Other research has linked PMS to a state of low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, in the second half of the menstrual cycle, says Susan M. Lark, MD, a clinician in Los Altos, Calif., and author of Premenstrual Syndrome Self-Help Book: A Woman's Guide to Feeling Good All Month. "Women in these studies experienced a significant drop in blood sugar after eating, accompanied by edginess and irritability," Lark says. "Then within an hour or two, they are hungry again and craving more food."
Whether it's blood sugar, cortisol, or serotonin levels that are out of whack, experts say, eating huge servings of ice cream, chocolate, and chips are not the only way to bring levels backs into check -- in fact, they are the worst way. Proper nutrition and lifestyle habits will achieve the same thing, with long-lasting results.
12 Ways To Fight PMS Cravings
How to Fight Food Cravings
So how can a woman combat PMS cravings and keep from gaining weight?
Eat complex carbs
Though it might seem counterintuitive to feed a diet, Wurtman suggests reaching for a snack high in complex carbs whenever you feel an attack of the grumpies coming on. Taking in a few extra calories in rice cakes now will prevent you from raiding the icebox later on. Meals also should be high in complex carbs, such as whole-grain breads, pasta, and cereals. "Eaten on an empty stomach, baked potatoes, even half a bagel or low-sugar cereals, will increase serotonin levels within an hour," Wurtman says.

What's New
Memories is back!
Actually, it never was gone. This release not only fixes some of the long overdue bugs, it also introduces a completely rewritten iCloud synchronization & video recording and OS X 10.11 El Capitan compatibility. And the best of all? It is a completely free update for you! (In fact we never charged for updates since the first release in January 2011)
Keep on reading if you want to know about the exciting new features of your favorite diary app.
• Completely rewritten iCloud synchronization code. On the first launch you can chose if you want to use iCloud to keep your journal up to date on all of your devices.
• Made iCloud synchronization faster & more stable.
• Added new system preferences pane that lets you either move your data from or to iCloud. It is no longer necessary to chose upfront if you want encrypted, seamless sync of your journal in the background.
• Added de-duplication of your entries when turning iCloud on / off.
• Recording videos was completely rewritten from scratch. All crashes (especially after finishing the recording session) should be gone now. It also got faster to record multiple videos in succession.
• Added new About window.
• OS X 10.9 Mavericks is a requirement now.
• Improved application security so that strangers will have an even harder time to reverse-engineer the cryptography algorithms and read your entries.
• HTTPS calls are used now everywhere it is currently possible.
• Application speed got an overall improvement (due to algorithm optimization or introduction of background operations).
• Auto-save in the background now makes sure that there are changes to your journal before it saves. The auto-save functionality is programmed very defensively, but this sometimes led to 5–6 background save calls when no data was changed at all.
• Improved journal save handling so that operations on the database are more stable.
• Modernized application to be more stable under newer versions of OS X.
• User interface improvements, especially under OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
• It got easier to get in touch with us right from within the app.
• Fixed an infinite loop on iCloud import with separate databases from multiple devices that weren't previously associated with iCloud.
• The app was sometimes crashing when the map view was open.
• The sidebar wasn't showing up under certain circumstances on newer versions of OS X. It correctly hides / unhides now.
• You are required to enter your email address now if you want to get in touch with us (support, feedback, bug reports). That's the only way we can answer & help you.
• Fixed some smaller typos in the user interface.

I'm a complete beginner and noobie
trying to edit this piece of coding, since plugins have no effect.
What I initially tried to accomplish was: when clicking on the main category, child categories toggle (appear, disappear).
I just can't figure it out.
So the next thing I tried is to have one link toggle all child categories at the same time.
This is what I did:
I need to make this piece of coding work correctly, so people can toggle the category children. It now toggles everything...
The following is a piece of coding from sidebar.php, from a custom theme...
Here's the coding: http://www.noukiesims2.net/the%20coding.txt
The exclude="('34,38,36,1,37,10,33,7') numbers refer to categories I want to be excluded from the toggling.
See the toggle in action on http://www.noukiesims2.net/wp
My questions are:
1. Is this even possible? If so, how to correcty apply this?
2. Is doing all categories seperately possible? If so, how to correctly apply this?
Thank you very much for helping out this noobie :)
Greetings from Nouk

Quartz-Counter Timeline: Step 4
Wait, but not too long. Assuming your base cabinets are in and your kitchen is otherwise complete, the fabricator can get the slab from the distributor or direct from the manufacturer and shape it to your specs in about a week. If you're using multiple slabs, consider asking the fabricator to get them from the same manufacturing batch to ensure the best possible match.

Chinese Chicken
Total Time
1hr 10mins
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr
Delicious marinated chicken.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄2 lbs chicken wings or 2 1⁄2 lbs chicken parts (if using wings, divide them at the joints and discard the wing tips -- I use them to make stock)
- 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄8 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 -3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ginger powder or 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- Mix everything but chicken in a large glass bowl or plastic zip-lock bag.
- Taste for sweet/sour balance and correct if necessary.
- Add chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 (please keep refrigerated).
- Arrange chicken in a shallow baking dish and add some marinade if you wish (I have always done it this way without sickness since you then cook everything for quite some time, however, if you're concerned reserve some marinade before you add the chicken).
- Baking times/temps vary depending on whether you're making wings or parts- they are as follows: Wings only- set oven to 325 and cook the wings for 1 1/2 hours turning and basting approximately every 1/2 hour.
- Chicken parts- set oven to 375 and cook the chicken for approximately 45 minutes turning and basting at the halfway point.
- If using boneless skinless breasts I would reduce the cooking time to 30 minutes and then check every 5 minutes until the breasts are cooked through but not dried out.
- I serve this with plain white rice, but fried rice would be equally delicious.
Most Helpful
It was a little salty for our taste, but very flavorful. I will try again with reduced sodium soy sauce.
Love it! I ended up cubing the chicken breasts and cooking them in the sauce for about 30 minutes. We then put the chicken over fried rice. Thanks Deborah! This is a keeper!

Hi there,
How do I go about updating the shipping amount to all cities in the U.S. It works for Canada as that is my base country but when I go and select any U.S. city it automatically adds 45 dollars to the shipping cost? I do not know where this amount is coming from? I just want to find out where I can change this so it is the same as my table shipping rates.
Thank you,

The authors investigate the dynamic scheduling of tasks with well-defined timing constraints. They present a dynamic uniprocessor scheduling algorithm with an O(n log n) worst-case complexity. The preemptive scheduling performed by the algorithm is shown to be of higher efficiency than that of other known algorithms. Furthermore, tasks may be related by precedence constraints, and they may have arbitrary deadlines and start times (which need not equal their arrival times). An experimental evaluation of the algorithm compares its average case behavior to the worst case. An analytic model used for explanation of the experimental results is validated with actual system measurements. The dynamic scheduling algorithm is the basis of a real-time multiprocessor operating system kernel developed in conjunction with this research. Specifically, this algorithm is used at the lowest, threads-based layer of the kernel whenever threads are created

Leading with a Limp
Leading with a Limp
Take Full Advantage of Your Most Powerful Weakness
Waterbrook Press, Paperback, 9781578569526, 206pp.
Publication Date: January 15, 2008
Pick up most leadership books and you ll find strategies for leveraging your power and minimizing your areas of weakness. But rather than work against your weakness, why not draw from a deeper well of strength? God favors leaders who make the most of the power that comes from brokenness.
Go ahead and take full advantage of your flaws. The most effective leaders don t rise to power in spite of their weakness; they lead with power "because" of their weakness. It is their authenticity in limping leadership that compels others to follow them. Flawed leaders are successful because they re not preoccupied with protecting their image. They are undaunted by chaos and complexity. And they are ready to risk failure in moving an organization from what is to what should be.
If you are a leader or if you have been making excuses to avoid leading find out how to get the most from your weakness. A limping leader is the kind of person God uses to accomplish amazing things.
To go deeper, check out the "Leading with a Limp Workbook.
Dan taught in the Biblical Counseling Department of Grace Theological Seminary for seven years (1983-1989). From 1989-1997 Dan worked as professor in the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling program at Colorado Christian University Denver Colorado. Currently Dan serves as Professor of Counseling Psychology and President at Mars Hill Graduate School (MHGS.edu) in Seattle Washington.
He travels and speaks extensively to present his unique perspective on sexual abuse recovery love and forgiveness worship and other related topics. He is the author of The Wounded Heart (NavPress) and has coauthored four books with Dr. Tremper Longman III Intimate Allies (Tyndale) The Cry of the Soul (NavPress) Bold Love (NavPress) and Breaking the Idols of Your Heart (IVP). Dan and his wife Rebecca have three children and live in Seattle Washington.
Praise for Leading with a Limp
"There are good books on leadership, but this one is profound. It is better than a 'how to do it' book; this is a 'how to be it' book for leaders. Dan Allender offers serious wisdom rather than simple platitudes."
–Mark Sanborn, speaker, leadership consultant, and best-selling author of The Fred Factor
"Not only is Dan Allender a good friend, he is a great leader. In Leading with a Limp, he has shown us how we can effectively lead those allotted to our charge. Read this book...it will bring a lot of things into perspective for you."
–Dennis Rainey, president of FamilyLife and coauthor of Moments Together for Couples
"After reading this book, the first two words out of my mouth were 'At last!' Amid a deluge of spiritual gifts inventories, at last there is someone who understands how God's strength is made perfect in our imperfections. At last someone has brought spiritual strengths and spiritual weaknesses into conversation. For Dan Allender, the limp is a limpid way of walking that leads into the very presence of God."
–Leonard Sweet, author of The Three Hardest Words and Out of the Question…Into the Mystery
"Leading with a Limp is not your basic, cafeteria-brand manual on how to 'do' leadership. It is a call to openly face your shortcomings as a leader. Dan Allender reminds us that our greatest asset as leaders is not our competence but the courage to name and deal with our frailties and imperfections."
–Dr. Crawford W. Loritts, Jr., author, speaker, and senior pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia
"Once again Dan Allender has propelled us headlong into the paradoxical wonders of the gospel of God's grace. Leading with a Limp exposes the thin veneer of respectability we leaders try to stretch over our destructive idols of control and pragmatism. In so doing, Allender invites us to the freeing humility of leading as "the chief sinner" in whatever context God has placed us."
–Scotty Smith, founding pastor of Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, and coauthor of Restoring Broken Things
"I often wonder if other people feel the way I do when they read books on leadership. Most of the books are heavy on motivation or strategy or positive thinking. Dan Allender looks at how anyone can move his team–and himself–forward when he is pummeled by circumstances and his heart is fainting. This is real-world stuff, but you'll have to take off the rose-colored glasses to read it."
–Bob Lepine, cohost of FamilyLife Today
"Leading with a Limp will have a lasting impact on me; it addressed several issues I'm struggling with at this point in my life and leadership. I thank God for this honest and insightful book!"
–Brian McLaren, pastor, author of The Secret Message of Jesus and A New Kind of Christian

Lake Tahoe is a four-season resort destination in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There are two distinct vacation areas in Tahoe that might influence what you do when you're there. North Tahoe is less commercially developed and rustic, while South Tahoe is glitzy, filled with casinos and resort hotels of every type. Wherever you decide to stay, both North and South Tahoe have dozens of dog-friendly hotels, restaurants and recreation areas.
Dog-Friendly North Tahoe Hotels
A moderately-priced historic hotel that makes a great home base if you're traveling with dogs is the CalNeva Resort Hotel and Casino. Built in 1926, this casino property features modern amenities while retaining the character of previous eras like the 1960s, when Frank Sinatra owned the property. Today, the CalNeva welcomes pets in first floor rooms only. There are many dog-friendly businesses nearby, like Dog Gone Crazy, a dog camp, spa and bakery that also offers dog-sitting services when you want a humans-only night on the town.
Dog-Friendly South Tahoe Hotels
Another big difference between South and North Lake Tahoe is that while North Tahoe has more high-end hotels and vacation rentals, South Tahoe offers more types of accommodations that range from economically-priced motels with kitchenettes to large-scale casino hotels and resorts. In South Tahoe, the Best Western Timber Cove Lodge is a lakefront hotel that welcomes dogs of all sizes but requests that guests notify management ahead of time when they will be bringing a canine guest. Near the hotel, the City of South Lake Tahoe oversees Bijou Dog Park, a 38,000-square foot off-leash area where your large or small dog can roam and play with others. The park also has shade trees, benches and watering stations.
Specialty Hotel Lodging
Adventure dog owners seeking an alternative to traditional hotel stays are welcome to enjoy Camp Winnarubun, a resort camp for humans and their dogs. Camp Winnarubun is set on 33 acres of pine forest and features a swimming lake, hiking trails and dedicated areas for organized dog-oriented activities such as obedience, agility, herding and tracking. Seminars for first aid, dog-centric games and crafts are also offered. This seasonal resort hotel has rustic log cabins where dogs stay alongside their owners, as well as a dining hall serving award-winning food to both species.
Where to Roam
Over 75 percent of the forest surrounding Lake Tahoe is public land comprised of about 150,000 acres of beaches, hiking trails and recreation sites where leashed dogs can enjoy the outdoors with their owners. Dogs are restricted to specific beaches however, including those at the Tallac Historic Site from Valhalla Pier to Tallac Point in South Lake Tahoe. In North Tahoe they can romp on the beach at Zephyr Cove Resort, Hidden and Chimney Beaches, Coon Street Beach in Kings Beach, Ski Beach in Incline Village (winter only), and Echo Lakes beaches.

Is nursing for me?
0 Hello all,
I joined this community, because I am interested in nursing. I'm probably an atypical type to pursue nursing. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science for a small private university in Oregon; however, I worked at a hospital part-time throughout my college career. Needless to say, I miss patient care, and am planning on applying to University of Portland's BSN program soon.
Any advice?
Evan0Nov 20, '04 by akcarmeanFirst Welcome to allnurses. Good Luck with your new career. The only true advice I can give you is to follow your heart. That's the one sure fire way that you know you will be happy with your decision. Hope to see more post from you.
Angelia0Nov 20, '04 by nursebedlam0Nov 20, '04 by Tweety, BSNNot atypical at all. Lots of IT people are going into nursing. Good luck!0Nov 20, '04 by chris_at_lucas_RN[font=book antiqua]welcome to allnurses!
you'd be surprised how many computer-types and engineers wind up in nursing. when it comes time for you to learn to "computer chart," you'll be a quick study!
0Nov 28, '04 by celticqueenQuote from edcampbeHiya Evan, welcome to allnurses. The only thing you can do is follow your instincts on this one. You will soon find out if nursing is for you or not when you start!!!! At least you know what to expect, seeing as you have worked in a hospital before. As for being "atypical" - what is a typical nurse???? you certainly wouldn't look at me in the street and think i was a (student) nurse!!!Hello all,
I joined this community, because I am interested in nursing. I'm probably an atypical type to pursue nursing. I recently graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science for a small private university in Oregon; however, I worked at a hospital part-time throughout my college career. Needless to say, I miss patient care, and am planning on applying to University of Portland's BSN program soon.
Any advice?
Anyway, it takes all sorts as they say. Good luck for the future.
Emma :hatparty:0Nov 28, '04 by Energizer BunnyHI Evan. Probably half of the people in my nursing program are starting fresh from some other areas of work that has nothing to do with healthcare! Good luck!0Nov 28, '04 by AntikigirlHi neighbor...I am about 30 miles west of Portland! Honest advise..check out the local papers around here! See what you are getting yourself into...right now things are pretty bleek, but they say that changes every 5 years or so (kind of a cycle)...but I wished I looked around before I lept into RN school (PCC ADN class of 2000).
U of P is awesome for BSN, but remember to learn techical skills too..LOL, I have trained U of P grads how to put in a foley...and that suprised me 4 times!!! But ask them about research and theory and they can't be beat!!!!!! So think about that...what is your wish once you become a nurse??? Then see if it meshes ...I mean...being an ED nurse or med surge floor isn't as geared towards all that hard work you put in...but say administration nursing or education, oh yeah for a U of P...perfect!!!! (so keep that in mind, and do searches in the paper about how many jobs are offered out there for this! And watch the trend!).
Over here, a nurse basically has to die in order to get a job! They keep their jobs for life...so it is hard to get in...watch that in rural areas if you plan on living in one. I am an ED nurse by heart, working at an assisted living facility...not what I had planned AT ALL! But its a paycheck, and I do it well after figuring this whole assisted living concept out (only took about 2 years..LOL!).
If you get the chance...talk to a nurse at a local hospital and see if this is right for you...ask if you can 'shadow' a nurse for a shift or even part of a shift and see if this is what you want to do for THE REST of you life..LOL! (or even part..LOL!)..that is usually the best way ... Good Sam use to do this...and awesome AWESOME hospital!!!!!!!!!!! (I love that place!!!!!).
Good luck and feel free to pm me...I know the nursing scene around the greater Metro area and rural west...and can give you some insight to current trends and job market .

My WordPress is purposely installed on my root folder on my server, but I want wordpress to show up as a static "welcome" page when the site is first loaded.
I know how to do that in the Administrative panel, but then, how do you setup a link in the sidebar that changes it back to blog post view?
because I want users to be able to see the welcome screen,
but I also want them to be able to click on a link that takes
them to the most recient posts, does that make any sense?
I also wanted to put a picture gallery on my site of some sort,
that supports multiple albums of posts. How do I do that and
integrate it into the WP site? I did this on purpose
because I wanted a "single sign-on" for my entire site.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (June 11, 2014) At 10, Tanishq Abraham is among the youngest people ever to graduate from high school.
The Sacramento, Calif., boy received his diploma during a private ceremony in front of family and friends on Sunday.
Tanishq was home-schooled and graduated with a 4.0 GPA.
He told KXTV in Sacramento the work wasn't easy, but wasn't that hard either.
His mom, Taji, says she suspected her son was gifted, but didn't know how gifted until seeing the results of an IQ test.
Tanishq is taking college courses and says he wants to be not only a scientist, but also president.

The Warriors of Anadarko continued their undefeated season (11-0) Friday night with a 38-0 victory over Tecumseh in a Class 4A first-round playoff game. Anadarko, last year's Class 3A state champion, led Tecumseh 14-0 at the half with both of the touchdowns coming in the first quarter — 4-yard runs by R.J. Sink and Louie Farina. Anadarko, ranked third, upped the count to 21-0 after three quarters and out-scored the Savages 17-0 down the stretch. Tecumseh managed just 67 yards rushing on 25 carries while Anadarko ran for 240 yards on 44 attempts. Tecumseh also had just 12 yards passing, hitting two of its 11 attempts with one interception. Anadarko didn't commit a turnover while Tecumseh posted two. Tecumseh, which saw its four-game winning streak ended, concludes the season at 6-4. Note: Report compiled by Fred Fehr.

Two capacitators, c1= 10uF and c2=10uF, are charged inseries by a 3 V battery. There is a resistor in between thecapacitators also in series. Find the time constant of the chargingcircuit. R=2.5 ohms. C(effective) = c1c2/(c1+c2). time constant =1/r*C. After a length of time equal to the timeconstant of the circuit, the switch is opened. What is the voltageacross the 10 mFcapacitor?
I found the time constant: 14.1 us and it is correct. I didthis by finding Ceq and multiplying it by 2.5 ohms.
For the second part, I keep getting the wrong anwer. I amusing the eqn V=Vo*e^(-t/RC). This is not producing the rightanswer but I have all of the peices of the equation. Can anyonehelp??
and the answer to the second part is 1.07 V ...I just need toknow how to get there =)
