Rarely does a quiet player become a team leader.
But William Thomas silently led Palo Duro to some of its brightest moments in the mid-1980s. Then he made a national name for himself as an all-American and Southwest Conference player of the year at Texas A&M. Today he enters his 10th year as the anchor of the Philadelphia Eagles' defense.
Thomas epitomized the trend toward speed on defense. At Palo Duro, he earned honors as a quarterback and strong safety. But at Texas A&M, Thomas made the move to linebacker and helped establish the Wrecking Crew.
"Willie T. owes me some money," Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum joked. "I moved him from safety and he didn't really want to do it. But he was a step slow to be playing safety but I thought he would be one of the greats at linebacker. He fit right in the mold of what we like to do with the outside, pass rushing linebacker at Texas A&M just like the Aaron Wallaces and the John Ropers and the Marcus Buckley's. He was athletic and he was speedy and he had great character."
Thomas played for the James and the Dons from 1984-86. In 1986, he quarterbacked Palo Duro to a 10-0 regular season record while captaining the Dons defense with 58 tackles and picking off five passes.
"I don't know where to start," former Palo Duro coach Doug James said. "He was not just a great player on the field, but he was a great kid. He was a leader in the class room and he was very quiet. I don't know of anybody who didn't like him. When he graduated it was like losing my own son."
Texas A&M was about the only NCAA Division I school to pursue Thomas and he signed with the Aggies as a quarterback. His freshman year he read the handwriting on the wall and moved to the defensive side. He started at safety as a sophomore before moving to linebacker during his junior season.
"He was a heck of a leader, but he was a man of few words," James said. "He was quiet and he could think really well on his feet. He could see what was happening and just get there and be in position to make a play."
Because of that quiet nature, Thomas garnered little attention during his Palo Duro career.
"The way I look at it, it's not what you say, it's what you do on the field.," Thomas said. "The whole mentality of it is your performance on the field. If you can set a good example, you'll maintain the leadership role."
Before Thomas' senior season, James put his name down on all the pre-season questionaires as a player to watch. Even after making all-state as a safety and an undefeated regular season run as a quarterback, few outside of the Panhandle and College Station took notice.
In the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star game in Fort Worth, Thomas took over at quarterback and won the game's MVP award.
"After the game, people start coming up to me and asking `Where's this guy been all year?' " James said. "I just had to tell them, `He's been there all year. He's all state. Where have you all been?' "
Texas A&M started recruiting Thomas as a junior and eventually signed him. Thomas' quiet demeanor extended to the recruiting process. His own mother did not know what he was going to do about college until he had made the decision.
In the mid- to late 1980's, Texas A&M was the king of the Southwest Conference. The Aggies sported a hard-hitting defense which would eventually earn the nickname it carries to this day - the Wrecking Crew.
"He never did talk much so I didn't know," Patricia Williams said. "He wanted to go to A&M because he wanted that ring. He saw those other players with their rings and he wanted one like theirs."
In Thomas' senior season at Palo Duro, the Dons allowed 44 points the entire regular season and an average of 144 yards a game. Under Thomas' direction, the Dons' offense averaged 31 points a game.
"It was fun, man," Thomas said. "We always used to play good football but times have changed. It seems so weird now. We were a small school with small players so we had to play with a lot of heart.
James thinks Thomas' best performance of his Palo Duro career came as a quarterback in a bi-district against San Angelo Central.
Palo Duro went into the game undefeated and ranked No. 3 in Class 5A. But Central had a huge team loaded with talent. The Bobcats were bigger, stronger and faster than the Dons and eventually won the game 21-0.
But Thomas ran for 94 yards and passed for another 91. Frequently, he had to dodge Central defenders in his own backfield before he could make a move. 59 of his rushing yards came as a result of scrambles away from the busted protection.
"That's about as great a performance I've ever seen a kid do, even though we lost," James said. "He really showed what a competitor he was and he show some things about himself. The guy tried everything he could do to get us a win."
Thomas made his biggest impact on defense. He commanded respect from the defensive backfield by example rather than with words.
"He was a pretty intense guy and he was always working," former teammate Greg Waddell said. "He was quiet, but you knew he meant business. You didn't want to upset him."
Waddell graduated from Palo Duro with Thomas and played cornerback on the same side of the field as the future all-American.
"He was a hard hitter and he was always in the right place. He had three or four of the hardest hits I've ever seen," Waddell said.
Maybe Thomas' biggest collision came in a scrimmage against Odessa Permian at Jones Stadium their junior years.
The Panthers ran a draw play, the back scooted into the secondary and Waddell got turned around.
"I was about five feet away from the running back with my back turned and all of the sudden I heard something that just rocked the stadium. The whole stadium just rocked and I turn around and there's William standing over this running back and the running back is flat on his back. The trainers came out and had to work on him for four or five minutes before they could get him up."
Currently, Thomas lives with his wife and children in suburban Philadelphia. He enters his 10th season with the Eagles and has the longest current tenure on the squad. Thomas has made the Pro Bowl twice. He ranks ninth on the club's career sacks list with 30.5 and 12th on the club's all-time interception list with 18.
"I was a small linebacker then and I still am," Thomas said. "But you make up for it in other ways, with your speed and your head."

Very Nice Soap
Posted by Reviewer3038535 on Mar 29, 2012
This is a lovely scented soap and is very long lasting too. I have been using it everyday now for many weeks. One easy little trick to keep the soap lasting even longer is to push the underside of a plastic milk bottle lid into the underside of the soap. This keeps the soap off the counter top and lets it dry underneath.
Buy this soap if you have dry skin!!!
Posted by Reviewer2720611 on Jun 05, 2010
We tried this soap because of our cold CT winters and our aging (!!) dry skin, and there are just so many things to like about it. First, it completely changed our skin (and it's not like we had been using Dial or some other harsh commercial soap.) The smell is incredible, almost makes our whole bathroom smell good (it's a small bathroom). Didn't like Nubian's black one nearly as much - this one is the best - and iherb's price is also the best.
Love it!
Posted by Reviewer1483278 on Apr 30, 2010
My husband has sensitive skin. So I brought this soap for him. But now not just my husband love it, I looooove it ,too! It smells so good and it is so rich to use but so easy to rinse off. And it doesn't take much to soap up the whole body. It gives me a relaxing good mood with it's scent. Love it! Love it! It's on my re-order list from now on!
love this!
Posted by Reviewer2106073 on Aug 18, 2010
The smell of this soap is nice and makes our skin very soft. This is our second buy and we will continu to purchase. Make sure you don't get the foam in your eyes. It's very irritating.
Incredibly drying for your skin!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Reviewer2727680 on Feb 01, 2012
After reading the reviews on here I thought this soap would be great. It's not. It's HORRIBLY drying. Do yourself a favor- buy S.O.F.- South of France Shea Butter Soap or Mango Soap instead and find out what moisturized skin after a shower feels like. Your skin will thank you for it. PS- I tried to give this soap a ZERO STAR RATING because that's what it deserves, but iHerb won't allow a rating of less than 1 star to be posted so there's your "pity rating" Nubian Heritage!
Posted by Reviewer1621299 on Jul 07, 2010
I tried this cause of the reviews. I always have trouble with soaps, so was reluctant. It's good though! The smell is nice too. I would try other scents by this brand. Moisturizing and non-drying, makes you smell CLEAN.
Love the soap
Posted by Reviewer1818092 on May 21, 2010
I really like this product. It smells nice and doesn't make me itch like regular soap does. Will buy again!
If this is in stock - Buy it. You'll be glad you did
Posted by Reviewer1152715 on Apr 24, 2013
All of the soaps in this range are excellent, I recommend this if you have dry skin, the scent is really nice.
Posted by vafa33 on Feb 22, 2015
a bit strong smelling for me as i prefer fresh ones
shea butter
Posted by 4744493424708707935 on Apr 12, 2015
I liked the smell of soap . However, it makes the skin dry . I would recommend for dry skin Nubian Heritage- " Mango Butter Soap, Shea & Cocoa Butters"

I've got a strange problem that has arisen after changing the name of a parent page which was the name of a previous page that was deleted and completely removed from wp trash.
This page is now resulting in a 404 (not found) error along with one other page. Strange ?
I've defaulted back to the standard wp theme and stripped out all plugins and it does not resolve.
If I switch to default permalinks, everything is fine and all pages serve correctly.
I'm running nginx as a proxy only, so apache / wp is responsible for generating the cached version of the page in the first place, however it seems to not exist or never get generated ?
Also stripped back my htaccess to WP core and modified nginx conf files to no avail.
I ran a couple of SQL queries to check page ID and permalinks were correct and they looked OK.
Can anybody suggest what might be causing this ?
Website in question: http://www.giftsandmerchandise.co.uk/
Pages - "Promotional" and "Services" are the problem pages.

KIA Motors America Partners With B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving Course To Provide Hands On Defensive Driving Instruction
IRVINE, Calif. – Kia Motors America (KMA) recently partnered with B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe) Teen Pro Active Driving Course to provide more than 150 teenagers ranging in ages 15 1/2 to 19 with advanced training to respond to real-world driving scenarios. B.R.A.K.E.S., with KMA's support — which included a fleet of 2013 Kia Rios — provided the instruction at no cost in an effort to prevent injuries and save lives by educating teens and their parents about the importance of responsible driving habits.
"Kia's partnership with B.R.A.K.E.S. is a reflection of the company's commitment to give back to the communities in which we do business," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. "Reinforcing the importance of responsible driving in the first few months of licensure is essential to reducing the number of teen motor vehicle crashes and making the roads safer for everyone."
B.R.A.K.E.S., a 501 c3 charity based in Charlotte,N.C., has provided safe driving instruction courses for more than 8,000 students in theU.S. andCanada. The school offers nearly four hours of hands-on training and a very low student-instructor ratio to ensure personal attention. The curriculum includes an array of defensive driving techniques and raises awareness of the dangers of distracted driving. Parents participate in the courses alongside their teens to ensure safe driving techniques are reinforced following the session.

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced that it has received certification for its ISX15 engine from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), meeting both the EPA 2013 regulations and the new greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency rules that will take effect in 2014. Cummins 2014 greenhouse gas certification is the first engine certificate issued by the EPA.
Cummins ISX15, the top-selling engine in the heavy-duty truck market, will deliver higher levels of fuel efficiency and reliability in 2013. Efficiency improvements to the base engine include optimized combustion and reduced parasitic load through high-efficiency water, fuel and lube pump systems, and the ISX15 will achieve up to 2 percent fuel economy improvement over today's product. Cummins ISX15 for 2013 uses the same proven base engine with the XPI fuel system, VGT™ Turbocharger, Cummins Aftertreatment System with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, and fully integrated electronics.
"Cummins 2013 truck engines will deliver better fuel economy with no major hardware changes," said Jeff Jones, Cummins Vice President – Sales and Market Communications. "This results in improved reliability due to stable architecture.
"The certification of the ISX15 demonstrates Cummins commitment to deliver products that exceed both environmental and customer requirements. We are confident that we'll receive certification for our other on-highway engines well before the end of the year," Jones continued.

Hi there,
I made a terrible mistake and I hope someone can help me!
I changed the wordpress url just for a test - I didn't think I would cause so much trouble - and now I can't go back. I always get the "404 page not found" page.
My former wordpress url was blog.fraeuleinherz.de. This subdomain redirects to the directory I installed wordpress: http://www.fraeuleinherz.de/blog. Then I changed the wordpress url to http://www.fraeuleinherz.de/blog, because I thought that would be simpler.
And now nothing works! Does anyone have an idea how I can change this back? I'm desperate...

Maharoof admits Sri Lanka struggles
Keep up to date with England's progress against Sri Lanka with our in-depth day-by-day reports - plus all the reaction, video highlights and live photos
Farveez Maharoof was left to reflect on a "tough day at the office" as Sri Lanka again toiled in the field in the first npower Test at Cardiff.
Jonathan Trott led the way for England with a superb 203, the highest Test score by an England player against Sri Lanka, with Alastair Cook and Ian Bell contributing 133 and 98 not out respectively as the home side reached 491 for five in their first innings - a lead of 91 - by stumps on day four.
The tourists have gained little reward from the 153 overs sent down over the past two days and, while he was quick to praise the performance of the England batsmen, Maharoof believes he and his team-mates needed to keep things a bit tighter.
The 26-year-old all-rounder said: "It was a tough day at the office, but credit to the English batsmen; they batted really well.
"I am coming back into the side after a three-and-a-half year period and it was tough, but that is what Test cricket is all about.
"To be honest Trott batted really well, but we could have bowled much better to him.
"We could have been more consistent with our line and length, but you should not take anything away from his innings; he batted really well."
Maharoof, recalled to the Test side this week after his impressive recent form for Lancashire, had got rid of Cook, who edged a cut behind, not long after play began at 2.30pm following more rain in the Welsh capital.
Soon after, Rangana Herath trapped Kevin Pietersen in front for three - the 19th time in Tests he has fallen to a left-arm spinner.
While Maharoof admitted Sri Lanka had discussed that record, the seamer believes it was the tactic of denying Pietersen easy scoring opportunities that ultimately paid dividends.
"It's normal with any batsman on a pitch where bowlers don't get much help that you want to keep the run scoring dry," he said. "That's what we did with him, we tried to stop him getting easy runs and he got out so it worked very well.
"It (left-arm spin) is something we talked about. Herath had bowled a massive spell of about 20 overs or something like that and he bowled very well.
"Most of our bowlers bowled very well and the only thing to work on is to be more consistent in the coming days."
The prospects of there being a result in Cardiff appear slim with three of the four days being blighted by rain.
More rain is forecast tomorrow and the docile nature of the pitch would suggest that Sri Lanka will have little difficulty in securing a draw should they be asked to bat again, particularly as England will be down to three frontline bowlers due to James Anderson's side strain.
Maharoof believes there is little that either side can take from this game ahead of next week's second Test at Lord's.
"A lot of time has been lost in this Test, there are two innings not completed, so you can't take much out of this Test because more than 100 overs have been lost," he added.
"As a team we batted really well to get 400 on that wicket in the first couple of days. We just need to be more disciplined and bowl in the right areas."

Di guglielmo first called attention to a condition characterized primarily by neoplastic hyperplasia of erythroblastic tissue. Later on, both acute and chronic forms of this disorder were recognized. In addition, it was noted that usually there was neoplastic myeloid involvement as well. It is generally accepted now to refer to cases of leukemia in which neoplastic erythroid hyperplasia is striking but which usually also demonstrate some neoplastic myeloid involvement as Di Guglielmo's syndrome and to group these with the myeloproliferative disorders. It may and frequently does arise de novo as other acute leukemias or may be found as a sequel to other myeloproliferative diseases.
Recently, several reports have appeared describing various chromosomal abnormalities noted in some patients with Di Guglielmo's syndrome.1-5 As with other acute leukemias, the abnormalities are multiple and vary from patient to patient. However, all these reports cite hypodiploidy as a constant feature. We recently studied

Tea Party Claims Big Win
Upstart Candidate Beats GOP-Backed Congressman in Delaware Senate Primary
Long-shot U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell of Delaware rode tea-party momentum Tuesday to the most unexpected upset of a tumultuous political year, soundly defeating Republican Party fixture Mike Castle in a bruising primary.
The results showed again that conservative voters, many of them angry at federal spending by both parties and energized by the tea-party movement, have become mobilized even in one of the nation's most Democratic-leaning states.
Anti-establishment forces were gunning for victory in the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary, where attorney Ovide Lamontagne was making a strong run at the party-backed candidate, former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte. With 85% of the precincts counted, about1,000 votes separated the candidates, and the race could be headed for a recount.
Voters also cast ballots Tuesday in five other states and the District of Columbia, in the last big primary-election night of the year. Only Hawaii and Louisiana still have primaries before the Nov. 2 general election.
In New York, a political novice who claimed the tea-party banner won the Republican nomination for governor, defeating the choice of party leaders, and embattled Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel beat back a primary challenger in Harlem. With 98% of precincts reporting, Carl Paladino, a Buffalo developer, had 62% of the vote to 38% for former Rep. Rick Lazio in the GOP gubernatorial race. The state's attorney general, Andrew Cuomo, is the Democratic nominee for governor.
In Washington, D.C., voters denied a second term to Mayor Adrian Fenty. With 90% of precincts reporting, Mr. Fenty trailed City Council Chairman Vincent Gray 53% to 46%. The campaign had focused in part on Mr. Fenty's support for overhauling city schools and firing underperforming teachers.
The Delaware results were widely viewed as the most meaningful of the day. With all precincts reporting, Ms. O'Donnell had 53.1% of the vote to Mr. Castle's 46.9%.
Mr. Castle, a sitting congressman, is one of the most liberal Republicans in the House.
Still, party officials considered his support for abortion rights, his vote for a "cap and trade'' energy bill and other policy stances to be a good fit for a state that President Barack Obama won with 62% of the vote in 2008. Moreover, Delaware voters had elected Mr. Castle to two terms as governor and to nine in Congress.
Ms. O'Donnell, by contrast, opposes abortion rights and, like many Republicans, is a strong advocate for reducing taxes and federal spending. She called for a two-year elimination of capital-gains taxes. She also strongly opposes the Democrats' health-care overhaul and the push to pass cap and trade.
Her opponents focused on her personal finances. Ms. O'Donnell failed to pay nearly $12,000 in federal taxes in 2005 and defaulted on her house payments in 2007, records show.
In her victory speech Tuesday night, Ms. O'Donnell called her bid for office "more of a cause than a campaign, and the cause is restoring America."
While Ms. O'Donnell's victory demonstrated the energy among conservative voters, it also showed the tea party to be a sometimes confounding force for the GOP.
Mr. Castle was considered the strongest candidate to help his party pick up the seat, which until last year was held by Vice President Joe Biden.
Now, strategists in both parties say a Republican victory appears remote. Aside from Mr. Castle, a Republican hasn't won a race for Congress or governor in Delaware since 1994.
An official with the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which backs Republican Senate candidates, said Ms. O'Donnell was lagging behind her opponent in the general election and there were no plans to spend money on the race. However, the official said the committee might reconsider its funding plans if Ms. O'Donnell showed that she had a chance to win.
Ms. O'Donnell, in an interview on the eve of her victory, said she had "broad-based appeal" and was a stronger general-election contender "before the Republican cannibalism, before the party started devouring its own."
"My plan is to meet the independents, meet the Democrats, and tell them how I want to be their voice," she said.
Ms. O'Donnell drew support from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and the California-based Tea Party Express, affiliated with a political-action committee that pledged to spend more than $200,000 in ads on her behalf.
Ms. O'Donnell's victory served as a dramatic bookend for a movement that first signaled its electoral power in November 2009. In a special election for the House in upstate New York, a tea-party candidate gained so much ground that a liberal Republican tapped by party leaders was forced to drop out. A Democrat won the seat, but the experience became a rallying point for tea-party activists.
In January, activists helped elect Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts, filling the seat long held by the late liberal lion, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
The victory helped foster grass-roots support for insurgent figures such as Rand Paul in Kentucky, Sharron Angle in Nevada and Ken Buck in Colorado, each of whom defeated Republicans who were favored by party leaders in Senate races.
Sept. 14 Primaries: Full Results
- Delaware: Senate and more
- District of Columbia: Mayor and more
- Maryland: Senate and more
- Massachusetts: House and more
- New Hampshire: Senate and more
- New York: Senate and more
- Rhode Island: House and more
- Wisconsin: Senate and more
The tensions spilled over into the Senate itself, with conservative Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina endorsing tea-party challengers to the GOP establishment contenders recruited by Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the party's campaign committee.
"I'm disappointed" by the Delaware result, said former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, who is leading a conservative group, American Action Network, which is spending money to help Republicans in congressional races.
"The tea-party movement has been a tremendously positive force, but it doesn't mean that in every state the candidate who is either furthest to the right or the most out of the mainstream is necessarily the best candidate," Mr. Coleman said. He said the O'Donnell win meant the GOP "lost the prospect of a seat. You end up getting 100% of nothing. It only increases the prospects that Harry Reid continues as majority leader."
Democrats were jubilant about Ms. O'Donnell's win. Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Democrats' Senate campaign committee, declared her an "ultra-right wing extremist who is out of step with Delaware values."
The Democratic nominee in Delaware, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons, issued a statement asking Mr. Castle's supporters to come his way, saying that the state GOP "is purging itself of moderate voices and embracing the radical."
Strategists in both parties believe the number of competitive Senate races has now dropped to 10 from 11, which means winning the chamber would require Republicans to take every one of those races. Democrats and independents who caucus with them currently hold 59 seats in the 100-member Senate.
Still, the nearly completed primary season suggests Republicans stand to benefit from a large gap in enthusiasm—voters who favor the GOP are far more interested in voting this November than are core Democratic voters, multiple opinion polls show.
Complaints about federal overreach in the Democratic health-care overhaul, as well as government spending and large budget deficits, have energized conservative voters.
Of the 30 million ballots cast in 2010 for statewide offices before Sept. 1, more than 17 million were in Republican races, while fewer than 13 million were for Democrats—the first time since 1930 that GOP voters outnumbered Democrats in midterm, statewide primaries, according to an analysis from American University's Center for the Study of the American Electorate.
GOP strategists note that the party has expanded the field of contested races into a number of Democratic-leaning states such as California, Washington and Wisconsin.
Democrats say there are limits to the benefits that the tea party has brought to the GOP.
"I'd rather have an activated and mobilized base to turn out the vote," said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, whose client list includes Sen. Reid, who is standing for re-election in Nevada. "But I'd also rather have a candidate who can appeal to swing voters. And some of these tea-party candidates do the former but preclude the latter."
In the New Hampshire Senate race, Ms. Ayotte, the former attorney general, is backed by much of the Republican power structure, including outgoing Sen. Judd Gregg. She consistently led in the polls, and supporters were surprised to see such a close match on Tuesday.
Mr. Lamontagne is trying to highlight his outsider status. "My point is simply this: Do you want to vote for the establishment candidate, who is brought to you by the establishment?" Mr. Lamontagne said in an interview. "Or someone who can only be beholden to you, because that's where the support has come from?"
The voters, he said, "know I haven't been handpicked."
Ms. Ayotte's supporters argue that Mr. Lamontagne is as much part of the establishment as she is. He has served as an attorney for the state Republican Party and is making his third run at public office.
"It's kind of ironic that Kelly Ayotte, as a first-time candidate, is viewed as the establishment candidate," said her finance chairman, Steve Duprey. "The Lamontagne campaign has done a good job trying to supply that label to Kelly Ayotte, but I don't think it has been successful with most Republicans." Attorney general is an appointed position in New Hampshire.
Mr. Lamontagne appears to be riding the wave of Republican discontent with the status quo, and he was endorsed over the weekend by Mr. DeMint. But Ms. Ayotte enjoys the support of Ms. Palin.
Tea-party priorities, including lower taxes and smaller government, have long been bedrock values in New Hampshire, which has no state income tax and has famously adopted the motto: "Live Free or Die."
"The Republican primary is always a conservative Republican primary," said former Gov. John Sununu, the state GOP chairman. "All the candidates fit the mold of a tea party." At the same time, the once heavily Republican state has backed many Democrats in general elections in recent years.
For much of the contest, Ms. Ayotte's main challenger appeared to be wealthy businessman Bill Binnie. But negative ads exchanged between Ms. Ayotte and Mr. Binnie appear to have diminished his standing and given Mr. Lamontagne the opportunity to rise as the challenger with the best shot.
Other races of interest:
-- Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker survived a well-funded challenge by former Congressman Mark Neumann to win the Republican Party nomination in the Wisconsin governor's race.
-- In Massachusetts's 9th congressional district, U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts survived the anti-incumbent wave. The four-term congressman from South Boston won the Democratic primary Tuesday against political upstart Mac D'Alessandro (dell-ah-SAHN'-dro) of Milton.
-- In Maryland, the tea party did suffer a setback as former Gov. Robert Ehrlich defeated investor Brian Murphy in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Mr. Ehrlich's victory Tuesday sets up a rematch in November against Democratic incumbent Gov. Martin O'Malley, who easily won his primary race against two long-shot candidates.
-- In New York, Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, who has represented Harlem for 40 years, won his primary race. It was his first election since the House ethics committee accused him of a series of violations, mostly relating to his personal finances.
--Also in New York, former Rep. Joseph DioGuardi won a three-way Republican primary for Senate and will face incumbent Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. Like other victors this year, he was not his party's choice.

Who we are
You've heard it said before (particularly if you've been following the "Notes from Rational Support" developerWorks blog), but I'll say it again: the best part of IBM Rational Support is the people. We're a global team of more than 550 support professionals with expertise across the broad Rational software portfolio. We have support centers all over the globe and engineers who provide technical support on the phone and on the web, in several languages, including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish, all with one goal: to ensure that you are successful with your Rational and IBM products in your unique environment.
Figure 1. Rational Client Support global locations
Some of those folks are technical support engineers (TSEs) who work directly with you on the phone and on the web to answer your questions and resolve your issues. We also have accelerated value specialists, business intelligence experts, knowledge managers, electronic support architects, service planners, and people dedicated to client programs.
As you can imagine, today's technical support environment is complex and growing ever more so. It involves complex technologies, end-to-end business solutions, integrated technology, distributed resources, and -- let's not forget -- a need for speed.
Best practices that we follow
To give you the best support experience possible and fine-tune our own business, we have adopted several key processes and practices. We've highlighted just a few of those here.
Kepner-Tregoe Resolve
Since 2007, Rational Client Support has been using Kepner Tregoe (KT) Resolve, which is a certified process for problem-solving, decision-making, and project execution methods used to resolve client issues. To meet the challenges of supporting you and complex technical environments, we have implemented this efficient, simple, and scalable method to achieve these goals:
- Optimize the first interaction with the client (speed and quality of answer)
- Reduce the number of customer contacts required to define and resolve issues
- Reduce areas of weakness by using a functional rather than an empirical approach to problem resolution
- Provide faster and more accurate problem solving
In 2008, Rational Client Support won the KT International Rational Process Achievement Award for demonstrating increased client satisfaction, reduced time to resolve client issues, and reduced support costs. Those benefits continue to be realized with increased client satisfaction and reduced backlog, year over year.
Knowledge-Centered support
Knowledge-Centered Support is another one of those industry-leading best practices that is helping us transform our business, one in which we make knowledge work a key component of the Problem Management Record (PMR) workflow. Rather than have a few dedicated knowledge workers, everyone in Rational Client Support is a knowledge worker. We work on our technical support content (technotes) dynamically, in real time. The most relevant content is that which assists in solving today's problems, and sharing that knowledge with peers and clients is our primary job. Knowledge isn't power. Shared knowledge is power.
As a result, the answers that we provide are the result of a vibrant, robust, and comprehensive corpus of knowledge that we continually update. Our solutions evolve and improve with every case we handle.
A technical support engineer's job is not to answer one call, provide one solution to that client, and then answer the next call. Our TSEs provide answers and solutions to benefit not just the person they are talking to on the phone right now, but to benefit all of our clients, the support organization, and the next TSE who has to pick up the phone and answer the same question from a different client. Better yet, with constantly updated knowledge base, clients can find and apply the solutions themselves, thus they can avoid having to call tech support. As we work your issue, we are capturing the knowledge we gain as part of our PMR workflow, not as a separate or additional activity, which means that we are maintaining and updating our collective knowledgebase consistently with each PMR that we work.
With Knowledge-Centered Support (see Resources), we improve our support center capacity and improve your ability to find and solve your own problems (we call that "client self-assist").
Business intelligence
Results, results, results! How do we know what we are doing is improving our ability to help you and improving your ability to help yourself? By measuring our business and results and aiming for continual improvement.
Our Business Intelligence Team measures client satisfaction through the survey that you are asked to complete. We measure PMR arrivals, closures, backlog, time to close, and other transactional metrics. We also measure web accesses of technical support content and traffic to our key web areas. We measure our content activity and document-level feedback that we receive. (And we do love feedback!)
To compile results and analyze them against our metrics, we use IBM® Rational® Insight performance management software and IBM® Cognos®,10 business analytics tools (see Resources for links to more information about each of those).
Social business
Since 2009, we have proactively and informally shared our knowledge by using social media: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and our "Notes from Rational Support" developerWorks blog. We also run open mic webcasts on technical topics, key products and core technologies, where you can learn by asking our subject matter experts questions, including our TSEs and development and product managers.
By connecting with you through these channels, we can often help you find the information that you need to be successful with IBM and Rational products before you need to open a support ticket. We share the information that we learn through our support calls with you and others who might need it, so that you don't have to call. By holding open mic calls to share information on relevant technical topics and to field questions, we want to arm you with the information you need.
Please note:
Technical support is not provided through our social business channels To open a Problem Management Report (PMR), please use the channels listed in the next section.
Keep in touch
As you can see, a lot of work and thought goes into providing you the best support experience possible, and we are working every day to make it even better. Rational Client Support is here for you. The passion and energy that people on this team display every single day is, dare I say it, inspirational. We are your advocates, and we're here to help you be successful.

I need to create a custom page template to put the (right) sidebar next to the content with the page header running across both of them at the top.
The default sidebar layout is to have the page header and content on one side, and the sidebar the same height on the other side.
I've gotten as far as copying custom-page.php over but am a bit unsure how/where I start customising it to make my page layout work and not break any responsiveness.
Any tips appreciated! Thanks.

The series you want
I didn't like the prequels much, so fortunately George Lucas gave us a means of purchasing the original movies on blu ray without Jar Jar Binks crashing the party. Seeing Star Wars in high definition is the way it was meant to be seen. I've watched these several times already and you can definately see a big difference in picture quality.

"Yesterday was incredible. 7 inches of fresh and snowed 3-4 inches on top of that. No lift lines and fresh lines everywhere. Some short hikes involved for the very best stuff but worth it. "
"powder heaven but none if the park was open."
"I guess people don't post about this place because they simply don't want others to know about it. Dec. 28th was excellent but the trail to the Poma was closed off due to slide danger effectively taking away 1/3 of the skiable area unless you are a hiker. Other areas are in great shape!"

X360A Review: Doom 3: BFG Edition
Written Thursday, October 25, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
It's been eight years since Doom 3 first saw the light of day - or the dark of Mars - and next year, the Doom series will be celebrating 20 years. No other franchise does corridor shooting like Doom, and back in the day Doom 3 was the scariest shooter around.
But have the years been kind to Doom 3? Does it still hold up against today's crop of first-person shooters? And how does id's HD makeover fare? The Resurrection of Evil expansion is in there too, as well as the Lost Mission content, available for the first time. Is Doom 3: BFG Edition a generous slice of diabolical demon death?
