The accuracies and efficiencies of three different methods of making phylogenetic trees from gene frequency data were examined by using computer simulation. The methods examined are UPGMA, Farris' (1972) method, and Tateno et al.'s (1982) modified Farris method. In the computer simulation eight species (or populations) were assumed to evolve according to a given model tree, and the evolutionary changes of allele frequencies were followed by using the infinite-allele model. At the end of the simulated evolution five genetic distance measures (Nei's standard and minimum distances, Rogers' distance, Cavalli-Sforza's fλ, and the modified Cavalli-Sforza distance) were computed for all pairs of species, and the distance matrix obtained for each distance measure was used for reconstructing a phylogenetic tree. The phylogenetic tree obtained was then compared with the model tree. The results obtained indicate that in all tree-making methods examined the accuracies of both the topology and branch lengths of a reconstructed tree (rooted tree) are very low when the number of loci used is less than 20 but gradually increase with increasing number of loci. When the expected number of gene substitutions (M) for the shortest branch is 0.1 or more per locus and 30 or more loci are used, the topological error as measured by the distortion index (dT) is not great, but the probability of obtaining the correct topology (P) is less than 0.5 even with 60 loci. When M is as small as 0.004, P is substantially lower. In obtaining a good topology (small dT and high P) UPGMA and the modified Farris method generally show a better performance than the Farris method. The poor performance of the Farris method is observed even when Rogers' distance which obeys the triangle inequality is used. The main reason for this seems to be that the Farris method often gives overestimates of branch lengths. For estimating the expected branch lengths of the true tree UPGMA shows the best performance. For this purpose Nei's standard distance gives a better result than the others because of its linear relationship with the number of gene substitutions. Rogers' or Cavalli-Sforza's distance gives a phylogenetic tree in which the parts near the root are condensed and the other parts are elongated. It is recommended that more than 30 loci, including both polymorphic and monomorphic loci, be used for making phylogentic trees. The conclusions from this study seem to apply also to data on nucleotide differences obtained by the restriction enzyme techniques.

i had 100 shares of NWSA prior to the split. and now it shows that i have 100 shares of NWSA# and 25 shares of NWSA. i am very confused about this matter. and the NWSA# doesn't even have a bid and asks price next to it so i can't sell it...anyone knows whats going on?
Sentiment: Buy
you mean 100 shares of FOXA and around 25 of NWSA? FOXA and NWSA should be available for trading. FOXA was issued this Monday to my accounts as expected.
You should get the 25 shares of NWSA($14 +) and soon 100 shares of 21st century fox at I don't know what, maybe for 20 something, I hope closer to 30

Yum, yum, I am so impressed with this very quick and easy recipe, especially since I accidentally cut the butter in half! (For some strange reason I was thinking one stick was one cup, not half) I made these about the size of meatballs and they turned out delicious and gooey cheesy in the center. Thanks!
These are delicious! I was going to make a recipe I usually use but couldn't find it. After searching for hours and finding all kinds of complicated recipes (too much work) I found this recipe. It looked too simple to be very good but I went ahead with it anyway.I used a 4 cheese blend. No paprika because we don't like it. My marbles must be larger than yours because I got 3 1/2 dozen, not 6 dozen. Otherwise followed the directions and in 15 minutes have a very tasty appetizer. They aren't exactly puffs, more like flats, but scrumptious. Just what I needed for tomorrows gathering.
Yummy! like cheese cookies :) I made a full batch, baked 1 dozen (to try them out), and froze the rest for baking fresh for lunchboxes. Thanks for a snack my cheese loving DD will adore.

We had a wonderful stay! Jon and Meghan were such great hosts, and had a weath of knowledge of the city. We had a wonderful stay in their beautiful home!
Taking my 20 year-old daughter back to college we stayed at Jon's home and he could not have been more accommodating. He made up a second bed for us in the study even though we were prepared to share the queen bed! The house was immaculate and so spacious. We picked up some food at Whole Foods and comfortably sat on his couch and watched a great movie on the large flat screen tv. Jon was happy to help with the smallest of questions. The bathroom shower was great with newly wrapped aroma therapy soap and small loofa. Shampoo and blow dryer provided and large super absorbent towels. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and ceiling fans in every room. Even though this is Jon's home it felt like it was set up for guests in such thoughtful ways. Everything needed was placed out including several magazines with local tourist information. My daughter slept in and I had a lovely walk to the local Starbucks on famous Magazine Street past beautiful New Orleans homes. The area around Jon's home is being redeveloped but there are several new homes and very friendly neighbors. We could not have been happier with our choice to stay at Jon's clean, comfortable, and welcoming home.
Clean, large, well located and with easy transportation to the French quarter. Jon & Megan were wonderful hosts and have an amazing dog!! they'll go the extra-mile if necessary to be sure everything goes great
This was my first airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better. Jon and Meg were gracious hosts and went above and beyond our expectations. We felt so welcome and truly enjoyed our stay with them. The house is beautiful and is located in close proximity to the beautiful houses of the Garden District, and Jon has some helpful guides to make the most out of a walking tour. Highly recommended.
Bottom line - this visit met or exceeded our expectation in every way. Jon and Megan were awesome hosts. We wanted a staging point to visit New Orleans for a few days. We didn't have to pay for parking and the price even before that was in line or less than you'd pay for a hotel. You could drive to the French Quarter in 5-10 minutes. The house itself is beautiful inside and Nora the dog is very family-friendly (wish our dog was as well-behaved as she). The area itself is undergoing a lot of changes and looks a little rough, especially if you go a few blocks outside of St. Thomas Street. But during our stay, we never had any concerns about it, so I would strongly stress that if that's your only main concern in choosing to stay or not, I would not let that prevent you from choosing their home (we had two ladies and a 7 year old girl in our party and there were no safety concerns from the ladies at all). I would 100% recommend staying at Jon and Megan's.
Jon and Meghan (and their adorable pup Norah) make wonderful hosts! Four of us stayed here over JazzFest and couldn't have been happier. The house is immaculate and comfortably fit the four of us over a long weekend. Jon knows a lot about the neighborhood and local hot-spots, and we never felt unsafe in the Irish Channel neighborhood (and historic district). The house is also close (less than a mile) to fun restaurants and shops on Magazine Street. I would recommend anyone coming to NOLA to stay here and enjoy the back porch like we did. It's a wonderful home with great people.
We came to NOLA as first-time Jazz Festers. We really couldn't have asked for better hosts. Jon was really helpful even before we arrived giving directions and making us feel at ease with our decision to stay near the Garden District. Once we arrived, the house and hosts were amazing. Jon gave great advice on how to navigate Jazz Fest and the city itself. We would have been lost without him :) Great suggestions for places to eat, drink, shop, and listen to music. He also has a pretty amazing depth of knowledge about the history of the city. Great hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience in NOLA. The house was perfect for our party of 4. Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water and coffee in addition to being within walking distance of the Magazine Street bus and the St. Charles streetcar. By staying here, we found some great restaurants and boutique shopping on Magazine St. that we might of missed had we stayed in the French Quarter. Overall we had a great time with great hosts and would definitely recommend staying here. We look forward to coming back!
Jon and Meagan have a lovely home iwith new construction in an older style. Clean, well kept, very comfortable. Locate a few blocks from bus routes. An older section of town; I felt very safe. They went out of their way to be of assistance.
It was our first time visiting New Orleans. Jon and Maggie were very helpful and they provided warm hospitality. We had a great time stay with them. I strongly recommand them to my friends.
There is not enough that can be said about Jon, Meghan, and their adorable puppy Nora. They were the most gracious hosts, and were extremely knowledgeable about the New Orleans area. Although we only stayed for two nights and didn't see them much, my wife and I both felt like we had been friends forever. Truly, if you need to stay in the New Orleans area, give Jon and Meghan some serious thought. Their house was absolutely beautiful, with a very comfortable bed, in a gorgeous neighborhood. If you are worried about them having a dog, leave those fears behind. Their dog is absolutely adorable, and if I had the chance, I would have taken her. hah She was just as welcoming as her parents, and my wife and I were sad to say goodbye. My wife and I will absolutely be staying here again the next time we are in New Orleans!!!
Reviews From Hosts
Jon and Meghan are perfect guests! Very nice, clean, quite and tidy. I highly recommend it!
Very nice guests! Hope to see you again!
Jon, Meghan and their friends couple stayed in our apartment for 3 night.Absolutely perfect guests! They were coming form a big trip in Europe from Spain to Portugal, and it was a pleasure to host them and welcome them in Lisbon! Really friendly people and very keen into knowing and exploring the city. They left the apartment in a perfect state, clean and tidy! We recommend them to every host in Airbnb.
It's been a pleasure to have Jon in my apartment. We exchanged several emails before the arrival , and he was so cooperative and communicative. He really took care of my recent refurbished apartment, leaving it in perfect conditions. Welcome back, you already know where you have your home in Madrid I recommend him with no hesitation as a guest!!! Thanks Jon!!!
Jon spent just some hours in our apartment. He was very friendly and very polite. It was very nice to meet him and We can recommend him.
Dear Jon, Thank You for your recently stay in N4U GuestHouse Florence. Waiting for your next stay in Florence soon. Guests like you make our Job a Really Pleasure!! Thank you one more. Best Regards and We wish you and Your Family All the Best ! N4U Guest House Florence

As Jon's former roommate, I can honestly say you'd be hard pressed to find a more hospitable host in NOLA. Jon is to hosting like (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) is to search. He literally wouldn't be able to sleep if he felt a guest wasn't sufficiently accommodated. Jon is from NOLA and extremely knowledgeable about the city, he'll gladly share his favorite secret spots around town and will make sure you leave this city (and want to come back) smarter. He takes impeccable care of his beautiful new home which is only about a year old and located smack dab in the middle of everything, with Magazine and the Historic Garden District only steps away, and downtown and uptown only a few blocks in either direction. When I lived there I rode my bike wherever I needed to go. The inside is very clean, comfy, safe (robust security/alarm system), and tastefully festooned with New Orleans culture and interesting items he has collected while traveling the world. You will feel at home, guaranteed.
Jon G. is as reputable as he is handsome, and he's very handsome; I've known him for more than a decade and can indeed vouch for his impeccable taste, thorough manners, honesty, kindness, and New Orleans bona fides. He's great!

By Mr Andrew A Kornacki (USACE)January 12, 2012
The Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) was initiated in 1974 to identify, investigate and clean up or control sites that were part of the Nation's early atomic energy and weapons programs. All of the FUSRAP sites were originally under the control of different government agencies prior to being turned over to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for investigation or remedial action. Given the sensitive nature of the materials located on these sites, along with the element of uncertainty stemming from not knowing what exactly was buried or where, the cost to clean up these sites is difficult to estimate accurately. Too often, the inaccuracy of estimates leads to unrealistic project costs and schedules.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District's FUSRAP site in Painesville, Ohio, faced the same uncertainties as other FUSRAP projects, except this time something was different. Buffalo District's Environmental Branch leadership recognized that there was not a standard procedure in place to account for the project's inherent uncertainties. In order to accurately estimate project costs and schedules one would be needed.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) concepts were used to identify the root cause of the problem. Using a Preventive Action for Continuous Quality Improvement approach, Project Manager Stephen Buechi and chief of the Environmental Engineering Team David Frothingham worked together with Todd Kufel and Jim Wryk of the Cost and Project Engineering Team and Fred Boglione, chief of the Environmental Branch, to adapt an existing process called Cost & Schedule Risk Analysis (CSRA). They were then successful in applying it to multiple FUSRAP projects in the Remediation Phase. This revised process is currently awaiting publication in the Quality Management System.
The CSRA defines the process along with roles and responsibilities for estimating and communicating costs to complete Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) projects. "The process allows us to quantify the uncertainty and apply it to our yearly budget and schedule estimates," said Frothingham.
Now that the process is in place and has been successfully executed, three other FUSRAP sites in the Buffalo District and other FUSRAP sites across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division could potentially benefit from it. "The intent is to apply this process to all LRD FUSRAP sites during the Remediation Phase," said Buechi. "It also serves as an effective communication tool when submitting budgets to Corps Headquarters."
The CSRA team successfully modeled the effectiveness of the QMS-ISO system by identifying an issue, coming up with a solution, implementing it and ultimately showing how the process not only benefits a single project, but how it can be expanded and applied to multiple projects.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Court documents say a traffic stop in
Norman has broken up a drug operation and solved a string of
drugstore burglaries in the state.
A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent says in an
affidavit that 20-year-old Jeremy Lavorchek admitted to selling
drugs and to committing at least six burglaries.
Lavorchek had more than 1,800 prescription drug tablets when he
was arrested Dec. 7.
The documents say e admitted selling marijuana, Ecstasy and
prescription drugs in Ada, Norman, Oklahoma City, Edmond and
Stillwater each day.
He said he earned about $1,000 a day selling the drugs during
the six days before his arrest.
He also admitted to burglarizing drug stores in Edmond, Guthrie,
Stillwater, Eufaula and Purcell from Oct. 31 through Dec. 4.

I am saddened to report the passing of long time MMA member and Drag Racer Bob Forsythe after a long battle with cancer.
Bob was an excellent mechanic and was always willing to help others sort out issues with their cars, be it street or race. Bob's work and advice could always be trusted.

Bob, you will be missed. Godspeed.
The MMA will be making a donation to CancerCare in Bob's memory.

Texas Attorney General John Cornyn filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Texas Health Enterprises, HEA Enterprises and Peter "Woody" Kern, accusing them of endangering nursing-home residents.
The suit, filed at the request of the Texas Department of Human Services, alleges the violations at the Kilgore Nursing Center in East Texas resulted in the death of one elderly woman.
DHS officials have publicly expressed frustration with the violations at nursing-home facilities.
"We applaud Attorney General Cornyn and his staff for filing this suit on our behalf," said Eric Bost, DHS commissioner. "We at DHS intend to keep working with the attorney general and other groups to ensure that vulnerable Texans living in nursing homes are well-treated. Our system to protect nursing-home residents must have integrity and direction. (This) action is a step in the right direction."
Kern, owner of THE and HEA, operates 105 nursing homes across Texas, DHS records show.
Heather Browne, spokesman for Cornyn's office, said more than 24 lawsuits are pending against THE for health and safety code violations, but this is the first lawsuit filed against Kern individually.
THE officials and Kern would not return phone calls Thursday.
The Attorney General is asking the court to assess $20,000 per day in civil penalties against the corporation.
DHS records show that THE and HEA have been assessed more than $3 million in fines between 1995 and 1998. Kern has paid only $119,643 of those penalties, records show.
THE owns Panhandle Care Center, Country Club Manor and Palo Duro Care Center in Amarillo.
The attorney general has pending lawsuits against Panhandle Care Center and Palo Duro Care Center.
A combined $117,000 in fines has been imposed because of violations at the two Amarillo nursing homes. Kern has paid $35,300 of those penalties.
THE also owns Golden Plains Care Center in Hereford, which was assessed almost $1 million in violation penalties in 1995 and 1996. None of those fines have been paid.
Browne said Cronyn is committed to closing the book on the pending cases.
"It's this office's intention to uphold the law," Browne said. "We will be making sure that things are followed through. That is a goal and a commitment."

LUBBOCK - Texas Tech had prominent pass rushers last year when Brandon Williams and McKinner Dixon bagged more than their share of quarterbacks.
Up Next
Kansas State (3-2 overall, 1-0 in Big 12) at Texas Tech (3-2, 0-1), 6 p.m. Saturday, Jones AT&T Stadium, Lubbock.
TV/Radio: FOXSS, KARX (95.7-FM), KPAN (860-AM Hereford), KXIT (96.1-FM Dalhart), KLSR (105.3-FM Memphis), KOMX (100.3-FM Pampa), KVOP (1090-AM Plainview).
This season, with less star power, the Red Raiders are on pace to exceed last year's sack total of 34, which was an eight-season high. Tech ranks in the top 20 nationally in sacks and tackles for loss.
"It's guys finishing plays and us wanting to attack,'' defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill said. "We want to make sure we're attacking on defense. I think that tells us (statistically) we are attacking. We have to keep that up.''
Tech's average of 2.8 sacks per game - a little ahead of last year's 2.62 - is tied for 17th in the nation. Its average of 7.6 tackles behind the line - higher than last year's 4.85 - is tied for 15th in the country.
A group effort has been required. When Williams left early for the NFL draft and Dixon was lost to academics, the Tech defense had to make up for more than 20 sacks from two players.
Defensive end Daniel Howard has been a week-in, week-out terror with five sacks, but mostly the Red Raiders have dialed up a little more pressure from a lot of players. Fourteen players have at least one tackle behind the line, including seven players with at least three.
Bront Bird, who has been used about as much at defensive end as strong-side linebacker, traces the progression to McNeill's promotion to defensive coordinator two years ago.
"His big word is 'attack,' '' Bird said. "Quit worrying about thinking so much; just go out there and attack. Our D-line has been playing great so far. They're athletic, and they attack people. That takes offensive linemen off guard, or running backs off guard. That's where a lot of the tackles for loss come from.''
McNeill has tried some new wrinkles to get to the passer. In Saturday's 48-28 victory against New Mexico, freshman nickel back Will Ford got two quarterback pressures from blitzing out of the slot.
"People probably don't notice,'' McNeill said, "but we do blitz more than we have because they understand the package better and we're getting better at fundamentals.''
McNeill said he didn't have any numbers to document the increased blitzing.
"I don't really keep up with that. I just know I'm calling it,'' he said. "Situation dictates that. Time of the game dictates that. And the guys are able to handle it better.''
Despite Tech's lofty ranking in tackles for loss, no individual has skewed the rating by himself. Bird, weak-side linebacker Marlon Williams and Howard have five apiece, which has them tied for 100th in tackles for loss per game. But defensive linemen Richard Jones and Colby Whitlock, middle linebacker Brian Duncan and cornerback LaRon Moore have three or more tackles apiece behind the line.

Retailers face potentially heavy costs if a proposal for changing Internet address rules goes through. What's worse, they likely would get little or nothing from their investment.
This week's launch of the .co domain brings to mind the possibility that retailers could before long be faced with deciding how to deal with many more top-level domains in addition to the ones we all know, such as .com, .gov, .edu and .org. That's because ICANN, the organization that oversees the Internet's addressing system, has been considering—for a few years now—a proposal to dramatically increase the number of top-level domains. Advocates think it would be great if cities could have domains like .nyc or .london, enthusiasts could navigate to .music or loyal customers of retailers could shop at web sites that end with .amazon or .bestbuy.
ICANN has not yet approved the concept in large part because of the opposition of retailers and other large corporations. Those companies realize they would have to pay hefty fees to many domain registrars to protect their brands. Amazon may not feel the need to create an amazon.rome site, but they don't want anyone else using that URL to market to shoppers in Italy's capital. Given that there could be many new top-level domains if this proposal is approved, the fees could add up.
Just this week, online retailer Overstock.com announced it had paid $350,000 for the domain name O.co, making it one of the first to take advantage of the new .co domain. Overstock had its own reasons—as it moves to sell a broader range of merchandise and not just excess inventory, it's trying to rebrand itself as O, a name that doesn't say overstocked goods the way Overstock.com does. Chances are most URLs would not be so costly.
But why pay anything when these new domains have no reason for being? This may have been a good idea a decade ago, but now search engines make it obsolete. If someone in Rome, or anywhere else, wants to find Amazon, all they have to do is Google it. You'll get to Amazon.com, or a local version of it, such as Amazon's European gateway to its British, French and German sites. If your musical interests runs to jazz, hip-hop or a particular artist, all you have to do is search for your interest and you'll get all the options you need. I don't think a .music domain would make your life easier.
The only beneficiary would be the domain registrars that could charge fees for the new Internet addresses. Not surprisingly, they're the ones behind the proposal to allow new top-level domains. But I've yet to hear a coherent argument why a retailer would support the idea. Retailers have plenty of better ways to spend their money.

Is it possible on Windows NT to have one directory sort of on top of another?
For example I have a directory like this:
It has a file in it called
I have another directory like this:
It has the file
museum.txt in it.
I would like to be able to talk about
C:\foo\museum.txt and automatically get
Additionally, if a file named
C:\bar\baz\zoo.txt is ever created, I would like that file when referencing
Lastly, if I create a file named
C:\foo\qux.txt I would like that file to actually appear in
C:\bar\baz\qux.txt and if I ever cancel the overlay mount or whatever mechanism I'm using to make this happen, it will disappear from
Are these things possible?
Basically, I have a vendor supplied directory that needs to have some source code overlaid on top of it and compiled. But I would like the actual vendor supplied directory to remain in the state it was when it was shipped from the vendor.
Right now a backup is kept of this directory, and it is restored from backup before the source code is built, then the current version of the source code is copied onto it. This is very inefficient and error prone.

They're all different sizes and some of them can be erased in the extreme heat here in Phoenix.They're also easy to lose. The receipt you tucked into your pocket to keep safe is now happily soaking in the washing machine. -advertisement- That's why I've rounded up a few apps to help you keep track of your receipts.

I'm not certain quite the purpose for showing the inner workings of the Democrats' Rules Committee as they wrestle with the issue of delegates and super delegates in contested states Florida and Michigan.
On the one hand, I think it's valuable to some to understand how all this gets worked out re: who will be the Democratic Party nominee. On the other, however, bringing out (so called, cough, cough) big guns like CNN's Wolf Blitzer to discuss things like the Austin petition and half votes and whether Howard Dean will say, "yeeehaaaaaw" again (he won't, but CNN likes to make Dems seem dumb) makes the whole thing seem a little ditzy.
Me? I suspect it's a ratings black hole.

Hi, I've searched the codex and forums with no luck, so hopefully someone can advise.
I'm building a site with WP as the CMS for a friend and we're including a form that allows a visitor to join an announcement email list. The join-list script is a CGI provided by the web host -- at their own prespecified URL; I can't alter it. It lets you specify custom URLs for confirmation and error pages (you've sucessfully subscribed/unsubscribed; invalid email, etc.), and I've created pages for these cases. I have WordPress' permalink rewrites turned on so pages appear as example.com/postslug/.
The script returns the user to the appropriate custom URLs but also appends a query string in case you want to use the data the user just submitted to do any custom scripting. The problem is that the script collects the user' name as "name" -- so the script sends the user back to a URL like this:
I believe WordPress uses "name" for the post slug, so this is throwing a 404.
I've already asked the host to give me the option to NOT receive that query string; I don't need it. Haven't heard back yet. If they fail to respond or can't accommodate, is there anything I can do about this -- some way to ignore the query string beyond the permalink on this handful of pages?) I'd like to I'd like to be able to hand this site off to its owner and let them use their host's one-click upgrades when new versions of WP come out, so ideally I'd like to avoid modifying WP core files.
Hopefully the host will come through on this, but I figured there might be bright ideas on the forums too. Got any? Thanks!
One more thing -- I've verified that I can get this to work if I simply don't request the name, but the site owner would really like to have that too, so I'm giving it a shot ;)

A beautiful place to visit and to learn more about caves and nature. The guides are very polited and respectful. Since you're there, go to the museum inside the park area and learn more and more with Erika's help.
I keep good memories and return . excellent place I enjoyed and recommend. Rescue good energy. You have to travel one hour it is far . Look for tour operator
This cave is not huge, but quite spectacular. Over 500 meters in length with amazing formations. (Reminder - Stalactites hang from the ceiling, the other ones are stalagmites....) Reasonably priced, easily accessible, and ample parking. The pavilion at the state park is very nice with a small coffee shop and store. Staff was very friendly and the tour of the...
This is a nice place to visit. You can know the history of the Caves and the rock formations. Only I don't really think it's worth it if you're far away. Like it's a really short visit. Less than an hour I would say in total.
One cannot believe that nature can form this kind of things with water ! They give the guests a lot of access to places that probably we can´t see around the world. The food is average, the restrooms are average.
This cavern is fantastic... If you like to have experiences with nature, supported by a good staff and very well planed visit, you should go there!
Make sure you book as we arrived at two and due to a school trip could not get in. It was booked for one hour by school trip and closed at four!
The cave has "rooms" with amazing shapes formes over millions of years. It's a place worth visiting by its natural beauty, besides the museum with lots of pieces of fossils and a bit of the history of the region.
This is an amazing site to visit when in Minas Gerais state. The Danish cientis Peter Lund is the discoverer and explorer of many sites in the area. Anthropology and history together.
What are the entry fees for this attraction per person

Blogging was supposed to be that great medium that will help us transition from the web world where the design and the presentation so often dictate what we see and where individuals and companies are judged by how they look to a world where the ideas are the main thing and everybody is earning ranks based on their minds and souls.
Well, at least it was supposed to be about content, not about presentation. And it was supposed to speed up the processing of the information overflow and help us find the interesting stuff.
And it is - to a degree, though. There are still people that would put in their feed only 20 words. Which is great if these 20 words are the essence. But, every so often these words are just the first 20 words of the post. And as with any beginning, they often fail to catch my attention.
This feels wrong on so many levels. Here I'll list only few:
Anyhow, Chris Clark said it better than me.

"Life is like a drama..." Chin-men by THLIN
Chin-men Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 33 photos
It has been 7 year since I left the island. Glad that I made it here?
From the left: mongzong, yungxiang, sichao, myself, yuwei, yuexian, ruitang, yungqing. Too you guys, thanx for being great companion for me. My military life is messy and miserable, without you these bimboes, my life could only be worse!!
Living in the island two months already, basically I don't have time going around; on my holidays, I spent most of time on Internet Cafe. In the island, I found it very different from Taiwan, from dialect to architech. I'd say even people in the island are more friendly than in Taiwan. Here you can still see some old herbal pharmacies. However, the island's economy is based on our salaries; therefore, food, shops, and even Internet cafe are very expensive. SIGH...
It was not until the last moment that I knew I would be in this island for the coming year. Yah, thanks to those who made me stay in this island, it's much fun to stay here than Hiao Chin-men.
I will upload some more when I stay here longer:)

I took over a site recently which had been hacked a number of times in the past. No security plugins had ever been installed and the hack is still present, mostly within the theme files but also I think in one of the Contact form plugins.
The warning I am seeing is as follows:
This file is a PHP executable file and contains the word 'eval' (without quotes) and the word 'base64_decode(' (without quotes).
I just want to confirm before I delete anything if there is ever a legitimate reason for this code to be present in any files in a WordPress install? I'm pretty sure the files flagged are the hacked ones but never hurts to double check.

Bad karma: we can't find that page!
You asked for http://www.medicexchange.com/cardiology/imaging-techniques-for-cad-diagnosis-examined.html, but despite our computers looking very hard, we could not find it. What happened ?
- the link you clicked to arrive here has a typo in it
- or somehow we removed that page, or gave it another name
- or, quite unlikely for sure, maybe you typed it yourself and there was a little mistake ?
It's not the end of everything though : you may be interested in the following pages on our site:

Texas Tech University
Established in 1923, TTU and the TTU Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) comprise one of the four major universities in Texas. Situated on a 1,839 acre campus, TTU houses several undergraduate colleges, a Graduate School, and a School of Law. The TTU Health Sciences Center (adjacent to the Main Campus) houses schools of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health. Undergraduate degrees are offered in over 150 majors; more than 100 graduate degrees are offered in over 70 programs. Historically, TTU was nationally known for its academic programs in Engineering and Agriculture; however, within the past 40 years all academic programs have been developed and staffed to equal emphasis. Students represent every state in the nation and more than 90 foreign countries. TTU has been attracting increasing numbers of National Merit Scholars and is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and by numerous professional societies. The TTU Athletic program is part of the Big Twelve Conference.
The TTU Student Population
Texas Tech University's current enrollment is more than 35,000. Approximately 60%
of the student body is Caucasian, and 40% are from ethnically diverse populations.
Hispanic (20%) and African-American (5%) students comprise the largest ethnic populations
on campus. Approximately 8% of the student body is of foreign residency, and approximately
84% are Texas residents. The ethnic diversity of the Student Counseling Center clients
parallels the diversity of the university students.
Reflective of the national trend, the Student Counseling Center has experienced an increase in the severity of concerns in students seeking services. Clients are assigned to interns in such a way that allows exposure to a wide variety of diagnoses, degrees of severity, and demographic diversity. The age composition of our service population covers the life span beginning with late teens; however, our clientele is mostly traditional college-age students.
The SCC subscribes to a brief therapy model of services; currently students receive up to 12 sessions per academic year. For training purposes and to encourage student utilization, group therapy services are not currently subject to the session limit.
Lubbock Area
With a population of 229,000, Lubbock is located in the southern region of the West Texas panhandle. Lubbock has a moderate, fairly dry climate with an annual rainfall of only 18 inches. The city lies 320 miles west of Dallas, 375 miles northwest of Austin, and 320 miles southeast of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Several major airlines, an interstate highway and four U.S. highways make Lubbock easily accessible for travel. Lubbock and its surrounding area offer a rich, warm blend of hospitality and West Texas culture. The South Plains are the home of several wineries, including the internationally acclaimed Llano Estacado Winery. Regular regional events include rodeos, Mexican American and African American cultural events, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, country and western dancing and western art shows. The United Spirit Arena on Tech's campus hosts several top-selling performers in concert each year. Lubbock is also home to over 500 eating establishments serving both ethnic and regional cuisine. For the sports-minded, Lubbock offers a wide array of activities: tennis and racquetball facilities are plentiful; water skiers can enjoy Buffalo Springs Lake; the mountains of New Mexico, which offer skiing and hiking opportunities, are only 3-4 hours drive from Lubbock. Although it can get hot in the summer, the dry climate provides cool, pleasant evenings and beautiful sunsets.

Skip to comments.Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka welcome fraternal twins
Posted on 10/16/2010 5:32:13 PM PDT by WebFocus
Neil Patrick Harris, star of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Doogie, Howser, M.D." has become the proud father of twins with his partner David Burtka. Harris welcomed a baby boy and a baby girl on October 12, 2010.
Neil Patrick Harris used Twitter to send a message to his followers about how babies Gideon Scott and Harper Grace are doing at home. The message Harris sent on Friday, October 15, 2010:
"All of us are happy, healthy tired, and a little pukey."
No stranger to Twitter, a previous post from the star of television and Broadway sent a Tweet to followers while still awaiting the birth of his children. In the message, Neil Patrick Harris shared his feelings about becoming a father and pleaded for privacy:
"We're super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy,"
The babies were born to a surrogate mother, according to People magazine.
Boston residents can watch Neil Patrick Harris on "How I Met Your Mother" which airs on local CBS affiliate WBZ in Boston, MA.
he's got the pukey part right......
Homos are nothing but trouble.
Not possible.
So which one of them gave birth?
I believe one of them became a father.
I don't think that it right for two men to have a baby
with a surrogate. it's a private contract — that's okay.
But these poor kids have no say. Wouldn't you want a mommy and
The author failed biology.
"Well, children, it was through a turkey baster, actually. . . ."
>> "All of us are... a little pukey."
Roger that, "fellas". Every time I think about you flamers I throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Those poor children. It's a travesty, forcing them to be reared (figuratively; I hope they don't end up LITERALLY "reared") by a couple of sex perverts.
I bet he hasn't.
His boyfriend looks like him but with dark hair. So he is essentially dating himself.
The legend of Narcissus comes true in our glorious modern era.
Maybe a mixed load for the surrogate?
Pray for those babies.
I feel sorry for the little boy.
I just knew when watching Doogie a long time ago that kid was queer as a 3 dollar bill. How did a man have twins? This article makes it sound as if the David guy actually gave birth to twins. The MSM is sick. No self respecting person would write a report they way this one is written.
Barf. You forgot the barf alert.
Isn't that the core of homosexuality? Looking for the self, instead of looking for the other to complete ones self, the compliment to the self.
Watch House Hunters and any other program that has a higher percentage of homosexual/lesbian couples. See if you come away with the same impression that I've gotten, that they tend to share the same hairstyles/haircuts, glasses/no glasses, facial shape and general coloring, as well as similar clothing. It almost seems as though they either love themselves narcissistically or wish someone would love them (not necessarily sexually) and so use a look-a-like to show love to.
This is based on very limited observations.
Looking at this strictly from a biological standpoint, homosexuality in animals is not a good thing for the survival of the species.
There can be no offspring from a homosexual union.
The entire thing about sex is to introduce new and sometimes better genes into the pool. Random mutations can make a species stronger or weaker.
Eventually, homosexuality SHOULD die out if it's genetic unless there is pairing and IF a gene is responsible it will be muted.
If it's a choice, then they'll keep passing on the behavior to the adopted children.
Either way, I hope the children of these two men have an opportunity to grow up with some sort of female role models and not in some Fudge Factory all the time.
Why do we do these things to ourselves?
I find it amusing that his character on How I Met Your Mother is such a womanizer, and the version of him in Harold and Kumar is as well. Oh well I guess that is what acting is.
That's interesting. I last remember seeing him in "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle". Got the distinct impression he was anything but gay.
What, did David have the babies through his anus or something?
I want to know which one is breastfeeding.
"How I Inseminated Your Mother". . . .
We don't. Accepting perversion as mainstream behavior is forced upon us by the Left who dominate the media, academia and increasingly, the judiciary.
Child abuse of the highest order.
His boyfriend looks like him but with dark hair. So he is essentially dating himself.
Same Sex Attraction is a form of extreme narcissism.
Or, I should say: Child abuse of the lowest order.
This is sick.
We outlawed the making of merchandise out of human being a hundred and fifty years ago.
Babies are persons, not property.
These people are trying to turn America and the world to barbarism.
I cannot, and do not, condone this. Not that they'd ask my opinion, but if there's ever a nationwide referendum, I'm saying a big NO. On the lighter side, I'm reminded of a Groucho quote. Does anyone know who the mother is?
Poor kids
I can not imagine a fate more sad, than two children deprived of a mother, because of the selfish desires of 2 men.
Total and complete selfishness. Putting their desires before the welfare of 2 helpless children.
Kids are not pets! They need mothers, as well as fathers. This is disgusting.
Who was the sperm donor?
How about the little girl? No Mommy to play dollies with; to fix her hair and nurture her when she falls and scrapes her knee. Men, gay or not, do not have the same feelings and emotions as women do. This little girl has no other females in the home on a daily basis. No role model.
Every child deserves a mother. Yes, sometimes tragedy strikes and mothers die before their children are grown. But, those kids, especially girls, always have a hole in their hearts. It is so utterly unfair to children to force them into a life with out an opposite sex parent. Be it through divorce, unmarried parenthood, or gay partnerships; children deserve better than they are getting these days!
These two homosexuals, topic of this thread, may never engage in it, but the young male body is known to be a magnet for homosexuals everywhere.
These two can play house all they want, pitcher, catcher, mommy, daddy, whatever, truth is, it is a very sick game.

Hollywood is NOTHING but a Commie Gay Mafia.
who pitches and catches????
Yes it is. And the argument used to strike down the laws against homosexuality was "why do you care what two adults do in their own homes?"..."who do they hurt?"
I think it is clear right here, who these people hurt: KIDS. They hurt kids, because they only care about their own lusts. Not only sexual lusts, but power, money, fame and every imaginable self centered thing they imagine. They do not care about what the children need; what is best for them; they just think having children validates their lifestyle and it might be "fun". Well, kids are wonderful; but they are also not for selfish people to have...they demand and deserve a lot of selfless attention.
Ya think???
Well said.
Yes it is a sick game, played by a sick media and judiciary; to allow the victimization of children.
I did not know about the case of the Duke University HEALTH department head to raped his adopted 5 year old, videotaped it, and offered the lad to others. I did not know there was a website and men who watch this website where these things happen. That is the fault of the media..We certainly heard about the rape of a black woman-—an adult who CHOSE the lifestyle of stripping her clothes off in front of hormonal drunken men-—we heard about that day and night!
But, we did not hear about a helpless little black boy who the courts forced into a gay home, where he was raped by the men who adopted him and tortured and offered as a prostitute! WHY NOT?!! Here was a man in a position of power in the school...and we get silence.
Disgusting ! And I watch his TV show back in 1990 !
All of this unnatural stuff becoming the norm is creepy. When two guys, a surrogate and turkey baster is deemed to be the the way to start a "family", well, it's just icky. As my very smart wife says: "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD."
I stopped watching this show when he revealed what a pervert he is.
