Best Of :: People & Places
There's something about walking into a polling place that just makes you feel like a good citizen. There you are, doing your best to select from among the candidates, acting informed even if you really aren't. So what better place to perform such a civic duty than a schoolhouse, especially such a classic, old-fashioned-looking one as Edgar Allan Poe Elementary? Tucked inside the lovely Museum District, this Philip Ewald-designed school exudes such a patriotic vibe you feel like saluting when you walk in the front door. Sure, it's named after an alcoholic writer, not some founding father. But when you toss in the delicious baked goods and coffee on sale every Election Day, the name doesn't much matter.
Houston's signature waterway has been a murky mystery since before the Allen brothers followed it upstream and planted the future Space City on its banks. But at least back then its green-brown waters were clear of the flotsam and jetsam of modern civilization. Starting this summer, a vessel called The Mighty Tidy is aiming to rectify the situation. It cruises the bayou five days a week from Shepherd to the East Loop, scooping up tons of floating garbage. It's also equipped with attachments to pick trash off the bayou banks and out of overhanging trees. Credit its unusual colors to those zany Art Guys, Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, who turned the quarter-million-dollar boat into a flamingo-pink nautical vacuum cleaner.
Talk about perfect timing. On June 26, just two days before the 25th anniversary of Houston's Pride Parade, the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down Texas's homosexual sodomy law by a 6-3 vote. The law, which outlawed sodomy only when practiced by gays, was challenged by two Houston men named John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were arrested in 1998 when police discovered them having sex in Lawrence's apartment. Speaking for the court, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy declared, "The state cannot demean [homosexuals'] existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime." While conservative Justice Antonin Scalia said the court had "taken sides in the culture war" and had "largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," activists across the country pooh-poohed him and gathered to celebrate. At a City Hall rally in Houston, Ray Hill, a longtime local warrior for gay rights, happily declared, "We can't -- by this decision -- ever go back."
Alicia Lee's son is a resident at Willow River Farms, a division of the nonprofit Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation. Every fall the residents of this Brookshire, Texas, facility made fruitcakes. That is, until Barbara Bush, for whom Lee had once volunteered at the White House, suggested they expand their repertoire to include gingersnaps. Six years ago, Lee sent a tin of Willow River Farms gingersnaps to Bush at Kennebunkport. The former first lady liked them so much, she sent out tins to all of her friends at Christmastime. Since then Lee has also added mouthwatering cheese snaps to the Farms' list of offerings. The cookies sell for between $15 and $25 a tin. And last year, Lee sold $215,000 worth of treats. The proceeds have paid for electronic doors for wheelchair residents, extra hospital beds and clinic refurbishing. Get your holiday orders in now.
If it's September, it must be Stanton Welch -- as artistic director of Houston Ballet, that is. But it was a long good-bye for now-emeritus artistic director Ben Stevenson. He first resigned back in February 2002, but a change of heart kept him here through June 2003. Well, in spirit at least. Stevenson wasn't around much after he resigned a second time and the board selected Welch as his replacement in January of this year. Other assignments, most notably with the Dallas-Fort Worth ballet, kept him on the road. It will be interesting to see what sort of continued presence Stevenson has at HB and how that will affect Welch's direction of the company. It's a tough job to take over from a living legend.
We like our quotes short, to the point and all-encompassing, and Dave Hickey's definition of Tex-Mex fills the bill on all three counts. In the Houston Press issue of December 26, 2002, in an attempt to clarify an earlier pithy quote ("Rock and roll is like Mexican food. As it improves in quality it stops being what it is"), the Texas-born critic said he meant to say Tex-Mex, not Mexican food. What's more, he likes Tex-Mex more than the stuff from across the Rio Grande. "My commitment is to Tex-Mex," he told the Press. "Which I define as the absence of fucking vegetables."

Constituent Update - Special Alert, December 27, 2013
Roaster Definition Update
On Nov. 3, 2011, FSIS amended the definitions and standards for the official U.S. classes of poultry so that they more accurately and clearly describe the characteristics of poultry in the market today (76 FR 68058). Genetic improvements and poultry management techniques have reduced the grow-out period for some poultry classes that resulted in a need for FSIS to amend its standards to more accurately reflect poultry being marketed to consumers. The new standards will become effective Jan. 1, 2014.
On Nov.18, 2013, the National Chicken Council (NCC) submitted a petition at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/adf54579-7a18-4ab2-a9b5-88f1eef65332/Petition-National-Chicken-Council.pdf?MOD=AJPERES requesting that FSIS amend its regulations for the definition and standard of identity for the "roaster" chicken class that is scheduled to become effective on Jan. 1, 2014. According to the petition, the new "roaster" standard will result in companies being unable to market certain chickens as "roasters" because of the minimum age requirement. The new definition states that a "roaster" is a young chicken between 8 and 12 weeks of age with a ready-to-cook (RTC) carcass weight of 5 pounds or more, that is tender-meated with soft, pliable, smooth-textured skin and breastbone cartilage that is somewhat less flexible than that of a broiler or fryer. The NCC asserts that improvements in breeding and poultry management techniques that have continued since FSIS published the November 2013, final rule have enabled producers to now raise chickens with the weight and other characteristics of roasters in under 8 weeks. In addition to requesting that FSIS amend the new "roaster" standard, the NCC has requested that the agency suspend the effective date for the roaster definition until the agency is able to amend the regulations. NCC submitted additional data on Dec.16, 2013, in support of their petition.
FSIS, in consultation with USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), conducted a preliminary review of the petition and supporting data and found that data show that there are chickens less than 8 weeks of age with a RTC carcass weight of 5 pounds or more and other physical characteristics of a roaster. The age of these birds falls within the age range for "broilers," (i.e., under 10 weeks), but these birds have the size and other physical attributes of roasters. Based on these findings, FSIS and AMS agree that there is a need to address this gap in the regulations. Therefore, until it completes its evaluation of the petition, FSIS will allow chickens younger than 8 weeks of age to be labeled and marketed as "roasters" after the new poultry class standards go into effect, provided that these birds meet all of the other characteristics of a roaster in the standard, i.e., a ready to cook carcass weight of 5 pounds or more, tender-meated with soft, pliable, smooth-textured skin that is somewhat less flexible than that of a broiler or fryer. FSIS intends to publish a document in the Federal Register in the near future proposing to appropriately revise the definition of a roaster or reaffirming the definition that it established in November 2011.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team saw a season that was highlighted by their first win in South Atlantic Conference play and gained respect on the national level in their game against Winthrop University.
The Tornados improved in Coach Juan Mascaro's second season at Brevard, as the team caught on fire toward the end of the season, recording three of their five victories in the month of October to give the team a good base to build on in the future.
Brevard dealt with injuries throughout the season as several players missed stretches of games leaving the Tornados shorthanded for much of the 2008 season. In spite of the injuries, the team won five games, improving on last year's total by one and recorded one tie.
Brevard's first win of the season came on the road on September 13th as the Tornados topped Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, N.C. by a score of 1-0. It was the second straight season in which the Tornados have defeated the Falcons in men's soccer action. BC's first home win of the season came on September 27th when reserve freshman forward Tim Blevins scored in the 87th minute against Toccoa Falls College to give the Tornados a 4-3 victory. Late game heroics continued in the next Tornado win, as freshman Jussi Halonen scored the game-winning goal with seven minutes on the clock against North Georgia to notch a 2-1 Brevard win on October 7th. The last week of October was all Brevard as they recorded their first SAC win on October 24th against Lincoln Memorial. The game began in a torrential downpour which saw players skidding all over the muddy field trying to control the ball, and ended with Halonen putting the ball in the net in the first overtime for the 2-1 win. The final win of the season came at home on Senior Day as the Tornados gave lone senior Kyle Hamilton the perfect gift as they shutout North Greenville, 2-0, on October 28th.
On the season, Brevard ranked eighth in the conference in goals scored, eighth in assists, first in saves, and tied for seventh in shutouts recorded.
Tornados mentioned in the South Atlantic Conference statistical rankings include Halonen who finished in a tie for 10th in assists on the season with four, and he was also tied for fourth in game-winning goals with three. Freshman goalkeeper Jerry Hatsady was first in the conference in saves, fifth in save percentage, and tied for sixth in shutouts recorded for the season while patrolling the pipes for the Tornados.
Leaders for the Tornados on the season on the offensive side include Halonen and fellow freshman Miika Kastarinen, who both recorded five goals on the season. Hamilton finished up his senior campaign with four, while freshman Ville Toivanen and junior Douglas Neill rounded out the group with three goals apiece. Halonen led the passing attack with four assists, with sophomore Henri Erti right behind, recording three of his own.
Hatsady recorded a conference-high 136 saves in his 20 games for the Tornados and ended with a 5-14-1 record on the season.
The Tornados were led by junior defender and captain Ian Townson, who showed his leadership on the field as he took most of the penalty and free kicks, as well as ending many opponents' advances into the Tornado backline.
The Tornados only lose one senior (Hamilton), but return a talented group of 25 players ready to take the conference by storm as they build on this season's success.

Firstly just want to say thanks in advance.
I've just started converting a more or less static site into a php driven site. I haven't previouslyused php to any great length and I'm seriously having problems setting up includes. I'm workingon localhost at the moment.
My directory/project structure is as the following:
If at all possible, what I'm trying to do is set the path to the includes via htaccess and then beable to use that path on any page, in any directory.
I've currently got this in my htaccess file in the root directory:
php_value include_path "php"
The implementation below then works a charm when called from files within the root directory.
<?php require_once("some-include.php"); ?>
<?php include_once("some-include.php"); ?>
It fails however when includes called in the same manner with files in subdirectories. In order toget it to work I've had to create a separate .htaccess file for each directory and place the following:
php_value include_path "../php"
How can I set the path globally in my main htaccess or php.ini and be able to just implement theincludes without having to use relative paths?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated at this point.
In my case I have full access to the server and I created a folder in the php directory; the path to this folder is in my php.ini file.I can include any file I want from any page on the server with a simple include e.g. include ('layout.css'); and not need to worry about any paths.
Can you do it this way or do you not have enough access?
I belive php_value include_path "php" is the path to the php folder that is above the server root and I would think you need to define the path to you includes folder in greater detail.
It is because you are using relative paths. Use absolute.php_value include_path "/start/from/the/root/use/the/full/path/to/php"
php_value include_path "/start/from/the/root/use/the/full/path/to/php"
Awesome, thanks for your suggestions @logic and @Rubble.I'll implement them and and see how it goes, my brain's friedright now.
Much appreciated.
Try this before setting your links:
echo getcwd(); die;
# now set the relative path wherever _file_001.php is stored
#include_path "_file-001.php" // this directory
#include_path "../_file-001.php" // up one directory
#include_path "../../_file-001.php" // up two directory
#include_path "../../../_file-001.php" // up to wherever directory
Hi RogueSkolar. Welcome to the forums.
Does that mean you have the site running locally, on your computer? Normally, the paths will be different on your local computer from the paths on the remote server, which can be a pain. So you can set up your hosts file to treat your site like it's online, meaning that you don't have to change any code when you put your site on the www. If you are doing this locally, what system are you on? (Mac, PC?)
Good point @ralph_m ;, it made me read the OP again.
Going back to the OP, you initially said this was your setup.
There is something I need to warn you about -- that is not how you would normally set things up, an includes directory inside your public website directory structure.
Include folders normally contain code which you do not want made public so you would normally have REAL (HDD) paths like this:
(which of course appear as mysite.com/index.php etc once your server is configured correctly, much as @ralph_m; is suggesting)
Then here is the shared place you would keep all of your include files:
Which would then be available to all of your websites.
(I am using /var/www/ as the default web folder, yours may look more like /xamp/public/http-docs/ or something ... it matters not)
Also, there is nothing stopping you have a folder WITHIN that /includes folder for just mysite.com
Then you can set the ini directive to tell PHP that all include files live at
php_value include_path "/var/www/includes"
This makes life really simple, all include files will initially be searched for in this directory.
Tradition would then have it that you would have say a file with all of your database connection credentials in a file for this project and name it:
and save it as:
You then include that file FROM ANYWHERE in your website PHP files with the simple instruction:
include 'mysite-config.php';
Another example might be a really useful piece of PHP code which outputs variables for a date picker. You might use that in more than one project so you'd save it as /var/www/includes/date-picker.php and then from all your projects on different websites on this server you'd simple do:
include 'date-picker.php';
You want to totally avoid mysite-config.php being accessible from your website, by someone stumbling across it in a publicly accessible folder such as mysite.com/includes/mysite-config.com
Personally, I prefer to set the include_path directive directly in the php.ini file, you will be able to do the same on your localhost server, but you'd need to check with your hoster if you get to have your own ini file, or if they are willing to set this variable up in your apache conf file for you.
WOW thanks a bunch guys, I'm much obliged.
Thanks for your solution. I'm sure to play around with this as I drill down on the perfect or at least,least cumbersome implementation. Have you got a link where I can find out what these statementsare doing in particular echo getcwd(); die;. Thanks.
@ralph.m Thanks for the welcome
Yes these are all concerns that have not escaped me. It's one of the first things that came into consideration,well actually when I started running into problems!
I'm running Ubuntu. I've got Apache, MySQL and PHP 5 set up on my local (development) environment.
The root/path for localhost on my machine is: /var/www/
The path to my web project on localhost is: /var/www/mysite.com/
This is a screen grab of the directory structure on my webhost a la' the usual cPanel:
My thinking is that:
/home/username/ on webhost = /var/www/ on localhost.
/home/username/public_html/ on webhost = /var/www/mysite.com/ on localhost.
So now my problem lies in properly defining a directory and path for includes on localhost that will matchthat on my webhost's server which brings me to the points @Cups has raised.
@Cups, thanks for your insights.
The php.ini file in public_html/ has the following path set for includes.
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php"
I presume this structure is what you are referring to -- that is to not place includes in public_html/where it is publicly accessible. I've created a new directory for includes and placed it at the same levelwith this php directory:
If I've understood this correctly, the absolute path for this will be:
/home/username/includes/ which can be mapped to /var/www/includes/ on localhost.
Then what I'd need to do is just change the include path in php.ini to point to this new directory and possiblycopy over some configuration files in the original php directory (if needed) and all would be ready to go and Icould simply sync the include directories when I'm ready to deploy?
I'll play around with this and hopefully get it to work, but I've got a lot of self education ahead I think...
Big ups to all.
Hey man, big props for taking the time to create such a long reply -- and to so many of us. with screen shots and all!
I will let you play with your current config and lets hope you get yourself sorted.
Thanks for your solution. I'm sure to play around with this as I drill down on the perfect or at least, least cumbersome implementation. Have you got a link where I can find out what these statements are doing in particular echo getcwd(); die;. Thanks.
Details of echo, getcwd() and die() functions, etc can be found by searching:
I find that the site is an excellent resource when developing and well worth the effort of becoming familiar with the layout.
As somebody previously mentioned "links are a pain". The getcwd() function returns the path of the file the browser requested. The include function can be either an absolute or relative path. Using the script displays the path then halts execution. Once you know where you are then it us up to you to choose the path of the proposed included file and/or image.

Robert Crosby: How would you describe the late Chuck Colson and his contribution to the church world?Samuel Rodriguez: Chuck Colson stands as an iconic figure. He enriched the Christian community by personifying the power of a redeemed narrative. His personal experience speaks of a man who fell into grace rather than falling from grace.

Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "The Moet & Chandon Brut Champagne Cuvee Dom Perignon 2003, which will be released early next year, displayed rich aromas of honey, brioche and hints of vanilla. Though round and sumptuous, there was bright citrus, peach and a focus on the finish that retained elegance, freshness, finesse and complexity (94 points, non-blind). With air, it became more textural, with a ginger note and a distinctive mineral streak."
The Wine Advocate - "Unfortunately there is only one new release from Dom Perignon this year. The 2003 is one of the most unusual Dom Perignons I have ever tasted, going back to 1952. Readers will remember that 2003 was a torrid vintage across northern Europe, especially during the critical month of August, when temperatures remained very hot for well over a month. The harvest was the earliest on record, until 2011, that is. I suppose its not that surprising Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy chose to make a 2003 Dom Perignon, given his penchant for risk-taking, an approach that has yielded so many memorable wines that stretch the perception of what big brand Champagne is and can be. The 2003 Dom Perignon is a big, broad shouldered wine. It does not have the seductiveness of the 2000, nor the power of the 2002. It is instead very much its own wine. In 2003 Geoffroy elected to use more Pinot Noir than is typically the case, and that comes through in the wine's breath and volume. The 2003 is a big, powerful Champagne that will require quite a bit of time to shed some of its baby fat. The trademark textural finesse is there, though. I expect the 2003 to be a highly divisive Champagne because of its extreme personality, but then again, many of the world's legendary wines were made from vintages considered freakish at the time. The 2003 is an atypically, rich, powerful, vinous Dom Perignon loaded with fruit, structure and personality. It is not for the timid, but rather it is a wine for those who can be patient. No one has a crystal ball, but personally I will not be surprised if in 20 years' time the 2003 is considered an iconic Champagne. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2038.
94+ Points"

"We'll have performers emerging from the water, they'll be in the sky above the folks in the arena and diving into the water, and of course, they'll be a battle between pirates," said Owens of the new show.
The 190-foot Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is currently under construction downtown and the mammoth attraction promises a bird's-eye view of the town and ocean. Scheduled for completion in May, the largest Ferris wheel east of the Mississippi River will offer nightly light shows to add some beauty to the fun. Coast is approximately $12 for an 8-12 min ride
WonderWorks is an "amusement park for the mind," combining education and entertainment in over 100 hands-on exhibits that will spark the imagination and stimulate the mind. Visitors to the attraction will enjoy a variety of experiences including being blown away by 74 mile per hour hurricane-force winds, maneuvering the controls of a NASA spacecraft to land the shuttle, lying on a bed of 3,500 nails, piloting a fighter jet, designing and riding a 360 degree virtual roller coaster, playing virtual sports and competing in a game of lazer-tag.

Supreme Court Justice of South Africa to deliver Walker Institute lecture Sept. 22
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 email@example.com
The Walker Institute will continue its 50th anniversary lecture series this fall with a talk by Justice Richard Goldstone, a former Supreme Court justice of South Africa, on Thursday, Sept. 22, at the University of South Carolina.
Goldstone's talk, titled "The Future of International Criminal Justice: The Crucial Role of the United States," will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Gambrell Hall, Room 153. The event is free and open to the public.
In the early 1990s, when South Africa's government was moving toward a democracy, Goldstone chaired the Goldstone Commission, which investigated violence in South Africa during apartheid. More recently he has chaired commissions prosecuting war crimes in Yugoslavia and Rwanda and led the U.N. Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict.
USC's Walker Institute of International and Area Studies is part of the College of Arts & Sciences. It launched its 50th anniversary lecture series last spring, featuring speakers who included Dr. Peter W. Singer, a renowned political scientist; Lt. Gen. Robert Gard, chairman of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation; and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a retired four-star general in the U.S. Army.
Upcoming lectures in the series this fall include Turkish CNN correspondent Fatih Turkmenoglu, who will speak at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, in Gambrell Hall, Room 153, and American journalist Marvin Kalb, who will speak at 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 24, in Lumpkin auditorium on the eighth floor of the business school.
Goldstone's lecture is offered in part by USC's Rule of Law Collaborative, an interdisciplinary program established in 2009 to promote justice and the rule of law. The collaborative is led by the Walker Institute in cooperation with School of Law.
For more information, call 803-777-8180 or visit the website http://www.cas.sc.edu/iis/index.html.

Was $299.95 NOW $249.95
This is the only robot that removes leaves, small branches, and dirt from gutters autonomously. Made by iRobot, developers of tactical reconnaissance robots for the U.S. military, the robot's advanced sensors detect and adapt to debris, cleaning a 30' gutter section in five minutes. The robot rotates its powerful auger at 500 rpm to break apart clogs, durable twin rubber ejector paddles lift and throw detritus up and out, and twin polypropylene brushes finish the process by wiping the gutter clean—it even reacts to stubborn sections by backing up and trying again. It can also be controlled by a 50'-range handheld remote that allows you to move it forward and backward within a gutter and change the auger's direction of spin. The robot's low profile fits under 2"-high gutter supports while its tank-like, belt-driven treads easily cross downspout openings; waterproof design allows for use in up to 8" of water. Includes a belt clip for transport and a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that provides one hour of operation from a 15-hour charge. Remote requires two AAA batteries. For use in all standard 3"-wide K-style gutters. 15 1/2" L x 3" W x 2" H. (2 3/4 lbs.)

Best Uses
I bought this product to clean out my gutters. I charged the battery overnight but was bummed out the next morning when I realized my gutters were clear. The very next day, my neighbor across the street asked if I had a ladder he could borrow to clean out his gutters, so I told him I might have something better, not being sure yet whether it would work. We were simply amazed when this thing cleaned out his gutters in about 30 minutes. He was planning on spending the entire day on it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Great!

Very well conceived and constructed. Should last for many years. Do not use if branches or ice is in gutter - unit will stop and needs to be manually retreived.

Distance Therapy and Coaching for Depression. Don't let the snow or flu season interfere with your therapy sessions. Inclement weather and less sunlight during winter can increase depression, illness, and lethargy. It brings that "I just want to stay at home and rest" feeling. Many of my clients are now using phone or video sessions for this reason and others. Recently, a client's child was home sick from school, so I told her to grab a cup of coffee or tea and we could have our session over the phone. An increasingly popular method of counseling, distance therapy allows you to have therapy anywhere—from the comfort of your own home or wherever you have access to a phone or computer.

Topic: Fevers
I was wondering if anyone experiences fevers on a consistent basis. My mom has been experiencing fevers on and off for 9 months. We believe it is chemo related, considering she has been on it for 9 months. She was even hospitalized in Oct. for high fevers. They did every test you can imagine and everything came back normal. (Her fevers can range 100.5-103.7) She takes Advil during chemo cycles and tylenol when the fevers really spike. She has also taken cipro. I guess I am just looking to see if anyone else can relate. We really like her doctor, but he too cannot give us a definite answer why this happens to her. It's either chemo related, "tumor fevers", or a mild infection that blood tests can't detect. Every time she gets a fever we are so fearful it is an infection in her stent. We are always anxious to get her blood results back. However, they say her metal stent is usually only good for 7-8 months and she has had hers for almost 9. We pray that it's not her stent this time. The ERCP to place the stent was very painful for her.
FYI..my Mom is 53, was diagnosed stage IV with metastasis to liver and lungs in March 2006. She was on 5-FU, with positive results for about 6 months. Currently, she has had 4 cycles of Cisplatin/Gemzar with 2 very good CT results.

Blame it on the defense.
That's what the shorthanded Phoenix Suns did Wednesday night, when the Utah Jazz pulled away in the fourth quarter to score a 103-88 win at EnergySolutions Arena.
The Suns played without starting center Marcin Gortat and point guard Goran Dragic, who is their leading scorer.
Gortat is sidelined with a sprained foot and Phoenix, which owns the fourth-worst record in the NBA, decided to rest Dragic despite the fact it had not played since Sunday.
Still, the Jazz needed a big finish to defeat the Suns.
Wesley Johnson scored a season-high 22 points and Kendall Marshall handed out a career-high 13 assists as Phoenix pushed Utah but could not beat the Jazz.
"Well, I thought our young guys fought really hard," said coach Lindsey Hunter, who praised Marshall's work.
The Suns' young point guard, who averages 13 minutes a game this season, played 34 against the Jazz. Along with his assists, he finished with seven points, three rebounds and a steal.
"Kendall did a great job of distributing the ball and running the offense," Hunter said. "I think this is the first time playing extended minutes, so I think it got to him a little bit. He got a little tired."
Phoenix had a difficult time stopping Utah, which made its first six shots at the start of a 34-point first quarter.
"... When they went inside," Johnson said, "our rotations were out of whack."
The Jazz eventually finished shooting 51.8 percent for the game.
Said Luis Scola, who scored 15 of his 20 points in the first half, "We were right there and playing well, but we weren't getting stops consistently. That's a problem. ...
"If you don't get stops, especially in a place like Utah, it's going to be really difficult ... because they have a good team."
Thanks to an 8-0 run at the end of the third quarter, Phoenix trailed 75-71 heading into the fourth.
Phoenix had a chance to get closer, too, but Jermaine O'Neal missed an 18-footer on the Suns' opening possession.
The Jazz responded with a 10-0 run and built a 92-73 lead with 7:11 remaining, sending Phoenix to its eighth loss in nine games.
The Suns dropped to 23-49 this season, with 10 games remaining. They fell out of the playoff race long ago.
Hunter insisted, however, that motivation the rest of the way won't be a problem.
"That's my job," he said. "I don't think it's difficult. As a coach, you have to do what the task calls for. If that is to motivate, that's what I will do. ... I have no problems doing whatever it takes to get guys ready to go."
Hunter also made a promise: "We will continue to fight it out until it's over."

SAN BERNARDINO -- An interesting series of events were touched off Saturday afternoon when a vehicle crashed into a power pole sending live power lines onto a house, energizing the pipes and causing the natural gas meter to explode.
Around 3:30 p.m., a man driving in the 200 block of S. Muscott Street crashed into a power pole, knocking over the pole and sending energized power lines over a home, said Sgt. Rich Hale of the San Bernardino Police Department.
The live wires managed to energize the metal pipes in the home, Hale said, which caused the home's gas meter to explode. The explosion then ignited the gas escaping from the broken meter, he said.
Authorities evacuated nearby homes fearing the fire would spread, Hale stated. Officers also shut down the street to allow firefighters and crews to work on the blaze.
"We called (Southern California) Edison and they were on scene fast," Hale said.
Crews cut the electricity to the power lines allowing firefighters to extinguish the blaze.
No one was injured during any portion of the incident, Hale said.
It's unclear what caused the driver to crash into the pole, however the unidentified man was arrested for reasons unrelated to the crash, Hale said.

Any student who has one (1) unsuccessful attempt in any one (1) of the following courses that are taken to qualify for program entry, or its equivalent can no longer continue as a pre-nursing student at Ferris State University:
- BIOL 108 Medical Microbiology
- BIOL 205 Human Anatomy & Physiology
- CHEM 114 Introduction to General Chemistry
- MATH 115 or 117 Intermediate Algebra
A student may have one unsuccessful attempt at one (1) of the above courses. Unsuccessful attempt is defined as enrolling in and completing a course with less than a grade of B-. A grade of "I" (incomplete) grade that is not converted to a B- grade or higher by the end of the next semester is considered an unsuccessful attempt. A grade of "W" (withdrawal) also counts as an unsuccessful attempt.
This same policy applies to transfer students taking equivalent courses at their home schools.
Performance in science courses is directly related to performance in nursing courses. Students who are unsuccessful more than twice in the science courses have historically been unsuccessful in nursing courses.

Kavanagh Calls on State to Extend Public Comment Period on Gas Drilling Process
October 19, 2009
On October 19, 2009, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh formally called upon the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to extend the period during which the agency will accept comments regarding its Draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) on natural gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale formation. In a letter to DEC Commissioner Pete Grannis, Kavanagh reiterated and specified the request he made during Grannis's testimony at the Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation's October 15th hearing on the subject, held in Albany last week. Kavanagh requested that the period be extended an additional 60 days and that the extension be announced promptly, so that the additional time could be used most productively by those preparing comments.

FREEPORT, IL -- Now available from Seaga is the Saeco Atlante, a full-sized hot beverage vender offering up to 32 selections.
Designed for freestanding or banked installation, the Atlante incorporates a number of Saeco developments that have made it very popular in Europe. An important one is "rotating plate" design, which mounts components normally affixed to the cabinet interior on a turntable base, providing fast, easy and tool-free access for service and cleaning.
The Alante system won an Innovation Award at Vending Paris in 2008. It will be on display in the Seaga exhibit (booth No. 607) at the National Automatic Merchandising Association's OneShow in Las Vegas this week.
The numerous drink choices are presented on an LED-illuminated front panel menu display. The Atlante incorporates Saeco's Twin Taste Technology, which enables the machine to produce both "paperless" freshly brewed coffee and authentic espresso.
Seaga, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, offers a single source for vending equipment and accessory solutions in the domestic and international market. Headquartered in northern Illinois, its corporate offices include Seaga UK Ltd. (Wales) and Seaga India Pvt. Ltd. to provide worldwide sales, manufacturing and service capabilities.
In 2011, Seaga became North American master distributor for Saeco coffee vending machines. | SEE STORY

I have a BT5 installed on a netbook. I am trying to share my wireless connection to my ethenert port so that i can connect other devices to my netbook.
I have tried many guides but nothing worked with BT5. I searched the forum but haven't found anything. Any advices?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Then just statically assign an IP from the 192.168.25.0/24 subnet (or whatever you want to use) to the device you'll be plugging into eth0. Never tried this in BT5, but I've used it in BT4 among other linux distros.Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE ifconfig eth0 192.168.25.1/24
If you're feeling adventurous you could even configure a DHCP server for eth0, but I never do.
Also, I've seen in some other threads that the module iptable_nat may need to be loaded. Again I have not yet attempted this with BT5, but BT4 did not require this.
Last edited by iproute; 07-05-2011 at 02:42 PM.
Logically(I didn't tested it), the gateway would be the static IP on the wired NIC in BT5. But you have to use another DNS, not the gateway's IP. You have to put the DNS which the BT5 uses. BT5 can't resolve the names for the connected device if it doesn't have a DNS server installed.
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes
Sorry, I should've specified. Yes, you could set this on the connected device
subnet 255.255.255.0
and for DNS, you could just set 126.96.36.199 on the connected device.
126.96.36.199 is the DNS from google. I don't know if he want to let google know every site he visits. Maybe 184.108.40.206 is better(openDNS)
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes
can it be done wired as well with the 2nd Ethernet port on PC?
i have tried solutions from the internet but they either break my internet connection or return errors in terminal

BFI reassures industry about UK's film tax schemes after Times scandal story
In a letter to the Editor of The Times, the British Film Institute has sought to reassure international producers that the UK Film Tax Credit is both stable and safe.
The BFI has also issued a statement on its own website responding to press reports last month that suggested certain types of film investment schemes were being used for the mitigation of investors' tax liabilities.
"It is vital we distinguish between Government-approved tax reliefs, such as the Film Tax Relief and the Enterprise Investment Scheme on the one hand, and tax schemes which have nothing to do with those statutory reliefs and just happen to use film as a vehicle for minimising the tax contributions of individuals, on the other," BFI Chief Executive Amanda Nevill [pictured] stated.
The BFI is seeking to draw a firm line between the UK Tax Credit and some of the more outlandish film investment schemes that the Times highlighted in its 21st June 'secrets of the tax avoiders story': "Screen play: how movie millions are moved offshore."
BFI sources have confirmed the alarm that the Institute feels over the potential damage that could be done to inward investment in the UK film industry by the ongoing controversy over the tax schemes.
Adrian Wootton, Chief Executive of Film London and the British Film Commission has now issued a statement along similar lines to that of Nevill. "It is vital to underline the fundamental difference between those schemes that fall outside of any specific legislative framework and the UK Film Tax Relief which was specifically established by the Government to help film-makers finance culturally British films, as well as other statutory interventions such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) which are designed to enable investors to reduce risk. The British Government has clearly stated its support of both the UK Film Tax Relief and the Enterprise Investment Scheme, both of which have also received European State Aid approval, and there should be absolutely no concern from international producers on this matter," Wootton commented.
Some observers have pointed out that the same companies whose funds were highlighted by the Times are also heavily involved in the fast burgeoning EIS market for film.
However, the BFI is making it very clear that Film Tax Relief, introduced in 2007, is both fully approved by HMRC and absolutely crucial to the well-being of the UK film industry.
"It is a critical factor in attracting around £1 billion in inward investment into British film per annum, at an estimated annual cost to the Treasury of around £140 million," the BFI's statement asserts. "The tax relief also supports UK film production as a whole, such that the industry annually makes a contribution of £3.3 billion to UK GDP, supports 62,000 jobs and directly contributes over £440 million in tax revenues."
See Screen's earlier reporting on the Times story here.
Readers' comments (1)
Nice touch from the BFI but from a UK filmmakers perspective this is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
Best policy from the BFI right now would be to issue a black list of Companies and People who have operated these schemes. Works for other trades so no reason why it can't work for this one.
The BFI is trying to safeguard the film tax credit and the EIS. Initiatives such as this idea will send out a clear message to other people thinking about abusing these generous government schemes and will highlight positive ones for potential investors.

Serum hemoglobinBlood hemoglobin; Serum hemoglobin
Serum hemoglobin is a blood test that measures the level of free hemoglobin in the liquid part of the blood (the serum). Free hemoglobin is the hemoglobin outside of the red blood cells. Most of the hemoglobin is found inside the red blood cells, not in the serum.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
No preparation is necessary.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
Hemoglobin (Hb) (the main component of red blood cells) is a protein that carries oxygen away from the lungs to the body tissues. This test is done to diagnose or monitor the severity of various kinds of hemolytic anemia -- a low red blood cell count caused by the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells.
Normal Results
- Females 12.3–15.3 g/dL
- Males 14.0–17.5 g/dL
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different samples.
Note: g/dL = grams per deciliter
What Abnormal Results Mean
Elevated levels may indicate:
- Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia
- G6PD deficiency
- Hemoglobin C disease
- Hereditary spherocytosis
- Idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH)
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH)
- Sickle cell anemia
- Thalassemia
- Transfusion reaction
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Chanel Mimosa Le Vernis
Chanel Mimosa Le Vernis
Chanel Summer 2011: Mimosa Le Vernis
Chanel Mimosa Le Vernis ($25.00 for 0.40 fl. oz.) is a bright, sunshine yellow with golden yellow shimmer. It applied fairly well–there was a touch of streakiness in the initial coat, but the pigmentation was excellent, because the color was nearly opaque on that first coat. I used two coats for even, opaque color coverage and found that worked best. The formula was on the thicker side, but it flowed well, and the drying time seemed faster than usual. I typically get a week of wear with Chanel's polish using a base/top coat.

Our Daily Correspondent
The Vestigial ClownBy Sadie Stein
Yesterday, a friend and I entered into a great debate. It started with my question:
"Does the clown exist who could make you laugh?"
He said yes; he thought that clown who does the act with snow off Union Square would make him laugh. (The show is lauded for its masterful clown-craft and its evocation of childlike wonder.)
"Okay," I said, "has a clown ever made you laugh?"
"Of course not," he said.
Does anyone expect to be amused by clowns in this day and age? We all know that clowns are creepy, clowns are scary, clowns are lame—but that understanding has always been predicated on the understanding that, like dolls, clowns are supposed to be happy, fun, innocent. Thus, when a clown goes psychotic, it is doubly terrifying. Or it was thirty years ago, at least. Now, in a world of John Wayne Gacy and It and Insane Clown Posse and Diddy's coulrophobia-driven "no clowns" rider, we expect clowns to be sinister.
Take this recent survey of kids in children's hospitals, a historical clown stronghold:
More than 250 children aged between four and sixteen were asked for their opinions—and every single one said they disliked clowns as part of hospital decor.
Even some of the older children said they found clowns scary, Nursing Standard magazine reported.
The youngsters were questioned by the University of Sheffield for the Space to Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children.
"As adults we make assumptions about what works for children," said Penny Curtis, a senior lecturer in research at the university.
"We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them frightening and unknowable."

Looking for someone or a few guys to surf with between 7-10ish on Mondays and Fridays before class in the Long Branch/Monmouth area this fall and possibly Thursdays from like 12- 2 if anyone is interested. Just looking to catch some waves pre/post class and before work on the weekdays. I know it's a weird schedule, but some pre-drooling on myself lecture sessions would be pretty rad and as nice as surfing alone is it's always good to have someone around to share the waves/pick the unconscious companion up after some heavy 23 foot jersey waves if worst comes to worse.
