Don't be put off trying to quit if you relapse. The key is to learn from what went wrong so you're more likely to succeed next time.
Many people who quit smoking relapse at some point. Don't be put off trying again. The key is to learn from what went wrong so you're more likely to succeed next time.
If you're tempted to start smoking again, call the free NHS Smokefree helpline on 0300 123 1044 to get support from a trained adviser.
When you quit smoking, it's important to be positive and really believe that you'll be successful.
You shouldn't expect to start smoking again. A slip-up should not mean that you will return to smoking the way you did before: it's an opportunity to learn a bit about yourself and what will help you to be more successful in the future.
If you do relapse, don't worry, it can take a few tries to quit smoking for good. It can be helpful to commit yourself to the "not a single drag" rule. Promise to yourself and others that you will not even have a single drag on a cigarette. By sticking to this simple rule you can guarantee that you won't start smoking again.
Why is it that some people who have stopped return to smoking?
The main reason is giving in to cravings. These are powerful urges to smoke, often triggered by stress, seeing other people smoking, getting drunk or emotional events such as arguments.
The best way to withstand cravings is a combination of stop smoking medicines and behavioural changes.
It's also important to stay away from people who smoke. Nearly three quarters of all people who relapse do so because they are with other people who are smoking – and this is usually after having asked one of them for a cigarette.
Get practical advice on how to relieve cravings.
The risk of relapse is highest in the first few weeks after stopping. However, some people can relapse several months, or even years, after stopping smoking.
Avoiding a relapse is best but, if you do give in to temptation, don't despair – really think about what went wrong and plan how you will deal with a similar situation in the future.

If you've relapsed and are back to regular smoking:

A group that really hates Islamic terrorists (as opposed to everyone else in this country) is suing King County Metro for refusing to run a bus ad depicting mug shots of America's 16 most wanted terrorists in world.
The ad form the American Freedom Law Center (self-identified as a Judeo-Christian law firm) is almost identical to a bus ad that the FBI was running on Metro buses this spring before they were pulled under protest that it stigmatized Muslims; nearly all the men shown appear to be from predominantly Muslim regions.
According to AFLC, pulling the ad amounted to America's "incessant desire to appease Islamic terrorist apologists." They tried to run their ad reasoning that "if the government won't identify our enemy, we will make certain our clients can."
However, according to AFLC's lawsuit, the private firm in charge of running Metro's ad program in August said, "No dice."
In an email included in the lawsuit, the firm, Titan Outdoor, cited Metro's policy against ads that are "False and Misleading," "Demeaning or Disparaging," and "Harmful or Disruptive to the Metro Transit System" are cited in rejecting the ad.
Among other things, AFLC claims that rejecting the ad violates its 14 amendment rights, which guarantees citizens equal protection under the law and due process.
Speaking of due process, did you hear about the 16-year-old American citizen our government -- love for Islamic terror aside -- killed in a drone strike in 2010?

US teen stowaway speaks about trip, mom
Jun. 18, 2014
SAN JOSE, California (AP) — A Somali-born teenager who survived a flight to Hawaii as a stowaway in the plane's wheel well said he hopped on the closest flight that was going west in an effort to find his birth mom and can't believe he survived the journey.
Yahya Abdi, 15, spoke over Google Chat to KPIX-5 (http://cbsloc.al/1lCIvg4) in his first public comments since his improbable survival during the 5 1/2-hour flight from San Jose to Maui in April. The interview was reported on Tuesday night.
Yahya, a Somali immigrant, ran away from his California home and hopped a fence at Mineta San Jose International Airport. He crouched down in the wheel well of the Hawaiian Airlines flight and remembers covering his ears as the plane took off, he said.
"It was above the clouds, I could see through the little holes," Yahya said.
Yahya survived the flight at 35,000 feet despite low oxygen and freezing temperatures. Video footage from the Maui airport shows him dropping to the tarmac about an hour after the jet landed.
The teen said he made the decision to get on board the plane because he didn't want to live with his stepmom and wanted to find his mother, who he hasn't seen since he was seven years old. She lives in Africa.
Yahya spoke to her on the phone on Tuesday.
"I would tell her to live with me in America," he said.
His mom, Ubah Mohammed Abdule, confirmed the conversation to The Associated Press.
"He says, 'Mom, you are not dead for sure?'" Abdule told the AP. "'I thought you died in a boat trip. This is incredible news!' Then he became silent for a moment. Then he cried."
Yahya is staying at a temporary foster home. He will be a junior in high school this fall and plans to live with his aunt in the Minneapolis area, KPIX-5 reported.
Yahya has been spending his days doing normal teenage things. "I've been going to the movie theater and playing video games," he said.
Earlier this year, police said they were investigating possible criminal charges against the boy for climbing the airport fence, and that the teen was being cared for by child protective services.
The Santa Clara County Office of the Public Defender confirms it has been appointed to "advise and assist" the boy but could not explain in what capacity due to juvenile privacy rules.

About KidsOutAndAbout.com
Welcome to KidsOutAndAbout.com
KidsOutAndAbout.com is America's online network of local web sites that show parents the wealth of opportunities available for kids and families in local areas.
KidsOutAndAbout is not a blog (though we do have a great free weekly e-newsletter that provides scintillating wit and penetrating insight in addition to lists of things to do, and we do have a section for our weekly publisher's notes), we are not exactly a community calendar (we have too much event information to fit in a calendar program), and we are not one of those flashy commercial sites that are trying to push their advertisers in front of your nose. We do accept advertising to make a living, of course, but we do so in a way that enhances your reading experience rather than detracts from it, and we only accept advertising from those who provide valuable resources for parents. (You'll never see one of those hideous "local mom discovers teeth whitening secret!" ads on our site!)
In early 2001, when Madison was one-and-a-half and I was just about to have Ella, I (Debra Ross, founder and publisher) realized how helpful it would be if there were some web site that gathered all of this information in one place. So on my maternity leave, I created the Rochester site of KidsOutAndAbout.com, with the help of several great programmers, a graphic designer, and a terrific nanny who helped me gather information.
Over the course of time, as word about the site spread, others in the greater Rochester community began to donate articles, information, resources, and suggestions. In 2010, we started launching outside of Rochester, and our sites now reach to Albany, Buffalo, Fairfield County, CT, Hartford, Hudson Valley, Westchester, Salt Lake City, Houston, Ann Arbor - Detroit, Saint Louis, Nashville, Austin, and San Antonio.
How does KidsOutAndAbout work?
KidsOutAndAbout.com: What's happening for families where you live from Debra Ross, KidsOutAndAbout.com on Vimeo.

We have three exclusive calendars: Events, classes, and summer camps, and it is absolutely FREE to post as many activities as an organization can, to any of these calendars. (Click here for more information about how to get a login, add an organization, and add activities.)
Parents can check out our local calendar located at the top of any KidsOutAndAbout.com page. In the seasonal boxes on the top left, they can find the most popular things to do that time of year. They can peruse our resources linked on the left, or search for any subject in our search box at the tope. They can (and should!) sign up for our free weekly newsletter in the upper right-hand section.
Each site has a local editor whose job it is to help organizations learn about how to post and be visible on our site. That local editor also compiles a weekly newsletter so that parents, grandparents, and caregivers in the area can learn what is going on "out and about" for their kids and families.

Thrift store showcases stylish 'wear'
A fall style show planned for Sunday is to spotlight the largest thrift store in West Central Ohio — Mercy Unlimited — located right here in Wapakoneta.
Doors open to the public at 3:45 p.m. Sunday at Mercy Unlimited, located at 38 E. Auglaize St. The style show is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m.
The event is to feature a master of ceremonies and 50 models wearing fashions, which can be found at the thrift store. All shapes, sizes and ages are expected to strut their stuff down the runway, which is to extend the length of the store.
Models include local business people, the executive director of the Auglaize County United Way and his family, Wapakoneta High School cheerleaders, and Jenny from Cross Training on Channel 44. Models all received vouchers to select items from the store that they wanted to model.
Everyone is welcome and admission is free. Refreshments are to be served and a huge sale is expected at the store afterward.
"Mercy Unlimited has clothing and accessories for the whole family," said Theresa Presutti, who is in charge of client services at the thrift store. "Whether you need an entire outfit or an accent piece — a tie, designer purse, a pair of boots or shoes — we have the items you need. We also have costume and fine jewelry, vintage collectibles and antiques.
She said the style show is to make people aware of the quality of items that can be purchased for less at the thrift store and the ministry able to be provided to residents of Eastern Auglaize County through funds raised by those purchases.
"We really believe in the mission and the ministry of Mercy Unlimited and we believe it does not take a fortune to look like a million," Presutti said.
Clothing and other items sold at the store are received through donations, with many of the items still having the original store tags on them.
The store is organized in a manner that makes it easy to shop and features a business section for office attire.
"Our community knows that we feed and clothe families, so they feel good about donating items to us," Presutti said.
Mercy Unlimited staff also write vouchers for families in need of housewares or furniture and a large number of back-to-school clothing vouchers were distributed this year. The ministry also assists area residents financially, with prescriptions, utilities and housing, whatever financial needs may be, Mercy tries to meet them.
"We have seen an increase in families needing help and families shopping at the store since the economy slowed down," Presutti said.

Berlin is the capital city of Germany and one of the 16 states of Germany. With a population of 3.4 million people, Berlin is Germany's largest city and is the second most populous city proper and the seventh most populous urban area in the European Union. Located in northeastern Germany on the River w:Spree, it is the center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has about 4½ million residents from over 180 nations.
First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–33) and the Third Reich (1933–45). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city, along with the German state, was divided - into East Berlin — capital of the German Democratic Republic, colloquially identified in English as East Germany — and West Berlin, a political exclave (surrounded by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989) and a de facto (although not de jure) state of the Federal Republic of Germany, known colloquially in English as West Germany from 1949 to 1990. Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany.

Settling Scores
Before the deluge of the second Intifada, when Israelis and Palestinians were still trying to talk through their differences, they faced three large problems:
1) The future of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, which is tantamount to the future of the borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state;
2) The future of the Palestinian refugees, namely what the Palestinians regard as the right of the refugees to "return" and settle inside Israel;
3) The issue of sovereignty over Jerusalem, and in particular sovereignty over the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif).
Many Israelis believed that it was necessary to resolve each of these issues and that if they could be resolved together an agreement could be reached with the Palestinians. If they were to reach such an agreement, the Israelis would also have to accept a Palestinian state and arrive at security arrangements with the Palestinians.
However, the second Intifada has made many Israelis lose faith that there is a Palestinian partner with whom these issues can be negotiated. Even if all three issues are resolved, many doubt the conflict will come to an end. For they now believe that an end to the conflict is precisely what the Palestinians cannot accept: the Palestinian grievance is inconsolable.
Among the three issues, the Israelis find that of the refugees the most threatening. For the Palestinians the basic demand for the refugees' right of return as well as the issue of the Haram al-Sharif remain unchanged. True, the refugees of 1948 who could still literally return are relatively few and relatively old, but this, in the eyes of the Palestinians, does not diminish their rights or those of their families. The same could be said about the Haram al-Sharif: the sanctuary stands as a rock in a sea of constant changes.
The issue of Jewish settlements is different. It is a dynamic problem that keeps changing as the number of settlers and settlements increases and as the locations of the settlements change. What the Palestinians find most worrying is the increase of over 50 percent in the number of housing units as well as in the settler population since the Oslo agreements of September 1993. In September 1993 there were 33,000 family housing units in the settlements. By July 2000, 19,000 units were added (3,000 of them under Barak). At the end of 1993 there were, according to Israeli statistics, some 116,000 settlers in the West Bank and Gaza. In view of the yearly population growth of 8 percent (natural increase and newcomers combined), we can assume that there were about 200,000 settlers at the beginning of the second Intifada in late September 2000, including 6,500 of them in the Gaza Strip. There are altogether 145 official settlements and another fifty "unofficial" ones. The length of the roads that were built for the settlements, and that are used only by the settlers, increased by 160 kilometers between 1997 and…

I first met the fine folks from "Me to We" while making a coffee run last year at the Phoenix Civic Plaza. I was attending the Arizona thespian festival, but happened on another conference while stepping out to Starbucks for a spell. It was sponsored by the Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence, and they graciously let me take a spin through their exhibit area so I could connect with various purveyors of parenting-related fare.
While there, I encountered plenty of familiar faces, including folks from Workshops for Youth and Families and Arizona Dance Coalition. But also several resources I'd yet to encounter during my 20+ years of parenting — including "Me to We," which describes itself as is "an innovative social enterprise that provides people with better choices for a better world." I was intrigued because my kids have long been champions of social justice and volunteering.
I spied a book while there that I never got around to ordering, but spotted once again at this year's Raising Arizona Kids Magazine Camp Fair. It's "The World Needs Your Kid: Raising Children Who Care and Contribute" by Craig Kielburger, Marc Kielburger (founders of Free the Children) and Shelley Page (writer and mother of two children from China) — and they were kind enough to send me home with a copy to share with my kiddos, all in college and eager to change the world.
The book opens with a foreward by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and an introduction covering "the three Cs" — compassion, courage and community. The book has 16 chapters organized around these three themes, with headings like "Find Your Passion," "Curing the Gimmes" and "Learning Through Service." Also "First Person" accounts from folks like Jane Fonda, Mia Farrow, Jane Goodall, Ellie Wiesel, Steve Nash, Jason Mraz, Desmond Tutu and Robert Kennedy, Jr.
I've read lots of books for youth about "being the change you wish to see in the world" (a phrase attributed to India's Ghandi), and this is clearly among the best. It's interesting and engaging, practical and inspirational. "The World Needs Your Kid" is an empowering read for children, teens and adults. There's oodles of information conveyed in small snippets, and gorgeous photography throughout. Think quotes, tips for taking small actions every day, stories of ordinary people lifting others' lives and more. Even a section near the back titled "100 Tips to Raise Global Citizens."
Turns out "Me to We" also offers a variety of summer programs based at the Windsong Peace & Leadership Center — their 40-acre ranch in Patagonia, Arizona. Those noted on their RAK Camp Fair handout include a "Take Action Academy" (ages nine-19) June 24-30 and "Me to We Arizona Trip" (ages 12+) July 1-14. Also "Me to We Advanced Facilitation Training" (ages 16+ with extensive leadership experience) July 16-24 or Aug 21-29 and a "Me to We Arizona-Mexico Trip" (ages 12+) Aug 5-18.
While exploring both "Me to We" exhibits, I spied several fun trinkets my kids would love. Turns out you can explore the works of several artisans affiliated with "Me to We" online — so keep them in mind when shopping for birthdays, holidays, everyday lunchbox surprises and such. Seems you can even shop for social change these days.

BOSTON -- The race for Governor has been getting all of the attention this election season, but next week, Massachusetts voters will also choose the new auditor – the state's fiscal watchdog whose job includes rooting out fraud in government programs like Medicaid, housing and welfare.
The Democratic candidate for auditor is Suzanne Bump, who recently stepped down as Gov. Deval Patrick's Secretary of Labor in order to run for the post.
Her Republican challenger is Mary Connaughton, who has been a board member of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and the chief financial officer of the state lottery. Connaughton is the only certified public accountant in the race, and she said in a recent debate on NECN that that makes her uniquely qualified for the job.
"I'm an experienced auditor. I was a CPA. I taught accounting. I know my stuff," Connaughton said. "Seriously, you need to be an attorney to be the attorney general. Shouldn't you be an auditor to be the state auditor?"
But Democrat Suzanne Bump said that CPA credentials weren't necessary. She said her experience as a manager and leader trained her to wring savings from government.
"If you look at my record, it is of getting better results in state government," Bump said. "As a legislator and as a cabinet secretary, I took agencies apart to figure out how it is that they had gone off track and what we needed to do to get them back on track."
Whoever wins the race will succeed longtime auditor Joe Denucci – who is retiring from office after 24 years. Before becoming auditor, Denucci was a middle-weight boxing champ – so perhaps it's appropriate that the race to succeed him is turning into a slugfest.
At a press conference on Monday, Bump criticized her opponent's tenure as CFO of the Lottery in the 1990s. The Boston Globe highlighted a 1997 audit of the lottery that accused officials of poor accounting practices, violating the law and costing the state $1.6 million dollars in lost revenue.
"The state auditor said that Mary Connaughton's tenure was characterized by questionable transactions, waste, abuse, legerdemain and mismanagement. Mary Connaughton is an example of why people lose faith in their government," Bump said. "She repeatedly acted in flagrant disregard of the public interest. She refused then and refuses now to take any responsibility for it."
Connaughton said that the abuses at the lottery started before she arrived and that she took steps to end them. On her Facebook page, Connaughton wrote, "I stand by my record as CFO of the Lottery, despite today's, well, Bump in the road!"
Bump is also taking heat on the campaign trail for claiming two property tax exemptions, by saying that both her home in Great Barrington and her condo in South Boston were primary residences. Conservative talk radio is buzzing with accusations that a candidate for auditor cheated on her taxes. But Bump insists that she didn't break the law, and has repaid the city of Boston close to $6,000.

Mini-PROTEAN® TGX Stain-Free™ Precast Gels are based on the long-shelf-life TGX (Tris-Glycine eXtended) formulation and include unique trihalo compounds that allow rapid fluorescent detection of proteins with Bio-Rad stain-free imaging systems.
Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free Precast Gels do not contain SDS. For standard denaturing electrophoresis use sample and running buffers containing SDS. To retain native protein conformation and activity these gels can be run with sample and running buffer that do not contain SDS.
Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free Gels retain Laemmli-like separation characteristics using standard sample and Tris/glycine running buffers. Protein migration patterns under non-denaturing conditions do not provide accurate molecular weight estimations.
The trihalo compounds in Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free Gels react with tryptophan residues in proteins in a UV-induced 1-minute reaction to produce fluorescence. The fluorophores remain covalently bound to the proteins throughout electrophoresis and blotting and may be subsequently visualized in gels or on PVDF membranes multiple times for validation in a western blotting workflow. The use of stain-free imaging also allows for the normalization of bands to the total protein on a blot, eliminating the use of housekeeping proteins or stripping and reprobing.

Clean-up, Aisle 101: Truck carrying 7,500 lbs of slime eels overturns on highway
A truck carrying slime eels overturned on Highway 101 Thursday, covering the roadway in slime.
Troopers say a Lincoln City man traveling northbound on Highway 101 carrying 7,500 pounds of slime eels failed to stop his truck when an Oregon Department of Transportation worker advised him to do so.
The transfer of the weight caused one of the containers to come off the truck, flying across the highway into the southbound lanes. The rest fell and spilled into the highway.
The flying containers of eel caused a chain-reaction crash, pushing four cars into each other. Only the people in the first car that was struck were injured, but they're expected to be OK.
A pair of tourists from Norway were also involved. Highway 101 was cleared and opened back up to traffic just before 4 p.m.
Officials say slime eels, or hagfish, secrete slime, which can be seen in the video below:

Nicki Minaj risked arrest during a recent promotional trip to the United Arab Emirates after almost flouting Islamic law by attempting to hug a male fan at an airport in Dubai.
The Starships hitmaker was in the departures area at a private airport in the city as she prepared to return home when she reached out to show some love to a "cute" devotee - only to discover he was a plainclothes police officer.
He shunned her advances and backed away from Minaj, and the close call caused a stir among onlookers as any physical contact or public display of affection between a male and an unmarried female is forbidden in the conservative country.
She explains, "I almost got in so much trouble because the guys in Dubai are so cute, it's not even funny. It's one of the rules there, you can't hug a man if you're not married to the man and so when we were leaving, there was this one guy who was so frigging (extremely) cute I was just like, (wanting to hug him) bye 'cause I just wanted this one last moment, just to savour the moment with him... But literally I didn't know that he was a cop! They don't have a police uniform... It was at a private airport so they were just dressed in their regular garments.
"I went to give him a hug and... literally I felt like time stopped in Dubai. I felt like everything froze and every single person turned around in slow motion and was just like, 'Noooooo!' and everyone in my team thought I was gonna be put in jail! It was the scariest thing but he kind of put his arms up a little bit and cracked this nervous smile, and I was like, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry!' and then I just left."

AICPA Suggestion on Gift Card Income Wins IRS Approval
September 5, 2013
New guidance by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the deferral of income from gift card sales conforms to a suggestion made by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) in a July 18, 2012 letter.
In its letter, the AICPA pointed out that despite the intention of the IRS and the Department of the Treasury to make the deferral income method available to all entities, the 2011 guidance precluded a taxpayer from using the deferral income method if the gift cards service agreement was with a financially unrelated party.
The new IRS guidance, issued on July 24, 2013 in Rev. Proc. 2013-29, modifies Rev. Proc. 2011-18 and provides clarification for taxpayers who sell gift cards. Under the new rules, taxpayers will be allowed to defer recognition of income from the sale of gift cards redeemed by an unrelated third party until the year after the payment is received.
The AICPA was the only organization to raise the issue with the IRS and the Department of the Treasury.
For more information about the new IRS guidance, read the July 24, 2013 Journal of Accountancy article and see the AICPA information page on Rev. Proc. 2013-29.

There are numerous locale files, organized by function. The major places to find these are:
- locale/ - Contains the application-specific locale files
- lib/pkp/locale/ - Contains the generic PKP library locale files
- plugins/*/*/locale/ - Contains application-specific plugin content
- lib/pkp/plugins/*/*/locale/ - Contains generic plugin content
Segmentation of content into numerous files serves several purposes:
- /Maintainability/: Smaller files, organized roughly by topic, are easier to maintain. A language can be more easily distributed between several translators without requiring merges.
- /Reuse/: Any content that is available in the PKP library can be used by any application that needs it. One translation update for OJS therefore may result in useful contributions to OCS or OMP.
- /Portability/: Content that is associated with plugins can be packaged easily for distribution.
- /Efficiency/: This remains to be proven, but it should be possible to reap some performance and resource usage benefits by only loading a subset of the localized content. Most requests, for example, are for public-facing pages; most of the translated content, however, addresses workflow.
Where should content go?
- If content relates only to a single plugin, it needs to be distributed with that plugin.
- If content is not specific to a single application, put it in the PKP library.
- Try to group by logical entity. For example, a locale file called "submission.xml" dealing with content about submissions is probably more useful a distinction than a locale file called "author.xml" dealing with authorship and author workflow, because any page displaying information about a submission will likely include authorship information but will not necessarily care about the author's workflow.
- Consider which parts of the system will need to load a locale key. If logically well-structured, it shouldn't be necessary to load an entire locale file for the sake of a single locale key.
How should I name a locale key?
- A locale key should be reasonably short and must uniquely identify a piece of text.
- Locale keys should be organized for hierarchical grouping, i.e. "submission.id", "submission.history.clearLog", "submission.history.viewLog" are all within the "submission" pseudo-namespace, and with history-related locale keys further subgrouped into "submission.history".
- As much as possible, related keys should be kept close to each other in the locale file to help translators to stay consistent.
- Don't tie the names of locale keys too closely to the user interface. For example, the following should /not/ be used:
<message key="manager.setup.step1.journalDescription">Journal Description</message>
...instead, use something more like...
<message key="manager.setup.journalDescription">Journal Description</message>
This keeps the locale files organized in spite of the inevitable user interface rearrangements.
- When adding a new locale key, particularly for short (1 or 2 word) entries, grep the existing locale files to see whether something already exists:
fgrep -l ">Title<" `find . -name \*.xml`
(The > and < surrounding Title are used to mark the beginning and end of the entry.)
Do not assume that you can rely on English semantics. Contents may be presented in languages that do not behave the same way.
- Use replacement variables rather than multiple locale keys to concatenate. The following should /not/ be used:
<message key="some.locale.key1">You have </message> <message key="some.locale.key2"> unread messages.</message>
Instead, the following should be used:
<message key="some.locale.key">You have {$numberUnreadMessages} unread messages.</message>
This will prevent problems e.g. with right-to-left languages, and keep content more logically organized.
- Be careful when using the same locale key in different contexts. For example, "active" text, i.e. button labels, may be different than informational labels.
Escaping and Other Guidelines
- Most content in the locale files is intended for presentation on the web and is in HTML format. For the most part, HTML is plain-text, but there are occasional differences. Ampersands will generally need to be double-escaped, i.e.:
Statistics & Reports
This will come out in the HTML source as "Statistics & Reports", thus the ampersand will be displayed correctly.
- For large blocks of HTML, use <![CDATA[ ... ]]>. For example:
This is a large block of content containing HTML.]]></message>

Phil Wood Track Cog - 1/8 inch - 12 Tooth
Product Description
Phil's track cogs are made from triple heat-treated, carefully selected Stainless Steel. Phil's triple heat treating is an important part of the process of bringing you the ultimate track cog. The first heat treatment brings the the metal into a known, workable state and provides verification that the material meets the high standards that Phil Wood demands. The second phase is done after machining and stabilizes the freshly machined cog. Then the final heat treating process hardens the cog teeth.
Phil Wood meticulously selects only aircraft grade material for their track cogs. Very few grades of Stainless Steel qualify to become a Phil Wood cog. The material is so good that it's the same grade of metal used in the landing gear of jumbo jets.
Phil Wood's commitment to the best materials, precision machining, and their extensive heat treating process provides you with a world class track cog that's strong, long lasting, corrosion resistant, and a component you'll be proud to have on your bike.
Phil Wood recommends using their track cogs with their track hubs, as they are machined to work together seamlessly. Other track cogs on the market often have varied widths, sometimes resulting in a cog that is too wide for the threads on the track hubs which can lead to less than complete engagement of the lock ring and thread stripping from the hub.
American made in USA (U.S.A.)

Late last month, the Box Elder High community was shocked after two teenagers were killed in a dirt bike crash and a third was sent to a hospital.
On Wednesday, Jan. 10, the Bear River High community showed its support to the families of the boys. Fans at Wednesday night's wrestling matchup between Bear River and Box Elder raised $945 in a fundraiser during the match, donating it to the families of the three teenagers involved in the crash, BRHS principal Kristi Capener said.
Wyatt Ellertson, 15, and Caden Ellertson, 14, were killed in the crash that also sent a 16-year-old to the hospital.
> Box Elder police identify teen boys killed in Sunday motorcycle crash
Capener said the fundraiser in Garland was the idea of a Bear River wrestling coach. The coach took the idea to the wrestling team, which supported it. Capener added the Mountain Crest High community previously donated money to Bear River for a Make-A-Wish fundraiser last month.
Student government members from both schools spoke at the event and went around the stands collecting donations or money for a fleece blanket raffle. Bear River athletic director Van Park praised both sets of students and the fans for participating in the fundraiser.
"It shows that kids can come together and schools can come together and there's a lot of good people out there. They realize it's not a sporting event that's most important," Park said.
Jesse Roberts, the student government advisor and a teacher at Box Elder High, was complimentary of the Bear River community for putting on the fundraiser after the tragic event.
"It was their idea to do something for students of an opposing rival school, so it shows you their character," Roberts said.

Reviewing the Pythagorean Theorem
Lesson 6 of 6
Objective: SWBAT apply the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse to find the length of a side of a right triangle or to determine whether or not a triangle is right. Students will understand the meaning of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse in terms of the areas of squares constructed on the sides of a triangle.
Lesson Open
The warm-up prompt for this lesson asks students to make a conjecture about the relationship between the areas of shapes drawn on the sides of a right triangle. Students may posit that the areas are in the same relationship as the areas of squares drawn on the sides of a right triangle, even though the shapes are not squares. (The shapes are similar, however, in proportion to the sides of the right triangle, so the combined area of the shapes constructed on the legs is, in fact, equal to the area of the shape drawn on the hypotenuse.) The purpose of this rather whimsical problem is to get students to think about the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of area.
The lesson open follows our Team Warm-up routine. I choose students at random to write the team's answer on the board.
I display the agenda and learning targets for the lesson. Today, we will review homework and summarize the Pythagorean Theorem.
Resources (5)
Homework Review
We use the Team Homework Review variation of our review of Area Relationships Homework Set 1.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Using Guided Notes we summarize the Pythagorean Theorem, its converse, and the Hypotenuse-Leg Congruence Theorem, which students proved for homework. Follow the link to my Strategies folder to see how I use guided notes to teach.
If there is time, I tell a very bad joke, with the punch line, "The right angel is across from the hippopotamus, with a leg on either side." To help students remember the vocabulary.
Resources (3)
If there is still time, I use the problem sets in the slide show for extra practice. I ask students to get individual White Boards, rags, and dry erase markers. I display the problems using the slide show, and students practice using the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
Each slide has two problems, which are more or less parallel. Students may choose to work either one. Students who are working quickly should work both, while I help those who need it.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
The lesson close follows our Individual Size-Up Routine routine. The prompt asks students to explain why the Pythagorean Theorem is about area.
For homework, I assign problems #1-3 of Homework Set 2 for this unit. Problem #1 gives students a chance to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve a real-world problem. Problems #2-3 ask students to review transformations, which they will use in the next lesson to compare and relate the areas of two shapes.

Acid has long been considered a safe, healthy, happy, spiritually freeing drug --at least by me in the late 1980s. But even then, as a mere sprat, I was conscientious and careful, ever aware of the mind-bending, never-ending roller coaster of terror that results from taking even a quarter-tab too much. This is not to mention the left-out feeling of boredom and missed opportunity that results from taking too little, which can lead to taking more before the first ones have kicked all the way in, bringing you from an enervating semi-glow to a terrifying descent in a flash.
A very, very powerful substance is our friend LSD: one drop can set your soul free to caper through inter-dimensional levels beyond time and space; two can make you god-like. Five drops and you better get sloppy drunk... fast --or, if no one can spare a Valium, you can always chug some Nyquil before the demons get you.
Imagine then, the danger, when sending someone to heaven or hell all depends on the whims of an unscrupulous doser! The difference between 1-3 or 4-6 drops from a dropper, dispensed at a crowded beatnik bar, when the person with the dropper is drunk, malicious, and mad at you for stealing his girl and knocking over his bong! He could send you to the psych ward just by squeezing a hair harder than usual.
|Chakris advises his ant client on proper dosage
Still, even the face-clawing demons can be 'an experience.' The equivalent of cutting or anorexia in my crowd, was, I remember, taking like half a sheet of blotter in a last ditch effort to break through the veil before the depression made you do something even more desperate (this being long before Prozac's popularity). Most who did this wound up hospitalized. Not me, though! I ended up watching Nightline on a goddamned crappy TV all night, no other channel tune-innable (we didn't have cable), trapped in a black and white nightmare hell.. oh god, I can't even think about it. Save me, Pamela Rogers!
|Pamela Rogers (left) almost saves Lisa from being a stone drag
At the same time, spiking anyone's drink with it (or anything else) without their consent should be a crime in and of itself. However, in small doses, taken intentionally, with a consensual partner, it can be rather liberating. A half a pill makes for a dynamite Halloween party; a whole pill, however, makes it suddenly three days later, and you check your phone - there's 30 angry messages from your boss.
All of which is a preface to the candy-colored opus of bargain basement glitz and 'now generation' posing known as THE BIG CUBE. An underrated camp classic from '69, year of Manson, and starring Lana Turner as a former Broadway star living the high life in a Mexico-L.A. hybrid with her new wealthy industrialist husband (Dan O'Herlihy) and his sheltered 'pure' stepdaughter Lisa (Karin Mossberg), who dresses like she's still 12 and heading to her first church social.
Lisa reacts not well to the new step-mom, and in a passive-aggressive moment of naivete even takes up with a smooth-talking med student played by George 'you came with your mouth / open' Chakris and his gang of former lovers, hairy clowns, and hipster pallies, including Bibi (Pamela Rogers). The blog by Captive Wild Woman (from whom I cribbed many of these screenshots) loves Pamela Rogers in this film, and I totally dig she digs it:
Saving it all from becoming a big snore-fest is Pamela Rodgers as Bibi... I could never convey the fantastic bubble-brained delivery she strives to deliver so expertly. I LOVE all scenes featuring Bibi and only wish the entire movie revolved around her. (more)Alas, Bibi is only on the periphery, as the story has places to go, and people to drive crazy. Chakris' med student status apparently means he has unlimited access to commercial grade LSD and, since he uses it for evil, he's a dangerous mix of Manson and a SHAMPOO-style gigolo. LSD wasn't even officially illegal until around '68 and was used all over for psychiatric treatments (with great effect, making its banning the true crime), so at the time of the film it was no harder to get than, say, 4-Loco. And when the dad conveniently dies in an off-camera yachting accident the stage is set for the unscrupulous doser and Lisa to drive the already shaken Lana over the edge via a massive LSD infusion into her bedside Valium bottle.
An interesting comparison can be made between this film and the AIP title ANGEL, ANGEL DOWN WE GO! (1968), which also concerns a sheltered heiress getting too involved with the now generation and letting a charismatic young cult leader type convince her to arrange the death of her rich parents (Jennifer Jones fills the fading trophy / absentee mom role in ANGEL) and let his gang move into her mansion. ANGEL kind of loses momentum by the time it decides to critique materialism; CUBE ends up going the self-reflexive meta-epiphany Freud route (the only way to 'cure' Lana of her "strange affliction" is to write a play about her boating accident so she can make peace with her drowned husband).
The moments with Lana on acid are freaky enough, but the really scary moment is when Chakris spikes the drink of a guy he's annoyed with at the club--a big brawling bearded guy--who freaks out, starts tearing up the joint and is thrown out on the street raving like a foam-mouthed, face-clawing lunatic. As someone whose been there I had a lot of sympathy for this clown, though he was awfully annoying he didn't deserve that. No one does. If you've been there, good lord, you know what I mean. As I said earlier, taking the right dosage can be like being lifted up the ladder of your own evolution, while too much is like having the ladder shoved down your throat while Hell's full roster of demons climb up from it and peel your skin off and every kid who ever hurt you in grade school materializes like accusatory ghosts to laugh at your extreme skinless nakedness.
Acid in CUBE is, unfortunately, employed almost purely as a weapon, but like firearms maybe these drugs are too dangerous to be left to criminals. Legal, it could be diluted to the point where overdose would prove a difficult task. In the twilight world of schedule-one substances, however, it's a risk in the best of times. So... know your dealer, stay away from sleazy gigolo med students, and err on the side of prudence til your batch's strength is tested. Or you could just say no, but don't you want to see what Hell looks like before, you know... you move in?

Even If Samsung And Apple Copied Every Last Detail From Each Other, Who Cares?
from the important-question dept
He then takes the lessons of that book and applies it to the Apple/Samsung fight, noting that even if we assume they were imitating each other, that seems to have only encouraged further innovation, not less:
It's the same story we've been explaining for years. History and tons of studies have shown over and over and over again that competition drives innovation, because innovation is an ongoing process. Thus, when others can copy you, that actually accelerates innovation by giving the original incentives to stay ahead in the marketplace, and develop the next great thing. Research has also shown that it's not as easy as you think to "just copy" because you only see the superficial aspects to copy, rather than having the deeper understanding of what works and what doesn't that a market leader often gains.
If you go back to the mid-1990s, there was their famous "look and feel" lawsuit against Microsoft. Apple's case there was eerily similar to the one they're running today: "we innovated in creating the graphical user interface; Microsoft copied us; if our competitors simply copy us, it's impossible for us to keep innovating." Apple ended up losing the case.
But it's what happened next that's really fascinating.
Apple didn't stop innovating at all. Instead: they came out with the iMac. Then OS X ("Redmond, start your photocopiers"). Then the iPod. Then the iPhone. And now, most recently, the iPad. Given the underlying reason that Apple has been bringing these cases to court was to enable them to continue to innovate, it's hard not to ask: if copying stops innovation, why didn't Apple stop innovating last time they were copied? Being copied didn't stop or slow their ability to innovate at all. If anything, it only seemed to accelerate it. Apple wasn't able to rest on its laurels; to return to profitability, and to take the mantle they hold today of one of the technology industry's largest companies, they had to innovate as fast as they could.
In fact, when you understand that, you realize that patents can actually slow down innovation by letting a company rest on its laurels, and not have to continue to rapidly innovate. Other companies can't build on what they did first, and so they don't have the same incentives to continue to advance the market forward. And the Apple/Samsung fight in the market appears to support that.
If Apple ends up winning this case against Samsung — and either stops Samsung from releasing their phones and tablets to the market, or charges them a hefty license fee to do so — does anyone really believe that the market will suddenly become more innovative, or that devices will suddenly become more affordable? Similarly, if Samsung wins, do you really believe that Apple will suddenly slow its aggressive development of the iPhone and iPad? It's certainly not what happened last time they lost one of these cases.Exactly.
Now, if you're with me so far, then I don't think it's a leap to suggest that having these companies duke it out in court over "who might have copied who" is counterproductive. All these lawsuits flying around suggest that everyone is already copying each other, anyway. A better solution? Let's have these companies solely focused on duking it out in the marketplace — where consumers, not courtrooms, make the decisions about innovation. In such a world, the best defense against copying isn't lawsuits, but rather, to innovate at such a rate that your competition can't copy you fast enough. That, to me, sounds like an ideal situation not just for consumers — but for the real innovators, too.

(v.) To drive across a parking lot by cutting through the parking spaces instead of staying within the designated driving lanes. This is considered illegal in many states, as it can endanger the well-being of those within the parking lot. Also cross-lotter (n.), someone who cross-lots. These terms are typically used while yelling at other drivers in a parking lot in a fit of road rage.
