Stephen Colbert described Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) much-criticized budget as following the guidelines of Christianity in the Republican way.
Colbert was fully behind the congressman, whose budget would keep tax cuts for America's wealthiest citizens while inducing painful cuts for the country's middle class and poor. And Colbert defended Ryan from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops criticism of his budget.
"Sadly Catholicism is full of these people who think they have a monopoly on interpreting the social teachings, they're called bishops." Colbert said. "So forget all of this talk about Paul Ryan being vice president. I say we make him vice pope."

Sometimes more of that same is better than the change on the table. I don't want more of the same, but the change Obama represents is even worse. The rest of the world is welcome to socialism, but I don't want to see it here.

No, they give away Nobel prizes for supporting the interests of those who give the prizes. I mean, seriously, what did Gore do to win that? Make a movie full of bad science? Drum up billions of dollars for GW thieves? If your definition of brilliant is scamming billions of dollars, then I guess he's brilliant. And take a look at some of the other "winners." Gore's not the only one who is less than worthy.
Newsflash...Did I say in there anywhere that I was for the Republicans? No...I was giving an honest analysis. To an outsider, the last few Democratic candidates have been a joke. A scam artist who campaigns for GW even though he doesn't even apparently have a shred of understanding about the subject, judging from his movie. I'm not really sure what to call Kerry; as I said, all he ever did was try to look presidential and be "the other guy." And then Obama...whom I already stated the drawbacks of.
Another newsflash for you: It's not arrogance to tell the honest truth about something. I didn't see you try to refute anything I said; you just tried to mock and degrade me. It is not arrogant to call a fool a fool. I would say the past couple of elections have supported my statements well, and the upcoming one is likely to as well. I will never bow down to the idiocy of "being nice" to everyone, even the blithering idiots among us. I try to be polite, but if it's necessary to give the stark truth about the idiocy or inadequacies of someone or something, I will not hesitate to do so. It has nothing to do with partisan politics, and I could very well do the same for McCain, those his weaknesses lie in different areas. I was simply giving a reason, based on observations that correlate with available data, as to why Obama is slipping, despite the media's perception of the political atmosphere.

The fact of the matter is that neither Obama nor his supporters thought they would be anywhere near this close at any point. This is an election season where the Democrats should be able to win nominating a stuffed animal for President, and yet Obama has never been able to pull away from McCain, and now in some instances...is trailing.
Can't feel good...

Various work visa options and ample job opportunities, clubbed together with the country's agreeable working conditions, makes Singapore a very attractive place for expats.
Singapore (PRWEB) August 29, 2014
Singaporecompanyincorporation.sg, a portal for company incorporation services in the city-state, has published a comprehensive guide on everything that is to know about the EP application procedure of Singapore. The guide will particularly be helpful for Singapore incorporated companies, which need to hire foreigners in specialized roles and relocate them to the country.
"Another segment which will benefit is foreign investors or senior executives of a Singapore company who wish to shift back to the city-state to manage the company operations from here. Also, if any foreigner has secured a job offer with a fixed monthly salary of at least S$3,300, the guide provides some very useful tips on Singapore Employment Pass application," said Ms. Cheryl Lee, manager at Singaporecompanyincorporation.sg.
Apart from the advice on preparing the necessary documents for an EP application, the guide also lists important considerations an employer should make before making the application. This includes accessing the Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) Self-Assessment Tool to get an indication of whether a candidate meets the EP requirements, and adhering to the recently introduced Fair Consideration Framework.
A very important and sought-after issue the guide deals with is the process of appeals when an EP application is rejected.
As Singapore economy goes through a phase of restructuring, with emphasis on raising productivity, sometimes even worthy candidates can get their EP application rejected. That's where submitting a strong appeal to the MOM comes in handy.
"In most cases, a rejection advisory is issued for an unsuccessful EP application. Thus, the chance of a successful appeal, which must be made within three months of the rejection, is highly improved if the reasons mentioned in the advisory are taken care of," added Ms. Lee.
Additionally, the guide describes in detail the procedure for renewing and cancelling an EP.
Meanwhile, as Singapore has rightly been hailed as the best place in Asia to work, live, and play, as well as raise a family, EP holders who earn at least S$4,000 per month can get certain family members to join them in the country. The visas issued to family members can either be a Dependent Pass (DP) or Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP), depending on the qualifying criteria.
A special section in the guide is dedicated to explaining the various options and procedures related to obtaining visas for the EP holder's family members.
Notably, DP holders, according to the Singapore Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, are allowed to work in Singapore under certain conditions. Their prospective employer can either apply for an EP or else can get a letter of consent issued from the MOM if it's more convenient.
"Various work visa options and ample job opportunities, clubbed together with the country's agreeable working conditions, makes Singapore a very attractive place for expats. To top it all, the city-state's one of the lowest personal tax rates in the world ensures sizable annual savings for the work-force. So, applying for an EP and relocating to Singapore is a very wise choice. Another option for top-end foreign professionals is to go for the Personalised Employment Pass (PEP) route where one is not tied to any particular employer. We have recently published a guide detailing the PEP application procedure as well," concluded Ms. Lee.

Shire effort tackles diabetes from the bottom up
The complications that often come to mind with diabetes are things like controlling blood sugar, kidney problems and retina damage. But neuropathy, the disease's impact on the nervous system, is a serious and sometimes overlooked problem.
According to an estimate from the American Diabetes Association, between 60% and 70% of diabetics have mild-to-severe damage of the nervous system.
And for Shire, that percentage underscored a need for education. The drug maker recently launched website HealTogether.com, an online resource for people and communities afflicted with diabetes and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
A 2005 study published in JAMA estimated that 25% of the people who have diabetes will eventually suffer from a DFU. Shire says they're one of the most common complications in patients with diabetes.
"When Shire first entered the diabetic foot ulcer market, we realized that so much was lacking in the way of education and awareness," Bernis Gabelman, manager, market development for the regenerative business unit at Shire, told MM&M. "Patients with complications such as diabetic foot ulcers were at times ending up at a hospital with an infected wound before ever making it to a specialist."
Shire markets Dermagraft, a treatment for DFUs which is designed to facilitate the body's healing process by placing a "human dermal substitute" over the wound. Once the substrate is placed, it allows the patient's epithelial cells to close the sore.
HealTogether is an independent program. The unbranded website has a DFU risk-assessment tool, knowledge center, patient testimonials and a specialist locator. The four videos—appearing under the heading "You're Not Alone"—are meant to strike an emotional chord. Patient interviews discuss the ways diabetes, and its complications, affect their lives. The project involved a collaboration between Shire and Incubate, a digital agency based out of Southern California and Mexico.Gabelman noted, "HealTogether has received 20,000 visits to the website per month," in addition to industry awards recognizing its creative design and development, including this year's Graphic Design USA, American web-design award.

Windows 7
Hotkey to Multiple Displays
I've been browsing the web to find an answer for my question, but with no luck.
I use Windows 7 on a PC which is setup to be both an office and an entertainment computer. Therefore it's connected to two seperate screens with one graphic card. The screens are one 19" desktop screen (1280x1024) and one 40" Samsung LCD TV (1920x1080). When I'm browsing the web, working with documents etc. I use the desktop screen and when I watch movies, pictures etc. I use the TV.
Now I'm trying to switch between them in an easy way. I've tried several third party applications but eventually found that the best way to switch between these in fact is to use Windows 7 built-in software. I've setup Windows to recognize the two seperate screens and I switch between them by using the "Multiple Displays" option in the settings. I then switch by using "show desktop only on 1/2".
Do anyone know if this switch can be done by using a hotkey combination through Windows or through some other software? It's not the end of the world right clicking the desktop and doing it, but it'd be nice to save a few clicks every time.
I'm thankful for any help!
Best regards,

Setting -Lesson 2 of Cinder Book One
Lesson 9 of 12
Objective: SWBAT use textual evidence to identify the layers of detail in the setting of a longer text.
Big Idea: Timing is everything, but never underestimate the importance of location, location, location.
Warm Up
After students get their daily information from the agenda, they will take the following warm up Edmodo quiz:
1. What point of view is Cinder written in?
2. Who is telling the story "Cinder"?
3. Which of the following correctly identifies the setting of Cinder?
As with yesterday's lesson and everyday when students get reading time, today's lesson is very short as I want students to have reading time, and frankly they are chomping at the bit to get on with the book. I want to discuss setting and the importance of looking at it in terms of layers. I will start the discussion by asking what they recorded yesterday about setting. If a student tells me a detail, I respond with..."what page did you find that on? Often times they do not know because they did not record their information as textual evidence. So, I show them my book, which is a mess with post its. Then, I put up a snap shot of a page in my book where I had marked evidence of setting, and we discuss this method.
In the attached video I explain that process with an example.
After we look at evidence from chapter one, I put up the map located on Marissa Meyer's website, and we discuss the details of Cinders world. I consider this a bit of front loading because now my students will be more aware and (hopefully) observant of setting details and how they are layered.
Finally, I ask them to focus on how this setting affects the characters and what they do or do not do as they read so they will be prepared to discuss that in a meeting later.

Independent Work
Students will listen to the audio -picking up where we left in the last class - and follow in their books. As they do they will be very involved in the text, actively reading per the instructions on the Reading Circle sheets.
I will allow the class to read until the last five minutes of class time and record their stopping point.

Wrap Up
Wrap up time is spent allowing students to "debrief" independently - collecting their post its and/or completing their thoughts on their Reading Circle sheets. We always discuss questions or concerns before class is dismissed.

The Irish Heather is a whisky mecca in downtown Vancouver. Brigid James visited it
Tucked away in a corner of Vancouver's historic Gastown, amongst trendy restaurants and gift shops, is an establishment that offers a sense of permanence in this young and restless city. The Irish Heather is a pub that really looks like one, feels like one and allegedly serves the best pint of Guinness in town.
But don't be prepared to settle merely for a decent pint by the bar: the adventurous will head down a corridor and into the conservatory. From there, it's a step across the courtyard to a mysterious red doorway, with a brass plaque next to it bearing a shape very much like a still.
Through the red doorway, a glittering wall of whiskies appears, like an oasis in the desert, promising a tasting odyssey of epic proportions.
And the purveyor of such bounty? Meet Sean Heather, an affable Irish-Canadian who sounds like he's barely been away from his homeland for a day.
In 1997, he opened the Irish Heather in a run-down part of town. The pub flourished, and with it the area, now a tourist hot-spot boasting some of the city's oldest buildings (late 19th century) – among them The Heather.
When the former jail coachhouse building across the courtyard became vacant, Sean snapped it up, realizing the potential of this snug little venue with its attractive brickwork and secluded feel.
He named it 'Shebeen', which means 'a secretive small room or hovel where illegal alcohol was sold', as the website explains.
And although the alcohol sold is far from illegal, the room c...

chicago pizza time
i hope you all remembered to check out the coffee kids documentary last night. really inspiring. in case you missed it, you might be able to get a copy from coffee kids with a donation or check your public tv listings to see when it will be rebroadcast.
bright but seriously windy day called for a chicago-style stuffed pizza. usually these are filled with spinach, but i always use swiss chard. less bitter.
for a change i also made the crust of cornmeal with semolina flour in place of the usual pizza flour. i wasn't too happy with this -- the dough was too soft, and seemed to cook a little more quickly than the regular dough. the bottom and flutes of the crust were a little overdone, which detracted from the effect. unless you're just a lover of semolina, i'm not sure i recommend this crust combination. avoid from my mistakes, ok?
but we live and learn. dear readers, if you make this wonderful pizza with a large amount of semolina in the dough, watch it carefully and pull it out 5 or so minutes early.
the problem with making pizza is that it really is an all-day activity; not that there's more than oh, 40 minutes work altogether, but you do have to hang around a bit to punch down the dough. unless of course you make it the evening before and let it rise in the fridge overnight.
i neglected to do this, so i lolled about home all day. just as well, since my regular 4pm yoga class has been cancelled. instead i did punk yogi j brown's open class cd. he doesn't seem to be selling these yet, which is a shame, because it presents his excellent and relaxing open program.
it's a mellow practice for those days when you want a full 75 mins. of yoga but don't feel in the mood for shiva rea's big vinyasa cd. . .or in my case, when you're making pizza and 75 mins. is exactly one rising of the dough. . .

dudes! figure it out!
articles by young men such as the following in the student newspaper of the university of california's chico campus always amaze me (& i was actually moved to tell 'em so):
"but if i get past the 'twisting,' into anything more serious. . . . go ahead and alert my loved ones."
has the culture of computer gaming so attenuated the modern male? wake up! yoga is a babe magnet: chicks like guys who do yoga. yoga class will be filled with 99% attractive girls in very little clothing bending every which way. what part of this don't you understand?
even if you as a guy had ego problems about standing on one leg, just the thought of all the partner work so popular in yoga classes now should be enough. that's right you joystick jockeys: you not only get to look at 'em, you're gonna get to touch 'em as well.
and then they will sincerely thank you for it. since when is meeting and talking to girls not a major priority of most guys? or as a recent-college-grad girl in my office noted sadly: "guys these days have only 1 thing on their minds -- pizza."
whenever i meet guys who seem to feel that yoga is for wimps, i just want to send 'em links to all the articles here about the football, golf, tennis, basketball, baseball, and even snooker champions who do yoga. not to mention the rock and movie stars, like current makes-the-young-girls-swoon prize-winner, tobey mcguire of spiderman fame. guys, yoga is where ya wanna be!

au contraire
"we want to try to get people to rethink mr. coffee without having to reinvent it," sez the adman.
au contraire! sunbeam certainly needs to re-invent this popular horror from the 70s. it is one of the primary reasons, i believe, that people began to abandon coffee as a home beverage. why?
it brews the coffee at the wrong temperature, that's why, creating a nasty-tasting liquid that then sits on a hot plate and condenses into tar. yuck! i'd switch to tea too rather than drink the twig-and-rotting-bean stuff sold as supermarket brand x boiled down into what most people sadly think coffee is.
no amount of hiring extreme athletes and mtv v-jays to liven up this brand will save it.
dear readers, the best coffee is in fact made at home. you can make better coffee at home than you can buy almost anywhere with even a US$15 coffee grinder, a US$9 thermos, and a US$4 fine mesh strainer! get yourself some truly fresh beans carefully roasted from your local coffeehouse, and you're set.
but i frankly recommend, at a minimum, a burr grinder, and either a french press (aka cafetiere), a chemex, or a vac pot. coffee fit for royalty on your kitchen counter. . .

learn more about coffee kids
i'm not shy about my admiration for the great work done by the charity coffee kids. this holiday season, you can learn more about their work by watching (or taping!) a fine documentary about them.
it's airing in the new york tri-state region this friday the 22nd at 10pm on public tv station WNYE as part of the visionaries series. called coffee kids: grounds for hope, this 30-minute profile gives an inspiring glimpse into coffee kids' programs in costa rica, nicaragua, and mexico. these initiatives involve microcredit for women, education for children, and other worthwile activities.
why is this needed? the world-price depression in coffee -- the so-called "coffee crisis" -- continues this year, and probably will extend into next year as well, although people do expect some price rises soon. here's a recent article on msnbc that explains why, although coffee prices have fallen so dramatically, and the lives of coffee workers have descended into suffering, you aren't at least drinking less expensive coffee. no one is profiting from this situation -- well, ok, someone is and you know who they are. . .

3 cheers to marie wright
long-time readers may remember that i much admired the marie wright yoga cover-up skirt. finally i bought one last friday on my lunch hour. it's the usual e-commerce thing, i thought: checkout, click, get the confirmation email.
got busy on friday afternoon, didn't look at the confirmation email. on monday, peeked at it, thought, hmm, maybe i ordered the wrong size. maybe i need a medium in black, not a large. better phone. so i call at 9:30am santa barbara time, and i actually spoke to marie herself, who turns out to be one of the sweetest individuals. just a doll.
marie informed me that she couldn't change the size because the item had been shipped friday afternoon, apparently just a couple hours after i clicked submit. can you believe it? none of this amazon "ships within 24 to 48 hours." i think we're talking like a 3-hour turnaround or something (gotta do that timezone math. . .) marie ships usps priority 2-3 day for a shockingly reasonable fee; no outrageous markup.
marie suggested that i try the skirt on when it came, and if it was too large to call her. can you believe she actually offered to ship me the smaller skirt after my call with a return envelope so i could ship the larger skirt back when the smaller arrived? as i am used to the standard die-online-customer-we'll-ignore-you returns policy so many etailers have, i nearly fell out of my chair. doing business with marie is pure delight, honestly.
i started talking to marie, and one of the things i asked her was where her clothes were made. she assured me that they are sewn in california. no sweatshop, completely ethical. unlike some of those fancy designer $$$$$ yoga clothes, you don't have to ask yourself if there's an ahimsa problem in their manufacture.
the lovely hawaiian kapa (barkcloth print fabric) style ginger-flower design comes from hoffman fabrics, also in california. marie was totally honest -- she didn't know the original source of that fabric. so what the heck, i called hoffman and spoke to their rep, frances. she also was quite honest: this textile would just be too expensive if made in the u.s.a., and that the cloth came from offshore, but that for competitive reasons she obviously couldn't tell me who her supplier was. frances however also assured me that this fabric didn't come from an oppressive situation.
ordered friday, received this morning. open the package! o wow o wow. the skirt is much nicer than the pictures on her website indicate. the print is unusually crisp and clear, no overprinting or misregistration at all. the colors are vivid without being loud: pink, crimson, maroon, spring green, hunter green, maize, khaki, white, dove gray, and a really interesting shadowy dark mauve-grape color.
the print is that charming big retro floral -- totally the santa monica ivy -- and makes you look more "blue crush" surf-girl than "auntie's sofa." worried that you can't wear the pattern outside of sunny california? the retro-pacific dream is back, even here in new york.
further, the skirt itself is cut to a flattering a-line that falls mid-calf. it's full. the narrow waistband ties and gathers in the back around a little keyhole, so you present a sleek front and a rather J.Lo back. the finishing on the skirt is excellent -- not a loose thread anywhere. further, you can easily see that marie makes an effort to match up the pattern at the front darts, where it would be noticeable.
i tried on the skirt, and found i actually enjoyed the size, especially in the front. the waistband does dip in the back a bit (comfy!) and then there's that baby-bustle gather to enhance your, um, assets. since the fabric is 100% cotton, it will shrink a bit. i think i'm keeping the larger size. those of you who don't enjoy the little gather so much might consider staying true to size for more overall sleekness.
i called marie to tell her this and she still said, well, look at it for a couple of days -- you can still return it unworn. isn't that amazing? this skirt is better than just a toss-on cover-up; you could even wear it out in warmer weather with a delicate little sweater. . .

more chocolate show
yes here i am salivating once again in front of my precious kilo of el rey. all hail eric, the el rey rep!
my personal sense of discovery was piqued by bouvier chocolates of rennes, france. while herbal chocolates have been the rage for a couple of years, i found his fennel bon-bon particularly appealing. obviously, a tea-flavored candy is never going to float my boat, but he did a lovely rendition of the idea, nicely packaged too.
i also finally met stephanie zonis, but she was a tad harried handing out crumbs for the amazing fritz knipschildt. i however missed clay gordon of chocophile. tee-hee! i know all these chocolate folks, and none of them seem to know me -- i'm invisible!
i'm a big fan of the weiss chocolate you can pick up at the garden of eden here in brooklyn, but the weiss-payard co-display didn't send me. forget payard. bring me the weiss-michel chaudrun chocolat mendiant 64% fruit and nut bar, thank you very much!
i did get to chat briefly with the hair-on-fire andrew schotts of garrison; he was handing out charming hazelnut praline squares with just the right amount of crunch. . i thought his chocolates had improved this year. . .and also of course, our original brooklyn chocolate hero, jacques torres. he's a sweetie in person, isn't he?
i didn't see patrick coston this year at all, alas. new york celebrity chocolatiere sweet bliss was there, however; and i must confess that i am mystified why someone so talented wastes her art on stuff like a "chocolate peanut butter and jelly sandwich" and chocolate-covered potato chips. she says it's "fun," but i think it's lack of self-esteem, to be blunt. take yourself seriously! address the highest potential your art offers! i guess that stuff sells. . .to someone. . .
now, as to those ruby et violette cookies. i saw them in the flesh at her booth. frankly, they were too dark; i found them unattractive. when i made them, they actually looked a tad better tho' still overly brown, if i do say so myself. . .however, i appreciate that she gives some of her profits to charity.
i was also surprised to discover that i liked the italian hot chocolate offered by caffe musetti. and mr. right seems to have taken a fancy to a danish childhood institution, cocio chocolate milk. i think it's, umm, merely ok, but must be served very very cold, or else you can taste a little something from the fancy european process that keeps milk fresh without refrigeration. i mean, he stuffed his pockets full with cans of it. . .
as we passed the huge feel-good display put on by the nation of ivory coast, i did look around to see if they had anything about the child slaves, but maybe i missed it. . .in fact, they seemed to have no labor info at all. surprising, no? (remember, el rey chocolates are all from venezuela. they are child-slave-free chocolates. just another reason to savor them!)
the people you meet at the show are interesting. i mean, i had a very civilized disagreement with a chain-smoking frenchman named robert over the superiority of valrhona or cluziel. . .and i enjoyed meeting pastry chef christine criscione, a graduate of the fci, who's opened her shop in the newly hip queens. so if you need a cake or something. . .
i could write so much more, but by the end i was drifting about in a daze of gianduja and sandeman port, clutching my precious. . .precious. . .kilo of heaven, battered by the roaring crowd. finally, a nice article from cnn on the chocolate show, highlighting my faves knipschildt (who does have the perfect truffle) and bouvier, who i pray on bended knee opens a new york store tomorrow or the next day. oh, and for fanatics, my report from last year's show, spead out over a couple of days.

just amazing!
back from the new york chocolate show. can you believe that the line to get in was so long that it snaked around 3 sides of the block on a chilly drizzly day?
so much news! the biggest of which is that the venerable chocolatier boissier, in paris since 1827, is planning to open a new york store. they're aiming for late fall 2003. . .(why don't they have a website?!?) their squat little dark chocolate ganache bon-bon touched with dot of gold leaf is just everything you imagine a french candy to be. the texture was spun silk; the perfume so rich and full with a clear vanilla note. heavenly!
and i managed to clear a deal on a kilo of el rey bucare 58.5% for a mere US$15. i felt like a damn thief practically. long-time readers will recall that right up there with valrhona manjari, the bucare is my favorite eating chocolate. actually, i often prefer the bucare. and now i have an entire kilo -- why didn't i buy 3? why didn't i get a kilo of el rey mijao while i was at it?
i guess i couldn't see myself carrying home 4 kilos of chocolate. i mean, how could i possibly use that much chocolate before it bloomed or something?
and the people from el rey were just so nice. the place was packed worse than a japanse commuter train, total chaos, people grabbing at samples. but the staff from el rey seemed as cool as cucumbers and they were incredibly friendly among such a massive frenzy. hats off to el rey. i have so much more to tell you about the chocolate show. look for it all tomorrow. . .

From India:
Is it possible that extra insulin can interfere in filtration from micro-vessels and from liver, kidney, etc. and cause some problem in view of that it is a big molecule and exogenous insulin can be bit odd for body's normal handling? Excess and continual exposure of insulin may also cause its decreased use due to insulin resistance and decreased degradation so circulating insulin can be more.
The rate limiting step in insulin absorption is absorption from a subcutaneous site. It is rather efficiently absorbed without much difficulty. Previous studies have shown that insulin resistance is not related to absorption at the injection site.

National Library of France
Collections and services
Science of matter and the universe
The Research library's closed-stack collection of multimedia materials on the science of matter and the universe reflects trends in French publishing in the field.
Educational output appears to dominate the sector in physics and chemistry, with publishers such as Pierron, Micrelec, and Jeulin producing materials for an audience that ranges from primary schools to higher education.
Various other approaches to the science of matter and the universe, ranging from scientific popularization to work by specialists, are represented in the Library's collections. Leading popularization tools include Redshift, published by Alsyd, which brings together key astronomical data and constitutes a genuine aid for observing the sky. Using satellite images covering the entire planet, Anuman's Planet Observer software enables readers to fly over the world's most remote regions...
CD-ROMS have been published on the life, works, and times of great astronomers and physicists of bygone days: for example, Galilée : et pourtant elle tourne..., Einstein et son temps, and Einstein : l'esprit du XXe siècle. Multimedia publishing has also taken an interest in famous contemporary scientists, an example being an adaptation of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time: from the Big Bang to Black Holes.
Output on scientific aspects, while not sizable in volume terms, is no less significant in terms of depth of study and research. For example, scientific progress in relation to space exploration, manned flights, launchers, and planetary exploration is the subject of regular reports from conferences held by the European Space Agency (ESA), most of which are brought together in the ESA-SP CD-ROM collection.
The multimedia collection also contains a few "curiosities"; in particular, it includes a three CD-ROM reissue of issues 76 to 105 (1999-2004) of popular science magazine Fusion, la science passionnément, published from 1982 to 2006.

"He is a Nottingham guy and it is just one of those legendary stories that feels like a Hollywood movie script, though I would not treat it like that," says Meadows who is form Nottingham himself.
Simpson was a very distinctive character – wry and very amusing off the bike – and the first British cyclist to truly make a mark on the continental racing scene, as popular off the bike.
He won the World Championship in 1965 and a host of other high-profile races such as Milan-San Remo (1964), Bordeaux-Paris (1963), Tour of Lombardy (1965), San Sebastian (1965), Paris-Nice (1967) and two stages of the 1967 Vuelta a España.
Meadows is fully aware of the controversy behind Simpson's death – after the collapse on Mont Ventoux a post mortem showed evidence of both amphetamines and alcohol in his system.
"He was very open about taking amphetamines and it was very different then," claims Meadows. "I just think it is a great story.
"For example, the French loved him because after two weeks in France he was doing his interviews in French, broken French admittedly, but this was just an ordinary guy from Nottingham."
Meadows stated that as yet he has not sought the film rights to Simpson's life, nor had he considered who would play the lead role in the film.
This Is England, released in 2006, was directed and written by Meadows and won the Best Film category at the 2006 British Independent Film Awards. Meadows also wrote and directed Dead Man's Shoes and Once Upon a Time in the Midlands.

First of all, you need to calm down. Second of all, if you can't accept that, just maybe, it is you that has made the error, rather than the tool, then perhaps you shouldn't use it. However, in the interest of easing your pain through the process of validating your page for the first time, I'll point out your mistake. > My code dos not contain any unacceptable code. That point is quite debatable, but it depends on your definition of acceptable vs. unacceptable code. > All of the errors listed are indeed valid.

It means that you have omitted a required element, according to the DTD, and the validator has encountered the end-tag before it was expected.

|Health and Social Care Bill
4.30 pmMr. Hammond: The Minister may not realise that he is doing himself and his Government a disservice by quoting those figures, because people look at what is happening on the groundwhether they can get into hospital or get an appointment with their GP. Figures bandied about in Westminster or Whitehall mean nothing to them.
Would the Minister to go back to something that he said a few moments ago? He said that we are talking about a substantially increasing number of GPs, not about redistributing GPs. Each year, a significant number of GPs reach retirement age or leave the service for other reasons. Is he telling the Committee that there will not be a reduction in the number of GPs in any health authority area?
Mr. Denham: I would be surprised if there were a reduction in any health authority area. One can never be absolutely sure without seeing the detailed figures, population shifts and so on. Given that we are seeking to increase the number of GPs by 2,000 net over the period of the NHS plan, I hope that we will see expansion, but I think that there is a case for faster expansion in some areas of the country than others. However, I cannot give an absolute assurance, because I have not looked at every health authority and its circumstances.
The number of GPs in individual practices always varies over time: practices grow or shrink, partly because of the population base and partly for other reasons. The underlying point is that we are expanding the number of GPs. We have made it clear that we regard the figure in the NHS plan as a floor not a ceiling. If we can expand further, we will.
Mr. Hammond: The Minister will be aware that the NHS plan proposes significant improvements in access to service provided by GPs, and the Government suggest that an additional 2,000 GPs will be needed to achieve that. The British Medical Association suggests that it will need four to five times that number. Is not the logic of what the Minister is telling the Committee that the improvements in service proposed by the NHS plan will not be available to areas that the Government consider to be over-doctored or adequately doctored if he intends to target most new GPs to areas that he considers to be under-doctored?
Mr. Denham: I do not accept that. We believe that the number of GPs in the plan will be adequate to meet the access targets and service developments set out in the period of the plan. It is important to offer that high level of primary care access not just in some parts of the country but across the country as a whole and, in particular, in areas which, in relative terms, are under-doctored. We should always talk in relative rather than absolute terms when we talk about the development of GP practices.
Sir George Young: I am grateful to the Minister for addressing the issues that I raised when I initiated this debate. I have never disputed the assertion that a differential approach to resource allocation is necessary and I made it clear that areas that faced greater challenges should have more money. However, I queried whether 80 per cent. was the right figure and I quoted from a panel set up by the Minister, which found no evidence for such a wide disparity. The document from which I quoted is now in the safe hands of Hansard, so I cannot draw on it again. I am not sure that the Minister's reply dealt with the independent panel's comment that that variation of 80 per cent. could be substantiated.
I caution the Minister before he quotes what seem to be substantial figures. Each time that I hear an announcement from a Minister about substantial new resources for my local authority, health authority or police authority, I take the precaution of writing to the authorities to ask for their assessment of the announcement. I must say that their perception of the increase is not always the same as that of the Government. In this case, the Minister referred to huge increases in allocations to my health authority. I did exactly what I have just described, and the reply from the director of finance stated:
The letter also stated:
Large increases in resources for all health authorities were announced in November, so I wrote to my health authority and asked whether that meant that they did not need to find savings of £13.5 million. The director of finance's reply stated:
that is the document looking for economies
In other words, the authority has been unable to change the proposals that it made earlier in the year as a result of the increased allocation. I add those words of caution because the public in my constituency are becoming suspicious of large figures broadcast by Ministers. They cannot reconcile big increases with the local situation, where the health authority is scratching around for £13.5 million in savings.
On a more positive note, the Minister was able to say that there will be no reduction in GPs, which is welcome. I do not wish to press my amendment to a Division, but I remain concerned about the application of a formula that the Minister's independent panel believes to be unfair to one section of the health service. I ask him to pause before he inflicts a formula that does not have wide support on part of the health service, primary care, that is working well. This is a Treasury-driven proposal to cash-limit that portion of the NHS budget that is not currently cash limited. The Treasury has being trying to do that for years, and it has succeeded under this Administration. I urge caution on the part of the Minister before he pushes that forward to primary care services. Nevertheless, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Mr. Hammond: I beg to move amendment No. 10, in page 1, line 21, at end insert
The Chairman: With this it will be convenient to take the following: Amendment No. 9, in page 2, line 12, at end insert
Amendment No. 19, in page 2, line 24, at end insert
Amendment No. 21, in page 2, line 38, at end add
Mr. Hammond: Thank you, Mr. Maxton. We are all on a learning curve with these new arrangements, and I have no idea whether it was the Government's intention that the effect would be, in practice, to curtail debate of some clauses that are important to interested and knowledgeable bodies outside Parliament. In order that we should have an opportunity to discuss clause 17, it will be necessary for us to spend a moment only on this group of amendments.
The issues that the amendments seek to address have already been aired in the previous two debates. If the Minister is genuinely committed to a transparent process, which entails the use of formulae that can be clearly understood and applied consistently and fairly, I suggest that the amendments are necessary or, at the least, can do no harm. They simply set out a requirement that the Secretary of State will make public the matters that he takes into account when he makes his funding allocation, and the way in which he does so. That is parliamentary phraseology for publishing the formula. If the Minister's intends to make the formula public, perhaps he would be good enough to tell the Committee that he accepts the amendments.
Mr. Denham: We already publish details of the current health allocations
Mr. Denham: We already publish details of the current health allocations formula and that process is quite transparent. Everyone knows the formula and local target and the pace of change that has been achieved each year. We fully intend to continue that arrangement for the additional element in the formula proposed in the clause and when the main allocation formula is revised, I am sure that that will be the case. Unlike the right hon. Member for North-West Hampshire, I find the 99 health authorities remarkably good auditors of the process. They are quick to shout if they think that things are not fair or not working.
As drafted, the amendment would add an unnecessary bureaucratic element to what is actually a transparent process. Everyone can see every year what the Secretary of State has done and how he has done it.

Although tenured faculty usually get the credit and big salaries for scientific discoveries at the University of California, legwork for their breakthroughs is often performed by more anonymous postdoctoral researchers who earn less than $40,000 a year.
On Thursday, those 6,500 postdoctoral researchers stepped into the national spotlight with the announcement that they had ratified their first union contract with the UC system. The action came after an organizing and negotiating effort that began four years ago.
The pay raises are not huge, but experts say the contract will significantly change the research workplace environment at the 10 UC campuses and potentially across much of American academia.
"This will have a tremendous impact. Success breeds success and emulation. I think there is a good chance this will go national," said Richard Boris, executive director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions at Hunter College in New York. Beyond salary terms, the agreement is notable for establishing "professional dignity" when weakened finances at universities make employees feel vulnerable, he added.

Yesterday morning, it was a sight of unethical and insensitive fanism showed by both Bangladesh media and also Bangla fans when it comes to cheering for their country in their semi-final match against India in Champions Trophy.
While Bangla media maintained that Indian pace attack can't withstand tall Bangladesh batting, they also made fun of Dhoni and others for their series loss with Bangla sometime ago. At the same time, Bangla fans made some cartoons where Bangla is depicted as a tiger and India is shown as a dog, and the tiger chases the dog. But after the result, one clearly understood who is the real tiger, with no offence meant to dog.
Telugu fans started showing their love for the country through Nandamuri Balakrishna's dialogues. Especially they made use of Balayya's Legend dialogues like "Okadu Maaku Edurochhina Vadike Risk, Okadiki Memu Edurellina Vadike Risk" indicating about Bangladesh's fate. And these memes have struck well with fans of all Telugu heroes and they started sharing them on twitter, facebook and Whatsapp in no time. Surely they are rejoicing through Balayya's dialogues.
Meanwhile, India's stringent attack on Bangladesh with their best batting skills and also bowling attack as well has led Team Blue to final where they will clash with arch-rival Pakistan on Sunday at The Oval, London.

'The song "Comin' Thro' the Rye" asks if it is wrong for two people to have a romantic encounter out in the fields, away from the public eye, even if they don't plan to have a commitment to one another.'
I thought the 'Rye' referred to in Robert Burns' poem was the river Rye, hence the lines: 'Jenny's a wet poor body, Jenny's seldom dry'. In this regard it is about two people who meet at a river with no crossing, which will cause people to question why one of them is wet and what they have been doing.

The California Department of Health Care Services, DHCS, has selected The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) as the mandated assessment instrument for use with all youth receiving EPSDT Specialty Mental Health Services.
Each CANS Train the Trainer session is divided into two days: The first day, familiarizes attendees with the CANS and certifies them in its usage. Day two trains attendees as CANS trainers for their agencies.
The CANS is a multi-purpose instrument developed for children's services providers to support decision-making – including level of care determination and service planning – to facilitate quality improvement initiatives, and to allow for the monitoring of service outcomes.
Versions of the CANS currently are used in 36 states in at least one child serving system (child welfare, mental health, juvenile justice, and early intervention applications) and integrated systems applications in 20 states . A comprehensive, multi-system version exists as well. Easy to learn and well liked by parents, providers and other partners in the service systems, the CANS has demonstrated reliability and validity, is actionable and does not necessarily require scoring in order to be meaningful to an individual child and family.
CANS, moreover, is an open domain tool that is free for anyone to use.

Empty classroom should provide lesson for BOE
When will they ever learn?
That's the question for Stamford Public School students and the city's Board of Education in light of the April 19 inclement weather make-up day that 265 teachers and slightly more than half the entire student population didn't bother to attend.
Did anyone really think most families would cut short a week's vacation for a standalone school day? The "unrestricted days" off policy in the teachers' contract certainly didn't obligate that group to face the nearly empty classrooms any logical person should have expected. Then again, logic is something the Board of Education seems reluctant to apply to the academic calendar.
With so few students and teachers in school, the city shelled out more than $18,540 to pay substitutes many of whom we've heard did little more than hit the "play" button and stand idly by. Smart.
Wisely, the school board decided last week to yet again review its policy for making up cancelled school days. But will they finally make a wise decision? In the name of The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore, we hope so.
They should start by dropping the "built-in inclement weather days." In recent years, the board has designated a few days at the end of the scheduled 181 to be used as possible for make-ups. This essentially locks in an end date for the school year even when more than the allotted number of days need to be rescheduled. Such was the case this year. As a result, the board dropped the 181st day (the state only requires 180), changed Veterans Day from a holiday to a school day, and then finally cut of one day of April vacation to not mess with its self-imposed last day of school.
Just return to picking a last tentative day of school then add make-up days after it as needed throughout the year.
To avoid the threat of school running into July in the event of excessive bad weather days, as has been the past few years, cut the week's long February break to a long four-day weekend. Parents, teachers and administrators have been calling for it in recent years to give students more in-class time in the heart of the school year. It's time to take heed. There's those three extra school days right there. If any of those are wiped out by Snowpocalypse or what have you, we'll be no worse off than before.
Need one more? Next year's school calendar has a staff only "professional development" day already added on Monday following the week-long April break. That should become a full school day. The school board should then make the Friday before that spring break a PD/early dismissal day. The kids still go to school; the teachers and staff still get to brush up on their skills.
However, that's short-term thinking. This summer the board needs to follow through on its promise to create a policy on what holidays and other off days to give students when creating the school calendar. This will help avoid some of these issues in addition to some of the annual debate over whether students' really should have a second day off for Rosh Hashanah or benefit more by being in school on Veterans Day. Our calendar says it's time the Board of Education made this reality.

Honey bees often get a bad rap amongst humans who are nervous about being stung by a bee. Anyone who has been stung knows how painful and uncomfortable it can be and there are people with life threatening bee sting allergies.
What people are often unaware of is that honey bees are not at all aggressive by nature. They only sting when they feel their hive is in danger or when provoked (for instance, being swatted at during a picnic). In fact, death follows for a honey bee who has stung, so it is in their best interest to keep their stinger as long as possible
Honey bees live in organized societies with clearly defined roles. Everyone knows about the queen bee, of course. But did you know that the queen bee is the only female in the hive who is able to reproduce, and is able to do so until her death, whereas the male bees who mate with her die shortly thereafter? Queen bee, indeed!
Many people do not realize that honey bees play a very important role in the production of many of the crops that we depend on. Honey bees are the largest group of pollinators and are responsible for pollinating roughly one-third of our fruits, vegetables, and nuts. For instance, almonds are completely dependent on honey bees for pollination in the United States.
Berries, apples, avocados, melons, carrots onions...all of these are brought to us through the efforts of honey bees' pollination. Without them, our diets will suffer and it will be increasingly difficult to get our vitamins naturally.
Honey bees are also vital to our economy. Their pollination of our crops contributes $15 billion to the United States economy ($215 billion worldwide) every year. They carry an enormous responsibility for both our physical and economic health.
The declining population of the honey bee is an unfortunate trend that began in the mid-1990's. Scientists believe several factors have led to this event, often referred to as Colony Collapse Disorder. Parasites, migratory stresses, various viruses, new pesticides that are especially toxic to honey bees and loss of habitat have led to honey bees abandoning their hives and dying off at unprecedented rates.
What can we do about this decline? Great question! Individuals can take several steps to slow this decline and give honey bees an environment in which they can thrive. The most important step is to stop using harmful pesticides in gardens and on lawns. There are natural remedies that can serve a similar purpose without damaging the environment or harming honey bees.
Honey Bee Haven also recommends planting clusters of different plants that will provide food for the honey bees throughout the year, as well as maintaining a clean source of water on your property. Trees and bushes will also provide a safe place for honey bees to build their nests.
Of course for you overachievers you can become a beekeeper right in your own backyard! This positive new trend has seen such a surge in popularity. The American Beekeeping Foundation has created plenty of resources on their website to help new beekeepers get started.
Getting started is relatively easy. An aspiring new beekeeper will need a hive (which can be built or purchased), a smoker, a hive tool, and some sort of sting protection, such as gloves and veil (or a beekeeper suit, if so inclined). Of course, you will also need some bees! There may be a local producer in your area, or they can be ordered by mail if needed. Each new hive will require about 12,000 bees to populate it.
Other organizations, such as Bee Informed, continue to conduct research on the best practices for maintaining your new bee colony. This research is critical to the beekeeping community efforts to rebuild the bee population that has been lost. Helping to establish new bee colonies will not be the only benefit to your new beehive though. You will also find yourself with fresh raw honey and beeswax for yourself and any lucky neighbors you would like to share with. Helping the environment and fresh honey for your tea, what could be better?

Marc Cox, a reporter/anchor for KMOV-TV in St. Louis, will leave the station in May to become a financial advisor with Edward Jones there. Cox told On Wall Street that he hopes to be licensed, trained and "ready to go" by late August.
A 25-year veteran of television news, Cox has been at KMOV-TV since 1993, working as a reporter and as the co-anchor of the morning news show. Cox has won awards from the Missouri Broadcasters Association and the Associated Press; he also received eight regional Emmy nominations, winning in 2006 and 2008 for Excellence in Television News.
Why is he leaving to start a new career with Edward Jones? "I recently signed a new two-year contract," he revealed in response to a query from On Wall Street, "but the question for me was where will television news be 15 or 20 years from now? That is a big debate even among news veterans."
Apparently, financial services seems more appealing.
"I enjoy interviewing people and learning from them," said Cox, "and bringing people information they need. I made the decision to look for a job where my skill set would provide added value, and Edward Jones offered me a tremendous opportunity to become a financial advisor. Just like developing new sources, it's a job that involves meeting new people and building relationships, with the added benefit of truly being able to have a positive impact on their lives."
As for his choice of firm to launch a new career, Cox is familiar with Edward Jones because his wife Michelle has done freelance writing in marketing and communications for that firm for nearly 17 years. "It's a great company to work for," he said, "as evidenced by the continued top rankings on Fortune Magazine's 100 best companies list each year. I'm thankful for the opportunity, and look forward to building a successful second career."

NIH criticized for lax oversight of grants
In fiscal year 2007, NIH appropriated $29.2 billion, 80% of which went to universities, medical schools and other research institutions across the country and around the world.
Yet, "Many Institutes' primary method of oversight is reliance on grantee institutions' assurances that financial conflict-of-interest regulations are followed," asserts the report by the US Office of Inspector General.
It's common for researchers based at medical schools to consult for pharmaceutical and device manufacturers. These ties can present ethics challenges, especially if the consulting payment could be viewed as influencing a researcher's opinion.
OIG recommended that NIH, as an oversight body, should take a more active role in overseeing financial conflicts of interest among grantee institutions. That means collecting details of the nature and management of financial conflicts of interest. But that's not about to happen. In a response, NIH countered that collecting such details is the university's legal responsibility.
NIH overhauled its ethics policy in 2005, including a ban on outside consulting, but the rule applies only to agency employees (MM&M, October 2005).
As part of its inquiry, OIG asked the 24 Institutes with grant-making authority to turn over information on conflicts of interest among the institutions to which they awarded funds.
NIH provided only 438 reports for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. That's not an accurate count, OIG stated in the 30-page report. The problem stems from the fact that NIH lacks a central source for providing a total count of financial conflict-of-interest reports. OER, its Office of Extramural Research, does maintain a database of grants given to universities, but it's incomplete.
Furthermore, of the reports collected, at least 89% did not state the nature of the conflicts or how they would be managed. That's because regs do not explicitly require such details to be reported. Only 30 of the 438 reports included detailed financial conflict-of-interest descriptions, while 15 provided a detailed description of how conflicts would be managed, reduced or eliminated.
The FDA also has struggled to ensure public trust in its advisory committee members. Last year a CBS News analysis found that, since 2002 medical professionals had registered 189 conflicts of interest at 86 advisory committee meetings.

London: Chelsea`s faltering Premier League title challenge suffered another blow when they lost 2-1 at home to Liverpool following a late winner by defender Glen Johnson.
A second successive home defeat for Chelsea following their 5-3 loss to Arsenal left them 12 points behind leaders Manchester City after 12 matches of the season.
Chelsea fell behind when Maxi Rodriguez struck after 34 minutes but equalised when substitute Daniel Sturridge scored at the far post 10 minutes into the second half.
The game at Stamford Bridge appeared to be heading for a draw until former Chelsea full back Johnson found himself in space on the right and burst into the penalty area before unleashing a low shot into the corner of the net.
Liverpool, unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions, climbed to sixth in the table, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
"It is not good to be so low in the table in relation to the leaders at this stage of the season but there is no running away from our responsibilities," Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas told a news conference.
"There is no calling this a year of transition, no calling for time to do our work. Our responsibility is to win the most amount of trophies we can and at the moment we are in four competitions."
Villas-Boas has endured a difficult start as Chelsea manager.
"It is not the brightest of starts in the Premier League for Chelsea in the last 10 years, but the belief is there from the team and that is what we have to focus on," he said.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was delighted with his team.
"We played really well in the first half -- they came back in the second half and put us under a bit of pressure, but we hung on in there and the result matched our ambition of wanting to win the game," he said.
"Glen Johnson ran into their box in the 86th minute to score the goal to win the game, I don`t know what he was doing up there, but it`s an indication of how much we wanted to win when your right full-back is up there."
Breakneck Pace
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres, signed from Liverpool for 50 million pounds ($79 million) in January, and Andy Carroll who replaced him at Anfield for 35 million pounds both started on the bench but the visitors struck first after a breathless start to the match.
Charlie Adam dispossessed John Obi Mikel on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area to set up an exchange of passes between Craig Bellamy and Luis Suarez before Maxi Rodriguez swept the ball over a diving Petr Cech and into the far corner.
Bellamy, making only his second league start since returning to Liverpool, was at the heart of most of their first-half raids and Suarez put the erratic David Luiz under almost continual pressure every time Liverpool broke forward.
Suarez and Chelsea captain John Terry, both the subject of investigations into allegations of racism, had contrasting halves, with Suarez causing Chelsea problems and Terry looking far from his old assured self.
Chelsea, though, looked livelier after the break when Sturridge, who made his England debut against Sweden on Tuesday, immediately added pace to their attack and he equalised from close range following a surging run and cross from Florent Malouda.
Moments later Chelsea went close to a second but Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina kept his side level with a brilliant point-blank save from Branislav Ivanovic who flicked on a Didier Drogba free kick.
Malouda twice went close for Chelsea as Liverpool defended in depth but the visiting team suddenly found inspiration in the shape of the marauding Johnson who surged into the penalty area and stroked the ball past the despairing Terry into the corner of the net.
Chelsea suffered their first back-to-back home league defeats since 2002 and will head for a Champions League match at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany on Wednesday having lost three of their last four league games.
Manchester City notched up their 11th win in 12 league matches with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday and Manchester United stayed five points behind their local rivals in second place with a 1-0 win at Swansea City.
Tottenham, who have two matches in hand on the other leading sides, will climb to third with victory over Aston Villa at White Hart Lane on Monday.

Internet disconnectivity is one of the major issues faced by most of the internet users.
It will be very irritating to see the internet going down while doing something very important. For instance imagine the net going down while booking a Train or Flight Ticket Online. So it's always better to see the Internet connectivity before doing any important stuff or transaction online.
Continuously Monitor the Internet Connection
Luckily we have the Ping Command which itself can be used to Monitor the Internet Connectivity. Let's see how to Monitor the Internet Connectivity using the Ping Command:
- Go to Start -> Run Menu
- Type Command and Press Enter (This step can be ignored if required)
- Type Ping 188.8.131.52 -t (184.108.40.206 is the Google's DNS server and -t is used to run this task continuously). This command will show the status of Internet Connectivity continuously
- This task can be stopped by pressing Control + C
This command will just show the status of the Internet Connectivity but won't track down the number of instance Internet went down within a particular duration. If we want to track the same then you can use the utility called "Internet Connectivity Monitor"
Internet Connectivity Monitor will show the status of the Internet Connectivity and also will track the number of instance the Internet went down within a particular duration.

Asta and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next Emperor Magus. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Asta could not use magic at all, and tried to make up for his lack by training physically. When they received their Grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Asta received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Asta's power was revealed, he received a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a "black clover"! Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal!

hello everybody,
does somebody have a script where the user can delete the records in a table from a PHP form.
The records should be deleted based on checkboxes.Like, when the records are displayed on the form, there would be a check box displaying at the end of each record and when the user checks this check box, and click submit, a value would be set to this row and in the next step, the user either can cancel the delete or really delete them.
If somebody had implemented this sort of application, pls send me.I would be really thankful to you.I've been trying this since couple of days and itz driving me nuts.Tomorrow is my last day for submission.Hope somebody would help me.
thanks in advance.

M1 Closure J20 - J18 Southbound, Leicestershire. Monday 02 March 2015
The M1 in Leicestershire was closed on Monday between junctions J20 and J18 due to a multiple vehicle accident involving four Heavy Goods Vehicles and a car. Two seriously injured casualties were involved as a consequence of the collision. The accident occurred within a roadwork's enclosure.
Around 15:18 operators at our East Midlands Regional Control Centre became aware of an accident on the M1 involving four Heavy Goods Vehicles and a car. Highways Agency Traffic Officers along with Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service responded. Upon arrival of the emergency services it was discovered that two occupants of the car were trapped and following an assessment of the incident scene an Air Ambulance was requested to attend. The road was subsequently closed southbound and a robust symbol led diversion route was instigated with traffic directed to follow the solid square symbol which required traffic to exit at J20 and join the A4303 to the A5 south then continuing along the A428 at Crick to continue to J18 of the M1. M6 traffic bound for the M1 was directed to exit at J2 on to M69 and exit at J1 to take the A5 south and join the above diversion route at A4303 Magna Park jct.
At circa 16:00 the northbound carriageway was blocked with traffic halted to allow two Air Ambulances to attend the incident. Work continued at scene to resolve the accident and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue directed their efforts to extricate the two trapped casualties. This was achieved around 16:48 when the two Air Ambulances departed and Leicestershire Police began their collision investigations.
Our Highways Agency Traffic Officers worked with the Police to release the trapped traffic caught behind the accident and in front of the closure. This was achieved by releasing the traffic along the link road from the M6 southbound to the M1 southbound and trapped traffic from the M1 southbound within J19 was run past the scene of the accident. Delays by this time had risen sharply and were in the region of 60 minutes on the M1 and 40 minutes on the M6 southbound between J3 and J2.
A protracted Police investigation ensued and recovery operations commenced and delays remained constant on the M1 and M6, 60 minutes and 40 minutes respectively above the normal travel time. The diversion routes were working well however and helping to keep the delays to a minimum.
At 19:20 Leicestershire Police confirmed conclusion of their investigations and around this time the recovery of the vehicles involved was also near completion. Our Highways Agency contractors began operations to clean up the carriageway to remove vehicle debris and spillages. We still were reporting long delays on the M1 at this time, however the delays on the M6 had cleared.
The closures were removed and the road reopened (M1) southbound at 20:50 following a determination by the Police that it was now safe to do so. Our systems reported residual delays of 30 minutes above the normal profiled journey time. Throughout the incident we endeavored to keep motorists updated and used our breaking news website and Twitter feeds to disseminate information as it developed.
