I'd like some help please on how I could position my header 1 in the light blue colour to fit in line with the banner (the black thing you see) for my CSS. I have tried googling but to no avail.
Thank you very much!
So far, I have got:
margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; float: top;
Hi, ParfaitMacaron, Welcome to the forums,
The image is still pending. Without seeing your HTML and CSS, which the image wouldn't show anyway, let me offer a possibility.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">    <title>template</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us">
Header Text

PS: there is no such property as {float:top}
Also, auto right and left margins don't do anything unless the elements also has a set width (such as 800px or 80%, for example. Any units will do.)
also:there is no such thing as float:top; (only left | right | none) . If you were to float this element then margins-right/left:auto would not be applicable. here ONE an example of what I think you are trying to accomplish.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">   <title>template</title>

Header Text

to be honest , you ahve to take your whole code into consideration, as you should start to style only after you have structured your HTML around your content. ( for example... is the image content or deco rational, if it's content can it be considered part of the H1? ..etc etc..) hope that helps
Then there's the display:table technique that works in IE8+
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">    <title>ParfaitMacaron</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us">

Header Text

UPDATE: Just figured it out! I think you're all right in some ways!! It's because I didn't specify the width of my h1 that it stopped working when I was using the auto margin-left and margin-right!
Thank you for the welcome. Can you see the image now by any chance? Thanks for telling me there's no float:top property! That's embarrassing I thought it existed. I tried to pad it out by 12px but it doesn't shrink to fit the 1000px width I've set (header banner image). The h1 I'm trying to set is supposed to be in line with the 1000px width of the header.
Thank you for your reply. I googled how to centre a div and found this website: http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/center-div-block.shtml It worked and I think that is because my wrapper is set to 1000px width.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate the code example. I have coded up my index page with the div classes but for some reason I still can't get it right. I've tried your suggestions. My wrap is like yours, the header img is at the top of the page (how I want it) but I need the Home Page bar to fit in line with the header img.
Thank you for your help. I've tried to comment out some of my CSS and use a bit of your demo code but for some reason, I still can't get it to work.
The thing about HTML and CSS is that they work together. dresden_phoenix summed it up very nicely...
CSS and HTML not only depend on one another, they also depend on their own relatives, too. It takes a bit of experience before one learns how to copy bits and pieces from other code and use them in one's own.
For example, if you copy the full page examples presented above by dresden_phoenix or me, and paste them on a stand-alone page, they will all work. Each example is a stand-alone unit.
As your knowledge grows, you will learn how to selects features from one page and apply them to your own. In the beginning, before dismissing our examples as unworkable, be sure to give them a look on their own pages to see what we are demonstrating.
Everything exists in the context of its surroundings.
If you can post a link to your page, we will be happy to offer some guidance. Or, if you can post your HTML and CSS in a message, we can work with that, too. In your message, type
[/noparse] then paste your code here [noparse]
That will put it in a box with scroll bars (like ours above) and preserve formatting.
Without being able to see your code, everything we can offer at this stage is a "guess".
Best of luck!

Why These Three Men Are Part Of Your Soul
December 1997 | Volume 48, Issue 8
In Rourke's day research had uncovered barely a smattering of undiluted pre-Civil War black folklore. Prompted by necessity, Rourke made a typically maverick move. She located her "definite portraiture" of the Negro in minstrelsy, a genre almost universally regarded as deeply racist. The white minstrels' songs, dances, and stories bore unmistakable traces of black origin, she argued: "Negro humor was always abundant, and from it, early minstrelsy drew as from a primal source." Thomas D. Rice, the popularizer of Jim Crow, the minstrel prototype, and Dan Emmett, who claimed authorship of "Dixie" and "Old Dan Tucker," could "only have borrowed the [Negro] fables, probably with their tunes," said Rourke; Stephen Foster himself, the nineteenth century's greatest songwriter, "haunted Negro camp-meetings for rhythms and melodies." If one scraped away minstrelsy's racist distortions, one found it "deeply grounded in reality," its portrayals "whole and rich." Challenging the conventional opinion that suffering under slavery was unalleviated, Rourke inaugurated a view of the enslaved African-American as resilient, Aesopian, inventing ways to be human in an intolerable situation.
the lack of direct evidence forced Rourke's hand; it obliged her to play her strong suit. She was interested in interaction, not purity. If minstrelsy was a racist distortion, it became in Rourke's hands a rich and complex instance of the interpenetration of our several American strains, "of the long stream of expression," she wrote, "in which the white American and the Negro have joined." What she said of Dan Emmett—"Negro memories and fables had possessed his mind"—applies equally to white popular artists from Emmett and Rice to Al Jolson and Jimmy Rodgers to Elvis Presley and his English stepchildren Lennon and Jagger and beyond. Thomas D. Rice's immense popularity (his fame, Rourke tells us, was unmatched by any other comedian of his time) was only the first instance of an American phenomenon of which Elvis's discoverer, Sam Phillips, was well aware when he prayed, more than a century later, "Give me a white boy who sounds like a Negro and I'll make a million bucks."
The three figures merged in the national imagination. The minstrel corked his face but donned a Yankee's redand-white striped pants and long-tailed blue coat, an early symbol of the emerging composite, Homo americanus . Backwoodsman and Negro, Rourke wrote, "danced the same jigs and reels; the breakdown was an invention which each might have claimed." The prima ballerina Taglioni turned up in a minstrel song, just one instance of the cultural stew the new nation was brewing up. Rolling westward our geographical boundary became a cultural frontier too.
first half Rourke had proved that America had a folk tradition and a potent one. What remained was to show how this seed took flower as art, how the groundwork wrought by our anonymous bards—the monologue, the rhapsody, the tale, laced with the fantastic and spun on the improviser's loom—in turn informed our literary classics. Rourke went looking to find the comic trio at play in the fields of literature.
Some of her findings jar at first—Poe a cousin to the backwoodsman?—but Rourke was interested in correspondences of mood, not subject matter. Given Poe's wild flights of grotesque humor, the fit was right (documented too; with her typical thoroughness Rourke dug up an enthusiastic notice by Poe of A. B. Longstreet's Georgia Tales , a classic of backwoods humor). Emerson was a monologist with a streak of Yankee humor, an improviser of whom George Santayana once wrote, "He was like a young god making experiments in creation: he blotched the work, and always began on a new and better plan." Thoreau, another Yankee monologist, prided himself on driving a good bargain. He was always calculating, reckoning; one thinks of those expense lists in Waiden, of'his comically deliberate effort to measure the pond's depth.
Melville transformed sea lore into art, his great novel fueled by seamen's legends of "Mocha Dick," the murderous whale. Twain was a raconteur whose first famous work "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was a backwoods tale he'd appropriated. Twain's talent "was consistently a pioneer talent." He was "never the conscious artist, always the improviser." Whitman had the backwoodsman's vaulting high spirits, his "barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world" an urban echo of Crockett's self-intoxicated crowing. "To enter the world of Whitman," wrote Rourke, "is to touch the spirit of American popular comedy." The Whitman chapter is one of American Humor's best drawn and most deeply felt. Whitman's poems were sometimes "more notations for poetry than poetry itself. … he failed to draw his immeasurable gift into the realm of great and final poetry. For the most part he remained an improviser of immense genius." Yet he refined backwoods rhapsody into art.

Myomere are the blocks of skeletal muscle tissue found commonly in chordates. They are commonly zig-zag, "W" or "V"-shaped muscle fibers. The myomeres are separated from adjacent myomere by connective tissues and most easily seen in larval fishes or in the olm. Myomere counts are sometimes used for identifying specimens, since their number corresponds to the number of vertebrae in the adults.

Holster for Glock17
To be carried with on in the chamber. I know not the safest but looking for a holster that would give me that option if the need arose.
Thanks in advance. |

any holster that covers the triggergaurd.
I know thats not a very good answer but its not a very specific question. Google "glock holsters" and look around. until you have more specific requirements any holster will fit your bill. I hope this doesnt come off as sarcastic in text. i dont mean it that way at all. Try This: heres the sarcastic part. http://www.onesourcetactical.com/zac...ntholster.aspx |

Good answer, I am ignorant of this because I never really thought I would want to carry one in the chamber.
Just didn't know if there was anyone out there that does carry like this and has a holster preference. |

I have both Blade Tech kydex and Millt Sparks leather holsters for mine, and both work well.
I also have a couple of the the trigger guard type like the one in the link (no that specific model though), they work, but I find them to be a distraction in the draw. Dont get to nervous about carrying a Glock loaded. People do it all the time, even without a holster. As long as youre reasonably safe with your gun handling, its really not an issue.

Is this your first carry holster?
Do you want to carry inside waist, outside, paddle holster? There are a great many holsters for the block family, if you can give any insight as to how you think you want to carry that will help narrow the field.

You might take a look at Fist holsters. I've always found them to be very high quality and not overly expensive. Try www.fist-inc.com.

One other thing: Based on my personal experience, good, quality leather holsters are preferable to cheesy nylon holsters. If you carry every day [as you should], the el cheapo nylon rig that was so affordable won't last long. By contrast, a leather holster from a reputable manufacturer will last many years. I can't speak about Kydex holsters, no experience with those; but from the outside looking in, a lot of folks sure seem satisfied with them.

Striker fired pistol without ambi or manual safety levers...
For some striker fired pistols like the Glock, XD, Walther P99, SD9, etc, I suggest a well made holster that fully covers the trigger guard but does not touch or block the pistol's trigger.
The SFS holster could work but the Blackhawk SERPA or ALS designs seem to be less than ideal. Traditional thumb break styles can do okay but the polymer/kydex offer a lot. You must consider issues like speed, draws & security/retention. ClydeFrog |

Moon says "Cheese" for lunar mini-camera
Since its launch in September 2003, the small but remarkable SMART-1 satellite has been silently spiralling its way to the Moon. In mid November, it will be captured by lunar gravity and next January it will reach its final orbit and start science observations. This week EuroNews talks to the SMART-1 AMIE camera team.
SMART-1 is a technology demonstrator into which the European Space Agency has packed many innovative space techniques to be used on future interplanetary missions. Above all, it has validated a solar-powered ion engine as the main propulsion system, used for the first time on a European science satellite.
Compactness and miniaturisation are key features of SMART-1 and its science instruments. EuroNews 'Space' magazine has met two of the Swiss astronomers behind its miniature lunar colour camera called AMIE.
The AMIE camera has already demonstrated its qualities during the journey to the Moon. It has looked back and taken vivid pictures of mother Earth. It also observed from space the total lunar eclipse on 28 October.
In a few weeks time, the AMIE camera will be opening more new ground, snapping the Moon in colour at close quarters and from a variety of viewing angles. Scientists will be getting unique data that will help them better understand its composition and how it was formed. One thing is sure: the Moon will have to smile for the AMIE camera!
EuroNews is a key medium for delivering international information with a European point of view. Broadcast in 79 countries, EuroNews reaches 144 million households in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and North and Latin America via cable, digital satellite and through terrestrial channels.
This Space Magazine is produced and broadcast every two weeks, with a new programme starting every second Friday. Each magazine is four minutes long and broadcast 21 times in one week, including evening prime time on Fridays and Saturdays, in order to reach a maximum audience.

Acoustic Waves - From Microdevices to Helioseismology
Edited by Marco G. Beghi, ISBN 978-953-307-572-3, 666 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published November 14, 2011 under CC BY 3.0 license
Edited Volume
The concept of acoustic wave is a pervasive one, which emerges in any type of medium, from solids to plasmas, at length and time scales ranging from sub-micrometric layers in microdevices to seismic waves in the Sun's interior. This book presents several aspects of the active research ongoing in this field. Theoretical efforts are leading to a deeper understanding of phenomena, also in complicated environments like the solar surface boundary. Acoustic waves are a flexible probe to investigate the properties of very different systems, from thin inorganic layers to ripening cheese to biological systems. Acoustic waves are also a tool to manipulate matter, from the delicate evaporation of biomolecules to be analysed, to the phase transitions induced by intense shock waves. And a whole class of widespread microdevices, including filters and sensors, is based on the behaviour of acoustic waves propagating in thin layers. The search for better performances is driving to new materials for these devices, and to more refined tools for their analysis.

I predict vastly superior performance for the PS4 compared to a PC of the same price because of the dedicated hardware.

Flashback: Top 10 Career Moves for Judith Miller
Editor's note: As the fallout from the Plame Affair keeps showering down, the New York Times announced today that reporter Judith Miller has retired from the paper. As WNBC reported:
She spent 85 days in jail over the summer for refusing to testify about her conversations with [Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Scooter Libby]. But after her release, Miller was criticized harshly and publicly by Times editors and writers for her actions in the CIA leak case and for her reporting during the run-up to the Iraq war, later discredited, indicating that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Back in October, when her departure was still merely rumored to be on the way, contributor Jason Vest posted a few suggestions for what Miller could do with the rest of her life.

In the wake of both her release from jail and The New York Times' Sunday post-mortem, everyone's asking what's next for reporter Judith Miller. Some possibilities:
1. Becomes recipient of new Prisoner of Conscience Chair at American Enterprise Institute (endowed by Conrad Black and Richard Perle, using money from dubious Hollinger dealings); as a sideline, opens "Iraqi National Cafe" just outside AEI's Wohlstetter Auditorium with Laurie Mylroie
2. Founds First Amendment Center for Reporters Who are Covering for Government Sources Conspiring to Attack Whistleblowers
3. Incorporates Pedicures for Prisoners, an advocacy groups for the right of incarcerated elite journalists to get a little pampering while waiting for grand jury terms to expire
4. Writes series of books, including memoir (Guns, Germs and Steel Bars) and how-to book on subverting U.S. newspaper of record (Valerie Plame Has 99 Names)
5. Eventually, Lou Dobbs and others come to their senses and stop uncritically venerating her; backlash become so intense that she desires anonymity and, fondly recalling her run-in in Aspen with Scooter Libby, drifts out West and quietly finds work as rodeo clown
6. After Karen Hughes fails, becomes next Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy
7. Gets job offer to join crack fake-news team at "The Daily Show." (Memo to Jon Stewart: Watch your desk)

Redding Model 1400-XT Case Trimming Lathe
Model #1400-XT Case Trimming Lathe uses a cast iron frame that has been
extended to handle all the latest long action cartridges. The frame is
cast iron because it is a perfect bearing surface, will not wear out and
will maintain its precision and alignment for years of service.
case trimmer was designed using precision lathe principles. The TiN
coated cutter is held stationary while the case is turned; this produces
cases that are perfectly square, resulting in increased accuracy from
your handloads
Redding Model 2400 Match Precision Case Trimming Lathe
The most noteworthy feature of the Model #2400 Case Trimming Lathe is the new Micrometer which adds precision and repeatability to the case length adjustment. Changes as little as .001" can be easily "dialed in". The innovative new push button chuck lock simplifies loading and unloading while facilitating perfect alignment of the case and pilot. The design of the new push button chuck lock, combined with the extended cast iron frame of the Model #1400-XT, increases case length capacity; accommodating not only the latest long action cartridges but old time classics as well.
Redding Model #2 Bullet & Powder Scale
and manufactured with the utmost attention to accuracy and sensitivity
standards. The Model 2 scale includes a magnetic dampened beam swing for
extra fast readings plus, hardened and ground knife edges ride in
precision milled stainless steel bearing seats that will not crack, chip
or lose their alignment.
The graduated plate at the beam
pointer is marked in 1/10 grain increments for easy reading of over or
under charges. This eliminates the need to move the counterpoises to
check powder charge variations.
Redding scale manufactured is still individually tested and adjusted to
U.S. Bureau of Standards Approved Master Weights, and guaranteed
accurate to less than 1/10 grain!
Redding Model #3 Powder Measure
original Redding Model 3, time proven for accuracy and reliability. It
has a micrometer metering chamber right in front for easy setting and
reading. With this micrometer it is possible to record your favorite
settings and return to the same place weeks later when you wish to
create the same load. Precision machined cast iron to give you years and
years of service.
The hand honed
fit between the frame and hard surfaced drum enables all Redding Powder
Measures to easily cut and meter even the most difficult powders.
Arbor press
The Arbor Press was designed specifically for use with hand
dies, both in the field and on your workbench. It does not need to be
clamped down for use. This arbor press features quality construction
throughout and fits easily into your reloading box for trips to the
range. Constructed with a solid stainless steel post and featuring a
stainless steel rack and pinion design, the Sinclair arbor press functions
flawlessly with all neck sizing and bullet seating hand dies. Ratchet
style height adjustment knob allows easy raising and lowering of the
press head position. The Sinclair Press is also sold as part of a
complete hand die reloading kit. This press is not intended for use
with full length resizing dies.Shown with Wilson inline dies.
Wilson Neck Dies
The neck dies are designed so the user can control and or change the amount of neck sizing the cartridge case receives. The dies use interchangeable sizing bushings that size the outside of the case neck. The conventional expander is eliminated, improving concentricity and prolonging brass life. The die is used with an arbor press. All Wilson neck dies size the neck to 3 sixteenths inch from the mouth end, a practice many shooters prefer. Bushings are not included. Dies include a decapping rod.
Wilson Inline Bullet Seater
The Wilson chamber type bullet seater is a favorite among benchrest shooters. A chamber type bullet seater positively controls both bullet and cartridge case alignment. The case and bullet are completely captured by the die prior to the bullet being pushed straight into the case by a close-fitting seating stem. This style of bullet seater works more accurately than a conventional 7/8 inch to 14 bullet seating die. This is one of the most accurate bullet seaters ever made!

Wilson Stainless Case Trimmer
shown with optional Clamping Mount available separately
This trimmer is unique, compared to most, because of the way the case is held during the trimming operation. Correct alignment is assured since the cartridge case is supported by the case body in holders which simulate a rifle chamber. Cases are trimmed squarely regardless of offset heads or varying neck diameters. The positive stop assures uniform length. Cases are held in the holders by their body taper; just drop the case in the holder and tap the case head end on a hardwood block. Remove the case by tapping the mouth on the block. Cartridges with little or no body taper may require different holders for fired and new cases. If neither type is specified we will send holders for fired cases. The trimmer may also be used for removing military primer crimps by adding optional tooling. A power adapters for drills or power screwdrivers is available as an option. The trimmer is best held in a vise, or mounted on a Trimmer Mount sold separately.
Micrometer for Wilson Case Trimmer
The Micrometer Attachment can be purchased separately for those reloaders that already own a Wilson Trimmer. It is easy to install and zero on your Wilson Case Trimmer. The micrometer has clear, crisp engravings and can be locked in place after being set. It is adjustable in increments of .001 inch and can be adjusted to handle cases ranging from a 22 Hornet to a 416 Rigby. The Micrometer attachment makes adjusting your Wilson trimmer a couple seconds process instead of the trial and error adjusting process experienced with most other case trimmers.
Wilson Rifle Case Holders
Wilson rifle case holders enable reloaders to trim rifle cases using the Wilson Trimmer. Available for most standard cartridges.
Wilson Cartridge Case Gauges
The most important use of a cartridge case gage is for setting up 7/8"-14 press type full length resizing dies. A common error in reloading is to oversize your brass. Head space of fired cases can quickly and accurately be measured using this tool and a pair of dial calipers.
This one piece gage will check overall length to indicate need for trimming, datum to head length to assure correct head space and to prevent over sizing. Available for most popular rimless cases.
Wilson Deburring Tool
The Wilson Case Mouth Deburring Tool is a 45-degree double-ended tool that deburs/chamfers the inside and outside edge of the case mouth. All cases should be deburred when new, after case trimming, and after neck turning. This tool will handle cases from .17 caliber to .45 calibre.
Deburring Tool Holder
Remove burrs from your cases efficiently with the Deburring Tool Holder and your case mouth deburring tool. Use in a slow speed drill or power screwdriver to quickly debur your case mouths. Machined from stainless steel, this holder will work with Wilson and RCBS deburring tools.
Bullet Comparator
The Bullet comparator attaches to the blade of your caliper and uses inserts for each caliber. The inserts are stainless steel and are machined with a taper and a short straight section to more accurately duplicate the rifle chamber and eliminate the wobble found on some comparators with drilled holes. This design allows you to more quickly and accurately measure the bullet's bearing surface length as well as the length of a loaded round to the bearing surface of the bullet. Comparator inserts are available in 17 through 45 calibre, and can also be used in the current Hornady and older Stoney Point comparator bodies. These inserts are not intended to measure rounds seated to magazine length or shorter. For this application ask for our Hex Nut type comparators. INSERTS SOLD SEPARATELY.
Hex Nut Type Bullet Comparator
Bullet Comparators enable the handloader to measure the bullet's ogive (or as close as possible) instead of measuring the tip. These gauges are extremely useful, since bullets in the same box will vary in length from base to tip, but usually will not vary much from base to ogive. Bullet comparators are invaluable when setting up seating dies.
The holes in the Hex Nut version Bullet Comparators are cut with throating reamers to more accurately duplicate the actual throat of the rifle. The comparator is used with the dial calipers, and allows the reloader to accurately measure the length from the major diameter of the bullet to the case head. It also enables you to make accurate seating depth changes to your bullet seater. The Comparator does not attach to your calipers, so your calipers are free for other measurements. Machined from stainless steel.
There are two different sizes of the Hex Nut Comparators that cover bullets from .17 caliber to .338 caliber. The first model (09600) features holes bored and throated for .224, 6mm, .257, 6.5mm (.264), 7mm, and 308.
The second model (09700) has holes throated for .172, .204, .224, .270, .308, and .338.
Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ Case Tumbler
The Frankford Arsenal Case Tumbler provides a quick, easy, and economical means to clean your brass. Used in conjunction with Frankford Arsenal Walnut and Corn Cob Medias, the Quick-N-EZ Case Tumbler removes fouling, lube, and oxidation quickly and conveniently. It will hold up to 600 9mm or 350 223 cases. (media available separately)
The Satern "NO STATIC" powder funnels are caliber specific and sit on the top of your cases without other support. The aluminum body is completely static free so powder flows into the case without bridging. They are suitable for use with smokeless and black powder, as the funnel will not cause static sparks.

Executive Summary: A federal trial court in Minnesota recently granted summary judgment in favor of Northwest Airlines on an employee's discrimination claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), holding that the airline did not regard the employee as disabled. See Sanchez v. Northwest Airlines (May 1, 2012). The court held that the fact that Northwest required the employee to undergo an accommodation assessment when he switched bases did not establish that the airline regarded him as disabled.
Sanchez was employed by Northwest as an equipment service employee (ESE). During his employment, Sanchez injured his knee and ultimately had a knee replacement. Subsequently, Sanchez submitted a statement from his physician identifying his physical restrictions, which included being unable to squat, crawl, climb ladders, run, lift more than 75 pounds or perform "fine hand" work. Sanchez was able to continue to work in the ESE position because Northwest accommodated him by excusing him from certain duties such as loading and unloading baggage inside the bins of narrow-body aircraft.
In 2007, Sanchez was awarded the Lead ESE position in the Honolulu Airport; however, Northwest later removed him from this position because he could not perform one of the essential functions of the position – loading and unloading baggage from narrow-body aircraft. Sanchez then obtained a revised letter from his doctor stating that his only work restrictions were running and lifting over 75 pounds. This revised letter was significantly different from the letter he previously submitted. Although Northwest did not reinstate Sanchez to the Lead ESE position, it informed him that he could bid on the next open position and that it would consider the new restrictions at that time. Sanchez filed a grievance over the airline's refusal to reinstate him to the Lead ESE position and subsequently filed suit in federal court, claiming the denial violated the ADA. While his lawsuit was pending, Sanchez bid on and received the Lead ESE position in Honolulu.
ADA Claim
The ADA prohibits employers from taking an adverse employment action against an employee because of disability[1]. To establish a claim under the ADA, a plaintiff is required to show that (1) he has a disability within the meaning of the ADA; (2) he is qualified to perform the essential functions of the position sought, with or without reasonable accommodation, and (3) he was denied this position because of his or her disability. If the plaintiff makes this showing, the employer is required to articulate a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for its action. If the employer does so, the plaintiff must show that the employer's proffered reason for the employment action was pretextual.
Sanchez was not Disabled
The court held that Northwest was entitled to summary judgment because Sanchez could not show he was disabled within the meaning of the ADA. The court rejected Sanchez' argument that Northwest regarded him as disabled, which is one of the ways a plaintiff can establish he or she is entitled to protection under the ADA[2].
An individual is regarded as disabled if the employer mistakenly believes that he has an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or mistakenly believes that an actual, non-limiting impairment substantially limits the employee's ability to perform one or more major life activities. Sanchez claimed Northwest mistakenly believed that his knee injury substantially limited him in the major life activities of performing manual tasks and working.
Sanchez argued that a reasonable jury could find that Northwest believed his earlier restrictions were permanent. However, Sanchez presented no evidence that those perceived restrictions would have severely restricted his ability to perform tasks of central importance to daily life. The court noted that Sanchez testified that he was not impaired in his daily life. Further the court held that there was no evidence that Northwest regarded Sanchez's restrictions as limiting his ability to care for himself or others, do household chores, or perform other types of manual tasks that are centrally important to daily life.
Additionally, Sanchez presented no evidence that a person with the restrictions he claimed he was regarded as having would be unable to perform a broad class of jobs. The court noted that Sanchez did not identify a single job, other than the Lead ESE position, that these restrictions precluded him from holding or that Northwest believed he was precluded from holding.
The court also held that the fact that Northwest required Sanchez to undergo an accommodation assessment when he switched bases between Honolulu and Minneapolis and granted him various accommodations did not establish that Northwest regarded him as unable to perform a broad class of jobs. "There is simply no evidence that Northwest regarded Sanchez as being unable to perform a broad class of jobs – or, for that matter, any job other than Lead ESE."
Accordingly, because no reasonable jury could find that Sanchez was disabled within the meaning of the ADA, the court granted Northwest's motion for summary judgment.
[2] An employee is disabled for purposes of the ADA if: (1) he is actually disabled – that is, he has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity; (2) he has a record of such an impairment; or (3) he is regarded as having such an impairment.
Executive Summary: A federal trial court in Texas has held that the National Mediation Board (NMB) should have required a 50% showing of interest before holding an election to determine the representative of American Airlines' passenger-service employees. American Airlines, Inc. v. Nat'l Mediation Bd., 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 86775 (N.D. Tex. June 22, 2012). The court also issued a permanent injunction prohibiting the direction of an election without a 50% showing of interest from these employees.
On February 14, 2012, Congress enacted the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act (FAA Act), which revised the RLA to change the showing of interest requirement for conducting an election from 35% to 50% of the employees in the applicable craft or class.
In December 2011 the Communication Workers of American (CWA) filed an application with the NMB for certification as the representative of American's passenger-service employees and the NMB issued an order in April 2012 directing an election. Subsequently, American filed a motion with the NMB asking the Board to reconsider its decision on the ground that the Board improperly applied the 35% showing-of-interest standard instead of the FAA Act's 50% standard. Ultimately, the Board declined to reconsider its decision and entered an order allowing the election process to proceed.
American then filed a motion with the federal court in Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that the NMB is prohibited by the RLA from directing an election among the passenger-service employees without a 50% showing of interest. The court granted American's motion.
The court held that the NMB should have applied the 50% standard when it considered the CWA's application. According to the court, the fact that the CWA filed its application before the effective date of the FAA Act was irrelevant because the Act was effective when the NMB ruled on the application. Thus, because the NMB's order directing an election was based on the 35% standard, the court set aside that order.
The court further held that it had jurisdiction to hear this dispute because the NMB misapplied the plain text of the FAA Act and thereby acted in excess of its delegated authority by ordering the election.
Additionally, the court issued a permanent injunction prohibiting the NMB from directing an election or conducting any of the pre-election activities necessary to hold an election to determine who should represent the passenger-service employees without a 50% showing of interest from these employees. The court noted that the permanent injunction is not as broad as the temporary restraining order the court issued on June 13 and "is not intended to affect any employee or organization's rights to organize and seek signed showings of interest from American's passenger-service employees or to prevent the Board from taking any steps consistent with its statutory and regulatory authority to allow additional time for an organization to gather sufficient showings of interest to achieve the fifty-percent requirement."
Executive Summary: The National Mediation Board (NMB) has published a revision to its previously issued Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) clarifying that it will authorize a run-off election only in elections where three or more options receive a valid vote.
On May 15, the NMB issued a NPRM to revise the Board's election rules to comply with the amendments to the RLA in the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the FAA Act), which went into effect on February 14, 2012. The proposed rule addressed the NMB's rulemaking authority, the procedure for run-off elections, and the showing of interest required for an unrepresented craft or class. In the May 15 NPRM, the NMB appeared to be proposing a change in its procedures in the event that there is a tie between those voting for and those voting against representation. Under current practice, in such a situation the union's application would be dismissed.
The initial proposed rule stated, "[i]f in an election among any craft or class no option receives a majority of the legal votes cast, or in the event of a tie vote, the Board shall authorize a run-off election." This led us to question whether the NMB intended to hold a run-off election between the two highest vote-getters if the tie was between a union and "no representation." For example, if out of 100 votes cast, 50 voted for the union on the ballot, 0 wrote-in another representative, and 50 voted for no representation, the union's application would be dismissed under the NMB's past practice, but would seemingly lead to a run-off election between the union and "no representation" under the proposed rule.
On June 7, the NMB published a revision to its NPRM correcting the language of the May 15 proposed rule with regard to this issue. The NMB's publication states that "Rule 1206.1 only applies in elections where 3 or more options receive valid votes." The revised language states: "In an election among any craft or class where three or more options (including the option for no representation) receive valid votes, if no option receives a majority of the legal votes cast, or in the event of a tie vote, the Board shall authorize a run-off election." Based on this clarification, if out of 100 votes cast, 50 voted for the union on the ballot, 0 wrote-in another representative, and 50 voted for no representation, the union's application would be dismissed. But if, out of 100 votes cast, 45 voted for the union on the ballot, 10 wrote-in another representative, and 45 voted for no representation, the NMB would authorize a run-off election between the two highest vote-getters – the union and the carrier ("no representation").
Executive Summary: The Eighth Circuit recently upheld the arbitrability of a pilot's Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state law disability discrimination claims against his former employer, Air Transport International (ATI). See Thompson v. Air Transport Int'l, LLC, 664 F.3d 723 (8th Cir. 2011). The court's decision affirms that of a federal trial court, which rejected the pilot's argument that the arbitration provision contained in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between his union and ATI was invalid because it was joined with an illegal and non-severable waiver of his FMLA claims.
The pilot's employment with ATI was governed by the CBA between IBT (the union that represented the pilots) and ATI. The pilot claimed ATI discharged him in retaliation for taking FMLA-protected leave and also claimed a violation of the state disability discrimination law. The trial court dismissed his complaint, finding it was subject to the mandatory arbitration agreement contained in the CBA between IBT and ATI. The pilot admitted the arbitration clause subjected his complaint to mandatory arbitration; however, he claimed that the arbitration clause was part of an unconscionable and non-severable waiver of his FMLA claims.
The Eighth Circuit rejected this argument, holding that the CBA did not purport to waive the pilot's FMLA remedies. The arbitration agreement stated, in part:
[C]laims of discrimination arising within the employment relationship between the Company and the Crewmembers, whether such claims are made under the collective bargaining agreement or in state or federal court and alleged to be violations of state or federal law. . . . are to be addressed, resolved and finalized solely under Section V – Grievance and/or [Section] VI – Arbitration of the Agreement as by the terms of the Collective Bargaining [Agreement] each Crewmember waives each and every cause of action and remedies provided under these statutes and common law frameworks.
The pilot argued that the last portion of the agreement, stating "each Crewmember waives each and every cause of action and remedies provided under these statutes and common law frameworks" was an unlawful waiver of his FMLA claims. The court held, however, that when read in conjunction with the CBA, which expressly retained the FMLA rights of crewmembers, it was clear that the agreement was a "waiver of a judicial forum," not a waiver of the pilot's FMLA claims. The court noted that a waiver of a judicial forum is not a waiver of claims, but is instead a waiver of the right to seek relief from a court.
Relying on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett, 129 S. Ct. 1456 (2009), the court held that "[p]arties can waive the judicial forum as an avenue for bringing federal statutory claims and state anti-discrimination claims as part of a mandatory arbitration agreement." The court further noted that an arbitration agreement subjecting certain statutory claims to arbitration "must be honored" unless the statute reflects an intent to take the claims out of the realm of claims that may be subjected to mandatory arbitration. The court held that the pilot's FMLA and state disability discrimination law claims "can be subject to a mandatory arbitration provision." Accordingly, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the lower court's order dismissing the pilot's claims.

Farsightedness, also called hyperopia, is the inability of the eye to focus on nearby objects and sometimes on distant objects also. This occurs because the light entering the eye is focused behind the retina instead of directly on it.
Farsightedness occurs when an eye is too short lengthwise, the cornea is not curved enough, or the lens sits farther back in the eye than normal.
Eyeglasses or contact lenses are used most often to correct farsightedness. In some cases surgery can improve vision.

In the study, researchers followed their study subjects from birth to their 20s and found a connection between their attachment style as infants and how they recovered from conflict in adult romantic relationships. The 20-something couples were asked to talk about a topic they disagreed on and then had a cool down period where they had a conversation about something they were in sync on. The researchers noticed that some partners had heated conflicts and yet were able to smoothly transition into chatting about a topic they agreed on, while in other partnerships, one or both partners would ruminate on the conflict topic, unable to get past the disagreement. Researchers found that people who had secure attachments to their caregivers as infants were better at moving past conflicts with their romantic partners two decades later.
But all is not lost if you or your husband didn't have the most stable, reassuring parents growing up. You can still have a healthy relationship if one partner is secure and able to disengage from an argument rather than dwelling on a heated disagreement. According to the study author, "We found that people who were insecurely attached as infants but whose adult romantic partners recover well from conflict are likely to stay together. If one person can lead this process of recovering from conflict, it may buffer the other person and the relationship."
Fostering Healthy Communication
You and your partner are going to fight now and then. That's a given. But while you may not always have control over what sets you off, you have control over how you handle the situation. By taking a deep breath and employing these smart strategies, you can keep your relationship in (healthy) fighting shape.
Read Are You Stuck in a Dating Rut? Here's How to Stop Falling for Mr. Wrong
Stay on point. What exactly are you fighting for? And no, "being right" doesn't count as an objective. "Healthy, positive communication in any relationship should start with the following: respect, consideration, empathy, an open mind and a calm tone," notes Burke. "The next step requires each person to consider their objectives before communicating thoughts and feelings with the other."
Being clear on your purpose—whether it's asking for more help with chores around the house or convincing your mate that a new couch, not a ping-pong table, is a necessity in the household budget—keeps a quarrel from going into pointless (and sometimes) dangerous territory.
Adds Burke, "positive healthy communication is not confrontational or argumentative, rather it's an attempt to get what one needs from his or her partner with the clear understanding that we must be willing to give to get. Finally, the key to successful resolution is not to focus on the problem—old or new—but instead to focus on the resolution."
Watch your language. Research shows that choosing the right fighting words can keep an argument from turning nasty and sending stress levels skyrocketing. According to a study published the journal Health Psychology, couples who used cognitive processing words, such as "think," "consider," "understand," "because," or "reason," during heated arguments showed smaller increases of stress-related, inflammatory chemicals than pairs who didn't—and the effects lasted for more than 24 hours.

We are waiting for a better sugar solution to knowing which activity is "active". Using a focus listener to turn the camera on/off is unacceptable since showing the task frame causes a focus event (and shuts down the camera).

Yesterday we added an 'active' property to sugar.activity.Activity. The shell will set it to True or False when the user switches between activites. You can listen to changes on the 'notify::active' signal.

X can tell you when you are "visible", rather than having input focus. I would argue that etoys should use this as how to key on whether it should release the hardware than using focus.
I think it is unwise to have dependencies on Sugar when unnecessary, and I do not it think it necessary in this case.

This does not have to wait for Sugar.
As I pointed out in a camera bug on this issue, the ICCCM/EWMH documents define ways you can know you are visible or not.
So at least for many applications, they should be keying on visibility and not have to deal with any sugar information. This will help portability to non-sugar environments.
This won't always be true: but for activities where it does they should definitely use the standard X mechanisms and not any sugar mechanisms.
Chris, are there any offending applications at this time? If there are, there should be trac issues for each of them.

The Holy See divorces itself from 'forged' Jesus marriage fragment |
Reuters Sunday, September 30, 2012, 12:05 am TWN |
VATICAN CITY -- An ancient papyrus fragment which a Harvard scholar says contains the first recorded mention that Jesus may have had a wife is a fake, the Vatican said on Friday.
"Substantial reasons would lead one to conclude that the papyrus is indeed a clumsy forgery," the Vatican's newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said in an editorial by its editor, Gian Maria Vian. "In any case, it's a fake." Joining a highly charged academic debate over the authenticity of the text, written in ancient Egyptian Coptic, the newspaper published a lengthy analysis by expert Alberto Camplani of Rome's La Sapienza University, outlining doubts about the manuscript and urging extreme caution. The fragment, which reads "Jesus said to them, my wife" was unveiled by Harvard Professor Karen King as a text from the 4th century at a congress of Coptic Studies in Rome last week. Her study divided the academic community, with some hailing it as a landmark discovery while others rapidly expressed their doubts. "It's really pretty unlikely that it's authentic," University of Durham Professor Francis Watson told Reuters after he published a paper arguing the words on the fragment were a rearrangement of phrases from a well known Coptic text. Watson, who has previously worked on identifying forged gospels, said it was likely to be an ancient blank fragment that was written over in the 20th or 21st century by a forger seeking to make money. Watson argues the words on the fragment do not fit grammatically into a larger text. "It's possible to get hold of an old bit of un-written on papyrus and write some new stuff on it," Watson said. "There is a market for fake antiquities throughout the Middle East ... I would guess that in this case the motivation might have been a financial one." Academic Debate

The latest installment in the Wall Street Journal's invaluable (and Pulitzer Prize-worthy) What They Know series is a wake-up call for every one of the 800 million+ Facebookniks.
Selling You on Facebook
Many popular Facebook apps are obtaining sensitive information about users—and users' friends—so don't be surprised if details about your religious, political and even sexual preferences start popping up in unexpected places.
Not so long ago, there was a familiar product called software. It was sold in stores, in shrink-wrapped boxes. When you bought it, all that you gave away was your credit card number or a stack of bills.
Now there are "apps"—stylish, discrete chunks of software that live online or in your smartphone. To "buy" an app, all you have to do is click a button. Sometimes they cost a few dollars, but many apps are free, at least in monetary terms. You often pay in another way. Apps are gateways, and when you buy an app, there is a strong chance that you are supplying its developers with one of the most coveted commodities in today's economy: personal data.
Nut graf:
This appetite for personal data reflects a fundamental truth about Facebook and, by extension, the Internet economy as a whole: Facebook provides a free service that users pay for, in effect, by providing details about their lives, friendships, interests and activities. Facebook, in turn, uses that trove of information to attract advertisers, app makers and other business opportunities.
In other words: Facebook is the marketer. You are the product.
Get used to it.

Coping with disaster
MANTOLOKING, N.J. New Jersey's delicate barrier islands, long and slender strips of land cherished by generations of sunbathing vacationers and full-time residents alike, are a hazardous wasteland of badly eroded shore, ruined beachfront homes, flooded streets and damaged utilities.
Signs of the good life that had defined wealthy enclaves lie scattered and broken: $3,000 barbecue grills buried beneath the sand and hot tubs cracked and filled with seawater.
Nearly all the homes were seriously damaged, and many were destroyed – no trace of them left.
"This," said Harry Typaldos, owner of the Grenville Inn in Mantoloking, "I just can't comprehend."
Sandy killed 14 people in New Jersey.
Some parts of the shore might never look the same, Gov. Chris Christie said.
The governor joined President Barack Obama aboard Marine One on Wednesday afternoon for an aerial tour of the storm damage along the shore, the economic engine that powers New Jersey's $35.5 billion tourism industry.
"We are here for you," Obama said in Brigantine, N.J. "We are not going to tolerate red tape. We are not going to tolerate bureaucracy."
Nearly 48 hours after Sandy made landfall, most mass transit systems in the state were shut down, leaving hundreds of thousands of commuters braving clogged highways and quarter-mile lines at gas stations. Closed, too, were Atlantic City's casinos.
Nearly 20,000 residents were stranded in Hoboken, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, amid accusations that officials have been slow to deliver food and water. One man blew up an air mattress and floated to City Hall, demanding to know why supplies hadn't gotten out. Public Safety Director Jon Tooke defended the city's response, saying at least 25 percent of Hoboken remained underwater and that emergency personnel and the National Guard were working round-the-clock.
As far west as Wisconsin and south to the Carolinas, more than 6 million homes and businesses were still without power, including about 650,000 in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
The mayor said 500 patients were being evacuated from Bellevue Hospital because of storm damage. The hospital has run on generators since the storm.
Bloomberg also canceled school in the city for the rest of the week.
Still, there were signs that New York was flickering back to life and wasn't as isolated as it was a day earlier. Flights resumed at Kennedy and Newark airports on what authorities described as a very limited schedule. LaGuardia remained closed.
Amtrak said trains will start running in and out of New York again Friday.
Most Broadway shows returned for Wednesday matinees and evening shows.

Wildwood is the central destination town on the Jersey Shore island known collectively as "the Wildwoods." Essentially the center of the action, Wildwood is home to the majority of the island's famous boardwalk, as well as some of the area's wide, admission-free beaches. A variety of lodging properties line the boardwalk in Wildwood.
The Wildwoods are on a five-mile-long island toward the southernmost part of the Jersey Shore (just north of Cape May). In addition to Wildwood, you'll find Wildwood Crest to the south, North Wildwood to the north and Diamond Beach, south of Wildwood Crest. In Wildwood, the closest properties to the beach, many of which are motels, are concentrated along Ocean Avenue. Since the boardwalk stretches through the town of Wildwood, many of the town's oceanfront properties are located adjacent to the boardwalk, something that may not appeal to those looking for a quiet, relaxing stay and open, ocean views. The neighboring municipalities of North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest do have oceanfront hotels in quieter sections of the beach.
Oceanic Hotel
The Oceanic Hotel is directly across from the beach, boardwalk and Wildwood Convention Center. While you'll be able to see the beach, you may not be inclined to go there; the Oceanic has an outdoor pool with what it calls "the only swim-up bar in Wildwood," as well as the indoor, ocean-view Barefoot Bar. The pool area has lunch service and entertainment. In terms of rooms, you'll find two-room efficiencies, double rooms and queen rooms, offering offering park and ocean views.
Days Inn and Suites
Located in the same central area of Wildwood as the Oceanic, the Days Inn and Suites is an all-suites resort that offers two-bedroom suites and super-suites. Suites sleep up to six while super-suites sleep up to eight and have two bathrooms. Rooms are equipped with refrigerators, microwaves and two TVs. The property has two heated outdoor pools, two sundecks and barbecue grills.
North Wildwood/Wildwood Crest Options
If you move north or south of Wildwood proper, you'll find oceanfront resorts in quieter neighborhoods where you won't have to deal with the crowds and amusements of the boardwalk. In Wildwood Crest, properties like the Aqua Beach Resort and Waters Edge Resort offer oceanfront accommodations. The former is just a block away from the activity-filled section of the boardwalk, while the latter is a block farther south. In North Wildwood, resort properties like the Acropolis Oceanfront Resort, located toward the northernmost part of the island offer oceanfront accommodations away from the hustle and bustle of the boardwalk.

The Tethered Mass and Spring model shows a mass constrained to move in the x-direction by a horizontal rod and connected to a spring of natural length L = 10. One end of the spring is connected to a movable (draggable) ceiling and the other end is connected to the mass. Users can drag the mass along the rod and users can control the height of the ceiling H by dragging which changes the stretch of the spring. The height H, the spring constant k, and the natural length of the spring L can also be adjusted using the sliders at the bottom of the position vs. time graph.

UTEP Rifle Falls in Season Opening Match
Oct. 14, 2012 Jacksonville, Ala. – The UTEP rifle team fell to Jacksonville State and Nevada this weekend in the opening match of the season. The Miners finished with an aggregate score of 4496, firing 2266 in air rifle and 2230 in smallbore. Sophomore Jennifer Armendariz was UTEP's top shooter in air rifle match posting 588, tying Cole Tucker of the Jacksonville State's men's team. UTEP's Hannah Muegge registered 571 and junior Korina Rodriguez started her season off strong by recording 575. Junior Areli Oros was not far behind, posting 532 in the air rifle. "Jenny (Armendariz) shot a solid air rifle and Korina was rock solid," head coach George Brenzovich said. "This match will be a year characterized of growth and achievement." The smallbore competition went to JSU's Monica Fyfe with a 582. Rodriguez posted a smallbore score of 572 with Armendariz just behind her with 568 and Muegge with 561. Oros marked a 529 in her career debut in the smallbore competition. JSU claimed three of the top five spots in both competitions, giving the Gamecocks a 4648 win in the triangular that included Nevada. The Wolfpack came in second with 4606. The Miners continue on the road next Saturday, October 20, against TCU in Fort Worth, Texas.

text: Turn an Ikea Shelf into a Hidden Charging StationDavid Galloway9/18/11 3:00pmFiled to: HouseholdBatteryDIYDiy charging stationIkeaikea hacks8EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink German blogger Kitesurfer added a few innovative touches when building a charging station into an Ikea Expedit Bookcase. The charging station involves creating a chipboard panel to cover a power strip leaving the cables feeding through the panel to the cubby. Kitesurfer takes this basic design a step further by adding digital picture frame displaying various battery charge images. Another interesting feature is that the power strip plugs into an outlet switch so it can be turned off when not in use to eliminate vampire power loads. This hack will work in just about any type of bookcase or shelving, but the Ikea Expedit is a popular fixture for Ikea hacking that we've covered several times, so if you choose that you may be able to combine a charging station with another hack.
