Henrik Lundqvist stopped 34 shots and Martin St. Louis finally scored with his new team as the New York Rangers defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 3-1, on Tuesday.
Daniel Carcillo and Benoit Pouliot also scored for the Rangers, who have won seven of eight and now hold a three-point lead over the Flyers for second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Ryan Kesler had the only goal of the game for the Canucks, who have dropped their past three games. Eddie Lack gave up all three goals on 31 shots.
New York scored just 4:59 into the game as a scrum in front saw Carcillo eventually jam it in for his fourth of the season.
The Rangers made it a 2-0 game at 14:43 of the first on the power play after a rebound went to the left circle where Derick Brassard fired it over to the right and Pouliot snapped it in.
Vancouver cut its deficit to 2-1 at 6:21 of the second as a right circle faceoff win by Kesler saw Daniel Sedin get the puck, passing it over to the slot where Kesler one-timed it home.
Acquired on March 5 from the Lightning, St. Louis had gone 14 games without a goal, but that streak came to an end halfway through the third with his team shorthanded.
The puck came out of the New York end as Rick Nash picked up the puck and skated down the left wing on a 2-on-1. Nash sent the puck over to the right and St. Louis roofed it in for his 30th goal of the season and a 3-1 lead.

Looking toward the worst case scenario for the swine flu pandemic, virologists in Lyon are attempting to create a virus as contagious as swine flu and as deadly as avian flu. Is it time to call in Bruce Willis yet?
Researchers at the Jean Mérieux/INSERM facility in Lyon, France, are working with the highly contagious H1N1 virus and its more lethal relation H5N1, better known as the avian flu. The scientists are attempting to determine if H1N1 could reassort with H5N1, blending their genetic material, and whether a resulting virus could have the worst traits of the original viruses.
There's a method behind creating this superflu. The facility has been working to anticipate the path current and future pandemics might take so that precautions and treatments can be developed. The team is attempting to determine when reassortment between the two viruses would produce a viable product, and which reassortments — if any — are likely to occur.
Jean Mérieux/INSERM is a biosecurity level four facility, and the researchers must wear spacesuit-like hazmat attire when in the lab, but the researchers must watch out for scratches and bites from the mice and ferrets used to test the virulence and transmissibility of the viruses.

We can feed the world sustainably
08 September 2012 | Audio
Changing climate and declining biodiversity pushes the limits of food supply and at the broader level of human security. In light of this and with the prediction that human population will increase to 9 billion by 2050, the issue of food supply is a hotly-debated topic and the focus of the second World Leaders Dialogue convened today at the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Five prominent figures from government, the scientific community, conservation and the private sector shared their expertise, wisdom and opinions on a range of concerns related to food production including the role of technology, energy consumption and agriculture.
The message was clear from the lively dialogue; the security of food supply is dependent on equitable and sustainable use of natural resources.
"We have the capacity to equitably and sustainably feed the world, we just have to do it," said Ms Camilla Toulmin, Director of the International Institute for Environment and Development.
The panel also discussed various solutions that can help solve some of the hunger problems faced by some communities today but also considering the health of the environment. Solutions highlighted included expansion of options on food sources, change in consumption patterns and changing the type of production for food products.
The role of scientific technology in agriculture, especially in the case of genetically modified crops drew a lot of interest from the audience.
The panel was concluded by Ms Solange Marquez Espinoza, journalist, political analyst and the moderator of the dialogue.

To each his own' holds true when creating the Contemporary décor style for your home. Trends change with time and your home reflects your taste and style. Tribal décor is very much in vogue and nothing like a blend of modern with a subtle touch of tribal influence to bring out the exotic creations coming in from some tribal heritage. You don't have to go overboard by turning your home into a museum, but a few artifacts and some unique pieces can change the entire ambience into an exotic rustic environment.
India has many tribes, and you can have your pick of tribal themes from different parts of the country. African tribal décor and Native American décor are also very popular. When you think of the word 'Tribal', Africa is the first name that comes to your mind, and this has its own heritage passed down the generations. [Read more…]

Appreciating cricket's greatest legend ever - HD Bird...............Funniest post (intentionally) ever.....Runner-up.....Third.....Fourthcricket player"; "Bob"), 1/11/1990-15/4/2006
(Accidental) founder of Twenty20 Is Boring Society. Click and post to sign-up.
I will support India, but I have a feeling Pakistan will win.
-My beliefs summarized in words much more eloquent than I could come up with
How the Universe came from nothing
Let the best captain win .
Perhpas, now is the time
considering this amazing performance they totally deserve to win he cup...
Everyone who plays to their potential deserves to win
india has been lucky all along.
It takes more than luck to beat big teams ( England who are more pro in 20/20's, beating SA with a low score at home and beating the giant that too in a SEMI final )
their win against pak was a fluke.
On the contrary, Pak had won the game, India pulled a tie from jaws of defeat
and have lost a couple matches also
Hmm, Didn't they only lose to NZ , by just 10 runs
they dont even deserve to be in the final
Read my posts again
SA should have been in for India
With them in the Final, Pak wouldn't stand a chance. Atleast now, its 60/40
BTW, I too think Pak will win coz they have been focussed on this format since a long time and they would wanna give some respite to their fans after all the debacles in their team since last year
I sincerely hope if they win, they should dedicate it to Bob Woolmer - would be a nice touch that too in South Africa

Hoping for India's win... i'm not pessimistic so I'm going to say India will win.
The 'Objective' Outsiders
Dennis Lillee -
India slightfavourites but...
The planets have lined up and there is something very special on the menu at the Wanderers. One thing is certain, if the qualifiers are an indication, the action will be fast and furious.
Both teams are bristling with talent but I can't help feeling that the key to the game lies in the pocket of India's Yuvraj Singh....His meeting with Umar Gul...makes for an intriguing proposition. I would think India would start as slight favourites because of Yuvraj's red hot form but Pakistan openers Hafeez and Nazir are a valuable pairing.
The stage is set for a mouth watering contest.
Mike Hussey -
Difficult to say
Its really difficult to say who is going to win the tournament. ..both teams have played some superb cricket throughout the tournament. Both are confident balanced line ups and have great talents to make a match for each other.
Steve Waugh -
Form versus momentum - India are due
Both are entitled to feel that they are the ones who have the edge though Pakistan look like the form team with their bowlers coming good in every game.The more experienced members of the side like Shahid Afridi seem to be enjoying the team environment which is helping them to perform to their full potential. Like India, Pakistan too are playing without stalwarts. This is helping the lesser known players, who seem more comfortable in their own skin and are playing without the burden of expectations.
The story is not very different in the Indian camp. If Pakistan are the form side, then India are the ones with momentum. They have played some high intensity games in the tournament which has helped them improve with every outing. I also feel the Indians are due to a final victory. They have come close on a couple of occasions in the recent past, so maybe their time has come.
Those More emotionally involved
Imran Khan -
Difficult to choose
The heartening news is that both teams have new-look teams. They have given us an indication of the future and the good thing is that there is still plenty of talent in both countries.
It is difficult to choose favourites. They are both young sides with great energy and enthusiasm. All I can say is that the team that keeps the intensity going will win.
Wasim Akram -
Pakistan but...
I believe the new Pakistan team has it in them to beat anyone.....People have matured over time with the increasing ties between the two countries. Therefore, I dont expect them to react violently even if Pakistan lose
Rameez Raja -
Pakistan has the perfect combination to win the title. The team is oozing with confidence and the self belief in the people will be the key. Its a good sign that they have got into the habit of winning matches.
Ravi Shastri -
Even stevens
India and Pakistan start on even keel. Its amazing how (One of the) teams that were knocked out so early in the ODI World Cup will actuallly lift the trophy on Monday night.
Madan Lal -
No opinion
Let's not compare the two teams(India 1983 and India 2007). The present (Indian) team is doing well. Dhoni should be appreciated for his cptaincy skills and looks well cut out for the job. I wish him and the team avery good luck.
Roger Binny -
There ia world of difference between the two teams . We were no where compared to the Australians but beating them in the semis was a big boost for us. The present side looks unstoppable
Balwinder Sandhu -
India if...
T20 is a different ball game. Today's youngsters are conversant withthis form of cricket. The common factor between the two teams is that we are not the favourites. We can win if the players bowl cleverly.

A Modern, Colorful Wedding Shelldance Orchid Gardens in Pacifica, California
For their summer wedding, Leah Reisman and Tom Gartner were inspired by the brilliant colors of Shelldance Orchid Gardens, and they designed their ceremony to highlight the natural beauty of the space. "Leah's parents got married in a greenhouse in upstate New York, so that continuity was special to us, as was the Pacific coastline setting of both our childhoods," the couple says. The ceremony took place under a chuppah made by the couple's fathers, and it was accented with colorful flowers that matched the DIY appliqué on Leah's dress. The bride and groom also incorporated several DIY elements made from recycled materials, including the signage, dining table linens and table numbers. "Our tables were named after our favorite restaurants across the country. We designed and printed the labels to resemble each restaurant's sign," the couple says "We also brought textiles from our home to use as tablecloths." Living plants dressed up the otherwise neutral tables. Guests ate a tiered naked wedding cake at the end of the night, and they also took home bags of granola as wedding favors.
Our favorite #MakeTradition moments: "Leah's four cousins walked photos of family members who are no longer with us down the aisle," the couple says.

Season : 2019
Code : 641
Weight : 0KG
Conceived originally in 2009 by the development team at Nukeproof in an attempt to build the perfect bike for this exact style of racing, the Mega was born. Now in its 4th evolution, the Mega is podium proven. It has tasted success with numerous national and international race wins to its name.
Designed to excel on the toughest enduro tracks; the gravity focused specification is designed to descend fast but maintain the pedalling efficiency for all-day epics.
Chassis Stiffness
For 2019 Nukeproof has focussed on the smallest details in order to improve an already podium proven chassis. Making the decision to commit to a dedicated 1x drivetrain configuration across all models, this enabled its engineers to utilise the space required for a front derailleur to increase the main pivot bearing placement ensuring that maximum stiffness is achieved. This additional stiffness prevents torsional flex under pedalling and helps the chassis track through high speed, rough terrain without compromise.
With stiffness in mind, Nukeproof took the time to incorporate the very latest Boost 148 rear axle spacing allowing it to spec much stiffer and stronger wheels both front and rear. All 2019 Nukeproof Mega models will come with new wider spaced Boost wheels and forks enabling the rider to feel even more confident on the increased capability of the bike.
Updated Race Geometry
With the demands of Enduro World Series racers progressing at a rapid rate, Nukeproof looked again at its geometry and saw an opportunity to tailor the frames to suit not only the fastest racers, but the growing tribe of riders that utilise its bikes every weekend whether that be shuttling runs at their favourite bike park, or heading off for an all-day epic in the local hills.
Slightly taller head tube lengths help tailor the cockpit feel to increase rider confidence, and a lengthened top tube on large and extra-large frames should help even the tallest of riders feel at home on the new Mega 275 Carbon RS.
Metric Shock Sizing
The product development team work extremely closely with Nukeproof's suspension partners and spent endless hours working on the perfect shock configuration for the new Mega. The perfect partnership between rear shock technology and frame kinematics have always been in the very root of its thought process when developing bikes and the new Mega with its brand new 'metric' shock standard is no different. Designed to work perfectly with both air and coil sprung rear shocks, Nukeproof has addressed some of the areas that it felt could be improved on over the previous design such as hardware improvements and higher spec shocks across the board.
The new Mega 275 Carbon RS utilises the brand new RockShox Super Deluxe rear shock and hardware now comprises of a wider spaced 25mmx8mm front mount, with a rocker link mounted bearing system to improve shock sensitivity and reduce the amount of wear through heavy usage. This combination adds even more stiffness to the chassis through these more secure fixtures and the 'Metric' rear shock system with increased bushing overlap.
High in Fibre
Leaning on its experience from the development of its award-winning Warhead Carbon handlebar range, Nukeproof has spent 4 years in the development of the brand new Mega 275 Carbon RS. Utilising a blend of the highest quality carbon fibre composites, the Mega 275 Carbon RS has been hand crafted with 1 goal in mind... Winning!
Not only is the chassis now significantly lighter than its aluminium counterpart, the strength and reliability of the frame has been vastly improved enabling every rider to push harder, faster and with more confidence than ever before.
Tested on the toughest of terrain and in the most varied conditions by Enduro World Series Winner Sam Hill, the 2019 Mega 275 Carbon RS sets out to tackle every ride with its trademark attitude.

On Thursday, the Hills star called police after her mother, Darlene Egelhoff, arrived at her Los Angeles home.
"My mom showed up unannounced to my house when she knows I have no interest in seeing or talking with her," Montag, 23, tells PEOPLE. "She tore my heart out on national television. She is just trying to create drama in my life."
Montag and her mom have let the drama unfold on camera too. Earlier this season on the Hills, Montag returned home to Colorado to show off her new body after undergoing 10 plastic surgeries in one day. Her mom's reaction drove the reality star to tears and prompted her husband, Spencer Pratt, to declare on Tuesday's episode, that Egelhoff "decided to rape my wife emotionally."
Los Angeles police confirm that Egelhoff came to her daughter's house on Thursday and was turned away.
"Officers arrived on the scene and advised the mother that since her daughter's an adult, she doesn't have to speak to [the mom] if she doesn't want to," Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Leffew tells PEOPLE. "The mother said 'fine, no problem' and left. There were no citations or arrests."
And Montag says this isn't the end of all the drama. "I made it very clear that I want nothing to do with her in my life right now," she tells PEOPLE.
Continues Montag: "I'm sick to my stomach she would even do something like this. She needs to stay away from me. I'm planning on getting a restraining order against her."
Calls to Egelhoff were not immediately returned.

"This is a true money making cut," says Brian Grieve, Emiliani Enterprises Creactive Director of his 'Progressive' cut. "The face frame is key. It's all about creating a soft textured line with graduation, leaving maximum length in the corners."
Using his seven inch shears created by former Sassoon Artistic Director Tim Hartley, Grieve points out that the sections should be clean and that elevation and overdirection can make or break the look. "This cut can be tweaked for length and works for short, medium or long finishes." The design also allows for artistry which is obvious when watching him cut a mannequin in the Emiliani Education Center in Union, New Jersey. "There is overdirection, undercombing, body positioning...its a very technical cut."

Remaining Questions about HAppS
This is a list of questions I need answered about HAppS' MACID monad before I can decide to use it for a large-scale application. It's a long list, but I don't mean to imply that the answers are bad; indeed, I'm hopeful they will turn out okay. I'm making the list in the hopes someone can point me in the right directions, as just reading the source code is slow going so far!
- Is it feasible (even by extending the HAppS framework, if needed) to load balance a HAppS application across multiple servers? I've got performance problems already with the old version of this application; I'm hopeful that many of them can be solved by dropping this Java object-relational mapper – which generates SQL that I never see – with Haskell code for which I can use smart data structures and algorithms and fix the problems. Still, the hope is that more people use this in the future, and I'd hate to permanently give up the option of clustering or load balancing. Although it wouldn't be immediately needed, it remains worthwhile to have the choice.
- Is it feasible (even by extending the HAppS framework, if needed) to have HAppS store only part of its data at a time in memory? While servers are getting more and more powerful over time, applications are using more and more data as well. The data backup files for the application I've currently porting to Haskell are 9 GB in size, after compression. I'm hoping that this increases over time. While most of this data could potentially be moved into auxiliary files outside of the HAppS MACID monad, it's still a little questionable whether I'd want to limit the data to the size of the server's RAM. The web site says that everything has to fit in RAM; but I don't know if that's because of something fundamental about the way the system works, or just because that's what is implemented today. The talk of moving to S3 and EC2 seems to indicate the latter (more promising) state of affairs.
- Is it feasible (even by extending the HAppS framework, if needed) to tie HAppS' MACID transactions to transactions in external information systems via a two-phase commit protocol? One of the key goals of the software I'm developing is integrating with other systems seamlessly, and that likely means allowing changes to HAppS-controlled data to participate in a distributed transaction.
- When I change the data structures for a HAppS application, it fails to load with the old state. Is there an easy technique for migrating data when one needs to change the data tracked by the application?
- What is the best way to manage (i.e., interactively query and update) live data from a HAppS application outside of the pre-planned application functions? For example, if I'm asked by my boss how many people with a first name of Tiffany have used the application after midnight since 17 days ago, I can currently throw together some SQL and find out. Now, can I throw together some Haskell and find out? How would I do that? The only thing that comes to mind is something like lambdabot, which uses hs-plugins to compile and then dynamically load some code and run it. I can do this, but it's a little odd and it seems like there's be an easy answer to this.

I want to see such questions (asked more and) answered. I'm planning to go HAppS … although it will be for a simple weblog.

NEWS- Wish you were there- Willie Nelson
Charlottesville played host to Willie Nelson, and Nelson played his biggies. The pony-tailed king of outlaw country delivered such hits as "Always on my Mind," "On the Road Again," and "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys."
The Sunday July 16 event at Coran Capshaw's Charlottesville Pavilion was billed as benefit for the Charlottesville Free Clinic, and IT sold out shortly after tickets went on sale in early April. The man who once bragged of smoking marijuana on a balcony at the Carter White House brought his beat-up guitar.

The Jets and Steelers have developed a nice rivalry this decade, as each of the two teams have consistently been among the best in the AFC. That doesn't mean the series has been competitive though. Overall, the Jets are just 4-17 against the Steelers and have won just one time in Pittsburgh since the NFL and AFL merged in 1970. Since 2003, the Jets and Steelers have split six games, and if not for a pair of Doug Brien missed field goals in the 2005 playoffs, the Jets could have had a leg up.
This week's matchup figures to be another tough battle between two good teams that rely greatly on their defenses.
How funny that after all this time, I come back to find this thread. :-). What's up everybody? Good to be back and I look forward to talking about Sunday's game.
Hey all......Im back again looking to b.s about the game
I'm actually going to be at a Steeler's bar here in town for the game. Should be fun.
hey i m here for talking about delicious different recipes.
Thank you!

A big thanks to everyone that participated in this First Annual HARRY balloting. In 24 hours, over 4000 readers cast their ballots for the best and worst of the 2010 political season. So, who's the Hot Air Readership Republican of the Year?
Like any good awards ceremony, we'll start off with the minor categories.
Hot Air Story of the Year
Beating out its nearest competitor by more than a three-to-one margin, the blog post "Video: Chris Christie destroys reporter for calling him confrontational" takes home the inaugural HASY Trophy, snatching up 40% of the vote in the six-way race. This year's runner-up is "Dingell: It will take a while for ObamaCare to 'control the people'." Rounding out the top 3 — "Dem congressman: If Guam gets too overpopulated, it might tip over." (Be sure to search the Archives yourself for some of the other oldie-but-goodies.)
Favorite Topic of the Year
What pushed readers' buttons? It looks like anything and everything Chris Christie was welcome content, with posts relating to the current New Jersey governor capturing the only majority answer for the question (51%). Christie was more popular than posts on The economy and even Sarah Palin. Following Opinion pieces and Campaign coverage, Ed's Obamateurisms clearly struck the right chord with visitors to Hot Air, rounding out the clearly popular categories. Not so popular? Posts about Christine O'Donnell, Robots, and Religion.
Preferred Vice Presidential Candidate of Hot Air Readers
Taking the prize for Best Politician Hopefully in a Supporting Role, Florida Senator-elect Marco Rubio topped the vice presidential list by a squeaker over crowd favorite Chris Christie, 564 votes to 523 votes. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal came in a close third with 517 votes. Taking fourth, fifth, and sixth were Congressman Paul Ryan, former Governor Sarah Palin, and Florida Congressman-elect Allen West, in that order. (Note Palin and West; we'll get back to them in a moment.)
And now, performance art.
Moving on.
In the category of Least Liked Topic We Specifically Polled Anyway, readers by a resounding 67% to 16% favored Christine O'Donnell over Mike Castle in their 2010 Delaware primary match-up. As for supporting a rematch with her as the nominee in 2014, readers were… less enthusiastic.
Hot Air readers are decidedly opposed to Republican candidates for President attending Politico's Spring debate, generally preferring that the candidates refrain from participating in such an event until the end of the year.
So, back to the candidates themselves: When they cast their votes, what qualities were Hot Air readers looking for in their preferred candidate for President?
Preferred Presidential Candidate of Hot Air Readers
And the winner for Best Politician in a Hopefully Leading Role is Sarah Palin, beating Chris Christie handily and in a substantial reversal from the last poll we took at Hot Air on the topic. Paul Ryan, Bobby Jindal, and Mitt Romney round out the list at three, four and five.
Worth noting here is that while the "most popular President-VP ticket" would seem to be Palin-Rubio based on the results, that pairing was not the most common pairing explicitly given by Hot Air readers.
I've prepared a chart to help explain this. Down the left hand column is the preferred President of readers, with the highlighted box signaling which VP candidate was paired with him or her most frequently. So, Palin supporters chose Allen West most often as their VP choice. In contrast, the most popular pairing where Rubio was the VP on a ticket was when Chris Christie was the choice for President. Interesting stuff to me.
A look back at those we lost this year
Assuming there were that many, of course. Personally, I think the following groups won more Republican seats than they "lost," but Hot Air readers have a decidedly more mixed, and basically negative, opinion of these organizations: the NRCC and NRSC.
Readers may not have liked these organizations, but they did like at least one person. A lot. In fact, so much so that this person is…
The Hot Air Readership Republican of the Year
And the HARRY goes to…
Sarah Palin. It wasn't particularly close, either. Lots of voters commented that while they couldn't vote for her for President, she was undoubtedly the biggest Republican mover and shaker of 2010. When I argued last year that the then-former governor Palin ought to "run for Congress" in 2010, I believed that she would play an enormously important role in winning back Republican seats. I noted at the time,
[W]hile Palin's resignation certainly risks her own personal ambitions for higher office, it also opens up her hand to do the some of the free-wheeling, unfiltered campaigning she couldn't do last year, with the prime beneficiary the center-right cause. If Palin wants to strengthen her political future, I can't think of a better way to do it.
Obviously, not all of the 63 seats I predicted Republicans would take were directly a result of her interventions, but Palin drove much of the political conversation over the last 18 months. That's not an easy feat for a typical politician, but Sarah Palin is not your typical politician. Whatever you think of the Mama Grizzly, you have got to respect her tenaciousness.
She got my vote, and clearly a lot — and I mean a lot — of Hot Air readers cast their ballots likewise.
That concludes this First Annual HARRY Awards ceremony. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm on Twitter. And I'll leave you with this diddy as a parting tribute to the most endangered among us:
Until next post.

The provost, the University's second-ranking officer, is elected by the Board of Trustees and, at the direction of the president, exercises overall responsibility for the academic enterprise.
A Notre Dame alumnus and distinguished scholar in the field of clinical psychology, Burish served as president of Washington and Lee University for three years before assuming his present position and was Vanderbilt University's longest-serving provost, holding that post from 1992 to 2002.
In accepting his appointment as provost, Burish praised his alma mater as a great academic and Catholic institution. "This latter attribute, its being a Catholic institution, drew me here as an undergraduate, and is a major reason I am now drawn back," he said. "The challenge of wrapping together our faith-based heritage while further strengthening our academic excellence is a rare opportunity and, for me, a special dream. I did not anticipate this opportunity or seek it, but am excited by it and am grateful for it."
After his graduation from Notre Dame in 1972, Burish, a native of Peshtigo, Wisc., received master's and doctoral degrees in psychology and clinical psychology from the University of Kansas in 1975 and 1976, respectively. While in graduate school, he also worked in the Kansas University Medical Center's psychiatry department and children's rehabilitation unit.
In 1976, Burish joined Vanderbilt's faculty as an assistant professor of psychology. He taught undergraduate courses in abnormal psychology, personality, introduction to delivery of psychological services, stress, and biofeedback as well as graduate courses in psychopathology, health psychology, and clinical practicum. He remained at Vanderbilt for the next 26 years, establishing a prominent reputation in cancer research, receiving honors for excellence as an undergraduate teacher, and serving in numerous administrative positions, including as chair of the Department of Psychology from 1984 to 1986.
A member of the American Cancer Society's national board of directors from 1991 to 2006, Burish served as its chair from 2004 to 2005. Currently he serves on the board of directors of BioCrossroads, the Beacon Health System, and the Center for Research Libraries.
He is the coauthor or coeditor of four books, including Coping with Chronic Disease: Research and Applications and Cancer, Nutrition, and Eating Behavior: A Biobehavioral Perspective. He also has contributed to more than 15 other books and has written some 70 journal articles in his field.
Burish and his wife, Pamela, have two sons.

Chamakh struck after only 39 seconds when he headed in a cross from Alex Song and wrapped up victory in injury-time.
It was the perfect riposte after their shock home reversal against Newcastle and kept Mick McCarthy's side in the bottom three.
The Gunners threatened to run away with the game in the early stages with their one touch football.
Wolves were indebted to keeper Marcus Hahnemann for keeping them in the hunt during that period.
But they hauled themselves back into contention via the creativity of Nenad Milijas and the endeavour of Stephen Hunt.
Arsenal got off to the perfect start through Chamakh's seventh goal of the campaign.
Song made a break down the right before delivering a probing cross - and Chamakh was first to react in sending his header past Marcus Hahnemann into the corner of the net.
It needed a fine save from Hahnemann to prevent Arsenal from doubling their lead.
Andrey Arshavin raced clear of the Wolves rearguard but Hahnemann came quickly off his line to reduce the angle and he blocked the resulting shot.
The home side were forced to make a change after only eight minutes when Dave Edwards limped out of the action to be replaced by Hunt.
Wolves were taking time to recover from their early setback and were indebted to Hahnemann for a second time.
Arshavin's low cross was only half cleared by Richard Stearman and Fabregas' shot was blocked by the feet of Hahnemann.
Wolves were being pulled apart and Christophe Berra had to make a timely block on Arshavin's shot after being found in space by Fabregas.
Wolves started to get a foothold in the game and Kevin Doyle, without a league goal this season, came close to putting them on level terms after 28 minutes.
Hunt floated in an inswinging free-kick from the right flank and Doyle's back header was only inches too high with Fabianski scrambling across his goal.
Doyle was then found in space by Milijas' raking long pass but his control let him down as he bore down on goal and Gael Clichy was able to make the interception.
Fabianski had to palm away a cross from Matt Jarvis that took a wicked deflection off Sebastien Squillaci and was about to creep inside the far post.
Wolves came close to emulating Arsenal's quickfire start to the first half in the opening minute of the second period.
Jarvis' low ball across the six yard box was met by Milijas but Sagna made a crucial block to deny him the equaliser.
Arsenal should have doubled their lead after a misplaced pass from Stearman fell to Rosicky outside the Wolves box.
He delivered the ball back into the penalty area to the unmarked Fabregas but he sent his shot wide.
Wolves started to apply pressure and Fabianski tipped over a curling effort from Doyle which looked destined for the top corner of the net.
Rosicky came to Arsenal's rescue after 58 minutes when he cleared Stearman's close range effort off the line from Milijas corner.
Wolves were saved by the woodwork six minutes later as Arshavin's low drive beat the dive of Hahnemann but rebounded to safety off a post.
Arsenal substitute Denilson was booked after 73 minutes for not retreating after Wolves had been awarded a free-kick.
Wolves skipper Karl Henry deflected a low effort off the line from Johan Djourou after Sebastien Squillaci had initially mis-kicked inside the six yard box.
Stearman was yellow carded in the 86th minute for chopping down Arshavin.
Then Fabregas went into the book 60 seconds later for a touch-line lunge on Stephen Ward who was stretchered off and replaced by Steven Fletcher.
Doyle almost rescued a point for Wolves when his low shot flew inches wide.
But in the dying seconds Chamakh wrapped up the points with a clinical piece of finishing.

I arrived to Berlin for a short visit to give a colloquium talk at the new BMS on Helly-type theorems, and to participate in the Ph. D. committee of Ronald Wotzlaw. (Update: Dr. Ronald Wotzlaw.)
Here is an abstract for the talk decorated (it may take me a few days) with links to some earlier posts where matters are described in details, and also with some external links.
Helly's theorem from 1912 asserts that for a finite family of convex sets in a d-dimensional Euclidean space, if every d+1 of the sets have a point in common then all of the sets have a point in common.
This theorem found applications in many areas of mathematics and led to numerous generalizations. Helly's theorem is closely related to two other fundamental theorems in convexity: Radon's theorem asserts that a set of d+2 points in d-dimensional real space can be divided into two disjoint sets whose convex hulls have non empty intersection. Caratheodory's theorem asserts that if S is a set in d-dimensional real space and x belongs to its convex hull then x already belongs to the convex hull of at most d+1 points in S.
The first part of the lecture will discuss the basic relation between Helly, Radon, and Caratheodory's theorems. Those are described in this post We move to discuss several quantitative generalizations of the theorem. At first we will consider what happens to the theorem if we replace the condition "non-empty intersection" by "the dimension of the intersection is at least r. (Question: What is the answer for r=1?)
Meir Katchalski settled this problem for every d and r in his M. Sc thesis. Later he proved the "Hard-Katchalski theorem" that asserts that if we know the dimensions of intersection for every subfamily of cardinality at most d+1, we can figure out the dimensions of intersection for every subfamily.
After that we will discuss various quantitative versions of Helly's theorem. The upper bound theorem for families of convex sets (Katchalski-Perles conjecture), fractional Helly's theorems, and results about the volume of intersections.
Our next topic will be Tverberg's theorem (a far-reaching extension of Radon's theorem) and we will indicate the proof. Next we describe the beautiful Amenta's theorem – a Helly-type result about families of unions of convex sets. We will briefly mention Alon-Kleitman (p,q) theorem, (If from every p sets q have a point in common what can you deduce?) We conclude with the topological Helly's theorem discovered by Helly himself and discuss some topological versions of the results considered above. (Here we replace convex sets by topological balls and assume that also that nonempty intersections are topological balls.)

SC Lights necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
SC Lights
We are a couple of ambitious college students that have decided to start our own business focusing on the motorcycle industry. We are all very passionate about motorcycles and frequently ride. We have developed an adaptive front lighting system for motorcycles making them safer to ride at night. Our product is very tech savvy revolving around a unique helmet tracking mechanism that allows the rider to controls their lights for the best use of their lights.
Similar to adaptive front-lighting systems applied in the automotive industry. This system effectively gives a rider the ability to easily manage their headlights ensuring a more efficient lighting solution than the status quo.
BMW plans to offer a different solution to the problem that we are solving. To give you a better idea of what our product actually does take a look at their informative pitch from YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRqHmPia1rs
Also we have been brainstorming a couple slogans that you could possibly combine with the logo.
-Adaptive Motorcycle Systems
-Anticipate. Illuminate. Navigate.
Our product is aimed specifically at motorcycle enthusiasts. We plan to offer our lighting system as an after-market kit that can be installed on a wide variety of motorcycles.
SC Lights is looking for an incredible cool logo that is easy to recognize and also appeals to our technical side of our product. This logo will serve as our identity and we want it to stand out from all the rest.
We are looking for an abstract design, so you are free to be creative. Feel free to look up adaptive front lighting system to get better acquainted with our product.
We think a 3D logo would be very cool if designed properly to look good. 3D is our preference (everyone has a vector logo) of high resolution and quality. We want the colors to reflect something related to roadways, highways, etc. and were toying with yellow and black (symbolizing the road) but are not sold on it and would like to see some creativity with different color combinations. Here are some benefits that our product has which may help you incorporate with the logo design.
SC Lights has created the first adaptive front lighting system for motorcycles which:
•Compensates for bike lean angle
•Changes the lighting pattern to compensate for curvature in the road(especially handy when approaching an upcoming corner).
•Allows the rider to control the lights through a helmet tracking mechanism
•Increases a rider's reaction time and visibility ensuring additional safety

Financial Assistance. A limited number of scholarships are available each Weekend on a first come, first served basis. Please email or call us at (888) 331-3930 if you need support.
The Woman Within® Weekend will take you on a journey. It is a descent into yourself. Through this descent, you are given the opportunity to re-establish connection with the part of yourself that intuitively knows – your ageless wisdom. You will be provided with an opportunity to reclaim a part of yourself that may have been lost, stolen, forgotten or fragmented. The Weekend offers a series of experiential activities, guided meditations, and focused individual and group work. These processes have been carefully designed to effectively assist women in finding their inner power and in using it to support themselves in their daily lives. In a safe and supportive environment each woman has an opportunity to reclaim her wholeness as a woman.
You are invited to this Weekend not as a mother, daughter, sister, partner or wife, but as yourself. We offer you the chance to let down the masks and defenses which you use as protection, to journey into your past, to experience your deepest feelings and to turn them into positive healing energy. Being among women is an integral part of this Weekend and our staff of women will support you as women have supported each other for generations. The Weekend is based in part on the ancient Sumerian Myth of Innana, the Queen of the Heavens.
Healing, Educational, Experiential. The unfolding events of the Weekend are intensive. You will work individually as well as in small and larger groups. The experiences of each woman will be different and individual. If you are ready to face some of your fears and past wounds and reclaim your passion for life and your belief in yourself, the Woman Within® Weekend is for you. This is a healing, educational, and experiential Weekend: it is not therapy or medical treatment.
Facilitators, Leaders and Staff. Experienced facilitators from the USA and other areas on the globe lead the Weekend, together with the support of 25-30 staff members who have all gone through the Weekend themselves. The concept of support is paramount on these Weekends, and we ensure that there is at least one staff member per participant. For some women, the experience of being supported by other women is completely new and may be the biggest thing they take away for themselves from the Weekend.
Continued Growth. Once a woman has completed the Woman Within® Weekend, you may participate in one of the other workshops and also apply to staff Woman Within® Weekend and in time take on a leadership role. Some woman start their journey with our organization with the weekend, while others start by participating in a local Woman Within Circle. Where ever your journey begins, all of you is welcome here.
The Woman Within® Weekend is a powerful transforming experience created by women for women. Since 1987, thousands of women from over 20 countries have attended this two and a half day workshop at locations throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, South Africa and Australia and New Zealand.

Translate your WordPress Site
WordPress comes with an amount of great benefits. One of them is the simple fact is fully translated into over 65 languages, and it can be adjusted to your language's characteristics as well. We know that this is important since your audience might be pretty narrow (e.g. Spanish natives).
You should know that changing the website language from the Dashboard area is not enough. Your website's structure is formed of different parts of posts, pages, menus or widgets. The content of those sections can be added directly to your language. However, there are strings attached, both from the theme and plugins, that you need to translate.
Let's take the following scenario: you have a food blog, and at the end of each article you can have a Read more call to action. Those specific words should be translated into your native language in order to facilitate access.
The .PO file includes the original texts and the translations in two columns. The .MO file incorporates the exact same contents as PO file. Keep in mind that the two files differ in their format. While a PO file is easy for humans to read, MO files are compiled and very easy for computers to read. Nonetheless, WordPress gets translations from .MO files.
Here are the steps you have to take in order to translate your website:
- Change the language by going to Settings » General » Site Language field;
- Go to this link;
- Select the theme that you are using;
- Click on the language you would like to translate your website;
- You can suggest a new translation for any of the English original strings, seen on the left. Just click on Details button from the end of the line and add your suggestion;
- Once you finished your translation, go to the bottom of the page and select to Export all current as Portable Object Message Catalog (.po);
- You need to export one more file, the Machine Object Message (.mo), the same way you did on step 6;
- Go to this link;
- Find the WP Locale for the language you want to translate your website into.
- Rename both PO and MO files this way: themename-locale.po and themename-locale.mo. For example, if the theme is called Julia and you want to translate it in French, your files will be called julia-fr_FR.po and julia-fr_FR.mo;
- Upload the translation files, through FTP:
- The theme translation files need to be added to wp-content/languages/themes folder;
- The plugins translation files need be added to wp-content/languages/plugins folder.
Are your themes compatible with WPML?
Yes — here is the official list of WPML certified themes.

I wrote here about an incident that occurred when Secretary of Defense Hagel spoke at the University of Nebraska. After his prepared remarks, when calling on a questioner, Hagel said, "you're not a member of the Taliban, are you?" Robin Gandhi, an assistant professor who is of Indian national origin, then asked a question.
Hagel's camp claims, however, that Prof. Gandhi was not the target of the Secretary's Taliban joke. According to George Little, Hagel's spokesman:
Following a question related to the Taliban, the Secretary made an off-the-cuff joke before the next questioner was called or selected at an appearance at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Absolutely no slight toward any individual in the audience was intended. That's the last thing the Secretary would do under any circumstance, in this or any other setting. He didn't know who would be called next to pose a question.
This explanation doesn't square with the video (see below). It shows that following a question about the Taliban, Hagel said, "OK, so who has a — way up in the back there; you're not a member of the Taliban are you…"
Thus, Hagel wasn't waiting for the next questioner to be called on or selected. He was calling on/selecting the next questioner — a person "way up in the back there" where Gandhi was waiting to ask a question. The claim that Hagel "didn't know who would be called next" seems absurd, as it is Hagel who appears to be doing the "calling."
Moreover, Hagel clearly was directing his Taliban remark at a particular person. If it wasn't the person he was calling on, who was it? To my knowledge, Team Hagel hasn't said.
But an AP reporter sitting near Gandhi insists that Hagel directed the Taliban remark at her. Margery Beck told Fox News that she raised her hand to ask a question and Hagel then called on her and made the Taliban reference. After an employee controlling the audience microphone instructed Beck that no questions from the press were allowed, Gandhi, sitting a few seats away, was allowed to ask his question.
Note that this explanation conflicts with that of Hagel's spokesman. In Beck's account, Hagel knew who he was calling on to ask the question — Beck. Presumably, the Hagel camp meant to say that Hagel didn't know that Gandhi would end up asking the next question.
That's possible, I suppose. The video shows a slight delay between Hagel's remark and Gandhi's question. Maybe during that time, events transpired as Beck recounts them.
But why would Hagel ask Beck if she's a member of the Taliban? Does she look like someone from that part of the world (I haven't found a picture of her — perhaps there's one available on social media, but I'm not on social media).
If so, the remark involves mindless stereotyping, just as it would if directed at Gandhi. If not, the remark, if anything, makes even less sense.
So even if I were to accept Beck's account of events, I would stand by the conclusion I reached in my initial post: "The selection of a fool like Hagel to run the Pentagon tells us all we need to know about the seriousness with which President Obama takes maintaining a defense adequate to protect of our country."
Here is the video:
