Jon Carlin of the Super Carlin Brothers made a very good case for Tuesday actually being the worst day of the week. At least in theory.
I wrote a story about that myself a few years back. Tuesdays are kinda the worst.

Karl reMarks: Has the Counter-Revolution started in Iran?
Let me begin with a salute to the Iranian people who have shown great courage against the Iranian regime's thugs and have managed so far to out-smart the Mullah brigades and continue their display of popular anger and discontent. This is no mean feat, Ahmadenejad's supporters will go to extreme lengths to suppress this budding uprising, and the protesters can only fight back with courage and determination. They genuinely deserve our support and solidarity.
As the world watches the escalating situation in Tehran with anticipation, many are speculating that this could be the end of the road for the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Only the Iranian people can determine the outcome of this struggle, and their will can certainly overcome the Basiji and the Revolutionary Guard. But let's put this in perspective, this is not an outright challenge to the system itself but a manifestation of the friction between the competing factions that have existed within the ranks of the rulers of the Islamic Republic since its foundation. Mir Hossein Mousavi, the candidate whom the demonstrators believe should have won the elections, was Prime Minister of Iran throughout its war with Iraq in the 80s. He's certainly not a critic of the Islamic Republic itself, he represents a different outlook among the ranks of the Iranian establishment that is opposed to Ahmadinejad and his backers.
The difference between the two men and what they represent embodies the tension that was inherent within the Islamic Revolution since its early days. Should the revolution be exported to other countries or should Iran focus on sorting out its own affairs? Nation state or revolutionary cause, what path should Iran follow? The question has never been settled conclusively, and the response to it has largely shaped Iran's foreign and domestic policy and continues to do so. Today however, the commitment to exporting the revolution is not an active project, but it remains an important rhetorical and ideological device that Ahmadinejad and his allies within the regime draw their legitimacy from. But despite his loud proclamations, Ahmadinejad is not the mad figure that is portrayed in the West. His noisy rhetoric is partially an attempt to mask his incompetence at managing the economy and running the country smoothly.
Against this background, it is easy to understand the appeal of Mousavi, a wealthy and successful man but also one who ran the economy efficiently during his term as prime minister. He represented something more immediate to Iranian voters than overthrowing the regime, namely competent management of the country and the economy and mild reformism. Having said that, no one can say for sure what direction public anger can take and if the crowds in Iran get a measure of their own power they might attempt to topple the system. There is a real barrier against this, the opposition to the Islamic Republic is not organised and any challenge to the system itself will draw the reformers closer to their opponents within the regime in order to protect the Islamic Republic from collapsing.
Western intervention at this stage, particularly by the Americans, will certainly not be in favour of the opposition that is taking shape day by day. The regime will portray the public demonstrators as agents of the West and galvanize support among the hardliners whose numbers run in the millions as well. What is important to realize at this stage is that this is a matter for the Iranian people to decide upon and they alone are responsible for determining the kind of society they want to live in.
It is easy to get carried away when watching millions protesting, but let's not turn this into a personal fantasy. The most likely outcome of this episode is that the regime will back down and appease the protesters one way or the other, and desktop revolutionaries everywhere will have their hearts broken with yet another 'spring' failing to induce real political change. Real change can only come through political organisation, let's get busy with that.
"Real change can only come through political organisation, let's get busy with that." Damn right, and you should have also added: real change needs more than an English speaking, middle class North Tehranese constituency. It needs the mass backing of the urban working class at least, and in collaboration with the totally undiscussed Iranian labour movement, who have been one of the most brutally suppressed organizations by the regime.

This Day in History: Thornton's Affair sparks the Mexican-American War
On this day in 1846, Mexican and American forces clash in a disputed area close to the Rio Grande. The so-called Thornton Affair would finally push the United States into war with Mexico.
"Hostilities may be considered to have commenced," then-Brigadier General Zachary Taylor wrote President Polk. "American blood has been spilled."
Tension had been mounting for years. Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836, but the two sides never really agreed to a boundary after the war. Instead, the disagreement persisted even after Texas joined the United States in 1845. Soon afterwards, Taylor and an Army of Occupation were dispatched toward the southern border.
They would establish the Rio Grande as the southern boundary of the United States.
Taylor arrived across the river from the Mexican city of Matamoros on March 26, 1846. He began building a fort (Fort Texas) near present-day Brownsville.
On April 24, Taylor received reports that Mexican forces were beginning to cross the Rio Grande. Something had to be done. He ordered Captain Seth Barton Thornton to investigate lands to the west of the fort. Thornton was to report back by noon the next day.
The Battle of Palo Alto, fought near Fort Texas soon after the Thornton Affair.
What followed is a matter of some dispute, but simple exhaustion surely affected the decisions that were made. Thornton's men were up all night, moving slowly through new territory. They talked with locals as they went, receiving conflicting reports about Mexican activity in the area. Early on April 25, they found a plantation and went to investigate.
Mistakes were made.
Thornton failed to leave a force guarding the open gate at the front of the plantation. He'd gone in and was looking for someone who might have information on Mexican activity in the area. His men were also inside the gates, but in varying states of readiness.
Suddenly, about 1,600 Mexican soldiers appeared on the scene.
The scene that followed was chaotic. The plantation lay close to the river, so Thornton's men were penned in, trapped by the river and by fences. Men and horses panicked. They were badly outnumbered, and the skirmish ended with 11 Americans dead, 6 wounded, and close to four dozen captured.
Armed conflict followed a few days later when Mexican forces began bombarding Fort Texas. Americans rebuffed the attack, but things had reached a tipping point.
President Polk addressed Congress, asking for a declaration of war.
"The cup of forbearance had been exhausted even before the recent information from the frontier of the Del Norte," he told Congress. "But now, after reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil. She has proclaimed that hostilities have commenced, and that the two nations are now at war."
Congress agreed, declaring war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.
The Mexican-American War continued for more than a year: The final military blow came in September 1847 when Americans seized the Mexican capital. A treaty was signed in February 1848.
It had been nearly twelve years since Texans first won their independence from Mexico. Now, at long last, it was decided: Mexico would finally recognize the Rio Grande as the border of Texas.

Brazil has selected the European MBDA Sea Ceptor system for installation on future Tamandaré class corvettes. Tamandaré class corvettes future will be based on the Barosso class corvettes and have a multirole configuration, with capacity for anti-ship and anti-air defense. They will have a main gun and secondary armament.
They will have a displacement of 2,700 tons with a length of just over 100 meters. Will also flight deck and hangar for helicóperos of medium size.
The MBDA Sea Ceptor is an all-weather missile air defense. It has been developed for the Ministry of Defence of United Kingdom to equip the ships of the Royal Navy Type 23, replacing the Sea Wolf system and for new frigates Type 26. It has also been selected by the Royal New Zealand Navy to replace the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow in Anzac class frigates.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has signed a contract for the first production batch of 4 Lightning II stealth combat aircraft – which will operate from both the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers and Royal Air Force (RAF) land bases.
The contract for the F-35B aircraft forms part of the MOD's investment in Lightning II over the next 5 years to procure an initial 14 of these multi-role fifth generation aircraft, as well as putting in place the necessary support arrangements and infrastructure.
Further contracts will cover the procurement of a range of equipment such as engines.
The news comes as a UK test team has completed initial aircraft handling trials for ASRAAM and Paveway IV on the F-35B aircraft.
Trial rounds, which are identical to the operational weapons, were tested for the first time during a series of flights from the US Navy's test facility at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland.
These initial tests are an important step in integrating weapons onto the F-35B, allowing test pilots to understand how they affect the way the aircraft performs and handles.
The aircraft are short take off and vertical landing (STOVL) and feature the latest stealth capabilities alongside intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) technology.


Q. Are all employees entitled to overtime pay? And, if not, who isn't?
A. Exempt and non-exempt employees are the two categories of employees. Exempt employees are those who, due to their job duties, are not legally entitled to overtime and are, therefore, "exempt" from the laws regarding overtime pay. Overtime wages for non-exempt employees or those whose job duties do not fit within any of the exemptions provided for under the Fair Labor Standards Act and are, therefore, entitled to overtime pay.
The list of exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act are very narrow, and it is up to the employer to prove that any of their employees are indeed not exempt.
If all of the tests below are met, you may qualify for the executive employee exemption.
An employee must have the capability to hire or fire other workers, or the particular's employee's input must be given particular weight, when it comes to hiring, firing, promoting, or changing the status of other employees.
An employee will have to be paid on a salary or fee basis (as stated in the regulations) at a sum that is no less than $455* weekly.
The exercise of independent judgment and discretion, when it comes to business related manners, must be one of the primary duties of the employee.
Work which requires a particular knowledge, or work that is defined as mainly intellectual in character that requires the exercise of judgment and discretion must be one of the primary duties of the employees.
The advanced knowledge that was mentioned above must come from a learning or science origin; also, the knowledge must be obtained from a course or specialized intellectual instruction.
Work requiring invention, imagination, talent or originality in a field that is recognized for its artistic or creative endeavor must be part of the main duties for an employee.
It must be customary for the employee to be regularly working away from the employer's places or place of business.
Employees that are highly compensated for non-manual or office related work that annually bring in a salary of $100,000 or more (which has to amount to more than $455* per week paid on a fee or salary basis) will be exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act if they regularly or customarily fulfill the duties of an exempt executive, professional or administrative employee who is identified in the standard tests for exemptions (see above).
The same exemptions that are offed to "white collar" employees will not apply to "blue collar" or manual workers whose work involves repetitive operation involving the hands, physical skill and energy. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, iron workers, construction workers and other non-management employees are entitled to minimum wage and overtime premium pay, in accordance with the FLSA and overtime wage laws, and are not exempt no matter how much they may be paid.
There are minimum standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act that may be exceeded, but can't be reduced or waived. However, employers may, on their own accord or under a collective bargaining agreement, diced to provide a higher wage, shorter workweek, or even a higher premium for overtime than the one provided under the FLSA.

Oil provided a base from which to start many of Oklahoma's towns, such as Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Seminole. Many small towns like Roxana were near small oil fields that over-produced the field and soon ran out of oil. (Angie Debo, p.55) Mr. Art Carmer related that much of the progress in the oil industry has been from inventions used for other purposes and applied to the oil industry. He continued to say that a few Oklahomans that went on to make a living out of state returned to try to prosper in the Oklahoma oil industry. He also stated that Hennessey has benefited from the surrounding oil towns like Tulsa and Oklahoma City, though Hennessey is no longer an oil producing city itself.
Hennessey's history in oil begins with the first oil exploration just west of the town. According to Mr. Art Carmer, the first well in Oklahoma around the Hennessey area was located in the township eighteen north, range eight west, in the southwest quarter of section one. He recalled that the well was drilled around 1915 to 1920 to a depth of fifteen hundred to two thousand feet.
Since this well did not produce oil, Mr. Carmer believes that in 1925 there was a well drilled eight miles east of Hennessey. It is located in township nineteen north, range five west, on the northwest quarter of section twenty one. The land was owned by Mr. Brady Henry. The well reached a depth of 6,709 feet and produced enough oil and gas to be profitable. Around the same time, Mr. Carmer said, there was another well drilled in the same area, north of highway 51. It was located in the southwest quarter of section sixteen, which wa owned by the state. The well ranged around 6,400 feet deep and produced 5,000 barrels a day. For its time, this well was known for having the longest string of six inch casing in the world, close to six thousand feet long.
The largest oil field near Hennessey would be the Roxana oil fields. The town Roxana, as Mr. Carmer remembers, was named after the company that started drilling in the area around 1927. Roxana was located twenty miles south and one mile west of Marshall. The numerous wells around Roxana ranged from 6,000 to 6,500 feet deep. The Roxana oil field was diminished in importance by the discovery of the Oklahoma City and Edmonmd oil fields in 1930 to 1931. These fields sometimes produced ten to fifteen thousand barrels a day.
Mr. Carmer, a long time geologist, said Roxana and Oklahoma City oil fields are located along the Nemaha Mountain Range. The mountain range was buried by the oceans that once covered Oklahoma.
Mr. Art Carmer recalls that many of the first oil fields were spotted and drilled by luck and superstition. Such tools as the "Witching Stick" were used to find oil as well as water. (Angie Debo, p. 35). Then, later, Mr. Carmer remembers the invention of the seismograph and how it came to be used in the oil field. The seismograph sends vibrations into the earth and records the type of vibrations and how long it takes them to return. This decides whether the area is compatible for a well site. This process was used along the Nemaha Range where a well drilled at the top of the ridge would be a dry well and a well drilled near the base or along the slope of the mountain had a chance of hitting oil. The oil pools near the base were filtering through the sands left by the oceans and hit the solid rock in the mountain range.
Mr. Carmer remembers Clarence Karcher, a graduate of Hennessey High School in 1912. Mr. Karcher received his bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Oklahoma in 1916. He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania for his doctorate studies. Mr. Carmer remembers how Mr. Karcher worked for Thomas Edison to help find a way to locate German 75mm cannons. They found a way to use the seismograph to track the vibrations caused by the cannons going off. Later, when he returned to Oklahoma, he was able to apply this process to finding oil field locations.
Mr. O. D. Ramey remembers that before tractors were used, the drilling pit and surrounding area were landscaped by horse and wagon and men with shovels and picks. Comparatively old well sites were operated manually and needed crews of eight to ten men, whereas once they started using hydraulics, only three to four crew members were needed.
Mr. Ramey said that once the well site had been located, an oil derrick was brought in. At first the derricks were put together on location and were a permanent fixture. Later jack knife rigs, mobile derricks on chain driven trucks, were used. The old standard derricks were made of wood, tubing, or angle iron. The actual drilling process started out as a cable piounding the pipe into the ground. Once steam and diesel engines were introduced, they started using a rotary process. This utilized a sharp, three pointed bit to grind its way into the earth. This wasn't used until the 1930's.
Mr. O. D. Ramey went on to say that once the oil was pumped to the surface, it would be hauled by truck to the distribution points. Natural gas, on the other hand, was moved through pipelines. From these points the oil and gas were removed to refineries to be separated into their different components: propane, butane, gasoline, lubricating oils and paraffin, to name a few. Many common products have oil as an ingredient, such as stains, paints, asphalts, vaseline, oil-based cattle serums. Some early penicillans also had small amounts of oil-bases in them.
The history of many Oklahoma towns reveals that they were started by oil booms. Many industrieal companies were started by funds gained from oil royalties. Though many people were made millionaires, many also lost millions when oil fields went from boom to bust. Oklahoma was built on an oil industry and will prosper as long as the oil lasts.


One of the biggest concerns that patients coming to Dr. Brenner want help with is tummy scars and stretch marks. The majority of patients pursuing tummy tucks are under the assumption that it is only used to eliminate excess fat above and below the belly button. Not many people know that it can be used to get rid of stretch marks and turn visible C-section scars into a tiny bikini lines that are easily hidden.
Stretch marks are an actual disruption of the dermis layer of the skin. They form when skin expands significantly (i.e. with weight gain or pregnancy) and the dermis is stretched.
The dermal collagen fibers become disrupted and are visible through the intact epidermis (i.e. outer layer of skin).
Stretch marks can form anywhere on the body, but are most often seen on the abdomen, breasts and arms.
Stretch marks can only be removed if the skin containing them is excised. This could be procedures like abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or mastopexy (breast lift).
Stretch marks can be improved with a combination of laser skin treatments.
Stretch marks are best prevented by keeping your skin well moisturized during the length of your pregnancy.
While performing tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Brenner is able to surgically remove unwanted stretch marks and scars while performing the procedure. It is dependent on where the stretch marks have formed or where a previous scar was healed, but the majority of the time he can successfully remove them with a tummy tuck.
During your consultation, Dr. Brenner will work with you and examine the factors of your specific situation. He then will help create a custom treatment plan specifically tailored to you and your needs in order to provide you with top results in stretch mark reduction in Beverly Hills.
Scarring after the tummy tuck?
Scar management is an important aspect of Dr. Brenner's Beverly Hills tummy tuck surgery. All abdominal surgeries require some type of incision; all incisions can turn into scars. It is important to realize that scars can take about one full year to completely heal, flatten and fade. Scars will appear to be at their thickest and reddest at about two or three weeks after the surgery. This is completely normal. From that point on, scars will continue to remodel, and refine for one full year. As the scar tissue heals, the appearance of the scar will improve.
If one follows Dr. Brenner's tailored post op treatment plan, scarring will not be an issue. There are a few options to helping streamline the healing process of the post op treatment. Topical silicone gel (Biocorneum) is available in Dr. Brenner's office and can be applied starting two weeks after your tummy tuck surgery. Silicone gel sheeting may also be ordered, especially for patients with longer incisions.
Laser treatments are available as well to help reduce the thickening and color change that can occur with scarring.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Brenner today to learn more about the tummy tuck procedure and all of its additional benefits, including stretch mark and scar reduction in Beverly Hills.

Q: Integrate an Angular Web Application With Microsoft Project API I appreciate that this is a very broad question but I would be grateful for some guidance. I need to create a planning web application which though very client specific requires many fundamental project planning demands. I wondered if there was a way to get Microsoft Project to provide the 'heavy lifting' of managing task scheduling, resource management, levelling etc with my web application providing all the client facing UI?
Does anyone have any experience of installing Microsoft Project on a server and then through some API get a web application to create Projects, create and manage Tasks, Resources etc. I would like to use something like Telerik's Gantt Chart to display the data in my Angular web application which will be pulled from the MS Project API. Perhaps I am way off the mark, but it would be a great combination.

Villa Tammekann – The Home of Two Universities
Villa Tammekann, one of the architecturally significant houses listed by the Iconic Houses Network, was originally designed as a private home by Alvar Aalto. Now, it serves as a joint centreof the University of Turku, Finland and the University of Tartu, Estonia.
ICONIC HOUSES is an international network connecting architecturally significant houses from the 20th century that are open to the public as house museum. The platform also focuses on conservation, management, policy and cooperation.
Villa Tammekann is owned by the Turku University Foundation and it is located in an idyllic garden district of Tartu, Estonia. A shared Granö centre of the University of Turku and the University of Tartu operates in the facilities.
Alvar Aalto, a celebrated Finnish architect, designed the house as a residence for Professor August Tammekann and his family in 1932. The style of Villa Tammekann, like Aalto's other designs, has been influenced by austere Central European modernism.
– Villa Tammekann has been completely restored following Aalto's original design. The renovation was completed in 2000, tells CEO of the Turku University Foundation, Pekka Kanervisto.
The Centre of Science and Culture
Villa Tammekann serves primarily as a base for cooperation between the University of Turku and the University of Tartu. Its facilities can be used by the staff and students of both universities for work and study purposes.
– The centre has facilities for accommodation, seminars and recreation. Meetings, conferences and gatherings are hosted in the beautiful settings. Visitors can also relax in the sauna, says Kanervisto.
The Granö centre of the foundation and the two universities has been named after the former Rector of the University of Turku and Professor of geography of the University of Tartu J. G. Granö, , who contributed greatly to the promotion of Finnish-Estonian university cooperation.
Vigorous collaboration has been continued in his spirit.
A good example is the Granö visiting lecture series, which has been going on for nearly ten years. The experts of the University of Turku visit the twin city and tell the public about the latest research results and their operations in Villa Tammekann. Granö lectures are organised by the Finnish Institute, Estonia.
Furthermore , the centre is ideal for researchers who need some peace and quiet. In the serene and pleasant atmosphere, many books have been written and publications completed. The Turku University Foundation grants several scholarships annually for this purpose.
– The Turku University Foundation grants Granö scholarships, which enable staying and working in an inspiring environment, for the researchers and teachers of the University of Turku, tells Kanervisto.
Along with the Granö lectures also evening gatherings are arranged at the Villa Tammekann. Colleagues and partners in cooperation gathered together for the reception of Professor Marja-Liisa Honkasalo's lecture "Culture, Health, and the Human Condition" in September, 2013.
