Germany legend Oliver Khan has urged Pep Guardiola to snub Chelsea and Manchester City to take over at Bayern Munich next season.
A former captain of the German national team and the Bundesliga giants, Khan used his column in newspaper Bild to say he believes Guardiola and Bavaria would be a good match.
Although he does concede it would take quite a proposal to lure the former Barcelona boss away from the Etihad Stadium or Stamford Bridge, as both Premier League clubs have financial clout Bayern could probably not match.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly desperate to convince Guardiola, whom won 14 titles in four years at Camp Nou, to take the managerial post at Chelsea.
However, he has also been mentioned as a possible successor to Roberto Mancini at Manchester City, should the Italian leave the managerial post at the Premier League champions for some reason.
Khan believes Guardiola would be a huge success at the Allianz Arena, but feels they would need to overhaul their internal structures in order to get the best out of him.
The former goalkeeper even went so far as to suggest a short-term partnership between current boss Jupp Heynckes and Guardiola in a bid to smooth a transition.
Khan's reasoning was the abortive tenure of Jurgen Klinsmann at Bayern; the former world-class striker's attempts to change the way things worked at the club were met with much resistance from internal factions and helped to make his time there unsuccessful.

Submission + - Computers are better than humans at genomics? (bytesizebio.net)
Shipud writes: Sequencing the genome of an organism is not the end of a discovery process; rather, it is a beginning. It's the equivalent of discovering a book whose words (genes) are there, but their meaning is yet unknown. Biocurators are the people who annotate genes — find out what they do — through literature search and the supervised use of computational techniques. A recent study published in PLoS Computational Biology shows that biocurators probably perform no better than fully automated computational methods used to annotate genes. It is not clear whether this is because the software is of high quality, or both curators and software need to improve their performance. The author of this blog post uses the concept of the uncanny valley to explain this recent discovery and what it means to both life science and artificial intelligence.

A sweeping bill on cybercrime is due to be voted this week in the Brazilian Congress. The bill caters to banks and other big service providers, but is opposed by most other informed citizens, including the Brazilian Internet managers. The bill has been floored several times in the past few years, but every time was retracted due to fierce opposition. Last time that bill was up for voting there was a wave of hacker attacks to government and politicians' sites a few days before the expected voting date. Those attacks were widely believed to be an attempt by supporters to sway the vote of congressmen in favor of the bill. This attack is more serious but its timing strongly indicates that it has the same motivation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BebeDiva from Very sexy and subtle I ordered this in my usual size a L and the top fit me perfect, absolutely no side/boob or below show, the way the top fits is amazing! I gave it 4 stars because I did have to take in the sides near the waist as I felt it dropped too low in the back. I wanted it tight to my waist. However if you don't mind the swoop curve showing the lower back below the waist U will be fine. Not for me. There is an attached slip also, I had to hem it at 5'3'' about 4 inches, and the slip also. Wore it out to dinner my husband was impressed, and loved the dress. At this price if you can do basic sewing the dress is worth it. Otherwise well U decide. It tall and long waisted will probably fit great!

No - every pixel in the image is recomputed every time. The resulting texture is applied to both the flat map and the sphere. 'Computing' a pixel means converting it from pixel to lat-lon to spherical coordinates, checking for satellite visibility, and coloring the pixel accordingly. This conversion is necessary for me to get a value for each pixel.Do you have a basic texture on which you only highlight certain areas?
OP would not have to do this conversion. He already has values at various lat lons. What he could do is plot his points in a rectangular viewport (with lat-lon dimensions) and triangulate those points to get polygons. GL will automatically do the color interpolation for him, assuming he applies colors to each point. He would then need to overlay his map of the continents. The hardest part here is the triangulation. If there aren't many points and they don't change location with time, he could do it by hand. Otherwise he's going to have to apply an algorithm such as Delaunay Triangulation.

D-backs, Upton's agent had talked trade before
By Steve Gilbert
Thursday, January 24, 2013 12:44 PM MST
Trade rumors involving Upton had swirled throughout the season, and it was the second time Upton had found himself at the center of trade talk, with the first coming just after Towers had taken over as GM in 2010.
While Reynolds made it clear he did not demand a trade, he did tell Towers that with the circumstances being what they were, it might be best for both parties if a trade was made.
"We never demanded a trade, but there were discussions between Kevin Towers and myself about the possibility of trading Justin between the end of the season and the trade," Reynolds said. "I have a good relationship with K.T., so those discussions were amicable."
The rumors finally became reality Thursday when the D-backs dealt Upton and Chris Johnson to the Braves for five players.

"If I'm not doing anything wrong, why should I care if the police are watching me?" We regularly get this question when plans arise for new surveillance cameras in public areas, or government develops enhanced ability to monitor our most private online communications (not only e-mails, but financial and health information and much more). Technology nearly always outstrips our efforts to regulate it. It is vital to our democracy that we have policies in place and oversight of government agencies' surveillance of citizens.
It is widely agreed that surveillance devices do not deter criminals and terrorists. Studies have shown that video surveillance can be effective in solving crimes, but it is largely ineffective in preventing violent crimes. While surveillance can help law enforcement, blanket and suspicionless monitoring grows the intelligence haystack without making the needle any easier to find.
There's no question that in a serious crime, where there is probable cause and police are searching for suspects, surveillance tools could appropriately be deployed to solve a crime. Allowing permanent warrantless surveillance of the mass of citizens who are law-abiding is another matter. It is a basic tenet of our society that we do not watch people just in case they do something wrong.
That is why the ACLU of South Carolina welcomes legislative proposals to provide oversight on the use of unmanned surveillance vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, by law enforcement agencies.
H. 3514 would put in place a system of rules to ensure that we can enjoy the benefits of drone technology without bringing us closer to a "surveillance society," in which everyone's movements are monitored, tracked, recorded, and scrutinized by authorities. The bill would allow law enforcement to use drones only where a court has agreed that there are grounds to believe they will collect evidence relating to a specific instance of criminal wrongdoing, or in emergencies. Requiring a neutral arbiter to sign off on drone use can reassure the public that this new technology will be used responsibly and consistently with our values.
H. 3514 would also require local governing bodies' approval before law enforcement agencies acquire drones in order to ensure that communities have the opportunity to choose take advantage of drones' positive capabilities — for example, finding missing hikers or fighting forest fires — and so that when law enforcement agencies do use drones, they do so with their communities' buy-in and support.
Both H. 3514 and S. 395 would prohibit weaponization of drones, which is important, because an officer on the ground has a very different perception of when it is necessary to use force and what force is appropriate than an officer observing the scene on a screen from a distance might.
H. 3514 would exempt public universities from the warrant requirement so that drones can be used for research and academic purposes, allowing South Carolina to partake in the cutting edge drone research and development field while still protecting individuals' privacy.
And H. 3514 contains robust reporting requirements so that legislators can evaluate how the legislation works in practice, identify any abuses, and have the evidence necessary to update the law down the line should modifications become necessary.
We hope that our law enforcement officials will welcome the creation of privacy protocols and oversight, to ensure public confidence that civil liberties are being protected. Use of surveillance tools should respect the balance between our core values of security and privacy.
Security cameras may be appropriate at high-profile public places and events. But, as surveillance technologies get cheaper and more pervasive, we must ensure that we don't create a society in which all of our actions and public movements are recorded and stored forever, and the government maintains digital dossiers of millions of innocent Americans.
Security and privacy are not a zero-sum game. We now have an opportunity to put in place privacy rules in South Carolina that will get ahead of — or at least keep up with — drone technology.
We welcome our legislators' efforts.
Victoria Middleton is executive director of the ACLU of South Carolina, which is based in Charleston.

X-Ray Laser For Creating Supercharged Particles:
William Robinson writes "Scientists have found way to use X-Ray Lasers to create supercharged particles. The specific tuning of the laser's properties can cause atoms and molecules to resonate. The resonance excites the atoms and causes them to shake off electrons at a rate that otherwise would require higher energies. This could be used to create highly charged plasma."

Turning the tide towards actions for change, through the sustainable development goals
Date: Friday, February 7, 2014
New York
As the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals met this week for its eighth session, UN Women co-organized a number of side events to discuss development issues facing women and adolescent girls globally. These side events were centred on the post-2015 development agenda and what actions are urgently needed to significantly increase women's rights and gender empowerment.
"In the proposals that we are making for post-2015, we would like that a consideration is made for one goal, within which we shall address the number of issues that have to do with women," said UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, at a side event on achieving gender equality and women's empowerment for sustainable development, on 5 February 2014.
"We are encouraged that this has already been forthcoming from the Member States themselves who have also raised the issue of a gender goal. In addition to the gender goal, we also want to see the mainstreaming of all the issues that have to deal with women in all the other goals," she said.
A recurring theme through the side event was an emphasis on galvanizing social change by turning the need to promote gender equality, into concrete actions for change. While ground-breaking achievements continue in the area of creating gender-responsive policies, participants expressed concerns that the impact of such policies are not always felt by all, and a large gap remains between policies and their implementation.
Solutions discussed included translating and simplifying policy documents so that young women can understand them and become empowered. Improving the effectiveness of women in politics beyond mere representation, and delving into the quality of that representation, also figured significantly in the discussion.
"Today women face barriers of complexity and barriers of generational power," said Gita Sen, Member of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) High-level Taskforce, while speaking at a side event on addressing structural inequalities to assure sustainable development, organized by UNFPA with UN Women and UNDP on 4 February. She called for an overhaul of attitudes towards gender empowerment and questioned how governments and civil societies will ensure the implementation of gendered policies.
She highlighted that such attitudes include the perception of controversy surrounding sexual and reproductive rights. Ms. Sen argued that sexual and reproductive rights are no more controversial than other development issues such as climate change. Yet treating them as a controversial topic creates barriers for young women in gaining access to sexual education and support which would enable them to empower themselves against issues like sexual assault and child marriage.
Discussion highlighted that in order to advance gender equality, the post-2015 development agenda must focus on how women and girls are impacted by each goal or objective, and that all stakeholders need to move beyond advocacy into effective action.
"Women's rights, women's empowerment and gender equality have to be embedded in the post-2015 agenda for far-reaching and inclusive change to be achieved," Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka concluded in her keynote address to the Open Working Group,emphasizing the importance of a more gendered outlook to the post 2015 development goals. "The women's agenda is the agenda of half the population in all countries, and has to be an integral part of everything we do to score high on any Sustainable Development Goals."

Is 30 the New 20 for Young Adults?
Wonder why your grown kids seem so much younger than you at that age? Two experts explain why
En español │To a lot of us, today's twenty-somethings seem like a whole new breed. On the positive side, they're often wonderfully full of zest for life and a sense of adventure — traveling, studying abroad, moving to a new city and trying all kinds of new experiences. On the not-so-positive side, they sometimes seem to have trouble finding a direction in life, and many take longer to become independent and accept responsibilities than young people did in past decades.
- Fifty years ago the median age of entering marriage in the U.S. was 20 for women and 22 for men; today it's 26 for women and 28 for men, and still rising.
- In 1960 only 33 percent of young people went to college; today, 69 percent of high school graduates enter college the next year.
- Women used to have few options besides wife and mother; today they exceed men in college enrollment and are equal to men in law school, medical school and business school enrollment.
- Young Americans expect a lot more out of work than their parents or grandparents did. They change jobs an average of seven times from age 20 to 29 as they search for work that is personally fulfilling, not just a job but an adventure.
Put all these changes together and the result is a new life stage: "Emerging Adulthood." This period typically runs from age 18 to 25, although it lasts through the 20s for some. Based on hundreds of research interviews, I've identified five features as typical of emerging adulthood:
Identity explorations. This is a time when young people focus on figuring out who they are and what they want to do with their lives, as they try out different possibilities in love and work. Your 18-year-old may head for college with pre-med in mind, then discover a love for marine biology as a sophomore, and by age 24 have moved on to international business.
Instability. In the course of all these identity explorations there are many changes — in jobs, in love partners, in where they live and in plans for the future. More than any other stage of life, it is difficult to predict where they'll be and what they'll be doing from one year to the next.
Self-focus. Emerging adults are focusing on their self-development and have relatively few obligations to others, so they have more freedom than people of other ages have. You can text them, and they may text you back — or they may not. It's important to them to carve out a space where they can make their own decisions.
Feeling In-Between. Most emerging adults feel somewhere in-between adolescence and adulthood, on the way to adulthood but not there yet. And most are in no particular hurry, although nearly all get there eventually. Adulthood means paying your own bills and taking on all sorts of responsibilities, something they regard with mixed feelings.
Sense of Possibilities. Most are highly optimistic about their future and believe that all doors are still potentially open to them. Even though nearly all are struggling in the present, both personally and financially, they believe that eventually they'll snag that just-right job and find their soul mate.
In many ways, the rise of this new life stage is a good thing. Why shouldn't young people take most of their twenties to try out many possible paths?
Most of them make use of the freedom of emerging adulthood to have experiences they couldn't have when they were younger and probably won't be able to have when they're older, such as teaching in China for a year, perhaps, or taking a low-paid but fascinating internship with a nonprofit organization.
But there's a downside as well. Some emerging adults feel overwhelmed by the challenges of this life stage and drift along aimlessly, waiting for something to happen rather than making it happen. Sometimes parents are surprised and dismayed to find that the emotional and financial responsibilities of parenting last for many years longer than they had anticipated.
So, what should parents do? We think it's wise to be patient with emerging adults, as long as they seem to have a Plan with a capital P and are trying to move it along. Try to put aside the timetable that applied decades ago and respect the longer road to adulthood they are traveling today. Encourage them and provide support when they seem open to it, but learn when to step back and let them make their way — including their mistakes — on their own. It's a delicate balance.
Above all, parents, it can help to realize that the winding road to adulthood is the new normal. You may be relieved to learn that nearly everyone grows out of emerging adulthood and, by about age 30, takes on the roles of young adulthood — marriage, parenthood and a stable job. Seeing emerging adulthood as a normal stage of life today can help ease our anxiety and maybe even allow us to celebrate our emerging adults' energy, optimism and appetite for life.
Jeffrey Jensen Arnett is a research professor of psychology at Clark University and author of Emerging Adulthood: The Winding Road from the Late Teens Through the Twenties. Elizabeth Fishel is a widely published writer on family issues and the author of four nonfiction books, including Sisters and Reunion. They are working on a parents' guide to emerging adulthood, to be published by Workman in 2012.

Dear Readers: I wanted to thank Georgina Vargas and Oscar Mandagaran for their wonderful discussion of the art and history of Tango last night. I am afraid my fast, mid-western dialect was a but much, but Silvio was the gracious translator and we had a ton of fun (click HERE for the show link). Georgina has a CD she is working on, and we were treated to some of her incredible, passionate singing.
I came across some amusing, entertaining, and informative links that wanted to share today.
The Pharaoh Island: 90 years after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, how Britain has embraced Egyptian architecture
There may not be a sphinx on every street corner in London or Manchester, but Egypt has had a bigger influence on British architecture than you would think.
From cinemas to supermarkets, factories to mausoleums, a new book has revealed the deep-seated influence the ancient territory has had on British building design for more than 200 years.
'Egypt in England' by Chris Elliott examines over 50 Egyptian sites in Britain, revealing the curious stories behind these unusual and often outlandish pieces of architecture and interior design.
For centuries the wonder of Ancient Egypt remained largely inaccessible to European travellers, until its 'rediscovery' in the 19th century.
During England's Regency era (1811-1820) Egyptian style became the very height of fashion.
This 'Egyptomania' was fuelled by the British discovery, exactly 90 years ago this November, of Tutankhamun's tomb, which gave the world some of its most iconic images of the ancient civilisation.
Part of the reason for Britain's "Egyptomania" is that used the French Description de l'Egypte, with was a graphic illustration of the wonders discovered by Napoleon's expedition into Egypt.
Which brings me to the subject of my next post, Word Warrior's piece — DEMOCRATS PUSH FOR TOTAL VICTORY — that likens Obama to Napoleon.
It appears as if President Obama and the Democrats are taking a page from Napoleon's playbook. Smelling blood in the water, they seek to turn a slender tactical victory on election night into a strategic political victory. Pursuing a relentlessly partisan, populist approach the President seeks to pursue the disordered and demoralized Republicans off the looming "fiscal cliff".
After 3 weeks of leaving them hanging, the President has contemptuously placed before the Republicans an offer that is little more than insulting: a tax hike of $1.6 trillion; in return for an ephemeral promise of addressing essential entitlement cuts sometime in the future.
I am tired of Obama being compared to Roman Emperors, so this was a very refreshing take! The entire piece is a must-read, so please head on over. In a related piece, Lonely Conservative note: Americans' Net Worth Drops To 43 Year Low

As a side note, I will be chatting with Aaron Clarey, Captain Capitalism this Wednesday on Canto Talk. He has a wonderful analysis about our current batch of college students: The Pathetic Conformity of Young "Rebels"
As a student I remember my teachers and I were sworn enemies. It was never stated, but it was obvious through actions and behaviors, and as quickly as the first week of kindergarten, that teachers were not there to help the students, but to take advantage of them. I do not mean in a "physical" or "sexually abusive" way, but in a financial and psychological way. It was very apparent to me at the age of 5 that the teachers were not there to help `us, they were there for ulterior motives, and me and my peers would be the victims in this racket.
Obviously I could not articulate this at that time. I didn't have the vocabulary, the thought, let alone the context. But now in hindsight and knowing the racket education is, I can identify precisely what was going on. Young adults, too lazy to find real work, used "educating the children" as an excuse to avoid math, rigor or any career endeavor that required effort. And so, for 13 years, me and millions of other youth had to suffer at the hands of overpaid, overglorified, inferior-human, baby sitters, and though we couldn't articulate the argument above, we intuitively KNEW IT becuase of the day in, day out hell these morons forced upon us. It was WAR. And it was between the innocent students and the people posing as teachers (why else would "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" be so popular?).
Fast forward to today and times have definitely changed. And changed for the worse.
Finally, check out College Insurrection friend, American Glob's piece on the 5 People Fox News should kick to the curb and see if you agree!

Competition It is a Monday, and we're all looking at another five days of miserable toil before the glory of the weekend beckons once more. We can't do much about that, but how's this for a way to ease the pain of a new week?
Reg reader Alan Howlett sent us word of a very silly tech prank, and we've decided to turn it into a competition. As you read on, keep in mind that there will be a test at the end.
Over to Alan:
I bought a Synology DS-207 Network-Attached-Storage (NAS) device and it arrived yesterday. I have set it up as the primary file server for my office and am totally in love with it. It's fantastic- it does nearly everything our Windows 2000 Server PC did...
Yes, yes. you like your new shiny bit of kit. Enough eulogising, and on with the story, please...
It does, however, look like a toaster and I have been informally calling it "the toaster" in the office.
Anyway, I had also bought an actual toaster that arrived on the same day. The real toaster has some slots on the top, and the synology has lights, but apart from that they are very similar.
Imagine my amusement when the actual toaster arrived first, and I realized that I could fit a hard disk into each bread slot. I had a customer (also a friend) about to visit, so I put 2 x 40GB drives into it, tucked in a network cable, and persuaded him that the toaster was actually a NAS device.
Those of us in the know kept commenting on the need for the toaster to run cool so as to prevent the disks burning etc., but our customer did not suspect and was convinced that it was a pretty good bit of kit.
I will keep his identity secret to spare his blushes, but everyone in the office found it hilarious.
Just in case anyone is worried about doing business with us, we have played practical jokes on each other before.
Stunning work. We particularly like the post-it note that is stuck on the side. Presumably this has a phony IP address scribbled on it, for added authenticity.
Here's the test: can you do any better? In a Jackass-meets-BOFH style contest, we want to see photographic evidence of silly stuff like this.
The rules are simple, and few:
- The victim (we assume there will be one) must be at least slightly computer savvy - pranks on total non-techies don't count.
- No toasters (or people) should be physically hurt in the cause of this tomfoolery. Mental anguish is fine; toasters are very robust like that.
Toasters are not essential. Pictures, however, are. Email your submissions to: email@example.com by Friday, 20 July.
We'll select the cream of the crop and then turn the finalists over to El Reg's beloved readers for a public vote. The eventual winner will get a Reg Goodie Bag. ®

"Mexican Made Easy"
How can you not love the bright flavors, spices and chilies used in Mexican cooking? Chef and cookbook author Roberto Santibanz shares three simple recipes anyone can make in their own kitchen, like a Simple Adobo Marinated Chicken - eat it alone or use that chicken in some Quick and Easy Quesadillas.

Many say rescue dogs are some of the kindest, sweetest, most loveable pets one could ever have. There's at least one happy family on the beach that can agree with that statement.
Several months ago, a lost, neglected and malnourished older female dog was found roaming the streets of Fort Myers Beach. She was picked up by our local Find a Home, Give a Home rescue foundation, to bring in and find a new home for her, after her previous owner was never found.
Coincidentally, at the same time, island locals Christina DeFays and David Caamano were on the search for a new furry family member, particularly an older rescue, who is normally harder to find homes for.
Article Photos
Island local Christina DeFays was happy to rescue a loveable older pup she named Ginger. The duo can be seen on casual beach walks regularly, dipping their toes in the sand and soaking in some rays. Photos courtesy CHRISTINA DeFAYS.
When the newly-expecting family met this sweet pup, who is now named Ginger, it was truly a match made in heaven.
"Ginger is a great example of adoption success, especially for an older animal," Christina said "It took a few weeks, but her personality is really shining through now that she knows she really has a family and this is home. She's really is such a good girl. It makes us so happy that the last years of Ginger's life will be happy and loving!"
Ginger now seems to have the perfect life. She and Christina go out on regular walks along the shore, she loves to soak up the sun with her new family in the sand (drinking cool, bottled water to keep hydrated), and even has a great little kitty companion.
"It always makes me so happy to hear these wonderful success stories about our rescues," said Isabelle Wells, co-founder of the Find a Home, Give a Home Foundation. I'm so glad Ginger has a happy new home with such a happy family."

2006-07 Women's Basketball
Mt. St. Joseph 65, Bluffton 60
Beavers can't overcome turnovers in 65-60 loss at the Mount
February 14, 2007
CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Bluffton University women's basketball team placed four players in double figures but it was unable to overcome a 25-point effort by Christina Marsh as the Lions held on for a 65-60 win over the Beavers on Wednesday, February 14, 2007. The loss dropped Bluffton to 5-19 overall and 3-12 in the HCAC while MSJ improved to 7-17 with a 2-14 mark in the conference.
Tanya Rickenberg (Paulding/Paulding) scored the first points of the game two minutes in to give the Beavers an early 2-0 lead.
Former Bluffton player Ashleigh Stallkamp capped a 14-0 Mt. St. Joseph run when she dialed long distance at the 14:25 mark, giving the Lions a 14-2 lead.
A Marsh jumper put the Lions up, 17-6, before Bluffton responded with seven consecutive points, including triples from freshmen Lindsay Ebbeskotte (Delphos/Jefferson) and Vicki Auer (Cincinnati/Roger Bacon) midway through the opening stanza.
Bluffton women's career scoring leader Tanya Rickenberg scored four straight points and junior post Lindsay Bush (Howard/East Knox) hit back-to-back chip shots to knot the game at 21 with 5:35 on the clock in the first half.
Eight consecutive Marsh points put the Lions back on top by six, 29-23, at the two-minute mark.
The Beavers rallied for the last six points of the half to tie the contest at 29 heading to the break thanks to free throws from Amanda Bell (Napoleon/Liberty Center) and Rickenberg and an Ebbeskotte layin.
Ebbeskotte and Auer again combined for consecutive treys which gave the Beavers a 37-31 lead early in the second half.
Marsh, who led the Lions with a game-high 25 points on the night, knocked down a pair of three-pointers to cut the MSJ deficit to 39-37 with 13:13 to play.
A Sarah Bruner (Wauseon/Pettisville) bucket put the Beavers up by three with just under 10 minutes to play in the game.
Three straight Lions' hoops turned Bluffton's three point advantage into a three point deficit less than two minutes later.
When Auer hit her third trifecta of the night with 7:10 on the clock, the Beavers had their last lead of the game, 48-47, as the Mount used a 15-6 jag over the next five minutes to open up a 62-54 lead over the visitors.
Ebbeskotte hit her third triple of the evening and Lindsay Bush scored three straight points to narrow the gap to three points with 21 ticks remaining, but a pair of missed shots and two Ashley Griffith makes from the stripe sealed the victory for the Lions, 65-60, giving MSJ a split with the Beavers this year.
The Beavers were 22-of-48 from the field (45.8 percent), including 7-of-15 from outside the arc for 46.7 percent. MSJ was only 23-of-63 on field goals (36.5 percent), but the Lions took advantage of 26 Bluffton turnovers.
Lindsay Bush led the Beavers with 15 points and 12 rebounds on an outstanding 7-of-9 shooting night from the field. Tanya Rickenberg hit 5-of-8 shots for 14 points and she also dished out a team-high six assists. Vicki Auer and Lindsay Ebbeskotte both knocked down three treys on their way to 11 points each. Amanda Bell dropped five dimes on the Lions' defense.
The Beavers will travel to Hanover College on Saturday, February 17, 2007, for their regular season finale. The 1 p.m. contest is the first game of a women's and men's doubleheader versus the Panthers.

Tito Ortiz Seeking to Annoy as Many MMA Organizations as Possible
Despite announcing that he had signed a "ground-breaking record" deal with Affliction, Tito Ortiz is now said to be negotiating with other organizations, including Elite XC and the crazy Kentuckians of the AFL. It seems only fair. Why should Affliction get to hog all the Tito crazy? Their contract negotiations with him are said to be troubled, so that could be the impetus for him looking elsewhere. He's even said to be in talks with the UFC, which might be the source of this anonymous quote:
"I don't know if we're really negotiating, or simply helping Tito stroke his giant ego," one frustrated company representative said Sunday, Aug. 17.
Why does it have to be an either/or situation? Why can't it be both? This is Tito Ortiz we're talking about. Most of his actions are designed to boost his ego.
The idea that Tito could end up back in the UFC is, in a word, insane. Not only is he not enough of a draw at this point to justify the price tag or the headache, but Dana White seems to genuinely hate him too much to give him any more money or TV time. It would seem more likely that the UFC is trying to drive the price up on Affliction, but that's just one man talking sense.
If Ortiz does sign with the AFL — the organization known for giving huge contracts to lesser-known female fighters and putting many of their economic eggs into the AFL-brand dress pants basket — I think it's safe to say that they will officially be the zaniest and least viable MMA organization in existence. Now that I think about it, that does seem like the appropriate home for Tito.Read More DIGG THIS

I'm Hearing Year of the Linux Machine around here a lot again (again, or continuously... you decide).
Maybe you missed the fact that Asus posted Windows XP drivers for their Eee PC on their website. Linux was a way of keeping the cost down. And that's the only reason.
If he did, he wasn't the only one.
I've yet to see anyone here post actual numbers for sales of the gPC.
The rave reviews came from Geeks. Not from the Walmart customer who needed a functional modem, dial-up at $10 a month. Walmart has a lot of customers who fit that profile.
But one thing that is catching on is "anything but Vista"
You'll find the gPC at Walmart.com. The only Linux box that you will find at Walmart.
Strangely, I've yet to hear a kind word from the normals in the real world.
Y'know, the odd thing is that I have.
For instance, we hosted several young British missionaries (these were religious missionaries, mind you, not Linux missionaries
I've run across several others in my church who were using Ubuntu when I met them (and that one Suse guy
I'm no longer surprised to meet "normals" using Linux. I'm more surprised nowadays to find someone like you who hasn't.
wait until they have a version of DOSBox for Vista?
Please, explain to me again, why Qbix and the rest of the DOSBox crew should be making emulation software for Microsoft, when they chose not to implement it themselves? It's not really DOSBox's duty to ensure compatibility for Vista.
The fact that DOSBox and Wine are around as packages to help install and run older software is a bonus.
Fact is, this software USED to work in older Microsoft Operating Systems... Yet, the article is saying that alternati
On the contrary, the choice is very bad. It would not surprise me if someone could come up with a set of 5 games that run flawlessly on vista, but fail under wine, which would also say nothing whatsoever about the _general_ compatibility of either platform.
If I take a look at 5 trees in my city and conclude they are sick, I cannot conclude that all trees are sick. If I test 10 keyboards and conclude they all suck, I cannot make the claim that all keyboards suck.
By the way, I tried playing Worms last year in DOSBox and Parallels with FreeDOS. I thought it would be faster in Parallels, but it turns out that Para
And absolutely no report on which platform runs nethack better.
There's a native Linux binary for that
I couldn't play Icewind Dale II in Windows XP. There are issues with many laptop input drivers screwing with the keyboard in that game. I couldn't resolve the problem, so I switched to linux, copied the Icewind Dale II directory, which was patched and had a no-CD crack, and it runs swimmingly. The only issue is that my linux cursor still shows on top of the game, but I rarely notice it.
I also remember trying to play Escape From Monkey Island(tm) in Windows XP, but there was this one part of the game tha
Start explorer, go to soldat directory, open soldat.exe properties. Set compatibility to Windows XP/SP2, disable Aero for this program, run as admin.
And that is why Windows is much easier to use then Linux. The people I know would already look at me as if I was a fish when I would try to explain step 1.
The last step (if I would ever get there) would result in running everything all the time as admin.
If this is your advice to people, you are to be blamed for all the spam I get.
This is a pretty poor "comparison". The author makes some dodgy statements (Aero uses more CPU? not on my PC, where dwm.exe, the Desktop Window Manager that manages Aero Glass, averages around 0-2% CPU at any given time), links to some questionable sources (an article about how Vista Beta 2 sucks for gaming? Beta 2 is over a year and a half old), claiming to have used Vista for "over a year" yet having started with Beta 1 (there was no "Beta 1", but a series of CTPs, or Community Technology Previews, over two years ago and went straight to Beta 2 in May 2006 after the "feature complete" February 2006 CTP that could be considered "Beta 1"), and then finishes off by choosing a poor set of games to compare.
Since this article is all about the games, how about we look at those?
For posterity, I'm testing on a 2.5 year old Dell laptop with a 1.73GHz Pentium M CPU and an ATI x300 GPU, running on 2GB of RAM and running Vista Ultimate since launch. I'm not a huge PC gamer, but then neither is the author so it's a fair comparison. These days, about the only game I play on this laptop is Galactic Civilizations II, which again works flawlessly under Vista.
Also, I'm not getting into performance here because a) I don't really care to do benchmarking -- if a game works well enough for me to play, that's good enough for me, and b) my machine is a laptop, and an old one at that, so it wouldn't really be a fair comparison to the latest and greatest laptops and desktops of today.
Out of curiosity, why are you running Vista on your older laptop?
Because I can? Because it works? Because the laptop runs it quite well and saves me money not having to buy a new laptop (probably in the cards for this year if I get any more dead pixels in the LCD or if my battery starts dying, though)? The laptop is not dual-core, though I did upgrade to 2GB of RAM and a 7200RPM hard drive (did that back with XP just as a general hardware refresh, not in prep for Vista). Functionality-wise, Aero Glass
If Falcon 4: Allied force, and the other Falcon 4 variants will run satisfactorily under WINE, i'll go back to Linux full time (have run it since 96 in various jobs including desktop, but my home pc is for games), but i'm too much of a flight sim nerd to give up Falcon...

That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life. That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage.
My Dog Has Fleas is a positively fantasic password compared to the usual choice of a middle name, spouse's name, child's name or birthdate.
Or, of course, the infamous "password."
What is this infamous "password?"
Everyone's always talking about it, but noone will ever tell me!
A study a year or so back indicated that the most popular choice for a password is, in fact, the word password.
Similiar problem with a Windows 2000 server using Services for Macintosh. Microsoft uses an old authentication model which doesn't support long passwords... unless you install Microsoft's client-side authentication model, which is too buggy to use (i.e. authentication windows pop up BELOW everything else).
Only long passwords and encouraging the users to use good quality passwords/phrases really helps.
Ultimately though, these passphrases are flawed anyway- they are a form of shared password. History has shown this to be a thoroughly bad idea, one passphrase per user/machine is a far better idea; and even the user shouldn't know what it is (that way it can't get beaten out of them- black cosh crytography works pretty darn well.) These standards organisations aren't even trying.
Well, the second sentence in the article does say that the standard provides for each MAC address to be given a different key. In fact it's called a "Pairwise Master Key."Ultimately though, these passphrases are flawed anyway- they are a form of shared password. History has shown this to be a thoroughly bad idea, one passphrase per user/machine is a far better idea... These standards organisations aren't even trying.
If I understand correctly, WEP is vulnerable to this as well. You can capture one packet, decode it against a given passphrase, and then see if the IP header on the decoded packet has a correct checksum. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Australian soldiers acted within their rules of engagement when they shot dead an Afghan civilian motorcyclist who accelerated towards them after failing to heed their directions to stop, a defence inquiry has found.
Only a short time earlier, the soldiers had been warned of a possible insurgent motorcycle suicide bomb attack directed at the meeting of Provincial Reconstruction Team and Afghan officials they were guarding at the Afghan Ministry of Justice compound in Tarin Kowt.
In line with defence policy to investigate the deaths of Afghan civilians killed by Australian soldiers, the incident was examined by a defence inquiry officer whose report was released on Friday.
He concluded the soldiers had little time to react to a perceived threat and opened fire in accordance with Australian rules of engagement.
The unnamed man was killed on October 29, 2011, the same day as an insider attack by a rogue Afghan soldier killed three Australians at a patrol base in northern Kandahar province.
The inquiry officer concluded the two incidents were unrelated.
Soldiers described how the man on the motorcycle appeared about 60 metres away and rode towards them, ignoring calls and gestures to stop.
Two soldiers believed he was accelerating and an attack was imminent. Both opened fire.
"This is the bloke, this is the IED (improvised explosive device) and he was going to come for our call sign and crump it. We are all going to die," is what one subsequently told the inquiry officer he was thinking in those few seconds.
The inquiry officer said the soldiers should have been equipped with pen flares or laser dazzlers, which are issued to some Australian units to emphatically warn Afghan motorists to stop at checkpoints.
However, on this occasion there would have been no time to use them, he found.

Aren't you supposed to be talking shit about all this?
The Pats signed Donte' Stallworth. If their defense doesn't crumble, that'll make up for the lack of complete offensive-edge that they were missing last year.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Not many free-agent backs left, TJ Duckett went to the Lions
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Lots of Bronco signings:
Patrick Ramsey
Brandon Stokley
non-Bronco, Seahawk Patrick Kerney's house gets you raped.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
The Washington Redskins have agreed to trade safety Adam Archuleta to the Chicago Bears for a conditional sixth-round draft pick, NFL.com reported Tuesday.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
hahahah stupid Redskins.
THE Eagles rule all!!! best team ever!
Brain D - best player ever!
A good song should make you wanna tap your feet and get with your girl. A great song should destroy cops and set fire to the suburbs. Im only interested in writing great songs. - Tom Morello
I'm giving Gruden one more year.
Javon Walker
Brandon Stokley
Rod Smith
Brandon Marshall
Quincy Morgan
other bit players and benched folks
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Put Marshall between Walker and Stokley and that's basically the depth chart.
And don't forget to include Daniel Graham and Tony Scheffler, who are both extremely capable receiving options at tight end.
I'm so fucking excited for this season.
Brad, where are the Niners drafting in the first round this year? And do they have a surplus of late round picks? They should be trying to trade for Detroit's #2 pick so they can take Johnson as well.
I think Rod maybe done.
Oh not hopefully. Definitely.
I think it comes down to two things.
1. Dre' Bly needs to get his head out of his ass. He'll have a 10 interception season in this defense. And they'll take care of him financially if he does.
2. They should make some noise in the draft. Move up and get Gaines Adams or LaRon Landry. Shop those later picks; they've got plenty of depth at every position except defensive backfield, so they don't need to load up in the draft. Just get 1-2 smart high picks.
They do these things, then Rod Smith can retire a 3-time NFL champ.
I completly agree about Bly. I just hope he does not have an attitude problem, there will be a lot of focus on him because of the loss of Darrett. The Broncos always do make noise in the draft even if it is picking players that no one else will touch. Mike Shanahan's is huge on giving second chances.
I really hope that Rod can go out on a high note this year.
Oh & btw im doing work on mike Shanahan's new home its fucking huge. Ill post pics when its complete im guessing by July.
49ers are drafting at 11 and 42.
They'll likely take a DE like Gaines Adams or Jarvis Moss or even my prized Louisville DT Amobi Okoye or even Alan Branch.
At 42, they'll probably pick up a new weapon for Smith to throw to like Steve Smith or Sidney Rice.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Assuming Alex Smith doesn't pull a Plummer and go in the tank after his OC/mentor leaves, then the Niners are set for probably the next decade.
I think that's a good strategy, Bradley. But doesn't Johnson stir at least a small desire within you for the Niners to try to get him? Particularly since Detroit's #2 pick is apparently up for grabs.
On that note, REALLY like what the Cards have done this off season (first time I think I have ever said that). They didn't panic, and go all crazy with the free agents. Now, this strategy only works if they draft well. I may have to amend this post in a few months...
I'd gladly take Calvin Johnson. Gladly. He's probably worth trading the #11 pick and a 3rd round pick. I really like that he's not douche-y based on the interviews I've seen. He doesn't have a lot of arrogance or anger. He didn't showboat a lot in college. Very workmanlike. He'd fit well into the 49ers organization, and probably quite poorly into the flashier Raiders club.
From the looks of it, the 49ers are building for 2008. They'll probably draft a CB and a LB in the first 4 rounds. Probably some OL prospects in the later rounds.
Ted Ginn Jr is also an option for that 11 pick, unfortunately. That's a major reach. I like him. But I don't like him as anything other than a returner.

Dark Night
| 0 votes and 0 reviews Write a Review
While distant shots of sexual encounters made this melodrama scandalous upon its release in its native Taiwan, most Western audiences would find few scenes seriously objectionable in this story about a woman's extramarital affair. Li Ling (Sue Ming-ming) is unhappily married to a man who pays little attention to her.
When he leaves on a trip, she is sorely tried by temptation. Her husband's best friend makes clear and explicit advances in her direction. Agonizing over which course of action to take, she finally opts for the affair -- and all the trouble that a clandestine relationship can bring.

Evangel Profile
Jeremy Harris: Assistant professor of Computer Science and Information Systems, Evangel eUniversity director
March 25, 2012
A former graduate of Evangel's Music Department, Jeremy Harris has been teaching Computer Science courses at Evangel since 2004. Along with teaching classes, Harris is also the faculty administrator of ANGEL, Evangel's online learning system.
The multi-talented Harris has a master's degree in both vocal performance and business administration from Missouri State University. Along with his experience teaching computer information systems courses at Missouri State and Evangel, Harris has been a voice instructor, choral director and church music pastor as well as a performer in operas, choral concerts and solo recitals. Aside from music, Harris enjoys reading science fiction and history books. He is a big fan of all the Star Trek series, and he enjoys collecting electronic gadgets. Harris' wife, Erica, also works at Evangel as an assistant professor of Biology, and they have three children.
What originally sparked your interest in computer science?
My background was in music. However, I was introduced to computers at an early age. My mother signed me up for a BASIC programming course when I was in 5th grade, and I have always been fascinated with digital technology. During my vocal master's, I began to teach computer courses as an adjunct for extra money. I enjoyed it so much, and was good enough at it, that MSU asked me to teach full time.
You and your wife Erica were both students here at Evangel. Can you tell me a little bit about how you met?
We actually met in Concert Band (before Concert Orchestra, there was Concert Band). The first time there was an attraction was during the band's 1993 summer European Tour. She played flute; I sang and played the euphonium/tuba. The following semester we started dating and were married almost two years later.
What brought you back to Evangel to teach?
My wife was already teaching and coordinating the science labs at Evangel while I was working on my MBA. When I graduated, Evangel asked me to come over and teach computer science and oversee the fledging learning management system (at that time WebCT).
What makes taking Computer Science classes at Evangel unique?
As with everything at Evangel, it's the unique Christian perspective infused and integrated into what we teach and what students learn. The basics of computers are the same whether you learn them at MSU or Evangel, the difference is the vision of use (for Gods' glory) and the principles that will direct your use of them.
What is your favorite part about working with Evangel students?
The enthusiasm with which the students learn and live. They want to learn the things we can teach them and live the way God wants them to live using that which they've learned.
What is your most memorable achievement so far?
Right now, it's finishing my Ph.D. Hopefully I'll be finished in the next month or so, and I'll be very happy (my wife will be, too).
What advice do you have for prospective Evangel students, particularly those interested in Computer Science?
Don't just look at the what, but look at the how, with the big picture in mind. Like I mentioned, you can learn the basics of computer science anywhere. But, the Christian experience at Evangel (and all you'll learn through a liberal arts education) will shape who you'll be for the rest of your life.

The American Legion Twins split a doubleheader with Dimond in Anchorage on Sunday.
The Twins lost the first game, a league contest, by the score of 10-8 in nine innings. The local nine came back to win the second game 17-4. The Twins are now 6-8 in the league and 8-12 overall.
The Twins return to Kenai to play in the Bill Miller Big Fish Tournament from Tuesday to Thursday. The Twins play at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park.
AJ Hull took the loss in the first game for the Twins. Shayne Miller was 3-for-5 with two doubles, while Ben Barton was 2-for-5 and Josiah Covey was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Jake Darrow also had a double.
"Being able to play with Dimond was a big thing," Twins assistant head coach Gresham Oliver said. "They 10-runned us in both games earlier this year."
The Twins did more than just play with the Lynx in the second game. Miller pitched the first three innings for the win, while Mason Kanakis pitched the last four.
Ethan Oliver was 3-for-4 with four runs; Darrow, Hull and Covey had triples; and Dylan Morrison was 3-for-4 with a run and two RBIs.
"We had 15 hits in the second game," Oliver said. "Almost all of our starters had a hit.
"We played really well. We only had one error in the second game."

Despite posting lower numbers in some sectors for the second quarter, due primarily to the departures of Pinnacle Airlines and Technicolor, the local commercial real estate market is faring well in 2013.
Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz law firm is renewing the lease and expanding its Downtown office.
(Memphis News/Andrew J. Breig)
"We have definitely seen a slight increase in activity," said Anthony Lopes, one of the managing directors at Sperry Van Ness Investec Realty Services. "Overall we are in much better shape than a few years ago."
Sperry Van Ness Investec Realty Services handles mostly office space, leasing nearly 1 million square feet of space. Lopes said business has been better this year than during 2011 and 2012, and the company saw the strongest interest during the quarter in the medical office sector.
"We've got some serious interest right now coming from medical users in Midtown and East Memphis," said Lopes, who would like to see the city do more to woo nonmedical business. "Obviously the city does a great job attracting industrial users, but they don't usually provide a lot of high-paying jobs. So now we need to figure out how to attract more white-collar users."
The overall office vacancy rate jumped to nearly 29.6 percent in the second quarter from 15.6 percent in the first quarter, according to the mid-year Advisor Report from Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors. Pinnacle Airlines helped drive that number up when it vacated 170,000 square feet at One Commerce Square.
On a more positive note, the law firm Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC announced the lease renewal and expansion of its Downtown office space in the First Tennessee Building to more than 107,000 square feet, and the state of Tennessee is in the market for as much as 300,000 square feet, including more than 100,000 square feet of space Downtown.
Despite the high-profile movement with CRE users Downtown, the strength of East Memphis office properties continues to buoy the market.
"A bright spot is Class A-plus space in East Memphis. It's kind of a tale of two markets, with Class A-plus space in East Memphis and then everything else," said Kemp Conrad, president of Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors Asset Services, who expects to see a wave of signings in the third and fourth quarters. "I think we might even see some new Class A buildings announced."
One new building is already underway. Near the end of last year, International Paper announced plans to build a 235,000-square-foot building on its campus in the East Memphis market.
On the industrial side, Memphis suffered a rare downturn. Saddled by the Technicolor departure, the sector posted negative absorption of 515,273 square feet for the quarter, but for the year the market still shows positive absorption of 491,279 square feet. Vacancy rates rose to 15.1 percent, up from 14.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013.
"However, the investment sales market remains very strong, with institutional owners continuing to buy product in Memphis, as some owners here reallocate assets or take some chips off the table," Conrad said.
In the past few weeks Conrad has seen activity pick up, with industrial space prospects now totaling more than 10 million square feet.

Sharon's arrested, Genevieve puts Tucker on notice, and Ronan kisses Phyllis.
In his apartment, Daniel takes a call from Phyllis who fills him in on a woman claiming to be Sheila taking Daisy out of Fairview. Heather comes in so he hangs up. Heather gets up to speed and tells him she'll be notified if Daisy turns up. They kiss, and then entertain themselves with her guitar before discussing Daisy. Daniel tells Heather he'll divorce Daisy in absentia and will need her help. Heather teases he's sleeping with her for legal advice.
Phyllis hangs up from Daniel and answers the penthouse door - it's Ronan. He tells her Christine took him off the case, but he'll stick to his story. He stops Phyllis from going after Christine. She worries about the ramifications of his lie. He reassures her, and then moves in close. Phyllis reminds him she's married to Nick. Ronan husks, "You feel it too, don't you?" He kisses her passionately. She gasps that he should go. He asks her to let him know when she decides to be straight with herself.
Sharon arrives at the tackhouse with a birthday gift for Faith. Noah comes downstairs and confronts her about Victor's funeral. Nick takes Faith upstairs as they bicker. There's a knock - it's the cops. They arrest Sharon.
Jack drops in on Tucker at his office. He's got Genevieve in tow, and says he can prove Tucker manipulated share prices. Tucker guffaws that Genevieve was stripped of her assets by the SEC - they won't listen to her. Jack calls his bluff. Tucker asks for 48 hours. After Jack leaves, he asks Gen what she's up to. She complains about what he did to Victor, and how he made her grovel for every dime. Tucker laughs at her claim that Jack's an innocent victim. They bicker. Gen reads him the riot act for leaving Victor in danger, and says she's helping Jack because he's a good man - he used to be like that too. She reminds him she has his text messages before leaving.
At the ranch, Victor and Nikki discuss Faith's birthday. He expects word on Sharon soon. Nikki's final divorce decree from Jack is delivered. Nikki leaves to meet Katherine as Avery arrives. She tells Victor that Michael confirmed Sharon's arrest. Victor muses, "And so it begins." Avery thinks she'll be behind bars for a long time. Victor also wants an annulment.
At the station, Sharon tells Nick, who accompanied her, to get Victor to get back down. In return, she'll drop her civil suit. Nick hisses that he's there for the kids - he won't go to his dad for her. Sharon says Faith needs her, but Nick thinks otherwise. He says she has to answer for the things she's done. Sharon's taken to a cell and Victor appears. Sharon tells him she merely did what he would have wanted - stopped people from walking on her. Victor points out that she destroyed the pre-nup, called off the search for him, and fired his employees. Sharon reminds him she's the mother of his grandchildren. Victor says he's through with her. Later, Tucker arrives saying he cares about what happens to her. Sharon doesn't believe a word out of his mouth.
At the Club, Nikki tells Katherine that Sharon's being arrested. Kay thinks it's about time she pays. Nikki admits it's sad, but Victor thinks it's best Sharon's not in her children's lives at all. They discuss Nikki and Victor's future. Nikki's not sure what's ahead.
Jack and Genevieve catch up at the Club bar. Genevieve gives him the rundown on her past with Tucker, but insists it's over - they're not the same people anymore. She's determined to win back Jack's trust.
Nick returns to the tackhouse and tells Noah that Sharon's been booked. Avery arrives and warns Nick that Victor will take this all the way. They don hats and bring out Faith's birthday cake.
Nikki and Victor embrace at the ranch and talk about being there for Faith and Noah. When Nikki goes upstairs, Victor pulls out an engagement ring.
Genoa City Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Young and the Restless:
Tucker tells Genevieve he'll leave when he's damn good and ready. She threatens to call security.
Eden, with Kyle, tells Paul she's been thinking she should try the hypnosis thing again.
Phyllis asks Nick if he'll be able to trust her again. He doesn't know.

DENVER (AP) -- Battleground Colorado is edging slightly closer to Republican Mitt Romney, but President Barack Obama is still leading after last week's presidential debate at the University of Denver.
A poll commissioned by the school showed Obama leading Romney among likely voters by 4 points, 47 percent to 43 percent. The poll had a 4-point margin of error.
The DU poll also showed a tossup for the marijuana legalization question. Fifty percent planned to vote for legalizing pot, 40 percent planned to vote against it, and 10 percent weren't sure.
Coloradans were more united on recognizing same-sex couples. Seventy-three percent supported legal recognition of same-sex relationships, either marriage or civil unions.
The telephone survey included 604 likely voters. It was conducted Oct. 4-5 by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, Iowa.

Hi all.
My boardgame site is ALMOST done!
But... I still need a save option (for all the various form fields throughout the site). I've been trying to implement the cookie ability but am having all kinds of problems. The script needs to:
- Save all form elements to cookie with ONE button.
- Load all variables back into fields with ONE button.
PROBLEM 1: there is more than 1 form on my page, the scripts I've seen only save variables from a single form (multiple save buttons would be needed - one for each form). I need to be able to save ALL forms with just ONE button (same with loading).
PROBLEM 2: the scripts I've seen only deal with simple text-box variables. what would the code look like to get other types of form elements (ie. radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.
PROBLEM 3: my site has moveable game pieces that need their x & y coordinates saved to and loaded from the cookie as well. Haven't a clue how to approach this one.
As this is my last hurdle to overcome on the site I've been working on for a few years, my brain has fizzled from too much work. So any and all help would be exuberantly appreciated.
ps. my forms are split up as follows:
TOKENS, UPGRADES, ETC. (moveable pieces)(not a form obviously)
PLAYER TURN (radio buttons - form 1)
CURRENT CASH (textbox - form 2)
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP (form 3)
PROPERTY UPGRADES (form 3 also)
COLLECTABLE DRAW CARDS (checkboxes, ownership drop-downs - form 4)
Thanks in advance
