The numbers are certainly deserved since XLV was one of the more exciting championship games I've seen in a very long time--in any sport. The outcome wasn't what I expected but it was entertaining from top to bottom.
Actually, there was a terrible bit in the middle where my television started flickering and the sound started to break apart. No matter how hard I hit my television it just wouldn't right itself and, in some spots, started to get so bad I thought my TV was going to break. But then the Black Eyed Peas got off the stage and everything was cool again.

FS#981 - New tool: Ellipse - Equidistant

Bug or Feature request?
Tool "Parallel" is not working on an intact ellipse. If I explode the ellipse it will work but then it turns out to a Sisyphus task ...
Wednesday, 24 June 2015, 20:34 GMT+2
Reason for closing: Implemented
This might seem trivial but it is not at all. The equidistant curve of an ellipse it NOT another ellipse but another type of curve.
QCAD does not have an algorithm at this point to compute that curve.
Hi Husky
Exploding the ellipse produces a polyline, so the polyline 'offset' tool could be used as a solution here!
Thanks for the info.
Good idea - I'll use it until we have a better solution. Thanks!

Five MIIS professors took an introductory policy analysis course and turned it into an optional year-long immersive learning opportunity. Students have the option to enroll in a Peru-focused policy class in the fall, design a research project, conduct in-field research as part of a winter-term practicum in Peru, and then follow up by working with the information and data collected as part of a seminar in the spring, all while they are learning the tools of data analysis.
Linking faculty research, alumni activities, and students' desire for practical learning experiences, this is a true MIIS community collaboration. It started with Professors Robert McCleery and Philip Murphy, who have been working on research on the links between poverty and isolation, and grew through connections with the Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development, a non-profit co-founded by alumni Aaron Ebner (MPA '11) and Adam Stieglitz (MPA '11) that is working on community development projects in the isolated Sacred Valley of Peru.
Professor Jeff Dayton-Johnson and his team of 25 International Policy Studies, Master of Public Administration, Master of Business Administration and International Education Management students looked at several dimensions of connectivity as it relates to a poor rural economy like that of Andean Peru. That included roads, telecommunications, connectivity to public services like health care and education, and connectivity via language (while the national language of Peru is Spanish, Quechua is the language spoken by most of the people in the study area).
Five students—Mario Guzmán-Soria, Josefina Lara, Luz Vázquez Ramos, Ximena Ospina, and Rafael Hernández—presented a preliminary report on major themes and initial findings to local authorities in Calca before returning to Monterey. Says Professor Dayton-Johnson about the experience: "This student-organized and delivered presentation in Calca effectively breaks down the barriers between the classroom and the real world of development practice. Our students took advantage of this opportunity to share initial findings from a field research project they had designed and carried out, to respond to policy makers' questions, and to strengthen the relationship between MIIS and this region of Peru. I'm very proud of them and look forward to building on their work with another group of students next J-Term!"

About Thinks
Sometimes good thinks happen and sometimes bad thinks happen. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the two.Some thinks need immediate action and some thinks may remain as thinks forever. Thinks can be angry and heated. Thinks can be joyful. Thinks should never be cold.These thinks are linked to many other wonderful thinks and I like to attribute these.These thinks do not necessary reflect those thinks of my employer.Think long, think on.

iPad Game Review: Amazon: Hidden Expedition
Quick Reply
iPad Game Review: Amazon: Hidden Expedition
Reviewed by Shaun Price
Amazon: Hidden Expedition, created by Big Fish Games, is a very immersive and addictive hidden objects game. The iPad version has the same gameplay as the iPhone version but the graphics have been enhanced a bit.
Amazon: Hidden Expedition offers two modes of gameplay. The first being the main story adventure mode as well as a multiplayer mode. Big Fish Games has also integrated the OpenFeint social system into the game. The Adventure mode entails playing 50 different scenes to find various objects through out the game. The premise of the game is you traveling to the Amazon to revive it using these very rare beetles that you must locate.
Through out each scene or level you are required to locate a total of 10 objects. You are given three hints to use through out that set of scenes. There is a way to get more, by locating five beetles, which gives you another hint. The hints do not roll over from level to level. If you don?t use them it increases your overall score for that level. Some objects are highlighted in blue, which means that there is a special object that must be used in order to get the object that is highlighted.
Multiplayer mode is when you compete against another on a split screen to see how fast you can complete the scene. The game supports multi-touch which makes this gameplay mode possible. There are several time limits that you have to go against. 30 seconds, 60 seconds, even 120 seconds.
The levels get increasingly difficult as you progress further through the game. Depending on how well you do in those levels you are ranked based on how many points you obtain. The scoring is not very clear in Amazon. The OpenFeint incorporated leaderboard shows you those who have the game and have played through and what their total score is.
There are a total of 25 achievements you can obtain for Amazon: Hidden Expedition, including ?Trailblazer? for completing all the chapters, ?Compass? when you score 10,000 points in any chapter, ?Skydive? when you complete any Puzzle in less than 60 seconds and more.
Touch controls are average for this game. When trying to select small objects it makes it very hard to select the object even if you press it several times. The game can lag at times when you select several things at once. The cursor also disappears at times, mainly as a penalty for selecting non-list objects.
The iPad's high-res screen presents a crisp scene that looks fantastic. However, when you start to zoom in, the scene gets a little fuzzy. This makes the gameplay less desirable. The scene should be just as crisp close-up as it?s the iPad version. That fuzziness makes it harder to see some of the objects, especially those that were hidden with a vengeance. (Seriously, hiding a misshapen brown wig in the desert?) While zoomed, Amazon: Hidden Expedition curiously pulls away from the borders, too. I have no idea why because many objects are hidden along the edges of the scene, forcing you to actually pull the border into view when zoomed in. This makes no sense whatsoever.
The background music in Amazon is very simple and repetitive. The SoundFX are also very limited. The one redeeming quality is the ability to play your own music while playing the game. You can select individual songs to play. However, having to scroll through the songs can be very tedious, especially if you have a large music library. There should be an option to choose from playlists as well.
The game is both fun and addictive. It is perfect for those who like the hidden objects games. I don?t know how one could not. It takes me back to the ?Where?s Waldo?? days. Like many recently released games, if you buy Amazon: Hidden Expedition, you can play it on either the iPhone or the iPad which is a great value. The multiplayer also adds value as you can play with someone together to make the gameplay more interesting. We do wish the zoomed-in graphics were more polished on the iPad though.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 4 -
Amazing level detail, but fuzzy image when zooming in.
Sound: - 4 -
Repetitive background music, redeemed with iPod music playability.
Controls: - 3 -
Touch controls, it can lag and even freeze sometimes.
Gameplay: - 4.5 -
Addictive, fun, a great way to pass a few minutes.

- There are no time limits in the single player mode in this game, you can take your time and work at your own pace.
- One nice feature of this game is that you can click on a word from the list and you can see a silhouette of the item on the lower left side. This will allow you to hang on to our hints for a longer period of time.
- Items in this game can be very hard to see at times. A lot of items are very faded or ghost like. For example you can barely see an outline of a sphinx in the clouds.

Sussex County Cricket Club have announced that Zac Toumazi will be their new Chief Executive starting in January 2013.
Zac has a track record of developing business and delivering excellent customer service.
He has extensive experience in the financial services sector having fulfilled senior roles with Citigroup and Goldman Sachs before joining the cricket world.
Zac was at Surrey County Cricket Club for six years and as Group Commercial Director played a major role developing the commercial side at the Oval.
Since 2011, Zac has been Group Commercial Director of Hampshire Cricket where he had a pivotal role staging their first test match and negotiating the AGEAS Bowl ground naming rights.
Jim May, Chairman of Sussex County Cricket Club said "Dave Brooks leaves us in great shape this month after four outstanding years as Chief Executive. We had a very strong group of candidates who applied to succeed him.
"We are very pleased to appoint Zac as we believe his commercial experience, cultural fit and passion for cricket give him the credentials to ensure that Sussex Cricket continues to lead the way both on and off the pitch."
Zac Toumazi said, "I am very excited about being appointed Chief Executive. I look forward to working with the entire team taking Sussex Cricket forward whilst preserving the values that make it so special."

Hiawatha is a secure and advanced Web server for Unix. It has been written with security as its main goal. It features advanced access control, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting, banning of clients who try such exploits, the ability to run CGIs under any UID/GID you want, and many other features. These features make Hiawatha an interesting Web server for those who need more security than what the other available Web servers are offering. Hiawatha is also fast and easy to configure.
Loomes' Nested Set is a class that can be used to manage a tree of information stored in a database. It can perform several types of operations to manipulate a hierarchy of nodes that are stored in a database as table records. Currently, it can insert a root node, insert a node that is child of a given parent, delete a branch of nodes under a given node, delete a single node, rename a node, move nodes, check whether the root node exists, and retrieve the whole tree of nodes.
Tiny Bash Server (TBS) is a small HTTP server. It allows CGI style scripting with .htsh files, which may contain Bash code embedded within normal HTML. TBS uses netcat to bind itself to open port(s). Multiple instances of the server may be run (on different ports and with different docroots) using separate configuration files. TBS comes with all the basic features you expect of a Web server: serving HTML/CSS, handling POST/GET forms, etc. It also passes selected environment variables for use with CGI scripting in .htsh files. However, it is highly not recommended to run TBS on any sort of production system. This is because, as a server, TBS is relatively slow, potentially insecure, and has fewer features than full-fledged servers like Apache HTTPD. A potential use for TBS is to develop browser-based frontends to bash scripts for local usage.
gweb++ is an asynchronous event-driven Web server and reverse proxy. It is written in C++, but it doesn't make use of the STL or of any additional libraries. It supports the following event notification mechanisms: epoll (edge-triggered, Linux), kqueue (FreeBSD), port (Solaris), poll, and select. It has the following main features: HTTP/1.1, reverse proxy, FastCGI, configurable via an XML file, MIME types support, pipelining, virtual hosts, Keep-Alive, directory listing (with an optional footer file), handling of the If-Modified-Since header, HTTP ranges, logs, configurable access logs, and log rotation.
Alaya is a primitive chrooting Web server with basic WebDAV support. It can serve HTTPS and HTTP, and can authenticate using PAM, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, or using its own authentication files that allow for 'native' users that only have access to alaya content. It's intended to be a simple method of sharing content over WebDAV, and though it can be configured with a config file, it's easy to configure by command-line switches alone. Alaya always chroots to ensure that malicious users can't use '..' within a URL to access unintended documents, and that users can't accidentally leave documents in places outside of the chroot. It has a 'ChHome' mode that chroots users into their home directory and serves content from there. It supports .cgi scripts out of a trusted path (so not from within the chrooted WebDAV share) and read-only shared directories that are outside of the chroot (allowing access to shared content when in ChHome mode).
Jkaptive is a simple captive portal without RADIUS (and thus without total security, but at the same time without too much hassle). The reason behind this is because a lot of site administrators don't need tight security; their site is just a café that offers free Internet access on an unsecured WLAN access point connected to the Internet, and they need a ticketing system to make it cumbersome for average people to use this offering without actually buying a single coffee. Jkaptive itself just presents the login page and checks the token. The blocking of unticketed traffic is done through Linux' netfilter. As no proxy server is involved, jkaptive has no performance penalty, nor does it create problems with non-HTTP traffic. Once the token is accepted, jkaptive is out of the way of any network packets completely. For presenting the login page, jkaptive has a built-in Web server, so no additional Web server application is needed.

jsoup is a Java library for working with real-world HTML. It can parse HTML from a URL, file, or string. It can find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors. The HTML elements, attributes, and text can be manipulated. It can clean user-submitted content against a safe white-list. jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild, from pristine and validating to invalid tag-soup; jsoup will create a sensible parse tree.
LEPL is a recursive descent parser library written in Python. It is based on parser combinator libraries popular in functional programming, but also exploits Python language features. Operators provide a friendly syntax, and the consistent use of generators supports full backtracking and resource management. Backtracking implies that a wide variety of grammars are supported; appropriate memoisation ensures that even left-recursive grammars terminate.
Apache OpenNLP is a machine learning based toolkit for the processing of natural language text. It supports the most common NLP tasks, such as tokenization, sentence segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity extraction, chunking, parsing, and coreference resolution. These tasks are usually required to build more advanced text processing services.
JWPL is a language independent, database-driven, high performance Wikipedia API that provides structured access to information nuggets like redirects, categories, articles, and link structure. It contains a Mediawiki Markup parser that can be used to further analyze the contents of a Wikipedia page or standalone with other text, TimeMachine, which reconstructs a snapshot of Wikipedia from a specific date, or multiple snapshots from a time span, and RevisionMachine, which offers efficient access to the history of articles using a dedicated storage format which decreases storage space by 98%. This enables random access to the whole revision history without requiring several terabytes of storage for a single Wikipedia dump.
YAJL (Yet Another JSON Library) is a small event-driven (SAX-style) JSON parser written in ANSI C, and a small validating JSON generator. It's highly portable, data representation independent, fast, generates verbose error messages including context of where the error occurs in the input text, can parse JSON data incrementally off a stream, and is tiny.
A tar-like ultra secure remote deduplicating archiver.
A Java reporting library.

O'Reilly Book Excerpts: Learning Web Design, 2nd Edition
Adding Movies to Your Web Page
Author's note: Although I've been working on web sites since 1993, it's only been in the last year that I've started playing around with video on the Web on my own sites and on some of the sites I've designed. Now that standard web connections are faster than ever, video is more accessible than ever.
The following article is an excerpt from the second edition of my book, Learning Web Design, which is aimed at people who are brand new to web design and production. This excerpt is intended to be a starting point for understanding the basics of web video and is by no means the final word. See the excellent resources at the end of this article for further reading.

When you see a video playing right on a web page, chances are it's

As an alternative, you can provide a link to the movie file and let the user download it whenever they want (Figure 22-5). When the movie downloads, it can be viewed in the browser window with the QuickTime plug-in or it can be played with another movie-playing helper application.
TIP: When linking to an audio or video file, always provide the file size so users can make an informed decision about whether they want to commit to clicking the link.

Movie files
Let's talk a little more about movie files. The QuickTime Movie format (.mov) is ideal for delivering movies over the Web because it is a highly condensed format supported on both PCs and Macs. Movies can also be saved in MPEG (.mpg or .mp2) format or as Windows-only AVI files (.avi).
Making movies is easier than ever with digital video cameras that can be plugged directly into your computer. You'll need to start with a video source (from your camera or videotape). You'll also need video-editing software, such as QuickTime (by Apple), Media Cleaner Pro (by Terran Interactive, http://www.terran.com/), Apple Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Premier if you want to go for professional-level editing (http://www.adobe.com/). If you work on a newer Macintosh, you can take advantage of Apple's iMovie technology, which puts basic movie-making abilities in the hands of consumers (see www.apple.com/imovie/ for more information).
Because video and audio information can be huge, the trick to making web-appropriate movies is optimization--the frame rate, the image compression, and the sound compression (see Optimizing Video for the Web below). All video-editing packages provide the tools you need for compressing your video as small as possible.
Streaming video
Like audio, a video source can be streamed so that it starts playing quickly and continues playing as the data is transferred. The options for video are the same as for audio: RealMedia (.rm), Windows Streaming Media (.wm), and streaming QuickTime. For true streaming performance, the files must be served from a computer outfitted with the appropriate server software. See the companies' web sites, listed earlier in the Streaming audio section, for current information on streaming formats.
Optimizing Video for the Web
Most video editing tools offer automatic web video settings targeted at various Internet connection speeds. You may also want to experiment with these settings individually to find the quality that best suits your video.
Frame size
Common frame sizes for web video are 160 x 120 and 240 x 180. Some developers go as low as 120 x 90. It is not recommended that you use a frame size larger than 320 x 240 with current technology.
Frame rate
Frame rate is the measure of number of frames per second (fps). Standard video is 30 fps. For the Web, a frame rate of 15 or 10 fps is more appropriate.
Color bit depth
Reducing the number of colors from 24-bit to 8-bit will drastically reduce the size of your video, but will also sacrifice quality.
Data rate
This is the rate at which data must be transferred in order for the video to play back smoothly. Data rate is measured in kilobytes per second (Kbps). This is one of the most important settings for web video, particularly for streaming video, and it should be tailored to the targeted Internet connection speed. For 56 KB connections, aim for a data rate of 4 Kbps; 30 Kbps for DSL; and 50 Kbps for cable connections.
Compression scheme
Videos are compressed using compression and decompression algorithms (called codecs). There are many codecs available, but the best choices for web video are H.263 and the Sorenson Video codec, which can achieve very high image quality at lower data rates. Sorenson requires a high-performance processor for playback, so it may not work well on older computers. Sorenson 3 video is a later version which requires the latest hardware and software configurations for playback. As an alternative, the Cinepak codec is a good general-purpose codec that compresses reasonably well and is supported by older computer configurations.
You can set the overall quality of video to low, medium, or high. Medium is fine for most purposes.

According to information found in the Congressional Record (S.J. Res. 179):
Significant numbers of male-related health problems such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, infertility, and colon cancer could be detected and treated if more men were aware of these problems and what can be done to prevent them, or find them early when they are easier to treat. Educating both the public and healthcare providers about the importance of early detection of male health problems will result in reducing rates of mortality for these diseases.
Many men are reluctant to visit their health center or physician for regular screening examinations of male-related problems for a variety of reasons including fear, lack of information, and cost. Men who are educated about the value that preventive health care can play in prolonging their lifespan and their role as a productive family member will be more likely to participate in health screenings.

Skip to comments.Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, coalition forces leader during Persian Gulf War, dies
Posted on 12/27/2012 4:31:56 PM PST by WisconsinladyEdited on 12/28/2012 4:45:17 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
WASHINGTON Truth is, retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf didn't care much for his popular "Stormin' Norman" nickname.
The seemingly no-nonsense Desert Storm commander's reputed temper with aides and subordinates supposedly earned him that rough-and-ready moniker. But others around the general, who died Thursday in Tampa, Fla., at age 78 from complications from pneumonia, knew him as a friendly, talkative and even jovial figure who preferred the somewhat milder sobriquet given by his troops: "The Bear."
That one perhaps suited him better later in his life, when he supported various national causes and children's charities while eschewing the spotlight and resisting efforts to draft him to run for political office.
He lived out a quiet retirement in Tampa, where he'd served his last military assignment and where an elementary school bearing his name is testament to his standing in the community.
Schwarzkopf capped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991 -- but he'd managed to keep a low profile in the public debate over the second Gulf War against Iraq, saying at one point that he doubted victory would be as easy as the White House and the Pentagon predicted.
Schwarzkopf was named commander in chief of U.S. Central Command at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base in 1988, overseeing the headquarters for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly two dozen countries stretching across the Middle East to Afghanistan and the rest of central Asia, plus Pakistan.
What a great man and great leader. I always liked him. I think just about everyone did.
Eternal rest, General.
He is up there sharing War Stories w/ Patton, Halsey, Nimitz and ALL of the other Great Generals/Admirals.
RIP, sir...
Prayers sent.
Rest in Peace good man.
Amen, to Fiddler's Green and the General
"Your country called and you kicked ass. Well done, sir. Well done indeed."
Indeed. RIP, General.
RIP General.
America loses yet another hero.
My husband proudly served under General Schwarzkopf. May he rest in peace, after a job well done and a life well lived.
This one hurts. He will be missed. Men of his ilk will be needed to retake America.
A great man has been spared the experience of seeing his country's political destruction. RIP, sir, thanks for your excellent service
Rest in Peace .
Thanks for the guidance.
Farewell, Gen. Schwrzkopf.
Just heard the sad news..RIP General..I salute your great service to this country. God Bless!
Oh. I had not heard this. What a brave warrior he was. Bless his family with comfort.
About the last General in the Army that I actually respected.
My prayers and sadness go out to his family........
I remember he answered a reporter by asking 'Have you ever been in the middle of a mine field? Let me tell you it's intense.'

The Boston Red Sox won the World Series last week — the first series held since terrorists murdered three and wounded 264 at the Boston Marathon. For most Bostonians, winning the series is a time for celebrating like we used to: duck boat parades, a few too many beers.
But for those few too many Massachusetts elites, this victory is just one more opportunity — atop brunches, luncheons and cocktail parties — to blame the victims of terrorism, and to remind us guilty ones of all the bad things Bostonians have done to deserve whatever it is we get. (Boston Globe Flashback: Do you feel 'empathy' for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev?)
This week's hero is Cambridge author Gish Jen, who used a Sunday Boston Globe op-ed — ostensibly about Boston's win — to showcase just how smart she is. Following an awkwardly long soliloquy on how the Sox's comeback is just like William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (applaud her, ye uncultured swine), Ms. Jen rattled off the names of a few players (she's no Martha Coakley, folks) before getting to her main point: April's terrorist attack on Boston had "renewed a special doubt" about who was to blame for the attacks. Lest we forget,
[T]he Sox were the last baseball team in the league to integrate. … Celtics legend Bill Russell had his house broken into and his bed defecated on. … we had all that trouble around busing. And what about our redlining of Jews? It's hard not to recall these things and wonder: Did we fail the Tsarnaevs somehow?
That would be Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — the Islamist brothers who filled two pressure cookers with nails and ball bearings, and then calmly detonated them in a festive crowd of families. Days later, the brothers claimed a fourth life when they ambushed Sean Collier, a 27-year-old college police officer. (RELATED: Rolling Stone puts Boston Bomber on cover)
"It's not clear that we did [fail them]," Ms. Jen continued, crafting a lifeline she would later use to deny that she blamed Boston. (RELATED: Tamerlan Tsarnaev memorialized at Mayors Against Illegal Guns rally)
"And yet," she waxed poetic, "for people who knew Dzhokhar especially, who had seen him at school, who had studied and partied and played sports with him, the lurking fear has been that we failed to truly open our hearts, that we accepted him, but only up to a point." (RELATED: Boston suspect continued tweeting after mass murder)
Fortunately for time's sake, the ever-charitable Ms. Jen's own sentence serves to highlight her absurdity: If only the people who saw the college sophomore "at school" and "studied and partied and played sports with him" had "accepted him" a little more, he wouldn't have murdered them.

Substance Abuse
Substance Abuse Treatment Centers focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
