The SitePoint PHP blog has a new post from Jacek Barecki talking about a few ways you can include multi-language support in your PHP applications. There's not much in the way of actual code here, but there are links to some other tools that can help get the job done.
Setting up a multilingual site may be a good way to attract new customers to your business or gain more participants in your project. Translating a simple site with a few static pages probably won't probably be complicated, but more complex PHP web applications may require a lot of work when launching multiple language support. In this article I'll present different types of content that need to be taken under consideration when internationalizing a site.
He breaks it down into five different types of content that you might want to translate:
- Multi-language Static Content
- Database content
- User submitted content
- Resources (images, videos, etc)
- Other types of content
He wraps it up with a few recommendations including making a checklist of the things you want to translate to figure out what tools you need to use.

As a teen I knew Loretta Howard quite well. Oh how I wish she were still here so I could ask her one question; "Why didn't John W. Cannon have Howard's build the RO
BT. E. LEE? Why was it built in New Albany? Cannon had Howards build him boats before the Civil War and they built him more boats after the LEE was built. When James Howard tragically drowned on that cold, drizzly October afternoon in 1876 the ROBT. E. LEE ll was on the blocks in the shipyard. Cannon was one of James Howard's pall barrers. There must have been some compelling reason that sent Cannon to New Albany. Was it too soon after the war? Was Howard too busy to complete the boat when Cannon neede it?
Any ideas?

ATLANTA | A little more than a week after snow trapped commuters in cars and children on school buses in metro Atlanta, state officials say they overreacted to information from federal forecasters and posted incorrect information on giant message boards over freeways, warning drivers of a new storm watch.
The signs flashed late Wednesday and into early Thursday, but the National Weather Service had issued no such watch.
"In our desire to proactively inform the traveling public of potential hazardous road conditions, we overreacted to a weather statement from the National Weather Service and incorrectly posted watch and warning messages on our overhead message signs," the Georgia Department of Transportation said in a statement. "We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."
National Weather Service forecasters had called state officials early Thursday to alert them to the error.
"We don't know why that happened," said Brian Lynn, a meteorologist at the weather service's metro Atlanta office in Peachtree City, Ga.
The large overhead message boards, seen by the millions of motorists who commute into and out of Atlanta, alert drivers to delays, wrecks and potential hazards such as bad weather.
A spokeswoman with the state transportation agency, Natalie Dale, said the boards typically display the words "watch" or "warning" only after the weather service has issued such an alert for an area. The department gets the information from the weather service through public sources, she said.
The Department of Transportation is developing additional guidelines for posting weather information on the message boards and other communication tools, including social media, Dale said.
Gov. Nathan Deal was among state and local leaders heavily criticized for the government's response to two inches of snow last week that led to gridlocked roads in metro Atlanta. Some people were stuck in their cars overnight along highways or abandoned them.
On Monday, the governor vowed to improve storm response and announced several changes in how the state communicates with Georgians before storms strike. Those reforms did not specifically address how weather information is conveyed on the freeway signs.

The Middlebury College Intramural Program is organized as an integral part of the total sports program under the direction of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics. Intramurals provide a varied program of activities to meet the competitive and recreational needs of all students. Faculty and staff members are also encouraged to participate in intramurals.
The overall objective of the program is to provide participation opportunities in a wide variety of activities for those who choose intramurals over, or in addition to, other types of competition available at Middlebury. An individual's skill level is not as important as the player's desire to participate and to enjoy the intramural experiences of good fun, sportsmanship and competition.
Intramurals offer activities for both men and women. Depending upon the nature of the activity, the amount of interest and the space available, the intramural competitions are organized into leagues followed by playoffs.
Intramural rules set forth participation regulations so that all may enter these activities under uniform eligibility and competitive rules. Your participation as both a participant and/or employee is vital to the success of the intramural program at Middlebury.
If you have any questions, please contact Director of Intramurals Mark Lewis at email@example.com.

Hundreds rally at Capitol for stricter gun control
Hundreds rally at Capitol for stricter gun control
HARTFORD -- A crowd of than 5,500 came by bus and cars to converge at the Capitol Thursday in the March for Change -- a rally for stricter gun laws, including a ban on assault weapons, organized in response to the Sandy Hook massacre that killed 20 first graders and six educators.
Lasting more than an hour and spreading out on the grounds of the Capitol, the rally was timed for two months to the day since the Dec. 14 shootings.
Many of those attending said it was time in the face of such horror for the silent majority to be heard.
"I hope we can make a change," said Shelley Northrop, a Sandy Hook resident who took one of seven buses that left Newtown in the snow and cold for the Capitol. "The NRA has such a strong voice. There are people who feel like I do, whose voices are not being heard because we're not organized, but that's changing."
During the bus trip, Northrop spoke about the pain felt by the community. Many people in town are connected to the massacre in some way, she said, either through a friend, a relative, a teacher or a neighbor.
"I used to say that if you don't vote, you can't complain," she said. "Now I feel that if I don't do something, I can't complain."
After stepping off the bus and onto the Capitol steps, Northrop and others unrolled a banner signed by the students from Columbine High School that had been sent to Newtown in the days following the shooting.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman attended the rally, as did several legislative leaders from both parties.
"If you can't get on a plane without a background check, you shouldn't be buying a gun without a background check," Malloy said.
Residents from every corner of the state came to have their voices heard, and to listen to speakers who told their own tales of personal tragedy in the face of gun violence.
Sally Cox, the nurse at Sandy Hook Elementary School, came Thursday to listen, and to lend her support. When the shooting started at the school on Dec. 14, Cox said privately that she could hear the gun fire, and the screams, from down the hall.
"That sound, the sound of that gun and the speed, that's something you never forget. There are too many young people dying. Something has to be done," Cox said. "I believe if the assault weapon ban was still in place, this may have never happened. These guns were purchased legally."
Among the speakers was Jillian Soto, whose sister, Victoria Soto, has been hailed as a hero for trying to save the first-grade students in her care.
"For me Vicki was a hero long before Sandy Hook," Soto said, "she didn't have to die to prove that to me."
Soto said she wanted her sister to be remembered for the wonderful teacher she was, and the great sense of humor she had, such as the time she wore flamingo pajamas to school for pj day.
"That's how I want her to be remembered," Soto said. "Not as a hero staring down the barrel of an assault rifle held by an extremely sick man."
Veronique Pozner, whose 6-year-old son Noah was the youngest victim of the massacre, said citizens may have the right to bear arms, but not "weapons of mass destruction."
Pozner held up and showed the crowd a picture of a turkey Noah had colored at school for Thanksgiving. On each of the feathers, she said, he wrote what he was thankful for, "electricity, books, family and friends."
On the center feather, Pozner said Noah wrote, "the life I live."
"That's the life that was taken," she said.
Bridgeport resident Robert Thompson reminded the crowd that young children are killed from gun violence every day in America's cities. Thompson's 14-year-old son, Justin, was killed last year when walking home with his friends from a birthday party after three masked men opened fire into the crowd.
"He was just starting to come into his own, just starting to realize that he had his whole life ahead of him," Thompson said, adding that a friend of Justin's was also "gunned down in the streets."
"I'd like to say that what happened in Newtown was an anomaly, but in urban areas this happens on a daily basis. In cities like Bridgeport children are killed every day. We have to do something."
Colin Goddard, a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, said during Thursday's rally that the three bullets still lodged in his body are a constant reminder of that day.
"I'm here today not because of what happened to me, but because it keeps happening to other people, and nothing is being done about it," he said. "Hopefully, this time it's different."

There are four parts to an effective marketing strategy, Tim Welsh, president and founder of Nexus Strategy, said during a marketing panel at the 2013 National Association of Active Investment Managers Annual Conference.
First, advisors have to define their target client. Welsh suggested the simplest way to do that was to study the demographics of their most valuable clients.
Then advisors need to outline their messaging platform. To do so, they should define the services they are providing their clients and the benefits, how they will deliver those services, and what gives them credibility among clients and prospects.
With that information, advisors can begin building a campaign strategy, Welsh said, that shares that information with their target clients across all communication platforms.
The last step, of course, is to execute the plan.
Jason Wenk, founder and president of Retirement Wealth Advisors, then stepped up to describe how he used blogging to generate business for his firm.
Much of the traffic to his site comes from four blog posts he wrote over a year ago, he said. The key is writing targeted headlines to match what users are searching for.
Blogging fails when it is inconsistent, irrelevant, unengaging and doesn't include a call to action for readers to follow up on, he said. Relevant content is the "missing link" to free traffic to advisors' websites, he said.
Wenk posed four questions for advisors to answer to optimize their websites for the most traffic.
- What do ideal clients want?
- What are they searching for online to find your site?
- What are your competitors doing that you can do better?
- Are you an expert clients and prospects can trust?
To answer those questions, advisors can use Web analysis tools like Google Analytics. However, Mark Piquette, chief marketing officer for Trust Co. of America, said many advisors don't use analytics tools because they don't have the help or the resources they need.
"Why does your site exist?" he asked. "What do you want people to do?"
He described two types of outcomes advisors can generate with their websites: a macro conversion, where a prospect actually contacts the advisor through phone, email or a contact form; and a micro conversion, where a prospect may connect with the advisor through LinkedIn, download a white paper or comment on a blog post.
Piquette broke down website optimization into ABCs: acquisition (where are visitors coming from?), behavior (what are they doing while they're there?) and conversion (what are the payoffs for you and for them?)
To increase acquisition, advisors need to optimize their website around search terms prospects are using to find their site. They must also find a balance between the different ways people arrive at the site: direct traffic, where they enter the name of the firm directly into the address bar, or search and referral traffic, where they are directed to the website through a search or a link on another website.
To optimize website visitors' behavior once they're on the site, advisors need to look at the top entry and exit pages on their website. The most popular page where visitors enter the site is "probably not the homepage," Piquette said. "Google is your homepage."
Advisors need to improve pages that are less engaging to prospects and make it easy to find their best content, Piquette said. They can determine that by looking at the bounce rate, or the number of people who opened a webpage and left immediately, for each page.
One way to increase conversions, Piquette said, is to create topic landing pages with ways to capture information from visitors.
A website's design doesn't matter as much as meeting the ABCs, he added.
He urged advisors to make sure they were allocating their marketing budget to people rather than tools. "Spend $90 on people and $10 on tools," he said. "These tools are cheap; most of them are free. Spend money on people who can help you use them."

Shiny Pokémon (ポケモンの光る Pokemon no Hikaru) are Pokémon with different coloration than the normal versions of the Pokémon although they have no stat differences at all. Shiny Pokémon have been included since Generation II in Gold and Silver in which the first shiny Pokémon that was introduced was a Red Gyarados. Shiny Pokémon are considered very rare. The term "shiny" is a reference to their difference in color and their sparkling animation and sound effect when they enter into battle. The term was unofficial prior to Generation V, when the Pokédex began cataloging shiny Pokémon and using the term itself.
The color change can be anywhere from very noticeable, e.g. Charizard:
Other shiny Pokémon are very similar to their normal versions, such as Clefable.
In Generation II, a Pokémon randomly assigned 5 integers between 0 and 15 to determine their base stats. (HP, Attack, Defense, Special, and Speed). If all 5 numbers are equal to 10, the Pokémon's color scheme will be set to 0. The chance of seeing a shiny Pokémon is 1 in every 8192, or a probability of 0.01220703% during each encounter. From Generation III onwards, shiny Pokémon are determined by other factors such as the Trainer ID number and the personality value of the Pokémon. Despite this change, the odds of randomly encountering a shiny Pokémon is still 1 in 8192. As of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the Shiny Charm can be obtained to significantly increase chances of encountering a shiny Pokémon. This stacks with most methods listed below.
There are a few different methods to increase your chances of obtaining a shiny Pokémon.
Chaining (Gen IV)
This method uses the Pokéradar in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, X and Y to encounter chains of the same Pokémon. Here's a few tips (Non-Gen VI):
- If the bush just shakes, it is a Sinnoh Pokémon.
- If the bush has a whitish shake, it might be a non-native Pokémon.
- Never use it in water, caves, or tall grass.
- The bush with the same type of shake as the first Pokémon you battled that is the farthest away within a four by four grid is most likely the same Pokémon.
- The likelihood of finding a shiny Pokémon increases as your chain increases, maxing out at 40. Pulsing, sparkling grass indicates a Shiny Pokémon is in that bush.
For the Gen VI games, specifically ORAS, chaining has been made much easier thanks to the DexNav application on the PokéNav+. Using the DexNav function, players can see which Pokémon is in a patch of grass without having to risk encountering it. Likewise, scaring off a Pokémon using the DexNav (i.e. failing to sneak up on it) does not break the chain.
Masuda Method (Gen IV)
To use this method you must breed two Pokémon from games in different languages. Using this method improves your odds of hatching a shiny Pokémon from 1/8192 to 1/2048 or 1/1365.3, in Generation IV or Generation V, respectively. This method was the brainchild of Junichi Masuda, director of GameFreak.
Soft Reset (Useful for Legendaries and Shiny Starters (Gen. II to Gen. VII))
One method which is easy enough (but often very time consuming) works for starters and most Legendary Pokémon. Basically, the method is to stand in front of the legendary Pokémon you will catch/starter you will take and save. If you don't get a shiny when you get your starter/battle the legendary, soft reset the game by pressing A+B+Start+Select on the GBA, L+R+Start+Select on the DS and L+R+Start on the 3DS. This method can often require over 1000 resets before you get a shiny, however with enough dedication and patience your efforts will pay off.
In-Game Shiny Pokémon
In-game shiny Pokémon are met as part of the main story in some Pokémon games. For example, the Red Gyarados appears in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, as part of a story arc, and can be caught in a way similar to most legendary Pokémon.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, a Trainer with a Shiny Espeon can be battled inside the Trainer Tower on one of the Sevii Islands. There is also another trainer with a shiny Meowth.
In Black and White 2, the player can catch a Shiny Haxorus in the post-story. The player can also receive a Shiny Gible in Black 2 and a Shiny Dratini in White 2.
In Sun and Moon, after becoming the Champion, a man in the Seafolk Village Pokémon Center will battle you with his shiny Exeggcute.
- Jigglypuff: It was in fact a shiny version of a Jigglypuff in reference to the colors of the shiny version of this Pokémon.
- Noctowl: Ash Ketchum caught one while on his travels through Johto. It also seems to be about half the size of other Noctowls.
- Shuckle: While in Johto, Ash and co. discovered a Shiny Shuckle.
- Gyarados: First seen in the Lake of Rage and was caught by Lance. It was also seen again during the battle between Kyogre and Groudon. Lysandre also owns one but it died with him when he was killed by Zygarde's Core Enforcer.
- Magneton: Owned by Pokémon Trainer Jackson when he battles Ash in the Silver Conference.
- Swellow: Winona, the Fortree City Gym Leader has a Shiny Swellow.
- Donphan: A Shiny Donphan has been shown in the Hoenn Region on Dontoe Island.
- Magikarp: Was seen briefly in the episode "Judgement Day" and "Going for the Gold!".
- Dustox: Jessie's Dustox fell in love with a male Shiny Dustox and then was released similar to how Ash released his Butterfree. (Except Jessie smashed Dustox's Poké Ball so it could go with its true love)
- Shiny Metagross: In the episode "Noodles! Roamin' Off", James in Team Rocket went out to see this strangely colored Metagross that people had been talking about, and was promptly attacked by the shiny Metagross. Another Shiny Metagross is owned by the Hoenn Elite Champion, Steven.
- Pichu: A Shiny Pichu appeared in the fourth ending of the Diamond and Pearl series: Get Fired Up, Spiky-eared Pichu!.
- Ditto: A shiny Ditto appeared in "Dealing With Fierce Double Ditto Drama" under Narissa 's ownership.
- Ariados: In the Special Episode "Dawn's New Journey", Dawn and Cinco encountered a swarm of Ariados as well as a shiny one using Psychic so the others could wrap Dawn and the others with String Shot.
- Entei, Raikou, and Suicune: the three legendary beasts were shiny guardians of the city in the Pokémon Movie: Zoroark: Master of Illusions
- Hydreigon: Owned by Carlita in White, Victini, and Reshiram. It is used in the tournament In that movie.
- Golurk: Owned by Carlita in White: Victini and Zekrom. It was used to guard Juanita's trailer that contained Victini dolls and candy.
- Onix: The Pokémon was seen near the end in, "Expedition to Onix Island" after Meloetta uses her song to calm down the other attacking Onix. It seemed to have been the leader of the Onix.
- Red Genesect: This Shiny Legendary Pokémon is the leader of the Genesect Army in, MS016: Pokémon The Movie - Genesect and the Legend Awakened.
- Hawlucha: Owned by Carl in "When Light and Dark Collide!"
- Rayquaza: A Shiny Legendary Pokémon that can Mega Evolve in MS018: Pokémon The Movie - Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.
- Dragonair: Owned by Amelia.
- Phantump: Leader of a group of wild Phantump in XY117.
- Pikachu: This Shiny Pikachu appeared at the end of XY117 during the Poké TV segment that focused on Shiny Pokémon.
- Gengar: Owned by Jarvis in MS019.
- Gardevoir: Owned by Chymia in MS019.
- In Generation II games shiny Pokémon can be slightly stronger than their normal colored counterparts. However, this is not true for later generations.
- There are examples of Pokémon which, although colored differently, are not officially shiny, such as gender or form differences in regular coloring such as in Hippowdon, Jellicent, and Gastrodon. However, these are not shiny variants, but each gender or form will have its own shiny color that differs from the usual color for their gender or form.
- The first alternately colored Pokémon to appear in the anime series was seen by Ash in the first season when he released his Butterfree so it could find a mate.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, two Kecleon own a shop in the town square. One is a dark purple color.
- The Pokémon which reside in parts of the Orange Islands are colored differently to other Pokémon. The color changes are due to climate and natural adaption according to Professor Ivy.
- In the Anime, "In the Pink" was just that apparently, eating the berries there turned Pokémon pink. However, if the Pokémon stopped eating the berries, they would discontinue being pink. Ash's Pikachu was temporarily pink due to this.
- The term "Shiny Pokémon" was originally a fan name, however, it became so popular that it became the official name for differently colored Pokémon.

Can't File By April 15?
There are three ways you can request an automatic extension of time to file a U.S. individual income tax return: (1) you can electronically file Form 4868 (PDF), Application For Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Tax Return; (2) you can pay all or part of your estimate of income tax due using a credit or debit card or by using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS); or (3) you can file a paper Form 4868 by mail.
If you file your Form 4868 electronically you will receive an acknowledgement or confirmation number for your records and you do not need to mail in Form 4868. If you need to pay additional taxes when filing Form 4868 electronically, you may do so through the outside service provider or through e-file. You can refer to your tax software or tax professional for ways to file electronically using e-file services. Several companies offer free filing of Form 4868 through the Free File program that you can access on the IRS.gov website. If you wish to file electronically, be sure to have a copy of last year's tax return. You will be asked to provide the adjusted gross income (AGI) from the return for taxpayer verification.
A second way of requesting an automatic extension of time to file your individual income tax return is to pay part or your entire estimate of income tax due by credit card or debit card or by using EFTPS. You may pay by phone or Internet through one of the service providers listed on Form 4868. Each service provider will charge a convenience fee based on the amount of the tax payment. At the completion of the transaction, you will receive a confirmation number for your records.
Finally, you can request an automatic extension of time to file your individual income tax return by completing paper Form 4868 and mailing it to the appropriate address provided on the form.
Please be aware that an extension of time to file is NOT an extension of time to pay.

Facebook Timeline is already cinematic—a whooshing biographical column of your entire life, writ enormous. So turning it into a movie is the next natural step. Too bad Facebook's directing debut makes you look so dull.
The process is simple: hand over your privacy rights to TimelineMovieMaker.com and then let it scrape your profile for photos, movies, check-ins, and other Facebook errata. These chunks and sewn wonderfully into a moving fabric of your life—the production values are really pretty terrific.
But what are you actually seeing? If you use custom privacy settings on any of your uploads, not very much. In my case, I've restricted all of my old college albums to people I went to college with—a pretty reasonable privacy move, I think, and a fairly common one. This prevented the movie from incorporating all of my photo albums except one. It also managed to use only one photo I was tagged in by someone else. The resulting film, "A Glimpse of Sam Biddle," is a compilation of my stupid, grainy iPhone uploads and one album of crappy BBQ pics I took several summers ago. What a live I've had!
If the app can get beyond the simplest privacy settings—I'll give you permission!—it'll be incredible. Self indulgent and incredibly vain, yes, but incredibly fun. And it'll make you feel great about yourself! What else is Facebook for? [Timeline Movie Maker]

Ken Cuccinelli, the extremely far right attorney general of Virginia, went on a wingnut radio show that has been making outrageous allegations that Obama stole the election and completely agreed with the hosts that what they're saying is correct and that they were "preaching to the choir."
JACOBUS: There needs to be a way for people to be able to report this stuff and have it looked into. I mean, just across the country, we're hearing so many stories. And people can talk about it, but nothing seems to be done. And, in fact in these states where voter ID is required to vote…
WILSON: Photo ID.
JACOBUS: Photo ID. Voter photo ID. Obama lost every one of those states. He can't win a state where photo ID is required. So clearly there's something going on out there and until there's a way to have something done about it where when you report it, you know it's going to be looked into, the other side just says "Oh, well, you're just poor losers," and that sort of thing.CUCCINELLI: Your tone suggests you're a little upset with me. You're preaching to the choir. I'm with you completely.
Let me suggest another explanation for why Obama lost all the states with photo ID laws. In the absence of any evidence at all of actual voter impersonation — and there is none — maybe, just maybe, it's because photo ID laws were passed in states with total Republican control of the government. It's hardly a surprise that a state whose voters support the voter suppression agenda of the Republican party would also be likely to vote for Romney instead of Obama. But that's logic, which the wingnuts think is a satanic plot or something.

Forebear Friday - Marrying the Enemy? Thomas Nickerson & Mary Bangs
Perhaps it was a bit of a Romeo and Juliet story. But at the least it might have made for some interesting family reunions. The union of Thomas Nickerson and Mary Bangs (my 8th great-grandparents) in 1696 had the potential to cause quite a stir among their families. Thomas was the grandson of immigrant William Nickerson, and Mary was the granddaughter of Plymouth colonist Edward Bangs.
The problem goes back to land, and their grandfathers. As a member of Plymouth colony, Edward Bangs was among those who had the first rights, given by the Court, for purchasing reserved land from the Indians. William Nickerson, who sought to acquire land and create a settlement, purchased a great deal of this reserved land himself, illegally, a move said to have greatly angered the colonists. Nickerson claimed ignorance of the law, and the matter was in court for many years. While the land was granted to others, Nickerson eventually re-purchased much of it from the grantees, and so started the settlement of Monomoit (Chatham, Massachusetts) as he wished.
I wonder what the reaction of Edward Bangs and William Nickerson might have been to their grandchildren marrying, had they lived to see it...

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 secondsSo my symptoms essentially are, I've always had very tight skin from birth. I've always had very poor flexibility in all my joints from birth. I've always been quite slight and quite slim for my age, and also quite tall. Around 12 or 13, type 2 diabetes kicked in, which obviously means I have to be slightly careful with what I eat. And I'm not great with high GI, sugary foods. At about the same time as the diabetes kicked in, I also lost a lot of my subcutaneous fat, whilst I also never had a huge amount. What I did have, essentially disappeared. And that's when I started to look a bit more gaunt and more skeletal in appearance, if you like.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 secondsHearing loss also kicked in around the onset of puberty - 12, 13 years old. My flexibility continued to deteriorate through my teenage years and what remained of the fat on the soles of my feet also disappeared. When I was younger, I used to do things like karate, which was obviously sort of barefoot in a school hall. I can't do that now. I can't walk barefoot anywhere, just because it's simply too painful. Even standing on a bare surface hurts too much. But since really sort of 18 or 19, things have remained fairly stable. My diabetes is very well managed. My lack of fat is basically managed with wearing appropriate clothing and having custom insoles to obviously help with the foot pain.
Skip to 1 minute and 57 secondsHearing loss is not deteriorating any further and the hearing aids I have now are very good, so it doesn't limit me in any way with sort of interaction and communication.
Skip to 2 minutes and 10 secondsAnd essentially - so everything's pretty much stable, really. Yeah, as far as I know MDP is caused by a spontaneous mutation on one very specific aspect of the genome. And I think - I want to say, POLD1, but I might be wrong, on chromosome 23. Something like that. And basically it, as far as I know, seems to affect the way that we utilise or metabolise fat when rewriting DNA. I may be completely wrong there. But basically, it's an abnormal distribution of fat, and with fat being such an essential component in the body, it has a knock on effect on lots and lots of different things.
Skip to 3 minutes and 5 secondsThe unifying characteristics, if you like, of MDP - as far as I know - are a small jaw, which is where the name MDP - mandibular dysplasia with deafness and progeroid features. Which obviously, often necessitates teeth overcrowding - small jaw, teeth, not enough space to fit them. I actually solved that - I wouldn't recommend solving it in this way - but I solved that by going through the windscreen of a car while cycling, and then they just removed my front teeth. And obviously the abnormal metabolism of fat means no subcutaneous fat under the skin.
Skip to 3 minutes and 49 secondsThe fact that you don't store fat under the skin, naturally predisposes you to store your fat in other places, including in the blood, which raises the triglyceride levels in the blood, which tricks your pancreas into thinking actually you're morbidly obese, and you should probably have type 2 diabetes, which is often the case. We don't know enough about it yet, but we feel that fat may be actually more necessary than we considered in the neurological connections between the ear and the brain. So that the abnormal fat metabolism has essentially given you a slightly faulty connection, which obviously results in hearing loss.
Skip to 4 minutes and 36 secondsThe lack of subcutaneous fat obviously means that-- as a defence mechanism the body starts to tighten the skin, particularly around the joints in order to essentially provide the protection that natural fat would have done in the first place, which is why flexibility is generally quite poor amongst people with MDP syndrome. Cell division is very slow. So rebuilding new tissue in things like wound healing - for example - are slightly slower with people with MDP syndrome then people without. Of course, the diabetes doesn't help either, because quite often diabetics will have reduced wound healing capability.
Skip to 5 minutes and 25 secondsAnd particularly for - depending on where you actually have the wound - obviously, the lack of subcutaneous fat may also be an issue, because if you have very, very tight skin that's stretching - obviously, if you're trying to close a wound and it's constantly being stretched outwards, then you're just basically two warring fronts trying to decide whether it needs to be closing up or stretching.
Tom's story
We'd like to introduce you to Tom.
Tom is 26 years of age, he has two law degrees: an LLB Euro from the University of Exeter and a Master 1 (EU Law) from the L'Université de Rennes 11. He now lives in the South West of England and works in digital marketing. He is a paracyclist and is married.
Tom has always had tight skin and poor joint flexibility. He was diagnosed with diabetes and hearing loss at the age of 13 years. He has a small jaw (mandibular hypoplasia) and very little subcutaneous fat. In this first video Tom describes the symptoms of his syndrome (known as MDP syndrome) and how he manages these.

Black Swans vs. Financial Engineering
As a boy growing up in Damascus, Syria, Khaldoun Khashanah found mathematics compelling. "What I liked best were the abstract patterns, and math's ability to reveal the interrelations between the real and the abstract in unique ways. Math lets us look through that window," Khashanah explained.
Maybe that is why Khashanah, the director of Stevens Institute of Technology's Financial Engineering program, has a problem with Black Swans.
Black Swans are those seemingly impossible, game-changing events popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his 2007 book, The Black Swan. Taleb picked the name because Europeans thought all swans must be white, until they discovered black swans in Australia during the Eighteenth Century.
According to Taleb, a Black Swan has three characteristics: First, it is so rare, "nothing in the past can point convincingly to its possibility." Second, it has very high impact. Third, people "concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable."
To Khashanah, Taleb's focus on the unpredictable nature of Black Swans seems to fly in the face of everything he knows about the ability of mathematics to find patterns in the world around him.
"Taleb does not identify the current financial meltdown as a Black Swan, even though it appears to meet his own definition of a Black Swan," Khashanah said. Banks were shocked by how badly risk models underestimated their vulnerability. The result upended the global economy. In retrospect, everyone says we should have seen the signs.
"Still, you cannot tell me that whole financial system had no information that could have warned us about subprime mortgages and derivatives, that the crisis was just random. I don't buy that," said Khashanah, who is also a Distinguished Service Professor at Stevens.
"As a field, Financial Engineering is presented with two choices. We can either stop producing risk models because the phenomenon is too complex, or face up to that complexity and try to incorporate it within a new modeling paradigm. I choose the latter."
For Khashanah, facing up to uncertainty involves financial engineering, building models that help investors minimize the risk on their investments.
Like many people drawn to the field, Khashanah's passion for mathematics led to engineering and more mathematics. He eventually earned a Ph.D. in applied mathematics at University of Delaware. In 1994, he joined Stevens as a visiting researcher, developing formulas to help sonar tell the difference between echoes and mines in shallow water.
At the time, many physicists and mathematicians had begun to gravitate towards financial modeling. Khashanah followed. "Financial modeling poses many deep mathematical problems, and the remuneration was also very good," he said.
At the time, financial modeling was coming into its own, especially in the field of derivatives. Derivatives are securities based on the price of an underlying asset. An example is an option, which is the right (but not the obligation) to sell a stock at a specific price, either higher or lower, at a specific time in the future. The price of the option is derived from the price of the stock, and the two rise and fall in harmony.
Wall Street frequently uses derivatives to reduce risk. Suppose a trader buys a stock because he or she expects the price to rise. The trader can offset, or hedge, the risk of the stock going down by buying an option to sell at a specific price (called the strike price).
If the stock drops below the strike price, the trader buys the now- cheap stock on the market and sells it for the higher strike price at a profit. If the stock goes up, the trader takes the profit and lets the option expire.
Because derivatives cost much less than the underlying asset, they are highly leveraged. A small move in the price of the underlying asset can yield a large profit – or loss.
Simple derivatives, like stock options and commodity futures for crops, metals, and currencies, have existed for more than 100 years. High-speed computerized modeling broadened their use.
Starting in the 1980s, traders created mathematical programs to analyzed trends and bought and sold stocks (and options) within seconds. In the 1990s, financial firms broadened their use of derivatives to cover everything from credit card debt to home mortgages.
"Starting around 2000, those derivatives began growing more complicated," Khashanah said. On Wall Street, firms began to slice up mortgages and reassemble the pieces into tradable securities called collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs. The goal was to combine conventional, subprime and other low-risk mortgages to minimize risk.
Although it was very difficult to assess the amount of risk in those CDOs, financial firms like AIG continued to write derivatives on them. This created what Khashanah calls a "super-portfolio" of mortgage-backed securities and derivatives used to hedge them.
"The subprime mortgages were worth several hundred billion dollars, but the CDOs and derivatives were worth trillions of dollars," he noted.
When super-portfolio bubble burst, the size of the liabilities was large enough to shake the entire financial system. The impact was certainly a Black Swan-level impact.
Where did risk models go wrong? According to Khashanah, models fail for three reasons: wrong hypotheses; poor models of the phenomenon they try to explain; and inaccurate data, which can sink even the most accurate model. While all models suffer some deficiencies in all three areas, Khashanah points to inaccurate data as a key culprit in the financial crisis.
"Data inaccuracies were due to a total lack of transparency in the derivative space over a long period of time. This misinformation was passed on as credible input to models to analyze," Khashanah said.
"Granted, the models were simplistic when compared to the complexity of the instruments, and they barely satisfied their own hypotheses. But even if we had perfect models, misinformation results in mischaracterization.
"As a result, no one knew the actual size of these super-portfolios or the true liabilities of the big banks. They were enormous, and there was no way to pay all these liabilities when they came due. That is why the government had to bail them out," Khashanah concluded.
In many ways, this sounds like a Black Swan. The collapse of the market was a tsunami that came out of nowhere and had devastating results. Although few saw the signals early, everyone can now look back and see why it happened.
"Yes, the models did not capture enough of the system's complexity," Khashanah said. "But the Black Swan goes to the other extreme. It says that since the models were wrong, you cannot believe in any models."
"I cannot accept that," he continued. "If you accept that only random events count, you cannot build a science. That is what we are trying to do, build a science of financial risk management.
"It's not easy. It's like when we test a new drug to determine if it is safe and effective. Sometimes the testing methodology fails, but no one would reject that methodology unless we had something better."
The key, Khashanah continues, is to look at the problem as a systemic problem and then assess how models have to change to capture the right type of information.
At the system level, that starts with greater regulation and more transparency. "The systemic risk was unregulated activities coupled with lack of transparency. This made all calculations of risk misleading," Khashanah said. "If we had data about the size of the banks' super-portfolios, we would have understood the risk much better."
Financial modelers also have to do a better job of identifying risks they have never encountered before. This is especially true during periods of innovation.
"Black Swans are often associated with market innovations, such as collateralized debt obligations and complicated derivatives or, to go back a little further, dot.com businesses and automated trading," Khashanah said.
"The market packages and sells those innovations very quickly, and regulations don't have a chance to catch up. If the regulators are only looking for problems they expect to see, they miss the issues with those innovations. They continue to accumulate within the system, and when the system bursts, those problems seem to come out of nowhere," Khashanah explained.
Finally, modelers need to find a way to balance quantitative models with qualitative information. "Our models of the financial system are not like our models of nature. In nature, there is no escaping the laws of physics, and so our physical models are very accurate," Khashanah explained.
"But you can't expect people to follow your equations. People may feel optimistic, or they may react to a sudden drop in prices with panic selling. They are impacted by politics, economics, social theories, rumors, and regulations.
"The reason the derivatives bubble went on for so many years was that people thought they were managing risk. They were confident. When they discovered that they were vulnerable, they panicked and the financial system went into freefall.
"As modelers, we need to find a better way to reflect those qualitative components in our models. Instead of taking a narrow, reductionist approach, we have to consider the larger system – from innovation, regulation, and information flow to technology and new financial products – and continuously monitor systemic risk."
Khashanah paused, then continued: "Some people think it is better to live without models than to have lousy models. They believe those rare game-changers – Black Swans – matter and discard ordinary events. To make a fortune, you should invest only after a Black Swan.
"That's not what the financial system should do. It is about making everyday investments that give companies and the economy the liquidity they need to innovate and grow. If we want progress, that is the only way to invest. Ultimately, models can help us do that by reducing the risk of our investments."

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU)—UW –Eau Claire hosted a rededication ceremony at the priory in Eau Claire Thursday afternoon.
During the ceremony, the former monastery chapel was named Benedictine Hall in honor of the sisters of the order of Saint Benedict.
The UW-Eau Claire foundation purchased the priory to build their new children's center, the Children's Nature Academy.
The associate dean of students for UW-Eau Claire says it was a day to celebrate the history of the building, while letting people see what it now offers for kids.
UW-Eau Claire and the foundation are exploring a range of options for the university's use of the rest of the priory facilities.

We play a lot of games, especially lately, with spring upon us, melting snow, and MUD season. Kind of hard to do a lot outside when you live where we do- the water table is very high and the ground is just sopping wet. Its kind of like stepping onto a sponge.
Fundex Games offers a big variety of good, quality, fun family activities. From the Snoopy Sno Cone Machine to puzzles with moveable parts, you are likely to find something to make just about anyone in your house happy!
Pinkalicious Cupcake Party Game: The Pinkalicious series has hit America by storm and having games to build on the pink-apalooza only makes it more fun.
Players work together to collect cupcakes and fill the tray by performing activities from 4 different categories; charades, dancing, drawing, and rhyming. Players roll the die and draw a card from the corresponding category pile, then perform the challenge shown on their card. When the cupcake tray is full, it's time for a party! Includescupcake tray game board, 8 cupcake game pieces, 1 drawing pad, 1 die, and 100 challenge cards.
We liked this game. Definitely helpful if you have a child who can read a bit- otherwise you need a lot of adult involvement. We're big Pinkalicious fans so we were really excited to check this out. Lots of drama, art and movement in this game, plus the pinkness is oh so very cute!!
John Deere Dominoes: Any little John Deere lover will think this version of dominoes is tons of fun!
Kids can play along with the bright, colorful images of Johnny Tractor and his friends to help develop their matching, recognition and organizational skills.
My three year old is rockin' the dominoes since we got this game. Super sturdy cardboard, familiar Johnny Tractor, Eddie Excavator, and other John Deere friends help the littlest tractor lovers to learn a classic game. Nice big pieces that are very durable and easy to hold. One thing I LOVE about this game is the directions are on the same sturdy cardboard!! Nice attention to detail.
Snoopy Sno Cone Machine: This is such a simple machine and offers so much fun when you have a hot day, or even a cold day with a sore throat! I wanted one of these so badly as a kid and at 36 years of age, I finally have one. You know, for the kids!)
For nearly 30 years, the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine has symbolized summer fun. First introduced in 1979, this nostalgic toy lets children create treats to help them beat the heat. Just place an ice cube in the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine, and watch it transform into a delicious dessert with a few turns of the handle. Kids can even flavor their creations with the included Flavor-Aid or with their favorite juice or soda.
We have used the Sno Cone machine a few times already- when the kiddos were sick it was a huge help- something new and fun to do, plus a soothing treat on very sore throats. So simple, so cute, and SO much delicious fun! I can't wait to use it more as the weather gets warmer. Easy to clean, not a ton of pieces to keep track of or assemble after you clean, and you can buy flavored packets if you want or just use juice you have at home. We have 2 very large blueberry bushes in our yard and always end up with too many blueberries that we don't have room to freeze so I think we'll be making some simple syrup with pureed blueberries for sno cones this summer!!
Great American Puzzle Factory is a sister company to Fundex and offer a big variety of puzzles for all ages and skill levels. They sent us the Make 'Em Move Assortment-Boy set, each of which comes in its own storage box and has moving parts to play with once the puzzle is put together. Each of the puzzles has 24 pieces, are made of a really thick, sturdy cardboard and the moveable parts are fastened atop the puzzle with grommets. Perfectly sized and constructed for little hands to manipulate!

OAKLAND — An Alameda County deputy sheriff who fatally shot an unarmed robbery suspect in East Oakland earlier this month has been identified as Derek Thoms, authorities said Tuesday.
Thoms, a canine officer, shot Jacorey Calhoun, 23, on Aug. 3 in a yard in the 10500 block of Acalanes Drive.
Oakland police, who are investigating the shooting, have said no gun was recovered from Calhoun.
Attorney John Burris, representing Calhoun's family, has said the Oakland man was shot in the head while fleeing police. Oakland detectives would not comment about that or any other details of the case since the investigation is ongoing.
Burris, who plans to file a lawsuit in the case soon, said Tuesday that Calhoun was unarmed and there was "no immediate or imminent danger" to the deputy that would justify the shooting.
"He was a suspect in a case three or four weeks before but that doesn't mean he did it," Burris said. "Just because he was a suspect is not justification for shooting the man the way he did."
Police have said Calhoun was one of several men involved in a home-invasion robbery and pistol-whipping on July 12 in the 4700 block of MacArthur Boulevard. The suspects fled in a Volvo after the robbery.
Oakland police saw the Volvo about 4 a.m. Aug. 3 near 55th and Fairfax avenues. Officers tried to stop the car but lost it after a brief chase. Police later spotted the car at 105th and Edes avenues and saw Calhoun run from the vehicle into nearby yards.
Thoms and his dog responded to help Oakland police in the search, which ended with Calhoun being shot. Thoms, an eight-year veteran of the sheriff's office, was the only one to fire a shot.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. J.D. Nelson said their office would not comment on the case at this time at the request of police.
The case remains under investigation by Oakland police, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office and the sheriff's office.

I put together a fantasy baseball calculator with a lot of customized settings and features. I am not going to list them all here, I have outlined everything that it can do on the website listed.
I do not make any money on this - it has not cost me anything to develop, aside from my time, and it will always be completely free for everyone.
I am a bit of a perfectionist and I am looking for flaws and errors or possible ideas to make this even better. Im sure there are some - I am not a professional programmer and have probably only worked on this for 100 hours (for this time around. I did one several years ago that, while not as good, gave me a good foundation for this one. I spent a lot more time on that one developing the workflow).
Here is direct link to the most recent file (although it updates most days):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6mjj1o44eo3ic ... -2013.xlsx
the only thing i really have left to do unless someone brings something urgent to my attention is adding to the projection lists. I currently have updated CAIRO, ROTOWIRE, AND ROTOCHAMP, with plans for maybe a dozen or so more to add. getting the names consistent is the biggest challenge when combining multiple sources into one coherent list.
2012 games played automatically determines position eligibility.
pick and choose custom user projections are also enabled, allowing you to have everything exactly how you want it.
let me know what you guys think! i know i have posted on this before in reference to the calculator - but felt this request for testers deserved its own post.
thank you

The National Parks
Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales, the film is a story of people from every conceivable background—rich and poor, soldiers and scientists, natives and newcomers—who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

This is a Message to all the DJs who have ever played at one of our events. (including live PAs):
I would seriously want to thank you for being there and making the event amazing regardless of the time slot. You made my dreams come true. The vibe, the way the entire day/night melted together because of the perfect synergy amongst all acts. Thank you for being professionals. Thank you, regardless of whatever situation was at hand, we did it for the people. Thank you for understanding that i had a vision and thank you for making that vision come to life.
It's those people and the people they play for is why i do this. People who truly enjoy the Music. The vibe is all that matters… for that one moment in time we were all one, dancing to the beat of the drum. Thank you all for making it happen over and over for the past 20 years…

Passion for Speed
The best choice is solid rotor technology
It's simple. Eliminate the gearbox and gain adjustable speed for all turbo applications. A solid rotor induction motor is a type of induction machine with a non-laminated rotor construction. The advantage of the stiff construction is unmatched stability and balance, which offers exceptional rotating system reliability for all types of turbo applications
Solid rotor induction motors – up to 15,000 rpm
The Switch turbo induction motors replace a mechanical gearbox by an electrical one to give you full speed control for your system. By integrating an electrical motor with the load machinery, you get unmatched space and weight savings.
The Switch complete turbo drive package
- Available as a rotor or a motor
- Up to 15,000 rpm
- Shaft heights: 315, 355 or 400
- Drives: 400 V and 690 V, liquid- or air-cooled
- Both motor and drive up to 12 MW
Custom-built for the challenge
Every high-speed solid rotor induction motor is engineered or customized for a specific end use. The end results speak for themselves in:
- Fans and turbo blowers
- Vacuum drives in paper machines
- Turbo generators
- Compressors
- Pumps

There are some ways to define equivariant derived categories of all sorts. But all the ways i know of involve giving a concrete construction. Is the other way around possible? Is there some universal property that characterizes them? More explicitly i'm thinking of a bifibration D -> T where T is for example some nice subcategory of Top and D are the derived k-sheaves. For every group object G in T there should be a equivariant bifibration D_G -> T^G and these fibrations should again be bifibered over the category of group objects in T.
So here's the question: What properties do we actually want in such a situation?
For example i have in mind the "induction equivalence" and "quotient equivalence" as described in the book by Bernstein and Lunts.
