and making cupcakes at the same time....
Add to that some scrappy time, and the only thing that could have made the day any better is if my hubby could have been at home too. But alas, he has to work on Sundays, and he had a closing shift. So, I did a bunch of fun girly stuff that he wouldn't have had fun doing anyways. Now I have 24 cupcakes....well, 22 since I ate two of them...that I need to find a home for. The hubby doesn't care for cherry chip cake and frosting- and I will gain about a zillion pounds if I try and eat them all. So, I think I will take them to work tomorrow as a belated Valentine treat for everyone. I had that awful cold/flu thing over Valentine's day...so I wasn't about to get my germs all over some baked goods and get everyone else sick at my work. Come to think of it, I don't think I even went in on V-Day because of it.
I will confess that the cupcakes are from a box, and the frosting is from a tub. I got a Kitchenaid Mixer for my birthday, but have yet to bake a good cake from scratch. I can make a mean homemade bread...and some pretty fabulous cookies, but the cake thing...not working out to well for me.
SO...if you have any tried and true homemade cake recipes...I would LOVE to have them! I WANT to make a good cake from scratch- it just hasn't happened yet. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
I will share my scrappy stuff later this week. I need to get better photographs of it all first....I missed the perfect daylight by just mere minutes!
Hope your Sunday was blessed,

> This year's edition of the Winter Meetings were a disappointment for the Brewers, to say the least. They offered deals to a few of their targets, including Ryan Dempster, Jason Grilli, and Sean Burnett, but all of them were rejected. Burnett ended up signing with the Angels because they offered him much more cash the Brewers. Grilli hasn't signed yet, but the Brewers haven't been in contact with him for over a week for some reason, so he's off the table. Dempster is still out there, but is holding out for a three-year deal. So far, the parties interested in Dempster- the Brewers, Red Sox, and Royals- have offered him two-year deals, but have been hesitant to add on that third year because of his age.
So that's about the gist of what happened- rather, what didn't happen- at the Meetings.
> The Brewers did make a move today, however, signing left-hander Travis Webb to a minor league deal with an invitation to Spring Training.
Webb has spent his entire career with the Reds' minor league affiliates, never making it to the Majors. He has a career ERA of 4.13 in the minors, but went a sub-par 2-6 with a 4.81 ERA in 2012 at Triple-A. Webb was a starter at the beginning of his professional career, but has since converted into a reliever.
> Doug Melvin said that the Brewers aren't in on Brian Wilson. We can all take a sigh of relief now.
> Minor moves:
Rays: Signed Jason Bourgeois to a minor league deal.
Astros: Took Josh Fields from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 Draft; took Nate Freiman from the Padres in the Rule 5 Draft; claimed Mickey Storey off waivers from the Yankees.
Cubs: Took Hector Rondon from the Indians in the Rule 5 Draft; re-signed Ian Stewart to a one-year deal.
Rockies: Took Danny Rosenbaum from the Nationals in the Rule 5 Draft; signed Justin Berg, Hernan Iribarren, Jeff Manship, Gustavo Molina, and Henry Wrigley to minor league deals.
Twins: Took Ryan Pressly from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 Draft; acquired Vance Worley and Trevor May from the Phillies; re-signed Jared Burton to a two-year deal.
Indians: Took Chris McGuiness from the Rangers in the Rule 5 Draft.
Marlins: Took Alfredo Silverio from the Dodgers in the Rule 5 Draft; took Braulio Lara from the Rays in the Rule 5 Draft.
Red Sox: Took Jeff Kobernus from the Nationals in the Rule 5 Draft; acquired Justin Henry from the Tigers; acquired Kyle Kaminska from the Pirates; signed Koji Uehara to a one-year deal; acquired Graham Godfrey from the Athletics.
Mets: Took Kyle Lobstein from the Rays in the Rule 5 Draft.
Diamondbacks: Took Starling Peralta from the Cubs in the Rule 5 Draft; signed Brandon McCarthy to a two-year deal.
Phillies: Took Ender Inciarte from the Diamondbacks in the Rule 5 Draft; acquired Ben Revere from the Twins.
White Sox: Took Angel Sanchez from the Angels in the Rule 5 Draft.
Orioles: Took T.J. McFarland from the Indians in the Rule 5 Draft.

Man accused of rape says he was coerced into making plea
Suspect said language barrier affected plea
A former Miami University student says he was coerced into confessing to a burglary and rape.
Francisco Rivera was in a Butler County courtroom Wednesday and told a judge he wanted to change his guilty plea.
Rivera, speaking through an interpreter, said his former attorney forced him to confessing to the crimes and pleading guilty. He said he was scared and confused when his attorney told him he should plead guilty.
"He told me this county is very racist against Hispanics," Rivera said through his interpreter.
Rivera said his attorney said the judge would be hard on him because the judge's daughter was a student at Miami.
"And he also told me the jurors were going to be 12 white people and look at me as Hispanic and send me to jail," Rivera said.
He also faces deportation back to Peru if he is found guilty.
Wednesday was meant to be Rivera's sentencing.
Rivera was originally arrested for burglarizing several homes and trespassing. A grand jury never indicted him on any sex charges.
Rivera's new attorney, Joni Turner, said her client never fully understood what he was signing.
The judge has not yet ruled if he will allow Rivera to change his plea.
The Butler County prosecutors asked for a continuance and want Rivera's former attorney to testify.
Rivera's alleged victim was also in court Wednesday.
If the judge does not allow Rivera to change his plea, he will be sentenced on what he pleaded to. If that happens, the alleged victim is expected to testify.

1923 Ford T Roadster - Hot Rodding Doesn't Have to Be Complicated
Bill Post's '23 T
You've probably heard about those folks who have been out of hot rodding for a while and then get back into the hobby after decades of inactivity. On the other extreme, you can also find folks who built their hot rod decades ago and still own them. But Bill Post, from West Des Moines, Iowa, takes a little from both columns.
Bill was 16 when he purchased his first car back in 1972, a '55 Chevy two-door hardtop, and he still owns the car. By 1977, he'd attended the NSRA Nationals in St. Paul (in a T-bucket) and got permanently hooked on hot rods. Both of his brothers, Russel and Donald, have acquired many rods over the years, and collectively the trio has owned nearly any type of muscle car or rod you can name, from Mustangs to Corvettes, and from Chryslers to Model As.
In the early '80s, Bill had built his first street rod, a '38 Chevy truck, which he then sold for parts to build a T-bucket. The idea was to build a pair of twins-one 402 big-block T for Russel, and a small-block copy for Bill.
The work started in August of 1984 when Bill took a long weekend and fabricated the chassis for both vehicles, which soon yielded a pair of rollers. The brothers reinforced the 'glass body of Bill's car by hand-laying fiberglass on wood around the interior. The floor, made from 3/4-inch plywood, was also 'glassed in to accomodate a three-inch channel over the frame, and 3/4-inch plywood was 'glassed to the interior firewall, too.
By the spring of '85 Bill had met his future wife, Tammy, and work slowed on the projects. Bill's T was relegated to the corner of Russel's shop, nearly complete with the body mounted, windshield installed, motor and tranny dropped in, and the radiator, headlights, and more already mounted.
This engine was out of a '67 Nova owned by Al Chindlund of rural Alta, Iowa. It had been drag raced in the early '70s at Humboldt County Dragway in Humboldt, Iowa, and Bill purchased the short-block from Al's brother, Norm, in 1985.
By 1985 Russ had finished his car, but Bill's sat while he gathered up what little parts he still needed. This included the pre-'16 Model T steering wheel, which is an original maple wood rim purchased at a swap meet for $15.00 in 1984 and refinished by Bill's neighbor, Ralph Lane.
When Bill and Tammy got married, Russ thoughtfully gave the honeymooners a Stewart Warner speedometer for a wedding present-one of the few things not listed on the couple's registry! But don't let it be said Tammy didn't want her man working on a hot rod. She did, but the priorities in Bill's life were shifting, and the T got lower and lower on the list.
Changing jobs from being a welder/fabricator to a becoming a firefighter was a big change for Bill, but throw in a major house remodel and moving to West Des Moines, and you can see where some of the time must have gone. The T was never far, though, even as it became something of a shelf to stack things on in Bill's garage.
Twenty years later, life was going well for Bill and Tammy, and they decided they'd like to get the car finished, so they hired Russ in September of 2005 to finish the assembly.
Russ worked on dialing in the drivetrain, doing the needed wiring, plus painting the ride in December of the same year. Tammy and Bill had decided on the color by looking at paint chip cards at The Body Parts Store in Des Moines. The color caught Bill's eye and he just knew it was right, and he adds the final choice had nothing to do with it being Tammy's favorite color.
Bill and Tammy got their car back in the spring of '06 and took it to Pro-Stitch Upholstery where the pleated off-white vinyl interior and marine-grade carpet was installed (as Bill's car doesn't have a top, he needed to use weather-resistant material). Mike Johnson and Beth Bedell are the proprietors and they work out of a modest shop out in the Iowa countryside. Bill says they're great people and they do good work.
The pair also stitched up the boots around the steering column, shifter, brake pedal, and E-brake in a black vinyl. They also made a removable pouch, located under the dash, in black vinyl and they finished off the edge around the body with hidem welt and a stitched vinyl bead.
When it came to the wood dash, Russ had talked with Glen Bauer of Alta, Iowa, about cutting down an appropriate piece of wood. Glen said "I have just the piece of wood for that project," and went on to say that he had this unusual piece of Spalding maple that he was saving for one of the "Post Boys" projects.
With the final assembly done, the couple was then able to debut their brand-new, 22-year-old hot rod at the Goodguys Heartland Nationals in July of 2006. Now at a point where he can devote some time and effort into building hot rods for himself, Bill has gotten his own home shop up and running and is not only working on a '35 Ford Tudor slantback for himself, but a '34 Ford roadster for Tammy, too. With a smile, Bill says these cars will not take 22 years to finish and, when retirement comes around for Bill, he'll still have his '55 Chevy to keep him busy. See? Life does come full circle if you wait long enough!

The Argentine government's long-sought deal with Chevron Corp. to exploit shale oil reserves in Patagonia was strongly criticized Wednesday by Mapuche Indians, human rights activists, environmentalists and leftists who called it a sellout to the U.S. that could drain and pollute the nation's resources.
The $1.5 billion joint venture with Chevron was made public in a brief announcement by the state-owned YPF oil company Tuesday night. President Cristina Fernandez said the deal will promote energy independence for Argentina, but many of her one-time allies warned that it would do the opposite.
"It's an irresponsibility and a lack of consciousness that the national government hands over these resources to Chevron," said Nilo Cayuqueo, who leads a Mapuche community in Neuquen province, where the Vaca Muerta shale oil basin is. "We're talking about money here, nothing else. They don't talk about the environment, or of future generations."
Mapuches say the land belongs to them and contend they weren't consulted about the deal in violation of international treaties covering indigenous peoples. YPF denied that claim Tuesday.
Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an Argentine rights activist awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980, said the deal would hurt the country.
"We Argentines," he said, "are giving our resources to the United States and converting YPF into a highly polluting company that will use this method known as fracking," which requires millions of gallons of fresh water pumped at high pressure to extract oil and natural gas from otherwise unproductive wells deep underground in shale deposits.
Perez Esquivel said he would file suit demanding to see environmental impact studies and try to block the oil development. But he said he had little hope of success since the court system recently overturned an injunction seizing any Chevron profits in Argentina if the company didn't pay a $19 billion damage judgment won by plaintiffs in Ecuador, where the Texaco oil company since bought by Chevron was judged to have contaminated parts of the Amazon.
The deal reached with Chevron is the biggest foreign investment that Argentina has attracted since expropriating YPF from control of the Spanish company Grupo Repsol last year. Repsol is demanding $10 billion in compensation and threatens to sue any oil company that takes over the wells.

Three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador faces suspension and the loss of his 2010 title over his failed doping test in the 2010 race.
Contador, 28, learned of the decision by the cycling federation RFEC to seek a one-year suspension on Wednesday. He has 10 days to appeal before a final decision is made, according to Spanish newspaper El Pais.
Contador's spokesman and the RFEC could not immediately be reached for comment.

Contador, who has been provisionally suspended since August, tested positive for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol during last year's Tour victory. He claimed the result was due to to contaminated meat.

This achievement is earned by only sending down one of the four available Keepers; the lack of buffs from the remaining three makes the fight quite a bit more difficult. It is required for the Glory of the Ulduar Raider achievement and, subsequently, the Rusted Protodrake (Russet Potatodrake?). The one Keeper you have is entirely your choice, but there are pros and cons to each:
- Freya provides a way to restore sanity (as well as a buff).
- Thorim is the only way you can kill adds in P3 (as well as a buff).
- Mimiron debuffs the crusher and corrupter tentacles, making them slower to cast and attack (as well as a buff)
- Hodir will ice-block players to save them from something that would otherwise have killed them (as well as a buff)
Raid Makeup
On our first Yogg+1 kill, Vortex used:
- Prot Pally
- Fury Warrior
- Kitty Druid
- DK (frost dualwield)
- Affliction Warlock
- Fire Mage
- Elemental Shaman
- Survival Hunter
- Holy Priest
- Resto Druid
For totem and group-heal effectiveness, cluster your Brain Team members together in one party (perhaps with the tank as well), and your Topside Team in another party. This is especially important if you have a shaman, as their cleansing totem will only cleanse members of their party.
Make sure your raid has someone available to cleanse each type of debuff: poison (druids, shaman, pallies), curse (druids/mages/restoshaman), magic (priests/pallies/felhunters), and disease (priests/pallies/shaman).
Due to the length, it had to be cut into two parts on Youtube.
Phase 2 Transition @ 2:55
Dragon-room Portal @ 4:01
Square-room Portal @ 5:32
Phase 1: Frogger Doom
As with normal mode, don't touch the clouds (video of cloud movement pattern). This is pretty simple and repetitive and gets downright boring after a long night of wipes, but a simple mistake or bad luck can still wipe you in this phase!
Lacking Mimiron's 20% movement speed buff, your raid will have to be more pro-active in dodging clouds. The ranged DPS and healers should try to stick together, as the dots do stack and are boosted by Sara's Fervor. Healers should add the Debuffs to your raid frames (Grid directions can be found here) of Sara's Blessing and Sara's Anger; boss mods such as DBM and Bigwigs will call out the third debuff Sara's Fervor over raid chat.
|Resto Druids: toss out a rejuv and a regrowth on those afflicted by DoTs to help buffer them against the damage. I recommend keeping rejuvs up on the entire melee team as well, and using Wild Growth to heal them up after explosions.
Melee and the tank should stay in the middle of the green puddle around Sara, shifting as necessary to avoid the clouds. The tank will need to taunt the adds as they spawn to keep them off of healers, who will assuredly pick up first aggro. Melee DPS should have the HP to survive the explosion each time an add dies, though the melee should join the ranged players when they get Sara's Fervor placed upon them, as the damage boost will assuredly spell their death on an explosion (many wipes may be caused by a very unlucky timing of an explosion right as a melee gets marked by fervor!). The tank should be able to easily survive an explosion when marked by Fervor, though will of course be taking heavier damage.
Assign a specific player to also have the job of interrupting the adds' casts of Dark Volley. This needs to be a very vocal person who is not afraid to call out for help if they think they will miss an interrupt. If it is a melee player, make sure someone else takes over the interrupts whenever they must leave melee because of the Fervor debuff.
Once Sara has been angered by the constant explosions on her, toss her a kiss if you haven't before and move to "Clean Up:" if there are any other adds up, the tank should move them out of the center of the circle where Yogg is about to spawn, and ranged should group up nearby and continue killing the add. All ranged need to pay attention to where they are in relation to the add to make sure they don't kill themselves when it explodes!
Phase 2: The Hard Part
You know the tentacles: Crushers to be tanked by the tank (and everyone else to stay away from), Constrictors to be DPSed immediately to rescue whoever's being Squeezed, and the Corrupters that keep debuffing the raid. Designate a leader for the Brain Team and a leader for the Topside Team (that is not the tank): these are the players their team will follow when there's any doubt of where to go. The tank, meanwhile, makes it a priority to get to the Crusher tentacle ASAP. Since the tank could leave Topside team behind due to constrictor tentacles, another distinguishable player should be the one the Topside team will group up on and follow. We found it easiest to say "follow the tree." The leader then just makes an effort to reach the tank and crusher as quickly as possible while calling out for constrictors, as necessary. Boss mods will likely wipe any raid icons you attempt to use.
If you have opted for Thorim over Freya, Sanity becomes a commodity that must be protected. If there is anyone near you that is feared, move away from them, because the fear and resulting sanity loss will jump from them to you when their fear ends! Avoid these chain fears as much as possible.
-- Topside team priority:
- Avoid Green Beams
- Keep the Mind-Links "happy"
- Move away from any raid member who is feared
- Kill Constrictors
- Kill Crushers
- Kill Corrupters
The tank will chase after Crushers, possibly leaving the rest behind as they deal with Constrictors, which is why a non-tank leader should be set in this group, to prevent the team from splitting up and going around opposite sides of Yogg to meet at the tank (which runs a high risk of loosing a member to a constrictor when they're far away from the rest of the team). The group needs to keep a careful balance of sticking together (cleanses, constrictor rescue, heals, mind links) and spreading out (watching for green beams, not chaining fears/Malady).
Whenever Yogg is about to finish casting Induce Madness (and thus the Brain Team will be evacuating), the Topside team leader should call out their location in the room relative to Yogg's Mouth, in order to facilitate the Brain Team regrouping with the Topside team for heals, cleanses, and mind links.
-- Brain team priority:
- Not Going Insane
- Avoid Green Beams
- Reaching Portals
- Move away from feared/maladied raid members
- Keeping Mind-Links "Happy" (these will break when reaching Portals)
- Killing the Illusions
- DPSing the mind
- Killing Constrictors
- Killing Corrupters
When getting to a portal, if any of the Brain Team is affected by a Mind Link or Constrictor or other effect that may hold them back, they need to call out that they "Need a Near Portal" to let the others of their team know to leave them a portal up that they can reach quickly when they are free. It can help for these players to also be assigned to a specific portal, that they will station themselves near when the portals are about to spawn; just be ready to switch portals if a member is unable to get into position due to fears or links or constrictors. Mind Links will break when entering a portal.
Once in the portal, any of 3 room layouts may spawn. There are some good pics at this link :)
Your Brain Team will need to pre-arrange which direction each member will go to kill illusions. If any member is having difficulty with low health or low sanity and cannot finish clearing their side of the room, they will need to call out for assistance to ensure that the whole team can quickly clear the room and reach the brain.
Once all of the illusions are destroyed, the tentacles on the topside will freeze, allowing your topside team to more easily dispatch them while the Brain Team works on Yogg himself. At 30%, Yogg will transition to phase 3, however the Brain Team will need to portal out of the Mind before he finishes casting Induce Madness. Any who are caught in the mind when this is finished casting will immediately go insane and must be killed by the other raid members.
|If you go insane, call it out quickly and ask to be destroyed, or else you may wipe the raid.
Insane players will still be insane if they res after dieing, including Soulstones, Ankhs, and Battle Resses. If you went insane and got killed, just stay down!
The topside leader should be calling out where the topside team is when the Brain team exits; the Brain team should make their way quickly to regroup with the team in order to get any needed heals or cleanses, and to ensure bad things don't happen with mind links; however, if a member of their group is constricted, they will need to break him out quickly and not leave him behind! Once regrouped and healed, the Brain Team will take out any lingering corrupters while waiting for the next portals to spawn, and should stick together to rescue each other from constrictors.
Phase 3: More Adds
When the Brain Team is about to transition Yogg to Phase 3 (at 30%), they will need to call out a warning, and possibly hold off DPS until the Topside team has killed all crushers and have corrupters under control (use your best judgment, raid leaders!). Try to avoid going for more than 3 rounds in the brain room, however; the Brain Team may be forced to push past 30% before Induce Madness finishes casting, even if a Crusher is still up.
When Yogg transitions, the tank should immediately begin picking up the adds as they spawn, because they can and will one-shot healers. These are not the fluffy C'thulu bunnies of phase 1. All DPS assigned to Yogg will need to move to destroying any remaining tentacles, while those assigned to DPS adds need to reach the tank and begin DPS immediately. The healers should work their way towards the door to the room while the tank moves to place herself between Yogg and the healers, in order to provide as much time as possible to pick up the adds before the reach and one-shot a healer.
At this point, your raid's sanity will be very bumpy, with some members nearing insanity if you chose to not have Freya and her Sanity Wells as your Keeper (like we did). Healers can permanently face themselves away from Yogg, though the DPS and tank will need to be monitoring the cooldown and casting of Lunatic Gaze. I recommend having one person constantly watching the cooldown and calling out when the raid needs to turn its backs; provided you are no where near Yogg's enrage timer, it is preferable to loose some DPS time on Yogg over having a raider go insane.
Add DPS: if you are low on sanity, it is possible to situate yourself so that your back is permanently to Yogg and his skulls, allowing you to continue dpsing on the adds throughout the Lunatic Gaze. This has the downside of placing yourself where the adds spawn as opposed to behind the safteyline of the tank, but it has the bonus of being able to ignore the dps-halt of turning away from Yogg. Your goal is to dps down the adds as quickly as possible WITHOUT pulling threat off of the tank, and interrupt the Drain Life! Thorim himself will kill the adds with a hammer when they are down to 1%, if you have kept Thorim as your Keeper. We had the following players on adds:
- Prot Pally Tank
- DK (frost dualwield)
- Mage
- Fury Warrior

Yogg DPS: after ensuring that all remaining tentacles are dead, your only concern is to kill Yogg as fast as possible without going insane, and to turn away from Yogg every time he casts Lunatic Gaze. If you are dpsing from the backside of Yogg, you will not be in range of the healers, so be ready to move to the front of Yogg if you are in need of healing. We had the following players on Yogg:
- Kitty Druid
- Warlock
- Hunter
Your two healers should be capable of keeping up the tank without too many mana concerns, provided your add DPS is able to balance their threat with their damage and not pull aggro nor let the tank take too many heavy hits. Healers can rotate their cameras to watch when adds are coming in, so that they can time larger heals to coincide with the tank picking up a fresh add who is at high health (and thus will be hitting hard). The healers will be the primary aggro on the adds as they spawn if HoTs are kept running and heals are pouring out constantly, which is why they place themselves up near the door where the adds will take longer to reach them.
Walk it down and avoid going insane from the Lunatic Gaze, and you've got yourself an achievement with a single Light in the Darkness :)

The question of the day on our little quiz on what everybody "knows" about earthquakes:
California has the biggest and the mostest earthquakes in the world. True or False?
I know that "mostest" is not really a word, but it somehow seems to fit well in the question of the day (a little like Stephen Colbert's 'truthiness'). So, what is the answer? My California audience was a little divided on this one, but mostly fell into the "false" camp.
So let's check on some data. If you look at the maps in the previous post, you can see that California certainly has a great many earthquakes, perhaps 10,000-15,000 year, and some of them are rather considerable.
There have been three earthquakes in the last 150 years that are thought to have approached magnitude 8 in size: 1857 at Fort Tejon, 1872 at Lone Pine, and 1906 in San Francisco.
|San Francisco earthquake of 1906

Those are a lot of earthquakes. So let's take the "biggest" issue first. The quake in Japan that destroyed the nuclear power plant and produced the Pacific-wide tsunami was magnitude 9.0. The quake in Sumatra in 2004 that produced the horrific tsunami in the Indian Ocean was magnitude 9.1. So, California doesn't have the biggest earthquakes. Not even close (but check for the wild card issue at the end of this post).
There is a great deal of confusion about the nature of the magnitude scale for measuring earthquakes. It is not a 1-10 scale, for instance, even though literally all recorded earthquakes fall within that range. It is open-ended, and quakes of greater than magnitude 10 are technically possible, but not likely from terrestrial origin. It would take the impact of an asteroid miles across to cause a quake larger than about 9.5 on the magnitude scale.
The biggest confusion concerns the relative size of quakes. Magnitude is a measure of the energy released when an earthquake strikes. A magnitude 9 quake is not just a little bit bigger than a magnitude 8. It is exponentially larger, by a factor of 32. To put it a different way, a magnitude 9 quake releases an amount of energy that is equivalent to 32 magnitude 8 earthquakes!
It gets worse: Since a 9 is 32 times more than an 8, and an 8 is 32 times bigger than a 7, a magnitude 9 quake is more than 1000 times larger than a 7 (32x32).
A magnitude 9 quake is the energy equivalent of more than 1,000 magnitude 7 earthquakes...
Put another way: the Japan 9.0 quake released more energy than all of California's historical earthquakes combined.
The story is pretty much the same with the total number of earthquakes. California has a great many smaller quakes, but just about any subduction zone around the world has more. Even in the United States, Alaska has more earthquakes than California (as well as the second-largest earthquake ever recorded in the world, the 9.3 magnitude Good Friday quake of 1964).
So why does California get this reputation of having an inordinate number of earthquakes? I feel compelled to blame the way news is reported in this country. Cable and local news coverage of earthquakes is atrocious for the most part, with badly misinformed reporters and news-readers (I don't consider them to be news anchors or journalists anymore). There is a tendency to display blood and gore over actual conditions on the ground. The media will spend weeks talking about an earthquake in Los Angeles or San Francisco that kills a few people and practically ignore monumental tragedies in Pakistan or Iran where tens of thousands of people have died.
There is a beautifully done parody of practically every overblown news story ever seen on television on Onion News. The language is not safe for work, but imagine the reporters saying earthquake instead of b...sh.t and you get the idea of how it all works.
As mentioned above, there is one wild card in the possibility of large earthquakes hitting California. The state does in fact have a subduction zone that is active north of Fortuna and Eureka. It is part of the Cascadia subduction zone that threatens Oregon and Washington. There is good evidence that a magnitude 9 earthquake took place along the system in 1700, and there is no reason to think that the fault system is any less dangerous now.

I've written a couple of times about efforts by Northern California artist, photographer, and author Derek Pell to create a pictorial collection of 100 "missing mysteries," puckish fronts for whodunit and thriller novels that never actually existed. He started out by periodically dropping new covers in that line onto a page of his online magazine, Zoom Street. More recently, however, the "missing mysteries" seemed to go missing themselves; last week, I could no longer find a link to that once-growing set from Pell's site. So I shot him an e-note, asking what had become of those book covers.
Well, it seems that Pell had hoped to create a full, printable book of "missing
mysteries"--with plot descriptions of each imagined work--but when he couldn't
find a publisher ("Rizzoli nearly did it," he says, "but backed out."), Pell
let the project slide, concentrating his energy instead on another venture, Black Scat Books. Fortunately, my
query about the "missing mysteries" provoked Pell to post his whole (189-page)
unpublished book online as a PDF document.
Click here for a free download.
Where else, I ask, can you find such long-forgotten masterpieces of mystery
fiction as Malice in Wonderland ("a hare-raising tale"), Dashiell
Hammett's obscure Sam Spade novel, Murder Is a Four-Letter Word, Raymond
Chandler's Call Me Shallow, But Bury Me Deep, and Odor in the Court
("a scratch 'n' sniff mystery")?

Sweet Life
a VAMPIRE!!!
I sewed her voluminous black cape, complete with epic hood, out of a big piece of stash stretchy velvet that I bought at Goodwill sometime or other.
And her fangs, can you tell?
Yep, plastic fork.
Sydney wanted to be a "leaf mermaid," whatever that is. I sewed her a pillowcase skirt, she decorated the skirt with Tee Juice fabric marker leaves (and a sun and sky and raindrops and clouds, etc.), and then I safety-pinned one of her no-sew tutus to the bottom to flutter out like a mermaid's tail. The rest of her outfit (what little there is, yes, I am aware) is made from our hand-dyed play silks tied around her:
We have a FABULOUS neighborhood for trick-or-treating--lots of families, LOTS of houses with porch lights lit, lots of undergrad rentals in which, if they're girls, they give out enormous amounts of really good candy, and if they're dudes, they come to the door half-dressed, look surprised to see you, then shuffle around in their cabinets before handing over sweet stuff like powerbars and cans of soda and money.
LOVE our neighborhood:
We always head out at sunset, and I always force everyone to arm themselves amply with glowsticks, and Matt always looks about like this about his glowstick necklace--
--but I swear, that article that they run in the newspaper on Halloween every year, advising drivers to be especially cautious because kids will be running around like idiots? They write that article on account of my kids, who ran around and dashed back and forth across the street and fell down porch stairs and walked right into people's houses while I ran after them and shouted a lot:
Yep, I'm the unwary mom who lets my girls accept cups of apple cider from total strangers, the lax mom who does not pay my kids to take their candy or hand it off to the candy fairy or stuff it in the freezer to dish out a piece a day or whatever the cool parents are doing this year, the neglectful mom who, when a kid looked up from her haul later that night, her mouth full of candy, and asked, "Hey, did we have dinner?", replied, "Candy. That's your dinner."
And yet somehow I HAVE managed to get the children to keep their candy wrappers picked up (so far) this year, and they keep coming up to me, unbidden, and offering me pieces of chocolate, which they know is my favorite, and this year my shy girl went up to every single house with her little sister, and said, "Trick-or-treat!" and "Thank you!" AND "Happy Halloween!" at every. Single. House!
See? Sweet life, with Reese's cups and all.

This was the first year were we really did much for Halloween. My daughter is almost 6. The town right next to ours had a great afternoon trick-or-treat along Main Street, so we went there. Most places she was to shy to say anything, but when given the option of two lollipops (her favorite) for a joke, she spit one out on the spot. And it was funny :)

LOL! I thought I was the only one who fed her kids candy for dinner on Halloween. They're grown now, and I really don't think it ruined their lives!
- November 2, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Sounds like you guys had a great time! The candy fairy came to our house, but only b/c the kid has massive food allergies and I didn't want to ruin her trick-or-treating fun with a lot of 'no thank you, I can't eat that...' She knew she was collecting candy for a good cause, lol! It was also good chance to introduce persuasive letter writing!

Digital technologies and social media can help governments become more responsive and deliver public services better and faster, said Haoliang Xu, UNDP Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific.
The use of digital media has the potential to engage citizens in creating a better future, Mr. Xu said, speaking at the inaugural Activate Summit in Singapore this week, organized by Britain's Guardian newspaper.
Activate's summits and online platform provide an opportunity for leaders and innovators working across all sectors to investigate how digital technologies can help in dealing with critical issues and transform people's lives. UNDP's Global Centre for Public Service Excellence in Singapore partnered with the Guardian to host the Singapore summit.
The summits build awareness of development needs and encourage businesses and leaders to come up with innovative solutions to help the poor and marginalized.
Speaking at a panel discussion on 'Tech-led Innovation in Public Services and the Future of Regional and Global Governance,' Mr Xu said, technology and social media have empowered citizens giving them new avenues to have their voices heard and to participate in government decision- and policymaking.
He cautioned that access to ICT's is uneven, and that this digital divide puts some developing nations and some of the world's poorest at a disadvantage. So efforts must be made to ensure that technology and services reach these groups to increase participation in decision-making and to improve accountability and transparency.
To illustrate the innovative potential of digital technology in development, Mr Xu pointed to a UNDP supported "mobile phone cash transfer" initiative in the Philippines that has helped provide fast and safe payments to typhoon Haiyan survivors enrolled in cash-for-work schemes.
UNDP and its partners, SMART mobile phone operator and the government's LANDBANK, created the service by which participants can withdraw payments for their work from banks and stores with a cell phone and a debit card issued by the LANDBANK.
In Central Asia, UNDP and two national medical institutions brought the first e-Health Services initiative to the Kyrgyz Republic. Under the programme, skilled medical experts from hospitals in the capital of Bishkek can 'talk' to remote local health workers, transmit life-saving information, and assist with diagnosis and prescriptions using e-health technology.
By the end of 2012, UNDP was supporting over 200 e-governance projects in close to 100 countries, for a quarter billion per year.
Mr Xu highlighted a range of issues where digital technology has empowered ordinary citizens by allowing them to report corruption or abuse, threats to security, alerted them of their status on legal issues and helped them get timely access to government.
When an earthquake struck off the coast of Japan in March 2011, over 120,000 people in vulnerable coastal communities of the Philippines and 300,000 in Papua New Guinea, received early warning of a possible tsunami via text messages. Many of these people were in remote areas and may have never been reached without such a system.
Using digital technology the UN system has increased people's involvement in the debate about the post-2015 development agenda, launching a global conversation via social media, other websites, and face to face meetings, he added.
This resulted in an unprecedented series of consultations with people across the world to seek their views on a new development agenda to build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals. Over 1.5 million people participated.
Mr Xu cautioned that data collected by public authorities is a treasure trove which needs protection. There is a need to balance security, privacy and accountability, and democratic societies have a better chance of establishing the governance mechanisms to preserve such a balance without having to go overboard, he said.
To foster awareness of development issues and needs of people across the world UNDP's Global Centre sponsored one category of Activate's Tech Talent Competition. Its focus was on empowering the poor, excluded or vulnerable people in developing countries to better access or benefit from public services.

Learn Windows XP Professional in 15 Minutes a Week: Attended Installations
by Jason Zandri
Welcome to this week's installment of Windows XP Professional Exam (70-270) in 15 minutes a week, the second in this series. This article covers attended installations of Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM.Jason Zandri's latest article in the Learning Windows XP Professional in 15 Minutes a Week series covers the four stages of an attended installation of Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM.
Installing Windows XP Professional from a CD-ROM to a clean hard disk consists of these four stages:
Running the Setup program - Partitions and formats the hard disk (if required) for the installation to proceed and copies the files necessary to run the Setup Wizard.
Running the Setup Wizard - Requests setup information about the local workstation where the installation is taking place.
Networking components - Installs the networking components that allow the computer to communicate with other computers on the local network.
Completing the installation - This final phase copies files to the hard drive and configures the final stages of the setup.
There are some noted differences in the Windows XP Professional installation and older Windows NT4 and Windows Professional installations.
The design of the installation program assumes that your system has the ability to boot directly from a CD-ROM or that you will use a Windows 95/98/ME boot floppy to begin installing from a CD. The ability to directly create setup floppies has been dropped from Windows XP. Setup boot disks are available only by download from Microsoft. The Setup boot disks are available so that you can run Setup on computers that do not support a bootable CD-ROM.
There are six Windows XP Setup boot floppy disks. These disks contain the files and drivers that are required to access the CD-ROM drive through generic PCI drivers and begin the Setup process.
If your computer does support booting from a CD-ROM, or if network-based installation is available, Microsoft recommends that you use those installations methods.
Setup will not prompt the user to specify the name of an installation folder unless you are performing an unattended installation or using winnt32 to perform a clean installation.
By default, the Setup Wizard installs the Windows XP Professional operating system files in the WINDOWS folder. If this folder exists on the partition you have chosen for the install, setup will warn you that you are about to overwrite the current operating system installed on that partition. In order to keep it (e.g. dual or multi booting scenario), you would need to choose another partition for the installation.
To start the Setup program, insert the Windows XP Professional installation CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
If an operating system is detected on the hard drive, the following message will appear;
In this scenario, you would need to press any key on the keyboard to continue with the CDROM installation.
After the computer starts, a minimal version of Windows XP Professional is copied into memory. This version of Windows XP Professional starts the Setup program.
After all of the files are copied and the system is restarted, the text-mode portion of Setup is started which prompts you to read and accept a licensing agreement.
You would select "F8-I agree" to continue. (If you elect not to accept the agreement, the installation will end)
You are then prompted to select a partition on which to install Windows XP Professional. You can select an existing partition or create a new partition by using any unpartitioned free space on the hard drive(s).
(The above example shows a partitioned and formatted drive)
Once a partition has been selected the next step is to select a file system for the new partition. Next, Setup formats the partition with the selected file system. (This would assume that a file system didn't currently exist. In this example, one already does and it is formatted in NTFS so I have elected to leave it as is. Any formatting done here during setup will destroy any existing data on the partitions formatted.)
From here Setup copies files to the hard disk and saves configuration information.
Setup restarts the computer once the file copy is completed and then starts the Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard, the graphical user interface (GUI) portion of Setup.

Tip-Top Tuning
Ten dirt-suspension tuning tips from the experts
What is the best way to get your dirt Late Model to stick to the track and perform in a winning manner? Circle Track Maga-zine went to Keith Nosbishs race shop in Valrico, Florida, to find out. Nosbish races a dirt Late Model in the Southeast Motorsport series in Florida and at East Bay Raceway in Tampa. He comes from a family of racers, including his father, two brothers, and nephew. We also spoke with Mark Richards, manufacturer of Rocket Chassis, to learn some tips that will help every dirt Late Model racer.
The track goes through different stagesfrom being heavy, loose dirt, to being packed with an asphalt- like feel as the races progress during the day, Nosbish explains. Because of this, there is a need for constant change to the race cars suspension to keep it on the track and be competitive with the other racers.
Here are several crucial tuning tips supplied by both Nosbish and Richards to help you get around the track faster than your opponent:
1 When you set up a modern dirt Late Model, it is best to start with the recommendations from the chassis builder, then adjust from there. This will assure positive results more quickly.
2 Analyze your handling problems correctly. You wont help matters by fixing a misdiagnosed problem, so think through your problems before you make changes.
3 Dont tune too tight. This can cause your race car to get too much traction and understeer. A common error with tuning too tight is that the driver may overcompensate in the turns, which gives the car a loose feel. This can result in a misdiagnosis and an incorrect adjustment.
4 Make sure you factor in tire choices when making adjust-ments. Proper tire compound, con-struction, and air pressure is a critical part of handling.
5 Be careful not to overadjust any suspension component; this can produce an effect that is the opposite of what is desired.
6 Make changes in one area at a time, so you can understand what you did and how it affected the race car. Making multiple changes is a shot-in-the-dark approach that usually nets poor results.
7 Shock tuning has become extremely important to help make a race car handle properly. Double-adjustable shocks make it easier to accomplish this part of tuning.
8 When running at a stop-and-gotype of dirt track, a tighter suspension is usually best.
9 When running a big-momentum type of dirt track, a looser or freer type of setup will usually help you run faster.
10 database with accurate records of all your race cars changes and results will help eliminate continual trial and error. Include track information for better results.

Capacity Building
Access to justice constitutes one of the three pillars of the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention). It is set out in article 9 of the Convention and is one of the most important prerequisites for effective public participation in environmental decision-making and thus effective environmental protection.
Capacity-building activities related to access to justice, including workshops and trainings, are given priority in the Work Programme for 2012-2014 adopted by the Meeting of the Parties at its fourth session. Primarily nowadays these activities are aimed at supporting legal professionals, especially members of judiciary bodies and public interests lawyers.

The Dead, Ritual Executions (2010)
Australia's The Dead self-released their sophomore album Ritual Executions last year. 2010, however, sees them freshly signed to India's newly-launched Diabolical Conquest Records, with Ritual Executions getting a remastering job, updated artwork, and seeing a proper label release. A murky hybrid and death metal and doom is the order of business for this Australian trio, but we're not talking the doom/death of early Peaceville mopesters Anathema, Katatonia, Paradise Lost et al; instead, this is more like the dank, doomy, crypt-like death metal of early Incantation, or the quicker moments of legendary gut-wrenchers Disembowelment (though, in all fairness, if Incantation worship is your cup of righteous tea, the new Father Befouled album out on Relapse ought to be destination one).
The album starts off with a slow dirge of a song in "Burn Your Dead," with a pleasantly thick, skull-rattling bass tone on the arpeggio riffs. Vocalist Mike Yee demonstrates some abominably deep, guttural death tones, which are mixed in such a way as not to overpower the music, but still somewhat higher in the mix than many similarly-pitched vocalists, in a manner which verges on the comprehensible. The closing sections of "Burn Your Dead" utilize an effective rhythmic compositional style to drone out with – a measure of 4/4 time followed by a measure of 3/4 time. It's a fairly simple tool, but it demonstrates that some deliberate thought has gone into the crafting of these tomes of death.
If you've picked up on that, though, later track "Centurian" is a bit of a let-down, since it, too, boasts that same meter (though in a somewhat more straight-forward 7/4 attack) for pretty much its entire duration. The vocals also become somewhat monotonous as the album wears on, although not so much that they detract terribly from the masterful display of grooving, doom-tinged death metal.
The production isn't quite gritty or fuzzed-out enough to push this album into sludge territory, but some of the songwriting veers in the direction of booze-drenched misanthropy. There are a few frustrating quirks to the drum production, though. The hi-hat has got a weird buzz to it, and the kick drum could stand to be mixed a little higher. Still, it's not overly clean, and although it rings somewhat hollow, the drum production still sounds like a real person pounding away on a real kit.
The album works effectively as a whole because of the band's strong compositional skills, and the smart sequencing of tracks to alternate between trudging epics and more in-your-face, aggressive death metal blasts. Some of the quicker tunes like "Cannibal Abattoir" show a very sprightly, almost jittery style of drumming (particularly in the snare drum work), which is occasionally reminiscent of a slightly less-busy Brann Dailor from Mastodon's early work (think Remission or even Lifesblood). I'm also not sure if it's just because I've been listening to too much Kylesa lately, but I swear that some of these faster moments have a similar psychedelic feeling in the riffing. At any rate, if the prospect of this type of doomy, well-composed death metal with non-obtrusive psychedelic touches gets your blackened heart all a-flutter, then you would do well to check this album out.
The funk drumming breaks in "Born In a Grave" are a bit jarring, but ultimately provide an interesting contrast to the more standard death metal signifiers used throughout. The latter sections of this song, however, have some great, cavernous echoing effects to match the atmosphere of patient, plodding doom, and actually turn this track into one of the album's highlights. The build-up and eventual release around the five-minute mark ("BOOOOOORRRRRN…IN A GRAAAAVE") is absolutely fantastic, and leads me into a near-apoplectic fit of wanting to smash furiously anything within reach. Hide the china.
Other excellent moments include the groovy riff and breakdown around 1:30 into the title track, which is seriously crushing. Think of the bulldozing momentum of Bolt Thrower or Asphyx, and you're well on your way to grasping the effect of concrete slabs dropped repeatedly on your head. The closing track "Death Metal Suicide" is a quite interesting change of pace, offering up another set of pretty funky grooves, especially in the drumming. Whatever else you may think of it, it's an extremely bold choice, playing a ten-minute long, funk-influenced instrumental jam to close out one's album in a genre as frequently myopic and orthodox as death metal.
Some of the more avant-garde moments on this disc recall queasy death metal savants Gorguts (circa Obscura, primarily) and Portal, the latter of which may be more than a coincidence, as Ritual Executions was remastered by Aphotic, one of the guitarists from Portal. The Dead don't ever quite reach the same level of otherness (or what-the-fuck-ness) as either of the aforementioned bands, but it's clear that they are drinking some of the same fetid water.
In general, the mélange of styles offered on this record ends up meshing rather well into a unique death metal whole. Fans of the already-mentioned unsettled death metal acts Portal and Gorguts may find much to enjoy here, as will fans of the more strictly deathly side of doom/death metal. One of the primary references which continues lurching into mind is Lasse Pyykkö (of Profound Lore's Hooded Menace, as well as Phlegethon, Vacant Coffin, Claws, etc.), fans of whose should flock to this Australian cult with morbid glee. Diabolical Conquest Records have found themselves a real winner of an album here, and I will be eagerly following future releases from this grimly determined band. If Tom G. Warrior is to be believed, and only death is real, then get yourself a copy of Ritual Executions for a sledgehammer dose of heavy fucking metal reality.
Overall rating: 80%. "BOOOOOOORRRRN…IN A GRAAAAAVE!!!" Doesn't get much better than that, friends.
More information on Diabolical Conquest Records is available at their website, where you can also order a copy of Ritual Executions.

Greek Bishop Condemns Gay Pride, Homosexuality
A prominent Greek Orthodox bishop is making headlines this week after saying homosexuality is a "perversion of human existence" and Gay Pride is a "disgrace and a challenge," Pink News reports.
Bishop Anthimos of Thessaloniki's comments were made about Thessaloniki's pride parade. Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and fifth largest and most populated city in the Balkans.
"Do not give dogs what is holy," the bishop said, quoting Matthew. "Show respect that my position and life is wholly dedicated to the church and the people and respect the fact that I'm well behaved, so don't associate me with this disgrace. Enough. This is a perversion of the human existence."
He added that he may attend an anti-gay vigil by Christian organizations on Friday to protest the Pride event, which will take place Friday and Saturday (June 20-21).
Gay Star News reports anti-gay groups affiliated with the Greek Orthodox Church gathered nearly 20,000 signatures for a petition, calling for a ban on Gay Pride and urging parents and their children to be free from "unholy and unnatural events."
Thessaloniki Mayor Yannis Boutaris says he doesn't have share the same views as Bishop Anthimos when it comes to the LGBT community.
"We see eye to eye on many issues with the bishop and we have a very good cooperation," he said. "On other issues, we just don't share the same view and we don't cooperate."
As Pink Star notes, the Thessaloniki Pride event in 2012 drew dozens of people who threw eggs and bottles of water at the 400 people participating in the event. Additionally, a Greek bishop last year threatened to excommunicate any officials in his diocese who supports same-sex civil partnership legislation.
Greece's ban on same-sex civil unions goes against the European Convention of Human Rights. On November 7, the European Court of Human Rights said excluding same-sex couples from legal recognition was wrong, Pink Star reports.

It's late. You've got a movie on. Or Pandora. And you're
frantically happily wrapping gifts and stashing them away for Christmas.
And then you reach the end of the roll.
And if you're using cheapie wrapping paper like me, that means you're face to face with not a solid cardboard tube, but a 12"-18" roll of heavy paper that doubles as a tube.
Who cares, right?
Wrap the dang present and toss the faux-tube, right?
Wait! Don't toss that!
I've got SEVEN reasons to hang onto to that wrapping paper center.
And to make all of them easier, do yourself a favor and reroll that paper width-wise instead of length-wise—it's much easier to store. While you're at it, roll several together to keep all of it in one, neat spot.
#1 – Get Your VonTrapp On
Neighbor gifts, presents or any of your "favorite things" look snazzy with minimal effort or cost.
#2 – Paper Crafts
The natural color and subtle texture are great for cards and art projects without the premium craft store price.
#3 – Make stencils and patterns for craft projects
This paper's heavier than regular craft paper and holds it's shape better. Sewing patterns hold up better and stencils have less bleed through from paint or marker.
#4 – Wrap Shipping Boxes
This heavy weight holds up like a champ in the mail and post office types adore it.
#5 – Protect Your Work Spaces
Painting, coloring and gluing projects just got a whole lot neater. And unlike newspaper, there's not risk of paint soaking through.
#6 – Protect Breakables
Skip the flimsy paper towels and cut squares to layer in between holiday plates and serving platters. This paper is both pliable and thick enough to protect dishes from scratching and moving when stacked.
#7 – Line Pet Cages and Kennels
Thicker is always better here. Always.
So …
Left-over wrapping paper center?
It's What-Not-To-Toss this holiday weekend!

An online acquaintance made an excellent series of videos in response to last year's General Conference talk by Holland that many Mormons are still rabidly promoting on the internet. It's an illogical, emotional, manipulative, arrogant and dishonest example of public speaking. But I'll let FlackerMan tell you all about it:

I was having some problems with my Java code. The program writen below is for a class. The question asks:
In this exercise, you are asked to rewrite the Programming Example Classify Numbers...rewrite the program to incorporate the following requirements:
a. Data to the program is input from a file of unspecified length
b. Save the output of the program to a file
c. Write the method getNumber so that it reads a number from the input file (opened in the method main), outputs the number to the output file (opened in the method main), and sends the number read to the method main. Print only 10 numbers per line.
d. Have the program find the sum and average of the numbers
e. Write the method printResults so that it outputs the final results to the output file (opened in the method main). Other than outputting the appropriate counts, the definition of the method printResults should also output the sum and the average of the numbers
The program that you are asked to rewrite pretty much take in numbers from the keyboard (20 at a time) and then says how many of the numbers are even, odd, or zero.
For this program to work, I wrote my own class IntClass so the variables would pass from method to method, but I'm still getting errors, please help! Thanks!
Code for IntClass:
public class IntClass{
private int x;
public IntClass(){ x= 0;}
public IntClass(int num) { x = num;}
public void setNum(int num){ x = num;}
public int getNum() { return x;}
public void addToNum(int num) {x = x +num;}
public void multiplyToNum(int num) { x = x *num;}
public int compareTo(int num){ return (x-num);}
public boolean equals (int num) { if (x == num)
return true;
else return false;}
public String toString(){ return (String.valueOf(x));}
My current code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Evensoddszeros{
public static void main (String [] args)throws IOException{
int evenscount =0;
int oddscount=0;
int zeroscount =0;
int count =0;
IntClass number = new IntClass (0);
IntClass zeros = new IntClass (0);
IntClass odds = new IntClass (0);
IntClass evens = new IntClass (0);
int sum=0;
int average =0;
Scanner inFile = new Scanner( new FileReader ("F:\\Ch7_Ex11Data.txt"));
PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter("F:\\classifynumbersoutput.txt");
getNumber(number, inFile, outFile);
classifyNumber(number.getNum(), zeros, odds, evens);
count ++;
if (count % 10 == 0)
sum = sum + number.getNum();
average = sum/count;
public static void getNumber(IntClass number, Scanner inFile, PrintWriter outFile ){
outFile.print(number.getNum() + " ");
public static void printResult (IntClass Number, IntClass evens, IntClass odds, IntClass zeros, int sum, int average){
outFile.println("There are " + evens + " evens, " + " there are " + odds + " odds, " + "and there are " + zeros + " zeros");
outFile.println("The sum of the numbers is: " + sum);
outFile.println("The average of the numbers is: " + average);
public static void classifyNumber(int number, IntClass zeroscount, IntClass oddscount, IntClass evenscount){
switch (number %2){
case 0: IntClass evens.addToNum(1);
if ( number == 0);
IntClass zeros.addToNum(1);
case 1:
case -1: IntClass odds.addToNum(1);

Oral sex now main cause of oral cancer: Who faces biggest risk?
(CBS) What's the leading cause of oral cancer? Smoking? Heavy drinking?
Actually, it's oral sex.
Scientists say that 64 percent of cancers of the oral cavity, head, and neck in the U.S. are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is commonly spread via oral sex, NPR reported. The more oral sex you have - and the more oral sex partners you have - the greater the risk of developing these potentially deadly cancers.
"An individual who has six or more lifetime partners - on whom they've performed oral sex - has an eightfold increase in risk compared to someone who has never performed oral sex, Ohio State University's Dr. Maura Gillison, said at a recent scientific meeting, according to NPR.
It's news that might alarm some parents, who worry about adolescents' appetite for oral sex.
"Today's teens consider oral sex to be casual, socially acceptable, inconsequential, and significantly less risky to their health than 'real' sex," Dr. Gillison and colleagues said in a written statement released in conjunction with the meeting.
Teens simply think oral sex is "not that a big a deal," Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. "Parents and health educators are not talking to teens about oral sex. Period."
But simply needling teens about the risks posed by oral sex and HPV - the same virus that causes cervical cancer - is no substitute for literally giving them the needle.
"When my patients ask whether they should vaccinate their sons, I say 'certainly," Gillison said, the Telegraph reported. "The vaccine will protect them against genital warts and anal cancer and also as a potential byproduct of that it may protect them against oral cancer caused by HPV."
This year, 37,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or pharyngeal cancer this year, according to the Oral Cancer Foundation. Eight thousand will die from the cancers.
