Amazing Flash Mob! Devereux students participate in "Let's Move Ulster County" event
(New York)
On Tuesday May 28th, over a dozen students from the Red Hook Campus participated in their second dance event sponsored by "Let's Move Ulster" and the Ulster County Department of Health. Inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama's fitness initiative, Let's Move Ulster offers a variety of fitness events to area residents. The students from Devereux had been diligently practicing a dance routine in preparation for this event. Their hard work paid off and everyone did a fantastic job. We have received numerous compliments from people at the event. They were impressed with the large and well behaved group we brought to participate. Devereux was well represented. The event coordinator was so impressed that he invited some students on stage to help instruct the crowd with the Let's Move Ulster Flash Mob Dance. It was a proud moment to watch everyone while they were having so much fun just letting loose and dancing. The hard work of the staff who helped everyone make this happen is greatly appreciated. Everyone had a great time, and we are looking forward to next year's event.

When it comes to kitchen design, the newest thing under the sun is, literally, the sun, as today's kitchens take to the great outdoors in ever-increasing numbers. The outdoor flavors, the experience of enjoying food hot off the grill, the fresh air environment — these all create a unique experience to spend time with loved ones. And, while a simple barbeque grill may once have sufficed, today's outdoor cooking centers now are complete outdoor kitchens.

Ron Guth: The 1852 Half Dime is a very common coin at all condition levels, whether circulated or Mint State. Even Gem (MS65) examples can be found with relative ease. Above MS65, the population drops dramatically, culminating in a single, simply monstrous, PCGS MS68. This date represents great value for the type collector because of the high availability and the relatively low cost.
A few examples of this date show weakness on the denticles on both sides. This may be a function of worn dies or sloppy quality control due to the large mintage.

Tuesday, 16 April 2013 07:51 AM
The cool response let some of the air out of a resolution passed at the Democratic Party's state convention on Sunday that called the measure's approach to taxes on commercial property "unfair" and demanding reform.
"We won't do anything in 2013-2014 if at all," said Rhys Williams, a spokesman for the Senate's top Democrat, Darrell Steinberg. "We've just been given that supermajority by the voters who have entrusted us to deliver - so let's deliver that first."
The anti-tax group Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which is named for Proposition 13's original sponsor and opposes any effort to diminish it, didn't appear too worried.
"Pardon me while I give a giant yawn," said Kris Vosburgh, the group's spokesman.
Grassroots activists, emboldened by the Democratic supermajority in both houses of the state legislature, have vowed to take their crusade to the mainstream, and ultimately push reluctant lawmakers to take on Proposition 13.
"It's in their Democratic hearts - it's on their wish list," said political analyst David Mark, editor-in-chief of the website Politix. "But it seems like any real action is not likely to happen any time soon."
Lenny Goldberg, a Proposition 13 critic who helped write the Democrats' resolution, said backers plan a two-year campaign to win over public opinion as well as elected lawmakers.
"Elected officials who are not necessarily paying much attention now will definitely be paying attention in 2015," Goldberg said.
Proposition 13, credited with saving millions of homeowners from facing overwhelming tax burdens during a housing bubble in the late 1970s and early 1980s, has long been considered the untouchable "third rail" of California politics.
Under the ballot measure, property taxes are generally re-assessed only when a parcel is sold, protecting the owner from unexpectedly high bills just because California's notoriously volatile housing market is experiencing a price bubble. The arrangement also protects older homeowners on limited incomes from having to face big annual tax increases.
But critics say that some of the rules - including the assessment scheme for commercial properties and a requirement that no new taxes can pass without a two-thirds majority - put an undue burden on the state's budget, which depends heavily for revenue on income and sales taxes subject to business cycle gyrations.
The resolution Democrats passed at their state convention in Sacramento on Sunday was designed to complement a bill before a state assembly committee on Monday. That bill aims to close what some Democrats see as a loophole that allows commercial property to change hands without being reassessed for taxes if a new owner doesn't gain more than 50 percent of ownership.
However, the measure received only an informational hearing, to be revived - or not - later in the legislative session. Williams said several bills chipping away at Proposition 13 would not be heard this year.
Aaron McLear, spokesman for Californians to Stop Higher Property Taxes, said Proposition 13 supporters should stay vigilant.
"The Democratic Party is very influential and very effective in California, and we don't take it lightly that the supermajority has officially endorsed undoing Prop 13," he said. "That's a serious threat."
Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political analyst and fellow at the USC Price School of Public Policy, said elected Democratic leaders will be hesitant to unwind parts of Proposition 13 for a number of practical political reasons, even though many Democrats have complained about it for years.
Not only is Proposition 13 enormously popular, Democrats have been trying to position themselves as being friendlier to business, and increasing taxes on commercial properties would not support that image. Moreover, taking on Proposition 13 could hurt when legislators seek campaign contributions, she said.

Updated 3:31 p.m. - Freshman Rep. Allen West (R-FL) claimed at a town hall meeting that about 80 members of Congress are communists, a remark which has drawn quick fire from opponents.
"I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the democratic party that are members of the communist party," West told supporters at a town hall meeting in Jensen Beach, FL. He was responding to a question by a participant who asked, "what percentage of the American legislature do you think are card carrying Marxists?"
Doug Murray / Reuters
Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., claimed at a town hall meeting that about 80 members of Congress are communists, a remark which has drawn quick fire from opponents.
Asked to respond to the comments, West spokeswoman Angela Marvin told NBC News that the Congressman was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
"The Congressman was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus," Marvin said in a written statement. "The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies."
"The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself," Marvin continued, "These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom."
West's office also referred to a post on the website for the Communist Party USA where it says they made a mistake by turning "away from our allies in Congress, the Progressive Caucus, and John Conyers" during their fight for a single-payer system being included in Obama's health care law.
Libro DellaPiana, who is one of the vice chairs of the Communist Party USA, called West's statements "ridiculous" and "a cheap shot."
"There are no members of Congress in the Communist party," DellaPiana said, "We support public parks and I assume Congressmen West does too, that doesn't mean he's a Communist."
Allen West has been thrust into the spotlight after a number of notable Republicans listed him as a possible running-mate for Mitt Romney in the general election. Of those who have called for West to be considered is Sarah Palin, Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), and Herman Cain.
This isn't the first time West has criticized a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In January of last year, West criticized Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Rep Keith Ellison (D-MN) as "someone that really does represent the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established" because he is a practicing Muslim.

causing a momentary leanness. The accelerator pump is
used to provide the fuel necessary for smooth operation
during this time.
Some models use a synthetic "floating" pump cup which
uses no vapor vent ball. The up and down movement of the
"floating" cup on the pump head either "seats" to provide
a solid charge of fuel on the down-stroke or "unseats" on
the up-stroke to allow fuel to flow by the cup and fill the
pump well. The cup remains unseated when there is no
pump plunger movement to vent vapors in the pump well.
Fuel for acceleration is supplied by a double spring
loaded pump plunger operated by a pump shaft and lever
assembly, in the air horn, connected directly to the throttle
lever by a pump rod. The top and bottom springs combine
to move the plunger so that a smooth sustained charge of
fuel is delivered for acceleration.
Some applications use a pump cup expander (Garter)
spring to maintain constant pump cup to pump wall
contact. This feature may be included in the original
equipment carburetor or may be added in field replacement (known as a Heavy Duty pump) on some applications.
,When the pump plunger moves upward as happens
during throttle closing, fuel enters the slotted pump well,
flows by the check ball in the plunger head and also around
the side of the pump plunger and into the bottom of the
pump well.
On some model 2-bore carburetors, a fuel inlet check
ball and channel is used in the bottom of the pump well. In
this type unit, fuel is drawn from the channel through an
inlet screen in the bottom of the float bowl.
When the throttle valves are opened, the connecting
linkage forces the pump plunger downward in the well. The
downward motion of the plunger seats the check ball in the
plunger head. Fuel is forced through the pump discharge
passage where it unseats the pump discharge check ball and
passes on through the passage to the pump jets in the
cluster where it sprays into the venturi area.
The check ball in the pump plunger head (see inset) also
serves as a vapor vent from the pump well. When the pump
plunger is not in operation, the check ball drops off its seat
and vents any vapors which may form in the bottom of the
pump well into the float bowl area. Without this vapor vent
check ball, vapor pressure in the pump well might force fuel
from the pump system into the engine manifold causing
hard starting and pump slugging conditions under extreme
heat. The vapor vent check ball in the pump plunger head
also allows any vapors in the bottom of the pump well to
escape so that a solid stream of fuel may be maintained
from the pump plunger at all times.
The conventional Model 2GC choke system may have
the choke housing assembly mounted on the air horn or throttle body. On units with the housing on the throttle
body, an intermediate choke rod adjustment is necessary.
The principles of operation are the same on both units.
The pump discharge check ball is used in the pump
discharge passage to prevent air from being drawn into the
passage during upward movement of the pump plunger to
prevent a momentary delay in delivery of fuel.
The choke system consists of a thermostatic coil assembly, choke piston, offset choke valve and fast idle cam
and linkage. Its operation is controlled by a combination of
intake manifold vacuum, the offset choke valve, and
When the engine is cold, the thermostatic coil is calibrated to hold the choke valve closed. As the engine is started, air velocity against the offset choke valve causes it
to open slightly against the torque of the thermostatic coil.
In addition, intake manifold vacuum is applied to the choke
piston through a passage which also tends to open the
choke valve. The choke valve assumes a position where the
torque of the thermostatic coil is balanced against vacuum
pull on the choke piston and air velocity against the offset
choke valve. This is when the choke piston is in the vacuum
break position (See inset). This results in a regulated air
flow into the carburetor which provides the richer mixture needed during the warm-up period.

Max Capacity Training: How Unconventional Workouts Can Turn Minutes Into Muscles...
This book is about getting the most out of your workouts in the least amount of time possible. This is all about optimization: how to cut 80% of training time and still boost peak performance and endurance. The focus is on optimization of time and space for maximum results. These are all bodyweight exercises only that require no equipment.
We're looking for a kick ass book cover for this project. That thing will be sold at all major retailers and on the iPad, Nook and Kindle. If we use the winning design, we'll give you credit for your work on the inside of the book if you wish.
The people who will get the most out of this book are early 20s to late 40's guys who want to get in shape in an efficient manner.
The essentials:
You need to show the book title, the tagline and the author name:
title: Max Capacity Training
tagline: How Unconventional Workouts Can Turn Minutes Into Muscles
author: Samy Peyret
The idea:
The book cover should illustrate "turn minutes into muscles". You are free to do what you want as long as it illustrates the concept well.
Make sure you have something that represents "time" and something that represents "strength".
We're looking for something a little more subtle than a big guy looking at a watch...
Example: Picture an hourglass, as the sand falls it builds a sandscultpure of a musclar torso at the bottom of the glass. (you can use this concept if you'd like it)
Overall Style:
The book cover should look clean without too much noise/distractions. A solid color background is preferred. Please see examples attached:
If you are going for an illustration, we also like the style of this label
This is for a standard 6 x 9 book. Please allow 0.125 for bleed. Attached is a sample template to help you get started. Note that you only need to do the front cover, but you're welcome to add the spine and back if you want.

Do girls feel more pressure to have sex? Would a kid lie about being molested by a teacher? John Stossel examines these questions and more in his book, "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel -- Why Everything You Know Is Wrong." Read about four different sex myths in this excerpt from his book, below.
MYTH: Girls feel the most pressure to have sex.
TRUTH: Boys say it isn't so.
It's an image we've all grown up with: The boys are aggressors and girls are reluctant prey. If it was ever that way, it isn't today.
Now it's boys, more than girls, who feel pushed into having sex. My colleague Deborah Roberts recently interviewed several high school students from New Jersey who confirmed a surprising survey from the Kaiser Foundation: 33 percent of teen boys feel pressure to have sex, compared to only 23 percent of girls.
HIGH SCHOOL BOY: Like, guys who were experienced with having sex, they'd be, like, going to younger kids, like, "Well, I have sex like, all of the time."
DEBORAH ROBERTS: So, does that make you feel the pressure to have sex, because you don't want to own up to not having done it?
HIGH SCHOOL BOY: [It] gets me nervous like, knowing that I'm at this age and I haven't -- done it yet. And, like, everyone else has so, like, maybe, like, I feel like I should be doing it.
2ND HIGH SCHOOL BOY: When you're with somebody, there's a lot of pressure from your friends. Like, all right now you're with her, how long is it going to take you? What are you waiting for?
Boys aren't necessarily the unabashed sexual predators we'd always assumed. Often, when they pressure girls, it's only because they feel pressure themselves.
MYTH: Talking to your kids about sex will make them want to have sex.
TRUTH: They're already thinking about it.
I understand why people hesitate to talk to teens about sex. It's logical to think that if we parents bring it up, our kids will think, "Oh, I guess it's time for us to do it."
Yet there's a lot the kids should know. Not talking about sex leaves room for so much ignorance. Years ago, there was so little sex talk that even adults were ignorant. That's actually why we now have products like Kellogg's Corn Flakes and graham crackers. People thought spicy foods would lead kids to have sex -- Dr. Justin Richardson, author of "Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid They'd Ask," explained that those bland foods were designed to avoid "inflaming the sexual appetite." Today we know more about sex, and parents are told, "Don't wait for the kids to ask, you bring it up." I spoke to Dr. Richardson.
STOSSEL: Couldn't bringing up the subject backfire? If you tell a twelveyear- old kid about sex, they're going to want to go have sex.
DR. JUSTIN RICHARDSON: That's the myth and it's a really common fear. But the research says the answer is no.
STOSSEL: And how can that be? I mean I would think the twelve-year-old, the fourteen-year-old says, "Gee, if everybody is talking about it, I should check this stuff out." He might have never thought about it before then.
DR. JUSTIN RICHARDSON: You may not be going there as a parent. But believe me, their friends are going there! And the media is going there. They're hearing about sex. What you want to do is lend your voice to the chorus. It's important to make sure that somebody is talking to your kid about sex other than their best buddy or a character on a television show.
Twenty-eight studies of school sex education programs, regardless of whether they teach abstinence or condoms, found no suggestion that early sex discussions lead to earlier experimentation. Nine studies concluded it made the kids wait longer to have sex. Of course sex ed isn't the same as parents ed (there are no controlled studies on parents talking to children), but every expert we asked said: Talk to your kids.
Susan's daughter, Emily, was twelve when Susan decided to have The Talk.
SUSAN: I said, the best time to do this is in the car.
EMILY: She locked the doors, wouldn't let me get out. [Emily was so uncomfortable, she wouldn't look at her mother.] I looked at my feet, the floor, out the window. Anywhere else but at my mom.
But she said the talk itself was comforting, and her mother was glad she did it. "I think it relieved some of the things that were going on in her head about the other kids in school. And I think it gave her what she needed."
MYTH: "My teacher molested me." Kids wouldn't make up stuff like that!
TRUTH: Yes, they would.
This trendy media scare sent people to jail. Many were innocent of any crime, but they were convicted by the court of public opinion. The witnesses against them were children who testified to horrible events -- events which, in many cases, never happened. But when the media express gets rolling, people get run over.
One victim was Kelly Michaels, a New Jersey preschool teacher convicted in 1988 of molesting twenty children in bizarre and sadistic ways. She spent five years in prison before an appeals court ruled that prosecutors had planted suggestions in the minds of the children who testified against her.
I don't blame the kids; I blame the prosecutors and the media. Reporters' imaginations and keyboards were fired up in 1983 by accusations of sodomy and satanic abuse at a California day-care center called the McMartin Preschool. The woman who started the barrage of charges was later discovered to be a paranoid schizophrenic. Her claims of devil-worship and sadism were outlandish on their face, but never mind: It was "good copy." Headlines blared, prosecutors roared, and seven people were charged in a total of 135 criminal counts.
It was nonsense. But the defendants had their lives ruined. The case against them was cooked up by therapists and social workers who planted suggestions in the minds of impressionable children, who then told horrendous tales to prosecutors. The prosecutors also listened to the drumbeats of the media, which stirred a different witches' brew for every news cycle.
Kids are highly impressionable. We know that, but psychology professor Stephen Ceci proved it in a study at Cornell University. He told me, "We are now discovering that if you put kids who were not abused through the same kind of highly leading, repetitive interview, some of those children will disclose events that seem credible but, in fact, are not borne out in actuality."
Ceci set up an experiment where he and his researchers asked kids silly questions like:
RESEARCHER: Have you ever had your finger caught in a mousetrap and had to go to the hospital?
GIRL: No.
RESEARCHER: No? At first, the kids say no. Then, once a week for the next ten weeks, the researchers ask the question again.
RESEARCHER: You went to the hospital because your finger got caught in a mousetrap?
BOY: And it --
RESEARCHER: Did that happen?
BOY: Uh-huh.
By week four or six or ten, about half of the kids say, "Yes, it happened." Many give such precise information that you'd think it must have happened.
RESEARCHER: Did it hurt?
BOY: Yeah.
RESEARCHER: Yeah? Who took you to the hospital?
BOY: My daddy, my mommy, my brother.
RESEARCHER: Where in your house is the mousetrap?
BOY: It's down in the basement.
RESEARCHER: What is it next to in the basement?
BOY: It's next to the firewood.
By the time I met that boy, weeks after the experiment was over, he still "remembered" convincing details about things that never happened.
STOSSEL: Was there a time when you got your finger caught in a mousetrap and had to go to the hospital?
BOY: Uh-huh.
STOSSEL: Who went with you to the hospital?
BOY: My mom and my dad and my brother Colin, but not the baby. He was in my mom's tummy.
What he told me was even more remarkable because just a few days before, his father discussed the experiment with him, explained that it was just a test, and that the mousetrap event never happened. The boy agreed—it was just in his imagination.
But when he talked to me, the boy denied the conversation with his father, and insisted the mousetrap story was true.
STOSSEL: Did your father tell you something about the mousetrap finger story?
BOY: No.
STOSSEL: Is it true? Did it really happen?
BOY: It wasn't a story. It really happened.
STOSSEL: This really happened? You really got your finger caught? This really happened?
BOY: Yeah.
Why would the boy lie to me? I said to Professor Ceci that I assumed he wasn't intentionally making up the story. Ceci said, "I think they've come to believe it. It is part of their belief system."
Some molestation "experts" thought they'd come closer to the truth by giving kids anatomically correct dolls. With dolls, the social workers wouldn't have to ask so many questions. They could just say, "Imagine you are the doll; what did the teacher touch?" Lawyers argued that kids "wouldn't make up" what had been done to the doll. But Ceci's colleague Dr. Maggie Bruck conducted tests that showed that they would.
Bruck had a pediatrician add some extra steps to his routine physical examination. He measured the child's wrists with a ribbon, he put a little label on the child's stomach, and he tickled the child's foot with a stick. Never did the doctor go anywhere near the child's private parts. Then, a few days after the exam, using an anatomically correct doll, Bruck and the child's father asked leading questions about the doctor's exam. We caught it on tape.
FATHER: So what did he do?
GIRL: He put a stick in my vagina.
FATHER: He put a stick in your vagina?
GIRL: Yeah.
[Then the girl claimed the doctor hammered the stick into her vagina. And she said the doctor examined her rectum.]
DR. BRUCK: He was where?
GIRL: In my hiney.
None of it was true. But when dolls were used, half the kids who'd never had their private parts touched claimed the doctor touched them. The tests made Dr. Bruck question her prior faith in the testimony of children. She told me she thinks dozens of innocent people are in jail.
Dr. Ceci told me their leading questions were mild compared to what the investigators asked: "What we do . . . doesn't come close, for example, to what was done in the Kelly Michaels case."
The appellate court decision that set Kelly Michaels free garnered just a smidgeon of the media attention her trial and conviction got. After she was freed, she told me about her nightmare.
MS. MICHAELS: One day you're getting ready for work and making coffee, minding your business, trying to get along as best you can, being a reasonable, decent, honorable citizen, and the next minute you are an accused child molester with the most bizarre -- I'd never even heard of such things even being done.
STOSSEL: They say you inserted objects, including Lego blocks, forks, spoons, serrated knives into their anuses, vaginas, penises --
MS. MICHAELS: And a sword. It was in there.
STOSSEL: -- and a sword --
MS. MICHAELS: Yeah.
STOSSEL: -- that you made children drink your urine, that you made kids take their clothes off and licked peanut butter off them. It's very hard to believe, yet the jury believed it and not you.
MS. MICHAELS: No one was willing to doubt a child.
The media certainly wasn't. Professional skepticism took a holiday in the face of "good copy."
The media like bad news, and tend to believe it.
MYTH: Teens need their parents less.
TRUTH: Teens need parents just as much.
Many parents pull away when their teenage kids grow quiet, or moody, and act like they don't need us. The moodiness comes as a shock because when they were preteens, the kids were so attached to us. Now they often act as if they don't care if we're alive or dead. Part of us understands that this is a necessary breaking away, a separation from parents that has to happen during adolescence for the teen to become an independent adult. But it is hard to watch. I liked how Dr. Foster framed it. He said, "Why put it in terms of rebellion? Why not put it in terms of a transition from listening to you, the parent, to listening to himself, as the adult?"
It's no longer enough for us to tell them the stove is hot; now they have to touch it themselves. I grew up in the 1960s, when we rebelled in all kinds of ways that bugged our parents. In the '50s, there was rock and roll. Now teens may dye their hair, pierce their tongues. It's the rite of passage, the need to try out new personalities, and become a separate person. If it appalls parents, so much the better -- because that reassures the teen that he is achieving a degree of independence.
But teens do need rules, and they need us, reminded the experts. Some of us parents feel that, by the time our kids are teens, we no longer have any influence, because the only people teens will really listen to are their peers. But that's not true.
Every psychologist we consulted told us teenagers may act as if they don't like our questions, but they do hear them, and they would be sad if we stopped asking. "You have an enormous amount of influence," Dr. Foster told me. "Deep down, your kid is feeling unloved and scared."
Interviewing teens, I was surprised at how often I heard that.
FIRST MALE TEEN: I've always been so scared of, you know, what am I going to do with my life?
SECOND MALE TEEN: I really wish I was, like, a lot closer with my dad especially, because he, like, gets home from work at, like, five or six o'clock and then he goes into his room and watches basketball and football or whatever season it is.
FIRST MALE TEEN: You know, sometimes I wish that they would be more strict, like, you know, set a little more rules. I know I'm going to regret [saying it on TV].
STOSSEL: Why would you want them to be more strict? That would take away your freedom.
FIRST MALE TEEN: Because if they're more strict, then, like, they participate more in my life.
Teenagers may not show it, but they do want our interest and want us to set limits. It makes them feel safe and loved. Research actually shows the current teen generation feels unusually close to their parents. I thought their heroes were rock stars, professional athletes, and friends, but the researchers said, "No, go ask them and you'll see." So I did.
STOSSEL: Who would you say are the people in your lives that are the most important to you?
FIRST MALE TEEN: My parents.
SECOND MALE TEEN: Mostly my father.
THIRD MALE TEEN: Both my parents. So it went. We are still very important to them.
But they are hard to talk to. To maintain communication, the therapists advised, don't lecture. Instead, said Mira Kirshenbaum, "Ask questions. Listen, listen, listen!"
"If you ask your kid questions about how she felt and why she did it and what it meant," said Dr. Foster, "she's going to feel that you are a safe person to tell things to. Then you can say, 'Can I tell you how I feel?' You've earned the right now to talk about how you feel because she's opened up first," he explained. "That's how parents who really do have influence with their kids get influence, by listening to their teenagers talk first."
Only after you listen should you say what you would do. The teens may not act like they hear it, but the experts say it will make a difference later. After all, surveys show most young adults eventually do adopt their parents' values.
For many parents, what worries them most during the teen years is the sexual experimentation. By the end of high school, about half the teens in America say they've had sex. It's always tough for parents to talk to kids about sex, especially when the kids roll their eyes and act like they don't want to talk to you about anything. But they do.

Mobile & Wireless Slideshow: Microsoft Windows 8, WP8: 10 Fast Facts for CIOs
By Don Reisinger | Posted 06-26-2012
Microsoft is on a tear lately with its announcements surrounding its mobile operating system, Windows Phone 8 (WP8), and its new OS Windows 8. The company recently showed off Surface, a tablet that will run on two versions of Windows 8 -- Windows RT and Windows 8 Pro -- and could very well become the most worrisome competitor to Apple's iPad the slate space has seen so far. On the WP8 side, Microsoft blew away developers and enterprise users with a host of improvements to its platform that are designed to give Apple's iOS a fair run. Its inclusion of the Windows RT kernel -- which will make remote device management a possibility in the Windows Phone ecosystem -- the new WP8 OS looks to be a nice addition to the enterprise mobile space. Here are 10 things you need to know about Windows 8 and its mobile cousin, WP8.

In a previous post, the hunt for the roots, I showed how to develop the formula for the second degree polynomial. In this post I want to develop the formulas for the third and forth degree. Unfortunately this means that this whole post will be algebra and nothing else. This formulas were originally developed in the 16 century - you can read more about this in the post linked above.
A little warning - in this post I don't solve numerical examples, so I use letters to denote numbers that would be known in a numerical example, but I freely move them around. This means that if in one line I wrote bx, in the next line I will also write bx even if I should write (b+4)x instead, and the same with the sign of b. To use the formulas you will need to follow the simplification process, and then to aplly the final formula to the result.
Lets start. The idea is to get the general formula for the equation of the form:
Lets suppose that x=u-v (this step is called uglification):
Now to the forth degree. We need to solve an equation of the form:
The first step is to use the same method I used in solving the third degree polynomial, to reduce the problem to:
Now, if only the left side was a square.... Well, it is again time for uglification. Lets look on:
Now, when this will be a perfect square? The answer is simple. We need the discriminant to be equal zero. This means that:
We can now take the root and get the simple equation:

Indiana continues roll, routing Memphis 95-79 to remain NBA's only unbeaten team
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
INDIANAPOLIS – Eight straight wins isn't enough for the perfect Pacers.
They have far bigger plans.
The NBA's last unbeaten team remained undaunted Monday night, getting 23 points from Paul George and the first triple double of Lance Stephenson's career to run past Memphis 95-79 and complete a brutal five-game in seven-day stretch with a sweep. Indiana extended its franchise-best start to 8-0, becoming the seventh team to achieve the feat since 2000.
"Everything we're shooting for is attainable, but we've got a long way to go, a lot of work to do," coach Frank Vogel said. "It was probably our most complete game."
The Pacers made no secret of this season's plan — dethroning two-time defending NBA champion Miami. The best way to do that, they figured, was earning the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and so far, nobody has been able to touch Indiana. The Pacers already have a 3½-game lead over Miami and Atlanta in the East.
Indiana is showing no sign of slowing down, either.
Rather than look fatigued after back-to-back wins last Tuesday and Wednesday and two more back-to-back wins Friday and Saturday, something Vogel said he had never been part of previously, the Pacers appeared to get stronger Monday.
They again dominated the glass, outrebounding Memphis 30-15 in the first half and finishing with a 45-32 advantage. They again relied on suffocating defense, which held Memphis (3-4) to a season-low point total and nearly 20 points below its season scoring average (98.5). And again they were content to share the honors.
George scored seven of his game-high points total during a key 9-3 stretch to close out the third quarter. That gave Indiana a 72-55 lead.
Stephenson, who is playing the best basketball of his career, finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds, a career-high 12 assists and only one turnover. Roy Hibbert added five more blocks to his league-leading total (35), George Hill finished with 13 points in his third game back from a hip injury and Luis Scola added 12 points off the bench.
Indiana could be making things even tougher for opponents soon, too. Vogel said before the game that former All-Star Danny Granger, who once led the Pacers in scoring for five straight seasons, will begin working out Tuesday and could return to practice as soon as Wednesday. Vogel did not say when Granger would return to the rotation. Granger has not played this season because of a strained left calf.
For now, though, fans seem content with the way things are going. During the final minutes, they even serenaded Pacers players with chants of "un-de-feat-ed."
But the Pacers aren't content with that.
"We are not looking at this 8-0 start," said George, the NBA's Most Improved Player last season. "We want to enjoy it, but we must let our strengths continue to lead us to victory. Everybody helps, everybody is doing their job."
For Memphis, it was a rough night.
Marc Gasol , who showed his frustration at times during the second half, finished with 15 points and six rebounds. The only other Memphis players to reach double-figures were two guys with Hoosier State ties — Zach Randolph had 12 and Mike Conley added 11. The Grizzlies shot just 41.3 percent from the field and were only 6 of 19 from 3-point range, and after a 15-3 run put Memphis in an 80-55 deficit just 83 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies never had a chance.
"They're the best defensive team in this league, they really compress the paint, it was hard for any of us guards to get in there and make anything happen," Conley said. "They've got a lot of length, they've got great guards that play great 'D' and they made us take contested shots."
Indiana didn't leave anything in doubt Monday.
The Pacers jumped to a 13-8 lead in the opening minutes, scored the final six points of the first quarter to make it 23-16 and then methodically pulled away in the second. Though Memphis closed to 46-39 at halftime, the Pacers opened the second half on a 7-2 run to rebuild a 12-point lead and put it away with the spurt spurred by George and Stephenson that eventually made it 80-55.
"Everybody's on the same page, everybody's playing together and everybody's playing smart," Stephenson said. "When we play like that, no one can stop us."
Indiana now gets a three-day break before playing another back-to-back — hosting Milwaukee on Friday and visiting Chicago on Saturday.
Notes: Indiana led at halftime for only the second time this season. ... Memphis continued its trend, winning all of its even-numbered games and losing all of its odd-numbered games. ... The Pacers have won the last three in this series and are now 14-3 all-time against the Grizzlies in Indy. ... Grizzlies forward Quincy Poindexter left the game in the second quarter with a fractured nose and did not return.

If I'm rewatching an episode or series, I usually speed through parts. It also depends on the series.

To each his own. It is true that there is simply too much stuff that comes out and for some, like myself, it's impossible to keep up with even the drop in the bucket, much less everything that comes out every season . So I don't. I am an exceptionally slow watcher of all filmed things that I choose to watch, and particularly of anime. I watch every opening and ending, even if they stay the same throughout the series, every next episode preview, every filler or flashback, and most special features if I'm watching something on DVD. And I rewind if I couldn't read the subtitles fast enough and take in the art simultaneously. It's an obsession borne out of a love of film and fantasy. I love doing this, but I can't say it's a "better" method because obviously I will be exposed to far fewer things than what I otherwise would have loved to watch.
For the OP, I think it sounds like you've found out a way to sift through what's out there and decide how you want to allocate your time and attention since like you said, many plots can follow a similar outline...in any medium, really. I'm curious. When you re-watch something you really like, do you slow down then for the details? And are you ever tempted to watch a series that is over 13 episodes long, because there are so many great ones that are longer? I just realized that most of the ones I've seen are longer than 13 episodes. And I was thinking the other day, if I would just watch the shorter ones every once in a while then I wouldn't be so behind and out of touch all the time!
You don't have to watch EVERYTHING, just watch what you think is good for that season.
quality over quantity, I'd much rather have a discussion with someone who has seen 1 or 2 series than someone who skips around saying he or she has seen 20 all of which are skipped through.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Why the hell would you skip through it?? You say you go through 4-6 series a day but really your not even watching half of it...
okay newbies "aside from the ancient on crunchy roll" this is what you call marathon watching and it's what I used to do all the time from 04-09 until legal streaming really kicked off. Personally I would torrent an entire series with really low encodes so around 1.4 gigs for a full series and marathon entire 2-3 12-24 episode series in 2 day time and repeat a day later. You are not in the wrong for wanting to do this "aside from torrents which is illegal people".
Personally I'm back to this method due to the amount of mediocre anime being made now "summer 2012 i'm looking at you dammit". If something fails to grab your interest to watch week to week, then try this method and you might enjoy the series in the end. I personally plan on doing this for hyouka and swords arts online but this is just me.
Living life one day at a time
If I have to speed watch, chances are I dislike the series.
For biiiiig shows like Naruto or Bleach which is riddled with filler and backstory, sometimes I find myself skipping if it's something I've already seen (in flashback), or out of the main story arc that has no relevance to anything that's happening... i.e. Bleach's random one episode of "Let's go to the Beach!" half way through a huge epic battle.
Anyway... sometimes I find I end up watching like 12 hours of anime per day... LOL
I've never speed watched anime before ._. I didn't even know people did that. The closest I've gotten to that is trying to find a specific scene in an anime I've already watched. But skip parts of a brand new series? Nah, I'd rather just drop/hold the show.

aside from my post.. I did for bleach by skipping over 100 episodes from 130-230 when cr picked it up and still knew what was going on =__=. Aizen=bad guy, espadas are evil etc. I'm actually happy I did this so I didn't torture myself with 100 episodes of unnecessary crap
Living life one day at a time
Depends on the show. I usually skip a few seconds especially if it's a recap.
Seems like you need a quick fix. I don't understand the point in skipping through countless anime, each one I enjoy is special for certain reasons.
i guess i understand skipping filler arcs from bleach or naruto or animes like that but why even bother watching a regualer 12-25 ep series if your just gonna skip around? just read a synopsis of it.
Fabulous max!
Sorry, but I don't understand. If you cover a 12-26 episode series in 2 or 3 hours, you're essentially telling everyone that at least half of the series (or in your case, almost every series) is "boring" to you. And, if you find that much of an anime boring, there's probably something more worthwhile you could be doing with your time. How do you feel about skipping half of a movie? Skipping to the "good parts" of a song? Or would you open a novel to a random page and start reading from there? It really doesn't make much sense to me... o.O
Your Lie in April is simply phenomenal. One of the best anime I've ever seen.
All i skip is OP and ending. New serie. I watch both once ..
Oh and i noticed by skipping ending and go to next episode can be confusing sometimes. Since some anime. after the ending the story continues..
Huh, I was about to jump to the OP's defense about skipping. I only skip fillers, and sometimes a few minutes of the show if I read the manga or I'm bored. But you shouldn't skip new shows you're watching. How the heck will you know what's going on?
Watch Cruel City! An amazing drama! :)
sometimes skip fillers if I know it is all unnecessary to the story but I never speed watch. Only thing I fast forward is the opening intro and credits.

LeBron James is available. Marc Gasol, too.
That's two All-NBA first team members from last season still on the market, in case anybody thinks all the best players are gone.
Of course, nobody really believes either is leaving his current club, so teams will have to look at lesser names as they continue filling out their rosters in free agency.
LaMarcus Aldridge came off the board Saturday when he committed to San Antonio, highlighting the holiday weekend fireworks. DeAndre Jordan had already decided on Dallas, placing two of this year's biggest prizes deep in the heart of Texas.
The dizzying days after the market opened last Wednesday morning were so busy that it...

Latin America is scaling up its international production biz.
Shifting perceptions, new film commissions, tax incentives, robust local productions and keen government support have been driving more foreign location shoots to the region. High-profile pics — Bill Condon's "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1," "Elysium" by Neill Blomkamp, Neil Burger's "Limitless" starring Bradley Cooper, M. Night Shyamalan's Will Smith-toplined "After Earth," 1940s-set dramedy "Little Boy" — have filmed there in the past two years.
And security is not the concern it once was. "Most countries in the region are now pretty safe. Economies are booming. Some places have rebates, nearly all (have) local industries, which avoids flying in all your equipment," says producer Juan Gordon of Spain's Morena Films, which shot nine movies in Latin America, including Steven Soderbergh's "Che."
"Producers and screenwriters are rediscovering Latin America," says Rio Film commissioner Steve Solot. Ironically, an animated film, the upbeat "Rio," "woke up many people to Rio shoots' potential."
Mexico, Brazil and Argentina lead Latin America in infrastructure and seasoned local crew. But upstarts — including Colombia and the Dominican Republic — have sweetened their allure with incentive programs and lower pay scales. Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, is among the most aggressive, offering a 40% transferable film and TV tax credit, expanded last year to commercials, soundtracks and music videos.
Panama is also getting competitive, having just passed a film law that offers a 15% cash rebate to international pics, among other provisions, and its financial and banking setup "allows convenient cash flow," says Mexican producer Matthias Ehrenberg, who produced the first Colombian-Panamanian co-production, 2009's "Chance."
Argentina is studying rebates for national/international shoots.
"Now that the sustainability of North American fiscal incentives are in question, Latin America's growth environment is an exciting time for everyone," says Jasbinder Singh Mann, chairman-CEO of the U.S./Dominican Republic-based Indomina Group.
The Dominican Republic (DR) recently introduced a tax credit of up to 25% for features and TV shows. DR will become even more attractive once the Pinewood Indomina Studios, partnering London's Pinewood Studios and Indomina, opens its massive beachfront water tank later this year and its north lot in 2013.
"There's an average of seven water-based studio films made per year," says Singh Mann who's already in talks with some majors.
Meanwhile, Indomina is backing crew-training workshops in preparation for the facility's launch. "We're projecting an average of 12 to 15 film shoots a year in DR, 60% foreign, 40% local," says film commissioner Ellis Perez.
DR stood in for Ecuador in the first foreign pic to avail itself of its tax credit, "The Truth," with Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria. "We especially got good value for the film's military battles, with great cooperation from the local army," says pic's Canadian producer Bill Marks.
Fox Intl. Productions (FIP) has been co-producing or distributing Latin American pics since 2006, starting in Brazil. Last year, FIP co-produced Gerardo Naranjo's "Miss Bala" with Canana Films, plus its first Colombian co-production, Andi Baiz's "The Hidden Face."
Advantages to producing local films include the possibility of remaking them for other markets and finding new directors, says FIP prexy Sanford Panitch. "We wouldn't have discovered Naranjo otherwise." Naranjo is now helming his first English-lingo pic, "The Mountain Between Us," for Fox.
The issue of security, especially in Mexico, does crop up. "You just have to be more aware of your environs, like on any location shoot," says Canana producer Pablo Cruz whose Diego Luna-helmed biopic "Chavez" rolled in Sonora in April.
"It all comes down to using your common sense, there's always an element of risk in any location," says seasoned Mexican producer/line producer Ricardo Del Rio.
Per Eduardo Carrillo, CEO of Mexico City-based Latin American insurance company LCI Corp., in five years only one shoot, "Guerreros de corazon," was temporarily suspended — for one day — because of cartel violence.
According to IFG's Michael Levine, Latin America does not set off a red light when considered as a location. However, "for any place where there's a sense of danger, we require a separate hostage insurance policy and an approved security plan before providing a completion bond," he says. IFG bonded "Love in the Time of Cholera" in Cartagena, Colombia, and, most recently, "Get the Gringo."
Other concerns remain. Since 2008, inflation has hiked Argentine production costs at least 50%, says Rizoma's Hernan Musaluppi. And since 2002, Brazil's real has appreciated 54% against the dollar.
Also, the country's bountiful tax breaks don't extend to non-Brazilian productions. International movies only qualify as co-productions if they include local creative elements, not just spend in Brazil, says Conspiracao's Leonardo M. Barros.
But Latin America's economic surge is telling. "Some Latin American producers and investors are willing to make equity investments in films without their qualifying for subsidies," says Matias Mosteirin of Argentina's K&S Films.
"I used to be enthusiastic about shooting in Latin America," says Gordon. "Now, I'm even more so."
Many foreign Latin American specialists would share that sentiment.

Environmental own goals: Overfishing
In a single human lifetime we have inflicted a crisis on the oceans greater than anything we've ever done to the rainforests.
And the coup-de-grace of it all is that we are getting less food from the sea. We're landing smaller, younger fish. We're wiping out entire fish populations.
And so our industrialized fleets are now taking fish away from poorer African coastlines (hey – we've already fished out our own shores, so lets do it somewhere else as well). And when the fish stocks go, so do the jobs. Just take the example of the cod collapse in the Grand Banks in Canada: 40,000 people suddenly without work.
Is this smart? Is this clever? Nope. But it is really a spectacular own goal.

Bad Dads 2012: Wes Anderson-Inspired Art
Three of my favorite holidays, back-to-back: Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and now, Bad Dads 2012, the annual exhibit of Wes Anderson-inspired art. It's the most wonderful time of the year!
1. Rhys Cooper, who made my beloved "Vulpes Vulpes" last year, has nailed it again with "Margot Helen Tenenbaum" and — oh, no, it sold out before I had a chance to finish this post — "I'm A Raven". The colors in both are absolutely fantastic.
2. Blaine Fontana's original painting "Klaus' Legacy" would be perfect for my dear friend Leah, who secretly believes that all creatures should be striped. So precious!
3. I could never own Nate Duval's "Jaguar Shark" because it would terrify me day and night: it glows in the dark! But even a scaredy-cat like me must admit that is tremendously cool.
4. How sweet would Jessica Deahl's "The Old Chickchaw Harvest Migration Trail" be in a kid's room? Again, Wes Anderson seems to inspire the best color combinations.
5. Oh my goodness, this one is out-of-control amazing: Angela Casserly created "Fantastic Mr. Fox's Hunting Lodge", a 16"x21" sculpture. It's $1,450 and I need it.
6.– 8. The last three pieces — "Herman", "Walt", and "Raleigh" — are all by Oliver Barrett. I'd like to imagine that Bill Murray will star in a Wes Anderson once a year for the rest of eternity, and Oliver Barrett will create a print for each one, and the world will be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, "Steve" is already sold out..
Bad Dads 2012 is on view at Spoke Art in San Francisco until November 24th.

Williams, Knights net big win over Bristol CC
The CCRI Knights men's basketball team hosted the Bees of Bristol Community College from Fall River, Mass. on Tuesday evening for a Region XXI non-league game. The Knights defeated the Bees 94-69. With the victory, the Knights improved to 17-10 overall and 10-2 in Region XXI play.
The Knights started out fast and kept up that pace throughout the first half, going up by 12 points with the score 20-8 with 12:09 remaining in the half. CCRI increased that lead to 17 points, 38-21 with 5:30 to go and ended the half ahead 47-29.
The second half started much like the first as the Knights increased the lead to 22 points, 60-38 after only five minutes of play. They never looked back from that point, coasting to the win.
The Knights used a balanced scoring attack with 11 players getting into the scoring column and four players scoring in double-figures. Leading the charge was captain Desmond Williams (Torrington, Conn.) with 24 points, four rebounds and three assists, followed by captain Isaac Medeiros (Johnston), who had 16 points and game-high eight rebounds. Also playing very well was Jerome Harris (Hartford, Conn.), scoring 12 points on three three-pointers with seven rebounds and Captain Bryan Yarce (Cranston), who added 10 points, a game-high eight assists and three steals.
"This was a nice, solid performance by the team tonight," CCRI head coach Rick Harris said. "We played intensely on defense and used that to create easy scoring opportunities. We also shared the ball, as evidenced by our 21 assists. The team is really getting what they've been taught all year – playing as a cohesive unit with our talent is going to make us a very tough team to beat.
The Knights will travel to Franklin, Mass. to play Region XXI rival Dean College this Thursday at 6 p.m. in pivotal Region XXI league game. The Lady Knights will face Dean afterwards, at 8 p.m., as part of their annual "Think Pink" breast cancer awareness night.
Lady Knights win 20th of season over Massasoit
The No. 15 CCRI Lady Knights basketball team hosted the Warriors of Massasoit Community College from Brockton, Mass. on Thursday evening. The Lady Knights defeated the Warriors 101-53. With the victory, the Lady Knights improved to 20-3 on the season and 5-0 in Region XXI play.
The Lady Knights began a little sluggishly but clicked into gear about halfway through the first half. Even with the slow start, CCRI took a 20-point lead into halftime up 45-25.
In the second half, the Lady Knights played better and increased their lead before pulling away. In addition, Lady Knights' captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, N.Y.) became the No. 2 scorer on the CCRI all-time scoring list. Smith passed Denise Scott (912) and Claudia DeFaria (916) and now has 918 points for her career total. Smith needs just 39 points to pass Amanda Ward with 956 to become CCRI's all-time leading scorer.
Smith led the Lady Knights with 21 points, seven assists and seven steals, while Lexi Barros (New Bedford, Mass.) added 20 points, including three three-pointers with seven steals. Also helping CCRI was Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, N.J.), scoring 14 points. Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, Conn.) had 17 points, four rebounds, five assists and two steals and Moe Plummer (Fairfield, Conn.) added 10 points and three steals.
"I thought we came out a little sluggishly," CCRI head coach Kate Lynch said. "We made some mental mistakes and turned the ball over too much in the opening minutes. We started picking up the intensity with a few minutes left in the first half. Once we got going, we improved on both ends of the floor."

So I heard back from Todd. I shared his first message to me last Monday. You can find that exchange HERE!
Name: Todd
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Location: Oregon
I took your advice and found a local club of like-minded people. I went to one of their mixers. I met so many amazing people. Among them was this woman who is about 16 years older than me. She's a mistress and a Dom for women only. She was kind enough to take me under her wing. She's married to this guy who also attends these mixers, but is not really part of the scene. This woman has been so amazing teaching me and letting me sit in on her sessions. Her submissives have also been amazing and so patient with me as I find my footing.
So this leads me to my problem. I've only dominated with her 3 times. Each time it gets easier and more comfortable and I love it. And strange as it sounds, now this mistress has invited me to dominate her. And I understand that this is a huge honor for a seasoned Dom to invite a novice to dominate her. The one thing that tears me is her husband. She also has a child. So I need to know what the etiquette is what the boundaries are on this. I can't hardly go up to the husband and say, "hey, is it ok for me to spank your wife." I guess I feel a little taboo about that.
My friend, you are bringing your traditional middle-class vanilla value system to this new alternative and very un-vanilla situation that you now find yourself in. This conventional value system and its accompanying boundaries may serve you well in your "regular" life, but here in this new life, they are outmoded and cumbersome.
That is not to say that in the kink world anything goes. On the contrary, it's just that the value system here is way different and thus so will the etiquette be. Here's a rule of thumb that you can live by. When someone, particularly someone of exceptional stature in alt culture, like this dominant woman, invites you to participate with her in a scene; she is letting you know that these are the boundaries. You'll rarely go wrong if you allow your more seasoned partner to lead you, even if you are going to be the Dom in an upcoming scene.
Regarding her husband, he's not the one who authorizes or prohibits the encounter. It is the woman who is in charge. I mean it's conceivable that he could be a cuckold for his wife. Much stranger things have happened, don't cha know. And if you don't know about the cuckold fetish that so many men groove on, then you have even more remedial study ahead of you.
I do appreciate that you continue to check in with me about your adventure. I am so proud of you for being humble enough to submit to a woman's tutelage. That marks you as an exceptional fellow indeed. Keep it up and keep me posted.
Finally I want to encourage you to check out my podcast series called Sex EDGE-U-cation. This is the series where we take a look at the fascinating world of fetish sex and kink. In fact, you might invite your new Dom woman friend to listen in with you. I chat with amazing guests from around the world, and each of them offers a unique perspective on live on the edge. Of particular interest will be my conversations with these marvelous professional Doms: Mistress Katherine, Mistress Matisse, Lady Lydia, Lady HotchKiss, Claire Adams, Eve Minax, and Cleo Dubois.
Good luck
