Election wrap-up
November 10, 2012
One of the big news stories of the past week that kind of got buried by that other stuff came from pretty close to home. Deer hunters in Provo Canyon, not too far below Deer Creek, reported seeing a frightening hairy monster lurking in the woods. They approached and took a short video before the hideous thing moved and they ran away.
Initial reports were that they had spotted a Democrat. But upon thorough investigation, authorities determined it was a sasquatch. Everybody knows that Democrats in Utah are imaginary.
So here we are, cleaning up the campaign signs and trying to figure out where we go from here. Each side in the presidential race spent nearly a billion dollars on the election. Their messages were strangely similar: The other guy is an ass. They certainly convinced me.
There was little real discussion of policy. Romney kept his tax-reform plan a secret right to the end. We will never know. Obama persisted with his position that raising taxes on the richest Americans will solve everything. While I think it's the right thing to do, it isn't even a good start at dealing with the fact that our finances and expectations are unsustainable. Major and unpleasant changes are needed.
Despite Obama's decisive electoral win (and not-so-decisive total vote count), nothing really changed. The House is still held by a Republican majority with a Tea Party tinge to it. The Senate is still theoretically Democrat, but mired in that netherworld where everything can be filibustered, so nothing will get done. Obama has four years, no more and no less. Without a reelection possibility, he no longer needs to be nice to Congress, which has never been nice to him.
The first real test is the "fiscal cliff." This was the deal that congressmen imposed on themselves in an effort to make them do their job. The deal is that the Bush-era tax cuts will expire on December 31. At the same time, a package of arbitrary spending cuts will kick in. Most economists agree that the combined effect will be another deep recession. These are automatic unless Congress and the president can agree on something different before the end of the year.

It's a little bit like setting a time bomb in your basement that will blow the house to smithereens unless you vacuum on Saturday. Then, just for dramatic effect, Congress cut the cord off the vacuum and went on vacation. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Will the lame-duck Congress find some MacGyver solution or does it blow? Let's see, in the last four years they couldn't agree on anything. So now, in the toxic glow of this radioactive election season, we're going to assume there will be a Kum-Bah-Ya moment and they strike the "grand bargain" that puts us on the path to reform. Right.
The war was AWOL in the election. Both Romney and Obama seemed committed to exiting Afghanistan at the end of 2014. Two more years. There was no discussion about what we will accomplish in that time. What will be different as a result of spending two more years there, as opposed to leaving yesterday. Soldiers are dying every day. It would have been polite to at least explain what for, or what we will accomplish in another two years that makes that sacrifice necessary.
The state and local races seemed a little disconnected from reality. It's a sure bet that part of managing the federal budget problems will be shutting off the spigot of federal money flowing to the states and localities. I never did understand what part of the Constitution makes it a federal responsibility to build apartments for Park City's bus drivers, or pay a big share of the cost to operate a free bus system to shuttle wealthy vacationers from their hotels to the slopes. But when those funds go away, the city and county will have to make them up or slash services. We had candidates on the "tax = bad" bandwagon pull significant votes. Maybe, while we are stuck in a snowdrift waiting for the private sector to clear the snow from I-80, we can all take the time to re-read "Atlas Shrugged." Nobody wants to hear it, but we are eventually going to have to pay for what we get. Taxes are going up.
There was no satisfaction in this election. It was all smoke and noise, and when the dust settles, nothing will have changed.
This begins my 27th year in this corner of your paper. Other jobs and even other careers have come and gone over the years. Thanks for indulging me with a little of your time each week. It's been great fun for me.

Archers, abilities, beliefs, etc...
Pritchard and Whitcomb argue that KSA is mistaken and that the ability condition on knowledge does not give Greco and Sosa the anti-luck condition they need. Whitcomb offers an example that I think helps us see why KSA is mistaken:
Weights: Hoodlums at the shooting range put weights in most of the arrows' tips. Champion archers shoot, and due to the weights they miss. Audrey gets to shoot, and by luck she gets the one quiver of unweighted arrows. Through skills that almost always bring target-hits, she makes those hits. Her shots are successful and, moreover, they are successful through virtue.
He says that this case is a case of practical success from ability and that it is analogous to Harman's newspaper case. (Pritchard thinks that the case described earlier in which the targets are protected by force fields is analogous to the Ginet-Goldman fake barn case. ) Assuming that this is a case of practical success that manifests the agent's abilities (which seems quite intuitive), we can state the Pritchard-Whitcomb argument against KSA as follows:
1. Weights and Fake Barns are analogous in all relevant respects.
2. Weights is a case of success from ability.
3. (Therefore) Fake Barns is a case of success from ability.
4. Fake Barns is not a case of knowledge.
5. (Therefore) Fake Barns is a case of success from ability without knowledge.
Because they defend KSA, Greco and Sosa have to reject (5) and reject one of the argument's premises. Greco rejects (1). Sosa rejects (4). Let's focus on Greco's response.
Greco's strategy for responding to the Pritchard-Whitcomb argument is to say that the practical and epistemic cases are not analogous. Abilities, cognitive or otherwise, should be understood as dispositions to reliably bring about some result under suitable circumstances. Cognitive abilities are understood as dispositions to bring about true beliefs in appropriate conditions and environments. Practical abilities can be understood as dispositions to bring about intended ends in appropriate conditions and environments. While Coop might have the ability to identify barns in, say, real barn country, Greco says that he does not have the ability to identify them in fake barn country. As such, judging correctly that the structure he sees is a barn is not success due to ability just as, say, Coop hitting a baseball blindfolded cannot be attributed to his ability to hit baseballs.
As for Audrey's shot, he says this:
The ability to hit a target, like any ability, is defined relative to conditions that are appropriate for that sort of ability. In particular, we do not require that an archer is reliable (relative to an environment) in conditions involving arrow-weighting hoodlums. Accordingly, worlds where meddling hoodlums affect performance are not deemed relevant for determine whether [someone] has the ability in question, even if meddling hoodlums are in [her] actual environment and even … This is similar to Jeter's ability to hit baseballs in Yankee Stadium – it does not matter whether there is some trickster in the stadium who could easily shut off the lights.
It is not clear to me whether our intuitions about the fake barns case is due to the fact that we think Coop does not have the cognitive ability to identify barns in the conditions or environment in which he forms his belief. We can describe the case that way, but it is not obvious to me that we have to in order to elicit the relevant intuition. Perhaps the best way to show that there could be cases of epistemic and practical success from ability that are analogous and that would threaten KSA is to focus on Weights and set the fake barns case aside.
Greco agrees that when Audrey hits the target she intends this is a case of success from ability. While he thinks that the Audrey's shot is not analogous to Coop's belief, I think he would think that if Audrey had beliefs about whether her arrows will hit her intended targets that these beliefs will be analogous to Coop's beliefs. So, let's think about Audrey's beliefs in Weights. In drawing back the string, she thinks to herself that if she aims just like this while pulling the string back just like so that she will hit her mark if she releases the string. If Audrey truly is a skilled archer it might be that she would readjust her shot if she did not believe this.
I want to ask two questions about her means-end belief. Her means-end belief is correct in the case we described. Is it a case of cognitive success from ability? Is it a case of knowledge? To keep things clear, consider three propositions:
6. Audrey's hitting the target is successful through her ability.
7. Audrey's means-end belief is successful through her ability.
8. Audrey's means-end belief constitutes knowledge.
My intuition, which I think Pritchard and Whitcomb share, is that while (6) and (7) are true, (8) is not. So, like the, I think we could use this case to show that KSA is mistaken without having to say that the case is analogous to the fake barns case or the newspaper case. I expect that Greco would agree that (8) is mistaken. Given his commitment to KSA, he has to reject (7). I think he should accept (6). Not only is it intuitive, his objection to the Pritchard-Whitcomb argument was that the cases are not analogous. Since he rejects (1), he should concede that there can be cases of practical success from ability where the agent's actions are guided by belief's that are not an example of cognitive success from ability. Perhaps the four of us can agree that her belief does not constitute knowledge because she easily could have drawn a weighted arrow, in which case her belief would have been mistaken and she would have failed to bring about her intended end in the way she intended. The problem with the position that I think Greco has to defend is that it seems that (6) would only be true if (7) were true.
If Audrey's shot truly is a case of success from ability, there should be no principled objection to saying that she hit her intended target intentionally. Assume she did hit her target intentionally. Let's think about how things have to be for her to hit her intended targets intentionally. If things had gone differently and she had grabbed a weighted arrow, she would have had a false means-end belief. If she had a false means-end belief, one of two things would have happened. She would have missed her mark or she would have hit her mark without hitting it in the way she intended to. Either way, she would have not hit her mark intentionally because she would not have had the necessary control over whether her intended ends would be realized.
While you will not intentionally Φ by Ψ-ing when you intend to Φ by Ψ-ing and believe falsely that you will Φ by Ψ-ing, you do not regain the necessary control simply because you happen to have a true means-end belief. Suppose Audrey grabbed a weighted arrow, fired, and the arrow cut just the path towards the target that she intended. Suppose it did this because the arrows were weighted with iron and a powerful magnet was placed just behind the spot that Audrey intended to hit. She hit what she intended to hit, her means-end belief might well have been true, but she knew nothing about the magnet and she did not intentionally hit her mark.
What does it take to put Audrey back in control if not a true means-end belief? Suppose Audrey needs to get into the safe, believes for no reason whatever that the combination to the safe is 12-34-56, and she unlocks the safe acting on her baseless belief. We would not say that she intentionally punched in the correct combination. Too much luck was involved. We might say that if she has a correct means-end belief that is rationally held we can deal with this case, but there are more cases in the offing that cause trouble for this proposal.
Suppose Audrey had excellent evidence that the combination was 12-34-56. Coop told her that this was the combination on Monday. Unfortunately, Coop was mistaken on Monday when he said this. On Monday, the combination was 12-34-55. The note that he fished from Ben's coat pocket with the combination was smudged. Fearing that Coop discovered the combination to the safe Ben changed the combination moments before Audrey entered his office to 12-34-56. She punched in the correct code believing reasonably and correctly that the code was correct, but it still seems she did not intentionally enter in the correct code. The connection between what she intended to do and what it would take for her to bring about what she intended seems too accidental for us to say that she had the right kind of control to have brought about her intended end intentionally.
What do we need to add so that the agent who acts on a means-end belief brings about her intended end intentionally? Knowledge would do the trick. If Audrey knew that she would hit the target by firing in just the way she did, she would hit her target intentionally. If she knew that by typing in 12-34-56, the safe would open, we could say she intentionally entered in the right combination. If nothing short of knowledge will do the trick, however, Greco's defense of KSA is bound to fail. If nothing short of knowledge would do, we would have to say that (6) is true in Weights only because (8) is. Remember that Greco rejects (7) and (8). Thus, he needs to explain how Audrey hitting the target could be a case of success from ability if the correctness of the means-end beliefs that guided her actions were not themselves a manifestation of her cognitive abilities. I think it cannot be done. When we think that the correctness of the agent's means-end belief is not an instance of cognitive success through ability, we will be disinclined to say that the actions guided by these beliefs will be cases of success from ability. Thus, it seems (6) and (7) stand or fall together.

Hmmm. I'm sympathetic to Greco's response, but I'm having trouble formulating my thoughts about your criticism. I guess I'm not sure Audrey has an ability to judge where her arrow would hit under circumstances like that. She judges successfully because she has an ability to judge where her arrow would hit under normal circumstances, and by luck an inappropriate application of that ability to her present abnormal circumstances happens to work (that is, 8 is false because 7 is false). But I don't feel inclined to make similarly fine distinctions when it comes to the ability to hit the target (so 6 is still true). I suppose I must then think 7 and 6 can't involve the same ability. I don't know if that shows that I'm inconsistent (nor do I know what I should revise if I am), but I have some inclination to think that perhaps knowledge just requires that more fine-grained distinctions among abilities be made, distinctions not appropriate to some other contexts where abilities are relevant.

Hi Aaron,
So, one idea that I've been toying with that might be one you're sympathetic to is that the cognitive abilities that belief must result from in order to guide skilful and intentional action are distinct from the cognitive abilities that you must exercise in acquiring knowledge. We can thus remain agnostic as to whether some version of KSA is right, because the main point is that there's some perfectly good notion of success from ability that (i) falls short of K in environmental luck cases but (ii) must be met if the actions the belief guides are intentional.
For what it's worth, Sosa I think would say that (6)-(8) are correct and so would, I think, be sympathetic to my idea that you can't simply deny (6) if you want to defend (7). My main objection to Sosa's response is that he thinks (8) is true and I don't, but my intuitions about (8) are not terribly firm.
- September 25, 2011 at 4:06 PM
Hi Clayton,
I was interested to learn that Sosa thinks there is knowledge in the fake barn cases. Would you mind telling me where he says this?

Hi Anon,
This is from a footnote on pp. 96 in Sosa's _A Virtue Epistemology: Apt Belief and Reflective Knowledge_ Volume 1:
"Our account does help to bring out, however, how not all Gettier cases are created equal. In some cases, such as Gettier's two actual examples, and such as Lehrer's Nogot/Havit case, the subject does not attain so much as animal knowledge: apt belief, belief that gets it right in a way sufficiently attributable to the exercise of a competence in its proper conditions. However, in other similar cases what the subject lacks is rather reflective knowledge. Our kaleidoscope perceiver, in Lecture 2, is a case in point. The Ginet/Goldman barns example arguably belongs with the kaleidoscope case."

Suso extends Liverpool stay
Liverpool midfielder Suso has signed a new long-term contract, the Barclays Premier League club have confirmed.
The 18-year-old Spaniard, who joined Liverpool from hometown club Cadiz in 2010, committed his future to the Reds when he put pen to paper on the new deal at their training complex at Melwood.
After signing the contract, Suso told Liverpoolfc.com: "I am really happy. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and this is the right place for me."
Suso was given his senior debut for Liverpool in the Europa League win over Young Boys last month after impressing in the youth ranks and the reserve side.
"I am happy Brendan has shown trust in me," Suso said. "I had no questions about signing a new deal and I am really glad to have done so.
"I am comfortable here. I have played some games for the first team and I hope to continue doing that, but I need to work hard every day for that to happen."
Since his debut, the teenager has made four further appearances for the first team, and Reds boss Brendan Rodgers believes he has all of the qualities needed to develop into a top class player at Anfield.
Rodgers said: "We are all delighted Suso has committed his long-term future to Liverpool Football Club.
"At 18, he has demonstrated outstanding technical qualities but also shown very good temperament to play for such a prestigious club.
"His commitment is very good news for all our young Academy players and the excellent work taken place by the Academy coaches and staff."

Uhm...i wonder what that did? (found it in the first area before the Crypt)
Looks fun, unfortunately i'm looking at 2 weeks fulltime work (at least)
I'd be willing to devote time playing multiplayer DEMO during midnight-dawn PST...otherwise i'm screwed for time.

QUERY: i tested out multiplayer via demo (host IP) and i could import a single player character, but there's no saving stats. (so persistence is eliminated)
is this the same with the "zone"? is there persistence to ANY multiplayer action? (otherwise, why bother? looks fun though, but lack of "diabo"-like persistence is key for me.)

If you own it, as the host, if you exit the game you are able to save the game, and your MP character is persisted at whatever level/skills he had at close.
However, my wife and I were actually disappointed by the game and haven't played it jointly since our first session (IN MP mode you can't have NPCs join or add pack mules -- lame) so I don't know about loading the MP game after a save. :sad:

Anything you do with your character in MP is saved. Equipment acquired, money made, levels earned, all save. That includes quest items, but not quests. Fortunately, Utraenean quests are all structured so you can return to them/join them at any point.
i.e. if you play and get the first 6 townstones, then quit your MP game, and then restart a MP game, you can take up with the 7th stone.
It's all persistent, sort of: the only differences (and they're good or bad, depending on your outlook) is that every time you restart a MP game, the monsters respawn. The MP games only save character data, not world data. That's the persistence you're complaining about.
And yet... there's a benefit to that, too. *shrug*
See y'all there, if you want to join me. PM me and I'll see about hosting a Zone game. :smile:

Wellll. What I get for not reading this forum for a while, lol.
I've just started the MP campaign by myself, just to raise my ArchMage's Ranged and Melee skills.
Anyways, somebody create a name for a game we can find and join should it be there. I'm willing.

Ok - when you go to the MP site for Dungeon Siege, the front tab is a lot of text, and buried in that text is information on which ports you need to open to host JG games.
The port range you need to worry about is the one for INCOMING data.
You have to configure the router to direct any incoming connections on the range of ports listed (something like 2400-2500 but I dont' have the exact #'s here) to YOUR computer.
So you need your computer's internal IP. To get that, go to a command window and type "netstat -na" -- the first IP in the first column (the IP repeated the most) will be yours.
Now browse to the linksys router in your browser (http://220.127.116.11 I believe) and log into the admin screens. Go to advanced functions, and one of the tabs is for opening up ports...
Open up the range of ports required by Dungeon Siege, and direct them to your computer's IP.
Viola - should work. :smile:
Good luck!

damned nice fansite. wow. okay, i'll be buying the game tomorrow, especially since i
found out
importing demo characters to retail is a cinch.
Though people advise against playing multiplayer solo because the XP inefficiency means you'd level better in singleplayer (just import)...guess i was going about it "diablo1" style. hehe.
Anyways, on that note, here's a link to a mod that will allow you to set Veteran & Elite without level restrictions.
la la
farsee & MP packmule
hacks available here:
Decent forum is available here:
Link is to a thread on MP. here's a snippet...
Aye, you can level slower, but if melee friend is getting greedy, stop the nice Healing wind and such. If you have a nice friend he will want to level as well. Let him rely upon the health elixirs or his own nature skill.
My situation, 1melee, 1combat, and a nature mage(me). My melee friend got too comfortable with rushing everything and killing it all before us mages really had a chance to start doing anything. We'll I asked that he slow down a bit and when he didn't he got no more heals from me. Funny how they slow down, a lot when they run out of elixirs. Yep, I stayed behind in levels, but the higher levels are where you start to shine. Melee friend kept doing as he was but didn't like it much when my combat mage friend and I returned the favor after 60+. Combat mage+pet+pillar of fire was completely destroying everything and me with my Sun Ray(range 13 fast casting DD spell that doesn't miss)+pet+storm(high damage lighting spell that hits anything in range for dur40 is nice).
Really depends on play style IMO which you'll be best off with. I've a level 65 archer/nature as well and he doesn't kill as fast, but rarely gets in trouble either.
*ramble off*
. k3wl
and OMG! i found a map for the
Utrean Peninsula
campaign. wow.
And for a fascinating lecture on multiclassing and xp sliders...
Though i'm really not sure about easy/normal/hard difficulty affecting XP rewards...it looks like it balances out.
But i AM certain if you play Veteran/Elite mode you'll get more xp, but solo-ing in MP is inefficient. (though, the thing is i'm not sure if one can play a SP game over again with a previous character)

Eeek! dammit - Too late I suppose. Oh well.
Dungeon Siege - I hate it. Played the demo a bit got thougharaly pissed off with it over the course of one weekend.
Despite the lack of 3d gfx, I find Diablo II much more playable. Yes - I play D2X AND prefer it to DS!
Diabli II multiplayer is just SO much more seamless than Dungeon Siege - at least on a LAN - and since playing D2X in hardcore - well ive just lost all respect for how other games handle death. Using "LoadGame" to get past sections of a game is just evil - either the game must handle death in a gracefull recoverable way - or when you die you die dammit! After D2 & D2X I just cant take games with "Load Game" options seriously anymore.

Well, I have to agree with you all, to a point. DS is pretty lame, once you've played a while. I got my main up to L71, but DS's lack is a near-absence of plot. There's just no reason to play. If I want to be with friends... I'll fly my Phoon. :smile:
Seriously, DS AND D2 and other pseudo-3d hackandslash games just don't offer what I'm looking for, I guess. Not that Jumpgate's much better - still a lack of plot and active, evolving events (though more than DS!)
I play tabletop RPGs too, and those lack the visuals, the sense of 'being there' that computer games grant. The sounds and sights can't be recreated by (most) GMs verbally.
Reading books is great too, and more interactive than a movie (your imagination must engage the text or you won't enjoy it) but they lack too because of having a static plot. CYOAs (Choose Your Own Adventure) don't count.
So where does that leave one seeking plot, friends, and an immersive universe?
Bleh. I wonder if NASA is hiring...

just finished the SP game.
why i hated it?
Too few decent gear/spells and the ones you have you either never need to change anything or you're micromanaging.
No ability to hire npcs/donkeys in multiplayer and the linear plot line never really allowed one to call one spot "home" and interact with the locals (you were always going onward for harder trials and better gear)
dull enemies and poor rewards (most times the boss gave crappy items and luck played a part in those. abysmal)
Totally hamstrung wpn/bow/spell/spell selection that screwed the seamlessness of combat (especially the lack of a third spell option - ie. heal/summon/combat)
Only control one summoned creature per caster?!?! (and how much mana does it cost!?)
The "Laura Croft" feel of the visuals...after a while it all seemed to blah. Vistas? sure, but it wasn't anything like seamless. you had vistas then you had silly repetitive battles. they never seemed to combine.
Cutscenes? where? who? what? And the ending of the game was pretty anticlimactic. (you mean i did all this out of the goodness of my heart?!?!)
Lack of special abilities!! yes! that was the key thing that excites me about
(yes i still have it installed on my computer)
I don't even want to mention the spooge factor of NWN...droool!
And talking about multiplayer. what the hell was up with the zonematch stuff? no ping readings? wtf? inability to order the games in anything but alphabetical??!?
omg! and the lack of town portals! aieee!! (not to mention the transmute was a rip off spell)
the soundeffects of the Dragon chaingun was pretty annoying after a while
*sigh* You know what? the game would be great for mods and stuff. really cool stuff, especially if one used the viewhack (haven't yet)
I enjoyed it...especially the squad tactics. Just too bad it cost me a pretty penny, since it has ZERO replay value.
now, an analogy to Diablo2 and this game would be to say the entire game you're doing the jungle run...that damned maze of annoyingly fast little critters and their blowguns.
now imagine a whole month doing that.

Maybe if some good mods come out ill consider buying it.
A Diablo II mod just might rock in the Dungeon siege engine... then again the skill system is probably too intrinsic to the engine for any sort of implementation of the Diablo II classes and skill system to be considered.
I played a borrowed copy of DS long enough to get a single character up to level 30 after deciding that micro managing an entire party was just tedious in the extreme. So I fired the lot and kept my starting combat mage + donkey for loot.
The only reason I played as far as Act IV / level 30 was a perverse belife that surely it was going to get better soon.
After wandering around in a endless seeming swamp that looked pretty but was one dull battle after another I threw in the towel and decided that it was time to figure out MySQL - so im now snapshotting the jossh inventory to a mySQL db. Now i must just figure out something usefull to do with all that data... (4213 rows every 10 minutes adds up quickly)

I figured I owed it to Chris Roberts to play DS just because of all the Wing Commander and Privateer goodness he produced. I agree, the game gets boring fast and multiplayer on the zone was major laggy.
I just want to point out that my faith in PC Gamer is dropping daily. They refuse to acknowledge JG's existance, yet gives a boring game like DS 91%. Money talks and Editors suck.

your best bet is to follow the trails. don't go off the beaten track because it's horribly linear and the treasures are mostly random, so don't expect any cool stuff just cause you found a wicked hidden spot.
the other tip is to specialize. you MUST have a warrior who works on strength (to wear the heavy armour and vitality). You also must have a specialized COMBAT mage, otherwise you'll end up with stupidly low lvl healing clerics.
Also, get your dexterity up because the rings/amulets to boost str/dex are few and far between...you'll want to use the "dragon chaingun" which needs 29 dex (that's later on in the swamps though)
hmmmm...can't think of much more than that, but if you have a powerful computer do try that viewhack cheat. otherwise you'll find the "fog" hampers the enjoyment of the aesthetics.
finally, the only disappointment in the game was the only time i really enjoyed the game was when you get ambushed from all sides...sadly, that aspect of the game is apparent in only one level of the game. (which is a real damned shame...i was actually enjoying the paranoia it developed)

Ok - I only got a single character to level 30 but...
well - i woudn't have made it past level 10 unless I did the following:
Ignore the damn party aspect of the game. Micro-managing party members bites. With any sort of party you get members that get kills and members that dont and the ones that do level faster and the others get left behind level wise and its just a damn struggle.
So i fired the lot of them, and went forth with just my starting character - a pure combat mage. Which did me well until the swamp that just uninspired me.

About Friends With Benefits
Dylan (Justin Timberlake) is done with relationships. Jamie (Mila Kunis) decides to stop buying into the Hollywood clichés of true love. When the two become friends they decide to try something new and take advantage of their mutual attraction - but without any emotional attachment. Physical pleasure without the entanglements. Sounds easy enough for two logical adults, right? Not so much. They soon realize romantic comedy stereotypes might exist for a reason.

LOS ANGELES — Twelve Los Angeles County residents will share $50,000 in reward money for supplying tips in two killings.
Two people provided information about the murder of Melody Ross – who was shot in 2009 after a homecoming football game at Wilson High School in Long Beach – and testified in the trial that followed. Tom Vinson was convicted of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder and attempted involuntary manslaughter. In December, he was sentenced to 155 years to life in prison. Davion Davis pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was given an eight-year sentence in exchange for his testimony.
The two witnesses will split $20,000 evenly.
Ten other witnesses will evenly split $30,000 for supplying tips that helped convict Ryan Moore in the 2006 drive-by shooting death of 10-year-old David Marcial, 22-year-old Larry Marcial and 17-year-old Luis Cervantes in front of their home near Central Avenue and 49 th Street in South Los Angeles.
Moore was convicted of four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to death. Charles Smith was convicted of the same charges and sentenced to life without possibility of parole.
Alicia Merceron pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in exchange for her testimony against Moore and was sentenced to seven years. Charges against a fourth suspect were dropped after a preliminary hearing.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says a "surge in demand" in the final days of Obamacare's open enrollment has prompted officials to offer consumers additional time to finish their applications, provided they've started the process by the March 31 deadline.
Swelling numbers of visitors to the main HealthCare.gov enrollment site are prompting concerns that many consumers won't be able to complete the process in time for the Monday deadline. The agency says there were 845,000 visitors to the site on Thursday and that number has steadily grown each weekday, reaching 1.2 million on Tuesday. On top of that, Obamacare call centers were fielding 196,000 calls on Thursday and that grew to 390,000 on Tuesday.
Details on the grace period — HHS officials say it's not an "extension" — have yet to be ironed out. There is no final cutoff date yet for finishing Affordable Care Act applications; reports only are saying it will be in mid-April. It's also not clear who will be eligible for this grace period.
Further, HHS officials aren't saying how many enrollees have completed the process to date, pointing out that there were 5 million by March 17. Projections from the Congressional Budget Office have called for 6 million enrollees by March 31.
The reason it's not called an extension is that applicants still have to start the process by March 31, or be "in line" to finish their application by that date. But an exact definition of what being "in line" constitutes also is unclear. HHS officials say more details are to come on that issue.
HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters indicated in an email that there's not much more the website can do to accommodate the crush of last-minute applicants. Response time on HealthCare.gov is now less than half a second, down from 8 seconds when it opened in October. The site also can handle more traffic than it did during its first full month being fully operational in December.
"Finally, we've built an advanced queuing system that we're ready to deploy if we see very high demand," Peters said. "This system creates a waiting room where people can hold for a short period of time before being let into the site. The user also has the option to leave an email and be invited back when the system is ready for them."

In a new book former US surf champion Rusty Miller shares photos and stories of people, from the south-west Victorian coast to the New South Wales north coast, during a turning point in Australian surfing.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Rusty Miller, a 69-year old former surf champion and photographer originally from south California, has called Byron Bay home for many years.
On one cold, damp winter Rusty and his wife Tricia began trawling through 40-year-old negatives taken on different parts of the east coast, while compiling the annual Rusty's Byron Bay Guide.
With each colour transparency and black-and-white negative he pulled from the boxes which had been hidden away, memories came flowing back.
After several photographic exhibitions, Rusty started to make contact with many of the faces in his images, with the idea of turning the portraits into a book.
"That was the fun part, getting the people we knew in the photos to write the stories," he says.
Some well known and others not so much, the images capture characters in candid moments of a simpler time that Rusty says marked a 'turning point' in Australian surf culture.
Turning Point: Surf Portraits and Stories From Bells to Byron 1970-1971 features the likes of Bob McTavish, Nat Young, Chris Brock and Gerry Lopez and images from the Bells Beach world surfing championships of that period.
One frame captures a young Wayne Lynch with his dog at Lennox Head, as he fled Vietnam War conscription.
While major surf championships helped drive widespread changes in surfing gear, Rusty says during that period surfers also started questioning the shifting culture.
"It was a time when the boards had sort of gone through the short board revolution, and then the board that actually won this particular event at Bells (1970) was not a super short board and not a super long board, sort of one in the middle, a seven footer ridden by Rolf Aurness, an American.
"It was a time when surfboards were not only changing in their physical appearance, the attitude of surfers were changing."
Recalling living in a Byron Bay farmhouse for $15 a week, Rusty says many surfers were migrating from the Victorian coast to the NSW north coast, in search of an alternative lifestyle.
"Soul surfing came in, people were starting to reject the commercialisation of surfing, can you imagine they thought it was too commercialised then?"
Listen to the audio to hear Rusty and his wife Tricia chat with Liz Ellis on National Summer about his life in the surf and the stories in his book Turning Point: Surf Portraits and Stories From Bells to Byron 1970-1971.

Competitive gamers play to win — it goes without saying, really. The desire to come out on top is what motivates almost every conflict, especially among professional and competitive fighting gamers.
But every time there's a winner, there's a loser. And even the best players can't go forever undefeated. Fighting game site I Play Winner has a surprisingly poignant video, "Redemption," interviewing a number of fighting game players about their greatest losses and mistakes, and how they learned or recovered.
You can watch the emotions chase across the faces of every player interviewed for the video, lighting up as they remember their finest moments and quieting as they describe their losses. But every loss is a lesson, and the most touching moments come from watching the players learn to move past their regrets.
"These things happen," Andry Kane manages with a smile. "The game is brutal. Ruthless. Unforgiving, that's a good word for it." But accepting defeat and learning to move on makes winning all the sweeter down the line.

Design of an Elevator Control Mechanism for Small Airplane
Presupuesto $40-70 USD
Design of an Elevator Control Mechanism for a Small Airplane
You are asked to design a control mechanism for the elevator of a small single engine airplane, shown to scale in Figure 1. For an airplane to gain or to lose altitude in normal operating conditions, it is necessary that the pilot control the pitch motion of the airplane by changing the angle that the elevator in the tail section makes with respect to the horizontal. For this purpose, the pilot must push or pull a stick placed in front of him/her. The control mechanism that you are asked to design will transmit the motion of the stick to the elevator. When the pilot pullsthe stick, the elevator must move up in order for the airplane to pitch up and to gain altitude. When the stick is pushed, the elevator must move downward in order for the airplane to pitch down and to lose altitude. The range of motion of the pilot's arm should preferably be within 180 degrees from the horizontal x-direction for push to -120 degrees for pull (refer to Figure 2). The motion of the stick must cause the elevator to rotate -20 degrees and +20 degrees from the horizontal direction (refer to Figure 2). Note that there are areas of the airplane that are reserved for passengers, fuel tank, etc. which cannot be used for placement of the mechanism. The available space for placing the control mechanism is shown in Figure 2 as the shaded area. The drawing is to scale so that you can measure all the necessary dimensions. All the motion of the designed mechanism must be within this area. You are not allowed to use belts, chains, cables, nor pulleys.

LODI - Lodi Deputy Public Works Director Larry Parlin twisted the tap to the new Surface Water Treatment Plant's 3 million gallon tank and filled a cup full of freshly treated Mokelumne River water on Thursday morning.
LODI - Lodi Deputy Public Works Director Larry Parlin twisted the tap to the new Surface Water Treatment Plant's 3 million gallon tank and filled a cup full of freshly treated Mokelumne River water on Thursday morning.
"Most people won't be able to tell a difference," he said. "But, it's better than well water."
That cup of water that Parlin poured Thursday is among 1 million gallons a day that will be pumped through the $36 million treatment plant and marks the first time the nearby river's water will be sent to the taps of Lodi homes.
The city temporarily turned off its groundwater wells on Tuesday, saving electricity costs on pumping, so that the whole city has been supplied by Mokelumne water this week, city spokesman Jeff Hood said.
Lodi always has used groundwater, but is now buying 6,000 acre feet of Mokelumne River Water each year. That amount of water could supply about a third of the city's need. The city has been paying the Woodbridge Irrigation District roughly $1.2 million a year for the water since 2003. Until now, the purchased water has been banked for Lodi use.
Chief Plant Operator Andrew Richle oversees the daily production at the facility, where a "membrane" filter system sucks the tiniest of particles out of the water, which is also treated with cleansing chemicals.
"We have a 36-inch line that goes up Mills Avenue with four connectors into the system," Richle said.
Parlin said the plant is so efficient and computer-controlled that human error is impossible. "We couldn't put out bad water if we tried to," Parlin said.
The Surface Water Treatment Plant, which took a year to build, has been at the center of some controversy. Mayor JoAnne Mounce had voted against building the plant, saying the city would be better off recharging the groundwater basin at a lower cost.
She was outvoted, however, and as plans for the plant developed, new controversy surrounding how the city would staff the plant emerged.
Councilman Bob Johnson proposed privatizing the plant at a cost savings of up to $1 million a year. The city eventually settled with staffing the plant with seven of its own employees instead of contracting out to the lowest bidder.
Water experts appear to be happy with all the decisions.
"In 30 years, people are going to look back at this and say it was a great decision," Parlin said.
County Water Resources Director Brandon Nakagawa said he is in full support of more surface water being used in San Joaquin County.
"It's probably a good thing. The Mokelumne is a great source of water. It's pristine snow melt and a great source of drinking water," Nakagawa said. "Our view is that it's very well maintained. The agencies up there in connection with the river have all been very good stewards."
Nakagawa added that using surface water gives the city a chance to recharge its groundwater basins.
"Hopefully Lodi isn't the last to pursue surface water," he said. "Lathrop, Manteca, Tracy and Escalon hopefully will be doing similar things."
Lodi's plant is the second major water plant to open in the year. Stockton opened a new $217 million water treatment plant over the summer that pumps water from the Delta to taps in Stockton.

UCLA Anderson Partners with TED to Host Second Annual TED Week
Three-day event will feature live-streaming of TED2013, panel discussions, and more to connect students and faculty with world's top thinkers
LOS ANGELES - Following last year's successful collaboration, UCLA Anderson School of Management is again partnering with TED - the nonprofit that presents the globally acclaimed TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) conferences - to host a series of panels, TEDActive workshops and TED-themed talks on campus from Tuesday, Feb. 26 to Thursday, Feb. 28. The multi-day event drew roughly 900 attendees in its 2012 debut.
TED Week 2013 will offer the UCLA community exclusive access to live-streaming of TED2013 in Long Beach and various opportunities to hear from, and engage in dialogue with, some of the world's most innovative thinkers. Events will be tied to this year's TED2013 theme, "The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered."
"TED fits with the DNA of our students and faculty at UCLA Anderson, where we think in the next," said Judy Olian, Dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management. "We're providing real-time access to TED speakers, and a creative environment that encourages participants to go beyond sharing ideas - taking the ideas and shaping them into realizable solutions."
A series of eight panel discussions will take place throughout the week, where student, alumni and faculty panelists will engage in conversations prompted by the presentations of TED speakers, including: Bono, U2 lead singer and activist; Allison Hunt, owner of HATCH Research Intelligence; Mary Lou Jepsen, founder of Pixel Qi and co-founder of One Laptop per Child; Jinsop Lee, founder and design director of Uncle Oswald Is My Hero; and Leyla Acaroglu, founder and director of Eco Innovators. Anderson panels will be sponsored by student groups, including the Management Consulting Association, Marketing Association, High Tech Business Association, Entertainment Management Association, Design for America and Net Impact.
Monitors throughout UCLA Anderson will live-stream uninterrupted content from TED2013. An idea incubation lounge will serve as the "thought hub" for the week, where students can participate in the discussion through social media and other means.
"It's exciting to continue our partnership with TED and to be able to offer the UCLA community access to one of the most coveted events worldwide," said Jim Stengel, adjunct professor of marketing at UCLA Anderson and former global marketing officer at Procter & Gamble who spoke at TED2012. He will attend this year's event in Long Beach, facilitating live conversations between TED2013 speakers and Anderson attendees.
A "Think in the Next - Design in the Now" ideation workshop on Wednesday evening will give students a chance to tackle one of the TEDActive Projects and use design exploration to develop business solutions. For more information on TEDActive, go to http://conferences.ted.com/TEDActive2013/.
TED Week at UCLA Anderson will close Thursday evening with the "Campfire" reception featuring TED-inspired stories from students and faculty. Last year's speakers included Professors Shlomo Benartzi (discussing behavioral economics) and Bhagwan Chowdhry (outlining his Financial Access at Birth research), Rakesh Sarin (on how happiness can be quantified and measured), and student Stuti Goswamy (sharing insights on the American Dream Act).
This year's TED Week is sponsored by the Center for MEMES (Management of Enterprise in Media, Entertainment, and Sports) at UCLA Anderson, and has expanded to include the participation of UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, and Luskin School of Public Affairs.
"TED Week brings together the brightest minds from all parts of campus to experience some of the brightest minds in the world," said Sanjay Sood, associate professor of marketing at UCLA Anderson and Faculty Director of the Center for MEMES. "It's a unique UCLA Anderson experience that inspires and engages the next generation of leaders to consider how business can make a positive impact in the world in addition to making a profit."

It wasn't the Angry Birds® chirping wildly at last Friday's state tournament opener outside of Reading, it was just a flock of basketball officials tweeting away at the Mount St. Joseph Academy Magic during the first half of a Class AAAA game against hometown favorite Wilson High School.
Three Mount players were slapped with two fouls apiece in short order and the Magic were whistled down 10 times in the first two quarters while there were just three calls against the Lady Bulldogs, but Mount St. Joe still held a 17-15 edge at the intermission. The visitors from Philly picked up fewer of these violations in the second half, and in the initial 11-and-a-half minutes coming out of the intermission they outscored Wilson 20-5, continuing on to win, 43-20.
The fifth seed from District 1 coming into the tourney, the Magic raised their overall record to 25-5 and advanced to a second-round showdown with the top-seeded squad from their own district, Spring-Ford High School. Spring-Ford had handed the Mount its first loss of the season back on January 14 (38-46 on a neutral court), and in Friday's PIAA debut the Rams steamrolled Manheim Township (District 3's seventh seed), 55-24.
As the third seed from District 3, Wilson got to play Friday's contest just 10 minutes from its own campus, in the gym at Governor Mifflin Intermediate School. This facility was unusually capacious for a middle school ball hall, but nevertheless it filled to overflowing with fans for both the girls' game and a boys' bout that followed.
Proximity had no payoff in the end for Wilson. The Bulldogs closed out their season at 26-4, but with only one senior starter, a strong group of sophomores, and a good-sized freshman post player, Wilson has a lot of upside going forward.
Two of those 10th-graders, six-foot forward Carley Brew and guard Avery Marz, play on the same Philadelphia Belles AAU team as MSJ sophomore guard Alex Louin. In the bleachers for the game were three players from Shipley School who are also part of that particular Belles bunch.
Louin led off the scoring with a trey from the left, then senior Cailin Schmeer sank two short jumpers and scored off a rebound as the visitors (geographically and on the scoreboard) went up 9-4 in a little over five minutes. Marz's second field goal of the night for Wilson closed out the quarter at 9-6, then three free throws tied it for the Bulldogs.
Schmeer and sophomore Regan Gallagher converted off of offensive rebounds and Louin drove for a lay-up, but Wilson kept pace with a baseline "J" and four-for-four foulshooting.
Earlier, just 70 seconds into the second period, the Magic were hit with their eighth team foul while there was still just one for Wilson. Schmeer, senior classmate Bridget Higgins, and junior Meg Geatens each had two personals. The refs seemed convinced that girls basketball players are made out of brittle porcelain or delicate crystal, citing individuals for minor incidental contact that would not have drawn a call back in the big city.
However, the last foul of the half was hung on Wilson (its third), and MSJ junior Kelsey Jones bagged both free throws to nudge the Magic ahead, 17-15, going into the break.
Mount coach John Miller remonstrated with the refs, but he knew that ultimately his players would simply have to adjust to the way the game was being called, and he told them as much.
To open the third quarter Schmeer shot a three-pointer and fellow senior Maddie Kohler canned a slightly shorter jumper, then after Brew bagged a Bulldog basket, the Magic delivered another three-two punch courtesy of Higgins and Louin. That stretched the lead to 10 points (27-17) and forced a Wilson time-out with 3:43 left in the period.
Mount St. Joe carried a 29-20 advantage into the fourth quarter, and Wilson already had five team fouls. While many of the Mount's shots from the floor were dropping straight through the hoop, a lot of the Bulldog attempts were making contact with the rim, and it hardly gave the hometown team any friendly bounces at all.
In the fourth frame, the Magic produced a lot of points from the foul line, as well, hitting nine of 10 tosses before missing their final four in the last 90 seconds. Higgins, who netted all of her 11 points for the night in the second half, was perfect in the fourth quarter on a one-and-one and a pair of two-shot fouls.
Wilson did not score in the concluding stanza until Brew fired from the paint with 4:21 on the game clock, making it 37-22. The Mounties had the game well in hand, but with 3:51 to go the victory became a very costly one. Jones, who had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee in January of 2011, appeared to have a recurrence of the same injury, dropping to the floor in a lot of pain.
The Magic finished out the affair in a more somber mood, winning by 13. Schmeer, who'd helped keep the Mount going in the foul-filled first half, ended with five rebounds, four steals, and a game-high 12 points. Higgins, who came on in the second half, had seven rebounds to go with her 11 points, while Louin stayed steady with five points in each half, along with a total of eight rebounds. Geatens gave four points to the cause, and there were two apiece for Jones, Gallagher, and Kohler.
Brew led the Bulldogs with 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Marz finished with six. Wilson's leading scorer this season, lanky senior guard Hilary Yoh, finished with four points.
The Magic had overcome adversity early in the game to post a sound victory. In most circles they'd been favored to beat Wilson, but any state tournament win is an accomplishment to be valued. Just ask Cardinal O'Hara and North Penn High School, well-regarded teams who upset the bracketologists when they fell by the wayside in Friday's first round.

Current Law Students / Re: Single Parent starting Law School« on: March 16, 2006, 04:02:18 PM »
I dont really have much useful info to add to this topic but I know that a few law schools, like Southwestern in Los Angeles, have full programs (as an alternative to FT/PT) that cater to single mothers (class scheduling, time management, peer groups etc). Also, I give you ladies credit for going ahead and pursuing law school in spite of everything else you have to deal with. Bravo!

Implement algorithm in C
Budget $10-30 USD
You need to implement following two functions in C language:
void preserveTopNValues(double* data, size_t size, size_t n);
void fastPreserveTopNValues(double* data, size_t size, size_t n);
Detailed explanation:
Array "data" contains "size" values which may go in any order (i.e. can be both sorted or unsorted)
and may have duplicates.
Both functions must find top "n" unique absolute values in the "data" and preserve them,
and set other elements of array to zero.
Function "preserveTopNValues" must complete the abovementioned task with minimum additional memory usage,
while may do it slower.
Function "fastrPreserveTopNValues" must complete the abovementioned task with maximum speed,
while may use more additional memory.
Other requirements:
1. Functions must be implemented in plain C (not C++ !!!)
2. Code must conform to C99 standard.
3. Code must be formatted according to Linux astyle and well commented.
4. Code must use "camel case" naming of variables and functions.
5. Code must be compilable without errors on Linux with GCC 4.8.2+ with following compiler options set:
-Wall -Wextra -Werror -std=c99
6. Function can use only standard C library, usage of any 3rd party libraries is strictly not allowed.
1. Source code of functions.
2. Sample program (also delivered as source code) that:
- dispays input data
- calls functions
- dispays output data
- proves that output matches to expected result
- proves that both functions give the same output on the same inputs.
3. GNU Make compatible Makefile to build the sample program.
4. Small plain text file called [login to view URL] that shortly explains both algorithms and why they were chosen for the particular variant of implementation (normal/fast).

J.B. Priestley
Personality Number 7
J.B. Priestley was a male celebrity.
He was born on Thursday September 13th 1894, in Bradford, England,.
J.B. Priestley seems mysterious and different. People see him as serious and studious. John is highly independent and self-sufficient. His acceptional intelligence and wisdom are quickly noticed, and people respect him. Priestley is not one to attract people on the basis of his warmth or compassion - though he may be loaded with both - but because of his obvious insight into life's mysteries.
He is hard to get to know, and is often withdrawn. It is common for people to see J.B. Priestley's focus turn inside of himself in the middle of a conversation. John has the makings of an intellectual and an aristocrat but he has to guard against arrogance and an attitude of "I have got it all figured out". There have been periods in J.B. Priestley's life when he had little concern for his clothing or fashion, while at other times he is very aware of his clothing and uses it to make a specific impression. John appears dignified no matter how he dresses, but a well groomed seven with a touch of dash definitely has an advantage. Priestley's confidence increases when he knows he is well dressed.
J.B. Priestley is recognized as spiritual and religious, with his very own ideas regarding the purpose of life and the Creator. He is an inspired speaker, but only when discussing subjects that really interest him. Otherwise, John is not one for chatter. His love of knowledge and wisdom shows.
You and John
About John's Personality number
Priestley's Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what John sends out, as well as what he allows to approach.
It discriminates in the kinds of people and information J.B. Priestley lets enter his heart and mind.
