At 10 minutes to midnight, I put balls 1-10 in the jug, and remove a ball. At 5 minutes to midnight I put balls 11-20 in the jug and remove a ball. At 2.5 minutes to midnight, etc (halving the time between insertions ad infinitum, putting the next 10 balls numerically in the jug each time).
How many balls are in the jug at midnight if:
a) I always remove the lowest numbered ball
b) I always remove the highest numbered ball
c) I remove balls uniformly at random.

I have been ill for a week now. I am recovering from the flu. Luckily most of my sense of smell has returned, but I have not worn any fragrance during this time. It feels weird not to wear perfume because it is like putting on a piece of clothing to complete my outfit; but at the same time, I haven't had much of a desire to put any on. A few times I reached for a fragrance oil rollerball and sniffed it--something with vanilla--but I didn't put it on.
I cannot wait until I feel better;

A vast stretch of white sandy beach decorated with rows of sheltering trees and the magnificent view of the Krakatau volcano on the horizon, that is what awaits at Carita Beach. Situated pleasantly on the shoreline facing the Sunda Straits at the western end of Java Island, in the Pandeglang regency, in the province of Banten , this indulging beach is only a three hours' drive away from the bustling capital city of Jakarta .
Here nature graciously offers some of her best features, from the majestic sunrise beyond the hills of Mount Aseupan Pandeglang all the way to the romantic sunset on the horizon over the sea. The various planktons on the surface of the sea would glitter under the brightest moonlight radiating a beautiful scenery. When the young Anak Krakatau is active, its spewing burning lava offers a fascinating scene unlikely to be easily found elsewhere.
With relatively calm waves, anyone can enjoy swimming safely and conveniently along the beach. For a different sensation mixing swimming and surfing, visitors can try the swim boards rented at many spots along the beach at a very affordable price. The beach is also a perfect place for various funs and exciting water rides such as the Jetski and Banana Boats.
As a tourist destination, Carita Beach has complete supporting facilities that range from an extensive parking lot, restrooms, tourist information center, children playgrounds, shelters, swimming pools, sunbathing area, excellent communication and internet networks, and professional lifeguards to ensure safety and convenience. There are also renting facilities for diving and fishing equipment. For accommodation options, there is a wide range of hotels and inns available nearby.
While the beach offers enough reasons to visit, Carita boasts another attraction which lies in the forest area. Established as a protected forest in 1975, the 95 hectares forest area is a sanctuary to various flora and fauna. Among some of the animal dwellere here are the long-tailed monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), the lutung ape (Tachypitechus auratus), giant lizards (Varanus salvator), Python snakes (Phyton sp), wild boars (Susvitatus), bats, eagles (Falco moluccensis), hawks (Spilornis cheela), and various other bird species. The vegetation found here include teak (Tectona grandis), Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), African Mahogany (Swietenia khaya antoteca), and Bungur (Lagerstromia speciosa).Located not too far from the capital city of Jakarta , offering magnificent sceneries and a wide range of activities fit for every age, and supported with all the necessary facilities, Carita Beach is a perfect vacation spot for the entire family.

Trial flights of 'unmanned' aircraft begin in UK skies
Test flights have begun to see whether unmanned aircraft could someday be of widespread use in British airspace.
The BAE Systems Jetstream, which will be manned during the test phase, could potentially conduct search missions and investigate weather systems.
BAE believes the aircraft is the first of its kind to autonomously "sense and avoid" bad weather and mid-air hazards.
The British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) said "issues" must be resolved to ensure all airspace users are safe.
Unmanned planes or "drones" are already used in the UK for surveillance work.
Electronic eye
During up to 20 test flights over the Irish Sea, a pilot and co-pilot will be responsible for the Jetstream's take-offs and landings.
Also aboard will be three people observing and testing the technology - however, the aircraft will fly as if it were an Uninhabited Air Vehicle (UAV).
The new technology - which is far more advanced than a standard passenger aircraft - has been developed by Astraea, a £60m UK industry-led programme which has been running for about six years.
Astraea are funded in part by the Technology Strategy Board, which is sponsored by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.
BAE says the Astraea system can detect and avoid bad weather systems using an "electronic eye" - a cockpit camera linked to the aircraft's internal computer systems.
The system can recognise cloud types and autonomously plot a course to avoid bad weather.
The electronic eye is also used in conjunction with an aircraft identification antenna to "sense and avoid" mid-air collisions.
Infra-red technology on the underside of the aircraft should also help the Jetstream find a safe place to land in the event of an emergency.
Lambert Dopping-Hepenstal, BAE's engineering director with responsibility for the Astraea programme, said: "The [aircraft] has been configured as a 'surrogate UAV', where the onboard pilots can take their hands off the controls and hand over control to the on-board system developed by the Astraea team.
"Racks of computers and control systems in the rear of the aircraft mean it can fly as if it were [unmanned] without any input from the pilots.
"The weather avoidance system will use sophisticated image processing techniques to detect and avoid clouds and is just one of the new capabilities being tested."
'Eyes and ears'
If trials are successful, BAE has said the aircraft could become the first "surrogate" UAV to fly in "normal" UK shared civilian airspace.
The testing has been cautiously welcomed by Balpa, who say they are not entirely opposed to the development of unmanned flight technology.
Capt Mark Searle, Balpa chairman, said: "The most important safety system that we currently have on board aircraft is the eyes and ears of well-trained pilots.
"Such technology... could offer benefits for manned aircraft operations as well, but there are issues which must be resolved first in order to ensure safety for all airspace users."
Mr Searle added that the biggest hurdle to the use of any unmanned aircraft is the public perception of them.
"The public like to be assured when flying that there are capable, professional, well-trained pilots in command. We can not see this changing any time soon."
Opponents of the growing use of drones are concerned the public are not being consulted on the rapidly advancing technology and the potential changes on the use of UK airspace.
Chris Cole, from the Drone Wars UK website, which follows the use of armed drones, told the BBC: "There is no parliamentary or public consultation in the UK on this and I believe there is a huge amount of public scepticism.
"The defence industry is part of the Astraea project. They are working with defence companies to see what changes need to be made to airspace regulation to ensure these drones fly safety in the UK.
"There is a big difference between remotely controlled surveillance drones and autonomous drone flights. This is a huge step forward and it is happening too quickly."
BAE's Simon Shrouder estimates that pilotless aircraft could be used within three to five years to investigate weather systems or natural disasters, such as volcanic ash clouds.
He added: "UAV flights could soon be used to do the dull, dirty or dangerous work, that will not put pilot's lives at risk."
Mr Shrouder added however, that pilotless passenger flights are still far from becoming reality.
"In years to come, it might be that confidence is so great that there is scope for passengers to be carried on these flights - but that is many, many years off."

Keep an eye out for students from South Lafourche High School who will be out on Halloween night collecting canned foods and other household supplies.
Keep an eye out for students from South Lafourche High School who will be out on Halloween night collecting canned foods and other household supplies.
The annual Cans for Christ Sister Stanislaus Memorial Food Drive is like trick or treating. But instead of collecting candy and wearing costumes, students from 5 to 8 p.m. will be visiting residents' homes throughout south Lafourche seeking donated canned goods to replenish the food bank at the Catholic Community Center in Galliano.
The food drive is named in memory of Sister Stanislaus Langlinais, who ministered at South Lafourche for 34 years before her death in 2010. South Lafourche High School and Sacred Heart Catholic Church organize the drive.
"We'd like folks to have food available that they could give these students to in turn allow us to pass them out to people who are hungry," said Robert Gorman, executive director of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. "The food banks are for everybody. It doesn't matter what religion you are or anything else."
The Catholic Community Center, 1220 Aycock St., is a nonprofit clothing-thrift store and food bank.
Gorman said although his church collects the goods, the credit belongs to the students.
"The students are the ones out there collecting the food and organizing," he said. "So the credit goes to them for doing this."
Ashley Archer, the Sacred Heart Catholic Church youth minister, said last year students picked up at least 3,500 items.
"We think it is very important for the community to help and provide this service," Archer said. "There are families out there trying to make ends meet, and we hope this will help."

Plus tropical forests to hike, biking trails, duty-free shops, and beach and poolside tropical drinks and fruits? A money-saving beach holiday rental on the US Virgin Islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix will deliver you as near as possible to a heavenly island beach paradise.
The southernmost, largest, and least visited of the US Virgin Islands, St. Croix is linked to St. Thomas and St. John by ferries and swift seaplanes. A money-saving St. Croix holiday rental condo, apartment, or villa can include a private pool and bar overlooking the ocean. Bring the whole family to Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, a Christopher Columbus landing site sparkling with coral reefs, mangroves and estuaries. Visit Christiansted National Historical Park, an old Danish waterfront fortress with a Steeple Building and Danish West India & Guinea Company Warehouse.
Walk the streets of downtown Charlotte Amalie, the US Virgin Islands capital located on St. Thomas Island. Tour Fort Skytsborg, the castle tower that the pirate Blackbeard climbed to watch the sea. Take the whole family on a cruise in a catamaran or yacht. Perhaps a day of sailing from St. Thomas to St. John. Swim up close to giant green sea turtles. Snorkel remote beaches. Be dazzled by starfish, sea urchins, and schools of brightly coloured fish darting in and out of coral reefs. Treat your partner to a romantic sunset dinner cruise. Your money-saving St. Thomas holiday rental is also a good base for night and day scuba diving among the sharks and rays frequenting the many easily accessible shipwrecks.
Beach hop along North Shore Road on St John Island. Ferry hop from Cruz Bay to Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas Island. Take the whole family hiking among the native tyre palms, valleys, forests and beaches of Virgin Islands National Park, which occupies 60% of St John's land area. Trunk Bay's white beach and underwater snorkelling trail are not to be missed. The Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail has ruins of old sugarcane plantations that employed slave labor. View ancient Taino petroglyphs carved into the rocks, old sugar mills, and a spring-fed waterfall along the forested Reef Bay trail. Relax at night on the porch or deck of your money-saving St. John holiday villa or rental home. Enjoy the bright starry night sky.

The original PV wire was only 1000V. That is still better than the RHH stuff because there is no UL standard for a 1000V rating for that wire type.
It was only later that PV wire rated at 2000V was introduced. It is larger and costs more. And the test for 2000V rating may not even have been available initially when PV was first introduced for all I know.

Dr. John H. Laub, Director
One of my priorities this past year has been to strengthen the science mission of NIJ. We have manifested this in several ways:
View the full organizational chart or read a text description.
One new step I am taking is a restructuring of the Institute to support strengthening our science mission. Here are the highlights of the plan, which went into effect September 12 when I held an all-staff meeting to present the plan and engage in a question-and-answer session.
Deputy Director. The person in this position will oversee all three NIJ science offices: the Office of Investigative and Forensic Sciences, the Office of Science and Technology, and the Office of Research and Evaluation. The new Deputy Director, who will be a career employee from the Senior Executive Service, will have a strong scientific background with a doctoral degree in a justice-related field and strong research credentials. In my view, this move will help to institutionalize science at NIJ, regardless of who sits in the Director's chair. We hope to advertise for this position and hire someone soon.
Office of Research Partnerships. This new office will initiate, manage and coordinate criminal justice research partnerships with agencies and organizations within and outside the Department of Justice. It was evident to me early on that partnerships were a key part of furthering our science mission. Although there has been a long history of partnerships at NIJ, I believe a new office is needed to build relationships, leverage and share resources, and expand NIJ's network into traditional criminal justice areas as well as new areas of inquiry. NIJ will hire a Director for this office who will report to Deputy Director Kristina Rose who will also oversee the Office of Operations and the Office of Communications.
Office of Research and Evaluation. Before coming to NIJ, I taught a wide array of courses in criminology and criminal justice. Once I arrived here, I was found that the divisions within ORE were not as strong as they could be conceptually. The new organization of ORE will have two divisions:
Some of you will notice that NIJ's International Center is no longer a separate entity in the new organization. I have integrated the international topics into the Office of Research Partnerships.
I believe that restructuring of NIJ will lead to a stronger Institute that is grounded in science and more accurately reflects the excellent work that we do here. I hope it also helps us solidify the effort to institutionalize science at NIJ.
Back to: The NIJ Director's Corner.
National Institute of Justice, 810 Seventh Street, NW, Washington, DC 20531

As a follow up to my last post ("U.S. government operations can be incredibly complex"), I wanted to provide a chart of the new U.S. health care system. Healthcare represents 17% of the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, Obamacare was passed with no one having actually read the bill.
Obamacare is modeled on Romneycare, the system in place in Massachusetts since 2006. In the several years since Romneycare has gone into effect, healthcare costs have soared far beyond the national average. Massachusetts now has the highest health insurance costs, the highest medical costs, the fastest rising costs and the longest waits for doctors in the nation.
Complexity itself is a major problem in organizational function. The chart below does not bode well for the nation as a whole. A larger version of the chart can be accessed here.

Back to Nature Camping - Great Barrier Island
The Barrier is a remote destination – there's no electricity grid and most roads are unsealed. More than 60% of the island is administered by DoC.
In my opinion, DoC campgrounds offer the best back to nature camping experiences available in the country, with a mix of wonderful coastal and forest sites.
No-where is this evidenced more than on Great Barrier Island (or the Barrier as it's known to locals). Here DoC manages 6 amazing campgrounds, all beachfront and located right next to areas of conservation importance.
I'd been told about how unique they were and had wanted to visit them for some time. So, this year, I decided our next trip would be to the Barrier to discover them.
Getting there is half the fun
Flying to Okiwi Airport on Great Barrier Island is an experience all in itself.
There are few destinations you can fly from Auckland Airport on a plane as small as this – bench seats just wide enough for 2 people with ear muffs handed to all passengers before take off (they're mandatory to drown out the incessant drone and whine of the engines perched over your shoulder).
Even the slightest rising and falling of the craft will set your stomach aflutter. So it was much to my companion's relief that we flew on a beautiful sunny day without so much as a peep of turbulence.
With the clear skies and calm conditions, we were able to relax during the 30 minute flight and enjoy the spectacular views right across Auckland, the Hauraki Gulf and, as our destination neared, the remote and rugged Great Barrier Island.
As the plane circled the island and turned to make her final descent into Okiwi, we saw the first of the Barrier's stunning beachfront conservation campgrounds – Whangapoua.
From the air, Whangapoua beach beckoned us with rolling surf and pristine golden sand, and even though we arrived in the height of Summer, only a handful of people could be seen taking advantage of the waves.
Once our feet touched the hard earth again at Okiwi Airport (actually a short grass strip with a shelter at one end), we were met with an overwhelming sense of stillness. After the continuous scream of the plane engines it was a huge relief. Even the sounds of arguing siblings who had accompanied us on our flight were lost to the expanse of nature.
The thing that dawned on us immediately was just how isolated Okiwi Airport is from the rest of the island. Word of advice – make sure you book a transfer before arriving on the island, otherwise you'll find yourself following in our footsteps.
That first night, we had planned to stay at the Akapoua Campground near the island's second largest centre, Port Fitzroy, a 12 km walk from the Okiwi Airport. Just as well we had come prepared for walking; our packs and boots were meant for the upcoming days, but came in useful a day earlier than planned.
With only 300 residents in Port Fitzroy, we spotted just 2 cars the entire walk (both just before we arrived at Akapoua), so hitching wasn't really an option even if we'd been interested.
Arriving at Akapoua mid-afternoon, hot and thirsty from our unexpected walk, we were delighted to find a beautiful campsite right next to the water. Two pohutakawa trees sheltered the spot and the resident Kaka population (an endangered New Zealand native bird) provided much entertainment while we set-up camp.
While we prepared the evening meal, a family arrived and pitched their tent some distance from us. A solo tramper then arrived and, obviously weary from a days walking, crawled inside his tent as soon as it was erected and slept. With so few people around, we really felt at one with nature.
And so it was for the duration of our stay. Even though we intended moving on to a different campground each day, we enjoyed to peace, tranquility and birdlife of Akapoua so much we chose to use it as our base for our entire visit.
After two days walking the many tracks around the Barrier, we decided to hire a car in order to visit the other campgrounds easily. We managed to visit all six and spend several hours at each site appreciating the unique reasons to try each one.
Here's our view on each campground and what makes each one special. If you're looking for a truly back-to-nature experience in New Zealand, the Barrier takes some beating.
Whangapoua Campsite
If you're flying into Okiwi, this campsite will greet you from the air. Whangapoua Campground is the small strip of green, right on the coastline.
Whangapoua is a favourite with surfers and kayakers alike – both a surf beach and flat estuary are within each reach.
If you're interested in exploring the north east tracks and beaches, this campground is a good choice.
Harataonga Campsite
This beach and surrounding area was the site of the 2007 BBC Castaway series.
Harataonga is best known as a safe, sheltered surf beach, popular with young family's right through the summer period. There are plenty of walks including an interesting coastal track that includes Maori sacred sites.
It's an easy drive from both Okiwi and the island's other airport, Claris.
Awana Campsite
Awana is most popular with surfers and is a popular place for youth groups to welcome in the New Year. The beach produces some of the best surf on the island and the campground is within easy reach of the beach, protected by a headland that shelters the campers from the wind and sea.
The sand dunes are home to several species of endangered birds and are closely monitored by the Department of Conservation during the breeding season.
Medlands Campsite
Another popular campground with families, Medlands is located a short stroll from a safe southern swimming beach.
The beach is easy to access, also making it a favourite with local boaties and fishermen.
DoC work closely in this area with another bird population – the endangered Pateke (or Brown Teal). Like many of New Zealand's natives, the Pateke is nocturnal, so if you want to spot one, you'll need to visit the area in the evening or early morning.
The Green Campsite
Conveniently located on the West Coast near the Whangaparapara Harbour and at the entrance to several good walking tracks, The Green is used mostly by trampers and boaties wanting to spend a night on shore.
This campsite is tucked away on the far shore of the harbour making it impossible for casual visitors to disturb the peace.
A lovely campground for couples and solo travelers to enjoy a peaceful night.
Akapoua Campsite
Port Fitzroy on the West Coast is used by passing boaties for refueling and restocking supplies as well providing a gorgeous sheltered harbour to spend the night.
Akapoua is an easy 10 minute walk from the Pitzroy whalf and general store.
This campground is most frequently used by those wanting to spend a night or two ashore as well as trampers climbing Mt Hirakimata, the islands highest peak and a wonderful day walk through the centre of the island.
Unlike the surf beaches on the East coast, the ocean on the West coast is calm, making this a great spot for kayaking and swimming.
Given its close proximity to the island's most dense forest, this campground is also a great place to encounter a wide range of New Zealand native birds, including the highly intelligent and noisy Kaka.
The DoC visitor centre is located at the entrance to Akapoua which is useful if you want to talk with DoC staff and find out a bit more about the conservation projects they are currently working on around the island.
Getting There
The Barrier is a remote destination – while there are five general stores on the Barrier, it's advisable to bring as much of your own food, water and fuel as possible as supplies are expensive.
Great Barrier Island can be reached by air or sea. Several daily flights are run by Mountain Air and Great Barrier Airlines from Auckland Airport. Ferries are less frequent with a highly variable daily timetable.
Access to the island becomes more difficult during the winter months due to weather conditions and lower visitor demand creating cancellations of transport services.
Although the island is great for campers and hikers, there are also several operators offering Bed and Breakfast style accommodation, airport transfers, personalised tours around the island, self-drive car rental (international drivers licence required) as well as several good quality cafes and restaurants.
Campsite fees are the same at all Great Barrier island campgrounds - $9 per night for adults and $4.50 per child.
All campgrounds have tank water, toilers and showers but no cooking facilities are available and fires are banned in the summer months.
NZ Camp Site can provide you with camping and hiking gear for your journey once you arrive in Auckland. Visit www.nzcampsite.co.nz for more information, email email@example.com or check out the deals listed on this site.

Cast: John Cleese (Archie Leach), Jamie Lee Curtis (Wanda), Kevin Kline (Otto), Michael Palin (Ken), Tom Georgeson (George)
Director: Charles Crichton (he directed many television series before this, his first feature film in many years)
Plot: Without giving anything away, the film is about jewel thieves and the double and triple-crossing that they engage in. There are Americans and British thieves, and the interaction between the cultures is both subtle and hilarious. The plot is fast-moving and incredibly funny, with strong characters and great cinematic pacing.
Why you should watch it: The film is sometimes perceived as a continuation of the Monty Python film endeavors, as it stars two of the Pythons. However this is not the case. The film is mainly a labor of John Cleese. He actually co-directed the movie, but chose not to be credited. Regardless of how you feel about Cleese, Palin, or any other Pythons, this film is a must-see if you like to laugh.
The cast is outstanding for A Fish Called Wanda. Curtis is good, but not great. If there is a weak point to the casting, I'm afraid she's it. The rest of the cast is impeccably chosen. Kevin Kline, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, is incredible as an anglophobic pseudo-intellectual ("Don't call me stupid"). Michael Palin is great as Ken, a man who loves animals more than humans, and who suffers from an incredible stutter. The remaining cast, from the criminal George to Cleese's onscreen wife and daughter, are great compliments to the ensemble.
The plot is plausible, centering around a jewel heist. However nothing goes smoothly and there are multiple funny spins and accidents throughout the film. The constant torture of Palin's Ken is a great thread running the length of the movie. Cleese's torturous feelings about his desire for Wanda and his uber-British indifference towards everything else provides a wonderful cinematic dichotomy. However, in my opinion the glue that holds this film together is the interaction between the three lead characters.
Wanda, Archie and Otto represent three distinctly different characters with three distinctly different end-games. Wanda wants the jewels. Archie wants Wanda. Otto wants Wanda and the jewels. The interplay between these three is outstanding, and the on-screen chemistry couldn't be better. Archie's stoicism, Wanda's drive, and Otto's paranoia provide an endless supply of comedic electricity. I can watch this film over and over, and still laugh at what I know is coming. To me, that's the hallmark of a great and quirky comedy.
The trailer gives a hint of what to expect:
Academy Award Nominations: Three - Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Writing; Won: Best Supporting Actor - Kevin Kline

openfooty Ethos
Youtube - video API
AOL - truveo API
Open Calais - semantic toolkit
Google - too much to list!
Historically, in order to build anything football related on the web, developers required oodles of time, luck, and above all, money. None of these pre-requisites are conducive to encouraging the emergence of innovative and compelling ideas.
openfooty breaks down these barriers and finally opens up a world of rich, up-to-date football data, putting it firmly at the developers fingertips - where it ought to be.
Why is openfooty so important?
Notorious gatekeepers of everything football, the beautiful game has long been the domain of the not so beautiful mega-rich corporations that surround it... they tell us what we want, when we want it, and how it should be consumed. This is the epitome of a closed system.
Opening the floodgates
The openfooty project endeavours to take a different approach. Rather than being the curators of tired old concepts, we aim to nurture the development of imaginative thinking, ideas, and creative solutions to problems that are yet to be realised. It is these ideas and solutions that the average football fan has been deprived of, and the average developer forced to leave confined to their imagination.
openfooty is leading the way in enabling developers and entrepreneurs who, like us, are excited - not intimidated - by the internet and the new ways it is allowing us to consume, gather and disseminate our passion for football.
There is no doubt in our minds that we speak for football fans everywhere when we say, we cannot wait to see these brilliant ideas come to life.
Is the API free for everyone?
The API is free for non-commercial use.
If you are a commercial user, a monthly fee will be charged.
I am a Commercial User. What is the application process?
Simply register for an API key, and let us know a bit more about your business and your intended API usage.
Please ensure you provide a valid telephone number on the application form so that we may get in touch with you to discuss your requirements further.
How can openfooty help the growth of my football business?
openfooty has partnerships with many leading companies that are embracing innovation and change in technology, and reaping the benefits that go hand in hand with the provision of open and adaptive solutions for their products and services.
One example of such a partnership is our integration of award winning football journalism from The Guardian. Utilising The Guardian Open Platform, openfooty developers are granted access to a range of Guardian content, from the latest news media, photos and podcasts, to match reports and minute-by-minute text commentary.
Presenting your content to a ready-made, eager to consume audience makes good business sense. Not only is it a fantastic opportunity to further promote your products and services, but it also allows you to tap into monetisation reservoirs that would have otherwise been missed opportunities.
To find out how we can help your football business grow you may be interested in reading more about our publisherconnect and fanconnect platforms.
We are interested in all kinds of datasets to compliment subsequent releases of the openfooty platform: from statistical match/club data to news, editorial and A/V media. For the most part, we'll do the tricky bits of actually integrating your content and making it all work - all we need from you is a thumbs up.
If you are in the business of producing football content, or you own a website that features rich football related datasets, then we'd like to discuss partnership opportunities with you.
White Label Solutions
The footytube team will soon be offering White Label solutions of dreamfooty - our award-winning community fantasy football game.
To add to the loveliness, our White Label solutions can be deployed on your site in a matter of minutes, and we will even share the footytube community with you so, if you're a start-up struggling for users, the footytube community will kickstart your traffic.
You will also be able to bring your own users into the footytube fold - users that participate on your site will be integrated into the footytube leaderboards and forum chat areas alongside regular footytube users.
Fill in our partnership application to find out more.
Spreading the Karma
Occasionally we get emails from people asking if there is a donation page where they can send footytube some money. Whilst we truly appreciate the gesture, we don't accept donations for our work.
However, if your wallet still wants to say thank you, why not upgrade your footytube account to PRO+? All of the proceeds go towards footytube and the openfooty project, and the generous support of our users are what helps to pay our (and your!) bandwidth charges.
We also give 50% of all subscription profits directly to Kick4Life - our official charity partner.
To find out about their life-saving work and to make a donation, visit the kick4life footytube channel
Join the project
We are always on the lookout for talented developers who share the same vision and feel-good tendencies that we do. And, since most of the footytube workforce have now developed R.S.I it means that we often have more awesome ideas than we do working joints. This is a problem, so it's always great to get a little help every now and again.
Currently we are on the lookout for:
PHP Developers with LOTS of spare time on their hands ;)
Widget Developers skilled in JS/Ajax
Flash and Actionscript gurus
Arty Peeps skilled in Illustrator/Photoshop
Drop us a line in the developer forum if any of this sounds like you.

To the editor:
I would like to thank Post 88 and 444 AmVets, Ladies Auxiliary and Sons for the fantastic fish fry they held for a local soldier, PFC Jamie Page, killed in Afghanistan, who left behind a 3-year-okl son, Jarod.
With the help of local bands, A Touch of Class Trio and South Bound Band, and the Bronson Volunteer Fire Department donating their time, $1,600 was raised for Jarod and his family.
This is what AmVets is all about, helping veterans and the community in need. Also thanks to the community for coming out and participating in this fundraiser.
Your support made it happen.

Actress Naomi Watts has vowed to age gracefully because she fears plastic surgery will make her look "freakish" and ruin her ability to show emotion on screen.
The 44-year-old "Mulholland Drive" star has no interest in buying into Hollywood's Botox trend because she's convinced actresses with wrinkles land the best roles.
She tells Good Health magazine, "I certainly don't judge anyone who does it, but most of the characters I play are going through some kind of emotional turmoil, so my job requires me to have expression. If my face was frozen, what right do I have to play that part?
"All the women who haven't (done) anything to their faces are still able to play great roles. And some of the ones who have done something have messed it up – they look freakish. Anyway, for me it's about playing women with rich lives – and the longer the life, the deeper the wrinkles."
Instead, Watts is doing everything she can to keep her body looking youthful naturally, adding, "I do Pilates, dance-cardio and yoga to keep in good form. I also play tennis because I love the sport. The competitive side to it makes it much more fun than just doing workouts."

What can we conclude from the fact that we did not get any word today on whether the Supreme Court intends to take up any of the gay marriage cases?
In a word, nothing.
NBC's Pete Williams updates The Cycle hosts from inside the Supreme Court on the Supreme Court's brief orders list that did not include any of the cases dealing with gay marriage.
One very likely explanation is that the court wants more time to discuss these cases and will re-schedule them for a future closed-door conference. This sometimes happens. Momentous cases are sometimes discussed in several conferences before the court acts.
It's also possible the court does not intend to take some of these cases up. Today, all the court issued was a list of the cases it granted. We won't get the list of cases they're denying until Monday, so we'll have to wait until then.
But, of course, if they do want more time to discus, we won't see anything on the orders list Monday, either.
So we'll take it day by day.
Next important day: Monday, December 3rd. There is one advantage: the orders list comes out at a set time -- 9:30 a.m.

Hand Model
accessories AMG001F
4"x 9-3/4"H
list price: $97.50
your price: $78.00
In our time antique art models have always been in demand by cognoscenti for their esoteric presence. Hand model is sculpted in wood, elaborately jointed and movable. Highly expressive, they love to convey a message! In style and classic taste…
Art is forever, life is short is the Latin expression. This from an age when art was considered a learned craft for the talented. When ateliers were filled with articulated art models and plaster casts of classic sculpture. When masters had an apprentice finish the lesser details of now famous paintings. Finesse and expertise were pre-eminent goals. Both our art and our artist models closely match the style and content of ages past.
Renaissance painters and sculptors of renown worked in ateliers with students, apprentices, and trained artists at hand. These studio-workers are the source of many paintings and sculptures referred to at auction or in literature as: "from the workshop of" or "in the style of" or "from the circle of"... The walls of these workshops were filled with plaster casts of classic sculptures. Casts of busts, hands, feet, legs, arms, torsos... Articulated wood models of the human form and of horses were in demand for everyday use.

My first post on this blog contained a disturbing photo of one child's meal in HISD: baked Flaming Hot Cheetos covered with nacho sauce, items the student purchased separately in his/her middle school cafeteria's "a la carte" line and mixed together for his/her lunch:
I chose to lead off with this topic because I've long been concerned about the nutritional quality of the foods HISD offers to students for profit, in competition with the federally subsidized school meal, on the district's a la carte lines.
Shortly after that post was published, an alarmed school board trustee contacted Brian Giles, Senior Administrator of Food Services, to express concern and obtain more information about the foods in the photograph. In his response (to which I was later given access), Giles reassured the school board trustee:
The picture features "queso" sauce made at the Food Service Support Facility and some baked snacks. These items, as well as all items approved for "a la carte" sale at schools, individually meet standards for Calories, Fat, Sugar, and Sodium as defined by the HealthierUS School Challenge. These voluntary nutrition standards exceed current standards mandated by USDA for all school districts.
Based on this representation, I told Spork Report readers the same thing in my follow up report about a la carte, i.e., that all of HISD's a la carte foods — including these two particular items (which I had made clear in my original post were purchased in a middle school) — comply with the HealthierUS Schools Challenge ("HUSSC") standards.
Some time later, though, I remembered that there are gold, silver and bronze standards under the HUSSC and I wondered which standard our district is meeting. But when I asked a representative of Food Services about this, now I was told:
Our elementary a la carte offerings meet the HealthierUS Schools Challenge Gold Standard. For now, at the middle and high school level, we are working with schools on an individual basis who want to make changes.
This response directly contradicted what the school board member had been told by Giles and what I had subsequently told Spork Report readers – i.e., that HISD is meeting healthier a la carte standards across the board, regardless of grade level.
Taken aback by this development, I decided to do some investigating on my own. I obtained from Frito-Lay's website the nutritional information for the baked Flaming Hot Cheetos in the photo
and I then plugged that data into the HUSSC a la carte foods calculator. To my surprise, the baked Cheetos were rejected by the calculator for containing an excessive amount of fat:
What's particularly disturbing here is that these baked Cheetos (at least according to my own elementary-aged child) are also sold at the elementary school level. So even where HISD is supposed to be meeting the HUSSC gold standard, the district is not in fact doing so, at least with respect to this particular product.
I raised all of the foregoing concerns with Brian Giles and he promised to have his nutrition team "re-analyze all our a la carte offerings as compared to HealthierUS School Challenge" and get back to me shortly. I'll share what I learn here.
Why is any of this important? Because until we see what forthcoming national nutritional standards for a la carte foods look like, or until HISD SHAC-based efforts to improve a la carte standards in our district reach fruition, there clearly are children like the one in the photo who are making an entire meal out of these foods. In a district which strives to offer "the highest level of nutrition possible on our campuses," meeting the HUSSC standards for every a la carte item it sells — across the board and at every grade level — would be a big step in the right direction.

Washington, DC—If power plants, boilers, furnaces, vehicles, and other energy infrastructure is not marked for early retirement, the world will fail to meet the 1.5-degree Celsius climate-stabilizing goal set out by the Paris Agreement, but could still reach the 2-degree Celsius goal, says the latest from the ongoing collaboration between the University of California Irvine's Steven Davis and Carnegie's Ken Caldeira.
To achieve the objective of limiting warming to no greater than 2 degrees Celsius—or, more optimistically, to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius—it will be necessary to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century.
In this new paper,
Washington, DC—Changes in temperature and precipitation have already impacted the amount of nitrogen introduced into U.S. waterways, according to new research from a team of three Carnegie ecologists published this week in Environmental Science & Technology.
Nitrogen from agriculture and other human activities washes into waterways, which, in excess, creates a dangerous phenomenon called eutrophication. This can lead to toxin-producing algal blooms or low-oxygen dead zones called hypoxia. Over the past several summers, dead zones and algal blooms in lake and coastal regions across the United States have received extensive news coverage.

Washington, DC—Tiny fragments of plastic in the ocean are consumed by sea anemones along with their food, and bleached anemones retain these microfibers longer than healthy ones, according to new research from Carnegie's Manoela Romanó de Orte, Sophie Clowez, and Ken Caldeira.
Their work, published by Environmental Pollution, is the first-ever investigation of the interactions between plastic microfibers and sea anemones. Anemones are closely related to corals and can help scientists understand how coral reef ecosystems are affected by the millions of tons of plastic contaminating the world's oceans.

Washington, DC—Strategies for limiting climate change must take into account their potential impact on water quality through nutrient overload, according to a new study from Carnegie's Eva Sinha and Anna Michalak published by Nature Communications. Some efforts at reducing carbon emissions could actually increase the risk of water quality impairments, they found.
Rainfall and other precipitation wash nutrients from human activities like agriculture into waterways. When waterways get overloaded with nutrients, a dangerous phenomenon called eutrophication can occur, which can sometime lead to toxin-producing algal blooms or low-oxygen dead zones called hypoxia.

Monitoring tropical deforestation and forest degradation with satellites can be an everyday activity for non-experts who support environmental conservation, forest management, and resource policy development.
Through extensive observation of user needs, the Greg Asner team developed CLASlite ( the Carnegie Landsat Analysis System--Lite) to assist governments, nongovernmental organizations, and academic institutions with high-resolution mapping and monitoring of forests with satellite imagery.
CLASlite is a software package designed for highly automated identification of deforestation and forest degradation from remotely sensed satellite imagery. It incorporates state-of-the
The Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO), developed by GregAsner, is a fixed-wing aircraft that sweeps laser light across the vegetation canopy to image it in brilliant 3-D. The data can determine the location and size of each tree at a resolution of 3.5 feet (1.1 meter), a level of detail that is unprecedented. By combining field surveys with this airborne mapping and high-resolution satellite monitoring the team has been able to detail myriad ecological features of forests around the world.
As one example, Carnegie scientists with the Peruvian Ministry of Environment mapped the true extent of gold mining in the biologically diverse region of Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon.
In March 2014, a technical support unit (TSU) of ten, headquartered at Global Ecology, had successfully completed a herculean management effort for the 2000-page assessment Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, including two summaries. They were issued by the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Working Group II co-chaired by Chris Field, Global Ecology director, with science co-directors Katie Mach and Mike Mastrandrea managing the input of over 190 governments and nearly 2,000 experts from around the world.
The IPCC, established in 1988, assesses information about climate change and its impacts. In September 2008, Field was
Until now, computer models have been the primary tool for estimating photosynthetic productivity on a global scale. They are based on estimating a measure for plant energy called gross primary production (GPP), which is the rate at which plants capture and store a unit of chemical energy as biomass over a specific time. Joe Berry was part of a team that took an entirely new approach by using satellite technology to measure light that is emitted by plant leaves as a byproduct of photosynthesis as shown by the artwork.
The plant produces fluorescent light when sunlight excites the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll. Satellite instruments sense this fluorescence yielding a direct

Anna Michalak joined Carnegie in 2011 from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on characterizing complexity and quantifying uncertainty in environmental systems to improve our understanding of these systems and our ability to forecast their variability. She is looking at a variety of interactions including atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and sequestration estimation, water quality monitoring and contaminant source identification, and use of remote sensing data for Earth system characterization.
The common theme of her research is to develop and apply spatiotemporal statistical data methods for optimizing the
Joe Berry has been a Carnegie investigator since 1972. He has developed powerful tools to measure local and regional exchanges of carbon over spaces of up to thousands of square miles. He uses information at the plant scale to extrapolate the carbon balance at regional and continental scales.
According to ISI's Web of Science, two of Joe Berry's papers passed extremely high, rarefied citation milestones. The 1980 paper "A biochemical model of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in leaves of C3 species," has had over 1,500th citations. His 1982 paper "On the relationship between carbon isotope discrimination and the intercellular carbon dioxide

Cabo San Lucas Information
Los Cabos (the capes), a large municipality spanning the East and West Capes at the tip of the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico, is 900 miles south of San Diego. The Tropic of Cancer crosses the peninsula 50 miles north of Land's End. The two main tourist areas of Los Cabos are Cabo San Lucas (Cabo), and San Jose del Cabo (San Jose). In the 1950's, Hollywood celebrities flew down in private planes to fish and hunt at a few exclusive resorts. The two-lane paved highway from Tijuana opened in 1974 and tourists began discovering our secret. The FONATUR, Mexico's government agency responsible for tourism development, began the infrastructure that enabled Los Cabos to become the resort destination it is today. The area population is approximately 110,000 with over one million visitors a year.
Cabo San Lucas is a safe place to travel in Mexico. There is only one main road that goes in and out of Cabo which does not bring any drug related violence to the area. The town of Cabo and surrounding areas is very safe, friendly, and easy going as people live the simple beach life. Twenty-four hour security is provided for the entire property of Villa La Estancia, and the surrounding beach grounds. The neighboring resorts have the same security in place. It's safe to walk into town from the resort and there is plenty to do within the resort itself.
In the event of an emergency dial 060. Los Cabos has a very low crime rate and is safe, especially when compared to larger, more urban areas in the U.S. and Canada. Do not take valuable to the beach and keep rental cars locked.
Consulary Offices in Cabo San Lucas:
Blvd. Marina Local C-4, Plaza Nautica, Col. Centro
Tel: (52)(624) 143-3566
The increase in violence in recent years has occurred near the U.S. border (Tijuana). Cabo San Lucas is not located near this area as shown on the map below

Cabo San Lucas is at the tip of the peninsula, where the Sea of Cortes (Gulf of California) and the Pacific Ocean meet. Cabo San Lucas Bay, one of the most beautiful in North America, was once used by pirates to plunder Manila galleons returning from the Philippines. Cabo San Lucas is known for its famous stone arch, called El Arco in Spanish. Famous for world-class sportfishing, annual billfish tournaments award hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes. Other big attractions are water sports, shopping, dining, and vibrant nightlife. The heart of Cabo is its marina; the home of sports fishing fleets, luxury yachts and boats for tours and cruises.
Smaller and quieter than Cabo and nineteen miles northeast, San Jose is a colonial oasis founded in 1730 by Jesuit missionaries on the banks of the Rio San Jose. The seat of government for the municipality, San Jose has an appealing downtown of tree-lined streets, a large main plaza, and a picturesque twin-spire church. There's plenty to do around the area: every type of water and land sport is nearby, or rent a car and explore the East Cape and the Sierra de la Laguna range.
The oceanfront Tourist Corridor separates Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Resort Hotels, endless beaches, and championship golf courses wind along this magnificent coastline.
Average annual rainfall is over 10 inches, most falling in September. The coolest months are December and January. Water temperature, even in the winter, is rarely below 70 degrees F. Average air temperature ranges from 50 to 80 F in the winter to 70 to 100 F in the late summer and fall. The Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula is usually 10 degrees cooler year round than the Sea of Cortes.
The state of Baja California Sur is on Mountain Time.
Both towns have ATMs and American Express offices. The currency is the Mexican Peso. Dollars can be exchanged at booths and at hotels at a slightly lower rate than banks. Banks are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or later, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Some do not exchange travelers checks. Ask before you queue. Shops and restaurants accept dollars but the rate may be lower than exchange booths and banks.
Taxis and car rental agencies are at the airport, major hotels, and in both downtown areas. A valid driver's license and credit card is required to rent a car. You must be 21 years of age or older. SuburCabos and InterBaja buses run approximately every half hour from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. between Cabo and San Jose, with stops in the Corridor.
English is widely spoken in the tourist areas of Los Cabos, but knowing a few Spanish words like please (por favor) and thank you (gracias) will surely bring a smile.
Tipping is usually 15% of the bill at restaurants and bars. Tip bellboys, taxis, maids, etc., depending on the service. Taking a siesta (afternoon rest) is a Mexican tradition. Some businesses and offices close from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., more so in San Jose, reopening until 7 p.m. or later. In restaurants, it's considered poor manners to present the check until it's requested. Ask for "la cuenta, por favor" and your bill will be delivered to you.
Both towns have modern hospitals and good medical and dental facilities. There is a decompression chamber in Cabo San Lucas.
Los Cabos' water supply is piped from aquifers in the Sierra de La Laguna. All major hotels and restaurants have purified water. When in doubt, ask for bottled water.
Long distance services are at all major hotels. Check rates before placing a call. Internet cafes and cellular phone providers are in both towns. The country code for Mexico is 52. The area code for Los Cabos is 624. Calls within Cabo San Lucas, the Tourist Corridor, and San Jose del Cabo are local calls with seven digit numbers. To make a collect call dial 090 for the bilingual International Operator.
To the U.S or Canada: Use the prefix 001, area code and number 001-111-222-3456 For within Mexico outside of Los Cabos Use the prefix 01, the area code and number 01-612-333-4567 For International calls, use the prefix 00, the country code, the area code and number 00-11-222-333-3456 To access US toll free numbers, dial 001-880 and the number: 001-880-555-1212. You will be charged regular long distance rates.
Most cellular phones from the U.S. and Canada may be programmed for local use through Telcel and Telefonica MoviStar, the local carriers. To dial a cellular phone from a land line or another cellular, use the prefix 044-624, then the seven digit cellular number: 044-624-148-9999
The Tourist Corridor is a playground on the edge of the world, where the desert disappears into the sea. A four-lane highway carves through the 18-mile Tourist Corridor connectiong Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Along the way championship golf courses and luxury resorts wind along the stunning coastline with many sandy beaches ideal for a relaxing stroll.

Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter
Although correct room placement plays a key role in optimizing
subwoofer performance, it can impose the inconvenience (not to mention
unsightliness!) of running long lengths of cable through walls, along
baseboards or under floors and carpets. The SWT-1 Subwoofer Wireless
Transmitter solves the problem and allows you to place your subwoofer
in the exact location where it will deliver the best bass. Cable
clutter becomes a thing of the past and actual system setup time can be
dramatically reduced.Wireless Connection Simplifies Subwoofer Setup
While it's true that bass waves are non-directional and in theory,
you should be able to place your subwoofer anywhere in the room without
affecting bass performance or the performance of your other speakers,
it's never quite that simple. Bass is dramatically affected by the room
itself dimensions, dead spots, archways, even furniture placement can
cause it to sound bloated or boomy with a lack of definition. Achieving
optimal bass almost always requires experimenting with the sub in
various parts of the room...and there's the rub! While experimenting,
you may discover the best place for the subwoofer is all the way across
the room, far from the amplifier or receiver. Or maybe a "hidden"
install is required. Both situations impose the inconvenience (not to
mention unsightliness!) of running a long length of cable through
walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets. That's where the
MartinLogan SWT-1 Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter comes in...
MartinLogan Dynamo 700 and Dynamo 1000
subwoofers are designed for wired or "wire-less" operation. A wireless
receiver built into each of these subs can be used to establish
connection with the optional SWT-1 MartinLogan Subwoofer Wireless
Transmitter (sold separately and available from your authorized ML
dealer). The ML SWT-1 allows you to experiment with subwoofer placement
to your heart's content. Unsightly wiring becomes a thing of the past
and the actual reduction in system set-up time can be dramatic.
Under the Hood
Not convinced? Skeptical about wireless audio? You can relax!
Following extensive research and testing, MartinLogan engineers
designed the SWT-1 with an uncompressed 16-bit/48-kHz sampling rate
(exceeding the current CD standard of 16-bit/44.1-kHz), which proved
more than adequate (and accurate!) for use in the wireless transmission
of low-frequency information below 200 Hz. And since the RF
transmission is digital it is error-checked to ensure no deviation from
the original signal.
The SWT-1 operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range. Often, users of
wireless technology complain about interference from other noise
sources in the room (i.e. wireless local area networks, portable phones
on the same frequency, even microwave ovens). MartinLogan engineers
included an integrated RF power amplifier that provides a 15 dBm RF
power level to reduce interference. Stray RF interference is also
reduced through use of Adaptive FHSS operation (think Bluetooth
technology, it's similar!).
In a typical room situation, the SWT-1's transmitter has a maximum
unobstructed operating range of 40 feet (12.5 meters) depending on
placement of course. If desired, its compact dimensions allow it to fit
neatly into an audio/video rack.
