Duluth student who nearly froze to death may have sought shelter in garage
DULUTH – Police interviews and observations from the scene where Alyssa Jo Lommel was found nearly frozen to death Saturday morning indicate that the 19-year-old college student probably searched around a neighbor's home for a way in, sought shelter in an unheated garage and ultimately stumbled to the concrete front steps of the neighboring home.
The Duluth Police Department closed the case Tuesday after interviewing several people who had been with Lommel that night, and released the gist of those conversations in a report.
According to the report:
After being dropped off around midnight, Lommel wasn't discovered until 9:30 a.m. Police found her cellphone on the back porch and footprints matching the boots she had on in the backyards of the two homes.
Lommel's night included time spent at parties in homes around the University of Minnesota Duluth, where she is a student. Friends and roommates interviewed said Lommel did not appear to be noticeably intoxicated, and the men who dropped her off at her home said they didn't wait to see whether she entered.
"He hit the locks and she got out and they drove away," the police report states.
The driver of that pickup was asked how intoxicated Lommel was. Friends said she had been drinking for six hours, including a game in which she took tequila shots. Police reported finding a Twitter entry from Lommel stating, "Yum Yum 10th shot of tequila."
The man who dropped her off told police that Lommel had "no more than usual" when it came to drinks that night.
"Just like a normal party chick," the report read when talking about the driver's observations. "She wasn't wasted. She could talk. And she wasn't falling-down drunk."
Police said they used Facebook and Twitter accounts to track down Lommel's friends and roommates.
One roommate came home a few hours after Lommel but told police she hadn't noticed anyone next door. Another roommate said she was home, watching television, but didn't hear anyone knock on the door.
Members of UMD's women's basketball team live next door and weren't home. The team was playing on the road last weekend.
Police at the scene Saturday morning followed Lommel's tracks. Some led to a garage, leading them to think she might have sought refuge there for a while. Tracks also circled a locked car in the backyard. She also walked down a dead-end street before coming back to the home.
Police said it wasn't clear if she walked around her own house, where a roommate was home. Friends said she left a party with keys to her home.
The police report says some tracks between the two homes show she probably used the side of a home to stand up. Other tracks show an area where she probably fell. Police believe she climbed over a railing to the steps where she was later found.
She was found wearing light-weight boots, jeans and a sweatshirt, the report said. It was estimated to be 15 degrees below zero at one time overnight.
The report shows that 16 people had contact with police regarding the incident, including Lommel's uncle, who works for the police department.
UMD issued a statement late Tuesday, expressing support for Lommel and offering advice to students.
"The UMD Police Department urges caution in the extreme cold. Travel in groups," the statement read. "Let people know where and when you will be traveling, and check in."

Guillermo del Toro Inspired Horror Short - SHHH
We've got another great Halloween horror short film to share with you all today! This one is called Shhh, and it was directed by Freddy Chávez Olmos and Shervin Shoghian. It's a nightmarish fantasy horror thriller that was inspired by the dreams of director Guillermo del Toro. It also serves as an anti-bullying message. The short is extremely well made, and there are some pretty heavy moments, but it's very entertaining.
"Shhh" is a tale about a young boy, who uses his imagination to overcome his monstrous bully at night. Tired of being scared, Guillermo eventually takes matters into his own hands. Inspired by the lucid dreams of director Guillermo del Toro during childhood.
This is an anti-bullying project created in our spare time with a low budget. A tribute to one the filmmakers we look up to since we were kids, Guillermo del Toro. It couldn't have been completed without many sleepless nights and a lot of help & support from our talented cast, crew, family and colleagues. The film had a great response in the festival circuit and we're very happy to finally share it with all of you here.

Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
The Griffin family takes a leaf from the Simpsons
Game Title: Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
Publisher: TinyCo
Reviewed On: Android
Available on: Android,iPhone
Anything The Simpsons can do, Family Guy can do better. Sort of. The Quest for Stuff is very similar to EA's Simpsons Tapped Out, as Peter and his feud with a giant chicken destroy the town. You have to rebuild from scratch, clearing junk and repairing ruined buildings. There's a more adult theme to it: Bonnie's tasks include twerking and chugging a bottle of wine, whereas Quagmire is, well, Quagmire. But the basic idea is the same. There's even the option to add friends and visit their towns to collect cash and extra clams, which can then be swapped for new buildings, the ability to speed up tasks or hiring new workers. Each characters has a FaceSpace profile that is updated periodically, reflecting the quests you've completed. The game injects some of Family Guy's humour, including some long running gags, and the characters are voiced by their animated counterparts.

Having had the better part of five days to think about the film adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl and the time to read the reviews of other bloggers and movie critics, I feel that there needs to be some discussion about the rape scene. The more I think about it, the more appalled I become. I don't believe it ever happened and portraying such an act is a disservice to those who had no previous knowledge of Tudor History.
In reality, Henry and Anne's courtship was about 6 years old before they were married and it was only several months beforehand that they were sexually intimate. While I'm certain that there was something about Anne that fueled Henry's fire, for her to have kept his interest for that long before the relationship was consummated, there had to be something else there for his desire, there was more to their relationship than just sexual attraction. If his primary goal was to have her, he would not have waited a minute let alone five plus years. Anne was an intelligent and astute woman. She knew that the chase is what kept Henry interested. Still, she knew exactly when the opposite was true. Anne was many things, but she was not a victim. She desired the throne of England and she worked and manipulated her way to just that spot. What she did not take into account was the difficulty in keeping Henry without a male heir. This was a difficulty she created for herself. Had she not gone to the lengths to support the separation of England from the Roman Catholic Church she may never have been Queen of England, but she probably would have kept her head. There is no way to be sure, but I can't imagine her not being aware of that. I think that Natalie Portman did an excellent job portraying how quickly Anne Boleyn went from having it all to constantly worrying about losing it all.
So why did the movie choose rape as the vehicle for the consummation of Henry and Anne's relationship? The only rational explanation I can come up with is that the film did not deal with the length of their courtship. It wasn't just washed over, either. At the end of the movie when Mary's children were frolicking in the fields with Elizabeth, Elizabeth was very close in age to Henry Carey. Since they eliminated the time and struggle involved with breaking with the Roman Catholic Church, they needed another device to explain Anne's pregnancy at the time of their marriage and her coronation. This bothers me. Henry was no saint, but he still deserves honest treatment.

Update: Drupal 7.0 Alpha 5 is available now!
Our third Drupal 7 alpha version was released just over a month ago. Today, we're proud to announce the release of the fourth alpha version of Drupal 7.x for your further testing and feedback. The first alpha announcement provided a comprehensive list of improvements made since Drupal 6.x, so in this announcement we'll concentrate on how you can help ensure that Drupal 7 is released as soon as possible and is as rock solid as the previous Drupal releases that you've grown to love!
This release includes many critical bug fixes and other improvements, including:
- Color module now usable by themes other than Garland.
- Usability improvements including re-weightable roles and saner Forum module defaults.
- A variety of optimizations made to data import-related functions to make migrations faster.
- Lots of previously missing documentation for hooks has now been documented. Hooray!
- Increased test coverage, particularly core Tokens.
- Lots of smaller bug fixes, security patches, and improvements.
Please see the release notes for more details.
It is important to note that this alpha version should not be used for production sites. We've resolved most errors reported so far, but there are outstanding known issues (including security issues) and most likely some problems that have not been reported as of yet. Our next release will be on or about May 21, 2010. If the upgrade path is working, and all known security issues are fixed, this will be a beta. Otherwise, it will be another alpha release. It's expected we will have a few beta versions and at least one release candidate before Drupal 7.0 is finalized. You can help us reach the final release date sooner by testing this alpha and providing feedback.
Updating from previous versions
Please note that the upgrade path does not work yet. If you would like to help resolve this, see the D7 upgrade path tag. Upgrades will also not be supported between Drupal 7 versions until beta 1, so alphas should be installed for testing only.
Always make backups of your data and never do testing on your live site to make sure you keep all of your information intact even if something goes wrong.
So when does 7.0 get released?
The release version of Drupal 7.0 will be ready after (a) there are no more critical bugs and (b) we've had at least one release candidate (RC) without adding any more issues to the list.
When will that be? Well, it depends entirely on how many people chip in and help out! The more people help, the faster we can find and fix bugs, and the faster 7.0 gets released. The faster 7.0 gets released, the faster we can start adding new features to Drupal 8.0. So help out where you can, and let's make this the best and most solid release of Drupal yet! :)
How do I help test the alpha?
Review existing issues
Set up a testing environment
Apply and test existing patches
Submit bug reports
Create patches
Start by either installing a new Drupal site or upgrading an existing one running on a previous version (see INSTALL.txt or UPGRADE.txt in the package). When setting up a new site, you can use the Development module to generate some test data (content, users, etc) to help you start testing quickly. As with everything still in development, we do not recommend running pre-releases on a live site. Also, always make sure to backup of your data before performing an upgrade or start testing.
New Drupal Users
Are you completely (or relatively) new to Drupal? Or do you know just enough to be dangerous? Are you used to working with other content management systems and willing to lend your perspective in improving the way Drupal works? If so, you're a perfect candidate to help with usability testing and improving documentation! As you're going through Drupal 7, take notes on things you find difficult or confusing, and translate those notes into an issue which will show up in the issue tracker. Make sure to be as clear as possible about what the problem was and provide suggestions on how to improve it -- this makes it easier for developers to help!
You can also help by testing the D7 Install Guide and noting any mistakes on the issue for this.
Do people often congratulate you on your ability to break things? Are you a creative individual who likes to experiment in unconventional ways to see what happens? Do you enjoy looking over other peoples' work and picking nits in order to make it as good as it possibly can be? If any of these apply to you, you could make a great tester! We need testers both to try out different aspects of Drupal itself, as well as take a look at the issue queue, checking bugs to see if they're valid and testing patches to verify they work properly. Read more about setting up a testing environment and applying patches.
Module and theme developers
There is no better way to shake out any lingering bugs with the API and to ensure that your modules and themes will work with the new version of Drupal than to update your modules and update your themes! Make sure to file any bugs that you find! And try coding some upgrade routines to help make the process smoother for the next person!
Drupal Ninjas and Ninjas-in-training
If you're adept at Drupal hacking, or are eager to learn, a great place to start is with the bug tracker or the patch queue. Even if you don't have a full solution for a problem, often even a step in the right direction can be enough for another developer to take it home! Read up on how to create patches.
Drupal interface translators
The interface strings of Drupal 7.0 are mostly frozen. The days of major changes to the UI strings are over, but we still are changing texts to fix bugs or to lend clarity in the interface. Around release candidate 1, a formal "string freeze" will be declared at which point it should be safe to start translating.

An Introduction to x86_64 Assembly Language
Once upon a time it would have been common place for a software developer to sit down and get their work done using assembly language. These days, however, most developers hardly, if ever, find the need to touch a single line of assembly (aside from, perhaps, some debugging). Sure, there are some applications in which we may need to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of our programs, but in this day and age you'll be hard pressed to come any where close to the code optimizations made by modern compilers. Many use this as an excuse to never really learn assembly language (aside from the brief bit you may spend on it in a computer science course), but there is still a great deal of benefit to know it.
I personally find assembly language useful for reverse engineering work, but even a common developer can gain a great deal…

the lower east side (LES) of nyc
Like all urban cities, the landscape has changed tremendously over the past decade. When we first moved to NYC in the early 80's the lower east side was a place to find bargains. Heavily dominated by Jewish shop owners particularly Orchard Street right around the corner from Katzs Deli. There are a few shops left but very few. The landscape has changed. We even have Mile End Sandwich Shop now on the Bowery (another transformed neighborhood) which is this generations Katzs Deli.
Jessica is spending the summer in London. She is living in Shoreditch. When I went to school in London that area of London was predominantly Jewish merchants very similar to the LES. Now it is overcome with hip shops, new restaurants and galleries just like the LES. Urban renewal.
I have been in the city (I thought I'd be at the beach) for the last week because we moved back into our apartment, post-flood. I spent the day with Emily on the LES. We had lunch and shopped. Even in the past two years there has been massive change. You really have to hunt for an empty store front. It is a good thing for the city and the neighborhood.
We started with lunch at Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya that is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining. It is located inside the Thompson LES hotel. Ten years ago nobody would have put such a beautiful hotel down there. The menu changes with each meal. Lunch is small but dinner is quite large. We had a few rolls to split.
I am a huge fan of the Blue Ribbon house salad. Carrots, avocado, chopped greens and a ginger dressing. I am also a big fan of the brothers behind Blue Ribbon. They have quitely created an incredible empire.
We also tried the deep fried chicken wings with a wasabi honey and chili sauce on the side. Super crispy.
The ribs are pretty perfect. Black vinegar and crispy rice on top…just falling off the bone. Fred and I went back for dinner there the other night after seeing Beasts of the Southern Wild. The young heroine is incredible in this film. We sat outside on the deck at the restaurant. It is a pretty great spot.
Emily and I walked around and hit up a few stores. I have always loved this store. Maryam Nassir Zadeh. A real eclectic mix of clothes and jewelry.
We walked by Mission Chinese Food. One of the hottest restaurant in NYC right now. A dive. Maybe a few seats somewhere back there. I think the best thing might be to order for delivery and go pick it up.
So many new places. Landbrot. German bakery and bar. There is also one in the West Village. The pretzels are killer.
This store has been around for years but just as the neighborhood has evolved so has their mixture. Great stuff.
Spiritual America is relatively new. Nice mixture of young designers.
Stopped across the street for a blueberry mint iced tea. I have had lunch here before. Healthy well made food. I particularly love the banquette that wraps around the front window.
Creatures of Comfort is a big winner. They have been around for a few years but the mix there is great. The store is big and airy. I'm a fan.
A great day with Emily. I always love walking around the neighborhoods of NYC. We did it when we first got here and have not stopped since. Watching the city change is no different than watching the new businesses emerge in tech space. A birds eye view of the landscape of NYC at every angle keeps my mind moving.

Monday is the last day for voters to register by mail or online for the Nov. 6 general election, or for previously registered Washington voters to change their voting addresses, but anything sent by mail must be postmarked by Saturday.
The early postmark is required because there is no mail Monday, the federal Columbus Day holiday.
Voters can register or file address changes on line or in person at the county auditor's office in Everett through Monday. The auditor's office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday because Columbus Day is not a state holiday.
Voters who want to register by mail can get material at libraries in Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace and at most post offices, or they can download forms from the Snohomish County elections website or the secretary of state's website.
New Washington voters can register through Oct. 29, but they must register at the auditor's office.

I was asked in another thread to refute the notion that Hurricane Sandy is "good for the economy" because at least it will create a lot of construction jobs.
I — and so many others — have so thoroughly debunked this notion in so many venues over the years that I fear I can find nothing new to say, so I'll leave you with this:
If you find yourself in an argument about this, ask your opponent whether it's "good for the ants" when you put a stick down their anthill, wiggle it around and destroy their infrastructure. Go ahead and acknowledge that this can sure put a lot of ants to work.
Or, for that matter….

Sorry everyone for the delay. Like I said there wasn't any secrecy. Anyway, I was looking at 4 machines. After considering everything everyone said to check and look for, I decided on the International 125e. It's a '79. It had the second best undercarriage of the four. The best had a new U/C. But, cost 2.5 times more. Anyway, I had originally looked mainly at dozers. But, I bought this one. Plus, he delivered it to me Saturday afternoon. I spent Saturday evening getting acquainted with "Sheila". Pushing over some small brush and trying to clean up and smooth some burn piles. Sunday, I did a little more with it. I needed to move a pile that the operator I hired piled up. Right where the electric line needed to be buried. So, I condensed his pile by about 6-8 feet. Then I graduated to larger trees. I had my girlfriend take some video's of me pushing them down. Only to find out after the fact she told me she couldn't get the camera to work. The trees weren't large by some standards. But, for my first trees I thought everything went well. The first tree was a 60' pine about 8" in diameter. The second was a 60' oak about 14" in diameter. Both fell right where I planned for them to fall. Then I cut them up for firewood. They needed to be cleared for the house. I didn't want to take them out. But, there wasn't any other way and get the house in. Then I leveled out the dirt where they had been. I think I did pretty good for my first time.
Now ,a couple of the things I'd like to find out now other than the manuals I'll need is; Where would I find out what type of hydraulic fluid I need. Would the Case dealer know or would I need to go to the Komatsu dealer? Or, I'm sure one of you will know. Also, what type of grease do you use to tighten the tracks? I want to try and get the routine maintenance done. I'm not sure when it was last done. The oil was fairly new looking and not black. Thanks to everyone for all of the info you provide. What a great service. I hope to learn a lot from everyone.
Thanks again,James
Here are some before and after photos. The first is the oak tree. The others are the burn pile areas. There wasn't a before and after of the other burn pile. So, I showed it "After" from two different views. Well one got uploaded twice and I could figure out how to delete it. Sorry.
Again thanks to everyone for this great site.James

A 30-year-old bicyclist died this morning after riding into the path of a Jacksonville school bus in the 11000 block of Atlantic Boulevard, police said.
The accident occurred about 6:15 a.m. at the entrance to the Sutton Oaks subdivision off Atlantic Boulevard in East Arlington, said Officer Melissa Bujeda, a Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Jose S. Jimenes, who lived in an Atlantic Boulevard apartment complex, was hit by the bus turning into the subdivison. The bus, occupied by four students from Atlantic Coast High School, had the right-of-way, Bujeda said.
Jimenes was pronounced dead at the scene. None of the students or the bus driver was injured.
A woman, apparently the bus driver, was seen leaving the scene in tears. Others who apparently knew the victim were also in tears at the scene.
Coincidentally, the bus company, Student Transportation of America, is the same company whose bus was driving across the Intracoastal bridge of Beach Boulevard last Friday when 16-year-old Jessie Herr jumped from the rear emergency door. Herr later died.
Eastbound traffic was cut down to one lane at points during the morning as police investigated the accident. Police announced a little before 11 a.m. that all lanes were re-opened.
Bujeda said the victim is the third bicyclist killed in Jacksonville this year and the 54th traffic fatality investigated by the Sheriff's Office. There were 40 such deaths at the same point last year.

Redmond man injured in 200-foot tumble
by Cheryl McDermott
A 26-year old Redmond man was transported to the hospital by helicopter after he was rescued from the bottom of a steep 200-foot embankment leading down to the Clackamas River east of Estacada on Monday evening, deputies reported.
Danny Russell Crane was negotiating the side of a steep bank near milepost 24 of Highway 224 with a friend in order to get down to the Clackamas River below when the earth collapsed beneath their feet about 6 p.m., Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies said. Crane tumbled out of control until he came to rest about 200 feet below, injured but conscious and breathing.
Danny Russell Crane of Redmond was injured when he tumbled 200 feet down an embankment - CCSO photoHigh-angle rope technicians with Clackamas Fire & Rescue retrieved Crane and provided emergency medical attention before he was flown by LifeFlight to Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital. According to deputies, Crane complained of neck, shoulder, and abdominal pain.

I am very interested in ArBB as it is to my knowledge the only industrial product providing an abstraction over the memory architecture of the computer.
I am working on a very complex linear algebra solver (used to solve the neutron transport equation in nuclear reactor cores).
The algorithm has been optimized a long time ago for vector machines and completely reimplemented for multicore superscalar processors.
In the current implementation, data locality has been optimized but the code do not use SSE/AVX units.
In order to study the usability of a tool such as ArBB for our case, I have extracted the most computation intensive part of our solver.
Here is a short description of the problem :
We want to solve a linear algebra problem Ax=b where:
x and b are vectors.
A is a bloc-diagonal matrix.
All blocks are banded, symmetric and have the same size.
As A is block diagonal, the Ax=b problem can be decomposed as a collection of smaller independent problems. One for each block of the matrix A.
As these blocks all have the same size, the sequence of operation required to solve the different problem is exactly the same.
Hence, the resolution can be vectorized (considering a "vector" of problems).
The code is written in C++ and we uses classes to represent the matrices and vector.
Internally, the matrices and vectors can be represented as 2D dense arrays.
However, I can't figure out how to express our problem with ArBB : the parallelism is only available over one dimension of these arrays.
The source attached is very short (approx 200 lines including results verification and time measurements). It can be compiled with any linux C++ compiler
I have written a SSE and a AVX version using intrinsics. Performances are very good (x5 for SSE and x8 for AVX) but the code is ugly and not maintainable. Indeed, the data structure has to be completely adapted in order to pack the data and contains padding.
Hence, I'd like to use ArBB for this problem.
I would be very gratefull if you have any suggestion.
Thank you for having read me up to here !

My husband desperately wants ducks. I quite like the idea, but don't want my garden completely ruined. That said, its a fairly 'rustic' looking garden so I'm not going to get prissy about the odd duck-jobby on the lawn or nibbled herb. Does anyone on here keep free-ranging ducks? I'm considering 2 or 3 mini silver appleyards and want to let them have free run except for at night. Boundaries are already dog/fox/rabbit/chicken-proof. We've got a pond (about 2.5m x 4) - which I fully expect they'll trash. Any experience/advice welcomed - I am used to a variety of pets and the compromises they involve, though never had wildfowl before. Bx

Robert J. Boland, who worked as a budget analyst and director of fiscal affairs for the Westchester Board of Legislators for 20 years, died Sunday. He was 84 and lived in Dobbs Ferry.
Boland retired from the board in 2010 after working in several positions analyzing budgets and the financial impact of legislation. After he retired, he came back to work as a consultant. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Westchester Medical Center.
The Board of Legislators hired Boland as a budget analyst in 1990 as part of an overhaul of the budget review process a few months after County Executive Andy O'Rourke proposed a 27 percent tax increase.
Former Legislator Richard Wishnie, who was chairman of the Budget Committee for 10 years, said Boland was a kind person and perfect gentleman but also a stickler for getting the numbers right.
"He was only interested in what was right, very accurate," he said. Wishnie said he trusted no one more with the numbers.
Olivia Rhodes, the current director of fiscal affairs, saw his attention to detail while working for the administration of County Executive Andy Spano.
"You had to make sure that Bob understood what you were doing and why you were doing it because the legislators really did rely on him heavily," she said.
Before joining the board staff, Boland worked as a financial professional in private industry, including nearly 30 years with Empire Mutual Insurance Company. He served with the U.S. Army during the Korean War, going to the Army's finance school and graduating first in his class, according to his daughter Donna Boland.
Donna Boland said though he loved his work, it didn't take away from his time with his family.
"As a dad it seemed like he was always there for us, for everything," she said. "He had five kids whose interests ranged from writing to masonry and yet he always seemed to be there."
Boland was born in Manhattan on Oct. 15, 1928 to Elizabeth Lynch and Thomas Boland. He married Eleanor Boland on May 11, 1957 and she died last year. He was a parishioner at Sacred Heart Church in Hartsdale and served as president of the Parish Council.
Boland is survived by his children, Robert, Martin, Neil, Donna and Geraldine and four grandchildren.
Visiting hours are Wednesday and Thursday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The funeral will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, 10 Lawton Ave., Hartsdale. Interment will be at Gate of Heaven cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer at www.lustgarten.org or by mail to The Lustgarten Foundation, 1111 Stewart Ave. Bethpage, NY 11714.

Testifying before Governor's Council on behalf of judicial nominee
June 19, 1996
Opinion 96-7
This letter is in response to your request for advice from the Advisory Committee. On June 10, 1996 you wrote to ask the Committee's opinion on whether the Code of Professional Responsibility for Clerks of the Courts prohibits an assistant clerk from testifying before the Governor's Council on behalf of a judicial nominee. You are an assistant clerk at the and have been asked to testify in support of a candidate for appointment to the bench of the Court.
In the opinion of the Committee, the Clerks' Code of Professional Responsibility would not prohibit a Clerk from testifying before the Governor's Council on behalf of a judicial nominee. In the view of the members, such activity is permitted under paragraph 4 (D) of Canon 4 which provides as follows: "Activities to Improve the Law. A Clerk-Magistrate may use his or her title to engage in activity to improve the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice. A Clerk-Magistrate may appear at public hearings and may otherwise consult with governmental bodies or officials on such matters."

Ideally we should have had Dendrome about 1-1.5 months ago, which added many avenues of rep progression for both major factions on top of possibly adding a new faction and new style of gameplay. That could have probably coasted at least 6 months.
I think a big part of the problem heck probably the root of the problem is they let go of a ton of people. They are trying to do things now I think with a fraction of the team they had last year. So we do have to remember that and realize that sadly our expectations will probably have to lower to be realistic. However yeah I agree the carnival sucked and there is no excuse for how bad it was. At the very least when they hotfixed the amount of tickets each game gave they could have increased the amount more then they did. I also agree some sort of statement should have been issued about the layoffs and people leaving.
I doubt it will be 6 monthes before 2.3 or are you saying 6 months after 2.3 before we get any new content? I think 2.3 will come in the next couple of months. Like I said before they really need to start talking about it more. Get some excitement going! I know I got excited with one of the interviews lately when we first heard of strongholds and I know every little big of info about 2.3 gets me more excited. However the silence is not exciting and while I am not feeling as negative about the game as some of you clearly are I am not really excited about it anymore either.
As for going back to WoW. You know I have thought about that since my husband plays that but won't play Rift *yeah that sucks lol* But I couldn't even get to 90 before being bored out of my mind. And the leveling in WoW is WAY quicker then 50-60 in Rift right now. At end game I think I would have even less to look forward to then I do in Rift especially given that I am a solo player. Though to be fair Rift isn't the best game for a solo player that does no dungeons or raids either. WoW does seem to be finally stepping up their game however I think it is about time. I wish I could get into it again but I couldn't even last a couple weeks the last time. But to be honest its not like Rift is really exciting anymore either. Come on 2.3! *sighes*
Complaining about rep grinds in MoP versus Rift is like complaining that it's hot because it's 60 degrees outside to someone who lives inside a volcano.
Yes, it is 100 times worse than MoP considering that you don't have as many options, it takes way, way longer, and is much less fun in the process.
But once again to any new players here I would still encourage you all to give it a fair shot. Despite its problem I think over all its still a solid game. Many of us have just been playing for quite awhile and are just burned out and need more content. But for a new player there is still tons of content in this game. And who knows by the time you get to 60 maybe 2.3 will be out!
I will also say that compared to the beginning of SL things have improved. In the beginning there was no rep from dungeons no lesser runes I think daily quests might have given even less rep then they do now and I think there is one more thing I am forgetting. So it has improved they are trying they just need to add more variety to the content they do have. That brings up another potential concern of mine too. Adding new content like strongholds is great and all but they also still need to focus on improving what they already have. They have a good base it just needs more variety.

Personally I enjoy both games for different reasons, though I won't be playing either of them for a while if I can help it. The bottom line is if you are a casual player, or your focus isn't end game raiding, or you raid through LFR, you are not going to like Rift at max level possibly at all. It provides little beyond raiding other than a never ending grind.
It's a shame too, because the design of the game is simply phenomenal. There's a strong chance that the Dendrome patch will rectify all of these problems, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm very happy with Rift and I've gotten my moneys worth of entertainment from it. (thanks Fencers for promoting the game, I was really in need of something)
But yeah, for us non-raiders there's not much to do after a while. Or rather, there's stuff to do but it gets repetitive and takes a pretty long time (even with the cross shard thingy). I'm personally mostly interested in getting decent gear and doing world events and some pvp, sometimes also solo old content.
3 upgrade stages for IS gear is a bit over the top imo, and lots of stuff are 'overpriced'.
I'm an altoholic and have all 4 callings at level 60.
Right now, I just don't feel like logging on any more. As Lathais said - it will be absolutely great for new players - the game has a lot of new, shiny things for them to do, but for people who can now see how much they re-use and market as "new content", they've completely dropped the ball.

Deep into their September 4th set at New York's Irving Plaza, as DJ Shadow bent over his spread of turntables, cueing the next sequence of beats, his partner in spin, Cut Chemist, gingerly lifted a piece of 12-inch vinyl from one of his decks and held it aloft, like a round, black equivalent of the Ten Commandments. He had, in fact, just played a religious object: an original demo pressing of "Looking for the Perfect Beat," the hallowed flipside of "Planet Rock," the 1982 hip-hop breakthrough single by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force.
Like everything else that went under the needle during Shadow and Chemist's propulsive 90-minute spree of old-school breakbeats and frenetic scratches, the disc came from Bambaataa's fabled 42,000-piece record collection. That house of wax is part of an even bigger archive that Bambaataa, now 57, donated in 2013 to the Hip Hop Collection at Cornell University, where he is a visiting scholar. But every thump, riff and shout that boomed through the room tonight – including brazenly manipulated chunks of Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song," Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" and Bambaataa's own '83 jam "Renegades of Funk" – was pulled from the same LPs and 12-inch singles that Bambaataa broadcast across Bronx playgrounds and used to fill the floors at clubs all over New York in the late Seventies and early Eightes. Even the scratches sounded like history come alive.
Rebirth of the Zulu Nation
DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) and Cut Chemist (Lucas MacFadden) are co-headlining the Renegades of Rhythm tour, a 28-show celebration of Bambaataa's academic ascension and – at a time when-hip hop is arguably 21st century America's pop music – strangely overlooked legacy. A child of the Bronx River Projects, Bambaataa (Kevin Donovan) combined his adolescent exposure to local gang culture, his mother's eclectic record collection and her black activism into an Afro-space-soul crew, the Zulu Nation, promoting non-violence in the community and hosting local dance parties. (Bambaataa took his name from a Zulu chief prominent in South Africa's early anti-apartheid insurgence.)
That is a lot to get across in an hour and a half of two white disciples from California playing records. But the socio-political component of Bambaataa's importance to hip-hop – especially the emphasis on crossing borders and color in his mixing – ran through many of the records Shadow and Chemist pulled from their respective crates. That Kraftwerk piece, central to "Planet Rock," got an extended airing. There were dark materials from Public Image Ltd.'s Flowers of Romance. And Chemist didn't just play the key riff from Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart" – he let the track run into singer Jon Anderson's high, quivering vocal, allowing it to demonstrate how Bambaataa found momentum and unity in the least likely grooves.
Wheels of Steel
Coming just a few days after the Electric Zoo festival on Randall's Island – a field of loops and sequences, presided over by superstar DJs at flight-deck armories of mobile-studio gear – the Renegades of Rhythm show was an object lesson in the early, hard work of DJ culture: the hectic, physical choreography of flipping dozens of black pancakes across turntables, tugging at the actual wax in rapid staccato to create an alien, vocal-like ecstasy.
At Irving Plaza, Shadow and Chemist each ran three decks and a tea-table-size mixer – you could have fit the entire tech, plus the record boxes, in the back seat of a cab. But they made the most of that minimalism, working in both tandem and exchange, building set pieces of dense, murky funk that broke into extended improvisations of scratch, shiver and new-math jolts of percussion. One set – the part where Chemist played that "Perfect Beat" demo – was devoted to Bambaataa's own singles, like "Planet Rock" and "Renegades of Funk," a lesson in how he made his greatest hits from the records he gathered and loved.
Seeing the Music
The show came with visual education too. One of the videos running behind Shadow and Chemist was a montage of Bambaataa's actual records, screen shots of platter covers with his handwritten notes and, often, tape across the titles and artists (no doubt to prevent rivals from cribbing his sources). That parade was a gas in itself: Thin Lizzy's Johnny the Fox; Life on Mars by the Philadelphia International disco-futurist Dexter Wansel; records by jazz man Grover Washington, Jr., Latin conga maestro Candido and the Seventies progressive British rock band Babe Ruth.
Most of the covers were battered beyond belief; it was not hard to imagine the condition of the actual discs Shadow and Chemist were throwing around on stage. If you saw them in a cardboard box at a record fair or thrift store, they would probably be going at ten for five bucks. Instead, they sounded like a million dollars, raw drive transformed into a gold that still sounds new and inspirational. At the end of the night, Bambaataa – who watched the set from the balcony – came down to the stage and took a bow, a radiant smile belying the inscrutable effect of his giant Sun Ra-like shades. His life's work may now be a library, but it's still a revolution with wheels.

Prince and John Mellencamp lead the list of 2004 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They join the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, the Stooges, Jackson Browne and ZZ Top, who have been eligible in past years, but have yet to receive sufficient votes for induction.
Eligibility requires an act to have released a debut album at least twenty-five years earlier. Prince's first record, For You was released in 1978, though he wouldn't make his mark on the album charts until a year later with Prince. Mellencamp could have been eligible as early as 2001, but his 1976 debut, Chestnut Street Incident (released unbeknownst to him under the handle Johnny Cougar), went largely unheard in the brief time between its release and his subsequent exit from MCA. It would take Mellencamp two additional albums to break into the Top Forty with Nothin' Matters and What If It Did (as John, rather than Johnny, Cougar) and fifteen years before he was able to reclaim his real name.
As for the returning ballot nominees, punk pioneers the Sex Pistols have been eligible for two years. While considered highly influential on subsequent acts, the band's output of a single album, 1977's Nevermind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, was likely considered a tripping point, considering the more prolific Ramones and Clash have both been inducted. The Stooges, also considered highly influential among later bands, were never spitting distance from the charts. The group has been eligible since 1994, and a handful of reunion dates over the past year might have improved their odds.
Ozzy Osbourne has been outspoken about Black Sabbath's exclusion, penning a letter two years ago to ask that the band's name be removed from the ballot. "Believe me," he wrote, "I don't give a fuck if I get in or not, however it'd be nice for my kids."
Others on the new ballot include Bob Seger, Traffic, the "5" Royales and the Dells. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2004 will likely be announced in December. The ceremony is typically held in New York City in March.

I am trying to figure out how to prove the equality I circled below in red. I have figured out how to prove the text in blue but don't know how to use that to prove the equality I circled in red.
Below I will post the givens I'm trying to use and my guess of how to prove it.
P.S. I understand this only proves the chain rule in the special case where . This is from Stewart's Calculus and he does mention that this is not a full proof but I'm very curious how to prove this special case anyway.
I'm not sure if I'm using the right givens below.
In their blue form it looks like I will be able to use the transitive property of implication if I can always let the from the 1st given equal the from the second line.

The drilling of holes in side of the head is called trepanation. There's actually some science behind that; it decreases blood pressure on the brain, reducing and sometimes even eliminating most mental disorders.

Thanks to the ridiculously pointless description on the back of the can, I know nothing about Cadi's flavor. A peak at the ingredients yields "natural and artificial flavors," which also tells me a whole lot of nothing. I have no idea what the flavor is supposed to be. This being true, I must rely entirely on my senses. A quick whiff from the nicely decorated green can projects a sweet, sour, and salty aroma, likely lime and a few other citrus flavors. It smells pretty good, if not a little on the salty side.

Due to an inability to pre book a land option, I have sadly come to the point that I am being forced to book a flight.
Basically, i need proof of an onward ticket before they let me into Namibia, which I can't arrange. So. I want to book a flight, from somewhere in Southern Africa, to more or less anywhere else in the world. I suppose a European destination, but I don't really care providing it's reasonably long.
The most important things that I need are (a) it's reasonably cheap (b) home printable and (c) 100% refundable online (or, minus a small admin/booking fee). I'll be looking for a flight date of maybe August/September time.
So where can i book a self print ticket out of Southern Africa, that i can then easily cancel and get my money back without having to fight for it or spend hours on the phone?!

Thanks, Joseph. I'm using the term closure as appropriate to the application, but given the number of closures there are in computing and mathematics (six others come to mind without having to consult any books), I should've spelled this out in the scenario. Closure has such a generic meaning in common language, so it can be applied in many different domains. The common language usage of the term closure is as a noun for the act of closing or finishing (e.g. "We would like closure on this specification process as soon as possible"). The current XFDL filters are designed to specify the precise conditions necessary to close or finish a document. Thus, if person A signs an unfinished document, then the signature filters can be set up to describe precisely what is allowed to change after Person A's signature in order to achieve closure on the document. If Person B deviates from the described changes, then this should be equivalent to deviation from the intent of the application, and should therefore result in the invalidation of Person A's signature. Of course, this means that signature A must be able to specifically define what should be omitted since that is precisely what may be added to close the document. From an algorithmic standpoint, this design also implies the need to scan the entire document looking for things that match a filter, which is reminiscent of other closure operations in computing. With only inclusion logic such as we had in the original manifests of the Brown draft, one did not need to scan the entire document but could conceive of using short-circuits if they were available. Note that this design still puts the onus on the application developer to set up a filter properly, but if an application has a security hole, it is not because the core dsig syntax (or perhaps some branch of it) is not sufficiently powerful to express document closure, but rather because the application designer did not express it properly. By analogy, the following C code snippet crashes char *P=NULL; ... *P = '\0'; The fact that C is a standard does not mean the application developer can't write bugs. What it means is that a committee and a larger community have come to a consensus that the language is sufficiently powerful to express all computer programs that fit the language design requirements. By comparison, XML DSig has requirement 3.1.3 stating the need to sign XML resources in totality or in part. To put it another way, we want to *securely sign partial and total XML resources*. Since application designers are able to define part of the language that is being signed (the keywords used by their brand of XML), our task is simply to provide mechanisms that allow secure signatures to be created regardless of the particular well-formed XML grammatical constructs that are selected by the application designer. Otherwise, we are deciding to sign a subset of well-formed XML and must go to the trouble of defining that subset and then considering whether the subset is sufficiently powerful to express the types of signatures that the community at large will need to create. Guaranteeing data integrity among communicating computers is only one application of digital signatures; a larger application to be considered should be the use of digital signatures in service of society, whose primary need for signatures is for documents. Finally, since any document that must be signed represents an agreement of some sort between two or more parties, it is reasonable to assume that no small fraction of these documents will require multiple overlapping signatures. As such, the notion of document closure would seem to be indispensable as a method of providing appropriate security for such documents.

Israeli teens face jail for refusing to join army
Dozens of Israeli teenagers face jail terms and blighted career prospects after declaring that they will not join the army because of its "war crimes" in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The mass act of conscientious objection is set out in a letter signed by around 70 senior secondary pupils, who are refusing to fulfil their legal obligation to enlist when they leave school.
"We, the undersigned, intend to refuse to serve in the army and the main reason is our opposition to the military occupation of Palestinian territories," the pupils write.
The letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Israeli forces of committing human rights abuses and war crimes on a daily basis, including assassinations, torture, and collective punishment.
All 18-year-olds are obliged to join the Israeli Defence Forces, although Arab citizens and ultra-Orthodox Jews can get exemptions.
The prime minister has not responded, but Yair Lapid, the Israeli finance minister and leader of the secular Yesh Atid, called the teenagers "pampered, wealthy youngsters" on his Facebook page.
Refusing to join the army does not automatically entail a jail sentence in Israel, where exemptions can be given to pacifists or on psychological grounds.
One of the signatories, Dafna Rothstein-Landman (17), said she would risk jail to challenge the popular Israeli view of army service as a patriotic rite of passage.
"The main purpose of the letter is to promote dialogue," she said. "We want to raise the question that is never asked – which is that serving in the military is seen as a matter of course." (© Daily Telegraph, London)

Nothing funny about secession petition
Published 5:36 pm, Monday, November 26, 2012
To the editor:
In an exercise of egregious bad taste, ("Online petition calls for Greenwich to secede," news story, Nov. 20), Greenwich Time lampoons a supposedly "tongue in cheek" attempt to petition Greenwich to secede from the United States. Is it any accident that this petition surfaces after the re-election of the first African-American president of the United States?
On the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, a war in which Greenwich residents fought and died, there is nothing remotely funny about this petition, which closely mimics other secessionist petitions currently circulating in Texas and other regions in the South. But judging by the flippant tone of the piece, GT evidently deems the whole exercise a magnificent joke. To wit, it quotes Fred Camillo, one of our elected state representatives from town, consulting his dog Leo on the advisability of signing the petition, before ultimately rejecting it ("we would not have enough time to raise an army").
Are your readers supposed to find this amusing?
To illustrate how seriously Mr. Camillo's party views secession, one need look no further than Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, who recently wrote that "secession is a deeply American principle. This country was born through secession." No, Congressman Paul, America was not "born through secession." The American colonies broke from England, but they did not "secede," at least not by any normal understanding of the word "secede." Indeed, our country fought a bloody civil war precisely because secession was NOT a "deeply held American principle," and that the slavery in secessionist states threatened the foundation of our union. Indeed, as even Mr. Camillo should know, we are a union, not, as Congressman Paul and his goofy neo-secessionists in Greenwich and elsewhere would have it, a voluntary association of individual states.
As James Madison wrote:
"The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my convictions is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pandora with her box opened; and the disguised one, as the Serpent creeping with his deadly wiles into Paradise."

Support research against pancreatic cancer
To the editor:
It is unacceptable in this day and age that there is a cancer for which the relative five-year survival rate is still in the single digits. It is particularly unacceptable when you consider that the overall five-year relative survival rate for all cancers is now 67 percent and the overall cancer incidence and death rates are declining, while the incidence and death rates for pancreatic cancer are increasing. Pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. by 2020, and possibly as early 2015. It has the lowest five-year survival rate of any major cancer, at just 6 percent. This year alone this terrible disease will claim the lives of 510 people who live in the state of Connecticut.
Pancreatic cancer patients and their loved ones cannot wait any longer. It is essential that we make research into pancreatic cancer a priority in this country so that real progress can be made toward better treatment options, early detection and a cure.
I am a volunteer for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in Connecticut, and am helping to accomplish that goal by requesting Awareness Proclamations from local cities and towns that recognize November as National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. The proclamations will raise awareness about this devastating disease and encourage our elected officials to make fighting pancreatic cancer a priority. We must support our fellow citizens who have been afflicted by this disease and advocate for greater awareness and more resources to fight pancreatic cancer.
Please visit www.pancan.org for further information on this insidious disease.
