Window Shopping
Replacing windows for an entire home can feel overwhelming. I hear advertisements for windows that claim to be manufactured specifically for the Northwest to protect a home from damage due to our weather conditions. Consumers often feel confused. Windows are NOT confusing; sales tactics are. The goal of this blog is to simplify purchasing of widows for the consumer and to give a couple of websites that consumers can go to for more information.
What do most consumers want when replacing windows?
1. Energy Savings (This is very boring to describe, all of the details for energy ratings will be on our KOMO website). Most windows are now Energy star rated http://www.energystar.gov/. Another rating system is the NFRC rating, which is the most accurate description for rating energy efficiency. The details will be on our web site http://www.nfrc.org/about.aspx. Double pane vs triple pane? The energy savings for double vs triple pane windows is nominal. On our web site there is a table to help the consumer compare the actual energy savings, vs the cost of the window.
Tami Michaels
2. Aesthetics People want an improvement in the overall look of their home. There are really only 4 types of window materials available.
Clad windows (vinyl covered aluminum)
Vinyl windows
When replacing windows simply ask yourself what you want your windows to look like? Cut out pictures of windows and shop for the look for your home. The bottom line is that the majority of in home window sales are pushing vinyl windows. Vinyl is the least expensive and least desirable from the aesthetics perspective.
3. Increased value to a home. My advice is to drive around the neighborhood and look at the windows in your neighborhood. Note: look AT the windows not IN the windows! lol
In my opinion there are many good choices for the consumer. Never feel pushed. There is not a window that is superior to all other windows. Consumers need to remember what their goals are and determine if a product meets their objectives.
Finally, you should be aware that the tax credit for window replacement is $1,500. http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=windows_doors.pr_taxcredits

One of the first things I did was get my flying skill for the old world and then IMMEDIATELY flew over to the house at the top of the huge waterfall near Stormwind (it's the flightpath between SW and IF).
There is a gnome sitting in the house and outside are a whole bunch of sheep. One of them is mechanical. A little cool thing happens when you attack it.

|Social Event Detection in Massive Mobile Phone Data Using Probabilistic Location Inference
|Vincent Traag1Arnaud Browet1Francesco Calabrese2Frédéric Morlot3, 4
|The unprecedented amount of data from mobile phones creates new possibilities to analyze various aspects of human behavior. Over the last few years, much effort has been devoted to studying the mobility patterns of humans. In this paper we will focus on unusually large gatherings of people, i.e. unusual social events. We introduce the methodology of detecting such social events in massive mobile phone data, based on a Bayesian location inference framework. More specifically, we also develop a framework for deciding who is attending an event. We demonstrate the method on a few examples. Finally, we discuss some possible future approaches for event detection, and some possible analyses of the detected social events.

Not useful? This is long, long overdue! Faction imbalance is the primary cause of long queue times for PvP. Allowing same-faction players to PvP against one another should help resolve this issue and lower queue times. Hopefully this will be extended to regular battlegrounds if it works out.

"The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling.
The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire."

Chaos broke out today as pro-Palestinian activists from Israel and abroad descended on Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. The activists from abroad were attempting to reach the West Bank. Reports and video from the scene indicate that Israeli activists leading chants were arrested, and police stood by as they were assaulted and spat on by others. Authorities also reportedly removed at least three credentialed journalists. The activists mounted the effort as a substitute for the failed flotilla to the blockaded Gaza Strip.

-->'''[[GameShowHost Alex Trebek]]:''' In the category of Know Your Tropes the members of [[ThisVeryWiki TV Tropes]] use this term for the biggest examples of humor they can find on a particular entity or series.\\
'''JustForFun/TropeTan:''' What are.......\\
'''Alex:''' Hurry.\\
'''Trope-Tan:''' Crowning Moments of Funny?\\
'''Alex:''' (''looks off-camera'') ...Crowning Moments of Funny or Funny Moments, yes. (''applause'') Well done, the True Daily Double paid off! Select again.
[[folder:In General...]]
* Any time the wording of the category means that calling it forms a funny sentence, such as "Let's go to Hell for $400, Alex".
* Any time a contestant [[LoopholeAbuse exploited]] the show's "credit so long as it's phrased in the form of a question" rule, such as Ken Jennings' "What be Ebonics?" (September 16, 2004).
** At some point, while "Who are The Who?" might have been the more properly-formed answer for a given question, someone answered with simply "Who?" and got credit.
** At least one contestant has omitted the "What is" before "''WhosAfraidOfVirginiaWoolf''" when that title has been given as a response.
* Any time two contestants ring in with incorrect responses to a three-answer multiple choice question, allowing the third player to provide the last remaining (correct) response.
* Any time sweeping a pop culture category causes Alex to comment that contestants [[YouWatchTooMuchX are wasting their lives]].
* Pretty much any time a contestant puts some thought into the clue, only to ring in with a [[WhatAnIdiot hilariously incorrect]] response.
* Every 'Before & After' category, ever.
** Plus any 'Rhyme Time' and 'Stupid Answers' category.
* Whenever a contestant who has no idea about the correct response in Final Jeopardy! writes (or draws!) [[SelfDeprecation that they don't know]].
* Any time Alex Trebek goes out of his way to lightly reprimand a contestant's wrong answer, e.g. "Yes, remember, each correct response must begin with the letters 'I-R' ".
[[folder:Art Fleming (1964-75, 1978-79)]]
* Circa 1972: Gene Shalit tackles a Daily Double in a...unique way. [[note]](Seen on the 1975 Creator/{{NBC}} GrandFinale, its origin is unknown and possibly destroyed.)[[/note]]
-->(''Audio Daily Double: NBC "In Living Color" music sting plays'')\\
'''Gene:''' Well, it ain't an [[Creator/{{CBS}} eye]]! That would be the very famous NBC Peacock.\\
'''Art:''' Question.\\
'''Gene:''' Has anybody around here seen the very famous NBC Peacock?\\
(''score increases as clip ends'')
* February 21, 1972: To celebrate the 2,000th show, Mel Brooks appeared as (rather aptly) the 2,000-Year-Old Man.
-->'''2,000-Year-Old Man:''' Two thousand years ago, we had this show. We had ''Jeopardy!''\\
'''Art:''' You had ''Jeopardy!'' two thousand years ago?!\\
'''2,000-Year-Old Man:''' Well, it wasn't this hippy-dappy-happy game you've got here.
[[folder:Alex Trebek (1984-Present)]]
* Date unknown: A contestant picks the last clue on the board and gives a correct response. Alex says, "Correct. Select again." without realizing it. Cue the confused contestant saying, "I can't, the board's empty."
* In general, any category where announcer Johnny Gilbert reads off lines from a work (usually songs) in a deliberate tone. Examples include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5NbDpYen00 Johnny Gilbert Does Shakespeare]] (January 13, 1999, with a rare Daily Double on the top row), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MsRw2x-NCg Johnny Gilbert Rocks]] (November 29, 1999), and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfi4l4Vrj0Q Johnny Gilbert Raps & Rocks On]] (October 7, 2008). You haven't lived until you've heard a man in his 80s deadpan his way through the likes of "Livin' la Vida Loca", "Hollaback Girl", and "I'm Too Sexy" with that Tidewater accent of his.
* From the show's debut on March 30, 1964 through July 18, 2003, a player could only win five times before they were forced to withdraw. On January 4, 2000, one four-time winner had a locked-up win on his last appearance, so for Final Jeopardy! he wrote as his response "What is Woo Hoo Yee Haw Yeah Baby". Alex read the answer in a deadpan tone, with a "WTF?" face the whole time.
* September 10, 1984: To say that the current version had a funny moment on the first episode, would be an understatement. Greg Hopkins, an energy demonstrator from Ohio, and the first winner on the show, with a total of $8,400, showed of such skills during the contestant interview. He took out a balloon to use as a Uranium atom, split it into two separate atoms, and flew them up in the air. Alex responded to this by saying "Greg, try and relax."
* September 20, 1984: A contestant rings in on the clue, "Number of blank tiles in a Scrabble set," and guesses ''36,'' causing the audience to go wild. Alex tells him, "I'm glad you haven't been playing Scrabble, I'm glad you've been playing Jeopardy!"[[note]](The correct response is "two.")[[/note]]
* November 21, 1985: During the first Tournament of Champions, Steve Rogitz accidentally reads the category "The U.N." as "The Un," causing the entire studio to laugh. Alex corrects him with mock anger and proceeds to read the clue while trying not to crack up.
* November 6, 1986: A funny answer that Trebek liked.
-->'''Alex:''' By the 4th century A.D., Rome had 28 public ones stacked with rolls of papyrus.\\
'''Gary:''' What are public toilets?\\
'''Alex:''' No, sorry.\\
'''Harvey:''' What are libraries?\\
'''Alex:''' Yes, but I kinda like Gary's answer for humor.
* Mid-1980s: This "Mythology" clue.
-->'''Alex:''' He gave his name to a class of snakes.\\
'''Contestant:''' Who was Herpes?[[note]](The correct response is "Python." The contestant was thinking of "herpetology.")[[/note]]
* November 19, 1986: An early example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar was this clue: "We don't know if Lois ever complained about him being 'faster than a speeding bullet.'"[[note]](The correct response is "Superman.")[[/note]]
* February 16, 1987: An answer that Alex seemed to agree with.
-->'''Alex:''' Ben Franklin said, "There was never a good war or a bad" 1 of these.\\
'''Contestant:''' What is a woman?\\
'''Alex:''' No, sorry. I like your thinking, though.[[note]](The correct response is "peace.")[[/note]]
* March 17, 1987: "Of 'Him', 'Her', 'You', & 'Me', the one never a top 40 hit." All three manage to ring in with the wrong three choices (Me, You, and Him, respectively).
* April 6, 1988: A contestant who admitted to not being comfortable with Audio Daily Doubles wagers $5 when he finds one but later wishes he had bet $10 when he immediately comes up with the correct response.
* November 2, 1988: Two moments.
** This exchange on a clue:
--->'''Alex''': For an upper GI you drink this; for a lower GI... well, we won't talk about that.\\
'''Eileen''': (''rings in'') What's a barium enema?\\
'''Alex''': (''{{Beat}}, followed by uncomfortable gibberish'') Hmm. No, we can't give you that, I'm sorry.\\
'''Alison''': (''rings in'') What is barium?\\
'''Alex''': Barium, yes. Uh, "For an upper GI, you drink" it. And uh, no matter how you (''all three contestants laugh'') I don't even want to explain it.
** Later, no one gives a correct response to a clue concerning the lyrics to "Red River Valley":
--->'''Alex:''' "Come and sit by my side if you love me." Phil, then we can do other things, of course.\\
'''Phil:''' Right, not with you, thank you.
* March 30, 1990: This interesting response.
-->'''Alex:''' It can be a spokesman, part of your phone or a protective rubber device worn by a boxer.\\
'''Contestant:''' What is a cup?[[note]](The correct response is "mouthpiece.")[[/note]]
* June 18, 1990: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2w72KAkQQ This]] montage of Trebek [[ClusterFBomb swearing like a sailor]] and drinking what appears to be alcohol (but is actually Diet Coke and a glass of water) while trying to shoot some ''Phone Jeopardy!'' promos.
-->'''Alex:''' There's a daily cash prize of $1,000 aaand [[PrecisionFStrike fuck!]]
** Another (repeatedly deleted from Website/YouTube) ''Phone Jeopardy!'' outtake reel ended with Alex saying "Tinker Bell" in a funny voice. When someone offstage reprimands him for the voice, he yells "Fuck 'em!"
* November 5, 1991: During the Tournament of Champions, quarter-finalist Andy Westney gets stumped by this Daily Double.
-->'''Alex:''' On Dec. 4, 1783 George Washington bade his officers farewell at this New York City tavern.\\
'''Andy:''' What is the...Whiskey A Go-Go?[[note]](The correct response is "Fraunces Tavern.")[[/note]]
* From Season 8 (1991-92), another one of Trebek's favorite answers.
-->'''Alex:''' George Bernard Shaw called this condition "the greatest of evils and the worst of crimes."\\
'''Contestant:''' What is marriage?[[note]](The correct response is "poverty.")[[/note]]
* October 26, 1992: On the first ever Celebrity Jeopardy! game, Alex interrupts the Jeopardy! round after eight clues to ask Regis Philbin to jump in on the game since he hasn't gotten a chance to ring in yet. Regis holds up his signaling button and yells, "Is this thing working!?" Regis finally gets a correct response after the first commercial break, resulting in cheers from the audience.
* October 30, 1992: Ed Begley, Jr. picks the first three clues of "The Environment," with Rosie O'Donnell giving a correct response to the third. She tries another category but when Ed gets a correct response on that, he goes back to "The Environment." Rosie: "Damn you!"
* January 19, 1993: Air Force Lt. Col. Darryl Scott wins with a score of $1.
* May 14, 1993: When no one rings in on a clue concerning the subtitle of En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)", Alex adds, "and you ''didn't'' get it."
* November 9, 1993: When Edward Asner fails to ring in on a clue before Pat Sajak.
-->'''Edward:''' I think my buzzer's not working.\\
'''Alex:''' My standard line in this kind of a situation is, "No, it's not the buzzer."\\
'''Pat:''' (''amidst audience laughter'') [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, jeez, the tension developing here!]]
* July 6, 1995: The answer: "Cape May, at the end of the Garden State Parkway in this state, is the USA's oldest seashore resort." The correct response, [[spoiler:New Jersey,]] happens to be the home state of two of the contestants but third player beats both of them to it.
* November 6, 1995: This exchange on a celebrity episode:
-->'''Lynn Redgrave:''' Why am I minus? Tell me, give me a good reason! I've been answering, I've been beeping. These beastly people [David Duchovny and Stephen King] next to me are not helping. They don't say, "After you, Lynn," like real gentlemen. What's the matter?\\
'''Alex:''' Does the word, "stupid," mean anything?
* September 6, 1996: Similar to the example from Season 8.
-->'''Alex:''' "Elbert Hubbard defined this as 'a monotonous interval between fights.'"\\
'''Contestant:''' What is marriage? (The correct response is "peace.")
* May 9, 1997: One particularly funny slip-up bordering on GettingCrapPastTheRadar, from the International Tournament:
-->'''Alex:''' If a Japanese ''isha'' (doctor) asks you to stick out your ''shita'', he means this.\\
'''Contestant:''' What is your...behind? [[note]](The correct response is "your tongue", a long way from your behind.)[[/note]]
* October 16, 1997: Johnny has just finished reading some promotional copy, and throws back to Alex. This exchange ensues:
-->'''Alex''': Thank you, Johnner. (''beat'') Johnner? Johnny.\\
'''Johnny''': (''laughs'')\\
'''Alex''': My tongue is not working today. However, let's see if I can get it to say what the Final Jeopardy! category is.\\
(''the board reveals "Famous Pairs"'')\\
'''Alex''': Famous Pores. We'll be back with the clue in a moment.
* February 13, 1998: The Tournament of Champions finals included professional humorist Bob Harris. Starting the second heat of the Finals with $0 because he missed the previous day's Final Jeopardy!, Harris was a source of SnarkBait for the rest of the show including at the very start. When Trebek tried to suggest a possible comeback and Harris replied "I don't need your pity!", Trebek countered by stating that while the other two players would have their scores from the day before cleared, Harris was already at $0 so they didn't need to clear his. "So much for pity."
* January 18, 1999: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTR6EDh0WMg Readings From Homer.]]" Creator/DanCastellaneta reading Creator/{{Homer}} in his [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] voice.
* January 13, 2000: A contestant during Double Jeopardy!
-->'''Lewis''': Um, Nymph-O-Mania for $200.\\

* May 16, 2000: During the Tournament of Champions, famous blind contestant Eddie Timanus responded "What are suckers?" to an answer of "P.T. Barnum's victims (7 letters)". The way he said it drew a ton of laughs from the audience, and Alex replied with "You didn't have to say it like that!"

When they [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD0vVZyfvW8 came back from commercial]], he corrected himself and said that it was actually titled ''The Wizard of '''Odds'''''.

* September 14, 2005: Unable to come up with a correct Final Jeopardy! response, John writes "Who is Jimmy [=McGuire=]?", one of the members of the Clue Crew. When Alex questions him on it, John replies that he's getting back at Jimmy for getting his name wrong during a contestant search.

** Cue the BrickJoke when Dave hits the other Daily Double later in the round. After he wagers $5,000, Alex quips "that'll buy a lot of vowels."

(Correct response: Who is [[spoiler:Michelangelo]]?)
* December 17, 2007: The returning champ gives a wrong response in the Most Populous Nation category, followed by the second contestant ringing-in to give the correct one.

(The correct answer was [[spoiler:Simon Cowell]], which the third contestant got right.)
* May 2, 2008: With two returning champ (due to a technical difficulty during the previous episode's Final Jeopardy!), the new contestant told a very long story with Alex getting noticeably less and less interested as she rambled on.

** Stefan was also the reigning champ in the "Liederkranz" episode, and still won despite an insane bet of $20,065 (from his $22,800). His opponents each finished Double Jeopardy! with ''$200''.
* June 23, 2010: The category "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te4E1cx2J44 Alex Trebek Meets Auto-Tune]]", which had him sing five traditional songs via said AutoTune. A few days later, Jimmy Kimmel made fun of it.
* December 16, 2010: "[[YourMom I'll take 'Your Momma' for $400, Alex.]]"
* One episode had this exchange:
-->'''Contestant:''' (''about an Algerian mother-in-law'') She was excited that I was going to be on ''Jeopardy!'' We had to explain it to her, though, they don't have ''Jeopardy!'' in Algeria.\\
'''Alex:''' Well, they probably do, but the stakes are much higher. (''audience laughter; Alex looks into camera'') I'm probably going to get mail for that one.
* February 14-16, 2011: [[ArtificialIntelligence Watson]]'s appearance on the show (against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the show's two biggest winners) was about research more than anything, but he still managed to generate a couple.
-->'''Alex:''' ...and Oreo cookies are introduced.\\
'''Ken:''' What are the '20s?\\
'''Alex:''' No. Watson?\\
'''Watson:''' What is 1920s?\\
'''Alex:''' No. Ken said that.
** This is actually a very important data point, as IBM forgot to tell Watson to discard an answer that's been verified by the host as incorrect. This is good to know, which was the ''point'' of this game.
** Watson got lucky with the Daily Double, getting them both in Double Jeopardy. His logic in wagering was...odd, to say the least.
--->'''Alex:''' What are you going to wager?\\
'''Watson:''' I'll wager six thousand, four hundred, thirty-five dollars. (''audience laughs'')\\
'''Alex:''' ... I won't ask. (''audience laughs harder'') I won't ask.
** Similar to the above, Watson provided a double whammy of funny when he not only gave the wrong answer in Final Jeopardy!, but had wagered an extremely small amount of money in an odd numbers figure:
--->(''Category: US Cities; Clue: "Its largest airport is named for a WorldWarII hero; its second largest for a World War II battle." {[[spoiler:Correct reponse is, "What is UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}?"]]}'')\\
'''Watson:''' (''response'') "What is Toronto????" (''audience mumbles in shock'')\\
'''Alex:''' What is Toronto, with a lot of question marks, which means, of course, that Watson had many many doubts. And the wager, how much are you gonna lose? (''Watson's wager appears a mere $947, causing the audience to laugh'') Oh, you sneak!
** At the end of the IBM Challenge, Watson took the lead once again all the way into Final Jeopardy. When Ken Jennings revealed his answer, he wrote an extra side note in parentheses that got the audience laughing - "[[TheSimpsons I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords.]]"
** In Watson's early days when it was still being built, it was slow and prone to giving some funny (but wrong) responses:
--->'''Clue:''' In 1994, 25 years after this event, one participant said "For one crowning moment, we were creatures of the cosmic ocean." [[note]](What is the Apollo 11 moon landing?)[[/note]]\\
'''Watson:''' What is the Big Bang?\\
'''Clue:''' Give a Brit a tinkle when you get into town and you've done this. [[note]](What is call them on the phone?)[[/note]]\\
'''Watson:''' What is [[UrineTrouble urinate]]?\\
'''Clue:''' This Frenchman was "The Father of Bacteriology". [[note]](Who was Louis Pasteur?)[[/note]]\\
'''Watson:''' What is HowTastyWasMyLittleFrenchman?
* March 3, 2011: An epic GettingCrapPastTheRadar exchange in the category "Starts with a Body Part":
-->'''Alex:''' The fur of this rodent, seen here, is said to be 30 times softer than human hair.\\
'''Contestant:''' What is a titmouse? (''looks offstage and laughs'') I'm sorry!
* June 15, 2011: "Ruta Lee and Elaine Stewart rolled the giant dice on this game show. Whatever happened to that debonair fellow?" Cue pic of Trebek on the [[spoiler:''HighRollers'']] set, audience laughter at Alex's ad-lib, then groans when nobody rings in.
-->'''Alex:''' [[SarcasmMode Thanks a lot, guys.]]
* One contestant wagered an even amount plus $20 on the Daily Double. Alex asked why, to which the player responded that he had lost $20 during the trip to California and promised his wife that he would get it back during the game. He lost the Daily Double, but going into Final Jeopardy! had the correct response with a wager of...$20.
* July 8, 2011: Twelve-year old Maddie Harrington rings in with an incorrect response to a clue and mumbles, "Crap!" loud enough for Alex to hear. He quips, "Yeah, I get upset too, Maddie. Believe me. Same reaction."
* November 3, 2011: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFDvg6122Ls Kara has obviously had much more experience than I.]]"
* November 4, 2011: Early in a Tournament of Champions, after two rounds of being [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by Joon Pahk, all John Krizel could write down for Final Jeopardy! was "What is I have '''no''' idea?"...while Tom Kunzen's answer consisted of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh-D0bVZaO8&t=8m48s just a rage face]] ([[http://www.reddit.com/tb/m0wjq and he even made a strip about it!]]). (Joon, of course, gave the right answer.)
* January 2, 2012: After nobody rings in on the final answer of Jeopardy! Round, Alex unknowingly says "Pick again," leading to this:
-->'''Judge:''' (''off-screen'') We're out...\\
'''Alex:''' Oh, we're out? Okay.\\
(''audience laughs'')\\
'''Contestant:''' I'll go more Super Bowl questions[[note]]One of the categories was "The Super Bowl's Top Rusher"[[/note]].\\
(''audience laughs harder'')\\
'''Alex:''' You want more Super Bowl clues? All right. (''audience continues laughing'') We'll take a break. We'll come back to start Double Jeopardy! after this. It went too fast.
* January 16, 2012: One question in the category "Punch" dealt with the name of the animal used in the name of a punch to the back of the neck. The correct answer was a "Rabbit" punch, but the first contestant answered...[[UrbanDictionary "Donkey"]].
* February 21, 2012: Unable to come up with the correct response on a Daily Double regarding an act of Congress, the contestant says "What is the I Just Lost $3,000 Act?"
* February 22, 2012: One category involved Johnny Gilbert reciting famous phrases beginning with "This is...", all in the style of the show's iconic "'''''This'''''... is... ''Jeopardy!''" intro. Of course, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1vP_vAP6mg one of them]] was "[[Film/ThreeHundred This! IS! SPARTA!]]"
* February 28, 2012: From a contestant, "You better check yourself before you Trebek yourself."
* March 7, 2012: A category is "Lyrics of the Artist", so we get to hear Alex read [[{{Rihanna}} Umbrella]] and [[JustinTimberlake Sexy Back]].
* March 14, 2012: Contestant hits a Daily Double. Since he has less than the maximum value of a clue ($2,000), Alex lets him know that he can wager up to that amount. His response? "Well, in case I never get the chance, let's go $2,000." Later, another contestant uncovers the other Daily Double and says "[[IronicEcho Just in case I don't get a chance to say this $5.]]" $5 has been the minimum wager since 1964.
* April 3, 2012: The first two interviews. Joey says that he was in a rock band whose name he "can't even say on television", and that the "holes we cut strategically in our pants" ensured that the band only lasted one day. Then Tamara says that while in high school, she would sometimes dress as the school's panther mascot: "One of the seniors noticed, 'oh my God, she has boobs!' and yelled it to everyone..." (Insert FurryFandom joke of your choice here.)

* May 15, 2012: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTrI-_5Xh-A Kareem Abdul-Jabbar strikes again.]] "The 5 movie ratings in the U.S. are NC-17, R, PG, PG-13 & this one." "What is X?" Cue so much audience laughter that nobody else gets a chance to ring in, followed by Alex quipping "This is a family show!" [[note]](While X was once an MPAA rating, it was changed to NC-17 in 1990 to avoid confusion with pornography. The fifth rating is, of course, [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating the dreaded G rating]].[[/note]]
* July 12, 2012: Alex [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqESiuNPixM interviews]] a contestant who said that she once had a pygmy goat who met his demise by eating a bag of Quikcrete, which got the audience laughing. Alex asked whether it was a 60 or 80 pound bag. She replied sarcastically, "You're being insensitive!" Cue Alex cracking up and declining to interview the champion, saying "I don't wanna talk to you!"
* July 13, 2012: Alex has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm4jRX7ge0w too much fun]] using a bullhorn to deliver a clue.
* October 2, 2012: Final Jeopardy! is "OED's earliest citation of this 5-word phrase is 'Now, Monsieur Poirot, you would without doubt like to visit' this place." Contestant Daniel's response? "What is the bathroom?"
* November 2, 2012: After giving a correct response of "What is love?", Paul Nelson sneaks in "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_Love_%28Haddaway_song%29 baby, don't hurt me.]]"

* February 6, 2013: The categories for the Jeopardy! round are [[Music/CarlyRaeJepsen "Hey, I Just Met You", "This Is Crazy", "But Here's My Number", "So Call Me", "May "B""]], and [[LampshadeHanging "Yeah, We Went There"]].

* February 21, 2013: A contestant in the Tournament of Champions, who had previously called Trebek "the Devil" on account of his tempting her to risk everything on a Daily Double, announced that she brought him a pitchfork "in case you don't have one already." Cue humorous AsideGlance from Trebek.

** 1980s Alex looking and acting a whole lot like he did on ''HighRollers''.
** 1990s Alex initially holds the 1980s cell phone while talking about the voting, which seems to get him agitated. Shades of the profanity-laced ''Phone Jeopardy!'' promo shoot, perhaps?
--->"Why is it the wrong phone? It's a big phone. Big, ugly, heavy phone."\\

"We still rolling?"\\
(''a bit later'')\\

May 2, 2012
I returned to Luther a few days ago after a weekend of planning in New Orleans for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America National Youth Gathering! I am on a team leading the Gathering Volunteer Corps, a group of 250 individuals willing to help during the five days of the Gathering. Over 33,000 Lutheran youth and chaperones have signed up to journey to New Orleans for a few days of fellowship, service and a good time. I attended the Gathering in 2009 (it happens every three years) and it was a life-changing experience. This year, I will get to lead a team of 30 volunteers while I am there, and I am so excited to serve!
Over the weekend, it was my team's job to assign volunteers to groups that will work at the Convention Center and the Dome, where most of the events take place. It was a long day of planning on Saturday, but I felt so productive by the end. Getting to know the members of my team was also essential, as we will be working together for the next few months. Our team is the most diverse in both age and location among the planning teams for the Gathering, making it a unique experience!
On Sunday, a few of us were able to go to the historical French Quarter, classic New Orleans. This part of the city holds Cafe du Monde, home to beignets and coffee. Beignets, if you are not fortunate enough to have had this heavenly food, are fried pastries HEAPED in powdered sugar. Don't wear dark clothes, you will be covered in a powdery white cloud of goodness. Next, we headed to the French Market where we dined on raw oysters and fried dill pickles. I know, I have quite the palette.
After that, it was time to return to the reality of school and looming final exams. Though it was a quick trip, I am thrilled to continue work on this project for the next few months!

Doldrums nearly live up to their name in "Egypt"
Maybe it's the Young Magic remix part of this song that just doesn't do it for me, but I'm left wanting something bigger, yet raw and unpolished.
Really most of this seemed more like my own personal bizzaro-world elevator music when it could have been something so much better.
On another much more pathetic note, when did it become "in" or "hip" to spam the comments of somebody else's Soundcloud song. Big time fail Instant Rage.

Lindsay Lohan could go to jail without even having a trial. Why? It seems that even the charges of theft while under probation could land Lindsay in jail, whether she did it or not. It seems that the DA is weighing its options on whether or not to charge Lindsay with petty theft, because she'd go to jail anyway.
It seems that Lindsay has just had one big legal mess after another! That little necklace she liked is probably getting her in to way more trouble than she realized!
Prosecutor Danette Meyers could go back to court and ask the judge to violate Lindsay's DUI probation … on grounds she stole the necklace.
The judge in the probation case could then hold a hearing — without a jury — to determine if Lindsay did indeed pilfer the jewelry.
Now here's the big problem for Lindsay. In a criminal case, the D.A. must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt — in other words, convincing a jury that there's a 98 to 99% chance that she did the deed.
But in a probation violation case, all the judge has to decide is that it's more likely than not that she stole the jewelry — in other words, that there's a 50.1% chance she did it.
Ouch. Do you think someone will finally have mercy on Lindsay and just let it go? Or is that part of the problem – too many people have let her go for too long?

California may have shot at 2nd Tesla Gigafactory
Nevada may have won the competition to host Tesla Motors' $5 billion "Gigafactory" for making advanced batteries, with a formal announcement expected at 4 p.m. Thursday.

« Doing well at New Hampshire is helpful but not necessary for Chasers | Main | Junior's crash, NASCAR's debris cautions and a Hendrick win make for predictable Chase opener »
By admin | September 19, 2009
By Richard Allen
Pat Tryson has announced he will leave his job as crew chief for Kurt Busch's #2 team at the end of the 2009 season. The timing of the announcement was a bit curious considering Tryson intends to stay with the Penske Racing South organization through the end of the season. Since the job he is going to will still be there for him whether he announced his intentions or not, it seems as though it could be detrimental to his current team's chances of winning the Chase for the Championship by going ahead with the announcement of his plans.
Busch labeled the timing of Tryson's announcement as unfortunate.
Listening to the chatter between drivers and their crews is one of the most interesting things a fan can do when at the races or when using the TrackPass feature on NASCAR.com. However, one down side to such eavesdropping is that the true personalities of the drivers and crews is revealed in that chatter more so than when only relying on television interviews for such analysis.
There are several drivers who, at best, are hard to listen to due to their constant whining and verbal abuse that is heaped upon their crews. Kurt Busch, among numerous others, is one of those drivers to be particularly abusive toward his crew.
Busch's verbal tirades go well beyond constructive criticism and border on Bobby Knight style name calling and accusations.
Tryson says that his leaving the Penske operation is not on account of Busch. Anyone who has ever listened to that team's scanner talk would likely not blame him if it were.
Perhaps Tryson really is leaving because he has grown tired of babysitting Busch. Or, perhaps he is leaving because he believes he has truly found a better opportunity.
However, the real lesson here should be learned by Busch. If he runs off good crew chiefs then he will find he will have much more to complain about in the future as his team has to find someone to take the job who will be willing to take all the harsh criticism. That person may not necessarily be the best at setting his car up.
Busch says he wants Tryson to remain on top of the race day pit box despite the fact that the crew chief has essentially been locked out of the Penske shop. This will make for a truly odd situation for the rest of the season.

Roger Penske should fire Kurt Busch immediately after the season ender at Homestead. Actually, he should have fired him the instant Kurt dissed on Roger on the radio during a race(remember the "10-4 captain, whatever dude" exchange?) While Penske's cup program may not be as successful as his other ventures, Roger is one of if not the most succesful racing organizations when you factor in all the different leagues and classes of cars he fields in many different divisions, That to me is larger measure of success than a Papa Rick stock car only trophy case even though that has it's place in the success category as well. But Kurt Busch can be all smiles(lipstick on a pig) in front of cameras, but his ugliness and disrespect on the radio towards everyone in on his team is unacceptable. Both Busch boys need to be taught the lessons of humility and respect.
Obviously Rich you don't know what your talking about. It was stated that the only reason why Pat stayed till the end of the season was becuase of Kurt. So get your story straight!!!

Estimating Self-Sustainability in Peer-to-Peer Swarming Systems
Daniel S. Menasche, Antonio A. A. Rocha, Edmundo A. de Souza e Silva, Rosa M. Leao, Don Towsley, Arun Venkataramani
(Submitted on 2 Apr 2010 (v1), revised 6 Apr 2010 (this version, v2), latest version 9 Aug 2010 (v3))
Peer-to-peer swarming is one of the de facto solutions for distributed content dissemination in today's Internet. By leveraging resources provided by clients, swarming systems reduce the load on and costs to publishers. However, there is a limit to how much cost savings can be gained from swarming; for example, for unpopular content peers will always depend on the publisher in order to complete their downloads. In this paper, we investigate such a dependence of peers on a publisher. For this purpose, we propose a new metric, namely swarm self-sustainability. A swarm is referred to as self-sustaining if all its blocks are collectively held by peers; the self-sustainability of a swarm is the fraction of time in which the swarm is self-sustaining. We pose the following question: how does the self-sustainability of a swarm vary as a function of content popularity, the service capacity of the users, and the size of the file? We present a model to answer the posed question. We then propose efficient solution methods to compute self-sustainability. The accuracy of our estimates is validated against simulations. Finally, we also provide closed-form expressions for the fraction of time that a given number of blocks is collectively held by peers.

Owls?2 Reviews
Tis chapter three. See chapter one for a summary.
Chapter 3 - Owls?
Three days later, as Harry was weeding the back garden of Number 4, Privet Drive, Harry noticed an owl flying in his direction.
I thought owls were nocturnal. Wait, this one has something tied to its leg. Oh, hello, that looks like a letter.
The Owl landed next to Harry and stuck out it's leg, obviously wanting Harry to remove the letter. Removing it, Harry noticed the same seal as the one from several days before. Opening it, he read:
Dear Mr. Potter
We have not received a reply to your Acceptance letter, and hope you will reply with your decision as soon as possible.
Minerva McGonagall
Transfiguration Professor, Deputy Headmistress, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
In addition to this, there was another copy of the letter he had incinerated the night before. Curiosity piqued, he went to his cupboard and pulled out his school supplies, and penned a response.
Dear Professor McGonagall
I did receive your acceptance letter, but disposed of it out of hand, thinking it was a practical joke of some kind. If this is a legitimate school, you will have to do a better job of explaining it to people than "You have been accepted". I currently have no idea what exactly Hogwarts is, beside a school of "Witchcraft and Wizardry", assuming such things even exist. If this school actually exists I would appreciate someone explaining in greater detail what attending will entail.
Harry Potter
Hurrying back outside, past the glaring visages of his Aunt and Uncle, he saw to his relief that the owl was still there, seemingly waiting for him to attach a reply. Doing so, and trying not to think how foolish this all seemed, he watched as the own looked at him one more, and took off, flying north. Harry went back to the garden, unaware of the events that would begin to unfold as a result of that letter.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – For the second time in three weeks, sophomore goalie Greg Havlachak (Corning, NY) has been named the ECAC Defensive Player of the Week, the league office announced today.
Havalchak earned the award for his performance in Rutgers' 14-10 victory over fourth-ranked Syracuse on April 17. He was spectacular in goal, stopping 21 shots, including 10 in the fourth quarter as SU attempted to overcome a 12-5 second-half deficit. The Orangemen entered the game as the nation's top scoring offense, averaging 14.6 goals per game. Led by Havalchak, Rutgers held them to their second-lowest offensive output of the season and contained three-time All-American Michael Powell, who finished with just four points.
Saturday's game marked the third time this season Havalchak has amassed 20 or more saves. He stopped a career-high 22 shots in the season-opener against Dartmouth on Feb. 28 and also made 20 saves in a 7-6 triple-overtime win against Farifield on April 1.
The reigning ECAC Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, Havalchak currently leads the conference in save percentage (.660), saves (132) and goals-against average (6.85). Nationally, he ranks fourth in goals-against average and third in save percentage.
Following its second consecutive victory over Syracuse, Rutgers (7-3) moved up six spots in the USILA Poll to No. 9.
The Scarlet Knights return to action on Saturday, April 24, when they travel to State College, PA, to open ECAC play against Penn State at noon.

Cost of the vaccines is $27 for a flu shot; $33 for Flu mist; and $70 for Pneumonia. If payment is received at the clinic, prices are $3 less.
On Friday, Sept. 16, nine POWs from Iowa and surrounding states visited Solon High School in honor of POW/MIA Recognition Day. The POWs shared their stories to the ninth grade U.S. history classes about their wartime experiences. The event was held in the media center and lunch was then provided and the students were able to talk further with the veterans. Solon's 5th Street Jazz and the freshman band provided music for the event.
Volunteering in a school is a valuable and rewarding experience. Volunteers can help as their schedules allow. Our school has opportunities that are scheduled regularly each week, short-term projects, as well as needs to help with the various events and activities throughout the school year.
Coaching Positions:
9th Boys Basketball Coach
HS Wrestling Cheer Coach
MS Wrestling Coach
Please submit to the SCSD Central Office a classified staff application form found on our web site or contact the Central Office at 624-3401 x1349. All positions are open until filled.
Solon High School will present the acclaimed Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" Nov. 10-13 in the Solon Community School District Auditorium. Show times are at 7 p.m., Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
This year, we are excited to offer reserved seating. Ticket prices are $6, $9, and $12 depending on the seat location and all levels may be reserved in advance of the show. Reserved tickets may be purchased in the high school commons on one of the following dates:
• Oct. 29, 8-10 a.m.;
• Nov. 1, 3, & 8, 5-7p.m.;
• November 9, 4-6 p.m.
MOUNT VERNON– The Lady Spartans have one more game for the title.
Solon's varsity volleyball paid back a debt to the Mount Vernon Mustangs last week and will face sixth-ranked West Delaware for the WaMaC East championship.
The Lady Spartans thumped Mount Vernon last Tuesday, Sept. 27, in Mount Vernon, 25-15, 25-12, 25-16. It was the first time Solon has defeated the Mustangs in four years, including some postseason games which prevented the Lady Spartans from advancing to the state tournament.
SOLON– Former Lady Spartan Quinn Morelock is the first of Solon's female softball players to receive a top honor.
The outfielder totes statistics that are just one and two points short of breaking state records and others that exemplify her exceptional high school and softball career.
A highlight of her achievements includes a .502 batting average and a slugging percentage of 1.057, a five-year letter winner recipient and a Gatorade Team Player of the Year in 2005.
TAMA– Since the loss to Iowa City Regina in the second week of the season, the Solon Spartans have been taking care of business on the football field.
Friday night, the Spartans rolled up a 35-7 halftime lead against South Tama and were able to hang on comfortably for a 42-20 win.
Austin Dall started the scoring with a 30-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, but Solon only led 14-7 after the first quarter, thanks to an 88-yard kickoff return by Jordan Wymer.
WILLIAMSBURG– Solon's Lauren Benzing and Alex Smith were the one-two punch as the Spartan girls rolled at the six-team Williamsburg Invitational, Sept. 26. In the boys' race, Turner Wentzien was fourth– his top finish of the year– to lead his teammates to their half of a Solon twin-win.
Heading into their last two regular season meets this week– IMS at Wellman was scheduled for this past Monday, and North Linn on Saturday– the Spartans also eye the postseason. The WaMaC Conference meet is Oct. 13. And, the long-awaited state-qualifying assignments came out Monday.
JOHNSON COUNTY– On Aug. 4, Johnson County supervisors gave the green light to a new ordinance that allows commercial wind farms.
PNE Wind, which consulted on the ordinance with the county planning and zoning department, is currently negotiating leases with property owners between Solon and Morse. The proposed 30-megawatt farm will have about 20 turbines stretching across 3,000 acres.

Analysis: Federal pay freeze vote to put pressure on payroll tax extension talks
Wednesday - 2/1/2012, 11:09am EST
"This is not the thing to be looking at," said Pete Kasperowicz, a reporter with The Hill newspaper, referring to the vote on H.R. 3835. "What [House Republicans] are trying to do is build pressure on that conference to agree to the pay freeze."
Last year, Congress agreed to a two-month extension of the payroll tax holiday. That extension expires at the end of this month.
In a bill to extend the holiday for a full year, the House had voted for an additional year of the federal pay freeze, as well as increased contributions to federal retirement benefits.
The bill the House is taking up today also includes freezing pay for members of Congress.
In an interview with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Kasperowicz said today's vote is "a little bit of gamesmanship."
The House will vote on the bill using a suspension vote, requiring a two-thirds majority to pass, he added.
Kasperowicz said he sees a division within the Republican Party — particularly between long-term lawmakers and the new-comers, who came into office because they are "essentially at war fiscally with the federal government and all things federal, the workers, what are they paid, what are their benefits."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The federal government has given preliminary approval to some – but not all – of the proposed cuts in Wisconsin's government health programs for the poor and the elderly.
It also raises the possibility that 53,000 childless adults could be dropped from the state's BadgerCare Plus health plan in the New Year.
Cindy Mann of the federal Center for Medicaid wrote state officials Friday, saying it was okay to raise adult premiums on BadgerCare Plus if certain conditions are met. But some of the other cuts sought by state officials will not get a federal decision until after the first of the year.
She did not know when those rulings might be made.
Stephanie Smiley of the state Health Services Department said her agency needs to look at what the federal government ordered Friday, and then come up with a plan.
Among other things, the state proposed that over 200,000 Medicaid recipients in Wisconsin be moved to less expensive plans.
The cuts were designed to eliminate a large deficit in the state's Medicaid budget.
