Harvey County Commissioners had a full agenda Monday at their final meeting of the year, wrapping up several issues discussed in 2012.Commissioners authorized county staff to move forward with a project to replace the county's current phone and voicemail system. About $30,000 has been budgeted for the project.Anthony Swartzendruber, assistant administrator and finance director for the county, said the current system is nearing the end of its useful life, and he believes it would be more cost-effective to purchase a new system rather than to keep making repairs to the old one.The county plans to use existing phone lines and telephones when possible.Commissioners also discussed a lease agreement with WWCP Investments LLC at Monday's meeting.Harvey County Commissioners previously discussed an agreement that would enable the county and the city of Newton to split the cost of leasing a building to store law enforcement and emergency response vehicles and equipment.The 4,252 square-foot building, which is at 311 S. Meridian, Suite B, in Newton, will be leased from WWCP Investments LLC, and the lease will jointly be paid by the city of Newton and Harvey County.The monthly payment originally was $921.84, but the building's increased square footage has increased the rent slightly to $935, with an additional $121.84 for property tax. The city and county each will pay $528.42 a month.Officials recommended leasing the building due to concerns exposure to the sun and weather could deteriorate vehicles or equipment currently stored outside. There also were concerns about the security of vehicles being stored outside; fuel could be stolen from the units, or the units could be broken into.The lease will be finalized at a future meeting.Other businessAt the meeting, Jan Jones, executive director of the Harvey County Safe House, announced there would be a town hall meeting on domestic and sexual violence in Harvey County from noon to 1:30 p.m. Jan. 8 in the Newton City Commission Chambers.State representatives have been invited to attend the meeting, and the Domestic Violence Response Team of Harvey County also will be present.The meeting is open to the community. Drinks will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch.Also at the meeting, commissioners approved a resolution changing the rates for the Harvey County Transfer Station and Construction and Demolition Landfill, effective Jan. 1, 2013.Municipal solid waste fees will be increasing by $2. County staff said the increased fees will compensate for an increase in fees for the Reno County landfill, where Harvey County transports its trash.

contrary to my earlier suggestion of having all 3 , i think i'll vote for the first logo.
What is the link now then?
As soon as its decided I can set it as that as opposed to that lovely *chokes* FM2009 logo
www.footballmanagerwiki.co.uk where it shall remain.
I liked the first one.
The new link works fine now.
I suggest logo 1.
I've popped a version of logo 1 in to the logo space for now. It may be an idea for somebody who is a bit better with graphics than myself to enlarge the image slightly if it appears that the logo is too small
Yeah, too small atm imo. Maybe Neji can make it a bit bigger for us?
I agree, it's too small. I'll try & resize it myself now.
Having trouble re-sizing it myself as well. I'll ask Neji & jod about it, hopefully either one of them will offer some help.
I'm here now. Well done. Everyone has done really well with all their contributions.
I see you took the first logo as the one. I'll try and resize it if you want.
What size do we need?
The biggest we can imo.
Is the Steve Collis page OK or would more information be needed over his career?
I would add something about his career tbh, like history.
Also, I would put something about him in Football Manager. Like stats, coach reports...
It's a FM site, so it should have FM related info on every page imo.
How do I do like coding in this forum for his stats?
Yes mate. It would be easier for career stats.
To create a table have a look here.
If you have any trouble, let me know.
Also I edited the attributes article. I hope you don't mind pnefc. I am putting in an explanation for each attribute.
Cheers mate. Sorted the table for Collis' career.
I've resized the image for you, this is 148x124.
Done the player pages for Danny Woodards and Dennis Lawrence. Very good logo Neji.
Fantastic work again lads, this is really a great project
Have a look at the help page on the wiki, if you want to figure out how to do something like tables, images, create templates or anything. There is a link to the media wiki user guide on it. I also restructured rancer's MLS guide, expanded the attributes guide and other edits.
Thanks jod.
How do I do that?
I'll do it for you, but for future reference just put [[ ]] around the player name. Make sure the player name is the same as the name of the page.
Cheers. Will do that from now on.
Just to add, if it is not the same as the name then just put [[Article name|text you want to show here]]
Will we be doing the same for managers/non-playing staff?
OK guys, I've put up a basic training article, which of course will need to be expanded in the future.
One part is wrong, so I corrected it:
It was:
It is now:For each of these areas is a slider, with 5 bands:
- None
- Light
- Medium
- High
- Intensive
Other than that looks goodFor each of these areas is a slider, with 6 bands:
- None
- Very Light
- Light
- Medium
- Heavy
- Very Heavy
Who got rid of the United States article I made, and replaced it with the America one? That's not my ip...
Put Rancer's article back
I will do I meant
I see it there :confused:
I never moved it, I just see it there, under 'major league soccer'
You could not have rancer as if it was deleted there would still be a record of it's deletion. If it was moved then there would be a redirect.
So what has happened then? I'm confused.
Can you rename the article as least?
I can't find the redirect when I type 'United States'.
Moving it is renaming it. What do you want the article called? United States
I've done a redirection so USA also goes to that page.
American National Team
The United States National Team is controlled by the United States Soccer Federation. Football has won popularity at the Unites States since 1970s and the national team has become one of the most important forces in CONCACAF and has appeared in the last five FIFA World Cups.
(more to be added later)
Isn't this it rancer?
Who has changed the Newcastle page? Someone has got rid of the Disclaimer at the bottom, can whoever it was not do it again please?
EDIT: It's worse, too. Loads taken out, such as tactics suggestions and recommended improvements. Would anyone mind if I undo all changes?

It was Orion who changed it I think, as this is taken from the log.
Can someone change it back to what I did originally please? I can't work out how to do it
I'm quite annoyed about this actually, parts of NUFCSean's work have been used but the disclaimer has been deleted.
It was not Orion as I just checked. It was an unregistered user that removed those things.
Want me to put it back?
toIn my opinion the squad could do with 5 or 6 more quality players to be considered as a top 6 contending team. The positions that need strengthening are left back, centre back, centre midfield, both wings and up front.
I feel a left back is needed as although Enrique is strong and solid, he just isnt up to scratch technique-wise, therefore the new player should be good enough to be first choice.
Possible Targets: Manuel Pasqual (Fiorentina), Taye Taiwo (Marseille), Razvan Rat (Shakhtar)
The new centre back would provide cover and rotation for the current partnership of Coloccini and Taylor, which I believe will be a pretty good duo at the back.
Possible Targets: Christopher Samba (Blackburn), Guy Demel (HSV), Mirel Radoi (Steaua)
Centre midfield needs a creative spark, as all but one (Ignacio Gonzalez) of the current crop are more defensive minded. Therefore a creative attacking player is required here to partner one of the defensive players.
Possible Targets: Alex (Internacional), Juan Roman Riquelme (Boca), Diego Buonanotte (River), Douglas Costa (Gremio)
Cover is needed for both wings as there is no natural right winger other than Jonas, and I feel Duff isnt good enough to cover for NZogbia. I would suggest bringing in a more experienced player on the left, and a younger player for the right.
Possible Targets: Alessandro Rosina (Torino), Cani (Villarreal), Juan Arango (Mallorca), Francois Clerc (Lyon), Marko Babic (Betis)
Finally I feel we need another good striker to rotate with Owen and Martins, as Viduka, in my opinion, is past it and should only be used sparingly and I dont feel Xisco will ever become anything special. The new man should be tall, strong and good in the air, ala Adebayor at Arsenal.
Possible Targets: Stephen Ayodele Makinwa (Lazio), Kevin Doyle (Reading), Soren Larsen (Toulouse), Maroune Chamakh (Bordeaux), Marco Borriello (A.C Milan)
On the selling front, I would look to sell Cacapa, Alan Smith, Mark Viduka, and depending on your singings, also sell Damien Duff.
I'd appriciate it if you could change it back. Thanks* Cacapa: Not premiership standard
* Alan Smith: Not premiership standard, Injury prone, high wages for a roation player (42k a week)
* Mark Viduka: Old, Injury Prone, High wages (60k a week)
* Damien Duff: High wages for a backup left winger (65k a week)
* Michael Owen: Injury Prone, High Wages (125k a week)
* Shola Ameobi: Not premiership standard
* Nicky Butt: Ageing, Can provide cover for 2 seasons or so.
* Geremi: Ageing, although can provide cover for another season or so.
Oh, does it not come up in the log if an unregistered user doees it.
No, not imo. He might have been trying to improve it.
Warnings should only be for people who set out to spam/ruin work, and I don't think this was his intention.
Okay, maybe I was being a bit harsh I just thought he was trying to be a smart arse at first glance.
I left some of his edits in as well as they are good contributions in my opinion. I just put back what arsenal said above and also put back in the credits.
How do you spell edios?
CaptainPlanet has created an account by the way, if you are going to give him admin rights.
I thought I knew but just in case
Woops, I just realised that in the SI article there is already information over the split, and I just made one(well...no two thanks to someone ) articles about it.
They were both half-articles actually and now one of them is a redirect and the other one is a half-article.
If you want, I can develop it significantly.
There is lots more information to put in there.
I have school tomorrow morning and I havn't slept much during the holidays, so I am going to play a bit of GTA in bed and then, to sleep.
Keep up the good work guys.
I won't be doing much work on the site over the next couple of days due to having 3 pieces of coursework, for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but after then, I will do lots and get back to my current workload.
BTW, I expect 200 articles by Thursday Good luck.
Sleep? It's only 4pm.
G'night rob.
I'll resume some editing after I finish up an essay outline and a presentation outline, which my presentation is due Wednesday, and the essay a week after.
Hope to finish both in the next couple hours though, leaving me time to edit my articles.
Yeah, fine. How did you do that, out of interest?
It's Mahamadou Diarra, tho Could probably shortern it to something more, normal, than Mamou.
It looks a bit better now I think.
Still would prefer to know how to create a template for it rather than having to create images and upload it everytime.
My edits to the article were merely building upon Seans work already posted on the wiki, boldening some things to make it easier on the eyes and adding additional information and advice to readers.
I thought the article i left was a pretty neat and tidy one, i don't see why you need to add in that load of player targets as some of them were based on FM08 such as Sean saying to sell Enrique who is decent enough on FM09 and some of the advice given is flawed such as reccomending 10M+ players to buy on a 6M budget. A few more deficiences i thought are found in the reccomended formation and line up, tactical advice was given which i thought was not too helpful and of no use whatsoever (basically saying use 4-4-2 with quick direct passing) so removed.
Overall i thought the article was alot easier to read, gave good sound advice and let the reader decide on what tactics to use.
(The unregistered IP address was mine, i forgot to log in before editing again!)
Oh, and uhhh why would i deserve a warning? I won't edit anything anymore if thats what you want ;S
Last edited by Orion Dean; 22-02-2009 at 21:46.
Actually I am going to remove that pitch because nobody can edit the team without downloading that image, editing it and then reuploading.
Just thinking should the 'How to get the best out of your Assistant Manager' atricle be renamed to just 'Assistant Manager'?
what is a 'stub'? :confused:
i was just asking because one of my articles is now a 'stub' so i wondered if there was something wrong with it.
Thanks Neji for the resized image - this has now been uploaded to the wiki
Although you might not have found the information helpful, some would. No, the tactical advice wasn't exactly developed much, but there was no need to delete it altogether. For someone who has never played as Newcastle it may have been some use, to build on. I really don't see why you would delete work because you didn't find it helpful. I don't find the youth intake page useful, because I know it. That doesn't mean I delete it, because I realise that other people might find it useful. You say you wanted to let the reader to decide what tactics to use. Surely a guide is something that you get advice from, so they can read that and make their own decisions after reading it.
On Football Manager people can sell players as well as buy. Sean recommends selling 'Cacapa, Alan Smith, Mark Viduka, and depending on your singings, also sell Damien Duff', which could raise £10mil potentially. There is no problem in recommending players above budget, because players can always be sold to fund it. If you feel other signings are more realistic then feel free to edit it and give some more options, but some people won't need more realistic options.
As for the Enrique part, that is Sean's opinion. Everyone has one, not everyone agree's with one. Not agreeing with one part doesn't mean you should delete the whole part of his post.
Jod has covered the warning part, so I won't repeat him.
Reading the above through, some parts could come across as slightly agressive. This was not the way it was supposed to be, so sorry if you take offense to it.
Thanks for the reply, i didn't "delete" seans work pre-se i merely reworded it so it was easier to read, changing his possible players to sell into a bullleted list i thought helped alot, By the way do you know what happened to Sean? His account isn't registered on Si forums anymore. The Enrique part he stated was based on his accounts from FM08 and may not apply to FM09. actical Advice i feel shouldn't be given unless its for a very good reason, i don't see why Sean reccomended fast pasted direct attacking as that would be reliant on the players you may buy or sell, FM tactics are very complicated and if the user takes in the advice from the wiki and it doesn't work it could leave him feeling very frustrated .
I added some info on the youth intake page at the bottom, and gave a link to the youth development page, where I will give my theories on youth development.
That is all I can do today, because of coursework etc.
I will pop in and out of the website and the forums for the next few days and do as much as i can.
Where is peterevo and some of the other contributers?
It has been a bit quite recently.

Does anyone know where I could find a book or resource of very simple intuitive proofs of the basic results in Geometry? I tutor geometry to middle schoolers, and find that due to shoddy mathematical education, they're not used to really rigorous step by step thinking. On the other hand, very intuitive proofs, like the ones from Lockhart's Lament they find very appealing.
If you haven't read Lockhart's Lament: http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf
There's a proof for the area of a triangle that's given by inscribing the triangle in a rectangle. It's immediately obvious why the formula is the way it is that way. There's another nice proof of the theorem about inscribed angles in a circle.

How does one enrobe a candy center in chocolate in such a way that you get a smooth sphere with no ugly mark where it was sitting on a rack, or hole where it was held by a skewer?
What you need, my good man, is a candy fork.
Basically it's a two-tined fork with incredibly thin tines. Dip, lift, allow excess to drip off, place on parchment (you will get a tiny 'foot' but this is normal).
unless you're talking about absolutely perfect spheres? to my knowledge this is not doable by hand, you will need industrial machinery. and the two hemispheres method will leave you with a seam.
i have heard one solution for the tiny hole left by a thin skewer is another tiny dab of chocolate and a quick blast with a hair dryer to smooth out any imperfections, but i have never tried it myself.
Adding another answer because Michael accepted that one, and I don't want it to look like he accepted what I'm going to write now.
Another way to make perfectly spherical candies is to go the molecular route. You can melt chocolate and thicken it with xanthan gum to mimic a set chocolate. Then add alginate, drop dollops of the chocolate into a calcium chloride bath. Before they set, push your candy centre into the ball of chocolate. I haven't tried this, but the theory is sound.
What if you tried two hemisphere molds, made the shell, filled with your center, and then put the two halves together? If you want a liquid center, you might need to freeze it first or only fill one half.
In order to obtain a perfectly smooth spherical coating, you will have to use a mold.
If you are hand-dipping your centers, you will get a "foot." The warmer the chocolate, the bigger the foot.
Rather than dipping your center, I would recommend you "roll" the center to coat it. Granted, this is messy, but you will probably get the closest to having a "non-footed" product.
To do this, after you temper the chocolate, put a ladle of it onto a marble slab (a dinner plate also will work). With one hand, "play" with the chocolate. It will get thicker as it cools more. When it is pretty thick, but still liquid, use your clean hand to drop a few centers into the chocolate. Roll them over to coat well with your "messy" hand. Pick up the center and place on a sheet of parchment or wax paper... whatever you are using. You can also use your finger to make a swirl on top, but your chocolates will not be perfectly smooth if you do that.
When the chocolate on the plate starts to get too thick, you just add more warm chocolate to it. Unfortunately, this is an experiential method. It takes a while to get the "feel" for this to make the chocolates as pretty and "foot-less" as possible.

DULUTH, Minnesota (From CNN) -- Flash flooding in Duluth, Minnesota, has forced residents to evacuate, left homes underwater, destroyed roads and even led to the drownings of at least eight animals at a zoo.
Between 5 and 9 inches of rain fell between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, sending what looked like raging rivers through Duluth's streets, according to the National Weather Service. Another 2 or 3 inches of rain was still likely to fall.
Duluth residents, who are more used to having snow dumped on them rather than flash floods, said the damage was worse than anything they had ever seen.
"This flooding has been crazy. We have not experienced anything like this in our community," iReporter Kayla Keigley, who said she works as a health care preparedness coordinator, told CNN. "Roads are destroyed. Neighborhoods are underwater. I am in shock and I work in the field of preparedness - this is something I work to 'deal with' daily. Our community is in disbelief."
Workers at the Lake Superior Zoo were in disbelief, too, when they learned at least eight animals drowned there. The toll might still rise, because the workers hadn't yet been able to check all enclosures.
"Sadly the zoo experienced the loss of several animals, among them many of the barnyard residents," Susan Wolniakowski, the zoo's director of guest services, said in a news release. "Due to flooding, the zoo's polar bear Berlin was able to exit her exhibit. She was darted by the zoo's vet and is safe in quarantine. At no time did any dangerous animal leave the perimeter fence."
The zoo said the staff still was assessing the situation.
"Obviously, our entire staff is devastated," the zoo's director of animal management, Peter Pruett, said.
With more rain still coming down this afternoon, the mayor, the weather service and local emergency management officials warned residents to be careful and to stay off the roads. Several people have had to be rescued from their cars because of either flooding or because they had fallen into sinkholes, the weather service reported.

I have a problem that necessitates solving a large non-negative least-squares problem. My matrix A is large, sparse, highly rectangular (num rows >> num cols) and nearly binary. However, A is not necessarily of full column-rank, causing my non-negative least-squares solver (http://www.jasoncantarella.com/webpage/index.php?title=Tsnnls) to fail. Is there an efficient algorithm that will allow me to select a maximum cardinality set of linearly-independent columns from A so that I can solve my least-squares problem?
By nearly binary do you mean most entries are $0$ or $1$ but a few are not? I will assume that all entries are $0,1.$ My main comments involve merely noting zero and non-zero.
To be sure of having maximum rank you will need to look at each column. You can start with any independent set (such as the set consisting of a single column) and then examine the rest of the columns in some order. If the next column is independent of the current set adjoin it as a new member otherwise discard it. This will result in a maximum size set (a basis of the column space). Depending on how sparse it is, it could be pretty easy to decide when the next column can be added, at least for a while.
Here are a few simple ideas to boost efficiency:

KILLEEN (December 18, 2012)--Killeen police were investigating Tuesday morning after a woman's body was discovered inside a house.
A police officer who was patrolling the area early Tuesday heard a fire alarm coming from inside the home and went to investigate.
As he looked in a window he saw fire damage and the woman's body lying on the floor.
The woman was in her mid 50s, but her identity hasn't been determined, police said.
Police and fire units were outside the residence at 2709 Taft Street and the house was encircled with crime scene tape.
Bell County Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke was called to the scene to pronounce the woman dead.
Just before 10 a.m. investigators removed the body from the home and were taking the woman to Dallas where she was to undergo an autopsy at the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science.
Killeen police spokeswoman Carroll Smith would not say if officers suspect foul play and would not discuss how the woman may have died, nor would Smith say if any weapons were found.
The garage door was open during the initial investigation and there were no vehicles in the driveway.

5 Celebrities Who Got Famous by Being Obsessed Fanboys
#2. The Geek Who Would Be Doctor Who
Started Out As:
A young, obsessed Doctor Who fan whose schoolteachers had to tell him to shut up about it.
But Became:
The Doctor.
Settle down, freaky nerd ladies.
Recently, Doctor Who won a victory over Star Trek by becoming the longest-running science fiction series ever. Twice as many actors have played the Doctor over its entire run as have played James Bond. All the way back in the '70s, the role belonged to Tom Baker (the fourth Doctor), and his biggest fan in the universe was a geeky kid named David McDonald.
And McDonald was a megafan to an extent that few men could begin to realize. As a child in school, it was all he ever wrote about, to the point where his teacher had to tell him to stop before she had to fail him. His most treasured possession was the stripy Doctor Who scarf his grandmother knitted him.
Via Wikipedia
She also knitted him that wicked '70s white guy 'fro.
But he was a talented kid, even if he channeled all that talent into incessantly ranting about Doctor Who (a teacher still has one of his essays about the Doctor, titled "Intergalactic Overload," in which McDonald talked about becoming obsessed with the thought of being the Time Lord himself). And where most kids eventually drop their fantasy of growing up to be, say, a Jedi, David McDonald stuck to his guns and joined acting school. Only, because they already had a guy named David McDonald, he changed his name to something that a lot of nerds will find instantly familiar: David Tennant.
Tennant worked hard, forging himself a successful career in Shakespearean stage productions, until one day, while recording a radio play, he learned of a project that was being recorded next door: a Doctor Who animation being produced in an attempt to revive the series after a 14-year hiatus. This was Tennant's big break. He crashed the production and managed somehow to convince the director to give him a small role. Now that his foot was in the door, he was able to audition for the role he was born to play once the series geared up again. And guess what? He lost to Christopher Eccleston.
Oh, but they gave Tennant the role a year later, when Eccleston quit. And Tennant went on to be voted the best version of the Doctor ever by fans, which makes sense, because he knew the character better than anyone in the history of the universe. As if that wasn't a big enough screw you to the realists who mocked his obsession, he also married the daughter of Peter Davison, the fifth Doctor. Because apparently his good fortune just wasn't implausible enough already.
Via Telegraph
She's three and a half feet tall.
#1. The Cover Band Singer Who Joined the Real Thing
Started Out As:
A Judas Priest fan so obsessed that he started a cover band just so he could live the fantasy.
But Became:
The actual lead singer of Judas Priest.
As seen here, performing his rendition of "Rainbow Connection."
Tim Owens was one of those teenagers whose clothing was covered in flaming skulls wrapped in barbed wire and whose favorite albums all involved a great deal of screaming. When he was 16, his older brother came home with a new album that would go on to define his entire life: Screaming for Vengeance, by Judas Priest. From that day on, Judas Priest became his entire world. His walls were adorned with posters, and on his 18th birthday, he enjoyed a cake decorated with a screaming horned monster from one of JP's album covers. Basically, he lived a healthy and well-adjusted childhood.
When he was old enough, he naturally started a Judas Priest cover band. But Owens wasn't content to just cover his idols. He seemed determined to become them. He imitated Rob Halford, the lead singer, down to the most delicate nuance, or at least as delicate and nuanced as heavy metal can be. He even bought a motorcycle so that he could ride it on stage, because that was something Judas Priest did.
At this point, Owens was well on the way to potentially tracking down and ritualistically killing the band members to absorb their metal powers. But fate had something quite different in store. After Rob Halford left the band, Judas Priest was on the hunt for a new lead singer, and there seemed to be only one obvious choice. After an audition that presumably consisted of Owens singing ball-shattering high notes, he was made an official member of the band. From then on he became known as "Ripper," and got to record two albums with, and even write a song for, the band that had been his entire world.
These days, Owens still decorates his room with pictures of his favorite band, only unlike when he was a kid, he's in them.
Though, let's be fair, here: He'll never be in them the way Halford was in them.

text: Here is the last character from 'Epic' that I will be submitting because he is the last of the main ones. Here is "how to draw Bomba,/strong>", step by step. From the image of this character you would that that he is the quirky, brain that is also the inventor and scientist. Actor Jason Sudeikis provides his voice talents for Bomba, and I wish I could tell you what he will actually be like in the movie but there is none that I can find. All I can say is that drawing Bomba will make a great conclusion to the Epic character line. Adios people.

Dread Weapon:
Property On a critical hit the target takes the weapon's enhancement bonus as a penalty to defenses and checks until the end of your next turn.
Is an attack a "check" for purposes of this penalty?
Dread Weapon:
Is an attack a "check" for purposes of this penalty?
It seems yes because of attacks are (as you already figured) checks.
From the Rules Compendium, page 22 and 23.
And again, at page 24.
Note that, conversely, saving throws are not checks (in 4th edition). They are a simple d20 roll that is succeeded on 10 or more. They don't get modifiers from level or ability bonuses.

Revision as of 22:01, 6 May 2014
Front-end Web Development
A free, weekly class on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This class, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at beginners who are interested in web development, as well as seasoned professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.
Front-end web development is all about making code that runs in the browser (versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus on web design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best practices for turning these designs into beautiful code.
This class is for everyone! Complete beginners and more experienced developers are welcome at any time. If you're new to the class, consider coming to the lecture at 7:30 for a recap.
The space and the class are entirely free to attend. You do not have to be a Noisebridge member. Upon arriving at Noisebridge, state that you're here for the class and you'll be allowed in as a guest.
Please bring any kind of laptop.
Lectures start promptly at 8pm on Mondays and go for up to two hours. There is a half-hour recap starting at 7:30pm. Please try to arrive early as physical space is limited.
Labs start at 8pm on Thursdays and end two hours later.
This class runs in a weekly series, and the curriculum takes about 6 months from start to finish. Don't let it discourage you if you're starting from the middle - attend recaps and labs and you should be able to catch up!
Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St., San Francisco, 94114 (at 18th St., near 16th St. BART station). Getting Here
The lecture is held in the Church classroom, which is in the back of the space.
The lab is held in the Turing classroom, the room past the wood shop.
Read up on getting in to the space. Again, you do not need to be a member!
New Series
Remember that you can start coming to class at any time during the series! You can catch up by watching videos from previous classes, doing assignments, or attending lab.
Keep Informed
Join one of the above lists to be notified of upcoming classes via email.
If you can't make it, subscribe to a mailing list to be notified when you can watch a live stream of the lecture! If you missed it, previous lecture streams are available for viewing on the Previous Classes page!
Weekly classroom-style presentation on HTML/CSS/JS. The lecture starts every Monday at 8pm. We also have a recap starting at 7:30pm, where we'll cover the (very) basics, such as explaining what "front-end" means, discussing tools of the trade, and understanding basic HTML and CSS.
Class for 2014-06-02: the basics
THIS is the class to attend if you are a complete beginner! We are starting the curriculum of this class from square one. We'll cover the very basics:
- Explaining "front-end" vs. "back-end"
- Discussing tools of the trade
- Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
- Writing a basic HTML page
- Styling the page with basic CSS
- Explaining the role of front-end web development as a job and career
No recap session for this class. Please show up before 8pm, as physical space is limited. Bring a laptop!
Join the Google+ Event to watch the video livestream (you don't have to be a Google+ member).
Intro presentation
Previous Classes
We also meet for a weekly lab/workshop where we work on an assignment that covers the material learned in the lecture earlier in the week. Those working on their own personal projects are also more than welcome to come and solicit help. Every Thursday at 8pm in the Turing classroom.

Currently I'm practising some pixelart drawing for games. But when I do anti-aliasing for lines, I don't know whether I should draw them by hand or just tick anti-aliasing box in photoshop. Could you please help me pointing out the differences between those two and advantages for drawing by hand?
Do you mean "by hand" as in go in and do each pixel of the anti-alias manually? If that's what you are referring to than yes that is exactly what you should do. For most things though in pixel art you leave that off entirely.
Say you have a gray cinder block you drew by pixel. The cinderblock is on grass. You wouldn't draw a lighter gray edge on the cinder block you would go straight from gray to green. If you do anything else you can outline in say a black or you can of course shade with different tones of gray but you shouldn't be going around the edge with a lighter gray to create an anti-alias - that is the exact opposite of what the "pixel art" style is.
Here is a nice tutorial on dithering that also illustrates the edge: http://kitted.deviantart.com/art/DITHERING-TUTORIAL-Basics-69747353

Ben's Photo Sketchbook Volume 2 (ebook)
Digital Holga - Perfect Imperfection
by Hidenao Ben Nakagawa
his particular experiment is all about "Forget about rules, technical aspect and even quality in some cases".
This is my personal logbook of an experiment and fun experience.
I was greatly surprised how this inexpensive lens performed. If its focus hit the sweet spot, it produced great images. It was just a little difficult to manually focus with today's digital SLR because of its dimmed view finder and particularly with the not-so optimized focusing screen. However, It was quite a "fun-tastic" experience by just snapping without worrying technique and rules.

It is well known that a separable space is a topological space that has a countable dense subset. I am wondering how is this related to the name 'separable'? Any intuition where the name come from?
As far as I know the word separable was introduced by M. Fréchet in Sur quelques points du calcul fonctionnel, Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo 22 (1906), 1-74. The paper can be obtained via this link (Springer). It's the famous paper in which he introduced metric spaces. He considers first slightly more general objects which he calls classes (V): where (V) stands for voisinage — neighborhood.
Remark: Metrics are introduced under the name écart in no 49 on page 30. It is peculiar that the symmetry condition is not explicitly mentioned but it seems to be understood as Fréchet immediately mentions that metric spaces generalize classes (V) cf. no 27 on page 17f. However, I couldn't find an instance where he actually uses it, he is always careful to respect the order — I may have missed something since I haven't read the paper in detail.
I quote the relevant passage [from no 37 on page 23f]:
I am unable to translate this in a reasonable way (but see Amit's comment below for a translation). Very roughly: Fréchet defines separable spaces as we do it today and says that in the following he will restrict attention to complete, perfect and separable metric spaces. The last quoted paragraph indeed confirms Qiaochu's comment.
According to this part of Hausdorff's collected works, the name "separable" was coined by Fréchet. Hausdorff writes this denotation wouldn't be very suggestive but established. The earliest use in the German Zentralblatt, where the word occurs in a review by Hahn, dates back to 1918. I am sure one can find the first use of the word in the given context in Fréchet's works but I doubt that he will explain his motivation for the use of this particular word there. So we will (presumably) never know...
Well "séparer" means just "disjoin", "split up" etc. There are few meanings for "séparation" in french. For exemple "séparer par des fonctions". If you have a space $X$ and a set of functions ${\cal F}$ from $X$ to ${\bf R}$ (or anything else), you say that "${\cal F}$ sépare les points de $X$" iff for two different point $x$ and $x'$ there exists a function $f \in {\cal F}$ such that $f(x) \neq f(x')$, this is a common use of the word "séparer" in french, nothing mysterious. And this vocabulary can be applied to any analogous situations, in topology or whatever else context. I heard the first time this wording (when I was a student) in the case I mention above, long before I have heard using this wording in a topology course.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After taking four days off for Spring Break, Anderson University baseball returns to action and to its South Atlantic Conference slate when it hits the road to Catawba for a three-game series beginning on Friday at 6 p.m. The two-day set will wrap up with a doubleheader on Saturday scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
The Trojans
After picking a nonconference win over Southern Wesleyan at Fluor Field to begin last week, AU dropped two-of-three to conference rival Wingate, claiming the final game on Sunday, 10-9. With the 1-2 record against the Bulldogs, the Trojans move to 9-15 overall and 7-5 in conference play, which slots them in a three-way tie for second place, joining Newberry and this weekend's opponent, Catawba, as all three teams have five losses.
Sophomore first baseman Steven Cooper led the Anderson offense this past weekend, hitting .455 with an .818 slugging percentage and highlighted the weekend with a first inning home run on Sunday, his first of the season. Cooper also drove in six RBI and scored three runs. Senior outfielder Josh Hickman, who got off to a slow start to the season, totaled five hits last weekend, hitting .417 with two runs scored.
On the mound, senior Thomas Goodman posted the best outing in a start, tossing 5.2 innings and striking out three batters. Reliever Evan Jordan added his first save of the season on Sunday, completing three innings and matching Goodman's total number of punchouts with three.
The Indians
Catawba entered the season as the conference's preseason favorite, earning 97 points and nine first-place votes in the annual SAC Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Indians finished 36-16 a season ago with a 21-6 mark in league play, but finished 1-2 in the conference tournament, which ended their season.
In its most recent conference series, Catawba dropped two-of-three to defending SAC Tournament champions, Lincoln Memorial. Despite the two setbacks, the Indians have responded with two-straight wins, capped off by a 10-9 victory over nationally-ranked Mount Olive on Tuesday. With the wins, Catawba holds even records of 11-11 overall and 5-5 in SAC play.
Despite ranking sixth in the SAC in batting average (.281), the Indians lead the league in home runs with 17, one more than second place Lincoln Memorial. Leading the way is TJ Wharton with five home runs on the season, tying for third in the conference, while teammate Paul Kronenfeld is tied for seventh with three.
Defensively, Catawba ranks second in the SAC for the fewest amount of errors with 28 for the year, one behind Coker with 27. Its .964 fielder percentage ties Carson-Newman for the highest in the league. On the mound, senior Ryan McClintock ranks fifth nationally in saves with five.
The Series
Anderson has dropped six straight games to Catawba, as the Trojans are searching for their first win over the Indians since claiming two-of-three in the first series as conference opponents in 2011. That season, AU won both games of Saturday's doubleheader, 3-2, to claim the league set.

I'm currently on the second stage of evolution (child) and I want to get my Hatchi up to 13lbs or more in weight. The problem is, even if I keep feeding it meat, the weight is stuck at 12.7lbs.
I'm on the Android version of the game at v1.05. As of right now, I ensure that all the bars on top are filled in, plus I feed it whenever I have the chance.
What do I need to do to make it weigh over that 13lbs?

I have a dim recollection of having heard that when humans gain weight, adipose cells just get larger, rather than dividing. True?
My foray into the literature suggests that mature adipocytes do not divide. See, for example:
In the context of looking at the possibility of stimulating the conversion of white adipose tissue to brown adipose tissue, the authors outline the way in which the expansion of adipose tissue occurs by a process in which fibroblast-like pre-adipocytes differentiate into cells capable of storing lipid droplets and responding to insulin.
It appears therefore that expansion of adipose tissue occurs by the generation of new adipocytes. Thinking of the morphology of a fully-loaded adipocyte (a lipid droplet surrounded by a narrow band of cytoplasm) it seems rather unlikely that these cells would be capable of division. The Wikipedia citation linked to by QuietThud in the comments to the OP is to a popular book on nutrition, not an authoritative source.

Mobile billboard travels through Steubenville
• National organization is now calling for justice in teen rape case
January 18, 2013
STEUBENVILLE - A national organization is sponsoring a mobile billboard that is traveling throughout the city this week, calling for justice in the alleged rape of a 16-year-old Weirton female....
These Boys will get nothing. It is all a joke. If this was anywhere else the coach would be fired and maybe arrested. And the home owners will get off .So many more should be punished this is worse than Penn state. The coach kicked the boys who were doing the right thing off the team and played the rapist. What does that tell you about our media.

JONESVILLE — Brandon Jenkins is used to representing Jonesville High School and his AAU basketball team on the court.
But at the end of the month, he'll be representing the Stars and Stripes in the Bahama Drama International Basketball Showcase.
Jenkins, who will be entering his senior year at Jonesville, was selected as one of nine players for the United States for the three-day tournament from Aug. 1-3.
"It's such a great honor. I was just so overwhelmed when I found out I got to represent the USA and Jonesville and our county," Jenkins said. "It's mind-blowing."
The door to the Bahamian tournament was opened through Jenkins' AAU team months ago. Jenkins received a phone call and an email about attending a meeting to possibly join the team.
He went to Lansing with his father to learn more about the team, and a week or two later, attended an online webinar to gain further information.
That was all he needed, and told his parents he wanted to go despite the long road ahead.

trying to understand lastParent variable in FieldCell
Hi, I'm diving into the Sencha code trying to understand the ComboBoxCell. I came across the lastParent variable thats declared in the FieldCell. Can someone from Sencha explain its use and whats it for?
maybe an explanation of what its actually representing, like what XElement?
20 May 2013 6:41 AM #2
Cells are designed to be drawn more than once, such as per-row in a grid or per-node in a tree. In a field, they are drawn exactly once, and directly map to the elements that are present in that single widget, but in the other cases there could be many simultaneous copies rendered at once. This is the main point, and benefit, of the Cell API. As a result of this, many calls must have some specific details about where the event is taking place - the Context gives a reference to the row/column/key of the current edited data, the parent Element gives the root of the currently used rendered copy of the cell, and the ValueUpdater gives a way to modify that particular rendered node's value.
FieldCell tracks all three as lastParent, lastContext, lastValueUpdater. A saveContext call can be made to stash those values away, while clearContext nulls them out. These are presently only used for various TriggerFieldCell subtypes, where dom 'focus' and 'blur' can be somewhat ambiguous, and it is necessary to track events *outside* the cell itself but still update the currently focused cell.
For example, take a DateCell rendered in a Grid's ColumnConfig. The user clicks on the cell, focusing it, then clicks the tool icon, bringing up a DatePicker widget, drawn outside yet on top of the grid. The dom focus leaves the DateCell and the Grid entirely at this time, but that original cell in the grid is still logically focused, as the user is using the DatePicker to select some value. So when the DatePicker has made a change, it need to inform the DateCell that it should change to a new value, and to do that, it needs to know which ValueUpdater to call, and which Element (or XElement) to re-render with the new value.

Hi everyone (and John; I'll be needing you again),
* I have been working on the calibration of my D300 + Nikkor 10.5 on my NN5L.
Things work out oke but I'm still puzzled with the no-parallax-point calibration for the zenith shot.
I use a -15 angle for smaller nadir footprint. I am wondering what the 'optimal' zenith angle would be. I have been shooting +60 / +90 and +75 degrees.
Actuall the +60 gave me best (at least easiest) results when stitching outdoor scenes with clouds or air cause you have a reference 'on the ground' for control points.
I have been thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) if it would be more correct to shoot at a +75 degrees angle. -15 + 90 = +75 degrees (similar angle as if you would use 0 degrees and a 90 degrees zenith shot).
Or would 60 degrees increments work better (same angle used for the vertical shots), for example +45 degrees (but here the covered area will be too small I think) or +105 (so -15 actually) or is this mathematical mumbojumbo? :-)
For vertical parallax should the same method be used to find the NNP and rotate the camera around the horizontal axis with +-45degrees (or +-30 degrees when using a 60 degrees angle for the zenith shot)
* Secondly... Hans Nyberg can confuse you sometimes too you know haha :-)
I suppose this is applicable too the 10.5fish as well? So it's not only the angle used for the photo's (the amount of shots to cover the 360degrees) but also the place on the photo itself where you want to avoid parallax, that are important to find the "NNP". What influence does Hans's theory have on your 'classic' (with the tape on the window) method for finding the NNP, John?
The more I learn and think I understand about pano's, the more I discover that has to be learned and done.
Best regards, Wim.

Is it a bad idea to manually adjust our GPU fan speed?
I'll try to keep a long story as short as possible:
While gaming my card was running at 74C with the fan speed at 33% (it was on auto adjust).
I changed my fan speed manually to 50% and it dropped down to 63C!
My life's taught me if things are too easy and too good to be true there's probably some catch, so I don't wanna kill another fan to another graphics card (this being the replacement to a card I had in now way altered, but the fan died anyway).
12 Answers answer
next time replace the fan, not the whole card. Easy 15-minute fix.
I salvaged 2 old dell Power Edge 120mm fan, which I wired to the 2 switches to the front of my PC. My GPU has only a giant heatsink. I angled one fan to exhaust warm air the 2nd blows on the heatsink, so when I play I toggle the switches. Quite PC for deals.woot! Loud and cool for gaming.
May I suggest a better heatsink? Accelero, by Arctic Cooling, is a great line and they make sinks for just about any card available. I have one on my old 285GTX and it keeps it just under 50ºC, even when playing Farcry 2 or Crysis maxed out -- best part is that they have some sinks that don't require a fan. If you've got room in your case, they're the Bees-Knees
I've never wanted to alter my graphics card because it voids warranty =\
It's done now, anyway... I have a "replacement" card.
I have a AMD Radeon HD 687A-ZNFC. The ZDFC (a card I borrowed) has this Double Dissipation deal and his card ran a good 10C cooler than my replacement does (which is the same temp as my original card). Just bugs me a bit...
Out of curiosity
1) are you using AMD proprietary software for the auto adjust?
2) what are some other temps in your case: cpu, northbridge etc
3) are you overclocking?
Could be just you have bad airflow? or your not compensating for the heat being caused by the overclocking. Or at least these are just my immediate thoughts....
Could be other reasons, but thought I should ask as others have yet to.
If it ain't broke...you know the rest.
1) yes
2) can't get my core temps to show (tried CoreTemp and it showed 0)
3) no
I think the case has decent flow... but it is a bit cramped. If I could afford to buy a bigger case I would :P
The big down side to manually setting your fan speed is under a load it would have been automatically adjusted to 75% but you have restricted it to 50%. As a result it will overheat and shut off. If you are going to manually set it, go for 100%. That will provide the maximum cooling available with your current setup.
The best thing is to look for the cause of the overheating rather than fixing symptoms. (Clean dust out of the inside of the case. Blow dust off the heat sink. Vacuum out really well. Remove the fan and heat sink and reattach with new Artic Silver.)
@jertyrael: CoreTemp sometimes is unreliable, and I have seen it give different numbers when run alongside other programs (though arguably none are perfect)
I would still look into your temps to see if its just the video card, or bad air flow.. could save yourself some money.
Try this
Does a little more than what you need it to do (shows voltages), but it's nice to have running in the background to see how hot you get and will note that in the max column.
@grimskull89: Thanks.
I don't think it's so much that the card is running hotter than it's supposed to its just that I wish it would run cooler o.O
the new Double D cards from XFX really are affective from what I've seen (running 10C less mine though they're the same cards essentially).
hahaha HW Monitor can't see my CPU temp either...
Probably because my CPU doesn't really exist >_> (Phenom II X4 B50)
GPU is running 61 idle right now but it gets over 70 in-game.

Is there some inherent quality of a mathematical object that marks it as being "naturally" a thingie or a cothingie?
Suppose, for example, that two mathematical concepts, say, doodad and doohickey, originally defined far, far away from the reaches of category theory, are later discovered to be–who knew?–categorical duals of each other.
Would it then be entirely arbitrary whether to rename doohickeys as "codoodads" or rename doodads as "codoohickeys"?
The fact that, for me at least, cothingies are typically far more exotic than their duals suggests that there is no intrinsic "coquality" that distinguishes cothingies from thingies, and therefore, all other things being equal, it is the more exotic member of the pair that gets the coname. (Otherwise the extreme underrepresentation of cothingies in my prior mathematical education is hard to explain.) But occasionally I come across comments that suggest that some mathematicians at least have an intuitive sense of how to classify arbitrary mathematical entities as either thingies or cothingies. Therein the nundrum.
PS: Wikipedia's extremely useful List of mathematical jargon desperately needs a knowledgeable entry on the term cointuition.

I'm participating again in Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. The gist of this meme is that Jenny features a different letter of the alphabet each week, and people who are involved write their post around that letter and link back to her post. Then, everyone who is participating reads as many blogs as possible, the idea being to increase your readership. The letter this week is W! I knew my "W" topic since last week: Whack-A-Mole!
One thing I learned about autism is that treating it is like a big whack-a-mole game. You focus therapies on eliminating some behaviors. For example, one of the first behaviors we tackled with our daughter was her rigidity. If things didn't go her way, she would meltdown faster than Chernobyl. She dropped her grape on the ground? Huge tantrum! Time to leave preschool? Huge tantrum! I'd make a left turn driving when she wanted me to turn right? Huge tantrum! The behavior therapy to increase her flexibility started off pretty successfully. She learned how to say, "Oh, well!" if something didn't go the way she wanted. But then something weird happened: a new behavior cropped up!
My daughter started to get really ritualistic. If we didn't go through our routines in the exact way each day, then she would have meltdowns. Our behaviorist told us that this is totally normal. Oftentimes, when treating autistic children, eliminating one behavior just creates a new one to crop up. For some kids with autism, there's always going to be some behavior, you just try to find the behavior that you can live with the most.
Of course, even after a behavior is "eliminated," it's still bound to come popping up again at a different time!
Ironically, my daughter did really well playing a Whack-a-Mole game the last time she was at Chuck E. Cheese. Coincidence? I think not!

Is there any concern about using paper towels with hot food? I know there are some who advise against using the first few and last few sheets during Pesach, due to the presence of starch-based glue which may be chametz. Otherwise it is generally not viewed as problematic, but I've heard that there might be an issue of some ingredients (glycerin, maybe?) being derived from non-kosher sources. Does anyone have authoritative information about this one way or the other?

Information was taken from http://www.oukosher.org/index.php/common/article/10006
If indeed the problem is that it is a kitniyot-based glue, then there is no problem with owning such paper towels. Kitniyot is only assur for Ashkenazim according to most Orthodox poskim, and there is no prohibition of owning kitniyos over Passover like there is with owning hametz. As long as you aren't eating them, it would be fine. Also, even if you were eating them, there are some poskim who permit the eating of kitniyot for ashkenazim if there is a change in form (shinui davar). A practical ramification of this is whether or not corn syrup is permitted. However, IIRC, it is not a majority. Poskim use a similar logic to matir gelatin, which even some (but not all) mehadrin hashgachot in Israel declare to be muttar.
