Men's Golf Finishes 14th at Spring Kick-off IntercollegiateFebruary 11, 2014
ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Paced by junior CJ Messana's three-round 15-over-par 228, the Anderson men's golf team wrapped up play at the second annual Spring Kick-off Intercollegiate in 14th-place on Tuesday at the par 71, 6,688 yard Golf Club at Fleming Island.
Co-host Lincoln Memorial took a one-shot victory over Flagler after posting a three-day total of 860. Tusculum (878) finished third overall, one shot ahead of Coker (879). The two-day event featured 15 teams and 84 players.
UNC Pembroke (881) slipped one spot to fifth, with co-host Wingate (888) moving up one slot to sixth. Carson-Newman (894) claimed seventh, with
Georgia Southwestern (895) and Belmont Abbey (895) deadlocked in eighth.
Montevallo (897), Newberry (899), Cape Fear Community College (900), King (903), Anderson (913) and Limestone (914) rounded out the teams.
Messana (71-79-78=228) finished in a three-way tie for 49th, while senior Sean Shelton (79-75-76=230) tied for 55th. Senior Arran Setro (76-73-84=233) and freshman Payden Parrish (81-77-75=233) each tied for 59th, with sophomore David Wachter (78-80-76=234) garnering 63rd.
Flagler's Spencer Schindler carded a final-round 66 to win the individual title by seven shots over teammate Sebastian Barnova. Lincoln Memorial's Tre' Mullins, the leader after the first two rounds, finished in a tie for third with teammate Braden Galyon, who both finished three-under, one shot ahead of Gebhardt.
The Trojans return to the links on March 3-4 at the Richard Rendleman Memorial, hosted by Catawba at the Salisbury Country Club.

CAMERON (January 14, 2013)--Cameron City Council will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss and possibly take action on bids on a water treatment plant and surface water storage tank improvement.
The city water system collected 6 samples of water in October that contained coliform bacteria, bacteria that is naturally present and used as an indicator that other potentially harmful bacteria may be present.
For water systems analyzing fewer than 40 samples per month, no more than one sample per month can test positive for the bacteria.
Officials hope that a new water treatment plant will alleviate some of the bacteria concerns.
The meeting will be held in the council chambers beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The building is located at 100 S. Houston.
The meeting could go into closed session but it is open to the public.

Hi Rory,
Very good work ! Im from Brazil and i'm developing a mobile application that need to capture some photos. Im using CameraCaptureDialog and works fine, but i need a greater resolution then size(240,320), i tryed to increase those values but the result is
the same. How can i use a better resolution?
Thanks !! By the way, wen youre caming to Brazil?
The camera API is very enticing. The "prompt to capture" limitation is the only thing holding me back. Is there any thing like the Windows User32.dll API that can issue SendKeys on WM5.0? I imagine you could hack your way around the prompting. My goal is a mobile app that will take pictures on its own and push them onto an FTP site. I will then write some Ajax page to continously check for a new photos so I can monitor my 'spy camera' on a PC.
Probably Not,
Man the autocapture idea would RoCK...
I am trying to use the cameraCaptureDialog on a Pidion BM 150-R running WM 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack. I get an System.InvalidOperationException error. The value of SystemState.CameraPresent is False
even though there is an embedded camera on the device and it is working.
There was no registry value for \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware\Camera. I added a DWord value for Camera = 1 Now SystemState.CameraPresent is True, but I still get the same InvalidOperationException error. Are there any other registry values that I can add to get this working with the camera API or is this a problem that the manufacturer of this device needs to fix?
I desire to develop application similar to webcam. I don't want the camera dialog appear, and PC can monitor via USB.
Hi Rory,
Cool webcast! I especially liked the 999-9999-9999 bit. Its always the simple things that make us laugh.
Anyhoo, I'm currently writing a WM6 app which needs to trap key presses. I'm wondering if its possible to trap a Camera button press?
Can this be done through the camera API. Or do you know of a keycode for the camera button?

On an old build there was a problem with one component that consumed a lot of RAM. As a result, another component started failing with a wrong error message. The first component has been fixed and does not consume extra memory now. However, I want to verify that second component was fixed, and in order to do that, I need a way to decrease the amount of free RAM. Any guidance on how to do that? Thanks :)

If one wakes up in the middle of the night or at least before dawn, does he wash and make al netilat yadayim? Also, at what point can one say birkot hashachar? I'd like to wake up extra early to do some study before Shacharit. Additionally, is there a separate ruling for one who wakes in the middle of the night for a glass of water?

One who wakes up before dawn (alos hashachar) should wash netilas yadayim without a bracha (Shulchan Aruch OC, 4:14).
Getting out of bed in the middle of the night has the same halacha as getting up before dawn. [In fact this applies even after awakening from a nap during the day.] One should wash netilas yadayim without a bracha. Even if it is just to get a drink, it is preferable not to walk even four amos (6-8 feet) without washing.
Birchos Hashachar may be said from Alos Hashachar. But the custom today is to recite them at arrival to shul in the morning (Shulchan Aruch OC, 46:1-2).

Is there an easy way to construct, on the same filtered probability space, a Brownian motion $W$ and a Poisson process $N$, such that $W$ and $N$ are not independent ?
In case (W,N) has independent increments, then W and N are also independent, since a Brownian Motion has no common jumps with the Poisson process. This of course doesn't say, there is no probability space, where (W,N) has dependent increments, but it gives you a hint, how it might be constructed.
See e.g. Kallenberg - Foundations of Modern Probability 13.6 for a proof
Consider the following. Let $Y$ be a Brownian motion, and $N$ an independent Poisson process with rate $\lambda$. Let $t$ satisfy $e^{-\lambda t} = 1/2$. Define $W$ as follows. If $N_t = 0$, then $W = {\rm sgn}(Y_1) Y$; if $N_t > 0$, then $W = -{\rm sgn}(Y_1) Y$.
Anyone is welcome to give opinion on this suggestion.
Hi I can suggest the following, start with independent $W$ and $N$ processes, you can build up a "dependent" couple $(W,N)$ by specifying a family of copulas for the finite dimensional law of the increments of the processes, then use Kolmogoroff extension theorem to finish the job.
Take a look here Chapter 5.
Hope this helps
Best regards

While playing with the data dump for a blog post (Stack Overflow: Badge Analysis Over Time), I see that no Popular Question badges were awarded for 27 May, which is odd.
The missing badges show in both the absolute graph (first) and the relative graph (second), as we see below. The relative graph is great for seeing the relative trends, and also to see if the badges were or were not retroactively.. it looks to me as if they were not awarded.
Did this really happen? Or is there a fault somewhere? At no point since the early days has there ever been no Popular Question badges awarded, especially mid-week.

March 16, 2011
Was Abraham, in offering his son for sacrifice, engaging in rational choice? Was Catch-22's Yossarian, trapped in a conflict in which common sense had no role, a practitioner of game theory?
New York University's Steven Brams thinks so. His newest book, Game Theory and the Humanities: Bridging Two Worlds (MIT Press, 2011), posits that game theory can illuminate the rational choices made by characters in texts ranging from the Bible to Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and can explicate strategic questions in law, history, and philosophy.
Game theory models are common in the sciences and social sciences, but they have been only sporadically applied to the humanities, with mathematical calculations of strategic choice seen as irrelevant to the worlds of literature, history, and philosophy.
Brams' analysis helps the reader relate characters' goals to their choices and the consequences of those choices. Much of his analysis is based on the theory of moves (TOM), which is grounded in game theory, and which he develops gradually and applies systematically in the work. TOM illuminates the dynamics of player choices, including their misperceptions, deceptions, and uses of different kinds of power.
Brams, a professor in New York University's Wilf Family Department of Politics, examines such topics as the outcome and payoff matrix of Pascal's wager on the existence of God; the strategic games played by presidents and Supreme Court justices; frustration games, as illustrated by the strategic use of sexual abstinence in Aristophanes's Lysistrata; and how information was slowly uncovered in the game played by Hamlet and Claudius.
Brams is the author of Mathematics and Democracy: Designing Better Voting and Fair-Division Procedures (2008), among other works.

Kentucky Should Hold Off on Final Four Plans
The Kentucky Wildcats fell out of the latest Associated Press men's college-basketball poll Monday, completing a historic fall for the reigning champions. Kentucky (4-3) started the season ranked No. 3, slid to No. 8 and now is the victim of the biggest single-week drop from the rankings since the poll expanded to 25 teams in 1990.
Coach John Calipari can point to the team's inexperience and overhauled roster for the early-season struggles. But history shows that the Wildcats are in for a very long season.
Since 1984-85, Kentucky is just the eighth team ranked in the top three of the preseason AP poll to fall out of the rankings. None of the other seven advanced past the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament. That's a bad omen for the Wildcats, whose 55-game home winning streak came to an end in their loss to Baylor Saturday.
What makes Kentucky's fall so stunning is how quickly it unraveled in the eyes of the pollsters. In 2010-11, for instance, the preseason No. 2 (Michigan State) and No. 3 (Kansas State) both fell out of the poll, but not until mid-January. In 2009-10, No. 3 Texas didn't drop out until March.
Then again, it could be worse. In 1986, defending champion Louisville started the season No. 2. The Cardinals promptly lost their first three games and were never heard from again.

Cases of sexual abuse perpetrated against a child by a family member can be difficult to prosecute. Misperceptions about the dynamics of incest can lead to inadequate response by victim service providers and other members of the system. Prosecutors and allied criminal justice professionals can provide crucial support to children and families surviving incest by learning to identify and respond to their unique needs.Join us as Jennifer Long, Director of AEquitas: The Prosecutors' Resource on Violence Against Women, and former prosecutor, and Alissa Mailen Perrotto, Online Resource Specialist for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and former children's advocate, discuss strategies for preparing and litigating cases of incest while supporting children and families.By the conclusion of this presentation participants will be better able to:• Recognize the unique challenges related to the investigation and prosecution of incest cases• Overcome potential barriers in the prosecution of incest cases to improve offender accountability • Collaborate with advocates to decrease the likelihood retraumatizing child victims during investigation and prosecution

By Jeffery Phelps | Examiner | Jan. 21, 2011
It's official, or is it? Once again the establishment is showing it's cards in an obvious attempt to defraud Ron Paul from the nomination, as Iowa GOP 'officials' purposely disrupt and permanently invalidate the 2012 Iowa Caucus.
The official Caucus website, in conjunction with the Des Moines Register, had to come forward Thursday to claim the official results can "never be certified" after 8 different precincts turn up invalid results due to "missing votes" and changing stories.
For the first time in history, the Iowa GOP decided to change the final vote count to a "Secret location" for what was claimed to be "security concerns." The unprecedented change in venue came as a shock to most Iowans who are used to seeing the final results tallied at State Party Headquarters in Des Moines, in full view of the public.
This time, however, instead of business as usual, all of the final results were to be counted at an undisclosed location, completely hidden from public scrutiny, the seemingly 'new' business as usual.
What played out as a result was a mockery of democracy as Iowa election officials permanently skewed the results of the caucus, illegally miscounting and completely dismissing votes for Ron Paul, many of which were ironically from precincts that Romney lost in '08.
Other missing or "uncounted" votes were expected to be heavy Ron Paul supporting, major populated areas and college town precincts, now leaving the true winner forever in question.
Originally, the results had Romney winning by 8 votes over Santorum with 30,015 votes. Now the establishment's media claims new 'official' results show Santorum winning by 34 votes over Romney with 29,839 votes, but oddly 168 votes fewer than the 'official' total he was previously given, 30,007.
Additionally, Iowa's establishment politicians now say 121,503 people voted overall, strangely down from the 122,255 it had originally reported. This could be due to new official results not including the 8 precincts that showed skewed results in the new final totals, but the truth may never be fully understood.
As if that's not odd enough, hidden within all the commotion, even though many votes were missing, uncounted, and changed, including the official result totals for both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, no mention at all has been given to the new total Ron Paul should now have and if his votes were also miscounted or left out like the two 'front-runners" votes were reported to have been. Especially considering how close Ron Paul came to winning, one would think his totals would be just as important to review as well.
The Ron Paul camp, as usual, has downplayed the situation for fear of being an easy target and giving the establishment an excuse to label him and his supporters conspiracy "theorists," a very common tactic used by the establishment and it's media throughout Paul's career. Instead, he's tried to remain humble and look at the bright side in saying, "a strong third is still pretty good and still sends a message to the establishment and the American people."
However, as was pointed out on CNN Thursday, even if the new results are legitimate, "It's hard to take back that initial surge given to Romney. It's hard to overcome the amount of hype and exposure he received as the evening progressed." It was treated as a monumental moment as he was declared the winner, while his party and constituents celebrated in great joy…All while questionable results trickled in.
If the actual winner was to have been Ron Paul, should the votes have been counted fairly, the results would have likely been unprecedented momentum for the Ron Paul campaign, which would have likely been impossible for the other candidates to overcome, especially considering Ron Paul's overall success, despite the constant barrage of negative and totally unfair coverage, if and when he gets coverage at all.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the circumstances, when it's all said and done, is the repeating pattern of open censorship and total demonization toward Ron Paul's campaign by the media. He's always referred to as "unelectable, racist, or dangerous," or any number of attacks, while generally making a mockery of his ideals and supporters, even though his anti-war, pro-civil liberty, limited-constitutional government, and sound economic policies are all very popular in general with the American people.
What people are most impressed with, when it comes to Ron Paul, when people are actually given the chance to find who he really is and what he really stands for, are things like realizing he's held those exact same ideals and shows a perfectly aligned voting record to go along with those ideals since he started in government over 40 years ago. Something the other candidates couldn't even fathom with all the criminal activity and flip-flopping on the issues, many of them have done routinely, throughout their careers.
Even Active military troops feel Ron Paul is the best candidate for America. For the second White House bid in a row, active military personnel give double the amount of organic campaign contributions to Ron Paul than all the other candidates combined, including Obama's totals.
This renders the war-mongering establishment's multi-party line, that Ron Paul's foreign policy ideals are "dangerous," when even the military overwhelmingly agrees with Paul, as more examples of pro-establishment rhetoric aimed at fooling the people into thinking anti-war sentiments are irrational. The totally bias media is constantly using suggestive terms like, "he can't win," or, "he won't win," as if they are the ones who decide what the people are supposed to think about the candidates.
Frighteningly, it's commonplace to witness the open attempt to sway public opinion in favor of the candidates with pro-war and pro-establishment views, despite the fact that Ron Paul has scored very high or first in almost every independent political poll since his second White House bid in 2007, while establishment funded polls always strangely show Paul in second, third, or even more oddly, yet just as commonly, not being included in the poll at all.
This, despite that fact that he's always the landslide victor in almost every internet poll he's been in, including post-debate analysis for every debate since the 2012 GOP nomination race began, both on TV and on almost all internet polling analysis.
As another perfect example, the censorship and the overall attempt to limit Ron Paul's ability to get his message out to the American people became so bad during the SC GOP Debate Thursday night, the crowd actually began to take notice, and at one point all started demanding that he be allowed to participate, and forced CNN's debate host to allow Ron Paul to answer the same question the other three candidates were allowed to answer. Excluding and ignoring Paul was, and has been a common theme throughout both the '08 and the '12 GOP nomination races, during every single debate since the very beginning.
One of the reasons for a general establishment disdain for the strict Libertarian is because he's has always been a real thorn in the establishment's side, going back as far as his first run for President in '88 when he exposed CIA drug running on local Texas TV. Now he's doing it on the national stage, and although he's wisely being a lot more politically correct in front of a national audience, the establishment still doesn't like him now, seemingly more than ever.
Another perfect example of his continual fight against a totally over-reaching, big-government establishment, Paul was the only one of the remaining candidates to take a detour from the campaign trail this week to introduce legislation in the Congress to strip unconstitutional provisions from the tyrannical NDAA bill that has garnered so much attention as of late. The same bill that, pro-establishment candidate, Mitt Romney supported during a recent national debate, admitting he would have voted for it as well.
Ron Paul's son, Tea Party favorite, Kentucky State Senator, Rand Paul has also been instrumental in fighting for liberty against pro-establishment, pro-status quo politicians, recently vowing to block un-American additions to the internet-freedom-killing SOPA and PIPA bills that were addressed in the final SC GOP debate on Thursday evening. Freedom-killing legislation that pro-establishment candidate, Rick Santorum had trouble denouncing with the others on the same debate stage.
Coming into the Iowa Caucuses, however, most establishment pundits were so nervous over the thought of a Paul win they were rendering the Iowa caucus discredited before they even happened, some suggesting simply ignoring the results all-together. That is, until Romney or Santorum "won," and then the Iowa caucuses magically became so legitimate the establishment pundits were practically handing the nomination to Romney, even though we still had 49 states left to primary.
Bringing us to the evening of the Iowa Caucus itself, where early exit polls had Paul in first place, which included an Anderson Cooper jolting Paul win in the first couple official precincts reported.
As the evening progressed, the leaders went back and forth like a jumbo-tron race during halftime, with the first two hours of results seeing no clear leader, and a double digit amount of lead changes, despite Paul's #1 live exit poll rankings, shown on every network.
All night long national news coverage analyzed the incoming numbers, showing Paul having a real shot, either leading or in a dead heat for much of the first part of the evening, with promising young voters and college student heavy precincts yet to be counted, something the pundits were claiming "looked very good for Paul" and had the other candidates, "very nervous," according to live election coverage analysts.
As the night wore on, however, none of that seemed to matter. All pre-caucus polls showing Paul in first, or the live Iowa Caucus exit polls showing Paul winning, or the edge he was said to have because of the missing precincts that strangely never ended up being counted, all somehow ended up not having any effect or simply disappeared completely into a black hole.
After all this, what's extremely frightening about the situation is that fact that neither the establishment and it's media, nor is anyone in any policing agency doing anything about it, as if it's no big deal that the official election results in the Iowa caucus was tampered with, rendering the results of the election forever compromised, potentially putting the future of the caucus and elections processes, this nation, and Ron Paul's call for liberty, freedom, and the rule of law in serious jeopardy.
Just as concerning to Ron Paul supporters and supporters of freedom and fairness in general, which may or may not be a majority of the country, although we obviously can't be sure with the current national media that's in place, is the fact that precincts around the country that aren't still using paper ballots, are now using electronic voting machines, also said to be even easier to manipulate, admitted under oath in court by an electronic voting machine software developer. In addition to a very shady Diebold upper management history, potentially rendering the entire election system a total hoax, which exists, as Judge Napolitano recently stated, "to merely perpetuate the fake, corporate controlled, 'two-party' system of political slavery."
Under the circumstances, if no one does anything about it, and the people remain largely oblivious to the actaul magnitude of the circumstances, the only way Ron Paul and his supporters have any shot at getting the nomination, and thus swinging the preverbal political pendulum back toward the direction of freedom and liberty, is via total landslide victories in many of the remaining primaries. To the point that not even pro-establishment vote counters and jimmy-rigged Diebold voting machines and their unfairly manipulated software can overcome the sheer magnitude of votes, forcing the establishment's media to take notice, forcing it into public discussion.
At this point, that seems to be the only way.

I almost want to give 1/5 under wet and snow, but I thought I give this the benefit of the doubt till I get more time on snow. On dry roads, they are quite impressive as they feel more like an all season tire. In snow and slush however, they don't perform a ton better than all seasons. In particular during turn in, my car would severely understeer, and during braking, it tends to slip quite a bit. Being fair however, I have to remind myself that this is a performance winter tire, which may explain some of the qualities I've mentioned earlier. My recommendation is don't buy this tire if you get a lot of snow. Where I am in the city, the roads tend to get cleared pretty fast, so I am sort of ok trading performance for a lack of snow handling.

Every countable union of rectangles in R2 is a Lebesgue measurable set. Is the converse true, too?
Specifically, I wonder whether the following statement is true:
Let A be a set in the unit square that is Lebesgue measurable. Then there a countable collection of rectangles and a null set such that A is equal to the union of the rectangles and the null set.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Chapter One
Ice begets ice and flame begets flame; Those that go down never rise up again. --Sailors' proverb
An uneasy weight hung on Gretchen's chest as she looked around the dim room. I was dreaming something--what was it? Gretchen's mind cast about for a train of thought but clutched at emptiness. She couldn't remember. She knew only that she was glad to be awake.
It was that moment before sunrise when the sky has begun to turn gray and the world is filled with shadows. The room was still, but the yellow curtains near her bureau fluttered slightly, and fear skittered down her spine with quick spider steps. "Who's there?" Gretchen asked.
There was a sound like a sigh, and Gretchen's chest tightened in fear. Something was there. By the window. A dark presence. She could almost make out the shape of a man behind the yellow cloth.
Her voice tightened in her throat; she couldn't scream. Someone was in her room. Gretchen's mind reeled, searching for an answer. It was Kirk. Crazy Kirk Worstler--the sophomore who babbled incoherently about seekriegers and angels--had come to kill her. He had stolen into her room once before, to give her a painting. It was a picture of mermaids, a coded message that only he could decipher. . . .
"Kirk?" she whispered. Her voice sounded loud in the still and silent room.
Gretchen sat up. "Kirk?" she said again. She blinked, and the light shifted. The dimness of the gray lifted, like fog burning away in the sun. Suddenly, everything looked different, and she could see clearly.
There was nothing there.
The curtains sagged, and Gretchen understood her mistake. The folds fell at odd angles, suggesting a human form. But the presence she sensed earlier had disappeared completely.
"Dream cobwebs," Gretchen said aloud. That's what her father, Johnny Ellis, called it when you woke up and still had traces of your nightmares clinging to your mind. She pushed back her covers and swung her legs over the side of her bed, and something tore at her ankle.
Gretchen screamed, jumping backward as her cat, Bananas, tumbled from beneath the bedskirt. The feline rolled onto her back playfully, then sat up and curled her tail around her feet, as if nothing had happened and she had no idea why Gretchen was acting so dramatic.
"Cat--" Gretchen started.
Bananas just looked at her, then nonchalantly began to groom her paw.
"Licking my flesh from your claws?" Gretchen asked, rubbing the scratch on her foot. It wasn't bad, really, but it did itch. As if she was offended by the question, the orange and white cat turned and strutted out the half-open door.
As the striped tail disappeared, Gretchen again glanced toward the window. It was just a dream, she told herself.
The light shone through the curtains now, and she could see the shape of the tree beyond the window. There was nothing left of the dark presence . . . nothing but the feeling of dread that still sat in Gretchen's chest.
Gretchen yanked off her nightgown and pulled on a pair of red running shorts. She tugged on her sports bra and then ducked into an ancient T‑shirt advertising the Old Mill, a cafe in one of the neighboring towns. When she'd lived in Manhattan, Gretchen used to run along the reservoir in Central Park. It was near her Upper East Side apartment, and Gretchen enjoyed running beside the water . . . and the fact that an enormous chain-link fence surrounded the reservoir. She could see it, but she couldn't fall in. Gretchen didn't like water.
Gretchen had never run much at the summer house. There were no sidewalks along the street by her house, so it wasn't really convenient. But now that she and her father were going to be living here full-time, she would have to find a way. Running was what kept her head clear in the cold months. And even though it was only the end of September, the mornings were already turning chilly.
"What are you doing here?" Gretchen asked as she tramped into the kitchen. Her father was sitting at the Formica table, sipping from a cup of coffee and halfheartedly skimming the New York Times.
"I live here, remember?" Johnny said. He smiled at her, but it was a smile like a heavy weight--as if it was an effort to make it happen.
"Don't pretend like you're some kind of early riser." Gretchen reached for a banana. "It's six-thirty."
"Couldn't sleep."
Gretchen frowned. "That's not good."
Johnny shrugged. "It happens." He took another long pull of coffee. "I'll feel better once everything arrives."
He meant the things from their Manhattan apartment. Once Johnny had given up the lease, it had taken only two hours for the building manager to find a new tenant. They had been replaced in true New York City style--immediately and without mercy. "When do the movers get here?" Gretchen asked.
Gretchen nodded. She would feel better once her things had arrived, too. Even though she would miss living in Manhattan, she was ready to close that chapter of her life, to write The End above it instead of having the pages go on and on with no clear purpose. Besides, she thought, we need the money.
When her mother had moved out, she had kept custody of most of the funds. Yvonne was an heiress and knew about investments; Johnny had never been in charge of the finances before. So, for a few years, things went on exactly as they had before: Manhattan private school, expensive rent for the apartment, trips abroad. Then, quite suddenly, Johnny realized that they were out of money. A few bad investments and several years of living beyond their means had left them in terrible debt. As a result, they were abandoning the apartment and living in what Gretchen liked to think of as "the ancestral home"--the old farmhouse her grandfather had bought more than half a century ago, which Johnny had inherited, and which he owned free and clear.

Party centers staying open

BRIDGEPORT — Fred Fryman will keep his stores open pending the appeal of a closure order announced Friday by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine....
If it was a dispensary I would understand bc it would be helping people in distress but everyone knew people were dying, being put in mentalwards and now a connect to cancer, from this stuff. And this guy had to know that. I wonder how much stuff they didn't find. They bust someone for drugs, they forfeit all property. This guy should be lucky they didn't take his stores, ungreatful prick. He is criminal in denial.

I have a number of busy RSS feeds for which I only find a subset of the messages to be of interest to me. Is there a way to configure Google reader to only display certain RSS items that match particular keywords rather than giving me the entire feed?
closed as off-topic by Al E., pnuts, jonsca♦ Nov 10 '14 at 21:41
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I don't know of a way of doing it directly in Google Reader however Yahoo have a particularly nice rss/atom feed processing engine called Yahoo Pipes. This allows you to pull a number of feeds from other places apply translations and filtering to them, and then re-publish the modified feed. You can then set Google Reader (Or any other preferred RSS reader for that matter) to subscribe to the newly published Yahoo Pipes RSS feed. The interface is drag-n-drop. You literally build "pipes". Plus there is a full gallery of other peoples published pipes that you can use as examples, or even as components to your own pipe.
There's a GreaseMonkey script called Google Reader Filter which allows you to specify lists of words to kill - if the word appears in the title, that item gets dimmed. More info here and here
Yes! You can do this in Google reader, but I don't think you can set up as a permanent search.
Reader also gives you the ability to search within an individual feed, which is also helpful. So if you subscribe to the TechCrunch feed, you can search for "Twitter" within the feed "TechCrunch" and get back a bunch of articles from MG Siegler, God bless him.
There is not a way to save a filter within Reader, but you can perform a search (you can search within a folder/tag) that you would like to save and you can copy the url from your browser's address bar or save it as a bookmark. When you would like to see those results again you can click the bookmark and the same search will be run.
Take a look at this greasemonkey script from PostRank, http://labs.postrank.com/gr. It allows filtering of feeds in google reader based on its rankings. If you don't find their rankings useful, then their greasemonkey script itself may potentially be useful in determining how to create your own script.
Unfortunately Google Reader is not evolving much.
You'll have to use a third party tool.
I use Feedrinse. It's free and is simple enough.
You can create a feed out of it. Just put your keywords into it and the site, e.g.
Afaik you can use pretty much all google operators for google alerts

Are disabled ineligible for U.S. rights?
On the injustice of slavery, Thomas Jefferson once wrote: "As it is we have the wolf by the ear. We can neither hold him nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale and self preservation is in the other." The Colonies were at odds then, as it weighed carefully the question of morality vs. self preservation; of individual rights and freedoms vs. the greater good.
Today, we continue to weigh individual rights and freedoms against self preservation as it relates to issues of our time such as gun control, abortion, taxes or even the use of fossil fuels. Conspicuously absent from debate, however, are the accepted practices of government long-term care through Medicaid.

What Is a Carbohydrate?
In This Article:
All About Complex Carbohydrates
Simple carbohydrates (simple sugars) are molecules of single sugar units or pairs of small sugar units bonded together. Complex carbohydrates (complex sugars) are compounds of long strands of many simple sugars linked together.
Now that you know what you shouldn't load up on, let's take a look at the foods you should eat. By now, you should be clued-in to which foods are rich in complex carbohydrates (pasta, grains, breads, cereal, legumes, and vegetables). Although they're actually made from hundreds—or even thousands—of simple sugars linked together, they react quite differently inside your body. After you ingest a complex carbohydrate (or starch), several enzymes break it down into its simplest form, called glucose.
Glucose is the simple sugar that your body recognizes and absorbs. All types of carbohydrate (simple and complex) must be broken down and converted into glucose before your body can absorb and use it for energy.
If all carbs wind up as glucose, why can't we just eat simple sugars? I've already touched on the first reason. Many simple sugars are nutrition zeroes, whereas complex carbs often provide phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, and even fiber, depending on the food.
Hyperglycemia is a condition resulting in abnormally high blood-glucose (blood-sugar) concentration. Hyper means "too much," glyce means "glucose," and emia means "in the blood." Hypoglycemia is characterized by abnormally low blood sugar. Here, hypo means "too little." Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of blood-sugar regulation usually caused by the body's inability to either produce enough insulin or use it effectively.
In fact, your best complex carbs include vegetables and whole grains (not the white, refined stuff). Check out this comparison: a large baked sweet potato (high-quality, complex carb) versus a 20-ounce bottle of cola (simple carb). Although both provide about 280 calories, that's where the similarity ends. The sweet potato supplies potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin C, and significant fiber, along with several other vitamins and minerals. And the cola—you probably guessed—provides zilch. Just plain sugar (18.5 straight teaspoons!). What's more, the sweet potato provides you with a fuller and more satisfied feeling. As you can see, eating complex carbs certainly does make a difference, even though it all ends up as glucose.
Another reason to choose complex carbohydrates is that the glucose created during digestion gets released into your blood more slowly. Simple carbohydrates are already broken down—they go straight into the blood, resulting in what is unofficially known as the "sugar rush"—whereas complex carbohydrates are larger molecules that must be broken down. As your body processes complex carbs, small glucose molecules are released into the blood over an extended period of time. This helps to regulate blood-sugar levels, especially in people who may have problems with their blood sugars (for example, people with hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or diabetes mellitus).
For the best regulation of problematic blood-sugar levels, choose carbohydrates that supply soluble fiber, including oatmeal, apples, sweet potatoes, beans, artichokes, grapefruits, squash, peas, brussels sprouts, and oranges.
Food for Thought
Some excellent sources of carbohydrates include fruits, vegetables, legumes, brown rice, barley, oatmeal, whole grain break, whole wheat tortillas, high-fiber cereal, and high-fiber crackers
How Much Carbohydrate Should You Eat?
As mentioned earlier, no less than 40 percent of your diet should consist of carbohydrates, specifically, complex carbohydrates. Most athletes and growing children and adolescents will need far more carbs than this, though. But no matter how high or low you go—always make the bulk of your carbs healthy ones.

Is there a master index of all the images available in the Wizards of the Coast Art Gallery files? When I want to find a specific image, I have to open the file for each individual issue of Dragon/Dungeon magazine. The WotC search tool doesn't appear to index the images in the Art Gallery files. Neither does Google because the files are behind the DDI paywall. I would like to just search an index that tells me what Dungeon/Dragon issue contains the image and then I can just open the one file from the Art Gallery Archive for that issue. Am I'm missing something?

Despite the scientific consensus on the urgent need to address the causes of climate change, a stubborn attachment to economic growth by policymakers threatens to disrupt any effective response to the growing environmental crisis. Interim updates in the run up to December's major Climate Conference in Copenhagen revealed that emissions and temperatures are accelerating more rapidly than expected - leading many to ask why governments and political leaders are doing so little to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change.[1]
This long-standing gulf between government rhetoric and action was preoccupying scientists attending the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change in the Danish capital during March, and many of these specialists have since engaged in activism of a kind not seen since the period of nuclear proliferation during the 1950s and 1960s. Acknowledging the failure of governments to date, experts at the meeting urged world leaders to resist the influence of vested interests and act decisively to avert a series of devastating ecological and social consequences.
Whilst Nicholas Stern, one of the UK's leading climate change scientists and author of the Stern report, berated the British government's failure to pursue strong and effective policies, other outspoken and prominent scientists took to the street in protest. Dr. James Hansen, head of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS), joined more than 1,000 campaigners in Coventry (UK) as part of a Climate Change Day of Action in March.[2] Demonstrators similarly voiced concerns over government inaction at the Put People First and Climate Camp protests during the G20 Summit in London. Dr. Hansen, like many in the climate change movement, believes that our politicians are failing the planet, and that direct action through protests is now crucial in order to combat heavy lobbying from the business sector that has prevented the necessary legislative interventions.[3]
What these scientists-cum-activists now faced is the same barrier to progress that campaigners have expressed for decades: a stubborn adherence to economic growth and corporate welfare by policymakers. So entrenched is the attachment to continually expanding the economy that Gordon Brown, acting as 'chancellor' of the G20 Summit, made the resumption of global economic growth a key target for the meeting. Ministers hope that the trillion dollar stimulus that was agreed upon will go a long way to re-establishing economic 'normality'. More recently, the same ministers pledged billions to the world's lender of last resort – the IMF, to provide additional debt-based credit to stimulate growth around the world.[4] The underlying rationale behind these policies is that governments must preserve economic growth at all costs, and the best way to safeguard growth is by protecting those businesses that generate the most income.
Profiting from Climate Change
The danger of continuing such a 'growth at all costs' approach is amplified when only financially profitable solutions to the climate crisis are pursued by governments. In most industrialised countries the largest and most influential businesses are oil corporations and car manufacturers that wield significant lobbying power over governments, and a responsibility to their shareholders before any commitment to reduce CO2 emissions.[5]
Given both the overriding commitment by corporations to profit and a dependency by the population on the consumption of oil, there is little incentive for these industries to encourage people to consume less fossil fuel. As one example, car manufactures have traditionally prioritised speed and aesthetics over efficiency, and some of the most fuel efficient cars available today are less economical in fuel use than those available over two decades ago – particularly in the US.[6] Whilst this approach has contributed to gross domestic product (GDP) and generated huge incomes for the car industry, the average 'miles per gallon' usage in US cars is currently less than it was in the 1908 model T Ford.[7]
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
A spiralling level of economic and financial competition between nations is also stifling effective agreement and action on emission reductions, whilst continuing to aggravate the often-tense relationship between countries in the Global North and South. Given the competitive nature of the global economy, most governments resist enacting tough legislation to curb emissions in the fear of losing their competitive financial edge. They prefer instead to use less effective market-based mechanisms that will facilitate a continued prioritisation of economic growth.
Green taxes on driving cars or flying in airplanes discriminate against the poor and are only half measures compared to stricter legislation, such as outright bans on cars in cities or domestic flights. Despite being a key mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, setting an agreed 'cap' on emission levels and then allowing some companies to 'trade' their allowances to other firms for profitdoesn't reduce emissions as effectively as simply legislating for larger reductions. Whilst strict legislation would force corporations to innovate greener technology, 'Cap and Trade' results in incremental and insufficient adjustments to emissions with a view to creating new markets and expanding profits. Carbon offsets are an increasingly popular way of reducing emissions, and present yet another business opportunity that contributes to GDP. Palliative measures such as planting trees or purchasing offsets sold by 'greener industries', while at the same time pursuing business as usual, does little to mitigate the unsustainable and damaging activities that emit greenhouse gases in the first place.
An understanding of how business opportunity has trumped effective policy can be drawn from a host of other market friendly solutions to global warming. Bio-fuel expansion accelerates climate change through increased deforestation, the destruction of ecosystems, peat drainage, and an increasing use of nitrate fertilisers.[8] Policies that encourage 'clean coal' production or carbon capture and storage (CCS) help governments to justify the continued building of coal plants, thereby appealing to the fossil fuel lobby and obfuscating the deeper issues. And the nuclear lobby is using climate change to revive their flagging industry despite serious concerns over hazardous wastes, a lengthy development process, and clear evidence of its marginal capacity to reduce emissions.[9]
Ultimately, none of these options addresses our over-reliance on fossil fuels, the problems with continued industrial expansion, or the need for more sustainable modes living and working. Instead of limiting advertising, restricting the overuse of pollutants or legislating for deeper cuts in emissions in key polluting industries, governments and corporations have adopted a strategy that leaves the average citizen feeling responsible for solving the climate crisis themselves.
The tendency of governments to trust business models and not strong legislation is skilfully masked by shifting guilt and responsibility onto 'consumers', and much of the public debate still remains focussed around recycling, changing light bulbs and re-using carrier bags. By reducing their carbon footprints and making choices that are more responsible in lifestyle and consumption habits, people in the developed world may try to live more sustainable lives. Whilst engagement by the public is crucial, and personal adjustments are necessary, consumer measures are limited in their effectiveness and generally only possible in the richest countries.
Moreover, the ideal of 'consumer choice' in goods and services is predicated on the continued consumption of natural resources, the pollution from which is one of the main drivers of climate change. By any assessment, it would take decades for consumer preferences to re-orient the current model of production and consumption that remains driven by the need to increase profit levels and share prices endlessly.
A more suitable strategy would be for governments to enact legislation targeting the source of emissions, for example by regulating the exploitation of natural resources by industrial producers, including the full environmental costs of production into the price of goods, and discouraging the all-pervading consumer culture that is increasingly the focus of life, even in the developing world. These and similar measures would shift the responsibility away from the end 'consumer' who is presently encouraged to continue over-consuming, albeit more conscientiously.
Revisiting the Limits of Growth
Endless economic growth is clearly unsustainable as GDP can only increase through the continued production and consumption of the world's resources. This paradigm, despite its application to almost all aspects of international and domestic policies, is inherently flawed since we only have finite resources and a limited capacity to absorb emissions. As the oft-quoted UK Interdependence report by the New Economics Foundation estimated, if all countries consumed as much as the US per capita, we would require over five planets worth of resources to survive.[10]
The relentless process of economic expansion largely relies on inputs from nature, and consequently ravages the environment whilst releasing huge quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. A recent report by the Sustainable Development Commission in the UK summarised the conflict between growth and the environment, stating; "In the last quarter of a century the global economy has doubled, while an estimated 60% of the world's ecosystems have been degraded. Global carbon emissions have risen by 40% since 1990 (the Kyoto Protocol 'base year'). Significant scarcity in key resources – such as oil – may be less than a decade away."[11]
Writing previously in the New Scientist, Tim Jackson, the report's main author, equated emissions rates to consumption rates and calculated that, if we factor in moderate economic growth, the necessary cuts in emissions will require an 11-fold reduction in the current European average consumption rate.[12] Yet any coherent plan, requisite technology or financing to achieve this universal decarbonisation of the world's economy is still far from being realised.
There are wider social issues that accompany an entirely growth-based approach to economic development. For example, numerous studies have demonstrated that economic growth is not an adequate measure of wellbeing or happiness. As a society, despite a phenomenal increase in material wealth, we are no happier now than we were in the 1970s.[13] If fairly distributed, the proceeds from growth can be important, particularly in the developing world where it can significantly enhance wellbeing by helping to secure basic human needs. But once these needs have been met, as is largely the case in rich countries, increases in wealth cease to contribute significantly to wellbeing.[14]
Even as a means of poverty reduction, economic growth is extremely inefficient and uneven in its benefits. The proceeds of growth are not distributed fairly enough to justify an adherence to the 'trickle down' theory[15] and there is no coherent global welfare system to compensate the increasing numbers of 'losers' in the global market system. Not only has inequality in wealthier countries increased in recent decades, but levels of inequality between countries also continue to rise.[16] The minimal quantities of aid redistributed by donor countries to compensate those who cannot afford to pay market prices for their essential goods and services is also fast dwindling, as donor countries have fewer resources to spare in the wake of the worsening global financial crisis.[17]
The poor in the developing world also suffer disproportionately from the 'externalities of growth'. As demand for more goods continues to rise, and resources are extracted and then consumed as products – often many thousands of miles away – various hazardous by-products are created along the way.[18] These include toxic chemicals used by the extractive industries, chemical fertilisers used by agri-business and carbon emissions from machinery and transport.
Not only can poorer countries simply not afford to address many of the environmental consequences of this process, they will often be the first to be threatened by the consequences of climate change as it affects agricultural production. Up to 85 percent of the population in some of the poorest countries depend directly on crops, livestock, fisheries or forests for their daily income or sustenance,[19] and estimates suggest that crop yields could reduce by a third in many poorer countries by 2050 as a direct result of global warming.[20] Sub-Saharan Africa, the smallest contributor to CO2 emissions, will be the hardest hit.
There is a growing acknowledgement amongst scientists and campaigners that the only way out of the quagmire of growth is an immediate shift in policy to favour public and environmental interests over those of big business and the profit imperative. But it is also necessary to achieve a wider appreciation of how the pursuit of economic growth accelerates global warming and mitigates prevention – a basic fact that should play a key role in climate change campaigns. Without greater public awareness of the political and ideological obstructions to action, governments are likely to continue reinventing the same competitive, growth-centric policies that are the root cause of the climate crises.
Only public engagement can finally urge governments to act more decisively on climate change, although this involvement must go beyond individual efforts to recycle waste, buy responsibly or reduce carbon footprints. The media has already well documented the role of non-violent protests in reshaping public opinion and policy, and the recent heavy-handed approach by the UK government to squash the G20 protests signals a growing concern amongst policymakers of how informed citizens can quickly damage their political reputation. It is time to step up efforts to educate, engage and mobilise world opinion on the real causes and solutions to climate change, enabling the global public to take the lead in forcing governments to act.

STEUBENVILLE - Nate Cline's epiphany - or, at least, his first one - came in the wake of a suggestion more than a decade ago from one of his professors at Waynesburg College in Pennsylvania.
"They'd started a community access channel in the area and were looking for programming," said Cline, a communications major. "I'd been writing a column for a newspaper anyway, and one of my professors came to me and (suggested) turning it into a program."
Cline, an avid outdoorsman, didn't hesitate at the chance to translate his printed words into a video homage to his hobby.

POPULAR HUNTING SHOW — Nate Cline spends hours editing footage of turkey and deer hunts for his cable show, "Tree Stand Buddy's Game On," which airs three times a week on the Direct TV and Dish television, averaging 400,000 viewers a week. Cline will be launching a new show, "Game On Gobblers," in the spring that will focus on turkeys. -- Linda Harris
"My passion has always been hunting," said Cline, who bagged his first deer when he was just 10 years old. "When I was a freshman, as soon as class was over I'd head out into the woods to go hunting or just to be outdoors. I thought I was wasting time if I didn't do one of those."
He graduated in 2001 and got a job at WTOV-TV in Steubenville, allowing him to fine-tune his production skills while working as a jack-of-all-trades at the television station. "I learned so much while I was there about being a reporter, a producer, an editor and cameraman," he said. "But the last five years I was there I was thinking about making a career change."
Cline recalls how back then, whenever he went to the police station on assignment "guys would tell me, 'You should take the test' and I'd say no, I'm happy where I'm at. But toward the end I was saying, 'You know, I may do it.'"
He made the change in 2008, taking a job as patrolman with the Steubenville Police Department a job he says better suits his personality. "At the news station, you're always watching what happens," he explains. "Now, I have a hand in doing something about it."
That career redirection also gave him the flexibility he needed to develop and market his show to a broader audience, an opportunity he couldn't pass up. With the help of his college buddies, Robby Gilbert and Rich Harr, as well as his brother, Jesse, he set to work developing what has turned into a wildly popular satellite show, "Tree Stand Buddy's Game On." Now airing on the Pursuit Channel (Direct television Channel 608 or Dish Channel 240), it plays three times a week and dishes up a host of "this is how we do it" suggestions and demonstrations to an average of 400,000 viewers a week.
The show's premise is simple enough: Cline and his carefully-selected team of hunters from across the country film their hunts, then he edits the footage, turning it into must-see TV. Many of the hunts are here in Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, though he and his staff go on location throughout the country as needed.
"Our show right now is basically a deer and turkey show," he said. "But this spring, we're also going to start a show, 'Game On Gobblers.' It will be an all-turkey show."
Cline, a 1997 graduate of Edison High School, said the business, like his staff, has grown over the years, "at least doubling every year." He has hunters at locations around the country now who contribute to the show. Even his fiancee, Melissa Mendenhall, has gotten into the act, designing some of their apparel and even helping him film.
"We're at the point where people are coming to us, we don't have to go banging on doors," he said, though adding he's always in the market for more sponsors. "Back in 2004, I remember thinking there was no way we could reach this point - I'd seen companies come and I'd seen them go. Being able to achieve this much in what, eight years, is an accomplishment."
He remembers releasing his first DVD in 2004. "Four of us went out to the Sherwood Archery Club in Island Creek, with a DVD I'd made and printed in my basement. I printed 20 or 30 of them, and we sold it for $5 from the tailgate of my truck. Now, I do a minimum run of 1,000 DVDs a couple times a year."
He said they hunt turkey in spring and deer in the fall. Summers he spends in his basement office, editing footage of their hunts - it takes about 20 hours of editing per episode. Throughout the winter he does trade shows.
"People think hunting season is is my busy time, but it's not," he said. "Hunting season is when I get to take a breath and go out and do what I actually like."
They film hunts around the country, "though the majority of stuff happens here, in the Ohio Valley, and western Pennsylvania." He figures part of the show's appeal is that viewers "relate to our hunts" because they live and hunt in so many of the same areas.
Cline said they've already hit the 5,000 "friends" ceiling on Facebook, the maximum allowed. He just signed up for Twitter earlier this year and already has 1,150 followers.

Here's the situation. I have an NSTimer in Appdelegate.m that performs a method that checks the users location and logs him out if he is out of a region. When that happens I want to load the login view controller. However, with the following lines of code, I am able to see the VC but if I click on a textfield to type, I get a sigbart. Any ideas how to load the initial VC from app delegate correctly?

LoginViewController *loginViewController = (LoginViewController *)[mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Login"];
[self.window addSubview:loginViewController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
