TRIPOLI/TAWARGA, Libya | Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:50pm EDT
(Reuters) – Libyan forces backed by NATO bombers struck at loyalist troops dug in around Muammar Gaddafi's hometown on Wednesday, as refugees streamed out of the besieged bastion fearing a bloody showdown in the coming days.
As people in Tripoli and other cities marked the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan with special savor following the end of 42 years of one-man rule, anti-Gaddafi fighters at the front around the coastal city of Sirte kept up pressure on its defenders, whom they have given till Saturday to surrender.
NATO said its planes bombed Gaddafi forces near Sirte on Tuesday, targeting tanks and other armored vehicles as well as military facilities. They also hit targets in the area of Bani Walid, another Gaddafi stronghold 150 km (100 miles) southeast of Tripoli. Anti-Gaddafi fighters said on the same day that they had advanced to within 30 km (20 miles) of the desert town.
On Wednesday NTC fighters said they clashed with Gaddafi forces patrolling in the area west of Sirte.
At Tawarga, west of Sirte, civilians streamed in laden vehicles along the coastal highway, some flying white flags.
Passing through a checkpoint set up by the forces of the interim ruling council, the NTC, many of the refugees said they feared a major battle, since they did not expect those holding Gaddafi's tribal homeland to give up without a fight.
"I need to take my family where it is peaceful. Here there will be a big fight," said one man, who gave his name as Mohammed.
Ali Faraj, a fighter for the opposition forces which forced Gaddafi into hiding last week, said he doubted people in Sirte would willingly join the revolt: "There will be a big fight for Sirte. It's a dangerous city. It's unlikely to rise up. A lot of people there support Gaddafi. It's too close to Gaddafi and his family. It is still controlled by them."
There is no independent confirmation of conditions in Sirte, which was developed into a prosperous city of 100,000 during the 42 years Gaddafi ruled Libya. NTC officials say power and water are largely cut off and supplies are low.
In Tripoli, after dawn, worshippers packed Martyrs' Square, which was named Green Square in the Gaddafi era, chanting "Allahu Akbar (God is greatest), Libya is free."
Fighters on rooftops guarded against any attack by Gaddafi loyalists and sniffer dogs checked cars. Even the interim interior minister, Ahmed Darat, was searched.
"This is the most beautiful Eid and most beautiful day in 42 years," said Hatem Gureish, 31, a merchant from Tripoli.
"Gaddafi made us hate our lives … We come here to express our joy at the end of 42 years of repression and deprivation."
Fatima Mustafa, 28, a pregnant woman wearing a black chador, said: "This is a day of freedom, a day I cannot describe to you. It's as if I own the world. I'm glad I haven't given birth yet so my daughter can be born into a free Libya."
But the war is not over yet, with Gaddafi on the run and his loyalists defying an ultimatum set by Libya's interim council.
Libyans who revolted against Gaddafi in February needed NATO air power to help them win, but, given their country's unhappy colonial history, they remain wary of foreign meddling.
Their interim leaders, trying to heal a nation scarred by Gaddafi's cruelly eccentric ways, may want United Nations help in setting up a new police force, but see no role for international peacekeepers or observers, a U.N. official said.
"They are very seriously interested in assistance with policing to get the public security situation under control and gradually develop a democratically accountable public security force," Ian Martin, special U.N. envoy for post-conflict planning in Libya, said at the United Nations in New York.
"We don't now expect military observers to be requested," he said. "It's very clear that the Libyans want to avoid any kind of military deployment of the U.N. or others."
The National Transitional Council (NTC), keen to assert its grip and relieve hardship after six months of war, won a $1.55 billion cash injection when the U.N. sanctions committee released banknotes in Britain in frozen Gaddafi accounts.
France has asked the committee to unfreeze 1.5 billion euros
($2.16 billion) of Libyan assets in France, a French government source said on Wednesday, adding that Libya has 7.6 billion euros of assets parked in French banks.
The source also said that Russia and China, which have not formally recognized the NTC, would send representatives to a "Friends of Libya" conference in Paris on Thursday to discuss support for political and economic rebuilding.
The timing of the meeting, on September 1, strikes a chord for many Libyans, who for four decades have been obliged to celebrate the date as the anniversary of the military coup that brought Colonel Gaddafi to power in 1969.
Despite the killing and shortages of fuel, power and water that Tripoli has endured since Gaddafi's fall, worshippers in Martyrs' Square were mostly ebullient about the future.
But Nouri Hussein, 42, an engineer, said that while he was glad Gaddafi was gone, he feared the guns in the hands of unruly fighters: "There is apprehension about what next. The rebels should not be blinded with the ecstasy of victory."
NTC leaders have told their forces to treat prisoners with respect — in contrast with the reported killing and torture of detainees by Gaddafi's forces — but Amnesty International said its staff had seen anti-Gaddafi fighters threaten and detain wounded opponents, notably black Libyans and foreigners.
"The council must do more to ensure that their fighters do not abuse detainees, especially the most vulnerable ones such as black Libyans and sub-Saharan Africans," Amnesty's Claudio Cordone said in a statement after one incident in Tripoli.
"Many risk reprisals as a result of allegations that Gaddafi forces used 'African mercenaries' to commit widespread violations during the conflict," the lobby group added.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - St. Clairsville got almost everything it wanted from its game against invading Columbus Africentric.
The Red Devils played in front of a packed house against a quality opponent, but Nubians' standout player Kenny Robinson sent the crowd home unhappy when he connected on a three-point bomb from well beyond NBA range to give Africentric a 61-58 victory.
"It was a street fight and that's what we knew it would be," said St. C. head coach Kim Clifford. "That kind of game is exactly why we scheduled (Africentric). We value the experience of playing in a game where every possession is huge."The Red Devils (1-1) will return to Buckeye 8 play on Tuesday when Buckeye Local visits.
While the game may eventually prove beneficial down the road, the Red Devils aren't into moral victories.
"I don't look at any loss as a good loss," Clifford said. "I know I don't want to lose; the kids don't want to lose and the (assistant) coaches don't want to lose. I think it can be a very good learning experience and that's what we're going to take it as."
The loss snaps St. Clairsville's 23-game home-court winning streak. Weir High was the last invading team to hand the Devils a loss on John Jenkins Court.
Fact Box
Africentric 61, St. Clairsville 58
Africentric 10 21 16 14 - 61
St. Clairsville 19 16 14 9 - 58
AFRICENTRIC: Saunders 5, 0-3 10; Tucker 7, 0-1 15; Cornish 2, 0-0 5; Harrison 4, 4-6 12; Smith 0, 1-2 1; Robinson 4, 4-4 13; Manzie 2, 1-1 5; Totals: 24, 10-17 61. 3-pointers: Cornish, Robinson.

The Red Devils appeared to be on the verge of heading to a 2-0 start.
After a triple from senior Riley Carlton and a nifty reverse layup from senior Dan Monteroso, the Devils found themselves with a 54-47 upperhand.
However, as they'd done repeatedly all evening, the Nubians stayed calm, played within themselves and began to chip away.
"Every possession was so critical tonight," Clifford said. "I don't know if it was fatigue or what, but there were times we didn't take care of the ball on every possession. You also have to get good looks every possession. But, give Africentric's kids credit because they took it in there, got a couple of clutch steals and rebounds that they needed to get back into the game."
The Nubians scored 11 unanswered points, but got a little bit conservative and St. C. was able to tie the game at 58 with just under 30 seconds to go on a Monteroso leaner.
Despite having three timeouts in his pocket, Africentric head coach Michael Bates elected to let his players run it through. They worked the ball into the frontcourt, seemingly had no offense started before Robinson got free and fired the game winner.
"That's the cruelty of basketball," Clifford said of Robinson's shot.
St. Clairsville, which hit 10 triples in the game, led 19-10 after one and thanks to a banked in trey at the horn by senior Jerrid Marhefka, the Devils led 35-31 at the intermission.
Monteroso and senior Adam Jeffries carried the load in the third for the Devils, but the Nubians made it a 49-47 St. C. lead after three.
Monteroso - the Boston College football verbal - led all scorers with 25 points. Jeffries went for 11 and Carlton finished with 10. Marhefka donated nine.
The Franklin County combine was paced by senior Cyquil Tucker's 15. Robinson, who battled foul trouble in the first half, finished with 13 points and five rebounds. Trevon Saunders, who was a thorn in the Devils' side on both ends, added 10.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Inguinal Hernia - Topic Overview
If you have a hernia, it will not heal on its own. Surgery is the only way to treat a hernia.
If your hernia does not bother you, you most likely can wait to have surgery. Your hernia may get worse, but it may not. In some cases, hernias that are small and painless may never need to be repaired.
Most people with hernias have surgery to repair them, even if they do not have symptoms. This is because many doctors believe surgery is less dangerous than strangulation, a serious problem that occurs when part of your intestine gets trapped inside the hernia.
But you may not need surgery right away. If the hernia is small and painless and you can push it back into your belly, you may be able to wait.
Babies and young children are more likely to have tissue get trapped in a hernia. If your child has a hernia, he or she will need surgery to repair it.
A hernia may come back after surgery. To reduce the chance that this will happen, stay at a healthy weight. Do not smoke, avoid heavy lifting, and try not to push hard when you have a bowel movement or pass urine.

First a bit of background:
I have most other kinds of physical and virtual "stuff' organized, but over the years I have accumulated scores, if not hundreds, of cables & adapters from a variety of computers, printers, external HDs, GPS devices, monitors, speakers, PDAs, cell phones, DVD players, routers, scanners, ...
When I've traveled, moved homes over the years, or just relocated things between rooms, these would get bundled together or with their devices, though over time they eventually became separated from the devices. They are now trapped in a big container like slumbering snakes.
When I can't find the right adapter for a device, I often find something similar. For electronic connectors, such as USB cables, this isn't too bad, though not everything is a USB-USB cable. There are phone cables, USB/mini-USB cables, ethernet cables, and much more. For power adapters, the situation is more problematic: one doesn't want to match the wrong amps to the device - too low and there's not enough current.
, too much and one gets smoke. (Update 1: I realize from the answers that I was wrong about current and I missed the issue of polarity.)
Now, the question: If I had done this right a long time ago, I'd have labeled every cable to match its device. How else can one sort a snake pit of cables and adapters?
For now, my best guess is to practically start over with a full inventory, as follows:
- Inventory electronic devices
- Find matching cables & adapters, label these and store in labeled zip-lock bags
- For generic cables (e.g. USB/USB) - bundle these into a labeled bag.
- For device-specific cables and adapters, label the cable and place in a labeled bag.
- Donate/recycle unwanted devices (with cables)
- Dispose of non-working devices (and cables) and unmatched cables with municipal computer waste facility. (NB: Many also take batteries, so no need to dispose of those in the standard landfill waste stream.)
For some types of cables (e.g. computer/printer, USB/USB, etc.), there need not be a matching device. For power adapters, there usually is. However, some types of adapters can be used with multiple devices and I am not sure how to organize these into generic bundles, like USB cables, or if even doing that is a bad idea. Unlike USB cables, it doesn't seem clear that there's a generic name, like "1 amp cable, with medium-sized connection", so cataloging seems rather difficult, other than to ID the device.
Are there other methods for organizing that are better?
Note 1: By the way, I found that searching Google for [how to organize cables] tends to lead to results about organizing those in use, to avoid cluttering a desk or floor area - I don't have that problem. I'm interested in organizing those not currently in use, so that I don't have to waste a lot of time when I do want to use a particular device. When I think of sorting or organizing, I also think of cataloging, but I can't seem to create anything better than the "obvious" cataloging method.
Note 2: Assuming that I do a full inventory, any improvements to the above plan are very welcome. I've not done this before, and would prefer not to do it again.
Update 2: My revised plan, based on the answers given, is as follows:
- Inventory electronic devices
- Inventory and sort cables and adapters into separate groups
- Label all adapters with device (if possible), polarity (test with a multimeter if necessary), voltage, current
- For each device, find matching cables & adapters, label these and store in labeled zip-lock bags. More precisely:
- Label any non-obvious cables (USB, ethernet, etc. are rather obvious)
- For device-specific cables and adapters, label and place in a labeled bag.
- For generic cables - bundle these into a labeled bag.
- Donate/recycle/sell unwanted devices (with cables)
- Dispose of non-working devices (and cables, adapters) and orphaned cables/adapters with municipal computer waste facility. (NB: Many also take batteries, so no need to dispose of those in the standard landfill waste stream.)
- Periodically cull unused devices or cables (i.e. set a tickler) - best to get these in the hands of others that could use them, or at least out of the way.
Update 3: A little plug (no pun intended) for others wanting to find electronics recycling centers: I found that earth911.com was very helpful. I overlooked mentioning it earlier, as I didn't need such info, but anyone else happening on this Q&A may not know where to recycle their stuff. Unfortunately, it looks like it's a US-only site.
Update 4: I've learned today that most cellphones (excepting iPhones, it seems) now use a standard micro-USB charger. So, that may imply that most old phone chargers can now be discarded/recycled, assuming the old phone is long gone. That's useful, and that environmental impact is a major reason for the standardization.

Unanswered: What is the best way to define web service entry in the project
Hi All,
I am developing mobile application in sencha touch 2.x.x. The problem i am facing is defining web service entry in the project.

The only way to dynamically change the URL is to have some service that loads the app preferences so you know what url to use. Another way is to keep the url the same but the endpoint in your server side code can differ.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Die Wohnung war definitiv ausreichend für einen Städtetrip, super nah an der Bahn und ein kleines nettes Cafe war auch direkt um die Ecke. Der Kontakt war auch sehr nett und unkompliziert. Leider war das Ausklappsofa kaputt, sodass man nicht darauf schlafen konnte und es hätte auch sauberer sein könnte. Die Gegend war grundsätzlich sehr ruhig, nur waren die Wände zum Nebenhaus sehr dünn, sodass man nachts und morgens zum Teil die Gespräche oder Streitigkeiten der Nachbarn mitanhören konnnte/musste.
Insgesamt aber ein netter Aufenthalt.
Alloggio carino, letti comodi, cucina funzionale e bagno completo e pulito!
Comodissimo alla metro: 2 min. a piedi
La persona che ci ha accolto è stata gentile e disponibile!!!
Ci tornerò di sicuro!
Io e la mia famiglia, al nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti da un ammasso di rifiuti maleodoranti di ogni genere compreso un wc rotto più accessori e contenitori dell'immondizia pieni (i contenitori sono stati vuotati a due giorni dal termine del soggiorno gli altri rifiuti erano ancora presenti), una volta entrati dalla porta esterna nel salire le scale ricoperte da una moquette non proprio igienica, un forte odore di muffa ci ha assalito.
Apriamo la porta dell'appartamento e ..... l'odore di muffa delle scale era niente a confronto di quello all'interno dell'appartamento proveniente dalla cucina unta all'inverosimile (infatti non abbiamo toccato una posata o una stoviglia), in più: buco nel muro del corridoio, appendi asciugamani nel bagno con tutti i ganci rotti, perdita d'acqua dalla parete della vasca (risolto dopo qualche giorno), tavoletta del wc rotta (sostituita oltre la metà del soggiorno), scarico del wc nel muro probabile tana per topi, due sedie su tre sporche ma una delle due era veramente sudicia (sostituite oltre la metà del soggiorno), mancanza del set di asciugamani per la terza persona (consegnatoci a metà del soggiorno), mancanza del comodino a fianco del letto e dei lampadari (nella foto dell'inserzione erano ben evidenti). Ma il top l'abbiamo raggiunto quando abbiamo avuto la conferma già al secondo giorno della presenza di topi. La mattina prima di uscire e la sera prima di coricarci piazzavamo delle esche nell'appartamento che puntualmente al nostro rientro e/o risveglio erano sparite.
Per l'agenzia in loco era impossibile la presenza di topi ma considerata la sporcizia e i rifiuti all'esterno ..... infatti sono venuti ad installare un apparecchio ad ultrasuoni oltre alle trappole chimiche già presenti in bagno e in cucina.
Il problema non sappiamo se è stato risolto, perché non abbiamo più messo esche. Tutto questo ci ha arrecato anche un danno economico oltre che morale, perché io e la mia famiglia avevamo scelto la soluzione dell'appartamento anche per cenare in casa, ma a queste condizioni di igiene non ce la siamo sentita e pertanto tutte le sere abbiamo cenato a pagamento.
Di alcuni di questi inconvenienti posseggo le foto.
The flat has a very strong smell of mold/dirty pipes. We have communicated to the property owner on the very first day and after our 21 days stay no one has come to solve this problem. On top of this, the shower has an electronic water heating device inside it, which is very dangerous. My wife and myself had electric shocks twice. We had to stay 2 days without using the shower until the property owner has replaced the old device for a new one. I wouldn't recommend this flat unless it is your last resort.
A very good location, close to the subway station, and a very good value for money! The apartment is really small but perfect for a short journey. The owners are kind and helpful. I would definitely advise this apartment.
Great studio! Just as it was described and looked exactly like the pictures. Very clean! The full kitchen was shared by two flats, but this wasn't an issue. You also get a microwave and small fridge in the studio. Bathroom was small, but worked fine for my stay with two people. Overall it was a great experience.
The pictures that are on the website are NO WHERE near what the actual apartment looked like! This property is less than filthy! There is a large misrepresentation.
I suggest that someone actually look at this property. The light switches in the hallway didn't work, the shower by no means had new cauking in it, the floor boards in the shower area are rotting and oh, 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 8 days for two people!!
There is a sink yes, nothing to wash with or dry the dishes with, we had to purchase. The dishes were mismatched from somebody's basement junk and dirty, they had to be washed before even using a glass!
This is not even close to what we expected. The pillows were flat and who knows how clean. The two bath towels which were left were well used and the hangers in the closet were so dusty, they couldn't be used....we had nothing to wipe them with unless we wanted to used one of the two towels were were supplied with as a hand towel and a towel for the floor ....
Would never trust the pictures again as a hostel would have been a better option but as the traveller, you are at the mercy of who you trusted and who took your money.
Amazing apartment with really good location! And good service! I would love to stay here again!
I won't recomend this place to any of you...
Troubles have started right from the beginnig. We were travelling in group of 3 adults. After entering the flat, it turned out that there had been foreseen one big bed (we had known about it) and a couch. Of course quality of this couch was far from mint or even good. It was old and even sitting on it wasn't possible because ages of exploatation turned materace into bear trap. Sleeping on it was a nightmare. Besides this, there were just 2 quilts (for 3 people), when on the outside there was 3 degrees Celsius - and the windows as draughty as we were sleeping on the street. It was cold and loudly as hell (under the window there was a bus stop, where - obviously - were stopping buses all the time + passengers talks, while they were waiting for their transport; in the middle of the night - it's rather not nice). For 12 days of our residence we have been given just one roll of a toilet paper... Of course, it's not hard to buy it on ourselves, but for the person who hire an appartament it would be relatively a small cost comparing to the cost of his hiring...
The shower - I have never seen such a mess. A drain has probably never been cleaned, so while having a shower you have been staying in a swamp made by hair (and god knows what else) till your ankles... And what's more, to run the shower, you had to press a button ON THE OUTSIDE of the bathroom! It took us a while to get it...
The whole adventure has finished as unfortunatelly as it has started... For that time (12 days) we have rented 2 flats on the same street from this person (IRENE); there was another adult with us. After 5 from 12 days we were suddenly forced to return to Poland (because of health problems). We wrote a message to owner 2 days before with a question how would it be then from the financial side in this situation. We have been counting at least on a small reduction for these 6 days, while we have been no longer there. Unfortunatelly, our message have remained without any answer - we have paid for 2 flats for whole the time of our residence there (12 days) and we haven't been paid even a cent of return.
Nikomu nie poleciłabym tego zakwaterowania.
Kłopoty zaczęły się już od samego początku. Podróżowaliśmy we 3 dorosłe osoby. Po wejściu do mieszkania okazało się, że do spania przewidziane jest jedno duże łóżko (o tym wiedzieliśmy) oraz sofa, która ABSOLUTNIE do spania się nie nadaje. Jest stara i nawet siedzieć na niej ciężko, bo deski wchodzą w … Spanie na tym to był koszmar. Oprócz tego były tylko 2 kołdry (dla 3 osób), a na dworzu 3 stopnie celsjusza, okna tak nieszczelne, że spaliśmy jak na ulicy. Było zimno i potwornie głośno (pod oknem przystanek autobusowy, gdzie - wiadomo - co moment podjeżdża autobus + rozmowy pasażerów oczekujących na transport. W nocy… - wątpliwa przyjemność. Na 12 dni pobytu 3 osób w łazience zastaliśmy jedną rolkę papieru toaletowego… oczywiście można sobie kupić, ale to dla wynajmującego byłby stosunkowo niewielki koszt przy cenie wynajmu… Prysznic… większego syfu nie widziałam jak żyję. Odpływ chyba nigdy nie czyszczony, więc podczas kąpieli stało się w bagnie z włosów (i strach pomyśleć czego jeszcze) po kostki…. Żeby w ogóle uruchomić prysznic trzeba było nacisnąć przycisk NA ZEWNĄTRZ łazienki ! Sporo czasu zajęło nam zanim do tego doszliśmy.
Cała przygoda skończyła się równie niefortunnie jak się zaczęła…
Na ten czas od tego samego wynajmującego (IRENE) wynajęliśmy 2 mieszkania na tej samej ulicy. Oprócz naszej trójki była jeszcze jedna dorosła osoba. Po 5 z 12 dni musieliśmy z powodów zdrowotnych nagle wrócić do Polski. Napisaliśmy wiadomość do właścicielki 2 dni wcześniej z zapytaniem jak będzie wyglądało w tej sytuacji finansowe rozliczenie. Liczyliśmy choć na niewielką zniżkę za 6 dni, w których już nie mieszkaliśmy. Niestety nasza wiadomość pozostała bez odpowiedzi, zapłaciliśmy za oba mieszkania za cały pobyt (to była przedpłata) i nie dostaliśmy ani centa zwrotu za ten czas.
Great location, but still quite far from all the major attractions. The apartment is supertiny and was even too small for two small girls. We had troubles with wi-fi, and maitenance team reacted right away, which is good. We had troubles with water draining, but noone helped us.

I have this nonlinear differential equation $d\textbf{x}/dt=f(\textbf{x})$, where $\textbf{x}\in \mathbb{R}^n$. There are results which guarantee the convergence of the dynamical system to $\textbf{x}=\textbf{0}$, and the simplest of them deal with linearising the equation about $\textbf{x}=\textbf{0}$.
But I would love to say more about the convergence. For example if $f(\textbf{x})=A\textbf{x}$, then we have results bounding the exponential convergence, with rate of convergence related to the greatest eigenvalue of $A$. Are there linearising or approximating results pertaining to the exponential stability of dynamical systems when $f(\textbf{x})$ is nonlinear? I would love to be directed to textbooks or journal papers.
EDIT: I would like to add one more relevant question. It can be proved that if the linearised system is exponentially stable, then the nonlinear system also is exponentially stable. Does the converse hold? Is there a necessary and sufficient condition using Lyapunov methods?

WEIRTON - St. John Central broke open a close game with a big third quarter and coasted to a 49-34 victory Saturday afternoon over the Madonna girls at the Bill Barrett Gymnasium.
Coach Bubba Kapral's quintet was ahead 21-18 at the half, but turned it on in the third period outscoring the Lady Blue Dons 18-6. The Lady Irish finished the period with an 11-2 run.
"They're (Madonna) playing well," said Kapral, whose team recorded its 11th win in 17 games . "They made some real nice shots early on, but that third quarter is about as good a quarter as we've played in a long time."
The loss was Madonna's second in a row and makes its next three games pivotal for making the OVAC Class A playoffs.
With senior Nicolette Sellitti swishing two threes early, the Blue Dons earned a 14-12 lead after one quarter.
The Dons increased the lead to 16-12 as Cameron Dowiak hit a jumper, but the Lady Irish scored seven straight points and seemingly got the momentum going before an Amy Davis layup stopped the run.
Fact Box
Bellaire St. John 49, Madonna 34
St. John Central 12 9 18 10 - 49
Madonna 14 4 6 10 - 34
ST. JOHN CENTRAL: Russell 6 1-4 14, Coppa 3 1-1 8, Rose 4 2-2 12, Froehlich 1 2-2 4, Alvey 3 0-0 6, DeLuca 2 1-2 5. Totals: 19 7-11 49. 3-pointers: Rose (2), Russell, Coppa; Rebounds: 32 (Russell, 11); Turnovers: 10.
MADONNA: Dowiak 2 0-4 4, Rosso 1 0-0 2, Sellitti 2 2-2 8, Platek 1 0-0 2, Davis 4 0-0 8, Bragg 1 4-5 6, Grubbs 0 2-2 2, Lammers 1 0-0 2, Kotten 0 0-2 0. Totals: 12 8-15 34. 3-pointers: Sellitti (2); Rebounds: 29 (Bragg, 9); Turnovers: 22.
"We hung in well early, but toward the end of the first half we started getting undisciplined with our defense and committing some silly fouls," said Madonna coach Don Ogden. "In the second half it just seemed like we were out of sync.
"We had no continuity. Toward the end we had to take some chances and Bellaire St. John made us pay for it."
Madonna's second half effort wasn't helped any by Sellitti getting into foul trouble. She sat out part of the second quarter and a lot of the third. She fouled out just 18 seconds into the fourth stanza.
Madonna seniors Sellitti and Davis finished with eight points apiece.
"One of our big Achilles heel is taking care of the basketball," Kapral explained. "Against Toronto we had 41 turnovers. We took much better care of the ball today. We played about as well as we can in the second half against a very good ball club. Don Ogden runs a very good program."
The Lady Irish had only seven turnovers until late in the game when Kapral inserted his reserves. They finished with 10.
Kapral said he challenged his team a little more at halftime and ratcheted up the defense. It resulted in Madonna committing 22 turnovers.
Kristen Russell led the Irish with a double-double. The senior scored 14 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. She was followed by freshman Marissa Rose's 12 points.
Freshman Monica Bragg finished with six points and led the Blue Dons on the boards with nine rebounds. She also had five blocked shots.

I don't think I have ever drawn a chibi fish before, but what better way to start a trend than to make a tutorial on "how to draw chibi Nemo", step by step. Nemo has been making headlines recently because I guess there is a second film that is supposed to be coming out in 2016. Nemo is one of my favorite Disney/Pixar characters even still today.

Visa policy is the process by which countries decide which noncitizens they wish to admit—either as short-term travelers, international students, temporary workers, or permanent immigrants. Beyond setting quotas and outlining which characteristics are most important in immigrant selection, visa policy also has a public diplomacy aspect, with visa facilitation, for example, serving as a sign of the strength of bilateral relations. The research here examines the permutations of visa policy around the world.
Illegal immigration is possible in large part because of illegal employment. This report shows the underlying drivers of illegal hiring vary based on the type of employer, the nature of the industry, state of the economy, and a country's labor market institutions, employment legislation, immigration systems, and even culture.
Notwithstanding the broad consensus on the benefits of highly skilled immigration, the economic role of less-skilled immigrants is one of the more controversial questions in the immigration debate. While less-skilled immigrants bring economic benefits for U.S. consumers, employers, and skilled workers, they impose some costs on U.S. workers competing for similar jobs.
Immigrants have been disproportionately hit by the global economic crisis that began in 2008 and now confront a number of challenges. The report, which has a particular focus on Germany, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and United States finds that the unemployment gap between immigrant and native workers has widened in many places.
Despite conventional wisdom that the U.S. immigrant workforce is shaped like an hourglass—wide at the top and the bottom but narrow in the middle— in reality immigrants are more evenly dispersed across the skills spectrum. This report shows that the fastest growth in immigrant employment since 2000 has occurred in middle-skilled jobs.

I need to evaluate the following function and want to proceed analytically as far as possible:
$F(y) =e^{ i \beta \left ( y \frac{d}{d y} \right )^2} y \, e^{-y^2/2}$
My plan is to expand into power series in $\beta$ and indentify the polynomials
$\left (y \frac{d}{d y} \right )^k (y \, e^{-y^2/2})= p_k(y) \, y \, e^{-y^2/2}$
by the recursion relation I expect them to satisfy.
Is this a sound strategy? Is there a more direct way to identify polynomials $p_k(y)$ and compute their "generating function'' $F(y)$?

It has been so long since it have written a spoiler but I just had to tonight!
It was a crazy night during the live show when all of the coaches wanted to reset the game except for Boogie! Dan, Janelle, and Britney were all in and by resetting the game neith Frank or Joe were elected from the game!
It was approx. 12:08am central time when the HOH challenge was finally completed. It came down to Ian, Britney, and Danielle lasting the longest on the boat when... Ian took the deal that he wouldn't be put up or backdoored, then Britney dropped, making Danielle the week 4 HOH!
After Danielle being down to the only one on Dan's team and having to fight for her life rit away this season I am very happy for here! Make your HOH week a good one and make some moves to secure yourself a spot in the coming weeks!
Who do you think Danielle will nominate? Will she go after coach's or will she just go after the people she wants to get out of the house? (newbies or coaches). Thoughts?
I think she will still work with Dan and she will put up people that she deems as threats in the game coach's or newbies!

With only three villagers left, each man knew one of the other two to be the newly crowned Rat Prince. Noobspoon claimed to have supernatural powers that hadn't done him any good so far. Mighty Hatman believed noobspoon and accused Bizarro. Bizarro believed noobspoon and accused Hatman. Noobspoon had a 50% chance of choosing correctly, and he and Bizarro strung Mighty Hatman to a second rocket and launched him into the sun.
As they watched the rocket leave earth, they went to congratulate each other on a job well done. As Bizarro and noobspoon shook hands, they locked eyes, and only then was the truth apparent. Noobspoon's skin burst and disintegrated, just like Byronic Man's before, and the flood of rats that spilled forth were enough to overwhelm Bizarro, whose last regret was sending his final ally careening toward the sun. Mighty Hatman would die of asphyxiation before he ever got close to burning from the intense heat.
Mighty Hatman was killed. He was not a bad dude
Noobspoon was the Rat Prince, and he devoured Bizarro, causing the rats to win!
That was a close one. Here are some interesting points.
Noobspoon was the Seer. Byronic Man chose just the right person to turn to the dark side. So Hatman isn't allowed to slap noobspoon, since he technically wasn't lying about being the Seer.
Noobspoon had awful luck with finding people, confirming good guys very shortly before they would be killed one way or another. One curious thing was that he didn't fight hard to save ZombiePlatypus, even though he knew ZP to be a good guy. Perhaps he didn't want to let on that he knew more than the average player. He did actually confirm Bizarro to be human, but that would have been irrelevant once Byronic turned somebody.
I'm a little surprised at how little discussion occurred on the last day, and how easily Hatman and Bizarro accepted noobspoon. Granted, he was mostly telling the truth, but I thought for sure once noobspoon came out that it would be seen as a suspicious move in order to gain trust. Turns out it was just a move in order to gain trust.
And that sort of highlights one of the downfalls of this setup. After Byronic turned somebody, nobody had any useful information any more. Not even past voting records could be taken into account, because anybody could have been turned. The only piece of information would be predicting who Byronic would have turned, which Bizarro attempted, unsuccessfully.
There are things I like about the barebones games, most chiefly the speed of it. Noobspoon and Byronic were both on at roughly the same times, and as the only night phase players, some night phases went extremely quickly. I was actually a little surprised that nobody suggested that the Seer must be dead since it went so quickly. It would have been an incorrect assumption, but it's one I probably would have made. Also, in the barebones games, there is more emphasis on using peoples' words in order to figure stuff out, rather than superpowers.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot of discussion on this one, perhaps partially because nobody had anything to go on for most of the time. I'm a firm supporter of the "kill the people who aren't talking" approach, and I'm glad that Byronic helped toward that end as well.
Anyway, I think that's all I have to say right now. I'm in for the next game, regardless of who is moderating it. And check it out, you get a neat new forum badge if you moderate one of these! So if you haven't yet but you've been thinking about it, you should give it a shot!

Extremely tempting. I had Netflix deliver this, Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, to me and I loved all of them.
@sasdragon: I also saw all those movies and loved them too. It's a great movie. I may pick this up.

Personal Philosophy
"It has again brought home to me quite clearly how wrong it is to use God as a stop-gap for the incompleteness of our knowledge. If in fact the frontiers of knowledge are being pushed back (and that is bound to be the case), then God is being pushed back with them, and is therefore continually in retreat. We are to find God in what we know, not in what we don't know; God wants us to realize his presence, not in unsolved problems but in those that are solved." Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1972, Letters and Papers from Prison, Enlarged Edition. New York: Macmillan.
"And I will lead the blind in a way they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them." Isaiah 42:16 (ESV)

It's Labor Day weekend and, I must admit, I'm feeling a bit lost. For the first time in 17 years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association's telethon will not be a part of my plans.
As was announced in June, MDA reached an agreeement with the ABC television network to air its annual Show of Strength telethon in primetime nationwide this Sunday night. It's the first time the telethon has aired on a single network. Until now, MDA has negotiated with stations individually to form its independent "Love Network" of stations. Since WIBW-TV is a CBS affiliate, for the first time in more than 40 years, we will not be showing the MDA telethon.
It's odd for Ralph and I because, for years, this has been a pretty busy week for us. We are finishing up editing stories with local families, finding video of MDA events held throughout the year, studying the latest research developments and attending meetings to finalize the rundowns for our local segments. Until the show moved to Sunday night two years ago, we'd plot to get up bright and early Monday morning to go on the air at 6 am (Ralph was part of the overnight broadcasts before that!) and keep the adrenaline going until 6 that night.
I mention all this because I want you to know that, while the network has changed and our professional involvement has ended, our love for the children, adults and families whom MDA serves has not. They need your love and support, just as they always have. In the past year, we lost a 10-year-old boy to Duchenne Dystrophy. A boy whose smile and laugh will always be with me. A boy who I will remember racing his older brother, who also has the disease, in his wheelchair. A boy who loved summer camp and riding four wheelers. A boy who will not grow up.
But the continued support of MDA and the research which the organization funds gives his family hope that his older brother will grow up and will realize his dreams. These are the people who it is all about.
People generally don't like change. Change is difficult. We often write off major changes as a sign something is wrong and use it to fuel negative attitudes toward an organization, business, group or individual. Sometimes, change must happen. If this change moves MDA forward and allows it to focus more resources on its mission to support families and find treatments and cures for neuromuscular diseases, then the change is a good thing. Please, do not use this change as an excuse to stop supporting MDA. The families need your help and the cures continue to be oh, so close. We know, with your help, they will come.
You can make a secure donation to the MDA through their web site, www.mda.org.

It started over at Larisa's Inn (well to my knowledge) and I see it has cropped up again over at Black Grimoire with Ideas for Negative Achievements
My favorites so far…
Pink Pigtail Inn
Apprentice dc:er. The 50th time you'll advance to Expert.
Black Grimoire
Guardian of the Cave – You have proven your grasp of tactics by spending 50 AVs defending your home base. The one the other side can't capture. So your really not defending anything. But who cares, you still get honor just like all the people taking towers, killing players, and defeating generals. Alternately can be awarded if the bot helping you pretend to be active kills 1,000 rams or wolves.
Here are a couple that I can think of:
Fatal Attraction: Pull Aggro within 5 seconds 3 (10, 20, 100) times in a row and die.
Cry Wolf: Break a Sheeped target 3 (5, 10, 50, 100) times in a row – look out Dot classes.
Finishing on a more positive note, some Positive Acheivements:
Ice Mystress: Level 1-60, 60-70, or 70-80 using only Frost Damage Spells
Red Hot Poker: Level 1-60, 60-70, or 70-80 using only Fire Damage Spells
Shining Light: Level 1-60, 60-70, or 70-80 using only Fire Damage Spells
Shepard: Maintain a single polymorphed target for 5 (10, 20, 60, 120) minutes without it breaking.
Area of Pain: AoE to death 10, (20, 50, 100) mobs
Gnomer and Out!

Oops, something didn't work.
It does not particularly matter to me since I check all the MSDN sites regularly but shouldn't these videos be posted on Channel 8 as well. It does not get frequent updates and students who are only interested in Channel 8 might miss out on these videos.
Cool video. Waiting for action...
I missed out this year's IC. Hope to be there next year...

A Closer Look at Cuomo's Sandy Stats
In his hunt for billions in federal aid, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has used some strong rhetoric, saying that in many ways Sandy was "more impactful" in New York than hurricanes Katrina and Rita were in Louisiana.
While few would dispute Sandy's devastating power, the damage to gulf states from hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005 was vast: more than 1,800 dead, 1.2 million homes damaged, and $148 billion in estimated damages, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"They're both horrible storms," said David Letson, a hurricane expert and professor of marine affairs and policy at the University of Miami. "I'm not sure I see the point of the comparison. In terms of mortality there's no comparison," he said.
The governor's focus in a news conference Monday was more narrow: He compared New York and Louisiana in three categories, power failures, housing damage and affected businesses.
Storm tallies can be estimates that shift over time and are difficult to compare. And one measure is clear: the 2.19 million New York customers without power dwarfed the 881,000 in the dark during Katrina.
Still, there seems to be some nuance in the other statistics singled out by Mr. Cuomo as he explained the state's request for $42 billion in federal aid.
The governor said that more than 305,000 homes were damaged in Sandy, compared with about 215,000 homes in Louisiana after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Mr. Cuomo's office said the New York number reflects homeowners and renters who have filed insurance claims, with 300,000 of them owners. An administration official said they expect the final count to be closer to 550,000.
Their source for Louisiana was a 2009 U.S. Census report. But that tally counted only "owner-occupied" homes. A former spokeswoman for the Louisiana Recovery Authority said Tuesday the 215,000 figure reflected homes that were "completely destroyed," while the actual number damaged is far greater. In 2006, HUD put the number of damaged homes in Louisiana at 515,249.
Mr. Cuomo pegged the number of "businesses impacted" in New York at 265,300. Officials called that an estimate that could double. The governor compared Sandy's damage to 18,700 businesses he said were "impacted" in Louisiana, based on a 2006 report from the Louisiana Recovery Authority.
The report, however, found that 81,000 businesses were "initially impacted" by the hurricanes. The smaller number, 18,700, were destroyed.
Administration officials said Tuesday that the parallels were meant to evoke the scale of destruction caused by Sandy in New York and weren't intended to be literal comparisons.
"These are conservative estimates that are going up every day, but even the numbers today show clearly that in these respects, the impact of Sandy on New York—especially given its housing, economic and population density—was more damaging than Katrina and Rita on Louisiana, thus justifying our request for supplemental aid from the federal government," Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto said.

I've got a Glagolitic font (Epistula Croatica) with letters mapped to numbers and some ligatures programmed. I don't want to describe the nature of the Glagolitic numeral system here but to present what I'd like to achieve (the font's licence doesn't allow me to modify it). I'm trying to find a solution that will allow me to use custom numerical system in page numbers, the enumerate environment and in text.
What I need is just a different representation of arabic numerals, as in the examples below:
- 1 through 9 — no change
- 11 — 10 1
- 19 — 10 9
- 25 — 20 5
- 347 — 300 40 7
- 901 — 900 1
- 50681 — 50000 600 80 1 etc.
Between the numbers I'd like to have a
I'd really appreciate any answers for the following questions:
- Is it possible to define such a numerical system with way of using as roman, arabic, alph, fnsymbol? I use
LuaLaTeXso the solution can be a Lua code.
- If yes, how to use it in page numbers or the enumerate environment?
- Is it possible to have a text-mode command similar to
Thank you in advance.

I did a search through the site and found some similar questions with some answers that aren't quite what I'm after. What I'm looking for is if there is a recommended way to note that a task is dependent on another task or requires completion of another task before it is started.
A few things I have been thinking of is marking the "prerequisite" task as high priority, or as another thread mentioned, putting the prerequisite task as a next action, while any dependent tasks should not be on next actions. Also, I was thinking about putting all dependent tasks in a project, where the project is the task that is the prerequisite for the group of tasks.
The problem with the ideas I have been brainstorming is that they don't really address the actual issue I'm having. I have a bit of difficulty planning and thinking things through, so I need to be able to have some sort of note in tasks that shows which tasks need to be completed before starting it, because otherwise I'll start the task, then realize that I can't complete it, and my productivity mojo for the day will be shot.
I was thinking of just making a tag for the prerequisite so that tasks can have multiple dependencies, but that kind of goes against the whole idea of tags. It is the best thing I can come up with though. Ideally, it would be nice to have something that works with Doit.im, but I don't really see that happening unless I use tags. I guess I've kind of answered my own question typing the question out, but I'm not entirely satisfied with my own answer. Does anybody have anything else they've used successfully?
To be honest though, this doesn't necessarily have to comply 100% with GTD, I'm more after any solutions that anybody else has used successfully to deal with dependency issues in their productivity workflow, as I don't follow GTD religiously in the first place. I hope this wasn't a super confusing question, and I greatly appreciate any answers.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Close to a dozen countries, including the United States, announced Tuesday they were expelling Syrian diplomats in a coordinated move reflecting the international outrage about a massacre in the town of Houla.
A U.N. official said it's "clear" that Syrian government forces were involved in the massacre, which left more than 100 people dead, nearly half of them children.
A "fairly small number appear to have been killed by shelling, artillery and tank fire which took place over a period of more than 12 hours," said Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the U.N. human rights office.
The majority appear to have died as a result of "summary executions" by "armed men going into houses and killing men, women and children inside," he said.
"What is clear is government forces were involved. They were shelling, using tanks and artillery. And it appears to be Shabiha militia (a government militia group), entering houses and slaughtering people in what is really an abominable crime that took place throughout the day on Friday."
Syria has denied being behind the killings, insisting that "terrorists" carried them out. Syrian officials said the government would investigate. The bloodshed continued Tuesday, when at least 72 people were killed across the country, including nine children and two women, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.
Syria said 21 "army and law enforcement martyrs" were buried.
Children shot, knifed, axed to death in Syria's Houla massacre, reports say
The Netherlands, the United States, Australia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Canada all announced Tuesday that they were expelling some Syrian diplomats. In some cases, it was just the ambassadors; in others, numerous diplomats were expelled.
The U.S. State Department decided to expel the Syrian charge d'affaires, two State Department officials told CNN. Zouheir Jabbour was called to the department Tuesday morning and told he and his family had 72 hours to leave.
He has been the top Syrian envoy in the United States since the ambassador, Imad Moustapha, was called back to Syria in October in a response move after the United States said it was pulling its ambassador out of Syria.
"We hold the Syrian government responsible for this slaughter of innocent lives," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement Tuesday. "This massacre is the most unambiguous indictment to date of the Syrian government's flagrant violations of its U.N. Security Council obligations ... along with the regime's ongoing threat to peace and security."
White House spokesman Jay Carney was even more emphatic.
"This weekend's massacre is a horrifying testament to this regime's depravity. The international community is united in its revulsion at the regime's actions through both its military and its thug forces, and we are ratcheting up the pressure on and isolation of this murderous regime," he said.
Sen. Bob Carr, Australia's minister for foreign affairs, said in a statement, "The Syrian government can expect no further official engagement with Australia until it abides by the U.N. cease-fire and takes active steps to implement the peace plan agreed with Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan."
The Spanish Foreign Ministry said it was declaring the ambassador persona non grata and expelling four other diplomats "for the unacceptable repression carried out by the Syrian regime on its population."
But Annan, envoy for the United Nations and the Arab League, took a markedly different tone after meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. While he said he "conveyed in frank terms the grave concern of the international community about the violence in Syria, including the recent shocking events in Houla," he also said that Syria's vow to organize its own investigations "is very encouraging."
He also said he "expressed appreciation for the cooperation of the Syrian government, which enabled the U.N. to deploy an observer mission to Syria, quickly."
"We are at a tipping point. The Syrian people do not want the future to be one of bloodshed and division. Yet the killings continue and the abuses are still with us today," Annan said, according to a statement released by his office. He said he appealed to al-Assad "for bold steps now -- not tomorrow, now -- to create momentum for the implementation of the plan."
"I also appeal to the armed opposition to cease acts of violence," he added.
Talking to reporters in Damascus, Annan was asked what he thought would happen in Syria if the peace plan was not implemented.
"If the plan is not implemented, I would worry for the future of Syria. I would worry about stability in the country. ... If we do not (implement the plan), may God help us," he said.
"Words are wonderful, but action is better. What is important is demonstrate through action a real commitment to the plan and this is what the international community is asking for now: action, not words," he said.
Al-Assad told Annan that "terrorist groups" have escalated operations, including killings and kidnappings, in recent days, and he stressed the urgency of getting countries that are "financing and harboring terrorist groups" to commit to Annan's plan, Syrian state-run TV reported.
Residents in Houla say Syrian regime forces terrorized the town, a suburb of the anti-government bastion of Homs.
"They crammed us into a room, pulled out their guns and sprayed us like sheep," one woman, apparently wounded, said in a video posted on YouTube.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Archives' started by Bane., Nov 13, 2010.
Colonel_M said I could help him with the In-Game tier list.
ok firebarn
Could i have the Battle Subway Article?
What would people think of an IV checking guide? I reckon it would complement the breeding article well.
I think I'd cover all the methods to get indications of IVs: Characteristic, IV checker man, stats Battle Subway battles, and use of IV calculators. (Any others I've missed?) I'd try and orient it so the quicker stuff, that can at least determine if an IV isn't a certain value, is covered first; essentially based on the idea that a player knows the IVs they want and wants to check if their Pokemon meet it. Finally I'd probably include how to get Rare Candies, since they're useful for IV calculators.
It seems like a good idea. Go for it
Can I make an RNG Guide for Standard RNG? I already started and it's about 1/2
Can I take the guide for the Abyssal Ruins?
I wanted to write a strategy pokedex for ingame use. aragonbird posted one on gamefaqs for hg/ss, and he did a really good job of it. Basically, I'd be writing a moveset guide for every fully evolved Unima pokemon, giving them points for various aspects (obtainability, power, moves). Any help would obviously be appreciated as well.
I wouldn't mind writing the Dream World Guide if Fire Blast doesn't mind.
Sorry, King_N and dragonboy52 reserved it via macle before your post http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3451075 feel free to offer suggestions in there thread if you want to.
So are we doing a battle subway article?
That article is up for reservation.
No and this is the thread for in-game articles.
May I do a guide on 'strategies to beat gym leaders and e4'?
Flavor0 http://www.smogon.com/forums/member.php?u=81404 and I would like to co write a battle subway article.
EDIT: we've decided to reject this, as this doesn't relate really with competitive Pokemon.
Go ahead.
ok i've updated the thread with ideas for new articles for BW2. Writers wanted!
Just a head's up: SuperJOCKE is working on a BW2 In-Game Tiers List in OI. When the details are all hammered out, he'll move it over to C&C.
Since the BW2 In-Game tier list is already taken, can I work on the Legendary Capture Guide?
Also, would a "farming" FAQ be helpful? It could describe ways to rake in shards, BP, and competitive items for those that play legitimately. For instance, I've found hotspots that consistently spit out 18-20 shards in the Find Shards! Lv2 Funfest Mission (while playing alone), while I've cobbled up together a triples team that can rake in 15-18 BP in the PWT Champions Tournament consistently.
I have a question regarding the article "Event Pokemon of 5th Gen". Is it inclusive of all region Events (i.e. Japan events, etc.)? Is it only supposed to mention where to get the event from or can it also include competitive value of the event?
In spite of this, this article sounds appealing to write up, especially for my upcoming Winter break.
You can work on the capture guide.
A farming FAQ would be helpful. I really don't know much about farming since i haven't beaten bw 2 yet but it sounds like a good idea for an article or a letter.
It should be all regions. Here is the one Jimbo did awhile go - http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/event_pokemon , I really like it and would like the new article to be similar.
Hmm, I see. Well, I talked with Nexus over that article and he said he'd most liky disapprove due to the ever changing nature of how Events show. So I'll probably pass for now.
I would like to propose an article. Perhaps a move tutor guide?
talk to me on irc about it.
I can write a complete breeding guide that will help anyone breed outstanding pokemon.
Guess I should post here.
I asked Jellicent about doing a Dream Radar guide via PM and he said he approves. For now I think it'll be an article rather than a letter. I'll try get it done ASAP.

I cooked a couple of times but I was just aiding a colleague that also brought all the ingredients and had the know-how. And I have a poor memory, obviously.
How do you cook yours? What recipe do you use? Details are very much appreciated.
Here are two dessert recipes I like to make while camping:
Peach Cobbler:
Heat up some coals, pour the peaches into a dutch oven, and pour the cake mix evenly over the peaches. Put the top on the dutch oven (including coals on top), bake until it's done: The peach syrup should bubble over into the cake mix over much of it, the rest of the cake mix should be just starting to brown. How long depends a lot on your fire/coals.
If you're hiking and a dutch oven is too much, you can probably get away with putting it in a fairly wide pan on a camp stove.
You can also experiment with other fruits and cake mix flavors; but note that the heavy syrup is important, it keeps the syrup below the cake mix in a place to bubble up properly.
Pound cake
Melt the butter in a dutch oven. Pour in the sugar, mix quickly, flour, mix quickly, eggs, mix quickly and then thoroughly. Put the lid on, bake until it's done.
I imagine this doesn't translate to a camp stove quite as well as the peach cobbler, but if you have a pot that can handle the temperature and you don't mind getting it dirty (and possibly melting, if you misjudged its sturdiness) you can try putting it in a pit surrounded (beyond a bit of a gap) by coals piled up.
Also, this one can obviously be scaled down to smaller portions (e.g. 1/4 lb of each) if you are in a smaller party.
I managed to get the recipe from an experienced hiking friend that I think is closer to what I'm looking for:

I want to create a watchtower that does not provide vision of itself when captured, but rather a completely random unrelated part on the other side of the map. Also, can a map still be a melee map with such a radical change to a watchtower?
In the StarCraft II Galaxy Editor, how can I create a watchtower that provides vision of another area than itself?
This is untested pseudo-code, so it probably won't work right-off-the-bat - (I used to use the BW map editor)

Stocks Close Broadly Higher
NEW YORK—Stocks ended the first week of the new year with a bang, with the S&P 500 notching a five-year high and the Dow securing its biggest weekly gain since December 2011.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 43.85 points, or 0.3%, to 13435.21 after December job growth roughly met economists' estimates and a reading on nonmanufacturing economic activity was surprisingly strong. That capped its biggest weekly point gain—despite a holiday-shortened week—in more than a year, thanks to a 308-point rally on Wednesday.
The S&P 500-stock index rose 7.10 points, or 0.5%, to 1466.47, for the highest close since December 2007. Financial shares led gains across nine of the index's 10 sectors. The technology group lagged behind as Apple AAPL -0.12 % slumped and Microsoft MSFT 0.84 % fell.
The tech-oriented Nasdaq Composite Index rose just 1.09 points, or less than 0.1%, to 3101.66.
"So far so good this year," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at Oakbrook Investments LLC. "The major story of the week was averting of at least the tax side of the 'fiscal cliff,' backed by economic data that, for the most part, has been better than expected. Fingers crossed, the quiet rise will continue, but there is still some potential for choppy water in the months ahead."
Eli Lilly LLY -0.05 % gained after giving a 2013 earnings forecast that topped analysts' estimates, even as the pharmaceutical company struggles with the loss of patent protection on some top drugs.
Avon Products AVP 4.90 % rose after Bank of America-Merrill Lynch analysts raised their rating on the stock to "buy" from "neutral."
The U.S. added 155,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported, just shy of the 160,000 new payrolls forecast by economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey. The department revised its reading on November job growth higher. The unemployment rate was unchanged from November's upwardly revised 7.8%, compared with economists' median projection for 7.7%.
"It's okay, but no reason to break out the champagne," said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, which oversees $364 billion.
The U.S. nonmanufacturing sector unexpectedly expanded in December, according to data released by the Institute for Supply Management. U.S. factory orders were roughly flat in November, reflecting lower oil prices.
European markets gained ground, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.3%. Markit's final December purchasing managers' index reading for the euro zone showed economic output contracted slightly more than a preliminary estimate for the month, but less than in November.
Asian markets ended mostly lower, weighed down after minutes released by the Federal Reserve Thursday showed "several" officials thought the central bank could slow down its program of bond purchased well before the end of 2013. Australia's S&P ASX 200 slipped 0.4% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.3%. However, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average surged 2.8% to the highest level since March 2011 as investors there returned from a long holiday.
The dollar slipped against the euro but rose versus the yen. Front-month February crude-oil futures reversed course late in the day, adding 0.2% to $93.09 a barrel, while January gold futures settled 1.5% lower, at $1,648.10 an ounce. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.915%, the highest in nearly eight months.

I have an image column in a list and I would like to add a browse button in the EditForm.aspx or NewForm.aspx so that user can browse for an image in their local computer. I have set up a picture library to host the images uploaded by users. Currently, the column edit fields only give me the option to put a URL for the image. Is there anyway to add the browse button in
There isn't anyway to do this out of the box. You would need to write a custom column type in Visual Studio with all of the upload and storage functionality.
Or you can get a third-party solution.
Here is one: http://www.artfulbits.com/products/sharepoint/image-upload.aspx And here is another: http://www.sharepointaid.com/Image_Upload_p/557.htm
Haven't used either one myself, so I cannot vouch for either one, but the third-party route is probably your best option.

I have an entity lets call it Response, and another entity called ResponseType, Response entity contains the ResponseType; so when I am building the physical model I confused with how to implement it; I have two option ; 1. I can create a Response table for each of ResponseType. 2. I can create a Global Response table with a ResponseType Column and create a partition for each ResponseType; Note that; Response Entity is same for each of ResponseType. Each ResponseType is equivalent.
What is your idea?

Its 2 for $8 and then you can select additional for $4 each.
@sumduud: I don't know. Both Xmen on bluray for 8 bucks seems legit.
FALSE ADVERTISING! The two movies in the ad (also shown on the website) are not part of the 2 for $8 deal. Walmart sucks.
No store pickup option here.
Walmart has now removed this product.. I know this because while I was in the process of adding items to my cart for this product it says item not found. Go back and retested via this link and it says product not found. >.< Grrr

This question already has an answer here:
Okay so I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but recently Ubuntu has been trying to mount an external hard drive that I usually have plugged in during boot. A message comes up during boot asking me to either wait, or press S to skip if the drive isn't plugged in when I start up my laptop.
My question is, how do I disable this drive from mounting at startup so I don't have to prompt Ubuntu to skip it at boot? I've looked up a couple other solutions to this, but all of them only seem to completely disable automounting, which would require me to manually mount the device when it's plugged in, which is not what I want. I just want to disable it from mounting at startup.

I'm not convinced this is really a better idea than a simple power strip. Power outlets in hotels (as with most anywhere else) are usually close to the floor. Which is not a place I want to be reaching down every morning and night to plug/unplug my phone. Nor worry about that it or other gadgets were forgotten when leaving.
A basic power strip costs about the same, usually has a long enough cord to set it on the desk where one can neatly lay out their phone, tablet, laptop, camera, etc. Some come with USB ports, or you could buy a compact dual-USB adapter which would just as easily reduce the real estate gobbled by wall warts.
+$3.99 shipping. Tiger direct has this for $4.97 + $3.77 shipping: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3171643
I have one of these. It's a little bulky but works. You can do better price-wise, but it's a solid product.
I assume its a standard USB port on the side? Their awful photoshop job in the photo makes it hard to tell.
I really hope it says "Smartphone not included" on the product itself. That would make this worth purchasing.
@acraigl: Does this unit have a cord to plug it into the wall socket, or does it have prongs on the back to plug it directly into the wall? The product description and photos do not make this clear, but I suspect it has prongs on the back.
@johnt007871: 2 standard USB 'A' ports (I think that's how it's referred... the normal type :)
@nortonsark: It has a standard 3-prong grounded plug in the back. Right into the wall.
This is intended to create a shelf of sorts, and actually has a insert to allow for a bigger/smaller resting groove for your device. I assume the larger option is for tablets, but I don't see how it would allow for that much weight on the outlet :-0
@thedogma: Sorry to disappoint -- my version is disclaimer-free. Nothing a sharpee can't fix, tho.
@hervipr: Sold Out on Tiger
