So do those after shock tremors happen in all game modes or just that Scavenger one?
Still keeping an eye out for a $10-15 copy.
So do those after shock tremors happen in all game modes or just that Scavenger one?
Still keeping an eye out for a $10-15 copy.
Key? Like a PC key? PC's not an option for me right now. Wish it was but all I have is this little netbook that flips out if I have more than 3 tabs open.
Anyway, just got used copy off Ebay. $18 (+ $4 shipping). Talked him down from $22. Tried $15 but he wasn't having that.
Gonna try and Prestige in Black Ops II before it gets here.
So, any PS3 players around here who play Battlefield 3?
Good to know.
Thinking about maybe selling the vanilla copy I just ordered when it gets here and just getting the Premium Edition. Seems silly paying $20 for a used copy plus $15 for one map pack when I could just pay $40 for a new copy and all the map packs, even if I end up never playing a couple of them like Armored Kill.
Could really kick myself for not picking up the Premium Ed. during Black Friday.
Just hit the PS3 FNF page, people always play. I haven't in a while because of reasons.
I'm hosting the PS3 BF3 for Friday at 10pm, we'd love more Toidlets to join Just send me a friend invite before then (or at 10, I don't care) and I'll invite you when 10pm hits. I don't own any of the DLC except for Armored Kill, so you won't have to worry about joining a game that you don't have the DLC for. We can just play vanilla BF3, no one cares enough to complain
Oh, and just in case no one else says this, Aftermath is fucking amazing. Seriously, go get it.
It's actually a shame it's the only map that does it. I wish it was more severe at times.
I'm starting to realize that a lot of these themed packs are DICE's testing grounds for ideas they are
putting into BF4. With the major idea being map interactivity. The already large craziness that
is initiated by players---to be bolstered by random map happenings, in FB2/2.5 would be amazing.
The other night I was playing Scavenger and thought "Man, having to run around looking for weapons is fun. Why don't more games do this?" Then facepalmed so hard I about broke my nose.
Game is still fun enough. Not as fun as other shooters I own but alright. The presentation still bores me to tears. The game is practically monochromatic. Can't see myself picking up another Battlefield game unless they did another 21XX installment with mechs and space ships 'n' stuff like that.
For every thing it does right it does three things wrong. I find it hard to play more than one match at a time. Almost embarrassed to say it but I might end up selling off the game. Again.
This is something I do a lot I'm afraid to admit. I've gone through this same cycle with Crysis 2 about four times now.

Kinda tempted to jump on te premium edition and buying this again. Because dirt bikes.
I know he's trolling, but Pres is really bad at BF3... like stupid bad. How heavy is the aim assist in CoD that he is aiming this fucking poorly. I mean is that part of his shtick? I hope it is. Jesus.
I made it 39 seconds.

BRYAN (February 8, 2013)—The punishment phase got underway Friday in the capital murder trial of a Central Texas man convicted of killing the mother of his ex-girlfriend in an attack a few weeks after the couple broke up.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Stanley Wayne Robertson of College Station, who had a history of abusing his girlfriend.
Robertson was convicted Thursday of capital murder in the August 2010 stabbing death of Annie Mae Toliver, 59, who was was abducted from College Station and later killed.
Robertson was arrested after his vehicle hit a Fort Worth police car as he attempted to elude officers.
Toliver's body was found in a Fort Worth parking lot.
Police said Robertson was charged earlier with assaulting his ex-girlfriend Tammy Toliver and he called her after the slaying to say it was her fault that he killed her mother.

The 5 Greatest Books With Psychotic Fanbases
Books can change the world. That's not a controversial statement: From the Holy Bible to Reading Rainbow, just about everybody acknowledges the importance and influence of the written word. Even psychopaths.
Especially psychopaths.
#5. The Lord of the Rings - Neo-Nazis
The Classic Book
Lord of the Rings basically defined the fantasy genre. Its staples--elves and dwarves, dragons and orcs--are still the groundwork of most fantasy fiction today. It was a tale of brotherhood versus greed, good versus evil and like eight different kinds of midget versus the grim reaper. It was awesome, is what we're saying here.
The Offenders
Wait... seriously?
For example, take this discussion on the white pride forum Stormfront featuring musings on which Middle Earth species represent each race.
But it's not an isolated Internet shenanigan: Italian fascists also viewed the book similarly, going as far as naming their fascist training facilities "hobbit camps." A whopping three-thousand kids attended, because it sounds way more fun when you phrase it as "romping about the shire with friends" as opposed to "learning how to combat the economic stranglehold of the Jews on modern Europe."
And that wasn't even relegated to antiquity: The modern equivalent of those same factions have also screened the first film. So it's not like you're missing something subtle they're interpreting in those dense tomes; they totally think the story as presented by the movies is pro-Nazi.
Why the Bullshit Interpretation is Exactly That
Lord of the Rings is a work that shows multiple races setting aside their mistrust and hatred of each other, and working together for a peaceful world. It would be much easier to analyze the novel as a veiled condemnation of Nazism and racism than twisting it to be pro-fascist. The only hidden meaning to Lord of the Rings as confirmed by the author is the horror of rapid industrial expansion at the expense of nature. Which pretty much opposes the policies of the Nazi party completely. Whatever else they were, they were not "green."
More of a shit brown, really.
#4. Catcher in the Rye - Various Murderers
The Classic Book
It's doubtful that, by telling the story of a whiny 17-year-old reminiscing on things that happened to him when he was a whiny 16-year-old, J.D. Salinger intended to give sweaty man-birth to a new gospel. It was just a story, and a rather simple one at that: It's a few days in the unremarkable life of Holden Caulfield, a teenager who pretty much hates everything (like every teenager) except children (like those creepy camp counselors).
Camp counselors ruin everything.
The Offenders
Apparently Holden's self-centered whining makes people want to kill celebrities. And not in a small scale, "fuck those guys" kind of way. No, in a "call the national guard, everybody is dead oh god they're all dead" kind of way.
Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon five times outside the Dakota apartment building in New York, claiming Catcher in the Rye was his inspiration. After committing the crime, Chapman even pulled out the book and started reading while still steps away from the murder scene. He signed, "This is my statement, Holden Caulfield" on the inside cover. So he either the chubby adult murderer thought he was Holden, or he thought Holden was real and could absorb all knowledge imprinted upon his book. When both options for your mental state are that crazy, it doesn't even matter which one was the case; doctors just diagnose you with "clinical craziness."
Robert John Bardo stalked a lengthy list of actresses before murdering Rebecca Schaeffer in 1989, also while carrying a copy of the book. A copy was also found in the possession of John Hinckley, Jr., the attempted assassin of Ronald Reagan. And those are just the celebrities; you know, the important people. The novel has been linked to a number of lower-profile murders over the years since its release.
Why the Bullshit Interpretation is Exactly That
It's been speculated that Chapman killed John Lennon in order to preserve his innocence--which is odd considering Lennon was like 40 years old at the time. Not exactly an age of wide-eyed wonder, 40. If you see a 40 year-old man riding a big wheel and asking why the sky is blue, you don't shoot him to preserve innocence, you ask around to find his caretaker and make sure his helmet is on tight.
But even if Lennon was about to enter puberty at the age of 41, the book doesn't support that action: Holden, while initially wanting to protect children, realizes that he's no role model, and they're all better off left alone anyway. Sure, some of 'em will fall off that cliff, but how else are kids gonna learn not to play in rye?
#3. Horton Hears a Who - Rabid Pro-Lifers
The Classic Book
Horton Hears a Who is the story of a flamboyant elephant who discovers a tiny planet on a speck of dust, and all the other animals--perhaps with good cause--think Horton is a mental case for believing the planet exists. Less reasonably, they quickly put him in a cage and torture and mock him relentlessly rather than just write him a prescription for Elephant Xanax. Ultimately, the inhabitants of the speck of dust make enough noise for the sadistic captor animals to hear them, thus ending the debate on their existence and freeing Horton.
Seriously though, look into medication if this happens to you.
The Offenders
Fanatically religious pro-lifers. Apparently, the story--geared towards ages four to six--is meant to be a complex, prophetic metaphor which condemns the right of a woman to choose to get de-babied. Christian website The Elijah List, which boasts 127,000 members, ran a piece which not only drew parallels between Seuss's book and the abortion debate, but heralded it as a banner for their movement to rally around. In their words:
"Horton...is the prophetic Church with big ears and a large trumpet. He can hear what no one else can hear -- the sound of these little people. In the book, we also find a kangaroo who wants to kill all the little Whos, because he cannot see or hear them. He doesn't believe they exist. Immediately the thought came to me, "The kangaroo is the kangaroo court!" -- it stands for the Supreme Court who issued the death decree of '73 in Roe v Wade, and legalized abortion."
Or it's about an elephant.
So it's not even as if they're using the book as an example to support their argument, they're actually treating it as the word of God. This isn't some long-dead movement either, as eagle-eyed readers will have noticed when we said they had a website: They're still going to this day. Pro-lifers even stormed the premiere of the film version of Horton, parading around the theater chanting religious jargon, which tragically distracted from the valid attendees there to mourn the death of Jim Carrey's career.
Remember how we mocked the church earlier for taking a harmless kid's story as allegory for complicated political rallies? Yeah, our bad: Turns out he was totally doing that. It just wasn't about abortion at all. Seuss intended Horton Hears a Who to serve as an allegory for the American post-war occupation of Japan, not the issue of abortion, which--considering it was written in 1954, 20 years before Roe V. Wade--should have been obvious to everybody that doesn't believe Dr. Seuss can see through time. Even Seuss himself felt compelled to set the record straight, stating that "Horton is not a book about abortions. These notions are distortions; they're heaping portions of deciduous contortions piled high with a side of whamdiddly dodortions."

How do I prove that the diophantine equation $x^4-4y^4=z^2$ has no solution in positive integers $x$, $y$, $z$.
$$x^4-4y^4=z^2\iff\left(2y^2\right)^2+z^2=\left(x^2\right)^2.$$ Therefore if a primitive solution exists then $2y^2=2nm, \ z=m^2-n^2, \ x^2=m^2+n^2.$
From $2y^2=2nm\Rightarrow n=k^2,m=\ell^2$.
Let show that the equation in question is equivalent to another one:$x^4+y^4=z^2$, called as $\Gamma$-equation.
I. Here have I proved that there is no pythagorean triple $(a,b,c)$ with both $a$ and $b$ squares, nor both $a$ and $c$ squares. If $(\Gamma)$ has a solution $(x,y,z)$ then $(x^2,y^2,z)$ is a pythagorean triple contradiction what is just said. So there is no solution at all.
II. Here is a proof contained in Diophantine Equation by Mordell.

I had the same issues after upgrade
My project had the same problem. I found that some views userClassName config had gone out of sync with the name of the view in the application config view.
I overcame the issue by removing the view from the list in the application config and then adding it back in. I also noted that the view in this list under application had lost it's icon on the left.

A few bugs I noticed on upgrade...
After upgrading to Architect 2.2 from 2.1 I noticed:
- reset all scrollable configs to true, where they had been scroll-locking objects...
- added single quotes around a custom animation (scalefade) in the showAnimation config settings on views (image attached). Took a while to spot this one.
Two very minor things... love 2.2. Thanks!

Every great team has a leader behind it. Jake Westerfield organized the Horse Ride For Cancer. He says, "We're starting our trail ride for cancer today. Going to Cheyenne, Wyoming."
Jake Westerfield is the man behind the mission. Westerfield, "We're doing it for cancer research because my wife passed away last February. And everyone is touched by cancer."
Everyone riding has lost someone they know to cancer. Jake has had some help along the way, especially from Jody Chinn. Jody knew Jake's wife and was excited to help plan the trip.
Jody Chinn says, "We sat down at a roundtable in his kitchen and 5 guys put a bunch of ideas. And here it is!"
Last summer Jake and another friend who lost his wife to the disease took at trip across the state to prepare for their horseback journey.
Chinn says, "They picked side roads most of the time along the way out there. When they get to Kansas they have a lot of free space."
Westerfield says, "We allowed ourselves four months and we'll get there the last week in July. For the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo."
The group will be picking up other riders along the way and they have towns on their path waiting for their arrival.
Chinn says, "People are planning things for them to do. Like this weekend in Clay, Kentucky is having a big barbeque. So people are joining just for the day."
But Jake isn't doing the ride just for fun. Westerfield says, "I had a friend have his wife pass away last week and it just goes to prove everyone is touched by cancer."
Now if you would like to make a donation, you can do so to the American Cancer Society or by going to the website, www.horserideforcancer.org

ZANESVILLE - The West Holmes girls basketball team proved quickly why it is one of the best Division II squads in the state.
The Knights' defense smothered Indian Creek from the tip and they rode that defensive intensity to a 67-42 victory Thursday evening at Zanesville High School in the Division II district semifinal.
"The hope was to make the entry pass difficult for them," said West Holmes coach Lisa Patterson. "Everything should have been difficult for them, whether it was bringing the ball up the court or making the entry pass. If you can do that, it wears on them as time goes along."
Article Photos
SEASON OVER — Indian Creek freshman Bethany Davis receives a screen from junior Kristen Shimko and prepares to throw a bounce pass during the second quarter of Thursday's 67-42 loss to No. 3-state ranked West Holmes in the Division II district semifinal at Zanesville High School. The Redskins finished the season at 18-7 after winning five games last season.
-- Mike Mathison
West Holmes led 18-7 after one, 35-19 at half and 53-32 after three.
"We just want to play solid the whole 32 minutes," said Patterson. "We don't want to have peaks and valleys.
"Our offensive output was solid all night. We've had some slow starts in the tournament, so that was a focus of ours."
That focus worked as the Knights came out and made everything difficult for the Redskins.
"They were relentless," said Indian Creel coach Erin DeSantis. "They are a really good, veteran basketball team and they made a lot of things hard for us tonight. Morgantown and Wheeling Central played tough defense on us, but not like tonight. They kept coming and coming. We had no breathing room. We didn't have one second to catch our breaths.
"They're quick. And, it's not like just one or two of them are quick. They are all quick. They ran the floor well. They are just a really good basketball team and they aren't where they are for no reason.
"And, nothing changed when they went to their bench. They became a shorter team, but they still played relentless defense and ran the floor. Their quickness didn't change.
"It's hard to simulate that quickness in practice."
It was an intriguing matchup from the start as Indian Creek's Bre Berryman and West Holmes' Laina Snyder, who were named Eastern District co-Players of the Year on Thursday, were on the same court.
"We've had a lot of time to practice for this game, so the game plan was to have two around her every time the ball went into her," Patterson said of Berryman.
"Sometimes, there might have been more."
Patterson had boys basketball players come in during practice to simulate Berryman's 6-foot-5 frame.
Berryman and Snyder played well. Snyder finished with 20 points and Berryman 17.
"She (Snyder) is a really good player," said DeSantis.
"We told the girls that there is no shame in losing tonight. We told the girls that we can't let this one game determine what we have done this season. We've come a long way.
"We needed our team to have this experience. There is nothing like experience. We have experienced what it takes to get here and now we commit ourselves to get back here and go even further next year."
Indian Creek is in a nice situation as everyone will return next season.
"Our girls have to understand that this is a process and this is one big step in that process," said DeSantis. "Did I think we would be here at the beginning of the season? Probably not.
"But, I am ecstatic that we got here. The girls proved they are a good team and hopefully they understand they can go further next year. They now understand how to play with each other.
"We're happy that we made it here, but we can't be satisfied."
Freshman Bethany Davis added nine points for Indian Creek, which finished 18-7, giving the program 12 more wins than a year ago.

There wasn't much mystery about the outcome of the match Tuesday when Pratt Community College traveled to Hutchinson. The Blue Dragons had taken 3 of 4 sets from the Beavers when the squads met at PCC earlier this season.
This time, the outcome was even more one-sided as Hutch dispatched the Lady Beavers rather easily in straight sets. Scores from the match were 25-15; 25-13; 25-13.
HCC controlled the net all night, and the PCC hitters had trouble getting through the Dragon blocks. The Lady Beavers were not able to put many points up on clean spikes all evening. Early on, the Beavers managed some tip shots, but then Hutch tightened up their floor coverage and even that scoring method was denied Pratt.
HCC's big hitters took over the match in sets 2 & 3. Hutch (20-9, 12-2) service miscues allowed PCC a point or two here and there or the score could have been really ugly.
Pratt falls to 6-21 (2-11) with the loss. They will wind up the regular season by hosting Seward County Thursday at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena, first serve scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

fluctuation of the page rank that is called Google dance. In that sometimes PR is low and sometimes PR is high.
After Reading all discussion we know about google dance but i do'nt know what effect in SEO ??
please help me .
Thanks in Advance

Thanks in Advance
The Google dance is a term used by Webmasters to describe the movement of your website in the SERPs for a particular keyword. It refers to your site going up and rankings and then down and then up again. It is usually a positive indication that your backlinks are being counted. When the "dance" ends you r site is usually higher up in the search rankings than it was before the "dance" started.
It is the changes of your ranking in search engine, Google Dance sometimes frustrating .
I had experianced it my self while I tried to know my ranking,
sometimes I'm on Page 4 and then after a day it jump to 9 and after sometime it come back to its real.
I think it is a bug in google.

At the time of google dance search engine result fluctuate because google update crawler and details about website.

However, the update does not proceed as an index switch to another at a point in time. In fact, it takes several days to complete the update of the index. During this period, the old and the new index alternate on. In a first stage, the results of the new index occur sporadically. But later, appear more frequently. Google dances.
Expertise in Google
The Google search engine pulls its results from more than 10. 000 servers that are simple Linux PCs are used by Google for reasons of cost. Naturally, an index update can not be processed on all servers at the same time. A server after the other has to be updated with the new index.
Many webmasters believe that during the Google Dance, Google is somehow able to control whether a new index server or a server with an old index responds to a search query. But, since Google's index is inverse, this would be very complicated. As discussed below, no such control in the system. In fact, the reason for the Google Dance is Google's way of using the Domain Name System (DNS).
Google Dance and DNS
Not only does Google index spans more than 10,000 servers, but these servers are, for now, placed in eight different data centers. These data centers are mainly in the U.S. (Ie, Santa Clara, California and Herndon, Virginia), in fact, in early June 2002 Google European data center in Zurich, Switzerland went online. It is very likely that more data centers to come, which may be spread across the world. However, in January and April 2003, Google has made two data centers in the stream is back in the U.S..
In order to drive traffic to all these data centers, Google thoeretically could record all queries centrally and then send the data centers. But this would obviously be ineffective. In fact, each data center has its own IP address (numerical address on the Internet) and how these IP addresses accessed is managed by the Domain Name System.
Basically, the DNS works like this: On the Internet, data transfers always take place in between the IP addresses. The information about which domain resolves to the IP address is provided by DNS name servers. When a user enters a domain in your browser, a name server configured at the local level it takes the IP address of that domain by contacting the name server that is responsible for that domain. (The DNS is structured hierarchically. That illustrates the process would go beyond the scope of this article.) IP address is cached in the server names, so you do not need to contact the responsible name server each Once you create a connection to a domain.
Changes in Google's Algorithm to rank pages well is commonly termed as Google Dance
Google Dance is an out-dated slang term used for the time period when Google sends its spiders (a program) to crawl a website to check for its content, it is said to be happening once in a month, nobody has got any better idea about when Google is indexing the web pages.

In Star Wars the Old Republic, can a lightsaber-wielding Sith use a saber with a colour other than red or yellow?
The color of your lightsaber is dependent on your color crystal, and you should be able to get any color you desire, no matter if you're Sith or Jedi (or Dark or Light, the below is no longer correct).
See this question for more information on lightsaber colors: What colors of lightsaber are there (and where can I get them)?
The colour of your lightsaber is determined by the modifications done to the weapon at an upgrade station.
You can add or remove the colour crystal to your lightsaber, but you should keep in mind that different colour crystals provide different upgrades. Although the majority of the time you can find the same upgrade with a different colour setup.
Colour crystals are created by the Artifice crew skill.
I'm pretty sure they can use any color they want. The color crystals and lightsabers don't have any such limitations listed on them..
Currently there are no limitations on what faction or force alignment can use color crystals. Some weapons are limited to a particular alignment, but you can easily put any crystal into a weapon you can use.
Previously, Purple and Black-Blue crystals were only available in Republic weapons whereas Cyan and Black-Red crystals were only available in Empire weapons. They could be transferred between characters in Legacy weapons however, so opposite-faction alts could obtain them. However, in Game Update 2.0 these crystals now drop from the Scum and Villainy operation (Darvannis) and can be reverse engineered by Artificers for a chance at a schematic, so it is no longer required to have an opposite faction alt to obtain one of these.
All of this is verified by personal experience, but for a good guide to all the end-game color crystals see this article on dulfy.net.
As for the list of all the colors possible, see What colors of lightsaber are there (and where can I get them)? Blem's list is out of date / incorrect.
This answer was correct at the time of its posting, but changes made by BioWare have invalidated it. It remains for historical purposes.
It's not whether you're a Jedi or Sith, it's whether you've embraced a Light Side or Dark Side philosophy (IE, earned more than 1000 or so net Light Side or Dark Side points, enough to move you past 'Neutral')
The above applies not only to lightsabers but to all weapons that take color crystals.

I see this number labeled "Bonus Pool" when I look at my standing in various ladders.
What is it?
I see this number labeled "Bonus Pool" when I look at my standing in various ladders.
What is it?
To extend Raven's answer this sc2 faq has a good description:
The bonus pool encourages players to keep playing ranked games and improve their ranking. It makes the matchmaking non zero-sum, which in turn means its not a viable strategy to get to 1st on the ladder, and then sit there for 3 months while no one can approach your zenith.
In actual terms of mechanics, it is a bonus value added to your rank when you win. Extra earned rating will match, point for point, any rating you accrue from winning games, until the pool is empty.
It fills over time whether you are playing or not.
From a game design perspective, bonus pool replaces Warcraft III's ranking decay. It's effectively the same, since people who play actively will outrank those who don't. But it means any points you do earn while playing will not be lost due to inactivity. It just replaces a negative system with a positive one.
One other example for clarity: WoW's bonus XP if you haven't played in a while. Originally it was implemented that you would get less XP if you played too much. They replaced a minus with a plus.

Alexia C. Bishop, 16, Norris City, was cited for operating an uninsured motor vehicle following a two-vehicle crash in Norris City around 3:23 p.m. Monday.
A White County Sheriff's Office accident report said Bishop attempted to cross South Division Street westbound on Second Street in a 1992 Mitsubishi, failing to yield the right-of-way to a southbound 1998 Honda driven by William T. Scroggins, 16, Norris City.
The collision resulted in damage of more than $1,500.

My choice of UPS is this -- CyberPower CP900EPFCLCD or APC Smart-UPS 750VA (SMT750I). I intend to connect UPS with USB for data transfer, not Ethernet.
According to UPS HowTo http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/UPS-HOWTO/, the first one is adviced to run with NUT, and the second with Apcupsd.
Are those package equally good? Another issue -- support. When I run into problems, and I would look for some help, with which package (and community related to it) I will solve my problems faster?
In short, which package you think will cause less problems with configuring and using (with UPS)? I am asking this, because those UPSs looks almost the same for me (*), the only thing I don't know now is how good are they when working with Linux.
If you are a user of one of those UPS+packages, please simply answer with your experience "I had no problems at all" or "I had to install Windows to make it work properly". You don't have to know both of them to answer.
(*) The first one is cheaper (price for device, and less energy consumed), the other provides longer power support. For me it is a draw at this point.

Kentucky's Supreme Court is urging you to vote "yes" on a new constitutional amendment. The amendment would allow for the formal establishment of Family Courts statewide.
Currently 22 Kentucky counties, including Warren, already have Family Court pilot programs. However, more than 2.5 million citizens do not have access to the new court system.
Kentucky's Supreme Court Chief Justice, Joseph Lambert, calls the new system the most important improvement in a quarter of a century. Lamberts says the new system gives children and families the highest priority, by moving them ahead of murder cases and automobile accidents.
Voters will make the ultimate decision on this November's general election ballets.

The determinant behaves multiplicatively with respect to the usual matrix product $$ \det(AB) = \det(A)\det(B), $$ and also with respect to the Kronecker (or tensor) product of square matrices $$ \det(A\otimes B) = \det(A)^q \det(B)^p, $$ when $A$ and $B$ are $p\times p$ and $q \times q$ matrices, respectively.
Are there other natural types of matrix products under which the determinant behaves multiplicatively? To be completely precise, the property I need is that the determinant of the product is $0$ if and only if the determinant of at least one of its factors is $0$.

According to Wikipedia, the Japanese title of the film "Violent Cop", "その男、凶暴につき" ("Sono otoko, kyōbō ni tsuki"), literally means "That man, being violent". Is this correct? What other translations could there be for "ni tsuki"?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Is this correct? >> Yes I think it is. It means "その男は凶暴なので"/"その男は凶暴だから".
The particle は is left out. につき(に就き) means なので/だから, "because~", "since~". につき sounds more literary than なので. (The に is a particle.) So it's like "Because the man is violent (you got to stay away from him etc..)"

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia Air Force base is awarding a $3.7 billion contract to the Boeing Company to handle upgrades of dozens of fighter jets owned by Saudi Arabia.
Officials at Robins Air Force Base say the contract is part of a $29 billion deal in which the U.S. is selling 84 new F-15 fighters to the Saudi air force while it upgrades dozens of older planes.
The contract calls for Boeing to develop conversion kits to upgrade 70 of the Saudi jets, test and evaluate the finished work and familiarize pilots with the changes.
The middle Georgia base was assigned to oversee the upgrades and maintenance of the Saudi fighter jets after the White House announced the deal in December.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Former Georgia football coach Jim Donnan has agreed to a proposed bankruptcy settlement with a West Virginia company and investors who say the coach owes them $40 million lost in a failed Ponzi scheme.
Court records show a federal bankruptcy judge in Ohio approved the settlement Wednesday. Donnan filed for bankruptcy protection last July in Georgia. A judge there must also approve it. A hearing is scheduled July 19.
Retail liquidation company GLC Limited says payouts to investors in a Ponzi scheme drove it into bankruptcy. Donnan was an early investor in GLC and recruited others to invest, but he denies being part of a scheme.
The settlement calls for Donnan to pay more than $7 million to GLC, plus 80 percent of claims by investors he recruited.
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia man says he stopped an attack on a young woman near downtown Athens when he jumped from his truck brandishing a pistol.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports 61-year-old Dennis Terry was heading to the post office when he saw a man and woman struggling over a bag. He intervened when he saw the man punch the woman and knock her to the ground.
Terry says he grabbed his pistol and ran toward the attacker, who fled on foot. More than five hours later Thursday, police arrested 57-year-old Samuel Tyrone Evans on charges including battery and possession of a gun by a convicted felon. It was unknown Saturday if Evans had an attorney.
Police say the woman was treated for scrapes and bruises.

Travis is a dear, patient man who is so generous and so in love it almost hurts to watch him trying so hard to win the hurt-hardened heart of Shay. I so often wanted to grab Shay and Travis and give them a good shake and then sit them down and force them to TALK to one another. So much heartache over misunderstandings and lack of communication.
But eventually, love wins out and the ending is worth the agony of watching them hurt each other so much along the way. I loved the character of Miss Lucy, who may be old and scatty, but is also full of wisdom and prayer. We would all benefit from having a Miss Lucy in our lives.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable book.

Book Summary: When a wedding reenactment turns real, this cowgirl suddenly finds she's an accidental bride. Shay Brandenberger is raising her daughter in Moose Creek, Montana on her childhood ranch, nestled against the Yellowstone River. Despite her hard work, she can't seem to keep her head above water—and now the bank is threatening to foreclose. She prays for a miracle, but the answer she receives is anything but.

Or could their marriage be the best accident that ever happened?
Review: I liked the 2 main characters and thought they had good chemistry. I did think there were almost too many secondary characters at the start of the book and this made it a little more confusing at times to recall who was who. It did get easier to follow as the book continued. I enjoyed the main characters. Shay was tough and did a lot of manual labor and yet was still feminine. Travis was very masculine and yet very sensitive to Shay. It was believable and yet very enjoyable to see how things were going to be resolved. The marriage license that was old and yet still valid seemed unlikely, although it was easy to suspend belief when the story flowed so nicely and the main characters were enjoyable. It was worth the read and the fact that it was a in a series was not a deterrent it was a good stand alone story.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

Shay Brandebgerger agrees to stand in as the bride in a re-enactment of Moose Creek's early history. She doesn't know elderly Miss Lucy has set up Travis McCoy, (who abandoned Shay at the altar fourteen years earlier), to be the re-enactment's groom. And supposedly the pastor accidentally sends a real wedding license to be registered for Shay and Troy. Or was Miss Lucy behind that, also?
Troy discovers he and Shay are really married and asks for five months to prove his love to her. She's been hurt so often and so deeply she often assumes wrong data so doesn't trust Troy nor ask him about suspicious incidents.
Will their love for each other ever win out? Will Shay lose her ranch and livelihood? What will happen to Shay's daughter, Olivia when Troy leaves? How will the author resolve seeming impossible situations?
The story has sweet moments and tense times, all adding to the allure of this well-written tale.
ValerieBC, CanadaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great Premise!March 22, 2012ValerieBC, CanadaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5When high school sweethearts eloped, Travis McCoy left Shay Brandenberger on the courthouse steps in her wedding dress while he went to buy some rings at Kmart. Except he didn't come back. Instead, he made his way to the pro rodeo circuit in Texas.
14 years later, Shay is the widowed mother of a 12-year-old daughter, Olivia. She lives on the Montana ranch her family has had for generations, but she's about to lose it due to financial hardship. Meanwhile, she agrees to play the bride in Moose Creek's Founders' Day wedding reenactment and is beyond shocked when the enactment groom is none other than Travis McCoy. If she could slap him and turn heel, she would, but she's enough of the talk of the town. Everyone remembers her return by bus in her wedding dress years back.
How could this become a legal marriage between Shay and Travis? I'll leave you to read the book to find out. Travis has done well in rodeo, but he's never forgotten Shay or forgiven himself for what he did to her. He'd have returned years ago except he heard she was married. Now, though, the rules have changed and he sets out to win back his accidental bride. . .before she can have the marriage annulled!
The premise of The Accidental Bride was the primary reason I downloaded this book. I'd never read anything by this author before, or really heard anything about her. I'm so glad I did. Shay is a major spitfire, but realistically, who wouldn't be stinkin' mad if this happened to them? I also loved seeing Travis's regrets and his patience in winning Shay back. This book is highly recommended.
I received an e-copy of this novel for review from NetGalley. Opinions, as always, are mine alone.

I have the Time Series package and Mathematica 8. In the package, there is the function 'StationaryQ' to test the stationarity of a known model. Is there any function in Mathematica to test the stationarity of a given list of data?
The three best-known tests for stationarity (or rather, unit roots) in time series econometrics are:
There are also Bayesian tests of unit roots, as implemented in this conference presentation. If you have access to JSTOR or another way of getting at old journals, this article might be of interest.
As far as I'm aware, nobody has created a pre-digested package for unit root testing in Mathematica. The notebook I wrote - about a decade ago - only includes the KPSS test, and I can give no warranties about whether I did it right. It was written for version 3 and would need considerable updating to work with version 8, as it has dependencies on several packages that have been made obsolete when the functionality was rolled into the main kernel.
The Dickey-Fuller and the Phillips-Perron tests are now available using

(CBS News) KABUL - A major terrorist plot targeting Afghan soldiers was uncovered Monday at the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Kabul, an official at the Ministry has confirmed to CBS News.
The official, who asked not to be identified because the Afghan government yet to acknowledge the plot, revealed that 11 suicide vests were found in three rooms in the area surrounding a parking lot at the Ministry.
The investigation is still in its early stages but it is known that 11 buses were scheduled to leave the parking lot carrying Afghan army personnel. The working theory among investigators so far is that a bomber was meant to get on each of those buses and stage a spectacular simultaneous attack.
Six Afghan soldiers were immediately arrested on the scene and it is believed they were ready to proceed with a suicide attack.
The BBC reports Tuesday that 12 additional arrests have been made.
The Afghan government has so far refused to confirm the plot, but CBS News has learned that Afghanistan's defense minister has been called to the presidential palace to give a full briefing on the details of the investigation. The palace itself is less than a mile away from where the vests were found.
However, Afghan officials later said the intelligence report was false, The Associated Press reported.
The plot was uncovered in Kabul on a day when three NATO soldiers were killed by members of the Afghan security forces - incidents the U.S. military has labeled "Green on Blue" attacks.
The attacks - and the discovery of the suicide vests - highlight an ongoing problem of Taliban infiltration of the Afghan security forces, along with a series of incidents where personal conflicts have escalated to violence.
In February, a U.S. Army Colonel and a Major were killed inside the Ministry of the Interior by a gunman believed to have been an Afghan policeman who escaped and remains at large.

- In my Ubuntu 12.04, in keyboard settings, I didn't find a shortcut
key for restarting X, so in "Customer Shorcut", I set up
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace for command
sudo restart lightdm. But after that the shortcut doesn't work. Is it because it requires root privilege?
- Also I have a SysRq key on my keyboard, which I think to be the "Magic SysReq Key". My SysRq key is shared with PrtSc key (for screen shoot), and is in blue which means I have to press Fn key at the same time to invoke SysRq instead of PrtSC. But every time I press Fn+SysRq, it always shoots a photo of the screen, same as just hitting PrtSc i.e. without hitting Fn. I wonder how to use the Magic SysReq Key? Does it mean the shortcut has not been linked to any command that is supposed for Magic SysReq Key yet?
PS: My laptop is Lenovo T400 and OS is Ubuntu 12.04.

Universities on the Charm Offensive
Massachusetts Institute of Technology students will return from their holiday break to experience something different from their usual studies—but almost as important. It's the university's annual Charm School, offering instruction in everything from how to make a first impression to how to dress for work to which bread plate to use.
Other universities have also started teaching students how to make small talk, deal with conflict, show up on time, follow business etiquette and communicate with co-workers. These programs may be fun, or even funny, but there's a serious side to them: to give students the kinds of social skills they need to get and keep jobs.
"Everybody here is smart," says Alana Hamlett, who co-directs MIT's Charm School, which is optional and began about 20 years ago. But in a tough job market, she says: "This is one additional tool that will give you an edge. The key to being a step ahead is having those interpersonal skills and being able to work a room."
These are skills that employers complain graduates increasingly are arriving without, skills that many don't learn at home anymore and that take a back seat in an era of omnipresent electronic communications.
"This is a generation with an average of 241 social media friends but they have trouble communicating in person," says Arthur Levine, president of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation who's studied the current crop of students.
Employers increasingly think so, too. More than a third of managers think their youngest hires act less professionally than their predecessors, according to a national survey by the Centre for Professional Excellence at York College in Pennsylvania.
"A good resume and a degree only gets you to the table," says Matthew Randall, the center's executive director. "Professional behaviors are what get you a job. And what colleges are trying to do is help these students develop the behaviors that employers want."
York teaches a workshop for called "Mastering the Art of Small Talk"; two majors—education and sports management—require their students to take it. It also offers a seminar in taking criticism.
"This generation talks better with their thumbs than face to face," Randall says.
It's not just communicating that appears to challenge this latest group of college students. It's mingling, networking, handling conflict, eating—even dressing.
"Students don't really know what's meant by professional dress, whether it's a young lady wearing a skirt that's way too short or a young man whose pants aren't really tailored," says Hamlett. "Most students just roll out of bed in whatever it is they want to wear. There's this 'come as you are' about being a college student."
Female students in particular also follow fashion blogs: "So that lends itself to an idea of what they should be wearing, not understanding that what you see on a fashion blog may not exactly be the most appropriate thing to wear to an interview."
At Wake Forest University's business school, master's candidates are required to wear business attire to class and to be in the building from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If they don't know what "business attire" means, that will be covered soon, too, by a program in leadership that starts next year at the Winston-Salem, N.C., school. It will, among other things, teach them how to dress.
MBA and law students at the University of Iowa learn table manners at an annual "etiquette dinner," where they're told where to rest their silverware between courses and on which side of their place settings to return their water glasses. Other schools are adding similar programs.
Smothering baby boomer parents have protected their children from the demands of the real world, as opposed to showing them how to survive it, says Aaron McDaniel author of The Young Professional's Guide to the Working World: Savvy Strategies to Get In, Get Ahead, and Rise to the Top.
"We feel so entitled to everything, because everyone has changed their lives for us," says McDaniel. "Our parents had our lives at the centre of theirs, as opposed to teaching us how things really are. It was all about us, and we expect that to continue."

Let $h:S^1\to X$ a continuous map. Show that if $h$ can be extended to a continuous map $H:B^2\to X$, then $h_*$ is a trivial homomorphism.
I simply don't know how to use the fact that h can be extended to a continuous map H to prove that $h_*$ is a trivial homomorphism. We have to prove that $h_*([f])=c_{x_0}$, where $c_{x_0}$ is constant map from $I$ to the base point $x_0\in X$ and $f$ is a loop in $S^1$. I tried to use the definition of $h_*([f])=[h\circ f]$ also no results. I'm think about to use deformations retractions of $D^2$ to a point but I don't know how.

- Geared to young, active and fun-loving German speakers
- Casual atmosphere with no dress code, open dining
- Sails Europe, Middle East, Canary Islands, Caribbean
- Flagship AIDAdiva offers dining choices, balconies and luxury
- AIDA News: Update: Cruise Line Cancels All Calls in Israel After Rocket Shrapnel Lands on Ship
OnboardAIDA's emphasis is on an active, ultra-casual cruise experience. The informal "club" ethos is reflected in every facet of the experience -- for starters, unlike almost all other cruise ships, off-duty crew are allowed to mingle freely with passengers. By day there is a big emphasis on wellness and fitness activities in the large and popular AIDA Spa and Fit & Fun, and on the expansive open decks. At night there's lively entertainment in the theatre, and the well-patronized bars and lounges create a festive, easygoing atmosphere.
Dining, as befits the unstructured "club ship" concept, is entirely open-seating and takes place in two (or, on the new AIDAdiva, three) large self-service restaurants. While there is no main dining room, buffets on AIDA are executed with unusual finesse for mass-market ships. For those who get tired of buffet meals, an a la carte restaurant (several on AIDAdiva) offers high-quality cuisine in a more elegant atmosphere.
About AIDAAIDA Cruises, Germany's largest cruise line, can trace its history back to 1960's East Germany. In 1960, Deutsche Seereederei, East Germany's state-owned shipping company, purchased the Swedish-American liner Stockholm of Andrea Doria sinking fame, renamed it Volkerfreundschaft ("Friendship Between Peoples"), and put it into service as a cruise ship -- or "holidaymaker ship," as it was called -- for the East German market. Later, the ship was chartered by foreign tour operators for part of the year.
In 1985 the Volkerfreundschaft was retired (After several more owners and a massive refit, it now sails as Classic International Cruises' Athena.), and was replaced by the Arkona, which had been built only four years earlier as the Astor for an unsuccessful new West German cruise line. Like its predecessor, the Astor sailed part of the year as a "holidaymaker ship" for "well-deserved socialists" in East Germany, and the rest of the year on charter to Western tour operators. In 1991, after Germany's reunification, Deutsche Seereederei was privatized -- like many of East Germany's state-owned companies bought by West German investors -- and the Arkona was chartered year-round to the West German tour operator Seetours.
In 1994, the company placed an order for its first brand-new ship, from Kvaerner Masa-Yards (now known as STX Finland Cruise) in Finland. Named Aida and entering service in 1996, the ship introduced a totally new concept called "club cruising." Based on Germany's popular Robinson Club resorts (think of a German Club Med), Aida's "club ship" experience was radically different from traditional cruising. Except for a small a la carte alternative restaurant, all the dining was buffet-style; there were no dress codes, and a strong emphasis was put on wellness and fitness-related activities.
Meanwhile, the company also continued operating the traditional Arkona on charter to Seetours, which it later acquired from the huge German tour operator TUI in 1997. That same year, Aida was sold to NCL, but continued on charter to Deutsche Seereederei.
In 1999, DSR's cruise operation -- now renamed Seetours, and incorporating both Arkona and Aida, which was bought back from NCL -- was sold to P&O Princess Cruises, the world's third-largest cruise operator. Recognizing the huge success of the "club ship" product, P&O Princess immediately ordered two new ships for the Aida brand from Aker MTW Werft, not far from Seetours' headquarters in the former East Germany. In 2001, Aida was renamed AIDAcara in preparation for the brand's second ship, which entered service in 2002 as AIDAvita.
At the same time, Arkona was sold and replaced by a new brand, A'ROSA, a more upscale product loosely based on the AIDA concept. The A'ROSA fleet was made up of A'ROSA BLU, the former Crown Princess, and the newly built river cruise ships A'ROSA BELLA and A'ROSA DONNA. By now, Seetours was the largest cruise operator in Germany.
The AIDA concept was so successful that P&O Princess created Ocean Village for the U.K. market -- essentially a British version of AIDA, though billed as "the cruise for people who don't do cruises" rather than "club ship." Despite the different name, Ocean Village, whose eponymous first vessel was previously P&O's Arcadia, copied almost all the aspects of AIDA's groundbreaking product.
AIDAaura, the brand's third ship and an identical sister to AIDAvita, entered service in 2003. Shortly before the new ship's delivery, P&O Princess merged with Carnival, and AIDA became part of the world's largest cruise operator. Shortly after the merger, Carnival sold the A'ROSA name and the two river cruise ships back to Seetours' former parent company, Deutsche Seereederei, while A'ROSA BLU moved to AIDA as AIDAblu, the largest-yet AIDA ship. Seetours - still headquartered in Rostock in the former East Germany - was renamed AIDA Cruises and was now Carnival's sole German-market brand. Not long after the sale of A'ROSA, in 2004, Carnival announced an order for two new AIDA ships of a totally new design, to be built at Meyer Werft, the largest builder of cruise ships in Germany. Before the first of these ships was even delivered, two more were ordered -- one in 2005 and one in 2006 -- demonstrating the huge popularity of the brand and the amount of confidence Carnival has in it.
AIDA had one of its biggest years yet in 2007. The first of the new class of ships, AIDAdiva, entered service, while AIDAblu -- always purely a "stopgap" ship for AIDA, as it wasn't purpose-built for the company -- left the fleet, headed for that British AIDA copy Ocean Village. In early 2007, Carnival also announced the foundation of a new joint venture with TUI, Germany's largest tour operator. The venture is 25 percent owned by TUI and 75 percent by Carnival, and it encompasses AIDA and also in the future a new, more traditional German-market cruise brand called TUI Cruises. In a way, this joint venture has brought AIDA full circle -- it was TUI from which Deutsche Seereederei bought Seetours, and TUI founded and owns the Robinson Clubs on which the "club ship" concept itself was based.
AIDAdiva's sister ship, AIDAbella, followed in 2008, followed by debuts in 2009 (AIDAluna), 2010 (AIDAblu) and 2011 (AIDAsol), all cementing AIDA's position as by far the largest German cruise line. Two more 71,300-ton vessels are due in spring 2012 and spring 2013. In August 2011, Carnival announced plans for two 125,000-ton, 3,250-passenger ships that will debut a year apart starting in spring 2015.
AIDA FleetThe original Aida, built in 1996, is now AIDAcara; the 38,531-ton, 1,180-passenger ship was refurbished in 2005. Similar but slightly larger are the 2002-built, 42,289-ton, 1,266-passenger AIDAvita and its 2003-built sister AIDAaura. These mid-sized ships form the backbone of the AIDA fleet. All were custom-designed for the "club ship" concept and thus feature two large buffet restaurants, along with only a small (extra-cost) waiter-service restaurant. There is the usual array of bars and lounges, a large theatre, a big pool deck with volleyball/basketball court, an absolutely vast AIDA Spa, an equally big fitness complex called Fit & Fun that even includes an indoor putting green and golf simulatorm, and a kids' club.
Entering service in April 2007, the flagship AIDAdiva was much larger than previous ships in the fleet, coming in at 68,500 tons and carrying 2,050 passengers. A totally new design, this ship was the first in the fleet to have a large number of cabins with balconies, and offers more of everything -- more space, more dining choices (it was the first AIDA ship with multiple specialty restaurants), more amenities and more luxury. The highlight of the ship is the Theatrium, a circular, glass-walled, glass-domed combination theater/nightclub located right in the middle of the ship and surrounded by various bars and other entertainment venues. There's also a third main restaurant, and to the gourmet specialty restaurant that's present across the fleet, AIDAdiva added new offerings like a steakhouse, pizzeria and sushi bar. Following AIDAdiva, the line rolled out AIDAbella (2008), AIDAluna (2009), AIDAblu (2010) and AIDAsol (2011). Four more ships are due in the coming years, including two 125,000-ton, 3,250-passenger twins due in spring 2015 and spring 2106.
Fellow PassengersGerman is the onboard language, so passengers consist almost entirely of Germans and other German-speaking Europeans like Austrians and Swiss. AIDA passengers, as the onboard experience suggests, tend to be young, active, and out to have fun; older Germans gravitate to the many more traditional and sedate cruise lines operating in the German-speaking market.

WINTERSVILLE - Sarah Cross, agriculture and natural resource educator at the Jefferson County Ohio State University Extension office, is well into her duties with the Extension after starting her job in mid-September.
A former field geologist for Aero-Tek Inc. and working out of New Philadelphia, she is now planning Farm to School programs with Stanton Elementary School in Hammondsville, where the pupils in third through sixth grades are planting lettuce in a greenhouse and then will be consumed in the school cafeteria.
"We are doing experiments, with a chance to do hands-on science experiments and providing food for the school cafeteria," she said.

"Oil and gas programs are scheduled, with a talk in Marietta on pipeline easements and right-of-way agreements, and I am working with the Jefferson County Cattleman's Association to develop a beef school," she said of other Extension projects.
Cross will be working with the Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Eastern Ohio Grazing Council on developing a pasture walk curriculum as well.
"There are a great many agriculture people in the area and we need to meet the needs of farmers," she said.
"I would like to start a Master Gardener program, and anyone interested in this can call me at (740) 264-2212 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am interested in having a community garden through a horticultural workshop series," Cross explained.
The office is located at 587 Bantam Ridge Road.
"Kay Clay of Harrison County will help to coordinate the Master Gardener program for both counties if there is an interest," she added. "There are many gardening questions and questions on insect identification that are asked, along with the livestock management and water quality for oil and gas development that I want to do."
