You might say it's a mixed bag of news for North Topeka this week. Either of two announcements from KDOT Tuesday could be good news or bad news, depending on your perspective.
First came word that the Cloverleaf intersection at Hwy. 24 and N. Topeka Blvd. will remain. KDOT will replace the existing bridge (it dates back to 1941) but keep the cloverleaf design as is. They originally wanted to replace it with an at-grade signalized intersection, but the City Council voted in March not to fund its share of that option.
Discloure here - I drive the cloverleaf every day and don't have a bit of problem. I can count on one hand the number of accidents I've seen there in the past dozen years. It's been even better since they put an extended merging lane from southbound Topeka Blvd. to westbound Hwy. 24. That said, what do you think - is this a good decision? Or is it short-sighted?
Which brings us to the second KDOT announcement Tuesday - it is suspending work on its US-24 Corridor Management Plan. After nearly four years, they say, there's no clear consensus on a vision for the highway from K-4 to Menoken Rd. in Shawnee County. You might recall some controversy erupted over this when an out-of-town study group talked about doing away with frontage roads and creating back entrances for the businesses - business owners were not happy. That sent the process back to the drawing board, and KDOT and the Metro Topeka Planning Organization went forward. KDOT did say in its Tuesday announcement that it would be willing to resume talks with planning partners when there is greater understanding of the vision.
What do you think of this? Is it a blow to future development in the norther portions of Topeka? Or do you think the area is moving along just fine and doesn't need any "planners" getting involved?
Tell me how you feel!

The first private Spinpower™ Instructor Trainings are in the books for St. Louis, MO at NutriFormance and Greenwood, CO at Greenwood Athletic Club. The power meter innovation on the Spinner® Blade ION and the Spinpower™ Instructor Training has proven effective in maximizing results for those Instructors. They will now incorporate immediate and accurate measurements to gauge intensity of the work performed on their tricked out Spinner Blade ION's. The participants walked away with so much knowledge, learning how measuring work effort is the key tool to weight loss, fitness, and performance goals and the application in the Spinpower™ Program. Check out some comments:
"This training will greatly impact the way I teach in the
future! Excited to give our members measurable and real results!" Wendy Gossett
"I have been teaching indoor cycle for 19 years and it is like a breath of fresh air and a new excitement in my heart for teaching with the Spin Power bikes! Friday was filled with useful and scientific information, presented in a clear and concise manner that anyone could understand. It gave us the foundation and knowledge to coach/teach an effective, safe, and fun class! Lisa McLain
"… thank you for working with our team on Friday!
They are so inspired to teach! Very cool." Dale Huff
"Hands down Spinpower™ is the best indoor cycling power education available to indoor cycling instructors. Spinpower™ elevates you from an instructor to a true
cycling coachSpinpower elevates you from instructor to a true cycling coach." Justin
Look at those smiles! I am so honored to be a part of the first two official Spinpower™ Instructor Trainings IN THE WORLD!

If we don't sign one it'll be TE.
If a really good talent at Safety was there it would make sense to grab him. Safety might be their biggest need now right behind DE and DT.
Good luck if you are counting Sash and Mundy
maybe in the second round but still unlikely...
Elam is a 2nd - 3rd rounder IMO.
We'll see though.

User Comments for Week 13 RB Rankings
In a half PPR league, who to start at flex: Sproles, Moreno, or Reece (assuming McFadden is back)???
goalee1486 11/27/12 08:55 PM
Lynch against the Bears D or Felix Jones against the Eagles D @ RB1? Beanie Wells @ RB2
giwarriors12 11/27/12 10:23 PM
How are you still putting Ryan Mathews in the Top 10??
easye7 11/28/12 10:00 AM
well, Matthews is actually listed #12 - but I have him and yes, he definitely sucks
ceever 11/28/12 11:38 AM
Got 4 RB's for 3 spots... Michael Bush, Reggie Bush, Stevan Ridley and Chris Johnson. I'm wondering why you have Ridley ranked so high this week? He was the one I was thinking of leaving out of my lineup.
pyrokid24 11/28/12 11:54 AM
Need two....Reggie Bush, Micheal Bush, Ryan Mathews, Fred Jackson. Thanks.
tmtaz 11/29/12 09:25 AM
What you fantasy football freaks think?? Start Michael turner or deangelo Williams? Help me out!!
fmunewt15 11/29/12 10:50 AM
in a non PPR league who's the best start; Rashad Jennings, Darren Sproles or Darren McFadden? im pretty lean on talent this week. thanks
mcantarutti 11/29/12 04:18 PM
Aight boys I need a smart call here, I win this week I'm in the playoffs, I lose I'm done. Depressing I know. I need to sit two and they all have tough matchups. Lynch vs. Bears, Forte vs. Seahawks, Ridley vs. Dolphins or Reece vs. Browns.
Thanks guys.
Maz 11/30/12 09:46 AM
i need help!!! ppr league who should i start green ellis vs chargers, bradshaw vs washington, ty hilton vs detroit, and dennis pitta or jermaine grasham.....thank you guys
MFbeefy 11/30/12 05:07 PM
*Steven Ridley Owners* I agree with the high ranking of Ridley here. Why? In the last four meetings between New England and Miami, the Patriots are averaging OVER 32 RUSH ATTEMPTS PER GAME!. The last time the Pats had a go-to RB was 2010. The Law Firm (BJG) had an average of 4.35 yards per rush and two touchdowns in the season series of two games - (14 pts./Gm).
I think Ridley has another solid day with the following stat line: 20 atts, 88 yds, 1 TD, 2 Rec., 14 yds. (16.2 Pts.).
nl1088 12/01/12 12:48 AM
Steven Rdiley has been quit the player this year. He's actually outperforming Ray Rice in my opinion. Rice may have more points, but Ridley has been much more consistent.
xxjonesy87 12/01/12 11:33 AM
Can someone explain to me what the heck probable (personal) next to the player means? Is it a personal reason; personal injury; personal like staff making the decission they are probable just want to confirm. And if it's a personal injury reason why don't they mark where the injury is...makes no sense to me just wondering. I'd pick Foster but just trying to confirm if I should considering he's one that's listed probale (personal) anyway thanks. Just wondering....

Is there any real process in which $PV^n=C$ where $P,V$ stands for pressure, volume respectively. $C$ is a constant and $n$ is a positive integer?
I am familiar with Boyle's law that states that $P\propto\frac{1}{V}$ when the temperature is constant. But according to the first equation, since $n$ is any positive integer, there are systems where $P\propto\frac{1}{V^2}$ , $P\propto\frac{1}{V^3}$ etc.
Do such systems in which pressure is inversely proportional to square or cube of the volume really exist? Can anyone explain with example? Does this have any application in Engineering? (I found this in an engineering textbook.)

Let's say I have a file containing a random bunch of bits and then I encrypt it using some modern algorithm (Blowfish, AES, or whatever). If someone captures the file and mounts a brute force attack on it, how will they know they've successfully decrypted it? It would be obvious if the original input was meaningful, but in this case the original input was just a bunch of random bytes. How would they know, if at all, that this was the CORRECT bunch of random bytes?
They wouldn't. The problem you described is well-addressed in the Wikipedia article on Unicity Distance. That article also links to one by Bruce Schneier that may be more accessible.
Generally people do not encrypt random garbage. Assuming they did, a ciphertext only attack would be impossible.
Consider, however, that common cryptographic schemes add to the message non random data, such as padding data and message authentication codes. In some schemes, these can be used to check whether a guessed key is correct.
In general way they can't break the encryption (if you encrypt randomfile (for example secret key) or even compress file) but if sniffer have some other access to sender or receiver system they can do some other type of attack, and can break random file encryption. you read more there:
If the cleartext just random then they won't know. However, most file types have some sort of recognizable structure. Passing blob A through algorithm B with key C will yield some output. If that output has structure to it then you've got a winner.
They don't. TrueCrypt takes advantage of this very fact to offer plausible deniability through 'hidden volumes': http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=hidden-volume
Your question appears twofold to me. First of all, a good encryption algorithm is indistinguishable from randomness. So, nobody will even distinguish your cipher text from random data. Furthermore a falsely decrypted cipher text will also look random. Thus, you will not be able to find the random data originally fed into the cipher with an exhaustive key search.
Secondly the point is that people usually don't feed random data into the cipher. Current encryption standards do not only cover the algorithm but also the data used. People usually pre- and suffix your data always with a certain padding and certain metadata (encryption schemes have a fixed lengh. you should somehow specify how long your text was). Knowing this standard bits will obviously make the decision between the right and the wrong key easier :) While padding serves mostly practical purposes, it may also enhance or even ensure security features (cf. chosen plain-text attack on textbook RSA).
If the file is unicode/ansi/etc, you can make some algorithm to parse something like the 200 first character of a file and see if there are more latin characters than other characters.
I remember I was quite annoyed when I tried the XOR brute force attack on some simple euler-project exercise, but it was easy and I just had to search for common english words.
I read somewhere that in encryption software, the implementation is very much important, sometimes more important than the alorithms. When I read that, I still wonder if one is talking about obvious subjects like pseudo random generators, or rather less obvious details like how to hide the format of the file you encrypt.
For example, if you encrypt a file, if it's a PNG file or GIF file, make sure to remove the magic number/string those file formats contains, and if it is a text file, don't use an ASCII table: use you own character table, for example just put all the latin character at 0, numbers at 245-255, and so on. you could also permutation, or rot13, or else.
Algorithms such as AES or Blowfish/TwoFish are "mathematically" secure, because it has been proven no attacks OTHER THAN BRUTEFORCE has been tested as efficient enough: you can only decipher the text by finding the actual key.
But those algorithms are only theorically efficient, you MUST implement them considering other practice factors such as file size, compression use, text encoding etc.
For example, know that it would be just plain stupid to store the filename in plain text next to your crypted file.
Besides the theoretically ignorant approach by some "pros" in the field, there's a rather simple answer to your question: by comparing the "brute-force decryption results" with obvious stuff for categorization purposes.
Let me give you practical examples: text files will most probably contain "stop words" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words ). Find more than one stop-word after decryption and you've most probably decoded some text successfully.
Media files like images and most other filetypes (audio, video, etc.) all have specific headers, making identification of the kind of data rather easy. Think you've decrypted a jpeg because you detected a look-alike header? Check the file format. Looks like it's correct? Then you've most probably successfully decrypted a jpeg media file.
I could provide books of examples... but I be you know what I mean by now, don't you? ;)
The rest is up to a little "human verification" so you know when to stop brute-forcing whatever you're trying to decrypt.
Is it practical? No. But it can be done when coded correctly and it does make the job easier. I've seen it in action several times; not only in a corporate environment.

Today, traditional journalism faces challenges ranging from Gawker to "The Daily Show." Five decades ago, however, the alternatives to conventional reporting came from other print outlets, often in the form of underground newspapers.
Among those was the East Village Other, the East Village's underground newspaper, which published in the 1960s and early 1970s and contained the writings of P.J. O'Rourke, Ishmael Reed, Suze Rotolo, and Claudia Dreifus, as well as the illustrated works of Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Kim Deitch, Trina Robbins, and Spain Rodriguez, among many others.
In celebration of the publication, the Local East Village, a New York Times community web site run in collaboration with New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, is running essays by East Village Other (EVO) writers and editors as well as those in their sphere, recalling the days—and nights—at the paper as well as life in the East Village during its run. Contributors include: Ishmael Reed, Dan Rattiner, Claudia Dreifus, Ed Sanders, and Coca Crystal, among others. They may be read here.
The essays appear in conjunction with the forthcoming "BLOWING MINDS: The East Village Other, the Rise of Underground Comix, and the Alternative Press, 1965-1972," an exhibition highlighting the newspaper. The exhibition includes original copies of the East Village Other, enlarged covers of the newspaper's seminal issues, and artifacts from its 2nd Avenue office. It runs from Feb. 29 through March 16 at the Carter Journalism Institute, 20 Cooper Square, 6th Floor (between 5th and 6th Streets). Viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. For more information, call 212.998.8044. Subways: 6 (Astor Place); N, R (8th Street).
More information on the exhibition and on a Feb. 28 panel discussion featuring EVO writers and editors is available at: http://EastVillageOther.org.
Along with the Local East Village, the exhibition sponsors are NYU's Fales Library and Special Collections, and NYU's Program in Museum Studies, with support from the New York Council for the Humanities, the NYU Humanities Initiative, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and Alan Abramson.

My C# skills are low, but I can't understand why the following fails:
public interface IQuotable {}
public class Order : IQuotable {}
public class Proxy {
public void GetQuotes(IList<IQuotable> list) { ... }
Then the code is as follows:
List<Order> orders = new List<Orders>();
orders.Add(new Order());
orders.Add(new Order());
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.GetQuotes(orders); // produces compile error
Am I simply doing something wrong and not seeing it? Since Order implements Quotable, a list of order would go in as IList of quoatables. I have something like in Java and it works, so I'm pretty sure its my lack of C# knowledge.

OKLAHOMA CITY - It has been a rare occurrence this season for the Freed-Hardeman Lady Lions to struggle in late innings, but during the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round, Bellevue (Neb.) managed to find a way to make that happen.
For the second straight day, the Bruins took the lead after the fourth inning and ended Freed-Hardeman's season by handing the Lady Lions a 9-2 defeat in an elimination game in the Oklahoma City bracket.
As it did yesterday, momentum shifted with one swing of the bat.
FHU held a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning before Bellevue's Amanda Neumann hit a three-run home run with two strikes and two outs to give the Bruins the lead for the first time in the game.
The sixth inning wasn't any better for the Lady Lions as Bellevue scored five more times and essentially ended the hopes for a comeback. FHU was retired in order in the seventh, bringing its season to an end.
The Lady Lions took an early lead on a two-out single by Amber Vansandt after Shelby Cummings and Mercedes Norfork drew back-to-back walks. Bellevue answered with a run in the second, but Bailey Morgan's solo home run helped FHU retake the lead in the fourth inning.
Sarah Elizabeth Cousar retired the side in the fourth but ran into trouble in the fifth. A two-out walk to Alyssa Matoba came back to haunt her as Neumann followed with her go-ahead home run.
FHU had a chance to make up the runs in the top of the sixth after getting runners on first and second with one out, but Neumann again came up big - this time pitching in relief, retiring Allie Carpenter and Natalie Nelson to end the threat.
Earlier in the day, the Lady Lions earned their first-ever national tournament win scoring six runs early to take a 9-2 victory over Hastings (Neb.).
Vansandt had a big game, going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in the third. The shot, her fourth of the year, gave FHU a 6-0 lead which was plenty for Cousar (27-6) who went the distance with 11 strikeouts.
Freed-Hardeman took a 4-0 lead after two innings, scoring all four runs with two outs in the second as Cousar and Summer Cole both delivered two-run singles. Three more runs were tacked on in the sixth on an RBI single by Kohnley Wade and a two-run single by Cummings.
Carpenter had three hits in the win while Wade had two as the Lady Lions pounded out 14 hits.
Unfortunately, it was Bellevue that ended up swinging the hotter bats in the final game of the day. Morgan was the only Lady Lions with multiple hits (two) in that game.
The loss brings to an end the careers of six Lady Lions - Cummings, Norfork, Vansandt, Caneisha Turner, Summer Cole and Savannah Cole - who will leave as the first senior class to play in the national tournament. Vansandt ended her career on a high note personally, going 6-for-9 in the tournament with five RBIs.
FHU finishes the year with a 32-9 record, the best single-season winning percentage (.780) of any team in program history.

What is the Significance of the foods eaten on Rosh Hashanah,now i know the gemara brings them down but why did the Gemara choose these particular ones also the apple in honey whats the significance of that I know sweet year but why apple and why Honey and not Sugar?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Honey instead of sugar is simply a minhag. Sephardim don't typically use honey and instead use sugar. The apple is cooked in sugar by sephardim(Sefer Ben Ish Hai Year 1 Parashat Nizzavim 4).
They didn't have refined sugar in Talmudic times. In fact, as Rashi points out, "Dvash" could in some contexts simply mean anything sweet.
Summary Of Matzav ANswers to Signifigance of Apple and Honey 1.Maharil-Yitzchok smelled an apple orchard when Yaakov to receive the Brachos. The Vilna Gaon in the Biur HaGra says that this happened on Rosh HaShanah.

Why don't they just call it "slightly better deals long weekend?"
So, Black Friday deals started on Thursday, and were extended to Saturday. Now Cyber Monday deals start on Sunday, and will probably carry over into Tuesday. And don't even get me started on the pre-Black Friday I saw back in July. Can we just call it "deals weekend" and leave it at that?
7 Answers answer
Thank you, for the first hearty laugh of the morning.
If I could be so bold, if this is your marketing slogan, you may not have a future in marketing. Humor... perhaps.
The watering-down of the term "Black Friday" will eventually be it's demise. I hope.
@skepticaljohn: how about "only marked up 102% pre-holiday discounts?" Or, "The Ultimate Fighter, Walmart edition?"Any better?
I bought most of my Black Friday deals the week before, and have now bought all my Cyber Monday deals already...Cyber Monday came about when a lot of people would start online shopping on their first day at work after the holiday on their employer's internet connection...now you can be buying all this stuff on your phone, so it's become an irrelevance.
As for the BF deals getting earlier, there have been a few ads for Black November....we're wooters, we're looking for deals yearlong anyway
Well Woot had already claimed Cash Grab so they had to keep the name the same this year.
I do agree though with all of these "super specials and deals" that consumers will get tired sooner and figure if they miss one sale, it will be back next week. Stores are really just shooting themselves in the foot and creating an image that they will find it hard to recover from.
@rayray8822: I hope you are right, but I have my doubts.....
Cyber Monday was great the first year the deals were amazing. Every year after that it however has becoming continuously degrading in terms of deals. Now it seems online retailers have gotten so comfortable with the idea that the shoppers will come
that they don't even try anymore. It's the exact same as what Black Friday has been for a long time.

When I was kid, I remember vaguely channel surfing at my friend's house. There was a sci-fi movie set maybe in out of space.
Premise: There were these woman, unclothed maybe they were aliens or zombies, whenever a guy kissed them they would turn into the woman's slave, or zombie or something.
I know the description is kind of vague. Any idea which movie it is?

Most of the long distance trains in India have bookings opened 90 days before the train ride. There are some that have a shorter period available.
Which exact Indian trains have reservations open only 30 day prior to departure?
From Seat61:
There may not be a hard rule which trains fall into the 90 or 30 day category. If you are interested in a particular train, you can try to book it online 60 days in the future and see whether you can book it. You can try cleartrip or the official Indian railway site
Interestingly enough cleartrip allows me to book 'Delhi to Kalka' in April 2012 (88 days from now), so the 30 days mentioned above may no longer be correct.
According to the Indian Railways site
You can get a partial list (though not official) of Inter city trains from Wiki

What is The Service Thing?
Over the years, CCSJ has developed relationships with a number of service agencies in and around Baltimore. As a result, Loyola students have the opportunity to become involved with one or more of approximately 50 agencies and programs. All CCSJ programs are supported by a team of student leaders and staff who facilitate preparation and reflection on service experiences.
Most service opportunities are off campus, although there are some on-campus programs. Some experiences involve groups and others are one-on-one. To fit all schedules and interests, these service opportunities include one-time events, weekly (or ongoing) service, and week-long immersion programs. Students can serve at different times of the day and on different days of the week, including weekends, winter and spring breaks, and over the summer.
CCSJ offers many different ways to get involved besides on-going community service. These include: one-time events, immersion programs, service-learning courses, and service and social justice awareness events.
Each year, approximately 2,500 students participate in community service and 160 participate in a service immersion experience (Experience Baltimore, Spring Break Outreach, Project US, Encounter El Salvador).
Service Coordinators are current Loyola undergraduate students who have been hired to help organize and implement community service programs. They work an average of 12 hours per week recruiting, preparing, and supporting volunteers as well as communicating with service agencies to keep things running smoothly. Service Coordinators are also responsible for facilitating reflection for their volunteers to learn from and make meaning out of their experiences.
Students interested in working as a Service Coordinator complete applications in January/February and go through an interview process before being hired for the following academic year. Learn more about how to apply.
Service commitments vary by program. CCSJ's staff is dedicated to working with each interested student to find the service opportunity that best fits his/her interests, abilities, and schedule.
Students who have completed the driver's authorization form are eligible to reserve vehicles through the Loyola Motor Pool to use for transportation to and from service sites. The process of clearance to drive a vehicle can take up to 6 weeks. Once cleared, a student must request a vehicle no later than one week prior to the time when they wish to travel. Service Coordinators help volunteers to navigate this tricky process by setting up carpooling options. Bus passes are also available at CCSJ. Learn more about transportation.
Every program is open to people of all faiths, traditions, and beliefs. Those who desire to give, receive, and learn through service are welcome to participate. Learn more about the service-faith/spirituality connection.
At Loyola, part of our goal of forming "men and women for and with others" means helping students identify ways to incorporate service into their lives after graduation. CCSJ's staff offers resources and support to students as they consider various ways to make service a life-long commitment. Each year, CCSJ holds a Community Service Career Fair, inviting more than 30 programs to share their materials and experiences about post-college service opportunities.
Reflection is an essential component of all CCSJ service experiences and provides students an opportunity to learn from and make meaning out of their experience. The Service Thing provides fun ways to allow that to happen!

Here the skin looks almost loose around the neck as the baby has turned his head slightly. This is normal at this stage: the lack of fat beneath the skin and the need to grow rapidly can make your baby appear as if he needs time to "grow into" his own skin.
While you may be enjoying your food, you could be paying the price with indigestion. The pregnancy hormone progesterone relaxes the muscles in the entire digestive tract. This slows digestion and the sphincters, or rings of muscles, at each end of the stomach become less effective. This can cause heartburn and indigestion as acidic juices from the stomach leak back into the esophagus. In addition, as your pregnancy progresses, your growing baby is squashing your stomach so that you have a smaller space to digest food.
To relieve indigestion, eat little and often, eat slowly, don't eat late at night, and cut down on fatty or spicy foods. Make sure to talk to your doctor about any natural remedies, including peppermint tea. Rather than lie flat, prop yourself up with pillows. Check with your pharmacist before taking over-the-counter medicine.
Although it's much less common than paid maternity leave, you may be entitled to paternity leave and pay (see Going back to work). Speak to your human resources department now to find out your rights and whether your company offers additional perks. To maximize the time you can take off once the baby is born, figure out how much vacation you have left and consider saving up days. You may also qualify for FMLA leave, but this is unpaid.
Yes, pregnancy slows down your digestive tract, which can lead to unpleasant burping, bloating, passing gas, and an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach. Symptoms can be worse after you eat a large meal. To minimize problems:

The 6 Most WTF Scientific Theories About Existence
The universe is a really strange place, and as science progresses, it just keeps looking weirder. So when fringe theories like the below come about, your first impulse is to laugh them off, but then you think, "Is it really that much stranger than what we know now?"
So we're not saying that any of these mind-blowing theories about the nature of everything are accurate, we're just saying that they were proposed by people smarter than us, and it's fun to think about how ...
#6. We Might Be Living in the Matrix
Comstock Images/Photos.com
In The Matrix, Keanu Reeves is horrified to learn that the universe he's been living in is actually a computer program designed by a giant, malicious robot intelligence, and that he's actually a hairless man-baby swimming in a vat of goop in the bowels of a dystopian machine-brain. That's about as fictional as science fiction can get, but there are working scientists in the real world who wonder seriously about the idea that we might be living in an actual Matrix.
Warner Bros.
"Shit. So that red pill wasn't Ecstasy."
First, there's British philosopher Nick Bostrom, who came up with a statistical argument that we're living in an extremely sophisticated version of The Sims. The idea is that we have the ability and the inclination to build our own simulated realities, as evidenced by the growing video game industry. Thus it's inevitable that we'll build our own Matrix one day, when our level of technology allows it. That simulation will continue to grow in realism and complexity until one day it will have its own civilization, who will want to build a simulation of their own, and onward to infinity.
Electronic Arts
How much pixelation do you have over your junk? If your answer is any at all, you're probably living in The Sims.
If that's true, then there might be a virtually infinite number of simulations out there, so the chances that we're one of them are actually much higher than the chances that we're not.
Then there's physicist Silas Beane from the University of Bonn in Germany. His theory is that, if we are actually living in a computer simulation, then our universe should have a "resolution" -- in other words, there should be a limit to how small something can be, just like nothing can be smaller than the pixels on your computer screen.
Now, is the universe in VGA or super VGA?
And, incidentally, they have found such a limit. It's something called the Greisen-Zatsepin--Kuzmin or GZK limit. It's about as technical as you'd expect for something with that many hyphens and consonants, but Beane thinks it might be the first evidence that the world around us is made up of artificial bits created by some other intelligence. Of course, this evidence might not be that compelling by itself, but Beane and his colleagues are busy thinking up new ways to detect the computer we might be living in, presumably by mapping the universe in search of the Blue Screen of Death.
Congratulations -- proof we're all living inside a computer! Also, everyone's now dead.
As with all of the fringe theories on this list, there are those who scoff at such a notion. And they will continue to, right up to the point that a team of superpowered Matrix Agents storm their office.
#5. There Is Probably Another You Out There
Almost every sci-fi franchise has done the "evil alternate-universe version of the main character" storyline at least once. They just can't resist a scene where the hero fights a dark, bearded version of himself. Well, if certain experts are right, your doppelganger is out there, somewhere.
Peter Hart/Photos.com
Unfortunately it doesn't only work for hot people.
The theory goes that there are only a certain number of combinations of particles possible. Give a room full of kids a set of five LEGO blocks and a few of them are going to wind up building the same thing -- there are only so many ways they can fit together. Well, everything in our world -- including the people in it -- is just LEGO structures made of tiny particles. There's only so many possible combinations, and in a large enough universe, all those bits are inevitably going to wind up in the same place again and create another you.
It's not likely that you'll ever cross paths, though. Science's prediction is that your doppelganger lives about 10 to the 1028 meters away (or farther than you could travel by bus).
Stephen Page/Photos.com
And even if you could, you'd probably have to sit beside this guy the whole way.
Nevertheless, the bigger the universe is, the more likely it is that there's another you walking around out there. Scientists don't actually know how big the universe is, by the way, but if it happens to be infinite -- which some think it is -- then the fact that you have a cosmic twin is downright certain. On an infinite scale, every pattern has to repeat eventually. The only possible question is, if you ever did run into your cosmic twin, would you fight or fuck?
#4. We Might Collide With Another Universe Someday
Neven Bijelic/Photos.com
String theory is like the eccentric uncle of theories about the universe. Not everybody is happy to see him, but you can't just not invite him to the family get-together. It's a theory that suggests, among other things, that the whole of the universe is stuck to a giant sheet of fabric that they call a "brane." Like all of reality is just a doodle on the back of a coffee-stained napkin.
Jami Garrison/Photos.com
Oh great, Uncle String Theory is here with more of his stories.
What's more is that we're not the only brane out there. There should be other branes floating around in the cosmic nothing that lies outside of our own universe. These would all be parallel universes. It's kind of a Doctor Who fan's wet dream. The terrifying thing is that there aren't any cosmic traffic cops out there, so there's nothing stopping one universe from smacking into another one.
What would that look like? University of California physicist Anthony Aguirre thinks it would be like a giant mirror coming down at us from the heavens so that the last thing we see is our own horrified expressions as we immediately understand the fact of our impending obliteration. Although he didn't quite put it like that.
Christopher Noble/Photos.com
"No! No! I don't want to die staring at my own stupid hipster beard!"
If this was even possible, then it should have happened before, right? Well, physicists are rarely in the business of putting us at ease. Tufts University physicist Alex Vilenkin and his colleagues think they may have found the scars of a collision between our universe and another one at some point in our history. The "cosmic microwave background" is a faint radioactive signal that permeates the entire universe, and all of science's calculations insist that it should be pretty uniform across the universe. But it isn't -- there are hot and cold spots in some places. Vilenkin and Co. think that this disruption might be evidence that other universes have been smacking into ours.
Again, other people think they're crazy, we're just passing it along.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Authorities have released the names of the 26 people gunned down in a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school.
All six adults killed at the school were women. Of the 20 children who were shot to death, eight were boys and 12 were girls. All the children were ages 6 or 7.
Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, who killed himself after the massacre.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- The gunman behind the Connecticut elementary school massacre stormed into the building and shot 20 children at least twice with a high-powered rifle, executing some at close range and killing adults who tried to stop the carnage, authorities said Saturday.
He forced his way into the school by breaking a window, officials said. Asked whether the children suffered, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver paused. "If so," he said, "not for very long."
An official with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press three weapons were found inside the school and fourth weapon was found outside. The murder weapon was a high-powered rifle with a high capacity, popular with law enforcement and the military.
Police shed no light on what triggered 20-year-old Adam Lanza to carry out the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, though state police Lt. Paul Vance said investigators had found "very good evidence ... that our investigators will be able to use in painting the complete picture, the how and, more importantly, the why." He would not elaborate.
Friday's massacre has elicited horror and soul-searching around the world.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says the "innocent little boys and girls" were "taken from their families far too soon."
Investigators have questioned the gunman's older brother, who's not believed to have been involved in the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary in prosperous Newtown, 60 miles northeast of New York City.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- The father of a 6-year-old girl killed in the Connecticut elementary school massacre says his deep pain is comforted by the memory of how bright, loving and creative his daughter was.
Robbie Parker says his daughter Emilie was artistic and was always quick to draw a picture or make a card for friends. He says the world is a better place because Emilie was in it.
Parker was among the first parents to speak about the loss of one of the 20 children who died in Friday's shootings in Newtown. He struggled to collect his breath at first, much less to speak. He says he's not mad and expressed sympathy for the shooter's family.
Parker says, "She was beautiful. She was blond. She was always smiling."
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Sunday in Newtown, Conn., the site of Friday's deadly elementary school shooting.
Twenty-six people, including 20 children, were killed when a man opened fire inside the school.
Hours after the shooting, a tearful Obama said he grieved first as a father. In those remarks and later in his Saturday radio address, Obama called for "meaningful action" to prevent such shootings, but did not say what it should be.
Obama's visit to Newtown for an interfaith vigil would be the fourth time he has traveled to a city after a mass shooting.
The president had planned to travel to Maine on Wednesday for an event promoting his positions in "fiscal cliff" negotiations, but the White House canceled that trip because of the shooting.
NEW YORK (AP) -- An official says the gunman in the Connecticut school shooting had Asperger's syndrome, but experts say there's no connection between the disorder and violent behavior.
Asperger's is a mild form of autism often characterized by social awkwardness.
A law enforcement official says Adam Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the unfolding investigation.
Columbus, Ohio, psychologist Eric Butter says research suggests people with autism have a higher rate of aggressive behavior than the general population. He says this includes outbursts, shoving or angry shouting, but typically does not include planned, intentional violence.
High school classmates say Lanza was bright but painfully shy, anxious and a loner. Butter says those characteristics are consistent with Asperger's.
SOUTHBURY, Conn. (AP) -- Adam Lanza had trouble relating to fellow students and teachers at Newtown High School, but that was only part of his problem. He seemed not to feel physical or emotional pain in the same way as classmates.
Richard Novia was the school district's head of security until 2008 and served as adviser for the school technology club that Adam and his older brother belonged to. The group offered students a chance to work on computers, videotape school events and produce public-access broadcasts.
Novia says Lanza clearly "had some disabilities."
He told The Associated Press that if Lanza had burned himself, he would not have felt it physically. He remembered that the boy sometimes had "an episode" and completely withdrew from whatever was happening around him.
Another acquaintance, Olivia DeVivo, who is now a student at the University of Connecticut, recalled that Lanza always came to school toting a briefcase and wearing his shirt buttoned all the way up. "He was very different and very shy and didn't make an effort to interact with anybody" in his 10th-grade English class, she said.
LONDON (AP) -- As the world joined Americans in mourning the school massacre in Connecticut, many urged U.S. politicians to honor the 28 victims, especially the children, by pushing for stronger gun control laws.
Twitter users and media personalities in the U.K. immediately invoked Dunblane -- a 1996 shooting in that small Scottish town which killed 16 children. That tragedy prompted a campaign that ultimately led to tighter gun controls effectively making it illegal to buy or possess a handgun in the U.K.
"This is America's Dunblane," British CNN host Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter. "We banned handguns in Britain after that appalling tragedy. What will the U.S. do? Inaction not an option."
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard called Friday's attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a "senseless and incomprehensible act of evil."
"Like President Obama and his fellow Americans, our hearts too are broken," Gillard said in a statement, referring to the U.S. leader's emotional expression of condolence.
Australia confronted a similar tragedy in 1996, when a man went on a shooting spree in the southern state of Tasmania, killing 35 people. The mass killing sparked outrage across the country and led the government to impose strict new gun laws, including a ban on semi-automatic rifles.
Rupert Murdoch recalled that incident in a Twitter message calling the shootings "terrible news" and asking "when will politicians find courage to ban automatic weapons? As in Oz after similar tragedy."
The mass shooting in Connecticut left 28 people dead, including 20 children. The gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, killed his mother at their home Friday before beginning his deadly rampage inside the school in Newtown, then committed suicide, police said.
Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Union's executive Commission, said: "Young lives full of hope have been destroyed. On behalf of the European Commission and on my own behalf, I want to express my sincere condolences to the families of the victims of this terrible tragedy."
British Prime Minister David Cameron, said he was "deeply saddened" to learn of the "horrific shooting."
"My thoughts are with the injured and those who have lost loved ones," he said. "It is heartbreaking to think of those who have had their children robbed from them at such a young age, when they had so much life ahead of them."
Queen Elizabeth II sent a message to President Barack Obama, saying she was shocked to learn of the "dreadful loss of life" and that the thoughts and prayers of all in the U.K. are with those affected by the events.
The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI conveyed "his heartfelt grief and the assurance of his closeness in prayer to the victims and their families, and to all those affected by the shocking event" in a condolence message to the monsignor of the diocese in Connecticut that includes Newtown.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her "deepest sympathy" is reserved for relatives of the victims.
"Once again we stand aghast at a deed that cannot be comprehended," she said in a statement. "The thought of the murdered pupils and teachers makes my heart heavy."
But amid the messages of condolences, much of the discussion after the Connecticut rampage centered on gun control -- a baffling subject for many in Asia and Europe, where mass shootings also have occurred but where access to guns is much more heavily restricted.
In messages to Obama, French President Francois Hollande said he was "horrified" by the shooting while Prince Albert II in the tiny principality of Monaco expressed sadness over the "unspeakable tragedy."
Russian leader Vladimir Putin called the events "particularly tragic" given that the majority of the victims were children. "Vladimir Putin asked Barack Obama to convey words of support and sympathy to the families and friends of the victims and expressed his empathy with the American people," the Kremlin said in a statement.
Father Giuseppe Piemontese -- an Assisi-based official of the Franciscan order, founded to further the cause of peace -- lamented that there are `'so many, too many" tragic shootings that "raise the question about the ease with which you can legally procure arms in the United States, to then use them in a murderous way."
The attack quickly dominated public discussion in China, rocketing to the top of topic lists on social media and becoming the top story on state television's main noon newscast.
China has seen several rampage attacks at schools in recent years, though the attackers there usually use knives and not guns. The most recent attack happened Friday, when a knife-wielding man injured 22 children and one adult outside a primary school in central China.
With more than 100,000 Chinese studying in U.S. schools, a sense of shared grief came through.
"Parents with children studying in the U.S. must be tense. School shootings happen often in the U.S. Can't politicians put away politics and prohibit gun sales?" Zhang Xin, a wealthy property developer, wrote on her feed on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo service, where she has 4.9 million followers.
Some in South Korea, whose government does not allow people to possess guns privately, also blamed a lack of gun control in the United States for the high number of deaths in Connecticut.
Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's top daily, speculated in an online report that it appears "inevitable" that the shooting will prompt the U.S. government to consider tighter gun control.
In Thailand, which has one of Asia's highest rates of murder by firearms and has seen schools attacked by Islamist insurgents in its southern provinces, a columnist for the English-language daily newspaper The Nation blamed American culture for fostering a climate of violence.
"Repeated incidents of gunmen killing innocent people have shocked the Americans or us, but also made most people ignore it quickly," Thanong Khanthong wrote on Twitter. "Intentionally or not, Hollywood and video games have prepared people's mind to see killings and violence as normal and acceptable," he wrote.
Condolences poured in also from Baghdad.
"We feel sorry for the victims and their families," said Hassan Sabah, 30, owner of stationary shop in eastern Baghdad. "This tragic incident shows there is no violence-free society in the world, even in Western and non-Muslim countries."
Samir Abdul-Karim, a 40-year-old government employee from eastern Baghdad said the attack "shows clearly that U.S. society is not perfect and the Americans do have people with criminal minds and who are ready to kill for the silliest reasons."
Afghan President Hamid Karzai expressed his condolences to the American nation at the start of his remarks in Kabul on Saturday about Afghanistan's foreign policy.
"Such incidents should not happen anywhere in the world," Karzai said, adding that Afghanistan frequently witnesses such tragedies and can sympathize with those affected.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed those sentiments in a letter to Obama expressing his horror at the "savage massacre," saying that his country knows the "shock and agony" such cruel acts can bring.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda sent a condolence message to Obama for the families of the victims.
"The sympathy of the Japanese people is with the American people," he said. In Japan, guns are severely restricted and there are extremely few gun-related crimes.
In the Philippines, a society often afflicted by gun violence, President Benigno Aquino III said he and the Filipino people stand beside the United States "with bowed heads, yet in deep admiration over the manner in which the American people have reached out to comfort the afflicted, and to search for answers that will give meaning and hope to this grim event."
Close to 50 people gathered Saturday on Rio de Janeiro's famous Copacabana beach to mourn the victims as part of a demonstration organized by an anti-violence group called Rio de Paz, or Rio of Peace.
Twenty-six black crosses were planted on the white sands of the beach -- one for each victim at the school. Messages of solidarity written in English hung from some the crosses.
One of them read: "In Brazil we understand the pain of senseless violence. We grieve the pain at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut."

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo President Christopher C. Dahl has announced the formation of a Geneseo National Alumni Council, which will consolidate the college's 18 regional alumni organizations into a single structure.
Dahl said that the council will be linked to the Geneseo Foundation Board and the college's other alumni and community organizations to "significantly extend the footprint of Geneseo throughout the nation."
Foundation Board Chair Jack Kramer '76 announced that John Gleason '87, a global financial services industry executive for more than 25 years, will chair the council. Serving as vice chairs are Tracie Lopardi Brown '95 from the Buffalo region; Gary Grose '87 from the Chicago region; and Bob Muller '83 from the Los Angeles region. The council will be comprised of the co-chairs from each of the regional alumni committees.
"This is the most significant development for Geneseo alumni in the college's history," said Dahl. "It will add structure to the alumni volunteer organizations across the country by developing and executing an organized program of engagement, outreach initiatives and significant work on behalf of the college."
Dahl and Kramer announced formation of the new council and Gleason's appointment prior to an alumni planning summit held on campus earlier this spring, where Geneseo graduates from around the country assembled to provide input on critical issues impacting the future direction of the college.
"With continued national recognition of Geneseo as a top-tier public liberal arts college, it is imperative that we build a corresponding national alumni organization to help the college in reinforcing Geneseo's mission," said Gleason. "I'm very excited to get the opportunity to work with Tracie, Gary and Bob in building a well-coordinated national alumni organization focused on helping the college, alumni and current students."
Kramer praised the work of the regional committees in engaging Geneseo alumni the past two years by fostering more alumni connections.
"We must continue to capture the energy these committees have created, and this new organizational framework will provide a strong structure to support the college's advancement initiatives," said Kramer.
Dahl emphasized that the national council would be connected to all of Geneseo's alumni and community organizations, including the Alumni Association of Geneseo, the Roundtable Athletic Association, and Community Advocates.
"The role of the national council is intended to supplement and enhance the good work of these other organizations," said Dahl. "It will synthesize all alumni engagement efforts. This will be an organization with a pointed purpose and an agenda of action, substance and expected outcomes."
The council evolved from an alumni engagement initiative two years ago to develop a national audience of Geneseo alumni in connection with the college's current capital campaign, Shaping Lives of Purpose: The Campaign for Geneseo. Eighteen regional committees have formed since then and 155 volunteers have been enlisted to provide regional events enabling Geneseo alumni to initiate and develop relationships with each other and the college. More than 150 events have been held and more than 11,000 alumni have attended the events, which Dahl says have generated considerable energy for the campaign.
The regional committees represent the following regions: Albany; Buffalo; Chicago; Colorado; Florida (east and west coasts); Long Island; Los Angeles; New England; New Jersey (North); New York City; North Carolina; Philadelphia/ New Jersey (South); Rochester; San Francisco; Syracuse; Westchester/Connecticut; and Washington, D.C.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ATXSHOE from Great Shoe, so comfortable!! I love this shoe. The look alone is enough. But it's comforted by the adiPrene technology and gives great heel and arch comfort. I tend to only buy slip on/off shoes since I travel so much and it makes it easier to get through security at the airport. This shoe meets all my requirements: style, comfort and practicality. A wise man once told me, "It's the smart and stylish man that wears the Fasslers". I agree.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Daniel76 from Best Shoes I've ever worn! I've had issues with my feet for a long time and have agonized over finding decent looking shoes that are comfortable and dressy. These shoes are BY FAR the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, sneakers included. I bought a pair of these at Nordstrom Rack, then proceeded to find them where ever I could online to buy an extra pair, and found them on here. I would recommend these to anyone looking for that elusive nice looking dress shoe that are as comfortable or more so than a tennis shoe.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Frequent online shopper from Overly long toe I have a few Rockport shoes, all in the same size. I made the mistake of ordering on-line and assuming that this shoe would be true to size & the same as all of my other Rockport shoes. It was not, and I was still stuck paying shipping. I will never again order from Rockport. They are nice shoes, but I don't feel it is fair when they are not consistent in their sizing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VPShoeReviewer from Excellent Shoes I bought these shoes 15 days ago and am extremely happy with the purchase. The shoes are a bit narrower at the tip compared to other Rockport loafer style, so I bought a size that was 0.5 bigger (11.5 instead of 11.0). They look great, fell great and the price was exceptionally great ($48 if I am not mistaken).

Would You Wear a Headscarf Like CariDee?
PA Photos/Landov
Summer's hot humid temperatures always spur us on to come up with creative ways to get the hair off our face. We've tried headbands, hats, a variety of clips and usually just end up resorting to boring elastics. One trick we've never tried is the full-on head wrap that CariDee English donned to stay cool at the opening of Tao Beach in Las Vegas. We think it's a little over-the-top, and the skull-print don't really help her cause. But she does look awfully cool in the scorching Vegas heat. Vote in our poll and then tell us: Would you hide your hair under a headscarf?

What are the correct Jewish procedures for finding someone to marry? Like does "dating" have any Jewish connection?

The requirement for "Shidduchei"
The Gemara (Yevamos 52a) says that "rav menagid ... demikadesh b'lo shiddhuchei", a person deserves to be whipped if he gets married in a crass, inappropriate way, without having shidduchei first. Some might interpret that to mean there has to be an official formal matchmaking document or process or something before the marriage, but what I've heard from both Rabbi Aaron Rothkoff-Rakefet and Rabbi J David Bleich is that the Gemara simply means "getting married without whatever courtship process is normal in that culture." (Rabbi Rakefet suggested, for example, meeting the prospective spouse's parents; Rabbi Bleich suggested if the couple worked together on any joint planning of the wedding, that qualifies.)
The requirement for a man to see his prospective wife before marriage
Kiddushin 41a:
The importance of loving one's spouse
The Maharik (Italy, 1400s), 166:3 was asked regarding a guy who had fallen in love with a young lady, but his father objected. Maharik observed that the mitzva of honoring parents does not apply if the parent says to go against the Torah. As one is required to love their spouse, the father's request to dump this lady and find someone else (who he wouldn't love) is of no halachic standing.
Dating for marriage, vs. for fun
Different streams of observant Jews have different senses as to how much social contact between teenagers of opposite genders is appropriate. But R' Moshe Feinstein writes that a teenage boy really shouldn't have a serious "girlfriend" if this has nothing to do whatsoever with marriage.
Hechsher mitzva
Even if something per se isn't a mitzva, if it enables a mitzva to happen, that's important too. What sort of dating could then be considered "enabling" a happy marriage? I leave that to you to decide.
So what does this all mean?
Again, the only black-and-white requirements listed are:
How does that translate into practice? In some communities, the parents arrange everything, the couple sees each other once, and if they think it works, that's it, mazeltov. In other communities, singles meet on their own, and tell their parents shortly before the official engagement. In many communities, it's somewhere in between, which can be vague.
(Note the Gemara at the end of Taanis sounds like there was a singles population that met at marriage-minded-singles events and worked it out on their own, though I recall that the (7th) Lubavitcher Rebbe zt'l interprets that Gemara non-literally, as a relationship between God and the Jews.)
Certainly if someone feels that s/he're not getting enough dating to cause the likelihood of a happy marriage, s/he should talk with his/her rabbi. Rabbi Moshe Bick wanted to require a minimum of eight dates before engagement, even in the Hassidic community. (He'd seen too many broken marriages.) Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar bristled at the idea.
Lastly, even within a community, there may not be a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yolanda Jordan* remembers the moment she decided to have sex for the first time. She was 27, fresh out of grad school, in a committed relationship—and horny. She was also raised in the Baptist church and had taken a vow of abstinence. "I was curious," says Jordan, now 34, a graphic designer in Columbus, Ohio. "My mind was telling me one thing, my body another. I was grown [and] longing to be touched. I am not perfect; I struggle with sin. I strive to live a righteous life. Just because I have a Bible on my nightstand and condoms in the drawer doesn't mean I love God any less or that He doesn't love me."
Many Christian youths who signed abstinence pledges or wore purity rings reach a crossroad as young adults. They are faced with upholding Biblical principles against sex outside of marriage during an era when the average age of first marriage creeps toward 30. Celibacy may be even tougher for singles who have splashed around in the pool of fornication long before dedicating their lives to Christ. More are asking, "Am I really condemning my soul to eternal damnation by getting my freak on Saturday night and praising the Lord on Sunday morning?" As many as 80 percent of young unmarried Christians have had sex, according to Relevant, a magazine for Christians aged 18 to 30.
Even as they uphold abstinence as ideal, religious leaders can no longer ignore the elephant in the sanctuary. From a newsletter published by pastor Creflo Dollar: "There was a time when … marriage was honored and respected ... and sexual relationships outside of marriage were certainly not accepted as the norm. However, times have changed … values have moved away from the standard of God's Word because of selfishness." Last year's Jumping the Broom, produced by Bishop T.D. Jakes, opened with Paula Patton's character regretting her decision to have casual sex the night before. The romcom portrays her finding true love and deciding with her fiancé to abstain until their wedding day. It was Jakes' decision to include the morning-after scene, Patton told The Christian Post. "We make mistakes, but the goal is to become better [people]."
But finding a Christian man who is actually willing to wait may be easier onscreen. Single father John Fitzgerald, 29, acknowledges the difficulty in putting faith before flesh and has even ended relationships because of the woman's decision to remain abstinent. "Yes, it's wrong, [but] I'm still doing it," he says. "It's something I struggle with in my personal relationship with God. People say, 'Don't make sex such a big deal,' but for a lot of people, it's a deal breaker."
Just because I have a Bible on my nightstand and condoms in the drawer doesn't mean I love God any less or that He doesn't love me.

We are not "old Black" nor "new Black" we are ALL Black.
"The Bible is clear that you should not have sex outside of marriage, but that is not the reality of what's going on," says Sophia Nelson, award-winning author of Black Woman Redefined: Dispelling Myths and Discovering Fulfillment in the Age of Michelle Obama (BenBella Books). She cites the finding that more than 50 percent of single, churchgoing women admit to having sex. With U.S. Census data showing that nearly 40 percent of Black women do not marry until age 35 and more than 45 percent of African-Americans older than 14 have never been married, Black Christians face a long road of chastity.
The shoulder of that road is cluttered with breakdowns and those who have run out of gas: Almost three quarters of Black children are born out of wedlock. "It is unrealistic in the 21st century to expect celibacy until marriage. We live in a sexualized society and [during] a time [when] people marry much later," says Nelson. She points to a double standard among Christian men—who face little judgment for indulging in pleasure and promiscuity—as a reason some sisters "pray for a husband," but find themselves over 40, celibate and bitter.
What's a sex-deprived saint to do? Teresa Jones, 38, leader of the Singles Ministry at New Birth Christian Ministries in Columbus, a divorcée who has been celibate since 2007, contends: "[Abstinence] is a struggle because we're resisting our flesh. You [must] have frank conversations with your partner. You [must] know your weaknesses."
Nelson maintains that abstinence is a personal choice. Currently in a relationship and celibate, she says Christians should not avoid intimacy for fear of breaking their vow of abstinence with God. "A lot of people take a hard-line position and won't even allow themselves to be touched," she says.
Ultimately, for many who are single and saved, the struggle then becomes where to draw the line when not going "all the way." Jones cautions Christians not to pardon their actions with the mantra that all people sin. "If you are comfortable with sinning, that's a problem. When you really love God you don't willingly do anything that would make Him upset."

For years, diet-book authors, weight-loss gurus, and talk-show hosts have proposed a dizzying array of methods for shedding pounds. There are juice fasts, raw-food programs, and hypnosis techniques; you can eat like a Frenchwoman, a caveman, or Jesus; and according to one recent book, you can even binge one day and fast the next ("Diet only half the time!"). So much for the commonsense approach. Tired of the hype, we turned to six diet experts for the real scoop. These anti-gurus have spent their careers studying what leads to real weight loss. Taking advice from experts who shun the limelight for the lab? That's a fad we can get behind.
JAMES O. HILL has studied successful dieters for 13 years to see how people lose weight—and keep it off. He is the director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver.
What's the biggest thing you've learned from successful dieters? Weight loss happens in two stages that require two different approaches. First, there's the losing stage. That's all about food restriction. Theres no particular diet that seems to be more effective than another one; it has more to do with individual preference—what you can stick with long-term. The weight-loss stage lasts an average of three to six months. We use 10 percent as a reasonable first goal. After six months, if you get there, you're a success story. If you haven't lost all the weight you want to lose in that time, you're probably not going to do it. If you still have a lot of weight to lose at that point, it's best to take several months to maintain the weight you've shed, then try another six-month diet.
Does exercise help? Exercise has many health and emotional benefits, but it doesn't make a huge difference when it comes to weight loss. You can restrict your food intake by 500 to 1,000 calories starting tomorrow, but you have to work out for a long time, or at a very high intensity, to burn as many calories.
What's the second stage? Maintenance. And that's when exercise becomes much more important. By burning a few hundred extra calories a day, you can eat a little bit more, which makes the diet tolerable and easier to maintain. Exercise helps you find a healthy balance between the calories you consume and the calories you burn. Successful dieters typically exercise a lot—60 to 90 minutes a day. That's not just a short walk. They really prioritize daily, vigorous physical activity.
Are there other habits of successful dieters? They tend to weigh themselves regularly to stay on track. The scale has been vilified, but it helps you stay focused. They also keep food diaries or count calories. And they are seven-day-a-week breakfast eaters. Eating a meal first thing in the day seems to help people manage hunger better. The typical pattern of obese people is to skip breakfast, have a light lunch, and eat a lot from late afternoon on.

As has been well documented, the Galaxy S phones have terrible GPS functionality. It works for a minority, but it is slow/inaccurate for some and for others it just doesn't work at all. How can I fix this?
Four ways: Upgrading the software, fixing the hardware, resetting the GPS settings/data, and using "fake" GPS.
Upgrading the Software
You can also try flashing 2.3 GPS code (see this XDA thread). Apparently it's the best yet, and should work with any ROM.
Summary: Gingerbread great, Froyo good, Eclair bad.
Note: A minority of users have worse GPS performance after upgrading to Froyo. If you have the very latest Froyo update and this is true for you, I believe you can fix it by continuing with the other steps below (or the 2.3 GPS code above). You probably have bad GPS data and settings left over from Eclair, or perhaps it's just that your phone has been "cold started" and the GPS needs to collect some information about the nearby satellites first.
Fixing the Hardware
A major problem for many users is, yes, a hardware problem -- but not a GPS chip issue as some have claimed. I was reluctant to accept this myself, but after trying everything else I finally resorted to this fix, and it worked! The hardware has apparently been fixed in newer device versions, so if you bought your phone after October 2010 I recommend trying the other steps before doing this. But the good news is that it's easy to do. There's a detailed guide on XDA; here is the quick version:
Fixing the Hardware (2nd option)
There are 2 different methods which both require soldering skill but are said to significantly improve the GPS signal. Read more, see photos and a step by step guide on XDA.
Reset the GPS Data and Settings
I recommend only trying the following if your GPS is still slow or doesn't work after trying everything else; in most situations the default server is fine.
Using "Fake" GPS
Note: This might make things worse in situations where the phone relies on the inaccurate aGPS more than the "real" GPS. Experiment with and without it.
And that's it! I hope this guide works for you and you enjoy your newly functional GPS.
There is a simple guide of the hardware fix on xda-developers, which doesn't require you to remove any screws. It worked surprisingly well on my Galaxy S.
The trick is to increase the pressure of the GPS antenna connector by placing a small stripe of tape above the connector. The guide on XDA has some nice pictures and instructions, definitely worth reading.
I have several bluetooth-GPS adapters that I use with all of my devices when I need a superb signal because a specialiced receiver is almost always superior to a smartphone's internal GPS (due to integration constraints).
See a more generic question/answer here: What can I do when my GPS doesn't work (or if my tablet doesn't have GPS)?

Why Screen for Colorectal Cancer?
It's the second most common cause of death from cancer in the US—and one of the few preventable cancers
A muscular tube about 5 feet long, the colon is the first and longest part of the large intestine. It functions as a food processor, breaking food down into energy. A typical colorectal tumor starts as a polyp growing in the lining of the colon or rectum, and usually develops slowly over a period of 10-15 years.
What are the symptoms?
Early colorectal cancer often has no symptoms, which is why screening is so important. If a polyp is not detected and removed early it can grow and cause bleeding or obstruction of the intestine. Warning signs include rectal bleeding, altered stool shape or dark/black stools, lower abdominal pain/cramps, or unintentional weight loss.
Who should have a colorectal cancer screening?
The American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology, and the US Multi-Society Task Force on colorectal cancer recommend preventative screening to detect precancerous polyps and early cancers. Your doctor can help you decide when you should be screened, and which screening test to have. Screening is generally recommended for
- Anyone with a personal history of: colon polyps, colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (a long-term disease of the intestines, diagnosed by a doctor)
- Anyone with a family history of: colon polyps, colon cancer
- Anyone who is at least 50 years old
What are some options for colorectal cancer screening?
- Colonoscopy In this test, the rectum and entire colon are examined using a lighted instrument called a colonoscope. During colonoscopy, precancerous and cancerous growths throughout the colon can be found and either removed or biopsied, including growths in the upper part of the colon, where they would be missed by sigmoidoscopy; every 10 years
- Sigmoidoscopy In this test, the rectum and lower colon are examined using a lighted instrument called a sigmoidoscope; every five years
- Virtual colonoscopy (also called computerized tomographic colonography)—In this test, special x-ray equipment is used to produce pictures of the colon and rectum; every 10 years
- Double contrast barium enema (DCBE) In this test, a series of x-rays of the entire colon and rectum are taken after the patient is given an enema with a barium solution and air is introduced into the colon; every 5 years
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) This test checks for hidden blood in fecal material stool sample; every year
How can I help prevent colon cancer?
- Regular screening
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Be physically active
- Eat a healthy diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits
- Limit alcohol
- If you smoke, STOP smoking.

Has anybody in any version of the game ever give the board an ultimatum and not got the sack? I haven't!
Has anybody in any version of the game ever give the board an ultimatum and not got the sack? I haven't!
On FM 10 I was managing Manchester United around 7 seasons in. I was winning everything and had "Untouchable" as my job status. I needed a small amount of money to buy a player so I went to the board. They said no, I gave an ultimatum and then they said yes.
ive had it this version and last.
Once on FM10
Took Worcester City to the prem and wanted them to expand our stadium. They said no so i put in an Ultimatum, i didnt get the sack but cant remember if they actually did expand the stadium.
Once in my offline FM07 career, has cost me many jobs over the years/
I've never used it, never felt the need to.
No I'm a good manager:P.
Nah im kidding i've never used just because never been in a situation where i needed something that badly
Lets just say I've received a many P45.
I did with Billericay Town on my long running CM01/02 save.
Bristol City on FM2007. I did it just to see what would happen. Wound up in Spain a week later..LOL
I did once back in an older version of the game, not sure which though. I gave an ultimatum, they still refused to give in to my demands but they didn't sack me because of my good record.
I give ultimatums all the time usualy successfully in my save as Dover Ath. Its probably due to having a very secure job position and the high increase in reputation of the club since Ive been there. In the prem the last few seasons the board seem to except my demands for constant improvements of training and youth set up. I had a Turkish sugardaddy take over the club whilst in league 1 and he is now pumping in £50mil per season to prevent bankrupcy. I checked his stats and he has 20/20 for business and finances. He also only has 3 in patients which means if it was for my standing at the club I may have got sacked demanding ultimatiums.
Also when players ask to move to bigger club or want more money, I tell them who is boss and not a single player has not backed down from his demands. They also have "pleased with previous conversation" PR ater each talk.
Not since CM. I don't dare take the risks these days.
FM07 or 08 I think. To be honest the board are so unwilling to shift on any matters whatsoever these days that an ultimatum is pointless.
I wish there was an option to say "sell my star player from under my nose for peanuts again and I'm gone". Rather than "please improve the youth facilities"
can you give them in fm 2011 i can't seem to find how to do it
I've used it 3 times on this FM and twice been granted what I wanted. The other time I had to quickly apologise before I lost my job!
Never. Sacked 100% of the time no matter how much of a legend I am. Thankfully I save the game first every time but it's really disappointing when you take a club up 5 leagues to ultimate glory on a conference budget and they just tell you to **** off because you want the club to have better facilities. I'm only trying to take the club forward after all!
It would be nice if your popularity with the fans came into it as well.
I've used it twice, worked first time, didn't the second and i have never had the need to since.
I've only issued one ultimatum that I can remember, and even then it was mostly just an experiment to see if I could get away with it. I didn't.
Just used one to success
Having sold out season tickets for the past two seasons, my board were still refusing to build a new stadium (max capacity at the current stadium), so I issued them a warning that I would leave unless they built a new one.
They'll finish planning it in about 10 months.
Yes numerous time. although it do have risk.
But if you think you are correct in every way, board will just tell they are unable due to some reason (financially or city council).
I just tried.
I'm bromely, we are in the champions league, we have 25 million in the bank, I have been at the club 10 years, my job is ranked 84% untouchable, I wanted to upgrade the training facilites which are rated only adequate, and they sacked me, no questions asked. They give no reason why they wouldnt.
Its basically the quit job button.
I have succeeded in older ones possibly no recent than fm2008, but after that I havent.
I'm reloading.

A PagingToolbar is not associated with a component, it only needs to knows the store.
ListView doesn't have a bbar property, so you should put the ListView inside a Panel with layout:'fit' and set the bbar property of the Panel to the PagingToolbar instance.

Looking at https://developers.facebook.com/policy/credits/ I understand:
- I am not permitted to sell tangible goods (any good that is physically delivered) using Facebook Payments.
- I am permitted to sell in-game digital goods such as weapons. For example, if I were a photographer, could I create a Facebook app that showed low-resolution versions of photos but then use Facebook Payments to sell downloads of the high-resolution versions of those photos from within the app?

Bank of America dropped its proposed debit card fee on Tuesday in response to a near tidal wave of consumer anger.
"We have listened to our customers very closely over the last few weeks and recognize their concern with our proposed debit usage fee," said David Darnell, co-chief operating officer. "Our customers' voices are most important to us. As a result, we are not currently charging the fee and will not be moving forward with any additional plans to do so."
The North Carolina-based bank had informed its customers last month that it would start charging a debit card usage fee of $5 a month when customers used their cards for point-of-sale transactions. The fee, which was supposed to go into effect in December, was being initiated in response to new restrictions on so-called "interchange" fees that banks charge merchants when consumers use plastic to pay for a purchase. In the past, those interchange fees were so lucrative that banks basically bribed their customers to use debit cards instead of cash.
In fact, that may be why the consumer anger was so acute when BofA announced this move, says Alex Matjanec, co-founder of MyBankTracker, a bank comparison and review site.
"Debit cards became part of our lifestyle," he says. "We all bought into this cashless society, where you use your debit card instead of cash. So people looked at this and said there's no way I can avoid this fee."
BofA was not the only big bank to drop plans for new consumer charges. JP Morgan Chase just dropped plans to test a $15 monthly checking account fee, while Wells Fargo, SunTrust, and Regions Bank all backed away from "tests" that imposed monthly fees for debit purchases too.
"The public backlash over debit card fees should serve as a big wake up call to banks that they can't take their customers for granted," said Pamela Banks, senior policy counsel for Consumers Union. "Consumers should be on the lookout for new fees and remember that if they're not happy with how they are being treated, they should shop around for a bank or credit union for a better deal."
Consumers Union developed a set of tips to help guide consumers interested in switching their accounts to a new financial institution. The tips along with a "How-To Change Banks" video is available at www.DefendYourDollars.org. In addition, several consumer groups have been promoting "Bank Transfer Day" this Saturday, Nov. 5. The idea was to have consumers close their accounts at big banks in droves, both to make a point and to start doing business with lower-cost community banks and credit unions.
"Consumers feel empowered," says Matjanec. But they need to remain vigilant, he says.
Banks have been changing other checking account rules in ways that could easily lead to paying more for banking services, he says. While less high-profile than a simple debit usage fee, many banks have boosted their "minimum balance requirements" to maintain free checking accounts, he says. For those who don't maintain an adequate balance, that could prove far more costly than the $60 annual debit usage fee. You need to read your statements carefully and make sure you either follow your bank's new rules, or find a bank that works better with yours.
