What is the probability that a number and its digit reversal are relatively prime in base b?
There is some relevant discussion here:
The natural conjecture (stated by someone in @optima's suggested discussion) is that except for the "bad primes" (divisibility by which is "palindromic") the answer should be the "usual" $6/\pi^2.$ For $b=10$ $11$ and $3$ are bad primes, though it is not obvious that there are not others. I am not sure why @optima's answer gets negative feedback, since the discussion is quite relevant, and people there have done numerical experiments consistent with the natural conjecture.
I think there are bases $b$ where the probability becomes arbitrarily low. Let $b$ be the product of the first $n$ primes plus one then the difference of $b$ and its palindrome will be divisible by $b-1$ and for them to be relatively prime neither can be divided by the first $n$ primes. So if $n$ is chosen large enough the probability can be made arbitrarily low.

"Spice" refers to a wide variety of herbal mixtures that produce experiences similar to marijuana (cannabis) and that are marketed as "safe," legal alternatives to that drug. Sold under many names, including K2, fake weed, Yucatan Fire, Skunk, Moon Rocks, and others – and labeled "not for human consumption" – these products contain dried, shredded plant material and chemical additives that are responsible for their psychoactive (mind-altering) effects.
Labels on Spice products often claim that they contain "natural" psycho-active material taken from a variety of plants. Spice products do contain dried plant material, but chemical analyses show that their active ingredients are synthetic (or designer) cannabinoid compounds.
For several years, Spice mixtures have been easy to purchase in head shops and gas stations and via the Internet. Because the chemicals used in Spice have a high potential for abuse and no medical benefit, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has designated the five active chemicals most frequently found in Spice as Schedule I controlled substances, making it illegal to sell, buy, or possess them. Manufacturers of Spice products attempt to evade these legal restrictions by substituting different chemicals in their mixtures, while the DEA continues to monitor the situation and evaluate the need for updating the list of banned cannabinoids.
Spice products are popular among young people; of the illicit drugs most used by high-school seniors, they are second only to marijuana. (They are more popular among boys than girls — in 2012, nearly twice as many male 12th graders reported past-year use of synthetic marijuana as females in the same age group.) Easy access and the misperception that Spice products are "natural" and therefore harmless have likely contributed to their popularity. Another selling point is that the chemicals used in Spice are not easily detected in standard drug tests.

KINGSTON – This spice is dangerous and 500 times stronger than marijuana. It's a synthetic drug that can be found at most any variety store.
There's no overstating the fact, Rep. Tom Calter, D-Kingston, said, that South Shore communities are under attack due to the use of several kinds of illicit drugs and prescription drugs in medicine cabinets falling into the wrong hands.
Gummy bears soaked in alcohol were a reality in one town he represents, Calter told selectmen Tuesday night. He represents six towns and has visited them all to talk about the drug problem.
"It's becoming more problematic than I've ever seen in my life," he said.
Calter requested that selectmen ask the Board of Health to pass a regulation banning the sale of spice, referred to as synthetic marijuana, at variety stores that also sell food. He said the Legislature can't regulate the sale of spice products off the shelves because it's not intended to be inhaled. Selectmen are in favor of recommending that the Board of Health adopt such regulation.
Calter said he has spoken with many experts and read up on all kinds of studies, including learning that for eighth-graders spice is the most used drug behind marijuana and other inhalants.
The hallucinogenic states these drugs cause change lives, he said. The most commonly discussed drug flooding the streets in local communities is heroin. Calter said spice can be a pathway to opiates and then to heroin, a relatively inexpensive drug.
In 2012, 138 Kingston residents were hospitalized for alcohol or drug abuse, with 59 percent of these resident under the age of 29 and 45 percent overdosing from heroin, Calter said.
"What's scary is that DPH (the state Department of Public Health) tells us that 50 percent of all people that try heroin will die from heroin overdose," he said.
The drug Narcan can be used to save lives.
Calter requested that Kingston consider having its emergency medical responders be trained in the use of Narcan. Selectman Susan Munford, a police sergeant, suggested that police officers should also be trained in how to use it.
A 2-milliliter dose of Narcan sprayed up the nostrils can instantly counteract an overdose. The drug can also be administered intravenously.
Calter said resources, training and education are key to addressing this out-of-control problem on the South Shore. He encourages parents to open a line of communication with their children about the dangers of drugs.
He hosted a drug forum for parents at Silver Lake Regional High School in October and will host another one, which will be open to Kingston residents, at Plymouth North High School from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 1.

6 Places That Are Shockingly Easy to Break Into
You know from many a caper movie that there are just some places you can't get into without a team of hackers and George Clooney. But some of the most secure locations in the world have been breached by children, drunks and hobos who didn't even necessarily know where they were or what day it was.
It turns out that the only thing keeping most of these places safe is that not a lot of people actually try to get in. When they do, they find it's not all that hard to infiltrate ...
#6. The White House
If you were asked to name the most secure location on planet Earth, you'd probably guess that it's the home of the President of the United States. We mean, it's got to be that or Area 51, right?
Actually, people manage to infiltrate the White House all the damn time. It's a long-standing tradition of terrifying security breaches that started when Charles Dickens (yes, that Charles Dickens) broke into the White House in 1842 when President Tyler failed to answer the door fast enough.
"It was the best of times and the worst of security systems."
Naturally, after three presidents were assassinated between 1865 and 1901, security was elevated quite a bit. But a hell of a lot of people pass through the White House, and the CIA doesn't necessarily have the time or manpower to keep an eye on every one of them. The historian Bill Bryson told a tale of a little old lady named Julia Chase who once broke away from a White House tour group and walked around the mansion for over an hour, "setting small fires."
"I like to imagine I'm freeing the souls of wronged children."
But the latest national crisis to spawn from some random White House intrusion was in 2009, at a state dinner for the Prime Minister of India. Tareq and Michaele Salahi were not invited to the event, but nonetheless they showed up anyway, walking past two security checkpoints due to the insistence of police officers outside to keep the line moving. Once inside, a few suspicious workers tried to confirm who they were, but to no avail, and the couple managed to spend the evening at the gala, even meeting Barack Obama and having a photo taken with Joe Biden.
Via Thehollywoodgossip.com
lol OMG ur dress iz sooooo pretyt lol!!!!!!1
White House security wasn't aware of the intrusion until the next day, when the Salahis bragged about their stunt on Facebook. It just goes to show that although the Secret Service may slip up once in a while, Mark Zuckerberg is always watching.
#5. Nuclear Power Plants
One important lesson we learned from Japan earlier this year is that it's easy to forget how terrifying nuclear power plants are when they're not melting down. Nuclear plants have to be designed with all kinds of safety precautions to prevent them from converting a hundred square miles of country into a place where you could film a fake moon landing. So we're definitely safe from anyone crazy enough to want to blow one up, right? Sure. Unless they have wire cutters!
The only thing that separates this man from a supervillain is a short drive and some elbow grease.
In 2003, Greenpeace decided to break into the Sizewell B nuclear plant in England, just to see if they could do it. They came armed only with dreadlocks, tie-dyed T-shirts and wire cutters, the only tools they figured would release an acceptable level of carbon emissions. Luckily for them (but not so much for us), the most high-tech security system they came up against was a fence and a sign asking them to please not come in and blow up the power plant.
A very short time later, the activists were in the central control room of the plant, looking at a whole bunch of big red buttons with "For the love of God do not ever push" written on them.
"Damnit, now I have to push it!"
But surely this was just a freak event that could never, ever happen again, right? Greenpeace decided to test this theory in 2010 when they tried to break into a nuclear plant in Sweden. Once again, they just jumped a fence, and they were inside. It's just pure luck that, rather than a bunch of terrorists with suitcase bombs, they were hippies in stupid-looking wind turbine costumes who were only there to yell at people.

Yep, we view this person with total, unwavering seriousness.
#4. The Louvre
When you imagine what Wikipedia calls "the greatest art theft of the 20th century," you're probably envisioning some amazing Ocean's Eleven-style caper. In reality, the true story of the guy who stole the freaking Mona Lisa from the Louvre makes it sound like you or any of your friends could have done it.
Via Wikimedia Commons
Depending on the manliness of your mustaches.
In 1911, an ordinary Italian carpenter named Vincenzo Peruggia hatched a plot to steal the world's most famous work of art from the world's most famous art museum. And by "plot," we mean that he hid in a storeroom until the Louvre was closed and stuffed the Mona Lisa under his shirt. Then he walked out.
The numerous guards he passed on the way out figured that he was an employee, and thought nothing of the oddly square bulge in his clothing.
"Sweet necklace, bro."
When the theft had been discovered, the Louvre authorities had no idea it had just been smuggled out by some random douche. In fact, they suspected some kind of conspiratorial shenanigans. One theory was that Germany had orchestrated the heist in an elaborate "up yours" to France. Hundreds of people were questioned, including Pablo Picasso, who apparently had some kind of major beef against anatomically accurate portraits.
Via Wikimedia Commons
"You call that a portrait, da Vinci? Come back when you have the syphilis needed to make real art."
In any event, it was with a pretty heavy heart that the Mona Lisa was assumed lost forever. That is, until the thief tried to sell it. That's right, the master criminal who managed to pull the world's greatest art heist was the kind of genius who thought he could just sell the Mona Lisa without anybody getting suspicious about where he had gotten it.

Next: Line Formats, Up: If-then-else
Line group formats let you specify formats suitable for many applications that allow if-then-else input, including programming languages and text formatting languages. A line group format specifies the output format for a contiguous group of similar lines.
For example, the following command compares the TeX files old and new, and outputs a merged file in which old regions are surrounded by '\begin{em}'-'\end{em}' lines, and new regions are surrounded by '\begin{bf}'-'\end{bf}' lines.
diff \ --old-group-format='\begin{em} %<\end{em} ' \ --new-group-format='\begin{bf} %>\end{bf} ' \ old new
The following command is equivalent to the above example, but it is a little more verbose, because it spells out the default line group formats.
diff \ --old-group-format='\begin{em} %<\end{em} ' \ --new-group-format='\begin{bf} %>\end{bf} ' \ --unchanged-group-format='%=' \ --changed-group-format='\begin{em} %<\end{em} \begin{bf} %>\end{bf} ' \ old new
Here is a more advanced example, which outputs a diff listing with headers containing line numbers in a "plain English" style.
diff \ --unchanged-group-format='' \ --old-group-format='-------- %dn line%(n=1?:s) deleted at %df: %<' \ --new-group-format='-------- %dN line%(N=1?:s) added after %de: %>' \ --changed-group-format='-------- %dn line%(n=1?:s) changed at %df: %<-------- to: %>' \ old new
To specify a line group format, use diff with one of the options listed below. You can specify up to four line group formats, one for each kind of line group. You should quote format, because it typically contains shell metacharacters.
In a line group format, ordinary characters represent themselves; conversion specifications start with '%' and have one of the following forms.
printf conversion specification and n is one
of the following letters, stands for n's value formatted with F.
printf conversion specification can be '%d',
'%o', '%x', or '%X', specifying decimal, octal,
lower case hexadecimal, or upper case hexadecimal output
respectively. After the '%' the following options can appear in
sequence: a series of zero or more flags; an integer
specifying the minimum field width; and a period followed by an
optional integer specifying the minimum number of digits.
The flags are '-' for left-justification, ''' for separating
the digit into groups as specified by the LC_NUMERIC locale category,
and '0' for padding with zeros instead of spaces.
For example, '%5dN' prints the number of new lines in the group
in a field of width 5 characters, using the
printf format
For example, '%(N=0?no:%dN) line%(N=1?:s)' is equivalent to 'no lines' if N (the number of lines in the group in the new file) is 0, to '1 line' if N is 1, and to '%dN lines' otherwise.

Police find moonshine, still, marijuana in Sunny View
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.
A Mill Spring man was arrested and charged with drug and alcohol offenses Tuesday when the Polk County Sheriff's Narcotics Unit discovered a moonshine still, non-taxed liquor and marijuana plants at his home in the Sunny View community.
Following a lead, deputies arrived at the home at 11 a.m. to serve a search warrant when they noticed a still, used to manufacture moonshine, on the property.
Joshua Ruff, 25, of 1536 Owl Hollow Road, was charged with felony manufacturing marijuana, felony maintaining a dwelling for a schedule VI controlled substance, misdemeanor drug paraphernalia, manufacturing non-tax-paid liquor, and possession of non-tax-paid liquor.
Ruff was given a $5,000 secured bond and has since been released on bail pending trial.
Deputies confiscated the still, non-taxed liquor and marijuana plants from the home. The items will be destroyed following the disposition of the case in the courts, according to a news release from the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
The Narcotics Unit was assisted by officers from Tryon Police Department, the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement Agency, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations.

Past tax conferences held under its ambit have consistently stimulated important and influential conversations. "Academics have time to think imaginatively about what's not in current law, and the system needs that," says Tax Analysts Contributing Editor Lee Sheppard, a regular attendee. "Conferences can generate ideas that are later enacted in some form."
Highlights of this year's meeting included a presentation from Dean Schizer and Yale Law Professor Thomas Merrill, who outlined their proposal for a gasoline tax designed to promote conservation in a way that is politically palatable—a combination that has so far eluded every other oil levy. Columbia Law School professor-to-be Michael Graetz explained his proposal to scale back both the individual and the corporate income tax in exchange for a value-added tax, a change that would bring the U.S. into harmony with much of the rest of the world. Ed Kleinbard, head of Congress' Joint Tax Committee—the staff of professionals who advise lawmakers on the cost and policy implications of various provisions—offered a new approach to analyzing the salience and costliness of non-tax policy provisions within the tax law. Conference organizer and Law School Professor Alex Raskolnikov led a spirited discussion about IRS enforcement in which former Commissioner Fred Goldberg insisted that the IRS is much less subject to influence than other agencies, in particular the Justice Department of the last administration.
As always, the Law School event drew a rich mix of attendees, including policymakers like Kleinbard, practitioners from major law firms in the U.S. and abroad, and academics from schools including Harvard and Yale. Many attendees came in part to celebrate the distinguished career of conference honoree Willard Taylor, who recently retired after 40 years with Sullivan & Cromwell. All were eager to hear new ideas that may become reality sooner rather than later, given the Obama administration's mandate for change. "It's going to be jump ball in tax policy for the next four years," former Commissioner Goldberg told attendees.

All Strings Attached
San Francisco
The 19-member, San Francisco-based New Century Chamber Orchestra started a tour of nine Southern and Midwestern cities on Friday—its third national tour since 2011. Almost every classical-musical group that can manage it, from large symphonies to small chamber ensembles, tours. But the NCCO is different.
It is one of very few all-string orchestras in the U.S., although on occasion it will hire a guest to sing or add a new musical sound. Its nearest counterpart is Boston's A Far Cry, a small, exciting, widely touring and rigorously democratic string band that also imports outsiders on occasion. But the most often-noted difference between the NCCO (founded in 1992) and other U.S. chamber orchestras is that it has had, since 2008, a world-famous violinist as its concertmaster and artistic director.
Back home in New York, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, 52, is choosing the repertory, inviting visiting soloists and commissioning new works. At rehearsals and performances (when she is not playing soloist), she sits in the concertmaster's chair—a pretend-first among equals—and encourages her partners with her eyebrows, lips and chin, her shoulders and elbows, her nods and knees and toes and torso-swings, her grins and her frowns—and her own soulful, aggressive performances. Audiences often feel deprived if at least one of the works on a program doesn't feature the lithe, attractive concertmaster, an alternately fiery and sensitive violin soloist standing, swaying and dancing up front, as she has done since 1981 and continues to do, away from the NCCO, with many other orchestras each year.
Ms. Salerno-Sonnenberg, who came to the U.S. from Italy at age 8, had become by 20 the youngest winner of the Naumburg International Violin Competition. She made her Carnegie Hall debut a few months later in a passionate version of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, captivating audiences and dividing critics with her eccentric, heartfelt interpretations and expressive facial and physical gestures. A major celebrity by the 1990s, she was impressed by the intimate and relatively ego-free world of chamber music—which she joined in earnest five years ago, as the winner among 100 candidates in the NCCO's two-year search for a new leader—while maintaining her solo career.
After talking twice with its vibrant director, I got in touch with six of the NCCO's players.
Associate concertmaster Dawn Harms has to juggle her position here with one in the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. She sits alongside the director and shares scores with her. "Being Nadja's right-hand woman, I have to not only play my part, but try to be the liaison between her and the orchestra. I interpret what Nadja wants and help with signals and body language, passing it along to the others. It is like a tennis game to me. You never know where the ball will be hit, but you have to be ready to run and hit it back, no matter where it lands."
Violist Kurt Rohde is an active composer on the Stanford music faculty: "Playing with NCCO is dynamic, not unlike siblings in a family. Since I have known many of the members of the group for the full time I have been in NCCO [17 years], we have spent a lot of time together and become quite close. I think a certain type of trust develops as a result, and you are willing to give your all in performance and take risks with these players you would otherwise not take in any other performance situation."
Bassist Tony Manzo, who also plays for the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, and is missing the NCCO's January tour in order to participate in the NSO's European engagements, says that "Nadja brings energy and commitment by the bucketful, and in addition serves as an incredible multiplying factor for all that energy flowing out of the group."
Cellist Michelle Djokic used to play with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. "At times I feel that with a conductor on the podium the performers become somewhat less invested, since someone else is making the musical decisions for them. I only ever want to make music with every part of my being. I feel so much more rewarded when making music with colleagues who are similarly invested. . . . Nadja is a force of nature, truly unique."
"Her energy level and excitement are so New York!" says violist Anna Kruger. "She's the boss, but she listens to everyone. After all, we've been going 20 years; she's never led an orchestra before. She's as eager to learn from us as we are from her."
Susan Babini (now principal cellist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, which did give her time off for the January tour) agrees. "The most striking aspect of working with Nadja and everyone else in New Century is the energy! There is nothing else like it. Nadja always leads our interpretations as music director, but she is such a sensitive musician that she picks up on what we are giving back and responds accordingly. It's a dance, really.
"I've never played with a group that has such a distinct 'musical fingerprint' as New Century. I think it's part of what attracted Nadja to us in the first place (there is no other violinist as unique as Nadja), and she absolutely brings that out in all of us."
If you don't live near or visit the Bay Area at the right times this year, or one of the cities on the NCCO's tours, at least consider buying "Live" (2010), the chamber orchestra's second CD together with its new director, which features two profoundly moving works from the tour— Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen for 23 Strings" (its best single group performance, in which every player is a virtuoso) and Samuel Barber's elegiac "Adagio for Strings," as well as Gustav Mahler's short, tender Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony. The Strauss alone justifies the existence of a string orchestra.
Or carry it further and get "On Our Way: The Journey of Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and the New Century Chamber Orchestra," a DVD that tells the current NCCO story around interviews, a bus tour, rehearsals for and complete performances of three of their other touring hits, notably one by Ástor Piazzolla. Here you can watch Ms. Salerno-Sonnenberg, in a sleeveless black top and sparkling pants, dancing and smiling her way through Piazzolla's "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," the orchestra one with her all the way. She hurls herself into the rapid tangolike passages, sawing, smacking, plucking, hopping over the violin strings until they seem to burst into flame.
Mr. Littlejohn writes about West Coast cultural events for the Journal.

- Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups bottled marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free egg substitute, or 3 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup skim or low-fat milk
- 3 1/4 cups corn flakes

- Rinse the zucchini, pat dry, and trim and discard the ends. Quarter each zucchini lengthwise; then cut each piece in half crosswise. You should now have 32 zucchini fingers, each about 31/2 inches long.
- To make the batter, place all of the batter ingredients in a shallow dish, and stir with a wire whisk to mix well. Set aside.
- To make the coating, place the corn flakes in a food processor or blender, and process into crumbs. (You should have about 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of crumbs. Adjust the amount if necessary.) Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish, and stir in the remaining coating ingredients. Set aside.
- Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Dip the zucchini fingers, 1 at a time, first in the batter and then in the crumb coating mixture, turning to coat all sides. Arrange the zucchini fingers in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
- Spray the zucchini fingers lightly with the cooking spray, and bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until the zucchini is golden brown and crisp.
- While the zucchini is baking, place the sauce in a small pot and cook over medium heat until heated through. Arrange the zucchini on a serving platter, and serve hot, accompanied by the bowl of hot sauce.

I need information about which applications or hardware features discharge the battery. Built-in Android option for this doesn't fit because not all devices have it. Also it would be a great advantage if the solution would send statistics via email.
You could take a look at SystemPanel1 or System Tuner2. Both let you monitor your ressource consumption (not only battery), and (at least in their respective Pro versions) also offer to do so in background, collecting data for later evaluation. System Tuner2 also offers a bunch of nice widgets3 for your homescreen, if you need to watch things for a while.
After seeing Mihic's comment above, I noticed I missed another important point: While up to Froyo, "dialing" the magic number
These two screenshots show you the most important information BetterBatteryStats provides: Which apps used the most battery power while the device tried to sleep3 -- and those who kept the device awake4, preventing DeepSleep and such "PowerSave Mode". Just helped me getting 20% more battery out of my device ;)

In the book Genesis, Isaac is talking to his son Esau: "And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:"
Thousands of years laters, none of us do.
You would think after what happened in January we would get it.
But, life goes on and we continue to let life get in the way of life.
We move on with our daily work schedules, practice schedules and busy lives and just forget how precious life really is.
Those of us who were not involved, forget about the accident, the fire and settle back into our comfortable ways.
It gets to a point where it is no longer about the other person, it is all about us.
It is about that AAU game and how minutes were too few, or how about that vacation is more important than a commitment, or how about missing that 7-on-7 is really not a big deal.
It is about that phone call to work to call off because a three-day weekend is staring you in the face and those at work "can deal with it."
We forget about what happened in Aurora, Colo., and move on, playing with our new cell phones, ithis or ithat.
And, really, all of that is understandable.
After all, our nature is selfish to begin with.
We like things about "me."
We know there's no "I" in team but there is an "m" and an "e."
Then, Sunday morning came.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, was found dead Sunday morning in his room at the club's training camp at Lehigh University. He was 29.
The police chief at Lehigh, Edward Shupp, said a 911 call was made at 7:20 a.m., and that Garrett Reid was dead when a policeman arrived at the campus dormitory. A cause of death has not been determined.
"There were no suspicious activities," Shupp said.
COLUMBUS - Columbus Crew midfielder Kirk Urso died Sunday morning at a central Ohio hospital, and no cause of death has been determined, a county coroner said.
Urso, 22, was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Franklin County Coroner Dr. Jan Gorniak said. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
And, this:
Police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but did not provide any details about the gunman or suggest a possible motive. Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards did not say whether he specifically targeted the Sikh community.
During a chaotic few hours after the first shots were fired, police in tactical gear and carrying assault rifles surrounded the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin with armored vehicles and ambulances. Witnesses struggled with unrealized fears that several shooters were holding women and children hostage inside.
CRANBERRY, Pa. - State police in western Pennsylvania say a two-vehicle crash killed three people overnight.
Police in Venango County said a car heading west on Route 157 in Cranberry Township veered off the road at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday.
The car then slid into the oncoming lane where it was hit by an eastbound sport utility vehicle.
LONG POND, Pa. - A lightning strike in the parking lot at Pocono Raceway after a NASCAR race Sunday killed one person and injured nine others, racetrack officials said.
It wasn't immediately clear if all 10 people were actually struck by lightning in the parking lot behind the grandstand, nor was it known whether one or multiple strikes occurred.
Two people were taken to the hospital in critical condition after the strike, racetrack officials said. President Brandon Igdalsky said one of them later died at Pocono Medical Center, but he provided no further details.
"Unfortunately, a member of our raceway family here, a fan, has passed away," he said.
I get why and how we slide into our daily routine, getting upset at traffic, people who just don't get it and everything else our lives revolve around.
I understand teenagers whining about too much homework, that 6 a.m. alarm for practice or the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift.
We all do it. We dwell way too much on any negative and just about refuse to see any positive.
At some point in time we all just need to look around and count our blessings and be thankful for them and do so daily.
I am just as guilty as the next person.
After all, we are blessed far more than we deserve.

"I am very proud to be a Kentuckian," said Judd, "and, of the many things my Creator has seen fit to allow me to accomplish, being an eastern Kentuckian, is the simple fact that brings me the most honor, the greatest sense of self, I love and am proud of being a hillbilly."
Ashley Judd tells the White House Press Club mountaintop removal is destroying the Appalachian mountains she loves. "And it gets bigger with every Appalachian mountaintop that is blown up, every holler that is filled, every stream that is buried, every wild thing that is wantonly and recklessly killed, every ecosystem that is diminished, every job that is lost to mechanization, every family that is pitted one against the other by the state-sanctioned, federal government-supported coal industry-operated rape of Appalachia: mountaintop removal coal mining."
"Ashley Judd is an egotistical brat from California," said Wayne T. Rutherford, Pike County Judge-Executive, "who doesn't understand the culture, the heritage of what she calls hillbillies, and we're proud to be hillbillies."
Judd calls mountaintop removal environmental genocide, and accuses coal companies of spreading "propaganda" to show reclaimed mine sites are good for the area, and mentions development on some sites like the Federal Penitentiary in Martin County and the Stonecrest Golf Course in Floyd County.
"On another site they built a golf course," said Judd. "I'm not too keen on reinforcing stereotypes about my people, but I don't know a lot of hillbillies who golf."
"I'm a hillbilly, and I love to play golf," said Senator Johnny Ray Turner of Floyd County.
Stonecrest officials say 26,000 rounds of golf were played there last year, and they bring in $1-million of revenue per year.
"I think the statements she made are off base," said Turner, "and I'm not trying to bash her, but I think mountaintop removal has been good for eastern Kentucky and the economy in eastern Kentucky."
Said Rutherford, "She doesn't realized it when she gets up with the lights, the lights she uses to put on her make-up, the lights come from coal."
Senator Johnny Ray Turner and Prestonsburg tourism officials are inviting Judd to play a round of golf at Stonecrest, and tour the area to discuss her concerns.

Successfully prosecuting crimes of sexual violence requires specialized knowledge and the ability to analyze and explain complex legal, medical, and scientific issues while overcoming myths about sexual assault and sexual assault victims. The National Institute on the Prosecution of Sexual Violence II (NIPSVII) is a three and one-half day advanced training course designed to provide prosecutors who have previously attended the original NIPSV or NIPSVI with the training, resources, and skills necessary to overcome emerging legal issues and challenges to successfully prosecute these difficult cases. NIPSVII delves more deeply into the concepts addressed during NIPSVI and integrates such complicated dynamics as campus sexual assault, sexually exploited victims, and victims with disabilities.
NIPSVII utilizes a highly interactive team format to engage and challenge prosecutors while providing them the opportunity to collaborate with their peers to develop more effective prosecution strategies. Attendees will also work closely with expert faculty including prosecutors, advocates, and other national experts to examine and promote the application of promising practices being implemented by other jurisdictions across the country. In addition to victim-centered, offender-focused prosecution practices, participants will enhance their understanding of criminalistics, DNA, and computer forensics as they work through complex case files based on actual cases. Attendees will also be encouraged to develop unique strategies and policies to increase victim participation and overcome defense tactics devised to bias juries and judges. Participants will leave NIPSVII prepared to engage in local multidisciplinary training and encourage innovative system-wide approaches while implementing more effective case evaluation, investigation, and preparation techniques to achieve justice in sexual violence cases.
This course is open to all prosecutors and attendance is free of charge; however, priority will be given to OVW grantees and NIPSV I attendees. There is no limit to the number of attendees from any jurisdiction. Seating is limited and applicants are encouraged to apply early. Applicants will be informed of acceptance by email. NOTE: Prior attendance at NIPSV I is strongly encouraged.

I think the answer to my question lies somewhere in this thread, but I can't quite find it, and it seems to me that I'm asking the reverse of the question first posed in that thread. In any case...
I've been trying to redefine
\thesection (and related
\the... sectioning commands) to produce alternative ordinals for my sections. If I use
\renewcommand, things work out just fine. If I try to use
\DeclareRobustCommand or any of the command declarators in the
xparse package, I run into problems with the table of contents.
So this first question is, do I have to use
\renewcommand here, because
\thesection needs to be fragile? That doesn't quite make sense to me, as the ordinal shows up correctly in the document proper. It's just the table of contents that get's a bit messy.
The second question would be, if I don't have to use
\renewcommand, how would I go about using, say,
\RenewDocumentCommand. Normally, I'd be perfectly happy to just use what works, but I have plans down the future to do some more tricky things with
\thesection (that is allowing me to parse an ordinal style string, like the one
enumerate provides for enumerated lists -- something I already have working, and should just be able to plug in.)
A MWE to illustrate (have to comment out one of the lines in the preamble):
\DeclareRobustCommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}% does not work in toc
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Alph{section}}% works always
\section{Section One}
\section{Section Two}
\section{Section Red}
\section{Section Blue}

Other name(s):
a-amino-d-ureido-n-valeric acid
Unsubstantiated claims
Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Besides removing ammonia from the body, citrulline is believed to stimulate the immune system and increase energy levels. However, preliminary clinical research has indicated that citrulline does not improve exercise performance. Citruline has also been claimed to reduce neutrophilia and symptoms in patients with sickle cell disease.
Recommended intake
Amino acids (AAs) are available as individual AAs or in proprietary AA combinations, as well as part of multi-vitamin formulas, proteins, and food supplements. The forms include tablets, fluids, and powders. However, adequate protein in the diet should provide a sufficient source of all amino acids.
There are no conditions that increase the nutritional requirements for citrulline.
Side effects, toxicity, and interaction
The use of a single amino acid supplement may lead to negative nitrogen balance, decreasing the metabolic efficiency and increasing the workload of the kidneys. In children, taking single amino acid supplements may also harmfully affect growth parameters.
Always avoid taking individual amino acids in high dosage for prolonged periods.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use citrulline supplements.

One of the steps is to follow the regular installation procedure, but then I encountered a problem that says that there is no current OS in my computer. The choices that I have are to erase disk or to create a partition. I'm not sure what to do next.

What is a learning attitude, how do I determine whether I have one, and what can I do to cultivate it?
I have also noticed that during interviews, the interviewers ask questions to see if the candidate has a "learning attitude". How can that be checked at run time (i.e. what are quickly and easily discernible signals that someone is pre-disposed to continuous learning)?

Advocating on Behalf of Forgotten Children
Government Relations Initiatives…
In the U.S. and Internationally
Advocating: the act of arguing in favor of a cause, idea or policy.
All children have a basic human right to life, to education, freedom, and to a safe, nurturing and permanent family. With human rights as a core value, we use our unique position as a respected and sought after leader to create laws, regulations and policies which protect children and end their suffering.
This year Joint Council continued its leadership of the Adoption Tax Credit Working Group which resulted in a historic tax law, the Adoption Tax Credit. IMPACT: The ATC provides 13,000 in tax deductions and helps over 70,000 children move from foster care and orphanages into permanent families each year.
As co-founder and current co-chair of the Children in Adversity Policy Partnership, we bring together over 40 organizations to strengthen and implement the US Government Action Plan for Children in Adversity (a first-ever comprehensive approach to U.S. foreign assistance to children). IMPACT: The Action plan included for the first time ever, a mandate which includes over 2 billion dollars in US foreign assistance to ensure that all children live within a safe nurturing family.
In 2013 and continuing throughout 2014, Joint Council was asked by Congressional leaders to be a founding member of the Children in Families First Initiative (CHIFF) which helped create and support the Children in Families First Act of 2013. IMPACT: If enacted, CHIFF would create a new, high level office in the U.S. Department of State to ensure that U.S. diplomatic activity promoted a core value of American society—family care for all children.
In 2014 Joint Council was once again asked to provide consultations to the Government of Haiti in the areas of child protection and implementation of the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. IMPACT: Working with U.S. based, Haitian non-profits and the government of Haiti, Joint Council helped craft an implementation process that supported family preservation and ensured the continuation of adoption for over 400 children each year.
At the invitation of the Government of India, Joint Council has over the past 8 years trained over 400+ professionals and government officials, provided numerous consultations on child welfare and in 2014 partnered with 12 non-profits and India's Central Authority on Child Welfare to assess India's new child protection and adoption laws. IMPACT: Beginning with our 2013 partnership and continuing into 2014, our work with the Indian government, Joint Council Partners and Operation Smile, resulted in new policies that allow for the first time ever, 16,000 children in institutions to be eligible for cleft pallet surgeries if needed.
And More…
Through our Partners and Staff, Joint Council worked with governments in 18 countries.

February 2013 Indie Next List
"Beautiful Maddy and her successful author husband Harry have an idyllic marriage. Living in the Hamptons, perfectly suited to one another, and always surrounded by a close circle of friends, they draw admirers like moths to a flame. Enter Claire, a young New Yorker, who quickly becomes enamored of the couple and inserts herself within their circle. While young and innocent, Claire's presence will ultimately destroy everything Maddy and Harry hold dear. Narrated by Maddy's childhood best friend, Walter, who is also secretly in love with her, this tale is mesmerizing in its telling."
— Meaghan Beasley, Island Bookstore, Duck, NC
Harry and Madeleine Winslow have been blessed with talent, money, and charm. Warm and affluent, they play host to a coterie of close friends and acolytes eager to bask in their golden radiance. One weekend at the start of the summer season, Harry and Maddy meet Claire and cannot help but be enchanted by her. Drawn by the Winslows' magnetism, Claire eagerly falls into their welcoming orbit. But, over the course of the summer, her reverence transforms into a dangerous desire. By Labor Day, it is no longer enough to remain one of their hangers-on.
A story of love, lust, deception, and betrayal told through the omniscient eyes of Maddy's childhood friend Walter, a narrator akin to Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, Indiscretion is an irresistibly sensual page-turner that explores having it all, and the consequences of wanting more.
Indiscretion also marks the debut of a remarkably gifted writer and storyteller, whose unique voice bears all the hallmarks of an exciting new literary talent.
About the Author
Charles Dubow is the author of the novel Indiscretion, a founding editor of Forbes.com, and was an editor at Businessweek.com. He was educated at Wesleyan University and New York University, and has worked as a roustabout, a lumberjack, a sheepherder in New Zealand, and a congressional aide.

Social Media and Tech Pubs
Sharon Burton
For years, we've wanted to find out about our users —who are they? What are they like? Do they use our instructions? And, in this age of social media, do they talk about our instructions in social media? If so, how, why, and when?
In late 2012, the presenter ran an opinion poll to find out what people do with post-sales content like product instructions, and social media. This webinar covers the results of that poll.
With roughly 1.2 billion people on Facebook and 100,000 tweets a minute on Twitter, people are communicating with each other. As part of that communication, are people asking for help with products after they purchase them? Are people using product documentation to get help? Or are they tapping into the "hive mind" for help? Or some mix of both, or perhaps neither?
In a previous poll, the presenter discovered that 90% of people use product documentation to help them use a product. But with social media playing such an emerging role in our lives, she wanted to know if people use social media to help them use the products they purchase. If they do leverage their social media, what are their expectations? Do they expect the company to notice and step in? How do they feel if that happens, or doesn't happen?

CADIZ - Village Solicitor Costa Mastros called a special meeting to discuss the proposed agreement between Kokosing and the village regarding a plan to fund modernization of Cadiz's antiquated water and sewer systems.
"We have three options on the table and we need to decide which option we will pursue: 1. Do nothing. 2. Adopt the original deal had the water and sewer programs interlocked. 3. Just move forward with the water deal at this time." Mastros explained.
"The findings and orders from the Environmental Protection Agency are already in place and if the village does not comply, the EPA will shut you down," he said.
Chad R. Lampe, project manager for Kokosing, was on hand to answer questions from council members and citizens.
"The initial division of the sale is 70/30. That includes 40 percent, which is directed toward debt service covering project and construction costs for Kokosing and then the remaining 60 percent is split evenly, 30/30 with the village."
"This is a good deal for the village. Kokosing is a well known and respected company in this industry," said Mayor Ken Zitko. "When it flips we will get 70 and they will get 30. Water sales will be from the reservoir, wells, wastewater affluent and hopefully Tappan, keep your fingers crossed." added Zitko. "Everything is to be transparent, an open book cost and fee basis and the village would have the ability to approve each phase."
"We will not be taking any of the financial risk and I feel it is a no-lose situation for the village," said council member Curt Crawshaw. "We will be asking that all water lines specs will be to code so we can utilize them for the sale of potable water once the drilling is done."
"That 70/30 will also apply if there is no cost for operational sales," said Lampe. "Our expenses come out first, there is a 10 percent contractor fee, but after that whatever remains will be divided fairly.
"Convenience and location is key for drillers seeking water," added Lampe. "For our part we will keep everything equal and commit to never unbalance prices.
"Design work with the village and EPA will determine what the plan is going to look like," Lampe stated. "A nice new water plant with the ability to service a large area will allow the possibility of a regional facility."
Crawshaw told Lampley the village had a unique partnership with the county already, which accounted for one-third of their sales.
"As far as water sales go, the larger time commitment is contract and legal in our business dealings," added. Lampley.
"We are just making sure everyone goes into this with their eyes open," Mastros said. "This is an emergency situation and we are going in 'no bid' and that could be a challenge, we could catch a lawsuit."
"I talk with auditors and it is important to note that anything over $50,000 has to be bid out," warned Amy L. Ossman, village clerk-treasurer. "If we go with 'no bid' there could be an auditor's challenge."
"We have contacted outside law firms for their legal opinion on the agreement," Mastros replied. "Specifying that this is an emergency situation, these will be qualification-based selections and cost competitive so we feel we can contract outside of the hard bid environment,"
"We anticipate that there will be conflicts," Crawshaw answered. "But this has come to the point we need to do something and Kokosing seem to be the people who can do it for us."
"Another hurdle is that the auditor's office is still of the opinion that water money must be used for water improvement," Mastros explained.
"The water and sewer are combined in the agreement but they are separate entities?" Crawshaw asked Lampley about the sewer portion of the agreement.
"Initially we think there are some early steps we can take to get the current facility working as best we can," Lampley answered.
Council agreed to proceed with Kokosing, and Mastros stated he would have the ordinance ready for the next regular meeting on Nov. 15.
"Hopefully we can show progress and with the temporary fix. petition the EPA to lift the connection ban. Interim waste water improvements will remedy the short term, then as s funds are available we will move to the long term; plan, design and contract expansion of the sewer plant," Lampley continued. "Once again we believe that a regional sewer district would be beneficial to the area and we will also work toward that goal."
"We can play scared and do nothing" council member Larry Sickles stated. "I feel we have to move now on our findings and orders, if we do nothing we will miss the boat."
Council agreed to proceed with Kokosing, and Mastros stated he would have the ordinance ready for the next regular meeting on Nov. 15.
In other business;
Council approved the contract with Frontier for a new phone system.
Kay Sedgemer was approved as the new member of the village park board.
Council reported 30 spaces were available for winter camping.
Police Chief Bryan Dowdle reported 51 complaints, 35 citations issued and 12 accidents in the village in October.

The rest of the USC team was just as helpless as host Washington sunk 17 free throws without a miss over the final 17:40 to put the Trojans away, 65-57, on Wednesday night.
"I don't know what it was," USC senior Jio Fontan said after the Trojans lost for only the third time in a span of nine games. "Once they got to the free-throw line, they started to knock them down every time."
Scott Suggs scored 18 points and redshirt freshman Jernard Jarreau added a career-high 12 for the Huskies (17-13, 9-8 Pac-12). Six of Washington's made free throws came during a 13-2 spurt midway through the second half, which helped blow open a close game before Suggs and freshman point guard Andrew Andrews put the Trojans away down the stretch.
Andrews scored five of his seven points in the final 2:07. Suggs scored 11 of his 18 points after halftime, making 8 of 13 shots for the game. The fifth-year senior has averaged 19 points per game while making 21 of 33 shots over the Huskies' past three games.
Washington won its third straight game after losing eight of its previous 10.
Dedmon had 18 points for USC, which was leading 41-39 when he collected his fourth foul and came out of the game with 11:51 remaining. Washington went on to score nine unanswered points and never trailed again.
"He played a great game, and he definitely makes a difference on the floor," Washington's C.J. Wilcox said.
Dedmon returned with 6:10 remaining, just in time to watch Suggs hit a 3-pointer that gave the Huskies a 48-41 lead.
Washington made just 4 of 13 shots from 3-point range but made up for it with marksmanship at the free-throw line.
"It was all about confidence," said Jarreau, who made all of eight of his free-throw attempts in the second half.
Jarreau and Andrews combined for 19 points and 11 rebounds off the thin Washington bench, which played just three reserves.
"Coach (Lorenzo Romar) always tells us guys on the bench we have to step up, that we have to be ready when called," Jarreau said, "and that's what I've been doing."
USC's Fontan scored five points on 2-of-10 shooting while fighting through a sprained right wrist that had to be re-taped twice during the course of Wednesday's game. Fontan injured the wrist in a win over Arizona State on Saturday.
"It was real tough," Fontan said of playing with the injury to his shooting wrist. "I couldn't really shoot the ball, and I couldn't drive to my right. They did a good job of catching on to it in the second half, and they made adjustments."
Fontan had an effect on the defensive end of the floor, holding Wilcox to 11 points on 2-of-9 shooting. Wilcox has averaged 10 points per game more than seven below his season average while making just 5 of 16 shots in two games against USC.
Asked why he refused to sit out with the injury, Fontan said: "We've been on a roll. I didn't want to not be a part of whatever outcome whether we won or lost the game."
The Trojans (14-16, 9-8) shot just 37.5 percent from the field for the game.
One of the biggest ovations of the night came when Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was introduced during a timeout. Carroll, who coached at USC for nine years, was sitting behind the Trojans' bench Wednesday.
Washington's Andrews had eight rebounds, including five on the offensive end to continually keep possessions alive in the second half. The Huskies outrebounded USC 48-29.
"We played with energy," Romar said. "There are a lot of good things that happen as a byproduct of playing with energy."

I'm working with maximum a posteriori estimation and managed to show that every probability density function that is continuous in all $R^n$ always has at least one global maximum. I've search around and asked a few fellow engineers and professors but am not sure if this is widely known. This can actually be extended to any continuous Radon-Nikodym derivative of a finite measure.
The proof is simple: let $f$ be the PDF, and be continuous in all $R^n$. If $L(v)$ is the closed superlevel set at $v$, that is: $L(v):= ${$x\in R^n: f(x)\geq v$}, then it must be bounded.
That is so because the neighbourhood of any unbounded set in $R^n$ has infinite Lebesgue measure. Due to continuity of $f$, any lower superlevel set of it, for example $L(v/2)$ contains a neighbourhood of $L(v)$. The probability of the superlevel sets is bounded below by $P[L(v)]\geq v \lambda[L(v)]$. This means that if any superlevel set of $f$ were unbounded, then a lower superlevel set would have probability greater than one.
Since all closed superlevel sets are bounded, they are compact and attain their maximum.

These unique plastic cups are made of durable yet flexible plastic which allows them to be printed in full color on flat sheets and then shaped into a cup. While more durable and reusable than disposable soft-sided cups, these cups do not have the bulkiness of molded stadium cups.
Color printed at the top of the cup extends into the rim to create a colored rim. The base of the cup is required to be white. A single pass of white ink can be printed to create white text or to brighten a colored logo or enhance the art. Our process requires us to print a single pass of white behind the art in the bottom .5" of the cup.
Flat plastic sheets are printed on a Heidelberg® and KBA UV lithographic printing presses at over 300lpi (second order stochastic screening) for a print quality that far surpasses old style cup imprinting methods. Flat printed plastic sheets are die-cut to the characteristic "fan-shape" sidewall form needed to manufacture the cup. Using our custom engineered cup machinery, the flat printed and die-cut sheet is wrapped into the basic cup shape, the bottom is placed and sealed, and the top lip formed - all this at speeds over 140 cups per minute.
Top rack dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to extend product life. Exact color match is not guaranteed. Not intended for hot drinks or microwave use.
Plastic straws are sold in FULL cartons only. Lids are Sold in sleeves of 100.

Production does not begin until we have received approval of artwork proof and payment. Working days do not include weekends or holidays. Production time does not include shipping time. Production times shown are not guaranteed. Specific shipping dates must be confirmed with our Customer Service Department.

Prices and options are subject to change at any time.
There will be no cancellation charges if the order is canceled before the artwork is started. There will be a $45 charge if the order is canceled after the art has been completed. An order cannot be canceled if it has entered production.
Prices shown include preparation of straight line copy set in our standard typestyles and placement of customer supplied logos in an appropriate digital format. If special layout, trademarks, or typestyles are required, layout is billed at $85 per hour. If reproduction grade black and white art or digital file is furnished, no art charge will be added.

We cannot guarantee exact matches among imprint colors and product colors. For example, specific colors will vary depending on what type of product it is printed on, the color of the product, and the printing process that is used. With most products, printing within one or two shades of a specific color is deemed industry standard. Product colors may vary as well. We work for as much consistency as possible, but there will be color shifts during production runs, and between separate production runs.

New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

Working Moms-to-Be: Back-to-Work Tips
Soon after Your Baby is Born
- Call a good friend in the office. He or she can share all the birth and baby details with everyone.
- Call the office from time to time. Your objective is to keep in touch. Unless you've structured your maternity leave to include office work, keep shop talk out of the conversation. Be polite, but steer the conversation to other subjects.
- Be definite about your return date.
- Complete your child-care arrangements.
- Make emergency sick-care arrangements.
- Take stock of your wardrobe. If you gained weight, as most women do, don't rely on squeezing into old clothes or wearing maternity clothes back to work. You want to look your best, so buy a few pieces that fit your post-baby body or borrow from a friend. Some maternity things can be used; for instance, you can belt a jumper. Or take your maternity things to a consignment shop and buy new clothes with the proceeds.
- Talk to your hairdresser. Have your hair done in a style that's easy to maintain. You won't have the time for elaborate preparations before work.
- Contact the office again. Get an update on what's happening to the business, and ask to have industry reports or trade journals sent to you. Eliminate guesswork. Make sure your household and baby-care routines have been well established so that any problems are eliminated and stress is minimized.
- Show off your baby. Stop in at the office for a short visit to let your associates meet your baby (see "Taking Your Baby to Meet Your Coworkers" ).
- Stop in at the office by yourself. Straighten up your desk and go through papers that might have accumulated. You might take some paperwork home to give you a head start on resuming your duties. At the very least, call your boss to check on the current state of projects and to say how you're looking forward to coming back.
- Try a couple of trial runs away from your baby. These will prevent you from being emotionally overwhelmed on your first day at work. In addition, you'll be able to test your child-care arrangement and make sure that your estimated travel time to work has been figured properly.
- Ask your caregiver to stop by. Talk about your baby's routine and clear up any confusions or misunderstandings. Prepare the list of emergency numbers.
- Start midweek. It's preferable to return to work sometime in the middle of the week, rather than on Monday, because then your first week is shorter than usual, and you won't be as tired.
- Feed your baby before leaving. That way your caregiver can concentrate on watching and playing with your baby rather than on feeding her. Also, if your baby is upset about your leaving, she may refuse to eat throughout the day.
- Don't socialize at first. Don't plan lunches or any social activity after work for the first few days in order to save energy. If there are social functions that don't interfere with your getting home on time, be sure to attend, at least long enough to chat with coworkers.
- Hit the ground running. Try to arrive half an hour early the first day wearing your most professional-looking outfit. Make your entrance as a businesswoman who is still in business.
- Set up meetings with key people, including clients, your boss, your staff, and other company players. Use these meetings to refresh your insight on current projects, familiarize yourself with new projects, or get a glimpse of projects that may be coming down the pipeline in the near future. You'll be letting everyone know that you're back 100 percent.
- Remain businesslike. Keep the talk about your baby and childbirth to a minimum. Make your first day back at work as productive as ever.
- Be prepared for changes. Even when you've been briefed, there will be moments when you'll feel out of touch. It'll take time to settle in and feel in control again. Don't let mixed feelings get the best of you.
- Check with home unobtrusively. At first, you'll probably make many calls to reassure yourself that everything is well at home. Do it quickly when no one else is around.
- Reassure your boss. You want your employer to feel that you're at ease about your childcare and that it wont interfere with your performance at work.

Video Games: Bans, Ratings and Violence - 04-28-2011, 02:42 AM
I know in Australia over the past few months, even years, there's been a lot of controversy over banning R rated video games with a few games actually being taken out of stores and being completely banned due to violence and graphic gore. The issue popped up again with the new Mortal Kombat game coming out which we will not be able to access at all over here. Selling these games is illegal and believe there is a pretty big fine if you're caught bringing them in from other countries.
A great many of the hard-core gamers are pretty upset because of course, they won't be able to get their hands on the games. Personally I can see both points of view, while if classifications are obeyed then I can see no problem with R rated games, however I can see how we don't want little kids to be exposed to this stuff either.
This has been one of the main issues and one of the original reasons Australia doesn't allow or even officially have R rated games. Although they have classifications and you have to be a certain age to buy games with higher levels of violence it's impossible to monitor who lays what once the games are bought. The risk that we'd end up with millions of four and five year olds playing games designed specifically for adults was obviously too great.
Another issue is that of games being banned by the government and then later being placed back in stores. Surely if the government wants their decision to be respected, whether R rated games are allowed or not, they need to stick with their decisions. Like I said I can understand why they don't want these games allowed but to be fair they need to make the boundaries clear. Otherwise they're walking on a very thin borderline. Of course another part of me is slightly disappointed I won't get to see what the game itself is like XD
Have a statement from Warner Bros on the issue...
'The highly anticipated video game Mortal Kombat, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) in Australia, has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board and will not release in Australia. We are extremely disappointed that Mortal Kombat, one of the worlds oldest and most successful video games franchises, will not be available to mature Australian gamers. WBIE would not market mature content where it is not appropriate for the audience. We understand that not all content is for every audience, but there is an audience for mature gaming content and it would make more sense to have the R18+ classification in Australia. As a member of the iGEA, WBIE is reviewing all options available at this time.'
Anyways, out of interest, what do you all think? Is the Australian Government making a bad move by disallowing games that are R rated into the country and from being sold in stores or should such games be available to buy?
In Holland the debate comes up now and again, but banning is not something that I see happening here.
it is quite simple: shops that sell to underage kids get fined, heavily. That goes for rated games, alcohol and ****. Oh, and cigarettes. Banning never helps anyway. People want things that are banned even more, and they will then stop at little to get what they want.
How is Australia stoping things like Steam btw? Is that just blocked?
Avatarbase - dolled by me
If parents don't want their kids exposed to such games, then perhaps they ought to try a little thing called "parenting" rather than blaming the manufacturers. I've talked to people who work in game shops, and several times a parent has actually berated them for refusing to sell a violent game to an underage child, or has bought a game for a child and then returned it saying that it was violent and they should have warned them, despite the warnings and age limits plastered all over.
The shop staff are not mind readers; if an adult is buying Mortal Kombat, unless they actually say "It's for my twelve year old son", there's no way of knowing that they're going to take it home and give it to their child. It's true that in some cases, staff are being negligent in selling violent games to children, but just as often it's the parents' fault for giving into pester power without doing any research on the game and then blaming the retailer rather than take responsibility for their own mistakes.
I find such bans to be completely unnecessary and probably also inefficient, since there are easy enough ways to get around it *cough*piracy*cough*. I can understand wanting to protect children from violent content, but that should be the job of the parents, not the government. Saying "I don't want my 7-year-old playing Manhunt so nobody should have access to mature games ever!" is just stupid.
That's what I find irritating, parents complaining about the bans and then letting their children play the game the very next week. I think so far lots of people have managed to get it via the Internet and in the end if you really want to play it I have no doubt it'll be available somewhere, legal or not.
It think a few people I know have...investigated these options o.o
I think its completely unreasonable to ban them outright. While the rating system and age-specific buying requirements don't work, its a cop-out to simply declare no one should buy a game because of continued fears that violent games leads to violence(which is what drives these bans), even though the connection is tenuous at best. Its about as silly as banning "obscene materials" here in the US back in the day or books or movies. Its up to a parent to be responsible enough to research what their children are buying and planning, its not the government's job. Anyways, adults should be allowed to access the material regardless, its a huge insult to basically say they aren't responsible enough to even access it.
Also, who is to say what content is worse than the rest? How much blood is too much? How many curse words, sex scenes, murder makes it rated R? That's my issue, because if it is damaging, why even risk a little? Why not ban it all outright and make everyone play happy fun time games? Silly, there is no way to know how little or how much an individual can take. I freak anytime enemies jump out in a game, should we ban all games like that? You know, to prevent me from being traumatised? Maybe I'm just highly critical because even though we have ratings and specific ages to buy games, most stores just don't care and I don't care either. I played M or your R-rated games as a kid. I'm not damaged, I'm not killing anyone, I don't think whatever we are being protected from is anything worse than what you can see on tv and in movies everyday.
I watch a video game review out of Australia that has them imported I believe, though I had no idea that was illegal. Somewhat makes it more interesting just because of that fact.
Av & Sig Credit: Me
I think that you should be careful while putting an R rating to any games. For example, I don't see anything violent or too explicit in Sims 2, it is rated T but actually E10+ will fit perfectly. Then, I don't see anything good for children in Bratz and other Disney shows for girls: Girls buy only stuff that is styled by that cartoons, they wear only styled clothes etc, they turn into a walking ad. So, people, be careful!!!
Also, I played Grand Theft Auto when I was 10, and I don't steal cars, use drugs, smoke, drink, kill or harm others, and so on.

I have an Ubuntu 10.10 machine hosting a virtual Windows machine on virtualbox.
I have 3 servers I connect to using SSH with password authentication, on standard port (22)
For some unknown reason, I have one server that I cannot connect to Via SSH using putty/terminal or HTTP via Browser from my Host nix box, but my Virtual machine CAN connect via both.
Same machine, same network, one virtual with a bridged adapter, one physical network card connected to my network.
Really not sure where to start in troubleshooting.
Any suggestions?

------- Update 9 October 2011 -------
Thanks to everyone who has showed interest in the FL Studio for Mac beta testing. We have started adding people from the list below who have been with us the longest (we will be adding people over several days/weeks as the response was much bigger than expected!). If you have been added you will see the following forum appear above the main FL Studio forums:
FL Studio CrossOver OSX
If that appears browse into the forum and read the instructions for getting FL Studio up and running on your Mac.
For those that miss out on the first round, please keep an eye on this thread and our forums as the plan is to open the test up to the wider group registered here when we are more confident things are working as expected.
------- Original Post Below-------
We have been working with CodeWeavers for the past year or so in developing a special version of FL Studio that runs in a customized Crossover wrapper (a Windows emulator/wrapper). This means that you DON'T need anything else (like a Windows installation, Boot Camp or CrossOver) to run FL Studio on Mac OSX. Just install FL Studio using the supplied .dmg and away you go!
We are now looking for experienced FL Studio users as beta-testers so if you have been a customer for 2 years or more AND have access to a Mac for testing, please reply below to have your name added to the list.
Let us know:
1. What Mac Hardware, OSX version & sound card you are using?
2. If you own/have a Mac, why you have one instead of/in addition to a PC?
3. How long you have been using FL Studio as a registered customer?
- This version of FL Studio does not support Audio Unit plugins. (PC) VST and FL Studio native only.
- 3rd Party VST plug-in compatibility needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis (please report).
PLEASE NOTE: Beta Testing will start sometime late September or early October.

GENESEO, N.Y. - U.S. News & World Report has ranked SUNY Geneseo first among four North Region universities identified as having a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching. Geneseo is one of 86 schools from the four regions of the country on the list, contained in the magazine's 2011 rankings of the nation's top colleges and universities.
Geneseo also made another strong showing this year in the magazine's general rankings, placing second among the "Top Public Universities" list for the North Region. It also ranks 12th in the "Best Regional Universities" category for the same region, a category that combines both public and private institutions.
"Our faculty's strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and student success is the primary reason we continue to attract very strong students and faculty to our campus," said Carol S. Long, provost at Geneseo. "We are pleased our peers continue to validate our academic quality through their responses to this highly visible survey."
The 86 colleges and universities in the country in the "Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching" category were selected from data collected in a spring 2010 peer assessment survey of college presidents, provosts and admissions deans from their ranking category. They were asked to identify up to ten schools in their category with an unusual commitment to undergraduate teaching.
SUNY Geneseo is also listed among all public and private schools in the country with the lowest acceptance rates, highest graduation rates and highest freshman retention rates. Geneseo's rates are 35%, 80% and 90.8%, respectively.
"We are always pleased with our strong showing in these rankings but continue to advise parents and students to use them as one of many tools to assess quality," said Bill Caren, associate vice president for enrollment services at Geneseo.
All of this year's rankings are available online and will be published in the September 2010 issue of U.S. News & World Report, available on newsstands Aug. 31.

Message box styling issue in IE only
REQUIRED INFORMATIONExt version tested:
- Ext 4.0.7
- IE8/compatibility mode
- Styling issue with message box in IE
- Added ext code below to examples/theme/theme.js
- Set up custom theme using the steps listed in learning guide
- Added one custom line(white background listed below)
- correct styling
- buttons overlap background
var dialog = Ext.create('Ext.window.MessageBox', { buttons: [ {text: "Ok", handler: function(){alert('hi');}}, {text: "Play", handler: function(){alert('hello');}}, {text: "that", handler: function(){alert('how are you');}}, {text: "funky music", handler: function(){alert('hola');}}, {text: "white boy", handler: function(){alert('coma esta?');}}, {text: "Cancel", handler: function(){dialog.close();}} ] }); dialog.show({ title: 'Save Changes?', width: 800, msg: 'Click OK to delete this item or click Cancel to exit', icon: Ext.MessageBox.WARNING });
- Found potential solution
- change padding
- default css plus one addition($window-body-background-color: #ffffff !important; )
- WinXP
<div class="x-container x-window-item x-container-default" id="container-1346" role="presentation" style="padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; width: 590px; padding-right: 10px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 10px;">
This looks fine in the newest versions of chrome and firefox. Also, removing the padding-bottom seems to have no change on the styling at least in chrome.

Short answer, yes it appears to work fine in 4.1 beta 3. However, it appears there are some other bugs with custom themes in the beta. If I run the themes example with resources/css/ext-all.css it works fine. However, switching to a custom theme(no changes just different file) cause some weird spacing issues. Also, the tabs styling appears to have additional issues(see below). This behavior seems fairly consistent among other examples I've tried as well.
I've not tried to debug the below behavior at all as it's really a separate issue. I'm not sure how soon 4.1 will be out of beta status either. Perhaps these are known issues. I've not looked. But, I'm not sure we can upgrade to the beta with issues such as this and I'm not sure my QA will let my code through with the issues I have in 4.0.7.
14 Mar 2012 12:40 PM #4
I noticed today when messing around with this that a page built with ext-all.js and only a message box appears to work correctly in 4.0.7. The example page for theme is using bootstrap instead of ext-all.js and displays as I screen capped above.
In 4.1 beta 3 they have converted that theme example to ext-all.js. I'm thinking the issue has something to do with bootstrap and if I avoid that I think things may be ok.

Xbox LIVE warnings issued as limited service problems affect Xbox One and Xbox 360Written by: / / 1 Comment
Reports are appearing that Xbox LIVE is slowly returning back to regular functionality, but Xbox hasn't yet updated its service page. Can you get online on Xbox LIVE?
[End of Update]
Microsoft has issued another series of Xbox LIVE warnings related to its various services today, with Xbox One and Xbox 360 online features affected by network outages.
Xbox LIVE Warnings
Earlier today, Microsoft warned Xbox 360 and Xbox One players that regular Xbox LIVE access to games including Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Ghosts would be affected by issues currently being experienced on Microsoft's network, but the team has recently updated its warnings to include problems with accessing game features, joining other Xbox LIVE members in online games, retrieving cloud storage data, and posting to leaderboards.
Other services, like purchasing downloadable content, are also affected while a period of scheduled maintenance is causing issues in Forza 5 on Xbox One, for example.
We'll update here when it looks at though Microsoft has cleared up the problems affecting Xbox LIVE today – can you get onto the service and play games as usual on Xbox 360 or Xbox One?
