ASHEBORO — Capt. Brian Regan, commander of N.C. Highway Patrol Troop D, is where he wants to be in his profession, in his life and in Randolph County.
In May, Regan transferred to and assumed command of his home troop, Troop D, based in Greensboro, where he has the same duties for nine counties — Person, Caswell, Rockingham, Orange, Alamance, Guilford, Randolph, Chatham and Lee.
"I am proud to say I am from Randolph County and I think it's good for the county to be the home of the commander," he said.
He follows in the footsteps of the late Lt. Col. Vic Parks, who was also from Asheboro and a commander.
Since he joined the highway patrol in 1992, Regan's education and promotions have taken him more and more into administration.
After moving about the state in various assignments with the highway patrol, Regan was promoted to first sergeant in the Lexington and Asheboro districts in 2004.
His wife, Pam, is from Randolph County.
"It was coming home for her," Regan said in a telephone interview this week. "We built a house on family land in the southwestern part of county in 2005 and took root here."
Pam Smith Regan is an RN in the intensive care unit at Randolph Hospital. Their daughter attends Southwestern Randolph Middle School and their son is a student at Seagrove Elementary.
"Family is very important to me. I am fortunate to be where I am, in a position that I can be there for my family. Our children are at critical ages in their lives and I enjoy being involved with their sports and other activities. It keeps us busy, but we enjoy it," Regan said.
The family is active at Cross Road Baptist Church where Regan is an assistant Sunday School teacher.
When he was promoted to captain in April 2012, his first command was over Troop B based in Fayetteville, where he oversaw field operations for 11 counties, a troop garage, body shop, communications center and radio repair.
He started with an associate degree in Criminal Justice Technology from Guilford Technical Community College, then earned a bachelor of science in Criminal Justice from Gardner-Webb University and continued to complete a master of science in Justice Administration from Methodist University in Fayetteville.
Regan has also earned certification as a general instructor and worked as adjunct professor at Guilford Tech, Gardner- Webb and Randolph Community College. He's a certified instructor in specialized physical fitness, defensive tactics, first responder and CPR. Early on, he was an EMS volunteer in Person and Caswell counties.
Regan is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and the FBI LEEDA (Law Enforcement Executive Development Training.)
Regan is modest about his achievements, noting that he spent most of his career on the road.
"I am fortunate to have had the opportunities to achieve this position," he said. "My goal, and the goal of every trooper, is safety on the highways. This job just makes me responsible on a larger scale."
"I take highway safety very personally because I have been on the receiving end of highway tragedy," Regan said.
He was 10 years old when his father was killed in a traffic accident.
"I remember the troopers who came to tell my mother, brother and sister and me what happened," Regan said. "The way they conducted themselves and their professionalism stays with me 'til this day. It had a big impact on a little boy."
As he grew up in Person County, his interest gravitated to emergency services and law enforcement.
After a year with the Person County Sheriff's Office, Regan joined the highway patrol and every day has reinforced his commitment to serve the citizens and "provide the best service ever for North Carolina."
And he added, "To stay right here in Randolph County."

5 Insane Crimes That People Just Made Up
We as a people love nothing more than a nice, sensational crime story, even if it turns out to be a complete fabrication. A particularly juicy tale of illegal activity will be trending on Twitter before anyone remembers what the words "fact" and "check" mean when paired together.
It's a shame, too, because sometimes these terrifying crimes turn out to be complete fabrications. And that's when things get really weird ...
#5. Man Courts Ex-Girlfriend With Staged Knife Attack and Fake Hate Mail
Elliot Burlingham/Photos.com
For years, Chris Cotter had an on-off relationship with Ashia Hansen, triple jumper extraordinaire and a clear gold medal favorite at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
A few months before the Olympics, the two had practically broken up, but still decided to have dinner at Hansen's place. She was shocked when Cotter showed up at her doorstep bleeding and barely conscious, with a deep cut on his forehead and three stab wounds on his back. He had been attacked by a group of knife-wielding racists, who showed him in no uncertain terms what they thought of his interracial relationship with Hansen. Soon afterward, Hansen (and a number of other black athletes, and a Member of Parliament) started getting threatening letters, allegedly from the same racist hate group that attacked Cotter.
United Kingdom Athletics
"It's time for the Aryan Brotherhood to take triple jump BACK!"
The situation sucked exactly as much ass as you'd imagine being stalked by a bunch of murderous racists would, but at least the attack helped rekindle Hansen's relationship with Cotter. Surely they would conquer this obstacle together and live happily ever after.
Well, that was Cotter's idea, anyway ... right up until the police turned up and arrested his ass.
The Real Story:
Cotter had staged the entire thing to win Hansen back. Yes, knives in the back and everything. We'd like to think he did the whole thing for love, but since he was also heavily in debt at the time, we're guessing a potential gold medalist girlfriend (and the chance to sell their sensational story to the media) probably seemed like a nice little bonus.
via BBC
"And once I fake my death in a plane crash, she'll definitely agree to marry me."
Here's how it went down: Helped by two accomplices, Cotter first inflicted the injuries on himself -- a project he took so seriously that he wound up losing well over two pints of blood. While he was in the hospital, his buddies mailed the racist letters to Hansen and the others in an attempt to give more credibility to Cotter's white supremacist story. However, the goons' Nazi letter writing skills proved inadequate and, after finding various inconsistencies in Cotter's story, the police eventually arrested the whole trio.
Even if it had worked, Cotter's little stab (sorry) at sociopathy ignored the fact that real people have feelings. Hansen was thoroughly devastated by the whole ordeal, and her performance suffered accordingly: She wound up finishing 11th at the Olympics, at least partly because of the ball of extreme stress her life had suddenly become.
#4. Family Fakes Son's Murder to Get Back at Neighbors
Wambi Michael/IPS
Edward Mpagi had been living a perfectly normal, non-murderous life in Uganda when he and his cousin were suddenly arrested in 1981. They were charged with the robbery and murder of Mpagi's neighbor, George Wandyaka, and sentenced to death. For Mpagi, this was a particularly crappy scenario for several reasons. In Uganda, condemned prisoners aren't given any notice about the time of their execution. They just have to sit there and wait for the call. For years. The generally accepted term for this is "total bullshit."
Thinkstock Images/Photos.com
Inmates never know if they can risk getting invested in serial dramas.
But that wasn't the thing that pissed Mpagi off. What really got under his skin was that he thought he'd seen George Wandyaka standing in the courtroom during his trial.
The Real Story:
No, the supposedly murdered man wasn't haunting Mpagi to avenge his death. George Wandyaka was in fact perfectly alive and didn't give a damn who knew it.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Mpagi couldn't mention this during the trial. Wandyaka wasn't on the witness list.
Over the next few years, there would be numerous sightings of the "dead" man throughout Uganda. Evidence started piling up, Mpagi's case was reopened, and by 1989, investigators confirmed that Wandyaka was totally alive. Still, authorities were reluctant to admit their colossal fuckup: Despite overwhelming evidence of Wandyaka's continuing corporeal existence, Mpagi was not released from death row for another 11 goddamned years. When a presidential pardon finally set him free, he had been locked up for two full decades and lost his cousin -- who, of course, was also innocent -- to malaria.
The whole fake murder thing had been an elaborate scheme by Wandyaka's parents, who held a massive grudge against Mpagi's parents. For some reason, they decided that the best way to get revenge was to fake their own son's death and frame Mpagi and his cousin for the crime. They bribed a pathologist to give a false statement of Wandyaka's postmortem. This was all it took to get Mpagi and his cousin convicted.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
In Swahili, "habeas corpus" translates to "no need to find the body."
Today, Mpagi spends most of his time as a hardcore activist against the death penalty, traveling the world and soiling his opponents' pants with his patented 20-years-on-the-row glare. As for Wandyaka, he died in 2002, presumably for real this time. As far as we know, his family didn't frame anyone.
#3. Preacher Skips Town and Accidentally Fakes His Death
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
The year was 1908. Reverend James Smith was the veteran preacher at a church in Virginia when a younger priest called Ernest Lyons was brought in to help him. Smith immediately became suspicious that Lyons was going to replace him, and the two men grew a hearty dislike for one another. One day, witnesses even overheard a heated argument where Lyons threatened to kill Smith.
Martin San/Digital Vision/Getty Images
A demon had evidently possessed Smith, and witnesses decided to let Lyons handle it.
After this, Smith mysteriously disappeared, and then an unidentified, badly decomposed body was found in a river near the church, killed by a blow to the head. Since the corpse's clothes resembled Smith's attire, it was pretty clear he was the victim. Lyons was promptly arrested and sentenced to 18 years in prison for second-degree murder.
Shortly after his conviction, Lyons revealed that there was more to the case than a simple rage-murder: He not only confessed to the crime, but named three other people as his accomplices, insinuating that Smith was murdered as part of a larger church conspiracy.
Franco Origlia/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Ah, so Smith had found out the truth about the church. Of course he had to die.
The Real Story:
Reverend Smith was alive and well all along, hanging out in North Carolina with the church funds he had stolen. Yeah -- remember that argument where Lyons threatened Smith's life? That fight was about many things, including the fate of $45 of the congregation's money. After Lyons left, Smith decided to steal the money (a king's ransom of $1,153, adjusted for inflation) and run, accidentally faking his death in the process when, by pure coincidence, a completely random body floated ashore and was mistaken for his corpse.
Smith's absence was a complete mystery to Lyons, especially as murder accusations suddenly started flying his way. That whole thing about a church conspiracy stemmed from this bewilderment: The three people Lyons specifically named as a part of his conspiracy clique had coincidentally just testified against him in court. They were arrested just because he said they were guilty and released the second it became apparent that Lyons was lying his ass off and basically just framing people out of bitterness. See, that's what most movies get wrong -- the fact that you're wrongfully convicted doesn't automatically mean you're not a total dick.
They still haven't identified the body. Whatever. It's Virginia.
Speaking of total dicks, James Smith always knew that an innocent man was serving time in prison for his "murder." He had read the papers and knew Lyons was charged with the crime, but never bothered to do anything because he was worried about the consequences of revealing that he was alive. Smith would probably have let Lyons rot in jail for the entirety of his sentence if a circuit court clerk had not discovered he was still very much around. Three years after Lyons' conviction, the man he had supposedly murdered finally returned to Virginia to prove that he was not dead and the body in the river (which was never identified) belonged to someone else. Reverend Lyons was immediately pardoned and released from prison, presumably after agreeing to give Smith a 30-minute head start.

I am writing a thesis with MS Word about drug delivery and I have a graphic that is a bit pixelated (so says the professor). I heard that TeX is a good thing to learn for this and I was wondering if anybody knows how I could improve my image.
UPDATE: As JohnReed helpfully pointed out, you may want to change the "article" class to the "standalone" class in order to size the resulting pdf to the tikz picture. This also removes the page number from the output.
I think I can help you out with this. I would also recommend that you write long documents in XeLaTeX and avoid MS Word (unless you are a pro in Word), because it will save you time in the long run. Anyway, I had a look at your drawing and from what I can tell, its no problem with the TikZ package. Try this in your tex editor (and compile with
Also, I put in there
Well, LaTeX would especially be helpful if you would want to write the whole thesis with it (I would definitely recommend it). If you just want this graphic to be sharper, use CorelDraw or Inkscape. Lerning TeX just to convert this graphics makes no sense (Check PSTricks 2D Examples for nice examples).
I can recommend Open/LibreOffice Draw for drawing this type of figure. Enabling snap-to-grid, it is easy to draw straight lines. While tikz and PSTricks can produce nice output as well, it takes more time to get exactly what you want.
For inclusion in a (La)TeX document, you can export the selection to EPS (and convert to PDF with epstopdf when you use PDF(La)TeX). For inclusion into a Word document, I think EMF gives the best results.
If you want to export LibreOffice Draw images for use with LaTeX, this macro can be very useful. It exports all grouped shapes in a Draw document at once, so you don't have to do this manually for each. Instructions can be found at the top of the macro.

What is the technical name for a lens which has the same maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range?
This is a constant maximum aperture zoom lens. The "maximum" is often omitted — "constant-aperture zoom" — but is useful to include the word maximum to resolve a possible ambiguity with a fixed aperture lens, which is a much more rare design where there is no ability to stop down the lens from its one and only aperture setting.
Fixed aperture is only common in catadioptric lenses, which use mirrors, and I'm not aware of any that zoom, so in some sense the distinction is pedantic; everyone will know what you mean if you say just "constant-aperture". You will find people calling constant-maximum aperture zooms "fixed aperture", and if they're not talking about mirror lenses you can usually assume that they don't actually mean it.
Constant-Aperture Zoom Lens.
constant maximum aperture zoom lens - Lets say the lens is a 2.8f constant aperture and focal length is variable from 35mm - 100mm. It simply means that at 30mm through 100mm the 2.8f is available to use. Many variable lens say 3.5 - 5.6f meaning 3.5f at the 35mm focal and decreases towards 5.6 as the lens is zoomed out towards 100mm. So at 100mm fully zoomed out the largest aperture available to use is 5.6 . All this means is you need more light at the longer end of the lens. So a 3.5 constant can shoot in lower light than a 3.5-5.6 lens can.
There are two types of lenses in general - one with a fixed focal length, like 35mm, 50mm, 85mm or they have variable focal length range, like 18-55, 24-70, 70-200 etc.
Now when the focal length is fixed, those lenses are called prime lens, and lenses with variable focal length are called zoom lens.
Now when the focal length goes more than 85, they are termed as tele lens. So there could be tele prime lens, or tele zoom lens. And sometime you will find super telephoto lens, like 500mm and upward.
Now the shorter the focal length, the wider the lens is. In general, 24mm to 35mm is considered as wide lens, and anything that falls below 24mm are considered "ultra wide angle" lens.
And usually 8mm to 10mm lenses are considered as fish eye lens.
There are lenses specialized for taking snapshot of small objects and to magnify it extensively, those are known as macro lenses. You will find macro lenses with a specific mark as "macro" on lens body - like 60mm macro, 100mm macro etc.
Hope it helps.

Tales of Burning Love (Paperback)
In her boldest and most darkly humorous novel yet, award-winning, critically acclaimed and bestselling novelist Louise Erdrich tells the intimate and powerful stories of five Great Plains women whose lives are connected through one man.
Stranded in a North Dakota blizzard, Jack Mauser's former wives huddle for warmth and pass the endless night by remembering the stories of how each came to love, marry and ultimately move beyond Jack. At times painful, at times heartbreaking and often times comic, their tales become the adhesive that holds them together in their love for Jack and in their lives as women.
Erdrich, with her characteristic powers of observation and luminescent prose, brings these women's unforgettable stories to life with astonishing candor and warmth. Filled with keen perceptions about the apparatus for survival, the force of passion and the necessity of hope, Tales of Burning Love is a tour de force from one of the most formidable American writers at work today.

Jamie Aid's first year as head coach of the Lipscomb women's tennis team was filled with a number of firsts for her team.
Aid joined the program in 2010 as an assistant and was named head coach prior to the start of the 2013-2014 season.
The Lady Bisons set a season program record for wins with 10. They finished with a 10-11 worksheet overall. In the spring seasons they were 7-0 in home indoor matches, also a program record.
Their 3-5 record in the Atlantic Sun earned the Lady Bisons their first trip to the conference tournament. Seeded at No. 6 they lost 4-0 to Florida Gulf Coast in the first round.
"It was a lot of hard work to make the A-Sun Tournament, but we felt all along it was a realistic goal," Aid said. "Next year, as we set our new goals, we should want to be in the championship match.
"It was great to be in the A-Sun Tournament. But at the end of the day we ended up sixth in the conference and we want to be better than sixth."
Laura Kent was named to the A-Sun All–Freshman Team. It was the first time a Lady Bisons tennis player had been named to the team since 2005. Kent was a unanimous selection of the conference coaches.
"We told the girls in the fall that we would be a team that writes a story of firsts for this program," Aid said. "We told the girls we would push them hard both on and off of the court."
Off the court the Lady Bisons also had a first for the Lipscomb athletic programs. Between their matches with Mercer and Kennesaw State they spent several days working on a mission trip working with the homeless in Atlanta.
In addition to her coaching duties Aid also serves as the Director of the Lipscomb Racquet Club located at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center on campus.
She directs several camps at Lipscomb and also serves as a Junior Development Director, promoting junior tennis in the Nashville area.
Prior to joining the Lipscomb tennis program Aid held several positions at The Ensworth School in Nashville, working on the high school level in the Dean of Students office as head of academic support and as a faculty member in the fitness department.
From July 2006 through 2010 Aid served a tennis director at Ensworth. She oversaw the high school, junior varsity and middle school teams.
She served as head coach for the boys and girls teams and produced winning seasons with both teams each year as well as regular appearances in the TSSAA State Tournament. Aid's combined overall record was 44-11.
Aid has also worked as an instructor at camps on other campuses, including the Vanderbilt Tennis Camps from 2001-2004.
Aid graduated from Lipscomb University with a B.S. degree in 2006. She transferred from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama after being sidelined with a knee injury.
She redshirted for one year and then played two seasons at Lipscomb. She was named First Team All-Conference one season. She served as captain of the Lipscomb tennis team as a junior and senior.
Aid earned numerous academic honors including the Provost List and the Dean's List. She was a three-time All-Academic Team member. She also was named to the National Dean's List and was a member of "Who's Who among American College Students".
She graduated from Brentwood Academy ('01) in Brentwood, Tennessee where she played tennis on the varsity level from the eighth grade through her senior year. She later served on the alumni board from 2006-2009 at Brentwood Academy.
Aid was a top player in state of Tennessee in Juniors as well as the southeast region.

Have you found the glow in the dark monkey?
Would it let you order more than 1?
42 Answers answer
Yes I did. I am trying to order three, but it is taking forever.
The site wasn't loading everything right. I finally got to the order page and did order three. At least I think so, I was sent to an order confirmation page, but none loaded.
It was too much like the make your own adventure flip books. Not worth a monkey. They'll happen again.
@sgoman5674: It wouldn't even work when I tried to click 3. Slow response I can deal with...I was getting no response if I clicked 2 or 3. I finally gave up and ordered 1 (I'll try sending them a message...but we know that's not going to help).
@shrdlu: True. This is kinda fun though.
I ordered three but I'm stuck now at an infinite credit card processing screen.
It processed, YAY!
YAY! I got three! Happy Dance
I didn't see it until after I got the monkeys, but there is a quality post from staff that takes you there. In community forums- Gatzby. Hurry go get the monkeys!
Okay. Shrdlu is bored with toy. See you all tomorrow.
Taking FOREVER to process. We'll wait to see if I actually got any.
I received my confirmation. I emailed an impassioned plea to service (not likely but worth a try).
@sgoman5674: Yay! That was fun!
Just got the confirmation email. Love my monkeys! Good night all. All these flashing buttons, comments and pics are giving me a headache!
Just got the confirmation email for three monkeys and the random shirt shirt. I'm happy now and headed to bed :D:D
My order is still processing....glow in the dark monkeys will go great with the collection if it only goes through!
Finally found the monkey..... And the BOC.
Now waiting to see if either order goes through.
@anotherhiggins: There was a bag of crap too? Where was that?
@faughtey: It was the link "Jazz" on adventure page 27. Sigh. I was too late.
It was page 28. www.woot.com/adventure/28
Monkey is back up. Is there another BOC?
Ah, crap. I forgot that this account had no vote, and just tried to vote up a comment.
As @catbertthegreat has mentioned, the Chrome browser doesn't fall for the CSS April Fool's trick.
I got the monkeys and the lights with the shirt coupon. Missed the boc though.
gots me some epic grizz. thanks woot, I love jazz music.
@faughtey: Doesn't seem like it. They sold through 3000. With that I am throwing in the BOC towel (usually the server is too slow...tonight I was too slow). That's ok, the monkey was higher up on the list tonight.
For anyone still looking:
Glowing Monkey:
A) Answer the door >
A) Fight Back >
B) Hit the big red button >
A) Steer yourself >
B) "No, I'm not the chosen one" >
A) Run for the time-limo >

A man said to be from Carmi was found dead early this morning (Monday) hanging by his neck from a rope at the Carmi Post Office.
The case is being investigated by the Carmi Police Department and the White County Coroner's Office.
Coroner Chris Marsh said it appeared the man tied a rope to a handrail that surrounds some stairs leading to a basement door on the south side of the post office. His body was discovered by a postal service employee reporting for work around 5:30 a.m.
There are two sets of rails above the parking lot level that guard against someone falling into the deep recess leading to the basement door. The yellow rope was visible from Walnut Street, tied around the top rail in several knot.
Marsh said the man's car was discovered by a police officer a short distance away in the alleyway where the letter drop boxes are located.
Marsh said the investigation is ongoing and declined to identify the man until his relatives had been notified. No autopsy was planned.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted believes the Ohio General Assembly needs to enact some election-related laws "before the next big election."
Husted is seeking changes that would allow Ohio voters to register to vote online and obtain absentee ballots through their computers. He also wants all county boards of elections to have the same hours of operations, and for updates to be made to Ohio's provisional ballot voting process.
Husted also is pushing lawmakers to reform how redistricting is done in the state.
"There's a timing issue on this, because there's voting going on all the time in Ohio," he said. "This just doesn't need to be done for the presidential election. It needs to be done now, so we can run these elections efficiently and effectively.
"On the technology front, just because the General Assembly passes a law doesn't mean I just flip a switch and it all works," he continued. "It requires a lot of work. The sooner they give me the authority, the sooner I can get this in place and I can test it to make sure it works for the next big election."
The closer the state gets to the next "big election" - whether it be next year's gubernatorial race or the 2016 presidential election - the more controversy any reforms are likely to cause, Husted believes. And he said changes to how Ohio officials conduct redistricting must be enacted before district lines are redrawn after the 2020 election.
Husted added there is legislation before the General Assembly - based on measures he proposed when a member - that would change the redistricting process.
"I would like to take the partisan aspect of drawing the districts out - make it a bipartisan process," he said.
Husted proposes a seven-member redistricting board, comprised of the governor, auditor and secretary of state, along with two Democratic members of the legislature and two Republican members.
A five-vote supermajority vote would be needed to approve any redistricting map, including at least one vote from the minority party.
The maps would not be permitted to break up any counties to form congressional or legislative districts.
"That doesn't mean we will have 16 competitive congressional districts in Ohio ... ," Husted said, acknowledging Ohio could lose two of its current 18 congressional seats after 2020. "In the end, you'll have some Republican districts, some Democratic districts and some swing districts. That will be more reflective of how people live in Ohio, how people see things. We'll have a better chance of sending a delegation to Washington that is focused on solving problems and not just focused on winning elections."

As a blind user of both Stackoverflow and Serverfault I was wondering if any thought has been given to making the sites more accessible? Most things work well enough such as asking and answering questions, but some things are not accessible such as up voting comments. It would also be nice if there were headings or another quick way to jump from answer to answer.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
It's extremely difficult for us to judge a site's accessibility. I'd say the thing to do is to outline the problems you've observed in good detail, and post each one as a separate question on SO.
Good point. Too often we forget about the visually-impaired. I spent a couple months working on revamping a client's website after spending 10 or so minutes on the phone with a man who uses jaws to surf the web.
I was just wondering about this as I was trying to manipulate parts of SO pages in conkeror and having some troubles due to the markup that is used in places, particularly in comments. I installed a screen reader, but must confess I don't know anything about them so I couldn't really judge how well it worked. The general idea of making things more usable in a screen reader seems fairly straight forward however. As John Topley pointed out, Dive into Accessibility is a pretty quick read that points out easy ways to improve in this area, such as adding summaries to tables.

First half woes bury South Florida as Bulls lose for the 13th time in their past 14 games
St. John's 69, South Florida 54
TAMPA (AP) - JaKarr Sampson scored 20 points and D'Angelo Harrison added 18 and St. John's beat South Florida 69-54 on Wednesday night, handing the Bulls their ninth straight loss and 13th in their last 14 games.
Sir'Dominic Pointer added 12 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for the Red Storm (16-10, 8-6 Big East), who had lost two straight and three of four. The win moves St. John's into a tie for seventh in the conference.
It was the first game back for St. John's coach Steve Lavin, who missed two games following the death of his father.
Victor Rudd had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls (10-16, 1-13), who have a record of 2-13 in the 2013 portion of this season.
The sellout crowd of 5,602 at St. John's on-campus Carnesecca Arena was enticed by a bobblehead doll of Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca.

Chill Out on No. 1 Notre Dame
How surreal and funny it is to witness the renewal of hatred toward Notre Dame, suddenly bursting with life, as if a primordial creature has roused from the ocean. How long has it been since the Fighting Irish were properly despised? The emotion hasn't had relevance for years—during recent down years it just felt like a pile-on—but now, amid a surprising and historic South Bend season, it's being dusted off for a loud revival. Irish fans might be offended, but they shouldn't be. There's something amusingly passé about the hostility. Hearing someone complain about Notre Dame in 2012 is like having someone call you on a rotary phone and tell you all the reasons you shouldn't like Air Supply.
More on Notre Dame
Of course, it's inevitable. Despite years of inconsequence and occasional ineptitude, the Fighting Irish remain college football's most recognizable (and polarizing) brand, the team that your mom, your cat and your crazy uncle Billy have an opinion about. Now that the Fighting Irish have defied the Schadenfreude-ists and completed an undefeated regular season—USC was victim No. 12 on Saturday night—all of those dormant, almost forgotten feelings are rushing back. Notre Dame stands alone at No. 1, virtually assured of a spot in Jan. 7 BCS championship, presumably against the winner of the SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia. Please be warned. By the third week of December you're going to be completely fatigued from hearing about this game and Notre Dame, and by New Year's Day you're going to be dangling your television out the window. If the game winds up being Alabama versus the Irish in South Florida—ESPN must be licking its chops at the prospect of the two storied programs going head-to-head—the hype is going to be suffocating, and you may have to sail to a pole to escape.
But I'm ready. Bring it on. Count me among those who are happy to have Notre Dame in the Last Game That Matters. I don't feel dread or pre-fatigue. I'm ready for the onslaught and opinion-making and the endless references to decades-old ghosts. I'm not saying I want it every season. But right now, this feels right.
Please understand: I get the eye-rolling. I appreciate why Notre Dame drives some people a little crazy, why the reverence can be insufferable, to the point that sometimes college football can feel like Notre Dame and everybody else. But that was a while ago. Until recently, any media fascination with Notre Dame seemed genuinely outmoded—like a national tabloid channel dedicated to the daily movements of Gene Hackman. Before this season there'd been belief that stubborn Notre Dame was a program running on fumes, incapable of returning to its golden years. This was a different type of frustration. As Bryan Curtis wrote on ESPN's Grantland in October, "The new way to hate Notre Dame is not to hate them at all. It's more like disappointment that they aren't worthy of hate."
Very true. But with a national title on the line, it feels worthier, closer to earned. Envy and irritation often knock on the door of the country's No. 1 team, as does suspicion. But some of the knocks on this 2012 Notre Dame team feel relatively frivolous. There's the complaint that their big wins came against teams (Michigan State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Southern California) that didn't wind up being terribly special, though Stanford might like to have a word with you. There's Notre Dame's luck in big games like its triple-overtime win over Pittsburgh, as well as charitable officiating, as if no undefeated team in the history of college football ever caught a bunch of breaks. I don't know what to tell you. Throughout the season there's been a supposition that Notre Dame's inevitable fall was the game around the corner, and it didn't happen. That shows something. The Fighting Irish played 12 games and won them all, which seems to be the point.
Another knock against Notre Dame: The team, still independent, won't play a conference-championship game. Let me state the obvious truth about conference-championship games: Conference-championship games are cheesy. They are a gratuitous byproduct of conference overexpansion—and its partner, money lust. Sure, that Alabama-Georgia game looks delicious, but it's a rarity. My alma mater, Wisconsin, is playing in the Big Ten championship against Nebraska despite being 4-4 in-conference and already losing this season to Nebraska. Stanford and UCLA will play for the Pac-12 title Friday, about a week after playing each other in the regular season. These matchups appear to be the photographic negative of exciting. Conference-championship games are generally for gluttons and university presidents, and the fact that Notre Dame doesn't play one doesn't make them look bad. It makes them look practical. Criticizing a team for not playing a conference-championship game is like criticizing someone for not building a bird feeder in their shower.
There are other arguments in support. Fighting Irish fans are quick to point at the football team's sterling Graduation Success Rate (GSR)—97% for its classes from 2002 to 2005, according to the NCAA, the best among over 100 major-college football schools. Notre Dame marks the first time a school has been ranked atop both the GSR and BCS standings. This is laudable, even if it's not the kind of stat that gets broken down on sports radio. If it sounds like Notre Dame is bragging about this, good. They should.
I know it's going to get ridiculous in the next month or so. You're going to hear every old Notre Dame story and watch as every Fighting Irish football legend is presented for a reconsideration. "Rudy" is going seem like it's playing more on cable, even if it's not. This is OK. This is not wrong. This might even be fun. Once again, Notre Dame is playing for a national championship, and college football will survive. So will you.

I haven't been this excited by a game in a while. I was a big WW2 flight sim fan on PC from the moments I first loaded up SWOTL in 1992 and subsequently sunk hundreds of hours into it over the next few years. I was similarly impressed by Aces of the Pacific a year or two later. This game is pretty much an updated and improved version of both. I never got into the more modern aircraft flight sims – I've always preferred the old fashioned "see the whites of your enemies' eyes" balls-to-the-wall dogfighting over the "missile lock" style of play.
The good:
There's around 100 planes to unlock and fly, and they span every theatre of war – you start with the funky little US Wildcat and progress through other USN fighters and bombers in the Pacific theatre. You can fly German fighters and bombers over Europe, Russian planes over the Eastern Front, Japanese torpedo bombers at Pearl Harbor and Midway, even (to my absolute delight) an Australian Air Force bomber.
Every plane is lovingly rendered and there's an extraordinary attention to detail in everything – from the white caps of the waves crashing on the shores of Wake Island, to skimming over treetops and villages in France. Each aircraft's cockpit is also insanely detailed – in the in cockpit view you can even see your virtual pilot cranking the throttle lever forward as you accelerate down the runway for takeoff. Very satisfying.
The learning curve is also nicely done – you can get a great feel for the game by having it set to Simplified (arcade) difficulty to begin with, and progress to Simulation difficulty (which I discovered I am in no way ready for yet when my first attempt at a carrier takeoff saw me execute a barrel-roll off the end of the aircraft carrier and plunge straight into the ocean...though somewhat bizarrely, the words "Mission objective completed" flashed up on the screen as I watched my aircraft's wings tear off and the fuselage crash into the choppy sea – this actually happened again during a botched airfield landing because I touched down – thus completing the mission objective of "land at airfield" even though I then accidentally pushed the throttle up instead of the brake down, and overshot the runway, careening down an embankment and again, plunging into the ocean – the training instructor congratulated me on a fine landing as I watched my plane tear in half and slowly sink into the sea – nice!).
There's also the very cool option to simply fly around after you've completed the main mission objectives – your final objective is almost always "land at airfield" but you can take your sweet time – I find this kind of freedom in flight sims very welcome and enormously satisfying. I set the fuel and ammo to "unlimited" and used this freedom to hone my flight skills and practice things like dive bombing.
Length of play: in addition to the Historical Campaign (which takes you through flight school, and story missions flying for both the USN and Japan in the Pacific theatre, you can then play historical battles in the Pacific, over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Russian fronts. Then there's a Mission Editor where you can create your own missions. All that stuff alone would be enough, but then you have all the online multiplayer stuff as well. In terms of value for money this game certainly ticks all the boxes.
The bad:
So little it's barely worth mentioning, but in the interests of balanced reviewing, a couple of minor things annoyed me: during missions, the game will take control away from you to show short cutscenes. This is especially jarring right after takeoff, but happens again after you complete each mission objective. The cutscenes are beautifully rendered, but it rips you right out of the reality of the game, and there's always that split second of "where was I?" panic when control is given back to you, because your plane is in a completely different position and altitude etc, and sometimes you are given control back right as you are seconds away from engaging the enemy. I want time to line up a nice flight path to my target, I don't want to be simply dumped into combat.
Normally I opt for in cockpit view in flight sims – I like the realism. But in this game a lot of the cockpits are incredibly hard to see out of – which forced me most of the time to opt for the third person view or the "virtual HUD view" while dogfighting. This is not as much of a problem given that the graphics are so damned awesome and every plane just looks absolutely beautiful in the third person view.
Only other (really minor) gripe is the radio chatter – it's quite often completely irrelevant to the mission you're playing, and is jarringly repetitive. But yeah, minor gripe.
If you're a flight sim fan, and especially a WW2 flight sim fan – you simply have to play this game. I paid 75 bucks for it, but I would have paid twice that. It's simply awesome.

8 People Who Inspired Words (For Embarrassing Reasons)
Of all the honors a man can be granted--statues, tributes, whores--there's nothing like having your last name turned into a word to ensure your immortality. Your name will ring down through the ages, etched into the language itself, an eternal reminder of your achievements.
Unless, of course, you earned the word because you fucked up so badly that the world just had to remember your horrible example. That's the case for guys like...
#8. John Duns Scotus
The Word:
The Man:
John Duns Scotus was the closest thing fifteenth-century philosophy had to a rock star. With the chick magnet handle "Doctor Subtilis," he developed a subtle argument for the existence of God, the univocity of being and mounted a spirited defense for the Immaculate Conception as fact. He was beatified by the Pope for his intellectual work and also for the invention of the Catholic schoolgirl.
Thanks, John!
How it Happened:
If the fifteenth century was Scotus's arena rock tour, the sixteenth was the sad crash and pathetic reunion tour playing state fairs and dives. Scotus's work was considered so awful that his middle name became synonymous with somebody incapable of scholarship, i.e. a dunce.
Yes, you read that right, a philosopher responsible for big chunks of Catholic thought and beatified by the freakin' Pope was also the inspiration for a word denoting a moron.
English. It's a cruel language, man.
#7. Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch
The Word:
When somebody gets a boner from pain
The Man:
We all know that "sadism" comes from the excruciating elevator music performed by pop band Sade, and the pleasure that comes from inflicting 80s music on the unsuspecting. The flip side of that coin is Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch.
Mostly, Sacher-Masoch was known for his novels, which apparently are really awesome if you can read German, as most of his fiction remains untranslated into English. But the important novel, which IS in English, would be "Venus In Furs." The fatal flaw of the English translation is leaving off the opening sentence: "Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me..."
How it Happened:
"Venus In Furs" isn't really a novel so much as a memoir. Sacher-Masoch, you see, had a mistress, Fanny Pistor, whose name was made for jokes. They entered into a contract where Leopold would be her slave for six months and his only stipulation was that she wear furs as much as possible, especially when she was in a "cruel mood." You can see where this one is going.
Hence, the word "masochism" was coined by noted psychologist Dr. von Krafft-Ebing in "Psychopathia Sexualis," along with the notation that "Venus In Furs" was also an awesome Velvet Underground song. Sacher-Masoch strenuously objected, but he was thrown out of Krafft-Ebing's office after someone punched him and he started breathing funny.
#6. Etienne de Silhouette
The Word:
A two-dimensional shape of a man
The Man:
Etienne de Silhouette was a man with a shit job: Controller-General for the regime of Louis XIV. He had to curb the spending of the king, finance the Seven Years' War and somehow keep the entire nation afloat. Keep in mind Louis had seven guys on staff just to help him get into his shirt in the morning.
You don't even want to KNOW how many people are on his Pants Team.
How it Happened:
Silhouette took some pretty drastic measures, by the standards of the time. He created the "general subvention," essentially taxing signs of external wealth, including such luxuries as doors. It worked out to approximately ten percent. He also took and melted down goldware and silverware to help fund all of Louis' wars, which is why, today, when we want money from someone we say "fork it over."
(That's not even a little bit true, but could you imagine?)
Since he was taking so much, often by the time he was done, the rich couldn't swing their usual sculptures depicting them as gods or flattering paintings that hid the peasants they were standing on to look taller. Hence, the silhouette, a simple paper cutout of a person's profile, named after the tax man who had made the formerly disgustingly rich man a shadow of himself, i.e. slightly less rich. Showing a remarkable sense of irony, Steve Jobs proceeded to use them in the commercials for the earliest, most expensive iPods.
This is progress?
#5. King Pyrrhus of Epirus
The Words:
Pyrrhic victory
Meaningless win that wasn't worth it
The Man:
The second cousin of Alexander the Great, King Pyrrhus was no stranger to kicking ass. He booted the Carthaginians out of Sicily, absolutely pounded the Romans and was considered one of the greatest military leaders of his time.
Yeah, you go, Guy. Cut that tree, cut it good.
How it Happened:
Of course, even great military commanders have their bad days. Pyrrhus won the Battle of Asculum, but he lost so many of his generals that he famously replied to somebody congratulating him that "one more victory like this and I'll surely be lost!" Which is how a guy even Hannibal (the conqueror, not the cannibal) respected wound up inspiring the phrase "Pyrrhic victory," which means the cost of winning outweighs the benefits. A good modern example would be the Patriots' 2008 season.
Yep, a year later and we're still making fun of the Patriots.

A third-annual event to benefit the Grand Theater Restoration Project returns this year to the November calendar of area activities, and it has some new elements to it, including music, a champagne fountain and mystery boxes featuring items with a value of $50 or more.
A "Grand Night for Holiday Fashion" will be held Nov. 16 at the Center of Music and Art located at 264 Main St., Wintersville, with doors opening at 6 p.m. although the event is advertised as running from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The fundraiser benefits the ongoing Grand Theater Restoration Project with money from this gala earmarked for windows in the front of the theater, an undertaking estimated to cost $20,000, according to Francesca Carinci, event coordinator and master of ceremonies.

Francesca Carinci shows off some vintage clothing items that will be part of the silent auction at "A Grand Night for Holiday Fashion" fundraiser for the Grand Theater on Nov. 16.
-- Janice Kiaski
The annex windows already have been replaced, incidentally, and the Grand Theater marquee is now lit up at night.
The fashion show will feature a host of local residents modeling fashions from Macy's with Carrie Porter, Macy's sales manager, explaining what everyone's wearing. The fashion show starts at 6:30 p.m.
Although there likely will be other models on board for this, the for-sure ones as of this writing include some newbies, chief among them Scott Dressel himself. Dressel is the president of the board of directors of the Grand Theater Restoration Project who will abandon his typical working attire and ball cap in what will be a return to the suit-and-tie getup he was accustomed to wearing in years gone by.
"Scott used to be a corporate executive who abandoned that to restore homes, so he's putting on a suit and doing this for the first time in seven years," Carinci said, noting with a chuckle that the sight of that "is worth the price of a ticket."
Other first-time event models are Dr. John W. Metcalf Jr. and his wife, Theresa; Dr. Bob and Nancy Ronevich; Beth Rupert-Warren; attorney Michael and Robin Shaheen; Mary Corabi; the musical Balzano children who perform as the Spinning Jenny; Cindy Persina; and Debbie Froehlich with daughter Zoe Leach and her granddaughter, Peyton Leach.
Repeat models will include Susan Adams, Steubenville Mayor Domenick Mucci, the Kris Haught family, Billy and Nikki Petrella and yours truly.
The models will not only be sporting fashions from Macy's but "makeup magic" courtesy of representatives of Elizabeth Arden coming from Chicago, according to Carinci, who added that James Smith, Elizabeth Arden beauty adviser at Macy's in the Fort Steuben Mall, will be there again with samples and items for sale.
When the doors open, patrons can expect to hear background music provided by Three's Company, a local trio comprised of Kelly Camarote, vocals; Linda Hilty, bass; and Kevin Dennis, on guitar.
"We're making it bigger and better," Carinci said of the annual fundraiser that will include a variety of silent auction items donated by businesses, including gift certificates to restaurants and other goodies.
The silent auction also will include a number of vintage clothing pieces: a 1930s vintage velvet coat with a hand-sewn sequin collar paired with a red scarf from Macy's; a 1920s clutch with bugle beads; a 1950s Pierre Cardin sheared beaver full-length cold-stored coat; a mink stole and matching mink hat; another fur coat; and a never-out-of-the-box 1920s green cloche-style hat.
'All of these are in wonderful condition," Carinci said, noting Tony Corella of Two Brothers Dry Cleaners in Steubenville "always donates a cleaning and a glazing of the furs."
New this year will be $10 mystery boxes, all of them a winner, all of them containing something with a value of $50 or more, according to Carinci, who said refreshments will include a champagne fountain; hors d'oeuvres; and a cash bar provided by Froehlich's Classic Corner.
Tickets are $25 and are available in advance or at the door. Ahead of time, they can be purchased at the Center of Music and Art in Wintersville; Two Brothers Dry Cleaners, Steubenville; at the visitors center at Historic Fort Steuben; and at Carinci's law office on the ninth floor of the Sinclair building at Fourth and Market streets, downtown Steubenville.
For information, call (740) 284-8008 or (740) 632-2899.
In other Grand Theater news, the upcoming Steubenville Christmas Parade set for noon on Dec. 7 will have a Grand Theater presence as "little elves" have been busy working on a float Carinci says will be "really spectacular."
Its progress is being posted on the Grand Theater Facebook page that gives a glimmer of what Carinci, Dressel and John and Marianne Cooper have been up to.
The theme is "A Grand Christmas" and will have a movie theater setting with tiered seating, a movie screen, curtains, sounds and lights, and seats - vintage balcony ones installed on the float.
"This is really a community project," Carinci said, noting Vernon Dell Tractors is providing a generator; Mark Nelson, the trailer; and Ken Perkins, the truck to pull the float.
"We really want people to come and see it," she said, hopeful for a "grand" turnout at the parade next month and the fashion show next weekend.

Poetry in motion at Yale's 'Elizabeth'
Sarah Ruhl's "Dear Elizabeth" at Yale Rep is a wide-brushed landscape of two poets' lives. Painted with just enough detail to define poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, but broad enough to reach the poet laureates across continents, this work renders a modernist look at their relationship. It also poses lingering question: "Are words ever enough?"


text: Would be interesting (I think) to read other people's workflow for whatever stitchiing software they use. Everyone might pick up a few tips.............sometimes I think I tend to optimize and delete worst control points too much to get THAT number down.

quote: Diesel and gasoline are commodities. When demand is high and supply low, prices rise. When demand is low and supply is high, prices fall.
quote: The fuel companies simply know that most gasoline vehicle owners can just scale back their driving as prices go up, where most diesels are commercial vehicles which need to be rolling to make money. Diesel drivers as a whole thus are less capable of "voting with their wallet".

I have one continuous variable, Variable, and two categorical variables, Factor1 and Factor2, each comprising two levels. What does it mean if
1) According to a t-test, the difference in Variable between the two levels in Factor2 are statistically significant only for a subset of Factor1 (only within one of its levels).
2) The pairwise comparisons according to Tukey's Honest Significant Difference test and the F-statistic for each of the categorical variables in a 2-way ANOVA both show that the influence of these categorical variables are not significant (and interactions also not significant).
This seems like an elementary textbook question but my lack of formal statistical training is beginning to show...
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Recently I have been working with a certain subgroup of $GL_{10}(\mathbb{F}_2)$ and for various reasons was fairly sure it contained a normal subgroup isomorphic to $A_5$. Today I was able to affirmatively show that this presumed copy of $A_5$ does indeed exist in the bigger group. Now the matrices composing this copy of $A_5$ are themselves $2\times 2$ matrices over a certain commutative 5-dimensional algebra $\mathcal{S}$ (necessarily with zero divisors) over $\mathbb{F}_2$; this gives rise to a 2-dimensional representation of $A_5$ over $\mathcal{S}$ which I am fairly sure is irreducible (as opposed to just indecomposeable).
Now it is a fairly standard exercise early in learning representation theory to show that a simple group cannot have an irreducible representation of dimension 2. As the proof of this simple fact relies only on considerations involving the characters of elements of order 2, does the existence of the above representation rely only on the fact that I am working in characteristic 2, or is it related to the fact that I am working with rings with zero divisors as opposed to an algebraically closed field, or something else more subtle? I am primarily curious as to whether it is solely related to the characteristic, as I am also working with some related groups defined over commutative rings in other characteristics which I suspect also contain subgroups isomorphic to $A_5$. Hopefully someone with more background in modular representation theory than I can shed some helpful light on this situation.

Women's Asics Shenley Jacket
The Women's Asics Shenley Jacket is the ultimate running jacket that will keep you going when non-ideal conditions try to slow you down. It is water-resistant for precipitation protection to prepare for when you are out on your run and can view some grey rain clouds coming in, and the jacket's insides have a light lining for a non-bunchy, slimming fit that will give you added warmth.
You will also be set when your ear buds keep your heart rate going hours after the sun goes down, because it features reflective logos at the front left hem and the back center, which increases your safety by making you more visible to cars, while the contrast media pockets at the left arm make sure your device is securely stowed. Night runs here you come!

Does anyone know of a web app that will produce a sitemap for a web site? I'm not talking of mapping an existing web site, but before we even start prototyping a site.
I like to draw out the flow between pages before I start a project in order to ensure I keep the number of actual pages to a minimum. Currently I use Visio, but I would prefer an online version where people can add comments online without having to email files around.
Thanks in advance

Palin says she's fine with Limbaugh's use of the 'r-word.'
This morning on Fox News, host Chris Wallace asked Sarah Palin about her public call for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to resign after reports surfaced that he called a group of liberal activists "f—ing retarded." Palin reiterated her call for Emanuel to "step down" and explained that while she's not "politically correct" or "one to be a word police," she was committed to "reaching out and to helping the special needs community." But when Wallace asked Palin about Rush Limbaugh's endorsement of the language, Palin said she was fine with Limbaugh's satirical comments. "I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,'" she said. "There is a big difference there":
PALIN: I agree with Rush Limbaugh. He was using satire to politically correct —
WALLACE: He used the "r" word.
PALIN: He used satire. Name-calling by anyone, I teach this to my children and you teach it to your children and grandchildren, too. Name calling by anyone is just unnecessary. It just wastes time. Let's speak to the issues and — […]
PALIN: I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel has been reported, did say that. there is a big difference there. Again, name-calling, using language that is insensitive, by anyone, male, female, Republican, Democrat, is unnecessary. It's inappropriate. Let's all just grow up.
Watch it:
Emanuel, who has apologized for the remark to Special Olympics CEO Tim Shriver, now plans to host "a delegation of advocates, including two people with mental disabilities, at the White House" as part of his effort to make amends. Limbaugh, meanwhile, gleefully used a derivative of the word "retard" at least forty times, saying that "there's going to be a retard summit at the White House. Much like the beer summit between Obama and Gates and that cop in Cambridge."

The new Cameron Diaz R-rated movie "Sex Tape," which filmed on Claridge Drive in Weston last October, as well as in Newton, Wellesley, Waltham and Woburn, had a disappointing opening weekend at the box office.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film debuted to No. 4 with $15 million after receiving poor reviews and an equally dismal C+ CinemaScore. Sony Pictures is hoping the $40 million film makes up ground overseas.
The comedy stars Diaz and Jason Segel as a married couple who wake up to discover the sex tape they had made the night before has gone missing.
"They sort of do every position in 'The Joy of Sex' and kinda go crazy," Diaz told Entertainment Weekly in its Summer Movie Preview issue. "In the end, they don't take into consideration that there's technology that shoots it up into a place called the cloud."
Film location manager Ryan Cook said last fall that Weston residents were pleased to have the movie shooting on Claridge Drive, a dead-end street off of Love Lane.
While Cook heard there were a few complaints, he said he felt the town's "enthusiasm," and was pleased to have been here for the celebration of the town's 300th anniversary.
Signs marked "BM," standing for "Basic Math," another possible title for the movie, were seen in town directing film crews to Claridge Drive and a set of wardrobe trailers and catering facilities at Burchard Park.
The movie is directed by Jake Kasdan, who reunited with Diaz and Segel after directing both of them in the hit comedy "Bad Teacher." Kasdan is the son of director Lawrence Kasdan ("The Big Chill").
The cast also includes Rob Lowe, Jack Black, Ellie Kemper ("Bridesmaids") and Rob Corddry.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- Riley County police arrested two women and a Wichita man at a Manhattan hotel Wednesday in a prostitution sting.
Officials say the RCPD received information that possible prostitution was occurring at the Regency Inn, located on Holiday Drive off of Tuttle Creek Boulevard.
Lieutenant Josh Kyle, an RCPD spokesman, says the department cooperated with management at the hotel and served search warrants in two hotel rooms.
Following the search warrants, three people were taken into custody.
Cassandra Geotcha, 23, of Wichita, was arrested for Prostitution, Promoting Prostitution, Conspiracy and Possession of Marijuana.
Tara Esguerra, 22, of Hutchinson, was arrested for Prostitution, Conspiracy and Possession of Marijuana.
George Brown, 25, of Wichita, was arrested for Promoting Prostitution.
Officials would not release any other information on the case. The RCPD has made multiple arrests at area hotels in recent months in an effort to crack down on prostitution.

The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
The data used in creating this table were from all law enforcement agencies submitting 12 months of arrest data for both 2007 and 2008.
For the 2008 population estimates used in this table, the FBI computed individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2007 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency's rates of growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2007 Census population estimate to derive the agency's 2008 population estimate.
Population estimates for 2007 are based on the percent change in the state population from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2006 revised estimates and 2007 provisional estimates.

Anybody know the history of Vegas and basically why that location was chosen as the main hub for gambling, hotels, and entertainment given that (at that time) it was pretty much a random desert in the middle of nowhere?
Las Vegas was not founded in a particularly random desert. It was founded on a meadow (las vegas is Spanish for "the meadows") watered by the nearby Big Springs, or Las Vegas Springs. As such it was a watering spot on the Old Spanish Trail.
After the Civil War, O.D. Gass set up the first permanent white settlement there. Other settlers followed, and it was an important enough agricultural center to attract a stop on the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad. This put them within a day's reach of Los Angeles and the sea, contributing to substantial growth.
As the nearest major settlement to the Hoover Dam, Las Vegas also enjoyed an influx of population and money during its construction, and cheap electricity and tourists headed for Lake Mead after its completion. They were boosted again with the construction of nearby Nellis Air Force Base.
The aquifer feeding the springs that had first attracted settlers to the area were sucked dry by the 1950s, but by then the city was already by far the largest population center in southern Nevada, and tourism and the military had long since displaced agriculture in the local economy.
The main reason that comes to mind at once are legal issues:
Nevada, legalizing casino gambling in 1931, was for almost 50 years the only state with legal casinos, New Jersey being the second one, in 1976.

I'm used to think about linear algebra with matrices and vectors, I don't have particular problems with geometry either, I'm having hard times understanding what is the meaning of a manifold and a topological space in the math world.
I need this because a literally can't read algorithms about manifolds and topology and I realize that the meaning of this 2 words are really different from what you get used to think in the 3D world (digital sculpting, 3D editors and similar).
I also realized that this topics are often more abstract and more analitical than the geometry itself that they are trying to analize and process, this algorithms about topology are often about something that comes first than the mesh itself, so I think that the linear algebra it's not gonna help me here and I can't understand why a manifold is so different from a topological space; can you name a topological space that is not a manifold ? What is space that is not an Euclidean space ? What kind of topics I should study to understand this ?
The only thing that I realize is that Algebraic topology is more abstract than Differential topology, and in the end ( I'm interested in algorithms about 3D meshes for now, so "manifolds only" ) I probably need differential topology, but I'm not that sure about how to start, and I'm just writing this to let you know in what kind of confusion I am, I don't want to deverge from the real question.
I would appreciate a suggestion for where to start studying this having algorithms about 3D mesh elaboration as a final target, thanks.

Coaches: Tom Yester, Morgantown; Josh Kisner, Clay-Battelle.
St. Clairsville's Kim Clifford, who has his Red Devils in this week's Division II regional, has been voted the head coach of the Buckeye State. He'll be assisted by Indian Creek's Joe Dunlevy.
No fewer than six 1,000-plus point scorers dot the Ohio roster. Leading the way is St. C.'s Dan Monteroso, who currently has 2,321 points in his career and is coming off a 40-point outburst in the Red Devils' tournament victory last Thursday.
Martins Ferry's Cody Schau, who is the leading scorer in the area this winter, is also on the squad. Beallsville's Teryn Jarrett, Harrison Central's Fletcher Watt, Conotton Valley's Brandon Bailey, Cambridge's Kyle Ritz and River's Brett Price have all scored points in bunches for their respective clubs this season.
St. Clairsville, Harrison Central and Indian Creek are the only three schools with multiple players on the team. Joining Monteroso is point guard Riley Carlton. Harrison Central's Nick Pelegreen will roam on the interior, while Creek's Alex Young and Frank Kamarec were also chosen.
Union Local's Jacob Bailey was voted onto the team, but due to a knee injury he won't be able to play.
The balance of the Ohio squad consists of: Steubenville Catholic Central's Zach Herrington, Buckeye Local's Kyle Michalo, Monroe Central's Korey Lafferre and Steubenville's Periogn West.
The West Virginia squad will be coached by a pair of newcomers to the OVAC. Morgantown's Tom Yester and Clay-Battelle's Josh Kisner will guide the Mountain State squad. Yester, who has his Mohigans in this week's West Virginia State Tournament, is the head coach.
The Mohigans had three players chosen for the game, including West Virginia University signee Nathan Adrian, but his status is unknown still because of an injury. He'll be joined by Austin Agnew and Dean Marshall.
Magnolia's all-time leading scorer, Mark Winters, was the lone Blue Eagles' representative chosen. OVAC Class 5A champion Parkersburg South had two players earn a spot, including Wes Mitchem and Doug Dennis.
Brooke also had two players, Eric Johnson and Hunter Wallace, voted into the game.
The balance of the Mountain State roster is comprised of: Darren Heintzman (Tyler), Cody Triplett (Trinity), Travis Tomer (University), Mark Walker (Cameron), Anthony Ghiardi (Trinity), Cody Howell (Oak Glen), Evan Magers (John Marshall), Logan Opyoke (Clay-Battelle) and Brandon Wallace (Wheeling Central).
THE GIRLS' ROSTERS for their game, which will tip off at 3 p.m., are also loaded with scorers.
Ohio will be coached by River High's Rick Isaly and he'll be aided by Bridgeport's Rob Zitzelsberger.
Fort Frye, which advanced to the Division III regional final this weekend, had its three senior leaders chosen for the game, including Diedra Combs, Morgan Liedtke and Taylor Buchanan.
Shadyside's dynamic senior duo of Karli Bonar, the state of Ohio's all-time 3-point shooter, and Hayley Holenka both will take part in the game.
Beallsville landed two players on the squad. Madison Stephen and Katie Kinney will wear the Lady Blue Devils' uniform one more time. Monroe Central also had a pair of players chosen. Those being Chelsie Roberts and Chelsie Tewanger.
The balance of the roster includes: Dallas Montag (Union Local), Kristen Russell (St. John), Molly McCoy (Edison), Cassidy McCullough (River), Mallory Taylor (Cambridge), Jessica Kinney (Martins Ferry) and Kayla Fillipovich (Buckeye Local), who won't be able to play due to injury.
THE WEST VIRGINIA girls' squad will be guided by John Marshall's Mark McCormick and Morgantown's Adam Henkins.
The squad will include two of the most impressive duos to every suit up in Ohio County in Robert Morris signee Emily Puskarich and Hayley Robb, representing Wheeling Park. The Wheeling Central duo of Colleen McCormick and Emily Bucon will also play their final prep game together.
Morgantown, which advanced to the West Virginia state tournament this weekend, had Caroline Colombo and Leah Taylor chosen for the team. John Marshall's duo of Kylie Howard and Kristin Lewicki was also selected after impressive campaigns.
University, which won the Class 5A girls' crown last month, will be represented by Kayla Boggs and Hayley Harrison.
The balance of the W.Va. squad includes: Nicolette Sellitti (Madonna), Makayla Wilkins (Clay-Battelle), Breann Dean (Clay-Battelle), Shelva Burns (Weir) and Neely Benline (Cameron).
Along with the game, the players will be honored at a pre-game brunch at Undo's West in St. Clairsville. There will also be several special presentations of awards passed out during the course of the games.
There will also be a 3-point shootout held at halftime of both the boys' and girls' games.

Will you be returning any presents from this past years holiday gift giving season?
Are you returning one of your duplicate Jelly of the month club memberships?
Did you get a gift that you gave to someone before, and it found it's way back to you?
8 Answers answer
Nope, nothing to go back for me or the wife.
Small family, artful use of Amazon wishlists, everyone's happy. No returns.
I'm not returning anything but there are a few small things that are destined for white elephant gift exchange, Wootizen BOC, etc. It's fun stuff and I'll play with it/use it for a while but it won't get a permanent place at the house.
We returned and exchanged a few things we gave each other. I think it was all clothing.
Returned a couple of Blu-rays that we received doubles of. Also returned one candle to Walmart because I am super picky about my candle scents and I can't stand sweet fruity stuff - so I returned a berry candle and will get a different scent. Felt kind of bad doing it but if I had kept it I never would have burned it. It would have sat around probably until White Elephant next year.
All good here!
Mostly good. We somehow got a duplicate of a blu-ray because somebody forgot to check the list before they purchased, so two people bought us the same one. Will return that.
I'm also going to return a stud finder that I received. I asked for one that traces electrical as well, and this one doesn't -- no biggy -- I understand budgets. I'll return it and get the one that I want.
I'm going to return one gift for me and one for my wife.

When Is Chickenpox Contagious?
Q: When is chickenpox contagious? Is it dangerous for a six-month-old baby to get them? Can you tell me where to get more information?
A: Chickenpox is a virus that is easily spread from one person to another through the air. When a person develops chickenpox, they are considered contagious -- able to spread the disease to someone who hasn't had it -- for 24 hours prior to the rash first appearing and then for as many days as it takes for the rash to crust over (often times up to an entire week). If someone who has never had chickenpox is exposed to someone with it, you have to wait 10 to 21 days to know whether or not they are going to get it.
Children of all ages can get chickenpox. The older you are when you get it, the greater the likelihood that any of the potential complications may occur. In general, a normally healthy six-month-old baby with chicken pox does better than an adult. In fact, if the baby's mother has already had chickenpox, her antibodies (things in the blood that help protect against it) were passed to the baby during birth. This then helps the infant and makes the disease milder.
Hope this answers your question. If you need more information on chickenpox you can ask your pediatrician.

Reduce size of sencha-touch.js
I have made a basic WAP site with sencha.
the size of the core file sencha-touch.js is 366kb, which is very large or mobile platform.
i used jsmin(which minifies and compresses), this brought down the size to 100kb.
using jsbuilder i tried to remove unwanted javascript but hardly another 10kb of size reduction.
How can we bring the size further down to say 20kb?
Please help
5 Dec 2012 8:33 PM #2
I tried jsmin, and didn't work out.
