Should I get an iPad3 or a Wii U?
I have points at work for helping other people out. After several years I have enough points to order something good. I'm thinking about a Wii U or an Ipad3. I already have an Asus TF300 tablet and I love it. The Ipad would more be for my wife since the dog ate all the keys off her laptop. So I guess I'm asking if I should use my hard work to make my daughter happy or my wife? OR maybe I should just buy some sweet Broncos stuff for my man cave. White people problems...

Go for the WiiU. If your daughter is happy then your wife should be happy and it protects you from being yelled at by her. Because really, what wife yells at a man who provides for his children? Also as an added bonus you can play the new Mario games.
iPad. The Wii U is a joke just like the last Wii.
It only comes with one of the screen controllers, and if I remember correctly you will only be able to use one at a time per system.
The Wii U is way underpowered, and the one game that everyone wanted and was showcased for it, Zelda, won't be out till next year.
iPad will get way more use.
BTW: How about them Texans! Kept you guys from catching up.
Well if you get the ipad for the wife, you'll get sexy time! But then that may result in another kid. And then in a few years, you'll be faced with this same problem of choosing something for the new kid or the wife. And we all know history repeats itself... you'll choose sexy time again. And end up with another kid.
...repeat ad infinitum.
@mstislavski: New Mario games? Has there actually been a truly new Mario game in the last 10+ years?
Get the iPad, both your daughter and wife can use it, they make lots of apps and games for kids (pre-teen, teen, whatever age she is).
I am leaning more towards the iPad because I love my current android tablet and would love to see what Apple has to offer however @mstislavski makes a great point. Plus my daughter already has a Wii. She does play it a lot. I do like the idea that the iPad would be used more for school purpose but I can see both my daughter and wife playing Facebook games primarily. And yeah, the Broncos are killing me this year...
The two products you suggest are VERY different, so it's hard to recommend one over the other. The WiiU is pretty much a "catch-up" system, with graphics and processing power only slightly greater than the aging 360 and PS3 platforms. Other than the tablet controller design, the system will in many ways already be dated by the time the next xbox comes out, presumably next fall. The iPad, on the other hand... will also be dated when the next iPad comes out next year! But you'll get 2-3 years of good usability out of it, most likely.
@wickedd365: Actually, you can use two of the tablet-style controllers with the Wii U simultaneously, though it either scales back the displayed graphics or it reduces the frame rate (I don't remember which) if you do.
Furthermore your statement of it being "a joke" is itself ... a joke. The Wii has still sold more consoles than XBox 360 and PS3 combined. Just because it doesn't do 5x10^27 fps at super-mega-uber-deluxe-4D-HD for the 23rd installment of your favorite FPS doesn't mean its not a legitimate gaming console. The Wii has been the console of choice for a lot of people for many years, and the Wii U will help to modernize the market and bring more games back to it.
dude, make your wife happy. your daughter may get pissed at you, but so what? if you're wife is happy you can always just make another daughter. but if you're wife isn't happy with you, then you're pretty much screwed (and not in the good way)
So i talked to my wife's best friend (hope she can keep her trap shut). I'm going to get the iPad and give it to her for xmas. This gives me time to shop a nice case and throw in some iTunes gift cards for stocking stuffers. It's going to make x-mas really easy for me. I had no idea but I guess my wife has been bitc... uh...complaining about the ipod shuffle I bought for her a few years ago. Now she can hook up the ipad to our stereo with a dock instead of connecting via a headphone slot.
I still want to check out the Wii U. guess i better start helping more people at work instead of checking back here every 5 minutes. Thanks everyone
The Wii U will allow you to one day play mario galaxy on the can.
That's all you need to know.
@lparsons42: Yes, the Wii has sold more units, but most of that was because it was way cheaper than the other 2 current gen consoles. Also, go check those numbers again, the Xbox is catching up.
I personally don't care about graphics. It's always been gameplay over graphics with me. And I don't play CoD BTW.
I say it was a joke because Nintendo promised us alot from the Wii for us hardcore gamers and delivered squat. We got 2 Zelda, 2 Mario games and a Mariokart. Other than that it was all family and kid friendly games. There where a handful of good third party games, but not enough.
I bought a Wii on launch day and it has collected more dust than it has gameplay. I'm not alone on this. I know 15+ people with Wii's who either A) don't use them, B) Mad that they spent the money for a useless system, or C) sold it because of it not getting used.
It took them way to long to add Netflix and Hulu and those app suck on the Wii. 480p is a joke. Wii U won't even compare with current gen.
iPad 3 is an excellent decision. You won't regret it, and she will love it.
@wickedd365: When did Nintendo promise anything to hardcore gamers with the Wii? From day one it was about making gaming accessible. Commercials always showed families bowling and doing other active games. Hardcore gamers don't play those games.
And if you want gameplay over graphics then you should still be playing with a dreamcast, as it had far more creative gameplay than any XBox or Playstation system. You are likely being disingenuous.
In the end, though, the well has dried up for Wii titles lately because of the graphical limitations, not because of the game play. An excellent example is the Tiger Woods series. Tiger Woods 12 (the masters) for the Wii was the most accurate home golf simulator you could buy, period. Yet now we have Tiger Woods 13 and you can't get it for the Wii. EA Sports didn't make it just because it couldn't compete visually with the other consoles even though it was superior gameplay.
@lparsons42: from the very beginning the gaming community lambasted nintendo for being too kid oriented and not having any good games for the wii. nintendo kept saying at gaming conventions and press releases that they would eventually be releasing more adult themed games that would be more violent and less pre-teen oriented. i waited for those games before i bought the wii. since they never gave us those games, i never bought the wii. everyone i know who has one just uses it for decoration.
@ndcouch: I don't know where you got that notion from, as I never heard Nintendo make such claims for the Wii. What you claim is pretty well counter to everything they ever promised for the Wii.
That said, there have been Wii titles with adult themes - mad world being a great example of this. Why exactly you would expect a deluge of adult entertainment on the Wii is beyond me; the mature titles on the other consoles are almost all just button-mashing FPS titles with the gore turned up to 11. When a game involves complicated combinations of key presses, it becomes very difficult to port to the Wii with the Wiimote having dramatically fewer buttons.
Excuse me?!i don't understand this.you see,I've been thinking about getting a iPad but my cousin says I should get a wii u.my other cousin says I should go for the iPad . I need help please give me your opinion.thanks, sighned

I used to ride back and forth from work for 16 mi. every day. I recently bought a car for snow rain and such, but it has killed my drive to get out and bike. I was wondering how other people integrate biking into their life when they also have a car?

I guess you have two main tasks, and they involve preparing your "internal" (psychic, mostly) environment, and you external (domestic, mostly) environment.
About internal environment:
About external environment:
I guess all this is essentially personal and subjective, but I think this is the general way to handle this issue.
Hope this helps
While it's important to keep a positive attitude for your bike, I'd say it's equally important to keep a negative attitude for your car. I have a car and I hate it really bad. I hate it for polluting my, already fairly polluted city. Hate it for being 15x heavier than I am, so it is essentially a contraption whose main goal is to carry itself first, and then me. Hate it for depleting oil reserves. Hate it for having to park it and take up some space in the area where I work, a space which could otherwise be used for a park, or children playground, or a hotdog stand. Hate it as it is also a lethal weapon, and I hate weapons. Hate it because it makes lot of noise. Hate it for trying to make me fat, lazy and spoiled.
That's it. :)
Above all this is a matter of mindset and discipline. I've found myself in the same position since starting a job much further away from my home than my previous job, so I know how you feel.
For years I carried my bike (an old 5-speed Raleigh) around on a carrier on the back of the car, 24/7. Would go out to ride at lunch, or whenever I had the chance. Very handy when I was traveling/touring -- I could park the car somewhere and explore a town easily.
Sign up for a race or century in the upcoming summer. I find having a goal or something to work for motivating.
I check the weather forecasts all the time, a bike ride on a sunny (usually still cold) day in the midst of the Pacific Northwest winter are awesome rides.
As others have said, I will drive with my bike to work to get in a lunch ride, or even leave my car at work, bike home, then in the next morning.
I would also recommend a second (or third) bike. Having a mountain bike can open new trails and part of the fun is if it is muddy or snowy. I keep my old bikes when I upgrade and take my old bike and turn it into a rain bike. With proper gear and nice fenders riding in the rain and cold is not that bad. Snow and ice much less so.
Four things: fitness, endorphins, money. Also something a bit more intangible.
Keep a check on your weight. If you find it going up because you're cycling less, then there's a good reason to ride more. Who knows? Maybe weight control was the reason you got a bike in the first place? That was certainly the case for me and the knowledge that I am now slim and fit means that I'll keep cycling for good.
Two, how good do you feel when you get off the bike after 16 miles? Remember that feeling.
Three, I know you guys get cheaper gas than us Europeans, but surely when you fill up your car it must hurt your wallet?
These are all motivators for me. I need to get 8 miles from home to the train station each morning, and mix it between car and bike. Started cycling it a few years ago when I did the odd journey through the summer. Became 2-3 days a week, my fitness being the limiting factor. Last couple of years (in the summer) have averaged about 4 days a week. Always used to restrict myself to daylight months (for me this was about April thru August). But this last year I have started night-cycling, even though I've probably only averaged a couple of days a week thru the winter. But I don't beat myself up if I don't fancy the ride, and many times I don't fancy it in heavy rain (largely the "sitting on a train for 90 minutes in soaking clothes" aspect), but mostly I do it because I love it and would prefer to be on the bike than in the car. There's the intangible bit. If you like it more than the car, you'll be motivated to do it.
I saw my car sitting in the driveway for months unused & said why am I keeping this thing so I gave it away. But my wife has a car so that is something like having a car myself. I can get a ride to work or rehearsals of one of the may choirs I am in but I don't because I love biking. I found that by doing it enough I started to like more outre situations like biking in the rain for example. I think that is it. The more you do it the more you will see the benefits in terms of your fitness, weight loss, the way it make your legs look, your general state of well being, and your financial well being. If you use quicken and if your spouse has a car at the end of the year total up bike vs. car expenses. You will be amazed. Then there is the ego boost part of it. Don't be afraid to groove on the awestruck responses you get -- "You BIKED here? Wow!" Or if you ride in cold nasty weather as I do, "I have trouble getting out to my car and this one rides here on his bike!" You find if you do it often enough you appreciate it even on days when it sucks and yes sometimes it just sucks, if there is say a chilly 10mph wind directly in your face the whole way. Recently I started to be bothered by asthma, but I am coping with that although my average speed is down about 1mph. I use a balaclava if it is even slightly chilly that helps.

A western Kentucky county is bracing for a slowdown in coal production over the next 18 months and expecting the drop to impact projects that are dependent upon those funds.
State officials are reporting a 26 percent drop in coal severance tax funds for the 2012-13 fiscal year, which began July 1. That could leave Hopkins County with $1 million less than the $4.05 million officials projected from 2012-2014.
Judge-Executive Donnie Carroll told The Messenger that projects will be funded according to their rank on a priority list as severance tax funds become available.
Severance funds are based on a formula tied to coal production in each Kentucky county. The money helps counties with infrastructure and economic development projects to prepare communities for when their coal reserves are exhausted.

Rosemary P. Morris
Heritage V illage resident
Born in Brooklyn on May 18, 1920 (the same day as Pope John Paul II, she would quip), Rosemary was the devoted only child of Patrick Gerald McMorrow of Leitrim, Ireland, and Eleanor Adelaide "Nelly" Kearney of Brooklyn, N.Y., who passed away when Rosemary was nine years old. She grew up in Brooklyn and attended grammar school at St. Patrick's and high school at Bishop McDonnell's in Brooklyn. She graduated from St. Joseph's College, NYU, also in Brooklyn. Her first job was at Young & Rubicon in Manhattan, an advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City.
Rosemary and her father left Brooklyn for Fairfield, Conn., in 1947, and lived at Morehouse Highway in Fairfield. Rosemary worked at the General Electric plant in Fairfield, Conn., and was humorously known as "Gail Evans" of GE. At GE, Rosemary met her husband-to-be, Charles Morris of Connecticut (now deceased), and they were married in 1955.
Rosemary attended graduate school in Bridgeport, Conn., for her master's in education and became a teacher, a profession she loved dearly. Rosemary taught first graders for more than 20 years in Connecticut. Her first position as teacher was at Weston Elementary School in Weston. She retired from teaching in 1980 and held many association memberships in the teaching field.
Rosemary and Charlie, who had no children, lived on Candlewood Lake in Fairfield County and enjoyed swimming, socializing, entertaining and water sports. Rosemary also took care of her father until his death in 1974 at age 87. After Rosemary retired in the early 1980s, she moved to Heritage Village in Southbury, and she and her longtime college friend, Mary Kurzman of Brooklyn, became seasonal residents of Florida at Spanish Lakes, Golf Village, in Port St. Lucie.
Rosemary was proud of her Irish heritage and possessed a sharp wit and undoubtedly the "gift of the gab." She was feisty and had a great sense of humor and play and loved a good joke and a cheerful song. Her hobbies were wide and varied, including painting under the pseudonym "Romy," golfing, reading, playing piano and organ, and learning languages, especially French. She was a veteran overseas traveler and her favorite countries included Ireland, France and Scandinavia. Her first trip to Ireland was in 1967 accompanied by her beloved father who had not returned to the homeland since emigrating in the late 1890s. She made contact with her, previously unknown, Irish relatives at this time, the McMorrows in Dublin, a relationship that endured until her time of death and she visited there often. In fact, during her first trip to Ireland in 1967, she asked her then pregnant cousin, Maura McMorrow, wife of her first cousin, Thomas McMorrow of Mohill, Leitrim, to name the baby girl she was carrying after her, and another Rosemary McMorrow was born to the world!
Rosemary Morris leaves many cousins on both sides of the Atlantic, including Clarice Kay Poole of Naples, Fla., Frances "Sisty" Reeday Strang of Fairfield, Conn., and Shirley Swan of Gainesville, Fla., in the United States. She is also survived by her cousins, Maura (McMorrow) Armstrong and Michael D. Armstrong, M.D., residing in Juno Beach, Fla., and Maura's siblings, Rosemary's namesake, Rosemary McMorrow, and Leo McMorrow, Padraic McMorrow, Tommy McMorrow and Christopher McMorrow, all of Dublin, Ireland, and Paul McMorrow also of Dublin, Ireland. Rosemary was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Charlie Morris, her longtime friend, Mary Kurzman, and other good friends and neighbors in Connecticut, Florida and New York.
According to her wishes, Rosemary will be cremated and her remains will be interred at Oaklawn Cemetery in Fairfield, Conn., next to her father's grave. Visitation will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012, between 11 a.m and noon at the Munson-Lovetere Funeral Home, 235 Main Street North, Southbury, CT 06488. Funeral and burial services will be private.
In lieu of flowers, Rosemary has requested that donations be sent to Catholic Relief Services, 228 W. Lexington St., Baltimore, MD 21201-3413.
Online condolences can be made through www.munsonloveterefuneralhome.com.

Besides meeting her when she visited us in Ireland I had the pleasure of visiting with her in both Connecticut and Florida where she was always most generous and welcoming. She had a great personality and had a wonderful sense of humour. She had that real Irish spirit in her and loved to raise a toast and say 'Slainte', meaning good health. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

- Binding: Paperback
- Era: 20th Century
- Number of Pages: 439
- Subject: The Pacific War
- Date Available: March 2012
In this, the concluding volume of the series, Admiral Morison examines two of the most famous campaigns in which he participated: Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He spares no details in describing the grim consequences of the kamikaze attacks on U.S ships. With his usual clarity and skill, Morison also discusses the strategy that led to the concluding campaigns of the war and to the dropping of the atomic bombs. He addresses the logistics problem of supplying fleets and armies thousands of miles from bases, the devastating prowls by submarines, and the controversial loss of the USS Indianapolis. His detailed account of the delicate negotiations that led to the surrender of Japan holds particular interest.
Samuel Eliot Morison taught history at Harvard from 1915 to 1955, except for active duty service in the Navy on board eleven different ships in all theaters of the war. In addition to this series, Rear Admiral Morison wrote many other popular and award-winning books on maritime history, including Two Ocean War. Morison, who died in 1976, was the recipient of two Pulitzer Prizes, two Bancroft Prizes, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Part 8: Posh Accommodations - New Valiant InteriorWritten by on May 1, 2003 Valiant Effort Project Car Gets a New Cockpit
When we decided to build a car that would be driven wherever we wanted to go, the interior was a major concern. Think about it. Where are our butts going to be planted during those drives? Knowing full well an interior can soak up a large portion of a budget, we thought the expense to be a necessity--for our posteriors' sake. Several aftermarket companies carry upholstery, but we decided to go directly to the horse's mouth, so to speak, and contacted Legendary Auto Interiors, of Newark, New York. Legendary has been the choice of restoration specialists and our readers, so we were confident they were good enough for us.
When choosing the style of interior for our Valiant, we wanted everything to have a near-stock appearance. While perusing the Legendary catalog, we found just what we needed. Legendary only uses quality reproduction vinyl, leather, and N.O.S. materials for their seat-upholstery kits. They reproduce heat-sealed and embossed-upholstery kits, and each kit is individually handcrafted from patterns made from original seat upholstery. We decided at the beginning of our project that the interior was going to be blue, and after we received color samples of various shades of blue, we made our choices and began the skinning process.

The first time I sat down, I stuck to the seat. I don't know aboutanybody else, but I wasn't asking what made me stick. The next decisionwas whether to remove the old vinyl or just burn it off. We decided tobe gentle.After the seatbacks were removed from the base, the old vinyl, burlap,and sponge material were removed from the springs. A word to the wise:Wear thick gloves because the material can be nasty. We found oursprings to be in excellent shape and required only a good cleaning andrepainting. This is a service Legendary can provide.When the paint dried on our seat springs, we started with the rearbottom, and the new burlap was applied.(above and right) The seat spring was placed on a sheet of new foam, which was cut acouple inches larger than the seat to allow the foam to be folded overthe top edge of the spring. This not only keeps the seat frame fromwearing through the new vinyl skin, it's also a lot more comfortable onthe legs.Next, center the new skin on the seat spring with the edges of the vinylfolded up (inside out). Align the rear corners to cover the frame, andattach with hog rings.
(above and below left) Flip the seat over and begin carefully pulling the bottom edges of thevinyl over the seat base and attaching it to the underside of the basewith the hog rings. Keep in mind--you will need to work the wrinkles outas you fasten the vinyl.(above and right) Next, the base of the front seat was covered with new burlap, and theedge was wrapped with a stringent fiber material to keep the spring fromtearing the vinyl.The new foam and vinyl was then installed and attached in the same manner as the rear-seat bottom. Notice the spot on the lower side of the seat? That is the pivot point for the seat back, and a small hole was made in the vinyl for it to poke through.
Finish pulling the cover down over the frame, and fold the bottom edges over the frame. Make sure to work out the wrinkles. Then remove the listing wires from the bottom of the original seat skins. Place the listing wires through the hemmed ends at the bottom, and hog-ring the ends together.Next, slide the inside edge of either seatback into the hinge point at the center of the seat bottom. Do not forget to place the pin, on the outside edge of the seat bottom, through the pivot point on the outside edge of the seatback. Now you can place the clips that hold the outside of the pivot point in place to keep the seatback in place.During the installation of the four-speed hump from Auto Body Specialties, we welded two nuts on the bottom side of the hump to bolt our tachometer onto.We ordered carpeting from Year One in a medium shade of blue. Here the carpet is laid out in the Valiant so we can begin trimming the edges.With the carpeting installed, the trim items like the kick panels and the shifter boot from Year One finished it off. Since we needed gauges, we found these recently-released pieces from Splitfire. We thought a cluster of gauges mounted under the dash would be the best solution to our limited space.The original door panels in the Valiant were a style that Legendary didn't have in its inventory. They were able to duplicate our old ones, however, and now they're stocked up for future orders.What's a car without tunes? This Pioneer Super Tuner radio has been handed down from project to project over the years and was again given the nod.
The speakers were mounted under the package tray, and the wires run along the inside of the driver side to the radio.The Legendary-supplied headliner was installed using techniques described in a previous issue by Steve Dulcich. Guess what - to our surprise, it worked.Here it is--the finished product. The seatbelts would have been expensive to reproduce with the correct webbing and buckles.

June 27, 2013
If there's one thing the Buds love, it's fresh produce. Yes. Fresh, delicious produce and yummy baked good....
There used to be a clown at the Bell-Dirty farmers market.
I strongly support these alternative sources of entertainment as do many other Juggalos and assorted carnies.

As the title states, what was the specific significance of the Schleswig-Holstein question (Denmark and Prussia arguing over contested lands bordering the two nations) as it directly relates to German unification in 1871 and the concept of German identity that existed throughout the 19th and 20th centuries?
Schleswig-Holstein became the rallying point for a united Germany, first in a war of Prussia and Austria against Denmark for the two provinces, then in a war of Prussia versus Austria. When Prussia won both times, it established itself as the dominant power in north Germany, around which the north German states coalesced. (Pulling in south Germany came later, after the victorious Franco-Prussian war.)
By supporting German states in their bid for independence from Denmark, Prussia was able to position itself as a champion of German nationalism, particularly in the question between a "small" Germany excluding Austria, and a "great" Germany including it.

Turkey, Syria Trade Fire
ISTANBUL—Turkey fired mortars into Syria on Wednesday, in swift retaliation against what it called deadly Syrian regime shelling earlier in the day on a Turkish border town, heightening international fears over a new flash point in Syria's conflict.
Turkey's strike was the first by a nation against Syria during the mounting chaos that started with last year's uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. Earlier Wednesday, Turkey said, Syrian regime forces shelled the Turkish border town of Akcakale, leaving five residents dead, including a mother and children, and wounding nine.
See More Video on #WorldStream
"Our armed forces by the border have immediately responded to this reprehensible assault," Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's office said. "Under the rules of engagement and international law, Turkey will never let the Syrian regime's provocations targeting our national security, such as this one, go unanswered."
The Turkish attack puts further pressure on Syria's government, which suffered separate damage Wednesday as rebels targeted security forces in Aleppo with a series of bombings that left at least 33 people dead.
The cross-border attacks appear to open a dangerous new chapter in relations between onetime allies Turkey and Syria. They also reopened the question of whether the tensions would tilt Syria's war toward a regional conflict—setting off calls between world leaders and spurring an emergency late-night meeting Wednesday between Turkey and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
NATO, in a statement after its emergency meeting in Brussels, said it demands the immediate end of "aggressive acts against an ally, and urges the Syrian regime to put an end to flagrant violations of international law." The 28-nation alliance condemned the "continuous shelling of locations in Turkey," saying the attacks presented "a clear and present danger to the security of one of its allies."
Attention will now be focused on whether Ankara's response will be limited to a single retaliatory strike or whether it foreshadows a more sustained military exchange. Turkey threatened to strike more targets inside Syria if attacks from the country are repeated, the Prime Minister's office said.
Syria appeared to move to tamp down the conflict. Damascus has started an investigation into the shells that hit Akcakale and expressed its condolences to the relatives of those killed and the Turkish people, Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi told state-run television.
While Turkey blamed Wednesday's attack on the Syrian regime, it remained unclear whether it was a deliberate attack or an errant bombing. Most analysts in Turkey concluded that President Assad had little to gain from targeting Turkish civilians. Syria's Mr. Zoubi urged governments to proceed wisely, suggesting that rebels—"terrorist groups spread across the borders who have varying agendas and identities"—may have been the source of the attack.
Turkey, as a NATO member, is party to the founding treaty that calls, among other things, for consultations and the possibility of collective self-defense in the event of an armed attack on a NATO member.
"The latest event was the last straw," Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said in the western Turkish city of Bursa Wednesday. "Turkey is a sovereign country. There has been an attack against its soil and our citizens have lost their lives. There must be a response for this in international law."

But NATO members have little appetite to act collectively on the issue, diplomats have said.
NATO representatives met in June, at Turkey's request, following the downing of a Turkish jet by Syrian forces. After that meeting—called under Article 4 of the NATO treaty, under which an ally can request consultation when it believes its territorial integrity or security is threatened—the allies said they would "remain seized of developments" on the Turkish-Syrian border. Following the downing, Turkey adopted new rules of engagement for Syria, under which it would retaliate immediately if attacked.
The site of Wednesday's Syrian attack, Akcakale, lies in Turkey's southern province of Sanliurfa. The nearby Syrian border zone has seen heavy fighting between Syrian regime and rebel forces since rebels claimed a border crossing at Tal Abyad, several miles away, late last month. Since then, the Syrian military has shelled Tal Abyad almost daily.
On Wednesday, three Syrian shells fell in Akcakale shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time, said Abdulhakim Ayhan, the town's mayor. Turkey's government said the attack came at around 4:30 p.m. In meetings with NATO officials in Brussels following the attacks, Turkey described repeated mortar and artillery attacks from across the border, according to a diplomat present at the meeting.
Syria in the Spotlight
Take a look back over the highlights of the past year in Syria in a timeline, and review the latest events in a map.
Turkish television networks showed images of smoke rising in an urban area, as policemen and soldiers herded civilians to safety. Turkey's military began to deploy more tanks, special forces and ambulances to the region, the networks reported.
A mother and her four children were killed in the blast, according to Halil Ozcan, a lawmaker representing the province for Turkey's governing Justice and Development Party, or AKP. A different account said the mortars had killed a mother and her three children as well as a neighbor.
In the aftermath, Turkey called for the urgent NATO meeting, and asked the United Nations Security Council to act to end such acts of aggression. Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoglu briefed U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who pledged U.S. support for Turkey's sovereignty and vowed to support Ankara at the U.N. Security Council, according to State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland.
The U.S. condemned the attack. "This is yet another example of the depraved behavior of the Syrian regime, and why it must go. We regret the loss of life in Turkey, a strong ally, and continue to monitor the situation closely," said Pentagon Press Secretary George Little.
Turkey retaliated immediately against Syria with mortar strikes against locations in the country that had been identified by radar, the Prime Minister's office said.
The strike marks the first time Turkey has shelled a foreign states' armed forces since its incursion into Cyprus which led to the division of the island in 1974, analysts said. Turkey's army, the second largest in NATO, regularly uses heavy armor and fighter jets to attack the positions and bases of the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, inside Northern Iraq with regional authorities' permission.
Turkey appeared to target a military outpost in Tal Abyad, according to two Syrian antigovernment activists. Local clerics in mosques across the district were broadcasting chants of "God is great" in praise of the attack, according to one of the activists, whose account couldn't be independently verified.
At an emergency session of Turkey's parliament on Thursday, Turkey's cabinet is expected to present a measure that would grant the government the authority to retaliate when faced with threats from Syria. Until now, Turkey's rules of engagement allowed the military to act against Syrian elements near the border that it deems as hostile. The measure to be presented Thursday would give Turkey's government the power to strike Syrian territory if deemed necessary to ensure national security.
The prospect of an all-out conflict was growing, analysts said, but remained limited by the fact that Syria's army was still engaged in heavy fighting against lightly armed rebels across the country.
"Turkey's action was proportioned to the attack that it suffered, and it's possible that at this point Syrian military and national leaders will reach the conclusion that they will not provoke Turkey because it will respond strongly," said Ross Wilson, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey from 2005 to 2008.
"I don't think this is a full-scale war, but it's not the end," said Soner Cagpatay, Director of the Turkey program at the Washington Institute, a think tank. "If Assad is rational, he knows it would be suicidal to draw Turkey into the conflict. Turkey's public also still has serious concerns about this war, although the government is now in a better position to muster support."
U.S. and Arab officials questioned, however, whether the Syrian-Turkey clashes might force Iran to further bolster its support for President Assad. Tehran has continued to supply Damascus with arms and funding, despite signs that the Syrian government is losing ground to the rebels, these officials said.
Still, these officials said they were doubtful that Iran and its elite military unit, the Revolutionary Guards, would want to directly engage Turkey and risk drawing in a wider NATO response.
"I think perhaps that could be a stretch for them," said a senior Arab official whose government closely monitors Iran. "They might think that is a bridge too far."

With only minor modification, most new liter-bikes have no trouble reaching 200 mph, provided that you have a track long enough in front of you (don't be an idiot and try to go that fast on the street). However, it is north of 200 mph where things start to get difficult. As we saw with the untimely passing of Bill Warner, reaching the 300 mph mark on a motorcycle is a serious matter, and it doesn't take much for things to go horribly wrong.
It goes without saying then that Triumph and Jason DiSalvo's attempt at 400 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats is a serious endeavor. Piloting the carbon/kevlar clad the Hot Rod Conspiracy/Carpenter Racing Castrol Rocket, DiSalvo will have two turbocharged Triumph Rocket III engines, good for a combined 1,000+ hp and 500 lbs•ft of torque when burning methanol, hurling him down the land speed record course on two wheels.
The self-proclaimed most advanced streamliner on the salt, the Castrol Rocket was built not only to break the outright AMA & FIM motorcycle land speed records of 376.156 mph (set in 2010 by Rocky Robinson on the Ack Attack streamliner), but the team also wants to go all the way past the 400 mph barrier. It's a huge undertaking, and also a breathlessly beautiful machine. Check it out after the jump.

As you know genies have been popular for quite some time now, but they didn't really blow up in popularity until after the release of Disney's Aladdin. Robin Williams also became incredibly popular by providing voice talents for Genie, which is Aladdin's best friend and genie. Since Genie is so popular, I figured that making a lesson on drawing a genie would be something that more people would enjoy. As the saying goes, if one person requests something, more folks would also appreciate a lesson on a genie too. Well, that's it, have fun folks, and be sure to leave some feedback. Adios mi amigos.

(January 8, 2013)—A flash flood watch is in effect until 4 p.m. Wednesday for parts of Central Texas as a slow-moving storm system moves out of northern Mexico and spreads across the state.
Average rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are possible and higher amounts are possible in isolated areas.
The prolonged rainfall will produce heavy runoff, which could lead to flooding of creeks, small streams, normally dry creek beds, areas with poor drainage and some low water crossings, forecasters said.
The watch area includes Bell, Falls, Freestone, Hill, Limestone, McLennan, Navarro, Leon, Milam and Robertson Counties in Central Texas.
Isolated thunderstorms are also possible overnight and Wednesday, generally southeast of a line from Temple to Athens.
They could produce strong gusty winds and small hail.
Rain chances are near 100 percent overnight and Wednesday, but should taper off Wednesday night.
Lows overnight will be in the lower 50s and afternoon highs Wednesday should be in the lower 60s.
In anticipation of heavy runoff in the Brazos River Basin, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Executive Director Zak Covar signed an order that allows junior water rights holders to divert or impound water temporarily if water-flow measurements reach certain levels.
Some junior water-right holders were ordered in November to stop diverting or impounding water because of the drought that continues to grip the state.
Meanwhile a winter storm warning is in effect for the Davis Mountains and the Marfa Plateau from midnight until Wednesday night and a winter weather advisory is in effect for the Guadalupe Mountains.
Widespread accumulations of 2 to 6 inches of snow are possible with amounts as high as 6 to 8 inches in isolated areas.
Snow could also fall from Wednesday night into Thursday morning in parts of the Texas Panhandle.
Accumulating snowfall is possible along and west of a line from Texline to Amarillo to Canyon.

Since some people eat such a high quantity of white-flour foods, cancer may have an almost endless supply of fuel, according to a study by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Therefore, if people want to help prevent cancer, they cut back on the pancakes, breads, crackers, cookies and especially doughnuts.
Of the many dangerous foods on the market, the doughnut has been targeted as perhaps the most devastating. The doughnut may have sugar, acrylamide, white flour and hydrogenated oils.
To help avoid cancer, put down the doughnut.

Flagstaff Mine back in business
An area of Stevens County with some serious mining history is in the forefront again with the impending opening of the old Flagstaff Mine.The open face barite mine, located some five miles from Northport, has been purchased by Kent Exploration Inc. and, according to company officials, should begin production within the next week. The mine re-opening will create at least 14 jobs, officials say, and maybe more.The mine, located five miles west of the historic mining town of Northport, was originally opened in 1982, but was shut down because of economic issues and a lack of interest in barite at the time. The mine, located on Bureau of Land Management land, was leased to Kent Exploration Inc. in 2006."The mine is historic," said Graeme O'Neill, CEO and President of Kent Exploration Inc., which is based out of Vancouver, B.C. "The original owners shut down because of economics. They left, put in roads, stripped it, drilled ore body and made everything accessible."When in full production, the mine should employ upwards of 20 people—four contractors from North Columbia Enterprises, 14 workers from around the area; Roger Olsen, Senior Geologist from Las Vegas, NV and Ron Singh, General Manager of the project from Colorado Springs, CO.*For the complete story, see the 7-27-2011 print edition of the S-E.

Answered: Availability of SSL (https)
I've posted in an existing thread (http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...cha.IO-and-SSL) but later realised it probably wasn't the right section. So here is my question:
Does src.sencha.io support SSL (https)? If not (which I think is the case at the moment), is it a planned feature and under which conditions?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I was unable to find any information on this topic. Or to be more precise I found an advice to use https://tinysrc.appspot.com, but this now redirect to sencha (without SSL).
This is a compelling use case. We'll consider it in our product planning.
The Sencha.io Src service is currently a free service (for reasonable usage).
27 Feb 2012 4:57 PM #2
There's no plan to implement https for src.
What's your use case?
27 Feb 2012 10:41 PM #3
Hello John,
Thanks for the quick reply. My use case is, I believe, pretty common: my website is partially served over SSL. The main reason to do so is the increased user privacy, which is especially important for mobile-aimed website. More on this topic: Coding Horror: Should All Web Traffic Be Encrypted?
The issue with src is that, since https is not supported, including it within a https-enabled website will result in a mixed connections warning (your connection to this site is only partially encrypted pop-up, etc depending on browser).
From a technical point of view this is not an issue: who cares if images are viewed by a third party, if it was holding sensitive information it shouldn't pass through src in the first place.
However from a end-user point of view this is a huge problem: such warnings look shady and unprofessional. Worse: most browsers supply no information on what causes it, leaving the average user unable to judge whether it is a security risk or not.
28 Feb 2012 1:02 AM #4
But for sure Sencha will add SSL for Sencha.io Login and Data, so why not add SSL for src if Sencha customers would pay for it?
28 Feb 2012 6:10 AM #5
This is a compelling use case. We'll consider it in our product planning.
The Sencha.io Src service is currently a free service (for reasonable usage).

Thanks for the attention, always a pleasure to see developers caring about their products .

Why is there an author.php file when the same information is in the single.php? I looked at the template hierarchy and one would think that if author.php wasn't present, the single.php would come into play but it doesn't. I would also think that if you styled the author.php then that would affect the author bio on the pages, but it doesn't. So I was thinking about just removing the author bio all together. Maybe make it a function and call it in my page. What do you think?
From the Codex:
In other words, the author template is used to show posts made by one person as well as their bio (if so configured). Whether or not to use it is up you, so go ahead and remove it if you want or if you are the only author.
Author.php is part of the Archive.php hierarchy.
It goes:
Single.php is what it's name suggests and is related to posts, custom posts and attachments.

When one says that a stochastic process is Markovian, is this a property solely of the law of the process, or does the realization of the process also come in to play? I am asking even for the simplest examples, such as a process indexed by $\mathbb{N}$. Most abstract definitions are about being Markov with respect to some filtration, which indicates that it has to do with the realization also.
My guess is that by knowing only the law one can determine if there exists a version of the process that is Markovian, but that given a realization one cannot determine if it is Markovian solely by checking its law. If the latter case is true does anyone know of simple examples?
Edit: when I say ``realization'' I mean a collection of random variables with the given law. I do not mean the value of the random variables at a given point. So the question could be rephrased as: "Can one construct a collection of random variables that has the law of a Markov process, but such that the collection itself does not form a Markov process?"

Rafael Nadal sorry for quips on Federer
Updated: January 16, 2012, 11:50 AM ETAssociated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia -- A day after a rare show of discord, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal quickly closed ranks.
Nadal had criticized Federer for his unwillingness to speak out on issues affecting the men's game, allowing others to "burn themselves" as they seek improved conditions for players.
After joining Nadal in the second round of the Australian Open with a win on Monday, Federer said "things are fine" between the two longtime rivals, although he concedes that they disagree ...

In the Keter Yerushalayim Tanach (published by Hebrew University), parashat V'zot Habracha is divided into seven aliyot (aliyah 7 being all of chapter 34 of Devarim.) I don't see this in the Stone chumash or the Simanim tikkun. Simchat Torah never falls on Shabbat, so we don't ever read 7 aliyot for this parashah outside Israel. Even in Israel, my understanding (perhaps wrong) is that when Shemini Atzeret falls on Shabbat, the 7th aliyah is Chatan Bereishit. So why does Keter Yerushalayim show 7 aliyot for V'zot Habracha?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

My Simanim Tikkun does have seven aliyot marked in V'zot Habracha (the sixth starting at "Meona", and the seventh at "Vaya'al Moshe"), but perhaps this is because it is the Israeli version of the tikkun. All other tikkunim I've seen (in Israel) have seven aliyot as well.
The custom I've seen, when Simchat Torah falls on shabbat, is to indeed add an extra aliyah before Chatan Torah (making Kol Hana'arim start from "Meona"). It really isn't necessary, as just the normal aliyot are seven+maftir anyway, and in any case, far more than seven aliyot are read; I think it is more of a way of marking the chag that falls on shabbat as special, to add another "shabbat" aliya, as we do on other holidays. I think I've also seen times when this wasn't done - mostly because the community wasn't sure what to do, and the custom isn't 100% clear. The Mishna Berura doesn't discuss this point, though it discusses Simchat Torah reading both inside and outside of Israel, and outside of Israel on shabbat.
Besides the reasons given in the other answers, the division into aliyos is for purposes of dividing up the study of the chumash (e.g. sh'nayim mika v'echad targum or Chok L'yisrael) into days of the week. I'm not sure how this plays out for "V'zos Hab'racha" specifically (since the "week" is more than seven days), though.

Ten years after the take-over of the White Motor Corporation's truck assets in 1981 Volvo had established a strong position, especially after having reinforced the sales and service network through the acquisition of General Motors´ 'Class 8' truck activities.
Combining Europe and America
There were many reasons to try to concentrate all development and manufacture of trucks to America, instead of importing trucks for certain transport segments from Europe. It seemed natural to develop a distribution cab-over-engine truck for manufacture in America, which combined the best traditions of Europe and America.
Volvo's biggest truck sales success until then had been with the F6 and the FE6/FE7, both being very efficient distribution trucks with modern ergonomic and safe cabs. It seemed natural to 'marry' the ultramodern FE cab (produced in Umeå, Sweden) to efficient and reliable Volvo-designed American components. The result was presented in 1990 as the 'FE42' truck.
Suited for regional distributions
The FE42 was a very strong truck intended for distribution transport based on the chassis from the well-recognized WG truck (introduced in 1998 and designed completely within Volvo GM Heavy Truck Corporation, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA) and the FL6/FE6/FE7 cab produced in Sweden.
This meant that the new truck was extremely strong and very well adapted not only to medium-duty distribution operations but also to regional distribution, even with a semi-trailer, or as a powerful medium-heavy fire truck, to name just a few areas where the new FE truck became well accepted.
FE - forward control cab economy
The 'FE42' designation stood for 'Forward control cab, Economy, 4x2 axle configuration', but in general the truck was regularly known as the 'FE' for short. After some time, however, a stronger 'FE64' version was presented, mainly for use as a semi-trailer tractor. This featured three axles and tandem drive.
Normally the FE truck was equipped with a day cab, but a special longer sleeper cab was developed specifically for the American FE truck, which offered an extremely spacious interior area for a truck of this particular size.
The equipment
Mechanically the FE was based on either American components or Swedish Volvo-developed and produced components. The standard equipment was a 7-litre Volvo engine, but a 6,6 litre Caterpillar engine was also an option, at a slightly lower customer price.
The FE became quite popular but as the years went by customers showed a greater preference for Conventional trucks in the particular segments for which the FE was primarily intended. As a result, production of the FE42 and the FE64 was stopped in the mid 1990s.

What Would You Do? Part 4
Today's What Would You Do? is a little bit more personal than most. You guys are like legit my favorite people in the world and I want to know what you would do to some projects I am working on!!
Up first is the Industrial Work Lamp that I posted about yesterday. Since our eyes first met I have been on the fence about leaving it vs. changing it. While the brown isn't what I would necessarily choose I LOVE the character in it. In the pics it may look like chippy paint but it actually is a few spots where it was filed down, like it was on someone's work bench and they used it to dull a file a little before they went to work. It makes me happy to look up and see it. So what would you do? Paint it? Leaf it? Leave it? I looked it up online to find out the value (its a Dazor Floating Fixture #602) and while they are going for $60-$100 I think its in fairly poor shape (because of the filing) and wouldn't be worth much. So I am not opposed to busting out the spray paint.
I am doing a really fun segment on Studio 5 that will air on March 1st (mark your calendars!) called What Would Mandi Do? As you can tell by the title I am handing out decorating advice like its candy. One lucky viewer is actually getting an update. Check out this fireplace that Sierra shared with us:
It has an AMZING story behind it (that you will have to wait until the segment airs to hear about) but I am headed over today to work on it and make it super Mandilicious. I have a $100 budget (so keep that in mind!) What would you do to it?
Weigh in below, I love hearing your ideas!!

Is there such a thing as a vacuum operated sump pump? Most sumps or ejector pumps leave a column of water above the check valve, and leave a few centimeters of water in the sump beside.
I have a need to install two sumps where this is undesirable. The first is a graywater ejection system where it is better not to 'store' the water.
The second is a place that gets wet 4-5 times per year. I currently vacuum this up with a shop vac leaving the area totally dry. If I place a sump instead, the sump (sealed or not) will have standing water much longer.
I am aware of water powered emergency backup lifters (e.g. RB-750 from RadonSeal -- 1 gallon in lifts 2 gallons out).

Graduate Snapshot - Assessment and Measurement
Description of Program:
The focus of the assessment training in the Ph.D. program is on the design of program assessment strategies, identification of appropriate existing and/or construction of new assessment measures/methods, empirical analysis of aggregate data, appropriate use of assessment results, and effective communication of assessment to a variety of audiences. Moreover, with the extensive background in measurement theory provided, the graduates of this Ph.D. program are trained as experts in assessment, enabling them to enter the field equipped with a knowledge base that extends far beyond the pragmatic aspects of implementing assessment strategies. Although the program focuses on applications of assessment and measurement in higher education, students can apply many of the skills and knowledge gained in the program to assessment and measurement in K-12 education as well as to the health care and business sectors. Students are not trained to perform psychological assessment of individuals for clinical diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, as training in this concentration revolves around the design and improvement of methods to measure program effectiveness.The Ph.D. program in assessment and measurement adheres to a practitioner-scientist, applied model of graduate training, built on a solid theoretical base in scientific psychology. The program integrates selected, major pedagogical foundations of psychology, assessment and applied experience. The training model is further designed to capitalize on the previous educational and professional experiences and training of incoming students to expand, strengthen and supplement these skills.
Degrees Offered: Doctor of Philosophy in Assessment and Measurement (Ph.D.)
Concentration: None

"last Sunday was new snow blown to the right side of the mountain, making it a great day"
"with 19" the past three days wasn't that hard to find fresh powder stashes in the upper glades "
"Sure the snow report probably rounded up, but there was plenty of powder to go around on the upper mountain today. Fresh tracks in the woods and no lift lines. A reward to those who remained committed all winter"
"The ski report can be misleading. Snow in the past 48 hours is 4" and has been blown everywhere. It's time to close the book on a lousy winter... Better luck next year"

Giving it up for "The Sixth Borough" and MilkBoy
We'd like to be the first to decree the NYC-Philly rivalry over and done with. You know what? We've always loved Philadelphia, not just for its history but for its constantly leading culture and cuisine—and we especially love that it's such a short trip from Ozone Park to a whole other world.
On this note, we couldn't be more thrilled to have entered a partnership in bringing our coffee to Philly with one of the city's most influential leaders in both culture and coffee, and folks we've been friends with for a long time, MilkBoy.
Established in first as a recording studio in North Philly, MilkBoy's empire today includes a spacious cafe on the Main Line in Ardmore, a bar, restaurant and live music venue in Philly's city center, as well as the renowned recording studio. And we all know music people "get" coffee more than anyone else—so who better to lead a killer coffee program than the guys who lead a killer music venue?
We went down to Philly to check out both MilkBoy cafes (okay—one portrays the outward appearance of a bar, but where else can you drink a wonderfully crafted espresso and a YuengLing from 7:00am until after midnight?) and tour some of the city's other amazing cafes and pop-ups, like Ultimo Coffee, Odd Fellows, Shot Tower, One Shot and Rival Bros. After spending another fun day cruising Philly, we at Dallis Bros. feel honored to be part of bringing coffee to this great town—and great coffee town.
So next time you're in the City of Brotherly Love, sidle up to the bar on Chestnut Street for a great espresso or single origin coffee, grab a bite and a beer, and stay for a great band upstairs. And if you want to kick back, head out to Ardmore, where our coffees are crafted on a beautiful La Marzocco GB5 machine in a sunny, warm room full of big-city-small-community charm. And much as we love our own city where we've roasted coffee for 99 years—you'll see right away what we love about Philly—because MilkBoy is a coffee (and so much more) company all about loving Philly too.

WEIRTON - For more than 60 years, Greco Plumbing has been among the mainstay businesses of the Weirton community.
Brought to Weirton in 1950 by brothers Joe, John and Victor Greco, the business originally had been located in Fairmont and started by their father, Domenico. They also started Greco TV Cable in the community.
For 50 years, the three brothers owned and operated Greco Plumbing before handing the reins over to the next generation.

"We've been at it for quite a while," Jim Greco, Victor's son and the company's president, said.
Jim Greco joined the family business in 1985.
Greco Plumbing can be contacted at (304) 748-8484.
Among their services today, Greco Plumbing specializes in water heaters; water, sewer and gas line repairs and installations; kitchen, bath and laundry room repairs and new installations.
"We specialize in all plumbing services and aspects. We do all types of work," Jim said. "We have a staff that can take care of all of it."
The staff at Greco Plumbing are licensed, insured master plumbers, he said.
Greco explained their goal is to continue to provide their customers with honest, reliable, dependable and quality plumbing services.
Greco Plumbing was located at 3217 Main St. for 25 years before moving to 3924 Main St. The 2004 flooding of the Weirton community forced them to move to a warehouse facility.
For several years, Greco Plumbing has been named as the best plumber by readers of The Weirton Daily Times as part of the annual Readers' Choice contest.

As far as I know, Cloud computing might be a evolution in software architect, and it will replace some current architectures, such as client-server.
These two architecture seem to share similarities for me (I know very little about both), but I don't know the differences between them. What are the cons and pros of cloud computing over client-server architecture?
Thank you so much.

Does anybody know a font on Google Fonts that is very similar to Helvetica Neue?
That's the thing about Helvetica, there isn't really anything quite like it. We are talking about one of the (if not the) most beautiful font in existence.
You could settle for Open Sans or Source Sans Pro but it won't be the same. But you probably already know that as there are only 121 fonts to choose from.
Arimo (see samples above and below) is identical to Liberation Sans (suggested by Yisela) and available from Google Fonts.
The following font stack includes Arimo and suppresses the substitution of Arial for Helvetica on Windows machines and WebKit browsers, but otherwise puts the most Helvetica-Neue-like fonts first:
For further explanation, including the advantage of inserting "Microsoft Sans Serif" ahead of "Liberation Sans" for large non-italic headings, see "A multiplatform Helvetica-like font stack that suppresses Arial".
The choice between Arimo (above) and Roboto (suggested by DavidO) is a matter of taste. Roboto loads slightly faster, but Arimo doesn't need to load at all if Liberation Sans is installed. As both Arimo and Roboto are Google fonts, there's no point in using one as a fallback for the other.
It's not in Google fonts (I think), but the .ttf can easily be converted for @font-face. I find Liberation Sans really beautiful. Plus it renders REALLY well in most browsers, and it's free for personal and commercial use:
I just tried the "Roboto" font and it seems OK:

This is perfect, the other day I tried to mash some rice into a small ball and totally failed.
@pleepleus: Did you mix the rice with rice wine vinegar, salt, and sugar first? Nigiri isn't made with plain rice. You also need to use the right kind of rice.
You can buy seasoned rice wine vinegar, which already includes the sugar and salt, if you don't want to make your own.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The woman charged in a Topeka double murder case was bound over for trial Monday morning.
The preliminary hearing for former Topeka woman Dana Chandler, charged with two counts of first degree murder continued with closing statements Monday morning.
The defense rested its preliminary case on Thursday night.
Thursday's Update: The lead agent in a double murder case took the stand Thursday, the first witness called by the Dana Chandler defense.
The state rested its case against Chandler Wednesday.
She's charged with killing Karen Harkness and Mike Sisco back in
2002. The two were shot a total of twelve times.
Thursday lead TPD detective Richard Volle testified that there was no
hair, fibers or DNA recovered from the murder scene showing Chandler pulled the trigger.
Wednesday's Update: A former friend of defendant Dana Chandler took the stand against her Wednesday morning in day three of a preliminary hearing in the double murder case.
Jeff Bailey testified that Chandler contacted him in 2002, asking for $50,000 for attorney fees, because she thought she'd soon be arrested for the murders.
Bailey said Chandler told him she'd gone on a camping trip alone the weekend of the murders, but had no receipts to prove it.
An FBI crime analyst also testified that Chandler made rapid phone calls to the victims in 2002, once calling Sisco 22 times in 31 minutes.
The Shawnee County Deputy Coroner revealed that Harkness was shot 5 times, Sisco was shot 7 times.
A neighbor of Harkness said she saw a car matching Chandler's in her neighborhood the night of the murders.
Tuesday's Update: The children of a murdered Topeka man took the stand Tuesday, testifying against their own mother, who's charged with the killing.
The preliminary hearing for Dana Chandler continued Tuesday. She's charged with killing her ex-husband Mike Sisco, and his girlfriend Karen Harkness in 2002.
The kids said Tuesday their mother was obsessed with their father, and often stalked him.
Daughter Haley Sisco also testified that her mom had told her she thought about killing her father.
A forensic psychologist took the stand late Tuesday morning to testify on his evaluation of chandler's obsessive behavior.
Monday's Update: More than ten witnesses for the prosecution took the stand Monday, eight of them were Topeka Police officers, who described finding the victims in a basement bedroom of the home at 2231 SW Westport Sq., in July 2002.
Six large evidence bags were also wheeled into the Shawnee County courtroom, that included spent she'll casings, bed sheets, and a bloodied comforter collected from the murder scene.
One TPD officer testified that he matched a coffee cup found at murder scene to one from the Kickapoo truck stop. He said he found the victims on a security tape at both the truck stop and the Sac & Fox Casino. Witnesses say there was no one following the victims, Harkness and Sisco, at either place.
A TPD officer also said he searched the victims' computers. He said he didn't know whether there was correspondence from defendant on them.
Chandler's defense attorney, Mark Bennett, says there was no DNA evidence from chandler at the murder scene. Investigators say they never found the murder weapon.
Harkness' father, Harold Worswick, took the stand Monday evening, and testified to Chandler's threatening behavior. He said Chandler acted inappropriately toward Sisco, and had their family on edge all the time because he said they were never sure what Chandler would do next.
13's Suzie Gilbert has been in court all week, and will be following the hearing as it continues.

Talking to Kids About Layoffs
In This Article:
You may be wondering what impact all this has on your kids. While they may not understand the finer points of the current economic climate (who among us does?), it's safe to say that your kids are absorbing the gloomy forecasts from the news and adults' conversations. With layoffs affecting workers in all industries, it's quite reasonable for kids to pick up on adult fears. You can help to put their minds at ease by talking to them about your own situation, and preparing for the worst to happen.
Be the Grown-Up
Whether your children are concerned about troubling economic news, or you're currently dealing with unemployment, what kids want to hear is much the same message. "They want reassurance," says Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance and author of Raising Money-Smart Kids. "They want you to be the grown-up."
Being the grown-up means having a plan in place for dealing with unemployment. "Kids ask, 'Will we have food on the table? Will we have a roof over our heads?' You need to anticipate those questions and have answers for them," Bodnar says.
Trim Your Budget
First, make sure you gird yourself financially for the months ahead. Ideally, you've already got several months' living expenses saved up to cover such an emergency. You should also be ready to cut costs. The most important thing, according to Bodnar, is to take action immediately. "You need to be proactive. You can't depend on other people to do this for you."
This can even be a teachable moment, as you go through your budget, line by line, to trim the fat. Bodnar advises that you share with your kids what financial decisions you're making. "It's best to put it in the context of your monthly expenses: 'We have to cover the mortgage, the car loan; these other expenses are expendable. We'll be cutting back on vacation, going out for dinner, and other discretionary things.' It's a good lesson for kids," she says. Giving younger kids a sense of the big picture is fine, while teens can benefit from hearing some of the details. You could even share with them the specific expenses you'll have to cover every month. Letting your kids know what the plan is will reassure them - and it just may reassure you, too.

NumericAxis max min
I noticed that the NumericAxis getMaximum() and getMinimum() values return NaNs unless I explicitly set them by hand via setMaximum() setMinimum(). Is there any way to get the internally calculated max and min values when I let it autoscale? I am using NumericAxis for both the x and y-axes for a scatter plot. Also when setting the min max via setMaximum() setMinimum(), it seems like sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't: sometimes the max min will be correctly reset, and at other times the scaling will not change depending on the numbers chosen. It seems like it is having a difficult time deciding on the number of steps and the tick spacing. Also it seems the algorithm sometimes returns strange spacings such as multiples of 3 or some decimal. Ideally the steps should always be a multiple of 1,2,5,10, etc and also going the other way, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, etc...
24 Jul 2012 4:48 PM #2
To get the calculated start and end values you can use getFrom() and getTo(). As to your second comment in 3.0.1 if you do not like the default intervals there will be an interval option on NumericAxis.
