The 6 Dumbest Mistakes of Supposedly Smart Movie Characters
#3. The Fugitive -- Dr. Richard Kimble Forgets That He Lent the Murderer His House Keys
In The Fugitive, Dr. Richard Kimble (played by Harrison Ford's bearded variant) is wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife but escapes on his way to prison thanks to an awesome train/bus accident. He goes on the run, trying to avoid capture while tracking down the real killer, a one-armed man who bizarrely overpowered both him and his wife.
"Wow, he must jerk off a lot."
The problem is, the police have no evidence that the other killer even exists (which is baffling considering that Kimble battles the guy in his foyer before the cops arrive and he has one goddamned arm, how hard can he be to find?), and there were no signs of forced entry into Kimble's home on the night of the murder, a fact the good doctor couldn't explain (which is why he wound up convicted of the murder).
The Big Twist:
In the end, Kimble finds out that the murderer was sent to kill him by his friend and colleague Dr. Charles Nichols (we assume he got some kind of discount by hiring a one-armed assassin). It was all because of an unsafe drug Kimble was about to blow the whistle on (or something).
In the original script, it all stemmed from his jealousy of Kimble's dope beard.
But How Did He Not See This Coming?
Remember the thing about there being no forced entry into the house? Well, Kimble lent his house keys to Nichols earlier that day. Since the whole "the killer had a set of keys" thing was kind of crucial to the investigation (it's what made Kimble a suspect, after all), you'd think he would have made the connection.
Now, we aren't saying that the fact that Nichols had free access to the Kimble residence immediately makes him the killer, but had Kimble simply mentioned to the police that he'd lent Nichols his house keys, that bit of information would've been enough to at least add Nichols to the list of suspects. Once that happened, it probably wouldn't take the cops very long to figure out that Nichols knew a sketchy one-armed man and had contacted him several times in the weeks preceding the murder. After some email transcripts revealed that their conversations focused mainly on the best methods of removing the skull fragments of other people's wives from beneath your fingernails, the case would've been pretty well closed, and Kimble would've been spared a whole lot of running away from Tommy Lee Jones.
"Next time I'm just going to shoot you in the dick and call it a day."
Instead, Kimble either forgot about it entirely or didn't think it was worth bringing up the entire time he was on trial for murder, right up until he was given the freaking death penalty. You'd think he'd have had plenty of time to think about it while sitting in jail.
#2. Limitless -- The Man With the Superhuman Brain Forgets to Pay Back the Terrifying Loan Shark
Limitless stars Bradley Cooper as a washout writer named Eddie Morra who lives in a shitty apartment run by a terrifyingly aggressive Asian lady. About 20 minutes into the film, Eddie discovers a drug called NZT that gives him unrestricted access to every piece of information he's ever stored in his brain, even if it was only in there for a second. This apparently makes him Thought Superman, and he solves every single problem in his life in a series of montages, because that's how drugs work.
We'd call this scene bullshit, but the career of Hunter S. Thompson says otherwise.
Eddie then goes to an Eastern European loan shark for some quick cash. With his NZT mind lasers, he is able to use that money to become stupefyingly rich on the stock market, which we're pretty sure is the only time in history anyone has ever become a stock-trading super baron after shoving dangerously unregulated drugs into their face.
The Big Twist:
Eddie comes home one day to find that -- holy shit! -- the loan shark is demanding repayment of his money. In the course of the confrontation, the loan shark winds up with the super brain drug, and now Eddie has a big-brained enemy who makes his life hell for the rest of the film, nearly driving Eddie to suicide.
"Who could have predicted that life choices based on drug abuse and criminal involvement could turn out so bad?"
But How Did He Not See This Coming?
Wait a second. Despite the fact that his veins are coursing with the mind-flexing drug of the future that makes you remember everything ever (possibly even events in other people's lives that you didn't even witness), it somehow slips Eddie's mind to pay the loan shark back? It's not like he didn't have the money -- he is literally the most rapidly successful man in history at this point in the film. Eddie has written his dream novel, made a fortune on Wall Street, and become the personal financial adviser to one of the most powerful men in the country.
The $100,000 Eddie owes the loan shark is like peanuts now, plus he has the memory of a mythological deity -- why the hell wouldn't he pay off the loan? Instead, he lets his face get plastered all over the news under the headline "Handsome Billionaire" while Crazy Russian Scarface gets to stand around leering like a hideous ogre, wondering when the fuck he's going to get his money back.
"I should go pay him back, but it's not like these sits are going to up themselves."
The film ends with a permanently drugged Eddie about to become a senator, with eyes on becoming president. It's played like a happy ending, but the guy seems like a shoo-in to immediately forget where he left the nuclear launch codes.
#1. Watchmen -- Dr. Manhattan Forgets That He Can See the Past
As Watchmen draws to a close, and you attempt to pound circulation back into your legs, Ozymandias reveals that he has siphoned energy from Dr. Manhattan (the dong-swinging omnipotent superman) to stage atomic-level blasts in major cities across the globe. By framing Dr. Manhattan as an unpredictable (and indestructible) threat to the entire world, he brings an end to the Cold War, saving us all from total annihilation at our own hands.
However, Rorschach doesn't cotton to this idea, seeing as how Ozymandias murdered millions of people to pull it off, and he vows to bring the truth to light. However, before Rorschach can leave Ozymandias' snow palace to spread the word, Dr. Manhattan blows him up like a jelly doughnut in a decompression chamber, thus preserving Ozymandias' lie and keeping the world united and safe from nuclear war.
Satan's answer to snow angels.
The Big Twist:
Except at the end we find out that Rorschach had already mailed his journal, which we see in the hands of the news media just as the credits roll, implying that his batshit insane version of events will be both entertained and accepted by all who hear it. Dr. Manhattan's plan to go along with Ozymandias' plan was foiled by a guy who isn't as smart as either of them.
"At least I was smart enough to understand the concept of pants."
But How Did He Not See This Coming?
Wait. This is Dr. Manhattan here. That is, the godlike being who can see through time and space.
True, Ozymandias created a tachyon field (comic book science) that blocked Dr. Manhattan from seeing the future, but he should've still been able to see the past at least marginally clearer than the scrambled porn struggling through the blocked channels on your parents' television. If he was so intent on preserving Ozymandias' plan, why wouldn't he check the past to make sure nobody did exactly what Rorschach did to jeopardize it? That's just like proofreading your work, man. You're supposed to be a doctor.
"Hey, it's not like I have all the time in the wor- oh, wait ..."
If Dr. Manhattan had taken half a second of his infinite lifespan to scan the sands of time, he would've noticed Rorschach dropping his gibbering scribbles in the mail and could have done one of a million different things to "correct" it (teleport to the newspaper office and vaporize the journal, turn the journal into a chicken, etc.), because ultimate power is pretty flexible. Instead, after voicing his agreement with Ozymandias' logic and killing a fellow superhero to keep the plan a secret, Dr. Manhattan gives it absolutely no more thought and beams off to another galaxy, never to return.

I don't have any rule books to read and the last rule book I had was dnd 2e, but this question came up at lunch today at work. Is it possible to place live objects in a bag of holding. For instance, say I wanted to smuggle my dwarf friend into a building. Could I place him in the bag of holding, carry him into the building and then retrieve him? What about a creature. Maybe I would like to take a rabbit into a building that has a no rabbit policy. I can't just chain him up to the rail outside. So could he be placed in a bag of holding?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
As long as the creature is 200# or less and less than 20 cubic feet in volume.
I believe it is currently undefined as to the air requirements of a living creature so if you're going to keep them in the bag for a longer length of time, you'll need a ruling from your DM.
I don't think there are official rules on this, so I think you're going to have to ask your DM.
If I were the DM, I'd say
Yes, but...
A Bag of Holding only holds 20 cubic feet. That's not a 20x20x20 cube. That's a 2.71 foot cube. A rabbit would fit, but your dwarf friend might have difficulty squeezing into a space that small.
For reference, a standard coffin is 84"x28"x23" or 31.3 cubic feet. Could you fit into two thirds of a coffin?
Another thing to consider is that this is a bag, not a sack, so the size of the opening could be a factor - another thing for your DM to decide.
There's also the issue of how long you could survive inside the bag. Mythbusters did an experiment on being buried alive. Jamie, during the dry run, was able to remain calm and composed and lasted about 50 minutes before starting to run out of air.
Using that as a baseline, we can figure out how long a creature would survive in the bag based on it's mass. I don't want to get too mathy here (hit me up in chat if you're interested), but assuming a dwarf is about as dense as a human and has an average weight of 190 lb, the dwarf could last about 29.3 minutes before exhausting the oxygen supply in the bag. Per Starving, Thirst and Suffocation add another 3 minutes or so for a grand total of ~32.3 minutes before your dwarf buddy suffocates (unless of course he's got a Ioun Stone of Sustenance).
The rabbit would obviously last longer, but I don't know the average mass, density, and oxygen consumption rate of a rabbit to do the calculations.
Absolutely. You should check the capacity of the bag though. A Deep-Pocket cloak holds 100 cubic feet or 1000 pounds of stuff, but each compartment of the cloak is limited to 10 pounds. So it holds most rabbits, but no full grown dwarf would fit in there. I'm not sure if bags of holding have similar restrictions.
Also, if they're going to be in the bag a while, you'll probably want 4e's equivalent of this: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Bottle_of_Air
Since there's a ritual (Self holding bag) for folding the bag into itself and putting it into an extradimensional space pocket, I doubt much anything so mundane as holding living beings is off limits. As Pat said, the only limit is what fits in weight or volume.
You can, and most answers assume that once inside your living being would begin to use up air until they suffocated.
I believe this only happens if you close the bag. If you leave the bag partially open, your being would be able to stay inside indefinitely assuming they have food and drink and don't poison it with their biological waste.
The description of the Bag of Holding handles this directly. As long as a living creature can fit within the space of the bag and doesn't exceed the weight limit (doing either causes the bag to rupture) they can survive within the bag and have 10 minutes worth of air.
They wouldn't immediately die after 10 minutes, but would need to start rolling saves to avoid suffocating.

suppose I got a projective camera model. for this model I would like to back-project a ray through a point in the image plane. I know that the equation for this is the following: $$ y(\lambda) = P^+_0 x_0 + \lambda c_0 $$ where $P^+_0$ denotes the pseudoinverse of the camera matrix. $x_0$ the point on the image plane and $c_0$ the center of the camera.
Now I don't fully get this equation. I get that $P^+_0 x_0$ results in a point on the line we are looking for. Hence we have two points that we can use for constructing a line. However I don't get the parametrization using $\lambda$. Why is the equation not in the form like: $$y(\lambda) = (1-\lambda) a + \lambda b$$
Any help in understanding the original equation of the resulting ray would be appreciated! :D

It is well known that a SQUID can detect an extremely small magnetic flux.
What if the flux is time-dependent? E.g. a slow varying sinusoidal magnetic flux
$$\Phi=\Phi_0\sin(\omega t).$$
Can I still perform a real time measurement of the slow varying flux considering the induced EMF?
By "slow" I mean $\omega$ is smaller than Josephson frequency (AC Josephson effect due to the EMF).

Mmmm! Now that is some good ol' fashioned southern cooking...vegan style! Looks delicious!
This looks so good - I buy it in the store but it makes sense to do it like this if you can. Wonderful.
A chef's best tool is a very sharp knife.
chow vegan,
This time 'round I bought mesquite chips--picked them up at the local grocery store.
ummm i just found this out too but A1 is not vegan. it ha worcestershire sauce in it.
According to the website, the ingredients are: TOMATO PUREE (WATER, TOMATO PASTE), DISTILLED VINEGAR, CORN SYRUP, SALT, RAISIN PASTE, CRUSHED ORANGE PUREE, SPICES AND HERBS, DRIED GARLIC AND ONION, CARAMEL COLOR, POTASSIUM SORBATE (TO PRESERVE FRESHNESS), XANTHAN GUM. (http://www.kraftfoods.com/a1/products)
That is the U.S. website. I can't find any ingredient info on the Canadian site.
I love smoked tofu, but don't buy it very often because it's quite pricey for a small block. Your homemade version looks so easy, I would love to give it a try. Thanks for the great idea!
Shelby: Try freezing the tofu for about 24 hours, then thaw it in your fridge for another 24 hours. I know its a long time to wait but it makes tofu really firm, when you squeez or press the tofu, a ton of water comes out and it doesn't break and it soaks up a lot more flavor.
I have a question about grilling. I use wood-based charcoals, is that the same as the wood chips your talking about?
No. Smoking chips are not charcoal, they are chunks of dried wood that burn/smoke.
That looks amazing, you make it look so easy to smoke your own tofu!
That looks delicious! Is there any way to smoke tofu indoors for the college apartment bound?
I see Chow Vegan mentioned a "small indoor smoker" in the commment above. I have never seen/used such a device, but they obviously exist.
RE: The HP or A1 sauce -
Vegan or not, they are clearly not organic and have "funny" ing. in them...
So, I know you shared this before, but what is a good substitute for these?
Use your favourite BBQ sauce, or some vegan worchestershire sauce, or both. You just want to give the marinade a little flavour.
tofu mom,
yes, I have a gas grill. If you had a large enough charcoal grill you could make this method work.
These turned out GREAT!
We have an extra large gas grill, so next time, will put the tofu a bit closer to the wood chips (They were on opposite ends this time)
The vegan Worcestershire worked well in place of the HP.
Looks interesting. Personally, I'm a devoted carnivore, but I still love tofu--and barbecue--and I'm having a cookout this weekend at which some guests will be veggies. I'm gonna try your marinade, but I'm also going to deep fry the tofu first, as fat takes smoke very well. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks.
Actually you can smoke tofu indoors. Both my mother and brother are vegan so I've become a vegan meat hybrid lol. For my brother who is in college I showed him a hot bate method of smoking using a wok so he can do this in a dorm room. Look up wok smoked fish on Google and follow the instructions. Super easy and dorm friendly!!! Good luck!

I have mutant-wide feet and it's generally impossible to find comfortable shoes for any occasion. For the most part my only options in life are New Balance. I'm cycling a lot lately and would like to take advantage of cleats. So, does anybody actually manufacture 4E shoes? I'd rather not try stretching them out with mink oil/boiling water/wooden shoe stretchers and the pain from narrow shoes can be pretty excruciating. My google-fu is coming up with a few dozen forum discussions with no real solutions.

Sidi make a wide fitting version of their shoes.
I have a pair of Sidi's and they have been the best fitting, most comfortable shoes I've ever found. From their website:
Possibly still not wide enough for your needs but they're worth checking out.
Yes, D2 Shoes will make you a custom extra-wide shoe.
Good info on the D2 Shoes website. 41 sizes, 9 widths available. $975 price tag is tough, but looks like D2 Shoes will manufacture you an extra wide road or mountain shoe.
The widest off the shelf bicycle shoe I could find is the Shimano SH-M087GE Mountain Bike Shoes. The GE version is a wide version of the regular SH-M087G.
I found a cheap pair of shoes from Specialized that are awesome for wide feet. The Tahoe From Specialized. Note: this isn't a 'competitive' shoe; it's classified as recreational. I ride a hybrid for fitness, and I wear 10.5 US 4E New Balances when I buy athletic shoes. I paid $85 from a retailer but I think you can get them cheaper.
The shoe works because of the construction. They're built like Keen or Merrell sandals, meaning they wrap around your foot in a basket-like construction. It's not a sandal though, in that the sides of the shoe have strips of leather and nylon that flex around the toe box.(don't know if I'm using the right terms) Again, I'm a fitness rider, and I need a versatile shoe for commutes and long rides. And I've been wearing them on long rides for two weeks without any pain. These have a pop-out section on the forefoot to accomodate a clip if you want to install one.
I have 4E feet and the only shoes that I have found that fit are Lake
Once met a guy who had had his shattered foot "reconstructed" with screws, etc, and it was about half-again as wide as his other foot. He was riding in custom-reconstructed cycling shoes. He told me that the cobbler took two regular bike shoes, cut them apart, and sewed them back together as one.
As I recall (it's been maybe eight years), the shoes had cleats, probably SPDs.
(Of course, I have no idea who did the work for him, but probably an outfit that does "orthopedic" shoes.)
It's also possible, if you have the tools and the inclination, to make your own from a pair of non-cycling shoes that already fit correctly. Ideally these should have a flattish outsole (so they don't catch on the pedals) which is also thick enough to recess the cleats.
You'll still ideally want the stiff insole from a cycling shoe (as here) to spread the pressure from the plate the cleats bolt onto. So, you need a donor cycling shoe whose sole isn't too narrow, but at least it doesn't need to fit around your feet for this to work.
You may also want to check out custom=made shoes from BONT. They aren't cheap though!

Boy Crazy (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
How to Date Like a Guy:
1. Flirt constantly.
2. Keep your options open.
3. Don't get attached.
Cassie and her two best friends, Greta and Keagan, are so over boyfriends. But just because the girls are anti-boyfriend doesn't mean they're anti-boy. So they make a pact for the summer: They'll each kiss ten different guys before school starts no commitments, no drama, just fun. Sounds easy enough. Then Cassie meets the perfect guy (nine boys too soon), and the pact starts to seem like a terrible idea. Not to mention Boy Number One turns out to be her best friend's ex. Ugh Cassie's summer just went from carefree to complicated faster than she can say "heartbreaker.

I'm familiar with the ideal gas law $$PV=nRT$$ but I don't think it applies to liquids like water. If I'm wrong, please correct me! If I'm right, then what equation of state applies to liquids such as water?
For all intents and purposes, you can use an incompressible equation of state:
$$ V = constant $$
That's it. No matter what pressure and temperature, you have the same volume. It's not completely true, but in relation to gasses it is true enough to make it that pressure work is negligible in liquids compared to gasses, and for liquids, you can just deal with the heat content without considering any work done in the expansions and contractions required to change temperature.
Supercritical fluids are well described by real and ideal gas laws.
A common equation of state for both liquids and solids is
$$V_m = C_1 + C_2 T + C_3 T^2 - C_4 p - C_5 p T$$
where $V_m$ is molar volume, $T$ is temperature, $p$ is pressure, and $C_1$, $C_2$, $C_3$, $C_4$, and $C_5$ are empirical constants, all positive and specific to each substance.
The Peng & Robinson equation of state has been found to be useful for both liquids and real gasses:
$$p = \frac{RT}{V_m - b} - \frac{a(T)}{V_m (V_m + b) + b (V_m - b)}$$
where $a$ and $b$ are empirical constants and $R$ the ideal gas constant.
To add just a bit to Ron Maimon's answer, the fact is that we do not have anything like a general equation of state for liquids. They are simply too complex for present day techniques.
We can do a bit better for solids since solids have an idealized crystalline form. But even there solids are very complex.
But don't fret. The situation isn't too much better for real gases, especially around the critical point.
Accurate equations of states (EOS) for real gases, liquids, or solids are (in contrast to nice theoretical models such as an ideal gas or debye solid) quite complex, and must be fitted to experimental data.
For example, a very accurate equation of state for water and steam can be found in
But the water EOS is not very intelligible, except for a computer.

I know of a few online retailers that specialise in out-of-print (OOP), second-hand, and original editions of RPG books and accessories. Let's make a definitive list of them!

eBay has always been my source.
Noble Knight Games carries OOP stuff, but the prices are premium, and things are not always in-stock.
The Acaeum (OOP collectors' site) has a valuable Classifieds board.
And to a lesser extent, Classifieds at Dragonsfoot.org.
I bought them there because it was the cheapest place I could find my books. Surprisingly they arrived sooner than when I ordered some other books to Amazon. That was some time ago and I was at Mexico, but I keep this link as my favorite place for used books.
For used used books I usually start at abebooks.com which is an aggregate collection of used booksellers across the country.
Here's the results for 'Dungeons & Dragons' first edition published by TSR before 1990.
Troll and Toad is a second-hand and first-hand dealer that carries out-of-print and recent products.
If you have any used book shops nearby give them a try. I've actually found quite a few original D&D and AD&D accessories at some in VA and MD.
Within Ebay look for the CrazyEgor store. He specializes in want lists, so you can send him titles you're looking for. He'll keep your contact info if he doesn't have it on hand now, and let you know when it's available. He knows what his stuff is worth.
When you use ABEBOOKS.Com or Bookfinder.Com it pays to search loosely, as not all those offering second hand material bother to enter the entire author name, or check the spelling on titles. In "classic" format [look below the top screen], it will rank the books it finds in ascending order by price.
It is a French store, but they have a lot of English material as well.
They have plenty of second hand books and they are also specialized in massive discount for discontinued games or bankrupted editors. (Lot's of brand new D&D3.5 and 4 books around 10€ for example). They are also dealing CCG and boardgame.
Very nice store for filling holes in collections and to find some second hand rarities.
I don't know the foreign delivery prices and conditions. Since there is an English version of the site I guess they are shipping abroad.
Amazon, stil has some 3.0/3.5 d&d material.
RPG Geek is an RPG database, and the user features are mostly about listing your collection, but it's also useful for coordinating sales and trades. People can mark items in their collection for sale or trade, and you can add items to your "want to buy" or "want for trade" lists.
I find that local Half Price Books is an excellent source and I've also used Paperback Swap to find a few books as well.
The ASGI RPG Store (www.asgi.co.uk) has a reasonable stock of items and I've bought a few things from there (1st Ed) with no problems - usually pretty quick delivery and response to e-mails.
Prices slightly higher than individual seller eBay auctions but lower than most of the eBay buy it nows, plus you don't have to wait for someone to list a particular item - it's just from stock.
Sentry Box is pretty good. Remember, the prices on amazon are WRONG.

Automation: Filling the gap between narrow aisle and AS/RS
February 21, 2012 - MMH Editorial
For the last couple of years, AGVs and mobile robots have been getting all the automation love. Who doesn't get a kick from watching those Kiva vehicles shuttle around the floor at ProMat and Modex. Better yet, there have been exciting new developments around trailer loading and unloading AGVs along with the introduction of automatic lift trucks. While end users are still figuring out how these technologies fit in their operations, they could make significant inroads in automating receiving and shipping docks.
Less noticed have been the innovations around automated storage and retrieval. Look closely at some of the solutions on display at the shows, and you see technologies that fill the gap between narrow-aisle storage and a fully automated mini-load or unit load AS/RS.
One of the first examples I saw was the AutoStore solution from Swisslog at the North American show back in 2009. The technology uses mobile carts that ride atop rails to deliver products to and from a storage unit. You can watch a YouTube Video here.
Earlier this month, I visited two booths at Modex that highlighted two other takes on automated unit load storage. Both were designed to work as semi- or fully-automated solutions and to work in otherwise conventional warehouses rather than high-bay warehouses.
The first was from Power Automation Systems, or PAS. The solution uses vertical lifts and automated carts to store pallets in storage racks. You can watch a YouTube Video here.
The second was automated storage with an Italian flair from Smoov. The system uses radio controlled carts that can move in multiple axis to make the most of pallet storage. As with the PAS system, a pallet can be inducted into the system with a conveyor and vertical lift or by a lift truck dropping it off at the right level. From there, the cart takes over the putaway and retrieval duties. Depending on the layout of the racks, the carts can move forward and backward but also side to side. You can watch a YouTube Video of the solution in action here.
As with some of the new developments coming out of the AGV market, these solutions aren't right for every operation. And, as with automated lift trucks, it's still an open question as to whether end users will embrace them. But with the current focus on labor costs, productivity improvements and incentives to invest in capital equipment, they appear to be worth a second look.
Modex 2012: Smoov automated storage solution introduced at Modex
Smoov ASRV (Booth 4109), an Italian company specializing in the design and manufacture of automation systems for storage and handling, introduced a new automated storage system using storage vehicles that can maneuver pallets on the X,Y and Z axis.
Modex 2012: Swisslog introduces new products, announces new projects
In a press conference yesterday, Swisslog (Booth 3105) unveiled the SmartCarrier automated goods-to-person picking system with carriers that are not restricted to only one per storage array level.

Tuesday's letters: Not above reproach
Published: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 4:46 p.m.
To the editor: I attended the Sept. 9 Henderson County Board of Education meeting. The board was prepared for push back regarding the superintendents pay raise.
The meeting was stacked with supporters of the board (i.e., the head of the Democrat Party told the board the Democrat Party will support it, teacher assistants gave the board accolades, and a resident with a union affiliation trashed Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. Chuck McGrady).
Board members were individually asked if they had access to a computer. Board member Rick Wood, smugly, refused to answer. They all have access to a computer yet they cannot be individually contacted. Other state and federal elected officials can be contacted by email. Board member Mary Louise Corn stated that she is in the phone book. Andrew Riddle was told by the boards lawyer the members did not need to answer his question.
It is obvious the board members think they are above reproach by the taxpayers of this community.
P. Pritchard Edmondson
Syrian slaughter
To the editor: Our media are so concerned about Vladimir Putin and Bashar Assad pulling one over on America but have no concern for the ongoing slaughter in Syria. We watch as surrounding countries receive hundreds of thousands of destabilizing refugees, 1 million of them children whose futures have been stolen with the attendant disastrous consequences that entails for them.
Why cant we see that our own childrens futures are directly linked to the futures of these Syrian child refugees?
While the U.S. and Russia congratulate themselves for a peaceful solution to the issue of Syrias chemical weapons, the slaughter continues in Syria. But at least its not caused by those nasty chemical weapons, right? Nothing like being blown apart or maimed by bombs and bullets, right?
Tell that to our returning vets.
What difference the method of killing? More Syrians have been killed and are still being killed by sophisticated conventional weapons employed by the Assad military machine. And we in the West, living large off the largesse of our empire, breathe a sigh of relief, sit back in our sofas, and change the channel to watch our favorite mindless programs as thoughtless insouciance jollies our souls, with no regard for long-term consequences.
Richard Naylor
Carnival feeling
To the editor: Why were all the quality vendors absent from this years Apple Festival?
This year and last, the overall feeling is that of a carnival. Maybe our tourists enjoy this venue, but we locals are making a choice to not waste our time. If one wants a corn dog or a funnel cake, this is the place to be!
To those in charge, please bring back the quality vendors where we can shop for well-made unique offerings. Keep the carnival atmosphere at one end; bring back the talented artists at the other end!
JoAnne Rumford
Flat Rock
No credibility
To the editor: The president gave his Teleprompter a steely eyed look and said: We should act and then he asked Congress not to act until Secretary John Kerry got back from Switzerland. Huh? He doesnt really want a vote!
The time to act was a year ago, or 100,000 Syrian deaths ago. Leading from behind when you have no actual foreign policy is a terrible burden.
I dont think the president understands that his cover-up of the Benghazi scandal has damaged his credibility and made him a lame duck only nine months into his second term. He is becoming a lead weight around his partys neck.
This is bad for all of us. We need a strong president who will do what is right for all of us, not make every decision based on polls and politics.

Sweet Charity
They gathered to honor the work of their fellow philanthropists and to celebrate a publication that tells them where to be—and why. Yes, we're talking about the well-heeled givers who attended the Charity & Social Datebook Release Party at Harry Winston's glittering SCP boutique. The evening began with flutes of bubbly and conversation amid the shop. But the moment that made it all sparkle came when guests toasted the altruists whose efforts are unsurpassed on our shores—Elizabeth An, Paul and Marybelle Musco, Janet Nolet, Jennifer Segerstrom, Danni Sun and Wendy Tenebaum. For them, we'd raise our glasses any day. -Photos by Allen Bradley Photography

Given a multiset $S\subset [-1,1]^{n^2}$, we set $$m(S)=\min\vert \det(M)\vert$$ where the minimum is over all matrices with entries forming the multiset $S$ and $$a(n)=\max m(S)$$ where the maximum is over all multisets with $n^2$ elements in $[-1,1]$.
Obviously $a(2)=2$ by considering $S=\lbrace 1,1,1,-1\rbrace$.
I know nothing else (except for the trivial bounds $0 < a(n)\leq n^{n/2}$).
Even the computation of $a(3)$ (or of a good lower bound on $a(3)$) seems quite a feat to me.

If I accidentally favourite a tweet (which I do regularly in Tweetdeck for Android), then undo the favourite straight away, what does the original tweeter see when they view their interactions?
You can undo a favorite on a tweet, but depending on that user's notification settings, they'll know that you favorited the tweet in the first place. They might not care, then again they might.
At the Twitter website, track down the tweet (or see the tweets that you have favorited from your profile page) and click on "Undo favorite" (it's next to the "Retweet / Undo Retweet" link)
Favouring a tweet is really more for you than it is for the user of which tweet you've favoured, it's more easier if you look at it as bookmarking a web page, when you are favouring a tweet you are saying, I like this tweet and will want to see it again some time, favouring it then puts it in your favourites for later re-use. So to answer your question: un-favouring a tweet will do nothing for the owner of the tweet you favoured really, because they would already have got the notification, but for you the tweet will be deleted from your favourites.

BELTON (December 31, 2012)—A Monday morning roll over accident slowed traffic on the U.S. 190 and Interstate 35 flyover but all the occupants of the SUV involved escaped injury.
Police said traffic in the area was moving slowly as crews worked to clear debris from the crash.
There were four occupants in the SUV but none was injured, police said.
There was no word on just how the accident happened but police said a wet, slick roadway likely was a contributor.

I have a signed measure $\mu$ on a convex subset $C\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and I want to prove that $\mu$ is a probability measure, most importantly that it is positive everywhere.
I do know that $\int f(x)d\mu(x)\geq 0$ for any positive CONVEX function $f$. So if I could get this inequality for indicator functions I'd be done.
Do you know if this suffices to get that the measure is positive, or maybe have a counterexample?

When did the change of official name from Lactobacillus sanfrancisco to Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis happen? An answer ((to the exact day OR within a few days) AND the name of the conference at which it happened) would be appreciated.
Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis first shows up in pubmed in Gänzle et al. (1998). They reference Trüper and De'Clari (1997) for the name Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis. The latter say:
That issue of Int J Syst Bacteriol was published 1 July 1997, so I guess that's your date.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Mar. 3, 2010) -- Concussions are nothing to ignore. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says these brain injuries need more attention from coaches, parents and athletes. Of the estimated 4 million recreation-related concussions that occur in children age 5 to 18 each year, as many as 80 percent of the injuries go unrecognized. Of those, concussed athletes are often returned to practice or games, taking the chance for a second impact injury that could leave them hospitalized - or dead. High school athletes are at the greatest risk for serious injury and are a key focus of National Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month in March, 2010.
"Any trauma to the head is serious, but it's the teenage brain we worry about most. These athletes are bigger, they hit harder, and there's a tendency in high school athletics to ignore injuries and get back in the game to win at all costs," said Darrell Nesmith, MD, a physician in the Sports Medicine Plus program at the Adolescent Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Nesmith also is an associate professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine. "The majority of concussions occur at the high school level, and it's not uncommon for these athletes to return to the game sooner than they should." Nesmith says an average of 10 percent of high school athletes receive a concussion each season.
Second Impact Syndrome occurs when a second concussion occurs before the prior concussion has completely healed. Brain swelling or bleeding can lead to permanent brain injury or death. A second-impact injury, a secondary concussion that occurs before the brain has fully healed, can cause swelling of the brain, severe bleeding on the brain, permanent brain damage and even death. Most high schools don't have athletic trainers to help coaches identify the signs of a concussion: headache, nausea, imbalance, confusion, altered mental status, changes in vision or emotions. Symptoms of a concussion most often occur immediately after impact and may last days or weeks. The treatment of a concussion is rest until all symptoms have resolved followed by a gradual return to classroom activities and sports.
When coaches, parents or an athlete suspect a concussion, the athlete should immediately be removed from practice, evaluated by a physician or certified athletic trainer, and restricted from practice or games until the injury has healed. The 2009 college football season brought a great deal of attention to concussion injuries after University of Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy recipient Tim Tebow was forced to sit out because of a concussion. Some states have even passed laws that require concussed athletes to be cleared by a health professional before returning to the game. At the very least, educational training for coaches to help them identify the symptoms and dangers of a concussion is being encouraged nationwide.
Before athletes return to the game, they must first be able to return to school. Until the brain heals, a child with a concussion may have trouble concentrating on school work or comprehending what a teacher is saying. After several days or more of complete rest and symptoms have resolved, students may transition back to the classroom by attending school for half-days. Modifications to the classroom instruction and homework may be necessary before the student can return to a full-time schedule and work load.
"Focus on these students' cognitive recovery is the priority," said Nesmith. "Their ability to perform in the classroom is a key indicator of the healing that has taken place, or the healing that has yet to take place. Returning to sports comes last." Nesmith and the Sports Medicine team at the Adolescent Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital manage concussed children and athletes with a program used by the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the International Olympic Committee and scores of other national and collegiate sports-related organizations. The ImPACT® test is a clinical tool that helps determine a child's readiness to return to school and sports by evaluating their visual and auditory memory, reaction times and other domains
"Ideally, we perform baseline testing on the athletes we follow. If they get a concussion, we are able to compare their own baseline scores to post-injury scores to determine their cognitive function," said Nesmith. Athletes or children who are not tested for a baseline score can still undergo management for their concussion at the Adolescent Center, which evaluates patients from age 12 to 21. The majority of concussions are sports-related, occurring in football, basketball, soccer, wrestling and other sports. However, concussions can occur during any injury to the head, such as injuries on playgrounds, bicycle or automobile accidents and even falls. Blows to the body that cause the head to move back and forth also can result in a concussion. For athletes who face the possibility of repeated injury, the best practice is to sit it out if you suspect you may have a concussion. After all, it's better to miss a game than to miss a season - and it's better than missing the rest of your life.

I'm trying to use skype in ubuntu 11. But it fails. It seems something is wrong with my speak driver, how can i fix it? It's ok in Windows.
You can test your speakers in
Regarding sound issues the Ubuntu Wiki has a SoundTroubleshootingProcedure that checks in detail any issues regarding sound.
you can test it using gstreamer properties just press alt-F2 then enter
it should look like this just press test on default output
Also it is worth being aware that there is a tick box in your skypoe options box to stop skype messing up your sound options as well which if you are running pulse audio it sometimes does. I have found that deselecting the option here helps where it says Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels.

Further Information about Birmingham Schools
This page is known as: www.birmingham.gov.uk/school-information
School Uniform
Governing Bodies are responsible for deciding whether or not pupils should wear a school uniform. Parents should contact individual schools for details of the uniform policy and any sports kits. Generally school uniforms should be available in High Street shops and other retail outlets rather than from one supplier. Schools should offer arrangements so that no family feels unable to apply for admission on account of high uniform costs and details should be available from individual schools.
School Travel Expenses
If your child goes to a school more than three miles from your home (measured by the nearest available walking route), you may qualify for financial help to meet the cost of public transport to and from school.
Full details are given in the School Travel Service web page.
Home to School Measurements
Distances are calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between the applicant's home address and a point decided by the school. The local authority uses a computerised system, which measures all distances in metres. Ordnance Survey supplies the co-ordinates that are used to plot an applicant's home address within this system.
1 mile = 1.609 Kilometres (Km).
Walking to School
In recent years the number of children who are driven to school has steadily increased. This contributes to traffic congestion and air pollution. Less walking and cycling to school is affecting children's health and independence. Birmingham City Council is committed to encouraging more children to walk or cycle to school, or to catch the bus for longer distances.
School Meals
For many years the Authority has taken great pride in the meals available to pupils and provides options that take into account health, religion, medical and localised requirements as well as the latest government requirements for nutrition and reductions in salt, sugar and fat.
All secondary schools operate a cash cafeteria service that allows pupils to exercise choice in food eaten while enjoying a value for money meal. The price charged for school meals is reviewed each year in April.
Entitlement to free school meals
Schools must provide a free meal to those pupils whose parents / carers or pupils themselves receive benefits, subject to certain conditions. Anyone requiring more information about entitlement should visit the Free School Meals web pages and contact the school's headteacher or their nearest neighbourhood office.
School Term Dates
School term dates for the next two years are available on the School Term Dates page.
Contributions to School Funds and School Trips
There is no charge or cost related to the admission of a child to a school. Many schools operate a school fund to which they ask parents to contribute small sums. Such donations are entirely voluntary. The money collected in this way is used to pay for activities or to buy equipment that is not provided from the school budget.
School trips are an important part of school life and can contribute to the ethos of the school. Schools may ask parents for a voluntary contribution towards the cost of a school trip but may not charge for a trip which takes place in school hours or is part of the National Curriculum. Many schools offer help to those who are unable to afford the cost of school trips. Details are available from individual schools.
Education Welfare Service
The Education Welfare Service promotes the importance of regular school attendance for all children of compulsory school age. In addition, the service provides a wide range of help and advice to parents. Education Welfare Officers are in regular contact with schools and schools are aware of the times when their local Officer can be contacted.
More information is available from the Education Welfare Service page.
Specialist Support for Children with Learning Difficulties in Mainstream Education
We believe that children and young people with learning difficulties should be welcomed and educated in their local mainstream secondary school. This is where the majority of these children are educated. To meet the needs of children and young people in their local community benefits them both academically and socially.
If you as a parent, or the headteacher or a member of staff in your child's school, feel that your child has special educational needs and may require additional help, talk to the Special Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) at the school. The Special Needs Co-ordinator has regular contact with specialist teachers and psychologists who can work with the school to gain a better understanding of your child's learning needs and to develop teaching approaches that will meet them.
More information is available from the Sensory Support for SEN page.
Military Families
Birmingham Local Authority understands that families of UK Service personnel often have to move at short notice within the UK and from abroad. If we receive an In-Year application along with an official letter from the MOD, FCO or GCHQ stating a relocation date, then we will be able to arrange a school place in advance of the relocation. Please contact the School Admissions and Pupil Placements Service on 675 0555 for further advice.
Religion / Belief
The law requires all community, Academy, foundation, and voluntary aided schools without a religious character to provide Religious Education that fulfils the requirements of a locally agreed syllabus. For Birmingham schools this is the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education. Voluntary Aided Schools with a religious character normally follow a Diocesan syllabus or one agreed by the governing body.
Religious Education is intended for all pupils. However, parents have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of RE. This will need careful thought and discussion and parents are encouraged to discuss with Head teachers the Religious Education provision in the school.
All schools are also required to have collective worship for all pupils every day. This will follow a pattern agreed by the governors of the school. Collective worship is intended for all pupils. However parents also have the right to withdraw their child from collective worship.

Domestic Furnishings
Washboards, armchairs, lamps, and pots and pans may not seem to be museum pieces. But they are invaluable evidence of how most people lived day to day, last week or three centuries ago. The Museum's collections of domestic furnishings comprise more than 40,000 artifacts from American households. Large and small, they include four houses, roughly 800 pieces of furniture, fireplace equipment, spinning wheels, ceramics and glass, family portraits, and much more.
The Arthur and Edna Greenwood Collection contains more than 2,000 objects from New England households from colonial times to mid-1800s. From kitchens of the past, the collections hold some 3,300 artifacts, ranging from refrigerators to spatulas. The lighting devices alone number roughly 3,000 lamps, candleholders, and lanterns.

1839 Frances M. Jolly's Quilt Top
- Description
- The embroidered inscription "Frances M Jolly 1839" graces the center medallion of this quilt top. This signed and dated silk-and-wool-embroidered quilt top came from an African American family, and the maker, Frances M. Jolly, was said to be an ancestor of one of the donor's grandparents. The family, of whom little else is known, is said to have lived in Massachusetts and moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina.
- A 37½-inch black square set diagonally in the center with red corner triangles is the focal point of this quilt top. It is surrounded by three borders: a 9-inch black, a 10-inch orange, and an 11-inch black. Appliquéd flowers, leaves, and vines embellished with braid and embroidery decorate the surface.
- The edges of the appliquéd motifs are not turned under, but are held in place by buttonhole stitching in matching or near-matching thread colors. Silk or cotton threads are used for securing the appliqué motifs, stitching, and the embroidery, except for the inscription, which is chain-stitched in red wool. The quilt has both hand and machine stitching. The outer two borders are machine-stitched, indicating that they were joined after 1860 when sewing machines became common in households. Wool fabrics are used for both the pieced sections and the appliquéd motifs. Wool and silk braid and silk ribbon contribute to the overall design.
- Little is known about Frances M. Jolly. A headstone in the White Cloud Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Calloway County, Missouri bears the name "Frances M. Jolly dau of E. H. and A. M. Jolly Feb 15, 1915 and Feb. 11, 1916." Whether this has a connection to the Frances M. Jolly that is inscribed on this quilt top is a question that remains to be answered with further research and information.

Painted Concrete Floors
What do you do when you need to replace carpet and feel like doing that is just not…creative enough? Well my lovelies, if you are anything like me you paint the concrete subfloor!!
I am going to teach you in 7 easy steps how to prep, paint, and finish concrete floors. And I would like to give a HUGE thank you to Sherwin-Williams for teaming up with me on this post!!
This is the picture that I showed you a few weeks ago of Ivie's room:
Not so awesome. But I have big plans in store and it all starts with my personal White Box Challenge ala Design Star.
I DID NOT want carpet in Ivie's room and our hardwood is discontinued (and expensive) so I said to myself "Self. Lets paint the crap out of that floor." And that is just what happened. You can do the majority of project in a day for less than $150.00.
Painting concrete can be a little daunting. Especially because most of us have never painted a floor before. I was concerned about durability and finish. When I went into my local Sherwin-Williams, Sam the Manager was SO nice and patient and answered every single one of my questions. Twice. Because I am thorough like that.
When you are painting concrete the first thing that needs to be addressed is the carpet glue.
STEP 1: Remove Carpet Glue
Carpet glue is LEGIT. It is one of the strongest adhesives and can be really hard to remove. The best product to use is Lacquer Thinner. BUT it is extremely flammable. You will want to use a plastic brush and plastic scraper to get the majority of the glue off. Douse the glue with Lacquer Thinner and let it sit until it evaporates, this will soften the glue. Then douse it again. Use your plastic brush to loosen the glue and then scrape it off with your plastic scraper. Once the majority is gone and the lacquer thinner is dry go back over it with a floor scraper to remove any residue left over.
STEP 2: Remove Thick Areas Of Paint
Sorry for the awesome picture…you know when its 10:00 and your husband is scraping in a fury just so you will leave him alone and he is not wanting to be a blog model? Ya. Me too.
When the builder built our house they sprayed the walls and baseboard so there was a high concentration of paint right at the base of the walls. THEN when we moved in we sprayed the baseboard too. So there was at least 4 layers of paint and it was thick. We used a floor scraper to remove the thickest areas. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE ALL OF THE PAINT! We scraped off a good chunk of it and the rest we sanded so it blended into the floor and didn't leave a lip (but we will get into that in a minute)
STEP 3: Repair Concrete
This step sounds WAY more daunting than it really is. If you have previously had carpet you will need to patch the holes that the tack strips left behind.
Simply mix some Quickcrete and fill the hole:
Use a metal scraper or putty knife to smooth it out as much as you can.
Then very gently using a damp rag rub the concrete smooth.
Let it cure per box instructions.
STEP 4: Sanding and Clean UP
This is a really easy step too. If you are painting an extremely large area you might want to rent a sander but for a room that is the size of Ivie's (approx. 12×12) you wont need to.
All you need is a pole sander. A pole sander is a base that holds the sandpaper and attaches to a painting pole. Use 60 grit paper and go over your floor in this pattern. Sand in one direction, then sand in the opposite direction and then go over it again in the first direction. So you will be sanding the entire floor 3 times. Concentrate on areas with a lot of paint and where you just repaired the concrete.
Unless your floors are greasy you will not need to scrub them down (if they are or have grease spots use TSP). Alternate sweeping and vacuuming 4 different times. It may seem a bit like over kill but it is the BEST way to get all the dust off. If you get your floors wet after this point you will need to wait a minimum of 24 hours to let them dry before you paint!
Step 5: Painting
You never want to use a regular latex based wall paint on a floor. The durability will always come up lacking. To paint a concrete floor you need special floor paint or all your hard work will be in vain. There are a few different options when it comes to floor paint at Sherwin-Williams. They have a line called H&C that is made specifically for concrete. The concrete will basically absorb the paint . You can have it tinted to a variety of colors.
There is also Sherwin-Williams Porch and Floor Enamel that like paint, sits on top of the concrete. It comes in a satin finish. (This is what I used)
You will not need a primer when using the Floor and Deck Enamel because its self priming!! (YEAH!)
The colors I used on Ivie's floor are Extra White (the whitest base they have) and Gray Clouds.
Ok, now this is where the tutorial may get a little hairy. See, after I painted it the first time I changed my mind and repainted it the opposite way… (and yes I did a trial run but changed my mind after seeing the entire room finished…such is the life of a DIYer.)
So the tutorial for how to paint the faux bois is color backwards. Don't judge.
Painting the basecoat on the floor is literally the easiest fastest thing I have ever in my life painted. It took me under 10 minutes to do the entire room!
Start in the back corner opposite of the door (you don't want to paint yourself into a corner!)
You don't need a paint tray, just dump a small amount of paint onto the floor. You also need to use a roller with a 3/8 nap or shorter because you want the floor to have a smooth finish with as little texture as possible.
Then just start rolling!!
Depending on the color you may need to do a second coat. When I painted the floor gray I did not need one but when I painted the white over the gray I did.
The Floor and Deck paint is latex based so its not super fumy and let me tell you it is MUCH easier rolling a floor than rolling a ceiling.
Once your coat has dried for 4 hours you can start painting your faux bois (fake wood grain). And though this may look impossibly hard you pretty much cant screw it up.
Use a 1'" brush and paint a long slightly squiggly line.
Space our your next line and follow the same squiggle pattern. If you space your lines close together you will have a busier pattern. Where you have deep bends is a great place to add a knot.
Now I know what you are thinking. This is going to take forever! But I did both color options in one day (that included drying time) Because there is not really a rhyme or reason for this pattern it goes really fast.
Let this cure for a minimum of 4 hours before putting your top coat on.
STEP 7: Topcoat
This is what my floor looked like with and without a top coat:
I liked it before but with a clear topcoat on it it makes an enormous difference don't you think? And it is so much easier to clean!!
Apply the topcoat the same way that you painted the floor. I did 2 coats of H&C Wet Look Concrete Sealer.
The only way to describe the difference is that it looks professional with the wet look gloss on top. Its SUPER high gloss and really sassy.
Now this is the hard part.
You have to let it cure for 72 hours before you can put anything on it.
This will cure it to the point that you a put things on it without damaging it BUT a full cure for Latex based paint is 30 days. It may feel a teeny bit tacky until that time has passed. This is totally normal, I would recommend using furniture pads underneath everything at least until the 30 day cure has been achieved.
There are so many decorative options when it comes to doing something like this! You could stencil, stripe, chevron, grid, polka dot the floors in your house and make it truly your own space! Just make sure that when you do you are using THE BEST product on the market. Porch and Floor Enamel and H&C Sealant from Sherwin-Williams. And if you have never ventured into a Sherwin-Williams store DO IT! The staff at the store in St. George are so knowledgeable and nice. They call me by name and check up on my projects. Sometimes when you are venturing into something unknown (like I was when I was painting this floor) all you need is reassurance that it will be as epic in real life as it is in your mind, so I would like to publicly thank the staff at my local SW for being rock stars!
Knowing what colors you are going to use is half the battle. I am OBSESSED with Chip It! Want to see some of the colors I am using? With fabric this bold how can I not have a white floor? (I cant wait to tell you all about the fabric next week!)
So what do you guys think? Do you love it?!
Love Your Guts, Mandi

For the second time in two days a bomb threat was made at Metcalfe County Schools. Wednesday a note stated bombs were in all schools.
"This is an act of domestic terrorism make no mistake about it, it will be treated as such. We plan to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. This is ridiculous," says Interim Superintendent Byron Jeffries.
Authorities from around the county, including bomb sniffing dogs, arrived on scene to search each school inside and out. Superintendent Jeffries says each bomb threat must be taken seriously.
Since there was no safe place for students to go the choice was made to send them home.
"We knew it would take all day with the search that we had to do so for the safety of the kids and the best interest for them as far as where are we going to put them, where are they going to eat lunch, we felt the best thing we could do is send them home," says Jeffries.
But a few students were asked to stay at school as administration and local police attempted to track down who has been making the threats.
"We've been sitting in on the interviews and trying to get some information gathered up as to what is going on," says Metcalfe County Sheriff Rondal Shirley.
Late Wednesday afternoon the all clear was given. School administration and police warn that bomb threats like what occurred on Wednesday are not a joke.
"It's an expensive and interruptive type thing to send all the kids home, shut all the schools down. No it's not a good thing," says Jeffries
"The smaller children were quite upset by this and we're not going to tolerate it," says Superintendent Jeffries.
Administration says classes will resume as normal at all schools on Thursday.

Monday to Saturday, 12-11pm
Hunter S Thompson's famous Kentucky Derby inkings were in my mind last Saturday as I climbed the stairs to The Whip in Mayfair – a newly opened bar which carries on the equestrian theme of partner operation, The Running Horse (located downstairs).
