This is blowing my mind a little bit, when someone wants to calculate a 30-day moving average of a commodity, do they mean 30 business days, or 30 calendar days? I'm looking for the general consensus, not "you could do it this way or that way".

North Korea Fires Missiles
SEOUL—North Korea on Sunday fired a short-range missile into the sea off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula following three similar launches Saturday, again stirring tensions that had appeared to ease after recent threats directed at South Korea and the U.S.
The latest missile firing came after the South Korean government on Sunday condemned Pyongyang's launches and urged the country to come to the negotiating table over the jointly run Kaesong Industrial Complex.
Operation of the Kaesong facility has been suspended since April 9 when North Korea pulled its workers out. South Korean companies that operated in Kaesong want to withdraw their raw materials and finished goods.
South Korea's defense ministry said North Korea fired three missiles into waters off the Korean peninsula on Saturday, followed by a fourth Sunday.
"In our judgment, the missiles are short-range guided missiles, not midrange missiles such as the Musudan," South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said. North Korea's short-range missiles have a reach of around 100 miles (160 kilometers). It remains unconfirmed what type of short-range missiles were fired.
The missiles posed no danger to neighboring countries. Analysts said the launches were likely intended as a protest against joint South Korean-U.S. naval drills last week. North Korea, a financially beleaguered state hit by fresh U.N. sanctions after its nuclear test in February, may expect the launches will prompt the offer of dialogue from the U.S., they said.
On Sunday, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon also asked the North to refrain from further missile tests, and the U.S. made a statement. "North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which only further isolate [North Korea] and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia," said Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the National Security Council in the U.S. "We continue to urge the North Korean leadership to heed President Obama's call to choose the path of peace and come into compliance with its international obligations."
The firings came after Glyn Davies, the top U.S. envoy on North Korea, visited Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul last week for talks on dealing with North Korea.
North Korea made no immediate statement on the launches.
Attention has been focused on the deployment of two Musudan missiles on North Korea's east coast last month for an expected test firing. Officials and media reports earlier this month said North Korea had moved the Musudan missiles away from the firing locations.
The Musudan has a range of nearly 2,500 miles, meaning it could threaten U.S. bases in the region, Guam and Japan. Tokyo put its missile defenses on alert in response to reports of the Musudan deployment.
North Korea launches smaller missiles with ranges of a few hundred miles, such as Scud variants, in test firings from its coasts a few times each year. The last reported firing was in March.
Shin Jong-dae, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said the launches were likely an effort to draw attention of the international community, particularly the U.S. "North Korea is an expert at crisis diplomacy, or crisis marketing," Mr. Shin said.
Pyongyang's actions, including threats of attack that escalated in recent months, are widely viewed as an attempt to generate enough fear to prompt other countries to consider concessions on security and aid, a gambit it has used repeatedly.
Those threats intensified during annual military drills held by South Korea and the U.S. through the end of April, which the North portrayed as a prelude to war. The heated rhetoric eased after the drills ended, but fresh naval exercises early last week prompted renewed warnings of counterattack from Pyongyang.
The latest drills were led by the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, a move North Korea's state media called "a grave military provocation."
The missile launches come during a low in relations between North Korea and South Korea as Pyongyang has rejected calls from Seoul for talks over their closed joint industrial complex. The closure of the Kaesong plant—the last outpost of inter-Korean economic cooperation— followed weeks of verbal attacks by North Korea against the South and the U.S. after the U.N. imposed tougher sanctions against Pyongyang after its third nuclear test in February.
The industrial park opened in late 2004, after the first inter-Korean summit meeting in 2000 between South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. More than 120 South Korean firms employed about 53,000 North Koreans to make products such as shoes and bags.
"We urge North Korea to stop all military provocations such as the missile firing and to abide by the international guidelines when it comes to the protection of assets of companies [that invested in the Kaesong complex]," Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk said Sunday.
Seoul said it was monitoring for any further military activity in the North following missile launches Saturday and Sunday. "South Korea's military is on high alert to prepare for any hostile acts from the North following the guided-missile launches today," defense ministry spokesman Mr. Kim said.

The Bounty
((this will be a short story and takes place during the months after the final battle of Endor. I havnt read teh EU...really, I havnt read a single novel to date so I may get names, locations, characters, planets, and stuff out of ballance. please looke over that and just enjoy the story for a storys sake.))
the Cantina stunk, but they all stank in Mos Eisly. The same kinda stink you get when you let Bantha hides get wet and dont dry them. Cerceuil had been in worse. the filter in his helmet was helping, but you just cant escape some things and this was one of them. He had made inot the bar when the sounds of buzzing and chiming filled the narrow hallway. the droid.
"get back to the Toljen Se and wait. I wont be long." the droid was a "gift" from a past target. It was nice little astro droid that aided in keeping the ship in order and ensuring the right calculations for hyper flight. It made a few beeps in protest and headed back out on the street.
turning back towards the bar a few were looking at him. It wasnt often that an Imperial Royal Guard showed up on Tatoinne even if the Empire was in ruins. In fact, non of the regulars even had a clue on what he was. Cerceuil didnt care one way or the other. He was here for a job and unless one of them was to be the target it didnt matter to him.
"Can I help any of you gentleman?" the faces turned back to their drinks and the band played on. It was a nice little tune. It had been years since he heard music and it was accepted with open ears. Moving to a table towards the back of the room he noticed a lovely Tw'liek dancing for tips. Such facinating creatures and so graceful. He had overseen the destruction of a Tw'liek settlement on some numbered moon when he was a rookie Stormtrooper Captain. at the time their screams did nothing to him, but, now, he hears theirs and hundreds more when he sleeps and typically wakes in screams of his own. his are different, though, he isnt screaming for his life, but for his soul.
the contact was late and Cerceuil hated waiting. the price was going up. the Tw'liek had finished her dancing and was heading toward his table.
Her name was Bue'tro den and had been dancing in and around Mos Eisly for a number of years. She wanted to join a troupe and move to Naboo or Courscant, but she needed to make a name for herself before any self respecting troupe would even consider her. Her form was sleek and slender and her Loobec (?) nestled gently around her neck. the clothes were nice, but a bit more revealing than she wanted them to be, but she knew that she had to do something for tips.
"can i dance for you?" the figure that sat at the table was in full crimson body armor and a sleek helmet covered his face. she wondered, just for a second, on what he might look like under the helmet. would he be hansome or grotesque? human or alien? in all, she figured, it didnt really matter.
"can I..."
"I heard you the first time." Cerceuil slide a more than generous tip in her direction. He loved their form and this one was particularly attractive. Grabbing the tip Bue'tro began her movements. what she didnt know was that under the helmet she had made an Imperial Guardsman smile if just for a minute.
Yalbo Nacklta was late. He knew the contact would be upset and he knew the price was going up, but a bumbling droid forced him to stay at his job in Jalbas Palace for three more cycles than he should have and caused his entire day to fall behind. the Rodian darted through the streets till he came to the Cantina where, he hoped, his salvation awaited him. He was a bit uneasy about not having his blaster, but if word was true, it wouldnt make a single shred of difference if he had the blaster or not. If the Guardsman wanted to dispatch him then that was that and there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"i need a breather." walking into the cantina he headed straight for the bar. The guardsman was being entertianed by Tw'liek dancer so he figured he just enough time to scarffle down a bit of Jawa Juice, take a deep breath, and make his way over to the table. besides, he had a strange feeling that the Guardsman already knew of his presence. He was scared, but the lively hood of his family rested on his ability to convince the Guardsman to take the bounty. Soon, he hoped, Guakdo Gjare and his men would be dead and his family would be able to live in peace.
the rodian entered the cantina and went to the bar for a drink. Cerceuil could sense his nervousness, but paid it no mind. This gentle wonder was performing for him and he enjoyed it. The song ended too soon and the Tw'liek bowed and moved on. He caught himself moving his head down in return, but he didnt care. He would have to come back on his own time to see her again, but he was here on business and he expected the Rodian to make haste now that the Tw'liek had moved on.
Yalbo had just finished his drink and wiped his snoot when the dancer finished, bowed, and moved on. It was time.
"has the guardsman ordered anything?" the bartender shook his head and proceeded to the next customer that was waving his hand. Great. He hoped the credits would be sufficient.
"give me two Ulix's, please"
"that will be 18 credits, Yalbo, you sure you can spare that much? howbout some Bantha Juice? much cheaper."
"no thank you, Queekli, just the two Ulix's..."sliding the credits across the bar, "and if you can have her,"pointing to the Tw'liek dancer that was entertaining the Guardsman," bring them to us i would be most grateful. here, here are a few extra credits as a tip." he was spending credits like it didnt stop, but he was limited and he needed to make an impression to the Guardsman.
"sure. they will be over in a just a few minutes." Queekli pocketed the tip and had no intention of giving any to the dancer. and why should he? it was his bar.
"youre late." if the Guardsman had any emotion on his face it didnt show in the way he spoke.
"Yes, sir, yes...I know. I respectfull request your pardon for this." this wasnt starting off good and Yalbo could tell. his moisture emmitters began working overtime.
"it will be extra and I dont come cheap as it is. Now, let us get to topic." his words were direct and he could tell yalbo was nervous. that was good. it meant that he had control of the conversation and the Rodian would be more accepting of his terms.
"yes, youre right. I have ordered us something to drink and it should be here shortly." he was visibly nervous. good. Cercueil didnt speak.
"ok. My family, for many years, have been subject to a rather hanous rodian clan from our homeworld. thier clan leader, Guakdo Gjare Saqlidok, has insisted that my grandfather owes his clan many many credits. We have tried paying him, but he keeps upping the call price and, frankly, we are near the end..." relating the story was hard as his family is proud and he hoped the Guardsman didnt think they were trying to skip on a debt, "we have brought our case to Jalba, but he sided with Guakdo then placed myself in his service for wasting his time." it was a hard truth and the rodian felt horrible for relating it.
"I see." the matter was trival and he really didnt care. the rodian seemed to be too honest and forthcoming to be making it up. "so, you want me to bounty Jalba of hte Hutts?. that will be expensive and a difficult ta..."
"oh no, not Jalba, guakdo. my service for Jalba ends soon, but this torment from Guakdo seems to not be reaching the e..."
"youre drinks..." Bue'tro carefully placed the drinks on the table, "would you like another dance?" the Crimson clad patron had tipped her almost 30 credits and she had hopped for more.
"No." Cercueil did want the beauty to dance and he was slightly angered that the Rodian had used the interest to try and soften him. angered, yes, but slightly impressed, "not at this time. perhaps when our business is concluded." Cercueil had full intention and handed her some credits, "now, if youll excuse us."
Bue'tro was encouraged and rubbed her loobek(?) as she placed the credits into her pouch and moved away. Yalbos nervousness increased as the Guardsmans attention shifted back to him. He had hoped the Tw'liek would have danced for them and, perhaps, had teh affect of gaining hte guardsmans trust.
"you were saying"
"yes, yes." taking a swallow of his drink the sensation was immediate and calming, " Yes. I would like something to be done about Guakdo. My family has accumulated about 10,000 credits for the dealing of this matter. will that be enough?" the following swollow was long and hard. he made the offer. they had about 2500 more credits to play around with, but he was hoping hte Guardsman would accept his offer.
"ten thousand credits. that may be enough." It was more than enough for a job like this. he knew of Guakdo and Yalbo wasnt the only one that he was ripping off. when the empire fell every shady character with enough behind him came out like Ilipas in the night. He hated beings like that and thats part of the reason he went into this line of work. "Guakdo has many body guards and many in his clan may just take up his position and demand the tribute from you after his death." it was truth and Yalbo knew this, but had hoped that with Guakdo's death the clan may go into dissarray and his family would be forgotten.
"yes, sir. that is a chance, but we are hoping that the records would be destroyed during the event."
"oh my. it seems you would like me to do more than just remove a problem from your life." ten thousand would be more than enough, but Cercueil wanted to determine how far this rodian was willing to go...for his family.
"i will need more resources. the ten thousand may fall short on the resources needed to fullfull your request. an additional five thousand upon completion of the event will be needed in order to ensure that your family will not be bothered in the future."
Yalbo finished his drink, "an additional five thousand?" that was a lot of credits and he wasnt sure the could raise the credits in the time frame. it had taken them almost 3 years to pull up the 12500. his precious wife had worked double shifts in the space port and the rest of the family did the same. damn you grandfather, damn you. "I only have twelve hundred. the additional three will take time to gather, but if fifteen is what you require, i promise you that fifteen will be what you will recieve."
this was an honorable rodian. the decision came before he could even figure out what he was going to say, "Rodian, your family has been under subjugation for a long time and I will not wait any longer than when the job is done for my payment." he stopped to read the reaction on the rodians face. He could see the worry and his eyes shift to his, now, empty mug. "twelve hundred will be sufficient." He could see the Rodians face almost burst with excitement and joy. "however, I will require a bit of service for my generosity." the Rodians face froze. "I have recently come into possession of an astro droid that needs some maintenance. when the job is completed I will request that the maintenance that I require is completed while I attend to other business in Mos Eisly."
Yalbo, without thinking, reached out and grabbed the other mug and took a long swollow.
"yes, yes, sir, guardsman. those terms are acceptible and will be done. If your astro droid requires any service before you leave then i will be happy...oh, yes, so happy to return to my home with it to calibrate and..."
"after the assignment will be sufficient enough. Now, my payment is to be brought to hanger UI-45 and placed in the safety box within twenty four cycles. any time after the expiration and my job will be to deliever you to Guakdo and inform him of our discussion. do i make myself clear?"
"yes, yes. perfectly. your credits will be delivered within the hour. and thank you sir. you dont know how much this means to my fa.."
"im not concerned with that, Rodian. Now, dont you have a package to deliver?" he was tired of the conversation and angered by his generosity. when he first come to this profession he would have never accepted the reduced price and would have demanded more simply for asking for a lower price. that was his conditioning. he was becoming...what was the word she used..."human."
Yalbo finished the mug and placed it next to the other empty one. "im sorry, sir, i drank your..."
"i wasnt thirsty. now, be on your way." the words were clear and the Rodian scurried out fo the Cantina. the twin suns were just setting, but it was the first time in a long time that he took notice of their beauty and the way the breeze washed his skin. He pulled a small box from his belt and pulled out a picture of his wife. holding it to his mouth he closed his eyes, gave it a kiss, and started the journey home. What he didnt notice was the small, but observant droid that was just a few meters from him. it floated only a meter or so from the ground and made note of the targets actions as well as his conversation with the crimsion clad being called the Guardsman. His master would need to know this and quickly. Yaldo had put a bounty on his masters head.
Cercueil watched the rodian leave the cantina. the poor fool didnt even realize he was followed and recorded. All this meant was the Cercueil would have to move quickly and with no mistakes, but, for now, he wanted to see some dancing. He turned slightly to see the Tw'liek finishing up and pocketing her tip. She moved to him and without question and began dancing. The Guardsman just smilled.
I Like your style, i really do. It's the kind of style that get's me hooked from beginning to end. It's so damn descriptive, and it seems so darn thought out (wich it probably is.) good job. Looking forward to seeing more. But try to keep the posts a it smaller, it's easier for reading.
Lekku, not Loobek. (they were the Twi'leks headtails right?)
Jabba, not Jalba. Unless you're talking about another Hutt.
Twi'lek, not Tw'liek.
Otherwise, well, what i said above. Nice. i hope you don't mind if i try to imitate it? Gave me idea's for a new story myself...
Well whaddaya know? Heres another good author in LF fanfic forum! I like it, but as Doom said, make the posts a little smaller and use Upper and Lower cases often, it looks proffesional that way.
Your writing style is also great!
May the Force Be With You
thanks. ill correct it for the next post. I have a bad habit of making long posts, but I'll try to keep that in mind.
I had figured Jabba was dead and wanted a new hutt to take his place. didnt know the hutts naming thing so I just replaced a b with l.
thanks for the spellings of those things. I'll try to post the next section in a couple fo days (maybe tomorrow).
Yalbo had gotten the payment into the box in less time than he thought. it wasnt within the hour, but it was still earlier than what was required. His wife was still at work and wouldnt know of the arrangement till later, but he was sure she would be happy. They had been under the thumb of the evil rodian for years and his salvation was at hand. Turning to leave he was met by a small astro droid that had exited the Lamda shuttle.
"hi there, little fella. your master is indeed a generous man." it had long been established that most, if not all, droids possesed some form of intelligence that had yet to be explained. Many were memory wiped on a number of occasions, but a few seemed to escape that full memory wipe and retained a bit of personality that made them up.
beep. wirp. beeep. the droid apparently gave an agreement and continued on its trip to one of the landing legs. Maybe he could give the guardsman part of his payment now and see what he could do for the droid? No. to do so againt the guardsman could put his job at risk. He would wait toll later; when he was requested.
"Keep your master safe, little droid, a lot rests on his safety." the droid made a few beeps turned its head towards the rodian made a few more then continued on his task.
the door hissed closed and R2-Z9 made a slight movement to watch the rodian leave. He had been in service with Cercueil for several months and his treatment was much better than with his previous master. He had expected a memory wipe, but never recieved one and he would work hard in thankfulness. Besides, he was getting regular augments, maintenance, and, soon, his master was going to get him repainted. As a droid he knew his outer appearence was minimal in comparison to the service he provided, but he wanted to look nice. Finishing the task of adjusting the landing shocks he moved to the next leg. These adjustments would make landing in uneven terrain much smoother. If he could have smiled he would, but a couple of nice beeps gave him the satisfaction that he craved.
The lamda shuttle was nicer than the skiffs, swoops, and junk he had worked on before and it required very little. His master had implemented a few programs of a more stealthy nature that he found pleasing to accomplish. He had completed the skematic download from the cities computer network before returning to the landing bay and had uploaded it into the ships main core. The landing shocks was just something to keep himself busy and "earn his keep." His master would be returning soon and, judging by the number of credits the Rodian placed in the security box, they would be off on another mission. His masters weapons would be ready by then. Moving to the last landing shock Z9 reminded himself to ensure that modifications to the hyperdrive would need to be finished soon or they could find themselves drifting dead in space. That would be unacceptable.

When just raging for a while and destroying objects, it's pretty clear that different kinds of destructible objects provide different number of blue fragments. Pieces of walls and masonry, for instance, seem to provide none, while potted plants always net a few fragments.
I don't think I want to invest the time in destroying every single object in the hope in will get me shards, but I don't want to miss out on "valuable" objects, either. Is there some sort of guideline or chart which would indicate which objects I would want to destroy and which ones I can skip?
I realize the types of objects change between levels, but even a rough guideline will do.

Whether you plan to pursue Dakota Wesleyan University's fully online RN-Bachelor of Science in Nursing, M.B.A. in Strategic Leadership, or our brand-new Master of Arts in Education, we know you want to be successful. We want that for you, too. That is why we have reached out to students, faculty and staff alike to round up a list of tips to help you succeed—even before you start your classes. Here are 20 tips—in their own words:
1. Remember the program is like a marathon. Take it steady, slow and don't burn all your energy on one part of the race.
2. Order your books in advance and look through them—even just briefly. We often make things harder in our minds than what they need to be and just becoming familiar with the book helps a lot!
3. Don't procrastinate! Try to get a schedule down that you can follow, but always allow extra time in case of emergencies.
4. Communicate with your instructors and your classmates. It is reassuring to know others are experiencing the same things as you. Don't be afraid to open up. It is possible to feel close to your class, even virtually!
5. I begin the course by getting organized and looking at due dates and how much is expected each week. I also look at the midterm and final weeks to be sure I'm covering everything I need to be successful at the end of the course.
6. Stay ahead—but don't get too far ahead!
7. Don't hesitate to ask questions. It is likely a question that more than one person has, so ask it!
8. Check into the online platform daily. Even if just for five minutes on a day you have everything done.
9. Make sure you enter your instructor's name and contact information into your phone on the first day of the course. This way you know whom to notify in case of an emergency, power outage or illness.
10. Communicate with your instructor. ALWAYS be proactive if possible. Contact your instructor BEFORE a due date, not after. Instructors understand that life events do occur, but they stress the importance of contacting them as soon as possible.
11. Understand the purpose of instructor feedback. Feedback and grading are part of the learning process and are how instructors teach in online courses. Do not take feedback personally. Instructor feedback is given to guide your learning through positive comments and suggestions or pointers to help you improve your work. Please review and apply the instructor feedback to your next assignment. Feedback is not given to make you feel bad, it is to help you grow in your professional role.
12. Read assignment instructions carefully. If unsure of what is expected, contact the instructor for clarification.
13. Remember that you are never alone in an online course. Reach out to the faculty or to others in the course if you are having problems or not understanding an assignment.
14. Designate time for your readings and assignments and then allow yourself to not worry about class while you're with your family, for example.
15. Be realistic about your life, the demands and the things you can't control. Schedule around your non-school responsibilities, and then be disciplined to stay as close to that schedule as possible. That allows you to say, "I'm going to work on that paper on Tuesday from 7-9 and Wednesday from 5-8 because it's due on Friday and I have other commitments on Monday and Thursday" and then on Monday night, you don't feel guilty for not working on it, and on Thursday you're not panicked while you're at your other commitment. This method allows you to go to kids' activities, watch a sitcom, or go for a walk without feeling like you 'should' be working on coursework.
16. Planning ahead also relieves you from the last-minute crises that can plague every human being – illness (you or your family), technology issues or a really good social event.
17. Before the class starts: Review the syllabus, print the course calendar and mark deadlines on it, and read everything on the course website so you find all the resources that were put there for you.
18. Understand your learning style. If you prefer to highlight/annotate on real paper, print everything at the beginning of the week/module/unit and carry at least a few pieces with you wherever you go. If you prefer to read online, make sure you have copies on multiple devices—phone, Kindle, laptop, iPad—so that you're not dependent on an Internet connection if you want to catch up on your reading while you're waiting somewhere (dr. appt., halftime, checkout line).
19. Read all the assignment requirements before you read the assigned reading (for the week/chapter/unit/module – the entire body of assignments related to that reading). Know what answers you're looking for before you start so that as you read, you save time by seeking those key concepts rather than trying to retain absolutely everything. You will save having to go back and needing to reread for certain questions.
20. Make yourself stick to the schedule you've created. Be disciplined even if you've never been disciplined before. Your stress level and your GPA will thank you.

A Young Officer Shot Dead, And Another Critically Hurt
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The men who appeared to be the most-recent victims of Boston's alleged bombers were praised Friday—one as a gregarious outdoorsman who embraced his campus police-officer role, the other a father and revered transit officer who took his job to heart.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Patrol Officer Sean A. Collier, 26, was shot to death late Thursday after he was ambushed by the suspects at the start of a hectic and bloody rampage through Cambridge and Watertown, officials said.
Later, Richard Donohue Jr., 33, an officer with the region's transit authority, was shot during an exchange of gunfire with the suspects as they were being pursued by police while they drove in a carjacked Mercedes, according to the district attorney's office in Middlesex County. Mr. Donohue was in critical but stable condition Friday following surgery at Mount Auburn Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.
"Sean was one of these guys who really looked at police work as a calling," said MIT Police Chief John DiFava, in a release. "He was born to be a police officer."
Mr. Collier, of Somerville, Mass., joined the MIT police in January 2012 and quickly became involved with students, particularly the MIT Outing Club for fans of outdoor activities, police officials said. In a little more than a year on the job, he made a big impact on campus and in the club, joining students hiking and skiing.

- Remembering MIT's Officer Collier
"It really struck me how enthusiastic Sean was," said Matthew Gilbertson, a graduate student in mechanical engineering at MIT who said he became quick friends with Mr. Collier through the club. Within hours of his name being released by authorities, at least two online tributes had been created in his honor.
Mr. Collier cracked up students by yodeling on treks, dancing the Lindy Hop in uniform and hiking in his heavy work boots and work belt, the tributes reported. He surreptitiously led students on a mountaineering training session up 20 flights of stairs inside a Cambridge building, and his friends remembered his "irrepressible" grin and fondness for pepperoni as a hiking snack.
"I will never forget the time you showed me the view of Boston from the top of the Green building; the time you called out to me on Vassar Street using the mega phone in your police car" wrote a poster listed as Sarah. She added that she came to know him through his visits to her workplace when he was on patrol.

Another post read: "Officer Collier died a hero. I am more grateful than I have words to say that Officer Collier stood tall as a shield for us, and that his life was not given in vain. My thoughts and prayers are with his family."
Mr. Collier's younger brother Andrew is a machinist in the engine department at auto racing's Hendrick Motorsports. In a video on the Nascar website, driver Jimmie Johnson said it was "a very sad time," adding, "My thoughts and prayers are with the Collier family."

Mr. Donohue has worked for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority for three years and was awarded a commendation earlier this year for saving a life, according to transit spokesman Joe Pesaturo. Mr. Donohue is married and has a six-month-old child, Mr. Pesaturo said.
"Facing extraordinary danger, Officer Donohue never hesitated in fully engaging the terrorists in order to protect the citizens of the Commonwealth," said authority Police Chief Paul MacMillan in a statement. "I am extremely proud of him, and cannot say enough about his heroic actions."
Mr. Donohue and Mr. Collier attended the same police-training academy, said Ed Donohue, the victim's brother, who also works as a police officer in their hometown of Winchester. "I feel devastated," he said. "We're very proud of all the first responders that were on the scene."
Richard Howard, town manager at Winchester, said Mr. Donohue is a native of the town of about 22,000 eight miles outside downtown Boston. His parents, grandmother and brother still live in Winchester, where his family is "very well-known and highly regarded," said Mr. Howard.

The last two weeks in the River City have been spent preparing for the party before the party. That'd be Derby, of course.
I caught up with a few friends who have attended a number of Kentucky Derby's to find out their top 10 reasons why they love our city's greatest event.
Kelli Stein
- Hats! Hats! Hats! The beautiful and the outrageous.
- Enough spray tans to make Patricia Krentcil move to Kentucky.
- Observing out-of-towners that are passed out in their seersuckers by noon that have not learned to respect the "power of the mash" and never make it to the 11th race for the greatest two minutes in sports.
- The smell of fine cigars and Kentucky Bourbon.
- The excitement in sneaking liquor past security successfully.
- Watching the post parade of ponies in the paddock.
- Catching up with old acquaintances you may only see at the Derby.
- Singing My Old Kentucky Home with 165,000 people.
- Feeling your heart pick up the pace when you hear the words, "And they're off!"
- Observing the crazy infield antics at a safe binocular distance.
Cate Yashar
- Because you can't help but cheer in excitement when 165,00 join you.
- To perform a quality assurance check on Kentucky bourbon.
- To fashion friends, fashion fun and well, just fashion.
- To see the world's widest range of the utterly foolish to the utterly fabulous.
- To see which hats the Brits will be wearing – next year.
- Because it's on my bucket list – every year.
- To lose money, dammit.
- To hear my favorite song.
- To hear Gary Drake explain "superfecta" to a movie star.
- And among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of the winning ticket.
Craig Stevenson
- Being acutely aware of the skin on the bottom of my feet.
- Wearing sunglasses inside and pretending to be a celebrity.
- Talking to Paris Hilton like we went to grade school together.
- Having a police escort and running red lights until mid-May.
- Falling out of the chair laughing with friends and Sunday during "Derby Download."
- Joey Fatone.
- My American Express bill.
- Straight men in hats.
- Three solid days in bed afterwards.
- Knowing that there's no other city on earth that could do it like Louisville does.
Alyson Griffith
- Cashing a Derby winner ticket!
- Standing on the terrace two minutes before race time singing "My Old Kentucky Home."
- Walking among 100,000 beautiful people and feeling relieved that all the hours of shopping have paid off with the right ensemble!
- The crazy people watching as they stand in line waiting to go into the infield.
- Crossing over the bridge and seeing Twin Spires in all their glory.
- Have a Club House ticket and Turf Club pass in my purse.
- Popping champagne bottles and drinking mimosa's before 10 a.m. and it's completely acceptable.
- Waking up and heading straight into the hair and makeup chair, knowing no matter what I've done the night before, the artists are going to work a miracle.
- Jack Fry's and it's indulgent Shrimp and Grits, Fired Oysters and Pistachio Crusted Salmon.
- Arriving at the Louisville airport and being greeted by beautiful women handing out bourbon balls who act as if they've been expecting you for weeks.

I am working as a software programmer and my company does not have any projects right now, but there is one in the pipeline. It has been around for one month and I have been told to read the documents and understand the requirements. The requirements are not complete and clear since the project has not been confirmed yet. Frankly, since this is my first project of this kind, I have little fear but am confident of doing the project with my senior's guidance.
During the one month period, I would read the documents and understand things until I can perceive and then I will go procrastinate. It sometimes makes me sick because I need to act like working because of the visible work environment (anyone can see what I am doing). I don't have the motivation to go deeper since the project is not finalized. My manager has never asked me for any updates during the period.
I would go to my manager to tell him what I am doing and ask him about the project. He will say 'the project is still not confirmed, but you prepare yourself and anyway it is useful'.
Finally, my question is
"How to be productive in the buffer or grace periods of the project or work "?

User Comments for Week 6 QB Rankings
No love yet for Peyton Manning yet. I understand there's very little difference in the point projections between rank #3 and #11 but seeing him at 11 just seems a little silly. Maybe another 3 TD performance will put him up in the top 6 where he belongs every week. The guy has a cake R.O.S. schedule as well.
Kinglions 10/09/12 04:05 PM
Bye week for me.
Luck vs. Dalton? I'm thinking Dalton vs. Browns D...Whaddya think?
dgreen 10/09/12 08:43 PM
Joe Haden is back, and that means the Browns D is much improved. I think Luck can carve up an injury-riddled Jets Dfense
Verite 10/09/12 11:11 PM
Isn't it about time the NFL outlawed all forms of head hitting? It's clear the current helmuts don't offer sufficient protection, and should be reinforced with better shock absorbing materials.
bobkicks 10/10/12 09:30 AM
I currently have both Rodgers and Ryan and have been in a debate the past few weeks as to who I should start. I know I should be looking to trade, but as of right now my team is pretty solid. People think I'm crazy for sitting Rodgers, but i'm thinking starting Matty Ice aginst Oakland is better option than Rodgers going against the solid Texans D. Any thoughts???
rookie12 10/10/12 12:24 PM
@rookie12 I think you need to find the team with the worst quarterback, and trade Rodgers. Even if you wait until after Ryan's bye week to do it. Ryan is going to have the better season.
xxjonesy87 10/10/12 09:39 PM
Who should I start? Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?
conlijac000 10/10/12 11:05 PM
Panthersfan 10/10/12 11:53 PM
I have Aaron Rodgers n Andy Dalton. Would Dalton be a better choice this week?
tmtaz 10/12/12 02:07 PM
Lack of respect for Weeden this week. I'd slot him in above Rivers I believe. Maybe higher.
ericruh 10/12/12 07:24 PM

Thanks again, Fred.

Kentucky Department of Corrections officials have closed the McCreary County jail and moved all 47 inmates to the Laurel County Detention Center.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that the state's Dec. 11 letter ordering the shutdown said officials did not properly report escapes and cited four incidents involving six inmates between January and June 2012.
State records said the jail was "extremely dirty" and in disrepair, with problems with managing inmates.
McCreary County Judge-Executive Doug Stephens said his office had no control over the management of the jail, since the office of jailer is an elected position. McCreary jailer Tony Ball will continue to transport inmates, Stephens said.

Building a website that also will require an API and therefore (possibly) OAuth support for login I'm in doubt how to approach he user and authentication-part.
So I've got an ASP.NET MC4 application with RavenDB.
What is the best approach?
To use one of the Membership providers for RavenDB and deal with the Oauth separately in the API part? Ex. Griffin's solution here.
Or to make a custom solution that kind of re-implements the membership-crap and supports OAuth.
I'm not really sure where to start, any suggestions on how to do this is appreciated.

I took the attached panorama in Athens just recently ( I wanted to photograph this old library before the looters got to it! ).
Anyway I can't obtain an architecturally straight building. I've tried in CS5 and PTgui the latter software has great options to straighten the image but not enough for this one.
I took the image as a multi row, a friend thinks it's possible that I didn't take a row of images exactly level with the ground. In other words I did a row for the sky facing up, a row for the ground facing down but the one which should have been at zero degrees was perhaps out a bit.
So my question is:
Is it essential when taking a multi row pano like this to take a row at exactly zero degrees?
Or perhaps someone can offer another opinion.
Many thanks

Today I watched Cashback. But I am in doubt whether I understood its theme properly or not. At the end, it is a love story. But somethings I could not connect to the plot. Like his power to pause time (God was it real?), his adolescense et al. We saw one person in the hotel could move in his paused world. What does it signify? Why was his adolescenes shown? The film could only show his breakup with Suzy and how he fell in love with Sharon. Why was his time-pausing ability and his adloescenese was shown?
If I get these answers, I am sure I would be able to understand the theme.

BYU basketball: Cougars crash out of West Coast Conference tournament
LAS VEGAS — BYU won't get another shot at No. 2 seed Saint Mary's after all.
No. 6 seed San Diego bounced the third-seeded Cougars from the West Coast Conference tournament in Friday night's quarterfinals, 72-69, at the Orleans Arena.
"It was a heckuva win for us," said USD coach Bill Grier. "We dug in and made plays down the stretch."
"We competed hard," said BYU coach Dave Rose. "We didn't play as well as we're capable of, but that was due to San Diego's defensive pressure. We got the lead a couple of times, but we couldn't sustain it. USD just seemed to have an answer. We fell a little bit short."
The loss prevented BYU from playing a much-anticipated rematch with the Gaels, who narrowly defeated the Cougars twice during the regular season.
Instead, the Toreros will take on Saint Mary's Saturday in the semifinals.
The next game for BYU (21-11) is expected to be in the National Invitation Tournament.
For now, though, the Cougars can only lament another disappointing WCC defeat. BYU fell twice to San Diego (16-17) this season.
"Once we beat BYU at our place, it helped us believe that we could beat them again," said Torero guard Chris Anderson, who scored 16 points.
Brandon Davies and Tyler Haws each scored 20 points for the Cougars, but it wasn't enough to overcome San Diego. USD guard Johnny Dee poured in a game-high 25 points, including three timely 3-pointers.
Dee hit a 3-pointer from the corner with 2:36 left, then had an and-one seconds later that helped keep the Cougars at bay. He also hit crucial free throws in the closing seconds.
With less than one minute remaining, Haws stole a USD pass, but turned the ball over. A foul during that sequence put Anderson at the free-throw line. Anderson knocked down both shots to put the Toreros up 67-62 with 41.5 seconds left.
With USD up 70-66, Matt Carlino buried a 3-pointer with 6.9 seconds on the clock to cut the deficit to 70-69, but Dee nailed two more free throws. Carlino's deep, potential game-tying 3-pointer rimmed out at the buzzer.
BYU battled back from an 11-point first-half deficit to take a narrow lead in the second half, but couldn't finish against San Diego.
"Defensively, we were way more aggressive in the second half. That got us some baskets in transition. That gave us some energy," Rose said. "When it came down to big possessions, where we were up by a couple of points and we two or three possessions in a row where we turned the ball over, or we didn't get off a good shot. We had some empty possessions. Those are opportunities where you build the lead and increase your confidence. We never really got to that."
Trailing by seven, 35-28, at halftime, BYU opened the second half with a 12-3 run, including a 3-pointer by Haws. Davies' bucket with 16:16 remaining gave the Cougars their first lead (40-38) since 2-0.
But San Diego responded with an 8-1 run before Haws scored back-to-back baskets to tie the game at 46-all. The Toreros re-took the lead, and extended it to five, 54-49, after a 3-pointer by Dee.
Davies, who finished with nine rebounds and eight assists, brought BYU back again with four straight points, as the two teams traded baskets throughout the closing minutes.
The Cougars dug a hole for themselves in the first half. The Toreros gradually built a lead behind contributions from Dee and Anderson. Forward Ken Rancifer hurt the Cougars with a pair of 3-pointers that gave San Diego a 26-18 advantage.
Moments later, Dee drilled a 3-pointer that gave the Toreros their largest lead, 31-20.

Preventive Whole Brain Radiation
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
My husband's doctor recommended whole brain radiation as a preventive treatment (he doesn't have tumor in his brain). What are the pros/cons to this? What about affect on memory, thinking, etc.?
Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN OncoLink Nurse Educator responds:
The good news is that the fact that they are offering PCI (prophylactic cranial irradiation) means that your husband has responded well to chemotherapy. Small cell lung cancer has a tendency to spread outside the chest, and one of the most common sites of metastasis is the brain. In patients who have gone into remission with treatment, the chances of eventual recurrence in the brain are quite high-about 60% at two years. This is probably because the chemotherapy drugs that are used to treat small cell lung cancer do not penetrate brain tissue very well. The chance of recurrence in the brain can be reduced to about 10% by giving radiation to the brain. This is called prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI). Prophylactic means preventive or protective, and cranial irradiation refers to treatment of the whole brain with the use of high-energy x-rays in order to destroy any potential microscopic cancer in this area.
Many individual studies have shown that this prophylactic treatment reduces the chance of brain recurrence. When all the studies are examined together, it appears that there is also some improvement in overall survival in patients who get PCI compared to those who do not. The downside of this treatment is that it can delay recovery from the treatment that has already been given. There may also be some slight chance of cognitive impairment as a result of the therapy. This is not well understood because there have not been any large, long-term studies of the side effects. PCI is generally recommended for patients who have had a remission with therapy. You and your husband should discuss this in detail with his Radiation Oncologist.

Men's Tennis Hits the Road to Clemson to Commence 2014 SeasonFebruary 1, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – With high expectations for the upcoming season, Anderson University men's tennis opens its 2014 campaign with its toughest challenge of the season, as the Trojans head to Division I opponent Clemson on Sunday. First serve from the Hoke Sloan Tennis Center's Indoor Courts is set for 4 p.m.
The Trojans
Plenty of new faces will be on the courts this season for AU, as three newcomers look to make an immediate impact in 2014. The freshman tandem of Juan Carracedo and Mateo Rivas shined throughout the fall in doubles, ranking as high as fourth in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Southeast Rankings. While the duo grabbed multiple wins in doubles in the fall, they will be asked to contribute in singles action right away.
Carracedo and Rivas are joined on the roster by experienced players of sophomores Paul Michael Calhoun and Inaki Iriberry. Calhoun, who played the majority of the 2013 season at the No. 5 position, posted eight wins a season ago, while Iriberry, who played at the No. 6 spot, claimed 12 victories.
Senior Danillo Faria, and sophomores Ryan Howard and Alex Wallace have not recorded much time on the courts, but could step into a starting role to begin the season. Also looking to make an impact is newcomer Tomas Passalacqua who could be slotted into one of the starting doubles tandems.
The Tigers
Having already played seven matches this season, Clemson enters Sunday's meeting as the No. 24 ranked Division I team, nationally, according to the Division I ITA rankings, released on Thursday. The Tigers began the season with four wins in their first five matches, highlighted by a 4-2 upset victory at No. 10 Mississippi on Day 2 of the ITA Kickoff Weekend on Jan. 26.
Clemson is led by Hunter Harrington, who holds an 8-5 singles record for the fall and spring seasons and currently plays No. 1 singles and doubles. Teammate Alejandro Augusto, who has seen action at No. 1 and No. 3, is 6-5 in singles while fellow Tiger Robert Dudley, who has seen action at No. 4 and No. 5, holds a 6-3 singles mark for the year.
For the spring season, Clemson, as a team, is 10-4 in doubles play as the tandem of Harrington and Dominique Maden are 2-0 to begin the 2014 campaign. Overall, Harrington and Maden are 7-2.
The Series
The Trojans and Tigers have clashed just one other time, as then-ranked No. 24 Clemson captured a 6-0 win over AU on Jan. 30, 2004.

I'm making a REST-API and it's straight forward to do BASIC auth login. Then let HTTPS secure the connection so the password is protected when the api is used.
Can this be considered secure?
I'm making a REST-API and it's straight forward to do BASIC auth login. Then let HTTPS secure the connection so the password is protected when the api is used.
Can this be considered secure?
There are a few issues with HTTP Basic Auth:
Of those, using SSL only solves the first. And even with that, SSL only protects until the webserver - any internal routing, server logging, etc, will see the plaintext password.
So, as with anything its important to look at the whole picture.
Try to think of it this way: When you are logging in to any website using SSL, you are most likely passing password in plain-text over HTTPS (for eg GMail).
The only difference that Basic-Auth makes is that username/password is passed in the request headers instead of the request body (GET/POST).
As such, using basic-auth+https is no less or more secure than a form based authentication over HTTPS.
Basic Auth over HTTPS is good, but it's not completely safe. Similar to how Fiddler works for SSL debugging, a corporate HTTPS proxy is managing the connection between the web browser and the Proxy (whose IP address appears in your webserver logs). In that case the HTTPS password is decrypted, and later re-encrypted at the corporate proxy.
Depending on who is managing the proxy, and how its logs are used, this may be acceptable or a bad thing from your perspective.
For more information on how SSL interception is done, see this link:
Some companies get around the certificate pop-up issue mentioned above by deploying the root certificates (of the Proxy) to each workstation via GPO. Although this will only affect software that uses the Microsoft Certificate store. Software such as Firefox needs to be updated differently.
You note the need for authenticating the client and ask about the security of HTTP basic auth, over SSL. This is what SSL was designed for and will work fine so long as the password is a good one. If you're really setting this up for just a single client, that is easy to ensure by picking a long random password, e.g. 12 characters using a good source of randomness, or other techniques discussed at this site.
Your client also also does need to ensure that you have the right cert for the server. In the situation like what you describe, using a self-signed cert as described at the python ssl page referenced will be fine.
Depends entirely on how secure it needs to be. Basic auth over ssl will still be sending credentials in plain text, which means you only have one layer of protection.
You would be better off to hash the password with a nonce, or better yet use claims model that passes the auth over to a trusted 3rd party.
Plenty of large and popular sites use basic (or another forms-based) auth over HTTPS. It usually gets a 'sigh' from security-conscious people. Can you hash the password on the client-side and send the hash instead? That would raise the bar a bit more.
That said, it's generally considered acceptable, under the condition that your landing page hosting the logon form is HTTP/S as well. In your case of a RESTful API you probably don't have a landing page so that's okay. If you can, verify your application with some free security tools like Watcher and Skipfish.
I am using this myself for many things, and as long as you don't ignore any SSL warnings from the browser you should be good.
SSL works below HTTP, so any data transmitted through HTTP will be encrypted. It'll be as secure as submitting any password form, like Stack Exchange's for example.
Instead of using a self-signed certificate though, I would suggest using StartSSL. They provide free certificates and are trusted by Microsoft, Mozilla, etc., and thus it won't give an SSL warning in the browser. I think it's better to use this instead of a self-signed certificate; if you ever see an SSL error you know it's real and not just because your cert is self-signed.
Another argument not mentioned (I guess) so far is the fact that many mobile devices such as smart phones do not let the user check the certificate when doing basic auth over HTTPS in the browser. That means that unlike with forms based auth you cannot bypass the basic auth popup which is a modal dialog on most mobile platforms to check the certificate before you enter your credentials. This might pose a risk when an attacker uses a valid certificate.

[PR5] Portal not working properly
I took the code from the portal example of preview 5. I modified it, so that the portal extends from Ext.Panel instead of Ext.Viewport. I think that shouldn't be a problem.
When I create this portal (then it gets rendered into a view port) Firefox tells:
[Ext.Loader][not enabled] Missing required class: Ext.app.Portal
Does it have something to do with MVC 3 (VS 2010) that I'm using? I also tried this within a normal aspx page. This works correctly in both browsers.
I attached the solution if you are interested in this 'issue'.
/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml contains all the script referencing, including the final "page script" which creates the portal.
/Home is the MVC page that only works in IE.
/WebForms1.aspx is the default aspx page that works in FF, too.
I removed the ExtJS folder from the project due to file size. It's the original ExtJS download that I included into the project.
31 Mar 2011 12:49 AM #2
I started a new project using the new ExtJS 4 Beta 1 release.
Now it seems to work everything, also in MVC 3 mode and normal Web Forms.
I saw that the MVC view defined an HTML doctype, which I removed because I read somewhere that this might cause some problems with ExtJS 4..
After I removed the doctype, just defining clear "html - head - body" tags everything worked fine.
Tried to upload the new demo project, but failed to upload, 440 kb (unknown error).
