Police probe Thursday shooting in Northport
Gunshots were fired Thursday afternoon near West Circle in Northport, according to a report on a police scanner.
The Northport Police Department blocked off the area between the 3500 block of West Circle and the 600 block of 30th Avenue in Northport as investigators took statements from people on the scene and collected information.
Sgt. Jerome Colvin of the Northport Police Department said no other information would be released until the department has more to report.

Let $E$ be an arbitrary Banach space and let $T:E^{*}\rightarrow\ell^{2}$ be a linear continuous operator. Is it true that $T$ must be the $so$-limit (i.e., limit w.r.t. the strong operator topology) of a net $(S_{d})^{*}$ $\left(d\in\mathcal{D}\right)$ of adjoint operators, with $S_{d}$:$\ell^{2}$ $\rightarrow$ $E$ and $||S_{d}||\leq||T||$ $\left(d\in\mathcal{D}\right)$?
I guess not, say $E=c_{0}(I)$ and $T$ is a surjection, where $I$ has a "big" cardinality. But maybe I'm wrong.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Is there any occasion when you should use the Facebook style multiselect textbox (as seen in fcbkcomplete or smarttextbox) compared to a regular multiselect dropdown / list box or a set of checkboxes?
The most obvious case when to prefer such a component over a classical one is when the user is able to input something of their own that doesn't yet exist in the system (e.g. tag/classify some items).
This kind of input component works also as a direct way to both create new items and select those that already exist. The new items can then be (auto)suggested later on.
In addition to the advantage Jawa points out, the "smart" multiselect box also excels at allowing the user to select from an incredibly large number of results via filtering. As the user types "cat" in the text field, the drop-down can display only entries containing "cat," instantly showing the user whether the field they're looking for exists. If it does exist, the user can easily click or select it to add it to the box. If it doesn't exist, as Jawa points out, the user can submit it as a new entry.
In summary, this control can save the user a lot of scrolling and searching through a large number of items.
I think it depends on how familiar the users are with the data collection.
To comment on whether checkboxes might be the best option, I would need a more specific scenario description.
In terms of providing user feedback by displaying the selected data items, fcbkcomplete has the advantage that all (or at least more than one) of the selected items are visible at the same time, something which is not (necessarily) possible with dropdowns or list boxes.

I heard this problem, so I might be missing pieces. Imagine there are two cities separated by a very long road. The road has only one lane, so cars cannot overtake each other. $N$ cars are released from one of the cities, the cars travel at constant speeds $V$ chosen at random and independently from a probability distribution $P(V)$. What is the expected number of groups of cars arriving simultaneously at the other city?
P.S.: Supposedly, this was a Princeton physics qualifier problem, if that makes a difference.

Before Chris Abell left for her annual winter retreat in Florida last January, she asked daughter Kelley for one thing: Please have an elevator installed in her three-story Zorn Place condominium.
"I just felt there would be a time when I'd need the elevator to get around in here," said the still-spry octogenarian. "So it was kind of a long-term investment."
Kelley Abell's favorite description of what happened next is inscribed on a napkin: "The trouble with trouble is, it starts out as fun."
When she went into the condo after her mother had left for West Palm Beach, she was struck by how dark it was. Widowed only five years since the death of her husband Bill, whom everyone still lovingly refers to as "Scoopy" (a boyhood nickname), "my mother needed brightness, fun and happiness in here."
Kelley decided a drab couch in the living room needed to be reupholstered, and brought in her friend – decorator Mary Alexander (of Alexander Interiors on Frankfort Avenue) – to do the job.
"When we started poking around, we took down some heavy drapes and saw how the paint on the walls had darkened," recalled Alexander. "The walls needed a repainting, as well."
"We decided on a new, overall design theme," said Kelley. "Bright and happy."
Like pulling on a thread, the reupholstered couch that led to the repainted walls led to a wholesale redecoration of the condo's main floor until the entire place was unrecognizable. They even re-landscaped the charming front patio behind the iron gates. (Barbie Tafel Thomas Exterior & Landscape Design on Starmont Road planted a magnolia, boxwoods and a climbing vine.)
The living room was painted a light and inviting white, with a soft aqua textured linen wallpaper in key areas.
The couch – now a bright, textured woven coral with a whimsical bubble pattern – led to the need for other furniture. Two new club chairs with colorful floral patterns joined the room, along with a blue and white polka dot ottoman and a black and tan diamond-patterned rug.
Alexander had trim and moldings added to a wall of built-ins (by Sutton's Classic Renovation on Glen Rose Road) and plantation shutters where those heavy drapes had been. But mostly, Alexander decorated not with new acquisitions but by relocating and repurposing items that had long existed in Chris's possession.
The pièce de résistance was her collection of family photos – her late husband, four children, three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren – taken from the shelves or elsewhere in the house, reframed and assembled in a presentation that now occupies an entire wall of the living room. (Art Emporium on Wilmington Avenue in St. Matthews did the framing.)
"I love taking clients' possessions, looking at them proportionally and rearranging them by shapes and styles," said Alexander.
For example, Alexander found in Chris's basement the inside top of an old steamer trunk, once owned by and painted by Mary Alice Hadley, that now hangs as a piece of art over the doorway to the kitchen.
The kitchen itself was repainted Candlelit Beige (from Porter Paints) with all new cabinetry as a perch for Chris's collection of roosters – ceramic, wood, metal, etc.
The vaulted living room is now a dramatic cranberry color (from the old yellowy-beige), with Chris's existing furniture rearranged into comfortable conversation areas and clear, open sightlines. A mirror over the fireplace had once been owned by actress Helen Hayes.
And a little-used sun room in the back, with three walls of windows, was made inviting and functional by bringing in a whimsical coral-red couch with a monkeys-and-trees pattern that Alexander found in the home's lower level.
All this went on while Chris passed a happy Florida winter with her other longtime companion, 17-year-old rescue dog Sandy, unaware that her home was being transformed. In fact, Alexander's challenge was making decisions while the actual client was a thousand miles away.
The moment of truth arrived last weekend, when Kelley assembled a surprise "Extreme Home Makeover" party of 40 – family, friends and the various subcontractors – to greet her mother's return.
"I didn't know what all these people were doing in my house," said Chris. "Then I saw that wall of pictures. That's when I realized – and I cried. And when everyone went home and I was by myself, I cried again. Because it was beautiful, I loved every detail, and it was done with love."
The only fly in the ointment: In all that time, the elevator has not yet been completed.
And that's the trouble with trouble. It started out as a reupholstered couch. But this time, it will end up fine.

What's Titanfall like on Xbox 360? It's "coming along really well"Written by: / / 4 Comments
With under a month to go until launch, and following a flurry of excitement during the recently concluded online beta test, we've been made fully aware that Titanfall running on Xbox One and PC is a superb, smooth and frenetic experience
If you don't believe us (and our hands-on preview), then the below-appearing TV advert will go some ways to convincing you that Titanfall is worth watching out for:
But what about the Xbox 360 version of the shooter?
While Titanfall looks to run perfectly well on Xbox One, the vast majority of the console gaming audience won't have a chance to play on Microsoft's new console, and with tens of millions of Xbox 360s in households around the world it's in the best interests of EA, Respawn Entertainment and Bluepoint Games to deliver the very best game possible on the older machine.
Following a delay of the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, effectively pushing back the launch of this version by two weeks past that of the Xbox One and PC editions, there might have been some concern in the gaming populace surrounding Bluepoint's iteration of the shooter. To clear up these concerns, Respawn Entertainment producer Drew McCoy recently piped up on NeoGAF to assuage your fears, writing:
"Oh, and for all the speculation going on about the 360 version. Its coming along really well, Bluepoint is full of phenomenally talented devs. We (being Respawn) have been pushing for them to have all the time they need to make it as good as possible, which means extra time for them to polish it up. We'd all like it to be day and date, but a better game a few weeks later is better than an unfinished one earlier."
That's certainly good to know, but since the game's announcement it seems as though Titanfall has become known as an Xbox One game first and foremost, despite the fact that it'll be available on three platoforms.
Will you be playing Titanfall on Xbox 360, sight unseen, or are you looking to see more of the game running on the ageing console before you commit to this version?
Titanfall is out on Xbox One and PC on March 11th in North America, March 13th in Europe and March 14th in the UK. The Xbox 360 version is out on March 25th in North America, and March 28th in the UK and Europe following a delay.
Have you waded through El33tonline's already extensive current and continued coverage? You can find even more videos, screenshots and details. Also don't miss El33tonline's hands-on preview of Titanfall, as well as our impressions of the game from E3 2013, and our in-depth interview with producer Drew McCoy.

Chelsea Easterly was resting at home over the weekend after taking a spill off her horse in the Wheat Festival Parade Friday night in Wellington.
She felt fortunate to have only minor injuries after the horse bucked her off and she landed on the pavement on her head and hip. Quick thinking on her part also prevented a four-year-old boy from getting hurt.
The child, Aiden, her fiance's son, was riding in the saddle in front of her. She grabbed the child and held on to him as she fell.
"I grabbed him and twisted him to get him on top of me," she said.
One of her family members was making a video of the ride, and she watched the accident several times Saturday.
"He never touched the pavement," she said of the young boy.
The parade was stopped after she fell. A crowd of about 10 people gathered around her until emergency medical people arrived.
She said someone who was a retired EMT talked to her and kept her calm until help arrived.
"I heard Shelly Hansel talking, and as calm as she sounded, that helped me too," she said.
She said there was a group of horses ahead of her group and they seemed edgy for the whole parade. Easterly said he has no idea why her horse became agitated and started bucking. It could have been the uneasiness of the other horses.
She has ridden that horse in three previous Wheat Festival parades, and several other parades and never any problem with the horse.
"That horse is 13 years old, very broken and very used to parades," she said.
The child has ridden the horse by himself, so she was surprised when it started bucking in that situation.
She was determined to not let the boy hit the ground, and she said she doesn't remember hitting the ground herself. She remembers her hip and head hurting, and wondering if the boy was ok.
"They told me he was sitting in a lawn chair, eating candy and wondering why he couldn't get back on the horse and finish the parade," she said. "The boy knows no fear."
Easterly has been involved with horses for eight years or more. She trains horses, breaks them and gives riding lessons. She said she has been thrown off horses a lot, but never in a parade and never on pavement.
She was examined at the hospital. There were no broken bones and there was no concussion. She has a large lump on her head and several bruises.
She plans to take it easy for a few more days, and then get back on a horse as soon as possible.
Page 2 of 2 - She wants to thank the police, the EMT's and everyone else who was there at the scene.
She appreciated Aviator Church Mark Cress coming to the ER at the hospital and praying for her.
"I am thankful for everyone's prayers and thoughts," she said.

NORFOLK, Virginia (CNN) – In a late campaign push to change the battleground map, Mitt Romney will travel to Pennsylvania on Sunday in the hopes of capturing the traditionally Democratic-leaning state. A Romney campaign official confirmed to CNN the GOP nominee will stop in the Philadelphia area Sunday afternoon.
The Pennsylvania event falls into the Romney campaign's newly adopted strategy of expanding the battleground map in the final week of the race. Top strategists to the GOP nominee targeted Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota this week for potential gains, pointing to polls in the states that show Romney gaining on the President.
A Franklin and Marshall College poll released Wednesday, for example, indicated President Obama Obama had a 49%-45% edge over his Republican opponent.
Romney's campaign began purchasing air time in the state this week–a move that was countered by Obama's team. The campaign also announced Rep. Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate, will be traveling to Middletown, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The Obama campaign immediately scoffed at Romney's Pennsylvania trip as an "act of desperation."
"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going all in Pennsylvania, following the lead of every Republican presidential candidate since 1992 who have made last ditch investments in the Keystone State. Not one of them carried the state," Obama campaign northeast regional press secretary Michael Czin said in a statement.
The Romney campaign instantly fired back, accusing the president's re-election advisers of reacting from a "defensive crouch."
"We are looking at an expanded map, while the Obama campaign is pouring resources into states that were supposed to be safe for them," a Romney campaign official said.
"I totally understand why Chicago is freaking out, but I just thought they'd be better at hiding it," the official added.
In the final days before the 2008 election, then GOP nominee John McCain and his running mate, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin made campaign stops in Pennsylvania with similar hopes but to no avail.
In a strategy memo, Romney campaign officials referred to recent comments made by former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell who said Democrats could let down their guards in the state, opening up the possibility of a "startling upset."
Former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, a Romney surrogate, predicted the GOP nominee would win the state in an interview on Fox News Thursday. Romney's upcoming visit to Pennsylvania was first reported by The Daily.

How does one obtain and install KSokoban on Ubuntu 12.10? It used to be there in KDE 3, but is gone now.
Apparently, KSokoban hasn't been ported to KDE4. Searching in kde.org I could find a few things:
The KDE (Legacy) Games Center says:
That's the only mention to the game in games.kde.org.
Its source code doesn't seem to have been changed in years.
There's a bug in bugs.kde.org asking to port it, but its status is "unconfirmed": Bug 167910 - Port KSokoban to KDE4. In that bug is mentioned that KSokoban was being worked on, with the name Magazynier, but I guess it was never released. I couldn't find anything with that name in the repos, and its source code hasn't been touched in more than 2 years. A search for magazynier in projects.kde.org shows no results. In this thread the author says:
But that seems to be the last.
Other bugs for ksokoban are closed with unmaintained status.
Other than that, there are some mailing list and forum threads that mention it, saying that there is no KSokoban in KDE4.
The project ksokoban in SourceForge, mentioned by @vasa1 in a comment, says it "requires KDE4 and Qt4", but its only file release as of now is a Windows program.
KSokoban is referred to as Magic Sokoban in Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 and 12.10.
I thought I'll try to rewrite it for KDE 4 myself. Here is the result. (This is probably a terrible way of distributing it, but I have no idea how to go about packaging, and most of the tutorials/documentation I found online was not helpful.)
While ksokoban might not be available, SokoMind is a very similar replacement:

I need help on choosing from the ones currently available or pointers on building my own. I looked at some Linux distros like Arch Linux and Damn Small Linux, but I haven't decided yet. And also it would be great if someone could help me on how to run a custom program immediately on bootup.
Thanks for the help, in advance.

There's a good chance you've seen Velodyne in the news recently…and didn't even know it. Although Velodyne's HDL-64E LiDAR sensor has been the main force behind autonomous vehicles for some time, the media pitch is clearly on the rise.
It began with the State of Nevada, which recently became the first state in the nation to formally approve legislation authorizing the use of autonomous vehicles on its roadway. Among other things, Assembly Bill No. 511 authorizes the state's Department of Transportation to develop rules and regulations governing the use of driverless cars.
The public also recently saw the real-life benefits of this technology when California resident Steve Mahan, who is legally blind, was "chauffeured" to a local Taco Bell by a driverless car…
Did you notice the distinctively shaped cylinder spinning on the roof of the car? That's the HDL-64E LiDAR sensor hard at work. It contains 64 fixed-mounted lasers that are continuously measuring the surrounding environment. Each laser is mechanically mounted at a specific vertical angle, reading its surroundings while the entire unit spins. It generates 1.3 million points per second output rate.
And you may have seen this technology a few years ago without realizing it. If you're a Radiohead fan, you already know they were nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for Best Short Form Music Video for "House of Cards".
The inspiration for the video idea came from Aaron Koblin, an electronic artist and researcher at UCLA. Koblin created the flight pattern map featured at the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Koblin said he thought Radiohead would be the only band out there willing to take a risk by making a music video without cameras. Check out how Radiohead used our HDL-64E to create their vision for the song:
Thom Yorke, Radiohead's lead singer commented on the creative process for the video. "I always liked the idea of using technology in a way that it wasn't meant to be used, the struggle to get your head round what you can do with it. I like the idea of making a video of human being and real and time without using any cameras, just lasers, so there are just mathematical points – and how strangely emotional it ended up being," he said.
You can be sure this is not the last you'll see of that spinning cylinder.

My introduction to sushi was like most Californians': California roll after California roll after California roll.. boring! It wasn't until my Freshman year in college that I truly understood why my friend Becky would say sushi was like a "party in my mouth!" To me, sushi is all about bold, complex flavors coming together, in hopes to create a sense of umami. For years I had been itching to recreate this experience in my own kitchen, but always felt like it would be too much work or that I did not have the right materials, etc. Last night I decided it was time, and I came to find that it was super easy, fun, and surprisingly time consuming, but oh-so-worth-it!
The first thing to pay attention to is the rice. You want to use a very short grain of white rice. Once cooked, you mix the rice with rice vinegar and some optional sesame oil for added flavor. Any nori will do. (Ignore price differences; they will all get the job done). Other that that, make sure that you have a few yummy fixings to fill your sushi with. At home, I personally wouldn't bother with fish, and besides, there is a plethora of delicious options that do not include fish. Otherwise, make sure to ensure the quality (sushi grade) and freshness of your fish.
Here are 5 tasty, fish free, pairing ideas:
- bbq baked tofu, mashed sweet potato with butter/brown sugar/salt/pepper/roasted garlic, and shallot
- sheshuan baked tofu, carrot, cucumber, and apple
- teryaki baked tofu, pineapple, roast red pepper, and cucumber
- cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, and sesame seeds
- hoisin baked tofu, shredded ginger, and orange slices

As I understand it, mathematics is concerned with correct deductions using postulates and rules of inference. From what I have seen, statements are called true if they are correct deductions and false if they are incorrect deductions. If this is the case, then there is no need for the words true and false. I have read something along the lines that Godel's incompleteness theorems prove that there are true statements which are unprovable, but if you cannot prove a statement, how can you be certain that it is true? And if a statement is unprovable, what does it mean to say that it is true?
Tarski defined what it means to say that a first-order statement is true in a structure $M\models \varphi$ by a simple induction on formulas. This is a completely mathematical definition of truth.
Goedel defined what it means to say that a statement $\varphi$ is provable from a theory $T$, namely, there should be a finite sequence of statements constituting a proof, meaning that each statement is either an axiom or follows from earlier statements by certain logical rules. (There are numerous equivalent proof systems, useful for various purposes.)
The Completeness Theorem of first order logic, proved by Goedel, asserts that a statement $\varphi$ is true in all models of a theory $T$ if and only if there is a proof of $\varphi$ from $T$. Thus, for example, any statement in the language of group theory is true in all groups if and only if there is a proof of that statement from the basic group axioms.
The Incompleteness Theorem, also proved by Goedel, asserts that any consistent theory $T$ extending some a very weak theory of arithmetic admits statements $\varphi$ that are not provable from $T$, but which are true in the intended model of the natural numbers. That is, we prove in a stronger theory that is able to speak of this intended model that $\varphi$ is true there, and we also prove that $\varphi$ is not provable in $T$. This is the sense in which there are true-but-unprovable statements.
The situation can be confusing if you think of provable as a notion by itself, without thinking much about varying the collection of axioms. After all, as the background theory becomes stronger, we can of course prove more and more. The true-but-unprovable statement is really unprovable-in-$T$, but provable in a stronger theory.
Actually, although ZFC proves that every arithmetic statement is either true or false in the standard model of the natural numbers, nevertheless there are certain statements for which ZFC does not prove which of these situations occurs.
Much or almost all of mathematics can be viewed with the set-theoretical axioms ZFC as the background theory, and so for most of mathematics, the naive view equating true with provable in ZFC will not get you into trouble. But the independence phenomenon will eventually arrive, making such a view ultimately unsustainable. The fact is that there are numerous mathematical questions that cannot be settled on the basis of ZFC, such as the Continuum Hypothesis and many other examples. We have of course many strengthenings of ZFC to stronger theories, involving large cardinals and other set-theoretic principles, and these stronger theories settle many of those independent questions. Some set theorists have a view that these various stronger theories are approaching some kind of undescribable limit theory, and that it is that limit theory that is the true theory of sets. Others have a view that set-theoretic truth is inherently unsettled, and that we really have a multiverse of different concepts of set. On that view, the situation is that we seem to have no standard model of sets, in the way that we seem to have a standard model of arithmetic.
I say that $$ \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi} $$ is true .... and any talk about "correct deductions using postulates" is a rationalization added later. Mathematicians knew this fact (yes, fact) even before the field of mathematical logic began.
Part of the reason for the confusion here is that the word "true" is sometimes used informally, and at other times it is used as a technical mathematical term.
Informally, asserting that "X is true" is usually just another way to assert X itself. When I say, "I believe that the Riemann hypothesis is true," I just mean that I believe that all the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function lie on the critical line. (Note in particular that I'm not claiming to have a proof of the Riemann hypothesis!) This insight is due to Tarski. If you know what a mathematical statement X asserts, then "X is true" states no more and no less than what X itself asserts. Now, there is a slight caveat here: Mathematicians being cautious folk, some of them will refrain from asserting that X is true unless they know how to prove X or at least believe that X has been proved. So in some informal contexts, "X is true" actually means "X is proved." As we would expect of informal discourse, the usage of the word is not always consistent.
The word "true" can, however, be defined mathematically. Truth is a property of sentences. If you have defined a formal language $L$, such as the first-order language of arithmetic, then you can define a sentence $S$ in $L$ to be true if and only if $S$ holds of the natural numbers. So for example the sentence $\exists x: x > 0$ is true because there does indeed exist a natural number greater than 0. Here it is important to note that true is not the same as provable. The formal sentence corresponding to the twin prime conjecture (which I won't bother writing out here) is true if and only if there are infinitely many twin primes, and it doesn't matter that we have no idea how to prove or disprove the conjecture.
Now, perhaps this bothers you. Is it legitimate to define truth in this manner? Some people don't think so. However, note that there is really nothing different going on here from what we normally do in mathematics. When we were sitting in our number theory class, we all knew what it meant for there to be infinitely many twin primes. Why should we suddenly stop understanding what this means when we move to the mathematical logic classroom? If we understand what it means, then there should be no problem with defining some particular formal sentence to be true if and only if there are infinitely many twin primes. It is as legitimate a mathematical definition as any other mathematical definition.
Now, how can we have true but unprovable statements? And if we had one how would we know? Joel David Hamkins explained this well, but in brief, "unprovable" is always with respect to some set of axioms. Therefore it is possible for some statement to be true but unprovable from some particular set of axioms $A$. In order to know that it's true, of course, we still have to prove it, but that will be a proof from some other set of axioms besides $A$.
Both the optimistic view that all true mathematical statements can be proven and its denial are respectable positions in the philosophy of mathematics, with the pessimistic view being more popular. The question is more philosophical than mathematical, hence, I guess, your question's downvotes.
Neil Tennant 's Taming of the True (1997) argues for the optimistic thesis, and covers a lot of ground on the way. I recommend it to you if you want to explore the issue.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has several articles on theories of truth, which may be helpful for getting acquainted with what is known in the area. Their top-level article is
There are several more specialized articles in the table of contents.
Let me offer an explanation of the difference between truth and provability from postulates which is (I think) slightly different from those already presented. (Although perhaps close in spirit to that of Gerald Edgars's.)
First of all, if we are talking about results of the form "for all groups, ..." or "for all topological spaces, ... " then in this case truth and provability are essentially the same: a result is true if it can be deduced from the axioms. (There is the caveat that the notion of group or topological space involves the underlying notion of set, and so the choice of ambient set theory plays a role. This role is usually tacit, but for certain questions becomes overt and important; nevertheless, I will ignore it here, possibly at my peril.)
But other results, e.g in number theory, reason not from axioms but from the natural numbers. Of course, along the way, you may use results from group theory, field theory, topology, ..., which will be applicable provided that you apply them to structures that satisfy the axioms of the relevant theory. But in the end, everything rests on the properties of the natural numbers, which (by Godel) we know can't be captured by the Peano axioms (or any other finitary axiom scheme). How do we agree on what is true then? Well, experience shows that humans have a common conception of the natural numbers, from which they can reason in a consistent fashion; and so there is agreement on truth.
If you like, this is not so different from the model theoretic description of truth, except that I want to add that we are given certain models (e.g. the standard model of the natural numbers) on which we agree and which form the basis for much of our mathematics. (Again, certain types of reasoning, e.g. about arbitrary subsets of the natural numbers, can lead to set-theoretic complications, and hence (at least potential) disagreement, but let me also ignore that here.)
In summary: certain areas of mathematics (e.g. number theory) are not about deductions from systems of axioms, but rather about studying properties of certain fundamental mathematical objects. Axiomatic reasoning then plays a role, but is not the fundamental point.
There are two answers to your question:
• A statement is true in absolute if it can be proven formally from the axioms.
Assuming your set of axioms is consistent (which is equivalent to the existence of a model), then
Conversely, if a statement is not true in absolute, then there exists a model in which it is false.
Let's take an example to illustrate all this.
Let $P$ be a property of integer numbers, and let's assume that you want to know whether the formula $\exists n\in \mathbb Z : P(n)$ is true.
Three situations can occur:
This is a question which I spent some time thinking about myself when first encountering Goedel's incompleteness theorems. I should add the disclaimer that I am no expert in logic and set theory, but I think I can answer this question sufficiently well to understand statements such as Goedel's incompleteness theorems (at least, sufficiently well to satisfy myself).
One one end of the scale, there are statements such as CH and AOC which are independent of ZF set theory, so it is not at all clear if they are really true and we could argue about such things forever. Even for statements which are true in the sense that it is possible to prove that they hold in all models of ZF, it is still possible that in an alternative theory they could fail. Even things like the intermediate value theorem, which I think we can agree is true, can fail with intuitionistic logic.
On the other end of the scale, there are statements which we should agree are true independently of any model of set theory or foundation of maths. For example, I know that 3+4=7. There are simple rules for addition of integers which we just have to follow to determine that such an identity holds. You might come up with some freaky model of integer addition following different rules where 3+4=6, but that is really a different statement involving a different operation from what is commonly understood by addition. Similarly, I know that there are positive integral solutions to $x^2+y^2=z^2$. To verify that such equations have a solution we just need to iterate through all possible triples $(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{N}^3$ and test whether $x^2+y^2=z^2$, stopping when a solution is reached. In this case we are guaranteed to arrive at some solution, such as (3,4,5), proving that there is indeed a solution to the equation.
More generally, consider any statement which can be interpreted in terms of a deterministic, computable, algorithm. If we simply follow through that algorithm and find that, after some finite number of steps, the algorithm terminates in some state then the truth of that statement should hold regardless of the logic system we are founding our mathematical universe on.
So, there are statements of the following form: "A specified program (P) for some Turing machine and given initial state (S0) will eventually terminate in some specified final state (S1)". If such a statement is true, then we can prove it by simply running the program - step by step until it reaches the final state. Such statements, I would say, must be true in all reasonable foundations of logic & maths. Identities involving addition and multiplication of integers fall into this category, as there are standard rules of addition & multiplication which we can program. So does the existence of solutions to diophantine equations like $x^2+y^2=z^2$. Existence in any one reasonable logic system implies existence in any other.
At the next level, there are statements which are falsifiable by a computable algorithm, which are of the following form: "A specified program (P) for some Turing machine with initial state (S0) will never terminate". For example, "There are no positive integer solutions to $x^3+y^3=z^3$" fall into this category. You can write a program to iterate through all triples (x,y,z) checking whether $x^3+y^3=z^3$. Fermat's last theorem tells us that this will never terminate. We can never prove this by running such a program, as it would take forever. However, the negation of statement such as this is just of the previous form, whose truth I just argued, holds independently of the "reasonable" logic system used (this is basically $\omega$-consistency, used by Goedel). That is, if I can write an algorithm which I can prove is never going to terminate, then I wouldn't believe some alternative logic which claimed that it did. In the same way, if you came up with some alternative logical theory claiming that there there are positive integer solutions to $x^3+y^3=z^3$ (without providing any explicit solutions, of course), then I wouldn't hesitate in saying that the theory is wrong. Statements like $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2}\\,dx=\sqrt{\pi} $$ are also of this form. Assuming we agree on what integration, $e^{-x^2}$, $\pi$ and $\sqrt{\ }$ mean, then we can write a program which will evaluate both sides of this identity to ever increasing levels of accuracy, and terminates if the two sides disagree to this accuracy. The identity is then equivalent to the statement that this program never terminates.
Going through the proof of Goedels incompleteness theorem generates a statement of the above form. i.e., "Program P with initial state S0 never terminates" with two properties. (1) If the program P terminates it returns a proof that the program never terminates in the logic system. (2) If there exists a proof that P terminates in the logic system, then P never terminates.
So, if P terminated then it would generate a proof that the logic system is inconsistent and, similarly, if the program never terminates then it is not possible to prove this within the given logic system.
In fact, P can be constructed as a program which searches through all possible proof strings in the logic system until it finds a proof of "P never terminates", at which point it terminates. The assumptions required for the logic system are that is "effectively generated", basically meaning that it is possible to write a program checking all possible proofs of a statement.
This is a philosophical question, rather than a matehmatical one. Anyway personally (it's a metter of personal taste!) I totally agree that mathematics is more about correctness than about truth.
In the following paragraphs I will try to (partially) answer your specific doubts about Goedel incompleteness in a down to earth way, with the caveat that I'm no expert in logic nor I am a philosopher. (See also this MO question, from which I will borrow a piece of notation). I had some doubts about whether to post this answer, as it resulted being a bit too verbose, but in the end I thought it may help to clarify the related philosophical questions to a non-mathematician, and also to myself.
The point is that there are several "levels" in which you can "state" a certain mathematical statement; more: in theory, in order to make clear what you formally want to state, along with the informal "verbal" mathematical statement itself (such as $2+2=4$) you should specify in which "level" it sits. (Of course, as mathematicians don't want to get crazy, in everyday practice all of this is left completely as understood, even in mathematical logic).
For example, suppose we work in the framework of Zermelo-Frenkel set theory ZF (plus a formal logical deduction system, such as Hilbert-Frege HF): let's call it Set1. In this setting, you can talk formally about sets and draw correct (relative to the deduction system) inferences about sets from the axioms. You can also formally talk and prove things about other mathematical entities (such as $\mathbb{N}$, $\mathbb{R}$, algebraic varieties or operators on Hilbert spaces), but everything always boils down to sets.
Still in this framework (that we called Set1) you can also play the game that logicians play: talking, and proving things, about theories $T$. How? Well, you only have sets, and in terms of sets alone you can define "logical symbols", the "language" $L$ of the theory you want to talk about, the "well formed formulae" in $L$, and also the set of "axioms" of your theory. Examples of such theories are Peano arithmetic PA (that in this incarnation we should perhaps call PA2), group theory, and (which is the reason of your perplexity) a version of Zermelo-Frenkel set theory ZF as well (that we will call Set2). Note that every piece of Set2 "is" a set of Set1: even the "$\in$" symbol, or the "$=$" symbol, of Set2 is itself a set (e.g. a string of 0's and 1's specifying it's ascii character code...) of which we can formally talk within Set1, likewise every logical formula regardless of its "truth" or even well-formedness. Stating that a certain formula can be deduced from the axioms in Set2 reduces to a certain "combinatorial" (syntactical) assertion in Set1 about sets that describe sentences of Set2.
The good think about having a meta-theory Set1 in which to construct (or from which to see) other formal theories $T$ is that you can compare different theories, and the good thing of this meta-theory being a set theory is that you can talk of models of these theories: you have a notion of semantics.
In the light of what we've said so far, you can think of the statement "$2+2=4$" either as a statement about natural numbers (elements of $\mathbb{N}$, constructed as "finite von Neumann ordinals" within Set1, for which $0:=\emptyset$, $1:=${$\emptyset$} etc.); or as a sentence of PA2 (which is actually itself a bare set, of which Set1 can talk).
An interesting (or quite obvious?) thing is that in some cases it makes sense to go on to "construct theories" also within the lower levels. For example, within Set2 you can easily mimick what you did at the above level and have formal theories, such as ZF set theory itself, again (which we can call Set3)! A crucial observation of Goedel's is that you can construct a version of Peano arithmetic not only within Set2 but even within PA2 itself (not surprisingly we'll call such a theory PA3). So you have natural numbers (of which PA2 formulae talk of) codifying sentences of Peano arithmetic!
So, if we loosely write "$A-\triangleright B$" to indicate that the theory or structure $B$ can be "constructed" (or "formalized") within the theory $A$, we have a picture like this:
Set1 $-\triangleright$ ($\mathbb{N}$; PA2 $-\triangleright$ PA3; Set2 $-\triangleright$ Set3; T2 $-\triangleright$ T3; ...).
So, you see that in some cases a theory can "talk about itself": PA2 talks about sentences of PA3 (as they are just natural numbers!), and there is a formally precise way of stating and proving, within Set1, that "PA3 is essentially the same thing as PA2 in disguise".
Furthermore, you can make sense of otherwise loose questions such as "Can the theory $T$ prove it's own consistency?". How? Well, you construct (within Set1) a version of $T$, say T2, and within T2 formalize another theory T3 that also "works exatly as $T$". Then you have to formalize the notion of proof.
So, the Goedel incompleteness result stating that
is really a theorem of Set1 asserting that "PA2 cannot prove the consistency of PA3". This means: however you've codified the axioms and formulae of PA as natural numbers and the deduction rules as sentences about natural numbers (all within PA2), there is no way, manipulating correctly the formulae of PA2, to obtain a formula (expressed of course in terms of logical relations between natural numbers, according to your codification) that reads like "It is not true that axioms of PA3 imply $1\neq 1$".
You can say an exactly analogous thing about Set2 $-\triangleright$ Set3, and likewise about every theory "at least compliceted as PA".
Now, about truth. First of all, the distinction between provability a and truth, as far as I understand it. It is easy to say what being "provable" means for a formula in a formal theory $T$: it means that you can obtain it applying correct inferences starting from the axioms of $T$. This is a purely syntactical notion.
The concept of "truth", as understood in the semantic sense, poses some problems, as it depends on a set-theory-like meta-theory within which you are supposed to work (say, Set1). Saying that a certain formula of $T$ is true means that it holds true once interpreted in every model of $T$ (Of course for this definition to be of any use, $T$ must have models!).
If we could convince ourselves in a rigorous way that ZF was a consistent theory (and hence had "models"), it would be great because then we could simply define a sentence to be "true" if it holds in every model. This was Hilbert's program. Unfortunately, as said above, it is impossible to rigorously (within ZF itself for example) prove the consistency of ZF.
About true undecidable statements.
The assertion of Goedel's that
is a theorem of Set1 stating that there is a sentence of PA2 that holds true* in any model of PA2 (such as $\mathbb{N}$) but is not obtainable as the conclusion of a finite set of correct logical inference steps from the axioms of PA2.
*(that a sentence of PA2 is "true in any model" here means: "the corresponding interpretation of that sentence in each model, which is a sentence of Set1, is a consequence of the axioms of Set1")
According to Goedel's theorems, you can find undecidable statements in any consistent theory which is rich enough to describe elementary arithmetic. That is, such a theory is either inconsistent or incomplete.
About meaning of "truth".
Foundational problems about the absolute meaning of truth arise in the "zeroth" level, i.e. about sentences expressed in what is supposed to be the foundational theory Th0 for all of mathematics According to some, this Th0 ought to be itself a formal theory, such as ZF or some theory of classes or something weaker or different; and according to others it cannot be prescribed but in an informal way and reflect some ontological -or psychological- entity such as the "real universe of sets". I would roughly classify the former viewpoint as "formalism" and the second as "platonism".
One point in favour of the platonism is that you have an absolute concept of truth in mathematics. One drawback is that you have to commit an act of faith about the existence of some "true universe of sets" on which you have no rigorous control (and hence the absolute concept of truth is not formally well defined). According to platonism, the Goedel incompleteness results say that
On the other hand, one point in favour of "formalism" (in my sense) is that you don't need any ontological commitment about mathematics, but you still have a perfectly rigorous -though relative- control of your statements via checking the correctness of their derivation from some set of axioms (axioms that vary according to what you want to do). One consequence (not necessarily a drawback in my opinion) is that the Goedel incompleteness results assume the meaning:
In my humble opinion, the best reference for this kind of questions is Bourbaki's "Set Theory" ... Actually, I would recommend Bourbaki's book to people who, like me, have trouble to understand other texts on the same subject.
The answer to the "unprovable but true" question is found on Wikipedia:
If 'true' isn't the same as provable according to a set of specific axioms and rules, then, since every such provable statement is true, then there must be 'true' statements that are not provable – otherwise provable and true would be synonymous. That means that as long as you define true as being different to provable, you don't actually need Godel's incompleteness theorems to show that there are true statements which are unprovable.
Tarski's definition of truth assumes that there can be a statement A which is true because there can exist a infinite number of proofs of an infinite number of individual statements that together constitute a proof of statement A - even if no proof of the entirety of these infinite number of individual statements exists. So Tarksi's proof is basically reliant on a Platonist viewpoint that an infinite number of proofs of infinite number of particular individual statements exists, even though no proof can be shown that this is the case. Whether Tarski's definition is a clarification of truth is a matter of opinion, not a matter of fact.

Is it Philosophy or Mathematics? Both?
I think it is Philosophical Question having a Mathematical Response.
This question cannot be rigorously expressed nor solved mathematically, nevertheless a philosopher may "understand" the question and may even "find" the response. This response obviously exists because it can only be YES or NO (and this is a binary mathematical response), unfortunately the correct answer is not yet known. Despite the fact no rigorous argument may lead (even by a philosopher) to discover the correct response, the response may be discovered empirically in say some billion years simply by oberving if all nowadays mathematical conjectures have been solved or not.
I am attonished by how little is known about logic by mathematicians. I am sorry, I dont want to insult anyone, it is just a realisation about the common "meta-knowledege" about what we are doing. (This is not the first question that I see here that should be solved in an undergraduate course in mathematical logic)

Generally, there are three types of thoracic outlet syndrome.
Neurogenic (neurological) thoracic outlet syndrome. This form of thoracic outlet syndrome is characterized by compression of the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that come from your spinal cord and control muscle movements and sensation in your shoulder, arm and hand.
In the majority of thoracic outlet syndrome cases, the symptoms are neurogenic.
Nonspecific-type thoracic outlet syndrome. This type is also called disputed thoracic outlet syndrome. Some doctors don't believe it exists, while others say it's a common disorder.
People with nonspecific-type thoracic outlet syndrome have chronic pain in the area of the thoracic outlet that worsens with activity, but the specific cause of the pain can't be determined.
Thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms can vary, depending on which structures are compressed. When nerves are compressed, signs and symptoms of neurological thoracic outlet syndrome include:
Signs and symptoms of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome can include:
See your doctor if you consistently experience any of the signs and symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome.

Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur gathered 'round the table for the first-ever episode of its all-lady talk show that's a lot like The View. So, how did it go?
Nerves! Today was all about nerves! All of the ladies couldn't stop chattering about how nervous they were—not that it really showed. Holly cried, Leah was petrified, and Sarah was nervous—but Sharon and Julie played it cool like old pros.
Leah Remini made it clear on the first day that she's the one to make animated .gifs of, thankyouverymuch. Her faces and movements were laughable—for example, this clip where she explains how she's taught her daughter to call her private area her "cupcake."
How did the show come to be? Apparently, it's Sara Gilbert's brainchild (who also happens to be the show's executive producer.) She's easily the most likeable of the bunch. Below, she explains how the idea came to her. To be fair, it does sound like this show will focus more on parenting than politics, which we know The View loves more than anything.
And no, the ladies didn't know each other before the show. Watch them get to know each other and learn how to host below:
You know how The View always ends with "take a little time to enjoy The View"? This show's tagline of "It's always the right time to have The Talk isn't only a direct rip-off, but when has having "the talk" made anyone anything other than anxious and uncomfortable? "The Talk" implies a big conversation about a relationship or even worse: the time your parents told you the awkward details of sex.
Unless you're a mother with nothing else to do with your afternoons, we suggest you watch anything other than this. It's torture, pure and simple. Disagree? Weigh in below!

My level 15 Dreadnought Fighter recently found a Shield of Deflection, which has "Property: Gain resist 5 to damage from all ranged attacks." I know that a crossbow attack or magic missile would be a ranged attack, but what about area bursts? What about damage that comes off of creature that is hit by a ranged attack, such as Erupting Flare or Force Orb?
Sign up

A ranged attack is any power which has a ranged keyword.
First: The shield of deflection*:
As per the ruling on magic missile, there is a headache inducing thread** as to what constitutes an attack, or attack power.
For purposes of the shield, if it has "ranged" or "area" in its range line, it should count.
To re-articulate the conclusions of the thread, I'll be ignoring it and going to the PHB FAQ which states:
Therefore, because if something has a ranged or area ranged line it must, perforce, have a target lines, for purposes of this question it is the only necessary criterion to determine resistance.
The force orb secondary attack may qualify for the resist
Force orb, ultimately comes down to the DM's call. While the secondary target does not have ranged nor area in the target line, it is producing the effect equivalent to an area from a ranged attack. One argument in favour could be that it inherets the "ranged" range from the primary attack, as it has not overriden that range. One argument against is that the use of "adjacent creatures" indeed overrides that range with the functional equivalent to a close range. Offer your DM asprin and a link to the above thread. Bribery may be useful here.
The erupting flare non-attack damage does not qualify for the resist
This taken from PHB FAQ as above, given that the power neither targeted the character nor was an attack against the character with ranged or area keywords, the character would suffer the full effects of erupting flare.
Area attacks do qualify for the resist if you are using the normal item
Being targeted by a normal area attack does qualify you for the resist so long as you are using the item as printed, rather than the item you paraphrased.
*One of my most favourite common items to builds that don't need IAoP. Just love it. Looking at the paragon version, it has indeed benefited from errata making it more generally useful.
**Warning, over 500 posts long. It really is painful.
A Ranged attack is any attack with a range such as ranged weapon, or ranged X squares. Area and close attacks are thus not ranged attacks, and melee obviously isn't.
Damage from an effect like Force Orb is not an Attack against you: It is a separate damaging effect. A Ranged Attack must include an attack and damage roll.

The New York University College of Nursing today announces the induction of faculty members, Wendy C. Bundin, PhD, RN-BC, Eloise Balasco Cathcart, MSN, RN and Ann E. Kurth, PhD, CNM, RN as US Fellows into the American Academy of Nursing (AAN). The US Fellows were formally inducted on November 13, 2010 at the Induction Ceremony in Washington, DC. Out of the 108 newly inducted US Fellows, six (6) received their degrees from NYU.

I've been playing a bit of Atom Zombie Smasher lately. I'm pretty sure that I'm losing, as the zeds have amassed enough points for mega zeds to start appearing (and I'm not exactly keeping up).
That aside, I was wondering how many kills are registered for a unit when it kills a mega zed, as I am pondering ways to get the "Destroy 50 Zed in one XXX explosion", where XXX is one of the available types of explosives.
If mega zeds register as several kills, they would provide a lucrative venue to getting said achievements.

I have a friend who tries to upload a company logo as banner on a Facebook group, but it seems like Facebook compress or change the image in some way after upload, so the resolution gets scrambled. Does anyone know what it does, and what format/size gives the best result?
migrated from superuser.com May 13 '11 at 9:27
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Most probably they compress it to a degree; otherwise they would have too much of a bandwidth/space problem; this is pretty normal among a lot of social networking sites.
I doubt anyone would know the specifics of how Facebook does it.

Using sunscreen is important for protecting your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. But for best results, make sure your sunscreen has not expired.
Your sunscreen has an expiration date—have you checked it lately? It's meant to last up to about three years; after that, the active ingredients start to deteriorate, making it less effective and leaving you vulnerable to sunburn and sun damage. Ideally, you should be using your sunscreen often enough that a bottle doesn't last through the summer. If that's not the case, check the bottle you're currently using—if it's old, throw it out. If you buy sunscreen that has the expiration printed only on the box or wrapper, write the date somewhere on the bottle itself with a permanent marker. Practice safe sun this summer to keep you and your family healthy and happy!

6 Insane Disney Comics You Won't Believe Are Real
Is it unfair to judge old cartoons by the standards of the 21st century? Probably. Is it still amazing to see that there was a time when Disney had no problem depicting Mickey Mouse getting venereal diseases and attempting shotgun suicide? You bet!
All of the below comics are real and unaltered.
#6. Mickey Mouse Versus Gonorrhea
Comics can be a great educational tool, but we'd like to think there's a spectrum of possibilities that lie between "Let's make a public service announcement about disease" and "Let's give Mickey Mouse an STD." Yet, the April 4, 1944 issue of LOOK magazine contained an educational comic about the benefits of sulfa drugs, the first line of antibiotics ever used to treat bacteria -- and who better to explain to the population that gonorrhea is now easily curable than everyone's favorite cartoon mascot?
Via Cartoonbrew.com
"I can help you with the clap, Mickey, but I'm afraid the herpes is here to stay."
We get that they wanted to teach as many people as possible about the new drugs, but perhaps Popeye would have been a better fit for this sort of thing. In order to tell the story of the creation of sulfa drugs in a simple, friendly manner, the comic starts by showing Dr. Mickey Mouse testing the new compounds on mice. Wait, uh, what's Mickey's last name again?
Via Cartoonbrew.com
Is it Judas?
Yeah, this comic is packed with baffling decisions -- it also depicts the effects of a disease on the organism by showing a microscopic race war being raged inside your body, complete with gangs of bacteria stabbing red blood cells to death in a miniature re-enactment of West Side Story.
Via Cartoonbrew.com
Yes, "blitzkrieg" was absolutely the best word to use in this context and period in time.
Finally, Mickey illustrates the consequences of overindulgence by downing an entire bottle of sulfa drugs, after which he's shown either tripping balls or facing imminent death. Possibly both.
Via Cartoonbrew.com
"Oh God, mops! And they have arms and legs!"
So, why did Mickey need to take the gonorrhea drug, again? Has someone been spending time inside Clarabelle Cow's stable? Dammit, Mickey, stop being a douchebag and buy some fucking condoms. But hey, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. Clearly Disney relationships aren't as chaste as we might once have believed. For instance ...
#5. Uncle Scrooge, Sexual Powerhouse
Scrooge McDuck, despite being nothing but an older, greedier, meaner version of his nephew Donald, has been the subject of countless comics and animated adventures over the years. There's one story DuckTales didn't tell you, though: the one about the time when Scrooge spent an entire month doing it with his kidnapped sex slave.
Via "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
You may want to reread our article about duck penises to fully appreciate this story.
In a 1953 comic, Scrooge remembers the time when he traveled to the Yukon to search for gold and got scammed by a barmaid named Goldie. Scrooge then tracked down Goldie and forced her to work with him for a month to make up for the gold he lost.
Via Gomicbookresources.com
One guess as to what "supper" was.
But what exactly happened between Goldie and Scrooge during that solitary month in the middle of nowhere? Apparently fans demanded to know all the nasty details, so a later story went back and showed three lawmen coming to rescue Goldie, only to come across this haunting scene:
Via "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
"Is that ... a Barry White album playing?"
Yeah, there's clearly duck sex going on in there. The younger lawmen still think Goldie might be in trouble, but the older one, being more experienced in the ways of the world, instantly understands what's happening and explains that there's nothing illegal in two consenting ducks vigorously ducking the shit out of each other.
Via "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
Ah, so pants do exist in this universe. Donald and family are just pervs.
The next morning, Scrooge sends Goldie on her way and tries to pay her for her "services," which goes over about as well as you'd expect:
Via "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
Yeah, we bet you did.
Not definitive enough for you? Well, we've told you about the Donald Duck story that inspired Inception, in which the Beagle Boys enter Scrooge's dreams and Donald follows them. Guess who they find inside Scrooge's mind, exuding the universal body language for "remembering a great corkscrewin'"?
Via "The Dream of a Lifetime"
"Wait, why's Daisy here, too? And is that Launchpad McQuack?"
#4. Mickey Mouse Tries to Commit Suicide (Repeatedly)
Picture this: It's October 1930, the Great Depression is in full swing, and you desperately need something to take your mind off the fact that the world is objectively getting shittier all around you. You can't afford to go to the movies, obviously, so you deprive yourself of your next five meals by spending 25 cents on a newspaper just so you can cheer yourself up by reading the latest Mickey Mouse comic strip. And then, in the last few panels of what otherwise seemed like a normal joke, you see this:
Via io9.com
"Life is a prison cell and death is the key, children! Haw-haw!"
That's it. That's the punchline of the comic. Mickey reaching for a shotgun to end it all.
Yes, this strip is real, and no, this wasn't an example of a cheeky Disney employee managing to slip one by the boss -- this story was suggested by Walt Disney himself, who had seen a similar gag in a 1920 silent film and was known for never letting a joke go to waste. Since the comic strip was already doing a storyline where a con man steals Minnie's affections, Disney's idea was that Mickey becomes so dejected over the breakup that he spends the next week trying and failing to kill himself. So, over the next few days, Mickey tries every suicide method he can think of, from jumping off a bridge ...
Via Comicbookresources.com
He suffered a serious head injury, and every cartoon since has been the fevered hallucination of a dying mind.
To opening the gas and lying down on his bed, waiting for death's sweet release.
Via Comicbookresources.com
Hey, didn't they reuse this gag in the latest season of Mad Men?
Of course, all these strips end with Mickey's suicidal efforts being foiled by something or him getting cold feet and putting it off for another day. Eventually he comes to his senses when he's preparing to hang himself on a tree and realizes he's surrounded by adorable forest critters.
Via Comicbookresources.com
"Who needs Minnie when I've just discovered auto-erotic asphyxiation?"
Apparently no one was worried about kids trying to follow the Mouse into the abyss, since editors and the newspaper syndicate raised nary an objection. We don't know what happened in the storyline next, but we're assuming that Mickey took that shotgun to the fucker who stole Minnie and shoved it up his ass.

How to save data.store to mysql using php
I have data view and a grid . I use Drag and drop from DataView to Grid. I want to save all Grid's rows at once with php scripts, but i don't know how to send grids.store to PHP and how to iterate it to insert row by row to mysql. Please HELP .
20 Feb 2011 6:55 AM #2
If your store's proxy has a properly configured writer you can do a store.sync() to send data to the server.
About the PHP part, it depends on many things like your level of experience with it (you might want to begin here), are you using a server-side application framework (like Kohana or CodeIgniter), etc...
Simplest theoretical build-from-scratch approach would be to define an ajax proxy for your store, call store.sync() when you want to upload your records, and then on the server-side decode your $_POST variable and decide what to do with its content.
20 Feb 2011 7:24 AM #3
I have Json.store to load data for DataView store. Then i create empty data store for the grid.
With Drag And Drop from DataView I add rows to Grid . Then i want to save all records from Grid to mysql table. I just want to know how to send params Grid.Store to php script and how _POST['store'] to be parsed in PHP ?
20 Feb 2011 7:28 AM #4
This way work. But i think that this is very bad programing practice .
Please show the smart way.
function SaveOrder(){
firstGridStore.update ;
var grid_rows =firstGridStore.getCount() ;
if(grid_rows > 0) {
// make all id from data selected become 1,2,3,4,5,.....
var id = '';
var br = '';
var price = '' ;
var i = 0;
for(i=0; i<grid_rows ; i++) {
id += firstGridStore.getAt(i).data.id;
br += firstGridStore.getAt(i).data.color;
price += firstGridStore.getAt(i).data.price;
if(i < (grid_rows - 1)) {
id += ','; br +=',' ; price +=',' ;

I've been really looking forward to this game and am pretty much going to import the Japanese version no matter what. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of fan made subtitles for the game. I've heard of this happening with other titles before and wondered if this would be the case here, especially as so many like me were looking forward to this title.
If there are fan subtitles in the works I'd imagine they would be quite small and hard to find, atleast at first.
If anyone knows of fan subtitles, even if they are still work in progress, I'd appreciate it.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

text: Dan Flavin was born in 1933 in New York City. In the mid-1950s, he served in the US Air Force, after which he returned to New York, where he studied art history at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University. In 1961, he had his first solo exhibition at the Judson Gallery, New York. Later that year he began experimenting with electric light in a series of works called "icons," which led him to his first work made solely of fluorescent light, the diagonal of May 25, 1963 (to Constantin Brancusi) (1963). Major exhibitions of Flavin's work include those at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1967); the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (1969); and the Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden (1989). In 2004, Dia organized a traveling retrospective in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. In 1983, Dia opened the Dan Flavin Art Institute, a permanent exhibition designed by the artist in a former firehouse and Baptist church in Bridgehampton, New York. Flavin's last completed work, untitled (1996), occupies the stairwell at 548 West 22nd Street in New York City in a building formerly used by Dia as an exhibition space. In 2014, the installation of untitled (to you, Heiner, with admiration and affection) (1973) was designated as an official Dia site and reinstalled on the premises of the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. Flavin died in November 1996 in Long Island, New York.
