4 NFL Rule Changes for 2013
The tuck rule is history.
Basically, if a quarterback starts to bring the football back toward his body while trying to throw, it will be ruled a fumble instead of an incomplete pass.
Why is this significant? Well, in a 2001 playoff game, Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots, benefitted from the tuck rule when a ball that most of the viewing fans assumed to be a fumble was ruled an incomplete pass. The Patriots won the game.
Many fans thought the Oakland Raiders, the Patriots' opponent, were robbed of a chance to go to the Super Bowl, entirely thanks to the tuck rule.

|Head Coach
|Youngstown, Ohio
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
|17 Years
The winningest coach in Oklahoma history, Bob Stoops and the Sooners have become synonymous with success as he has firmly etched his indelible stamp upon college football.
Quantifying the lasting impact that Stoops has made on Oklahoma is the easy part. No head coach in the Sooners' illustrious history has produced more victories than Stoops (168), who surpassed Barry Switzer in 2013. That OU coaching lineage of 100-game winners also includes the iconic Bud Wilkinson and Bennie Owen.
Stoops has led the Sooners to a school-record 16 consecutive bowl berths and eight Big 12 titles. He has guided the program to eight or more victories each of the past 15 seasons, the longest active streak of any FBS head coach. Even though he didn't arrive in Norman until the Big 12 was three years old, the Youngstown, Ohio, native has already coached the program to more than twice as many championships (eight) as any other school in the league.
Putting Stoops' accomplishments and remarkable consistency in the proper national perspective isn't difficult. No team from a Power Five conference owns more victories than Oklahoma (168) since Stoops took over the Sooners' fortunes, while only Ohio State can boast a better winning percentange since 1999. Under the direction of this 31-year coaching veteran, only three schools can boast longer active streaks of consecutive bowl berths. And no coach in the game's history has accumulated more victories over his first 16 seasons than Stoops.
During the BCS era, Stoops was the only coach to win a national championship and every BCS bowl game. He completed that winning cycle as Oklahoma registered a 45-31 victory over No. 3 Alabama in the 80th Allstate Sugar Bowl. That victory vaulted the Sooners to the No. 6 spot in the final AP Poll to give the Sooners their ninth AP top-10 finish under their current head coach.
Among programs from Power Five conferences, Oklahoma is one of only nine that has averaged 10 or more victories over that past five seasons, a remarkable feat in today's college football landscape.
Conference supremacy has also been a trademark of Stoops' tenure in Norman. Over the past five seasons the Sooners own a 51-15 (.773) overall mark, as well as a 32-12 (.727) regular season conference record, both of which are the best of any Big 12 team from 2010-14. Not only does Oklahoma own the most victories against AP Top 25 foes over the past five years, the Sooners are the only Big 12 squad to post a winning record in such games, going 14-11.
Only Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer (1987) has been at his post longer than Stoops. Add it all up, and it's easy to see why ESPN the Magazine named Oklahoma the top college football program of the BCS era in 2012. Among active FBS coaches, only Urban Meyer owns a better winning percentage at .844 (141-26).
During his remarkable run, Stoops has picked up 17 coach-of-the-year citations, including eight on the national level (only five coaches nationally have won more conference coach-of-the-year awards). Under Stoops' direction, the Sooners have posted 12 seasons with 10 or more wins over the past 15 seasons, a total that no FBS program can top dating back to 2000.
Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record and hadn't produced double-digit victories since 1987. OU has also registered nine seasons with 11 or more wins since the start of the 2000 campaign, tying Ohio State for the top total by a Power Five school.
Stoops reached 100 victories faster than any coach in college football history. In fact, only five coaches needed fewer games to reach the 150-win plateau than Stoops (187 games). That list reads like a who's who of the game's coaching elite: Switzer (180 games), Fielding Yost (180), Gil Doobie (180), Joe Paterno (184) and Tom Osborne (186).
Stoops' OU squads have frequently risen to the occasion against the nation's toughest teams. The Sooners are 50-27 (.685) against AP Top 25 foes during his tenure with 18 wins against AP top-10 squads and 10 victories against top-five teams.
Since the start of the 21st century, Oklahoma has been the standbearer of success among Power Five schools in a number of major categories. Over the past 15 seasons, OU leads all those schools in victories (159), home winning percentage (.914) and third-down conversions (1,302). Over that same span, the Sooners rank second in the nation in overall winning percentage (.803), conference winning percentage (.798), total touchdowns (941) and takeaways (429).
While 16 seasons have passed, Stoops' no-nonsense approach to the game hasn't changed. He has long insisted that players win games, not coaches. However, it's hard to argue with the consistent level of top-flight talent Stoops and his staff have attracted to Oklahoma. Two Heisman winners and five Heisman finalists have been characteristic of the offensive playmakers who have signed with the Sooners. If you want opulent offense, look no further than Owen Field. Stoops' 2008 team was the first to score 60 or more points in five straight games en route to scoring an NCAA single-season record 716 points.
There has been no lack of game-changing defensive performers on the roster, either. Oklahoma is the only program to produce two players who won the Thorpe and Nagurski Awards in the same season. Sizzling special teams performers have been part of the equation, as well. Over the past three seasons alone the Sooners have registered eight touchdowns and three safeties in the kicking game.
Stoops is respected as a grounded family man, big-game coach, relentless recruiter, strong leader and a person with uncommon perspective. His success emanates from a disciplined style true to his roots in the Steel Valley of Ohio, but he is far from inflexible. The principles to which he holds are the tried and true axioms of the sport mixed with cutting-edge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk.
The son of a longtime high school coach, Stoops was a four-year starter at Iowa under Hayden Fry, who gave him his coaching start in 1983. He would later play a key role in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history on Bill Snyder's staff at Kansas State from 1989-95. Eventually, he left for Florida and a three-year stint as Steve Spurrier's defensive coordinator. It was with the Gators, and a national championship team in 1996, that the spotlight found Stoops and made him one of the hottest names in the profession. His hiring at Oklahoma was one for the ages.
Oklahoma has set five NCAA records and set or tied 113 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position. Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams combined to win 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams combined to reel off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against FBS opponents.
Stoops' squads have put together the school's longest home field winning streak at 39. That's also the ninth-longest in the history of college football. Stoops also has fashioned two other streaks of 19 straight.
Oklahoma won the 2000 national championship and played for three more. The Sooners have spent 30 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll and boasted a national-leading 20 weeks atop the BCS standings during its existence.
OU has registered double-digit victories in 135 of Stoops' 212 games. The Sooners boast an 87-1 mark under Stoops when scoring 40 points or more.
Oklahoma has played in 16 straight bowl games under Stoops. Never had an OU coach taken even his first three teams to bowls.
The Sooners have not lost back-to-back regular season games under Stoops since October 1999, his inaugural OU year. Oklahoma is 34-0 in regular season games immediately following a loss since that time.
An Oklahoma player finished among the top seven in the Heisman voting six times on Stoops' watch: Sam Bradford (No. 1 in 2008), Adrian Peterson (No. 2 in 2004), Jason White (No. 3 in 2004), Jason White (No. 1 in 2003), Roy Williams (No. 7 in 2001) and Josh Heupel (No. 2 in 2000).
Under Stoops, OU has produced 34 All-Americans and two AP Players of the Year. Two players have earned the Davey O'Brien Award a combined three times. Two different Sooners have claimed the following honors: Nagurski Award, Thorpe Award, Butkus Award. At least one of his OU student-athletes has earned one of these accolades: Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Unitas Award, Outland Trophy, Wuerffel Trophy and the Mosi Tatupu Award.
All 98 home games of Stoops' tenure have been sold out and the stadium capacity has been increased by some 9,000 seats since his arrival. In a state of 3.5 million people and two other FBS programs, attendance in Norman routinely exceeds 85,000, including a school-record 86,031 vs. Notre Dame (10/27/12).
Under Stoops, the Sooners are a combined 22-10 (.688) against their two biggest rivals, owning a 10-6 mark in the AT&T Red River Showdown against Texas and a 12-4 record in Bedlam contests vs. Oklahoma State.

OMG! What if peace broke out?
Peace in the ME is not very likely, certainly not soon. Here are some articles on the varying degrees of difficulty faced by both the U.S. and Iran if serious negotiations go ahead.
"While the congressional playing field is not entirely clear yet, one thing is obvious. Obama is going to need support in his peacemaking efforts. That support will need to come from the U.S. public and he will need to know that he has it in order to counter what is sure to be a furious onslaught from the most powerful forces that oppose any normalization with the Islamic Republic. That onslaught is coming and it is going to be furious. Obama will also need support from Iran, of all places. Rouhani will need to maintain the positive face he is portraying. And Rouhani should not be alone in this endeavour. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, apparently recognizing that Rouhani had not gone far enough in distancing himself from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial, has made sure to unequivocally acknowledge the Holocaust and its horrors. However prominent one thinks that issue should be, the clear statements were obviously intended to forestall the use of that issue against progress in upcoming nuclear talks." Mitchell Plitnik at Lob Log
And this from Tehran: "Yes, a shoe was thrown at Rouhani upon his return from New York City from a group of about 50 or so male demonstrators. But there were more supporters than detractors. It is also true that the intractable Hossein Shariatmadari of Kayhan has found 5 "lamentable" aspects of Rouhani's trip and performance (including the way the President answered the Holocaust question, his reference to Israel instead of the Zionist regime, and of course, the phone call). But he has also had to defend himself against the charge of sounding more like Bibi Netanyahu than the Leader's representative to the state-run newspaper." Fahrideh Farhi also at Lobe Log

OMG! Is this all happening on our Kenyan socialist president's watch?!? Could that Swift-boated John Kerry really know what he is doing in diplomacy?!? Is that why Hilary was making all those trips to the Middle East?!?
What will all the apocalyptic end-timers out there do if peace breaks out?!? No Armaggedon?!?
OMG, indeed!
Not-completely-off-the-subject: check out Bill Mahr's rant on the Californication of the country from last Friday's Real Time.
By all means we should take Iran up on its initiative and see whether it will match deeds with words. Perhaps it will, and we will all be better off for it.
But contrary to the opinion in the links above, and separate and apart from Iran standing down its nuclear weapons program, there is nothing wrong or suspect in continuing to pursue a policy of isolating Iran unless it also mends its ways in other respects. Before we get carried away with gratitude toward Iran for a possible peace initiative, we should recall that Iran, more than any other nation, is responsible for the carnage going on in the Middle East and is a force for evil there. A new article in The New Yorker by Dexter Filkins points out that Iran is not only assisting Bashar Assad in his war on his own people, a war that has thus far killed 100,000 Syrians, and is not only supplying Assad with weapons and soldiers drawn from Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Iran is actually directing Assad's dirty war through the Quds force, the elite unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Iran is in charge of Assad's brutal war. You can find Filkins' New Yorker article here http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/09/30/130930fa_fact_filkins
In addition, through Shiite Hezbollah, which Shiite Iran funds and which takes orders from Iran, which is in fact Iran's cat's paw in Lebanon, Iran has destabilized Lebanon. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon – established by the U.N. – in The Hague has indicted Hezbollah members for the brutal assassination in 2005 of Rafic Hariri, the Sunni President of Lebanon. And Hezbollah's army, which was built with Iranian funding and training, is more powerful than the Lebanese Army, making Hezbollah the de facto governing force in southern Lebanon.
And it is because Hezbollah, instructed by Iran, has sent troops into Syria to aid Assad that the war has now spilled over into Lebanon, where Sunni and Shiite Lebanese are bombing each others neighborhoods.
Don't forget that Hezbollah was responsible for the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 250 American marines in 1983.
And according to special prosecutors in Argentina, Hezbollah and Iran were responsible for the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires that killed 84 and wounded hundreds. And according to this June 19 article, the special prosecutor also found that Hassan Rouhani, now President of Iran and in charge of Iran's current charm offensive, was a member of the committee that planned the bombing. http://freebeacon.com/rowhani-may-have-helped-plan-1994-bombing/.
And Bulgaria has said that the evidence points to Hezbollah as the culprit behind the 2012 bombing of a tourist bus carrying Israelis that killed 5 Israelis and the Bulgarian bus driver and injured 32 other Israelis.
The Filkins article is especially good at explaining the mayhem that Iran wrought in Iraq, where the killing continues unabated.
Last, lets recognize that it is the sanctions-backed-by-the-credible-threat-of-force regime that has caused the Iranian initiative, not the innate goodness or peacefulness of Iran. See yesterday's NYT's story on what dire straits Iran is in.
Of course, why not remember all of that. Along with other things to remember about the ME. England, France, and the Sykes Picot Agreement (1916), England and the Balfour Declaration (1917), the British withdrawal from Palestine (1948), the 1948 war, the 1967 war and the Occupation, the Oslo Accords, the Intifadas, the attacks from Gaza and on Gaza, etc., etc. Lots of stuff to remember.
Tell me Jeff, do you get paid by the word or by the incident?
Oooops! Forgot this: Iran Staggers as Sanctions Hit Economy.
Soon Thomas Erdbrink of the NYTimes (who is doing a good job) can write about the starving children, people dying of ordinary infections, and all that other great stuff that sanctions bring to a country.
Margaret asks me "Tell me Jeff, do you get paid by the word or by the incident?"
I don't get paid at all, Margaret. Do Mr. Plitnik or Mr. Fahri, whom you quote at length above?
I regret that you respond with snideness to a substantive comment that is at odds with your point of view.
If you're so right and I'm so wrong about things, you should be able to demonstrate it with the only responsible and respectable rhetorical weapons that matter and count -- the adducing of facts in support of reasoned argument.
Repetitive comments are not necessarily substantive. Intimations by you and your beadel Gerelyn that views I cite or that my own views are anti-Semitic are offensive. I have no obligation to answer your every and too-long comments. As far as I can tell we do not disagree about the flourishing of Israel. Your need to respond to every story, opinion or comment that raises doubts about your own views is obsessive and unwelcome. I'm sorry to hear you don't get paid for these, at least that would offer a feeble justification.
(Why mention my name in a thread I have not commented on?)
(I'm not qualified to be Jeff's beadel. I wish I knew one one-hundredth of what he knows.)
(I wish you did, too.)
(Where is the list of contributors?)
Margaret: I didn't say you had to respond to me. But if you do respond to my substantive comments, it should be with substance, in turn, and not with invective.
The invective continues and increases in your last comment. Gerelyn isn't my "beadle," or "my" anything, or in any manner my subordinate or inferior, and she doesn't act at my direction. What a thing to say! We both seem to be pro-Israel, and I appreciate and admire her support of Israel, but so what? She and I have never communicated with each other in our lives except in a few cross comments – probably not more than a half dozen – on your blog over the period of about a year. I'm not responsible for what she says and she's not responsible for what I say. If you have a problem with anything she's said, you should take it up with her. It seems to me that she's quite capable of defending herself, as I now see she has in a comment of her own.
My comments are pro-Israel, all right, but if that makes them "obsessive," what would you call your never-ending stream of anti-Israel posts?
It is true, however, that I'm the skunk at your anti-Israel party, and that's what you truly resent. I'm spoiling the party and I'm proud to do so.
I'll address your remarks about anti-Semitism a little later.
Margaret says: "Intimations by you and your beadel Gerelyn that views I cite or that my own views are anti-Semitic are offensive."
I've already addressed your offensive reference to Gerelyn, so now I'll just talk about the issue of anti-Semitism.
I've never called any of your remarks anti-Semitic, but to be honest about it, I haven't done so because you threatened to kick anybody off your blog who dared to. But now that you've raised the issue, I'll unburden myself.
When Congress was considering a pro-Israel measure, you filed a post on April 17, 2013, entitled "Knesset on the Potomac." I didn't say anything about it, though perhaps I should have, but if I had, I would have pointed out that the title of your post was extremely offensive in that it insinuated that the Congress was no longer the legislature of the American people, but of Israel and Israel's American agents, who control it and pull its strings. I would have stated that this was not only a falsehood, but that it invoked stereotypical anti-Semitic images of Jewish control and I would have noted the resemblance to what out-and-out anti-Semites call Zionist Occupied Governments (or "ZOG," in their parlance), of which they claim the U.S. is one.
I also didn't say anything, though perhaps I should have, when in your December 26, 2012 post, entitled "Even Tom Friedman Gets It Right," you linked (the link with your glib and gleeful aside, "Not for the faint of heart!") to an M J. Rosenberg piece that claimed that the American agents who were subverting our government were not your run-of-the-mill Jews, but the rich Jews among us. I would have pointed out that just as we Jews were not germs in the body politic of Germany, Jews (rich or otherwise) are not a Fifth Column in the United States, the subverters on behalf of Israel of our democratic institutions.
And then there was your post of December 14, 2012, entitled "A Secretary of Defense ... UPDATE," in which you insinuated that there was a "nefarious Jewish lobby that secretly controls U.S. foreign policy." I didn't call that anti-Semitic, either, but I did call it despicable. That's when you asked me to stop posting on your blog (a dis-invitation I declined to accept) and falsely accused me of "willful misrepresentations of others' comments." I see that your original post has now been mushed together, making it difficult to read, and the comments – including those on this subject between Carolyn Disco and me, on the one hand, and you on the other – have disappeared altogether, but I'm confident of my accuracy.
Notice that almost all of these remarks of yours to which I take exception don't even have to do with Israel, but with your fellow Jewish citizens.
I don't ever lightly raise the issue of anti-Semitism and I don't call people anti-Semitic just because they oppose Israel. In fact, I have been known to attack people who do. When the editorial staff of the New York Sun accused Nicholas Kristof of the NYT of the blood libel, I took a stick to those fellows. Read the editorial and then scroll down to the comments. I am "Jeff" there, as I am here. You can find it here http://www.nysun.com/editorials/new-blood-libel/50736/
But when remarks cross the line, I would like to think that I have the moxie to say so.
I see that my link in the above comment of mine isn't working. I don't know why. It works for me off site.
If it doesn't work for you, and you are interested in it, then google "The New York Sun" and "The New Blood Libel"
That works, too.

Christian Bale Passes On Noah
Next target? Michael Fassbender
After a long time spent courting their number one choice, sending flowers and special boat-themed presents to Christian Bale, Darren Aronofsky and studio backers Paramount are heartbroken as he's decided to pass on the lead in Biblical epic Noah. But never fear! For there is a new possibility in the frame! Give us an "F"! Give us an "A"! Give us an "S"… Look, it'll take far too long to spell his name out that way: it's Michael Fassbender.
Bale has apparently had to give up the chance to play the boat-building bloke because of his busy schedule, largely dominated by two new Terrence Malick films, Lawless and Knight Of Cups, plus any press he'll need to do for The Dark Knight Rises.
And while you might think Fassbender would be even more in demand than Sir Good For You, he's actually only got one active project on his radar right now – another playdate with best pal Steve McQueen for 12 Years A Slave. He had been looking at real-life spy drama Londongrad, but that has come to a grinding halt now Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes director Rupert Wyatt has dropped the project.
So while there's not even a formal offer in place for Fassbender, he has apparently chatted to Aronofsky about taking on the film, which the director originally co-wrote with Ari Handel. With a freshly polished script in hand courtesy of Hugo's John Logan, Aronofsky hopes to sail the production seas this coming spring.

FEDERAL, state and local agencies executed search warrants Wednesday on three Belmont County businesses suspected of selling synthetic marijuana.
Agents searched the Shadyside Party Center on Central Avenue in Shadyside, The Trading Post on Main Street in Bridgeport, and Bob's Cheap Smokes on National Road in St. Clairsville.
According to a press release from Belmont County Sheriff David Lucas, a search warrant was also served at the home of the owner of the Bridgeport Trading Post. Lucas said the search warrants were served in relation to the sale of synthetic cannabinoids which are also known as synthetic marijuana or herbal incense.
As of 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, agents were at all three businesses and the locations were secure. Sheriff Lucas said one person was taken into custody and the investigation is ongoing.
After the raids, a spokesperson with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's office said the three Belmont County businesses were selling synthetic marijuana under various names.
In a statement, DeWine said, "This is not the first time we have warned business owners to stop selling synthetic drugs or face the consequences, yet some store owners continue to knowingly profit off the addictive nature of these substances. Today's raids just go to show that if you are selling these drugs, law enforcement will find out."
Officials with the Belmont County Drug Task Force, the Belmont County Sheriff's Office, Belmont County Prosecutor's Office, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration are working together on the cases.
DeWine's office also said, "The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Section filed civil lawsuits against those with ties to the businesses, alleging that they engaged in unfair, deceptive and unconscionable acts by selling the illegal drugs as legal products. Nuisance abatements were filed in an effort to close the businesses for one year. Today's warrants were served as part of an intensified effort by local and stated law enforcement agencies to fight the sale of synthetic drugs."
Sheriff Lucas said he plans to hold a press conference today to release more information about the raids.

Messing around with UIMenuController.
Tapping on "Style…" would bring up several styling options for the selected text. Either plain RTF styles, such as "bold/italic/underline", or semantic styles such as "emphasize". It could also host text insertions; think of tags, which would be inserted before/after the selection.
These options could either be shown in the current menu (replacing cut/copy/paste/etc.) or in a larger popover which still points to the selection. The first option being much more direct, if pretty limited. The second option could hold more options and could go WYSIWYG on the selection. It could even hold the basic format palette of B/U/I, text alignment, lists/intendation. It might break in landscape, though, and the initial menu might get awfully long in certain languages.
Other caveats/questions: Would it act as a switch (undo "bold" when already bold), would it be fixed styles (or would the user need to customize the available options), would it work on a selection of zero (just the insertion point), would it allow paragraph-based styling (headline) and so on.
But I like the idea, as it would allow text manipulation without having a button bar visible. It would also be much more direct: manipulations would happen in visible context and would thus be seperate from nav-bar buttons (which might then only manipulate global options such as view, spell-check on/off etc.). Dunno, but it could well hold a basic set of markdown tags… hm.
Please note that this is filed under Research & Development, so don't expect to find it in any shipping product. :)

I see some chicken places advertising that their chicken has never been frozen. The suggestion, I suppose, is that never-been-frozen chicken is better. Is there any truth to this? References please.
Yes, there is a clear difference in never-frozen vs. defrosted meat.
The cell plasma in your chicken freezes in the freezer, turning into ice crystals. Since cell plasma is over 90% water, it expands instead of shrinking in the 0 to -4°C range. The crystals cut the cell walls. When you defrost the meat and cook it, the cell plasma flows out into the pan, leaving you with dried out meat. This is the first, major problem with freezing, and occurs even when the meat is frozen for a very short time.
If you keep meat stored frozen for longer time, there are two other effects. The unavoidable one is rancidity. The cell plasma in frozen meat has a high mineral concentration, and given time, it will oxidize the fat in meat, changing its taste for the worse. The avoidable one is freezer burn - it occurs if the meat is not wrapped properly in the freezer. Freezer-burned meat is really unpleasant to eat, most people throw out affected parts.
Of course, this is not the only factor affecting meat quality. SAJ14SAJ's comment is true in the sense that bad meat (from mass-produced young animals grown in bad conditions) will not have much taste of its own, and even if you prevent it from drying out, it still won't be as nice as good meat. But what is more pertinent in this case is that the cooking process can more impact on drying out than a freezing-defrosting cycle. If you cook defrosted meat carefully, you will minimize the dryness effect. It won't be the perfect morsel, but it can still taste pretty well. On the other hand, if you have never-frozen meat and overcook it, it can get to shoe-leather consistency, so that you lose all advantages from non-freezing.
References: McGee on Food and Cooking, p.146 (reputable, dead-paper book) or http://www.wedlinydomowe.com/sausage-making/freezing-meat - (random Google hit, one click away).
Frozen chicken can often have a different texture to chicken that has never been frozen... Although I couldn't personally say I'd be able to tell the difference in a blind taste test, I find chicken that has been frozen tends to be a bit flakier... This may just be my experience from when I've bought frozen fish, but I find it breaks a bit more easily in a manner reminiscent of fish, although the texture is still primarily chickeny.

I began adding new users to my site tonight, all as authors. Is there a limitation to the number of users or how quickly they are added, after adding the 50th user there seems to be a minute or two delay before wordpress will allow me to add the next user.
Wordpress doesn't have any real limitation to that although your
You may also try disabling plugins one by one just in case there is a badly coded WP hook/action.
As a final solution, I would add a huge list of users directly through a SQL query, that way you can add thousands of them in less than a second.

I know the former is the generally accepted usage, as that's all I've ever seen over the years; meaning, by extension, "The Smiths ..live here" – presumably; whilst the second example implies, "The Smiths' Home", which seems to me an obviously superior proposition for a sign on a residence.
My bias makes me suspect the former is just a pragmatic simplification that has become standard practice (but then, so is the latter an incomplete shortcut.)
What might a pedantic English instructor think if driving by such a sign, The Smiths', and why?

For one of my configured email accounts in GMail I send mail using my university's SMTP sever. This works fine most of the time. When my university password expired GMail was no longer able to send mail via SMTP, but it provided no feedback indicating problems. I wrote and 'sent' messages for a week with GMail before noticing (due to lack of receipt) that they weren't actually going out. Is there any built-in error log or other mechanism in GMail that I can monitor to be alerted of sending errors or to help troubleshoot problems?
I think something is off with your university's mail system. I've tried sending mail using a custom From address and an incorrect password and it's been my experience that Google's mail system tells me that the remote server rejected my credentials via an error message delivered to my Gmail inbox. For example:
Two things to try out: 1) Run a quick test in Thunderbird Portable to see what sort of error message might come back from your school's server if you send it incorrect credentials. 2) Contact the IT department and ask them if you should be receiving errors from their system.
It's also possible that you have a filter that archives or deletes messages matching some criterion that Google's errors happen to share. Give your filters a once-over just in case.
The only answer people seem to be coming up with for this question is to enable the "Refresh POP accounts" GMail Labs feature and then manually refresh your POP connections. When they fail, you'll be notified with a little red error message at the top of your GMail window.

Stock warrants give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying common shares at a specific price and expiring on a specific date in the future. Since the 1920s, some of the biggest companies in the world have previously had stock warrants trading, such as AT&T, Ford Motor Company and Goldcorp. A few of the hundreds of current companies with stock warrants trading include, Bank of America, AIG, General Motors, New Gold, Sandstorm Gold and Coeur d'Alene Mines.
This is Dudley Pierce Baker and I welcome you to the exciting world of investment opportunities with warrants. Stock warrants have been an overlooked investment vehicle for decades perhaps for a lack of knowledge by both individual investors as well as professionals. Since 2005 we have been "the authority on warrants" and until May 2013 focused solely on warrants which were trading on the natural resource shares through our popular service, PreciousMetalsWarrants.com. Our expanded services now include warrants on all industries and sectors trading in the United States and Canada. Banking, Financial Services, Automotive, Gaming, Pipelines, Mining, etc.
For the first time ever, all listed warrants are now in one place, in one service, CommonStockWarrants.com.

Use Positive Reinforcement
In This Article:
The "Let's Get Positive" Exercise
If you're used to focusing on negative behavior, it can be hard to start using positive reinforcement techniques. Let's practice being positive. In order to give positive reinforcement, you need to recognize specifically what to reinforce. Once you recognize the positive behavior, you can use descriptive encouragement. Here's a quick exercise for you. Just for the next day or so:
- Make a list of things your child does right or well.
- Blow off the negative (let it go free!).
- Frame each positive thing in positive terminology ("He got dressed easily and got along with his sister at breakfast") instead of in the negative ("he didn't fight getting dressed, for once, and he didn't whack Nikki at breakfast").
- Notice how the behavior of even a "misbehaving" child is mostly positive.
Tales from the Parent Zone
Every morning, when I get into my car to drive my daughter to school, the most obnoxious beeping noise occurs until I buckle my seat belt. This is "negative reinforcement," and it can be an effective way of encouraging proper behavior. In order to get rid of that bleeping beep, I buckle up. A balance between negative and positive reinforcement is important for a child's development.
Prevent Problems with Descriptive Encouragement
If you tell a child he's a pathetic, sniveling worm, he'll either go to the garden and start eating dirt, or he'll rebel, move to the other coast, and never speak to you again (and good for him!). If, on the other hand, you support and encourage him, he'll do his best for you. When you're using encouragement:
- Keep it very specific. "I noticed you worked for an hour on your homework." "You certainly emptied the dishwasher fast and well!" The more specific you get, the more your child will learn to figure out for herself when she is doing a good job.
- Say it deliberately. Remind yourself to comment on positive behavior. It takes awhile to make this kind of commentary second nature, so it will have to be deliberate for a while. It may even feel forced. That's okay!
- Effort counts. You can give descriptive encouragement for effort even if the results don't turn out so well. "You worked very hard on your homework, Adam. I'm sure next time you will get the right answer."
- Focus on improvement. "Your arms have gotten much stronger from all the swimming practice you've been doing."
- Say it often.
It's Not Praise, and It's Not General
When you're using encouragement, steer away from the following pitfalls:
- General encouragement, "You're a great kid!" and "You're so smart!" is nice to hear, but it isn't very effective at promoting change. General encouragement too often shows that you aren't really paying enough attention to the child, or her process, to make thoughtful, helpful, respectful comments about her behavior. Some experts think too much praise or general encouragement can even be damaging, making a child dependent on others for positive feedback. In other words, "How am I doing, Mom," replaces, "Wow, I'm doing great" or, "I kinda flubbed that test, I'd better work harder."
- There's a school of parenting (I think it's affiliated with Wimpy University) that praises kids all the time. "Excellent job walking down the street, Emily." Too much of this constant, empty praise, and your child will stop trusting you, or even listening. "Great job!" becomes empty, unless you mean it.
- Never lie to your child about how he's doing. If you tell a kid what a scholar he is when he's earning the lowest grades in the school district, you're lying, and both of you will know it. Your child is not stupid. Encourage the positive ("You're working hard to do well next time," or "It took courage to risk and fail")—but don't lie.
- There's nothing wrong with hearing that you're a great kid (it promotes a general sense of being loved and approved of), but it works best when it's very specific. Telling a child, "Wow, you're so mature" puts a lot of stress on a child to be mature, to never be immature, and to never disappoint you. Children under this kind of stress tend to rebel, hard.

Eclipse (Hardcover)
Firestar's three grandchildren have learned of the powerful prophecy that foretells their destinies, and the responsibility of deciding the Clans' future weighs heavily on the three apprentices. But each secretly yearns for power: Lionpaw dreams of being undefeatable in battle, while Hollypaw longs to be a great leader and Jaypaw knows only he can see the true past and future for them all. Their strengths are tested when ThunderClan is suddenly attacked and all four Clans are thrown into a battle unlike any the cats have ever seen.
Then a dark shadow falls across the forest, and a mysterious stranger warns the Clans of more trouble to come. For the first time, it appears that StarClan does not hold the answers the cats need.
All of a sudden, the warrior code is being tested. A crisis of faith threatens to tear the four Clans apart and destroy what the cats have built their lives upon. . . .
About the Author
Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

After finally getting the Android Facebook SDK to properly import thanks to this, I found that eclipse does not recognize the override of onclick in FbDialog.java:
mCrossImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Nor does it recognize the overrides of onServiceConnected and onServiceDisconnected in the TokenRefreshServiceConnection implementation of ServiceConnection
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
messageSender = new Messenger(service);
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg) {
serviceListener.onError(new Error("Service disconnected"));
// We returned an error so there's no point in
// keeping the binding open.
All three methods say, in the warning, that the method must override a superclass method. I have not modified the code at all yet. I checked that Eclipse recognizes the types as the same ones in the respective superclasses, and I have tried pressing control-shift-o to organize the imports, which was a fix suggested in this answer for a similar problem.
These overrides are part of the SDK, not any separate project. I set up the project to use Android SDK 2.2 as was shown on Facebook's instructions, and 4.0.3, which should be, theoretically, compatible with all previous versions. I have yet to get Facebook's own code to work. As a side note, is there a jar I can use instead? It would make this much easier.

Connelly on Nostra Aetate
I'm not a neutral arbiter -- on the dust jacket of the book I call it one of the most important books ever written on modern Catholicism -- but it was good to see Peter Gordon's interesting review of John Connelly's
- From Enemy to Brother
(Harvard, 2012) in The New Republic. Connelly's achievements are many: reminding us of how near a thing Nostra Aetate actually was, and how deeply anti-Semitism shaped Catholic thought at all levels of the Church, especially in central Europe during mid-20th century; quietly reorienting the tedious debate about the virtues or lack thereof of Pope Pius XII during the Holocaust; gracefully dismantling any notion that "Jewish pressure" led to the document and offering a sobering portrait of how even major Catholic theologians (Hans Urs von Balthasar, Karl Adam) did not escape the racialist terminology sadly characteristic of that historical moment.But why, then, did Nostra Aetate occur? Connelly is succinct and compelling: Without converts the Catholic Church would not have found a new language to speak to the Jews after the Holocaust. That is, only converts from Judaism (and to a lesser extent Protestantism) allowed the Church to reach beyond its own tightly patrolled borders and walls.

Fascinating review of what sounds like a fascinating book. Two questions:a) if it's true that the Catholic Church needed converts to formulate the language needed to speak to Jews after the Holocaust, then is it also true (it seems to be implied) that without the Holocaust, there would have been none of the re-thinking that brought Nostra aetate into being? An appalling thought.b) (and here I ask out of deep ignorance) how and when did the Protestant approach to Judaism in Germany and elsewhere, change as a result of the war and the Holocaust? Many decades ago William Shirer's book on the Third Reich insisted on Martin Luther's anti-Jewish screeds as formative in German in German anti-Semitism. Was that a fair and accurate account of mainstream German Protestantism prior to the war?
"But why, then, did Nostra Aetate occur? Connelly is succinct and compelling: Without converts the Catholic Church would not have found a new language to speak to the Jews after the Holocaust. That is, only converts from Judaism (and to a lesser extent Protestantism) allowed the Church to reach beyond its own tightly patrolled borders and walls." The last two sentences here are not equivalent. The first is true, I think, although I find it odd to put the matter in terms simply of "a new language." The second statement I don't think is true: there were lots of other Catholics who for decades before Vatican II (and even before the Holocaust) were pressing "the Church to reach beyond its own tightly patrolled borders and walls." Or was the second statement meant only to apply to the Church's teaching and attitude toward Jews?
I bought the book immediately after reading the review a couple of days ago, and then was somewhat taken aback to read the following article, which is a topic of discussion over on First Things:
The Second Vatican Councils declarations on non-Christian religions and religious freedom do not contain binding doctrinal content, Cardinal Walter Brandmuller said at a press conference on May 21.The retired president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, along with Archbishop Agostino Marchetto and Father Nicola Bux, is the coauthor of a newly published book, Le Chiavi di Benedetto XVI per interpretare il Vaticano II [Benedict XVIs Keys for Interpreting Vatican II].Stating that the conciliar documents have differing degrees of authority, Cardinal Brandmuller said that there is a huge difference between a great constitution and simple declarations.Strangely enough, the two most controversial documents [on religious liberty and relations with non-Christian religions] do not have a binding doctrinal content, so one can dialogue about them," he continued. "So I don't understand why our friends in the Society of St. Pius X concentrate almost exclusively on these two texts. And I'm sorry that they do so, because these are the two that are most easy to accept if we consider their canonical nature. . . .
Cafeteria Catholicism in Rome? The Council either meant what it said, or it didn't. There is no level of "saidness" that can be turned into meaninglessness by retired cardinals. Shouldn't someone be caused to provide one of those Vatican "clarifications" that reverses without denying the original error? Otherwise, as one of the faithful, I will be "confused," and we don't want that to happen.
"Stating that the conciliar documents have differing degrees of authority, Cardinal Brandmuller said that there is a huge difference between a great constitution and simple declarations.I guess the Cardinal can say what he likes but he has no idea what is binding or non-binding. What most fail to understand is that the documents of Vatican II were mainly arrived at through compromise as each side pushed to insert its own point of view. Further, comments such as Brandmuller's are a Church of Dogma approach rather than the Church of the Beatitudes.
John,Thank you for posting Gordon's review. I found it not only "interesting," but intriguing. Two assertions seem to me to merit further reflection. Gordon writes:"As a historian, Connelly tries as much as he can to avoid making theological statements of his ownbut occasionally one catches sight of a different scholar, who seems drawn to Scripture as the moral standard by which the actions of the Church may be judged deficient. Connelly never openly acknowledges the use of this higher measure, as it would stand in conflict with the imperatives of modern historicism, for which there can be no transcendent norm. But history is only enriched when it opens itself to other modes of thought. This, too, is a kind of border-crossing, and its conflictual energies may help to explain the considerable drama of Connellys book."And he concludes:"Connelly has written an important book, an extraordinary work of history, although it is sobering to think that its argument may depend on an original sin in human psychology: that the imperative of empathy resists its universal application and collapses back upon itself, darkening its own promise like an imploding star."
Several years ago I was in a diocesan archive and came across a memo from a Jesuit working for the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, to an American bishop, in May 1965. It was marked "urgent and confidential," and I was fascinated: it detailed how the Secretariat of State had presented an anti-Semitic report to the pope, based on opposition from Arab governments and Catholic bishops in Arab countries, trying to scotch Nostra Aetate. At the time of the memo's writing, Cardinal Bea of the SPCU had presented a counter-report but he and the memo-writer were very worried and were trying to collect as much in-person support as possible. The bishop replied that he had hoped not to have to go to the next meeting of the SPCU but, circumstances being what they were, he would book a night flight to Rome and get there in time for the meeting, despite his busy schedule the day before.Reading this memo really brought home to me "how near a thing" Nostra Aetate was. I'm looking forward to reading this book, perhaps in combination with Susannah Heschel's The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany, which I've been meaning to get around to for some time now.
"Joseph Eberle, an important Catholic intellectual in the 1930s and the publisher of one of the most popular Germanlanguage Catholic journals of the day, declared without fear of self-contradiction that blood and race are not erased by baptism.Mind boggling that such a viewpoint could prevail in a church in which all the Apostles were Jews and the founder was a Jew. This new book is important in a world in which prejudice against Jews remains in many circles. In Westchester County New York a Wasp enclave town, Bronxville, used to exclude Jews. The Jews responded by encircling Bronxville with Scarsdale Village. While the exclusion no longer exists Scarsdale remains predominantly Jewish while Bronxville is still very much Wasp.
Incidentally,http://conciliaria.com/2012/05/on-improving-catholic-jewish-relations/This is a newish blog (I was just tipped off by Pray Tell) that is posting, day by day, events related to the Council fifty years ago, in the style of the New York Times blog that is currently 'following' the Civil War. And here is a memo from the great theologian Abraham Heschel to Cardinal Bea, dated May 22, 1962.
I hope I am not detracting from the original post, but on the one hand we have what seemed to me (and to John McGreevy and also the reviewer in TNR) a very important book about the development of doctrine in the Catholic Church, and then we have a Cardinal (though I suppose he shouldn't be considered a Vatican spokesperson) minimizing the importance of the documents Connelly writes about as important developments in the Church. The less authoritative those documents are, the less important the development Connelly writes about. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I did wonder about the timing of a Cardinal throwing Nostra Aetate and Dignitatus Humanae under the bus when the Vatican is trying to woo SSPX, with it's regrettable attitude toward Jews, back into the Church.
The reviewer misunderstands Nostra Aetate, which does not teach dual covenant thelogy:http://www.americamagazine.org/content/article.cfm?article_id=2550
John O'Malley's book, What Happened at Vatican II, had an interesting bit about how Nostra Aetate came to be. It was discouraging to read how the Council wasn't abel to put to reast the "deicide" claim. I have some excerpts from his book on Nostra Aetate here if anyone's interested .... http://povcrystal.blogspot.com/2010/10/mid-east-synod-maximos-iv-and-nos...
Here, as a counterweight to Cardinal Brandmuller, the important speech given by the (not retired) head of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch: http://www.zenit.org/article-34805?l=english The speech is a strong statement that the conciliar declaration represented a point from which the Church could never retreat. I would take Koch much more seriously than Brandmuller.Brandmuller for some time has been trying to downplay the importance of Vatican II. In an essay back in 2005 he compared it unfavorably to other Councils, such as Trent, and expressed his regret that Vatican II had not issued any condemnations, especially of Communism. That essay, which Sandro Magister wrongly thought would be an appropriate preface to Pope Benedict's views, can be found here: http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/43223?eng=y
"Shouldnt someone be caused to provide one of those Vatican clarifications that reverses without denying the original error?"These days the Vaticanes have bigger scandals to deal with, i.e., a possible "Vatileaker" in the person of the pope's butler, and the ongoing Vat Bank scandals that simply don't seem to end.One old retired cardinal looking for his 15 seconds in the court of the heretics is small peanuts."Sandro Magister wrongly thought ..." Nothing unusual there.
Catherine et al: Conciliaria is a project of, among others, Deacon Eric Stolz who used to post here regularly.
The truth shall make you free, but that doesn't mean that it will not be very, very painful.
Catherine O. --Thanks for the Conciliaria blog. What a great idea for teaching history!
The consistent doctrine and practice of hatred for the Jews by the magisterium demonstrates clearly that infallibility does not exist and that the magisterium needs to be challenged when it strays from the gospel. The history of the RCC persecution of the Jews is directly contradictory to the lesson of the Good Samaritan which teaches that the Jews have always been our neighbor.
John McGreevy: I am not likely to read John Connelly's book. I did read Peter Gordon's lengthy review of it in TNR. Thank you for calling his review to our attention.I was very fascinated by Connelly's description of certain persons as border crossers because of their own personal and family identity.
Jimmy Mac, by "original error", in Nostra Aetate, do you mean the fact that although it is true that there is only One True God, The Communion of Perfect Love that is The Blessed Trinity, Who Was In The Beginning, Is Now, and Forever Will Be, those who profess to be Jewish or Muslim, are not worshipping the same God because they do not worship The Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Or the fact that Nostra Aetate does not make it clear that Christ, through His Life, His Passion, and His Death on The Cross, revealed that the fullness of Love requires desiring Salvation for one's beloved? "I give you a new Commandment, Love one another as I have Loved you." - Christ"No one comes to the Father except through me." "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day...". - Christ
Or the fact that without a final authority, there can be no cohesiveness of belief, so for the sake of ecumenical dialogue, how does one determine which group within the group that professes to be, for example, Muslim or Jewish, accurately reflects the truths that are recognized by that particular Faith group?

Is it possible to spell check PDF files? In Preview.app the "Edit > Spelling & Grammar > Check Document Now (⌘;)" is disabled. I'm working on a LaTeX document in Emacs and would like to use the OS X spell checker. A solution for accessing the built in spellchecking dictionary from Emacs would also be acceptable.
I would install aspell with a package manager like brew and then run that on the .tex file. Unless I'm mistaken emacs has support for aspell built-in.
You can also turn on spell checking in your terminal (iterm2) or emacs GUI.

not sure if this is the right place, but hopefully someone might have thoughts on a solution/vendor.
Starting to spec out a project that will require multiple (50-100) developers to be able to manipulate source files/scripts for a large scale project. The idea is to be able to have each app go through a dev/review/test process, where the users can select (or be assigned) the role they're going to have for the given app.
I'm looking for web-based, version control, issue tracking, user roles/access, workflow functionality, etc...
Ideally, the process will also allow for the reviewed/valid app to then be exported to a separate system for testing on the test server/environment.
This can be hosted on our servers, or we can do the colo process.
I've checked out Alassian/Collabnet, but any thoughts you can provide would me appreciated as well.

The cruel fate of the Princes in the Tower is one of the most fascinating—and most troubling—of all England's historical murder mysteries. But what was the truth behind the deaths of the young Edward V and his brother, Dickon, taken from their mother, Elizabeth Woodville, King Edward IV's beautiful widow, and their guardian, Anthony Woodville? And what about the man who would become King Richard III?
In a brilliant feat of historical daring, the acclaimed author of The Mathematics of Love reimagines the tragedy of the youngest victims of the Wars of the Roses. Through the voices of Elizabeth, Anthony, and Una—a historian who herself knows grief, betrayal, and secret love—Emma Darwin re-creates the lethal power struggles into which the boys were born, their heart-wrenching imprisonment, and the ultimate betrayal of their innocence.
About the Author
Emma Darwin studied drama and theatre arts at Birmingham University and then worked in academic publishing before turning to photography and writing. A great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin and his wife, Emma Wedgwood, Emma now lives in London with her two children. The author of The Mathematics of Love, she is finishing a Ph.D. in creative writing at Goldsmiths College.
Praise For…
"Powerful and utterly convincing."
-Daily Mail (London) on A SECRET ALCHEMY
"There are many twists and turns in this tale, some of them real, some of them not; together they add up to a spellbinding whole."
-London Times on A SECRET ALCHEMY
"Emma Darwin follows up on the great success of her debut novel The Mathematics of Love with this engaging work of historical fiction…This is a work of great atmosphere and a story well told.
-The Sunday Mail (Australia) on A SECRET ALCHEMY

Rated 5 out of 5 by DetroitFan from Uniquely Light And Comfortable Shoe Needing a new pair of every day shoes and tired of black walkers I spied this Barefoot Boat Mudguard. As a long time Rockport customer I knew of their shoe's comfort and proper sizing for my feet. The barefoot water and microbe resistant features were fascinating, the style appealing. After using them a few times I see they are as comfortable and durable as advertised and quite stylish in a neutral, unobtrusive manner. They are so light to indeed feel like going barefoot! In 13 Wide they fit just fine. Have yet to attempt actual barefoot wearing and getting these shoes wet, but am looking forward to testing these features some time. The half price sale made these shoes too hard to resist.

These are very comfortable, light weight, feel better without socks than with. These are the first pair of Rockports that I have purchased that I must lace.

The good: CFOs think the economy is on an upswing. The bad: They also believe the Japan disaster will impact the US. The ugly: More of them than before plan to raise prices. The uglier: Even as CEO pay soars, most other employees can't expect the same for their compensation.
That's according to a biannual survey of CFOs conducted by Grant Thornton. It questioned 318 CFOs and senior comptrollers, 59 of whom were from the Northeast.

I see many instructional books where the title of the book includes cookbook! What is the meaning of cookbook in this situation? Example: Python Testing Cookbook.
I see many instructional books where the title of the book includes cookbook! What is the meaning of cookbook in this situation? Example: Python Testing Cookbook.
Well, what do cookbooks contain? Recipes!
What is a recipe?
As the blurb on the cover of this book says, it contains recipes "for taking control of automated testing using powerful Python testing tools."
One of my favorite programming cookbooks, the C++ Cookbook, contains recipes for creating solutions to common, but time-consuming, tasks in C++.
As Colin Fine notes in his comment, a programming cookbook differs from a reference or tutorial in that it only contains recipes. Although some food cookbooks may attempt to be reference or tutorial (or both, such as [former Microsoft CTO] Nathan Myhrvold's massive and ambitious Modernist Cuisine), most content themselves with presenting recipes in specific cuisines.
Programming cookbooks tend to be even more specific in their scope.
A cookbook contains recipes that teach you how to cook specific dishes. Here it is used metaphorically to refer to books which contain instructions that teach you how to do other things.
Cookbook is a pretty popular title word in programming language books. It is a collection of collection of details of how to do a variety of things in that language (or with that tool, etc).
It is not:
Cookbook is a short guide which could be used as a manual while doing the actual work.

I'm creating an iPhone App that uses facebook connect to enable the user to post messages to a specific fan page. I also want to allow my users to become a fan of the page through Facebook Connect but I can't find a way to do this.
So: is it possible to create a "become a fan"-button in an iPhone app using Facebook Connect? Which API call should I make?
If it's not possible in Facebook Connect directly, any suggestions for a workaround (for instance via some PHP code on my server)?
thanks, Thomas
