- Consider everyone who does not think like they do an enemy and legitimate target for conquest or elimination.
- Deform the faith they seek to defend because they are more concerned with process and ritual than with the true content of their faith.
- Take the spirit out of spirituality.
- Are happiest when everyone looks dresses and acts exactly like they do; like identical preprogrammed, unthinking automatons.
- Stifle creativity, ingenuity and critical thought.
- Foster intolerance and conflict.
- Will create an intolerably boring world, should they gain the upper hand
Several years ago I told a wise friend that I was considering sending my daughter to the local mosque for weekly religious lessons but was concerned that she will taught by and old shaikh with fossilized ideas. On the contrary, he said, the older shaikhs tend to be more moderate and reasonable, it is the young ones who think they have all the answers that I should be concerned about. And therein lies the problem; it is the large number of young people who seem to be going from green to fossilized that is a source of concern for the future.

I need to create a link in footer of my template (for example a TOS link). My footer has a position.
How can I create such a link in Joomla 1.7? Which module can do this?
I had a similar issue.
What I did was made the page an article (i.e. TOS > as an article). Then I made a hidden menu in the menu manager (called it HiddenMenu). I added the TOS page as an item in the menu. This then allows you to link via either a custom HTML module or entering directly into the
so your HTML will then be:
Go to Joomla Administrator (your-site/administrator) -> Extensions -> Module Manager.
Click "New", select "Custom HTML", then select "Next".
In the module details specify:

The experienced defender is eagerly anticipating Wednesday's international friendly as he prepares to take on his Bayern team-mateBayern Munich defender Philipp Lahm has insisted that he would rather have Franck Ribery in his team than Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The France international has been in sublime form for the Bavarians this season, netting four goals in 15 appearances, and the Germany skipper is delighted to be part of the same side as the tricky winger.
The Bayern and Germany will lock horns with Ribery in Wednesday's international friendly between his country and France, and the wing-back is looking forward to the encounter.
"I will try and push him to the limit," he continued.
"Although I realise that it will be difficult to completely eliminate him, especially when he approaches you at full speed."
Wednesday's match at the Stade de France is scheduled to kick off at 21:00CET.

Our Faculty, Students and Alumni
Alumni of the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute are located across the nation, including Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada. Our Alumni practice in law in large firms and small firms, as prosecutors, public defenders, in-house counsel, and even serve as public officials.
Alumni Testimonials
I just completed my first week at [my firm]. I realize now, more than ever, that the Trial Program were, by far, the best training I received during law school. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with me - I am extremely grateful.
After graduation I found employment in Wilmington, NC. I work for a boutique firm specializing in Criminal Law. The Institute and its curriculum prepared me for this job in ways I could not have foreseen. In the past year I submitted a brief to the North Carolina Supreme Court and helped prepare that case for oral argument. I have defended and won many criminal trials ranging from DWI to Assault. Recently, I successfully defended a workplace violence action brought by the North Carolina Attorney General's Office. Now I am preparing for an armed robbery trial. The year has been successful and I owe a large part of that success to the trial program. I just want to say thank you and give you an update on a former student.
I wanted to let you know that I received a job offer from the State Public Defender this weekend. I immediately accepted it.
I know that being in TPI has played a huge role in my success at Michigan State and now my job!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be in such a great program.
I noticed while I was interviewing that many attorneys are aware of the trial program and are very impressed by it. In the current job market, having completed the program set me apart from other candidates. My boss was very impressed with all work we did in the classes.
Thanks for helping!

MITCHELL — Dakota Wesleyan University recognized one of its professors with the Exemplary Teacher Award Sunday during its Honors Convocation.
Derek Driedger, associate professor of English and English department chair, was given the honor.
The Division of Higher Education, in partnership with United Methodist-related institutions, expresses support and appreciation for outstanding teaching. The recipient exemplifies excellence in teaching, civility and concern for students and colleagues. This person also maintains a commitment to value-centered education, and service to students, the institution and the community.
"This year's recipient stands out for the ability to balance academic rigor while also achieving exceptional student discourse," said Provost Amy Novak during the ceremony. "Students remark about this professor's ability to broaden their minds, stretch their thinking and confront, with innovation, their responsibility to serve their community. A hallmark of this individual's style is the ability to adapt and leverage the student contributions with technology, content from the textbook and community issues."
Driedger was described as an achiever, activator and strategic thinker with scholarly publications that place him among the leading scholars on Willa Cather and Great Plains literature.
"Dr. Derek Driedger's vision for the 21st century education champions the traditional values of deep liberal arts engagement of literature, writing, religion and sociology with digital technologies designed to foster interaction and leverage student life experiences to achieve learning outcomes," Novak said.

The archive stays open late tonight so it means I walk home from the train station in the dusky dark. The fireflies were out, which made me happy. Fireflies remind me of summers at my grandparents' place in Ohio (I guess it is too cold in Ontario for fireflies). An extra long day of research meant little was happening in the kitchen today. I did stop by the Sahara Grill today for a light lunch of pitas and hummus. It wasn't bad, but nothing special. As you can see, they pour oil over the top (not necessary) and it was more tangy than I like it. Oh well. I then went to Rittenhouse Square and relaxed in the shade before heading back to work.

I always love it when I get hummus at a restaurant and it has the oil on top. I can't bring myself to do that at home because it's just too much fat...but if someone else does, well, it's out of my control....guess I'll just have to eat it them...ha!

We get lightning bugs here in Indiana. It's a good thing too, since we moved here from Ohio and our kids would miss them terribly if not present. How neat that your grandparents lived in OH too. I lived west of Cleveland my whole life (but for a few years in San Francisco and Pittsburgh). My dh's job moved us away 2½ years ago. Now I miss my family AND catching lightning bugs there. I'm off to grab a Kleenex now. ;)

It's traditional to pour olive oil on the top of hummus. I love it!

I agree about the olive oil on the hummus - I know it's tradition, but I think it's simply unnecessary! I have a friend who's from the Middle East and she refused to pour on olive oil as well... (I do like to add a spritz of lemon juice)
Nice blog, by the way. I really need to get my hands on some seitan, I've never tried it and you've made me very curious!

Is there a computer program that simulates biology on a molecular level? Software that has rules that simulates the rules of molecular-biology?
There is a recent paper that introduced the first molecular-level whole-cell simulation.
Karr, J.R., Sanghvi, J.C., Macklin, D.N., Gutschow, M.V., Jacobs, J.M., Bolival, B., Assad-Garcia, N., Glass, J.I., & Covert, M.W. (2012). A whole-cell computational model predicts phenotype from genotype. Cell 150:389-401 DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2012.05.044
The authors combined 28 different sub-modules of various biological processes from the literature. Each one operates at the level of macromolecules, although models them in different ways: some by ODEs, some by logic; some by agent-based approaches. If you want to fool around their code is available online and I wrote a basic introduction/summary of the paper.
Here are some related bio.SE questions motivated by that model:
NAMD is a molecular simulation software system with an extensive, active community of researchers
it has a slick visualization package called VMD

Okay, so I think constipation might be relevant in this site because it's sort of related to nutrition, but..
One of the treatments to get rid of constipation is by using laxatives. However, I've heard that long-term uses of them are not desired, and can have detrimental effects.
What about suppositories? From what I've heard, they just soften up the stool on the spot, so would it be fair to assume that there's not much to worry about in terms of long-term effects?

BELLAIRE Village council finally has its pay scale in place for its part-time employees.
Council members passed an ordinance Thursday outlining the wages and stipulations associated with part-time, temporary and substitute employees within the village. The legislation, however, does not include part-time officers on the police department.
General part-time employees will be compensated $10 per hour while those possessing a CDL or any other certification or license for their position will make $12 per hour. These positions are allowed up to 39 hours per week and do not accrue any benefits.
Temporary employees can work up to 90 working days in a calendar year. Substitute employees are workers filling in for regular employees who have the right of 'return to work.'
Any hours logged as a substitute worker will not count toward a probationary period. They are generally disallowed from working more than 30 concurrent days.
The ordinance passed 6-0.
Councilman Jerry Fisher again reminded council about the village's ordinance pertaining to trailers within village limits and how, as of yet, nothing has bee done about the increasing number of trailers in town.
There is one being utilized by a downtown business, along with others in town.
"We squawk about it but don't do anything. They are not allowed to have trailers within village limits and someone needs to get a letter to these people saying you have so long to move these, if not, we'll bring you in and fine you," Fisher said. "It specifies in the ordinance what you can do but we don't do anything."
Marling noted that this will be discussed at the upcoming property committee meeting to see what can be done.
Councilman Jim Williams explained he was approached by a member of the Great Stone Viaduct Society about having a representative from the Ohio Historical Society's preservation office come in and talk with the society about the viaduct and discuss the group and village's plans and talk about any possible grants available. Marling suggested that since the next meeting has a full agenda already that the representative come to the April 4 meeting of council.
The Bellaire Police Department issued 337 parking tickets in February and 26 tickets for illegal parking. Collections totaled $593 and $230 for illegal parking. General arrests totaled eight for the month, along with 23 arrests on outstanding warrants. A total of 51 incidents were logged using the officer's toolkit.
Council approved a request from the Bellaire Citizens for the School Levy group, which asked permission to post banners asking for support of the upcoming $8.25 mill levy. One will be placed on Belmont St. and possibly another in the village park. That was approved 6-0.
The next meeting of Bellaire village council is Thursday, March 21 at 6 p.m.
Hughes may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

In The Big Bang Theory, How can Penny afford a one bedroom apartment on a waitresses' salary?
She doesn't seem poor and lives off with free food and WiFi, right?
In The Big Bang Theory, How can Penny afford a one bedroom apartment on a waitresses' salary?
She doesn't seem poor and lives off with free food and WiFi, right?
Internet searches for Cheesecake Factory waitress salaries range from $27,000-$33000. This may or may not include tips, but tips are shared with the kitchen. As you note, Penny freeloads quite a bit. Her car has had the engine-check light on forever.
Her apartment is not flashy - the elevator hasn't worked in 7 years. The PhDs across the hall are researchers, not professors, so their salaries may be quite average, and Sheldon keeps a roommate because he needs a driver.
Surely there are plenty of waitresses renting average apartments in California.
Additional Info (9/23/13)
On the episode entitled "The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification," Penny owes Leonard for several takeout dinners plus a month's rent which comes to "a little over $1400."
I found a potential answer to how Penny gets by here which explains a bit about California labour law and factors in the tips she would earn while working at the Cheesecake Factory;
This is a very old TV sitcom question. In multiple shows the protagonists live in apartments that are way beyond their means. Often, the apartments are huge or luxurious and in neighborhoods (mainly Manhattan) where the rents are astronomical.
Sitcoms are farce, not real life. The producers create spaces that are visually striking and easy to film around from one point of view; the camera never moves.
She lives beyond her means because theproducers want her to.
Notice that the Cheesecake Factory where she works is far more low rent than the restaurant is in real life; because the producers want it that way.
Unlike Sheldon and Leonard, she doesn't have student loan debts. She doesn't go out much and when she does, it's mostly to her job (where she gets a discount). Her car isn't new and needs repairs, so she's most likely not paying off a car loan.
In comparison, Leonard's crew go to comic cons, buy movie trinkets, stay up with the latest electronics, have nice cars, probably have years of student loan debts, and also eat out for the majority of their meals. So to live the lifestyle (and probably keep lots of savings) that they want, it makes sense for them to have a roommate.
As it's stated in several episodes, Penny mooches off the other characters. She eats their food and use their wifi. She seems to live paycheck to paycheck, and doesn't have savings like they do.
I work on tips as a bartender, so I understand the struggle.

A friend was complaining that her 3 year old Windows Vista install was taking "up to an hour" to become usable after booting, so I offered to take a look at it. There was a whole mess of stuff starting up on boot, but I broke the Windows habit before Vista was invented so don't know what's essential and what isn't. I ended up installing Ubuntu 11.10 on her empty D: drive and leaving her with a dual boot.
I installed the "xfce4" package because it was defaulting to a weird looking desktop with square icons down the left hand edge. Now it looks more like the Windows interface she's used to.
All seemed well until the next day when I received this from her:
Hi, Chris! Everything is really working well so far, thank you so much again!!!!
The only thing that is happening today is that the laptop is randomly shutting itself
off while I'm typing. I haven't hit the button, the battery is fully charged, etc.
I'm just going along, typing away, and all of a sudden it turns itself off. Any
ideas why that would be happening?
Other than that, I'm really happy with the changes. :-D
Any idea what the problem might be? Windows on the same computer never just powers off. It's a 2 GHz Celeron machine from 2008 or so, and she's doing nothing very intensive on it. Email in Google Chrome and documents in Libre Office is the extent of it.
I set up a 3GB swap partition, so I doubt it's running out of swap, and am stuck for ideas. It's an Acer Aspire 5315 ICL50.

I'm struggling on the first boss in Devil May Cry. Everytime he jumps on the Roller Coast he kills me. How do you avoid his grapple attack?
You need to avoid his gun attack as it turns into a grapple. If he does get you, you're able to escape but it's instant kill if you don't. I've followed the guide linked below and it worked for me. I struggled for a bit too
I never got caught once so I cannot comment on how to escape. But to avoid his grapple attack you just need to use a well timed dodge - hold the left stick in either direction and press the dodge button
To drain his life during the end of level fight you just need to smash his face in! Once he jumps up out of reach you will be instructed to shoot him in the head. Do exactly this, face him and open fire. Dodge any attacks you need to, but it shouldn't take much to get him back on the ground where you can start smashing his face in again :D

Job Growth Slows to a Trickle
Unemployment Rate Falls One-Tenth of a Percentage Point to 7.6%
Employers added fewer jobs in March than in any month in almost a year, a dark cloud after several months of slowly improving conditions in labor markets.
Just 88,000 jobs were created last month, far below February's 268,000 gain. The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey, dropped to a four-year low of 7.6%. But the decline was prompted by nearly a half-million workers leaving the job market, not job growth.
Friday's report from the Labor Department pushed investors out of stocks and into safer alternatives. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 172 points minutes after the report was released, but erased most of its losses to finish down 40.86 points, or 0.28%, to 14565.25. Demand for the perceived safety of U.S. Treasury bonds was strong, however, pushing the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down to 1.698%, its lowest this year.
The report is likely to mute talk—which had grown louder recently—that the Federal Reserve might move to curtail the pace of its bond buying, which is aimed at lowering long-term interest rates in an effort to spur spending, investment and hiring.
Fed officials have said they would buy long-term Treasury and mortgage bonds until the job-market outlook has improved substantially. One Fed official this week raised the possibility of a job market strong enough by summer for the central bank to begin pulling back from the program. But the March picture could raise doubts inside the Fed about how quickly the job market is healing and deflate that possibility.
The March reading stirred some fears of yet another "springtime swoon" for the labor market. In recent years, hiring has started the year strong, only to wilt as the weather warmed.
Friday's report underscored this point, as the government revised up its estimates for January and February by a combined 61,000 jobs. Even with those revisions, however, job growth started 2013 weaker than in the same period a year ago, suggesting the pace of hiring was trending down before March.
The jobs numbers reflect "a very sharp slowdown," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. But, he added, the weak growth may be a more accurate reflection of the fragile recovery than the "surprisingly good" employment numbers notched in January and February.
The Nonfarm Payrolls Report
Friday's jobs report shows that talk of an early end to the Federal Reserve's bond-buying programs might have been premature. The Journal's Jon Hilsenrath has more on what the jobs report means for the Fed.

Labor-market indicators tend to lag behind the broader economy. The big job gains of early 2013 were notable, coming on the heels of the meager 0.4% annualized growth in gross domestic product for the final quarter of 2012.
Some economists considered that year-end weakness at odds with the strong jobs numbers registered early in 2013. March's report may represent something of a payback for the gains of the past two months.
January and February's job-market progress came despite headwinds for consumers and businesses, such as higher payroll taxes.
"It seemed very strange that for the first couple of months of the year we had seen no impact" from those forces on the jobs market, Mr. Ashworth said. In the past week, softness began to creep into some indicators, with manufacturing and services activity both slowing their pace of growth.
Analysts cautioned against reading too much into numbers that reflect only one month's performance and will be revised. They also cited possible factors behind March's stumble, such as budget turmoil in Washington and unseasonably cold weather in parts of the country.
The snapshot was the first jobs report after the $85 billion in sweeping federal budget cuts, known as the sequester, that were triggered early last month. Economists said the sequester's effect is likely to ripple through the recovery in the second and third quarters. The specter of that fallout may have damped some hiring in March.
"Job creation clearly sputtered in March," said Eric Lascelles, chief economist for RBC Global Asset Management in Toronto. "I chalk some of it up to trepidation over the sequester."
Silver linings in the details were scant, beyond higher estimates for January and February's tallies. Employers took on 20,000 temporary workers in March, often seen as a hiring bellwether. The construction sector added 18,000 jobs, reflecting the housing market's healing, but well below the nearly 50,000 added the month before. Governments shed 7,000 jobs in March.
The decline in the unemployment rate resulted not from more people getting jobs but rather from almost 500,000 individuals leaving the workforce, because of layoffs as well as retirement and other reasons. The labor-force participation rate, which measures those employed as well as those looking for work as a portion of the population, fell 0.2 percentage points to a seasonally adjusted 63.3%, a level last seen in mid-1979.
Among the sectors that lost jobs was transportation, with truck transportation shedding almost 7,000 positions in March. Tennant Truck Lines Inc. of Colona, Ill., saw business "flatten out in the fourth quarter of 2012…after about 15 months of month-over-month growth," said Aaron Tennant, chief executive of the family-owned company.
The company, which hauls agricultural and construction equipment as well as construction materials, still is hiring, Mr. Tennant said, despite the pause in business. That's because "long-distance truck drivers are incredibly hard to come by." Recruiting is our biggest challenge, and then retaining them once we have them." He plans to add between 30 and 35 jobs this year to his workforce of 225.
His company, which has been in business since 1946, is feeling both the benefits and costs of the housing recovery.
The rise in housing starts since the market bottomed last year "means more demand for construction equipment and steel and lumber and other materials that we haul," Mr. Tennant said. But it also means losing some of his drivers to the construction industry.
"Truck drivers hauling my freight can be gone from their families for a week," Mr. Tennant said. "They can walk out of my industry and into construction and walk into a job where they're home every night."
The housing market's gains have yet to reach some commercial contractors. Richard Duncan, who founded a project-management firm 11 years ago, said business in the first quarter has been "kind of a surprising flat line for us."
His 15-person company, Rich Duncan Construction, handles about 50 projects a year such as renovating offices, building restaurants or doing seismic upgrades on airport towers.
The Salem, Ore., firm usually is juggling almost a dozen projects, Mr. Duncan said, but that pace has slowed to fewer than 10 because clients' "hesitancy" about the economy has put expansion on the back burner.
The slower pace means more of Mr. Duncan's employees are doing hands-on work at job sites, instead of acting as general contractors and managing electricians, plumbers and other subcontractors.
"When we're hiring, we're hiring someone who is already trained and can step into a fast-paced situation. There's a real lack of qualified applicants at that level," Mr. Duncan said. "If we did let somebody go, the chances of us pulling somebody back in at the level we need them at, it's too risky."

Crime and Punishment
God help me, I'm still rooting for Walt.
I'm certainly not blind to the evil he has done: the killings he has committed or ordered, the way that lies--even the ones he tells himself--have come to define his life, the destruction his "product" has wreaked on the lives of thousands of people he has never met. I understand why many viewers are taking, if not pleasure, then a certain degree of righteous satisfaction in the judgment being visited upon him. What goes around comes around. Ye reap as ye sow.
Yet from the beginning of the show, there was something in me that connected with Walt. Not with his choices, to be sure, but with the existential situation that gave rise to those choices.
I've done enough men's ministry to know that the age of 50--Walt's age at the beginning of the show--is often a crisis point for many men. By the time a man reaches that age (and I'm getting pretty close), the trajectory of his life is largely set. From what once may have seemed an infinite array of options, the choices he has made at each stage of his life have progressively narrowed the next set of choices.
It's true that those choices allow you to live more intensively rather than extensively, to go deep rather than broad. There may be less "freedom," but life is generally richer for having made those choices.
But there are times--usually in the middle of the night when the devil does his best work--when the shadow side of those choices emerges from a dark place in your soul. You can begin to feel as if you have lost control of your life, that you are merely reading a script that your younger self has written. You look around and see friends and family members who are no smarter and no more hardworking than you, but who seemed to have grabbed the brass ring while your hand came up empty. Even if you have advanced in your career, this is often the point at which you realize the number of musical chairs is diminishing and there may not be one left for you when the music stops.
Yes, there are stories of people who have radically reinvented themselves in mid-life. But that never seems to be you, does it? Marriage, children, an underwater mortgage, overdue bills that keep your credit rating on the ragged edge of disaster, they all seem like obstacles to the new life you crave and feel you deserve.
This is the point at which many men "break bad" in ways large and small. While Walt's cancer is the spark, it is this broader emotional context that provides the tinder. But in the same way that most college students infatuated with Nietzsche don't bludgeon the local pawnbroker with an axe, most men suffering from a mid-life crisis do not become lords of a multi-state methamphetamine empire. Like Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, Walter White is a fictional character whose story is made extreme to illuminate a psychological and spiritual narrative that speaks more universally. Even the character's name--Walter White--suggests some kind of everyman, a symbol of the downwardly mobile white middle class whose anger has done much to shape our current politics.
When I saw that I am rooting for Walt, I want to be clear what I mean. I'm not rooting for him to triumph over his enemies in an orgy of redemptive violence, although I fear that may be where we are headed. To steal a line said to Michael Corleone by Cardinal Luciani in The Godfather III, Walt's sins are great. It is right that he suffers. His sins are great enough to be beyond any meaningful human forgiveness.
Am I suggesting then, that my desired end would be for Walt, like Raskolnikov, to embrace Jesus Christ? If Walt were a real person, that would very much be my wish. Fictionally, though, I'm not sure how Vince Gilligan could pull that off without it seeming false and sentimental. Sentimentality in art does not advance the cause of Christ.
What I am hoping for is that Walt can encounter God's forgiveness in a form he can accept, a form that will allow him to acknowledge the true depth of his depravity without despairing of the possibility of forgiveness and redemption. It is the hope that Walt can, in some mysterious way, make the words of St. Paul his own: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God." (Eph 2:8).

I believe this is the second person posting on Commonweal notions about how interesting a murderous, lethal drug making/dealing fellow is to "me". Perhaps, just perhaps, you are capable of imaginging in detail the experience of watching one of your family members slide into crack addiction. The reality of Walt and his kind lose their academic, existential shine. But no matter, you get to blog and show the world your, well, worldliness, and the writers and producer get to chat with Charlie Rose on their way to purchasing a new car with their winnings. And we have a new cult hero.
Forgive me for asking: Who's Walt? On what show?
It takes nothing away from the reality of the pain that accompanies watching a family member slide into addiction to identify with the pain that has driven Walter White from Mr. Chips to Scarface. This is not to defend Walt's choices. It is to say that Breaking Bad is brilliant entertainment, literary and mature television, because it's treats evil as the complex phenomenon that it is. Walt isn't a monster who has nothing in common with us. He is one of us who succumbed to a despair that upset his moral compass. For these reasons, I'm always grateful for these discussions here.
An interesting reflection, marred only slightly by an unnecessary implication of race. I agree that a redeemed Walt is not well-supported. In fact, I wish the series had ended with last week's near perfect episode. The wages of Walt's sins being his realization that the best thing for his family was his removal from it. We could fill in our own blanks on how his new life would have been, but it would be some combination of nasty, brutish and short.
I fear the remaining 2 episodes, once the meth high from them wears off, will detract from the story.
Perhaps, just perhaps, you are capable of imaginging in detail the experience of watching one of your family members slide into crack addiction.
Yes, and addiction is not just addiction to substances. As Gabor Mate explains, addiction is any repeated behaviour, substance related or not, in which a person feels compelled to persist regardless of its negative impact on his or her life or the lives of others.
While Walt is not addicted to meth, he is addicted to power, standing, what he sees as acquisition and the building of an empire. We would call that a workaholic and it is a more "acceptable" form of addiction nothwithstanding what it does to family relationships and basic concepts of fairness and sharing. And we see how this plays out in his life. We see his rationalizations. But, it is hard to judge him because we grow to understand and know him. Jesse is more of a traditional addict, addicted to cocaine and meth and we see his vulnerability and how he too is a victim in many ways. Marie was even addicted to shoplifting early on. Shoplifting can be a form of maladaptive coping with anxiety.
At bottom, most if not all of these, are spiritual problems that we can identify with. Most of us just muddle along somehow living what Thoreau called lives of quiet desparation. There are very few saints to guide and help us. The Church should offer a counter-witness and a means of witnessing to another path, another way of life. We see very few saints in the show with the exception of Hank who I have found a new respect for especially after last weeks episode.
But the program shows us the complexity of all of these characters lives in, yes an entertaining way, but at the same time there are layers of meaning and resonance.

re: Who is Walt? On what show?
What joy! What bliss for you not to be drowning in pop culture!
Joe: I am glad I am not the only one who does not know what this post is about!
He's a clerk at Oleson's Mercantile on Little House on the Prarie.
Joe, Walt is from Breaking Bad which Molly has been talking about . It is on AMC on Sunday night
Fr. K and Claire"
Seriously though Walter White is a character who when the show begins is a mild mannered high school chemistry teacher with a wife and one son with cerbral palsy and another on the way. He is diagnosed with lung cancer. As a means to make money to afford his treatment, he stumbles upon a former student, Jessie Pinkman. Together they begin selling methamphetamine. Because Walt is a chemist, he knows how to make the product in its purest form and eventually it becomes very lucrative.
From there, he begins to amass more and more money and is drawn further into the criminal underworld. Somewhat unwittingly and somewhat wittingly, he takes on the personna of Heisenberg (an allusion to the German scientist who also came up with the uncertainty principal). The name is not accidental.
His motivation is at first money but then "empire".
He is portrayed in a very compelling way by Brian Cranston. This video is a good synoposis of Walter White's transformation.
I mistakenly thought the show was on HBO, which I don't get. But last week I discovered it by accident on AMC. There were two episodes. i'm hooked (!) now, And I usually hate make-believe violence.
In spite of the fact that a metamorphosis such as Walt's is hard to imagine, Cranston, the actor, is c. The show is a tragedy in the full Greek sense -- about a superior man with a tragic flaw. Cranston is great enough an actor to make Walt believable, and the others actors and the direction are first rate.
ISTM this is TV which is fine art. A great Western. I keep thinking of what Pope Francis said in his recent interview -- no matter how much of a disaster a human life is, there is God in it. So with Walt.
A clerk in heaven? Oh crap, I had the wrong Walt. My apologies.
I'm glad you asked, because I want to know too, and didn't have the courage reveal my ignorance. I'm guessing it's not Walt Disney.

The equations I've looked at so far don't really account for massive late hopping and whirlpool additions. I really like the flavor and aroma I get from late hopping, but It's been very hard to brew a consistent beer. I realize that none of these equations is very accurate to begin with, but from a recipe design standpoint I really need a way to estimate how much bitterness I'll end up with. How do I (somewhat) estimate the bitterness impact of super late additions?
For whirlpool hops, you don't have to worry about increasing the IBUs since the alpha acids are barely soluble in their natural state, and contribute bitterness only by being continually boiled.
For late additions, since these are boiled, then the usual IBU formulae can be used. John Palmer gives Tinseth's formula and computed values for a variety of times and SGs. There's also a discussion of the formula from 'Designing Great Beers' by Ray Daniels here on HB stackexchange. For additions less than 10 minutes, 0.06 utilization is assumed. (The link gives the formula so you can compensate also for gravity if above 1.050.)
But as the OP mentions, none of the formulae are accurate. They are best used as a rough guide, which you then refine by inspection of the final result, and adjusting the amount of late additions accordingly. One thing to bear in mind is that it's believed that utilization decreases as more hop mass is added, but the current formulae don't take this into account.

How To Build A SIMPLE Sliding Barn Door
** Check out THIS POST for an updated (and more detailed) lightweight version of this tutorial! Including how to make your own door!
How to make a Sliding Barn door was hands down the most requested tutorial from The Epic Room Makeover 2012, which I was SUPER excited about, cause it is one of my favorite projects too….
DIY Sliding Doors are fantastic. They can also be very not thrifty depending on the hardware that you use to hang them. But guess what? They don't need to be expensive. Kelsey's was done for under $75 my friends. How do you feel about that?
There are a few measurements you need to get right off the bat. You need the length of the pipe for the door to slide on (make sure you give it enough room to open!) and you need the width of your door opening.
Now that you have your measurements, you need a door. Measure the space you need to fill and add at least a 2" overhang to each side. We ended up at Restore and played Let's Make A Deal with Randy, the Restore employee. I wish I could say he loved us like everyone else we had video taped that weekend, but notsomuch. Which is weird. Cause we are PRETTY dang loveable.
This is the door I fell in love with. It was solid wood and it may or may not have been covered in bird poop and feathers. We got it for $40.
Here is the problem. Though we THOUROUGHLY measured the door opening when we found this great door we were so excited that we accidentally forgot to measure the door. Whoopsie. But we totally fixed it, so its fine. (I know I had you worried for a second.)
The first item of business was to cut the length of the door down 6". (The door was 8' and so was the opening, we needed to make room for the casters and eyehooks.) You can determine the amount you may or may not need to cut the door down by adding the height of the casters, eyehooks, and where on the wall it will be mounted.
Did you know that if you have something huge like this door to cut that you can take it over to Lowes and they will cut it for you? Even if you didn't buy it from them! Originally I was all for jigging it out, but to get a perfect line in about 2 minutes is a MUCH better option.
Once the door arrived back at Kelsey's we needed to expand the width (remember the whole not measuring at the store thing? We used 2×2 premium pine slats to do this. (Premium means that they are not as warped. They are a little bit more expensive than the cheap pine but totally necessary in this type of project.)
Start by drilling your pilot holes through the 2x2s and into the door. If you don't there is a great chance that the solid door will stop your screw in its tracks, and/or strip it. Strip it good. You will need screws that are long enough to get a good grip in your door. We used 2 1/2" wood screws.
When its time to attach your casters and eyehooks the biggest thing that you need to remember is that they need to be PERFECTLY centered/even especially the eyehooks.
I would recommend getting stationary casters that don't swivel, we did not get them and its fine but when I do this project in Ivie's room I will for sure be doing that. You will pre-drill your pilot holes and screw them on! We used metal casters from Lowes. If I remember right they were around $4 each.
We used the largest eyehook that Lowes had for the guides on the top of the door. If I were to do it over again, I would use larger hooks (you can probably find them at a specialty store) or a thinner piece of pipe. Though it will slide there is room for play, so if you eye hooks arent perfectly centered on each other then it will rub.
This is where we took a sleeping break.
And now its morning! Oh the power of the internet.
Use wood filler to fill your gaps. I would not use regular wall spackle especially if your door has a clear coat on it. It wont adhere the way that it needs to and will probably crack. So wood filler. Got it?
When its completely dry its time to sand.
Make sure that you are wearing a mask when you are sanding wood putty, because it is a lot harder than spackle you will be sanding a lot longer. Therefore breathing it in longer. And no one wants a black lung from wood putty. Just to be safe, next time you are at Lowes grab a pack of 3M masks for $5. They are SO important to have on hand.
Isnt Jilly cute?
Once your surface is smooth and gap free (hooray!!) its time to paint! Don't forget to put your ScotchBlue down to get perfect edges and protect the parts you don't want painted!
To get our bright blue edge I bought a sample pot from Lowes in a great cobalt color and used this technique.
Now lets get into the pipe aspect of the door. There are 2 types of conduit pipe that they sell at Lowes. They have electrical conduit and pluming conduit. You want the electrical. Its cheaper. Go into the store with the measurements that you need for the handle and for the length of the sliding rod. They will cut and thread the pipe for you for free, then all you have to do is screw it together!
To make your handle and your sliding rod you will need (4) floor flanges, (2) Connecting Nipples, (2) 1" Connecting Nipples, (4) 90 degree elbows, and the pieces of electrical conduit pipe in your preferred length. The pipe we used was 3/4".
To make the rod that the door slides on you use the exact same set up and the handle pictured above. The only difference is that you use a 1" connector nipple between the flange and the elbow (it will give you a little more length from the wall.)
When you are mounting your flanges to the wall, do everything you can to get it into a stud. It will make it MUCH more secure. This door is heavy and you need to be safe.
Put the door on the pipe and determine where it needs to attach to the wall. (You obviously determined this before you had the door cut down but do a dry run before you start screwing things to the wall.)
Attach your first flange to your studs with the pipe on it. The put your door on.
Screw your other elbow flange combo on and mount it to the studs on the other end. You need to remember that the door is not hanging from the rod/eyehooks. They are simply a guide. All of the weight of the door should be on the casters at the bottom. If you have hardwood/tile it will glide MUCH easier than if you have carpet like Kels.
Pretty simple right?!
You may notice in the picture above the gaping hole in the door from its previous function as an actual door. Stupid previous function. When we were attaching the handle we had one of those "Shoot me now. No really, just do it." moments. The plan was to cover the hole that was made for the door knob with our handle (the floor flange fits perfectly!) so that's just what we did. Then we realized because we used the best side of the door for the front, we made it so that the handle was on the wrong side. Balls. This is where ingenuity and the DIY spirit comes in. We moved the handle to the other side and covered that entire center piece with a few scrap pieces of wood. Bam. Problem solved, character added, happy Mandi.
Can you believe what an easy project this is?
HUGE thank you to Lowes for sponsoring this project!

5 Celebrity Careers Launched by Ethnic Makeovers
It's 2009, and race still matters. Especially if you're in front of the cameras and realize that in these enlightened times audiences like racial diversity as long as, you know, everyone looks sort of white.
Here are five celebrities who found fame and fortune thanks largely to an extensive ethnic makeover.
#5. Cindy Margolis
Cindy Margolis was born a gorgeous, brunette, Jewish girl. She continued being all three of those things in the 80s, when she was making okay money as a model. Her biggest credit was "Ribcage Girl" in a video called Shape up for Sensational Sex.
She needed to take that next step to stardom, and she knew that here in America we like a certain type of girl.
This type. This is the type.
The Metamorphosis:
A. Nose job. She had them thin the bridge of the nose. Now it makes us sound like dicks to say she did it to make herself look "less Jewish" but the truth is, the procedure is depressingly very common for that exact reason. The first nose job ever performed was on a Jewish patient, in an era when it wasn't done out of vanity, but because of the terrible things that tended to happen to Jews in those days. So our society has advanced, but only to the point that you still have to do the procedure if you want to sell a certain number of bikini posters.
B. Cheek implants. Fuller, higher cheeks give her a more "All-American" or Midwestern look.
C. Eye lift. Notice the complete re-sculpting of the area around her "ethnically" bushy eyebrows.
The Payoff:
Umm, how about this for starters:
After making the change to wholesome blonde, Margolis's bikini pics became a sensation in 1995, on some newfangled device called "the World Wide Web." She soon became a modeling phenomenon, advertised as "The Sexiest Woman Online."
However, this life of extreme fame and fortune, just for laying around, is eclipsed by her greatest achievement: Her own reality show where douchebags line up to win her affections.
So surgery or not, that appears to be the ceiling for Cindy.
#4. Jackie Chan and Lindsay Price
Jackie Chan has been doing action movies since before a lot of you were born; doing stunt work in the early 70s for action movies in Hong Kong, then becoming an international movie star in the late 70s and early 80s. He spent the next 30 years beating the shit out of hapless opponents in hilarious ways.
Lindsay Price, meanwhile, saw her career sputter after her role as Janet on 90210 was through. Her roles were limited to guest parts and horrible, tanking TV shows. Of course, tough times can usually be expected from someone whose mom and dad are adopted siblings.
The Metamorphosis:
A. Both Lindsay--whose father was Korean--and Jackie had blepharoplasty, more commonly known as an eyelid tuck. This is a hugely popular surgery among Asians, where the eyelids are given an extra forced fold to appear more open and "Western." Jackie Chan supposedly had his done back in 1976, knowing that being a movie star meant getting a foot in the door in Hollywood, where the attitude was that stars of kung fu movies should look Asian, but not that Asian.
B. Lindsay also had a chin implant, which gives the jaw a rounder, more Caucasian look. Interestingly, these implants are traditionally done with silicone, which explains the common desire to motorboat Lindsay's chin.
The Payoff:
Lindsay Price's IMDB page says it all. Notice the distinctly Asian names of characters she plays until 2007:
Kimmy Kim, Dr. Honda, Michael Lai, the list goes on.
Then, in 2007, the character names distinctly change:
Joanna Frankel, Nikki Wickersham and the "big" role that's kept her paid: Victory Ford in Lipstick Jungle.
What's most intriguing is Lindsay's chameleon-like ability to flip on command:
Maybe we should just shut up about Ms. Price and her aggressive mutant powers.
#3. Rita Hayworth
One of the defining silver screen sex symbols, Rita Hayworth was born with the much less American-sounding name, Margarita Carmen Cansino.
She was raised in a Spanish dance family, and spent much of her childhood dancing in bars (see? It's totally a legitimate way to raise a kid.) After Hayworth, er, Cansino's father moved the family to Hollywood, the 16-year-old signed with Fox studios. She tried a few minor roles, but never got her big break. Fox studios decided not to renew her option.
The Metamorphosis:
Columbia Pictures came along and, not being much for political correctness, pretty much told Cansino that her lack of success was due to her being way too Spanish-y. So, Cansino agreed to go along with a few surgical processes, such as:
A. Painful Hairline Electrolysis
Cansino had a low hairline, which pegged her as a Latina. This is the same discrimination which kept Vega out of the World Warrior tournament, until he wore a mask to conceal his hairline.
Cansino submitted to getting electric shocks to kill her follicles and stop them from growing. Keep in mind this is the 1930s, when "anaesthesiology" usually meant "stroking your hand while you chugged from a flask of bourbon." Next time you have a hot hair curler or a live wire, poke yourself in the forehead with it several hundred times. Now you're as pretty as Rita Hayworth... well, not yet, you still need some...
B. Skin Lightening
Now that you've got fresh shock marks on your forehead, scrub them with this bleach solution. That's exactly what Cansino did, all over her entire body. Skin lightening is a dangerously unregulated practice even now, but it was significantly worse 70 years ago. But, Cansino wasn't done yet, before she signed with Columbia, she also had to have a...
C. Hair Color and Name Change
Carmen Cansino became Rita Hayworth. Her dark hair was died auburn. The transformation complete, Rita Hayworth now looked Saltine enough for Columbia:
The Payoff:
Not five years before, the young immigrant's daughter was dancing in smoky bars for coins. After her "honky-fication," she became the hottest thing in sanctioned Armed Forces self-pleasure. A picture of her kneeling on a bed in a nightgown sold 5 million copies. Her likeness was fashioned on the side of atomic bombs.
Columbia starred Hayworth in many successful pictures, most notably, Gilda. Rita Hayworth found herself dancing with stars like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Eventually, she settled down and married a prince.
The next time somebody tells you the path to success is "just be yourself," tell them Rita's inspirational story. It's all about skin-bleaching.
Well, not always...

Suppose $Y$ be an ordered set in the order topology. Let $f, g: X \to Y$ be continuous. How to show that the set $\{x| f(x) \leq g(x)\}$ is closed?
This is a excercise from munkres. Maybe trying to show that the set $f(\{x| f(x) > g(x)\})$ is open is suffice. But I could not figure out the connection between this set and the continuity of the two functions.Could you give a hint?

WELLSBURG - As it receives an additional $400,000 for the second phase of the Eldersville Road sewer project, the Brooke County Public Service District has changed its approach.
On Wednesday Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced the approval of a Small Cities Block Grant in that amount through the West Virginia Development Office. It is among $12.5 million in federal grants awarded for 17 water and sewer projects in the state.
The Brooke County PSD Board authorized Randy Watson of Thrasher Engineering, the engineer for the project, to complete designs.

GRANT AWARDED — Gov. Early Ray Tomblin, center, presented state Sen. Jack Yost, D-Wellsburg, right; and Dan Ferrell of Thrasher Engineering, the engineer for the Eldersville Road sewer project, with confirmation of a $400,000 Small Cities Block Grant for the project's second phase. - Contributed
Plans call for sewer lines to be extended from Black's Hollow in the Cross Creek area and to St. John's and Eldersville roads for as far as funding will support. The project is actually the second phase of a larger project that already has included the extension of sewer lines to Mahan Lane, Eldersville Road west of Mahan Lane and Bruin Drive. It was funded by a $9.8 million federal grant through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency because concerns were raised about raw sewage from residents' overtaxed septic systems reaching streams in the area.
Citing a lack of funds available for the second phase, the Brooke County PSD board earlier moved to divide the second phase into smaller segments to be pursued as funds became available.
But Barbara Zimnox, a community development specialist for the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission, told the board Wednesday the state Development Office doesn't support that.
Instead officials with the office have encouraged the board to use the grant money to leverage a $700,000 loan for the entire phase, she said.
Once completed, the project is expected to serve about 550 homes and small businesses.
In related business, the board moved to write to its attorney, Wayne Mielke, saying he will need to resolve issues connected to the project within 10 days.
As the board's legal counsel, Mielke has been involved in acquiring easements for the first phase. But Mielke said this summer the board made plans to hire a new attorney for the second phase. He said that would be a breach of contract because he was hired for the entire project.
Mielke, who was called for comment, said not having seen the letter, he can't respond to their issues.
Also on Wednesday, the board:
Heard from resident Paul McQuillan, who asked how soon a sewer line will be extended near his home on Eldersville Road near Boyd Road and the cost to tap into it and for the service.
Watson told McQuillan the extension of sewer lines to that area may not occur for at least two years.
Board members said the cost for service will be based on the customer's water usage if they receive water through the city of Follansbee, or a base rate if they get their water from private wells.
The base rate is $46.17, but that could change, depending on funding available for the project, they noted.
Board member Bill Liposchak said the future customers will be required to hire a contractor to extend lines from the main line to their homes. That cost can range from $500 to $1,200, he said.
Heard from resident Dominic Martino, who asked when a sewer line will be extended to his home off Cross Creek Road.
Martino's home is near the project area but wasn't included because it was too far from the main line, Brooke PSD officials said. They have since agreed to add it.
Watson said cost estimates will be sought for the extension and if they are more than $10,000, the board must seek bids for it.
Tabled the approval of minutes from three previous meetings. When asked why, Liposchak said they can't be approved until some legal issues have been resolved.

I have got an idea that can make a good app for web and mobile. I tell myself to design the prototype so as to see how people take it. The problem is when I sit to code, I can't get things done. I kind of know what has to get done, but unable to do so.
I sometimes get intimidated by the code, though I have been coding for quite sometime. I'm not sure why, as I love technology and have the ideas of how to build great programs. For example I found Backbone.js to be very useful for modularizing in my website, but somehow not able code in it too well, put off by tiny little things.
How to motivate myself to code a project, learn new stuff and discipline myself to finish what I do? Here's a perspective of what I have done so far - I have been part of Google Summer of Code, contributed test cases for Mozilla, 2 years of professional experience in a tech company mainly dealing with IBM Mainframes, COBOL.
I kind of think it's a stupid question to ask, but what I'm looking for is people who have faced a similar situation and have reformed themselves to be successful. If this is not the place to ask, suggestion to where to look for will be appreciated.

Recently, I'm having trouble killing Antimage (Magina). His low-cooldown blink which allow him to get in/out of team fight makes him an annoying hero, also this hard carry hero really get so strong as the game progresses on and provided he was able to farm well, he will simply dominate each of you.
Which hero should I pick to counter to easily kill this hero?
Some say that Lion is a good counter but I simply don't get why since Lion is a INT hero and as far as I know, Antimage is very effective against INT type heroes.

I would like to hear some "real life experience" suggestions if foreign key restrictions are good or bad thing to enforce in DB.
I would kindly ask students/beginners to refrain from jumping and answering quickly and without thinking.
At the beginning of my career I thought that stupidest thing you can do is disregard the referential integrity. Today, after few projects I'm thinking differently. Quite differently.
What do you think? Should we enforce foreign key restrictions or not?
Please explain your answer.

6 Scientific Reasons People Drive Like Assholes
Shocking stat of the day: Despite the invention of airbags, seatbelts, antilock brakes and god knows how many other improvements meant to keep us safe, traffic deaths aren't much lower than before all that was invented.
How is that even possible? Well, if you've spent five minutes on the roads today, you know why: People can't drive worth a shit. Here are some scientific reasons that guy in the next lane is about to run you into a guardrail.
#6. He Just Finished Playing a Racing Video Game
Unless you're a professional gamer, a mercenary for hire or you just take lots of acid and often find yourself chasing six-foot tall mushrooms through the streets, there really aren't that many video game skills that translate into something practical in the real world.
At first blush, racing games seem to be an exception to that rule. We all have to drive, right? And not just anyone can navigate a Lamborghini Murcielaga through Las Vegas at 185 miles-per-hour and only slaughter, like, two pedestrians. Surely the dexterity and reflexes required to brake, boost and drift all at the same time in Burnout: Paradise translate to some sweet fucking chops behind the wheel of an actual car, right?
Er... right?
Not the same as real life.
Incredibly, video games have failed to improve our lives again.
A recent study found that men who simply play racing games and then get behind the wheel of a real car tend to take more risks, display more aggression toward other motorists and generally drive like they're trying to cross some imaginary finish line before everyone else. Or, like the other cars are cheating by teleporting right behind him even when he knew he was way ahead, goddamnit.
Curiously, this effect can be blunted if you simply avoid having a penis. Studies showed women can play Gran Turismo for eight hours straight, drive home in the heaviest rush-hour traffic ever and never once scream, "Get that piece of shit out of my way you festering communist anal wart."
#5. The Dunning-Kruger Effect
This one is not only a cause for bad driving everywhere, but also about half of the bad stuff that happens in the world.
Have you ever known anyone who thought they were awesome at something when, in reality, they sucked very, very badly? Even when all their friends told them they sucked? And their mother told them they sucked? You've got the guy at the office who still insists he could play in the NFL, the shrieking girl on karaoke night who is sure she could sing professionally if she chose to...
It's possible that those poor souls are living in the shadow of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Cornell psychologists Justin Kruger and David Dunning describe this phenomenon as someone being "unskilled and unaware," meaning they have a specific short circuit in their brains that makes them suck at figuring out they suck.
Once you are aware of this phenomenon, you'll see it five times a day in your everyday life. And perhaps nowhere is this more dramatically demonstrated than on our roadways.
This driver will vastly overestimate his own driving abilities, while underestimating or diminishing everyone else's, and he'll be as self-assured as possible while he's doing it. That's why he thinks he's perfectly capable of talking on his cell while steering with a sandwich, but anybody else who does that should have both their license and reproductive organs revoked.
Experts call this "deficient metacognitive skill" but it's basically a ridiculous system by which a person continually sees all other drivers as worse than they are, therefore making himself look better by comparison. This is coupled with a complete inability to self-evaluate, so they go on living in their own little fantasy world where they're the king of the road, and the rest of us are just obstacles to be avoided, sped by and flipped off.
#4. The Safer They Feel, the Worse They Drive
The primary need of every human is to feel safe and secure. Once those needs are met, it really frees us up to concentrate on other more important things, like changing lanes without looking, tailgating other drivers and leaning on our horn during a traffic jam just to alert other drivers that we're displeased with the situation.
Everyone else hates it too. Shut up.
Everybody has an acceptable level of risk, and scientists say we try to keep risk at the same acceptable level in any situation. This sort of makes sense until you realize that if your risk level is too low, you will actually engage in riskier behavior to compensate.
So, for example, when you get into your custom Volvo with the five-point harness NASCAR seat belts, side impact airbags and anti-lock, you don't just pat yourself on the back for being extra safe. No, you subconsciously compensate by driving faster, following other cars more closely and flipping the bird more frequently.
On the opposite side of the psychological highway, the driver in the '74 Ford Pinto with the washrag gas cap and four bald tires is probably driving under the speed limit, signaling every turn and hating your guts as you whiz by him at 90 miles-an-hour.
Last known sighting of the elusive Pinto.
Maybe it's the same reason football players get concussions even with those armored, padded helmets on their heads. Each guy seems to think, "Hey, I've got my skull good and protected! That means I can slam my head into dudes even harder."
Basically, all the well-intentioned safety measures the world imposes on us are nullified by the psychopath that lies just below the surface in all of us.

I was trying to prove (or to find a counterexample) of the following inequality:
$$\binom{n}{j}\leqslant 2^n$$
As I coudn't find a proof/counterexample, I tested some numbers and could see it working up to $n=12$. Does anyone have a proof/counterexample of it? I've tried to pass the $\log_2$ in both sides, in order to use properties of $\log$, but I could't find anything better. Any help will be appreciated.

Biden bashes Romney, Ryan during speech in Fort Pierce
Ryan attends private fundraiser in West Palm Beach
UPDATED 5:31 PM EDT Oct 19, 2012
Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd of supporters in Fort Pierce that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and running mate Paul Ryan have "Romnesia" when it comes to their views of how to improve the country.
"It's a bad disease, and it's contagious," Biden said Friday during a speech at Lincoln Park Academy.
Biden criticized the Romney and Ryan approach to health care and women's rights, among other topics.
"Talk about being out of touch," Biden quipped.
While Biden was speaking, Ryan arrived at Palm Beach International Airport. He was attending a private fundraiser in West Palm Beach.

Tawny port wine is made from red grapes aged in wood, exposing them to gradual oxidation and evaporation, for longer than a ruby port wine. As a result, the wine loses its brilliant ruby color, becoming a dark amber or a tawny hue with a characteristic "nutty" flavor imparted by the wood. Finally, through a system of fractional blending with various older port wines to match the house style, the resulting tawny wine is elegant and soft, showing delicate wood notes and rich mellow fruit.
Although there are several various kinds of tawny port wine, the two main types are: a young tawny that lacks any indication of age, and an older tawny labeled with a specific age.
Basic NV Tawny Port
Although the term "tawny' refers to a wine that has been aged in wood for longer than ruby port wine, the majority of young tawnies are made from a blend of both red and white grapes, aged for approximately the same time as a ruby port wine. Come summer, several bulk tawnies are shipped up river to the Douro valley in cement baloes where they literally stew from the ambient heat, referred to as the Douro Bake. The Douro Bake is a traditional expression used to explain a particular characteristic imparted to Port when aged in a hot, arid climate, as opposed to the milder, cooler temperatures in Vila Nova de Gaia. Consequently, the resulting wines mature rapidly, losing their bright red color, and display a slightly brown tinge around the rim. On the palate, although lacking in the powerful fruit characteristics normally associated with a young ruby port wine, tawnies tend to be softer, more subtle, and many times, slightly more approachable.

(AP) Kenjon Barner rushed for a school-record 321 yards and five touchdowns, Marcus Mariota threw four TD passes, and second-ranked Oregon produced another epic offensive performance in a 62-51 victory over No. 18 Southern California. Oregon's 730 yards and 62 points were the most ever allowed by USC, which began playing football in 1888. Josh Huff caught two touchdowns. De'Anthony Thomas and Daryl Hawkins also caught scoring passes for the 9-0 Ducks.
In other AP Top-25 action:
Top-ranked Alabama escaped Baton Rouge with a 21-17 victory over fifth-ranked LSU. A.J. McCarron hit freshman T.J. Yeldon on a screen pass that clicked for 28 yards and the winning touchdown with 51 seconds left to keep the Crimson Tide undefeated at 9-0.
Collin Klein piled up more than 300 yards of offense before leaving in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury, and third-ranked Kansas State remained unbeaten with a 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State. Klein had thrown for 245 yards and run for 64 more before sneaking in for his 50th career rushing touchdown with 9:47 left in the third quarter. The Heisman Trophy frontrunner didn't return to the field on the Wildcats' next offensive series.
Notre Dame's national championship hopes are alive after escaping upset-minded Pittsburgh 29-26 in a triple overtime thriller at Notre Dame Stadium. The fourth-ranked Irish are 9-0 for the first time since 1993. Everett Golson scored on a quarterback sneak in the third overtime as Notre Dame rallied from a 14-point deficit.
Carlos Hyde rushed for 137 yards and three touchdowns and Braxton Miller passed for two scores and ran for another to lead No. 6 Ohio State past Illinois 52-22. The 10-0 Buckeyes remained atop the Big Ten Leaders Division.

Landry Jones threw for 405 yards and a season-high four touchdowns as No. 14 Oklahoma beat Iowa State 35-20. The victory moves coach Bob Stoops into a second-place tie with Bud Wilkinson on the Sooners' career win list. Stoops posted his 145th victory with Oklahoma. He is 12 wins shy of tying Barry Switzer for the most in school history. The 6-2 Sooners, who are 4-1 in the Big 12, have won 20 straight following a defeat in the regular season. They were beaten by Notre Dame last week.
Fifteenth-ranked Stanford walked all over Colorado, 48-0 Kevin Hogan ignited Stanford's sputtering offense as he threw for 184 yards and ran for 48 more. The shutout is the first for Colorado at home in 26 years.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel threw for 311 yards and ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns as No. 16 Texas A&M beat 17th-ranked Mississippi State 38-13. Manziel completed 30 of 36 passes.
David Ash threw for three touchdowns and 264 yards to lead Texas to a 31-22 victory against No. 20 Texas Tech

(AP) Brooklyn made a winning return to major pro sports as the NBA Nets beat the Toronto Raptors 107-100 in the first game at Barclays Center. It's the first regular-season game by a major sports team in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left in 1957.
The 55-year wait was extended a couple of extra days by Superstorm Sandy. But the borough finally has a team of its own again, and the Nets think it's going to be a good one.
Brook Lopez scored 27 points and Deron (DEHR'-ihn) Williams added 19 points and nine assists for the Nets. C.J. Watson finished with 15 points and Joe Johnson had 14.
In the rest of the first Saturday night in the NBA:
Ray Allen had a four-point play with 6.7 seconds left that put Miami ahead for good, Chris Bosh scored 40 points and the Heat held off the Denver Nuggets 119-116. Allen finished with 23. LeBron James added 20 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds.
George Hill scored 18 points, including the first four in the second overtime, to lead Indiana past Sacramento 106-98 in double overtime.
Paul Pierce's 27 points, including a key 3 down the stretch, helped the Celtics beat the Wizards 89-86 for their first victory.
Rookie Damian Lillard scored 20 points, including eight in overtime, and the Portland Trail Blazers slowed down James Harden in a 95-85 win over Houston.
Greivis Vasquez (GREE'-vihs) scored 18 points and the New Orleans Hornets beat the Chicago Bulls 89-82 even though they were missing Anthony Davis, out with a mild concussion.
Tony Parker had 24 points and 10 assists to help the San Antonio beat Utah 110-100. Tim Duncan added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
O.J. Mayo scored 30 points and the Dallas Mavericks remained unbeaten against the Charlotte Bobcats with a 126-99 victory. Dallas is 16-0 all-time against Charlotte.
Brandon Jennings hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 105-102 victory over Cleveland.
NEW YORK (AP) -- NHL labor talks resumed after more than two weeks off and a whole lot of canceled games.
For the first time since Oct. 18, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and players' association special counsel Steve Fehr (feer) agreed to return to the bargaining table at a secret location. The two have been talking by phone during the week and found enough common ground to meet face-to-face.
Sunday is the 50th day of the lockout.
(AP) Al-time saves leader Mariano Rivera says he plans on pitching for the New York Yankees next year. The soon-to-be 43-year-old informed the Yankees this week that he will return from a knee injury that sidelined him for most of the 2012 season.
Rivera, who has 608 career saves, tore a ligament in his right knee in early May while shagging fly balls during batting practice.
Rafael Soriano earned 42 saves this year for the AL East champions while filling in for Rivera. He recently opted out of the final season of his three-year contract and will likely seek a long-term deal in free agency.
In other big league news:
Suspended pitcher Bartolo Colon (bar-TOH'-loh koh-LOHN') is getting a second chance with the Oakland Athletics, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract. The 39-year-old was suspended for 50 games on Aug. 22 after testing positive for testosterone. The ban will run five games into the 2013 season.
The Cleveland Indians have traded right-hander Esmil Rogers to the Toronto Blue Jays for infielders Mike Aviles (ah-VEE'-lihs) and Yan Gomes.

Lehman birdied the final hole for an 8-under 62 and a one-stroke lead over Fred Couples in the Champions Tour's season-ending event. Couples also shot a 62, making two eagles.
Two-way tie for lead after three rounds at HSBC Champions
SHENZHEN, China (AP) -- Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST'-hy-zehn) share the lead after three rounds of the HSBC Champions event in China. Westwood and Oosthuizen were at 18-under 198 with Phil Mickelson, after shooting a 66, three shots back.
South Korea's Lee takes lead at Mizuno Classic
SHIMA, Japan (AP) -- South Korea's Lee Bo-mee shot an 8-under 64 to take a four-stroke lead after two rounds of the Mizuno Classic. Lee had four birdies on the front nine and added four more after the turn to finish at 10-under 134.
Angela Stanford of the United States shot a 71 and is tied for third at 4-under.
Hamilton wins pole
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- McLaren's Lewis Hamilton secured pole position for the Abu Dhabi (AH'-boo DAH'-bee) Grand Prix, holding off the Red Bull duo of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel.

In the overall standings, Vettel stands in first, 13 points in front of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who qualified seventh.
Fort Larned wins on longshot-filled day
ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) -- Fort Larned (LAHR'-nehd), a 9-1 long shot, led all the way to win the $5 million Classic by a half-length to cap a weekend of upsets at the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita. Mucho Macho Man ran second.
Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. celebrated his 27th birthday with the biggest victory of his career. Game On Dude, the 7-5 favorite trained by Bob Baffert, started poorly and ran seventh in the field of 12.
Final is set
PARIS (AP) -- Jerzy Janowicz of Poland became the first qualifier in eight years to reach the Paris Masters final after beating Gilles Simon (zheel see-MOHN') of France 6-4, 7-5. He has now beaten five top-20 ranked players in the tournament and will meet fourth-seed David Ferrer (feh-REHR') in Sunday's finale. Ferrer beat Michael Llodra (loh-DRAH') of the host nation, 7-5, 6-3.
