New Final Fantasy Agito gameplay footage shows customisation and explorationWritten by: / / No Comments
Square Enix's free-to-play RPG Final Fantasy Agito is due out on iOS and Android devices later this month in Japan but already a number of gameplay videos have begun to hit the internet.
All Games Beta compiled all the latest clips into one video which you can view below. The videos show the initial character customisation process as well as limited exploration of the cadet military academy where you'll meet allies and accept quests.
Square Enix hasn't confirmed whether Final Fantasy Agito will ever be released in the West but last September a European trademark for the game was filed which suggests the publisher is at least considering releasing it outside of Japan.
Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of Final Fantasy Agito and be sure to let us know if you're keen to try out this free-to-play mobile game for yourself.

Some are fairly obvious. Specifically, I am referring to:
-h halt or power off after shutdown
-H halt after shutdown (implies -h)
-P power off after shutdown (implies -h)
Isn't halting or powering off kind of expected when you're shutting down? Aren't these redundant?
-c cancel a running shutdown
How on earth would you use this? In my experience, once a shutdown has begun, you don't get much opportunity to enter more commands until the machine is off.
-k only send warnings, don't shutdown
Why does
shutdown have an option that makes it not shut down?
What's the deal here? Does "shutdown" mean more than simply turning the machine off?

Crosby's traveling man has speed to burn
WATERBURY — Crosby High senior co-captain P.J. Bradshaw hasn't let any opportunities pass for one reason. Anything is possible if he puts his mind to it. Life is full of adjustments and reactions, just like on the football field or track, where he has excelled.
The 17-year-old Bradshaw has traveled throughout the country, being uprooted seven times throughout his childhood because his father, Peter Bradshaw, is in the U.S. Navy. He currently serves in the Naval Reserve.
Among the places P.J has lived are San Diego, where he was born; Hawaii, Virginia, California and twice in Waterbury, where his mother, Rica Hurdle, has family.
Throughout the lifestyle and climate changes, Bradshaw always found refuge in the classroom and in athletics.
"I've moved so often, it's been hard and difficult to make new friends because by the time I did, I'd end up leaving," he noted.
At 11, he finally settled in Waterbury and began playing Pop Warner football with the Waterbury Patriots.
Throughout his travels, Bradshaw has embraced education, thanks to his mom, who explained to her son the importance of a well-balanced lifestyle.
"The biggest impact my mom has made is that she always wanted me to do better than just average or level one classes," said Bradshaw, who will be taking advanced placement classes in psychology, English and human biology this fall. "I welcomed that opportunity with open arms.
"I know that I can't play sports forever and will need to keep myself in the books and in education because that will take me further than football or track might," said Bradshaw, who holds a 3.5 grade-point average and was a Republican-American Scholar-Athlete last fall and winter.
Still undecided on a college major, Bradshaw wants to be certain of a career path before he he arrives on a campus a year from now. He's thought about being a lawyer or physi-

cal therapist, but is open to any job where he can help people.
For now, Bradshaw is at ease, glad to be able call a city and school his home.
"I went to North End Middle School and really thought I'd go to Wilby for high school, but we moved again to the Crosby district the summer before my freshman year," explained Bradshaw. "I've enjoyed it here."
As a member of the Bulldogs' 8-2 freshman football team, Bradshaw played wide receiver. As a sophomore, he joined the junior varsity and played a variety of roles as a quarterback, running back and receiver.
Last year, he was strictly a receiver, utilizing his 4.6 speed. He caught two touchdowns, including a 29-yarder from Marcel Lugo in the Bulldogs' only win of the season, 41-21 over St. Paul in Week 2.
In track, Bradshaw's best outdoor events are the 100 meters (10.8 seconds, a personal best) and 200 meters (21.8, a personal best). He was unable to compete in the NVL championships or at spring football practice because of a leg injury. In the NVL indoor championships, his 55-meter dash was clocked at 6.96 seconds for fourth place, just behind Woodland's Anthony Scirpo (6.81).
Former Crosby head coach Jason Martinez said Bradshaw is a positive influence on everyone around him. Watertown football coach Mike Veornneau, a history teacher at Crosby, said it was a pleasure to have Bradshaw in his law and society class.
Crosby's second-year head coach, David Jurewicz, went a bit further about Bradshaw's impact.
"P.J. is an individual who is loved by his coaches and has proved to be a model student-athlete," said Jurewicz. "When I speak to P.J., I feel I am talking to someone who has already has his future in order and who will be a major contributor to society. Coaching a kid like P.J. is what makes this job worth every bit of time and energy that goes into it."
Bradshaw downplays his role.
"I just try to make myself better every day, as a student, athlete and person," said Bradshaw, a team co-captain with Nygel Gladney this season. "I look around every day and am proud that I have been able to handle all of the changes and take things in stride."

Lemon grass puts a yummy twist in this simple stir-fry meal.
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 15M
Serves: Serves 4
- 2-3 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (preferably free-range), about 7oz (200g) each, sliced into strips
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Asian sesame oil
- bunch of scallions (green onions), sliced on the diagonal
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 stalk fresh lemon grass, tough outer leaves removed, chopped
- 2 fresh red mild chile peppers, seeded and sliced
- 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
- handful of fresh basil leaves
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put the cornstarch in a bowl, and toss the chicken strips in it until very well coated.
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok over high heat. Swirl around the pan, then add the chicken and stir-fry quickly, moving the chicken around the pan for 3-5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon, and set aside to keep warm.
- Carefully wipe out the wok with paper towels, reduce the heat to medium-high, and add the remaining oil. When hot, add the scallions, garlic, lemon grass, and chiles. Stir-fry for a couple of minutes, then increase the heat to high once again, and add the rice wine. Let bubble for a few minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan to just heat through, stir in the basil, and serve at once with some fluffy rice.
- This is equally tasty made with shrimp instead of chicken.

Before Beckham Heads to China, a Warning
Soccer mega-star David Beckham's deal to become an international ambassador for the Chinese Soccer Super League is causing tension between the league and Nike, NKE 0.14 % one of its biggest sponsors.
Beckham plans to travel to China later this year to raise interest in the league and the game. But after learning about the Chinese league's deal with Beckham, a high-profile representative of Nike-rival adidas, Nike executives in China on February 25 warned them in writing to honor their exclusive footwear and apparel deal with the Oregon-based giant.
In the letter, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Nike stated it would require the CSL "and all stakeholders (including Beckham) to abide by" their agreement's rules for any CSL-related public occasions. No appearance of a Nike competing brand trademark or emblem. No derogation or defamation of Nike company, Nike brand or Nike products. No promotion or praise to Nike competing brand or product.
Beckham's schedule in China of meetings, photo-ops, and dinners won't likely offer many soccer-playing opportunities. But he will likely hold a few clinics with Chinese children, in which case, Beckham will undoubtedly be wearing his adidas.
Nike officials didn't return messages seeking comment. Sports conglomerate IMG, which has a joint venture and represents the business interests of China's soccer league, declined to comment.
A spokesman for Beckham said, "David has a long standing and successful relationship with adidas. As far as we're concerned there are no issues on our side and David is looking forward to promoting the game he is passionate about in China."
In other words, Beckham essentially wears what he wants to wear. Beckham has signed a series of long-term deals with adidas that have already netted him tens of millions. However, when he plays on a team sponsored by Nike, such as his current club, Paris Saint-Germain, he does don the kit with the ubiquitous swoosh.

A New-Look NHL Plan
The National Hockey League's players association gave its consent Thursday to the league's most recent realignment proposal. Under the plan, the number of divisions would be reduced to four from six. Detroit and Columbus would move from the Western Conference to the Eastern to cut down on their travel. Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHLPA, said in a statement that the union would re-evaluate the new format after the 2014-15 season.

The February 2009 issue of School Reform News reports on a Florida rally that attracted Gov. Charlie Crist and more than 600 local dignitaries, corporate donors, and parental choice supporters celebrating the continued success of the state's Step Up For Students scholarship program.
Other key stories in this issue include:
* More than 200 parents and their special-needs children showed up outside the Arizona Supreme Court in December as justices heard arguments as to the constitutionality of the Arizona Scholarships Program.
* Democratic Party groups supporting school choice are pressing President-elect Barack Obama for options such as charters and merit pay.
* An organization promoting education equality is organizing its second annual gathering in Harlem to rally families and politicians in support of charters and school choice.
* Public school figures in Massachusetts want to change the state's funding mechanism so regular public schools can keep more money when students leave for charters.
* A new Web site in Utah provides families with videos, news updates, school performance information, and suggestions on how parents can get involved in the education system.
* Reactions to President-elect Barack Obama's appointment of former Chicago Public Schools CEO Arne Duncan for U.S. Secretary of Education have been largely positive.

Photography is one of my hobbies but due to the costs associated with it, I do not have/own the best of gear.
I have a 6 MP Canon DSLR with an 18-55 II lens and a 75-300 III f4/5.6 lens. I also own a wired release button and non-high quality tripod.
For my full time job, I travel a lot through the rural country and often more than not I come across older bridges, homes, or buildings (100-300 year range). These houses usually have character and charm.
Given my equipment, how can I maximize my photo taking experience (composition, settings, my location from the building, sun, snow, etc)?
As a note, my budget for new gear is about $100

If there are three different alleles to a gene, is it possible that the first is dominant to the second, but recessive to the third?
Sure it is!
When we say that an allele is dominant on another what we really mean is that the phenotype obtained from that specific mutation of the gene somehow "masks" the phenotype of the other.
The easiest example would be that of pigment. A gene X could code for an enzyme which produces a red pigment. A mutation in X could result in a allelic variant x coding for a non-functional enzyme that does not produce pigment. In this case X will be dominant on x, as in the presence of both the pigment will still be produced (because you will have half functional and half non-functional enzyme molecules).
Things can, however be slightly complicated.
For instance, if the allele R codes gives a red pigment and r gives a white pigment Rr could give pink. This is called incomplete dominance.
On the other hand you could have co-dominance, where WW is white, ww is black and Ww is black and white.
The example you are asking for is called serial dominance and the "classical" example given is that of the rabbit coat color where you have for alleles with a dominance hierarchy like:
c+ > cch > ch > c
c+ gives a fully functional enzyme, called tyrosinase
In reality the rabbit coat genetics is even more complex, see this documents (PDF) for a more complete list of all the various loci and possible alleles involved.

I know it is possible to infer the mass of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) by many methods, i.e., stellar orbits for out Galaxy, Iron line profile from the accretion disk, and probably other methods (perhaps from the spectrum of the radiation disk itself, that can be related with the central mass, if supposed thermal in origin). What I don't know is: how can we infer the mass of SMBH in galaxies that are not active anymore?
I can think of two methods.
Both rely on the dynamics of material surrounding the SMBH, which is affected up to a distance of the order of the "sphere of influence". This is the region where the BH dominates the dynamics as compared to the enclosed mass of the galaxy. The sphere of influence is:
$$ R_{\mathrm{infl}} \equiv \frac{G M_{\mathrm{SMBH}}}{\sigma_{\mathrm{bulge}}^2} >> R_{\mathrm{horizon}} \approx R_{\mathrm{Schwartzschild}} \equiv \frac{G M_{\mathrm{SMBH}}}{c^2} $$
While typically $\sigma_{\mathrm{bulge}} \approx 250 km s^{-1}$, it is well known that $c \approx 300000 km s^{-1}$. This means that the influence of a BH can be felt much further away than its event horizon, which is where the accretion takes place. In fact the ratio between the two distances is about 1000000.
Exploiting this fact, astronomers have been using two methods to probe extragalactic*, quiescent SMBH:
See this work, for a comparison of the two methods.

Kardashian Clan to Launch K-Dash for QVC
Courtesy QVC
It's definitely getting difficult to keep up with the Kardashians! Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner are joining forces with QVC and designer Ginny Hilfiger for K-Dash by Kardashian, a new clothing and accessories line that includes everything from belts and handbags to leggings, tunics and faux fur-trimmed vests. With prices ranging from $20-$240, K-Dash by Kardashian is set to debut on QVC as part of Fashion's Night Out, live from New York's Rockefeller Center on Friday, September 10th 9PM EST, where the Kardashian clan will be on hand. And while the launch is still two weeks away, Kim and Kourtney have already tried their new creations out on the streets of Beverly Hills. Earlier this month, the stylish duo strolled the posh neighborhood with Kim rocking the faux fur trimmed sweater vest with gray knit leggings, only to change into the ponte red knit dress and faux leather motorcycle jacket, while new mom Kourtney opted for the leopard belted tunic and leather fringe cross-body bag. While all the Kardashians have been very involved in the creative process, the stylish family worked with Ginny Hilfiger, sister of Tommy Hilfiger, to articulate the styles as they envisioned them. So far, we love what we see! Be sure to tune in to QVC's Fashion's Night Out special on September 10, when the Kardashian's will join other designers like Bradley Bayou, Marc Bouwer, Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, who will be launching her MOD collection, and Isaac Mizrahi. Tell us: What do you think of the Kardashian's QVC collection? Will you buy it?—Andrea DeSimone

Ditto Cassius Marcellus Clay, no, not THAT Cassius Marcellus Clay, the one who was American Minister to Russia during the American Civil War. He had assignations going with a woman in the corps of the Bolshoi, eventually having a child with her. He also "adopted" her son by another man, and put him on the US payroll as secretary, even though he couldn't understand a word of English.

Only shortly before my time. Alexander Godunov, now him I remember. God only help the company Boris supported!
Yes, how right you are. I knew that "opera guy" would mix me up somehow. Should have remembered Sascha.
At that time, though, we were all concerned about the two "Shuras" Danilova, and MB's daughter just born.

Bernadette Chirac, the wife of former French president Jacques Chirac, is said to be very interested in ballet (and she was involved in the organization of some ballet festivals).
She supposedly invited the gold medal winner(s) of the 1994 Concourse to dinner afterwards. I do not know if she attended the entire Concourse or only congratulated the winners at the end. But yes, her interest in ballet seems to be longstanding.

Wow, thanks, Ray! I'll ask for "Trying It It in America" via inter-library loan tomorrow.
A less popularly known ballet-goer is Richard Poirier, co-founder of the Library of America and Raritan, and former editor at the Partisan Review. And he's actually written about his NYCB infatuation (he's a very good writer) in various places, such as a chapter called "Balanchine in America" in Trying It Out in America: Literary and Other Performances (2003), and I know he's written about Suzanne Farrell too. So he's "supported" ballet by writing about it in his own sphere, which is American literature.
Posted 25 February 2008 - 05:17 PM
And Bette Midler. One of the things I like about this collection is the way that Poirier -- who came of age along with the rise of the NYCB -- is not afraid to link the his attraction to the work of Balanchine and even Midler to more standard Americal Lit subject matter like Whitman and Henry James.

In the 1970's (I think) I used to see Kissinger at the ballet and around the same time I read an interview with Farrell in which she talked about meeting him and says something along the lines of...'he really knows something about ballet.'
I saw Steve Martin at a matinee Coppelia years ago and since he was once married to Baronova's daughter, I vaguely assumed he must have some real interest and/or knowledge of ballet. But I don't really know.
Posted 11 September 2009 - 02:14 PM
The relationship between ballet and celebrity -- whether its genuine admiration, mutual exploitation, artistic influence, or whatever -- woulld make quite an interesting story.
Bart, you mentioned Zelda Fitzgerald in your post. I hadn't realized she had loved dance so much....

Dan Rather used to come regularly when he was anchor in D.C. Joan Kennedy and family would often put in appearances -- John Kennedy Jr. also came when he was in town.
One FBI Director, whose name I forget (after J. Edgar), was also a regular attendee. I remember one performance when his administration was in disgrace for some reason or another, and no one would talk to him at intermissions. Brzezinski (sp) seemed to be a fan -- I remember seeing him often, once in a box with Beryl Grey, and they were obviously friends.
Ronald Reagan would attend his son's Joffrey performances. Both he and Bill Clinton (at separate times, obviously) were in the audience at Lisner Auditorium, and the Secret Service was obviously hating every minute -- not only the ballets, but the layout. It's a typical college auditorium, and even with guards stationed every 20 feet down both sides, heads pirouetting constantly, it was a very open space.
Elizabeth Taylor came to a few performances when she was appearing here in a play. AND Sandra J. O'Connor was an avid modern dance fan.

Maybe my best sighting was during the Romeo and Juliet this year. I all of a sudden heard a little commotion and turned towards the aisle and saw Allegra Kent walking down the aisle. People were randomly saying hi and she was smiling and blowing kisses to it seemed like everyone. She is as pretty as ever, and contrary to the image she presented of herself as a kind of bohemian who made her own purses from rags and stockings, she was very well-dressed and chic.

What will be your drink of choice tonight?
Sooo, what will you be bringing the New Year in with? Every year my sister-in-law makes a TON of Jello Shots so between those, some Don Julio Anejo and a glass of Don Julio 1942 for the ball drop (can't stand champagne) I am set!
Ready to get YOUR drink on? What is it?
27 Answers answer
Water. I don't drink alcohol unless it's wine during a special occasion (like dinner with visiting family).
Chilled apple cider!
Glenmorangie. For the Highlander in us all.
Champagne. Got a bottle of Tattinger rose in the fridge all ready for my quaffage!
Dark Hot chocolate with UV Whipped Cream vodka. YUM!
Black coffee and Diet Dr Pepper.
@trekmiss: Same, minus the coffee. Might do a can of sugar-free Rockstar instead.
Mammoth Epic IPA, White Russians and Champagne. Here's to a killer 2013!
Tonight: Beer; Wine; Champagne; etc.
Tomorrow: Pepto Bismol ;->
Jameson on the rocks and Pumpkinhead. A good night shall it be!
A 'good' cab. Am thinking of throwing the empty glass into the fireplace. The glass will not be crystal. Seems that's some kind of 'rite of passage.' Or something. My late husband did that one year. I laughed. Big. It was wonderfully funny. :-D
Also, very interesting since our fireplace is open on both sides. :-/ It was okay, since the other side was blocked w/a screen. He did have to clean up the glass, though. :-)
Water, with Ice,crushed not cubes
Murphy's Irish Stout as well as some corn whiskey someone gave me for my birthday last week.
Woot Cellars F-Bomb
Changed my mind. I'm feeling icky, so now it's just soup-in-a-cup and water. No sense in wasting good spirits on a cold.
Pepsi Max or Lime Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew. I'd mix them all, but my cat would have to help me walk it off.
HNY to all!
@goldenthorn: Extra points for "quaffage!"
Busch Light, like always. @gmwhit: May I throw a virtual empty can into your fireplace?
@jsimsace: Of course! Be my guest. No glass, no mess. ;-)
@gmwhit: Done! That was awesome! The look on your face was priceless! Feliz Año Nuevo!
Started off with some homemade raspberry beer a friend brought over. Not bad! Moved on to my favorite Reisling. Decided that I needed to stay awake past 8:00 and chances for that were getting slim, so I switched to "brown wine" (Diet Coke).
(Somebody has to stay awake to clean up after DH and his friends who are watching the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.)
@jsimsace: :-D Okay, the look on my face was because it was noisy. :-O Though, it wasn't too bad; it did startle me. Though, the loud fireworks are already starting here.
And a Feliz Año Nuevo to you, too! Have been watching my web cab in Spain. Sadly, they've paused it. Was hoping to see some kind of fireworks over the Mediterranean in Malaga.
Have a wonderful night and a beautiful, prosperous New Year, everyone!
A mix of Gin, Wine and Champagne
My GF and I are celebrating our 1 yr, so gin now, wine with dinner and champagne to celebrate!
Blood Orange on the rocks!

Coen Brothers Collection [Blu-ray] for $24.99
Blood Simple, Fargo, Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona
8 Comments add a comment
Miller's Crossing is one of the best movies ever made.
Worth it just for Raising Arizona.
@jph37: i agree. for those of you who haven't seen, sorry for the spoiler but I couldn't resist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5HVPKO9Aow
This doesn't include any of the recent (and superb) films, but this price for the ones that ARE included, is a steal.
If we had blu-ray capability, we'd be all over it.
WTF no O Brother Where Art Thou?
I'm not getting a barton fink feeling about this deal.
Blood Simple still rocks. M. Emmett Walsh was hilarious.

The things that come out of my son's mouth truly amaze me! Here are a few of his golden gems-As I am working with my son on counting I ask him what comes after three. He replies "Time Out!"
-"Mommie please turn off the sun. It is too hot."
-"God is great and very waterfall" (as he is working on his memory verse)
-"Mommie let's go outside and play in the snow" (As it is over 100 degrees out)
-"Mommie my eyes hurt. They need to watch TV"
-As I hand Hunter toast with jelly "Yeah Jelly fish!"
-A coworker asks Hunter if he is going to be an architect. Hunter replies. "Nope I am going to be a pooper!"
-When I was pregnant with Lorelei at the Ob/Gyn office there was a breast examination poster. Hunter excitedly exclaims, " Look Mommie! BOOBS!" (The doctor walked in the room cracking up.) I think this one tops the elephant tail comment. lol
-"I am too scared of Hunter" Says Hunter
A little mommie humor is good for the soul! What are some things your rugrats have said?

Undergrad here; I honestly have no idea what to do. I can't even imagine what a 5-regular graph with diameter 2 would look like, let alone a planar one.
No such simple graph can exist, the smallest 5-regular planar graph is the icosahedron and it has diameter 3 (the distance between the green and yellow vertex is 3). I proved that there are actually only two simple planar 5-regular graphs with diameter less than 4 in my paper in Ars Combinatoria (Volume CVI, July, 2012). See my webpage about extremal regular planar graphs for other examples of different degrees and diameters.
We have $5n=2m$ since it is 5-regular and every face must be of size 3 or more if there are no multiple edges, so $2m\geq 3f$. Putting these together with Euler's formula we get $$ \frac{2m}{3} \geq f = 2 + m - n = 2 + m - \frac{2m}{5} $$ Simplifying we see that $m \geq 30$ and so $n\geq 12$.
If you are allowing loops (not just multiple edges) then the best possible is 10 vertices, achieved by adding loops to the vertices of valency 3 in this graph:
Any graph with more vertices would lead (upon removal of multiple edges or loops) to a simple planar graph of maximum degree at most 5 with diameter 2 but the largest such graph is proven by Yang, Yuansheng, Lin, Jianhua, Dai, Yongjie (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 144 (2002) 349-358) to have 10 vertices, such as the example above.
Let's go through and decipher what each of these statements mean.
Planar: embeddable in the plane without self-intersections. By Kuratowski and Wagner, this is equivalent to a graph not having $K_5$ or $K_{3,3}$ as a minor.
5-regular: every node has exactly 5 edges.
Diameter 2: the maximum length of path between any two nodes is 2 (note that it must be achieved- ie there must be two vertices at least two edges apart).
Let's go through and attack this naively. If we need the maximum length of path between any two nodes to be 2, then we need at least 3 nodes. Can we do it with 3 nodes? No, because then we would have 15 as the total degree of the graph, which contradicts the handshaking lemma.
Ok, let's try 4. Since every vertex has to be 2 away from each other vertex, this means we'll need to start with a square. Now, each vertex needs 3 other edges, and we have to add them in a way which keeps the graph planar: connect 3 edges from the top left to the bottom left, and 3 edges from the top right to the bottom right. So this gives us a planar, 5-regular graph of diameter 2.
But now we should check that such a graph cannot be made with more than four nodes.
Thus, there is an example of 4 nodes in a planar, 5-regular, diameter 2 graph.
As a nonplanar example*, there's K8, but without the "perimeter" edges.
*Thanks to KReiser for pointing out my mistake.

Winsted: Townspeople came together for shelter residents
I would like to thank everyone who donated for the Thanksgiving dinner at the YMCA for shelter residents and others. The outpouring of support was amazing. We have a very diverse community that sometimes seems to be more at odds than working together to make good things happen.
I was truly overwhelmed by all the sincere support to make sure that day went as spectacularly as possible. I want to send out my gratitude to all the town employees who so generously donated: Chris Royer and the anonymous donor from Sandisfield, for all the baking they did to make sure we had a wonderful assortment of desserts; and Ruth and Craig Sanden, for the turkey's they donated.

BETHANY - If he had to make the decision today, Rep. David McKinley said he would vote against authorizing a military strike against Syria.
During a town hall meeting in Bethany Tuesday evening, McKinley, R-Wheeling, said he needs to see a "smoking gun" that proves Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons to kill hundreds of his own people before he would consider voting to risk American lives by intervening in that nation's bloody civil war.
Despite President Barack Obama's warnings to the Assad regime that use of chemical weapons would result in dire consequences, McKinley said the Constitution charges the government with protecting the United States against attack. While he acknowledged his stance is "still emerging," he doubts the situation rises to that level.
"I want to know what the facts are. ... I don't feel threatened yet," McKinley said. "Maybe I should."
More than 100,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict to date, "and we did nothing," McKinley said. He believes military intervention could set a dangerous precedent, and he cautioned the country needs to learn from recent experiences.
"These are not easy decisions. ... What happens if the president broadens the conflict after we're there? It happened in Libya," McKinley said.
About 50 people attended Tuesday's town hall meeting at Bethany Memorial Church, roughly half of them town residents and half Bethany College students, with Bethany Mayor Jay Eisenhauer reading questions submitted by the crowd.
Topics ranged from spending and health care to immigration reform, the Postal Service and energy policy. Even McKinley's membership in the Beta Theta Pi fraternity - which has a chapter at Bethany - while a student at Purdue came up.
Of particular concern to many in attendance was the president's health care reform law, and McKinley heard from those on both sides of the issue.
One man said he hasn't had health coverage in years, and he's looking forward to life under the health care law. But others worry that the Independent Payment Advisory Board created by the law - an appointed, 15-member panel tasked with controlling Medicare spending - will limit their access to needed care in order to save money.
"Us old people are going to be done for," one woman said.
Now that the Obama administration has said it will delay implementing key components of the health care law until 2015, McKinley said he hopes Congress will be able to use the additional time to "clean up" the law and come up with a workable alternative.
"It's a noble idea," McKinley said of the concept of access to health care for all. "But let's make sure when we implement it, it's right. ... We don't want to go back to the old way of health insurance."
Although the Syria issue is at the forefront today, McKinley said key issues in Congress this fall will include trying to pass a budget and deciding whether to raise the nation's debt limit once again. He said he will fight for further spending cuts as the U.S. national debt approaches $17 trillion.
Senate Majority Leader "Harry Reid is continuing to say we're going to go back to the same level of spending we had before. No, we're not. We're going to stay with the spending reductions that we've had, and we've achieved. ... We borrow 43 cents out of every dollar we spend, and that's why we've got to get this under control," McKinley said.

6 Movies That Accidentally Recreate Real Mental Illnesses
If you're like us, you've probably watched a lot of movies and wished that your life would turn out exactly like the lives of your favorite onscreen characters. Sadly, most of us will never end up like our heroes, Batman and Spider-Man and Al Pacino in Cruising. But the good news is that your life can become just like your favorite films as early as tomorrow. As we've shown you before, all it takes is a debilitating mental illness.
#6. The Truman Show Delusion: The Truman Show
The Movie
In The Truman Show, Jim Carrey plays Truman Burbank, an average guy leading an average life ("average" here meaning "living with a wife he hates, a crippling phobia of water and enough traumatic memories to streak the surface of Ed Harris' forehead with failure tears").
Eventually, Truman discovers that his entire life is secretly a reality show being broadcast around the world. Cafe waitresses, security guards and a creepy guy in a bathtub are all watching Truman's existence play out without his knowledge.
"Every time Truman masturbated, I was watching. And masturbating."
The Delusion
Sibling doctors Joel and Ian Gold (probable tagline: Brothers in Medicine) met with several patients who had the strange delusion that people gave enough of a shit about their lives to turn them into secret TV shows (although in their defense, the paradoxical first rule of reality television is that people will inexplicably begin to give every available shit about your life the instant it is documented on a television show). The brothers Gold creatively named the illness the Truman Show delusion, because they really wanted to make it home in time for Two and a Half Men.
"They're rerunning the ones with Charlie Sheen!"
One patient told the Gold doctors that he was convinced that everyone he knew was really an actor (which probably included the doctors themselves, making us wonder why the hell he bothered). Another man believed that 9/11 had been a scripted part of his own private reality show, and he traveled to New York City just to make sure it had actually happened (we can only imagine that his pursuit of the truth led to several awkward conversations and one or two merciless trashcan beatings). And more recently, an Illinois man actually sued HBO for allegedly filming his life in secret, apparently confusing his own deranged self with one of the hairspray-soaked bog mutants on Sex and the City.
#5. Clinical Lycanthropy: Werewolf Movies
The Movie
Lycanthropes, or werewolves, are a staple of horror movies (and recently, for some odd reason, teenage melodramas). The specific details vary, but the basic plot of every werewolf movie involves a person undergoing a painfully gruesome transformation into a giant and/or vaguely humanoid wolf creature, either by the light of a full moon or whenever they goddamned feel like it. Once the transformation is complete, the werewolf will then supermurder everything in the immediate vicinity, rape a bunch of people to death or play air guitar and be really good at basketball.
These activities are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
The Delusion
Clinical lycanthropy is an extremely rare disorder in which people believe that they are slowly turning into an animal. Multiple patients have been studied, with some experiencing the delusion for up to 13 years. However, you might be disappointed to learn that most cases have absolutely nothing to do with wolves, because mental illness is rarely awesome.
Don't think you can use the moon as an excuse for a crime spree, though. Trust us on this one.
In one case, a woman believed that she had turned into four different animals over a short period of time, apparently modeling her mental illness after Animorphs. And one woman, after attempting to have sex with her husband, began barking madly like a dog and was eventually institutionalized, although her husband probably still tried to complete the sex act for several minutes before calling anyone.
#4. Reverse Intermetamorphosis: Freaky Friday
The Movie
Body-switching movie Freaky Friday (not to be confused with body-switching movie Like Father Like Son, or the Bangles' super-hit "Manic Monday") is about a girl who switches bodies with her mother after a Chinese lady curses them with some kind of Satanic blood magic.
Ironically, Lindsay Lohan later switched bodies with Tara Reid and no one seemed to notice.
In the process of living each other's lives, they learn valuable lessons about patience, respect and understanding, and develop an unwavering hatred of Asians. Having shared this powerful epiphany, the mother and daughter are returned to their own bodies.
It's a body-switching movie.
The Delusion
A woman known only as RZ was just a normal woman living a normal life, until one day [RECORD SCRATCH], she woke up as her father. Undoubtedly, RZ was about to find herself hip-deep in wackiness and heartwarming lessons about family.
Or, because this was real life, she found herself hip-deep in a psych ward, being interviewed by doctors eager to cure her mental illness, which was diagnosed as reverse intermetamorphosis. Basically, this is when a person thinks that she has either physically or mentally (or both) become another person. RZ thought that she was her 60-something-year-old father, Doug, and answered questions about her life as if she were him.
"Oh yeah, standing's the only way to pee."
RZ couldn't even keep her identity straight -- soon she started thinking that she was her grandfather, but eventually reverted back to her father again (the one constant in her mind was, apparently, "wispy gray scrotum").
In a different case, a male patient told his psychological evaluators that he was a female prostitute who was having labor pains and on the verge of giving birth. Freaky Friday would have been way more gritty and interesting if Lindsay Lohan had become her prostitute mother and given birth to her own bastard half-sibling. Disney should make that movie immediately.

Baseball Opens 2014 Slate at Home against UNC PembrokeJanuary 31, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – With February beginning on Saturday, so does the start of the 2014 baseball season as Anderson University looks to open the season on a high note when it welcomes Peach Belt Conference foe UNC Pembroke to Anderson Memorial Stadium for a weekend series beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The Trojans
AU seeks a bounce back season after closing the 2013 campaign with a disappointing 17-33 record and tying for eighth in the final South Atlantic Conference standings. As the Trojans come off the down year, the coaches in the SAC projected Anderson to finish 10th in the league this season as Catawba, last season's regular season SAC champion, was projected to claim the conference again this season.
Despite right-handed closer Landon Beck being the lone Trojan named to the preseason All-SAC teams, Anderson is excited about the potential of its offense, headlined by sophomore first-baseman Steven Cooper, who led the team last year in average (.309) and ranked second in total bases (75). AU will also seek leadership from its all-senior outfield, as Josh Hickman, Paul Como and Nathan Galliford return to the lineup. In 2013, Hickman led the team in hits (56) and stolen bases (7), while Como was second on the squad with a .461 slugging percentage and ranked first in doubles (12). Galliford tied for the team-high in home runs (5) and led the team in runs, tallying 33.
Four experienced starters look to make a major impact for the 2014 season, as senior Thomas Goodman, juniors Spencer Earle and JT Trujillo and sophomore David Thompson will see time as weekend starters. The quartet looks to erase a 2013 season where they combined for eight wins.
The Braves
Last Friday, UNC Pembroke was slotted fifth in the annual Preseason PBC Coaches Poll, earning 91 points, 29 points behind conference favorite, USC Aiken. The Braves are coming off a 38-16 record a year ago, its ninth-straight season with 30 or more victories, where they were ranked as high as 10th in the country. This season, they enter the year ranked No. 16 nationally in the CollegeBaseballLineup.com Top 30.
Eight players, including senior infielders Daniel Fraga and Brett Huffman, return to one of the country's most productive offensives that ranked in the top 25 in nine different categories, including ranking second in hits (667). Fraga and Huffman ranked third and fourth, respectively, on the team in hits, as Fraga totaled 74 and Huffman posted 73. Joining the duo in the lineup is junior third-baseman Jordan Edgerton who was named to the PBC all-conference team. Edgerton led the country in hits (94) a season ago to go along with a .592 slugging percentage and 28 extra base hits.
UNCP also returns nine pitchers to its staff, headlined by sophomore right-hander Logan Cook who tallied a 6-1 record with a 4.79 ERA a season ago. The Braves will look to fill a huge gap left by then-senior Ethan Carter who notched a 9-1 record and a 1.36 ERA in 10 starts in 2013.
The Series
Anderson and UNC Pembroke will kickoff its respective series schedule for the seventh straight season with the Braves capturing every series since 2008.

This question arose when I was reading a book on topology. In fact, it is a book on locally compact groups, hence only briefly discusses the topic. And the question is that, while in the proposition of the theorem, it is stated that when a map $\phi$ maps a topological space $X$ to another $Y$, and when $X$ is Hausdorff, $Y$ is compact and the graph of $\phi$ is closed, then $\phi$ is continuous, is it reallly necessary to include the condition that $X$ is Hausdorff? Since I see no reason, and I appear to have a proof without using the condition, I would like to know the answer.
A proof:
For any closed subspace C of $Y$, the pre-image D ought to be closed. For any element $a$ in the complement of D, we can use the compactness to show that there is a finite number of open sets in $Y$ such that the union of them covers the C, and then the corresponding open sets in $X$ is an open neighborhood of $a$ which has an empty intersection with D; so D is closed.
P.S. in the proof, those open sets are obtained by the condition that the graph is closed and that (a,c) is not in the graph for any c in C.

The Vine - September 2011 - 09-25-2011, 03:55 PM
The summer is over and it's time for another edition of the Vine, bringing news, gifts, horoscopes, awards, and delicious cake*!
What's New?
As the main organizer of the Miss TDP pageant, Kitty, has gone AWOL, the competition had to be put on hiatus. It will continue as planned as soon as she returns.
You might also have noticed that all our new moderators have been raised to super mod status. The limitations of the forum system have prevented assigning subforums to the new mods; as such, they had to be promoted a step further in order to actually get any moderator powers. With this change, the moderation of the forums should become a lot more efficient.

Doll of the Month
Best handdrawn: My Little Pony by spirit_queen - This month's handdrawn award goes to queenie for this charming rendition of the main characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The shading is top-notch and maintains a distinctive cartoony style, and the characters are creatively represented and should be easily recognisable to anyone with a passing familiarity with the show. Congratulations!

Welcome the chance to learn about getting even. Think up your best, most well thought out and gruesome revenge and visit it on that girl who made fun of you in high school. By the way, all those people at the park wearing shades and earbuds are actually CIA agents watching you. Try not to act suspiciously around them. Your so-called friends will be disappointed with your glazed ham. You will respond by shutting yourself in your room, putting on a tinfoil hat and listening to depressing music turned up full blast. Warning: Beware of oddly shaped clouds.
Sometimes doing things for the sake of others is a good thing. You're always putting things off. That's why you'll never make anything of yourself. You are as wet as a haddock's bathing costume, and you smell like one, too. You are so gullible that you believe that people love you, despite the fact that the reverse is true and people are in fact plotting your doom. Cigarette lighters will bring you good luck, but only ones coloured orange. Indeed, you are distinguished for what you know, but everything you know is wrong. You are unaware of most things, including the fact that you are ugly and have a weird shaped head.
You will be accused of being an alcoholic sometime in the next month. This is not true, but only cuz you don't attend meetings. What you are in fact, is a drunk and your pockets smell of vinegar. Your much vaunted creativity and enthusiasm will be wasted in a series of uninspiring dead-end jobs. You have exactly two days, six hours, and thirty nine minutes until a life changing event happens in your life. You have OCD and will waste several hours of your life arranging your makeup in alphabetical order. You are boring to be with and people have been known to gnaw their own legs off just to escape your company. Pro-tip: Eat more cheese.
After getting hit by a comet and surviving as a vegetable, you will develop amnesia and will inevitably end up sleeping with your most recent ex. This will result in you and your ex's new love having an undignified catfight in the street while passing strangers make bets on the eventual winner. You will be that winner, but only cuz you fight dirty. You can prevent a horrible event happening in the world if you immediately take steps to prevent it by doing the following; singing "My Way" at a sporting event and wearing your underwear inside out. In two weeks time, you will develop an allergy to golden syrup.
You are inclined to expect too much for too little. This means you are cheap. You will find out tomorrow that all your best clothes are inexplicably covered in English mustard. Bees will attack you in Panzer formation tomorrow, so avoid going outside. You will eventually develop a secondary personality that hates you, and you will have a crying fit when you realise that people actually prefer them to you. You dress like a prostitute and wear horrible cheap perfume, which will eventually burn holes in all your clothes that do not already have mustard all over. Tip: Take up boxing.
There is nothing about you that I can say that hasn't been already said countless times by everyone you know. If you could afford it, you would cover your entire house in mirrors and gaze at yourself all day. You are selfish, arrogant and like to kick babies. There is a very good chance in the future that you will end up becoming a serial killer. You yearn for the nuclear destruction of the planet due to the knowledge that, just like the co'ckroaches, you will survive intact when everyone else either dies or becomes horribly mutated. When this happens, your vanity will reach supersonic levels and blast into the stratosphere. Warning: Avoid wearing the colour blue.
You are sensitive because you cry a lot and creative when you lie a lot. You are not only dull yourself, but you're the cause of dullness in others. You are only just smarter than a donkey, and then only cuz you are able to speak rather than just bray. Your family is inbred and you lack confidence and are generally a coward. People find you fascinating because you're so ugly; they stare at you in fascination. Cancers love to have you as a friend; your lack of any charm at all makes them feel so much better. All colours are unlucky for you today, so you should perhaps walk around with your eyes closed all day.
Do not, under any circumstances, tell your best friend about your alien experience or the aliens will return and remove the remaining portions of your brain. Do NOT, under any conditions, use the remaining toothpaste in your medicine cabinet. You know what happened last time. Your neighbours are plotting to kill you and take your meagre possessions. Sleep with one eye open, thats all Im saying. The bushes are out to get you. Other than that a full month of love awaits you with romantic evenings watching paint dry and creaky floorboards made for two. Pro-tip: Natural fibres are very bad for you this month, so wear nylon from head to toe.
People think you are stupid. Warning: You must avoid talking to anyone named Clare for the next twenty days. While taking a shower tomorrow, all of your clothes and window blinds will be mysteriously stolen. A bunch of kids will daub swastikas on your front door, but you will like them so much that you will refuse to wash them off. You dislike honest criticism. A trying month ahead for you which should please you no end. There is a small hole in the bottom of your head. Your brains are starting to leak out and you are losing your mind quickly. You will burn your dinner every single day this week but Thursday.
No backstabber, you. You're such a good friend, that you only stab friends in the front. You are left with a lump in your stomach after a steak dinner. Your strange attraction to anime will fail to score you a mate. You are currently just dreaming. Time keeping has never been your strong point has it? You consider yourself to be a good friend. Others think you are a lunatic. Your great great aunt is out to get you. Your breath stinks. Stay away from an Irish woman named Mary. You smell of rotten meat, and dogs will follow you around for days til it occurs to you why.
Whenever you sit on a park bench, strangers give you money cuz they assume that you are a tramp. Your feet are a strange shape and you fear that they are turning into hooves. Potato pancakes will bring you luck, but only if they are homemade. You're feeling stressed out; that's a given. You don't do much of anything and are lazy. On Friday, you will be struck with William Shatner-itis and will from then on speak only in sentence fragments. Wednesday before you get up, your car will be hit by a giant blob of motor oil that will suddenly fall out of the sky. Jehovah's Witnesses will knock on your front door over seventy six times this week. Tip: Drink more tea.
You become consumed with the categorical imperative to eat the brains of the innocent, which oddly enough is a moral action that can be universalized. Your perfect job is that of a goat psychiatrist. Marrows will be bad luck for you, as will cottage cheese. Apparently you are unemotional, detached and yet humanitarian. How does that work? Everyone around you hates you. You are inclined to expect too much for too little. On Tuesday, you will be attacked by four stray cats and scratched several times and bitten once. You will then have to go to the hospital to receive a rabies injection in your bottom. On your marks, get set, go away!

I've seen the term used in many online games. What does it mean? Also, is higher or lower ping better?
Ping is the amount of milliseconds it takes a packet of information to reach the server from you and back. Basically it's a measurement of connection speed, and it influences lag quite a lot.
According to pingtest.net:
Ping is the measure of latency (lag) from your computer to the server and back to your computer. A ping is sent to a server (which contains a packet of information 32 bits long, those are a combination of 32 0's and 1's) and then the server sends that back.
The time taken for the information to get from your computer, to the server and back to your computer is the amount of latency that you have. Lower ping is better than higher ping because it means that you will send information and receive the server's response back quicker. If you have a high ping (>500ms) it means that it is taking over half a second to get to the server and back. This means you will notice that there are jitters and jumps and a term called "rubber banding" during online gameplay.
A high ping (or latency) can therefore influence the outcome of an online game.
It's worth noting that there are many things that can influence your ping and that is:
Some other things to consider when looking at ping:
Ping is a measure of how is your connection to the server (in a multiplayer online game).
Obviously a low value is better and you should prefer that server, a high ping may even get you kicked (it wouldn't be possible to play anyway as you'd see things that already happened for everybody else, making it hard to, for example, hit an enemy that's no longer where you see him).
Ping represents "latency" between your PC and the server; i.e. how many milliseconds will pass between you clicking the mouse (or something), the server receiving the instruction, and your PC then receiving the result.
A lower ping is generally more desirable, but note that a higher ping is only really an issue for time-critical instructions, such as for fast-twitch FPS-type games. The maximum practical ping in this case is around 300ms (or about a third of a second). Any higher, and you will appear to "stutter" to the other players (and you will see them doing the same thing). Many FPS game servers are set to disconnect high-ping players automatically.
Short answer is: Time that i takes to send event to server and get response, the lower the better.
A bit longer answer is: The other term is also latency - connection speed has two parts badnwidth (amount of data you can transfer within given period of time) and latency (time for given amount of data to travel). Ping is latency of small amount of data. Unit of latency is time - specificly milliseconds.
In fact latency is corret term for what ping is now used. Ping is small program on all platforms (Win/linux/mac) that lets you messure latency over TCP/IP network. It uses specificly ICMP protocol, and is originaly used to test connection. It sends small amount of data and waits for response. result of pingis the time that was taken to send and receive data.
Your game doesn't use ping [program], it messures latency in it's way. (for example it sends your movement and waits for response) - you need to have latency less than 120ms to be able to play FPS. The lower the better. In game the lower latency/ping the faster the response is.
In comparsion if you are downloading a large chunk of data, you don't care for the latency, you only care for bandwidth.
The term ping comes from echolocation - if you have ever seen a movie wth submarines yoou should know how echolocation works - you make low sound like 'ping' and listen for echo of it.
Ping calculates the round-trip time of the data packet's route from its source to the destination and back, and determines whether any packets were lost during the trip. Lower ping time is better.
If you have a high ping time, your interenet speed is low. So you can't play any game on the internet. You can check whether your ping is high or not using Who is XY.com. I hope it will be helpful for you.

How do you reduce the sound transmission through a floor? Using "green glue" between a couple layers of plywood subfloor seems to work well. Are there any other tricks or suggestions?
Recording studios have to solve this problem all the time. You may find good information by hunting under that aegis.
One thing to take note is that transmission of high frequency and low frequency have very different solutions. High frequency it's mostly a matter of stopping the air motion; since you're taking about floors, you want to damp out low freq:
Hope this works out!
Here's what we've done so far. I'm curious whether there may be better techniques...
Actually we haven't installed the hardwood floor yet but we tried walking around on the subfloor and talking in fairly loud voices and neither could be heard in the floor below. Adding another layer of wood should only help.
One option that we skipped is to use joist isolators which are pads that go between the joists and the subfloor.
I've been told that there are three principles at play when trying to reduce sound transmission:
The first two are pretty clear. One example of the third is if the ceiling below is dropped and does not use the joists above for support. Instead the ceiling uses only the walls on either side, and ideally the wall studs aren't connected to the joists either.
Insulate between the floor joists.
Carpet + underlay works well.
If you are laying laminate flooring then using a laminate underlay is a good idea too.
I see several specialized products to mitigate sound transmission mentioned on HGTV almost daily.
One of them is always used above basement apartments by the contractor on the show Income Property. It connects to the joists and isolates the drywall below so it's only connected to them through a few screws. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what it's called, but Kinetics IsoMax looks like it may be the product they use. If not, it's similar.
The other product I saw mentioned yesterday on an episode of Holmes on Homes is called QuietRock. It's drywall product that blocks sound transmission as much as 8 layers of standard drywall.
I have seen sheetrock that is advertised as "sound-damping". Using this as the ceiling downstairs may help. Not sure how good the claim is - it was vendor advertising.

LOMETA (september 17, 2012)-A Lometa High School football coach who was arrested in August on warrants charging improper relationship with a student is no longer employed by the district.
The school board held a meeting Monday night and talked about personnel issues in the athletic department regarding staffing.
Following the meeting the board released a statement that said, "Tonight the Lometa Independent School District accepted the resignation of Mr. Wendell Bradley. The community is grieving over this matter, but we are moving forward."
Henderson County sheriff's deputies arrested Bradley late last month in Henderson County after a Lampasas County judge issued warrants for charging two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student and one count of online solicitation of a minor.
Bradley was taken to the Henderson County Jail in Athens and was later freed on $30,000 bond.
Lometa ISD officials confirmed on August 31 that Bradley was placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.
Lometa ISD Superintendent David Rice said the school has been working with the Lampasas County Sheriff's Office on the investigation.
"It's always a concern when you lose your head football coach but Aaron Nuckles has moved in as the interim coach as we continue our own investigation into what happened," Rice said.
