Small Ship Cruise in Alaska
Our small ship cruise visits the hidden gems big ships never see. Explore millions of acres of Alaska's pristine coastal wilderness by zodiac, kayak and on foot. See whales, grizzlies, eagles, otters, salmon, ancient forests, calving glaciers and more!
We first drive to the iceberg-studded lake and enormous ice field at Mendenhall Glacier. Visit the State Museum with an emphasis on Alaska's native peoples and natural history. Board ship in the late afternoon and enjoy musical entertainment and a slide presentation. The next morning we enter Tracy Arm, a fjord with waterfalls cascading from high, glacially carved walls. Passing blue Sawyer Glacier, delight in the harbor seals, porpoises, terns and gulls. Zodiac trips take us closer to the cracks and booms of falling ice. Paddle kayaks from a beach or take a peaceful walk through the woods, admiring the wildflowers and ripe berries.
Kayak in search of humpback whales, hike forest trails or take a "flightseeing" trip over nearby Le Conte Glacier. Head to the town of Petersburg with its small harbor bustling with fishing activity and boats of all kinds. Frederick Sound is a prime area for killer, orca and humpback whales and fertile ground for the majestic bald eagle. Options include a kayak trip to spot sea lions or a naturalist-led hike along a quiet forest trail.
Hike and kayak among the Inian Islands with a watchful eye out for Stellar sea lions and sea otters. Spend the day amidst the coves, fjords, tidewater glaciers, freshwater lakes and majestic mountains of Glacier Bay. See "calving" glaciers that end abruptly at water's edge. Mountain goats scale the peaks and harbor seals and Steller's sea lions inhabit the icy waters. Spot both the tufted and horned puffin. A visit to Tidal Inlet may bring the sight of brown bears lumbering up a hillside.
Possibilities today include tide pooling and beachcombing, hiking, and kayaking. This area is home to the highest density of nesting bald eagles in the world. Disembark in Sitka, with its heritage apparent as we visit St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Church with its onion domes. Gaze up at the grand totem poles of Sitka National Historic Park and see bald eagles, hawks, falcons and owls at the Raptor Rehabilitation Center.
The M.V. Sea Bird and M.V. Sea Lion accommodate just 62 guests. Each features a library, lounge with full-service bar and facilities for films, slide shows and lectures, observation deck and partially covered sun deck. An Internet kiosk, ship doctor and spa services are available.
Keep up to date with all of The World Outdoors trips, events and news. All you need to do is provide us with a little information. We promise not to provide your information to anybody else.
Please let us know a little about yourself to get your copy of our latest itinerary.

30 CFR 784.19 - Disposal of excess spoil.
(a) If you, the permit applicant, propose to generate excess spoil as part of your operation, you must include the following items in your application—
(1) Demonstration of minimization of excess spoil. A demonstration, prepared to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority, that the operation has been designed to minimize, to the extent possible, the volume of excess spoil that the operation will generate, thus ensuring that spoil is returned to the mined-out area to the extent possible, taking into consideration applicable regulations concerning restoration of the approximate original contour, safety, stability, and environmental protection and the needs of the proposed postmining land use.
(2) Capacity demonstration. A demonstration, prepared to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority, that the designed maximum cumulative volume of all proposed excess spoil fills within the permit area is no larger than the capacity needed to accommodate the anticipated cumulative volume of excess spoil that the operation will generate, as approved by the regulatory authority under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(3) Discussion of how you will address impacts to perennial and intermittent streams and related environmental values. You must design the operation to avoid placement of excess spoil in or within 100 feet of a perennial or intermittent stream to the extent possible. If avoidance is not possible, you must—
(i) Explain, to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority, why an alternative that does not involve placement of excess spoil in or within 100 feet of a perennial or intermittent stream is not reasonably possible.
(ii) Identify a reasonable range of alternatives that vary with respect to the number, size, location, and configuration of proposed fills. This provision does not require identification of all potential alternatives. You need identify only those reasonably possible alternatives that are likely to differ significantly in terms of impacts on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values. An alternative is reasonably possible if it meets all the following criteria:
(A) The alternative conforms to the safety, engineering, design, and construction requirements of the regulatory program;
(B) The alternative is capable of being done after consideration of cost, logistics, and available technology. The fact that one alternative may cost somewhat more than a different alternative does not necessarily warrant exclusion of the more costly alternative from consideration. However, an alternative generally may be considered unreasonable if its cost is substantially greater than the costs normally associated with this type of project.
(C) The alternative is consistent with the coal recovery provisions of § 817.59 of this chapter.
(iii) Analyze the impacts of the alternatives identified in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values. The analysis must consider impacts on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
(A) For every alternative that proposes placement of excess spoil in a perennial or intermittent stream, the analysis must include an evaluation of impacts on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the stream downstream of the proposed fill, including seasonal variations in temperature and volume, changes in stream turbidity or sedimentation, the degree to which the excess spoil may introduce or increase contaminants, and the effects on aquatic organisms and the wildlife that is dependent upon the stream.
(B) If you have prepared an analysis of alternatives for the proposed fill under 40 CFR 230.10 to meet Clean Water Act requirements, you may initially submit a copy of that analysis with your application in lieu of the analysis required by paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(A) of this section. The regulatory authority will determine the extent to which that analysis satisfies the analytical requirements of paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(A) of this section.
(iv) Select the alternative with the least overall adverse impact on fish, wildlife, and related environmental values, including adverse impacts on water quality and aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
(4) Location. Maps and cross-section drawings showing the location of all proposed disposal sites and structures. You must locate fills on the most moderately sloping and naturally stable areas available, unless the regulatory authority approves a different location based upon the alternatives analysis under paragraph (a)(3) of this section or on other requirements of the Act and this chapter. Whenever possible, you must place fills upon or above a natural terrace, bench, or berm if that location would provide additional stability and prevent mass movement.
(5) Design plans. Detailed design plans for each structure, prepared in accordance with the requirements of this section and §§ 817.71 through 817.74 of this chapter. You must design the fill and appurtenant structures using current prudent engineering practices and any additional design criteria established by the regulatory authority.
(6) Geotechnical investigation. The results of a geotechnical investigation of each proposed disposal site, with the exception of those sites at which spoil will be placed only on a pre-existing bench under § 817.74 of this chapter. You must conduct sufficient foundation investigations, as well as any necessary laboratory testing of foundation material, to determine the design requirements for foundation stability for each site. The analyses of foundation conditions must take into consideration the effect of underground mine workings, if any, upon the stability of the fill and appurtenant structures. The information submitted must include—
(ii) A survey identifying all springs, seepage, and groundwater flow observed or anticipated during wet periods in the area of the proposed disposal site.
(iii) A survey of the potential effects of subsidence of subsurface strata as a result of past and future mining operations.
(iv) A technical description of the rock materials to be utilized in the construction of disposal structures containing rock chimney cores or underlain by a rock drainage blanket.
(v) A stability analysis including, but not limited to, strength parameters, pore pressures, and long-term seepage conditions. This analysis must be accompanied by a description of all engineering design assumptions and calculations and the alternatives considered in selecting the design specifications and methods.
(7) Operation and reclamation plans. Plans for the construction, operation, maintenance, and reclamation of all excess spoil disposal structures in accordance with the requirements of §§ 817.71 through 817.74 of this chapter.
(8) Additional requirements for keyway cuts or rock-toe buttresses. If keyway cuts or rock-toe buttresses are required under § 817.71(d) of this chapter, the number, location, and depth of borings or test pits, which must be determined according to the size of the spoil disposal structure and subsurface conditions. You also must provide the engineering specifications used to design the keyway cuts or rock-toe buttresses. Those specifications must be based upon the stability analysis required under paragraph (a)(7)(v) of this section.
(b) Design certification. A qualified registered professional engineer experienced in the design of earth and rock fills must certify that the design of all fills and appurtenant structures meets the requirements of this section.

The toes will wiggle and stretch just as much as the hands and fingers. Your baby is extremely flexible at this time and as likely to bring one or both feet up to her mouth as she is her hands in order to explore them with her sensitive mouth and lips.
At around this time, you're likely to feel that awe-inspiring first kick. While your baby has been moving in your uterus since around the sixth week of gestation, it's only at this stage that she'll make her movements so definitely felt (although some women do feel movements from around 15 to 16 weeks). When exactly you feel that movement can be affected by your body weight, your baby's position, the location of your placenta, and whether it's your first pregnancy.
Experiencing the first sensation of movement, whether it's a feeling of bubbles, butterflies, flipping goldfish, or even a resounding kick, is likely to be an emotionally charged moment. After all, this is the first time your baby has communicated with you, even though she's not aware of what she's doing.
Once you've felt your baby move, you may want her to do it again-just to make sure you didn't imagine it. You may, however, not feel another movement for a few days. Your partner may want to rest his hand on your belly when your baby is most active (usually when you're resting so that your baby isn't being rocked to sleep by movement) to experience those first thumps himself. It won't hurt your baby to play with her, so gently press on your abdomen when she kicks.
Swimming is fantastic exercise during pregnancy, but you may need to invest in new swimwear as your breasts and abdomen grow.

I'm not very experienced with respect to Category Theory. So if this question makes no sense I'm sorry. At any rate here is my question: If the existence or non-existence of specific sets can be independent of set theory, then how can it be that the category Set is complete under small limits?
For example, suppose you have a small category A, with objects that are linearly ordered spaces X such that: X is without smallest or largest element, X has CCC, X is complete, and X is dense in itself. And as morphisms for A, you take order preserving bijections. Now, let F be the forgetful functor from A to the underlying set.
How exactly can you define the limit over F inside of Set?
Another example, would be considering some set sized collection of Whitehead groups, call it X. Now, consider X as a category equipped with homomorphisms as morphisms. And let G be the forgetful functor from X into Set.
How exactly can one define the limit over G inside Set?
Or even better, suppose that G is the identity functor from X into Grps. Then, what happens?
Am I correct in saying that the answer depends drastically on the set theoretic universe you pick? If so, how is this not a problem with category theory?

The website does not state that this bin lacks a vacuum/filter. It is just a sweeper bin. So if you have a lot of loose garbage on the floor it will work. But if you need the vacuum part to work and collect hair/dust this is not the product for you.

This is my first question, forgive me if this question is simple. I'm stuck here, trying to implement the relations for the data represented below. I want to scale it vertically (new rows), instead of adding new fields as city names horizontally(new columns). So far, I could only deduce 2 tables:
- City tables with primary key.(6 rows)
- Distance table with primary key.(13 rows)
How would I relate these 2 tables? Or should I proceed with 1 table as is in the representation below?

It seems that Robin Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry is the place where a whole generation of fresh minds have successfully learned about the modern AG. But is it possible for someone who is out of the Academia and has not much background, except a typical Undergraduate Alegebra and Some Analysis, to just go through the book, page by page? If not, what is the proper rout for entering into a serious Algebraic Geometry book, like Hartshorne's?
Hartshorne's book is an edulcorated version of Grothendieck and Dieudonné's EGA, which changed algebraic geometry forever.
There are many such books nowadays but my favourite is probably Basic Algebraic Geometry, volume 1 by Shafarevich, a great Russian geometer.
Try an "Invitation to Algebraic Geometry" by Smith, Kahapaa, Kekalainen and Traves. (Springer).
Detailed recommendations to start can be found in this analogue question or this other one (UPDATE: this recent long answer details a learning path from HS mathematics to advanced algebraic geometry), may be useful to you. I think the best route is firstly get a classical background on algebraic geometry (and any geometry in general) with the wonderful book by Beltrametti et al. - "Lectures on Curves, Surfaces and Projective Varieties", which serves as the most traditionally flavored detailed introduction for Hartshorne's chapter I, but done rigorously and with a modern style (proof of Riemann-Roch without mentioning cohomology!). This can be accompanied by the first half of the wonderful new title by Holme - "A Royal Road to Algebraic Geometry", where a beautiful treatment of curves and varieties is introduced in a very pedagogic way, and whose second half introduces the categorical formulation of schemes and sheaf cohomology and serves as an aperitif for Hartshorne's hardest chapters. Follow some of the rest of recomendations at the other answers, and patience and dedication will lead you to master Hartshorne. The main hard work you will need to do is a good mastery of commutative algebra; for a great thorough treatment of abstract algebra, I would recommend Rotman - "Advanced Modern Algebra" which is really nice for self-learning (but 1000 pages long!) and treats much of the background you need, to be supplemented with parts of Atiyah/MacDonald - Introduction to Commutative Algebra (you may start getting your algebraic background with Reid - "Undergraduate Commutative Algebra") or with the new Singh - "Basic Commutative Algebra" (Einsenbud's big book is a standard for many people as algebraic background for Hartshorne, but I see Atiyah/MacDonald+Sigh a more concise, more complete formal approach). For a full lists of references on classic algebraic geometry (curves and varieties) and modern (schemes and beyond), I have compiled two detailed lists at Amazon: Definitive Collection: Classical Algebraic Geometry and Definitive Collection: Abstract Algebraic Geometry.
In order to supplement Georges nice answer, I recommend you have a look at William Fulton's Algebraic Curves. It is a great book, which covers elements of the theory of algebraic curves from a "modern" point of view, i.e. with a view towards the modern approach to algebraic geometry via schemes (although this is never explicitly mentioned anywhere in the book).
I personally like it more than Reid's book, which Georges mentions. I think Fulton's is more systematic and thorough (at the risk of getting a little bit terse at times), while Reid's follows a more pictorial, scrapbook-stlye approach (at the risk of getting disorganized at times).

I am doing a thesis on graph theory, and I am currently drawing graphs with Illustrator. Vertexes and edges are easy to draw, but how about naming them? How do I get the symbols in image look like symbols in the text?
I use Illustrator a lot and certainly understand your dilemma. As pltuon states, you can get LaTeX fonts into Illustrator but you will not get the capability of LaTeX kerning and other typographic features automatically. It is also possible to write the text in LaTeX and import the pdf into Illustrator and cut and paste the text/equations from the pdf to the Illustrator file, given that fonts are scalable and available to both as stated by Herbert. Nevertheless, I would like you to consider using tikz-pgf as an option. If I understand the types of graphs you try to draw they would be well suited for tikz-type drawings.
Use a font with Illustrator which is also available as Type 1 for TeX, eg. Lucida, DejaVu, Libertine, ... If you can use XeTeX or LuaTeX then you can use for both the same OpenType version.
The fault seems to be at the Illustrators (CS4) end. I do have the fonts embedded but Illustrator is not able to use them:
Fonts are embedded,
but Illustrator cannot use them.
I did find an alternative way of doing this, although it is not fully satisfactory either:
One way would be to use the overpic package.
Another solution would be to make the Latex fonts you are using in your documents available to Illustrator. Things go fast so I may be wrong here but in the past, I had success putting the .pfb kpfonts (a Latex font) files into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. They were then available in Illustrator. One drawback is that all the mathematical signs will be understood if you open a file containing them (.eps file for instance) into Illustrator but you will not be able to have access to them in Illustrator directly from your keyboard (more exactly, I do not know how to achieve that).

I have a folder containing a bunch of ppts, each of which I'd like to convert to an individual pdf. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with whatever comes installed on it.
You can use unoconv. It's available in the repositories, so you can just apt-get it: unoconv
Note that the info in the web page is outdated. Use man or type unoconv -h to get actual command line options. It works like this:
This command will create a presentation.pdf file.
I have only used it to batch convert ods to pdf and it works perfectly. I haven't tried it with presentations (but for a quick test now), but I expect that it will work nicelly.
Note that it will not work on Lucid (10.04), because of a bug in the python-openoffice biddings. If you need to use it on Lucid, you can add this ppa to your software sources to upgrade your Openoffice version.
You can also use the command line of libreoffice for your purpose. This example converts all ppt-files in the current directory to pdf's:
Get more information on command line options with:
(Note: You have to close all running instances of libreoffice before the command line works)
easy cheat-
use unoconv with midnight commander to convert odt to pdf:
launch mc - navigate where the odt files are
tag odt files using Ctrl-T then F2,@,
paste in "unoconv -f pdf" (without the quotes)
it will spew a bunch of dire error messages, but it works!

To the editor:
A lot of people are asking why and how something like Sandy Hook killings could occur, and it is more complicated than any one of us could explain.
I hate to connect these two issues but I've said, "If a person could kill their own mother, they have no regard for life of any sort." That being said, going back to legalized abortion - if a mother or father could take the life of their own child, they have no real regard for life as the Bible teaches. The battle should be who is going to take care of a child, the mother or the father, and not who is going to get rid of the child.
With a lot of today's laws from our Christian forefathers being compromised to satisfy everyone, our morals are decaying more and more since the 1960s. The Bible states that "Thou shalt not kill," and there's more, but nowadays we can't really mention Jesus or God so as to be politically correct. That doesn't explain everything that happened, but it should be considered. The morals of his great country are decaying far too much.
Remember the seed of life this season and not the seed of death. Feed the seed of life - Merry Christmas

Brutal new ad: "The Chinese professor"
posted at 8:32 pm on October 21, 2010 by Allahpundit
Too good to be dumped into Headlines and forgotten about. So effective is it, in fact — note the Hollywood-quality production values — that it leaves me wondering why a more high-profile outfit didn't think of it first. Surely Rove's group or some other mega-PAC is capable of stuff this sharp. Maybe they're afraid of the inevitable racism charge? Can't blame 'em if so: Members of a racial minority saying or doing something contrary to progressive interests is, after all, pretty much the textbook definition of racism.
Exit question: Would a ChiCom college seminar really focus on the perils of big government? I ask you.

Guns at Gonzaga
At approximately 10:15 pm on October 24, a Gonzaga University undergraduate answered a knock at the door of his off-campus apartment, and was faced with what he called a "homeless man" who asked for money. The man's behavior was perceived as threatening, and so the student called for his roommate, who appeared with a loaded and drawn pistol, which he then leveled at the man. The "homeless man" fled and was apparently arrested later. After the incident, the students contacted Spokane police and campus security. Officers from campus security entered the apartment and confiscated the handgun as well as a hunting weapon. The young men were then placed on probation, since Gonzaga regulations forbid weapons on campus premises.
Those are some of the facts of the case. In a letter to the Gonzaga Bulletin (http://www.gonzagabulletin.com/opinion/article_e70d34a0-4cdc-11e3-a194-0...), Professor of Religious Studies Fr. Patrick Hartin praised the students for their conduct, and wondered whether GU hadn't turned from a wonderland into "Dante's Hell" because of the treatment of these young men. He followed up by saying "In the Catholic tradition, to which I ascribe, every person has a right to defend him or herself and to use appropriate means to save their lives." Even before Hartin's letter, college administrators had decided to reexamine campus policy on firearm possession.
Is there something specific about the Jesuit or Catholic mission of the college that should encourage or discourage a change in policy? Is this a case of self-defense? Does the Catholic tradition support the use of lethal force, as Fr. Hartin asserts? My understanding – from a blog post and discussion months back – is that at least some scholars in the just war tradition would suggest otherwise. They argue that while scripture tells us to "turn the other cheek," one is obligated to act aggressively in the defense of innocent others.
I've thought a lot about this case. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say.

Since when is begging for food a "threat" requiring a gun to defend against it?
I agree with Father Hartin.
Using guns for hunting and for defending fellow students at Jesuit schools is an important part of Jesuit tradition. See, e.g., Father Finn's famous books, best sellers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, translated into many languages.
Finn, as a young scholastic in 1881, was sent from St. Louis out to St. Mary's College, a Jesuit boarding school in St. Mary's, Kansas. (After many years, the Jesuits sold the school. Today it's an SSPX stronghold.) Mister Finn wrote books about the boys he taught.
In Tom Playfair, e.g., the first book by Francis Finn, S.J., the little boys hunt rabbits and quail, receive guns from home for Christmas (they stayed at school over Christmas), and, at one point, Tom holds a gun on a bad man who is armed with a knife and turns him over to the sheriff.
Search term: gun
Strange, I don't remember Jesus mentioning the "right to defend oneself and others" in the NT - that theory must come from the gospel of Aquinas. Guns on campus ... what a really great idea! (sarcasm alert).
Like the dog that didn't bark, you'll never see the headline:
"Young female student (coulda been your daughter) not raped!"
So now a scruffy guy looking for a handout is a threat to rape your daughter -- at an apartment shared by a couple of men?
I could be nasty and ask what she was doing there.
And what was she wearing?
In which article is the girl mentioned? Was a girl there when the felon tried to force his way in?
"A homeless man came to their door Oct. 24 demanding money and trying to force his way inside.
"The man who went to their door, John M. Taylor, 29, is a six-time felon, said police spokeswoman Monique Cotton. His crimes have included riot with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance and unlawful imprisonment."
Come on people, let's try to see around corners, shall we? Don't make me do ALL the thinking!
I do not usually comment on my own blog entries, but just for the sake of clarification, no report I've read so far mentions a female student in the off-campus apartment. Fr. Hartin does raise the issue of rape in his letter however.
I thought Fr. Hartin's letter was excellent, but I wondered who was in danger of rape. I thought I had missed an article about it.
The guns have been returned to their owner, and the threat of expulsion has been lifted. The boys are appealing their probation. Looks like Gonzaga is backing down.
(I don't understand why a contributor would not comment on his blog. If you've "thought a lot about this case," what is your opinion?)
And we wonder why anti-gun legislation doesn't pass. If a Jesuit can use the threat of a non-existent rape to justify two college age men with two guns threatening one unarmed man, that's pretty disturbing.
Fagan and McIntosh were in trouble for having guns in their off-campus apartment last month when they were visited by a recidivist felon named John Michael Taylor. He showed up on their porch, demanded cash and tried to force his way into their apartment after showing off his Department of Corrections ankle bracelet.
(Why display the bracelet? Did the jailbird threaten the young men with rape?)
McIntosh in turn showed Taylor he was armed with a 10mm Glock pistol. The thug beat feet but was apprehended a short time later and arrested on an outstanding DOC warrant.
(One gun was pointed at the intruder, not two.)
University President Thayne M. McCulloh announced yesterday that this incident allows the opportunity to re-evaluate the policy on firearms.
Glad they're backing down. Glad McCulloh didn't have to call the boys' parents to give them bad news.
The "thug", the "jailbird", the "recidivist felon". Case closed.
Thug is a perfectly good word, from the Indo-European root, (s)teg.
Recidivist comes from the Proto-European root, kad.
And felon, of course, is a legal term, which the intruder earned by his previous convictions.
(Jailbird was my mistake. I had forgotten that the thug, a recidivist felon, would have served his time in prison, not in jail.)
I can't see around corners, but I can testify that the girl was a figment of Mark Proska's overactive imagination. He was busy thinking for us when he imagined her.
Sorry, I guess being a non-gun-toting woman who lives alone, who's had to chase a guy at night out of her backyard, I'm finding it hard to empathize with two men with guns being worried about losing their virtue and their lives to an unarmed himeless man, recidivist felon though he might be. To use this as an excuse to allow students to own guns seems just nuts. But then I'm a liberal Christian pacifist, so what do I know.
Crystal, embellishing the story does not help. One gun, not two. The pistol only, not the shotgun.
None of the articles said the young men were "worried about losing their virtue." They had already demonstrated the virtue of charity by offering the intruder food and a blanket.
(Being raped does not mean the victim loses his/her virtue of purity.)
Google News has several articles about the students fending off the six-time felon. A police officer praised them for handling the situation so well.
Just to recall, here's what the catechism says:
Legitimate defense
2263 The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing. "The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one's own life; and the killing of the aggressor. . . . The one is intended, the other is not."65
2264 Love toward oneself remains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore it is legitimate to insist on respect for one's own right to life. Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow:
If a man in self-defense uses more than necessary violence, it will be unlawful: whereas if he repels force with moderation, his defense will be lawful. . . . Nor is it necessary for salvation that a man omit the act of moderate self-defense to avoid killing the other man, since one is bound to take more care of one's own life than of another's.66(Aquinas)
2265 Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.
I wssn't embellishing - I said they had guns, plural, which they did - though only one was trained on the homless man, the other was in the apartment and I assume available. You were the one who speculated that the homless man might want to rape the students ... "(Why display the bracelet? Did the jailbird threaten the young men with rape?)"
I can't see around corners…
Mr. Blackburn, on that we agree!
A young daughter tells her daddy she was out playing in traffic, but didn't get hurt. Daddy says, she you didn't get hurt this time, let me change my policy: You are now allowed to play in traffic.
In this story, you (and several others in here) are playing the role of Daddy. It's a lot easier when someone else's ox, or daughter, is being gored, I suppose.
Crystal, I'm sorry for planting the idea in your mind that the six-time felon may have mentioned what he would do to the Eagle Scout and his roommate if they didn't hand over money. Brandishing the bracelet would help his credibility.
A shame the thug destroyed the college experience for the brave young men. They will look back on the years at Gonzaga, not with pride and joy, but with sadness at knowing the school thought they did wrong and deserved expulsion for standing up to a violent intruder.
A gun, whether handgun or long gun, is a tool that is designed for the specific purpose of killing or maiming a living being. Yes, it can be used for target practice, but that in no way changes underlying nature and purpose of the tool. Anyone who takes up arms needs, as a matter of both prudence and morality, to understand this underlying fact: when one takes a gun into hand, she must be prepared to take the life of a creature that we believe is created by God. If the creature threatened by me is a human being, then I am threatening a creature I believe was created in the image of God.
I recall a church service during which a disheveled and dirty man came into the Sanctuary and walked up to the front row, sitting down with the Deacons. He became increasingly agitated, finally standing up and speaking wildly. Threateningly? Well, that is a subjective judgment. The senior minister stopped reading, turned to his junior associate and asked him to continue. Then came down the altar steps, took the agitated man by the arm, and calmly and gently walked out the side door, listening and speaking softly to him.
"Which if these, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?"
Mark L
Many students get drunk. Many are immature and lack self-control. A large number have psychological problems. I bet that the no-guns-on-campus policy can be thanked for preventing many tragedies.
Some reading ... a past article in The Economist - "The gun control that works: no guns" - written by a man who lives in DC, cites differences between the UK and US on gun laws, numbers of gun-related deaths, and attitudes towards bearing firearms ... http://www.economist.com/blogs/lexington/2012/12/gun-control?fsrc=scn/tw...
NY Daily News account of John M. Taylor's foiled attempt to get money from the Gonzaga students. He was arrested later that night after attempting burglary at another house.
Gonzage intends to re-examine its gun policy. What will come of that? Are they caving to public pressure? Will they expunge the probation from the boys' transcripts or cause them to go through life with blots on their records?
"A gun, whether handgun or long gun, is a tool that is designed for the specific purpose of killing or maiming a living being."
A peace officer might argue that the purpose of her handgun is to help her stop a deadly force threat, not to kill or maim. She shoots it to stop a deadly force threat, not to kill or maim.
As stated above, this didn't appear to be a deadly force scenario. A baton or OC spray (non deadly force instruments) MIGHT have been more appropriate.
Then again, since the residents were not peace officers (assuming), the better option might have been to look the out the peep hole or out a window before opening the door and speaking loudly through the closed door.
Nobody killed, no shot fired. Thankfully.
Here's some support for both sides, a variation of the old "Walk softly, but carry a big stick". Phil Robertson (the not really wild hunter of Duck Dynasty) was on a hunting trip with a son in Idaho. One night in the hotel, Phil, in bed, saw the door opening very, very slowly. Phil grabbed his gun from under the pillow, aimed it at the intruder, and said, "Wrong room!". The intruder ran away. End of story.
(We really don't know what the paraticulars of the Gonzaga story are, do we?)
It seems like the police and campus officers acted totally inappropriately. The students do, in fact, have a right to have arms in their apartment off campus.
I agree that on campus is another story but there should be security there. And I do understand the problems that have occurred with school shooting and the concerns around student safety.
But again, we do not have all the details. In what context, did the homeless person mention that he had a bracelet and had been in prison. Was he threatening? How did he threaten exactly? At any rate, he left and was he actually charged? Based on the story, he did not do anything illegal either. Knocking on a door is not illegal. Begging is not illegal. Saying that you have been in prison is not a threat. Nor is saying that you have a bracelet.
But the question a Jesuit university should be asking is, what programs exist for this man. The US has the highest incarceration rate per capita than anywhere else in the world. Mandatory sentencing is a nightmare and has increased the prison population. States are not investing in rehabilitation programs. Recidivisim rates are high. You cannot even access public housing and some forms of social assistance if you are a convicted felon. So in many ways, the criminal justice system perpetuates as opposed to helping these problems.
These are important social justice questions.
The students do, in fact, have a right to have arms in their apartment off campus.
No. Since Gonzaga was leasing the building, its gun rules were in force.
(If you would read some of the articles, you would find answers to some of your questions.)
But the question a Jesuit university should be asking is, what programs exist for this man.
Why is "this man" more important than the students, who have been paying tuition and attending classes for nearly four years? Gonzaga is a university, not a rehabilitation agency for ex-convicts.
Imho, the question they should be asking is why were they so quick to bust in the apartment, seize the guns, and decide to expel the students, and then, after a public outcry, return the guns, rescind the threat of expulsion, and decide to re-examine their rules?
We need to suspend judgment here because there is more to the story than meets the eye. The larger issue is a group of conservative Catholic students at Gonzaga who are jockeying for a particular position vis-a-vis more progressive students and faculty on campus. Isn't this always the case, that the back story gets buried. This is a culture wars issue.
From the letter to the editor:
The students living in the Logan Neighborhood are living in one of the most dangerous areas in Spokane. Surely, more needs to be done to provide security for them; maybe then students may find that they do not need guns to protect themselves at night.
According to Gerelyn, the apartment in that neighbourghood was leased by the university. That makes, the university part of that community not some academic island gated and shut out from the social and economic context. I can tell you that the most dangerous part of my city is populated by aboriginal people, people struggling with addictions, homeless shelters, etc. If you happen to live in that area, then yes, you will be exposed to this element but the answer is partnering with local police, enhancing social programs and outreach and heck maybe even offering free education and assistance to many of these people so that they can earn high school diplomas (most probably are drop outs) or degree programs.
Again, is Gonzaga going to do any of that or are they going to invest in private security for the apartment building?
Apparently you don't research much, the perp has an extensive criminal record and was on parole at the time of the incident.
Washington DC, a great example for "gun control", would you walk around DC at night unarmed ???
"Again, is Gonzaga going to do any of that or are they going to invest in private security for the apartment building?" Now there's an excellent question.
BTW, is the following true?
"Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J. was an Italian aristocrat who became a member of the Society of Jesus. While still a student at the Roman College, he died as a result of caring for the victims of an epidemic."
Reading a bit more it seems poor health was a life long source of challenges for him. Nonetheless, I wonder what Luigi would have done about all this. Perhaps modern times suggest a need for a university name change. "Liberty University" comes to mind.
This sounds like an extremely risky confrontation. One twitch of a finger could have resulted in a dead man - the sort of thing that can't be undone. We should hope that these students are able to reflect on a more prudent way to handle uninvited visitors. Those who possess firearms must use good judgment in their use.
McIntosh was trained in the use of firearms. He used good judgment.
"I come down with the gun at a low ready, as per how I've been trained," McIntosh said, pointing his hands at the ground.
McIntosh saw his roommate and the man standing there, he said. The stranger's hand was behind his back. McIntosh didn't know what the man was doing, but he didn't take any risks.
"I draw on him," McIntosh said, lifting his arms into the air to demonstrate. "As soon as he sees me, he decides he doesn't want to deal with me. So he takes off."
The men called police and campus security; both arrived within minutes. McIntosh told the police officer he'd chased the man off with the pistol, for which he has a concealed weapons permit, he said.
The officer commended the young men for their actions, telling them they used the right amount of force to keep themselves safe, Fagan said.
No question everyone has the right to defend herself. But there is an irony for Christians drumming up the use of firearms and for Mr. Geroux and Co, posing this question rather than what to do for the 15 million slaves in India. A land which sends us its mercenary priests even though there is a deep need for the practice of the Gospel in that country. It is like everyone knows the difference between mortal and venial sin but dismisses the fact that 7 million Jews were killed in countries where the majority is Christian. Why are you et alli, Mr. Geroux talking about how moral it is that Walmart and McDonalds do not pay the medium wage? Why does that not trouble you?
"Washington DC, a great example for "gun control", would you walk around DC at night unarmed ???"
J. Birch --
No, I wouldn't. But I wouldn't walk around D.C. armed either, as that would be much more likely to result in somebody's injury or death. Guns are NOT the solution. They aren't even the *basic problem*. If someone has to be out at night, then, yes, perhaps a gun for protection is in order, but, don't kid yourself, it won't make the carrier safe -- the bad guys have guns too.
In the meantime, the rest of us had better just accept having to avoid night walks until our social ills (bad eduction, lack of jobs, etc.) are solved. And they can be, but only if we're willing to spend the money. But that's more expensive than buying a gun, even a big one.
Tobias Maguire: > A peace officer might argue that the purpose of her handgun is to help her stop a deadly force threat, not to kill or maim. She shoots it to stop a deadly force threat, not to kill or maim.
The purpose of the officer in drawing her weapon might be to forestall a deadly attack (though it often enough is drawn when no such attack is in the offing), but that is not the purpose of the weapon. Even if it has the effect of stopping the threat, it achieves that effect by virtue of the weapon's capacity to kill or maim its target. Every person who is taught to use a gun to protect society – military and law enforcement – understands the consequences of using the weapon. They train at the range specifically so that their use of the weapon will be effective.
Only someone who has never cradled the head of his dying friend on a field far away, or dealt with a GSW in an emergency room, or stood at the doorway of a mother who is collapsing in pain at the news you bring will mistake the purpose of a gun. We can pray for God's forgiveness, and hope that our faith in the catechism was well placed. But once the trigger has been polled, you will know the fruit by the taste on the tongue.
And it is bitter.
Mark L.
The two students are appealing their probation. I wonder if they will be successful.
For the record, Fr. Hartin is not a Jesuit. He's a diocesan priest who happens to teach at a Jesuit university.
For the record, Fr. Hartin is not a Jesuit. He's a diocesan priest who happens to teach at a Jesuit university.
Sorry for the double post just above.
I've got to say that, despite the differences of opinion here, the timbre of this conversation is vastly more civil than the one that ensued on the Gonzaga website after the letter from President McCulloh was posted. As a proud employee of the university, I was appalled at the insults that were cast about, the wild presuppositions that were assumed, and the cognitive distortions that were displayed. Oddly, a good number of those posting on that site had no affiliation with Gonzaga.
Anyway, thanks to most of you here for not engaging in those dirtly and uncivilized antics. I've come to believe that you can tell a great deal about a person's character by how they treat a total stranger online.
Many styles of martial arts are practiced for self defense or include self defense techniques. Some styles train primarily for self defense, while other martial or combat sports can be effectively applied for self defense Self Defense Weapons

HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
Will the printer still work with the new MAC OS Lion? If not will HP provide a driver to download or is there another solution rather than abandon a perfectly good printer?
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
Yes - this printer is supported with Lion - if drivers currently installed in 10.6, after Lion upgrade you'll still have full functionality.
I am an HP employee
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
Unfortunately die Network Scan Archiving option is gone with OS X Lion. No matter what I do the OfficeJet will not connect to my SMB/Windows File Share on the Mac anymore. This worked perfectly under Snow Leopard. Other computers (Windows, Linux) can access the file share on my Mac without problems. But the OfficeJet not.
This is very frustrating for me as I resided heavily on this functionality for my personal document management and for home office purposes.
Please fix this
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
After my upgrade from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion, printing is okay, but scanning functions freeze at a gray screen, and do not progress to the full scan dialog box.
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
are you trying to scan from the 'HP Scan' application or using Preview (import scan) ?
is the printer connected wirelessly or via cable ?
if you have not done so yet, launch Software Updates from under the OS X apple menu and check if an HP driver update is available. If yes, download it. This may provide updated driver and scan update for the ImageCapture / Preview scan flow
hope this helps,
I am an HP employee
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
I am having exactly the same issue. Since upgrading to Lion (and having downloaded the HP update for Lion) I can no longer use the digial filing function. I've tried to set it up again, but I consistently get the error message "Network connection error - check network and try again". It still works perfectly on my Snow Leopard operating system on another Mac. I've spent hours trying to fix it and have now come to the conclusion its HP not me! It still prints etc with Lion but just wont let me use Digital Filing. HELP!!!
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
Same problem here. Since upgrading to Lion, the scan to network folder option doesn't work.
Any news HP ?
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
this issue is under investigation - will report back to this forum asap when there is more information available
I am an HP employee
Re: HP Officejet PRO 8500 Wireless + Mac OS Lion
I am neither an Apple of HP employee, but I'm geeky enough to have spent enough time troubleshooting and exploring this to have the following hypothesis.
WIth OS X Lion, Apple has upgraded its internal file protocol (AFP) to version 3.3. In order for outside devices to interact with this protocol and successfully read/write with OS X, the devices must support communicating through Netatalk 2.2. Given that 2.2 was released after what I can tell as being the most recent firmware update for the HP 8500, in all likelihood it does not support it.
This problem is not unique to HP, as other vendors, primarily drive manufacturers such as WD and others, are also facing this issue.
The only solution is for the manufacturer to upgrade its firmware. So, it's entirely up to HP.
For what its worth, HP still actively markets and sells this device through the Apple store so one would hope that HP would see the value of providing a firmware update as the devices are DOA today with respects to saving directly to an Apple computer using the Save to Network Folder option. (Note: Although it is not ideal, you can still save to a USB drive hanging off of a Time Capsule.)
If this is discussion is actually monitored by an HP employee, hopefully this helps. Whether my hypothesis is correct or not is of little concern to me. Saving to my MBP like the good old days is, however. :-)

I often see conditons like $\pi_{2}G\not=0$ in reading old papers on Lie groups(no, my memory is wrong, they asked if $\pi_{1}G$ is free). I want to ask why we need this condition and how the higher dimensional homotopy group matters. I have `read' most of available introductory graduate level textbooks on representation theory of Lie group and Lie algebra like Fulton and Harris, and I seldom(if ever) see higher diemsional homotopy groups enters into the discussion. I remember when I ask this to my undergraduate advisor, he responded that this is a "common condition" so we should not worry about it. Given the fact that most Lie groups are of huge dimension, it seems reasonable not to worry about if it is 2-connected. But now thinking in retrospective, I am wondering if the matter is this simple. Also, for practical purposes is there a practical way to compute it by its representations? For example $Sp(14,\mathbb{C})$ or $SO(5)$?
I don't know whether I really get you point. The importance of $\pi_i G$ for higher $i$'s is that they determine whether a $G$-principal bundle can be trivialized.
Remember a $G$-principal bundle $E\rightarrow B$ is trivial if and only if we can find section $s: B\rightarrow E$. It is natural to ask $B$ has a cell decomposition and the section $s$ always exists on the $0$-skeleton of $B$(which are points in $B$). It is easy to see that the section can be extended to $1$-skeleton if and only if the image of the points are in the same connect component of $G$.
Now we can move on by induction: if we have built a section on $i$-skeleton, can we extend it to $i+1$-skeleton? Similar to the $0$-skeleton case, we can see that the section can be extended if and only if the corresponding map $S^i\rightarrow G$ is homotopic to the constant map.
So if $\pi_i G$ are all zero, we can always extend the map and get a section, hence the principal $G$-bundles are always trivial. If $\pi_i G$ are not all zero, it requires more work.
Hopefully this makes things clear.

Average retail gasoline prices in Nebraska have fallen 2.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.30/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 4.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.34/g, according to gasoline price website NebraskaGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Nebraska during the past week, prices yesterday were 1.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 6.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 12.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 5.5 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"The national average has continued to see a steady decline over the last week, and that trend will likely continue through this week at the very least," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Last week, the Energy Information Administration reported one of the largest single week increases in gasoline inventories in my recent memory, which will likely contribute downward pressure to wholesale gasoline prices in the days and perhaps weeks ahead," DeHaan said.

Okay, so just as I'm dispatching the last of Z2 and it's irritating Plague/Sloth Demon combo, I enter Z3 and the Battle Mages are just another slap in the face. Don't get me wrong, the first time I fought one of these, that sudden 14 MCs was pretty cool. Now, though, it's just irritating.
I realized that to beat the Plague Demons, I had to put in some HIGH damage cards. So I got a Talisman that increased my Crit chance. Now, I'm regularly dealing out some 14 odd damage.
Now, to beat the Battle Mages, I need the same thing, only this time, I need to end the round quickly cuz if not, I'll be looking a good 200+ MCs ready to take me out. My problem is, I'm already dealing high damage and for every magic card I deplete, he gains another 14 MCs!
Damage is obviously not my issue. His absorbance keeps me at an even 5 damage, with crits. Healing or Bloating my Deck, are also not the right ideas—I can't heal from 89 damage and I can't afford a 100 card deck, so what do I do?
Besides rage quit, of course.

Anglers looking to stock their freezer should visit Evans County Public Fishing Area in the next few weeks as the limit on what they can take increased after preparations began for an upcoming improvement project on the area. The PFA will temporarily close on June 1, 2012 and re-open in 2013.
"The draining of the lake at Evans County has begun, so fish are being pushed into concentrated areas, which should make the fish-catching easier," says John Biagi, fisheries chief of the Wildlife Resources Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources. "We encourage people to head to the area and take advantage of the opportunity."
Limit Increases
The "take" limit on most fish species has increased: Bream limit is 50 per person (formerly 15); largemouth bass is 10 per person with a 12-inch minimum length (formerly five per person with a 14-inch minimum length); channel catfish has no limit (formerly five per person); and crappie is 30 per person (no change).
Improvements Coming
Multiple issues, such as tree growth on the dam and wave erosion, currently affect the nearly 50-year old impoundment. Bond funding will support tree and stump removal, slope rebuilding and grading for structural integrity and improved maintenance, and rip-rap installation to prevent further wave damage. Fisheries Management plans to rebuild the fish population with restocking and add lake enhancements, such as fish attractors.
Alternative Fishing Locations
Anglers needing an alternative location to fish during the construction period have several options:
- Fort Stewart and Hunter Military Installations: This area offers nearly 20 managed ponds, lakes and numerous access points on the Canoochee River. An additional license is required and rules/regulations are different from state regulations.
- Canoochee, Ogeechee, Savannah and Altamaha rivers: Up-to-date fishing prospects for many rivers is available at http://georgiawildlife.com/Fishing/Rivers
- City of Savannah community ponds: Good fishing is available at several community ponds within the city limits of Savannah.
- Georgia Public Fishing Areas: There are nine other PFAs in the State of Georgia that offer managed and family-friendly areas for anglers and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. More info at www.georgiawildlife.com/fishing/public-fishing-areas .
Evans County PFA, located east of Claxton, Georgia, is a 372-acre area that includes three separate impoundments. Lakes Longleaf, Woody and Bidd Sands attract more than 5,000 anglers each year with an additional almost 4,000 guests visiting the area. The area boasts concrete boat ramps with courtesy docks, fishing piers, primitive camp sites, boardwalk nature trail, restrooms and picnic tables.
This PFA also is home to alligator and waterfowl hunts. Sportsmen drawn for these quota hunts will be able to participate in the hunts during renovation, but should check with staff to verify the lakes have water (September 2012-January 2013). Fishing is expected to resume in June 2013.
For more information on public fishing areas in Georgia, visit http://georgiawildlife.com/fishing/public-fishing-areas.

I've made a pretty good living as a self-taught programmer, but when I find that I discuss some low-level fundamental topics with my peers who have a CS degree, holes appear in my knowledge. I'm a big picture (architecture) guy, so for a long time this hasn't bothered me, but lately I've wondered if there is an approach I can take that will help me learn these fundamentals without going back to school? Are there books, websites or videos that you can recommend that would give me a ground-up perspective as opposed to a learn it as you need it mentality?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This ought to keep you busy for a couple of weeks:
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials
Since I learned a lot from books, I tend to think in terms of books.
There are a number of good books for learning about the basics of the craft of programming. At the top of the list, I'd put:
It is largely language-agnostic, and it explains the why's and wherefore's very approachably, and covers a lot of ground in its pages.
I like a few other general books - my background gives me a strong Unix bias:
Although Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" is in many ways excellent, it is also a daunting set of books to read.
You could usefully look at some of the books about algorithms - there are many.
After that, it depends on where your main areas of interest and professional duties lie. What is appropriate depends on where you need to specialize. You might want to look at "An Introduction to Database Systems" by C J Date, as a general background on relational databases.
Other possible contenders:
In a somewhat different vein, "Software Fundamentals: The Collected Papers by David L Parnas" is an interesting read - but probably not at the top of your priority list.
If you just went through the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs book, and did the exercises, you'd have a pretty solid foundation.
Here is a list of the most famous online academic level learning portals (check computer science category) :
please note that courses there are thought by top world universities like MIT,Stanford,... and you can have a certificate for passing courses after entering real mid-term, final exams and for sure submit homeworks ;)
it might keep you busy for couple of years :)
For MIT OpenCourseWare edx might be the successor as MIT has many classes there !
In General there is a trend now from universities on giving high quality academic courses online for free or very low cost. check this wikipedia entry.
There are several books & topics I consider to be very good. There are a ton of others, but these will get you a long way towards a solid CS education. I've seen other books on these topics, and these - IMO - provide the depth needed for a thoughtful consideration of the matter, at a professional level.
Corman's Algorithms
Russel & Norvig's AI: A Modern Approach
Money & Harris's Digital Design.
Hopcroft & Ullman's Introduction to Automata Theory
Aho, Ullman, Sethi's Compilers, aka "The Dragon Book"
None of these books are nice friendly quick-digesting Apress or O'Reilly books. That is not their purpose. They don't really come with lots of code (exception is Digital Design, which is for sophmores, not seniors), but usually come with a fair amount of math. Difficulty of understanding goes up exponentially when moving into the deeper things.

A Leavenworth County man was taken to the hospital after his vehicle overturned early Sunday morning near Tonganoxie, according to a report from the Sheriff's Office.
Authorities believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
The accident was reported at 2:15 a.m. Sunday west of Knight Road on Sandusky Road.
A 46-year-old man, who's from the Tonganoxie area, had been driving west in a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The vehicle went into a ditch and overturned, according to the report.
The driver reportedly suffered multiple cuts and scratches. And he complained of multiple pains. He was transported by Leavenworth County EMS to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment and observation.
Multiple opened containers of alcohol were found in the vehicle, according to the report.

This seems simple, except that I am not able to figure it out.
In a wordpress theme, how can I make a custom menubar below the header image stick at the top after scrolling down the page?
Example sites are www.riverviewford.com and www.forexfactory.com.
Here is the code I found on the net and am trying to use in wordpress. http://jsfiddle.net/uFq2k/3/
How do I actually call the script, and where from? Thanks in advance.

Stamford's First Four Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's "First Five" economic-development program bestows state loans, grants and tax credits on companies that invest $25 million in Connecticut and promise to create at least 200 jobs over five years. A clear plurality of "First Five" beneficiaries, including NBC Sports, Bridgewater Associates, Charter Communications and most recently, The Navigators Group, agreed to set up shop in Gov. Malloy's home city of Stamford. That's interesting. In bygone days, state Democrats frequently criticized then-Gov. John G. Rowland's direction of state dollars to what he called "the center of the universe" — his home city of Waterbury. Now, there isn't a peep from the Democrats as Gov. Malloy similarly uses the governorship to benefit the place he came from, at the expense of Waterbury and other cities that need economic development far more desperately than Stamford does. Can you say double standard?

Digital Archivists 2013-04-21
digital archivist group meeting notes 4/21/2013
9 people in attendence, Danny moderating introductions, danny discusses the impetus for calling the first meeting,
we take a look at the reetz scanner with online videos... offer to get a proto for some discount under $500
and a look at dany Qs scanner, which costs more and has some failure rate issues but is a good direction to head in (whats the scope of the scanning problem, how many hours work would it take for all possible books to be scanned by attendant scanners?) folks don't want to put valuable books into a scanner that could destory or damage them, but the design should be worked on.
danny talks about myco books of rare value that aren't available. mushrooms, russia, and history from newalexandria.org is a success story.
danny suggests scan for our purposes (archival and reference) and keep discussing licenssing issues to find ways to sucessfully get the content released.
public domain is discussed, copyright, usage guidelines,
documentation to accompany the scanner is discussed -- where to upload information and what kind of licensing issues exits.
committed to purchase the last of the diybookscanners from d. reetz, and work to get the remaining parts and get it built for use asap. We're also interested in building other models of scanners with different levels of automation and capability.

Karmen Nizi
Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
My name is Karmen Nizi and I had just recently had unrelated bone marrow transplant. To start off from the very beginning:
I was originally diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in 1991, and being only 16 years old I was terrified. At that age the doctors all considered me as an adult and decided that I could handle the *bad* news all alone. I believe that no one, regardless of their age, could take such news alone! After going through a period of denial and anger, I knew that this was a part of my life that I would have to live with. So with the support from family and friends, I began my two years of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. In August of 1993, I was declared in full remission. You can believe me, that was one of the happiest days of my life. The oncology nurses even gave me a diploma for my achievement.
Unfortunately, in May of 1994, I had to face a relapse. To me it seemed that God was punishing me all over again. I thought that I could never go through another two years of treatment. As a result, that was not an option that I had. The doctors explained to me that my body has been given the maximum dose of chemotherapy that it could take. And for me to stay in another remission without a relapse was very unlikely.
So immediately I became a candidate for a Bone Marrow Transplant. The search for an unrelated donor began, being that my two brothers (siblings; the best possible match) were perfect matches for each and not me. I was very lucky to find a donor as quickly as I did, considering that there is only about a 20% chance to get a perfect unrelated match.
December of 1994 came around rather quickly, and my official date for the transplant was set for December 8,1994. I still remember that night waiting in my room with my parents and brother. Of course the marrow had arrived late, and all I knew about the donor was that the marrow had taken two flights to get to me. You can imagine of all the places we came up with that it might have came from. Oh, by the way, I was in Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. I am originally from Edmonton, Alberta but moved to Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario in the summer of 1985.
Today I am feeling pretty good, though I still do have some rough days. But look at it this way, "Everyone has a bad day or two ". I guess what I am trying to say is that there is hope at the end of that dark tunnel!
All I am waiting for now, is the day that I can meet that great person who basically gave me a second chance at life. And soon enough that day will come - December 8th will definitely be special!
One little message that I would like to leave to all those BMT patients, "The doctors always said that the day of your transplant is day ONE". So twenty years from now when someone asks how old I am, I'll be telling them the truth that I am only 20 years old! (HA HA)

Airzooka Air Gun
Launch A Full Air Assault - Without Ever Leaving The Ground!
- Fun gun launches balls of air at your enemies
- Mess up hair, ruffle their clothes, blow away papers
- Needs no batteries, electricity, or ammo
Launch A Full Air Assault - Without Ever Leaving The Ground!
Airzooka is the 'fun gun' that blows a harmless ball of air towards any object, person (or animal!). The airball will travel up to twenty feet and beyond...
Cackle with amusement as, seemingly from nowhere, you are able to mess up a person's hair, ruffle their shirt, dress, or TPS reports from a distance, or just plain blow 'em away!.
The Airzooka is surprisingly accurate and Office Dogs Loathe Them!. But it's so fun to watch Cisco twenty feet away suddenly leap a foot into the air because of the ghost like ball of air that just nailed him. Needless to say all our office dogs are generating AirZooka Psychosis, but we suppose that's part of being an office dog.
Requiring no batteries or electricity, AirZooka operates simply by pulling and releasing a built-in elastic air launcher. And here's the best part: because it shoots air, you'll never run out of ammo (unless you happen to be on the moon!).
Dimensions: AirZooka Chamber, 10 1/2" x 10 x 3/4" x 7 1/2"
Wanna chat about it?

The Challenge
After my last career with Fabian Müller came to an end, I have decided to move on to something totally different. It's a youth challenge, largely inspired by hrbfc and Makoto Nakamura, although I'm doing it in England. Firstly because I like the idea of a long struggle up the leagues, and secondly because I always sucked in my feeble attempts at dafuge's challenge and I want to finally rectify the situation.
This career will be played as Maurizio Orlandini, an Italian with a blistering strike rate in my old Roma team. Most of the time though he was 'doing a Hargreaves', so I figured the touchline would probably suit him down to the ground.
Why Dorchester? Three reasons really. They're an old club, established in 1880, they own their own youth setup, and they're pretty rubbish.
Club Info
General Info
Thankfully the BSS has 22 teams, meaning that the media prediction of 18th places us outside the relegation spots. Top stuff.
Sadly we don't own the ground, but 5,000 capacity is reasonable for this level, and £1 rent per year shouldn't be too arduous.
The board offered a wide range of choices to me.
Given such a wide variety, I went with the least ambitious option.
Team Info
As for the calibre of the team, here are my three stars... a taster, if you will.
Ashley Nicholls - The central midfielder is a fine passer of the ball, and I suppose his mentals aren't bad.
Kyle Critchell - A great header of the ball, and also decent at marking and tackling. Naturally, with such horrific pace and crossing he'd be a useless full-ba... no, wait, he is a full-back.
Sebastian Broomfield - With fine natural fitness, this guy will keep on... oh, sod it. I'm fed up of coming up with nice things to say. If this guy is my 3rd best player, a striker with finishing of 6 and acceleration and pace of 8 and 9 respectively, things aren't looking good.
I hope next year's youth prospects are impressive.
Slow and agonising failure.

I am trying to run a command from within my MythTV interface on my Mythbuntu computer.
It won't run, and I found this error in my mythbackend.log:

I looked up what

/bin is on my path...
$ echo $PATH
... and sh is definitely in there:
$ ls /bin/sh
So why is this command not being found?

How does the future look for ReiserFS? Did the trial affect its popularity much?
This is a pretty subjective question, so referring to a published statistic/article would be nice.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
As far as Reiser4, it is currently in Andrew Morton's -mm tree and development continues led by Edward Shishkin (a former Namesys employee). In a mid-May email on
People seem to have moved on to getting excited about ext4/btrfs/ZFS, so reiser4 going into the mainline may be more of a victory for its supporters than anything else, but at the same time if it's better than the other available file systems then I'm sure it will regain popularity.
The Wikipedia article says that development has stopped on ReiserFS v4, so I would take that to mean that you're at the mercy of your host OS's support for ReiserFS v3 and the year 2038, whichever comes first.
You're right, it is a very subjective question. Especially if you're trying to gauge its popularity (which I think is a pointless exercise).
If you need to ask, you know the answer.
His severely poor social skills caused him to be unable to work with the kernel developers. For example he had good ideas that required API changes. A compelling case must be made for these, and he refused to make his case. He often did not listen to other people of similar intelligence, and refused to make technical arguments to an audience that requires them.
When reading details of his trial, it seems that these problems in socialization are related to the issues that led to the tragic events of his life. But I don't believe that the trial would have had such an impact on the filesystem's popularity if he had been more willing to work with others in a constructive manner.
This LWN article from 2008 is a decent description of the context.
Mr. Reiser's role in reiserfs development and maintenance ended some years ago, though. He stopped work on it when reiser4 development started, and even opposed the incorporation of improvements done by others. Reiserfs continues to be maintained independently of its creator, though there is not much interest in adding features to it at this point. Reiserfs is nearing the end of its run, and nothing which happened this week has changed that situation in any way.
Work still goes on - see this list:- http://www.nabble.com/ReiserFS---General-f1023.html
Well, ReiserFS is a nice reasonably bug free file system in the kernel. Reiser4 seems to be a dead end, and not likely to ever make it into the kernel.
For those of us interested in the idea of the Reiser file systems, and also of ZFS, the fs to watch is BtrFs. Still alpha though.
Better questions would be
"Is there being done any maintenance work on the current Reiserfs? (v3)" "What happened to Reiser4? It was very promising"
I was big fan of Reiserfs and I also tried some pre-alpha of Reiser4 that was quite fast as well as extendable. Would love a filesystem that can store meta information, such as ID3 tags.
Not for me. I benchmarked reiser3 against ext2, ext3, and XFS. I didn't have difficult requirements, simple journaling and low overhead was what I was looking for. Ext3 beat the others hands down in speed tests. At the time, my thought was "if it isn't faster, and I don't need the extra features, I don't get what the fuss is about."
I already disliked it, I guess is what I'm saying.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Governor Rick Scott announced today the 2012 Annual Uniform Crime Report.
The report shows Florida's crime rate dropped 6.5 percent compared to 2011. The total number of crimes fell 5.7 percent from last year which translates into 43,536 fewer crimes in 2012. The number of violent crimes was down 4.3 percent or 4,218 fewer crimes reported. The complete 2012 Annual Uniform Crime Report, including county-by-county breakdowns, can be found on FDLE's website at www.fdle.state.fl.us/fsac/ucr/.
Governor Scott said, "It is because of the hard work of Florida's law enforcement community that we can celebrate today's great news about Florida's crime rate. Having a low crime rate is important to my goal of creating jobs and opportunities for Florida families, and making our state the best state in the nation to live, work or raise a family."
The Florida Police Chiefs Association President, Chief Dennis Jones of Tallahassee Police Department, stated, "These numbers demonstrate the quality of law enforcement officers we have in our state. As law enforcement agencies and its officers are required to do more with less, I am proud of the dedication they have demonstrated in keeping our citizens and communities safe."
Non–violent crime decreased 5.9 percent or a reduction of 39,318 reported crimes compared to 2011. The value of stolen property decreased by 9.1 percent while the value of property recovered increased 2.7 percent. Total arrests increased 0.8 percent from 2011.
Overall domestic violence fell 3.3 percent. While there were 3,635 fewer victims of domestic violence in 2012, cohabitants continue to be the largest group of victims in this category, with spouses remaining the second largest group.
Crimes committed by firearms continue to drop in 2012, down 2.0 percent with 489 fewer crimes committed with guns in 2012.
The report also contains information on officers killed feloniously. Two law enforcement officers and one correctional officer died from criminal causes while on duty during 2012. In addition, two law enforcement officers died accidentally during the course of duty.
FDLE began tracking crime statistics in 1971.

I have a big question. I started to develop a simple 3D engine (or should I call it framework?). I use OpenGL for rendering and it is developed for Windows. It is all written in C.
But I don't know, how to write an "interface" for the keyboard/mouse input. I would like to keep it as simple as possible and nice - what the Win32 "native" input system is not.
If anyone has suggestions about the topic, please, tell me.
Thanks for everyone, who answers to my question!
