Streamsong: 'Great not good enough'
Two time Masters golf champion Ben Crenshaw, one of the architects of Streamsong's two world-class golf layouts, takes the official "first swing" during opening ceremonies Saturday.
Enjoying the official ribbon cutting for Streamsong's golf opening Saturday are, from left: course architect Tom Doak, and Mosaic's Tom Sunnarborg and Rich Mack.
Rich Mack was a man with a dream.
The Mosaic executive who served as the project's chief visionary — when Streamsong was nothing more than an idea in the minds of a few — said Saturday what was obvious to the hundreds of invited guests who were finally sharing in the reality of what company officials are hoping becomes a world-class resort.
"For us, great was not good enough," Mack said about the driving philosophy behind Streamsong, and the selection of the golf course's architects. "This venue needs to be exceptional. The scale of this project needed to be more than something that was simply local. We were looking to create something that was not local, or regional or even of state significance. This needed to be national, and indeed hopefully something that could have an international draw. One of the goals I've had from the very beginning is the name of this wonderful resort, Streamsong, is going to be identifiable whether you're in Illinois, New York, California, Oregon, Minnesota. We think that is a very good thing for the local communities."
Although the golf courses have been open since Dec. 21, Saturday was the official ribbon-cutting for the two courses and clubhouse that have already earned national and international acclaim.
Mack, Mosaic's executive vice president and general counsel, noted the project's genesis came at a time when the nation's economy was seriously tanking. Despite that, the Streamsong dream persevered, driven by two main goals.
"The first one is we wanted to develop a showcase property that would illustrate what could be done on land that had been previously mined," Mack said. "In addition, we wanted to create a compelling and memorable golf experience to enjoy for generations to come. Streamsong is a powerful site, and Mosaic is excited to introduce this venue to the world's golf community as a world class model for economic and environmental sustainability."
While land reclamation is now a big part of what Mosaic does, it represents the first time they have undertaken such a commercial project on former mining property.
Mack made it a point to thank company officials for green-lighting the resort, and having the "courage and conviction to approve the project."
The three men most responsible for its golf look, including two-time Masters golf tournament champion Ben Crenshaw, were all at Saturday's grand opening. Crenshaw was joined by Bill Coore, his design partner, and Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf, all of whom have marveled at the 16,000-acre site.
"This property has some of the most unusual, interesting and dramatic land forms we have ever encountered," Coore noted.
Coore and Crenshaw ultimately were responsible for the 18-hole Red Course, while Doak was in charge of the Blue Course.
"This is such a good piece of land for golf," he said. "The variety of contours created by the mining process allowed us to create a layout unlike any other," Doak said.
Streamsong Red was recently tabbed as Golf Magazine's "Best New Course You Can Play" for 2012. The clubhouse includes 12 guest rooms, a steakhouse themed restaurant, pro shop, and 4,500 of meeting and banquet space. Restaurant Fifty-Nine is open to the public seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The main lodge is presently under construction, and Mosaic officials are targeting a completion date in November. It will include 216 rooms, a conference center, full-service spa, lakeside pool, casual and fine dining, hiking and birding trails, guided bass fishing and a sporting clays range.
When fully up and running, the resort is expected to employ more than 300 people.

The power of attorney may be recorded in the hearing by a declaration to be entered in the record and signed or thumb printed by the client.
Article 49 : Whatever the attorney-in-fact declares in the presence of the client shall in effect be a declaration by the client himself unless the client denies it in the same hearing during consideration of the case.

Chapter II: Absence of Litigant(s)
Article 53 : If the plaintiff is absent from a court hearing without an excuse acceptable to the court, the case shall be stricken off. Afterward, he may, depending on the circumstances, request continued consideration of the case, in which case the court shall schedule a hearing for such consideration and notify defendant. If plaintiff is again absent without an excuse acceptable to the court, the case shall be stricken off and it may be heard again only by a decision of the permanent panel of the Supreme Judicial Council.
Article 54 : In both situations set forth under the preceding article, if the defendant attends the hearing from which the plaintiff is absent, the defendant may ask the court not to strike off the case and to adjudge on the merits thereof if the case is ripe for judgment, in which instance the court shall adjudge the case and the judgment shall be considered a default [judgment] with respect to plaintiff.
Article 55 : If the defendant is absent from the first hearing, consideration of the case shall be postponed to a subsequent hearing of which the defendant shall be notified. If he is absent from this hearing or from another hearing without an excuse acceptable to the court, the court shall adjudge the case and its judgment shall be considered a default [judgment] with respect to the defendant, unless defendant's absence was after the closing of argument, in which case the judgment shall be considered in his presence.

Chapter I: Hearing Procedure
Article 59 : The record clerk shall each day prepare a list of the cases for that day arranged in the order of the hours scheduled for their consideration.

Article 63 : The judge shall ask the plaintiff with regard to whatever is required to plead his case prior to questioning the defendant. He may not dismiss the case to correct a pleading, nor may he proceed with the case, prior to that.
Article 64 : If the defendant categorically refuses to answer or gives answers that are not relevant to the case, the judge shall repeat the request for a correct answer three times in the same hearing. If the defendant persists, the judge shall warn him and then consider him to have declined, and shall proceed with the case in accordance with the Shari'ah rules.
Article 65 : If either party presents a valid defense and requests a reply from the other party who asks for time for that purpose, the judge may grant him time if he deems it necessary, but time may not be granted again for the same answer except for a legitimate reason acceptable to the judge.
Article 66 : Proceedings shall close upon the litigants concluding their arguments. Nevertheless, the court may, before announcing its judgment, and for proper cause, reopen argument on its own or at the request of a litigant and docket the lawsuit again.
Article 67 : Litigants may, in whatever form the case may be, ask the court to enter whatever acknowledgement, settlement, or suchlike agreed between them in the court record and the court shall issue a deed to that effect.

Article 76 : The court on its own may order the joinder of whoever it feels should be joined in the following circumstances:
• A person who is linked to an adversary by the bonds of partnership, right, or indivisible obligation.
• An heir of the plaintiff or defendant or an owner in common with either of them if the case involves an estate in the first instance or a common ownership in the second.

The court shall set a time for the appearance of whoever it orders joined, and the normal summons procedure shall be followed.
Article 77 : Any person having an interest may intervene in the case by joining a litigant or requesting a judgment for himself on a matter related to the case.

(CNN) – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's response to the superstorm that blasted his state appears to have won the outspoken Republican higher approval ratings, according to a poll released Monday.
The survey from Fairleigh Dickinson University showed Christie with an already-high approval rating of 56% among registered voters before the storm hit New Jersey in early November. The same respondents were polled after the storm, and Christie's approval rating jumped to 77%.
Christie saw a similar increase in the number of people who say he's doing an "excellent" or "good" job as governor. Before the storm, 55% held that view. After Sandy, 70% said he was doing an "excellent" or "good" job.
The spike in approval for Christie's job performance came largely from Democrats, 26% of whom approved of him before the storm. That rate jumped to 67% afterwards. Christie was a top surrogate for GOP nominee Mitt Romney during the presidential campaign, and came under fire from some Republicans following Romney's loss for his appearances with President Barack Obama during the storm's aftermath.
"Much like Governor Christie's embrace of the support the state received from President Obama in the days after the storm, Democratic respondents approve of Christie for his leadership, at least for now" said Krista Jenkins, director of Fairleigh Dickinson's PublicMind polling center.
Christie is up for re-election in November 2013, though hasn't said yet whether he'll run for a second term.
The poll gauging Christie's approval rating was first conducted October 26-29, and again from November 13-18, by telephone from 241 registered voters in New Jersey. The sampling error was plus or minus 6.3 percentage points.

Given $a_1,b_1,c_1$ in $F_2[t]$ with $\gcd(a_1,b_1,c_1)=1$ it is known that there exists an element $g$ of $SL(3, F_2[t])$ (by explicit construction) such that $g$ has first line $$ [a_1^2, b_1,c_1], $$ in particular this works when $a_1^2$ is in the ideal $(b_1,c_1)$ generated by $a_1$ and $b_1$ in $F_2[t].$
Question: It is possible to extend in the above manner the following line $L$ to an element of $SL(3, F_2[t])$
$$ L =[1+a,b,c] $$ where $a,b,c \in F_2[t]$ with $\gcd(1+a,b,c)=1$ and with $$ a^2 \in (b,c). $$
The case when $\gcd(b,c)=1$ is trivial since $1+a = M^2+ t N^2$ and $tN^2 \in (b,c)$ in these case.
The question (for a general characteristic $2$ ring R) appears in page $14$ of
while the explicit construction described above appears in page $12.$

28th Cruisin Nationals - Coastal Cruisin'Written by on October 1, 2009 The 28th Cruisin' Nationals Hits California's Central Coast
Do you remember years ago, before rat rods, before 95 percent of the nostalgia movement had gathered steam, before satin paint and primer, when the Cruisin' Nationals was about kustoms? If you do you would have thought you'd stepped back in time at this year's event, the 28th Cruisin' Nationals. Okay so the venue's changed, but not for the first time. There are way more cars and public in attendance, and the quality of some of the cars would have been unattainable not so long ago, but this year's show was definitely a kustom aficionado's dream weekend.
Some lessons had obviously been learned since last year's move to Santa Maria Fairpark, most notably the number of food vendors. Outside the fairgrounds it was great to see, and participate in, cruising on Broadway in front of the host hotel on Friday and Saturday nights. Though not a sanctioned block-the-main-street-to-regular-traffic cruise (that's in the planning stages for the future), there was plenty of laid-back impromptu cruising, including many local lowriders and VWs, as well as a smattering of muscle cars, making for fun evenings before and after dinner.
West Coast Kustoms did organize a countryside cruise early on Friday evening to Casmalia, while plenty of people were content to kick back at the Santa Maria Inn or on the surrounding sidewalks and motel parking lots, watching the cruisers roll by. A number of people said they'd not go to Santa Maria when the event moved there, claiming it'd be just another fairgrounds show, but to those we can only say "too bad, you missed a great show and a better time." Check out the pictures and make your own mind up. We'll be back, make no mistake!

While the ratio of rods to customs very definitely fell in favor of the latter, one of the nicest rods in attendance was Barbara Bennett's '32 roadster. We especially liked the exhausts curved to match the contour of the framerails on this traditionally styled Deuce.Looking totally different in the sunlight compared to the last time we saw Brian Everett's Slither indoors at the Sacramento Autorama, the paint really blazed when the sun finally came out!We can confirm this blown Hemi-fied, slick-shod, show-style phaeton is a driver, 'cos we saw it cruising Broadway on Friday night.Paul Hernandez spent a lot of time modifying the grille and fabricating that bumper-come-front valance on his '57 Buick hardtop. And yes, it's a four door, something we're seeing more and more of.There's a whole heap of subtle work gone into Bill Story's '56 Ford wagon, from the shaved handles and louvered hood to the use of a Mustang windshield in the tailgate, eliminating the window frame. It was heading straight to the upholstery shop after the show.When I walked around the barn and saw Ron Eastman's A roadster I came over all nostalgic for my own similar A. The big difference is the blower perched atop Ron's Flathead. Check out the neat exhaust route treatment too.There really isn't much you need to do to a mid-Fifties Buick other than an altitude alteration. Ryan and Angela Cavitt did just that to their '56 Century, added a tube grille, Caddy 'caps and copper paint, and they're good to go.Brandon Flaner's '39 Ford coupe looked like the real deal because it was, discovered and sympathetically restored without losing it's old-school (and I use that term in its real meaning!) hot rod charm.
There were a number of cars present that had driven down from British Columbia, including Dave York's olive-hued '49 shoebox, with its front end treatment reminiscent of Keith Weesner's ride.Another hoodless kustom. But who wouldn't want to show off that tri-carbed small-block? For the longest time '35s have been subject to almost mandatory '36 front sheetmetal swaps, and it's great to see Joe Arreguin retaining that stock tin up front. Don't wrap it, I'll drive it home thanks!Terry Wallace's '39 coupe is on its second paint job since completion, Black Cherry with red pearl to help it pop in the sun. It's also a Ford running a strong Ford motor, backed up by Moser axles as Terry plans to drag race it occasionally. Yeah!It's hard to beat the classic "chopped Merc with DeSoto grille" formula, and when it's executed as well as Lars' gold '51, it's easy to see why. Hood scoops, stainless side trim and extended and frenched headlights give it personal identity.You've got to look awful hard to see the '54 Chevy underneath all those modifications and if it weren't for the bodyline on the front fenders and doors we're not sure you'd see it at all! Robert Acosta is the man responsible for this moved-metal masterpiece.Accented with chrome reverse rims and a chrome grille, Ralph Gonzales' bright satin orange '51 F1 screamed for attention. The pure white interior-sheetmetal, upholstery et all-was the perfect complementary color choice.Conrad Garcia certainly wowed the troops with the paint treatment on Blue Mambo. Those silver flames, which cover the whole car, are actually bare metal hit with a softpad on a grinder, then masked off and clear-coated once the blue was applied. Which also means no filler was used anywhere, including on that hard-topped roof chop. Think about that. Good work fella!While the La Salle grille is prime kustom fodder, Wolfgang Krew used the whole '37 La Salle and built a killer ride using a 509 big-block Caddy mill, Fatman MII IFS and 12-bolt rearend with airbags all round. The brandywine paint is gorgeous, but it's those sidepipes that slay me. Just fantastic.
They're not chrome reverse rims but silver-painted steels with trim rings, perfectly setting off the lavender paint on Pat Jeter's '31 A pickup. The shorty bed, spun tank and slicks give off a drag vibe, and Pat was stoked to be among the award recipients.Brian Nieri's Phat Caddy, a '57 Coupe de Ville that has received a 4-inch chop, '57 Stude fins, '48 Chevy rear window, custom dash and numerous other body mods thanks to Frank De Rosa Sr. and Jr., was coated in HoK Pagan Gold, but being parked under a shade tree meant we never got to see its full effect.It was worth the wait for Frank and Louise Ledesma to close the hood on their '48 Buick to bring you a picture of this understated metallic green beauty. With a modern tan interior they have the best of both worlds.Black Cherry, dark metallic purple, or whatever you want to call it, seemed to be one of the stronger color choices at Santa Maria this year, and what better to cover Tom Gomez's sliced '47 Chevy coupe, showcasing the flawless bodywork underneath.Hoodless kustoms seem to be a growing trend, and while it bridges the gap to hot rods, it does interrupt the flow of the lines. It's the same reason kustoms look better displayed with doors and hoods closed at indoor shows. That said, this '37 Chevy was lookin' good.

For an unknown reason, my Ubuntu workstation decided to do a partial upgrade to Oneiric (I had originally ignored the upgrade). After several reboots and running
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
each time, I was finally able to boot my system and have X start GDM as normal. However, I noticed that a lot of packages were missing, including the default theme, firefox, and who knows what else. I've already lost my whole afternoon, so how can I get my computer back to where it was? Why in the world did this happen?

I was looking for a game that my son and I could play together on our xbox. I picked out the game Madden NFL 11. My son asked "Are you sure we can do multi player on the same xbox?" I told him that I thought so, but I better check before I open the game.
Is it possible for us to play together using the same console?

Signing of WDC 2014 marks World Industrial Design Day
Leon Jamarie
With a passion for travel, tourism and social media, Cape Town is the quintessential backdrop for Media Developer Leon Jamarie and his cape adventures.
With the City as his canvass Leon paints the town red covering a range of events and activities in the peninsular while staying true to the traditional culture the mother city offers it's children,
Originally from Durban, Leon is still an accidental tourist in the city he now calls home and as such is on the line between resident and local tourist able to provide inside knowledge and flavour to the average mundane travel blog.
He is always on the look out for that hidden gem or typical CT party. If it's fun, relevant, he will cover it.
Cape Town has marked World Industrial Design day by signing a host city agreement between the City of Cape Town and the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid), confirming Cape Town as the World Design Capital for 2014.
At a ceremony held in Cape Town on Friday, June 29, Icsid President Soon-In Lee explained that WDC is not a template, but a model, a guide and a platform, allowing cities to adapt to their needs. He went on to say that WDC 2014 is about transforming and redesigning urban life by providing real solutions for real problems in Cape Town and the developing world. He concluded by stating that it was an exciting time for not only Cape Town, but Africa as well.
Mayor Patricia de Lille echoed his sentiments, "The central thesis of the City of Cape Town's approach to WDC 2014. Excellence in design is using what you have to realise what you want. It is designing the change we want to see in our city, using the very building blocks of which our city is comprised. By using design, we could transform housing developments into desirable homes that hold value for the poor, as home ownership does for the middle-class. We could be smarter about how we use the space in our urban centres, creating vibrant, liveable spaces which can be extended as needed. We don't build cities in the ideal mode and expect them to remain that way. Cities grow organically.
"Design is not about central planning. It is about networks that jointly make up an attitude, an approach and a direction. The task of transforming the city is one that requires the energies of as many partners as possible, within our borders and without. We sign WDC 2014 on behalf of those partners. And we sign on behalf of the people of Cape Town."
"It was a competitive bid decision to name Cape Town as WDC 2014," said judging panelist Dilki de Silva. She said that it was not about winners and losers but "...about choosing a city at the right time when [it] is able to show its accomplishments and work together".
The new WDC 2014 logo was also unveiled during the ceremony. Looking ahead to 2014, the Icsid will organise, in collaboration with Cape Town, a number of signature events, galas, conferences and a design week during World Design Capital 2014.

TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Lottery announced today that it will add MEGA MILLIONS® to its portfolio of games starting on May 15, 2013.
Florida will become the 43rd state to join the multi-state lottery game. Though the Florida Lottery offers one of the strongest lotto games in the nation and is the top-selling POWERBALL® state, it is the only state lottery that does not currently participate in the MEGA MILLIONS game.
MEGA MILLIONS sales in Florida are expected to raise millions of additional dollars for education and increase commissions to the Lottery's more than 13,000 retailers, the majority of which are small, independently-owned businesses.
MEGA MILLIONS was created in May 2002 when the Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Virginia Lotteries joined together to form the multi-state game. On March 30, 2012, MEGA MILLIONS made history with the world's largest jackpot of $656 million. The jackpot was split three ways, to winners in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland.
MEGA MILLIONS jackpots start at $12 million, and drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. ET in Atlanta, GA. Players choose six numbers, and there are nine exciting ways to win in the game.
"The Florida Lottery prides itself on being responsive to our players and retailers and the addition of MEGA MILLIONS to our product mix is something they have requested for many years," said Florida Lottery Secretary Cynthia O'Connell. "The additional revenue MEGA MILLIONS will generate for education makes this a winning decision."
Currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Florida Lottery has placed greater emphasis on strengthening its product offerings by continuously introducing new games to appeal to Florida's diverse population and through enhancements to some of its core games.
Moving forward, the Lottery will strive to provide players with the best lottery games available so that we may remain a dependable contributor to education in our state.

I am a senior student doing a Computer Science degree. At the moment I have to be working on my advanced final project thus I have alot of software development concepts to grasp in short period. When I do research and I am looking at the multiple topics and systems that I have to learn and become acquainted with I become extremely stressed out instantly. I have no problem with learning these things because I do love Computer Science however I don't understand the reason I am feeling so stressed about it, what should I do?
1) try to look at them one concept a time and intentionally forgetting about all the other topics at the moment
2) give every topic a time frame say you give link list 3 hours to study. not giving them time frame will increase stress and tension.
3) In 3 hours of linklist you lists down the topics you need to study for example what is link list? how it is implemented. different type of list and how are they implemented etc. don't try to go beyond those topics you have listed and 3 hours period.
4) while studing i think that making a weekly timetable is ideal of where you want to be a the end of each week.
5) lastly don't procastinate it will make things worse and remember you can't gobble all the topics in one night so just start working because slow and steady wins the race.
Just separate between learning a new concept and memorizing a new concept.
Learning a new concept involves you understanding what it does and how to do it.
TL,DR: Read everything and try to understand but only memorize key facts.
Lets take the example linked list.
First read through your material (e.g. LinkedList). Then try to answer questions like:
You do not have to memorize these.
Then you have to understand what you have to memorize. I think it is important to have a vivid image of the concept and a few key words like in Top Trumps.
In this example it would look something like this:
Linked List:
You should be able to remember the picture and all the keywords. Furthermore you should be able to remember every value for a given keyword.
The keywords and values depend on the typical questions you might get in tests.
When I do research and I am looking at the multiple topics and systems that I have to learn and become acquainted with I become extremely stressed out instantly
perhaps, knowing that you HAVE to do something takes some fun out of it? If I tell my son "you HAVE to eat this ice cream right now!" - guess what would be his response?
so, instead of taking this as a job to do, try a little re-framing - imagine this new thing as a new toy you just got; naturally you would be eager to explore it and play with it and so on

According to ESPN's Mel Kiper, Mizzou QB Blaine Gabbert's draft stock has begun "slipping" heading into the Scouting Combine.
According to Kiper, Gabbert's fall has occurred after NFL teams did "more film work" on the underclassman's junior year. It's true that Gabbert did not dominate his competition in 2010, throwing for 16 touchdowns compared to nine picks and averaging an unimpressive 6.71 yards per attempt. Gabbert was much better as a sophomore. The Combine starts on February 24.
Did these NFL teams simply not watch college football until now?
I wouldn't be surprised if he falls to the late 1st round.
Pete Carroll may take a chance on him however. He may count on Hasselback for another year o two and get Gabbo ready for the future.
I still don't think he makes it past the Titans. They need a QB.
no shit
Holy ****, order is restored to the world.
Could he go Vikings, maybe?
One thing people have to keep in mind is that NFL Scouts haven't seen Gabbert until now. His rise up draft boards has been 100% due to draftniks, which of course doesn't amount to much considering 90% of them have no clue when it comes to real evaluations - scouts inc. included
NFL teams probably don't lift a finger to do anything draft related until their season's over, and even then it's a very slow process.
Give it a few weeks, the same thing will happen with Da'Quan Bowers.

Arkansas hasn't had many opportunities to celebrate touchdowns lately, reaching the end zone twice in its past three games.
So Arkansas fullback Kiero Small said the Razorbacks spent some time enjoying those moments when they came during Tuesday's practice.
"When we scored, like we had red zone (Tuesday), and when we scored everybody went down and celebrated in the end zone," Small said. "That's one of the things we did in the spring when practice wasn't going so good or if practice was down, we did that in the spring. It got everybody upbeat. We started having a good time."
It's a small thing, but Arkansas (3-5, 0-4 in Southeastern Conference) hopes it pays off as they try to fix the flaws that have plagued the offense the past several weeks. The Razorbacks enter their bye week after being shut out by Alabama and South Carolina for seven consecutive quarters. It's part of a three-game stretch in which Arkansas has been outscored 134-17 by Florida, Alabama and South Carolina.
The struggles have made Arkansas the SEC's lowest-scoring team in conference play (12.5 points) at the halfway point. The 17 points in three games also is Arkansas' lowest total since managing 13 over that same period to end the 1995 season.
But Small and the rest of the Razorbacks said the key is moving forward, finding a way to eliminate mistakes, execute and get into the end zone.
"It's disappointing because throughout the week and how we're doing things, we seem like we're making some headway we're just not getting the results on the field yet that we need to be able to get," Arkansas offensive coordinator Jim Chaney said.
Chaney said everything is being evaluated this week as Arkansas tries to end the drought. But it appears the coaching staff has tried to lighten the mood as well.
Small said Arkansas coach Bret Bielema wanted players to get back to basics and "remember the first time you played football" as they try to snap out of the offensive funk. That included some celebrating when they reached the end zone Tuesday.
"It was a lot of fun, getting everybody laughing, celebrating after a touchdown," running back Alex Collins said. "Just get the spirits going out there in practice."
2. No Change Up Front
Arkansas has plenty to evaluate on offense this week as it tries to crawl out of its funk. But offensive line coach Sam Pittman said it won't include any personnel changes for the starting group up front.
Pittman said the unit of right tackle Brey Cook, right guard Denver Kirkland, center Travis Swanson, left guard Dan Skipper and left tackle David Hurd remains the right group to move forward with as the Razorbacks look ahead to Auburn.
The five has started three straight games together.
"I think we have the right people in the right place," Pittman said. "We just have to keep playing and getting better and we've got the get the ball in the end zone somehow. Whether that's being a little better in protection or a little better in the run or whatever it is, throwing it and catching it better, whatever it may be, we've got to do that. Certainly we had a good practice (Tuesday), so I think we're headed in the right direction. It was a bye week time that we needed."
3. Allen Sits
Allen didn't throw during Tuesday's practice. Chaney said it wasn't out of necessity, but the Razorbacks wanted to use the start of the bye week as a chance for the sophomore to get some rest for this throwing shoulder.
"Any time you get a little bit of rest when we can like (Tuesday) is something that is needed and it should be full-go (today)," Allen said.
It also gave Arkansas a chance to get more work for backup quarterbacks AJ Derby, Austin Allen and Damon Mitchell. Chaney said the three "did OK" on Tuesday.
"We played all three of the other kids that are non-starters (Tuesday) and I thought they did a nice job," Chaney said.
4. Thomas On Don James
College football lost a legend earlier this week when long-time Washington coach Don James passed away at the age of 80. James — who coached Alabama's Nick Saban and Missouri's Gary Pinkel while at Kent State earlier in his career — led Washington to a 153-58-2 record from 1975-92.
James also had an impact on Arkansas running backs coach Joel Thomas, who is a native of Port Angeles, Wash., and played college football at Idaho.
"He was one of the reasons I loved college football," Thomas said Tuesday. "What he did at the University of Washington, that's how I got the itch to play college football."
Thomas also coached at Washington from 2009-12 before coming to Arkansas.
"Obviously I got the chance to know him when I coached out there. It's sad. He is a legend in the lives that he touched, but he is in a better place now."

This question already has an answer here:

Should I say:
When I am 18, I'll take my driving test
When I'll be 18, I'll take my driving test
Which one is the correct sentence?
This question already has an answer here:
Should I say:
Which one is the correct sentence?
marked as duplicate by RegDwigнt♦ Feb 28 '13 at 11:16
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
If 'when' is used to indicate a context in the future, the 'will' becomes redundant and 'when' is followed by the present form of whatever verb.
In this case: when + subject + present simple , subject + future simple
When I know the answer, I'll call you
When he leaves for work, I'll telephone.
Of the two sentences asked about, the first is correct and the second is incorrect.
You can also say "When I turn 18, I'll take my driving test".
You don't need "will" in both clauses, only the main clause (the second one in all these cases).
English has no future tense, but can express the future in several different ways. Will (or, in speech, 'll) + the plain form of the main verb is one of them and is typically used to make a prediction or to express a decision about the immediate a future. For this reason, it is clearly not appropriate in your example.
Another way in which English expresses the future is by using the present tense, and this is typically used to talk about future certainties. In the example, the speaker thinks that being 18 one day is a certainty, and that is why the present tense is used.
When I am 18, I'll take my driving test
would be the correct sentence structure
Although both clauses imply future tense, "will" is not used in the clause starting by "when". Then the first sentence is correct, the second is not.

Looking at the wikipedia articles, they seemed to be winning (the Battle of Custoza and the naval battle of Lissa), and the war against Prussia was already finished. So why did it still cede Venetia to Italy?
One answer is the battle of Koeniggratz, against Bismarck's Prussia, which Austria-Hungary lost.
Bismarck looked for allies in his war against Austria-Hungary, and found a ready "taker" in Italy, who wanted Venezia, and had previously been allied with France (and gotten Lombardy out of the bargain). The Italian participation occupied enough of the Austrian army to enable Prussia to beat Austria-Hungary further north.
Austria-Hungary then sued for peace, with France's Napoleon III as mediator. Up to that time, France had seen the Hapsburgs as their main rival in European affairs, and therefore mediated against Austria-Hungary, and in favor of Italy. (Austria-Hungary surrendered Venetia to France, who returned it to the newly-emerging Italian state, a move that was supported by Prussia.)

Doug Robinson: Boys basketball team holds ball for the entire fourth quarter to send a message
Something strange and possibly unprecedented occurred in a recent high school basketball game between the South Sevier Rams and the Wasatch Academy Tigers. At the outset of the fourth quarter, the visiting Rams decided to employ a new strategy:
They did nothing.
They held the ball.
For virtually the entire fourth quarter.
They placed players in each corner of the half court and another player at midcourt and stood there watching the minutes drain off the clock. They didn't dribble, they didn't pass, they didn't attack the basket. They just stood there while Wasatch's defense remained packed in a zone around the basket. Some fans left the game or yelled, "Play ball!" Some players carried on a conversation with opposing players, waiting for the game to end.
Oh, there's one other detail: The Rams — the team that was stalling — trailed by 17 points.
They finally made a couple of passes and attacked the basket — with 15 seconds left in the game. Final score: Wasatch Academy 52, South Sevier 35.
We've heard of stalling by a team with a lead — but who does that when they're losing? By 17.
"I've been doing this a long time and I've never seen anything like that," says Wasatch Academy coach Geno Morgan, who considered coming out of the zone and attacking the Rams' four-corners stall — but why would he do that when his team has a 17-point lead?
What was going on? "I've heard they were trying to make a point to the state about us," says Morgan.
It turns out that was exactly what was happening. The small-town schools that comprise 2A competition are exasperated with the emergence of Wasatch Academy, a 139-year-old private boarding school in Mount Pleasant that is beating Utah teams by an average score of 78-42. A cinch to defend their state championship, the Tigers are 19-1, their lone loss being a one-point decision to a team from Florida. The Tigers are so good that they have trouble filling out their schedule with Utah teams because, given the option, no one wants to play them; nine of their games have been against out-of-state schools.
After watching his team lose to Wasatch Academy 48-23 eight days earlier, Rams coach Rhett Parsons set several team goals for last week's rematch — fewer than 18 turnovers, hold the Tigers to fewer than 60 points, outrebound Wasatch, score more points than they did in the first game. Winning wasn't even mentioned. After trailing by only 10 points at halftime, the Rams fell behind by 17 in the third quarter, so Parsons told his players to sit on the ball the rest of the game.
"I didn't think they'd sit back in a zone and let the clock run out, which was fine with me," says Parsons. "We'd met our goals as a team; I don't see any sense in losing by 40 points, which is what they are winning by."
As Parsons talked, it became clear there was more to the weird strategy than that. "We were trying to make a statement to everyone," he says. "They've made a mockery of 2A, small-town basketball. We've got these kids who have dreamed of playing for a state championship with their classmates since they were playing on the playground in elementary school. Now we have this team that is just dominating things."
It's not that the Tigers are dominating that irritates rivals; it's how they are dominating. Traditionally, 2A (and 1A) competition consists of schools in small towns whose rosters are filled with players who live in their boundaries. This is dictated by the vast distances between schools, if nothing else. Now along comes Wasatch Academy, an expensive private boarding school with players from Canada, Nigeria, France, Illinois and Utah.

Looking for recommendations. Have a file in a document library with name x.txt. In a workflow code behind, I need to get the file to read its contents. What is the best/most efficient way to do this? Was thinking a linq query on the SPList.Item collection but might be off.
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you have the list, you could get your item like this
If you use linq to object, you always retrieve ALL records from DB. It is not good if you have got a lot of data. To reduce records you can use CAML query:
In this case items are selected from DB by query and then you can get first item.

In $\mathbb{R}^3$, let $h$ be the height function of a torus standing vertically on the top of the table. A critical point of a function is those point where the differential of the function is a zero vector. But how do I show this $h$ has four critical points? I think I should need a differential structure on torus, and then I can do the composition of $h$ and the coordinate function, thus allowing me to take partial derivative in the usual sense. But, I only know that the torus is the product manifold of $S^1$ and $S^1$. I don't know how to use that knowledge to come up with a workable local coordinate chart on this specific problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
P.S. Why is the formula not properly displayed on my laptop? All I see is source code. I use Chrome.

That which we say an Avel (person in mourning) is among the people that need "shmirah" (Someone to be with them - See Gemorah Brachos 54b at the bottom) is this also on Shabbos? Normally we say that Yisael doesn't need "shmirah" on Shabbos since the Shabbos itself protects them.

The SA HaRav in OC Siman 267 Sif 5 writes that we don't end of the bracha of "Hashkivanu" Friday night (before Shemoneh Esrei) with the ending "Shomer Amo Yisrael" like we do during the week because Yisrael (as a whole) doesn't need "Shmirah" on Shabbos. The Shabbos itself is what "guards" us. However he does say at the end of the sif that a Yachid does need Shmirah on Shabbos.
From here we could say then that those mentioned in the Gemorah in Brachos Daf 54b that need "Shmirah" would need not only during the week but also on Shabbos.

I am interested in trying to incorporate wild sassafras (roots, mostly) into my cooking. I have established definitively that the plants are sassafras, and not something else, so I'm not worried about accidentally picking the wrong thing. However, I was reading up on it, and Wikipedia seems to think that the plant can be poisonous. How true is this? Is there a way to ensure safety in my cooking (beyond scrapping the project altogether)?
I have been cooking with sassafras roots for years, all wild, as taught by my Indian Lore classes in scouting, and what I teach to current scouts. I also have taught specific recipes with the leaves, but only as flavoring in steaming and such, never eating (not for harm or issues, but because of the bitter aftertaste of the leaves)
As far as your actual questions:
For 1, I would have to say that they are true, but also clinical, and I have not been able to discover any documentation that sassafras directly harms humans, only that some of the compounds found in sassafras are harmful at higher levels, and given that the plants are wild, the concentration levels are unknown.
For 2, I would say that one standard root (approx 6 inches in length of varying circumferences) is good for about a half of a gallon to a gallon of water, boiled 2 to three times. If you want a concentrated flavor, boil the water down, and you will get a more potent mixin liquid. (also used for making beers, and ales - ginger ale included, both alcoholic and non alcoholic)

Also, always have your pet checked by your veterinarian before starting any weight loss program.
[ Back to Top ]
It is a good idea to start at the low end of the suggested amount, monitor your pet's weight for several weeks, then adjust the amount fed accordingly.
Also consider what else your pet may eat. If your pet typically gets table scraps, treats, and a "little something to make the food taste better," these are other reasons your pet is gaining excess weight. The calories in "little extras" add up very quickly.
[ Back to Top ]
First, weight reduction diets generally have less fat and more fiber, resulting in a food that is less energy dense. This allows for a greater loss of body fat than simply feeding smaller amounts of a high-fat diet. This is because fat contains over twice as many calories as protein and carbohydrates, and the less energy dense foods tend to produce satiety (a feeling of being full) at a lower level of calorie intake. In addition, more energy is used in digesting and absorbing lower-fat, higher-fiber diets. Finally, weight reduction diets contain the proper amount of vitamins and minerals per serving size. By feeding less of your pet's regular food, you are also decreasing the level of protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your pet receives. These differences could be eliminated by using supplements, but using a food more specifically balanced for weight loss requires less guess work.
[ Back to Top ]
First, feel for your dog's ribs. You should be able to feel the ribs quite easily. There should be a slight amount of fat over them, but each rib should be distinct. If you can see the ribs, your dog is too thin. If you cannot feel them at all, your dog is very overweight.
Second, check the area near the base of your dog's tail. There should be a small amount of fat covering this area and it should feel smooth overall. If the bones protrude, your dog is too thin; if you cannot feel any bones at all, your dog is very overweight.
Third, feel other bony prominences on the dog's body such as the spine, shoulders, and hips. Again, you should be able to feel a small amount of fat over these areas. If these bones are easily felt or visible, your dog is too thin. If you cannot feel the bones beneath the layer of fat, your dog is obviously overweight.
Fourth, look at your dog from above. (If your dog has long hair, it may be easier and more accurate to check your dog when he is wet-after a bath or a swim.) Your dog should have a definite waist behind the ribs. If the waist is extreme or if bony prominences are visible, your dog is too thin. If there is no waist, or worse yet, the area between the ribs and hips is wider than the hips or ribs, your dog is grossly overweight.
Fifth, look at your dog from the side. Dogs should have an abdominal tuck, i.e., the area behind the ribs should be smaller in diameter than the chest. This can vary a lot between breeds. Some dog breeds such as Irish Setters and Greyhounds, for instance, appear to have a much more distinct abdominal tuck, since they are so deep-chested. A dog who is too thin will have a very severe abdominal tuck. Overweight dogs will have no abdominal tuck.

I'm using a kubuntu liveUSB with persistence. It's possible to update the liveUSB itself, such that the updates persist. However, the update packages aren't used for installation, as far as I can tell. Is there any way of updating the packages on the install image, such that on the next install, those packages don't need to be re-downloaded?
I'd just try with an updated copy of the LiveUSB (keep the one that works in case anything breaks), the persistent files should all be user data files (no changes in the LiveUSB to those) or local configuration (unless the distribution has changed radically, they should continue working just the same). Check which files are newer than the ones on the USB stick (
Oh, and please answer your own question if it works/breaks, with the exact versions you used.

I am making use of an available API to send requests and receive the results which is in json and xml formats. I am able to do so but how do I display the returned data properly?
I used json_decode and assign the xml data to an array and print_r those. It shows up in a huge junk of data.
How do I show it on a table form? Or must I save the data into individual files or database first before displaying?
I am new to PHP, thus not sure how to implement this.

The Super Eagles won the continental title by beating Burkina Faso on Sunday, but their boss has promptly left his post, claiming he was doing what he felt was "right"Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has announced his resignation from the post just a day after winning the 2013 African Cup of Nations.
The 51-year-old's future had been subject to speculation throughout the tournament, and he has now revealed that he gave the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) his notice shortly after the final win over Burkina Faso.
"I did what I feel is right by resigning," he told Metro FM.
"I gave the NFF a letter last night [Sunday] after the celebrations."
Keshi made 51 appearances for the Super Eagles as a player, and has held coaching posts with the Togolese and Malian national teams.

As new patient, you will receive several tests to help determine your cancer diagnosis. The following information will help you understanding the various tests we employ. If you have any questions, please speak with your physician.
The stage of a cancer tells whether the disease has spread and how far. The stage of your cancer will be an important factor in determining what treatment options are available to you.
When determining the stage of a cancer, doctors consider where the tumor is in the body, tumor size, number of tumors, and whether the lymph nodes (part of the body's disease-fighting lymphatic system) are involved. They also look at the type and shape of the cancer cells and whether the disease has spread to other parts of the body.
Staging systems may be different for various types of cancer. For many cancers, however, the stages range from 0 to IV. These numbers generally mean:
Staging is important because it helps the doctor plan the patient's treatment and predict how well the patient will respond to treatment. Staging also helps the doctor find clinical trials (research studies with people) that may be suitable for the patient.

Two little girls were rescued by authorities in Wisconsin, after police say their foster mother allegedly beat them; but police might never have found out if it hadn't been for a faulty security system.
A neighbor watched through his own wireless security system, as images of children he didn't know came through to his monitor. After seeing them get hit repeatedly, he called authorities.
While the problems with the security system worked to help someone in need, it also means if you're using a wireless security system, it's possible your neighbors could accidentally be getting video from your house, without you knowing it.
Tony Plasse, a systems engineer from AAA Systems in Bowling Green, says one of the most risky things you can buy is the do-it-yourself wireless security kits you can find on the internet or in stores.
He says with those systems, there's a possibility someone could pick up your signal, just like a wireless phone, and although digital wireless systems do provide more security than the old analog systems, we're told if someone knows what they're doing, they still might be able to pick up your signal.
AAA Systems outfits many homes and businesses in the area with security systems, but closed circuit and remote, but they don't recommend their customers get wireless security systems.

Domestic violence. It�s older than the Bible and as fresh as the morning news.
No wonder composer Giuseppe Verdi said yes to Arrigo Boito�s libretto for an opera based on Shakespeare�s �Othello.� The story has all the ingredients of high drama � passionate love, raging jealousy, murder and suicide.
In 1603, there were no restraining orders when Shakespeare�s tale took to the stage. In 1887, when Verdi�s �Otello� premiered in Milan, his music heightened an already charged story of betrayal and madness. Take the opening storm scene, for example. The orchestra�s percussion section dominates and energizes everything. Later, Verdi�s incessant drums underscore Otello�s frenzy as he smothers his wife in a fit of rage. Not pretty, but powerful.
Set in the late 15th century, �Otello� begins with a roiling storm pummeling the shores of Cyprus. A decorated Venetian general and governor of the island, Otello returns with his triumphant fleet. They have defeated the hated Turks and life looks good.
But things turn sour quickly as Iago, Otello�s ensign, plots the general�s demise. One of the most thoroughly crafted villains in literature and opera, Iago seethes with hatred. Expecting advancement, he has been passed over for a younger, less intelligent man. Cassio, whom Iago disdains, will be promoted instead.
Throughout, we see Iago�s mind at work. Originally that was Shakespeare�s genius, and the Verdi-Boito collaboration employs that self-disclosing trope in the opera. He reveals his plot against Cassio and, ultimately, Otello.
First Iago instigates a fight between Cassio and Roderigo, a young man who happens to secretly love Otello�s beautiful wife, Desdemona. It doesn�t end well, and Otello retracts Cassio�s advancement. But Act I ends sweetly as husband and wife sing a love duet. It�s pure Verdi, soaring lines that spread out like wings and fold back again in delicious resolution. Sung by tenor Johan Botha and soprano Ren�e Fleming, life and opera are good.
Iago concocts more mischief in Act II. Apparently, Verdi thought of titling the opera �Iago,� but decided against it because of the fame of Shakespeare�s play. The German bass-baritone Falk Struckmann sings the role that drives the action. Some reviews say he steals the show.
Iago insinuates infidelity between Desdemona and poor Cassio with a simple ruse. Desdemona�s handkerchief, a gift from Otello, falls into the wrong hands. By the end of Act II, Otello believes Iago�s lies, and the great general turns on his wife.
Act III belongs to Otello and the handkerchief. He�s alternately consumed by anger, disbelief and self-pity as Desdemona�s betrayal seems true. In his desperation, Otello sings an extended version of �Why me?�
Venetian ambassadors arrive and call Otello back to the mainland and appoint Cassio governor. Musically complex and psychologically brilliant, the scene explodes when Otello loses control, hurls insults at everyone, shoves Desdemona to the floor and clears the room. Only Iago stands by with a conspiratorial smirk as the general collapses.
Act IV finds Desdemona in her bedchamber. She sings an aria about a forsaken woman then a prayer, the famous �Ave Maria,�and falls asleep. Otello enters and wakes her with a kiss, a prelude to one of the most horrific scenes in opera.
With news of Cassio killing Roderigo, Emilia, Desdemona�s handmaid, desperately enters and Iago�s plot is finally revealed. Otello recognizes Desdemona�s innocence and kills himself.
In this sumptuous revival of Elijah Moshinsky�s original 1994 staging, expect palatial rooms, period dress and a spectacular opening storm.

The Cape Minstrel Carnival: A celebration of freedom in the Mother City
The Cape Minstrel Carnival is open to all ages. Photo: Cape Town Tourism
Countries and cultures across the world have renewal rituals, parades and performances, carnivals and revelries that bring in a new season or new year, from Mardi Gras in Rio de Janeiro to the Lantern Festival in China.
The Mother City is no different, with the Cape Minstrel Carnival, the city's longest-running street party led by the Kaapse Klopse (Cape minstrels).
The celebration is rated the city's favourite festive season attraction on Facebook, and attracts hordes of participants and interested spectators every year.
Historically, January 2 was the one day Cape slaves were given off every year, and was marked by merrymaking and music.
Called Tweede Nuwe Jaar ("second new year") and celebrated to this day, the annual carnival sees minstrels and dancers making music down the streets of the Mother City.
Melvyn Matthews, director of the Kaapse Klopse Karnaval Association (KKKA), gave a explanation of this festive celebration in an interview with Mbali Vilakazi on Radio Workshop, a Children's Radio Foundation programme broadcast on SAfm every Saturday.
Matthews explained that the carnival is an expression of freedom that has withstood two world wars and apartheid, and that the uplifting music played symbolises a new beginning: "You go into this sense of freedom, relief and renewal. This was a renewal carnival in that whatever's happened in the past, this is a new year, tweede nuwe jaar, and a chance to start all over again."
The carnival is an act of reclaiming the city, even if only "for a short while", said Matthews. "As soon as you hit the streets you feel this euphoria and this sense of everyone belonging."
Cape clubs, choirs and music groups typically start practicing up to six months before the carnival.
John Edwin Mason, an associate professor at the University of Virginia, has written extensively about the early 19th century in South Africa, especially the history of slavery, and has now turned his attention to 20th century South African cultural and political history. His book, One Love, Ghoema Beat: Inside the Cape Town Carnival details the roots of the new year's celebration.
In his research, Mason notes how slaves were an important part of the Cape Town music scene. Even though slaves played European classical and popular music for their masters, they also performed for themselves, "drawing on Asian and African musical traditions".
"These enslaved musicians were in the process of creating a unique musical culture that borrowed from, reconfigured, and improvised on the music of Asia, Africa, and Europe," says Mason.
The first official carnival competition was organised by the all-white Green Point Cricket Club, says Mason, and was held at Cape Town's Green Point track on January 1, 1907. This competition was known as the Coloured Carnival, and provided the foundation for the minstrel troupe competitions of today.
The 2011 Cape Town Minstrel Carnival will take place on Saturday, January 1, and will see more than 10 000 performers marching their way through Cape Town, celebrating their heritage, and competing for various awards, some of which include the most flamboyant performance, the best dressed troupe and the best band. Please note that there will be road closures on the day of the carnival. Click here for further details of the road closures.

I've been reviewing derivations of the spherical harmonics in quantum mechanics; mostly as review but also to make sure I understand where the concepts arise from.
However, every derivation I've seen makes use of the following differential equation/ identity that seemingly comes from nowhere. I've not yet been able to figure out where it comes from in looking through various texts. So, here I am to ask: where does this come from?
$$\frac{d}{d\theta}+l cot(\theta) \equiv \frac{1}{(sin(\theta))^l} \frac{d}{d\theta}(sin(\theta)^l)$$
