I'd wait for Flamoctapus to vote first, then if he has any knowledge to drop that would potentially cause a vote change, wait on lizzardKing, otherwise call it.
I dislike small games like this, it's too easy for an active pack of Wolves or Lover duo to dominate the discussion and sway the inactive ones.
If I have the inclination later I'll go back and check through some of their other posts, I recommend you people do the same. You can even check out my posts while you're at it!
Hmm, this is true. Just swap around Dex and Byron and it still works though. I'll know for sure tonight, whether anyone believes me is another matter.
Sorry for my ausence been stuck in study time, I will try to not let it happen again, or notify if I have to boot.
Wow this as been interesting as hell, I don't know what to really think, so for time's sake I'll just vote to lynch flamoctopus and draw conclusions later
1) Clown - Dead
2) Flam -
3) DJ - Flam
4) Byron - Flam
5) ZP - Flam
6) Dex (Sheriff) - Flam
7) Lizzy - Flam
8 ) Noob - Dead
9) Bizarro - Flam
Flam - 7 votes
Waiting on Flam's vote
Do I wait?
No, you don't.
In my opinion.
Don't wait, there's nothing he can say tha'll change the votes
Agreed. I think there should be an agreement that if there is a majority vote for someone to be hanged and the only holdout voter is the one that would be hanged, then we should just go ahead and call it.
I could imagine that leading us to a bad place if we happened to vote to kill our Prophet/Seer/whatever, though I doubt that's the case here.
You've gotta roll with the punches, man.
I think it's difficult to come up with a hard rule to use. In this case, I think you're right. Flamoctapus did say something yesterday, and none if it looked like he had anything important to tell us. However, it may just have to be a case-by-case thing. And then if we do that (with the moderator deciding), we'll know if something is up in the case that the moderator decides not to call it.
Maybe we can have a second vote that says we should end the day phase, and then if enough people vote for that, we do it. But we only put that into effect after taking a third vote to see whether we should or not. Also, an electoral college should be established, to protect the small players.
Ok, the mob has spoken...
The campers dragged Flamoctapus outside to the nearest tree, they were pretty darn sure he was the one who had torn apart both Clown and Noobspoon and they wanted some rough, cabin in the woods style justice.
They all proceeded to silently kick the shit out of Flamoctapus, a continual barrage of feet came crashing into his body, he tried to protest his innocence but the only noise that the beating allowed to escape was intermittent screams of pain... that and an earth shattering wolf howl!
Initially stunned by the noise the mob backed off, giving Flam the time to begin transforming into a beast. However the campers rallied and took to hitting their former friend with hammers until his half transformed body lay lifeless on the floor...
Night roles PM me please
But I don't wanna go to hell.
Double Jeopardy!!!
Jesus, Muhammad, Abraham, Bizarro.
Spoiler!Who are Prophets
Another night passed and the "happy" campers emerged from their doomed cabin to witness the result of a bloodbath, for in front of them laid
the eviscerated remains of their friend ZombiePlatypus... however that wasn't all.
ZP had been keeping a gun on him every night, said gun was found near his corpse, it had been fired. A trail of blood led the gang further into the woods where they found a dying wolf, once it had taken its last breath it transformed back into Byronic Man.
"Nooooooooo!!!" came a yell from the cabin, the survivors turned round to find Dex sobbing uncontrollably. Before anyone could say a word he cut his own throat and fell to the floor, a picture of himself and Byronic embracing fell from his lifeless hand.
Looking around at all their dead friends, those that survived figured they should probably cut the holiday short and go home... why they hadn't done this earlier I don't know.
Here's all the roles:
Wolf 1: Byron
Wolf 2: Flam
Prophet: Bizarro
Guardian Angel: Dex
Vigilante: ZP
Cupid: Noob
Lover 1: Dex
Lover 2: Byron
Villager 1: Lizzy
Villager 2: Clown
Villager 3: DJ
Good work by Bizarro, although the prophet role turned out to be too powerful for a game this size methinks. Nevertheless he bided his time before blowing his cover and it totally paid off.
I don't think the lovers and wolves realised but when everyone else had voted for Flam your combined votes (Dex's sheriff vote, Byron and Flam) could have tied the lynch (opposing voters were ZP, DJ, Bizarro and Lizzy, so voting would have tied at 4-4), then the rules state that whoever the sheriff opted to lynch would die. You three could have all voted for the same person and would have overturned the other villagers! From my perspective of the game it seemed obvious but I guess when you're playing it as a wolf you're too busy trying not to look suspect.
The lovers were a guardian angel/wolf
combo, pretty much meant Dex made Byron the guard every night and so the wolves could kill whoever the hell they wanted! Byron had the idea of attacking Dex whilst simultaneously protecting him to make him look like a real stand up guy, it appeared to work.
Also props to ZP for calling it all, and then for taking the final wolf with him.

I prepare my qualifying exams for my Ms.C. and I do a lot of exams, but a few problems in there, I couldn't resolve, I hope can you help me.
1) Prove the following ring isomorphism $$\mathbb{C}[x,y] \cong \{ (p(x),q(y)) \in \mathbb{C}[x]\times \mathbb{C}[y] | p(0)=q(0)\}.$$ 2) Let $p$ a prime number and $\omega$ a $p$-th root of unit and let $L=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$. In addition, suppose that $K$ is a subfield of $L$ with $$[K:\mathbb{Q}]=\frac{p-1}{2},$$ and $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega+\omega^{-1})$. Then prove that $\sqrt{(-1)^{\frac{p-1}{2}}p} \in L$.
3) Let $F$ subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ that contain a $p$-th unit root, where $p$ is a prime number. Let $K$ a Galois extension of $F$ with $[K:F]=p$. Prove that $K$ is the splitting field of the polynomial $f(x)=x^p-a$ for some $a \in F$.
4) The last one, let $I,J$ ideal of a ring $R$ such that $R=I+J$. Prove that for all pair of elements $a,b \in R$, there exists $x \in R$ such that $x \equiv a \; (mod\; I)$ and $x \equiv a \; (mod \; J)$.
That's all, some this problems i resolve with a very powerful theorems and i think they have a solution very more simple. So, i wait for your answers and good luck with the problems, thank you.

Animal News Flash, Ontario (CANADA): Maybe you have seen a Baltimore Oriole in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada… …It is more likely you have not seen one, as they are a more rare species of bird to see nowadays, unlike when I was a youngster growing up here, for many probable reasons. However, this bird is not considered to be endangered or threatened. A talented photography friend of mine, Bonnie Harris, captured this marvelously vivid shot of a Baltimore Oriole right here in Southern Ontario, and I wanted to share this beautiful picture with you.

The author and former Navy SEAL who was one of two men slain at a Texas gun range was the defendant in a defamation lawsuit by former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura.
Ventura sued "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle in federal court in Minnesota over a portion of the book that claims Kyle decked Ventura in a 2006 bar fight over unpatriotic remarks he claimed Ventura made. Ventura, who's also an ex-SEAL, says the punch never happened.
Kyle's Minneapolis attorney, John Borger, says he's "shocked and terribly saddened" by Kyle's death. But he tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/VxpqAw ) it's "way too early" to determine how it will affect the lawsuit.
Texas authorities have charged a suspect with murder in Saturday's shootings of the 38-year-old Kyle and the other man.

C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - December 2020
League Table
Manager's Thoughts
We've put ourself in a strong position in the Copa del Rey where we have a 3 goal advantage going into the 2nd leg against Sporting.Europa League saw us beaten badly against Borussia Dortmund but our fringe players did very well against M.Haifa as we won 2-0,we will face Wolfsburg in the 1st knouckout round.The league saw an easy win against Celta was followed by a shocking 5-1 win against Deportivo,we were also unlucky not to win against Malaga as we had a goal disallowed but in my opinion,a draw was a fair result.Brilliant end to 2020 as we top Liga BBVA!
January starts of easier with games against Sporting in the Copa del Rey and Granada in the league but then it get's really tricky as we face R.Madrid,Athletic,At.Madrid and Barcelona in that orders,looks like a very ugly end to January but if we get it out the way then it vastly reduces the number of quality teams we have to face later on in the season.

Sometimes web pages are a little too big or too small and it would be nice to be able to zoom out or in to make the page easier to read. Fortunately, your browser has a few keyboard shortcuts to remedy those problems.
In order to zoom in, you just press control (Windows) or command (Mac) and the + key. (Technically you're pressing the = key because you'd need to press shift to make a plus, but thinking of it as the + key makes more sense since it's zooming you in.) To zoom out, press control/command -, and press control/command 0 to set things back to normal. This can be really handy on high res screens, screens that are too far away, or sites that just make everything ridiculously big and you don't want to be scrolling everywhere just to navigate.

Anna M. Grant, 18, Carmi, was arrested around 12:06 a.m. Sunday on a preliminary charge of illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor.
A Carmi Police Deparment incident report said officers responded to a report of a disturbance in the 800 block of Sycamore Street and discovered there had been a fight between parties there but no one wanted to sign a complaint for battery.
Several there were allegedly intoxicated and Grant was also found to have been drinking while underage.
She was booked at the City-County Jail in Carmi pending $150 cash bail.

Many sources, such as Bringhurst and other style guides, recommend using text figures everywhere except all-caps text. This would seem reasonable for documents containing a lot of regular text, such as books and novels. But how much does this recommendation hold for documents that contain a lot of math formulae intertwined with text, such as textbooks and scientific reports? Of course, using text figures in math proper is wrong, but what about text figures in text and lining figures in math? Is it better/worse than using lining figures everywhere?
(Posting my comments as an answer, for what it's worth.)
It's mostly a matter of taste. People aren't really used to text figures in math related texts, but it's perfectly OK to use them as long as you do what you already mentioned in your question: Make a strict separation between text and math, and always use lining figures for math, i.e., for both inline and display math. This means in particular that the
You may not like this, but I see no way out of it. Having inline and display math look diffent is much worse.

Hello -- I am a relative novice to ballet, and have seen the Kirov only once before (the Fokine Triple Bill, some years ago on tour in Boston). I'll be in New York for a few days next month when the Kirov will be in town. If I had to choose one performance to see, between Vishneva in Anna K and Obraztsova in LHH, which would you recommend? I know that's probably not much to go on (in terms of making a recommendation), but I am a fairly blank slate when it comes to ballet, with no strongly defined tastes -- yet. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Don't mean to add fuel to the fire, but I would see Lopatkina. She's a living legend and some day you will spend many-many cold winter nights telling your grand-children about that time you saw her live.
Vishneva can be seen on a regular basis dancing with ABT during their NY season, and Obraztsova is quite young, while every chance to see Lopatkina on our shores can easily turn out to be the last one.
My second choice would be Kondaurova, but that's just my personal opinion
In any case, with luxurious casting like what we are being offered by Mariinsky this summer, you simply cannot lose - all these ballerinas are absolutely great.

The new credit card standards including PA-DSS can be quite confusing for software companies.
My question is this: If your software company designs a POS software system (like we do) which utilizes a locally installed 3rd party credit card processor (which is PA-DSS compliant) to encrypt, transmit and process the credit cards, does our POS system have to pass PA-DSS certification then?
The end users enters the data into our custom designed UI / Payment screen in our application. We do not ever store this information at any point in time in a database, text file etc of any kind. The information is taken from the user interface and loaded into variables in RAM and then passed to the 3rd party software system via their locally installed API. The 3rd party processor then encrypts, submits and processes the credit card information and they are PA-DSS compliant.
So, do we need to be since we are not storing, transmitting or processing the credit card data. We are transmitting the credit card information only from RAM to an API call.

Silver Circle Movie Premiere
When we heard about this film screening, we thought it might be of interest to at least some Heartland donors and friends. We haven't seen the movie yet, but maybe you will and can let us know what you think?
The first Midwest screening of Silver Circle will be hosted on the Northside of Chicago on April 28th with TWO showtimes (5pm & 7pm)
About Silver Circle:
It's 2019. The dollar is dead. The Federal Reserve brutally clings to the power it has gathered for more than a hundred years. Zoe Taylor stands in their way, with a cunning plan, a scrappy group of Rebels, an insider's help, and a competing currency made of pure silver. Do she and the Rebels have what it takes to destroy the tyrannical Fed?
This event is directly following the C2E2 event happening at the McCormick Center all weekend. THE premiere comic book convention of Chicago!
Tickets are $10 and are ON SALE NOW!
You can purchase tickets for the 5pm show here:
7pm show here:
Buy one for a friend and support our End the Fed film as it makes its way in to the Windy City! Let us know if you'd like to reserve a group of seats in advance and we can make a special raffle or giveaway for your group!

Short titles are used throughout the document.
biblatex with

I have a Toshiba Satellite-L655 laptop with Windows 7, and I want to install 12.04 LTS.
The problem is that I have a problem with Windows. The problem is that, when I turn on my laptop, it gives this options: "start up repair (recommended) and "Start Up Normally".
If I choose Start Up Normally it goes to Start Up Repair anyway.
When Start Up Repair runs, it says "startup repair is checking your system for problems".
This goes for like 7 minutes, then it says that it couldn't fix the problem, so I can't use Windows.
I was wondering if I was able to install Ubuntu in somehow.
If possible, please tell me and help me.

Enroll Now!
This class was put together in such a way as to make it easy to gain useful communication skills quickly. I learned a lot more than I expected to. Thanks!
Great course! I had taken Italian many, many years ago, and this course was an excellent way to review the basics of the language plus add precise grammar explanations (that I didn't have on my first course) and many useful new vocabulary.
The course is excellent! The lesson content is varied, interesting and fun. The vocabulary presented is extremely practical and suitable for anyone who plans to travel to Italy and wishes to interact with Italians in everyday situations. Frankly, I hate to see it end!
I enjoyed Instant Italian so much! I believe that I will be able to use this information in my profession. Mr. Bertoldi is an excellent instructor. His lessons are thorough, thoughtful, and easy to understand! I am so glad I took this course.
So fun!! It was nice to be able to learn in a stress free environment on my own time and still be able to listen to the pronunciation of the words.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class and I learned a great deal. I had taken Italian in college and this was a great review. It gave me very practical information that I can use in everyday conversation. The grammar rules and tips were especially helpful. Also, the audio was excellent and really helped with my pronunciation.
I found the information in the class to be very useful and just the thing that I needed to be able to go to Italy and communicate in an understandable and basic way. Professor Bertoldi's explanations were very clear and the additional information available for each lesson was very helpful.
The course was very well organized! Each lesson was divided into chapters chunking the material into manageable amounts of information that was closely related. The professor provided interesting introductory material as well as helpful formats and thorough explanations. This was a refresher course for me but I still learned new material and gained more understanding of the language and its usage. I loved the additional material and web site suggestions and will continue to use them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I thought it was interesting and very challenging. I learned a lot and had fun doing it.
The instructor was excellent. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The course material is relevant for travelers.

Wingate (325-334-337=996) claimed the wire-to-wire team victory by a comfortable 17-shot margin over runner-up Coker (330-340-343=1013), which moved into second.

Queens (340-329-357=1026) dropped from second following Monday's final round to fifth, while Catawba (340-343-344=1027) remained sixth.
Tusculum (334-351-371=1056) also stayed steady in seventh, with LMU (349-348-365=1062) remaining in eighth. Anderson (369-356-370=1095) held the ninth spot for the third consecutive round, with Lenoir-Rhyne (379-362-372=1113) in 10th and Mars Hill (374-382-384=1140) finishing 11th.
Wingate's Johanna Neumann (78-79-74=231) claimed individual honors by seven strokes over Catawba's Madison Kennedy (78-79-81=238) and by eight shots over Coker's Taylor Dembry (77-83-79=239).
Eskew (92-85-94=271) claimed a share of 33rd, while junior Natalie Feder (94-88-93=275) continued to climb in the standings over the final two rounds and finished in a tie for 38th. Junior Sarah Timms (94-93-89=276) finished one shot further back and jumped from 48th into a tie for the 40th spot. Sophomore Garyt Hamilton (89-90-100=279) finished 46th and sophomore Braiden Furtick (101-93-94=194) rounded out the Trojan contingent in 51st.

I was recently reading the latest edition of Halachically Speaking. It says:
A woman who is a widow r"l or divorcee still has an obligation to cover her hair.
But why is this so? Why should they be any different than unmarried women?
I was recently reading the latest edition of Halachically Speaking. It says:
But why is this so? Why should they be any different than unmarried women?
Presumably standard practice is that once a woman begins treating her hair as erva, she should continue doing so. (I believe I've heard this from Rabbis Broyde or Willig.)
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein does write that hair-covering while married is dat moshe, but hair-covering afterwards is dat yehudit. There is a great deal of discussion over what those terms mean, but most straightforward is the argument of Rabbi Yehuda Henkin, Rabbi Michael Broyde, and others that the former is completely objective, but the latter may have some cultural dependence.
(By the way, why do unmarried women not have to cover their hair? It appears their definition of erva is culturally subjective, hence not today.)
The obligation of hair-covering post-marriage is less than during marriage; thus (as indicated by rony), in one responsum Rabbi Moshe Feinstein allowed a young widow to uncover her hair as that was needed for her employment in an office (which sounds a bit like the Mad Men era, but I digress). In another responsum, he allows a young divorcee to uncover her hair to increase the likelihood of meeting an eligible fellow. There are actually two reasons why this is helpful:
This is a very (extremely?) delicate subject. We must first understand what stands behind it and this forum may not be the best place to discuss it. The idea of "tzniut" is very deep and comes to help us build a meaningful and lasting married relationship. The chinuch (training? education?) starts at a very young age much before the boy/girl gets to the age of marrying. There are different customs depending on the congregations. I am happy that I don't have to be a posek in this subject! The source to cover the hair for married window is deHoraitah (Shulchan Haruch Even Haezer 21:2) and according to the commentators it includes even divorced and widows. Harav Feinshtein was asked on the subject (Igrot Moshe, Even Haezer 1:57) regarding if the widow or the divorced may loose her place of work if she comes with her hair covered. He said that in the case of need she can go with her hair uncovered. What is "case of need"? What about a situation of a young widow that hopes to re-marry and feels that is she goes with her covered it will decrease her chances?

How would one go about proving the following. Any ideas as to where to start?
For any integer n, the floor of n/2 equals n/2 if n is even and (n-1)/2 if n is odd.
[n/2] = n/2 if n = even
[n/2] = (n-1)/2 if n = odd
Working through it, I try to initially set n = 2n for the even case but am stuck on how to show its a floor...

They're called cowboys, but you won't find them astride a horse rounding up stray cattle. They are scientists—dubbed disease cowboys—who search for the cause when unknown diseases break out in remote locales.
Ian Buller, a CU-Boulder senior majoring in ecology and evolutionary biology, has his sights set on being one of these daring "disease cowboys" and to specialize in disease ecology, specifically identifying and studying disease emergence and designing control programs.
Buller, who is pursuing concurrent bachelor's/master's degrees, works in Professor Pieter Johnson's CU-Boulder lab on the amphibian necropsy task force. He is studying a type of parasite common in the United States to determine if there's an environmental factor that correlates with its presence in particular areas across the country.
"My research entails cutting open frogs and counting their parasites," he said. "Diseases are biological creatures. We're trying to understand how the environment affects them and how they affect the environment."
The research has potential significance for entire ecological communities and ecosystem processes. Invasions and diseases can have costly economic and health repercussions for human society.
"I get to work with a professor who's studying a unique approach to this field," said Buller. "It's infectious to work in his lab."
A 2011 Goldwater Scholarship winner, Buller is an active participant in CU-Boulder's Presidents Leadership Class and the campus chapter of GlobeMed. Once he completes his dual degrees, he plans to pursue a PhD program. His goal is to work for the Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization, or possibly in academia as faculty.
"There are some scary diseases out there," said Buller, "but that's part of the excitement."

I'm trying to add a new method to the Image class from Python Imaging Library. I want to have a new class called DilateImage which acts exactly as the original Image class, except it also includes a dilate() function which modifies the class instance when it is executed on one. Here's my example code (that isn't working):
import Image
def DilateImage(Image):
def dilate(self):
imnew = self.copy()
sourcepix = imnew.load()
destpix = self.load()
for y in range(self.size[1]):
for x in range(self.size[0]):
brightest = 255
for dy in range(-1,2):
for dx in range(-1,2):
brightest = min(sourcepix[x+dx,y+dy], brightest)
except IndexError:
destpix[x, y] = brightest
When I try to use this new class type to create an instance that uses the base class' "open" function it fails:
>>> test = DilateImage.open("test.jpg")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'open'

Though it has last year's specs, the PadFone X marries two mobile devices into one convenient form at an affordable price.
At CES 2014, Asus unveiled its smaller PadFone Mini unit, which features a 4-inch handset and 7-inch tablet.
Pricing not available
The new Asus PadFone isn't available in the US, but with its Snapdragon 800 processor and impressive build quality, we're scratching our heads as to why.
Pricing not available
The Asus PadFone Infinity is part phone, part tablet, all high-end specs for a high-end price. It's coming soon to the U.K. with no U.S. release planned.
Pricing not available
If having a good camera and the latest OS aren't first on your list of priorities, the Asus PadFone 2's many improvements over its predecessor make it a worthwhile upgrade.
Pricing not available
The Asus PadFone is a great idea and features fantastic battery life when combined with its accessories. However, while the concept is cool, users may find the entire combination bulky.
Sporting a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 13-megapixel lens, the 5-inch PadFone X smartphone can dock directly into a tablet for a more immersive experience.

I have an InfoPath 2010 form with a "Resume" attachment. When the form gets submitted to the SharePoint document library, I need to display the resume attachment as a document library's column. Every solution method that I am finding is based on InfoPath/SharePoint 2007, which is not working the same way with 2010. I know there should be a workflow to create in the SharePoint Designer, and can't figure out what it is. If anybody has this knowledge, please help.
You will have to include custom code in the submit button of your InfoPath form and you will have to give the InfoPath form template Full Trust for the code to work in SharePoint.
Please visit the Step 5 of this post to get the different options- http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2010/04/top-10-questions-infopath-file-attachments/
or view this post directly- http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2010/01/upload-document-sharepoint-infopath-form/
I would recommend to move all c# code out of the InfoPath form. Full Trust forms w/ code inside couldn't be deployed w/ CI or powershell to defferent SharePoint farms and that's pity.
In that case, it's better to move code to event receiver to sync attachments between InfoPath forms and 3rd part source like additional column/list/whatever it is.

Why are some verbs only usable in the infinitive? The one example I can think of is "to spite" (see "to wit in the accepted answer). While wiktionary claims that spited is a word, that doesn't match other ite words, like bite or smite. OED disagrees, saying there is no past tense.

There is at least one verb in modern English that is only used in the infinitive; namely to wit. What happened there was that wit used to be a normal verb (conjugated I wot, I wist, I have wist), but all uses except the infinitive to wit dropped out of use.
The same thing seems to be happening to the verb spite. For the verb spite, all uses except the infinitive are quite rare in modern English, and it is conceivable they will vanish completely relatively soon. It appears that in Shakespeare's time, the use of spite was not restricted to the infinitive:
Searching Shakespeare, it looks like he uses spite in the infinitive 4 times, and in other conjugations 3 times.
My OED (2nd ed, 1989) does not say spite as a verb can only be used in the infinitive, nor does it say it has no past tense. When the past tense isn't specifically listed, it is regular. Many example quotes give spited as the past tense and part participle.
There is one sense of the verb spite that's limited to the phrase to spite (one), i.e. in the infinitive. Here, it has a specific meaning; it is transitive, taking a person as object. However, there are other senses too. The infinitive isn't the only possible usage.
Learner's dictionaries like OALD and LDOCE tend to have limited senses or usages for certain words, showing learners only the most common usages, just like they only list a subset of the vocabulary as headwords and limit the definition words to 2000.
Unfortunately, rhyming words are not a reliable test. See Wikipedia: English irregular verbs
And, for that matter, if its bite/bit and smite/smote, then what exactly does that say about "spite" anyway? That we should pick a random vowel? :)

Charlotte, N.C.- The Charlotte men's and women's track and field teams participated in Habitat for Humanity this week as part of their community service.
Habitat for Humanity has been a part of the 49ers way for the past four years. "The community service projects that 49ers athletics teams engage in are meant to both help the sponsors complete their events and work but also to provide our student-athletes with new experiences and value volunteer service," said Coach Robert Olesen. The Habitat for Humanity chapter at Charlotte was founded in 2009 by three sophomore undergraduates. The on campus organization has grown to draw about 70 members each year and reach about 10,000 students a semester through volunteer, fundraising, and advocacy events, on and off campus. The hard work and dedication of the chapter's members, combined with the rapid growth of the university has the capability to become a force for engaging students in meaningful service and reaching out to have a positive impact on families and individuals around the Charlotte area.
The Habitat for Humanity house is taking part on campus and will be finished in the days to come leading up the first Charlotte 49ers football homecoming. The house will be revealed at the football game. The house will be transported to its final location. The house will be donated to a deserving family in the Charlotte area so they have a homecoming of their own.
"The student athletes and staff had a great time volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity building site on campus. This project certainly exposed many of our student-athletes to activities and skills new to them and provided them with a real sense of accomplishment and satisfaction while helping a very worthy cause."

Students, Java and Immersion
By User12652314-Oracle on Mar 28, 2013
We're into planning this week for our student developer presence at the annual Immersive Education Summit. With a goal to lay out a Java tool and curriculum path for kids to get started learning programming and problem solving early and get them on their way to a good job as an architect/programmer, we'll be promoting the Academy intro to Comp Sci program offering, Dan Green's contributing sessions on Minecraft and sessions on OpenWonderland. Immersive learning experiences like simulations, virtual worlds, games and animation are key to many STEM initiatives, but also increasingly relevant to use cases in the enterprise as online learning is adopted across all industries at a rapid pace. They also present a compelling new front-end user experience for our talent and human capital development solutions for our customers. Watch this space for an upcoming special event on "Talent Cities" in the near future.

TEMPLE (December 6, 2012)--A Temple man was sentenced Wednesday to federal prison after he earlier pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith sentenced Larry Dale Reese to serve 10 years in federal prison, to be followed by five years on supervised release, ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and $100 in special assessment to the court.
A federal court document says in June Reese became the subject of an investigation by agents of the Texas Attorney General's Office who were conducting undercover, online investigation involving child exploitation offenses.
Reese at the time was a registered sex offender in the State of Texas.
On July 11, investigators with the Texas Attorney General's Office and agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation served a federal search warrant at Reese's residence in Temple.
A forensic search of a laptop computer seized during the raid revealed numerous images and videos of child pornography.

TOKYO (AP) -- Japanese police say that parts of a tunnel have collapsed on a highway west of Tokyo, trapping an unknown number of vehicles as smoke from a fire inside prevented rescuers from approaching.
A police spokesman, Yoshihiro Fukutani, said police were still trying to learn the exact situation inside the Sasago Tunnel, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) outside the city, after parts of a wall inside collapsed early Sunday morning.
Television footage showed police vehicles, fire trucks and ambulances massed outside the tunnel's entrance. A man who said he saw the collapse and alerted authorities to the emergency managed to escape after he was ordered to flee. The roof and windows of another vehicle parked on the roadside outside the tunnel were crushed; the injured occupants reportedly taken to a hospital.
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's space agency says it is investigating a possible leak of data about its Epsilon rocket due to a computer virus.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency says an infected computer was disconnected from its networks after a virus was found earlier this month. It is checking to see if any data was siphoned from it.
JAXA said in a statement that information about the Epsilon, due to be launched next year, its M-5 rocket and H2A and H2B rockets may have been compromised.
The agency said it is tightening security to prevent any further leaks.
Japan is hoping to compete with the U.S., Russia, Europe and others as a satellite launch vehicle provider and has developed the Epsilon to reduce costs and speed up launch times.
MILAN (AP) -- The Italian news agency ANSA says a wall at the Pompeii archeological site has collapsed following days of heavy rain.
The collapse Friday of a two-meter (six-foot) section of wall in an area closed to tourists is the latest in a series that has raised concern about the state of the cultural treasure. In 2010, a 2,000-year-old house collapsed in the ancient Roman city that was once used by gladiators to train before combat.
The Italian government and the European Commission last spring announced a project to spend (euro) 105 million ($136 million) to secure the Pompeii site.
Some 3 million people each year visit the ancient city south of Naples that was destroyed in A.D. 79 by a volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius.
PARIS (AP) -- A pan-European stealth combat drone demonstrator has taken its first test flight in southern France.
French defense company Dassault-Aviation is lead contractor on the "Neuron" project launched in 2005 involving firms from France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Greece and Switzerland to provide a test bed for developing future combat aircraft.
Its successful flight took place Saturday near Istres.
Program officials say the Neuron is not a prototype, but aims to help European countries explore stealth technology for possible use -- years from now -- in future drones or successors of fighters like the Eurofighter or France's Rafale. The program will also seek innovations like the release of air-to-surface weapons from an internal bay.
Many experts believe armed drones will play an increasing role in the future of air combat.

Southington drops rematch to Glastonbury
SOUTHINGTON — Every senior dreads the moment when the game clock hits 0:00 and he realizes he won't be together with the same group of teammates ever again. Only a few get to say their goodbyes while rejoicing in a state championship.
The Southington High football team will not be among those few. No. 7 Glastonbury avenged a regular-season loss and handed No. 2 Southington its first setback of the season, 23-14, Wednesday night in the Class LL quarterfinals at Fontana Field.
Southington coach Mike Drury individually hugged and thanked each of the Blue Knights' seniors after the loss and said he couldn't have been more proud of the way his kids played.
"I told my kids to keep their heads held high," Drury said. "They played their hearts out, but it just didn't go our way tonight. The little things that we knew would determine the game did, and we lost that battle."
With the home crowd rocking Fontana Field, it only took one play to swing the momentum Glastonbury's way. On the first play from scrimmage, Blue Knights tailback Jarrid Grimmett darted through a big hole in the middle of the field, but Glastonbury's Justin Kretzmer ripped the ball out of Grimmett's hands. Six plays later, quarterback Joshua Hill scampered down the right sideline for a 22-yard touchdown.
Midway through the second quarter, Southington wide receiver Corbin Garry saw a rare opportunity. Garry was back for a punt return when the Glastonbury punt sailed only 15 yards toward the sidelines.
With the Tomahawks (10-1) thinking the ball would bounce out of bounds, nobody was around Garry. The ball took a wild bounce into Garry's hands and he raced down the sideline to the Glastonbury 20.
Four plays later, Southington quarterback Stephen Barmore scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to tie the score at 7-7.
After the two sides traded punts, Grimmett busted through a hole like he was on fire and scored a 40-yard touchdown to give the Blue Knights a 14-7 lead.
Southington (10-1) held a 14-10 lead at halftime, but the momentum swung back to Glastonbury in the third period. On third and 10 from their own 14, quarterback Ben Berey scrambled outside of the pocket and launched a perfect pass to Grant Lewis, who scored on an 86-yard touchdown to give the visitors a lead they never relinquished.
Southington's offense never seemed to get in sync and had a difficult time moving the ball after that.
"We looked good in practice all week," Barmore said. "They just play really good defense. They are physical and seem to always be in the right spots. Coach said that the game would come down to turnovers and field position, and that's what beat us tonight."
Barmore completed eight of 21 passes for 54 yards and rushed the ball eight times for 62 yards and a touchdown. Grimmett had eight carries for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Drury pointed to his team's success throughout the season and noted the Blue Knights should be proud of the way they played all year long.
"We had a great season," Drury said. "I told my kids that. Sometimes, things don't go your way, but that's how the game is played. These type of games are won and lost on turnovers, and that's what beat us. We battled the whole game. We just came up a couple plays short."

Towel bars are an essential hardware element in any bathroom, adding both style and functionality to the space. Many people think of towel racks as the basic wall mounted single bar, but while that is a practical solution for many bathrooms, there are actually a wide variety of other types of bathroom towel bars and towel racks as well. We carry freestanding racks, over-door hanging racks, retractable under-sink bars, and even bars that feature integrated shelves or other storage. For shared bathrooms, or guest baths, a double towel bar that is freestanding or wall mounted can add crucial hanging space so that everyone has a place to put their towel. Alternately there are towel racks that feature up to 4 bars to accommodate even more towels.
One other thing that you may want to consider when choosing your towel racks is that a bathroom looks most put together when all of its hardware matches. So if you can, try to select racks that come in the same style and finish as the hardware that may already be installed on the sink or shower. Alternately, if you are choosing hardware for the entire bathroom at once, many products have links in their descriptions that feature other products in their collection, so you could purchase pieces that match exactly. If you need a full bathroom of hardware, you may also be interested in checking out our bathroom hardware sets that make the buying process simple by bundling matching hardware in one easy package.
Whichever style of bathroom towel bars or racks you are looking for, you are sure to find multiple great options in our huge selection of over 1,500 different choices. And, with products from reliable brands like Moen, Delta Faucet, Elements of Design, the towel rack you choose will be durable and looking great for years to come.

Such wild beauty, great shot.
Main Content
Très belle photo
Is this area part of the Canadian Rockies? We are visiting Banff the end of June. Love the composition and lighting.
the brown and the brown horse, and all that is around seem to become one. great photo.
Beauty place, nice and contrasting colors; dark in rocks, white snow, green trees, brown grass, soft light. Horses are perfect complement for the shot.
Great Shot !
that blonde horse looks irridescent. great shot. It looks near Burgess Shale, source of many early-Cambrian fossils.
I never saw Wild Horses :(
such a place!
Freedom is the most beautiful things ,so they are so diffreent from those in the zoos or feeded by human
How peaceful, grazing at the bottom of the mountain as the snow is thawing, thick winter coats now dry, sunlight streaming through, i feel warm and happy inside :)
Breath taking
The old West still exists. We have more than 600 mustangs roaming free on the west side of the lake & Okanagan River in Penticton. They are hard on peoples gardens & cause troubles on the highway but most of us love them anyway.
nice one..
Beautiful, mysterious and wonderful! Seems as though the horse in center of photo is inviting us in to witness his world. The mountains and the whole scene seems like a fairy tale. Lovely!
Like a cave I must echo... Wow.
W O W... :o
wow... its soo nice
I've always thought it looked like a sleeping stegosaurus, but maybe that's what you get from driving from Drumheller to Banff!
It looks like a still-life painting-gorgeous shades and color contrasts.
no niezłe konie
What a wonderful shot ,well done !
What a beautiful picture.
Great picture
Superb pic! Should be a mural! :)
Like it... absolutely fantastic...
This is Mt. Yamnuska. I doubt that anyone locally even knows it as Mt. John Laurie. I just went and looked it up to see if this was correct! I had never heard the name and I have lived here my whole life! I doubt these are wild horses. The Kananaskis Guest Ranch uses some of this land for grazing their horses.. Also, the Morley Reserve abuts this area and horses are poorly fenced on the Reserve and are often in this area. I walk here all the time and have never seen wild horses. Still a beautiful photo!
The lighting and the blending of the landscape colors with the horses is truly breathtaking. I will never be able to get to a location like this, but thank you for taking me there.
Fantastic photo. It's simply perfect!
The kind of place that beckons me to get out and explore this great beautiful planet of ours. Great shot and congrats on being selected. Regards, Dennis
Wild? Maybe they belong to the Nakoda , their land is all around the area & I've seen horses around there for years.
What a wonderful shot of these beautiful animals, with those mountains making a grand backdrop that only enhances their beauty. The color of the horse in the center is just perfect, and all this put together is to be enjoyed as a whole. j.e.s.......
The light is perfect
My favorite subject!
@Larry Nocella Thanks :)
@Lisa Young Exactly. Strangely, Nat Geo changed the name to Mt John Laurie even though I used Mt Yamnuska :) I guess, they didnt trust me :) I call them wild horses because of there behaviour, which is very similar to wild animals. They watch out for danger and run away as soon as you approach them beyond their comfort zone. They might be free-roaming horses which if left that way for long time, gradually become wild. I saw them in this location few times already. Amazing animals nevertheless :)
@Laura Moreno You are welcome and thank you :)
@Giancarlo Cazzin Thank you.
@Dennis Stewart Many Thanks Dennis. Yeah, there is so much to explore :)
@Joy Saldanha Thank you very much :)

Part 2 - How to improve your hardware support experience
By Miriam Brace -Oracle on May 22, 2013
Part 1, discussed how to install the Service Tools Bundle, setup up Oracle Explorer and Enable Automatic Service Request.
Part 2, Addresses how to improve the speed of Hardware Service Request resolution and how to be more proactive by addressing known issues using the output of the Oracle Explorer file (installation steps are covered in Part 1).
Improving the Speed of Hardware Service Request Resolution
Did you know that the system fast tracks your Service Requests when you attach either the Oracle Explorer or the correct diagnostic files?
If the system detects a known issue, with 20minutes there is an automatic update made to the Service Request advising which component requires replacement.
Enable your Service Request to get faster resolutions by associating the correct content as outlined:
• SPARC Servers — See Document: 1364841.1 to learn how to log a service request with all the required information
• Sun SPARC Enterprise M3000, M4000, M5000, M8000, & M9000 Servers—require an Explorer from the domain in question and a snapshot from the Main XSCF. See Document: 1008229.1 for details on how to run snapshot on these platforms
• Sun SPARC Enterprise T5xx0 Servers and Sun SPARC T3 & T4 Servers —use ILOM and require snapshot from the SP. See Document: 1020204.1 for details on how to run snapshot on these platforms.
Enable your systems for faster service requests today!
Generating and reviewing an Oracle Sun System Analysis (OSSA) Report.
Oracle Sun System Analysis reports provide a wealth of information that allows you to maintain your system proactively to reduce unplanned outages. The process of viewing reports is via My Oracle Support -> Proactive Hardware Services. To enable you to view the reports a number of steps need to be completed to confirm your identity, serial number access, and Oracle Explorer needs to be installed and setup correctly.
Before reviewing the OSSA report, complete the authorization steps as outlined below. If you skip this step, you might not be able to see the reports online.
Step 1 — The chassis serial number has to be on the contract that is associated with the Support Identifier (SI) on your My Oracle Support Account. View My Accounts to validate you have the SI associated to your account
Step 2 — Ensure Oracle Explorer Data Collector is installed on all the system you are interested in analyzing for known faults
Step 3 — For older system the appropriate explorer field is the serial number field when running the ./ explorer -g command. SNEEP is the recommended method gathering the serial number information. The manually ended data must be identical to serial number listed on your support contract. For example, don't add extra spaces to the start or finish of the serial number.
This is not issue for newer systems as the serial number identification is automatic.
Step 4 — Setup explorer to be set to run via a cron job or manually. See the Oracle Explorer Data Collector Users Guide for more details.
Send the output to Oracle Secure File Transport (SFT) or Sun Support Files. Oracle Recommends SFT view Document: 1362484.1 for a walk through of the steps.
Step 5 — Oracle recommends that explorer data is sent monthly. Oracle receives the Explorer data and performs two checks.
• Rule 1: How old is the explorer file? If it is greater than 90days then N/A appears in the explorer data field for the asset. If it is less than 90days, the next rule is run
• Rule 2: Is there an Existing OSSA report available? If Yes, is the report greater than 28.1 days? If yes, a new report will be created. If No, and it is less than 28.1 days the report will not be created.
Step 6 — View the reports – Select Proactive Hardware Services.
The home page is displayed - it has the list of SI's and serial numbers for active reports.
View the MC Report
The Mission Critical (MC) Report shows details about your system. Under each region, there is an icon to indicate that there is more data available. Select the arrow icon to view more details about the known issue.
Oracle recommends that you focus on those known issues marked with a red circle and white X
View the ORI Report
This report shows the system's risk level. Severity is associated to the risk index number. Oracle recommends that Critical risks are addressed to prevent your system experiencing known issues.
1. The SI will only be visible when there are entitled explorer files associated to it.
2. The SI must be associated to a contract with Hardware and Operating System coverage. This is viewable in the My Account region by selecting the SI and viewing the coverage.
If you have Questions please post them in the My Oracle Support Community.

I've never commented in the forums before, yet I have been around the game for about 2 months now. I spent a few Kreds early on because I saw some potential in the game, and thought the early purchase would prove worthwhile.
NightOwl Pellets, Harlan, the way that your company has managed this server is an absolute deterrent for me to spend any more of my hard earned money on the game. NOG demonstrates instability, poor communication, and no clarity of vision for the future of Dungeon Overlord. That in turn is scaring off investment.
Please tell me what, if anything, would merit continued investment of my time or money? The player base is rapidly shrinking. I'm losing friends left and right. The game content and allure is deteriorating. Simply put, the game seems to be dying on Kongregate.
What is the future of Dungeon Overlord? Are you just milking every dollar you can until the server simply does die? Or is there some sort of hope for the future of this game?
Frankly, I can't see one right now.

The 6 Creepiest Glitches in Famous Video Games (Part 2)
If you ask gamers what the scariest video game ever is, they'll probably say something like Silent Hill or Amnesia or Pac-Man (seriously, try to imagine it in first-person view). But most of those games are intentionally trying to be scary. The true horror happens when a completely normal game that wanted nothing but to entertain you accidentally becomes corrupted, offering us a glimpse of what hell would look like if it were rendered in video game graphics.
Once again, let's look at what happens when video game glitches stop being annoying and start being terrifying.
#6. Bethesda Games and Battlefield 3 -- Characters Glitching into Contorted Nightmares
Via Bethsoft.com
Video games today look better than they've ever looked ... but at what cost? The RPGs created by Bethesda Softworks, for example, use complex physics engines that can simulate real-world physics to near perfection. When it works, it makes your games look all fancy and realistic -- but when it doesn't, it's indistinguishable from a demonic possession. For instance, Fallout: New Vegas throws fresh horror at you right in the introductory cutscene. If you get a certain glitch, your character wakes up, and the first thing he sees is a man who instantly starts channeling the girl from The Exorcist:
How many people thought this was part of the normal game and immediately threw the disc into a fire?
This happens before you are even allowed to move. You're stuck there, forced to watch him do that in front of you. In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (another Bethesda game), you get glitches like this terrifying video of an adorable little kid who starts spinning around like a human Ferris wheel. While staring at you.
"Can you help me find my teddy bear, mister?"
"I think I left it over here ..."
"Or maybe ... over here ..."
That sort of shit can happen in the middle of the game, with no warning or explanation. Some enemies will inexplicably melt into a pile of liquidy goo after you hit them, and they'll just stay there looking like a piece of human gum stuck on the carpet unless you resurrect them with a spell.
See, normally, we have to write mods in order to make that happen.
You can even play with your melted enemy's body parts, but we wouldn't recommend watching the results on a full stomach. Then there's this video of a player in Oblivion walking into a room, only to find a sentient bed eat-fucking a guy to death, groaning with pleasure the entire time.
"And that's how baby demons are made, son. Any other questio- why are you crying?"
Warning: Close the video before 0:56, because at that point the bed starts limping toward you, and the intern we forced to watch that part still hasn't come out of his coma.
Not that Bethesda has the monopoly on unholy software bugs -- at any moment, you could pop in your favorite shooting game and see this:
"Hello, fellow human soldier. Can I take a look at your spinal fluid, just for a moment?"
That's a particularly disturbing glitch from the public beta release of Battlefield 3, in which players crawling on the ground would sometimes mutate into human slugs, or maybe contort themselves into grotesque, twisted horrors from The Thing:
#5. Minecraft -- The Far Lands
Via 552gaming.com
One of the coolest things about Minecraft (other than the fact that you can build almost anything) is that the world the game generates is nearly infinite. If you don't like the spot you're in, you can pick a direction, keep walking, and find another spot to set up as your home. Of course, due to the limitations of technology, it isn't really infinite. Like all things, Minecraft's world does have an end ... and that's where stuff gets bizarre.
Via Minecraftwiki.net
Now we know why the game credits M.C. Escher as conceptual artist.
In older versions of the game, it was possible to walk all the way to the literal end of the world (estimated to take approximately 34 days of real-world time) and see what players referred to as "The Far Lands" -- the farther away you walked, the buggier the game got, so at that point the world simply stopped making sense. You could also cheat and warp there, which of course ruins the point a little.
Via Minecraftwiki.net
As well as ruining the feeling of reward from discovering this miracle on your own.
In this Notch-forsaken place, huge ridges of jagged rock would spring vertically out of the ground with endless holes carved into them. The game could also, in certain spots, accidentally render extra layers of "ground" and sky that would stack on top of each other and fill the sky above you, like a pixelated version of the future from The Matrix.
Via Minecraftwiki.net
Sorry, but if you want to impress us, build the human battery farm.
Weirder still, the game had a strange issue with rendering movement animations in the Far Lands, making it look like you were standing still and this demon world was rotating under you. Plants, animals and even the terrain itself appeared to be coming ever closer to you, while you were unable to move and presumably screaming inside.
Finally, if you spent too long in the Far Lands, the game would most likely crash, as though the madness had warped your computer and sent it into a gibbering fit of shrieking and cursing in dark, forgotten languages.
Via Minecraftwiki.net
"May the Dark Lords forgive us all."
In the most recent versions of the game, the geography bugs are fixed, but the weird physics bugs and crashes remain. That leaves only one question: What's still out there that the game doesn't want us to see?
#4. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening -- The Doghouse Glitch
Via Hyperspin-fe.com
In 1993, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the original Game Boy. Aside from having both a spoiler and a falsehood in its title (Zelda isn't even in the game, you guys), it also stands out for being kind of weird, even for a Nintendo game. Most of the creatures, areas and people you meet have a dreamlike quality.
Via Destructoid.com
"It's dangerous to go sober. Take this peyote."
But the doghouse glitch takes all of that to a whole new level. At any point in the game, as long as you've killed at least one monster, you can go back to the house next door to the one you start in (the one with the Chain Chomp tied up outside) and use a simple maneuver to trick the game into letting you walk through the side of a doghouse instead of the front, which for some reason thrusts you into a mixed-up LSD-influenced nightmare dungeon.
The dungeon will be different every time you go in, but in this version, the first thing you see is the image of an empty room with a two-headed dog standing in the center, which lasts only about a second. During that second, Link only appears as a flashing icon on the upper left wall.
He's recreating that scene from Altered States.
As you explore the rest of the dungeon, phasing through walls and falling into holes that don't exist, you come across things like the disembodied heads of little girls holding swords ...
... and a room with a man who appears to be drowning over and over.
Those are either his bones, or the bones of the gypsy who cursed him.
If you explore enough, you can even find items that you shouldn't be able to get until later in the game (and some that aren't obtainable in the game at all), mashed up versions of enemies, garbled sprites, doors and chests that won't open, and quite possibly the horrifying secret that the universe itself was created to hide.
Furthermore, the dungeon actually changes itself based on how many creatures you've killed since your last continue, like a House of Leaves-style labyrinth or a personal hell tailored to the amount of sins you committed while you were alive.
"This is the room where we store all of the families you cut in half."
Creepiest of all is that you can't choose when to leave, so if you want to go back to the normal game, you have to reset the console or die in there, the latter of which we don't recommend if you value your sanity.

Audi RS4 Avant 2013
Audi unveiled its 2013 RS4 Avant this week in Geneva. But just like most other RS models, this one too, will not be coming to the US. Though, Audi fans worldwide will have something to cheer for since they have their favorite car to challenge Mercedes AMG and BMW M. The 2013 RS4 Avant seems to be Audi's entrant in the high-end performance car segment, which in the past 5 years or so has seen tremendous growth and improvement, both in terms of technological achievement and rising sales. Mercedes and BMW have captured this market well and it is now very hard for anyone to grab a chunk of this market. But with the launch of the 2013 RS4 Avant, Audi may well give them a good competition.

Usually I actively use only 10-20% of menu items, especially in different kinds of catalogs, so I wonder if there in any practice that highlights the menu items that are most chosen by a certain user. For example slightly change a background or font.
MS Office had adaptive menus for a few years, where the least used items would stop being shown without additional action by the user when the menu is open. It never seemed to please many people, as it kept the menu list unstable for scanning and position memorization.
Moreover, deciding when to put something into the category of 'most used' and when to remove it is tough, as you don't want items close to the threshold bouncing in and out of the most-used category over the course of say a day. It's something that sounds easy, but in practice isn't.
It seems that a person who is always hitting the same items may or may not gain some efficiency because their most used items are presented a differently, but they will certainly wonder why their menus change unless you do the additional work of working an explanation into the experience as well.
The BBC website used to have a feature where the various sections on the home page (sports, world, business, etc) most frequently accessed would shift in color and emphasis. It got quietly disabled some time ago, and now another redesign is in progress.
I disagree though that having different styling for specific menu choices isn't going to have an effect on selection speed, especially if there are a large number of items to scan through.
Changing the background colour or font (as you suggest) is probably the simplest way of doing it.
I would go with changing the background colour in a subtle way rather than the font. Also I would use a different colour for each of the highlighted items (and keep it consistent). That way you combine the colour, highlight, position, and text to help people find the menu item faster. Maybe something like this:
You could add an icon, but that may cause some confusion, so I would avoid it.
What you shouldn't do is change the order of the items, or remove / hide some items. That causes confusion and messes with people's positional memory when selecting a menu item.
I would rather not implement any "automagic" highlighting since (as others have mentioned already) this tends to confuse users.
A good approach, in my opinion (aside from revamping the site's structure so that users rarely encounter unscannable amounts of items) would be a "starring"-type system that lets users mark their own "favorites". Gmail's inbox is a rather good example of how it's done right.
There also might be decent "secondary" approaches, such as stackexchange's very own "favorite tags" solution: Users can select a "kind of stuff" they are interested in and it gets more or less subtly highlighted from there on.
Most important point, in my opinion, is that the user has to stay in control of what happens at all times. Microsoft's "adaptive menus" have been mentioned above; I witnessed people literally smacking random stuff into their monitors because of the permanent frustration caused by menu items disappearing.
