Box Score | Game Notes
Cedar Park, Texas (October 19, 2013) – The San Antonio Rampage (2-4-0-0) were blanked in their first of six trips to Cedar Park Center on Saturday night, as the Texas Stars (3-1-1-0) claimed a 6-0 victory over the Silver and Black.
The Rampage sported the best penalty kill in the league entering the game, operating at 95.8 percent, but Texas was able to capitalize with the man advantage on three occasions (3-for-7).
The shutout defeat marked the first time since March 30, 2013 that the Rampage have been blanked. Texas netminder Josh Robinson earned the shutout in his first career AHL game, stopping all 26 shots he faced.
Rampage netminder Scott Clemmensen, who was loaned to San Antonio from Florida on Friday, stopped 35-of-41 shots in his second start of the year for the Rampage.
Stars forward Travis Morin tallied two goals and an assist on the night, upping his total to 11 points in five games. Chris Mueller also had a three point night, tallying one goal and two assists.
Morin opened the scoring early in the first period when he charged the net on a mini-breakaway and was hauled down by a Rampage defenseman, which resulted in a penalty shot being whistled. Morin deked Clemmensen and deposited the puck into the back of the net. The goal marked the first time the Rampage have surrendered a penalty-shot goal since Dec. 9, 2009.
San Antonio had plenty of jump following the early Texas goal. By the midway point of the period, the Rampage had already recorded 12 shots on Robinson.
As the opening period continued, the ice began to tilt in favor of the Stars. But Morin's goal held as the only marker of the frame, as both teams went into the first intermission with 13 shots on goal.
The Rampage opened the second period with a power play only 37 seconds into the frame. Drew Shore had a great opportunity to tie the game off a bang-bang play with the man advantage, but Robinson was able to slide post-to-post just in time to make a pad save.
Jon Matsumoto had another golden opportunity on the same power play when he found the puck at the left faceoff circle. Matsumoto unleashed a quick snap shot, but it rang off the post.
Texas rookie Brendan Ranford opened up a two-goal lead on the Rampage at 6:15 of the second period. Ranford capitalized on a San Antonio turnover and fired a shot over the glove of Clemmensen for his second goal in as many nights against the Silver and Black.
Toby Petersen gave Texas a 3-0 lead at 11:44 of the second period and Mueller followed suit with a power-play goal less than four minutes later to open up a four-goal lead for the Stars. The power-play tally broke a streak of 14-straight penalties killed by San Antonio.
The Stars picked up right where they left off to start the third period. Morin scored his second of the night at 2:27 while on the power play to make it 5-0.
Play turned chipping in the third period, as a total of 76 penalty minutes were called in the final frame. The Stars tacked on their final goal of the night at 15:21 off the stick of defenseman William Wrenn.
San Antonio finished the night 0-for-5 on the power play, while Texas was 3-for-7 with the man advantage. The Stars also held the edge in shots, 41-26.
The Rampage will continue play against their West division foes on Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26 at AT&T Center when the Oklahoma City Barons make the trip to the Alamo City. Puck drop on Friday is set for 7:30 p.m. on a KZEP / Bud Light Dollar Drink Night.
Individual and season tickets can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554, or online at sarampage.com.

Creamed Kale
A simple but remarkably tasty dish. 3 out of 4 kids freaked out just at the sight of the kale. The other one ate 3 servings.
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed, chopped (around 4 cups)
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 1 1/4 cups cashew cream (more if needed)
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat oil in a large pot over med heat. Saute onion and garlic for a few mins, until translucent, being careful not to burn.
2. Add kale and a bit of salt and sauté for a few mins, until vibrant green and slightly wilted.
3. Add wine and cook, uncovered, for about 5-7 mins, until liquid is reduced and kale is tender.
4. Add cashew cream and mix well. Cook for 2-3 mins until cream is thickened. Add more if you want creamier kale. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This looks absolutely amazing, and I love the idea of the cashew cream. I have been searching for things to do with kale as I have heard it is very nutritional, so thank you for this wonderful recipe. Now I just have to find some Kale...!

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was just stellar. Sadly, wine doesn't usually last long enough in our house to get used in cooking, so I used white wine vinegar instead (a much smaller amount) so it probably would have been even better if I'd been able to follow the recipe to the T. It was still so delicious. I'll be using this one again. I'm so glad to be seeing more recipe posts from you again!

Looks like 'boerenkoolstamp', which is one of the staples of Dutch wintercuisine, one of my fave dishes. Except our version uses mashed potatoes instead of creamed cashews. I'll have to try this recipe someday soon, sounds delicious (minus the wine, sorry).

I just made, and ate, this. It's fabulous!!! I added a pinch of nutmeg, otherwise I followed the recipe as written. I love kale, but it's usually just something I add to soup or a stir-fry. This is the first recipe I've made where kale is the main event. It's surely going to be one of my "go to" recipes from now on. I'm also thinking of ways to change it a bit to suit my mood - add dill or nutritional yeast, maybe. Thank you for sharing this, and all your other recipes. You rock, Vegan Dad!

nice. I think it was Chef Tal's book that gave me the idea of stirring a cashew cream into risotto's and the like after thy've come off the heat. It's a good trick.

This recipe is absolutely fantastic!! I will be making this over and over again! I can't believe it took me this long to make cashew cream either. Other recipes called for long soaking periods and that always put me off. Just letting the nuts soak while I prepped the other ingredients for this dish resulted in smooth and perfect cream.

We like kale in our house but always have it the same way (steamed then a quick saute with a dash of vinegar) so I was interested in this recipe as a way to change things up a bit. The only changes I made were to the preparation. I soaked the cashews before making the cream because my blender isn't very strong. And I steamed my kale before additing to the recipe to make sure it was very tender. The hint of wine in the background made the cream sauce so tasty. I'm thinking it would be a good 'gravy' for tofu, setian, etc and will probably make it on it's own without the kale antoher time. Although with the kale it was super. My husband told me I had to make kale this way from now on.

My question has two parts.
Is it right to design a responsive site for the web and display it on a mobile device?
Should sites be designed separately for mobile devices?
My question has two parts.
closed as not constructive by dnbrv, Ben Brocka♦, Rahul♦ Feb 27 '12 at 14:51
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I probably sound like a broken record but it depends on the specific situation.
If you can base your decision on actual research all the better. Is there a current site, can you use analytics to see if anyone is currently viewing your site on other devices? If it's a new site can you do some research as to who your audience are and how they will access?
In most instances I would encourage using responsive design techniques, but there may be more complex scenarios where offering a totally different site for mobile may make sense. Or even building a native mobile application. For instance maybe the web and mobile services differ? In which case using responsive web techniques may not go far enough.
Being a web-site designer for half my life, and now making my own mobile applications, I can offer a very simple piece of advice, let the user decide if he or she wants to use a mobile application, or full web-site. If you need to use a mobile application, try using the output of a content management system to get all your content into your mobile application, and be sure to make the experience as similar to your full web-site, as possible. If you have a mobile web-site, instead of an application, that contains all the same content and information, and is easily accessible using the same address, while at the same time, allowing the user to use the full web-site, you may have a better over all user experience.
Assuming that your site is using classical pages that are put together on the server (and not a client side page built with eg. Backbone.js) then I would say that you need to consider if the full pages makes sense on a small screen before starting to try and make a responsive design for a small screen.
Eg. many blogs has enormous sidebars with lots and lots of not very relevant content. It may look okay on a big desktop screen, but when trying to make it all fit together on a small screen you realize that there's no logical place to put these things since the otherwise empty space they occupy on a big desktop screen doesn't exist on the small screen - instead the content has to occupy the full width of small screens and it's not relevant enough to justify that.
So - if you, like eg. blogs, have much irrelevant content on your pages, then you're probably better of creating a separate design for the mobile pages where you can remove that content and have the design fully focus on your core content.
If you don't have much irrelevant content - then do whatever makes sense from a technical point of view.

Many foundations and powders contain sunscreen, but is it enough for daily protection?
By Susan P. Clark
Reviewed by Emmy M. Graber, MD
WebMD Feature
Sunscreen and Your Makeup Routine
You want to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer, so you are dedicated to wearing sunscreen. But coverage looks shiny or chalky, especially under makeup.
Many foundations and other makeup products offer a built-in sun protection factor (SPF). Is that your smartest beauty solution? Dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD, says giving in to that temptation would be a mistake.
"Makeup does not provide enough coverage," she says. "You need seven times the normal amount of foundation and 14 times the normal amount of powder to get the sun protection factor on the label. No one does this."
So can you marry makeup and sunscreen in your routine and still look good? Yes, if you follow these steps.
1. Select the proper sunscreen.
Before you step in front of the bathroom mirror, find a sunscreen that offers enough protection. The Skin Cancer Foundation advises people to use a moisturizer containing broad-spectrum sunscreen (which means it blocks both UVA and UVB rays) with an SPF rating of at least 15. Ingredients such as zinc oxide, avobenzone (Parsol 1789) or ecamsule (Mexoryl), combined with octocrylene and avobenzone work best with makeup and provide broad spectrum sun protection.
- Baumann says to layer a physical sunscreen, such as Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 15, with a chemical sunscreen (either Topix Glycolix Elite Sunscreen SPF 30 or Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Sensitive Skin SPF 30), to block most of the sun's rays.
- Tina Turnbow, makeup artist, advises using a natural moisturizer, such as Pur-lisse pur-protect SPF 30, which is light and smooth and good for dewy skin. She also says Arcona Reozone SPF 20 is a little richer but has more of a matte finish.
- Patti Bell, makeup artist, says DDF Matte Finish Photo-Age Protection SPF 30 is oil-free.
- Karen Houpt, dermatologist, says that If you're concerned about an unflattering white pall, avoid products with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
2. Apply sunscreen liberally.
"Apply a thin, even coat, approximately one teaspoon for face, neck, and ears," Houpt says. ""Let the sunscreen soak into the skin and dab the excess with tissue. After you finish applying sunscreen, wash the residue off your hands before applying makeup.

Faculty members found on this page are responsible for teaching the foundation course of the program, Introduction to African and Diaspora Studies, 201.
Introduction to African and Diaspora Studies is designed to introduce students to the discipline of African and Diaspora Studies. The class will focus on major questions such as the influence of cultural integrity and the political struggle for equality in two hemispheres on cultural traditions, values and social institutions. Of particular interest is the transformation of identity over the last five hundred years as Africans, African Americans, and African Caribbean's have been exposed to European domination and exploitation. (AFST 201, Fall 01, Rosenberg)
Dr. Carmiele Wilkerson Program Director (327-6127)
Dr. Wilkerson is an associate professor of English. She teaches courses in Afro-Caribbean literature, the African Diaspora and Introduction to African and Diaspora Studies. Her research interests have led her to write publications on W.E.B. Du Bois and on Afro-Caribbean national identity. In addition to serving on the African and Diaspora Studies Program Advisory Committee, Dr. Wilkerson has initiated a program on Wittenberg's campus, "Celebrating Women of Color," which she organizes yearly. The program occurs during African American History month and bridges with Women's Month.
Dr. Scott Rosenberg (327-7846)
After completing a two-year stint as a Peace Corps volunteer in the African Kingdom of Lesotho, Dr. Rosenberg earned a Master's in International Affairs and African Studies from Ohio University. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in African and African American history at Indiana University. Since arriving at Wittenberg, Professor Rosenberg has offered courses on African history ranging from survey-level classes, such as African Societies to 1500 and the Formation of Modern Africa, to mid-level classes on South Africa, to upper-level classes on Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Gender in 20th century Africa, and a colloquium on South Africa. Dr. Rosenberg will teach Introduction to African and Diaspora Studies during its first two years. The course will then rotate among other African and Diaspora Studies faculty.

When Battlefield 2142 first came out, my brother created an account and then we both played created a soldier in the account. Now the price for 2142 had dropped drastically and I've bought another copy of the game so we can play online together. However, you can't use the same account to play online at the same time, so is it possible for me to "move" the soldier from his account to my account? I'd rather not loose the solider that I've been playing on for the last 4-odd years.
Unfortunately, that is the simple answer.
I personally doubt it.
The only way you're going to find out is by contacting EA Support here
After clicking that link, you will need to click the box on the right that says "Talk to a game adviser". This will prompt you to login to your account and then you will need to fill in which game you want support with and what platform it's for. They then offer an e-mail based support (from what I could see). There is also an option for calling them directly.
Having had personal experience of some EA support regarding account issues I doubt they will honour your request I'm afraid. It's definitely worth a try though.

TEMPLE (November 30, 2012)--Bonham Middle School students are reaching out to teenagers from abused homes by collecting small items to fill Christmas stockings.
The students hope age appropriate gifts for teens like lotion, makeup, gift cards, and other items, will spread Christmas cheer to those who need it most.
The project is a coordinated effort with GEAR UP which is designed to help young Americans stay in school, develop good study skills and take the right courses to go to college.
Items can be donated by the public and will be collected at the school.
GEAR UP Director Valorie McKamie is spearheading the effort.


text: Hello, if this question has been previously asked and answered, please let me know and point me in the right direction. Basically, I am moving into an apartment with 2 bedrooms. The bedroom we are going to use as storage has an attached half-bathroom (toilet and small sink). I would like to somehow use this bathroom as a washer/dryer room. Since I'm renting I don't want to plumb. I have had some ideas on how to do this: - Have the washing machine drain directly into the toilet tank with the toilet water off and the tank water valve removed (this toilet will not be used for other purposes). - Buy some kind of large plastic washer's sink drain to that and have that drain into the toilet or sink. - Remove toilet and somehow convert that drain into a drain for the washer. I would be buying a high-effeciency washer in hopes of lessening the flow of water out. Please, if you have any advice.. chime in. BTW, my landlord doesn't care, and the condo association does not prohibit this. The only thing is that if I do any plumbing wihtin the walls, I need their permission. Thanks!

I'm watching this video lecture by Leonard Susskind of Stanford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3apIZCpmdls
After some preliminaries, at 34 minutes he jumps into a discretization of the time axis and proceeds to mess around with it and the Lagrangian, completely losing me in the process. I haven't come across this discrete method before. What is this called and are there any resources on the net (or textbooks) that use this approach rather than a continuous approach? Is it necessary to do this discretely rather than continuously?

I've been trying to install Ubuntu for last 2 days, and have gone through many webpages for help with no avail.
Here's what I did:
I downloaded
Unetbootin and used it to mount the 12.10 Desktop Edition
.iso file to 4GB USB. The computer i'm trying to install does not support USB booting. But by going to Hard Drives --> Extra Plugin in boot many(F12), it does allow USB booting. and it opens and shows the error
invalid or corrupt kernal image boot:.
I guess if I give the directive to the booting file which it asks for, it will allow me to install. Or what should I do to install it? This same error has shown before when I tried to install it through CD.
The above method is what I tried last. I have tried many ways. By using USB Installer, the error is
UI Directive not found, or something like that. It was caused by my USB being NTFS.
Edit: I formatted my USB to FAT32. My C:/ is already FAT32.

Graduates representing six Missouri campuses to attend
Friday, May 05, 2006
[Columbia, Mo.] - U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof will address graduates at the Columbia College main campus commencement ceremony at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 6 in Southwell Complex (700 Range Line Road) in Columbia.
In addition to commencement, the college will hold the traditional Ivy Chain ceremony at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 6.
In total, the college will confer undergraduate and master's degrees on more than 850 students in May, representing a record number of graduates for the college. Of that number, more than 470 are expected to participate in the ceremony in Columbia. Students from 15 Columbia College Nationwide Campuses also will participate, including six Missouri campuses: Christian County, Fort Leonard Wood, Jefferson City, Kansas City, Moberly and Rolla.
Two students from the main campus in Columbia, Bethany Campbell and Amanda Mueller, are the college's first graduates of the DAYSTAR program. DAYSTAR is a four-year-plus program that allows students to earn a Bachelor of Arts in an academic area, such as biology, math or history, plus a Master of Arts in Teaching. Students graduating from this program are certified to teach in Missouri at the elementary, middle or secondary school level. After earning their bachelor's degrees in May, both Campbell and Mueller say they will begin work on their master's degrees in teaching at Columbia College.
Mueller said the DAYSTAR program will help her accomplish her post-graduation goals. "I will be a qualified teacher with a great amount of experience in various types of classroom environments," she said. "DAYSTAR has taught me how to be determined and diligent, as well as hardworking. While the program has encouraged me to grow professionally, I think it has given me the chance to grow personally, as well."
Five students, Leslie Gaines, Kylie Perkins, Jamie Perry, Kriss Riles and Lori Wolverton, are the first graduates of the new Human Resources Program at Columbia College-Moberly, earning bachelor's degrees in business administration with majors in human resources.
Two exemplary non-traditional students also will earn degrees in May. Andy Snyder of Columbia College-Moberly will earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in management summa cum laude with a 4.0 grade point average. Snyder, who is married and the father of three children, worked full time at Moberly Regional Medical Center as the inpatient rehabilitation coordinator while pursuing his degree. He is preparing to enter the Master of Business Administration program at William Woods University. Recognized in the 2005 International Who's Who of Students, Snyder also received the 2005 Frank Westling Scholarship for outstanding community service.
Dorothy ("Dori") Cantrell, 57, administrative assistant for Columbia College-Kansas City, is the first college graduate in her family. She had been out of school for more than 30 years. Cantrell began college courses at Columbia College-Kansas City in January 2004. In May, she will earn a bachelor's degree in business administration cum laude, but possibly magna cum laude depending on her final grade point average.

Like other muscle- and ponycars in the early-'70s, sales of the Chrysler E-body Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger were mortally wounded by a coalition of forces working against high-performance automobiles. By levying premium surcharges against these cars, the insurance industry made it almost impossible for young drivers to afford them. Further compounding the problem were voices in and out of the federal government criticizing Detroit for selling what they considered "lethal weapons." The final blow to musclecars was the industry's shift in emphasis from performance to research, as Detroit struggled to meet an onslaught of upcoming government mandates for cleaner engine emissions.
These three factors severely impacted the market, and by 1974, the Barracuda and Challenger were doomed, as ponycar sales plummeted. And while proposals were made for a new generation of E-bodies, Chrysler management was not interested in perpetuating a product line that didn't fit into its plans for a future consisting of Aspens, Horizons, Omnis, Valiants, and Volares. There was simply no place for sporty, high-performance cars.
Ironically, Chrysler management pulled the plug on the Barracuda and Challenger just as the ponycar market was showing an upward trend that would reach its zenith at the end of the '70s. "We got out of the only part of the market that grew," Carl Cameron reflects. Cameron was a designer in the Dodge Studio, responsible for the '70 Challenger. "We abandoned it, and I always thought that was a mistake."
A significant part of the problem, according to former Chrysler employees, was that management was made of financial executives with little or no understanding of the marketplace or the product. And, because the finance people now made meaningful decisions regarding product, the "car guys" and buyers no longer had the clout to push product through the system. Other critics pointed to 1968, when Chrysler had a record-breaking sales year but chose not to invest the money in product development. "Our primary business was designing, building, and selling cars," one former employee says. "The money wasn't put back into product. Instead, it was used to diversify into other areas, some of which were losers that cost Chrysler dearly."
There was also internal controversy about product engineering decisions. Many inside Chrysler questioned management's choice to make the '70 Challenger longer and wider than the Barracuda. Sharing body shells would have saved the corporation millions of dollars that eventually could have gone into future development.
The postmortems would come later, because in the spring of 1969, the Plymouth Advanced Design Studio was working on the next-generation Barracuda. Chrysler had a four-year lead time from design to production, and no one expected the E-body to be cancelled-so it was business as usual in the styling studio.
Two Designs, One Goal
Two advanced designs for the '75 Barracuda were slowly evolving. Designer Shunsuke "Matty" Matsurra created one version, influenced by fellow designer Don Hood's renderings. The other concept was by the team of John Herlitz and John Sampson. Both teams worked separately; however, they studied each other's concepts and shared ideas. "We struggled to define the Fourth Gen Barracuda," recalls designer Milt Antonick. "We wanted the car to look more fluid, and yet retain the Barracuda's muscular and aggressive look." Each team thought it was important to preserve the ramps found in the shape of the '70 to '74 E-body's front fenders and rear quarters, and to be sensitive to retaining a certain amount of product image.
Herlitz and Sampson advanced the fluid look, while Matsurra's clays carried a more muscular motif. "We started somewhat conservatively, with variations on the current Barracuda theme," Antonick says. "We then deliberately pushed the design theme as far toward a fluid, muscular look as possible." The teams discovered that doing so only exaggerated the idea.
After numerous cycles of sketches and clays, the teams narrowed it down from four designs to two. Both the Plymouth and Dodge studios viewed the proposals. "I saw them," Cameron says, "and they were beautiful. Matty Matsurra did beautiful body sides. They were neat, and I liked them."
The final proposal for the '75 Barracuda was actually a blend of both designs. "Because we had two models," Antonick says, "we retained a variation of the Barracuda's fender forms on one clay, and tried to enhance it in the other." The vestiges of the '70 to '74 'Cuda fender forms were still intact, while the fluid look was evident in the rolling quarter-panels and hood.
The End Cometh-In Cincinnati, Ohio
In the fall of 1969, the final '75 designs were approved, and the clays were transferred to a fiberglass body, which was then trimmed to look like a completed car. This prototype was then taken to Cincinnati, Ohio, for viewing by a consumer survey group. The results were not good. "That wild body went to Cincinnati of all places, and it was a disaster," remembers Antonick. "I came back from Cincinnati and realized it was all over; management didn't want musclecars anymore. It was the saddest day of my career at Chrysler." As if an omen, the "Cincinnati car" unfortunately fell off a forklift during transport and was damaged.
It was obvious that management had stacked the deck against the Barracuda by using the conservative Cincinnati survey group. If the car had gone to Los Angeles, for example, it would have received a positive rating, which was not what Chrysler wanted. Although the studio was instructed to prepare some "nose jobs" for the current car to extend its life beyond 1974, it was clear to many in the Plymouth Design Studio that the Barracuda's fate was cursed.
Cancelling their ponycar program would prove to be a colossal mistake. The ponycar market enjoyed a tremendous resurgence from the mid-'70s to the early-'80s, and the fact that Dodge and Plymouth were not there to share in the bounty proves just how out of touch Chrysler was. "Unfortunately," observes Cameron, "back then we always went after the basic transportation guys, and left the specialty market and high-level, high-profit items to General Motors and Ford."
Would the radically redesigned '75 Barracuda and Challenger have shared in the revitalized ponycar market? The clays indicate an aggressive, exciting car that would have dated the Firebird and Camaro, making them obsolete. "I think our cars would have been competitive," Cameron says. "We would have kept the market share we had."
A Missed Opportunity
But would the hypothetical success of Chrysler's ponycars have prevented the corporation's bankruptcy? While the question will never be answered, enough factors exist to make a valid argument that Chrysler certainly would have been financially healthier. GM's decision to retain its ponycars proved to be profitable. At it's lowest point in 1973, Pontiac's Firebird sold just 29,951 units. By 1979, sales exploded to more than 211,000 (accounting for two out of every five Pontiacs sold). What makes this all the more amazing is that Pontiac's marketing group recommended killing the Firebird when it was on the ropes in 1972, in favor of smaller, more conservative models. The decision to keep the Firebird ultimately played a major role in Pontiac's survival.
The same could be said for Chevrolet and Ford. The Camaro tallied 89,988 units in 1973, climbing to 282,571 by 1979. Whereas Ford's '73 Mustang sold 134,867 units in the last year of its styling cycle. Even the star-crossed '74 Mustang II sold 385,993 copies in 1974, and the new '79 Mustang registered 369,936. Just how much of this volume could have been captured by the Barracuda and Challenger can't be known, but it's a sure bet that sales for both cars would have been more than enough to justify their existence.
The decline and fall of Chrysler Corporation reads like a classic case of managerial incompetence by an undercapitalized, aging company erring at a critical and unforgiving time. "Chrysler doesn't do anything first," notes Car & Driver. "Instead, it carefully watches what everybody else in Detroit is doing, and when it sees an area of abnormal market activity it leaps exactly on that spot. Because it always leaps late-which is inevitable if it doesn't begin to prepare its entry into the market until someone else already has one-it tries to make up for being late by jumping onto said spot harder than everybody else." In the mid- to late-'70s, Chrysler failed to hit the right spots, and the only salvation was a government bailout.
When the '70s were over, the ponycar had survived, but two important nameplates-Barracuda and Challenger-were gone. If Chrysler had produced a new generation of E-bodies, the corporation's fate might have been kinder. The Barracuda and Challenger would not have saved Chrysler, but it's possible their sales could have softened the blows the corporation suffered in their darkest days of the late-'70s.
It took more than 30 years, but a rejuvenated Chrysler is finally coming full circle, reentering the ponycar market with the '08 Challenger. You've seen the Challenger concept car, but as we went to press, these new preproduction photos were leaked from inside the Brampton, Ontario, LX-platform plant, where the Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 are made. And while Plymouth's Barracuda name is finito, the same basic idea lives on in the forthcoming Challenger. Of the dozen or so photos we saw, it looks like pilot-line Challengers are scattered throughout the Brampton plant, as details of the assembly operation are worked out. In the first photo, the tag affixed to the front bumper support indicates that portions of the body are to be manually welded-probably because those specific assembly stations have not yet been finished.

This is the front end of the same clay, now outside in the styling studio's courtyard on May 2, 1969. Two different hood and grille proposals were shown. The large opening at the valance on the right side included a concave hood, while the left-hand side has a more traditional hood line, tipped with a bumper that has a recessed fog lamp. This angle illustrates how the driver-side fender also bulges out farther over the wheel opening.Another proposal on the Matsurra clay was this low, smooth, semi-fastback backlight, which moved the header panel rearward. The floating spoiler was retained on this clay. Notice how the upper air extractor wraps around the top of the front fender.Check out these two variations on the Fourth Gen Barracuda theme. On the left is one of Matsurra's clays, with its deep-tunneled backlight fairing into quarters. The quarter-panel ramps were similar to the '70-'74 design. The spoiler was center mounted on the decklid, and blended into the ends that were in line with the tops of the quarter panels. The taillamp panel was recessed above what would have been a concealed rear bumper, and on the right is Don Hood's "Vestige" clay, with two different proposals for taillamp and rear bumper configurations. Note the extreme ramping over the rear-wheel opening.A side view of the "Cincinnati car" shows the compromised rear roofline, including the tunnel back and recessed backlight. The combination formal/fastback roofline looks out of place compared to the rest of the bodyline, but to attain the roofline as shown, designers planned to recline the rear passenger seats. Smaller front fender air extractors were approved.Here's the post-Cincinnati nose job. This photo was taken on October 30, 1969, a few weeks after its disastrous showing. Hood's aerodynamic front end has been grafted onto a '74 Barracuda, and the basic body was carried over. Note the chin spoiler and the overall resemblance to Ford's '70 King Cobra Torino. This proposal was also rejected.Hood's front-end proposal included functional air intake scoops. Several approaches were tried, including recessed and hidden headlights, stripes, and decals.

Cranberries vs. Antibiotics for Bladder Infections
July 25, 2011 -- Women who are prone to bladder infections may get more help from daily antibiotics than cranberry capsules, a new study shows.
But don't count out the cranberry as a natural medicine for bladder infections, also known as urinary tract infections (UTIs), just yet.
Experts who reviewed the research say that it has important limitations that may explain why women who took the capsules didn't see benefits.
The study recruited 221 premenopausal women with a history of frequent bladder infections and split them into two groups.
The first group got a daily dose of 480 milligrams of the antibiotic Bactrim. The second group took 1,000 milligrams of cranberry extract -- the brand used in the study was Cran-Max -- every day.
Study participants regularly took urine samples, which were tested for bacteria, and they noted any signs of UTIs, like back pain, or burning or urgency with urination.
After a year, the average number of UTIs reported by the antibiotic group was about two, compared to four in the cranberry group. Before the study started, the women said they'd averaged six to seven UTIs in the previous year.
Antibiotic Resistance
While the group taking the antibiotics had fewer infections, they also developed much higher levels of resistance not only to the drugs they were currently taking but also to other antibiotics.
That's a concern, says study researcher Suzanne E. Geerlings, MD, PhD, of the Center for Infection and Immunity Amsterdam at Academic Medical Center in the Netherlands, because it means that doctors have fewer weapons to turn to when an infection flares.
"In my opinion, it is not time to give up cranberries," Geerlings tells WebMD in an email. "The take-home message for women with recurrent UTI is that cranberries are less effective in prevention but do not result into resistant microorganisms."
Doctors who treat women with UTIs say they like the study because it weighs in on something patients often ask: Do cranberries work, and do they work as well as antibiotics?
"I think it's a good study," says Elizabeth Kavaler, MD, a urology specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "The outcome is what you would expect, that the patients on the antibiotics are going to do better."
She says that while cranberries may offer some benefits, they can be tough to use as a medicine.
"There's a bunch of problems with cranberries," Kavaler says. "The pills that you get, we don't even know what's in them. Then, how much do you need?"

What are the examples of some mathematicians coming very close to a very promising theory or a correct proof of a big conjecture but not making or missing the last step?
Freeman Dyson discusses a few examples of this in his article Missed Opportunities. One that I thought was particularly striking was that mathematicians could have discovered special relativity decades before Einstein just by staring at Maxwell's equations hard enough, and also on the basis that the representation theory of the Poincare group is simpler than the representation theory of the Galilean group.
Emil L. Post was very close to proving Gödel's incompleteness theorem, and the existence of algorithmically unsolvable problems in the early 1920s. He realized that one could enumerate all algorithms, and hence obtain an unsolvable problem by diagonalization. Moreover, the "problem" can be viewed as a computable list of questions $Q_1,Q_2,Q_3,\ldots$ for which the sequence of answers (yes or no) is not computable. It follows that there cannot be any complete formal system that proves all true sentences of the form "The answer to $Q_i$ is yes" or "The answer to $Q_i$ is no," because this would solve the unsolvable problem.
But then Post was stuck because he needed to formalize the notion of computation. He had in fact (an equivalent of) the right definition, but logicians were not ready for a definition of computation, and did not believe there was such a thing until the Turing machine concept came along in 1936. Gödel avoided this problem when he proved his theorem (1930) by proving incompleteness of a particular system (Principia Mathematica).
In the book The Scientists by John Gribbin, he mentions that, in his search for the theory of general relativity, Einstein apparently wrote down a correct equation that would have led him to correctly discovering the rest of the equations for general relativity very quickly. But, he did not see the equation for what it was and ran down the wrong path for two entire years before coming back to the correct equation. Here's the quote from the book:
"Einstein himself is often presented as the prime example of someone who did great things alone, without the need for a community. This myth was fostered, perhaps even deliberately, by those who have conspired to shape our memory of him. Many of us were told a story of a man who invented general relativity out of his own head, as an act of pure individual creation, serene in his contemplation of the absolute as the First World War raged around him.
It is a wonderful story, and it has inspired generations of us to wander with unkempt hair and no socks around shrines like Princeton and Cambridge, imagining that if we focus our thoughts on the right question we could be the next great scientific icon. But this is far from what happened. Recently my partner and I were lucky enough to be shown pages from the actual notebook in which Einstein invented general relativity, while it was being prepared for publication by a group of historians working in Berlin. As working physicists it was clear to us right away what was happening: the man was confused and lost - very lost. But he was also a very good physicist (though not, of course, in the sense of the mythical saint who could perceive truth directly). In that notebook we could see a very good physicist exercising the same skills and strategies, the mastery of which made Richard Feynman such a great physicist. Einstein knew what to do when he was lost: open his notebook and attempt some calculation that might shed some light on the problem.
So we turned the pages with anticipation. But still he gets nowhere. What does a good physicist do then? He talks with his friends. All of a sudden a name is scrawled on the page: 'Grossman!!!' It seems that his friend has told Einstein about something called the curvature tensor. This is the mathematical structure that Einstein had been seeking, and is now understood to be the key to relativity theory.
Actually I was rather pleased to see that Einstein had not been able to invent the curvature tensor on his own. Some of the books from which I had learned relativity had seemed to imply that any competent student should be able to derive the curvature tensor given the principles Einstein was working with. At the time I had had my doubts, and it was reassuring to see that the only person who had ever actually faced the problem without being able to look up the answer had not been able to solve it. Einstein had to ask a friend who knew the right mathematics.
The textbooks go on to say that once one understand the curvature tensor, one is very close to Einstein's theory of gravity. The questions Einstein is asking should lead him to invent the theory in half a page. There are only two steps to take, and one can see from this notebook that Einstein has all the ingredients. But could he do it? Apparently not. He starts out promisingly, then he makes a mistake. To explain why his mistake is not a mistake he invents a very clever argument. With falling hearts, we, reading the notebook, recognize his argument as one that was held up to us as an example of how not to think about the problem. As good students of the subject we know that the agument being used by Einstein is not only wrong but absurd, but no one told us it was Einstein himself who invented it. By the end of the notebook he has convinced himself of the truth of a theory that we, with more experience of this kind of stuff than he or anyone could have had at the time, can see is not even mathematically consistent. Still, he convinced himself and several others of its promise, and for the next two years they pursued this wrong theory. Actually the right equation was written down, almost accidentally, on one page of the notebook we looked at it. But Einstein failed to recognize it for what it was, and only after following a false trail for two years did he find his way back to it. When he did, it was questions his good friends asked him that finally made him see where he had gone wrong."
Archimedes and the Integral calculus?
In their attempts of justifying Euclid's fifth postulate, Girolamo Saccheri and Johann Heinrich Lambert proved many theorems of non-Euclidean geometry. However, they were so convinced that the fifth postulate must be true that they stopped short of actually discovering the new geometry.
Fulkerson came extremely close to a proof of the Perfect Graph Conjecture eventually proved by Lovasz. He was stuck on one relatively easy lemma, which he had apparently become convinced was false.
I don't know a reliable source for this, but I have heard that after learning that the conjecture was proven, Fulkerson went to his office and finished his own proof later that day.
A famous example is that John Conway, who fathered the concept of a Skein relation, didn't discover the Jones (or HOMFLYPT) polynomials. By just searching for knot invariants defined via Skein relations, he would doubtlessly have found them, and the history of low-dimensional topology would have looked quite different.
One of the important conjectures in set theory in the 60s was that strongly inaccessible cardinals are measurable. This was disproved by Tarski in 1960. Soon after this Erdős and Hajnal realized that they were very close to Tarski's result in their paper "On the structure of set mappings" which appeared in 1958.
Another miss was in the paper of Erdős, Hajnal, and Milner ("On sets of almost disjoint subsets of a set") from 1968 where they went pretty close to discovering Silver's famous theorem on GCH at singular cardinals of uncountable cofinality.
Leibniz was extremely close to 'discovering' modal logic. He definitely understood the difference between intension and extension, and knew about valuations as functions from possible worlds. And I don't mean that one can "extract" this from his writings by reading hard between the lines -- it is quite explicit, and in many manuscripts. He did not, of course, have the formal tools in hand needed to formalize these ideas, but then again no one did until the work of Frege after 1880 and Russell after 1900. That's a 200 year gap!
Schubert came extremely close to discovering the JSJ-decomposition of 3-manifolds in his paper "Knoten und Vollringe" (1953). With a little more work, one could turn Schubert's paper into something equivalent to the JSJ-decomposition applied to knot and link complements in $S^3$. That would have allowed people to conjecture the JSJ-decomposition for 3-manifolds, around 20 years earlier than it was.
It's interesting to speculate whether or not the connection between 3-manifold theory and hyperbolic geometry would have been made much earlier, as some of the ingredients were already in place -- Seifert-Weber space, and the Gieseking manifold, but I do not think people knew finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds to be atoroidal until much later.
In his final scientific work, the Two New Sciences, Galileo almost discovered Cantor's theory of infinite cardinalities ...
As mentioned in Categories for the Working Mathematician, Bourbaki nearly had the right definition of an adjunction 10-15 years before the proper definition was formulated by Dan Kan. In fact, Bourbaki actually proved the Special Adjoint functor theorem (cf. Categories for the Working Mathematician - notes at the end of the chapter on Adjunctions)
Edit: To explain a little more (from Mac Lane), Bourbaki had figured out most of these notions, but since they had not formulated the general adjoint functor theorem, only the special adjoint functor theorem, they restricted their definition of a "universal construction" to those adjunctions for which the SAFT holds. I find it pretty impressive that they were able to do all of this without the benefit of a formal framework for category theory.
Issac Barrow very nearly had the fundamental theorum of calculus a generation before Newton and Liebniz,but he failed to see the relationship between the quadrature problem and the fluxion problem,despite making huge contributions to the development of the theory of limits in both.
In The Sand Reckoner, Archimedes comes extremely close to discovering (inventing?) both the positional number system and some form of scientific notation: he uses the geometric sequence of powers of $10$ to express very large numbers and formulates and proves the fact that $10^m \times 10^n = 10^{m+n}$ (except that since he counts from $1$, it's a bit more messy).
The history of good models for spectra might be an example of missed discoveries. To briefly sketch this history: Spectra (in the sense of topology) were introced by Lima in a dissertation under the direction of George Whitehead in 1958; in the year 1964, Boardman gave a definition of the (homotopy) category of spectra and he also defined the smash product of spectra. But in his language, one could only formalize ring spectra up to homotopy. Peter May gave in his 1977 book $E_\infty$-ring spaces and $E_\infty$-ring spectra the first definition of an $E_\infty$-ring spectrum, i.e. a ring spectrum whose multiplication is associate and commutative in a homotopy coherent way. It was only in the 90s that people found models of spectra, where one can define $E_\infty$-ring spectra just as commutative monoids in a suitable category of spectra: Elmendorf, Kriz, Mandell and May came first with their $S$-modules and shortly after Jeff Smith defined symmetric spectra; shortly after that, Mandell, May, Schwede and Shipley defined the closely related model of orthogonal spectra. Compared to $S$-modules and the earlier formalizations of $E_\infty$-ring spectra, symmetric and orthogonal spectra are rather easy to define and produce a theory that is much easier to digest than the older ones.
The interesting thing is: Peter May already defined commutative orthogonal spectra in his 1977 book under the name $\mathcal{J}_*$-prefunctors. He did not realize at this point though that they are the commutative monoids in a symmetric monoidal category of orthogonal spectra (and that this category has a homotopy theory that is equivalent to that of spectra) - reasons might be that the Day convolution product wasn't really known then to topologists and also that the language of model categories wasn't widespread. It seems that May viewed these $\mathcal{J}_*$-prefunctors only as a convenient technical input to construct examples of spectra in his language.
In the 80s, Gunnarson (1982) and Bökstedt (1985) considered symmetric ring spectra without calling them this way or again without realizing fully their significance.
Schwede's unfinished book project has history sections, which give more information about this. It is certainly fair to say that the history of stable homotopy theory and algebraic K-theory would have been less convoluted if people had found symmetric or orthogonal spectra earlier -- but this history should also highlight that realizing that these definitions were so significant, was a highly non-trivial insight by Jeff Smith.
When I took a course in set theory, I was told that in the early 1920's, Thoralf Skolem essentially proved what is now Gödel's Completeness Theorem, but was unaware of its significance because the concept of completeness was not understood fully at the time.

Minutes of Fed meeting show sharp divisions
|Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is see during a news conference in Washington on June 19. Associated Press The Federal Reserve releases the minutes of its June policy meeting on Wednesday, July 10, 2013. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)
WASHINGTON -- Federal Reserve officials seem far from a consensus on the question that's consumed investors for months: When will the Fed slow its bond purchases?
Minutes of their June policy meeting show many members felt the job market's improvement would have to be sustained before the Fed would scale back its bond purchases, which have fueled spending and growth, lifted stocks and kept mortgage rates near record lows?

The One Hundred Paper Cuts project says it will fix 100 'paper cuts' in each release cycle. What is the definition of a paper cut?
From the papercut website:
As for the definition of a paper cut:
All the information on how to get involved is on the site too. See One Hundred Papercuts - Ubuntu Wiki for more information.
The definition of a paper cut
Put briefly, a paper cut is a trivially fixable usability bug that the average user would encounter in a default application included on the Ubuntu desktop. If you prefer a more detailed, itemized definition, a paper cut is:
If a potential paper cut fails to meet '''any''' of the criteria above, it is '''not''' a paper cut.
How can I tell if a bug is easy to fix?
A bug is easy to fix if it can be fixed by one person in one day. In practice, one or more people might work together over the course of a week to fix a paper cut, but if one competent developer cannot fix the bug in a single day, the bug cannot be considered a valid paper cut.
Many complex bugs become trivially fixable right before they are fixed. If a bug appears too complex to be considered a paper cut at first, it may turn out to be trivially fixable if it has a working patch that could be cleaned up and merged by one person in one day.
It often takes a good deal of technical experience to know whether or not a bug is trivially fixable. If in doubt, send a message to the Paper Cut Ninja mailing list, or ask in #ubuntu-desktop IRC channel on Freenode, where someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
Who is the average user?
If you are reading this answer, or reporting a paper cut on Launchpad, chances are that you are not the average user. To understand who the average user is, check out the following articles:
What is not a paper cut?
While a paper cut does have a definition, it's not too strict. If an issue lies on the border of being a paper cut and not being one, then report it anyway and the Paper Cut Ninjas will take it from there. If it satisfies one of the criteria for not being a paper cut yet you think it should be considered, then report it anyway and the Paper Cut Ninjas will decide what to do with it.
The paper cut team has a very open mind. If something looks and sounds like a paper cut, it probably is.

LONDON — The British government is throwing everything, including itself, but the kitchen sink at an unprecedented flooding crisis.
And for everything read not sandbags, plastic sea walls and Royal Marines commandos — although there is that too — but Prince Charles, Prime Minister David Cameron, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and opposition Labor Party leader Ed Miliband. There is also the distinguished lord who chairs the Environment Agency and an outspoken communities secretary with the last name of Pickles. And Tuesday, even Defense Secretary Philip Hammond joined the melee.
EXTREME WEATHER: Britain's flood crisis deepens, Thames burst banks
In fact, the record flow of water pummeling low-lying villages and towns up and down the British Isles is being matched by a game of frenzied, sleeves-rolled-up politicking that has seen the most senior members of the British government and political establishment hurriedly getting in boats, tractors and choppers to view the worst-hit areas, console local residents and point fingers — at each other.
Yet it is a public relations game that most British politicians appear to be losing, and Hammond drew an especially short stick on Tuesday.
"What will it take for you to understand?" Su Burrows, a clearly agitated volunteer, asked Hammond live on Sky News television as he toured the village of Wraysbury in Berkshire. "We are seriously in need of help. We need the army here. We said that yesterday but no one is taking us seriously."
An emotional Burrows said that days into efforts to stem the worst of the flooding in Wraysbury she had not seen a single environment agency worker helping to resolve the situation. "There are all in the office," she said.
"There is nobody coordinating efforts here apart from us," Burrows said. "We are directing people where they need to go, not the police, we are directing the police. We are directing the parking officers of the royal borough where they need to go to manage traffic. We are telling them where they need to close the roads. We have got rotas at the end of every single road managing traffic telling them where they can and cannot go. Why are the military not doing this, why is the Environment Agency not doing this?"
Hammond said that it was the "civil authorities who are in charge" and that he couldn't just "impose" the military. As the interview ended, he did say that he would try to connect the dots on some promised sandbags.
On Sunday, the communities secretary Eric Pickles said of the civilian-run Environment Agency: "We thought we were dealing with experts." Lord Chris Smith of the Environment Agency responded to that Monday, saying that the agency knew "100 times more" than politicians on the flooding issue.
Also addressing reporters on a visit to Wraysbury on Tuesday, Labor's Miliband said that "when government (leaders) start pointing the finger of blame at each other and government (agencies) it gets you nowhere." He said that he knows this as a result of his experience as a cabinet member under the last Labor government.
In Surrey town of Chertsey, meanwhile, the controversial United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage called on his party's supporters to back a petition in the Daily Mail newspaper that would see some of Britain's foreign aid budget diverted to flood relief.
"It is just plain common sense for a government to prioritize its own citizens when they are in need and in peril," he said, adding that "a large majority of the British public can see that. So why can't the political establishment?" Farage said.

For the density function below, I need to find $E(X)$ and $E(X^2)$. For $E(X)$, I did the following steps and got the answer of $-2/\sqrt{2\pi}$. However, this is incorrect as the correct answer is $\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}$. I am unsure what I did incorrectly. For $E(X^2)$, is there any easier way to do it than by integration by parts? Thanks for the help.
Also, I tried a different approach that didn't work at all and I was wondering why it was incorrect. I split it up into two standard normals by adding them. Then, I used the theorem that the sum of two normals is also normal with a mean that is the sum of the two original normals and a variance that is a sum of the variances of the original normals. Going by that logic, I should get a normal with a mean of $0$ and a variance of $2$; however, that is obviously incorrect, so I am just wondering why.
$$ f(x) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx, \ \ \ \ \ 0 < x < \infty $$ $$ E(X) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_0^\infty x e^{-\frac{x^2}{2}} dx. $$ Let $u = \frac{x^2}{2}$. $$ = - \frac{2}{\sqrt{2\pi}}. $$

I was asked in an interview how you can achieve dynamic polymorphism without extending a class. How can this be done?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Decorator design pattern that exploits encapsulation is what you're looking for.
Polymorphism through inheritance:
Polymorphism through encapsulation (Decorator pattern):
ps. More about decorators: http://www.yegor256.com/2015/02/26/composable-decorators.html
The simple solution is to write a class that implements an interface rather than extending a base class.
Another solution is to create a dynamic proxy ... which is essentially a clever way of implementing an interface without explicitly writing the class. See the
And yes, these are (or can be) examples of the decorator pattern, though the key thing here is the implementation techniques rather than the design pattern.
According to my experience, in most job interviews the questions do not look for way too elaborate answers, and most of the times are just tricky questions, so if they asked specifically for polymorphism without extending a class, then I would say:
Yes, you can have dynamic polymorphism by implementing an interface rather than extending a class
then if they would ask for more options then it would be ok to bring up proxies, patterns or something else.
Hope it helps!

No letdown for Hawks in 59-14 rout of St. Paul
BRISTOL — Trap game? Not even close. Woodland jumped out to a 40-0 lead Saturday at St. Paul and cruised the rest of the way, taking a 59-14 win over the Falcons to remain perfect in the Naugatuck Valley League Copper Division.
Some local fans thought the Hawks (5-0, 3-0) would have their hands full with the pass-happy Falcons (3-2, 2-1), especially after an emotional Week 4 win over Naugatuck. The only thing that ended up full was Woodland's side of the scoreboard.
"(Offensive coordinator Tim) Phipps said, 'Everyone is coming up to me and telling me this is a trap game, and it's making me pretty mad,'" Woodland senior Jack Pinho said. "We wanted to score a lot of points early."
The Hawks finished eight of their first nine drives with touchdowns and grew their lead by stopping the Falcons on eight of their first nine series. Woodland held UConn-bound quarterback Logan Marchi to 12-of-35 passing for 189 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the first half.
"I knew our defense was going to step up today and make plays," said Woodland quarterback Tanner Kingsley, who was sharp with 12-of-14 accuracy for 272 yards and four touchdowns. "Our defensive backs have played out of their minds the last two weeks and they stepped up today to make a few interceptions."
Zack DeBrizzi, Taylor Tucciarone and Pinho all picked off Marchi, and all three interceptions led to Woodland touchdowns.
All four of Kingsley's touchdown passes came in the first half, as the Hawks' starting offense ended its shift with a 53-8 halftime lead. He connected on a 17-yard pass to Jack Pinho on the Hawks' first drive and second-quarter hookups with Mike Kenney (26 yards) and Tucciarone (24 and 61 yards).
"He's just a confidence booster," Pinho said of Kingsley. "When you have Tanner Kingsley on your team, you already know. You don't have to explain anything."
Woodland coach Tim Shea said his senior quarterback did a good job of not making the game a head-to-head competition with Marchi, the all-time statistical passing leader in NVL history.
Woodland also scored five rushing touchdowns, including an incredible performance by sophomore Sean McAllen. On only nine carries — all in the first half — he racked up a school-record 274 yards and three touchdowns. Those scores came on runs of 61, 80 and 99 yards, the latter of which tied NVL and state records.
Coby Vaccarelli and Pat Hale also scored touchdowns for Woodland, which racked up a school-record 668 total yards — 563 of which came in the first half.
Marchi finished 20-of-44 for 272 yards and two touchdowns, both to Austin Morin. St. Paul tallied 338 yards to run the game's total to 1,006. The game's quarterbacks now have a combined 14,281 career passing yards, which is a state record between two players after one game.

Trustees of the Carmi Township Board came together for the monthly meeting Tuesday, March 12 at the Township Office on Webb Street. The board took care of all regular items on the agenda before receiving an update on the month's activities from Supervisor Jimmie Mallette.
Mallette provided numbers on the finances for the township. She also reported one request was granted during the month of February for general assistance in the amount of $225.
Fred Loyd, road commissioner, reported the rock for oil and chipping has been purchased and is ready to go. He said crews will have 10 to 11 miles worth of chip to work with during the year. He also said several loads of rock had been hauled and they had cleaned out numerous ditches in the township. He did hook up the new ditcher, which works very well, but a backhoe was used to clear most areas due to wet conditions. The crews are also cleaning gravel off the sides of the road due to snow removal. The crews will continue to work on similar projects in March and will begin putting rock around mailboxes. The crews will begin to install new road signs and posts.
Loyd also noted that since the limb work had been done around the Williams addition, there has not been one tree or limb disrupting power, which is a big plus to that area.
"Since we have done that work, it has really made a big difference," said Loyd.
Town Clerk Jack Martin read an update from the cemetery trustees, which met with their newest member, Andy Acord, during the month of February. A total of 34 burials have been reported to the state and 18 of those have been since June 2012. They also approved a tentative budget for review by the board of trustees.
Amy Short, county assessor, gave an update from her work. She is working on various properties along Commerce Street. She noted these properties are in the tiff program, so she is learning more about the program to properly assess the businesses. Short has also worked on the Aslinger business and lot on the east side of Carmi as well as the old Webb Oil Company located on Sixth Street, which was recently purchased.
The next meeting of the Carmi Township Board is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 16. The annual town meeting will be conducted first followed by the regular meeting. The meeting was pushed back one week so it did not fall on election night, which is set for Tuesday, April 9. Supervisor Mallette noted she will have a tentative budget ready for review at the April meeting.

So what's new that's coming to shirt.woot?
We've seen some significant changes at shirt.woot in the past year, and the trifecta of a price hike on the debut day, the blanks, and a run of poor QC has certainly taken its toll on the sales and the community.
In this week's shirt.woot side sale, editor @tgentry said "Be patient... hint hint.", which certainly alludes to something new coming.
While I have an idea, what are you thoughts?
15 Answers answer
After reading through it, I take it to mean they will be bringing back more shirts from the past. Which is cool enough. But are you thinking something beyond that?
I took it to mean they were eventually going to reprint that shirt that someone said was missing from today's sale.
My bet (hope) is they're finding a new supplier for shirt blanks.
Not sure, but I do recall a staffer in some thread somewhere indicating that the shirt folks were hard at work on some new thing, so couldn't be as interactive as usual (as evidenced by their chronic absence in the forums, and neglect of rejectionation duties)
My mind is fuzzy, however, so take that for what it's worth.
I am hoping the hint is not just for a re-print of that particular shirt. I am hoping for a change in blanks and more re-prints. We are approaching the 1 year mark on the blanks change and hopefully, shirt.woot only signed a one year agreement.
On a sidenote: I am enjoying the alternate offerings (long sleeve, zip-up hoodie, pullover hoodie, totes) but not those lightweight hoodies.
Wow, maybe I should have been more specific. I happened to have selected that shirt for an upcoming PLUS sale. No big reveal on this one, sorry.
@tgentry: You know...you could have just come up with something "special" to reveal. Sheesh. ;)
@tgentry: DANG! Way to get my hopes up ...
Well, I guess it'll be back to me ... ummmm ... ranting about something or other ...
@narfcake: Snap! Those kids got pwned by anvils! Brutal! I paused it to see each of their faces squish. Why do they have skulls in the center of the bows? (in their hair)
An idea batted around in the Woot Plus sale is a custom reprint, basically Woot! printing a shirt or shirts of your choosing from the history of the site for a special price ($20? $25?). Don't know if its feasible, but it would be neat.
I procrastinated and missed the deadline for the purple AA sale. I emailed woot just to check if they could add a late order for me. Of course they couldn't, but it is totally my fault so I'm not mad at anyone but myself. But the response I received was interesting:
"At this point we can't send you one. However.... something amazing is coming in the next few weeks on shirt.woot. so stay tuned. The only clue I can give you is that you'll get the chance to order them again." !
@chronosquall14: Short answer: DTG. Two off the top of my head that uses such: GoodJoe and DBH Collective.
Oh, and @firebirdude, they don't need a new supplier; they just need to go back to the old supplier.
@bsmith1: Don't worry, they're just Elmyra's. No pain was felt on their behalf.
(I do wonder if @pemberducky will cringe watching a fellow duck get repeatedly pummeled...)
@slacker44: See? See? There IS something afoot.
Tricksy @ProfHotpants sess.
@narfcake: Nice video. :) I was hoping that the announcement would include AA blanks. :(

Struggling with a simple layout
Hi everyone,
I'm evaluating GXT to see whether it'll fit our company's needs. I've created the very simple layout below, which is basically a logo area above a nav bar area. The results are basically as I expect in IE, but not in FF or Chrome. Here's the code:
Viewport view = new Viewport(); view.setScrollMode(Scroll.AUTO); LayoutContainer main = new LayoutContainer(new RowLayout(Orientation.VERTICAL)); main.add(new Label("Logo")); LayoutContainer navbarLayout = new LayoutContainer(new RowLayout(Orientation.HORIZONTAL) ); navbarLayout.add(new Button("B1")); navbarLayout.add(new Button("B2")); navbarLayout.add(new Button("B3")); navbarLayout.add(new Button("B4")); navbarLayout.add(new Button("B5")); main.add(navbarLayout, new RowData(-1, 48)); view.add(main, new MarginData(5, 0, 0, 0)); RootPanel.get().add(view);
Any ideas?
16 Feb 2009 11:13 AM #2
Any ideas here? This is just a straightforward example that I'm hoping some glaringly obvious error will jump out at someone.
16 Feb 2009 11:22 AM #3
A quick clarification: the Button classes being used are GWT buttons, not GXT buttons. If I change to use GXT buttons, the layout is much more consistent across browsers (though FF has some extra "margins" between the each button).
