Sussex man accused of filming sex act with 14-year-old girl
A 20-year-old Sussex man was accused last week of having sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl and videotaping the act.
The man was charged Thursday, May 8, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with sexual assault of a child under age 16 and possession of child pornography. He will not be identified to protect the alleged victim.
According to the criminal complaint, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department first learned about the alleged assault after the girl went missing in January.
The suspect was interviewed by an investigator as part of the search efforts. He told police in the complaint that the girl had performed oral sex on him on several occassions and in one instance he filmed the act.
Police searched the man's computer with his permission and did find the video in question, the complaint states. Police also located an image of the girl nude from the waist up on the man's computer.» Read Full Article

Two college football players killed in overnight Waukesha County crash
Two college football players were killed and one was rushed to a hospital after their vehicle hit a tree around 11:45 p.m. Saturday in the Town of Merton, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
The two men killed were Michael R. Sadler, 24, of Grand Rapids, Mich., a former punter for the Michigan State University football team; and Samuel N. Foltz, 22, of Grand Island, Neb., senior punter for the University of Nebraska football team.
Foltz and Sadler were serving as staff at the Kohl's National Invitational Scholarship Camp for high school kickers and punters at Kettle Moraine High School in the Town of Wales.
"Sam and Mike each had amazing careers as student-athletes in the Big Ten Conference, but more importantly they were tremendous men off the field," Jamie Kohl, director of the camp, said in a statement. "We are so grateful for the opportunity we have had to know these men and their families."
The statement also said: "We mourn today with the Foltz and Sadler families. We mourn today with the football programs of Nebraska and Michigan State. We mourn today with all of the people who were better men and women for knowing Sam and Mike. Our thoughts and prayers are with them."» Read Full Article

Trial date may be coming soon in Oconomowoc murder case involving husband, wife
City of Waukesha — Oconomowoc resident and accused murderer Amy Van Wagner could soon have a trial date.
Attorneys for both parties discussed preliminary plans for scheduling in the case — including possible trial dates early next year — during a brief hearing Friday, July 22 in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Circuit Judge Ralph Ramirez had previously set Friday's hearing as the deadline for filing motions in Van Wagner's case; she stands accused of first-degree intentional homicide in her husband's killing last May.
However, Van Wagner's attorney, John Schiro requested an extension of that deadline because he said he had not yet been able to sift through all the discovery materials — a routine pretrial exchange of information between both parties — sent to him by the district attorney's office.
Prosecuting attorneys Pablo Galaviz and Melissa Zilavy did not object to the extension, and Ramirez granted the request. Van Wagner's next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 24.» Read Full Article

Village of Mukwonago —John Weidl, Village Administrator and Economic Development Director for the Village of Mukwonago, has been selected by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) as the "Young Economic Development Professional of the Year" for 2016.
This national award recognizes outstanding achievements by young, emerging leaders in the economic development profession. He will be receiving the award this September at the IEDC Annual Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.
"This award demonstrates our commitment to using best practices while achieving positive, impactful results for the stakeholders in the village of Mukwonago and surrounding communities," Weidl said. "Our efforts have created an environment of entrepreneurialism, community investment and an appreciation that the village of Mukwonago is where life, leisure and business thrive."
Weidl cites the $50 million in private investment and over 150 new jobs created by Gearbox Express, Lynch Motor Vehicle Group, ProHealth Care, Kwik Trip, Aldi, and the relocations of L'Bri and GS Global resources as major accomplishments for the village.
"We successfully used Tax Increment Financing, our Business Retention/Expansion program, the Economic Development Committee and place-making efforts to cement our status as a catalyst for growth while increasing our marketability, flexibility, organizational capacity and expertise in economic development initiatives over the last three years," Weidl said.» Read Full Article
Habitat for Humanity still wants affordable housing in Hartland
Village of Hartland — Despite opposition from nearby residents, Habitat for Humanity plans to move forward with plans to build affordable housing on the east side of the village.
Two days after an emotionally charged plan commission meeting, Habitat for Humanity employees said they need to adjust their proposal in order to get approval from village officials.
"I'm working on something that's going to work for their community," said Aaron Perry, the marking and public relations director for the nonprofit. "Overall, we have to kind of see what the shake-up is, so to speak, as to how we can align everything."
Habitat for Humanity's plan to build 15 single-family homes on a 3.2 acre lot at 1270 E. Capitol Drive was met with staunch resistance from some nearby residents during the village's July 18 plan commission meeting. Residents said the high density of the project would lower property values in many area homes, many of which occupy three acres alone. Several commissioners also voiced concern about the density.
The lot's current zoning allows for up to seven houses. The plan commission and then the village board would need to vote to change the zoning to allow 15 homes.» Read Full Article

New pool, auditorium will both be part of Arrowhead referendum
A new pool is in. So is a new auditorium. And a revamped base plan to address facility and maintenance needs.
All are planned to be part of a single, $58.4 million referendum question the Arrowhead School District will put in front of voters in November.
The Arrowhead School Board didn't take official action, but at a special meeting Wednesday, July 20, members agreed the three items should be wrapped up into a single question on the November ballot. A second question would ask voters to support yearly operational costs of both a new pool and new auditorium, the combined cost of which is estimated to be $135,000 per year.
The meeting opened with public comments — lots of them. A total of 18 people addressed the board, all lobbying for either a new pool or new auditorium to be included in the referendum.
It was similar to the scene at last week's special meeting, where several members of the local swimming community made their case for a new pool.» Read Full Article
Missing Hartland teen found in Milwaukee
Village of Hartland — A Hartland teenager who went missing on Monday was found safe in Milwaukee, according to police.
Seth Rice, 16, ran away from his Hartland home on Monday and had not been in contact with his family since then, according to a news release from the Hartland Police Department issued Thursday.
A person who saw a TV report about the missing teen contacted Milwaukee police who located Rice in the city, according to Hartland Police Chief Robert Rosch. The teen was taken to Hartland Thursday night and released to his parents. He was uninjured, and no charges were filed.
Rosch said Rice has made friends in the city and had been living with them.
The news release said Rice had last been seen wearing a light-colored T-shirt and tan shorts. He may also have had a backpack with him.» Read Full Article
Supreme Court ruling impacts Sussex, Butler signage
Village of Butler —The Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional for local governments to regulate signs based on their content. The Villages of Butler and Sussex have revised their signage to fall into line with the recent ruling.
Sussex and Butler are two of 30 municipal clients of Eric Lawson's law firm. The villages received a memo from the firm stating the Supreme Court, "rendered unconstitutional parts of almost all sign codes in the state of Wisconsin and possibly the entire country."
Village of Sussex administrator, Jeremy Smith said the village has completely redone the sign code, and it will go through the village board for approval at the end of this month.
Smith said the ruling came to no surprise, but it presents a conflict in the law.
"The supreme court clarified what was often understood to be the rule anyway," Smith said. "Many communities understood that the first amendment applied to signage, but there is a conflict in the law. We have state laws with respect to election signage. So there's a conflict between state law and election signage regulation, and now the federal law about how those are regulated. That's something the state is going to have to work out."» Read Full Article

Sussex Fire Department not to consolidate, seeks to hire full-time chief
The Board of Fire Commissioners announced they would be hiring a full-time fire chief, and would not be consolidating with other departments at this time. In prior meetings, the Board had considered hiring a part-time, or paid on-call chief, and also had contemplated consolidating with another fire department, such as Lisbon or Menomonee Falls.
The decision on seeking a full-time chief was partially based on the list of duties former Fire Chief Colin 'Corky' Curtis provided to the Board. The list went on for two pages, and detailed every organization, meeting and training that was required in the fire chief position.
"I'm glad you took the vote on full-time chief," said Village Board president Greg Goetz. "I'm fully aware of a lot of things Corky did in this department. I think we would really be selling Sussex short by going with a part-time chief."
While consolidation is off the table for Sussex now, assistant village administrator Melissa Weiss said Waukesha County's Fire/EMS Consolidation Study is still underway, of which the Village of Sussex has agreed to participate.
The Board of Fire Commissioners will meet again to finalize the fire chief job description on Aug. 2 at 5 p.m. at the Sussex Public Safety Building. The final recommendation will be presented to the Village for approval on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m.

WHEELING - The deadline to sign up for health care coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace passed at the start of April, with some local residents finding the plans too expensive and opting instead to pay penalties for not having health insurance, according to Wheeling Health Right Executive Director Kathie Brown.
Coverage under the Affordable Care Act has been beneficial for those with incomes under 138 percent of the federal income levels, but can be costly for those earning more who then seek insurance in the Health Insurance Marketplace, Brown said.
"For those people who qualify for tax credits, it's awesome," she said. "Now when they need surgery (or other medical care) they can get it. There is not as much reimbursement as there is for regular insurance, but there is payment. Those over 138 percent, though, who don't qualify for tax credits are finding high deductibles and high co-pays. ... They couldn't make the decision to choose coverage through the Marketplace. They didn't think they could afford it because they have no tax credits, and some deductibles are as much as $6,500. Some made the decision to take the penalty, and wait until next year to see if plans are cheaper."
According to information at the HealthCare.gov website, fines for those who fail to obtain health insurance will be calculated in one of two ways: The fine will be equal either to 1 percent of the uninsured family's yearly household income, or $95 per person in the household up to a maximum of $285.
The uninsured person will be asked to pay this fine on their 2014 tax return filed in 2015.
Brown said while Wheeling Health Right assisted many patients in navigating the Healthcare.gov website, the agency signed up no one for coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace or took their first month's payment on-site. She suspects many went on to complete the process at home, or signed up through other providers.
Wheeling Health Right, though, did sign up many of its clients for expanded Medicaid coverage, she said. The agency has about 20,000 patients, and about 45 percent qualified for coverage under Medicaid.
"Some people qualified for original Medicaid who should already have had it, but didn't," Brown said. "We are seeing a lot of new people. They came in to see what they could get, and couldn't get."
There wasn't much of a rush locally from those needing to acquire coverage by the April 1 deadline, according to Brown.
"We had five people call on Friday who wanted to get into the system so they could get an extension," she said. "But none of them ended up coming in."

The Ray Charles is an action that occurs when someone gets so high that all they can do is grab their arms and tilt their head back and sit there for an hour... Resulting in someone who looks just like the famous photo of Ray Charles at the Apollo theater in 1990.

At the moment I have some modified and some of my own packages placed in the same folder as my tex file. I would like to move all of them in a subfolder called packages so that I have a better overview over my files. Is there any way to achieve this?
For all my larger LaTeX projects, I maintain a project-local
(Note: The double slash
One often hears that additional/own packages or updates to existing packages better go into the machine-wide or user-wide
By maintaining all "non-standard" packages in a project-related

For MikTeX-Portable there doesn't exist such a simple solution as described by Daniel and Herbert, but adding the packages' path via MikTEX->Options->Add Root seems okay. One just has to take care to remove the additional path before compiling other projects that don't use the the modified but the original packages.

Let's say I made my private key using Enigmail. Then I imported it into a Windows program called GPG4USB. When I want to decrypt a message it asks for my encryption password but it doesn't accept the password I provided with Enigmail originally. Both software are derivatives of GnuPG. Am I understanding it correctly that different implementations are not compatible with each other or am I doing something wrong?

Someone is doing something wrong, but not necessarily you. GnuPG follows the OpenPGP format, which is a standard.
The format includes provisions for using several cryptographic algorithms; not all implementations support all of them. However, GnuPG tends to implement the same algorithms as... itself.
The usual suspect for password interoperability issues is encoding: passwords are characters but must be converted to bytes in order to do cryptography with them. If you have a non-ASCII character in your password, it is possible that one front-end used latin-1 (or a superset such as Windows-1252) while the other preferred UTF-8, resulting in a distinct sequence of bytes for the same password. Even with ASCII, you can get issues with UTF-16, which is not ASCII-compatible.

Scouts may be thrifty, but some leaders are well paid
Many professional Scouters earn 6-figure salaries across the U.S.
Lawrence Jackson, Associated Press
A Scout is thrifty, the Boy Scout Law teaches. Many adult leaders put that into practice by volunteering without pay and sacrificing precious time and vacation weeks for camps.
But guess how much the Great Salt Lake Council pays its full-time, professional Scout executive, Paul Moore.
It is $214,000 a year (including a salary of $194,458 and benefits of $19,544). In comparison, the salary of Vice President Dick Cheney is $215,700 a year, and the salaries of Chief Justice John Roberts and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are both $212,100.
"I know people may drop their toast in their cereal when they read that," Moore said.
"But I'm not embarrassed by my compensation. I've worked very hard and been very successful in this business," he said. "This is a life's work for me that has purchased 60 to 80 hours (a week) of my time for all of my working life. ... If I were not making that salary here, I would probably be making a larger salary in the BSA somewhere else."
He's right. Other similar Scout leaders nationally often make much more. At the top of that in 2005, the last year for which public data are readily available, was then-national Scout executive Roy Williams.
His compensation was nearly $1 million (including a salary of $552,379 and benefits of $436,040). President Bush was paid $400,000 that year.
Such information of special interest in Utah, home of the nation's largest Scout councils as measured by membership in traditional troops and packs is found in the Forms 990 that tax-exempt organizations must file with the Internal Revenue Service. An analysis of such forms for nearly 300 Boy Scout councils nationwide by the Deseret Morning News reveals:
• Boy Scouts both in Utah and nationally tend to pay their top executives significantly more than do other large, nonprofit groups that serve youths. Boy Scouts say their organization requires more skills and longer hours than the other groups.
• The three Scout councils in Utah tend to have many more executives than average with salaries above $50,000 a year. Officials here say that is because many have long tenure and are responsible for training many times more volunteers than average because of the high number of Scouts here (where the LDS Church makes Scouting a formal part of its youth program).
• While pay for top Scout executives in Utah is high compared to salaries for such professions here as doctors and lawyers, those executives still generally receive less than fellow Scout executives elsewhere in similarly sized councils.
• Such salaries come while Friends of Scouting fund-raising drives here are different than anywhere else. In Utah, LDS Church congregations are assigned to visit all homes in their boundaries to solicit funds. Quotas are often set. If congregations fail to meet them, they may not receive discounts for camps and supplies that others enjoy. Elsewhere nationally, Scout leaders merely tend to explain needs to parents and seek funds without quotas.• Councils in Utah tend to spend a higher percentage of their money on fund raising than average while they spend a comparatively lower percentage on services. Officials say that is due, in part, to a need to raise money to buy or develop new camps. Current camps can handle only a quarter to half of the units in councils here.
Other youth groups
Compared to other large youth groups, Boy Scout executives both in Utah and nationally are paid more, according to 2005 compensation figures.
Utah has three Scout councils. Moore's 2005 compensation was $201,600 (since raised to $214,000) to lead the Great Salt Lake Council based in Salt Lake City. Thomas Powell (recently retired) was paid $161,413 to lead the Utah National Parks Council based in Orem. Rick Barnes was paid $122,153 to lead the Trapper Trails Council based in Ogden.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- Kansas State University is recognizing 150 years of history with its sesquicentennial celebration. It is the nation's first operational land-grant institution and Kansas' first public university.
A kickoff event was held at Ahearn Field House from 1 to 7 p.m. Thursday, February 14th.
The event included music from university groups and displays about the university's history.
Visitors, including alumni from around the country, perused displays documenting colleges, departments and other university units -- from past to present.
The kickoff was shown live at 4 p.m. online at http://www.k-state.edu/150/ and on K-StateHD.TV at http://www.k-state.edu/tv/.
A official program Thursday afternoon included remarks from Kansas State University President Kirk Schulz, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Kansas Board of Regents President and CEO Andy Tompkins, and past student body presidents. Performances included the university's orchestra, marching band and a cappella group In-A-Chord.
From 5 to 7 p.m. the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art had an opening reception for the "Museum of Wonder," an exhibition running until Oct. 13 featuring a conglomeration of university artifacts from geology, aviation, physics, agriculture and more, as well as several ethnographic objects that have never been displayed before.
The kickoff weekend continues at the men's basketball game Saturday, Feb. 16, with recognition of Founders Day. The weekend wraps up at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, in McCain Auditorium with an audience-interactive program, "Laughter and Reflection with Carol Burnett: A Conversation with Carol Where the Audience Asks the Questions." Tickets for the show are available online at http://www.k-state.edu/mccain or by calling 785-532-6428.
Many other sesquicentennial projects will take place throughout the year, including a 150th Brown Bag Lecture Series, commissioned pieces of music and art, campus landscaping and community signage, and the Wildcat March Exhibition, which will take place from Feb. 14 through fall 2013.
For the Wildcat March, Kansas artists, architects, photographers and designers will paint, decorate and/or adorn 30 fiberglass Wildcat statues. These Wildcats then will be exhibited around Manhattan during the sesquicentennial celebration, similar to the 2001 Kansas City CowParade with painted cow statues
The statues are 36 inches high, 40 inches in length -- from paw to tail -- and weigh around 50 pounds.
Five of the statues will be on display at the sesquicentennial kickoff event Feb. 14, at the gala on Feb. 15 and at the men's basketball game Feb. 16. The rest of the statues will be on display at the K-State Alumni Center.
After Feb. 20, all statues will be at their sponsor home on campus and around Manhattan. Visit http://www.k-state.edu/150 for details on final locations during the celebration.
The Wildcat statues will be auctioned Sept. 13 at the Alumni Center. All the proceeds will go toward the 150th Student Scholarship Fund.
The public will be able to vote for the five best decorated Wildcat statues, and mini-replicas of these statues will be produced for purchase. All completed statutes will be featured in a commemorative Wildcat March Exhibition book, which will be available shortly after the celebration concludes.
Kansas State University became the nation's first operational land-grant institution and Kansas' first public university after its founding Feb. 16, 1863. The institution has operated under the names Kansas State Agricultural College, Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and Kansas State University of Agriculture and Applied Science.
Known as Kansas State University today, it encompasses three campuses -- in Manhattan, Olathe and Salina -- and recruiting offices and partnerships around the world, from Vietnam to Australia.

I am specially interested in statements which apply to the case of non-reduced $B$. Here by $\omega_{X/B}$ I mean $h^{-n}(f^! \mathcal{O}_B)$ where $n$ is the relative dimension of $f$ and $h^{-n}$ means the cohomology of the complex at the $-n$-th position.
A sufficient condition is that $f:X \rightarrow B$ is flat and locally finite type map between locally noetherian schemes such that its fibers are local complete intersection morphism (see EGA IV$\_4$, 19.2 for relative lci maps), in which case $\omega_{X/B}$ is even a line bundle on $X$ whose formation commutes with any base change on $B$. This covers the case of flat families of semistable curves, for example, and this lci condition on fibers is open on the base.
It sounds like you may want Exercise 9.7 in Hartshorne's "Residues and Duality". I paraphrase the statement:
Exercise 9.7 (RD): Let $f: X \to B$ be a flat morphism of finite type of locally Noetherian preschemes. Then, $f^!(\mathcal{O}_B)$ has a unique non-zero cohomology sheaf, which is flat over $B$, iff all the fibers of $f$ are Cohen-Macaulay schemes of the right dimension. Moreover $f^!(\mathcal{O}_B)$ is isomorphic to (a shift of) an invertible sheaf (on $X$) iff all the fibers of $f$ are Gorenstein schemes of the right dimension.
In particular, this addresses the case you mention in your comment ($f$ Gorenstein), since then $f^!(\mathcal{O}_Y)$ is locally free on $X$ and, since $f$ is flat, certainly flat over $B$.
[Aside: I believe I learned this reference from Brian's book "Grothendieck Duality and Base Change", which I think also contains a proof of this.]

4.x project: missing "tpl" property for ComboBox
Designer version tested:
Designer 1.2.2 rev 48
Operating System:
- WinXP Pro
- Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
Ext JS 4.x
I'm migrating my app from EXTjs3 to EXTjs4 by rebuilding the entire app in Designer.
I use a lot of comboboxes with Xtemplates. However, the "tpl" property is not available for a combobox!
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- create new 4.x project
- create a simple ArrayStore
- add 1 integer field with the name "cnt"
- set the data = "[{"cnt":1},{"cnt":2},{"cnt":3},{"cnt":4},{"cnt":5},{"cnt":6},{"cnt":7},{"cnt":8},{"cnt":9},{"cnt":10}]"
- Create a window with a basic container
- add a form panel
- add a combobox
- In the component config panel: filter for "tpl"
The result that was expected:
should be able to config the "tpl" property.
The result that occurs instead:
"tpl" property is NOT available
Screenshot(s) or Video:
XDS 1.2.2-27 BUG - no tpl on ComboBox2.jpg
Debugging already done:
Possible fix:

School is just around the corner. It's time, once again, for our children to get back into the classroom and to meet up with their peers. This means more social opportunities for our children, which can lead to many happy times for them. However, friendships can also cause stress and anxiety. Sometimes our children just don't know how to navigate healthy versus unhealthy friendships. Our children may not understand that even the healthy friendships take work to make them successful.
One activity that I like to use in my Kid's Group is a lesson in which I give all the kids a small plant. I write the word "Friendship" on our chalk board and ask them why they think they've been given a plant. Usually there is one person in the group that gets the connection. Friendships are like plants. We need to nurture them, take care of them, or they may just fade away.
Like their plant, friendships take time to blossom. Friendships are based on trust, kindness, cooperation, and compromise. It is important to teach our children that we need to give and take in our friendships. Compromise is very difficult, but children learn so much when they are able to work together to make a decision.
It is also important to teach our children to navigate between healthy and unhealthy friendships. Every friendship has its ups and downs, however some friendships are toxic and will lead to sadness, anger, and even peer pressure. If your child is experiencing more hardships than good times with a friend, it's time to take a step back and together, examine that relationship. Be involved and watch your child while they are with their friends. Do you see your child acting uncomfortable at times? Do you notice that your child isn't able to make their own decisions while they are with particular friends? If so, talk to them about this. Help them to see that this is unhealthy. Encourage and assist them to seek out other friends by exposing them to other outlets, such as school clubs or athletics. Always get to know your child's friends. When they are with your child, initiate conversation and ask them about their lives. And, of course, communication! Continually ask direct questions about your child's friendships.
Almost every week during the school year, a child comes to one of our support groups and shares a story about a hardship with a friend that they experienced that week at school. Friendships can be hard and definitely toxic at times. However, healthy friendships are incredibly rewarding. A supportive, fun-loving friendship can blossom and create memories that last a lifetime.

META lab coats are known for their impeccable construction and functionality. This men's lab coat features a pleated back with sewn-down back belt. Two patch pockets, one chest pocket with pen slot, one inside pocket. Made of soil-release cotton/polyester performance poplin.
Good buy at a good value.
Nice lab coat but till the shipping was added it was not such a good price. $42.95 with shipping
I have ordered many white coats and many of them are very hot and heavy. This coat is light and breezy and still looks very professional.
It is not good for a clinical physician coat because it does not have the sleeve to easily access the trouse pockets... How can one have a physician lab coat without those necessary access for the pockets. Was simply disappointed to not have it. Also the coat was small than expected. The material from web site appeared to be richer quality but found to be OK.
This was just what was described on line. Pleased with the product.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis Affect Birth Rates
Feb. 16, 2012 -- More than half of women diagnosed with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis prior to completing their families end up having fewer children than they had planned for, new research suggests.
The study is among the first to examine infertility, pregnancy loss, and family planning choices in women with the autoimmune diseases.
Lupus, RA, and Childbirth
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and lupus are often diagnosed in younger women, yet their impact on childbearing is not well understood.
It is clear from earlier research that women with rheumatoid arthritis tend to have fewer children than healthy women and that women with lupus have more miscarriages.
But the reasons for this are not so clear, and prior studies have not examined how living with a chronic autoimmune disease impacts family size and family planning decisions, says Duke University Medical Center investigator Megan Clowse, MD, who runs the center's autoimmune disease pregnancy registry.
"We wanted to learn more about how having lupus or rheumatoid arthritis influenced these decisions," she says.
Clowse and colleagues surveyed 578 women with rheumatoid arthritis and 114 with lupus enrolled in a national autoimmune disease registry.
Among their findings:
- 55% of the women with rheumatoid arthritis and 64% of those with lupus who were interested in having children reported having fewer children than they had hoped to have.
- Rheumatoid arthritis patients who had fewer children than planned were one-and-a-half times more likely to report problems with infertility than patients who had as many children as they had hoped for.
- Lupus patients who had fewer children than they had planned to have had a three-fold higher miscarriage rate than lupus patients who had the number they had planned for. There was no significant difference in infertility rates.
RA Patients Had More Infertility
Overall, 42% of the rheumatoid arthritis patients who had fewer children than desired reported having problems conceiving.
The finding came as a surprise to the investigators.
"This study highlights the need to understand why women with rheumatoid arthritis appear to have more problems with infertility," Clowse says. "This has not been studied at all."

I'm working in several CMYK .PSD documents. Whenever I save them as .PDF, the first PDF generated always appears as a more rich RGB-looking black (on-screen at least). Changing maybe a few non-color-space/mode items and re-saving always results in a PDF with lighter looking blacks on screen. Why is this? It's driving me mad!
Photoshop won't change settings invisibly unless something is corrupted, so first make very sure that you are looking at these PDFs in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, not some other viewer.
Be sure you are not changing any settings in the PDF export dialog, nor any color settings in the Photoshop document when you open it. All your settings should be "Preserve Embedded Profile" for safety.
If all those points are okay, and you still see different blacks on consecutive saves, Photoshop may have a corrupted preferences file. Reset the preferences (hold down Ctl-Alt-Shift or Cmd--Option-Shift while the program is starting, and answer yes when it asks if you want to erase your settings).
It may just be (and this is what I think is happening) that you are running into a problem of CMYK colors in the PDF not being correctly displayed. The good news is that's not a problem with Photoshop, but with whatever you are using to view the PDF. One of the two common error situations where black "looks gray" is when CMYK values are being incorrectly translated to RGB for viewing on a monitor -- which I think may be happening in your situation.
Here's how to check:
There is quite a lot to know about saving Photoshop files (or any files) to the PDF format. In the professional world of print production, it becomes very important to know what you're doing.
[Side Note: A "Photoshop PDF" is just a PDF with a Photoshop file hidden inside. A PDF viewer or other PDF-aware program "sees" only the PDF information, but Photoshop recognizes the embedded Photoshop document and opens that part for editing. An "Illustrator PDF" works the same way. Inside the PDF is a complete native Illustrator document, hidden from view until you open the file in Illustrator.]
Photoshop PDF documents store two copies of the image they contain. The first copy is stored according to the PDF standard and uses the compression filter specified during saving, and this compression filter may be lossy such as JPEG. The second copy is stored in the additional private Photoshop data and is compressed with the lossless ZIP compression.....
as much as you'll resave the document it will reduce in color quality

Color LaserJet CP2025
I have an HP Color LaserJet CP2025 printer. The Status of the printer is "No Toner/Ink". However, I have replaced low ink toner. I still continue to receive this message. Unfortunately, I'm not able to print either. I'm guessing because of the Status message.
Furthermore, I printed a Supplies Status Page. Each catridge is at 50% or higher.
Any suggestions?
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025
I am having a hard time understanding your problem statement. The fact that you use toner and ink leads me to believe that you are not looking at this carefully enough.
Laser printer have no ink, and there are no messages that reference ink.
If you have replaced cartridges recently, one think to check is that you have the correct color cartridge in each position.
Also, if you are using remanufactured cartridges, sometimes the chips they use do not work correctly. Return them if this is the case.
Also make sure that you removed the toner dams per the instructions in each cartridge.
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025
same problem using the cp2025 installed on a Windows 7 computer. printer runs out of toner, Windows 7 gets that message, toner is replaced, printer works fine for other users - other Windows versions. on the Windows 7 computer, the printer status page - that shows documents waiting to be printed - in the title bar - shows NP18D7988 (HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn) - No Toner/Ink. Only way I have found to get rid of that message is to uninstall and reinstall the printer.
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025
I too am having the exact same symptoms. I replaced the black toner cartridge in my CP2025, and my Windows 7 computer is reporting the status as "Printer: No toner/ink" Oddly enough, only the Windows 7 machine see that as the status. The Windows Vista machine can still print fine, as can the Windows XP machine. I would imagine that it has something to do with using a Universal Print driver in Windows 7. HP, please advise!
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025 - Windows 7 - Does not recover when toner cartridge is replaced.
We are having the same problem here with Windows 7. This machine printed a document, the toner was low. We replaced the toner.
Now we cannot use the printer it is always in a "Printer: No toner/ink" state when in fact there is toner. Other machines on the network can print just fine. Status on the printer is also showing no problems.
A reboot of the machine does not clear this up.
What is going on? How can we clear this without deleting the printer?
Is there an updated driver?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025 - Windows 7 - Does not recover when toner cartridge is replaced.
The driver is useless on Windows 7. HP has failed with this one. That aside, I found in my case I could go into the printer's properties and create a new port. I'm using my HP2025 over the network so I created a new standard TCP/IP port with the printer's IP address. As soon as I hit apply it started printing. This redirects the printer from the flawed UPD port to a real IP "port"
HP really should put more effort into their UPD design on Windows 7. I can't say enough about how horrible it is.
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025 - Windows 7 - Does not recover when toner cartridge is replaced.
Only solution I've found is go to Devices and Printers, delete the printer and reinstall it. Only takes a couple of minutes. There may be other settings in the Networking options on the printer that would solve the issue once and for all, but I don't want to experiment and risk losing connectivity altogether.
Re: Color LaserJet CP2025 - Windows 7 - Does not recover when toner cartridge is replaced.
I have deletdd and reinstalled it works for a day then comes back. Other pc's print fine, did a supply print sheet on printer got 99% black, 32% on each color.

While the OP could have been a bit more clear on the origin of the error message, the first reply might as well not have been posted.
There is a reference to "No Toner/Ink" which comes from Windows itself (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 to name two) and the is due to the virtual port created by the UPD installer. I had this issue with only some of the HP LaserJets in my deployment as these were the first printers of each model set up using the UPD wizard and the additional printers were set up manually in which case I manually created the TCP/IP port.
Creating a new TCP/IP port for the printers that had this error message resolved the issue and all printers are now working well.

Looks like this firmware update solved it in my case!

Sometimes you just need to reboot or shut down right away-and we mean right away, with no waiting. Thankfully, whether your Mac is frozen and non-responsive or you just want to shut down and go home right now, there's a keyboard shortcut that gets the job done.
If you need to reboot and you don't feel like shutting down your apps one by one or waiting for Mac OS to walk you through them, press Ctrl+Cmd+Eject to reboot your Mac immediately, with no alerts or warning dialogs. If you need to shut down and run out the door, press Ctrl+Opt+Cmd+Eject to shut down immediately, also without alerts or warning dialogs. Be careful using these commands though: you won't be prompted to save your work or review your open apps first.
You can also press Ctrl+Eject (or press the power button) to bring up the power management menu and select whether you want to reboot, shut down, sleep, or do nothing. Before you use any of these commands though, remember you can always press Cmd+Opt+Shift+Esc to force-quit the front-most application if that's what's making you want to reboot.

We all know that aeration is necessary for yeast growth. Does it facilitate more than that? If you massively overpitch, on a previous yeast-cake for example, do you need the same amount of dissolved O2 as a "normal" pitch? Many pro brewers rack a new batch onto the previous batch's yeast cake. Are they on to something?
My simple perspective on this one is that the oxygenation of the wort provides a catalyst for aerobic respiration stage in the yeast during which they strengthen the cell wall and generally make them healthy, happy and reproductive. Clearly if you are over-pitched, you are less concerned about the reproductive characteristic but you still want the happy and healthy part before they switch into anaerobic mode for alcohol and CO2 production as a survival instinct. i.e. I would think that the yeast cake contains mostly exhausted dormant yeast cells that need to rejuventate before they are thrown back into anaerobic survival mode. Therefore, oxygenation would be just as critical to a fully attenuated fermentation as with a fresh starter.
I've been wondering about this too. I'm planning on pitching an Imperial Stout batch onto a yeast cake from a pale ale that I brewed a couple weeks ago.
From my understanding of the subject I would agree with Jim Denmark that aeration/oxygenation is still important to help build up the yeast cell walls. And Brad's experimental study link is a good one to check out for some thoughts on ester production. High levels of oxygen in the wort and overpitching can both lead to decreased ester production--which would help the flavor in many cases but detract from it in others in which a high level of esters is desirable (such as wheat beers and many Belgian styles).
At any rate, not too long ago I chatted with a few people who frequently pitch onto yeast cakes, and they weren't at all concerned about aeration beyond that which occurs when you pour the wort in. Personally though, I'm going to oxygenate the wort in the kettle before I pitch onto the yeast cake just to be safe--I'm more concerned about having healthy yeast that can survive in higher alcohol levels than I am about ester production for this style.
At any rate, I'd like to hear more about what others have to say on this since I'm going to be using this technique next week.
Here is an experiment that aimed to determine the influence of pitching rate and oxygenation on ester production using a Weissbier yeast. The results were deemed "inconclusive."

This is the way I fix my U1 universal camera plate to the camera body:
I tested several bodies and I found out the will fit the best way. Once the screw is inserted into the tripod mount of the camera body a little bit, move the plate forward to the lens direction, screw will stop the plate, then fix it.
I know Nick is designing new special camera plates, but till then we can compare settings using the plate in this position.

Do Cell Phones Cause Brain Cancer?
Please use for reference only.
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 27, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Do cell phones cause brain cancer?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink editorial assistant, responds:
Dear D:
Thank you for your interest and question.
Concern over the safety of radiofrequency (RF) energy from cellular telephones and transmitting facilities for cellular systems has grown alongside the potential increase in public RF exposure resulting from the proliferation of wireless communication systems. RF communication bands, which include AM/FM radio, very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) television, cellular telephones, pagers, two-way radios, radar, and satellite communications, make up part of the nonionizing portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Analog cellular telephones operate in the rage of 800-960 MHz, and new digital personal communication devices operate in the rage of 1600-2000 MHz. The thermal effects of high exposures to RF electric and magnetic fields are the basis for existing safety and health exposure guidelines. The current scientific consensus is that there is insufficient evidence from animal and epidemiologic research to demonstrate adverse human health effects (Environ Health Perspect 1999 Feb;107 Suppl 1:155-68; Radiation Research 1999 May;151(5):513-31). Nevertheless, it is prudent to avoid unnecessary and prolonged exposures. One way of doing this is by using devices that allow the cell phone antenna to remain at an extended distance from the body. It should be emphasized that radiation induced malignancies take years to occur. The wide use of cellular phones remains relatively short and longer follow up is needed to make any definitive conclusions.

5 Advanced Technologies Still Catching Up to Invertebrates
There's a scientific field called biomimetics that is all about studying nature and stealing its technology. That makes sense -- if you want to build a flying machine, you start by looking at birds. But the more we study, the more we find that biomimetics isn't just about building a more fishlike boat. Even the smallest, slimiest creatures employ tech that will some day revolutionize everything from solar panels to TV screens.

#5. The Bombardier Beetle's Fuel-Injection System Beats Any Car's
The bombardier beetle is one badass motherfucker. If you mess with one of these beetles, you can expect to get sprayed with a 212-degree blast of burning, noxious chemicals from a turret on the end of its abdomen. It's like a little chemical warfare tank that will go off with just the slightest bit of provocation.
Via Apologeticspress.org
"Oh, shit. Honey, I swear this never happens."
If you think it's amazing that a lowly bug evolved to do that, it's even more remarkable when you consider the complexity of the mechanism that makes it happen. Inside, it has two different chemicals and a mixing chamber. The chemicals react and get so hot that pressure builds in the chamber, which is then released through the openings on the beetle's abdomen. It can squirt the burning jet up to 20 centimeters.
Via Gotweird.com
"Shit! Did I get it in your hair? I promise I wasn't trying to do that."
Lots of animals squirt poison. The bombardier beetle, however, shoots quick-fire pulses like a machine gun -- one that can fire up to 500 times a second. For the sake of context, a top-of-the-line minigun on its fastest setting will fire about 100 times a second. The beetle is able to do all of this thanks to a remarkable system of internal valves that are way more efficient than what us humans have been able to build.
How We Can Steal It:
Keep in mind, all sorts of technology requires the misting and mixing of chemicals -- everything from car fuel-injection systems to the nebulizers that asthma sufferers use. Come up with a better misting system and you can change the world.
That's why researchers took the bombardier beetle's design and used it as the model for uMist. It's here that we should point out that, in order to mimic what the beetle is born with, it takes a machine that freaking looks like this:
As you can see, mimicking the beetle's tech isn't easy. But it'll be worth it -- the beetle design allows us to control the temperature, velocity and size of the droplets being sprayed, which means the potential applications are nearly endless. We're talking about better fuel efficiency and lower emissions in vehicles and a new type of gas-turbine aircraft engine that can reignite in mid-flight if it loses power. Oh, and get this: the technology could even create needle-free injections, or as all the Trekkies out there would call them, hyposprays.
That's right. The bombardier beetle doesn't just hold the key to advanced aeronautic systems; it could also give us Star Trek medical technology.

#4. The Sea Mouse's Fur Is Made of Super-Efficient Fiber-Optic Cables
The sea mouse's scientific name is Aphrodita aculeata, after the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Not because it's a lovable creature, but because if you look at it from the underside it supposedly looks like a vagina.

The scientist that named this animal has obviously NEVER seen an actual vagina.
No, we don't know why they call it a mouse when it's clearly a worm. That's not important. What is important is that the sides of the sea mouse are covered in thin hairs, called setae, that will glow red, blue or green depending on how the light hits them.
Via BBC News
That's cool and all, but it's not until you get them under a microscope that you realize what a mind-blowing job evolution does of beating even our most state-of-the-art technology.
How We Can Steal It:
You probably know that the fastest communication cables are the fiber-optic lines that zip light along a series of thin, perfectly clear glass hairs. The tech took 170 years to perfect, and manufacturing fiber-optic cables is so complicated it would take the rest of this article to explain it.
Via Wikipedia
Well, yeah, of course we make it like that.
But the little clear hairs that grow on the back of that tiny sea worm thing? They're much, much more efficient than the cables we're using. All fiber-optic cables (and in fact, all cables of any kind) lose some of their signal over a distance. Fiber optics work by controlling the reflection of the light so that it bounces perfectly along the length of the cable, but the world is an imperfect place, and no medium we've come up with doesn't lose at least a little bit of the light over distances. No surface is perfectly reflective, after all.
But the sea mouse comes pretty freaking close. Its survival depends on its ability to light up its coat -- that's how it wards off predators. And its coat won't light up without exterior light hitting it. And it lives thousands of feet under the surface of the ocean, where virtually no light can reach. Therefore, millions of years of not wanting to die has allowed it to evolve spines that are nearly 100 percent efficient in their ability to reflect light.
Via Phys.ntnu.no
Scientists are examining the mouse, not just so that we can steal the design of its super-efficient photonic fur, but so we can learn to actually "grow" the stuff the same way the mouse does. We're not sure why they can't just shave a bunch of the mice and glue the hairs together end to end, but they probably know what they're doing.
#3. The Blue Morpho Butterfly Does Color Better Than Your LED TV
When you hear the word "butterfly," most of you probably think of words like "graceful," "beautiful" or, if you're a fan of chaos theory, "hurricane." But if you happen to work for Qualcomm, then you're probably thinking about energy-efficient display screens right now.
Via Wikipedia
"Turn it to the right and see if it gets the Bears game."
The first thing you notice about the Blue Morpho is that it seems to have given itself the gaudy iridescent paint job of a customized Honda Civic.
How it achieves that color is kind of amazing. Normally, color works like this: The surface of whatever you're looking at reflects light of a certain color and absorbs all of the other colors. For instance, plants are green because the pigment absorbs all of the colors of the spectrum except green. Green is reflected back, so the plant looks green to you.
The butterfly, however, achieves its holy-shit-what-is-going-on-am-I-on-LSD-question-mark iridescent color because its wings are covered in layers of semireflective scales. Their "color" is determined by the wavelengths of light interfering with each other. So, the brilliant blue is actually every color in the spectrum being reflected in a particular way so that blue is amplified. The result is a blue that makes all of the other blues you've seen in your life look like bullshit.
Via Wikipedia
Of course, you're seeing this on a monitor, so there's that catch-22.
How We Can Steal It:
Qualcomm studied the butterflies and came up with the mirasol display for televisions, which are so energy efficient that you can't help but suspect witchcraft. They mimic the butterfly with two reflective layers with a very small space in between. The top layer reflects some light and lets the rest through to be reflected by the bottom layer. Adjust the distance between layers by microscopic amounts and you can produce mind-blowing colors using just the ambient light in the room.
Obviously, since they don't have to produce their own light, the displays are massively more efficient than the screen you're looking at now (in fact, if the image on the screen is static, almost zero energy is used). And, by the way, it gives you a much more vivid image to boot.

Road Making or Highway Improvement Works (Third Party Works)
Costs to be paid by the works promoter
The total amount to be paid by the works promoter in accordance with the third party highway works agreement (e.g. Section 38 or Section 278 Agreement) will be reviewed and refined during the drafting of the agreement and preparation of the detailed design.
The legal agreement will state which fees and charges are due at the time of signing the Agreement. Normally fees are payable on completion of the agreement document or at a stage before adoption of the works, NOT upon adoption.
A breakdown of typical costs payable to the Council is as follows:
Design Check / Administration Fee (minimum charge may be applicable) – to cover our internal costs of checking the detailed design and associated documents, such as schedule of works and any orders, and administering the implementation of the third party highway works agreement. This will be according to the published schedule based on a percentage of the estimated works cost. A typical works cost for Section 38 agreement is calculated by the Council project officer based the length of the adoptable highway. The works cost for Section 278 agreements is the full cost of the highway construction/alterations including structures, accommodation works, landscaping, drainage works, any alterations to plant required by statutory undertakers, alteration to traffic signing, street lighting, provision of traffic signals (if applicable), any temporary works, remedial/strengthening works to the existing highway.
Legal costs – for preparing and sealing the legal agreement plus disbursements (money we pay behalf of the works promoter).
Costs of any agreements with other local authorities - under Section 8 (Highways Act 1980) or the Highways Agency (s4 or s6, Highways Act 1980).
Costs of securing any Traffic Regulation Orders - or other orders or notices required by legislation which may include advertising and hearing costs.
Site inspection costs (minimum charge may be applicable) – to cover our costs of inspecting the works including any remedials.
Stage 3 Road Safety Audit – to cover the costs of undertaking the Stage 3 audit once construction is complete and prior to use. For larger or multi-stage works, a number of separate interim Stage 3 RSAs may be undertaken.
Stage 4 Road Safety Audits (RSA), s278 works – to cover the costs of undertaking the Stage 4a RSA which is an accident review following opening to traffic undertaken at 12 months.
Commuted Sums – The estimated cost of maintaining and renewing the additional asset created through the scheme for a period of 30 years. New additions to our highway infrastructure need to be adequately resourced in terms of their future maintenance. For some time we have normally required commuted sums to cover maintenance of such items as unusual street furniture and landscaping (including trees) where they are to be adopted as part of a publicly maintained highway. The basis of calculating these sums may require periodic review.
Other typical costs to be incurred by the works promoter beyond the initial construction works cost include:
Road safety audit remedial works – to cover the cost of taking action to address issues raised in road safety audits.
Remedial works identified - following routine or snagging inspections prior the works becoming maintainable at the public expense.
Contractual Claims – the works promoter may need pay for valid contractual claims arising from the implementation of the works.
Contract Specific Items – these may be identified and / or confirmed during the detailed design, such as statutory undertaker's works costs.
Claims – to cover the settlement of legitimate liability claims arising from the works.

Called to duty at last, Lieutenant John Nevis faces his assignment with trepidation. Boarding the USS Nicodemus—a sloop of war built in a single night at the top of the world—Nevis wonders uneasily at its strange aura of power, its cannonballs of virgin brass . . . and its uncanny ability to glide swiftly through the waters without steam or sail. As great armies clash all around them, the mission of Lieutenant Nevis and the Nicodemus crew is shrouded in an impenetrable gray mist of magic and malevolence. For a fearsome adversary awaits on roiling waves—an awesomely powerful vessel fueled by cruelty and terror; a demon raider driven by an insatiable lust . . . for blood.

Is there any way to include Python code in a LaTeX file and automatically color its syntax? Is it possible to do syntax coloring with any other language? If yes what packages can I use to do that?
The standard way of doing this is to use the listings package. It allows a wide range of formatting for the output, can choose to display only part of an input file and so on. The package also comes with a number of predefined languages it understands, including Python.
I use matlab code in my papers. To get syntax coloring in matlab, put the following in the header:
Then use the
Then just enclose the matlab code inside
Another package to consider is fancyvrb. It is a bit more general than listings as it provides an expanded verbatim environment where listings focuses specifically on formatting source code- this means you can pull some tricks with listings that are not possible with fancyvrb. However, fancyvrb is the package used by the Sphinx documentation generator to highlight source code in PDF output.
If you are documenting some Python code, you may want to look into using Sphinx anyway- it is the bee's knees.
Another package that looks promising is minted. This package allows you to format code using Pygments which is a very sophisticated syntax highlighter written in Python.
For technical documentation my preferred method is to use Sphinx. The output LaTeX looks ugly (well, machine generated) but the output looks nice. It uses Pygments behind the scenes.
I've not used minted, but from what people say it should work just as well, and allow you to author a LaTeX document. (But if you use Sphinx, you'll get HTML and other outputs. They're working on epub.)
Here's some code I made to put listings of results and code in some homework i turned in recently. Results and code listings each get their own counter so they are numbered, and my paper can reference them.
Here's the stuff for the header:
Now, throughout my paper I include results from estimations without any language defined
And at the end I change the language to R to show some code

In Europe, where about half our sales come through the channel, I'm seeing some interesting opportunities for our partners to profit from the big data revolution that I wanted to share. The good news is that the customer demand is already here.
One is in providing expert professional services to help customers plan and implement big data solutions. Within this area, one of the biggest opportunities is in tool selection. There's a dizzying array of big data technology on the market, much of which is unfamiliar to customers. For example, there are at least ten NoSQL databases, so which one should they pick? And how should they further complete their big data architecture? Customers are looking for some hands-on guidance.
Another opportunity I am seeing is within partners that are embedding our analytics software to provide big data solutions 'as-a-service'. These partners offer to pull data from Twitter feeds, Facebook feeds and other sources, perform the advanced analytics on that data and finally serve up that data as a service to their clients. We are seeing a number of marketing software providers that offer these types of services to companies on a subscription basis
You can read more about my observations on how customers are benefitting from big data here in this recent article in the UK channel magazine Microscope.
What will help improve your chances of success?
First, don't try to boil the ocean! Focus on the needs of a specific industry. Big data uses cases differ massively even between retail banks and wholesales banks, so channel organisations really need to focus on tailored solutions to gain credibility.
Next, avoid the 'big bang' approach. Get customers warmed up with big data by proving the value of big data through small pilot projects using a couple of data sources that return specific and measurable outcomes. After the first stage is completed, identify new opportunities and goals and plan the next incremental stage. This allows the customer to become acquainted with the new technologies and processes along the way without being overwhelmed. Customers today want to see results quickly and have little appetite for long term development projects.
Our full Business Analytics platform is the ideal tool for this big data 'warm up' process. First you can tackle the data integration challenges using our Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) software. PDI makes big data technologies much easier to use. Its visual design tool significantly lowers the barriers to getting started with big data by cutting out the complex scripting and coding tasks.
From there you can immediately visualise the results with our underlying analytics engine. That way you can iteratively work your way to a solution that will prove valuable to the customer immediately. If you want to learn more about our big data solutions go to pentahobigdata.com
I hope this has convinced you that the big data revolution stands to offer you some real revenue opportunities today. If you're an IT channel organisation and would like to know more or you're a partner with a story to tell, please get in touch!

... I guess I need to set my coach gun up with a trailing cart to carry the 24V submarine battery that'd be needed to power all the necessities, such as lights, laser, taser, infrared, night vision, HD-maxi-pixel-47GB-sniperscope, and mini versions of all the above for my revolver. ...
...Or you can find an Ishapore SMLE in 7.62 NATO.
In terms of manual action rifles in military calibers, at some point in the past, Remington made a version of their 7600 pump action rifle in .223 that took AR mags. It's not listed on their web site any more. Or you can find an Ishapore SMLE in 7.62 NATO.
...Naturally, I did not, being the gentle, nonthreatening, unassuming sort that I am, but I thanked her kindly and said that she should send our esteemed President an appreciation card, what with him being her best salesman....
Just curious, did she mention a price before you gently declined the opportunity?
Well dang, Sgt. Drang, I was just funnin' and here you go with the real thing for my Fudd-blaster. If that was the scope that sees around corners and will make the slugs travel in loop-de-loops, I'd swear that's the same gun I used, along with a black powder BMG .50 when I won my 5th CMOH as doorgunner on the space shuttle. There we were, halfway to the Moon on the Starship Klingonclouter, when President Curly Bush had an attack of appendicitis. The only chance to save him was to hit the silk with the Prez under one arm and his beautiful red-headed nurse under the other. About that time, the alien shape-shifter stowaway followed us, disguised as Bob Hope. After a bit of free fall (I finally pulled the ripcord about 50 feet above Mt. Rushmore) ...Oops- that whole mission was so classified that I can't even mention it here.Oh, yeah, thanks for the link.
No, and I did not inquire. Prices overall, for most all caliber weapons over .22, seemed to be about 20% higher than mid-December. That may be my imagination, but the Remington 742 in .30-'06 I had my eye on was gone.You snooze, you lose.
My son recently acquired such a Fudd-weapon. (The 742). I'm trying to talk him into ditching the see-through scope rings to get it scope down to where it ought to be.
I don't want to hijack this gun show thread.
I used to go to that show when I was at Ft Bragg. The one in Fayetteville was too small.

I am trying to use sharepoint foundation 2010 as file store for a website. Every document update must go thru an approval cycle and finally gets to a approved status to show up on the website for end users. When a document is updated in sharepoint the status is reset to "Draft" even if the previous version was approved. This is the intended behavior.

How to get the version that was last "Approved"?

What's the worse commute you've ever experienced?
In light of the 60-freeway closure here in SoCal, my morning commute became MUCH worse than the normal 45 minutes for 20 miles.
It took 2-1/2 hours to get to work this morning. This time is the real carmageddon.
The only bright side is that I can say my left leg got a good workout, since my car is a stick shift.
So ... how bad have you ever had to experience?
7 Answers answer
I have two stories-
1. Stuck on a freeway with no way off for 4 hours due to an accident.
2. I've never been late to work at my current job. I left 5 minutes earlier than I normally do. I got on the freeway as the accident occured. Sat in traffic with all lanes closed for over an hour. Moral of the story? Never leave for work early!
Niagra Falls, New York to Waltham, Mass. Station wagon packed to the roof with belongings and 2 adults, 6 children (aged 1 1/2 to 13) 1 dog and 2 cats. Took over 14 hours due to a blinding snowstorm. I was the 13 year old and had coffee for the first time that morning. I had an allergic reaction and broke out in giant, painfully itchy hives. I'm starting to itch just thinking about it!
@narfcake: Thank you for reminding me how much I do not miss SoCal.
Worst commutes memories, in no particular order:
My daughter called me at work, and said "Come home, now, they're rioting, and burning down the city!" I left, and 10 minutes after I left, everyone was sent home for the day. I understand it took people 30 minutes just to get out of the parking lots. My normal 34 mile/55 minute commute took about three hours. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_riots_of_1992)
The Northridge Quake (1994) presented a few challenges. That 34 mile commute became more like 50 (due to obstacles and damaged roads), and stayed at 90 minutes or more for a couple of weeks.
There have been plenty of others, but those are the most memorable.
Doncha know, it's always something (I loved Roseanne Roseannadanna).
Oh I forgot one- not really a commute though...We were on vacation and were driving towards Nashville. The storm hit, and they shut down the roads. We were stuck there for nearly 12 hours. FEMA brought us food and drinks. It was awful!
I'll take commute to mean travel to or from work or school and not trips for vacations and the like. (If we count vacation travel, it would be my 23 hour trip from NY City to Las Vegas involving three cabs and five jet planes.)
For commuting, I've been fairly lucky as my normal commute has been 1 to 5 miles not requiring any highways or bridges for the last 25 or so years. Worst case has been during a blizzard or just after a tornado, both of which took about 45 minutes.
Prior to that, I was stuck on a stalled elevated subway train between stations (this contradiction will sense to New Yorkers, the IRT #7 line) for about six hours back in the early 80s during a blizzard.
9-11 caused a hellish commute for a number of my friends, family and coworkers. My girlfriend's normally 20-40 minute commute took over eight hours that day, with more than six of them parked 20 yards from the bridge she needed to cross to get home. My sister had to walk about 1/2 of the 13 or so miles to get home.
Several years ago we had a sudden ice storm hit Raleigh shortly before rush hour.
Commutes that typically take 10-15 minutes took 4-5 hours that night.
And there were no alternate routes to take because all roads were just as backed up.
My then-girlfriend-now-wife lived in Durham about15 minutes (on a typical day) west. The roads were't effected there art all. I called her after being on the road for well over an hour and only moving about 3 miles. I was pretty stressed out. She and her roommate had run out dinner and were't even aware that the roads in Raleigh were bad.
What? no "snowmaggedon" posts here yet? The D.C. area had a mid-afternoon snowstorm last winter. Traffic here is bad enough, but with everyone leaving at once (probably should have let everyone out earlier, or treated earlier) things jammed up and got slick quickly.
My husband's hour and a half commute (1/3 of it on the metro) turned into eight hours that day. He had to stop for gas midway through. People were abandoning their cars in the road if they couldn't get traction. One friend posted her situation on facebook, discovered a co-worker lives nearby where she was stranded, so parked her car and stayed with the co-worker for the night.

Aramco and Sinopec Group signed the deal to develop the 400,000-bpd refinery, known as Yasref, in January last year. Sinopec holds a 37.5% stake in the project, while Saudi Aramco owns 62.5%. The proposed commence date is slightly behind schedule, which was slated for September 2014.
By YUE LI
SHANGHAI -- Saudi Arabian Oil Co., or Aramco, and China Petrochemical Corp. or Sinopec
Group, are expected to start their joint Yanbu, Saudi
Arabia-based oil refinery operations by the end of
2014, a top executive from Aramco said Thursday.
The proposed commence date is slightly behind schedule,
which according to Aramco's website was slated for September
"That project is already in the process of
execution and construction. Our expectation is (to
be operational) by the end of next year," CEO of Aramco
Trading, Said A. Al-Hadrami, told Dow Jones on the
sidelines of a CRU conference.
Aramco and Sinopec Group signed the deal to develop the
400,000-bpd refinery, known as Yasref, in
January last year. Sinopec holds a 37.5% stake in the project, while Saudi Aramco owns
62.5%. Sinopec Group is Asia's biggest oil refiner by
US oil major ConocoPhillips in 2011 pulled out of the Yanbu
project after deciding to cut back
on refining and marketing
The Aramco-Sinopec deal is part of efforts by China and
Saudi Arabia to strengthen energy ties.
In 2011, Aramco agreed to an initial deal with PetroChina to
supply crude oil to a new refinery in southwest China, a move
aimed at cementing Saudi Arabia's position as China's top crude
China surpassed the US as the biggest importer of oil from
Saudi Arabia in 2009.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
