Have you ever seen shirt.woot shirts in public? How do you react?
Having bought tons of shirts on Shirt.Woot!, I've gained the ability to quickly identify a Woot Shirt when in public. Of course, there's really only been 3 times where I've seen Woot shirts in public, but I've made it a game!
The first time was during the Garlic Festival, I saw
The Epic Begins http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=7762
As I walked past the person, uncontrollably, I pointed and exclaimed, "Woot Shirt!"
Yesterday, I spotted The Epic Begins as I was leaving a pet store where, again, I pointed and loudly stated, "Woot Shirt!" in order to let my girlfriend know.
Later on that day, as I was driving away from an electronics store, I caught a glimpse of a pedestrian wearing
By Your Powers Combined! http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=16285
and had to loudly let my girlfriend know that I had spotted shirt.
TL;DR: Have you identified fellow shirt.wooters besides your friends or acquaintances and is it okay to out them by pointing and stating "Woot Shirt!" in a audible tone?

Seeing a woot shirt in the wild is like being in a super secret club or spotting a rare animal, isn't it?
I am always on the lookout but have never seen one in the being worn in the wild, not counting the ones my wife or kids are wearing of course
Saw my first Woot shirt in the wild last week.
Picking up some non-Woot gear for work and ran into a gent wearing the "Pull Up, You Fools!" shirt.
When we started chatting about the shirt his girlfriend rolled her eyes and got that same glossed over look my wife gets when I get a new Woot shirt in the mail.
Yeah, I just saw one yesterday! Someone was wearing the red chocolate and marshmallow on the graham cracker couch shirt. It was awesome!
I've yet to see a Woot Shirt in the wild beyond my circle. I do scream "Woot Shirt!" and point when I see a friend is wearing one though. I kind of enjoy embarrassing them. ;)
I wear a Woot shirt almost every day. I have met a few people with shirts or who say "Is that a Woot shirt?" and then we'll ramble on about BoC's usually.
My favorite Woot shirt moment was actually YESTERDAY.
I was in the city to see YuGiOh: Bonds Beyond Time because the person who made YuGiOh Abridged was gonna be there. I knew he was British, so I wore my It Came Out Of Nowhere shirt. When I met him, he said, "I really like that shirt! I actually have it too." That was definitely a great moment in shirt history for me
I tend to mainly see them in airports for some reason, although there were a LOT at the Emerald City Comicon this weekend.
My kid wears one to school everyday. The kids in his classes point at him and say "woot shirt". His favorite to wear to English class is "Read the Whole Book" -
But I have yet to see a woot shirt in the wild that wasn't on one of my kids.
@llandar: didnt know they had Comicon in Detroit.
I saw a guy wearing one with a colorful tree at a Phish show last year. I said nothing...
At my work we have shirt.woot days where anyone who has one of the many shirts wheres it to work. Usually its a friday like good friday or something.
I saw the Pi/Pie one last week and just remarked to the guy as I was ringing him up, "Got that from Woot?" and he laughed and told me he was impressed that someone recognized it.
Also, my roommate last year had the one with the bunny disguised as a penguin. He was the one who introduced me to Woot.
I saw a woman at IHOP one day wearing "Watch it Grow" by the talented artist Tgentry.
She was wearing an unzipped hoodie, and I saw enough of the shirt to recognize it. I asked if it was a woot shirt and she said yes. We were in the waiting section of the restaurant, so we chatted for a few minutes about how much we like woot tshirts. Then they had a table for her, so she left to go eat. My to-go order came shortly after. My first sighting in the wild! I like the older shirts much better than the more recent ones. Here is the full woot shirt archive:
Yes, it was my first semester back in college. I was in a study group and was wearing the "It came out of no where" tee. Another girl in the group said to me "you got that on Woot!" Needless to say, we swapped stories about this things we've bought from this site.
I saw one on a webcam type site. (Im talking the other 60% of the internet content here)
The nice girl was wearing the "donut and donut hole re-united" tshirt. Kinda cool to spot one out there. I watched for 5-10mins but alas, she was only interested in modeling the shirt.
My son and I point and whisper. That might be more embarrassing than the loud voice. The person might wonder if it's the Woot shirt or something else attracting attention. We've seen Woot shirts at least 4 times that I can remember.
I've never seen one in the wild... I have a bunch and only once has someone recognized one, (or at least let me know they did). It was "Friends are Forever" http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=6510 as I walked into my local sushi bar!
Funny you should mention this, About 2 days ago at Disney world I saw someone wearing "The hills are alive."
I pointed it out to my girlfriend.
Also, we where in line for a harry potter ride.
I'm such a dork.
"Boss shirt, boss"
Isn't that what we are supposed to say?
Anyway, I see them occasionally in the wild. More often than not though I'm the one getting spotted. One of the best ones was when I was at the Orlando MegaCon and I was proudly wearing my TacoCat shirt. A cute girl came up and said "Tacocat" and pointed it out to her equally cute friend. So it can be a good conversation starter too :)
Last year at Gen-Con Indy, I high-five'd every person I saw with a Woot Shirt on.
I reached my high-five quota for the year in just a few hours!
The only one I've ever seen being worn (that didn't belong to my family) was Chucknorium. http://shirt.woot.com/shirts/chucknorium @llandar, my sighting was in an airport, too.
Another airport sighting: peanut butter cheating on jelly. I gave the dude a smile, and he gave me a funny look (I was in mom mode, covered in applesauce, carrying a toddler).
I wore my pi shirt on 3/14, and got a lot of weird looks from a lot of people. Pfft. Non-nerds suck.
I see the jelly donut murder image misappropriated online all the time... and that was my first woot! shirt.
Boss shirt, Boss.
I wore my run for something...like aids or africa or something. Apparently it is offensive to some people. I had no idea since it isnt supposed to be taken seriously. An african american man called me a jerk and rolled his eyes. I was like..what? oh...my shirt...wtf man...sorry you have no sense of humor.
I wear one every week walking through the waterfront in San Diego. I've only seen three in the wild. Always pleasant people a little surprised at the attention until they see I'm wearing one too. Fun conversation starters.
Saw the Velociraptor on the bike shirt on a student at the University of Minnesota at the undergraduate research poster symposium. Being a dinosaur lover as well, it was all I could do to keep from shouting WOOT! or Velociraptor! or some other such comment.
I was at a workshop today with about 250 people. In the morning, I spotted someone with the
"pandemonium shirt "
When we finally were near each other I called her out on it, "woot shirt" and she said, "you too!" I had on
"to air"
It was funny and we hit it off, we started chatting about our favorite shirt artists and shared our opinions about certain suspicious artists.
A couple times before I have seen folks with woot shirts, but it is rare. I once called out a woot shirt on a random dude on my walk to work, but he totally took it as me hitting on him and then it was just totally awkward. You got to be careful when calling out woot shirts even though it is exciting to see others with them on.
I get recognized a lot wearing Woot shirts. And exclaiming "Woot Shirt!" and pointing is what they normally do. I think I accidentally embarrassed someone last week while wearing one. I went to see a movie and noticed a guy staring at me while waiting in the snack line, he noticed me notice him, and I think he thought that I thought he was staring at my chest. Then he turned red, exclaimed "Woot Shirt!" and ran the other direction. lol
I have spotted ppl wearing some. Woot shirts are the only shirts that I wear.. so :).
btw that shirt.what archive is missing a few of the shirts that I own. Zombie Garden, Energy Harvester and a bunch of others
I've given a thumbs up and said "nice shirt" to a guy wearing the Dr. Who/Back to the Future shirt and said "woot shirt" to a guy walking in the opposite direction who gave me a smile and nod back wearing a shirt that I can't remember.
Has anyone had to explain their shirts to people? I had a very awkward exchange at the supermarket with the cashier who I had to say both sides of the joke. Very funny and awkward.
A friend of a friend was wearing the "Reflections on Pi" shirt:
in a facebook picture. I commented, saying "is that from Woot!?" and got a response in the affirmative.
Unfortunately I haven't seen a shirt in the wild yet... I do work at an airport driving a shuttle though, so maybe it's just a matter of time. I have, however, picked up a guy that had a wine.woot sticker in his rear window. I didn't get around to saying anything.
I like to point at them and then strike up a convo about their shirt, tell them about my Woot!s. Then we feel like t-shirt snobs, lol. But it seriously is like being in a members only club, minus the sweet jackets... membersonlyjacket.woot.com???
I am generally spotted more often than I spot others. But there is generally a "Woot Shirt" exclamation.
It was almost distracting when I was in Vegas earlier this year. Made me feel like Frankie, everyone coming up to me to talk.

a tease from NGV4
I feel a bit like I'm emerging from captivity, although not an unpleasant captivity, just an intense one. I spend the last month designing the pieces for the 4th Berroco volume with my name on it. Let's refer to the upcoming book as NGV4 , eliminating the need to type my own name over and over like a crazed ego manic (or a little kid just learning to write). I swatched, I sketched, and then the hard part began. In order to actually make my ideas work I drew up very detailed schematics and wrote the first instruction. Wow, that took so much time! Why can't I just do normal sweaters?!
Ok, I don't really mean that, since I thrive on doing things I haven't done before. So now, there are 14 sample garments (some, risky experiments and some, not so much) out there in the hands of a dozen of the best knitters I've worked with.
…the tease:

I'm trying to find a way to filter through thousands of jpg files, and keep only the files with a certain attribute (such as the camera brand with which the picture was captured). How can I do so?
There are several tools that can extract EXIF data or even manipulate image files based on their EXIF data.
With exiftool, you can rename files based on exif properties. In particular, you can easily dispatch files into subdirectories named after a particular exif property. You can then review the results and delete the directories containing files that you aren't interested in to your leisure.
Exiftool makes this easy, but for illustration, here's a shell snippet that sorts jpeg files into subdirectories based on an EXIF property using exif. The property value must not contain

Last hitting (the act of killing hostile creeps to get gold and experience) is vital in Dota 2 especially for carries. Looking at some "pro" players streaming I see that they almost get all last hits, but I have some timing difficulties. How can improve my last hitting skill other than play, play and play? Are there any tecniques to learn that can help me?
When you're last hitting in Dota2, a lot of the damage from creeps is being dealt by the ranged creep. Notice which enemy creep it's attacking and often simply just time your projectile to hit immediately before or immediately after the ranged creep's attack to ensure the last hit. You should be hitting each enemy creep exactly once- this way your enemies won't have a chance to deny it while you're waiting for your next attack. If your opponents are too close to the wave, especially if they're melee and you're ranged, you can harass your opponent to completely remove the ability for them to deny you. Doing this will draw creep aggression to you, however, so you should usually start to back away as soon as your attack is released to minimize the damage you'll take (none, if you've positioned properly). If you feel like you're in a good position, you can also animation cancel (begin walking towards your target) as soon as the attack is released, and usually get off more attacks and really harass your opponent. Just be careful when chasing past the creep wave, you usually don't want to expose yourself that much unless you're in a strong position and an creep wave can do a surprising amount of damage.
Your starting items will also help you to last hit in lane dramatically. My typical ranged carry build is a +3 primary stat, a +2 all stats, and three +1 all stats items, and a health potion or tangos. This gives you adequate health regeneration, +95 HP, and +8 damage, and builds nicely into a Magic Wand and a Wraith Band/Talisman. For melee carries, I usually buy a Stout Shield, a health potion, tangos, and three +1 all stats items. I see a lot of new players buy boots or other worthless items first that don't help them win the lane, they just lose it less dramatically. You'll be surprised how simple choices like this can help you crush a lane early against equally skilled opponents who are making bad choices. If you're a melee hero competing with a hard hitting melee hero or an opponent who keeps denying creeps, consider buying a Quelling Blade to improve your damage. If it lets you get 3 last hits you otherwise wouldn't and then you sell it, it's more than paid for itself.
One concept calling animation canceling is unintuitive at first but incredibly important both in lane and in general. To perfect your last hitting, you'll need to know how to do this and understand your hero's attack point. Here's a full list of Attack Points that's sortable (add the Atk Point column)- they typically are between .3 and .6 seconds, with a few outliers. A lower attack point is better because it lets you prepare an attack faster. It's kind of like riding the edge of a trigger: you want to be really close to firing as often as possible, but not actually fire until you're sure of it. When you know your hero's attack point (which will improve over the course of the game as you gain attack speed), you can start attacks and cancel the animation just before it completes by pressing S or H, immediately being able to start another attack. Doing this repeatedly is very effective for faking attacks and causing your enemy to misplay- they won't know when your true attack will be coming out. To last hit with ranged heroes you'll also have to account for projectile speed, which also varies but can be seen in the same link.
Since you are asking this question, I assume that you realize that last hitting one of the most important aspects of the game. Denying is almost equally important as it not only denies the opponents XP and gold, but can also cause your opponent to get frustrated and make more mistakes.
Here are some tips and things to think about.
4b. Something to note is that minions and towers are often being killed by bursts of damage in which every minion and/or the wagon hits them at once. Sometimes this can make it difficult to last hit.
My suggestion to you would be to play some bot games with an easy last hitting character. Sniper would be my first choice for this as he has the fastest attack animation in the game. Alternatively Anti-Mage is a fast melee attacker. As you get better with the suggestions above, you will be able to apply them to the slower attacking characters.
Practice practice practice!
I only started not too long ago, here's what I've learned so far:
Not all heroes have the same difficulty level in last hitting. For example, Tiny is a high damage, melee hero, while Rylai the crystal maiden is a long range, slow animation, slow bullet speed.
I suggest you start with "easy" heroes like tiny an gradually move all the way up to more difficult ones like Rylai.
Early game is crucial for last hitting since it allows you to gain a little edge over your opponent. However this is rather difficult to "train" during this time since you have a lot of pressure. Mid game in "abandonned" lanes or genuine 4v5 are excellent opportunities to rack up last hits

Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance Saleh Al-Asheikh today welcomed the beginning of trials for 991 suspected militants in connection with terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia over the past five years.
Minister of Interior Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz announced the indictments in a statement yesterday.
Al-Asheikh said that the trials are a way to bring justice to the families of the victims as well as the families of the suspects. He stressed the importance of promoting moderation among the Saudi youth and called on mosques to confront extremist ideology.
More indictments are expected once the requisite procedures have been completed, Prince Nayef said.

Apologies if my question seems overly naive, but I haven't seen/heard/read any good answers.
What is modern computability theory "really" about? The study of feasible(even remotely feasible) algorithms falls under the domain of theoretical and non-theoretical computer science. There is, of course, the a posteriori fact that computability theory tells us a lot about the structure of the natural numbers(I'm thinking of Turing degrees, etc). But, from a certain perspective, this can be seen as a historical coincidence. (I'm not saying that this is necessarily a "correct" perspective).
So what is the motivation for the subject of modern computability theory?

Though not from Baker Creek, I have grown lemongrass in Zone 8b for years. A Thai co-worker gave me a few little stalks and I planted them near the house. From those 2 small slips, I have divided and re-planted all around the house and garden. It makes a fantastic accent as a tall and willowy grass. One variety is "Eastern" lemongrass and is not as tall or thick-stalked, and one is "Western" lemongrass that is more widely used for Asian culinary purposes. The most showy clumps near the porch I dig up and place in a 3-gallon bucket in a south-facing (but shady) window over the winter with just enough water to cover the bare roots. They yellow just a bit until planting again in March, but then they're off and growing again. Other clumps I cut to just above the ground and let them be, and they over winter easily in the Deep South.

This grew very well last summer (2010) in our Zone 4a area. I brought some in before our first frost and it has continued to grow on our kitchen windowsill. I'm ordering more seed for this year!

I have planted a dozen or so of these around the swimming pool, though it does freeze in the winter at 32 or so, it is VERY quick to sprout back from the roots, it forms a 2foot dia' clump at the base that, for me reaches 5+ feet tall. Very long leaves that drap and blow in the breeze. i use the leaves to make thai soups and a very light mild lemony tea.

All my iPad landscape screenshots end up rotated to portrait view. In other words, they are 90 degrees turned the wrong way. It's annoying. No I don't have the rotation lock on when taking them. I am on 4.2, but it has always done this even before 4.2 update. I am jailbroken, so it may be one of the jailbreak apps. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
This is default behavior and is not an issue with jailbreaking. Even my new iPad 2 straight out the box does this on 4.3. I see this as a bug and hope Apple fixes this.
The fastest and simplest iPad app that I've found that I like for rotating, cropping and flipping is called Crop Suey HD.
UPDATE: It appears as though iOS 5 has finally fixed this annoying bug. And the even better news is that they are now throwing in photo editing tools right in the photo viewer app; including the option to rotate.
That is just the way it is... why... I don't know, but they can be rotated using either the photo app, or photoshop express.... don't remember which one I used...
When I did all the screenshots for my Keynote for iPad book, I had to solve this problem. The easiest way to do it is with an application that we all have in the Applications folder on our Macs but usually don't think of: Image Capture. Connect your iPad via USB, then fire up Image Capture. There's a toolbar at the bottom of the Image Capture window with buttons that let you rotate selected shots 90 degrees left or right.
Better yet, you can use Automator to create an Image Capture plugin that performs a variety of image transforms. The one I created first rotates the picture 90 degrees left (Preview action), then converts it from the native PNG to TIFF (Preview action), then saves it to a specified folder (Finder action). The plugin appears in the Import To pop-up menu in the Image Capture toolbar.

He is another figure from Marvel Comics that has always been one of my favorite even before he was in the Spiderman movie. His slithering thick, long tongue just adds that much awesomeness to his character design. I think Stan Lee is one of the most create people in existence along with George Lucas, H.R.

Queen's "Greatest Hits" MP3 Full Album for $3.99
Download Queen's Greatest Hits by Queen for $3.99.

Everyone should own this.
Not bad, but Bohemian Rhapsody is NOT on there.
^^ Nor "Mr. Roboto".
@the4man: because it was sung by Styx, not Queen. Blerg.....
Queen's Greatest Hits-We Will Rock You Version is also on sale for $3.99. It starts off with Rhapsody.
@the4man: seriously?
@the4man: LOL : P
@hrweaver: This is the more complete album, and for the same $3.99 it gives you...
1. Bohemian Rhapsody
14. Flash
18. I'm In Love With My Car
19. Under Pressure (Live)
20. Tie Your Mother Down (Live)
The listed one has these, so just buy them ala carte for .99 each:
13. Body Language
17. I Want To Break Free
Elton John's # 1's same price $3.99
@ontheborder77: I could have sworn that the "Greatest Hits" CD I bought years ago, the first one released in 1995, started off with BR. This one has "Body Language" instead. But with a little checking, BR was on the "Classic Queen" album, most of which later became "Greatest Hits II." When the two were combined into "Greatest Hits I & II," the order was redone so that BR was the first track on the first CD.
No Queen collection can be complete without BR. Personally I recommend the Platinum Collection.

Russia will liberalize exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the beginning of next year, bringing to an end the monopoly of gas giant OAO Gazprom.
By ANDREY
Russia will
liberalize exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the
beginning of next year, bringing to an end the monopoly of gas
giant OAO Gazprom, the country's energy minister said in an
interview published Tuesday.
Alexander Novak told Kommersant that amendments to
the export law introducing liberalization should be passed to
the government in the coming weeks with measures in place from
January 1, 2014.
President Vladimir Putin said in June that Russia should
liberalize the LNG market, allowing companies other than
state-controlled Gazprom to sell gas abroad.
Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said the opening up of
exports will allow Russia to enter the market "at the right
time." He also said that liberalization would speed up the
three major projects planned by Gazprom, OAO
Novatek and OAO Rosneft by increasing competition.
Russian companies have already signed large-scale deals with
Asian partners. In June, Novatek signed a deal to ship gas from
its planned Arctic liquefaction plant to China National
Petroleum Corp., which acquired a 20% stake in the project.
Also, state
oil firm OAO Rosneft signed agreements to ship LNG to Japan, as
well as agreeing to supply China with 15 million metric tons/yr
of crude oil for 25 years, at just over $10 billion/yr.

Changes in the website: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/
Just found the changes today.
Always worth to have a look to this site. To get knowledge about basics. Besides Panoheads and "top equipment". To be able to shoot good panos, we should have basic knowledge about Photography. For me this is one of the basic sites besides others.
So long,

My mother would like me to sort out a new device for here and I am pondering:
Android Tablet
The reason I ask on a Linux forum is that I am running Linux and currently support her on her Windows XP netbook using TeamViewer. I'd like to be able to support her remotely on her future device. She'd like a tablet but I can see drawbacks:
- Storage - a tablet is likely to only have 16 or 32 gb. How do I ensure she has all her stuff to hand?
- Remote support - this is probably the deal-breaker. Are there any remote access tools for controlling tablets? I certainly can't find any.
- Applications - Probably not a huge problem as I am sure there are android apps that will edit Word and Excel, which is about all she needs
- user interface - Obviously this is very different (and may be part of the reason I can't find remote control options).
One thing I did think it that I could upload all her stuff to the Cloud (maybe an upgraded DropBox account) and get her using the Google applications. Maybe getting her to mail me screenshots of issues she may be having as a way around the lack of remote control software, if that is possible.
Or I could just sort her out with a new laptop.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm working on a project involving roads. The quality of the service would benefit from knowing if a given road is continuous or if it's broken up by stop signs, traffic signals, and other things that effect a motorist.
I haven't found anyhing googling around online. I also contacted my local city government, but they only grant access to the data for city projects. I'm guessing most areas would have similar rules.
Is there another source, public or commericial, that could help me out? Or am I out of luck?
EDIT - I should note that I'm looking for data in the USA.

I think Mono, and the C# language, are a great, nay, fantastic project.
My question is: how prevalent is Mono in Ubuntu? How much of a penetration is it getting, and what applications run on it?
There are a good number of programs that use mono in Ubuntu if you look at the whole repository. In the default install, I believe the following are the only mono apps:
There may be more, I just made this list from looking at which applications would be removed if I removed libmono*. However, even just having these means that a good portion of the mono framework is installed by default which makes it very easy to deploy mono apps onto Ubuntu. A few very popular Ubuntu applications are written in mono, including gnome-do, Banshee, and docky. The trend I've seen from the sidelines is that despite its detractors, mono is gaining a lot of ground with Desktop application authors because of the speed at one can develop fairly rich GUI apps with the monodevelop IDE.

Literate programming has good ideals. Why do you think that this isn't mainstream? It is because it has failed to deliver?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I first saw it in a book of Knuth's writings, and thought it looked neat. Then I tried to use the literary programming display to comprehend what was going on in the program, and found it harder than it looked. It may have been that I was too used to going through program listings, but it seemed confusing.
Then I looked at the source code, and that turned me off then and there. I'd have to learn to write programs in an entirely new way, with less correspondence between the program text and what the compiler saw, and saw no corresponding benefit.
In addition, people can write long and convincing arguments that the code is doing X when it's actually doing Y, and I've run into my share of misleading comments. I developed a fondness for reading the code to see what it's doing fairly early. Literate programming is the antithesis of that.
I would blame the network effect. For other people to edit your code and documentation, they must be able to understand it.
This pushes people away from something like cweb/noweb, because using them would require you to learn TeX and the program-specific syntax on top of the programming language you are using for the project. This can be seen as a huge waste of time, especially if they don't need any of the math typesetting that is such a big draw for TeX in the first place. (And for many applications programmers, they really won't need it.) Instead they prefer something like Visual Studio's XML comments, because that's already popular and well-established.
The places I have seen literate programming take off are in scientific/statistical computing, where most of the programmers have significant training (aka PhDs) in math, CS, or statistics, and thus are already famliiar with LaTeX. The documentation they write is more likely to include a lot of complicated formulae that are best written in TeX, and they are more likely to be programming in R. The proportion of R programmers who know about SWeave is definitely much higher than, say, the proportion of C programmers who know about cweb.
I was fascinated by the concept of Literate Programming in the late 90'es while studying, and I am still intrigued with Knuths approach to programming, and typesetting. Nothing but the best will do.
The Literate Programming system that Knuth designed did much, much more than immediately meets the eye, namely it overcome many shortcomings in the underlying programming language that the code generation tool generated from Knuths source document, namely standard Pascal.
For those fortunate enough not to have tried Standard Pascal, here are some of the highlights.
All these things basically meant that Knuth needed a better programming language (so he invented one) and it used Pascal as its assembly language.
Most modern languages can do these things without much effort, therefore removing a LARGE part of the work that Literate Programming were to solve.
Also modern languages are more expressive allowing more thought to be put in the code itself.
So, what is left? The ability to generate a typeset form of documentation from the source code, and THAT exists today.
Just think JavaDoc - the Java runtime API is perhaps the largest piece of Literate Programming available today (except that the code isn't actually presented, but it COULD have been if Java was open sourced from the start). See for instance the presentation of the collections framework on http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html
I believe similar systems exist for .NET and other mainstream programs.
Coders write code not English.
Coders don't like writing documentation because it doesn't help the code run.
Coders aren't good at writing documentation because its a poor medium to express their ideas.
Literate programming seems to be the idea of taking documentation to the next level where the code is more of an after-thought. Maybe it would work, but to most coder it looks like obnoxious documentation.
One thing I discovered when I had my fling with literate programming in the 90s was that it attracted very passionate people who wanted to do Exactly The Right Thing - and that involved writing their own literate programming system because no existing one was good enough for them. noweb was a good attempt to cut that off by providing a good-enough least common denominator for everyone, although even then, I spent most of my LP time developing a pretty-printer for it...
Another issue is that it is really anti-agile. In some ways, being slowed down is good because it forces you to think more up-front and get things right the first time. On the other hand, meticulously documenting as you go means that there's a large barrier to refactoring your code. And if you wait until your code is hardened before you LP-ify it, you end up with a multi-day documentation task, which can really stop you in your tracks.
Principally because people are VERY STUPID. Obvious testimony to which is an endless stream of guesses and misunderstandings expressed by young people about the nature of this simple technique.
People take LP to be: (a) a method of documentation (b) a method of writing some polished essays that necessitates some special skills or talents (c) simply have no clue - as the creator of Leo programming editor, by his own admission etc. etc. etc.
LP however is simply: (1) writing programs in a mixture of code and phrases in a (=any) human language, where the latter stand for other chunks of code and/or included phrases. This is precisely what authors of innumerous programming textbooks do.. and (2) it is a simple preprocessor that expands those phrases in human (which became as if names of included subroutines) to unravel the result IN THE ORDER REQUIRED BY THE COMPILER (or interpreter). Otherwise one can expand the written text with another small utility to include formatting symbols to turn the "literate source" into a nice well-formatted readable text.
Young people never try this extremely simple idea - and either fantasize or imagine fake reasons why they'll never try or do it.
Basically the main idea of programming "in pseudocode" written in a human language and then expanding it with a simple preprocessor utility HELPS MANAGE ATTENTION (limited, a main difficulty for any longish program), pretty much like code folding or division of your program flow into functions/subroutines, needed for you not to lose yourself in the details, but wholly unnecessary for the machine execution.
In my humble opinions, many companies have a culture who is the opposite to the objectives of Literate Programming: they want faster results (they only cry about quality when the app is in production). In my own experience, my bosses had refuse to understand that faster results doesn't mean "a program runnable the day after I asking for." For them, if a developer isn't busy typing over his keyboard, he isn't working, is "wasting his time in design-non-sense". Yes, I know, my boss is an arsehole.
There are 2 aspects of literate programming that I do wish were incorporated into mainstream programming -- embedded imagery (e.g., design diagrams) and pointers to previous and alternate attempts (e.g., "The reason it's like this is because I tried this other way and it didn't work because ..."). Both of those aspects can be handled with doc-comments and URIs.
Because the logic of programs does not work the same as we speak. A program has a well specified flow, and conditions, and loops.
After having coding at lot, I THINK in these terms. My brain transforms problems into the target domain of executable code. And it is much more efficient for me to write this down in a usually programming language, than having to do the extra transform step to make my programs literate.
In fact, I believe my programs already are literate... speaking identifiers, good function names, comments where I did some hackery which i wouldn't comprehend immediately myself after a few months.
To conclude: My Java code is more literate by itself as every "literate" programming wants to be.
I write horrible english (which is my native language) and great code. What do you think will happen if i tried literate programming?
Besides, that code still looks like C++ and i have no idea how other languages will be handled. The wikipedia example looks completely stupid.
I came to literate programming the other way around - I dreamed having the code organized as it fits my mind, not as the compiler requires it. I found Leo almost ideal for this purpose. It also supports keeping track of files changed outside. These files do not have to contain any special markup, so I can use Leo for myself without any need for others in the team to know. This feature - "@shadow trees" - is very promising, although still bit buggy, needs more eyeballs. And it also fixes the "oh no, everything in one big file" problem both by organizing everything into tree outline and by support for external files.
For me, contrary to the name, the "literate programming" is not about documentation at all. I don't have more documentation than before. It is about having structure that helps me to not become lost. I swear by it especially when managing behemoth JSP files (and that despite Leo was originally intended primarily for Python and it does not have support for JSP language - I have to split the file to Leo tree manually !).
I see it as a valuable teaching tool, where a dissertation on code can be written, and then snippets of working code interleaved in it to instruct readers on the hows, whats, and whys of the code.
Outside a purely educational environment, I think only Knuth really understands how best to use it.
It's the worst of all worlds - you have to write a highly correct, highly specific computer program in a very non-specific language = english. So you have to carefully write it using exactly the correct phrases - so you might as well just write code.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Construction workers bolted a 408-foot spire into place atop One World Trade Center on Friday, symbolically capping New York's comeback after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The spire brings the iconic building to a height of 1,776 feet -- an allusion to the year the United States declared its independence. It also makes the building the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey confirmed the installation. The pieces installed Friday morning were hoisted to a temporary platform atop the building last week.
The spire contains 18 steel sections and three communication rings. The first -- and heaviest -- steel section was installed in January. It weighs more than 67 tons, according to a statement from the Port Authority.
It will serve as an antenna for a television broadcast facility housed in the building, which rises from the site near the original World Trade Center towers, which fell in the 2001 attacks.
Last week, construction director Steven Plate told CNN affiliate WABC that the spire will be a "beacon that'll be seen for miles around and give a tremendous indication to people around the entire region, and the world, that we're back and we're better than ever."
Construction on the building began in April 2006.

We just upgraded from MOSS 2007 to SPS 2010. There were several ASPX pages built with SharePoint designer that had data from lists appear in tabular format.
What used to work:
If a Title was hyperlinked http://site.com/something.aspx?ID={@ID} in SharePoint Designer, the resulting hyperlink on the webpage for row with ID 5 was site.com/something.aspx?ID=5.
What doesn't work:
The hyperlink that showed site.com/something.aspx?ID=5 on the webpage now shows site.com/something.aspx?ID=. Query string ID has no value. I am clueless as to what happened there and how to resolve this.
What we tried and didn't work:
We removed and recreated the hyperlink using Designer 2010, this time choosing fx formula icon and choosing the ID but the result was the same - ID query string had no value for any row that appeared on the webpage.
Has anyone seen such a behavior? If so, how would you go about solving it?

Yoga, Motherhood and Hope
Hope, expectation, anticipation, the desire for a certain outcome. Hope is what moves us forward, motivates us and keeps our faith strong during the hard times. Hope is essential for our existence; yet there are times — when the world seems to be in a state of chaos — when it is easy to wonder where hope is.
In thinking about hope and how to find it in our world, I realized that for me, hope comes from my yoga practice and my kids, as both remind me on a constant basis that hope dwells within us, not outside of ourselves, and that in order to tap into that wellspring of hope, it is essential to find the peace within to let hope blossom.

Hello all, London calling!We took the test this morning (15th) and it was hard! I found RC hard, and the first LR too, but logic games better than average, and the second LR okay. I was bummed that the second RC was so easy - I hate experimentals!I reckon the scale will be average, that RC will balance out LG but who knows. I'm praying for a generous scale.Someone on this board predicted the scale would be tough - I was hoping you could tell me why you think this. I've taken a ton of tests but cannot predict the scale well. What do the rest of you think? Easy? Hard?Best wishes,me
Isn't the "scale" a bell curve of the results? How can that be generours or not generous? Do they do something other than a straight curve?
I think it is a bell curve of every test takers score. I do think it will be a more generous curve for the simple fact that there were 28 RC questions. I have never seen that before, and everyone knows most people run out of time on the RC section anyways.
no the scale is independant of any particular group of test takers. its a bell curve of performances of test takers over the past 3 years and based on experimental sections.
Quote from: GreenEqsnHam on June 15, 2004, 01:29:10 PMno the scale is independant of any particular group of test takers. its a bell curve of performances of test takers over the past 3 years and based on experimental sections.So the scale has to be adjusted to that when this batch of results in added to the 3 year running bell curve and the 3 year old test is removed, it it still a bell curve, correct? If so, then the scale is still determined by a curve (combined with other results or standing alone, there is no "generosity" involved.)If not, then I don't understand your post as it would seem to be impossible to use the term "bell curve" and "generous scale" when speaking of the same resultant gardes.Let me know your thoughts please as I never really looked into the issue back when i took the test.
read the link i provided, but i will try to explain it better.

TORONTO - Based on Monday's outcome, Brian Perkins may want to give his baseball team more weekends off.
Ralph King was solid on the Knight Baseball Complex hill and the offense manufactured just enough runs as Toronto nipped Big Red 6-5.
"We had a bad week last week so we took the weekend off to clear our heads," Perkins said. "Our kids showed up today ready to go. We had a great workout before the game and we came out and hit the ball. It was a good team victory over a very good Big Red club."
King scattered five hits in going the distance as the Red Knights improved to 13-7. He held the Big Red hitless until the fourth and worked his way out of a seventh-inning jam.
"Ralph came through with a real gutsy performance," Perkins noted. "The kids behind him really fielded the ball well (King has just one strikeout during the contest)."
Matt Petrella was the hard-luck loser. He allowed just three hits, but Big Red was guilty of six fielding miscues. He also didn't surrender a hit until the fourth.
"We can't make plays, and when you don't make plays, you're not going to beat anyone," Fred Heatherington was quick to point out. "We have bad at-bats, we take them the field and we pout.
"That's why we don't make plays."
Toronto scored its first run in the second without the benefit of a base hit. Vance Goddard reached on an error, moved to second on the overthrow and to third on a passed ball. King was hit by a pitch. Goddard scored when Big Red's attempt to pickoff King failed.
Big Red's bats showed some signs of life in the fourth. Lucky McClurg started the inning with a single. He stole second and scampered home on Pat Pizzoferrato's double down the third base line. Ryan Vojvodich made it 3-1 when he unloaded a bomb into the trees behind left field.
Tyler Antinone got Toronto's fourth going when he singled to left. He made it to second via after failed pickoff attempt. Goddard and John Romey were both hit by Petrella pitches to load the bases with no outs. King was safe on another Big Red error, Antinone scoring.
Petrella, to his credit, worked out of the jam, thanks to a pop fly, a strikeout and a stellar play by shortstop Bryan Pierro.
The Knights tied it in the sixth. Spencer Sninchak was safe on an error, swiped second and reached third on a passed ball. He touched the play following Goddard's fly to center.
Toronto took the lead for good with three tallies in the sixth. John Marriner arrived at second thanks to a two-base error. He scampered to third on an infield grounder that produced the second out of the frame. He would score when Tyler Owens was safe thanks to a fielding miscue.
A single by Austin Lucas plated Owens. Sninchek followed with a screaming liner to left, good for a run-producing double.
Big Red wasn't about to go home without a fight. Petrella reached on Toronto's only error of the contest. John Linn walked and both moved up on a pass ball. Evan Westlake's base knock scored Petrella.
Bryan Pierro's fly to left allowed Linn to tag and cross the plate. King then knuckled down and recorded the final two outs.
Even though they were held to three hits, the Red Knights got good metal on the ball all night.
"I talked to the kids about that," Perkins said. "If we keep hitting the ball hard, we can't be upset with that. Eventually they're going to fall and we were fortunate enough tonight to get some runs when the ball did fall.
"We're just real excited to get a victory today."
Toronto is back in action Wednesday, visiting Bridgeport.
Big Red drops to 13-7 with the loss and will host Union Local today.
"Right now we're thinking about ourselves and not Big Red," Heatherington noted. "Until we start thinking about Big Red, we're not going to win anything."
Toronto 6, Big Red 5
Big Red 000 300 2 - 5 5 6
Toronto 010 113 x - 6 3 1
STEUBENVILLE (13-7): Petrella (LP, 2K, 2BB, 3 HBP) and Vojvodich; Vojvodich HR, 2 RBI; Pizzoferrato D, RBI; Westlake 2S; McClurg S; B. Pierro RBI.
TORONTO (13-7): King (WP, 1K, 2BB, 1 HBP) and Solomon; Sninchak D, RBI; Antinone S; Lucas S.

"This is a very nice design that required little alteration from the original sample. I did change the party details from red font to green as the red was a little hard to read and the green helped it stand out a bit better against the black background. I really like the size of these invitations as they won't get lost in the mail and are easy to read. The design was also an easy match for stock Avery address labels so it was simple to create affordable matching labels."
"The paper and printing are excellent quality. All the details about our holiday famly party are printed on the front. After I submitted the order, I realized I forgot to include the details about bringing food to the party. I emailed tiny prints and asked them to add this message to the back. I received an email confirming this detail and this extra message was added to my card."
"invitation is great...a little smaller than I realized, but colorful and fun! I am proud to send them out, and very happy with my order."

Junior musical theater major Alexandra Mendes plays Wendla and sophomore psychology/math major Luke Martin plays Melchior in the SUNY Geneseo production of "Spring Awakening" Jan. 19-21 on the Geneseo campus.
GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's Vocal Miscellany is presenting the first local production of the 2006 Broadway rock musical hit Spring Awakening Jan. 19-21 at 8 p.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium. English Professor Melanie Blood is directing the production with musical direction by Geneseo vocal coach and accompanist Alan Case.
Sexuality, suicide, abuse, and abortion may not seem like the stuff of musicals but Spring Awakening has been wildly popular with young theatergoers. With rock music and lyrics provided by Duncan Sheik and Stephen Sater, the musical has been nearly as controversial as the original Frank Wedekind play of 1891.
"So many college students feel a connection to this musical, which demands that the problems of youth are real and that they be taken seriously," says Blood. "I can't remember the last time I saw so many students audition for a show, and they all knew the music before we started."
Spring Awakening swept the 2007 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, Best Director, and Best Choreography, and many other awards.
Vocal Miscellany is a campus organization that provides expanded performance opportunities for singers at Geneseo. The cast features junior musical theater major Alexandra Mendes in the role of Wendla (originally created by Glee star Lea Michele), whose ignorance of her own sexuality leads to her pregnancy, and sophomore musical theater major Elyssa Ramirez as Ilse, a girl who runs away from an abusive family situation.
Sophomore psychology and mathematics major Luke Martin portrays Melchior, a teenager rebelling against the educational and religious restrictions of his 1890s provincial German town, and junior history major Josh Horowitz portrays Moritz, whose failure at school and unsupportive family lead him to suicide.
In spite of the darkly emotional subject matter, the musical provides many fun and uplifting moments as cast members break into songs about handling their emerging sexuality, idolizing their crushes, or rebelling against their restrictive schoolmaster.
Tickets for the production are $10 and are available online or by phoning (585) 245-5877. Language and subject matter are for mature audiences only.

Probably off of wall current, Razor, which I could easily do, too.The point of this exercise, though, is charging the batteries when wall current is unavailable.
In the 1970s many people began to desire a self-sufficient life-style. Solar cells were too expensive for small-scale electrical generation, so some turned to windmills. At first they built ad-hoc designs using wood and automobile parts. Most people discovered that a reliable wind generator is a moderately complex engineering project, well beyond the ability of most romantics. Some began to search for and rebuild farm wind generators from the 1930s, of which Jacobs Wind Electric Company machines were especially sought after. Hundreds of Jacobs machines were reconditioned and sold during the 1970
Thanks, folks. This guy may offer a solution. Anybody want to do a sanity check on what he says?http://www.fridge-and-solar.net/gen_charge.htm
Here's a possible candidate for a battery charger:http://www.iotaengineering.com/pplib/dls90spec.pdf
Just to see if I am getting the basic principles right:1. If my battery bank is 600 Amp Hours2. And I don't want it to go below 50%, or 300 Amp Hours3. Then I would want to be able to charge 300 Amp Hours as cheaply as possible
4. So I could hook up a 30 Amp AC-DC 12 volt battery charger
5. To a gasoline generator/inverter outputting 1000 watts AC
6. And add 300 Amp Hours of charge to the battery bank over a period of 10 hours of genny operation?
No, it won't work. Your 1000 watt inverter will not run a 30 amp charger, no matter what the math says. It might run 8 amps, it won't run 10 amps.
What about this one, Suburban?http://www.progressiverc.com/media/PM3Manual.pdfhttp://www.progressiverc.com/powermax-pm3-45.html

Information on Swine Influenza/Variant Influenza Viruses
Swine influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Influenza viruses that commonly circulate in swine are called "swine influenza viruses" or "swine flu viruses." Like human influenza viruses, there are different subtypes and strains of swine influenza viruses. The main swine influenza viruses circulating in U.S. pigs in recent years are:
- swine triple reassortant (tr) H1N1 influenza virus
- trH3N2 virus
- trH1N2 virus
Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans. However, sporadic human infections with swine influenza viruses have occurred. When this happens, these viruses are called "variant viruses." They also can be denoted by adding the letter "v" to the end of the virus subtype designation. Human infections with H1N1v, H3N2v and H1N2v viruses have been detected in the United States.
The links below offer key information for different audiences about swine influenza in pigs and variant influenza virus infections in humans.

Makita's new BHP454 is re-engineered for 25% more speed
AUGUST 6, 2008 La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high quality industrial power tools and accessories, is proud to announce the release of its new 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Hammer Driver-Drill Kit, model BHP454. The new cordless hammer driver-drill adds to Makita's extensive LXT Series of cordless tools featuring 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery Technology, a breakthrough in cordless that delivers more power, less weight and better engineering. The new BHP454 combines high torque and high speed in a compact cordless package with less weight.
"Makita's engineers built the new BHP454 faster, with 25 percent more speed in low gear than our previous model," said Ethan Haughawout, associate product manager – cordless products. "We added more speed, but still maintained our maximum torque of 560 inch-pounds. This high-speed and high-torque combination makes the new BHP454 a true work-horse hammer driver-drill for any serious tradesman."
The Makita-built 4-pole maximum torque motor delivers 560 in. lbs. of efficient torque. The efficient two-speed design offers plenty of speed (0-400/0-1,700 RPM) and blows-per-minute (0-6,000/0-25,500) for a wide range of drilling, driving and hammering tasks.
The BHP454 comes with a patented Shift-Lock™ drive system that quickly shifts between three modes: "hammer drill", "driver" and "drill." Its 2-speed design covers a wide range of drilling and driving applications, allowing the user to carry one tool on the job instead of two. The versatile BHP454 is a great replacement for the standard driver-drill on the job site.
At only 4.9 lbs. and with an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove, the BHP454 is compact with less weight, and is designed for reduced operator fatigue. The BHP454 is also equipped with a built-in twin L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area for more efficient work, single sleeve ½" keyless chuck, a convenient belt clip and bit holder, and an anti-slip rubberized side grip.
Some of this tool's many applications include fastening medium sized anchors, drilling into masonry, and even setting small sized anchors into concrete. This hammer driver-drill can be utilized in many different areas such as HVAC, residential construction, remodeling, woodworking, plumbing, electrical, and more. It's ideal for any pro contractor who requires a best-in-class engineered cordless hammer driver-drill.
The BHP454 is powered by Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology and Rapid Optimum Charging System, a breakthrough in cordless technology producing 430% total lifetime work with two-and-a-half times more battery cycles when compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries. The Rapid Optimum Charger is ENERGY STAR rated for its charging efficiency, and will charge a Makita 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes.
Model BHP454 is a kit that includes two 18V LXT Lithium-ion (3.0 Ah) batteries, 30 minute Rapid Optimum Charger, belt clip, side-handle, depth gauge, 2 double-ended bits (Phillips and slotted) and tool case. The BHP454Z includes the tool only.
Since its introduction on October 3, 2005, Makita's LXT Series featuring 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology has been providing the professional end-user with more work solutions. Nearly three years later, with 30 single tool solutions in the LXT Series, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery is a breakthrough in cordless with more power, less weight and better engineering, and Makita is proud to be the first to bring it to jobsites across America.
"Makita did not just design a longer run time battery; we designed a complete tool solution to redefine the way pro users work," said Ken Hefley, senior vice president marketing, Makita USA. "The LXT solution is all muscle and no fat, with 18 volt power at 12 volt weight. LXT allows the pro user to work longer with a better engineered tool solution."
Makita\'s new LXT Series has been designed specifically for Lithium-Ion battery technology with less weight in a more compact size. LXT is 40% less weight and more compact. The ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure while adding more control. The LXT Series is also equipped with built-in L.E.D. lights that operate independently from the tool to illuminate the work area.
Makita LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries and Optimum Charging System produce 430% total lifetime work with two-and-a-half times more battery cycles when compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries. The Optimum Charging System is ENERGY STAR rated for its efficient charging process. Makita\'s LXT Lithium-Ion batteries provide the pro user with many benefits, including 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, 40% less weight, five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use any time, a built-in memory chip to communicate with the Optimum Charger for more work, built-in shock absorbing features to protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals for constant high power. The battery works in conjunction with the Optimum Charger during the charging process for a more efficient charge and maximum battery life.
The new Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the LXT battery throughout the charge cycle using the built-in memory chip in the battery and the built-in CPU chip in the charger to recognize the history and battery condition to select the optimal charging method. The optimal charging method uses Active 3 Controls for current control, thermal control and voltage control. The charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work.
Makita has better technology with a new smart Battery Diagnostic System (sold separately) that enables users to understand the battery condition to maximize battery life. This new system is ideal for large pro and industrial users with many batteries. This system is able to indicate how the battery was used and can optimally refresh each cell for more lifetime work, determine the battery life expectancy based on how many times the battery has been charged or gone through a cycle and can log each battery to keep a permanent record.
Makita has also added compact cordless power tools to its line of Lithium-Ion products, and they are unique in both appearance and performance: The 18V Compact Lithium-Ion (1.5Ah) battery weighs just .85 lbs. and reaches a full charge in only 15 minutes, four times faster than the competition. The compact battery combined with the compact design of the tools delivers a superior power-to-weight ratio. These compact tools – including the ½" Compact Driver Drill (BDF452HW) – feature a new black and white exterior design, distinguishing these compact cordless models from Makita's familiar teal-colored top-of-the-line cordless product in the LXT Series.
Makita's newest compact products are powered by a 10.8V Lithium-Ion battery. These lower-voltage products clearly have a place in Makita's series of Lithium-Ion cordless tools.
"Makita's Lithium-Ion platform is not solely focused on 18V power, as evidenced by the recent launch of our 10.8V Lithium-Ion ultra-compact tools," said Brad Wheeler, product manager – cordless products. "Makita applies power, precision and compact design to every tool it makes, and these same qualities have been built into the new 10.8V Lithium-Ion 2-speed driver-drill and impact driver. These ultra-compact tools have been engineered for trades that require professional power and quality in a convenient size."
The new 10.8V products fill a need for Lithium-Ion battery power in an ultra-compact size. They are positioned as a first step into the Lithium-Ion battery platform from older battery technologies.
"For those pros using 9.6 and 12 volt tools every day - and there are many of them - Makita's new ultra-compact 10.8V Lithium-Ion line of tools is a great way to step into Makita and into the superior advantages of Makita Lithium-Ion power." said Wheeler. "These tools come in handy for so many lighter duty jobs out there. Every tool box should have one."

Here, students are prepared to embark on a life of inquiry and discovery, creativity, and analytical thinking; the expectation is that Goucher graduates will go on to make a positive difference in the world. At Goucher College, we are known for our academic rigor, our never-ending curiosity about the world around us; and the high caliber of our faculty, students, and staff. Goucher students are able to put their learning into action through collaborative research in the natural sciences, guest residencies of renowned professors, service-learning programs that support local communities, unique internships, and international study. Building on these strengths, our vision for a liberal arts education grows from the understanding that in the 21st century, every academic inquiry and intellectual endeavor has a global context. In all of our 18 undergraduate departments, we encourage our students to explore their intellectual interests in ways that transcend the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Goucher's well-known study-abroad requirement - which comes with a great deal of curricular flexibility and a $1,200 stipend to help defray travel costs - is just one of the college's distinctive assets. Another is its soon-to-open Athenaeum: Part high-tech library, part public forum, part art gallery, part café, and many other parts, this new flagship building at the center of campus is "all Goucher." The Athenaeum assumes an integrated, harmonious place within a pedestrian-friendly, architecturally unified campus. The numerous, world-class lecturers who visit this beautiful campus every year give our students the opportunity to step up and ask important questions of important people. The college's environmental initiatives, both curricular and extracurricular, have derived much of their direction and momentum from the suggestions and activities of our students. And Goucher's greatest strength may well be its abiding sense of community—at once expansive and inclusive. For 125 years, Goucher has served a bright, bold, and motivated student population. Numbering some 1,400 undergraduates and representing 43 states and 10 countries, our students arrive at Goucher prepared to excel academically and eager to take advantage of the many resources offered on campus and in nearby Baltimore and Washington, DC.

#2. We Kiss to Get Close Enough to Detect Pheromones
In this article, we explained the theory that kissing evolved as a way for women to expose themselves to cytomegalovirus so their future babies wouldn't get hit with a herpesesque disease in the womb. And man, is that the most unromantic explanation for kissing EVER. The good news is that there are other, less awful theories about smooching out there. One is that we've all got a secret sex nerve in our brains that compels us to swap spit.
"My nose is telling me it's time to tongue your face-hole."
But first, some background. Everyone has 12 pairs of nerves jutting out of the brainstem, appropriately named Nerve I through Nerve XII. And most of them are regular sensory nerves, like the olfactory one and the optic one and the one that helps us see the dead. But in 1913, scientists discovered another nerve that everyone had missed before. "Nerve 0" (or, as we like to call it, Nerve Oooooh) sits at the base of our skulls, seemingly useless, like a third testicle on an already sterile old man. So it's not surprising that everyone kind of forgot about it.
Although that doesn't make them shut up about it at parties.
So when scientists finally got around to figuring out what this nerve did, they discovered something funny. Even though it looked like an olfactory nerve, it was present in creatures that had long ago lost their sense of scent. Which means it must have some purpose in humans (and all other animals) besides making public transportation unpleasant. Shortly thereafter, scientists discovered that cutting this nerve caused mice to stop breeding.
It turns out Nerve 0 is directly connected to the regions of the brain associated with sex and gives your nose a direct, private highway to your genitals. Well, that's interesting. What could that be for?
Stop having sex with those flowers and we'll tell you.
Scientists theorize that when you kiss someone, Nerve 0 picks up their pheromones and warns your body to start sending blood and good vibes down to your crotch as quickly as possible. It's important to note that Nerve 0 doesn't travel through your olfactory bulb at all, which means you can't actually smell any of the things your sex nerve is designed to pick up. And since our pheromones don't carry very well, getting close enough to kiss is basically the only way your Boning Nerve can do you any good.
And what kind of things does your brain learn by picking up pheromones this way? For one thing, it allows you to sneak a peek at your lover's immune system. People you're attracted to will tend to have been exposed to very different antibodies over the course of their lifetimes. This ensures that you have a lower chance of miscarriages and a higher chance of birthing superbabies with badass immune systems. It also stops you from finding your relatives sexually viable, so let's give it a round of applause for preventing a lot of awkward family reunions.
#1. Big Boobs Exist Thanks to the Missionary Position
Here's a question we bet you never asked yourself: Why do guys prefer big breasts? Don't say it's because it signals that a woman is more capable of nursing -- huge boobs serve no practical purpose for the delivery of milk. Well, according to one theory, it has to do with our ancestors preferring face-to-face sex.
"I call them 'shock absorbers.'"
The humble "missionary position" has the unfair reputation of being the boring option for couples too tired to try anything too crazy. But out in the animal kingdom, that position is crazy -- face-to-face sex is something of a revelation for mammals. Our ape ancestors preferred a much less ... frontal method. But the pair bonding that occurs when couples look each other in the eye while doin' it is beneficial enough to humanity that evolution favored people who had face-first sex.
Also our heads were getting much larger during this time, and that shit gets heavy.
In The Naked Ape, British zoologist and ethologist Desmond Morris proposed that the social benefits to our ancestors who liked missionary-style sex were great enough that evolution favored frontal features that mirrored the backside. Namely, giant breasts that mimic the bulbous buttocks of our great-to-the-power-of-500 grandmas. As Desmond put it:
"The protuberant, hemispherical breasts of the female must surely be copies of the fleshy buttocks, and the sharply defined red lips around the mouth must be copies of the red labia."
The first time he shopped at the greengrocers, he had to lie down in a dark room for three days.
Of course, Desmond, they must be. And that means that big breasts exist purely to compel attention. In other words, evolution masterminded the single most successful advertising campaign in world history.

5 Ridiculous Attempts at Crime Fighting (That Worked)
#2. Bank Robber vs. Crack Dealer
Harry G. Wilson was all about crack: He used crack, he sold crack, he had an official Crack Fan Club Decoder Ring (free with 40 crack-bags and proof of purchase). Hell, he's such a fan he's probably reading Cracked right now (hi, Harry!). So it comes as no surprise that, on January 23, 2008, Harry was out selling crack at his usual spot at the New Orleans hotel. One of his regulars, displaying the remarkable foresight emblematic of crack enthusiasts, went all the way down to his local drug dealer without any cash. So Harry, being the understanding crack-gentleman that he is, agreed to follow his client to the local bank so they could make a "withdrawal."
Harry did not see, or understand those suggestive quote marks.
The two men went to the Bank of Louisiana, where the client handed the teller a note demanding money. Harry was aghast. This was simply unacceptable; he may be a crackhead and drug pusher, but Harry G. Wilson is no criminal. He initially tried to warn the fellow off, but that didn't work, and so he resorted to the only option left to a gentleman: The flying dive tackle.
The robber escaped but, in the scuffle, dropped his wallet on the floor. The police would later use it to track him down and arrest him. So what happened to Harry? A tearful "thank you" from the shaken teller? A medal of valor? Key to the city maybe? Nope: He was immediately arrested on the scene. Oh, not for being an accomplice to the robbery attempt--everybody agreed he saved the day--but because they found crack on his person. Actually, "all up in his person" would be more appropriate: They found it in his pants, in his pockets, even his mouth. Harry was a veritable ghetto pinata--just absolutely stuffed to bursting with his beloved crack cocaine.
Harry protested the arrest, adamantly insisting to everyone in earshot that it was cool, those little rocks aren't C-4 or anything shady--it's just crack. And speaking of, would anybody like to buy some crack? Because man, it's great. Nothing to take the edge off an attempted robbery like good ol' crack. And why were these handcuffs still on him? It's real crack, not counterfeit or anything. What's the deal here?
And now, it's time for the big boys. After all, ridiculous crime intervention isn't just for the small-timers...
#1. The 70s Paris Hilton vs. President of the United States of America
Martha Mitchell's husband, John Mitchell, was the Attorney General during the Nixon administration. With her elite status and time on her hands, she became a beloved socialite, most well known for her parties and airheaded, ill-conceived, off-the-cuff comments. She was firmly in the Paris Hilton mold and as such, the press lapped up her every word.
But in 1971, John Mitchell resigned his position to head the newly formed Committee to Re-Elect the President, also known by the unfortunate acronym, CReeP. Hey, say what you want about the Nixon administration; they were pretty upfront about their cartoonish villainy.
And the rest, well, that's common knowledge...
But for the benefit of those of us who attended public school: Five men were arrested in a burglary attempt at the Democratic National Convention headquarters at the Watergate hotel. They had wiretapping equipment on them, and the reason for the break-in appeared obvious, but no one was talking. An examination of the burglar's bank accounts led to CreeP, who found it hard to believably protest their innocence when their whole organization sounds like a villain from Captain Planet.
Nixon was this close to getting away with the whole thing (by letting the blame fall on Mitchell) when Martha started making phone calls, spilling the beans to anybody who would listen. Eventually, her persistence would lead two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, to check out her allegations, eventually leading to Nixon's impeachment.
And that's the story of how the 1970s equivalent of Paris Hilton brought down the President of the Entire Goddamn United States of America.

Buca left Omaha years ago. I miss it. It was the place I took my wife on our first date and the place I took her the night I proposed to her.
Their chicken piccata and garlic bread were amazing. I just wish there were still here so we could go back for our 10 year anniversary.
Their food is 'average' at best. Most of their small sizes are just under $20. Their large are around $35. Without a coupon this place is a total rip off. I am not paying $40 for pasta.
But... they have coupons pretty much 365, if you sign up for their mailing list. I (hate to admit it) frequent them often. Their drinks are surprisingly cheap.
I've never been so happy to see an entree price go up. The not-to-be-missed "Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken" is now $20.99 in my area so I can get it with the coupon now!
