- Care & Cleaning
Print The nylon fabric will initially repel water. However, if nylon is exposed to water for any length of time, it will darken momentarily due to some water absorption. Should this occur, blot with a dry white or light colored cloth and allow it to dry completely.
For simple spot cleaning, use a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water (sodium-free seltzer water may be substituted) and a mild bar soap, applied in a circular motion. Repeat with distilled water only to ensure no residual soap remains. The fabric should then be allowed to dry completely.
Oily spots should first be wiped free of excess liquid. Talcum powder is then sprinkled on the area and allowed to sit briefly. Using a dry toothbrush, gently brush the powder away to alleviate the soil.
No creams, polishes, cleansers, or leather conditioning products should be used on the trim and handles.

Byron Dragway's 18th Annual World Power Wheelstand ChampionshipsWritten by on September 3, 2013
Sixty large. That's the total purse for the Wheelstand Championships, and everyone on the bumper at the show is gunning for it.
The first Sunday in October, Byron promoter Ron Leek puts down the cash for categories like Longest, Weirdest, and Most Violent Wheelstand. And the competitors usually need it. They break a lot of parts. Professional wheelstanding cars are outlawed, so it's regular guys reaching for the sky. Check out the photos from the show, and see it in person at Byron Dragway in Byron, Illinois.
See It!
Byron Dragway; Byron IL.

Ricky Kirkpatrick grabbed $5,000 for Second in Best Overall Wheelstand as he dragged the bumper 420 feet after taking out the 330-foot marker and coming down hard enough to crush the headers and bend the frame. The crowd loved it, and they do the voting.Brian Ambrosini is always the favorite at the show. His 401-powered '74 Gremlin is dialed in to do long, steady wheelies. This year, the performance was too nice, putting him Third in the Best Wheelstand category.

We Tried It: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner
This stuff isn't going anywhere. No, really, it won't come off
Stepping out of my black and brown comfort zone, I tested the new liner in Cuff -- a bold shimmery silver. After a morning meeting, I threw on the liner and honestly forgot about it once my schedule picked up. Next thing you know ... it's 4 o'clock and I'm rubbing my screen-fried eyes. Mirror check: this liner was completely intact and looked as sharp and bright as it did in the a.m.
This liner lives up to its promises: creamy, forever-lasting and waterproof. I even tried to rub it off and hit it with a bit of water, but this steadfast liner didn't budge. Since it comes in 12 different shades, I'm officially putting my blacks and browns aside for the summer and experimenting with my favorite colors in the bunch: purple and silver.

Assuming you have an unfair die where the probabiity of rolling a certain number is defined as follows: $$ \begin{array}\\ \text{Die Face} & 1 &2&3&4&5&6\\ \hline\\ \text{Probability} & .05 &.2 & .1 &.2 &.3 & .15 \end{array} $$ Find the probability that we roll an even number followed by an odd number.
I would think this is a conditional probability question, however, in the solutions it simply said that rolling an odd number first and rolling an even number second are two events $A$ and $B$ respectively, and then by independence said: $P(A)=.05+.1+.3=.45$ and $P(B)=.2+.2+.15=.55$ and $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)=(.45)(.55)=.248$. When I worked this out first I thought this would be done by conditional probability. Why would my reasoning be wrong here? And why can we solve this problem like this?

I have noticed discrepancies in how native Mandarin speakers spell certain words in Pinyin reflecting differences in pronunciation, for instance, pángbiān vs. pángbian and zǎoshang vs. zǎoshàng. I've been told that these reflect differences across dialects. I even find these discrepancies across dictionaries, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source for standard Pinyin spellings.

Note that sometimes the transcription reflects the actual reading rather than the "single-character-pinyin".
For example, 你好 is sometimes transcribed as ní hăo, even if the "actual" transcription per-character would actually be nǐ hăo. This happens because when two third tones are next to each other, the first one becomes a second tone (when reading/pronouncing the characters, not when writing).
In other cases there is a totall loss of the tone, such as in 窗户 (window) transcribed — and read — as chuāng hu1, rather than chuāng hù.
1: The source is the CEDICT dictionary.
When the tone that's written doesn't match what tone you'd expect to see that indicates that the transcription is meant to match the pronunciation. For example, the book "Modern Chinese Grammar" by Claudia Ross and Jing-heng Sheng Ma writes third tones as second tones when tone sandhi occurs. Other references do not necessarily do this.
What is more consistently done is omitting the tone mark when that syllable loses its tone in common use. Here, you will run into differences between regions; for example in Taiwan Mandarin speakers often keep the tone on a word's second syllable whereas in mainland China Mandarin speakers more often omit that tone.
Considering that the point of Pinyin is to show the pronunciation, it makes sense to leave off tones that are not pronounced. As for "standard pinyin spelling", looking up an individual character should give you its pronunciations with tone(s).

Minding Our Selves: How Body Becomes Soul
We also have relationships with our bodies, in a sense. Our bodies are constantly sending us signals about their state: whether we are tense or relaxed, energetic or fatigued, fit or falling apart. A common problem with sedentary occupations such as trading (and a common problem as people become older) is that they stop taking care of their bodies and focus on more "practical" things, like making money, raising children, and keeping up a home.
Over time, a divergence develops: the mind is trying to stay sharp and the person is trying to stay focused, energetic, and motivated, and the body is sending a completely contrary set of signals. It is very difficult to stay at the top of one's game if the other side in our mind/body relationship is sending frequent signals of exhaustion or deconditioning.
I see this often among traders--and too often in myself: neglecting the body and then not having enough fuel in the tank to sustain a crucial piece of motivation or optimism that could lead to that good career decision, that extra effort that gets noticed, or that one good trade after a couple of losers.
If our bodies are mirrors to our selves, what experience of your self are you living with and internalizing each day? A promising strategy for working on the mind might just be minding the body.

A state of fitness is essential in developing and maintaining mental and emotional stamina.
However, keeping fit is challenging. When young, not much is required for fitness. As we age, we need to make an effort to keep and maintain fitness.
The only way that works for me is to do heavy duty gardening (no electric helpers) for about 6-8 hrs daily (before the market opens my time in France). The only way at my age by which I am willing to exert energy is when I am doing something I enjoy, and I have an insatiable appetite for gardening.
My husband, with whom I have to make an appointment for him to do the occasional heavy lifting in the garden because he hates gardening so, keeps fit by walking about 3-5 miles daily just by doing chores (sans car).
Just like we need to find our niche in trading, we need to do that in exercising. Everyone is different and what is essential is to find something that you love and you will fit it into your routine.

I find it's the other way around: taking good care of the mind will automatically reflect in taking care of the body. If you neglect your physical aspects, you can be sure there is something wrong on the mental / spiritual level.
The physical is the effect.
The mental is the cause.

Brett ~
There is a large body of credible scientific literature showing causality between increased frequency of strenuous physical activity and reduction of the biochemical markers indicative of stress and depression.
For this reason alone, because of stress and potential episodic depression associated with our profession, it is easy to see that benefit can be derived from regular rigorous bouts in the gym or miles pounded out along roads.
Intense, frequent physical activity lowers one's resting heart rate over time. Elevated heart rate is a symptom of both emotional and physical stress. Regular exercise reduces the time it takes for one's elevated heart rate, whether due to physical or emotional stress, to return the resting rate.
A well-designed course of physical exercise, combining aerobic and anaerobic activity provokes neovascularization. That is, the growth of new capillaries in the muscles being worked, resulting in overall improved, efficient blood circulation to parts of the body previously served less well.
There is a significant body of scientific literature correlating one's ability to concentrate on a task for long periods of time with physical fitness. These studies cover the gamut from rats, to primates, to humans ~ including fighter pilots, whose cockpit work environment is similar in relevant ways to trading.
Speaking personally:
During the past eight years, I have come to view my daily workouts as part of my work as a trader, not something separate that gets fit in if possible. I have experienced all the benefits described above.
Some years ago, a diagnosis required bouts of hard-core chemical therapy. Physicians told me my ability to deal with side effects and reach full recovery was directly related to a high level of fitness.
At nearly 60 years old, and in the ninth decile of cardiac health, I am married to a woman 20 years younger. Marital "happiness" is sustained by remaining fit.
I'm in the gym five mornings a week before market open. Three days a week, I work with a coach, a former career combat officer and martial arts champion now my own age. I once asked how many sit-ups he does. His reply, "I start counting when it starts hurting."
Most highly recommended.
Adam Sterling.

Not sure if you shared the following information before. If you don't mind sharing, what constants do you use for your weekly SPY price targets? How do you determine the constants in general (for other stocks or markets)?
Thanks in advance.
- Michele said...
Another great post and a great reminder.
I really liked Adam's comment too:
"I have come to view my daily workouts as part of my work as a trader"
That's a great way to think of it. Now, every day when the market closes, I get my dog and we go out for a brisk half hour walk, rain or shine.
It gives me an excuse to get out and be active and it's good for her too. I started doing this a few months ago and I already definitely feel better.

I'm interested in your notes and the 2 comments so far. And ever since you have posted your end of blog, I have been thinking about what question I would ask. This post brings to mind my larger question. You have mentioned several times that high performance people seem more "plugged in" than others. In follow up posts like these you are gently pushing your readers to be more involved and plugged in to each aspect of life for maximum performance AND joy. So the question relates to the cycle of personal sustainability in keeping this focus and energy.
The news is filled with fallen heroes, and the trading literature is replete with blown up supertraders. So if the goal is a happy and fulfilled life, I suppose the balance must be found by each person for themselves. But holding that edge of maximizing performance while retaining balance is what makes a genius and losing the balance equals destruction. Since all performance faces defeat and overcomes, the exhaustion of that faculty seems to lead to downfall unless purposeful refuelling takes place. I remember in the Fountainhead how Roark "loafed like an expert" after a long project. The balance of rest was required after an all out effort.
In my own life I have had years of performance in various areas followed by periods of laziness. It is only lately that I'm seeing that this "laziness" which made me feel guilty at times, was actually the foundation period for the next period of performance. So what is the balance there among the best traders and performers in your view? How are longer and shorter breaks to be taken to make sure the edge does not grow dull? If levels of engagement wane, is it a sign to take a break or renew your effort to engage? And in the end, is it not better to take some time off regularly rather than face the burnout and destruction many at the top seem to face? Or is this simply rationalizing sloth?
As many have said, your blog has been very important to me and my trading. Much more so than any of the technical analysis or news blogs out there. You have truly given us your best, and in turn I wish you the best in your new career.
- Jim said...
Hi Dr Brett,
I saw Michael's mention of you shutting down the blog over at MarketSci. Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed and benefited from your blog over the past 2 or 3 years, although I haven't visited for a while.
On topic re this post, I am in my 70th year, vigorous, active and in good health (thank God). I have never been an "intentional" exerciser, but have long realized I should be. This year I came across a comment on the PaNu blog posted by a guy who had recovered from type2 diabetes via diet and exercise. PaNu is a MD's blog on eating in congruence with our evolutionary metabolic milieu, not some fanciful recreation of duplicating our pre-agricultural ancestors' lives.
The exercise component of the comment referred to a work by another MD and an exercise expert entitled "Body by Science". The writer didn't like intentional exercise either, and referenced being able to increase strength and fitness in 12 minutes per week. I know, too good to be true. But I checked out the BBS website, bought the method book, started exercising Feb 1, and am totally pleased with the progress I have made in strength and fitness.
I have six acres to maintain, and used to dread the amount of work it took each spring, and how exhausted and sore it made me, to get the place 'up to snuff'. This year has been much better.
Best to you down the road, Dr Brett. A final thought: the Standard American Diet (SAD)kills, as you can see by looking around. Human ancestors were all hunter-gatherers, and none suffered from the Diseases of Civilization.
I am indifferent as to whether you post this comment, but wanted to share its content with you.

I bet. That definitely ain't supposed to be there! Good eyes too, I don't think I would have even noticed it with my eyes . And probably would have taken a decade to figure out actual problem. You must be loading pretty hot, or right on the edge. But seeing how it shoots, I wouldn't change a thing! Nice.
This was what baffled me during my load development because it only happened intermittently.
Posted 09 May 2012 - 03:55 AM
Posted 09 May 2012 - 05:00 AM
That is a classic sign of pressure getting up there - stiff bolt lift. It leaves those scrape marks.Usually a tight neck isn't a problem on factory produced rifles...but can be on a custom, where you can specify one if you like. If the neck are not turned to match they really clamp down on a chambered bullet and won't let go till the pressure really gets up there. If the difference is much more than you experienced bad things happen.
Tawnoper, The scraping was from the sharp edge of the ejector hole. The corner edge of the ejector hole get really sharp when Jim squares a bolt face.

One thing about Gruning rifles. It will shoot no matter what you feed them. This last range trip I shot 4 different load starting from 40.9, 41.2, 41.5 and 41.7 and they all clustered together.4 shots @110 yards3 shots5 shots @ 110 yards
But seeing how it shoots, I wouldn't change a thing! Nice.

Squeezing every ounce of Accuracy in a rifle take a lot of tedious work. The following illustration are some of the process.First is the use of a neck sizer die like the one on the picture to size the neck just enough just to hold the bullet.Then make sure the loaded cartridge will have no more than .002" out of round
I know a ton of effort goes into the science of your shooting, and it shows.

Yeah, because that's the easy part :smiley-outta-here:I couldn't imagine if reloading shotgun took that much effort!!! I'd probably never hunt again . That must be really nice living right down the road from WEGC though. I know it sure has to help for load development
I do these so that when it's my turn to shoot, all I have to worry is wind and my nerve.
Posted 15 May 2012 - 07:42 PM
5 shot group @110 yards
3 shot prone using bipod to check if there is any zero shift. There's no change in POI. I attribute that to the stability of the AI stock. The rifle is ready! Not sure about the shooter however.

Nice groups, Is the butt of the rifle in your shoulder when you shoot?
Your mean free recoil shooting? If so, then the answer is no. I don't do Benchrest.
Posted 01 August 2012 - 06:32 PM
Posted 01 August 2012 - 07:33 PM
I do like heavy guns. They're very forgiving and very stable to shoot. I've hunted with my 300 Win Mag Model 70 Laredo for a long time and it weigh a tad over twelve lbs.

From Blu-ray.com
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced Scarface for Blu-ray release on September 6. Considered one of the most influential gangster films ever made, Brian De Palma's film has been "newly-restored" and will be presented with 7.1 audio for the first time. It will come in a limited-edition BD with SteelBook packaging, ten exclusive art cards, a digital copy of the film and a DVD of the original 1932 Scarface. The studio is also holding a national Scarface fan art contest.
Additionally, for the ultimate collector and cigar enthusiast, a hand-crafted Scarface-themed humidor will be made available in an exclusive, never-before-available, limited gift set edition. Created by the renowned Daniel Marshall, the humidor's exterior is hand painted and polished with the Marshall's trademark "1000 coat brilliant finish." The interior – made with untreated Spanish cedar – will properly condition and age approximately 100 cigars at optimal humidity levels. Limited to 1,000 worldwide and priced at $999.99, each individually numbered humidor comes embellished with custom medallions inspired by the iconic film and includes a certificate of authenticity.
I'm not too gone on the flick myself, but I'm sure there will be a few excited people out there.

The CryogenX treatment is a tempering process that deep freezes these high-carbonsteel blades to -300 degrees F. Innovative "grooves" have been added to the comb portion to allow for more heat dispersion. The end result is that not only do they start out sharp, they stay sharper longer, requiring less sharpening than conventional blades. These have a Rockwell Hardness Rating of 62. Compatible with all Oster, Andis, Conair and Wahl A5 Type detachable blade clippers. Try them and you will see the difference.

text: The devil Hello Kitty did surprising well, but then again doesn't all the tutorials on her get a lot of attention? I decided that I should do the opposite to the devil version of Hello Kitty and show you "how to draw angel Hello Kitty", step by step. What I like about this version of Kitty is how she looks insanely innocent while looking the same. The only that that is different about her is the style of dress, the addition of wings, and her golden halo. Of course she manages to keep her bow as usually because if she didn't, Hello Kitty wouldn't look like herself at all. The best part about this version of Kitty is how easy she is going to be to draw. I know you will have a blast as you begin drawing angel Hello Kitty, as I did making her. Well that's all folks, I have to fly out of here so I can get the other lessons uploaded. Peace out and enjoy!

Lets say we have a character wearing both an armor and shield with the light fortification special ability. If this character is critically hit, are percentile dice rolled twice to negate the critical hit? I'm unsure how the stacking rule comes in to play in this case.

No, they do not stack
You'd get a single 25% chance to negate the critical; the critical section in the stacking rules text is:
So much like any other granted ability, they will not stack as they are providing the same bonus for the same effect (critical negation) from the same source. Therefore only the highest bonus would be used.
On a mechanical note it would be much more cost effective to take two +1 items with 25% chance each (net 44% chance, 2k cost) of failing than forking out for a much more expensive +3 item (75%, 9k cost) so there's another reason to say no!
No, they don't stack
In 3.5, any sort of benefit from the same source or from two sources with the same name never stacks. This is why, for example, the Monk AC bonus does not stack with the Swordsage AC bonus - despite coming from two different sources and having subtly different rules text, they're both named 'AC bonus' and as a result do not stack. You might be able to argue a RAW case for different 'weights' of Fortification stacking, but I don't think there's a DM on earth that wouldn't slap you with the book so fast it'd make a sonic boom if you tried it.
In any event, there's easier and cheaper ways to protect oneself from critical hits and sneak attacks, if such is your goal.
Fortification is not a bonus that is subject to the stacking rules - it is a magical effect and the rule here is that the most potent of overlapping magical effects prevails.
I think some confusion has come up (including in previous versions of my answer) becuase fortification is given an enhancement bonus equivalent (+1, +3 or +5 for light, moderate and heavy respecively) but this is purely for determining costs, caster level to create etc.
Another source of confusion is how enhancement bonus work with respect to armour and shields. One way of thinking of this is that enhancement bonuses enhance another type of bonus and don't apply directly themselves. So enhancement to strength do not stack but they would not interfere with enhancements to dexterity (or armour or shields etc). Magic Armour has an enhancement to its armour bonus and a magic shield has an enhancement to its shield bonus - since armour bonuses and shield bonuses are differant, the enhanced bonus of each are added to get the AC.
Effects like fortification do not follow the rules for bonuses stacking.
And the reason is pretty simple: they're not a bonus! The section you link to is part of a larger section on modifiers, which opens with this text:
The effect of fortification does not fall into such a category. It is closer to something like concealment, which causes attacks to have a 20% miss chance. Concealment doesn't stack because the rules explicitly say so, but there's no such clause for fortification.
There are rules for combining magical effects, but annoyingly I don't think any of the specific clauses are relevant here. In any case, you could definitely argue that they apply only to spells in any case. Fortification doesn't even function like a particular spell (the enchantment is created by a limited wish or miracle) -- and warforged actually have it as an (Ex) racial trait.
Examining the rules carefully, I'm forced to conclude that yes, they do stack, simply because there are no rules saying that they don't. However, because almost all similar cases do have rules preventing stacking, you might infer that this was an oversight and not the intent.

What are Jewish conventions regarding honeymoons? Is a honeymoon taken, and, if so, is it done immediately after the wedding--or later, once the woman is again tehora?

There is no sanctioned "vacation" in Judaism or Jewish weddings. The whole concept appears to be a "new invention" even in Christian Society.
However, "honeymoon" periods do exist.
Firstly, there is the week of sheva brachot, where all meals are supposed to be joyous and glad with many members from the community. There is also a custom to invite people who could not make it to the wedding.
After the week of Sheva Brachot, there is also a concept known as "Shana Rishona" Or "The first year". During the first year of marriage, the couple, if possible should never spend a night apart. They should not invite guests for Shabbat, and A soldier should not go to war. Over the generations, other customs have grown out of "Shanna Rishona"
As for the aspect of being Tahor I have seen various customs on the issue, some of which arguably go against halacha.
One custom I have heard of is that after the first night of marriage, the couple does not consummate the marriage, so that they may touch each other during the week of Sheva brachot, and only once the stress has been reduced, and family is gone, and "life is normal" do they sleep together. As far as I am aware, this is a common custom, yet not approved by anybody.
Another custom is to have a 'honeymoon' on the evening of the wedding, where the bride and grooom will spend the evening in a fancy hotel, and they will spend the first day together before getting involved with the family and friends for the sheva brachot.
Another custom I have seen, is to take a "honeymoon" months after the wedding, waiting for a good time in the calendar where they can have a long weekend together and go away.
The modern custom of honeymoons raises a significant halachic question, famously addressed by R. Yitzchak Abadi in his sefer Ohr Yitzchak which is the problem of "dam besulim". After the first time a couple is intimate on the wedding night, they are normally required to avoid relations until the wife becomes pure again, as you allude to in your question. But on honeymoons, which most couples take immediately after the wedding, couples are generally assumed to have relations again, within the prohibited timeframe. R. Abadi attempts to find a way around this problem in order to make sure that the majority of couples that go on honeymoons are not transgressing. His approach is rejected by R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, whose response is published in R. Abadi's sefer along with R. Abadi's rebuttal.

Are signature based antivirus or antimalware solutions effective? Has the battle been lost against the ever increasing amount of malware, particularly rootkits, that are in the wild?
I would contend that Anti-Virus/Ani-Malware and other black-list based security systems have the following serious deficiencies:
In contrast, white-list based security systems which allow what is known, routine and safe, while disallowing (with an option to ask the user whether to allow from now on) everything else, are much more sustainable, effective, efficient and actually secure.
This is not just my opinion, it is a principle that many prominent security experts agree on. See for example: This WiReD article
[Update: 2014-07-29]
But it gets worse: imagine a big and complex, monolithic application which runs on your computer with the highest privileges. It intercepts many system-calls and sometimes changes their semantics, installs kernel drivers on updates, employs a packet filter which sniffs everything coming in, and effectively tries to control anything your computer can or cannot do. What I just described is the essence of AV software. This is exactly what most of them do. The result is that typical AV software dramatically increases your attack-vulnerability surface. In fact, modern malware often looks for AV software vulnerabilities to exploit (see this reference for example). This is the reason why many security experts consider AV programs to be the biggest viruses ever invented.
What I personally would use instead?
A combination of white-list based protections, in many layers. When one fails, the others may succeed:
There's no silver bullet. Security is a complex area affected by many factors. One can use the above (and more) principles to increase security but one can never be sure that he's 100% secure given the complexities of hardware, software and high number of potential infection vectors.
A signature-based detection system can't be the only solution, but it can be part of the solution. Indeed you'll find that a lot of the AV products that have behavioural detection and heuristic detection also still employ signature-based detection. It's simple, it's fast, the chances for false positives are very low. But the chances for false negatives are high, and you certainly fail against novel attacks.
Please look at these videos at securitytube
which both demonstrates how easy it is to avoid antivirus detection. Signature based antivirus needs to live on, but if they want to make a living it won't be sufficient by limiting yourself only to signature based detection.
You have automated tools which can use to disguise your malware making it no hassle distributing a malware which the antivirus will not pick up.
You also have the challenges of Polymorphic code which makes signature based checking even harder. The battle is by no means lost, but it is significantly harder to block by signature today than it was 10 years ago.
It was lost when someone like your mom could lose her identity and payment cards to fraud.
I would say that, no, anti-virus and anti-malware have been very ineffective since the Windows buffer overflow in 1999. In 2010, they are adding fuel to the fire and make systems more insecure, and not just because they provide a false sense of security. They are actively being attacked themselves and used as rootkits or entry points.
It depends what you mean by effective. This method would only notice known viruses. But if a virus is known it is also certain what kind of vulnerability it exploits. In the past those vulnerabilities were either already fixed when the virus spread or were fixed direct after it became known.
So if the system is updated on a regularly basis, a virus scanner would not have much benefit. On the downside the virus scanner slows down the computer and often annoys people.
I often advise home users to not install any anti virus software. Instead they should consider some general hints (regular updates, principle of least privilege etc.). Every half a year or so I check those systems with some anti virus CD. For ~10 years neither of those systems were affected by a virus.
I don't consider the battle to be lost. If the user pays some attention to the security of his computer he could stay safe.
AV is a blacklist control that tries to enumerate what is bad and block it, allowing everything else by default. This type of control is very convenient but not very effective, and in the case of AV it is more or less an admission of defeat.
From a security point of view it is usually better to enumerate what is allowed and deny everything else by default. This of course is much less convenient but also much more effective.
I'd much prefer to see systems that work by only allowing the handful of programs I've explicitly installed and permissioned to run, than by trying to stop the bazillions of programs I don't want to run. I think the current tendency towards 'app stores' is somewhat helpful in this respect.
You could do an inverse, i. e. have checksums for valid executables, otherwise signatures are bit out of place.
I think you have to evaluate your situation to make that determination. The blacklisting AV programs out there are actually able to detect millions of different kinds of malware. If you are vulnerable to that malware and see a lot of malware, I think you would be hard pressed to say it isn't effective.
However, it is only one piece of security defense. Blacklisting is mostly reactive (some generic matching, but higher false positives). When updates are released, by definition they are already old. Any new malware won't be in the list.
A bunch of the large AV vendors are doing a sort of real-time detection and updates via "the cloud," but it just shortens the time between updates.

We do online e-learning without using any third party tools like Adobe Captivate / eLearning suite, and it would be great to (somehow) get some text-to-speech going.
Is there any way at all to get this working for free (or very cheap, some plans are just ridiculous such as http://www.acapela-group.com/text-to-speech-interactive-demo.html)
Ideally what we need is for the user to select their language, however happy to start with just English, then just start reading the HTML on the page..
Or am I just barking up the wrong tree here, if people NEED TTS, they would just be using their own software or the ones the come with O/S...right?
Edit: The requirement is to make the content a little more engaging. Also, it aids some people if they are slow readers. The reason I was thinking TTS over a proffesional Voice Over is that is should be easier to implement? Having a VO linked to each text "snippet" will require cutting up hundreds of MP3 files and then programming the elearning framework to do this. Having an automated TTS system should be easier for that, especially if in multiple languages
However, I think it does need to be a professional VO.
thanks for your thoughts/inputs

Many companies (and the US government) create fake social media (Facebook, Twitter etc.) accounts in order to make it look like people are talking about their product. I personally know several frum people who have done this. The question is, isn't this clearly forbidden because of gneivas daas?

The source for the concept/prohibition of geneivas da'as is the Mishnah in Chullin 93b and the Gemara that follows. The common denominator in all of the cases is that one is causing another to be thankful or appreciative for something which isn't really there; thus "stealing" the other's appreciation.* It is not really relevant to most questions of business ethics.
*Example: Opening a fancy bottle of wine and giving the plausible implication that it was in a certain guest's honor when in reality you were going to open it anyway.

I want to setup a
www-data user for vsftpd and set its root dir to
How can I do this?
The vsftpd man page is here. Also check out the example directory showing different possible FTP configurations.
Real users
Assuming you want a real system user to access ftp, you will have to set the option local_enable=Yes. But if you do that, all your users will automatically be able to log in via FTP. Therefore it might be a good idea to setup a whitelist of FTP users by setting userlist_enable=Yes, userlist_deny=No and specifying 'userlist_file'. If you wish to lock users in their home directories, you can set chroot_local_user=Yes
minimal sample /etc/vsftpd.conf:
Virtual Users
Vsftpd also supports virtual users via PAM integration. Set guest_enable=Yes in /etc/vsftpd.conf. This has the effect of mapping every non-anonymous successful login to the local username specified in 'guest_username'. Then, use PAM and (e.g.) its pam_userdb module to provide authentication against an external (i.e. non-/etc/passwd) repository of users. I've never personally used this configuration, but there are examples of virtual users setups in the example directory.
First log in as root: sudo -i.
That user should then be able to log in.

WHEELING - No matter the year, the Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Star Game comes down to the play in the trenches.
Line play on both sides of the ball makes the difference most of the time and don't expect that to change on July 27 when the annual game is staged at Wheeling Island Stadium.
When Jose Davis and his staff sat down to pick their team, they drafted the team as such, loading up on big, versatile, athletic linemen, who could had experience on both sides of the ball.
"We trust the coaches and their nominations of guys who are worthy of playing," Davis said. "We feel like we have good athletes, but we also have enough beef to stop and plug the holes."
Davis is anxiously awaiting to see the kind of shape the players come to Bethany for camp a week from Sunday.
"Not a lot of teams do what we do (offensively) and it's not real difficult up front to pick up on, but there's not a lot of time in this camp for conditioning, so we have to find some ways to get them into suitable shape," Davis said.
Here's a capsule look at the players:
CHRISTOPHER STARLIPER, Steubenville - This two-way lineman was a standout for coach Reno Saccoccia's team that advanced to the Division IV state semifinals.
The 5-foot-11, 270-pounder was a first-team all-Eastern District performer after playing at offensive tackle and nose guard.
He was also the recipient of the Calvin Jones Award, which goes to the top Steubenville offensive lineman.
Away from sports, Starliper was a member of National Honor Society, Key Club, attended Buckeye Boys State and graduated in the top 10 of his class.
The son of Martha and Dave Starliper plans to attend Kent State University.
JAYLIN WILLIAMS, Steubenville - This former Big Red two-way player was a model of consistency for Saccoccia's team. The 6-2, 230 pounder made 25 straight starts for Steubenville. As a defensive end, he posted 58 tackles.
He was an all-Eastern District first-team selection, all-Quad County and received the Dave Hindman Hustle Award.
The son of Jay Williams plans to attend Ohio University.
WYATT BACK, Bellaire - This former Big Reds' standout was one of the key pieces in the trenches for Davis' squad during the last few years.
Back shined on both the offensive and defensive lines and was recognized as first-team all-Eastern District, second-team all-Ohio in Division VI and all-OVAC.
Along with football, Back was the everyday catcher for the Big Reds' baseball team and lettered in basketball.
Away from athletics, Back was a standout in the classroom. He carried a 3.498 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society.
The son of Brian and Courtney Back plans to attend Waynesburg.
CORY BANCO, Shadyside - The Shadyside offense put up record numbers on offense by running the football and this lineman was a key reason why.
The 6-3, 280-pounder shined at guard and defensive tackle for coach Mark Holenka's team. Defensively, he finished with 175 tackles and seven sacks in his career. He graded out at 95 percent blocking and allowed only three sacks.
Banco was recognized as first-team all-Ohio, all-Eastern District and all-OVAC.
The son of Tom and Jennifer Banco will attend Ohio University.
COLBY LINDSAY, St. Clairsville - This Red Devils' mainstay was a standout on both sides of the ball for coach Brett McLean's squad.
The 6-3, 210-pounder was a starter at defensive end and offensive tackle. He was a starter on the Red Devils' 2012 state runnerup squad and this past season he recorded 60 tackles, nine for loss, three sacks and recovered a fumble.
Along with football, Lindsay was a state track qualifier in the discus. Away from athletics, Lindsay was active in French Club and Ski Club.
The son of Chiara Lindsay and Doug McClure plans to attend Ohio University.
ZACH MEADOWS, Shadyside - This two-way lineman wreaked all sorts of havoc on opposing teams during his career for Holenka's team.
The 6-1, 255-pounder was the center and defensive tackle. He had 72 tacles and 6.5 sacks this past season en route to first-team all-Ohio. He was first-team all-OVAC, all-Eastern District and was Lineman of the Year at the Big Cat Lineman Challenge.
Along with football, Meadows lettered in wrestling and baseball during his prep career.
The son of Don and Amanda Meadows will attend West Liberty.
AUSTIN SCHOCKLING, Caldwell - This defensive line standout was a talented run stopper for coach Josh Perkins' squad.
The 6-2, 275-pounder played defensive tackle during his prep career and finished with 142 tackles, 66 solos, 9.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. He ranks 15th all time in school history with 133 tackles this past season.
Schockling was a first-team all-OVAC and all-PVC selection along with a second-team all-Eastern District.
Along with football, Schockling lettered in track and field. He's also active in 4H.
He is the son of Albert and Rudy Schockling.
DALTON SECREST, Beallsville - This Blue Devils' standout had a season that won't be forgotten anytime soon for coach Paul Kanzigg's team.
The 6-2, 275-pounder recorded 123 tackles and a mind-boggling 26 sacks in helping to lead Beallsville to the playoffs.
Secrest was a second-team all-Ohioan, first-team all-Eastern District and all-OVAC. His sack total is an OVAC single-season record.
Along with football, Secrest lettered in basketball and baseball.
The son of Marvin and Misty Secrest plans to attend Marietta College.
KORDELL STAGE, Cambridge - This two-way tackle was standout for coach Kevin Gunn's squad the last several seasons. The 6-4, 300-pounder was equally productive on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Stage's season was recognized by his spot on the All-Eastern District and all-Ohio honorable mention listing.
The son of Bill and Ginny Stage plans to attend Capital University.
LUKE STRAUB, Martins Ferry - This two-way standout was a key cog in the success of coach Dave Bruney's team during his three years in the lineup.
The 6-0, 255-pounder graded out at 93 percent for his career at right guard. He was a two-year mainstay at middle linebacker, racking up 67 tackles, three fumble recoveries and an interception.
Straub was a first-team all-Eastern District, all-OVAC and all-Buckeye 8. He was a second-team all-Ohioan in Division V.
The son of Rick and Lori Straub plans to attend West Liberty University.

I am looking at buying one of the pirate ship sets, such as 6285-1: Black Seas Barracuda, however, I am concerned the parts in the set are too specialized, and could not be easily adapted to make custom creations. The three main parts are: the pieces of the ship's hull, the masts, and the sails. Are there any uses for these parts outside of making other pirate ships?
(promoting this from comment to answer, since it now has pictures)
In my experience, they're not that useful. I have a mast and rigging from 6270: Forbidden Island, and more rigging from 6261: Raft Raiders. The mast from 6261 is more useful (and has been in 20 sets) because it also has the two finger hinges, which make it a bit more versatile than the two mast pieces of 6270 (first part [8 sets], second part [3 sets]). The mast platform is quite reusable, given its generic shape.
All the pieces apart look like this:
And you can combine the small rigging and mast platform to make a rudimentary TIE Fighter:
ALL parts can be used for something other than the original theme.
Here's an example of a use for the boat hull by Flickr user 2 Much Caffeine:
There's also a rather humorous saying that goes: "All parts are space parts". It's equally applicable to any other theme.

Considering I have no programming background, Is there a resource out there that's the de-facto standard for describing best practices, design methodologies, and other helpful information on R programming? What about that resource makes it special?

closed as off-topic by MichaelT, Thomas Owens♦ Mar 22 '14 at 10:57
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
I don't know if there is a book for a non-programmer in R or S but you can certainly start with the native R project site:
Starting with the Manuals section:
From a design perspective I would definitely recommend Programming with data by John Chambers. He is the designer of the S language, of which R is the open source implementation. Another more conceptual book seems to be The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design. There are number of statistics books which use R (Modern Applied statistics with S (and R), Introductory statistics with R), but these are already more aimed at the statistics, while you are probably more looking for a programming and not a stats book.
First of all, it is important to understand that R can be used for different purposes, each of which would have a particular book dedicated to it with some specific examples and applications.
The one I would definitely recommend for somebody who wants to understand R as a programming language is Software for Data Analysis: Programming with R. This book explains how the languages works in details. However, you will have few "concrete examples" of application. However, it is this book that made me feel completely fluent in R.
Then, I would suggest reading Data Manipulation with R which will explain you the different data structures which are quite different from one another and can be a pain during development if you haven't understood properly how they work.
Then you can find the book you want for the concretes examples on your field.
I find Matloff's R for programmers a pretty good read (despite the title, it's perfectly suitable for non-programmers, such as myself and covers more or less everything, including the S4 class types), especially in conjunction with The R Inferno by Patrick Burns (teaches you about "gotcha's" in R). Both are freely available resources.
To directly answer your question: No, but see the main project website and official R manuals.
To indirectly answer your question: R is a pain in the butt to learn, because I've found that there are fifty ways to accomplish any single task, and that's pretty confusing for the new user. I'm going through this right now and I'm finding it as difficult as anyone.
The technique I found most useful was to learn the very basics of R by going through the first chapter or two of any R tutorial to get the language syntax, and then to go through homework problems from an R course. This way, instead of reading through the fifteen ways to sort a data frame, you can learn one way, try it out in the homework, and if it works, great, that's how you do it. If not, keep searching until you find a technique that does work.
I think the biggest challenge for me when I was learning R (and still learning) is the vast amount of information available for R (information overload really). I would suggest you purchase a book and use that as your defacto standard until you have a solid footing in R and handling data in R. There is literally a ton of information and help for using R. That is a huge benefit, but also can be a drawback. Especially if every example you come across by searching these forums or The Google uses different packages. The authors of most R books tend to be consistent and use the base R packages, or their favorite packages available form cran. The key to learning is consistency.
Although the references below are not specific to "programming" in R, and not "canonical" they are a great resource nonetheless and I will add them to supplement my answer.

hi, i am trying to plan my march / may time (including protestant family / friends) and i am wondering in which countries do protestants celebrate easter together with the orthodox, as opposed to with catholics, as in north america and western europe?for example in romania, everyone, except the very small catholic minority celebrates easter on the orthodox calendar (i mean 5th may, so there is no confusion, i am not trying to start a calendar discussion!)what about the russians and ukrainians? do protestants there celebrate in may?the protestants i know in cyprus celebrate together with the catholics (i can't imagine how they cope, i mean, they must have to use blackout curtains to escape the very big Paschal celebrations everywhere).i was thinking of going there towards the end of lent, but travel prices are extremely high, and also i am not sure i can handle the orthodox Paschal denial thing that is going on with the people i will visit.(everything is shut! you can't get anything done in this country! me: 'don't emigrate there then'!)also there is the fasting thing, staying in a non orthodox house towards the end of lent and politely declining food and drink (may have to escape to a monastery...)do you have any information or advice?
travel prices are extremely high,do you have any information or advice?
for example in romania, everyone, except the very small catholic minority celebrates easter on the orthodox calendar (i mean 5th may, so there is no confusion, i am not trying to start a calendar discussion!)
all the baptists, evangelicals and pentecostals i know,... celebrate with the orthodox.they call it 'catholic easter'

See Actual Documents from U.S. District Court.
Documents from U.S. District Court say following Davis Cooper's arrest on March 19, he confessed to embezzling money from the city since the mid 1980s. Cooper told the FBI he set up two phony bank accounts 20 years ago, for the sole purpose of concealing the stolen money. One was called the Treasurers Collections Account, the other, Campus Manor Associates.
An FBI affidavit also says Cooper admitted stealing insurance premium tax checks from the office vault after regular business hours. Those checks are paid to the city by insurance companies for the privilege of doing business inside the city limits. The amounts fluctuate each year, making any theft easy to conceal.
So how did Cooper get caught? According to the affidavit, an insurance company submitted an amended payment to the city. When it was entered into the computer system, the system showed the original payment had not been collected. When the insurance company was notified, they said their check had already cleared U.S. Bank, and Cooper's phony account was discovered. Cooper also admitted stealing the interest from city certificates of deposit in the mid-80s, when interest rates were high and his theft would not have been noticed.
Cooper's federal arraignment is set for May 18. If convicted, he could get up to ten years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and ordered to pay restitution.

The Class of 1994 gathered at Barren River Lake State Resort Park the weekend of May 10. Cabins 504, 507, and 510 were rented to members of the class who had come to the reunion.
According to the State Park's incident report, at 7:15 the next morning a cook at the lodge, John Moss, went outside for a smoke. When Moss came outside to smoke, he realized he had forgotten his lighter. When he went tot the parking lot to retrieve that lighter, he looked toward the downstairs loading dock, where he saw Jeremy "Scotty" Martin lying in a pool of blood.
It's estimated that Martin fell off the retaining wall eleven feel above the dock.
In a statement to park rangers, John Moss said, "When I approached the first time I touched his shoulder and asked him to wake up, that was when I saw all the blood, called 911."
At 7:55 an ambulance and a Stat Care helicopter were dispatched to the park. At 8:55 Martin was flown to Vanderbilt Medical Center in, Nashville. He died two weeks later.
State Parks initially denied an Open Records request for the incident but that decision was overturned by the Attorney General. WBKO contacted the State Park offices, in Frankfort; they declined to comment due to the ongoing investigation.
Kentucky State Police tell WBKO they expect their investigation to be complete at the end of August and will be able to provide more details then.

Are there any studies showing how the reactions of a children (ages 2-4) are to new environments right after their parents separation?
How soon would it be "too soon" for the introduction of a new stable environment that includes another parental figure? Time, stability and love are key points on the adaptation process, I am aware of that. But would it be prejudicial to include a different, stable relation to that process?

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.

Softball Readies for SAC Tournament AppearanceApril 23, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – On the heels of winning its first South Atlantic Conference regular-season title since joining the SAC in 2011, the No. two seeded Anderson University softball team will square off against seventh-seeded Carson-Newman in the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Championship Thursday at Lincoln Memorial's Dorothy Neely Field. First-pitch versus the Eagles is slated for 3 p.m.
Thursday's contest marks Anderson's third consecutive appearance in the conference tournament and its second straight as the No. two seed. The Trojans also entered last years' tourney as the second seed, but stumbled and were eliminated after dropping two straight decisions. But AU bounced back as an at-large selection in the NCAA's Hickory Regional, winning three straight contests en route to an appearance in the Southeast Super Regional in Savannah, Ga.
The Trojans
Led by six All-South Atlantic Conference honorees, Anderson (38-10, 16-6 SAC) wrapped up the regular season with a three-game win streak and claimed victories in 14 of its last 15 contests to claim a share of the SAC regular-season title, alongside Lenoir-Rhyne.
AU leads the South Atlantic Conference in runs scored, home runs, RBI, total bases, batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage while ranking second in total hits and walks. The Trojan pitching staff posted 14 shutouts on the season, which ranked second only to Lenoir-Rhyne's 16 shutouts. The trio of junior Katelynn Howser (15-5) and freshmen Lauren Rudesheim (16-4) and Augie Pena (7-1) held opponents to a .220 batting average, which was fifth-best in the SAC and posted a combined 237 strikeouts in more than 303 innings pitched, which ranks third in the league.
The potent Trojan offense features six players hitting better than .300 on the season, including four among the league's top 11 hitters. Two-time First-Team All-SAC honoree Molly Child has blasted a pair of grand slams this season and leads the conference with a career-best 13 home runs. The LaGrange, Ga. native ranks 24th nationally in home runs and is third in the conference in batting average (.416) and ranks in the top four in the SAC in seven additional offensive categories, including runs (55), hits (67), total bases (116), on-base percentage (.481) and slugging percentage (.720). Child reached base in 24 consecutive contests at one point during the season, including an 18-game hitting streak. The center fielder also performs on defense, having started 103 games during her two-year career and has not committed an error.
First baseman Danielle Swygert, is just behind Child in the league's statistical rankings, as the two-time first-team all-conference award winner boasts a .408 batting average and wrapped up the regular-season fourth in the league in that category and was fourth with her .704 slugging percentage. The senior also ranks third in the SAC with 51 RBI, fifth in on-base percentage (.479), seventh in doubles (13), eighth in hits (58) and home runs (9) and ninth in runs scored (40). Over the final five games of the regular season, Swygert posted three homers and drove in nine runs.
Junior second baseman Jessica Neidigh, who has earned postseason conference honors for three consecutive years, leads the league and is 20th in the nation with 56 runs scored and also paces the SAC with 24 stolen bases. Neidigh has been nearly perfect on the base paths, as the leadoff hitter is 61-of-62 in stolen bases. She also ranks third in the SAC with 65 hits on the strength of an 11-game, a seven-game and a six-game hitting streak, while ranking sixth in batting average (.396) and eighth in on-base percentage (.457).
Fellow senior Abby Child is hitting .374 on the season to claim the 11th spot in the conference rankings, while leading the SAC with 30 walks on the season. The shortstop is tied for second in the SAC along with teammate Courtney Czentnar with 11 home runs and ranks third in runs scored (49), fourth in runs batted in (49) and fifth in slugging percentage (.680). Child has started 193 consecutive games over her four-year career and holds the school record for career RBI, walks and slugging percentage.
Outfielder Courtney Czentnar earlier became the third Trojan in four seasons to earn SAC Freshman of the Year accolades after hitting .348 during the regular season. The right fielder closed the regular season on a five-game hitting streak and is tied with Abby Child with 11 homers on the season. She is sixth with 41 RBI and 16th in the conference with 33 runs scored. Czentnar is 10th in total bases (93), seventh in slugging percentage (.674), 11th in stolen bases (10) and ranks 20th with her .348 batting average.
Junior outfielder Rebecca Martin is hitting a career-high .330 on the season and has belted a career-best seven home runs on the season, which places her 10th in the SAC and ranks sixth on the team with a .569 slugging percentage.
In the circle, Howser earned Second-Team All-SAC accolades after posting a 15-5 mark during the regular season while starting 19 contests in the circle. She tossed nine complete games, including three shutouts, while holding opponents to a .199 batting average. Her 1.69 ERA ranks seventh in the SAC and the right-hander won seven of her final eight decisions, while allowing just 10 earned runs in those eight contests.
The Eagles
Carson-Newman (32-16, 11-11 SAC) was a preseason pick to finish tied for fourth with Catawba in the coaches' preseason poll, with each garnering one first-place vote.
C-N lost All-American catcher Bri Shoemake and utility slugger Cassie Elliot, however, the Eagles returned 81 percent of their run production from last season. The conference's Player of the Year a season ago, shortstop Brittany Hefner, who recorded a SAC and school-record 75 RBI last season, returned, along with outfielder Kelli Hensley, utility player Elayna Siebert, third baseman Sara Kelley and Braleigh Angel, who hit better than .300 last year. Two others, Caitlyn Lance and Jessica Morgan, returned after seasons where they hit better than .285. Hefner, Hensley and Siebert each a spot on the Preseason All-SAC First-Team.
Hensley and pitcher Kalyn Davis swept the SAC weekly honors in mid-February, after Hensley collected a four-hit day against Belmont Abbey in a sweep for the Eagles. She produced an inside-the-park home run in game two of that series, while Davis picked up a complete game shutout. Davis began her sophomore season with 16 consecutive innings of shutout ball and scattered four hits in the Eagles' win over Belmont Abbey. Hensley earned the honor for a second time this season on March 11, after helping lead C-N to doubleheader sweeps of Concord and GRU Augusta with multiple hits in each game. Hensley had four RBI for the week, a double and a pair of triples.
Kelley earned league Pitcher of the Week accolades in late February, following a 5-1 week for C-N where the Eagles saw Kelley drive in a run in every contest and notch an extra base hit in every contest. The senior from Ooltewah, Tenn. hit .579 for the week with 11 hits and nine RBI. Kelley drove in three for the Eagles in C-N's 6-0 victory over Limestone to set up head coach Vickee Kazee-Hollifield's 1,000th career win.
Hensley, Kelley and Caitlyn Lance each earned all-conference honors earlier today, as the Eagles enter the tournament on a two-game win streak and have won three of four after wrapping up the regular season by splitting with Tusculum and sweeping Queens.
The Series vs. Carson-Newman
The Trojans and Eagles have met 33 times on the diamond, with Carson-Newman holding a decisive 26-7 advantage in the overall series. The Eagles claimed 24-of-25 meetings, including 19 straight, during the early 2000s, but Anderson holds a 5-4 edge since the Trojans joined the South Atlantic Conference in 2011. The Trojans have won the last five meetings, including a sweep of the last two regular-season doubleheaders and a 2-0 shutout victory in the 2012 South Atlantic Conference Tournament.
The Trojans posted an 8-0 shutout and a 13-2 win past the Eagles earlier this month, as junior Bri Cason went 4-for-5 in the doubleheader, with a walk and a pair of RBI. Swygert was 4-for-6 on the afternoon, with a home run and a double to go along with two walks, five RBI and four runs scored. Molly Child tallied a home run and three singles and scored five times in eight at-bats, while Abby Child notched a double, three singles, two RBI and also crossed the plate five times. Martin posted three hits a walk and an RBI, with Czentnar belting two home runs and driving in six runs. Neidigh and Sieber each added two hits apiece.
The Field
Anderson is a combined 9-5 versus the rest of the teams in the tournament after sweeping regular-season doubleheaders with Catawba, Tusculum and Carson-Newman, while splitting twin bills with LMU, Wingate and Brevard. AU was swept by top-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne during the regular season.
Lenoir-Rhyne (38-11, 16-6 SAC), the four-time defending tournament champion, is the top seed and will square off against eighth-seeded Catawba (24-19, 9-13 SAC), with No. 4 Tusculum (30-22, 14-8 SAC) facing the host Lady Railsplitters (26-15, 12-8 SAC) in other opening-round action on Thursday. Third-seeded Wingate (32-16, 14-6 SAC) will meet No. 6 seed Brevard (22-23, 11-9 SAC) in the final first-round matchup.

Most of the human genes are found to be highly methylated in their 3'UTR region (0.8-0.9%). I was wondering if there is any specific reason for this?
According to Choi et al. Genome Biology 2009, 10:R89, DNA methylation at both coding boundaries may regulate transcription elongation and stabilize splicing by reducing the occurrences of exon skipping.
From the abstract:
Their data (figures 1 and S2), however, do not support a generalized increase in the 3' UTR regions in either human T cells, mouse liver, yeast or flies.

Discover the unexpected, off-the-wall things that can arouse your man
9 Times You Should Be Selfish in Your Marriage
Discover the unexpected, off-the-wall things that can arouse your manMore
Obviously, wearing a body-hugging ensemble or watching a sexy flick together can get a man in the mood. But there are some surprising sights (and even scents!) guys find equally arousing. Here, experts share the top 10 most unexpected turn-ons for men, and how you can use them to spice things up in ways you won't believe.
Forget the Chanel No. 5, ladies. Chicago's Smell and Taste Research Center found the scent of pumpkin pie mixed with lavender increased men's penile blood flow more than 23 other fragrances. Why? The combination might conjure up memories of a pleasure-filled meal or simply make men feel extra-relaxed. Thanksgiving desserts and potpourri may seem innocent enough, but bake a pie next to a sprig of lavender, and your hubby may suddenly want to take a trip to the bedroom.
