This session is presented by Scott Hanselman during Microsoft DevDays 2010 in The Hague in The Netherlands.
Oops, something didn't work.
Finally a sensible explanation of oData and the reason behind it.
Good one Scott.
Thanks, really enjoyed the introduction of .Net 4.
Scott reeaaalllly needs a quadcore to better show the performance of parallel computing
Thanks guys. You might also enjoy the talk on ASP.NET MVC: From Beginner to Ninja recorded at the same conference.
Very well done Scott! I nominate it for the best .NET 4 presentation so far
Thanks Scott! Great tour.
Scott Hanselman is a great presenter, the perfect balance between calm/passion, funny/serious, and the ability to perceive things from a newbs point of view and the master's. This is a really edifying presentation.
Like Jeroen Ritmeijer said above, great intro to OData. Also, I like the MEF dating service analogy; I'll surely use it when conversing with others.
Scott's talks are so great. They are both informative and incredibly entertaining.
This was thoroughly awesome and entertaining.
Also, thank you for not being all PC and skipping things like the Gandhi joke.
I've not watched Scott's presentations before recently but he really manages to present these things very clear and well. Thumbs up.
First - Scott, awesome presentation! It was a very worthwhile watch for me..
Also, Just a FYI to for the product mentioned 'evernote.com' - is this the product?? - it seems really cool, but CHECK THE T&C!!!
'(e) your Contributions automatically become the property of Evernote without any obligation of Evernote to you;'
Take care and i'll be watching some more of your presentations!
Thanks Aditya! I was taking a chance with that joke, but I had a lot of fun and everyone seemed to laugh. Thanks for appreciating it.
What the cuss? I am playing this on Silverligth **4**. I put the video in full screen on my second monitor then proceed to work on my first montior and the video kicks out of full screen mode upon the first mouse-click on the app I want to work in. I thought Silverlight 4 was supposed to support this scenario? That's what ScottGu said during his DevConnections keynote. If this requires a config change on the content side then please update your silverlight content to support this new functionality in SL4.
Hi Scott,
I am not sure what it is, but I have been wondering around the 2.x world and it kinda lost its magic for a while, bit more excitement and purpose now with 4.0, you gotta feel happy with what the ms teams have produced with this product, I must say good job all round. I am itching to make internet again. ps I enjoy the podcasts!

It's possible to get some crazy sounds using an EBow on the guitar. I know that it works by creating an electromagnetic field to move the strings. Has anybody tried to build one? Are any schematics available?
Take a look at this page. It provides some decent background technical information.
It sounds like a fairly interesting DIY project, considering as real ones go for over £70-80!
Hope this helps.

I've got an older computer with an 80 GB hard drive. I'm trying to keep the hard drive as clear as possible and delete any downloaded files that I no longer need. I was just wondering, if I delete a file (which sends it to the trash bin) and then empty the trash bin, does that completely delete the file off the hard drive? If not, is there a good way to clean up the hard drive from time to time without erasing necessary programs?

FORT RILEY, Kan. – Fort Riley will mark the completion of a massive renovation and addition project at the installation's grocery store with a six-day grand reopening celebration, beginning March 13.
The event kicked off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, March 13.
"Our customers have been very patient while we were making these improvements. Now it's time to reward them," said Store Director Peter Howell. "Commissary vendors will be offering contests and special grand reopening prices on products throughout the store."
Grand reopening prices will run from Tuesday, March 13, through Sunday, March 18, or while supplies of promotionally priced items last.
From now until the Grand Opening contest registrations will be underway to further celebrate the commissary opening, Howell, said.
The $24 million renovation and addition project increased the size of the store by nearly 75 percent, and scaled up the stock assortment from 14,000 to 19,000 line items.
The Fort Riley commissary is the fourth largest in the Army inventory, and is the 11th largest Defense commissary. The store remained operational to serve the public during the renovation.
"Every department in the store is much larger," said Howell. "Our focus has always been on providing world-class customer service, and this store helps us deliver.
As the renovation progressed over the past two years, products were moved and are not necessarily in the same location they were before the renovation began. Large signs hanging in the middle of each aisle will help customers find products, and a store map is available in racks at both store entrances.
"Commissary associates are available on the sales floor to help any shopper who needs assistance," Howell said. "If a customer has a question or is having trouble finding a product, we want them to ask any one of our associates for help."

Fanotec aims at a much higher quality standard in the Modular Series. To achieve this, we need to tweak many existing workflow and work closely with our anodizing partners. We are advised to make some changes to increase the efficiency of the anodizing processes. Below are changes we made to our Quick Release Clamps and Multi-functional Rails. The changes are minor and do not affect any functionality.
Differences in Pre-production and Final Versions of Multi-functional Rails
1. Some small sockets for installing integrated rail-stops are removed to enhance efficiency in anodizing processes.
2. Integrated rail-stops are installed with self-adhesive in final version.
3. Final version is a bit heavier and hence stronger.
4. Overall cleaner look
Differences in Pre-production and Final Versions of Quick Release Clamps
1. Some small sockets for installing anti-twisting screws are removed or replaced by larger ones to enhance efficiency in anodizing processes.
2. Sockets for screw storage are removed.
3. Overall cleaner look.
Other components in Modular Series remain unchanged.
The final versions are almost ready. We just need to make the small screws that are changed from pre-production. Price of final version is same as pre-production prior to discount.

According to some websites, lighting for computer work should not produce a glare on the screen or originate from a window behind the screen.
But then, where should I keep it? Behind me / pointing towards desk on the right hand side of screen ?
Looks like a cube. If you have side walls, try facing the light towards them and have the light reflect off them. This produces a more balanced light distribution
Personally, I like to have a backlight behind the monitor itself. Takes eye strain off when the LCD isn't the only source of illumination.
In your situation; from what I can see, I would probably move the lamp directly behind the laptop and shine it straight down or at the back of the laptop itself. Indirect light and the brightness of the laptop screen is still diffused.
Healthycomputing.com suggests:
The BSEE site recommends:
UCLA recommend a range of measures including:
Like @wom, I have back-lights behind my 24" monitor, which light is reflected by the wall behind the monitor. This monitor is the secondary screen for my laptop; the backlight reflection produces indirect dim lighting to comfortably view both my laptop screen and larger monitor, and even my keyboard.
The back-lights are IKEA LED strips, stuck to (only) the back of the 24" monitor.

How are Chrome and Firefox validating SSL Certificates? Are they requesting data from an SSL certification website, like GeoTrust, to validate the certificate received from the web server?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 25 '12 at 19:11
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Browsers and/or operating systems tend to come with a pre-defined list of CA certificates used as trust anchors to check the certificates of servers they connect to. They're all customisable (except for EV certificates, for which the root certificates are hard-coded into the browser, although you can disable them... bug excepted).
Firefox uses its own list on all platforms.
Internet Explorer and Chrome use the operating system's certificate repository on Windows. The default is available via Microsoft's Root Certificate programme.
Apple also has its programme.
Trusting an a priori unknown server certificate is done by building a certification path between this certificate and one of the browser's trust anchors. This is done as defined in RFC 3280/RFC 5280.
In addition, certificate revocation can also be checked, either via CRL or via OCSP.
To re-iterate the point I made as a comment to Wug's answers: the trust anchors repository is not a cache. A cache is a dynamic placeholder aimed to keep what you've accessed recently at your disposal, based on the assumption you'll need them again soon. In contrast, your trusted certificate list must never be updated automatically on the basis of what you're currently browsing. (It could be updated by automatic security updates, but that's a different issue.)
The server certificate will be obtained every time a new SSL/TLS session is established, and the browser must verify it every time. It's not cached. (You could have some OCSP caching, but that's to improve performance and kept only for a short period of time. This is just for verifying the revocation status, at the time of access.)
Contacting the CA is just for certificate revocation. You don't otherwise contact a CA. CA certificates (your trusted anchors) are a given, a "leap of faith", bundled for you by your OS/browser (which you can choose explicitly, but it's fixed as far as a given connection is concerned). At best you could prevent the certificate revocation check to happen (which may cause your browser to make its validation fail, depending on its settings).
As Wug explained, the validation occurs from the server certificate to the highest certificate in the chain. The browser will look at the certificate properties and perform basic validation such as making sure the URL matches the
Additionally each certificate contains URLs that point to Certificate Revocation Lists (
To answer your question
Yes, the browser will perform basic validation and then contact the CA authority server (through CRL points) to make sure the certificate is still good.
The web server will send the entire certificate chain to the client upon request. The browser (or other validator) can then check the highest certificate in the chain with locally stored CA certificates.
Most operating systems keep a cache of authoritative certificates that browsers can access for such purposes, otherwise the browser will have its own set of them somewhere.
A certificate can be signed by another certificate, forming a "chain of trust" usually terminating at a self signed authoritative certificate provided by an entity such as GeoTrust, Verisign, Godaddy, etc.
This would be a better question for the security SE site.
Google chrome, specifically, I'm not 100% sure uses the OS cache, but you can add an authoritative certificate via Wrench -> Settings -> Show Advanced Settings -> HTTPS/SSL -> Manage Certificates -> Trusted Root Certificate Authorities and adding an authoritative CA certificate there.
Note that Google Chrome stopped using CRL lists around February 7, 2012 to check if a certificate was valid. It seems that they build all the valid certificates into the browser and install a new set every time the browser is updated. See URL: https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/google-stop-using-online-crl-checks-chrome-020712 .

In UNIX, how to find the most commonly used commands in history?
It rather depends on what you intend by 'command'. From one perspective a command is simply an executable called from the command line, therefore
If your intention is to count wholly unique commands in the history, you could execute:
Please be aware that this was tested on a Debian system, the output syntax of your history command may vary slightly. Adjust the number '4' in the command to select alternate columns.
If you wish to consider only the first command without arguments, then you could execute:
To include the arguments but not any chained or piped commands that follow you could execute:
Please note that each of these sorts the number of commands numerically with the highest frequency appearing last.
Another approach would be to use BSD process accounting, which is also available on Linux (though I don't know whether it is enabled by default). It basically keeps a tab of all programs that are run (and some other measures, like CPU time consumed etc.) for as long as the accounting is active. From there a few aggregate statistics are available, among others kind of a list of all programs ever run on the system, sorted by etc. top number of uses.
The commands to look for are
For more details, the Linux journal has an article explaining the workings. I myself got the idea from the NetBSD guide; many of the more generic administration tips in there are not specific to NetBSD but apply to other Unix systems as well.
I have seen both vucar and tok answers, they are very useful but you could use the amazing tool
if you want to list of commands you use most often:

for me it was

Does the Halacha allow the use of a hamsa as a good luck charm, considering that it originated as a Muslim symbol?

Ben Ish Hai (Shana Bet Parashat Pinehas sim. 13) actually endorses the Hamsa.
A few months ago, I asked HaGaon HaRav Meir Elyiahu Shelit"a this question (question 108 on RabiMeir.com):
He answered:
He admits that it is taken from the Muslims, but since a lot of big rabbis didn't protest but actually promoted it, it is simple to him that there is no Hukot HaGoyim involved.
The Wikipedia page discusses how it pre-dates Islam and seems to have pagan origins, which would be a worse problem. Good luck charms are problematic on their own, but pagan ones are definitely assur.

6 Incredible Real-World Supervillain Lairs
#3. Saddam's Bunker (Slightly Damaged)
One thing you can be sure about is that if you are going to be a villain and a huge dick like Saddam Hussein, then you better make sure you build a lair that will protect you from your enemies while you sleep.
Whether he had a flair for the dramatic or he just got an awesome deal, Saddam had his palace bunker designed by the grandson of the woman who built Hitler's bunker.
Apparently grandma knew her stuff when it came to building lairs to protect evil scum because after the war was over it was discovered that despite the palace being hit by seven bunker-busters and 20 cruise missiles, the bunker was apparently not even scratched. Though as you can see from the picture, it's, uh, been scratched quite a bit since then.
Bomb proof, yes. Looter proof, no.
The lair was found underneath gold statues of naked pole dancers and porn-on-black velvet paintings, and was built with layers of thick concrete floors. An expert said that all the layers tricked the bombs by making them explode too early as they "counted" the number of floors they passed. In your face stupid robotic counting bombs! The designer said that the bunker was built to hold up against anything short of a direct hit by a nuclear bomb and we all know those things weren't really built for accuracy.
It also had three-ton Swiss-made steel doors because everyone knows that three-ton steel doors made by anyone else pretty much suck ass.
Of course all that protection would be useless without something to do, so the lair also came with generators, air filters, a command center and something called an electromagnetic pulse defense system. Although, we're inclined to think that last one was just some useless bullshit, like those neon lights kids put underneath their cars.
There was even a TV editing room where you could make your own propaganda videos... or watch porn. In the event that the bunker was actually breached though, there were two tunnels you could use to escape while swearing revenge. Of course a lair like this only works if you actually decide to stay inside it instead of hiding in something called a spirderhole dug in some guy's back yard.
Saddam totally got screwed on the "Free Backup Bunker" included in the deal.
#2. Cocaine Island
Some of you outdoorsy types are probably thinking it's no fun to rule the world if you're stuck in a huge glorified basement the whole time. Well, there is another way.
Just take the example of drug kingpin Carlos Lehder, who simply took over an entire tropical island and used it as a base of operations for his empire.
Sure, Lehder could have just bought himself some uninhabited island, but in true supervillain style, he took over an established island in the Bahamas called Norman's Cay. He started off by buying a lot of the property including an airstrip. But when the other people started complaining about loud parties, uncut grass and the literal tons of cocaine he was flying in everyday, he figured he would help keep the peace by running them off. It's unclear if he tried putting up the usual "No Trespassing" signs first, but soon enough dead bodies were showing up on yachts.
He might have been stopped by the Bahamian government but he took care of this by allegedly bribing the Prime Minister. Lehder then had doberman attack dogs and armed guards roam his properties and the airstrip to make sure nothing would interfere with his drug running business, which included radar and a fleet of aircraft.
During the good years, Lehder was flying in 300 kilograms of cocaine... an hour.
All right, so you've got the ocean to protect you and your own air force. But does a place like this give you time to unwind? Well, a Ledher associate describes how he would be picked up at the airstrip in a Land Rover driven by naked women--which is so awesome because Land Rovers are quality vehicles. So we know he had naked women, gorgeous beaches and mountains of cocaine at his disposal. You can probably paint a picture of the average Saturday night.
Pictured: Ledher's patent cocaine bazooka.
Then again, considering he was eventually taken down by the Bahamian government after the U.S. complained he was flooding the country with cheap coke, you'd have to think he should have spent less time on the coke parties and more time building a death ray.
#1. NORAD's Hollowed-Out Mountain Headquarters
And now, we get to the granddaddy of all high-tech subterranean headquarters.
Probably on the wish list of every would-be villain is the super secure mountain lair, preferably in an active volcano, though that part isn't really practical. The U.S. government took this path when it was looking for a place to house its NORAD defense system. This system is extremely important because it will tell us that the world is going to end in a fiery nuclear war in about 30 minutes.
The lair--or facility, as government types like to call it--was built by hollowing out Cheyenne Mountain. It took three years and over a million pounds of dynamite to carve out the 7 million cubic feet of space required.
To make sure the ultimate lair doesn't become the world's biggest grave after getting hit by a nuclear bomb, the designers also reinforced the bunker with 115,000 rock bolts. There are two employees whose actual full time jobs are to tighten the bolts with what we have to believe are hilarious giant wrenches. The buildings inside the bunker are built on 1316 huge springs, each weighing half a ton, to absorb the shockwave from a nuclear bomb. The buildings include six battle stations, a dentist office and barbershop. Because the end of the world does not have to mean the end of good hygiene.
"I should get a haircut."
The entrance to the bunker is protected by 25 ton steel blast doors that you only reach after driving a few hundred feet into the mountain itself. We especially like how the government also built a wooden guard booth next to the doors.
"Damn it, we can't get in! The wooden arm is down!"
The bunker has enough supplies and equipment to let you and your cronies live underground in the shelter for a few weeks after the bombs drop. Emergency exits located throughout the mountain give you ample opportunity to get out. Though you'll probably be escaping to a post apocalyptic Mad Max-style waste land, making the exits the least useful feature in the place.

Legendary Lovers: Chiron and Achilles
Chiron wasn't like the other centaurs. He was sensitive. More refined. Educated. He was so highly evolved that his front legs were human. Centaurs tended to run with a racy crowd: other lusty centaurs, satyrs, and fauns. They were basically the frat boys of the ancient world. Fun, but troublesome.
In the amphora pictured above, we see the earlier Greek version of the centaur as he instructs Achilles, who is riding on his back. Chiron indulges his young lover in "horseplay" as Achilles pulls the centaur's beard and feigns a punch in Achilles abs. In later Roman depictions of Chiron and Achilles (below: The Education of Achilles' wall painting, from the basilica in Herculaneum), we're shown the more traditional four equine legs, and ears folded at the top like a satyr.
On the following pages, find more historic representations of Achilles and Chiron.
Benigne Gagneraux
Jean Baptiste Regnault, The Education of Achilles, 1782
Pompeo Batoni, 1746
James Barry, The Education of Achilles
Bertel Thorvaldsen, Chiron Teaching Achilles to Shoot with the Bow, 1811
Donato Creti, The Education of Achilles, 1714
Toussaint Dubreuil, The Education of Achilles, 16th century
Giovanni Battista Cipriani, L'education d'Achille. Below a variation by the same artist.
The two paintings above show Achilles as he meets the Cetaur Chiron for the first time (top) and as the wistful Chiron surrenders his young charge, now a young man, to his mother's care — as well as that of some comely young nymphs and serpent men —after his education.

5 Insanely Blatant Acts of Plagiarism by Famous People
Ideas are hard, you guys. At least when you insist on actually coming up with your own -- that's why the Internet is mostly just people copying and pasting somebody else's shit.
But there is a certain level at which public figures just can't get away with it -- politicians, famous authors, scientists -- people who know their work is going to be scrutinized. Yet, sometimes even the most famous of them engage in thievery so laughably obvious that you have to wonder if they wanted to be caught ...
#5. Jane Goodall "Borrows" from Wikipedia and Pseudoscience Sites
Michael Nagle/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Primatologist Jane Goodall is often confused with Sigourney Weaver's character in Gorillas in the Mist (Weaver actually played Dian Fossey). There is a reason for this: In the world of academia, Goodall's score on the Scale of Badassitude is "Ellen Ripley." She took her first steps in primatology with no degree or training, studied chimpanzees in Tanzania for a while, and, after making a bunch of groundbreaking discoveries, waltzed her way into flippin' Cambridge University. Before you know it, she managed to obtain a PhD from this super-university without any prior degrees, a feat that the writers of Air Bud would have deemed unrealistic.
Jeekc, via Wikimedia
They also awarded her stuffed chimp an honorary master's out of sheer respect.
The secret behind Goodall's academic street cred is simple: She has a reputation as an extremely meticulous researcher.
Well, except for that one time ...
The Plagiarism:
In early 2013, Goodall became the center of a plagiarism controversy around her book Seeds of Hope: Wisdom and Wonder from the World of Plants. It was meant to be Goodall's take on genetically modified crops, but people soon started noticing that many parts of the text were ... borrowed. Not from obscure and little-known scientific texts, either -- Goodall's book contained unsourced sentences and entire paragraphs from various web pages, ranging from astrology sites and beer pages to goddamn Wikipedia.
Which became apparent when research was attributed to Prof. Jack Mehoff.
Although Goodall immediately apologized (yet still maintained that the book was well-researched), it soon turned out the scope of plagiarism was bigger than initially thought, to the point where people's answers to Goodall's "interviews" were directly copied from other sources. Combine this with the book's attempts to discuss a legitimate and polarizing issue using data drawn from goddamn astrology sites, and it's easy to see why the impressive reputation Goodall has built over five decades is now running the risk of ending in ruins.
Zachariel, via Wikimedia
"The moon is moving toward Pars Fortuna, and the Planet of the Apes is ascendant."
It should be noted that Goodall didn't write the book alone. She was aided by Gail Hudson, an experienced freelance writer whose previous interests include holistic living, organic foods, and ... spirituality editing?
Yeah. With all due respect to an accomplished scientist, that's probably not the best writing partner for an unbiased stance on GMO maize.
#4. A Republican Politician Steals a Speech ... from Obama
CQ-Roll Call Group/CQ-Roll Call Group/Getty Images
In Idaho's 2010 Republican primary, congressional hopeful Vaughn Ward was blazing a trail toward a bright political future. An Iraq War veteran who was selected as one of the Republican Congressional Committee's "Young Guns," Ward was a veritable political goldmine -- a fresh young face with a hero's resume. To add to his cred, he was endorsed by Sarah Palin (this was a good thing once, remember) and his campaign cash pile made his competition pale in comparison.
There were only two things standing between Vaughn Ward and a bright future in D.C. One of them was Vaughn Ward, and the other was a speech that he stole from a little-known politician called Barack Obama.
U.S. Congress
"But honestly, how will people ever know?
They'd need some kind of magical machine that instantly looks up information."
The Plagiarism:
Ward's oratory abilities -- or lack thereof -- had already become apparent when he comically referred to Puerto Rico, an unincorporated U.S. territory, as an independent country during a debate. When his opponent (who happened to be from Puerto Rico) seized the opportunity to unleash a justified verbal smackdown, Ward retaliated with the cunning argument: "I really don't care what it is.

Common sense in the back seat, geography in the trunk.
Perhaps this is why Ward started preferring other people's words to his own. Only, instead of hiring a speech writer or brain therapist or whatever it is politicians prone to speaking out of their asses do, he resorted to stealing shit from other politicians.
No fewer than five of the 10 position statements on Ward's website were copied verbatim from the websites of fellow Republicans, including big names such as future vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. There's still a chance Ward might have shrugged that shit off, if he hadn't also seen fit to steal some of the most memorable lines from President Obama's 2004 Democratic National Convention speech. Granted, it's a well-regarded speech that launched Obama into political super stardom, so it's far from the worst one you could quote ... for a political essay, properly sourced. If you happen to be a Republican trying to pass those words as your own, you're up shit creek within minutes because every single political journalist recognizes the text as the famous speech given by the reigning ultimate Democrat.
Let's take a look at Ward's Xeroxing, courtesy of Idaho's NewsChannel 7:
Obama: "We stand on the crossroads of history"
Ward: "As we stand on the crossroads of history"
Obama: "We can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us"
Ward: "I know we can make the right choices and meet the challenges that lay before us"
Obama: "If you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do"
Ward: "If you feel the same urgency and the same passion that I do"
Obama: "Then I have no doubt"
Ward: "Then I have no doubt"
Obama: "The people will rise up in November"
Ward: "That our voices will be heard in November"
Obama: "And this country will reclaim its promise"
Ward: "Our country will reclaim its promise"
Obama: "And out of this long political darkness"
Ward: "And out of this darkness"
Obama: "A brighter day will come"
Ward: "A better day is on the horizon"
Chris Butler
Note to self: Stop before "Yes we can" part.
Really, the only thing that's more hilarious than the fact that Ward did this was the fact that after he was inevitably called out, he still tried to claim he had written that shit himself. Two guesses as to whether he made it to Congress.
#3. Alex Haley's Roots Is a Cocktail of Fact, Fiction, and Thievery
For some of you, the mention of Alex Haley's Roots might trigger gruesome flashbacks of Kunta Kinte, played by LeVar Burton in the TV adaptation, getting viciously whipped by his slave owners. However, Roots was a lot more than mere nightmare fodder for Reading Rainbow enthusiasts. A gripping saga that follows seven generations of the author's ancestry from Africa into the horrors of slavery and racism, the book earned Haley a special Pulitzer award in 1977.
And, like all great historical tales, it will likely be butchered in an upcoming History Channel special.
But while the book deserves praise as a cultural phenomenon, literary feat, and sobering reminder of humanity's messed-up past, there's another side to the story ...
The Plagiarism:
Roots was a curious hodgepodge of fact, fabrication, and complete thievin' dickery.
Haley was pretty open about making up parts of the book, often referring to it as a "faction." Still, the book's entire focus was the progression of a family's various generations from one bullshit event to another. Too bad Kinte, the most famous character in the book, was likely born decades later than Haley depicted and under markedly different living conditions. So different, in fact, that Kinte might not be related to the author at all. Alex Haley relied heavily on oral histories to substantiate his historical claims, which proved a problem when critics started pointing out the various inaccuracies of his story and possible gross liberties he took with the content of his research.

His family tree included Jesus and Superman up until the third draft.
But that's just general fuckery -- we're here for the plagiarism. Enter Margaret Walker Alexander, who sued the shoes off of Haley with the claim that Roots greedily gobbled passages from her book Jubilee, also a mix of historical fact and fiction documenting its author's ancestry. The court found clear evidence that Haley had been influenced by Alexander's book, but could do nothing: Alexander, who later claimed Haley may have stolen from hundreds of books, found to her shock that the six characters, roughly 150 verbatim expressions, and countless lifted themes Roots allegedly took from Jubilee were legally unprotected.
When another legal Roots shoe dropped, this time over passages stolen from Harold Courlander's The African, Haley didn't even bother arguing the case -- he just threw money at the problem until it went away.
And that, dear reader, is how you steal your way into history.

I'm struggling with Test::Unit. When I think of unit tests, I think of one simple test per file. But in Ruby's framework, I must instead write:
class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup

But setup and teardown run for every invocation of a test_* method. This is exactly what I don't want. Rather, I want a setup method that runs just once for the whole class. But I can't seem to write my own initialize() without breaking TestCase's initialize.

ROBINSON (December 5, 2012)--Several items were approved during Tuesday's Robinson City Council meeting.
$10,000,000 will be spent on water improvements alone after approval of the Sale of Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation Series 2012.
These improvements include the construction of a 1 million-gallon elevated storage tower along I35 at Loop 340 as well as other water improvements around the city.
Council members also approved a street construction strategy that will affect all city streets and provide for smoother surfaces.
Resurfacing is set to begin in the spring of 2013.
In other business, the council approved the finalization process for the construction of a new fire station along Strauss Drive next to the police department. Agreements still need to be reached between the city and volunteer fire department, a city spokesperson said.
The current fire station was built in 1955.
Work on that project is slated for 2013.

The department is tracking all crimes involving marijuana and analyzing whether dispensaries invite more problems into neighborhoods.
Some neighbors in West Seattle worry that medical pot clubs are luring in criminals, and now Seattle police are crunching the numbers to see if those fears are founded.
It's not Fort Knox, but one medical marijuana dispensary in West Seattle is built to withstand a small siege. Owner John Davis and his partners have taken extensive steps to safeguard their product.
"If you get robbed, not only is it bad from a business perspective, but you can lose the support of your neighborhood," Davis said.
Seattle police are now building a database of crimes involving marijuana with quarterly reports that stretch back to 2011.
While marijuana accounts for just a fraction of all crimes investigated in the first three months of the year, it still adds up to 247 incidents. Sixteen of those crimes involved marijuana dispensaries.
Seattle detectives have investigated 10 robberies and 14 burglaries tied to pot from January to the end of March, including one incident where robbers threatened to kill a man during a violent takeover robbery in May.
"They came in with their guns and told me to get on the ground and duct taped my face and arms behind by back and sat on top of me with a gun at my back," said Jason Semer.
Davis installed thick acrylic windows and demolition-resistant walls cored with kevlar so his dispensary doesn't lure criminals to the neighborhood.
"Even if you got behind this wall, you still would have a very hard time touching either money or cannabis," he said.
Davis welcomes the police database, saying it's a way to gauge how marijuana legalization affects public safety.
"We should have a baseline that we can measure against," he said.
Davis has never been robbed or burglarized, but a local detective said some dispensaries are broken into five or six times before police are called, which may skew the results in the database.

Attached is the message list for rank 0 for the communication step that is failing. There are about 160 isends and irecvs. The âmessage sizeâ is actually a number of cells. On some steps only one 8-byte word per cell is communicated, at another step we exchange 7 words, and another step we exchange 21 words. You can see the smallest is 10 cells, the largest around 1000 cells.
Thus for the 7-word communication step, the smallest messages are 560 bytes, the largest are 56000 bytes, and there is a distribution of sizes. For the single-word communication step, the size distribution would be from 80 bytes to 8000 and for the 21-word step it would be from 1680 to 168000 bytes.

It ran a bit longer but still deadlocked. All matching sends are posted 1:1with posted recvs so it is a delivery issue of some kind. I'm running a debug compiled version tonight to see what that might turn up. I may try to rewrite with blocking sends and see if that works. I can also try adding a barrier (irecvs, barrier, isends, waitall) to make sure sends are not buffering waiting for recvs to be posted.

Im not sure but there might be a case where the BTL is getting overwhelmed by the nob-blocking operations while trying to setup the connection. There is a simple test for this. Add an MPI_Alltoall with a reasonable size (100k) before you start posting the non-blocking receives, and let's see if this solves your issue.

COLLEGE STATION (November 15, 2012)—Missing Texas A&M freshman football player Thomas Linze Johnson, 18, has been found safe, university police said Thursday.
Thomas was found in the Dallas area at around 2:30 a.m. Thursday with the assistance of Dallas police and Texas Rangers, officials said.
Johnson, who was last seen Monday, was the focus of a search Wednesday evening as the Texas A&M Police Department sought the public's assistance in finding the 5-foot-11, 180-pound wide receiver.
Johnson was recruited out of Skyline High School in Dallas, where he earned All-District honors.
"All of us are obviously very concerned about the safety and well-being of Thomas Johnson, who has been missing since Monday evening," A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said in a statement Wednesday.
"Authorities are working closely with his family, friends and law enforcement agencies to help locate him," he said.
"Thomas is a tremendous student-athlete, greatly admired by his fellow teammates and all of us on the coaching staff," he said.

STEUBENVILLE - By 5 a.m., Sheena Fullen was just getting started.
Fullen, a self-admitted bargain lover, had been prowling Black Friday sales aisles since, well, Thanksgiving evening.
"I do it every year," the Wintersville resident said as a cashier at the Kmart store in the Tri-State Plaza tallied the damage she'd done to her bank account. "I like a deal. I've been doing it since I was a kid with my mom. I've missed one year, since I was like 8."

CHECKING OUT — Wintersville resident Sheena Fullen says planning is key to a successful Black Friday shopping excursion. To make the most of the incredible bargains, Fullen said you need to go into the stores knowing exactly what you're looking for.

TAKING A BREAK —Jennifer Durbin and her 14-year-old daughter, Ashley, take a break after shopping all night at the Fort Steuben Mall. The Durbins, Wintersville residents, are first-time Black Friday shoppers.

GREAT DEALS — Tabatha Owings and her husband, Aaron, say Black Friday deals are tough to pass up. The Owings, residents of Follansbee, stood in line two hours to buy a 32-inch HDTV, then hung around another six hours to grab a tool chest at the Weirton Wal-Mart.the incredible bargains, Fullen said you need to go into the stores knowing exactly what you're looking for.
-- Linda Harris
Shoppers poured into the stores Thursday, foregoing an extended holiday celebration for the annual holiday shopping rite of passage that offered deals too good to pass up like a 50-inch 1080p HDTV at Sears for just $299, the iconic iPad 2with Wi-Fi for just $399 at Wal-Mart, a 46-inch 1080p HDTV for $299 at Kmart, clothes galore at Macy's and J.C. Penney and crafty stuff at JoAnn's.
"People were lined up at the front of the store," said Donna Eastham, manager of Sears at the Fort Steuben Mall. "We gave out tickets, and even though they knew they weren't going to get some things they still stood in line."
How crazy was it? The "up" escalator filled up fast, so "we had people running up the down escalator," she said. "It was solid people."
Fourteen-year-old Ashley Durbin of Wintersville, a Black Friday newbie, couldn't help but smile as she looked at her mother, Jennifer, sitting beside her on a bench in front of Macy's in the Fort Steuben Mall.
"I nailed some deals," she said with pride, pointing to the bags stacked at her feet. "It's been fun, I think it's cool being able to shop at night."
Ashley said she's begged her mother to go "the past three years now and we never went. Finally, this year, we came."
"It's fun to be able to say we did it," her mother said. "It's become such a big thing now, we wanted to experience it."
Sears employee Jamie Cross finished her shift Friday morning and then did some shopping of her own before heading home to sleep.
Cross, a Wellsburg resident who was lugging a coffeemaker and a bag filled with clothes to her car, said the bargains were too good to pass up.
"I'm done for now," pronounced Jessica Clevenger of New Cumberland. "I've been out since 6 last night, that's when we started. I've got one more thing to go pick up, a TV, and then I'm going to go home and go to bed."
Jodie Strother, manager of the Steubenville Kmart, said the crowd had been unbelievable.
"I've been in this business for 22 years and I've never seen this volume of traffic on a holiday," she said. "We closed at 4 yesterday and reopened at 8 p.m. We stayed open until 3 a.m., then we closed again and reopened at 5 a.m. Our associates never once complained, they did what they had to do. We all know we're in retail and right now, retail's about winning customers and keeping them as customers."
Of course, it helped that retailers "made their sales so people couldn't stay home," Strothers said.
"It's all about electronics," she added. "We had people lined up to the Dollar Tree."
Fullen, though, concedes Black Friday shopping is not for the faint of heart.
"You've gotta' make a plan the day before, we do that on Thanksgiving in our family," she said with a quick glance at her watch. "You don't get in and out of a store in 25 minutes without a plan. You have to map out exactly what you're going to do."
Knowing the store layout "helps immensely," she adds, though adding that it's not foolproof since some chains have a propensity for tucking in-demand toys in the tool aisle and doorbuster tools in the toys aisle.
In Weirton, Aaron and Tabatha Owings of Follansbee were calling it a day after a nine-hour stint at Wal-Mart.
"We've been here since 8 last night," Tabatha said, admitting the 32-inch HDTV they'd picked up was too good a deal to pass up.
"And this bad boy," her husband said, cradling a Stanley six-draw rolling tool cabinet with an 85-piece socket set.
Tabatha Owings said it's their third year on the Black Friday shopping circuit.
"I say (we're done) every year, but we keep coming back," she said. "The deals you get draw you back into it. But the madness, it's aggrevating ..we stood in line two hours for a TV because it was half off, that was from 8-10 p.m., and then we had to wait to 5 a.m. to get the tool chest."

Friday evening's football game between South Milwaukee and New Berlin Eisenhower was a critical game for both teams seeking a spot in the playoffs. South Milwaukee was able to walk away with a hard fought 21-16 victory at Ike, keeping the Lions short of playoff eligibility.
Heading into the fourth quarter, the Lions were leading the Rockets, 10-7, but the Rockets had possession of the ball deep in Lions territory, and South Milwaukee quarterback Justin Oliden completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to Evan Marlowe for his second touchdown reception of the day and a 14-10 Rocket lead.
"I just was going to make a play," Marlowe said. "The offense was stepping up and I was going to make a play. I feel great. Those touchdowns let us win."
After a quick three and out on Ike's next possession, the Rockets had wonderful field position after the punt only reached the Lions 40-yard line. A series of runs from Brandon Dutcher brought the Rockets to the Eisenhower 19-yard line and set up a touchdown run from Zach Simuncak.
With four minutes left and the Rockets leading 21-10, the Lions were in desperate need of a good offensive drive. An 18-yard pass from Lions quarterback Charlie Sirek to Nick Taylor followed by a 15-yard penalty against the Rockets put the ball on the South Milwaukee 47-yard line and gave the Lions some momentum. Four plays later, Sirek found Nick Holicek for a 19-yard touchdown pass and cut the Rockets lead to five.
The Lions attempted a two-point conversion, hoping to set up a tying field-goal attempt later, but Sirek was chased down and the two-point conversion failed.
"The field goal is always a possibility and they have a good kicker," said South Milwaukee head coach John Galewski. "It was a good defensive stand, but I was glad that we still had the lead at that point whether it would have been three points or five."
Despite the failed two-point conversion, the Lions were able to recover their own onside kick to give themselves a chance to win the game. The drive started well with a run by Anthony Stewart down to the Rockets 35-yard line, but a fumble on the next play pushed the Lions back to the 48. After two completed passes for short gains, Sirek was chased down and sacked by Bryan Honerlaw to force a turnover on downs and effectively end the Lions comeback attempt.
"That was a huge play," said Galewski. "He had a number of big plays tonight defensively, and he hurt his shoulder a little bit in the first half and responded well and came back."
Said Eisenhower coach Jeff Setz, "We still had to kick the onside kick and get down reasonably close for the field goal if we would've gotten the two points but we had a couple of sacks and a couple fumbles that didn't allow us to get close enough even for a field goal so it really didn't matter."
Had Eisenhower won the game, both teams would have had a .500 record in the conference at 4-4, and while a playoff spot is not guaranteed for a .500 team, Setz felt good about his team's chances had they won.
"Chances are that we could've gotten into the playoffs. It's always kind of questionable whether .500 teams get in or not, but the way it looked on paper, we would've had a pretty good opportunity to be a part of the playoffs."
Eisenhower had taken an early lead on a field goal from Nathan Erickson before Marlowe's first touchdown gave the Rockets the lead. The Lions answered with a touchdown run from Stewart in the second quarter.
"We knew that it was going to be a physical game," said Galewski. "Eisenhower's a very good team, and we knew it would be a physical game, and I've been saying this to the guys as we've been going through the year here. They've come a long way."
Coupled with losses from Whitnall and Brown Deer, the Rockets earned a share of the Woodland Conference East Division title.

5 Random Coincidences That Invented Modern Pop Culture
The ancient Greeks believed that inspiration came from the Muses, goddesses who came down from Olympus to help common mortals create great works of art. But nowadays we know that creative minds get their ideas from pretty much whatever random shit comes their way.
This even goes for some of the most famous characters in recent pop culture history ...
#5. Stan Lee's Laziness Led to the X-Men
Marvel Comics
The hardest part of coming up with a new superhero is the origin story. You can't just have a guy in spider-themed pajamas shooting webs out of his palms with no explanation -- that would be ridiculous. There has to be this whole elaborate (and often grossly implausible) backstory about how he became who he is. And you have to put some thought into it, because you just know there will eventually be six or seven movie reboots covering that exact part of the story.
"Let's go realistic and gloomy for this one. Third time's a charm."
Well, the Patron Saint of Comics, Stan Lee, was all too aware of this when he was trying to develop a new team of heroes back in the early 1960s. How in the hell do you come up with a story for every one of these "X-Men" characters that explains how they all got different powers at once? So Lee said, and this is the actual quote:
"What if they were just born that way? Everybody knows there are mutations in real life. There are frogs that are born with five legs and so forth. I can get these guys to have any power I want. I'll just say, 'Well, they're mutants. They were born that way.' Nobody can argue with that!"
Sadly, Lee didn't go on to create Five-Legged Frog Man, but this is how we got basically all of the X-Men: characters with insane powers who have them just ... because.
Marvel Comics
The spirit of not trying would live on in every X-movie.
From there, it was easy -- Angel got his wings because Marvel hadn't made a character who could fly yet; Iceman came about because Lee wanted a second Human Torch, so he built a power based on the opposite of fire. And to quote the man on Marvel Girl: "I hated the name Marvel Girl, but I couldn't think of anything better." OK, maybe it's better sometimes to not know how your favorite things are made.
Marvel Comics
He did eventually come up with something better than Laser Dong.
Make no mistake -- these are some of the most beloved characters in comic book history, and it's specifically because of who they are. The X-Men are hated by the world purely because they were born different -- it's not hard to see why that resonated with fans. Who knows how things would have turned out if Lee had spent a whole weekend inventing various radioactive animals to bite each of these people.
#4. A Simple (Yet Creepy) Misunderstanding Gave Us Hannibal Lecter
Lots of crime novels and movies are vaguely based on real-life events -- a writer reads about some psychopath with a burned face murdering teenagers and thinks, "What if that guy had knife hands?" But the story of how Thomas Harris, the author of the Hannibal Lecter novels, came up with his most famous character is much creepier ... and totally random.
In the 1960s, Harris was writing for a magazine and was sent to a Mexican prison to interview Dykes Askew Simmons, an American inmate on death row for triple murder. Presumably his first question was "What the hell were your parents thinking when they named you?" Simmons, however, was not the model for Hannibal Lecter -- he was nothing like him.
The Evening Independent
"Well, for starters, I'm allergic to fava beans."
During the interview, Simmons told Harris a story about how he got shot by a prison guard, but his life was saved by a doctor. Wanting to get more details for his article, Harris asked to be taken to the doctor ("Dr. Salazar"), whom he naturally assumed was the prison's resident physician. If you're familiar with any of the Hannibal movies, you have some idea of what happened next.
No, that was when he left.
Rather than talk about the shooting, Salazar seemed more interested in manipulating Harris into psychoanalyzing Simmons, questioning the writer about Simmons' physical disfigurements, his victims, and "the nature of torment," a topic that rarely comes up outside of chats with murderers and truly disastrous first dates. Despite that, Harris admitted that the man had a "certain elegance" about him. After the meeting, Harris asked the prison warden how long Salazar had been working there, only to be told that the man was in fact an inmate -- one deemed too insane to ever leave. Salazar had been a surgeon who had used his skills to "package his victim in a surprisingly small box."
New Line Cinema
He was "inappropriate use of sporting goods" away from serial killer bingo.
Years later, Harris would write Red Dragon and use the idea of an insane, murderous doctor with a knack for understanding other killers as the template for his liver-munching psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. Of course, as often happens in real life, Salazar's actual story doesn't involve a spectacular escape that includes flaying guards alive. Yes, Salazar actually did end up getting out of jail, but he dedicated himself to providing medical assistance to the elderly until he died in 2009. Quick, somebody make a feel-good Silence of the Lambs sequel about that!
#3. A Glitch Led to Mortal Kombat's Ermac
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Ermac, Mortal Kombat's telekinetic ninja composed of dead souls, has a pretty complicated origin story, even by the standards of a series where an undead warrior shoots harpoons out of his hands. However, his real-life creation was a tad more mundane. Like many of us, he was a mistake, but unlike us, he didn't come about when his parents got drunk at a Ramones concert.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
"You're not even a real Kombatant. They adopted you from some traveling Street Fighters."
"M- mom!"
When series creator Ed Boon was programming the original Mortal Kombat, he kept a log of error macros, which he called "Ermac" for short. Developers include commentary not meant for public view in their code all the time, but "Ermac" accidentally found its way into a menu in the finished game. And, because the reference to Ermac appeared right next to references to Reptile (an actual hidden character), gamers naturally assumed that Ermac was an even more secretive fighter. Thus began gaming's most hilarious and/or saddest treasure hunt.
Remember, this was an era when, if you wanted to enjoy a game's secrets, by God, you had to work for them. Encountering Reptile -- the actual hidden character -- required players to win a flawless victory, without blocking, that ended with a fatality, on a specific level, while a silhouette passed over the moon (which only happened every six matches). Think about the sheer amount of repetition involved in discovering something like that. Now think about how far those same obsessive players were willing to go to find this other secret character "Ermac" that, oh, by the way, wasn't actually there.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
"Keep putting in those quarters. You guys are so close."
Ed Boon never denied the rumors, probably because he thought it was funny watching players drive themselves nuts trying to unlock a secret that didn't exist, but he knew that "Ermac" would have to exist in future games. Thus, the character was added for the game's sequels, and Ermac's backstory and abilities were even inspired by theories that fans came up with.
Although it would have been funnier if his only backstory was "he's an obsessive fighter with way too much free time on his hands."

5 Great Movies With Mind-Blowing Symbolism You Didn't Notice
#2. No Country for Old Men is About Retirement
Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
No Country for Old Men is a film about drug deals, sawed-off shotguns, and bad haircuts. So, why is it called that instead of something more appropriate, like, say, Anton Chigurh Kills Everyone? Because, despite being a little too violent for your grandma to watch, this is actually a movie about retirement.
Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
"This pension plan is bullshit."
For starters, freaking everyone in this film is retired or on their way to retirement. There's Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a "retired" welder and Vietnam veteran who spends his leisure moments hunting. There's Llewelyn's wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdoland), who works at Wal-Mart ... until Llewelyn comes home one day with a satchel full of money and tells her she's now "retired." There's Carson Wells (Woody Harrelson), a "retired Army colonel" hired to locate the aforementioned satchel full of money.
Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
Also retired: his hairline.
The primary antagonist of the film, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), isn't retired, but his "prime activity consists in 'retiring' or 'killing' other living beings." You know, like a Blade Runner, except one after retirees instead of Replicants. That's the reason why Chigurh cannot be stopped, never rests, and is seemingly unkillable. His job is only over once there are no retired people left in the country.
Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
All this time, he was just working for AARP.
Finally there's Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), the one law enforcement officer in the history of movies to announce to everyone that he's retiring soon and survive the film. Even then, Sheriff Bell isn't much help -- he's too slow to keep up at Chigurh's modern pace and never catches him.
As for the title of the movie, it's taken from the opening line of Sailing to Byzantium by William Butler Yeats, a poem that describes an aging man as "a dying animal" and "a tattered coat upon a stick." It's Yeats' personal ode to the end of things: old age, futility, and death. Keeping that in mind helps clear up a couple of scenes that probably made you wonder what the fuck they were about -- like the one where Sheriff Bell visits his old uncle (another retiree), who lives alone, surrounded by cats and drinking stale coffee.
Uncle Ellis is one of two potential futures for Sheriff Bell at that point, the other being "getting air-gunned through the forehead." In the end he decides to retire anyway, and in the last scene of the movie Bell asks his wife Loretta if she'd care to join him for a horseback ride. Her reply? "Lord, no, I'm not retired."
Miramax Films/Paramount Vantage
"Fine, I'll 'go riding' alone then. Can I borrow your hand cream?"
And while we're talking about the Coen Brothers slipping stuff by you ...
#1. The Big Lebowski is About (Metaphorical) Castration
Focus Features
The Big Lebowski is the Citizen Kane of movies, and a good lot of you could probably recite the entire screenplay from memory. In that case, you've probably noticed that the word "man" appears more times in this movie than the N-word in a Tarantino film -- and there's a reason for that. According to Rob Ager's film analysis, this Coen Brothers caper about White Russians and bowling also dabbles heavily in "the decline of the masculine male" ... or, you know, "castration." Say, remember the giant scissors in the Dude's trippy dream?
Focus Features
The scene also doubles as a recurring nightmare for lefties.
And the ones in Maude Lebowski's studio?
Focus Features
That's such a recurrent image because all the male characters in this movie have been castrated, in a way. Walter (John Goodman), for example, despite his zeal for firearms and militarism, is still a servant to an ex-wife who has clearly moved on from their failed marriage all the way to Honolulu. Not only is Walter wholeheartedly dedicated to this pathetic role, but any evidence of the contrary -- i.e., his Catholicism -- terrifies him.
Focus Features
That's why he treats his ex's dog better than anyone treats Donny.
The "Big" Lebowski, meanwhile, who clearly likes to present himself as the most powerful man in the movie, is literally powerless from the waist down. He's married to a trophy wife he can't control, is living off an allowance provided by his daughter Maude, and even his prior wife appears to have been the true wealth and power behind the Lebowski fortune. In the original screenplay, his last words after Walter drops him on the floor are "You bullies! You and these women! You won't leave a man his fucking balls!"
Focus Features
Another deleted line had him complimenting Walter's surprisingly shapely legs.
The rest of the men in the film helplessly squabble among themselves, trying to outdo each other's masculinity by urinating on each other's property, brandishing swords and pistols ... or literally threatening each other with castration. Meanwhile, others are so weak that they can prey only on the young and the helpless, be they teenage brats or 8-year-olds. Hell, even the legendary Arthur Digby Sellers would probably be dead without the care of his housekeeper Pilar.
Focus Features
If you ever wondered why this guy is in the movie, there's your answer.
In contrast, the women in this film are so powerful that they control the entire story. Bunny's "kidnapping" sets motion to the entire plot, and Maude is the one who helps the Dude solve it. Whether they like it or not. In short, the women in The Big Lebowski are veritable goddesses ...
Focus Features
For once, a Julianne Moore character that doesn't cry.
... and the men are losers who can only be measured by how intact their nuts are.
Focus Features
Which makes this the second most complex movie dick joke, next to The Sound of Music.

Limit page length. Web readers don't mind scrolling, but you shouldn't make it a mile long!
Writing content for the internet is not the same as writing it for a print publication. If you have a print document that you want to bring to the web remember this very simple rule: a page on the web should be half the length of a similar print document. 300-700 words is a reasonable average length for any online content.
What do you do if you have more than 700 words? It's simple. You need to look at the architecture of that content and break it down into sections, leading people to specific portions of the text as much as possible. Its your job as a web author to guide your site viewers to the content you want them to consume.
Content should not scroll longer than three full-page lengths, based on a monitor set to 1,024 x 768 resolution with the default font setting on browsers.
A page should have at the very least one paragraph of content.
Online readers expect a personal, upbeat tone in web writing. They find bureaucratic writing so offensive and out-of-place that they simply ignore the message it's trying to convey. To avoid bureaucratic language, turn the tone down a notch. Search out and destroy jargon.
Write in the active voice (We will customize the curriculum for your company.) rather than the passive voice (The curriculum will be customized for your company.) Active voice, which emphasizes the "doer" of the action, is naturally less bureaucratic.
Understanding that people read web pages differently than other media is key to writing and laying out content that will promote your relevant topics.
Think about reading a web page like reading a newspaper. When you pick up a newspaper, you don't start with the first word and read all the way to the bottom of the page like you would with a book, do you? Of course not.
You scan the front page for headlines that stand out, stopping on the ones that seem interesting and then you read through the related article. Or you see a headline for a story on Page 2 or another section entirely and turn the page to view that story immediately.
People approach websites the same way. No matter what page they enter on, they scan the page for something that will keep their interest. Headlines, bullet items, text formatting and clear navigation all help the scanability of your page. If they came looking for something specific, they are immediately on the lookout for more information about that topic of interest.
Write clear links. Don't create links that use the phrase 'click here.' Write the sentence as you normally would, and place the link anchor on the word or words that best describe the additional content you are linking to. Between one and five words is the ideal length for an effective hypertext link.
Use this worksheet to aid in your content creation process. Must have NYU NetID to access.
In order to achieve maximum search engine visibility, you need to think like a search engine when writing.
Search engines look at the HTML code that makes up your web page and attempt to parse out the text on the page, eliminating the HTML markup used for layout. The text goes into the search engine's database.
When a site viewer conducts a search on the search engine, the database is queried to identify all the pages that include those words on the page and/or in the links pointing to that page. So if your page does not include the words the site viewer was searching for, it is unlikely that your page will rank well, if at all. The same holds true when none of the links to that page include the words that the site viewer searched for in the link text (the clickable text that forms the link).
Once pages have been identified, search engines order the results according to relevance. Relevance can be determined based on dozens and dozens of criteria, such as keyword prominence (how often your keywords appear on a page, and where they appear).
The University uses the Chicago Manual of Style as its editorial guide.
New York University is a global network university with portal campuses and academic centers all over the world. Be mindful when writing that your audience is to address to the inside, knowing the outside is viewing. Prospective students do not want to read marketing spin, and they consistently ignore content specifically aimed at them. Instead, they seek content that is addressed at our current students in the hopes they find out "what it's really like." Thus, we endeavor to put our best content forward to our current students, knowing that there is a dual aim of prospectives also viewing it.

The Department of Highways prepared salt trucks earlier today for the expected sleet and snow.
Chief District Engineer Greg Meredeth says its always important to prepare for winter weather even if its not as bad as expected.
He says the department started putting salt brine out on the roads earlier this afternoon, and if needed will continue later tonight.
"In this particular case it looks like that we're right on the freeze line right around 32 degrees pretty much for the whole event so we're going to go on and be proactive and put the salt brine out on the roadways to help prevent any icing or precipitation from bonding to the pavement," Meredith says.
He hopes the roadways will be coated by the time the expected sleet starts falling.

MINGO JUNCTION -Hundreds of village residents gathered on Commercial Avenue Monday evening to usher in the holiday season with the annual lighting of the village Christmas tree.
The event included speakers, Christmas carols, a performance by the Indian Creek High School marching band and good cheer all around.
The annual event began with a welcome by Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin before the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of the national anthem, led by Jefferson County Commissioner Tom Graham.

MINGO JUNCTION LIGHTS UP — Emily Bickerstaff, 11, of Mingo Junction was one of several children who decorated the village Christmas tree during ceremonies Monday. The event on Commercial Avenue included carolers, speakers, a performance by the Indian Creek High School marching band and the lighting of the village Christmas tree. - Mark Miller
"We're all thankful you could be here tonight," said Hanlin, after which the Rev. Jim Dunfee, pastor of St. Agnes Catholic Church, led the invocation.
"You gave us the season to celebrate the birth of your son," said Dunfee, adding he hoped those attending would "remember the reason for the season," the poor and "to serve as Jesus did."
Village Mayor Ron DiCarlo then welcomed the gathering and praised village resident and event organizer Sophie Schoolcraft.
"May the Lord continue to bless us with her presence for the next 100 years," said DiCarlo, adding his thanks for all who participated in the tradition. "There's been a lot of work for all this to happen. May the good Lord continue to bless you all."
DiCarlo also thanked Village Council for purchasing the tree.
The lighting of the tree was performed by Dunfee; the Rev. Sam Davis, pastor of the Mingo Harmony Methodist Church; and the Rev. Kenn Sickle, pastor of the Mingo United Presbyterian Church. Children from Hills Elementary School sang a festive Christmas medley, including "O Christmas Tree" and "Holiday," while others decorated the tree with ornaments. The Indian Creek High School band also marched down Commercial Avenue decked out in holiday gear and performing a selection of holiday favorites beginning with an upbeat version of "Jingle Bells" before an appearance by Santa Claus himself.
Village resident Shawna Winland said the celebration was a positive way to begin the season and a boost to the community's morale.
"This is my first year being here," said Winland. "My little sister Addison (Winland) is in the Indian Creek band."
Winland also said she was there "because I feel I should support her, the town and what little we have here."
Sponsors also were thanked during the event, including the Wheeler Funeral Home, Lisa and John DiCarlo, Mingo Pharmacy, Graham and the Mingo Junction Volunteer Fire Department. Schoolcraft also thanked Dave Hindman of World Radio Telecommunications for his support for the Mingo Social Services organization.

Sencha Touch and PhoneGap problem with builds - Xcode not referencing changes
I have configured my STouch Phonegap project to have the www project subdirectory outside of the initial project directory so that I could make edits in an external editor (ColdFusion Builder based on Eclipse) for browser based debugging rather than alway running through the iPhone emulator.
Now even though I can see UI changes in the main application js source file I don't seem to be able to build these changes to show in the emulator. I have tried editing the source in xcode and saving to no avail. Also, touching the file and fiddling with the path type of the primary code folder (named 'remote').
I have also tried Clean All Targets and then rebuilt with no change in the behavior. Seems like it is still referencing an older version of the js source.
Any insights appreciated.
BC - resolved by renaming the web assets subdirectory to 'www' and now even splitting the project between web and other resources works fine.

I love how these Republicans (TheBlaze is ran by Glenn Beck) are always for the autonomy of businesses in the free market--that business owners should be free to decide what to do with their businesses and who they do business with--yet Bank of America does just that and suddenly the free market is a problem.

@Rev: yeah, I checked for other sources but only sites like that and "prison planet" came up.
Explicitly politically related, but mostly interesting because of how tenuous human memory is.
In the largest false memory study to date, 5,269 participants were asked about their memories for three true and one of five fabricated political events. Each fabricated event was accompanied by a photographic image purportedly depicting that event. Approximately half the participants falsely remembered that the false event happened, with 27% remembering that they saw the events happen on the news. Political orientation appeared to influence the formation of false memories, with conservatives more likely to falsely remember seeing Barack Obama shaking hands with the president of Iran, and liberals more likely to remember George W. Bush vacationing with a baseball celebrity during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. A follow-up study supported the explanation that events are more easily implanted in memory when they are congruent with a person's preexisting attitudes and evaluations, in part because attitude-congruent false events promote feelings of recognition and familiarity, which in turn interfere with source attributions.
I'm not buying it, though, so I'll stay barely informed.
I believe it. People are pretty dumb.
Poll Shows 25% Have an Opinion About a Totally Fake Budget Plan
Fuck democracy.So, for instance, respondents were asked whether they thought the election was legitimately won by Barack Obama, or stolen for him by ACORN -- the defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which was done in by the questionable undercover video stunts of conservative activists. Despite the fact that a group no longer in operation would probably have a hard time stealing an election, 24 percent of those polled said that ACORN was guilty (and Obama the beneficiary of a fraud); another 10 percent weren't sure.
This is perhaps understandable: Maybe the conspiratorially-minded believe that ACORN has not in fact dissolved, only gone underground. Less excusable, however, were the responses on deficit reduction. When asked about the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan, which proposes to restore budgetary balance through $2.9 trillion in spending cuts and $2.6 trillion in tax increases, 39 percent were willing to express an opinion: 23 percent supported it, and 16 percent opposed. So far, so good.
The trouble came when 25 percent weighed in on the "Panetta-Burns plan" -- a nonexistent proposal concocted by PPP, presumably in order to demonstrate that a surprisingly high percentage of people have no problem offering an opinion on topics they don't know the first thing about.
Read that as "pancetta." I'd blindly back a plan that revolved around pancetta.
Damn, someone actually got me feeling bad for Piers Morgan.
I love the old knife argument, as if a single stab is as lethal as a single bullet. Not that I'd want either, but at least you have a much better chance to survive a stabbing (plus knives have a terrible DPS against crowds).
They are comparable, the mortality rate from a single gunshot is around 16% and an ice pick wound is 14% while it's just above 13% for butcher knives. But all together the percentages are around 17% for guns and 5% stabs.
So it's not really a good argument against taking away the 2nd amendment, I mean why should we care about the constitution when we grew up being taught it was the the shit. FUCK YOU MOM AND DAD I'LL REPEAL ONE OR TWO IF I WANT TO.
I don't know man. 20+ kids and couple of adults just got executed at point blank range in an elementary school. Seemed close enough to get the job done.
