7 Winter Diet Tips Nutritionists Swear By
Prevent unwanted padding this season with the diet tips experts rely on to save their own waistlines
"The only way I've ever found success managing my weight is by eating lots of produce," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of "The Flexitarian Diet." "Fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients and fiber and the real waistline magic comes from their high water content, which makes you feel full."
This season, Blatner parks her cart in front of winter squash (she loves roasted butternut squash "fries" dipped in curry ketchup and loads up on spaghetti squash instead of whole grain pasta); grapefruits; pears; clementines; and hearty greens, such as collards and kale (she mixes raw thin ribbon-cuts with a quick dressing of tahini, lemon juice, warm water, sea salt, honey, and cayenne). Other great cold-weather options: broccoli, kiwi, celery, and Brussels sprouts.

which means I don't know what the page was about, since I might have a dozen SO tabs open at the time... all called this :/ .
Is there any way I can block "URL rewriting" on the Mac, unless specifically authorized by me?

WHEELING - The two men charged with murdering Kevin Figaniak each said the Wheeling Jesuit student initiated the fight that allegedly led to his death, a detective testified Thursday.
Ohio County Magistrate Joe Roxby found probable cause Thursday to bind the cases of Tyler Peacock, 22, of Clewiston, Fla., and Jarrett Chandler, 24, of Winnfield, La., over to circuit court for consideration by the next grand jury.
During Peacock's hearing, Detective Daniel Holmes testified Figaniak and a fellow WJU student were walking from Ye Olde Alpha to campus Aug. 31 when they encountered the defendants and Tyler Witty outside of The Owl's Nest. A verbal altercation ensued, and Peacock, Chandler and Witty followed the students 938 feet.

Tyler Peacock sits next to his attorney, Robert McCoid, during a preliminary hearing Thursday in Ohio County Magistrate Court.
Jarrett Chandler sits between his attorneys, public defenders Keith Hart, seated, and Shayne Welling during a preliminary hearing Thursday in Ohio County Magistrate Court.
"As they crossed the intersection of National Road onto Locust Avenue, the victim stated as he turned around he was either punched or thrown to the ground," Holmes testified. "And at that point, he covered his face with both arms and was attacked while laying on the ground."
Following the fight, a nearby resident saw the surviving victim trying to lift an unconscious Figaniak, Holmes said. The man saw Figaniak slip from his friend's grasp and fall from a seated position, striking his head on the sidewalk. The victim then offered the resident money to help return Figaniak to campus, Holmes said, and asked him to not contact police.
Holmes acknowledged the surviving victim was intoxicated on the night of the attack and provided a written statement of two barely legible sentences. Roxby sustained prosecutors' objection to defense attorney Robert McCoid's inquiry about Figaniak's blood-alcohol concentration.
Chandler told Holmes he was face to face with a man police believe to be Figaniak, when Figaniak shoved him.
"Mr. Chandler said once he was shoved he responded by striking Mr. Figaniak in the face," Holmes testified. "Chandler stated that Figaniak was knocked out and fell to the ground."
Holmes said Chandler and Peacock, who was fighting with the other WJU student, fled the scene with Witty. Witty hired an attorney and has not been interviewed by police, but a detective has searched his truck.
Peacock initially told Holmes he spent Aug. 31 at the Valley Grove campsite where he resided before his arrest. He later admitted to being in the fight after the detective disclosed he had video footage of him elsewhere, and that Chandler said he was with him that night. Peacock said Figaniak pushed Chandler, and Peacock was pushed by Figaniak's friend. Peacock and the surviving victim fought, and Peacock told Holmes "I may have or we may have" kicked someone on the ground, the detective testified.
Neither of the two defendants nor the surviving victim recalls why the men were arguing, Holmes said.
The coroner told Holmes one of Figaniak's three head injuries was caused by "some type of edge." Peacock was wearing square-toed cowboy boots on the night of the fight, and the coroner said such boots could cause that type of injury.
"I would suggest that there's a plethora of evidence to show that they had other-than-good intentions when they followed these two young men ... to the point where the attack took place, where Kevin Figaniak received the blows that took his life," said Assistant Prosecutor Gail Kahle.
McCoid called the murder charge "outrageous" and "ludicrous."
"There's no proof that Tyler Peacock did anything to intentionally take the life of Kevin Figaniak," McCoid told Roxby. "There's no evidence whatsoever in front of you to that effect."
Chief Public Defender Shayne Welling waived Chandler's preliminary hearing in exchange for the prosecutor turning over discovery materials prior to an indictment by a grand jury.
The defense normally does not have access to the state's evidence until after that occurs, but the grand jury does not convene until January. Welling is forbidden from sharing that discovery with McCoid.

Bennington's literature faculty is comprised of renowned novelists, nonfiction writers, essayists, poets, and playwrights. They are National Endowment for the Arts fellows, Fulbright fellows, and PEN Award finalists, and have been published in The New Yorker, Slate, The Paris Review, Yale Review, Tin House, The Literary Review, Chicago Review, Best American Short Stories, and The O. Henry Award Winners, among others.
Copy to share:
Seven Pulitzer Prize winners, three U.S. poet laureates, the youngest Man Booker Prize winner, a MacArthur "Genius," countless New York Times bestsellers, and one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people—this is Bennington's literary legacy.
Courses | Faculty | Undergraduate Writing Fellowships
Literature and writing at Bennington are grounded in the idea that good writers are good readers. Writing is an extension of and response to reading, and because the faculty are all renowned novelists, nonfiction writers, essayists, poets, and playwrights, you are regularly invited into a writer's perspective on classic and contemporary literature. Literature classes are generally small seminars centered on animated discussion.
The biweekly Literature Evening is held in a house living room, and features readings of student and faculty work, discussions, and guest readings and lectures. Field Work Term allows you firsthand experience in the world of book publishing, journalism, literary magazines, or an entirely different field to enrich your writing and your reading. Campus publications like SILO and The Bennington Free Press, and plain china, Bennington College's online student literary magazine, provide outlets for student writing and editing. Additionally, Bennington Review, a national biannual print journal housed at Bennington College, was relaunched in 2016.

FOLLANSBEE - Karen Mezan figures people who know her know she'd never slam her country, its flag or veterans.
So she wasn't quite prepared for the furor that erupted Wednesday when a passerby spotted the American flag flying upside down at half staff over the Follansbee McDonald's and posted a picture on the Facebook feed of a local electronic media outlet, triggering a frenzied response from Americans across the country.
Mezan, owner and operator of the Follansbee McDonald's, said the problem started when a pulley on the flagpole broke.
"We had a problem getting it down, it kept getting twisted," she said, adding that in the process of fixing it, the flag was inadvertently turned upside down. The upside-down flag went unnoticed by the restaurant's workers.
"We had the fire department here last night, trying to repair it," she said. "We did get the pulley repaired, but in the process they broke the cord on it. They'll be coming back this morning (Thursday) to fix it.
"It was not meant to offend anybody, it was definitely not anything like that," she added. "It was just an unfortunate mistake. If the guy had come in and told us about it, we would have taken care of it then. As soon as we knew, we went out and cut the rope and took it down."
Mezan concedes the timing couldn't have been worse, coming as it was on the heels of a hotly contested presidential election.
"Any other day it might not have been noticed," she said. "It's just unfortunate that it happened at the wrong time, the wrong day, the wrong moment, and it was just blown way out of proportion.
"We're an American corporation. We love America, we love our flag, we love our veterans, and the people here love us, they support us. People have been coming in all morning saying they support us, they know we're good people and we support our community and our country. They know we support all the clubs, the churches, the schools, veterans."

As a matter of fact, these two words are used a lot in mathematical contexts. Often, we use them interchangeably; but I do realize that that might not be correct. What should I do about this matter? To be honest, a student of mine has asked me about these two words and when to use each. Any help?

The difference in connotation is that we usually use suppose to make an assumption and let to make a declaration.
In mathematical writing, you may often replace suppose with assume or, more loosely, pretend that you already know or pretend that it is true. You can use it to specify a condition or allow for a hypothetical situation. For example, you may see something like,
On the other hand, to let usually means to set the definition. For example,
Often, you can use suppose in place of let, because you want the reader to assume a certain definition or notation. The converse does not always hold, that is, you cannot always use let in place of suppose.
Rule of thumb: Suppose is used for assuming the truth value of a statement or proposition. Let is used for assigning a mathematical value to a symbol.
"Suppose N is finite" has meaning while "Let N be finite" doesn't make sense. On the other hand, both "Let n = 1" and "Suppose n = 1" are acceptable, though the former is preferred. I can see a situation when you might use the latter.

What is the maximum number of lens the heads up display will shown in Ubuntu 12.10? I would like to know, and I am sure other would as well. I don't want to install more than allowable or usable.
I haven't heard of an existing limitation. I have seen screenshots of Dash screens with every available lens displayed, so I think you can install at least 10-15 lenses without running into problems.
Theres actually a way to resize the unity dash, once you open, you can click the maximize buttom in top-left of it. If you dont like it maximized, you can always Ctrl+Tab to navigate thru them once the dash is open.

CellEditor in EditorGrid looses content when you scroll the grid
I have an issue where a user enters some data in an EditorGrid cell. Then the user scrolls the grid without clicking anywhere first. Upon scrolling, the edited cell gets reset and the entered data is lost. I recorded this behavior using the GXT editablegrid sample:
recording: http://goo.gl/dqqhK
I am trying to prevent the entered data loss if the users scrolls. I have been experimenting with the CellEditor's onBlur(...) method, which is called when the users scrolls, but it seems that its FieldEvent argument has already lost the entered value. So the completeEdit() just stores nothing.
Is there any way that I can prevent that "data loss" when a user scrolls? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You should definitely check out Assembla, it has a lot of functionality and is constantly improving.
But what I like about it most, is that you can enable features on an as-needed basis, and customize each project ( workspace, as they are called on Assembla ) with only the features it needs. I used it for around three months for a collaborative school project, and was very pleased. I would definitely use it again.
Also there is github, as of recently it has most of the features that made me choose Assembla for the school project ( such as milestones, and the ability to create issues/tickets ).
Assembla is a lot more flexible and with more capabilities, and can be adjusted to your team's development style ( with SCRUM-specific features, for example ). I find github suitable for projects on which I'm the only developer, but I wouldn't use it for team projects.
Redmine fits your fuzzy description pretty well. It integrates a lot of functionality.
At the same time, all you want to do could easily be done with a spreadsheet in Google Docs.

Pharmacopoeial specifications
The US Pharmacopeia (USP) describes specifications for conductivity, total organic carbon (TOC), and bacterial endotoxin that WFI must meet. For years, USP only allowed companies to produce WFI through distillation. That process had a long history, and experts viewed it as a safe and robust method for producing water with a low bioburden. In the late 1970s, new language was adopted that enabled manufacturers to use reverse osmosis, provided the water met the same specifications. USP now states that, "WFI is water purified by distillation or a purification process that is equivalent or superior to distillation in the removal of chemicals and microorganisms" (1).Based on studies conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FDA concluded that reverse osmosis could produce WFI to USP specifications, provided that the process was operated adequately. FDA also recommends that the reverse-osmosis system be designed appropriately and include precautions such as regular sanitization and maintenance, and periodic validation.
In general, FDA seems to be concerned more about whether WFI meets USP specifications, and less about the type of process a firm uses to create the water, as long as it is based on sound science. "FDA requires that you have a validated system that demonstrates that you consistently make water meeting the specifications in USP," says Terry Munson, technical vice-president at consulting firm Parexel. "How you get there is not a major concern."
The Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP) has taken a similar approach. For more than a decade, it has allowed a combination of reverse osmosis followed by ultrafiltration as an alternative to distillation, says Gary Zoccolante, pharmaceutical technical director of Siemens Industry.
The European Pharmacopoeia (EP) contains the same specifications for conductivity, TOC, and endotoxin as USP does, but it requires firms to produce WFI through distillation. According to the document, WFI "is obtained from water that complies with the regulations on water intended for human consumption laid down by the competent authority or from purified water by distillation" in a suitable device (2).
The EP seeks to ensure that WFI is produced through a robust process. "Europeans don't consider reverse osmosis or equivalent processes to be a robust, proven process for long-term continuous removal of bacteria and bacterial endotoxins," says William V. Collentro, senior consultant for ConcordiaValSource. Distillation changes water from its liquid phase to its steam phase. "The Europeans consider the phase change to be extremely important," says Collentro, because it ensures that bacterial endotoxins, bacteria, and other nonvolatile impurities "are left behind with the water, ulitimately removed from the evaporator section by blowdown."

Just spotted a Reddit thread about Kim Dotcom, of MegaUpload fame, planning to produce a secure webmail system that allows people to communicate securely, without the worry of having their messages sniffed by three-letter agencies.
Considering the debacle over MEGA's crypto, this makes me nervous. Some people in the Reddit thread raised some important points too:
- If the site holds the private keys, the messages cannot be secure.
- Using localStorage is problematic due to lack of encryption.
- It's difficult to tell how secure the site is if it's a black box.
Are there any other major things to worry about with such sites? Are there any reasonable mitigations that allow for this kind of service to be viable?

1962 Ford Fairlane - Wolf In Grandma's FairlaneWritten by on March 1, 2010 Contributors: Josh Mishler Tom Wahl's '62 Ford Sleeper
Remember the fairy tale about the big bad wolf that disguised itself as a grandma to fool people? This is Tom Wahl's version of the story.
Practically all of Tom's cars have combined understated and elaborate elements. His pewter-colored '51 woodie wagon (which was featured in Custom Rodder in 2005) was not exactly low-key, but its extensive modifications were tasteful and consistent with the whole style of the car.
This time, he kept things more conservative-at first glance anyway. This one's a sleeper all right, and Tom will be the first to tell you (cheerfully, in fact) that this Wimbledon White '62 Fairlane 500 looks a lot like Grandma's Sunday driver-with some wheels and tires and a ground-floor stance. But start looking closer and you start to realize this is no meek and mild resto rod. The surprises start coming out of every corner, from the immaculate bodywork to the intentionally hidden craftsmanship underneath to the real eye-opener in the engine compartment.
Tom's story starts with the engine. It's startling to most car show spectators to peek under the hood and find a Ford Racing Performance Parts 347ci ASA sealed race engine staring back at them. Tom lives in Lakeville, Minnesota, which is also the location of Country Joe Racing, and the engine was one they had no plans for. These 347s, rated at 540 hp, are a high-performance circle track version of Ford's new Boss 302 block-which were introduced about three years ago and used in American Speed Association (ASA) and NASCAR late-model race cars. That's why many people are surprised to find one filling the engine compartment of a 48-year-old street car.
Once he had the engine, Tom needed a car to put it in. He wanted to build something light to take advantage of the 540 horses that would be pulling it. So began his search for a '65 or '66 Mustang fastback, but after a year of looking for, and not finding, a suitably clean car, he started considering other Fords.
"One winter night," Tom tells it, "while looking on eBay for a Ford to fit the motor, I found the perfect car by looking beyond the ad. The ad was for a '63 1/2 Ford Falcon two-door hardtop. But up in the righthand corner of the photo, I noticed a portion of a '62 Ford Fairlane 500 peeking out of a garage in the background. It looked to me to be all original, including the paint and the dog dish hubcaps. There was a phone number listed in the ad, so I called the guy and told him I was interested in the car in the garage, not the Falcon. He was a little surprised and his response was fairly emphatic. 'No, that car is not for sale. It's my next project!' After talking for about an hour, he was my 'new best friend.' We talked three times after that and within a week and a half, I was the third owner."
The Fairlane had been in California, but had migrated up to the Pacific Northwest by the time Tom spotted it on eBay. When the car finally got to Minnesota, Tom would see for himself that it was completely rust free and spotless. "It was in mint condition and had only 23,000 miles on it. When it was hand stripped, it looked like it had been stamped from Ford the week before."
Dennis Wothe at Quality Creations in Park Rapids, Minnesota, is the guy who turned Tom's '51 woodie wagon into the Goodguys Custom Rod of the Year in 2005, and also played a big role in the success of this Fairlane project, including much of the exterior work. Body modifications are few, but all the brightwork was reworked; the front Ford emblem and gun sights were removed, but much of the rest was kept. The worn chrome was stripped and redone, along with the stainless trim, with lots of hand polishing by Wothe. The nuts and bolts in the car are either stainless or chromed.
Scott Schneckloth at Snik's Rod & Custom in Manly, Iowa, also did some exterior work on the Fairlane, performing all the pre-paint prep. That included gapping all the seams. Sniks has contributed to a lot of high-profile cars; this one started out with immaculate sheetmetal and was even better when they were done, Tom told us. The fitment is much better than original. "The gaps are so perfect it's not even funny." Schneckloth also painted the car, matching the Wimbledon White it had worn since leaving the factory. Tom remembers Schneckloth calling him twice just to make sure that this conservative hue was really what he wanted. It really was.
There is one exterior clue that there might be more in this little white Ford than a trunkload of Grandma's groceries. We suspect Granny would still be running the factory steelies with the dog dish caps instead of these 20x8.5 and 18x7 aluminum rims from Schott Wheels. These are the Velocity style, rolling on low-profile Nitto radial tires measuring 255/45ZR20 and 225/35ZR18.
In addition to that upgraded powerplant and those fat tires, Tom modified the unibody chassis suspension for performance purposes. "I threw away the front and rear suspension," he says. A Mustang II-style front suspension was installed, including 2-inch dropped spindles, plus a sway bar. Tom chose Rod & Custom Motorsports' Falcon front end, which is narrower than the Fairlane version, and keeps the tires tucked into the fenders. Coilovers are from QA1 (front and rear) and the power steering is a rack-and-pinion setup. John's Industries in Caspian, Michigan, also known as the 9-Inch Factory, provided the Ford 9-inch, built specifically to the Fairlane with 4.11 gears, and a Tru Trac limited slip. The suspension includes a four-bar, countersunk into the floor to hide it and further drop the car, and a rear sway bar from Art Morrison. The front A-arms and rear four-bar have been ceramic coated in an aluminum color. Wilwood 11-inch disc brakes stop all four wheels.
As you'd expect, the interior was as pristine as the outside of the car, and most of the original components-right down to the dash knobs and bezels-required nothing more than some cleaning up. The factory seats have been reupholstered in the same color as the original interior. Joel Mattix at Boss Interiors in Evansdale, Iowa, used Ultraleather, with the inserts covered in multi-colored nylon in the style of the originals-except he added horizontal stitching perpendicular to the larger pleats. The door panels and console are original and unrestored, and the floor was covered with Mercedes-style carpeting. The only obvious departures from '62 are the shifter, the leather-wrapped Budnik steering wheel, the Auto Meter tach on the top of the dash, and the flip-down gauge panel below. Dennis Wothe rewired the Fairlane, using a lot of the original wires. He was able to skip wiring the A/C because there isn't any ... yet. There also isn't a stereo. "The radio delete dash plate is worth more than most stereos," Tom says, "and I'd rather listen to that motor than any radio."
Telling Tom's story in a national magazine probably spoils the sleeper status of his more-than-meets-the-eye Fairlane,.but there might be a few folks left who don't know the true identity of this wolf disguised as Grandma's car. Won't they be surprised?

The factory gauges work fine, but a panel of aftermarket gauges assure Tom that he has accurate readings of volts, water temperature, and oil pressure. Dennis Wothe built the panel to flip up under the dash when not needed.Joel Mattix at Boss Interiors found trunk material that Tom says is similar to the original, but nicer. Wothe widened the original wheel tubs for the bigger tires, but retained the factory curves and indents so that, like everything else, the upgrade is very subtle.

Update A Dresser In 2 Hours!
Sometimes projects are HUGE. They take a crapload of time and effort. And while they are usually worth it, sometimes you just want something simple. Did you know that you can literally update a dresser during naptime?!
Here is the skinny.
I found this dresser on AZ Craigslist. After a late night trip to a sketchy part of town (that may or may not have involved Jilly having a heart attack while almost witnessing a stray cat being hit, which in turn gave the rest of us a heat attack thinking she was being carried away by drug lords or possibly someone cutting off her favorite finger. That girl can scream)
Anyway back to the dresser. It was $75 and in GREAT condition.
The one downside was that the outer shell of it was laminate. Now, normally I am not a huge fan but it was fairly realistic looking laminate and (like I mentioned before) it was in great condition. So we went with it.
Because we already had a lot of wood in Kelsey's room (on the wall and on the sliding barn door) this happy little dresser got a quick update just by painting the drawer fronts!
The first step is to make sure the piece is clean. Depending on the level of grime you might need to use a strong cleaner like TSP.
When its clean and dry you are ready to start! Meet your best friend. This is Kilz. It is hands down THE BEST primer on the market, especially when it comes to laminate pieces. The key to using Kilz is to shake shake shake (for a good 2 minutes) before you spray. If you don't it will come out sandpapery and you will have to sand it smooth.
Once your primer is dry (usually between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the temperatures outside) give it a quick once over with 220 grit sand paper. This will make it silky smooth and make it look uber professional.
Wipe your piece down with a slightly damp rag or tack cloth to get all of the sanding dust off (if you skip this step you will have an epic spray paint fail FYI. So don't forget!!)
Give your drawer fronts 2-3 good coats of spray paint. If you have read any of my posts about spray paint you know that I am a Krylon fan until I die. I have a few reasons I love it, let me share them with you.
1. The nozzle. Its life changing folks. Instead of spraying in a circle like most brands it sprays in a line AND it rotates. So if you are moving your can horizontally across your piece you want to make sure that your nozzle is turned to spray in a vertical line. That way it is covering a much larger area. I feel like I have WAY more control with a can of Krylon.
2. Krylon cures very quickly. If you are spray painting a piece of furniture chances are you like things done fast. There are some lines that take HOURS to cure. It is SO frustrating when you have given it adequate time and in all of your excitement pick it up and its still tacky (the one bonus to that is, if you ever go missing and the cops need your fingerprints you can bet your hoard its perfectly impressed into that lamp.)
3. The color selection! Krylon has SO many on trend colors to choose from AND if there is one that you cant find check out this post I wrote a while ago on how to get the top secret colors you cant find anywhere else for FREE!
As much as I loved the white and wood, this thing needed a little bit more flair. And tell me my friends, what can add more flair than bright pink?
To "color dip" a piece like this all you need is a roll of ScotchBlue and some paint (we used a sample pot from Lowes, just like I used on the Leather Belt Dresser Pulls)
Start by removing the legs if you can (it just makes it a little easier to work with). Hailee being the genius she is found a piece of Styrofoam to hold our legs
Simple and impactful my lovies.
I wanted the dresser to be super complimentary to the rest of the room without trying to steal the show. Sometimes that is what you need out of a piece of furniture.
Everything in the room cant be the star, but just because something isn't the star doesn't mean it needs to be generic or dull.
Did you notice the red lamp that we got for $5 from Serg?
I LOVE how this dresser turned out, and can you believe it was such a simple project!? Do you have something that could use a 2 hour update? I want to hear all about it!

Working Moms-to-Be: How to Remain Professional When You're Not Feeling Well
Here are a few general tips on how to remain professional if you find yourself not feeling well or if you're too uncomfortable to continue activities that involve coworkers:
- Try to sit near the door at all meetingsformal and informalso you can slip out unobtrusively should the need arise.
- If you're in a small meeting and cannot slip out, always excuse yourself and leave, rather than suffering through the meeting. If you stay, you'll be unable to concentrate, your coworkers will probably notice that something is wrong, and you may disrupt the meeting. While most coworkers will understand, some will not. Always be as professional as possible. If you re giving a presentation, use this as an opportunity to take a short breath. Tell your coworkers to take a minute to grab a cup of coffee, stretch, and so forth.
- Keep a box under your desk, and if possible, put your feet up while working. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
- Always be prepared. Keep an emergency kit with supplies in your desk. The list in Creating a More Comfortable Workspace During Pregnancy will provide you with a complete list of what you might need.

TORONTO - Alumni, staff, students and fans will get their final chance to say goodbye to the gymnasium that's served the high school since 1939 with a special program dedicated to the gym's history during a basketball game at 6 p.m. Feb. 23.
The Toronto Red Knights will take on the Wellsville High School Tigers.
The game and program, which will be broadcast live on the school district's website, at www.torontocityschools.k12.oh.us, will feature distinguished alumni, special guests and a celebration marking the gym's legacy, according to Maureen Taggart, high school principal and district communications coordinator.

ERA ENDING — Toronto High School is getting ready to celebrate its last varsity high school basketball game in the George J. Kunzler Memorial Gymnasium beginning at 6 p.m. Feb. 23.
-- Mark J. Miller
"Feb. 23 will be the last home basketball game ever played in the George J. Kunzler Memorial Gymnasium," Taggart said. "Because it's the last home game ever, we're hosting a special program called Lights Out Knights."
Taggart said the evening will include past players and coaches who distinguished themselves in Toronto sports history and "to be there for that final game."
"It's been a truly humbling experience talking to some of these (Toronto sports) alumni who were involved in basketball over the years," said co-organizer Andy Reeves, Toronto High School athletic director. "People that deserve the recognition don't want the accolades. They feel they owe it to Toronto to be there that night regardless if they are mentioned. They are saying that this is something bigger than themselves."
The gymnasium was built as an addition to the high school in 1939, while the school itself was built in 1925. In February 1973, the gym was named after George J. Kunzler, a Toronto sports legend, according to Taggart.
"He was a lifelong Toronto resident, and he worked in the Toronto School District for 43 years as a teacher, coach and athletic director," she said. "He also was an outstanding player in his own right. He was the captain of the baseball, basketball and football teams. He passed up a professional baseball career to return to teach at Toronto."
Former coaches, 1,000-point scorers and other Toronto basketball alumni will be recognized, along with a pep band performance and students singing the national anthem, Taggart said.
"We're also going to do a ceremony where senior boys and girls varsity players cut down the nets before the lights are turned out for the last time," said Reeves.
Those attending will receive a commemorative event ticket and event program while supplies last, said Taggart. Tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students and can be purchased at the gate.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Finally i did find an hack for this problem
Make the field fullname, confirm password as display:none
Bind the data from username to fullname and from password to confirm password
For eg ( a simple binding example )
Do the above for your criteria I dont know whether its a perfect solution, but this solves my problem.

How to characterize the speed of a divergent series ? I have a divergent series with a parameter $x$ in it. How can i characterize the speed of divergence for different $x$ ?
This is related to Hausdorff's "Pantachie" problem. Suppose $x_i$ is a monotone decreasing sequence whose sum is divergent. We say that a similar sequence $y_i$ diverges slower if $x_i/y_i \rightarrow \infty$. Example: $\sum n^{-1}$ diverges slower then $\sum n^{-0.5}$.
Similarly, if $x_i$ is a monotone decreasing sequence whose sum is convergent, a similar sequence $y_i$ converges more slowly if $y_i/x_i \rightarrow \infty$. Example: $\sum n^{-2}$ converges more slowly than $\sum n^{-3}$.
Hausdorff proved the following theorem: For any sequence of divergent (convergent) series, there's a sequence diverging (converging) slower than any of them. That means that there is no "expressible by finite strings" characterization of the speed of divergence (convergence), since such a characterization would not allow any series which is diverging (converging) slower.
For more on the subject, look up Hausdorff gaps.
I guess 'big O notation' and its relatives are what you're after, or something like that?
If $(a_n)$ is a sequence with $a_n \rightarrow \infty$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$, then this notation defines statements like $(a_n) = O(n^2)$, formalising the idea that "in the long run, the sequence $(a_n)$ grows no faster than the sequence $(n^2)$".
(The use of '=' in this notation is slightly confusing: the precise statement doesn't assert that any two things are equal.)

In my experience I find that opponents with elemental weapons fares way better towards me (I'm lvl 61, using a +5 Channeler's trident with 50 INT) than those that don't.
Is it better to have a scaling B, A or S rank weapon and pump levels into needed stat or have an elemental (fire or elemental) weapon when doing pvp?
How about Chaos weapons, is it worth farming up to 99 humanity?

Taurens are…
Big, slow and kinda bovine.
Larisa will at the very least shake her head and utter.
I knew this would turn into a Druid blog
At worst she will KoS.
Anyway back on what will undoubtedly be a rambling convoluted track.
I was overcome by a strange desire.
Last night while working from home to bring my Tauren Bear out of hibernation on the Khaz'Goroth server and partake in some "free" xp while I alt-tabbed between work and flight paths, courtesy of Hallows End candy.
Getafix has been hibernating since about 6 months prior to TBC. I woke my 57 Druid up in the Org AH. Nothing had changed, even the food in his backpack was fresh.
My observations returning to a Tauren Druid from a Gnome Mage.
- Taurens are big, Gnomes are short.
- Taurens are slow, gnomes are speedy.
- Taurens get caught on doorways, Gnomes get caught in cracks.
- Normal land mounts are frustratingly slow, epic flying mounts are joyfully fast.
- Gnome Mages Blink and Port, Tauren Druids do not.
- Gnome Mages Polymorph mobs into cute critters.
- Tauren Druids polymorph themselves into cute (but deadly) critters.
- Bears do have big butts… in fact, big everything!
- Getafix is now spec'd Resto. The spec for your benefit being 0/0/0 (not sure how Blizz figures that this is Resto, but I notice my Hunter spec'd 0/0/0 is survival).
- Tauren Druids NEED more than one tool bar, Gnome Mages only need one, but might have two for tricks.
- Horde Inns are a long way from flight paths, Alliance inns are comfortably located for frequent flyers.
- A wisp is blue-white, a hearthing wisp (1st time I have seen this) is green.
- Horde live in different cities and towns, so knowledge of Alliance inn locations is useless.
Back to Gnome
Back to Gnome who is well on his way to becoming a Hallowed Gnome (is that as cute as hello kitty?). All I need now is some kind people to point their wicked wands at me and transform me.
Not once have I been transformed!
I know I'm cute, but do a Gnome a favor – wand me to Hallows and back! If you are reading this from Aman'Thul, feel free to drop me a line Friday night about 8.30pm AEST and transform me. I know Tree Hugger Dave has a random wand lined up for my Hallowed pleasure, but anyone is welcome to assist me with my 1st (and possibly last) title.
Where was I before I started begging?
Oh, yeah, Gnome was feeling a little jealous of Getafix, so he joined the Horde (maybe so he could sneak into Org and catch up with his owner, but that's another story).
A Gnome in Horde clothing
Orc… With Gnome whiskers? A female Orc whats more. Even Orc guards would see through that disguise.
Ahhh, let's get back in the good books, if he wants to play a Tauren, let's give him a Tauren.
Mmmm, why bother, if the way to a man's heart is through their stomach, give the man pumpkin.
How about a bit of Whey to go with the blood curdling dreams of the Headless Horseman? (I can't remember which blog I read about this on, but thanks for the heads up on the best mana food (yep food) this side of WoLK).
How to: Druids?
Ok, nearly done. If any Druid fans are out there, I am contemplating taking my Druid out of the closest more regularly. Chances are that Getafix won't hit 70 this side of the next expansion (the one after WoLK, if I can't get a twink from 17 to 19, what hope does my Druid have?), but I might take him out for a walk occasionally.
So, thinking of something for BGs, something feral, but healy. Know of any specs, guides etc for level 57+ that might inspire me? I know there are some great blogs out there, but I am feeling lazy and don't want to start on page one.
Should I transfer Getafix to Zupa's server and kick his maggot eaten butt into action?
Twink doesn't get to party
Ohhh finally, spewing my twink can't participate in Hallow's End (too much XP involved), how cool would a level 19 Warlock with a pumpkin head in WSG be?
Enough (too much maybe)…
Back to Gnome Mages…
Gnomer and Out!

Why is it that in most Operating Systems the "Inverted Colors" display setting is considered an accessibility feature? Both Windows and OS X includes this option so it seems to be a recognized feature, not a vendor specific quirk.
I understand that some users are color-blind. This would justify the Black & White, or grey-scale modes. What I don't understand is how or why does inverting the display color help someone with any specific, visual impairment or dysfunction.
As a programmer that wants to understand the need so that I can develop better, accessible software, what purpose does this feature serve to the end user who has some form of visual impairment?
I asked this question quite a while ago, however, it just dawned on me-- I think I am one of those individuals that this feature was designed for. I almost always try to keep the contrast reversed from the typical settings for my text displays. I hate white backgrounds with dark text! As a coder, all of my textual GUIs are black with green text. This isn't just a throwback to the old monochrome, green screen days. The pairing of the two colors is quite comfortable to my eyes. However, stairing at to much black-on-white actually hurts my eyes from some form of eye strain.
I mention this in an update because the color inversion feature is not useful.. it's annoying! As someone who needs a good feature like this, it's a shame that all implementations that I have ever seen are just a poor attempt at solving a problem. I would hope that Apple, Microsoft and others have done their research but I'm guessing that's not the case. This was probably an ill-thought of feature 10+ years ago, and they just continue to provide so their is no loss of functionality.
Developers, if you want to help people who need such a feature as to prevent eye-strain, find ways to change the text and page background, not the entire display! It just looks hideous and is just as offensive to the eyes. Especially when you tend to set background images on your display to darker colors. You can invert the coloring in word processors, text boxes and other text based devices.
If you really wanted to get creative, find a way to lightly color correct images, rather than inverting them. Decrease the contrast or decrease the brightness of images in a very subtle manner.

A 12-year-old girl is found murdered at an archaeological site at the center of a controversial highway construction project. Katy Devlin was a popular girl who had recently been accepted to the Royal Ballet School; her father is an outspoken opponent of the new roadway. But what haunts Detective Rob Ryan about this case is its location: the quiet town of Knocknaree, Ireland -- in the very woods where he used to play as a child.
Twenty years ago, a young Rob and his two best friends went into the woods, chasing each other, playing in a castle of ruins. But they didn't return to their homes at sunset. A search party was dispatched to canvas the woods, finding only a catatonic Rob clawing at a tree, his clothing ripped, his shoes filled with blood.
Detective Ryan has always guarded this secret of his past, but the recent murder forces him to reveal it to his new partner, drawing them closer together in the search for the perpetrator. Is there a connection between Rob's childhood trauma and Katy Devlin's murder? And is Detective Ryan prepared to confront the secrets that lie deep in those woods? Suspects abound in this fast-paced mystery -- a stunning debut that examines the complexities of the human mind and the cost of discovering the truth. (Fall 2007 Selection)

Just wanted to clear my understanding on RAID 5, suppose we have 100 GB of data to be stored in SAN in RAID level 5, does the actual storage means 100 *5= 500 GB ?, or it is the 100 GB only which is stored in different 5 dsiks? please make me understand. Thanks
If I'm reading your question correctly, you are asking how the 100GB of data would be stored on the RAID 5?
RAID 5 works by striping data across multiple disks (must be at least 3 disks), and also performing a parity calculation. For this reason, a RAID 5 is excellent with Read speeds, but slow for Writes.
Your 100GB of data will be written across all disks in a RAID 5. In addition to that, a parity calculation will be performed across all of the data, and distributed across all of the disks in the array. This way, if any single disk fails, all of the data that was on it can be re-created from the Parity information.
However, the parity calculation does increase the space required to store the data. In a 3-disk array, 100GB of data will actually consume 133GB. In a 4 disk array it would be 125GB. But that's not really important - all that's important is that you remember that in a RAID 5, your available space is N-1. 100GB will look like 100GB - the additional space required is already calculated in to the extra drive in the array.
Does that help?
Wikipedia actually has a really thorough walk-through on RAID technology and raid levels.
The REALLY short version is it combines several physical hard disks and creates one(or more) logical hard disks, that can be configured to backup each others data across multiple hard drives, or to span the entire group.
Raid5 is N=(N-1), so if you had 5x 100GB disks, You'd have a 400GB group.
It's simpler than that;
Total storage used = space + (space/disks); i.e. 100 + (100/3) = 133, meaning 44 per disk in a three disk R5 array.
Note that the number 5 in RAID5 has nothing to do with the number of disks involved.
It's just a name of this specific setup, which distributes parity information across all disks. You need a minimum of 3 disks, but can use an unlimited number of disks theoretically (in practice, this number is constrained by RAID controller limits). Total space you get from the array corresponds to S * (n-1), where S is the size of the smallest disk, and n is the number of disks.
For example, 4 disks of 1Tb will give you 3Tb of usable space in RAID5.
Wikipedia explains how the setup works in more detail.
Check this one out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_5#RAID_5 Available disk space is shown there.
The actual storage means 100*4 because 1 disc is used to store block. For more info check out the following links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID http://compreviews.about.com/od/storage/l/aaRAIDPage1.htm

Everybody knows that equality is reflexive: $\forall(x)(x=x)$. But should reflexivity of equality be taken as an axiom of logic or as a theorem of set theory?
If you choose the former then you probably need the axiom of extensionality: $\forall(x)\forall(y)(x=y\leftrightarrow\forall(z)(z\in x\leftrightarrow z\in y))$.
If you choose the latter then probably $x=y$ is just an abbreviation for $\forall(z)(z\in x\leftrightarrow z\in y)$.
What I'm trying to do is to write down proofs for basic facts about set theory, but I'm not so sure which logical axioms and rules of inference should I take for granted.

Bennington, VT 05201-6003
By Patrick McArdle, Staff Writer
BENNINGTON, VT – More than 80 Bennington students and staff members spent a recent Saturday pitching in around town as part of the Bennington ACTS annual day of service.
Emily Mikucki, of Carmel, NY, a senior studying biology and Spanish, was one of the leaders of a project that included preparing holiday decorations to be hung throughout Bennington's downtown and putting up lights at the Fountain Memorial Park on South Street.
Mikucki, a student residential house chairwoman on the college's campus, described Bennington ACTS (Advocating for Community Through Service) as an effort to "get as many Bennington College students out into the community as possible." The goal for Saturday was to have 100 student volunteers participate in the event and the college almost reached that goal, Mikucki said.
While about 35 students were helping the Better Bennington Corp., an agency dedicated to promoting the downtown, decorate the park next to its South Street offices, others were working on creating collection boxes and fliers to collect items for Hurricane Sandy relief and another group was preparing food for members of the Bennington Rescue Squad, prior to cleaning the squad's building.
Closer to home, some students were doing a cleanup of the trails on Bennington College's campus, Mikucki said.
"Yeah, we have a lot going on. It's something that we're really dedicated to back at the college, trying to get people out and about and promoting service, really trying to make connections," she said.
Catherine Murley, of Sanford, ME, a sophomore who is studying earth science, said she chose to be part of the group hanging lights in the park because she "really likes the way towns look after the Christmas decorations" are up.
"I feel like it's a very festive, spirited thing," she said.
Providing materials and directions for the students, John Shannahan, executive director of the Better Bennington Corp., said that what happened on Saturday was a big project that wouldn't have been done without so many volunteers.
Murley said she and others appreciated Shannahan arranging a visit on Saturday from Santa Claus. While she acknowledged the students were young adults, they liked having the reminder of childhood and having their efforts rewarded with a little fun, she said.
Kenny Olguin, of Whittier, CA, a junior taking dance, psychology, and French, said he wanted to be part of the group at the park because other members of his on-campus house community were there. They thought it would be fun to work together, he said.
But even in a large group, Olguin said he got to play a part.
"It's been really hectic, actually, and I thought I wasn't going to have a lot to do because there was so many of us, but it's been really wonderful that there has actually been quite a bit set aside for us to do for the community in these few hours," he said.
Giving the students a chance to be part of the community, as Bennington did, was something Olguin said he appreciated.
"To have a community that is as tightknit as Bennington allow and welcome students to give back, it's nice. Because you're studying in college, you're doing a lot of work that deals with what you're interested in, so it's refreshing to do something that's not for yourself," he said.

11 Everyday Things That Are Terrifying Under a Microscope
#7. Moths and Butterflies
At Normal Size:
Butterflies are the most adorable insects in the world. Their gossamer wings are beautifully painted like stained glass windows. Moths aren't nearly as pretty in general, but some, like the luna moth, are downright gorgeous.
Muhammad Mahdi Karim, Shawn Hanrahan
They're like little haikus with wings.
But Up Close ...
Butterfly Conservation
We're seeing some similarities with the sperm closeup here.
Why, nature? Why would you give something so beautiful such a terrifying face? It's like the Fergie of the animal kingdom. Why does it have feathers on its face? And 5,000 eyes? What living creature benefits from having innumerable hideous, terrifying eyes stapled all over its head?
Their faces aren't even any cuter when they're babies, which is normally a rule of the animal kingdom. Here's what a caterpillar looks like up close:
Science Photo Gallery
"Good afternoon, I'm Putrid P. Scrotum, and I'd like to sell you some life insurance."
#6. The Human Eye
At Normal Size:
When you meet someone for the first time, their eyes are one of the first things you notice -- and for good reason. We use them to express emotion and establish who we are speaking to, and to catalog suitable entries in our mental Encyclopedia Masturbatana:
#106, "Iron Eyes."
But Up Close ...
Science Photo Daily
It looks like the blast wave of a cotton candy nuke.
This is a real photograph of a human eye, via electron microscope. The blue part is the pupil, and that twisted orange horror-custard is the iris. But from this angle, it looks like those dead elf marshes from The Lord of the Rings, or something Dante and Virgil had to row across to avoid winged sentries wielding brimstone spears forged from hatred.
#5. Your Eyelashes
At Normal Size:
You see eyelashes pretty much as often as you see eyes. Heck, we even make wishes off of stray ones.
Eyelashes are basically just hair anyway, right? Surely there's no terrifying sight to behold here, how bad could hair possibly be?
But Up Close ...
It isn't the lashes so much as the tiny creatures that live inside them:
Science Photo Library
That itching sensation on the back of your neck is perfectly normal.
Those are called Demodex, and they're mites that live on everyone's eyelashes. They feed off of the dead skin cells and oil that collect in your follicles. Those are actually just the asses of several Demodex, which is a small portion of the whole beast:
Science Photo Library
Nature doesn't generally look so ... flaccid.
Demodex actually come out onto your face at night to breed, and then return to your follicles to lay up to 25 eggs. To repeat that for emphasis, they fuck on your face and lay eggs inside of you.
#4. Solitary Bee Larva
At Normal Size:
A solitary bee is any bee species in which all females are fertile, so it covers a number of different bees, but all of their larvae look similar, sort of like cute pudgy worms:
Washington University Biology Department
"Maggotlike" might be more precise than "cute."
But Up Close ...
American Museum of Natural History
"I am always hiding under your blankets."
The existence of this is actually astounding because it proves two very important things: 1) There is a God and 2) God has a buddy who bet Him a ton of God-money that He couldn't make a creature entirely out of gray scrota.
Its face is shaped like a human skull, and it has tiny mouth-hands to drag you kicking and screaming into its gaping maw, which looks to contain a gateway to the endless eternal blackness of a starless galaxy of despair. But really, all the horror stems from its beady, soulless eyes, firing a hideous dead gaze that bores through your retinas and rips your mind in two. And then, it feeds. It feeds.
#3. Dental Plaque
At Normal Size:
Plaque is that gunk that forms on your teeth when you don't brush and/or are British. And to be honest, it already looks pretty disgusting at normal size:
"Do you just, like, gargle coffee?"
But Up Close ...
Your dentist has probably told you that plaque contains a lot of bacteria, but dentists are awful and manipulative and untrustworthy. Cracked? Cracked is trustworthy. You listen to Cracked.
It's full of bacteria. Like, full. Plaque is 100 percent composed of bacteria and "bacterial products," which is the pleasant way of saying "bacteria poop." So you have a fine, pasty mixture of bacteria and shit on your teeth, and if you don't brush, it just builds and builds.
Science Photo Library
Eventually, it starts building societies.
It doesn't take long to build up into a thick layer of biofilm that coats your teeth like whitewash (brownwash?). As this video shows, eight hours is enough time for bacteria to spackle your pearlies with microscopic turds.
#2. Aphids
At Normal Size:
Aphids look like little green watermelon seeds, and really aren't any more horrifying than the average insect. They congregate in large groups, but that's the scariest thing about them:
Integrated Crop Management
The ant is apparently crowd surfing.
But Up Close ...
Under an electron microscope, aphids look like high level dungeon beasts guarding the Throne of the Universe:
The Telegraph
He's eating an ice cream cone made of his own face.
That completely scientific description isn't terribly far from the truth. Ants bend aphids to their whim, herding them like cattle and even milking them (you may recognize this sentence as the literal definition of insanity). It wouldn't be surprising to see aphids patrolling the halls outside of the queen ant's throne room, looking to rend unwary adventurers limb from limb.
#1. Squid Suckers
At Normal Size:
Squids are essentially the birds of the ocean. They have beaks, they are formidable predators and there are species large enough to eat just about any damn thing in their environment.
If they could fly, we'd already be extinct.
As most people know, the tentacles of a squid are covered in suction cups, sort of like those Garfield dolls you can hang on your car window, only drenched in more primal terror. The suction cups don't look like much more than white dots to the naked eye, like sticky bits of poster-hanging glue.
But Up Close ...
Jessica D. Schiffman and Caroline L. Schauer; Drexel University
It looks like a screengrab from some ad for heartburn medicine.
OK, this doesn't even look like a photograph. But it absolutely is. It won the 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge in the "This Is Totally a Real Photo, I'm Not Even Lying" division. So in summation, squid tentacles are covered in hundreds of furious gnashing-fanged mouths, because nature didn't think carjackings and AIDS were scary enough.

We removed a wooden dance floor that was glued to concrete with liquid nails. How do I remove the liquid nails that is all over the concrete floor? Has anyone had success with heat, mineral spirits or any other remover product?
From the Liquid Nails faq:
Removing glue from any surface is a thankless task. You will not be able to return the floor to an as-built state. You're going to have to cover it with something.
You're going to have to dissolve it and scrape it. And it's going to be a heck of job.
Some expert google-fu has yielded Baby Oil as a potential solvent. Other suggestions were mineral oil.
However, I think a better solution would be to get a floor sander with a grinding pad and sand it off. Remember to wear a dust mask.
I'm sorry for the delay but wanted to provide an update. When the dance floor was removed, there was a heavy amount of liquid nails covering about 500 sq ft. We had to remove it in order to lay new tile. We tried chipping it, which worked but took a lot of time. The best approach was purchasing a bottle of adhesive remover from Home Depot-- it's stated purpose is to remove the tacky adhesive from sub floors when re-tiling (think of pulling up peel and stick tiles, you must clean the floor prior to installing new tile or it just won't stick). This stuff worked wonders on it, softened it up and it could easily be scraped away. It took two bottles and cost $20.
Thanks all for your expertise, advice and comments!
I had liquid nails all over my walls for my steps leading downstairs after I tore out the fake brick. I am more than sure that the above answers will work but I like free and I like hitting things.
Tools needed:
Things not needed:
Benefits of doing it this way:
Negatives of doing it this way:
I've used Goof off professional for small areas, but its too toxic for a large area.
Diamond brush buffers will wear down the adhesive and even out the floor. They can be used wet to keep the dust cloud to a minimum.
This is available as a rental at a familiar big box store and is paired with a floor buffer. A shop vac and dust mask HIGHLY recommended.
I'm told WD40 will dissolve liquid nails.

6 Inspiring Ways Internet Mobs Have Come to the Rescue

More often than not, the faceless masses are accused of bullying someone to death or running some sprawling child pornography network. But Internet users can occasionally join up for good rather than evil, like when ...
#6. A Reddit Meme Saves Someone from Cancer
In 2012, a Reddit user creatively named CappnPoopdeck posted a "rage comic" about this one time that his male friend found an unused pregnancy test and decided, as anyone would, to piss on it:
As you can see, the joke is that this dude's results hilariously came up positive for pregnancy. So either it's a terrible endorsement for the accuracy of pregnancy tests, or this guy was mistaken about the specifics of his own plumbing system. But Reddit users had another theory -- as some of them pointed out, a false positive on a pregnancy test for a male can be an indication of cancer. Some users urged CappnPoopdeck's friend to take himself to the doctor and get checked out.
As it turns out, Reddit's diagnosis was correct. The kid who took the test went for a check-up, and they found a small testicular tumor. Evidently, a tumor down there can cause a man's balls to go haywire and start releasing ovarian hormones usually associated with pregnancy, which is what the test picked up. Had CappnPoopdeck not had the presence of mind to meme-ify his friend's hilarious piss shenanigans, the guy would never have thought to check.
If this doesn't bump him up to RearAdmrlPoopdeck, nothing will.
Fortunately, the tumor was small enough and caught early enough that doctors were able to treat it. Yet another life saved by rage comics! We believe that brings the total up to one.
#5. A South African Carjacking Victim Is Rescued by Twitter
With over 10,000 carjacking cases per year in South Africa, you're probably just as likely as not to get street-ganked on your way to work every morning. One South African man learned this the hard way in April 2012 when he set off in his Volkswagen Golf only to be robbed, carjacked, and forced into his own trunk by two armed men northwest of Johannesburg.
Luckily for the victim, these criminal masterminds forgot literally the only thing you have to remember when taking someone hostage -- they left him with his cellphone. The man immediately texted his girlfriend to explain what had happened, and true to the era in which we're living, she sought help, not from the police, but from her Twitter followers:
These twitterers then retweeted the tweet until it spread throughout the twittersphere (oh God, what is this shit doing to our language?) until it reached a popular tweeter by the name of PigSpotter (the account is normally used to warn drivers of police speed traps and road blocks around Johannesburg). When PigSpotter started retweeting, the alert reached 100,000 followers, including a large number of private security forces who had vehicles spread out all across South Africa. At that point, an Internet crusade became a real-life crusade: A volunteer security group called Riga Rescue lent its hands to tracking the victim's cellphone signal, and a company called K9 Security eventually caught a visual of the stolen vehicle.
Ironically enough, the car was stopped at a police roadblock 150 miles away from where the original crime had taken place (you know, one of those roadblocks that PigSpotter became famous for helping his followers avoid).

#4. Facebook Diagnoses an Illness That Doctors Got Wrong
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
So the guy Reddit helped earlier only thought to see a doctor because Internet strangers told him to. But this next person was already getting advice from a medical professional. It's just that the Internet's advice was better.
Novelist Deborah Kogan woke up to the worst Mother's Day ever when she discovered that her son Leo had a horrid rash and fever, but remembering that a case of strep had been doing the rounds at his school recently, she wasn't too concerned. It would mean a trip to the doctor, and since all moments must be documented with social media photos, Kogan uploaded a picture from her phone to report her disappointment at having to spend Mother's Day at a pediatrician.
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
"I was told there would be a terrible breakfast in bed, followed by shitty finger paintings ... Promises were made."
The test for strep came back negative, but drawing on his years of schooling and medical experience, the doctor proclaimed that "He looks really streppy" and sent the Kogans on their way with a prescription to treat streptococcus. Leo's symptoms only got worse, and while doctors played pin the tail on WebMD with their diagnoses, Deborah continued posting photos of her ailing son on Facebook. Comments were beginning to stack up, some of them helpful, although many were probably something like "YOU CAN EXPECT MORE OF THIS THANKS TO OBAMA."
But then Kogan was contacted by someone who urged her to take Leo to the hospital -- his symptoms, she observed, matched those of her own son, who had once been diagnosed with something called Kawasaki disease, which sounds like crude police slang for a lethal motorcycle crash but is actually a potentially fatal condition that can cause deadly aneurysms.
Scott Olson/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Not to be confused with Harley syndrome, a mental side effect of penile dwarfism.
Kogan disregarded the pediatrician and followed the advice from crowdsourced social networking instead. Guess which one was right?
Leo was swiftly treated for Kawasaki disease and made a full recovery. Kogan later called the family doctor to explain what had happened, and he replied, "Bravo, Facebook," which was the classiest way he could admit to having been out-doctored by a site that is usually only useful for letting us know our aunt earned the "Vegetable Virtuoso" ribbon for her virtual farm.

As attorney general and secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Andrew Cuomo made his voice heard on the issue of foreclosures, but as a Democratic gubernatorial candidate he was fairly quiet until a week and a half before the election, Oct. 21.
That's when the soon-to-be Governor-elect released his urban agenda, a plan to improve the state's inner cities. One aspect of the plan involves using land banks – public authorities that purchase and develop foreclosed properties in depressed communities — to help solve housing problems.
Land banks could be a welcome life raft for Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brooklyn's Community District 3, which includes Bed-Stuy, is deep in a foreclosure crisis. Last year, the area had the second highest rate for notices of foreclosure in the five boroughs, according to a report by the Furman Center, a real estate and urban policy research center. By comparison, neighboring Community District 2, which includes Clinton Hill and Fort Greene, ranked thirty-third.

Jan. 26, 2012 -- Extensive study of people suffering from Morgellons disease -- including analysis of their mysterious "skin fibers" -- finds no underlying cause of the illness.
Morgellons symptoms are as creepy as the name implies. Patients report slow-to-heal sores that often feel like bugs are crawling under their skin. They often scratch themselves raw. And they also report that mysterious colored fibers, granules, worms, eggs, fuzzballs, or other stuff comes out of their skin.
The CDC study was launched in 2008 at the request of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein because of a rash of Morgellons reports in that state.
The findings do not rule out the possibility that Morgellons is a newly recognized disease, note CDC researcher Michele L. Pearson, MD, and colleagues in the online journal PLoS One.
But after performing detailed examinations of patients, running blood and urine tests, analyzing skin biopsies and "fiber" particles, conducting psychological examinations, and looking for disease clusters, the researchers could not find any common cause of illness among Morgellons patients.
They suggest that the patients' symptoms and histories are similar to those of patients with a psychiatric condition called delusional infestation -- the delusional belief that one is infested with parasites.
More broadly, the findings suggest that Morgellons disease may result from the downward mind/body spiral known as somatization or somatoform disorder. In these conditions, physical symptoms worsen underlying anxiety or mood disorders, which then worsens the physical symptoms.
Morgellons: No Common Cause, No Clusters
Morgellons disease is not an official medical diagnosis. The term was coined in 2002 by Mary Leitao, who in 2008 told WebMD she'd noticed "balls of fiber" coming out of her 2-year-old's skin, just before sores developed.
Leitao got the word "Morgellons" from a 17th century text describing an illness in which black hairs were said to appear on the backs of children in France. The name stuck, even though there's no evidence the disease is linked to the modern condition.
The CDC study looked for patients treated from 2006 to 2008 for any Morgellons symptoms by Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Out of the 3.2 million people enrolled in the program, they identified 115 patients. Another 11 patients who heard of the study offered to participate. In the end, 41 patients had full physical examinations.
