Is it possible to boil semolina or rice in milk in the microwave?
The problem is that milk will boil over, but I wonder if there are some adapted pots for this purpose or if there is some other trick.
If it's boiling over, you're heating it too much. If you were cooking on the stove, you'd be trying to heat it just enough to almost or barely boil; it's quite easy to boil milk over on the stove too. So try using your microwave on its lowest power, or at least reduce it to that power once the milk is nearly boiling. If it still boils over, it's never going to work. If it's not cooking hot enough, then adjust upward as needed. Keep in mind that if you're cooking something which would be stirred on the stove, you'll still need to stir it some, though probably not as much - it's not extremely hot on the bottom like a stove.
You mean semolina or rice pudding? You can certainly make them in the microwave, the trick is simply to use a bowl that's big enough as well as to stop and stir every few minutes. Here's a recipe saying so, including a picture of the plain glass bowl the author used:
Here's another recipe with similar instructions:
You can find tons of other recipes for microwave rice or semolina pudding on Google, repeating pretty much these two points.

Blinn College's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) helped local companies secure $3.67 million in funding during the last fiscal
The SBDC assisted 267 small business clients throughout its service region in Washington, Colorado and Austin counties, and helped in the creation of 167 new jobs and the launch of more than a dozen companies.
"We help businesses become established, grow, survive and succeed by providing professional management consulting and training, resulting in measurable economic outcomes," said Blinn SBDC Director Matthew Wehring. "We significantly reduce the failure rate of small business in our area and significantly improve their ability to generate profits."
The release of the SBDC's latest fiscal report coincides with the release of a national report from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). That report, "The SBDC Program: An Indespensible Partner in America's Economic Development," found that SBDCs across the nation aid small businesses because of their close associations with:
-other SBA resource partners, small business assistance programs and service providers.
-universities and community colleges.
-private enterprise and local nonprofit economic development organizations.
A key finding of the SBA's report is that SBDCs help local economies by improving the odds for startup small businesses.
"SBDCs," the report says, "are solely focused on creating and supporting small businesses which in turn pay taxes, provide employment and diversify the economic base for their states. The businesses that work with the SBDCs are the job creators and enterprises that have the potential for survival and growth."
Last year, more than 557,000 entrepreneurs received business advice and technical assistance through SBDC programs across the nation. In their 30-year history, SBDCs have assisted millions of small business owners and entrepreneurs to successfully start and grow small firms by fostering entrepreneurship and growth through innovation and efficiency.

6 Sacred Icons of American Culture That Aren't Even American
Throughout history, many political observers have characterized America as a "melting pot" of ideas. Similarly, almost no commentators have compared the U.S. of A. to "a shambolic quilt-work Frankenstein, too crazy to live, yet too ugly to die."
But no matter what metaphor you use to describe the United States' heterogeneous origins, there are nonetheless those facets of American culture that are widely regarded as uniquely (and sacredly) American. Well, guess what? They came from everywhere else, too.
#6. The American Flag Was a Ripoff of the Flag of the British East India Company
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Ask average Americans who came up with their nation's flag and they'll almost certainly say "Betsy Ross." After all, it's been pile-driven into every good citizen's head since kindergarten that a plucky Philadelphia seamstress assembled the Stars and Stripes at George Washington's request.
Via Wikipedia
And truck driver T-shirts were never the same.
Where It Actually Came From:
The British East India Company.
Ross never actually made a flag, but her descendants certainly spun a tale of bullshit when they suddenly remembered Ross' meeting with Washington 100 years after it supposedly happened. The true origins of the flag are much more complex, but historians have a pretty good idea of what the first flag looked like. It's known as the Grand Union Flag. And what the hell is a British flag doing in place of the stars?
Via Sonoflibertywalk
"One Britain, with preposterous accents, indivisible, with tea and crumpets for all."
At the outbreak of war in 1775, most Americans were much more pissed at the British Parliament than they were at the king -- the rebellion was used as a means to get proper representation in the British Empire, not leave it altogether. George Washington and John Adams would even toast to the king's health during the first year of the conflict.
And their flag was also the one used by the British East India Company. The EIC controlled the trade in Britain's Asian colonies and was well-known to the founders -- after all, it was their tea that got ransacked by those pesky "Indians" in Boston. Before the outbreak of the war, American revolutionaries even considered the EIC an ally, as A) their trade was also being hurt by the British Parliament's taxes and B) the EIC represented an independent entity in the empire, something the colonists then aspired to be.
Stockbyte/Retrofile/Getty Images
Which they expressed by playing the drum solo from "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" while dressed like a futuristic 1940s housewife.
Benjamin Franklin may have been responsible for the brief adoption of the East India Company flag. Sure, it enjoyed only fleeting popularity before it was (slightly) modified into the Stars and Stripes, but it definitely caught on better than Franklin's proclivity for a daily "air bath," a routine that required the stout Founding Father to sit entirely naked every morning next to an open window.
#5. "E Pluribus Unum" Came from a British Gentleman's Magazine
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Since 1776, "E pluribus unum" has been the unofficial motto of the United States. It means "Out of many, one" and refers to the ability of the individual states to join up like Constructicons to form a giant robot made of interstate commerce. It's a similar sentiment to "United we stand, divided we fall" or Ben Franklin's more pants-shitting version, "Join, or die."
Via Wikipedia
They chose to omit the ending phrase, "... you fucking turds."
Where It Actually Came From:
A British magazine.
Some of you are probably thinking, "Duh, the phrase isn't American, it's obviously Latin." Well, the closest it gets to coming from the Romans is a possible corruption of the phrase "The one is made up from all things, and all things issue from the one" by Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
Via Wikipedia
And, yes, he looks exactly as you imagined him.
The guy who chose "E pluribus unum" for the Great Seal, Pierre Eugene du Simitiere, probably wanted it to represent the unity of the states, but he got it from an even more ridiculous source than the ramblings of an eccentric Greek.
Du Simitiere took it from a popular British periodical of the day called The Gentleman's Magazine. In turn, the phrase from that magazine can be traced to The Gentleman's Journal, a periodical from the 1690s. When the phrase was included as the motto of The Gentleman's Magazine, it just meant that the publication had a bunch of articles from different sources. One issue lists the table of contents as having parliamentary proceedings, obituaries, poetry, and comedy pieces. (Remember, the word "gentleman" in magazine terminology meant something a lot different back then.)
Via Wikimedia Commons
In other words, The Gentleman's Magazine was a content aggregator, just pulling interesting bits of writing from all over. Yup, the phrase on your pennies was lifted from the 1700s equivalent of the Huffington Post, only without all those slideshows of celebrity sideboob.
#4. Blue Jeans Came from Renaissance Europe
Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
According to trouser lore, Levi Strauss invented blue jeans out West while embarking upon the American tradition of abandoning your life to try to get rich in California.
Where They Actually Came From:
Renaissance Europe.
Via Wikipedia
You know, back when everyone used to dress like Prince.
For starters, Strauss didn't even invent modern jeans -- that honor goes to his business partner, Jacob Davis, a Latvian immigrant with a rather unremarkable career of hoboing from place to place looking for work. On the other hand, Strauss was a successful German immigrant who had recently expanded his dry goods business out West.
It's not like Strauss took an unfair share of the credit, though. Sure, he was mostly a financial backer, but Davis' contribution wasn't earth-shatteringly extraordinary, either. We'll let him explain it with the same eloquence generally reserved for above-average YouTube commenters:
"The secratt of them Pents is the Rivits that I put in those Pockots. I cannot make them up fast enough [...] My nabors are getting yealouse of these success."
Via Legacymoto.com
"P.S. My mom helped me write this letter."
Yes, to invent blue jeans, Davis put some rivets in to reinforce the pockets. That's not a bad idea by any means, but it's the intellectual equivalent of creating Jar Jar Binks and getting credit for inventing racism.
In reality, denim clothing existed centuries prior, and the words "denim" and "jeans" both derive from influential trading cities on the Mediterranean. Denim comes from the French city of Nimes ("de Nimes" = "of Nimes"), and jeans come from the Italian city of Genoa (with its French name being "Genes"). Cities in the region had been using the fabric for sails since the Middle Ages, and in 2010, art historians uncovered Italian paintings from the 1650s that show peasants sporting denim skirts and jackets.
Via Google
"Has anyone seen my Tiffany cassette tape?"
That's right: A full 200 years before Davis and Strauss got around to putting rivets in denim, an Italian child was strutting around dressed like he had mugged Marty McFly.

Oops, something didn't work.
Very nice, the guidance tool is something I'd love to start using internally when I get some time.
One question about ETW, do you have any information about using it for my own apps outside of appFabric, last time I investigated, it looked a horrid experience for the .Net developer.
Not sure about using ETW directly but the AppFabricEvent provider included with the template makes it pretty easy.

text: I decided to make another tutroial on a dinosaur species that I have never done before. Having said that here is "how to draw a Dilophosaurus", step by step. These lizard like dinosaurs are a lot smaller than the more popular ones like the T-Rex, velociraptor, triceratops, and brachiosaurus. If you have ever seen the first Jurassic Park, you might remember this dinosaur during the scene when that big chubby dude stole the dinosaur embryos. Anyways, since this is a simple styled lesson, I will just shut up and leave you with the task of drawing a Dilophosaurus.

text: You guys asked for it so here it is. This is another enemy from the Mario series known as a Blooper. It was at one point called a Bloober when Paper Mario came out the character's name was changed. So here is "how to draw a Blooper", step by step from Paper Mario. These white colored squid like creatures are seen consistently throughout the Mario series. Whether they be in the water, on land or wherever they can become a nuisance to completing a level you will most likely run into Bloopers. I actually think that they are kind of cute because they remind me of chibi squid like creatures. Anyways drawing Bloopers will be a lot easier than you think. I will return so have fun, be happy, and enjoy your time on Dragoart.com.

I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks for a few days in June. There seems to be lots to see, but one thing I'm interested in is the Irish heritage of the city. Like Boston and New York City, Chicago was a major point for immigration of the Irish coming to the US. Are there any specific neighbourhoods in Chicago where this is particularly present? Or specific landmarks associated with the Irish?
Essentially it's quite easy to find some suburbs considered 'Irish', from Wikitravel.
From there:
Further down, it speaks of Ethnic neighbourhoods:
Conveniently, Wikitravel also has an article on the Far Southwest Side, where most of these neighbourhoods are located.
Sounds like to get the ultimate experience, you want to head to Mount Greenwood, where NO tourists get to and the inside of pubs there will feel like you're across the seas in Ireland.
In terms of landmarks, the most 'Irish' one seems to be the castle:

Alefacept injection will no longer be available in the U.S. after November 2011. If you are currently receiving alefacept injection, you should talk to your doctor to discuss switching to another treatment.
Alefacept is used to treat moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body). Alefacept is in a class of medications called immunosuppressants. It works by stopping the action of certain cells in the body that cause the symptoms of psoriasis.
Alefacept comes as a solution to inject into a muscle or intravenously (into a vein). It is usually injected in a doctor's office once a week for 12 weeks. Sometimes a second 12-week cycle is given, but it is always separated from the first cycle by a period of at least 12 weeks without the medication.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using alefacept,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
If you miss an appointment to receive an alefacept injection, call your doctor as soon as possible.
Alefacept may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Alefacept may increase the risk that you will develop cancer. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication.
Alefacept may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Your doctor will store the medication in his office and give it to you each week.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests before and during treatment to check your body's response to alefacept.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Simplicity rules! I love Leonardo Da Vinci's words: "Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication." I completely agree. Jason Jennings always tells me to stop in the mirror before leaving the house and remove one accessory. And when it comes to the rules, what JJ says, goes. Well, almost.
How do you describe your style?
Graceful chic, classic, elegant. I find it refreshing to see women who know how to dress for their body type. Nothing wrong with leaving a few things to the imagination. I've never been one for the in-your-face look when it comes to style. I love a perfectly tailored black dress with killer heels, and a strong dose of self-confidence. Sexiness comes from within, and I consider a smile to be the greatest accessory.
What are your favorite pieces?
A pendant and chain from the Madewell Boutique in East Hampton, my ruby red skinny jeans from 15 Ounce Denim, a modern fitted black blazer from Peacock Boutique, my gold Michael Kors boyfriend watch, my endless collection of bangles. I try to pick up a few from different travel adventures: a chevron patterned straw clutch from J. Crew, a casual army hat from a little shop in Breckenridge, Colo., my Rogan NYC jacket, and a long, flowing magenta maxi dress from Blink Boutique.
Where is your favorite place to shop?
Without a doubt, New York City. My sister Amy and I have probably covered every square inch of every borough, quietly browsing fun boutiques, and of course diving head first into H&M. Oak NYC, Rogan and Loomstate are a few favorites.
If we're talking local, my loves are Peacock Boutique, Clodhoppers, Blink, 15 Ounce Premium Denim, Why Louisville, Chartreuse and Work the Metal. I am forever an advocate of shopping local and will preach it until I'm royal blue in the face.
Who is your fashion icon?
I love Lauren Bacall, because she's just pure class. She shows you that you can be sophisticated and sexy at the same time. Her style choices are generally classic shapes with clean lines. But she also does sophistication with a great sense of humor and is known to be comfortable hanging out with the guys. Sounds like inspiration for the perfect modern woman to me.
What besides fashion do you have a passion for?
My passion is my family! I have two children and am a soon-to-be stepmom to three more – ages 9, 10, 11, 12, and 17! It's a full house. As a mom, I feel it's my responsibility to inspire their creative minds, to reinforce them in sports, to share strong morals and to encourage their endless humor and bravery. We're a unique family and we're really enjoying the process of developing our own traditions and defining our family values.
Rarely do I hear the words "I'm bored!" from our crew. We love jumping in the car and exploring Kentucky with the kids.
A few of our favorite spots are Mammoth Cave, Cherokee Park, the Iroquois Overlook, Schimpff's Confectionery, the Speed Art Museum, the horse farms in Prospect, the Georgetown Drive-In and Polly's Freeze. We live in such a beautiful area! It feels good to get outside and explore.

Why are n-fold complete segal spaces or (\infty, n)-categories (which I'm unsure of how to distinguish from omega-categories) important for n >= 3? Why are they "badly behaved" for n >= 3? (Lurie refers to them this way in his thesis).
Also, I'm particularly interested to connections between n-fold complete segal spaces with regards to a question asked recently about "same" proofs. Is a 2-fold complete segal space sufficient in this particular arena?
(Please tell me if this question is ill-posed, I'm just currently learning category theory)

The 2014 Drum Corps International (DCI) World Championships concluded on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, where the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps of Concord, California, finished their season with a resounding record high score to win the finals. The evening began with an exhibition by the Blue Devils "B" corps, who had won their 4th Open Class Championships last Monday, with tensions then mounting when the final 12 corps took the field as it was still up in the air as to where the top 5 after the semifinals -- Blue Devils, Cadets, Bluecoats, Santa Clara Vanguard, and Carolina Crown -- would finish both overall and in the captions.
The Blue Devils had completed the semifinals with a score of 98.95, distancing themselves from the 2nd place Cadets (96.7) and taking 1st place in every caption other than Percussion. As the finals got underway, Carolina Crown set the top 5 pace with a score of 95.675, and was followed by Santa Clara Vanguard (96.075), Cadets (96.875), Bluecoats (97.175), and the now 16-time world champion Blue Devils with a record finals score of 99.65.
This year's championship week caps an epic season for the Blue Devils -- the corps achieved the amazing feat of an undefeated season, set a new record DCI finals score, and captured Best Color Guard, Best Visual Performance, Best Brass Performance, and Best Overall General Effect, in addition to their "B" corps' Open Class Championships win of last Monday.
Conn-Selmer would like to congratulate the Blue Devils on their stellar season. "The Blue Devils stand for excellence in the performing arts. This year has been an incredible journey for the organization and we are extremely proud to be an educational partner with them." said Michael Kamphuis, Managing Director of Conn-Selmer's Division of Education. The Blue Devils perform exclusively on King System Blue Marching Brass, manufactured at the Conn-Selmer Eastlake, Ohio, facility. Through Conn-Selmer's System Blue Educational Events, Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser, Vice-President of Education at Conn-Selmer, and Frank Troyka, Educational Specialist for Conn-Selmer, assist with student leadership events during the Blue Devils season.

CONNORVILLE - The Buckeye Local Panthers haven't been torching the nets much this season as they average just 52 points a game.
That average went up after Wednesday's explosion against Union Local.

UNION LOCAL'S Jacob Bailey looks to go up for a shot as Buckeye Local's Brennan Czuchran defends during the first half of Wednesday's game in Connorville. The Panthers prevailed, 76-67. Additional images may be found at cu.timesleaderonline.com
The Jets actually jumped on the Panthers early, surging to a 9-point lead in the early going. It was a site all too familiar for Morris.
"I called that timeout because we started slowly in the last two games and we just weren't playing aggressive enough," Morris said. "The kids responded really well and played good defense."
The message got across loud and clear as Buckeye got within 13-9 at the end of the first and kept going from there.
The Panthers rang up 50 points in the middle two periods, scoring 25 in each. They scored in a bevy of ways, too. They forced turnovers that lead to easy chances, worked against the Jets' zone for good look after good luck and cashed them in.
"We tell the kids that the better defense you play, the more points you're going to score," Morris said. "We got a lot of layups, but it also seems that when you're running in transition, the outside shots come more easily, too."
That they did for the Panthers. Kyle Michalo had the hot hand early. He scored half of his 20 in the first half. Senior point guard Caleb Agnew also had a big 3-pointer that ignited a Panthers' spurt.
Union Local, meanwhile, remained close thanks to talented senior Jacob Bailey, who scored 12 of his 22 points in the first half.
"We let Buckeye's pressure get to us and when we let pressure get to us, we start to wilt a little bit," said UL head coach Vaughn Butler. "I thought we fought some of that off in the second quarter, but the third quarter it hurt us again."
The Panthers (7-6) picked up right where they left off in the third, outscoring the Jets, 25-19 to take a commanding 59-45 lead into the final chapter.
Michalo remained hot and continually got free, cashing in eight more points in the third. John Rozenek, who torched Union Local in the first meeting, scored six of his 14 in the third.
"We talked about (Michalo) being a good shooter, but we still didn't get out on him," Butler said. "We're just not there yet. We're getting there, but Buckeye is a solid team."
The Panthers' lead swelled to as many as 21 in the fourth before Morris emptied his bench, which allowed the Jets to make a final scoring run.
All told, four Panthers reached double figures. Michalo and Rozenek led the way. Talented junior Brennan Czuchran went for 13 points.
"We were very balanced, which we've had all year, but we've really not shot the ball this well," Morris said. "We've won six of eight and in that period, we've given up very few points. Overall, I was pleased with our defense.
Bailey's production was complemented by Kaleb McDiffit's 10 points. Colton McKivitz came off the bench to score nine. Collin Jones added eight.
Both teams are in action Friday. Union Local plays host to Harrison Central, while Buckeye welcomes Indian Creek.
Buckeye was also a winner in the reserve game, prevailing by a 36-33 score. Jonathan Borkoski had 14 points to lead the Panthers.

Luxury Bathing Experience:
- Whirlpool: Legendary for a reason, Whirlpool systems push air-induced water through strategically placed jets to target muscles that hold tension. They are so effective at relieving tension that they're widely used in sports and rehabilitation medicine. In the home, they provide for a retreat and relief from stress that is unlike any other.
Technologies / Benefits:
- 10 Year Residential Warranty: This tub is covered under a ten (10) year residential and three (3) year commercial Warranty. This speaks volumes to the quality of American Standard tubs.
- Simple Controls: A single button turns the whirlpool system on and off while two dials (one for each side of the tub) operate the whirlpool system power, from a gentle swirl to a deep-tissue massage. Perfectly simple.
- EverClean: EverClean helps your tub stay clean between uses by continuously inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. A patented anti-microbial agent (silver-ion) is manufactured directly into the bath's parts and plumbing, so it won't wear off over time.
- AcuMassage Jets: This state-of-the-art whirlpool system includes strategically placed AcuMax and AcuMotion jets. AcuMax jets move wide streams of water at a lower pressure for a deep tissue massage while AcuMotion rotary jets deliver more targeted swirling streams to invigorate areas such as your feet.
- Silent Air Induction: Whirlpool jets don't push just water – they push air too. In fact, it is the air that is adjusted when you dial in your jet velocity. This process of introducing air to the water is called "air induction". For some whirlpool tubs, air induction can create an irritating hissing sound, but not this tub; air induction is done silently.
- Self-Leveling Base: A major time-saver during installation, this tub's self-leveling base eliminates the need to fret over a perfectly level base structural support. High-density compressible pads do the work for you, compensating for any imperfections. DIY'ers and contractors both appreciate this feature.
- Premium Acrylic: Luxury American Standard tubs all use premium acrylic for a reason: it retains a glossy finish, is flexible (will never chip, crack or craze), easy to clean, and far lighter (and easier to install) than cast iron. Premium Acrylic means that it is reinforced with a fiberglass composite for maximum strength.

3 Questions from the Community
The American Standard 2772.018WC is going to be 13 3/4" to the overflow about 18" from the floor to the lip. You can use bath salts & oils if you like but keep in mind that you will want to be a little more thorough when you go to clean in. Cleaning should be done monthly & more often if you use the tub regularly. The easiest ways to clean it would be to fill the tub with hot water & dissolve a dishwasher soap tablet into the water or pour 1 cup of bleach and 1/8 cup of dish soap into the hot water. Run the jets after the tub has been filled & leave then going for about 15 minutes. Refill the tub with lukewater water & run the jets for another 15 minute cycle to clear out the remaining cleaner. Hope this helps!

This is a request for help, not an attempt to challenge anything.
Since $\pi$ is irrational, this tells me that it's impossible to express the distance around a circle in terms of the distance accross.
That boggles my mind, but maybe it should not.
I think crazy thoughts like: "this means that a the path of a circle around a unit lenth line segment has a non existant length".
Is there a way to accept that the number is irrational and not break from reason?

i've a doubt about using Prolog for my grad school research. Recently, i've presented a small part of my research work which is discussed about logic and prolog in a conference. I got a comment from an audience that questioned me "why i chose prolog". He said that prolog is an outdated languages (popular usage around '80s) and people are rarely talk about prolog now. Is there any risk if i use prolog in my research study because of its old-fashioned language? or maybe i should prolog as only a part of my study. This is confusing me as i know that prolog is still be using in academia now..

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Currently logic programming can be done by using description language such as OWL (Web Ontology Language) and one of many inference engines.
Clear advantage is that it's fairly easy to use it within other languages (like Java, C, and you can use specialized triplestore database.
It looks to me that the question is somehow similar in spirit to the following other questions:
Why is Prolog good for AI programming?
Is Prolog professionally useful?
In academia the relationship of Prolog to mathematical logic is also of great interest. But one can do mathematical logic without a computer, just paper and pencil. To get an impression what is going on in mathematical logic one might like to visit:
Mathematical Logic around the World
When you see the term "Horn Clause" or somesuch, it is evident that it is related to Prolog. But since Prolog allows extensions in various directions, the connection is very broad.
Best Regards

(John Iacono/SI)The votes have been counted, and the result is a shutout. At 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson announced that none of the 37 candidates on the 2013 BBWAA ballot had received the 75 percent of the vote necessary for election to Cooperstown, with Craig Biggio's 68.2 percent leading the field but still 39 votes short. Four other candidates — Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and Tim Raines — received more than 50 percent, led by Morris with 67.7.This is the first time the writers have pitched a shutout since 1996 (the last time the ballot had this many candidates) and the second since 1971, though they were much more common in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite assertions to the contrary, the world won't end, and while a flood of worthy new candidates will hit the ballot in 2014, making it even harder for anyone to reach the threshold necessary for election, we can at least look forward to some writers dropping their first-ballot resistance to worthy 2013 newcomers, and others mothballing their fainting couches over the number of players connected to performance-enhancing drugs.A few quick and somewhat scattered thoughts on the results:1. Mr. 3,000: Biggio is just the second player to reach 3,000 hits since the end of World War II and not gain first-ballot entry, the other being Rafael Palmeiro, who failed a drug test and has now gone three cycles without being elected; (Career hits leader Pete Rose was banned for life due to gambling before he became eligible to receive votes.) With the ballot more crowded next year, Biggio won't be an automatic entry, but some of the resistance-for-the-sake-of-resistance against his candidacy should drop. Of the five players who received between 65 and 74.9 percent in their first year of eligibility since the Hall went back to annual voting in 1966, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Carlton Fisk and Roberto Alomar went in on the second ballot, and Gaylord Perry on the third.2. The not-so-inevitable: Morris isn't an automatic for 2014 either. He gained just one percentage point over last year, and will need to find 42 more votes while being pitted head-to-head with other strong candidates among former pitchers like holdovers Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling and 300-win newcomers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, and another Schilling-like (high strikeout total, non-300 win) candidate in Mike Mussina. Jim Rice went in on his 15th try in 2009, but he only had to climb from 72.2 percent, and first-ballot entry Rickey Henderson was the only newcomer who even received five percent of the vote that year.3. The black sheep: Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds received less support among those who didn't publish their ballots than the straw polls — which had them around 45 percent — would have suggested, finishing at 37.6 percent and 36.2 percent, respectively. That rebuke will be painted by some as the definitive defeat of PED-tinged candidates, but again, there's a first-ballot bias to bear in mind, and many of the voters who went against those two left the door open to reconsider their candidacies in the future. Meanwhile it's worth noting that in modern voting history, 10 previous candidates have debuted with between 30 and 40 percent of the vote, with Rich Gossage, Eddie Mathews and Lou Boudreau eventually elected by the writers, Enos Slaughter, Pee Wee Reese and Jim Bunning going in via the Veterans Committee, and Edgar Martinez, Maury Wills, Al Lopez and Luis Tiant failing to gain entry at all. Clemens and Bonds have definitively stronger statistical cases than any of those 10, so I suspect they'll gain entry, but the timeline is going to be longer than I previously estimated — perhaps until the end of the decade.4. Just say no: Mark McGwire (16.9 percent), Sammy Sosa (12.5 percent) and Rafael Palmeiro (8.8 percent) may fall off the ballot before resistance to PED-related candidates softens enough. McGwire is now seven years into his candidacy, and his share of the vote has fallen in each of the past three years since he admitted to using steroids. Sosa's first-year share looks a lot like that of Palmeiro two years ago (11.0 percent) despite having not officially failed a drug test (he reportedly failed the supposedly anonymous 2003 survey test). Palmeiro, who fell from 12.6 percent last year, may well fall below 5.0 percent next year. Based on voting share alone (not on the PED allegations), history suggests that at best, he'll be a Veterans Committee selection.5. Top newcomers: Mike Piazza made a strong debut at 57.8 percent, though perhaps not as strong as initially anticipated. Modern voting history suggests he'll get in via the BBWAA vote, though it could take as long as five years to build enough support. Schilling's 38.8 percent puts him in the Clemens/Bonds camp with regards to historical voting trends for similar debuts. Though he has no known PED connections, he may suffer in comparison to the coming flood of pitchers, which include not only Maddux, Glavine and Mussina in 2014 but also Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz in 2015.6. Top holdovers: Bagwell gained a bit of ground in his third year of eligibility, going from 56.0 percent to 59.6 percent, suggesting he too will gain entry via the writers within a few years. Raines, in his sixth year of eligibility, crossed the 50 percent threshold, climbing from 48.7 percent to 52.2 percent, making his eventual induction a likelihood. Among the candidates to receive at least 50 percent at any point in the BBWAA process, only Morris, Bagwell, Lee Smith and Gil Hodges have failed to gain entry either via the writers or the Veterans Committee, and all but Hodges still have a fighting chance, as they remain on the ballot.7. Lesser holdovers: Smith (47.8 percent), Edgar Martinez (35.9 percent), Alan Trammell (33.6 percent), Larry Walker (21.6 percent), Fred McGriff (20.7 percent) and Don Mattingly (13.2 percent) all fell back a few points relative to last year, with Smith slipping under 50 percent after crossing it for the first time in 2012, his 10th on the ballot. At best, these players can hope for Bert Blyleven-like builds to eventual election, but it's getting late for Trammell, and it's almost certainly out of the question for Mattingly8. A fond farewell: Holdovers Dale Murphy and Bernie Williams fell off the ballot, as did 18 of this year's 24 newcomers. In his 15th and his final year of eligibility, Murphy received just 18.6 percent of the vote, his highest share since 2000 but just a four-point gain over last year despite the additional publicity. In his second year of eligibility, Williams dropped from 9.6 percent to 3.3 percent, below the 5.0 percent needed to remain under consideration. Eleven of the 24 newcomers received no votes, five others (Julio Franco, David Wells, Steve Finley, Shawn Green and Aaron Sele) received between one and six votes, with only Sandy Alomar Jr. (16 votes, 2.8 percent) and Kenny Lofton (18, 3.2 percent) rising above that significantly among the group. Lofton, a candidate who via JAWS ranks among the top 10 centerfielders in history, deserved better. While his JAWS is a bit below the Hall average at the position, it's still above the median, but alas, he's been lost in the flood of more popular candidates, and now joins Bobby Grich, Lou Whitaker and Ted Simmons among the bigger one-and-done travesties.FULL RESULTSNameVotes (Pct.)Yrs on ballotCraig Biggio388 (68.2%)1Jack Morris385 (67.7%)14Jeff Bagwell339 (59.6%)3Mike Piazza329 (57.8%)1Tim Raines297 (52.2%)6Lee Smith272 (47.8%)11Curt Schilling221 (38.8%)1Roger Clemens214 (37.6%)1Barry Bonds206 (36.2%)1Edgar Martinez204 (35.9%)4Alan Trammell191 (33.6%)12Larry Walker123 (21.6%)3Fred McGriff118 (20.7%)4Dale Murphy106 (18.6%)15Mark McGwire96 (16.9%)7Don Mattingly75 (13.2%)13Sammy Sosa71 (12.5%)1Rafael Palmeiro50 (8.8%)3Bernie Williams19 (3.3%)2Kenny Lofton18 (3.2%)1Sandy Alomar Jr.16 (2.8%)1Julio Franco6 (1.1%)1David Wells5 (0.9%)1Steve Finley4 (0.7%)1Shawn Green2 (0.4%)1Aaron Sele1 (0.2%)1Jeff Cirillo0 (0%)1Royce Clayton0 (0%)1Jeff Conine0 (0%)1Roberto Hernandez0 (0%)1Ryan Klesko0 (0%)1Jose Mesa0 (0%)1Reggie Sanders0 (0%)1Mike Stanton0 (0%)1Todd Walker0 (0%)1Rondell White0 (0%)1Woody Williams0 (0%)1 More The Strike Zone

5 Daring Crimes (That It Turns Out Never Happened)
Being a police officer is probably hard enough without some of the crime victims just making shit up.
Yet, often elaborate and even brutal crimes turn out to, upon investigation, never have happened at all. Why would people make up such an convoluted lie? For a series of really fucking stupid reasons.
#5. The Kidnapping of Baby Badass
The "Crime":
Christmas 2008 wasn't so jolly for Miami resident Meagan McCormic. Instead of the normal annoyance of fake smiling over a God-awful sweater someone bought her, she had a regular silent nightmare on her hands: her son had been abducted.
Meagan said she had left six-month-old Riley with Camille, his gap-toothed, French nanny. When the au pair absconded with the tot, nearly 20 police officers bravely sacrificed their own priceless yuletide memories for a statewide Christmas Eve baby-hunt. Mom described the kid as having a mohawk, one tooth and a fake tattoo.
Wait, what?
The Facts:
While there are definitely some snaggle-toothed, Brie-loving babysnatchers running amok out there, they certainly weren't near McCormic or her awesomely coiffed son. Why? Because the darn kid never existed.
Riley seen here on the swings.
Say you're having trouble getting over an ex. Whereas most of us choose to wank the pain away or drown our sorrows in fermented grain juice, McCormic refused to accept that her ex-boyfriend just wasn't that into her. To win her former beau back, she pulled one of the oldest tricks in the book: the unplanned mohawked pregnancy. And why go through all the trouble of actually having a kid when you can just tell him you did?
McCormic's plan fell to tatters when she forgot one eensy-weensy fact: maybe, just maybe, her ex would actually want to meet the tyke. When her boyfriend came down from Massachusetts to meet the lil' rebel, McCormic scrambled to concoct a tale involving an evil French crone with pissoir-poor dental hygiene. Presumably she made the nanny French to capitalize on law enforcement's latent Francophobia, but hatred of fine wine and semi-soft cheeses can blind your average Florida cop with rage for only so long.
A Frenchman, in a rare moment of not surrendering.
Once police realized they could drive their cruisers through the holes in McCormic's story, she was arrested. Her crime? Filing a false police report, and presumably inventing a baby too awesome to actually exist.
#4. Marriage Counseling, Swedish Style
The "Crime"
In October 2008, a 43-year-old Swedish man went to the German police with one heckuva tale: he'd been abducted from Sweden and transported to Germany in a Volvo. After stealing his money and credit cards, the Swede's captors unceremoniously dumped him at the Nuremberg railway station. Authorities initially believed his account, seeing as how there's nothing especially exciting to do in Nuremberg, other than stand trial for war crimes.
"Weather's fine. Wish you were here."
The Facts:
After Nuremberg police ordered a manhunt, the Swede admitted that he might have embellished things a little. The truth was, he just really, really, really didn't want to talk with his wife.
When your average Swede gives his wife the silent treatment, he usually tunes her out with an ice hockey match and a couple big swigs of aquavit. Very rarely does he simply hop in his car and make an impromptu cross-continental road trip without telling the ol' ball-and-chain where the fuck he's headed.
That's exactly what our Husband-of-the-Year candidate did. Our Swede clearly didn't give a fig how his wife's day was going, so he conveyed this indifference by driving from Scandinavia to Austria to Italy to the middle of Bavaria.
It was this point that the hubby realized that he may have crapped the wedding bed, so he did what any wayward spouse would do in this situation: fabricate a ginormous fib.
For those readers who may not grasp the total lunacy of this lie, imagine if the next time your significant other asks you to go the grocery store, you jump in your car and burn rubber 1,000 miles in the opposite direction. When you get there, call your mate and blame your absence on al Qaeda. See how well that goes over.
"...so then Osama bin Laden lets me go! In Manitoba! Crazy, right?"
#3. The Serial Cockblocker
The "Crime":
In late 2007, Amanda Bulliner of the tiny hamlet of Newport, New Hampshire told law enforcement that she had received cryptic phone calls from a stranger who had threatened her family. In February 2008, Bulliner again contacted the police, only this time a home invasion had left her and her young children bruised and battered.
Newport's finest frantically tried to find this violent stalker but came up empty-handed. How come? Well, perhaps in a town as small as Newport the police department operates with a certain degree of charming incompetence, a la Mayberry...
"I have no fucking clue what I'm doing!"
The Facts:
...or maybe it's just because Bulliner was stalking herself.
The calls? Fake. The mysterious stranger? B.S. The attacks on herself and her children? Sadly, that was real. In a move deserving of a "World's Worst Mom" mug, Bulliner hit her kids and then turned the full force of her poor parenting on herself.
What in God's name did she seek to gain from smacking herself in the face? The love of an ex-husband. Whenever her ex began seeing other women, Bulliner's "stalker" would materialize, thereby putting the kebab on his budding romance. She was a serial cockblocker, if you will.
Luckily, she was no criminal mastermind, which isn't really a surprise considering her plan to reunite her family hinged upon beating her kids. When the "stalker" left a threatening voicemail for the case's lead investigator, the cop did a little bit of gumshoe-ing (he tracked her via caller ID) and quickly threw the book at Bulliner.
A sad case indeed, but at the end of the day, we're still left with one question: how the fuck did she get custody of the kids in the first place?

I would like to do that using the command-line, because sometimes my computer freezes and I need to force a shutdown (I know it's not good to the hardware). And: What is the difference between Halt and Shutdown commands?
Using the commands
If you can still access a text mode console, or if you can log in remotely:
If absolutely everything is hosed, but you have console access, you can use magic SysRq to at least flush all file changes to disk unmount filesystems cleanly. Press
(Note: you'll sometimes see "REISUB", but the R and I steps are useless.)
If it is a frozen X session, hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console. Log in and from there, execute
You may also be able to kill the offending process. Run
If your BIOS is setup in a way where you have to press the power-button more than X seconds to actually turn off the machine, press the power-button once. This will give the acpi-signal for shutdown/halt/poweroff.

Cars of Super Bowl Stars—Can They Help Predict a Winner?
January 25th, 2013
Most guys who enter the National Football League begin playing in their early 20s. Along with achieving their ultimate athletic goal, they get rewarded with millions of dollars.
Throw that much money at a bunch of 20-something guys and what happens? They buy cars. Fast cars, flashy cars, customized cars, expensive cars and, sometimes, questionable cars.
As the 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl approaches, let's take a look at two players from each team and predict a victor, based on cars alone!

Hope this is within the scope of this site.
Color-deficient persons lack the cells in their retina needed for differentiating some (or all) colors.
However, the part of the brain that actually processes images is not deficient.
Is it possible to somehow make a color-deficient person "see" the missing colors by directly activating that part of the brain responsible for processing colors?

Iowa: Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Innovation, and Welcoming Initiatives
In Iowa, there is no doubt that immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators play an important role. Immigrant entrepreneurs bring in additional revenue, create jobs, and contribute significantly to the state's economy. Highly skilled immigrants are vital to the state's innovation economy, and to the metropolitan areas within the state, helping to boost local economies. Furthermore, local government, business, and non-profit leaders recognize the importance of immigrants in their communities and support immigration through local "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
Immigrant entrepreneurs contribute significantly to Iowa's economy.
- From 2006 to 2010, there were 4,823 new immigrant business owners in Iowa, and in 2010, 3.1 percent of all business owners in the state were foreign-born.
- In 2010, new immigrant business owners had a total net business income of $215.8 million, which is 2.8 percent of all net business income in the state.
Highly skilled immigrants are vital to Iowa's innovation economy.
- In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor certified 2,089 H-1B labor certification applications in Iowa, with an average annual wage of $66,422, which is higher than Iowa's median household income of $50,451 or per capita income of $26,110.
- High-skilled immigrant workers contribute to the success of many Iowa-based companies and institutions with a significant presence in the state, including Aviva USA Corporation, UST Global Inc., NCS Pearson Inc., the University of Iowa, Tejase Technologies Inc., and Rockwell Collins Inc.
- The Des Moines metropolitan area had 767 H-1B high-skilled visa requests in 2010-2011, with 79.9 percent of H-1B visa-holders working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) occupations.
- The Iowa City metropolitan area had 320 H-1B high-skilled visa requests in 2010-2011, with 59.2 percent of H-1B visa-holders working in STEM occupations.
- The Cedar Rapids metropolitan area had 252 H-1B high-skilled visa requests in 2010-2011, with 80.6 percent of H-1B visa-holders working in STEM occupations.
- An expansion of the high-skilled visa program would create an estimated 3,200 new jobs in Iowa by 2020. By 2045, this expansion would add around $1.2 billion to Gross State Product and increase personal income by more than $1 billion.
While the numbers are compelling, they don't tell the whole story.
- In Marshalltown and similar Iowa communities, immigrants are bringing new life to small towns that might otherwise have begun withering away. Marshalltown's Chamber of Commerce, in particular, is actively trying to recruit additional members from immigrant-owned businesses.
- In the southeast Iowa town of Ottumwa, Jose Rodas and Elsa Urrutea are examples of new immigrant business owners. Rodas, who originally came to Iowa to work for Cargill, recently opened his own tortilla shop. His tortilleria is one of 25 new Latino-owned businesses in the town. Urrutea, who grew up homeless in El Salvador, now owns her own bakery in Ottumwa.
- In small towns such as Ottumwa, immigrant entrepreneurs have opened small "mom-and-pop" retail establishments, restaurants, auto repair shops, and even pupuserias (which make the Salvadoran corn-dough delicacy). Such business establishments foster local interaction and commerce, helping breathe new life into small towns that might otherwise experience decline.
Some localities have begun recognizing and supporting immigration through local "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
- Welcoming Iowa, a project of the Iowa Immigration Education Coalition, is a "grassroots effort committed to creating a more welcoming atmosphere in Iowa's communities by promoting mutual respect and cooperation between foreign born and U.S. born residents."
- "The ultimate goal of Welcoming Iowa is to create an atmosphere – community by community – in which immigrants are more likely to integrate into the social fabric of their new hometowns."
- Iowa Center for Immigrant Leadership and Integration: An initiative to help guide and prepare Iowa communities and businesses as they accommodate immigrant and refugee newcomers living and working in Iowa.
- The center provides consultation for community leadership, "conducts research related to issues facing newcomers and communities, develops initiative training programs for business and industry, and educates Iowans concerning the needs, challenges and opportunities of their new immigrant neighbors, co-workers and employees."
- The Center provides programming that "incorporates a strong appreciation for the critical role newcomers play in ensuring the long-term social and economic vitality of Iowa's businesses and communities."

We had someone steal some files before quitting and it has eventually come down to a lawsuit. I've now been provided with a cd of files and I have to "prove" that they are our files by matching them to our files from our own file server.
I don't know if this is just for our lawyer or evidence for court or both. I also realize that I am not an impartial 3rd party.
In thinking how to "prove" these files came from our servers we realized I also have to prove we had the files before receiving the cd. My boss took screen shots of our explorer windows of the files in question with creation dates and file names showing and emailed them to our lawyer the day before we received the cd. I would have liked to have provided md5sums but I wasn't involved in that part of the process.
My first thoughts were to use the unix diff program and give console shell output. I also thought I could couple it with the md5 sums of both our files and their files. Both of these can easily be faked.
I'm at a loss of what I actually should provide and then again at a loss on how to provide an auditable trail to reproduce my findings, so if it does need to be proved by a 3rd party it can be.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Facts about the case:
- The files came from A Windows 2003 file server
- The incident happed over a year ago and the files haven't been modified since before the incident.

I have just received my NN5 Pano Head with the RD-16 Rotator and Im very happy with the way it works. I took my time to learn how to set it up properly however I have found that the New Arca Style QR plate bracket's screw plate(with the cork) often comes loose. When adjusting my camera lens for the optimum Nodal point the loosening and tightening of the plate and moving it back and forward causes the screw plate to come loose which has now left an ugly and course scratch on the inside of my upper Rail. Now I can live with that however being as I spend over almost $600 for it im kind of upset about it specially as I have hardly used it. It is such a beautiful piece of machinery and seeing the sleight damage is a bit of an eye sore that I will get over soon enough. So this is just to mention what I have experienced with your newest setup and I hope this serves as a little word of caution to those about to setup. Otherwise I'm totally thrilled with my purchase and I am very interested in selling the the Nodal Ninja Line down here

If someone goes to Israel on Vacation on Yom Tov and decides to stay in Israel to live in Middle of the second day what does he do about Melacha and davening on the Second day of Yom Tov if that very morning they Davened a Yom Tov davening?

There are Poskim that hold that even a visitor to Eretz Yisroel holds only one day, and then there are Poskim that hold that you have to be in Eretz Yisroel for a complete round of Chagim (Pesach, Shavuos, Succos - not neccessarily in this order) before you hold one day.
A friend of mine in Yeshiva, either it was first day, or second day of YomTov, decided he was staying in EY. Just like that, during YomTov, I don't think he'd even discussed it with his parents, who were categorically expecting him to return to Chutz L'oretz for University, after two years in Yeshiva in EY. The Posek told him to daven like Bnei EY, and keep all as a Ben EY from that point onwards, so mid YomTov, he was now a Ben EY. I think it may have been second day so he'd davened a chutz L'Oretz YT davening for maariv the night before, and now in the day, after lengthy discussion with the Posek, was davening as a Ben EY. He was much missed at the Yom Tov Seudoh, while he was enjoying himself learning in the Beis Hamedresh. That's about 11 years ago. He barely leaves EY and still learning there. Kein Yirbu.
When I was visting Israel to decide which community I wanted to live in, a person there suggested that I buy a room or closet in someone's house so that I can be currently owning some land in Israel. At that point, I would be only required to keep one day Yom Tov.
If they decide in the middle of Yom Tov that they want to move to Israel, in that case (if the logic works at all) you would not be able to purchase the item. I don't know what would happen if someone who keeps 1 day decided to buy you the land and then give it to you as a gift.. perhaps that could work.
