The event, which had been postponed earlier because of inclement weather, is free and open to the public.
After traveling around the country and interviewing more than a thousand men about sex, love and dating, she penned the hit book "Are All Guys Assholes?" She also is the author of, "Hooking Up: A Girl's All-Out Guide to Sex and Sexuality," a book for high school and college-aged young women about sexual health, sexuality and relationships. She also has written "Talking Sex with Your Kids," a book for parents, and many articles for various media outlets.
Madison has a masters degree in counseling psychology from New York University and bachelor's degree from Tufts University, where she wrote a popular sex column and studied human sexuality. She is also a trained therapist, who specializes in relationship issues. She sees individuals and couples at The Institute for Psychological Change on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The All-College Hour Speaker Series is sponsored by the college's Division of Student and Campus Life.

If you've never thought of running a marathon, maybe now is the time. The motto for the "Be Bright Pink" Chicago marathon race team is "If you can run a mile, you can run a marathon." It sounds simple enough but after covering the marathon now for the past five years with NBC Chicago, I was not completely sold when they asked me to help corral up the runners and lead their team this year.
You see, I'm not a runner. I'll use a treadmill, run enough to complete a triathlon, but running a marathon was not on my bucket list. However, like my recent climb up Mt. Kilamanjaro in the name of Ovarian cancer, I felt honored to be a leader on this team too.
Bright Pink is a non-profit organization which helps support the mission of enlightening and empowering young women to be proactive with their breast and ovarian health. So like the climb, I had to run full force to be lucky enough to help inspire, run, laugh and raise awareness for this amazing cause. We are furiously training now, preparing for the marathon in October.

6 Parodies That Succeeded Because Nobody Got the Joke
As we have previously complained, it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between parody and real life. Is that Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie starring Hugh Jackman intentionally silly? Or was somebody behind that really trying their best?
So maybe it's no surprise that through history, lots of things that were created to be intentionally bad mockeries were loved unironically by audiences. For instance ...
#6. Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner Were Parodies of Tom and Jerry
The "chase" cartoon is a classic trope in the animation genre. The Tom and Jerry cartoons are some of the most famous pioneers, but there are endless variations: Sylvester wanted to catch Tweety so he could eat him, Elmer wanted to shoot Bugs or Daffy because he was a hunter and Pepe Le Pew wanted to rape Penelope because he was French. And a rapist.
Via Wallpapers4Desktop.net
"Mommy, what does 'DVDA' mean?"
In 1949, writer and animator Chuck Jones decided he wanted to take a gentle jab at the genre by writing a chase cartoon, but take it to absurd extremes. While earlier Tom and Jerry shorts had featured a battle of wits:
... Jones' vision, about a hungry coyote chasing after a cocky roadrunner with several extra IQ digits, featured ridiculous gadgets and a universe with ludicrously inconsistent rules:
That's Road Runner running down a tunnel that Wile E. just painted into the wall.
It was ridiculous, nonsensical and incredibly violent. And audiences loved it. The debut Coyote/Road Runner short, "Fast and Furry-ous," ended up changing the chase-cartoon game forever. Later, even Tom and Jerry cartoons followed suit by easing up on pranks and focusing more on absurd gadgets and outrageous schemes.
Wait a tick. Mice don't use perfume.
All because he made a "See how stupid these are?" parody. It'd be like if Itchy and Scratchy, the absurdly violent chase cartoon parody on The Simpsons, had become a huge hit on its own.
Jones claimed to be "disappointed" by people misinterpreting his cartoon, which is ironic considering he was later hired to direct Tom and Jerry, the cartoon he was criticizing in the first place, and held that position for four years at the height of its popularity.
Via Amazon.com
Right before he moved on to snuff porn.
Besides, we all know the real mistake Jones made -- overestimating his audience. He aimed for a subtle critique (rocket-powered roller skates count as subtle, in certain universes), when really he needed to take the over-the-top even over-the-top-er.
#5. The Schrodinger's Cat Riddle Is Intentionally Nonsensical
You take a cat and a decaying radioactive isotope releasing deadly amounts of radiation and you lock them together in a windowless, completely soundproof steel box. Is the cat alive or dead?
If you answered, "Holy crap, what?" then congratulations, you're a compassionate human being. However, if you answered "Neither," then you are familiar with Schrodinger's cat, maybe the most famous thought experiment of all time. The idea is that, according to the laws of quantum physics, the cat is both alive and dead because until it is perceived, both scenarios are simultaneously "true."
"Sir, do you have to giggle each time you do the experiment?"
It's a tangible representation of something that's been observed at a quantum level, and it's famous because it gets endlessly repeated by smart kids at parties who then will pat themselves on the back for having blown your mind. In fact, most of the people reading this who know that quantum theory is a thing know about it because of the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment.
The "douchebag" part is completely on your shoulders.
But when Erwin Schrodinger came up with the idea, he wasn't trying to explain something to some stupid undergrad -- he was trying to mock the idea. It's pretty obvious once you realize that the original writing of the example started with, "One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber ..." Also because it's not even true: The situation Schrodinger describes only occurs at the atomic level -- if you actually lock a cat in a box like that, nothing magic happens. The cat just dies, and you're just an asshole.
And wouldn't you know it, the world took him seriously. Knowledge of his famous "thought experiment" spread far and wide. It's still actively discussed, and it drives modern experiments and some really complicated science. Oh, and it's about the only reason anyone still knows Shrodinger's name.
Schrodinger's keg parties were pretty great about half the time, though.
#4. The Polish Beer Lovers' Party Starts as a Joke, Gets Elected
Via Wikipedia
The 1980s were not a great decade for Poland. They started with three years of brutal martial law, which then transitioned seamlessly into human rights violations and total economic breakdown. When the first semi-free elections rolled around near the beginning of the '90s, citizens were understandably less than optimistic about the possibility of new government.
"Democracy means not ducking when I try to club you!"
In comes Janusz Rewinski, a Polish satirist who decided that the illusion of revolution should be taken just about as seriously as his drinking problem. He established the Polish Beer Lovers' Party to reflect that. The party's original platform was to promote drinking beer instead of vodka (you know ... to fight alcoholism).
Polish voters, perhaps a bit peeved after getting screwed over for a decade straight, were actually pretty impressed with Rewinski's balls. Nobody had stood up to the oppressive communist regime in their cultural memory, so they rallied around the idea of beer-drinking for freedom. According to some, the idea of political discussion in an establishment that served quality beer became "a symbol of freedom of association and expression, intellectual tolerance and a higher standard of living."
"Dude, you missed it. We debated politics until Chad puked blood!"
Other people just thought it was funny.
But regardless of the reason, the joke party gained momentum, and more people joined and ran under the banner. Then, in 1991, in the first free election in Poland, the Polish Beer Lovers' Party won 16 seats. Eventually, they split into the Big Beer and Little Beer party, and then one of those factions became the Polish Economic Program. As in, a real political party.

Bennington student Noryang Yeshi '11 will celebrate the opening of Anandwan, an exhibition of photographs taken at a leprosy clinic in central India, on Monday, April 27, from 6-10 pm in the College's Barn East Gallery. This event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition includes 30 photographs taken by Yeshi and two young leprosy patients from the Anandwan Rehabilitation Center, Sandeep and Mangesh—both of whom are under 12 years old. Noryang traveled to Anandwan during Bennington's annual, seven-week Field Work Term, bringing with her five digital cameras to distribute among patients.
"Mangesh and Sandeep truly grasped the core of the lives of the people with whom they live," Yeshi said. "Their photographs view the curiosities of a child and capture what they had lost in their own pasts ... My intention for this show is not to promote my own work but theirs."
Anandwan is the first project of Quantum Leap Connections, which supports youth who are facing challenges around the world. Quantum Leap Connections is a new branch of Quantum Leap, an affiliate of Bennington College. The exhibition will remain open to the public until Monday, May 10.

The Prescribed Drug Guide - A Holistic Perspective (9780952218944)
Publisher: Jigme
Binding: Paperback
The Prescribed Drug Guide - A Holistic Perspective provides clearly presented information about prescribed drugs that is readily accessible and relevant in everyday practice. It is a comprehensive source of information for drug names and their effects from the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia and South Africa.
There are introductory chapters describing holistic views of prescribed drugs and how to manage patients who take prescribed drugs. There is a clear classification of how to determine the strength of action of prescribed drugs according to five levels:
- Drugs used on an occasional basis for the relief of symptoms
- Drugs which pose little or no threat to life when discontinued
- Drugs which cannot be stopped suddenly when used long-term
- Drugs with powerful effects on the mental and emotional levels
- Drugs which are essential to life
Subsequent Chapters list prescribed drugs used in the treatment of different diseases. They are ordered by system, e.g. asthma, angina, arthritis, epilepsy and so forth and contain details of all the commonly used prescribed drugs. Information here includes details of generic and brand names, uses, when not to be used, cautions and effects. The effects are described in clear terms and the use of medical jargon is kept to a minimum. In each Chapter, there is a discussion of how to manage patients who take prescribed drugs and cases are used to illustrate how patients may reduce or stop their medication in appropriate and selected cases.
There is a discussion of the energetic qualities of prescribed drugs from the perspective of Chinese medicine. A comprehensive index allows drugs to be found quickly and easily. This book is an invaluable guide for all holistic practitioners and their patients.

|This episode catches Geordi out disobeying orders and lying to a senior officer. When the Enterprise gets crippled by Tin Man, Riker orders Geordi to give the shields top priority. A little later we see LaForge busy fixing the sensors, after which he reports back to Riker that the shields are still down and he is doing everything he can to fix them.
Data claims that the sensor signal behind them must be a sensor malfunction or a ship because there is "no known natural phenomenon capable of travel at warp velocities". What about the Crystalline Entity they met in "Silicon Avatar"? That could travel at warp speeds. So could the Dikironium Cloud Creature in the TOS episode "Obsession". And so could the neutronic wavefront seen in ENT "The Catwalk".

Violent Confrontations Mar an International Day for LGBT Awareness
After an IDAHO protest rally in St. Petersburg, Russia, activists were escorted back to their buses by police. But they drove only a few blocks before being stopped by groups of young men dressed in neo-Nazi insignia, some with face masks and many with shaved skin-head hairstyles. They attacked the buses, broke through the windows and assaulted the activists inside.

Okay, okay, maybe we've been a little too tight lipped about what we're going to announce at the PDC this year. We've dropped a few hints with some of our recent guests on the show (Amitabh Srivastava, Dave Campbell, Don Box and Chris Anderson, plus John Shewchuck), but folks want to hear more. What news will we have around the Live Mesh application platform and associated services? What about the future of the client platform, including .NET and Silverlight? And how is our services platform relevant to enterprises and ISVs who cater to enterprises? And what about Windows 7?!? Watch this video and get some really big clues.
Plus……we're announcing the very special gift that all PDC attendees will receive: a 160GB external USB2 hard drive with all of the bits! Could "The Goods" get any cooler? They just did!

Capacity of the LNG project to be located on Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East is expected to be 5 million tpy, subject to further expansion. The liquefaction plant, the launch of which is scheduled for 2018, will receive natural gas from Rosneft's reserves in the Far East and other Sakhalin gas reserves.
Rosneft and ExxonMobil are progressing on
their proposed LNG project in the Russian Far East
with the launch of the contractor selection process for design
and engineering work, the companies said on Wednesday.
Rosneft and ExxonMobil said that in 2013 and 2014, they plan
to complete design work, including selection of a liquefaction
technology and identification of
major equipment requirements.
Also in that timeframe, the companies plan to perform
engineering surveys and develop front-end engineering and
design (FEED) and Russian Proyekt documentation for the LNG
plant, hydro-technical marine facilities and a source gas
Rosnefts offshore license areas hold massive
hydrocarbon resource potential, most of
which is natural gas," said Rosneft president Igor Sechin.
"Given the fact that offshore fields are difficult to reach and
are not connected to the national gas supply system, the most
efficient way to monetize these resources is to liquefy the
natural gas and sell the LNG in export markets."
Special attention during the design phase will focus on
minimizing environmental impact to the unique
ecosystem of the Sakhalin island and encouraging development of
local infrastructure, according to Rosneft officials.
The companies say a joint team of experts from Rosneft and
ExxonMobil will apply best practices from both companies to
complete the project in the shortest possible
time period.
We are optimistic about prospects for LNG export
liberalization in Russia in the near term and are pleased to
announce that we have entered an important stage of the LNG
project jointly with our strategic partner ExxonMobil," said
I would also point out that construction of the LNG plant and
essential infrastructure will rely on the full resources of the
Russian manufacturing and construction industries (primarily
those based in the Far East) applying international best
practices," he added.
Capacity of the LNG project to be located on Sakhalin
Island in the Russian Far East is expected to be 5 million tpy,
subject to further expansion. The liquefaction plant,
the launch of which is scheduled for 2018, will receive natural
gas from Rosnefts reserves in the Far East and other
Sakhalin gas reserves.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

A proposed subdivision sparks heated debate at the latest Bowling Green-Warren County Planning and Zoning meeting. Now that Planning and Zoning committee has recommended the subdivision be rezoned, the final decision of whether the proposal will become a reality is up to fiscal court.
Many residents of North Warren County showed up at last night's Planning and Zoning meeting to voice their opposition. The proposed subdivision is off Plum Springs Road. Those against it say the subdivision will bring too much traffic to the already busy road. And that the densely populated proposed neighborhood will take away from their property value.
Some community members who spoke out about the proposal feel like their voices weren't heard.
Chris Gravil is one of those against the subdivision. He says: "They showed they were in very strong opposition last night. They came out in numbers against this proposed development and rezoning and their voices were heard but I don't think they were really taken into consideration."
But the Director of Planning and Zoning says that's not true. Andy Gillies says: "They did exactly what they should do. And I would encourage people to come out and attend those types of meeting. It makes for a long meeting yes, but it's the American way. You have to have that input from the community. They may think the decision was already made. But it really is not."
The planning and zoning commission voted 7-3 to recommend rezoning. Residents against the neighborhood say they plan to attend the Fiscal Court meeting where the subdivision will go up for another rezoning vote.

Why is safe to eat some raw or undercooked meats like beef and fish (assuming you're careful), but not chicken? I know that there are bacteria in chicken, but are they in all chicken, or just so many that the only safe thing to do is assume they're all bad? If not, is there any way to get non-dangerous chicken (for say -- chicken sushi)?
You can have raw chicken in restaurants in Japan - it's delicious. Depending on where you live there may be better or worse food safety standards, but there is nothing poisonous about raw chicken itself.
By the way, sushi is a dish with vinegary rice. The raw-meat dish is Sashimi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sashimi.
You will note that in this photo the chicken is actually not raw but quite rare. The exterior of the chicken flesh is actually seared and cooked through several millimeters.
If it's really really really fresh chicken that's been well-raised and well-handled, sure you can eat it raw. As has been mentioned, chicken sashimi is not unknown. The same applies to pork, another meat we're usually taught to cook thoroughly (historical associations there - pork was long known as a carrier of worms if not properly cooked, but this is less of an issue in modern times with good pork).
You might want to consider long and hard who your guests are before you serve up chicken sashimi at a dinner party though.
In this thread goblinbox makes a disturbing contribution that references a Consumer Reports article stating that 83% of US chickens are contaminated with salmonella and campylobacter.
That's a high enough percentage to scare me away.
Is raw chicken even appetizing to you? The thought of eating chicken sushi makes me queasy, but that just could be because we've been brought up with the knowledge that you don't eat raw chicken.
It has more to do with the industrial food system. If it's coming out of industrial agriculture, I don't think I'd eat any meat raw. If you can find a good local producer that does its own slaughtering, cleaning and packaging you could ask them about it. Their meat might be safe to eat raw. It just depends on where it comes from.
My rule of thumb is: if I can talk to the produce, slaughter and packager then I take their advice, otherwise I assume not safe until cooked.

Consider the category of Topological Groups with continuous homomorphisms. Then a continuous homomorphism $f:G\rightarrow H$ with dense range is an epimorphism. Is the converse true? If not, what about for locally compact groups?
Even for groups, without topology, this is not trivial-- Wikipedia points me to a simple proof given by Linderholm, "A Group Epimorphism is Surjective", The American Mathematical Monthly Vol. 77, No. 2 (Feb., 1970), pp. 176-177 see http://www.jstor.org/pss/2317336 It is far from obvious to me that this argument extends to the topological case (but perhaps it does).
Edit: As suggested in the comments, I really was to ask about Hausdorff topologies.

West Raye Street Vegetation Management Plan
The following Plan is the outcome of three years of public input and citizen interest in the removal and trimming of trees along a slope of Magnolia Boulevard known as the Raye Street Bowl. The impetus of this Plan was a tree removal for view permit applied for by adjacent property owners. Significant public input and comment led to the revision of the plan by Parks Department personnel. This plan will address slope stability concerns and view enhancement through an application of current Department policies and management objectives. The Plan developed will be used as the foundation for a permit to be let to the original applicants.

So a really simple way of describing a digital computer is to say that it is a device for performing boolean operations. You feed it a bunch of bit strings, which is a description of the problem and its parameters in binary, the computer performs a bunch of boolean operations like $\wedge$, $\vee$, $\neg$ and gives you back another bit string which hopefully is the encoded version of the answer you were looking for. From this description it is not hard to see the connection of classical computation to discrete dynamical systems and classical logic, the operations provide the dynamics by flipping bits around in a controlled fashion and since we restrict the operations to a certain subset we get classical logic. My question is about analog and quantum computation. Is there a simple description of a quantum computer or an analog computer that makes the connection of that notion of computation to the other branches of mathematics a little more obvious? What is the most basic kind of enconding of a problem that can be fed into a quantum or analog computer and what are the most basic operations performed on this encoding?
Edit: Downvotes should come with comments so I know what to change in order to make my question clearer. Being a novice I'm just trying to piece together some themes about computation, logic and algebra.
Edit: alpheccar provided a link to a paper by John Baez and Mike Stay that pretty much answers my question and even puts it in a much wider context. Here's the link alpheccar provided.

Risky far to risky....
Hold on. Almost there.
I can perty much guarantee you the climer was NOT looking at the senery. Too bad, it's a stunning scene and a great photo.
Faith and Determination Can Make Mountains Surrender.
Surrender is a bad word in this point,so please don't use this in here.Mountains are amazing.people take the challenge.that's it....no one surrender.
such a spectacular view of the table
I don't have a single word to express the beauty of these picture
This is a beautiful place. My students from Albany, NY and I were in Yangshuo on June 27 and hiked up the "easy" way, hiking up the steps on June 27. We were followed by two elderly ladies, who were trying to sell water to us for 20 yuan ($3.00) a bottle .
Beautiful picture. Should read the article in January 2014 impossible Rock.
awesome, looks you have flashlight when captured the hill
incredible !!!!
That is breathtaking...if not terrifying...
아니~~ 이게 어떻게 되는거죠?
산위에 엄청 큰~~~ 바위가 연결되어 있는 건가요?
마치 땅과 하늘이 만난 것 같군요.
@병정 이 Agree!!
WTF?! I feel dizzy and am in awe of her for doing that. Fantastic photo.
Incredible.....and totally crazy! Beautiful shot, scenery is gorgeous,...... but I'll stay on the ground and just watch.
Надеюсь, она застраховала свою жизнь на максимальную сумму?
Why do we sometimes choose to do "things" the hard way? "Why not?" is one obvious answer. There is something in this which tells me a few truths about myself.
me gusta extraordinario con toda su belleza
Awesome..kind of things photographers do to take legendary shots..salute
Awesome pic
nice pic
Awesome Shot
Beautiful shot love it
Really fantastic!
I have not been to this area, but seems amazing. She may be on a route called "Moon Walker." She discusses climbing at Moon Hill on her website blog. And, yes, she is in a harness and rope, it just not visible due to the distance of the shot.
@Bill HOWARD She's on the extension of "Red Dragon" in this photo :)
I have been there and the view is not that spectacular from the footpath. Carsten must have climbed the other "leg" to get such an amazing photograph.
Look like a giant leg....
Simply an amazing shot and more so an amazing lady, well done.
It took me a little while to find the climber but that only added to the drama. What a wonder capture - the light, shadow and overall composition are so neat. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the award. Love this.
So so so so bold. But still amazing
very nice photo!! oso polita!
A small spot of humanity hanging on to a huge rock face,in an amazing shot. Leaving me wondering,why take the way least climbed? Still, human endeavor counts for pushing onward and outward in risky ways, that for some are impossible to even think of. A great shot. j.e.s.........
I do hope she is tied to something! It makes me gasp to see a person with such nerve. It is a beautiful landscape and her red shirt makes her highly visible.
@Bev Hennager She is a free climber.
Itś look like a Pandora´s Hallelujah flying mountain... .-)

The 5 Most Diabolical Crimes Planned and Executed by Kids
Committing large-scale crimes should, rightfully, be a game strictly for adults. But as we've shown time and again, kids are capable of some pretty incredible things.
We're not encouraging children to commit crimes, or applauding the terrible deeds committed by these kids. We're just saying we're kind of impressed.
#5. 16-Year-Old Art Thief Gets Rich Hustling the Art World
When you think of the type of man who's able to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of art, your mind can't help but Hollywoodize him. You tend to picture a sophisticated thief, very Pierce Brosnan-like in the looks department, with all the high-tech equipment his bored playboy lifestyle can afford him. The type of guy who can sneak past an elaborate laser-based security system without wrinkling his suit. But life doesn't always imitate art, as proven by the strange case of 16-year-old Laurence McCall.
Ironically, all of his pictures have been stolen, so here's one of Pierce Brosnan.
Like some kind of supernerd, McCall enjoyed skipping school in favor of hanging out at museums, enthralled by the artwork he was able to admire for hours on end each day. In fact, he was such a big fan of paintings that one day he decided he'd steal one for himself. And then another. And then another. All told, he took more than 20 paintings, worth well over $300,000. He was able to do this with the type of elaborate plan that's normally only reserved for garden-variety shoplifters: He simply took the paintings off the wall and gently slid them out a window. Seriously.
Hey, say what you will about the kid's lack of originality -- he more than made up for it in balls-out not-giving-a-shit. Now that McCall had all that art, he needed a way to profit from it -- it's not like a teenager can waltz into a pawn shop with a rare painting without prompting a call to the cops. So instead, this teenager casually telephoned New York City auction house Sotheby's and asked if they would auction the paintings for him. Because asking questions is something that only the unsophisticated partake in, Sotheby's agreed with no delay.
"You look like a nice, trustworthy teenager just selling his personal collection of priceless artwork."
With his profits, McCall started living the '70s pimp life. At 16, he had a luxury apartment in Philly, bought himself a green Jaguar and decked himself out in fine jewels.
It took three years, but at age 19, McCall finally slipped up and got caught by the FBI. Despite leaving a paper trail long enough to circle the globe, nobody was actually able to prove that he stole the paintings. However, the government did nail him on things like interstate transport of stolen goods and mail fraud, and sentenced him to 15 years in the slammer ... of which he only served three. His response to being in jail? He freaking loved it! He said, "There were more laughs inside than out." Good thing he enjoyed that, because he's still paying for those paintings today, over 20 years later, getting his salary garnished by the IRS.
After income taxes, it's the "art theft" section that really screws your take-home.
But if you think he got off easy, just wait ...
#4. A 15-Year-Old Stock Market Swindler Fights the Law and Wins
If there's one thing everybody knows about the stock market, it's that nobody really knows anything about the stock market. For the most part, people looking to test the investing waters tend to put their faith in whichever talking head kind of sounds like they know what they're talking about. Jim Kramer doesn't get paid the big bucks because he knows more than anyone else; he's just really great at making random guesses sound like stone-cold facts. One enterprising 15-year-old, Jonathan Lebed, realized this at an age when most people are still trying to figure out how to save up enough cash to buy a piece of shit car.
Lebed managed to manipulate the stock market and almost became a millionaire by doing nothing more than trolling the Internet and pretending he knew what he was talking about. With his parents' blessing, Lebed began working with stocks at the age of 13. But, rather than studying hard enough to give any sort of sound advice, he set up hundreds of fake accounts on sites like Yahoo! Finance and E*Trade and plastered those sites' message boards with tips about what new stocks to buy into.
"If Titzwiener69 says it's a buy, who am I to argue?"
The strategy was pretty simple: Lebed would buy otherwise worthless stocks at ridiculously low prices, post his spam messages talking up those stocks and sit back and wait for people to take his advice. And they did, because since when has anyone ever lied on the Internet for personal gain?
After hundreds of Internet idiots snapped up his worthless stock, the price would shoot up, and of course Lebed then quickly sold his shares for an insane profit. For example, Lebed invested in Firetector, buying shares at $2.45 each. Then he went online and posted messages stating that the shares would soon rise to $20. People blindly listened to the random Internet stranger, and Lebed cashed out a profit of $19,000. It's good work if you can get it (and get away with it).
Via Katy Grannan
It's how he could finally afford that mounted fish of his dreams.
This was a strategy called the "pump and dump," which is almost certainly also the name of a sex act. Over the course of just five months, Lebed managed to collect $800,000 using this simple trick. The SEC soon got wind of it, and at 15 years old, Jonathan Lebed became the youngest person to face charges of stock market fraud. When his parents found out, they were ... oddly impressed.
Rather than making their young stock market swindler turn over his ill-gotten gains, the Lebeds fought back. According to Jonathan's father, who was irrationally angry at the SEC for having the gall to question his child, his son "earned it." He went on to say, "He did a lot of work. He didn't sit behind a garage smoking pot, or stealing wheels off a car." Because everyone knows that stealing wheels is easy work. Blatantly lying on the Internet for financial gain is far more creative and labor intensive.
"Just let him sleep, man. He's been convincing people he's a 14-year-old girl since 4 a.m. He's exhausted."
Shockingly, their arguments worked. The SEC settled with Jonathan Lebed in a civil suit, ordering him to pay back $285,000, leaving over $500,000 still in the pocket of the young con man. Let this be a lesson, kids. Sometimes, crime totally pays.
#3. A 14-Year-Old Blind Kid Makes SWAT Teams Do His Bidding
Matthew Weigman was born legally blind, which, as you know from Daredevil, meant he developed superhuman hearing to compensate. If you don't see how a sightless childhood could be turned into a life of sophisticated crime, you're apparently not aware of phone hacking.
At around age 11, Matthew fell in with a shady bunch known as "phreakers." Basically, a phreaker is a person who probes and scans telephone networks looking for weaknesses to exploit. Those lines operate on tones, and mastering them could get you all kinds of access (we once told you about a guy who got free long distance by blowing into his phone with a whistle he got out of a cereal box). Among the phreakers, Matthew gained the nickname that would eventually describe him so well -- Lil' Hacker.
Their first choice, Fat Daredevil, was rejected as too cruel.
Thanks to his uncanny hearing, Weigman was able to memorize phone numbers just by listening to the dial tones. He could also perfectly mimic people's voices, which allowed him to gather personal data from companies like Verizon and AT&T by copying the voices of supervisors.
Eventually, Weigman took his skills into criminal territory by accessing supervisor lines at Sprint so he could eavesdrop on customer service calls and steal credit card numbers. He would then share those stolen credit card numbers with all of his phreaker friends, who used them to buy computers and such. This might all sound fairly harmless, but Matthew upped the ante by using his unique telephone skills for something called "swatting." Basically, that means he would fake calls to the police in order to have SWAT teams converge on the homes of his enemies. Hilarious!
"He's watching TV, menacingly, sir. Should I take the shot?"
And it was as simple as using his phone hacking skills to make the call look like it was coming from the home of the person he was targeting. Then he would make wild claims about hostage situations that would draw the vans full of guys in black suits with machine guns. If that actually does sound kind of like a funny prank to play on a buddy, keep in mind that one of his victims was the father of a girl he knew who was targeted because she refused to have sex with him.
Through a combination of stealing information, faking police calls and sheer arrogance, the 14-year-old Weigman found himself on the business end of a joint venture between Verizon and the FBI aimed at taking him down. There was only one hitch, though; they had to wait until he turned 18 if they really wanted to dish out some severe justice. Matthew caught wind of the investigation and was even told that he'd be off the hook if he just stopped before becoming an adult.
But what fun would that be? No, Matthew Weigman shifted his dickery into high gear. He and some of his phreaker comrades began harassing the Verizon investigator by planting false evidence in an attempt to get him fired. It didn't work, of course, and the blind telephone bully was finally arrested. He was sentenced to 135 months in prison, which our science and research department assures us amounts to just over 11 years.
"Is that penis? Guard! I hear penis!"
Do you think he used his one phone call to try and have a SWAT team arrest the people who arrested him? That would have been meta as hell.

As of late I have been learning how to touch type for many reasons but the one I speak of now is to become a better player. I'm learning via typingweb and have been forcing myself to touch type.
I have always used the hunt and peck method of typing with my index fingers and applying that same skill to StarCraft of course because that's how I used a keyboard. In StarCraft I have never been very good at dealing with very large amounts of keys at a time due to the way I type. If I learn how to touch type I assume I will greatly improve all-around. Not to mention it's pretty much a mandatory skill to have if I happen to apply for a job involving typing.
Obviously this skill will allow me to control a greater number of keys at once so I will factually improve my game, right?

Let $G$ be an abelian group. Prove that $H = \{x \in G \mid x=x^{-1}\}$ is a subgroup. ($x^{-1}$ is $x$'s inverse)
to check if the identity is an element of the subgroup: $ex=x$; $(e^{-1})ex=(e^{-1})x$; $ex=(e^{-1})x$; $e=e^{-1}$.
To check closure: this is where I'm not sure I know what I am doing. To check closure, I need to show that... $(ab)x=(ab)^{-1}(x^{-1})$? Let $a,b\in H$, $(ab)(ab)= e$ if $(ab)=(ab)^{-1}$. From that we can get $(aa)(bb)=e$ because we have commutativity and associativity from our group. We know $a=a^{-1}$, $b=b^{-1}$, so $(aa^{-1})(bb^{-1})=e$, $ee=e$; $e=e$. So... $(ab)=ab^{-1}$. If I plug that into $(ab)x=(ab)^{-1}(x^{-1})$, and say that $(ab)x=(ab)(x^{-1})$. If I left multiply with a $(ab)^{-1}$, I get $x=x^{-1}$. Which is what I started with so... I'm done?
To check inverses: the group includes inverses by definition of the group.
H is closed, includes the identity, and inverses, so it is a subgroup of $G$.

I think all babies look alike, even when they are not identical. I need to come up with a strategy over the next few months.
My wife and I faced this very issue with our twin boys, now four years old. When we first brought them home from the hospital, we kept the little wristbands on them for the first few weeks, until they started to outgrow them. Then, we painted their big toe a different color so that we had a foolproof way of keeping track -- the nail polish wouldn't come off easily, and even when it did start to come off, it would generally leave traces of the color for a while. After a few months we managed to identify tiny differences (small moles, different patterns to the way their hair swirled, etc.) that we could use, and once we were confident that the differences were there to stay, we stopped painting their nails.
I studied philosophy in college and my wife is a linguist, so besides being two people from professions that should never be permitted to raise identical twins (physicists being another group that should also be so banned, since their textbooks are similarly filled with "thought experiments" that would more aptly be characterized as "twin torture") we were also quite obsessed with the existential implications of how names work, and what happens if they get mixed up.
If you do go with the nail polish approach I'd definitely make sure to get a brand that's non-toxic and to not over-do it because little growing nails do need to breathe -- you might want to switch up which nail you paint each time. Also -- and this is very, very important -- you need to reach an agreement with your partner that neither of you will ever, ever, EVER "play a joke" on the other and switch them on purpose. :)
Even identical twins aren't exact copies of each other. There ARE differences!
Look for these differences, however small, and remember that Bob is the one with the narrower toenail, and Ben was born with longer hair. Alice has a dimple on the left butt cheek, Denise has one on the right shoulder.
If all else fails, you can still mark the twins as @Bill explains.
To add to the above comments use clothing colors and patterns. The following list developed over time, often based on what colors the our boys were drawn to at a young age. Since about 3 months old Twin B always reaches towards the yellow toys and clothing.
In our house it is an unwritten rule that:
Twin A always wears blues, greens, browns, solid colors, and/or anything with puppies, trucks, or superman on it
Twin B always wears yellows, reds, oranges, stripes, and/or anything with monkeys, sports equipment, or batman on it.
Not a parent of an identical twin here- but one myself. My brother and I are so identical that even our parents and five (yes, five) older brothers can't tell us apart quite frequently. Of course, we purposely wear similar clothing and are very similar in personality, as well.
When we were born, our parents were prepared for twins and actually just grabbed a nontoxic marker and drew a little star right on my brother's (the older one) hand, and kept it that way for several months.
An unrelated fact is that for some reason, we have the same first name. And actually go by that name half of the time, though we do use our middle names as well.
When the twins are first born and their footprints are made, these are one of your best guarantees of uniqueness. These will also be a treasure for your children, so keep these and perhaps make new ones over time. It takes a moment and it's much easier than stressing over how they are dressed or otherwise decorated.

Here's how it works:

I believe the reason it is said that its best not to get a haircut on Motzei Shabbos is because of the following: it is a nice thing to get a haircut on Friday to honor the approaching shabbos. If you wait till Motzei shabbos, it is embarrasing to shabbos because you didn't do it before and you are doing it right after. Therefore, it is probably better to wait until Sunday.
This would probably apply to shaving as well.
Yes, you are allowed. Jewish people are meant to look religious and tznious, so it is okay to get haircuts night and day.
