Okay. I have Windows 7 Installed and Ubuntu 12.04. I am about to Install Windows 8. My plan right now is to make a bootable installation of Windows 8, plug it in, boot my computer, and let it's do its thing. I know nothing when it comes to partitioning for Windows so I'm just hoping that I will be given the option to wipe my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8. I have come to terms with losing my current 12.04 installation and having to re-install that or 12.10. I have backed up all the data I need from my Ubuntu on an external HDD and can just restore it later. I was just wondering if there are any recommendations from those here before I proceed with my planned process. I recently have come across OS-Uninstaller. I know that sometimes there can be problems deleting Windows NTFS partitions due to them being marked as secure? (I could be wrong here in my wording). I am wondering if the best way to go about this would be to use OS-Uninstaller to uninstall my Windows 7, and then use my bootable Windows 8 USB to install such OS. Then after that's done, re-install Ubuntu. So I guess there are two options there. My first option of just popping in the USB and hoping it will wipe my hard drive and partition it as it needs to be, or the second which is using OS-Uninstaller to delete Windows 7 and then continuing my installation. So my question is, for those who care to input, which way should I go, the first or the second? And if there is something I am missing in one of the processes please let me know. I don't have any new fancy UEFI, my computer is an old, custom build desktop by a friend of my dad with a small 1TB hard drive, 4GB Ram, AMD Sempron 2500+ processor. I have never had a problem with any installation/partitioning of any extra OS'es on this desktop, but Windows has always been installed on here. I am very unfamiliar with installation of Windows. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
(ps I have live media of Boot-Repair, GParted, Ubuntu 12.10, and a whole bunch of other OS's if that helps)

The Netherlands international has warned that BVB will prove to be tough opponents, but is determined to progress in the DFB PokalBayern Munich winger Arjen Robben is eagerly anticipating the DFB Pokal quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund and expects a tight match.
The Bavarians have been struggling against BVB in recent years, but are unbeaten in their previous two clashes this season, and Robben is desperate to progress to the semi-finals at the expense of Dortmund.
"It's going to be a tight game. It will be decided by the little details," Robben was quoted as saying on the official Bundesliga website.
"The important thing is we get to the final of the cup. We want to win titles and if Dortmund stand in the way of us reaching Berlin, then we just have to beat them.
"What happened last season is behind us now. We're into a new season and there are new titles to be won - and we've got to be there when it matters."
Wednesday's encounter is scheduled to kick off at 20:30CET.

Hi, the following is a well known theorem
Let $M$ be a metric space. If every uncountable subset of $M$ has a limit point, then $M$ is separable.
Question: Is there a similar result for topological spaces?
I have almost no knowledge of topology so I can only hope that this is not trivial.

Source: J Clin Oncol. 2005 Oct 1;23(28):6966-75.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is separated from most other head and neck cancers due to its different clinical presentation and treatment algorithms. In general, there is a higher incidence of nodes, which are often bilateral, there is an earlier onset of distant metastatic disease, and there is a rather limited role for surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation generally form the basis of treatment. These cancers are more common in the Far East, where they have a slightly different histological pattern. In these endemic areas, WHO Grade III histology comprises almost all cases. In the non-endemic areas, it is far more common to find the keratinizing squamous cell variant (WHO Grade I). The difference between these two histologies has been further demonstrated by PCR for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which demonstrates 100% expression for Grade III versus only 14% for Grade I (Hording et al. Eur J Cancer B Oral Oncol., 1993). WHO Grade I carcinomas have a worse prognosis, and thus a potentially greater benefit from more aggressive therapy. Considering histology is also important when reviewing clinical studies. Al-Sarraf's study had a major impact on "standard therapy", but was composed of an abnormally large number of WHO Grade I patients (37%) (Al-Sarraf et al. JCO, 1998). The distinctive nature of nasopharyngeal cancers in the sphere of head and neck cancers is demonstrated by the separate staging system, which allows for larger nodes. When evaluating this Hong Kong concurrent chemoradiation trial, comparisons to Al-Sarraf et al. and Lin (Lin et al. JCO 2003) are warranted. This paper thus serves to confirm earlier findings while focusing on patients in an endemic area with Grade II/III carcinomas of the nasopharynx.
To confirm the standard treatment recommendation of CTRT for patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal tumors (excluding WHO Grade I). Thus, to evaluate recommendations for endemic areas with a comparison of treatment toxicities.
This study serves to confirm prior research showing that CTRT is one of the most promising strategies to improve tumor control in advanced stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The issue of managing potential benefit against excessive toxicity is also addressed, and the authors argue that patients should be informed of these higher risks. This study is interesting in a number of respects. Firstly, the lack of "total body imaging" for initial work-up, and the absence of post-treatment imaging (unless indicated), likely have little bearing on the results. The lack of initial imaging would probably result in some understaging, but this would be expected to be random and thus fairly balanced between the arms. The post-treatment imaging would then primarily serve to detect local recurrence earlier in the follow-up period, and the authors attempt to compensate for this with a stricter follow-up schedule of every 3 months. Once again, as this is a randomized trial, such issues are likely to be balanced between the arms. The change in the staging system since the prior studies were performed is highlighted by the comparatively higher- risk patients that were included (or, more precisely, the lower risk patients that were excluded). Furthermore, this is one of the few studies to incorporate more modern 3D-conformal radiation or IMRT planning techniques. The lack of centralized review of IMRT planning does raise some questions regarding quality control; however, the randomized nature of this trial would likely balance this oversight.
The efficacy of chemotherapy is rather interesting, in that both Chan et al. (IJROBP, 2005) and this study find no benefit with respect to distant disease control. This may point to an inability of chemotherapy to control distant micrometastatic disease in those patients who do manage to obtain a durable local control. The benefit of concurrent chemotherapy with respect to local control is, however, more pronounced and is in concordance with prior studies.
The main issue with this study is the relatively short follow-up. What is admirable are the efforts made at scoring toxicity. Exactly how the toxicity is measured (e.g. do patients undergo formal hearing tests?) is not mentioned, and does limit these conclusions somewhat. Without a difference in overall survival, these results are not yet mature enough for definitive conclusions with respect to balancing toxicity against outcome. Future updates may help to lend guidance in balancing treatment aggressiveness with morbidity.

I downloaded

Universal-USB-Installer-184.108.40.206.exe to format my USB stick und put the ISO on it. When I tried to install from it, I've got a kernel panic just like here, except for the version number (mine was
2.6.38-8-generic #42-ubuntu). My ISO image seems to work, as I installed it into a VMWare player without problems. Booting Linux from USB works surely too, as I did it some time ago with an older Ubuntu version.
I can imagine things to try out, e.g., write the image again, try another version, pray, look for patches, etc. However, I'm looking for a time-efficient solution, something what most probably works. An advice of the sort "wait two weeks until it's surely fixed, then download again" is acceptable, I'm determined to switch to Linux, but it can wait a bit.

WEST LIBERTY - With the end of the year just around the corner, the construction of West Liberty University's Campbell Hall of Health Sciences on WLU's main campus is coming right along with the addition of steel beams to the developing structure and the construction of two stair towers.
West Liberty University Chief Financial Officer Jack Wright said the building should be completed and ready to be occupied by December 2013.
"The project has moved along very well," Wright said.

LIFTING STEEL BEAMS — Workers put up steel beams on West Liberty University's future Campbell Hall of Health Sciences, located on the main campus. The building is projected to be completed by December 2013. -- Sarah Harmon
"I think when they started to put steel up it made a big difference. All the sudden you see a beam go up in the air that's 60 to 80 feet high, you get a completely new view of the building," he said. "We started to put steel up, and we hope to have all the steel erected by mid-December and if the weather holds out we'll have the roof on by the first of the year. That's very important to us because it will allow us to work inside the building between January and February."
The 72,000-square-foot building is being built by Nello Construction based in Canonsburg, Pa. According to Wright, the first floor will hold the chemistry department, the second floor will hold the dental hygiene program and the third floor will have the physician's assistant and nursing programs. The fourth floor will remain empty to allow room for the West Liberty health science programs to expand.
"Some science programs require equipment and won't require any more than a classroom. As we decide which direction to go, we'll renovate the fourth floor accordingly," Wright said.
Wright said the construction suffered a slight setback when a slip in the fill occurred due to weather from Hurricane Sandy, though the slip did not interfere with erecting the steel beams.
The Campbell Hall of Health Sciences will be the first completely new building to be constructed on West Liberty University's main campus since 1972.
In addition to the Campbell Hall building, WLU's regulation-sized women's soccer field has also been completed and will be ready for the team's spring season.

Military.com and USAA Announce List of Best Places for Veterans
McLean, VA—Pittsburgh ranks as the top place in the nation for veterans to transition from combat boots to civilian shoes, according to a new study commissioned by USAA and Military.com.
The "Best Places for Veterans" list identifies U.S. metro areas that offer America's most recent veterans more opportunities to find a job or go to college while providing a higher quality of life in an affordable location. Here is the entire top 10 list:
|1. Pittsburgh
2. Phoenix
3. Dallas
4. Cleveland
5. Atlanta
6. Warren, Mich.
"Today's veterans are battling a highly competitive job market and need to proactively plan for life after the military," said Scott Halliwell, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ at USAA. "This study allows us to help recent and soon-to-be veterans identify preferred locations throughout the U.S. where they can launch a civilian career and use the GI Bill to further their education."
"The millions of young veterans who have already entered the work force and the many more that will join them in the coming years have the opportunity to use the discipline and determination they've acquired in the Armed Forces to make a significant impact in their workplaces and communities," said retired Cmdr. Ward Carroll, editor of Military.com. "Best Places for Veterans was commissioned to help equip this remarkable group with tools for a successful transition."
USAA, a leading financial services provider focused on serving the military and their families, and Military.com, the largest military and veteran membership organization, commissioned Sperling's BestPlaces to develop the list. Researchers reviewed variables for 379 major U.S. metropolitan areas, including:
Each of the variables was weighted based on what recent and soon-to-be veterans said was important to them, and each metro area was then ranked based on its total points for all variables. Metro areas with the following attributes were excluded from the list: unemployment rate more than 1 percent above the national average, median cost of living greater than the national average and total crime rate more than 25 percent above the national average.
USAA and Military.com also commissioned a list of the top metro areas in each state to provide service members with more choices. Veterans and soon-to-be veterans also have the opportunity to create a personalized list with the new Best Places for Veterans calculator by identifying which criteria is most important in their military-to-civilian transition. To see the entire list of Best Places and access the Best Places for Veterans calculator, visit www.usaa.com/bestplaces.
The list does not represent any endorsement, expressed or implied, by the Department of Defense or any other United States government agency.

Hunter Syndrome

- MPS Disorder II
- Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II
Disorder Subdivisions
General Discussion
Hunter syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis II, is a rare inborn error of metabolism characterized by inadequate production of an enzyme known as iduronate sulfatase, which is needed to break down complex sugars produced in the body. Symptoms include growth delay, joint stiffness, and coarsening of facial features. In severe cases, patients experience respiratory and cardiac problems, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and neurological deficits. The disorder can lead to premature death in severe cases.
Hunter syndrome is one of a group of hereditary metabolic diseases known as the mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), which in turn are part of a group known as lysosomal storage disorders. Lysosomes function as the primary digestive units within cells. Enzymes within lysosomes break down or digest particular nutrients, such as certain carbohydrates and fats. In individuals with MPS disorders, including Hunter syndrome, deficiency or improper functioning of lysosomal enzymes leads to an abnormal accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates in cells within various tissues, such as the skeleton, joints, brain, spinal cord, heart, spleen, or liver.
Initial symptoms and findings associated with Hunter syndrome usually become apparent in children from two to four years of age. Such abnormalities may include progressive growth delays, resulting in short stature; joint stiffness, with associated restriction of movements; and coarsening of facial features, including thickening of the lips, tongue, and nostrils. Affected children may also have an abnormally large head (macrocephaly), a short neck and broad chest, delayed tooth eruption, progressive hearing loss, and enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). Two relatively distinct clinical forms of Hunter syndrome have been recognized. In the late-onset, mild form of the disease (MPS IIB), intelligence may be normal or only slightly impaired. However, in the early-onset, more severe form (MPS IIA), profound mental retardation may be apparent by late childhood. In addition, slower disease progression tends to occur in those with the mild form of the disorder.
Hunter syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. Mild and severe forms of the disorder result from changes (mutations) of a gene (i.e., IDS gene) that regulates production of the iduronate sulfatase enzyme. The IDS gene is located on the long arm (q) of chromosome X (Xq28).

Sheet Metal Patching - The Hole ShebangWritten by on June 1, 2010 Some Quick Sheetmetal Work On Project Shop Truck
Our decision to use a brand-new Dynacorn '47-50 Chevy truck cab from Chevs of the 40's instead of a readily available vintage cab for Project Shop Truck was motivated by the challenge of creating a street rod truck entirely from aftermarket components. One of the advantages of starting with brand-new sheetmetal (aside from the personal satisfaction of eventually meeting our challenge) is that we avoid having to do a ton of metalwork. Unlike most project trucks, our steel five-window has never done a day's work in its life, has never been in a traffic accident, and has never been the victim of anyone's amateur bodywork. But that doesn't mean that there weren't any improvements to be made. As with any reproduction body, a little sheetmetal massaging will be needed before Project Shop Truck rolls into the paint booth.
Being a fairly faithful reproduction, our cab featured a hole for the fuel filler tube in the stock position on the right side of the rear of the cab. Patching that hole to clean up the lines of the cab is one of the most common modifications made to these trucks, and Jonathan Williams at Hot Rods by Dean (Phoenix) had the job done quickly.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
First, it was necessary to remove the inside lip from the circumference of the hole using a reciprocating saw.Jonathan Williams, of Hot Rods by Dean, followed that by grinding the area around the hole to bare metal to prepare it for welding, removing the paint with a cleaning disc.He used this sheetmetal gauge to determine the thickness of the steel. The patch should be the same thickness, or as close as possible, as the surrounding sheetmetal-in this case 20 gauge.The cab bows out vertically and horizontally at this corner. Williams fed the square piece of steel through the English wheel...The circumference of the patch was drawn onto the sheetmetal, using the hole in the cab as a template. Notice the arrow drawn inside the circle, which will ensure that the patch gets positioned correctly.After the circular filler patch was cut out with a pair of snips, the edge was deburred using a grinder.The position of the hole made it impossible to clamp the filler patch, so it was held in place with tape until a couple of tack welds could be added. The patch was ground just a hair smaller than the size of the hole, to give the weld good penetration. If the patch was too tight and unable to move slightly during welding, it could pop out of position and overlap the outer steel.
Using a hammer and dolly on the tacks stretches the welds, which also helps keep the patch from overlapping.This is your only chance to see Williams' nice weld. Moving to different areas while welding keeps heat from building up in one portion and warping the metal...The contour of the filler patch has to be consistent with the surrounding metal. Williams used a hammer and dolly, along with this slapping spoon to shape the steel, feeling with his fingers to judge the job.Williams alternated between 80-grit sandpaper on the DA sander to knock down the material, and 120-grit on a handheld sanding pad to smooth it out.When Williams was satisfied with his work, the truck went into the paint booth where it was masked prior to being primered.

WEIRTON - The city is on its way to achieving compliance with state and federal sewage regulations, Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said Monday.
Mastrantoni told council members they've "had significant progress" with overflow problems at the Fifth Street lift station.
Phase I of the city's $6 million sewage overhaul involved laying about 4,700 lineal feet of gravity sewer to route sanitary flow from roughly 1,000 structures along Pennsylvania Avenue and nearby neighborhoods up old Main Street to the 5th Street Lift Station.
Article Photos
'IF I WERE MAYOR' WINNER — George Zevios, a fifth-grader at Weir Middle School, was recognized by Weirton Mayor George Kondik for winning the statewide "If I Were Mayor" competition. The competition was sponsored at the local level by the city and First Choice America Federal Credit Union. - Linda Harris
Mastrantoni told council they'd "made the connection to divert flow from the 1,000 structures" to the lift station and at this point, "our sanitary flow is not flowing back into the Ohio River."
While he said they still could have the occasional overflow, for the most part the problems are under control.
"It's going to the Fifth Street lift station (which is) working good most of the time," he said.
But the problems won't be totally eliminated until Phase II, which involves taking sanitary flow from the lift station through a new 16-inch main all the way to the Freedom Way treatment plant about six miles away, where it will be properly treated and then released into the Ohio River.
"Phase II will (bring) a permanent solution," Mastrantoni said.
The work was necessitated by the discovery more than two years ago of abnormally high levels of fecal coliforms in what was supposed to be industrial process water. While fecal levels had always been monitored by millworkers, it wasn't until the steelmaker began removing unneeded structures in the north end and their industrial runoff volumes diminished that they realized the numbers were out of the norm.
In other action, council signed off on a $15,088,365 general fund and coal severance budget for year 2013-14 fiscal year.
"It's been a month, month-and-a-half process," Mayor George Kondik said. "But the budget is balanced for 2013-14, and I'd like to thank everybody for doing it."
Kondik also introduced George Zevios, statewide winner of the "If I Were Mayor" contest.
The city and First Choice America FCU had sponsored the local contest, sending the essays submitted by the three local winners plus all of the other children who had entered the contest to the state for judging.
Zevios was chosen from the statewide field.
Council, meanwhile, also agreed to add a 20-foot yellow line and install a no parking sign across from a driveway at 343 Orr St. on an emergency basis, and removed a handicapped space at 4114 Brooke St. that's no longer needed.
Council also approved the purchase of equipment and professional services for a server upgrade, agreed to put a lien against a property on Orchard that's slated for demolition and agreed to purchase gear lockers for the fire department.

Fun site to look at
Be nice if they gave some idea of what it is made.
Couldn't complete check out. Says a duplicate payment has been received then won't place order. Also, top right and corner of home page says $0.99 shipping on any item but shipping charge was $7.99 plus three bucks for insurance.

Unanswered: Detect Tomcat shutdown from ExtJS4
I have written on application in ExtJS4. Whenever the server goes down (in my case Tomcat container) how can I detect automatically from the app side without invoking any extra polling? I have couple of polling right now implemented in the app. I want to use these polling for piggybacking the response.

I'm creating an app (C#) that is going to send some messages around the network. Outgoing messages will be signed by a private key, incoming messages decrypted with a private key.
In case someone steals the private key, I want to be able to revoke it (send a revocation message to all other clients). Since I'm the owner of the stolen private key, only I must be able to revoke it.
My question: Is it possible to create a public/private key pair, depended on a so-called "Master public/private key pair" I have created before, to use in my app and if the private key in the app got stolen, I can revoke it, because with the master key I can proof that I'm the owner?
Hope someone understand what I mean ;-)
Update 1:
- I'm developing a peer-to-peer app, so there will be no central server / CA
- I'm generating the public/private keys by using the RSACryptoServiceProvider class in C#

What does "calling shotgun" have to do with reservation of a seat near the car driver?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

According to the Phrase Finder, the related phrase riding shotgun has the following original meaning:
For example, the site writes that:
That is, it is a Hollywood reference to the practice of having an armed guard in a stagecoach. The site writes that while there were armed guards in the 1800s, the position was not referred to as "riding shotgun" until later:
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the phrase to 1913, which agrees with some other passages in the Phrase Finder's article:
The use was then adapted in the 1960s (according to the OED) to refer to the front seat of any car. There is no strict date on when "calling shotgun" came into use, but I suspect it came after the 1960s, once the use of shotgun referred to the front passenger seat of a car. Then, "calling shotgun" would be to "calling dibs"; one was laying claim to a particular thing.
This is a bit toungue-in-cheek, and I can't find a good reference for it. But as an Okie I think I may qualify as an expert on this.
In a pickup truck there are three different acknowledged riding positions (well, four if you count the driver).
Now this terminology is a bit dated, as pickups these days double as passenger vechicles, and thus may have bucket seats (no "bitch" position) and back seats which don't fit in this scheme. However, "Shotgun" at least is universal, and has gone into the lexicon for passenger cars and any other conveyance that sports side-by-side passenger seating.

Tuesday, December 09, 2008
(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- Columbia College was recently named one of America's "Top 20 Military Friendly Colleges and Universities" by Military Advanced Education. Now, the college has extended that support to military spouses.
"We recognize the sacrifice that spouses of military servicemembers must make," said Mike Randerson, vice president for Adult Higher Education at Columbia College. "That's why we offer various ways to make earning a college degree more affordable for military spouses."
Columbia College currently offers these opportunities to military spouses:
Military Spouse Tuition Discount Spouses of active, Guard or Reserve military personnel can receive a 20 percent tuition discount for in-seat classes. To be eligible, a military spouse must show a valid military spouse I.D. and not be eligible for tuition assistance under another program.
Spouses Opportunity Scholarship Spouses of active military personnel who are seeking their first degree can take their first, in-seat class at Columbia College for free.
Two-in-Family Grant When two or more immediate family members are enrolled in six credit hours each, they each may receive a $75 tuition discount per session. The grant is renewable with good academic standing and continued full-time enrollment for both family members.
Columbia College has a long tradition of supporting military personnel. It began educating military servicemembers in 1973. Today, more than one-third of Columbia College's 25,000 annual student population is comprised of military, military dependents or veterans.

The 6 Craziest Disguises Ever Used in the History of War
#3. "Tanks" Made from Used Cars and Garbage
During the 1999 Kosovo War, NATO sent hundreds of planes to bomb Serb troops in Kosovo every day for 78 days straight. NATO commanders claimed that this rain of destruction destroyed 120 tanks, 220 armored personnel carriers and 450 artillery pieces and killed 5,000 Serb soldiers.
So imagine their surprise when after the war was over the Serb army that rolled out of Kosovo looked pretty much the same as the one that had rolled in. It turned out NATO had barely touched it. So ... what exactly had they been bombing that whole time? A bunch of laughably bad fakes.
It looks more like the result of a freak car accident that would land someone on 1000 Ways to Die.
The Serbs knew that their air force was complete crap and incapable of defending the country. So, knowing that the NATO bombers would have free rein, they built fake tanks, fake artillery, fake anti-aircraft guns -- basically an entire fake army for the bombers to destroy. And then they put it places where it was sure to be spotted. Real stuff was hidden deep in the woods or inside buildings. And they really didn't try very hard -- here is an "artillery gun" made from a pipe and plastic sheeting ...
Ladies and gentleman, the Fauxitzer.
... which looks more like laundry. What was more important was that they had heaters inside them so they would show up on IR sensors as vehicles with their engines running.
The real stuff was hidden in places like this ...
... and moved around at night or in bad weather (and also massacred innocent people. We didn't say they were good guys).
In the meantime, many mannequins gave their lives for the cause.
#2. Commandos in Fake Boobs and Blackface
The thing about all of the disguises on the list so far is that they looked ridiculous close up -- they only worked because they were being viewed from the air, or from across a smoky battlefield. So what if you had to disguise some commandos who were going to be walking right past enemy guards? You'd have to come up with something amazing -- lives are at stake here.
Or, you come up with something so stupid that the enemy finds it too awkward to make eye contact. Such was the thinking of Israeli special forces commandos who infiltrated Beirut in 1973 to kill three leaders of the PLO. To not arouse suspicion, they took several hulking special forces guys and dressed them up as women, complete with wigs, high heels and fake boobs.
"Uh, guys, the mission's been over for like a month ..."
Pairing up with men dressed as men, they walked along in each other's arms like they were on dates. They walked right past police, bodyguards, etc. without raising any questions, such as why that woman had a five o'clock shadow and an Adam's apple, or what that lump was that looked like an Uzi hidden under their clothes.
When they got to the Palestinian leaders' bedrooms, they kicked in the doors, whipped out their guns and killed everyone.
Oh, and lest you think this was a bad career move, one of the "women" was Ehud Barak, who later became Prime Minister of Israel and is currently Defense Minister.
We repeat: People died because they mistook this man for a woman.
The Israelis hardly invented this technique, by the way. In 1943, 11 Australian commandos, all white, disguised themselves as Malay fishermen by dyeing their skin brown and boarding a fishing boat. They sailed through 2,000 miles of Japanese-controlled ocean from Australia to Singapore. At one point they even traveled right alongside a Japanese warship without them noticing anything strange (which was good, because none of the commandos could speak Malay). They then took canoes right into Singapore Harbor, where they blew up seven Japanese ships before escaping.
So racism is OK as long as you have plenty of bombs and canoes.
But to top them all, Sarah Edmonds, a 21-year-old white woman working as a spy for the Union Army, infiltrated Confederate territory in Virginia disguised as a black man. Somehow, this totally worked, and she snagged the plans to a fort and the identities of some Confederate spies before "escaping" back to Union lines.
Yet neither of her identities were allowed to vote.
#1. A Ship Disguised as an Island
In February 1942, in the midst of World War II, the Japanese completely wrecked a combined Dutch-American-Australian-British fleet at the Battle of the Java Sea. Only four Dutch warships were left in the Dutch East Indies. They decided to try and escape to Australia, but with the seas full of Japanese warships, and the skies swarming with Japanese planes, the chances of sailing through 1,000 miles of hostile ocean to safety were not good. Sure enough, all but one of the ships were sunk within days.
"Save yourselves!"
The only survivor was the minesweeper Abraham Crijnssen. The ship had hardly any guns and was ponderously slow, and the crew knew that making a run straight for Australia would mean getting spotted from the air and bombed into shark food.
So they got a better idea: They would disguise their ship as an island. The crew cut down a bunch of trees and set them up on the deck to look like a jungle canopy. Vertical surfaces were painted to look like rock cliffs.
Deception was much easier back when everything was black and white.
Now, disappearing islands are one thing, but islands slowly moving toward Australia are generally targets for closer investigation. So they could only move after dark, and during daylight hours the ship anchored close to shore to look like just another island. Since there are 17,508 islands in Indonesia, they were gambling that the Japanese probably wouldn't notice that there were now 17,509, and one of them just happened to appear in a different place every day.
It's like a war-themed Magic Eye photo.
By moving a little bit each night, the Abraham Crijnssen evaded a Japanese destroyer that sank some of the other ships trying to get away. No aircraft recognized that one of the islands below them was boat-shaped and had antennae and was changing places every night. After eight days of this, the ship reached Australia and fought with the Allies until the end of the war.
Keep that in mind the next time somebody tells you your stupid idea isn't worth trying.
It tastes just like licking an Irishman.

The English abbreviation OP for the term Original Poster is widely used over the internet. Do the abbreviation and/or the term have widely used equivalents in Spanish?
Sign up

I don't think there really is an accurate translation.
Of course you could literally translate Original Poster in various different ways, the point of OP is to make a very short abbreviation that is very easily recognizable.
So, given that there is no universal set for Spanish, any literal translation you choose will be ok but you won't be able to shorten it.
If it was me, if the site has a relatively internet active community, I would use OP, and explain if it is not clear.
Creador del hilo is a correct, quickly understandable (as in no-brainer - which is good!) and widely used translation of original poster.
I would simply use OP and be done with it. Thanks to the Academies in charge of its standardization, the official Spanish language often evolves more slowly than the needs of its speakers, so quite often you will end up having to choose between deviating from standard Spanish and not being able to say what you want to say.

All Rise...
The Charge
One rebel showed them how to break all the rules.
Opening Statement
To my way of seeing things, Foxfire is one of the more underrated flicks in recent memory. I love teen angst movies with moody, atmospheric modern rock soundtracks. I love movies about underdogs taking on the powers that be. I love beautiful lesbians with bee-stung lips. I love movies that let the ladies step up to the plate and really pound one home. I love Angelina Jolie's breasts, both of them.
Based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates and directed by (at that time) first time feature director Elizabeth White, Foxfire has all of that stuff, so its one of my all time favorite films. I don't know why it didn't get more attention when it came out. But, when I saw it was heading for DVD, I staked my claim for it. Not that I had to push my fellow reviewers out of the way or anything, but what do they know about good teen angst, modern rock, underdog, lesbian, girl-power, breasty movies? Very little I think!
Foxfire is about a group of "definitely not A-list" high school girls about to graduate. Like most girls, and boys, at that age, they are petty much just riding the hormone storm and hoping to make it to college, or whatever else they see in their future. And, like many girls, some in this crowd are also experiencing some sexual abuse from one of the teachers at the school, but are too scared to talk about it.
Maddy, played by Hedy Burress (Getting Personal, Lost and Found), is an aspiring art student. She thinks she's got it down pretty well, with a cool boyfriend and art college coming up soon. She is the co-main character, and provides the narration for the film. Goldie, played by Jenny Shimizu (Ding Dong, The New Women), is a young Asian girl with a drug problem, an abusive, distant father, and a useless stepmother. Violet, played by Sarah Rosenberg, is the local trailer-trash tramp, but we don't get to know much of her background. Rita, played by Jenny Lewis (Pleasantville, Little Boy Blue, Trading Hearts) is a wallflower type, with no real self-esteem, and the primary target of the sexual abuse.
One day, an older and mysterious girl comes to town, played by Angelina Jolie (Girl, Interrupted, Pushing Tin, Gia). By circumstance (or is it?) she crosses their path, and takes them under her wing. Before they know it, she's helped them take their revenge upon the abusive teacher, and given them a taste of the power that they could have if they had the guts to reach out for it. But, she also gives them their first taste of what the system can do when you go against the grain. They get suspended from school for two weeks, no one believes their accusations, and the jocks turn against them because the teacher was their coach.
The girls really begin to bond, and start to hang out in an abandoned house near the river. They start to gain a reputation as outsiders and probably lesbian witches, or whatever people's little minds can come up with. They had never really been friends as such, but the preceding events brought them together and turned them into a bit of a crew.
The jocks get one of their girlfriends to lure Maddy to their car, where they try to kidnap and rape her. But Legs, Jolie's character's nickname, rescues her and they steal the jock's car, get chased by the police, and flip the car down a hill trying to escape. The girls are left off on probation, but Legs gets six months in lockup, because the jocks and the girlfriend lie in court.
Forced apart, and kept home, things begin to calm down a bit. But then they find out that Goldie has run off, and that she is strung out on heroin. They rescue her and attempt to force her father into giving them money to put her into rehab. They won't tell him where Goldie is, because they know what he will do. Eventually, Legs snaps, grabs the father's gun, and they kidnap him. During the kidnapping, Goldie's father is accidentally shot, but not before he hears enough to understand what is really going on with his daughter and to wake him up.
There is one scene in particular that, to me, shows the big difference between a girl-power flick and a guy flick. After they successfully kick the abusive teacher's butt, they retire to the abandoned house that serves as their hideaway. Legs pulls out a home made tattoo kit, whips off her shirt, and tattoos a flame on her breast as a remembrance of their victory. The other girls decide that they want her to give them one as well.
This scene comes off as a very deeply spiritual time of bonding between the girls, but its something that would only work in a girl-power film. Somehow, I'm guessing that you'll never see a film where a couple of guys are bonding and one says, "Chuck, this is really a special moment. Come over here and tattoo your name on my ass." It just wouldn't be the same in some way. Not that I'm complaining or anything, since Angelina's breasts work just fine for me, but its an interesting commentary on the "male vs. female in the movies" thing.
I think that all around this film just has a great vibe to it. Angelina Jolie does a great job with the Legs character. She has just the right mixture of aloof coldness and inner hurt that you feel for her and understand why she does what she does. In particular, when Legs has to get out of Dodge and Maddy can't bring herself to come along, she really nailed the moment and left me all weepy in a big way. Despite being unnaturally beautiful, Jolie can get beyond that and show pain, as she also did well in Gia.
I also found Jenny Shimizu very intriguing. Other than some small part in a film I'd never heard of, this was her first real role I think. Though I'd never heard of her either, she was evidently a model before this. My heart really went out to her character and she pushed a number of my buttons for whatever reason. I'll be interested to see what else she does in the future. Of course I'm a well-known admirer of waifish Asian women, but it was more than that I think.
The Evidence
I was surprised to find out that this film had been given the anamorphic treatment. But it's from Columbia TriStar and they pretty much do everything anamorphic these days. Certainly a film like this would have not stood a chance of being anamorphic not too long ago.
The audio is just 2.0 Dolby Surround. Probably it was no great loss, since this is not an action flick, but it would have been nice to have a 5.1 mix anyway. The modern rock soundtrack is prominent in this film and that was well mixed, from soft ballads to grunge screamers, and it is used to very good effect in setting the atmosphere.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
For an anamorphic disc, the transfer is somewhat disappointing in quality. I assume that they used an old analog laserdisc master or something of that nature? Anyway, it's relatively noisy with a good number of artifacts, though still far better than letterboxed, so I guess I shouldn't complain. If you aren't using a video scaler, you might not notice them all that much. But noisy transfers really give scalers a hard time, and cause even more artifacts than are actually in the material.
It's a bummer that there was no commentary track. Female directors of this caliber material are all too few and far between even now, so it would have been great to hear Elizabeth White's thoughts on the film. I would imagine that it would have been very enlightening. The only extras provided are trailers and a filmography of Angelina Jolie.
Closing Statement
I love this film, and I highly recommend it. Perhaps it's a little more than you might feel comfortable watching with your high school aged daughter, but don't think from my description that it's something that would lead her astray, far from it actually. It is really a film about women asserting themselves and getting their lives on track, despite the obstacles and detours, but also recognizing the ramifications of doing it in the wrong way.
So accidentally leave it for her to watch while you are away if you can't do it in person. I think it would be a good thing for her to see. I wouldn't recommend it for girls under say 16 or so, since it is rated R. But, it would be a waste to only let adults see this film, since it would speak very powerfully to girls of the age of its main characters.
For us adults, if you like teen angst or girl-power films as much as I do, then you'll definitely want to see this one. It could have been given a little more technical attention; but, with content this strong, some sins can be forgiven if necessary.
The Verdict
Columbia gets a stern gaze down the nose from the bench for failing to give this film the transfer it deserves. But the perpetrator is definitely acquitted, for it's efforts in allowing women to express themselves in such a powerful way. The overall judgment value reflects the power of the content, despite the failure to present it in its optimum form.

STEUBENVILLE - Wintersville resident Mark Cole told Visiting Judge Thomas Lipps he witnessed 17-year-old Trent Mays digitally penetrating an underage girl as testimony continued this morning in Day 3 of the Steubenville rape trial.
Mays and 16-year-old Ma'lik Richmond have been charged with raping a 16-year-old Weirton girl during a series of end-of-summer parties Aug. 11-12. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity oriented material for allegedly having and sending a picture of the girl from his cell phone.
Cole testified the alleged contact took place in a vehicle as they traveled from one party to another. He admitted to recording the incident on his iPhone, but said he deleted it the next morning. When asked why, he said, "It was one of those moments when you realize you did something wrong and stupid that night, so I deleted it."
The youth also testified about a series of text messages he sent to and received from Mays and Richmond in the hours and days after the incident allegedly took place, and admitted to consuming between eight and 10 beers that evening. He also testified that he refused to send Mays and others the video that he'd recorded.
He also testified that at one point, he saw the alleged victim and Mays wrapped in a blanket. Earlier, investigators had said they found Mays' semen as well as the girls' DNA on a blanket recovered at the scene and sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for testing.
Cole said he also saw Richmond lying behind the girl and said he believed Richmond was touching her with his hand.
Cole had told the state's attorney that the girl was being very loud and that he believed it was because she was intoxicated. But under cross-examination, Cole told Richmond's attorney, Walter Madison, that all of the partygoers were being loud and he couldn't say with certainty whether the victim was drunk or just trying to be heard above the noise.
Cole also told Madison that a now-infamous picture of the Richmond and Mays holding the girl by her hands and ankles as they carried her out of a party "was a joke" photo and agreed with Madison's assertion that nobody knew what just happened before the photo was taken, or what happened immediately after it was taken.
He also told Madison that he'd told investigators "as much as I could remember and as truthfully as I could."

Can I sprint while flying in Creative Mode to move faster?
Yes, as lunboks explained, you can sprint-fly by sprinting and then flying. I ran a couple tests, and it doesn't actually make you go faster; count in the longer setup time and it's slower.
I've put up a 100m course, where I fly straight for 100 meters. I get myself a few meters for getting a running start, so that this doesn't skew the results. Here's the result. Make sure subtitles are on.
For those who can't view YouTube: Once you remove the setup time, the speed is just about the same. Flying without sprinting oddly wins by a couple tenths (9.33 vs 9.38, roughly), but I just put it to a problem that exists between my monitor and my chain (was I perfectly centered? perfectly aligned? did I avoid swerving at all? etc.).
Yes. If you start flying while sprinting, you'll be sprinting in the air. However, you can only start sprinting while on the ground.
You can verify this by paying attention to your field of vision — both flying and sprinting separately increase your FOV, and if you stop sprinting in mid-air, you'll notice it.
I'm not sure if this actually makes you go any faster or if the flying speed simply overrides sprinting, though if it does, it can't be much.
The flight speed in Minecraft 1.8 is the same as, or faster than the sprinting speed on land. So, it doesn't really matter either way; you'll always go the same speed when flying, from what I can tell.

I want to compile my Android app in a Solaris server. Though, from Android Developers all I can see are Windows/MacOS/Linux versions. Does anyone know if I can install and use the Linux binaries in a Solaris machine? If not, are there alternatives?
Unless there exist tools to make linux binaries run on Solaris you won't be able to use the Android SDK binaries on Solaris, except java based ones. If the Android SDK is open source you could of course compile it on solaris, however I was unable to determine if it is open source.
The alternative would be to set up a linux (virtual) machine. My distribution of choice would be Debian stable (which is what I use for Android development).
Your going to need gnu make 1.8 I believe its very specific to that. You may also need GCC Gnu not Unix C Compiler. If you can get those and Sun-java6-sdk running on Unix, let us all know. Python 2.6-7, build-essential, a lot of other stuff to that you may not be able the get the source for like sun-java. Though I have heard of some successes with CM and Open-java-sdk . Its hard to imagine sun wouldn't have a Unix binary.
More I think about it. Why the hell did they leave gnu n GPL (ie glibc) if its all the foundation for building android?

Take a look at Blood of the Demon by Rosalie Lario
Entangled Publishing
Paranormal Romance
Keegan lives to exact revenge on the evil demon who sired and abused him. When his father devises a plan to bring on the apocalypse, he and his three half-brothers, interdimensional bounty hunters for the Elden Council, are charged with capturing and delivering their father for punishment.
Art gallery owner Brynn Meyers has no idea that her ability to read memories embedded in objects and drain people of their life force means she has demon ancestry. Unfortunately for Brynn, she's also the key to raising an ancient zombie army, which puts her on every demon's Most Wanted List.
And no one wants her more than Keegan's father.
Keegan must protect Brynn from his father by any means necessary, but he'll have to learn to harness the other half of his genetics—the far deadlier, uncontrollable half—when he starts to fall for the one woman standing between him and the vengeance he so desperately seeks. The one woman he'll never be able to resist.

Wal-Mart wants to be your doctor with new in-store clinics
Groceries, clothes, school supplies — you can get everything at Wal-Mart — and soon that might include health care.
The retail giant recently opened up six health care clinics inside some of its stores in Texas and South Carolina and it plans to open another six by the end of the year.
This isn't Wal-Mart's first stab at the health care industry — they've made deals with local health care providers to put clinics in their stores in the past, but the efforts have been hit and miss.
But this time the clinics are fully owned by Wal-Mart and staffed by nurse practitioners, medical assistants and physicians.
CVS and Walgreens already have urgent care centers at some of their stores, but the Wal-Mart clinics are being marketed as primary care facilities, capable of treating common illnesses as well as chronic diseases such as diabetes.
A visit to one of these locations will cost just $40 plus lab fees. For employees, it's even lower — just $4 a visit.
To find out about test market locations and more, watch this Newsy video.

SIO SDK 0.7.10 Released
We just updated the SDK and the documentation.
This release includes several fixes that will improve the reliability of an apps connection to sencha.io. We encourage you to update your applications as soon as possible.
The release notes includes the list of changes since the last release:
Post to the forum, or email firstname.lastname@example.com, if you experience any problems.
14 Feb 2013 5:30 AM #2
Do you encourage us to update to this version even for an app which will be submitted tomorrow for the HTML5 contest? Does this version is more stable than 0.7.8 and enough tested to do the switch? (many issues in device communication when using user.send() with 0.7.8).
In any case, thanks for the update
14 Feb 2013 6:59 AM #3
Please upgrade if you have time to re-test your application before the deadline.
We have been getting feedback directly from other users and have been observing the real-world requests from app developers over the few weeks and have made these changes.
The addition of the expires field should be useful if you were sending a lot of status type messages where you don't want the messages to be sent to the server unless they can be sent in a specific amount of time.
We have also made many adjustments to our server infrastructure to help ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
15 Feb 2013 5:12 PM #4
I finally upgraded and, after many tests, found that this version is much more reliable than 0.7.8.
Thanks for your work

On your big game list this week, how about tonight's Pomperaug at Lauralton Hall battle in Milford. Coach Joe Fortier's Panthers are 17-0 and ranked second in the state media poll while Lauralton Hall is 14-1 and ranked sixth.
Lauralton's only loss this season was a 66-47 defeat at the hands of Mercy, also a top 10 team.
"It is something to see where we are," said Fortier. "We know we can see them in two weeks in the SWC Tournament and either one of us will be the No. 1 or 2 seed. We just played Joel Barlow and Notre Dame so we've had some tough games. There are no easy games in February."
Gabbie Holness leads the Panthers with a 22.5 points-pergame average. In 17 games, the All-State senior, who surpassed the 1,000th career point mark this season, has scored 383 points.
Morgan Metcalf is next in scoring with a 14.4 average (244 points) followed by her sister, Hannah (11.0 average, 187 points).
