Sebastian Vettel wrapped up his third successive Drivers' Championship with a sixth place in Sunday's tumultous Brazilian GP, a race won by Jenson Button
In a grand prix that lived up to its billing as the season finale, the race lead was held by three different drivers, one of which was Force India's Nico Hulkenberg. He and Jenson Button made the best of the mixed conditions, until a Safety Car on Lap 23 brought them back in range of the field.
Lewis Hamilton exited the race after Hulkenberg crashed into him, leaving the Ferraris in second and third behind Button. However the biggest drama came on Lap 1 when Sebastian Vettel survived a double hit by the Williams of Brono Senna and was spun to the back of the field. The Red Bull endured an afternoon of nerve-wracking moments until Vettel finally brough the car home in sixth place.
Race Report
Prior to the cars forming up on the grid, Michael Schumacher made a lap of the track with a Thank-You banner attached to his Mercedes as he retired from F1 for the second (and final) time. It had been dry in the morning but in the last few minutes before the grid cleared the rain started to spit down. The ambient temperature was just 19C and the track at 21C.
Seven rows of grid: 1.Hamilton, 2.Button, 3.Webber, 4.Vettel, 5.Massa, 6.Hulkenberg, 7.Alonso, 8.Raikkonen, 9.Rosberg, 10.DiResta, 11.Senna, 12.Perez, 13.Schumacher, 14.Kobayashi
As the red lights went out the Mclarens were away fairly well, but it was the Ferraris who were really on the move, Massa came round the outside of both Red Bulls and swept past Jenson Button into P2.
Behind him Fernando Alonso got past the slow-starting Nico Hulkenberg and came round the outside of Mark Webber. Webber had already ruined Vettel's start by crowding him to the inside but managed to get back in front of Alonso through Turn 2.
Vettel being blocked by his team-mate slowed him through Turns 1 and 2 and allowed Hulkenberg though into P6 as they all piled down the hill into the tricky Lake Descent turn. Bruno Senna was behind Kimi Raikkonen and Paul Di Resta but still launched himself up the inside of Di Resta and struck Vettel who was ahead of them all. Raikkonen left the track and ran wide and Senna's Williams had two hits on the Red Bull and spun it round.
Sergio Perez tried to take avoiding action but was collected by the Williams and both were out on the spot. Vettel meanwhile was in the middle of the track and allowed his car to roll down hill, all the time keeping his car straight so the field could pass either side. He resumed plain last.
Button overtook Massa on the slippery opening lap and as the cars crossed the line the order was: 1.Hamilton, 2.Button, 3.Massa, 4.Webber, 5.Alonso, 6.Heidfeld, 7.DiResta, 8.Raikkonen, 9.Maldonado, 10. Kobayashi, 11.Rosberg, 12.Ricciardo.
Felipe Massa slowed at the end of Lap 1 which allowed Webber to draw alongside on the outside of the Ferrari and Alonso through on the inside, Fernando moving from P5 to P3 in one move. Massa managed to hang onto P4, though not for long.
The man making the most of the slippery conditions was Nico Hulkenberg who was past Webber on Lap 3 and up into P4. The positions at the front were now: 1.Hamilton, 2.Button, 3.Alonso, 4.Hulkenberg, 5.Webber, 6.Massa, 7.DiResta, 8.Raikkonen
Alonso was trying very hard and on Lap 5 ran wide at Turn 1 allowing Hulkenberg up to P3, but he managed to scramble across the run-off to keep ahead of Webber and Massa. Romain Grosjean went careering off into the barriers on Lap 6
By Lap 7 the two Mclarens were getting very racy with Jenson Button excelling in mixed conditions and challenging Hamilton for the lead. The slight drizzle had continued and lap times weren't improving, but the two McLarens and the Force India were pulling away from the Ferrari of Alonso.
Mark Webber was hit by Kobayashi and spun on Lap 7 and with all the chaos of cars running wide Sebastian Vettel was up to P8 on Lap 7 and an amazing P6 by Lap 8.
A lap later and Jenson Button, who'd been pressuring Hamilton into Turn 1, was through into the lead. By Lap 9 he was 1.6 seconds clear of Hamilton. With the rain getting worse drivers started to head for pitlane for intermediate tyres. Kimi Raikkonen had already been in for intermediate tyres at the end of Lap 5 and wasn't going quicker than the leaders but the lap time was only two seconds behind.
On Lap 9 Nico Rosberg and Mark Webber pitted for inters and on Lap 10 Hamilton and Alonso were in for them, too. The whole field would eventually come in for inters except the two out front. What was more interesting was that Button and Hulkenberg were still going quicker than the rest of the field on slicks and a dry line started to emerge.
As it got drier, so Hulkenberg edged closer to Button and was alongside him on Lap 17 and through into the lead on Lap 18. At this stage drivers realised that inters weren't the tyre to be on and came back into the pitlane for slicks. This meant that on Lap 20, Hulkenberg and Button (neither of whom had pitted) had a massive 45 second lead and everyone else had pitted at least twice.
Positions on Lap 21: 1.Hulkenberg, 2. Button, 3.Hamilton, 4.Alonso, 5.Vettel, 6.Kobayashi, 7.Webber, 8.Di Resta, 9.Ricciardo, 10.Vergne, 11.Raikkonen, 12.Massa
Vettel was almost the slowest down the main straight and while Adrian Newey looked at photos of Vettel's broken floor from his position on the pitwall, the team tried to keep in radio contact with their driver - which was proving to be intermittant. He had Alonso in sight just in front of him on the road who was a massive 65 seconds behind the leader.
Following midfield clashes some parts of wings and broken carbon fibre were littering the track and Alonso made sure he was on team radio complaining there was "too much debis on the track." The following lap (lap 23) the Safety Car was dispatched, though more in response to Nico Rosberg picking up a puncture from running over it than suggestions from the Ferrari driver.
Hulkenberg and Button immediately pitted for tyres and it took a long time for the field to close up and then the lapped cars (of which there were many) to unlap themselves. Finally it came in at the end of Lap 29 and Hulkenberg made a good getaway.
Webber looked to be causing more problems for Vettel by overtaking him on the restart and while the Aussie went round the outside into Turn 1 - and ran wide onto the run-off - Kamui Kobayashi passed Vettel on the inside. With the pack bunched up Webber lost a shedload of places.
Hamilton, who had been half a lap behind Button, then overtook his team-mate on Lap 31. Kobayashi, who was very fast down the pit straight passed Alonso for P4 and the following lap Alonso was back past him again to return the status quo.
Positions on Lap 33: 1.Hulkenberg, 2.Hamilton, 3.Button, 4.Alonso, 5.Kobayashi, 6.Vettel, 7.Massa 8.Ricciardo, 9.DiResta 10.Schumacher, 11.Webber, 12.Raikkonen
Rather than risk anything, Vettel let Massa pass him on Lap 34 as the race settled down for a rare moment. The battle between the new teams was hotting up with Caterham's Vitaly Petrov into P13 and Marussia's Charles Pic (who would be at Caterham in 2013) behind in P14. Massa overtook Kamui Kobayashi in a brave move around the outside into Turn 4 Lake Descent, on Lap 36 and the Ferraris were now running 4th and 5th.
Hamilton began to catch Hulkenberg with Button a couple of seconds back. The Force India driver was complaining of slight gearbox issues as the McLaren closed to 1.2 seconds on Lap 45.
Vettel had been dropping off Kobayashi very quickly all of a sudden - on Lap 50 the gap moved out by a second to 2.5 seconds, and then a lap later it was 3.7 seconds. So the Red Bull came in at the end of Lap 52 for more medium tyres.
This was happening as the track was getting slippier and on Lap 53 Alonso lost two seconds on the cars in front in Sector 2 alone. Kimi Raikkonen ran wide off track and headed for what he thought was a route back onto the track but in fact it was the old circuit and he suddenly had to spin the car round and go back the way he had come. Rallycrossing across the grass to get back on the circuit.
On Lap 54 Hamilton tried to make a move around the outside of Hulkenberg going into Turn 1. Hamilton was in front when Hulkenberg lost control of his car, his rear wheel spinning into Lewis's left front and breaking the suspension.
Hamilton was out on the spot and Hulkenberg would get a drive-through penalty for his lack of care. Jenson Button was now through into the lead but Hulkenberg continued in P2. Then to add to the drama, the rain began to get even worse.
So Vettel had to take on inters having just stopped for slicks, but more surprising, Fernando Alonso was due to come in for inters at the end of Lap 56 but kept on going, thus losing out on a whole chunk of time and allowing Felipe Massa past him. Button and Hulkenberg pitted for inters, Hulkenberg served his drive-through penalty which all shook out to.
Positions on Lap 59: 1>Button, 2.Massa, 3.Alonso, 4.Hulkenberg, 5.Webber, 6.Schumacher, 7.Vettel, 8.Kobayashi, 9.Vergne, 10.DiResta.
The intensity of the rain grew and lap times slowed and there were thoughts that the full wet tyre might soon be needed. Button's engineer asked him repeatedly if he was "happy on that tyre" (the inter). But the moment for full wets didn't arrive. Massa duly let Alonso catch him and pass him. Mark Webber passed Hulkenberg for P4 and Michael Schumacher moved over to let his fellow countryman past from P7 into P6.
Thus in the final six laps Alonso, twenty seconds in arrears, had to rely on Button falling off the road or encountering mechanical problems to win the championship. As it was, we didn't get to Lap 71 before the race was over. There was water coming off the hill down the start/finish straight which Paul DiResta's Force India hit, snapping the car into the barrier. Button had also encountered it and had held a snap slide from the MP4-27. With a broken car on the straight there was no option to bring out the Safety Car and the field cruised to the flag with Button winning the opening and closing GPs of the season.
Thus Sebastian Vettel became the youngest triple World Champion and Ferrari hearts were broken yet again. Alonso finished second ahead of Massa, Webber, Hulkenberg, Vettel, Schumacher, Vergne, Kobayashi and Raikkonen.
Vitaly Petrov passed Charles Pic on Lap 66 to take the all-important 12th place, which became 11th at the flag with the removal of DiResta. Yet again the Brazilian Grand Prix had served up an epic drama and one which looked to have an unfortunate ending for Red Bull on Lap 1.

Assassin's Creed III has been revamped to include new features. A new mode called the Wolf Pack Mode allows players to join together to battle NPC's. Of course the standard Assassinate mode is also available in multiplayer also.
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
Assassin's Creed 3 is here with a huge bang, this game was developed in 2012 by Activision and once again they have come up with the goods.
You take on the role of an Assassin and your mission is to take down the Templars and try to stop the end of humanity, the Templars seek to control mankind and control people who live in the era in which the game is set, the 18th Century, around the time when the American Civil War was in being fought, and although the story is fictitious there are elements within the game which have been based on historical events.
The game is beautiful in construction, the scenery stands out and although there are several slight errors within the game itself, but these are nothing to get too alarmed about. For instance, when you are saddled up on the horse as you visit several places, occasionally the horse will fail to jump over even the simplest of obstacles. There was also an instance of a soldier stuck in a tree for no apparent reason.
Other slight problems with the latest series include the combat situations. During combat we hit a Templar several times with an Axe, over 20 times in fact, and yet he still fights on. One Templar also had an Axe embedded in his head, yet he also continued to fight. I would have preferred an increase in Templars and rivals rather than adopting this approach of making them almost indestructible during the game. However most rivals that you will encounter can be taken down relatively easily with practice.
You also get various weapons including Swords, Axes, Smoke Bombs, and Pistols, as well as others not listed here. You also get hidden blades on both arms, enabling stealth approach killing, mid air combat strikes, and up close and personal attacks. Other in game tactics include timing. One example used in order to successfully eliminate all opponents without being hit relies on the timing of various buttons during combat, which, with practice, really improves the overall experience of being an Assassin.
In my opinion Assassin's Creed 3 is probably one of the best adventure games I have ever laid my hands on, the original Assassin's Creed set the benchmark, and this is no different, it is simply epic and deserves a place at the very top of what the Xbox 360 can achieve.

Is there a way in Ubuntu to find community written Lenses? Something similar to https://extensions.gnome.org/. The Ubuntu Software Center would be a good place in Ubuntu!
Ideally, all community-written lenses should be submitted to the Ubuntu Software Centre, so that users can benefit from them.
The process to get them in the Software Centre is really easy, so if you see any lens that might be worth making available to millions of users, the best thing is to point developer to how to publish them:
What lenses for Unity are available? provides a list of most lenses that I've heard of. If you would like to follow development more closely, I'd recommend looking at this Google+ profile: https://plus.google.com/104126327661540805262/posts. I believe OMG!Ubuntu plan on creating a repository for lenses (Source: Will there be a place for example a website or a PPA that holds all the lenses for Unity?). In Ubuntu 12.04, you may be able to find lenses within the Software Centre itself (source: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/unity-integration-to-run-deeper-in-ubuntu-12-04/)
If you would like to create your own, you may consult either:

WHEELING - With cannon blasts, a volley of musket fire and three cheers of "Hip, hip, huzzah!" from the crowd, the spirit of 1863 was in full force Thursday as West Virginia's birthplace marked the state's sesquicentennial.
Hundreds - some decked out in bonnets, hoop skirts and stovepipe hats - lined up on 16th Street in front of West Virginia Independence Hall beneath a warm sun and clear sky to take part in a celebration similar to that which took place June 20, 1863, the day President Abraham Lincoln's proclamation admitting West Virginia as the Union's 35th state went into effect.
Those who showed up early to stake out the best spots were treated to music by the Wildcat Regiment Band of the 105th Pennsylvania volunteers re-enactment group. The noon ceremony began to the chime of church bells ringing throughout downtown, when bells around Wheeling tolled in celebration of statehood. A 35-member choir sang the national anthem, and the Rev. Deborah Gable of St. James Lutheran Church gave an opening prayer.

Mayor Andy McKenzie noted with pride that Wheeling holds the distinction of having served as the capital of two states. The city served as the seat of the loyal "restored government" of Virginia from 1861-63, as well as West Virginia's capital on two different occasions. Though the capital moved to Charleston for good in 1885, Wheeling's place in history as the state's birthplace, he said, can never be erased.
"What makes this day even more special is that this is the spot where our state was created in 1863. ... Without Wheeling, there would be no West Virginia," McKenzie said.
Dressed as statehood movement leader Francis Harrison Pierpont, West Virginia Independence Hall Site Manager Travis Henline highlighted the two long years of debate and effort amid the turmoil of the Civil War that ultimately resulted in the state's unique creation at a time when the future of the Union remained in doubt, many Americans clamoring for a negotiated peace with the Confederates.
"There was nothing guaranteed. There were no foregone conclusions in this experiment," Henline said.
Henline also re-enacted Pierpont's farewell speech, delivered upon his departure to lead the restored government of Virginia and prepare to bring the state back into the Union fold after West Virginia was established. Local actor and playwright Jeremy Richter followed with a portrayal of West Virginia's first governor, Arthur Boreman, giving his inaugural address.
Though they could not attend Thursday because Congress is in session, several members of West Virginia's delegation sent their thoughts on the historic occasion in writing.
Henline read a tribute from Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who said he found his "forever home" when he moved to the Mountain State as a young man about 50 years ago. West Virginia, he soon learned, is "a place where the mountains touch the heavens ... supper time is family time ... (and) patriotism means more than waving a flag."
"We ache for it when we're away, and we smile when the words 'Wild and Wonderful' greet us at the state line," Rockefeller, D-W.Va., wrote.
In a statement read by Wheeling National Heritage Area Corp. Executive Director Jeremy Morris, Rep. David McKinley, R-Wheeling, pointed to the state's rise from challenging early years to become a vital part of the nation's economy through its abundant natural resources, and in more recent years, new industries such as biotech and aerospace. And through his Northern Panhandle representative, Mary Jo Guidi, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., called the contentious months leading to statehood "a time to choose between what is right and what is wrong" for the state's founders.
"Today and every day, take time to remember those who fought for statehood, allowing us to promote our goals of unity and equality," Manchin wrote.
Descendants of several important figures in West Virginia's founding were on hand, including Pierpont and Boreman, Daily Intelligencer Editor Archibald Campbell and statehood convention delegate Chester Hubbard.
Following the ceremony, the crowd was invited inside Indpendence Hall to enjoy birthday cake and more music from the Wildcat Regiment Band.

Police in eastern Kentucky say they are investigating after the same graffiti — the letters KKK — showed up on all the stop signs in one Bell County neighborhood.
Police Chief Charles Matthews told WYMT-TV that officers are searching for the people responsible. He says KKK is usually associated with the Ku Klux Klan, but police aren't sure whether that group is responsible. He says it could just be vandals.
Matthews says the stop signs will be replaced. He says new signs have already been ordered, but it takes a while for them to come in, especially during the holidays.
Matthews says the graffiti began showing up about two weeks ago, but there's been no other problems.

In the final moments of CBS Sunday Morning, Charles Osgood broke the news that they'd just learned legendary reporter Mike Wallace had passed away. He was 93 years old. That led into the first segment of Face the Nation, where an emotional Bob Schieffer paid tribute to his colleague and they played a piece Morley Safer put together on Wallace for 60 Minutes. Of all for which Mike Wallace is known, the final quote is what stuck with me:
"It's astonishing what you learn and feel and see along the way. That's why a reporter's job, as you know, is such a joy," he told Safer.
I would think most journalists would wholeheartedly agree with Wallace's statement. Even if you didn't appreciate his style of reporting, the quote reveals why he loved his job and that job was to share those lessons, feelings and sights with all of us.
As a young journalist, you watch a lot of reporters, digesting what you see, taking bits and pieces from each presentation, each writing style. That's not to say you copy, but you can emulate - taking the best of all worlds to settle into your own. From Wallace, I think you learn to appreciate the value of the tough question. I might not be a fan of the so-called "ambush interview" (although sometimes you have no other choice), but I do believe you can't be afraid to ask questions that might be difficult or controversial. You can't worry about whether someone will like the question when it's your job to get an answer. That said, it's been said many of those whom Wallace grilled had a great respect for him because he knew how to be direct with his questions, as opposed to disrespectful or offensive.
I'm not sure I'll work til the age of 89, like Wallace did, but I hope I enjoy the learning, feeling and seeing for many more years to come. It's why the job is such a joy - getting to share it all with you.

I created a Group for a reunion and did not choose a "administrator" to run the group. Left it open for individuals in the group to add people. I accidentally removed myself from my group (duh) and requested to join again. Who will get this? and let me back in? The group was also removed from my page and I can not edit anything. I am waited to be added but not
I'm afraid that the only way to do this is to write a request to Facebook staff, describe situation and wait for their reaction.
I see many questions like that on the web with no answers at all and I think no one found a workaround.

Huskies' Mosqueda-Lewis to have MRI today
UConn All-American injured arm in win over Stanford
|Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma, right, looks at injured player Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, center, as she is tended to by assistant athletic trainer Rosemary Ragle, left, Team Physician Dr. Thomas Trojian, top center, and student athletic trainer Lauren Sheldon, second from right, during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game, Monday, Nov. 11, 2013, in Storrs, Conn. Mosqueda-Lewis left the game with an injury to her right elbow. Connecticut won 76-57. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
The extent of the injury is unknown. She was lying on the court for several minutes writhing in pain and screaming out loudly enough to be heard over the crowd initially before everyone in the arena quieted. After being examined by the Huskies' medical staff, she was helped from the court by athletic trainer Rosemary Ragle and led directly to the trainer's room.
Coach Geno Auriemma said after the game that he's not sure how badly either the arm or the elbow were hurt, and he wasn't about to speculate other than to say he wouldn't expect her to play this weekend. She left the arena with her arm in a sling after the game was over, and she is scheduled to have an MRI on her arm today.
As Mosqueda-Lewis grabbed a defensive rebound, Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike fell to the floor near the feet of the UConn forward. Mosqueda-Lewis tried to avoid stepping on Ogwumike and in the process fell forward awkwardly. She hit the ground first with the palm of her right hand but she fell so hard that her elbow hit hard onto the court.
"In that moment it was kind of scary just the way she reacted," Bria Hartley said. "I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that before. So when I was talking, me and Stef (Dolson) were kind of like shaking just the way she was screaming. I'm kind of scared for her and what happened. Hopefully, she's going to be alright and we just want to pray for her safe recovery."
While lying on the ground, Mosqueda-Lewis was crying out loud, asking for help and kicking her feel in agony as she held onto her right elbow.
The team had to regroup quickly. The Huskies were leading, 41-26, at the time of the injury thanks in part to nine points from Mosqueda-Lewis including a 3-pointer at the end of the first half, but it was a difficult situation.
"It was 'Oh my gosh, I hope she is OK,'" Stokes said. "You always hope for the best, but you never know. The coaches told us, 'She is being taken care of. We have to go out and finish this game.' I think we did a pretty good job of that. We still don't know how she is. We are praying for her and hoping for the best."
Auriemma said it is hard to tell based just on Mosqueda-Lewis' reaction just how severe the injury is.
"Some people just scream and yell like they've just got run over by a car, and then it turns out that it's nothing," Auriemma said. "Because mostly they're panicking. They're scared. That's why they cry and scream and yell and you look at their face and they're like in shock because they're scared to death."
He said it is so difficult to know, because he also remembers running a 3-on-2 drill in practice one day when Sue Bird said she felt something in her knee. He asked her if she was alright, and she told him she was fine and kept practicing. It turns out she had torn the ACL in her knee.
"So sometimes it's confusing because everybody reacts differently to what happens," Auriemma said. "Some minor things hurt like hell, and some major things don't hurt at all. I've kind of learned to just wait and let it go and wait for them to stop hyperventilating because it hurts and just wait until the doctors and Rosemary tell me what's going on."
Hartley said that she was able to talk to Mosqueda-Lewis briefly after the game, and that was at least a little bit encouraging.
"She just said that it is probably one of the most painful things she has felt, but she said she is going to be alright," Hartley said. "I wasn't able to get much. I just want to pray for a healthy recovery for her. Hopefully she is not out too long. We don't really know what the diagnosis is."
Losing Mosqueda-Lewis for any length of time would be a big blow for the team. She not only led the team in scoring last season at 17.6 points per game, but she was the Huskies' most efficient player. She led the nation in 3-point shooting at 49.2 percent and shot 52.8 percent overall from the field. She also averaged the third-highest rebounds with 6.2 per game, was second on the team with 57 steals and had 89 assists.
Auriemma said it is difficult to watch Mosqueda-Lewis suffer in so much pain, both because she is such a nice kid and because the team needs her.
"From my standpoint, we are playing with our fingers crossed the entire season," Auriemma said. "So anything that we see that looks like that is kind of disheartening a little bit."

A photon emitted from a receding source (Doppler redshift) has less energy when detected at an observer's location. Please explain the energy loss from the perspective of energy conservation.
Consider the following scenario: I am on a train moving away from you. I throw a ball to you. The speed of the ball as measured by you when you catch it, is less than the speed of the ball as measured by me when I threw it. Where did the energy go?
This situation is precisely the same as the Doppler shift situation you describe. In both cases, there's no problem with energy conservation, because the energies in question are measured in two different reference frames. Energy conservation says that, in any given reference frame, the amount of energy doesn't change. It says nothing about how the energy in one frame is related to the energy in another frame.
If it is a gravitational redshift, to a first, non-rigorous order, the energy loss is due to the fact that it is moving in a gravitational field, and thus is gaining potential energy while losing kinetic energy.
If it is a redshift due to the actual motion of the object, then the energy lost in the redshift is imparted to the object doing the emitting since energy and momentum are conserved in the emission process--it is an energy transfer due to recoil.

(CBS/AP) BATON ROUGE, La. - State emergency officials say at least 13,000 homes in Louisiana were damaged by Hurricane Isaac.
The numbers are the first official damage estimates from the storm, which struck a week ago.
Christina Stephens, spokeswoman for the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, says the figures are "very preliminary," based on an initial assessment of communities with flooding and wind damage.
She says in some areas, flooding limits where damage assessment teams can go. She says the numbers could rise after FEMA finishes its house-by-house inspections in the hardest-hit parishes.
Meanwhile, the widespread power outages caused by Isaac have nearly all been repaired. The Public Service Commission says nearly 38,000 homes and businesses remained without electricity Tuesday, about 2 percent of customers.
About 1,500 evacuees remain in shelters.
Also, Gov. Bobby Jindal has declared a statewide public health emergency to let government workers enter private property to assess and remove nuisance debris from Hurricane Isaac that poses a health hazard.
His statement Monday notes that widespread flooding continues in some areas.
The state has issued more than 200 water boil advisories and has lost more than 40 percent of the electrical power statewide for an extended period.
It also notes that every parish in the state issued an emergency declaration and many issued evacuation orders, and that health care may be disrupted for people who had to move out of their homes.

If You Were 40 and Had Pharrell Williams' Skin, You'd Be "Happy" Too
The Oscar nominee credits Naomi Campbell for teaching him this simple skin care "secret"
Dancing with folks of all ages -- including little kids -- on stage at Los Angeles' Dolby Theater, Williams looked every bit as happy as the song implores us to be. He also looked much younger than his 40 years.
READ: 18 Best Face Cleaners
Are singing, dancing and being nominated for an Academy Award the secret to Williams' preternatural appearance? Maybe. But skin care tips gleaned from pal Naomi Campbell (who has been around the beauty block a few times) have, no doubt, had a hand in his youthful good looks. The best part? His routine is about as basic as it gets.
"[My secret is] Washing my face, paying attention to it. I mean little small stuff. Naomi Campbell taught me a couple of tricks back in the day," the Virginia Beach native said on the Angie Martinez's New York radio show. "Washing my face with cold water to keep pores closed, little small stuff. You just gotta wash your face. I use Cetaphil."
Williams' admits that there might be a little more to his success in keeping father time's hands off his face than simply washing with the TotalBeauty.com Total Beauty Awards winner.
"Nah I'm not Benjamin Button people say my parents look pretty young too, and I can comfortably say that about them too," the hip hop star admits.
"Listen guys you've just got to wash your face. Once a day. I don't use creams or toners!"
Sage advice from someone for whom it's clearly working. Clap along if you feel like these tips are the truth.

The Saudi-based International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) has contributed SR 8,950,000 [$2.39 million] worth of relief assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.
This includes a SR 3,750,000 [$1 million] contribution to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
The IIRO is preparing to contribute a similar amount to finance the construction of a field hospital in Gaza. It also plans to provide food, medical supplies and shelter for the homeless.
The IIRO has initiated several programs to assistant Palestinians, in coordination with the UNRWA, the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Is there a word in RP (Received Pronunciation) where the stressed vowel sound is a schwa?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Unlike other answers here, the answer is no. The schwa
You can see the Weak and strong forms as an example. Same goes for nouns.
Father is an example, or see this Wikipedia article, where I found this list:
Like I said under z7sg's answer, I can't understand why some dictionaries disagree.
In the past I had to train for Uni in order to recognize the different "vowel" sounds in English, I'm talking about BrE, and I found this, the British Council / BBC Phonemic Chart.
If you click on
The difference can be heard when saying "Teach[er]" and "B[ir]d".
See also this. When I used to do IPA transcriptions in my faculty, the schwa always figured in the unstressed syllables.
The word schwa can mean two things:
If we go by the first definition, which is a phonological definition, then the answer is no, there are no stressed schwas in Received Pronunciation because schwa refers exclusively to unstressed sounds.
If we go by the second definition, which is a purely phonetic definition, then the answer is a resounding "maybe". The second definition says "in IPA phonetic transcription" meaning the word schwa could refer to a vowel sound (in any language) that has the vowel quality defined as "mid-central". Traditional phonetic descriptions of Received Pronunciation give the vowel quality of the NURSE lexical set as [ɜː], which is the IPA for an open-mid central unrounded vowel, a sound very close to but not quite the same as a mid-central vowel. However, a careful narrow transcription of some particular speaker's production of the NURSE vowel might be given using the symbol [ə], in which case you could make the claim that this is a "stressed schwa"
Nevertheless, this is a pretty contrived scenario. The usual symbol used to transcribe the NURSE vowel is [ɜː] not [ə].
To quote wikipedia:
So it seems it has two meanings. One which by definition is unstressed. The other which can be in some languages.
No. Schwa is never stressed in any English word.
The human voice is capable of stressing it of course and schwa is indeed stressed in other languages including Romanian.
For me, the first vowel in "children" is pretty damn close to a stressed schwa. Dictionaries tend to list it as a short i, to which I say, maybe in your dialect. But I think it's probably unique.
What about word because? Especially it's weak form. According to Collin's, Cambridge, Oxford dictionary it's /bɪˈkəz/.

I am using RSyntaxTextArea with a german keyboard layout. It seems some of the shortcuts are not working (e.g. toggle comments CTRL-/) as in the german layout some of the keys are special keys that are activated using SHIFT.
Is there a workaround for this problem or any chance this gets fixed/customizable in a future version?

I've heard Astronomers talking about backlit CCD sensors, and talking about how much better they are than other types. What are they, why might I want to get one, and what are the pros/cons of this compared to related technologies?
A backlit sensor isn't really a new kind of sensor, it's just a different arrangement of the imaging elements to allow more light into the sensor. From Wikipedia:
They're not without issues though:
Backlit sensors improve the low-light performance of a CCD chip, reducing the ISO needed for low-light conditions (and thus reducing noise). This is a clear benefit to astrophotographers, allowing them to use shorter exposures with less noise to get equivalent shots.

Simon Donaldson apparently made the following conjecture: Two closed symplectic 4-manifolds $(X_1,\omega_1)$ and $(X_2,\omega_2)$ are diffeomorphic if and only if $(X_1\times S^2,\omega_1\oplus\omega)$ is deformation-equivalent to $(X_2\times S^2,\omega_2\oplus\omega)$. Here $\omega$ is a symplectic structure on $S^2$, and a deformation-equivalence is a diffeomorphism $\phi:X_1\times S^2\to X_2\times S^2$ such that $\omega_1\oplus\omega$ and $\phi^*(\omega_2\oplus\omega)$ can be joined by a path of symplectic forms.
However, where I read this did not contain any background or the original source. Where did Donaldson make this claim? And why did he make this claim? What is the motivation / are there good examples where this holds? Ivan Smith showed (through examples) that this conjecture fails when we replace $S^2$ by $\mathbb{T}^2$, so the statement itself seems pretty rigid.

I am analyzing the traffic of a VOIP application. I started up wireshark, and made sure no other application was using internet, and then had a a voice call on the application. Wireshark captured some nice UDP packets for me. I did that three times for voice and three times for video. Now I want to analyze the traffic, that is, find out what kind of traffic is there, or whether there are any application specific patterns etc.
I did read up on google to right click on a packet and select decode as -> RTP - but then I don't see any RTP header or payload, all I see is Version: Version draft 1 in under the RTP heading.
Any help or guidance in this regard is appreciated.
BTW - I am reading RFCs and what now, but still can't figure out how to analyse traffic and figure out whether RTP is there or not, and if it is, whether the media is transferred using just this, or something else too?

I have a MacBook Pro 4.1. In the past - from time to time - you could feel a bit of electricity close to the aluminium case when working in AC mode, but now things are getting worse. I can feel the electricity all the time, especially close to the opening button and to the corners. Talking with other MBP users, I have been told that the whole MBP 1.4 series has got this problem and that it is due to the presence of the aluminium case. Is it a known issue? Is there any workaround to properly ground the laptop?
The mac can only ground itself through the magsafe connector if you are using a grounded plug. In the us - the "duck head" two prong connector is ungrounded.
The adapter article from Apple has some good tips and a nice picture.
You shouldn't be able to feel any tingle due to you being better grounded than the mac if your outlet is properly grounded.
You'll have to check with an electrician or take your mac to another outlet that is known to be properly grounded if you are already grounding it through the wall if you still feel the tingle with a grounded cord.
This sort of ground current drives me nuts (even though it's normally totally safe). I have on occasion intentionally grounded one of the plastic feet with foil when I am waiting for the electrician to fix an outlet or I am working in a location where I can't get a proper ground.
Well I have just experienced this tingle on my Macbook Pro with the magsafe 85w power supply and the 3 pin plug lead with a UK 3 pin plug.
I could not believe that Apple would not earth the machine via the magsafe adapter, so I detached the power lead from the 85w power supply block and took a look how they earth it. The power supply block has a 2 pin connection for live and neutral and the earth connects via the 10mm dia stainless steel stud that the plug lead [or the plug with no lead] slips over to lock it onto the block. Then I saw the problem! On the end of the 10mm stud, the manufacturer had put a 12mm disk of protective plastic [the peal-off film type that you often find on say a new phone screen]. So in their efforts to keep the stud looking shiny and polished, they insulated it from electrical connection, that is they insulated the EARTH STUD !! Just peal it off, plug it back together and [unsurprisingly] there is no more tingle from the alloy case.
Use the extension cable that comes with the magsafe as that has an earth connection to the 10mm stud which is not present on the non extended plug block
There is no protective plastic On the end of the 10mm stud with any of the 2013 models. So what you are saying, Paul Churchill, is incorrect. The problem with electrical current flowing through all the MacBooks can not be fixed. Only Apple can fix it, but they don't want to fix it.
Of course it is unhealthy & unnatural when an external electrical current flows through your body, no matter how small. It messes up your whole electrical system in your body. All nerve signals, all organ and all functions in general in your body function through the bodies own electrical current system.
I have noticed it too, and will return all my Apple products that conduct electrical current. So please watch out if you care about your health and don't want to get seriously sick in the long run.

WINTERSVILLE - A simple device that plugs into the dashboard can help parents - and employers, too, for that matter - make sure no one texts and drives.
The device, TextBuster, was developed by Access 2 Communication, a company located in the Jefferson County Industrial Park. It's based on an idea conceived by a doctor in Texas and "enhanced quite a bit" by Access 2 Communications, which shares the patent with him.
"We put a lot of thought into it," Access 2 Communications owner Brett Barta said. "We knew there'd be competition down the road, and we wanted to set ourselves apart from it."
Article Photos
Linda Harris
TEXTBUSTER — Access 2 Communication's Brett Barta's latest product, TextBuster, is designed to keep teens — or anyone else, for that matter — from texting while driving. -- Linda Harris
TextBuster comes in two models: one plugs directly into the vehicle's fuse panel; the other, a wireless connection, attaches directly to the car's diagnostic connector.
Once the unit is installed, the parent or employer - Barta calls them account managers - need only install the TextBuster software on a particular driver's cell phone.
Whenever that driver gets behind the wheel, TextBuster disables his or her text, e-mail and Internet functions, though they'll still be able to use their GPS, and make and receive phone calls.
Barta said TextBuster gives parents and employers the option of tracking that driver's driving habits - how fast they're driving, where they're driving and what time of day they're driving. The account manager can set parameters specifying that they want to be notified by text or e-mail if their child drives, say, 20 miles over the speed limit, or 20 miles beyond their supposed destination, or even if they're driving after a predetermined cutoff time.
"The nice part is, it's a two-part system," he said. "The device is installed in the vehicle, the application goes into the phone. When you download the application, you have the tracking option. So you can use the text blocking only, or you can text block and manage their use. It really is a complete package."
The system is password protected, and if anyone attempts to tamper with either the dashboard unit or the software, TextBuster immediately notifies the account manager.
TextBuster is currently available only for android phones, though Barta said they'll be launching versions for Windows and Blackberry in the near future. An iPhone compatible version is in development.
Barta said it took 29 people around the world about a year to develop the product, but it's manufactured entirely in Jefferson County.
"Even the parts are manufactured here," he said. "We didn't want to go outside the U.S. for parts or anything else. It's American made.
"We just finished packaging our first 10,000 (units)," he said. "We'll be ready in a week or two to start production on our next 15,000."
He said they'll be shipping to big box stores and auto parts retailers, and they're also working a deal to prewire the units into new cars worldwide. The units also can be purchased via the company's website, www.textbuster.com.
Barta said he's been a bit overwhelmed by the reaction to TextBuster.
"Every time I watched TV and saw a story on the news about texting and driving, I crawled out of my skin because I had an item in development that could prevent tragic accidents," he said, adding that after announcing it was in development, "I wasn't prepared for the people who came up to me who've been affected by a tragedy involving texting and driving. That's when it hit me."
The TextBuster is priced at $179, he said.

5 Beloved Famous People With Creepy Secret Obsessions
Celebrities believe in all sorts of crazy things, like The Secret or Xenu or yoga. But there's an invisible line they won't cross, because if they do, they know that public opinion would turn against them so thoroughly that it would utterly ruin their career. That line is the occult. You might spot Tom Cruise raving about energy spirits outside of Spago, but you'll never catch some beloved performer straight up worshiping the devil. Wait, what's that you say, paragraph immediately below this one?
#5. Sammy Davis Jr. Worshiped the Devil
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
The 1960s were a simpler time. Soda pop cost a nickel, young ladies wore poodle skirts, and the whole country was in love with a crooning, one-eyed, black Satanist.
Alan Light
Better than a flying purple people eater.
That's right: For many years, Sammy Davis Jr. was a member of the Church of Satan. As you might expect, Davis had to keep this whole matter fairly private or else the truth could ruin him. Alternatively, he could opt to straight up not give a shit and star in the world's first sitcom set in hell. Davis chose the latter path and took the lead role in a pilot called Poor Devil, also starring Adam "Batman" West and Christopher motherfuckin' Saruman Lee as Lucifer! That the show isn't still on today is undeniable proof that the Nielsen ratings system is rigged. Alas, Poor Devil was simply too perfect to live. But Sammy's ballsy choice in roles did pique the interest of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, who made the entertainer into a full-fledged card-carrying warlock.
To further taunt the fickle God of public opinion, Sammy Davis Jr. also released an album called Satan Swings, Baby! It featured ditties like "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Devil in Disguise," as well as a duet with LaVey himself, who hopefully sang in a beautiful, unwavering falsetto, because how awesome would that be?
Anyone who can hit the high note in "Lovin' You" can't be all bad.
Eventually the Candy Man lost interest in Satanism, like so many teenage goths. In his memoir Why Me? Davis vaguely alludes to some kind of break off from the church. There are no specifics, but we blame the devil's girlfriend for the breakup. She showed up to practice one day with a xylophone and totally Yoko'd the band.
#4. The Lincolns Summoned the Dead
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
According to the Boston Gazette, in 1863, Abraham Lincoln held a friggin' seance in the White House. Abe, Mary Todd, two cabinet secretaries, a reporter, and a trance medium named Charles E. Shockle sat down in the White House (basement?) to contact the spirit world. There is no report of whether or not Lincoln's mother interrupted them with pizza rolls.
"Moooooooooom, get out!"
Shockle channeled a cadre of dead folk for the Great Emancipator, from restless Native Americans to Henry Knox -- the secretary of war for George Washington. For his part, Abe didn't seem to take it very seriously. He pitched softball political questions at the dead and joked about their answers. So there was Mary Todd Lincoln (taking this all very seriously), one stunned reporter, two uncomfortable politicians, and the president of the United States lounging around, casually mocking ghosts. As for Shockle, he was so stressed out that he straight up fainted -- twice. Guess he was a bit nervous to be pulling parlor tricks for a furious super-powered giant with command over an entire nation. Go figure.
The seance was likely a PR stunt -- judging by both Lincoln's jovial approach and the fact that he invited a reporter -- because spiritualism and table readings were a popular pastime in the Western World. It was the era's equivalent of going bowling, or "having a beer with a soldier." But regardless of Abe's opinion, Mary Todd Lincoln was balls deep in the netherworld. The supernatural was a lifelong interest for her, but after Abraham's death, she went full bore. Mary began attending table readings and seances all over the nation, hoping to contact her dead husband. The media obviously used this unseemly obsession to smear her reputation, so Mrs. Lincoln began using pseudonyms. It wasn't enough: Mary Todd's only surviving son, Robert, briefly had her thrown in a sanatorium for wasting her money on this spiritualistic nonsense, among other things.

So wait, you can institutionalize somebody for wasting money on ghosts? Quick, somebody call the Syfy Channel and have them tell the Ghost Hunters to start packing.
#3. Joan Rivers: Ghostbuster
Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
In the early 1990s, comedian Joan Rivers lived in a New York City apartment that she claimed was haunted. She complained about strange noises, changes in temperature, and unexplained pornographic scribblings popping up everywhere. For some reason, she attributed this to "ghosts" instead of "New Yorkers being New Yorkers."
Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"Everyone is at a loss as to why the bodies of all these New Jerseyans and Red Sox fans keep showing up here."
Rivers, rather than checking her closet for squatting Knicks fans, consulted a parapsychologist, who then referred her to a Voodoo priestess named Sallie Ann Glassman. Glassman and Rivers met and began working on the haunted apartment. According to Glassman, the process of exorcising a demon with Voodoo involves a lot of sacred artifacts and stern commands. Translation: She waved some junk around and yelled at the ghost really loudly. The process seemed to be going so well, in fact, that Glassman and Rivers went on to cleanse the whole building. Following true sitcom logic, Rivers went back upstairs, leaving Glassman briefly alone, when a group of tenants walked into their own building to find a lone Voodoo priestess wearing a black robe and holding a sword while screaming at a ghost. This was presumably followed by Jimmie Walker shouting "Dyn-o-mite!" and John Ritter tripping over an ottoman.

1978 Chevy Camaro Race Car - Young Racers' ClubWritten on January 18, 2010 You Could Be A YRC Winner!
Between 16 & 23 Years Old and Like To Race? Then Join... Young Racers' Club Dedicated to Supporting Youth In Racing
Bucky Andrews, Tucson, AR It's YRC time! This month our winning young racer comes from Tucson, Arizona where the 22 year old races in two divisions at USA Raceway Park, the 3/8-mile dirt track in Tucson. Bucky Andrews started racing go-karts in Tucson in 1998 when he was 12 years old. In his first season he finished Second in the points standings. That big ol' racing bug bite led to five more years of racing go-karts. Then came Christmas 2005, that's when Bucky received every young racer's dream present, a real race car. The present courtesy of Dad was a 1978 Camaro that he would come to run in the Factory Stock division at USA. In his first season in the Camaro he finished Fifth in points and won Rookie of the Year.
Bucky raced the factory stock for two more years before taking a different turn in 2009. This past season he bought a Late Model race car and raced in the track's Crate Late Model Division. "My dad and I worked day and night getting the car ready," explains Andrews. "We put a 602 Chevrolet crate motor in the car. Driving a Late Model compared to a Factory Stock was harder than I imagined, but after four races, my biggest thrill came when I won my first Late Model race on July 11, 2009." Bucky would capitalize on that win and finish Second in points in the Crate Late Model Division. While racing the Late Model, Bucky continued to race his Factory Stock, racking up six wins on the season.
In 2010, Bucky plans on moving up to the SWDRA touring division for Late Models. To help get ready for that challenge, we've got a $250 gift certificate from Day Motorsports. Congrats Bucky!
Our Sponsors You Could Be A YRC Winner, Too! Just fill out the entry form below. Membership is FREE! There is no cost to join the Young Racers' Club. The club is open to racers between the ages of 16 and 23.

I was reading the wikipedia article on Macedonia naming dispute. As a reasonable human being, I can't believe that just by debating how a territory should be called, these people hindered economic and trade relations, potentially reducing the living standard for their populations (20 million people). Still Greece is blocking Macedonia's EU accession. Why is it so important to name something so that millions of people have to suffer the negative consequences? It kind of reminds me of kindergarten when we were arguing about what we should call our superheros. But at the international level? What can't they just simply come up with a new name?
As a reasonable human being, you should also probably be fully aware that:
Please have a look at Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs document discussing the issue in diplomatic terms for their officially stated reasoning.
Well that's hard. People are attached to their name, the name of their family, the name of their tribe, name of their city, name of their country. "come up with a new name" means they should change their name based on what someone else wants. Lots of people don't like this, and think that they alone should be allowed to choose their name.

Trojan Track and Field Competes at 49er ClassicMarch 21, 2014
Baxter Claims 10th in Womens Heptathlon
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Anderson University men's and women's track and field teams competed on day two of the 49er Classic, hosted by Charlotte at the Irwin Belk Track & Field facility on Friday.
After wrapping up the heptathlon's four events on the first day in 13th place, junior Jill Baxter finished the event in 10th, after competing in the long jump, javelin throw and the 800 meter run. She tied for 14th in the long jump with a distance of 4.29 meters and captured fourth in the javelin throw with a toss of 30.21 meters. Baxter closed by claiming ninth in the 800 meter run in a time of 2:39.46.
Junior Savanna Keese placed 24th in the hammer throw with a distance of 40.15 meters, while classmate Brooklyn Watt finished 27th after a toss of 39.55 meters.
Freshman Eric Hoover earned 41st in the men's javelin throw with a distance of 36.17 meters.
The three-day event concludes on Saturday, with the field events beginning at 10 a.m. and the running events slated to start at 11 a.m.

Let $M\subset \mathbb C^2$ be a hypersurface defined by $F(z,w)=0$. Then for some point $p\in M$, I've $$\text{ rank of }\left( \begin{array}{ccc} 0 &\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} &\frac{\partial F}{\partial w} \\ \frac{\partial F}{\partial z} &\frac{\partial^2 F}{\partial ^ 2z} &\frac{\partial^2 F}{\partial z\partial w} \\ \frac{\partial F}{\partial w} &\frac{\partial^2 F}{\partial w\partial z} & \frac{\partial^2 F}{\partial w^2} \\ \end{array} \right)_{\text{ at p}}=2.$$
What does it mean geometrically? Can anyone give a geometric picture near $p$?
Any comment, suggestion, please.
Edit: Actually I was reading about Levi flat points and Pseudo-convex domains. I want to understand the relation between these two concepts. A point p for which the rank of the above matrix is 2 is called Levi flat. If the surface is everywhere Levi flat then it is locally equivalent to $(0,1)\times \mathbb{C}^n$, so I have many examples....but what will happen for others for example take the three sphere in $\mathbb{C}^2$ given by $F(z,w)=|z|^2+|w|^2−1=0$. This doesn't satisfy the rank 2 condition. Can I have precisely these two situations?

My development staff is in the process of automating our end of month process. There is a small manual step that needs to be executed.
We have been thinking about the PCI ramifications for making this accessible over the net. Looking at the PCI standards, notably 1.1 blocking public access to cardholder environment from the public internet.
I read that this wouldn't be considered publicly accessible if I have client certificates in place. This would place this more into the realm of VPN access and the associated rules.
Does this sound correct? Are there any additional gotchas I should look out for?
Perfect. Many thanks. I do have a firewall / HIP / NDS / etc all in place. The way I'm thinking the certificate authentication ( in conjunction with normal password auth) would be being used in lieu of a full fledged VPN tunnel. The certificate authentication would occur at the firewall, before anything dangerous can get into the internal network.

I believe minimum length is 18".
What's the minimum barrel length for a shotgun in FL?
Where is it measured from?
I believe minimum length is 18".
18" is federal law, as unpecador notes. Include chamber in measurement. If cutting, use 18.5" as minimum, lest you end up like Randy Weaver.
Overall length can't be under 26".

As we close in on the milepost of 40 days to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, major players Union Rags, Hansen, Creative Cause and the rest all face major final preps over the next three weeks.
The top contenders – Union Rags, Hansen, Creative Cause and most of the field from what appears to have been a very strong running of last fall's Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs – will participate in major prep races over the next three weeks.
Unless those horses have serious missteps in their final preps, their place on the road to the 138th Kentucky Derby figures to change little. But the run of preps on the near horizon, which includes races like this weekend's Spiral at Turfway Park, the Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Arkansas Derby and Toyota Blue Grass, will provide opportunities for horses currently looming just under the radar to make their cases for a spot in among the 20 slots in the Churchill Downs starting gate for the Derby.
The Dark Horses
Here's a look at some horses that could emerge as the much sought after "dark horses" for the 2012 Run for the Roses in the prep races looming just around the corner.
On Fire Baby – This filly trained by Shively native Gary Hartlage was mentioned last week as a potential candidate to become just the fourth female in 138 years to beat the boys on the biggest day in American racing. Her next race will either be a run against fillies in the Fantasy at Oaklawn Park, a race that could make her the favorite for the Kentucky Oaks, or a bid to beat males in the Arkansas Derby. She was third earlier in the year in her only career run against the boys, but her most recent win over fillies in the Honeybee was a dazzler and Hartlage is giving the Arkansas Derby, a key prep for the Kentucky Derby in recent years, strong consideration.
Went the Day Well – He's coming off his first career victory in a race at Florida's Gulfstream Park, but will run in the Spiral in a quality check for owner Team Valor. That's the group that successfully used a Spiral victory by Animal Kingdom last year as a springboard to success in the Kentucky Derby.
Najjaar – He was so far back in the early going of last week's Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park that he reminded one of Mine That Bird's early run in a different time zone before he rallied to win the 2009 Kentucky Derby.
A Sneaky Borel
Not surprisingly, ultra-patient Calvin Borel was aboard Najjaar, who rallied in the stretch to finish sixth and carved his deficit from an early 21 lengths to lose by just under five lengths. It was a sneaky good run by Najjaar, who should appreciate more distance in the Arkansas Derby and could some help from a hot pace on the front end. He's Calvin's sleeper for 2012.
Street Life – His next race will be a make or break affair for his Derby chances and that will likely occur in Aqueduct's Wood Memorial. If he runs a big one in the Wood, a lot of Derby fans will love this son of 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense. He is a real stretch runner – a style that attracts fans on any day, but especially on Derby Day – and his out-of-the-clouds style and his pedigree will make him a fashionable longshot if he can amass enough graded stakes earnings to get him into the field. At this moment, he does not have a penny in those earnings, so there is much work to be done.
Neck 'N Neck – He did not come close to threatening Union Rags in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park, but his fourth-place run was much better than it looked. He had troubles around the first turn and was wide a good bit of the way. He's a long shot to win with continued development.
Cigar Street – He got his career underway awfully late to be thinking about the Kentucky Derby, but was so spectacular in a dominant win in his second career start that his next outing will draw strong attention. He could get two starts in before Derby if he makes progress.
Stat – Trainer Todd Pletcher unleashed this one for an impressive win at a mile last weekend at Gulfstream Park. The son of Unbridled's Song ran faster in winning a one-mile allowance race than unbeaten stablemate and high-level Derby contender Gemologist did 24 hours earlier.
File those names away, and now we'll focus on the top of the crop. Here's the current Asher Derby 138 Top 10:
- Union Rags
- Creative Cause
- Hansen
- El Padrino
- Gemologist
- Bodemeister
- Alpha
- Dullahan
- Mark Valeski
- I'll Have Another

Suppose a person's wife goes to the hospital to give birth and the husband remained home with the rest of the children. They made up that the nurse will call and let the phone ring once if it is a boy and twice if it is a girl. Friday night the phone rings twice, so the husband decides that on Shabbos morning he is going to name his newborn daughter. Motzei Shabbos he calls his wife and tells her "I named her this morning Raizel after your Great Grandmother". She responds "What! It was a boy!". Does this child that was named in error maintain this name for life?

I'll have to look for sources, but let's consider: the naming is done as part of a Mi Shebeirach that mentions "the new mother ---, and her daughter who was born at an auspicious time, and her name is ---." So if it turns out that the baby was a boy after all, then presumably the whole thing would be a patent falsehood and therefore of no halachic consequence.
