OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN — Oak Glen's Lacee Porter was named the captain of the West Virginia Class AA?All-State volleyball team by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
"She is one of the hardest workers I have ever had. She strives to be the best hitter she can be. For someone her height, she can put the ball down with as great a force as the best of them."

Help! I am about to drive 10 hrs to Myrtle Beach for July 4th. I had previously had a reservation at the Sea Mist Hotel. Upon reading the reviews, and noticed many complaints about roaches, I quickly cancelled my reservation and searched for another place. I saw good reviews for the Compass Cove Hotel and I booked there. Today, I read reviews on Trip Adviser and while many were good, I saw numerous complaints about maid service and ROACHES. I am PETRIFIED of bugs to the point that I have an exterminator every 3 weeks including the cold PA winters. Has anyone been there and experienced this? Do people in Myrtle Beach not like cleaning or something? I'm so confused

Hi Guys,
I am originally from Lima, Peru and have been living in Cincinnati for almost 15 years. I am currently 24, and I speak Spanish and English (so moving to Miami wouldn't be a problem in that category). I currently have an associate's degree in Civil Engineering and will be graduating from UC next spring with a Bachelors of Science in Architecture. My goal is to move to Miami right after graduation but I'm a little concerned about finding a job in my career? I frequently visit Miami at least once a year every year and I absolutely love it! I love the culture, the food, the weather and the beach! How easy or how difficult would it be for me? What do you guys suggest that I do before I move down there? It would be me, my boyfriend and our two german shepherds moving down :)
Any suggestions for something to do near I25 between Pueblo and Denver? We have Sunday afternoon to about 3 pm on Monday and can stay the night anywhere along the way. Not really interested in going into Denver.
Flying into Denver for two nights before exploring other nearby areas. Looking for a two bedroom (not one bed, one pull out sofa) suite in a hotel downtown. We have such a room at the Staybridge Suites in Glendale, but I get the feeling we might like to stay downtown and closer to shopping/restaurants. Thanks in advance for any insight!
This is my first time setting up vacation what hotel is closest to all attraction
I will be visiting St. Joe, Michigan soon and I was wondering if there was any place I could go to rent a pontoon for the day.
We are planning on visiting OOB in a couple of weeks. There are 6 adults and one infant (6 months). We have my parents (67 and 64), my husband and I and also my 30 year old step-daughter and her husband. Is there anything to keep 30 year olds entertained or is it more of a seniors place to visit?
does anyone know which of these are better? I've seen reviews for both and they don't make the places look good.
We want something on the beach, if possible, and with a kitchenette so we can cook our nightly meals. Thanks in advance
camper\rv so I can take my(who lives in Crawford CO)to visit friend & family. I Live in Mt.Please help!!!!
The plan is to fly into Portland or Seattle and fly out of the other city.
We will rent a car and want to definitely see the highlights that are most reasonable given our time constraints.
I've heard the Oregon coast is amazing. Also heard about the hiking in the gorge!
As for Washington - I know the winery Chateau St Michelle is nearby - that may be more doable.
My boyfriend has never been to Seattle so I want him to see the market etc.
But I would also love to see some of the whales and not sure if trying to squeeze in any of the islands is worth it or reasonable.
We are foodies and hope to experience the each city for atleast a day a half plus some excursions.
Any suggestions you can offer about routes to take - things to see and do and or a reasonable itinerary for 7 days is awesome. We don't want to come home exhausted but we also aren't afraid to pack a lot into a day and want some unique experiences that we can't have in other states!
Thank you!
Are there charge for car parking within Yosemite after you have paid your entrance fee?
Are the attractions like Tunnel View and Sentinel Dome free of charge once you have paid your entrance fee to Yosemite Park?

What is the best ice cream shop in IC? I'm looking for creamy rich ice cream, perhaps with some creative flavor options.
how far are u from the Bohemian hotel? can you recommend great places near Bohemian hotel for breakfast and lunch?
thank you Marv Alpert
I've been reading some of the discussions on here about travelling around in Florida.
I'm going to be staying in Miami Beach, then heading up to St. Pete Beach. Is there any easy way that this can be done using public transport? I suspect from the discussions I've read so far, the answer is no, but I thought I'd have one last check!
If travelling by car is the best option, are there any particular hire companies that have been tried and tested by participants on these forums?
And finally, are there towns/cities on the way up that I should definitely stop in (not to stay necessarily, but just to see or take a day trip to during the week)? Naples, Venice and Sarasota have been recommended.
And in St. Pete.... any things that shouldn't be missed, based on your own experiences? This can include things to do, places to see or places to eat/drink!
Thanks in advance!
3 years ago my husband and I did the west rim grand canyon tour I brought some coffee mugs I would love to buy some more I have enquired before but didn't get a very favourable response the coffee cups I brought had the Haulapai tribe insignia on them

I've been thinking a lot about what kind of a winter it's going to be this year, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a l-o-n-g one.
It's going to be too dark too soon to suit me.
I'm going to be hot, courtesy of menopause.
I'm going to be cold, courtesy of menopause.
I'll want windows up one minute.
Doors opened, too.
Air conditioning on the next.
Then I'll need a blanket. Maybe some thermal socks.
Nope, time for shorts and a tank top.
And Better Half and I, rest assured, will keep having these ongoing thermostat "discussions."
One of them unfolded the other evening.
I was sitting in the love seat, the lamp next to me turned on, this because I was reading and prefer not to do that sort of thing in the dark.
This light in all its 60-watt semi-brilliance is maybe 2 feet from the living room thermostat.
Better Half gives me that look and feigns a shiver.
"It's getting cold in here," he announced as he looked my way, offering a little "brrr" for emphasis.
"You should turn that light off," he adds, his head motioning toward the thermostat above my head.
Then he expands upon the reason why - that the heat from this light bulb 2 feet away from the thermostat is a bad thing.
It keeps the furnace from kicking over, he says.
Hence the "brrr' noises.
I guess this is the same light bulb that could throw a heat so intense it could cook up one heck of a Thanksgiving feast in an Easy Bake Oven.
I dab the beads of sweat from my forehead as I digest his words and try to respect the reasoning.
I'm thinking maybe it's my body heat that's responsible for keeping the thermostat at a standstill, not my reading lamp.
Then I respond sweetly - as sweetly as a gal in the throes of the change of life can.
"No," I said, fanning myself with a hand. "I'm not reading in the dark. Besides, it's warm enough in here already."
Better Half frowns, shrugs his shoulders and reaches for a throw.
So one spouse's chill is another spouse's inferno in the framework that is winter.
"Maybe I should grow a winter coat like your horse," he suggests more to himself than me.
I'm thinking that's not such a bad idea.
I don't know whether the winter will be short or long, but I'm pretty sure our thermostat "discussions" are bound to be pretty "heated."

Boy Scout Leaders Vote to Allow Gay Youth
GRAPEVINE, Texas—The Boy Scouts of America decided to allow gay youth to openly join its ranks, reversing a long-standing ban.
The decision, which came after a vote Thursday of some 1,400 Scout leaders, had been seen as a litmus test for how much the nation has shifted its views on gay people and their role in society.
More than 61% of the leaders gathered for their annual meeting voted in support of a proposal floated last month by Scouts officials. That proposal, a compromise that angered some on both sides, opened Scouting's membership to gay youth but not gay adults in staff or volunteer leadership roles.
"While people have different opinions about this policy, we can all agree that kids are better off when they are in Scouting," the organization said in a statement. The ban lifts on Jan. 1, 2014.
At meetings that began Wednesday at Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, participants said leaders engaged in spirited debate. The positions leaders shared were often split along geographic lines, participants said, with leaders from the Northeast supporting an end to the ban and those from the South arguing to keep it in place.
On Thursday afternoon, in a ballroom carpeted with images of horseshoes and cattle, National President Wayne M. Perry opened an envelope with the results of the blind vote, reading aloud the decision to thousands of Scouts leaders and volunteers. That was followed by applause.
The vote by a group that claims to embody the very definition of American masculinity and honor became a lightning rod for debate about the nature and pace of change on gay rights.
In one sign, the Mormon church, the largest sponsor of Scouting troops and a past opponent of causes such as gay marriage, said in a statement it supported the decision and "moves forward in its association" with the Scouts. The General Commission on United Methodist Men, the second-largest Scouting sponsor, said it will continue to support the organization.
The issue still divides the 103-year-old organization, which had 2.7 million youth members and 1 million adult members as of Dec. 31.
John Stemberger, an Orlando lawyer who founded the group OnMyHonor.Net to oppose ending the ban, said at a press conference that the decision was "a travesty." He said the Scouts didn't consider risks to children and lawsuits that he thinks will ensue. His group and others that supported the ban on gays plan to meet next month to discuss the creation of a new youth group.
"This is the last time I wear this uniform," Mr. Stemberger said.
Sam Ray, a 53-year-old engineer and assistant scout master, said he planned to have a family talk to reconsider participation in Scouting. "We will not be able to do it anymore when they transform it into an advocacy group for something we don't believe in," said Mr. Ray, who lives in a Fort Worth, Texas, suburb.
Frank Page, President of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, didn't threaten to leave the Scouts, but said in a statement that the vote "ushers in a sea-change in the credibility" of the organization for believers "in the principles of biblical morality."
Gay-rights leaders applauded the move but described it as a partial step because it didn't include gay adults. "Today we found out that the Boy Scouts of America are the Boy Scouts for all America," said Zach Wahls, founder of the group Scouts for Equality. "But we still have a ways to go."
James Dale, a gay Scout leader whose lawsuit against the organization was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2000, said the Scouts "continued to embrace discrimination" by continuing to exclude gay adults.
The Scouts have been under pressure from swaths of its membership and some corporate sponsors to end the ban. Its executive council in February briefly considered letting troops develop their own gay-member policies, but decided to open the decision to longer public deliberation and a vote at the Annual meeting.
Corrections & Amplifications
A caption in an earlier version of this story incorrectly said the photo depicted supporters of a proposal to end the youth ban. However, the photo depicted anti-gay activists.

I apologize for this, and I am sure it's a very rookie question... but I am still trying to grasp java and how everything works (I'm surprised I made it this far.)
I have a TextView inside of a ScrollView and I am trying to get it to focus on the bottom entry each time a new entry is added.
I have this in the code:
getScrollView().post (new Runnable() {
public void run() {
that is inside the
public void onClick(View src) {
case R.id.buttonOk:
(So that when I click ok, it will focus to the bottom.)
now.. I am getting this error: The method getScrollView() is undefined for the type
do i need to call out the name of the scroll view within that first set of code, android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
Again, I am sorry I am so confused on this. I am obviously not getting something right here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP)-- Officials say a vial containing a virus that can cause hemorrhagic fever has gone missing from a research facility in Galveston, but say there's no reason to believe there's a threat to the public.
The University of Texas Medical Branch said Saturday that there was no breach in the security its Galveston National Laboratory and no indication of wrongdoing. Officials suspect the missing vial containing the Guanarito virus was destroyed during the lab's cleaning process but the investigation continues.
The medical branch says the virus, native to Venezuela, is transmitted only through contact with Venezuelan rats. It is not believed to be able to survive in U.S. rodents or to be transmitted person-to-person.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was immediately notified after the vial was discovered missing Wednesday.

Heart Attacks and Heart Disease
In this article
How Are Future Heart Attacks Prevented? continued...
Why Do I Need to Take Drugs After a Heart Attack?
Drugs are prescribed after a heart attack to:
- Prevent future blood clots
- Lessen the work of your heart and improve your heart's performance and recovery
- Prevent plaques by lowering cholesterol
Other drugs may be prescribed if needed. These include medications to treat irregular heartbeats, lower blood pressure, control angina, and treat heart failure.
It is important to know the names of your medications, what they are used for, and how often and at what times you need to take them. Your doctor or nurse should review your medications with you. Keep a list of your medications and bring them to each of your doctor visits. If you have questions about them, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
What Lifestyle Changes Are Needed After a Heart Attack?
There is no cure for coronary artery disease. In order to prevent the progression of heart disease and another heart attack, you must follow your doctor's advice and make necessary lifestyle changes -- quitting smoking, lowering your blood cholesterol, controlling your diabetes and high blood pressure, following an exercise plan, maintaining an ideal body weight, and controlling stress.
When Will I See My Doctor Again After I Leave the Hospital?
Make a doctor's appointment for four to six weeks after you leave the hospital following a heart attack. Your doctor will want to check the progress of your recovery. Your doctor may ask you to undergo diagnostic tests such as an exercise stress test at regular intervals. These tests can help your doctor diagnose the presence or progression of blockages in your coronary arteries and plan treatment.
Call your doctor sooner if you have symptoms such as chest pain that becomes more frequent, increases in intensity, lasts longer, or spreads to other areas; shortness of breath, especially at rest; dizziness, or irregular heartbeats.

I am playing as PSV eindhoven and season 2 has just ended. became champions 2 times and played the europa league final in the first year (lost against atletico madrid).
My point is, where in previous versions i should have to spend a lot of cash to improve my squad, this version i can do it with free players. i have not edited the league or club reputation, but big players will still come to psv.
In 2 years, i signed on a free:
Mamadou diarra (real madrid)
Boussoufa (anderlecht)
schaars (az)
durval (30 years old brazilian player)
joris mathijsen (HSV)
juan manuel iturbe (quilmes)
EDIT: an uruguayan MC with a difficult name and 15 caps
most of these players (not iturbe, hot prospect and schaars backup) are first team regulars.
i was also able to sign inter's coutinho for 7 mil. i don't believe players like coutinho and diarra would even consider a move to PSV in real life. so why does this happen in the game?

Ohio's school districts spend about a third more on their bureaucracies than the national average.
As a percentage of the budget, Ohio schools spend more on bureaucracy than 47 other states, as reported in The Book of States 2012. Statewide, Ohio's schools spend a total of 13.2 percent of their budgets on administration, compared to the national average of 10.8 percent.
That may not seem like much of a difference, but the 13.2 percent represents some $2.56 billion in expenditures on regional and local school administrators out of $19.4 billion spent on K-12 education expenses.
A recent study done by Ohio Education Matters identified $248 million in potential savings just in central administration, if all 609 school districts brought their spending in line with the state's more cost-effective districts.
In addition, there are more than 300 public charter schools in the Buckeye State school mix, as well.
The same study found a total of $1.4 billion in savings, if those efficiencies were produced in all expenditure categories.
Ohio Education Matters is in the process of completing a report now on the best practices of the state's most cost-effective districts.
Andrew Benson of Ohio Education Matters indicated that, "The state kind of assumed that budget pressures would lead districts to change the way they're doing business. What I've seen is districts making cuts in the same way they always have."
According to Benson, schools threaten to cut popular programs rather than examining how their non-instructional services are provided.
In some cases, that may mean outsourcing and, in others, sharing services at a regional level, Benson said.
The way that works, he said, is "when you've got to cut, you say, 'We're going to have to cut some of our low-enrollment courses, such as advanced placement and foreign language.
We might have to cut back on the music program and the sports, and we might have to have pay-to-play.
And they try to do things so that there'll be lots of constituents who say, 'Wait a minute, we've got to pass a levy.'"
Instead of threatening to lay off teachers or charge for athletics, Ohio school districts could find more than $1 billion in savings in services such as maintenance, janitorial work, transportation, food service, payroll, business services, purchasing, energy, provision of extracurricular activities and professional development, Benson said.
Benson points to Beyond Boundaries, a report published by the Governor's Office in Ohio that has clear recommendations about partnering with regional educational service centers and local governments for administrative/non-instructional areas so schools can better focus on educating kids," he wrote. "We're all for it."
There are two big reasons school districts resist these changes, Benson said. The first is local control - nobody wants to call a big bureaucracy to fix a small local problem. The other is a popular notion about "good jobs."
"If you don't have enough money for both, something's got to give. You've got to stay with your core purpose. So that does press clerical staff, press maintenance staff, the folks who take care of the lawn. There may be a better way to do that. And it's not just outsourcing. It could be outsourcing, but it's a variety of different things."
A few districts have begun to share services and programs in order to reduce non-instructional costs, but the movement so far has amounted to an arithmetic response to what amounts to an exponential problem.
Consolidating services to reduce non-instructional costs can be accomplished without consolidating school districts or giving up sports teams.
On the contrary, districts can become more viable and student instruction can be improved.
Nothing in law or policy says they can't.
The only question is why they won't.

I read most of the call to action articles out there..however most of them rely on the fact the user can read and understand what the call to action does. I am designing an app for kids (age 2-3) to teach them the alphabet and I was wondering how to create a call to action for them to start the game since they perhaps wont understand the word. I assume it will be colorful but anything else we need to do?
Why do you need to "start" the game? Can't it start "by itself" whe it loads? Like Dora Explorers game "Say it in two ways"? This game learns the kid English and Spanish at the same time, spelling the word in two languages and speaking them. I've not tried it on my own kids, but I'm sure they'd get around it pretty fast.
Important with the screenshot below is the call-to-action button to the left. They seem interesting and "I want to know more" even if I don't understand them instantly. Exploring is a big part of a kids learning.
The game is situated on Nick Jr games for 2-3 years old. Try all 35 of them and see if you get any idea from there.
National Swedeish Television (SVT) also have a kids web site which aims strictly at kids. I can't navigate the ** thing, but my kids could when they we're 2-3 of age. And if you dont know Swedish - see if you can understand a different language and what to do where. I belive some ideas can come from SVT childrens site Bolibompa!
Good question!
I think I'd really try to make it look like something they'd press in real life, far more than I would a button for adults. Perhaps also add an image of a hand/finger pointing at it, or a voice that prompts them.
You could even do something like having an animated character 'hand' them something (when they tap it advances them), or ask them to do a high-five with the character (which advances them).
Either way I think lots of testing is in order once you come up with some good options :)
I'm not sure why you would need a tutorial for a game designed for a 2-3 year old. If anything, the game should teach the game mechanics while they are playing the game.
If you're talking about just a simple way for the child to advance to the next level, Ben Durnell's suggestion of a "high five" with a clap sound effect sounds pretty interesting.
I'm not sure what type of tasks your game will ask, but if the child needs to drag an object next to the letter it starts with for example, I would have an animated hand gesturing to "tap" on an object and "drag" it to the corresponding letter (perhaps in a ghost effect or arrows pointing to a silhouette of the object).
The idea is to show how to play the game while still playing the game.
But I would test this as much as possible even if you only have 2-3 levels built.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. OfficeMax announced that total sales were $1.65 billion in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 0.3% from the second quarter of 2009. For the second quarter of 2010, OfficeMax reported a net income available to shareholders of $11.8 million, or 14 cents per diluted share. For the second quarter of 2009, the company reported a loss of $17.7 million, or 23 cents.
Sam Duncan, chairman and CEO of OfficeMax, said, "We are pleased with our strong performance for the second quarter and first half of 2010. Importantly, we continue to operate with a significant amount of discipline across all areas of our business, which has helped us drive margin expansion. Overall, we believe that our results are indicative of the progress we are making on our profitability initiatives.
OfficeMax Retail segment sales decreased 0.5% to $772.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared with the second quarter of 2009, reflecting a same-store sales decrease of 0.3% and fewer stores. Retail same-store sales for the second quarter of 2010 declined primarily due to a continued weak market environment, partially offset by stronger sales in Mexico compared to weak sales in the second quarter of 2009 during the influenza epidemic, according to the company.
OfficeMax Contract segment sales decreased 0.1% compared with the prior year period to $880.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 (a decrease of 4.1% in local currency). This decline reflected a U.S. Contract operations sales decline of 3.6%, which was mostly offset by an International Contract operations sales increase of 8.7% in U.S. dollars (a sales decrease of 5.2% in local currencies), the company reported.
Duncan added, "Based on our performance in the first half of 2010, we are confident in our ability to continue executing on our five-year plan as we transform into an office effectiveness and efficiency solutions company. Our disciplined cash flow management provides us with the strong financial foundation to invest in and grow the business. While the economy appears to be recovering more slowly than we had previously expected, we are well positioned to achieve our 2010 and long-term financial objectives."
Based on these assumptions, OfficeMax said it anticipates that for the third quarter, total company sales will be slightly lower than the prior year's third quarter, including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, and adjusted operating income margin rate will be lower than the prior year's third quarter. For the full year 2010, OfficeMax anticipates that total company sales will be flat to slightly lower than 2009, including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, and adjusted operating income margin rate will be higher than 2009, but the margin improvement will be significantly less than the 140 basis point year-over-year margin improvement in the first half of 2010.

No One Has Been Finer Than Carolina
Hot starts can be fool's gold in baseball. The Atlanta Braves have cooled off since winning 13 of their first 15. Heading into Thursday night's game against the Colorado Rockies, the Braves (15-6) were just a game better than the Red Sox, Rangers and Rockies for the best record in baseball.
But what is the real "best record in baseball" so far this year? Down in the Florida State League, the Fort Myers Miracle, a Minnesota Twins affiliate has won 15 of their first 19, while Tampa Bay's low-A club in the Midwest League, the Bowling Green Hot Rods, are setting the pace at 14-5.
Still, all those teams look rather ordinary compared with their baseball cousins in college, where the talent is often more concentrated, but even the best teams lay the occasional egg. Yet at 40-3, the top-ranked University of North Carolina Tar Heels have gotten off to a start that is threatening the NCAA Division I record for winning percentage, the .914 clip, set by Arizona State in 1972.
The Tar Heels' season has included two streaks of at least 14 wins and a sweep of 15th-ranked Virginia Tech. Their lineup includes five players with an on-base percentage of at least .456. Amazingly, second-ranked Louisiana State University is just behind the Tar Heels with a record of 38-4. Down in Division II, Delta State in Mississippi is 37-5-1 while Mount Olive College in North Carolina is 43-4. As for Division III, the brainiacs at Johns Hopkins have figured out the algorithm for winning 30 of their first 35.

How to get involved in an Instagram community
Instagram is one of the most visual social networks around, and over the last few months we've noticed an insane growth in the iPhoneography community in South Africa, specifically Cape Town. For those of you who are nodding while reading that first sentence; hello hipsters. And for those of you who are a little bit lost; let's get you back on track.
iPhoneography (iPhone photography) is an endearment term used to describe mobile photography using an iPhone. With the launch of the iPhone, and the myriad of photo editing apps (and no, we don't mean filters) came the launch of a new niche community in South Africa: the iPhoneography SA community. The community consisted of iPhoneographers (iPhone photographers) who created beautiful photos of their environments and published it online. Naturally, Instagram fuelled the growth of this community in the form of the Instagramers communities. Okay, we're nearly there – don't lose us. The Instagramers communities have been defined as igers (short for Instagramers) and they exist in every corner of the world. In Cape Town, the official community is called igerscapetown and here's why you should connect with them on Instagram.
You love taking photos; your Instagram feed is a collection of beautiful squares that can easily be placed on the walls of an art gallery; you're the person at the picnic who whips out their phone in the most random occasions, trying to get a macro shot of the water droplet on a leaf. But you have no one who shares your passion for mobile photography, and your friends don't really get that you can take such amazing shots with... just your phone. If this sounds like you, meet the Instagamers Cape Town community.
The community in Cape Town, led by Ross Pickford, meet up at least once a month in beautiful locations in and around the city and participate in what we like to call, an instawalk. Ross organises the details of the meet-up such as the venue, date and time and all of this information is posted on Instagram prior to the walk. Currently the group is quite small, with a few core individuals who keep the group active, but new Instagramers are welcomed to the community all the time. So, if you enjoy meeting new people and of course, taking photos, then you should definitely get involved in the next walk. And even though the community started with the iPhoneographers, it has sort of expanded to include mobile photographers who use Android devices as well.
As part of our #lovecapetown campaign, we'll be hosting a group of International bloggers to explore Cape Town and document their journey through their social networks. Part of this experience includes an Instawalk at sunset. Follow @igerscapetown and @roscoedude on Instagram to get information on the next meet. And don't forget to tag your photos of Cape Town with #lovecapetown for a chance to be featured on our Instagram feed and blog.

Is there a classification of finite commutative rings available? If not, what are the best structure theorem that are known at present? All I know is a result that every finite commutative ring is a direct product of local commutative rings (this is correct, right?) in some paper which computes the size of the general linear group over that ring.
Yes, a finite ring $R$ is a finite direct sum of local finite rings. As a first step, for each prime $p$ there is a subring $R_p$ of $R$ corresponding to the elements annihilated by the powers of $p$. $\require{enclose} \enclose{horizontalstrike}{R_p\ \style{font-family:inherit;}{\text{is then an}}\hspace{-7mm}}$ $\enclose{horizontalstrike}{\style{font-family:inherit;}{\text{algebra over}}\ \mathbb{Z}/p.}$ $R_p$ then resembles an algebra over $\mathbb{Z}/p$ and it could be one, but it can also have a more complicated structure as an abelian $p$-group (see below). This step generalizes to maximal ideals: For each maximal ideal $m$, $R_m$ is the subring of elements annihilated by $m^n$ for some $n$, and $R$ is the direct sum of these subrings, which are local rings.
It is not difficult to write down a rough partial classification of of local finite rings. If $R$ is local with maximal ideal $m$, it
After that, the non-zero monomials may be linearly dependent (and never mind that $R$ might be more complicated than its associated graded). Informally, there will be an endless stream of partial results and there will never be a complete classification when the length of the local ring is 3 or more. To see this, suppose that $m^4 = 0$, and suppose that $m^3$ is only one dimension shy of $S^3(V)$. Then the ring is defined by an arbitrary symmetric trilinear form in $V$. These make a "wild" sequence of algebraic varieties, in the same sense that people say that the representation theories of certain rings are wild. For instance, I think (not quite sure) that it is NP-hard to determine when two such trilinear forms are equivalent. NP-hardness is not by itself rigorously equivalent to no classification, but informally the classification is an intractable mess.
If the nonvanishing monomials in $R$ are linearly independent, then it is a toric local ring. Toric local rings are certainly a tractable class of finite rings.
The situation is similar to non-commutative $p$-groups, which are also wild and will never be classified. In both cases, certain classes have a nice structure. It is also interesting to make estimates for how many there are.
Note: Corrected per comment.
This is a very interesting question related to the Hilbert scheme $Hilb^n(\mathbb A^d)$ classifying $n$ points in affine space $\mathbb A^d$. I don't think there is a classification but there is an estimate for the number of commutative rings of order $\leq N$. It is
$$exp[\frac{2}{27} \frac{log(N)^3}{(log 2)^2} \; +O(log(N)^{\frac {8}{3}})] \quad for N\to \infty $$
The proof of this result due to Bjorn Poonen and of many related interesting theorems is in his article
You will also find astonishing conjectures in the article like:
The fraction of local rings of order $\leq N$ among all commutative rings $A$ of order $\leq N$ tends to 1. Same limit 1 for the fraction of rings "of characteristic 8" in the sense that $8 . 1_A =0$ but $4 .1 _A \neq 0$.
The characterization of Artinian rings is relevant of course. See also the book "Finite commutative rings and their applications" and this web page.
As always one should check out the OEIS for questions of this type. In this case see http://oeis.org/A027623
Assuming that by finite you mean "the underlying set is finite", then the very first thought that comes to mind is that the underlying additive group of your ring has to be finite. I would hope that you are then able to look up or work out what one might be able to say about finite abelian groups, and presumably that might speed you on your way.
Maybe I've misunderstood your terminology?

We now know the name of the young woman whose body was found in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Bowling Green Thursday.
Late Thursday afternoon, Bowling Green Police were told of a woman's body being found in a car in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart on Morgantown Road.
Warren County Coroner Kevin Kirby says the name of the 33-year-old victim is Sabrina Forshee.
Officer Ronnie Ward says Bowling Green police found a note in the car with Forshee that appears to indicate she died of an intentional drug overdose.
Kirby says an autopsy was performed on Forshee's body Friday, and they are awaiting results of the toxicology test.
WBKO normally does not cover suicides, but because the victim's body was found in a public place and has not yet been confirmed to be a suicide, we felt the story was newsworthy.

Suppose $\mathcal{D}$ is a triangulated category and that we are given a $t$-structure $(\mathcal{D}^{\leq 0},\mathcal{D}^{\geq 0})$ on $\mathcal{D}$. The heart of the $t$-structure, $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{D}^{\leq 0} \cap \mathcal{D}^{\geq 0}$, is an abelian category. Is it true in general that $\mathcal{D}=D(\mathcal{A})$ is the derived category of the heart of the given $t$-structure on $\mathcal{D}$? If not, is there an easy example that shows why not?
Some examples from topology:
1) If D is the homotopy category Sp of spectra, then D has a canonical t-structure where the truncations correspond to Postnikov towers, so that the heart is the category Ab of abelian groups. The resulting functor D(Ab) --> Sp is the "generalized Eilenberg-Maclane" functor, usually denoted H. It is not fully faithful, since maps Z/p --> Z/p[n] are zero for n>1 in D(Ab) but there are plenty of maps HZ/p --> HZ/p[n] in Sp corresponding to Steenrod operations. It is also not essentially surjective: the cones of such nontrivial maps Z/p --> Z/p[n] cannot be in the image of H, since otherwise they'd have to be isomorphic to Z/p[1] \oplus Z/p[n].
2) For a Q-linear example, let X be a simply connected space, and let D be "local systems of complexes of Q-vector spaces on X up to quasi-isomoprhism" (you can realize this as a full subcategory of the derived category of sheaves of Q-vector spaces on X if you like). Then truncation on fibers defines a t-structure on D with heart the category of local systems of abelian groups on X, which, in view of our hypotheses, is just Q-vector spaces. But the functor F: D(Q-vect) --> D is again neither fully faithful nor essentially surjective -- e.g. maps F(Q) --> F(Q)[n] biject with the n^{th} rational cohomology of X.
There are a couple of ways to make 2) less topological:
a) Combinatorially: you can replace X by a small category (even a poset) which realizes X, e.g. make a category C out of the some triangulation of S^2, then take D to be the full subcategory of the derived category of C-diagrams of Q-vector spaces consisting of objects where each map in C gets sent to a quasi-isomoprhism of complexes of vector spaces.
b) Algebraically: you can realize local systems on $X$ as modules over chains on the based loop space $\Omega X$, and choose $X$ so that $C_\ast(\Omega X)$ has a very simple model as a DGA. For instance if $X = CP^\infty$ then $C_\ast(\Omega X) = C_\ast(S^1) = Q[e]/e^2, |e|=1$; so an algebraic example is given by the derived category of $Q[e]/e^2$ - modules, or more generally modules over (almost?) any nontrivial rational DGA in homologically non-negative degrees with just $Q$ in degree zero,
The most serious problem is that in general there is no natural functor from $D(A)$ to $D$. To construct one you need an additional structure on $D$. There are several approaches here. One was suggested by Beilinson and gives a notion of a filtered triangulated category. Another important approach uses derivators.
On the other hand, if you have enough structure to construct a functor, then the criterion for it to be an equivalence is rather simple. If I remember right, the necessary and sufficient condition is that each morphism $A \to A'[n]$ in $D$ (with both $A$ and $A'$ in the heart) should be decomposable into a sequence $A \to A_1[1] \to A_2[2] \to \dots \to A_{n-1}[n-1] \to A'[n]$ with all $A_i$ being objects in the heart (in other words, the graded algebra of $Ext$'s should be 1-generated).

First exciting details on Hitman for PS4 and Xbox One revealed, no more "magic pockets"Written by: / / 10 Comments
IO Interactive has today taken the time out to address the studio's biggest Hitman fans with an open letter discussing what the team has planned for the next "AAA Hitman game for PC and next-gen consoles."
– Hitman: Absolution
Something Old
Out the gate, the letter assures fans that this new project has the team's "total focus" but they're excited to let us all know a few small details to whet our collective appetites:
"In the next game you will experience a globetrotting Agent 47 at the prime of his career – the apex predator stalking his prey across the world, with the support of his long-term handler Diana Burnwood and the whole of the ICA," the letter begins, which must immediately make long-time Hitman fans happy to hear about a return to the series' roots.
In the next Hitman game, you'll once again be faced with overwhelming odds while travelling to "expansive" and "exotic" locales around the world, while development continues on the team's Glacier 2 engine.
Something New
If you were a fan of Hitman: Absolution, you'll be pleased to know that IO isn't throwing everything from that game away and is taking care to use "the best parts" of what they learned during that game's development while drawing inspiration from Hitman: Contracts and Blood Money in order to best "fulfil the core Hitman fantasy."
"That means we're packing in an extreme level of detail on the largest levels we have ever built for a Hitman game," write IO. "We've adopted an open, non-linear level design approach to the game, ensuring the game will play out across huge, checkpoint-free, sandbox levels. Our aim is to create living, breathing and believable levels which will allow gamers to play around with the AI to create those unique moments every fan of the Hitman franchise loves."
Something Borrowed
Absolution fans will also be happy to hear that the favourite user generation mission feature, the Contracts Mode, will be back in the next Hitman game while "experimenting with the large levels and possibilities within them." Hitman purists, on the other hand, will take heart from the following sentence:
"You will also be glad to hear that we have removed 47's magic pockets. We believe that's all we need to say about that subject."
Something Blue
IO Interactive promises that more will be revealed as 2014 barrels along, saying that there are "so many things we have planned and we are extremely excited for the future of Hitman."
Are you as excited about the future of the Hitman series as IO Interactive is? What would you like to see in the next game on new generation consoles?

I have a flex viewer 3.0 map in wgs 84 (4326) (ESRI basemap) with a wms which is 4326 as well. for some reason the wms doesn't overlay correctly. it is way off. appears on the maps but it is flattened quite a bit.
I would try again with Spherical Mercator, I haven't used the ESRI base maps but in web mapping EPSG 3785 is the de-facto standard and likely the source of the problem.

Titanfall server support for Australia available starting tomorrowWritten by: / / 7 Comments
For anyone in Australasia looking forward to playing Titanfall starting tomorrow without significant online lag, the EA, Respawn and Microsoft collective has come to the rescue with the provision of full server support in your region.
Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella recently announced the news, tweeting:
Aussie servers coming online, starting Friday morning and building capacity each day! Combined EA/MS/Respawn effort to make it happen!
— Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) March 13, 2014
Zampella took a moment to recognise those responsible for bringing the servers online on launch week for both Australia and New Zealand writing:
Friday Aussie time for the servers. Remember to thank @jonshiring @Xbox and @EA for hustling to make it happen!
— Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) March 13, 2014
Unfortunately there are still no announcements regarding server support for South Africa following news of Titanfall's delay (and temporary outright cancellation) in the country last week.
Who in South Africa will be trying out Titanfall on PC or Xbox One this week anyway, despite a lack of official server support? Have you tried it already?

I was reading this chiebukuro, I think the gist of it is that movie theaters would give a preview of what they had coming to the screen, and a big 乞うご期待 would be written on the trailer. I guess this is like the Coming Soon in the U.S.
I can't translate it to English, but perhaps something along the lines of "for your anticipation."

TYLER (January 24, 2013)--A jury decided on a 20-year prison sentence Thursday for retired East Texas dentist Bobby Ray Nichols, whom jurors convicted earlier of murder in the death of his wife.
Prosecutors were seeking a life sentence for Nichols in the shooting death last summer of Rosalind Nichols, 71, his wife of 26 years, but the jury in Tyler found that Nichols acted out of "sudden passion" when he shot her last June at the couple's home.
Nichols will become eligible for parole after 10 years in prison.
In his closing, defense attorney argued that Nichols was abused by his wife and that he killed her in a fit of passion, but prosecutor Richard Vance argued that any sentence less than life would suggest a tacit endorsement of Nichols' actions.
Nichols took the stand in his own defense and testified that he was "in a stupor" and didn't intend to shoot his wife during an argument last summer, but said he only intended to scare her.]
He said he remembered nothing from that night until the gunshot startled him.

5 Awesome Vehicles for the Extremely Wealthy (And Insane)
#2. The Bullet 580 Airship
Ah, the zeppelin. The vehicle of the supervillain. We've seen at least one Bond villain tooling around in one...
Christopher Walken, no less.
... as well as the villain in Pixar's Up ...
... and The Rocketeer. Damn, how did zeppelins get such a bad reputation?
Ah, right.
This brings us to the Bullet 580. It's a 23-story-high airship and, while you might think that in real life it'd be hard to get much supervillaining done in a vehicle that can be brought down by a bird with a particularly sharp beak, that's just because you don't know the details.
The Bullet 580 is made of a new type of Kevlar, which is 10 times stronger than steel when it comes to impact resistance. You can shoot a cannonball at the thing and it wouldn't leave a dent. But that's just the beginning.
The designer of the airship states that, "The craft can fulfill ... battlefield surveillance, missile defense warning, electronic countermeasures, weapons platforms," plus it can carry up to 2,000 pounds of equipment (or 12 armed henchmen). More than enough time to scare the shit out of your enemies and possibly conquer a small country.
Or one of the weaker states.
Also, it's shaped like an actual bullet.
So what we have here, basically, is a giant bullet speeding through the air at 80 mph, covered in an oversized bulletproof vest -- the perfect headquarters for a bullet-themed Batman villain.
"Behold my new invention! A bullet-shooting lasergun!"
The makers claim it's made for tasks like homeland security and disaster relief -- but they're also renting them out to anybody with enough cash who likes to spend that cash on crazy things (it's $300,000 a month, but we'd like to see them try to catch you to collect the second month).
#1. Full-Sized Luxury Submarines
Imagine you could live in the middle of the sea. No, we're not talking about a floating house -- that would be silly. We're talking about a giant underwater mansion that is capable of crossing the Atlantic, the Phoenix 1000.
This is actually a submarine, but it's considerably bigger than most of its kind: 213 feet long, with a total interior living area of 5,000 square feet. That's like twice the size of the average American house.
Plus they have twice as many books.
The Phoenix has four decks, including ample saloons and observation spots, but what takes it into paranoid supervillain territory is its freakish endurance. It can sink 2,000 feet below the water and has an oxygen supply to last for up to 40 days. You can literally survive another Great Flood in this thing.
And if you get bored being inside all day or you need to go dump some bodies where no one could ever possibly find them, you can go for a ride in the smaller submarine that's attached to this thing. And by smaller submarine we mean a regular freakin' submarine.
The only downside to the Phoenix 1000 is that if the builders (U.S. Submarines) have built one, they aren't letting anyone take pictures of it. Whether it's because the only buyers so far are the types who value their privacy (say, flamboyant arms dealers with an eye on world domination via flooding the world's major cities) or because nobody has forked over the $78 million price tag is anybody's guess. All we know is that if we bought one of these things, you can bet we'd freakin' let you know about it.

How can I add headers to getForm.Submit() calls?
I have come up with an issue that certain headers are not being sent when I call getForm.submit(). For example, the "X-Requested-With" header is not being sent, which is causing Asp.Net to not detect the form submission request as an Ajax request, which I need it to do for various reasons (e.g. send errors via Json and not error 500 Html pages).
I tried adding "headers: { 'X-Requested-With' : 'XMLHttpRequest' }," to my submit() call, but this did not work. I then tried to modify the default headers with "Ext.Ajax.defaultHeaders = { 'My-Test': 'Test worked' };". When I did this, all my requests are correctly sending the 'My-Test' header except for form submissions.
Does anyone know how I can correctly add the X-Requested-With header to form submission calls?
21 Jan 2011 7:54 AM #2
So is this not possible? Is this a bug or a design decision?
21 Jan 2011 8:13 PM #3
MMM, Why don't you just do an ajax request then?
var frmVals = this.getForm().getValues(); Ext.Ajax.request({ params: frmVals, url: this.url, ... });Wes

You can't upload files with an Ext.Ajax request.
You have to use a form submit, which doesn't support setting headers.
24 Feb 2011 1:48 PM #6
But, the form object docs say that it does support headers.
doAction( String/Object actionName, [COLOR=#444444! important][Object options] ) : BasicForm
Performs a predefined action (Ext.form.Action.Submit or Ext.form.Action.Load) or a custom extension of Ext.form.Action to perform application-specific processing.Parameters:
- actionName : String/ObjectThe name of the predefined action type, or instance of Ext.form.Action to perform.
- options : Object(optional) The options to pass to the Ext.form.Action. All of the config options listed below are supported by both the submit and load actions unless otherwise noted (custom actions could also accept other config options):
- url : StringThe url for the action (defaults to the form's url.)
- method : StringThe form method to use (defaults to the form's method, or POST if not defined)
- params : String/ObjectThe params to pass (defaults to the form's baseParams, or none if not defined)
Parameters are encoded as standard HTTP parameters using Ext.urlEncode.
- headers : ObjectRequest headers to set for the action (defaults to the form's default headers)
If we are using JSON, how are we supposed to set the Content-type header to be applicatoin/json, when the form is submitted? If we can't do this, then we can't use the form's submit action.

The missing piece of information here is that the 'headers' option is only valid when not doing a file upload.
30 Apr 2012 2:17 PM #8
'The missing piece of information here is that the 'headers' option is only valid when not doing a file upload' its still a missing bit of information! perhaps you should add it. I have just spent an hour trying to do this so that asp.net web.api will return json in response to a file upload.
20 Aug 2013 1:52 AM #9
This is pretty essential to allow setting headers for file uploads
Without headers in the file upload anything to do with header based authentication (api calls etc.) that require a file upload is just not possible...
17 Oct 2013 12:36 AM #10
The issue described below seems solved for us.
The Spring Security Doc says, that you can't set CSRF-Token as a request param for Ajax requests, so we did it in the HTTP header. But in case of normal form submits it works. (submits with file upload fields are normal form submits (no Ajax), as Condor said.)
we also need to set additional HTTP Headers (X-CSRF-TOKEN) for an file upload to work with our Spring Security configuration.
Does anyone have a workaround or knows an approach how to fix it?
Thank you very much!

Let $A = \begin{pmatrix} 3&1 \\ 0&1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0\\ 1&2 \end{pmatrix}$. I want to show that the only elements of the semigroup generated by $A$ and $B$ that have integer eigenvalues are elements of the form $A^n$ and $B^n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$. I have tried every way that I can think of. Is it possible that a problem like this is undecidable?
The general problem of this type is undecidable. More precisely, there is no algorithm that takes as input two $n \times n$ integer matrices and decides whether the semigroup they generate contains a matrix all of whose eigenvalues are integers.
Proof: Given two $n \times n$ integer matrices $A$ and $B$, choose a prime $p \ge 5$ such that $p>n$, choose a degree $p$ monic integral polynomial $f(x)$ with the full symmetric group $S_p$ as Galois group, let $C$ be a $p \times p$ integer matrix with characteristic polynomial $f(x)$, and consider the tensor products (Kronecker products) $A \otimes C$ and $B \otimes C$. An element of the semigroup generated by these two $np \times np$ matrices has the form $M \otimes C^m$ for some $M$ in the semigroup generated by $A$ and $B$ and some $m \ge 1$. Each eigenvalue of $M$ is of degree at most $n$ over $\mathbf{Q}$, but each eigenvalue of $C^m$ is of degree exactly $p$, so the eigenvalues of $M \otimes C^m$ are all integers if and only if the all eigenvalues of $M$ are $0$, which holds if and only if $M$ is nilpotent. Thus the semigroup generated by $A \otimes C$ and $B \otimes C$ contains a matrix all of whose eigenvalues are integers if and only if the semigroup generated by $A$ and $B$ contains the zero matrix. But the latter property is undecidable: see Chapter 3 of this survey article. Thus one cannot have an algorithm that would answer the integer eigenvalue question for $A \otimes C$ and $B \otimes C$ in general.
I just found this problem. If you try the matrix $A^nB^m$, then your question for such matrices is equivalent to this number theory question: Can $9^n+2\cdot 9^n\cdot 2^m-12\cdot 3^n\cdot 2^m+2\cdot 3^n+4^{m}\cdot 9^n+4^{m}+2\cdot 2^m+9$ be a square provided $m,n\ne 0$. Note that if we denote $3^n$ by $x$, $2^m$ by $y$, we get a quartic polynomial in $x,y$. I hope number theorists here can say something about this exponential Diophantine equation.
The answer to problem with question mark is "obviously NO". To be undecidable, you should have a mass problem. For given $A,B$, you have the following problem: given a product $W(A,B)$ is it true that the matrix has an integer eigenvalue. That problem is obviously decidable. The question of whether this is true for every word $W$ requires answer "yes" or "no" and is not a mass problem. You can still ask whether it is independent from ZF or even ZFC (or unprovable in the Peano arithmetic). What Bjorn had in mind is a completely different and much harder problem when you include $A, B$ in the input and ask if for this $A$, $B$ some product $W(A,B)$ not of the form $A^n, B^m$ has an integer eigenvalue. This is a mass problem which could be undecidable (although he, of course, did not prove it). But this has nothing to do with the original question.

Let $A$ be a countable structure with uncountable many automorphisms. Then for every $\vec{a}\in A^{<\omega}$, $(A,\vec{a})$ has a non-trivial automorphism, i.e. there exists some $f:A\rightarrow A$ such that $f\neq id$ and $f(a)=a$, for all $a\in \vec{a}$.

In Nevi'im and Ketuvim, why is the order of the books that we use today different from the order given in Bava Batra 14b, and Rambam Hilchot Sefer Torah 7:15?
Sign up

The gemara has its reasons why it ordered the Tanach that way, and it is discussed there (Bava Basra 14b-15a). However, the custom has become to order it differently in our Tanachs for matters of convenience and chronology.
Neviim Rishonim are ordered chronologically even according to the gemara, as part of their purpose is to record historical fact. Yehoshua, Shoftim, Shmuel, Melachim.
Neviim Acharonim we order chronologically as well, but we do not separate Trei Asar, for fear that small independent nevuos will become lost, and so we place it at the end so as to end with Malachi, the last navi. Yeshayahu, Yirmiyahu, Yechezkel, Trei Asar.
Kesuvim we sort by subject and then chronologically. For convenience, we like to have the "Sifrei Emeth" (א'יוב, 'מ'שלי, 'ת'הלים') together, as well as the five megillos together. First we have the sifrei emeth in chronological order by author: Tehillim, Mishlei, Iyov. [Note that some Tanachs have the order: Tehillim, Iyov, Mishlei. It depends on when you believe Iyov was written. Also, Chazal believe Avraham to be the author of Psalm 89, so that may be why we put Tehillim first.]
Afterwards, we put the five megillos, but instead of ordering them chronologically by author, we order them (again, for convenience's sake,) chronologically by when during the year it is customary to read them publicly (starting with Passover): Shir Hashirim, Ruth, Eicha, Koheles, Esther.
Finally, we have the remaining books of Kesuvim, which we leave in the order that the gemara indicated: Daniel, Ezra/Nechemia, Divrei Hayamim.
(Sources: Abarbanel's introduction to Yeshayahu and an essay on the order and authors of Kesuvim printed in the beginning of Mikraos Gedolos Orim Gedolim Tehillim vol. 1)
The Radak's introduction to Yirmiya explains that the g'mara gives its reasons (the end of M'lachim is churban (destruction), so it matches Yirmiya, and the end of Y'chezkel is nechama (consolation), so it matches Y'sha'ya, yielding the order M'lachim, Yirmiya, Y'chezkel, Y'sha'ya), but the common order, M'lachim, Y'sha'ya, Yirmiya, Y'chezkel, is chronological.

If one wakes up in the middle of the night to relieve oneself, what is the proper procedure regarding washing and the brachos of asher yatzar and hamapil?
Sign up

The answer I was always told (need to look this up; I think it's Mishnah Brurah?) is:
A.) If you'd already fallen asleep, there's no problem of talking-after-HaMapil as you already slept some. B.) If it's just urination, no bracha is needed as it will be covered by the Asher Yatzar you say in the morning. Just go back to sleep. (Well, washing for hygiene purposes is always a good idea ...)
C.) If it's defecation, that requires its own asher yatzar, which in-turn requires washing "negel vasser" (right-left-right-left-right-left). So first do a hygienic washing with soap, (I believe it's preferable to then dry your hands), then do a ritual washing (no bracha), followed by asher yatzar.
UPDATE: From TorahMusings.com:
Sweet dreams!
You should also remember to wash hands after using the restroom before saying Asher Yatzar.
