PANAMA CITY — On a dramatic final night in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying the United States scored two goals in stoppage time for a 3-2 win at Panama, keeping Mexico from being eliminated.
Luis Tejada's 84th-minute goal put Panama ahead 2-1 and had the team in position to finish fourth in the group, which would have knocked Mexico out of the World Cup following El Tri's 2-1 defeat at Costa Rica on Tuesday.
But Graham Zusi equalized for the Americans in the second minute of stoppage time before Aron Johansson scored the winning goal one minute later for the U.S., which finishes on top of the group with 22 points from 10 games.
Mexico ends up in fourth place after a dismal qualifying campaign and will face New Zealand in a two-legged playoff next month to determine which side will advance to the World Cup.
United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann chose to rest a number of key starters with his team having already locked up the top spot in the group, and the Americans were second best in the opening half as Gabriel Torres scored on a first-time shot to put the hosts in front.
The U.S. managed to create only a few chances but Michael Orozco made the most of one in the 64th minute when he redirected a corner kick from Brad Davis past goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.
Tejada came off the bench in the 78th and scored the go-ahead goal six minutes later, looking like a hero in Panama.
If that score held up Mexico would be out, but Zusi became one of the most popular men in Mexico on Tuesday when he headed home a Davis cross in stoppage time to level the score, saving Mexico's blushes.
Johansson scored from the edge of the penalty area with a well-placed shot one minute later just to pour more salt into the wound of stunned Panama side.
Costa Rica ends up in second place after beating Mexico as Alvaro Saborio scored the winning goal in the 64th minute, while Honduras will be headed to Brazil as well next summer after a 2-2 draw with Jamaica, which scored the equalizer in the 60th minute from Rodolph Austin's penalty kick.

I recently came across the claim that 80-90% of people who convert to Christianity will eventually revert to their former beliefs/way of life. While I can't speak to the world at large, my experience is that this number is closer to 40%. I was wondering if there were some actual numbers one could look up to confirm this. I was also wondering if there were a way to somehow subtract the number of people marrying into the faith (as that accounts for a number of baptisms/confirmations too).

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
Short answer:
It would appear that the answer to your question that is reliable, and applicable across the board, is a resounding "no". Within denominational or individual Church/affiliation boundaries, there are plenty, but the numbers vary
Explanation of the short answer:
I've found several sources that give "fall away rates" with varying degrees of source citations. From http://www.frontlinemin.org/decisionism.asp
(and I'm not sure if these numbers are trustworthy - a number of them are vague and dont' give the Church, Crusade, denomination, at all. They could easily be fabricated.)
But another source gives different statistics, way off from the ones above.
(and still, I wonder where they get their numbers.)
From http://biblicalinsights.net/Book%20Reviews/Falling%20Away.pdf
As for the anecdotal evidence supplied from the teaching you linked to in your question, Mr. Comfort gives the source for that particular statistic as a copy of American Horizons Magazine, the official magazine of the Church in question. (Coincidentally, the last one in my first bulleted list...)
From http://internet-churches.com/true-false.htm
But as for an official, scientific study, or a survey that follows real methods, I find no evidence. It would appear that the numbers are based on anecdotal evidence, or as Mr. Comfort states. "Church records" - records shared from Pastors at Churches. Even in the Hell's Best Kept Secret teaching, he states that the number is based on Church records that he has had access to. He never claims that this is a universally applicable statistic.
This is, at least, feasible. I know that in our Church, we keep records of those who have prayed the sinner's prayer, and we have records of who is still in attendance, and who has left, and for what reason. (Church discipline, asked to be removed from membership, etc.) I'm sure if I talked to my Pastor, I could come up with a calculation for our own Church's "fall away rate".
But is that indicative of the fall-away rate for Christianity as a whole? no.
And given the fractured nature of Christianity, and even the difficulty in defining what "falling away" really means, I'd say it's not feasible to get such results. How would you define "falling away"? No longer attending Church? What about those that don't attend a Church at all, but are active in prayer, evangelism, and just don't want to go to a local Church? If not based on active Church membership, then what?

Let $k$ be a commutative ring with unit and $L$ be a Lie $k$-algebra.
Let $U(L)$ be the universal enveloping $k$-algebra of $L$ (one can define it as a quotient of the tensor algebra, as it is explained in this MO question, or one can say that $U(-)$ is left adjoint to the forgetful functor sending an associative $k$-algebra to the Lie $k$-algebra obtained by taking the same underlying $k$-module and with Lie bracket being the commutator).
The associative $k$-algebra $U(L)$ is filtered as a $k$-algebra, and there is a canonical epimorphism $S(L)\to gr\big(U(L)\big)$.
If this epimorphism is an isomorphism, then we say that $L$ has the PBW property.
All the examples of Lie $k$-algebras not satisfying the PBW property I am aware of are constructed in the following way: one first finds an example of a Lie algebra for which the map $L\to U(L)$ (the unit of the adjunction) is not injective, and then it is quite clear that the PBW property can't hold.
My question is then:
Is there any example of a Lie $k$-algebra $L$ such that the map $L\to U(L)$ is injective which does not satisfy the PBW property ?
Or is it that the PBW property is just equivalent to $L\to U(L)$ being injective (it would be great, but I have no idea why this would be true - EDIT: one might want to use that $L\to U(L)$ is injective to reduce to the cas when $k\supset\mathbb{Q}$)?

Why when someone is sick do we say his mothers name not his father's?

The Zohar (Bereishis 84a, citing Psalms 86:16, "והושיעה לבן אמתך") says that it's better to pray using the most definite facts available. There can be a slight chance that the sick person isn't really the son of the man who is assumed to be his father (even though, for halachic purposes, we ignore this possibility and follow the majority - Chullin 11b), but his mother's identity is (almost) never in doubt.
I've also seen an answer that the mother is more associated with the body and the father with the soul. (The Zohar, Bereishis 79a, says this about Sarah and Avraham respectively; Ben Yehoyada to Berachos 55b says that this is generally true of all couples.) Thus, when we pray for a sick person's physical recovery, we invoke the mother's name; by contrast, when we pray for a deceased person's soul, we use the name of their father. (Though I believe there are variant customs on that last point too.)
Invoking the name of the mother is better for inducing mercy from above. Will bl"n get the source for you later.
The Ben Yehoyda(Brachos 55b Anna) answers the person needs merits, and since men have a harder time because the have Bittul Torah and other sins more specific to men, their Zchus is better. The Birchei Yosef(Orach Chaim 284) uses this to answer why when somone has a father Yahrtzeit and the other has a mother the father has precedence he says basicly the same the father needs it more!!!
I heard in the name of Rav Heineman that the reason is because of סכנתא חמירא מאיסורא, and since we always have a ספק who the father is, it is better to use the mother's name to identify the person because by the mother there is no ספק. Even though this רוב of רוב בעילות אחר הבעל works very well in regards to איסור והיתר.
--but it could be that Rav Heineman was joking?
A source for using the name of the mother is the gemara Shabbos 66b:

Talkin' Bout a Revolution
Here's Tracy Chapman performing at the 1988 London concert celebrating Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. Mandela would be released from prison 2 years later. It strikes me as a great song both for remembering Mandela and for the season of Advent, when we anticipate that God will cast down the mighty from their thrones, and lift up the lowly. And that revolution sounds like a whisper...

She sings,
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
That reminded me of these words from "Homage to Marat," in the Peter Weiss play "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade:"
Marat, we're poor, and the poor stay poor
Marat, don't make us wait anymore
We want our rights, and we don't care how
We want a Revolution NOW
Thanks for this clip. A fine performance by a wonderful singer and song-writer. I miss her in today's popular music - of course this was "long ago" now. I would hate to think the her sensibilities have been lost in this generation.
Mark L
Wonderful, thank-you. It brings to mind this old revolutionary song:
"The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name....
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, but has lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty."
Luke 1: 49, 52-53
Thanks Lisa for a great song.
That "and finally the tables are starting to turn" is a great inspiration for all those working for justice and peace, and great Advent theme.
God bless
I was at Wembley for the Mandela 70th Birthday concert and remember vividly that exquisite voice rambling around ecohing off the roof of the cavernous stadium. When Stevie Wonder couldn't perform because of a technical problem, Tracy Chapman was recruited on the spot - who had already performed earlier - to fill-in the time instead, and that performance rocketed her career to the top. Although, Peter Gabriel's "Biko" stole the show.
I have often fantazied this Tracy Chapman anthem, Cat Steven's "Peace Train" and Pete Townsend's "Give Blood" being used in a political campaign that would really be about:
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

I have been wondering this for a while because I can put away a gallon of water in a reasonable amount of time if I just sip it for a while. The weird thing is that I had gastric bypass surgery so I can't fit all that in my stomach at the same time. So my question's kind of a three-parter:
- How does your body absorb water?
- Where does it absorb water?
- How long before the water leaves your stomach?
Feel free to disregard the gastric bypass surgery if it makes the third question easier to answer.

WACO (October 1, 2012)--Jury selection was underway Monday in the trial of Jacob Scott Turner, 27, of Waco, who is charged with manslaughter in connection with a deadly traffic accident.
Turner is charged in the death of Peggy Jean Cantrell, 64, who died on July 21, 2011 after Turner's 2006 Ford Explorer struck her 2002 Dodge Neon as she attempted to turn left onto New Road from Bosque Boulevard in Waco.
The collision was so violent that the gas tank of Cantrell's car ruptured and caught fire.
The car and the SUV came to rest about 30 feet from the point of impact.
A bystander used a fire extinguisher to put out the fuel tank fire.
An investigation shows that Turner was traveling at a speed more than twice the legal limit of 35 miles per hour when his Explorer struck Cantrell's vehicle.
Turner turned himself in on Aug. 5, 2011, after Waco municipal Judge Chris Taylor issued an arrest warrant.
He was later released after posting $75,000 bond.
Turner was also charged with a parole violation, but that is not at issue in this trial.

How good is swimming for burning fat? There seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions on the matter (not backed up with fact). A few places seem to say its the best exercise because its a whole body workout and some others say its not great because the water keeps your body cool.

It doesn't matter if your body gets cooled down during swimming. What matters is the number of Calories you burn during any exercise. Fat loss happens when you expend more Calories than you take in. Simple as that.
Swimming is actually a very good Calorie burner. According to NutriStrategy, swimming at a leisurely pace for one hour can burn 354 to 558 Calories depending on your weight.
Swimming is not an ideal fat burning exercise. It burns fewer calories than running or cycling (http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist3.htm) and although the resistance of the water does break-down and build muscle the effect is not nearly intense enough to induce "afterburn". Plus, swimming makes me incredibly hungry!
That said, swimming is a terrific exercise because it provides both aerobics and low-grade upper-body resistance training with minimal joint impact. Plus it's great for thinking because you can't read, watch television, listen to music, or talk to someone while doing it.
As for swimming in cool water, I personally find that it burns more calories simply because it allows me to keep swimming for longer. I find swimming in warm water uninspiring at best and nauseating/headache-inducing at worst.
For extremely obese persons who start with completely untrained bodies, swimming and, in particular, aquafitness are preferable over many other activities such as, say, jogging. I read so in a book about aquafitness by Mimi Rodriguez-Adami (2003, first edition)
According to this book, obese persons should:

Keeping your body warm uses up quite a lot of calories because your body has to burn something to generate heat, and water drains heat quickly because it's a good heat conductor. Swimming (the movement) by itself is not very energy demanding, but doing it in cool water is.

A day at the V&A Waterfront – Flickr pic of the day
This image of one of Cape Town's major attractions, the beautiful V&A Waterfront, was captured by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group member Robin Denton.
Says Robin: "We had a superb holiday in South Africa and while staying at Noordhoek for the second week, we visited Cape Town a few times. We loved the country and the city.
Cape Town was very lively and the people were all friendly and helpful We really enjoyed the food and, of course, the wine. The V&A Waterfront was buzzing and a great place to visit."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

I bought a custom plate for my Nikon D800 to use with my Ultimate M1 but I would be really interested in a 'L' bracket version, I don't know if this is a viable option. I do have a Kirk 'L' bracket but obviously I've got to line it up every time I use it (if and when I take the U3 off). So, a self-aligning one would be great to keep on and use with my ball head.
This is obviously more aimed at Nick.

I recently got several downvotes on an answer I provided (the link is for 10k users). I think the answer was spot on and I'd like to get some feedback/discuss why. What's wrong with my answer?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs

A downvote is a signal. You can choose to ignore or complain, but normally that won't help anybody.
If you get a downvote, I reread my contribution. Sometimes, I did make a mistake and I correct it. Sometimes the question is changed and the answer is not suitable anymore. In that case you can either edit or delete (if it is hopeless).
But remember, a downvote does not mean "we don't like you", it does mean "we don't like your post." Unfortunately this also goes for upvotes.
DaveBall's comment is spot on:
Your answer is also pretty short for a complex topic and generally useless. You don't provide anything to help the user get started doing what you suggest.
I'm also not entirely sure it actually answers the question. You don't address whether brute force algorithms can scale or how to scale them.
"Go do this" is rarely an answer, and certainly not for a complex topic. If you can provide a solution to the problem, great, but it should be explained; if a "solution" wouldn't make sense per se, like in this case, then you still need to explain what's involved. You want to help the user understand so that they don't come back tomorrow and post a similar question, having learned nothing.
It's not an answer to the current question, therefore it should be a comment. When your answer DOES NOT solve a certain question, don't post it as an answer; post it as a comment!

SWANSEA – Police arrested a 32-year-old town man on several child rape charges Friday night at his home, Swansea Detective Patrick Mooney reported.
Christopher Rochon of 15 Wheatfield Ave. was being held on $5,000 cash bail at the Bristol County House of Correction's Ash Street Jail pending his arraignment Monday in District Court, Fall River, Mooney said.
Rochon is charged with rape of a child with force, indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years old and indecent assault and battery on a child over 14 years old.
Police did not supply any further details about the alleged incidents. "Due to the nature of the charges, no further information will be released," Mooney wrote in a Saturday morning press statement.
The statement said Rochon was being held in jail after being unable to post bail.
Mooney and Sgt. Joseph Martin, who are members of the Swansea Police Department Abuse Unit, investigated, assisted by Sgt. Marc Haslam and Patrolman Kyle Stone.
The Children's Advocacy Center of Bristol County assisted with the victim, Mooney said.

If anyone is interested just reply to me and I'll be glad to share. R.
Hey PrimalRobin, I'm glad you like the site and the recipe. Please share yours with us!
Hi Toby,
Here is the recipe for the grapenuts type cereal:
combine all ingredients:
3 cups graham or whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup honey or brown rice syrup
2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. soda
pinch salt
( I add - 1/3 cup ground flax seed, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, or any other whole grain you want to eat (buy them whole and grind them in the food processor), and a bit more buttermilk)
Beat until smooth. (it should be like thick pancake batter)
Spread dough on 2 large greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes.
Crumble by one of these methods:
1. While still warm, break into chunks and grate on slaw cutter or whirl briefly in blender or food processor, about a cupful at a time.
2. Allow to cool thoroughly, then put through food grinder, coarse plate.
(at this point I have added chopped fruit)
Then sprinkle crumbled cereal on cookie sheet and crisp in oven at 250 degrees for 20-30 min
Store in airtight container.
Eat with milk or sprinkle over yogurt.
I know it sounds long with the 2 cooking times but it makes a lot and you can customize this recipe by adding other whole grains or nuts or even fruit. My kids love to help me make this, they like the crumbling part.
FYI, this recipe comes from an old Mennonite cook book and their goal for publishing it was to get rid of over consumption of sugar and world hunger. It is a very interesting book. I'm not Mennonite but kudos to them.
Hope you enjoy it.
I have a very simple recipe for a homemade energy bar in my Sports Nutrition Guidebook (2008). This is one of more than 70 "sports recipes" for hungry athletes who have minimal cooking skills and want quick, easy and family-friendly recipes made with readily available ingredients.
This prizewinning recipe offers a yummy alternative to commercial energy bars. They are perfect for when you are hiking or biking, as well as for a satisfying afternoon snack. They are relatively high in fatbut its healthful fat from peanuts and sunflower seeds.
For variety, you can make this recipe with cashews and cashew butter, and/or add a variety of dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, and dates).
1/2 cup salted dry-roasted peanuts
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seed kernels or use more peanuts or other nuts
1/2 cup raisins or other dried fruit
2 cups uncooked oatmeal, old-fashioned or instant
2 cups toasted rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1/2 cup peanut butter, crunchy or creamy
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
Optional: 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, oatmeal, and toasted rice cereal (and wheat germ). Set aside.
2. In a medium microwaveable bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add vanilla and stir until blended.
3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until coated.
4. For squares, spoon the mixture into an 8 x 8 pan coated with cooking spray; for bars spoon it into a 9 x 13 pan. Press down firmly. (It helps to coat your fingers with margarine, oil, or cooking spray.)
5. Let stand for about an hour, then cut into squares or bars.
Yield: 16 squares or bars

By using the following lemmas:
A countable union of countable sets is countable.
Cartesian products of integers are countable.
Wouldn't it be possible to prove the countability of the reals between 0 and 1, by partitioning them into countable sets each one uniquely identified by a Cartesian pair (m, n)?
Each set (m, n) contains all reals that have their first m digits sum equal to n and all their other digits zero.
By the second lemma above there is a countable such (m,n) that cover the interval [1,0]. And each such set is also countable since it contains a finite amount of numbers. Therefore by using the first lemma above wouldn't that prove that the the reals between 1 and 0 are countable?
Appreciate any feedback on the above on where I went wrong; I suspect it might be in how I used the second lemma to encode the above sets and show there is countable number of such sets.
many thanks,

I am pretty sure any pattern will work as well, although I do normally use generic routing for everything but the root route.
Any additional parameters are shoved into 'rest' as a string, so I used
I ultimately ended up not caring about more complex URLs on the client side, so I definitely have not verified the extra parameters work with history. The code doesn't get in the way of history for me, but I could certainly imagine some other quirk in the code base that did when extra parameters were introduced... although that would be
If you care, I now just send the extra parameters to the server on first application hit (potentially even the deep link hit) and they stay active for the entire session. Not as nice as just turning a flag on/off, better sub-page control, or a deep-linked sort adjustment, but I don't need the extra right now.
1 May 2011 3:49 PM #12
Thanks @parseroo for the response.
Actually, I combined both your's and @gcallaghan's input into a very workable solution that handles parameter passing, deep linking, and history support in a very acceptable manner. I tend to agree more with @gcallaghan when it comes to the URL structure using a true URL pathing scheme for the parameters b/c in my opinion it is much more intuitive to the user (or client) to look at and work with. I also agree with him when it comes to using Ext.override when it comes to altering the core functionality as it keeps your original source code intact and lets you upgrade without having to search through all the code and rewrite it again in a new version.
With that said, your override is still needed to fix the oversight (bug) in the router functionality so that the parameters following the action don't get shaved off. I had to add "\\-" to account for dashes in the productId, but your code made that trival.
So, here's what I ended up with for my overrides that included your code:
Ext.override(Ext.util.Route, { createMatcherRegex: function (url) { var paramsInMatchString = this.paramsInMatchString, length = paramsInMatchString.length, i, cond, matcher; for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { cond = this.conditions[paramsInMatchString[i]]; if (i == length - 1) { matcher = Ext.util.Format.format("({0})", cond || "[%a-zA-Z0-9\\_\\s,\\&\\=\\-]+"); } else { matcher = Ext.util.Format.format("({0})", cond || "[%a-zA-Z0-9\\_\\s,]+"); } url = url.replace(new RegExp(paramsInMatchString[i]), matcher); } return new RegExp("^" + url + "$"); } });
My routes.js file looks like this:
Ext.Router.draw(function (map) { // HomeController map.connect("home/index", { controller: 'HomeController', action: 'index' }); // ProductsController map.connect("products/list/:method/:category/:term", { controller: 'ProductController', action: 'list' }); map.connect("products/show/:productId", { controller: 'ProductController', action: 'show' }); });
Here's the dispatch code for the Product List action:
Ext.dispatch({ controller: 'ProductController', action: 'list', historyUrl: 'products/list/' + method + '/' + category + '/' + term, parentView: 'Index', method: method, category: category, term: term });

What is this?
great to all,
I don't read all of the article but i wrote my controller like this:
} ,
and called it like this:
it works perfectly.

The 16 Most Hilariously Dishonest Old School Advertisements
Modern advertising constantly straddles the line between creative marketing and straight-up bullshit. But back in the old days, advertising companies got away with winning their bread and butter through straight poker-faced lies.
#16. Almost All Women are Poisonous
Via Bootycallu.com
From the Questionable Statistics Department comes this ad depicting an assembly line of identical blondes who have to cross their legs at the ankles to keep their nether regions from exploding like angry beehives. The ad's vision of "procurable women" looks more like a store shelf of Barbie dolls, or the inside of a serial killer's eyelids when asked to picture "procurable women."
The real question is what they were even trying to accomplish here. Did they want to eradicate sex altogether? Were the Nazis trying to infiltrate the U.S. Navy with an army of gonorrhea-infected Stepford clones? Or was this a very specific piece of propaganda aimed at the three young sailors who would go on to star in the "Pep Boys" logo?
Our money's on Option 3.
#15. Samaria Cures the Drink Curse
Via Kitchen Retro
The real miracle here is not just that the husband was cured of alcoholism, but that he was cured without his knowledge. Apparently, it was months before he noticed that he was no longer hanging out with his drinking buddies at the bar after work, drinking to dull the pain, and that he'd stopped throwing up bloody chunks of his own liver each morning.
This highly scientific ad promises that the man in the turban and his faux-Arabic pills will cure your husband's "drinking curse." If Samaria doesn't work, at least sneaking around and secretly dosing his drink will give you the practice you need to make your husband's incurable drinking problem goes away forever.
#14. Weight-Loss Soap
Via Laceyadjournal
You might be tempted to laugh about how childlike and naive people of the 1920s must have been to fall for a scam as ridiculous as "La-Mar Fat Reducing Soap." It's less funny when you think about how huge the market is today for penis-enlarging lotions.
#13. Pepsi Makes You Thin and Beautiful
"One look at this modern hostess' silhouette and you can just about guess the kind of thing she keeps in that refrigerator."
It's meth, right?
Oh, no, it's Pepsi. The diet of choice for snake-necked, oddly angular 1950s women. Though since the active ingredient in Coca-Cola used to be cocaine, who knows what their rivals were using? (We do. We're saying it's meth.)
#12. DDT Wallpaper
From the company that brought you asbestos teething toys, it's Trimz DDT children's wallpaper! Because it's totally intuitive that the best way to protect your children from insects is to fill their room with a powerful insecticide. Just make sure they don't lick the walls.
#11. Chesterfield Cigarettes: Good for Your Throat
Via Nowpublic.com
According to the charming man in the ad, a "medical specialist" surveyed a group of Chesterfield smokers and found they had no problems with their throats, noses or mouths. Medical specialists were probably thrilled to learn that Chesterfield would be pairing their endorsement with an announcement of the "first and only" super-sized cigarette. Because if smokers of regular Chesterfields show no adverse effects, smokers of king-size probably develop super powers.
Still, it's not the most dubious claim they've ever made about cigarettes. That award goes to ...
#10. Dr. Batty's Cigarettes Cure Everything
This ad, straight out of Contraryville, Opposite County, United States of Bullshit, advises cigarettes as a treatment for asthma, lung irritations and bad breath. Also, we suppose, they whiten teeth and make your wallet heavier, and if you smoke them for 40 years, they have been known to cure cancer.
#9. JouJou Breast Supporter/Slicer
The JouJou Breast Supporter is a futuristic device that finally gives women relief from those swollen, painful meat sacks growing out of their freak chests. Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like a totally ordinary bra. Not only does it relieve the pain of nature's mistakes, but it also cures cancer, as well as ... wait, what?
#8. Your Nerves Crave Ovaltine
Via Kitchen Retro
Here we were thinking that anxiety was a serious mental condition, but this old advertisement is here to set us straight -- nervousness is actually a sign of acute Ovaltine deficiency.
Ovaltine is portrayed here not only as a cure for insomnia (a bold claim for a caffeinated drink) but as a downright miracle potion, "supremely rich in nerve-restoring nourishment." So sleep soundly, stupid old-timey housewife. There's no army of rapists trying to break into your house, you just need to get back into the kitchen and fix yourself a malted milk.

Gerald Herbert/Associated Press
At The Grill Room at the Windsor Court, executive chef Kristin Butterworth � a recent transplant to New Orleans from Pittsburgh � researched for months before presenting her first r�veillon menu of braised pork belly with Gulf shrimp and white beans, local snapper with fennel and crawfish sausage and tenderloin with winter squash.
�When I delved into it and started to look at the history and the tradition of this meal, it was so amazing and so interesting to me,� she said. �I wanted to get it right.�
Even the salad took months of preparation, she said. Her winter greens are served with baby beets and squab prosciutto that Butterworth and her team cured in-house with salt, sugar, peppercorn and other spices over the last two months.
�A lot of love went into this menu,� she said.
The elaborate r�veillon meals, which stem from the old French tradition of eating a lavish meal after midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, have become a popular draw for visitors to New Orleans during the holiday season. In the weeks surrounding Christmas, about 50 restaurants offer four- to five-course meals of pan-roasted oysters, braised pork belly, duck confit, foie gras beignets and other holiday delicacies. The recipes have roots that date back to the beginning of the French city�s nearly 300-year history.
Though some restaurants serve r�veillon dinners after midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and after midnight fireworks on New Year�s Eve like in the old days, most offer the special menus during regular dinner hours.
Restaurants offer fixed-price r�veillon menus on top of their regular dinner menu starting in the weeks before Christmas and continuing through New Year�s Eve. R�veillon dinner prices can range from $35 to $90 a person depending on the restaurant.
John Magill, a historian and curator at The Historic New Orleans Collection museum and research center in the French Quarter, says r�veillon is French for �awakening� and was a term used by early Creoles to describe a meal that followed an evening event.
In the 1700s and 1800s, that could be as simple as beignets and cafe au lait at the French Market after a night out at the opera.
�You would eat to revive yourself after an evening event,� Magill said. �It didn�t always have to be a big heavy meal.�
R�veillons surrounding Christmas and New Year�s Eve, however, were grand affairs, he said. Families would spend days preparing a menu of comfort foods such as grits and grillades, gumbo, cakes and pastries, and the New Year�s Eve spread would be even more decadent, with oysters, duck and lamb.
The Christmas r�veillon would traditionally take place after a full day of fasting for communion at midnight services.
Select restaurants offer a wine-pairing option with each r�veillon course and caf� br�lot � a traditional New Orleans holiday beverage of strong coffee infused with strips of citrus, sugar, cloves, cinnamon and cognac or brandy.
Some restaurants serve the beverage flaming tableside for added drama.
Though New Orleans is just about the only U.S. city that celebrates r�veillon, the tradition is still alive in France, parts of Canada and other French-speaking places where it is a long dinner and celebration held on the evenings preceding Christmas Day and New Year�s Day.
R�veillon is also celebrated in Brazil and Portugal on New Year�s Eve. About 2 million people flock to the shores of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro for music and fireworks.
�It�s like what we do in Times Square but on a larger scale and on the beach,� said Michelle Sobhraj, spokeswoman for a New York-based marketing company that promotes Brazilian tourism.
In Brazil, revelers don outfits in the color that symbolizes their wishes for the New Year, such as red for romance and white for peace and luck. Many carry pockets full of money for continued prosperity and a bay leaf in their wallets for luck.

#6. Energy-Efficient Windows Laser-Punch Your Neighbor's House
So you want to be friendly to the environment and save on energy bills. You've heard that we lose a lot of our air conditioning through our windows, so you spring for those new low-E windows meant to reflect the sun's heat and keep the inside of your house cool. Now ask yourself: What is the worst possible way this could go wrong? The windows let in more sunlight? They crack the first time a fly lands on them?
How about they turn your house into a giant death ray that melts the neighbor's house?
Via Calfinder.com
On the plus side? This home's value to Gumby just, like, tripled.
See, those low-E windows have kind of a concave shape, so they not only reflect the light out of your living room, but focus it on whatever they're facing, like a magnifying glass frying an ant. And if your windows are aimed toward a neighbor's house that happens to have vinyl siding (which over one-third of the houses on the U.S. market do), it can get more than hot enough to make it look like they sided their house with taffy.
One Minnesota couple replaced the siding on their house multiple times before figuring out what the hell was causing it to warp. And they were just one of 25 families in their neighborhood to have experienced such damage, some of whom have given up on the Sisyphean task of replacing the siding only to have it melt again.
Via ABC News
But the good news is that they no longer have to pay someone to come in and melt their vinyl.
Since more and more building codes are starting to call for the use of low-E windows, and vinyl continues to be the most popular siding choice for new homes, the siding and window industries have engaged in a blame game over who should accept responsibility for the melting houses. The Vinyl Siding Institute has contested that vinyl is made "to withstand all kinds of natural phenomena," but that the windows have artificially concentrated the sunlight to create temperatures well over 200 degrees. The window manufacturers have countered that they are in fact rubber and the vinyl manufacturers are glue.
Meanwhile, as the number of melted houses continues to rise, siding manufacturers are starting to drop reflected sunlight damage from their warranty coverage, leaving homeowners to either foot the perpetual bills or be content living inside a Jackson Pollock painting.
"Sorry, buddy, but once a business reaches a certain level of success, it is no longer responsible for anything, ever."
#5. Waterless Urinals Cause Floods (of Pee)
The era in which we can waste precious millions of gallons of fresh water on flushing away our piss is coming to an end. So, unlike traditional urinals, which use one to five gallons of water per flush, new waterless urinals use no water save for the occasional cleaning. The only way to take a greener piss would be to use the nearest tree, which The Man has repeatedly discouraged us from doing (note that we're using "discouraged" as a synonym for "tasered" here).
These urinals are getting installed in new buildings around the world. So what's the problem? Well, imagine what pee looks like. Now imagine how it smells. Got that? OK, now imagine it just, like, everywhere.
"Oh God, it's like living in a dorm all over again."
You just imagined what Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Florida, looked like not long after replacing their standard urinals with 200 of the fancy no-flush type. What the school administrators didn't realize was that without any water to flush away the waste, it would just sit there in the pipes. Copper pipes. And apparently uric acid and copper don't make very good roommates. So the pee decided to bail, seeping out of the walls and into the halls like that scene from The Shining, only instead of blood it was, you know, pee.
But that's only one incident, right? A fluke? Nope: Both Chicago City Hall and O'Hare Airport have replaced their waterless urinals, citing corrosion, frequently clogged pipes and a strong stench. And if that wasn't damning enough, even the California Environmental Protection Agency has given up and removed theirs, too.
Defenders of the technology state that the urinals are feasible so long as the plumbing supporting them is made of PVC plastic rather than copper. But given the fact that 28 billion feet of copper piping has been laid in the United States since 1963 and that copper continues to hold 90 percent of the plumbing market in new construction, many buildings would be forced to rip out their old, working-just-fine pipes and install new, non-recyclable PVC in their place to accommodate these new urinals. So ... sort of the exact opposite of conservation.
Plastic -- just how nature intended.
#4. Compost Heaps Can Spontaneously Combust
According to the EPA, "Yard trimmings and food residuals together constitute 27 percent of the U.S. waste stream." If only we composted all that crap, we could virtually eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, repair damaged soil and absorb air pollution. And to think, you can accomplish all that simply by replacing your backyard with an enormous pile of rot!
So what's the downside? Two words: spontaneous combustion.
"Well, at least I don't need to edge now."
There you are, marveling at how you can save the environment just by tossing your banana peel into the yard, when OH MY GOD YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS ON FIRE. See, the raw materials in compost piles attract bacteria, which is good, because those are the little guys that break down your (sometimes actual) shit and turn it into plant food. But since we can't see them, it's easy to forget that they are in fact alive, and any living, moving things will create heat.
As more and more bacteria crowd together, reproducing in a big ol' bacterial orgy, they raise the core temperature of the pile. Then, needing to cool down from all that humping (and presumably rinse the taste of rotting garbage from their microscopic mouths), they suck up all of the pile's remaining moisture, effectively converting your compost into kindling. And since, like reality TV stars, bacteria lack the necessary gray matter to foresee the consequences of their unsustainable lifestyle, they continue down this path of self-destruction until the increased temperature of their surroundings results in an all-consuming compost bonfire.
Via Ktla.com
It's like Woodstock, only not quite as dirty.
The biggest cause of spontaneous compost combustion is people being too lazy to turn over their compost heap every once in a while so some air can get in there and cool it down. Apparently this is no small problem, because between 2005 and 2009, the National Fire Protection Association reported 5,250 "outside non-trash fires" started by spontaneous combustion, and of those, 28 percent were ignited by organic material. Just so you don't have to break out your calculator, that's 1,470 spontaneous combustions caused by people not wanting to mess with the icky stuff in the backyard. And it's quite easy for a fire that started in your compost heap to spread to your house or even your neighbor's house, making for a lifetime of truly awkward meetings by the mailbox.
But that's still nothing compared to compost fires that can break out at large facilities used for industrial farming, and according to one expert with a Ph.D. in rotten stuff, spontaneous combustion may actually be the most frequent cause of fires at these facilities. Sometimes such fires burn for days before firefighters can get them under control.
OK, so they were a little high. The point is that compost fires are bad.
The moral of the story is that while compost piles may be helping to make the world a cleaner, brighter (albeit a bit more stinky) place, you're still best served by thinking of those little bacteria as some kind of alien civilization that's been ripped straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster and plopped into your backyard: Their single overwhelming desire is to see you burn. And to think, you are feeding them.

How do professional mathematicians learn new things? How do they expand their comfort zone? By talking to colleagues?
closed as no longer relevant by Felipe Voloch, Yemon Choi, Bill Johnson, Tom Church, Ryan Budney Jan 8 '12 at 6:41
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Slowly and with difficulty, just like amateur mathematicians.
Well, understanding mathematics has different levels: Understanding is, mainly, pretending to understand. If you are able to cheat your professors, then your students, and your colleagues, it's OK. If you succeed to cheat yourself, then it means you went a bit too far.
While we are all waiting for sensible replies let me say this: one can't learn a new area of mathematics without asking at least one hundred silly questions (which is why Mathoverflow is such a great website by the way).
On a more serious note: learning really new stuff involves rethinking the basics. Or, as some people would say, learning a new language. Almost everyone speaks some language, but learning a new one once one has learned one already can be tricky, and there are few people who can learn it as well as their first language, although learning to just communicate in a foreign language is not that hard. A possible analogy would be that almost any mathematician knows something about physics, but there are few mathematicians who have a really good command of it.
On the other hand, most people who are bilingual have learned two languages simultaneously. Moreover, they did it not necessarily because they are exceptionally bright at learning languages, but because e.g. one parent spoke one language and the other parent spoke the other one, or because the parents had to move from one country to another (a not at all uncommon thing among mathematicians).
So here is an obvious conclusion: one should try to learn as many conceptually different things (geometry, algebra, analysis, physics) as one can while one is still an undergraduate or a beginning graduate student, or in high school if possible. When one is an undergraduate, one can learn anything, no questions asked (except for when the exam is); it can be harder later, when one is constantly trying to put things into perspective.
Talking to colleagues is good. Also, attending talks, reading papers and books, and teaching - I never knew much about differential equations until my department made me teach it (I still don't know much about differential equations, but at least I know enough to do a decent job of teaching it).
Try to solve a famous open problem in the new field. Even though you'll almost certainly fail, you'll learn a lot of new mathematics on the way.
Teaching a course in something is the only way that I can really learn something new.
It seems to me that the most important thing to learn when you're a graduate student is how to learn more mathematics. Everything else is detail. So you do what you learned to do as a graduate student (in order of increasing effectiveness, at least for me):
And I'll repeat what one of the other answers said: ask every dumb question that comes to mind and that you can't figure out the answer to. This can be done in person, by phone, or by email. Or even on MathOverflow.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of residents from around our Tri-State Area are no doubt joining millions of Americans today in doing a little holiday dreaming.
They're looking to grab a share of tonight's $500 million Powerball jackpot, and are willing to lay down a $2 wager that they can beat the odds and claim the life-changing prize. While it's OK to dream, we're asking everyone to take a step back from the frenzy and remember this cold, hard fact - it's very likely you will not be the big winner when the numbers are drawn at 10:59 p.m. today.
Consider: The chance of winning the Powerball jackpot with any $2 bet is 1 in 175 million. Just for those who are wondering, the odds of a person being hit by lightning in his or her life stand at 1 in 5,000.
Still, there's something intriguing about the possibility of claiming that top prize (or the $327.4 million cash value, for that matter.) While it would mean having instant access to all of the good things in life and could ensure a sound future for you and your relatives, it also would mean you would immediately become a member of the 1-percenters, that group of Americans who became a central point of contention during our recent presidential election.
No matter where you stand politically, that still would be a good problem to have. And that's why people in the 42 states - including Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia - the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands where the game is played (and others who live in the rest of the country, for that matter) are flocking to the lottery terminals to purchase their tickets.
The dreamers among us have been down this road before - a single ticket in Nebraska claimed Powerball's record of $365 million in 2006, and tickets purchased in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland shared the world-record $656 million Mega Millions jackpot in March.
Those are some big numbers, especially with the holiday shopping season under way.
If you choose to play, though, be responsible with what you wager, and stay grounded. Dreams of becoming a big jackpot winner can quickly be replaced by financial nightmares if you spend money you need for other things on lottery tickets.
Keep that in mind as you decide whether or not to play Powerball.

North American Racing Academy Reaches 2,000 Win Milestone
LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 29, 2013) – Jockeys who have attended the North American Racing Academy at Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) were on fire Friday, June 28th winning a total of eight races at three different race tracks, capped by a five win night for apprentice jockey Dylan Davis at Indiana Downs. Davis' second win on the card was the 2,000th winner ridden by a NARA jockey since the academy was launched in 2006. The 2,000 win milestone was reached when Davis, who began his riding career in 2012, booted home Luzianna Man for trainer Charlie LoPresti in the sixth race, a one mile & 70 yard turf event for allowance level horses.
Davis' father Robbie Davis was a top jockey during the 1980's in both New York and California winning over 3,400 races. His sister Jacqueline – a NARA graduate herself – is currently fourth in the jockey standings at Suffolk Downs Racetrack in East Boston, MA where she has been the second-leading rider the past three years.
Since its launch in 2006 BCTC-NARA has seen 51 out of 82 enrolled students join the equine industry workforce after preparing them for careers tailored to the care, training and riding of racehorses with 20 going on to careers as professional jockeys at tracks across North America.
Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron, who has been with BCTC-NARA since the beginning, had this to say about the 2000th win: "Words cannot express how incredibly proud I am of all of our graduates who have gone on to become jockeys, exercise riders, grooms, foremen, farm managers and broodmare managers. They have demonstrated the commitment and passion it takes to work with these magnificent thoroughbreds. This is just the beginning of more wonderful things to come in the years ahead. We are in the process of establishing student exchange programs with other schools like NARA around the world. I believe NARA/BCTC is providing a much-needed resource for experienced, qualified labor for the thoroughbred industry. Onward and upward we go…"
Added BCTC President Augusta Julian: "We couldn't be prouder of these young men and women who are contributing so much to the racing and breeding industries. My congratulations go to Dylan Davis but also to the many graduates since 2006 who got us to this important milestone."
Originally launched by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System NARA is now housed at BCTC and remains the most successful accredited career and training program offering one certificate and two year associates degrees in support of the horse racing and breeding industries.

Staff Reporter Brian Fraga has done a great job covering the controversy over Fall River Police Officer Thomas Barboza's wrongful conduct. Public opinion has weighed heavily against the police department's handling of this matter and for good reason.
Yes, the officer knew that he was being recorded, so he had no expectation to privacy. And public commentary has even cited the applicable case law. But, what is really disturbing to me is the lack of criminal enforcement by Chief Daniel Racine.
The destruction of evidence is a federal crime under U.S. Code Section 214 of Title 18, the civil rights conspiracy statute. Chief Racine knowingly is avoiding a federal investigation. It should be an honor to protect the rights of all citizens of Fall River, something the chief is incapable or unwilling to do.

I've looked for this question and haven't gotten a reasonable answer yet. If I synchronize a folder will it synchronize a symlink? Will it process all the way through the link to all the files within that symlink?
From the Ubuntu One FAQ:
Workaround: You can create the hard link in a different folder; afterwards move this newly created hard link to your Ubunto One folder. I tried this in a terminal and it worked, so I guess you can also write a script and use it as a nautilus script.

[US Energy Security Council]
[shale gas]
A bipartisan group called the US Energy Security Council,
comprising former military, business and political leaders, has
issued policy recommendations for the US
Congress as it grapples with fuel-related legislative issues.
The council believes the US Congress should create a topline
fuel competition corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) credit
for automakers that opens at least half of the vehicles in
their fleet to competing fuels, and ensures automaker
compliance with CAFE counts as compliance with greenhouse gas
regulations under the Clean Air Act. For flexible-fuel vehicles
to count as fuel-competitive vehicles, the council recommends
that they should be gasoline-ethanol-methanol flexible, not just
gasoline-ethanol flexible. CAFE rulemaking
should be refocused on the original goal of energy security,
prioritizing the reduction of oils importance through a
performance-based, technology-neutral approach, the
group said. As part of this effort, the metric of
miles-per-gallon (mpg) in CAFE should be abandoned as the
principal measurement of success since energy density differs
across fuels.

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

Newly Diagnosed and 16
Hello My name is Gabe, and I was 16 when I found out found out I had cancer. It started at the beggining of last christmas break (2009). I came home from my last day of high school finals and took a nap when I woke up I was in unbearable pain. I ended up going to the hospital to find out I had appendicitis, they took me in to remove it and afterwards said that I had what they thaught was a complex ovarian cyst caused by the appendicits and that it should go away though they seemed a little antsy. I was told to follow up though… and when I did I found out that I actually had a stage one Epithelial tumor of the ovary (I had been having bloating and urinary issues as well). I recently had a salpingo-oophorectomy and am feeling better. Hoping I won't have to go through chemo and that it will not rcurr in the left ovary. I'd loved to talk to anyone going though something similar. I am told it isn't really considered a teen cancer but that it can occur in teens.

The future, what do you mean? How can we be in the future?
For decades many of us have been in awe of the possibility of the future. Not that long ago the thought of carrying a single panel computer capable of presenting music, film, books, and games was nothing more than science fiction.
I live by the belief that if man can envisage it, people can create it.
Of course, there is the possibility of going too far, as is famously shown in Planet Of The Apes, circa 1968.
For now we can sit back and relax with a small and hopefully harmless portion of technology that seemingly has the effect of enhancing our lives.

Started a career with Liverpool FC and checked their finances, it shows they are 'Ok' and that there is a transfer budget of only 8 million.
Please can this be updated to be more realistic, we have new owners that have happily spent over 100 million and are willing to back the team/manager with further funds if needed. I bought one average player and my funds are gone, not very fun!

I bought an iPhone 3GS and tried to activate iMessage on it, but it won't work. I tried everything to activate it, but it still says "waiting for activation". What should I do?
A few of the things that are under your control are as follows:
It's hard to guess what exactly is wrong, but you also can edit your question to list what steps you have done to troubleshoot this and perhaps someone can guess or point out a missed step.
If no other messages appear (e.g. incorrect username or password for your iCloud account), that typically indicates that there's a problem contacting or getting authorization from Apple's iMessage servers. I've had that happen periodically when setting up or resetting iMessage on an iOS device.
Unfortunately, as it's a problem on Apple's end, there's not much to be done other than wait and try again periodically by turning iMessage off, then on again. At times when I've run into it, it's typically resolved itself within 5 to 30 minutes, sometimes even less.
If you still can't get it working within a few hours, then amend your question with that information and/or contact Apple.
I had the same problem with locked Sprint iPhone 5. Im using R-SIM7 for unlock and couldn't activate my phone, SMS, 3G, iMessages and Facetime wasn't working (Waiting for activation). Long story short, I managed to fix:
I have been reading forums and tried different solutions and what worked for me was to switch off 'Send as sms'.
My iMessage is still 'waiting for activation' but iMessaging works and so does regular sms
I faced this problem before and fixed it by logging out then logging in my Apple ID. There are couples of other methods that you can see at here.
I would also do a hard restart between attempts. Hold down sleep button and Home at the same time for abt. 10 seconds, wait for Apple logo to reappear.
Try logging into iTunes. Not sure what this would have done but it worked for me...

Ormet workers rally
November 13, 2013
CLARINGTON — The hundreds of laid off workers, retirees, spouses and United Steelworkers officials on hand Tuesday at the Ormet USW Local No. 5724 office in Clarington believe Ohio Gov....
1) Candidate Obama makes his "If someone wants to build a coal power plant statement in Frisco meanwhile Ormet union official are actively urging the membership to vote for Obama. 2) Electric rates rise due to EPA regs which req'd the closure of old coal fired power plants.
3) Ormet losing money, files bankruptcy due to high power costs.

As I recall, the last time Ormet workers had themselves a "rally", it was to re-elect obama!!....congrats to you all on your "victory"!

The USW leadership will have a great holiday and keep their "management" jobs, rich and powerful. I would say their management got the union membership nowhere. It is not the government's job to create and maintain corporations. Corporate management's job is to create wealth for the ownership...I guess the ownership was satisfied, and the government and union drove them to reallocate.
If it is the government's responsibility the union lobby can get a federally backed loan like Solyndra from their hero Obama...and buy and run the company themselves if corporate management was no good. This is all the result of union liberal democrat economic policies and failures. Start your own company, see how easy it is, pay yourself the same as the line employees, welcome to communist socialist utopia.

This rally stuff is ok but where in the hect was USW before the plant shut down. Ormet always blaming someone else for their mismanagement. Now the USW has allowed them to take all employees benefits that they have worked all their lives for. Employees of 5724 are on their own in this fight. USW just wants to make themselves look good coming forward now. A little late i'd say!!! Prayers to all Ormet workers and their families!

Why does everybody want to blame AEP? The writing was clearly on the wall, the judge ruled AEP was to give them a break IF Ormet continued to employ at least 600 people. A week later Ormet said "we`re done"! That tells me Ormet was going to get a break from AEP and still lay off hundreds of people. You are right Kaddy! The problem is Ormet management, not AEP, they are working for a living also. As far as the Union goes, look up & down the river. What have they done for the rest of their members: RG/Severstal/WhgPitt, Turf Care, various nursing homes and healh care facilities? These people have paid dues as well but got no help from the USW. Bottom line, don`t blame AEP for other management failure!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The only entity that can be blamed for the failure of Ormet is Ormet management. What does the Union want Kasich to do? Force AEP to lower the electric rates? Would all parties agree to the following Union - cut total employee benefits (wages and benefits) by 30% Management cut ALL non-union employees benefits by 30% (wages and benefits). AEP cut Ormet's electric rate by 30%.
That way EVERYBODY has skin in the game and if Ormet fails after that so be it!

Hosts edge tough opening test
Italy opened their 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup with a tense win over Iran, who finished third in the Asian qualifying tournament in Muscat. After regular time ended 6-6, the Europeans edged the affair 5-4 in a penalty shootout (the second of the day), which means they only get two points rather than the three they would have earned had they won in regular time.
After an uninspiring first period, in which both sides managed to get on the scoresheet, the game developed into an end-to-end and enticing affair, with the Iranians keeping hold of the lead for most of the game and the Italians chasing doggedly.
The hosts, whose best finish at a Beach Soccer World Cup came at Marseille 2008 where they finished runners-up, managed to take their first lead with just over seven minutes to go in the third and final period. The crucial goal came from the sizzling left foot of Franco Palma. However, Iran struck back with the seconds ticking away through Farid Boulokbashi.
Then, after a goalless extra-time period, penalties were required to separate the sides. The Italians scored all of their kicks and the Iranians scored their first four, only to lose out in the fifth and final try. Moslem Mesigar slammed his shot far too hard and over the crossbar to spark off wild celebrations in the Italian camp. The hosts now move into a two-way tie at the top of Group A alongside African outfit Senegal, who also won through in their match thanks to a penalty shootout.
Group A will be in action again on Saturday 3 September when Iran meet Switzerland and Senegal take on Italy in a top-of-the-table clash.

If I get lost in the wilderness, what is the very first thing I should do?
Assuming you told people where you were going and you don't have PLB with you, you should start building camp. Construct distress signal discussed here: How can I signal for help in the wilderness?
Always remember to leave an imprint of your boot in your car (assuming you arrived with a car, if not then at home, and make sure people close to you know about it), together with your notes for the trip you are planing to take.
@Pulsehead's answer is right, too, I just thought I'd offer an alternative. I guess the choice depends on how far from civilization you are and if you are injured.
The VERY FIRST thing you need to do is to not panic. Sit down for a minute or two and let your mind catch up to the fact you are lost. Now, take out your map, compass, gps, or whatever and try to find your way back to where you DID know where you were.
If you can't figure out where the trail should be and you need to bushwhack, find a bit of a clearing, take bearings to nearby landmarks, and draw on your map (or use sticks if they are straight) the bearing from whatever landmark. Try to get 3 or more landmarks, the lines will form either something resembling a polygon, or (if everything works out right) something resembling an asterisk. You are either in the polygon, or at the intersection of the sticks. Once you know where (or about where) you are, put a small stone on your map and then figure out which way to go.
If you don't have a map, or your GPS died, or you don't know how to take a bearing, one of the tricks I was taught in Wilderness Survival Merit Badge back in the Stone Age, walk downhill until you find a creek/stream/river. Follow the river's current, and likely you will cross a road. Once you have found a road (if it looks somewhat well travelled), wait for assistance. Otherwise decide whether to follow the river or the road until you DO get to a place where civilization extends its reach.
Oh, and above all, DON'T PANIC. If you panic or feel like you may start, stop doing whatever it is you are doing and calm down. If you keep your wits you are much more likely to survive the encounter.
A neat little (recursive) acronym i learned in my survival education in the army is STOP (freely translated from Swedish):
This is, of course, not a comprehensive, exact answer, but a nice to have mnemonic.
Yes, first stop to not make things worse, take a deep breath, and collect your thoughts. After that it depends a lot on the situation. I don't like most of the other answers because they assumed certain situations without stating their assumptions.
What you should do next depends on a lot of things, so much so that giving any simple answer is impossible. Factors that matter include:
There are various levels of being "lost". The usual definition is you don't know where you are, but clearly you have some idea. Most people use the term to mean that they don't know which direction to proceed in, which is quite different. Or do you have two or more choices, just don't know which one is the shortest or otherwise best way back?
Without a clearer description of what predicament you actually mean, it is impossible to give responsible advice.
That all aside, a general rule when truly lost (not knowing where you are) is to always keep in mind what your location is bounded by that you can identify. Start with as large a area as it takes, then think carefully about how you can narrow this down. For example, you may know there is a north-south road to your east, a river to the west, a cliff you'd fall off of to the south, etc. Eventually you can identify the area you are in with something bouding it all around that you would notice if you came accross it. Whatever you do, keep those bounds in mind.
I was always told to make a cup of tea. Doing so gives you time to think, and involves finding firewood and many of the materials you'll need if things go bad.
On the other hand, i'm British so given enough time to tie a shoe lace we've usually got a brew on.
The first thing to do is assess your equipment. Specifically:
This is the very first thing to do, because the answer to these questions determines all your subsequent actions. If you have a GPS or map, then you sit down and work to locate yourself. If you are still lost but have a cell phone signal, then you have the option to call for help.


text: Right, that was quick. The Parasite, one of the first 'books' I published - it is in fact a 40,000 word novella - is now available on Amazon Kindle. I've worked through it, but not a huge amount since I didn't want to change it into something that had ceased to be that original The Parasite. That, I can tell you, was a temptation difficult to resist. I also haven't got a cover picture or ISBN number up. If I'd used the original cover picture then I would have had to bugger about with copyright issues and I didn't get an ISBN because I don't yet know whether it would be worth the money (10 ISBNs for a £100 I'm told) I hope you all enjoy it.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Oklahoma Democrat is asking some of her fellow lawmakers to reconsider their opposition to federal health care reform.
State Sen. Constance Johnson was one of two dissenting votes in the Senate Finance Committee's Wednesday approval of a bill calling for reforming or eliminating parts of the Affordable Care and Patient Protection Acts.
The bills aim to increase the number of Americans with health insurance by expanding Medicaid and making insurance more affordable. Opponents say proposals are too expensive and intrusive.
Republican Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has refused to include the state in the federal program.
Johnson says Oklahoma's slipping health rankings and rising costs can be tied to the fact that one in six Oklahomans don't have insurance.

I'd like to find a better PlayStation Network avatar than the ones that come stock and standard with the PlayStation 3. Where can I go online to find and view all that are available?
There are several available on the PlayStation Store. Most of them are not free ($ 0.49), but it is possible to find free. You have only to run on the PlayStation Store, select Themes and avatars, and then selects Avatars. The ranking is depending on the game.
If you are a PSN Plus subscriber, there are a ton of free ones available. Otherwise you can get them from the PSN Store. I believe there are some free ones in there as well but, most cost a little bit.

I have dual booted Ubuntu 12.10 and windows 8. Recently, i have upgraded to 13.04 beta but i found there were some problems so i upgraded to beta 2. i lost all the programs i had. I tryed to install google chrome but failed so now i am stuck with chromiun instead. there are many irratating bugs that really get on my nerves and some of the features have been gotten a rid of.
What sould i do wait till ubuntu 13.04 official release comes out or just downgrade back into ubuntu 12.10. I have already made a bootable usb to prepare myself to go back into ubuntu 12.10 but should i do it. is it really worth the time and patience.
