How do you go about investigating whether a particular day school is best for your kids? I am most interested in the behavior and attitude of the students and the professionalism of the teachers and staff. I realize that it's possible to get some sense of these by visiting, but the feel one gets from a single visit is skewed by the halo effect induced by the presence of the visitor. It seems that it would be difficult to get a good sense of these things by asking around because anyone who knows about the school is likely to present a biased perspective based on their own experience, and because frank talk on these topics veers uncomfortably close to lashon hara.

There are some objective questions that can be asked that may help.
Hopefully there are a couple useful ideas in there.
One of my Rebeyim told me that you want to look at the 8th grade class and see how they are behaving as this is going to be the finished product of the school.
Any question that serves a useful purpose- not just out of curiosity- would be considered l'toelet- for a purpose and likely does not fall under the category of lashon hara. All of that assumes that one is really considering sending a child to the school, and one would need to let the person you are asking know that that is the reason you are asking. (As always ask your Rabbi for a definitive halachic answer.)
Just to add onto the previous excellent answers: Don't forget to check the educational level of the school. It is undeniable that the quality of the teachers and the emphasis on middos and character is important. At the same time, the academic level is also critical. The best way to check the educational level of the elementary school is by finding out what high schools the children go to. Are they generally accepted to the high schools of their choice? Are they accepted to high schools that are on par with your hopes for your child?
Additionally, it is important to check the attitudes in the school. Are the teachers happy to be Jewish? Do they believe in the importance of teaching Torah? Keeping mitzvos? Exhibiting good character? Acting kindly and respectfully? Most important, are they able to pass on these positive attitudes to the students?
A wise person once told me to always measure a school by its product. What do the children who graduate the school look like? How do they act when they grow into adults? That is likely how your child will turn out if you send him/her there.

Reach Financial Management & Resident Satisfaction with Energy Efficiency Solutions
Solutions for Public Housing Authorities
There's a challenge in the world of public housing where extreme budget cuts are making it tough to improve energy and water efficiency with an aging infrastructure. Rather than settling for inefficient lighting and water fixtures, housing authorities have other options. Today, they can develop water and energy conservation plans that provide guaranteed savings with no up-front capital costs. Those savings could then be applied to programs that will help your employees and residents to realize their dreams.
Since 1992, Constellation has been helping public housing authorities of various sizes do just that. Our NAESCO-accredited team has extensive experience implementing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) programs. Our capabilities encompass every aspect of successful EPCs in local communities across the United States.
Another way to enhance your EPC's performance is through our resident and employee conservation training programs. The training program is designed to educate residents and employees and give them the tools and knowledge to maintain conservation measures and savings after the project is complete.

Ash's Unfezant
this wiki
This Unfezant is a normal/flying-type Pokémon owned by Ash. She is the first Pokémon that Ash obtained in the Unova region.
Unfezant, as a Pidove, was caught soon after Ash began traveling in Unova in Enter Iris and Axew!. Ash tried to catch another Pidove beforehand, but the rest of the flock attacked him and flew away, leaving this particular Pidove pecking at the ground. She proved herself to be a strong battler, holding her own against Pikachu before being knocked out by his Thunderbolt and caught by Ash.
Pidove was then sent out in an attempt to rescue Pikachu and Iris' Axew from Team Rocket. However, she was easily defeated by Jessie and her newly-caught Woobat due to being tired from her earlier battle against Pikachu.
Pidove has mainly been used by Ash to search for other Pokémon, as seen when she was used to find two wild Darumaka in Saving Darmanitan from the Bell! and a wild Snivy in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!. She played a major role in Snivy's capture, as she was unaffected by Snivy's Attract because of being of the same gender.
Pidove was used against Trip's Frillish in A Rival Battle for Club Champ!. She was quickly defeated by Frillish's Water Pulse. She was later sent to Professor Juniper's lab in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest! to make room for Ash's Sewaddle, but was returned to his party in The Lost World of Gothitelle!.
In A Venipede Stampede!, she helped clear out a swarm of Venipede from the Castelia City. She was nearly hit by a Sludge Bomb, but was saved by Trip's Tranquill. She then cleared a few more Venipede and suddenly evolved into a Tranquill.
As of Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!, Tranquill was sent back to Professor Juniper's lab while Swadloon stayed on Ash's team but later in Archeops in the Modern World!, Ash brought her back to help a revived Archen learn how to fly.
In Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!, Tranquill helped search for Ash's Scraggy, Iris' Axew, and Katharine's Gothita at night.In An Amazing Aerial Battle!, Tranquill appears for Ash's gym battle with Skyla, she defeated Skyla's Swoobat after it beat Ash's Krokorok. She then battled Skyla's Unfezant and was knocked to near fainting but Ash switched her for Pikachu. After Pikachu was defeated by Swanna, Ash used Tranquill again but she nearly lost, however Tranquill evolved into Unfezant and learned Aerial Ace, beating Swanna and winning Ash the Jet Badge.
In Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1), Unfezant was used in a Gym battle against Roxie's Koffing and just like Boldore, got knocked out.
In Cameron's Secret Weapon!, Ash used Unfezant in his Vertress Conference battle against Cameron and his Riolu. Despite Unfezant having the type advantage, Riolu proved to be a powerful opponent, being able to dodge both Gust and Quick Attack before landing on Unfezant's back and serving a close range hit with Force Palm. Ash told Unfezant to shake Riolu off and then strike back with an Air Cutter. However, the Emanation Pokémon was able to dodge the attack and then use Copycat, hitting Unfezant with her own move, before serving another hit with Vacuum Wave. Unfezant tried to attack with Aerial Ace, but the Flying-type's last effort was avoided and countered by Riolu's Circle Throw, which sent Unfezant flying into the arena wall, knocking her out.

Topeka, KAN. (WIBW)--What happens to a goose who finds fishing wire? Let's see one goose's tangled mess.
Bev Stanwix is a regular at the reflection pond at 6th and gage. Some two weeks ago she brought her granddaughters to the spot and they were very concerned by a certain site.
"We noticed this one duck with all this fishing line wrapped around his ankle," said Stanwix.
She immediately took action.
"I called. I called everyone I can think of. I started with the humane shelter and went to the government wildlife," said Stanwix.
Unfortunately she heard some unsettling news.
"The lady from the wildlife said oh eventually his foot will drop off and he won't be able to swim. He'll only have one foot to paddle with. I called WIBW today and here they are trying to do something. My last resource should've been my first," continued Stanwix.
The goose's right leg appears to be strung up by fishing wire, hindering him from resting it on the ground. A little after 10 the grounds management from Penwell-Gabel Cemetery were on site and working to catch the injured Canadian Goose.
The goose outsmarted the cemetery grounds management team, so our next call was to the Topeka Zoo. The animal rehabilitator knew he would only get one shot, so he waited patiently for the moment of truth. With net in hand, it was time to make the move. This lucky goose will get the proper care and attention needed to be released back into the wild, and we'll be there to bring you the story.

I can't quite get the hang of this. I've been in a few maps where a pro was just demolishing everything like this. I'm asking for specific instructions with an xbox 360 controller.
To circle strafe with a helicopter in any game you have to understand some things about helicopter controls.
There are three main controls, the cyclic, the collective, and the pedals.
To circle strafe (or orbit while facing the target) you will need to tilt the helicopter to the right with the cyclic, while using the pedals to keep the helicopter pointed at what your circling.
To orbit to the right you would tilt the cyclic right, while turning the pedals left. In human terms, you walk leaning to the right(cyclic), and then keep your torso turned to toward what you are circling (pedals).
I'll try to translate to controller controls later.
Update for Comments: If the bird just spins like a top and falls to the ground then you are using to much pedal, and need to tap it less often. More likely you are loosing altitude as you strafe pointing at the target. This is normal helicopter behavior; I'll explain.
When a helicopter tilts in a direction, some of the force used to lift the helicopter is taken away to be used to shift the helicopter. This means you also have to increase the collective, or make the helicopter go slightly up while you execute the maneuver.
In most games there is a balance point of strafe and lift. This means you tilt(cyclic) the bird enough that full throttle (collective) keeps you at the same altitude. After that it's just a matter of rotating the bird (pedals) to keep it pointed where you want it.
Sorry, I haven't been able to translate to xbox controls yet.
The chopper right/left movement controls are relative to the direction you're facing. So the simplest way to circle-strafe with it is to keep tapping one of the controls lightly while you rotate your view slightly to keep the desired target locked.
So, for example, if you want to strafe counter-clockwise around something, center it in your targeting reticule. Then tap the key to strafe right ('D' by default) while using the mouse to keep the target in the reticule. Keep repeating those little adjustments and you'll circle around the target.
I confess I'm not very good at it, but that is how it's done.

A united nations of food in Cape Town
Cape Town is a gastronome's delight. Wherever you go you will find great-tasting, carefully prepared food, from the Constantia wine route to the city centre and the V&A Waterfront.
But just a little away from the bright lights there are restaurants serving food from many other countries: Greek, Lebanese, Korean, Thai, Chinese, Japanese – the list, it seems, is endless.
Addis in Cape is an Ethopian restaurant, traditionally decorated, where they perform a classic Ethiopian coffee ceremony and serve authentic food. The chef is Ethopian and the menu has been designed with everyone in mind, from carnivores to vegetarians and vegans. Addis in Cape, is in Church Street in the city centre.
Cape Town's Mediterranean climate may give you a hankering for hummus and falafel or chickpea stew. And one of the best places to find it is at Cedar, a Lebanese restaurant in Kloof Street that is owned and run by a Lebanese family.
Reviewing Cedar on TripAdvisor, Capetonian Holly2Capetown described the restaurant as the surprise of the year: "If you manage to look past the awkward decor and bad location (below the checkers in Palmhof shopping centre) - you are in for a treat! family run mom-pop restaurant - the owners are middle eastern and the food is as authentic as you get!!! Ask the owner to recommend something, you will not be disappointed. Good value for money too."
Saigon, on the corners of Camp and Kloof Streets, has been serving authentic Vietnamese food for years and it is advisable to make a reservation.
If you're in the mood for ceviche, a South American dish in which raw seafood is marinated in citrus juices, why not try Keenwa, situated in Waterkant Street?
Smoke a hookah pipe while sip Turkish coffee at Barans on Greenmarket Square, and enjoy their delicious starters. They serve a delicious and filling mezze platter.
Come and discover a cornucopia of taste sensations in Cape Town!

FPS the New RPG?
By templedf on Jan 13, 2009
This article makes me very sad. First, it makes me sad because of the complete madness of it all. I'm really getting tired of reading about stupid people shooting each other for dumb reasons, especially when it's a kid behind the trigger. I would say that it's time to move back to Europe, but the nonsense is starting to propagate over there, too.
The other reason the article makes me sad is the self-serving, ultimately destructive plea from the defense team. Back when I was in junior high and high school, it was all the rage for the media to claim that role-playing games, like Dungeons & Dragons, made children worship Satan and kill themselves and their parents. Which is, of course, complete nonsense. I spent my entire youth playing every RPG I could get a group to play, and I've never been convicted of any serious crime. Now that RPGs have largely been replaced with MMORPGs (Massively Multi-Player Online RPGs) and other online FPSes (First Person Shooters), the media has turned its attention to video games. Am I honestly to believe that a perfectly normal, sane youth can spend enough hours making his/her thumbs sore that he/she will turn into a raving psychopathic killer? The thing the article leaves out is that this kid would have tried to kill his parents even if he'd spent all those Halo 3 hours watching Barney instead. (Actually, he might have tried sooner!) Unbalanced people do unbalanced things, with or without a video game to blame.

In Elder Evils, there is a bodak blackguard who has a really cool mount. It's a flying construct with a nightwing's essence bonded to it. Very reminiscent (perhaps borderline steal?) of the Hobgoblin. Needless to say, one of my PCs asked if he could have a wyvern at a sufficiently high level instead of an ill-tempered pony.
Are there any rule precedents for blackguards or paladins having alternate monstrous mounts? I'm most interested in published variant rules (if any). Short of those I'll take any reasonable suggestion. So far I've just been treating them like additional party members, such as cohorts gained from the leadership feat. Is this the only choice available to DMs, currently?

WACO (February 7, 2013)--A man was sentenced Thursday to federal prison time after he earlier pleaded guilty to conspiring with others to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute the drug.
Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Marlin Fike to serve 2 years in federal prison to be followed by 1 year on supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the court.
A federal grand jury indictment says Marlin Fike and three other men, beginning in January 2003, conspired together to purchase and transport large quantities of cocaine into Central Texas, intending to sell the drugs here and in other cities.
The first count of the indictment charged the group with conspiring to possess and distribute methamphetamine, as well, but that charge was set aside Thursday.
Fike pleaded guilty to count two, the cocaine charge, and the three other men also pleaded guilty to count three, which stated they concealed a financial transaction that dealt with gaining proceeds from the sale of an illegal substance.

Landmarks of Washington, D.C.
11 of 14
White House
The White House is the official residence of the president of the United States and the oldest public building in Washington, D.C. Much of the White House was destroyed in the War of 1812. Later, when the building was being restored, the smoke-stained gray stone walls were painted white. Six levels with 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms accommodate all the people who live, work, and visit the White House. Approximately 6,000 people visit the White House each day.
Fun Fact: Other names for the White House have been the "Presidential Palace," "Executive Mansion," and the "President's House."

I am in high school and in the morning my principal makes announcements before אשרי at the end of שחרית. The announcements often have absolutely nothing to do with davening. For example, he will tell us the scores of a game that the school's basketball team played recently. I know there is no halachik issue of hefsek at this point in davening, but it still doesn't seem right to interrupt שחרית to tell us this information. In elementary school, I don't thinks the announcements were as unrelated to davening as they are now, but they were also given before אשרי, which leads me to believe that it is accepted to do this. Why?
Sign up

There is precedent to interrupt mid-davening for a mitzva or for needs of the community. These announcements were actually made right after Yishtabach. Examples in the Shulchan Aruch and Rema (54:3) include:
Our custom is not to interrupt after Yishtabach, but there are many places that do so before ashrei for important matters if they are concerned some might leave.
Your concern was also with interrupting for matters such as basketball scores. I can only think of 2 possibilities:
Not-so-good: The announcements started as proper, but sometimes we forget the "heter" and need to be reminded. If this is true, don't be embarrassed to ask the announcer in a respectful way why he does this.
Better: We all know how much high school students enjoy davening ;) Perhaps the announcer (or whoever sanctioned the announcement) is trying to pump up some adrenalin and hoping to channel it to the rest of davening, but feels that that would be inappropriate prior to davening.
Let me list the issues with this that you may want to bring up.
1) The Shulhan Aruch (28:1 37:2) implies clearly that you are not allowed to be Mesiah Daat (lose focus) from the Tefilin for even one second.
2) Well this is more of a Humra: the Arizal wouldn't even talk Divre Mussar or anything in the Bet HaKeneset because he suspected he might speak things that aren't related to Torah.
3) This is for those who recite Leshem Yihud: Kaf HaHaim Palachi (as well as the Zohar) warn very much against talking in the middle of an action if one recited Leshem Yihud. The Zohar even says that one who stops in the middle of the action he made Leshem Yihud on Has WeShalom his life will stop (Rahmana Lesilan).
4) Rebbe Nachman of Breslev (this source is also from the Zohar and Arizal seen in Orhot Sion) states that one should avoid speaking at all from waking until the end of Shacharis.

I have a file that was deleted, but is still held open by a program. I found the inode number using lsof. How can I create a hard link back to that inode?
You can't create a link to it, but you can get it back. Let's do an experiment:
myfile.txt is now gone, but the inode is kept alive by the tail command. To get your file back, first find the PID of the process keeping the inode:
The PID is 409. chdir to /proc/409/fd/ and list the contents:
The /proc/[PID]/fd/ directories contain symlinks to file descriptors of all files the process uses. In this case the symlink "3" points to the deleted file. So, to restore the file, copy the contents to a new file:
to get the whole file if it is still written to try
from: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25527/how-to-follow-a-la-tail-f-a-binary-file-from-the-beginning
(btw: ln from the fd on /proc doesn't work, just tried that)
There is no portable way to do this under Linux. Best way would probably be to get all activity on the file-system to cease, kill the program that holds the file open, unmount the file system and use a file-system debugger to re-attach it to a directory. If you have the file system exported through NFS, at least some versions of NFS may allow you to read the file data across NFS.

In what scenarios would you use 「」 quotation marks instead of 『』, and vice versa?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In Japanese, the symbols 「」 are called [鉤括弧]{かぎかっこ} and the symbols 『』 are called [二重鉤括弧]{にじゅうかぎかっこ}. The basic rules for these symbols are simple: 「」 is used to denote quotation, and 『』 is used to denote quotation inside a 「」-quote.
In some contexts, 『』 is also used to denote the title of a book and other kinds of works.
Example (from Wikipedia with an English translation by me):
I may be wrong about that, but I think they just serve as primary and secondary quotation marks - the same way single quotes and double quotes serve in English. They exist since sometimes printers want to distinguish two kinds of quotes. How exactly they're used and what exactly they distinguish depends on the publisher or writer, of course.
The most usual usage pattern (at least for printed publications) is probably the same as in English: 「 」 are used for main quotations and 『 』 are used for quotations-within-quotations. That doesn't say this is the only usage pattern though.
Since most published writing today is actually out there on the net, and doesn't go through a punctilious (so to speak) publisher, you get all kinds of different and quite unorthodox uses of punctuation. For that matter, respectable printers never used straight quotes ("like these") in English, but only smart quotes ("like this"). They also used em- and en- dashes, never minus signs. But that doesn't prevent people from using straight quotes and minus instead of dash everywhere - so expect the same to happen with Japanese. Standards for punctuation marks existed in the Age of Print, but now the Age of Print is dead, long live the Age of the Internet.

Most of us can't devote a lifetime of study to this topic, much less gain access to the mouldering records so assiduously researched by the author. Thanks to McLaughlin, we don't have to in order to find out about the interesting history of this class of ship. Sloop of War is at once an extremely detailed academic treatment of early Royal Navy warships, and simultaneously a reference work that could grace any coffee table." - www.whatwouldthefoundersthink.com [5]
This is the first in-depth study of the Royal Navy's vital, but largely ignored small craft. In the age of sail they were built in huge numbers and in far greater variety than the more regulated major warships, so they present a particular challenge to any historian attempting a coherent design history. However, for the first time this book charts the development of the ancillary types, variously described in the 17th century as sloops, ketches, brigantines, advice boats and even yachts, as they coalesce into the single 18th-century category of Sloop of War. In this era they were generally two-masted, although they set a bewildering variety of sail plans from them. The author traces their origins to open boats, like those carried by Basque whalers, shows how developments in Europe influenced English craft, and focuses in on the relationship between rigs, hull-form and the duties they were designed to undertake.
Visual documentation is scanty, but this book draws together a unique collection of rare and unseen images, coupled with the author's own reconstructions in line drawings and watercolor sketches to provide the most convincing depictions of the appearance of these vessels. By tackling some of the most obscure questions about the early history of small-boat rigs, the book adds a dimension that will be of interest to historians of coastal sail and practical yachtsman, as well as warship enthusiasts.
Ian McLaughlan is a retired British Army officer with a keen and active enthusiasm for small-boat sailing. From this passion, he developed a profound interest in the rigs, design and operations of the Navy's smallest combatants. A decade of study has resulted in this book.

"Wait a minute i'm shutting my room down, Chill Winston!"
by The E double D March 06, 2004

Top Definition
Comes from The Lenny Henry Show from the late 80's in the UK. Lenny Henry's character (Delbert Wilkins) would often tell his friend Winston to calm down in his character's vaguely West Indian accent - "chill, Winston". The line used in Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is a reference to this. It has become a common British saying, though many are unaware of it's origin.
Chill Winston! I've got it under control.
by Floydus July 16, 2011
It was mentioned in the movie Lock Stock as a term to mean 'calm down'.
It was originally said on a British TV advert in the early 1990s.

I need to set the font on the XP command prompt on a few machines so that it would correctly display Hebrew file names. The default font displays a lot of gibberish, so I'm pretty sure changing it will do the trick. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
There are two steps to doing this. Firstly you need to set a font that supports hebrew charectors as an availible font for the command prompt. To do so, open regedit and browse to this registry key:
In here you should see an entry of:
You need to create a new string value, called 00, with a value of the name of the font you want to use. If you already have a 00 entry in their, use 000 and so on.
Once done, restart the machine. You should now be able to click on the upper left corner and your font list should now include the font you wish to use.
The following article describes how to add fonts to the command prompt dialog, though I haven't tested it. The article also links to a Microsoft Knowledge base article on the requirements for command window fonts. http://smallvoid.com/article/winnt-cmd-add-font.html
Apart from installing a font with Hebrew glyphs, I think you may also need to change the codepage, like by invoking
Note that when running
(And like you may already understand: for Unicode support, one should not use "raster fonts".)
EDIT: in Super User's How to change the Windows console font?, user Leonardo provided a link to Why are console windows limited to Lucida Console and raster fonts? This article explains:
In other words: only a few fonts will actually render nicely in console windows.
In the command-prompt you can click on the upper-left corner icon to choose Properties. In those screens is a Font choice but on my system it is limited to 2 fonts.
While many of than answers will change the font, it might also be helpfult to be able to type in those filenames should you decide to do something with them. For windows XP you need to install the MUI pack. MUI packs are generally availalable to enterprise agreement customers

Many of you have probably heard the phrase "to no avail", as in "I tried to talk them out of it to no avail." (Which means I tried to talk them out of something but failed to do so).
However, I was wondering if the opposite of "to no avail" existed. Something like such:
I took advantage of the ignorant to all avail.
Thus implying I took advantage of the ignorant in all extent possible. Is this correct, or would you phrase it differently?

I heard it was twice in two years. Is that right? Where does that come from? If I have no reason to assume they became pasul do I still have to check them?

An individual's mezuzah has to be checked twice in seven years. A community's mezuzah has to be checked twice in fifty years. Yoreh Deah 291:1.
You have to check them even if you don't assume they are pasul. In fact, even if you check three mezuzos, you still have to check all of the others (Pischei Teshuvah 291:1).
The Aruch HaShulchan (291:1) says that in a place which is exposed to the elements and moisture or rot are common, one should check more often than twice in seven years and at least once a year. He notes that this was his personal practice.
As Rav Herchel Schachter notes at approximately the 26:30 mark in this shiur, Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach clarified the halacha of checking twice every seven years, that it is not the case nowadays.
The twice-in-seven-years requirement was stated when the situation was heat extremes. But nowadays, where we have air conditioning in the summer and steam in the winter, the halacha of checking would be like that of tefillin -- check it once initially, and then continue to assume that it is good.
Furthermore, see section II part C of this article / notes by R' Aryeh Lebowitz for a fuller discussion. I'll quote the relevant portion in full:
So, to answer the first comment, it would perhaps encompass outdoor mezuzot.
Indeed, I've heard it said elsewhere that repeated checking will wear down the mezuzot, and make them become pasul sooner.

I was just wondering if all the items you collect over time take up space in your inventory making it so you can't have as many weapons, med kits and items of importance? I just sold a lot of my things, I had a crazy amount of stuff, can you keep collecting with no penalties, i.e. space issues?
The only things that take up space in your inventory are usable items: weapons, health kits, alcohol etc.
Things like wire, algae, batteries (the miscellaneous items) do NOT take up space.
You will find as you play through the game that a lot of the weapon mods tend to appear after Act 1 and usually require more than 1 of an item (eg. Batteries x2). Keep every miscellaneous thing you loot. Miscellaneous items that show up in green (like the LP3400 battery) are used in later level mods (like ones found in Act 3).

ABILENE, Kan. (WIBW) -- It's a hot topic that's made headlines across the country- students saying that they are left hungry from not getting enough food thanks to new federal guidelines governing what and how much kids are served in school lunches.
The national spotlight has been on Abilene High School students who are taking a stand by bringing their own lunches and eating outside of their cafeteria to protest the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act which increases the required number of servings of fruits and vegetables and cuts down on the calorie content of food items offered to students. The bill is designed to improve nutrition and focuses on reducing childhood obesity.
"There's smaller portions, not enough protein, I'm hungry at the end of the day. It forces me to eat when I get home. I bring my own lunch and I pack it with a lot better stuff. I pack it with chicken and meat, more meat than the school gives us of course, so I'm not hungry when I get home," said freshman Gehrig Geissinger.
"We don't feel that the lunch portions are enough and the quality isn't good enough to make up for it so we're bringing our own sack lunches to have a healthy meal where we feel that we're getting enough food... I feel more energetic and I'm having foods that I like too, not jut whatever they have at school. There hasn't been a negative for bringing my own lunch," said sophomore Keegun Gose.
In the first three days of the protest, the school served half of the lunches they normally do.
Several hundred students have taken part in the peaceful protest, which has been covered by news agencies throughout the country, including USA today.
The protest came about when students were learning about Gandhi in World History class and how he led India to independence from British colonial rule through the practice of nonviolent civil disobedience. They wanted to use his example and practices and apply them to an issue that directly impacted them.
"We had been studying Gandhi and a student said, 'It's too bad we can't do what Gandhi did to bring out a change in school lunches.'...
It's been very inspiring to see these students doing this. While they want to see the change to the Healthy and Hunger Free Act of 2010, they have discovered that they have a voice and that they can be heard and they can try to bring about change in a positive manner," said World History teacher Wendy Sherbert.
School principal Ben Smith added: "It's pretty neat to see kids get together and do something that they feel makes a difference and to have a voice and to use that voice in an appropriate manner. I can't reiterate enough how proud I am of these students for doing things in a civil manner. They're not walking out of school, they're not walking out of class. They've been 100% respectful both to the facility and to our workers here. And they know it's not our kitchen staff or our food service director who is responsible for the changes that affect their school lunches and so as far as that goes, I couldn't be more pleased with how they chose to handle it."
Kyleen Krehbiel, Food Service Director for Abilene Schools, wishes students would take a chance on school lunches, telling 13 News that the meals are balanced and that extra portions are available. She is supportive of students' effort to apply what they've learned in class to a current issue but she's concerned that the protest is sending more students to the snack bar.
"I really do want students to have feedback in the menu-planning process. I want them to be able to pick new entrees and new fruits and vegetables because the ultimate goal is to get students excited about eating healthy foods and that'll increase consumption because right now, I'm concerned that students aren't eating everything that's offered," she said.
Smith, the principal, says the school can lose money because there's a reimbursement that comes back to them for lunches that are sold.
"We're not going to end up feeling it a whole lot and they do know that there's just a little bit of a crunch that the school might end up feeling but at the same time, they don't want to hurt the school because they know it's not the school's fault. What they're hoping is what the school feels, if everybody did it, eventually it would make sense to the federal government that maybe they could do things a little different," he told WIBW.

Good place to stay. Have already recommended them to some of my friends visiting London.
Lucy and Manu are very nice people. They sent the travelling information to their house in advance and it made my trip to find the place very easily. The room is very clean and functions well, particularly it is very quite. Would live to recommend!
Perfect hosters. A very good breakfast! 10 minutes walking to Stratford Station, with connections to Jubilee line, Central Line, LDR or, in front of the house, bus 25 to Oxford Circus.
Thank you, Lucía and Manuel

To the editor:
Almost all tobacco users become addicted before the age of 26. Thousands of kids try their first cigarette every day.
In recent years, a decline in youth smoking rates has stalled and the use of other tobacco products by young people has actually increased.
The tobacco companies are aware of these trends and spend millions of dollars on new products and deceptive marketing with the goal of turning children into lifelong customers.
One of the best ways to prevent kids from ever starting the deadly addiction is to increase the price of tobacco products so they can't afford to purchase them. States have been successfully using this tactic over the past decade by increasing local tobacco taxes.
In President Barack Obama's recent budget proposal, he suggests increasing the federal cigarette tax by 94 cents. This one simple act can keep nearly 2 million kids from ever becoming adult smokers. And more important, it means that more than 600,000 youth won't die prematurely from a smoking-related death.
Congress, this is a win-win idea. You can decrease long-term health care costs and protect our children. I urge you to consider the president's proposal to increase the federal tobacco tax. It's the right choice for our kids.

WACO (October 5, 2012)--Two crime scene technicians from the police department's crime scene unit received F.B.I. recognition for their part in catching a serial bank robber.
Joyce Marek and Laura Teamer were awarded certificates of recognition this week for their help in catching serial bank robber Bradley Craig Kilmer.
The technicians were able to lift a partial hand print and link it to Kilmer through a database, leading to his arrest.
The evidence implicated Kilmer in a bank robbery that occurred in Lacy Lakeview August 8.
Kilmer has subsequently been charged with numerous bank robberies in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina, police said.

I don't know of a word that encapsulates all of that, but here are a couple of suggestions, depending on the situation. More than likely, an idiomatic phrase will best suit.
1) off the hook: addresses the relief, though it doesn't full capture the credit (or brownie points)
2) absolved: free of duty or obligation. The downside here is the connotation of forgiven sin--not quite what we're after.
3) got/gave a free pass: with enough context, this could work.
I don't think there exists a single word to describe the feeling you're describing, as it's actually two feelings being experienced simultaneously.
The first is relief (oh good, I don't have to lend him money after all), and the second is self-righteousness (but wasn't that great of me to offer?).
We're complex creatures, human beings. More often than not, one word doesn't suffice.

Matching the Time Frames of Your Analyses and Your Trading
Toward the end of last week, I raised the possibility that we might ultimately hold the May/June lows, which could lead to a bounce back into that long-term trading range. When Monday's weakness could not take out the prior week's lows and we held strength after weakness in Asia, that trading range scenario gained credibility.
Interestingly, however, my conjectures were generally met with a near indignant response from traders who emailed. "How could we go higher when the economy is so weak?" was a common response. The key to the replies, however, was the emotional tone of indignation--almost as if I had insulted their family members.
Those traders had a *need* to believe in a bearish thesis; their beliefs were not grounded in how the market was actually trading. This dynamic is not unique to bears; I found similar indignation when I posted an article to a website in early 2000 comparing the stock market to the exhausted 4 AM dancers in Ibiza. I received many defensive replies, indicating that I simply did not understand the new market paradigm.
The economy may indeed be weak and stocks may ultimately reach new bear market lows. What I know is that the market is not trading that outlook right here and now. As long as more volume is being transacted at the market's offer price and more stocks are ticking up than down, I want to participate in that demand/supply imbalance.
It's vitally important that the time horizon of your analyses fit the time horizon of your trading and investing. Mismatches will take you out of good investments on short-term weakness, and they will keep you out of short-term rallies on longer-term pessimism.

Absolutely ... in addition, we sometimes get focused in on a scenario and it becomes very difficult to accept the signs of a move in the other direction. We remain focused on the same play that has been working over the last few days and all of a sudden ... the market changes.
How to remain open-minded and objective as we begin each day of trading is my most difficult task.
- JimRI said...
Very Timely. I was convinced that the daily candle on the S&P for yesterday was a hammer and while I was aware of Intel and the overnight thrust and before opening enthusiam (CNBC etc) I still passed on opporturnites as my emoting was biased by earlier thoughts.
- Ryan said...
When you say "more volume is being transacted at the market's offer price" is this just a qualitative observation or are you tracking this somehow? Thanks.

Hi Ryan,
That is directly measured via Market Delta per my past posts--
- Bear said...
Great post Dr. B.
Not that I took advantage of it, but the key tell in my analysis was individual stock charts. Almost all simply looked like normal pull-backs, as opposed to the trading range bound S&P and DJIA or the well advertised H&S formation many seemed to be keying on.
- Dad said...
Guilty! I didn't reply to you, but I held a strong bearish bias, whcih cost me on a few SPY puts due to expire this week.
Not a lot of money, but nonetheless I should have (and did) seen the strength.
Thanks so much for all your time you put into this blog!
- Dad said...
I was definately saddled with a bearish bias.
Cost me by hanging onto a few SPY 91 puts due to expire!
I did see the strength, but my bias did not allow me to get out.
Thanks for all you time you put into this!
- On the Way said...
I am embarassed to admit it, but my best trading was done during the first 6 weeks when I first started trading 8 years ago. I knew close to nothing about trading, but I had no biases, no opinion at all about the market. I just traded the present action and took more scratches than losses, since I would get out of a stock if it didn't go in my favor from the start.
It seems better to have no opinion about the market at all. Is that so? But then, isn't the goal of technical analysis to have an idea of the probabilities of different scenarios? How does one act on probabilities without forming an opinion?
Not to need to be right certainly helps. But there is more than that...
- Ariel said...
To that last question - I believe technical analysis is a way to interpret what price and market action is suggesting about probable next moves, AND remain objective enough to continually refresh to see if new info says an old hypothesis should be abandoned and a new one substituted. It's the resistance to change that makes us prefer to cling to wrong positions. Just my thought.

What have you bought already during this WootOff?
I had three coupons from JumboWoot burning a hole in my virtual pocket and all expiring soon. I bought today's t-shirt (how could I not?) but haven't found anything else to buy yet today. I WANT to spend some money, but nothing has tempted me yet? It makes me wonder what items others and buying and why?

All are Christmas gifts, except for the glow sticks. My granddaughter loves them, good to have around...
I also had 3 coupons and bought the bacon salt, Ginsu carving set and the Remington shaving set. It's the combination of the coupons and the all-day-$5.00-shipping that got me!
(I don't think I'm done yet...)
I have a Jumbowoot coupon burning a hole in my pocket, but I haven't seen anything yet that I've wanted to buy for myself or for others for Christmas.
I'm going to wait another hour before heading to sleep.
Is woot selling large numbers of some items, or are sales just really, really slow? Cause I'm seeing a lot of items that are just hanging around for hours on multiple woot sites.
Nope, not yet....
I jumped on several items in the Sesame Street side sale for my son. I may get a Star Wars lunchbox for my daughter.
I have to confess: when I saw this question, my first thought was, "There's a woot-off going on?" Yeah... except for the uber-successful Pirate Crap, I haven't paid attention to woot-offs in months. :( [Or :) for my bank account, depending on your perspective!]
where do you get a jumbo coupon? i have bought something everyday for 4 weeks now!

Hi all,
Im just bought myself a new NN3 MKII. Have been waiting a long long time to get my hands on a panoramic head. I have a nikon D7000 with tokina 12-24mm. I know it is not a favorite lens but i like to keep a compact and lightweight kit when im travelling and don't want to bring too many lenses. I would mostly be using it for landscape panorama.
But i'm having trouble finding the NPP with the tokina 12-24. I find someone posted also for similar lens in size like the tokina 11-16mm and it is said i have to use a T adaptor.
Does anyone have the exact setting for using 12-24mm @ 12mm.
I'm considering getting the samyang 8mm lens if the tokina 12-24mm is a bit difficult to use with NN3 MKII. In case that happens can anyone help me with the settings for the samyang also?
I really appreciate all the help and info. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

GENESEO, N.Y. - More than 230 SUNY Geneseo student leaders from all areas of campus are on campus for the third annual Student Leadership Symposium Aug. 23-24, which is focusing this year on enjoying college life through a healthy lifestyle. The keynote speaker for the event, success speaker Dayna Steele, opened the symposium with an address titled "Find Your Inner Rock Star: Living a Healthy and Balanced Lifestyle."
Residence hall assistants, captains from athletic teams, student government officers and leaders from Greek and other organizations are among those participating in the symposium to kick off the academic year. Classes begin at Geneseo Aug. 27.
Steele is a nationally known business author, social media evangelist and a Hall of Fame radio personality. She has interviewed numerous rock stars to learn of their pathway to success and addressed Geneseo's student leaders on how to succeed using her "Rock Star Principles of Success." Watch Steele discuss her rock star principles.
"Dayna brought a high level of energy to our symposium and her message of finding your inner rock star resonated well with our student leaders," said Tom Matthews, associate dean of leadership and service at Geneseo. "Our student leaders all have specific leadership roles on campus and all are benefiting from the symposium conversations about the importance of a healthy lifestyle."
The student leaders also are attending Geneseo Opportunity for Leadership Development (GOLD) workshops, all focusing on a healthy lifestyle. GOLD programs are available to all Geneseo students throughout the year to complement their academic studies.
A key session during the symposium for the student leaders was bystander intervention training. Geneseo's award-winning Stand Up for One Another program has been recognized by a number of organizations within higher education. The program educates students on the dangers of substance abuse, empowers them to make right choices and to look out for each other's welfare.

Guillermo Cantor, the Senior Policy Analyst at the Immigration Policy Center, was published in Aging Today in an article titled, "Will Immigration Reform Address Our Need for Eldercare Workers?"
In it, Cantor writes:
"The implications of S. 744 are manifold. First, by offering a path to citizenship for undocumented workers currently living in the country, the bill would certainly help stabilize the direct care workforce, which would in turn improve the quality of care. In particular, as a 2011 report by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) has shown, once unauthorized care workers become legalized, they can legally drive, undergo enhanced background checks and access better opportunities for training and career advancement.
While the legalization of undocumented workers constitutes a significant step forward in strengthening the direct care workforce of current undocumented workers, the bill's implications for the future flow of immigrant care workers must also be considered. Several signs suggest that the new legal immigration system created by S. 744 falls short of providing a sustainable solution to the eldercare shortage."

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Threads operate in the common address space, so in-memory data structures can be shared without any restrictions (assuming, of course, that proper synchronization has been put in place). One can pass an address of an in memory data structure to another thread in order for the thread to be able to access that data structure.
Processes, on the other hand, operate in separate memory spaces, so they use one of several approaches:
Message Queue is another option. A process can write to the tail of a queue and another process can read from the head of that queue. Message queue's advantage is that it supports asynchronous operation.
Depending on the scope and type of an application, if what you need are command line applications you could use pipes by writing and reading from console, if you are writing an intranet application or standalone application and processes accessing data are parallel or on different machines you can use a database server.
If what you need is not complex you can use files or database systems that are integral part of the application like SQL lite, but here you would need to implement flagging so you don't corrupt data if both process try to write data.

I like to leave my guitars out, otherwise I don't play them. I have a couple of wall hangings and stands all over the place too. Will hanging a guitar from the wall damage it at all? Warp the neck? etc.
I doubt it. Every single music store I have ever been in hangs instruments from the headstock. If it caused damage I don't think use of them would be so widespread.
It won't warp the neck. The force of gravity on the neck is much less than the force asserted on the neck by those strings under tension.
I would still not advise long term storage of guitars by hanging them on the wall.
The safest place for your guitar is in its hard shell case.
While hanging on the wall your guitar is far more susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature. And these changes can definitely have an adverse effect on the wood your guitar is made from.
You can also experience finish issues with some nitrocellulose-based finishes when they're left in contact with rubber and foam, such as you might find covering the guitar hanger's hooks, for any period of time. It can discolour the finish and even rub it off the guitar with little effort.
And then there's the accident factor: a guitar hanging on the wall is far more likely to be bumped, banged, knocked, touched, dropped, sneezed on, puked over, drooled on, viewed by potential theives...you get the idea. It's just not wrapped in the layers of protective foam and plywood that a case provides.
It won't except for the effect of weather. But no matter what you do, don't let it lay flat on a surface without supporting the neck.
It'll do less damage than your kid running into the guitar on its floorstand and knocking it over, then falling on your precious instrument.
I'm doing it for many years now, without any problem... except the kids issue mentioned before of course :-)
Left mine in a stand that hung by the headstock when it transitioned to summer it caused a slight twist in the headstock. Gave the truss rod a small twist and it corrected some after a week in its case it's mostly back to where it used to be without any affect on tension and intonation. Be careful.

Two-Fisted Tales #25
During his adolescence, Jack Burton Davis' first work was published in the juvenile periodical Tip Top Comics. When he was in the Navy from 1945 to 1947, he cooperated on the Navy News, for which he created the character Boondocker. After the second World War, he attended the University of Georgia and cooperated on the campus magazine Bullsheet.
The Vault of Horror #30
In 1951, he joined EC Comics, after having finished his continued studies at the New York's Art Students League and having assisted artists like Ed Dodd and Mike Roy on respectively 'Mark Trail' and 'The Saint'.
Because Davis was quick and efficient, Feldstein and Kurtzman could always depend on him, making him the most versatile artist of the EC crew. Davis worked for all the EC horror comics, including Vault of Horror, Tales from the Crypt, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, Shock SuspenStories, and Incredible Science Fiction. When most of the EC titles folded in 1955 due to the Comics Code, Davis continued to work for the company's funny titles MAD and Panic.
Foul Play! (The Haunt of Fear #19)
Davis continued to do some comics work for Atlas Comics (1958-1963), as well as Playboy ('Little Annie Fanny' stories). But by this time, he mainly focused on illustrating bubble gum cards, movie posters and display advertising. He also worked as an illustrator for magazines like Cracked, Loco, Crazy and Panic.
He did covers and illustrations for TV Guide and Esquire and cooperated with Harvey Kurtzman on several works for Trump, Humbug and Help!. Davis continued to do some comics in the horror genre for the magazines of Warren Publishing in the 1970s. In 2000, the National Cartoonists' Society gave him the Rueben Award for Best Cartoonist of the Year. On 16 December 2014, at the age of 90, Jack Davis announced his retirement from drawing, because he "couldn't meet his own standards anymore".

- Honors and Scholars Programs
Accounting Scholars Program
Composite ACT score of at least 30 or a combined SAT score of at least 1330 (math and critical reading) and a cumulative high school GPA of 3.6, (weighted or unweighted), as reported on the student's high school transcript at the end of junior year.
Students interested in accounting have two main programs of study from which to choose: a 120 credit hour, four-year bachelor's degree or a five-year, 150 credit hour master of accounting degree. The latter, which includes one year of graduate-level coursework, fulfills the 150 credit hour requirement to sit for the Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) exam in most states.
To assist students in completing the 150 credit hour master of accounting degree, Saint Louis University offers an "integrated" accounting program that bridges the undergraduate and graduate levels of study for qualified students. Students in this integrated accounting program are permitted to take graduate-level coursework during their senior year and earn their bachelor's and master-level degrees concurrently at the program's completion.
In addition to providing a seamless course of study, this integration also permits students to maximize financial aid opportunities and apply available scholarships to advanced coursework.
Qualifying students indicating accounting as their program of study on the application for freshman admission will receive an invitation and additional information about the Accounting Scholars Program in the spring.
At the end of each year, Accounting Scholars must present a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 and complete select coursework and other activities as determined by the Accounting Department.
Accounting Scholars will be notified of their acceptance to Saint Louis University's Integrated Accounting Program upon completion of the program requirements during the spring semester of junior year. Accounting Scholars will not be required to take the GMAT exam, but must formally submit application materials to the Integrated Accounting Program to complete their admission.

In the book "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea", author Charles Seife claims that a dart thrown at the real number line would never hit a rational number. He doesn't say that it's only "unlikely" or that the probability approaches zero or anything like that. He says that it will never happen because the irrationals take up all the space on the number line and the rationals take up no space. This idea almost makes sense to me, but I can't wrap my head around why it should be impossible to get really lucky and hit, say, 0, dead on. Presumably we're talking about a magic super sharp dart that makes contact with the number line in exactly one point. Why couldn't that point be a rational? A point takes up no space, but it almost sounds like he's saying the points don't even exist somehow. Does anybody else buy this? I found one academic paper online which ridiculed the comment, but offered no explanation. Here's the original quote:
"How big are the rational numbers? They take up no space at all. It's a tough concept to swallow, but it's true. Even though there are rational numbers everywhere on the number line, they take up no space at all. If we were to throw a dart at the number line, it would never hit a rational number. Never. And though the rationals are tiny, the irrationals aren't, since we can't make a seating chart and cover them one by one; there will always be uncovered irrationals left over. Kronecker hated the irrationals, but they take up all the space in the number line. The infinity of the rationals is nothing more than a zero."

The Salvation Army and Consumers Energy to receive Joint Energy Award
Monday, June 27, 2011
The Salvation Army is proud to honor our local energy partners that make utilities affordable for community members in need. On Tuesday, June 28, we're recognizing Consumers Energy and Peoplecare at the National Energy & Utility Affordability Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for their outstanding work. Read the press release below (or visit www.sawmni.org) to learn how their collaboration has benefited thousands of households and individuals who need it most:
The Salvation Army and Consumers Energy to receive Joint Energy Award
Awards ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, June 28, 8:00 a.m. at the National Energy & Utility Affordability Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
GRAND RAPIDS, MI June 27, 2011 – After many years of significant collaboration between The Salvation Army and electric and gas utility companies across the nation, The Salvation Army will present an annual recognition award to outstanding examples of such collaborations which jointly manage a utility affordability program, acknowledging the importance of these programs which provide energy assistance to our most vulnerable citizens in times of great need.
The recipients of the inaugural certificates are Consumers Energy and PeopleCare, a joint utility affordability program of the Western Michigan and Northern Indiana and the Eastern Michigan Divisions of The Salvation Army. In 2010, Consumers Energy customers, employees and retirees contributed more than $842,000 to PeopleCare to assist more than 4,800 Michigan households. PeopleCare helps provide emergency aid for items such as groceries, clothing, prescriptions, rent or mortgage payments. In 2011, Consumers Energy plans to contribute $1.5 million in energy bill credits to help cover the cost of electricity and natural gas for those in need.
"Because the number of people needing assistance has grown due to Michigan's economy, we are providing an additional $1 million in Corporate Giving this year to The Salvation Army," said John Russell, president and chief executive officer of Consumers Energy. "The Salvation Army, which determines eligibility for bill credits and assistance and distributes the aid, will use the added funds to provide long-term case management assistance to help improve household and financial stability," Russell added.
"We are delighted to honor the work of both Consumers Energy and the PeopleCare program with this award," said National Social Services Secretary Major Betty A. Israel. "We are equally pleased that we have a wonderful opportunity to provide programs and services that directly assist our neighbors in need," Major Israel added.
Representatives of Consumers Energy and PeopleCare will be in attendance to receive the award from the National Social Services Secretary Major Betty A. Israel. The award will be presented at the National Fuel Fund Network Annual Meeting during the National Energy and Utility Affordability Conference, Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, June 28, 2011 at 8:00 a.m.
