Description of Incident:
A Pembroke Pines man died early Saturday morning after the dirt bike he was riding collided with another vehicle in western Broward.
Broward Sheriff's Office traffic homicide detectives said Adalberto Lugo Jr. was on a yellow Suzuki Dirt Bike headed west on Sheridan Street shortly before 1:40 a.m. when he approached the intersection of U.S. 27 and ran the red traffic light. Lugo traveled into the path of Steven Dougherty, who was traveling north on U.S. 27 in a purple 2006 Mazda 6.
Davie Fire Rescue paramedics pronounced Lugo dead at the scene. Dougherty remained at the scene and fully cooperated with detectives.
BSO investigators said the dirt bike was manufactured for off-road use only and had no working headlight at the time of the crash.

I am using the following command to scan for deleted files:
sudo ntfsundelete /dev/sda1 -S 400m-20g -p 100
How can I restore the all of the results?
I have tried:
sudo ntfsundelete /dev/sda1 -u 400m-20g -p 100 -d /mnt/bigboy/ntfs
You must specify exactly one device.
and also:
sudo ntfsundelete /dev/sda1 -u -i 44-6057 -p 100 -d /mnt/bigboy/ntfs
which seems to only recover the first file, and then outputs:
Couldn't create output file: File exists
I believe the latter is caused by the fact that for some reason I have lost all of the file nanes. (The drive was shut down immediately, so not sure how.)
Any help would be most appreciated.

On Ubuntu, I was able to connect to another server using "places". Is there anything like that in Mac OS X?
In Finder, choose Go > Connect To Server (command+K) and type in the URL or IP for the server (including the protocol if not afp).
The application I would call the most "PuTTY-like" in MacOSX is JellyFiSSH. OSX has a native terminal application, and you can go on ahead and use it for all command line work, but JellyFiSSH has a lot of nice helpers like saving "bookmarks" for connections, bookmark grouping, tunnel management, and more.
It does NOT, support auto-discovery. I don't know what Ubuntu's "Place" looks like, so I cannot distinctly comment. However, you emntion SSH, and you mention PuTTY, so I'm going to recommend JellyFiSSH. It's a great helper application to an otherwise daunting command line task.

The 5 Most Terrifying Side Effects of Exercise
#2. Swimming Can Kill You in Endless Creative Ways
We hinted earlier that if you're going to shit yourself while exercising, you might as well be in the water, where nobody would ever notice and the entire pool acts as your personal bidet. Plus, nothing bad ever happens to swimmers. Drowning? Surely a myth perpetrated by radical anti-transnatationists, right? No, swimming is perfect.
That is, unless you get brain amoebas.
Via Wikimedia Commons
May as well just spare the exercise and shit yourself now.
Now, this is not a problem for your local swimming pool. But what can beat the ocean -- or even a lake or pond -- for swimming? And once you advance to hard-core long-distance swimming like the swimming portion of a triathlon, you'll train in open water. Doing a mile in a 50-meter pool is repetitive and involves a lot of turning and stopping. Practicing out in a river or lake prepares you for the reality of not having a floor to stand on or an edge to grab and what to do when the inevitable tentacles wrap around your leg.
As long as it isn't too warm and the lake water too cold. There are nasties living in those depths, and not just alligator gars.
Via Clinton and Charles Robertson
Pictured: A thing that actually exists.
We speak of ancient horrors that have existed since before time, that lie dead and dreaming. And they'll infect and eat your brain. It's an amoeba called Naegleria fowleri, and it simply drifts into your nose and latches onto your olfactory nerve. Then onto your brain. It was thought to be exceptionally rare (with only a few hundred cases worldwide since it was discovered), and then all of a sudden in 2007, six people in the U.S. died from it. The amoeba needs warm water to live, and it's thought that its sudden growth is due to, you guessed it, global warming.
Well, that good news almost makes up for the pandas dying out!
Not that warm water is great for swimming anyway, despite how awesome it feels. For instance, let's talk about sweat again. You sweat while you swim, just as with any other activity, but it does nothing. It's the evaporation of your sweat that cools you under normal circumstances. That doesn't happen while you're in water, but usually that's OK, because water is a giant radiator -- the heat of your body simply washes away. Unless the water is too warm.
In which case not only is your sweating ineffective, the water isn't cooling you. We're not talking hot-tub hot, just warm. In fact, any water above 80 degrees is probably too dangerous to exercise in.
"I'm not moving from here on my doctor's advice."
#1. Your Junk Disappears
For you men out there, let's say you've decided to get even more manly by lifting heavy, manly objects and then placing them down again. Over and over, pumping those weights until your muscles fill with blood, your biceps swell, and you can see the visage of a young Schwarzenegger in your own face. After breaking a strong, manly sweat and staring at your sleek, chiseled form in the mirror, perhaps playing the tempo to the 1812 Overture with your pecs, you step into a manly shower to scrub the manly funk off your body. And it's in this shower that you discover you no longer have any balls. In fact, you've become a Ken doll.
Via Casey West
Fun Fact: Stripping dolls and taking pictures of them makes you feel like a serial killer.
Whether you're a runner, a cyclist, a swimmer or some parkour jackass testing the patience of gravity, you'll soon discover that extended bouts of sustained physical effort cause your genitals to shrink. And by shrink, we mean literally tuck up into your body. Thankfully, one's genitals return to normal within an hour or so. Though it probably seems like longer.
"I've just gone and bought throw pillows!"
As for the ladies, well, all you need to worry about is the female athlete triad, a condition that combines poor body image, eating disorders and menstrual irregularities. This particularly strikes women who engage in sports that reward lower-mass bodies -- like running, swimming and cycling, where less mass means less to move, which means greater performance.
The low body weight along with low caloric intake leads to brittle bones and amenorrhea, the loss of one's menstrual cycle for three or more months. Depending on the sport you participate in, you can expect a 3.6 percent to 66 percent chance of developing this, compared with the 2 percent to 5 percent chance experienced by the general public.
Though we suppose that being skinny, brittle and currently unable to become pregnant makes a woman the dream girl of the male douchebag. So you, uh, have that to look forward to.
All this exercise and emotional abuse really improves my self-esteem!

Dear Alumni,
The recent release of the Freeh Report marked one of the most sorrowful days in what has been without a doubt the most difficult chapter in our University's history. I am certain that many of you have read or heard about the report's findings, and you may have seen President Rodney Erickson's recent message on this topic. As the Chairman of the Board of Trustees since January of this year, I would like to also share my perspective on the Freeh report and our path forward as a Penn State family.
Clearly, no one has been hurt more than the victims of Mr. Sandusky's conduct and we must not lose sight of that fact. Additionally, as members of the University community, we all feel a personal sadness, disappointment and indeed, anger, over the failures of our leadership.
The Board of Trustees, as the group that has paramount accountability for overseeing and ensuring the proper functioning and governance of the University, accepts full responsibility for the failures cited in the Freeh Report. The Board, in cooperation with the Administration, will take every action to ensure that an event like this never happens again in our University community.
I want you to know that I see with great clarity that the future for this institution can be stronger than it has ever been before. Implementing the recommendations called for in the Freeh Report is one of the first steps we will take as we work to move forward. These recommendations include structural changes for the way the University is governed to ensure greater transparency and collaboration. President Erickson and I have appointed a special task force composed of both Board of Trustees members and senior members of his administration to ensure these recommendations are enacted with care and urgency, and positive changes have already begun to occur.
At the same time, progress will be about much more than responding to recommendations, but about evaluating the fundamental culture that is Penn State. As we move forward, we will work to rebuild a culture that will be shaped by the highest commitment to academics and athletics — but ultimately, a culture of transparency and accountability that will be defined by the actions of men and women, in all positions across the university, committed to always doing the right thing without fail.
Now more than ever, the Board of Trustees is open to hearing your thoughts and concerns, and can be reached at email@example.com. I also will continue to share updates with you via http://progress.psu.edu/ and http://www.psu.edu/trustees/.
Karen B. Peetz '77
Chairman, Penn State Board of Trustees

We have recently polled our company wide wiki users and found out that there are two large groups of users:
- people with lots of knowledge but (who claim they have) no time to document
- people with time but (who claim they have) not enough knowledge worth documenting
Each group covered almost 50% of the users!
How do your companies handle this? That is, how do you encourage your busiest / most knowledgeable people to share their knowledge?

Have any studies been done that demonstrate people (not game theorists) actually using mixed Nash equilibrium as their strategy in a game?
According to this(article about mixed equilibrium strategies), I think penalty kicks between two soccer teams use mixed Nash equilibrium strategies.
There have been lots of studies on this sort of thing, with different results. It depends a lot on cultural context. You might look at "A Beautiful Math" by Tom Siegfried
My preliminary research backs up my intuition: it depends. Specifically, it depends on whether there is sufficient common knowledge to foster a gradient-like movement to mixed-equilibria.

Jennifer Livingston, a television news anchor on WKBT-TV in Lacrosse, Wisc., received an email critical of her appearance and questioning her ability to serve as a "suitable example for young people, and girls in particular."
Her response is worth watching, in which she says that "attacks like this are not okay." http://www.upworthy.com/bully-calls-news-anchor-fat-news-anchor-destroys-him-on-live-tv?c=upw1
Livingston has these words for adults: "Bullying behavior is learned. We need to teach our kids to be kind, not critical, and we need to do that by example."
And this advice for young people who are being bullying: "Do not your let your self worth be defined by bullies. Learn from my experience that the cruel words of one are nothing, compared to the shouts of many."

I just purchased a new cast iron skillet. What's the best way to season it?
And if I need to re-season an old pan, is the process any different?
I just purchased a new cast iron skillet. What's the best way to season it?
And if I need to re-season an old pan, is the process any different?
First, there is no difference between seasoning and reseasoning, unless you need to do some extra work to remove rust (see instructions below). In fact, for new cast iron, scouring is also usually a good idea since you need to get off whatever wax or protective oil the manufacturer or seller may have put onto the cookware. (They don't use cooking oil for that sort of thing, believe me.)
To keep the seasoning happy:
Another trick sometimes used to season Chinese woks: rub Chinese chives over the surface of the cookware when the oil is being heated (this works best on a stovetop, not in the oven). The juice of the chive has sulfur compounds that help remove remaining flavor from the previous coating of the cookware. Be aware that this technique really kicks up a lot of steam and smoke. I've never tried it on cast iron skillets, but I'd be curious if anyone out there has.
See this excellent article about the chemistry of seasoning. You want flaxseed oil (which incidentally has a low smoke point) but a high iodine value, allowing it to polymerize readily.
I read so many blogs about oil "impregnating the cast iron," but this doesn't make any sense chemically. What happens is that the oil polymerizes, and you want an oil that does that really well.
Personally I just re-season it by cleaning it well, covering the cooking surface in a frying oil and heating it until it just starts to smoke. This has always worked extremely well for me, and has the advantage of being quick if you need to actually use the thing right away!
The more important part may be how not to unseason the pan. You can never, ever, clean it with soap. Or scrape it with brillo. Just warm/hot water and cloth.
Seasoning is literally "greasing" the pan. And soap is the enemy of grease. Good when washing your hands. Bad when cleaning cast-iron.
This creates a bit of a catch-22 since a poorly seasoned pan will require heavy cleaning. But once you do it right, it will last for months as long as you don't undo the seasoning with soap or scraping.
Heat your oven to around 350F. Coat the pan with some sort of fat (vegetable oil works well), bake for at least an hour, and wipe. You're done!
Re-seasoning is similar to seasoning, as you say. To reduce the need for re-seasoning, make sure you're only cleaning with hot water (and possibly salt).
From the excellent Mike Saxon over at Chef's Tales:
As long as you don't use soap or scouring pads on a (seasoned) cast-iron skillet, you should practically never need to re-season it. Just dry it thoroughly and rub on a little vegetable oil after you clean it and before you put it away.
Chris's answer is the right one for initial seasoning: Just "bake" the skillet coated in oil. Most cast iron cookware comes with directions regarding temperature and time, and there are minor differences between brands, but 350° F for 1 hour is a good rule of thumb.
This doesn't directly answer your question about a full re-seasoning, but is related to seasoning.
When cooking with cast iron, I find it easiest to clean the pan immediately, while it's still very hot, with very hot water (our tap gets hot enough to scald if you're not careful).
Then, I thoroughly dry it with a towel, then a paper towel (to get what the towel may have missed).
Then I immediately oil it (I use grapeseed because of its cost compared to its smoke point, but have used bacon grease, olive oil, or whatever else is around) and put it back on the hot burner.
Using this method, I haven't had to re-season my cast iron pans yet.
One tip to use on a cast-iron that is severely encrusted or has burnt sugar residue is to burn it off. I have done this twice with great success. In one case we made a large hot charcoal fire in an outdoor BBQ grill and buried the pan in the coals. The other was done similarly in a fireplace hearth making sure that the inside and the outside were both in contact with hot coals as much as possible. After letting the fire burn out, and LETTING THE PAN COOL!!, it was necessary to remove a small amount of residue with sandpaper and/or wire brush. The pan is now in brand new condition except that it will look very rusty and will continue to rust unless you treat it immediately. First scour it with a stainless steel pad and some kind of oil (I actually prefer mineral oil for this step) to remove the rust. Wipe it thoroughly with old cloth towels and then proceed to season by one of the methods detailed above. I prefer to do this several times before cooking with the pan. I have always used a solid vegetable shortening for seasoning with good results.

This was a very informative lecture. I'm currently employed at a college and we do not have the funds to send anyone for CEU. Without these online lectures I could not keep abreast of trends and additional information in the IT world. I was a bit surprised that this course is level 300-advanced. I expect my students to understand this the first year…nice job.

1952 Chevy Pickup - Fantasy '52 Came TrueWritten by on November 1, 2005 Kim & Mel Post's Fantasy '52 Chevy Pro Street Pickup
Unlike journalists in the real world reporting the bad news, we most often document the success stories in the hot rod hauler hobby. Even if a vintage truck has languished for a time with one owner and didn't get finished, there's a great chance someone down the road's going to complete it. One man's woeful pickup is another's show-winning ride. All the pain, money, effort, time, and frustration are somehow worth it when your hauler is in its first event. Consider Kim and Mel Post's 5-year pickup project. In the 12 shows they've entered with their truck they call Fantasy '52, they've won 11 Best of Shows and came in Second on the other occasion. If that's not an endorsement for persevering, we don't know what is.
Shortly after Mel and son were done building a '52 Chevy 3100, said son decided he'd prefer a different pickup project. So Mel took over the '52 and began taking it apart. He had a fantasy to fulfill-a Pro Street beast whose blown big-block would make at least 1,000 hp. After sourcing an '85 454ci Rat engine, Mel sent it to Gene Scott and demanded the 1,000-plus. Deriving 468 cubes, Gene bored the block .060-over and went to town with the best go-fast goodies. A COMP Cams bumpstick with 286/296 degrees of duration, a steel crankshaft, JE forged 8.5:1 compression pistons, a Pete Jackson gear drive, Manley rods, Crane roller rockers, a CSR electric water pump, Power Master torque mini starter and MSD 6AL ignition box all contributed in the hopes of making the lofty power goal. Mel mated a Holley 420 Mega Blower (8-71) with two Holley 900-cfm double-pumper carbs and a shotgun air cleaner. Backed by an 11-inch Zoom diaphram clutch and '69 Borg Warner T-10, the drivetrain was built parallel to the construction of the Pro Street chassis. Mel and Russ Engman created the undercarriage by boxing 3 feet of the existing framerails and fabricating the rest. Modified with Engman custom tubular A-arms, an AMC Pacer IFS, complete with '03 GM vented disc brakes and Firestone airbags, formed the front suspension. Comprised of '03 GM drilled rotors, 32-spline axles, and a 4.56:1 geared Detroit Locker Posi, the narrowed Ford 9-inch differential was located with ladder bars and coilover shocks. Braided stainless steel brake lines and hard stainless fuel lines plumbed the chassis. Once the engine/trans were installed, Drivetrain Specialist supplied a balanced, heavy-wall driveshaft to complete the powertrain. Upon mock-up of the undercarriage, Mel disassembled the chassis so that Steve Merrill of Steve's Paint-N-Body in Muskogee, Oklahoma, could paint the frame PPG Violet.
While the rolling chassis was approaching ready, Mike Stafford of Springfield, Missouri, modified the firewall, hood, doors, bed, and fenders. He molded in a fiberglass front roll pan and created a steel rear roll pan. Shaving all the door handles and trim and final paint prep occurred before he and Larry Williams applied a PPG custom mix called Mel's Yellow, beneath yellow flames and purple skulls.
Mike's brother Ron trimmed the Steel Horse bucket seats in Pure White Ultraleather, in addition to the rest of the cab. By creating a custom wiring harness and routing the wires in a stainless steel conduit, Anthony Dawson wired the truck.
Thanks to the efforts of Kim and Kirk McMahan, Rex Snider, Russ Engman, Gene Scott, and Mike and Ron Stafford, Mel's Fantasy '52 became a reality, after 5 years of hard work. Though Mel's happy to earn awards at various shows, he's proudest of the engine dyno numbers that the 468ci blown big-block produced: 1,040 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque. The next time you're in the southeast, look for the Posts' brilliantly executed Chevy Pro Street. We bet you'll hear it before you see it!

From stainless steel tubing, with 2.5-inch- diameter primaries and 5-inch diameter collectors, Russ Engman fabricated the fabulous custom headers. The owner had the headers ceramic-coated inside and out. Notice also the NOS setup, that provides a 250hp increase to the supercharged 468ci Chevy engine.Equipped with purple Crow competition drag racing five-point harnesses, the Steel Horse bucket seats were reupholstered in Pure White Ultraleather. Being a Pro Street-capable vehicle, the cab also has a full rollcage. The center console includes a NOS bottle.Airbags, a custom suspension system front and rear, and extensive custom fabrication of the framerails enabled Fantasy '52 to imbue a most righteous Pro Street stance. If you think you and your hot rod hauler have the horsepower to go up against Mel's '52 Fantasy, you might be pushing up the daisies. LED taillights, also from RB's Obsolete, keep motorists from following too close.An Auto Loc linear actuator raises and lowers the Checkmate tonneau, not the Mike Stafford and Larry Williams painted scary skull dude on the underside.
Rebuilt original instruments fill the stock openings in the steel dash. In keeping with the ghoulish theme of the hauler, a B.A.D. Hellfire steering wheel is attached to a Billet Accessories steering column. To top the '69 Borg Warner manual trans, a Hurst four-speed shifter was wisely selected.The Billet Accessories 3D wheels in the rear, 15x14 inches wide, have Hoosier Pro Street meats, in the 31x16.5-inch size.

False alarms are costing Bowling Green taxpayers more than $100,000 a year. Bowling Green's Police Department has answered more than 3,200 false alarm calls this year, and 14.5-percent of all BG Fire Department runs are due to false alarms.
Police and fire officials say false alarm calls put their officers and firefighters out of position in case there is an actual emergency, which poses a public safety risk in a business where time is always of the essence.
To stem the tide of false alarms, the city passed an ordinance in 1997 to charge repeat offenders. Businesses are allowed three free false alarm responses. On the fourth time, the company is charged $25, $50 for the fifth, $75 for the sixth, and $100 for the seventh false alarm response and beyond. Businesses are not charged if the false alarm is found to have been triggered by forces beyond their control (i.e. weather, etc).
City officials say they have seen a slight decrease in the number of false alarms since the ordinance was passed, but say a lack of attentiveness by employees is still the primary cause of most false alarm calls.

"Industrial hemp is an agricultural crop just like corn and soybeans. It should be legal, and the United States should have legalized it a decade ago."
The crop once flourished in Kentucky until it was banned decades ago when the federal government classified it as a controlled substance related to marijuana.
Despite numerous failed attempts to legalize industrial hemp in Kentucky, Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer vows to continue his campaign.
Comer spoke about his efforts to re-establish industrial hemp as a legal crop.
"Industrial hemp is an agricultural crop just like corn and soybeans. It should be legal, and the United States should have legalized it a decade ago," says Comer.
Over 30 countries produce industrial hemp and hemp products can be legally sold in the United States but the hemp must be imported from other countries. Comer believes the crop could be an economic boon for Kentucky.
"If we can have more food processors and more company's that manufacture agricultural products like industrial hemp in small towns that will help create jobs in those small towns and make them more self sustainable."
He adds it could lead to manufacturing jobs that produce products ranging from paper to cosmetics.
"Toyota uses a hemp like fiber in the manufacturing in the interior parts for their vehicles here in Kentucky, that hemp like fiber comes from Indonesia, that should be coming from Kentucky farmers."
The bill is largely unpopular with law enforcement, who says hemp could be used to camouflage marijuana, which has similar looking leaves but far less potency.
"Marijuana and hemp is like broccoli and cauliflower. They're in the same plant family but they're very different plants. They don't look that much alike and they don't taste the same. They're different plants. I am against marijuana. I am not for legalizing marijuana," says Comer.
He says some were skeptical on his recent trip to Washington but he remains optimistic, and will continue educating others about the crop and it's benefits.
"We've come along way in a short period of time and I think industrial hemp will be a reality in the very near future and hopefully Kentucky can be the leading state in that," says Comer.
In the Farm Bill there was an amendment to allow for the production of industrial hemp that was recently passed, although the entire Farm Bill failed Comer says they will start over and re-introduce the bill in the future.
Even though it may still be more than a year away we asked the commissioner if he had any plans to run in the 2015 Gubernatorial Race in Kentucky.
While he didn't give us a yes or no answer he didn't rule out the possibility, and says it's an honor to be considered a potential candidate.
"It's something that we're looking at but right now I'm focused on being AG Commissioner. I love being Commissioner of Agriculture. I love Kentucky. I was a state rep. for 11 years so I know a lot about the issues and challenges our state faces, but right now were focused on trying to grow our agriculture economy in Kentucky."
Comer adds he believes its a good year too early to be announcing any plans for the Gubernatorial Race by any candidate democrat or republican.

I'm studying Markov Processes in Rick Durrett - Probability: Theory and Examples and he's doing something I simply don't understand, though I reckon it's probably quite simple. Here goes (an example from introducing conditional expectations):
Given a probability space $\left(\Omega,\mathcal{F}_{0},P\right)$ a $\sigma\text{-field}\,\mathcal{F}\subset\mathcal{F}_{0}$ and a random variable $X\in\mathcal{F}_{0}$...
What does it mean for $X\in\mathcal{F}_{0}$? I mean, the image of X has to be Borel, right? It belonging to a $\sigma$-algebra in our probability space doesn't make sense to me.
Hope someone will help, Henrik
p.s. Wow the math on this site works good!

Disciplinary Techniques That Work for Toddlers and Preschoolers
In This Article:
Set Clear Verbal Limits
Obviously, it's not okay for Helen to push Mira off the swing. You set limits with your voice, "Helen, you may not push Mira. We are gentle with our friends. I'd like you to come down now." Even when kids are very verbal and understand what you are saying (and why), they may not have self-control, and they may not be capable of stopping themselves or obeying your requests. It's important to set the limits verbally, even when your child is too young to fully understand you. You're teaching your child that your family uses words to settle problems.
Set Physical Limits
Because it is rare with little kids that words are enough, follow up verbal limits with physical limits (and do it before you get angry, so there's no punitive quality to it). A physical limit is imposed when you stop a child from drawing on the wall with both your words—"No Padma, we don't draw on walls. I'm going to take you into the bathroom, now, and then we'll both clean it up"—and your actions.
Hitting them, beating them, and chaining them to the wall—we've already established that these are not options with your kids. (Actually, I shouldn't joke about this. For some people, it's not so self-evident.) Kids don't always listen, and their bodies sometimes need help stopping dangerous activity. If your two-year-old is running into traffic, saying, "Pookie, that's not such a great idea," is not such a great idea. Pick up your child!
Physical limits—like removing the pen from Padma's hand-are different from physical disciplinary techniques (like slapping the pen from her hand). Physical disciplinary techniques are not okay with one exception: Sometimes little kids need to be physically restrained. Physical restraint is like a very strong hug, and, without hurting a child, simply restrains her until she can calm down.
Behave Yourself!
Allowing natural consequences to teach your child is only appropriate when it is safe, and the consequences aren't too severe or long lasting. Letting kids walk on cliffs to learn what happens when they fall (yes, it's a natural consequence) is absurd. But so is letting a two-year-old play with a champagne glass. Yes, she'll learn that glass breaks, but oh, the possible ramifications.
Provide Choices
Choices are a part of daily life with toddlers ("Do you want to wear the red sweater or the blue one?") and they are an essential part of teaching them discipline. Giving a kid choices ("Will you stop throwing sand or should I help you stop?") teaches her that she's entitled to opinions, and that she has some say in her own life. It shows her respect, and it demonstrates your trust. Remember that kids may not always be able to choose from the choices you've given them. Here's the thing: No matter whether or not they can, you need to give them options. The more experience they have with making choices at a young age (especially when under stress), the better they'll do when they're teenagers faced with larger, more life-threatening choices (like, "He's really cute, and so are his friends. If I have a few drinks with him, he's really gonna like me even more.").
Natural Consequences
Little kids are rarely logical enough to understand logical consequences, so the best approach is to allow, and point out, natural consequences. "You hit Davey, now Davey is sad and crying, and he doesn't want to play with you anymore today." "You threw your cereal on the floor, now it is all gone."

Linda Hurt has worked for Big D's Auto Sales for 15 years, and couldn't believe the damage caused by the storm on May 19.
Hurt says "It was a disaster; there was water everywhere, the ceiling's about to go in, I don't know, it's a mess."
As employees arrived at work to assess the damage, they saw there's a new addition to the family, a lost puppy.
Hurt says: "We've got a cute little dog, I don't know where he's from, but he must have come in with the storm because he's with us."
While employees were taking the damage in; there was help from the National Weather Service to figure out exactly what happened.
Kelly Hooper, with the National Weather Service, says: "What we're trying to do is assess the wind speed that it would take to do such a thing. I'm getting over 70 mile per hour winds, it had to be to do this damage."
The damage included damage to two buildings and Hooper says the damage, along with spotter reports, leads him to believe the business was hit by a tornado.
Hooper says: "The debris path is very confined, a lot of times with a downburst or straight line winds, there will be wide-spread damage, you'll find trees down across half the county all going in the same direction or from a center point."
Hooper says in this case the damage path was only 100 yards wide and he believes the winds were over 70 miles an hour.
As for Hurt, she says she's relieved nobody was injured and now all she wants to do is get back to work.
As for the lost puppy, the employees of Big D's say he's going to be a permanent fixture around the business, until his owner is found.

After being referenced by the Harvard Law Review last year, Jesse Weins's article on Supreme Court decision-making was recently cited by the Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was also cited in 2010 by a federal court in the National Day of Prayer case.
The Wisconsin case, State v. Deadwiller, reviewed the parameters of submitting report evidence in a rape case, which concerns the constitutional right to cross-examine witnesses being called against the defendant.
"In 2012, in Williams v. Illinois, the U.S. Supreme Court had to decide whether in rape cases the state must produce the actual forensic report writer, or just any forensic expert that could describe the report submitted by the prosecution. It held that any forensic expert will do, and this doesn't violate the defendant's rights even though the defendant cannot cross-examine the person who wrote the report," he said.
The Harvard Law Review, in its annual review of each year's Supreme Court cases, cited Weins's article in a footnote, since the Supreme Court in Williams was not a clear majority and the issue of its precedent came up.
Meanwhile, the state of Wisconsin was holding off in cases on this issue until the Supreme Court's Williams decision, so that they would know how to rule on the constitutional issue. State courts apply Supreme Court precedent to their own cases on this issue, since defendants' rights during trials are often matters of federal constitutional law.
"The Wisconsin Supreme Court, therefore, ruled on that issue in its own state case this July. It followed the Supreme Court's rule in Williams, that any forensic expert will suffice," Weins said. "But because the Williams Supreme Court decision was fraught with different views among the Court, the Wisconsin Supreme Court likewise was trying to determine a precedent from the Williams case to apply in its own."
The Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court cited Weins's article for background on that question.

6 Old Photos of Kids Who Are Way Tougher Than Modern Adults
What's the most badass picture of you as a kid? Maybe that time you pretended to lift a truck that was having a tire changed. Or that other time your family ran into Mike Tyson on vacation and you pretended to knock him out. Both these instances ended in tears. But, more to the point, the keyword in all these photos is "pretended" -- something that the kids from before the invention of color photography didn't need to do to look like total badasses, as the following pictures prove.
Pop culture has taught us that "newsies" were charming fellows who happily yelled out headlines from street corners and burst into song and dance at the drop of a hat. It turns out that they were less like young Christian Bale's character in Newsies and more like adult Christian Bale's character in, well, everything else.
The reality is that children selling newspapers at the turn of the 20th century were tough little bastards -- they had to be, since they were often homeless, and selling papers was the only way they made enough money to eat. Newsies paid the newspaper distributors out of their own pockets and then resold the papers to make a whopping 26 cents a day. Still, 26 cents' worth of gruel and stale bread was way better than 0 cents' worth of starvation, so when a newspaper boy found a profitable corner, he fought off his rivals to hold it (presumably the newspaper strings doubled as whips).
Library of Congress
Most papers were bought out of sheer terror.
Also, it was common for the kids to work late hours, and some literally slept on their newspapers. The one thing the Disney musical got right is that newsies did go on strike on 1899 when the two major New York papers raised distribution prices, but there was far less singing and dancing in the streets than we were told. In fact, we've mentioned before how this group of half-starved homeless kids and their eye-patch-wearing leader, Kid Blink, took on Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst and won, bringing the entire city to a standstill in the process.

#5. World War II High School Girls Learned to Sharpshoot
What the hell, why did no one tell us there was a 1940s version of Red Dawn? That's not a movie still: It's an actual picture from back when "learning how to shoot down Nazis with a rifle" was seriously part of the school curriculum. And no, we don't mean pixelated Wolfenstein 3D Nazis like the ones you spent hours killing in high school -- we mean actual flesh and bone ones.
The Shoot-Hitler-in-the-Goddamn-Face team was a popular after-school activity.
You see, during World War II, the U.S. government didn't want a buncha flabby teens growing into flabby adults and joining up to fight Hitler, so in 1942 they established the Victory Corps in high schools around the country. Kids who joined the Victory Corps took a physical fitness class and volunteered in a wartime activity like collecting scrap metal (which the government pretended was to make tanks or whatever) or being instructed in how to save lives ... and how to end them. More specifically, with shooting.
Library of Congress
The hall monitor who walked around that corner never stopped shitting himself.
Yep, when they weren't doing jumping jacks and collecting tin foil, Victory Corps teens took a "war effort" class, like first aid or sharpshooting, which led to awesome clubs like the Roosevelt High Girls' Rifle Team. And, really, if you were a high school girl, what would you rather do: take a class in putting on bandages, or wield an M1903 Springfield? The latter, obvs.

#4. British Children Went to Sea at Age 11
Aww, look at those little urchins playing with a floater by the beach, not a care in the world. Actually, they're not playing, and that's not anywhere near the beach: That's the middle of the fucking ocean. Those kids are taking part in a real navy-style exercise on one of the United Kingdom's children-only training ships. Flunking a test for these kids could seriously mean drowning, and even if they survived and graduated, it was off to war for many of them.
On the other hand, this is far cooler than our sixth grade class photo.
The training ships were created back in 1756 when England was about to throw down with France and merchant Jonas Hanway was worried that the navy would appropriate his seagoing crews for the war effort. His solution? Take poor kids, stick 'em on ships to train 'em up, and then send them off to fight in the Royal Navy while Hanway's sailors stayed on his commercial ships and continued to make him that sweet, sweet cash.
The kids started on the ships when they were around 11 years old and stayed until they graduated at 15 or 16. It actually wasn't a bad deal for them, since it got them out of the orphanages and poorhouses and taught them a trade they could use as adults ... that is, assuming they didn't drown. Yeah, being poor city kids, a whole lot of them never learned how to swim. But, hey, that's why they called it a training ship, right?

It was the perfect vacation for one Carteret family. A picture of Darrell York and his two sons, 10 year old Devon and five year old Cole shows the family indulging in fun while riding a carousel. That picture was taken a few days before the family vacation turned tragic.
Donas York said on Friday she got a call that her grandson had been in a bad accident.
Cole had been seriously injured while riding in between his parent on an atv in the Tennessee mountains.
"It started to flip and my son just pushed the four wheeler away, so it would not fall on them," Donas said.
Darrell and his wife Paula were ok, Cole hit his head on a rock
Donas says Cole has multiple skull fractures, one above his ear another going towards the back of his head.
"he said, am I going to die? That's the hardest things for a grandmother or for a son, for my son or any of us to hear," said Donas.
The family's church, White Oak Church of God in Bouge united in love on Sunday to pray for a miracle. Both Parents are ministers at the church.
"I talked to my son, I even spoke to Cole. Cole told me, nana I love you and he says i'm hurting," said Donas.
Early Sunday morning Cole was rushed to Duke Medical Center for a possible eye surgery. So far he's had one to re-attach his ear.
Donas says Cole is a brave little boy she says she has faith, that everything will be ok.
I'm relying on my friends, my family, and my God to supply and make the needs met for this little boy to make a total recovery from this incident. That happy little boy is in there we just gotta find him again.

21 Employees in Belmont County DJFS Office Face Layoff
Losing a job around this time of the year and during this period of economic uncertainty can cause profound heartache with the approach of Christmas and New Year's Day – the most festive period of the year for many.
But 21 employees of the Belmont County Department of Jobs & Family Services face that gloomy prospect as a result of cuts in operational funds. "We have lost 57 percent of our operating budget in the past five years," DJFS director Dwayne Pielech declared.
As a result of the funding cuts, Pielech submitted a reorganizational plan for the DJFS staff to the Belmont County commissioners last week, which included the layoffs of 21 employees in the public assistance area. Pielech said the layoffs will include management personnel as well as the regular workforce.
Pielech said once the reorganizational plan is approved by the commissioners, a 10-day grace period follows before he sends out letters to the 21 employees notifying them of their layoffs. The 21 employees with the lowest seniority will be the first to go.
He indicated there is a possibility that others may be affected.
Pielech said he has met with and explained the employment situation with the union representatives. In all likelihood the layoffs will not become effective before the Christmas holiday but should occur soon thereafter. All of the employees were notified of the impending layoff last week. "They had to know there will be a layoff coming," Pielech declared. He reasoned some of them may be planning on extensive purchases for the Christmas holiday and the layoff may force them to alter their plans.
The layoff could have affected more than just the 21 employees. "It would have been larger but we were able to reshuffle some funds and prevented it," Pielech noted. He estimated that action may have saved four positions in the office.
"In 2006 we had 160 employees in our office," Pielech explained. "Today we have 115." The latter figure does not include the layoffs that will develop in the next couple of weeks. He also noted that in 2006 the office operated on a $10.3 million annual budget. But this year "our operating budget is down to $4.5 million." And he added there is a likelihood of more funding cuts in the near future.
A preliminary step for one of the major changes in the official Belmont County family as a result of the November general election will be taken Monday when the county's Public Defender Commission meets to begin the process of selecting replacement for Eric Costine as the office manager.
When the new year dawns Costine will assume his new duties as judge of Belmont County Western Division Court, succeeding veteran Judge Harry W. White.
Although he is submitting his resignation tomorrow, Costine plans to remain on the defender's staff until the end of the month. "I feel it is my duty and obligation to stay on until the end of the year and not let the heavy case load to be handled by my two associates," Costine asserted. Also on the public defender staff are attorneys David Trouten and Frank Pierce.
Costine has been associated with the public defender's office for 20 years, the last four years as manager. While committing himself to completing the final month as a public defender, Costine admitted "I'm looking forward to my new role" and the challenge of filling the shoes of Judge White, for whom he had high praise.
"Harry has been my role model," Costine declared. "He was very dedicated and he took his job very seriously. I hope to continue the fine job he has done." Judge White has been on the Western Division Court bench for 33 years.
With regard to the general election which saw him come out on top in a race that included six prominent Belmont County attorneys, Costine declared, "I feel very fortunate to have been selected out of those six candidates. Obviously I did not get 50 percent of the voter turnout, so I want to prove myself to those who voted for one of the other candidates that I can do the job." He polled 26 percent of the vote and the closest challenger received 21 percent.
He had praise for all of the others in the race, noting that all of them were outstanding candidates qualified to assume the judicial seat. "That's why I want to prove myself and I feel I will prove myself. I know the court system inside and out from all the years I have spent there."
His intention, he added, is to continue the "fairness and truth" that was so well demonstrated by Judge White.
While serving in his judicial role, Costine will continue his law practice with his father, John O. Costine. "Of course, I won't be able to be the defense in any criminal cases," he noted. The Costine law firm is one of the oldest in the county having been started in 1920 by his grandfather, John E. Costine.
Friday was the deadline for resumes to be presented by those seeking to move into the public defender manager's seat. The five-member commission considering the applicants includes township trustees Greg Bizzarri and Ed Good, attorneys Jack Kigerl and Kevin Stryker and Ohio University Eastern Professor Michael McTeague.
It was with sadness that I learned of the passing of kindly Bill "Red" Doleski of Lansing, an old friend and a man whose name appeared in this column many times for recognition not only of his gardening achievements but also his constant endeavor to get community improvements. He went to great lengths every year to earn the distinction of producing the first ripe tomato and for years he pressed state and county officials for road and sidewalk improvements.
About two weeks ago I visited him in East Ohio Regional Hospital and he was excited talking about how he would be planting his garden next spring. His passing leaves a void but I'm sure by now he's educating his heavenly hosts on how and when to plant tomatoes to ensure producing that first red one.
Fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to have a chance to get their minds off the hot football season and get acquainted with some of last year's players, including outfielder Andrew McCutcheon.
The Pirates winter caravan will be coming to the Ohio Valley Mall on Dec. 13 to meet and greet Pirate fans. Heading the delegation will be McCutcheon, who led the Pirates in virtually every hitting category last season and was third in balloting for the league's most valuable player honor. Joining him will be pitchers Jared Hughes and Justin Wilson, Pirate broadcaster Greg Brown and bench coach Jeff Banister.
The group will be at the mall from 6:30-8 p.m.to meet and greet fans and sign autographs.
With the arrival of December, Belmont County Engineer Fred Bennett is reshuffling his staff to prepare for the winter season and the onset of snow. Hopefully his winter crew won't have too much snow and icy roads to contend with.
Starting on Dec. 12 an afternoon work shift will be started. "We will have three men and one supervisor working from 3:30 p.m. to midnight, five days a week." Bennett added that schedule will last for 12 weeks with the crew rotating every two weeks.
Bennett made note of the fact that the county has enough salt left over from last year's mild winter that may last until this mid-winter.
"It would be fine with me," he added, "if we keep it until next winter."

CENTERVILLE (October 29, 2012)--A Waco woman who died early Sunday morning in a one-vehicle crash on State Highway 7 just west of Centerville was driving a stolen car, the Department of Public Safety said Monday.
Roxane Lachell Dooley, 33, was driving the 2004 Nissan eastbound on Highway 7 about five miles west of Centerville when she lost control of the car, which drifted from the roadway and struck a tree.
Leon County Justice of the Peace Jack Keeling pronounced Dooley dead at the scene at around 3 a.m. Sunday.
Troopers investigating the deadly accident found an address on an ID card inside the wrecked car, but when authorities went to the home, the woman living there told them the vehicle had been stolen Saturday night, DPS Trooper D.L. Wilson said Monday.
Wilson said troopers at the scene of the crash investigated further and were able to use items they found there to identify the driver as Dooley.
Wilson said the Nissan was reported stolen late Saturday night from a home in Marlin, but there's no indication who may have taken it.
DPS reports show Dooley lived in the 300 block of Barbara Street in Waco and was employed as a telemarketer.

Which way of additionally feeding
/dev/random entropy pool would you suggest for producing random passwords? Or, is there maybe a better way to locally create fully random passwords?
Which way of additionally feeding
You can feed it with white noise from your sound chip, if present. See this article: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/entropy.txt
You should use
So you want to use
Now you may want to worry about entropy if you are writing the Linux installer. The trick is that
The operating system itself, and more precisely the kernel, is at the right place to gather entropy from hardware event, since it handles the hardware. So there is relatively little that you can use for entropy that the kernel does not already use. One of those remaining sources is Webcam data: a webcam, even facing a blank wall, will output data with thermal noise, and since it outputs lots of data, it is a good entropy gatherer. So just grab a few frames from the webcam, hash them with a secure hash function (SHA-256), and write that into
I know of audio entropy daemon and havege which is used by haveged daemon, try them out.
1) You don't need to add any more entropy to /dev/random, to use it for passwords. The system already does that for you.
2) To generate a random password, it's better to use /dev/urandom, not /dev/random. (/dev/random has some issues: it blocks, it depletes the entropy pool in a way that may cause other users of /dev/random to block. /dev/urandom is the better general-purpose interface.)
3) Here's a simple script I use to generate a random password. You're welcome to use it.
The best value I've seen in a HW randomness device is the simtec entropy key.
I use a combination of data sources and a good hashing algorithm to generate random data.
On a web-server you can combine server data (HW, SW, performance), client data (user-agent, request-time, cookie, URL variables, whatever you can gather), some external data (like random.org), mix everything with let say sha1(mixed_data + time + some_secret_key) and you get fairly unpredictable bits of random data.
You could also consider using P2PEG to easily collect entropy from clients and server.
Passwords, if they are short, are always crackable by brute force if the speed or count of tries is not limited. If, on the other hand, tries are limited (eg. interactive login), even a small amount of entropy basically uncrackable - the amount of tries required becomes prohibitive really soon.
So, there should be no cases where getting really good entropy for passwords would matter.
So just use /dev/urandom, it's more than good enough.
The other answers given here are good comments on how to keep your /dev/random supplied with enough entropy, though, if you need it.
GUChaos.c retrieves random numbers from random.org, and changes them on-the-fly through a substitution cipher before feeding
It is weird to see a bunch of recommendation to use /dev/urandom instead of using /dev/random cause when /dev/random depletes then /dev/urandom uses the last entropy repeatedly what is strongly unsecure for long term critical parameters.

Many thanks to nick fan awesome product and for his help and assurance that a solution for my issue will be available soon in the store!
In the interim, I thought I would see if anyone else who was using an RRS "L" bracket had come up with a temp fix to this (upper arm camera clamp rotates).
I have both the Markins and RRS clamps but both spin even with the rubber insert.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Reducing income and sales taxes requires Kansas legislators to have faith that the cuts will stimulate economic growth as advertised, as even the most solid projections involve some guesswork.
A disagreement last week between the Legislature's nonpartisan staff and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback's administration over those projections obscured a reality in state government _ that forecasting state revenues and spending is difficult and even foolhardy.
In pushing lawmakers to cut income taxes, Brownback has argued that the expected increase in economic activity and hiring by private companies also will benefit the state treasury. Many members of the Republican-controlled Legislature agree.
But even positive forecasts, ones without budget shortfalls into 2018, aren't enough to reassure skeptical colleagues, who can find plenty of issues in the numbers.
``We have to be hopeful _ plan like the governor wants to do _ that what we're doing here with tax policy is going to create the kind of atmosphere that we've been trying to create for a long, long time,'' said lead Senate negotiator Les Donovan, a Wichita Republican.
House and Senate negotiators drafted the income tax plan, which is supposed to come up for a vote in both chambers this week, the last scheduled for the Legislature's annual 90-day session.
The plan reduces individual income tax rates and exempts 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes. It also reduces the sales tax to 5.7 percent in July 2013 from its present 6.3 percent, and provides about $60 million in tax relief for the fiscal year that begins July 1, growing to nearly $600 million annually after five years.
Critics believe the tax cuts could create a permanent budget crisis. If Brownback and his allies are wrong, the state will face years of cuts in aid to public schools and spending on social services and other programs.
``I certainly have a lot of questions about how this affects the long-term financial stability of the state,'' said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.
Suspicions are rooted in the regular boom-and-bust cycles of the state's finances. Good times inspire additional spending, tax cuts or both, followed by ugly decisions when the economy inevitably slows.
Republican Gov. Bill Graves was a champion tax cutter in 1998 when times were good and a big tax raiser in 2002, when times were bad. When Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius ran for re-election in 2006, she could boast that on her watch, Kansas made huge investments in public schools without raising taxes. But even without the Great Recession, the state almost certainly couldn't have sustained both trends.
Legislators wanted assurances that this year's round of proposed tax cuts won't hurt them five or six years from now. The numbers had swung wildly, and the Brownback administration questioned the method that legislative researchers used to calculate the cumulative effects of the tax cuts.
Even though researchers have used the method without many questions about its validity for years, Brownback's administration briefly suggested that legislators should use its figures instead. But legislators stuck with their staff's numbers, and House and Senate negotiators made the cuts in individual income tax rates less aggressive.
``I don't know that we've ever done a tax cut like this,'' Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said.
Yet, as Democrats who are skeptical of the plan noted, the numbers the negotiators are using are far from foolproof _ just like any six-year projections. The latest forecast predicts that spending _ financed with the state's general tax revenues _ will grow an average of 2.3 percent annually through mid-2018. The average growth for the past 10 years has been 4.8 percent.
Brownback's allies assume his election in 2010 and conservatives' increasing legislative strength heralds tighter budgeting. Granting that, there still are potential issues with the projection.
The Legislature's staff has accepted the administration's figures for potential savings _ $368 million over five years _ from its planned overhaul of the state's $2.9 billion a year Medicaid program.
Administration officials said last week that the Legislature's numbers could be too pessimistic in projecting revenue increases.
Some supporters of the tax plan also describe the Legislature's projections as ``static,'' meaning they'll assume revenues will grow steadily all six years rather than accelerating if the state attracts new jobs.
Even if legislators sound certain about the numbers they're using when discussing tax cuts, they can't really be sure. They can predict success, but ultimately, they're appealing to each other's faith.

This is really just an Ethiopian vegetable stew repackaged a different way that photographs well and would make for a nice dish at a dinner party. You can eat this with a fork or spoon, or scoop it up with traditional injera. If you are using injera, make sure the potatoes are cut small enough to be picked up with your fingers.
- 1 cup yellow split peas, rinsed
- 3 cups water
- 1.5 lbs small red potatoes
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 sweet onions, halved and sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tsp tumeric
- berbere to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tomato, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- water as needed
- 2 tbsp margarine
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- pinch of allspice and cloves
- 2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- parsley, to garnish
1. Boil the 3 cups of water and get the split peas cooking. Simmer, covered, until very soft and breaking apart.
2. While split peas are cooking, parboil the potatoes, whole, for about 10 mins until tender but still firm. Rise with cold water and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute onions for 15 mins, until golden brown. Add pepper, garlic, ginger and spices and cook for 5-8 mins more, until onions are a deep brown. Add tomatoes and bring to bubbling.
4. Drain split peas in a fine sieve and add to the onion mixture. Add tomato paste and mix well. Blend until smooth in a blender or food processor, adding water as needed and adjust seasonings as taste. The mixture should be pourable but not runny. Set aside.
5. Heat margarine in a frying pan over medium heat. Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces and fry until golden. Add add spices and fry for 2 mins. Add peas, paste, and water and mix well. Let bubble until peas are cooked and mixture has thickened.
6. To serve: pour some lentil mixture into a shallow bowl. Top with some potato mixture and garnish with chopped parsley.

Exciting food! A question about the sweet onions .... is that a special variety or can I just use red onions?
- July 8, 2011 at 8:23 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
Rob: the tumeric and berbere go into the onions in Step 3. The cardamom, cinnamon, etc. go into the potatoes in Step 5.
Katrina: I use Vidalia or Spanish onions. Red onions would work, I guess, but might colour your puree. Not a big deal.

a) Let $a>0$ and the sequence $x_n$ fulfills $x_1>0$ and $x_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2}(x_n + \frac{a}{x_n})$ for $n \in \mathbb N$. Show that $x_n \rightarrow \sqrt a$ when $n\rightarrow \infty$.
I have done it in two ways, but I guess I'm not allowed to use the first one and the second one is incomplete. Can someone please help me?
We already know $x_n \rightarrow \sqrt a$, so we do another step of the iteration and see that $x_{n+1} = \sqrt a$.
Using limit, $x_n \rightarrow x, x_{n+1} \rightarrow x$ (this is the part I think it's incomplete, don't I have to show $x_{n+1} \rightarrow x$, how?), we have that
$$x = \frac x 2 (1 + \frac a {x^2}) \Rightarrow 1 = a/x^2 \Rightarrow x = \sqrt a$$
b) Let the sequence $x_n$ be defined as $x_{n+1}= 1 + \frac 1 {x_n} (n \in \mathbb N), x_1=1$. Show that it converges and calculate it's limit.
"Tip: Show that sequences $x_{2n}$ and $x_{2n+1}$ monotone convergent to the limit." I didn't understand the tip, how can this help me? Does it make a difference if the number is odd or even?
Thanks in advance!

BENNINGTON – Bennington College and its students have long prided themselves for their environmental efforts, and on Tuesday the college took another step in that direction by signing the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment.
With President Elizabeth Coleman's signature at a special reception Tuesday evening, Bennington College made a commitment to become carbon neutral by 2030.
In recent years Bennington College has been doing the legwork to join the national commitment. A student took on the responsibility of taking the first step by conducting a greenhouse gas emissions inventory of the college three years ago.
Looking at stationary sources on campus, the college's largest emissions come from about 15 percent of the campus buildings that are not connected to a wood-chip biomass heating system installed in 2008. Campus buildings not connected to the system include some faculty housing, some of the newer dorms and a couple others.
Ideas to reduce emissions in those buildings include extending biomass steam lines to them if possible or installing geothermal or wood-pellet heating systems.
There have been great benefits from the biomass system in the buildings the wood-chip system does heat, which alone has reduced emissions on campus 40 percent.
The college has also considered solar energy or purchasing energy from a hydroelectric dam that William Scully, a Bennington College graduate, hopes to get in operation in the future at the former Vermont Tissue Paper site.
Commuting is another area in which the college hopes to reduce emissions. Having done a transit study last year, Imbruce said the majority of faculty live within a 15-mile radius and most students live on campus. Bennington College will continue to encourage carpooling and the use of Green Mountain Express when possible. A "car share" program is also being considered.
An area where it will be more difficult to reduce emissions concerns guest lecturers. The college plans to increase its reliance on video conferences, although it is not ready to put an end to guest lectures that contribute to the educational experience and often attract experts from every part of the country, and even world.
"Certainly, because of the educational value and because of the nature of living in a rural place where there's no public transportation ... we can't reduce all of our travel," Imbruce said. "The way most schools deal with it, and the way we're talking about dealing with it, is off-sets."
In addition to helping the environment, Imbruce said signing the commitment is also a great teaching opportunity and way for the college to lead by example.
"We're teaching our students about the issue of climate change and it's all encompassing," Imbruce said. "It touches upon our politics, economics and our personal lifestyles."

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Hailed as the most extensive photographic record of the naval side of World War II ever produced when published in the U.K., this book is a must for anyone interested in the naval history of that war. From Robert Capa's images of the mayhem on Omaha Beach to the amateur photography of a serviceman on board a destroyer, the collection offers a moving and informative look at all theaters. The introduction of the 35-mm camera and the easing of censorship allowed photographers to get close to the action for unflinching images of combat and the catastrophic consequences of war as never before. The book's 250 photographs cover all aspects of the war at sea, from the scuttling of the Graf Spee to the moment of impact of a kamikaze aboard ship, and rank with the best of the genre.
