The SEC Officially Rules the College Football Universe
As confetti christened the Alabama football team the 2012 Southeastern Conference champions Saturday at the Georgia Dome, a fan carried a sign: "Can't Beat SEC." The Crimson Tide had executed a 32-28 nail-biter over Georgia, and players were celebrating atop a platform, holding aloft blue discs with the conference logo. This followed the widespread circulation on the Internet last week of a cartoon. It depicts a hulking elephant and bulldog in boxing gear peering down at a leprechaun with the caption, "One of us will be right with you…"
Notre Dame could very well beat Alabama in the Bowl Championship Series title game when the teams meet Jan. 7 in Miami. The Fighting Irish are an undefeated and worthy opponent. But in an epic game Saturday night, Alabama and Georgia backed up every bit of their fans' incessant bluster about how no league can match theirs. From its TV ratings to its armies of fans, from its bruising players to the run of national titles it could soon bring to seven, from its home-field grandeur to its deeply relevant conference championship game, the SEC has become college football's unquestionable ruling empire.
Offense, defense and special teams took turns showing how SEC talent can leave you feeling like you just watched three-dimensional chess. The teams cranked up the tension with the first scoreless first quarter in the 21-year history of the SEC title game, then busted the game open in the second half. Georgia's Cornelius Washington blocked a 49-yard field-goal attempt and Alec Ogletree ran the ball back 55 yards for a touchdown and, with a point-after, a 21-10 lead for the Bulldogs, who entered as seven-point underdogs.
Georgia's pass rush smothered Alabama's A.J. McCarron, sacking him three times. So Alabama rode its sterling offensive line and running back Eddie Lacy, who gained 181 yards and two touchdowns.
Back and forth the teams bludgeoned one another, during one stretch combining to score five touchdowns in seven drives. This was supposed to be the defensive battle the first quarter had seemed to foreshadow, but the lead changed a head-swiveling five times.
Alabama's McCarron threw a 45-yard pass to Amari Cooper for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:15 remaining, spurring a thunderous celebration. The Bulldogs had a chance to drive for the win and a clear shot at their first national title since 1980. Opposing them was insatiable Alabama, the defending champions back in the hunt despite losing six players from their bone-crushing defense to the NFL draft.
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray drove the Bulldogs down the field, firing three consecutive passes for first downs to reach the Alabama 8-yard line. But Georgia had no more timeouts, and receiver Chris Conley caught Murray's final, tipped pass and slipped at the 5 as the clock went to zero.
Apart from the play on the field, fans in the packed dome showed they were thrilled to pay for the privilege of being there—some of them several hundred dollars a ticket. The SEC has proved since it introduced the concept of a conference-title game that it owns the only one that matters.
Nebraska, a program whose fans have been known to follow their team to the moon for a regular-season warm-up, returned thousands of the tickets it was allotted for Saturday's Big Ten championship game against Wisconsin in Indianapolis. Friday's Pac-12 championship at Stanford managed a mere 31,622 fans—less than half the Georgia Dome attendance Saturday and fewer fans, even, than watched Oregon State rout lower-division Nicholls State on Saturday. Keep in mind, the Pac-12 championship was being played on the campus of the eventual victor, not a neutral site, and had a BCS berth on the line.
Tickets to Saturday's Atlantic Coast Championship between Florida State and Georgia Tech were going for as little as $2 on ticket-resale sites. Before the game, the NCAA had granted the Yellow Jackets a waiver so they would be bowl-eligible even if they lost and fell to 6-7, which is exactly what happened in a 21-15 FSU win. Tech only got to argue over the minutiae of the NCAA rule book and play the extra game because division mates Miami and North Carolina are ineligible for the postseason due to NCAA sanctions.
Those games carry the stench of "inventory," tacked-on contests for TV rights-holders to hype. The SEC's game is simply unmissable most years, and was especially so Saturday. Here were two one-loss teams at the Georgia Dome once again playing for a BCS championship berth. "Every element, it really was a showcase for us," said SEC commissioner Mike Slive, owner of the most valuable portfolio in college sports.
It's no wonder that the postgame T-shirts that Alabama's players wore showed helmets with the number 14—also the number of national titles the Tide claims and could add to if (or is it when?) they beat Notre Dame.
"It's a dominant conference, you know," said Alabama's Lacy, wearing one of those T-shirts. Then he chuckled, as though the English language had run out of superlatives to keep pace with the mighty SEC. "We're big. We're fast. We're strong."
And they've given their fans more ammo than ever to be legitimately, justifiably insufferable.

STIs among Young Americans: Infographic
Sexually Transmitted Infections among Young Americans
Download High Resolution Version
While sexually transmitted diseases affect individuals of all ages, STDs take a particularly heavy toll on young people. CDC estimates that youth ages 15-24 make up just over one-quarter of the sexually active population, but account for half of the 20 million new sexually transmitted infections that occur in the United States each year.
This infographic highlights the impact, causes, and consequences of STDs among young people – and what they can do to protect themselves.

The consequences of STIs are particularly severe for young women. In fact, undiagnosed STIs cause 24,000 women to become infertile each year.
Young people account for a substantial proportion of new STIs
View High Resolution Version
Young people account for a substantial proportion of new STIs. Americans ages 15 to 24 account for 70% of the 820,000 gonorrhea infections among all ages; 63% of the 2.9 million chlamydia infections among all ages; 49% of the 14.1 million HPV infections among all ages; 45% of the 776,000 genital herpes infections among all ages; and 20% of the 55,400 syphilis infections among all ages. Finally, Americans ages 13 to 24 account for 26% of the 47,500 HIV infections among all ages.
Many youth do not know they're infected because STIs often have no symptoms
View High Resolution Version
Many youth do not know they're infected because STIs often have no symptoms. Many infections are never even diagnosed and reported. In fact, among youth ages 15 to 24, 200,000 cases of gonorrhea are diagnosed and reported, while the estimated total number of new infections is 570,000. One million cases of chlamydia are diagnosed and reported among youth ages 15 to 24, while the estimated total number of new infections among this population is 1.8 million.
Unique factors place youth at risk for STIs
View High Resolution Version
A range of unique factors place youth at risk for infection. Many young women don't receive the chlamydia screening CDC recommends. Many youth are reluctant to disclose risk behaviors to doctors. Young women's bodies are biologically more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections. Youth often lack insurance or transportation needed to access prevention services. And many young people have multiple partners which increases STI risk.
Young People Can Protect Themselves from STIs
View High Resolution Version
To protect themselves from STIs, young people should get tested, reduce their risk behaviors, and get vaccinated against HPV.

We had 2 adorable twins in January. Our older daughter is jealous of them and our life has become a nightmare. How can we address her jealousy and improve our situation?
Just speaking from our experiences:
One step we took when our 2nd daughter was born, was to buy a present from her for her sister.
I know it will be a huge time commitment raising twins, but try to make sure that your 2yo gets her one on one time. Additionally if you can get her to help in looking after the twins, simple things like getting toys for them, putting a dummy back in and so on, and having her hold them (with assistance obviously), all are simple ways to make sure she is still getting attention whilst tending to her siblings.
I actually involved my Daughter in with helping me and my son when he was born. She was always wanting to the "Big Helper". It worked for quite a while until he started to walk and she could not get away from him. After that is was teaching them to play well together.
Depending on the ages you can do different things.
When my first daughter was born, her older bros were 9 and 11. That's far enough apart that I didn't have to do to much. I just told them they were getting a sister and we'd need their help with... stuff. Kids that age pretty much have a cemented personality and know their role in the parents life and here comes another kid.
On the other hand, you may find that the older sibling simply couldn't care less. They might be like "yeah I have a baby sister, she sleeps a lot" and exhibit none of your typical symptoms of the jealous older sibling. Remember that you're not obligated to do any of this stuff. It just depends on your situation. As a parent, you're just as obligated to do nothing with the older kid if they don't need anything extra.
But since kids and families are different, here's some things for a proactive/preventative conversation. For all age kid...
For children, say 4-7, the above is applicable but since they aren't as developed mentally, it will be more of a challenge. I would say that you could enlist their interaction whenever possible so that it's "we have a baby" instead of just the knot of flesh that "took my mommy".
Do this for a while, and watch. Observation, more than anything, will tell you what you need to know about the older kids mood.
And you know what else? Congratulations! As a wise old man once said "You have taken your first step into a larger world."
We have almost exactly two years between our two daughters and we did a bit before the birth (we bought books with stories about new babies) and made sure that she 'knew' (as much as she could) that there was a baby in Mummy's tummy.
Then around the birth we bought her a gift from the baby - and a gift from her to the baby. So for a while after the birth she was keen to make sure the new baby played with the present from her.
And as they get older together, she's certainly the big sister (they even have one or two matching tops which say "big sister" and "little sister") but aside from that we try and treat them similarly as much as we can - same mealtimes, same bedtimes, bath together.
There were moments of jealousy of course, in particular when Mummy was breast-feeding, but we try to mitigate those moments by having her help out and feel involved and also, more generally, making sure that we're giving her some time with us individually by herself. The baby is more time consuming, it will be natural for her to have some jealousy.
I think it's important that you make time for the older child so they don't feel neglected. Do something that just involves her. With my older daughter, I'll take her to the store with me or out for a walk. Just the two of us. While my wife takes my other daughter (2 month old) or vise-versa. It has really helped with the jealousy for us.
We just had our second baby in February and we also have a two year old. It's only been a few months, but he seems to be coping well with having the baby around.
The thing that is really helping us now is we try to keep his daily routine as regular as possible. For example, story times with me in the mornings, lunch together in the afternoons, dinner as a family, bedtime story with dad and so on... Now, when I have to feed the baby, etc. he seems to do fine because he knows that he's going to be able to hang out with mom and dad too.
Sibling rivalry will occur, you say, but I disagree.
Our second child is nearing 2 months now and his 3yo brother has been an absolute angel about it. There has not been a single incident that looked even remotely like jealousy. But we are expecting to see some of that when the little guy starts to grab toys and move around.
I'm not sure if we did anything particularly noteworthy in preparation. We noticed even before the second pregnancy that our first son was always very careful and sweet toward babies. We noticed, and praised him for it.
We borrowed a cardboard-page book with a story of a boy getting a little sister, and we read that often in the latter half of the pregnancy. We talked about big brothers and little brothers, about what newborns are and what they can (not) do compared to the 3yo. When we met friends with babies we used the opportunity to look, touch, and talk about the baby.
After the birth of the second child, the older child is incredibly sweet toward his brother and we regularly, casually, praise him for it and tell him that it makes us and his brother happy (though he can be a brat in other aspects).

My friend wants to do an overnight on the grand canyon this summer. We are experienced hikers in pretty good shape. However we've NEVER hiked out west, much less the Grand Canyon. What are the key things we should be careful of that we wouldn't think of as hikers in the Eastern US?
The park service has some good tips. The biggest ones are:
(1) Do not try ...
Sign on the rim (2003 - probably still there).
from http://www.examiner.com/article/grand-canyon-hiking-101-who-are-the-grand-canyon-psar-rangers
(2) Be aware ... :-)
Sign at rim.
An all-rights-reserved (so it can't be pasted here) picture of this sign is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/redbeardmathpirate/4583270568/sizes/l/in/photostream/
[A newer sign than in 2003 - but the same message].
Have fun :-)
i can only agree to the answers, i was there and did a short hike (we just started like we would do here in switzerland) we're used to big and steep hikes without any trees giving shadow in the blazing sun.
But the desert is dryer than you might think.
Carry enough water and calculate more time than expected and you'll be fine, just don't try to jump around at the edges of the canyon because they are indeed more slippery or instable than they look.
And if you're in doubt better talk to the Park Authority first, most of them know what they're talking about.

GCLD Book Groups
Written by:GCLD Staff
There are many book groups in and around Grand County, some of which have been running for twenty years or more. Grand County Library District lends them support by tracking down and ordering multiple copies of books for the readers. Three of the Grand County libraries have book groups which meet regularly in the library and are open to all. The library book groups are a great way to find out if you enjoy the book group experience. Beware! Attending can become quite addictive.
- Hot Sulphur Springs Book Group: Meets in the Hot Sulphur Springs Library on the second Monday of the month from 5:30-6:30pm. Members tend to favor adult fiction and look for slightly unusual titles. The book group motto is "If you liked it come, if you didn't like it come and if you didn't read it come anyway". Call 970-725-3942 for more details
- Juniper Library "Brown Bag Book Group": Meets in the Juniper Library in Grand Lake on the second Thursday of every month from 12:30-1:30pm. It has been running for approximately six years. They choose to read both adult fiction and non-fiction. Titles are decided four months in advance. Call 970-627-8353 for more details
- Granby Library Book Group: Meets in the Granby Library on the last Monday of every month from 5:30-6:30pm. There are 5 to 10 people who attend regularly. The group tends to choose from both adult fiction and non-fiction. To make for a good discussion, the books tend to be thought provoking. Call 970-887-2149 for more details

Arizona Cardinals
Ryan Lindley holds dubious distinction, still looking for first TD pass
The beautiful thing about a win in the NFL, is that for at least a few days all of a team's persisting problems can be masked by the end result.
Take for instance last Sunday's 38-10 win by the Arizona Cardinals over the Detroit Lions. The victory snapped a season-high nine-game losing streak, but was largely the product of another tremendous performance by Arizona's defense (forced four turnovers, two returned for touchdowns).
Making his third career start in the contest, quarterback Ryan Lindley was rather uninspiring, throwing for 104 yards, to go along with one interception and no touchdown passes. Most of the offense was generated by an opportunistic defense, and Beanie Wells seemed to handle the rest of the load (career-high three touchdowns) in the red zone.
In fact, Lindley has yet to throw a touchdown in his first four career appearances, forcing some to wonder if he can even notch the career milestone in 2012.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, no quarterback since 2001 has thrown 91 passes or more in a season without connecting for at least one touchdown.
And as ESPN's NFC West blogger Mike Sando pointed out Saturday, Lindley currently holds the NFL record for most passes in a season (141) without a touchdown pass.
Lindley isn't alone though. Former Cardinal Matt Leinart also had a similar run of futility in 2009, failing to throw a touchdown in his first 77 attempts.
The task won't get any easier for the former sixth-round pick over the final two weeks of the 2012 season. Arizona faces two of the top six pass defenses in the league in Week 16 (Chicago Bears) and Week 17 (San Franciso 49ers).

The primary ingredient for the regular infant formula is "nonfat milk". The primary ingredient for the "gentlease" and "sensitive" formulas is "corn syrup". Seems to me we should be going with the regular infant formula even if that means a little gas. Am I wrong for thinking milk is better than corn syrup?
Note that nonfat milk could reasonably be called protein-fortified sugar water. The nutritiondata entry for milk indicates that one cup of nonfat milk is 12g sugar, 8g protein, 222g water (and 3g other). Compare the nutrition information for Gentlease versus regular Enfamil and you'll find that they are quite similar. My experience is that formulas are very similar in terms of nutrition. So, if I were you, I'd go with whatever formula works best for your baby that fits within your budget.
There's a big difference between sugar and more complex carbs like lactose. See http://www.foodreactions.org/intolerance/lactose/absorption.html for an in-depth explanation.
Lactose will be converted to only glucose, and this will only happen in the small intestine, at a certain rate. Corn syrup however is glucose + fructose, which will hit the blood as soon as it can. Fructose has several issues, see http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-glut5.html for some background (sorry not really an overview link but better than the Lustig lecture).
So the blood sugar response between the two types will be different, with the corn syrup one unlike what babies will experience on mothers milk, and the fructose in corn syrup may cause stress on the baby's body, it is a sugar babies are normally not exposed to until they eat fruit and even then not in very high volume.
Add to that the possible antinutrients that are in corn and in the syrup, and corn syrup becomes a cheap but in my eyes criminal choice.
Mind you I think http://www.westonaprice.org/childrens-health/recipes-for-homemade-baby-formula is the best formula so I'm probably biased :)

I have an ms-access database at work that has a table that's a transaction log.
The table contains the following fields:
Date - The date the transaction took place.
- Table_Name - Name of the table the field was changed in.
- Table_Field - The field in the table that was changed.
- Old_Value - The original value of the field (if any).
- New_Value - The new value of the field that was set during this transaction.
Now in a transaction log table like this, are these records normally set by the programming API of the system that modifies the database, a function of the database itself, or are they tiggered by something like a database trigger? Or does that depend on the rdbms that is being used?

How can I change the filesize (resolution and compression) of an image from iPhoto before adding it as an embedded image in apple mail without actually changing the image in iPhoto?
It's working for me on Lion (but didn't for a while on Snow Leopard)
When attaching a photo from the Media Browser - you can change things in the lower right corner of the mail message.
A similar dialog is drawn when you "share" from iPhoto to mail before it hands off the pictures and creates a blank mail message.
Since the latest iPhoto can "mail" the images directly - might you be using that feature instead? If so - look in the bottom right when composing and you can change the setting before sending (as well as choose from the many templates above the size setting menu.)
I think there was a bug where running the ready-for-Lion version of iPhoto on Snow Leopard skipped this dialog - but I don't have that setup to test at the moment. Perhaps I just missed the new location of the pop up when mailing them from iPhoto directly.
If you click the email button in either Aperture or iPhoto, or for any photo you drag into Mail, you'll find a drop-down at the bottom of the window once you select an image that allows you to change the size of the image, and it tells you the size of the resulting file.
Small, Medium, Large, and Original are the options.
As I said, this works for any image in Mail. It won't affect the originals in any way. It's the easiest way I've found to change the images, and it tells you the results on the fly, so you can adjust each image as required.
iPhoto 11 has exactly the same options if you email via Mail, a choice you make in the iPhoto Preferences
You should not be concerned. iPhoto never changes anything about an original image in its library. Originals are always kept in their unedited state. When you crop or scale something, and you export it, such as when you make an email attachment, iPhoto generates a new image in the smaller size, while keeping the original untouched. This also applies to any other kinds of edits, such as changing the exposure, rotating, applying effects, or anything else. You can view an edited photo, and you can export an edited photo or print it, but the iPhoto database always keeps the original photo, and you can always revert to that if you need to.
This concept is called non-destructive editing, and it is a feature of many programs that edit images, video or audio--not just the iPhoto program.

WEIRTON - Here we are at the final game of the West Virginia high school football season with only two Class A schools achieving one of their 2012 season goals. No. 4 Madonna meets No. 3 Wahama today at Wheeling Island Stadium and one of them will achieve its ultimate goal of winning a state championship. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Both teams have battled through 13 games thus far with Wahama winning them all and Madonna winning all but one.
Each team has been to the championship game recently. Madonna in 2008 and 2009 and Wahama in 2010. The Blue Dons lost to Williamstown, 23-7, in 2008, but returned to Wheeling to win the title in 2009 with a 23-7 win over Man. Wahama was defeated by Wheeling Central in the 2010 game 28-14.

NEXT — Madonna's Ross Comis (2) receives a play from Nick Ossman (1) while, from left to right, Josh Martin, Garrett Bever, Charlie Kotten, Quintin?Hukill, and Adam Robertson await the play call last week against Tucker County. Madonna faces Wahama today at 7 p.m. in the West Virginia Class A state championship game at Wheeling Island Stadium.
The two teams not only have a familiarity with the championship game, but they have a familiarity with each other. They met during the regular season in 2011 with the White Falcons rolling over the Blue Dons, 30-0.
If statistics are an indication, the teams match up well. Each team has scored 515 points in 13 games. Madonna holds the edge defensively yielding 122 points to 151 for the White Falcon defense.
The Blue Dons have somewhat of an edge in the quarterback statistics. Junior Ross Comis, who ran for 102 yards and passed for 138 in last week's double overtime, 20-14 win over No. 1 Tucker County, goes into the championship game needing 53 more stripes to top the 3,000 mark in all purpose yards. He has 1,517 stripes on the ground and 1,430 through the air. He has 24 rushing touchdowns and passed for 15 more scores.
Wahama Senior Trenton Gibbs (6-2, 195) has accumulated 1,727 yards in 13 games-1,151 passing and 576 on the ground.
However, the White Falcons have two backs with more than 1,000 yards rushing. Junior Kane Roush (5-10, 165) leads Wahama with 1,607 yards on the ground, an average of 13.1 per carry. He has rushed for 23 touchdowns.
Fullback Zack Wamsley (6-feet, 195), a senior, has 1,141 yards on the ground with an average of 6.6 yards a carry. He has scored 20 touchdowns.
A fourth White Falcon back, Crandale Neal, who lines up mostly as a wingback, has carried the ball 79 times for 596 yards. He has six pass receptions for 200 yards and has scored touchdowns on four of those catches.
Roush and junior wide receiver, Wyatt Zuspan, are Gibbs' favorite passing targets. Roush has 17 receptions for 257 yards while Zuspan has caught 12 passes for 255 stripes.
"I remember Roush from our game last year at Fairmont State," said Madonna's second-year coach, Doug Taylor. "He went more than 60 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the game. Gibbs was the starting quarterback for them last year and I remember that Wamsley is a hard runner."
Taylor said this year's edition of the White Falcons are again a good football team.
"They aren't real big up front, but their linemen are quick and get off the ball well both on offense and defense," he continued. "They have good running backs and are just a hard nosed, good football team that is very athletic."
Wahama coach, Ed Cromley, who has been at the helm of the White Falcons for 18 seasons, said he expects "a dogfight" Saturday night.
"Madonna has a fantastic team and their coaches do a great job with them. It will be a great challenge for us," he said.
Cromley, whose team shattered the hope of an all Northern Panhandle final with a 10-7 upset of No. 2 Magnolia in the semi-final game last week, noted that the nine seniors on his roster are veterans of the 2010 state championship game.
"Wamsley, Gibbs and Neal all played defense in that game and were a major part of that team two years ago," he exclaimed. "We rely a lot on our juniors on our line this year. They are a great group and I expect they'll be outstanding next year after getting experience this year."
Cromley categorized Gibbs, his quarterback, as an accurate passer, who likes to throw the ball deep.
"That gives us a threat of having the field not only spread out wide, but also vertical," Cromley continued. "We like the big plays, but we've been more of a ball control offense in the playoffs against the better teams."
Taylor said the White Falcon defense forced Magnolia into nine turnovers.
"That's uncommon for Magnolia, but it probably was because of what Wahama was doing," said Taylor. "We've done a pretty good job of protecting the football this season, but we caution our kids every day that turnovers can make the difference in the close games when you get in the playoffs.
"Our keys to victory this week are being more consistent with our line play on both sides of the ball. We did okay at times last week, but there were other times when we needed improvement. Then, we need to protect the football. We can't turn it over.
"Defensively, we can't give up the big play. We have to take their wing back in motion out of the game, and that's hard to simulate in practice. I think we'll be okay if we make sure of our reads and focus on what we're supposed to do."
Taylor said now that his team has made it to the championship game he is "tickled to death for them."
"They have worked hard all year long and they deserve everything they get," he said. "Our four seniors were dressed for the championship game in 2009. While they didn't play in the game, they have been good mentors to our younger guys in regards to what to expect and how to handle the hype that goes with this game. That's important."
Taylor said that Madonna has another edge in the game in that they have played on the Wheeling Island turf earlier this season. The outcome wasn't what they would have liked, a 28-22 loss to Wheeling Central, but it got his team familiar with the surroundings there. The Blue Dons have won 12 straight games since that loss.

Web vs Binary
In recent days, me and a group of friends was discussing the possibility on game-making. Everyone got excited as usual and now we are concerning about the commitment and don't let the initial exctiment overthrow us, because as I've read so many times that game-making groups dies at very beginning.
On our first meeting, we got a hot discussion on whether Web or PC is the best plataform. One of my friends were arguing that web technologies are better, because it would be knowlege that can grants us a job in the future and specially defending the HTML5, once that Flash is "a dead technology". Even that I hardly disagree with him (since so many websites like Newgrounds holds tons of flash games), I don't know if is it really a possibilty.
So, what about the binary?
One of the guys in the meeting said that it was "going backwards", that web games are more attractive for other people and no one downloads strange ".exe files" from unknown sites. And also for the same reason as mentioned above.
Once again, I said that it doesn't matter right now, because the main goal is to break the "first game barrier".
And the meeting ended as it is. Now, we are doing research, but this web vs binary discussing got me stuck on what is the best for the group and for the programmers (were I am included).
By the way, we are not thinking of selling. We just need experience and knowlege.

Re: Web vs Binary
There are generally less hurdles involved in web games in terms of deploying, getting users to play, promoting, and sometimes development.
If you have engineers that only know one language and aren't at the skill level to switch from something like C++ or Java to AS3 (or vice versa) than you'll have to just use whatever they already know.

I recently saw this commercial.
Now, I remember as a kid(early to mid 80's), watching a TV show that had a cartoon character exactly like that. Just the whole art style of this commercial reminded me of this. But I can't for the life of me remember the name of the show! I'm about 70% sure that it wasn't a full cartoon show, but a life action show that had these cartoon moments.
Anyone know or recognize this?

They could do phrase searches and generate a summary (a few words around the hit word). I really wanted to try it as I just imagined it to be very slow.

With the help of a dynamic group of academics, business leaders, and activists, Solutions has recently released a special issue dedicated to creating a brighter future for Appalachia. A new conversation is emerging in Central Appalachian coal country. Many groups are exploring how the region can grow a more diverse and more sustainable economy by reforesting barren mine lands, reclaiming rivers and streams, developing renewable energy industries, and supporting the region's many entrepreneurs. This discussion goes beyond the important goal of creating a restorative enterprise economy; it also includes investing in the region's social capital. Including a diverse range of perspectives, rich historical accounts, and detailed descriptions of solutions already in place on the ground, this Solutions special issue is Appalachia's playbook for an economic and environmental transition.
All content will be available online at the Solutions website. Links to articles in the Appalachia special issue will be posted to this page, and we will encourage authors to use this forum to answer reader questions.
Look out for articles by Wendell Berry, Ecological Design expert John Todd, and Vernon Haltom of Coal River Mountain Watch.
As always, we welcome and encourage the involvement of our readers and invite you to use this online forum to contribute your own thoughts on the future of Appalachia.
Healing communities in lands damaged by resource extraction
Developing a complex of solutions through discipline of 'applied industrial ecology' and integrative planning/design, fully engaging an eco-centric and culturally compassionate worldview to repairing places we have collectively made to be environmental sacrifice zones. The Tar Creek Superfund area is largely inhabited by 8 Native American tribes, with most of the severely damaged land on that of a single tribe. Once extremely productive ecologically and biologically, the area can't even be developed by neighboring urbanizing communities (it's that bad).

Has anyone else stopped going to the other sites except this one?
I've stopped checking the other sites a long time ago. I only hover my mouse over the sites on the top. I used to read the "side deals". But recently, I've stopped reading the "side deals" next to the picture because, to be quite honest, I'm just tired deciphering what the titles mean and reading the list of "side deals". I was fine with the side deals when they had pictures along with it, but now it's text only.
18 Answers answer
I still go to all the other sites but don't spend too much time browsing around.
The side deals are annoying. You can see a picture of something that catches your attention and then you click on it only to find out that item is not sold. This happens frequently and I'm planning on ignoring all the side deals sometime in the near future.
Maybe, one day, Woot will realize that we understand the one deal per day feature is never coming back. Woot should change their site so you can see all the items for sale without having to click into sub sections (side deals and multiple tabs) and put the items into your cart. Then, once you have everything in your cart then you checkout just like all the other commerce sites.
Yes, I have even stopped looking at my daily deal emails.
This is my first stop, then I do the hover over at the top (which I'm sure glad they included pictures and prices)... then if something grabs my attention I'll take a peek.
I was on the anti-side-deals bandwagon, too, but just used a couple of accumulated coupons to snag some items I actually NEED from the Home.Woot side deals a few days ago. I guess it would be hypocritical of me to complain too much now. Having said that, they could make it easier to navigate. While the titles of each section are usually funny, I frequently have to go into the section to see what kind of items are offered. It could be laid out in a more user-friendly manner.
i like woot but it sometimes gets stale..also,i am used to great shipping .Which, for the most part does not exist here..i'm just saying!!!!
I hit Woot, take a QUICK (5 second) look at the pictures on the right, and then hit deals.
I don't look at the side deals.
Compare that to a few months ago when I looked at Woot, then clicked and looked at Shirt, then clicked and looked at Sellout, and then finally ended up at deals.
I used to only come here but the silly reputation system and the constant bombardment of DVD's has kind of made me feel like I'm just wasting my time (I'm not sure why it ever didn't seem that way :) ). That, and my new interest in wine make wine.woot a much more interesting page.
It's sad, I don't read the daily emails anymore, hardly even look at the main sales. Deals.woot is the only place I find anything I might want.
I still read the daily emails for the banter. Don't pay too much mind to anything else. When I come on woot, it's always deals.woot. I'll hover through the top bar, but I've honestly never spent much time on any woot other deals.woot.
I spend the large majority of my time on deals.woot, but I'll take a look at everything. I've bought more from the side deals recently than the main deals. Apart from checking the main sites for the new side deals, it's not like anything is changing on the sites, so it's no huge expenditure of time to keep up with it.
I only go to deals.woot.com from my phone because it doesn't default to the mobile website. Woot is selling too much stuff for the mobile site to be useful. Deals shows me everything I need to see except the plus sales. Those are up for longer than a day, so I'll glance at the main site when I get to a computer.
Good deals sometimes take a while to be promoted on this site, so I still frequent other places. However the comments on this site are much more active so I will check before pulling the trigger
I hover over the main Woot sites to see what the featured deal is. I use Wootstalker to look at the Plus deals. It marks the new ones each day, nice feature. If there's something that interests me I use the Woot page to go to that deal. Bigger pictures and more detail.
EDIT: The rest of the time I spend on Deals.
I check shirt.woot by hovering over it at the top. Other than that, I come here. I don't even know why I continue to check shirt.woot as they haven't had anything that interested me in over a year.
I'm here in dw.questions or the shirt forums.
Don't bother much with the spendy side of things, since it's rarely of interest to me.
There are other sites besides this one?
Sometimes I am tempted to add a link to a side deal from another Woot site here on Deals because there are so many of them and often they seem to be inconveniently buried down in the sites.
@belowi: Had to laugh at your comment. It's SO true! Some of woot's side/plus deals are good buys. And they're buried in the abyss. One has to have a lot of time & patience to sort through the deals. I do not have those. Especially lacking in patience.
Again: A workable Search function and a Cart are needed. Make woot a user-friendly shopping site.

The White County Sheriff's Department has made an arrest in the case of a theft from Mill Shoals Township. Arrested was Shannon L. Woodrow of Springerton.
The arrest is the result of a several month long investigation by the Sheriff's Department. A payment made to Wayne White Electric in the amount of $537.50 purported to have been made payable by Mill Shoals Township was determined to have been without the consent of Mill Shoals Township. Cash in excess of $500 was also taken from Mill Shoals Township for the purposed on being "Bonded." This bond was never obtained thereby depriving Mill Shoals Township of this property.
States Attorney Denton Aud reviewed the report and filed formal charges.
Woodrow is being held in the White County Jail on $2,500 cash bond.

Oops, something didn't work.
I for one, would love to see a regular "Brian Beckman" show here on C9.
Just a quick note, tried to stream this and I was having some problems, then I went to download it. Isn't 1.2 gigs a bit large for an hours worth of video?
Now don't get me wrong, it's Brian Beckman, I truly feel like you could just film that guy ordering lunch and somehow I'd learn...., so I'll download it size be damned
More Brian Beckman! This is so awesome.
I cant thank both you, Charle, and Brian, for all good shows
That was a nice video ....
cool staff
Nice interview.
I actually wrote my first program on the HP calculator with memory cards around 1980.
Brings back memories of a similar kind, in 1983 I was in high school and wrote a simulator of a NORD-100 (mini computer from Norsk Data) using Microsoft MBasic (when Microsoft was a somewhat more modest outfit) that ran on a MP/M terminal based Mycron machine
running a 80186 processor.
Dr. Beckman: you're really a ROCK-STAR!
(You must have a big talent for teaching, for explaining things...)
Thank you very much for the time you took from your busy schedule, to offer us such a great video!
Thanks also to the Channel 9 interviewer.
I'm looking forward to download the historical-HP emulator code.
BTW#1: the RPC notation is also used in more modern HPs like HP49, and you are right: it's great!
BTW#2: Is there any reason to develop the emulator GUI using WinForm and not WPF? Speed of execution?
Greetings from Italy
That was pretty cool. I did something similar using Wpf - took a couple weekends

I realize that setting up

I realize that setting up
Is there any way of running
Yes, copied from: pbuilder.
It is possible to use user-mode-linux by invoking pbuilder-user-mode-linux instead of pbuilder. pbuilder-user-mode-linux doesn't require root privileges, and it uses the copy-on-write (COW) disk access method of User-mode-linux which typically makes it much faster than the traditional pbuilder.
User-mode-linux is a somewhat less proven platform than the standard Unix tools which pbuilder relies on (chroot, tar, and gzip) but mature enough to support pbuilder-user-mode-linux since its version 0.59. And since then, pbuilder-user-mode-linux has seen a rapid evolution.
The configuration of pbuilder-user-mode-linux goes in three steps:

Soot rule a job-killer
Is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a rogue bureaucracy, operating without regard to the needs and preferences of the executive branch? The soot regulations it issued last week, coupled with the carbon tax lurking on the near horizon, would seem to suggest it is just that.
The Obama administration doesn't need America's already clean air to be infinitesimally cleaner, and it doesn't need to thwart the increasingly dubious threat of trouble in the distant future resulting from man-caused climate change. What the administration needs now is a vigorous economic recovery in place of the feeble gains Americans have seen since President Obama took office nearly four years ago. An honest-to-goodness recovery likely would be a boon to Democrats in the midterm elections of 2014, securing Mr. Obama's place in history as a successful president, and giving him a more compliant Congress in the last two years of his presidency than the one he's dealing with now.

Screen Disappears in WYSIWYG
Interesting bug...I've got a screen which is continually disappearing from the Design view of Architect. When Architect is first opened, the screen renders without issue; however, as soon as an edit is done, the screen disappears. To replicate:
1. Open the file
2. Select view d_disbursements
3. Click the "Add" button in the upper left corner of the Ext.Window.
4. Change the icon class (for instance).
5. Screen disappears.
Clicking Refresh briefly shows the screen, but it blanks itself out straight away.
The relevant information:
Architect Version 2.2.2
Build 971
Release Channel: 2.2.2-stable
Description - specific screen disappears when edited in visual mode.
Steps to reproduce - as above
Result expected - the screen shouldn't disappear when edited.
Operating System - Windows 7 Pro running as a VM on a Ubuntu host.
I've uploaded my project to http://shared.legaledge.com.au/arch.zip
10 May 2013 12:42 PM #2
Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.
12 May 2013 5:06 PM #3
One additional piece of information - the screen which this happens on was originally written in Designer (last version) and then converted (using Architect) and imported into the existing project.

As a visitor of the US, I have learned to appreciate Yuengling beer. Did someone try to brew a clone of this beer and can publish a recipe?
Are you talking about their "Traditional Lager"? They have several different beers, though this one is the most popular I believe.
At the request of some Pennsylvanians, I made a clone once, cobbled together from a few different recipes on the web. It was well received.
60% - Pale 2-row
You'll probably want to do a cereal mash first, and then a saccharification rest at 151ºF (66ºC) for a full 90 minutes.
You want about 20IBUs of bittering from a traditional neutral hop, perhaps cluster, and then I understand there's a small 15 minute addition of Cascade. I used 0.5oz (15g) for 5 gallons (19L).
Ferment with a clean lager yeast and then give it a nice long cold storage before serving.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out if you make it.

Larkin stated that she decided to pursue law as a career "because I wanted to work in a challenging field that would allow me to pursue my dual interests in Political Science and Biology. I look forward to learning from the skilled attorneys at Sills Cummis & Gross and to exploring a wide variety of areas of legal practice during my time here. I am extremely honored to be the 2013 Charles J. Walsh Scholar, and I am very excited for this unique, hands-on experience."
The Charles J. Walsh Scholar Fund will provide financial and other assistance to Larkin in the form of scholarship support, summer internship stipends, mentorship during law school and career guidance.
Max Crane, Managing Partner, stated: "Our commitment to the New Jersey law school community continues with our seventh Charles J. Walsh Scholar. Mentoring young law students enriches the Firm as a whole and we are pleased to welcome Alexandra as a first-year law clerk this summer. It's something that Chuck would have heartily endorsed."
Ronald K. Chen, Acting Dean of Rutgers School of Law–Newark, added: "We very much appreciate the generosity of Sills Cummis & Gross in supporting the legacy of Chuck Walsh and are delighted that Alexandra, a student of much talent and promise, has been selected as the 2013 Charles J. Walsh Scholar."| Read Story

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Some schools were delaying classes ahead of a winter cold front that could pelt mid-Alabama with freezing rain, snow and cold starting Sunday and into early next week.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service said a mix of wintry weather was expected to descend across central Alabama on Sunday evening. Rain showers were likely Sunday before 9 p.m. in Montgomery, followed by rain and sleet. Government forecasters said flurries were expected after midnight.
Temperatures will remain chilly into Monday, not rising above freezing across most of the state.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Caretakers are searching for the owner of a small dog found treading water in Tampa Bay.
The Tampa Bay Times reports a fisherman saw the dog's small nose rising above the waves Thursday morning.
The dog was 2 miles from the St. Petersburg shoreline and the water temperature was 68.
The fisherman took the dog to Demens Landing marina. A resident wrapped the dog in a towel and said she shook all night.
The pooch was wearing a red collar and pink rhinestone name tag. She has a microchip, but the number associated with her name doesn't work.
Caretaker Suzy Johnson says the dog may have fallen overboard at night without anyone realizing it.
CRESTVIEW, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say one suspect was killed and two officers were wounded Thursday while executing a search warrant in the Florida Panhandle. Both officers were expected to recover. The man who was killed was not immediately identified. Another man, 38-year-old Aphrey Benjamin Collis, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Public transportation is coming to Everglades National Park.
A new trolley service that launches Saturday will link Homestead with Everglades and Biscayne National Parks.
Free trolley rides from downtown Homestead to visitor centers within the two national parks will run every weekend from January to April. The route includes a stop at the beach at Homestead's Bayfront Park.
The trolley stop at Homestead's Losner Park connects to Miami-Dade County bus routes.
The National Park Service, the city and the National Parks Conservation Association collaborated on the trolley service.
ATLANTA (AP) -- It's shaping up to be a major election year in Georgia.
All statewide elected officials, including Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, will be up for re-election. There also will be a hotly contested race for Georgia's open U.S. Senate seat, with Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss set to retire at the end of the year. And all 56 state senators and 180 state representatives will be on the ballot.
While the general election isn't until November, there will be key primaries to keep an eye on, and those will likely be held early in the year. That means state lawmakers gathering in Atlanta this month for the legislative session will have an extra incentive to move quickly.
Key issues will be the budget, education funding and Medicaid.

The TAB asked Mayor Setti Warren's office whether or not he supports Alderman Sangiolo's proposed moratorium on tearing down houses and replacing them with buildings more than 20 percent larger than the original.
The mayor's response reads:
�I take these concerns very seriously. One of my main goals is to retain the character of Newton while continuing to offer diverse housing options. I believe the best way to achieve this is for the Planning Department to continue leading zoning reform to Phase 2 and begin master planning � not a moratorium on teardowns. We look forward to working with the Board of Alderman and the community as we begin this process in the coming months.� � Mayor Setti Warren

Fork Flower
This simple, easy craft is a great way for your child to keep busy while he's waiting for his meal in a restaurant or at home.
- Yarn
- Fork with four tines
- Scissors
- Green pipe cleaner or floral wire (optional)
- Tie the end of a length of yarn (at least 12 inches long) to one of the end tines of the fork.
- Show your child how to weave the yarn over the adjacent tine, under the next one, and so on. Wrap the yarn around the other end tine and weave another row in the other direction.
- Continue weaving until the fork is full of yarn.
- Help your child thread a separate length of yarn (about 6 inches long) between the two middle tines at the bottom of the weaving.
- Pull the yarn tightly around the center of the weaving and tie a knot.
- Pull the weaving off the fork to reveal a puffy little yarn flower.
- You can trim any long yarn ends whenever it's convenient to do so.
- If you like, have your child make several flowers.
- Attach each to a stem of green pipe cleaner or floral wire.
- Let your child arrange his bouquet of fork flowers in a vase.

Just started playing around with the pano2VR for Mac and I cannot seem to find a tutorial for this anywhere. Basically, my pano looks great until the two 'ends' meet up. They don't overlap correctly. Any ideas how to fix this?
I know the image 'works' as I tried it with Canon's Photostitch and there was no overlapping there. Thanks!

scope issue on events
I add an event to a store and I get the following produced code.
shouldn't the scope be created by the generated code?
where scope: me is included? it is not being included for me.

I added an event to the store, in the first post the screen shot is what architect generated, when I go add a record to the store the event is called. Once in the event it is out of scope, since there is no scope: me like it says in the docs. In the docs it states the scope: me gets generated, this is not what is happening. so I am now having scope issues. when I try to access (this) once in the event, (this = the current store that the event was added)

Wednesday's letters: Christmas lights
Published: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 24, 2012 at 3:30 p.m.
To the editor: It is amazing to think how many trillions of lights are glittering all over the Earth each year to celebrate Christmas, symbolically to proclaim the fullness of its meaning.
The use of light for this purpose has a biblical origin where the word is used hundreds of times in both Testaments, beginning with the creation story, Let there be light, and there was light.
Christmas lights are intended symbolically to dispel from the human heart and from our world the evil of darkness with its vast symbolism of what we abhor, and want to eliminate from our world, of which the horror of Dec. 21 in Newtown, Conn., is a terrible example.
Light illumines our way with knowledge and wisdom as we put the horrible behind us and sojourn forth into the future.
It enables us daily to enjoy the beauty of creation surrounding us on our wonderful Earth, destined to be our home.
As we install and make these lights glitter, they have a message and challenge for us, When you turn us off, you be the light of the world, always!
Daniel J. Theron
Put safety first
To the editor: During my law enforcement career, I spent a number of years investigating fatal traffic accidents. The worst of such accidents would occur during the holiday season when good, law-abiding citizens would attend office parties and other gatherings where alcohol was served and then attempt to drive home.
These are citizens who got caught up in the festivities, and before they knew it, they had ruined their lives and the lives of their victims. Unable to control their vehicle due to intoxication, they would become involved in horrible accidents, many of which resulted in death or injuries.
Think about what you are doing. Ive witnessed families broken up by long prison sentences and death. You owe it to your family and fellow citizens not to put them in danger of being split apart by your foolish actions. You only get one chance, for these accidents occur in a matter of seconds and then the horror begins.
Employers, please provide nondrinking monitors at parties and have everyone who attends turn their keys over to them. Have someone available to drive them home, if necessary. In this way, you can ensure happy holidays for all.
Dale P. Bowlin
What policies?
To the editor: In the Times-News Dec. 10 edition, a letter writer wrote the following, President Obama boldly took what many saw as unpopular positions because they were the right policies to restore prosperity to our country and to create opportunities for us all.
If the Times-News will permit and the writer is reading this letter, I, and Im sure everyone else, would like for the writer to identify the policies and opportunities that President Barack Obama has instituted that are restoring prosperity.
Were waiting!

The December issue of School Reform News features an exclusive interview with Mae and Martin Duggan, who founded Citizens for Educational Freedom (CEF)--the first organization established to promote educational freedom in the United States--45 years ago in an effort to achieve "a fair share for every child." Explains Mae Duggan, "It is a violation of distributive justice to discriminate against one eligible recipient by favoring another. But that is exactly what the education system does today: Everyone pays in, but one small group of children--those in private schools--is discriminated against because the benefits are made available only to children in public schools."
On page 1:
- An Abell Foundation study finds special education students in Baltimore public schools achieve poorly because of "deeply embedded [school system] practices" that are both "unlawful and inept."
- Policy and political analysts expect President George W. Bush to use his second term to extend NCLB accountability to high schools and restore private school vouchers as a transfer option.
- A new report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development finds other industrialized countries are beginning to catch up with the U.S. on such measures as high school completion rates.
- A recent Cato Institute Policy Forum on "Creating a True Marketplace in Education" highlights the importance of parental choice, child-centered funding, and equal treatment for all students regardless of which type of school they attend.
Also in this issue: "Robin Hood" property taxes in Texas; a tuition tax credit proposal in Utah; excluding religious schools from Maine choice programs; interactive school report cards in Illinois; the "mad, mad world" of textbook adoption; sports as education; and more.

Is that what the Soviets did?
Here's the fuller cite from Jennifer Fisher's Nutcracker Nation-
According to Elizabeth Souritz dance scholar Russian choreographers have spent considerable energy trying to overcome the perceived faults of The Nutrcracker's child-centered libretto and to bring the ballet into line with "the psychological depth of the score," whereas in the United States, The Nutcracker answers a different purpose--mainly as "a favorite Christmas entertainment for children".
Fisher corrects this by saying that once it grew up on its own in Northern Amercia, like a displaced emigre--it became something the Russians no longer recognized.
I notice in my new Penguin copy of the Hoffmann and Dumas Nutcracker, the editor compares the ballet to the original stories and says that-
gone [in the ballet] are the more serious issues of [Hoffmann's] artwork, such as the conflict between the philistine method of raising children that curbs the imagination and Hoffmann's innovative use of a double anti-fairy tale that enables young Marie to discover the miracles of life an realize her dreams. The ballet is more about the coziness of home and the taming of the imagination..
This may be a part of the same can of worms, or a whole new batch.

In any metrical space $(M,d_M)$, consider $n$ bounded subsets $S_i\subset M$. Then, is $\cup_i^nS_i$ bounded? If so, why?
Since each $S_j$ is bounded, there exists a point $p_j$ such that $S_j\subset B(p_j,r_j)$. Now take $p=p_1$, $r=\max\{r_1,\ldots,r_n\}+\max_j\{d(p_1,p_j)\}$. If $x\in S_j$, then $$ d(x,p)\leq d(x,p_j)+d(p_j,p_1)\leq r_j+d(p_j,p_1)\leq r. $$ So $x\in B(p,r)$, and this shows that $S_j\subset B(p,r)$ for all $j$. Thus $$ \bigcup_j S_j\subset B(p,r). $$
Of course. A set is $S$ bounded iff for every $p$ in the space there is some $r_S$ such that $S \subset B(p,r_S)$. For finite unions we take the maximum of the $r_S$ in the union.
In the comments you say that your definition of bounded $S$ is $$ \mathrm{diam}(S) < +\infty. $$
You want to prove that if $S$ is bounded and $x\in M$ is any point, then $$ \sup_{y\in S} d(x,y) < +\infty $$ (use triangular inequality) and then you can easily prove this last inequality for the finite union of bounded sets.

At times when I do CtrlR to search through command history, I find that I don't reach the entry I was looking for, even though I know it's in history. I think this is due to me having passed the entry, forcing me to use another command to go the other direction. Is there a command that allows the whole of history to be searched by looping through it (restarting the cycle) when it reaches the end?
You could use Alt+> to go back to the end of your history then search again, but maybe you knew that, and it's not what you want.

As the weather warms and people spend more time outdoors, they sometimes come in contact with seemingly "orphaned" wildlife. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division urges residents to not 'rescue' these animals.
"Despite good intentions, young wildlife taken into captivity can lose their natural instincts and ability to survive in the wild," explains John Bowers, Wildlife Resources Division assistant chief of game management. "In most instances, young wildlife that appear to be helpless and alone is only temporarily separated from adults. This natural behavior is a critical survival mechanism. Adults spend a significant amount of time away from their offspring to minimize predation."
Wildlife Rehabilitators
Persons not licensed and trained in wildlife rehabilitation, should not attempt to care for wildlife. Georgia law prohibits the possession of most wildlife without a permit. If you encounter a seriously injured animal or an animal that clearly has been orphaned, please contact a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
A list of licensed rehabilitators is available at www.georgiawildlife.com/special-permits-unit (select "Wildlife Rehabilitator List" from this page). You may also contact a local Wildlife Resources Division office to find a rehabilitator.
Wildlife, Disease and Your Home
Handling of any wildlife or bringing them into the home poses health risks for both people and domestic pets. Despite the fact that they make look healthy, wildlife can transmit life-threatening diseases such as rabies and can carry unhealthy parasites such as roundworms, lice, fleas and ticks. Certain ticks are especially known to transmit diseases such as 'Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever' and 'Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness' to humans.
Protect yourself and your family. Contact the local county health department and/or Wildlife Resources Division office if you encounter an animal such as a bat, fox, skunk, raccoon, coyote or bobcat that appears to show no fear of humans or dogs, or that seems to behave in a sick or abnormal manner (i.e. weaving, drooling, etc.). The animal may be afflicted with rabies, distemper or another disease. Do not attempt to feed or handle sick animals. Pets, livestock and humans should be kept away from the area where the animal was observed.
The two most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your pets from rabies is 1) get pets vaccinated and 2) avoid physical contact with wildlife. As another precautionary step, adults should instruct children to NEVER bring wildlife home.
For more information, visit www.georgiawildlife.com/special-permits-unit, contact a local Wildlife Resources Division office (www.georgiawildlife.com/about/contact) or call (770) 918-6416.

What is the proper way and temperature to store yeast?
The answer varies depending on the type of yeast, but in general, the fridge is a good bet (37-41F). Dry yeast can stay viable for a long time stored at room temperature, but liquid or cultured yeast should definitely be stored in the fridge to keep them in a dormant state and increase their longevity (dry yeast will also last longer in the fridge but it's not strictly necessary). Cultured yeast should be stored in pure, sterile water (you should be able to look up methods of "washing" yeast from previous batches pretty easily), while store bought yeast can be stored in whatever container it comes in.
Store your store bought yeast in the fridge, regardless of format (dry v. liquid).
If I order yeast online with ingredients from a web store I like to make my starter right away. Then I put the whole starter in the fridge after it completely ferments out. Because I never really know how well the shipping trip treated the yeast, I figure if I get it started ASAP it will help revive the healthiest cells that remain. Then the starter with spent wort (or sterile water) on top of it will keep for at least two weeks and its ready to pitch. I like to let it come back to room temp while I brew, then pitch the slurry only.

Each of the four person – Pawan, Rahul , SGR, Ankit –travelled at a different uniform speed out of 10 km/hr, 15 km/hr,20km/hr, and 25 km/hr for different time durations- 30 hours, 40 hours, 50 hours and 60 hours – not necessary in that order. It is also known that-
Rahul travelled for a shorter distance than Ankit and a longer Distance than SGR, who travelled a longer distance than pawan.
The person who travelled the longest distance neither travelled at the highest speed nor travelled for the longest duration.
The person who travelled a distance of 750 km is not the one who travelled the longest distance.
No two persons travelled the same distance.

I need to calculate the following integral for my homework, but I dont know how. If someone show me step by step solution I would really appreciate it. $$\int \frac {1}{\sin^3(x)} dx$$
There is a standard first-year calculus response. Rewrite the integrand as $\dfrac{\sin x}{\sin^4 x}=\dfrac{\sin x}{(1-\cos^2 x)^2}$. The substitution $u=\cos x$ leaves us integrating $-\dfrac{1}{(1-u^2)^2}$. Now partial fractions.
There are in many cases more efficient procedures, but one can in principle handle in this way all $$\int \sin^m x\cos^n x\,dx,$$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers and at least one of $m$ and $n$ is odd.
Substitute $u=\tan\frac{x}{2}$. Then $\frac{x}{2}=\arctan u\Rightarrow x=2\arctan u$. This means $$\frac{dx}{du}=\frac{2}{1+u^2}$$ In addition, $$\sin x=\frac{2u}{u^2+1}$$ Then, $$\int\frac{1}{\sin^3x}dx=\frac{2}{8}\int\frac{(u^2+1)^2}{u^3}du=\frac{1}{4}\int u+\frac{2}{u}+\frac{1}{u^3}du$$ which I think you know how to solve.
What I used here is the classic but always useful Tangent half-angle formula
Make the change of variables $ \csc(x) = u $, which implies
$$ \int \csc(\theta)^3 d \theta = -\int \frac{{u^2}}{\sqrt{u^2-1}} du \,. $$
Following it with the change of variables $ u = \sin(t) $ yields
$$ -\int \frac{{u^2}}{\sqrt{u^2-1}} du = i \int \sin(t)^2\,dz= \dots. $$
Note: You can use integration by parts to evaluate the integral
$$ -\int \frac{{u^2}}{\sqrt{u^2-1}} du . $$
integral csc^3(x) dx
Use the reduction formula,
-cos(x) sin^2(x)^((m-1)/2) csc^(m-1)(x) 2F1(1/2, (m+1)/2, 3/2, cos^2(x)) = -(cos(x) csc^(m-1)(x))/(m-1) + (m-2)/(m-1)-cos(x) sin^2(x)^((m-3)/2) \csc^(m-3)(x) 2F1(1/2, (m-1)/2, 3/2, cos^2(x)), where m = 3:
= 1/2 integral csc(x) dx-1/2 cot(x) csc(x)
The integral of $\csc(x) \,\,\text{is} -\log(\cot(x)+\csc(x)):$ = $-1/2 (\cot(x) \csc(x))-1/2 \log(\cot(x)+\csc(x))+$constant
Factor the answer a different way:
Answer: $= 1/2 (-\cot(x) \csc(x)-\log(\cot(x)+\csc(x)))+\text{constant}$
Sorry for the mess.

I just watched the 1992 film Unforgiven and I liked it a lot. But how does the title of this movie relate to its story?
It's a good question, and sent me digging.
I found a terrific essay on the film written by William Beard, and here is an excerpt that pertains to your question:
If that was too much to take in, in a nutshell Munny had been forgiven by his wife, society and, most importantly, by himself - but the lure of his old ways are too tempting and he regresses into the violent world he had left behind, ultimately destroying the last vestiges of his 'good' self through the death of Ned. Ultimately he realizes what he is, what he has always been; unforgiven.
To me, forgiveness is a running theme under all the major characters. The women refuse to forgive the cowboys, even after Bill fines them. Bill refuses to forgive English Bob for his past. The kid immediately seeks forgiveness when he kills the cowboy.
"forgiveness is a running theme under all the major characters" I agree. Women refuse to forgive the innocent cowboy even after he showed sincere remorse, perhaps because what they knew they already did (hire assassins). Most importantly, Munny never forgave himself over what he had done in the past, felt sure he was going to hell. And he certainly will never forgive himself for getting Ned killed. As he says: "Ned didn't kill anyone."

Wisconsin's Alvarez to Coach in Rose Bowl
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez will coach the Badger football team in the Rose Bowl against Stanford on Jan. 1, a person familiar with the situation said, after coach Bret Bielema left the school to take the Arkansas football job. The source said Alvarez will make an official announcement of his decision at a news conference Thursday.
Bielema, at his introduction as Arkansas's coach on Wednesday, echoed those sentiments. "I think he's actually coaching their bowl game," he said. "I just heard that before I came here, which would be awesome. They might finally win one. Everyone tells me he won three and I lost two."
Alvarez coached the Badgers from 1990 to 2005, and is widely regarded as the man who put the program on the map. He went 117-74-4 in his 16 years in Madison, and 8-3 in his team's bowl games, including Rose Bowl wins to end the 1993, 1998 and 1999 seasons. He hand-picked Bielema as his replacement and became the school's athletic director.

Chelsea Is Knocked Out of Champions League
Chelsea became the first reigning Champions League title holders to fail to advance past the event's group stage, despite beating Nordsjaelland 6-1 Wednesday. Meanwhile, Barcelona, Manchester United, Juventus and Bayern Munich all won their groups, but some surprise runners-up should lead to mouth-watering pairings when the round of 16 matchups are drawn on Dec. 20. European powerhouses Real Madrid and AC Milan (who have won 16 titles between them) both finished second during group play, which leave them as dangerous opponents for a top seed in the knockout round. Each group winner will play a second-place team that is not from the same nation (or their original group), which means another Classico between Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona will have to wait until at least the quarterfinals.

For Instructors Spinning
05/24/2011 9:49 am
For those of you attending the World Spinning and Sport Conference (WSSC), you are probably getting as anxious as I am. I can?t believe it is only 10 days away. The most amazing thing I find at WSSC is the celebration of the Spinning ® program. It doesn?t matter what language you speak, on what continent you live or the color of your skin, we are united as one during this special event!!! The cultural experience in itself is well worth the price of admission, airfare, lodging and meals to be among people that share such a passion for the Spinning® program. Witness for yourself how instructors from around the world coach a ride. You?ll be amazed at the energy that is displayed. It doesn?t matter if you understand the words spoken by the instructor. What really matters is that you allow yourself to commit your entire being ? mind, body and soul ? to the moment that is WSSC. WE ARE ALL ONE!!! blog by Ralph Mlady for community.spinning.com 5/24/2011Share

How to describe a simple closed curve on an oriented surface of genus g? I know the answer only for the torus. It would be nice to find an article or a book where proof can be found.
There are multiple ways, depending on what your goal is.
From an algorithmic point of view, if you are given a triangulation of the surface, normal curves are a very efficient way to describe a simple closed curve. You can check the recent paper by Jeff Erickson and Amir Nayyeri : http://compgeom.cs.uiuc.edu/~jeffe/pubs/tracing.html for the background.
If you want to describe curves up to isotopy, you can use Dehn-Thurston coordinates. Quick googling gave me the following link : http://intlpress.com/CAG/2004/12-1/CAG_12_1_1_41.pdf but there are probably better references.
Finally, train tracks have proved to be a very useful method of describing curves, especially in the setting of mapping class groups. There is an orange book by Penner and Harer on them, Combinatorics of Train Tracks if I recall correctly. There is also a great survey by Lee Mosher in the Notices of the AMS.
Check out the book Thurston's Work on Surfaces for a treatment of Dehn-Thurston coordinates which is simultaneously intuitive and in-depth.
First, a remark on the other two answers: The Dehn-Thurston coordinates describe multicurves (that is, disjoint unions of essential simple curves). Figuring out when a multicurve is connected (so, an actual curve) is a very difficult computational problem, though it is know through the work of yours truly (Simple curves on surfaces) and Mirzakhani (I suggest taking a look at my paper "A simpler proof of Mirzakhani's simple curve asymptotics") that there is a positive probability (which Mirzkhani expresses in terms of volumes of moduli spaces) that a multicurve (given by D-T coordinates) is a curve.
Given an element in the fundamental group, there are algorithms (Birman-Series, M. Cohen-Lustig, M. Lustig for closed surfaces) to determine whether this element represents a simple closed curve -- unfortunately, this is a decision procedure, and not a method to generate all simple closed curves.

Hummingbird Oval Paper Mache Pendant
Give your designs hand-crafted elegance with the hummingbird oval paper mache pendant. This lightweight pendant is made out of paper mache and features a hand-painted design on the front. A swirling golden pattern frames the edge of the pendant, encircling a hummingbird hovering over a purple flower. A small loop is attached to the top of the pendant so you can easily add it to designs. This lightweight yet strong pendant can be used in a variety of ways — even in earrings! Color and patterns may vary slightly from piece to piece, since each pendant is a hand-painted treasure signed by the artist.
