Unanswered: Server-side updates
I'm starting with ExtJS so my question may very well already been answered somewhere in these forums, but I couldn't find it. I want to start a web app to show some stock prices on some grid. The catch is, the stock prices will change (in the end, in realtime) and when the server knows that a price has changed, it needs to send that change to the client (no polling every X seconds from the client side). So, the server needs to invalidate the store the client is using, somehow. And the client needs to know exactly what price has changed, so that it can change the background color of that cell for a brief period of time. How do you start this? I'm quite certain this can easily be done in ExtJS, but I'm not really sure how.

When Day Breaks (Large Print / Paperback)
On the day she died, Constance Young was the undisputed star of morning television. But her plans to move herself and her loyal audience to another network were canceled when she ended up at the bottom of her swimming pool. And the fabled unicorn amulet, the centerpiece of the upcoming Camelot exhibit at New York's Cloisters museum--which Constance had been wearing during her final hours--is missing.
A morning-show veteran and now anchor of the KEY Evening Headlines, Eliza Blake is determined to discover who wanted Constance out of the way . . . and why. But the deeper she digs, the more twisted the trail to Constance's killer becomes--as the list of suspects grows longer by the minute. The one sure thing is that Constance Young made a lot of enemies, and now one of them is Eliza's enemy--and possibly her killer--as well.

Dear, Sigames :]
First of all i want to congratulate all of you about your games. This is definitely the most realistic game ever made, but i've always wondered a few things. What the hell can i do with the money i have earned. It doesn't make sense. I earn something that is absolutely useless. Maybe you should think about that in the next version of the game. Also it's very annoying that you can't become something more than a manager. I'm not a fan of Fifa Manager, but i think they really got that one right. You have the option (if you have the money of course) to buy the whole club, which is kind of motivating. That's the only reason why i used to play Fifa manager a few years ago. Anyway, that's from me for now :]
Cheers :]

I was looking for a way to change browser address location without causing a full page reload, thus I got some useful information, like this:
and trying to get into the new HTML5 history mechanics I got also this:
HTML5/jQuery: pushState and popState - deep linking?
so a completely different idea came to mind ...
I'm asking if there could be a possible way (I don't necessarily mean "easy") to build, or if there already exists something like a "framework" or similar, to build a web project that's able to completely avoid page reloads.... thus making intensive use of ajax and/or jquery etc. (I cite this because it's what I usually work with).
I think this could improve the "user experience" when browsing such kinds of site.

So my brother, Davey Crockett, is married.
I don't have a funny story to tell you about how the wedding was nearly a disaster, but then we did something clever and/or heart-warming and it all went on without a hitch. A pity because I could have worked that up into a screen play and sold it to Hollywood. (Honestly, the worst thing that happened the entire week is Davey regaling the children with all the tales about how mean Foo-Dog and I were to him as little kids, and half of those were even taller than Davey.)
I don't have any funny stories, because it did go off without a hitch. There wasn't any friction between our families; when our parents met hers for the first time, the moms hugged and the dads shared a beer.
The ceremony was simple, honest and down-to-earth. They got married in a crowd of their friends - literally, everyone stood in a big, huggy circle around them - under the open sky.
They came before the minister - an old and dear friend of theirs - by themselves, without any attendants. They didn't need any; they were entering this marriage as just the two of them, and they will spend all the many, many years of their marriage as just the two of them.
(They did recruit the Little Professor as a ringbearer at the last moment, when Davey realized the ring boxes didn't fit in his pocket; the Professor puffed up like a peacock over taking two steps and handing the boxes to his uncle before retreating back into the crowd.)
My brother is very, very tall and gangly, with dark coloring and the tendency to scowl often. She is petite and fair, a little bit shy and a lot sweet. The minister spoke about how alike they are - and he was right. In all the ways that are important, in their hearts and personalities, they are two peas in a pod.
They wrote their own vows. Glinda the Good Witch (my new sister-in-law and sister-of-the-heart) spoke about how she had prayed daily to find a good, honest man who would love her unconditionally, the same way God loved her. I assure you, once she finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Davey told a funny story - storytelling runs in the family, you know - about how he had first asked Glinda out, suggesting their coming together was "fate," but when he was unable to tell her the color of her eyes, she turned on her heel and left him flat.
Everyone had a good laugh ... and then Davey starting talking about how much Glinda means to him. My stalwart, stoic (not-so) little brother's voice wavered and cracked and his mouth worked like a fish on a hook, but he got the words out - he loves her, she means everything to him, she's the best thing that ever happened to him and his greatest luck was in meeting her.
The ceremony was short, but the line of well-wishers long, and the toasts lasted well into the night.
When we got home, Grandmama and I went through the hundreds of photos the Professor and Sassy Saint, my little paparazzi, had taken.
"They look so much in love," she sighed. "So, when do you think they'll have a baby?"
Baby Watch count down in three ... two ... one ...

Should sensitive data ever be passed via the query string as opposed to the postback? I realize that the query string will be encrypted, but are there other reasons to avoid passing data in the query string, such as shoulder surfing?
Therefore, if the query string is a simple link target in an HTML page, then sensitive data should be transmitted as part of a POST form, not encoded in the URL itself. With programmatic downloads (the AJAX way), this is much less of an issue.
In addition to the other answers here, the query string is also stored in the webserver's logfiles, HTTP Proxies, and can even be seen if SSL is used in conjunction with a SSL monitoring tools like Bluecoat.
No, sensitive data should not be sent via a HTTP "GET" and should always be sent via "POST"
One more reason you should use a POST is because GETs are more susceptible to CSRF attacks
Sensitive data should be passed either:
Three reasons:
Generally the rules that prevent cross-site request forgeries (CSRF also known as XSRF) only get triggered for POST requests. GET is the intended HTTP request method for retrieving data from a web server that has no other effect (besides benign stuff like populating a log file saying this page was requested); POST is the protocol for a user to send data to do some action (e.g., like order something from a website; transfer money from your bank account; change your password). That is a random CSRF token typically is required by most frameworks for GET requests, but will often be required for POST requests.
(And while Thomas Pornin and makerofthings7 touched on 1 and 2, respectively I've mentioned both previously in a somewhat similar question. )
If it can be avoided I always avoid it. It's just one more attack surface that should be left closed unless there's a legitimate need to allow data to be passed in the query string.
There's always also the off chance that you or a future developer won't properly filter/sanitize the data, and open the attack surface even wider. Even in an insecure app, if you accidentally allow for an injection, a malicious attacker and inject XSS and XSRF script into your DB and use your non-sensitive app to attack others, so it's just best to play it safe.
Shoulder surfing is another legitimate concern, depending on the environment. If your app is going to be used in a place where it's possible (a library, a cubicle that someone can look into, and office with a desk facing the wrong direction, etc) it's a potential concern. If the people using your app are all in rooms where the desk is pointed so that shoulder surfing isn't a problem, don't worry about it. but if you don't know that for sure, and you don't know that it will always be that way, it's a concern.

I was wondering if there is a Application where you can organize networks. I mean if you have installed some networks you have to note every pc's name, his ip-address and so on.
Is there a Application where you can manage it?
I saw the monitoring tools but that is not exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I didnt explain me well, after all my englis his not so good :)
For example if I install many different networks I write in a book how I configured them. I write pc-name ip-address ip-gateway ip-broadcast and so on for each network.
It will be great if I can do it in a program to organize it well, and for example it gives me a node view of the network.

Are you sure you provided your email for the Wootizen BOC Exchange?
Hey all. Unfortunately, I was hospitalized for a couple of days with complications regarding my terrible cold. Luckily, I am out of the hospital and can now focus long enough to continue some of the finishing touches on the exchange. First of all, let me apologize for not getting out names today as I was intending to. Names and addresses will go out tomorrow BY 5PM. Going through the spreadsheet, I noticed we still have about 10 people or so that have failed to provide information, or emails some how got lost in the vast interwebz. You are not in trouble by any means, this is just a warning that if your information is not sent before 3pm tomorrow, you will be eliminated from the exchange.
@drdulttl. @happyapple. @judurant, @coelho52872, @bkop. @mdrcoast, @plazma. @caffeine_dude, @cowboydann, @ritzter, @xarous
In the email that I will send each and everyone one of your personally you will receive the following.
(opt. paragraph)
If you have questions, email me!
14 Answers answer
Let me point out, that in no way did I mean to put several of you in the spotlight in a negative way. I should have emailed you days ago letting you know to make sure you have sent emails. And since this is woot, well I figured you would see the message easier here, than your email :)
Also, just FYI. We are currently at 75 BOCs to me sent which I think is pretty fantastic!
I will also take any suggestions about how to sort people and provide email addresses. Right now, I am just planning on grouping people up into pairs, keeping into consideration shipping distances to keep costs of Fedex/UPS relatively lower. However, I'm very up for other ideas!
Interwebz always be eatin' ma e-mailz!!!1
@studerc: I'm sure glad you cleared that up, negative spotlights and such. I just got done passive aggressively re-sending my email making sure to bold underline and enlarge the timestamp on my first email :3
@cowboydann: I noticed that. :) Well you are supposed to follow the rules. Rules which stated that AFTER reading the rules and regulations, THEN you send your mailing address. Not all my fault you sent it 2 weeks ago, just too eager!
Sending mine now. I was derailed by a medical issue my self and thought I'd lost my chance. If it's not too late, I'd still love to join in.
In spite of the Mayans, we are all still here. You do not need to worry about this right now. Relax, get better and enjoy Christmas. We can exchange after the first of the year. Please take your meds, go to bed and think about this later.
@maggie3052: Pfft. I'm fine. 2 days in the hospital is plenty to recover. I'm too excited for this to delay it even a few days let alone a week or more. Things will stay on schedule no worries here. :)
At least you're feeling fine! LOL! I'm glad you're at least feeling better! Amazing how something so small as a cold could have such nasty complications that it would land you in the hospital, huh!? It's why I hate colds with a passion! I usually go from cold to bronchitis, ear infection, eye infection (yea pink eye), or a sinus infection. Last year, I bypassed all those and got pneumonia instead! Weeeeee! Fortunately, it wasn't bad enough to land me in the hospital, I hate going there! Keep feeling better! I can't wait to get stuff ready to send to all my crapees!
Just an aside for CBD..
Uh, yeah, about that other package...um, ah, yeah I didn,t get your address either, @cowboydann: And that is what caused the incredibly loooong delay. But don't worry, I found a good psychic, and was able to get it that way. I am sure you will get it by presidents day at the latest. : )
@studerc: Piffle nothing! Being sick (and in the hospital!) takes surprisingly more energy to spring back from than most of us realize.
My son is in his 40's, so he's not as available for mom-lectures as he used to be, so I'm going to use you as a stand-in: get lots of rest, push fluids, take a mild analgesic if you have aches or a temperature, get lots of rest, again.
Oh my, that helps my mom-ish anxiety and concern feel ever much better! Thank you for listening; my son would thank you as well, if he knew.
@pickypickypicky: Shoot i never responded to this, Thanks a lot Miss Picky. When are we gonna do that chat you promised :P I'm feeling pretty saucy
@cowboydann: It's Ms. Picky, if you're saucy.
It'll be a few weeks, I am in sister & niece immersion, sweet!!!!
A few days before Christmas, they get a new phone book. At first the niece (7) thinks it is a gift someone sent. When mom explains what it is, instead of being disappointed, she said "I can't wait to call all of these people, and wish them Merry Christmas!"

Tech Zombies: 6 Technologies That Don't Know They're Dead
Some technologies are like a Tyrannosaurus running down the highway (without the awesome). They made sense once and now they're hideously out of place, carried only by momentum as they stumble toward their inevitable date with the sixteen-wheeler of Progress.
But, like the T-Rex, they seem intent on doing as much damage as they can until then.
#6. Phone Books
An incredible 615 million phone books were printed last year, most of which were used to replace missing legs on sofas or were ripped apart in Youtube videos.
About another million tons of these useless blocks will be shipped out to households and offices next year, where an increasing number will make a U Turn at the front porch and head to the landfill without ever being opened. William Rathke, an anthropologist who studies garbage, says you can "dig a trench through a landfill and you will see layers of phone books like geographical strata or layers of cake." Rathke, who despite digging through trash for a living has his Ph.D. from Harvard, claims phone books account for about 10-30% of the trash at your local dump.
In an era when you can fit many gigabytes onto a device small enough to be swallowed by a cat and even your local bait shop has a website, phone companies still want us to find phone numbers the same way we did 100 years ago: by dragging out a bulky, ten-pound list printed on dead trees.
Why are they still around?
Since you've probably never opened one, you may not realize that phone books are chock full of so many ads that they generated $13.9 billion last year. That sort of makes sense when you realize these ads are being force fed to every single household in America, like giant bricks of spam just appearing on your porch once a year. The only difference is you can click out of a pop up ad. Phone books weigh 10 lbs and have to be disposed of in special ways, to avoid becoming even more than 30% of your local landfill. Yes, it would appear that Satan works in advertising, and he's damn good at what he does.
But even though it reaches twice as many homes as the Super Bowl, does it get past the doorstep of those homes anymore? Are there really $13.9 billion worth of people using them? Well yes, if you believe the phone companies, and the people they've paid to conduct surveys. And in an industry with no sales figures (because nobody asked for the damn things in the first place) how else are you going to track who actually uses them?
Well there is one way. You could go hunting around in landfills to see if the phone books were thrown away all at once right when everyone got them, creating entire layers of phone book in the earth. You know, like a cake? But who's bat shit crazy enough to do something like that?
#5. MP3 Players
No sooner than we celebrate the death of the CD, its killer may be the next one in the grave. We're talking about the iPod (and its countless imitators) which is seeing falling sales for the first time in its short life.
But don't feel sorry for Apple, the reason for the MP3 player slide is that cell phones (including their own iPhone) make perfectly good MP3 players. Selling someone an iPod now is like selling a feces gun to a monkey; he doesn't need it.
Why are they still around?
MP3 players hang around for the same reason digital cameras and GPS navigators hang around; all those things are available on phones, but the standalone devices still do it a little better.
For instance, there are iPods that can hold up to 40,000 songs now (which we believe is more songs than actually exist) and the iPhone "only" has room for about 3,500. But since the average user hasn't stolen anywhere near that many songs anyway, fewer and fewer are seeing the point of carrying around a separate device.
It's true the iPod still has some fashion appeal, and Apple continues to crank out versions with new features (including the iPod Touch, which seems to have been designed as an iPhone that you can't call people with). But it's a hopeless battle, since some of us just don't have the extra pocket. That won't get any better with time, since experts believe spandex jumpsuits are the future.
As processors and memory get exponentially smaller and smaller, the cell phone will swallow up every device in the home. By 2020 you won't even need a separate computer or laptop. By 2040 cell phones will be in charge of the planet, and our job will just be to tote them around from place to place so they can have meetings with each other.
#4. DVDs
After ten years we're finally seeing dropping DVD sales. Considering movies can already be downloaded onto set-top boxes on a pay-per-view basis, and can be downloaded over the internet on a pay-nothing-per-view basis, it's a wonder it took this long. Any economists reading may recognize that combination of risk factors and symptoms the same way doctors recognize coughing, shortness of breath and a constellation of funny-shapes on a chest X-ray.
Companies like Sony would like to think the dip is due to people getting all excited about Bluray, but while Bluray sales have inched along, movie downloads have doubled.
Meanwhile Netflix has made a deal with Microsoft so that anyone who owns an XBox 360 can get a subscription to download Netflix movies, physical media be damned.
Why are they still around?
Box sets of TV shows have inexplicably injected huge profits into DVD over the last few years. Even though the shows are free to watch in rerun form and, if you're not happy with that, rips are available four nanoseconds before a show finishes airing. But loyal fans hold out for the official box set. If you're new to this human thing called "capitalism", corporations interpret "loyalty" the way a prisoner might interpret "dropping the soap".
For example, The Sopranos box set planned for later this year will cost four hundred dollars. This officially makes the studio better at criminal extortion than the characters on the DVDs. Unless they include a special "real ending" as an extra, we're guessing it won't be worth it.
The big question at this point is if Bluray ever takes off, since it's offering something that can't be downloaded (or not easily anyway--an HD movie takes an entire day to download on most connections). So until our internet connections improve, sellers of movies on disc will have to depend on the market segment willing to pay to see every speck of dust on Batman's suit.

[design factors]
[over design]
Engineers use design and safety factors in sizing and
specifying instrumentation or major process equipment, such as
pumps, valves and compressors. Design factors are applied to
cover the uncertainty in piping and equipment calculations.
Such practices can contribute to over-design and
can negatively affect performance of the process unit,
resulting in higher costs. Several case histories investigate
how over-design factors have caused problems in the operations
of pumps, heat exchangers and control valves.

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

I've made a poorly written, yet fully functioning website, in (shock, horror, shock) PHP. Everything works as expected, I've implemented the necessary security measures: http://php.net/manual/en/security.php and phpsec.org/projects/guide/
It's poorly written in the sense that it's a bunch of functions thrown together that do something...oddly enough I was consistent with the naming conventions.
Would you release something you were not happy with, but worked?
I would also like to point out that I don't collect much user information (username, email and password) is about it -- but it's not really the security part I'm worried about, it's the spaghetti code I've written.

Hot-Shooting Propels Trojans to 97-58 Victory over Mars HillFebruary 17, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – After facing two of the highest shooting percentages Anderson University women's basketball has ever gone up against in its last two games, the Trojans countered with their highest shooting percentage of the season en route to a 97-58 triumph over South Atlantic Conference opponent Mars Hill Monday evening at the Abney Athletic Center.
The victory snaps a two-game losing skid and completes the season sweep over the Lions after notching a 78-71 win on Jan. 15 in the High Country. Also with the win, Anderson improves to 13-11 on the year and an even 9-9 in SAC play. The Lions drop to 6-16 overall and 5-13 in the league.
The depth of the Trojans shined as the AU bench outscored Mars Hill for the game, 68-58. Three substitutes led the way in scoring as senior Emily Willoughby connected on three 3-pointers which led to 15 points to go along with a career-high seven rebounds. Following the sharpshooter was sophomore guard Madison Floyd, who fell a point shy of tying her career-high finishing with 14. Junior center Jaclyn Moore went a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor setting a new career-high with 13 points.
"Our bench did a tremendous job with continuing to build the lead and play tough defense," Anderson head coach Jimmy Garrity said. "I was really proud of our effort tonight, we played a total game today from start to finish."
Junior Lesley Woods added nine points and five rebounds, while playing just seven minutes for the game. Sophomore Katie Davis dropped in eight points while freshman Nakia Young chipped in seven points with a game-high five assists. As a team, the Black and Gold shot 55.7 percent (39-for-70) from the floor, marking the first time this year AU has shot better than 50 percent for a game.
The Trojans out-rebounded the visitors 49-30 as Willoughby and junior guard Sierra Simpson grabbed seven rebounds apiece. Moore pulled down six rebounds while Floyd corralled five boards, including four on the offensive side. The positive rebounding margin breaks a streak of five straight games the Trojans have been out-rebounded.
"Our players did a great job following the scouting report, especially on the defensive side. We did a great job sharing and taking care of the basketball," Garrity said. "I was really happy with our post players; they really demanded the ball and finished plays."
Mars Hill was paced by Ansley Ricker with 13 points and Autumn Ward with nine points and seven rebounds. The Lions finished the contest shooting 32.1 percent (18-for-56) from the floor and 6-for-15 (40 percent) from behind the 3-point arc.
After getting off to slow starts to begin its last two games, Anderson jumped out of the gate in a hurry, netting the first seven points of the game, highlighted by two baskets from Woods. Moments later, AU recorded its first double digit advantage at the 13-2 mark when Simpson dropped in a quick lay-up.
With 9:31 left in the opening period, Anderson's lead became a 22-point advantage as Floyd connected on her lone trey of the opening half. Four minutes later, the Trojans took a 31-point lead when Moore recorded a lay-in after a miss from Simpson, bringing the score to 31-5 with 6:55 left in the first period.
As Anderson took its largest lead of the half at 47-12, MHU chipped into the deficit, eventually cutting the score to 51-23 heading into halftime. The 51 points scored by the Trojans was the largest total for a first half this season, beating out the original high of 49 points scored against Brevard on Nov. 20.
The offensive attack continued for the home side, eventually taking a 40-point lead when Willoughby buried a 3-pointer from the corner, taking the score to 77-37 at the 11:20 mark. Willoughby, who entered the game just 1-for-9 from beyond the arc in her last four games, put up her highest 3-point percentage since making 4-of-5 against Carson-Newman on Jan. 29.
The Trojans recorded their largest lead of the game at the 5:58 mark when sophomore Jennifer Monroe knocked in a free throw, sending the tally to 88-45. Monroe, who saw 12 minutes on the floor, finished the contest with seven points and three rebounds.
Following the free throw, Anderson would receive its next points from two-sport athlete Tinsley Hallman for her first points of the season after scoring a lay-in while being fouled in the process. Hallman was unable to convert the traditional 3-point play, but finished the game with four points and two rebounds.
The 39-point win marks the largest margin of victory for the Trojans this season and the third time AU has won by more than 30 points. Since joining the conference prior to the 2010-11 season, Anderson is now 7-1 against Mars Hill.
"Having to play three games in five days with two of them on the road, it was good that we were able to share so many minutes throughout the team," Garrity said. "We are a tough team to play when we can get it going from both the inside and the outside."
The Black and Gold will have a quick turnaround as they hit the road to the Volunteer State to face Carson-Newman. Tip-off from Holt Fieldhouse is slated for 6 p.m.

Pregnancy: When to Go to the Hospital
In This Article:
If you're not in laborAnswers to the above Questions (or Why They Are Important)
Believe it or not, the medical personnel do have valid reasons for asking you all these questions. Here is the information they can glean from your answers.
- The doctor wants to rule out any problems or potential complications that could occur with the labor and delivery. Be very specific about everything that has happened to you thus far.
- The number of contractions will give them some clue about how close you are to delivery.
- Again, they will be able to tell if you're close to delivery. Labor and delivery can be straightforward or extremely complicated. The doctor is always looking for any potential signs of problems.
- Sometimes, you may think you've broken your bag of water, but you haven't. You might just have urine leaking out from the pressure, which is normal. When most women break their bag of water, it's an obvious thing. You'll look down and a pool of water will be under you, and you can't do a thing to stop it. However, some women only leak a small amount of fluid when their water breaks. This might occur in cases where the amniotic fluid volume was low before the bag broke, or the baby's head could have sealed off the leakage and most of the fluid is still behind the baby in the uterus. It's important to know if the bag of water has broken because there is an increased risk for infection and there is less fluid cushioning the baby inside the uterus. Usually, if the water has broken, the doctor will deliver the baby within one to two days.
- Bleeding might indicate a problem with the placenta or in most cases, if the bleeding is minor, it could just indicate dilation of the cervix.
- The mucous plug sort of acts like a loose cork in the neck of a bottle, the neck of the bottle being the cervix in this case. As the cervix dilates or softens, the cork tends to fall out. What does it look like? Doctors say it kind of looks like snot. It's mucousy, thick and/or runny, stringy, and sometimes pink-tinged. Some women mistake it for their bag of water breaking.
- Usually, there is a perception that the baby is moving around less than it was, which is probably due to the fact that there is less available room for the baby. This is because the amniotic fluid, which keeps the uterus from squeezing the baby too tightly, tends to decrease towards your due date.
After you and the baby have received a thorough evaluation by the doctors and nurses, and it is determined that you are doing fine, but you're not in labor, then you will likely be sent home and given directions as to when to come back. OK, this may be the lowest point in your whole life. All that excitement and phone calls to assorted friends and family for nothing. Go home with your tail between your legs and rest up, because be assured that you'll be going back to the hospital sooner or later.
Occasionally, if you're just on the verge of going into labor, the doctor may advise you to stay in the hospital and walk for several hours, up and down the hallways, hoping that it will induce labor. Often, physical activity and gravity (and the baby's head bouncing up and down on the cervix) can push a woman over the edge into labor if she is on the verge. After a period of walking, the doctor will recheck your cervix and see if you've made any further progress. If you have, you'll be admitted into the hospital with a diagnosis of labor, and eventually a baby should make its appearance.
If your cervix hasn't changed, then the medical personnel feel more reassured that you won't deliver in the very near future (i.e., on the highway going home), so they'll send you home. Let's face it your doctor would feel pretty bad if she turned on the news and found out you'd delivered on the highway. Other factors that may cause a doctor to follow this "walking" procedure are if the patient lives far away (ergo, might not make it back in time) or if she's had several babies in the past (subsequent births tend to go quickly, leaving no time for the drive back and forth).
If you are sent home, the doctor will advise you to continue monitoring the progress of your labor. Here are a few precautions to watch out for:
- The contractions worsen compared to what they were when you went into the hospital.
- You suspect your bag of water has broken.
- You have any unusual bleeding.
- You have the perception that your baby isn't moving around well.

The group alleges that had EPA stayed within its statutory authority and followed proper procedures, it would have waited until ongoing E15 testing on engines and fuel systems was completed before allowing the use of E15. Then it would have found that E15 is not safe for numerous vehicles.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) and other groups
have appealed to the US Supreme Court a lower-court decision
rejecting a challenge to a grant of partial waivers for
use of the E15 ethanol-gasoline blend, the trade
group said on Thursday.
The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) waivers had been approved by a D.C.
Circuit Court, said Bob Greco, APIs group director
for downstream and industry operations.
Weve filed this petition because the D.C.
Circuit incorrectly concluded that none of the 17 petitioners
had standing to challenge the E15 partial waivers not
the engine manufacturers whose products will run on this new
fuel blend, not the petroleum industry who must undertake
massive infrastructure changes to accommodate the blend and
meet the renewable fuel mandate, and not the food producers who
now face significantly greater competition in the commodities
market for corn, the conventional feedstock for ethanol."
The API says that had EPA stayed within its statutory
authority and followed proper procedures, it would have waited
until ongoing E15 testing on engines and fuel systems was
completed before allowing its use.
"Then it would have discovered that E15 is not safe for
millions of vehicles now on the road," said Greco.
Although we hope the court will resolve the E15
problem, we also believe our experience here represents only
one of many underlying problems with the Renewable Fuel
Standard, so we are calling on Congress to repeal the

Centrally planned economies fail because no one is smart enough to plan for all contingencies. If we want to dabble in central planning (like the RFS) we need to be prepared to make course corrections when technical isues arise. Now that gasoline demand is expected to decline due to another government program the ethanol mandate should be changed from a voulmetric mandate to a marketshare mandate. Now that science tells us E15 harms millions of cars, the only time we should use more than 10% ethanol in gasoline should be in flexfuel vehicles designed to run E85. Because American consumers are too smart to buy E85 at the current price differentials a compromise would be to eliminate the Federal gasoline tax on each gallon of ethanol used in E85.Cellulosic ethanol technology simply has not developed as quickly as planned. I suggest we set its mandate at the prior year's production volume and let other ethanol technologies compete for the remaining E10 and E85 ethanol market.Renewable diesel technology that was just starting up when EISA 2007 became law has proven to work. World capacity is nearing 1 billion gallons per year. Unfortunately the renewable fuel labeling laws that fit ethanol and biodiesel are hampering this renewable hydrocarbon's entry into the market and need to be changed to accomodate a fungible, stable, NOx and GHG reducing fuel.
Questionable is not just the food/feed source of the alcohol. At 15 percent, the alcohol is hygroscopic enough to draw water in pipelines, storage tanks, fuel delivery systems, and corrode everything metal. It shouldn't take upper courts of law to recognize this hazard.
V.S. Clift
Use of alcohol derived from potential food stuff should not be allowed! It's use in engines is also counter productive and does not lower CO2 discharge in most cases.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Two people were taken to the hospital after a car went off a road and struck a fence Tuesday near Tonganoxie, the Kansas Highway Patrol reported.
The crash was reported at 8:07 a.m. north of Conley Road on 246th Street.
A 26-year-old Tonganoxie man was driving north in a 2006 Ford passenger car. The vehicle went off the road on the east side, according to a KHP report.
The driver and his passenger, a 6-year-old girl, were transported to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.
The driver had been wearing a seat belt, and the girl was secured in a booster seat at the time of the wreck, according to the report.

MARSH, Reverend Dr. Robert Wilson, 82, of California, Maryland, a lifelong Presbyterian minister, chaplain and musician, died on December 4, 2012, at the Charlotte Hall Veterans Home in Charlotte Hall, Maryland.
Born on March 13, 1930, in Holiday's Cove (now part of the city of Weirton), West Virginia, he was the son of the late George Harlan and Martha Wilson Marsh.
Graduating from Weir High School in 1948, he was the first in his family to attend college, working many hours at the Weirton Steel Corporation to fund his education. He graduated cum laude from Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania, in 1953 with a Bachelor of Arts double major in History and Politics.

Raised a Presbyterian, he then began to prepare for his life's work, realizing his calling to the ministry driven by his strong faith, keen interest in theology, and innate desire to do good for humanity. He subsequently earned three advanced degrees in support thereof. First a Master's of Divinity from Western Theological Seminary (now called Pittsburgh Theological Seminary) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1956. Then, while serving as an ordained minister, he attended Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, where he received a Master's of Theology in 1963 and Doctorate in Ministry in 1973. From 1966 to 1967, he studied French and The Reformation at the Universite' de Neuchatel, Switzerland. During this special year, he met his future wife, Sigrun Marlis, in West Berlin while traveling throughout Europe.
Dr. Marsh proudly and passionately served as a pastor for more than 50 years. Ordained in 1956, he began his career in Pea Ridge, Arkansas, thereafter also serving congregations in Texas, Maryland, Louisiana, Ohio and West Virginia.
While at his second pastorate in Ft. Worth, Texas, Dr. Marsh attended a prayer breakfast with local clergy at the Hotel Texas with President John and First Lady Jackie Kennedy, just a few hours before his assassination in Dallas. His longest pastorate was at the First Presbyterian Church of St. Mary's County (now called Patuxent Presbyterian), where he served from 1977 until his retirement in 1995. During his time in Maryland, Dr. Marsh, an avid musican, pianist, and hymn-writer, who loved to lead the congregation in song, launched an annual community music series at the church, bringing prominent musicians and choral groups to St. Mary's County, including the U.S. Army Chorus and U.S. Navy Sea Chanters. Most notably, he was the visionary, inspiration, and force behind the relocation of the church from its original site in Town Creek to a much more visible and accessible location on MD Route 4 between Three Notch Road and the Thomas Johnson (a.k.a. Solomons) bridge connecting St. Mary's and Calvert Counties. After much research and review, he led the relocation team in their selection of an esteemed architect who created the beautiful, open-air design. Dr. Marsh boldy and successfully led the congregation in this endeavor, despite its controversial nature, and the church continues to thrive and grow today. Following retirement, Dr. Marsh continued to work as an Interim Minister, guiding a number of churches including St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Leesville, LA, Longs Run Church in Calcutta, OH, First Presbyterian Church in St. Clairsville, OH, First Westminster Presbyterian Church in Steubenville, OH, Hill Top Presbyterian Church in Toronto, OH, as well as his home church, Cove Presbyterian, in Weirton, WV, during the selection process and smooth transition between permanent ministers. Dr. Marsh was thrilled to have the opportunity to "go home" for over 10 years to the Upper Ohio Valley region he loved to continue serving as a seasoned minister in this important capacity.
Dr. Marsh was a Chaplain in the Army Reserve and the Texas and Maryland Army National Guards for 30 years, retiring in 1990 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was called up to active duty by President Kennedy in 1961, during the Berlin Crisis and served as a Chaplain for the 49th Armored Division at Fort Polk, Louisiana. His commitment to serve his country and fellow soldiers was something of which he was very proud.
Dr. Marsh was a longtime Rotarian, active in a number of clubs where he resided, including Lexington Park where he was named a Paul Harris Fellow. He served on the Boards of St. Mary's Hospice and the Pastoral Counseling Center. As a hymn-writer, he authored more than 20, with a number of them published in religious periodicals. He also enjoyed poetry and civil war history.
He was an amateur genealogist and traced the earliest Marsh settler to colonial America, his great, great, great, great grandfather, Thomas Marsh, who settled in Baltimore County in the mid-1700s and whose beautiful stone residence, the Eagles Nest, still stands today and which he visited on a number of occasions. He also confirmed the participation of several family members in multiple Civil War battles. As well, he was consistently involved in and/or led the Marsh- Atkinson family reunion, which met annually for over 100 years.
He is survived by his wife, Sigrun Marlis Marsh of California, Maryland, two children, Kirsten E. Marsh of New York, New York, Bruce R. Marsh (Paola Piscioneri) of Alexandria, Virginia, and a grandson, Rowan W. Marsh.
The family will hold a visitation from 2-5 p.m. at the Brinsfield Funeral Home, 22955 Hollywood Road, Leonardtown, MD 20650 on Sunday, December 9, 2012. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. at the Patuxent Presbyterian Church, 23421 Kingston Creek Road, California, MD 20619 on Monday, December 10, 2012. The service will be conducted by Pastor Mike Jones.
An interment service with military honors will be held at the New Cumberland Cemetery in New Cumberland, West Virginia on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made either to the Music Ministry of the Patuxent Presbyterian Church, Attn: Dr. Robert W. Marsh Memorial Music Fund, 23421 Kingston Creek Road, California, Maryland, 20619, or the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, "In Memory of Robert Wilson Marsh," 1359 Broadway, Suite 1509, New York, New York, 10018.

Hi Kidraver
Unfortunately I haven't looked into photographing car interiors but can recommend a view of a Landrover Discovery by Will Pearson (willpearson.co.uk mods if i'm breaking any rules pointing to a site then please delete), he does 360's and Gigapixel images........absolutely superb. John Houghton, who's a regular on this site and has given input on this thread has another excellent site with tutorials too.
I'm currently in the process of emailing a few places (churches etc) to get more material for my site.
Anyway, if I can help, I will, as I too need lots of help/info off the more knowledgeable on here.

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to buy NN4 with RD16 for shooting multirow panos mostly: landscapes, buildings exteriors, skylines. Spherical panoramas is an option, but not the goal.
My gear is Canon 5d MKII, Canon 16-35mm II, Sigma 50mm, Canon 90mm TS-E, Canon 70-200mm f4 IS (I know about 100mm limit but I'm going to shoot on 70-100mm focal length)
My questions are:
1. Do I need to buy EZ-leveler if I'm not going to shoot 360 panos, will it be useful for my goals?
2. Is it possible to use 70-200 lens for single row panos, will be the Lower Rail length enough for this lens? According to Entrance Pupil Database L2 for Canon EF 70-200 f/4.0 @70mm is 92mm,
then L1+L2 is 130,5mm and will not be supported by NN4? Does it mean that it's impossible to use this lens with NN4 or my calculations are wrong?

This question already has an answer here:
- Is code ownership a code smell? 5 answers
For which issues is it right to edit the code written by a co-worker? For which issues is it wrong?
This question already has an answer here:
For which issues is it right to edit the code written by a co-worker? For which issues is it wrong?
marked as duplicate by gnat, Ixrec, Snowman, Adam Zuckerman, MetaFight Apr 24 at 15:44
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
When it's right
When the edit improves the functionality of the program or makes the code itself more readable / maintainable.
When it's wrong
When the edit harms the functionality of the program or serves no purpose apart from providing the editor with busywork.
Who is the owner of the code? The company or the developer?
If the owner is (as usual) the company, there should be no difference in editing code written by you or by a coworker (unless a specific code maintenance policy).
Editing one other's code should be happening as the code evolves and should be encouraged as a practice so that you have collective code ownership.
The code should be owned by the whole team; having code that is only edited by (and therefore only really understood by) one developer is a bad idea. If you aren't in the code making changes yourself, you probably don't understand it. Waiting until the other developer leaves the company or gets sick is the wrong time to learn the code.
Having detailed unit tests in place and using source control should mean this practice is low risk.
Encouraging the whole team to follow Uncle Bob's "boy scout rule" and always trying to check in the code a little cleaner than you checked it out is a good way to ensure that the code stays clean over time and doesn't devolve into an unreadable, unmaintainable mess.
The only downside to this is if this practice turns into edit wars, where developers are constantly reverting one another's changes. This is probably a sign that you haven't decided on a coding standard for whatever is causing the edit war, so this would be a good opportunity to create one.
I would say it is right when what you are working on requires the change. It is right when you have been assigned to fix a bug and the bug is in that code.
If the code has nothing to do with what you are working on, but needs to be fixed, then bring it up to the team lead and let him assign a priority to fixing it and assign a person (it may not be you) to fix it. If he says not to spend your time on it, then it is worng to fix at that point. You are being paid to work on what you have been assigned to work on not what you want to work on. By all means bring it up that it needs to be changed, but priority setting is the manager's job not yours.
It is wrong to change working code just because of a personal preference.
It's wrong when you don't understand what problem the code was designed to fix or even understand the code. Just because it doesn't work for your needs doesn't mean you won't break something if you muck with it. If you need to change it to make what you are doing work, then go talk to the oreginal programmer about why he did what he did and what might be affected if you change it to meet your needs. NEVER change code you don't understand unless it is not working. This doesn't mean you don't ever fix the code, it just means that until you take the time to understand it thoroughly, you don't change it, especially if it is code already in production.
This depends on which phase the product is in. If the product is already stable and already released I would not make any changes that aren't needed unless there was a big change needed to really ugly code.
I wouldn't nitpick about coding formatting. You should refactor when code is overly complex and needs to be changed anyway or is causing problems and never seems to work right.
Like stackexchange or wikis, you should be ready to share your code and allow anyone to modify it as long as the changes fits in the global design and goals. But ask yourself a question : why should someone have to modify someone else's code if it's not for debugging ? Have you clearly cut your project into pieces sufficiently to allow parallelization of coding through multiple programmers at the same time ?
If, at the same time, for different functionalities, you are forced to modify the same code as your co-worker, there is a code entanglement and bad "separation of concerns". You should revise your design to allow each programmer to work on different parts of the software code base.

In search of the honest political commentator
Noting that a great many politicos have confidently declared that Obamacare was doomed to inglorious failure over the past few weeks, months, and years, our own E. J. Dionne opens his new column with a question that sounds almost quaint:
Is there any accountability in American politics for being completely wrong? Is there any cost to those who say things that turn out not to be true and then, when their fabrications or false predictions are exposed, calmly move on to concocting new claims as if they had never made the old ones?
It's a very valid question, of course. In fact I would say it's the question that a great many prominent people should be expected to answer before they go on to give their opinions about anything new. What makes it quaint is that we know that the answer is "no." No, there is no accountability, certainly not in American political opinion writing.
We know this because a number of Dionne's colleagues at the Washington Post and his fellow opinion columnists at the New York Times -- to say nothing of those who write for openly propagandistic outlets like the Wall Street Journal op-ed page or the Weekly Standard -- have demonstrated time and again that no concerns about accountability constrain them.
Of course, Dionne must know this; he writes for the Washington Post, which also employs Jennifer Rubin and George Will and Charles Krauthammer -- to name a few columnists who have been caught deliberately misrepresenting facts and/or claiming to hold opinions that contradict previously stated principles for obviously partisan reasons. These things get noticed and called out by other, more honest commentators, and eventually Fred Hiatt, the Washington Post's opinion editor, is asked to comment. And Hiatt, when he responds, waves away concerns about accountability (by which I mean documented cases of out-and-out wrongness) as impertinent attacks on the people he supposedly pays to offer their well informed, carefully considered, intelligently argued opinions to readers in the nation's capital and throughout the country. His defenses, and those of other negligent gatekeepers like him, depend on an interpretation of "opinion" that makes accuracy irrelevant.
Remember when Bill Keller used his column to pick apart the way a particular woman with cancer was coping with her illness, and it turned out that, in addition to insensitivity and illogic, his column was built on premises that were mostly wrong? The most the New York Times bothered to do about that was append a correction about one of those incorrect facts (the incidental one, not the ones that completely invalidated his "argument"), leaving their poor "public editor," Margaret Sullivan, to weakly acknowledge that "As a columnist, Mr. Keller – by definition – has a great deal of free rein.... It's a columnist's job, in short, to have an opinion and to speak it freely." Is it not also their job to base that opinion on accurate facts, or to speak it honestly and intelligently as well as freely? You would think so, since anybody can speak their opinions "freely." If we're paying someone to form opinions and granting them a prominent position from which to speak, it should go without saying that their opinions merit greater scrutiny pre-publication and greater accountability afterward. But they don't. Officially, they don't.
So keep that in mind when you're reading Maureen Dowd or whoever: Nobody reads those columns to make sure they stand up, or make sense, or accurately represent the facts they allude to. Being an opinion columnist means never having to worry that anyone will challenge ("intrude on," as Sullivan put it) your published opinions. "By definition"!
One of the reasons I love Alex Pareene's annual Hack List so much is that he writes it in part to remind us all of this basic fact about American political discourse. Here's his 2012 writeup explaining why "the Washington Post has the worst opinion section of any major newspaper in the country." He concluded:
The Post opinion section exemplifies the most aggravating feature of the American punditocracy: that there are simply never any professional consequences for being constantly wrong or dishonest.
No professional consequences doesn't just mean that newspapers don't run retractions, or get back to ("intrude on") George Will with questions like "Are you aware that you're misrepresenting the conclusions of that climate-change study?" It also means that people like Will and Krauthammer and Peggy Noonan -- and not just columnists, but people whose inconsistency is more alarming, like say John McCain -- keep getting booked on "serious" TV shows to offer their opinions as though we can all count on their sober wisdom.
When Jonathan Chait wrote about Charles Krauthammer's unacknowledged reversal on judicial filibusters, he said, "Intellectual consistency is a basic value for political commentators.... Writing columns about politics isn't that easy of a job, but one part of the job that is really easy is 'not being a giant partisan hack.'" He's right about the second part (he suggests a Google-based best practice for opinionators that should help), but is he right about the first part? Is intellectual consistency a basic value for commentators? In terms of self-respect, absolutely, but not, I would say, in terms of professional status.
One of the reasons I admire Dionne and value his opinions is that he keeps behaving as though accountability were part of the job description, even when the opposite is very clearly true. He knows that the answer to his opening questions is no. But he also knows that it's an important question, or it would be in an ideal world, and the Obamacare "debate" is just the latest manifestation of that fact.
But enough negativity. E. J. Dionne is not the only worthwhile political opinionator, though (for obvious reasons) he's the newspaper columnist most consistently on my radar. Jonathan Chait is someone who obviously values intellectual consistency and basic accountability, which is a big part of why I find him so worth reading and citing. In the published-in-the-paper category, Ross Douthat strikes me as someone who strives to hold himself to a high standard of integrity (sometimes, I would say, to the detriment of his ability to articulate a straightforward argument). I don't always agree with him, but I do respect him. Who else deserves a mention? Which commentators seem to take their jobs seriously and hold themselves accountable, even when they don't have to? Whose opinions do you trust, or at least respect, and why?

I don't read them through the professional-colleague filter, so maybe this isn't a credible list to someone in the biz. As a consumer, though, I find that they come across as rational and objective, willing to accept facts that complicate their preferences, and their points seem well-argued. I can't claim that they hold themselves accountable - I don't read them frequently or closely enough to know for certain. But if the standard is, "keeps behaving as though accountability were part of the job description" then I believe these writers come across as adhering to it.
David Broder used to publish a mea culpa column at the end of every year. Perhaps once a year isn't sufficient, but the self-examination was admirable.
I do think there is something to the notion that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of a little mind. I think we should let opinion columnists change their minds over time, but perhaps they owe their readers an explanation when they do - and we can hope that it's more compelling than, "Now my guys are in power so I want them to do it."
Nicholas Kristof of the NYT, Paul Krugman, Lawrence O'Donnell formerly of the LA Times.
Krugman explicitly admits it when his predictions have been wrong, and he holds other economists' feet to the fire when they don't. They usually ignore him, of course. Even when the economy has blown up in their faces.
As to the Hiatt opinion, I hope it doesn't reflect that of his new boss Jeff Bezos. The Post used to be a very reliable paper.
Thomas Edsall in the NY Times is the best op-ed writer I can think of, hands down. He blends sophisticated analysis with wide readability. He's never shrill, and his MO is exploratory rather than explanatory.
I know he can be rage-inducing, but I also loved Stanley Fish's column in the Times, while it lasted.
Ta-Nahesi Coates is always lucid and forceful.
I wish I could think of a woman off the top of my head, but none springs to mind. Shame on me, and shame on these news institutions for not doing a better job nurturing them.
I should also say in defense of *part* of what Hiatt said that, yes, it's quite possible, even usual, for two different people to start off from different premises and then reach conclusions which contradict each other, and this alone does not imply that at least one of them is lying. It only implies that one of them is wrong. People can honestly disagree, though you wouldn't know it from the plethora of snarky accusations of hypocrisy and lying the blogs.
As to consistency over a life-time, *everyone* makes mistakes, and God-forbid that people should not admit their errors! Sometimes -- no, often -- inconsistency is a virtue, and the admission of error is humility. What makes so many people cling to their old opinions? I fear it's a natural inclination having to do with from tribal allegiance and tribal thinking. Tribes rarely change their minds, and they don't permit inconsistency in tribe members.
reminds me of the study I read a few days ago saying that even if any group of people were presented with objectively provable facts, their previous perception would not allow them to change their minds...much less "acknowledge the difference" (?)
John W, --
Some Piagetians showed years ago that a goodly number of people are not bothered by inconsistencies. Take the classic example of Walt Whitman's, "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself". This is in a poem which many consider to be a very, very great one. (I think Whitman's case is an example off what Zaehner calls "panenhenic mysticism", a sort of temporary madness.)
Religion News Service reports that Anti-Semitice incidents continue to decline in the US. While the Los Angelos Times reports that: "Attacks on Jews show a troubling increase Although overall anti-Semitic incidents declined 19% nationwide from 2012 to 2013, there were 31 assaults on Jews last year compared to 17 in 2012.
Depends on what myth you prefer.
Mark Shields and David Brooks paired on PBS Newshour.
Paul Krugman is very opinionated but now and again he corrects himself or adds new info.
John Cassidy of the New Yorker. Good on economics.
James Stewart at the NYTimes on Saturday. Business columnist who shares the spot with Floyd Norris on Friday. Both seem straight up and accurate to me.
Gerry Seib and David Wessel of the WSJ are both good; Wessel is good on TV as well.
A NYT op-ed notice guaranteed to produce pure euphoria:
"Maureen Dowd is off today."
Ann Olivier,
Consistency means acknowledging changes rather than clinging to old opinions. The problem is when people change their reasoning solely based on what conclusion they want to reach.
From a Catholic stance:
John Allen (usually admits when he is off the mark)
Arroyo (EWTN) - just the opposite; never admit to being wrong because he is never wrong
Wm. Donohue (same category as Arroyo)
Most diocesan catholic papers - bishops write editorials and like George Wil, etc. are never held to account for what they spew in their catholic rags
If you love words you have to like Maureen Down. She is acerbic. But sometimes it is the only way to get people's attention. Considering that both parties lie constantly she is really essential. The White House and other politicos read her column religiously. Hoping that she ignored them. No one can bring deceivers to their knees better than she can. Very few can turn a phrase or have such cogency in their language.
I mean who else quotes "Juvenal" and Dick Cheney in the same paragraph? When she nails someone it is for real. Though few will admit it, she expresses what many feel.
Whatever you may think of her, there are few more competent.
Maureen Dowd.
I haven't seen Kathleen Parker's name. She is usually fair and reasonable, alhough I don't always agree with her.
David Brooks and Michael Gershon are always even-handed and civil. Robert Reich and Paul Krugman are often lopsided in their arguments, but most of what they say is verifiable.
I read Jonah Goldberg and Charles Krauthammer for penance, and George Will for his three-dollar words and in spite of his sophistry and convoluted reasoning.
Speaking of pundits who aren't wise, Bill O'Reilly was on the Tonight Show tonight. Jimmie Fallon asked him if he's a religious man. O'Reilly replied, "No, I'm not a religious man. But I go to church on Sundays. I can't get behind on atonning".
I still miss Molly Ivins. She was funny but not mean-spirited.

WEIRTON - Fifth and sixth-grade pupils at St. Paul Catholic School will present a play with an important message, while also helping those in need.
"The Christmas Shoe Tree" will be presented at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the school. There is no admission cost, but the school is asking for those attending to consider the donation of a pair of shoes to benefit the less fortunate throughout the world.
"'The Christmas Shoe Tree' was written specifically to go with the Soles 4 Souls shoe drive," teacher Meredith Allen said.

SHOE DRIVE — Fifth and sixth-grade students at St. Paul Catholic School in Weirton are preparing for a production of "The Christmas Shoe Tree," to take place Tuesday. As part of the play, the school is asking for donations of shoes, which will be sent to those in need around the world as part of the Soles 4 Souls shoe drive. - Craig Howell
Soles 4 Souls collects new and used shoes and ships them around the world to areas where they are in need, such as small, impoverished villages in South America, Asia and Africa.
Allen explained they will accept any type of shoe, new or used, as long as it is part of a matching pair.
"Most of them go to orphanages," she said.
According to the organization's website, found online at www.giveshoes.org, any new shoes collected - or used shoes in good condition - are given for free to those in need, including people who cannot otherwise afford shoes of their own, or those who have suffered through natural disasters.
Used shoes, especially those not appropriate for crisis relief, are collected in an effort to establish and support micro-enterprise movements to help provide a source of revenue for people in underprivileged areas of the world.
To date, the school has collected approximately 500 pairs of shoes for the program.
"They're still coming in," Allen said.
She said the pupils are excited for the production, saying the play itself has a great message.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Sunset Zoo's trails are filled with babies this spring: a one-month old chimpanzee, an eight-month old colobus monkey and the newest addition, a young bobcat kitten. The animal is a little over five months old and came to the Zoo through the Milford Nature Center Wildlife Rehabilitation Program. For the last two months the orphaned kitten has been behind-the-scenes in the Zoo's quarantine holding while staff ensured the animal was healthy and meeting important growth milestones.
"Working with organizations like the Milford Nature Center on unique cases such as this is win-win. It gives the animal a great chance of survival with a living environment similar to their wild surroundings and connects guests to a beautiful creature from our own backyard," said Scott Shoemaker, Zoo Director.
Over the last week, Zoo staff have introduced the bobcat kitten to his new public exhibit. On warmer days, guests can see the new addition along the Kansas Plains Trail near the concession stand. Visitors are encouraged to be patient; the animal is still quite shy as he gets comfortable in his new surroundings.
The bobcat is now eating solid foods through the Zoo's feline diet – ground meat enhanced with vitamins and nutrients particularly helpful for big cats. Kittens typically wean from their mother after two months and become fully independent at one year of age. Milford Nature Center staff bottle-fed the animal initially but the kitten was weaned when it arrived at the Zoo.
By nature bobcats are solitary animals, marking their territories with scent to repel intruders including other bobcats. The kitten joins the Zoo's elderly bobcat female, Pebbles. However, because of their solitary nature and Pebbles' advanced age the animals will remain in two separate exhibits.
Guests may notice a likeness to another famous Manhattanite – Willie the Wildcat. In fact, during the 1940's and 1950's several Zoo bobcats named Touchdown would travel to K-State athletic events. This tradition has since stopped due to animal care issues; the travel and game environment were stressful to the animal, and increased the risk for disease spread to the rest of the Zoo's collection.
Sunset Zoo invites the community to help name the new addition, along with the new baby chimpanzee, at the Zoo's annual Wine in the Wild event co-hosted by the Friends of Sunset Zoo. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on the chance to name the new additions on the evening of Saturday, June 1. Tickets to the popular fundraising event will go on sale this April.
To plan your visit to see the bobcat kitten, visit SunsetZoo.com or call 785.587.APES(2737). With the nice weather forecast, Sunset Zoo will begin summer hours a few days earlier than scheduled. Starting this Saturday, the Zoo will be open from 9:30am to 5:00pm seven days a week. For more information about the Milford Nature Center call 785.238.LEAF or visit the Center in person, located a few minutes outside of Junction City near the Milford Reservoir.

Mods don't work
I am new to GTA IV but have already gotten annoyed with how vehicles handle. Bikes are near impossible. I have heard good things about the Realistic Driving n Flying 2.5 mod and wanted to give it a try. However, I can't get any mods to work. I've also tried installing the Speedometer IV mod and can't get that running either.
I've patched to 22.214.171.124.
I've installed ASI loader and Scripthook.
I'm running a brand new Windows 7 computer. Any chance that might be the reason why they won't work?
I haven't even started looking into other mods yet because I can't get these to work. Anybody have some suggestions?

WEIRTON - When the Beallsville basketball team needed a little something special inside the Dube Dome Tuesday, it went to Jarrett (Teryn Jarrett that is).
The 6-2 senior guard knocked down 28 points and joined his Blue Devil mates in putting on a free throw shooting clinic as Casey Tolzda's club clipped Madonna, 64-54.
With its third straight victory, Beallsville improves to 5-5 on the season. The Blue Dons, meanwhile, fall to 2-5.

IN THE LANE — Weirton Madonna's Josh Francis goes up for two points during the Blue Dons' 64-54 loss to Beallsville Tuesday in the Dube Dome.
-- Mike Mathison
"He's a four-year starter for us and he's going to be a 1,000 point scorer," Tolzda said of Jarrett. "He's averaging 20 a game and he has to control the game in order for us to win. We expect that out of him. If we don't have that, honestly, we are in trouble."
In compiling his game-high point total, Jarrett swished five triples (several coming from NBA distance) and made good on seven of eight attempts from the line.
As a team, the Blue Devils nailed 21 of 26 tries from the stripe, hitting their first 16. Madonna, on the other hand, attempted 24 free tosses, but canned just 10.
Two Dalton Secrest free throws gave the visitors an 18-15 lead after the first period. A couple of Jarrett triples and three buckets in the paint by hard-working Kyle Groves accounted for 12 of the Beallsville points.
The Blue Dons battled back and grabbed a 29-28 advantage late in the second frame thanks to Levi Shreve's three-pointer and a Will Bowser free toss. Jarrett then went on a tear, scoring seven straight to give the Blue Devils a 35-29 advantage at the break.
"We go up one, then we have a couple of defensive breakdowns and they hit a couple of shots," said Madonna's Mike Haag, who was filling in for George Vargo. "We went in down six and just couldn't seem to recover."
Beallsville was a perfect 10 for 10 from the line during the opening 16 minutes.
One of Jarrett's long-range treys sparked a 9-0 third quarter run by the Blue Devils, giving them a 51-40 lead heading into the final quarter.
"This was a real nice win for our kids," Tolzda added. "We started off 2-5 and it's our third win in a row and only our second on the road. We thought it was going to be a good test and it was.
"We played with virtually five guys (one regular starter was out with an illness). We had a freshman, Chase Mercer, step in and I'm real proud of him. Give Madonna credit, they made a run but our kids persevered."
Groves and Secrest both scored 12 points for the Blue Devils while Mercer finished with eight. Groves recorded a double-double by hauling down 11 of his team's 22 rebounds.
"Kyle's a hard worker," Tolzda pointed out. "He's not the most skilled player or the most physical. But, he's strong and fights for the ball. He never quits and I'll take him on my team any day."
Madonna actually had one more field goal (20 versus 19) than the Blue Devils. The Dons, unfortunately, also had more turnovers (24 compared to 20).
"We just fouled too much," Haag added. "They were 21 of 26 and we were 10 for 24. The difference in the game was they knocked down foul shots and we didn't.
"And we turned the ball over way too much. We'd make a little run, then turn it over."
Junior Nate Guio recorded a double-double for Madonna, scoring 17 points and snaring 10 rebounds (the Blue Dons had 29 as a team). Sophomore James Carnes added 11 and junior Will Bowser nine.
"They all fought tonight," Haag said of his Blue Dons. "It wasn't about their effort because the effort was there. We got to the foul line 24 times, the most this year. We kept clawing back. We just have to keep building and keep learning."
Both teams return to action Friday. Madonna travels to Toronto and Beallsville hosts Pine Grove Valley. The Blue Devils will entertain Bishop Donahue Saturday.
Vargo missed the contest to be with his wife who is battling an illness.

The scatter graph at the Wikipedia article seems to suggest so. Has anyone attacked this before? Is there a known proof?
If you mean a pythagorean triangle having one of the angles arbitrary close to a given acute angle then the answer is yes.
Notice that $\displaystyle (m^2-n^2, 2mn, m^2+n^2)$ is always a pythagorean triangle for any positive integers $\displaystyle m \gt n$.
We have that $\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{2mn}{m^2-n^2} = \frac{2t}{1-t^2}$ where $\displaystyle t = \frac{n}{m}$.
By continuity (and surjectivity) of $\displaystyle \frac{2t}{1-t^2}$ we can find an interval of $\displaystyle t$ (which is infact a subinterval of $\displaystyle (0,1)$) for which $\displaystyle \frac{2t}{1-t^2}$ is arbitrarily close to any positive number we want.
Since the rationals are dense, we can find $\displaystyle m,n$ which make the tangent of one the angles arbitrarily close to the tangent of a given acute angle, and hence the angles can be made arbitrarily close.
In fact, more is true -- consider the triples $(3,4,5), (-7,24,25), (-117,44,125), (-527,-336,625), \ldots$, where the $n$th triple is
$$ (a_n, b_n, c_n) := (Re((3+4i)^n), Im((3+4i)^n), 5^n). $$
Since $\tan^{-1} 4/3$ is irrational, the sequence of pairs $(a_n/c_n,b_n/c_n)$
$$ (3/5, 4/5), (-7/25, 24/25), (-117/125, 44/125), (-527/625, -336/625), \ldots $$
is equidistributed on the unit circle. Therefore the sequence $(|a_1/c_1|, |b_1/c_1|), (|a_2/c_2|, |b_2/c_2|)$ obtained by taking absolute values is equidistributed on the arc of the unit circle in the first quadrant.
I'm not sure if we can say that the Pythagorean triples (as opposed to some subsequence of them) are equidistributed in the first quadrant in this sense. Anyone?
The other answers here explain that it is possible to find arbitrarily good approximations to any angle using Pythagorean triples. Here's a footnote on how to turn this into a constructive procedure.
Moron above says to pick a rational number $n/m$ near $t$ where $t$ satisfies $\tan \theta = 2t/(1 - t^2)$. You could pick $n$ and $m$ using a Farey algorithm to find the best rational approximation to $t = (1 - \cos \theta)/\sin\theta$ with a given denominator.
Start with $a = 0$, $b = c = d = 1$. The number $t$ is between $a/b$ and $c/d$. Next compute the "mediant" $(a+c)/(b+d)$. If $t$ is bigger than the mediant, update $a$ and $b$ with $a+c$ and $b+d$. Otherwise update $c$ with $a+c$ and $d$ with $b+d$. Each iteration of this process produces the best rational approximation to $t$ for a given denominator size.
Although you already have a couple of answers proving the result you ask for, I think it is worth adding a further answer using a completely different approach. There is a simple way of parameterizing all points on an algebraic curve of degree two which, once you know, the answer to your question just drops out really easily.
[Edit: Actually, I didn't realize how close this was to Aryabhata's answer when I posted. Still, my parameterization is a bit more general, so I'll leave it up.]
First, the parameterization: For any Pythagorean triple a2 + b2 = c2 you can divide through by c to get the equation a2 + b2 = 1 in rational pairs (a,b) ∈ Q2. The set of all such rational (a,b) is nothing other than the rational points in the unit circle S1. Conversely, if you have rational points (a,b) ∈ S1 then you obtain a Pythagorean triple by multiplying through by a common denominator c (which does not affect the angle).
Now pick any rational point on the unit circle (a0,b0) and a nonzero vector (u,v), and consider the line t → (a0+tu,b0+tv). This must intersect the circle at exactly one other point (a1,b1) -- unless (u,v) is tangent to.the circle (in which case we can say that it intersects it twice at (a0,b0) ). In fact, the equation a2 + b2 - 1 = 0 is a quadratic in t with zero constant term (as it is solved by t = 0), so extracting out the factor of t gives a linear expression. This means that it intersects the curve at a rational point. To be explicit, the equation you get for t is
$$ (u^2+v^2)t^2+2(a_0u+b_0v)t=0\ \Rightarrow\ t=-2(a_0u+b_0v)/(u^2+v^2). $$
Conversely, given any rational point (a1,b1) on the circle distinct from (a0,b0) you can always take (u,v) = (a1 - a0,b1 - b1) to see that every such point is reached in this way. This parameterizes the rational points on the circle by the nonzero rational vectors (u,v) ∈ Q2 (up to recaling). In fact, dividing through by u (if it is nonzero), this parameterizes the rational points on the circle by v ∈ Q and the additional point parameterized by (0,1) curresponding to u = 0. This can be seen to be nothing other than stereographic projection.
Now to your question:
Pick any point (x,y) on the unit circle and approximate the vector (x - a0,y - b0) as closely as you like by rational (u,v). The curve t → (a0+tu,b0+tv) intersects the circle at a rational point, which can be made as close as you like to (x,y). That is, the rational points are dense in the unit circle. So, the angles of pythagorean triples will also be dense in the first quadrant.
