Stuff happened.
I wasn't there.
I haven't even read about yet because I have been housecleaning.
Literally and Blog Feederly.
Yep I've been casting living bomb indiscriminately on most (but not all) of the feeds in my reader.
A month down the track, the approximately 2000 posts was too much for me. 260+ Mage posts is daunting enough!
I've also spent the last week and a half cleaning up my Mum's house. 3 skips, multiple Op Shop trips and 2.5 truck loads later, Mum's house is empty. My house on the other hand has 3 unusable rooms, a garage and a front porch packed to the rafters.
Anyway, just cause I am ignorant doesn't mean I can't comment…
Fikkle suggests that the time might be right from a transfer to Ashes of Tirisfal as a Goblin…
A Goblin?
Sounds good… But then Syrana will be chasing me around with her soulstones trying to enslave me…
Goblins look way too much like Imps!
Mind you I would prefer Squidly as a Worgan Shaman…
Will they have those?
Taking back Gnomeragan!
After the few runs I have had with Squidly through that convoluted mess of leaky pipes, I am inclined to let the Troggs keep it.
However, if there was a little twist I might be persuaded.
The Gnomeragan Twist
If when you retook it, it remained taken (at least for 24 hours) and those adventurers that took it could use it as another active living city…
New Vendors, maybe even player housing. It all yours until you leave the building.
Imagine having to retake your city every day just so you could rest your head on your own pillow!
Gnomeaggedon takes it easy
Speaking of pillows, I had to hit the sack early on Friday as I knew I would be moving day and night over the weekend.
So apart from a quick run of ToC, Gnomeaggedon had the week off. He did pick up a new pair of boots, but I haven't even had the chance to equip them yet.
Squidly joins the Monastery
As I knew I was going to have to bail on my mates I stepped down and played the Squid instead.
After playing a squishy DPS only Mage for so long I am really enjoying the OP Shaman.
I joined up with a Hunter at one point for a kill quest. We were taking on 10 odd mobs at once… Chain lightening, heals and totems mixed with his kiting practice made short and easy work of those mobs.
I also got another run of a couple of wings of Scarlet Monastery. One of the other party members and I made it clear that although we were prepared to be boosted, it was only as a last resort.
For me, Squidly is about the journey, not the destination. 80 can wait, the joy of running the old world instances with a balanced party is what it's all about.
We picked up a level 30 Paladin, who hadn't played for 2 years, that was in LFG as a dps, for our tank. We were getting desperate, but it was worth taking the chance.
2 AoE crazy Mages,, the Pally tank, someone else (I don't remember…) and me on heals. One of the Mages did a fair bit of tanking, he knew how to pull aggro, but he also managed to pull it off… Must have been the heals!
Only one silly wipe when Herrod was whirlwinding and we all stood around and took the hits till we could take them no more.
It's not just WoLK, it's WoW
I know it been discussed before, but the content is easier now… No not just WoLK, but everything.
- Maybe the instances have been dumbed down (less Elites?)
- Maybe the changes to the talents and their trees mean we are more potent.
- Maybe it's just that generally the people you encounter in the Old world are experienced players taking an alt for a run (I assume that the level 80 noob puggers are fighting over emblems and epics).
Whatever the case, all the people I have pugged with Squidly have been friendly, competent and patient.
Well, nearly always patient…
There was 5 minute on Friday night where my wife called needing info. I told the party to wait cause the healer was AFK. While I talked to my wife, looked up train timetables and responded to her, they keep on moving…
Did I tell you Shamans were OP? Somehow I kept the alive… Healbot FTW!
Moving and Stalling
Anyway, Squidly's 38.5, Gnomeaggedon is still level 80, and sliding behind on the gear due to lack of playtime. I'm flat out at home and work.
But I'm still here, wishing I was writing more, but until I can remember my own personal Mirror Image keybind, you will have to bare with my GCD.
Ohhh hey, How about the Wildman stumbling across my post about Space Crusade! True to his word, he has scheduled another night… I may not make it, but you got to love his enthusiasm!
Gnomer and Out!

Devils overpower Rangers, 4-0
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — All the New Jersey Devils needed to win for the first time this season was a game against the rival and injury-depleted New York Rangers.
Cory Schneider made 22 saves for his first shutout with New Jersey, and the Devils become the last NHL team to break into the win column with a 4-0 victory over the Rangers on Saturday night.
"It's nice," Schneider said after his 10th NHL shutout. "It's way better than the other feeling. It's just one. We can't sit here and say, 'Well, we figured it out.' We have to keep at it and play like that all the time, and we'll have a lot more success."
In losing their first seven games (0-4-3) and getting off to their worst start, the Devils blew leads, got outplayed, struggled on the power play and were terrible in the third period. This time, they played 60 minutes and get contributions all around.
Andrei Loktionov, Adam Henrique, Michael Ryder and Dainius Zubrus scored in the laugher against the struggling Rangers. New York is 2-5 on its season-opening, nine-game road trip.
"I think the effort has been there on a lot of nights, but not the results," Henrique said. "It was there tonight. Even in the third, when we were ahead, we wanted to finish the right way."
Jaromir Jagr and Marek Zidlicky added two assists apiece as New Jersey took some of the mounting pressure off coach Pete DeBoer by matching its season high for goals.
DeBoer was happy for his players, saying they worked and probably deserved a win before this game. However, he believes having the Rangers on home ice was important.
"That always plays a role," DeBoer said. "They are our biggest rival, and the building is always packed. Where else would you want to be today, but playing the Rangers before a full house?"
Henrik Lundqvist made 15 saves for the Rangers.
"I have to be better," said Lundqvist, who shut out Washington on Wednesday in what has been an inconsistent season so far for him.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said his team also has to respond better when it falls behind.
"Yes, we can be better," Vigneault said. "Henrik can be better and we can do a better job offensively. In the last two games we haven't given up much. We were able to keep the puck out of our net in Washington and we needed to do a better job tonight."
DeBoer has been searching for a winning lineup, and this one fell into his lap as Patrik Elias (flu) and Damien Brunner (upper body soreness) were sidelined unexpectedly.
Loktionov and Rostislav Olesz took their places in the lineup and played big roles as the Devils took a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Loktionov opened the scoring at 7:22, scoring on a rebound after Lundqvist left a big rebound on a point shot by defenseman Anton Volchenkov.
Olesz set up Henrique's second goal of the season a little more than five minutes later, chipping a puck off the side boards to send his linemate on a break into the Rangers' zone. Henrique beat Lundqvist with a shot over his shoulder from the left circle.
The goal came a little more than 20 seconds after Schneider stopped Benoit Pouliot in close. The goalie, who was 0-2-1 in his first three starts, was a little lucky early in the second period when Taylor Pyatt's shot from the right circle hit the post, and the rebound slid through the crease.
New Jersey took command six minutes into the second period when Michael Ryder finished off passes by Jagr and Zidlicky with a power-play goal on a shot from two strides inside the blue line.
Zubrus closed out the scoring, backhanding the rebound of Bryce Salvador's shot past a defenseless Lundqvist.
It was surprising that Salvador was back in the game. He had crashed into the boards late in the first period after being checked by Pouliot, and had difficulty getting to his feet despite several attempts.
The Rangers played without Rick Nash (concussion), Ryan Callahan (broken thumb) and Carl Hagelin, who has been out all season after shoulder surgery. Callahan was hurt late in the Rangers' 2-0 win over Washington on Wednesday.
NOTES: Olesz earned his first point since he scored a goal while playing for Florida in February 2011. He spent most of last season in the minors. ... The Rangers have two more games on the road before their home opener on Oct. 28. ... Veteran Darroll Powe was called up from Hartford of the AHL to replace Callahan. ... The Devils have three power-play goals in eight games.

Ummm.....no thanks I'm not into that. Just a little creepy, but +up for being different.
I don't want to vibrate my head with it. I want to sit it on my desk and turn it on so it will vibrate and scitter around entertaining me. Is that wrong?
I don't have this particular one, but I love my head massager.
I have a non-vibrating human head. Can I still use this?

In the fall I will be teaching an intro to diff.eq.s course for undergrad engineers. The usual textbook is $150 with solution manual and it's not that great. There must be a cheaper alternative that's just as good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I cut my teeth on an 80's version of Differential Equations and Their Applications: An Introduction to Applied Mathematics by Martin Braun . Amazon lists copies as going for under $50. Perhaps someone from this millenium can say if the new editions are still good. I liked the anecdote about the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and found many of his examples well motivated.
Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2010.04.15
I could do worse than to direct you to Dover Publications. They have at least half a dozen introductory differential equation books, all for less than $50.
This one has good reviews and it's only $25: Ordinary Differential Equations by Morris Tenenbaum & Harry Pollard http://store.doverpublications.com/0486649407.html
Ordinary or Partial differential equations? It may also help if you tell us what the outrageously expensive book is so we can better recommend a book of similar level. (You are not speaking of Birkhoff and Rota, are you? I know that one is about the price you listed.)
For ODEs, I'd recommend V.I. Arnold's book, it is a classic and under USD30 on Amazon for the paperback edition. Slightly more expensive is Philip Hartman's book, which also covers more material. I bought it many years ago, new, for under USD40, so I am not quite sure what's up with Amazon now that the Hardcover is listed for USD38, while the paperback for close to USD70.
For PDEs, McOwen's Partial Differential Equations: Methods and Applications is not bad at USD60, though its 1st order nonlinear system section is a little bit confusing.
(A bit of meta gripe: using multiple dollar signs in one paragraph seems to trigger math mode when it really oughtn't, which is why I wrote "USD" above for U.S. Dollars.)
The best undergraduate introduction to differential equations I know-which would be wonderful for your course and you could probably get second hand cheap-is George Simmons' DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH HISTORICAL NOTES AND APPLICATIONS.It's not too rigorous (although it's done carefully),has lots of applications and even better,it's one of the most beautifully written mathematics books ever published.It almost reads like a novel,with Simmon's wonderful humor and amazing knowledge of the history of the subject. It really makes the subject come alive and your class will love it.
Don't get the revision with Steven G. Krantz. Not only is it a lot more expensive,that book is a lot more formal and a lot of Simmons' personal touch that made the first one a classic is utterly missing here. Get either the first or the second edition of the original.
my favorite ode books for teaching are the ones by either tenenbaum and pollard, or martin braun. these are cheap and excellent. of course arnol'd is incredible but at a higher level. good for me and you, perhaps.
If the students at your College/University own the Stewart Calculus book, chapters 9 and 17 are probably a good place to start. Or at least to suggest as a supplement to the primary text you choose.
Wow, how did this old question get resurrected? Anyway, there is something I don't see in any of the other answers, so I'll chime in:
Unlike Calculus, one of the problem I find with the Diff Eq is that there is no canonical syllabus. So unless U of Saskatchewan does have a very fixed syllabus for the course, the first step is to decide what "flavor" of course you want. For instance, I had a look at a few of the Dover books, but they seem weak if you want a more "modern" (i.e. technology-based / more pictures) approach to ODE's. Which BTW might be the right way to go especially for engineers.
I have yet to find a book that fits my needs, not have I managed to completely pin down what the ideal syllabus should be.

Life Sciences embrace Network.com
By chhandomay on May 02, 2007
We announced the new Network.com Application Catalog in March, 2007, and since then many commercial and open-source applications have become available for users to "click and run" in the Sun Grid compute environment. While these applications span a wide range of industries, Life Sciences is quickly becoming one of the important ones where a lot of ISVs are realizing the scale and efficiency Network.com can offer for their spplications. To date, 13 applications are available in this category, and during this week's Bio-IT World Conference & Expo, Q-chem and Biocceleration's GenCore 6.0 became available in the catalog.
I'd have more details about the applications currently available in the catalog in the coming days, but here's a big scoop...
There will be an important announcement about Network.com tomorrow. Can't tell you more than that though -- be sure to check this blog for the update.
In the mean time, enjoy couple of pictures from the very busy booth of ours in the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo that ended an hour or so ago.

Simple question who has the most beautiful game in the NBA?

Simple question who has the most beautiful game in the NBA?
My vote goes to Curry, so tell me who do have?
Nowitzki when he's on. His 2011 playoff run is some of the most beautiful ball I've ever seen. He's probably not capable of being quite that good anymore, but he's had a decent start to the season.
Durant, or if I'm being a homer, PG. They've got it all offensively, and they look so smooth while doing it.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
Miami Heat cheerleaders.
This is really tough. I would say Steph Curry but he's a turnstile on defense. I love watching PG the most but have to admit that Kevin Durant has by far the prettiest game in the league. Great shooting form, he runs like a gazelle in the open floor, and has incredible athleticism. He also makes it look so effortless.
Well, I would say good defense is naturally ugly, so Curry being a turnstile doesn't add any ugly to his beautiful game.
MVP Nash had such a beautiful game he was so amazing:
I miss that guy
Paul George has to be up there. he makes it look so easy in everything he does
Used to be this guy: Wasnt even in his prime in this video and he was probably around 27 years of age-
Manu's game is/was beautiful to watch too:
I don't like the idea that only offense is beautiful. Give me Roy blocking shots.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Used to be Nash, but he's getting too old. Kobe can be spectacular, but it can also be so very messy.
I think I agree on Curry.
I just wish Nash would have been traded to the Lakers two years earlier. Would have loved to see what him and Kobe could have done together with Gasol if they had just been a couple of years younger, plus there wouldn't have been the distraction of the crybaby Howard.
Crap I forgot about Rubio, now I'm undecided between him and Curry
I'd say Chris Paul. I'd give reasons, but you know.. just watch what he does with the basketball!
He might have the best season of his career this year......and that's saying something.
Paul George...because he's a two way player.
I was going to mention Paul George too but I didn't want to be a homer
His D is beautiful to watch too, that steal he had on Jennings last night had me screaming like a little girl
It's gotta be Tyler Hansbrough, right?
Hmmm purely on offense, Chris Paul is amazing to watch. Obviously PG, Durant, Curry. I know we all hate him, but when they aren't playing the Pacers, I still love to watch LeBron. The strength, speed, knowledge that he has is a treat to watch. Just a great basketball player.
Durant, Chris Paul, and Lilliard.
Anthony Davis is fun to watch on defense and even on offense. I think he can be called a Lebron stopper.
Anthony Davis. And as he improves his offensive game it's only going to get better.
All around game: Paul George. So smooth, such an incredible athlete, and a great defender.
Most amazing...until he shoots: Rajon Rondo. That guy is a wizard with the basketball but his shot is broke.
Legacy award: Steve Nash. He used to be so much fun to watch. Beautiful passing, beautiful shot.

No more sweat in my eyes!

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Sweat Gutr Headband:
I sweat a lot when working out and always struggled with sweat rolling in my eyes. I was a bit skeptical at first, but only took a few rides to become a fan. My only minor complaint would be the mark is leaves on my forehead post-ride. Doesn't take long for it to go away though.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Will never ride without it again!
By GNAC
from Tulsa Oklahoma
I sweat - like a pig. After a normal 20 mile ride at 19 mph - i"ll lose 3 pounds water (Oklahoma 90+F). Blinded by sweat is normal.I rode the HHH and bought one of these at the show before the endurance event. I rode the entire 100 miles without a single drop of sweat in my eyes (99F and 30% RH. Beleive me - I was sweating and dripping like a pig for the event.I will never ride without the Gutr again - except in low temps, etc.They work!
Not sure the gutter works!
By Back into Mtn biking
from Utica, MI
See all my reviews
I sweat like crazy and thought this product would be good to keep the sweat out of my eyes and glasses while Mtn biking. It did not produce like I hoped for, only to leave a ring around my forehead without guttering the sweat (it kind of rolled right over?? Anyway I'll stick with a thin sweatband that will fit under the helmet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Take care, that if you just strip the dots of the version like I did you may get problems with theme version like 1.2.23 and 1.22.3, as they both result in a dotless version of 1223.
A better way would be to take that into account in the .htaccess file. Eg you could allow underscores between the numbers and could replace the dots with them.

The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to announce the proposal as early as Friday. It is expected to require refiners to reduce the amount of sulfur in gasoline to 10 parts per million, down from the current standard of 30 ppm, people familiar with the issue said.
By TENNILLE TRACY
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is moving forward
with tough new standards to cut pollution from cars, people
briefed on the plans said Thursday, prompting an outcry from
refiners that say the proposal will raise the cost of producing
gasoline by nearly 10 cents/gal.
The Environmental Protection Agency is
expected to announce the proposal as early as Friday. It is
expected to require refiners to reduce the amount of sulfur in
gasoline to 10 parts per million, down from the current
standard of 30 ppm, people familiar with the issue said.
Sulfur, a natural ingredient in crude oil, reduces the
performance of a car's catalytic converter, a key piece of emissions-control equipment. By
limiting sulfur content, the EPA hopes to make cars emit fewer
"I think this proposal is the single most effective step EPA
can take right now to reduce smog," said Clean Air Watch
president Frank O'Donnell.
The proposal is also expected to impose new tailpipe emissions standards on cars starting
with model year 2017 vehicles. These will require the
installation of better-performing catalytic converters.
Auto makers are preparing for the standards because nearly
identical requirements have been adopted by more than a dozen
states, including California. As a result, auto makers are
generally on board with the EPA's new proposal.
The American Petroleum Institute, however, which represents
refiners, says the standards will cost $10 billion in upfront
capital expenditures and an additional $2.4 billion in annual
compliance costs.
The standards will ultimately raise the price of producing
gasoline by 9 cents/gal, the institute says, which would likely
be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices at the
"The costs are significant and could easily impact the
competitiveness of US refineries," said Bob Greco, a director
at API.
The EPA's clean-air chief, Gina McCarthy, who has been
nominated to head the agency, has said a tighter sulfur
standard would affect the price of gasoline by only a penny a
gallon. The EPA wasn't immediately available for comment.
The proposal would go out for public comment and could
change before becoming final.
The EPA was initially expected to release the proposal on
sulfur, known as the Tier 3 proposal, in 2012. The Obama
administration delayed its release. It was facing political
heat at the time over high gasoline prices.
The Tier 3 standard would replace Tier 2 sulfur standards,
adopted by the Clinton administration in 2000.

New membrane technology being developed and implemented in Ottawa Canada, has the potential oif savin billions of dollars in processing cost by the use of Polymeric membranes to do the separation. This is analogous to Reverse Osmosis in water. Pressure driven processes (membranes), as opposed to phase change (boiling) is a fraction of the energy consumption.
Gustavo Heins
One problem, what about big industries using coal and other different contaminants fuels
Shame you couldn't include a name.
Europe and most of Asia met these standards more than 5 years ago. The USA is the biggest consumer of energy both in absolute terms and on a per capita basis. It is also the world's biggest polluter. How about stepping up to the plate and taking your share of the pain instead of assuming you have a divine right to consume and pollute?
The EPA should sit down and shut-up. They had a place years ago, they did their job, emissions are lower and will be getting lower as newer cars replace older ones. This is crap to keep a bunch of government employees, that have done their job, keep their jobs as overhead to the taxpayers while they continue to stack on expense to the taxpayers and corporate America. Sequester the EPA - their done - all that's left to do is requlate the regulations! Enough is enough!!!!!
Prakash J. Lakhapate
India has achieved this standard of less than 10 ppm in gasoline long back.America need to take quick action as they are the major polluter.
Oleh Kutowy
There are new technologies coming onto the market all the time. for example see www.mempore.com that apparently also has technology for fuel improvement, both Diesel and Automotive. The oil companies are only happy with no changes, even though change can actually save them money!
Ara Barsamian
Another brilliant rule by EPA, Gina has to "prove" to the Boss that she's tough on all these big and greedy oil companies killing us all with dirty emissions...using concocted numbers (aka junk science) to justify "benefits". That's exactly what we need now, higher prices with 23 million unemployed Americans and the economy in the toilet...I'm wondering when EPA will come up with Tier 4, forbidding the use of gasoline and mandating the use of sails and wind power...and use Don Quijote de la Mancha as proof that it works...
Welcome to just think about the environment around us is accelerating to search for solutions suitable for reducing air pollution and air to piece the proposal is reasonable in this period and wonder what the ultimate solution for improving the material situation in materials used and innovation and new mechanisms sucking bad air from the exhaust pipe in the car and all belongings outwhile not computational rates affordable for everyone and thank you very much

I have been looking for a word that means kickassiness, but haven't come across one. Is this an accepted word? If not, what word can be used in its place?
Sign up

You don't say something is "kick-assy", you say something is "kick-ass." So I think the correct form would be "kick-assness".
You wouldn't use this in any formal setting, though. I agree with awesomeness as an alternative.
Kickassiness uses the often-sarcastic -iness ending (compare "truthiness", "maverickiness", and the phonetically similar "helpy"); so, analogously to those words, it gives the impression that something is trying to pose as kickass but is not succeeding. I'd probably go with "kickassness" or "kickassitude" if that was not the desired impression.
All the above are perfectly cromulent productions from the base word; don't let any prescriptivist tell you different.
I'd say "kick-assery" is a lot better than kickassiness since "kick-ass" stems from a verb.
English - natural language in general, is "productive", which is to say that it happily accommodates new words derived from existing ones on standard patterns. Slang and familiar language are by nature more productive than formal language. Thus, if you use "kickassiness", people (at least, people who understand "kick-ass") will mostly understand you even if they have not heard it before. Whether or not they adopt it themselves is in the lap of the gods, of course (and the answers by @Epago and @Claudiu suggest that it is unlikely because slightly more natural alternatives already have some currency). It is also unlikely to impress English teachers, judges in courts of law, or prospective employers, of course, but you probably already knew that.
Although it's rarely used in slang, it's neither an accepted nor a proper word. Instead, I would use "awesomeness".
Even Wordnik turns up zilch, and Google shows a measly 300 something hits. There doesn't really seem to be a need for this word. Futhermore, I agree with @Claudiu. "kickassness" seems to be the term you're looking for.

CHARLESTON - The Charleston Catholic juggernaut continued to roll toward another pair of state tennis championships Friday. But there were a few bumps in the road thanks to a trio of girls from Hancock County.
Oak Glen's Madison Juszczak and the duo of Lauren Pizzurro and Madison Hill will play for state championships today after posting semifinal triumphs against the Irish in what turned into a rainy day in the capital city.
Wheeling Central will also be participating in "Championship Saturday" thanks to the No. 2 Doubles tandem of Daniel Lee and Gus Schmidt.
Action begins at 8 a.m. at the Kanawha City Community Center's Schoenbaum Courts.
Friday's action at the Charleston Catholic Athletic Complex started under sunny skies. But just after 2 p.m. thunderstorms rolled in forcing action to be moved down the hill to the Charleston Family YMCA.
A number of matches were halted to make the move, including Juszczak's No. 4 Singles tilt against Jenny Borman.
No matter. Juszczak, a freshman, came away with an impressive straight-sets (6-3, 6-1) victory and will face Keyser's Kari Amtower for the title.
"That was my main goal and I got there," an emotional Juszczak said.
She added the move indoors was a bit of an adjustment, but in the end had little to do with the result.
"She is a very good player," Juszczak said of Borman. "It's been just an amazing experience.
"It really goes to show that hard work pays off."
The victory came as little surprise to Golden Bears coach Ken Keller.
"It was a long, tough match, but she finished it," he said.
Keller was also pleased with the Pizzurro-Hill tandem, which downed Borman and Anna Whelan, 7-5, 6-4.
That duo will battle Keyser's Amtower and Megan Freeburn for the No. 3 Doubles championship.
Keller credited assistant coach Everett Spurlock for helping his team reach it's championship potential. "Pappy Spurlock,'' as he's known to the team, is the grandfather of OG's Haley Spurlock.
"He has been involved in practices, matches, everything," Keller said. "The girls love him and I really appreciate him."
Schmidt and Lee rallied for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory against Williamstown's Ryan Leo and Alex Gedon to set up a final against Charleston Catholic's Scott Standish and Zach Casto.
Schmidt and Lee opened Friday with an 8-1 victory against Independence's Josh Borelli and Caleb Pell.
No one was more happy than Lee, a South Korea native, who has played tennis at Central for three years.
"During that second game we were down, but we came out, we were strong, and had a determination to win. Everything turned out good.''
Maroon Knights coach Peggy Dailer praised Schmidt's serving prowess in the triumph and Schmidt said he used that to help overcome some mistakes.
"It was a tough match, but we were able to come back and win and that's what matters,'' he said.
The victory closed the day on a high note for Schmidt, who fell Friday morning, 8-0, to Charleston Catholic's Jad Malas in a No. 3 Singles semifinal.
At No. 1 Doubles, Central's Jon Haley and Brett Szeligo lost to Bluefield's Justin Freund and Jose Tarin. Later, the Irish's Ben Canfield and Noah Cable topped Central's Ben Gordon and Billy Teufel in a No. 3 Doubles semi.
The Maroon Knights' Joanna Capito will receive her all-state award today, but she fell in the No. 1 Singles semifinals to CC's Claire Hamilton, 6-3, 6-1.
The Golden Bears' Alli Sayre dropped a 6-1, 6-1 verdict to Charleston Catholic's Danielle Sadd in a No. 3 Singles semi.
Spurlock and Juszczak won their opening No. 1 Doubles match of the day, but later fell to Ravenswood's Taylor Youell and Bess McNabb, 6-3, 7-6 (7-1). OG's No. 2 Doubles pair of Anna Crawford and Sayre also won a match before falling to Bluefield's Molly Lovern and Claire Bailey.
Nick Conforti saw his stellar prep career come to a close. The Madonna senior dropped a 6-0, 6-1 decision to Charleston Catholic's Mark Cassis in a No. 1 Singles semi. His brother, Matt, was eliminated in a No. 2 Singles semifinal, 6-2, 6-1, by Standish.
Cassis and Malas joined forces to oust the Confortis from the No. 1 Doubles bracket with a 6-3, 6-1 victory.

Who was Shabsai Tzvi and why was he considered evil?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Shabtai Tzvi was a Sefardic Jew who grew up in Turkey, became very learned, but eventually became a false Messiah. Whether he himself was bad or not is a matter of debate. In his biography/history of Shabtai Tzvi, Professor Gershon Scholem presents a very strong case that Shabtai suffered from Bi-polar disorder, a mental illness that produces extreme mood swings. It seems most likely that his "prophet", Natan of Gazza was evil and used him for his fantasies and honor.
It could be as an eminent Jewish Historian once said "Shabtai Tzvi was a Talmid Chochom who was Meshugah."
Even though he did horrible avairos, if he indeed was meshugah (mentally unstable) where is the evil in that? The fact that Natan and others helped him fool most of the Jewish Diaspora does not make Shabtai himself an evil person.
He was a false Messiah,he was Bad because mainly he said Certain mitzvos did not exist he was famous for making up the Bracha Mattir Haissurim and in the end he Converted to Islam
He was a Jew living in the 1600's who claimed to be Moshiach
To contrast with Yahu's answer.
He did many sins publicly including violating arayos (sexual sin) which is one of the 3 major sins which a person is supposed to martyr themselves for rather than transgress. Whatever his status mentally he was clearly in enough control to promote himself as the messiah even after he converted to Islam. This gigantic chillul Hashem (desecration of God's name) caused countless Jews to lose their faith and either convert or abandon Judaism.

I recently took several thousand pictures in India. As a shot I was placing them in folders by location. When I retured home a started using Aperture 3 (first time with Aperture). I imported the project with my original folders. I would like to be able to assign locations via Places to take advantage of the mapping functions. I would assign ALL PHOTOS by the parent folder to India and the SUBFOLDERS by city or region. Is this possible? and if so, how do I do it. I do not have GPS data so I must manually apply places.
Aperture retrieves a hierarchical database of places from the net as you use it. This breaks down each place into countries, states, cities, and places.
As a result, you should only need to assign places to each local group of photos. This should allow you to use the path navigator in the Places tool to select all photos in a given country or region.
To assign places, go to the Places tool and zoom into the area you are interested in. Select one or more photos and drag them to a point on the map. If you're happy you have the right point, click the Done button, and each photo should be marked with a small red pin icon.
For example, if you have a folder containing all photos in Mumbai, you can drag those photos to Mumbai in the map in the Places tool. Similarly, any photos taken in Hyderabad should be dragged to the map. You should then be able to ask the Places tool to show you all photos in India, which should include both of those groups of photos.
You can also then create a smart album for a particular area of the map:
Alternatively, the Smart Album HUD allows you to choose a specific place.

Bathroom vents terminates to attic. The Inspector recommended that it terminates to the outside. What is the best way to do this. Should I just place the bathroom vent next to the roof vent opening.
Oops, didn't see the pic when I first answered. That's not a plumbing stack vent, that's a fan vent.
The most code-compliant way to do it would be to give this exhaust its own path to the outside, by cutting a hole in the roof, fitting a vent cap, and running the vent to the cap, attaching and sealing it. You may or may not need a squirrelcage cap (which helps draw air out of the vent), but it will need to be capped to shelter the vent flue from rain. You MAY be able to get away with simply feeding it to the nearest roof vent, depending on the size and design of these, but it won't meet minimum code in most jurisdictions.
Here's why: a vent fan evacuates warm and usually very humid air from your bathroom or kitchen (you're most often venting steam from a shower or from boiling pots/pans). Your attic is an enclosed "cold zone"; it has the same temperature as the outside, which in winter across the northern US will be below freezing. If you exhaust this warm air into the attic, the water will condense onto your rafters and freeze, then thaw, wetting the wood and causing weathering damage, mold and rot over time. Even if it comes out right next to a roof vent, if the air can mingle with attic air, condensation onto wood can still occur.
You could vent out the wall with one of these guys
(Louvered Exhaust Vent)
Or out the roof with one of these
(Roof vent cap)
Either way, your inspector is correct. Blowing warm moist air into the attic is probably not the best idea.
It's also not a good idea to vent out the wall too close to the soffit vents, as the exhaust will just be sucked back into the attic through the soffit.

Obama: 'Freedom of Religion Is Under Threat'
President Barack Obama said religious freedom is under threat, and highlighted the plight of two American Christians held in North Korea and Iran.
In his address to the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual gathering of lawmakers and numerous faith leaders, Mr. Obama said it's clear that "around the world freedom of religion is under threat." He said the U.S. works with countries that don't live up to America's standard of religious tolerance and pointed to China as an example. He said America's relationship with the Chinese is important to the world but said that he stresses in meetings with Chinese leaders the need to uphold universal rights for Christians, Tibetan Buddhists and others.
"Nations that do not uphold these rights sow the bitter seeds of instability and violence and extremism. So freedom of religion matters to our national security," he said.

He cited North Korea, where Christian-American missionary Kenneth Bae has been held for more than a year because of his and was recently sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for unspecified "hostile acts." The U.S. has sought his release and Mr. Obama vowed "the United States will continue to do everything in our power to secure his release, because Kenneth Bae deserves to be free."
Mr. Obama also mentioned Pastor Saeed Abedini, who was arrested in Iran for his efforts to spread Christianity and sentenced to eight years in prison on national security charges. "As we continue to work for his freedom, today, again, we call on the Iranian government to release Pastor Abedini, so he can return to the loving arms of his wife and children in Idaho," the president said.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) was quick to tweet her approval. "Appreciate POTUS' prayers this AM for Americans Kenneth Bae & Saeed Abedini imprisoned in North Korea & Iran-we pray for their release."
On the Mideast, Mr. Obama said the U.S. has made clear to Israelis and Palestinians "that lasting peace will require freedom of worship and access to holy sites for all faiths."
Mr. Obama, a Christian, told the gathering that God's teachings led him to do community service in Chicago and to his wife, Michelle. His faith, he said, "led me to public service, and the longer I serve, especially in moments of trial or doubt, the more thankful I am of God's guiding hand."

I assume libertarians are opposed to banning usury.
Can you define what you mean by "usury"?
I ask because I traditionally thought it only meant interest, but I have recently seen it used to describe other forms of income as well.
Libertarians are opposed to prohibiting loaning money at interest because banning it would violate the NAP.
Banning the earning of interest also would distort the market since people would get artificially cheap credit.
The word "Usury" involves a moral judgement, saying that some rate of interest or some kind of loan is morally reprehensible.
A libertarian would argue that since the two parties involved in the loan agree voluntarily to the terms of the loan, and in their opinion it's morally OK, that a third party should have no right to violently impose his morality upon them.
My humble blog
It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
I'm actually coming to the view that contracts that are based on compound interest per se are ill-formed contractual arrangements in that there is not actually a single, agreed price. The cascading scale of defaulting prices upon non-payment implied in compound interest contracts are exploitative because a) they result in absurd sums very rapidly[1] and b) the terms of such instruments are invariably favorable to the wealthy, a sure sign that they are a symptom of the parasitic social order, not the natural social order. The underlying presumption of compound interest - that money is exponentially valuable in time - is actually false.
Islamic banking provides a set of instruments that I think accomplish the same purpose as compound interest contracts purport to accomplish - without the potential for layering debt upon debt and other forms of exploitation through fraud and financial subtlety. For example, Murabah is more like rent-to-own. Pawning is also another way to secure debt. Co-signing is yet another way. Until very recently, the legal machinery for implementing such ill-defined contracts simply did not exist... in other words, there is a symbiosis between compound interest creditors and Leviathan as a mechanism for making possible such contracts.
So, what about "growth"? What about the "modern, post-Industrial economy", along with its inexorable economic growth? Isn't compound interest just a natural phenomenon that has organically emerged out of the fact of growth? When you look at the historical emergence of central banking vis-a-vis the emergence of compound interest as a common form of structuring credit, you can't help but notice that central banking emerged first. This should automatically send up red-flags. There is no a priori reason why credit should be an inherently compounding process (in mathematical terms, a "geometric series" or "exponential process"). Yet there is an a priori reason why devaluation/inflation is an inherently compounding process: every time you print money, the money pool is that much bigger... to draw a constant percentage of real value from the money pool, it is not enough to print the same nominal amount of money YoY, you must increase every year the amount of money you print by a constant ratio. The constant ratio is precisely what creates the condition for a geometric series or compounding. So, the true motivation for compound interest is not any natural market demand for it but, rather, in order to camouflage the action of the central banking system behind the private production of compound interest credit, a purportedly natural process that has organically emerged in the free market.
This view is my own and I don't know of even any Austrians who hold this view.
Clayton -
[1] "$100 borrowed at 10% interest rate" sounds reasonable on its face... you have to pay back $110 in one year or $121 in two years, etc. But left unpaid for 100 years, this would be a $1.4M obligation... and the next year it would be a $1.54M obligation, etc.
Because the imposition of a maximum price on interest (i.e. usury laws) will result in credit being denied to high risk borrowers (or more likely, their needs being met on the black market where even higher interest rates must be charged).
... just as the State
has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own - Albert Jay Nock
Yeah, but Clayton ; in the long run we're all dead. By the time that 10% interest rate loan comes to maturity I'm long dead, so they can bill me whatever they please at that point.
@Meistro: That's beside the point. The point is that what began as a $100 obligation balloons into absurd numbers, not because "that's what was agreed to" - of course people are free to negotiate any price they like between themselves - but because humans are extraordinarily bad at exponential arithmetic. Most people pay close to 2x the sticker price for an automobile because they buy it on credit... by the time you add up all the interest, the total purchase price comes out to nearly 2x. But they don't think it through, they just say "Oh, 8% isn't that much". But it isn't just 8%... it's 8% on 8% on 8% on 8% on 8% on $25,000 (annuitized over 5 years or however many years the loan is). Some States have laws to try to rectify this by giving the consumer the total package price, etc. but the fact is that that's like putting your finger in the crack of a leaking dam... the point is that everybody buys cars for that price, so of course, that's what the Joneses will pay to have a car. In other words, my view is that it's not an accident that things like car loans are the way they are. It's an interlocking, interconnected system. It's pure evil.
What contracts are based on compound interest? No bank lending is based on compound interest.
In defense of compound interest:
From Wikipedia:
Compound interest was once regarded as the worst kind of usury, and was severely condemned by Roman law, as well as the common laws of many other countries.[2]
In one passage, the Bible addresses the charging of interest in the following manner:
The Qur'an explicitly mentions compound interest as a great sin. Usury (oppressive interest), known in Arabic as "riba", is considered wrong:
Richard Witt's book Arithmeticall Questions, published in 1613, was a landmark in the history of compound interest. It was wholly devoted to the subject (previously called anatocism), whereas previous writers had usually treated compound interest briefly in just one chapter in a mathematical textbook. Witt's book gave tables based on 10% (the then maximum rate of interest allowable on loans) and on other rates for different purposes, such as the valuation of property leases. Witt was a London mathematical practitioner and his book is notable for its clarity of expression, depth of insight and accuracy of calculation, with 124 worked examples.[3][4]
Point is, central banks did not exist in Roman times, or when the Bible or Kuran was written; the bank of England opened its doors in 1694. So it looks like compound interest was around way before central banks.
It may be true that people don't grasp the math of compound interest. But that just means they are signing up for a Darwin Award when they voluntarily agree to a complicated contract without sitting down to figure out what it actually says, Certainly businesses, to which the vast majoirty of loans go, understand very clearly what they are getting into.
Even people who buy cars often buy more four or more cars in their lifetime, so they get to see exactly what is going on when they buy the first one.
That everyone buys cars for that price just means that that is the market price. And if people are willing to pay that price to keep up with the Joneses, that just means the subjective value of keeping up with Joneses is very high to the car buyer.
It's hard to declare something evil unless one shows where there is fraud or violence involved.
Why would anyone be for banning (Use force or the threat of force to prohibit two individuals from engaging in a voluntary transaction for mutual benefit.) anything? All you do is deny the parties the ability to conduct mutually beneficial transactions. So both parties are worse off and someone gets stuck with the bill for enforcing the ban.
As for Libertarians in particular, as was previously stated any use or threat of force is against the NAP AND a violation of the private property rights of the individuals.
And the negative consequences of prohibitions are massive and destroy people. I was just visiting a small city in Central Mexico and there is the Federal Policia, really the army, patrolling the streets all because the insane drug war. And what is the drug war? It is simply prohibition of natural substances that hummanity has used for the past 10000 years that a bunch of evil and self interested parties decide to ban.
In defense of compound interest:
From Wikipedia:
There are some problems with that article in Wiki: It states that compound interest is that standard in the financial industry....
But US banks use simple interest on all consumer loans, mortgages and commercial lending (there may be some unusual exceptions). Payments are set up so that all accrued interest is paid at what ever frequency is agreed to (monthly, quarterly, etc,). If a payment is missed the interest is not added to principal and will not accrue additional interest.
So it looks like compound interest was around way before central banks.
But it was a very uncommon arrangement.
It may be true that people don't grasp the math of compound interest. But that just means they are signing up for a Darwin Award when they voluntarily agree to a complicated contract without sitting down to figure out what it actually says,
But how does it happen that such stupidity is so common? I'm not asking a question about population traits (why are so many people stupid) but, rather, how is it that this trait is so often expressed? For example, the willingness to commit petty theft is appallingly common. Yet there is actually not a lot of petty theft in absolute terms, compared to what there could be. This is because petty theft is punishable. So would-be petty thieves are induced to calculate - in their own terms - the costs of indulging the urge to commit a petty theft.
Yet, somehow, stupid people are not being induced to calculate the true costs of compound interest loans which they are taking out for literally everything from houses, to cars, to boats, to televisions, to dental work, to breast implants, etc. Let me put it this way and let you ponder it: the modern system of consumer credit is subtly redistributive.
Clayton -

If a payment is missed the interest is not added to principal and will not accrue additional interest.
Nonsense. The annuitization of the principal amount of the loan is calculated using compounding. And while individual late payments themselves do not get added to the principal and recalculated, they incur late penalties that are far more severe than any compound interest effects would have been. Finally, if you miss several payments and the loan goes into default, all the principal and the accrued late penalties, etc. are recalculated with interest. I don't know what you're trying to pull here, saying that US banks use "simple" interest. What a bunch of bullshit.

WELLSBURG - A local attorney and many who participated in an informal survey said they want the Brooke County Courthouse to remain open on Saturdays.
The Brooke County Commission has discussed closing the courthouse on Saturday, when it currently is open from 9 a.m. to noon, and extending its hours on Thursdays so that it would be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The courthouse's current weekday hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Jim Zulkoski of Weirton renewed his vehicle registration Thursday with the help of Sally Cassandra, a tax deputy in the tax office of the Brooke County Courthouse. The Brooke County Commission is considering closing the courthouse on Saturdays and extending its hours on Thursday, a move opposed by some. -- Warren Scott
County Commissioner Jim Andreozzi, who raised the issue, encouraged the public to voice their opinion by calling him at (304) 737-4024 or (304) 224-6619.
He had suggested comment be submitted by the commission's next regular meeting but said Friday more time will be taken to consider the idea.
"There will be no action on it Tuesday," Andreozzi said, referring to the next commission meeting, which will be held at 10:30 a.m. at the courthouse.
He added the commission could consider other options, such as opening the courthouse on specific Saturdays each month.
The idea was spurred by requests from some county employees and reports of little traffic at the courthouse on Saturdays and noted only three county courthouses in West Virginia are open on Saturdays.
The others are in Wetzel and Roane counties.
Andreozzi said it wasn't prompted by financial concerns. Currently a small number of courthouse employees man their departments on Saturday mornings and do not work on three hours during the regular work week to compensate for it.
Andreozzi said if the courthouse were closed on Saturdays, employees would work different shifts on Thrusdays to accommodate the extended hours, which are intended to make the courthouse accessible to those who work on weekdays.
But attorney Marc Chernenko and others have suggested closing the courthouse on Saturday would create an inconvenience for many, particularly those with long work commutes on weekdays.
He has asked members of the Wellsburg Chamber of Commerce to join him in vocally opposing the move.
Chernenko said, "By being open on Saturday morning, the courthouse is able to provide services to our neighbors, clients and customers who may have to wait until then for a real estate closing, to register to vote, to pay their taxes or simply to buy their automobile registration sticker at the last minute."
He continued, "We all know of friends and clients who have moved away from Brooke County but have had to return to administer a parent or other family member's estate. In many instances, they were able to qualify before the county clerk only on a Saturday morning because of their work obligations and the travel time from their distant towns."
Chernenko added many young couples who have left the area have returned to file for a marriage license on Saturdays so they could be married in their hometown or in the case of Bethany College alumni, alma mater.
He said even if the hours are extended to 6 p.m. on Thursdays, Brooke County residents who commute to jobs in the Pittsburgh area won't be able to get to the courthouse before closing.
Several courthouse employees said there are very few visitors to the courthouse Saturday.
Hank Durante, who is among security guards who man the courthouse's entrance, said there were about 60 visitors on March 2 and an average of 40 for each Saturday over the last seven weeks.
Durante said many visitors have asked about Saturday hours but he's also turned away a number who arrived at the courthouse at 8 a.m., before it opens.
Several area residents who were surveyed outside area businesses supported Chernenko's position.
Judy Johnston of Follansbee said, "I think that would hurt a lot of people because they work (on weekdays) and aren't able to get there except on Saturday."
Vicky Bennett of Wellsburg acknowledged the courthouse would be open later on one day "but then they would have to rush home. The taxpayer needs a little help."
"I work all week so I need it open on Saturdays," said Derrick Murdock of Wellsburg.
Douglas Vogtssburger of Follansbee said, "One weeknight doesn't seem very fair because the majority of people are off on Saturdays. I'd have to see how many people they were seeing on Saturdays."
Ed Schupbach of Wellsburg said, "I think a lot of people work and would have trouble getting there except on Saturday, so I don't think it's a good idea."
A smaller number said the change would affect them less.
Mark Van Leeuwen of Follansbee said, "I prefer to have it open Saturdays, but I could live with longer hours on another day."
Jennifer Reed of Weirton said, "I don't go there much, but I could see how it would be more convenient for people to go there on Saturday."
Megan Wood of Follansbee said, "I don't think it would affect me either way. As long as they're extending hours on another day, it's OK."
Theresa Temple of Wellsburg said, "It would be convenient for me to go after work on a weekday."
Luvinia Rice of Weirton said, "I don't do a lot of business there, and I didn't know they were open on Saturday."

Is it done by adding an extra xml such as the JPA one or you may do it by creating a specific class?

The unlikely star of last week's presidential debate is now starring in an ad from President Obama's campaign, and Sesame Street is not happy with it.
The spot was released today.
It sarcastically casts Big Bird as a corporate fiend along the lines of Bernie Madoff and Kenneth Lay.
The campaign says it will air on national broadcast and cable networks.
Sesame Workshop wants the ad removed saying in a statement today it has not approved any campaign ads.
An Obama campaign official says they had received the statement and were reviewing Sesame Street concerns.
The ad is a result of last week's debate when Mitt Romney said he would cut the federal subsidy to Sesame Street's network, PBS, to help reduce the country's deficit.

I just recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 12.10. I also completely wiped the laptop. The Ubuntu OS will only boot part of the time but never on the first time. Always, the first start up will automatically go to a purple screen and stay there. At first I waited for 45 minutes and nothing changed. Once I held down the power button to turn it off, I turned it back on to see the Asus screen followed by the grub menu. I can select "Ubuntu" and then there is a white box blinking in the top left corner. Then, it will either keep blinking or transfer to the Ubuntu loading screen(everything works fine if it gets to the loading screen). This has never happened before with prior versions of Ubuntu. Any ideas are helpful. Thanks!
How difficult would it be to backup your data and do another clean install? It sounds like something is corrupted in your install, which might explain the non-deterministic startup behavior. Also, what model computer do you have? It would help to know more details of your computer, install, and environment.
I know that when I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Macbook Pro 5,2 I had some simliar boot problems. I simply re-installed with another clean install and everything was okay after that.

21 shaped paintings on view for first time in North America
Apr 18, 2008
Beacon, NY— Dia Art Foundation is pleased to announce the presentation of Imi Knoebel's 24 Colors—for Blinky (1977), at Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, in New York's Hudson Valley, opening May 17, 2008.* This epic cycle of 21 paintings marks Knoebel's first sustained engagement with color in its manifold guises. Viewed by him as a gift from his close friend, German painter Blinky Palermo, color would become for Knoebel a primary agent in an ongoing exploration of the metaphysics of picture making. This presentation of 24 Colors—for Blinky will be the first time that the work—acquired for Dia's collection shortly after it was realized—has been shown in North America.
Knoebel made 24 Colors—for Blinky shortly after the death of Palermo, whom he called "the master of color." To create the monumental work, Knoebel constructed 24 individual panels from wood, none of them containing a right angle, and painted each with a single, unmixed hue, ranging from cadmium orange light and quinacridone crimson to phthalo turquoise green and Paynes grey. All but one of the elements of 24 Colors—for Blinky comprises a single-shaped painted wood element; the exception consists of three such panels superimposed on each other.
In this vibrant suite, Knoebel employed so many different colors that the work connotes the idea of color as a formal entity in and of itself, rather than as a signifying agent. As with key earlier works, the installation of 24 Colors—for Blinky can be variously configured both in terms of sequencing and in the number of elements on view. For the exhibition at Dia:Beacon, 24 Colors—for Blinky has been completely restored by the artist.
Concurrent with the installation of 24 Colors—for Blinky, Dia has invited American artist Helen Mirra to reinstall Knoebel's work Room 19 (1968), on view at Dia:Beacon and also part of Dia's collection. Made entirely of Masonite, this seventy-seven-part work is polymorphous, consisting of stretchers, planar elements, and stereometric and rectangular volumes that can be variously assembled depending on the context. In the past, and in concert with the artist's conception, installation crews and others have on occasion installed this piece.
Funding The restoration and presentation of Imi Knoebel's 24 Colors—for Blinky is made possible through the generous support of Gucci. As part of the company's larger initiative to make possible the preservation of significant artworks, Gucci has made a multi-year commitment to Dia's conservation initiatives.
Imi Knoebel
Imi Knoebel was born in Dessau, Germany, in 1940. From 1963 to 1971, he was a student of Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. His first exhibition, IMI + IMI, with Imi Giese, a fellow student of Beuys's, was held in Copenhagen in 1968. Since that time, Knoebel has exhibited his works in Documentas 5 (1972), 6 (1977), 7 (1982), and 8 (1987), and at Sonsbeek (1971). In 1987 Knoebel oversaw an installation of his own work, as well as that of Beuys and Blinky Palermo, for the inaugural exhibitions at Dia's galleries on West 22nd Street in New York City. In 1996–97, a retrospective of his work traveled throughout Europe, to such venues as Haus der Kunst, Munich; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Institut Valencià d'Art Modern, Centre Julio González, Valencia. Knoebel lives and works in Düsseldorf.
Helen Mirra
Currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Helen Mirra was born in 1970 in Rochester, New York. Her solo exhibitions include presentations at Meyer Riegger Galerie, Karlsruhe (2007); DAAD Galerie, Berlin (2006); Donald Young Gallery, Chicago (2005); Dallas Museum of Art (2004); University of California, Berkeley Art Museum (2003); and the Renaissance Society, Chicago (2001). She has been a resident artist in the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm (2005–2006), as well as in the Office of Contemporary Art Norway (2007), and will be in residence at Stiftung Larenz-Haus in Basel, Switzerland, in 2008—9.
Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries

The museum also presents temporary exhibitions, as well as public programs designed to complement the collection and exhibitions, including monthly gallery talks, Merce Cunningham Dance Company Events, music performances by St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble, Community Free Days for neighboring counties, and an education program that serves area students at all levels.

I attempted to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 last night. Installation seemed to go fine, and this morning I had a message like "restart now to complete installation". So I restart, get an initial "Loading Operating System ..." message, followed by "error: file not found. Then it kicks into "grub rescue>" mode.
Previously I have this running as a dual boot (window 7) and I just ran the upgrade to 12.10 via the update manager in ubuntu. Any ideas on what is going on here, or what the error means? I know my way around the command line, but this is above my pay grade. Thanks for any advice.

Arguably one of the most exciting athletic events is about to unfold - the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament, a time affectionately called "March Madness."
It also may be one of the most lucrative - consider alone the 14-year, $10.8 billion deal between the NCAA and CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting for the rights to broadcast the tournament.
Among the reasons I and many others love college athletics is because you see young athletes competing for the love of the game - not the professionals for whom it is a job and a multi-million dollar paycheck.
But an antitrust lawsuit asks whether that's the way it should be. Is providing a scholarship and free living expenses enough of a payback for the young men and women via which the NCAA and universities are making the multi-billion dollar deals? A hearing in June will determine if the lawsuit will move forward as a class action, opening the door for young athletes to get a cut of the big paychecks.
The lawsuit was set in motion when former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon noticed his likeness being used in a videogame without compensation. CBS News did a more indepth report on the lawsuit here: www.cbsnews.com
It is an interesting question with no easy answer. On the one hand, why shouldn't the people making the money for the organizations receive compensation for their efforts? On the other hand, how much would introducing payment into the equation lead to corruption and unfair play? (and, I know, some of you are thinking that already exists with schools allegedly breaking the rules)
Let me know what you think!
