Please post all Draft Reports here, or on our main sight here http://www.clashofthedragons.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?24-Draft-Error-Reports
What I need for every Draft Report is:
Your Account ID, not In Game Name, there is a link in my signature showing the easiest way to find this, but
basically it says to mouse over your name on the profile page and your account ID will pop up. ( It is usually your
Facebook Identification number, or your Kongregate Account Name)
Your Draft ID, This is the specific ID of the Draft that had an error. This is found in the Draft History section
located on the Draft page.
A clear description of the Issue or bug with as much information as possible, including if possible Copies of the
Battle Log and/or Screen shots of the issue.
If you can supply those three things with each Issue report I can almost always solve them quickly and efficiently.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to post here or Private Message me

I wonder if there can be numbers (in some extended theory) for which all reals are either smaller or larger than this number, but no real number is equal to that number?!
Is there some extension of number which allows that? Under what conditions (axiom etc.) there is no such number.

STEUBENVILLE - Magnolia head coach Mark Batten estimated that his running back would get a bulk of the touches in Saturday's game at Central Catholic. That's how the Blue Eagles would be successful.
"We felt that Drew Keller needed the ball in his hands close to 30 times," Batten said after his team's 24-0 win at Harding Stadium.
Actually, Keller got close to 40 carries with a 190-yard performance on 38 rushes in the Magnolia win.
"What a job he did," Batten said. "He'll be the first to tell you it was the guys up front that made all that possible."
Nine Eagles linemen weigh over 200 pounds and three tip the scale above 300. Kyle Ritz, a blocking tight end who is also used at fullback, is one of three sophomores starting up front.
"There were a lot of holes," Keller said. "I just had to follow the big guys. It's easy to run when I'm following behind Kyle and the rest of them."
Last week, Magnolia fell on the road against St. Marys, 11-9. Keller rushed for 101 yards on 21 carries and scored a touchdown with 1:01 left to put the Eagles up 9-8. However, St. Marys drove to the 17-yard line before Garrett Furr kicked a field goal in the final seconds to lift the Blue Devils and secure their No. 1 ranking in Class A.
The defense didn't slip at all against Central as the unit created two turnovers and limited the Crusaders to 67 yards.
The offense helped in that effort.
"Basically, the whole thing was to limit their offensive possessions," Keller said. "We wanted to have the ball as much as we could and run the clock down."
On Magnolia's nine possessions, it was forced three-and-out just once as the unit collected 15 first downs. The longest scoring drive was a first quarter, 10-play possesion which lasted five minutes, five seconds. Keller scored his first of three touchdowns on a 1-yard run to put the Eagles up 6-0 at the 3:57 mark.
"I knew I was getting the ball a lot and I was ready for it," Keller said.
He also scored on a 42-yard run in the third quarter and a 2-yard pound in the fourth.
Quarterback Jacob Brill had just one pass completion, a three yard toss to Keller in the first. Often, Keller was lined up in the quarterback spot taking snaps before rattling off an average of five yards per carry.
"We have seen the Wildcat formation on film but not as much as they showed tonight," said Central coach Steve Daly. "We had to do a better job of realizing he was back there in that formation to have the ball in his hands.
"He is a physical runner, a downhill runner. He did what he needed to, picking up chunks of yardage for them."
Keller was never tackled for a loss and had just two rushes for no gain. Brill added 31 yards on seven carries.
"We gameplan to point out their weak spots and keep them guessing," Keller said. "If we can catch them off guard and get a step on their defenders we can really run with it."
Magnolia began the year 0-2 with the defeats coming to Linsly and Williamstown by a combined eight points. The Eagles now sit at 5-4 and close out the regular season next week at Oak Glen.
"It was a rough start but we're definitely picking it up as of late," Batten said. "That was just a tremendous effort out of our coaching staff and especially those players."

Oops, something didn't work.
Any news on WCF RIA for the phone? Also what about a client side database?
Was it just me or video capture, or was scrolling on the phone itself was not that smooth?
If it is the latter then it doesn't follow WP7 UI guidelines.
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9713252 , Page 7 - "Aware and Responsive Performance"
Awesome. Just got the SDK downloaded Will start importing current code into WP7 app in a few minutes!
Nothing is like a developer demoing a product.
Thanks Mike & John!
At the end he said "This is Silverlight 3". Is that correct? Which version is on the phone, 3 or 4?
No client side database. What a tradgedy. For me it kills an otherwise fantastic platform. Listen for yourself during the discussion at Live.VisitMix.com. It is the "Daily Show" webcast at 5pm on March 15th.
It's a superset of Silverlight 3. You don't get everything that's in Silverlight 4, but you get more than is in Silverlight 3.

We have a client with whom we have a relationship of delivering proofs of concepts only. But when it comes the time to demo they expect an early version of what would be the solution. They want databases populated with real data, look-and-feel of a finished product and other things (including features) which are trivial and no way contribute towards proving the concept.
What do you do with that? How do you handle such a situation? (I'm the developer as well as the person who will be talking to the client along with other non-developers.)

I (& I'm sure many of others) go through a lot of trouble to read about improving productivity. This includes
- Books (59 seconds, Seven Habits, GTD etc.),
- Blogs (Pavlina, LifeHacker)
- Studies/Research.
My question is : How do you effectively convert the advice you read to a part of your life?
For instance, I read that one should maintain a notebook called "Internet Notebook" where you list all the stuff you want to use the internet for and once in an hour, you switch the internet on, open ONLY as many tabs as the things in your list, open the respective websites and consciously close them once you are done without looking at other links. I liked this a lot and I was motivated to do it but I kept forgetting I had to do it. Sometimes it's laziness (I don't have a notebook, nevermind this time) and other times it is lack of willpower.
This is just an example, I'm not interested in specific solutions to my internet problem. My real question is:
How do you make the things you an active part of you effectively?
Some things I thought of
- 21 day challenge?
- Keeping it as wallpaper/stick it note etc.
but both have deficiencies.

Kayli Vee Levitan's best tea spots in Cape TownTaking time out for yourself in Cape Town can take many forms. You can take a walk on the beach, enjoy a spa treatment, tuck into gourmet food and wine or sip on a perfect brew with a few sweet treats to delight you at high tea. Often the perfect way to catch up with friends or loved ones, high tea not only offers an afternoon of exciting new teas and treats that delight the eyes and palate, you can also enjoy all of this while admiring the splendour of your surroundings. I sampled a few high teas on offer around the city and found a few gems.

I have just found my old pc game Battlefield 2142(from 2008). Can I still play this game on-line?(I will first have to find serial, so I can't just check)
closed as too localized by John the Green, alexanderpas, Ian Pugsley, Ash♦, Drake Dec 6 '11 at 12:31
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes. In fact, I re-installed 2142 today and was plesantly surpised to find a large number of server still up and running. You will have to download the latest patch, 1.50, which is over 500MB and may take a while to download. There is a 1.51 Beta but not sure how many server support it.
Dec 2011 - now that Battefield 3 has been released there are only around 20-30 servers online with varying numbers of players. It's best to find one server and stay on that one, then you get to know the "regulars" and it's quite enjoyable with a good squad.
I only reqularly see between 2 and 8 servers online any more, but it is playable on good nights when there are enough people logged in.
There is not nearly as many as there used to be, and the number seems to drop each week. However, it is worth installing and upgrading to 1.50 as there are still are several decent ones. One nice side effect is you get to see a lot of the same players.

The current (official) exchange rate for USD to ARS is around 1:5, but I've heard that due to the fluctuation recently there may be a way to get a better value for USD in Argentina.
Any pointers?
The current (official) exchange rate for USD to ARS is around 1:5, but I've heard that due to the fluctuation recently there may be a way to get a better value for USD in Argentina.
Any pointers?
Fist of all a short disclaimer: The blue market is an unofficial market not recognized by federal authorities and changing money there is illegal. Thousands of Argentinians use this market every day as buying dollars in the official market is almost prohibited by the government .
I will try to answer your question without entering into the details of the current political and economical situation which is currently driving Argentina.
As you pointed out, there are currently two very different rates for the Argentinian Peso (
According to Yahoo Finance the official exchange between $1 dollar and the peso is $4.96
What you mention in your question is what is known as the Blue Market
As stated in the disclaimer, currently it is very difficult for Argentinians to buy foreign currency which has made the price go up in the secondary market.
You can find the current value per $1
Where can you trade in the Blue Market?
People selling the blue dollar are called "arbolitos" (little trees) and places where you can buy/sell the blue are called "cuevas" (caves)
While you are in Buenos Aires you can ask any cab driver, shop owner, hotel personnel, etc, for the closest arbolito or where to trade the blue market and they will be able to point you in the right direction.
Disclaimer again: Remember it is illegal (although AFIP (Argentinian IRS) does not seem to be chasing buyers)
One factor I would like to add: the "blue" exchange rate can be quite different in different places. Namely, when there are a lot of tourists around such as in Ushuaia or El Calafate in Patagonia, the supply of Dollars is much higher and the exchange rate will not be as good for you. It will not be as easy to find "cuevas" as in Buenos Aires (where they often find you), and the rate they offer will vary more.
For example, most hostels will exchange "blue" (hotels usually not), but they usually don't offer the best rate and only have a limited supply of pesos (whatever people recently paid for their rooms). It pays to ask around a little.
The site I used to look up the current exchange rate is http://dolarblue.net/ - which also shows the rate for Euros.
Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

Willow Street is a gateway to the Willow-Plaza neighborhood, the historic district and the historic Overlook neighborhood, and most certainly, when people traveled up Willow Street during the holiday season, they were greeted by these five wonderfully cheerful buildings. The decorations gave the area a festive look that demonstrates the Lagasses' pride in the apartments they own and manage, and desire to reclaim the Willow Street area so it can once again become a warm and welcoming part of Waterbury.

"In the" sounds like it's going on for a while — a chapter or two.
"At the" sounds like a point on a line: he describes everything in one or two paragraphs and then moves on.
Both are grammatically correct, but I think they have slightly different shades of meaning.
Either is fine. But they have slightly different... connotations.
"In the beginning" makes most people in the western world think/associate that ancient book called the (Christian) Bible. Which starts out with "In the beginning" ;-)
So, it gets a more epic feel right off the bat than if I started with "At the beginning". "At the beginning" is more modern-sounding (to my ears, anyway).
And "At the beginning" makes me automatically think of a state more than a process ("In" is more neutral that way). So, "At the beginning of our tale, Marco is standing in his workshop" is something I would expect.
Hmm, come to think of it some more, this sounds like a synopsis more than an actual book. Or maybe it's not a question about writing fiction but about writing non-fiction? Or writing non-fiction about fiction? ;-) If so, then my answer is probably way off.
Either is fine to my ear/eyes.
I think of things happening in sections of books, not at (which implies a location) sections of books.
I also tried changing it around:
"In" is my choice.

Cataclysm represents a bold move from Blizzard with significant changes made to a game that already has many years under its belt.
PC Games
Blizzard is really true to its words when it said that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Expansion Pack is going to be a great hit. Indeed it was. With the ever presence of the dragon from Warcraft II, Deathwing unleashes hell in the city of Azeroth resulting in mammoth destruction. I personally call Deathwing as the "big bully" as he just rips anythingand everything smaller than his size. It is like a senior high school student beating a defenseless kindergarten.
A lot of renovations in the places of the previous game have been done. The capitol cities of Stormwind and Orgrimmar are now sporting new looks. Stormwind is partially destroyed because of disruptions brought by Deathwing. There are also new places which are introduced in the game, among them a new district called Dwarven which has also sprung up with its own auction house, inn, bank, and a lake.
On the other hand, modifications have also been done with Orgrimmar. When Thrall left, and Garrosh stayed, the latter took the chance to revamp the city. As to inhabitants, Taurens, Trolls, and Goblins still have their own place in the city, while Deepholm, the place of Deathwing, is located in the middle of a spheroid with a rainbow scenery and magnetic fields. Legends have it that in the city of Uldum, there is a powerful weapon hidden in the area which attracts the villains to go in there to grab power. The city of Uldum copies the architectural designs of the pyramids from Egypt. This city is on the other side of Skyfall.
New battlegrounds are also created for multiplayer. The new courses let the players explore the whole area to discover exciting zones as well as ruins. Most raids depend on the player's discretion. There are a lot of useful tactics to be used for your game plan. During the course of the game, there is a feature panel that updates you of the events and current standings among the other players. In this panel, you are able to learn which players are awarded by a guild, what tasks are they doing, the number of boss' they had beaten, and players who went to other levels.
Guilds also come in different levels. They range from level one up to level twenty, and they are earned by achievements: hitting the battleground, finishing the quests, or by defeating a boss. The Guild achievements are changed from the Guild money. Anyone can benefit from the achievement instead of having just one person use the cash. Blizzard also emphasized archeology; adding vital facts and information to the game while also giving historical details about Azeroth. This is one way, they can entice more players.
Goblin areas are also terrific. There is a quest in the game that gives you power to run down any enemy who consider you a pest. Moreover, the Goblin zone also offers a bit of hilarity. For instance, there is a certain party in this zone where you invite guests and accommodate them by beating their heads. Absurd but quite funny, really.

I was googling regarding Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal); pretty much liked the wallpapers. Just out of curiosity, can I install the wallpapers from a higher release (12.10) on a previous release Precise (12.04.1) without upgrading to 12.10.
I have tried the following:-
ankit@stream:~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-quantal
[sudo] password for ankit:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-wallpapers-quantal
I have followed this post; but this for installing wallpapers from previous releases on the current release.
Any ideas how can this be achieved.

10 basics every American should know about the debt ceiling debate
When the debt limit was reached a few weeks ago, the Secretary of the Treasury used emergency borrowing authority to spend about $200 billion to fund government operations.
This is referred to as "extraordinary measures," which allows the Treasury Department to use legal financial maneuvers to take care of government obligations.

A few points from the article:
"Congress, which controls national spending, sets the limit and can approve more borrowing if needed."
So, congress controls spending, and congress sets the limit. Congress decides how much money gets spent on what and congress decides where that comes from.
"Congress is currently debating if it should increase the debt ceiling or start defaulting on obligations."
This should be a no-brainer. The United States does not default on its obligations. Congress decided to spend the money. Congress decided to buy products for various federal agencies throughout the government. Now congress does not want to pay for that meal they just ate.
"It would be impossible to meet daily needs for important government programs like social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, and military active duty pay, so government checks wouldn't be issued."
When this happens, blame congress. As pointed out above, this is 100% their fault.

This list needs to note that interest rates on our debt would go up (so much for debt reduction...), that paying the interest would be priority #1 since we cannot default, the fact that interest rate increases would increase interest rates everywhere else too (mortgages, credit cards, etc) and that default would crash the global economy and even just running into the debt ceiling and having to do that 40% cut in spending would also cause significant harm.

"The people who keep reelecting those politicians who keep making irrational promises to us are the ones at fault. This means We The People."
That's true, since the government is run 'by, for, and of the people.'
The problem is, many 'people' don't know or understand what government is all about. They think the government has deep pockets with an unlimited source of money and can give handouts forever. So they vote people in who promise more and more give-aways... like medicare, medicaid, social security food stamps, practically unlimited unemployment benefits, free education & healthcare for illegal immigrants, etc., etc., and... the latest: Obamacare.
This country is not going to the dogs... it's already there. We just don't know it yet.

WRZ, you forgot the biggest handout. It has more than doubled in the last 12
years. Military Spending.
If we cut military spending back to what it was in 2000, the country would need to borrow less than 10% to cover the budgets rather than the current 40%.
The amount borrowed each year to cover the deficit has been shrinking by about 10% each year for the last 3 years as the economy has improved. As the economy improves, tax revenue increases and deficit spending decreases.
What needs to happen is to encourage job creation at the same time spending cuts occur. This would reduce the deficit spending on 2 sides. If businesses were offered a tax break of 1% for each 5% increase in employment they made, we would see a lot more companies hiring. Especially if that reduced tax rate applied to repatriated funds.
But this won't pass nor get voted on in Congress because it supports capitalism and Republicans would vote no since it would create jobs - Just like they have been doing - even on bills just like this in the past with no additional spending, just job creation bills.

Rule #1: When you find yourself in a $16 Trillion hole; stop digging.
The government is broken. The founding fathers created a government with separation of powers and checks and balances. For about a century congress has been creating federal agencies and delegating regulatory power to those agencies to do fulfill their missions. In the beginning it was benign.
Today so much authority has been delegated to the executive branch that congress is irrelevant. The House of Representatives is supposed to have the power of the purse. We have not had a budget in three years and the house has been powerless to force the issue.
If you run afoul of the IRS or the EPA (and a myriad of other federal agencies) you quickly find out that they are policeman, plaintiff, judge, jury, jailer and executioner. You have no rights.
It is unconstitutional for congress to delegate authority to any other body. If congress delegated all its authority to the executive branch we would have a dictatorship. We are pretty much there right now. Obama is talking about minting a $1 Trillion coin to do yet another end run around congress and raise the debt limit without them.

So basically, we as a country have decided to live off of revolving credit cards. Lucky for us, we can just get a new credit card to max out when we want to. The tax increase on the rich will do nothing to make this better because spending has increased more than taxes. We are spending more than we have money to pay. Increasing taxes is not the answer. We have a spending problem, not a taxing problem.

WHEELING - U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin says his measure requiring background checks for those buying firearms at gun shows and over the Internet will return for a vote in the Senate at a later date.
"The Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act" - an amendment to an overall gun legislation bill - was rejected in the Senate after receiving just 54 of the 60 votes needed for passage. Manchin, D-W.Va., co-introduced the measure with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Democratic Caucus members Thursday the Manchin-Toomey amendment "will stay intact" and come up for a vote again in the future, according to Manchin.
"I'm beginning to talk to legislators to find out if there is some reason why they weren't able to vote for it ... ," Manchin said. "We're working with everybody, and I think we will be successful - because common sense, gun sense, it just makes sense."
Reid has set no timeline for the bill's return to the floor, Manchin continued.
In a statement released Wednesday, the National Rifle Association cheered the defeat of the background check amendment.
"This amendment would have criminalized certain private transfers of firearms between honest citizens, requiring lifelong friends, neighbors and some family members to get federal government permission to exercise a fundamental right or face prosecution," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA. "As we have noted previously, expanding background checks, at gun shows or elsewhere, will not reduce violent crime or keep our kids safe in their schools."
Manchin believes some comments made by the NRA regarding the background check proposal may have caused some senators to vote against the measure, and he now needs to clarify his legislation and further explain it to members, he said.
"Here is what the NRA has said that I said was a ... lie," Manchin noted. "They said my bill could prevent families or loved ones from transferring or selling guns to family members or friends and neighbors. They know that is wrong. Why they are saying it, I do not know.
"It doesn't even make sense what they are saying," he added. "That is just how erroneous and misleading they've tried to be."
NRA representatives could not be reached for further comment.
Manchin added those involved with the measure worked hard for three months gathering feedback from those on both sides of the issue to create a proposal that balanced the safety of citizens with protecting the rights of gun owners.
"We were very cautious to make sure we did everything right to protect and expand the Second Amendment. And I think all of our gun enthusiasts and advocates in West Virginia who have seen the language have overwhelmingly supported this legislation. I feel very good about that. If we can meet the test of law abiding gun owners in West Virginia, we can meet the test anywhere."

Deprovisioning in the CloudFriday, May 18th, 2012
Deprovisioning in the Cloud : Cloud Security Alliance Blog
The topic of deprovisioning is familiar to me because this is part of what we do here at Hitachi-ID. I would phrase the problem with cloud access deprovisioning using two questions:
* Who has access to the company cloud services?
* What credential do they need to access the cloud service?
Deprovisioning is something not clearly tackled by "IAM as Service" solutions. It is, however, important to those concerned about cloud security.
When considering deprovisioning in a cloud environment some of the things you may run into are:
* Users accessing shared cloud storage service (e.g. amazon s3)
* Companies building out their application on PaaS or IaaS
* User accounts required to access these cloud services are administrative account and not something separated individually.
* Sometimes all you need is a secret key to remotely manage some cloud servers.
* Administrative account access to your Saleforce (or any SaaS) application.
There is sensitive account/key information that should be kept secured. How do you actually protect privileged access in the cloud? How
would you "deprovision" users from accessing privileged accounts/systems after termination?

The generation function of the Gromow-Witten invariants (with descendants) of the point is known to be Kontsevich-Witten tau-function of KdV, partition functions of $P^1$ and equivariant $P^1$ are known to be tau-functions of extended Toda and 2-Toda respectively. Are there any other manifolds (except of orbifolds made of mentioned previously manifolds ) for which generation functions of GW invariants are identified with tau-functions of some integrable hierarchy?
Short answer: essentially, the point and $P^1$ are the only spaces where the GW generating function is a tau-function. However, you mentioned two variations on this spaces: equivariant orbifold versions. And there are other variations that go a bit further -- twisted and relative invariants, and, a little wilder, Landau-Ginzburg theory. But in all cases, everything seems to be a reduction of either the KP hierarchy or the 2-Today hierarchy.
Twisted Invariants
Let $L_i$ be some line bundles on $X$, and let $B$ be the total space of $\oplus L_i$. The GW theory of $B$ doesn't make sense since it's not compact, and so neither will $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}(B, \beta)$, but we can take a $\mathbb{C}^*$ on $B$ that fixes $X$ and just acts on the fibers, and then use localization on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}(B, \beta)$.
The fixed point locus will be $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}(X, \beta)$, but the invariants will be different because of extra terms coming from the euler class of the normal bundle. We call and so it will make sense to integrate, and we define these to be $GW(B)$, and call them twisted invariants of $X$.
A Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch calculation begun by Mumford and extended and expanded by Faber-Pandharipande and Coates-Givental will reduce $GW(B)$ to $GW(X)$, but in a messy way that would for instance change the invariants, and certainly change around the integrable hierarchy.
So, for instance, in the case of a point, we'll just get integrals over $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, the normal bundle will essentially be copies of the Hodge bundle, and so we'll get $\lambda$ classes appearing in our integrals along with the usual $\psi$ classes: these are called Hodge integrals.
In the case that there is just one line bundle (so $B=\mathbb{C}$, the integral will be linear in the $\lambda$ classes, and will be the integral appearing in the ELSV formula. Kazarian shows that the resulting GW theory satisfies the KP hierarchy.
The case with three line bundles ($B=\mathbb{C}^3$) is the case covered by the topological vertex. As far as I know, there is no known integrable hierarchy satisfying the whole thing. But Zhou has shown that certain specializations lead to KP and 2-Toda type equations.
Similarly, we can twist the GW theory of $\mathbb{P}^1$ and hope to get integrable hierarchies here. Brini has made some progress here for the direct sum of two line bundles, so that $B$ is a three-fold. In particular, for the resolved conifold (the total space of $\mathcal{O}(-1)\oplus\mathcal{O}(-1)$, he gets connections with the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy, apparently some reduction of 2-Toda.
Relative Invariants
Another variation we can play is to use relative invariants, working relative to a divisor.
In dimension zero this doesn't work, but we can work relative to 0 and $\infty$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Okounkov and Pandharipande have shown that this flavor also satisfies some 2-Toda type hierarchy.
In the paper of Zhou mentioned above, he also sets up certain relative generating functions for toric varieties that satisfy KP and 2-Toda hierarchies.
In another direction, if we move slightly away from GW theory we can get more interesting examples. Fan, Jarvis and Ruan have recently finished rigorously constructing a Landau-Ginzburg A-model -- essentially, a Gromov-Witten theory for hypersurface singularities.
These theories have a central charge that acts as a dimension. The central charge 0 case has an ADE classification. Witten conjectured that the theory of these should satisfy the corresponding Kac-Wakimoto / Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction of the KP hierarchy. Note that for $A_1$, this is the Gromov-Witten theory of a point, and the usual KdV hierarchy.
In the $A_r$ case, the analytic machinery of FJR is not needed to define the theory, and it goes under the name $r$-spin curves -- essentially, we're doing integrals over the moduli space of orbifold curves with an chosen $r$-th root of the canonical bundle. Witten's conjecture was proven here by Faber, Shadrin and Zvonkine. FJRW have recently proven the D and E cases.

TORONTO -The city high school stadium soon will have a new lighting system, thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Charles M. and Thelma M. Pugliese Charitable Foundation.
The grant will go a long way toward funding an $80,000 lighting system at the newly renovated stadium, according to Maureen Taggart, high school principal and district communications coordinator.
"We received the $50,000 grant from the foundation to partially fund the final phase of our stadium lighting project," said Taggart, adding renovating the lighting system at the stadium was one of the committee's long-term goals. "When we began the (stadium renovation) we were looking at other improvements the committee would like to make in the future. We were lucky enough to have some benefactors come forward."
Article Photos
The school district received funds from different sources for stadium renovation projects, including a sound system, new scoreboard and lighting.
"David Hindman of World Radio Telecommunications donated all the labor and installation of our new sound system," Taggart said, adding the scoreboard cost about $23,000. "We had a Toronto High School alumnus, Jim Metcalf, donate the cost of the scoreboard for the stadium. We saved the stadium lighting project for last because it was the most expensive project to take on."
Taggart said advances in stadium lighting technology mean the new lighting system will be a substantial improvement.
"Currently the lighting poles interfere with the view from the stand," Taggart said. "They are going to be moved to give a more clear view of the field. The new lighting also will be more even across the field surface. There won't be any shadows on the field."
Taggart said some of the work needed for the new lighting system was done during the recent stadium overhaul.
"We began the lighting project during the renovation to the home grandstand," she said. "We did that because it was cheaper for us to install conduits and light pole foundations while everything was (accessible). The (Pugliese) Grant funds we received will will be used to purchase the lighting equipment. There will be galvanized steel light (fixtures) and lighting assemblies on top of each pole. We want to have the project finished by June. We're still fundraising to cover labor expenses."
Taggart, who wrote the grant proposal for the funds for the lighting system, said the district is grateful for the foundation's support.
"I was overwhelmed at the foundation's generosity," she said. "I just feel honored they considered our project worthy. Clarke Hinkle Field was the first place (local stadium) to host a nighttime (football) game in 1936. It was actually a Herald-Star sports writer who began calling our team the Red Knights. The entire community will benefit from this project."

For someone who just played the final home game of his career, Trevor Griffin surely made the most of it.
The Cardinals' senior leadoff batter went 3-for-4, doubled twice, homered to center and knocked in four runs as Case defeated neighboring rival Somerset Berkley 7-2 in their regular season baseball finale on Saturday morning at Case High School.
Griffin scored the Cardinals' first run in the first after doubling to center and the very next inning he drove the ball into left-center gap, plating teammates John Elderkin and Bret Jardin, giving Case (13-7) an early 3-0 advantage. Corey Maynard and Cotey Monte each followed with RBI singles to make it 5-0.
In the bottom half of the fourth with the score 5-1 and Modesto Rivera (2-for-3) on second, Griffin trotted the bases after sending an 0-1 offering from SB's Mike Pettine off the tree in center field.
"I felt good, just trying to put the bat on the ball and have a good memory of my last home game," Griffin said. "This memory definitely tied with my first home run here, but the fact that I got two doubles pushes it ahead and it was against our rivals, so it felt good to do that too."
"Trevor played a great game," Case head coach Joel Brown said. "I really wanted to focus on the fact that this would be the boys' last home game and for the seniors the last time they play on this field so I told them to go out and be aggressive."
Cardinals right-hander John Elderkin was terrific in his five-inning performance, allowing an earned run on a pair of hits and struck out two to pick up the win.
"He really hit his locations, mixed it up, just enough to keep (Somerset) off balance," said Brown. "The defense was fantastic, SB hit the ball hard but we made the plays."
"Early aggression with the bats will be key for us," Brown said. "We've won four games in a row because we've gotten a quick three outs and then gone and scored some runs, getting ahead of all these guys."
Zac Correll took the hill for the last two frames and punched out three Raiders. The Raiders (7-13) used seniors Nick Carreira, Mike Pettine, Kevin Dickinson, and Jack Moniz on the rubber during their final high school game.
"They're all fantastic kids and great individuals," SB head coach Dennis Almeida said. "They're all going to play ball in college so we wish them well. They've been great for our program."We've been very inconsistent this year hitting, but the potential is there. Hopefully next year we'll be more consistent."
Page 2 of 2 - SB got on the board in the fifth when Chip Wood scored on a throwing error by Case's infield and he crossed home again in the sixth on Cody Julius' RBI base hit to center.

I have many pictures that I have taken on the RAW setting for editing purposes on my Nikon D3200 camera. I am able to zoom in on a subject in the picture but cannot figure out how to save that zoomed in picture. For instance, in quick edit mode I can zoom in on a bird in the picture bringing it into closer view but cannot save that zoomed in picture- Is there a way to do this?
Assuming you are using the D3200 in-camera editing features:
The Quick Retouch option will only allow you to edit and save the amount of auto saturation and contrast. It allows you to zoom to get a better view of a particular part of the picture, but you cannot save a crop from that option.
You need to use the Trim option that is near the top of the list just below D-Lighting and Red-Eye Correction.
It is all on page 152 of your Reference Manual.
With NEF (RAW) files, I would recommend you first use the NEF (RAW) processing option outlined on page 157 and then apply the crop to the new JPEG saved from that operation using the Trim menu option.
I'm going to guess you're not doing this in-camera, but in Photoshop Elements. If so, in Quick Edit mode, don't zoom in, just select the Crop Tool from the tools menu (shortcut is the "C" key on your keyboard). You'll get a frame you can position around the area you want to save.

KILLEEN (October 5, 2012)—A late-night shooting in a Killeen neighborhood left one soldier dead and a second soldier injured.
A local resident who was taken into custody at the scene of the shooting was later released pending further investigation, police said Friday evening.
Police identified the dead man as Jamie Lee Schnider, 22.
The other victim, a 21-year-old soldier, who was shot in the upper torso, was taken first to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, and then was flown to Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
His name wasn't immediately released, but police said he was in stable condition Friday.
The shooting evidently resulted from what started as an argument that started after three men confronted a resident at a home at 3601 Holbert Dr. in Killeen.
The argument turned physical when one of the men attacked the resident, police said, and shots were fired.
The shooting was reported just before 11 p.m.
Schnider was pronounced dead just after 11:35 p.m.
An autopsy was ordered.
Officers took the resident of the home into custody, but he was later released.

'Fantasy Defense' in Trial
Jury to Begin Hearing Evidence Against NYPD Officer Accused in Cannibal Plot
Federal prosecutors are poised Monday to make their case that a New York City police officer intended to cross the line between cannibalistic fantasy and reality.
Gilberto Valle, 28 years old, pleaded not guilty in November to one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping after the government alleged he plotted over several months in 2012 to kidnap women and then rape, cook and eat them.
While none of the alleged plots came to fruition, Mr. Valle faces a prison term of 20 years to life if he is convicted. The Queens man was suspended from the police force after his arrest in October.
Opening statements in the trial, which is in federal court in Manhattan after the FBI initiated the case, are to start Monday.
Pretrial hearings indicate the trial is likely to raise issues of free speech and to usher jurors down unsettling corridors of the Internet, in particular a website known as Darkfetishnet.com that the defense team doesn't dispute Mr. Valle frequented.
In its criminal complaint, the government alleges Mr. Valle left a trail of graphic emails, chats and photographs that documented cannibalistic desires and intent to act on them. When allegedly asked in one Internet chat, "How big is your oven?" Mr. Valle allegedly responded, "Big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs."
Mr. Valle's defense so far has been as straightforward as the allegations against him are twisted.
At several bail and pretrial hearings, defense attorney Julia Gatto has repeatedly asserted that Mr. Valle is a fetishist who may have "deviant" sexual fantasies but never crossed the line into action. "They may be disgusting topics of conversation, we may be offended, but it's just talk and without more it's not criminal," Ms. Gatto said at Mr. Valle's arraignment in October.
Mr. Valle's attorneys say they are mounting what is essentially a so-called fantasy defense, a strategy that for Internet-related allegations dates to 1995 in the U.S. That year a 20-year-old University of Michigan student was arrested after posting a story on an Internet bulletin board that his lawyer, Douglas Mullkoff, said "described kidnapping and sexual brutality" involving a female classmate.
The student was arrested on a federal charge of transmitting a threat to kidnap or injure by electronic email. "They were treating his fiction as if it were real," said Mr. Mullkoff, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
A judge dismissed the case, ruling that while the student's story was "a rather savage and tasteless piece of fiction," it was protected free speech.
Audrey Rogers, a professor at Pace Law School, in White Plains, said the "fantasy defense" had been used predominantly by men charged with attempting to have sex with minors after being caught in Internet stings in which police posed as children.
"The defendant will say they were just role-playing, they always knew they were talking to another adult or they never planned to do it," she said.
Ms. Rogers said the defense was successful in a few cases but that most defendants claiming it have been convicted.
In the Valle case, the judge has granted a defense request to allow Sergey Merenkov to testify via video link from Russia about Darkfetishnet.com, which he founded and operates.
The website is "at the core of Mr. Valle's case," wrote Ms. Gatto in court papers, because it is where Mr. Valle "interacted in cyberspace" with a second man charged in the case, Michael Vanhise, and other alleged fetishists.
Mr. Vanhise, 22 years old, of Trenton, N.J., also faces a charge of conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and he has pleaded not guilty. His case is working its way through Manhattan federal court and a trial date hasn't been set. His attorney, Alice Fontier, said Mr. Vanhise "never planned, intended, or had the ability to carry out any of the crimes alleged by the prosecution."
In their motion to have Mr. Merenkov testify, the defense team said he told their investigators that his website has more than 37,500 members.
According to the same motion, Mr. Merenkov also will testify that many members post photographs of real people about whom they subsequently express online sexual fantasies. Website members are encouraged to "speak to each other in whatever manner they want and to engage in as realistic sounding role-play as they want," the court papers contend.
Mr. Merenkov will also testify that no one monitors the chats and that members often exchange personal emails to continue their communications off-site because his website is too slow, the defense papers state.
Mr. Valle's attorneys have said in court and in court papers that Mr. Merenkov's testimony will likely prove important to the defense. Prosecutors Randall Jackson and Hadassa Waxman have argued at hearings and in court documents that Mr. Valle's plots were real—not merely fantasy—because he used photos of women he knew and he attempted to avoid the website's monitoring system by shifting his conversations to personal email and chat accounts.
Mr. Valle's defense also plans to call Park Dietz, a California forensic psychiatrist who examined Mr. Valle. Defense attorneys have indicated in court papers that Dr. Dietz would testify that Mr. Valle's online writings "indicate sexually sadistic sexual fantasies" but that he found no evidence that Mr. Valle suffered from mental illness or displayed signs of personality disorders associated with violence.
Dr. Dietz is set to testify that Mr. Valle's fetish interests seem to have originated in early adolescence, when he watched the 1994 film "The Mask," which contains a scene in which a character portrayed by actress Cameron Diaz pretended to be abducted and bound, the court papers state.
Other evidence prosecutors plan to introduce includes a document recovered from Mr. Valle's computer that court papers, redacting the name of the alleged victim, stated was titled, "Abducting and Cooking (Victim 1)." That document includes her name, date of birth, height, weight and bra size, prosecutors say. Mr. Valle's attorneys say the document is evidence of fantasy, not a plan to act.
The indictment also lists two "overt acts" allegedly committed by Mr. Valle that prosecutors are set to argue proved steps were taken to carry out the kidnapping plots.
On July 22, prosecutors allege, Mr. Valle traveled to Maryland and met for lunch a female friend from college about whom—in messages with Mr. Vanhise—he had discussed kidnapping and cooking.
Ms. Gatto told The Wall Street Journal the defense isn't disputing that Mr. Valle participated in electronic communications in which that friend is named, but that it was only an element of his fantasies—and that he brought his wife and baby to the lunch.
Mr. Valle's now-estranged wife couldn't be reached for comment. According to defense and prosecution papers filed in the case, Mr. Valle's wife contacted authorities after discovering Mr. Valle's communications on his computer and is staying with her family in Nevada.
On May 31, Mr. Valle allegedly accessed the federal National Crime Information Center database without authorization to obtain information about a woman whom authorities say they matched to a file on Mr. Valle's computer containing the names and information of more than 100 women. Mr. Valle has pleaded not guilty to a charge of accessing that computer database without authorization.
Prosecutors also want to have an FBI agent testify to his analysis of Mr. Valle's cellphone-data records, which prosecutors say show Mr. Valle placed calls that were routed through cell towers near some of the homes or workplaces of victims they alleged he was stalking.
The defense is disputing the agent's analysis, saying the cellphone calls can be initially routed through cell towers blocks or even miles away.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul Gardephe has scheduled a hearing Monday morning—before opening statements begin—to determine if he will allow the agent to testify.

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and several other Arab leaders began deliberations today at the 21st Arab Summit in Doha.
Addressing the inaugural session, Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad Al-Thani expressed appreciation for the Arab reconciliation initiative advanced by King Abdullah at the Kuwait summit earlier this year. He also welcomed the participation of King Abdullah in the G-20 economic summit to be held Thursday in London. "We do feel that King Abdullah will represent all of us at the summit and we hope he will succeed in his mission," the Qatari Emir said. "I am certain that King Abdullah will represent the interests of the Arab world and even the developing countries and their aspirations."
King Abdullah's call for Arab solidarity was praised during a number of speeches, including those delivered by Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Sabah, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad; Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Mousa, Jordan's King Abdullah II, Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir, Lebanese President Michael Suleiman, Moroccan King Mohammad VI, Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Chairman of the Transitional Arab Parliament Mohammad Al-Saqr and Tunisian President Zine Al-Abidine.

5 Amazing Performances From Actors Who Weren't Acting
#2. Casablanca: The Marseillaise Scene
Casablanca is one of those movies that you watch and think about how awesome it would be if it hadn't become cliche 60 years ago. It sits at No. 2 on the AFI's greatest films list, and just about every scene holds some significance in pop culture. Even if you haven't seen it, you can probably piece the story together through the oft-repeated catchphrases.
Girl walks in to gin joint, kid gets looked at, beautiful friendship begins, Sam plays it, roll credits.
Rick (Humphrey Bogart) is upstairs chatting with Laszlo, notorious resistance leader and husband to Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman). Some German patrons begin to annoy the other customers by rudely singing "Die Wacht am Rhein" (loose translation: "Stab the French with Our Rock-Hard German Penises"). To this point, Rick had stayed pretty neutral on the whole "Nazi" issue. But in this pivotal scene, Rick lends a single nod of support Laszlo's way. Laszlo and the other bar patrons find the courage to drown out the Nazis with their own patriotic verse of "La Marseillaise" (loose translation: "The Marseillaise"), and the Nazis, thoroughly out-Glee-ed, leave in a huff.
The patrons celebrate their small victory, some clearly moved to tears. The thing is, nothing in the script actually called for crying. Unlike most of the entries on this list, this one has less to do with a sociopathic director and more to do with the time and place the film was made.
See, this was a World War II movie ... that was being filmed in the middle of World War goddamned II.
That wasn't even a prop gun.
It's easy to forget that part, now that hundreds of movies (and seemingly thousands of video games) have been based on the war in the decades since it ended. Casablanca was shot in 1941 during the German occupation of France, at a point where many questioned whether or not the United States would ever step in to help, and when nobody knew how the whole thing was going to turn out.
And the scene included actors who, in real life, had a lot at stake. To shoot Casablanca as a believable port town, producers brought together one of the most ethnically diverse casts in film history, and a lot of these extras turned out to be Europeans who had fled to America to escape the Nazis -- that is, they were basically real-life refugees. They had left homes, friends and families behind, and at this point really didn't know if things could ever return to normal. Which makes us wonder if the director didn't stage the whole war just to get that scene.
"No, they have to be real Nazis."
#1. The Blair Witch Project (The Entire Movie)
The Blair Witch Project tells a very simple story: Three college students head out into the woods to make a documentary about witches. They argue and bitch at each other for 89 minutes, until mercifully they finally die. Some unspecified amount of time later, a major film company finds their footage and exploits the tragic snuff film for millions of dollars.
"I'm so glad we didn't share any of this with their stupid families!"
That's the story we're intended to believe, anyway, and it's not hard to see why early audiences were sucked in (the entire viral ad campaign was based around people believing in the "found footage" nature of the film). The directors perfectly captured the feel of a documentary being made by a bunch of cold, hungry amateurs. They did it by giving some amateurs a camcorder and leaving them in the woods for a week.
The Blair Witch Project was radically innovative, in the way that duct taping a camera to a toddler would also be an innovation. It did away with needless conventions like a "script" or "acting" and opted instead to make sure every scare was a surprise for the actors. The only written lines were given to the creepy townspeople in the film's opening -- the main characters were instructed to do random interviews, and the directors sneaked in these real, actual actors to mess with them.
And we thought this was just a normal 20-year-old dressed like an 80-year-old hanging out with a 60-year-old.
Everything else was contained to a 35-page outline with various info on the myth and a vague rundown of the plot and scenes. And that was it. Most of the filming took place over an eight-day camping trip. The directors would meet with the trio to give them supplies, a basic outline for the day's shooting and directions to where they would meet up next. They then left them to improvise and essentially film their hike to the next rendezvous. Quite a few of the scenes were of the three literally getting lost.
Sometimes the directors would stay back and stalk the kids, breaking sticks or throwing rocks just out of sight. The cast got more and more exhausted, cold and sleep deprived, and the crew would sneak onto their campsite in the middle of the night to play clips of children's laughter and violently shake the tents. On top of this, they would give the three actors less food every day to gradually make them angrier and more ragged.
"No way, guys, this does not count as a urinal.
The more you read about it, the more The Blair Witch Project seems like a cruel, eight-day-long joke that somebody decided to splice into a movie. They were never able to obtain funding for their next project, Surprised Shoppers at the Mall Getting Hit in the Nuts With a Baseball Bat.
