"Hey! That's My Neighbor" highlight is a great place to find a monthly reminder that there are a lot of good people doing everyday types of good deeds as they go through the day - just about any day.
But, chances are you won't run in to them standing still long enough to get more than the occasional pat on the back from others for their efforts. A reality that more often than not is just fine with them, as things like public acclaim, and being fussed over as thanks for a job well done are not the reasons they do things like donating their time, talents, and resources to the interests they find important in the communities they respectively call home.
This month's selected person to highlight is long-time Bellaire resident Lou Ann Bennett.
Article Photos
Photos provided
Lou Ann Bennett, right, January's "Hey!?That's my neighbor" honoree, poses with her friend Nancy Raeder aboard the plane Bosslift 2012. Raeder nominated her friend "because of all she does all year long for the Village of Bellaire, and the people who live here."
Bennett, right, sings during a holiday event.
As Chamber of Commerce President, Bennett, fourth from left, attends many Chamber ribbon cutting ceremonies.
Bennett takes on one of her many projects – cutting weeds and cleaning up garbage throughout Bellaire.
Her nomination was brought forward by one of her closest friends, Nancy Raeder.
"I'm nominating Lou Ann Bennett of Bellaire because of all she does all year long for the Village of Bellaire, and the people who live here," said Nancy Raeder.
"She not only serves her community by acting as a city council person, she also has served as President of the Chamber of Commerce and built its membership to over 100 businesses in under two year's time.
"She and her family work with the Chamber to make the Christmas Parade in Bellaire something to make the village proud," reflected Raeder. "This year alone she personally changed over a thousand burned out light bulbs in the village's Christmas lights so the parade would shine."
"She organizes and puts on the Easter Egg Hunt, the All American Days Festival and Boo in the Park, as well as seeing that the children admitted to Belmont Community Hospital in Bellaire get a 'Boo Boo Baby' package when they are admitted. She does this with the help of her family and a small group of friends and associates," said Raeder of her friend and co-worker. "The community is lucky to have a woman who puts so much effort into getting donations to put on the events, organizing the people needed to make them happen, and even getting down to cleaning up after each event. And when the 'Clean up Bellaire Days' come up, she is the first one on the street cleaning up the town."
"This is just a tip of the iceberg list of what this woman gives to her community. I am proud to call her my friend and if anyone deserves recognition for their contribution, Lou Ann Bennett does," stated Raeder passionately.
Bennett and Raeder work side-by-side on numerous projects in and around the Bellaire community where they both live, making the work as light spirited as possible as they work diligently to make a difference for their families, friends, neighbors and business associates.
Nothing in the course of her daily life stands a chance of being considered uninteresting by this wife, mother, friend, mother-in-law, grandmother, local businesswoman, and what just might be considered a "professional" community advocate and any and all things tied to Bellaire.
While a person who can readily focus on several goals and tasks at once shortly after visiting last year's Oil and Gas event in the St. Clairsville, area she learned that as a result of a drawing held in connection with the event, she had been selected to be one of two persons eligible to ride along on a military mid-air refueling exercise.
Not one to keep the fun all to herself, she found a way to share the unique experience with her companion to the event and proverbial right hand when it comes to getting VIP lists successfully addressed - Raeder.
The adventure was a once in a lifetime opportunity packed with all the little and big things that can easily make being part of such an event a lifelong memory guaranteed to bring a huge smile to the face of anyone who has "been there - done that."
Her many volunteer service relationships with the local community and local organizations have included commitments such as: serving as a Cub Scout leader, Cub Scout master, Girl Scout leader, PTA president, Bellaire Eagles president, homeroom mother for family members in the Martins Ferry school system and the Bellaire schools; and the after school program "Homework Helpers" at the First United Methodist Church in Bellaire. She has been active in the leadership of the Cumberland Trail Genealogical Society, the Upper Ohio Valley Landlord Association, the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Festival Committee; serving as chair of the All American Days Committee; National Day of Prayer; the Elks and much more.
It seems her leadership and volunteerism standards have been - by habit - now shared with a number of her family and friends to the point it has become a standing tradition that many of them will annually schedule personal days and or vacation days off work so they can support a local venture as a formidable group of family and friends able to successfully work together for the love of each other and of the community they consider to be "home."
So what fun is there in a tightly packed schedule that involves countless opportunities to share talents, time and resources with the family and friends you love and with others in a community you have called home for most of your entire life - all simply because you love the very special community called your home? It is a place where you can feel perfectly comfortable sitting down at the keyboard of the organ - something she's played since childhood - and lifting musical strains to the heavens for the simple joy of the experience and of opportunities to share the joys of your life with others.
We want to hear from you! Send us your neighbor nominee
Do you know someone who goes out of his or her way to help others??Has someone supported or helped you out in your time of need? If so, we want to hear from you! Send your name and phone number, the nominee's name and phone number and the reason for their nomination to Shaunna Dunder Hershberger, The Times Leader, 200 S. Fourth St., Martins Ferry, Ohio 43935 or email email@example.com

Sen. Joe Manchin is the honorary co-chairman of No Labels - a group seeking to build bipartisan cooperation in Washington.
But Manchin, D-W.Va., wonders if the art of compromise has evaporated in Washington's political climate.
"You've got 75 percent of the congressional districts that are bulletproof, and people (members of Congress) don't have to compromise," he said. "If they take the hard left or the hard right, that's the district they represent and they think they're OK. If you're just thinking about yourself and your politics ... I guess you'll be fine if you just leave it like it is.
"But sooner or later you're going to want to do something, or why in the world are you here? I would think people would have better things to do with their lives than not getting anything done," he continued. "They're supposed to be representing the government and moving it forward. To sit there and watch it deteriorate ... you might as well be watching paint dry."
Manchin and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican, are the honorary co-chairmen of No Labels. On its website, the group says it is "dedicated to promoting a new politics of problem solving" in Washington.
"This is the only venue I know of in the two years I've been here that I have a chance to sit down with my colleagues - not just with Democratic and Republican colleagues in the Senate, but also my colleagues in the House - who are absolutely as frustrated as I am and want to solve the problems of this country," Manchin added.
No Labels has about "30-40 members" from among the 435 members of Congress, according to Manchin. The group provides them the opportunity to build relationships and trust among their colleagues, he said.
The only criteria for lawmakers joining No Labels is that when there is a difficult decision, they must be willing to put their country first above their political party or own self-interest. Manchin said No Labels will be looking to the business and industry sectors to help pressure the House and Senate to compromise and make Congress work.

I actually wanted just a fake loading scene. For a fake loading scene, how do I make a time variable or a time Method? I'm still a fresh java programmer!
As fresh java programmer, at first try to have basics, then do it through an example and then you are expert (use professional libraries for your projects).
Basics #
Core Example #
Open Source Library #
Slick provides a way to get this loading bar style initialisation - called deferred loading. When deferred loading is enabled all the calls to load resoures (images, sounds, music, fonts etc) are wrapped in the library to load only the explicit data required for the resource immediately.
For more details, go through the followings
You can use java Timer. Draw a rect somewhere on your screen as a progress bar and increase his width regarding the elapsed/remaining time, it can be done with a really simple percentage operation.
yourSceneLoader can be a class in charge of handling the loading of your scenes, regarding the code above it should implements ActionListener and in the actionPerformed method:
You don't necessarily have to use a Timer but it's a way to achieve what you want and you can easily control how fast the progress bar progress.
Also if you want to do real loading, you can read this.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of a NN5/RD16. In the meantime I'm testing out stitching with a friend's Manfrotto 303.
My intention is to make high res rectilinear images - no panoramas, or 360VR tours. Software: PTGui Pro.
After testing for a few days I've established a nice workflow for shooting portrait format images. Camera (D700) mounted vertically. Shoot a reference frame (to establish crop) with a 24mm lens. Swap 24mm lens for a 50mm, shoot centre frame, then 8 around - so a grid of 9 images (3x3).
I'd like to use the exact same workflow for shooting landscape format images, but this would require mounting the camera in landscape orientation. I know the NN5 is not intended to be used like this, but could it be adapted in some way? I'm looking at the Kirk L-plate on my D700 - the plate is on the wrong side of the camera for the NN5, but maybe I could mount the camera upside down?
Note - I fully understand that stitched landscape format images can be shot with the camera in it's default vertical position. But I'm curious to see if I can get my workflow identical (3x3 grid) for portrait and landscape images. (Capturing a decent single frame reference image, prior to shooting the stitched components, is important for me - at least whilst I'm learning the intricacies of PTGui.) I also realise that if I can get this working, the NN5 settings will be different for vertical and horizontal camera orientations.

5 Irrational Fears (Even Rational People Have)
Crowds are stupid. People panic over every "end of the world" theory they read about on the Internet, forward each other emails claiming Barack Obama is building concentration camps and they repeat urban legends without taking five seconds to verify them on Snopes.
Does Lady GaGa really have a penis? Find out...
But everybody can get taken in sometimes. Just look at these panics that seemed to draw in lots of well-educated types right along with the rubes. Like...
#5. Swine Flu
Cough. Within 30 seconds, someone in your office will ask if you have Swine Flu. If you say you do, you will be quarantined by a crowd bearing pitchforks and torches.
That scene is repeating itself all over the globe, to varying degrees. In Japan, they're selling a suit that makers claim can repel the H1N1 virus. In the Middle East, Iranian officials have banned their devout from going on Pilgrimage to Muslim holy sites, including Mecca, to avoid contamination. Saudi Arabia is requiring that pilgrims coming to Mecca provide proof of vaccination. For the very few of our readers who aren't devout Muslims, that's like canceling Christmas and making Aunt Ethel stand out in the snow until she shows you her small pox scar.
Why It Sounds Rational:
It's Swine Flu! Didn't the news say that this shit had the potential to kill like 100-million people?
And the news is never misleading.
And look at the response! The U.S. is preparing to vaccinate half the freaking population in under a year. That's never even been attempted before. Not even with Polio.
If you don't speak the language of local and cable news, allow us to translate: THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, PEOPLE! Get in your Swine Flu bunkers before it's too late!
Why It's Not:
The current pandemic of Swine Flu has claimed less than 3,000 lives. Well... that's still pretty bad, right? After all, that's like a flu-caused 9/11. Then again, the ordinary flu, that gives us the sniffles every year? That one kills several hundred thousand people around the world.
The reason for the early panic is that they believed this virus was a descendant of the 1918 Spanish Flu that wiped out a jaw-dropping 50-million people. And while it was obviously not as deadly, the fear was that it would eventually mutate into something like its apocalyptic ancestor.
Also, it's got a scary name.
Swine Flu mascot briefly considered by the CDC.
It hasn't lived up to it. Even the World Health Organization is describing this as a "moderate" outbreak. Their advice? Same as with the regular flu. Babies and old people should get vaccinated. The rest of your should wash your hands and stay away from sick people.
The World Health Organization would also like to remind everyone that it's safe to go back to eating your pork rinds, as there is no proof that pork causes Swine Flu and you cannot believe everything you read on fucking Twitter.
#4. Killer Asteroids
Giant killer asteroids aren't just something Michael Bay dreamed up so he'd have an excuse to flatten Paris on the big screen. Stephen Hawking just made headlines around the Web by proclaiming that the biggest reason intelligent life doesn't develop on planets is because they get wiped out by huge fucking space rocks before they have the chance.
Asteroids could have stopped this.
Experts have conferences on how to orchestrate a "planetary defense" against such threats and magazines like Popular Science do articles every year on the asteroid menace.
Holy shit!
Why It Sounds Rational:
It's true that asteroids and comets are everywhere. Scientists guesstimate that somewhere between 18,000 to 84,000 meteorites bigger than 10-grams hit Earth every year. Our planet's crust is pock marked with proof that meteorites have slammed into Earth time and time again.
Why It's Not:
We're not disagreeing with Mr. Hawking here. It's that people tend to take what experts like him say and extrapolate it into, "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AT ANY MOMENT" because that makes such a better headline. For instance, the story linked above got sent around the Internet with the headline, "Stephen Hawking: Asteroid Impacts are the Biggest Threat." As if he was saying we should be more worried about asteroids than global warming or curing cancer.
He wasn't. He was saying that it takes millions of years for life to evolve and if you wait millions of years, eventually a big-ass asteroid will hit.
To be ranked as a planet killer, an asteroid has to be pegged as a 10 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale. Currently, scientists can only find one asteroid near Earth that ranks even a one on that scale, never mind a 10. Everything else is a zero.
So how dangerous is that level one asteroid? It has about a one in 3,000 chance of hitting the Earth 40 or 50 years from now, and it's one-hundredth the size of the one they think killed the dinosaurs.
Again, we're not saying it can't possibly happen. It's that the odds are overwhelming that you will die of something else long before it does.
#3. Cloning
Let's face it: There is not a single movie in the history of science fiction where cloning has turned out well. It's no surprise that when scientists in the 90s managed to clone a sheep named Dolly, the news media lost their shit.
Even the most enlightened, forward-thinking guy you know will hesitate to eat a steak that he's been told was cloned, and that guy will react even worse if his parents tell him they're going to clone him a little brother.
In fact, in 2008, the European Union called for a ban of all cloning for commercial purposes, meaning that no cloned critter bits could be brought into the European market and would prohibit everything from T-bone steaks to leather fetish gear being made from clones.
Why It Sounds Rational:
There just seems like so, so many ways this could go wrong. Science takes a few cells, bakes them in their magic E-Z Bake Ovens and produces an animal that was not conceived in any natural way. Then along come the venture capitalists, pie-eyed with dreams of cloning pets at exorbitant prices and filling private zoos with extinct species. The next thing we know we're all living in Jurassic Park without a dinosaur expert in sight.
Why It's Not:
First, what scientists are trying desperately to do is clone cells, as there are all sorts of medical breakthroughs that can happen if we learn how to grow certain kinds of cells at will. But cloning whole creatures is also in the cards, and fears about that seem to break down like this:
"Imagine a future of identical, soulless clones! All respect for human life would be ruined!"
It would be a shame if people started trivializing human life.
They're not talking about building a machine that spits out fully-grown human photocopies. They're talking about cloning embryos and letting them grow up normally. You can still think they're unnatural and weird, in the sense that you are also free to think identical twins are unnatural and weird. But if you treat them as less than human, you're the dick in that situation.
"The cloning process will produce horrific deformed cloned babies!"
The manufacture of grotesque flipper-babies for our amusement is probably already illegal where you live and if it's not, it soon will be. No one is in favor of that.
"It's playing God! And who can predict the effect such tinkering would have on the ecosystem?"
Actually, we've been "cloning" living things for thousands of years. We're talking about plants here, and farming depends on it. The result has been better plants that produce more food for everyone, without a single sentient man-eating plant to be found (though we probably tried).
It should also be noted that this is one of those technologies people assume is way further along than it actually is. Possibly because some publicity-seeking mad scientist comes along every few years and makes an outrageous claim about cloning humans or something else equally sure to get him headlines. Said scientist always proceeds to offer zero evidence, and then quietly slips back into obscurity, never to be heard from again.
Real scientists have managed to clone about a dozen species... almost all of which immediately die. Remember Dolly, the cloned sheep? Professor Wilmut, the scientist behind that project, has abandoned cloning as a technique. A team in South Korea that had claimed massive breakthroughs in the field turned out to be frauds.
What we're saying is we're much closer to a robot dinosaur rampage than a cloned dinosaur rampage, and urge scientists to put their efforts there instead.

I have local ikiwiki on my notebook (with apache as local webserver). When I save an edit the first time after booting and logging in, saving is very slow (but the second time saving is at normal speed). Any idea how to fix this?
Click edit the first time:~ 30 Sek. (it says "waiting for localhost")
Click save the fisrt time:~1 min 30 Sek (it says "waiting for localhost")
Click edit the second time: <3 Sek.
Click save the second time: ~4 Sek.
The problem is independent of beeing online or not.
I am using git as backend.

As the new semester begins, all faculty members, all research personnel, as well as staff who support department compliance reporting processes, and students engaged in research (i.e. all personnel responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research) are reminded of the requirement to complete a Disclosure of External Professional Activities (DEPA) annually, and to update DEPAS, as needed, within 30 days of any status change.
Failure to report can result in a delay in the establishment, renewal and continuation of speedtypes; delayed processing of grant/contract proposals; delayed approval from compliance review committees such as IRB, IACUC, etc. In addition, following the required processes helps to safeguard you, your department, and the University, as a whole, in the event of an outside audit. Please read this message in its entirety. The CU-Boulder COI website has additional details and helpful links.http://www.colorado.edu/vcr/coi It is also important to remember the following:
2. Regular and periodic consulting activities (per the 1/6th rule) require department approval:http://www.colorado.edu/vcr/coi/forms-checklists
3. PHS/NIH Investigators have additional (federal) requirements:

Unanswered: How to prevent a 2nd line in a multiline chart from extending off the viewable area
I have a multiline chart which it's x axis is based on time and it's y axis is based off of calculations performed. The first line is the total calculations per hour. The 2nd line is the average calculations per hour. Occasionally the calculations will spike drastically causing it to be much larger than the average line. When this happens, the larger line will extend off the viewable area of the chart. Is there a way to force the chart scale according to the larger line so that all results can be viewed?

I have had issues with the chart handling this myself. I turned to loading the store and then creating the chart after the store has loaded. Haven't tried it in 4.1 or 4.2 tho.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

The 5 Most Unsettling Disney Theme Park Easter Eggs
We've mentioned before how Disney parks aren't strictly rainbows and tri-circled sunshine. While you and your family are waiting in lines and posting Facebook pictures to brag about how much fun you're having, there are secrets hiding all around you.
If you know where to look, you can find ...
#5. The Underground Kingdom
As you walk through the gates of Disney World, you're probably so overwhelmed by the magic of childhood that you don't notice that you're walking up an ever-so-slight incline. That incline is there because you're on the roof of a ground-level tunnel system -- and you're one story in the air. By the time you reach Cinderella Castle, you've actually made it up to a third-story level. That's because Disney World was built on top of a huge series of tunnels and rooms called utility corridors, or Utilidors.
In case you ever wondered what the Death Star would be like if it were 400 percent more whimsical.
Shortly after Disneyland opened, Walt Disney realized that it looked kind of odd when he had cowboys walking through Tomorrowland and astronauts walking through a Renaissance fair. When it came time to build Disney World, he wasn't having none of that shit. Before any of the park pavement went down and before any of the rides went up, Disney had a series of tunnels, dressing rooms and secret doors built first. And everything else went on top.
Kingdom Keepers Wiki
"Disney World is finally complete, the culmination of my life's work oh shit we forgot to build air holes!"
But the fact that you're walking on top of a secret city isn't even the sinister part. If you've ever been to a Disney park, one thing will stand out: It's clean. Thousands and thousands of people are all around you, most of them kids, and there is zero trash on the ground. No sticky gum residue, no used condoms or old panties to be seen anywhere. Everything is clean. Have you guessed why? Because people are popping up out of the ground to clean that shit up, like mole people, quickly disappearing back into their subterranean kingdom with you none the wiser. The only way to figure out where they're coming from is to casually dump a purse full of fingernail clippings on the ground and stand aside to watch what happens.
Now, if you're into totally ruining everything, you can tour the tunnels for a fee. But only if you're 16 or older, because the last thing 14-year-olds need is something else to be cynical about. Just know that you're in for seeing a half-dressed Mickey flirting it up with Ariel while the Mad Hatter pays for his tuna salad in the cafeteria.
"Hey Dopey, can I bum a smoke?"
#4. The Secret Clubs
Imagine you're enjoying a day with your family at Disneyland and you find yourself at New Orleans Square. As you and your kids argue over which attraction is the New Orleansiest, you notice a nondescript door next to the Blue Bayou Restaurant. That in itself is no big deal ... you see doors all over the Disney kingdoms. It's probably a facade.
Or a place where children are taken from unattended strollers down to the Utilidors, ne'er to be seen again.
But then you see someone walk up to the door, all stealthy-like, remove a secret panel and press a buzzer. A voice from the interior of the door wants to know the name of the sneaky person and the number in his party. Then the door opens and the person disappears. He's a member of a secret club you'll never ever be invited to join. Club 33.
When Walt Disney designed his park, he realized that his teeny-tiny apartment on Main Street wouldn't be large or roach-free enough to host big-time visitors. So in addition to building a second apartment for himself and his family above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, he also commissioned a secret VIP lounge for entertaining dignitaries and celebrities. As for the name of the secret club, you could say it was simply the street address on the door, 33 Royal Street. Or you could count up the number of original sponsors that made Disneyland happen and do the conspiratorial math. (It was 33. There were 33 sponsors.)
Disneyland Club 33
"Pay millions of dollars to sponsor a club that only like a hundred people will ever see!"
So how exclusive is this club? Membership is rumored at 500 people. Total. In the world. Sure, you can submit a written application to get on the waiting list, the same list that often goes years without bumping anyone up. But just know that if, by some miracle of the Lord of Disney, you're moved to the top of the list, you should be ready to shell out $25,000 initially, then $10,000 a year for the privilege of just getting in the door.
Once inside the club, as if that will ever happen, you'll find yourself in a restaurant in line with turn-of-the-century French decor, except that the rooms are decorated with actual props and concept art from Disney movies. And antiques selected by Mrs. Disney herself. If, on the other hand, you live the rest of your years as a regular schmuck like the rest of us, just know that people are secretly partying in secret rooms at Disneyland. Oh, and at the California Adventure Park, too. Same deal. You're not invited.
"Care for some of Jesus Christ's private shiraz, or perhaps a Velociraptor steak?"
Another place you should never expect to visit is the suite in Cinderella Castle at Disney World. Originally intended as (yet another) living space for Walt, the 650-square-foot apartment wasn't finished when Walt died, so it was never actually occupied. Fast forward to 2007 and the Disney company had the amazing idea of refurbishing the suite and granting overnight access to random guests. People. Got to live. In. Cinderella Castle. Overnight.
Once you've banged there, the Mile High Club just seems so lame.
The secret suite is only accessed by a hidden elevator that leads to the fourth floor of the castle. And you can get a reservation by calling 1-800-NOPE. You can't stay there. Jonas Brothers can stay there. But you can't.
#3. Scent-Based Mind Control
Visit any Disney park and you'll find your senses immersed in a world of joy and wonder. Gone are the traffic noises of Anaheim and the swamp stink of Florida. Everything is pleasant here, because Disney has your very sensations under lock and key. Music massages your ear holes while the clean, bright streets make you nostalgic for a time that never actually existed. At the top of the list of sinister ways the park is shaping your experience is the Smellitzer, a patented scent generator that makes sure you're smelling exactly what they want you to smell.
"Smell the glove, hu-ha!"
If you're riding Pirates of the Caribbean, you might unknowingly get a whiff of sea salt in the air. Or at Spaceship Earth, you'll smell barbeque as a diorama of Rome burns before your eyes. The Haunted Mansion smells musty and earthy, so you won't forget that there's a graveyard right outside the attraction. And Soarin' Over California pumps a faint citrus smell at you as you fly over simulated orange groves.
Just in case you're thinking that those odors are built into the rides, they're not. The Smellitzer uses a series of pumps and vents to launch the smells 200 feet at just the right second. And then an exhaust system sucks the odor out of the room before it interferes with your next sensory experience.
Finding Mickey
This also explains why no one ever seems to fart at Disney.
Oh, and the odor-pumper isn't just limited to immersing you in the rides, either. Walk down Main Street, USA, and you're going to smell freshly baked cookies, whether there are cookies in the oven or not, thanks to the Smellitzer. During the holidays, you might smell peppermint candies being made, or pumpkin spices near Halloween. On Father's Day, you should expect to smell bad cologne and disappointment.

A former Fort Campbell soldier has pleaded no contest to the Christmas Day 2010 shooting death of his girlfriend.
The Leaf Chronicle reports 29-year-old Timothy Andrew Putnam was sentenced to 15 years Tuesday for the death of 34-year-old Samantha Marie Miller.
Putnam had been scheduled to go on trial next Monday. He entered the no contest plea to second-degree murder.
When he was arrested, Putnam was identified as a military police officer assigned to the 561st Military Police Company at Fort Campbell. His family previously said he was dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and had recently returned from deployment.
Miller's obituary said she was a U.S. Army veteran. She had six children.

For years, PayPal had no rival in the online payments industry. Then, in 2007, Amazon launched its Amazon Payments, which not only gave PayPal a rival with real muscle, but was considered friendlier and more open to third party developers, thus why many apps utilized Amazon Payments instead of PayPal. And let's not forget about Google Checkout, which also competes in the space. However, Paypal is taking a swing back at the competition today, revealing PayPal X .............(contd)

Chargers raised the bar even higher in Ansonia
The Ansonia High football team accomplished much more than just impressively extending its state record for state championships by winning the 19th in program history Friday night.
The Chargers' 51-12 victory over Woodland in the Class S title game at Central Connecticut's Arute Field also kept alive the longest win streak in program history, established this senior class as one of the best ever at Ansonia and cemented Arkeel Newsome's legacy as the most accomplished running back in state history.
Newsome finished his senior season with 3,867 yards and 64 touchdowns to improve his state career records to 10,672 yards and 187 touchdowns. Led by his dominance, the Chargers became only the second state football program to string together three consecutive undefeated championship seasons.
They joined Cheshire (four straight undefeated seasons, 1992-95). With 42 consecutive wins, they're closing in on the Rams' state record of 49 wins in a row (1992-96).
"This is very special, three in a row, 42 straight wins," Newsome said. "It's just amazing, you know? The character of this senior class is great. They worked really hard. I just love my team. We progressed from day one and continued to get better and better every game. I just can't explain it. We worked pretty hard for this, and we got it."
The Chargers also got the distinction of becoming the first state high football school team to win 15 games
See ANSONIA, Page 10B
in a single season.
"Being only the second team to go undefeated three straight years was a big milestone," two-way lineman Antone Mack said. "Even bigger is that, I'm pretty sure, this will be the first and the last time that a team wins 15 games in Connecticut. I can say I was in the first class to go back-to-back 14 games in a row in a season and the first team to win 15 games. All this together, it's the best moment in my life so far."
Mack was one of six senior co-captains on the team, along with Newsome, fullback-linebacker Saiheed Sanders, linemen Matt Simon, Ryan Hovan and Corey Dzienkiewicz. The other six seniors include tight end-defensive back Thomas Majchrzak, receivers-defensive backs Arthur Kwaskiewicz and Jose Rodriguez, running backs-linebackers Jack Williams and Hugh Jackson, and lineman Chris Devine.
"They have been great," Brockett said. "They have done everything. It is not easy to play for Ansonia. They are under a lot of pressure, and we ask a lot out of our kids. Those 12 seniors who are left standing have given everything they can. It is a lot of blood, sweat and tears. They are in the weight room, running sprints, practicing hard, practicing physical. Hopefully, it shows on the field with the way they play."
The Chargers were dominant. They scored 40 points or more in every game but one in becoming the first team in state history to score more than 700 points in a season as they tallied 770. Their 113 touchdowns this season smashed their own state record of 102 set last year. And all that offense was enough to allow them to win their games by an average of 34.9 points, and that is with a 21-20 win over Seymour thrown into the mix.
"We turned the ball over six times and we don't get any turnovers," Brockett said. "You don't win high school football games that way. Our kids still found a way to fight. They believed they could win, kept playing and won."
Newsome said that a team can't accomplish all the Chargers have this year, or the past three seasons, without being well-rounded and possessing more than just talent.
"Everybody is a character on this team," Newsome said. "Everybody makes jokes and laughs at each other. We joke around, but we are also all hard workers with good work ethic. And there is definitely dedication. Everyone is dedicated to each other and this team right here."
While the identity of the team is Newsome and the powerful offense, Brockett pointed out how crucial it was defensively in the Friday's title game to get two interceptions from sophomore Tyler Bailey.
"It is a total team effort," Brockett said. "Look at what our secondary did shutting down a great quarterback (Woodland's Tanner Kingsley). We have sophomores out there making big plays. We have the best offensive line in the state of Connecticut and one of the best football players in America. We also have an unbelievable quarterback (Jai'Quan McKnight). You put all that together, and there is a lot of talent out there and kids that play the game the right way and play it hard."
This team did more than win the 19th state title. It set the bar in Ansonia for generations to come.
"This team can do anything," team statistician Bucky Glenn said. "Our offense is unstoppable. I have been here 72 years with Ansonia football from being a ball boy to a player to a statistician and everything you can think of, and this is, without a doubt, the best football team I have ever seen at Ansonia."

Many of our viewers have heard the name Philip Schardein, a 24-year-old Bowling Green man who's been in the news quite a bit over the last few months as he fought fiercely to overcome leukemia. After months in a Houston hospital, Schardein is finally back home in Bowling Green.
Family and friends say it was due in large part to community support and prayers that they have Philip back home.
Thousands of people from across the state attended bone marrow drives in Philip's behalf. Although none of those people matched Philip, as many as 25 people matched current needs for bone marrow across the nation.
In the end, Philip was finally able to accept bone marrow from his sister.
Philip, his mother, Lisa Leachman, and his father, Don Schardein, arrived at the Bowling Green Warren County Regional Airport around 4:15 Tuesday afternoon to lots of big smiles, open arms, and admiring fans.

East Bay Green Corridor Partnership
The East Bay Green Corridor Partnership (Green Corridor) consists of eight cities, two world class research institutions and three cutting edge regional educational systems. It was formed in December 2007 to facilitate joint regional efforts to establish the East Bay as a global center of the emerging green economy. The East Bay has long traditions of both entrepreneurship and environmental policy innovation. The region has also developed strong existing clusters of green businesses centered around large institutions engaged in cutting edge environmental research and green/clean-tech development. The thirteen Green Corridor partners recognize that markets in labor, land and venture capital are larger than any single jurisdiction, and that by acting together the partners can maximize the regional potential for policy development, innovation and entrepreneurship that will help lead the green economy.
Key goals of the Green Corridor include:
Under the guidance of Professor Karen Chapple, Associate Professor of City Planning at the University of California, Berkeley, the Corridor engaged graduate students to map the assets in the East Bay region that contribute to the development of the green economy. Their extensive findings are available at http://greencorridor.berkeley.edu and cover topics such as regional polices, best practices, company listings and asset maps.
Initiatives of the Green Corridor are managed by Carla Din, the Project Director. The East Bay Economic Development Alliance acts as the fiscal sponsor for this regional effort. If you have questions about the Green Corridor, please contact us at email@example.com.

To use an electric guitar with GarageBand, is a USB cable necessary?
An electric guitar produces an analogue audio signal which passes through an amplifier and out to speakers.
To connect the guitar to a computer you will have to link it with an analogue cable either direct from the guitar's output jack and into the computer's microphone socket, or into an amplifier then from the amplifier's line out socket into the computer's line in socket. DO NOT connect the line out into the microphone, or the speaker out into the computer in any way at all, or you may well damage your soundcard.
Be warned - connecting the guitar to the microphone socket will probably give quite ropey results. If you are hoping to create something of any reasonable quality you would be best off investing in a decent sound-input device (most of which are USB).
Personally I use one of these: http://www.ionaudioshop.co.uk/ion-u-record-mixmeister/ which I connect my small mixing desk to. They do alot of other similar devices too.
No as long as you have a Line in port on your computer you can connect your guitar directly to it. This wont give you a very nice sound but it works. It works even better if you have a little preamp in between to boost the signal.
On the computer you can use for example guitarrig or guitarfx to get cool sounds. This should be enough for an easy quick recording.(which I guess is what you are going to do since you are using garageband)
Of course a good audio interface,with firewire/USB will give much better results but it can be done without one as long as you have the line in port.
One of the best series of devices for instrumental inputs for the computer are the Emu line made by Creative. You would be fine with the cheapest models for beginning any sort of audio recordings using a guitar. A good starting point is the 0202 USB.

El33tonline Super Rugby Superbru Leaderboard Update: Lions and leadersWritten by: / / 1 Comment
Written by Marius Nell
It was a tough start to the Super Rugby season with the Lions causing the first upset and headaches for many players. After last weekend's matches, we currently have a strong pool of seventeen players in the El33tonline Superbru group and after the first round our leaderboard looks like this:
Last week was tame, but round two holds a full seven matches to predict. On Friday morning, the Crusaders face the Chiefs so remember to make your predictions by end of Thursday. The Cheetahs and Bulls both had a shaky start to their Super Rugby campaign, so their match on Friday evening will contain a lot of lost pride that both teams will want to regain.
On Saturday morning the Highlanders face the Blues, and the Brumbies play against the Reds, while in the evening the Sharks will want to keep their momentum while facing the Hurricanes. In addition, the Lions will host the Stormers, and the final game for the weekend will be on Sunday morning when the Waratahs and the Force meet for their first matches of the season.
With a lot of teams playing their first match of the season it will be a cracker of a weekend! It's not too late to join and the season is still young with only two games played, so the door is still open for any players wanting to join the El33tonline Superbru group.
It's fun, it's free and it's a game, so join El33tonline's SuperBru pool – because Every Day, We Play!
Good luck to all.

Sir We read with interest John Blundells article A business manifesto to make poverty history (26/27 February), where he refers to the Arts Council as another example of poor people being creamed to help rich people enjoy the opera or ballet or theatre.
Whilst it is true that we provide subsidies for opera, ballet and theatre, one look at the range of projects we fund, and have funded in past years, will demonstrate our commitment to supporting arts projects which promote art in the community, social inclusion, and which bring the arts to people who do not normally have access to them.
This includes funding for everything from reading groups in prisons to local brass bands, and we have worked in partnership with groups such as the Youth Justice Board to find ways of reaching as wide an audience as possible for the arts.
We neither ignore nor harm the poor. And we would be happy to show John around our Westminster building to prove to him that it is far from being a palace.
Peter Hewitt
Chief Executive
Arts Council
Sir John Blundells manifesto to make poverty history understands economic issues very well. However, he fails to appreciate the moral, psychological underpinnings of so-called welfare; imputing altruism to people who are as selfish as anyone else.
Many affluent people experience unearned guilt at the very fact poor people exist and always will. Such sentiments tacitly admit their money was either stolen or inherited not earned. And yet the latter is no real reason to feel guilt since one has no control over ones birth circumstances and so no reason to experience Original Sin concerning money.
This guilt conflicts with the idea that it benefits the affluent to have a large pool of manual workers to choose from the poor. They work for them yet lack the education to compete with them for traditionally middle-class, professional jobs. This makes it inevitable that the poor will always need to work for the middle-class; this keeps them poor since their employers will always try to maximise their own incomes by minimising pay-rates.
For the middle class to successfully educate the poor would mean (they think) their own middle-class offspring having to face greater competition for always-scarce professional jobs. No middle-class parents (eg teachers) are ever going to do this because they arent educated enough to understand that economics is not a zero-sum game; this explains the poor quality of schools for the poor. To conceal this fundamental fact, the middle-class invented welfare.
If it were their own money they were disbursing to the so-called disadvantaged, they would be far less likely to disburse it. This is the pseudo-generosity of a man who steals your money at gunpoint (taxation, effectively) and then gives it to the poor as an act of generosity on his part not yours.
Those with funds surplus to requirements assume welfare is cheaper than other ways of giving. Nevertheless, guilt is always expensive in the long run because welfare budgets never fall: if you pay a man for doing nothing, he will do nothing.
Mr Blundell is wrong to claim welfarists have the genuine welfare of the poor at heart albeit misguidedly. Welfarists only have the demons of their own neurotic guilt-complexes as well as an inability to succeed in life in-their-own-right, nipping at their well-heeled consciences.
Robert Bucknor
John Blundell is Director General of the Institute of Economic Affairs.

So the problem states that if $f(z)$ is entire, and satisfies the relation $f(z+i) = f(z)$ and $f(z+1) = f(z)$, show that $f(z)$ is constant. So I was thinking that since any point in $\mathbb{C}$ can be written as $\alpha * 1 + \beta * i $ we can say that $f(z + z_0) = f(z) $ in which case it is constant, but I'm having trouble breaking down the steps, and using the fact that f is entire, which makes me feel like I'm missing something. What should I review to figure this out?
I think you can just use Liouville's theorem. The thing is that $f$ is bounded on compact subsets of the complex plane, so in particular it is bounded in the unit square $S = \{ a + bi \in \mathbb{C} \mid a, b \in [0, 1] \}$.
So then you can use the two relations $f(z+1) = f(z)$ and $f(z+i) = f(z)$ to prove that the values of $f$ are determined by its values in the unit square because you can write $z = x + iy$ and then
$$f(z) = f(x + iy) = f(a + bi + (n + mi)) = f(a + bi)$$
where $0 \leq a, b \leq 1$ and $n, m \in \mathbb{Z}$. In this case $n = \lfloor x \rfloor$ and $m = \lfloor y \rfloor$. Then of course $f$ is bounded in the whole complex plane so Liouville's theorem applies, and $f$ has to be constant.
Here is a Hint: Liouville Theorem.

There are many internet forums out there and I am wondering which would be the most correct way to structure one's own forum. For example, many forums are stated as "Forums" (even more use the singular "Forum" form or "Board"), then coming up with "Categories", "Discussions" or "Topics" and finally "Posts" or "Comments".
I would like to know what you would prefer and if you would make some distinction between some forms of "Forums" when naming their structure.

I'm planning to buy a book to learn C Language. Many say K&R is a must-have book for C programmers so I chose it. I see that there are two editions. What are the differences between them?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
There may be a few cases where a first edition is preferred for some reason or other, but this is definitely not one of them.
If you want to learn C, the second edition is clearly preferred in this case. The first edition teaches a version of C that's been obsolete for decades. C has maintained enough backward compatibility that most of the code in the first edition will probably still work with a current compiler, but it's definitely not written the way you want to write C code any more.
The second edition is written to ANSI C, which the first predated. That alone should make the second book the one to buy.
Definitely the 2nd version. The first version doesn't cover ANSI C.
If memory serves me right, K&R 2nd Edition was published in 1988, to comply with the imminent release of ANSI-C (aka C89)
A lot has happened in the C world since then...
Not to mention the work of MISRA and CERT-C (etc) to produce safer subsets.
I have a copy of both editions, but seldom refer to either...

I am now getting to the point that I want to sprite the images on www.trailbehind.com.
Most of the images are loaded by JavaScript functions, and I have lots of little images such as the map icons.
Is there any software that supports this? I know that you can use Django-sprites if your images are in Django templates. And you can use GWT similarly, if you want to write some Java code.
What's the best way to go about this for a website that is Python/Django with a Javascript front-end? I never show any HTML unless the user has JavaScript turned off.

How can I ensure that users can't login to the system except with FTP?

For example on a Fedora or Red Hat system:
There are a couple of approaches to this, depending on your needs.
One is to set the shell to something not a shell, as described in another answer.
Another is to use iptables to set up a firewall that disallows all but FTP access. If you want to make the server publicly accessible at all, I recommend this option, possibly in combination with the first. You will need to enable connection tracking for it to work properly with FTP.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 3, 2002
Cup of Tea tea cup, tea pot, tea bags, and wax base: 20 x 24 inches 1995My mother and I often sit and have tea. During this time, we talk and share feelings. The cup of tea represents my mother's cup. Written on the tags attached to each tea bag are either events, feelings or statements I heard her voice throughout the process of dealing with breast cancer. The tea bags collect and store her thoughts. They create a daily journal containing her feelings and memories.
Why Not Me! color photographs, 1995 16 x 10 inchesThis February my mother, my very close friend, was diagnosed with breast cancer. This event changed the focus of my art. I was by her side through the entire process: from biopsy, to mastectomy, and through each chemotherapy treatment, I was a support system for her, as well as she was for me.
At each stage, I documented the transformation of my mother's physical body, as well as her feelings and emotions, through color photography and my own personal writing. Much of it may never be shared with anyone; it has been one way of facing cancer directly. Instead of running away from the pain, I dove into it, opening up everything for discussion and analysis as it occurred.
My intense focus on my mother during this time has made me aware of her incredible strength and determination, as well as my own. She and I, together, gave everyday objects new meaning and symbolism. These objects we will never view the same again.

The 9 Most Utterly Insane Products Released by Famous Brands
If you're going to stay on top, you've got to try new things -- just ask Nintendo, who used to make playing cards and sex hotels, or Lamborghini, who used to make tractors. But sticking your brand name on a bold new product comes with some risks, especially if your idea is utterly fucking insane. Like ...
#9. Zippo Lighter Fluid Perfume
OK, we don't know that Zippo brand perfume actually contained any butane, or even smelled like it, despite the fact that it came in a little lighter-shaped bottle. The fragrance is called Zippo the Woman, which has the benefit of sounding like a Zippo-brand perfume as well as a circus sideshow freak.
It's such a strange choice, because where most perfumes are just named for some abstract idea ("Yes, Chanel, I suppose this is what the number 5 would smell like"), here they're selling you a container that normally holds another kind of fluid, one that can kill you if you sniff too much of it. It's like making cologne that comes in a green jar labeled "pickle juice" -- the perfume might smell great, but most people will never find out.
Strangely, disposable lighter brand Bic also dipped their toe into the inappropriate-brand-perfume pool when they put out several different fragrances, designated by color. In fact, they released an astonishing 16 different fragrances in 1988 and, yes, put them in little lighter bottles, lest you get the crazy idea that the stuff smelled like ink pens or razors.
Glaser Design Study Center
The best disposable scents $0.99 can buy.
It was touted as a "Fine French perfume that's affordable," because it was $5 and it was sold in pocket-sized bottles. It folded domestically in 1991, but still lives on in Iran, where it is presumably being exported as some kind of punishment.
#8. Cheetos-Flavored Lip Balm
Flavored lip balm is nothing new -- we've all heard that Katy Perry song. Hell, if you're going to smear wax on your lips, it might as well taste like something, right? But there seems to be a fairly wide gulf between Cherry ChapStick and Cheetos-flavored lip balm.
That short-lived product was produced in 2005 and killed very shortly after by lip balm manufacturer Lotta Luv, which seems to specialize in making lip wax that tastes like food. But while lots of their "flavors" make perfect sense, like bubble gum ...
Lotta Luv
Really, all of this just enables those creepy friends who have no problem eating lip gloss.
... there turned out to not be a lot of demand for a lip balm that, according to a customer review, "smells like moldy cheese." Besides, if you want to kiss somebody with Cheetos powder smeared on their face, they're not exactly hard to find in this day and age.
#7. Holiday-Flavored Pringles
Pringles via USA Today
When the holidays approach, food companies make a killing by simply splashing some pumpkin pie flavoring or peppermint dust into the mix and waiting for consumers to come running (there are people who only go to Starbucks during peppermint mocha season). However, every year when Christmas rolled around, the Pringles family's children would sit solemnly beside the 18-foot-tall bay windows of their mansion and lament the Bugatti-only demolition derby they could have afforded if only they weren't cursed with such a holiday-neutral brand. How the hell can you dress up freaking potato chips for Christmas morning?
By not giving a shit, that's how. That's how we wound up with Pringles flavors like White Chocolate Peppermint, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Cinnamon & Sugar (which we admit is by far the least terrifying of the three).
They're lazily dusted with the holiday flavors of your childhood!
Of the White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles, one website aptly said, "It tastes like cocoa with a little peppermint in it, being sipped out of a mug made from a raw potato." The festive Pringles appeared around Christmas 2012. Will Santa bring them back this year? And if so, can he be stopped in time?
#6. Cap'n Crunch Ship Shake
Cereal mascot Cap'n Horatio Magellan Crunch has been locked in a 50-year war with the Soggies, so he knows a thing or two about what people want out of their cereal. Sadly, a mere three years after his creation, he had a crisis of faith when, in 1966, Quaker Oats decided what the world really wanted was Cap'n Crunch that didn't crunch at all. The result was Cap'n Crunch's Ship Shake, a pureed mix of breakfast delight.
Jason Liebig
"And it still cuts the roof of your mouth!"
Quaker Oats of course tried to market it as a healthy alternative to the old and lame variety (i.e., real food), going so far as to say that when mixed as directed, a cup of Ship Shake was as healthy as a bowl of oatmeal.
Quaker Oats
Besides, if you're throwing a party, do you invite the hard-drinking naval officer or the hyper-religious teetotaler in the funny clothes?
But with flavors such as butterscotch and chocolate, this was a pretty hard sell for parents who were actually expected to pony up for this stuff. The only possible upside is that it gave some young enthusiasts a preview of what all their meals might look like when the doctor is forced to wire their jaw shut as a last-ditch effort to make them lose some weight.
#5. Harley-Davidson Wine Coolers
Quick, what image comes to mind when you think about bikers? Well, if you can't think of anything except leather vests and Mad Max-style gangs, then maybe you should take a good long look at yourself. Harley-Davidson sure did. Back in 1984, they realized that beneath that leather vest (and probably a frankly ostentatious tattoo) beats the heart of a passionate human being.
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
"If you prick us, do we not stomp your teeth into the curb?"
Harley-Davidson thus realized that they needed to start selling goods that would appeal to the progressive biker lifestyle. And when it came time to create an alcoholic beverage for their customers, it would be insulting to go with some fiery mix of grain alcohol and used motor oil. No, what 1980s bikers wanted, they figured, was the dewy crisp refreshment of a wine cooler called Scooter Juice. That wouldn't get any self-respecting Hell's Angel beaten to death, right?
Not that the people at Harley-Davidson have grown out of touch, but in the years since, they've shown a willingness to put their logo on freaking anything:
ABC Neckties
There's no better way to stick it to The Man than wrapping a double Windsor around your neck with this bad boy.
The company pulled the wine coolers a mere three years into production, which is actually about 35 months longer than you'd expect.

Samsung NX300 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
The Samsung NX300 represents a fairly modest upgrade compared to its NX210 predecessor. Pocket-lint got our hands on the latest compact system camera at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, to have a quick test of what's new.
READ: Samsung NX210 review
In short, if you have a NX210 then the NX300 probably isn't going to jump out as that must-have upgrade. It incorporates a larger 3.3-inch AMOLED screen, hybrid autofocus sensor, faster shutter speed of up to 1/6000th of a second and a speedy 8.4fps burst mode - all of which are certainly nice to haves.
One of the NX300's main boasts is its compatibility with a 3D lens system which enables both stills and video capture. That makes this the only compact system camera able to support both 3D still and 3D movie capture. Cool, but 3D is as much hated as it is loved, so this didn't get our temperature gauge particularly escalated.
Central to the NX300 is an updated version of the NX210's 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor which, from what we're led to believe, incorporates sensor-level pixels dedicated to phase-detection autofocus. We were already impressed with the predecessor's quality and, despite not having the opportunity to take pictures away from the latest model, anticipate that the NX300 will produce shots that are very similar, if not the same.
The NX300's Wi-Fi is more successfully implemented than its predecessors was, thanks to a dedicated button on the camera body, rather than only a Wi-Fi mode on the mode dial.
If generic black's not your thing either than the NX300 is available in silver - as you can see from the pictures - or white. Looks pretty tasty to us.
