WESTLAKE, Carla Jo, 50, of Dover, was rewarded by God with a "can-do" body on Wednesday October 31, 2012 in the Community Hospice House at New Philadelphia following a 6-year battle with cancer.
Born February 12, 1962 in Steubenville, she was a daughter of Jean Sheets of Toronto, Ohio and the late Ron Sheets.
The disease may have taken her ability to get around and eat, but it never took away her desire to love others and it never took away her ability to smile. Throughout her life and illness Carla had an incredible capacity to love.

She was known for her homemade cookies and beautiful crocheted baby blankets and afghans she gave to family, friends, nurses and those who cared for her during her illness.
She used her illness as a way to bring others into the community of believers reminding her visitors in her last days not to mourn her death but to celebrate her life.
Carla retired from the Dover City Schools where she worked as a cook and as a special needs transportation driver.
Preceding her in death are her father, Ron Sheets; and mother-in-law, Elaine Westlake.
Carla is survived by her husband of 24 years, Paul; and her two sons, Zachary and Nathan, both serving with the U.S. Navy; her mother, Jean Sheets of Toronto; a brother, Ron (Kasey) Sheets of Toronto; father-in-law, Richard Westlake of Toronto; brother-in-law, Keith (Doreen) Westlake; niece, Brianna; and nephews, Brian, Steven and Jacob.
A friend to many, Carla will be missed. The Westlake family would like to thank Dr. Jim Schmotzer, the Morning Star Cancer Center, Aultman Hospital 6th Floor South staff and Community Hospice of Tuscarawas County for the tremendous care and support throughout her illness.
At Carla's request cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday November 3, 2012 at 5 p.m. in New Pointe Community Church at 3950 S.R. 39 NW Dover. Pastor Dwight Mason will officiate and private graveside services will be held at a later date.
The family will receive friends at the church from 3 p.m. until time of services at 5 p.m.
Smith-Varns Funeral Home, in Sugarcreek, is handling the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that contributions be made to Community Hospice of Tuscarawas County at 716 Commercial Ave. S.W. New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663.
For those unable to attend please visit the funeral home's web site to share a memory and sign the guest register.

What's with this SSD thing?
So, Amazon's Gold Box deal today is for 2.5" SSD's for less than $1.00 per GB. Our family is in desperate need to replace our laptops (all 5+ years old), but the minimum amount of space I would even consider is 480GB ($379). Is this a total waste of dough? Do the SSD's offer 3-5 times more speed as advertised? A decent laptop can be had for $600-700 with 1TB and 6GB memory (albeit with Win 7).
The question: Is it worth it to upgrade a 5 yr old computer with SSD at today's prices or wait for the Windows 8 PC's to come out and snag a couple of deals?
The last time someone asked about SSD being worth it was a year ago....times and prices have changed. Thanks for your feedback!!!!

Personally, I don't think it's worth it, unless you're doing high end graphic/video work or gaming. Save the money, and get a good standard drive.
@okham: I have to disagree. An SSD is the biggest improvement you can make for an older computer. If you cannot increase the CPU performance, then the hard drive is the next best thing.
So hold onto your old hard drive when you purchase an SSD. Then, whenever you get your new computer with Windows 8, you already have an SSD. If it comes with one, then you have two -- even better.
While SSDs do offer huge performance gains, bumping up the RAM is usually a much cheaper enhancement compared to the degree of improvement.
That said, it sounds like your laptops are old enough that in your case it's not worth it. Get a good deal on some relatively bare bones laptops, maybe with good video and integrated bluetooth, and then buying replacement RAM (and 7200 RPM drives or SSDs) for those.
However, when it comes to SSDs, you may really want to reconsider your storage capacity requirement. They're not something you want to keep archival-type stuff on, as they do degrade considerably over time. I would recommend a smaller SSD and an external drive you can use for backup and occasionally swapping data back and forth.
Oh, and I'd really recommend against being an early adopter on Windows 8. Usually it's painful to move to a new MS product before it gets to its first service pack.
On the question of Win 8...I have been playing with it on a partition on my laptop and it is NOT a good interface for a non-touch screen. I find myself continually going back to Win 7. If you want to try it yourself, go to Microsoft and download the preview (if you have the restore disks or partition you can easily revert). It is free and worth checking out if you plan to wait for Windows 8.
I can see it being a good touch interface, but not good for mouse/keyboard/monitor setup.
I wouldn't spend $379 dollars on a laptop upgrade, period. Laptops lose value at such a staggering rate they make new Chryslers look like solid investments. If you want more storage, buy a sizable external drive for backing up your stuff to. Few laptops make it past (or for that matter, to) the 5 year mark anyways, so I don't see buying new primary hard drives for them as being a good idea.
I would wager that if you looked up what your laptops are worth on the used market, none of the ones you have are worth the $379 you would spend on that SSD. I'm not saying they're junk, just that they depreciate that quickly.
If you've already max'd out the RAM in those laptops AND the hard drives are not 7200 RPM drives, then an SSD may be a good idea.
I wouldn't go for a huge SSD drive though. Get something about two or three times the size of your OS and main programs (not including your music, video and other media files). Also get an external case for your existing drive (these cases normally cost about $10 and I've purchased several for $6 including shipping). Use the SSD in the laptop and turn the (currently) internal HD into an external USB drive to hold most of the media content.
And Windows 8 probably isn't all that good an idea (an even-numbered Microsoft release, prior to its first service pack, not using a touch interface... just too many strikes, IMHO).
SSDs are hard drives. Any activity that involves reading from or writing to the hard drive is going to be impacted by the hard drive speed. SSDs have a huge performance gain over standard hard drives in the disk I/O.
A SSD will improve things like booting to Windows, opening applications, editing photos, listening to music, etc.
Keep in mind too that an SSD will help increase battery life of your device. SSDs don't have spindles that need to move to read/write data.
If storage space is a concern think about an external or network drive for things you dont NEED to keep on your computer.
Depending on the model laptop, you may have room for two hard drives. If that's the case, you can get an SSD as your primary where all the programs, OS and frequently accessed data live, then a second drive for storing data.
Assuming the computer isn't low-end, an SSD is the biggest improvement in experience you can buy these days. More RAM and such might make a small difference, but for normal and high performance computer use a SSD is like magic. So much of the lag time (time spent waiting for your computer to do something) is disk based these days and SSDs are just ludicrously fast at random reads compared to mechanical drives. Ars Technica had an excellent primer on them recently (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/inside-the-ssd-revolution-how-solid-state-disks-really-work/), it's a longer but very informative read.
With that said, putting a new SSD in a 5-year-old laptop is going to be a bit of a waste. Ideally you'd want a new laptop with an SSD as a main (OS) drive and use either a second internal mechanical drive or an external mechanical drive for your generic storage. You'll never want to go back when your OS boots in 10 seconds, trust me.
(Continued) I would also stick with Windows 7 for now. I've seen nothing in Win 8 that makes me even remotely want to swap when it officially releases, and instead actually a few things I don't like vs 7. If you want your laptop to look more like a smartphone by all means install win 8 previews, but for me I like my computers to act like a computer, not a smartphone.
An SSD is easily 3-5 times the speed of an HDD, and depending on usage more like 10 times.
When you say you're desperate to replace your computer what is your bottleneck? If you're being bottlenecked by disk i/o, then yes it's worth it. CPU or GPU won't be helped by an SSD.
It also depends on your price point for a replacement laptop. $400 to stave off a $1500 purchase for a year is well worth it. Not so much for a $500 laptop. Also keep in mind that even if you end up getting a new computer, you can keep the SSD over and continue enjoying it.
A few people mentioned getting an external drive for data. If you don't need your optical drive replacing the optical drive with an SSD is also an option (or get a USB DVD instead). You'll need an adapter and some computer know-how to replace it.
I'd have to agree with @pasux with bumping up RAM first.
My Macbook is roughly four years old now.. started out with 2GB of RAM which made having more than five tabs on Google Chrome lag the computer to hell and then I bumped it up to 8GB of RAM about four months ago (from amazon box) and it's good as new again... plus I think I benchmarked like having 30+ tabs (which I wouldn't need that much anyways) until my Macbook starting struggling a bit.
SSD is the new trend these days, it's faster and it doesn't require a spinning disc inside it, so that means it can be smaller. But the current downside of SSDs right now is that it's still expensive and it still doesn't hold enough space (for one unit) as much as a regular HD would.
@psaux: exactly
Get a hard drive at 7200rpm not 5400 like some are sold, itll make a difference, but unless your doing something where your laptop can get easily damaged, large drops, or you need amazing speed then you can do with a normal hard drive at 7200, more ram is really the better option. Also get something with windows 7, most of the bugs are gone.
You can wait till windows 8 comes out to snag a few deals on the computers it really depends on how desperate you are for new computers.
Not trying to confuse you any more but if you can get something with a 3rd gen intel i5, or i7, (id go for the i5) computer makers are just starting to put them in.
Dont spend more than $500-700 on a new laptop. My personal suggestion would be a HP DV6 with 8gb ram, 500-700gb harddrive, 3rd gen i5 and no vid card (thats why im suggesting the 3rd gen, the on-board graphics are really good in this gen).
You can decide if waiting for a few months is a good ideat to save a few $$$.
I'm going to have to agree with most folk.
You have a crappy old Powerbook with a 20gb 3600rpm hdd? Can't just use it for a frisbee?
Max the ram chips, then get no larger than the 128gb SSD. Need more room? Get an external.
Yes the SSDs are really fast, but if your hard drive isn't slowing you down an SSD won't speed you up.
The present SSDs also have a lower lifespan than HDDs- don't be in a hurry to spend all your money.
If your laptop is more than three years old, save for a new one. Unless you have a spouse and/or youngish kids to give your upgraded old ones to, don't spend a lot to upgrade them.
I just looked at today's Frys ad, and for $270 I can get a new laptop that's probably better than yours after you fix it.
I'm actually going there now, for the blank DVDs lossleader and the 32gb flash drives. "So f'n what!?!?" they say.
Well, I can format that 32gb into two virtual HDDs. Win7, Win8, and OSX can then use them separately for cache and temp files. That'll give me 8gb for "pagefile.sys", and 24gb for temp files, which are two big things my HDD won't have to do. You want to see Photoshop on turbo? This works. Won't do crap for Word, or Google, but big heavy Excel, Filemaker or Access files will fly.
Wow. This is EXACTLY why I participate in this community….intelligent, concise answers/opinions without judgment. I appreciate all of your feedback so far. Cheers.
@gidgaf: Regarding pagefile.sys - I have found that some classic unix wisdom goes a long ways on that matter as well. Any time I set up a windows box (which isn't that often any more) I immediately repartition the main HD and make a swap partition of ~8gb for that purpose. Direct windows to only swap there and things are a lot more manageable since the paging file isn't fragmenting the main HD (or partition) to holy hell. It also makes defragmentation easier since sometimes windows doesn't want to move the swap file around while trying to defrag the rest of the drive.
Not that there is anything inherently wrong with what you describe, I just find that this works really well for single-drive systems.
Anyone know if these have a noticeable reduction in power draw over HDD?
I ask since ideally a SSD draws less, meaning if my tablet recognizes it, I can use the drive for a massive amount of portable storage.
(already have the 32gb A500 w/ 64gb microSDHC card.....but movies and pictures take up a bunch of space)
@lparsons42: I think we agree, but ... in my view of the elephant:
In a single drive system, the HDD mechanicals is like a one handed poker player.
No matter how many platters, or how many heads, that one arm goes back and forth.
When you read, write, copy, cache or layer a file, it's still that same arm back and forth.
Using my spare yellow mobo USB connector (my other system) to hold a couple of drives, that arm doesn't move for them. Pagefile is a drive, done thru CPU and software. It's just one thing that HDD isn't doing, and bumping it doesn't interrupt anything else. And when I'm batch processing those 400 wedding photos thru Photoshop, using the other USB drive as a temp file repository means that the HDD doesn't have to read AND copy AND process AND write every 3 to 5 gb picture; it reads each into the flash drive, processes it from there and then writes it to disk.
Like I said, for most things I'd never even know these were there, but when I need them ... zoom happens.
I too like Linux for most things, but some things I need/ want/ am used to Windows for.
And I do IT. "User" is a four letter word for a reason. I need to know what they screwed up.
I'm getting to really like showing users PCLOS Full Monty, after they ask about installing Win8.
It's quick, easy, and they're up and running right away. And happy.
Yeah, you coulda had this years ago.

1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass - Get A Grip!Written by on February 1, 2011 Contributors: Robert McGaffin The Bench Seat Slidefest Comes To An End With Real Seats And Harnesses.
Techno geeks like babbling about poor weight distribution, wacky camber curves, and negative steering axis angles for proof that muscle cars were never designed for hard cornering. Tough guy talk like that might impress your online girlfriend, but come on boys, it's really not that complicated. Just look at the seats in these cars, for cryin' out loud. That's all the proof you need right there. Even factory bucket seats of the day offered up less lateral support than the captain's chairs in a modern minivan, and grandma's bench seats were even worse. And just in case drivers ever contemplated opening up the windows during a thunderstorm and converting their bench seats into an impromptu water park slide, the OEs made sure to cover a bunch of them up in mass expanses of slippery vinyl. With the suspension and tire technology infused into the typical Pro Touring machine, the problem gets exponentially worse, as we experienced firsthand with Project Olds.
We're still not sure how he did it-maybe he strapped himself down with a boatload of gaffer's tape-but Photo Editor Robert McGaffin somehow managed to prop himself upright during his '65 Cutlass' numerous autocross and road course excursions. Nonetheless, he admits that sliding around the cabin made staring in the face of high-speed tracks like Road America even more intimidating. With Project Olds now mopping up on the autocross, and even more outings on the horizon, the stock bench seats and lap belts had to go. In addition to their lack of lateral support, the bench seats had to be lifted up slightly in the front to clear the transmission tunnel, which was raised during the Tremec five-speed swap. This resulted in an increase in stress on the lower back, making long road trips very unpleasant. Moreover, the shifter came awfully close to touching the seat in Second gear. To fix these maladies, and prevent our man Bobby Mack from getting tossed like Lindsay Lohan the day after rehab, we bolted up a new set of Procar Elite seats and a five-point Crow racing harness.
Helping us out once again with the install was Randy Johnson of D&Z Customs. Johnson's made a living out of building and racing g-Machines, and we put his expertise to good use. Swapping out a bench seat for a set of buckets is rather straightforward, and only takes an afternoon of work. Since Project Olds doesn't have a rollbar, however, it requires coming up with a creative solution to mounting the shoulder harnesses. There are several ways to do this, but Randy came up with a clever and inconspicuous solution. So if your g-Machine is generating more g's than its seats can handle, here's quick look at what it takes to get buckled down.

Not only are factory lap belts inadequate for holding the driver in place during extreme lateral maneuvering, nearly 50 years of wear and tear have degraded their ability to perform properly. The belt buckle is too large to pass through the crack between the bottom cushion and backrest, so it was unbolted from the floorboard first, then removed with the seat assembly.Before bolting down a new seat, you have to figure out where to position it. For cars that see competition duty, it's imperative to sit in the car while wearing a helmet to ensure that there's adequate headroom. With the seat bracket mocked up onto the seat, the entire assembly was placed in various spots on the floorboard. Once Mack found a comfortable seating position, the four mounting hole locations in the seat brackets were marked onto the carpet.The antisubmarine not only prevents the driver from sinking into the floorboard, it also serves as an anchoring point against which the shoulder harnesses generate tension. It can be bolted to the floorboard, but we chose to attach it to the seat bracket instead. After measuring out the center of the front crossbar support, Randy Johnson drilled out a 7/16-inch hole.With the chalk marks serving as a guide, Johnson cut away just enough of the carpet to access the floorboard. The spots were then marked out with a transfer punch before drilling out four 7/16-inch holes for the seat brackets.After deburring the holes, the seat brackets were bolted to the floorboard and the crotch strap was then attached to the seat bracket. Since these are highly stressed attachment points, using high-strength Grade 8 bolts is a good idea.The lap belts use eyebolts to attach to the floorboard. It's easiest to install them before the seats are in place. GM put lots of time into figuring out the ideal mounting spots for the lap belts, so screwing the eyebolts into the stock boltholes works best.If headroom is limited, the seats can be bolted directly to the floorboard. Since this isn't an issue with roomy A-bodies, we were able to bolt Procar's slider assemblies to the bottom of the seats, which were provided with the brackets. This resulting fore-and-aft adjustability allows for further fine-tuning of the seating position.At 30 pounds, the Procar Elite seats are substantially lighter than the stock bench. The slider assembly on the bottom of the seat slips right over the floorboard-mounted bracket, and then bolts down to the bracket rails at all four corners.
With the lap belts and crotch strap in place, the last step was installing the shoulder harnesses. We opted for a V-type shoulder harness that uses a single attachment point for the left- and right-side shoulder straps. The angle from the driver's shoulders to the shoulder belt mounting location should not exceed 20 degrees. Angles greater than 20 degrees can cause excessive spinal compression. Mounting the straps at angles greater than 20 degrees to horizontal will put additional stress on the attachment point, and render the harness less effective at limiting driver movement. To achieve the proper angle in Project Olds, Johnson removed the rear seats and marked out an attachment point in between the rear driver-side lap belt mounts.Unlike the lap belt eyebolts, which screw into factory boltholes, the attachment point for the shoulder harnesses were drilled into the rear seat area. Attaching them securely with a nut requires using a large 3-inch washer to help spread the load placed on the eyebolt.As with the lap belts, the shoulder harness clips onto the eyebolt for easy installation. Should the rear seats need to be used, the harness can be quickly detached. Its positioning in the rear seat area makes it easy to reach between the bottom cushion and backrest.The Crow five-point harnesses features a cam-lock fastening system as opposed to a more primitive latch-and-link setup. Special thanks to RideTech for providing us with the harnesses. After hitting the autocross with the new seats and harnesses, Mack reports that they keep him cinched down far more effectively than the stock bench, which gives him the confidence to hammer on Project Olds even harder. And actually running your g-Machine hard-instead of merely talking trash about how it supposedly handles as well as a new Corvette-is what it's all about.

A few months back facebook took the unusual step of forcing most users to switch to the timeline view of their profile page.
I am interested to work out what the strategy was behind this move. On first observation the timeline seems a poor design for readability. However as a presentation method that encourages users to post more pictures/visuals a la Pinterest it makes more sense. Visual posts are shared more than plain text posts... could this have been the strategy behind the policy?
Is their any DATA that shows what behaviours this new layout has promoted? In other words hard data about how it has changed facebook use (not your subjective opinion about whether you like the change!).

The context:
$4 - 4 = 0$
Ok, the first number is assumed as a positive and the operation here is a subtraction, so the second number is a positive also.
So I can summ it in the same way by specifying the second number as a negative: $4 + (-4) = 0$
If I did the same but making the first number a negative, $-4 + 4$, why is it equal to $0$ and not $-8$?
Why do I have to specify that the second number is a negative also? $-4 + (-4) = -8$
The question:
How can I add a number to a negative number without specifying it to be negative?
(I mean, by the same logic of specifying a negative, why don't I need to specify this: $-4 + (+4) = 0$ instead of assuming the one without a specific direction is always a positive?)

John Lott: At the Brink - Will Obama Push Us Over the Edge?
About the author:
John R. Lott, Jr. is an economist who has held research and/or teaching positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. He has published more than 100 articles in academic journals. He also is the author of seven books; his newest is At the Brink: Will Obama Push Us Over the Edge? His past books have included three editions of More Guns, Less Crime and Freedomnomics.
Lott is a FoxNews.com contributor and a weekly columnist for it. Opinion pieces by Lott have appeared in such places as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, USA Today, and The Chicago Tribune. He has appeared on such television programs as the ABC and NBC National Evening News broadcasts, Fox News, PBS NewsHour, and the Today Show. Lott received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.
About the book:
Barack Obama has taken America to the brink of financial ruin. Will we be able to stop before we go over the edge? Author John Lott sounds the alarm as he documents the economic challenges we face with four more years of an Obama presidency and builds a case for fundamental change — the kind we need to save America.
What others are saying:
"John Lott offers readers an exceptionally clear, understandable, and devastating critique of President Obama's leading policy initiatives, from Obamacare to economic stimulus, gun control, business regulation, and tax policy. I particularly enjoyed Lott's rebuttal of Obama's economic stimulus efforts, which is the best and most comprehensive rebuttal to claims of effectiveness that currently exists anywhere. This book should be in the hands of every citizen who knows something is very wrong in public policy today but can't find the words or facts to turn concern into solid argument. The words and facts are here."
-William W. Beach, director, Center for Data Analysis, and Lazof Family Fellow, The Heritage Foundation
"John Lott lays out the false arguments used to justify the increased role of government, from health care to taxation and spending. He knows the issues inside and out, anticipates the counterarguments well, and effectively uses both economic theory and data to support his positions. The scariest thing is that voices like his are becoming way too scarce."
-Robert G. Hansen, Ph.D., senior associate dean, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College

A very simple question, I just totally forgot how it was called, and google is not helping.
There's a pair of functions $f:X\to Y$, $g:Y\to X$.
$fgf = f$, $gfg = g$, but $fg$ and $gf$ don't need to be identities (and usually are not in interesting cases).
A simple example would be $f(a,b,c)=(a,b)$, $g(a,b)=(a,b,0)$

Is it correct to use 'z' or 's' in the word "seriali z ed" when writing correct English? (I.e. not a variant of English like "American") Or should it be spelled like "seriali s ed" ?

To use an s in specialised is usually the British English spelling. On the other hand, using a z is the American English spelling. You can choose which one to use depending on what your audience is. If you are in Europe, it may make more sense to use the British English spelling.
However, there is no such thing as one single, correct English. There are many, many dialects of English, and even what is known as Standard English varies between countries. If an American sees specialised, they will understand it, just as most British people would understand specialized. Both are versions of Standard English.
As simchona says, there is no single correct English. Every major variety has its own pecularities, and on this particular question at least one major variety -- standard British English -- is itself divided.
In words containing the suffix derived from Greek -izo, the spelling -ize is required in American and Canadian English and not uncommon in British English: the British National Corpus runs 3:2 in favor of -ise, and the Oxford University Press uses -ize. The spelling -ise is much more strongly favored in Australia and New Zealand, but -ize is not unknown.
For further information see this Wikipedia article, this one, and this note by the late Larry Trask.
I don't know but Americans have a special attachment towards z, they frequently change spelling of words with s to z! Don't ask me why!!!
Both are Standard English as @sinchona said..
But this is a matter of your locale, it would depend on where you are residing. British use 's' in specialised while Americans use 'z' instead..

I often have very limited space when creating reports and dashboards for users. I usually use Arial, or Arial Narrow, but UI isn't my area of expertise, so I want to know, is there an optimal font for fitting the most readable text in the smallests space?
Here is an example. Keep in mind this is just an example, as there are many times that space is limited, such as when you need to squeeze a million columns into a report, etc.

Thanks, for sharing how things are going Primefalcon. I have been thinking of you and your wife throughout the day. I'm sure others have been too and are just as happy to hear from you.
Are you eliciting your support systems, to help you through this time? Too often, we men think we need to be the strong ones and tend to put off looking after ourselves. Though, just by your taking the initiative to share with us, shows that you have the inherent propensity to reach out to others for support. Keep it up. I don't mean just us, but with friends, family, and professional people, who are able and willing to support.
Give my best to your wife, when she is more able to talk.

Whitefish Bay football team advances with 28-3 rout of Brookfield Central
Last year when the Whitefish Bay football team advanced into the third round of the WIAA state playoffs for the first time in school history, they lingered long on the Brookfield East field celebrating the feat.
And when the Blue Dukes did it again on Saturday afternoon back at Lubar Stadium beating Brookfield Central, 28-3, with an impressive second half effort, they quickly broke their post-game huddle and celebrated with their home fans,
So, en masse, the players went over to the stands, and serenaded the remaining die-hards on the crisp late afternoon with an acappella rendition of Bay's alma mater.
And they weren't half bad.
"We knew we had something special going with this senior class heading into this year," said quarterback Grant Menard, whose 40-yard pass to fellow senior Ian Buchanan set up Jeremiah Holt's 10-yard run for score that broke open a 7-3 Blue Duke lead late in the third quarter.» Read Full Article
Homestead football team holds off Cedarburg, 21-18
The howl coming from the Homestead football team's sideline Friday night late in the fourth quarter of the Highlanders intense WIAA Division 2, Level 2 playoff battle with rival Cedarburg was simple:
"One more stop and we win this game!"
But that command was easy to say and much harder to execute.
And then in stepped Highlanders all-world defensive end Ryan Stendler, as with just over a minute to play and Homestead clinging to a 21-18 lead and the tenancious Bulldogs sitting with a 3rd and 5 from the 50-yard line, Stendler ripped through the right side and sacked Bulldogs quarterback Mike Mojica for a critical 10-yard loss.
The Bullodogs spent their final timeout and the subsequent desperation 4th and 15 was off target, though some on the Cedarburg bench could be heard shouting for an interference call that was never to come as the Highlanders hung on for a 21-18 victory.» Read Full Article

Zina Haughton's attorney sheds light on interactions with Brown Deer police
Brown Deer - The Brown Deer Police Department was involved with and gave more help to Zina Haughton than the public thinks, attorney Lisa Martin told Brown Deer police in an interview with them yesterday. Brown Deer police released the audio of the interview to media earlier today.
Listen to Lisa Martin's statement given to Brown Deer police.
Martin represented Zina Haughton in the domestic abuse hearing and divorce proceedings against her husband, Radcliffe Haughton, who killed Zina, two others, and injured four before taking his own life at the Azana Salon and Spa in Brookfield on Sunday.
Martin takes issue with what she is calling the public misperception that Radcliffe wasn't arrested for the Jan. 8, 2011, standoff between Radcliffe and Brown Deer police.
"I'm hearing over and over that Brown Deer never arrested Radcliffe Haughton for the incident of January 2011, and clearly (in circuit court records) it shows an in-court arrest and the bail bond being posted," Martin said. "He paid cash, and was issued a no-contact order. He was clearly arrested, and yet everybody thinks he wasn't arrested."» Read Full Article
Homestead student charged in bomb threat

Man arrested after bringing 'party pack' to meeting with parole officer
An 18-year-old man who toted a variety of drugs to a meeting with his parole officer was arrested on drug charges in Glendale.
According to the police report:
The man, whose residence was not listed, was arrested for possession of prescription medicine without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia after arriving to see his parole officer at the Wisconsin Department of Correction, Probation and Parole Facility, 4160 N. Port Washington Road, about 4 p.m. Oct 4.
The man arrived on a bicycle and was seen leaving his backpack outside. In that backpack, there were numerous prescription pills including hydrocodone and Vicodin.
Also found was a glass pipe, grinder, scale and another bag of various pills which he called a "party pack." He asked how long he would be in jail saying, "I really screwed up."
Neighbor recalls multiple disputes at suspected Brookfield spa shooter's household
Brown Deer resident Sandra Polk, neighbor to alleged Brookfield spa shooter Radcliffe F. Haughton, said she has seen a number of arguments and disputes across the street.
Polk, who lives in the 6500 block of Glenbrook Road, said Haughton, who killed three and injured four Sunday morning before taking his own life, argued with his wife, Zina, outside of their home on multiple occasions, and they sometimes ended up throwing objects around the front yard.
"We were definitely aware of some things that went on when they were outside, such as some verbal abuse," Polk said, "and some throwing, but not at each other. We never really saw anything really physical. No hitting or anything like that."
There were, Polk recalled, times when "things happened inside, after dark," necessitating police involvement. She said Haughton butted heads with Zina Haughton's 20-year-old daughter, Yasmeen Daniel, and once threw her clothes out across their front lawn.
"(Radcliffe) would get angry and kick her out," Polk said. "We think there was a little difference of opinion between him and her (Yasmeen)."» Read Full Article

Poker Etiquette for Texas Hold'em
Part of the Texas Hold'em For Dummies Cheat Sheet
The etiquette tips in the following list apply to Texas Hold'em and to any other poker game. Sure, you can have fun while you play poker, but you can have all the fun you want without being impolite to the other players or the dealer. Basic poker etiquette includes these tips:
Always play in turn.
Be aware of when it's your turn to post the blinds and do so promptly.
Any time there is a discrepancy at the table, talk to the dealer — not the other players — about it. If you're not able to get satisfaction from the dealer, ask for a floorperson. Talking with other players about the problem you perceive may generate ill will among people who have no authority in the situation in the first place.
Place your bets in front of you. Do not splash them into the pot.
Do not show your hand to other players at the table while a hand is in progress.
Tell the dealer when you intend to raise. In No-Limit, gather the amount that you're going to raise and either announce the total, or move it all forward with one motion. This prevents being called on a string raise.
Don't forget to tip your dealer. Dealers work for minimum wage and rely on tips for their livelihood.

Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The federal government's push for drastic reforms at chronically low achieving schools has led to takeovers by charter operators, overhauls of staff and curriculum, and even school shutdowns across the country.
It's also generated a growing backlash among the mostly low-income, minority communities where some see the reforms as not only disruptive in struggling neighborhoods, but also as civil rights violations since turnaround efforts primarily affect black and Latino students.
"Our concern is that these reforms have further destabilized our communities," said Jitu Brown, education organizer of Chicago's Kenwood-Oakwood Community Organization. "It's clear there's a different set of rules for African-American and Latino children than for their white counterparts."
The U.S. Department of Education's civil rights office has opened investigations into 33 complaints from parents and community members, representing 29 school districts ranging from big city systems such as Chicago, Detroit and Washington D.C. to smaller cities including Wichita and Ambler, Penn., said spokesman Daren Briscoe. Two additional complaints are under evaluation, and more cities, including Los Angeles, are preparing their filings.
Last week, Secretary Arne Duncan fielded complaints at a public forum in Washington. The forum was attended by some 250 people who boarded buses, vans and planes from around the country to demand a moratorium on school closings and present a reform model that calls for more community input, among other items.
The recurrent theme is that communities are fed up with substandard education, but want solutions that will not create upheaval at the schools, which are often seen as pillars of stability in neighborhoods where social fabric is fragile.
Instead of focusing on dramatically changing the structure of a school, officials should invest in improving teaching, learning, equipment, and community engagement, which happens more often at schools in white, affluent neighborhoods, Brown said.
"But the response of the school district is to throw a grenade into our schools," Brown said.
Reformers say civil rights complaints are misguided because school failure disproportionately impacts minorities in the first place. Turnarounds are efforts to improve that, said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education think tank.
However, he noted that turnarounds are often a "Band-Aid solution. Most of the turnarounds aren't going to succeed because the school continues to exist in a dysfunctional school system. Radical change at the district may be what's needed."
Federal officials said they are open to working with communities to lessen the impact of turnarounds.
"On the ground, these policies can have an impact we don't see," Briscoe said. "But there's no promise that we'll be able to satisfy all people."
Overhauling the nation's 5,000 lowest-performing schools is a cornerstone of the Obama administration's education policy. To do that, the federal government revamped the existing School Improvement Grant program, boosting it from a $125 million annual initiative in 2007 to $535 million for the current school year.
Under the renewed program, which launched in 2010 with a onetime $3.5 billion infusion, districts receive grants to institute one of four school jumpstart models. They can turn the school over to a charter or other operator, replace at least half of the staff and principal, transform the school with a new principal and learning strategy, or simply close the school. Improvement schools can receive up to $2 million annually for three years.

I don't have an oven; is there any way to simulate what an oven does with any other tools available at my home? In particular I would like to be able to bake cakes.
Microwave + Coffee Cup = Awesome
A few years ago I was looking for a project for some cub scouts when I came across this recipe to make chocolate cake in a microwave. It's delicious and easy. Best of all you can make it in the office.
Check out this link: http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Make_Cake_in_a_Mug
Rice cookers can be used to bake cakes. I've cooked them using a store-bought mix and my Panasonic DE 102 fuzzy logic unit. It actually has a 'cake' setting. The cake came out fine; tasted like a regular oven prepped cake. Similar cookers will likely work as well, but the way to really find out if a particular cooker will do the job is to give it a try.
Wow! Wayfaring that is a great answer. You inspired me to look up a cake recipe using a pressure cooker. I lose power all the time and will keep that in the back of my mind.
Anyway, if a burner is what you have then make your own oven. I learned from camping that all you need is heat and a plain cast iron Dutch oven (without feet for the stove) and a heavy lid. Ok, I wasn't me, it was my friend who is a chef, but I was really impressed. You could try garage sails, antique type stores and camping stores. Make sure you put a rack on the bottom, preheat and put your pan in. Could be a little tricky getting out, but they have tools for that too. The reason for plain cast iron, I feel it is the only material you can use without water that is safe, will not damage the pot, or any coatings and will not throw off toxic fumes. As a matter of fact, I just now talked myself into getting one for the powerless days. Last time it was 4 days due to the October storm.
Cake is a broad term and "a cake" is going to mean different things to different people.
The fluffy, chemically or egg risen, low protein-flour, dessert that "cake" means in the US is going to require even, dry heat that an oven provides.
You can cook it in a pressure cooker! My mum used to make it that way i remember. Just put some sand into the cooker first and place your cake tin above it. Close the lid and cook on a medium flame. The texture might be slightly different but it's one way to make a cake.
It's definitely possible to bake cakes using a BBQ, although it may require some changes in technique from cooking meat. This recipe for Chocolate Souffles for example, uses a kettle BBQ (which uses briquettes (as compared to a gas burner BBQ which I'm sure could also be used with some modifications to the technique)) using indirect heat.
How to modify your use of the kettle BBQ to get indirect heat is linked in the recipe.
There are also many slow-cooker recipes for cakes -- an online search should pull up dozens, and I've done so several times. I've also used a rice cooker, as a previous poster suggested.
look up solar cooking, there should be recipies and instructions altrenatively if you can use a fire pit of some sort (or charcol barbique) look up cast-iron pot recipies
This post describes how my grandmother would make cakes in an electric frypan.
Throw it on the BBQ! (Experimentation required).
Here is one blogger's successful (and some not-so-successful) attempts at baking stuff on a bbq: http://pattycake.ca/node/188
Here is another:
Looks like fun :).
If you have space for a microwave, you can bake full-sized cakes (rather than an individual serving of cake in a coffee mug) in a convection microwave. The "convection" part provides more even heating so you can do things like make cakes or roast meat or vegetables. Just make sure you read the instruction manual for the microwave thoroughly so you know what kind of equipment is safe to use in it.
Many breadmakers also have a "cake" program.
In the 1960s/early 70s, there used to be something called a Wonder Pot in Israel which baked cakes. This was a circular contraption made of metal with a heating element; one poured the cake mix into the pot, closed it and turned it on (ie started heating). That's how I remember it although the linked Wikipedia article suggests that the pot was heated on a stove and did not have an integral heating element.
You can bake in a pizza oven or brick oven or double boiler without water, but when you use pots with closed bottoms you'll end up with smoke and blacken the inside of your large pot.
If you can find a large pot and make a hole at the bottom so that flames can pass through, that will be better. Use a rack at least 5 inches above the open fire. That's where you'll place your baking tray. Better to place few stones or bricks inside so that you can retain the heat to be able to reach at least 400 degrees. You can use any enclosure, just make sure to have bricks or stones to retain the heat and reach a high enough temperature. If you just use the flame, the metal around it will still reach the temperature but it will go down quickly when you open it; all the heat trapped inside will just dissipate. This DIY oven can help you.

Incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat representing Ohio, is facing a strong challenge this year from Republican challenger Josh Mandel.
The race has turned into one of the most contentious in the nation.
Mandel, 34, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served two tours in Iraq. He is a resident of Lyndhurst, Ohio, and is a former member of Lyndhurst City Council.
Article Photos
He was elected to his first term as Ohio treasurer in 2010, and previously represented the 17th District in the Ohio House.
Mandel is a graduate of The Ohio State University, and holds a law degree from Case Western Reserve University
He said high unemployment is the biggest problem facing the state.
"My jobs plan would make Ohio a world leader in manufacturing and energy development," he said. "Expanded energy development will mean jobs across Ohio. It will mean more tax revenue for our schools, roads, and to pay down the debt. It will lower gas prices. And it will lead to energy independence. And Ohio energy development will mean Ohio manufacturing jobs. Energy development requires manufacturing for tubes, pipes, and fittings. The average manufacturing worker makes $20,000 more than the average American.
"My jobs plan would create a fairer, flatter tax code ending loopholes for giant corporations. We must put an end to using Middle Class tax dollars to bail out Wall Street. We have a $16 trillion debt crisis - more than a trillion of it borrowed from China - that we need to get under control. As state treasurer I conducted a top-to-bottom review that cut over $2 million in state spending. Washington can do the same. My plan includes a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution."
He said the country is at a serious crossroads, and many are concerned that America may not have another six years to wait before getting it back on track.
"Ohioans from all walks of life and political affiliations tell me daily of their concerns about how the out-of-control federal spending, massive national debt and federal government's antagonism to American businesses is putting Ohio families and job-creators at a competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace.
Stemming from this deep concern about the direction of our country, a number of Ohioans from across the political spectrum - Republicans, Democrats and Independents - asked me to run for Senate.
"As state treasurer, I have focused my time and energy on making our office the most efficient, fiscally responsible, well-run treasurer's office in the nation. The successes achieved in the treasurer's office combined with my strong record as a state legislator and U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served two tours in Iraq, have prepared me to serve Ohioans in the United States Senate."
Brown also served two terms as Ohio Secretary of State and three terms in the Ohio House.
Brown received a bachelor's degree in Russian studies from Yale University in 1974. He is married to syndicated columnist Connie Schultz.
Brown said a return of manufacturing jobs is necessary for Ohio.
"In the last decade we have seen too many manufacturing jobs moving overseas, hurting Ohio's middle class. While we have begun to reverse this trend, in large part due to the auto rescue that I fought for, there is still work to be done," he said. "That's why I fought so hard for my bipartisan legislation that punishes China when they cheat with their currency manipulation. My bill was the largest jobs bill passed in 2011 in the U.S. Senate and should be taken up by the House as soon as possible."
Brown said every day he wakes up "thinking about what I can do to help grow Ohio's middle class."
"My bipartisan legislation to crack down on Chinese currency manipulation was the largest jobs bill to pass the Senate last year, and it wouldn't cost the American taxpayer a single dime. We must also continue to grow manufacturing in Ohio so that we don't see more good-paying jobs shipped overseas. "
He believes the coming years do look brighter for Ohio and America.
"While there is still much work to be done, if we continue to support Ohio manufacturers and Ohio's middle class, the future is promising," Brown said. "The auto industry, which was on the verge of total collapse, is back. Auto plants and auto suppliers all over Ohio are back at work. Ohio's unemployment rate was at more than 10 percent several years ago, but today is under 7.5 percent. And in the last two years, Ohio has added more than 80,000 jobs.
"That unemployment rate is still too high and we still have work to do, but we are moving in the right direction."

Jerry McBride/Durango Herald
Now all that�s left is the waiting.
The Durango High School baseball team capped its regular season with a resounding 11-1, five-inning victory over rival Montezuma-Cortez on Thursday, and now the Demons will wait until Wednesday�s seeding meeting to find out if they�ll host a Class 4A regional for the second consecutive season.
The Demons also are waiting to find out tiebreaker scenarios to see who wins the Southwestern League title. They�ll finish at least tied for first, and wins by Grand Junction and Montrose created a three-way tie which DHS head coach Rob Coddington said he thinks Durango will win but couldn�t confirm with 100-percent certainty. A decision likely won�t be reached until today.
Coddington said he thinks his team has done enough to play next weekend at home. And, unlike last year�s early exit, he�s hoping for better results.
�The only thing we can do right now is look forward to the playoffs and have a better showing this year and make it through the first weekend and make it to the final eight,� Coddington said.
�I think it would be pretty fair if we were given the host.�
Durango (12-7, 7-3 Southwestern League) went down 1-0 in the top of the first ining when Tallon Ralstin�s hopper squeaked its way through the infield, scoring Gerardo Martinez. That was all the Panthers (7-12, 0-10 SWL) would muster off of DHS starter Joe Brennan (6-2), who threw five innings and allowed just four hits while striking out six.
�Joe likes to pitch. A lot of people would be, in a situation like this, wanting to take a rest and rest their arm,� Coddington said. �But Joe Brennan�s always been the kind of guy who wants the ball, and, you know, we�re excited to get him in a playoff game this year and watch him compete for us.�
The Demons wouldn�t trail long. With Connor Dugan aboard after a double, senior Marcus Sansoni drilled the first pitch he saw on Senior Day over the fence in left-center for a two-run homer. Sansoni said he was sitting on a fastball and got exactly what he was looking for � both a home run and a chance to equal big brother and assistant coach Logan Sansoni.
�My brother hit a home run his last at-bat (at home), so I was trying to do the same thing to complete the trilogy,� said Sansoni, son of Melissa and Ron Sansoni and brother of Erika Sansoni, who walked off the high school volleyball court with a state championship her senior year (1997).
DHS added two more in the second on Clay Haidaris� RBI single and Easton Garcia�s sacrifice fly. The floodgates finally came open in the third when consecutive singles by Mark Kobrin and Sansoni led to Danny Rowley�s RBI single and George Mayberry�s two-RBI double. Mayberry scored on a wild pitch to cap a four-run frame.
Kobrin�s two-run double and Rowley�s RBI single drove in Durango�s final three runs in a game Rowley said was important for building momentum toward the postseason, wherever the destination.
�You get that momentum going, hopefully carry it into next weekend. ... Hopefully it works out,� said Rowley, son of Darren and Kari Rowley.
Sansoni, who entered the day trailing Fruita Monument�s Evan McDermott by one for the league RBI lead, was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Rowley was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Dugan doubled twice.
The tradition of one final lap around the bases was celebrated by nine seniors on Senior Day: Brennan, Garcia, Haidaris, Joe Keresey, Kobrin, Mayberry, Rowley, Sansoni and Christian Vigil. One more milestone on a journey that�s not quite over yet.

Something that I thought I would never get to tell you is the best news that possibly can come from the Southeastern Conference.
As someone who would have given my eye teeth (and more) to see my children to be able to attend Vanderbilt University, I have always wondered why the Nashville school has been unable to attract top football prospects.
The late Jack Green was a Shelbyville High star who captained one of those great West Point teams before being hired as Vanderbilt's coach. I asked Jack and several other Vandy coaches why they couldn't find enough top prospects (and their parents) who would appreciate how valuable a Vanderbilt education would be.
"It actually hurts our recruiting," said Green. Several other Vandy head coaches have told me the same thing.
I am happy to tell you that times are changing. New coach James Franklin led the Commodores to a winning season and a bowl last fall. He has been able to sign consecutive top-30 classes.
The Dores return nine offensive starters, including quarterback Jordan Rodgers, and eight on defense.
Media Stampede!
Chances are that you have never been in a cattle stampede – unless you are a football coach, writer or broadcaster in the Southeastern Conference.
That means that you would have been in suburban Birmingham, Ala., to attend the annual preseason football SEC Media Days.
Once upon a time, writers would just drop in on coaches while they were trying to conduct preseason practices. The coaches got tired of that, so the Skywriters were born. Most of SEC writers who covered football would charter a plane and everyone would descend on the coaches, who didn't like that arrangement either.
So the mighty SEC changed the entire preseason madness. Two or three days would be set aside and all of the head coaches would be assigned a day and time to be in Birmingham. The coaches didn't have to say the same thing 12 times, but could tell fibs to all the media at one time.
The Bear and Shug
Across from the host hotel and SEC headquarters was the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Out front was a monument to Alabama's Bear Bryant and Auburn's Shug Jordan, with a football player on a knee between the coaches. I asked one of my Alabama friends if the player was neutral. He said, "You'd better believe it!"
In recent years SEC Days have become so bloated that they were changed to a more spacious quarters in nearby Hoover, Ala.
It may have to be moved to an even bigger site. Last week there were 1,115 credentials issued to the media!
As the media and coaches walk toward the meeting site, they have to go past a Tower of Babel of radio and TV broadcasters. Anyone with a pulse can find someone who wants to interview him.
Not the biggest
As you know, the 14-team SEC is bigger this year with the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri. Not bigger than ever, if you can believe this: When the conference was formed in 1932 Georgia Tech, Tulane and University of the South (Sewanee) were among 15 members.
Changing SEC times
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive informed the SEC gathering that the conference is no longer behind in integration. When he became commissioner 20 years ago there were no, as in zero, minority head football coaches.
He said that today there are three minority head football coaches, five minority head coaches in men's basketball and five in women's basketball.
New C-J Columnist
I cant tell you how many times I have been asked: "Do you know Tim Sullivan (the new Courier-Journal sports columnist)? And is he any good?"
No. 1: I don't know him that well. No. 2: I don't know.
But this is what I do know: When Dave Kindred says good things about him, you can take it to the bank.
Said Sullivan: "The opportunity to work at a place with the tradition and journalism standards of The Courier-Journal is remarkably appealing."
Uh, Tim: We have to talk.

In section 1.1 under the subtitle system of classical particles with potential, the authors claim that "for a system of classical particles with rigid constraints, the configuration space is a Riemannian manifold X with Riemannian structure given by twice the kinetic energy."
I don't quite how the configuration space can be given by a Riemannian manifold, as it is more naturally viewed as a symplectic manifold and there appears to be no natural Riemannian structure on a symplectic manifold. Also the relation between the Riemannian structure and the kinetic energy also eludes me. The best interpretation I can think of is to impose a Riemannian structure on the cotangent bundle via Legendre transform, or the specification of a Lagrangian function. But this is not explcitly given.

From "The Historical Haggada," by R' Nachman Cohen (p. 14):
He also quotes "two of many" answers "on the level of derush. I'll leave it to others two write up their favorites from that category.
There are many explanations, meanings and innuendos. Here are a few:
Avraham served the Angles-disguised-as-men three loaves when they arrived at his home. That was on Pesach.
We compare the Matzah to "poor man's bread" an a poor man always puts some away for later, hence the "break and hide" routine of the middle matzah. Plus, hiding a piece of Matzah alludes to the Torah's instruction "You shall guard the Matzos".
Three matzas represent the Patriarchs, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaaakov. Avraham was the man of Chesed (kindness and benevolence), Yitzchak of Gevurah (stern discipline) and Yaakov of Tiferet (balance and Torah study). Yitzchak's harshness needs to be broken to allow people leeway in their approach to G-d.

The answer marked correct is a pretty confusing thesis, which has umpteen votes.
Somehow a question about views has become a rather long discussion about indexed views (which is a feature most people do not know about or use).

By Mari Olson
University Relations/DWU
Juvenile sexting isn't entirely new to the scene of teens and technology, but prosecuting its offenders is.
Enter the world of technology, where a naughty photo or explicit video is just a cell phone click away. "Sexting" is the term coined to describe sexualized texting – especially sending nude or partially nude photos or videos via cellular phones. When adults 'sext,' it generally isn't illegal. But if an adult exchanges a photo of a sexualized child – that's child pornography, which meets a slew of well-defined punishments. Now the problem is that minors are sending each other these images and videos of themselves. This has led to states prosecuting minors for such activities under traditional child pornography laws, since the images still fit that definition.
But such a result does not make sense, says Jesse Weins, assistant professor of criminal justice at Dakota Wesleyan University. The problem is there are no alternative ways under the law of dealing with the issue.
So Weins and Todd Hiestand, assistant professor of criminal justice at MidAmerica Nazarene University, are trying to fill this gap with a law journal article, "Sexting, Statutes, and Saved by the Bell: Introducing a Lesser Juvenile Charge with an 'Aggravating Factors' Framework." The article will soon appear in the Tennessee Law Review, the flagship journal at the University of Tennessee – Knoxville College of Law, a top-tier ranked law school.
Weins and Hiestand, along with a University of Florida professor published contemporaneously with them, are the first to address this topic in a law journal in the nation.
"We argue that a legal response is necessary and appropriate for sexting, but that it should take the form of a lesser juvenile charge, rather than the use of traditional child pornography statutes," he added. "We also critique recent state legislation on the topic and provide a model statute for sexting."
To get the point across, they use characters from the early '90s teen sitcom "Saved by the Bell" to act out fabricated scenarios that explore the various results of sexting and the various punishments under the law – and then Weins and Hiestand give their recommendation in the form of a new model statute.
A number of states have already begun changing their laws to try to make room for sexting, Weins pointed out, but their responses have not been ideal. Two have created exceptions in their traditional child pornography offense for certain sexting juveniles. But these turn out to be irrational or ambiguous in their application, leaving poor results or room for inconsistency. Two other states have added a new sexting charge in addition to their current child pornography offenses.
"While the latter method gives prosecutors the discretion to choose a new sexting charge rather than traditional child pornography, a prosecutor may also simply charge juveniles with both types of offenses," Weins said. "Therefore, this method fails to address what the sexting legislation was intended to deal with in the first place – the overzealous prosecution of sexting minors under harsh child pornography offenses."
Weins' research is not to bring down a hammer on every child engaged in sexting, or propose they all be sent home for milk and cookies. The research clearly shows that the current system just does not work – and they propose a statute that they believe will.
As usual, prosecutors will still make judgment calls on a case-by-case basis as to whether or not to proceed with any charges. Their statute just gives prosecutors and the defendants consistent guidelines for different types of sexting situations. Weins pointed out that more severe behavior deserves more severe consequences while a bad judgment call might be treated more delicately.
Weins, a DWU alumnus, met Hiestand while practicing law in Kansas City. Hiestand suggested the article topic and the two spent the summer researching and writing.
"He thought it was a timely issue in need of discussion, and the more I looked into it the more I agreed," Weins said. "We were very pleased that some top-tier ranking law schools, like the University of Tennessee's, were interested in publishing the article. We hope that the many states' legislators will consider our model statute as they consider how best to address the issue."

Works for me. Free store pickup. Mine is about a 5 minute drive from work :)
Should have been at not and in the title, but I'm sure y'all are used to that from me by now
If you don't have any use for these, buy a few and donate them to the women's shelter or someplace that will distribute them to kids. Everyone loves a soft blanket, and I have too many...
These dropped to 2.69 in cart for me, all available in my local store. 17.27 for 6 picked up in store.
I just bought some to take to the local rescue mission! Have plenty of blankets at home and I know they can really use them - especially this time of year!!
@superllama7: Thank you. Wonderful idea. I went ahead and ordered all nine available patterns and will donate them to our local Salvation Army Shelter here in town. Price dropped to $2.69 in cart and the Kmart is two miles from my home. Easy purchase. Easy donation. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Got a bunch of these, our county's animal shelter is always looking for blankets so that cats and dogs don't have to lie on bare cement or metal in the cages.
Great donation idea. In for ten.
Just ordered again (ordered the last time this was offered). This makes a great donation to the animal shelter!
these were about a dollar cheaper not long ago, they are SUPER thin for blankets, if you're familiar with thin fleece you won't be surprised but they are priced right. Great for stocking stuffers or inexpensive gifts for people who could use help.
If you have an old blanket or comforter that isn't as thin as a t-shirt though, it would probably do better to give them that, maybe add this for aesthetic value and a warm underlayer.
Great find and perfect for donations. I'll be donating the throws to the animal shelter as well.
Dang, last time I ever call out my own spelling mistakes again lol
@dpn0121: Upvoted all three of your posts,don't be so hard on yourself.
Come on people give this person an upvote,they are free you know !!
If anyone wants to send these to my deployed unit, let me know. Winter is coming up in Afghanistan...
@trinifawk: Do you think they're good enough? If you need them please tell us how to donate better ones for you guys.
Out of stock.
FABULOUS! Thank you soooo much for posting this. I ordered 16 from my local Kmart. I am on the board with the local chapter of Volunteers of America who work with homeless in our area and I'm going to donate some for that, the rest to our local Salvation Army residence program. Thanks for posting!!
In stock for local pickup at mine, and they went into the cart at $2.99; down to $2.69 with code.
Bought one of each color for pick up at my local Kmart. A coworker spends every Saturday night helping the homeless... Warm meals, clothing, blankets, in the summer, cold bottled water, sunscreen. Not even 25 years old and this is how she spends her Saturday nights. Absolutely amazing and something to be very proud of. Will be taking them to her at work tomorrow and she will be so happy! Thank you for posting. ($2.69 each for me, and used some of my shop your way rewards points and got all 9 for less than $20)

STEUBENVILLE - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is joining attorneys for two Steubenville High School student-athletes who have been charged with rape and the attorney of the 16-year-old victim in calling for the coming trial to be closed to the public.
Attorney Robert Fitzsimmons, who represents the victim, filed a motion Tuesday in Jefferson County Juvenile Court asking that he and the victim's parents be allowed to be present at the trial for the two juveniles but wants the public and media to be barred.
Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville have been charged with rape in connection with an incident that allegedly happened Aug. 11-12. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for allegedly having a picture of the victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone. Attorneys for both defendants have denied the charges in court.
Fitzsimmons will join attorney Walter Madison, who represents Richmond, in a hearing at 1 p.m. Friday in the Jefferson County Justice Center concerning motions filed in the case, including the closure of proceedings. Attorneys representing news organizations are expected to argue that the trial should be open to the media.
Madison also has requested the trial be held elsewhere and that the trial, which is scheduled to start Feb. 13, be continued. Attorney Brian Duncan, who represents Mays, also has filed a motion for continuance.
Visiting Judge Tom Lipps earlier this week overruled a motion by Madison requesting that Mays and Richmond have separate trials.
Lipps will make the determination of guilt or innocence after the trial and there will be no jury.
Fitzsimmons in his motion to close further proceedings, said the hearings will involve "highly sensitive and personal matters" for his 16-year-old client, whom he refers to only as Jane Doe in the motion.
He claims the media and the public will hear inadmissible evidence during the hearings.
"Jane Doe has, to the extent possible, kept her anonymity throughout these proceedings and rightly so as a 16-year-old victim. Closure will help preserve that anonymity and more importantly keep inadmissible evidence from being published by the public in whatever fashion they elect," he said in his motion.
"Jane Doe acknowledges the press' right, guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, to cover newsworthy events. However, this right is not boundless. This court is already aware of the massive media and public attention generated by these cases and closure is the only alternative that can protect Jane Doe from improper use of inadmissible evidence that is either proffered, tendered or argued in open court," Fitzsimmons said.
Fitzsimmons said his 16-year -old client is not requesting to be present throughout the proceedings, only her parents.
DeWine said Wednesday he's met with the girl and she's "doing OK."
"We're dealing with a 16-year-old victim," DeWine said. "It's difficult enough for her to testify without testifying in front of the whole world."
DeWine said the girl will testify whether the trial is closed or not. "She's doing OK," he said, when asked about his meeting with her.
"I just think it's the right thing to do under all the circumstances for it to be closed for her," DeWine said.
Madison, in his motion to close the hearings and trial to the public and media, said that many people who have posted items on social media believe his client and co-defendant, other members of the high school football team and certain members of the public are guilty of the alleged crime.
He said the hacktavist group Anonymous has threatened to release sensitive, personal information about those individuals it believes are helping "cover up" this alleged crime.
"It has posted YouTube videos stating that unless those involved in the alleged crime and those who it believes are protecting the juveniles in this case apologize, certain actions will be taken against them," Madison said.
"In addition, it has released statements that if it believes an individual does help the juveniles in this case, it will release their private information to the world. Anonymous has staged protests in Steubenville, raising tensions and emotions of the local community," Madison said in his motion.
Anonymous held rallies on the steps of the Jefferson County Courthouse on Dec. 29 and Jan. 5. A Stand Up for Steubenville rally was held Jan. 12 at Jim Wood Park.
Madison claims the retaliation threats have created an atmosphere of intimidation, and witnesses who could be beneficial to Richmond's defense are unwilling to come forward with information.
"If material witnesses are reluctant to testify, this will jeopardize Ma'Lik Richmond's constitutional right to present a defense. This is a reasonable and substantial basis to believe that public access would endanger the fairness of the adjudication," Madison said.
"While this is a very serious offense being alleged, the harm of Ma'Lik Richmond not receiving a fair trial outweighs any right the media and public have in viewing this trial," he said.
Madison said, due to the threat made by Anonymous, and the polarizing of the community into divergent groups, there is no alternative to having the proceedings closed to the public.
"Since Anonymous is threatening those it views as helping Ma'Lik Richmond, any public proceedings would allow them to retaliate against any witness called by Ma'Lik Richmond."
DeWine said he's not concerned about social media or Internet influence because the trial is being held before a judge.
"He's going to do what's right," DeWine said Wednesday.

Answered: Displaying results in one tab panel as output of operation in another tab panel
I have two tab panels. In 1st tab, I will send an ajax request to the server. Upon success, the result should be displayed in 2nd tab panel. However initially both the panels are rendered before the ajax request is made and this request is done only after a button is pressed in 1st panel. Now, my problem is that my 2nd panel is already rendered initially and how can my 2nd panel know that the request was successful , fetch the output of ajax request and display the result only if it was successful?
by mistake
17 Sep 2011 8:06 AM #2
You can specify both a success and a failure callback when you trigger the Ajax request.
see http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!...method-request
The success callback function could then call a method on the second panel and pass the loaded contents.
Not sure if you use the new MVC framework or a 'classic' architecture.
You could also define a custom 'tabload' event and have the Ajax.request callback function fire this event (with the loaded content as argument).
17 Sep 2011 8:39 AM #3
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I am using MVC framework.
Can you please explain more about custom 'tabload' event, what should be written in it and how to fire it?
Isn't there any function in extjs to re-render or update the content of the panel so that it would load the panel again?
17 Sep 2011 9:46 AM #4
You can fire events on any object that extends from Ext.util.Observable e.g. any Component. For custom events you need to register the event with .addEvent([eventname]) once (in the constructor). You can then register listeners on the object with .on([eventname], [listener]) and fireEvents with .fireEvent([eventname], [arguments]).
You can also use Ext.Application as application-wide event-bus.
A solution *without* custom event would look like this:
In your controller, register a click handler on your button. The click handler sends off the Ajax request with a success callback.
Your callback function needs a reference to the TabPanel (the one holding the first and second tab). In the callback you can then obtain the 2nd tab from the TabPanel reference and do whatever you need to do with it.
Isn't there any function in extjs to re-render or update the content of the panel so that it would load the panel again?
19 Sep 2011 7:38 AM #5
Thanks a lot for reply.
I tried the second solution without custom event.
After the ajax request is called, I called a function which will be executed in the second tab. The function gets an array of objects and I want to display them items of the panel. I tried to load the panel from the function but it doesn't recognize it saying that it is undefined, may be because the panel is outside the function. How can I resolve this issue?
var Panel = new Ext.Panel({ id: 'pPanel', title: 'Plots', height: 500, width: '70%', layout: 'fit', autoScroll: 'true', items:[] }); //The function that is called after ajax request loadcontent:function(){ puts the content into an array and I am trying to display it like this: //for adding items to the panel for (var i=0; i < array.length; i++) { Panel.add( { xtype: 'component', autoEl: { tag: 'img', src: array[i], width: 700, align: 'middle' } }); }; //Both of them gave an error and content wasnot loaded in the panel. Ext.getCmp('pPanel').load(array[i]); or Panel.load(Image.array[i]); }
19 Sep 2011 6:42 PM #6
I need to see more code to give specific feedback.
Adding items to an already rendered panel should make the changes appear instantly. Just to make sure you could call panel.doLayout() to force arranging the elements.
Also, you are not adding simple html to the panel, you are adding Ext UI components. There is a big difference!!
For one you will require a proper layout to be set on your panel, otherwise the items will not get arranged correctly: 'fit' layout will not work - try the 'auto' layout (is the default if you don't specify a layout) - or maybe 'hbox' or 'vbox' for the start since 'auto' can be tricky sometimes.
Maybe just add a component with html: array[i] for debugging purposes to rule out problems with the IMG component.
Depending on what you are planning to do with the images in the panel later, a better approach might be to use a XTemplate on the panel (see the tpl config property), then just call panel.update() and pass in the urls as parameter.
For your panel reference: for now you should use Ext.getCmp to make it easier. Later you should worry about the 'scope' of your loadcontent function and find a better way to obtain a reference to your panel instance.
21 Sep 2011 1:46 AM #7
I haven't used XTemplate before so I was just trying out with following code:
var people = ['bloom1_ 5.08 .png','bloom1_ 8.08 .png']; var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate( '
 favorite people:
', '<tpl for="people">', '
 - {.}
', '</tpl>' ); var dvThumbs = new Ext.DataView({ autoScroll: true, tpl: tpl, autoHeight: false, height: 410, border: false }); var filterPanel = Ext.create('Ext.Panel', { bodyPadding: 5, width: 900, title: 'Filters', items:[dvThumbs], renderTo: Ext.getBody() });
21 Sep 2011 2:32 AM #8
I recommend you take smaller steps!
First, just use an XTemplate to render data into a DIV or the document body.
See the examples in the XTemplate API docs: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/api/Ext.XTemplate
Once you have this working, step it up and use a Ext.view.View (aka DataView).
Follow the example and create a Model plus Store, as shown in the first example here: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/api/Ext.view.View
Then try to feed the data into the data view directly without model and store using the 'data' property.
And yes, you need to define an itemSelector: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!...g-itemSelector
Btw, if you just need to display the images, there is no need for a data view. Data view will allow you to select images (that's why you need the itemSelector).
Otherwise use a panel, configure it with your XTemplate (=> tpl config property) and set the data (=> data config property). Then use Panel#update (see API docs) to display a different set of data (images).
21 Sep 2011 2:49 AM #9
Thanks a lot for the reply. I will try this.
I had tried without using Xtemplate and now I am facing problem with scope. My tabpanel which I have to update the images is a child of other subpanels so there seems to be some problem in displaying of items
var filterPanel = new Ext.Panel({ bodyPadding: 5, //width: 900, width: '70%', layout: 'auto', items: [{ xtype: 'datefield', fieldLabel: 'Start date' }, { xtype: 'datefield', fieldLabel: 'End date' } ], // renderTo: Ext.getBody() }); Ext.Ajax.request( { here i get the images and put in an array success : function( response ) { // for testing I am adding this field filterPanel.add( { xtype: 'datefield', fieldLabel: 'this date' } ); } });
21 Sep 2011 3:12 AM #10
Try with layout: 'anchor' on the panel!
Also, after adding an item you can try to force a re-sizing of child elements using panel.doLayout(); However, in Ext4 this should not be necessary since add will do it anyway. (So I would be surprised if it makes a difference)
