Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective - long-term capital appreciation - with lower volatility than, and moderate correlation to, major equity market indices. The fund uses a "manager of managers" approach by selecting one or more experienced equity managers to serve as subadvisers to manage the fund's assets. The fund allocates its assets among subadvisers that use long/short equity investment strategies that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to each other or major equity market indices. The fund may hire, terminate or replace subadvisers and modify material terms and conditions of subadvisory arrangements without shareholder approval. Each of the fund's subadvisers acts independently of any other subadviser and uses its own methodology to select portfolio investments.
The fund normally invests in equity securities, typically common stocks, including securities issued by other investment companies, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The fund may invest in equity securities of companies with any market capitalization. The fund's investments may include securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, including securities of issuers in emerging markets countries and securities denominated in any currency other than the U.S. dollar. The fund may significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors.
The fund expects to maintain significant short positions in equity securities and equity-related instruments, including the derivative instruments described below and shares of ETFs. Although the fund intends to maintain an overall long position in its portfolio investments, in certain circumstances, the fund's short positions may approach or reach the size of the fund's overall long position. A short sale involves the sale of a security that the fund does not own in the expectation of purchasing the same security (or a security exchangeable therefor) at a later date and at a lower price. The fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the fund replaces the security sold short. The fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those two dates. The fund's potential loss is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the security less the price at which the security was sold.
The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, contracts for difference, forward contracts, swaps (including total return swaps) and other derivative instruments, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, as an alternative to selling a security short, to increase returns, to manage foreign currency risk, as part of a hedging strategy or for other purposes related to the management of the fund. There is no limit to the amount of the fund's assets that may be invested in derivative instruments.
Equity Risk
Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer, and investment style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund's prospectus.
Small Company Risk
Small companies carry additional risks because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. The shares of smaller companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies.
Multi-Manager Risk
Each sub-adviser makes investment decisions independently, and it is possible that the investment styles of the sub-advisers may not complement one another. As a result, the fund's exposure to a given stock, industry or investment style could unintentionally be greater or smaller than it would have been if the fund had a single adviser.
Short Sale Risk
The fund may make short sales, which involves selling a security it does not own in anticipation that the security's price will decline. Short sales expose the fund to the risk that it will be required to buy the security sold short (also known as covering the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the fund. Short positions in stocks involve more risk than long positions in stocks because the maximum sustainable loss on a stock purchased is limited to the amount paid for the stock plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum attainable price on the shorted stock. In theory, stocks sold short have unlimited risk. The fund may not always be able to close out a short position, or borrow a security the fund seeks to sell short at a particular time or at an acceptable price. A lower net long exposure is not synonymous with lower overall risk.
The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures, forward contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), options on swaps, and other credit derivatives. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

What decides which machine a Timer Job is run on for jobs that have a lock of type JobLockType.Job?
Is it completely random?
What decides which machine a Timer Job is run on for jobs that have a lock of type JobLockType.Job?
Is it completely random?
I was researching the job lock types last week and found some good resources. Unfortunately none of them answer your question directly.
The best thing to do is run some tests similar to Scot's, then come back here and leave your results in an answer! :-)
I think its random, perhaps with a tendency to pick the same server that it ran on before if you reinstall the job. On latest engagement we looked at trying to get it to run on the WFE dedicated for being hit by query server, but had no luck with this. I even once saw the job run on two WFE even though it had SPJobLockType.Job !! (Hint: so make sure your code is stable enough to run in two instances even though you think it will always run alone)
It is a mystery to me too. I have had the best success, setting the scope of a timer job to WEB APPLICATION, and not Web or Site, then running the job directly off of the central administration web site.
To do this you need to activate the timer job install feature at the web application scope, make sure your feature doesn't auto activate by default either, or it will install and activate on every application.
Once your timer job is activated from central admin site, the job is forced to run on the server that hosts the central admin site, in 99.9% of the situations, you can determine this up front.
Also worth mentioning that if you intend to interact with managed meta data, you can expect problems if you run the job on anything other than the server that hosts central admin.

Winning the Spring Doesn't Fly in October
Toronto are a trendy pick in the AL East, after the acquisitions of Jose Reyes, R.A. Dickey and Josh Johnson. But if the Blue Jays hope to have success when games count, they should take it easy this spring.
Last season's team finished a league-best 24-7 in spring-training games. Then the regular season started and Toronto stumbled to a 73-89 record.
Kansas City has had the spring's best record twice in the last 10 years. But spring training momentum has clearly not helped the Royals, who have finished over .500 only once in the regular season during that same span.
Success during the exhibition season doesn't always forecast a bleak year. The 2008 Rays advanced to the World Series, while the 1997 Marlins are the last team to win the spring and the Fall Classic.
Corrections & Amplifications
The Kansas City Royals play spring-training games in the Cactus League in Arizona. An earlier version of this story mentioned that they play in the Grapefruit League in Florida.

Silver Cups Foreshadow Green Jackets
China's Guan Tianlang at age 14 will be the youngest player ever to compete at the Masters, when he tees off Thursday. The 2012 Asian Amateur champion however, isn't likely to be wearing the green jacket on Sunday. In fact, he's a longshot to even make the cut. That being said, the experience Guan and the five other amateurs in the field gain this week could prove invaluable in future years.
This has been the case for a handful of the event's most decorated champions, including Jack Nicklaus, Ben Crenshaw, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods who have 15 wins and 59 tops 10's between them. Prior to their success as pros, each also captured the Silver Cup, awarded to the top amateur who survives the cut.
One former Silver Cup winner who looks poised to make a run at a more coveted piece of hardware this weekend is Matt Kuchar. While still a student at Georgia Tech, Kuchar finished tied for 21st. After nearly winning last year's Masters, he could be primed to take home the title, following wins at the Players Championship and Accenture ACN 0.65 % World Match Play in the past 12 months.
Two other top-25 players, Sergio Garcia and Hunter Mahan, both former low amateurs at Augusta, have top-10 Masters finishes and could also break through with their first major win this weekend.
As for the amateurs this year, Steven Fox is the favorite to win the Silver Cup at 5-2, according to online bookmaker Bovada. Guan, meanwhile, is 8-1.
—Ed Brockner
Corrections & Amplifications
Ben Crenshaw won the Masters in 1984 and 1995. An earlier version of the chart incorrectly stated that Crenshaw won the tournament in 1985.

NestedDivFrame appearance relies on background resource in Blue theme
If you take a look at the CSS file for NestedDivFrame, you will notice it is full of sprites like the offending background one:
@sprite .content { gwt-image: 'background'; overflow: visible; height: auto; width: auto; }
public interface BlueFramedPanelDivFrameResources extends FramedPanelDivFrameResources, ClientBundle { @ImageOptions(repeatStyle = RepeatStyle.Both) ImageResource background(); // Needs to be in NestedDivFrameResources. }
Also, the extends ClientBundle should be in the NestedDivFrameResources interface in my opinion.
15 May 2012 9:47 AM #2
Thanks for the critiques. You're completely right - referencing an image that the interface doesn't require is not at all what we want to do here. I've filed an API review ticket against the team and will update here with any changes we make.
We don't add the extends ClientBundle until the very last interface because this triggers the GWT ClientBundle generators. Whenever we add extends ClientBundle, every CSS file that is included into a CssResource must already be specified. As a result, we only add extends ClientBundle on the Blue resources class.
6 Nov 2012 2:12 PM #3
NestedDivFrameResources defines the images required for the frame. However, the base theme does not provide any images. The interface should be extended to provide implementation. Because images are not provided in the base theme, the interface does not extend ClientBundle as this would cause errors as GWT tries to validate that images exist. Subclasses should extend ClientBundle.
I have added better docs to NestedDivFrame and NestedDivFrameResources to make this clear.

White fish with spinach and pine nuts make a simple, yet elegant meal.
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 15M
Serves: Serves 4
- 4 turbot fillets or other white fish fillets, such as haddock, sustainable cod, or pollack, 51/2oz (150g) each
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- handful of plump raisins
- handful of pine nuts, toasted

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the fish and cook gently for 10-12 minutes, turning once, until opaque throughout. This will depend on the thickness of the fish, but be careful not to overcook. Remove the fillets from the pan, and set aside to keep warm.
- Carefully wipe out the pan with paper towels, then add the remaining oil. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the raisins, pine nuts, and capers and cook for a few minutes longer, breaking up the capers with the back of a fork. Stir in the spinach, and cook until just wilted. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the fish on a bed of the wilted spinach mixture.
- Salting the fish helps keep it firm while cooking.

I've got the spices, jars, etc. I was wondering if there is a special salt, or can I just use table salt?
One thing you also might want to consider when making pickles is the process of heating versus not. I recently learned that the crispy store bought pickles are pickled at low temps (my preferred method), where as softer pickles were most likely heated first. Not sure which method you are using, but this may help as you move forward. My step-mother recently made some awesome pickles with chilies and dill and garlic but heated them first in the canning process and they turned out a bit too soft for my liking.
Regarding salt... I happen to agree with Adam's comment on the brine. I usually confirm salt is dissolved before it goes into the pickling solution, so it's not a problem. In that respect, a good quality salt, regardless of shape and size should be used (feel free to grind it in a mortar with a pestle if you think it should be finer). I happen to use coarse Kosher from Morton for most things...
"Pickling salt" is sold, the main difference being the absence of iodine and anti-caking agents. The anti-caking agents can cloud the pickling liquid, but shouldn't effect the flavor. Iodine can impart a bit of a bitter aftertaste, and some sources say can "react adversely with some foods".
I've never noticed a difference between the taste of table salt and that of kosher/pickling salt, but apparently others can. In any case, the differences are fairly minor. I would recommend investing in some kosher salt (its cheap) and using that in place of normal table salt. See http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/2242/why-do-some-recipes-recommend-kosher-salt
Pickling salt is very fine-grained, so that it will dissolve easily. It is important to have an even salt solution when pickling. You can use a more coarse salt; just take care it's dissolved completely.
Iodized salt can also turn the pickled items a darker color.
In addition to the things other answers have mentioned, its important that you use the same amount of salt, by weight, not volume.
All of the following are actually different amounts of salt, despite being the same volume:
Those weights come from:

GRANBY - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is inviting kids ages 12 and younger to enjoy a free fishing clinic on Saturday, June 9, at Kaibab Fishing Pond in Granby.
The event begins at 9 a.m. and is scheduled to wrap up around 1 p.m.
Among the various topics, wildlife officers will teach participants about the basics of casting, lures and bait, and will explain how angling plays an important part in managing Colorado fisheries.
"Fishing can encourage kids to enjoy a life of healthy outdoor recreation,"said Scott Murdoch, District Wildlife Manager in Granby. "Many of us remember the thrill of pulling that first fish out of some pond. Maybe some of these kids will one day pass that passion and some of the things they learned at this clinic on to their children."
The class is limited to the first 30 youngsters registered. All fishing equipment will be provided, however drinking water, bug spray, sunscreen, a sack lunch, hats and other personal items are recommended.
To reserve a spot, parents should call the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Hot Sulphur Springs Service Center at 970-725-6200.

The first day of racing is done, and the mechanical carnage has been horrific; LeMons Perpetrator Nick Pon was heard to utter "Dang, looks like a Taurus grenade done went off in the SHO pits!
That's right, it appears that the three SHOs that started the race have become one running SHO and a pair of parts cars, and they've got plenty of wrenchin' company in the pits. Yet some of the cars are holding together, and we saw an ever-shifting cast of top contenders today. When the first session ended at 6:30, the Dirty Some Beaches Honda Civic station wagon was on top. How? Well, any Civic that can keep its head gasket intact will get around the track pretty well, and the Dirty Some Beaches drivers know how to avoid the black flags; we have yet to see them in the Penalty Box. Adding drama to the standings, the #4 car (a Miata run by the same Texans who have been the People's Curse victims in both Houston races so far) started out with a 25-lap penalty and has managed to claw its way out of that hole, now closing to within just two laps of the leader. And what's the deal with that Grand Prix in the top ten? There's no telling how this will all shake out, but it should be 90 degrees and swampy in Belle Rose tomorrow, which means more thrown rods, more fried brakes, and more overall hoonage.

My question is: Should I flag a lengthy question, or should I just leave it alone? And if so, how long does it have to be to qualify?

General Questions About the Catholic Writers Guild
What is the Catholic Writers Guild?
The Catholic Writers' Guild is a professional group of writers, artists, editors, illustrators, and allies whose mission is to build a vibrant Catholic literary culture.
Is the CWG a non-profit organization?
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All of our funding goes toward educational and promotional programs for Catholic authors and their sharing of Catholic values. Our dues are tax deductible. With few exceptions, all programs are volunteer-run. (Our webmasters, accountant, and conference coordinators receive a small stipend for their work.)
What does the CWG do?
- The Seal of Approval: a program for getting your book evaluated and approved for its Catholicity. The Seal of Approval is a signal to Catholic bookstores that they can carry your book without concern about its content.
- Marketing Newsletter Program: a bi-monthly mailing to readers, bookstores, and others in the publishing industry featuring member books with an Imprimatur or CWG Seal of Approval.
- CWG Newsletter: We keep our members informed on what's going on in the world of Catholic writing and in the Guild.
- Critique groups: where you can work with others to improve your writing.
- Group subscription to Animoto.com, so you can build promotional book trailers.
- Writing conferences: We produce two writers conferences per year. The first is the Catholic Writers Conference Online, a free conference open to all writers Catholic and non-Catholic and the Catholic Writers Conference Live, held in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network (CMN) Trade Show.
- CWG Booth: At the CMN trade show (and sometimes other shows), we have a booth where members can promote their books to suppliers, bookstore owners, and readers.
- Work opportunities: Sometimes publishers come to us with employment opportunities, which we post on the forum. Several members have found regular writing gigs through the Guild.
- Regular weekly chats: Open to the public, we pray, encourage each other and "listen" to engaging speakers on various topics related to our faith and writing.
What do people do in the CWG?
Obviously, you can take advantage of the many promotional programs we offer. In addition, we have a variety of other programs for our members:
- In our forums, members can start up discussions on all aspects of writing, marketing, faith, social action, or just socialize.
- Members can join our weekly chats, which are open to anyone, to meet in a more spontaneous setting to ask questions, share news and pray.
- Join in on one of the many volunteer opportunities:
- ---Assist with the conferences
---Become a reader for the Seal of Approval Program
- Share market news.
- Get your news on the CWG home page--just send a media release to webmaster(at)catholicwritersguild.com
- Got an idea you can't accomplish alone? Bring it up to the officers! All of our programs are member-generated.
Who Can Be Members and How to Join
Why is there a membership fee?
One of the reasons for creating the CWG was to pool our resources for projects that aren't easy to do as individuals. The dues are for such projects. Dues fund the website and part of the conference fees--including our conference booth and hotel accommodations for volunteers--pay for group subscriptions to e-zines, provide stickers for the Seal of Approval recipients, and support other activities. It's a lot of benefit for $30 a year.
I can't afford the dues, but I want to join. What can I do?
We have, on occasion, given memberships to those in financial hardships. We ask that those who get a free membership do some volunteer work for the Guild in return.
Do I have to be Catholic to Join?
As the mission of the group is to support the Magesterium of the Church, writers need to be Catholic. However, we also recognize that the Catholic publishing field is narrow, while Catholic writers often write for non-Catholic Christian and secular publications. Therefore editors and publishers who are not Catholic but interested in joining are welcome, as long as they respect our Catholic beliefs and values.
Do I have to be a writer to join?
Members include all those involved in the publishing industry: writers, editors, illustrators, and publishers. "Writers" includes bloggers, reviewers, and those just starting out in their writing either as a career or as a hobby.
Do I have to be a published author to join?
No. We have writers at all levels--from those just starting out to those who are multi-published; novelists, magazine writers, bloggers... We're a diverse group.
My stories aren't Catholic--can I still be a member?
Yes. As our conference motto says, we "rooted in faith, writing for the world." Most of our members write works that are not specifically Catholic. However, if you are writing works that go against the Catholic faith, this is not the group for you. You must be a Catholic and agree to remain loyal the teachings of the Catholic Church.

What Are the Benefits of Membership?
What benefits do members have?
- You can get your book evaluated and approved for its Catholicity with the Seal of Approval (SoA). The SoA is meant to be a signal to Catholic bookstores that they can carry the book without concern about its content.
- If your book has an Imprimatur or the CWG Seal of Approval, you can have your book featured in the CWG Marketing Newsletter which is sent to feaders, bookstores and others in the publishing world.
- You can work with others to improve your writing in our critique groups.
- Join one of the two writing conferences we host each year: the Catholic Writers Conference Online, a free conference, and the Catholic Writers Conference Live, held in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network.
- Get your books posted in the CWG Showcase (currently offline until new website is developed).
- Promote your books at the CWG-sponsored booths at various conferences throughout the year.
- Take advantage of the employment opportunities posted on the forum. Several members have found regular writing gigs through the Guild.
How many members have become published because of their participation in CWG?
That is difficult to say. We have had members get published as a result of opportunities found through the Guild or Guild-sponsored conferences. Also, Guild members have found support and critique opportunities that have enabled them to improve their craft to make it publishable. We do not have specific numbers.
The Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval
What is the CWG Seal of Approval (SoA)? What is its purpose?
The CWG Seal of Approval is a kind of gatekeeping device for Catholic bookstore owners and readers. Simply put, it s an endorsement that the book supports Catholic beliefs and values. We began the SoA after discussions with Catholic bookstore owners who said they often did not have time to fully evaluate books and thus often didn't stock books that came from unknown writers or smaller presses.
The SoA is not a critique of a work, but rather an assurance of its Catholicity and that neither the work nor its author go against the Mageristerium authority of the Catholic Church. We evaluate for Catholicity as well as for basic quality. The bottom line is: Would this book be an acceptable addition to a bookstore's inventory?
How does the SoA help authors?
Authors looking to reach a Catholic audience, but whose books do not qualify for an imprimatur (like fiction), or authors who do not have access to the process to get an Imprimatur, can submit their book for the SoA. A committee reads and comments on the book. If there are any concerns, they are brought to the author, who may respond to the committee or accept to consider for future editions. If necessary, a priest is brought in to evaluate the concerns. The SoA process has two benefits: It provides a tangible reassurance to readers and bookstore owners that the book does support Catholic beliefs and values; and in the case that it does not, it gives the author some useful feedback.
How does the SoA help readers?
Readers can be assured that SoA books will not offend their faith.
How does the SoA help bookstore owners?
Store owners can be assured that they can stock the book on their shelves, host the author for a signing, etc.
Who can receive the Seal of Approval? Is it only for CWG members?
The SoA is available to Catholic authors of Catholic books (or fiction that supports Catholic traditions and morals.) You do not have to be a member of the CWG to receive the Seal of Approval. It is for books only. The Seal of Approval does not transfer to other books by the same author, nor can it apply to websites, blogs, magazines or other non-static works.
The SoA can only be awarded to published books or manuscripts that are under contract. Manuscripts under contract should have gone through content edits already. The reason for this is to ensure no changes that might alter the Catholic nature of the book are made after the award is given. Self-publishing authors may submit manuscripts, but again with the understanding that the copy will not be undergoing content changes. The manuscript must be publish-ready before it can be reviewed.
How do I apply?
To apply for the Seal of Approval, you need to fill out a questionnaire, which you can get here. Those submitting electronic copies may attach them to their e-mail. You may also be asked to submit up to five copies of your book to evaluators. Please note that books are not returned.
Who evaluates the book?
Three to five members of the SoA Committee, who are members in good standing in the CWG. Evaluators are chosen based on Catholic character and familiarity with our faith. The review process is somewhat elementary; whenever we have a conflict or potential concern about any book, we then take it to one of the priests who are members of the Guild. They will answer concerns, often citing religious writings to support or refute the concern.
What are the guidelines for approval?
You can see the evaluation form here.
If I receive an SoA , can I incorporate the seal into my cover art?
Yes, you may, as long as you do not change the content of the book in a way that might violate the intent of the award. Right now, CWG members are allowed to submit contracted manuscripts for the SoA ,so that, if awarded, they may incorporate the seal into their design. Recipients of the SoA will receive 25 sticker seals, and jpgs of the seal in color and grayscale for use in cover art or on their website.
What weight or impact does the SoA have on the overall sales and/or marketing of someone's book?
We can make no guarantee on its effect on sales. Too many factors contribute to a book's success, from the quality of writing to how aggressive the author and publisher are in marketing. What we can say is that we are developing a reputation among Catholic bookstore owners that a book with the SoA is one they can feel confident in stocking on their shelves, and among Catholic readers that books with the SoA will not offend their Catholic values. We promote SoA books at our booth at the Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show, which is visited by thousands of retailers each year.
Can the benefits of having an SoA on my book be measured?
That depends on what you mean. We cannot guarantee bookstores will stock SoA books, but the SoA does improve your chances. As the program grows in reputation, bookstore owners will consider these books despite the fact that they do not come from the usual large Catholic publishers. CWG members also get the added benefits of Guild-sponsored marketing programs for SoA titles. (These programs are open to member books with an Imprimatur as well.)
I have an SoA. How do I get more seals for my books?
You can order extra seals in groups of 25. The price is currently $10.00 per 25, plus shipping.
Is there a list of SoA recipients?
You can see the list of SoA recipients here. The list is updated quarterly: January, April, July, and October.
Catholic Arts and Letters Award
What is the CWG Catholic Arts and Letters Award (CALA)? What is its purpose?
The CWG Catholic Arts and Letters Award, or CALA, is a literary award for excellence, both in the writing and in the presentation of Catholic tradition and values. It is awarded on an annual basis to books written in the calendar year, and there is an occasional award to individuals who have made significant contributions to Catholic writing.
Unlike the SoA, the CALA is a competitive process rather than a simple evaluation of Catholicity and writing quality.
Who can receive the CALA? Is it only for CWG members?
The CALA is available to Catholic authors of Catholic fiction (or fiction that supports Catholic traditions and morals.) You do not have to be a member of the CWG to apply for the CALA. The CALA is for published works only. At this time, only printed books are considered; e-books do not qualify. We hope to be able to change this in the future.
To be eligible, your book must have the CWG Seal of Approval or an Imprimatur.
What are the categories?
See the CALA website for more details.
How do I apply?
To apply for the CALA, you need to fill out a questionnaire, which you can get here. There is an entrance fee and you must submit up to five copies of your book to evaluators. Please note that neither entrance fee nor books are returned.
What are the application dates?
You may submit books for consideration from April of the award year through Jan 31 of the next year. For example, books published in 2010 may be submitted between April 1, 2010 and January 31, 2011.
Who evaluates the book?
Judges' names will be posted on the CALA webpage.
What do the winners receive?
Winners receive a trophy, which is presented live at the Catholic Writers Conference Live/Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show in August if the author or publisher can attend. (If not, the book and author are announced and the trophy sent to them.) Winners also receive a graphic of the CALA seal to incorporate into their artwork or website, and can purchase seals to put on their books.

The 2010 NSRA Street Rod Nationals - It's About Time ... And Cool Classic TrucksWritten by on December 3, 2010 The 2010 NSRA Street Rod Nationals
I've always loved the Nats, and since my first Nationals back in '76 (in Tulsa, Oklahoma) I've done my best to make the show every year I possibly could. But, I have to admit that this year's gathering was a milestone to say the least, and what made it such was the fact that it was, for the first time, open to post-'48 vehicles! That's right! Finally we classic truckers with post-'48 pickups have a brand-new venue-one that consistently draws anywhere between 8,000 and 12,000 entries each year. (For those who've never attended, it's huge. Imagine over 300 vendors spread throughout 500,000 square feet of indoor exhibit area on top of the acres and acres of aforementioned cool cars and trucks on display).
In the past, the association's strict pre-'49 year cutoff pretty much disqualified a large portion of the truck contingent. Sure, there has always been a pretty darn good turnout of street rod pickups ('27 to '40), F-1s, and, of course, '47-48 Chevys but, in all honesty, it's been mainly the domain of street rods for the 50 or so years it's been held. But, as I said, this past season the NSRA has opened up the year break for the Nats up to and including 1980! Finally classic truckers and their pride and joys had the opportunity to be a part of one of the biggest and most fun events in the hobby, and though the classic truck turnout was larger than any previous gathering I'm hoping that the Nats will become a premier classic truck destination in the future.
That said, I wanted to give you a peek at some of the pickups that were there this past August to give you an idea of what's in store for those who add the NSRA Nationals to their event calendar in 2011. So take a look at a fraction of the pickups I ran across this past season, and then please consider making the Nats one of the events you choose to attend this year. Believe me, if you've never been it'll be an experience-show up once and you'll be hooked!

For years early or pre-'48 vehicles like Larry and Pat Charles' beautiful Chevy were all you'd see at the NSRA Nationals-not that that was a bad thing mind you. But the NSRA's year extension has opened up a whole new spectrum of post-'48 vehicles that's going to transform what was already a great gathering into an even bigger and better annual event that we classic truckers can and will become a big part of in the future.Danny Mile's awesome '56 F-100 is one beautiful pickup-and it's trucks like this that'll garner the attention of potential future classic truck aficionados-just wait, you'll be seeing diehard street rodders turning their sight to classic pickups in the very near future, mark my words.Here's a sight that up until this year would have only been seen in a local Louisville hotel parking lot during the Nats rather than on the showgrounds. Larry and Dianne Johnson's way-cool '40 nose to nose with Nick and Angela Hooper's '67 is a perfect example of what the future holds for the Nationals-and a sight I can't wait to see taken advantage of by us classic truckers too!Phil Bailey's way-cool '58 is a perfect example of neat classic pickups of the post-'48 persuasion that are now welcomed at the Nats. Phil's Athens, Alabama-based Chevy really caught my eye as the number of cool '58s and '59s has really begun to grow in the last couple of years.Paul and Mary Lindsey made their way to Louisville behind the wheel of their good-looking '66 Chevy. Its OEM-style two-tone paint scheme, nice stance, and great wheel/tire combo make this baby a real eye catcher.There's something about hot rod suede black, five-spokes, and a smattering of old-school pinstriping that just grabs me. Karen and Rick Basham's '56 Chevy was one that lured me from five rows over for a closer look-it's traditional hot rod styling hits the nail on the head and really has me considering rethinking the color choice for my own '57.Of course since this was the first Street Rod Nationals that the year break had been extended the majority of trucks in attendance were still pre-'48 (though we later-model truckers will hopefully give 'em a run for their money from now on). My old pal Don Hanson's Deuce pickup has for years been one of my favorite street rod trucks and though I never did run across him it was great to see both he and his '32 are still going strong!
Of course since this was the first Street Rod Nationals that the year break had been extended the majority of trucks in attendance were still pre-'48 (though we later-model truckers will hopefully give 'em a run for their money from now on). My old pal Don Hanson's Deuce pickup has for years been one of my favorite street rod trucks and though I never did run across him it was great to see both he and his '32 are still going strong!Cheryl and Cornell Woosley's '68 C10 was another black suede beauty that caught my eye. Cornell Woosley certainly knew exactly what he wanted stylingwise and his hot rod-inspired pickup hit the nail on the head. Check out the '57 Chevy passenger car dash-a neat touch don't you think? Keep your eyes peeled for a full-on feature on this one in the future.Travis Bearden's solid '72 drew a steady crowd of admirers during the course of the show. The fact that the Chevy sported a for sale sign, a long list of recent upgrades, and a fair sale price may have had a lot to do with it though. I wonder if the '72 went home with a new owner after the show?Another cool classic that really caught my eye was Riley Buttry's '57 Dodge. For some reason '55-57 Dodges are becoming enticing to me lately-in fact I've had fleeting thoughts of dropping an early plunge.This good-looking Chevy belonging to Ken and Andy Bentz is looking good. The off-white or cream color gives this ol' workhorse a pretty classy look, and its red painted steel wheels provide an affordable yet complementary look to the overall package.Suburban's are another model of classic trucks that are enjoying increased popularity nowadays even though they are rare in numbers compared to pickups. This pair of similar Suburbans belong to Mark DeBrecht and Jim Benny respectively. DeBrecht's full height lid is shown here in relation to Benny's slightly sliced version is a good example of different strokes for different folks.Tom Smith's slick C10 was yet another cool later-model classic truck making its first foray into the inner sanctum of the Nationals. Not only was I impressed by Smith's pickup but wholeheartedly agree with his honoring of America's armed forces, as well! Semper fi Mr. Smith! And heartfelt thanks to each and every man and woman in uniform-if not for your selfless service we wouldn't be free to enjoy that which we do. God bless you each and every one!
One of the cooler contemporary-style classic pickups at the Nats was Ron Heuglin's chopped and slammed '48 Chevy. Its ground-scraping stance and good-looking wheel and tire combo complement its lowered lid and contemporary color choice.Dave Jordan's '51 Studebaker is a great example of a way-cool classic we see much too little of these days. Though so far not as popular with "rodstorers" as the big three badges are, Studes like Jordan's just go to show how neat they can be when approached with the same types of upgrades showered on Ford, Chevy, and Dodge pickups.John Davidson has the patina'd shop truck look nailed with his bitchin '48 F-1. And though the well-used Ford looks as though it's earned its place as a pleasure craft versus a workhorse it's been treated to a new lease on life under its sheetmetal. Davidson's F-1 sports a 390/C6 combo, a Lincoln rearend, four-wheel disc brakes, TCI Mustang-style IFS, and a full helping of air ride suspension.Though this good-looking lineup is comprised of '48-and-earlier classic pickups it's just one shot among many seen in numerous aisles at the Nats. Next year I'm hoping to see many more groupings of classic trucks of the post-'48 variety all over the Louisville grounds! Like I said earlier-the NSRA Nationals could easily become one of the nation's largest gatherings of classic trucks-a possibility that'll keep my fingers crossed, for sure.Tom Culver's got one neat Chevy on his hands. This Decatur, Alabama-based '56 sports a set of Buick-inspired portholes, a smattering of custom-style scallops, and wide whites wrapped around a quartet of bullet-capped chrome reverse wheels. Though, I guess I should have said had on his hands, because last I heard Culver sold the '56 before the show was over.

Online Workshop: Creating Structure in an Unstructured Internship
"How to (and not to) make the most out of your internship," by Lauren Landry of BostInno, featuring Andrea Dine, Hiatt's associate director of career development
Internship Search
Defining Internships
Internships are supervised work experiences that combine critical thinking and intentional reflection within your liberal arts interests. By embarking on an internship, you will be able to sharpen your skills, develop career interests and employer contacts, assess your strengths, and connect classroom theories to practical, real world settings.
A search for the perfect internship may require a good deal of time, dedication, patience, and effort, however you will be learning valuable search skills that you can use in future internship and job searches for the rest of your career. As always, Hiatt can assist you with your specific questions and needs.
Starting Your Search
It's never too early to start thinking about your internship plans. While many timelines vary by industry (e.g. finance and government tend to have earlier deadlines in the fall, whereas media internships may be later in the spring), it is safe to say that the average search cane take about three months.
International Students: If you are an international student on a student visa (F-1, J-1), please consult with the Brandeis International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) immediately so that an ISSO Advisor can assist you in securing the necessary visa authorization, if eligible, to pursue an internship opportunity. Processing can take, on average, two weeks to process and must be completed in advance of beginning an internship experience. Feel free to contact the ISSO by phone (email@example.com) or by phone (781-736-3480) if you have any questions.
Internship Search Process
First, it is important to reflect upon your interests, skills, personality, and values before starting the search process. This foundational work will enhance your internship search decision-making, as well as your materials and activities including networking, resume and cover letter writing and interviewing.
In addition, you will need to research careers so that you are sufficiently informed about career options, and are able to select a few areas of interest.
Once you have narrowed down your career interests, it's time to figure out what is most important to you in your internship experience:
- Role – Is there a particular function you want to fill? Do you want to be doing particular tasks or using particular skills, regardless of industry? (i.e., marketing, accounting, etc.)
- Industry – Is there a particular field that you want to join, no matter what you might be doing? (i.e., education, corporate finance, museums, etc.)
- Type of organization – Do you want to work in a small or large organization? What about for a for-profit, non-profit, or government organization?
- Mission/issue area – Are you passionate about a particular issue? Do you want to work for an organization that addresses that mission?
- Other considerations – Funding, academic credit, geography, and public transportation can influence your priorities, as well.
Note: International students must receive work authorization before accepting an internship. This may take planning and time. Speak with the ISSO before making any internship plans.
Finding an Internship
Most internships are not posted online. In fact, some may not even exist yet! Many students find success in networking their way into and creating their own internships. Here's how:
Identify organizations that fit your interests
These resources may help you:
- Reference USA (accessible through LTS) is an employer database that can help you pinpoint organizations in your interest and geographic areas.
- LinkedIn has great company profiles. Plus you can browse current and past employees for potential connections.
- Networking - You may learn about an organization from a networking contact.
- Internet searches - If you have a narrow field of interest or small geographic region, keyword searches may yield results.
Find Contact Person(s)
Identify appropriate, strategic contact people. Look on organizations' websites, on LinkedIn, or at a staff directory. You may need to utilize a general email address or phone number first in order to find the best contact person. You may need to contact several people at the same organization to prompt a response.
Network, Network, Network
Draft a professional email introducing yourself briefly and stating why you are interested in this particular organization. Mention that you are hoping to speak with someone to research the organization, and how you might contribute to their mission or role. It is unprofessional to ask for an internship, and by doing so you may leave out valuable volunteer experiences or project work that could be just as beneficial. Learn more about networking and informational interview strategies.
Follow up
You may not hear back from an organization immediately. Consider a follow up email or phone call about a week after your initial contact. This will confirm your interest in the organization, as well as demonstrate your persistence and initiative.
Searching Posted Internships
Based on your priorities, use keywords to guide your searches. You may want to refer back to your career research for help identifying key terms for your particular area(s) of interest. Look for vernacular, industry-language, distinctive vocabulary, specialized skills, and common phrases.
There are many resources that post open positions. This is not a finite list, however you may wish to consider these in your search:
- B.hired, a Brandeis-only database, lists internships, jobs, and domestic and international company information, and allows you to create and save customized searches. B.hired also houses two other posting sites: Liberal Arts Career Network* and NIC*. Learn more about how to use B.hired effectively.
- Brandeis Internship Exchange is a place for you to search and review real internship opportunities from Brandeis students.
- Spotlight on Careers* is a multi-functional tool where you can research occupations as well as find many industry-specific internship databases.
- Vault* is an online library includes over 90 extensive career guides, employer profiles, and over 3,000 company profiles.
- Going Global* is a great resource for finding global employment. The Going Global Country Career Guides contain resources on such topics as: job search resources, work permit and visa regulations, compensation information, resume/CV writing guidelines and examples, and cultural and interviewing advice.
- Organizations often post open internships on their own websites. Look for "Careers" or "Volunteer Opportunities" in their navigation menu, or try searching for "internship" on their site map.
- Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com are "spider sites," meaning that they search many different websites and consolidate the results into one search.
- Idealist.org houses a database of internships and employers, particularly in the non-profit sector.
*To access these resources, log into B.hired > Articles.
Preparing a Successful Application
The best applications are those that are targeted to a specific position or employer, so be sure to research the organization before you apply. Most applications require a resume and cover letter. Others may ask for writing sample, portfolio, transcript, and/or samples of your work.
If your applications materials landed you an interview, it is imperative that you prepare and practice. Learn more about interview preparation.
If you are fortunate enough to receive an offer of employment, you should know about all your options. Learn more about responding to offers.

During the film Donnie Darko, Donnie occasionally talks with Frank, who we end up finding out at the end of the film is a guy that Donnie shot because he accidentally ran over his girlfriend. Is Frank a manifestation of Donnie's consience, having premonitioned what was going to happen in the future? If not, what was Frank supposed to be?
The real-life Frank that runs over Donnie's girlfriend is Elizabeth's (Donnie's sister) boyfriend. We see him drive past Donnie at the start of the movie after dropping her off at home shortly before the engine crashes into the house. You can see this sequence of events more clearly at the end of the film.
The Frank that Donnie speaks to throughout the movie is a Messenger sent to warn Donnie of the impending end of the world. The characters that are killed in the alternate universe are manipulated by whomever is helping Donnie save the world. They are known as Manipulated Dead and are briefly explained in the book from the director's cut.

1)Why embedding of ( not necessarily finite-dimensional) vector spaces $V\rightarrow W$ produces embedding of tensor algebras $T(V)\rightarrow T(W)$. I can prove it using Hamel basis in $W$ but is there a nicer ( more functorial ) argument? 2) How to prove the same statement for modules over an algebra instead of vector spaces?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If $V$ is a subspace of $W$, consider the inclusion $f:V\to W$ and any map $g:W\to V$ such that $g\circ f=1_V$; to construct $g$, you need to use bases or something equivalent, for it does not exist over, say, a general ring...
Now $T(-)$ is a functor, so $T(g)\circ T(f)=T(1_V)=1_{T(V)}$. It follows that the map $T(f):T(V)\to T(W)$ is injective.
Let me give another answer to 1).
In general, given a linear mapping $$\phi \colon E \to F$$ it extends uniquely to a homomorphism $$T(\phi) \colon T(E) \to T(F).$$ The proof can be made coordinate-free, in fact it follows from the universal property of $T(E)$ applied to the map $$\eta \colon E \to T(F),$$ where $\eta=i \circ \phi$ and $i \colon F \to T(F)$ is the natural embedding.
By construction it follows
$$T(\phi)(x_1 \otimes \ldots \otimes x_p)=\phi x_1 \otimes \ldots \otimes \phi x_p.$$
If $\psi \colon F \to G$ is another linear map one obtains $$T(\psi \circ \phi)=T(\psi) \circ T(\phi),$$ hence $T(\phi)$ is injective [risp. surjective] whenever $\phi$ is injective [resp. surjective].
For more details, see for instance [Greub, Multilinear Algebra, Chapter III].

5 Light-Hearted Movies With Dark Moral Implications
Sometimes, movies or shows that go out of their way to be light and inoffensive end up accidentally creating complex moral dilemmas. The writers will often do everything possible to avoid pointing out the troubling implications of their innocent plot ... but don't worry, that's what we're here for.
#5. Harry Potter -- Wizards Disprove Most World Religions
If we say, "The existence of wizards would disprove most world religions," you could easily shrug and say, "Well, yeah, but so would the existence of the Force." But there's a key difference; there are no Christians or Muslims in the Star Wars universe. There are in the Harry Potter universe, and some of them are also wizards.
After all, every year we see the characters celebrating Christmas. Unless the "Christ" part refers to something else in this reality, that probably means that at least some of these characters believe in Jesus.
"What did our lord Christopher Walken get you this year, Harry?"
Also, in one of the books we see the tombstone of Harry's parents with a Bible verse engraved on it, so it would be safe to assume that they were at least a little bit religious.
That, or whoever buried them was kind of a jerk.
This presents a massive crisis of faith for anyone living in the world of Harry Potter, as the fact that magic exists automatically contradicts half the stuff that's in the Bible. The school is haunted by sentient ghosts (like Nearly Headless Nick) who are basically floating refutations of the Christian afterlife. The most feared creatures in that universe are Dementors, robed beings that can suck out your soul before God or Satan ever get to it.
And in this universe, most of the miracles Jesus was supposed to have accomplished only by the grace of God could be performed by a 12-year-old with a wand and a copy of The Standard Book of Spells.
"Fishes multiplicare!"
Hell, according to the Harry Potter books, even resurrection is possible, and that's supposed to be a trick limited to Jesus only (and his close pal, that one time). Oh, and there's a magical stone that will grant you eternal life.
Therefore, anyone who both knows about magic and believes in the Bible is in for a huge theological dilemma: Can you continue having faith in God if it turns out He was wrong about a lot of stuff? This would be a huge blow to anyone's beliefs, but the books/movies never touch on the subject.
"And risk these sales?"
Now, in the Harry Potter world, most normal people don't know about wizards, but a lot of them do, including some important political figures, like Britain's prime minister. Many others witness magic firsthand when their seemingly normal kids start developing powers.
"I have to admit, I'm going through a mild existential crisis right now."
So maybe all those zealots who were convinced Harry Potter was anti-religion had a point after all (although not in the way they thought).
#4. Star Wars -- The Droids Are Being Oppressed
Star Wars is one of those stories where there's absolutely no challenge telling the good guys apart from the bad guys: The Rebels are good because they're trying to liberate the galaxy from tyranny, and the Empire is evil because they shoot planets and dress in black and stuff. However, for all their talk of freedom, even the Rebels are guilty of one enormous crime that nobody seems to care about: the oppression of an entire noble race of mechanical people.
These guys.
The Star Wars movies alternate between showing droids as beings that are capable of real friendship and emotion and disposable objects that get sent on suicide missions or traded for scrap. For example, as the epic 70-minute YouTube review of The Phantom Menace points out, one second Obi-Wan is emotionlessly watching droids being shot to shit on a screen ...
... and 10 minutes later the queen is personally thanking R2-D2 for being a hero who put himself in danger to save the crew. If droids aren't sentient beings, why would anyone bother thanking them for anything?
"What? No, I thought it was a real dude named Artoo! What's wrong with you?!"
That's like giving a medal to a rifle, or, like, some oddly shaped trash can that an enemy soldier tripped over. For that matter, why would they include R2 and C-3PO at the ceremony at the end of the first Star Wars? They should be in a closet at that point.
In other instances, R2-D2 demonstrated loyalty, courage and even inventiveness (like when he outwitted those two other droids and set them on fire). Meanwhile, it's been established that C-3PO is capable of feeling basic emotions like pride, terror and even grief -- in Return of the Jedi, when R2-D2 is shot by a Stormtrooper, he laments, "Oh, R2, why did you have to be so brave?" Though R2 is definitely braver, both seem averse to physical harm, suggesting that they actually feel pain.
"BEEP BEEP BOOP BE -- oh shit, that actually hurt! Motherf-!"
Presumably all droids (or at least the ones that look like R2 and C-3PO) have minds that are just as humanlike, and yet people are routinely wiping their memories. That's the first thing Luke's uncle Owen tells him to do with the droids in the first Star Wars, and Luke doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with the equivalent of brainwashing a human (his protests are more along the lines of "farming is lame!").
Of course, C-3PO had already been lobotomized before, at the end of Revenge of the Sith, when Leia's adoptive father casually instructs the dad of another minor original trilogy character to delete all trace of the droid's hopes, fears and personality.
"We can't have any awkwardly placed throwbacks to the original trilogy here, no sir."
The most likely explanation here is that the humans know droids are people, too -- they just don't give a shit (even though some of them have robot parts and all). And that's what we in this world call "slavery."
#3. Dr. No -- James Bond Single-Handedly Turns the Caribbean into a Nuclear Wasteland
In James Bond movies, it's accepted that the end justifies the means -- we're fine with Bond killing supervillains' workers, lab technicians and janitors left and right because he needs to fulfill his mission at all costs, and also those guys are dicks. The end of Dr. No, however, is one of those times when he might have gone a little overboard.
Just a little bit.
As part of a plan to sabotage U.S. missile and space launches, the evil terrorist organization SPECTRE employs atomic poindexter Dr. No to build a nuclear-powered toppling ray on the Caribbean island of Crab Key, near Jamaica. Bond successfully dicks up these plans by forcing the island's atomic reactor into a catastrophic overload, resulting in Dr. No's ironic demise ...
"NOOOOOOOOO -- oh, haha, I see what you did there, Ian Fleming."
... while Bond and the sexy companion he acquired at some point triumphantly run from the resulting explosion, presumably (definitely) to have sex behind the nearest shrub.
But shockingly, causing a nuclear explosion in the middle of the Caribbean isn't as harmless as the movie depicts it -- let's just say that by now, instead of being known for their reggae music and dreadlocks, Jamaica would be famous as the land of impoverished five-eyed babies.
Let's look at what was in Dr. No's lair (since Bond obviously didn't): a pool-type reactor from this era should have around 56 kilograms of uranium. Considering that Dr. No was running an entire island out there, including a bauxite mine, a million-dollar aquarium and a goddamn rocket toppling ray, it would be safe to assume that he was using at least three times the normal amount of radioactive material -- so that's 168 kilograms (370 pounds) of uranium blown into the Caribbean sky.
That's nowhere near as bad as Chernobyl, but that's not saying a whole lot. If we take a fallout map of the Chernobyl disaster, adjust it to the scale of this explosion based on what we know and superimpose it on a Google Maps image of the Caribbean, it would look like this:
"Hey, Bond, CIA here. While you're at it, do you mind helping us with a little problem down here? It's called Cuba."
See that patch of land under the lower red cloud? That's the entirety of Jamaica. The city of Kingston and its more than half a million laid-back citizens would receive the brunt of the radioactive fallout, making the city uninhabitable for a century. Not that anyone would be coming back: A quarter of the country's jobs and a good chunk of its earnings come from tourism, and nobody wants a Jamaican glow that actually glows.
Depending on prevailing winds, large swaths of Cuba and Haiti (and Bond himself) could have been fatally irradiated ... simply because Bond wanted to make a cool exit.
"This would make a great story for my grandchildren, if I wasn't sterile just from standing here."

Molly Williams was the first recorded woman firefighter in the country. Williams worked as a cook in the Oceanus Engine Company firehouse in 1815. She was a slave owned by a New York merchant and was known for years as Volunteer Number 11 at the firehouse. She did back breaking work, showing as much strength and dedication of the men in the bucket brigades.
Williams left a legacy during the blizzard of 1818. When most of the men were down with influenza, Williams the cook was using her own weight to pull the pumper to the fires through the heavy blizzard then filling it with water by the bucket. She would be seen putting out fires in her calico dress and checked apron.
The story of Molly Williams is told in a children's book called "Molly, By Golly!" by Dianne Ochiltree. Her heroics are also mentioned at the African American Firefighters Museum in Los Angeles.

I have a landing page in which I need to understand what keywords are coming in from AdWords and then display some information based on this. I am not certain, but I don't believe that this information is in the request header the same as normal query keywords would be. How can you ascertain this information and properly strip out the inbound AdWords keywords so as to use meaningfully?
If by keywords, you mean what the user searched for, that's possible.
Look at the HTTP_REFERRER header and for the q=string bit.
e.g. This is one of the adwords links in our adwords http://www.google.co.uk/aclk?sa=l&ai=CSh_Wsj58ULfSG6eQ0wX2lYGoCeeOl-oC58Cl-Drf1IC_TggAEAMguVQoA1CKi6VhYLu-roPQCqAB4feK9wPIAQGpApKunRBI7ro-qgQoT9ChS2VRrwOYoAh7INk0o-weepWecQHgrRXsbAAywxiTq8S-Q2z3EoAFkE4&sig=AOD64_13QvYMRHa0MIhPoLtM_hiFL9X-Mg&ved=0CC8Q0Qw&adurl=http://vzaar.com/landing/trial%3Fpartner%3Dadwords_Business-Video-UK&rct=j&q=online+video+hosting
You can see the the &q=.... parameter which comes across in the referrer header. If you extract that from the header you can work out what the search query keywords are.
(You can see it in the referral header here - http://i.stack.imgur.com/vLERe.jpg )
If the person has instant search on you wont get the keyword, the parameter q= shows up for static searches. In your Analytics go to Traffic Sources - Sources - Search - Organic you'll see in the keywords column
To track the keywords you can try adding keyword insertion into your target URL so when they click the Ad it'll be stored in Analytics as part of the landing pages URL
Similar to tagging your URL's only with this you'll add the keyword they searched to the URL so you have a record of it.
Here's two example searches one with instant search on one off
Instant Search on has no q= parameter at the end
Instant search off contains q=loan at the end

I have a list which has two fields. (Title,EditPermission). The EditPermission is "people and group" field. I can use the following code to compare the current user with the spuser in that field
var cName = _currentUser.get_title();
var admins = currentItem.get_item('Admins');
for (var ii = 0; ii < admins.length; ii++) {
var admin = admins[ii].get_lookupValue();
if (admin == cName) {
return true;
What I need here is suggestion to get the spgroup info while traversing and then see if user exists inside it or not.
Another point, Is there any better way to do it, like may be using CAMl query? that will result the list rows that has "Me" in "EditPermission" column.

I'm looking for updated (2070) background information about the ADL (Alianz Deutscher Länder, aka whats left of former Germany and its surroundings), I think it's called AGS (Allied German States) in the English version.
I'm especially interested in Hamburg and the Meta-Human states. Everything from official sourcebooks to supplements and unofficial info (fan made) would be interesting, even recent Novells or stories.
I'm trying to prepare for a smuggler setting, with lot's of north sea pirating and land runs all over the AGS (the setting is kinda vehicle and anti-surveillance equipment heavy and focuses more on contraband handling than classic shadowrunning). I'm looking primarily for informations about locations, places and neighborhoods and everything else that helps creating a surrounding for the harbors, trade post and smuggling routes.

I'm a new user of Tex and I'm facing a problem related to a very simple situation.
I'm currently working on a TeX (TeXLive, no LaTeX is used) generator. This generator builds TeX files containing generated tables, based on a simple model. Here a table is a set of
\hbox, with
\vtop for each column.
The problem arises when the tables have to contain a big content in one "cell", bigger than the size of one page, therefore overflowing a
\vtop, with printed text going down and nowhere outside the page...
So I was wondering whether it is possible or not to insert page breaks inside a given vtop (column) in order to put the remaining content on the next page, without creating a new
\hbox{\vtop{}} element (a new line of the table).
I hope I was clear in my description.

This Week's Best Dressed Star: Ali Larter Makes a Beyoncé Sandwich
Her love may be on top, but unfortunately for Beyoncé, her ensemble on this week's 10 Most Loved Looks list is not. That honor belongs to Ali Larter, who turned our world upside down by proving that the impossible feat of outshining Queen Bey is in fact, possible (gasp!).
PHOTOS: Vote on more star looks in Last Night's Look!
The blonde bombshell nabbed the number one spot in a flowy red chiffon spaghetti strap dress that she belted at the waist and paired with snakeskin ankle strap heels and a coordinating snakeskin clutch at the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival. The actress's classic red dress garnered nearly 26,000 votes, packing enough of a punch to beat out the superstar songstress's body-hugging black dress with cut-out panels along the sides that she complimented with a whole lot of Lorraine Schwartz bling and sky-high platform heels at a post-VMAs party (earning 21,000+ votes).
Trailing close behind Beyoncè's number two spot is Ali Larter again (how greedy!), earning over 21,000 "Love it" votes in a strapless Marchesa floral-print peplum dress that she wore to a party celbrating the release of her cookbook Kitchen Revelry in West Hollywood.
Rounding out the top five is Milla Jovovich's black tweed mini and open-toe booties combo alongside Jordana Brewster wearing a silky white tank above a graphic-printed skirt and ankle-strap sandals.
Tell us: What do you think? Did Ali deserve the title of best dressed star? Or was someone else your favorite?

Is it possible to remove the username field from the registration page?
I want the users to enter only their email and password.
A new user should be created based on these two parameters only.
Is that possible and if so, how?
Is it possible to remove the username field from the registration page?
I want the users to enter only their email and password.
Is that possible and if so, how?
Absolutely YES, you can achieve this.
Rule 1: WordPress requires a username. We must provide a username.
Rule 2: Don't edit WordPress core code.
We can achieve this by hiding username field, get email and store it as username.
Step-1: Remove Username textfield
Step-2: Remove Username error
Step-3: Manipulate Background Registration Functionality.
Put above code in your theme's functions.php file.
You can read complete description in reference link below.
Ref: http://www.thebinary.in/blog/remove-username-from-wordpress-registration/
You can also download a complete plugin to achieve this.
@Nishant Kumar gave the perfect and should-be-accepted answer to this question. However there is a glitch after the Wordpress 4.0 version released. From codex-
Note: As @mcnesium mentioned, if we completely got rid of the username field (in my case I used Theme my login plugin to override the regular registration form and there I just removed the username field) then
Step 3 in the post of Nishant Kumars post checks if
My solution is as follows (in the theme's functions.php), also as a separate function, to stay with the wordpress code style:
I think any solution to this request is going to be a 'hack' as wordpress requires that there be a username for all registered users. Even the plugin mentioned above is most likely just finding the username via the email address, and then using that username to login to the site.
If you are okay with a hack, here is a concept that could work:
1) Pre-populate the username field in your registration form with a unique number, using the current timestamp is a good idea to avoid ever getting any duplicates. You would then hide this field so that the user does not see it on the screen when filling out their form.
If you are using jQuery you could use something like:
In this example, 'form input.username' would be the jQuery selector to find the username field, you will need to check the html structure on your page to make sure the selector matches the structure.
2) Use a plugin like the one mentioned earlier (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-email-login/) to allow users to login with their email address.

I am trying to calculate the average distance between all vertices of a complete $k$-ary tree. A complete $k$-ary tree is a tree such that all vertices have $k$ children except for the leafs of the tree.
Suppose the tree has $r$ levels, where level 0 is the root. So the height of the tree is $r-1$. First i have to know how many vertices there are in the tree. For this i would sum up the vertices on each level of the tree which would give me
$\sum_{i=1}^{r}k^i = k^1 + k^2 + ...+ k^r$
(is there an easier way of representing this?)
Now how many ways are there to choose paths in this tree that are of length $1, 2, 3, ..., r-1, ..., 2(r-1)$
$2(r-1)$ because we can start from on leaf and go all the way up to the root and all the way down again to a vertex that is on a different branch that the initial vertex.
I am not sure how to count all these. For length 1 i can easily count those (i think): $r-1 * \sum_{i=i}^{r}k^i$
But level two is a little trickier because you can go up two parents or go up one parent and down to the child on the same level as the initial vertex.
One i figure out the total distance between all vertices i have to divide it by the total number of vertices to get the average, correct?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think I got across what I was trying to say. What I mean is that the timbre of, for example, the snare or the kick drum can change slightly depending where on the head it's hit. There's a function built into EZ Drummer where it can do the same thing - ToonTrack took multiple samples of each drum so that you can hear minor (if you listen) details and slight differences on each hit, if you enable that function.

Most people consider junk food chips, sweets and fast food. But low and behold, junk food is any food that has a devastating effect on your blood sugars too. In a previous post, I suggested that you consider banning high glycemic carbs from your daily diet. That is no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweets, cereals or juice. Is this girl nuts, you ask? No! But I work in age management during the day and I get to see lots and lots of labs. High GI carbs make you old, they make you fat, and they even make you sluggish.
Who in the world wants to walk into a high energy Spin(R) class and feel sluggish? Who in the world wants to look and feel 10 years older than they are? Certainly not me, especially if I know that we will be pushing our anaerobic threshold the whole class. So, the best thing to do is this; According to tool #73 in Breaking the Chains of Obesity, 107 Tools, you should Stock your Kitchen with Foods you Don't Crave.
I went to my client's house tonight and learned that all he had eaten were 2 hard boiled eggs, toast, and a corn on the cob. Here is a 5/10 man at 262 lbs who was ready to dive into a pasta dish at 9pm when I left after his session. This man is a recovering cancer patient, morbidly obese and is suffering from metabolic syndrome. His entire pantry contains bread, pasta, different bags of rice, lots of beans (which 1/2 cup isn't bad, but more is calorically dense) and fatty cut meats. It's only a matter of time before this man leaves this land.
Here are some alternatives I left him with:
- Instead of bread in the AM with his eggs, he will eat fruit
- Instead of rice, he will eat 1/2 cup of beans with lots of assorted veggies and a protein
- Instead of pasta, he will eat spaghetti squash with lean bison meat and marinara sauce
- Instead of bologna, he will eat 2 slices of prosciutto and find a nitrate free lean cold cut pending for "JZ" approval (that's me by the way! LOL).
So, how does this pertain to you? Healthy aging begins now. Just as the financial planners say to start saving for retirement now so that you have money later on in life, I say to start observing and respecting your health today so that you can age gracefully for later and have your health. Disease can be avoided with proper nutrition. Get Breaking the Chains of Obesity, 107 Tools to help guide you in your journey to healthy aging and optimal living! Stock your kitchen with foods you don't crave!
To your health!
