Cycleicious pointed me to this story about a "bike crusader" in Williamsburg, NY. I guess, at least he isn't trying to hit them with his car.
A longtime neighborhood resident has gotten so frustrated by sidewalks packed with parked bicycles that he has actually begun injecting Krazy Glue into locks as a form of vigilante injustice.
The renegade — whose name has been concealed because of the sensitive nature of this story — has committed the crime a few times, but told us last week that there are plans to broaden the sticky situation.

Given a zeta function $\zeta_K$ of some number field $K$ how much information will this give us about $K$? Specifically, if two number fields have the same zeta function, what shared properties are they known to have? Is there a way to construct distinct number fields that have the same zeta function?
All constructions of pairs of arithmetically equivalent number fields arise in the following way: start with a Galois extension $F/M$ with Galois group $G$, let $H$, $H'$ be two subgroups that give rise to isomorphic permutation representations $\mathbb{C}[G/H]\cong \mathbb{C}[G/H']$. Then, the fixed fields $K=F^H$ and $K'=F^{H'}$ will have the same zeta function. If $H$ and $H'$ are conjugate, then the fields $K$ and $K'$ are in fact isomorphic, so they share almost all the interesting properties. But otherwise you get non-isomorphic fields.
They will always have the same number of real and complex embeddings, the same discriminant and the same number of roots of unity. Also, the product $h(K)R(K)$ will be the same, where $h$ is the class number and $R$ is the regulator. However each of the terms by itself need not be the same, as shown in numerous examples by Bart de Smit. As far as I know, it is still an open problem whether the $p$-part of the class numbers can differ for arbitrary $p$. There is no reason whatsoever to doubt that it can, and de Smit has proposed a general construction (i.e. suitable $G$, $H$, $H'$) that should work for any $p$, and that is in fact the smallest group that has any hope of producing arithmetically equivalent fields with different $h_p$, but it has not been proven that it always does. For small $p$ the proof goes by producing lots of Galois extensions with a suitable $G$, using a computer algebra package, until one finds one that happens to give $K$ and $K'$ with different $p$-parts of class numbers.
In a similar direction as above, the torsion of the odd-numbered $K$-groups of the rings of integers is always the same for arithmetically equivalent fields. Also, the quotient $$\frac{|K_{2n}(\mathcal{O}_K)|\cdot R_n(\mathcal{O}_K)}{|K_{2n}(\mathcal{O}_{K'})|\cdot R_n(\mathcal{O}_{K'})}$$ is a power of 2 (probably trivial, but this is not known), where $R_n$ is the higher Borel regulator. Again, there is no reason to expect the single terms to be equal, but to give concrete examples is probably computationally out of reach at the moment.
Coming very late to the party, here is a small complement to Alex's excellent answer. There is a recent paper of Marcolli and Cornelissen (arXiv link) which among other things discusses this question. The following two points give partial answers to the question posed here:
The introduction of the paper actually gives a rather good overview over criteria which can or cannot determine whether two number fields are isomorphic.

Starbucks- $10 bonus with card Auto-Reload for $25
Get $10 when auto-reloading your Starbucks Card on your phone with a Visa card.
That's right: Set your Starbucks Card to auto-reload, on your Visa® card and Starbucks app, for at least $25, and we'll give you an extra $10 once you've reloaded.
This offer ends August 24, 2012.
42 Comments add a comment
I almost tattled on this deal as I though it was a duplicate but now I see the other deal is a $5 credit for a $20 reload. Although this deal was mentioned in the comments
Better deal here in my opinion. Thanks for posting.
@jimmyd103: yeah... i saw the $5 deal and decided to 1up it...
super mario style! :D
How does this have so few upvotes compared to the 5 for 20, this is such a better deal.
@jimmyd103: Me too! I had to double check. This is even better! :)
@barts185: Well that deal was posted 17 hours ago..... So give this one some time.
damn, two deals with visa zero deals with mastercard. no fun for me :(
My android isn't letting me configure auto reload settings.
I think the difference is that you have to set up auto-reload for the $10 versus just reloading your card for $5? I assume the auto-reload means it will just charge your Visa when you reach a certain balance.
@jtaclas: I am having the same problem. Get all the way to the end, enter password final time and get error message that settings were not saved. Guess they don't want my money.
bummer. only valid for new auto-load setup only. i already have auto-load so apparently I am not eligible!
Great deal!
It appears, that it is possible, that this was the 300,000 deal posted in the deals woot community.
@fmagic: Can you disable the auto reload and then set up the auto reload for the bonus?
Got it! Just a heads up that the bonus will not show on your card until sometime during the week of August 27th.
fmagic, maybe if you used another card?
When I scanned quickly across this in nthe list of deals, I thought it was saying $10 worth of Starbucks credit for $25, lol.
I'm not a coffee drinker at all, so I've never even been in a Starbucks.
I have become addicted to Burger King's Coke Icee though : )
Is this only for iphone? Or does it work for android too. Android has SB app...
Per the Starbucks Website...
*To be eligible for the $10 offer, you must (i) be a new Auto-reload customer, (ii) sign up for Auto-reload using a valid Visa Card on your Starbucks mobile application by 11:59 p.m. PST on August 24, 2012 and (iii) complete at least one Auto-reload transaction for a minimum of $25 by 11:59 p.m. PST on September 24, 2012. Bonus load will be applied to the reloaded Starbucks Card within 10 business days of your first completed Auto-reload transaction. Only one $10 bonus load per Visa account allowed. Limited time offer.
I'm not a Starbucks fan, so maybe this is better than it looks. But I don't like the idea of giving anyone the ability to automatically charge my credit card for anything, certainly not for $10 (that's what, about 4 ounces of Starbucks product?). I'd be much more likely to just use the Visa card at Starbucks.
I signed up, it auto-loaded my card with $25 dollars after a few hours of having no balance; no extra $10.
@shadowknight125: Okay, first question, have 10 days passed since the auto load?
ahhh, now I see the fine print...
*To be eligible for the $10 offer, you must (i) be a new Auto-reload customer, (ii) sign up for Auto-reload using a valid Visa Card on your Starbucks mobile application by 11:59 p.m. PST on August 24, 2012 and (iii) complete at least one Auto-reload transaction for a minimum of $25 by 11:59 p.m. PST on September 24, 2012.

@wvutkep1002: I have a Visa card I keep around, but I usually prefer my Mastercard... guess that Visa card is gonna see some action now.
@dsorgnzd: I keep close tabs on my statements- I like to identify my transactions, and I would report things that look out of the ordinary. Your prudence is not unwarranted, in fact it's a rather smart approach, but in this day and age where your personal information is more available than not to the dedicated hacker, I don't usually have a problem with things like connecting a credit card to my own account. (Granted, I only use cards that have a low limit, and I do check these things almost always- at LEAST once a week if I forget every couple days.) I do like the ability to have them ask me to confirm before a reload, though, and I've never had one of these, so I don't know if that's a feature.
@kneelbeforezod: I'm also curious about this. It shows an Iphone and only has the legal-ese for the Iphone Appstore at the bottom, so before I pull the trigger on this I'd like to know for sure this counts with the Android app version as well.
Does anyone know if you can use a Visa Debit card for this? I try never to use any of my credit cards anymore as I'm doing an excellent job paying them all off.
@nadine624: Yes you can use a Visa debit card...
Update: My issues with setting up auto reload via the android app have been resolved with today's update to said app.
@jtaclas: I just updated my Starbucks app :)
@dsorgnzd: signing up for a Starbucks card will get you a free drink on your birthday though ;)
How do you set auto-reload with the current Android app? I haven't found a way to do it yet.
I am pretty sure I remember seeing it in the previous version.
bzzt, nevermind, just found a new update for it, and it lists '- multiple bug fixes'
I bet that fixes it!
And it does.
Didn't work right. Set up autoload in my wife's Starbucks card. It autoloaded and only gave us $5.
I've having a problem with the auto reload. When I get to the auto reload screen, the "continue" button pretty much disappears and I'm unable to submit my info and I can't scroll. Please help.
@dawnbat: what phone? on my Android I had to update the app to get it to work. I set auto-reload for 25 at 5 or the lowest and it did it right away.
Anybody get this credit yet? It says within 10 business days of the reload, so I'm wondering if anybody has seen it happen yet. It will have been 10 business days for me on Friday, but as I was looking into my difficulties setting up autoloading in the android app, I set up an autopay through my computer, so I may have disqualified myself as a "first time" autoload customer. Granted no auto load occurred until I set the proper load amount and threshold in android, but I'm going to wait and see here. I'm also hoping to see the $5 credit from the other offer this week. Treat reciepts end on monday.
I haven't seen the credit yet either. :-(
I did mine via the iphone app and I see the $25 starbucks card, just no additional credit.
Maybe it means the first time it actually reloads it and not the first time it was loaded during set up?
I never got my credit either. However, I emailed customer service and they added the $10 the next day. So that's an option for those that didn't get the credit automatically.
@jtaclas: Yup, I never got it. I had never signed up for reload either online or on my phone, so I'm pretty bummed out. I guess I will email customer service if I can find a way to do it!
I never got mine either. After the 10 business days I filled out a form on their customer service page (http://www.starbucks.com/customer-service/contact/starbucks-card-form) about it and got a response emailed to me a couple days later. The email said they were unable to provide an ideal response over the phone, and gave a reference number. So I called in and the rep checked to make sure the auto-reload was done by 8/24 and that the credit hadn't already been given and then applied it over the phone. Glad I got the $10, but after making sure I followed all the requirements, it's kind of annoying to not have it work automatically.
Still no bonus here either. :(
I registered as described, and spent $25 twice (the second reload being triggered accidentally after I bought a pound of coffee). Just filled out the CS form and will report back when I hear something.
I'll fill out the form for both the $5 and $10 deals, haven't gotten either yet...I did both of them before the 24th. Went out of my way to use the first deal up to cause the auto-reload. I'll report back on them. Thanks for posting the link @mevirtually !
Customer Service Update #1: Received a reply after submitting an inquiry to CS via the link above. They acknowledged that I had added the auto-reload, however then went on to state that it was a "targeted promotion", and that only persons who received it in an email were eligible. I quickly replied and pointed out that no where in the T&C's does it state anything affirming that claim. Only that you had to be first time auto-reloader and use a Visa.
Will update when I hear back.
Customer Service Update #2: I received another reply this afternoon from a different CS rep which acknowledged that there was nothing in the T&C that stated it was a targeted promo, and offered nothing more than an apology. Since it was a different rep than last time, I replied again asking for final clarification that I am not going to receive the bonus even though I qualified per their own T&C's.
Total crapola.

Say a player casts a card that returns a permanent to the top of owner's library, for example Banishment Decree, and the targeted creature card he chooses has two Auras enchanting it. Where do the Aura enchantments go, to the players hand, graveyard or library?

It goes to the graveyard.
You seem to be under the misconception that Auras follow the permanent to which they are attached to the graveyard. That's not the case. It's just a coincidence that both end up in the same place.
When an object changes zone (e.g. goes from the battlefield to the graveyard), it becomes a brand new object. The original object ceases to exist, and a new one is created in the new zone.
No matter whether the enchanted permanent goes to the graveyard or to the player's library, the object the Aura was enchanting has ceased to exist. The game doesn't tolerate that since Auras are suppose to enchant something, so it sends the Aura to the graveyard.
If it was an Equipment or Fortification instead, it would remain on the battlefield unattached.
Assuming when you say 'Enchantment' you specifically mean 'Aura', they are sent to the graveyard.
Bold is mine.
Some popular cards, like Rancor and Angelic Destiny, may appear to violate this rule. There are a number of cards that have triggers that will pop the Aura out of the graveyard and send it to your hand. Many players will take the shortcut of simply taking the card from the battlefield to their hand instead of taking the intermediate step of putting it in the graveyard. If there's any confusion about such a short cut, make sure to ask your opponent or call a judge, because you do have an opportunity to respond before the trigger resolves while the card is still in the graveyard.
Also, if you were referring to another enchantment type you'll have to clarify. As far as I'm aware, only Auras can attach to creatures and other permanents.
If an object ceases to exist, and creatures can only exist on the battlefield, any Auras attached to the creature are placed in their owner's graveyard as a state-based action.

Great Racing In Front Of Packed House For Fan Appreciation Night At Sunset
By Ben Deatherage

Sunset Speedway Park would have a full pit area and packed grandstands as they would host their annual Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday June 21st. Classes on the card included the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Northwest Extreme Modifieds, Pure Stocks, Dwarf Cars, 4-Bee's and the Womens division.
In the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series main event John Gamell of Brush Prairie, Washington set a rapid pace. Gamell, in his second season of racing, would keep his Qwikline Industrial Products/Food Xpress Inc./A&B Graphics #88 MasterSbilt out in front until getting passed on lap twenty-one with just nine laps to go.
The car that would pass him would be Greg Walters of Banks. Walters, who started in the back and even missed qualifying, completed the rest of the race as the leader to become the first multi-feature winner with the series in 2014. It also mark the twenty-fourth series victory for the T&G Trucking/Warpaint Motorsports Graphix/American Landscaping/Duncan Automotive #97 Victory Circle entry and the fourteenth trip to victory lane at SSP.
Brad Martin of Warren was second in the Reser's Fine Foods/Wayne Martin Floor Covering/Competitive Edge Sign & Design #99 MasterSbilt while third was John Gamell. The Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Klecker Knives/Applebee Aviation #8 entry of Rob Ireland from Banks was fourth and Bob Trout, also from Banks, would complete the top five in fifth driving the Mechanical Systems Inc./Greenway Construction #28 Victory Circle.
Starting in the back of the field of the IMCA Modified feature and seizing the lead on lap twenty-three late in the race would be Doug Lockwood from Aloha after then leader Robert Jenner would experience some motor problems. Vancouver, Washington's Don Jenner, in the Tom's Performance/Dancin' Bare/Eric's Frame Shop #6X Dirt Works, would set the pace early before being passed by the Extreme Auto Repair/Dancin' Bare/Tony's Auto Parts/Eric's Auto Parts #5R Shaw of Matt Jenner, also from Vancouver, Washington, on lap thirteen. Lockwood would retain the lead for the final laps of the caution free main event to win his second victory of the season for the Aloha Station Tavern/Perfection Automotive/Ross Electric/Curtis Trailers #66 Shaw.
Robert Jenner would hold on and cross the wire in second followed by the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Klecker Knives/Applebee Aviation #8 Dirt Works by Jerry Hoffman machine driven by Rob Ireland in third. The rest of the top five would consist of Don Jenner in fourth and Jeremy Martin of Warren chauffeuring his Reser's Fine Foods/Wayne Martin Flooring #99 McCoy was fifth.
In Street Stock action Freya Smith was the car to beat for much of the race. Freya, from McMinnville, seized the lead in her Sweere's Auto Body/Sweere's Trucking/Tire Factory of McMinnville #37 Camaro after Brian Roden of West Linn would spin on lap twelve. Smith would stay out in front but would get passed by Banks native John Ireland Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Transaction Transmissions/Applebee Aviation #88 Monte Carlo on lap twenty-one. Ireland would hold on to the lead for the rest of the way to win his third win of the season.
Danny O'Neil Jr. out of Vancouver, Washington was second in his Eric's Frame Shop/All-American Classics/Sign Of The Times/Tom's Performance #96 Monte Carlo while behind him was Brian Roden, recovering from an early race spin, in third in the JNR Construction/Molecular Motion Inc./Dockweiler Stainless Steel Tube Systems #14 Camaro. Fourth place would go to Tony Catalano of Forest Grove in the Catalano Racing #19 Monte Carlo followed by Freya Smith in fifth.
St. Helens driver Brandon Potter, in the Hope House/Ri Ky Roofing and Sheetmetal #11 Pro, was the entry to beat in the Northwest Extreme Modified ranks. Potter, looking for his second straight victory, looked to be on his way to the winner's circle yet again until Oscar Luckman made a move on lap twenty. Luckman, from Hillsboro, would complete the distance as the leader to win his third main event of 2014 in his Privateer Racing #96 Dirt Works by Jerry Hoffman.
Brandon Potter would end the night in second while the Dancin Bare/T&D Tires and Wheels #31 entry of Tony Hendon was third. Vancouver, Washington's Chris Ray, in the Diamond Excavating #6 machine, was fourth followed by Michael Melton, also from Vancouver, Washington, in fifth in the Melton Racing #04 Dirt Works
In the Pure Stocks the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing #01 Laguna of Banks' Paul Ireland would lead early but would get passed on lap four. The driver making the move was Ken Shauve driving his Creekside Mortgage #05 Nova. Once seizing the top spot Shauve would check out to become the second different feature winner in the class.
Forest Grove's Kendall Lee in his Lee Racing #66 Camaro was second while Phillip Johnson of Gresham in the Jackhammer Trucking/T&G Trucking #79 machine was third. Yamhill pilot Terry Houck was fourth in the Luttrell's Trucking/Trask Mountain Outpost/Sweere's Trucking/Happy Hut #58 Camaro and completing the top five was the Pure Addiction Diesel Performance/S&R Motorz/Courtesy Auto Body #7 Camaro of Forest Grove native Trevor LaBarge.
In Dwarf Cars the PSP Powdercoating/Finish Line Technology/Shake and Bake Racing #8 M&M of Chris McCleary was the car to beat. McCleary, hailing from St. Helens, led the entire distance to become the third different feature winner in the Dwarf Car division.
Guy Tow Jr. from Castle Rock, Washington was second in the Two Guys Racing/Fusion Grahpix/Hicks Family Racing #37 Ebeling and behind him in third would be the Auto Truck Wholesale/Van Raden Industries/St. John's Tire Factory #9 M&M of Portland's Ryan Martinez. The driver to finish fourth was the MAPS Auto Center of Scappoose/Finish Line Technologies #2 Hot Rod of James Brinster from St. Helens and in fifth was The Wright Shop/Hicks Family Racing/B-Rad Motorsports #77 B-Rad of Creswell's Brad Hicks.
In the 4-Bee's Gary "Captain Turnabout" Jones, from Vancouver, Washington, would seize the initial lead in his All Chained Up/Validus Consulting/Hollow Flesh Tattoo #7 Pontiac Sunfire. John Gartner would get around Jones in the Gartner Racing/Ram Light Truck/ACE Car Detailing/Foot Print Designs #48 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Looking for his third win of the year Gartner, of Portland, would surrender the lead on lap fourteen. Travis Koch of Vancouver, Washington would be the new race leader and built a large lead in his North's Plumbing/Dusty's Automotive/Mac Tools #21 Dodge Neon to win his second feature of the year,
John Gartner would finish in the runner-up position followed by the Sweere's Trucking #38 Dodge Neon of Chris Bataglia from Forest Grove was third. The Gary Meyer owned Meyer Auto Body/Transaction Transmissions/Champion Signs #26 Dodge Neon driven by Stan Asanovic from Gaston was fourth and rounding up the top five in fifth was the Mark's Towing and Transport #82 Dodge Neon of Troutdale's Bo Jones.
Last but not least in the Womens division Marcie Treat of Cornelius was ultra-quick. Treat seemed to have the race won but would spin her Barebones Racing/DVC Machine/Dave's Automotive/Transaction Transmissions #02 Camaro on the final lap. That would give Cori Vandercoevring a chance to seize the lead, which she would do, and pick up the win. It would mark the first career triumph for the Hillsboro native in her Jim's Thriftway/Hillsboro Auto Wrecking/Champion Signs/Angels Making a Difference #24 Camaro. Marcie Treat would finish in second followed by Gabrielle Hollinger of Banks in her All-In Property Investments/Duncan Automotive/Avenue Title Company/Jeremy Martin Racing #60 Firebird was third while completing the finishing order in fourth was the McGrotty Racing #23 of Alice McGrotty from Troutdale in fourth.
Sunset Speedway Park will return to racing on Saturday June 28th. Classes competing include the Northwest Wingless Tour, Street Stocks, 4-Bee's, W.R.S. Late Model Lites, and the Micros. For more information be sure and log on to www.sunsetspeedwaypark.com.

I am looking for an animation or even better a video with a real experiment, which shows that at constant flow rate the speed of water in a pipe is higher at narrower parts of a pipe.
I googled for hours but didn't find any material. So if someone knows good animations or videos for this, please let me know!

Must every compact and connected metric space be locally connected at at least one of its points?
There is a "folklore" counterexample. Peter Nyikos gives the construction here (see the last paragraph for the compactness)
One more picture: Brouwer--Janiszewski--Knaster continuum:
In the product of the closet unit interval $I$ with the Cantor set $C$, identify $(0,x)$ and $\big(1,f(x)\big)$ where $f(x):=3x \mod 1$.
The resulting space $X$ is the mapping cylinder of the continuous map $f:C\to C$. It is a compact metric space locally homeomorphic to $]0,1[\times C\, ,$ thus not locally connected at any point. End-points of $I$ have not a special role; we may equivalently obtain $X$ with a larger quotient, $(\mathbb{R}\times C) / \{ (t,x)=\big (t+1,f(x)\big) \} $. The important feature of the map $f:C\to C$ is that it has a dense orbit $f^n( x_0)$. This is easily seen as it is conjugate to the left-shift map on binary strings on the space ${\bf 2}^\mathbb{N}$, $(c_1,c_2,\dots)\mapsto(c_2,c_3,\dots)$ which is just how we see $f$ on the 2-digits representations of points of the Cantor set. As a consequence, the image of $\mathbb{R}\times \{x_0\}$ in the latter quotient is a path-connected dense subset of $X$, which is therefore connected.
edit. Actually, such spaces are quite common in dynamical systems; an other example is the Smale-Williams Solenoid and several strange attractors.
The two examples given so far do not contain an illustration of the set. So here is one drawn with a "Cantor-pen":
No, examples abound, e.g., the $\sin\frac1x$-curve, i.e., the closure of $\lbrace \sin\frac1x : 0 < x \le 1\rbrace$ in the plane. As noted below, this is not a good example (I misread the question).
However, every indecomposable continuum, such as Knaster's bucket-handle continuum, is an example because every proper subcontinuum is nowhere dense. The pseudo-arc is, of course the ultimate example.

They used to get guys because they're an easy peice of ass, but nobody wants the loose, dirty hos anymore.

The laws of physics have often been taken to be objective statements about reality, but are they? Suppose Bob is a smart computer programmer with access to a super-duper-supercomputer. In it, he simulates a world operating under different laws from that of his own. In that simulation emerges a super-duper-smart scientist Alice. Alice deduces the laws governing her simulation not realizing it is a simulation and calls them the laws of physics. What Bob calls the laws of physics is something else entirely. Without an ontological commitment to wild metaphysical speculations, Alice will have to conclude what she deduced to be the laws of physics, almost certainly have to be the laws of physics for her.
According to some ontological speculations, the shortest description which fits observational data is the actual ontological reality. Certainly a law like Schmidhuber's computer program which multitasks over all possible programs, one of which simulates our universe, will have a shorter description than a program which only describes the laws of physics of our universe? By this "kolmogorov" ontology, wouldn't Schmidhuber's program be more likely to be ontologically real as the laws of physics? If there is some measure over observers, it would also means the laws of physics (not the ultimate) will have to be typically generic while giving rise to sentient observers. What about a quantum computer running a quantum superposition of all possible programs, with eventual decoherence between the different programs? That would also have a shorter description.

OIM11g R2: Reconciling a Disconnected System Account
By Shashidhar Malyala on Mar 21, 2013
Reconciliation of disconnected system account is same as reconciling a connected system account. The main difference lies in the source of reconciliation. In case of a connected system, a connection is established with the actual target system and data is pulled to OIM. Where as in case of a disconnected system, the data is made available to OIM using a CSV, Flat File or a database table. Reconciliation on both these types of systems look same in case of initial load. Some implementations make data available externally during initial load for all types of target systems.
In any type of System's reconciliation, including IT Resource attribute among the RO attributes and recon data is mandatory. In case this information(IT Resource in the recon data) is missed in the recon data when submitting reconciliation event, the reconciliation event is created and linked successfully. The status on the recon event shows 'Creation Succeeded'. However, when navigated to the 'Accounts' tab or 'My Access' tab, the resource is not shown. The reconciliation rules are evaluated, the event gets linked, but the resource doesn't appear on the user's resource profile. Yes, you read it correctly.
Also, when another recon event is created for the same account, the event shows 'Update Succeeded' , but again no resource is seen is the user's resource profile.
The code snippet for submitting a simple recon even is here:
| ReconOperationsService reconOp = client.getService(ReconOperationsService.class);
Map<String,Object> roDataMap = new HashMap<String,Object> ();
roDataMap.put("User Name","name");
roDataMap.put("IT Resource","ITR"); - This is most important
try {
EventAttributes ea=new EventAttributes();
long eventKey = reconOp.createReconciliationEvent(RESOURCE_OBJECT, roDataMap , ea);
} catch (Exception e) {

Murray Will Undergo Minor Back Surgery
Andy Murray's tennis season is likely over. The 26-year-old Scot will undergo "minor back surgery" next week, according to a representative.
Murray has suffered from off-and-on back pain for a few years. He skipped this year's French Open to rest his back and then won Wimbledon, something no British man had done in 77 years. This month Murray lost in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, where he was the defending champion. He then played Davis Cup for Great Britain on clay before seeking advice from specialists and deciding to undergo surgery. Murray, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, intends to play a full season in 2014.

NCAA Final Four Likely
To Remain in Stadiums
On Thursday, when the NCAA opened the bidding to host the men's basketball Final Four between 2017 and 2010, it mandated that the competing venues be able to hold a minimum of 60,000 people, all but ensuring that college basketball's national championship will remain in a football stadium instead of returning to an arena setting. "At the end of the day, it was impractical going to a drastically smaller setup," said NCAA vice president Dan Gavitt.

Are there any classes that resemble an occultist of the Lovecraftian mythos, or have such a feeling, except the alienist and the flesh warper? The aberration blood feats are interesting but just give flavor; I am searching for something more solid, a base or prestige class.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The Lovecraftian feel is broader then most people think: You could easily have NPCs with the Dread Pirate PrC involved in your version of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. I also based this on what I could see appearing in Lovecraft's stories, rather then just Mythos type creatures (Thus degenerate humans and such are also fair game, as are charismatic cult leader types, etc). Howard, a good friend of Lovecraft's, also published stories in the same vein, but a bit more hack and slash. I've denoted classes that would work well with his books.
The other idea is to take rules from a class, then rewrite the theme and feeling of it to be more lovecraftian: Example: Bear Warrior instead is embracing his Shoggoth heritage, and becomes more and more unnatural as he goes up in levels.
However here are some which I could think would be useful or lend themselves to Lovecraftian work:
Complete Adventurer:
Complete Arcane:
Complete Divine
Complete Mage
Complete Warrior
Drow of the Underdark (Based only on names)
Heroes of Horror (names again), most of them
Libris Mortis: Pretty much all of them
Lords of Madness: Pretty much all of them
Magic of Incarnum: All of the ones that involve merging Incarum into yourself.
Tome of Magic: All of them, binding dead shades to serve you. Particularly the binder.
Eberron Campaign Setting - Master Inquisitive (for investigators)
Races of Eberron
Champions of Ruin
Player's Guide to Faerûn
Serpent Kingdoms: Pretty much all of them
Of course, the Alienist class from Complete Arcane is specifically designed to be Lovecraftian in nature. They summon pseudonatural creatures. The D&D 3.5e version isn't OGL but here's a Pathfinder conversion that gets the general idea across. There are similar ideas in Gates of Firestorm Peak and the 3.0 Manual of the Planes, and the 2.0 Illithiad.
I'm also currently at a loss for classes that are directly inspired, but there are some things that could work well with a little reflavoring.
I don't think there are any others to be honest. The closest you will get is the Lords of Madness supplemental book.

Many of you know that I've been rescuing and working with dogs for years, and that I love pitties with all my heart.
Now it's my turn to lean on the amazing community of dog- and pittie-lovers to find my beloved foster, Casper, his own forever home. He's my baby boy that I've been working with for the last six months to get him training, socialization, and love after he came out of a difficult home situation last January. I stepped up to take him in after his options were looking scarce, and I've invested a good deal of time and money in training with him over that time in hopes that it will help him find his forever home.
I had hoped to adopt Casper permanently myself after taking him in, but sadly I cannot, so my job becomes Super Foster Mama, with a plea to share him far and wide and get him the home that he really and truly deserves.
He is 2 years old, neutered, and up to date on shots as well as on heartworm preventative. He'll also be microchipped for you before he goes anywhere, as well.
Casper is a lovable handful – a puppy that never got to really be a puppy – with LOTS of energy and a goofy personality. He needs a home that will continue to work with him on training (he's a FAST learner and very smart, food motivated, and willing, but no doubt he's got energy to burn) and I will provide $500 in training for him from a qualified trainer in your area for whoever can truly give him the kind of home he deserves.
I am willing to transport him as well, personally, just about anywhere in the country. (We're located in the Chicago suburbs, but have car and will travel!)
He's crate trained and knows the basics of sit, down, paw, working on stay and "place" taught using positive reinforcement and clicker training. He still needs help with things like impulse/threshold control (OMG DOORBELL AAAAAHHHH), not mouthing when he wants attention or gets excited, and walking nicely on a leash. But seriously, NO ONE does the backyard zoomies like Casper does.
He's good with other dogs with proper introduction, though he plays rough since he never really learned "doggie" rules, so he'll need to learn from patient doggie friends that can continue to show him the ropes. He'll probably chase your kitties (he's chased mine a few times, though not in a predatory way. They still weren't interested.) He's also lived happily and lovingly with my 7-year-old daughter who he follows around like a little white shadow. Heck, he does obedience almost better for her than he does for me!
He can be a smidge timid when he meets a new person, but warms up quickly and has gained a remarkable amount of trust of people while he's been with me after a not-so-great start to his world. And while he's a ball of energy, he can also couch potato with the best of them when he's good and tuckered out. He needs lots of exercise, a big yard to run around in, ways to work his brain and his body to burn off some of that energy. Maybe agility, or frisbees, or something like that? But he has a wonderful temperament in there and it's really starting to shine now that he's been in a loving, patient environment.
I have done nothing but cry at the thought of re-homing him because I adore him so much, but finding a devoted family is the best thing for HIM right now, and that's ultimately what rescue is all about. I have to believe there is *someone* out there that will give him the love, devotion, patience and kindness that I've been willing to give him. I know there are more of me out there.
Friends and community, this is when I need you most. I need you to share this far and wide and leverage the power of the Mighty Internet to find Casper his happily furever after. After we've come this far, I don't want to let him down, and he absolutely deserves the very best that human love can provide.
If you never share another thing I post, please let it be this. Thanks.

Chinese Judges Observe American Law in Action
For roughly four weeks this past summer, Columbia Law School helped advance the international legal education of 30 Chinese judges by way of its newly launched Chinese Judges Legal Training Program.
For many of these judges-turned-students, the month abroad marked their first visit to the United States, and the Law School filled that time with intensive academic study, court visits, and trips to tourist destinations around New York City.
The new initiative, run by the Law School's Office of International Programs, is a voluntary part of the one-year LL.M. curriculum sponsored by the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China at the City University of Hong Kong.
Throughout their visit, the judges took courses in civil procedure, constitutional law, and torts taught by Law School Professors Suzanne Goldberg, Jamal Greene, and Benjamin L. Liebman, respectively. The students also observed proceedings in New York criminal and civil courts and visited the U.S. Supreme Court in
Washington, D.C.
"My court is very lucky to grasp the chance to send me here to get more knowledge and more experience in the American common law system," said Tian Changqi, who has been a maritime court judge in Guangzhou, the capital of China's Guangdong Province, for the past 11 years. Tian said his court often deals with international and common law matters, so his training in the U.S. legal system will prove a valuable asset when he returns home.
For Huang Rui, a judge who has served in Guangxi Province for 10 years, time spent at the Law School offered her some career perspective. "It seems to me that American judges sincerely believe that they're working for the good of their society," she said. "Sometimes we might be concerned more about our own career than our social responsibility. That's what we should learn from U.S. judges: to care more about our responsibility instead of a personal career."

(This news release is being put out in response to media inquiries)
The Broward Sheriff's Office continues to investigate last year's spate of tire damage that so far has resulted in the arrest of one Broward man.
Beginning in early November of 2001, the sidewalls of tires on more than a thousand vehicles were punctured from Palm Beach County to Plantation and many points in-between.
In mid December of last year, BSO deputies arrested 41-year old Charles Ardito of Margate and charged him with puncturing a tire on a pickup truck in Pompano Beach.
On the morning of December 15, 2001, the victim reported seeing the driver of a Yellow Cab get out of his taxi, make a jabbing motion near the victim's pickup truck, then get back in the cab and drive off. When the victim inspected his vehicle moments later, he noticed that one of the tires on the truck was leaking air from a puncture.
Using the cab number, BSO detectives tracked the taxi to Ardito who admitted that he was driving the cab from 5:30 to about 9:30 the morning of the 15th.
Ardito was charged with one misdemeanor count of criminal mischief and released on $25.00 bond. He is one of many leads that that detectives have worked in their on-going investigation into this spree of vandalism.
The Broward Sheriff's Office did not release specifics surrounding Ardito's arrest prior to today in order to protect any sensitive criminal information in this continuing investigation.

There will be a little extra twinkle in communities around the Tri-State Area this week, as parades are held to herald the Christmas season.
Parades offer the opportunity for families and friends to gather and celebrate the season and give communities a chance to really show themselves off. They feature floats, marching bands and dance troupes, and help to make the season special.
Of course, each parade helps to welcome Santa Claus, which helps to keep the holiday magic alive.
The area's Christmas parade season begins at 4 p.m. Friday when Wellsburg holds its annual event on Charles Street.
Weirton's parade will be a night event this year. It is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday and will follow its traditional Main Street route, with a fireworks display to follow.
Frank P. Layman Boulevard in Wintersville, meanwhile, will be the location for the village's annual parade at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Dec. 1 will see parades in Chester beginning at 2 p.m., Wells Township at 3 p.m. and Toronto's traditional night event beginning at 5:30 p.m.
The Eastern Gateway Community College Sights and Sounds and Sounds of Christmas parade will make Steubenville's Fourth Street come to life at noon on Dec. 8. Rich Donnelly, a city native who has had a long career in professional baseball, including a stint as a coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates, will serve as grand marshal.
Also on Dec. 8, the Christmas in Villes parade will take place in Yorkville, Tiltonsville and Rayland, and is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
Adena's annual holiday parade is set for 4:30 p.m. Dec. 9.
This list of area parades, while not in any way complete, offers a representative sampling of some of the good things our communities have to offer this holiday season. We hope you will take some time to enjoy an area parade and share some holiday cheer.

I do find it amusing that, for the last scandal, when actual crimes were committed with actual underworld people that few of us ever suspected, most people on this forum accused NHK et al of overreacting. Now, when evidence is found for a non-crime that we all knew was going on, it's a crisis situation.
It is really a crisis situation that could even threaten their existence unless they take immediate actions as this could cause the cancellation of Haru Basho.
This will blow over exactly how the gambling blew over; a basho or two of "reflection", meetings to schedule other meetings that are eventually forgotten, a few sacrificial lambs falling by the wayside to save the hides of the real culprits, and life eventually goes back to normal, minus the fans they've alienated this time around.

Robinson Crusoe
Today I started reading Christ the Eternal Tao which thus far is very interesting. It is a good example of how Orthodoxy doesn't seek to destroy a culture, but to grow from what is good within a culture. And of course I probably should have read this awhile ago considering my avatar here!
I'd read it if there was a Reader's Digest condensed version. I've heard it is overly verbose, but nonetheless an excellent book.
The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice
Ebor,Oroonoko....that's the one that is structured largely like a romance right? between an African princess and prince, iirc? i read it 2 summers ago i think...there was something troubling about the ending though, i cant clearly recall what. sparked lots of discussion in class. let me know your thoughts on it when you finish?

The above phrase is something I've known for as long as I can remember, though I don't know from where. What is its origin and usage?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the exact origins of the phrase to a T are unknown:
So, it is possible that the use is not referring to the use of a tee when building something. The Phrase Finder agrees that there is no accepted derivation, but offers the following:
So the OED and Phrase Finder agree that the most likely etymology is that the phrase to a T comes from to a tittle. There is also the phrase:
A tee is a right angle instrument used to draw and measure square corners in building and carpentry.
When you carve a square stone to build your medieval cathedral (or cut drywall to build your garage) you test it is square by holding up the tee to it.
OED says that you can spell it as to a T or to a tee. As was already mentioned, no one knows for sure where it came from.
The earlier phrase "to a tittle", of which "to a T" is apparently a shortened form, would seem to be derived from King James bible (originally translated in 1611, and by the end of that century the most widely used English language bible).
Luke 16:17
Read these passages in context
I have just watched the WW1 Antiques Road show special http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04nw22y which features a woman who brought several letters written by her grandmother's first husband to her grandmother during the War. She had given him a pen and in the letter he says, "As you can see the pen works very well and it suits me to a tittle." So, unless that phrase originates earlier than the beginning of the 20th century, surely this is the origin of "suits me to a t(ittle)".

1968 Chevy C-10 - A Long WinterWritten by on April 1, 2008 Contributors: Rob Fortier Roddy Grimes' '68 C-10
Roddy is the son of a gearhead, dyed-in-the-wool, as they say. His dad always had some sort of hot rod that he drove, worked on, and even drag raced at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This nurtured Roddy's fixation for things that go fast. When he was 15, Roddy's parents gave him a '70 Nova SS that his dad owned since it was new, and with this car, Roddy began honing his hands-on mechanical adventures that have yet to cease.
In the fall of 2005, Roddy Grimes had just finished building a new workshop at his house and figured he needed to fill it with a project to really break it in, you know, just for the winter.
Well, Roddy is an adult now as well as a dad himself, so he should've known better that "winter projects" usually last a few extra seasons. Nevertheless, Roddy bought a '68 C-10 from a friend for his "winter project" that would entail a quick restoration to be sold in the spring when it was done. Well, 18 months later Roddy finished the C-10 with no plans to sell it. The truck turned into a ground-up build that would consume more of his mind and wallet than he anticipated, but Roddy shows no builder's remorse.
A simple C-notch in the rear started Roddy's off-track adventure. Pretty soon, he had all kinds of suspension pieces on order as well as Baer Brake's 13-inch discs for each wheel. Once the dust cleared in the rear, he settled on 6-inch dropped coils from McGaughy's, 1 1/2-inch blocks from Woodall Industries, and CPP's robust, tubular trailing arms. Roddy had his good friend Billy Russell go through the stock 12-bolt rearend and stuff it with a new Auburn Posi. In the front, McGaughy's 2 1/2-inch dropped spindles and 2-inch lower coils brought the nose down right where it was supposed to be once the as-cast 18- and 20-inch American Racing Torq-Thurstn IIs were mounted.
Roddy wanted the suspension to emulate Pro Touring musclecars, and he figured he'd better have some horsepower to back everything up, so again he called up Billy, and soon Roddy had himself a 468ci Rat motor to stuff under the Goodmark cowl-induction hood. Billy had Pro Machine bore out the four-bolt main 454 block 0.060-over before he filled it with a steel crank, GM 7/16-inch high-performance Dimple rods, forged SRP pistons, and a COMP Cams Extreme hydraulic roller cam. Edelbrock's aluminum Performer heads, an Air Gap intake, and a Holley 850-cfm carb cap off the big-block. Walt's Transmission built Roddy a stout 700-R4 to withstand all the abuse 500 horsepower can dish.
Every piece of the C-10 has been blasted and restored or replaced, and Roddy made more than a few orders, calls, and trips to David Woodall at Southern kentucky Classics for his expertise and parts. All along Roddy had planned on silver paint and a red interior for the '68, but after he was unable to find a shade of silver that he liked, Roddy told the painter, Rollo, to just go ahead and paint it black. So the guys at Rollo's Auto Restoration got to work meticulously prepping the Chevy to spray the truck in PPG black followed by numerous coats of clear. Jeff Smith of Smith Brite was handed all the trim, which he polished to the highest luster. Once mounted on the arrow-straight truck, the trim popped against the black.
Inside the C-10 is its most talked Winter about feature-the seats. There's many a head that gets scratched trying to figure out what those way cool-looking buckets are from, and most never guess they belong in a Ford Galaxy. DJ's upholstery in Bowling Green did a fine job stitching the custom interior using the latest faux leather material, RAVE. The interior's Flame Red color against the black paint looks striking, classy, modern, and nostalgic, all at the same time. A Corvette steering wheel, Classic Instruments gauges, Vintage Air, and an Alpine stereo also occupy the cab.
After it was all said and done, Roddy is happy to have gotten sidetracked-look what he has to show for it! He wanted to make sure to thank his wife, lisa, and their children, Matthew, Taylor, and Emily, for all their patience, as well as Ronnie Cline, Mark Shultz, Roger Minyard, Mike Cornelius, Billy Russell, and David Woodall for all their help. And we'd like to say hats off to everyone!

In case anyone has this same issue (like I did) here's what I did to "fix" it:
My scenario:
Border layout, 3 regions (west, center, south) that were subclasses of panels, collapse buttons disappearing on collapse.
I "fixed" the disappearing collapse buttons by taking theCode:
collapsible: true
PHP Code:
items: [{
xtype: 'detailedview' //my subclass
,collapsible: true
xtype: 'applicantview' //my subclass
,collapsible: true
xtype: 'sidePanel' //my subclass
,collapsible: true
Hope this helps someone...
By the way I don't know why this works and maybe someone with a bit more knowledge could shed some light :-)

I've just experienced the same problem (uncollapse button disappears), although I'm changing the panel title. Your workaround works; remove the 'collapsible' value from within your xtype and instead at it to the parent's items list.
The problem I have with the fix is that I'm using the Designer and adding the 'collapsible' value to the parent needs to be done in the .ui.js file which would mean breaking away from the Designer for further changes. Is there a way to do this programmatically? I tried calling "this.items.items[0].collapsible = true;" from initComponent(), but that doesn't seem to work.

I've been poking at the API for Panel. It looks like there's no way to change whether or not a panel is collapsible at runtime. I guess I'll have to create the outer panel programmatically (not using Designer generated code) and then add my items through that. There's not a lot in the outer panel code, given that the items are added using xtypes, so it shouldn't be too much hassle.

In my case it was just a matter of spelling:
collapsible instead of collapsable
