Sterling Silver Heavy Closed Jump Ring (1x12mm)
This sterling silver component can be used as a link or closed jump ring. We carry this product in several sizes, so choose each one accordingly to the project you will be applying it to. The round variation of this link is ideal for symmetrical jewelry designs. Create your own chain and add beads where you see fitting. Swarovski Austrian crystals, freshwater pearls, lampwork and gemstone strands are all great matches for sterling silver. Add to your stringing material before dangling open jump rings to prevent fraying of fibers or wire. Always consider the path of least resistance when designing your jewelry and crafting creations. Use as earring components, dangles on charm bracelets or fun links for necklaces and anklets. The possibilities can go as far as your imagination will take them.

Does it matter what gas "brand" I fill up with?
7 Answers answer
From what I understand, the difference in brands is merely a difference in additives.
The key is to purchase fuel at a station that has good volume, so as to get fresh stuff with less crud in it.
Bonus is that's usually the lowest cost option.
simple answer...NO.
Funny I would have said no that is an old wives tale 2 days ago, but we filled up with Casey's gas and not 5 highway miles later I look down and the check engine light comes on. We pull over and the instructions say check the gas cap. I made sure it was tight(something I have never had an issue with). When I got home we googled it because the the light did not go off. The internet said battery cap and to unhook the battery for 10 minutes, we did for longer. The light came back on. The light has been on we got at least 2 tanks of gas from our Shell since. Last night I unhooked the battery and the light did not come back on.
So an unexpected yes from me.
@j5: Truth in that the gasoline base is exactly the same brand to brand. Then each retailers adds their proprietary additives to their gas. How much of that is beneficial? How much is marketing snake oil? I don't know. I'm not a chemist. However, General Motors (and other manufacturers) have recognized the benefits of "top tier" gasoline, or retailers that offer a final product that EXCEEDS standards that the EPA regulates. Here's a list of retailers that are recognized for offering "top tier" gasoline:
I fill up with regular and then add a container of Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas tank every 5 tanks
Gas is gas, it's all the same chemically. In some markets (like mine), virtually all the gas sold at any station within a 75-mile radius comes from one refinery. All the "extra special mileage-boosting engine-cleaning" crap is added at the pipeline depot outside of town.
I buy 87-proof and add a bottle of STP every 10th tank. So far my 20-year old Volvo doesn't seem to care what logo is on the pump.
No. Chances are good that all of your local gasoline comes from the same distributor. YMMV (sorry, I had to throw that in at the end).

Mitochondria and plastids have their own DNA, their own membranes, and their reproduction is not tied to the reproductive cycle of the host cell. However, they are considered to be organelles rather than a separate species in symbiosis with eukaryotes. Granted, mitochondria and plastids are incapable of living outside their parent cells, and likewise eukaryotes are incapable of surviving without the help of mitochondria and plastids. But this is also true of many other symbiotic pairs in Eukarya. So where does the distinction lie? What makes mitochondria and plastids organelles rather than separate organisms?
I would say it has to do with the amount of mitochondrial or sequence that has been transferred to the host genome. As a consequence of all this information stored in the host genome, mitochondria cannot reproduce without the host. In this way, they are not their own organisms, but rather organelles.
Over evolutionary time, the line between organelle and intracellular endosymbiont gets blurry, but in their current state, mitochondria are organelles.
The same goes for for plastids, in general.

Hello, I am trying to find an upper bound on the expectation value of the product of two random variables.
So suppose x, y are two non-independent random variables, given that I know the distribution of x p(x) and the distribution of y q(y), how can I find an upper bound on E[|x * y |] that is a function of p and q?
I know that Holder's inequality gives an upper bound to my problem in terms of moments of x and y, but this is a poor bound for the problem that I am considering.
Thank you! Best Michele

Quarless is solid for that money. Def a number 2 guy, combine with Bostick and a draft pick. Should be serviceable. Neal's money seems a little high for his production, but I think TT is basing it on prediction. Guy had his best year last year and should improve with another offseason of conditioning and studying the position.Hide replies
I think Ted bases a lot of his player signings on prediction.
Better than being the Vikings and overpaying for vets who have already reached their peaks
seems like alot of GMs are signing the ESPN "stars" . I'd hate to be a Broncos fan in 2 years.....
Like the Broncos?
Broncos have panicked. Betting the next five years on one shot. Given the success rate the following year of Super Bowl losers the Broncos are in for a big disappointment.
Broncos have panicked? No, they realize thry will have Manning for 2 more years max and they need a defense to win the super bowl and are all in.
Not overpriced for two players that are UFA's and likely starters.Hide replies
Likely starters on a mediocre team.
Which make me wonder why you follow the GB Packers or even come on here to comment............................LIL RAY.
makes me wonder, not make me wonder
LIL RAY: Do mediocre teams make the playoffs 5 years in a row? Makes me wonder....
yes sure yes...this is the age of parity.
why do you come here, not why you even come here.
Ray, if you're going to try and correct someone, try to get it right.
Meanie-"even come on here" not "even come here", try reading and comprehending, just a thought.
A typo......................big deal genius.
A good way to slither out of answering why you even come here.
"Why you even come here" is not a typo genius.
Your the only gut I know that makes a typo on a correction ......shear genius.
never said it was a typo... it's horrible grammar.
Lil ray what ever happened to your Justin Prochnow ID?.....you know JPkool.
You've even been caught answering people with ID's that weren't in the convo...... I really LMAO at the shear incompetence involved there.
You really have problemo dude.
hahaha...very good meancountry...you are sharpie!
I'll take my bad grammar over your pea brain and stupid one liner comebacks any day.
This is like listening to 10 year olds arguing on the playground.
You should feel right at home then.
Meangreen - it's "Sheer genius" that other kind is when you cut your hair with a tool used on Sheep.
Fantastic, the 3 stooges playing grammar cop together.
Mean, the back and forth posting is why referred to 10 year olds, not saying you are 10. BigRAY not so sure they are not 10. Agree that grammar policing on blogs is rediculous.
So going forward, that first round pick has to go to Ebron, a FS or DE/NT. If you get Ebron, move Hyde to FS and draft another safety late. If you get a first round safety, start him with Burnett. I'd love to see Wilfork as our NT for 2 years if that achilles is ok. Combine that with maybe this Walker guy from OAK, D Jones, Worthy, Boyd, Daniels and a draft pick. Has to be better than last years line. WR in second round draft is a must! ARod needs another big target to push the seems and for the red zone if Finley leaves.Hide replies
I think there's a good chance Ebron falls to 21 if nobody trades up for him. ATL needs one, but their Oline needs help (and they'd have to trade back, no ways he's a top 6 pick). Other teams looking at TE are DET, BUF, NYJ, MIA and NYG. But all of those teams have glaring needs at CB, WR, OL, so maybe he could fall!
A dream draft for me to see would be:
Rd 1: (21) Calvin Pryor
Rd 2: (53) Troy Niklas
Rd 3: (85) Daquan Jones
Rd 3: (98) Daniel McCullers
Rd 4: (119) Shayne Skov
Rd 5: (155) Kevin Norwood
Rd 6: (195) Jeff Janis
Two more picks after that, who knows at that point maybe backup QB (Tajh Boyd?).Hide replies
Love it, except Pryor. Just not high on that guy. Dix has played so well on really good teams. Nicklas is going to be an all-pro, but don't call him a bust after his first season. He's going to need time - the Iowa kid can likely be had in the third round and be ready faster, but you sacrifice upside. Jones and McCullers and Skov could be players for a long time. Norwood sounds a lot like James Jones. Never bad to trade down in age and salary for very similar players.
Definitely I like Dix better than Pryor too, I am assuming he is gone at 21 though. I wouldn't mind seeing them trade down, pick up and extra pick and then take Terrence Brooks. I like what I've seen from him.
I think they got their 5 Million worth. Especially when you see contract Dansby signed for basically one good year.
As a Marxist, I don't like to cry "overpay", but Thompson clearly overpaid Neal.
$4 M a year for a terrible DE and average OLB that can't cover worth a lick. Should've signed Nobody off the street for the minimum instead. Nobody would have no problem matching Neal's mediocre production.
For a cheapo, Thompson sure loves to overpay the players he gave birth to. See Brad Jones, AJ Hawk, Morgan Burnett, etc.Hide replies
Spot on tank.
Couldn't agree more
If Neal has 8 plus sacks next year will you agree then?
This is classic. Curly and Larry congratulating Moe on his genius.
If my internal Cheesy cap calculator is working, the Pack have roughly #23.1 million left against the cap now that they've re-signed three and tendered one. I believe this gives them room to sign nearly all of their own players back if they desire, plus maybe even pick up a second-tier guy. Here are some guesses based upon other market values we've seen:
Raji - $4 million
EDS - $2.8 million?
Kuhn - $1.6 million?
Starks - $1.3 million?
Finley/Daniels - $4 million?
That leaves $9.4 million to sign draft picks, extend Cobb and/or Nelson, and maybe even get a solid $2 million FA. Eliminate Starks or Kuhn and you have even more to extend the WRs or grab a second-tier guy.Hide replies
Kinda scary aint it cheese
Yep, add in Francois, Jolly, Pickett, Wilson & Flynn and Ted pretty much has his team set. Add in the several rookies that'll make the final roster after beating out the several rookies that made the roster last season, and they should have a really good chance of winning the Super Bowl.
I forgot Jones, but I'm almost considering he and Finley an either-or situation. However, if TT doesn't sign any outside FAs, he might be able to re-sign everyone.
All those resignings would assure that the Packers would be nearly identical to last years team. The team needs to get better.
A good portion of the money may be used to lock up Nelson and Cobb now before their price goes up even more. Still would like to see a veteran starting caliber safety - would make Burnett better and give Hyde or Richardson the opportunity to develop.
I don't see why we have to lock up Cobb. He's too small to last that long in he NFL. Even the Viqueens knew that you don't sign a guy like that long term and they traded Percy Harvin. And Cobb isn't as good as Harvin.
IMO, Kuhn only comes back at the minimum. Not sure what that is. Starks is not coming back and Finley is not coming back
Cobb is only 23 right now, I would like to see the Packers have him until he is around 30.
I mean Steve Smith and Wes Welker are guys around that size playing into their mid-30s.
same Ted..different year..yeah,lets get all those men back that we had last year..that was a great team..haha
Wonder how Thomas DeCoud would fit? FS. Pro bowler 2 years ago. Still under 30.Hide replies
He was drafted by another team....no chance
Ted didn'tdraft him so he can't be any good
No more scrub talk, Thompson has to move up in the first round to bag a safety or ILB. No trading back for training camp casualties and no shows. Get three impact players in the high rounds.
Very reasonable deals, in my opinion. Neal's deal is more like a $6 million deal unless he earns it. Very reasonable. I'm very happy with those deals. Both players have quite a bit of untapped potential.Hide replies
I bet those two play 16 games next year. Combined. Neal & Quarless are poster boys for the Thompson Way. Mediocre talent that's always hurt and completely unremarkable
They may use Neal as a hybrid. Sometimes standing up, other times hand on the ground. They want to make the defense less predictable, hybrid players can do that.
D Jones and Perry could be hybrids too. Play to their strengths rather than force them into traditional 3-4 roles. Can Capers do that is the question.
You bet what?

There's no part in a stringed instrument more important than the strings themselves, which is why choosing the right set is so important - and that goes double for the autoharp, since it has quite a few more strings than the average instrument! While autoharp strings have a longer average lifespan than those on instruments like guitars and banjos, there still comes a time when they're due for replacement. Is it that time now for yours? Or maybe you'd just like to be ready for it in advance? Either way, this lineup of autoharp strings is the perfect place to find what you need. Giving your autoharp a tonal facelift or a new lease on life is as easy as fitting a brand-new set of strings.
Naturally, your best bet is to start by picking out the strings that match your particular model autoharp. Some of the sets are instrument-specific, like the Rhythm Band ChromAharP Strings, which are designed to fit the RB1545, RB1552 and RB1535. On the other hand, there are general-purpose autoharp strings too: the Oscar Schmidt Autoharp String Set can be used with any 12 or 15-bar autoharp, which makes them a versatile option and a good addition to any autoharp player's instrument. Both of these sets are high-quality strings with great tone and responsiveness, so you can count on your harp to sound its best once you've got them fitted.
As with all things in music, the choice of autoharp strings is a subjective one - it's completely up to you what you'd like to put on your instrument. So don't feel limited in your options! As long as the strings you choose can fit on your autoharp and support the proper tuning, they'll be able to help you make great music for a long time to come. And who knows? With a new set of strings affecting its sound, you just might end up with a harp that sounds better than ever before.

Suppose that the $n^2$ cells of an $n\times n$ array are labeled with the integers $1, \dots, n^2$. Under the traditional left-to-right and top-to-bottom labeling, the labels of horizontally adjacent cells differ by $1$, and the labels of vertically adjacent cells differ by $n$. Is it possible to relabel the array so that the labels of adjacent cells (horizontally or vertically) differ by less than $n$?
I suspect the answer is "no" but do not have a proof. I made up this problem while contemplating a similar Putnam Competition problem (1981, A-2). In this problem, adjacent cells are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal neighbors.

Maurizio Amadei launched his MA+ line in 2006. His collections offer a minimalist visual aesthetic, with the minimum employment of seams. He achieves his aesthetic through various expert techniques, often using a singular piece of cloth and the innovative use of fold to create articulate, delicate structures.
His notion of garment design takes much from his apprecaiation of the human form, and from the delicacies to be found with the human skin.
As such, his garments reflect a kind of seamless, simplistic structure, almost as if a second skin, yet at the same time often incorporate highly intricate patterns whose beauty lies in the detail.

FORT HOOD (November 27, 2012)--A recent recall of atorvastatin medication is not applicable to medication purchased on post, a Fort Hood spokesperson said.
Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. is recalling more than 40 lots of atorvastatin pills, the generic version of the popular statin Lipitor that works to lower cholesterol.
The recall is for possible glass contamination and while Fort Hood pharmacies say they are not affected by the recall, nor are Community Based Medical Homes, residents are urged to contact their pharmacists to ensure that medications received off post are safe to consume.


text: Welcome to my tutorial on how to draw the Golden Snitch! As some of you may know the Golden Snitch is the smallest in 3 different types of balls used in the game Quidditch in the Harry Potter books. This is one of my favorite series of books and I decided to make a tutorial on how to draw the small, walnut-sized ball. The Golden Snitch is a small, only impossible-to-see game ball that earns the seeker that catches it 150 points for their team, and the game cannot end until this ball is captured. In the books, some games last weeks or months! If the game was actually real and playable, i would definitely play it. Can you imagine signing up for Quidditch at your school??? Anywho, enjoy my third tutorial on How to Draw the Golden Snitch!

UCT has Sax Appeal in the Mother City
The University of Cape Town (UCT)'s annual Sax Appeal magazine showcases some of the best South African writers and satirists, and introduces readers to some fresh talent from the students too. Sales of the magazine go towards UCT's SHAWCO, an organisation set up to improve the quality of life of previously disadvantaged individuals in developing communities within the Cape Town metropolitan area. This morning, UCT students were out and about selling the 2013 edition of Sax Appeal in Cape Town and its surrounding suburbs. Standing on street corners and intersections in a variety of wacky outfits, they made for an interesting sight for Cape Town's morning commuters. Check out some of the pictures from Twitter earlier:

Rebecca Bruning, Steven Cooper Named to the AFCU Gold StandardApril 8, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Women's tennis freshman Rebecca Bruning and baseball sophomore first baseman Steven Cooper have been selected to the Anderson Federal Credit Union Gold Standard for their outstanding performances in the month of March.
Bruning, who is in her first season of collegiate tennis, posted a perfect 5-0 record in singles for the month, while going 4-1 in doubles. Bruning opened the month with a 6-4, 6-0 wins over Mars Hill's Lucy McLauren after teaming up with junior Lindsay Gregory and defeated Anna Rickenbaker and Jade Henke at the No. 2 doubles position.
Later, Bruning cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Converse's Kelsey Rembert following another doubles win as the Trojans blanked their in-state rival Valkyries, 9-0. On March 20, Bruning grabbed two more wins as the freshman paired up with Gregory once again to defeat Brevard's tandem of Claudia Hellman and Nirvanna Silva, 8-1. In singles against BC, the freshman knocked off Jule Herman 6-1, 7-5.
After suffering her first doubles setback against GRU Augusta, Bruning responded in the singles round as she grabbed a 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Gisela Font. Bruning wrapped up the month with 6-1, 6-2 win over Lincoln Memorial's Priscilla Bulandres prior to her fourth doubles victory of the month over Roksolana Prudyvus and Alexandra Granger.
For her efforts last week, Bruning was named to her first South Atlantic Conference honor, being picked for the conference's Player of the Week honor, sharing the title with Queens' Christina Rutscheff. On the year, Bruning is 11-1 in singles with a 7-5 mark in doubles action.
Cooper, who started all 17 games in the month of March, recorded a team-high .435 batting average (27-for-62) while tallying at least one hit in 15 of the 17 games played. In the span, Cooper notched 10 multi-hit games, highlighted by a 4-for-5 performance against Wingate where he pounded a home run and a double while driving in five runs and scoring twice.
Also for the month, Cooper posted a .527 on-base percentage with a .774 slugging percentage, while scoring 21 times and driving in 21 runs. The Williamston, S.C. native blasted five home runs, four doubles and a key triple in a 5-2 win over Southern Wesleyan at Greenville's Fluor Field.
Currently, Cooper ranks fifth in the country and is the only player in the league with more than 100 total bases with 102 for the year. His .369 average ranks fourth in the SAC, while his 43 RBI this year ranks first.
Each month, one male and one female student-athlete or teams are honored as the Anderson Federal Credit Union Gold Standard Performers of the Month for his or her performance in competition, in the classroom, or in the community.
Check back for our honorees for the month of April.

Funny Money
Dead Accounts
Music Box Theatre, 249 W. 45th St.
($62-$129), 212-239-6200, closes Feb. 24
New York
Sometimes a play that doesn't quite work can be more satisfying than a well-made piece of dramatic yard goods. It isn't hard to see what's wrong with Theresa Rebeck's "Dead Accounts," the story of a manic embezzler who takes the money and runs home to his mother—yet for all its manifest flaws, Ms. Rebeck's new play is seldom predictable and never boring, and her cast, led by Norbert Leo Butz, glitters like sapphires on black velvet. If it's perfection you want, go elsewhere, but you'll miss out on an exceedingly interesting night at the theater.
Jack, Mr. Butz's character, turns up without warning at the back door of his childhood home in suburban Cincinnati, spewing one-liners in all directions. At first it seems that a comedy is getting under way, but it soon becomes clear that bad things have either happened or are about to, and by the time Jack starts pulling stacks of bank-strapped bills out of his pockets, you've got a pretty fair idea of what's afoot. So do Lorna ( Katie Holmes), Jack's unhappy sister, and Barbara ( Jayne Houdyshell), his blandly censorious mother, both of whom notice with alarm that he keeps cracking jokes about having murdered his wife. Once Jenny, the wife in question ( Judy Greer), arrives on the scene, we learn exactly what's got Jack so upset: Not only is Jenny divorcing him, but he's looted $27 million from the New York bank where her rich father got him a job.
While the laughs don't stop when the truth comes out, "Dead Accounts" is in fact a dead-serious comedy about what happens to people who, like Jack and Lorna, wake up one morning and realize that their lives haven't lived up to their dreams. Is it possible to change course in midstream, or are you doomed to permanent disappointment? The problem is that Ms. Rebeck, like Neil Simon before her, finds it difficult to modulate decisively into a darker key—she keeps on cracking jokes long after the situation has ceased to call for them—and it doesn't help that "Dead Accounts" runs for two hours with a superfluous intermission. (Ms. Rebeck has always had intermission trouble.) The script would benefit from a touch of tightening.
None of this, however, stops the members of the cast from giving performances that never fail to fizz and sparkle. We've come to expect that from Mr. Butz, who might just be the smartest stage comedian of his generation, but Ms. Holmes, who floundered her way through the 2008 Broadway revival of "All My Sons," proves to be a pleasant surprise. Not only has she learned to project, but she's unafraid to be unglamorous. As for Ms. Houdyshell, Broadway has no finer character actor, and Ms. Greer and Josh Hamilton expertly dispatch their supporting roles. Jack O'Brien, the director, pays close attention to detail without lapsing into fussiness.
The Piano Lesson
Signature Theatre, Pershing Square Signature Center
480 W. 42nd St. (sold out through
Dec. 9, then $75), 212-244-7529, extended through Dec. 30
I've never seen a bad production of an August Wilson play—his work has a way of bringing out the very best in its performers—but some are inevitably better than others. Ruben Santiago-Hudson, whose 2006 Signature Theatre revival of "Seven Guitars" was nothing short of magnificent, has done it again with "The Piano Lesson," Mr. Wilson's 1987 play about a Pittsburgh family whose members seek to exorcise—literally—the ghosts of the past that keep them from grappling with the challenges of the present. The staging is taut and disciplined, the acting sumptuous, and Michael Carnahan's precisely imagined two-story set would hold your attention even if the rest of the show didn't measure up.
What is there to say about a cast whose members are all sublime? To single out Roslyn Ruff for her fierceness or Chuck Cooper for his abundant charisma is to disserve their equally deserving colleagues, especially Eric Lenox Abrams, who invests the part of Avery, the aspiring preacher who pines vainly for Berniece (Ms. Ruff), with eye-catching solidity. This is the kind of ensemble that needs no name-above-the-title stars to inscribe itself permanently on your memory.
Though "The Piano Lesson" won a Pulitzer Prize, it's not Mr. Wilson's strongest play. He was already starting in 1987 to succumb to the garrulity that would become his besetting sin, and by the time the second act rolls around, you'll likely feel a touch of impatience. Nor does the expressionistic flamboyance of the play's last scene sit well alongside the Chekhovian table talk of the first act, in which commonplace chatter is invested with the bright ring of poetry. But Mr. Santiago-Hudson nails everything together so well that you'll have no trouble at all forgiving Mr. Wilson for his periodic lapses from dramaturgical grace.
A special and heartfelt word of praise to Bill Sims Jr., who wrote the savory incidental music for this revival and so presumably arranged "Berta, Berta," a gritty chain-gang song from Parchman Farm, the notorious Mississippi penitentiary. Mr. Cooper, Brandon J. Dirden, Jason Dirden and James A. Williams, whose characters have all done hard time on Parchman, sing the song in the first act. It stops the show—and so it should.

6 People Who Secretly Ruled The World
Hey, remember that Dick Cheney guy? You know, the shadowy old man lurking behind George W. Bush and tugging on the strings that jerkily moved Bush's limbs? He still turns up on Fox News sometimes?
Well, it turns out that history is full of those guys, the power behind the power whose names don't come up in history class, but who were happy to change history from the shadows.
#6. The Woman Behind Alexander the Great: Olympias
The Figurehead:
Alexander the Great was, well, great (there was very little tendency towards sarcastic monikers in ancient times). By the time he died, he was the proclaimed king of Asia, with a kingdom which stretched from Greece and Egypt to modern India--comprising one of the largest and most culturally diverse empires the world has ever seen. Intelligent, courageous and a leader of men; Alexander the Great was a man's man.
The Woman Behind the Scenes
He was also a momma's boy. You may already be tangentially aware of the existence of Alexander's mother thanks to the frighteningly boner-inducing depiction of Olympias by Angelina Jolie. Never has an audience been given so much reason to forgive an Oedipus Complex than the movie Alexander.
Beautiful, powerful and heavily involved in a snake-worshiping cult of Dionysus, Olympias is regularly depicted as sleeping with snakes. Hell, Olympias was the Angelina Jolie of 4th century B.C.
When questions came up about Alexander's claim to the throne, she claimed that the god Zeus himself impregnated her under an oak tree, a legitimate claim to any damn throne Alex could point a finger at. Knowing Olympias, that is strangely plausible.
When her husband, Phillip, took a new wife and divorced Olympias, she had him assassinated. Well, we don't know for sure she was behind it, but let's just say she is said to have placed a golden crown on the murderer, dedicated a memorial to him and hung the sword he used to kill Phillip in a temple of Apollo, elevating it to the status of a legendary weapon. She then forced her replacement wife to hang herself and had the two children she had with Phillip killed, assuring Alexander's claim to the throne was unrivaled.
When the now-king Alexander was gone (read: the entire time he was king), Olympias wielded great influence and power, often contradicting the efforts of the guy who was supposed to do that, the regent Antipater. Antipater's many official complaints on the matter went unnoticed by Alexander, who was happy to let his mother do as she wished. Hell, between wanting to fuck her and being scared to death of her, who wouldn't?
"Mom I gotta be honest, I am, like, six different kinds of uncomfortable right now."
The Final Bitchslap
After Alexander's death, Olympias remained a prominent world figure, waging wars on behalf of her grandson's failed claim to the throne. Most telling is the last message from Antipater to his beloved Macedonian people. On his deathbed, with Olympias eager for the opportunity his vacant seat would provide, Antipater coughed out a warning to the Macedonians to never let a woman rule over them. Not a hot one, anyway.
#5. The Man Behind Napoleon: Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord
The Figurehead:
Napoleon was short, had a tiny penis and a made up for it in a highly aggressive and confrontational manner. He was also arguably the most brilliant general the world has ever seen, staking claim to nearly the entire European continent with a series of dazzling and brilliant military campaigns.
The Man Behind The Scenes
While Napoleon was out declaring war on everyone he saw, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord was back home acting as Napoleon's Minister of Foreign Relations, a position we can only assume was given sarcastically, like Canada's Minister of War. Talleyrand-Perigord outsmarted and out-strategized Napoleon at every turn, going behind his back to work out deals with Austria and Russia to try and keep Napoleon in check. He made treason cool again by the sheer balls of doing it to the shortest, most overcompensating man the world has ever seen.
The guy who owns Napoleon's penis assures us it looks like "a maltreated shoelace, or shriveled eel."
Talleyrand-Perigord always happened to be on the right side during some of France's most politically turbulent times; generally the side whose guys weren't being beheaded. He knew the game of politics like none other. So, when Napoleon discovered that the man was heading a plot to betray him and called all his ministers to his palace to surprise him with the charges, Talleyrand-Perigord just sat there looking bored.
This infuriated Napoleon who had more been expecting something along the lines of quivering and trembling. So he threw a tantrum, complete with stomping feet and threats, calling Charles, "shit in a silk stocking" and saying that he "deserved to be broken like glass." When he was done, Talleyrand-Perigord said in a disappointed tone of voice, "What a pity that so great a man should have such bad manners."
Such tiny, tiny manners.
Though Talleyrand-Perigord was fired, Napoleon came out looking like the bad guy. As Charles himself put it, it was "the beginning of the end" for Napoleon.
The Final Bitchslap:
After Napoleon was exiled, France went through some pretty rough times. Talleyrand-Perigord engineered for Napoleon to escape exile and, with the help of England and Austria, he even made it possible for Napoleon to return to power, knowing that he would just lead France into war once more. He also knew that given France's decrepit state that this would lead to a resounding defeat from which Napoleon's swelling reputation would not recover.
After 100 days in power, Napoleon was famously defeated in the battle of Waterloo and exiled once again, this time for good. One final time, Talleyrand-Perigord played Napoleon like a bitch. In his own words, "Regimes may fall and fail, but I do not."
#4. The Man Behind Genghis Khan: Yelu Chucai
The Figurehead:
Besides being the world's greatest conqueror, Genghis Khan is the common ancestor of about one percent of the entire human population, thanks to the sheer amount of boning he did. Genghis organized the Mongol clans into the kind of brutal force that later inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's orcish horde.
Yet for all his seemingly mindless razing and pillaging, Khan was a man with a plan: show no mercy, run a strict rule of law and annihilate your enemies. It wasn't a terribly nuanced plan, but goddamn did it work.
The Man Behind The Scenes:
Among Genghis's circle of advisers was Yelu Chucai, a clever outsider who found himself in the unique position of an intellectual among rapists (tell us about it!).
Nicknamed "Long Beard" by Genghis for his... long beard, Yelu was a tempering voice during Mongol rule. For instance, Genghis saw nothing in China but a place that lacked pasturing for his horses and had said that "It would be better to exterminate the Chinese and let the grass grow." Yelu, himself a foreigner, appealed to Genghis's self-interest to save many Chinese cities.
Given that Genghis had just three motivations--pasture for ponies, women for raping and gold for pillaging--and given that two of those would be most easily attained by utterly destroying every Chinese city he came upon, Yelu's job wasn't easy. But he convinced Genghis that a whole lot more gold could be had from China by merely taxing them.
Mongolopoly. Quite possibly the simplest game ever invented.
Time and again, Yelu used this strategy to convince Genghis to show mercy (a concept previously unknown to the Mongols) to many Chinese cities--the capital city of Kaifeng among them--to the spitting rage of his bloodthirsty generals.
The Final Bitchslap:
Yelu's system of taxation and governance proved too profitable to ignore. So much so that even Genghis's successor, Ogedei, kept him on staff to run the bureaucracy of Northern China. This from a man who once openly mocked Yelu's insistence to tax cities rather than raze them, saying, "Are you going to weep for the people again?" Yelu's response to Ogedei was that empires could sure be conquered on horseback, but not ruled from them. He's been proven right for about eight consecutive centuries now.

I would like to perfom such feats as cycling through previous commands, editing commands in place, etc. My expectation would be a readline-like interface, but this appears to not be the default.
If you want readline-like behavior you can of course use a readline wrapper. This works on all operating systems. On Ubuntu Linux (and other distributions I'm sure too) it can be installed easily through the package management. On Max OSX this can be installed using for instance MacPorts and I'm sure, there is an easy option on Windows too. Anyway, on all systems you can compile it yourselft. The usage is then
on Linux or
on Mac OSX. Try it and be surprised ;-)
If you're on Windows: which command line interface are you talking about?
The "math.exe" program is a console mode (i.e. "DOS prompt") interface to the Mathematica kernel. If you use that, you have access to the standard Windows console command-line editing; it is automatically provided by the OS to all console mode programs. You can use the arrow keys to move around in previous commands, and you can edit, insert, and delete, copy, cut and paste using the traditional DOS-style editing and function keys.
The "MathKernel.exe" program -- which is what appears as "Wolfram Mathematica 8 Kernel" in your Start Menu -- is a very simple GUI windowed interface without any line editing or other special features.
I usually use the Mathematica kernel by running "math.exe" inside a console, which I have set to be as tall as the screen and with a very large scrollback buffer (set using the console's "Properties" menu).
A LATER UPDATE: In Mathematica 9, the "math.exe" program uses a new and different keyboard editing system that it did before, one based on GNU readline. But you can get rid of that and go back to standard Windows console command-line editing by removing or renaming the file

Topeka, KAN. (WIBW)—Police are investigating a recent rash of burglaries in southwest Topeka, resulting in thousands upon thousands of dollars in goods stolen. Police say they are not sure why the 2700 2800 blocks of Burlingame road continue to be victimized by burglars.
Deann Bartell has lived off of Burlingame for six years now and has never had any problems. She says it's a nice, quiet place for her grandsons to play. She was surprised thieves targeted her neighborhood four times in just 24 hours.
"It just means I have to be a little more diligent about doors being locked and watching the neighborhood," said Bartell.
Police were called to 2730 S.W. Burlingame around 5:30 Thursday morning after an 82-year-old woman was assaulted by a would-be burglar. Emergency personnel found a back door had been broken open while the woman slept. Authorities say the suspect ransacked her bedroom and didn't find anything of value so he began shaking the woman. She hit her lifeline, which scared him off.
That's not the only area seeing a spike in crime. Collins Park saw five burglaries in one week. We found one patrol car searching for open garage doors, which is an easy target for criminals.
"They can have that garage burglarized in less than a minute. We want to help the citizens to help themselves and not be victims of these crimes," said Officer Steve Roth.
Criminals made off with mostly tools and power equipment. And one vehicle was stolen from both areas this week. Police have not released a description of any suspects.
If you have any information, call Crimestoppers at (785) 234-0007.

Also in this issue:
- Virginia business groups that at first fought President Barack Obama's federal health care law are now pushing for Medicaid expansion.
- In a surprise move, HHS approved Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe's alternative expansion of Medicaid to provide private insurance through the exchanges instead of the traditional program.
- Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad is rejecting the Medicaid expansion for now, but he may have to resist additional pressure from state providers.
- Despite continued questions about the funding mechanisms for the Vermont plan, Green Mountain Care inches closer to becoming the first state single-payer program.
- Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's office wants to know if the state can use the Medicaid expansion instead to dramatically grow the Healthy Indiana Plan.
- After embracing the Medicaid expansion, Ohio Gov. John Kasich dismissed disagreement from Ohio's state treasurer over the cost ramifications.
- Gov. Scott Walker's unique approach to the Medicaid issue prompts protests from many who would actually benefit from his approach.

Can anyone help with this:
If $L/K$ is a finite field extension, and we have a $K$-bilinear form given by $$(x,y)\mapsto Tr_{L/K}(xy)$$ then the form is either non-degenerate or $Tr_{L/K}(x)=0$ for every $x\in L$.
So far, I feel like I've run into something a little nonsensical. Suppose the form is degenerate, i.e. $\exists \alpha\in L$, $\alpha\neq 0$ such that $(\alpha,\beta)=0$ for all $\beta$. Then specifically, $Tr_{L/K}(\alpha\alpha^{-1})=Tr_{L/K}(1)=0$. But it is a theorem from Morandi's "Field and Galois Theory" that if $\alpha\in K$ (the base field) then $Tr_{L/K}(\alpha)=n\alpha$ where $n$ is the dimension of the field extension, so in this case we get that $[L:K]=0$ which doesn't make any sense. Am I doing something wrong here?

There are many different ways to look up genealogy for yourself these days. If you are very interested but don't wish to do all the leg work you can hire a genealogist to research the roots of your family for you. A little less dramatic than that is the ability to subscribe to genealogy sites that have not been sprouting up on the Internet. Some work like elaborate social network asking their own users to create the family trees and fill in the blanks whereas some utilize researchers to dig up documentation of the background of a history of a person and their family name. The more common a name, such as St Vincent the more you are likely to find tied to you that you did not even know about.
Genealogy is not a new thing but with the use of the Internet it has really taken off and with more and more documents being searchable and able to be find and viewed online it has started to become more of a hobbyist pursuit to find out about ones background. What once required going to offices of documents to pour over 100s if not 1000s of files to get the smallest strain of information to find ones family background is now a trivial task. This is all thanks to technology which has constantly made life easier in all sorts of unexpected ways, from medicine to simply researching ones own background.
Without this technology and move to digitization none of this genealogical research would be as readily available as it is today. Technology is what has made every part of our lives easier. We are now able to simply Google ourselves and find out so much information about ourselves based on how much information we put out there. Imagine someday in the future when our ancestors go to do a family tree on us how much information that will find with Facebook, Twitter and Youtube all serving as easy ways to create a family picture of ancestors. Such technology was not readily available even 15 years ago. The best comparison would be home movies but even those provided only a pale amount of information compared to what would be available on a personal level about current people who use these social media outlets.
As technology progress the ability to find out about ones own family history has advanced as well. Right now it is as simple as using some search engine of a record keeping website to find out a list of people you are directly related to and now a simple Googling of yourself can reveal so much information that might someday be researched by your future ancestors. Truly genealogical research has greatly been aided by technology today and the future is incredibly bright and even more promising when it comes to research. The ability to so easily find ones background is so easy compared to just a decade ago when it was a painstaking and time consuming task.

San Francisco Landmarks
6 of 11
Fort Point
Fort Point was constructed at the entrance of San Francisco Bay during the California Gold Rush (1853-1861). It is considered the most impressive fortification built west of the Mississippi River. For much of its existence, Fort Point has been underutilized, often used as military housing. In 1970, the National Park Service adopted Fort Point as a National Historic Site.
Fun Fact: Although it has never seen battle, Fort Point was intended as a naval base to protect northern California against foreign attacks.

Writing Portfolio - Chatter, Barks, Misc. Question
View Single Post
Junior Member
Writing Portfolio - Chatter, Barks, Misc. Question
Obviously there are a lot of things that go into writing a game, depending on what the developer has hired or wants you to do. I'm guessing that published works, sample scripts, and world building documents are important to have for a game writer in their portfolio.
But how about chatter? I forget the more common name used for this, but this is the "dialogue" that characters say while you're playing. For example, when you click on your Warcraft unit, or random things TF2 characters yell out during battle, etc.
I went to a video game writing panel and they spoke on how this can be a huge chunk of what a writer has to do, depending on the game. They however didn't address if samples of this for a portfolio would be necessary.
Would any of you suggest it? And if so do you take a brief paragraph to explain the sort of game it is, so they understand the context? And what would be the proper format? I know for dialogue trees and "chatter" excel is often used, so for a portfolio should it be the same, or in a more user friendly writing format?
As always thanks for your time and help. It's greatly appreciated.

TEMPLE (February 6, 2013)--A Temple man was held Wednesday in the Bell County Jail charged in connection with the sexual assault of an underage girl.
Emmitt Lawrence McNeil, 60, was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bond, charged with sexual assault of a child.
Temple police Cpl. Christopher Wilcox said McNeil was arrested Tuesday after detectives obtained a warrant in connection with an incident that was reported in December at a residence on North 7th Street in Temple.
McNeil shows an address on North. 7th Street, as well.
The victim, whose age was not released, told officers she had been sexually assaulted more than once.
Police say the incidents remain under investigation.

Bowling Green City Commissioner, Brian "Slim" Nash, says: "It was a long meeting. A necessary one, I think. Part of the zero-based budgeting we knew was going to be a much more lengthy process."
The nine hour Saturday city commission meeting allowed commissioners to voice questions and concerns about certain agency and department funding. One agency that was approved for the money they asked for is the Humane Society.
Commissioner Nash says: "One of the things that impressed me about the Humane Society had to say in their presentation was they were looking long range on how they could reduce the amount of money they were asking for from local government."
Another agency to receive money is the Drug Task Force.
Commissioner Nash says: "Drug Task Force received the amount of money they asked for. It is an increase over money they've received in the past."
Commissioner Nash says the Task Force had lost federal funding and the city felt it was important to make up the loss. Girls Inc was one of the agencies denied funding.
Girls Inc. Director, Patty Alford, says: "I asked for $10,000. I think there was concern there because I do get money from the United Way, that if I got money then maybe the other United Way agents would want to apply and then that would just put more burden on the city."
Alford says she understands and was happy with the zero-based budget process.
Alford says: "I just appreciate being allowed to apply for the money. That's the first year we had even been allowed to apply for it."
Nash says it's unfortunate that not all agencies can be funded this year- but the city has to allocate money to the most necessary needs.
Commissioner Nash says: "We have to prioritize what those needs are. Once we get that priority list we can start allocating the available funding to those priorities...and unfortunately those that are at the low end of priorities get left out."
Other agencies to get approved funding include:
Economic Development
Hobson House
Historic Preservation
Community Action
Primary Action
Capitol Arts
Welfare Center
Disaster Emergency Services
Operation Pride
Chamber Orchestra
Those agencies were approved, but none received the exact amount they requested.
All funding for Prime Time Events was cut. Commissioner Nash says Prime Time Events has scheduled a meeting with him about that.

I have just begun to take a look at A First Course in Abstract Algebra by Fraleigh.
The following definition is provided (ed. 6, pp. 32).
Definition: A binary operation, $*$ on a set $S$ is a function mapping $S \times S$ into $S$. For each $(a,b) \in S \times S$, we will denote the element $*((a,b))$ of $S$ by $a*b$.
After experimenting with the definition, I began to wonder whether regardless of what $S$ is, will there always be a possible binary operation. I thought, yes.
Conjecture: Let $S$ be a set. Regardless of what $S$ contains, there always exists at least one binary operation on $S$.
Let $S = \emptyset $. Then the statement there exists a function mapping $S \times S$ into $S$ is vacuously true since there are no elements to map. Thus the proposition is true for the empty set case.
Suppose $S$ is not empty. Let $a$ and $b$ be two arbitrary elements of $S$, and in the case where $S$ has just one element $a= b$. Definite $*$ to always return the first item in the ordered pair, such that $a*b=a$. This would map $S \times S$ into $S$ regardless of what the set $S$ may be.
Therefore, every possible set has a possible binary operations.
This seems to demonstrate there is always a binary operation for a set, but then it lead me to wonder whether there is also an infinite number of binary operations for any given set $S$.
Conjecture: Let $S$ be a set. Regardless of what $S$ contains, there is an infinite number of possible binary operations on $S$.
After thinking of possible binary relations, I think I have come up with a proof that shows the above statement is true.
Proof: If $S$ is empty, then any declared binary operation would be vacuously true.
If $S$ is not empty, and $S$ is an infinite set. Define a binary operation on $S$ as: let $a$ and $b$ be two arbitrary elements of $S$. Then $a *_n b$ always returns the $n^{th}$ element in the set $S$. Any infinite number of $n$ can be chosen, thus there are an infinite number of binary relations on $S$ when $S$ is infinite.
If $S$ is not empty and finite, define a new set $S'$. $S'$ contains the same elements as $S$ in the same order, and where $S$ terminates, $S'$ continues with the last element of $S$ repeated over again. Thus defining the binary operation as in the infinite case, but on $S'$, we get the same result since every element in $S'$ is in $S$.
Example: Let $S = \{ a , b , c \}$. Then $S' = \{ a , b , c , c , c , ... \}$
What I am wondering is:
Are my proofs of my conjectures correct?
Is there a more elegant way to address the question?

I believe many people think the term "Maaseh Rav" means a story of a Rabbi: since we see from the story that a Rabbi acted a certain way, we can bring this as a proof to the halacha. However, I believe another understanding of the term is "Maaseh, Rav" meaning "A story is greater": that if one can bring a story of how a Rabbi acted in a particular case then that will be greater in determining what the halacha is (greater, that is, then other proofs that could potentially be brought perhaps in terms of savarah, earlier sources, etc.). While I think both understandings practically mean the same thing, I believe the second better reflects what the phrase really means (when being used in the gemorah). However, I don't have a proof for this. Can someone please cite a source or example, or give any more insights into this?

Maaseh Rav is translated differently by three dictionaries:
The term appears in several places in the Talmud, including Shabbos 21a and 126b, Baba Kama 68a, Baba Basra 130b and Nidda 65b.
This article attempts to disprove the first translation, based on the usage of the term in Baba Basra 130b:
Translating Maaseh Rav as "A story of a sage" does not make sense in this context.

I've swapped from ASP.NET to .PHP for cost reasons. As such, I want the people to be redirected from .ASPX to its equivalent .PHP. If I create the .aspx with HTML, the file is simply displayed in the browser as text and not treated as text. How can I make the browser treat .aspx as HTML or is there another way to make APACHE redirect from aspx to its equivalent?
first, the browser does not care about the extension of the file name.
if in the response HTTP header you specify the content as
what you should do is 2 things:
YardenST is completely right it is your HTTP headers that are not telling your browser that the page is HTML and not a txt file.
But keep in mind what you are doing with .aspx is probably not the smartest thing in the world. Most web developers go out of their way to mask all file extensions (jsp, asp, shtml, php). If you are going to write rewrite rules, why not create one that actually hides the file extension so that: Default.aspx becomes Default. If you are trying to pretend that apache or whatever is serving your PHP files is IIS, dont. First its extremly easy to tell what server you are running on, and even if you changed the server headrers, its not worth the trouble.
Maybe you should just rename all your files to .php (so that if the application needs to be re-coded or edited your editor actually does the syntax highlighting for php and there is no confusion among devs), and then hide the .php extension, or write a rewrite rule that requests to .aspx are forwarded to .php.
I just had to do this today, I approached it the same way you would run php inside of html files. In my case I'm not worried about file extensions showing in the address bar, it's a copy of a client's Website he no longer has access to.
I hope that helps some.

Let $f(x)=x^n+5x^{n-1}+3$ where $n\geq1$ is an integer.Prove that $f(x)$ can't be expressed as the product of two polynomials each of which has all its coefficients integers and degree$\geq1$. If the condition that each polynomial must have all its coefficients integers was not there, then I needed to show only that $f(x)$ is irreducible over real numbers.But since this condition is given,therefore,we can't exclude the case when $f(x)$ is reducible over real numbers but not with polynomials of integer coefficients.Anyone with idea how to proceed?Thanks in advance!!
The notation $[x^t]P(x)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^t$ in polynomial $P(x)$.
Suppose that $f(x)=g(x)h(x)$, where $g(x),h(x)$ are monic polynomials, $g(x),h(x)\in\Bbb Z[x]$ and $\deg g>0$, $\deg h>0$, $\deg g+\deg h=n$. Let $g(x)=\sum_k\alpha_kx^k$, $h(x)=\sum_k\beta_kx^k$, where $\alpha_k,\beta_k$ is integer whenever $k\ge0$.
First, we have $\alpha_0\beta_0=3$, so $|\alpha_0|=3$ and $|\beta_0|=1$ or $|\alpha_0|=1$ and $|\beta_0|=3$. WLOG, suppose that $|\alpha_0|=3$ and $|\beta_0|=1$. Let $m$ is the smallest positive integer such that $3\nmid\alpha_m$ (such $m$ exists because $g(x)$ is monic). Now we have $$[z^m]f(x)=\alpha_0\beta_m+\alpha_1\beta_{m-1}+\cdots+\alpha_m\beta_0\equiv\alpha_m\beta_0\not\equiv0\pmod3$$ So $m\ge n-1$, and $\deg g\ge n-1$, thus $\deg h\le 1$, hence $\deg h=1$, and $h(x)=x+\beta_0$, where $\beta_0=\pm1$, so $h(\beta_0)=0$, and $f(\beta_0)=0$, but it's obvious that $f(\pm1)\neq0$, Q.E.D.
Hint $\ $ This is a minor variant of Eisenstein's criterion. Mod $3$ it factors as $\rm\:x^{n-1}(x+5)\:$ so by uniqueness of factorization if $\rm\:f = gh\:$ then, mod $3,\,$ $\rm\:g = x^j,\, $ $\rm\,h = x^k(x+5),\,$ $\rm\:j\!+\!k = n\!-\!1.\,$ But not $\rm\,j,k > 0\,$ else $\rm\:3\:|\:g(0),h(0)\:$ $\Rightarrow$ $\rm\:9\:|\:g(0)h(0)=f(0).\:$ Hence either $\rm\:j=0,\:$ so $\rm\:f\:$ is irreducible, or $\rm\:k=0,\:$ and $\rm\:f\:$ has a linear factor $\rm\:g,\:$ which is easily ruled out. $\ \ $ QED

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session
August 23, 2010
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Salam palace in Jeddah this evening with a briefing on his contacts last week with foreign leaders. These included a visit from Jordanian King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and telephone conversations with UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zaid Al-Nahyan and Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The Cabinet reviewed regional and international developments, confirming that the Kingdom will spare no effort in supporting flood-ravaged Pakistan. It praised the humanitarian initiatives already ordered by King Abdullah, including the dispatch of aid supplies, field hospitals and rescue teams, in addition to the donation of millions of dollars to Pakistan.
On the Iraqi issue, the Council reiterated the Kingdom's call for the Iraqi people to close ranks and give priority to the national interest by forming a reconciliatory government that helps them to achieve a unified, independent and stable country.
The Cabinet also welcomed the decision to resume direct peace negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis in Washington on September 2.
Turning to its agenda items, the Cabinet approved a memorandum of understanding signed in Doha on February 22, 2010; approved a scientific and educational memorandum of understanding between the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education and the Moroccan Ministry of National Education and Higher Education, Framework Formation and Scientific Study, signed in Riyadh on January 5, 2010; transferred responsibility for the Ein Zubaida water springs from the Ministry of Water and Electricity to the General Commission for Endowments; approved the accession of the Kingdom to the Metric Convention, signed in Paris on May 20, 1875; and approved the ethics of studying living creatures.

World War II exhibit on display at Columbia College
(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- A collection of letters and photos from World War II are on display at the Columbia College Stafford Library. The exhibit, "War in the First Person: Personal Narratives and Correspondence of U.S. Servicemen and Women," will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Sept. 4. The exhibit will also be open Labor Day weekend from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31.
Dr. Michael Polley, associate professor of history at Columbia College, helped assemble a display of letters from the Western Historical Manuscript Collection written to Father Albert Prokes, a St. Louis priest, from his parishioners in the Armed Forces during World War II. One such letter dated May 25, 1944, reads: "Dear Padre, Seabees [Navy engineers] don't get any of the glory and we don't want any of it. We know what our job is and we do it no matter how hard or dangerous it is." The letter is signed Red Kelley, New Guinea. The exhibit also includes photographs and scrapbooks from Lucia D'Agostino, reference librarian at Columbia College.
Polley believes historical exhibits such as these are important because they provide firsthand information about wartime experiences. "The collection gives us very vivid insight into the lives and experiences of military personnel," he said. "It helps us understand what the soldiers and sailors went through."
An expanded version of the exhibit is scheduled to open in November at Webster University in St. Louis. For more information, contact Polley at (573) 875-7620.
Columbia College, a private institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates 25,000 students worldwide.

What is the best budget-GPS under $90?
I got lost terribly in Cincinnati the other day and am never allowing it to happen again (ended up in the slummy ghetto part of town, ehh) and so I would like to buy a GPS. Issue is I want one that isn't horribly expensive and is highly recommended. I don't care about special features - I just want an easily read GPS with updated maps. Thanks!
5 Answers answer
My preference will always be Garmin. Can't go wrong with a factory refurbished. Bought one a couple of years ago for about 90 bucks. I like it better than the new one I bought previously for about 300 dollars.
@ojulius: From the little I've read Garmin seems pretty good; do you have a specific model you'd recommend? Perhaps the one you have?
my wife
@neokarny: I had to look it up. I ordered the Garmin nüvi 265T Bluetooth GPS in April of last year - refurbished. It was $104.97 with shipping, no sales tax. My stepdaughter uses it more than I do! Easy to use and has a lot of nice features. My nuvi 650 needs a new battery. The 265T is factory refurbished, has been used a lot, and I've never had any problems with it. Map updates can be pricey, but I've purchased lifetime map updates for both of them.
@mkentosh: Kudos to you sir. If I relied on my wife, we'd be lost somewhere right about now.

Does anyone have recommendations for great shoes for a long flight? I usually wear running shoes, but my feet often get very uncomfortable after a few hours.
locked by mindcorrosive♦ Aug 6 '13 at 12:46
This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
You might also want to look into a good pair of compression socks.
Also, take a look at this page for a list of exercises you can do on the plane to keep your blood flowing. I've found that "paying attention to my feet" helps keep them from swelling up in my shoes and makes them feel a bit less achey afterward.
These instructions will also help prevent DVT, incidentally.
I find slip-on shoes more comfortable on inter-continental flights as it allows me to take them off if I feel like it, and it's easy to wear them again without feet feeling sore. While I haven't used them, some people advocate wearing flight socks that prevent your feet and ankles from getting sore.
Most times when I fly with budget airlines though I don't have space to pack two pairs of shoes as I take only carry-on luggage. In this case, I wear my running shoes, but ask for an aisle seat during check-in which gives so much more space to stretch my legs. The same helps during long-haul flights too. I also check up SeatGuru for crowd-sourced data on what seats are best on a particular type of aircraft / airline and then ask for those ones during check-in.
I'm a fan of just taking off my shoes if I'm not wearing sandals.
For a long flight I would always go with flip-flops. When flying long distance carriers always provide a commodity bags where you can find some sockets. So basically if you are scared of getting cold (because it is cold up there) you can just put them on.
In order to be polite, I go until boarding with regular shoes and once in the place switch them.
I don't have room in my carryon for a set of shoes that are just for the airplane, so whatever I wear on the plane needs to also be what I wear in the airport. There's a lot of walking so it's vital the shoes be comfortable - I choose them carefully. Flat pumps work for me and they slip off on the plane if I want to tuck my feet up under me in my seat or just give them a bit of a rub. Tieing and untieing shoelaces in the cramped confines of an airplane seat is a non-starter for me. You can find pumps and get your feet into them even if you can't see them.
Whether or not the airline provides socks for you varies wildly. SAA is the only one I've got socks from in economy. Generally everyone gives them in business.
