Knexers who play call of duty 4 or 5 on wii.
Just wondering if any knexers play call of duty 4 or 5 online on the wii?
Hey. I know you posted this awhile back and the chances that you still play are really low, but I play cod 5 on wii a few times a week . I'm pretty new but I am getting pretty good at it. I'm also planning on getting Black ops for wii soon. Just thought I would tell you. My game name is either Drew1999, Drew99, or NewGuy.
lol, i play mw3 now. lol, dont get black ops for the wii, worst game ever made in the world! XD
Oh, Really. I played it on ps3 at a friends house and it didn't seem that bad. But I'll take your word for it. After all you probably know more about these games than I do. I'll see if I can get mw3 anytime soon. It was between those 2 and I just picked black ops because I had already played it once. Do you use the classic controller or classic controller pro for mw3?
Battlefield 3 + MW3 = Crazy, Realistic, War
Wii + gun games = Rubbish
megametal8 + that comment above = graphics fanboy
I did not mention graphics at all in the comment.
*Rolls eyes "Would people look at the date of comments"
*Rolls eyes "Would people look at the date of comments"
sorry for that.
Most comments i read about that subject were about the graphics of the wii.
again sorry
with this comment I give my sincere apologies for my behaviour and i shall never say that again
ps: sorry for the necroïng on my comment above

again sorry
with this comment I give my sincere apologies for my behaviour and i shall never say that again
ps: sorry for the necroïng on my comment above
Thankyou. Its not like the end of the world, ill sub u
ok, thanks for subbin'
i agree with you.
ach so...
that means something like ''ah, i get it'' in german
ok =D
PS3 or Xbox + gun games = :D
wii shooters ar more fun becus... You use real triggers and hold proper guns instead of just pushin buttons and you have to actually aim istead of just moving a stick. And dont go on about kinetic because that will suck because you hold nothing witch for me ruines the whole game.
Playstation move comes out soon which is like a wii remotes And I have seen some move zappers about
But with playststion move ( this is from all i know about it) you dont point at the screen
What?! It's literally wii remote with nunchuck But black and its got a changing colour ball on top of the main remote
But, you dont point at the screen with it because a blob of colour from the bulb comes up on the screen, ex... If you hold it face up the blob on the screen will still be there, if you put it in the bottem left of the screen and point it to the top right it wont move
You guys are still arguing over this? I laugh at the little kids who think the console you own matters. True gamers are the ones who have fun with what they play. Graphics don't make the game, gameplay does. The funny thing is that I could still have a good chance at beating you if I were to use a dual analog controller but you would horribly suck against Wii players if you first tried using the remote.
''True gamers are the ones who have fun with what they play. Graphics don't make the game, gameplay does. ''
That's very true
That's very true
Yup. I have a Wii and its great. An Xbox would be nice because all my friends have them and I'd be able to play online with them, but the Wii has some pretty good games. And, just my opinion, PlayStation is totally ripping off the Wii.
Theres only 3 things that would make the wii better than a ps3: Graphics, dvd(or blue-ray), be able to see when your friends are online.
What are you on about Here's a pic, It's like a wii remote
And here's a zapper
And here's a zapper
But you cant point with that
No , because how the move works is it detects the light coming from the remote,but because the made the light sorce sticking out in a bulb shape when you point nothing will happen becausr you arnt moving the bulb.
Yes you can point with it. it has motion sensors you know like the wii has! it uses the ball for telling you stuff and the 3D position read up before debating things
No, i have seen gamepkay with itand they just drag a blob across the screen,
so have iand you can "drag a blob across the screen" but you can also point. what do you have against the playstation move?
I dont have anything against playstation or pm. Just thought, does the sensor bar have leds in it??? If it doesnt then you cant point with it.
i dont know but i think it has motion sensors inside the remote.
what do you think about the kinect?
what do you think about the kinect?
Actually, I think Wii does better with gun games because of ability to point it at the screen. It makes it much easier to aim... Have you played one before anyway?
no, they are way better on xbox, especially nazi zombies der reise
You never answered the question. You can't say simply that they are better on Xbox without providing reason, and we are not talking about nazi zombie games, we are talking about COD5 and 6.
proper gamers play ps3 and xbox
Well said
You really do suck at debating. You can't just say 'proper gamers play PS3 and Xbox' you have to back up your points or else they all count for nothing other then opinion.
you make yourself look geeky if you do like a whole explanation
No it doesn't. That's just an excuse for not understanding what he said.
Go away, Who asked you? Who actually shouted "HEY JAMMY COME REPLY TO THIS COMMENT BY MEGAMETAL8?!" Your a month an a few weeks late anyway so go away
It's called a "comment". People "Comment" on the situation, what they see, what they like or disagree with. Therefore, I was perfectly within my rights to reply. I don't need to be asked. I won't go away really, I'm just as entitled to explore this site as you are.
There's also a be nice policy But i don't think you've ever heard of it?!
"you make yourself look geeky if you do like a whole explanation" Bloody Hypocrite.
And so what if I look geeky, thats way better then some fat tool like you.
Hey now, it's video gaming... the idea is to have fun. No one else can tell you what's fun so let's not fight about it, hmm?
nazi zombies is in cod 5, xbox has better graphics, more detailed, better gameplay, more fluid movement..... the list is never ending. throw away your toy (Wii) and get a real console (Xbox 360/Ps3).
Yeah, but the controls are for couch potatoes! What Xbox game can you shoot at zombies WHILE ACTUALLY AIMING at the screen? What Xbox game is available in true 3D? Who wants to spend $40 buying games/movies off Xboxlive with microsoft points while you can spend $1 getting 1000 Wii points, and 2000 Wii points buys you a proper full game! Xbox may have better graphics, but you can't say more detailed, have you played Red Steel 2? Silent Hill: Shattered memories? Super Mario Galaxy? Also not all the games on Xbox would be more detailed, at least 60% would be horrible games, even though the same thing occurs with the Wii. Better gameplay? Are you joking? Come on, lying sideways on a couch craning your neck hammering at buttons is better than swinging a sword with real true proper movements (See RedSteel2)? I disagree. More fluid movement? The Wii is actually quite powerful with up to 70FPS and a 128bit video card? I'm not denying that the Xbox and the PS3 are powerful, but you can't say the Wii isn't.
i have played super mario galaxy... and beat it. wii is just not on the same level as ps3 and xbox. wii is a toy, xbox and ps3 are consoles.
Just because you hate one game dosnt mean you can hate the console...
Ive played many wii games and i have a wii. it sucks. Xbox 360 is where its at.
What wii games have you been on then
Supersmash bros brwal, mario galaxy 1+2, wii fit, wii sports, shaun white snowboarding, that sonic ring game, wii play, remington duckhunt, COD 5, and many more....
I dont like any of those ganes except super smash bros and cod5. Lots if the games suck on wii but still some are awsome
OMG so because you have beat the game means it sucks? That is your opinion. Everything you say is opinion because you don't provide reason.
The Wii is less powerful. The cotrolls are less fluid. it is a good idea, but it needs to be refined. and thats where the psp move and the xbox kinect will come in.
thank you someone who agrees with me XBOX + PS3 = =D WII = :(
Have a look at the above comment of mine.
have you even tried them?
i know its necroïng, but i play cod 5+7 on wii. if you want to add mem my names are: mike on 5 and [nl] mike on 7

5 Of Life's Most Mundane Problems (Solved With Math)
Finding the ultimate solution to a problem is every scientist's dream, as the ensuing Science Kahuna Award attracts great peer reverence and preferential funding. But not everyone can discover the cure for cancer, which is why a whole lot of scientists opt to research other, more mundane things ... like toast or handshakes.
#5. Perfect Toast and Pancakes
You wake up to a new day with a pang of ravenous hunger. It's clear that your normal breakfast of Cheerios and NyQuil isn't going to cut it this time. What you need is some serious carb loading -- a bushel of crunchy, greasy toast or a giant stack of fluffy pancakes. The only problem is your unrealistically high breakfast standards; you're simply too hungover to endure the disappointment of a soggy pancake. Do you have anything, science?
As a matter of fact, yes. There are renegade mathematicians who have devoted their entire professional lives to developing the perfect breakfast food ... and they are very good at what they do.
"Now, we dissolve the excess calcium with a little hydrofluoric acid, and ... breakfast!"
To find the perfect toasted bread, researchers painstakingly toasted more than 2,000 pieces of sliced bread in what must have been the most blatant abuse of grant money since the Hooters and Lube Squirt Gun Experiment. They found that there are certain specific conditions that the best toast in the world must meet. The bread must be exactly 0.55 inches thick. It must be toasted in a 900-watt toaster that is maintained at a steady heat of 309.2 degrees Fahrenheit for exactly three minutes and 36 seconds. Finally, the King of All Toast must be gently moved to a plate that is warmed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal condensation and slathered with 0.44 grams of butter per square inch.
Well there you go, time to meet the Godhead of all Toastkind and -- aw, shit, all you have is rye? Damn. Well, that's clearly inedible. How about that perfect pancake formula? The problem with pancakes is not the recipe -- anyone can mix up a half-decent batter. The hard part is the flipping. Good thing, then, that scientists have figured out the perfect way to do it. Here's how:
"Dad, you have to stop chanting that formula every time I try to help out with breakfast."
Oh, right. Obviously. We can clearly see that "L" indicates the hand's distance from the inner edge of the pancake, "H" is the height of the flip and "D" is the diameter of the pancake. Still, we can't help but feel that the vast majority of humanity isn't ready to wrestle with equations before their morning coffee, especially when attempting to flip a flat lump of scalding batter.
Luckily, scientists aren't complete dicks, so they've come up with an alternate method of pancake flippery:
You're really fucking with our morning, science.
#4. The Most Effective Handshake
From those jackasses who take pride in their ability to squash the other person's hand into pulp to the clammy, vaguely fishlike dudes who leave you longing for a shower, there's no question that your handshake says a lot about you. Hell, an unwisely executed handshake both can and absolutely will change the tide of an entire election.
Via Theaustralian.com.au
"I'm the dom, and you'd bloody well better accept it."
Knowing this, it's no surprise that politicians in particular have expressed interest in harnessing the untapped power of the perfect handshake. John F. Kennedy was particularly keen on handshake theory, even commissioning a personal study to find the best methods. He took the results to heart and promptly became Shakemaster Extraordinaire. His secret was to maintain eye contact, keep the grip, and shake in careful control while using specific speech patterns and memory tricks to enhance the effect. Kennedy even devised himself a special move, like a handshake Hadouken: He liked to cup his free hand over the handshake, thus giving subtle hints of a deep level of trust and intimacy between the parties. The overall result was that a three-second handshake with JFK could deliver more information than a whole dinner date with a lesser handshakist, and carried a lot more promise of hanky-panky later.
Via Otrcat.com
"You brought condoms, right? Actually, never mind, I have an assistant."
Geoffrey Beattie, head of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester, later brought Kennedy's techniques closer to the common man by coming up with an actual scientific formula for ridiculous mastery over the clasping of hands. While the formula itself is as convoluted as you'd imagine, it is luckily also available in handy chart form:
At what point is head-butting appropriate?
The rules are pretty much the same for everyone, regardless of age and gender: a complete grip and a carefully firm squeeze in a midpoint position between yourself and the other person, with no more than three or four shakes of medium vigor. The palm should be cool and dry to prevent the ick factor, and eye contact must be kept throughout. Cap that off with a natural smile and some carefully selected rhetoric, and voila! You are now that person's master, and they will do your bidding without question.
#3. The Sexiest Way to Dance (for Guys)
Dancing plays an important part in many species' courtship rituals. Humans are no different -- even though most of us suck at it so badly that we have to be drunk to even consider the option.
That's why European scientists, notorious dance floor dominators, wanted to give other men a fighting chance by scientifically determining the sexiest dance moves. They did this by recruiting a bunch of young men, hooking up electrodes all over their bodies and capturing their movements on the computer screen, Gollum style. The subjects were then instructed to dance to their hearts' content, a feat made no less challenging by the fact that their thrusting and grooving was keenly observed by a bunch of elderly gentlemen in lab coats.
The dances were then evaluated and judged by members of the opposite sex. To restrain the men's individual attractiveness from affecting the results (and to further up the creepiness factor), each dance was performed by a faceless, soulless computer avatar.
Lady Gaga? OH, BURN!
From the results, the researchers were able to determine and construct the absolute best manner of male dancing. It looks like this:
Yes, men of the world, according to science, that little choreographed number that looks like the clinically stupid offspring of the Swim and the Cabbage Patch is officially the sexiest way to strut your stuff. The particular tricks that were deemed to catch women's attention include gyrating your neck, torso and right knee in wide, varied motions while -- in a shocking twist for all Lambada enthusiasts out there -- not gyrating your pelvis.
In short, the most attractive way to dance is stumbling around like a drunken asshole ... but rhythmically. Incidentally, the study also found the worst dancing style available to man. If you feel like you can't keep up with the Swimming Cabbage up there, you can at least minimize the damage by avoiding these moves:
Otherwise known as the Cracked Party Shuffle.

I'm using the US Model 16GB version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (I747), however, I cannot mount it to my laptop from some reason. I have tried using both FTP and MTP connections, but neither work.
What should I do?
There have been several projects to bring MTP support to Linux during the recent months. Here is a quick overview:
The best solution would be to use GVFS via the recently released GVFS-MTP-backend to mount your Android phone. There are two PPAs with a newer GVFS version.
You could use go-mtpfs to mount your Android phone.
Install needed packages and get the source:
Add yourself to the group fuse (after that log out and log in again):
Create a folder for your Android phone and mount it with go-mtpfs into that folder:
Unmout your Android phone (wait for the end of file operations):
Source: http://linuxundich.de/de/android/mit-go-mtpfs-unter-linux-auf-android-handys-via-mtp-zugreifen/
You could use jmtpfs to mount your Android phone.
Download jmtpfs, unpack and change into directory:
Add yourself to the group fuse (after that log out and log in again):
Install needed packages, compile and install (for checkinstall questions hit enter) jmtpfs:
Create a folder for your Android phone and mount it with jmtpfs into that folder:
Unmout your Android phone (wait for the end of file operations):
Source: http://linuxundich.de/de/ubuntu/mit-jmtpfs-mtp-gerate-wie-das-galaxy-nexus-oder-das-samsung-galaxy-siii-in-ubuntu-mounten/
It's not worth it. Use something like SSHDriod and then connect over ssh. There are also FTP servers and even Driod NAS that gives cifs access. MTP does not work well, and likely will continue to not work well for the near future.
If you really want to get mtp working then make sure you set your Nexus to NEVER lock the screen or power off the screen. Locking the screen with "lock" the MTP protocal as well, causing all manor of data loss and connection issues. Powering off the screen in the stock kernel (might even be hardware) will turn the CPU down as much as it can and enable tons of other strong power saving features, that will result in horrid (but still working) transfers.
MTP is a Microsoft technology and is not officially supported on Linux. I've tried Mtp-Tools many times too, without success. If you consider an alternate method though, I've two recommendations:
This indicates that for Ice Cream Sandwich, Ubuntu file transfer is as simple as ticking the PTP checkbox. In a few seconds you are browsing the filesystem in Nautilus.
Pictures taken directly from: Source
As Dan mentioned, a wireless file transfer app like AirDroid is a good solution.
These apps fall into two subcategories:
Such an app is fine for small files but for transferring HD movies, you would need hours or days. Max transfer speed on Ubuntu is about up to 260KB/s (for some reason) while on Windows 7 it's about up to 1MB/s.
There's gMTP which is available in the app store, but chances are it won't work for your Galaxy S3 - it doesn't work on mine, most of the time. (You have to wait out the app hanging; it looks like it crashes whenever you interact with the app but if it recovers, then you know it works.)
If you need speed, the best solution is the one posted by BuZZ-dEE, although the original source is English:
You'll need to be comfortable with the terminal, compiling programs from source code and editing source code, though. If anyone needs a walkthrough, let me know.
I would recommend 'Go-mtpfs'. There are two ways to use this program that I should explain.
Using the terminal
If you want to use the program via the terminal or if you simply hate unity.
Using the custom Unity Launcher
Enjoy your android device that now works perfectly on Ubuntu :D.
This post is similar to the first one you linked, but the steps are a bit different. It might help to give it a try.
The steps are summarized below for convenience.
When you are finished with whatever you are transferring, run the following command to unmount your Nexus 7 before unplugging it:
And in case that didn't work...
...you can take a look at a supposedly more reliable way to connect here.
If your computer and Nexus are on the same wifi network, you can use an app called AirDroid. It's free
I hope this helps.
Add the raring repositories to sources.list and
After this I can browse the filesystem on a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2, using Nautilus.
Note that the apt-get pulls in quite a few packages from Raring including a new libc6.
this works great for getting the android 4.2.2 phones to show up in 12.04 Ubuntu.
Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list to add raring then install gvfs. It took a few attempts to get apt to install everything (apt-get -f install). I may have borked something else, but for now this particular problem is resolved.
I followed the steps mentioned on the post u link, and worked fine for me, but i mounted using sudo command before the mount.. another thing i pluged the device before doing all the steps. and now is working fine.. Also check that ur device have enable the option USB computer connection, there i selected Media device (MTP). That's all i have done.. hope u can make it work soon. Regards
I have an LG P880 and I have created a directory inside "Pictures" and named it "ptp" then I connect my device as PTP, and copy files to pictures/ptp
There's one little problem though, I couldn't see a transfer dialog while copying files, so, I think you need to estimate time.. for me, I compress big files into little piece and wait for them to appear on the other side, then remove device after a while.
Then, of course, open any file manager and move/extract files to desired location. I use this method all the time..
Got it working with my Nexus 4 by installing the newest version of libmtp from launchpad. The version for Raring Ringtail works fine on my 12.04 system. The instructions stay the same as in your tutorial.
Edit: Although it works, it's painfully slow... I'm right now copying with 7 kb/s
Edit2: Nvm, it got up to 350 kb/s, which is acceptable I presume.
Is your Android device password protected and locked? I found I was getting the error:
because I hadn't entered the password. Once I authenticated on the device, I could connect.
Makes complete sense when you think about it. You shouldn't be able to just grab a device you don't have a password for and connect to it via computer.

Advantage of this method: you likely already need SSH to log into a shell in the android phone.
Downside: it is less powerful than mounting a network folder. E.g., if you browse to an audio file, and click it, the music player will see the

TEMPLE (November 5, 2012)—Veterans enrolled in the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System are not only able to get a free flu vaccination at the VA hospitals in Temple and Waco through Friday, but can also get vaccinated without having to get out of their cars.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, veterans can make use of the drive-through vaccination clinic in Temple at the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center on Veterans Memorial Drive.
Veterans are asked to drive through the Valet Parking area from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The drive-through clinic was started several years ago to assist veterans who have mobility problems, keeping them from having to get in and out of their cars and hunt for a parking space.
Plans are in the works to offer a drive-through clinic in Waco later in November; however, a date has not yet been set.

Wikipedia lists the world records and extremes of the vocal range,
can extrema be reached by a lot of practice or were they born with that?
Wikipedia lists the world records and extremes of the vocal range,
Overall vocal type (e.g. soprano vs contralto or tenor vs bass) seems to be what you were born with and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_type#Classifying_singers warns of the dangers of misclassification of vocal type, and by implication, attempting to sing at the extremes of one's natural range.
Practice is certainly required to reach the expected range of one's natural vocal type and even then, I think it's easier to extend upward than downward. My own comfortable range without practice used to be G2 to C4 or D4 but when I was regularly singing in a choir was more like F2 to F4 or G4. It would likely have been dangerous to go higher and physically impossible to go lower.
I would think practice should be more about increasing tessitura than absolute range. However, my experience is entirely as a chorist and not as a solo singer.

Full term has been reached and your baby's features are now very clearly formed. To a certain extent from now on your baby is simply growing and putting on weight-factors necessary to provide energy after birth and help with temperature control.
Probably the most effective way to remember as much as you can about your labor and the birth of your baby is to try to remain as healthy and rested as possible prior to the start of your labor; this will give you the best chance of staying strong and clear-headed throughout.
Feeling strong and having plenty of energy may also help you remain upright and active during the course of your labor, reducing the need for pain relief such as Demerol (see Tranquilizers), which can sometimes cause memory loss that makes it more difficult to remember the finer details of the birth. It's also helpful to have your birth partner with you throughout your labor so that he or she can help to fill in any blanks later. Photographs and videos are also good prompts.
After the birth, if you find that there are parts you can't remember, you can ask your doctor to let you see your birth notes. You might want to write up your experience in a journal.
When you get closer to the birth, and especially during labor, you will find that there is inevitably more contact with health professionals. These individuals are a source of reassurance and a font of knowledge, but as a male you may sometimes feel that you're being sidelined or that your opinion doesn't count. This can be very frustrating if you want to be highly involved in the pregnancy and birth.
Bear in mind that the health professionals are trying to provide care for the person who needs it the most-namely your partner. If you want to be heard, it's a good idea to write down any questions that you may have before you meet with health professionals. Labor nurses will make every effort to help you to feel involved, and support you in supporting your partner.
Try to keep in mind that the most important relationship your partner has is with you, and that a positive attitude on your part can make a substantial difference to your partner's pregnancy and birth. So be patient and persistent but not pushy.
Being hypnotized during pregnancy can make you more confident in the lead-in to labor.
A study found that first-time pregnant women also experienced a shorter labor. The average amount of time they pushed in the second stage was one hour, compared with the usual two hours for a first baby.

Spider.pl doesn't know the title of the page it fetches, that's part of the content. The only thing spider.pl knows is text/html is an html document and that it needs to extract links from the content. I'm not clear what you are asking. But I'll ramble on in my normal way... True there's no header you can pass in as the title. If you want swish to index a title in an HTML document you just add <title> to the content. If you are indexing XML, and you can say <xml> <swishtitle>Title</swishtitle> ... </xml> And swish will see that as store the title as swishtitle, and return it as the title along with the <title>'s from HTML docs. If you are indexing XML and you have something like <xml> <title>Title</title> ... </xml> But you want to index that as swishtitle, you can use PropertyNamesAlias (or whatever it's called) to say that "title" is an alias for "swishtitle". I suppose you could also say in HTML: <meta name="swishtitle" content="title"> and get the title stored in the index under the swishtitle propertyname. Actually, I think there's some confusing issues with ranking. The HTML parser marks words as where they appear, and that info is used somewhat in ranking. In config.h #define RANK_TITLE 4.0 #define RANK_HEADER 3.0 #define RANK_META 3.0 #define RANK_COMMENTS 1.0 #define RANK_EMPHASIZED 0.0 So a title indexed in a real <title> will rank higher that a title entered in a metaname in HTML. And with XML, IIRC, there's not a value assigned, so the XML document with a "title" would rank lower. But I doubt that's what you were asking about. Can you rephrase your question?

Recently I am reading Professor Bressoud's book "Proofs and confirmations"。And chapter 4 of his book is about using Schur functions to prove Macmahon's conjecture on symmetric plane partitions: compute the genetaring function for plane partitions in box $B(r,r,t)$ that are symmetric about their first two coorbinates. His method is Macdonald's, which employs Weyl's determinant on root systems. The crucial step is to prove the following equation and put the right end into a product of the $x_i$'s.
$$\sum_{\lambda\subseteq \{t^r\}} s_{\lambda}(x_1,\cdots,x_r) = \frac{\det(x_i^{j-1}-x_i^{t+2r-j})}{\det(x_i^{j-1}-x_i^{2r-j})}.$$
where $\lambda$ runs over all partions contained in a $r\times t$ rectangle.
The proof in quite "tedious",because it involves a determinant expansion and their are a bunch of transformations of the summations. But with the RSK correspondence, its not hard to prove this identity:
$$\sum_{\lambda} s_{\lambda}(x_1,\cdots,x_r)=\prod_{i=1}^r\frac{1}{1-x_i}\frac{1}{1-x_ix_j}$$
here $\lambda$ runs over all partitions whose length is $\leq r$. (I learned this in Stanley's book ) and what we really want is the following
$$\sum_{\lambda\subseteq \{t^r\}} s_{\lambda}(x_1,\cdots,x_r) =?$$
(it's good to have a product of the $x_i$'s at the right hand.) So my questions is, can we find a more direct way to proof Macmahon's conjecture with the help of RSK correspondence, especially find a nicer way to express the
$$\sum_{\lambda} s_{\lambda}(x_1,\cdots,x_r)?$$

I'm extremely new to crypto, and very much inexperienced. Lately I've been reading about the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange methods, and specifically about the computational diffie-hellman assumption vs. decision diffie-hellman assumption. Specifically I'm referencing Dan Boneh's paper on DDH problem. However, I'm having some trouble understanding the difference between CDH and DDH. What are the differences? Similarities?
The Computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem is:
The Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) problem is:
These are obviously related problems, the difference is that the CDH problem asks us to derive the DH shared secret, while the DDH problem just asks us to recognize it.
In addition, the CDH problem appears to be potentially harder, in this sense: if we're given an oracle to solve the CDH problem, we can easily solve the DDH problem (simply by handing $g$, $g^a$ and $g^b$ to the oracle, have it compute the value $g^{ab}$ and comparing that value to $g^c$. In contrast, there's no known generic way to solve the CDH problem given a DDH oracle.
As for why the DDH problem comes up so often (and in cases where one would naively expect the CDH problem to to appropriate), well, many protocols do a DH-type computation, and then use the value $F(g^{ab})$ (for some function $F$); breaking the protocol may allow an attacker to recover the value $F(g^{ab})$. Now, recovering this value would allow us to solve the DDH problem (by comparing that value to $F(g^c)$); hence, breaking the protocol would allow us to solve the DDH problem; or equivalently, if the DDH problem is hard, the protocol is secure. However, if the function $F$ is one-way, recovering the value $F(g^{ab})$ doesn't give us the value $g^{ab}$, and so there is no reduction of the security of the protocol to the CDH problem.

Palladino: Forgotten milestones
It is the most significant individual accomplishment for a high school athlete: 1,000 points in a basketball career. Virtually all high school gymnasiums display banners or record boards that list the names and point totals of all 1,000-point scorers.
In recent days we have uncovered two city 1,000-pointers whose career totals have gone unrecognized.
The first came on a tip from Jay Seay, an All-NVL and two-time All-City player at Wilby. He noticed that a friend, Daphne Nichols, did not have her name on Crosby's 1,000-point banner. "Daphne has pointed that out to me," Seay said.
The second player is Barbara Love. Her name appeared in a recent Republican-American sports feature, Looking Back. In 1988, Love scored her 1,000th career point and grabbed her 1,000th career rebound in the same game, the first Wilby girls basketball player to pull off the career double.
But like Nichols, Love's name is not found on the Wilby all-time points scoreboard.
"I guess we just slipped through the cracks," Love said.
That crack is about to close. Both athletic directors, Dave Ieronimo at Crosby and Steve Baldwin at Wilby, said that steps will be taken to recognize both Nichols and Love.
"I think it is about time," Nichols said. "We earned it, and we should be recognized."
Barbara Love, 44, needs to get her name on the Wilby board just to prove it to her daughter. Love's daughter is Za'Nayia Love, a junior on the Crosby girls team. She led the NVL in scoring last season, and is currently averaging 17 ppg for the Bulldogs. She will reach the 1,000-point mark sometime in her senior season, just like mom, right?
"My daughter said to me, 'Mommy, you told me you scored 1,000 points, but where's the proof?'" Barbara Love said.
Every time Love is back in Wilby's Reggie O'Brien Gymnasium she looks up at the board, and wonders what happened to her total.
"I have called the school to ask," she said.
On the night of Jan. 15, 1988, Barbara Love's first rebound was the 1,000th of her career. Later in the game against Watertown she scored her 1,000th point. By totaling points in box scores reported to the newspaper, we arrived at 1,213 career points for Love.
Nichols' final career total is still a mystery. She graduated from Crosby in 1982. At the time, girls high school sports were an afterthought in the newspaper. Basketball box scores were listed every day for boys, but not girls.
Nichols still has the newspaper clipping, from Jan. 31, 1982, that chronicled the milestone. She entered the game with 995 career points and scored 12 in a victory over Naugatuck. In her next game, Nichols scored 15 in a victory over Lee High of New Haven.
But her name does not appear in game summaries for Crosby's final five games, and a CIAC first-round tournament loss to Amity was never reported to the newspaper.
The Crosby girls were coached by the late Bernie Gilliam. No one, and that includes school officials, knows what became of the scorebooks. At present, we do not have an exact career total for Nichols.
In the All-NVL girls basketball announcement story, Nichols' bio said that she is the first ever Crosby girl to score 1,000 points, but no total is given. Using her season scoring average (15 ppg), and the 1,000-point story, we have come up with a number: 1,112.
The number is a guess. The final total could be more, it could be less. If anyone knows who holds the scorebooks, or if you have a scrapbook that could pin down a final total, let us know, or contact the Crosby athletic department.
Nichols, now age 50, was Crosby's first 1,000-point girls scorer. Antoinette Brown later became the school's all-time leader, but Nichols was the first.
Her two sons played high school basketball, Marquest Redding at Sacred Heart and Mark Redding at Holy Cross. And dad, Mark Redding, was a All-City at Sacred Heart in 1981.
But mom is the family's only 1,000-point scorer.
"I never paid attention to the record," Nichols said, "but my family did. I played the game because I loved the game. And when I was done in high school I hung up the uniform."
Now, more than 30 years later, it is time to hang her name up on the Crosby banner.
"I was the first," Nichols said. "I would like to be recognized."
She's right, she should, and she will.

MARTINS FERRY After receiving the Spotlight Dealership award from the Members Only Autogroup, Staffilino Chevrolet presented a $2,000 check to the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days Program.
Between Nov. 1-5 , Staffilino donated $50 for each car sold to the American Cancer Society. They also donated proceeds from a special drawing to the cause.
"We (chose) the American Cancer Society because we have lost five family members to cancer over the years and we felt it was a very good cause," Joseph Staffilino said.
Chelsea Edwards, staff partner for the American Cancer Society, said she was overwhelmed by Staffilino's generosity. The $2,000 donation will sponsor the American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days of Belmont County, a new campaign for the area.
"When I was given the opportunity to start a Daffodil Days campaign here in the Ohio Valley, I knew it would be a success because of people like Richie Vince (sales manager at Staffilino) and the Staffilino family. This donation shows the generosity and heart that the people of Belmont County have," Joseph Staffilino said.
Daffodil Days is one of the American Cancer Society's oldest and most beloved fundraising programs. Since 1973, Daffodil Days has empowered people everyone from school children to corporate CEOs to make a difference in the fight against cancer by raising funds and awareness to help beat the disease, according to officials.
The daffodil is the first flower of spring and is the perennial American Cancer Society symbol of hope for cancer patients throughout the community. The dollars raised through Daffodil Days enable the American Cancer Society to save more lives and create more birthdays by helping people get well and stay well by finding cures and fighting back, officials said.
Last year in the East Central Division, more than $4 million was raised and more than 16,000 daffodil orders were placed. Belmont County will add to that success in 2012 with a new campaign.
"In the past, Daffodil Days has been a fundraiser available to our Relay For Life teams. We are so excited to make Daffodil Days a stand-alone effort in Belmont County and watch how much it grows," said Edwards.
Daffodil Days orders will arrive during the week of March 19. Anyone in Belmont County interested in taking orders at their place of business, worship or their school should contact Chelsea Edwards at (888) 227-6446 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A friend asked me for a brief description of the general guidelines for writing Chinese characters. What are the simplest ways to describe those "rules" that apply across most characters?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The best place to start is with the Wikipedia entry on stroke order. It lists these guidelines, along with more detail and some nice animated examples:
In my experience, you don't need to panic about the details of each character, and there is sometimes disagreement about the "correct" order. If you learn the general guidelines, you won't usually make embarrassing mistakes. If you do want to see the details of a specific character, there are lots of on-line resources. Here are the two I most often use:
Although those are the two I use most often, the stroke order reference I find most beautiful and readable is the Wikimedia Commons Stroke Order Project, specifically, the Black and White images. Here's an example:
They're much easier for me to use than an animation, because they are static images. I can scan back and forth with my eye, instead of waiting for the animation to cycle through. I used them as the inspiration for my Mnemosyne flash card files. Mine aren't quite as pretty, because they are automatically generated, but they have the added feature of a grid to guide your stroke placement.
I just discovered the Stroke Fanning reference. It's very compact (500 characters on a two-page PDF), but I still find the Wikimedia Commons format much more intuitive to read.

WACO (February 11, 2013)—Ricky Lee Turner, 30, of Gatesville was in the McLennan County Jail Monday, charged with aggravated assault and failure to stop and render aid in a hit-and-run accident in January that left a motorcyclist critically injured.
Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested Turner on Friday, police said Monday.
He was ordered held in lieu of bonds totaling $75,000.
The motorcyclist, Victor Padilla, 30, has been in Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center since the hit-and-run on Jan. 11.
Padilla was riding a 2009 Harley Davidson motorcycle north on Old Lorena Road approaching Highway 84 when the driver of a Ford F-250 pickup truck pulling a cattle trailer west on the highway ran a red light.
Padilla's motorcycle struck the left side of the trailer.
The driver of the pickup didn't stop after the accident.
Gatesville police later found the truck in Gatesville and authorities said evidence of the crash was from both the truck and trailer.

LISTEN who's gonna be on tonight. I might decide to Beast some Gaylo.
Not cool killing argentinins for their livers of beef
What's wrong with American beef liver?
2 to 3 grams per pill. Doesn't say exactly on the bottle but google says 2 to 3.
I usually shove 6 in my mouth and swallow. Wut?
Consider me a convert. After watching some more of his vids you guys have posted, Pres is amazing.
Team Regicide is awesome, that is what we are going to play tonight ZP and Jdawg.
BadStar is too busy lately playing by himself, neglecting my calls. Not even looking at his beeper I gave him.
Dude at work has multiple empty Mountain Dew boxes in the back of his truck, along with other junk. I refuse to ask him if I can have them though. "Yo, can I have some of your trash? It's for a video game." Nope.
It's Juggernaut from Halo 3. In Team Regicide the highest scoring player on each team is the king, killing them nets the team 25 points(the player gets 15 points to their personal score) while killing regular folk is 10 points, first to 650 points win. If the current king lives for over 30 seconds they get an overshield.
There are Ordance drops on the map, no personal ones though.
Me, ZP, and Aborto are on.
At this juncture I probably won't be on until Wednesday night. I had to focus on the Game last night and tonight it's Far Cry 3 on PC bishes.
990 assists until I get a groovy visor.
What's this? Someone infringing on my Patents!

[caption id="attachment_455" align="alignnone" width="300"] Richard Savary's Modified efforts turned around quickly when he hired Joey Kourafas as his crew chief (Credit: Richard Savary photo)[/caption]
By Lou Modestino
Richard Savary used a different approach Friday night breaking away from the norm. He charged to the front from his 11th starting position, challenged early front runners Tom Carey Jr., and Todd Szegedy to take the lead on lap 55 and go to win the Valenti Modified Racing Series sanctioned �Port City 100� at Lee USA Speedway, Friday night, June 27.
The win was the Canton, Massachusetts driver's second this season and his third career VMRS victory.
Instead of doing what most drivers do when competing at Lee, hang back and save their tires for the second half of the race, Savary changed his strategy and ran hard early on to put himself in contention for the lead.
�This is the first time here for all of us with this new right rear tire so nobody knew what it was really going to do. I took a page out of the Steve Masse book. He seems to get to the front and try to hang there. I thought I�d give that a try tonight. Late in the race we had good clean restarts. Hard racing. I think if the 21 (Bonsignore) was in front of me I would have had my hands full but I�m glad it was someone like him driving the car behind me.�
Savary continued, �We weren�t very good in practice so we made a lot of changes. We rode and then got to the front. I have to thank Justin (Bonsignore) for being a gentleman. I got a little aggressive with him for a couple of laps when we were racing for the lead. He gave it back to me going into three and four for the white (flag). That�s racing. I tried to give him as much room as I could on the outside but I wasn�t going to give up either.�
We were in the Savary pit area at Lee when Savary's crew chief Joey Kourafas of Randolph, MA spotted a right rear going flat. "Right know I'm concerned about that flat tire," said Joey. �Fixing that tire among other adjustments before the main event was key to Richard Savary's performance during the 100 lap feature event.
Holtsville, NY �driver Bonsignore came on late in the race to pressure Savary for the win. Bonsignore showed frustration in victory lane.
� I�m tired of finishing second, that�s four out of seven this year. We�ll just continue with consistency to get ourselves back�in it. That�s the first time here with the MRS so I�m pretty happy�
Bonsignore also voiced frustration when talking about making a bid for the lead.
�Gotta find where the rules are here. I mean I was up there against the wall down there in (turn) one and had him beat. Can�t be upset with second but when your going for the lead you got to be a little more consistent. We�ll go to Monadnock (July 5) and try and get the win.�
Steve Masse, of Bellingham, MA., finished third. Not the kind of night he hoped based on his game plan.
�Usually here people save tires and go slow so I thought I�d switch it up a bit and pick the pace up..It really didn�t work out. We didn�t have the best car tonight. A third place finish is still good and we�ll take it.�
Dwight Jarvis, of Ascutney, VT, made another of his late race charges to finish fourth, with Rowan Pennink, of Huntingdon Valley, PA, rounding out the top five.
Sixth through tenth were, Chris Pasteryak, David Schneider, Carey, Donnie Lashua, and Max Zachem.
Qualifying heat winners were Lashua, and Szegedy. Lashua was substituting for Todd Owen.
18 cars entered the event. 15 finished on the lead lap.
The race was completed in 32 minutes, 35 seconds with only two caution flags needed for minor spins.
The series moves to the Monadnock Speedway, Winchester, NH, Saturday night, July 5, for the Firecracker 100.

STEUBENVILLE - City Council members will meet Sept. 3 to start telephone interviews with the five final candidates for the city manager job.
Third Ward Councilman Greg Metcalf said council met Wednesday evening for 90 minutes in executive session to narrow the list of applicants from six to five people.
"We will start contacting the five final candidates to make sure they are still interested in the manager's job and to schedule them for a telephone interview prior to the Sept. 3 sunshine council meeting," Metcalf said following the private meeting.
"We are still moving forward and I believe we will meet the Sept. 14 deadline," he added.
Metcalf said he anticipates a citizens review committee will become involved in the search process when the final candidates are invited to the city for interviews.
Each council member has selected a representative for the citizens' review committee.
Council started advertising for the vacant position in June following Cathy Davison's resignation from the job on May 13 ending her 38-month tenure.
Metcalf said 34 people submitted applications for the position.
The job advertisement said the city has a population of 18,000 residents and has an annual budget of $11.3 million.
The charter states the city manager will "be responsible for complete operation of a full-service city and all service and safety departments. The salary is open and the successful applicant shall, within six months of appointment, establish and maintain residence in Steubenville."
The city charter requires applicants to possess an "undergraduate degree in public administration, business administration or related field and have at least two years of experience as a city manager or assistant city manager or in the alternative have at least 10 years of experience as a city manager."
According to the city charter, "Once the applicant is chosen, the said applicant must be on the job within 30 days from the date he or she is hired."
Mayor Domenick Mucci is currently serving as acting city manager.

Shoulder replacement is surgery to replace the bones of the shoulder joint with artificial joint parts.
Total shoulder arthroplasty; Endoprosthetic shoulder replacement; Partial shoulder replacement; Partial shoulder arthroplasty; Replacement - shoulder; Arthroplasty - shoulder
You will receive anesthesia before this surgery. Two types of anesthesia can be used:
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The round end of the arm bone fits into the opening at the end of the shoulder blade, called the socket. This type of joint allows you to move your arm in most directions.
For total shoulder replacement, the round end of your arm bone will be replaced with an artificial stem that has a rounded metal head. The socket part (glenoid) of your shoulder blade will be replaced with a smooth plastic shell (lining) that will be held in place with a special cement. If only 1 of these 2 bones needs to be replaced, the surgery is called a partial shoulder replacement, or a hemiarthroplasty.
For shoulder joint replacement, your surgeon will make an incision (cut) over your shoulder joint to open up the area. Then your surgeon will:
Your surgeon may place a tube in this area to drain fluid that may build up in the joint. The drain will be removed when you no longer need it.
This surgery usually takes 1 - 3 hours.
Shoulder replacement surgery is usually done when you have severe pain in the shoulder area, which limits your ability to move your arm. Causes of shoulder pain include:
Your doctor may not recommend this surgery if you have:
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risk of any surgery are:
Risks of shoulder replacement surgery are:
Tell your doctor or nurse what medicines you are taking. This includes medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Shoulder replacement surgery relieves pain and stiffness for most people. You should be able to resume your normal daily activities without much problem. Many people are able to return to sports such as golf, swimming, gardening, bowling, and others.
Your new shoulder joint will last longer if less stress is placed on it. With normal use, a new shoulder joint can last for at least 10 years.

The public got their first look inside the St. Jude Dream Home today.
The home estimated to be worth $350,000 could be yours if you decide to try your luck by purchasing a $100 ticket!
Todd Bratcher, Ashley Furniture Home store Designer, says even though it's only the first preview weekend they've had a great response from the public about the construction and design of the home.
"We kind of wanted a cottage feel, but with a little bit of a twist, a little bit of a modern aspect mingled in with that. I think we accomplished that with the house the furniture the accessories. It all just blends together really well," says Bratcher.
You can visit the house located on Chapman Court inside the Cumberland Ridge subdivision on Saturdays beginning at 9a.m. and Sundays at noon.
You can also purchase tickets on site and the winner will be drawn right here on WBKO on September 15th.

It can be found for example in the YouTube and Facebook app.
What is this side menu called that can be found in many multi-touch apps, and where does it originate from?
I believe the going name for it is a Hamburger Menu, as a reference to the icon that's commonly used for it (, similar to the Unicode character
A bit of discussion on what I believe to be the proper usage of the term:
The menu itself is nothing new; sidebar menus with links to various parts of an app/site have been used this way since the early web (and probably elsewhere perhaps earlier still). Also, buttons that toggle hidden content or optionally allow dragging to reveal content have also existed for much longer than touchscreen smartphones; the drawer in older versions of QuickTime Player and OS X's color picker swatch drawer are good examples of this.
This pattern is then best described as the combination of the drawer menu and reveal/hide button patterns in a manner where:
There exists (of course) variants that bend the above guidelines— some implementations may only allow tapping (not dragging) the button, or the tap-to-restore-main-content functionality might be omitted when presenting the same app on a larger-screen device, or the drawer might be oddly used for something non-clickable. Because of this, the above points describe the idealized and common form of the pattern which has quickly grown into popularity and widespread usage.
I assume that one of the reasons this pattern hadn't popped up in this form earlier (and why it deserves distinction from other patterns) is that prior to touchscreen smartphones, UI design was not nearly as often constrained to fixed-size fullscreen. Because of this new constraint, the concept of the main content temporarily sliding off the screen and the modal nature of the menu were deemed necessary, and out of that grew the benefits of hiding unnecessary visual clutter and providing a menu that can be any length without redesign. It probably also helped that Apple's UIToolbar approach of a "More" button only half-solved a brewing problem.
The first place I remember seeing a sidebar drawer of this kind was in the now-defunct Tweetie app for iPad. webOS has also had drawers like this for quite a while, but I don't think either employed the "hamburger" button nor fixed-width drawer size. I have no definite answer for you on this one, but the. number. of. open. source. libraries. for. making. these. kind. of. sidebar. menus. on GitHub seem to all point to the Facebook iOS app as you've mentioned, and to Path.
I suppose Facebook/Path-Style Sidebar/Menu/Drawer could be considered a going term for it, though I predict the references to company names would antiquate that before too long.
Side panel As mentioned at appadvice
The layout pattern itself (not the burger icon) is known as 'Off Canvas'. Luke Wroblewski wrote about it in an article about Multi-Device Layout Patterns.
It has been implemented in frameworks like Zurb Foundation.
And covered in articles such as Off The Beaten Canvas: Exploring The Potential Of The Off-Canvas Pattern by Smashing Magazine:
To expound on what @matt_d_rat wrote,
There's a great write-up here about this, but it was originally designed by Norm Cox for the Xerox Star workstation in 1981! This icon is about as old as the concept of GUI itself!
To see it in action check out this video and skip to around 21 minutes.
According to the Android Developer site and Google Design specification it's known as a Navigation Drawer.
Out of a related discussion which started on Quora, Geoff Alday dug a little deeper into the origins of the icon itself and discovered that Norm Cox is the man credited with designing the icon for the Xerox Star personal workstation, which was introduced in 1981.
In an e-mail conversation between Cox and Alday, Cox reveals how the icon came about and the design constraints they were working under. While today the icon is lovingly referred to as the hamburger icon, Cox reveals Xerox's own inside joke for the icon;
Side Navigation is one proposed term, as stated here: http://www.androiduipatterns.com/2012/06/emerging-ui-pattern-side-navigation.html
It's a worth-while reading, which explains why this bring innovation to the navigation mechanisms of apps.
It also lists other candidate terms:
This would be called a "Hamburger Menu."
Avid Media Composer (a professional video editing suite that hasn't changed it's UI for literally decades) has menus that have a similar icon that they call "hamburger menus." It's possible that this is the origin of the name.
I've heard both hamburger menu and fly-out menu. In my work environment in Austin, fly-out menu is the most commonly used term.

WINTERSVILLE - Pending the prosecutor's approval, the Jefferson County Airport Authority has leased a 100-foot hangar space to the new Pier Aviation LLC.
Pier Aviation, a partnership between former authority president Mike Menzel and Phil Bender, a former Ohio Highway Patrol aviation operations supervisor and airpark manager, will provide sightseeing service, aircraft rental, flight instruction and aerial photography.
"It's what we've been doing all along," Menzel said after Monday's airport authority meeting. "But now, Phil and I are combining to form Pier Aviation."

AGREEMENT IN PLACE — The Jefferson County Airport Authority has signed off on a lease agreement with the new Pier Aviation LLC, provided it passes muster with the county prosecutor. Pier Aviation partners Phil Bender, former Ohio Highway Patrol aviation operations supervisor and airpark manager, and former airport authority President Mike Menzel, who resigned last month to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Replacing Menzel as president was Cathy Cucarese, left, with Earl Muenze taking over as vice president. - Linda Harris
Menzel resigned the presidency to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, "though the way we read it, the Ohio Ethics Commission said there wasn't one," he said.
The authority's new president, Cathy Cucarese, said the prosecutor's office is working on a standard lease agreement, "but I would assume it's going to be pretty much the same as" the Pier Aviation lease.
"I've said all along, it just depends on the business," she added. "We will negotiate with each business (showing interest) in renting hangar space. We don't want to shut ourselves out of any opportunity."
In other business, the board's new engineering consultant, Michael Baker Jr. Inc., asked for clarification on the type of aircraft coming in and out of the airport on a regular basis, saying the current master plan designates it as A-1, which means it primarily houses smaller craft, while a review of the 2012 flight operations classifies it as serving larger planes coming to the area as a result of the shale exploration. The higher classification, either B-1 or B-2, allows larger corporate-type aircraft, which justifies the need for longer runway. If board members can justify need to the FAA, it could open to the door to federal funding.
The smaller designation, Baker's Brad Homan said, "obviously does not meet what you're doing now" and, since it could impact grant eligibility, should be updated in the master plan.
"We need to get direction from the FAA," he said. "We need their input on how we should proceed."
Homan and Project Manager Heather Leopardi also referenced a request dated several years ago for an archeological study to determine impact on a prehistoric village site somewhere nearby the facility. They said they'll need to be able to tick off that item in the environmental assessment checklist.
"It's the first time I've ever heard of an archeological survey," Cucarese said. Jefferson County Commissioner Tom Gentile pointed out the area had been heavily strip mined decades ago.
"It may be as simple as figuring out where the site is in relation to the airport," Homan noted, adding that it's "a checkbox item that needs to be addressed."
The board also was alerted that Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 859 has tentatively arranged for a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor plane to be at the airport. Details should be available at the April meeting.

WACO (February 1, 2013)—A Waco jury could send a local teenager to prison for life as the punishment phase of a robbery trial continues Friday in 19th District Court.
It took the jury just about an hour Thursday to find Alexis Bo Perez, 19, guilty of the September 2011 armed robbery of a Dominoes Pizza in the 1400 block of Wooded Acres Drive.
It was one of four robberies that prosecutors say Perez did in a 24-hour period on Sept. 3, 2011, but Perez was being tried only for the Dominoes hold up, prosecutors said.
The other three cases are pending and include the robberies of the Papa John's Pizza, 5900 Bosque Blvd., the Skinny's convenience store on Sanger Avenue and the Chesalon store on North 19th Street.
Perez is eligible for probation but he could be sentenced to 99 years or life in prison.

I have an array of objects that I need to sort by a position attribute that could be an integer or nil, and I need the objects that have the nil position to be at the end of the array. Now, I can force the position to return some value rather than nil so that the array.sort doesn't fail, but if I use 0 as this default, then it puts those objects at the front of the sort. What's the best way to to do this sort? should I just set the nil values to some ridiculously high number that is 'almost' always guaranteed to be at the end? or is there some other way i could cause the array.sort method to put the nil attribute objects at the end of the array? the code looks like this:
class Parent
def sorted_children
children.sort{|a, b| a.position <=> b.position}
class Child
def position
category ? category.position : #what should the else be??
now, if i make the 'else' something like 1000000000, then it's most likely gonna put them at the end of the array, but I don't like this solution as it's arbitrary

NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Chip Kelly hire puts all QB options, including Geno Smith, on Eagles' table by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Wed Jan. 16, 2013 Geno Smith could be an option for the Eagles with the fourth overall pick in the draft. (Icon SMI)Could Chip Kelly, now that he's been named head coach of the Eagles in a stunning turn of events, decide that he needs to use the No. 4 pick in this year's draft on Geno Smith?Sure.But in no way does Philadelphia's coaching coup turn that scenario into a certainty. In all truth, the Eagles are just as likely to pass on Smith now as they were a couple of days ago.The reasoning is simple: Even though Kelly's critics may want to think of him as a one-trick pony, destined to be exposed by NFL defenses and coaching staffs, the new Eagles' leader is more diverse than that. For as much as his up-tempo spread offense has opened eyes, it was his ability to build the Oregon program and to adjust his schemes to fit his personnel that pushed him to an elite level.Because of that versatility, there's no telling what might happen with the Eagles' quarterback position now. Maybe Smith will convince Kelly that he's worth a top pick. Or maybe Michael Vick sticks around or Kelly reworks his offense around Nick Foles or the Eagles trade for a guy like Alex Smith.There are a number of paths for Kelly to take, even if the offensive transition may not happen overnight.As far as a "fit" goes, Vick certainly passes the eye test -- and his future with the Eagles now appears more open than at any time in the past few months. His injury issues and turnover woes would cause Kelly some concern, but he is an athletic QB with a terrific arm.If Kelly wants to bring his exact Oregon offense to Philadelphia, he'll be hard-pressed to find, between now and September, a more compatible fit than Vick.Foles does not have the mobility that a Marcus Mariota or a Darron Thomas did for Kelly at Oregon, but he does have the arm to make NFL throws and the size (6-foot-6, 243 pounds) to withstand a little beating. Plus, Kelly raved about him last year when Foles played for Arizona:"I catch myself watching him in awe sometimes," Kelly said, according to the Tuscon Citizen. "Nick is a hell of a football player. That kid's a warrior. He's as good as anyone in the country."So, between Vick and Foles, Kelly has at least two QB candidates to consider before free agency and, later, the draft even come on the calendar.How Kelly makes up his mind will depend on where he sees the other 10 pieces on offense next season. A mobile quarterback plus a sleeker offensive line could push him toward an Oregon-style attack; a better pocket passer might give the Eagles' offense a bit of a 2012 Patriots look -- a fairly balanced mix of run and pass that uses the hurry-up as a curve ball.The Eagles already looked like a wild card at the top of the draft. A cursory glimpse at their roster shows needs at several offensive line spots, in the secondary and possibly at linebacker.That's in addition to the potential need for a new QB, depending on Kelly's approach. Should he bounce Vick (and possibly Foles) and go the trade route, that fourth-overall selection could be a heck of a carrot to dangle.If Philadelphia stays put at No. 4, you can bet the franchise will complete its due diligence on Smith.Will he be the best option, though? Right now, it's hard to see how he could be, given Smith is not a running quarterback in the way Vick is -- and especially when a guy like Matt Scott, who ran the zone-read for Rich Rodriguez at Arizona this year, might be available, with far less risk, in the mid-rounds. Still, Smith is on the table as a potential Eagle, and Vick is in the picture again, too, adding even more mystery to Kelly's next move and the upcoming draft. More Audibles

Consider a collimated light beam in a vacuum (I am being unspecific about the frequency, anything from radio to gamma). If the beam power/cross section was increased indefinitely would new phenomena occur at certain energy densities?
I gather that pair-production couldn't occur due to momentum considerations but would there be some interaction with the quantum vacuum?
At sufficiently high power is there a self-gravitation effect of the beam, a point touched on by a previous question? What if the beam was reflected back on itself by a mirror?
Note: the motivation for this question relates to theoretical limits for beam weapons.

I have a trigger using the event Unit Enters/Leaves Range of Unit, but it seems to want a specific unit. For the sake of brevity (and saving time for me), how do i set the trigger to find a unit that enters range of any of a specific type of unit?
Are you sure you want to use a trigger for this? It sounds like the functionality you're looking for would work much better as an aura-like ability.
I've been fiddling with my SC2MapEditor -- I don't think there's a simple way to implement the ability with that event, as it's designed to work with a single unit. You might could try something with unitgroups, but even that returns only one (rather than all) of the units in the unitgroup.
It might also help if you informed us what you were trying to do.
I have been messing around in the editor and have done something similar to what you are trying to do. I found the best way to do this is to take a sensor tower and change nothing but the effect, its rather easy to change the effect to give out a certain number of minerals per minute etc.

What do you have engraved on your device?
I am looking at getting the iPad 3 and I am not sure if I want it engraved. I NEVER plan on selling or getting rid of it so that is not a concern. A couple of the iPod touches I have had in the past were engraved, but I stopped after I couldn't think of anything witty to engrave. With my past iPods I stuck with lyrics, with the iPad I wouldn't mind a good FITTING movie quote. Any ideas or suggestions?
PLEASE keep it civil.

"I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen."
Previous iphone: "Not a cat toy. Owner might be." (Current one is blank.)
ipod shuffle: "Without music, life would be an error."
Current ipad: "O, that way madness lies; let me shun that; No more of that." (Which is actually a good reminder sometimes.)
Best suggestion, go with something easy to remember, and distinctly you! :)
My iPod touch has my initials and "Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult". It seems fitting for me. Although some have said that perhaps my disguise isn't all that clever...I've got dinosaurs attached to my dashboard, a few small toys on my monitor stand at work, and my house is primarily decorated with Lego sets and Mr. Potato Heads.
My financee (then gf) got me an iPod nano for Christmas last year. It says

I think the abbreviation was due to space constraints. She is normally quite literate.
