Ensconced in a lovely tropical villa on idyllic Triggerfish Lane, Jim Davenport anticipates the good life to come. But this isn't living -- it's Florida and the neighborhood is not quite what it seems. It's got overly aggressive Little League parents, drug-free Rastafarians, homicidal hookers, unnatural sex and casual violence. Oh, yes, and there's a psychopathic serial killer-cum-Sunshine-State folklorist named Serge A. Storms living directly across the street. So it's only a matter of time before Jim up and actually kills somebody ...

Right click "Save as…"
Recording from the SQL Server Day in Belgium:
Integration services is a handy ETL tool, with many build-in sources, transformations and
destinations. With the Script component, we can add custom .Net code to our
integration services data flows. In this session, we investigate all the
possible scripting scenarios: sources, destinations and transformations,
synchronous and asynchronous transformations, with and without additional
connections, with single or multiple output streams. So, if you have some .Net
coding skills, and you are an SSIS developer, come and have a look at how to
combine both.

Sweet SixteenWritten by on September 14, 2004 Contributors: Tim Bernsau The Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals Hits Driving Age in Indy
Indianapolis is a car town, plain and simple. It has long held a reputation for speed and performance thanks to national- and international-scale motorsports events such as the NHRA U.S. Nationals and Indianapolis 500. For the last 16 years it has also played host to one of the premier outdoor rod, custom, and nostalgia drag racing events in the country, the Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals.Simply put, Goodguys Indy is the place to see and be seen for thousands of rod and custom enthusiasts from coast to coast but particularly for those in the nation's midsection. It typically serves as a "coming out" party for many pro builders' latest creations and an annual reunion for the thousands of folks who return every spring. Early June scheduling means it also kicks off the big summer show season in the central part of the country.
This year's Hot Rod Nats, held June 11-13 at Indianapolis Raceway Park, continued the tradition with style. Thousands of cars filled the show 'n' shine field, hundreds of racers burned rubber down the 'strip, and all in attendance seemed thrilled to be surrounded by so much neat old iron. Another Indy tradition--rain--played its part on Saturday and Sunday, but most folks seemed to take it in stride, even when their tires settled into the soggy soil. A rain-shortened racing schedule was probably the weekend's biggest disappointment.
Wet weather or not, there was still plenty of fun to be had in Indy. Whether you were participating in the Indy 500 Track Cruise, vying for a Boyd Coddington Pro's Pick, shopping for bargains in the swap meet, watching the fuel-burning diggers, drinking Pabst in the new Garage Grown area, or simply cruising the hotel parking lots at night, you were sure to find plenty of like-minded individuals to share the experience. After all, this is Indy, the most car-friendly city in the country.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
In addition to the show 'n' shine activity, drag racing is a big part of the Hot Rod Nats, although rain cut competition short this year. We got to the tower just in time to see this red Willys and flamed Ford smoke some sausages. The Willys won the round 9.07 to 9.42.Believe it or not, Ron Wiggins began with a '29 Murray four-door sedan to create this one-off, Art Deco-flavored roadster pickup. The beltline is all that's left of the original sheetmetal; nearly everything else was hand-fabbed by Ron during the 10-year construction process. Watch for a full feature soon.You'd never know by watching the American Hot Rod TV show, but Boyd Coddington's shop is still capable of turning out incredible one-off cars like this "Whatthehaye," a coachbuilt rod patterned after the luxurious '30s Delahayes. We saw enough road grime to know this Viper V-10-powered, independent-suspended, Marcel DeLey-bodied beauty gets driven, too.Stinger's Hot Rod Shop built this track-style '27 roadster a few years back, and collector George Poteet recently gave it a simplified makeover. If less is best, than this super-clean rod is a winner. We've got a feature coming in a few months.A little rain doesn't spoil the style of this '32 five-window, built and owned by Tommy Boren from Horn Lake, MS. Dual quads feed fresh gas to the Thunderbird Y-block, and Fenton headers route the spent stuff. Inside Tommy added a '57 Olds instrument cluster and loads of red leather.One look at Kathy Lange's '57 Thunderbird and you know it's a Bobby Alloway creation. Riding on an Art Morrison chassis, this Bird has fuel-injected 302 Ford power and sports subtle body mods like Nomad rear wheel openings and tapered front fenders. It's the 17x8- and 20x10-inch Coddington wheels that really give it the Alloway look, though.By the time you read this we'll know whether Bob Klessig's '52 Chevy convertible is a finalist for Asphalt Ego-Rama '04. For now we're happy to show you another glimpse of the dark green, 292 six-cylinder-powered mild custom.
In addition to other corrals, Goodguys set up a section for what they call Garage Grown Retro Rods and Kool Kustoms. We feared some participants would be irked at being segregated, but most appreciated the special parking.The award for the most high-tech Willys we've ever seen in our lives goes to this 'glass '41 crafted by Kenny Davis, who also built the silver '33 Ford on this month's cover. Based on a Jason Rushforth concept illustration, this Willys is powered by a 540-inch Merlin big-block backed by a 700-R4. It rolls on 18- and (gulp!) 22-inch rims.We caught up with the unsinkable and ever-entertaining Terry Cook at the Fatman booth, just in time to check out his latest Deco Ride, this Boattail Speedster. With Auburn-like styling, Dodge V-10 power, and modern underpinnings, it's got style and substance to spare. You can learn more at www.decorides.com.We fell in love with David and Ellen Rippy's unchopped, unchanneled '29 coupe on Deuce rails. Dave hand-fabbed much of the car but kept the hardware to keep it looking old-timey. Custom torsion bars give the Chevy-powered rod its killer stance. The paint is a Saturn color called Sunset Copper.Just when you think rodding has lost its creativity, along comes Aaron Grote's '34 Chevy with a severely narrowed '60 Buick tail section making it look like a '60s show rod "spacetruck." We dig the concept.Lou Dilda (driving) bought this '36 Ford in 1952, sold it a few years later, and lost track of it. Gordon Allen from Avon, IN, bought it in 1993. Lou saw a picture of the car in a magazine, did some detective work, and tracked it down. The two have become friends via telephone and met for the first time in Indy. The roadster didn't have a ZZ4 small-block under the hood in the '50s, but it still brings back fond memories.Carl Lindbeck from DePere, WI, won the Wonderful Woodie award with this one-of-a-kind '48 Ford longroof. The copper-colored, on-the-ground custom woodster runs an LT1 tied to a 4L60E transmission.Taking on a '58 Buick hardtop wagon as a project is challenging enough; chopping one seems almost suicidal! Keith Bright of Salina, KS, was up to the task though, as you can see from his red-and-black beauty.When Ted Houchin needed a winter project, he asked his buddy Brian Stinger to help him build this radical hot rod out of a derelict '46 Chevy pickup. The severely chopped and slammed two-seater rides on a custom frame, has Buick nailhead power, and wears a cut-down Terraplane grille flanked by early Buick lights. It found a new owner at Indy.
Justin Berry's friends in Illinois give him crap for putting red metalflake on his '61 Merc's top and white 'flake upholstery inside. Justin gets the last laugh, though, as he won a Killer Kustom award from Goodguys and gets his picture in R&C.There was a long line to get an autograph from Hot Wheels designer Larry Wood, who is a hero to any gearhead who was ever a kid.

What is the best way to extract the geometry of a road from OSM data? The goal is to display segments of highway that are closed due to weather. The weather data consists of positions (in KM measured along the road) from major cities, and length of the affected stretch of road. The main problem is clipping the road based on these distances; afterwards rendering seems straightforward.
You definitely want to get that data into Postgis using something like osm2pgsql or imposm (if all you have is an .osm extract) or shp2pgsql (if you have a shapefile). Once your data is in Postgis, you can use some of the linear referencing functions explained here, esp. ST_Line_Interpolate_Point() and ST_Line_Locate_Point():
I imagine that the error in the linear referencing is going to be a major problem. If you have long distances in km and the OSM road is a different geometry to what the weather service uses, then you you'll see errors magnified the further you go.
The easiest way is to download SHAPE files from http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/ . They contain a "roads" layer (these files are updated overnight).
The connected attribute table allows you to quickly categorize the streets in a hierarchical way.
Another layer in the package is (for some cities) the extent.
Hence, subsequent clipping can be done e.g. with QGIS or GRASS GIS.

After denying for months that she is engaged, we find out on a promo video for Lifetime's new "The Houstons: On Our Own" reality TV series, that Bobbi Kristina has been untruthful all along.
"We're engaged," Bobbi Kristina awkwardly announces during a family meal in a snippet from the series premiere.
The groom-to-be is of course Nick Gordon, who the late Whitney Houston adopted as Bobbi's brother. which the Houstons don't accept.
"The family has me out to be a bad person," Gordon says during a confessional after a scene featuring Gary Houston (Whitney's brother) chastising the newly engaged guy airs.
Check out some more scenes from the new series below. "The Houstons: On Our Own" debuts on October 24 on Lifetime.

If a site uses .htaccess file to rewrite the URL for e.g. better SEO. Is it possible to find out what is the "real" URL?
This is not possible unless you know the rewrite rule. In some cases direct access the "real" file is forbidden entirely.
Other than that you could try using DirBuster with a custom directory list, such as a list created from the seo friendly urls. Being hackers we all know how to write code so this is pretty trivial.
I'm not sure what your question is. Let's say you have a simple rewrite rule like to redirect content from
Then a user's web browser sends a GET http request to
The web server catches this in the rewrite rules, and sends back a http response from the server like:
and then your browser fetches whatever content is at
So what is your question? You presumably know (and can easily log) the web addresses your browser has been requesting before it has been rewritten. At the very least you can capture the GET requests by following the TCP stream with a tool like wireshark.
You know where the redirect rule has ultimately sent you; e.g., the location is now displayed in your web browser. If you have access to the apache logs from the webserver side you'll see something like:
though you could easily just look in the apache configuration to find the actual rewrite rules.
Note: none of this has anything to do with where the content is stored on the web server. There may be no directory called
which could be then run as

In Halo:Reach, how much damage does a beat-down, or "pummel" do in multiplayer? At what point can I be guaranteed that a beat-down will kill the opponent?
From my experience, whenever I melee an opponent who doesn't have any shields, the melee always kills them. If you melee when they still have shields, then only their shields are removed (thus taking a max of two melee attacks to kill an opponent).
Edit: The Bungie Weekly Update for September 24 has more information about how melee attacks and headshots work in Halo Reach. The basic idea is the same: melee will destroy any remaining shields (and nothing else), while a melee to a shieldless opponent will kill him.
Andy's correct, except in game modes where health has been modified.
For example, I believe SWAT modes double spartan health, so even though you do not have shields in SWAT, a single melee attack will still not kill an enemy at full health. There may be other game modes either now or in the future that change player health percentages, but I can't think of any.
Under any 'normal' game mode, any melee after shields have popped is a kill.
If the opponent has 10% shields (just a rough guess but it has to be pretty low) the melee attack with anything will kill the opposing enemy.

Where does Donkey Mong spawn for the "Definitely an Italian Plumber" achievement?
Where does Donkey Mong spawn for the "Definitely an Italian Plumber" achievement?
In the SW corner of Eridium Blight, stay to the right after passing through the gate. Donkey Mong has a chance of spawning here with or without clearing the area. If you don't see him, try clearing the bullymongs in the area. King Mong and Donkey Mong can spawn together, they do however seem to share spawn locations.
Video by GameFront:
Actually, I found him more frequently if you head a little further down the road. Essentially, in between where this video recommends and where you find Mal.
Location given above is correct. However, based on personal experience, both King Mong and Donkey Mong can spawn repeatedly and spawn together. King Mong spawns in at least two places: just over the Hyperion Gate and in the SW corner of the map by the exit. He spawns 3 out of 5 times for me. Donkey Mong spawns due west of the Hyperion Gate out of the cliffside. He generally spawns 1 out of 5 times in my experience.
I just found him while driving around the east northeast side of the map. I went straight east after fast traveling and crossed the bridge. I took a right after the bridge and he just jumped out of the cliff.

Cat lovers are rampant out there… What's not to love, right?

Are all LEGO Boardgames more or less for children, or are some of them suitable for grown-up, more expert players? (Everybody likes relaxing with a simple game, but are any of the games a bit more challenging?)
The most obvious answer is probably the LEGO Heroica range, especially when played in "Campaign" mode; for more details see our Heroica tag wiki.
There are also a few examples of "Expert" rules that others have come up with, including our very own Joe Wreschnig's set on his dedicated site:
Both of these make the ruleset more complicated and can encourage more of a team play than the usual competitive play that my kids make it.
LEGO Creationary is another game where the modelling requirements make it a slightly less child friendly game than some of the others.
I am attempting to create a tactical miniatures game using minifigures called "BattleBrik". Please see the Cuusoo page here: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/12299

Gmail's maximum attachment size is 25 MB. How to send files bigger than that?
closed as primarily opinion-based by Sathya♦ Sep 2 '14 at 17:28
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Upload it to a website and send them a link. For example:
If you upload it to a public service (e.g. a Dropbox public folder) and it's important that it's kept confidential, encrypt it with 7-Zip.
since you have an google account already, there is no need to add another hoster for your data: upload the file to docs.google.com as described here and share it.
I've experienced this problem very many times. Thankfully, there are a few good solutions. They all involve using file-sharing services.
Some of the ones I'm about to list have already been mentioned, but I want to compare them in detail.
7-Zip also has the ability to save an archive into multiple chunks, and you can specify the size of the chunks.
Don't do it.
It is:
There's just no good reason for file attachments larger than 25MB.
Try GE.TT
No Flash is required, Easy Transfer of files.
If you're on a mac I really like CloudApp. Drag the file to the menu bar icon and the URL is automatically copied to your clipboard. Paste it in the email and send.
Lots of players in this space but http://wetransfer.com offers 2GB of space in exchange for your email address.
Its currently flash based only.
Sendbigfiles.com Simple and Free!
Another favorite option is File Apartment at fileapartment.com. Easy to use, fast, no software to download or registration, up to 1 GB, free option, safe, and secure.
You can try Ipswitch Sendable. There's a free trial that allows you to send up to 250 MB, and paid services with limits of 5GB and 15GB per file / month.
You can send files up to 2GB at Sprend and it'll also send an email-address notifying where to download the file.
Upload the file to Rapidshare and send the link (generated by Rapidshare) to the recipient.
I like DropSend.
JustAttach was what we went with. We could install it on our own servers. Uses Java for reliable uploads, easy to include links in email. There is also a product called Repliweb.
You can split the file using tools like GSplit. But, we still have the pain of uploading. To avoid that trouble, the only way is to host your local PC as a server using tools like HFS. (Google it. I am a new user and unable to add more than a link in a post. Sigh).
Anyway, running server requires some level of configuration and your Internet connection must be quite good to yield proper transfer rate.
I use http://www.filesharehq.com - free account for sending and storing 500MB and I can use ftp to load files.
"Microsoft is also leveraging SkyDrive to make it easier to share photos. Users frequently encounter problems with attachment limits either on the sending or receiving side, Mehta said.
Microsoft is skirting around that problem by automatically creating a SkyDrive folder with photos as someone sends an e-mail with photo attachments. Rather than attaching multimegabyte photos with the message, Hotmail will instead send a thumbnail of the photos while the full-size photos are sent to SkyDrive"
Microsoft Rolls out Hotmail Enhancements --> www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/196490/microsoft_rolls_out_hotmail_enhancements.html
"Send virtually all the photos you want to without having to worry about attachment limits or clogged inboxes, either at your end or on the recipient's end. Hotmail works with Windows Live SkyDrive, your free online storage space from Windows Live, so you can send up to 200 photos of up to 50 MB each (10 GB total) in a single message. It's as easy as sending regular attachments, but we give you the option of uploading them to SkyDrive. This means the people you're sending photos to get an email containing a preview of the photos, along with links to launch a slide show or download the photos to their hard drives — all in a single .zip file instead of painstakingly downloading them individually. Or they can even import them straight into Windows Live Photo Gallery. Sharing lots of large photo attachments has never been more easy or painless."
There's a few services out there that let you upload a file, and then give you credentials that you can send to people, and then they delete the file after a couple of days.
I used to know most of the players in the space, but it's been too many years -- the only one that I can remember is the one that the company I worked for did (WhaleMail, now owned by Semantic, it looks like)
I have no idea what the current terms / limits / etc are.
Try wuala.com. You can share 1G+- off the bat and if you share space in your system 24/7 you can get a proportional amount of space on their cloud for free up to 100G !
Winrar also has the ability to save an archive into multiple chunks, and you can specify the size of the chunks.
There is also MyNetworkFolders which provides 1 GB free storage with browser, WebDAV, desktop and iPhone clients.
I would suggest that the best thing to use would be a file optimization program, such as NXPowerLite. This will remove all the file bloat and leave you with a file size reduction of 60-70% without any difference in look/feel.
Works for me!
Try FileDropper. It's a great service. It's free, the upload max is 5GB, and it's dead simple to use.
I like http://www.toldacuccot.hu/en — works like YouSendIt.com etc. but without being hassled to start paying. Up to 500Mb per file, and you can send several files at once without having to .zip them beforehand.
If you can arrange to be online at the same time as your recipient, file transfer via Skype is often a quick and easy way to send stuff around, although it quickly gets difficult if there are multiple recipients.
Also, never underestimate the bandwidth of a padded envelope full of DVD-Rs and a stamp. :o)
After trying a lot of uploading services, I've finally pick out mediafire.com . It's pretty fast for every country and easy download / upload / share.
You can try http://www.mirrorcreator.com/ to upload to multiple host at the same time.
You can try TransferBigFiles as described in this article : How to send large files through a website.
All transfers go through HTTPS using SSL encryption. The free package offers
Sending large files via email is not the best option IMHO.
In fact, there are plenty of services to send large files.
I'm personally in love with FileDropper and Dropbox, but - again - there are lots around. Check here if you want a solid reference: http://www.masternewmedia.org/how_to_send_large_files_without_email/
With my customers, I need to receive their stuff: I use Expedimedia.com to Send and receive large files. It is great because my clients do not have to register. They also have a free trial account. Their service is in French and English.
Here is another good web based service:

Thank you for taking the time to take this month's poll.
In this month's Reader Survey, we want to find out how you feel about your parish. Tell us about your faith community.

Please take our entire survey on parish life by clicking here.

The results will appear in the June 2010 issue of U.S. Catholic. Order your copy today!
Take other polls here.
A comparison of Catholics and Protestants
It depends on what you mean by "welcoming". Protestant churches are much more aggressive in recruiting new members, but I prefer the Catholic approach.
Protestant churches seek new faces out and smother them. Catholic churches let people see what it's all about with no pressure. I appreciate the Catholic way.
I agree wholeheartedly with babyching -- the Catholic church is very welcoming without pressuring or smothering, and I prefer that approach as well. In fact, it has a lot to do with why I have remained.
So long as you share our ideas...
As a traditional Catholic, I have never felt welcomed in a run-of-the-mill liberalised Parish. Indeed I have been driven out.
It very much appears that the "all are welcome" idea has an unspoken codacil: "So long as you are progressive and liberal."
Appalling. Which is why I have refused to vote in this poll.

Just War, Folks....more...and more
Does the Petreus-Allen scandale, such as it may turn out to be, help to explain why the U.S. has lost the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...not just the wars, of course.MORE: Pat Lang's blog, Sic Semper Tyrannis, has among its posters and commenters a good many retired military and intelligence officials (or at least they seem to be retired). The site has always been critical of Petraeus and, no suprise, there have been some posts on current events. Here is one on the Lebanese factor in the generals' downfall. And from one of the commenters here is a link to counterpunch with a very sharp analysis of Petraeus's military skills.AND MORE: Stephen Walt has a sane "still in the middle of the scandal" assessment of how this adds up, or not.

How so? I don't follow the "news", but I take it that an American general was found by the government secret police to have kept a sort of affair more or less private. That's it? Do you mean, if our generals are naive enough to think that they can keep their liaisons secret they don't have the smarts necessary to be effective generals?By the way, "lost the wars" is surely only one interpretation of what happened, no? Saying, "enough, already" isn't necessarily equivalent to "losing". Swords weren't turned over to enemies in ceremonial capitulation, where they?
David if the reports of the volume of e-mails are even remotely accurate, if you divide the volume by the time frames it equals around 25 e-mails a day every day!!!! ( I think the reports are 20K of pages and e mails in roughly two years). If Allen is sending that much correspondence to a woman whose only job is to arrange parties, then I would say that his head is definitely not on protecting the men and women who are putting their lives on the lines. These service men and women deserve the leadership's full attention and they were plainly not getting it. Nor was the country. Nor was his wife and family back home. But guess who was? It is truly disgraceful. Plus going to all of these sneaky lengths to conceal an affair is a big problem. It does open you up to do some pretty irrational things not to be discovered. The first is how on earth can a director of the CIA be so stupid as to think that it would be able to be a secret (which it really wasn't).Finally, his choice of mistress goes to his judgement. I am surprised Ms. Broadwell was not boiling rabbits.Bad for morale, bad for the reputation of the US military, bad all the way around.Oh yeah....lest we forget, four Americans were killed in Benghazi and nobody has a clue why or what happened.
Does the Petreus-Allen scandale, such as it may turn out to be, help to explain why the U.S. has lost the wars in Iraq and Afghanistannot just the wars, of course.Yes.How could Allen and Kelley find time to produce 20,000 to 30,000 pages of documents in three years? How could Petraeus and Broadwell look so much alike? (Using the terrorists' tactic of never actually sending their e-mail, but simply reading the drafts, was . . . clever?)What did the message carried to Bush by Laghi in his diplomatic pouch really say?Why was it so important for Cheney to ignore the warnings about Afghanistan from our old enemy, Russia? (Who has made the most money from those wars?)How does it feel to be the parent of a soldier whose life was wasted in those wars?Why did Kelley tell the police dispatcher she has "diplomatic inviolability"? Why didn't Cantor warn Obama? (Did he warn Romney?) Why did the two generals write letters for Kelley's sister? (And why did the judge ignore such impassioned interventions?) Why did Kelley and her husband go into debt to support their charade? (Was it thrilling when Petraeus arrived at one of their parties with a 28-cop motorcycle escort? Are the Tampa taxpayers happy to see their money wasted in this way?)
Is this what comes of civilian political leaders never serving in the military? They get snowed by the officer corps of the military.
Margaret Steinfels: Yes, unfortunately, President Obama got snowed into going along with General Petraeus's schemes. But don't forget that President Kennedy, who served in World War II, got snowed into going along with the ill-conceived Bay of Pigs invasion.
Wasn't the Bay of Pigs a CIA invention?
Maureen Dowd's column this morning:http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/opinion/dowd-reputation-reputation-rep...
Margaret Steinfels: The common denominator, so to speak, involves a president of the United States getting snowed into going along with something that he would have been well advised not to go along with. To his credit, President Kennedy took responsibility for the Bay of Pigs debacle, as he should have as the commander in chief. Unfortunately, President Obama has apparently not yet figured out that he got snowed into going along with schemes that he should not have gone along with.
David Smith: Two Generals, one in charge of both Iraq and Afghanistan and the other in charge of Afghanistan, both seem to have a lot of time on their hands for non-essential correspondence, interviews, and general socializing. Do their lives in bubbles far from the battlefields where the troops flail away (at least in Afghanistan) relieve them of responsibility to those troops and the direction of the war?As to losing two wars: if you prefer, we might say that the fig leaf covering Iraq has virtually vanished and the fig lead being attempted in Afghanistan will hardly get pasted on before the Taliban start up the war again. I will grant you that Paul Bremmer, viceroy after the invasion, lost Iraq from Day One.
Over the years I have noted that the news media gravitate toward sensationalistic stories. So the Petraeus scandal seems like it was made for media coverage.Honestly, two generals wrote letters of support of a woman in her custody battle with her now ex-husband, which she lost? But weren't those two general supposed to be engaged in fighting a war somewhere?
All those smashing military victories, and those regimes overthrown and replaced - isn't that pretty much the conventional definition of "victory"?If we're talking about the generals, I expect they think they won those wars. They don't make the policies.
The plot is thickening. Juan Cole has this on his blog today (Wednesday): "The headlines about the Petraeus affair in the Arab world this morning almost universally read something like Lebanese woman brings down CIA. The woman who seems to have destroyed three careers and kicked off the FBI investigation of Gen. David Petraeus, ex-director of the CIA, goes by Jill Kelley. But her maiden name is Gilberte Khawam." Rest here: http://www.juancole.com/2012/11/the-arab-reading-of-the-petraeusallen-af...
Jim, the goal of the war in Iraq was to ensure that it didn't have WMD. I would say that that war was won before it even started. By conventional definition. Everything else that happened was "bonus".
Jim Pauweis: Read Bob Woodward's "Obama's War," and see how policy was made in Afghanistan and who made it. The president signs off after beating back Petraeus's plea for twice as many troops.And if these are victories in Iraq and Afghanistan, what must defeat look like?
Claire: While we have you on the line: What is France and Hollande up to in Syria?
Yes, Kelley is a child of Lebanese parents. She seems to have inherited their entertaining and bankruptcy genes. It will be interesting (1) to learn the identity of the FBI guy who sent her topless pictures of himself; and (2) whether he told Romney about the Petraeus/Allen/Kelley/Broadwell quadrangle.Article about Kelley's Philly roots:http://articles.philly.com/2012-11-13/news/35069854_1_natalie-khawam-pet... that:Kelley works as an unpaid social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla. According to a statement she and her husband released Sunday, they have been friends with Petraeus and his wife, Holly, for five years.A 1988 Inquirer feature about the Khawam family's culinary roots described Kelley's father as an accomplished musician in their homeland and her mother as a chef who liked to entertain political and cultural figures.In the late 1980s, the Khawams ran a Middle Eastern restaurant in Voorhees called Sahara. The restaurant was closed within a few years, according to a 1990 bankruptcy petition the couple filed.John Khawam also owned an auto tag store in Northeast Philadelphia, records show.
No idea. (I don't think too many people have any idea, actually.)
"...I take it that an American general was found by the government secret police to have kept a sort of affair more or less private."That is not correct. A civilian government employee who retired as a general from the Army in August 2011 purportedly was engaged in an "extramarital affair" from the fall of 2011 through the summer of 2012. There is no publically available information to suggest any members of the general officer corps were involved in any violations of the UCMJ outside of the ordinary course. The people at Fox News who invented this "scandal" still don't get it - Americans do not subscribe to their Neanderthal notions of gender and sexual conduct and do not care what people do in their private lives as long as it does not interfere with their own liberty.
One of the most interesting features of US political and military arrangements is that civilian, are in fact, in charge of the military. Obama is the commander in chief and not a victim. He, and he alone, signs off on broad military strategies and even when it comes to certain tactical questions, he also is the commander. How he acquits himself in all of this (including and especially Benghazi) is the critical question.Charles Krauthammer whose opinion and analysis I respect has some important insights on this whole question.I think the really shocking news today was that General Petraeus thought and hoped he could keep his job. He thought that it might and it would be kept secret, and that he could stay in his position. I think what that tells us is really important. It meant that he understood that the FBI obviously knew what was going on. He was hoping that those administration officials would not disclose what had happened, and therefore hoping that he would keep his job. And that meant that he understood that his job, his reputation, his legacy, his whole celebrated life was in the hands of the administration, and he expected they would protect him by keeping it quiet.
And that brings us to the ultimate issue, and that is his testimony on September 13. Thats the thing that connects the two scandals, and thats the only thing that makes the sex scandal relevant. Otherwise it would be an exercise in sensationalism and voyeurism and nothing else. The reason its important is heres a man who knows the administration holds his fate in its hands, and he gives testimony completely at variance with what the Secretary of Defense had said the day before, at variance with what hed heard from his station chief in Tripoli, and with everything that we had heard. Was he influenced by the fact that he knew his fate was held by people within the administration at that time?

Every day the New York Times has a box somewhere in the first section that lists the names of the American troops who have lost their lives a day or two before in Afghanistan. At times there are two or three names, but usually five or six. It is quite sobering to read the names and ages of these young people who have lost their lives in this fruitless saga. And given our all-volunteer army, many of these young people have died on their second, third, fourth tour of duty.As well, Walter Reed Hospital, now in the Bethesda suburb of Washington, is filled with severely injured troops who are undergoing some form, often quite necessarily limited, of rehabilitation. I know people who are working with these injured soldiers, including the extraordinary Father Rick Curry, SJ, of Georgetown. Their accounts are heart-rending.And the civilian deaths.Where is the outcry! How long, O Lord, how long!
Petreaus, Bill Clinton, John Edwards spent their working life each being the smartest person in any room they were in.. So much for smarts... when hormones are the brain drivers.
We don't know enough facts about these incidents to draw conclusions yet. I suspect, however, that the public will hold the political leadership -- particularly the Bush administration -- more responsible than the military leadership for all the difficulties in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I further suspect that military expeditions that smack of "nation building" will be in bad odor for a long time to come. With regard to the subject of the effectiveness of our military leadership in these wars, you might want to read the article in The Atlantic by Thomas Ricks that was published before these sex-scandal stories broke. Its entitled "General Failure," and its thesis is that an unhealthy culture of caring more about protecting the careers of military leaders than in holding them accountable for failures has taken hold in the military. He compares this to a much more determined, even ruthless, effort to hold their feet to the fire in the past -- for example, in WWII. You can find the article here http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/11/general-failure/3091....
Surely this is just another "news" scandal, pot banging and flashing lights about sex among celebrities. Whatever culture of moral laxity and misdirected energy it illustrates can't be news for "journalists", who just shrugged their shoulders until a nice juicy sex story fell into their laps.Top generals are probably as much politicians and celebrities as presidents and senators, whose staff certainly do almost all the real work and decision making. If Obama were to contract sleeping sickness tomorrow, the country would continue to function with hardly a hitch. It's probably the same in the military.
Krauthammer? Interesting how voraciously the right-wing cannibalizes its own.
Gerelyn:One of the things that I am grateful for as a result of a strict Catholic upbringing especially by my father was important life lessons.The first of these is that God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10). And according to St. Thomas respect of persons is a sin against justice.Principle should trump tribalism.I think that there should, of course, be forgiveness for these sins of the flesh and normally they should remain private. At the same time, to whom much has been given much is expected. I respect that Patreus resigned and I take him at his word that he is repairing the damage done to his family. There is public implications to this story and when one's personal sins have the potential to impact public responsibilities, then they need to be called out.I know a woman who had to go to the dean when she discovered that the professor was having sex with a fellow student in her class. Her concern was not the sex so much as it was that the fact that she was sleeping with him undermined trust in his impartiality, it introduced inequity in the class, and conveyed a sense of injustice.I was a student at the time and personally, I liked and admired this professor but had to supprt the student.Oh, BTW, the complaint went nowhere but at least she raised it to the appropriate authorities. What they did with that information is up to them.
Jeff Greenwald sees Petraeus and Allen as casualties of the new extended surveillance state. Interesting take, given the expected obsession of the media with new sex scandal. I should say legally extended, given Hoover's treatment of his unfavored in decades past.
George, I have no idea what you're talking about or how the personal anecdotes have any bearing on the accusations from Kraut and Rush that Petraeus has perjured himself and is prepared to do so again.
Gerelyn:Let me be more clear.You said that " Interesting how voraciously the right-wing cannibalizes its own."In interpret that as sarcasm. Cannibalizing is a judgmental term and suggests that "right-wing" people should stick together. They should not. Nor should left wing. that kind of tribalism is opposed to justice.Krauthammer is not cannibalizing his own. He is demonstrating equanimity and that is a virtue. Makes no difference what political label the characters have. At issue is the principle. Patraeus, according to the reports, gave testimony or at least a briefing at odds with what other intelligence people were giving him.Why?
Acts have consequences: What is disquieting about what we know (and don't know yet) is that smart people seem to have lost contact with that reality. What were they thinking? Even when we are not dealing with the limbic system, how can people well versed in the capacities of the National Security system not consider that they will be exposed (rightly or wrongly) and that what they have apparently worked so hard to achieve for their whole life will be destroyed (I include Major Paula Broadwell), and possibly the lives of several others.
Peggy, The simple answer to your question is No. There are many fathers and mothers of our status in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The awful quotes by Petraeus's mistress, Paula Broadwell, in this article clearly demonstrate why why these wars are the crimes of the century:http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/01/25-tons-of-bombs-wipes-afghan-to...
As Broadwell tells it, the villagers understood that the United States needed to destroy their homes except when they dont. One villager in a fit of theatrics had accused Flynn of ruining his life after the demolition [of his town].Sure they are pissed about the loss of their mud huts, Broadwell wrote on Facebook, but that is why the BUILD story is important here.
I cannot help but think that using pilotless drones is part of a mentality that doesn't see the consequences of how the U.S. military chose to conduct these wars. See no evil....and then it doesn't exist.
"Pissed about the loss of their mud huts"? How ignorant, and how offensive!The memory for such events lasts a long time. My mother's village was burnt to the ground by the German army in 1944. All the older people remember it, of course (they became refugees until the place was rebuilt). Families also have lasting scars: why do we have no pictures of my mother as a child? Because the photos were burnt. Why no furniture, dolls, books, or any kind of souvenirs? Because they burnt. Even young outsiders cannot escape from that memory either: the rebuilt village looks different from surrounding villages. Why does it not benefit from tourism? Because tourists prefer to go elsewhere. Why? Because it lacks charm. Why? Because it's all post-war reconstruction. It's unable to charm tourists, so its economy is dead, and the younger generation hass gone elsewhere to find jobs. Before setting it on fire, the Germans asked everyone to leave the village, so there were no casualties, but it is still a deep, long lasting trauma.
Even when we are not dealing with the limbic system, Not sure how (or why) we would not deal with the limbic system. That's who and what we are -- creatures with amygdala memories so deep we cannot forget them. Surely that's part of self-destruction. A general, no matter how many motorcycle cops escort him to a "socialite's" party, knows that under all the medals and ribbons, he's just a man, a helpless little baby in mommy's arms, a struggling little tadpole in mommy's amniotic ocean. He knows he doesn't deserve the fawning, etc. The secret must be told, even if he must tell it. "Art is confession; art is the secret told." --Thornton Wilder
Krauthammer??? He obsessed with a supposed Benghazi cover up. What cover up??Thr four Americans including the ambassador were involved in covert operations. Krauthammer probably thinks Ambassador Stevens was working on tourist and trade in Libya
The hypocrisy of the Rush/Kraut/Issa/Cantor/et al. crowd is nauseating. They were the ones who cut security for the embassies, but they want it to be Obama's fault.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/jason-chaffetz-embassy_n_195491...
For those who have never spent any time in the military, generals are subject to the same hothouse worship as are, well .... cardinals! They are surrounded by lackies who know where THEIR next promotion comes from. They demand and get unquestioning obedience to their every order. They tend to actually believe that, outside of their own worlds, the rest of us will treat them the same way and fall down and adore them regularly.Guess what?
"Thr four Americans including the ambassador were involved in covert operations. Krauthammer probably thinks Ambassador Stevens was working on tourist and trade in Libya"Exactly. Kraut was complaining that the President pretended to stop the enhanced interrogation of alledged terrorists and then Kraut pretends to be shocked that the President was having alledged terrorists tortured in Benghazi. What a hack.
MAT' there is exactly none... no evidence there was CIA torture in Benghazi. There is a report that there was a covert hiring of Iraqi mercenaries to protect the consulate. But asNick Machiavelli said [I'll translate for those not familiar with elegant medieval Italian] " Mercenaries ain't worth s---'
"MAT there is exactly none no evidence there was CIA torture in Benghazi."I didn't say the CIA tortured anyone.

Even when we are not dealing with the limbic system, how can people well versed in the capacities of the National Security system not consider that they will be exposed (rightly or wrongly) and that what they have apparently worked so hard to achieve for their whole life will be destroyed (I include Major Paula Broadwell), and possibly the lives of several others.
Margaret, I imagine this means that P's behavior is perfectly normal and acceptable in those circles and that he assumed he was protected by the crowd. Clinton, with Lewinsky, must have felt the same. Apparently the danger to P came from outside, from someone - the partner - who failed to grasp what was expected in that culture - or simply didn't give it the required respect. Clinton, at the height of power, almost didn't survive; P, considerably further down the totem pole, lost his head.Power corrupts - always has corrupted and always will.
ISTM that since the advent of the new information technologies the morality of information gathering begs for more attention from the ethicists. And there are lots of questions left over from BC (before computers). Now consider Benghazi. Already there is an ethical principle that runs something like this: a person has a right to information about what affects his life greatly. Another old principle: an unjust law is no law at all. So, when one nation, Nation A, is plotting and planning to do evil to another, Nation B, does B have a right to that information? And if gathering the information cannot be done legally according to the laws of Nation A does Nation B have a right to break the laws of Nation A? It seems to me it does. In other words, covert spying is sometimes justified.So perhaps the ambassador in Benghazi was morally correct to try to gather information, assuming he wasn't torturing to do it. SIDEBAR: is it morally justified to say he ordered torturing when there is no evidence that he did? Yes, it is justified for his bosses to look into the possibility he is torturing, but for the rest of us to assume that he did is at this point unair.The whole Benghazi mess coupled with the PEtraeus/Allen scandal has become occasion for the invention of so many extraordinary theories that not for nothing did Sen. Feinstein say it is starting to look like the National Inquirer. We seem to have become a nation of peeping toms and, in an old American tradition, tall tale inventors, only now we believe the tales.

Chicken or egg? Did drones bring about the insensitivity and immoral behavior or did the latter prepare the way for the former? In an amoral society, there's nothing to prevent any sort of rationalizing from looking good. Everything's on the table; the only touchstone is expediency. That's why religion is indispensible to a moral society - without it, all reasoning can be made to look moral and acceptable and normal. Killer drones, presidents behaving like Mafia dons, and a host of lesser outrages committed at all levels of government appear in the moral vacuum you get when there are no prohibitions that can't be talked away.
Interesting blog you linked in the "MORE" section, Margaret. (He asks if Paula Krantz Broadwell is "connected to Israel somehow.")
Pat Lang's blog is interesting, although like any blog it has to be read critically. As for any connection between Broadwell and Israel I haven't seen one.
Agree that blogs (including this one) should be read critically.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Katie Roberts, a junior from Penfield, N.Y., became the first Geneseo equestrian team rider to place in a national equestrian championship event this past weekend. She also is the first from the college ever to qualify for the national championships.
Roberts placed third in the nation in the individual hunt seat open equitation event at the 2010 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (ISHA) National Championships at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
College equestrian is Geneseo's newest varsity sport. Since 2004, athletes have competed against other colleges and universities, including Division I schools. The team is led by Coach Kim Sanford, owner and trainer at Leg Up Stables in Geneseo. She manages the 300-acre farm which is home to approximately 70 horses and will continue to serve as the host site for SUNY Geneseo's Equestrian team.

Spending-Cut Proposals Drawing Democratic Flak
One big question in Washington's budget talks is whether Republicans will make more concessions on taxes. This week, the counterpoint has started to come into play: What will Democrats swallow on spending cuts?
The prospect of cuts to Medicare and other entitlement programs is making many Democrats anxious. Of particular concern is Republicans' call for increasing the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, an idea that could split Democrats.
As budget talks with the GOP drag on, President Barack Obama has been quietly sounding out Democratic leaders about spending-cut options, while his top aides work rank-and-file party members. Mr. Obama has said he's willing to make decisions Democrats will find difficult if Republicans will bend on tax rates, but so far he has insisted Republicans first agree to raise rates for the top income-tax brackets.
"There is a recognition that if there's going to be a substantial deal, there's going to have to be entitlement cuts on the table," said John Podesta, former chief of staff under Bill Clinton. "But there is more pushback on the idea of raising the Medicare age."
Falling Over the Fiscal Cliff
See some scenarios for how different groups of people may be affected by the tax changes that will take place if the fiscal cliff isn't resolved by the Jan. 1., 2013, deadline.
GOP leaders have this week sought to push Democrats into detailing long-term spending cuts in order to justify a potentially painful concession on taxes. "Every moment we spend talking about taxes is a moment we don't spend solving the real problem, which is spending," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R., Texas), outgoing chairman of the House Republican Conference.
The White House signaled Wednesday that Mr. Obama is willing to go lower than his latest offer of $1.4 trillion in new tax revenue over 10 years. Asked whether that number could pass the GOP-controlled House, White House press secretary Jay Carney said, "The president has made clear his willingness to negotiate and compromise."
Budget talks have proceeded haltingly this week, with wide differences remaining. Mr. Obama scaled back his initial demand for a $1.6 trillion tax increase. His new offer of $1.4 trillion, coupled with a commitment to overhaul the corporate tax code in 2013, was rejected by Republicans as inadequate.
In a closed meeting with House Republicans Wednesday, GOP leaders warned that Congress could be in session through the holidays to finish a deal. After describing his Tuesday night phone conversation with the president, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) told reporters, "I remain the most optimistic person in this town, but we've got some serious differences." White House officials said Wednesday the president is confident a deal is possible before year's end but suggested talks were at a lull after the two sides made their new offers.
Figuring out the spending side of the budget talks remains as thorny an issue as the tax side. The spending-cut possibilities include raising the Medicare retirement age. Mr. Obama was open to the idea in 2011 talks with Mr. Boehner as part of a broad deficit-reduction deal, but the White House expects it will be a tougher sell to Democrats this time because many believe he doesn't have to offer that concession after winning re-election.
The federal government would save $113 billion if it gradually raised the Medicare eligibility between 2012 and 2021, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Asked about the idea in an ABC interview Tuesday, Mr. Obama said it wouldn't cut costs much in the short run, but he didn't close the door to the proposal, citing pressures on the health-care system from an aging population and rising costs.
Many Democrats, however, oppose the idea, starting at the top: House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) wrote an opinion article for USA Today that argued against increasing the age of eligibility. "It betrays the bedrock promise of Medicare: that Americans who work hard and take responsibility all their lives can know dignity in their later years," Mrs. Pelosi wrote.
Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.), another opponent, said he made his feelings clear to White House economic adviser Gene Sperling when he met with House Democrats a few weeks ago.
Another proposal, also tentatively backed by Mr. Obama in 2011, would change the way the government calculates annual cost-of-living increases, which would slow the growth of Social Security benefits.
Budget experts figure a switch to what is known as a chain-weighted consumer-price index would reduce the projected deficit by about $200 billion over the next decade.
Democratic leaders have been more restrained in their criticism of that plan, but it is opposed by many. "Republicans are proposing we cut that COLA increase of $21 a month on average, in order to be able to preserve the tax rates that millionaires and billionaires are paying," said Rep. Xavier Becerra (D., Calif.).
Another option for curbing Medicare spending might be the easiest for Democrats to swallow: increase costs for higher-income beneficiaries. Mr. Obama has already broken ground in this area.
His budget includes proposals that would curb Medicare spending by raising premiums paid by higher-income beneficiaries to save around $28 billion over 10 years. Seniors groups, including AARP, oppose it, saying such beneficiaries already pay more, and that further increases could prompt them to stop participating in the program.

Take a gravitational field (with all the field lines pointing inwards) and a perfectly circular curve as an object's trajectory. To find the work exerted by the force on the object, compute the line integral $\oint_C\overrightarrow{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{v}=Work=0$; which is to be expected as there is no tangential component to a conservative force, and $\overrightarrow{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{v}=0$ everywhere.
However, work is being done on the planet as it isn't moving in a straight line, and $\overrightarrow{F} $ is the only force around to provide this work.
Therfore, is perfect circular motion unphysical? Is the real motion more like Newton's 'infinitesimal pulling in' model pictured below, the downward pulls being the points where $\overrightarrow{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{v} \ne 0$, for instance? Have I misunderstood something?

Chimney Sweep's Scrotum: 10 Bizarre Job-Related Illnesses
#5. Fiddler's Neck
Likely when you think of a violinist you think of an orchestra, a bunch of people in tuxedos and how god awfully bored you'd be if you were sitting there watching a dude who likely has five cats playing violin for a couple of hours. Well, now you can add a new image to that picture in your mind: hideous growths.
The pressure of holding the violin against your neck leads to Fiddler's Neck, a skin condition complete with scarring, cysts, and pustules. Play the violin long enough, and you can add hyperpigmentation and lichenification to the list.
So not only will you have a prolapsed anus growing out of your neck, but the skin will grow darker, bark-like and as thick as a lizard's hide, only not as pretty. Part of the cause of Fiddler's Neck has been attributed to poor hygiene, indicating what we always suspected; musicians are filthy.
#4. Horn Player's Palsy
Known by those medical types as "embouchure focal dystonia," Horn Player's palsy is when your facial muscles go all gimpy and leave you looking like you're constantly reacting to nude photos of your grandparents.
The high pressures created by the act of playing the horn, the vibration and the demands placed on the muscles can result in a general weakening and involuntary contraction of the facial muscles. The root cause is thought to be a misfiring of neurons in your brain, meaning playing brass instruments can actually cause brain damage. It can cause the facial nerves to become inflamed, leading to facial paralysis. This in turn may cause you to look like Droopy Dog.
#3. Cobbler's Femur
According to the fairy tales, cobblers were good-hearted shoemakers who were often visited by tiny elves who didn't believe in unions, wages or an eight hour work day and we're happy to spend all night doing the lazy ass cobbler's work for him.
In reality, cobbler's didn't even have midget porn to fall back on let alone magic elves and spent most of their days hunched over in a chair, stitching and shaping leather and then hammering soles onto their creations, likely cursing the whole shoe-wearing world at the same time.
Since they often used their thighs as support beneath the shoe as it was being made, the result was a large, horrifying bony growth on the femur from all those years of pounding away on shoes. Use your leg as an anvil, and your body will start turning it into one.
It looks like this condition vanished over time when some revolutionary cobblers finally figured out you can hammer shit on these things called "tables" instead of smashing it into your own body several hundred times a day.
#2. Rose-Gardener's Disease
Roses are the symbol of romance, seduction and bartering for sexual favors. It turns out they also are a source of Sporothrix Schenckii, a fungus that can kill you. If it enters through small cuts and abrasions, like the ones conveniently provided by the rose's thorns, it causes bumps and lesions at the point of entry, and along all the lymph nodes it crosses paths with. Left untreated, the lesions become larger and look similar to a boil, and eventually become chronic, weeping ulcers. The only thing sexier than a bouquet of roses is one handed over by a guy who has sores leaking all over the place.
If leaking thorn holes aren't your thing, the spores can be inhaled, which leads to symptoms like coughing, holes in the lungs and potentially tuberculosis because if a rose has to take you down, it's manly to go out spitting up blood and lung chunk.
Left untreated the infection can spread to joints and bones as well as the central nervous system and the brain. If this happens you can add weight loss, anorexia and bony lesions to the list of symptoms. Next time your girl asks for roses, show her this article.
#1. Miner's Anemia (Ankylostomiasis)
You probably already suspected that coal mining sucked as a job. A miner's job is short on sunlight and long on breathing in dust and crawling through cramped, wet spaces with thousands of tons of earth and rock waiting to cave in on you at any minute. But here's another nice little fringe benefit: Miner's Anemia.
It's caused by massive infestations of hookworms, infestations so large they actually end up consuming most of your red blood cells. It leaves your body depleted and anemic while the parasites gorge like tourists at a 99 cent colon buffet in Vegas.
So why has this happened to miners? Well, mines are big, dark and damp, and toilets hard to come by. Since diarrhea is another symptom, workers would often have to stop and drop one in the massive networks of tunnels where their unfortunate coworkers were likely to stumble through it shortly thereafter.
Poor lighting and worn-out shoes provided the hookworm larvae a chance to transfer to a new host, burrowing into the skin of the miner's feet and tunneling through to the miner's intestinal tract where they'd latch on and feast until they got shat out for the next miner to pick up, completing the shit-worm circle of life.

A Leavenworth woman who was injured in a rollover accident was released from the hospital Thursday, a police spokesman said.
The 30-year-old woman had been listed in critical condition when she was taken to the hospital Sunday night after the crash in the area of Sixth and Chestnut streets, said Maj. Dan Nicodemus, Leavenworth Police Department deputy chief.
The woman had been driving south in a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt when the car struck a parked 1990 Chevrolet Silverado. The Cobalt rolled onto its hood.
The driver was partially ejected through the car's sunroof and her upper body was under the the overturned car, Nicodemus said.
Nicodemus said police suspect the driver may have been impaired.
"It will take some time to get (test results) back from the lab," he said.

The CWC Bulldogs faced off with the Gallatin Co. Hawks in the second night of the Harrisburg Tournament on Wednesday, but had a tough time getting their shots to fall, and lost 58-53.
The Hawks head coach "Radar" Patton had big changes to make this season, and his retooled offense got the needed buckets to take down CWC.
The Bulldogs got off to a good start, but the game fell apart from the second quarter on.
CWC played well early and led after the first quarter, 17-15. But the Bulldogs issues began to creep up in the second, with shots failing to drop and CWC only scoring seven points. Gallatin Co. scored 14 in the second and held a 29-24 lead at the half.
The Bulldogs began to play a bit better in the third, taking a 15-11 advantage and cutting the Hawks lead down to just a point heading into the final quarter, 40-39.
But late in the game, CWC could just not get the necessary shots to fall and some inopportune fouls sealed the deal for the Bulldogs in defeat.
The Bulldogs will have to have all those shots and then some to fall to hang with a still powerful host in Harrisburg on Friday.
Leading the team was Andy Vaughan with 16 points. Jamey Steed added 11 in the game as well.
The Bulldogs will play Harrisburg on Friday at 7:30 p.m. to wrap up the tournament. Early speculation is that if weather cancels the games on Friday, they will most likely be played on Saturday.

_______________________________________________Sorry for the delay in response,I totally agree with Ralph that it's not as easy as it seems,1. rankfile mapper uses already allocated machines ( by scheduler or hostfile ), by using rankfile as a hostfile we can run into problem where trying to use unallocated nodes, what can hang the run.2. we can't define in rankfile number of slots on each machine, which means oversubscribing can take place without any warning.3. I personally dont see any problem using hostfile, even if it has redundant info, hostfile and rankfile belong to different layers in the system and solve different problems. The original hostfile ( if I recall correctly ) could bind rank to the node, but the syntax wasn't very flexible and clear.Lenny.On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 5:15 PM, Ralph Castain <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:Let me suggest a two-step process, then:1. let's change the error message as this is easily done and thus can be done now2. I can look at how to eat the rankfile as a hostfile. This may not even be possible - the problem is that the entire system is predicated on certain ordering due to our framework architecture. So we get an allocation, and then do a mapping against that allocation, filtering the allocation through hostfiles, -host, and other options.By the time we reach the rankfile mapper, we have already determined that we don't have an allocation and have to abort. It is the rankfile mapper itself that looks for the -rankfile option, so the system can have no knowledge that someone has specified that option before that point - and thus, even if I could parse the rankfile, I don't know it was given!What will take time is to figure out a way to either:(a) allow us to run the mapper even though we don't have any nodes we know about, and allow the mapper to insert the nodes itself - without causing non-rankfile uses to break (which could be a major feat); or(b) have the overall system check for the rankfile option and pass it as a hostfile as well, assuming that a hostfile wasn't also given, no RM-based allocation exists, etc. - which breaks our abstraction rules and also opens a possible can of worms.Either way, I also then have to teach the hostfile parser how to realize it is a rankfile format and convert the info in it into what we expected to receive from a hostfile - another non-trivial problem.I'm willing to give it a try - just trying to make clear why my response was negative. It isn't as simple as it sounds...which is why Len and I didn't pursue it when this was originally developed.RalphOn Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 5:28 AM, Terry Dontje <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:
Being a part of these discussions I can understand your reticence to reopen this discussion. However, I think this is a major usability issue with this feature which actually is fairly important in order to get things to run performant. Which IMO is important.
That being said I think there are one of two things that could be done to mitigate the issue.
1. To eliminate the element of surprise by changing mpirun to eat rankfile without the hostfile.
2. To change the error message to something understandable by the user such that they
know they might be missing the hostfile option.
Again I understand this topic is frustrating and there are some boundaries with the design that make these two option orthogonal to each other but I really believe we need to make the rankfile option something that is easily usable by our users.

Both the Black-Scholes PDE{*} and the Mass/Material Balance PDE have a similar mathematical form of the PDE which is evident from the fact that on change of variables from Black-Scholes PDE we derive the heat equation (a specific form of Mass Balance PDE) in order to find analytical solution to the Black-Scholes PDE.
I feel there should be some physical similarity between the two phenomena which control these two analogous PDEs (i.e. Black-Scholes and Mass/Material Balance). My question is, can one relate these two phenomena physically through their respective PDEs? I hope my question is clear, if not please let me know. Thanks.
