Liberty City Life(XBOX 360)
Start of the Game - Players begin the game with $7,000 that can be used to purchase whatever they wish and give them a jump-start to success.
Death (Police Disregard This) - If you are killed by another player (non-execution) you must act out the death as an injury depending on where and how you were injured. You must return to the location of your injury after you respawn and act out everything accordingly such as going to the hospital.
Housing and Businesses - Players are often interested in buying property to live in or work out of. In order to do this, they must search through the property list. If you wish to start a business such as a cab service, head shop or anything else you need a building to operate out of. Only one house may be purchased per player, but any amount of people may stay in an already purchased home if the owner gives them permission whether for rent or free. The only way to collect revenue from a business is to have someone working at it for a daily shift or a steady A.I. worker that is paid just as a regular worker would. If you are a business owner you may work at a maximum of two of your businesses yourself, but you will need to hire additional workers if you wish to collect revenue for 3 or more businesses. The bank can not be scammed IC by an OOC loophole. You can try and not pay your loan IC and risk being arrested but any blatant scamming of the system such as willing the money or giving it to a friend...etc will result in OOC action.
Play Your Role - You must abide by the rules of your chosen characters lifestyle. This means that if you are a civilian, you will not be participating in assassinations, firefights with the cops, or robbing other players. If you do murder someone, it must be with roleplay purposes (they were holding you hostage and an opportunity for escape presented itself, you went crazy when you saw them because they tried to kill you previously). Do as a real life equivalent of your character would do in everyday life.
Purchasing a Weapon - Weapons may be purchased legally from the gun dealer or they can be purchased illegally from the black market (gangs). A gun purchased from the dealer will give the customer a license which allows them to keep the gun if they are arrested for a non-gun related crime. If they have a gun without a license it will be taken no matter what from police during any arrest and the player will receive a fine and jail time. The gun dealer may only sell non-automatic weapons including the knife, pistol(s), shotgun(s), and sniper. Any automatic weapon is considered illegal if used by a non-police officer and can only be purchased via the black market. You may not sell "single-fire" automatic weapons because that will get abused.
Knockout - If two players are in a fistfight and one of the players beats the other to a very low health they "knock them out". The player with the lower health must have his character be unconscious. He does not hear anything that the other players are saying and must do anything that they say.
Facial Reconstruction - If you wish to change the physical appearance of your character for whatever reason you have the option of facial reconstruction. It will be an advanced procedure that will take up to a day to complete. The recovery period will take the rest of the roleplay. A person can only change to a face of the SAME race. It will cost $3000, which you can take a loan for.
Vehicles - Players will automatically be provided with a Standard Drivers License that allows them to drive cars, buses, trucks...etc, however they must purchase additional licenses if they wish to operate vehicles such as Motorcycles, Boats, and Helicopters. Players may drive illegally, but if they are caught by police they will pay a heavy fine and do an extended jail sentence.
State Owned - If a property is owned by the state, it is temporarily owned by the host just as a means for players to get jobs. State owned properties CAN BE PURCHASED.
Gangs - Gangs may be established in-game if players meet together and wish to form a criminal empire. The roleplay will be limited to three gangs with a maximum of 4 players per gang, and if you wish to create a gang you must fill out an application in the gang page. Only 2 gangs will be allowed in each role play unless stated otherwise by the hoster, with a maximum of 3 players per gang on a first come first served basis. Gangs are required to make a post on the website with information about themselves including a ranking system, member list, owned property list, and history if they get their application accepted. Do not create a gang post if your gang hasn't been validated.
Drugs - Drugs are to be sold by a dealer in-game whether it be a lone criminal, or a gang outfit. Drugs may be imported from ship, grown, or purchased from a doctor and/or other dealers. Suggested prices are posted below, but you do not have to follow them. As a drug dealer you may purchase the required items to grow and/or make a drug from the general store. You must designate the location of your grow op to a staff member before you start to grow/make your product. The prices for items will be listed on the general store post. The only items that dealers can grow are meth and weed. Any other drug must be imported or purchased from a doctor.
If you are a criminal you have the option to import drugs through vehicular transport. This option has the most customization. You will make a legitimate system for importing your drugs and ask a staff member about it. If they OK it then you are set to go. One of the main options is to manually boat the drugs to the city. This will be done by driving your boat to the corner of the map on the ocean and stay there for two in game days. Once the two days are up you may bring back the drugs that you have imported to Liberty City. You may import any drug besides Marijuana or Meth.
These two options pertain to growing Marijuana and making Meth. What are unique about these two drugs is that they can be done by civilians as well.
Growing Marijuana
Marijuana seeds can only be purchased online at $50 per seed. The top amount of seeds you can order at one time is 4. The order takes one roleplay to reach Liberty City. To plant the seeds you must have the following from the General Store: Soil, Fertilizer, The Seed, and a pot(if grown indoors). Every seed needs its own pot, unless grown outside. Each marijuana plant can produce 3 ounces every roleplay, which can be harvested accordingly. If the plants are left alone for three roleplays they will wither away and die. If trimmed and kept up then the seeds will regrow. Civilians can only own up to two plants at a time.
Making Meth
Meth can be made by gang members and citizens alike. The materials you need for meth are a Chem Kit, Cold Medicine, Drain Cleaner, and a Bowl. All of these can be purchased at the General Store. To make the meth you must be in a kitchen or lab that either you or a friend owns. There are two types of Chemistry Kits. One is the Basic Chemistry Kit and it produces two grams of meth each roleplay for four roleplays. The other is the Advanced Chemistry Kit and it produces four grams of meth each roleplay and can be used forever.
Purchase from Doctor or Dealer
To purchase prescription drugs like Xanax, Vicodin, or Adderall you may find a doctor. A doctor can choose to illegally prescribe you these drugs which can be resold or abused. You can also resell drugs from dealers who get it from the source. The choice is yours.
The effects of these drugs can be determined by the user themselves however for those lacking drug knowledge here are some common side effects that can influence the players actions.
Marijuana Effects: Hunger, Enthusiasm, Spacey
Meth Effects: Euphoria, Numbness
Cocaine Effects: Overly Happy, Jittery, Excited
Heroin Effects: Drowsy, Euphoria, Hallucinations
Ecstasy: Exhiliration, Intense Euphoria, Intense Hallucinations
Oxycotin: Euphoria, Out of Body, Peaceful
College - In order to become a job that require a degree players must have attended college in-game. In order to attend college, players must go to a determined location in-game (Community College = Warehouse in Easthook by Brucie's house | Private College = Middle Park Museum), and sit in the room for 3 minutes (9-12) on Monday through Friday. It takes 6 in-game days to finish community college, and 10 in-game days to finish private college. Private College will cost $5000, and will be paid in cash upon entry. If a player cannot afford college, they may take a loan from the bank. Community college is completely free for players to attend.
Community College Job List:
Forensic Degree - Police inspector for crime scenes
Paramedic Degree - Command's EMT in assisting wounded individuals.
Engineering Degree - Require to start a construction company
Private College Job List:
Law Degree - Lets player become a lawyer.
Medical Degree - Heal wounded individuals at a hospital and overlook all medical operations.
Business Degree - Business owners get $500 more revenue per property and have a lower interest rate at the bank.
Working - Players may work in up to two jobs per day, as long as they have different shifts for each job, but keep it realistic; A player who is a doctor isn't going to have a second shift as a fast-food cashier.
Job List:
This list shows some jobs player may have. These jobs are not the only jobs players may have, just a helpful listing of potential jobs to get careers started. We use a Tier system where jobs will be ranked into tiers which dictates starting money and salary. While players may switch jobs it will be easy to tell if they try and cheat the system by starting as a doctor and switching to a crack dealer just to get the high starting money.
Laywer:$1200 per game. Can charge any chosen price to customer based on the case they are defending them in.
Doctor:$1200 per game. $100 per heal if a player requests a heal (healing lets the injured person obtain a healthpack). $150 per character death.
Cashier: Minimum of $75 per day, but can be offered more by owner of business. Must work 6-8 hour shifts. Works at desk and counter jobs such as fast food, restraunt, sales clerk.
Laborer: Minimum of $75 per day, but can be offered more by owner of business. Must work 6-8 hour shifts. Works at outside jobs such as Cargo Ships, Docks, Cargo Transportation.
Bodyguard: Salary discussed with owner at time of employment. A bodyguard works for a company or person, and their job is to guard a building or characters safety with their life. They may help important people avoid injury or death, chauffer around the famous, guard prisoners, or stand watch at a business.
Criminal: No Salary. Criminals make money through illegle activities such as robbery, kidnapping, trafficing, extortion...etc. This requires an extremely good roleplayer because of the lawlessness of their role. Criminals may only commit one violent/potentially violent crime per day (kidnapping, robbery), but drug and weapons trafficing may be done at an unlimited amount. Robbery amounts are as follows:
Mugging: $50
Robbing a Store: $300
Kidnapping: $800
Businessman/Real Estate Typhoon: $150 per game. Makes additional revenue by purchasing business and collecting revenue from them. This job can usually only be done once the player has made money in another way so they can afford to purchase said businesses. Business CANNOT collect revenue if players aren't working in their stores, but a businessman may run two of his stores by himself.
Public Transportation: Minimum of $75 per day, but can be offered more by owner of business. The job of a public transportation player is to provide a means of getting around the city for players who do not drive or are stranded. You may receive phone calls and pick people up, or make a regulated route that you follow each game. Vehicles to be used are taxi's and buses. Public transportation employees may charge additional fees for the actual transportation of players and are to inform players of their pricing before players enter their vehicle.
Gun Dealer: $35 per day. Additional salary made through sale commission.. All legitamate gun purchases are made through the gun dealer, and any gun purchased from them will reward the customer with a license for that gun. This means that if they own a license for a gun, it cannot be seized by police if the player is arrested for a non-gun related charge. The gun dealer makes no salary, rather a commission for each gun sale.
Some businesses get perks for owning them which are listed below.
If you own a cemetery than every time a player is CHARACTER KILLED (execution not just killed and sent to the hospital) you receive $250.
You can set up trade with other business owners who will pay to use your service. You also get free imports (still limited in the amount you can import)
Police - Will receive salaries based on rank if they are promoted. They get $50 per successful arrest or ticketing. A list of tickets and jail sentencing can be found in the police forum. The job of a police officer is to make sure all laws and rules of the roleplay are upheld. This requires extreme patience and a level of roleplay that rivals any other job in-game. Police must use necessary force when responding to any situation and be careful with how they deal with crimes. All real life crimes are to be enforced such as evading arrest, assault, possession...etc. Police will be forced to check licenses via the forums when people are arrested, transport suspects to jail, and have a deep understanding of laws. If a criminal wishes for a court case, they will be sent to the North Holland P.D., where they may post bail. Time served at NH P.D. Players may not escape from jail.
Use of mods - Our community openly supports modding. We believe gamers should be allowed to mod their consoles freely. We will accept modders into the community but we have a strict set of rules that anyone (even admins) with mods must follow. Modding, essentially, gives you the power of god. We put a great deal of trust into anyone who has mods and we hope they use them responsibly.
General modding rules:
You cannot use mods:
-To get yourself out of trouble. This means that you can't use speed mods or teleportation to evade police and/or other players in the event it may affect the outcome of the roleplay.
-To kill other players
-To make yourself invincible
-To make yourself invisible
You can use mods:
-To spawn cars for yourself or other players(as long as they own that car or have a roleplay reason to have it)
- To modify cars with Garage Mods
-To change your character skin accordingly
-To teleport(But only at the start of the game)

In a recent Yogscast video it was mentioned that you always spawn on sand in a new world, is this true?
As of 1.8, you do not always spawn on sand. I'm afraid I don't have source code to post, but in all of several worlds I made, I did not spawn on sand.
This is my first foray into decompiling, but if I understand this right, the new initial spawn code does not mention sand at all.
So I thought it best not to post it. Nonetheless, I saw no mention of sand in it either. I checked both World.java and WorldProvider.java. The code posted by yatima2975 does not appear to exist any longer.
Note: As of 1.8, you do not always spawn on sand.
Yes, you do always spawn on sand. Here's a few snippets of the source (decompiled by MCP):
From World.java,here's the function that gets called when opening a world:
From WorldProvider, the relevant function called:
So, when Minecraft starts setting the spawn point, it begins at X/Z 0/0 and moves the point around randomly (with steps of at most 64 in the cardinal directions), until the topmost block at the spawn point is sand.
As to why this happens to be near sea-level (most of the time), I'm not sure, probably sand has a higher chance of generating there.
Using purely anecdotal evidence: Yes
I have just created 10 new worlds and every single one of them has been on sand (and near water).
This is probably due to the idea that you wash ashore on an island at the start of the game.
I have been trying about ~20 times, and in all of those worlds i spawned on sand, and near to a water source. However, if you use a seed in the seed generator such as 3666440496532277820, you will spawn in a dungeon (cobblestone/mossy cobblestone)

It's business as usual for now at Ronnie Hargett's hay farm.
Ronnie Hargett says, "If this weather can stay right and we could have 10 days, two weeks, of some better weather we might get close to getting caught up."
The wet weather has Hargett behind on cutting the hay.
Hargett says, "When you get put behind three or four weeks in a business like that it can cost you to lose a whole cutting throughout the year. Which, in turn, can cause you to lose revenues."
Hargett says he typically has four cuttings per season. He's still working on his first cutting and hasn't yet begun on his second cutting this season.
Hargett grows alfalfa. For him, it's a cash crop because he markets it to out of state horse owners. He says they could go ahead and cut the second crop, but if it rains then all the quality is lost.
Hargett says, "I'd say quality is a big key in the hay business. It certainly has set us back. It's cost us money just through the maturity, and the loss of some of it getting another late cutting this fall. But again, weather will dictate that."
Typically a minimum of three days is needed to get the cutting finished, bale it, and get it in the barn, but wet weather is making that tough to do.
Hargett says, "Last year was an extremely rough year. And I think this year has even surpassed that. I believe it's been worse trying to get hay up."

In D&D Insider's character builder, both Eberron and D&D Home campaign presented as separate options when creating a character. Does choosing Eberron vs. "D&D" actually make any changes or restrictions (similar to those for the Dark Sun setting) in character builder? I ask because my players have rolled their characters in the default setting and I recently decided that our next campaign would take place in Eberron since its a much better fit for their characters and the tone of the campaign I am going for.

Home Campaign is code for "everything goes".
All the other options are supposed to limit choices to ones either permitted (as Lair Assault and Encounters seasons may have regulation determining selection options) or suggested (Dragonmarks do not appear in canon Forgotten Realms).
The only mechanical impact that I can see for selecting the Eberron setting, is that the background options are limited. For example, Forgotten Realms Player's Guide backgrounds do not appear as options (though Neverwinter ones do).
I would have expected that setting specific themes, such as the Dark Sun ones, classes such as the Bladesinger, deity choices such as Pelor, and a more complete set of setting specific backgrounds (such as the aforementioned Neverwinter ones) would also have been restricted, but it appears not.
From page 5 of the Eberron Player's Guide.
This would seem to support all of our conjecture in the comments section. Thanks for weighing in everyone.

Do you have a url prefix set? If you click on the link where does it go in the browser?
This looks to be a configuration issue with your setup. I'd suggest reading through the getting started documentation.

Cannot load JSON store in Architect
I'm experiencing this issue with the Architect 2.2.2 and any JSON stores.
I've tested with the example CarListings project without modifying it. Architect cannot load the store even though it can be opened in the browser. I'm using the built-in Senca CMD web server (latest version).
I get the error message as described above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently assessing Sencha Architect for my company.

Does BeRov 'Am Hadrath Melech (the King's glory is in the multitudes, ie., the more people praise HaShem together, the more glorious it is for Him) apply to making Kiddush? I've heard it said so somewhere, but I cannot remember where. I'm specifically interested in whether it is better to have one person making Kiddush at a large meal or having everyone make their own.

See Aruch HaShulchan 273:6 where he writes that there are those places where everyone makes his own kiddush, but "it is not appropriate to do so, and you should prevent them from doing this, and teach them that the mitzvah is better when one person makes kiddush on behalf of everyone." And he writes that the reason it is better is because of ברוב עם הדרת מלך
The Mogen Avraham Siman 193:2, Shulchan Aruch Horav 185:4, and Mishnah Berurah Siman 193:5 say that it's best if everyone says it with the leader because it's hard to be Mechavin and listen to the Mekadeish.

In Killer Bunnies when a Bunny has a "feed your bunny" card on it you have until the end of your turn to feed it. If you draw a Terrible Misfortune card (plays immediately) can you play it on the bunny that needs to be fed (assuming you can't feed it)?

Yes, you may since your turn isn't over until you replace your Bottom Run card in Step (4), which occurs after you draw back up to five cards. Under the rules for Feed Your Bunny it says:
and for Play Immediately cards:
So, when you play a Feed Your Bunny card on an opponents bunny, they only have until the end of their turn to feed and save it. So, when is the end of your turn? The Blue Starter Deck rules breaks down the steps of your turn as:
(Note: the yellow/blue bunny bits rules were very confusing since they didn't breakdown the turn into steps, "A player's turn is over when he has flipped his TOP RUN card (or played a SPECIAL card directly from his five-card hand), and has replaced the card so that he once again has five cards in his hand and two cards down on the table.")

Should I get a new HDTV now or wait until the holiday specials start rolling out?
So, my son hit my $1300 Samsung TV with a "ninja sword" and popped the LCD panel. It's got "spiderwebs" running through the picture and as a result, hundreds of dead lines of pixels. It's not covered under any sort of warranty and it's not covered under home-owners (I've already checked).
I have looked at replacing it with a 3D with LED technology, but I'm not really sure what a fair price is. I've looked at Amazon and TigerDirect, I've checked Sam's and Wal-mart (Best Buy isn't allowed to have my money) and I'm not sure. I would like to have a new one before football season starts, but I can wait if it will save me a few hundred bucks.
What do you think?
18 Answers answer
I would hold off for cyber monday or if you're truly brave, black friday.
@superheman: The biggest reason I think I should wait is that we're getting ready to buy a 2nd home and put this one up for sale. I think any big expenses probably need to wait until the dust has settled
BTW, does anyone want a 3 year old child?
Tigerdirect.com - right now - is doing some pretty decent sales on HDTVs. I think it lasts maybe 3 more days.
Go here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/hdtvweek_2011/public.asp?cm_sp=Masthead-_-RightMast-_-HDTV-Week
Signup to receive the stupid "private invite" or whatever and it'll link you to even more deals.
Some are new and some are refurbs. And granted the sales aren't as "huge" as they are saying (they're calculating from MSRP and not from actual prices compared to Amazon and the like), but they are still some sales.
wait. if anything, there will be more in depth reviews of the 3D LED tvs that are out right now. then you'll be able to pick the best tv and get a better price. it's win-win.
@capguncowboy: I would take the three year old, but (and you need to pay close attention to this one) I don't give them back. He could have his own room. I'm retired, and (as my daughter will attest) I'm a good time as a parent; strict on the things that matter, and utterly indifferent on the ones that don't. I have no rules about cleanliness (other than insisting children sleep outside if they don't want to bathe, since I prefer not having to wash bedding). There's no rules on what foods you can or can't eat, but I fix the food I like, and that's that. There's no junk food in the house, and not likely that there will ever be, either. No fast food, for that matter.
I can, on the other hand, spend hours watching toads that are just starting to think about winter, and where they want to dig in for their long sleep.
I know that you're joking, of course, and I'll bet your little boy feels bad enough already. Still, tell him he had an offer. ;-}
Some B&M stores may have some decent sales for Labor Day. Check all the ads in your Sunday paper, and sure, feel free to toss out the Best Buy ad. I'm not a fan of theirs either. If you live near a Fry's Electronics check them out.
There are also lots of sites you can check out for bargains, like slickdeals.net, techbargains.com, dealnews.com, etc. Prices really are ridiculously low right now and while there may be some true steals come Black Friday, there are still lots of good prices to be had practically any day until then.
Since you have a small child who likes to swing swords you may already have a Costco membership. Check out their quasi-monthly coupon book and remember that they extend all warranties to two years, plus a generous return policy as well.
As for the TV you have to ask yourself, "Can I either get away to a sports bar every Sunday until the move is final or can I stand to watch it on a screwed up tv?" I cannot imagine skipping football as an option.
As for the kid, no thanks. my twin 4 year old boys are plenty.
@capguncowboy: I'll take the 3-year-old....but only if I can trade you for my 2-year-old.
Consider your financial situation and personal level of patience. That's how you should make your decision.
No matter when you buy your tv, a few months later it could be much cheaper.
@shrdlu: lol, thanks for the offer, I'm certain you'd be an excellent fill-in mother, but I am a little attached to him -- even if I am irritated by his behavior. The poor little guy will be 4 on Thanksgiving this year and he's already nearly 4 feet tall and 50 lbs. He doesn't realize he's not 5 or 6 because all the kids that live nearby are that age and the same size. He tries his best to play the things they like to play but he's a little clumsy, so he breaks stuff. I was the same way as a child until I was about 6 or 7.
@mgherter: I already have one of those. She's a drama queen, but she is our little Fraggle. Always the center of attention and the happy-go-lucky type.
@packmanv29: Football season is the only time of the year that I even watch TV. My kids commandeer it the rest of the year. I have a 32" LCD in my room, so I'll probably be watching a lot of football in there. It's unbearable to try to watch anything on the bigger TV in the living room, the lines are really bad.
@capguncowboy: Do you play Fantasy Football? We totally should've done a Woot league this year!
@bonoman: I do actually. This is my 5th year doing it and it always helps pass the weeks between games. I have really enjoyed it despite my hesitation to start way back when
It's not too late to do a woot league TBH. Drafts are open through Saturday. I'd join!
I know you don't like best buy but their extended warranty might be worth it with a little one about. I've never used it so I can't vouch if they stand by it but I'm sure they do. Their accidental is if it breaks they replace it. I was told that even if I hit it with a hammer just to see what would happen that they would replace it for me.
There's also other 3rd party warranties but as I have never used them either I can't vouch for any. IE: Squaretrade.
As for should you get one now or wait. I've been debating the same thing myself and honestly it's close enough to black Friday/cyber Monday to just wait.
@dravack: I had a warranty via squaretrade.com but failed to get the accidental damage coverage. I'm pretty sure it wasn't offered back then though
One other thing to check is that many credit cards offer an extended warranty on products you buy with their cards. Check the fine print, you never know.
Since you are looking to change homes, that in itself is reason to wait. I was passing a TV section and noticed this fantastic 70" Sharp TV. The price was too high for me, but what it means is that the 55" and 60" TVs will be coming down in price. That would be a second reason to wait.
@capguncowboy: Not sure what size you wanted. I swore you said it somewhere up there but it's to late for me to find it. But not the point. I just saw this and thought this was a good deal. $772.99 for a 42 inch LED 120 hrz etc..
I don't think it's 3d ready though a few google posts seem to say it is.
LG's site
Also note that LG website Q&A says no.
er I just remembered you said no best buy but either way there's a price point for you to see. Also can get Walmart to price match since it's in this weeks store ad for best buy.

WEIRTON - The Oak Glen Golden Bears made it two wins in as many weeks over Madonna Tuesday, combining good pitching and timely hitting while taking advantage of five Blue Don errors for a 7-4 come-from-behind win at Ed Bowman Field.
The Golden Bears were shut out through five innings by Madonna's Tory Furscardo, but broke through for six runs in the top of the sixth inning sending 11 batters to the plate.
Meanwhile, junior mound ace Bub Haddox came on in the fourth inning to pitch four shutout innings and pick up the win. While pitching to only two batters Michael Rodgers sustained the Blue Dons' loss.
Madonna has lost two of six games thus far, but both losses have come at the hands of the Golden Bears.
"You can't win giving up five errors," said Blue Don coach T.J. Brancazio. "I don't think it was a case of Tory Fuscardo running out of gas, we just didn't field the ball well behind him. Then Haddox came in and pitched well. We hit the ball off him, but we just made mental mistakes and errors on the field. You can't do that and win games."
Going into the game with revenge on their minds, the Blue Dons scored all four of their runs in the first three innings off of Oak Glen starter Tyler Click. Madonna got five of its eight hits off Click.
"We played two innings," said first year Oak Glen coach Mat Deveaney. "We were pretty dormant the first five innings. We didn't get off to a good start hitting the ball - we haven't been. We are relying too much on the big inning. That's one thing we have to change. We had a five-run inning against Madonna in the first game last week."
The big inning came in the top of the sixth when leadoff hitter Matt McLaughlin worked Fuscardo for a walk. He was erased when Tyler Steed grounded into a fielder's choice, but Steed and the next five batters scored.
Steed scored on a Trey Smith single to center field and Haddox trotted home when an errant throw from the outfield trying to get him at third base went out of play. Alex Wedgewood walked to put runners on the corners. He was the last batter that Fuscardo faced.
Michael Rodgers, who did not start in his customary spot at second base because of an injured left wrist, came on in relief to face designated hitter, Andrew Bailey. Bailey hit a bouncer to third base, but the Dons couldn't make the play at home on a sliding Smith.
"We got the ground ball we wanted, but we didn't make the play and perhaps it wasn't a good decision to go home in that situation," Brancazio explained.
Rodgers walked Alec Swiger to load the bases forcing Brancazio to bring in his pitching ace, Luca Fuscardo, to protect a one-run lead.
Freshman Zac Porter greeted Fuscardo with a smash to left center field that drove home Wedgewood and Bailey. The next batter, Kyle Woodruff hit a dribbler to the right of the mound that Fuscardo fielded and threw to first base, but the ball got away allowing Swiger to score the sixth run.
The Golden Bears tacked on an insurance run in the seventh when Haddox led off with a single to right, his second hit of the game. He stole second and raced home when Wedgewood singled to left field.
"Porter is a freshman coming off the bench and that was a key hit he got in the rally," said Deveaney, whose team improved to 4-5.
"He is showing maturity as a freshman and is hitting the ball. And Alex Wedgewood also got a key hit in the seventh to drive in an insurance run. He has been hitting the ball well, too."
Luca Fuscardo drove in sophomore shortstop Kaleb Baire in the first inning and scored two more runs in the second inning on a Tory Fuscardo RBI single and two straight Oak Glen wild pitches.
Luca Fuscardo scored in the third after working a walk and racing home from third base on an Oak Glen error.
Madonna travels to Wheeling Central Thursday while Oak Glen returns home to face East Liverpool today.

UBS Holders Back Pay Plan
Bonuses After 2012 Loss Had Drawn Fire; Pressure to Split Off Investment Bank
ZURICH— UBS AG's shareholders approved management's pay at its annual meeting as the lender sidestepped calls from an activist investor to split off its investment bank.
More than four-fifths of shareholder votes were in favor of UBS's annual pay report even though Switzerland's biggest bank by assets posted a loss in 2012. Several shareholders speaking at the sometimes-contentious meeting said pay levels for top UBS executives, including Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti, are too high.
UBS's continuing operations in the relatively risky business of investment banking, meanwhile, were flagged by shareholder Knight Vinke Asset Management before the annual meeting.
UBS executives told investors it is striking the right balance on both pay and investment banking risk. Mr. Ermotti said last year's net loss of 2.5 billion Swiss francs ($2.7 billion) obscured important progress the bank is making in a continued restructuring following the financial crisis.
"Whenever you set about rebuilding a house," Mr. Ermotti said, "it's sometimes necessary to tear down a few walls."
The meeting caps a difficult year for UBS, which struck a $1.5 billion agreement to settle with regulators in the U.S., U.K. and Switzerland regarding alleged manipulation of key interest rates. In addition, the discovery of a rogue trader in its London office helped to mar 2012 for the bank.
Late last year, UBS said it would shed 10,000 employees over the next three to five years, as it moves to slim down its investment bank and refocus on its core business of managing assets for wealthy clients.
Earlier this year, UBS disclosed that Mr. Ermotti received 8.9 million Swiss francs in compensation for 2012, split between a 2.5 million-francs salary and 6.1 million francs in performance awards. UBS's Americas chief, Robert McCann, received 8.6 million francs for 2012 including roughly 7.1 million francs in performance awards.
At the shareholder meeting, UBS Chairman Axel Weber defended the bank's pay levels, though he acknowledged UBS is "not likely to ever come up with a perfect solution" for everyone. Still, he said, "I'm confident we're striking the right balance" between incentivizing employees and satisfying shareholders.
A total of 82.5% of UBS shareholder votes were in favor of the plan, while 15.8% were against it and 1.7% abstained. The numbers marked greater support of management than at last year's meeting, at which there was a 37% vote against UBS's pay plan.
Still, Bern-based shareholder group Actares said Wednesday that "big bonuses and a big [annual] loss do not go together." The Ethos Foundation, a group of institutional investors, had also recommended shareholders vote against UBS's pay report.
Despite revamps to executive compensation at UBS and other Swiss banks, "the amounts paid are still too high," Ethos said in a statement.
Before Thursday's meeting, New York-based investor Knight Vinke in an open letter had criticized UBS for continuing to operate an investment banking business. Knight Vinke argued that UBS should split the more risky investment bank operations from its wealth management businesses.
Keeping the investment bank under the same roof as UBS's other businesses presents too much potential danger for the overall operations, Knight Vinke Chief Executive Eric Knight wrote.
In part due to a strong performance from its investment bank, UBS surprised analysts and investors by posting a better-than-expected profit of nearly 1 billion francs in the first quarter. albeit it cautioned that the first quarter is traditionally strong for investment banking in general.
UBS executives didn't directly address Knight Vinke's criticism during Thursday's meeting.
This year's proxy season for Swiss banks got off to a fractious start last month, when shareholders of Zurich-based Julius Baer Group AG cast nearly 64% of their advisory votes against the bank's pay report.
Credit Suisse Group AG followed with a relatively sedate annual meeting, at which nearly 88% of shareholders voted in favor of its pay report.
High executive pay is a contentious issue in Switzerland, where voters have backed a national plan that would enable shareholders to have a binding vote on pay plans at Swiss firms. However, many of the large shareholders invested in UBS and other Swiss banks are based outside of the Alpine nation.
Shareholder Peter Lampart provided some levity during what was at times a contentious face off with investors disgusted by high pay for executives at a bank that's struggled with scandals and a prolonged reboot. Mr. Lampart silently held up a collage that prominently featured the phrase "Ripped Off!" in German. He then performed an intricate mime act that at one point had him dramatically crying fake tears.

My girlfriend and I love thermal bath and spa and we would like to visit one or more of these places in our stay in Switzerland. Is there any list of the available baths/spa and their characteristics?
A Swiss online resource I know is this one. It lists a lot of Spas in Switzerland that are worth a visit. I quickly checked it, and all I know of are on the list. Unfortunately the list is in German, but at least some of the further links are also available in English.
If you're looking for an English resource I would recommend this site. It also lists a lot of Spas in Switzerland and also here I could found all spas I know.
I personally can recommend Therme Vals. It is a little bit out of the way, but it is really beautiful and also from an architectural point of view worth a visit.
I'm not sure about spas, but if you're interested in hot baths, there are quite a few in the lake Geneva area (the area I'm familiar with):
(Note: I've only ever been to the first two)
Main selling point is that you can combine the slopes and the hot baths. One of the best days out I ever had was sledging followed by hot baths followed by a fondue aux bolets!
Time limited (3 hours, by default), no babies or toddlers (4+), expect queues on weekends with bad weather...
Val d'Illiers
And something completely different... If you happen to visit Geneva, then you could try going to "Bains des Pâquis". Located in the very city centre, on the Geneva lake, this place allows you to relax in sauna/hammam, swim in the lake and enjoy delicious fondue afterwards.
Booking in advance is recommended. Also check the opening hours. This association closes relatively early.
Another nice place I visit is Leukerbad
There are mountain activities (e.g skiing during winter, hiking during summertime) and two good public bath:
If you plan to stay more than one day, a pass can be a solution as it gives free entrance to both bath (unlimited time) and to the cableways (Torrent and Gemmi).
After it depends as well if you have small children, on the second bath, they only allow children from 8 years old and further but is more quiet and less crowded. We really enjoyed it with my wife: it is perfectly romantic as well :)
For people with a smaller child I recommend to go only to the Burgerbad Therme because they even accept babies in some parts.
There are also other bath in some hotels, but I never tested as it is reserved for the customers only.

Here's a wonderful letter I received recently from a thoughtful ex-member of the far-Right British National Party. There is a lot we can learn from Alistair Barbour in challenging the far-Right. As I have said before, when the pathetic excuse of an 'anti-fascist' and Post-modernist Left allies itself with Islamic fascism, it leaves the space open for the far-Right to address this issue from an inhuman and racist perspective. That's why the work of groups like One Law for All is so important. And it will be made all the stronger with voices such as that of Alistair's. Alistair gave me permission to publish his letter in full.
Dear Ms Namazie.
I hope you don't mind me sending this mail through this site I am a subscriber to your blog on 'freethought blogs.com' and received your posting relating to the far right. I have tried to send this article to that email address also but as it says 'no reply' I don't hold out much hope of you getting it through that channel. If this email can not be sent to Ms Namazie would it be possible to let me know.
I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that a few years ago I was becoming very concerned about certain things in our country that I actually joined the BNP [the far-Right British National Party]. A shameful weight that I shall carry round my neck for ever. Please allow me to explain as briefly as I can.
I had never been one for watching TV and the internet was a total unknown source for me so I had heard little bits about the BNP but very little really. I was too busy working and bringing up 2 sons on my own. Looking back now I can see the pattern of why I became political.
There was real problems with the country, political Islam being one of the them. At the time I spoke to the 3 main party's and they just appeared to not want to face up to some very real problems that society was facing. Anyways a friend of mine asked me to come to a political meeting, a BNP meeting. I thought what the hell, it will be interesting won't it.
Anyways to try and be as brief as possible. I know now that I was primed. I had been thought the courts for a few years. My ex-wife had taken my house and left me with 2 sons. I definitely got the best deal, two great sons who are now young men,but I think at the time the anger with the unfairness in the system was festering. My sons were now older and I suppose I maybe noticed what was going on in my country. [Read more…]

Garlic Roasted Asparagus with Fresh Herbs and Lemon RecipeGarlic Roasted Asparagus with Fresh Herbs and Lemon
In addition to being rich in vitamins A and K, asparagus is a source of saponins, which possess anti-cancer properties and the potential to improve blood pressure. Asparagus also contains a prebiotic called inulin that promotes a healthy digestive tract.
Fresh asparagus is one of the easiest vegetables to prepare. It cooks quickly and pairs well with citrus and herbs. Serve this side dish with steamed fish or grilled chicken.
Yield: 4 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
- 1 lb. asparagus, tough part of stems trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

A gluten-free diet is essential, and the only treatment for managing celiac disease. In addition to wheat, foods that contain gluten include:
Your doctor may refer you to a dietitian, who can help you plan a healthy gluten-free diet.
Once gluten is removed from the diet, inflammation in the small intestine generally begins to lessen — usually within several weeks, though you may start to feel better in just a few days. Complete healing and regrowth of the villi may take several months to several years. Healing in the small intestine tends to occur more quickly in children than adults.
If you accidentally eat a product that contains gluten, you may experience abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some people experience no signs or symptoms after eating gluten, but this doesn't mean it's not harmful. Even trace amounts of gluten in your diet can be damaging, whether or not they cause signs or symptoms.
If your nutritional deficiencies are severe, your doctor or dietitian may recommend taking vitamin and mineral supplements. You may need to supplement your levels of:
Vitamin supplements are usually taken in pill form. If your digestive tract has trouble absorbing vitamins, your doctor may give them by injection.
If your small intestine is severely damaged, your doctor may recommend steroids to control inflammation. Steroids can ease severe signs and symptoms of celiac disease while the intestine heals.
If you have this itchy, blistering skin rash that sometimes accompanies celiac disease, your doctor may recommend a skin medication (dapsone) along with the gluten-free diet.

BELLAIRE A new scholarship was approved by the Bellaire Local School District Board of Education on Monday, the result of the generosity of businessman Richard Hornbeck.
The new Richard Hornbeck Scholarship will be for a graduating student from Bellaire High School Recipients who will have to be working on a 4-year degree. The student must complete the first two years at Ohio University Eastern. The scholarship will be administered through the Bellaire Endowment Fund.
The board of education unanimously accepted the donation for the scholarship.

THE?BELLAIRE Board of Education accepted a donation from Richard Hornbeck during its regular meeting Monday. The donation will be used to create the Richard Hornbeck Scholarship and will be administered by the Bellaire High School Endowment Fund. Students will have to be working on a 4-year degree and must attend their first two years at Ohio University Eastern in St. Clairsville. Pictured here at the meeting are, from left, Board member and Chairman of the Bellaire Endowment Fund Ron Marling, Richard Hornbeck, Dan Frizzi Jr., attorney for Hornbeck and E.J. Schodzinski, director of marketing, Ohio University Eastern.
"I would like to personally thank Mr. Hornbeck for his generosity," said Board Member Ronald Marling who is also the chairman of the Bellaire Endowment Fund. "For the students of Bellaire High School, this is a great opportunity. For the Endowment Fund, as the chairman, its a great opportunity that will not be taken lightly."
Marling then introduced Hornbeck to the board and those attending the meeting, who recognized him with applause.
Marling further thanked Hornbeck for the donation and said it will benefit students for many years to come.
In other news, the board recognized students during the "Parade of Champions."
Students from the elementary school to receive the distinction for their outstanding work were: Adam Mamie, Makenzie Lahna, Brody McGilton, Nevaeh Stevey, Paxton Marling, Taylor Rife, Ryley Wright, Isaac McConnell, Patrick Matthews and Kaley Bryan.
The middle school mixed things up a bit, recognizing last year's seventh grade volleyball team. According to Derrick McAfee, principal, Bellaire Middle School, the girls not only excelled athletically, but also academically as a team, finishing the year with a collective grade point average of 3.666. Those student-athletes recognized were: Makenna Berka, Mariah Bologna, Abbey Cusik, Marissa Dippel, Ayren Greenlee, Riley Hoepfner, Kelsie Jarvis, Khiah Kimbro, Megan McCarthy, Sailor Myers, Lexie Parker, Sloane Porter, Bre Spears and Taylor Stoner.
Two high school students, Michelle Maffee and Jacob Thornton were also recognized for their commitment to the school.
Following an executive session to discuss personnel which lasted for about 15 minutes, the board took action on issues.
The board heard the second readings of the third grade reading skills assessment and intervention policies.

Every year we celebrate our local windmill with a fair, the 'Molenmarkt' as we call it.
And every year I take some photos and panoramas of this event.
This year there was a particular challenge, which I took on with my home made 10 ft handheld pole. Unfortunately my lightweight MFT Samyang FishEye had not arrived yet, so I had to put the heavy equipment on top.

I had to do some post processing, as the thing was very wobbly... ;-)

Waterbury Beatles tribute was most enjoyable
I recently was at Waterbury's Palace Theater when 2,000 or more were "Rained" on, and enjoyed every minute of it.
"Rain," a Beatles tribute show, was a great success, as evidenced by the applause, arm-waving and singing. The memories of the '60s were shown on side screens. Featured were John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Ed Sullivan and TV dance shows.

Are we back to BOCrashing?
New woot, old server errors?
At the last wootoff using the old site, I got my first BOC ever. It was also the first BOC sale where I never saw timeouts, server errors, etc. Has the new site actually taken a step back in its ability to handle the traffic rush?
6 Answers answer
Not sure, but I've been timing out for 15 minutes or so. Just when I'm about to give up I get one step closer.
It's a 4 step process for CCs now. Get the front page to load, click the button. That takes you to the more details page. Click again and you have to log in (I logged in an hour ago and it made me do it again anyway), and then you'll still have to add the security code. I'm not really sure why having to click "Buy" twice is considered a design improvement.
The developers are crying over their servers as they try to fix it.
@thunderthighs: Win!
Crying over the severs will only short circuit the servers though... no wonder.
Woot-IT: Woot let the smoke out, Woot, Woot, WootWoot!
(Note - computers run on smoke. Let the smoke out and they die)
That was the most infuriating BOC I can ever remember. It lasted forever but was still virtually unobtainable. Only once did I make it past the "service Unavalable" page, but even when I got past it just took me to the "we need you to log in one more time page," which only lead to another round of "Service Unavailables"
At 3:40 AM I threw in the towel and went to bed.

I was wondering why the last digit of $n^5$ is that of $n$? What's the proof and logic behind the statement? I have no idea where to start. Can someone please provide a simple proof or some general ideas about how I can figure out the proof myself? Thanks.
Alternatively, you could prove that $n^5-n$ is divisible by $10$ by induction. If $n=0$, it is obviously true.
Assume true for $n$, we need to show that:
$$(n+1)^5-(n+1) = n^5 + 5n^4 + 10n^3 + 10n^2 + 5n + 1 - (n+1) \\=n^5 - n + 10(n^3+n^2) +5n(n^3+1)$$
is divisible by 10.
But $n^5-n$ is divisibly by $10$ by induction, and $10(n^3+n^2)$ is obviously divisible by $10$, so all you need to show is that $5n(n^3+1)$ is divisible by $10$, which is the same as proving that $n(n^3+1)$ is divisible by $2$.
The fundamental reason for this, as everybody has noted, is due to rules of modular arithmetic.
Note, the last digit of $n^5$ can only be affected by the last digit of $n$. That is, the 1s digit of any power of $n$ will only be affected by the ones digit of $n$, and not the 10s, 100s, or any other digit. So, you only have 10 cases, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. All you have to do is try them separately. $0^5 = 0$, $1^5 = 1$, $2^5 = 32$, $3^5 = 243$, ..., $9^5 = 59049$.
If you've heard of modular arithmetic, all numbers mod 10 are going to be in the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$. And, this is why we only need consider these 10 cases.
$$n^5-n=n(n^4-1)=n(n^2-1)(n^2+1)=n(n^2-1)(n^2-4+5)$$ $$=n(n^2-1)(n^2-4)+5n(n^2-1)$$ $$=\underbrace{(n-2)(n-1)n(n+1)(n+2)}_{\text{ product of }5\text{ consecutive integers }}+5\cdot \underbrace{(n-1)n(n+1)}_{\text{ product of }3\text{ consecutive integers }}$$
Now, we know the product $r$ consecutive integers is divisible by $r!$ where $r$ is a positive integer
So, $(n-2)(n-1)n(n+1)(n+2)$ is divisible by $5!=120$ and $(n-1)n(n+1)$ is divisible by $3!=6$
$$\implies n^5-n\equiv0\pmod{30}\equiv0\pmod{10}$$
I won't explain you that it's true because you discovered it was true !
Fermat's little theorem tells us that :
$$k^5\equiv k\pmod{5}$$
Further $k^5$ will be even or odd when $k$ is even or odd.
We may produce this table of powers with that property :
$$1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21\cdots$$
The pattern is clear : you'll get the same result for $p=4n+1$ with $n\in \mathbb{N}$.
Numbers whose last digits of powers occur in cycles of 4:
31 = 3
71 = 7
81 = 8
Alternating last digits
91 = 9
Powers of numbers ending in 1,5,6 will always end in 1,5,6.
Therefore we can observe from the above cases that,
If $\gcd(a, n) = 1$ then by Euler's theorem,
$$a^{\varphi(n)} \equiv 1 \pmod{n}$$
From the tables and as @SeanEberhard stated, $$ \varphi(10) = \varphi(5*2) = 10\left( 1 - \frac{1}{5} \right) \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2} \right)$$
$$= 10\left(\frac{4}{5} \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right) = 4$$
Let $n=10$ and thus,
$$a^{\varphi(10)} \equiv 1 \pmod{10} \implies a^{4} \equiv 1 \pmod{10}$$
Multiply both sides by $a$,
$$a^{5} \equiv a \pmod{10}$$

Imagine the beginning of a game of pool, you have 16 balls, 15 of them in a triangle <| and 1 of them being the cue ball off to the left of that triangle. Imagine that the rack (the 15 balls in a triangle) has every ball equally spaced apart and all balls touching all other appropriate balls. All balls are perfectly round. Now, imagine that the cue ball was hit along a friction free surface on the center axis for this triangle O-------<| and hits the far left ball of the rack dead center on this axis. How would the rack react? I would imagine this would be an extension of newtons cradle and only the 5 balls on the far end would move at all. But in what way would they move? Thanks
This question was cross-posted on Math Stack Exchange. Here is a copy of my answer for it there.
This is it. The perfectly centered billiards break. Behold.
This break was computed in Mathematica using a numerical differential equations model. Here are a few details of the model:
The initial speed of the cue ball is immaterial -- slowing down the cue ball is the same as slowing down time. The force constant $10^{11}$ has no real effect as long as it's large enough, although it does change the speed at which the initial collision takes place.
The Collision
For this model, the entire collision takes place in the first 0.2 milliseconds, and none of the balls overlap by more than 0.025% of their radius during the collision. (These figures are model dependent -- real billiard balls may collide faster or slower than this.)
The following animation shows the forces between the balls during the collision, with the force proportional to the area of each yellow circle. Note that the balls themselves hardly move at all during the collision, although they do accelerate quite a bit.
The Trajectories
The following picture shows the trajectories of the billiard balls after the collision.
After the collision, some of the balls are travelling considerably faster than others. The following table shows the magnitude and direction of the velocity of each ball, where $0^\circ$ indicates straight up.
$$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{ball} & \text{cue} & 1 & 2,3 & 4,6 & 5 & 7,10 & 8,9 & 11,15 & 12,14 & 13 \\ \hline \text{angle} & 0^\circ & 0^\circ & 40.1^\circ & 43.9^\circ & 0^\circ & 82.1^\circ & 161.8^\circ & 150^\circ & 178.2^\circ & 180^\circ \\ \hline \text{speed} & 1.79 & 1.20 & 1.57 & 1.42 & 0.12 & 1.31 & 0.25 & 5.60 & 2.57 & 2.63 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
For comparison, remember that the initial speed of the cue ball was 10 units/sec. Thus, balls 11 and 15 (the back corner balls) shoot out at more than half the speed of the original cue ball, whereas ball 5 slowly rolls upwards at less than 2% of the speed of the original cue ball.
By the way, if you add up the sum of the squares of the speeds of the balls, you get 100, since kinetic energy is conserved.
Linear and Quadratic Responses
The results of this model are dependent on the power of $3/2$ in the force law -- other force laws give other breaks. For example, we could try making the force a linear function of the overlap distance (in analogy with springs and Hooke's law), or we could try making the force proportional to the square of the overlap distance. The results are noticeably different
Stiff Response
Glenn the Udderboat points out that "stiff" balls might be best approximated by a force response involving a higher power of the distance (although this isn't the usual definition of "stiffness"). Unfortunately, the calculation time in Mathematica becomes longer when the power is increased, presumably because it needs to use a smaller time step to be sufficiently accurate.
Here is a simulation involving a reasonably "stiff" force law $$ F \;=\; \begin{cases}0 & \text{if }d \geq 2, \\ 10^{54}(2-d)^{10} & \text{if }d<2.\end{cases} $$
As you can see, the result is very similar to my initial answer on Math Stack Exchange. This seems like good evidence that the behavior discussed in my initial answer is indeed the limiting behavior in the case where this notion of "stiffness" goes to infinity.
As you might expect, most of the energy in this case is transferred very quickly at the beginning of the collision. Almost all of the energy has moves to the back corner balls in the first 0.02 milliseconds. Here is an animation of the forces:
After that, the corner balls and the cue ball shoot out, and the remaining balls continue to collide gently for the next millisecond or so.
While the simplicity of this behavior is appealing, I would guess that "real" billard balls do not have such a force response. Of the models listed here, the intial Hertz-based model is probably the most accurate. Qualitatively, it certainly seems the closest to an "actual" break.
Note: I have now posted the Mathematica code on my web page.
This is more of a comment inspired by Jim Belk's answer than an answer to the question in itself. It is also more physics than mathematics. However, I hope I can help readers see that this system is related to some very interesting science.
I wanted to say a little bit about the dynamics of the energy transfer in the billiard break. Very naïvely, you might think of a triangular lattice of interacting particles (the billiard rack) as acting like a discrete model for a crystalline solid. Solids support sound waves (just knock on your table and listen), and so again naïvely we might expect that the billiard break occurs via some strong compressional sound waves propagating through the system, akin to those vibrations induced when knocking on wood. However, this naïve intuition is wrong!
A system of billiards all just barely touching, like Newton's cradle, is an example of a sonic vacuum (see e.g. this expository physics article).
The term was coined by Vitali Nesterenko to describe mechanical systems where the speed of sound vanishes and the tiniest perturbation must lead to supersonic shocks -- behavior very far from that of ordinary sound. The usual formula for the speed of sound in say a chain of identical masses joined by identical springs is $v_s=\sqrt{k/m}a$ where $k$ is the spring constant, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the length of the springs. In a system interacting via a nonlinear force law like Hertz's, the effective spring constant is $df/d\delta|_{\delta=0}=0$ (where $\delta$ is the overlap between particles) which actually vanishes! Thus the speed of sound is zero. This is a very special situation which occurs because the particles are all just barely touching.
The consequence of all this is that energy cannot propagate via ordinary sound, and what appears instead is a shock wave, satisfying a nonlinear PDE. In Jim Belk's pictures, this is what we see as the "shock front" colored yellow traveling from the point of impact through the billiards.
Nesterenko wrote down a continuum limit for systems of Hertzian particles (the following is specialized to particles arranged on a triangular lattice):
$\frac{\partial^2\xi}{\partial t^2}=c^2\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}\left[\xi^{3/2}+\frac{2R^2}{5}\xi^{1/4}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}(\xi^{5/4})\right]$
(If one wants to study shock waves in systems of particles interacting with other force laws, then some of the exponents here change). Also, none of the above discussion really depends on the "perfectly centered" initial condition. I think the paper I cite below may give you some idea of what can happen as we vary the initial angle.
The derivation of the above equation is apparently in Nesterenko's book "Dynamics of Heterogeneous Materials", though I learned it from this very relevant paper coauthored by some friends of mine: Transmission and reflection of strongly nonlinear solitary waves at granular interfaces, by A. M. Tichler, L. R. Gomez, N. Upadhyaya, X. Campman, V. F. Nesterenko, V. Vitelli. In this paper they study the propagation of shocks through interfaces between packings of billiard balls of two different masses. I think you'll agree it's quite close to the billiard break.
Here's figure 2 of Tichler et al's paper.

First Contact: Or, It's Later Than You Think (Paperback)
June 2010 Indie Next List
"I am impressed with Mandery's concisely drawn yet vivid characters, with his 'translation' of the lives of aliens, and with the insightful commentary woven gently and insistently throughout the book. His handling of the post-modern, self-referential trope is masterful and refreshingly light. This could be confidently recommended to anyone who likes Vonnegut, Adams, Fforde, satire in general, and--yes-even Mr. Pratchett."
— Emma Aprile, Carmichael's Bookstore, Louisville, KY
A satirical joyride in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, First Contact introduces us to the hyper-intelligent Rigelians, who admire Woody Allen movies and Bundt cake, and who urge the people of Earth to mend their ways to avoid destruction of their planet. But the president of the United States, a God-fearing, science-doubting fitness fanatic, is skeptical of the evidence presented to him and sets in motion a chain of events that will change the lives of his young attachÉ, an alien scam artist, several raccoons, and a scientist who has predicted the end of the universe. Parrot sketch excluded.
Praise For…
"First Contact was love at first sight! What a hilarious ride - the uber surreal meets The Daily Show. I'm now staring at the cosmic calendar waiting for Mandery's next contact."
-Tim Dorsey, Author of Nuclear Jellyfish
"Very funny... Mandery's gleefully chaotic narrative packs just the right punch as he weaves in heady inter-galactic topics of censorship, physics, and, yes, the PTA."
-G. Xavier Robillard, author of Captain Freedom
"Mandery's sharp sense of humor and habit of addressing the reader make for a stimulating and intelligent read that's never short on laughs."
-Publishers Weekly
