Stupak: Don't test me on abortion, Democrats
posted at 1:36 pm on November 17, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
After the House adopted the Pelosi Plan for ObamaCare with the Stupak amendment barring any federal funds for abortion coverage, Democrats attempted to assuage pro-abortion advocates by committing to changing the language in conference committee. Even the White House got in on the act, with David Axelrod promising that Bart Stupak's language would be "adjusted" before any bill came to the Oval Office. Today on Fox News, Stupak threatened to kill the bill entirely if Democrats "adjusted" his amendment — and took a shot at David Axelrod as well:
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) pledged this morning to defeat healthcare reform if his abortion amendment is taken out, saying 10 to 20 pro-life Democrats would vote against a bill with weaker language.
"They're not going to take it out," Stupak said on Fox and Friends, referring to Senate Democrats. "If they do, health care will not move forward."
Stupak's amendment prohibits any insurance plan on a potential healthcare exchange from accepting federal subsidies if it covers abortion. Pro-choice lawmakers say that language is too broad and would drastically reduce access to abortion. …
"[T]hat is why Mr. Axelrod is not a legislator, he doesn't really know what he is talking about."
Stupak says he has somewhere between 10-20 votes that would flip if they strip his amendment. That's a far cry from his 40 votes when he insisted on getting an up-or-down vote in the first place. It wouldn't keep the conference bill from getting passed in the House, but his activism on the issue may make it stickier for Democrats to do anything in the Senate to water it down. Ben Nelson has already demanded Stupak's language in the Senate bill before he'll allow it to proceed, which will infuriate other Senate Democrats like Barbara Boxer.
Bottom line: this has created a fault line for Democrats that they didn't need in 2009, and they risk a bad split with Catholics over it, as Politico reports:
By teeing up a public battle over abortion in the health care bill now before the Senate, congressional Democrats could be risking more than just the fate of the legislation.
Hanging in the balance are millions of Catholic swing voters who moved decisively to the Democrats in 2008 and who could shift away just as readily in 2010.
According to exit polls, President Barack Obama won the support of 53 percent of Catholic voters, a seven-point increase over the showing of the Democrats' 2004 nominee, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), a Catholic. Among Latino Catholics, who are often more conservative than their white counterparts on social issues, Obama did even better, winning more than two-thirds of their support, a 14-point improvement over Kerry's totals, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center.
Those gains will be at risk if a polarizing abortion fight takes place in the Senate.
This further confirms that Republican support for Stupak's amendment was not just the right thing to do on principle, but on strategy as well.

JDE Global Partner Summit
By Hartmut Wiese-Oracle on Feb 01, 2013
What a good event! More than 120 sessions have been delivered to 700 people in total over the last 4 days. As every human being I could only attend one out of 12 streams which have been delivered in parallel. Here are my personal highlights during the last days:
Lyle has mentioned and showed a couple of very important information. OneView Reporting is now available for 9.0 customers. This was announced during the Keynote speech from Lyle on Tuesday morning. I strongly recommend all partners to reach out immediately (before Oracle is doing that) and resell OneView reporting to your customers. We have also seen a preview of the next enhancements regarding the User Interface. Please stay tuned for the 9.1.3 tools release announcements in the future.
Once again JD Edwards Development delivered a new functionality regarding Health & Safety Management. There has been a detailed workshop on Monday and also a breakout session to explain the functionality in more depth. Also Lyle highlighted this. For those who participated you might always remember "nails in head" like I do.
We have also seen the new User Interface for the JDE E1 Business Accelerator. There has been a Super Session on Tuesday and a breakout session on Wednesday with a detailed live presentation. The new Portal has a shopping card experience to select the needed processes for a customer implementation. Also the whole navigation has changed and it is really intuitive and very easy to understand, to use and to manage during future JDE implementations. This new UI only exists for JDE. Again a commitment from Oracle to JDE and to the Accelerator approach. I recommend each partner to verify the three existing JDE Accelerators and to use them for your implementations to get your customers live easier and faster. You find more information in the Accelerate Knowledge Zone herePartners hiring new junior consultants should verify www.ilearnerp.com. This Partner has created an online learning tool which is targeted only to get new hires to a junior consultant level. This offer is explicitly targeted for JDE Edwards partner only. They do not do any implementation. The estimated time to get to this level is 6-8 weeks. Currently the offering is available for Finance and Distribution. After each "lesson" there are all kinds of links to the content Oracle provides. This partner is willing to invest into translations and more content based on requests. They are offering standard packages but they are happy to discuss individual needs as well. The benefit for a partner using this service is simply that the senior consultants can be billed throughout the time and the junior are able to understand the seniors after that period.
Also very important to know and to use is the Oracle Learning Library. For those who are looking for dedicated content this is the place to go. Lots of new content and good filters to easily find the content you are looking for.
But the most important think to take away is the passion and power which I felt in every session. EnterpriseOne as a product has never been so strong as it is today. Oracle and Business Partner around the globe are very successful in winning new customers, upgrading the existing customers and also in retaining customers who has been out of maintenance.
A big "Thank you" to all EMEA Partner who participated this summit in Broomfield (Denver). We started with the first EMEA JDE Partner Community meeting already on Sunday prior to the event. I am going to provide the content from that session on the beehiveonline workspace in the near future. Regarding the event I truly believe everybody has his personal "takeaways" like me. Please share your feedback, comments and highlights regarding the summit here as well.

History textbooks – for example, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, and The Life and Death of St Kilda: The Moving Story of a Vanished Island Community. Tom Steel by Tom Steel – are some of the most frequently updated books by publishing companies. The field of History is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of History books to rent – we have them all!
These problems aren't limited to History studies. Africa and Americas are related subjects that often see frequently updated editions as well. Textbook rentals are much easier. Start to rent textbooks with BookRenter and save on History textbooks, as well as Ancient textbooks, or whatever you like! They're better than used textbooks.
Students do not have to spend a vast amount of money on history Textbooks when taking history courses in college. Attending college is already an inexpensive undertaking. Purchasing history Books often adds hundreds of dollars to the expense. Instead of spending large amounts of money on textbooks, college students would do well to rent textbooks.
BookRenter.com provides students with the required books for their college classes. Students rent used textbooks for a reasonable price. They can then use the books during the semester that they take a particular college course. If necessary, students are permitted to extend the length of textbook rentals. They may even choose to eventually purchase the book if they desire.
Most college students are required to take at least one history class throughout the course of their academic careers. Purchasing from BookRenter.com is a smart way to buy quality textbooks without sacrificing money needed for food and other living expenses.
Renting used books is the ideal way to acquire textbooks for the classroom. When students rent used textbooks, they do not have to rely on using credit cards, payday loans or personal loans to purchase expensive books they will only use for one semester. Instead, by doing business with BookRenter, students can avoid increasing their personal debt.
Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students. Every day, we focus on delivering students the best prices, the most flexible options, and the best service on earth. On March 13, 2012 BookRenter.com, Inc. formally changed its name to Rafter, Inc. We are still the same company and the same people, only our corporate name has changed.

What is the equivalent of "quench" when speaking of hunger? Is it appropriate to say you quenched your hunger?
Sign up

Sate, "To satisfy; fill up" is the usual term.
In etymology, quench and sate are somewhat parallel: quench derives via an Old English word from a Proto-Germanic word, while sate derives via a Middle English word from an Old English word from a West Germanic word.
Note, sate came into use half-a-century before satiate, the latter directly from Latin satiatus, pp. of satiare, "fill full, satisfy", and the former from M.E. saden ("become satiated") as an alteration under the influence of L. satiare.
I'd go with satisfy.
The formal answer is that you satiate a hunger, and you quench a thirst - as @jwpat7. The problem is that both of these words are used for other drives or needs, and they have differing meanings for the form of resolving the drive.
Quench tends to mean pour water on, not necessarily to satisfy the need, as much as to cool it - of course, when it comes to thirst, the water or liquid will satisfy it too. The image I always have is of being in a waterfall, where you can drink as much as you want, and there is still plenty, but you are going to get very wet.
Satiate can be used for a more "animal" satisfaction, where the person takes what they need, and then stops. It is far more agressive, far more a lion finding its prey, killing it, and when satiated, leaving the remnants for other beasts.
So while they are parallels, they also convey different senses.
You could stanch or stay your hunger: take the edge off it with a relatively small meal (or a large one, used ironically): or fulfil, repair or other generalised words implying filling in a lack. ("a hunger that it took forty minutes solid work to repair", Jerome K Jerome, Three Men on the Bummel.)
Well, a "quench my desire" line from Michael Jackson's Give in to Me comes to mind, suggesting that quench may be used with a wide spectrum of "cravings".
There's one answer I haven't seen here and that's to quell hunger. There is also to appease hunger but that isn't quite the same meaning.
I've always said satiate. The root of satiate is sat which, in Latin, means enough. It is derived from the Latin word Satiare, which is derived from Satis, which, in turn, means enough. Other words with the root sat are satisfy or saturate.
Thirst is to quench as hunger is to satiate.
I'd go with "stave off hunger".
From idioms.thefreedictionary.com:
I see hunger and thirst as things that can be temporarily avoided, but not permanently disposed of. The definition does also refer to thirst, but I've heard "stave off" referred to hunger more than thirst in my experience, as evidenced by this Google Ngram:
Another term which implies a similar meaning, but which is used less often is "to keep hunger at bay".
When hunger no longer exists, I'd probably say "I'm full" rather than a statement indicating that my sense of hunger has dissipated. The way I see it, a feeling of fullness replaces hunger much more than a feeling of satiation replaces thirst, so there isn't a direct alternate to the word "quench" in relation to hunger. The closest thing I can think of would be to "satisfy your hunger". Here's a Google Ngram comparing "quench your thirst" to "satisfy your hunger", as well as a comparison to their opposites of "quench your hunger" and "satisfy your thirst":
Comparing "stave off hunger" and "satisfy your hunger" ends up roughly equal in usage, at least according to the Google Ngram:
In the end, it's up to you as to what you wish to communicate.
Assuage can be, and often has been, very effectively used with hunger.
You 'satiate' your hunger. A more definite way of saying 'satisfy'. 'Satisfy' seems too vague

Let $(G, *)$ be a semi-group. Suppose
- $ \exists e \in G$ such that $\forall a \in G,\ ae = a$;
- $\forall a \in G, \exists a^{-1} \in G$ such that $aa^{-1} = e$.
How can we prove that $(G,*)$ is a group?
Let $(G, *)$ be a semi-group. Suppose
How can we prove that $(G,*)$ is a group?
I assume that (a) should read $\exists e\in G$ such that $ae=a$, $\forall a\in G$. For each $a \in G$ we have
$$\begin{align*} (a^{-1})^{-1}a^{-1} &= e[(a^{-1})^{-1}a^{-1}]\\ &= (aa^{-1})[(a^{-1})^{-1}a^{-1}]\\ &= [(aa^{-1})(a^{-1})^{-1}]a^{-1}\\ &= (a[a^{-1}(a^{-1})^{-1}])a^{-1}\\ &= (ae)a^{-1}\\ &= aa^{-1}. \end{align*}$$
Multiplying $(a^{-1})^{-1}a^{-1} = aa^{-1}$ on the right by $(a^{-1})^{-1}$ yields $$\begin{align*} (a^{-1})^{-1} &= (a^{-1})^{-1}e\\ &= (a^{-1})^{-1}[a^{-1}(a^{-1})^{-1}]\\ &= [(a^{-1})^{-1}a^{-1}](a^{-1})^{-1}\\ &= (aa^{-1})(a^{-1})^{-1}\\ &= a[a^{-1}(a^{-1})^{-1}]\\ &= ae\\ &= a, \end{align*}$$
so $a^{-1}a=e$ for all $a \in G$.
In other words, $a^{-1}$ is both a left as well as a right inverse for $a$. It follows that
$$ea = (aa^{-1})a = a(a^{-1}a) = ae = a\;,$$
so $e$ is a left as well as a right identity for $G$. Now you can use the usual arguments to show that the identity and inverses are unique. (For example, if $e'$ were another identity, we'd have $e = ee' = e'$, because $e$ is a left identity and $e'$ is a right identity.)
It is conceptually very simple that a right inverse is also a left inverse (when there is also a right identity). It follows from the axioms above in two steps:
1) Any element $a$ with the property $aa = a$ [i.e. idempotent] must be equal to the identity $e$ in the axioms, since in that case:
$$a = ae = a(aa^{-1}) = (aa)a^{-1} = aa^{-1} = e$$
This already proves the uniqueness of the [right] identity, since any identity by definition has the property of being idempotent.
2) By the axioms, for every element $a$ there is at least one right inverse element $a^{-1}$ such that $aa^{-1}=e$. Now we form the product of the same two elements in reverse order, namely $a^{-1}a$, to see if that product also equals the identity. If so, this right inverse is also a left inverse. We only need to show that $a^{-1}a$ is idempotent, and then its equality to $e$ follows from step 1:
$$[a^{-1}a][ a^{-1}a] = a^{-1}(a a^{-1})a = a^{-1}ea = a^{-1}a $$
3) It is now clear that the right identity is also a left identity. For any $a$:
$$ea = (aa^{-1})a = a(a^{-1}a) = ae = a$$
4) To show the uniqueness of the inverse:
Given any elements $a$ and $b$ such that $ab=e$, then
$$b = eb = a^{-1}ab = a^{-1}e = a^{-1}$$
Here, as above, the symbol $a^{-1}$ was first used to denote a representative right inverse of the element $a$. This inverse is now seen to be unique. Therefore, the symbol now signifies an operation of "inversion" which constitutes a single-valued function on the elements of the set.
See Richard A. Dean, "Elements of Abstract Algebra" (Wiley, 1967), pp 30-31.
This is stated with left identity and left inverse as Proposition 20.4 in the book Spindler: Abstract Algebra with Applications. Let me copy here the proof from this book (it should be easy for you to change it for the right instead of left):
I googled a little and found out that several authors take this in fact as a definition of group, here are some of the first hits from google books when searching for "left inverse" "left identity" group:

In FM 2010 when you offered a player a contract your assistant would give advice about whether it was a good signing etc!! This doesnt seem to appear in FM 2011 demo or am I missing something!
Any help please
In FM 2010 when you offered a player a contract your assistant would give advice about whether it was a good signing etc!! This doesnt seem to appear in FM 2011 demo or am I missing something!
Any help please
Yeah, I think this has definitely gone - it may be hidden somewhere, though, as it seems strange that they'd remove it...
Perhaps it was done with the intention of making scouting more important?
In 2010 you sometimes got their feedback and sometimes you didn't.
I raised this as a bug here:
and was told that was what's supposed to happen.
Looks like it's been removed for good now which I think is daft.
Perhaps you could get his advice before opening contract negotiations with them?
I mean in the old system did you think he came bursting into the Board Room as you were penning a contract screaming "Don't do it boss, he's shiiiiiiiiiiite!". Or perhaps he was stood outside the window with a cheeky wee grin, giving you the thumbs up as you were were signing the contract?
"Sorry Mr. Beckham, it has suddenly come to my attention that my assistant Terry over there thinks you are a terrible player. Sorry to have dragged you all the way down here for nothing. If you'll just leave my pen on the table as you leave, that'll be grand."

That last post made me lol. ^
You could exploit the system before by hiring a 20/20 judging ability assistant manager and then offering contracts to unattached players that you otherwise wouldn't be able to scout. The assistant would somewhat accurately tell you whether the player was going to be a superstar for you, when in reality there was no way he would know as the player was either out of your scouting area, or you simply hadn't bothered to scout him. I hope that makes sense.
If I fired up a German Third Division team that only allowed scouting in central Europe, prior to this change I could manually go through all the South American clubs offering contracts to players to see what my 20/20 assistant manager thought of them. I could then sign the players he stated would be superstars on frees. I always assumed this was exactly the reason that the feature was removed.
The best way to deal with that so-called exploit is not to do it. I had never even thought of that. And you could always just use FMRTE. A person who did that is pretty stupid.
This takes away a helpful feature in dealing with contract negotiations. Apparently you arent aware that SAF signed that Portuguese striker sight unseen based solely on the word of ex ass man Queroz?
It was an absurd gaming decision. Scouts arent the only staff that can and do have opinions on players.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure you can tell your assistant manager to scout a player, which is essentially a more comprehensive version of the feature you want returned.
Finally, unless your assistant manager is better than all your scouts at judging a player, then why do you even care? Just scout the player with one of them. It's absence isn't really a big deal.
Basically, Ferguson would have had to bid the millions of pounds, have it accepted, receive Bebe's demands, and only then get Queroz's advice for it to mirror the old feature in FM.
You are right..although Ive heard the actual fee was less than a million??
IMO, the game should be as optional as possible. on the player page, all the attributes (including hidden ones) should be available. At game start, a player should be able to decide how many (or how few) he or she wants to see. Some people would like to play with no attributes showing.
For scouting, the player should decide whether they want fewer, normal, or more player reports.
For staff interaction/advice the player should be able to decide between none, average, or much.
Notice that none of these options affect the ME or AI at all. Its just how much info you want; sometimes depending on how busy you are and how much time you actually have to play the game.
I would also like an option to allow the AI to cheat to make the game harder. No one had been able to create an AI that can fairly compete with a living breathing human. Allowing the AI access to things the human cant see would make the game more challenging.
IMO, allowing as many ways as possible to play the game would allow for a far wider variety of players to further enjoy the game.
It says on Wikipedia that the fee was reported to be 7.4 million pounds. Or perhaps 9 million euros. Either way it was quite a bit.
These guys say the fee was half of that..its all too byzantine.
It certainly means more checking of the info in scout reports in FM11.
Personally I always thought it was a bit strange that the ass man would have a worthy option without actually seeing the bloke play.
As it is I would like to see a condensed opinion in the 'make offer' page from the scout who scouted him. If not scouted then I'm not too bothered that the ass man comment has gone. I think it should be one of those features that could be enable or disabled.

Lexington, NC -- Co-founder of AOL Steve Case announced Thursday his company Revolution Growth will invest $20 million in the Lexington, NC-based company Lolly Wolly Doodle--founded by first-time entrepreneur and mother of four Brandi Temple in 2008.
Case said Revolution Growth's investment will help the Lolly Wolly Doodle company scale its operation, more deeply engage with customers, recruit additional executive talent and expand its market presence online and offline.
On her company's website, Temple explained she learned how to sew at a young age. When she became a mom, as she wrote on her site, "I starting sewing clothes for my young girls as a hobby, because I couldn't find anything in stores that matched and was tasteful and fun... At one point, I had purchased too much fabric for a pattern. I figured there had to be others just like me searching for the same, fun dresses--so I decided to make a few extra items and sell them on an eBay store."
Within two weeks, that eBay store got so many orders that Temple had to transfer her online transactions to Facebook. Since then, her company has expanded into a booming social commerce apparel company--a Made-in-the-USA company that is now the largest company in the world transacting on Facebook.
Of the decision to invest in Lolly Wolly Doodle, Case said Revolution Growth invests in companies that can "change the world." WFMY News 2 will be talking with Temple via Skype on Thursday afternoon and will provide updates on this story on the evening newscasts.

To the editor:
We want to say thank you to the veterans for their service, and Merry Christmas.
Argonne Post 33 and Auxililary Unit 33 had their 21st-annual Christmas luncheon on Dec. 11 at the post hall. Sixty veterans from Catherine's Care Center, Bolger's Country Club Manor, Sienna Skilled Nursing and Rehabiltation, Belmont Manor, Villa Royale, Villa Vista, Carriage Inn of Steubenville, Gables Care Center, Carriage Inn of Cadiz, Country Club Manor and the Laurels arrived in vans, along with the owners of the nursing homes, activity directors, nurses and drivers.
Mayor Domenick Mucci gave a welcome and led everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance, and Peg DalBenzio, auxiliary chaplain, said the blessing. Santa Claus and Mucci passed out certificates of appreciation to all the veterans. Veterans also were presented with gift bags that were filled with numerous items that were purchased with money donated by local merchants, including DiAnniballe and Co., Barium and Chemicals Inc., Shorac Funeral Homes, Mosti Funeral Home, TEAM Ford, Wal-Mart Super Center, Wheeler Funeral Home, Lancia Villa Royale, Villa Royale, Villa Vista, Bolger Country Club Manor and Sons of the American Legion. Many Auxiliary members and Legionnaires helped with the planning, cooking and baking and helped with getting the veterans in and out of the building.
Thanks also to the Herald-Star and Lou Tripodi of Steubenville Bakery.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the local veterans for their dedicated service and for keeping our nation free, proud and strong. God bless them all.

I'm trying to build a mob zoo but the Enderman keeps escaping. Is there any way I can keep it in? Are there blocks they can't teleport through?
Endermen can teleport through any type of block if there is ample space on the other side.
What you could do is cover the ground outside with blocks they can not teleport on top of. As far as my understanding goes, the only blocks they can't teleport to are water and lava (Source).
Endermen can only pick up the following blocks source
As long as you make zoo out of something else (like cobblestone, fences, wood etc...) the Endermen should not be able to break your zoo.
Note however the Endermen have the ability to teleport - this is probably why they are escaping. To my knowledge the Endermen will teleport to any available space, regardless of what blocks are between those two points. The only way I can think of to prevent the Endermen from teleporting would be to invalidate all of the potential teleport destinations within teleport range of the zoo, for example by getting rid of any 3-high spaces (Endermen are 3 blocks high and so can only teleport into 3 block high spaces)
Also the Endermen can despawn, and so could also "escape" that way.
You can just put a sign in the cage, that says "escaped Enderman on the loose, watch out".
Maybe add some humour to the whole thing. I can near guarantee, if there is another cage around the Enderman, he will teleport to it. Enderman are not meant to be contained, be warned!
Just dig down deep into the ground. Have ladders on the hole going down. Endermen have a teleporting range of 32 blocks. Make every part of the tunnle 2 blocks high, for the enderman can't teleport to any place that is less then 3 blocks high (as in tunnel size). Make sure the cage is 3 blocks for the enderman to wander around. And don't let any other cage exceed the 2 block high opening.
You can make everythinbg BUT the cage that the endermen is in only 2½ blocks tall, by putting slabs on the roof. Put water on the roof too.
I think that you can use Nether Brick. They are black blocks that are crafted from Netherrack, which is only found in the Nether. One of my friends tried to trap an Enderman using this material and checked on him a few timesIt appeared that he couldn't teleport out or despawn.
Another you may want to try is End Stone. Minecraft Wiki says that:
my friend made a endermen trap and they used soul sand so the endermen couldn't escape I can back it up because I also tried it and it worked
EDIT: the endermen Couldn't teleport up because the soul sand was stopping them

The 61st Annual Detroit AutoramaWritten by Eric Geisert on June 4, 2013 "America's Greatest Hot Rod Show"
There are seven towns or cities in the United States named Detroit. One is on the East Coast and one in the West, with the remaining sprinkled throughout the Midwest. But only one of them has hosted the Autorama for the past 61 years and that is Detroit, Michigan (aka the Motor City).
Since 1953, the show was held in various locations around the city but, once organizers moved in 1961 into Cobo Center, the massive convention building downtown on the edge of the Detroit River, they've never left. The show has grown from humble beginnings as a way for the Michigan Hot Rod Association to help finance a local dragstrip for its members, and the efforts were hastened when they hired Don Ridler to promote the annual event. Ridler, who died in 1963, was able to lay out the format for the show that is still followed today; give the people what they want, and give them a lot of it! Nowadays the event bills itself as "America's Greatest Hot Rod Show", and it's hard to argue the point.
This year the show drew just over 800 cars from 34 states plus Canada, and folks came in record numbers through the doors to check them out. A few years ago the basement of the facility was reinstated as a "car show" area (in fact it's where the event was first held back in its early years) and renamed Autorama Extreme 1953. Now it's an area where you'll find a more traditional approach to hot rodding, and it's a complete show-within-a-show.
Sponsored by Meguiar's, the Extreme has its own awards presentation, entertainment, dealer and lifestyle display booths, and attitude. In one corner of the room folks could watch as legendary customizer Gene Winfield was busy chopping the top on a 1939 Chevy coupe. The octogenarian started the work on Friday afternoon and had lowered the lid, cut down the door tops, and had it all stitched back together by Sunday afternoon.
Upstairs, Don Ridler would be justifiably proud of the diversity found on the main floor of Cobo. Besides the dozens of manufacturers that ringed the room, special areas were set aside for a tribute to the Batmobile (with three examples of the car from its lengthy career) as well as the 19th annual Toy-A-Rama, where you could pick up all sorts of automobilia. A Cavalcade of Customs highlighted a group of rides looking like they rolled right out of the 1950s, and a Feathers Tribute (sponsored by Ford) showcased a handful of restored and customized Thunderbirds from 1955 to 1957.
In another corner you'd find the Motorcity Mavens Auto Art panel jam and charity auction, where pinstripers from all over the country gather to stripe whatever is put in front of them. Other painted items are auctioned off, with the proceeds benefitting Leader Dogs for the Blind. It was a charity close to the heart of Bob Larivee Jr. (aka JR), the CEO of Championship Shows (the manager of all the Autorama and World of Wheels car shows). After dying at age 61 late last year, a tribute was created in the form of a Gibson guitar, which was pinstriped and lettered to commemorate both JR and the Ridler award, and it sold at auction for $1,950. Another display featuring one of JR's hot rods was located just inside the main door of the hall, along with several photo collages depicting his life and loves.
This year being the 50th anniversary of the Don Ridler Memorial Award, a special display sponsored by the Henry Ford museum, featuring dozens of past winners, was located just inside the main doors of the hall. Among the cars it was especially nice to see the "Deora" (the 1967 winner built by Mike Alexander) parked alongside the "Top Banana" (the 1969 winner built by Mike's brother, Larry).
The 2013 Autorama was also one of the locations where STREET RODDER picked 10 of the Painless Performance Top 100 cars for the year, and finalists were drawn from both the downstairs show as well as the upstairs.
But among the nearly 600 vehicles located upstairs, a handful came to compete for the show's top honor: the Don Ridler Memorial Award. And being the 50th anniversary of the award, competition was especially high this year. But though dozens of hopeful car owners apply, only eight are culled into the prestigious Pirelli Great 8 as finalists for the Ridler. The eight are notified and a special plaque signifying their standing is displayed alongside their car throughout the three-day show. Sometime during the awards presentation early Sunday evening the winner is announced and a crowd immediately surrounds the car, owner, and builder for lengthy interviews by different news organizations and well-wishers alike. Ron Cizek, from Omaha, Nebraska, was named this year's Ridler winner for his '40 Ford coupe built by the CAL Automotive Creations team, headed up by Andy Leach. (Look for an extended feature on this car in an upcoming issue).
It was a thrilling end to a spectacular three-day weekend—something the show's organizers and the Michigan Hot Rod Association should certainly be proud of. And though it's true this Detroit is different from any other city with the same name, so can the Autorama truly distance itself from any other car show out there.

The Detroit Autorama's Preservation Award was bestowed upon Rick Augsbury, who now owns the 1932 Ford his dad, Jim, built and chopped in the early 1950s. A Cadillac engine went in around 1953, and the Fordillac then saw a couple of other owners before Jim was able to buy it back in 1997. Repaired and restored, the car made its debut at the Autorama as the only surviving hot rod from the 1950s-era Genesee Gear Grinders Club.Long and lean describes Steve White's convertible 1953 Cadillac, which he named "Root Beer Float". The one-off 20-inch wheels came from Curtis Speed, and the engine is a ZZ383 crate motor. The ride was built at Ryan's Rod & Kustom in Ninety Six, SC.Despite what you might have heard, four-doors can be cool, too! Nick Zakarian's 1964 Mercury wagon sports a 390 Super Marauder underhood and a low-down stance.Look close and you can see through the clear acrylic hood on Tim Gunsalus' 1946 Chevy truck. Chopped 4 inches and with the doors converted to suicide, the pickup was built and painted by the owner.Don't let the powder blue paint fool you—there's a Hemi under the hood! Mark Renko from Olmstead Falls, OH, rolled into the show with his 1941 Willys, which uses a body and chassis from Outlaw Performance. Body, paint, and assembly was done by Greg Bickford of Bickford's Auto Restoration.One of the cleanest Deuce five-windows we've seen in a while belongs to Bill Cromling of Grafton, OH. Built by Precision Hot Rods & Fabrication in Ohio, the 1932 is equipped with a 324 Olds motor and painted 1940 Packard Blue by Precision's Mark Mindzora.It's not all Fords and Chevys at Detroit. Plymouths sneak in there, too, including Dave Foshe's 1938 convertible, which featured a blown 426 Hemi underhood.Lauren Rose displayed her 1941 Hupmobile, which had its driprails removed, a 454 Chevy under the hood, and an elegant two-tone paintjob from Dave Cromwell of D.C. Hot Rods.
Jim "Smitty" Smith is smiling because he was high bidder at the Motorcity Auto Art Mavens charity auction on a specially prepared Gibson tribute guitar. The Les Paul was pinstriped by Rick Harris to honor the memory of Bob Larivee Jr. as well as commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Ridler award. Advanced Plating customized the satin black axe by gold plating much of the hardware.Designed and built by Daniel Dennis from Shelby Township, the "Golddigger" is based on an 1982 Shay body (the same company that made Model As in the 1980s). Allan Edwards did the paint, and the car competed in the Nostalgia class.Inducted this year into the Autorama's Circle of Champions by their peers for their outstanding efforts in support of the Detroit Autorama were (from left) Dwayne Peace (last year's Ridler winner), Chip Foose (builder of several Ridler-winning cars), Bob Vivian (helped co-found the MHRA in 1951), and Bob Larivee Jr. (manager of the Detroit Autorama for 20 years)—whose wife, Bonnie, and daughters, Lindsey and Megan, accepted for Larivee who died in August 2012.Winfield and Springborn determined 1-5/8 inches would be taken out of the posts, doors, and roof in order to get the right look.

Agricultural Research Service
Gardens Unit
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The objective of this service agreement is to allow the Herb Society of America (HSA) to provide funds to ARS so an intern may be hired to support the operation of the National Herb Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum (USNA) and to allow HSA financial contribution toward maintenance and development of the National Herb Garden and its programs if funds are available.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
The intern involved in support of the National Herb Garden conducts a variety of gardening and other maintenance tasks such as watering, weeding, mowing, mulching, deadheading, fertilizing, and pruning. The intern is also involved in support of the educational and display functions of the National Herb Garden in assisting with the development of educational posters and displays as well as educational programs. The intern also assists in the collection and entry of plant accession data. Aside from assistance in funding the intern, HSA has partnered with the USNA in the development and maintenance of the National Herb Garden and its programs.

On small private aircraft the engine is placed at the front of the fuselage, or on the wings E.g. Stationair, Otter
On combat aircraft the engine/s is placed at the end of the fuselage E.g. Raptor, Typhoon
On larger aircraft constructed to carry cargo/passengers the engines are placed on the wings E.g. DC3, A380
The positioning probably has to do with the amount of load to be lifted into the air, and manouverability desired... which seems sensible.
Yet most water-going craft (boats, power-boats, merchantmen, naval craft) have their propellers/push-pull placed at the back of the fuselage.
What is the advantage in placing the driving component for boats in this position in addition to protecting them against damage? Can the propellers on a boat, with adequate protection say- a tubular enclosure, placed alongside the fuselage not drive the watercraft with equal efficiency and power?

I'm looking at playing a Slayer in the coming Open Beta, and I was hoping for some feedback from people who had played more than I have in the Closed Beta, about how the racial abilities synergize with the Slayer class. I understand how all the racials work, I'm more interested in the intersection between said abilities and the game play style of the Slayer class. Specifically I care about PvP (though, other domains are important to me).
In general, the racial skills in TERA aren't meant to be super-critical in your choice of race.
That being said...
None of the other races synergize very well.
In the end, I'd choose an aman or a castanic. If you're going to focus exclusively on PvP or PvP is all you will do end-game, then Human is not a bad choice either.
Adding onto @Shaun's excellent answer, there's one more thing to consider: hitbox.
Playing as an Aman, you're one of the largest classes in the game. This is excellent for tanking damadge, as the larger your hitbox, the more that you have the chance to block. It also makes it easy for your priest to heal you, as you're easier to click. But for PVP, you stand out like a sort thumb.
And vice-versa for Elin.
Aside from hitboxes and racial abilities, the only other deciding factor of class is aesthetics.

5 Clearly Fake News Stories The Media Told You Were True
The media doesn't always have time for such time-consuming practices as "fact checking" and "thinking about this for a moment to work out if it sounds idiotic." News reporting is a fast-paced and hectic industry -- if you take 30 seconds longer than your competition to report on a story, then your readers will wonder what the hell they're doing reading your website instead of theirs.
The only way to avoid this, if you're a journalist, is to immediately scream every piece of news that seems vaguely plausible. Unsurprisingly, bullshit frequently slips through, like the news that ...
#5. The iPhone 5 Would Have Hologram Projection
The Story
We have to admit, consumer technology is moving so fast that it's hard to know what not to believe when it comes to pre-release rumors -- Gizmodo could claim that the next iPhone will suck text messages right out of your brain and we'd have to at least consider it plausible. So when a Fox News New York affiliate heard that the iPhone 5 was going to come with a holographic keyboard and projector, they figured, "Sure, why not?"
The reports of the iPhone's hologram technology came complete with a video that showed lasers spewing out of the phone to manifest images onto thin air, like a tiny, more advanced R2-D2.
But Really ...
Don't bother whipping out your iPhone 5 and searching for the hologram button. The features that Fox excitedly announced would be included on the current generation of Apple's flagship device came from a fake video. It wasn't even a hoax meant to suck in gullible journalists -- it was just mocked up by an animation studio to show off their CGI chops.

"Journalism means never having to say you're sorry. Or fact checking."
So how in the hell could reporters in one of the world's largest media markets be that hilariously wrong about a story that big? After all, it's not like it's that hard to find out what features will and won't be available on one of the biggest product launches of all time.
Well, it has to do with the fact that even though it's a New York media outlet, it's still a local news station, and they tend to suck at covering local news with any depth due to cuts in newsroom staff. So when a local news broadcast wants to do an easy story on the people lining up for the new phone, they probably just have an intern Google "iPhone 5" and grab the first clip they see. Quickly throw a sentence into the reporter's narration about what the video is showing, and bam! You've set the stage for some very confused and angry Genius Bar visits.

#4. Blonds Are Going Extinct, Says Science
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
The Story
One way to slip a bullshit story into the mainstream is if it seems to fit a narrative we've already heard, such as how birth rates are falling in Western nations (often with the subtext that those evil Muslims will outbreed us).
John Moore/Getty Images News/Getty Images/Stockbyte
"What do you mean our charity is racist?"
So it made sense when, in the early 2000s, a bunch of news outlets started reporting on a study conducted by the World Health Organization that suggested that blond hair wasn't going to exist in the human population after 200 years. The reason had something to do with blond hair being a recessive gene that is being slowly usurped by the other hair colors. Due to this hostile genetic takeover, the last natural blond would be born in Finland sometime over the next two centuries. This would presumably be followed by a thousand years of darkness.
The original story was likely this BBC article, but it soon spread to ABC, CNN, and The Daily Mail.

Otherwise known as "the herpes of journalism."
But Really ...
Anyone who wanted to find more information about this scientific study would have a difficult time of it, because none of the articles that reported on it ever linked to the study or even named any of the "German scientists" who conducted it. On top of this, nobody gives any of those important science details like numbers, percentages, or statistics. Also, the World Health Organization, which supposedly conducted the study, had never heard of it, so there's that.

"Yeah, you guys know Ebola's a thing, right?"
In fact, nobody knows where this story came from. It can only be traced back to all these news sites suddenly reporting on it, as though the story somehow wrote itself in a spontaneous regurgitation of bad journalism. Genetics doesn't even work the way that the study supposedly describes, so blonds aren't actually going anywhere.
The "disappearing blond gene" affair just became an embarrassing example of how news agencies, in the scramble to report a story the moment they hear about it, just copy-paste each other's bullshit without so much as giving us the courtesy of a quick Google search to see if the events they're reporting on actually happened.

#3. Americans Love the Iranian and North Korean Presidents
Ed Jones/Staff/Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
The Story
When your paper has a political agenda, your first job is to make sure that whatever you print fits the narrative. No matter how clown-fartingly stupid the story is, if it appears in what looks like a real publication and supports your point of view, publish that shit!
AFP / Getty
"Brad Pitt and Madonna agree: Kim Jong Un has the best fragrance!"
So, in late 2012, the Iranian news agency FARS excitedly reported on the results of a Gallup poll that revealed that the majority of rural white Americans would, if given the opportunity, vote for Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over Barack Obama.
The reasons cited were that Ahmadinejad would "never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does" and that they respected the Iranian president because he didn't hide the fact that he was a Muslim.
Spencer Platt/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"He's as crazy as I think the other guy is."
And that report apparently signaled the beginning of an American trend of fondness toward foreign dictators. Shortly afterward, The People's Daily, a Communist Party newspaper in China, ran a 55-page photo spread of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, proclaiming him the sexiest man alive. They cited an American news report for the story and quoted some rather flattering passages, such as "Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable cute, cuddly side, Kim made this newspaper's editorial board swoon with his impeccable fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile."
But Really ...
Some of you already recognize that the American source both of these news agencies quoted while rushing to get on top of these incredible scoops was The Onion. For those of you most loyal to Cracked for your Internet comedy needs, you may not be aware that The Onion is the publication that basically defines the "fake newspaper" concept. But despite their cartoonishly outrageous headlines, regular people do get duped by it all the time. Sometimes, those people happen to write for major news organizations.
FARS News Agency
"Hey, we're just Iran. No one expects fact checking."
Once the comedy outfit received word about the error, The Onion's editor, Will Tracy, released a statement commending FARS' outstanding reportage and claiming that they had been working closely with the Middle Eastern bureau for years.

Believe it or not, I am very careful with what words I choose to be in this column each week.
Words mean a lot.
They can convey a simple message or a hard-hitting one.
Words can keep kids out of college or prison.
Words can keep families together or tear them apart.
Words can get adults fired or hired.
Words and how they are used can be the difference between getting hugged or punched.
Words are very powerful.
There are also times when no words are needed.
A look will suffice, as can body language.
Words are also rarely forgotten.
Many things were discussed and said about what it will take to move the community forward in October in a Town Meeting held at the Emmanuel Church of God In Christ in Steubenville.
"We as parents are responsible. We are smart and very intelligent people. But it is irritating to see kids scoring a touchdown on Friday night, but knowing they are reading at a fifth-grade level," Delores Wiggins, president of the Ohio Valley Black Caucus, said that night.
The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association awards and recognizes teams throughout the state academically.
It is a simple process.
Each of the 718 high school football teams in Ohio has the opportunity to be recognized on the academic all-Ohio team listing.
The top grade-point averages are taken of 22 returning lettermen, are added together and divided by 22 to get the team GPA. If a team does not have 22 returning lettermen, the divisor is the number of returning lettermen available.
The top six schools receive a plaque and the next 14 receive a certificate.
Those awards are handed out at the OHSFCA annual banquet.
Steubenville Big Red finished 39th in the state.
This award is not divided into divisions. It is an all-division award. It is not a public school thing or a private school thing.
The top six teams are Moeller, Anderson, Archbold, Brecksville, Canton McKinley and Mayfield.
The next 14 teams are Anthony Wayne, Hubbard, Sylvania Southview, New Albany, Avon Lake, Olentangy, West Branch, Toledo St. Francis, Massillon Jackson, Clyde, Chesapeake, Sidney, St. Edward and Delphos St. John.
I have no clue how many high schools chose to participate in this quest.
But, let's say only half of the high schools did so - that would be 359.
With that number, Big Red finished in the top 11 percent in the state.
Sounds like better than a fifth-grade reading level to me.
Parents should really think twice before berating a coach because they perceive their child is not playing enough.
I have a simple solution for coaches who have parents accost them because of this issue - do not allow that kid to play one second in the next game.
Then, there is no problem with playing time because there was none.
There has to come a place where the kids look at their parents and say something similar to this, "I am tired of you embarrassing me. I am playing and not you. If I have a problem with the coach, I will do something. I really want you to come to my games and watch me and my teammates play. But, unless you can do so respectfully, please stay home. When you both have decided you can come to the games and cheer us on and be positive, it would be great to have you both in the stands.
"If you cannot do that, I don't want you in the gym."
Now, I ask all kids to say those words in kindness and with the utmost respect.
But, they need to be said.
Really, at some point in time, I would guess a lot of coaches wished they were coaching at orphanages.
I still find it funny that playing time is an issue.
The last time I checked, there is no place in the contract of becoming a team member that gives any member of the team certain playing time rights.
When you become a member of a team you pretty much give up all individual rights.
You are a member of a team and the team is bigger than you.
You want to play more - work harder.
It is that simple.
Mom and dad, when you see your teenager laying on their backsides this summer, doing nothing, and doing so more often than not, there are other kids (teammates and opponents) who are outside working hard, sweating hard and getting better - something you child is not doing, unless it is "Madden '11" or "Call of Duty."
Kids, if you go to your coach and whine about playing time, you need to have something more in your corner than some lame excuse like "I think I deserve it."
That, kids, is selfishness in its simplest form.
The question to the coach is, "What do I need to do to get more playing time?"
Now, the coach will listen.
There are a lot of problems that arise because kids are not outside on a regular basis playing some sort of pick-up game - whether it be football, basketball, baseball or soccer.
You see, back in the day, we figured out how to get along when someone got mad - you know, took their ball or bat and went home.
We figured out how to get together the next day and play another game. We figured out how to become friends again. We figured out how to resolve the conflict without mommy or daddy getting involved.
Want to know why parents are butting into their kids business at times when there is no need to do so?
That's the reason.
Kids are resilient and will figure things out and will do so without adult supervision.
Or, more specifically, the adult micro-management.
When I chose to change careers about 20-plus years ago, I was sitting in the San Diego Golf Academy learning about the business side of golf. One of the teachers handed back a test and one of our classmates missed an A by one point.
He then started on the teacher about giving him an A because he only missed it by one point.
"Let me ask you something," said the teacher. "If you are in a golf tournament and miss the cut by one stroke, are you going to go to the tournament officials and beg to play the weekend because you 'only' missed the cut by one shot?"
Discussion over.
Point taken.
So, kids, if you miss an A on a test by a percentage point or two, get one more question correct and quit asking the teachers for special dispensation.
And, teachers, please don't give it.
Last month I wrote what turned out to be a popular piece on Weir High junior Kelsey Ferguson and how she went from injury to the pool from June to December and her new outlook on life.
She talked about her two stints at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh.
"When I am able, I would love to go back and volunteer and help all those kids," she said.
Her words.
Two weeks ago Ferguson went back for a follow-up appointment and testing. She passed with flying colors. and signed up for the teen volunteer training program.
She kept her word.

Only eating toast
My wife hates it, I will eat anything for breakfast as long as it's toast (ok I will eat cereal, pancakes, scones and roti as well, but that doesn't make a good story does it?).
I mentioned eating toast and drinking coffee when responding to a meme on where I was during some life changing events. Read it if you are interested in some non-WoW natter.

One possible generalization of a Hamiltonian cycle in a triangulated plane graph is what could be called a Hamiltonian sphere: a collection of triangles within a simplicial complex in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that forms a surface homeomorphic to a sphere and which includes every vertex. For example, the triangulated surface of a cube is a Hamiltonian sphere for any one of the tetrahedralizations of the cube interior. And the notion could be generalized to arbitrary dimensions.
Has this concept been studied? I can imagine there are results specifying properties of the simplicial complex that guarantee it is Hamiltonian in the sense above. A trivial example is that the convex hull of points in convex position constitute a Hamiltonian sphere for a triangulation of the hull interior into simplices. (Here convex position means that all points are on the hull.)

I finally beat Final Fantasy VII after about 45 hours, but the end video leaves more questions then answers. My question is, did the gang die or did they survive the accident?
This may make as many questions as it answers, but Advent Children was the follow up to FF VII
Aeris' dialogue with the planet activated Holy, the ultimate White magic that is the only magic powerful enough to combat Meteor, the ultimate black magic.
Holy used the planets lifestream to defeat Meteor, rescuing the planet and it's people.
Midgar was left in ruins.
All of the Main characters of FF7 survived and lived to fight another day (Advent Children).
Sephiroth's physical form no longer exists having been destroyed by Cloud and the gang, but his presence still infects the life stream, the planet and Cloud's mind.
A number of Sephiroth clones still exist.
That leads to the story of Advent Children.
I believe Cloud moves out to the Arena in Hercules-land, and some kid with a giant key-for-a-sword fights him. The other characters mainly are hanging out in some town run by disney characters.
Althought they seem in the worst situation at game end, they assuredly survive to see the epic Advent Children anime movie.
The way they did survive, though, isn't defined in any text or video from square electronics I know of.

Licensing / Server
I would like to create a mobile web app using Sencha Touch 2.
There are several questions I want to ask here, can I use my own server(company)? or Sencha limit us must use their server? Sorry but I couldn't found any resources out there.
For example, my application will let peoples to register their name, password and etc. I want all these data to be store in my server rather than others(Sencha's server). Can we do that? The application might push to the market after well developed. If we use Sencha's server, how much they will charged? Charge per user?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

actually we don't even offer servers for hire, since we have a strong focus on client side development. sencha touch offers various different proxies and reader you can connect to any backend you like to.
the only backend we do offer is our cloud solution sencha.io, which is for free as long as it is in beta state. i do not know how / if this will change as soon as it hits ga.Best regards

To the editor:
Knights of Columbus Council 4361 of Mingo Junction recently held a hurricane relief drive and would like to thank all those involved.
This includes media; volunteers; Steubenville Catholic Central, Steubenville, Toronto and Indian Creek high schools; the Jefferson County Joint Vocation School; USW Locals 1190 and 2911; and the many churches, schools and organizations that helped to make this such a great success.
Grand Knight Shawn Zarych and I wish to personally thank WTOV-TV, WTRF-TV, WOGH-FM, WCDK-FM and the Herald-Star for helping in our effort. The Joshua Project, run by Toni Pastore, brought a box truck and several pickup trucks containing about 400 cases of bottled water, clothing and food items. Project Share, run by Richard Deluca, allowed us to load a 16-foot utility trailer with various items from his warehouse in Wheeling. The United Way of Jefferson County gave us a list of contacts to use. A special thank you goes out to Larry "Butch" Mitchell of Larry Mitchell Trucking for the use of his tractor-trailer, which he personally drove to the New York and New Jersey area to deliver the goods donations.
Through the efforts of all those listed above, and countless generous individuals, we were able to deliver 7 tons of food and water, along with a check for $2,582 that went to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey located in Hillside, N.J. We continue to receive monetary donations, which we will forward on to them. We actually filled the 53-foot trailer close to two-thirds full from top to bottom with clothing, toys, diapers, blankets, coats, etc. that went to Goodwill in Queens, N.Y., while the rest of the trailer held food and water that went to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. We will continue to update donations on our Facebook page
The outpouring of help from the Ohio Valley is amazing considering what has happened here with recent job losses. It shows the astounding kindness of our community. Seeing the huge success of this drive and the generosity of the public makes us so proud to say that we are from the Ohio Valley. Thank you, Ohio Valley, you're awesome.

should I install something like gufw?
closed as not constructive by htorque, Jorge Castro, Kees Cook, Stefano Palazzo♦ Feb 18 '11 at 21:21
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes, more than ever. The internet hasn't changed a lot, since the old days. So a firewall is still a necessity these days. A firewall like gufw, with basic rules works. Use iptables, if you are a CLI geek ;)
Please check this reply for furthur discussion on Firewalls on Ubuntu.
Undoubtedly, it only takes a single opportunistic snooper to cause no end of trouble. The confusion lies in how you go about ensuring you're behind a firewall.
This is discussed in more detail here: Is there a preinstalled or automatic firewall? but in short if you are on a home network, behind a wireless router, then your router will normally be performing firewall duties. Obviously its a good idea to check with the manufacturer before you rely on anything (its also dependent on the router configuration).
GUFW is not, in itself, a firewall, just a GUI for ubuntu's default firewall (UFW). UFW is switched off by default. Generally speaking, its advisable to only run one firewall, to avoid potential conflicts, so provided you are on a trusted home network (and you're positive your router provides adequate protection), id advise switching off your software firewall (UFW).
Obviously, switch it back on again when you're on a public / non trusted network.
I would recommend to install a firewall. Something is always better than nothing. isn't it?. Ubuntu , By default comes with a firewall 'ufw'. gufw(Mentioned in the question) is nothing but the GUI of 'ufw'.
Hope this helps.
Ubuntu should come with a default firewall activated with a GUI tool too. I'm surprised it doesn't come with it. I know iptables is already there but there are no rules loaded. You have to do that manually or install something like Firestarter to get the basics running for you.
I was so surprised one day when I found out that my ISP gives me my own public IP every time I enable my DSL. Imagine how many hits, ssh login attempts, other scans and MS exploits (yeah someone was running that on my ISP's IPs) my machine was getting the entire time. LOL! :)
By definition a firewall blocks communication that otherwise would be allowed. A desktop Ubuntu machine has no services installed by default that will accept connections, so there is nothing for a firewall to block access to. Therefore, it is completely useless.
The reason a firewall is considered necessary on Windows is because it comes with several brain dead services installed by default that accept connections and allow the other party to do things with your computer that you don't want.
With the introduction of IPv6 having a firewall will become even more critical. Unlike IPv4 where most systems are relatively secured on private IP ranges, IPv6 devices are likely to be fully accessible.
Having a firewall with a default deny policy will be even more critical. Finding devices to scan will be more difficult due to the sparse use of addresses. Keeping some protocols like SMB on link local addresses will help, but won't be a magic bullet.
That said in a default install an active firewall is just an extra layer of security. Many of the applications which do open ports will require their ports to be opened to allow them to work. Pretty well all have additional methods to secure them. Enable all the appropriate layers as required.
EDIT: There have been a lot of comments about letting the application control access and other reasons not to have a firewall. Unfortunately, many applications don't have access controls. Others listen on all addresses, so a firewall becomes the sole way of restricting access from certain interfaces.
As I noted above, a firewall is only one layer of security. Secure applications are another, but you can't easily ensure that your users only run secure applications. A firewall is one way of protecting your users.
No reasonable security measures are totally secure. While many users may not be interested or educated enough to fully understand a firewall, that is not a reason not to use a firewall, or for them no to have a firewall.
Everyone is correct, be careful and probably use some kind of protection, it can create some hassle depending on what you do but sometimes you don't notice how much that extra hassle is really protecting you.
One way you could add some extra protection that isn't really intrusive at all would be to look into OpenDNS, basically just adds some nice control and extra security features for basic internet use.

Prove that if $m$ and $n$ are positive integers then $m!n! < (m+n)!$
Given hint:
$m!= 1\times 2\times 3\times\cdots\times m$ and $1<m+1, 2<m+2, \ldots , n<m+n$
It looks simple but I'm baffled and can't reach the correct proof. Thank you.
Prove that if $m$ and $n$ are positive integers then $m!n! < (m+n)!$
Given hint:
It looks simple but I'm baffled and can't reach the correct proof. Thank you.
Notice that $m!n!$ and $(m+n)!$ both have the same number of terms. Let's compare them: $$m!n! = (1 \times 2 \times \ldots \times m) \times (1 \times 2 \times \ldots \times n)$$ $$(m+n)! = (1 \times 2 \times \ldots \times m) \times ((m+1) \times (m+2) \times \ldots \times (m+n))$$
Both expressions have the same first $m$ terms, but after that each term in the second expression is bigger than the corresponding term in the first: $m+1 > 1$, etc.
Note that $\frac{(m+n)!}{m!}=(m+1)(m+2)\ldots(m+n)$. So you need to prove $n!<(m+1)(m+2)\ldots(m+n)$, and your hint applies.
Alternative proof: if you have $m$ girls and $n$ boys, you can line them up in $m!n!$ ways such that all girls come before all boys, and in $(m+n)!$ ways without that restriction.
One-line proof (some details omitted): ${m+n \choose m} > 1$ if $0 < m < n$.
If you would like, here is an other proof:
I assume that $n,m\in\mathbb{N}_0$. From the hint that $$ 1<m+1, 2<m+2, \ldots, n<m+n $$ you can see that $n!<(m+n)!$.
Now we proof by induction that $m!n!<(m+n)!$. Take $m=1$, then we have $1!n!<(1+n)!$. Now assume that $m!n!<(m+n)!$ is correct, this is the induction hypothesis. We calculate \begin{align*} (m+1)!n!&=(m+1)m!n!\\&<(m+1)(m+n)!\\&<(m+n+1)(m+n)!\\&=(m+n+1)!. \end{align*} The first inequality is because of the induction hypothesis. The second because $n\geq1$.
Some quite complicated answers here for showing that there is more than one string we can form with letters $A$ and $B$ of length $m+n$, with $m$ repetitions of $A$ and $n$ repetitions of $B.$
Hint $\ \:\rm f(n) > 1\,$ since it is a product of terms $>1,$ via multiplicative telescopy, viz.
$$\begin{eqnarray}\rm f(n)\, =\ f(0) \prod_{k\:=\:1}^{n}\, \frac{f(k)}{f(k-1)} &=&\rm \, \color{red}{\rlap{--}f(0)}\frac{\color{green}{\rlap{--}f(1)}}{\color{red}{\rlap{--}f(0)}}\frac{\color{royalblue}{\rlap{--}f(2)}}{\color{green}{\rlap{--}f(1)}}\frac{\phantom{\rlap{--}f(3)}}{\color{royalblue}{\rlap{--}f(2)}}\, \cdots\, \frac{\color{brown}{\rlap{--}f(n-1)}}{\phantom{\rlap{--}f(n-2)}}\frac{f(n)}{\color{brown}{\rlap{----}f(n-1)}}\\ &=&\rm\,\ \frac{1+m}1\ \frac{2+m}2\ \frac{3+m}3\,\cdots\, \frac{n+m}n \\ \rm \phantom{\frac{\frac{1}1}{\frac{1}1}}because\ the\ term\ ratio\ is\ \ \displaystyle\rm\ \frac{f(k)}{f(k-1)} &=&\rm\ \frac{(k+m)!}{k!\,m!}\, \frac{(k-1)!\,m!}{(k-1+m)!}\, =\, \frac{k+m}{k} \end{eqnarray} $$
This yields precisely the same proof as the accepted answer. However, by using the general method of telescopy, one is able to derive the proof algorithmically vs. ad-hoc. Such telescopic methods work much more generally. They are essential in more complex problems where ad-hoc methods have no hope due to the innate structure being obfuscated by the complexity. See here for more.

1970 Dodge Super Bee Restoration Part 9 - Clearly NewWritten by on September 20, 2012 Contributors: Daren Irons AMD's new glass for B-Bodies
Could you imagine driving your car for an extended period of time without the glass installed? It might make for a wet and bug-in-teeth filled experience. The glass in your car is designed to do more than just keep the wind and rain out. It's utilitarian--it serves the purpose of keeping the inside dry, as well as keeping occupants safe. If you're going to have glass in your car, why not have some nice stuff in place.
The glass in your ride comes in different varieties, depending on the location of it in your car. While you're driving, you and your car will encounter potholes, rocks, and unfortunately a few fender benders in its lifetime. For this reason, automotive glass is manufactured into two different types of safety glass to protect the occupants inside.
The first type of glass is called laminated glass. This type of glass is used for the windshield and is generally made of laminated safety glass, a type of treated glass. In short, this safety glass consists of two curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety.
To make a windshield, the required two pieces of glass are cut into the desired shape and size, and then the cut pieces are bent into shape. To bend the glass, the sheet of glass is placed into a form, and is then heated in a furnace to the point where the glass sags to the shape of the mold. After the shaping, the glass is hardened by tempering. When tempering, the glass is quickly heated to about 1,565 degrees, and then is blasted with jets of cold air. This cold air "quenching" toughens the glass by causing the outer layer to compress and the inner layer to tension itself. What these opposing tensions cause mean that when damaged, the windshield will break into many small pieces of glass without sharp edges. The size of the pieces can also be changed by modifying the tempering procedure so that the windshield breaks into larger pieces, allowing good vision until the windshield can be replaced. The laminated plastic between the two layers keeps the glass from exploding when broken.
The second type of glass is known as tempered glass, which is used for the vehicle's side and back windows. As mentioned earlier, tempered glass gains its strength through a process of heating and cooling. When broken by impact, tempered glass immediately disintegrates into relatively small pieces, and this greatly reduces the likelihood of the occupants receiving any serious cutting or piercing injuries.
Without the different styles of manufacturing and strengthening, automotive glass would be little more than a simple barrier between us and the elements outside. Laminated and tempered glass each have different functions, but together they keep you inside the vehicle in an accident, shield you from flying sharp glass, and to an extent, retain the roof's rigidity if you should experience a rollover.
But when it comes to our muscle cars, nine times out of ten, the old glass is scratched, the edges have gotten "cloudy," or some enterprising youth used the car as target practice for him and his Wrist Rocket slingshot.
If you need glass for your car, you can find used glass, and if you're willing and able to polish out scratches and buff it to an as-new shine, then used glass could be an alternative. But if you need glass, spending the time looking for usable pieces, and then making them look as good as the rest of your ride isn't something you feel the need to accomplish, you do have an alternative.
We were in just such a situation, that when it came time to reinstall the glass in our project 'Bee, the windshield was cloudy around the edges, and the rest of the glass was severely scratched. Luckily, we found out Auto Metal Direct (AMD) is actually reproducing complete glass sets for certain muscle cars. Remember, this glass is reproduction, and there are differences when compared to OE glass. And we'll show you those differences later. Overall, we feel that if your glass is no good--or worse yet, missing--the AMD stuff is definitely worth looking into.
(248) 431-3491
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
01 We decided to compare the AMD glass to our factory stuff and see if the OE shape and finish was there. As far as the side glass, the shape was definitely what it needed to be, and the only deviation we noticed was that the edges of the glass were not polished like the OE. We're sure that the reason for this is a factor of cost.02 We also checked the glass to see if the thickness was the same. As far as we are concerned, it's spot on. While using the digital calipers, we noticed a variation of .002-.004. That variation could be directly related to dirt and scratches in the factory glass.03 When it came to installing the side glass, it installed just like the factory stuff. AMD even went as far as to officially license the glass with Mopar. That means that your new glass will have the OE style stampings on it.04 In regards to the windshield, we found no problems with the glass, and it fell into place like it should. We ordered tinted glass for our 'Bee, and you can get yours either tinted or not.05 Once we had our side glass and windshield installed, we hoped the trim would fit like it was suppose to. We were thoroughly happy with the way the windshield trim fit, and the side glass divider was a perfect match for the AMD glass.06a When we got to the back glass, we did find that there is some deviation from factory, in its shape. In the two images, you can see that the AMD glass has more of a single convex shape to it. The second image shows the factory glass with its compound shape.06b This deviation is noticeable when the glass is installed in the car, and almost gives the car a "fastback" look. Since we are building a "custom" Mopar, we actually feel that the convex shape works in this application. If you're doing a factory restoration, this is something you'll want to keep in mind.07a Not only was our glass severely scratched, but our rear trim was bent beyond use. When we placed our order with Tony's Parts for a bunch of stuff that we needed, we had him send us some new trim as well. The stuff we got from Tony simply needed a good cleaning, and then to be installed.
