Which criterion did Sklansky use when dividing starting hands in groups? Computer generated starting hands seems to show a subjective grouping by Sklansky, doesn't it?
The Sklansky hand rating is also inclusive of post flop playability and implied odds. A simply equity calculation would render T8o better then 89s. This clearly isn't the case though.
You have to consider how the hand flops relative to villain range, and it's post flop playability. Do not base hand ranking on pure jam equity because you will be ignoring too many other factors. A hand like 89s can flop flushes, straights etc, more often and better then T8o. Although preflop equity might show different, T8o is often useless postflop- even if you flop TP because you have to fold it too often. With 89s you will often have backdoor equity etc.
Of course, it was his experience which guided Sklansky for the grouping. So yes, he did it "subjectively" and not by some formula.
Also, he didn't have the preflop jam equity in mind, but rather the expected amount of money the hand typically wins. On page 19 of "Hold'em Poker" you find:
Furthermore, you can read there that he assumes a full ring playing limit poker.
I use a "Q-T-8" standard that corresponds essentially to his Level 4 to open. That is no unsuited hands lower than KQ, no suited hands lower than JT, no pairs lower than 8. A level 3 hand would have suited hands down to KJ, QJ, and the 9-9 pair. Level 2 hands have suited hands down to Q's (AQ and KQ), and the pairs J-J and T-T. Level 1 hands have the three top pairs and the top suited hand, A-K.
This standard was based on Sklansky's principles, and is a model of how "Sklansky" is SUPPOSED to work. The problem is that Sklansky himself sometimes goes against his own model. For instance, he and I believe that KQ, KJ, and KT off suit should be levels 4, 5, and 6 hands respectively (levels 2, 3, and 4 for the suited versions). But Sklansky then "deviates" for hands with aces by saying that AT offsuit should be level 5, AJ should be level 4, and AQ should be level 3, and AK should be level 2. I actually agree with AQ and AK, but would hold Sklansky to his "original" standard for AJ (level 5) and AT (level 6).
I created the Q-T-8 model specifically to track Sklansky's deviations from his articulated standards. By design, it is "more royalist than the king, more Catholic than the pope."

Is it a good idea if I put the books I read on my resume, or at least those related to software development?

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
I've read a lot of resumes, some good, some bad, and they've never had a list like this. Honestly, it would indicate to me a candidate who has extremely little hands-on experience and is desperate to pad a thin resume. And a candidate who hasn't bothered to research common resume formats. Such a resume would most likely be circular-filed. By me, anyway.
Save it for the interview
When you get to interview, it's highly likely you'll discuss certain topics like algorithm choice, refactoring, effective teamwork, etc. This'd be the time to discuss your experiences and optionally give references to widely-recognised books on those topics.
As an employer, I wouldn't be able to tell from listing the books on your CV whether you'd read them or just pasted them into your CV after copying from a 'recommended reading list' on Programmers/StackOverflow.
Don't. A book is the source of knowledge, but it's the demonstration of that knowledge that really matters.
Linked-In has an area for you to put books you read. You can just link your Linked-In profile from your resume. Then if they are interested in the books you read, they have the option to look.
I see it as very tacky and opening yourself to a lot of problems you can avoid. For example, say you list Programming Pearls as a read book. What if the interviewer happens to remember something very specific in that book because he has also read it.
He asks you a question about it, and then you can't remember that specific bit. But hey, you read the book. It says so right here. You're immediately labeled as a liar in his head.
Just don't do it.
I got a computer engineering degree without ever reading a single programming book. Did I learn a decent amount in college? Sure. Did I learn as much as I could have? No, not even close.
Having read books on the subject is an added bonus... something that shows you are interested in learning from the experts. You don't just copy & paste code or write code that seems "good enough." You went out there and read about why certain solutions are better than others, etc.
Should you put C++ for Dummies on your resume? Of course not. If those are the books that you've read, then the answer is definitely not. However, if you've read some of the more respected books, then I would say yes.
Bill Gates on Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming:
Try it, do an A/B Test
My guess is that it just depends -- though when ranking knowledge over experience, experience always wins. I'd suggest focusing on mapping and expanding the real world experience you have, instead of the books you're read.
If you do end up listing them, I'd suggest having a personal website -- with reviews of the books posted, and how you've applied the knowledge provided by the book in the real world.
No. Having read a book doesn't mean you've comprehended it or retained any of it. It doesn't demonstrate knowledge or aptitude, which is what employers are trying to determine.
If you demonstrate your value in an interview, then want to mention that you acquired said value by reading books, that's perhaps useful information.
What if the three books Joe Resume Reviewer think every developer should have read aren't on it? You're just opening a can of worms you don't need to.
I have never seen it either, but it may not be a bad idea.. you could list it under education, self taught section.
Beta test it, let us know how it works. I really can't see it doing much harm.
Considering most programmers out there haven't read any programming books it might not be such a bad idea. Maybe a favorite programming book section, would certainly make for a good conversation in an interview.
Consider it from the reader's point of view. Nobody reading a resume is going to say "Oh, wow, this guy read Code Complete and The Pragmatic Programmer! We'd better bring him in for an interview."
A list of books read in your CV sounds like a bad idea. Big deal, you read the book - did you understand it? Can you apply it?
But what I think would be a good thing is to mention how you read something in a particular book, and did something interesting with it: maybe you applied Chris Okasaki's Purely Functional Data Structures to Java, or something.
This could work if you have inside information about the person or company with whom you are interviewing. If you read on LinkedIn that the hiring manager is a big fan of a certain book, then putting that on your resume would be a way to get noticed by them.
I agree that most company's won't look at this as helpful, but I could see how it could work in isolated cases.
I never saw a book (list) on a CV, either, but I think it's a good idea. People I interview regularly list languages even though they only learned them for fun, so why wouldn't you list books, if you read them throughly, did all the exercises, etc. Judging by the other answers here, it would probably depend on the person who reads the CV, though.
Another option would be to mention books in the cover letter. For example, if you apply for a job at a company that creates speech recognition software, you could write that you've read [insert standard literature about speech recognition here] and that you found it very interesting and would be excited to work in this field professionally. Of course, that only works for books that have some connection to the job you're applying for.
Not on a resume. I could picture there being a case of it making sense in a cover letter or interview to make a point from a book if it seems applicable. For example, if a company mentions refactoring in a job description and you know a good quote from the book "Refactoring" by Martin Fowler, it may be useful to demonstrate this. Resumes generally are more for showing what experience you have rather than just having some knowledge on a subject.
Like most of the other respondents, I think it's a bad idea. What I would do is start a blog and review the books. Or write reviews on Amazon and come up with a clever way to link them on your blog. Mention the things you learned from the books and try to tie it back to your experience or side projects.
To me this would show that you're interested enough to be an active programmer, but not desperate.
It will look strange on a resume. I don't think anybody does that.
However, books are a great thing to talk about during an interview. In fact, I was once asked by an interviewer what my favorite book on C++ was.
If you really need some resume filler, how about taking some of the knowledge that you learned from all those books and making a cool application. You can probably squeeze in personal projects somewhere on the resume.
I think it depends how you present that books on your resume. If it just a list, than it can smell like you have nothing to add or don't know what to add to your cv. But if you add it more like IT courses or certificates, it can be interesting.
If you have to put it some where.
Do it on your profile in a professional networking site.
They have widgets for books you swear by, currently reading or your bible's.
Don't do it. It won't make your CV look more impressive. You can mention the books that you have studied (in contrast to "read") during your interview. But be prepared to answer which parts did you like and which you didn't. An answer like "it's the best X programming book" is not sufficient and will make things worst.

WEIRTON - Volunteers are putting the finishing touches to spring beautification efforts at Marland Heights Park, planting flowers and clearing branches in advance of Saturday's benefit concert.
Smitty's Carpet's Tom Bowman on Tuesday began installing new carpet in the miniature golf course, a job that, weather permitting, was set to be completed Wednesday.
Marland Heights Community Association President Doug Jackson said materials and labor were donated by Smitty's located in Steubenville. He said the flowers also were donated by members of the business community.

SIGNS OF SUMMER — Getting Marland Heights Park ready for the summer season Tuesday were, from left, Tom Bowman of Smitty's Carpet and Marland Heights Community Association's Renee Lemal, Iris Himmelrick, Doug Jackson and, in back, Gaston Blanc. Smitty's Carpet donated the carpet and labor to begin refitting the miniature golf course for MHCA. Jackson, the community association's president, said the flowers they've planted throughout the park were donated by the community. -- Linda Harris
He said they're also planning to redesign the holes, replacing the traditional houses and windmills with nostalgic structures representing the different departments of a steel mill.
Jackson said Saturday's benefit will feature a wine-tasting as well as a jazz concert featuring Broadway star Erin Burkett.
The wine tasting, slated from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., features 14 winemakers from a seven-county area stationed in the park's main shelter who will compete for first, second and third place. Medals will be awarded, based on the number of votes they receive from concert-goers.
Burkett will take the stage at 7 p.m. Tickets are priced at $20 each, which includes both events.
"Two extra-large tents are being brought in for the concert for seating," Jackson said, noting the tents, to be placed on the basketball court, mean the concert will be a go "rain or shine."
Jackson said he's pleased with advance ticket sales, which he said have been strong. Tickets are still available at designated vendors, including Marland Heights Pharmacy, Tri-State Pharmacy, Weirton Chamber of Commerce, Gus's Goodies, PS Marketing and MHCA members. They'll also be sold at the park the evening of the event.

Students of Prophecies studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Prophecies textbooks – for example Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium by [Bart D. Ehrman], and Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium by [Bart D. Ehrman] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Prophecies 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 Prophecies books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Prophecies classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.
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.

Cluster Cards - not in Top 10, would like to get your feedback
We built Cluster Cards - insightful, action oriented card deck for problem solving - for the Sencha Touch App contest. Our app did not make it to the Top 10. It's not a great example of Sencha Touch's capabilities or HTML5. Nevertheless, I feel it has the potential to help many people.
We built the first version as a tool for conference participants (image all people going to Sencha Conference) to get maximum value of their participation. We have only created seven cards right now, but will add more soon. We were inspired by Get Mental Notes and believe such cards are a great way to solve problems.
I would like to get your feedback on the app and the idea!
Checkout the app at: http://www.clustercards.com/app/
Also attaching a few screenshots for ready reference.

It took me some time to realize what to do after viewing the first card. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that there was more than one card, or to navigate the cards I should swipe the active card. Maybe emphasize the carousel "dots" more to give the user feedback that this is one page of many.
17 Nov 2010 9:38 AM #3
Yeah.. we have used an infinite carousel.. so that's an issue
Thanks for the feedback. We wanted to support unlimited cards, hence used an infinite carousel. The limitation with this is that we can't show those indicator dots..
I also felt users may be lost on the first card.. Will think up a solution.
Did you like it otherwise?
17 Nov 2010 12:04 PM #4
I do. I use supermemo for similar concepts. But the idea is nice of getting the most out of attending a conference. I could see stronger "Call to Action" ui elements being helpful. To me the default notes button gets lost within the menu.
In terms of infinite carousel, perhaps you might need just a dynamic carousel? You might be able to have a url with a json object of all the cards to be inserted into the carousel, add the cards dynamically to the carousel and recalculate the layout to insert the "dots" ui element.
Just a back of the envelope suggestion. You might try something like...
// this could be got from an ajax request to some url serving a json object with mime-type "application/json" var cards = [ { html: '
Carousels can be vertical and given a ui of "light" or "dark".
', cls : 'card card1' }, { html: 'Card #2', cls : 'card card2' }, { html: 'Card #3', cls : 'card card3' }, ... { html: 'Card N, cls : 'card cardN' }, ] Ext.each( cards, function(item,index,allItems){ var card = Ext.ComponentMgr.create(item); allItems[index] = card; }) Carousel.add(cards); Carousel.doComponentLayout();

I read in some sources that mash conditions can influence the production of dextrins, that are not fermentable, have no taste (is that correct?) and add body to the beer. But somewhere else I read that mash conditions can contribute to sweetness (for example with decoction mash), what kind of compounds are produced during mash that will give some malty flavor or sweetness in finished beer?
The mash temperature specifically doesn't really make for a sweeter beer. While adjusting mash temperature allows the brewer to control the balance of simple (fermentable) sugars and dextrins (unfermentable), increasing either doesn't produce a sweeter beer:
You may be thinking of melanoidins. These are a class of Maillard reaction compounds - of which there are many, with flavors like bready, malty. Some say richer, sweeter, but not like candy. They are produced with heat in addition to amino acids, proteins and carbohydrates. The high temperature of a decoction mash increases the rate of production of melanoidins. You can also emulate the effect with (Weyermann) Melanoidin Malt, aka Aromatic Malt from other malters.
Note: I am not a chemist. My homebrewing understanding is along the lines of:
Mashing at a higher temperature will promote the alpha-amylase enzyme to breakdown the sugars, while mashing at a lower temperature will promote the beta-amylase enzyme to breakdown the sugars.
The alpha-amylase will produce dextrins which will contribute to sweetness and body.
The beta-amylase will produce fermentable sugars, hence more alcohol.
Sweetness is pretty much dependent on recipe, not mashing. Using crystal malts or reducing hops will emphasize sweetness. Manipulating mash temps will mainly affect body and mouthfeel.

For all $n g\geq 5$, show that there exists a graph, $G = \langle V,E \rangle$ such that all vertices of $V$ have degree of $4$.
I've tried using Havel-Hakami with a degree sequence of n-fours (ie: $[4,4,4,4,4,4,\ldots]$), but there were too many cases. I can't think of anything else. Any suggestions or ideas?

Bayfield resident Gail Kathleen McKay Short died of heart failure Sunday, May 27, 2012, at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Durango. She was 75.
Mrs. Short was born to Nevin and Florence McKay on Jan. 12, 1937, in Pittsburgh. She was one of six children. When she was a little girl, her family moved to California.
After graduating from Pasadena High School in 1954, Mrs. Short earned a bachelor�s degree in nursing from the University of California at Los Angeles. She went on to work at Scripps Clinic and Research.
While dating Wallace W. Short, she was accepted to become a stewardess for United Airlines and had her acceptance letter sent to his address in San Diego. When he saw she might be traveling all the time as a flight attendant, he quickly proposed. The couple married Dec. 27, 1958, in Pasadena.
Mrs. Short was a full-time wife and mother after their marriage.
The Shorts lived in Goleta, Calif., until they moved to Albuquerque in 1975. Mrs. Short was active at Providence Presbyterian Church in both Albuquerque and Durango.
After seeing a hot-air balloon, she decided she and her husband should learn how to fly one. The Shorts eventually became a two-balloon family, with their son Kevin also earning his license. Mrs. Short volunteered with the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the largest balloon event in the world, serving as the first woman president of the organization in 1984.
In 1994, the Shorts retired to Bayfield, where Mrs. Short was active in Durango Friends of the Arts and the Robert Burns Society.
A founding member of Style �N� Stones, a group of jewelry designers that holds an annual jewelry sale for charity, Mrs. Short helped raise more than $30,000 for Durango Friends of the Arts, Manna Soup Kitchen and Hospice of Mercy. The event, which will be held for the eighth time in September, will be dedicated to her memory.
She enjoyed quilting, traveling, gardening, entertaining and �spoiling her grandchildren,� her family said.
Mrs. Short is survived by her husband of 53 years, Wallace W. Short of Bayfield; daughters Gwyneth Kathleen Short of Lakewood and Brenda Short Brouillet of San Anselmo, Calif.; sons Kevin Alan Short of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., and Bradley Wallace Short of Goleta; sister, Eleanor McKay Corley, of Pauma Valley, Calif.; brothers Nevin McKay of La Veta, Paul McKay of Allenspark, Richard McKay of Reno, Nev., and Lawrence Bruce �Lanny� McKay of Morro Bay, Calif.; six grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A potluck celebration of life was held Saturday, June 2, 2012, at the Short home. The Rev. Randy Steele from Albuquerque officiated.
Memorial contributions may be sent to Ecumenical Projects of International Cooperation at www.epicprojects.org; or Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado St., Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301.

5 Insane Theme Parks You Won't Believe Were Almost Built
Here at Cracked, we've examined plenty of screwball amusement parks that hucksters with dollar signs for eyes had the gumption to actually build. But sometimes these ideas for weirdo playlands never make it past concept art stage. Here are five theme parks you'll never ever attend, unless you know the secret of turning a dump truck full of venture capital into a time machine. And it's too bad, because we really wouldn't have minded visiting ...
#5. The Life-Size USS Enterprise of Las Vegas
In 1992, Las Vegas was giddy with a building boom. The old Mafia-run casinos had been run out of town years before, and corporations muscled in. When a prime piece of property opened up at the end of the Strip, a consortium known as the Goddard Group decided to honor Las Vegas' martini-and-Rat Pack past and plop down the entire goddamn USS Enterprise there.
The Goddard Group
Kirk's gambling problem sorta snowballed in the later years.
Yes, this 23-story, 600-foot-long, $150 million Star Trek resort would've resembled the Enterprise if it had traveled back in time, crashed on the Strip, and been outfitted as a casino/theme park so that Captain Kirk always had a venue to perform his spoken-word poetry.
The Goddard Group
Maybe they'd cross-promote with the Luxor and we could hear him sing "Walk Like an Egyptian."
And this wasn't the proposal of a single starry-eyed Trekkie, intoxicated by the prospect of the Blue Man Group painted "Orion slave girl green," surly Klingons manning the craps tables, and call girls whose sole gimmick would be imitating Ensign Chekhov's ridiculous Soviet accent. The idea gained traction over a period of five months with the support of the then-mayor of Las Vegas, developers, studio executives, and presumably die-hard fans who began a letter-writing campaign demanding Jacuzzis shaped like Leonard Nimoy's head.
The Goddard Group
"Live long ... and put it all on red."
In fact, this project was so close to approval that it only came to a halt when the head of Paramount Studios unilaterally canned it. He explained his veto by saying, "I don't want to be the guy that approved [the Enterprise] and then it's a flop and sitting out there in Vegas forever."
The Goddard Group
We're sure some Klingon-speaking Google billionaire would have paid well to blow that up.
Las Vegas eventually did get its own Trek attraction with the opening of the much more modest Star Trek: The Experience in 1998. This attraction eventually closed in 2008, but for one glorious decade, Trek fans could make the pilgrimage to Sin City to genuflect before such cherished artifacts as Whoopi Goldberg's space hat.

And then drink with all the great sorta-racist caricatures of the distant future.
#4. Six Flags Dubailand
The city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has exploded with growth in recent years, constructing the world's tallest building, an indoor ski resort in the desert, and a (doomed) luxury archipelago shaped like the continents of the world.
And given that Dubai is waging an ongoing war against the forces of subtlety, it's unsurprising that the city almost had a psychedelic Six Flags theme park, complete with a spinning spire of hallucination.
The Goddard Group
"Drugs provided by your brain."
Instead of your run-of-the-mill amusement park layout, with specific zones dedicated to such white-knuckle thrills as log flumes, roller coasters, and strangers in terrifying Berenstain Bears costumes, Six Flags Dubailand was to be laid out according to vague human emotions and experiences.
Rollercoaster Freak
Wait, vague? "Bowel-loosening horror" is pretty specific.
That's right: Visitors would psychologically pinball around the park, bouncing between areas dubbed "Play," "Celebrate," and "Wonder," all the while wondering if some unseen malefactor had dosed their morning coffee with Vitamin Crazy.
The Goddard Group
"Shit. That creamer went bad."
But Six Flags Dubailand's fantastical attractions remain solely in the realm of concept art. The Great Recession hit both Six Flags and Dubai hard, permanently scuttling plans for the park in 2010 and leaving Dubai's ne'er-do-well teenagers one less paradise where they could play hooky from school and chew khat until the walls start melting.
The Goddard Group
Honestly, this looks like more of an opium pipe situation.
#3. DisneySea
In the late 1980s, Disney decided it didn't own enough of California, so the House of the Mouse planned to buy up a bunch of coastal land in Long Beach. Disney originally angled to use this land as a dock for its cruise ships, but instead decided to build DisneySea, a futuristic, oceanic theme park right out of a science fiction novel about a futuristic, oceanic theme park overrun by screaming half-mallard humanoids who refuse to wear pants.
Among DisneySea's noteworthy attractions were several giant glass bubbles called Oceana representing every water biome on Earth, an area devoted to Captain Nemo and his Nautilus submarine from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, an attraction based on Homer's Odyssey, and tanks where guests could swim in shark cages (obviously, nobody behind this project learned a damn thing from the cinematic classic that was Jaws 3).
Jim Hill Media / Disney
We can't imagine any world where this thing's story doesn't end like the first BioShock.
But negotiations with Long Beach were scrapped when land opened up next to Disneyland, and Disney opted to build the cheaper Disney California Adventure instead. Elements of this grandiose plan were recycled for the far less ambitious Tokyo DisneySea park in 2001. That's right, readers -- DisneySea got watered down. (We'll let ourselves out now. Of the Internet.)

Or into a shark tank. That might be fair, too.

Sometimes, I feel sleepy when I am doing my weight training. Is this natural? It doesn't happen all the time, only sometimes, I feel so tired that I feel like sleeping immediately afterwards.

I know some people who can have a great workout without fueling ahead of time, but I feel similar symptoms to what you describe if I don't have a snack before I work out. A snack of 1/4 cup of cottage cheese about an hour ahead of time is enough to help me get through my weight training. (I am 160 lbs, so you may need to eat more or less.)
If you eat too soon before a workout your body is focusing its resources on digestion, especially if you eat a high carb meal. That may be part of why you feel sleepy. If the food is too high in carbs you'll most likely experience the 'comfort food' or 'food coma feeling' which will make you feel very sleepy.
Another cause of the drowsiness is caused by the lack of a good warm up. Your energy levels aren't only regulated by food consumption. When you're working out it's also important to have enough oxygen and healthy circulation so your body can transport the resources needed to fuel your muscles.
My suggestion has 2 parts. First, carb load the night before. Ie eat a healthy dinner that includes a lot of pasta and/ or rice the night before you workout. That way you have a large amount of readily available energy. Next, eat a light meal of mostly lean protein a couple of hours before you lift. Just enough to maintain your energy and provide some protein during the lifting but not so much that your body needs to invest too much energy into digestion.
At the very least warm up properly before lifting. Nothing extreme just a light jog to raise your heart rate and get the blood flowing.

Know the Symptoms of Whooping Cough
A bacterium known as Bordetella pertussis causes "whooping cough". The name refers to the whooping sound made upon breathing in during a prolonged coughing spell. This vaccine-preventable illness can be life-threatening to young children and even the elderly. In its early stages, it looks like the common cold, but then it develops into unrelenting coughing spells that often interfere with breathing. Antibiotic treatment is only effective in preventing the later stages of the infection if it is started during the very early stages of the disease.
Pertussis Is Highly Contagious
Bordetella pertussis is considered an atypical bacterium that does not enter the bloodstream. It stays in the upper airways and interferes with the body's ability to clear airway secretions by infecting the cells needed for this function. It spreads easily from person to person and can often be mistaken for the common cold in the early phases of infection.
Contain Coughs
Immunization is the best way to prevent whooping cough. Other simple preventive measures include hand washing and "covering your cough," as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This simply means that if you are coughing and sneezing that you cough into your sleeve and not onto your hands. This is recommended as a way to prevent the flu, colds, and other respiratory illnesses.
Treat the Whole Family
The only sure way to prevent infection is through immunization; however, if you know you have been exposed to whooping cough and are likely to be infected, early treatment (within the first week) with the antibiotic erythromycin is effective in halting the progression of whooping cough. Erythromycin is also recommended as a way to prevent infection in those who have been in close contact with infected family members. While antibiotics started after the first couple of days of infection may not change the natural course of the illness, they should still be started to prevent the spread of whooping cough to others.
Don't Spread the Bacteria
Pertussis is extremely contagious. If you think you have the infection, notify your doctor as soon as possible. The quicker you get treatment, the better the chance of preventing whooping cough's progression and spread.
Vaccinate to Protect Your Baby
Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable illness. Vaccination practices have decreased the deaths associated with whooping cough over the years. All infants, children, adolescents, and even adults need to ensure that they are vaccinated appropriately. Young children should receive five doses of vaccine between the 2 months and 4 years of age.
Boost Protection for Adolescents
Older children and adults should also receive a pertussis booster, even if fully immunized as an infant and child. The antibodies created after immunization become less effective within six to 10 years from the last dose. This recommendation was made after observing an increase in the number of severe cases of pertussis associated with exposure to infected and minimally symptomatic teenagers and adults.
Get Your Own Boosters
The Tdap vaccine is routinely recommended to all adults and is now given instead of the old tetanus booster that did not contain pertussis. Adults and adolescents usually have mild symptoms with pertussis infections but can often expose young infants and children who may not be completely protected by vaccination.
Remind Caregivers to Get Boosters
Though many vaccine-preventable illnesses are not seen very often today, if you do not routinely get your child appropriately vaccinated, the "herd" immunity from which we benefit will certainly disappear, and we will begin to see many of those serious childhood illnesses begin to reappear. This is the case with pertussis, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and many others.

The 6 Craziest People Who Are Overpopulating the World
#3. The Sperm Donor With Over 400 Likely Children
In the late '70s, Kirk Maxey was a pretty bright medical student having a hard time making ends meet. He was also the husband of a fertility clinic nurse who was sick of ramen dinners three nights a week. His wife suggested he start donating sperm to the clinic, both for profit and for fun. And that's the story of how handsome, blond, blue-eyed, educated Kirk Maxey funded his medical research by giving of himself twice a week for 14 years.
The rest of his time was spent in an exhausted stupor.
The Crazy:
You'd think that at some point in the decade-plus-four-years of masturbating into a cup twice a week, this doctor who was smart enough to start his own biomedical research company and serve as a consultant to some of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies would have taken a second to consider the consequences of all this wanking. After all, back in those days, sperm banks weren't keeping good tabs on who was getting what. Years after he'd left his career in professional boner massage, he settled down and began to raise his own traditionally conceived children. Then he sat down to do the math:
"His calculations, rows of long numbers on a yellow sticky note fastened to his computer, show he has donated 172,920,000,000 spermatazoa split into 2,161 vials. Using a 20 percent success rate, that equals 432 births."
"Where do babies come from? Well, son, first you get a vial ..."
And this was after two of his now grown daughters came forward to connect with him. OK, now get this: Maxey made most of these donations at the same clinic in Southeast Michigan. If he really had 432 kids over 14 years, we can imagine there was an average of 30 births a year. This sticky little wicket wasn't lost on the good doctor:
"I have a son that lives in the area and most of the patients came from a 100- or 150-mile radius of the area. If you do math, again, there may be 100 young women that are basically my son's age that are his half-siblings. I have to tell him there is an awful lot of your brothers and sisters that you don't know and I don't know."
That is, there's a great chance he might wind up accidentally dating one of his siblings.
"I don't know what it is, but every time I'm with you, I just have to puke."
Incest opportunities aside, the good news is that Maxey has become a vocal advocate for stricter sperm bank regulation. He's also mapped out his genome online in an attempt to notify and caution his multitude of offspring. He even had himself completely checked out for any possible genetic defects and found zero problems, other than that one gene that drove him to chronically masturbate into specimen jars for 14 years.
#2. The "Bumpaholics"
Some women are just born mothers. Well, not born mothers, because ewww, but you know what we mean. They enjoy pregnancy, love their kids, pop out a few more humans than the rest of us and have extra stretchy bellies under their oversized sweatshirts. Usually they hit a point where enough is enough and they move on. But not the rare pregnancy addicts known as "bumpaholics." These are women who get pregnant for the pleasure of pregnancy, babies be damned.
For nine months nobody can be around her for more than six seconds at a time.
The Crazy:
An addiction to pregnancy seems counterintuitive, what with all the morning upchuck, hormonal calamity and general fatness that accompanies it (not to mention that from what we've heard it hurts a bit toward the end). But for some women, that's when they get their kicks. British surrogate mom Jill Hawkins, for example, has had 10 babies ... and kept none. She's just really into leasing her womb, and also the $18,000 she gets for each rugrat she squirts out. But don't think for one second that this is just a savvy lady using her own innards for a profit. Hawkins has been treated for depression, threatened suicide in the past and expressed a desire to be impregnated two more times before she hits the big 5-0. When asked by a reporter as to why she didn't have any children of her own, she responded that, "I never want to keep them. I'm not maternal and very selfish."
Via Daily Mail
"But without being pregnant, I'd never be able to wear this shirt."
And she's not even the big winner of the uterus-for-hire game. Carole Horlock (also of the U.K.) has produced 12 children in 13 years as a surrogate mother, and after delivering triplets in 2008 remarked, "I've never had a problem handing the babies over." Meanwhile, she and her father are no longer on speaking terms because dad is distraught over the whole thing. As he sees it, she's giving all his grandchildren away.
Via Worldrecordsacademy.org
"Well, that and she's really fucking crazy."
#1. The World's Most Open-Minded Family
Long ago, Luiz Costa de Oliveira of Brazil married a young senorita named Francisca. The two immediately started producing offspring at a pace that probably earned him a knowing wink and nod from the neighborhood rabbits. Francisca would tragically pass away before reaching her full potential, but left Luiz with an impressive 17 children.
Luckily, Luiz found love again with a new wife, Maria, and she allowed him to pick up right where he left off. The new marriage would eventually result in a tie with the late Francisca's mark, with Maria also bringing forth 17 new humans. The family brood was now 34, and Maria was clearly going to need a little help with the logistical issues of industrial scale PB&J production and fecal containment. Here's where things went a little nuts.
Her uterus exploded.
The Crazy:
Overwhelmed and undersmart, Maria asked her sister Ozelita to the farm to help out. What she didn't count on was Luiz's unrepentant penis pumping, because it wasn't too long before Ozelita came down with a bad case of the pregnants. Fifteen times, all while the three of them were living under the same roof. Maria just couldn't stay mad at Luiz, apparently; the man just loved the ladies, as evidenced in an interview where he proclaimed, "The thing that God made best in the world was woman."
If you've been keeping track, you'll find we're at 49 babies at this point. As amazing as this number is, Luiz surely must have felt some disappointment at coming in just one shy of the half-century mark. Luckily, there was one more eligible female in the house who had yet to swoon for Luiz's girthy charms. As if this scenario wasn't already enough of a Penthouse Forum letter for you, Maria and Ozelia's mother also succumbed to Luiz's grunty temptations and bore him one more child. Yay! Fifty!
Via Telegraph
That's her there in the blue, looking like she's ready to get to work on number 51 right now.
These days, Luiz is in his 90s and is pretty much retired from carnal canoodling: "I hardly make love anymore these days, even though I'm in good health." Please take note there that he said "hardly" anymore, not "never." An honest man, Luiz admitted that no way in hell could he remember all his children's names, let alone the more than 100 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren, not to mention the ones he may have had and never knew anything about: "I could even have other children and not know it because I always liked to go out with women." "Go out with" in this sense meaning "bone relentlessly."

GCC leaders hold their 13th Consultative Meeting
May 11, 2011
Under the chairmanship of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, the leaders and heads of delegations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states held their 13th Consultative Meeting at Dir'iya Palace in Riyadh yesterday. The summit was attended by UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum; Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa; Omani Deputy Prime Minister for Cabinet Affairs Fahd bin Mahmud Al-Said; Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani; Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah; and GCC Secretary General Abdul Latif Al-Zayani.
During the proceedings, the GCC leaders reviewed the latest regional developments, focusing particularly on foreign interference in Bahrain, negotiations between Yemeni factions, and Palestinian reconciliation. They also reviewed the progress made in furthering cooperation between GCC countries.
In a press statement released after the meeting, Secretary General Al-Zayani said that the delegates fully sided with Bahrain in its efforts to restore security and vowed to unite as one to face any danger threatening any GCC country. They welcomed the entry into Bahrain of the joint Peninsula Shield Force and praised the decision of the Bahraini government to lift the "state of national safety" on June 1st. In this regard, the leaders expressed profound concern over the continual Iranian interference into the domestic affairs of GCC countries. They accused Iran of spreading sedition, sectarianism and conspiracy within societies to the detriment of national security, in flagrant violation of the principles of sovereignty, good neighborliness and international norms and laws.
The meeting also included a briefing on the latest contacts made with Yemeni political factions regarding a draft agreement proposed by the GCC. The delegates urged the Yemenis to sign the pact in order to break the current impasse and to avoid a further deterioration in security and an increase in political rifts.
The GCC welcomed the Palestinian national reconciliation arrangement reached in Cairo, calling for the Palestinian signatories to live up to their words and to take advantage of this historical opportunity to restore their rights and establish an independent state.
Finally, the delegations welcomed the requests by Jordan and Morocco to join the GCC and invited the countries' foreign ministers to enter into negotiations to finalize membership agreements.
The Saudi delegation to the meeting included Riyadh Governor Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz; Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal; Chief of General Intelligence Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz; Secretary General of the National Security Council Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz; Commander of the National Guard Prince Miteb bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz; Advisor to the King Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz; President of the Cabinet Presidency Court Prince Abdulaziz bin Fahd bin Abdulaziz; Minister of Finance Dr. Ibrahim Al-Assaf; and Minister of Culture and Information Dr. Abdulaziz Khoja.

The game already has problems dealing with the level of players (not to mention rules) of level 8 football, so level 10 is pushing it too far in my opinion. Plus, all those added leagues and cups are bound to slow the game down over time, for very little added benefit once you (hopefully) climb up the league ladder.
Better to start from level 8 or 6 in England and include more nations. At least for us that don't have a PC nicked out of NASA's labs
mines running fine from level 10 season in about 2 days but mines a beast and i can see how it would slow down
haha I have just spent some time reading through that Havant & Waterlooville save that I did ages ago. The memories :*)
Cranked up FM and disaster, my Asia save has corrupted.
Was debating whether to start a new save in Africa, follow DodgeeD route and manage around the continent. Just got back from Tunisia and after seeing a couple of the stadiums in Sousse and on the flights in and out, its tempted me to have a game there. Just a little gutted with Asian save as I was enjoying it.
Shame about the save ToMexico!! Come join me in Africa then! There are plenty of .xml leagues available for many of the nations, big and small. LAways the chance to discover the next Weah, Eto'o or Drogba as well.
@ToMexico! if you want a real challenge, try my Ethiopian Leagues. If you start anywhere but St. George, you start with, well, nothing. Fun, though.

Not to sound a total idiot but do players in your "B" team contribute to your wage bill?
They made the forum look horrible guys.
I seriously hope they sort out the margins business. Screenshots and tables are going to look crap on this new forum skin.
It's actually so bad that I probably won't use the forum as much as I used to unless there are dramatic changes.
It's really frustrating to use - slow, blocky, bulky and too bright. It's actually hard work to navigate, hard work to load up threads and to read posts etc.
I hate the margins and the way that it has ruined all of the tables and screenshots in my threads.
In short, it looks bloody awful!
I can't say I'm too happy with it either, the fixed width looks pretty awful on my laptop.
My updates seem to have loads of gaps and the table is a bit knackered
Not a fan either. The only positive I see is that the announcements are detached more from the forum itself but the margins, colour scheme and appearance of code tables and screenshots is not good.
It's a bit hard to read but I think we'll all get used to it eventually...like the time we went to vBulletin from whatever forum software we used before...but it's real hard to see the thread starters than before.
Although I really hate the smileys except and
I recommend this for those struggling with the new layout on the forums - http://userstyles.org/styles/33293?r=1278493346
It increases the width of the forum (plus makes a few changes to colours etc.) which will really improve the look of screenshots and tables in our threads.
You need 'GreaseMonkey' to install it.
Thanks for the link crouchaldinho. The width is much better now and screenshots actually fit into the white box. Now to see what formatting works best for my next season update.
I have already expressed my displeasure in OTF and a quick moan in GQ.
Are they going to do anything anout the pictures? Or am I going to have to just put links in?
Ok well I'm going to refrain from posting until that little issue is sorted
Even resizing my images to 800x600 makes them stick off the edge of the page, pretty annoying really.
Just testing:
Seems fine for me on 800x600, does that image overlap for you?
Fine for me Dafuge. 1280 x 800 screen resolution, 13" macbook...
I still have to scroll the screen along a little bit to catch the end of the image, before I never had to do that it all fit nice and snug on the page. Maybe I need to change my resolution or something but I am not really sure.
Problem with the names on the side now?
But massive improvement so I'm happy.
Better off posting thumbnail pics I think. The box on the left is way too big.
I'm thinking of doing a "Rise and Fall of FC Libourne Saint Seurin" documentary style thing for my FC Libourne save game. Despite the fact it would be very story-esque, I'll probably end up posting it here cause I want to use pictures and such that FMS aren't too keen on.
im considering starting a new game after the ease with which im winning everything anyone care to suggest some leagues?
S.Africa, Egypt, Japan, Germany not sure what else to add.
Argentina and the MLS have been fun for me this year. I always enjoy games in Mexico and Turkey as well.
i pretty much had my fill of MLS in a earlier save, might go Mexico though but i do fancy Brazil over Argentina
I can go all day with this , but it depends on your computer specs.
Not be a total whore but yeah I'd appreciate some feedback on my career. Done one full season and only one person has replied (thank you Rancher
Border Hopping
I've enjoyed the Czech Republic and Denmark in the past too. Always fun to try and compete in Europe with a team from one of the 'smaller' leagues.
All this talk of huge setup's makes me wish I had a better pc
Was there any more on the awards?
I think it'd be good to have one now too...now it's been a year. I'm pleased with how the forum has developed and how popular it's become since I lobbied for this forum; and inparticularly some of the great reads that've been posted. I'm not sure about running it either as my wife is due to give birth in the next few weeks so I won't have the time. I'd be more than happy though to add suggestions and ideas if needed.
I'd be happy to run it, but I haven't got much clue on what I'm doing...
I'd also be happy to either run it or help out. Perhaps a dedicated thread to find out who's interested and discuss categories, criteria etc would be useful...
I can help out with awards. I probably don't want to organize it but I would help out. Since the CSE guys and the Career Forum people are pretty much the same group of forum users why not set a group to deal with each one? Since canvey!! is doing the CSE one maybe one of Daf/Purefun/Neji can organize the Careers Forum awards.
I'm off on holiday soon, so if no one has come forward by the start of August then I'll take it on. The only downside with me doing it is that it will need to be quite quick, come September I just won't have the time.
I'll put a new thread up and see what people think.
I've got to be honest and say that I am nearly at the point of giving up on this forum after the recent changes.
This forum is so slow. It makes looking through threads a real chore. It's made all of our career threads look worse. In short, it really is bloody awful and I can't believe we're stuck with it.
There is nothing to like about it as far as I am concerned. It's slow and looks like utter crap. I can't think of any nice things to say about it to be honest.
I'm very tempted to start posting about my careers, and reading other people's careers, on another fans' forum as I find this one so frustrating now.
Anyone else feel the same?

No not really
I have gotten used to the changes..
I have change the resolution of my PC now due to having a better graphics card and the forums look okay. All the pictures show up perfectly now within the width of the threads, sure it doesn't look quite as good as before but not enough to put me off posting here.
Perhaps I am just overreacting then. I'm just finding it very frustrating and annoying.
I still prefer the old style of the boards. However, the speed isn't too bad for me, pages load up fairly quickly and pictures fit in the width of the page. For me, it's bareable...unfortunate that it isn't for you C.
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm just finding it quite slow, especially compared to the old forum. The loading times for a new page are really poor compared to what we had before.
I also strongly dislike the new layout, although it is somewhat bearable with Swisso's update to the colour scheme. Still, I find it less intuitive generally. I find myself having to 'work' that little bit harder to navigate through threads.
Overall it frustrates me, whereas I found the old forum a pleasure to use. Perhaps I just need to work a bit harder at getting used to it.
The new forum layout is fine now they've sorted out all the (minor) annoyances.
I'm not a huge fan of the new skin but I haven't found it that bad to use.
Switching back to a full width page was a great move for me, I'd have struggled with the fixed width version we had.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here but on a 32-bit system the game can only use 2gb of ram at max even if the memory on the pc is larger say 4gb?
its not so much the game, its the Operating system will only detect 3.12GB of ram so will only allocate that much to the game and other programs, if you want to use all 4gb you need a 64bit OS
Just curious as my parents said they'll buy me some new hardware due to good exam results. 3.12gb seems good enough considering I only have 1.75gb (DDR2) atm. Should do me well enough till I can get a new pc.
Thanks for the info Acid (Y)
Oh FFS. I'm offering out a great goalkeeper for free and one club is interested (which he promptly turns down). Current England international, 25 caps 23 yo, worth 18 million, and nobody wants him. Get real!
Odd to want to sell him you say? Yes. But I have the Portugal international, and he looks slightly better. Plus a young England one who looks great. And I've given up on using two almost evenly skilled goalkeepers as I can't keep them both happy with enough match time. It's the beginning of July too, so everybody are loaded with cash.
Football Manager 2011 official announcement - just in case anyone hasn't noticed it yet.
Probably the big highlight for people here sounds like the dynamic league reputation, could have huge potential for long term games.

I'm slightly tempted to go back to a game in NI with the dynamic league reputation.
Aye, dynamic league reputation is great news!
They seem to have tacked it on the end of their announcement, almost as an afterthought, but it's something that's been high on the wishlist of career and "small club to big club" players for years now. That feature alone would be enough for me to buy the new game.
Dynamic league rep should make for interesting global career games!
Indeed... imagine Scotland sinking below the standard of the League of Wales.
I probably won't get going with FM11 until a nice long list of additional leagues is created
Isnt it too easy getting a decent job with no reputation? I started with no reputation and as an Icelandic manager i was getting jobs at a europe league qualifying Icelandic club, decent scotting sides and teams from B league in Scandinavia. I understand its not possible to start as a total bum in the game, but surely I shouldnt be able to get a job at a club playing in UEFA cup?
I hope they make career modes more enjoyable in FM11. I would really want more customization for your profile, i.e. favorite players, city of birth, coaching style, language etc.
haway then its the 2050/51 season ive just left crook, to start the journey again pretty much from league two with Sunderland, new thread or should i continue the old one?
Same save, same thread I say. Hope you have as much success with the Black Cats as you did with Crook.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can confirm that i'm not being stupid!
I'm currently playing in South Africa and in order to sign foreigners they need a work permit. I know the ruling for work permits to be granted (75% of International games or an exceptional talent) but this guy has just been signed by one of my rivals in the same league. He's nothing amazing but I can't for the life of me figure out why he's been granted a work permit. I've tried signing players 2/3 times better than him but they can never sign due to not being granted a WP.
Here he is -
As you can see, he's not great, he hasn't played the required number of international games and he doesn't have South African nationality. So, my question is...why has he been granted a WP?
Any help would be great thanks...there's loads of good foreigners i'd love to sign! :
possibly his potential?
ok ideas for my thread title cant stick with the story of Crook Town, now im at sunderland, ideas?
Are the work permit conditions in South Africa the same as the ones in the UK?
From what I can gather yes. I've managed to sign a couple of foreigners and all of those had played in 75% of their countries international games. I've tried signing foreigners who've played none or only a few international games and they're not granted one. If the guy I posted above was exceptional then I guess I could understand it but he's not. The thing is, i've tried signing exceptional foreigners but even those aren't given a WP. :confused:
One other question i've been meaning to ask...
...where's the little box at the bottom of the page that tells you who's online and viewing what?
Is it worth putting in a big bid for him, just to see what happens with the WP?
I could do. I'd like to get down to the bottom of it.
I currently have my scouts scouting Africa and they've come up with an ivorian who they think will get a wp despite him not playing any I.international games. The only thing I can think of is that he's classed as an exceptional talent. :confused:

Sorry, double post. Stupid phone!
And he hits the triple
I actually couldn't give any help with that Raware I just try and sign em and if they get a work permit good if not then stuff em.
And the mystery continues. I agreed terms with Francois Lelievre (just to see if I could sign him) but his work permit application was turned down so i'm none the wiser as to how he initially signed.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Perhaps they have a 'friend' in immigration?
its definitively a weird one. this is probs wrong but could it be a case of his CA was just enough when he signed for them to be classed as an exceptional talent, but now his CA isn't good enough for him to be classed as that anymore?
Seriously though, your theory could be correct. I don't know what else it could be :confused: It just has me curious as there's a load of foreigners i'd love to sign but can't due to a wp not being granted yet AmaZulu have one granted for Lelievre for no apparent reason. Guess i'll never know!

Since I fairly new to the Regeneration deal I have a question about regenerating Hydra creatures with +1/+1 counters on them. My friend seems to think that if he Doom Blades, Supreme Verdicts, or any destroy creatures/target creature on my side of the field, that I can't use the regeneraton effect from Golgari Charm on my Primordial Hydra or Savageborn Hydra. He thinks that they become 0/0's and the counters thus go away so regenerating a Hydra with no +1/+1 counters on it since I cant recast it means my Hydras are dead. Is this correct?

Those two spells Destroy. Regeneration replaces destruction, which means the destruction doesn't happen, which means it doesn't cause anything to go to the graveyard. If you cast the regeneration mode of Golgari Charm in response to Doom Blade or Supreme Verdict, your Hydras will be safe. They will not lose counters, enchantments, or equipment; they don't gain summoning sickness; spells targeting them don't lose sight of them; LTB and ETB abilities don't trigger; etc.
Regeneration will not save the Hydras from being sent to the graveyard as a result of having non-positive toughness, but nothing in the scenario you gave reduces their toughness (by removing +1/+1 counters or otherwise).
I think the confusion stems from a belief that regeneration causes the creature to leave the battlefield, but come back(like persist does).
But the rules just says to remove the damage and remove the creature from combat Instead of destroying it(it's a replacement effect). It is continuously on the battlefield during the entire process.

The 6 Creepiest Easter Eggs Hidden in Video Games (Part 2)
Many famous video games have stuff hidden in them that most players will never find -- and in some (terrifying) cases, that's a good thing. Sometimes developers go through the trouble of creating a frighteningly elaborate Easter egg knowing well that only a select few will ever see it ... but that select few will be irrevocably changed by the experience.
#6. Skyrim -- The Secret Room of the Dead
Where do people go when they die? It all depends on who you ask, and if you ask Skyrim, the answer is, apparently, "To a dark, weirdly colored, cross-shaped room far under the ground."
Bethesda Game Studios
Inaccessible in the Xbox version, ironically.
What you're looking at is the Skyrim death room. (Alternate names include the Underworld, That Place With All the Dead People, and "Holy shit, what is this?") It's a room underneath the ground that's filled with the corpses of non-player characters who have died in the game. Not all NPCs go there, of course. Only the unlucky few do. Some are allowed a proper death; others are automatically banished to this small room in the middle of nowhere where they languish in a pile in the ground for all eternity.
And while you can only reach it by hacking or running into a game bug, it's totally intentional -- the name of the room in the game's code is WIDeadBodyCleanupCell, and it's even got two little coffins down there to let you know just where you are.
Bethesda Game Studios
Hell. Nudie hell. That is where you are.
Also, although the ends of the crossed corridors are open, they don't lead anywhere. Walking out of them simply drops you back in the middle of the death room, like in those endless loop levels in Super Mario 3, but with more death stench. Even the few dead NPCs who are up walking around can't leave. The room can be useful if you accidentally killed some poor character and still need to talk to him or her (again, only a few seem to make it down there), but otherwise it's just there to make you crap your pants and never play the game again.
#5. Red Dead Redemption -- The Ghost Town of Tumbleweed
We've told you before about some of the insane things you can find in Red Dead Redemption, like the accidental human-animal hybrids or the rampant sexism, but there's at least one thing that seems to be highly unsettling on purpose.
Rockstar Games
No, not fat zombies. Fat zombies are too funny to be unsettling.
You may have seen newspapers in the game mentioning Tumbleweed, a ghost town in the New Austin territory. In fact, the game seems to go out of its way to imply that Tumbleweed is a literal ghost town in addition to just being abandoned: The newspapers say things like "Following recent reports of ghost sightings in the abandoned town of Tumbleweed, visitors are continuing to tell of unnatural happenings and strange feelings."
Rockstar Games
"In unrelated news, a talking Great Dane has been spotted in the vicinity with some oddly clothed youngsters."
If you actually bother to visit the place, it's not exactly a full-on spook show, but there are some rather creepy goings-on. The large abandoned mansion in town, for example, is filled with odd mutterings and occasional whispers. It turns out there's even an explanation hidden in the game that you're not supposed to come across. A player managed to get through an otherwise unopenable door and found that the developers had stacked several (alive?) people inside the room, apparently solely to create the noises you hear in the house.
Rockstar Games
"You will paaay for yooour ... Oh, uh, hi there. *Cough*"
Then there's something even more mysterious. Throughout Tumbleweed, you can hear a dog barking constantly. There are, however, no dogs to be found in Tumbleweed. If you follow the barks, you're led to the town cemetery, where the barks originate, but again, there's no dog. But then if you enter the church next to that cemetery, carved into the pulpit you'll see "The Devil has got into that beast."
Rockstar Games
Marsten resisted the urge to carve an R in "Beast."
What beast? It doesn't say, but "ghost dog" sounds like a pretty reasonable explanation to us. This means there's apparently a possessed invisible dog going around the game, possibly watching you when you poop.
#4. Black & White -- The Game Whispers Your Name
Black & White is a god-simulator PC game, meaning you can be a benevolent deity who answers the prayers of his subjects or a dickish one who laughs and sips Mountain Dew as everyone starves. Both the original and its sequel are great games to play late at night while wearing headphones, due to a feature where you'll occasionally hear a creepy voice whispering "deaaaaath." This informs you that a villager has passed away, but when you hear it whispered directly into your ear as you're sitting alone in a dark room, it also serves as a friendly reminder of your own unavoidable mortality.
Lionhead Studios
As a reminder of other limitations of the body, animals will sometimes take giant shits.
But don't worry, it's just a game -- it's not like the game is whispering that word to you personally. What's weird is that, every once in a while, instead of saying "death," the voice will actually whisper your real name.
Yahoo Answers
By Yahoo's standards, that counts as "resolved."
There's no official explanation for this fun little Easter egg, but from what the players have gathered, the game picks up your name either when you set up your profile or from Windows itself. Yep, it can do that -- the game actually integrates itself with your email program and has villagers named after your friends alert you when you have mail, so we guess you're lucky the death voice isn't whispering stuff like "Permanently add inches to your maaaaanhooood."
Anyway, after the game has found out what you're called, it checks to see if your name is on the list of recorded names included in the game files, then brings up the clip at random times to spook you. Here's the MP3 file with all the names in the English version (they recorded different names for all available languages):
If your name isn't on the above list and the game still whispers it, we'd strongly suggest calling an exorcist. Oh, and before you start feeling safe because you don't play PC games, console games are perfectly capable of spying on you, too -- like in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, when a mind-reading enemy, Psycho Mantis, creeps you out by telling you exactly what other games you've been playing. This time the trick works by reading your memory card to see what games are saved there, meaning that this scene can last 20 seconds or 10 minutes, depending on how much of a nerd you are.
"And I see you've been enjoying [BROWSED PORN ON PS3 TILL 4 A.M.]."

It is a fairly well-known piece of trivia that Esther (minus the apocryphal chapters) is the only book of the bible that does not directly mention God. Which of the accepted schools of Hermeneutics consider this to be meaningful information for the interpretation of the text?

I don't think any "school of Hermeneutics" worth its salt would discount the importance of that characteristic of the book. While I don't believe it changes the interpretation of the book, it certainly underscores one of the central messages of the book: viz., The sovereignty of God is manifest even when it is hidden. Karen Jobes put it extremely well:
Iain Duguid echoes this same thought:
Personally, I take great comfort from the reminder that some of God's most thrilling work is done from "behind the curtain", so to speak. Often, it is when He seems most distant and invisible that I find He is most vitally active in my life and circumstances.

Why unions are in decline
Even as their ranks shrink rapidly, unions continue to wield enormous political clout in Connecticut. Today, only one 1 in 7 of people with jobs belong to a union, down 23 percent since 2009 and 44 percent since 1995, a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data dump showed.
Nationally, membership has declined for 23 straight years, falling to just 11.3 percent of the workforce; that's down from a peak of 28.3 percent in 1954. At 14.3 million, union rolls haven't been this low since Franklin Roosevelt's administration.

Methanex restarted an idle distillation unit which will debottleneck methanol production capacity at the Motunui, New Zealand site. This and other initiatives will enable Methanex to increase its total annual operating capacity in New Zealand by up to 900,000 tpy, depending on gas composition.
Methanex has reached a number of key milestones with respect
to its near-term capacity growth objectives in New Zealand,
Canada and Chile, the company announced on Monday.
On October 4, Methanex successfully produced its first
methanol from the newly-restarted
500,000 tpy plant in Waitara Valley, New Zealand.
In September, meanwhile, Methanex also restarted an idle
distillation unit which will
debottleneck methanol production capacity at the
Motunui, New Zealand site. These two initiatives will enable
Methanex to increase its total annual operating capacity in New
Zealand by up to 900,000 tpy, depending on natural
gas composition.
Also in September, Methanex began production from the distillation capacity it has added
at its facility in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The new unit
adds 100,000 tpy of operating capacity at the
"We are excited to be restarting our Waitara plant and to
have completed our distillation capacity initiatives in
New Zealand and Medicine Hat," said John Floren, CEO of
Methanex. These initiatives represent important milestones
in reaching our growth objectives.
"This new operating capacity, combined with our two 1 million
tonne plant relocations from Chile to Geismar, Louisiana, will
allow us to increase our operating capacity by up to 3 million
tonnes to a total of 8 million tonnes by 2016," Mr. Floren
added. "The projects have been completed on
schedule and on budget, thanks to many months of hard work by
our tams in New Zealand and Canada."
Methanex has also restarted its 900,000 tpy Chile
I plant.
"We expect the restarted Chile plant to produce methanol at a higher average daily
rate than we achieved in the first quarter of 2013, supported
by gas supplies from both Chile and Argentina through a tolling
arrangement," said Floren. "We have a first class team in
Chile and they have worked hard over the past months on this

progressing the relocation of two Chilean plants to
