Gay bomb
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"The Geneva Convention bans such warfare? Who cares! It just means more stable-boys for me."
The Gay Bomb was one of Steven Spielberg's early films. Before he became Mr. lookie-me-Im-a-big-shot thanks to films like "E.T." and it's sequel "E.T. returns- as merchandise!", he scraped a living making pornos and rather campy sci-fi flicks, most of which he'd rather forget.
"The Gay Bomb" is an exception. Delving deep into the then current trends of apocalyptic post-modernism and nascent sexuality, Spielberg put in a good number of months and kidney stones to see this film crafted to his levels of excellence.
It tanked. Everyone hated it, even his mom. This made him a bitter cynic. "Hey, why don't I give these motherfuckers the truckload of crap they deserve," he thought. "How 'bout a film where everyone dies, yeah, and I'll toss in a stinking squid!" Thus Jaws was born. Since all the squid props were being used in Hentai films, he settled for a shark.
Seeing how successful it was, Spielberg continued pulling ideas from deep within his ass (using tiny hooks attached to thin strings), leading to movies like 'Indiana Jones', 'War of the Worlds' and 'Titanic' (James Cameron's bunghole was running a little dry, so he borrowed a nugget or so).
edit Plot
Since its invention in 1945, the US Army used the gay bomb on all its enemies, including the Nazis,the slants, the Viet Kong, Saddam and Al Gore.
The first gay bomb was dropped on Hiroshima by a flamo bomber, the Enola Gay. Hundreds of thousands died, and the rest ran to the YMCA for first-aid, even though it was two cities away. Others crowded steel mills seeking employment.
In Vietnam, Agent Orange was coupled with Agent RAINBOW. The strategy backfired. The hyper-horny Viet Kong became the first battle rapists.
The gay bomb had an unusual effect on Gore. His affections turned away from men, towards the earth. He now violently shags any hole in the ground, and especially enjoys golf.
edit Unanticipated Consequences
Some gay bomb tests on US soil may have affected Americans. As average Joes turned into faggots, distressed and patriotic rich Republicans sought a cure. This came in the form of the AIDS Bomb, a canonized STD that attacked fags, punishing them every time they had some of that unnatural vile buttsecks. To date, this bomb has killed millions.
This project backfired too. Robert Mugabe stole some AIDS Bombs and gave them to his battle rapers. This deadly weapon infected about thirty million straight Africans (equivalent to three million Americans).
edit Future Projects
The Gay Bomb has sprouted many sister projects. A straight bomb is being developed, as an alternative to the AIDS bomb. A lesbian bomb is also being considered to deal with fat ladies.
It has recently been proven by leading South African researchers that AIDS Bombs are powerless against showers. This has lead to the development of a Super AIDS Bomb.

When I try to print my weekly Google Calendar, it shows roughly 6 am - 3 pm. I need it to print at least through 5 pm and maybe longer. Any suggestions on how to adjust the range that prints?
Google uses some sort of auto logic to determine the display time window. This is not customization directly in Google Calendar. Here are two work-arounds/alternatives:
Go to labs under the setting menu to the far right and activate the hide/show mornings and nights. Then define the day. If you drag the bar to 6 a.m., 12-6 a.m. will consolidate, and if you drag the end-of-the-day bar to 6 p.m., 6-12 will consolidate.
If you are using a Mac, you can sync your Google Calendar with iCal and print from there. It keeps everything on one page! I haven't used a Windows computer in a while, but I believe that Outlook Calendar can do it too...

it was a manon day
Remember that old TV show "This is Your Life"? I am winding up my norah gaughan vol.1 New England yarn shop tour and the last few shop visits have felt more than a bit like that show. Old friends and new, relatives of old friends (and new), sweaters of lives past and sweaters recently designed have all made appearances. My head is spinning.
My visit to Windsor Button in Boston included, among many other really nice occurences:
1 – A surprise visit from my boyfriend's daughters
2 – Meeting a fan from Korea who is part of a knitting group there whom are all knitting manon.
3 – A mother and daughter, Clarissa and Stephanie (with a very good natured Dad in tow), who took time from parent's weekend to come meet ME! (Not only is my head spinning, but it is swelling to gigantic proportion). Stephanie's gearing up to knit manon too – as her FIRST SWEATER.
Clarissa, Stephanie, me (gabbing away) and manon (on the tabletop dress form).
4 – The biggest surprise and thrill was seeing the owners of the first yarn shop I ever worked in. I hadn't seen them since 1982. Here we are, happy to see each other after 25 years:
5….and, always a favorite theme, customers tried out the sample garments (with me hogging into the photo again):
By the way, how about those RED SOX?????October 30, 2007
Norah, I'm so glad you had a great time at Windsor Button. I wish you were based on the west coast, but at least we get your designs out here! Speaking of your fantastic designs, I'm really glad to see Manon on a real, live customer. It looks so good on her. It didn't really catch my eye on the model for some reason (fit?). Aamu is super cute, too.October 31, 2007

A woman reported that three men shot at her vehicle while she was in the parked truck early Sunday morning in downtown Leavenworth, a police spokesman said.
No injuries were reported.
The incident was reported at 2:01 a.m. at Haymarket Square, 649 Cherokee St.
The 26-year-old Independence, Mo., woman told police she was in her truck when three unidentified men approached and shot at her vehicle, said Maj. Dan Nicodemus, Leavenworth Police Department deputy chief.
The men then fled in a separate vehicle.
"She was not struck or injured," Nicodemus said.
He said police located empty shell casings at the scene, and there was damage to another vehicle parked in the area. There was no damage to the victim's vehicle.
Nicodemus said the victim was unable to provide descriptions of the suspects other than they were males. They reportedly left the area in a red truck with silver rims.

This probably just technical, but anyway:
In "Simplicial Homotopy Theory" by Goerss and Jardine, chap. III, par. 2, after cor. 2.12, they describe a model structure on $Ch^{+}$, the category of chain complexes in non-negative degress. Equivalences are quasi-isom., fibrations are those maps which are surjective in degrees $n \ge 1$ (notice the $1$!).
Then they note: "After the fact, it turns out that the cofibrations are those monomorphisms of chain complexes having degreewise projective cokernels".
It seems this is not correct as stated. Maybe if it would say $n \ge 0$ upstairs it would be correct, but we do have $n \ge 1$ (corresponding to the picture of simplicial abelian groups).
Is it a typo or I don't understand something? Is there a nice description of cofibrations in this case?
Thank you, Sasha
Update: I was just confused with homological/cohmological indexing conventions. One needs either chains in positive degrees, or cochains in negative degrees. I by mistake used positive degrees as they, but with cochains - by habit.

Wills on the Big Questions (updated)
Garry Wills has a witty demolition of a new book, All Things Shining, attempting to sketch a philosophy of life in the current New York Review of Books. I've not read the book. But as described by Wills it seems silly. (The conclusion apparently includes a meditation on the deeper meaning of making one's own coffee.) And yet it has blurbs from figures I greatly admire, and whose work I know reasonably well (Charles Taylor) and also big names in American higher education (Vartan Gregorian). I wonder: is Wills too harsh or do these big names endorse books they don't even read?Update:See Sean Kelly's thoughtful (and admirably undefensive) response to Wills here. I take this to mean that Kelly (and Taylor and his other admirers) have something important to say, and that I need to actually read the book.

One of the coauthors, Sean Kelly, briefly responds to the Wills review in this thread:http://allthingsshiningbook.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/garry-wills-really-... promises a more thorough response.
Although it is true that Christians have at times used Greek Philosophy to help explain Christianity, Augustine's source for "all things shining" is Truth Himself.
I haven't read the book, but it looks like Wills might have missed something. The authors have a blog which I visited some time back, and I admit that I found it extraordinarily shallow. But the Big Names who praise the book, e.g, Charles Taylor, are no fools, so I assume there is something to be said positively for it, something Wills missed. I think, however, that there can be no doubt but thqt given a totally secular world the choice is between nihilism and essentially trivial pleasures which charm for the moment. Here are some more reviews and also Kelly and Dreyfus' blog, also called All Things Shining. "Visiting the website "All Things Shining" will give you the latest information on the book, the authors, the podcasts and showing of the movie.Visit Sean Kelly's and my blog! http://allthingsshiningbook.wordpress.com/Opinions, Reviews and more: [In no particular order and not mentioning the multiple blogs that talked or discussed the book.]Simon & Schuster: http://books.simonandschuster.com/All-Things-Shining/Hubert-Dreyfus/9781...

First Things is none too shiny on the book either:http://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/02/whooshing-through-life
No doubt, only in a secular world, would the tragedy of Marilyn Monroe be considered a wonderful thing.
Nancy --Nobody -- NOBODY -- said that Marilyn's death was a wonderful thing. Stop putting words in other people's mouths. Stop it.
I'm speaking about those who were complicit in the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe.
"I think, however, that there can be no doubt but thqt given a totally secular world the choice is between nihilism and essentially trivial pleasures which charm for the moment." I can't address the book, which very well may be trivial, or not.But I must say I find it curious that this either/or has become something of an accepted doctrine of late. Making sense of the "good pagan" is an ancient theological question. And just a few decades ago it was again a central concern of theology as Christians tried to make sense of the generosity and sacrifice of non-believers around them. I don't think there is any less evidence today of such non-Christian and non-religious goodness. Indeed it is widely evident in some highly secular demographics--e.g., journalists, human rights activists, serious anarchist communities.Of course one can always broaden the meaning of nihilism.
Vince --I haven't read the book, but I did read an article by Kelly in the NYT and then read some stuff on his blog. This was some time ago. As I understand him, his topic is neither moral good nor ontological good generally, so his question is not 'what is a good man'. His aporia is how to dispel the sadness consequent on the realization by contemporary man that there is no one ultimate value that will satisfy our longing for a single, overwhelming ultimate value.For him, values seem to be limited to those objects, acts, and events which produce a "wooshy" feeling in us. As I understood him, his position is a sort of limited utilitarianism which restricts goods/values to the feelings caused by these objects, acts, or events, or perhaps the values are the objects, acts, events themselves. So the question I raise is not: are the people who are devoted to wooshy experiences morally or ontologically good persons? Some of them obviously are what I'd call "good people". My question is: where in the ladder of values people believe they have discovered to be real do the wooshy ones rank? It seems to me that one of Dreyfus' main points is that we need to learn to be satisfied with what are , sadly, the lesser values, such as a good cup of coffee with friends. The reason we must be satisfied with them is because the other purported highly transcendent values, e.g., God, are not real ones. But I doubt such things can give "meaning" to most people's lives (whatever that ambiguous and obscure but important word means). Yes, at times they can distract us from unfulfilled longing. But I don't call that a happy life in any sense at all. Yes, I may have misread him. But I'm not inclined to read more. It's not very wooshy reading. It's sad.
Oops, that should have been "0ne of KELLY's main points . . ."
Ann, I haven't read Kelly at all, but I do think there is a serious case to be made for an ethics (or value system or whatever you want to call it) that acknowledges yearning for GREATNESS in the here and now or in the hereafter is a substantial human longing that needs to be carefully managed -- the unchanneled or thoughtless search for GREAT and BIG wooshy things (or "meaning" as you might put it) is frequently what leads to destructive nationalism and war or, perhaps, religious jihad. In the words of an author on a book about Iraq, "War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning." We mock a spirit of contemplative moderation at our own peril.
I have read the book, and, while I admire the attempt to link the classics with contemporary debates about feelings of plenitude and transcendence in a secular age, Dreyfus and Kelly left me pretty dissatisfied. Far too often they rely upon gross generalizations that misrepresent the texts at hand. When discussing Dante's journey to Paradise, for instance, they claim that, when given a preview of the beatific vision, Dante "seems to lose all sense of himself as an individual." God's love causes the pilgrim (and, by implication, all of the saved) to see that "all other earthly joys [are] irrelevant": the individual self is obliterated and absorbed into a homogeneous, heavenly host. This is a weak reading of Dante (the saved remain individuals despite their experience of the beatific vision) and of the Catholic theology that Kelly and Dreyfus want him to represent. Gross mistakes like this occur throughout the book, and Wills points to only a few of them.This isnt just carping over some misreadings, because these specific kinds of misreadings show the weakness of the projects overall mission. I understand that this type of book demands simplification, but how is it helpful to say that Augustine showed the complete irreconcilability of Greek philosophy and Christian theology, or that David Foster Wallace's vision of the artist needs correction by that of Elizabeth Gilbert, or that the whale in Moby Dick ultimately symbolizes monotheistic visions of the world? The classics are endlessly rewarding, but this is precisely because they're endlessly complex and challenging. You can't reduce Augustine or Dante or Melville to a few take-home lessons about the human condition; that's why they're so illuminating of the human condition. Kelly and Dreyfus ignore this, and it weakens whatever force their argument may have had. (And, by the way, Wills is also spot on about the ridiculousness of the books examples of modern transcendence. I love coffee as much as the next person, and I admire the beauty of a Roger Federer drop shot and a Pedro Martinez changeup, but Id be hard pressed to acknowledge these as sacred in any meaningful way.)
I have not read the book but I have looked at Kelly's self-presentation on his blog. He comes across as well meaning and likable but what he has to offer, I have the distinct impression, is ultimately supeficial. He may say that this is all there is so why knock it. I think there is more and so, apparently, does Wills.
What Joseph just said.
Though I have not read the book, from the two reviews and Ann Olivier's analysis I am reminded of the second half of Andre Compte-Sponville's book on Atheist Spirituality. In it he attempts to find meaning, a relative, self-created meaning and spirituality in the immediate present (past and future do not exist) and relies on a few moments of transcendent experience to illustrate his oneness with the universe (he is influenced by both Buddhist and Hinduist understandings of reality and the self).Compte-Sponville's book is worth a read because the first half is dedicated to deconstructing the arguments for God (he does a good job, though very Kantian) and the second half is a wonderful example of not applying the same force of reason (or any, in fact he makes several anti-rational statements) to your own sentiments as to the classical religions you just spent 75 pages destroying.
Unlike the recent past and before it, the word "transcendent" keeps being used seriously these days by secular folks, something like the word "soul", which also sometimes sneaks into the vocabularies of neuroscientists and other surprising seculars. Even the phrase "spiritual values" has started to reappear in non-religious contexts. Those words used to be anathema to the dominant anglophone philosophers, the positivists, who thought that there is nothing which transcends this world, and the only thing that is, is what we can sense with our physical senses. That view has persisted among many scientists and even a few philosophers, but generally in the secular world it seems to be dead. These days you can be "spiritual" without being religious in any sense. You can be a soul seeking to transcend. but to transcend what is not clear.As Kelley and Dreyfus show (if they don't say it), "transcendence" seems to be a necessity for people. K&D also speak of "transcendent experiences". The question is: what do they MEAN by that "transcendent"? Literally, it means going *beyond* or *above* other things. In philosophical lingo I'd say it usually has meant going *above* the physical into a non-physical dimension. But these days. as with Kelly and Dreyfus, transcending seems to mean just some sort of *lateral* move, not a move upward, to something superior to this world, to what is intrinsically different from the everyday stuff. They seem to be caught in the everyday, lateral values of such things as a cup of coffee or a Super Bowl game, with experience of union with other people being privileged ones. The latter goal can of course be very civilizing, and K&D's encouragement of such experiences can be to the good. But as they themselves point out, group experiences can be vicious, e.g., a Nazi rally with Hitler exhorting Nazis to conquor Europe and kill the Jews.So there needs to be a distinction made between the various types of unitive wooshy experiences. Unfortunately, if the reviews are correct, the authors don't seem to offer a basis for making such a distinction. It's the old problem the existentialists like Sartre wrestled with unsuccessfully, and the amoralist still might ask: why shouldn't I be a Nazi?

WACO (November 6, 2012)--A Waco woman was in the McLennan County Jail Tuesday after she was arrested and charged in an assault on her elderly mother.
McLennan County Jail records show Elizabeth Scott Norman, 47, was ordered held in lieu of a $5,000 bond, charged with injury to the elderly.
Waco police Officer Steve Anderson said Norman was arrested after officers were sent at around 11:30 p.m. Monday to an address in the 2100 block Charboneau to a report of an assault.
At the scene officers learned a 76-year-old woman had been assaulted.
The victim reported she had been struck several times in the face and neck.
Anderson did not say if the victim required medical attention.

As we know esri shared their library which makes it possible to work with FileGDB format without using ArcObjects. So the question is what kind of applications could be created in order to help GIS specialist to solve their tasks related with this format? For instance, I have an idea to create an opensource tool(GPL) which converts FileGDB to Shapefile (or other format) and backwards. Will it be in the demand? or perhaps somebody have already developed such tool? I will be grateful for any ideas about that (as well as collaboration ideas).
If you're planning to work in the Open Source world, I highly recommend looking at GDAL as a jumping off platform.
"GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. It also comes with a variety of useful commandline utilities for data translation and processing." -- http://gdal.org/
The library has support for dozens of formats beyond shapefiles, and there is already experimental support for the File Geodatabase using ESRI's APIs.
Strong support for File Geodatabase in GDAL would allow users to use these files in a myriad of open source tools -- MapServer, qgis, GRASS, etc. -- that use GDAL/OGR as an underlying data provider. (Note that ESRI itself uses GDAL as a translation layer to many image formats, and a way of extending ESRI's image processing support is to write a GDAL plugin.)
Also note that your idea of creating such a tool under the GPL is impractical, because ESRI's library can not be released under the GPL, the final product could not be distributed (as it would be in the violation of the GPL).
I will just add to crschmidt's reply that GDAL already has experimental support for the FileGDB API, too. It is just not compiled by default.
A few limitations is that it only works for points and it is readonly. Both things that can be changed - and patches are welcomed :)

Launch@Grow Highlights from #Summify
We have lift off. Last week's Launch@Grow launch party to the 2011 Grow Conference celebrated the blast-off of 15 of Canada's top early stage startups, as chosen by Canadian and Silicon valley judges.
With a fashionably late arrival, Team Summify setup shop quickly and got ready for an evening of mingling. Thanks to Bootup, beer, bunnies, and a little foosball, a great time was had by all. Here's the highlight reel:
Nim represents for Summify in @athinkingape's foosball tournament, and Urbandig brings a party bunny.
Our favorite part was mixing with everyone and getting to talk with current and potential new Summifyers. It's always interesting to see how people react to our value proposition, and it's even nicer to talk to loads of people who already use and love the service.
Summify was among the four winning startups chosen to pitch to Silicon Valley Angels and VCs at Under The Radar on Day 2 of the Grow Conference. Cristian Strat stepped up to pitch Summify to the high-caliber tech judges; some of which are already active Summify users. He had a great experience and we would like to thank you for your valuable insights and tough questions:
Wesley Chan, Investment Partner Google Ventures
Jeff Clavier, Founder and Managing Partner SoftTech VC
Rob Hayes, Managing Partner First Round Capital
Lars Leckie, Partner Hummer Winblad
Eghosa Omoigui, Founder EchoVC Partners
Aydin Senkut, Founder and President Felicis Ventures
A congratulations is also in order to the promising companies who joined us to pitch on Day 2: Unbounce (pitch winner), Tiipz and Rocketr. Great work!
Dave from Hoosuite is so cool that someone made a cardboard cut-out of him. We're big fans of Hootsuite and @daveohoots so we got in on the action. Be sure to check out his Vancouver, BC craft beer tour on Urbandig.
From the launch party to the after party – as if @dannyrobinson hasn't got enough of us, he made Mircea swallow some helium and attempt to pitch Summify again. Romanian helium accents are fantastic.
Launch@Grow Summary
For some of you, and our camera, the night may have been a little blurry. In case you need some help to remember all the cool companies that you bumped into, we made a Launch@Grow Summary just for you (click the images for a readable size):
Finally, thank you to Grow Conference 2011 organizers Debbie Landa and Jasmine Antonick of Dealmaker Media and our friends at Bootup for an amazing Launch@Grow event. For more on everyone behind the event and photos check out Bootup's #LPGROW It's a Wrap blog and their Flickr stream. Cheers!

Litter patrol coming to Belmont County
July 15, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – A litter deputy will begin patrolling the county to combat the rise in careless dumping in the area. A grant of $60,000 through the J.B....
Hey, Jefferson County could use some of that litter patrol money. My property suffered a LOT of damage from a flood on June 28th that was caused by tires and other trash that was illegally dumped on Township Road 117. A Warren Township Trustee actually told me that he just had a meeting with the JB team about removing the trash. So far, nothing has been done. Smithfield Township has basically washed their hands of the problem. Neither Township seems to be the least bit concerned with the safety of my family. This water came down the road without warning carrying tires, boulders and balls of mud as big as bowling balls. I would like to see the trash cleaned up and some government entity find a way to protect my family and property from any future harm. I sure as*****won't hold my breath though! Want to see some of the damage? I posted pics on Channel 9 under the IReports link at the bottom of their home page and I have a video here *******youtu.be/yeP6ROJMnBE

I wonder if this truck will ever see a dirt road? Will this litter patrol only be for St. Clairsville? Those of us living outside the city have been battling the litter problem for more than 30 years, but even when we turn in the garbage with addresses on envelopes nothing can be done. When we call in a robbery the sheriff's officer says they don't have time to respond. I can't imagine anything being done about litter and I am looking forward to being proven wrong! Not hopeful though.

Donations at the National Guard Armory on Morgantown Road are overflowing.
CDT Chip St. Charles says, "The turnout has been unbelievable. The community has come together and shown their support. The troops are gonna really appreciate it."
For soldiers overseas, getting a care package can mean a lot.
St. Charles says they, "Definitely brighten your day. And you realize that people do still remember that you're over there fighting and they care about you and haven't forgotten about you. A lot of worldly events may have taken precedence in their mind, but your still in there somewhere."
Logan County residents are showing their support by signing a banner that will be sent to troops in Iraq.
Davie Kener stopped to sign the banner. He says, "I can't be over there, so I just thought it was the right thing to do."
Natsha Collins organized the event. She says, "We just felt like we needed to show our support to the troops, and we wanted to make it a community-wide event, not just our church, our youth group. And this is what came about from all of us putting our heads together."
The First General Baptist Church of Russellville came up with the idea, and it drew many signers to stop and write a message for the soldiers.
Collins says, "I think they need to know that we haven't forgotten about them and that we still remember and we are praying for them everyday. And we know they are over there a long way from home and it gets hard. And they need to know we remember them."
People have been stopping by the National Guard Armory and making donations and coming to this Logan County gathering to sign this banner for troops when they don't even know anyone overseas. But Alva Todd has a personal connection to U.S. troops in Iraq.
Alva Todd says, "My brother is in the army, and right now, their platoon is in Iraq."
She is selling magnetic ribbons to show support for the troops.
Todd says, "I'm proud. He's my brother."
The National Guard is accepting donations anytime, but they'll be holding special donor drives once a month.
If you'd like to buy a magnetic ribbon from Alva Todd, you can call her at
(270) 782-2905. The cost of the ribbon is $5.

ESRI has an old set of PDFs from 2004 showing all the symbols available in ArcGIS at the time and their names. I don't need it often but if I'm searching for a certain symbol and don't know its name it's sometimes easier to look at a few sheets of paper than to use the Symbol Selector. It doesn't seem like it's been updated for ArcGIS 10, though. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a new version of this, or if anyone has created one on their own they might be willing to share.
The answer is no. I just saw a blog on the mapping center a week or two ago.
Matt are you looking for Symbols to Print from ArcGIS 10?
Credit to Brad Nesom on GIS Stack Exchange Is there a version of the ESRI ArcGIS Symbol Library PDF for ArcGIS 10, or some other cheat sheet for symbols/line weights?

ANDERSON, S.C. – Following a fall campaign that saw the Anderson women's golf team notch three top-seven finishes in four outings, head coach Danny Neal is looking for his squad to continue building momentum during its' spring season.
The Trojans posted their best finish of the fall (5th) at the Anderson University Invitational in mid-September and followed up by earning sixth at the King University Invitational three weeks later. AU placed seventh at Catawba's Patsy Rendleman Invitational in mid-October and wrapped up their fall slate with an 11th-place finish at the challenging Flagler College Fall Slam in St. Augustine, Fla.
"We are looking for more consistency in our scoring," said Neal. "We have had some tournaments where we've played pretty well one day and not so well the next day. It's about consistently putting together back-to-back rounds so we can compete and finish a little better."
Neal, entering his 11th season at the helm of the Trojan program, added "we have some ladies that were starting to play well toward the end of the semester. Of course they may be rusty following the winter break, but hopefully we can be more consistent [than last year]."
The squad's lone senior, Katie Eskew, led the Trojans with an average score of 161 over the span of four tournaments last fall and posted her best finish by finishing in a tie for fourth with a two-round 153 at the Patsy Rendleman Invitational.
"Katie has done a good job coming back from her injury," added Neal. "We will rely on her to be a consistently good scorer for us."
Natalie Feder, one of two juniors on the roster, was just behind Eskew with a 164.5 average over the four-tournament span. The Hartland, Wis., native carded her lowest score of the fall with a two-day total 159 to claim a share of eighth at the AU Invitational.
"Natalie's game has improved." noted Neal. "She was a four-five player for us a year ago and now she is a two and three player. She has done well."
"Katie has been playing well at No. 1 and Natalie has played well. We just need to get more help."
Junior Sarah Timms averaged a 170 in the four fall tourneys, firing a season-best 165 to finish in a three-way tie for 18th along with Eskew and Feder at the King Invitational in early November.
"Sarah has been a little inconsistent but she's had some good scores for us as well," said Neal. "And I look for her to do well."
Garyt Hamilton, one of four sophomores on this year's squad, posted a 171 average over three fall events, topped by a 163 at the Patsy Rendleman Invitational that saw her finish in a tie for 36th.
"Garyt has the potential to be a very good player," added Neal. "She has shown spurts of good rounds but her consistency is not quite as good as we would like. She hits the ball a long way – well past most of the girls she plays with."
Just behind Hamilton in average last fall was junior Braiden Furtick, who carded a 169 at the AU Invitational and shared the 26th spot, while averaging 172 over four tourneys.
"Braiden has been a good steady player for us near the five spot," added Neal.
Redshirt sophomore Crystal Swanson, a transfer from Northwest Florida State College, posted a 174 en route to sharing 28th at the King Invitational in her lone event last fall.
"We have to get Crystal some more experience," added Neal. "She is another player who has a good bit of potential and can score well. We believe she will really provide a push and competition for the other players that are in the lineup."
The Trojans begin action on Feb. 23-24 at the Ann Rhoads Invitational, hosted by Birmingham Southern at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Oxmoor Valley Golf Club.
"I am excited about our schedule," added Neal. "The weather can be iffy in Birmingham [in February] but it's a very nice place to play. And we always try to play in Pfeiffer's tournament at Hilton Head Lakes. The weather wasn't real good the last time – it was a little wet and course played long, but it's a good field."
Hamilton finished in a tie for 16th with a two-day 152 to lead Anderson to an 11th-place finish at the event a year ago.
"Wingate's Pinehurst Challenge at the National Golf Club is always a very challenging golf course, so we are excited about playing there," said Neal.
AU placed 15th at the Pinehurst Challenge last season, as Timms' 179 led the Trojans' two-effort and she finished in a four-way tie for 57th.
"The field at the Agnes McAmis Memorial is another good field," added Neal. "If we can do well playing in strong fields, it will help our rankings."
Paced by Eskew's two-day 17-over-par 161, the Trojans finished 14th at the 2013 Agnes McAmis Memorial, trailing Carson-Newman and North Georgia, while finishing 10 shots ahead of Pfeiffer and 28 strokes ahead of Erskine.
The Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament will be held April 13-15 at the Sevierville Country Club in Sevierville, Tenn. for the second consecutive year with the same three-day format.
The Trojans placed seventh at last year's conference tournament, as AU outpaced Mars Hill and Brevard. Feder led the AU effort with a three-round 261 and tied for 27th.
"It's a very challenging golf course and a very competitive tournament," concluded Neal. "We have a very strong conference and [the tournament] will be a challenge for us. But I like the format."

I am looking to solicit the community's opinion on whether or not it would be advisable to teach junior developers to code with implicit typing (using var) or should I encourage the use of explicit types.
This is not really a question about the advantages or disadvantages of implicit typing. Junior developers (at least the ones that I deal with) tend to develop very long lasting coding habits in their first years as professional developers and I am trying to think through the potential downside of starting a developer off with the implicit typing approach.
Are there specific scenarios that would warrant the advocacy of explicit typing? What about as part of the discipline of TDD?
And on the issue of ReSharper...
@Eben Geer mentioned ReSharper in his answer. Should we keep the default suggestion to use implicit typing in the inspection templates that our junior developers use?

Unanswered: How to determine device capabilities
Is there a simple way to determine if the device that the app is running on has various capabilities? For example, my app will run on both phones and tablets, is there a way to determine if the device is phone, camera, audio or sms capable? (I think I read somewhere that there is a tablet that can make phone calls, Samsung or something).

Not out of the box
You would need phonegap to help you with that.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a big thread of ideas to make Kongregate better.
First, there should be a list of features that are already being worked on. That I know of, these are:
Search & High Scores. People that know more than me should add more.
An idea that I just submited: A Recently Played Games section for each user. This would be great because often you play a few games a lot for a few days but then stop, so it would be really convenient to have a way to get easy access to them without adding them to favorites.
An obvious one: There should be a link to these forums somewhere other than the news section.
One that would be very useful right now: make the forum be able to handle new line characters so you can format things to not just be big blobs of text. [done!]

I'm looking for a backup tool for ext4, which can take a copy from a running FS like /var with no collisions in system after recover such FS. I know BSD dump has an '-L' option, which tells him to work on a snapshot. But nor dump nor dumpe2fs from repositories have such option. I've read about a patchset for ext4 providing snapshot support, but replies about it are very different, so i'm here to ask about your experience with this patches.
I have a nightly cron job that does just that, using a 5 level tower of hannoi backup pattern. This means I only have to do a full backup every several months when I feel like the level 1 dumps dumps are getting too large. Level 1 dumps are made on the 1st and 17th of the month.
Try amanda backup. It's a complete backup tool and works on a variety of platforms/architectures
Have you considered RSync for this purpose? There is a really great article here on how to setup snapshot-style backups with rsync in linux from scratch. Another alternative, also based on rsync, but a little more baked, is rsnapshot.

STEUBENVILLE - A visibly angry Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said Friday night his department and other agencies are now investigating an unofficial Anonymous member who has claimed credit for last week's protest rally and a second rally scheduled to be held at noon today on Market Street.
"Anonymous can say whatever they want to say about me. But when you attack innocent people and young children, I am coming after you," Abdalla declared during a Friday evening press conference in his office.
"We have a good idea who this Anonymous person is. I know where he lives. I know his mother's name, his father's name and his brother's name. This is not the real Anonymous. Enough is enough. You had your fun. People will believe what they want to believe. But I credit the Steubenville Police Department for the job they did. They had the investigation into this incident wrapped up in four or five days after the rape was reported to them in August," continued Abdalla.

SHERIFF SPEAKS OUT — Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla spoke during a Friday night press conference "to clean up some of the information that is being put out on the Internet." The sheriff said his office is investigating "a false Anonymous member who is attacking innocent people." -- Dave Gossett
Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison announced late Friday afternoon the city will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. today to discuss the focus on the city regarding the rape investigation.
Abdalla said his office is working with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and other agencies to investigate the Anonymous group that has organized the protest rallies in Steubenville.
Earlier this week Anonymous released a statement alleging local officials had participated in a cover-up of the sexual attack.
"It's time to put up or shut up. If you think I am corrupt, then prove it. I stand up as the sheriff and I back down from no human. This person can say what he wants about me but when you do a hatchet job on children, then I am coming after you. With all the crackpots and sex offenders in the world why would anyone put children's names out there?" Abdalla asked.
"Parents are very concerned about their children. This is going to stop. This person is taking credit for uncovering a disgusting video of a young man talking about the rape. The Steubenville police have had that video and passed it on to the Ohio attorney general's office early on in the investigation. That specific video is disgusting and nauseating. But you can't arrest that person for being stupid. Now, this Anonymous individual is taking credit for uncovering the video and that is false," stressed Abdalla.
Abdalla said he has been asked, "Why I didn't take control of the investigation. But the parents of the young girl went to the Steubenville Police Department to report the rape. There were kids at two different houses and no one outside of law enforcement knows where the alleged rape took place."
"The police department interviewed 59 people. No new evidence has been uncovered since the early days of the investigation. Some of the evidence found by the police department will be used at the trial. Other names have been posted. And those people are innocent. Testimony was presented at a juvenile court hearing by three individuals who were there at the time of the incident. And they testified only two people had sexual contact with the victim," Abdalla said.
"Names have been posted on the Internet of innocent people. They committed no criminal acts. One individual wasn't even in Jefferson County, much less Steubenville, when the alleged rape occurred," added Abdalla.
The sheriff expressed concern about today's noon rally in front of the Jefferson County Courthouse.
""I am sure it will be a peaceful rally. And, we will deal with any problems at this time," said Abdalla.
"The majority of the people who were at last week's rally and who will be there again this week are concerned about the victim. But there will be some people there who want to yell and curse the Steubenville police. And that is wrong," Abdalla said.

Thyroid Cancer Specialist

What kind of doctor do I go to if my family doctor thinks something is wrong with my thyroid?
Rachel Kelz, MD, MSCE, at Penn Medicine responds:
If your family doctor believes that you have a thyroid problem. You should schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist. To make sure the appointment is as valuable as possible, you should arrive with all of your previous studies in hand. You should at least have blood work including thyroid function tests and an ultrasound of the neck. Make sure that you bring a disc containing the ultrasound study and the report to the appointment for the doctor to review or submit for review.

The 5 Ballsiest Lies Ever Passed off as Journalism
We're going to blow your minds twice right now, so get ready. First off, there are magazines and news sources other than Cracked.com out there. Second, and slightly more surprising, is the fact that a lot of these news sources, (unlike Cracked), don't hold themselves to a high ethical standard at all, by which we mean, they regularly make shit up. We know. Crazy. So, while you're recovering from the one-two realization that unethical, non-Cracked affiliated news sources exist, allow us to run down some of the most morally questionable examples.
#5. Ben Franklin Really Fucking Hated the British (and Titan Leeds)
Of all the great things Ben Franklin was known for--lightning rods, bifocals, love of French prostitutes--journalistic integrity isn't on the list. But what he did have was a gigantic set he loved to show off. For one thing, Franklin wrote and distributed a supplement to the Boston Independent Chronicle reporting that American Indians were sending the British Royal Court hundreds of American scalps, the implication being that the British troops were using ruthless, child hating Indian-mercenaries to help them win the Revolutionary War.
The news outraged Americans, horrified British citizens and, when word reached the British Royal Court, deeply confused the monarchy, as they had yet to receive any scalps. Franklin wrote the supplement to garner support from European nations for the U.S., and it totally worked. The kicker? The last American Revolution battle ended in October of the previous year, which made the supplement unnecessary and balltuitous. (Balls + gratuitous. Look it up.)
Still, that's not quite as bizarre and dickish as what Franklin did to Titan Leeds. Publishing under his Richard Saunders pseudonym in his famous Poor Richard's Almanac, in between weather predictions and crop suggestions, Franklin predicted the death of Leeds, a rival almanac owner. When the predicted day arrived and Leeds, predictably, was still alive, Franklin decided to report and confirm the death anyway.
Leeds desperately published his counter-argument ("No I'm not.") but Franklin, an accomplished black belt in the subtle art of being a dick (or, "dickjitsu") pushed his lie even further and reported that, not only did Leeds die, but he was replaced by an impostor who was shamelessly hijacking the Leeds name to continue publishing almanacs. When Leeds eventually did die (five years after Franklin had predicted it), you'd think Franklin would come clean, but that's because you are, at best, a dickjitsu yellow belt.
Above: A dickjitsu master
Instead, in an act of unequaled dickishness, Franklin came out and congratulated the Leeds impostor for finally owning up to their lie and ending the whole charade (by dying). To reiterate, a guy's death is wrongfully reported, that guy tries to correct the mistake, Franklin calls him a shameless fraud and, at his death, congratulates him for dying. Textbook dickjitsu.
#4. NBC Has a Grudge Against GM
In 1992, Dateline NBC aired an investigative report about the dangers of GM's pick-up trucks. Dateline showed unsettling videos of trucks exploding on impact in low speed collisions, presumably due to either faulty fuel tanks or wizards.
Or both.
GM, of course rebutted the findings of Dateline, made a request to inspect the vehicles used in the footage and study the videos NBC released. Harry Pearce, GM's executive vice president at the time, gave an exhaustive press conference regarding Dateline's coverage, a press conference that involved what those in the legal field call "a shitload of evidence." One piece of evidence was a letter from NBC claiming that the vehicles used in the video were "junked" and, as a result, their inspection would be impossible.
Another piece of evidence was the fucking cars themselves, and they were astonishingly not junked. Before the folks at Dateline could get their act together and respond, "Oh, you wanted the cars we used in the footage, oh, OK, we thought you said cards, and we were like, 'huh?' Ah, but no, the cars are fine...," Pearce was ready to move onto Act 2 of Ruining NBC's Shit: The Musical.
Pearce also discovered that the explosion in the video wasn't caused by a faulty fuel tank, but was actually caused by remote detonation of explosives the producers rigged to the trucks prior to filming, and a person was standing off camera pushing a button a split second before the filmed impact. A lot of sneaky journalism scandals can be attributed to one scummy guy with delusions of blowjobs from big-boobed reporter groupies, but not this time.
Five different people were responsible for the idea. Three got fired, one resigned and one got the priest treatment--she was transferred to another station. We at Cracked like to think the best about people, so the only explanation is that they were drunk. For weeks. And a crazy ex-GM employee with an axe to grind was holding their daughters hostage.
It was a matter of weeks before GM initiated a lawsuit, pulled their ads and put out a two hour press release skullfucking Dateline into oblivion, all while cackling, "Who's exploding now, motherfucker?!" Jane Pauley read an apology on air, Dateline learned their lesson and moved on to more dignified reporting, and this also marked the last time GM ran into any trouble whatsoever, at all.
#3. Mark Twain Had a Grisly Sense of Humor
In 1863, San Francisco newspapers reported endlessly on the cooked books and financial trickery of mining outfits, and the San Francisco news outlet Territorial Enterprise advised investors to instead put their capital consisting of plague-ridden blankets and Buffalo nickels into San Francisco utility companies. Not out of financial responsibility, or anything; the utility companies were paying several papers bribes for reporting the tips. Still, most people didn't realize what was going on, they just read story after story to the tune of "Oh my God, investing in utilities is so good, you guys."
Except one story.
One story told of a man named Philip Hopkins who invested his life savings in Spring Valley Water Company of San Francisco on the advice of local papers but unfortunately lost it all. And as what many of us have done after the news of financial hardship, Hopkins slaughtered his family, slit his throat from ear to ear and rode off onto the sunset carrying his wife's bloody scalp. Hopkins allegedly died from his injuries at the door of a saloon, and an old fashioned posse investigated the Hopkins household, finding only two daughters alive. The papers published this horrifying tale and the public put a little less faith in the "Put All Of Your Money In Utilities" financial strategy that they'd heard so much about.
The gruesomeness of that story is matched only by its total bullshittitude. Never missing an opportunity to embarrass other people while twirling his awesome mustache, Mark Twain made the entire thing up, deliberately writing a story that was so ridiculous and sensational that any paper would have to publish it. Shortly after the news brouhaha that followed, Twain confessed to his publisher, who was actually pleased by the increased paper circulation and didn't fire Twain. That just goes to show you: If you completely fabricate a gruesome story for the sake of destroying someone else, nothing bad can possibly happen to you.

Last night we had one player move to the Doctor's Office Town space with one wound left. He wanted to use the special ability of the Doctor's Office prior to drawing an event card so that he could heal himself before encountering something from the event deck that could potentially cause damage to his character and possibly kill him off. At the time, we ruled that he would have to take the event card first since it is the first thing listed on the text for the space. As it turns out, he ended up drawing a "Duel of Honor" card. While he did survive the encounter (barely), he very well could have been killed. Should we have allowed him to heal his character first instead?

Generally, I would say that since the drawing of the event card is mandatory and the heal action is optional, the drawing of the event card happens first. However, the rules do say:
That kind of sounds like the intent of the special abilities may be to help deal with the event cards drawn during the encounter. If that's the interpretation, I'd rule that you can heal first, but that might be a bit of a stretch. "Encountering the space" seems to mean the entire interaction with the space, not just the event card.
Since there isn't a definitive answer in anything I can find, I'd go with the rule-of-thumb that mandatory happens before optional.

Lost in the City - 20th Anniversary Edition: Stories (Paperback)
The nation's capital that serves as the setting for the stories in Edward P. Jones's prizewinning collection, Lost in the City, lies far from the city of historic monuments and national politicians. Jones takes the reader beyond that world into the complicated lives of African American men, women, and even children, such as the girl set to begin elementary school in "The First Day," who work against the constant threat of loss to maintain a sense of hope. From "The Girl Who Raised Pigeons" to the well-to-do career woman awakened in the night by a phone call that will take her on a journey back to the past, the characters in these stories forge bonds of community as they struggle against the limits of their city to stave off the loss of family, friends, memories, and, ultimately, themselves.
Critically acclaimed upon publication, Lost in the City introduced Jones as an undeniable talent, a writer whose unaffected style is not only evocative and forceful but also filled with insight and poignancy.

To the editor:
Two weeks ago, I attended a meeting in Smithfield. The meeting was called to discuss whether or not to let Jefferson County take over its water department. All three county commissioners attended. The commissioners said that they really didn't want the water department, but they would forgive the $150,000 unpaid water bill if they took it over. This is confusing. They said they don't want it, but they give away $150,000 to get it. Some more confusion - if you are a county water district customer with a delinquent water bill, you should get a shut-off notice. Then they will shut your water off until you pay your bill. However, Smithfield gets a bonus for not paying its bill. Is this fair?
With these county commissioners, it doesn't matter. When asked about having a meeting for the county water district's customers, they weren't interested. How do you ignore more than 7,000 customers, whose money you are giving away, to benefit about 400 customers who owe $150,000?
In one of my earlier letters, I told the readers that water customers could run this county if they stood together. This is the time. When you are denied representation by the people who are supposed to represent you, it's time to make a change. Fortunately, two commissioners are seeking re-election. In both cases there is an opposing candidate.
Here's how we do it. The 7,000 voting customers translate into 15,000 votes. All water customers and their resident dependents 18 years or older should register to vote and then do so. No politicians in the county can overcome that number of votes. Get rid of these guys, now. If you don't like the replacements, in four years get rid of them, too,
Here are a couple of more reasons to get rid of the two commissioners who are seeking another term: Commissioner Dave Maple is responsible for your sewer bill being as high as it is. He almost single-handedly rammed that rate increase down your throat. Commissioner Tom Gentile is leading the charge to buy a building to house the county offices that the county doesn't need nor the taxpayers can afford.
By the way, they are the same two county commissioners who were willing to inconvenience an entire community by creating a walking trail on old state Route 7 north of Toronto.

(AP)Saturday games of varying degrees of interest, grouped in highly subjective categories. For more in-depth preview content, visit Andy Staples' Walkthrough.• Biggest game we feel like we couldn't predict if our lives depended on it: No. 3 Kansas State at TCU, 7:00 p.m. ET. We're still harboring a dream that seemed far-fetched just a few short weeks ago, a dream inspired by Tom Fornelli suggesting that if Bill Snyder takes home the crystal football this year, he'll break it in half and make two hard candy dishes. The 'Cats, at 9-0, are one of six undefeated teams remaining in FBS play. No gimme games remain, but then again, they haven't played a gimme game since Oct. 6 against Kansas. In their past three outings, they've beaten three ranked opponents by a combined score of 154-68.The Horned Frogs, no slouches on defense, will pose a greater threat to K-State's undefeated season if the Wildcats take the field without starting quarterback Collin Klein. The Heisman frontrunner's status for Saturday has been carefully guarded almost since the moment of his injury during last week's game against Oklahoma State. It's entirely possible we could see this contest played out without either team fielding the quarterbacks that topped the depth charts at the year's outset. Only one thing is for certain: This will be the purplest football contest of the regular season.• Most promising undercard matchup: It's a late one this week, but one we feel is worth staying up for. Fresno State at Nevada, 10:35 p.m., will do its part to shape the future of a still wide-open Mountain West.• Locavore ball: For those of you who prefer to keep your tourism dollars in-state and celebrate the traditional simplicity of farm-to-fan football, please enjoy Central Michigan at Eastern Michigan (1:00 p.m.), Kent State at Miami (1:00 p.m.) and Wake Forest at NC State (3:00 p.m.).• Grisliest potential blowout: Kansas at Texas Tech, noon. Seth Doege wants Heisman consideration, and the Jayhawks can't defend the pass (or the run) (or much of anything, really).• Pointiest potential pointsplosion: West Virginia at Oklahoma State, 3:30 p.m. Despite some recent skids, these are still two of the top 10 scoring offenses in the country, both averaging more than 40 points per game. And just in case the shootout potential wasn't high enough already, both mascots will be armed:Heading to Stillwater Oklahoma this weekend. Excited to be around another mascot that carries a real gun with him!— Jon Kimble, Mtnr (@WVUMascot) November 8, 2012• Best mascot symbolism. Oregon State at Stanford, 3:00 p.m. Beavers versus trees! Bawww!• Saddest event we still technically have to call a football contest: UMass at Akron, with a combined record of 1-18, 2:00 p.m.• Idle curiosities: Games that intrigue us for no really good reason: Army at Rutgers, noon, with the Black Knights fresh off a pantsing of Air Force and the Scarlet Knights having just been upset by Kent State. Both teams have knights as mascots, so perhaps we'll see jousting at halftime.Also, Georgia at Auburn, 7:00 p.m. We insist the Bulldogs got all their lollygagging out of their systems with that early bit of sleepwalking against Ole Miss, but we live with a notoriously pessimistic Georgia grad, and right now about all he's happy about is that tickets will be cheap.• Ill-advised upset alert: UCF at UTEP, 7:00 p.m. Central Florida leads Conference USA East. UTEP is in last place in Conference USA West. But it's El Paso at night, which produces a strange energy we are partial to. Whatever. It's the alert itself that's ill-advised, really. • Best nightcap: Oregon at Cal, 10:30 p.m. Revenge is a dish best served white-hot, Cal defender who should know better than to anger Chip "Chuckles" Kelly.

What is the basis for a blanket allowance of halachik compromises by organizations involved in kiruv, if any?
The purpose of this question is to see if there were responsa that give blanket allowances regarding kiruv (as I've heard there are).
What is the basis for a blanket allowance of halachik compromises by organizations involved in kiruv, if any?
The purpose of this question is to see if there were responsa that give blanket allowances regarding kiruv (as I've heard there are).
It appears that one of two things occurred when you wrote your question: either you are bothered or puzzled by the things kiruv organization do, or hopeful that they have some heter. I will say that the blanket heter that you are conceiving of does not exist. Though there can be found specific examples and certain "loopholes" to certain halakhic issues, the general reason for what kiruv organizations do are not solely based on those heterim. The general consensus among kiruv organizations is that in order to bring them closer certain compromises are made. It is a decision both on the part of the organization and on the part of the rabbis running it. Many a time do rabbis have to face such decisions. A classic one would be allowing a non-shomar shabbat congregant read from the torah or be the shliakh tsibbur. Classically halakha does not allow this (even if there MIGHT be way of reinterpreting halakha), but rabbis had to allow it in order to maintain their congregation, to be kind and fair, and to conform to the reality we exist in. all this said, there is a limit and a balance involved. Sometimes the balance can be lost, but the hope is that it will be achieved. If you want, I can find something that validates what I just said, but I have spoken to several kiruv organizations and heard many rabbis say this.
There really is NO heter to compromise on Halacha when doing Kiruv period.
Howerver when dealing with non-frum people there is a lot of thought that goes in to dealing with them and their Halachic issues.
For Example: lets say you have someone who lives far away from your Shul, and you know he is driving to Shul, you do not have to tell him not to drive (if you know he won't listen to you), unless he specifically asks you about it.
It is important to remember that we are trying to bring them closer to Torah, not Torah closer to them.
I am unaware of blanket heteirim but perhaps the discussion regarding inviting a non-orthodox person for shabbos knowing she will drive may shed some light here. Based on this post it would seem that:

I'm looking to learn Java, but I don't want to get a book that is going to tell me what an object is, how OOP works, etc. I know this from my existing ActionScript 3 work.
One idea is to look at all the areas Java covers, pick one that is of interest to me and delve into that. Is this a good idea?
Any other suggestions?

What are the more common abbreviations one might see printed before or after a person's name, and what do they mean? Please include honorifics (R'=Rabbi) as well as memorial - or prayerful - suffixes (eg., zt"l or shlit"a). I'm particularly interested in some of the lesser known ones that appear quite often, sometimes in connection with famous names and printed in the title page of Sefarim.
