Table Mountain set for New7Wonders of Nature inauguration
The first weekend of December promises to be an exciting one in Cape Town, as the city's festive lights are switched on and Table Mountain officially takes its place as one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
At around 19h00 on Sunday, December 2, Table Mountain will be inaugurated as a New7Wonder of Nature and anyone wishing to experience this should make their way to the Grand Parade outside City Hall. At about 20h00, the Cape Town Executive Mayor, Alderman Patricia de Lille, will add a burst of colour to the proceedings when she switches on Adderley Street's festive lights, a special moment on the city's annual calendar.
A massive float representing Table Mountain wil then make it's way around the Cape Town city centre, followed by a 2 000-strong street parade with various bands, dancers, giant puppets, stilt walkers and carnival characters adding to the spectacle.
Table Mountain was announced as a provisional New7Wonder of Nature on November 11, 2011, after millions of votes around the world were cast during a two-year period, after the top 28 sites were shortlisted.
It is possible to get from Cape Town International Airport to the top of Table Mountain in less than 40 minutes. A cable car from Table Mountain Cableway takes visitors to the top in just five minutes. A few hours of fairly tough hiking achieves the same result.
From the top there are unsurpassed views of the city and its environs, all the way across the sea to Robben Island – a great way for visitors to orientate themselves on arrival in Cape Town.
Table Mountain is home to more flora species than the entire British Isles. The majority are members of the fynbos family, which collectively make up one of the world's six plant kingdoms, the Cape Floral Kingdom.
A variety of refreshments can be found at the Table Mountain Café, certainly the most scenic spot at which to sample a good South African wine.

7 Clearly Fake News Stories That Fooled The Mainstream Media
In the olden days when shoes were a luxury and smallpox was a right of passage, men like William Randolph Hearst used their complete control over communication airwaves to tell the general populace whatever lie happened to be convenient (see marijuana is evil) or interesting (see below).
With the advent of the Internet, the situation has changed so that instead of powerful media moguls spreading bullshit, pretty much anybody can do it. After all, if the story is good enough, the mainstream media will report it, no matter how transparently retarded it is.
#7. Thirteen-Year-Old Uses His Dad's Credit Card to Buy Two Halo-Playing Hookers
The Story:
A boy in Texas stole his father's identity, obtained a credit card, and took his friends on a whirlwind-shopping spree of video games, electronic gadgets and two $1,000-an-hour hookers. It might not have been enough to hook the media if it weren't for an additional to-good-to-be-true detail: he didn't hire them for a night of wild sex. He only needed someone to play some Halo with him.
"Oh, so when you said 'joystick,' you meant... OK, I understand now."
The Police finally caught the boy and several of his friends before the hookers could show them five ways to please a man with a "Gravity Hammer." Given the adorable little "we only needed a fourth player" plot-twist, we can understand why someone might want to believe the story. But there's also the ending, which would make Michael Bay and the entire Church of Scientology call bullshit. Allegedly, the hookers weren't charged because the boys convinced them they were really a group of midgets from a traveling circus seeking some non-sexual companionship.
The Truth:
Internet marketer and writer Lyndon Anticliff dreamed up the whole story as part of a ploy to get some quick hits to his site, which according to Wired garnered him roughly 6,000 links. The coverage reached such staggering heights that he had to put a disclaimer on the story that the whole thing was intended to be a parody and satirical, two concepts that are completely lost on news outlets like Fox News.
The story appeared on the network's late night gabfest "Red Eye" where the network's judicial analyst, Jeanine Pirro, wondered why the hookers weren't thrown in a furnace occupied by hungry lions, while the show's four remaining male-panelists wondered why the police didn't bestow the boy with a knighthood.
#6. Congress Threatens to Leave D.C. Unless New Capitol is Built
The Story:
Sports teams have long threatened to leave towns and their ever-patient fans if their cities don't build them a new stadium, so why should Congress be any different? It could be a believable story under the right circumstances. Both usually work three to four days a week, getting paid a lot for doing little and demand the Earth, sky and moon for putting in so much hard work.
China's state-run newspaper, the Beijing Evening News, saw the story on the Internet and assumed it was true, rewrote a few paragraphs and printed it in their paper, all without bothering to check or confirm any of the sources mentioned in the story including then House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt.
The Truth:
You'd think a story like this would come from some bitter senatorial page, maybe as some kind of nerd "in joke" with a bunch of other senatorial pages, but you'd be wrong. This story came from The Onion.
When the Beijing paper found themselves with egg-fu-yung on their face, the paper's International Editor angrily declined to print a retraction in an interview with the Los Angeles Times saying, "How do you know whether or not we checked the source before we published the story? How can you prove it's not correct?" The Times then presumably opened up any other article The Onion had ever run and quietly directed the Editor's attention to it.
#5. Photographs Prove Man Flies on Lung-Powered Plane
The Story:
OK, so maybe Fox News and the Chinese government aren't bastions of journalistic integrity. Maybe you'd be more impressed by a story that fooled nearly every major American newspaper with the 1930s equivalent of a shitty photoshop?
Flight had been a dream possessed by man long before the Wright Brothers built and successfully flew their own airplane in an attempt to "get the fuck out of boring-as-shit Kitty Hawk."
"Yes! Eat my shit, Kitty Hawk!"
In 1934, a pilot in Germany completed something that sounded almost too good to be true. Reporters confirmed pilot, Erich Kocher, invented a flying device powered by the lungs of the person strapped to it and even included a photograph to prove it.
The Truth:
According to the Museum of Hoaxes , the International News Photo wire agency picked up the news and almost every major American newspaper printed the story and the photograph on their front page. The photo and the story turned out to be part of an elaborate hoax by a German magazine for their April Fools' Day issue.
The wire agency and the news outlets that fell for the joke failed to spot some glaring clues from the original story. The original spelling of Kocher's name was "Koycher," a German word meaning to wheeze or gasp. Sources also claimed the device turned the pilot's carbon dioxide into a fuel that powered a small motor, in laughable defiance of even Depression-era laws of physics. Oh, and Kocher appears to have an elongated snow shoe coming out of his ass.
#4. Study Finds That President George W. Bush has Lowest IQ Among Presidents of Last 50 Years
The Story:
It was hard for most mainstream media outlets not to jump on the "Beat up Bush" bandwagon, as over the years he demonstrated what seemed to be an extremely tenuous grasp of the economy, geopolitics, national security, emergency preparedness and fundamental rules of human communication.
So when an email circular claimed that ol' Dubya had the lowest IQ in presidential history, the typing fingers of every journalist not currently employed by Fox began twitching with anticipation.
Poor bastard. The Internet is just full of pictures of him looking retarded.
The story claimed the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton conducted a four-month study of President Bush's IQ levels and concluded he ranked at a solid 91 due to his lack of grasp over the English language, limited use of vocabulary and lack of scholarly achievements, unless you count being able to say the alphabet backwards after doing five straight keg stands.
Seriously. Photo research for this entry was a joke.
The Truth:
Proving that The Guardian newspaper and Doonesbury cartoonist, Gary Trudeau treat email forwards with the same level of skepticism as your mom, both picked up the story and ran with it. Had they bothered to check the source of the email, they would have traced it back to the reputable news source linkydinky.com, and the original press release, which claimed that Dr. Lovenstein "lives in a mobile home in Scranton, Pennsylvania running an Internet business called www.collegedegreesforsale.com.

If I didn't know any japanese, could I potentially communicate with Japanese people just by writing in traditional Chinese? I've heard and seen this in movies, how true is this?
Sign up

With well-educated young adults, it's likely that you can.
Japanese junior high and high school students learn kanbun (i.e. ancient Chinese poems and literature) at school in a very unique way with some special marks that compensate for the difference in grammar. Those with ambition of going to top colleges would study the subject very hard, so you might be able to communicate with it. But again, it's only for entrance exams so as they get older they might forget it.
Do you mean words or sentences?
For word, they can understand common words exist in both Chinese and Japanese and have the same meaning, of course. But there are still words that exist only in Chinese or Japanese, and words having different (or opposite) meaning in Chinese and Japanese. Like
For sentences or passages, no. Classic Chinese is taught in Japanese schools, but it is still hard to understand for general population. Only well educated people (in some special research fields) can understand classic Chinese well. The Chinese language we use today, even written Tradition Chinese scripts, is a lot different from classic Chinese, and maybe only taught in language schools ( I guess ). So it'll be nearly impossible for people who have not learned Chinese to understand.
In short, no.
Even for 漢字 that exist in both languages, not all are semantically equivalent.
Also consider the grammar.
I would say generally no except for similarly written characters within the 常用漢字.
Most Japanese can't even make out old Japanese texts in 漢文. In analogy, Kanbun is to modern Japanese what Anglosaxon is to modern English, whereas Chinese to Japanese would be like Finnish or Romanian to English.

While the holidays are supposed to be a time filled with joy for those who have lost loved ones coping with grief can be even more challenging during the holiday season.
One woman struggles to make Christmas a happy time, despite losing her 15-year-old son to Leukemia.
Kim Cunningham still fights back tears when she talks about Christmas without her son Robert.
"It's a very rocky road the first year. you're just kind of numb to the situation, you're just kind of still in denial. Christmas was difficult,"says Cunningham.
To deal with grief Kim holds onto their last Christmas together.
"He opened up the guitar hero boxes and he knew immediately he had a new Xbox,"says Cunningham.
"Holiday season can be especially difficult especially the first year because of that empty chair,"says Michelle Harrell, Social Worker at Hospice of Southern Kentucky.
"One family member's not there it kind of breaks up the happy .It destroys your world for awhile,"says Cunningham.
Harrell with the says there are some tips that may make the holidays a little easier.
"Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and surround yourself with those who love you and support you and not overextending yourself."
Kim was able to find comfort in the support of others.
"That physical part of being with other St. Jude's patients' families being with anyone who has lost a family member seems to help because you have that commonality,"says Cunningham.
She says she will always remember Robert's jolly personality.
"I have to go on and be there for Emily and my husband and my family,"says Cunningham.

The 5 Most Badass War Heroes Who Never Held a Weapon
#2. Yevgeny Khaldei, Combat Photographer Extraordinaire
Yevgeny Khaldei grew up in Ukraine during the Russian Revolution, and as a result saw more than his fair share of horrors. He discovered photography after building his own camera at age 12, and by age 18 he found work with the TASS news agency, where in 1939 he was attached to the Red Army as a combat photographer.
And occasional bear portrait artist.
On the outbreak of war with Germany in 1941, Khaldei was commissioned a lieutenant in the Red Army and sent to Murmansk, where he captured astonishing images like this:
Reindeer were the USSR's 497th line of defense, after Yakov Smirnoff.
He operated more or less in the frontlines for the entire war, snapping images of Russian marines at Sevastopol, the Black Sea Fleet, the Red Air Force and street fighting in Budapest. He soon found himself in Berlin, where he captured one of the most iconic images in history:
Well, this would have been good if it wasn't for the damn Soviet flag getting in the way.
In the course of the war, Khaldei lost almost his entire extended family to the Nazis (he was Jewish), so naturally he held a grudge that eventually came to a head at the Nuremberg Trials, where the Nazis were being tried for war crimes.
Khaldei attended the trials as a frontline photographer, and made every effort to make the rest of Hermann Goering's life as utterly unpleasant as possible. Goering hated him. After all, he was a Ukrainian Communist Jew who wore his Soviet Naval uniform everywhere, and that just ticked every one of Goering's prejudicial hate boxes. Khaldei would constantly hang around Goering and even had an American security officer club him with his baton, resulting in this image:
That's Goering in visible discomfort caused by Khaldei's mere presence.
After the war, Khaldei was constantly dicked over by the Soviets because of his Jewish ancestry. He lived much of the rest of his life in obscurity until the fall of Communism, when his work was finally given some well-deserved recognition.
#1. Francis L. Sampson, aka Father Badass
Father Francis L. Sampson was a Catholic priest who served in WWII as the chaplain for the famous 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division -- a U.S. Army paratrooper unit that wound up being one of the key groups to drop on Normandy on D-Day as part of Operation Overlord.
"What's that? Bagpipes? That's the kind of badassery I can subscribe to!"
He wasn't expected to participate in the fighting because naturally he didn't carry any form of weapon (with the exception of a crucifix, which only works on vampires), so he found a small frontline aid station and began ministering to the wounded. When American units in the area came under attack and had to retreat, the wounded who couldn't be moved had to be left behind. Sampson decided to stay with them, where, despite absurd amounts of danger, he continued to tend to the injured soldiers.
"I'm pretty sure God's got my back on this one."
Unfortunately for everyone, some of the German troops who took over the aid station were Waffen SS and they, being despicable cockholes at the best of times, decided to put Sampson up against a wall and shoot him.
Fortunately, a German Army non-commissioned officer saw what was going on and rescued Sampson, taking him to an intelligence post, ostensibly for interrogation. There he was found to be a priest and therefore not someone the Germans really needed to be threatened by. They let him go, at which point he ran away to join the Allies ... oh, no, wait. He calmly returned to the Nazi-occupied aid station, where he went back to administering to the wounded. The wounded, by the way, now included lots of Germans, to whom he ministered all the same.
"Jesus loves black leather trench coats, but he thoroughly rejects the rest of Nazi ideology."
After the aid station was retaken, Sampson heard of an American soldier whose three brothers had all been reported killed in the same week (although one was actually a POW and survived the war). Moving quickly, he instigated the search for the fourth brother, Fritz Niland. Sampson went out, found him and brought him back to Utah Beach, where he was evacuated back to the States. Does that story sound familiar? It should, because it served as the plot for Saving Private Ryan, where the part of Father Sampson was played by an entire squad of rangers.
"What, no stirring soundtrack? Go back and rescue me again."
Sampson went on to jump with the 101st in Holland later that year, where he was captured again and spent the rest of the war in captivity. Then he got out and ... went right back to war, jumping into Korea. When that was over and Vietnam came along, he was of course on board for that, too, taking the position of Chief of Chaplains.
What the hell was he going to do, stay home?

Sucker punch seems to mean "an unexpected punch" in slang. What is the origin of this term and why does sucker mean unexpected in sucker punch?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The sucker here has a much longer history than some would have you believe. Basically, sucker punch derives from one of the meanings of the word sucker (NOAD):
Therefore, a "sucker" would be easy to fool with a surprise punch. Etymonline dates the use of the term to 1836, and it appears to derive from the expression for a young mammal before it is weaned, i.e. one that is still sucking at its mother's teat.
Note that despite what Thursagen states, Etymonline also gives different dates for the term suckerpunch:
Its origin is in boxing,:
Here states the exact date:
Why? Being coined by Jack Dempsey who just called it a sucker punch for his reasons, I think it'd be hard to find out. Try asking Jack.

According to this Wikipedia article, the number of Representatives was limited to 435 in 1911 (bumped to 437 when Alaska and Hawaii were admitted and then bumped back to 435 four years later).
How (and why) was the decision made to stick with 435?
According to this Wikipedia article, the number of Representatives was limited to 435 in 1911 (bumped to 437 when Alaska and Hawaii were admitted and then bumped back to 435 four years later).
How (and why) was the decision made to stick with 435?
Pretty much correct Wladmir, this article shows the growth over time, but it was all due to the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929: http://www.thirty-thousand.org/pages/Why_435.htm
As noted here: http://artandhistory.house.gov/highlights.aspx?action=view&intID=200 this came down to a fight after the 1920 Census, where apportionment did not happen, so it was mandated to be at the current level which was 435 at the time.
At some point it had to stop, although it seems as if Congress could change it again if they wanted to, so long as the apportionment stay as constitutionally derived.
Just to expand on MichaelF's answer, the House began to debate the increasing size of Congress after the 1910 census. There was worry that the House was becoming unwieldy, but as Representative Edgar Crumpacker stated:
So there was concern on both sides of the apportionment issue. On the one hand there were too many representatives, and on the other hand there were not enough because they were now representing far more people than the 30,000 originally envisioned. The 1910 Apportionment Act had set the house at 433.
The people that were in favor of fixing the number were in part drawn from rural parts of the country that feared losing out on their proportion of power to the fastly urbanized parts of the country. Those in favor of fixing the number eventually won out so they passed the Apportionment Act of 1929 which fixed the number at 435.
If you are interested there is an excellent layout of the various methods that have been employed for reapportionment by Congresses throughout the years: Methods of Apportionment.
One factor I don't see mentioned, but which has to be seen as a limiting factor, is the size of the physical US Capitol building. It is a historic building, having been built in the early 19th Century and expanded to (mostly) its current state in the mid 19th. The House Chamber only has 448 permanent seats. I suppose you could start sitting extra representatives in the gallery, but that would remove that seating area from public use (which would be a crying shame). So expanding the number of representatives much past the current 435 would require an extensive remodeling, or worse yet, a larger chamber.
There is so much history in that Chamber that frankly, tearing it down to build a new one would be a crime against history.

I'm interested in learning how to get rid of the tripod in my pano picture.
I take all the pictures horizontally 360 degrees, then I take a shot looking straight up, then a shot straight down. The problem is, if your tripod is on a wood or tile floor (something with patterns), it is difficult to photoshop in the patterns so they all meet when converted to a quickitime movie in a sphere.
I'm shooting with a 10.5mm lens. I've thought of somehow putting the camera on a monopod, somehow supported from the side as close as to the position as is possible to where I had the tripod with my noda Ninja 5, then triggering the shot remotely. I've tried holding it out as far as I can (handheld) and still get my feet in the shot!
Since I'm new at this, I wanted to see what others have done to eliminate this problem. I'm sure I can't be the first one to experience this.
Thanks for your comments.

Using an Electronic Health Record for Health Information Exchange and Interoperability for Safety Net Providers
Using an Electronic Health Record for Health Information Exchange and Interoperability for Safety Net Providers
Event Date: Friday, April 26, 2013 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm EDT
This webinar will focus on how safety net providers can electronically exchange health information and achieve interoperability using electronic health records (EHRs). Exchanging electronic health information with other providers is a requirement under Stage 2 of Meaningful Use and has been shown to reduce costs and duplication of services, increase patient engagement, enhance patient safety, and improve healthcare quality. Presenters for this webinar will focus on the following topics:
- How providers can meet the health information exchange (HIE) objectives of Meaningful Use:
- How providers can access and utilize State and local HIE networks; and
- How providers can overcome barriers to achieve HIE and interoperability.
Participants can register here.
Previous HRSA Health IT and Quality Webinars can be accessed at the HRSA Health IT and Quality Webinar website.
Webinar time: EST
Technical Assistance Resources
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT has available several valuable resources on HIE and interoperability. These include:
- ONC HIE Resource website, which provides a variety of comprehensive resources about HIE and how it relates to Meaningful Use.
- ONC HIE Interoperability Training Modules, online training modules that help explain to providers and staff the process of meeting the Stage 2 Meaningful Use data exchange requirements.
Questions for presenters are welcome ahead of the event and may be emailed to [email protected]

To the editor:
A letter (Oct. 17, Leavenworth Times) exposes the names of school districts that are using our tax dollars on lawsuits to sue us, the people for whom they work. A law is needed to force school districts to get the taxpayers' permission before using our tax dollars to sue us!
Ignored by the writer but even more egregious is that the Kansas Supreme Court has already usurped legislative authority in deciding the 2005 lawsuit resulting in additional money sent to school districts to the point that some districts created a contingency fund for "emergencies." Given that education in government schools takes 2/3 of every tax dollar it is a sad report by the Kansas Policy Institute that by 2011 Kansas achievement scores had not improved.
Some districts (including Leavenworth) have continued to pay money to lawyers since 2005 to keep the lawsuit alive. The Gannon lawsuit seeks for the justices to again legislate from the bench. So enough already!
Our Supreme Court and our elected school boards are out of control. They must learn that our Kansas Constitution calls for the legislature to appropriate the money that Kansas spends – not seven people in black robes! It does NOT require a "suitable education." The requirement for education in Article 6, Section 6, is for the legislature to "make suitable provision for finance …".

The long-term nature of outsourcing biologics process development and GMP manufacturing over the course of clinical trial development can involve unforeseeable events that could be a source of conflict between the sponsor and the CMO. In this article, we present the CMO's perspective on various potential sources of sponsor–CMO conflicts, preventive actions to circumvent conflicts before they occur, and strategies for resolving conflicts as related to process transfer, development, and GMP manufacturing of biologics.
A successfully outsourced GMP manufacturing program is built upon a common goal and the management of numerous factors in the complex collaboration between the sponsor and contract manufacturing organization (CMO). The successful collaboration involves a synergistic exchange of each party's knowledge and experience, combining detailed understanding of the product's intrinsic properties, experience in process development and manufacturing, and GMP regulatory requirements for manufacturing, toxicology, and clinical trials. In this article, the authors will present potential sources of sponsor–CMO conflicts, preventive actions to circumvent conflicts before they occur, and strategies for resolving conflicts as related to process transfer and development, and GMP manufacturing of bulk biologics.Conflict prevention in CMO selection
At this stage, the CMO is responsible for accurately identifying the process steps that are incompatible with its existing facility or incompatible with the level of expertise required for the project. Doing so will ensure that the CMO avoids underperforming. For its part, the sponsor should have a total awareness of what is and is not known about the product to be developed and should be transparent about the state of development of the process, analytics, scales of previous runs, yields for each step, purpose of each process step, which process steps are problematic, and the behavior of the molecule during the process and under storage conditions. The desired quantities of material should be based on requirements for preclinical, clinical, future market needs, technical considerations, such as scale and process performance, characterization, and stability studies; the evaluation of these will require the intervention of both parties. Should incompatibilities exist, the two parties should brainstorm alternative approaches to meet the sponsor's expectations. This often has the added benefit of building trust between the two parties.

Let's say we have a random variable $X$ of which the distribution is unknown. Now there are these general rules like $E[X + Y] = E[X] + E[Y]$ etc. But what if we would define
$ \quad Y = \dfrac{1}{X} $
and we would be interested in the expected value $E[Y]$ and the variance $Var(Y) = E[(Y-\bar{Y})^2]$?
Now, I do realize that $X$ might be zero and therefore it is undefined. But what if we would assume $X \neq 0$? My quick solution was to assume $X$ being a log-normal random variable. But I would prefer something more general. Maybe a power series expansion is possible?

The Rambam in Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah says God has no joy or sadness. If so, why do we wait for moshiach? For G-d's glory? G-d does not need anything from us. How are we supposed to have intent to give nachas to G-d when he doesn't even care?

This excellent article by Rabbi Aron Moss explains why G-d created the world if He is perfect and lacks nothing. The crunch of it is that G-d does not need us, but he want us. The only thing G-d did not have before creating the world was a relationship with someone else (because there was nothing else but Him). Moshiach is the epitome of our relationship with G-d.
For further reading I would recommend this lengthier article by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman "What is the Purpose of Existence?", and this collection of articles on the topic of G-d's purpose in creating the world.

I'm a researcher and so far I've been accumulating hundreds of papers, articles... The point is that I want to organize them by choosing a consistent file naming convention. This is driving me crazy.
I explain better. Let us consider, e.g., an article whose title is "An Article with an Interesting Content", by Mister Writer, published in 1999. Since I would like the names to be quite short for readability, my first guess was something like this:
The problem with this is that I can not search among files by the articles titles. So I went for

Ending Birthright Citizenship Would Be Unconstitutional, Impractical, Expensive, Complicated and Would Not Stop Illegal Immigration
Anti-immigrant groups and legislators have persisted in their attempts to restrict or repeal birthright citizenship in State Houses and the U.S. Congress. Several bills have been introduced that would deny U.S. citizenship to children whose parents are in the U.S. illegally or on temporary visas. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution - the cornerstone of American civil rights - affirms that, with very few exceptions, all persons born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens, regardless of the immigration status of their parents. Following the Civil War and the emancipation of the slaves, the Fourteenth Amendment restated the longstanding principle of birthright citizenship, which had been temporarily erased by the Supreme Court's "Dred Scott" decision which denied birthright citizenship to the U.S.-born children of slaves. The Supreme Court has consistently upheld birthright citizenship over the years. The following fact sheet is adapted from the Immigration Policy Center's Made in America: Myths and Facts About Birthright Citizenship [1].
What is birthright citizenship?
- Birthright citizenship, or the principle of jus soli, means that any person born within the territory of the U.S is a citizen, regardless of the citizenship of one's parents. There are some exceptions, such as for the children of foreign diplomats and invading armies.
- Birthright citizenship is enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which states that, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
- The legislative history clearly shows that Congress clearly intended to bestow birthright citizenship on the U.S.-born children of immigrants. While some debated the wisdom of the amendment and opposed extending birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants of other races, no Senator disputed the meaning of the amendment with respect to immigrant children.
- The Fourteenth Amendment restated the principle of jus soli, which had been established by four centuries of Anglo-American jurisprudence. Birthright citizenship was temporarily erased by the Supreme Court for U.S.-born children whose parents were slaves of African descent – the infamous "Dred Scott" decision of 1857.
The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship several times.
- In 1898, the meaning of the citizenship clause was conclusively determined in Wong Kim Ark, when the Supreme Court rejected arguments that the son of a Chinese national – who was forbidden under the Chinese Exclusion Act from ever becoming U.S. citizens – should be deprived of citizenship because of his parents' status. Subsequent decisions have upheld this standard.
- The Supreme Court has also held in Plyler v. Doe that undocumented children are "innocent" because they "can affect neither their parents' conduct nor their own status"
Birthright citizenship is under attack by some people.
- Some Members of Congress have introduced bills to eliminate birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally or on temporary visas. The "Birthright Citizenship Act" (HR 1868), introduced by Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA) has 91 cosponsors. A bill by Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) would restrict birthright citizenship to the children "of a mother who is a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States."
- Some state legislators have introduced birthright citizenship bills, with the intention of advancing a national debate on the issue and pushing a legal challenge to the Supreme Court.
Eliminating birthright citizenship would impose a significant burden on all Americans who would no longer have an easy and inexpensive way to prove their citizenship.
- If simply being born in the U.S. and having a U.S. birth certificate were not proof of citizenship, Americans would have to navigate complex laws to prove their citizenship. Other than a birth certificate, most Americans do not have government documents that establish U.S. citizenship.
- Some Americans would have to prove they derive U.S. citizenship through one or both of their parents – a process that can be difficult for even experienced immigration attorneys. In some cases, whether one's parents were married or unmarried at the time of one's birth makes a difference in determining citizenship. In some cases the gender of the U.S. citizen parent can affect the determination.
- All American parents—not just immigrants—would have to prove the citizenship of their children through a cumbersome process.
Eliminating birthright citizenship would not solve the problem of unauthorized immigration.
- Since children born to undocumented immigrants would presumably be undocumented, the size of the undocumented populations would actually increase as a result of the new policy. While some children could acquire the citizenship of their parents, others would be left with no citizenship or nationality, leaving them stateless.
Eliminating birthright citizenship is a distraction that moves us away from fixing the real problems with our broken immigration system.
- Immigrants come to the U.S. to work, to reunite with their families, or to flee persecution. Denying birthright citizenship will not discourage unauthorized immigrants from coming to the U.S., and it will not encourage those already here to leave.
- Comprehensive immigration reforms that solve the root causes of undocumented immigration are necessary to resolve our very real immigration problems.

I have a model that passes a variable to a python script. The script uses that variable to query some directories and return a list of paths. What I want to know is: how can I then use each of those paths as the parameter in a subsequent operation? Is the bridge between python and ModelBuilder a one-way street?
I assume that you've added the Python script to the model by first adding the Python script to the toolbox, setting the script input through the Parameters tab.
In the Parameters tab you can add new parameters for the script output. To do this simply change:

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Jury selection got underway Monday for one of the nine people accused in a Topeka murder.
Daquan Wilkins is charged in a string of crimes from summer 2011, including a holdup attempt that ended with the shooting death of Natalie Gibson.
Prosecutors dismissed five charges against Wilkins last week. He still faces counts of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated battery and attempted burglary of a vehicle in another case.
He is the second defendant to stand trial. In the first, jurors failed to reach a verdict on the murder charges against Anceo Stovall.
A motions hearing is set for Tuesday on a motion from Stovall's attorney, Jonathan Phelps, for a new trial. Phelps alleges juror misconduct, saying, during the trial, an unidentified juror posted a comment about the trial on CJ online.
Stovall was convicted on one count, acquitted on another, and jurors couldn't agree on the other nine.
A retrial is set for October 15th.

The Liberty Middle School 8th grade boys had a romp in their home opener, continuing their unblemished season with a 52-6 dismantling of overmatched Medicine Lodge Thursday.
The Junior Greenbacks employed a pressure defense in the first quarter that resulted in numerous turnover baskets. The Junior Indians were having difficulty getting the ball across half court, let alone getting any kind of decent look at the basket. Meanwhile, LMS was scoring virtually at will both off its offense and off of turnovers. Result: 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and the outcome was for all practical purposes decided at that point.
Samson Kohman had 14 points, 12 of which came in the first quarter blitz. Noah Myers had 8 and Traik Peltier chipped in 6 to lead LMS scorers. Reserves got many minutes in the game as Liberty head coach Andy Kisner was able to find playing time for everyone on the bench, and nearly everyone scored.
Devon Stephens, Brett Barnard, Cade Perez, Abe Fernandez and Matt Huslig were on the floor for much of the game. Of their efforts, Coach Kisner said, "They have all really progressed. I look for them to be able to contribute in tougher games in the future."
The blowout may have had an additional benefit. "With our starters rested," Kisner observed, "we should be ready for our back to back games next Monday and Tuesday."

12 Children's Books That Help Explain Tragedies and Deathby Erin Dower
It can be incredibly difficult to explain tragedy and death to a young child, and to help them cope. Whether your family is facing a personal loss of a family member or friend, or is struggling with the news of a community or national tragedy, find some children's books that can help kids learn about coping with sad and scary news, death, and grief.
Read through the book on your own first to see if it is appropriate for your child and applies to your situation. Also, read and discuss just one book at a time with your child so that he has time to process these tough concepts. It helps to consult with your child's pediatrician or a mental health specialist, especially in cases of a close personal loss or intense or prolonged emotions.

Tess's Tree by Jess Brallier
Tess loved her tree dearly. She would swing on it and sit in its shade and catch its leaves in the fall. One day, after a storm blew off some large branches, her tree must be cut down and taken away. In the sad days that follow, Tess puts together a funeral for her tree, where old friends and admirers of it come together to share nice stories. The book is a gentle first introduction to the concepts of loss, death, and remembrance.

He has recorded five double-figure scoring games off the bench this season. Terrence Williams is third on the team in scoring at 8.7 points per game. Williams, who has started all ten games this season, has recorded four double-figure scoring games this season. Willie Clayton, who has recorded four straight double-figure scoring games, is fourth on the team in scoring at 8.5 points per game. Clayton is second on the team in rebounding at 6.5 boards per game. Pierria Henry is fifth on the team in scoring at 7.5 points per game. He leads the team in assists with 38 and steals with 25. Denzel Ingram, who has started the last seven games, is sixth on the team in scoring at 6.9 points per game. Ingram leads the team with 12 three-point field goals made. Darion Clark is seventh on the team in scoring at 6.6 points per game. Clark is third on the team in rebounding at 5.7 boards per game. JT Thompson has given the 49ers quality minutes off the bench this season. He averages 4.6 points per game. E. Victor Nickerson, who started three games this season, averages 4.4 points per game. Ivan Benkovic has knocked down at least one three point field goal in five of the last seven games.
This game will mark the second ever meeting between Charlotte and Kennesaw State. The 49ers defeated Kennesaw State, 74-63, in Halton Arena in their only other meeting, January 18, 2012. Mayfield led three 49ers in double-figures with 25 points. Kennesaw State is a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference. The 49ers are 21-17 all-time against Atlantic Sun Conference teams. The 49ers have previously played East Tennessee State, Kennesaw State, Jacksonville, Mercer and Stetson.

I have read in a few places that GR is renormalizable at one loop. (hep-th/9809169 for example, second sentence, although they don't seem to develop this point at all). Is this do to some hidden symmetry in the theory? Naively we need new counter terms at all orders, even one loop, in perturbation theory, right?
The counterterms at one loop would be $R^2$ operators, because loops are counted by powers of $G_N = 1/M_P^2$. The tree-level Lagrangian is the Einstein Hilbert action $M_P^2 R$, so the one-loop counterterms for logarithmic divergences should be terms that carry no powers of $M_P$ in front. Simply from dimensional analysis, then, these are $R^2$ terms, of which there are three linearly independent choices: $R^2$, $R_{\mu\nu}R^{\mu\nu}$, and $R_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}R^{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}$.
Two combinations can be eliminated by field redefinitions (of the form $g_{\mu\nu} \to g_{\mu\nu} + c_1 R g_{\mu\nu} + c_2 R_{\mu\nu}$), and the third is a total derivative and so has no local physical effect. (Namely, it's the Euler density $R_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}^2-4 R_{\mu\nu}^2+R^2$, also known as the Gauss-Bonnet term, whose integral is the Euler characteristic, a topological invariant). The upshot is that you have to go to $R^3$ terms before you get nontrivial counterterms, and these come from two-loop diagrams.
As far as I can find, the original source for the argument is this paper of 't Hooft and Veltman.
GR have nothing to do with renormalization. You mean: "one loop semiclasical quantum gravity". The way this is worked out is well explained in the classical book by Birell & Davis. What is done is to consider only closed graviton loops. The metric tensor is decomposed in a classical part + small fluctuation part that is quantized only to first loop level. The Field equations of GR are solved with the Einstein tensor equated to the average value the quantum mass-energy tensor of some quantum fields that are present. This average mass-energy tensor has to be regularized some way because is formally infinite. The book B&D contains many worked examples of this one loop semiclassical quantum gravity. The paper is calling SQG Einstein's gravity, but GR is a well-tested theory while SQG is not. You are right in principle there must be counter terms to all orders. The problem is that GR can't be quantized to all orders because is fundamentally not renormalizable. This means that the theory actually truncates quantum GR to all orders after one loop, and renormalize it to only this one loop level.

Are there any common practises for commenting the regular expressions: inline comments referring different part of RegEx or general comment for all expression?

In my view, a good practice is to concisely state in comments what the general idea of the regular expression is. This saves other developers (or sometimes yourself) the hassle of copy-pasting the regex in a parser like RegExr, only to understand what it does.
Typically, I will write a regex and not explain the individual pieces of the regex, but rather what it's purpose is. That is that what and why. This is a bit like asking "What should my comments look like?" to which one would say "Don't write what the code is doing, write why the code is doing what it does"
Unless you are trying to teach someone about regexes via comments in code, I don't think explaining what each individual piece will do. When working with other programmers, you can safely assume that one would know something as global regular expressions.
I guess it really depends on how you're putting the regex together. Generally speaking I think it would be a bad idea to put comments within the actual regex string itself (not possible in most scenarios, as far as I know). If you really need to comment specific portions of a regular expression (are you trying to teach someone?), then break each chunk into separate strings on their own lines, and comment each line using the normal commenting process for your programming language. Otherwise, pleinolijf's answer is pretty good.
This is somewhat a language specific answer, but no language is stated in the question.
The book "Dive Into Python" suggests implementing comments using Verbose Regular Expressions:
Source and further details here
This method has a slight disadvantage that the caller must know that the pattern is written in a verbose format and call it accordingly.
I usually define a string constant whose name describes the overall purpose of the regular expression.
For example:
You could add a comment above this constant to give it a description, but usually the constant name itself should be enough.
Comments should add useful information that is not obvious from the code.
There are few applications that need every last cycle, if you are pattern matching massive data sets then maybe there is a better way, maybe not, but for most things the extra execution time is not that big a deal.
And remember the next person to come across your code and fix a bug might be you in six months time and there is no way you are going to remember what it was supposed to do.
Extract the RegEx into a separate class into a with a meaningful name. Then I'd document the code with automated tests.
This will ensure
Naturally, your class may host several regex's.

2007: Seven Things We Should Pretend Never Happened
#6. Hollywood Divorcing Creativity, Getting Custody of the Movie Going Public
The tension between the business and the art of movie making has been around since the first movie ever (Star Wars, as far as we know). Hollywood's attitude has always seemed to be "this is business, not Shakespeare ... unless we're remaking Romeo and Juliet or Othello, in which case we're gonna need a lot of motherfucking guns."
But like an unhappily married couple staying together for the kids, Hollywood and Creativity had always at least pretended to get along. Hollywood threw Creativity a party every year, where vaguely arty films got little golden statues. In turn, she pretended she didn't mind when creative projects got passed over for Big Momma's House 2.
But in 2007, Hollywood stopped even pretending to listen to Creativity. Creativity talked to her lawyer and eventually filed papers. For the long and unhappy marriage between Hollywood and Creativity, 2007 was when, as marriage counselors say, shit got real.
Hollywood Releases 17 Big Budget Sequels
As they say in statistics, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a trend, and 17-ice isn't even a fucking word because things usually don't happen that many times. Certainly, there'd been big budget sequels in other years, but those years had big budget other stuff, too. In 2007, Hollywood refused to blast its money cannon at anything that didn't have a number at the end of the title (as opposed to CRACKED, who won't publish anything that doesn't have a number at the start of the title).
In Hollywood, producing a big budget sequel is like getting an anti-Oscar. Yeah, you just made a boat load of money, but you had to put your name at the end of a movie that's log line might as well be, "Hey, remember that last movie? Like that but with different extras!" But for whatever reason, restraint and shame went out the window in 2007, including a summer that saw the release of the third installments of Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider- Man, Ocean's Eleven, Rush Hour and Bourne.
It was probably around this time that writers started making jokes like, "Man, with all these sequels, who needs writers?" Of course, instead of laughing, studio bosses steepled their fingers together and muttered, "Yes, yes, who needs writers. Who needs writers indeed."
The Writers Go on Strike
The creative folks decided they couldn't take this shit sitting down. So they did what any outraged but ultimately powerless people do and walked around in the streets with witty picket signs. Signs probably a little wittier than typical picket signs, in fact.
Of course, taking any shit not sitting down often ends with a mess on the floor, and this time was no different. In response to a strike that had most of the movie going public at least a little nervous, Hollywood shrugged. Fans were outraged, unable to believe the hubris of Hollywood's "Who needs writers?" stance. Apparently, we were unaware that ...
The Movie Goers Side With Hollywood
... six of the seven most successful movies this year were sequels. The seventh in that lot, the shining beacon of creativity, was based on a line of toys. Can you blame Hollywood for deciding that writers are overrated when the pure spectacle of Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End and Transformers were the top three films at the box office? When the next four top earners were all either the third or fourth installments of a series?
The gap between critical and public opinion had never been wider. The year started with the break-out success of Wild Hogs, Norbit and Ghost Rider, all certified Rotten by over 50 percent of America's top critics, Norbit being described with words like "vile" and "cancerous" by most. Meanwhile, critically lauded movies like In the Valley of Elah and Zodiac went over like a wet fart in a sauna.
Combine these two trends and you might start to understand why Hollywood smugly scoffed at the writer's strike. Sure, we fumed over the image of a fat cat studio head thinking he can go it alone with shiny special effects and focus group testing, probably lighting a cigar with a burning baby kitten. But, if the movie going public would take a long look in the mirror, we'd see Wild Hogs and Norbit staring back at us.
Can we not just erase them from the annals of cinema history? Along with all records of ...

Did you notice Google is removing badges from their news section?
I thought it was a neat feature to their news section, it showed which news articles I focused most on and how my reading compared with other users. It's almost like the Xbox 360 or Apple's game center achievements, except it encouraged better time spent catching up on news stories. Anyone else bothered by this change?

I need to send some sensitive information to a client. I thought I would email a password protected zip file I created using Windows XP and then call them with the password. Presuming I pick a good password, how secure is this approach? Specifically, how difficult is it to decrypt a password protected zip file?
migrated from serverfault.com Jul 19 '11 at 1:41
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
When creating a password-protected Zip file (with the "compressed folder" utility integrated in the OS), Windows XP uses the "standard" encryption algorithm for Zip files. This is a homemade stream cipher, and it is weak. With 13 bytes of known plaintext, the complexity of the attack is about 238 operations, which is doable in a few hours on a PC. 13 bytes are relatively easy to obtain (e.g. if one of the files in the archive is an image, it will probably be uncompressed and begin with a known header). The result has even been improved, notably because the files in an archive are encrypted separately but without proper key diversification. Some years ago (quite a few now, tempus fugit), I have seen a password cracking software by Ivan Golubev which put this science to good use, and could crack Zip encryption in an hour.
The attack on Zip encryption is actually:
Now, if you use a tool which supports the newer, AES-based encryption, things will look better, provided that the format and implementation were not botched, and the password has sufficient entropy. However, such Zip files will not be opened by the stock WinXP explorer.
If an external tool is required, you might as well rely on a tool which has been thoroughly analyzed for security, both in the format specification and the implementation; in other words, as @D.W. suggests: GnuPG.
As for self-decrypting archives, they are all wrong, since they rely on the user doing exactly what should never be done, i.e. launching an executable which he received by email. If he does open a self-decrypting archive you send him, then he will just, by this action, demonstrate that he is vulnerable to the myriad of virus/worms/whatevers which roam the wild Internet, and he is probably already infected with various malware, including keyloggers.
Nevertheless, there is a way, in your specific situation, to make a self-decrypting archive reasonable. It still needs your client to install a new piece of software, but at least it is straight from Microsoft: the File Checksum Integrity Verifier -- a pompous name for a tool which computes file hashes. Send the self-decrypting archive to your client, and have him save it as a file (without executing it, of course). Then, have him run FCIV on it, to get the SHA-1 hash of the file. Do the same on your side. Finally, compare the two hashes by phone (it is not hard to dictate 40 hexadecimal characters). If the two hashes match, then your client will know that the file was not modified during the transfer, and he will be able to execute it with confidence.
(That is, if your client trusts you, and trusts that your machine is not clock full with virus which could have infected the archive on its way out.)
For sensitive data, I'd be a little reluctant to use password-protected ZIP or 7ZIP archives. The current versions of encryption they use has not been well-studied or vetted by independent researchers. Older versions of the software had security weaknesses, which is mild cause for concern. The newer versions might be OK, but since they haven't been independently reviewed, I'm reluctant to place a lot of trust in them. Ideally, something like GPG or PGP is better.
Please be warned that encrypting with a password tends to be weak. Most people choose passwords that do not have enough entropy to be secure against offline search (e.g., dictionary attack, exhaustive search). Moreover, long and strong passwords are inconvenient to use, providing a further disincentive against them.
I recommend that you avoid sending people self-extracting .exe files. That is a security risk. When you send people self-extracting .exe files, you are training them to receive a .exe attachment by email and run it. That is very dangerous practice, from a security perspective. I think the fact that ZIP and 7ZIP encourage this practice is a sign of disregard for security.
If you must use password-based encryption, I recommend: Use GPG or PGP (e.g.,
This is probably going to be the easiest option for your client to use, that also provides strong protection.
If you want extra security, store the encrypted data on a CD or DVD, and then send the CD or DVD by Fedex (rather than by email). That way, you get two layers of security: someone can steal the data only if they can get access to the CD or DVD, and if they have the password to decrypt it.
If your clients have trouble using PGP or GPG, you could use a recent version of ZIP or 7ZIP's password encryption. In that case, I would avoid a self-extracting .exe file and I would probably be more inclined to send the encrypted data through the mail (on a CD or DVD) rather than over the Internet.
Alternatively: If your client is technically savvy and you have frequent communications with them, another option is to have them use GPG or PGP to generate a random public keypair, send you their public key, and then you can encrypt data under their public key. This will provide stronger security, if they know how to use GPG or PGP. However, it is less intuitive and so probably not feasible for sending a piece of data to an average client.
It isn't that hard to decrypt a password protected ZIP file. There's plenty of apps out there to either figure out the password or just remove the password.
Odds are that no one will be intercepting the email between you and them. Public email servers have a massive amount of data flowing between them. Putting a password on the email is probably good enough. If you need something more secure then look at encrypting the email that the attachment is sent through, or post the file to a secure drop location like drop box (yes I'm aware of the issue they had a couple weeks ago) and send them the link.
I have used password protected zip files as an ad-hoc encryption mechanism (although I prefer to use GPG when possible). Much is made of password recovery for zip files, but as long as you are using a current version, the only practical recovery mechansim is brute force. I believe both 7-zip and Winzip both support AES-256. If you client already has Winzip, I would use that (just make sure you use AES and not "Legacy" encryption).
The most important aspect of using this is your password (I would recommend a passphrase, at least 16 characters, throw in some special characters). The passphrase has the advantage that brute force is difficult, and you can exchange it over the phone with relative ease.
This is not a perfect mechanism by any means, but it could be good enough for your purposes (depending on the sensitivity of data).
With dual GTX 295s a 4-char password can be recovered in under an hour.

An insurance marketing company is receiving $5 million in incentives to move one mile from Missouri across the border to Kansas.
Kansas economic officials say SelectQuote Senior Insurance Services' move from Kansas City to Leawood, Kan., is good for the state. SelectQuote plans to consolidate its local call center operations.
But a Kansas City civic leader says it's another example of business poaching that is costing Missouri and Kansas millions of dollars in lost tax revenue, which hurts the Kansas City metro area on both sides of the state line.
SelectQuote officials say about 150 employees with an average salary of $55,000 will be consolidated at the new office. The Kansas City Star reports the incentive calls for 290 new full-time jobs within five years.

A man who's accused of punching an officer at the county jail over the weekend refused to appear in court Wednesday morning. And he's now being held without bond until he agrees to appear in court, a Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
The alleged battery occurred Sunday. The 44-year-old suspect had been arrested by the Leavenworth Police Department for allegations of domestic battery, criminal damage to property, obstruction, criminal trespass and battery of law enforcement of an officer.
Undersheriff Ron Cranor said the suspect was brought to the Leavenworth County Jail at 8:08 p.m. Sunday. He allegedly punched a sergeant at the jail at 9:55 p.m. the same day.
The sergeant was not injured, according to the undersheriff.
"He just got popped by the inmate," Cranor said.
The suspect now could face a charge of battery of a law enforcement officer for the incident at the jail.
He refused to make the court appearance Wednesday morning even though he was in custody, according to Cranor.
The suspect's name is being withheld until confirmation of formal charges in Leavenworth County District Court.

The RFC 2818 does not say anything about this topic.
Yes, it can be issued.
Luckily the common browsers do not accept wildcard certificates for TLDs.
IE even rejects *.co.uk, but I am pretty sure the list is not complete.
In the list of fake certificates issued by DigiNotar, there is "*.*.com". This is obviously an attempt to get around the restriction.
For the issuing part, everything can be put in a certificate. That a name is "wildcard" has no special significance for the CA. The CA puts a string as
What matters is what SSL clients will accept as a "valid certificate", i.e. a certificate including a name which "matches" the intended server name (the one included in the URL). This is nominally specified in RFC 2818, section 3.1, and it allows many kinds of wildcard names, including things like "
So browser vendors made their own schemes and restrictions. Much later, a new RFC (6125, from March 2011) was published, with section 6.4.3 dedicated to the processing of wildcard names in certificates. What RFC 6125 describes is more in tune with the reality, and is a "proposed standard", so there is at least some will, at some level, to make it happen. However, nothing in RFC 6125 mandates rejection of
I have tested this on common browsers, the three big ones (on windows anyways) don't accept this. What I haven't done is try it on the mobile platforms which imo are the real target of this attack. Since iOS doesn't have a way to revoke certificates there are millions of i-devices out there that are vulnerable until apple releases a patch, and they apply it.
Obvious places to try this with high impact: Activesync to exchange, ssl vpn clients, safari on idevices, stock browser on androids.
