6 Hilarious Video Game Glitches You Have to See to Believe
When a military computer makes an error, it can be catastrophic. When your Internet browser makes an error, it's fucking annoying. But when a video game makes an error ... well, that's a completely different situation. Because let's face it, the hilarious results can be even better than the game the developers were trying to create.
#6. Dragon's Dogma -- The Surprise Gay Ending
Dragon's Dogma, Capcom's recent RPG about dragons and shit, proved that combining video games and romance isn't always a good idea ... especially if the developers don't know what romance actually entails. What started as a perfectly innocent attempt to bring love into the game ended with thousands of players helplessly seeing their characters molested near a campfire.
gamefaqs.com, gamespot.com
We play games to get away from the things that happen to us in normal life, Capcom.
Dragon's Dogma had the rare ability of allowing you to "romance" any character in the game by doing things like giving them gifts or drawing your sword in front of them (in real life, that usually gets you arrested). However, due to a glitch in the system, the only requirement for raising someone's "romance level" was talking to them -- meaning the game would unilaterally decide that whoever you talked to the most must be your lover, whether you liked it or not. So, upon reaching the crucial part of the game where you have to fight a dragon that has kidnapped your beloved, many players were surprised to find out that their beloved was ... the guy who runs the inn. Or the old shopkeeper. Or even the mustachioed midget in the jester suit you kept talking to because you were stoned and his voice seemed amusing.
Play this for full effect.
Or at least that's what you told yourself at the time.
Naturally, after you rescue them from the dragon, that person you talked to a bunch of times wants to give you a reward. A sexual reward. This leads to the aforementioned molestation by firelight.
"Hey man, what's going on?"
"Um, sure, you can sit here. What are you, uh ..."
"Hey! Get off m- DEAR GOD, IT'S HUGE."
And all through that, the players could do nothing to stop what was happening to their character, while simultaneously refusing to look away in case some vital game-related information was dropped in the middle of the lovemaking session. Bear in mind that at no point does the game indicate that there's a romance blossoming between you and a complete stranger -- even players who actively pursued romances with different characters ended up with random dudes. At the end of the game, there's another romantic scene where your character wakes up on a beach and your unwitting lover runs to your arms.
And then you have erotic dreams about his face for a month.
So kudos to Capcom for making same-sex relationships possible, and "ewww" for making them non-consensual.
#5. Major League Baseball 2K6 -- The Outfielder Who Takes to the Sky
2K Sports
Major League Baseball 2K6 did many things wrong, starting with shortening the wrong part of its title. On one hand, this was the first game to add many elements that made it more like real baseball, like arguing managers, audience members catching the ball, and concession stands that sell frozen piss instead of beer (presumably). On the other hand, we're pretty sure we've never seen a real baseball player just friggin' shoot up 200 feet into the air to catch a ball:
OK, this steroids situation is getting ridiculous.
Yeah, either Clark Kent changed careers and is taking his usual lax approach at hiding his secret identity (watch as he slowly floats down to the ground after catching the ball, hoping no one noticed what he just did), or this shitty turd of a game is broken. We're leaning toward the latter possibility. Apparently, this happens when the computer thinks the outfielder should be able to catch the ball while common sense says he shouldn't, so the computer kindly tells common sense to go fuck itself for a little while.
Common sense learned to stay out of Boston a long time ago.
The uploader of the video actually says the glitch happened six times in a single game. It's like one team has the grossly unfair advantage of having invisible angels who carry the players up in the air to help them win -- all that's missing is Tony Danza and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt and this is a '90s Disney sports/fantasy movie (of the non-dog-protagonist variety). But, you know, this is an old game. Surely these kinks have been ironed out in the more recent vers-
But, hey, at least they improved the grass graphics.
#4. Assassin's Creed III -- You Get Brutally Killed During Cutscene Conversations
The Assassin's Creed series follows Desmond Miles as he's forced to relive the lives of his assassin ancestors as they go around stabbing other people's ancestors. Or at least that's how it used to be. Assassin's Creed III, if all the glitches are to be believed, is about Desmond reliving the genetic memories of his distant grandpa constantly jacking off in public places and doing nothing while he gets murdered by guards or eaten by wolves.
The Game Is Over
"He died doing what he loved ... leaking bodily fluids everywhere."
The glitch goes like this: Sometimes you'll see a cutscene coming and do what we all do on those occasions, which is drop your controller and dig deep into your bag of Cheetos. However, before you can even lick the delicious orange dust off your fingers, you'll see an enemy approaching you ...
"He then said he'd clean the barn, but now that's obviously not happ-"
... only to start hacking away at you before the cutscene is over. See, Assassin's Creed III's cutscenes aren't just movies -- they occur in real time, meaning nearby characters will behave as they would in the normal game. Unfortunately, this also applies to hostile characters, like the gentleman with the sword over here.
"... and it's just so typical of him. The moment I need-"
If you don't press the button to skip the scene quickly enough, you'll end up getting killed because your Mohawk assassin is too polite to break off his conversation. Not that the grieving widow you were talking to will particularly miss you -- she'll simply keep having a conversation with thin air once you've fallen down.
"Thanks, you're such a good listener."
By the way, this can also happen with wolves. Normally you could escape a wolf with a quick time event, but if attacked while talking to another person, Connor Miles just takes it like the world's most misguided animal rights activist. And the woman keeps on talking like it's nothing:
"... and she's my sister, so it's not like I can just cut her off. Anyway, then she-"
The worst part is that the wolf in the second scenario is actually spawned by talking to that woman after you rescue somebody. That'll teach you to help people.

5 Surprising Uses for Botox
Much more than simply a wrinkle freezer, these days, the injectable is being used for a bunch of shocking things. (Breast lift, anyone?)
The psychological effects of losing one's hair are profound and the public's demand for a solution has driven pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies to experiment with all sorts of out of the box thinking in the hopes of landing the big kahuna -- the "cure" for baldness.
Dr. Simon Ourian, a Los Angeles-based cosmetic surgeon, thinks that he's stumbled on to what could be the next big hair loss hope: Botox. Following a series of chemotherapy, his mother began to get terrible headaches. Her dutiful son injected her scalp with the toxin to help alleviate the pain and, what do you know, she began to re-grow hair that she'd lost during her cancer treatments.
In the years since his accidental discovery, Dr. Ourian has incorporated his combination of Botox and special hair-growth vitamins into the menu of services offered at his Beverly Hills clinic. What's generated a lot of excitement over Botox as a baldness treatment is the assertion that it can help actually re-grow hair -- a claim that none of the leading remedies like Rogaine and Propecia, which solely prevent further hair loss, can make.
Details: The doctor assesses (and charges) patients on a case by case basis at his Beverly Hills Epione cosmetic medical center.
Scoop: Despite the positive results thus far, Dr. Ourian's website is quick to point out that, "his findings are anecdotal and that proper clinical trials still need to be done."

I just want to make clear that Botox is 100% natural. Natural is not necessarily good for you as this poison it the most fatal we have on earth. Actually out of the 10 most deadly poisons there are, 8 come from mother nature herself.

The problem with Botox is that it fades & you keep having to get more injections. I have heard that people can build an immunity to it so they eventually have to start getting bigger injections more frequently.

Anticipation for a new Tennessee lottery is high.
Brandon Eidson, lottery player says, "Why drive 40 or 50 miles when you can go to the store right across the street?"
But in Kentucky lottery retailers could lose big time. Estimates show once the Tennessee Lottery is fully operational the Kentucky Lottery could see a sales decrease between $70-$75 million a year.
Eidson says, "I think it will change quite a bit. More money's gonna stay in the state of Tennessee."
But Keith Reecer says he doesn't think it will hurt his store on the Tennessee/Kentucky border
Keith Reecer, Kentucky lottery retailer, says, "We really don't know what to expect yet. Tomorrow's the first day. They've only got scratch-offs and that's all they're gonna have for two or three months, so I don't look at it to effect me much. "
Tennessee retailers are stocking the shelves today in hopes of strong sales tomorrow
The Stop N' Go store in Portland, TN has high hopes.
Burgandy Harper, a Tennessee lottery retailer, says, "They're just starting scratch offs tomorrow. And I guess they're thinking quite a few are gonna get sold, like millions."
They've also had to do a lot to get prepared.
Harper says, "We had to go to a three-hour seminar, and we just got our scratch-offs in today. So we have to rearrange the store a little bit."
Still, Keith Reecer says the Tennessee Lottery isn't a threat.
Reecer says, "You know sometimes competition is good for business, so it could make it better."
The only true test is time.

Safety net clinics try a high-tech model
|Sadia Noor, a Somali interpreter, left, helps patient Fartun Amiir, center, talk to PharmD Eric Hung at People's Center Clinic, March 29, 2013, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Elizabeth Flores/Minneapolis Star Tribune/MCT)
"I used to go to the emergency room" for medical care, Tate said. But now, after 14 years as a patient at the Minneapolis clinic, she knows her doctor personally - and much of the staff as well.
"The people at the front desk know you," said Tate, now a member of the clinic's board of directors. "You know you can get care if you need it."
That's exactly the sort of bond that state health officials hope to build on as they embark on an experiment between community clinics like Tate's and the state of Minnesota to reform medical care for thousands of underprivileged patients.
An alliance of 10 community clinics has contracted with the state in an unusual experiment that aims to improve health care and reduce costs for nearly 22,000 people on Medical Assistance, the state's Medicaid program. The 10 clinics have banded together to form an "accountable care organization," or ACO, a medical care delivery system that rewards doctors and hospitals for controlling costs and boosting quality.
ACOs were adopted by the 2010 Affordable Care Act as a model in which hospitals and clinics link together to give patients coordinated medical care and share whatever money they manage to save. Now, more than 40 percent of Americans live in areas served by at least one ACO, according to a recent analysis by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman.
"Successful ACOs won't just siphon patients away from traditional providers," the report said. "They will change the rules of the game."
The Minnesota clinics, members of the Federally Qualified Health Center Urban Health Network, or FUHN, represent one of the first times that safety-net clinics have tried to form an ACO. Under a three-year contract with Minnesota, the clinics will keep half the money they save Medical Assistance, with half returned to the state.
While ACOs have spread steadily among conventional clinic and hospital groups, the Minnesota experiment is one of the first to apply the model to an unusually disadvantaged patient population.
A large share of patients at community clinics are poor, many are immigrants or non-English speakers, and some are homeless. They have higher rates of chronic illnesses such as asthma and diabetes than the general population, and often wind up seeking treatment at overextended, high-cost hospital emergency rooms because they lack regular preventive care.
Under the Minnesota experiment, "those at a higher risk now have a care team who works with each patient, to keep them out of the emergency room," said Peggy Metzer, CEO of People's Center Health Services.
"These clinics have very close relationships with their patients," said Jonathan Lips, an attorney at Halleland Habicht who advised the clinics during negotiations with the state. "They have an excellent ability to engage their patients, and this will put to the test the effectiveness of data-driven primary care."
Cedar Riverside Clinic had 35,000 patient visits last year. More than 58 percent of its patients were non-English speakers, 94 percent live in households below the federal poverty line, and about 68 percent were Medicaid eligible, Metzer said. Like the coalition's other health centers, Metzer's clinic is mandated to give people care when needed and must be accessible to everyone.
"It's really a holistic approach to care," said Dr. Jaeson Fournier, chairman of FUHN and CEO of West Side Community Health Services in St. Paul.
Fournier said the project will also give the 10 clinics access to greater shared medical information to better understand how patients are being treated, the resources they use and the challenges they face.
To help chart those patterns, the clinics have partnered with Optum, an Eden Prairie-based health care services and technology company, which is providing the ACO with tools to analyze patient history and risk factors and compile performance reports for each clinic.
"This has a lot of potential to benefit patients going to the safety-net clinics," said Julie Sonier, senior research fellow at the University of Minnesota. The project should "reduce the fragmentation" of health care in Minnesota, she said.
Or as Tate put it simply: "We all do better when we're all doing better."

1947 Chevy 3100 Thriftmaster Pickup - Project Shop TruckWritten by on December 1, 2009 Contributors: Brian Brennan Bed Time For Our Parts Hauler
Throughout the history of SRM, we've built just about everything under the sun; from roadsters to coupes to sedans to phaetons, hell we've even built a school bus (see SRM August 1993), but classic trucks never seemed to get the same amount of attention. A good part of that could be due to the fact that we share offices with the two largest truck books on the market: Classic Trucks and Custom Classic Trucks. But as we mentioned last month, there isn't a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool hot rodder out there who couldn't benefit from having a truck at their disposal. And it should go without saying that if you were to ask a hot rodder what kind of shop truck they'd like to have, the answer would not be a lifted Toyota Tacoma. No, we're thinking it'd be something more akin to an early '50s pickup with the perfect lowered stance and a nice set of wheels. Adorn the door with a graphic declaring the shop name and you've got yourself one helluva neat little parts hauler. Bolt on a pushbar for the dry lake or dragstrip and all of a sudden you just added a sport factor to the utilitarian vehicle for a most traditional SUV! That was our thinking anyway when we approached Josh Shaw and had him whip up a sketch for our latest project: a '47 Chevy 3100 Thriftmaster pickup.
Last month, we ran through the basics of the Advance Design-era pickups and what we had in store for our very own project. This month, we're jumping right in, following along as the crew at Hot Rod's by Dean begins sorting out the bed parts from MAR-K (made in Oklahoma City), from basic assembly of the panels to form the actual structure to installing a bed wood kit. We'll cover installing their aluminum bed strips with hidden fasteners as well as a Chevs of the 40's fuel filler concealment kit that allows you to hide the fuel filler neck under the bed. A MAR-K smooth tailgate will also get installed and we'll point out a couple of features that they've incorporated into that design that alleviates the need for those pesky tailgate chains. So stay tuned as our Project Shop Truck gets under way!
A few notes on wood finishes
When it comes to finishing the bed wood, there are two important reasons as to why: to protect it and to decorate it. Lacking finish, the wood will discolor and deteriorate quickly when exposed to sunlight and adverse weather conditions. Alternatively, if a quality finish is applied and maintained, the wood will remain in great shape indefinitely. What finish to use really comes down to personal preference and what kind of climate the truck is going to spend the majority of its days in, but regardless it should be either an oil finish, satin or glossy varnish, or paint. Paint will prevent damage from sunlight and weather and will protect the wood from mechanical damage (scratches and dents). Spar varnish with "ultraviolet inhibitors" will also build up a protective film to protect the wood and the natural wood grain will show through. An oil finish for outdoor use is easy to apply and has a pleasing "fine furniture" appearance but does not protect from mechanical or moisture damage and must be refinished frequently.
How to square up your bed once assembled
Once the four sections of the bed are assembled, you need to make sure the bed is square. The first thing to do is to make sure the bed sides at the rear are square to the rear sill and that the complete bed is sitting on a level surface. If one side is leaning inward and the other side is leaning outward a like amount, the dimensions will be the same both top and bottom, but the bed will not measure square. You can check that with a carpenter square. Sometimes it helps to install the tailgate to keep the sides vertical during the assembly. That way they can't shift very far if you have to loosen the rear sill mounting bolts and they can be adjusted back to square after the bed is on the truck.
If your bed is still out of square 1/2 inch or less, it should be readily shifted to square by loosening all the bolts that are holding it together and pushing the long dimension to make it smaller, and the small dimension will get larger a like amount. It may require holding it in the square position while a helper tightens all the bolts. If you are holding it square when you tighten the bolts, it may still move slightly when you release it. A bed is slightly flexible before it is on the frame and before the wood is installed and tightened. When you install the wood and bed strips, be sure to again hold it square while tightening all the bed strip bolts. The truck frame will keep it square when you install it on your truck.

We'll be using stainless fasteners from Doc's Kustom throughout the truck build. We opted to go with the polished hex set.The first step in assembling the MAR-K bed is to attach the front bed panel to each side panel. A series of holes runs parallel to the front stake pocket and mates the two panels.The front cross sill fits between the bed sides, under the angle strip, and attaches to the front bed panel.The rear cross sill will bring the three sides together to form the bed. This cross sill is longer than the front cross sill and mounts to the stake pockets themselves.Here's the finished MAR-K bed assembly in basic form with the front and rear cross sill attached to the bedsides and front bed panel.
...while the other cross sills are aligned. Typically, the bed is fastened to the chassis via carriage bolts that run through the bed wood, cross sills, wood blocks, pads, and chassis mounting points. Since we're going to run smooth bed strips, we opted to attach the bed to the chassis directly off the cross sills, below the bed wood surface, so as to not have the carriage bolts and corresponding offset washers visible in the bed.Here's an example of a stock Chevy bed with all the hardware visible. Note the offset washers that fasten the bed to the chassis through the bed wood.Short bed GM Stepside trucks from 1947-1951 used a nine-board bed design with four pairs of varying width boards converging on a widest, center board.The MAR-K aluminum bed strips hide the fasteners underneath the strip using special bolts that slide in a groove machined on the underside of the strip.
Once installed, the bed floor is completely devoid of any unsightly hardware, save for the bed side angle strips.The next step is to install the tailgate. One tailgate hinge is attached to either bed stake pocket. The tailgate is then slid into place onto the installed hinge, while another hinge is slid onto the opposite side of the tailgate. Raising the tailgate, the hinge is then attached to the other bed stake pocket.Our MAR-K bedsides were designed for their full smooth tailgate that replaces the stock tailgate chains with two-piece hinged check straps and latches.The MAR-K tailgate also incorporates a handle that is on the inside of the tailgate that releases the latch mechanism.The last thing to do in getting our bed to the preliminary stage is to install the fuel filler concealment kit.The Legen's kit consists of a pair of polished aluminum hinges and an electric actuator that will raise the bed board to reveal the fuel filler neck.
The aluminum hinges mount off the bed board adjacent to the board that will open while the actuator mounts off two adjacent boards to that. The hinges should be mounted roughly 1/3 inch from either end of the bed board to provide proper support.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A Tabor College football player has died about a week after he was found badly beaten in McPherson.
Tabor College says on its website that Brandon Brown, a 26-year-old defensive lineman from Sacramento, Calif., died late Saturday at a Wichita hospital.
Brown was hospitalized after he was found lying unconscious on a McPherson street early last Sunday.
McPherson police chief Robert McClarty said Saturday before Brown died that a 19-year-old Texas man was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery in connection with the beating and is being held on $100,000 bond. McClarty says additional charges are likely because of Brown's death.
Tabor says counseling services have been set up for students at Tabor, which is in Hillsboro, about 25 miles east of McPherson and affiliated with the Mennonite faith.

COLBERT, Okla. -- Sending children off to school for the first time can be bittersweet for both kids and parents, but seeing a familiar face might make it easier. For parents of some Colbert students, that familiar face might just be one of your own teachers.
Lucille Turner has taught for more than five decades. So long, she says, that now she's teaching the third generations of some families.
"I've been teaching for 55 years!" Colbert teacher Lucille Turner says.
Turner says it's hard for her to believe, since she never had plans to teach. What she really wanted to do was join the army, but her mother persuaded her to become a teacher, and it's a decision she says has made her very happy.
"If you don't enjoy it, you don't need to be there," Lucille says.
Over the past half-century, Mrs. Turner says she's seen a lot of students come through her classroom doors, teaching thousands of children everything from science to English.
She says the faces certainly aren't the only things that have changed over the years.
"Changes go on all the time. If it's the same old thing all the time, lots of people say it's dull, but it's not because changes are going on in your culture and your classroom, and you really enjoy working with the students," Turner says.
Turner says technology has been the biggest change, and it's really made her job a lot easier. Westward principal Gerald Thompson says all those changes have made Mrs. Turner ready to handle whatever comes her way.
"She's not going to see many things that surprise her, and so we really think a lot of Mrs. Turner. We think she's a very unique teacher, and we're real proud to have her at our school," Principal Gerald Thompson says.
Turner says it's been her pleasure to be able to touch the lives of so many children. Mrs. Turner says she hopes her students will look back at her as a strict teacher who they learned something from.
Mrs. Turner also says she doesn't have any plans to retire and will keep going as long as her health lets her.

If you detect activity on port 3389 (the mouse starts moving) What is the first steps you should take from a security standpoint, and who should be notified?
You've got two choices:
Option 1 involves physically unplugging the machine from the network, then treating it as hostile. It's been infected, therefore it's no longer your computer. Grab whatever files you need from it via a live CD, and wipe the drive. Make sure to run an up-to-date AV over the files you copy, just in case they've been infected with anything. This especially includes documents (.doc, .pdf, etc), as well as scripts and executables, as they're a common target these days.
Option 2 involves potentially losing data, and giving the attacker time to do nasty things with your computer / network. Grab a bunch of tools (Wireshark / Process Explorer) and work out what the hell is going on.
Some tips:
I highly recommend option 1 for safety, but the second option will provide you with a better idea of who the attacker is and what they're up to.
The first thing you should do is physically disconnect the computer from the network. You might think simply "pulling the plug" would be better from the security point of view and you'd be right. However, by pulling the plug you lose valuable forensic data. You should then notify the person responsible for IT Security of your computer. If that person is you, then you should start a forensics investigation to find out how this happened, why and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Comment if you'd like to know more.

Just 297 of nearly 37,000 votes stood between 20-year incumbent Kentucky State Senator Joey Pendleton and his Republican opponent Whitney Westerfield.
Pendleton says he knew the race would be close, but by Wednesday, he'd received so much pressure from supporters to continue, he decided not to concede, but to call for a recanvass of votes.
"And I think I owe that to my supporters and the people who worked so hard for me," said Kentucky State Sen. Joey Pendleton.
Pendleton said he'd been hearing reports that he led in Logan County all evening, and the loss there was a surprise.
In his nearly 20 years in office, he's never requested a recanvass or recount, but an incident from earlier in his political career led him to make the choice.
"When I ran for magistrate, there was a gentleman that showed that he only got ten votes at a precinct, when actually he got 100," said Sen. Pendleton.
The recanvass will double check to ensure there were no errors in reporting figures. Pendleton's opponent Whitney Westerfield said if the tables were turned, he would probably request a recanvass too.
" He has an interest in staying in the seat. He wouldn't have run for re-election if he didn't. If the roles were reversed, I'd absolutely consider doing the same thing. It's a close margin," said Westerfield.
The recanvassing will take place next Thursday in all three counties' precincts. As is both candidates' right, Westerfield plans to have a campaign representative at each recanvassing site.
Both men say they know the results can go either way.
"I spent a lot of time meeting as many people as I could over the last ten months, and I think it paid off, and I hope the result remains unchanged," said Westerfield.
"I don't think there's anything personal about it, and I'm pleased with my record, and what I've done in the 20 years I've been there in Christian, Todd, and Logan Counties, and I'm not going away," said Sen. Pendleton.
Both say they'll continue being advocates for the community whether in office or not.
After the results of the recanvassing are reported, Pendleton says he will then decide whether to call for a full recount of votes.

Sixth-Seeded Volleyball Team Upsets No. 2 Seed Tusculum to Reach SAC Tournament Finals
November 23, 2013
NEWBERRY, S.C. – With four players reaching double-figure kills, the No. 6 seeded Anderson volleyball team notched its second upset in as many days by outlasting second-seeded Tusculum, 3-2 (23-25, 25-23, 26-24, 20-25, 15-7) in semifinal action of the 2013 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament at Newberry College's Eleazer Arena.
"Tonight was a repeat of last night where we were able to execute with perfection," said Anderson head coach Craig Mosqueda. "Our offense as a whole was excellent. Alix (Hooker) led us on defense and our ball handling was very impressive. I am very proud of this group, which has played well all weekend and is playing with a lot of heart."
A day after sweeping third-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne to earn its' first-ever SAC Tournament victory, Anderson (17-13) knocked off Tusculum (21-10) for just the second time in school history and the first time since the 2004 campaign.
The Trojans have won four straight and five of their last six, while earning a berth in the conference tournament finals for the first time since joining the league in 2010. Anderson will square off against top-seeded and nationally ninth-ranked Wingate in the championship tilt on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
The first set was tied three times in the early going, but the Trojans were never able to gain the lead. Leading, 11-9, Tusculum took its largest lead of the frame (15-10) on the strength of a 4-1 surge, but Anderson answered with a 7-2 run of its own to even the score for the fourth time of the set. The Pioneers built a late two-point edge and claimed the set by the same margin.
The Trojans held off a late Tusculum rally to claim the second frame, as AU posted an early 5-0 run to take an 11-6 lead. After the Pioneers climbed within two, at 14-12, the Trojans steadily built their largest lead of the set, at 21-14, before Tusculum reeled off five unanswered points as part of an overall 9-3 run to battle back within one. However, middle blocker Hailey Pittman posted the final kill to give Anderson the win.
With the third set knotted at seven apiece, the two team traded four-point outbursts, with the Trojans surging to an 11-7 lead, before Tusculum countered with four straight points of its own to even the score for the fourth time. Anderson then rattled off four unanswered for a 15-11 edge and pushed out to a 20-15 lead before the Pioneers closed within 22-21. Redshirt freshman Tinsley Hallman and Pittman recorded back-to-back kills before TC's Megan Hasse posted a kill and AU committed a pair of miscues to even the score at 24-24. Redshirt freshman Priscilla Irizarry halted the run with a kill, with Pittman and setter Meghan Cautero combining on a block to finish the set.
The fourth set featured seven early ties before Anderson snapped a 7-7 deadlock with a 7-1 outburst behind the strong serving of Irizarry and Alix Hooker, who finished with three aces. But Tusculum answered with an 11-2 run as part of an overall 17-6 surge to win the set and force a fifth and deciding set.
The Trojans regained the momentum in the final frame, racing out to a 9-3 advantage and the Pioneers were unable to recover. AU's lead grew to eight late in the set and Irizarry knocked down the final kill of the match.
"Also impressive tonight was our blocking," added Mosqueda. "Hailey and Jessica did a great job closing the block and leading an impressive night."
Outside hitter Shannon Gillespie led all players with 16 kills and added 12 digs for her 23rd double-double of the season. Irizarry tallied a career-high 15 kills and posted 12 digs to go along with six block assists, as she recorded her third double-double of the season. Pittman posted 14 kills and five block assists on the afternoon. Hallman finished with 10 kills, 10 digs and four block assists, as she recorded her first career double-double. Cautero narrowly missed her 11th double-double after dishing out a match-high 52 assists and coming up with eight digs in the win. Hooker shared match-high honors with 31 digs. True freshman Jessica Harris recorded six block assists.

About 40 golfers took to the links over the weekend to contest the annual Pratt County Golf Tournament. After 36 holes of fierce yet friendly competition, Lynn Perez emerged as County Champion for 2013—narrowly edging Steve Orlando who also had a two-day score of 150. Perez was awarded the coveted and prestigious County Championship off the card by virtue of his birdie-ing #7 at Park Hills on Sunday (the #1 handicap hole at Park Hills.)
As usual, any golfer residing in Pratt County was eligible to participate. 18 holes were played at Green Valley on Saturday, then 18 holes were played at Park Hills on Sunday. The tournament was flighted so as to thwart golfers like The Hack, who shot 76 at Park Hills after a horrible score at Green Valley. Tournament officials refused to be fooled by such obvious sandbagging— flighting the tourney on 36-hole scores.
The courses were in good shape for late October and the weather ranged from decent on Saturday to spectacular on Sunday. Several golfers commented that playing conditions could not have been better for a tournament being held so late in the season.
Results of the tournament are as follows:
Championship flight:
1.Lynn Perez 150
2.Steve Orlando 150
3.Ryan Clark 155
4.Ned Albers 156

Release Automation
Tickets related to this spec are in the Twisted 8.0 milestone.
Here's what we need to do, vaguely in order of dependency, with test-driven development.
The first group of things is related to actually creating a package of Twisted itself that we can release.
- Automate the updating of version numbers in the code for an upcoming release.
- Set version information in new deprecations to the version number actually associated with a release
- Automate documentation generation in a way suitable for inclusion in release tarballs.
- Automate man-page web page generation suitable for inclusion in release tarballs.
- Automate generation of release tarballs
- Automate generation of the NEWS file
The rest is about publishing the release and its documentation.
- Automate generation of "the book"
- Automate publishing of "howto" documents to the web site
- Automate updating the API documentation on the web site
- Automate updating the "downloads" page with references to the latest release
- Automate uploading of the released tarballs to our file distribution mirrors
The tasks related to publishing things to the web site should ensure that compatibility with current forms and URLs is maintained. The "WebSite" svn repo contains our web site configuration, which will probably require some changes. It doesn't matter if the publishing stuff is "push", i.e. uploading some files to a web server, or "on-demand", by having dynamic code running on the server that automatically finds the latest release. It just needs to be tested!
And to bring all of the previous items together:
- Create a tool for doing all of the previous items. It will:
- create a new branch from trunk. Operating on the branch:
- update version numbers
- help you build a NEWS file
- commit changes
- create a release tag of the branch
- merge the branch into trunk
- export the release tag.
- Create a tool for creating an "upstream package" from the export:
- generate all documentation
- for the website (including links in the generated output which may refer to the website)
- howtos
- API docs
- PDF book
- for the tarballs (including links in the generated output which may not refer to the website)
- howtos
- for the website (including links in the generated output which may refer to the website)
- create tarballs from the result of those items
- one for each project
- one for everything
- generate all documentation
- publish the release to the web site (including publishing the documentation)
- upload the source tarballs such that they can be downloaded from the website
- modify the website to refer to the new release
- upload the documentation and modify website to refer to it
- upload tarballs to mirrors.
- create a new branch from trunk. Operating on the branch:
In addition,
- We should have a buildbot which runs the automated package-building and installs it and runs the tests from that installed version.
This should give a pretty clear idea of what needs to be done. If anything's unclear, then you should assume that the behavior is yet to be defined, and try to help define it. Just make sure everything "public" is backwards compatible. These tickets are largely defined in terms of requirements, and implementation is irrelevant as long as it is high-quality code.

Charlotte and WInthrop split a Tuesday late-night doubleheader for Charlotte's final home games with the visiting Eagles taking a 10-3 opener and the 49ers winning 7-1 in the nightcap at the D.L. Phillips Complex in non-conference action.
Charlotte got out ahead with two runs in the second inning. Natalie Capone (St. Charles, Ill / St. Charles North HS) drove a leadoff single through the middle and stole second. An infield single from Alex Rogers (Lutz, Fla. / Sunlake HS) and a throwing error scored Capone from second and after a fielder's choice, a single and a wild pitch, the Niners got an RBI bunt single on a squeeze from Samantha Slade (Apex, N.C.) for a 2-0 lead.
Winthrop scored two runs on a walk and three hits before they loaded the bases for Noble, who hit a grand slam to left center for a 6-2 lead.
Noble struck again in the seventh with a homer down the line with a runner on and two outs.
Charlotte had a leadoff homer in the sixth, the seventh of the season from Kalie Lang (Charlotte, N.C. / Northwest Florida State / Ardrey Kell HS) to pull the 49ers to within five, at 8-3.
The Eagles got another two-run homer in the top of the seventh, also to left, this one from Alex White, for the game's final scoring play.
Winthrop starter Sutton Watson allowed 10 hits and a walk, but stranded 10 Niners batters on bsae to get the win and improve to 15-12. She struck out one batter.
Charlotte starter Katie Watkins allowed 12 hits and four walks, with five strikeouts in the loss, dropping her to 13-15.
Charlotte softball jumped out to an early lead and surged in the middle innings for a 7-1 win to split a Tuesday night doubleheader against Winthrop at the D.L. Phillips Complex in non-conference action. Charlotte is now 22-26 on the year, while Winthrop is 25-24.
The Eagles scored first with an unearned run on a walk, a hit and an error in the opening frame.
Charlotte scored two unearned runs on a throwing error that went all the way to the center field fence on a fielder's choice for a 2-1 lead.
The Niners then plated three runs without a hit in the fourth on four walks, a hit batter and a fielder's choice for a 5-1 lead. Briana Gwaltney (Anaheim Hills, Calif. / Canyon HS) drew a bases-loaded walk for an RBI before Chelsea Ingersoll (Charlotte, N.C. / Butler HS) was hit by a pitch to drive in another in the frame. Jessica Plemmons (Lexington, N.C. / North Davidson HS) put home the third run on a ground ball out in the inning.
The Niners got two more runs on a two-RBI single from Lang for the final runs of the game.
Charlotte starter Chelsea Lisikatos (Cold Spring, N.Y. / Haldane) got the win to improve her record to 7-10. The lone run scored against her in the first was unearned and she scattered nine hits and a walk in seven innings. She struck out five.
Winthrop starter Sara Allen allowed the two unearned runs in the opening inning, but took the loss. She allowed three hits and two walks in three innings, with two strikeouts.
Charlotte will conclude the regular season on the road this Saturday with an Atlantic 10 Conference doubleheader at La Salle, starting a noon.

A time ago I was intrigued by the following remark: "... one ends up with a (non-sparse) system of equations in about 10000 real variables. One important practical point is that solving such systems is now well within the capabilities of a standard desctop PC;...". The above is a quote from Notices of AMS 55 no. 9 (October 2008), page 1093 (left). Occasionally, I have to solve a system or two which are not the size of an undergraduate excercise in linear algebra. In my experience, Maple become pretty useless for the purpose as soon as the number of variables approaches 1000.
QUESTION: What kind of software I need to solve such a big system on a "standard desctop PC"?
P.S. It's a pity that in the quoted article ("Uncovering a New L-function" by A.R.Booker) there is no single word about this.

Will this affect the site's ranking with Google and if so, how?
First of all, unless you planned on the site going down every day at the same time, you have a hosting problem and you should fix that ASAP. There just isn't any good reason for your current hosting provider to go offline that often, for that long, and that consistently. If it is a planned outage, please be sure to serve up a notice so there isn't a bare 404 error page (assuming the site can even respond properly during the outage).
To more directly answer the question, this could have a negative effect on your SEO in a couple of ways. If Google is trying to index the site during the outage window and it consistently can't get a response or gets a 404 error then you will probably incur some quality penalties and/or have pages dropped out of the index.
The other thing to look out for is negative user behavior due to the frequent outages. Going from a link in Google to a dead site or dead page will probably result in a quick bounce back to Google. If you have a high bounce rate, the implication is that there is poor content or a poor user experience on your site and Google will penalize you for quality reasons.
In short, it certainly will not HELP your ranking and it will very possibly hurt you.
Google, and all the other Search Engines, crawlers, bots, etc., crawl your site every day (if your site is big enough indeed). Google crawls the important pages for changes at a higher rate, like your homepage and your highest quality content pages, and randomly the rest of your pages to make sure that it's up to date.
Now, the pages that randomly Google will try to crawl during that 15 minutes will return a 404 or a 500 HTTP response, and will eventually be penalized, but will slowly recover as they get correctly indexed again.
Also penalized, but with less harm, will be the pages that link to those temporary 404 pages, and a little less SEO harm will get the pages that are being linked from those pages.
Personally I wouldn't bother that much if it's only 15 minutes, take into account that many pages do maintenance. Just try it to be 5 minutes or less to minimize the harm to your site.

Noah Snyder gave a great answer to this question about different versions of a quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak g)$ when $q$ is a root of unity. I want to ask about forms of the deformed coordinate ring $\mathcal O_q(G)$ when $q$ is a root of unity.
Let's focus on $SL(2)$. Recall that the "small quantum group" (see Noah's answer) is obtained by dividing $U_q(\mathfrak s\mathfrak l_2)$ by the ideal generated by $E^e,F^e,K^e-1$ (which is central since $q^e=1$). The quotient is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra $\overline{U_q}(\mathfrak s\mathfrak l_2)$. Since $\mathcal O_q(SL(2))$ and $U_q(\mathfrak s\mathfrak l_2)$ are in duality, one expects that there is a corresponding finite-dimensional subalgebra of $\mathcal O_q(SL(2))$ (the set of elements annihilated by $E^e,F^e,K^e-1$). What is it, and are there references about it? Is there a good reason why it is hard to work with compared to the Hopf algebra perspective?

By Jaclyn Kreifels
In today's fast paced society, it's easy to indulge in high sodium foods. However, there are easy ways to reduce our sodium intake. First, always read the label. Begin with the "Serving Size" most containers have more than one serving. If the serving size is two, and you plan to consume the entire product, you must double the milligrams of sodium listed (and calories too of course).
For example, a prepackaged lunch indicates two servings per container, and the sodium listed is 720mg. Therefore, when consuming the entire package, you actually consume 1440mg of sodium.
The average person should try and limit sodium to 2300mg per day. Other ways to watch our sodium consumption is to purchase reduced sodium or salt free items in the grocery store, omit salt from recipes and always try your food before salting it.

Orlando, FL - Behind goals by Giuseppe Gentile and Will Mayhew, the 12th-ranked Charlotte 49ers (6-1-2) rallied for a 2-1 double overtime win on the road over UCF (2-3-2) in their final non-conference game. This marked the 49ers sixth double overtime game of the season.
"It was
an incredible game," Charlotte coach Kevin Langan said. "I am so proud of our
guys to fight back after being down with just over 30 minutes left in regulation.
I am really proud of our team's effort and determination tonight. We played 17
guys so it was a total team win."
UCF scored the game's first goal when Deshorn Brown put a shot from 15 yards out into the back of the net off a Jeff Michaud assist in the 56th minute.
Charlotte tied the score when Giuseppe Gentile headed in an Isaac Caughran pass in the 73rd minute. Gentile's goal was his third of the season and the 13th of his career.
Charlotte's Mayhew scored the game-winning goal in the 103rd minute. Tyler Gibson passed the ball to Thomas Allen who headed it to Mayhew who then put the ball into the back of the net. Mayhew's goal was his first of the season and the fifth of his career. Mayhew's goal was his first career game-winner.
Charlotte finished the game with 15 shots. Gibson and Gentile led the 49ers with three shots apiece. Owen Darby and Mayhew each recorded two shots apiece.
Charlotte will take a nine-day break and when the 49ers return to action they will open Atlantic 10 play with a road trip to Richmond, Virginia. The 49ers face VCU on the road in their A-10 opener, Friday, October 5 at 7 pm.

I'm a Administrator (unix, Linux and some windows apps such as Exchange) by experience and have never worked on any programming language besides C# and scripting on Bash and lately on powershell.
I'm starting out as a service provider and using multiple network/server monitoring tools based on open source (nagios, opennms etc) in order to monitor them. At this moment, being inspired by a design that I came up with, to do more than what is available with the open source at this time, I would like to start programming and test some of these ideas.
The requirement is that a server software that captures a stream of data and store them in a database(CouchDB or MongoDB preferably) and the client side (agent installed on a server) would be sending this stream of data on a schedule of every 10 minutes or so.
For these two core ideas, I have been reading about Python and Erlang besides ruby. I do plan to use either Amazon or Rackspace where the server platform would run. This gives me the scalability needed when we have more customers with many servers. For that reason alone, I thought Erlang was a better fit(I could be totally wrong, new to this game) and I understand that Erlang has limited support in some ways compared to Ruby or Python. But also I'm totally new to the programming realm of things and any advise would be appreciated grately.

What other official places can I go for getting help on Ubuntu if I do not get the help I wanted on Ask Ubuntu?
The Official Ubuntu Documentation page where you can find the official documentation developed and maintained by the Ubuntu Documentation Project.
The Ubuntu Documentation Wiki, whose home page I can never seem to find with a search, is a community-driven and open area of the Ubuntu documentation website which anyone can edit.
The Ubuntu Wiki. (I'm never really sure what this site is about or where to look for things on it, but there it is all the same. It does have a somewhat pretty page containing Ubuntu Release Information)
Ubuntu Common Questions (aka FAQ) page
The Ubuntu Index of all available pages (Supposedly a list/index of all community documentation pages.)
I feel the question is missing something. It's phrased in the manner of "I didn't get help here... where else can I go to find people to help me?" But Ask Ubuntu isn't really about helping people one-on-one. If that were the primary purpose, we wouldn't close questions because they are duplicates or bug reports. The primary purpose of Ask Ubuntu is to create a useful resource for people to look up their question and find answers.
So the proper answer to "I didn't get help here. What do I do next?" is:
"Do your research. Search for similar, related questions. Then if you still haven't gotten anywhere, edit and improve your question using the knowledge you have garnered."
Ideally you're supposed to have done this first. But often people do not. The FAQ actually suggests doing this.
First, search Ask Ubuntu. Experiment with different keywords. Use more restricted searches first, e.g. more specific keywords and also putting phrases in quotes, and then lighten the constraints if you aren't finding what you need.
Next, you can use Google to search for key terms. Even if you didn't get an answer from searching Ask Ubuntu, you might have gotten some ideas of what to search for. Google will find you hits from a variety of forums and is still generally considered the best search engine. You might also consider using Google's site specific search. Along with your keywords, just type in
Finally after all that, if you still haven't found your answer, you're hopefully much better informed, and you should yet again consider posting here or at least updating your question.
There is also the paid official support:
and others forums like:
You can go to Ubuntu forums.
You might also check out the ubuntu IRC channels on freenode. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chat
I've used them all, and learned that you really need to be careful at some of them, even ubuntuforums.org; there is a lot of "the blind leading the blind" - people trying to be helpful who don't really know what they are doing, or why they did what they did, etc.
It seems like Stack Exchange has a lot of smart people, including a lot of people who work for Ubuntu, plus the voting helps you find good answers, and rewards people who provide good answers.
But one other resource that nobody mentioned yet is Reddit.com. They have a voting mechanism there that helps promote good answers, or helps you find good (or popular) answers and discussions.
The other answers all have good resources, but I must admit my first port of call is my favourite search engine - there are lots of blog posts and wiki pages out there describing how people have overcome various problems they have found. Nothing except a search engine is going to be able to find them all.
A basic tip is to put the text of an error message, surrounded by quotes, into the search box. That will return results that match the exact message you got. Has worked wonders for me on many occasions. Though note you should exclude anything specific to your system - time/date stamps, paths etc.
While the first officially supports asking and answering in several languages, the second has some localized versions. You can read about the language issue here (from 2010): Are there any plans for localized Ask Ubuntu instances?. (Thanks to Elijah Kazan for suggesting the edit.)
There are plenty of helpful people you can ask in
you can also do this by typing into Xchat:

Whew: British Royals won't have to raise papist princelings
The latest from Catholic News Service:
LONDON (CNS) -- Church leaders have told the British government that members of the royal family who marry Catholics under recently passed legislation will not be obliged to bring up their children in the Catholic faith.Lord Wallace of Tankerness, speaking on behalf of the government, said he had been assured personally by Msgr. Marcus Stock, general secretary of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, that the canonical requirement of Catholics to raise their children in the faith was not always binding."I have the specific consent of Msgr. Stock to say that he was speaking on behalf of Archbishop (Vincent) Nichols (of Westminster) as president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and can inform the House that the view taken by the Catholic Church in England and Wales is that, in the instance of mixed marriages, the approach of the Catholic Church is pastoral," he said.
Do we all get that "pastoral" out? I'm not in a "mixed marriage" (and the kid does First Holy Communion this Sunday, white dress and all, so we're clearly the real deal). But I didn't know how negotiable this pledge to raise the kids Catholic was today. Times change. I wonder how flexible we can be on other things.In any event, the real reason I posted this is because I couldn't resist a story that cites Lord Wallace of Tankerness.

I think the change is that the non-Catholic party no longer has to agree that the children will be raised as Catholics. However, the Catholic party has to promise to do all in his/her power to raise the children as Catholics and the non-Catholic party has to be informed of that promise before the wedding (but doesn't have to agree).As I understand it, the Catholic party has to make a good faith effort when the time comes, but not to the extent of causing the marriage to break up. I think that is all that that statement is saying. I don't think it is saying that the Catholic party can agree before the wedding that the children will be raised as Anglicans.
In Vaticanese: "pastoral" (1) = socially acceptable violation of unpopular law "pastoral" (2m) = after you've lost a battle, acting like it was a draw.
What prompted this story, David? Seems to come out of nowhere. Is one of those royals about to strengthen the Windsor gene pool by marrying outside the faith?
I disagree with Ann's definition. Mine is.. pastoral means= if your 'connected' they will find a way foward. Say hello to Rudy Guiliani, Joe Montana, Ted Kennedy. .
Congratulations to your daughter, David. (Check out the Wiki entries for Tankerness and Baron Wallace. We Orcadians take pride in our Viking forebears.) (I'm dreading the finale of "Vikings": can't bear to think of Ragnar in the snakepit.)
ED ==Yes, that is a third meaning. What a useful word!(But I have to admit that there are some cases when a priest seems damned if he does approve and damned if he doesn't. Sigh.)
Here is Canon 1125 wih my bracketed insertionsCan. 1125 The local ordinary can grant a permission of this kind [for a mixed marriage] if there is a just and reasonable cause. He is not to grant it unless the following conditions have been fulfilled:1/ the Catholic party [only] is to declare that he or she is prepared to remove dangers of defecting from the faith and is to make a sincere promise to do all in his or her power so that all offspring are baptized and brought up in the Catholic Church;2/ the other party is to be informed at an appropriate time about the promises which the Catholic party is to make, in such a way that it is certain that he or she is truly aware of the promise and obligation of the Catholic party;3/ both parties are to be instructed about the purposes and essential properties of marriage which neither of the contracting parties is to exclude.I think it is "pastoral" in that it allows a couple to get married without have settled between them whether their children will be raised as Catholics. Unless they already have children, , they may well have a year or more to resolve that between themselves. The Church requires only that the Catholic party do what is possible - it doesn't say that if the non-Catholic party still doesn't agree you must get a divorce and try to get custody of the kids so you can raise them as Catholics.
In 18th century colonial Maryland, Catholics were allowed to marry Anglicans without necessarily promising to raise the children Catholic. So clearly there are precedents.
What is remarkable is that this clarification is needed. Is there a general perception that the practice is anything other than what the bishops conference told Lord Wallace, pursuant to the canon law that John Hayes cited? I wonder what the law was before 1983, when the current Code was promulgated?
A wonderful priest I know remarked that in his half century plus of ministry the greatest source of converts by far was mixed marriages.Interesting that the impetus was apparently in the case of royal marriages. I enjoyed Ann and Ed's definitions of pastoral. Shades of "as we always taught" come to mind as flexible language may often be useful.David, Happy First Communion to Stella. May it be a special day for all.
Tankerness is, according to Wikipedia, on a peninsula in Scotland and looks typically non-Highlands Scot. I don't know why this reassures me.
I'm still waiting for the answer to Jean Raber's question, since I don't follow the Royals. Why this story?
I find it hard to believe that this is still a matter of concern within mixed-faith/faith-non faith couples.
I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground 'fore I have a Romish king o'er me!
Jim Pauwels, before Canon 2319 was abrogated by Paul Vi in 1970, Catholics who baptised or had their children educated in a non-CathoIic religion were excommunicated. Paul's "Matrimonia Mixta" established the provisions later codified in the Canon I quoted above. "Canon 2319, 1:"Catholics are under an excommunication latae sententiae reserved to the Ordinary:(1) who contract marriage before a non-Catholic minister contrary to canon 1063, 1, 1:(2) who contract marriage with an explicit or implicit agreement that all children or any child be educated outside the Catholic Church;(3) who knowingly presume to present their children to non-Catholic ministers to be baptized;(4) who, being parents or taking their place, knowingly present their children to be educated or trained in a non-Catholic religion."My recollection is that the non-Catholic partner had to make a commitment before the priest prior to the marriage that all hildren would be raised as Catholics. I think it had to be in writing but I may be wrong about that.Matrimonia Mixta is herehttp://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/motu_proprio/documents/hf_p-vi... includes this credit to Vatican II:"Accordingly, in order that ecclesiastical discipline on mixed marriages be more perfectly formulated and that, without violating divine law, canon law should have regard for the differing circumstances of married couples, in accordance with the mind of the Second Vatican Council expressed especially in the decree Unitatis Redintegratio(7) and in the declaration Dignitatis Humanae,(8) and also in careful consideration of the wishes expressed in the Synod of Bishops, we, by our own authority, and after mature deliberation, establish and decree the following norms:"
Jean Raber, it came up because they are changing the law to allow women to succeed to their parent's throne an monarchs to marry Catholics."The remarks were made during the third reading debate of the Succession to the Crown Bill in the House of Lords April 22.For the first time in more than 300 years, legislation would allow British monarchs to marry Catholics. The sections of the 1701 Act of Settlement that insist on the sovereign being a member of the Church of England will, however, remain in place.The bill will also end the rule of male primogeniture and permit female first-borns to have the right of succession over any young brothers.The bill means that if the child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, due in July, is a girl, she will have the right to rule ahead of any younger brothers -- and will also be free to marry a Catholic.Some members of the House of Lords were deeply concerned that the Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church compelled a Catholic spouse to raise his or her offspring as Catholics.Canon 1125 requires that in a mixed marriage the Catholic "is to make a sincere promise to do all in his or her power in order that all the children be baptized and brought up in the Catholic Church."Lord Cormack attempted to introduce an amendment April 22 to put beyond doubt the requirement that the sovereign be a Protestant and in communion with the Church of England. This was withdrawn after Lord Wallace revealed the assurances of the Catholic hierarchy.http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1301804.htm
Gerelyn: "Lord Wallace of Tankerness" has Viking ancestry? Sounds rather Anthony Trollope-ish to me.
Ann Oliver - love your definitions!
Dan --Stick around the Church for a while and you'll find some strange definitions on your own ;-)
Hi, Angela:Trollope's name contains the good old Norse word, "troll." (He was a descendant of Normans/Norsemen/Vikings.) (His great books are available at bargain prices on Amazon for Kindle. I guess the Barchester Chronicles are my favorites.)
Thanks, John Hayes. I heard about the new primogeniture rule, but didn't realize that it was attached to an "it's OK to marry RC's now" clause. Very interesting.
John Hayes,I think the promise by the non-Catholic party had to be in writing. Least ways, my Southern Baptist father reportedly signed something before marrying my mother in 1939. Part of the instructions were that there was to be no undue publicity for the union (no newspaper notices anywhere) and the wedding could not take place in the sanctuary. Because of all the restrictions, they got married at my non-Catholic uncle's house, with a Jesuit presiding. Multiple permissions sought and received for various reasons, among them the service had to conclude by 5PM. The priest was addressed as "Mr." by my uncle, which caused static with the Catholics in attendance. From all the family stories later, wish I could have been in a corner somewhere.We've come a long way, with much more to go...
Suppose, in the current climate, the young royals are raised neither as Catholic nor as Anglican, nor, for that matter, as Methodists or other Dissenters. Does that raise the possibility that the Head of the Church of England might not be a Christian believer of any sort?Gerelyn -- if you like Trollope's Barchester novels, you'll love his Parliamentary novels, one of whose main protagonists, the ambitious and highly likeable and attractive Phineas Finn is an Irish Catholic (though we never see him anywhere near a church). As for the Trollopian sound of "Tankerness," that's right on. In chap. iv of Phineas Redux, Trollope gives us an account of an electoral campaign in Tankerville (though it's in England, not Scotland). Incidentally, if you have an ipod or other such mp3 player, you can download free readings of all his Barchester and Parliamentary, and many other novels, from www.librivox.org. Readings are by amateurs, some very good, some less so. I'm one of them, but I won't try to guess which category I fall into (though I'm afraid I know).

While reading the Facebook comments in the Sentinel's Friday, June 21 paper about the closing of the gun towers at correctional facilities I felt I had to tell of an incident that happened when my husband was working for corrections.
While making rounds one night with another employee, they became aware that there were inmates hiding in the lumber yard. They radioed the control center and after some preparations - the control center alerted the gun towers and flood lights were turned on that flooded the lumber yard. The inmates were armed with rocks, pieces of lumber and shanks. If it had not been for the gun towers, I might be drawing a widow's pension instead of a retirement pension.
We are a third generation correction family. I could tell of more incidents - the gun towers are really needed when the fog is heavy.

I see a lot of pictures with those "line" effects in the sky and I'm wondering how this technique is called (so I can google how it's done). http://500px.com/photo/3464783
Those are usually called "star trails", and they come about as a result of leaving the camera's shutter open for an extended period of time. The center of the circle will be either the north or south pole, depending on which hemisphere you are in.
As often as not, though, the sky with star trails is captured separately from the foreground, and later swapped into the foreground scene. That would be cheating, except that light pollution often makes it impossible (in a practical sense) to capture the star trails and the foreground in the same exposure unless you are in a very remote area.
This is called Star Trails and you do it by creating a long-exposure photograph of stars as they appear to rotate about the poles.

I have an ATI graphics card and I want to know if it is supported and what kind of drivers should I be running to get the best features out of it.
Is my card supported in Ubuntu and what drivers will work with my card?
I have an ATI graphics card and I want to know if it is supported and what kind of drivers should I be running to get the best features out of it.
Is my card supported in Ubuntu and what drivers will work with my card?
Officially Supported Hardware
To check if your card is supported visit this site.
If you card is not listed there then probably it is too new and simply is not supported by any ATI driver.
Installation of the drivers
Before installing any drivers you need to install some dependencies to your system, do this by running this command
Official binary packages from Ubuntu
To install the
or search for the
Latest version provided by Ubuntu's
Official ATI binaries from the ATI site
To install the latest ATI 15.9 drivers follow this, people are reporting that updating their driver solves some problems with Unity and Gnome-Shell
You will need to remove all the current
Remove the fglrx drivers if previously installed them (if any of these returns errors ie: file not found, package not found ignore it)
Download the newest ATI driver (current version is 15.9)
If you have a 64 bit system, then install this before anything
Once downloaded go to the file location and set it to run as executable
For 32/64 bit Ubuntu use these steps to install
Once the driver is installed you need to start up a new xorg.conf file with this command
Revert back to the open source drivers
After installing drivers from deb packages
Remove all the fglrx traces from your system:
Remove your xorg.conf
Reinstall xorg
For 32bits systems
For 64bits systems
Configure Xorg
After the reboot all the fglrx packages will be gone, you will be using default ones.
After installing drivers from ATI binary
Remove all the ATI driver files:
Remove your xorg.conf
Reinstall xorg
For 32bits systems
For 64bits systems
Configure Xorg
After the reboot all the fglrx drivers will be gone, you will be using default ones.
I have found that the default, open driver works best with my ATI card (5450). I had installed a proprietary driver that Ubuntu recommends, but had issues with shutdown crashing. I uninstalled the proprietary driver, and I don't notice any difference in performance at all, but all I use it for is the Compiz effects, no games.
There's atleast three drivers available with newer ATI cards. THere's the open source driver. It's reliable but not always the fastest. THen there's the fglrx driver shipped with the operating system or from jockey. It's faster and propably working. And then there's the fglrx driver downloadable from ATI.
The open source drivers is actually quite good. Try that one first.
Many ATI video cards work well with Ubuntu automatically. To check that 3d acceleration works with your card, see the section called "Introduction to 3D Video Acceleration". If it does not work, this procedure should activate it.
Install the xorg-driver-fglrx package from the Restricted repository (see Chapter 2, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
You now need to configure the computer to use the new driver so run this command in a terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg When the dialogue appears and asks whether to do automatic detection of your video, pick Yes.
When asked to select a driver, pick fglrx.
Follow the remaining instructions as appropriate.
Restart your machine for changes to take effect.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

I've just started playing OpenTTD (Thanks to Macha's blog post) and most of my train and cars are making a loss (or not much profit) how can I tell how much money the business will make? And how long they'll take to make it.
It isn't possible to tell accurately how much a service will make. A train makes money by delivering cargo, so the amount of money it makes in a given period of time depends on:
More information on how it's calculated: http://wiki.openttd.org/Cargo_income
To make money initially, I find a coal train from a coal mine to a power plant about a screen and a half away with 3 or 5 carriages is nearly always profitable.
It's not possible to tell, but you can make an educated choice on the services you implement to increase the chances that you do make money.
For example, taking advantage of the subsidies offered is a good way to boost your income early in the game.
Also, I usually start with some simple passenger bus services between two close towns. They seem to be profitable for me just about every time.

Stress is a normal part of life, but working women seem to have more than their share. As a pregnant working woman, you need to be sure that the stress in your life doesn't adversely affect your health and the health of your baby. If you cant fight or flee, learn how to flow.
Ten Ways to Control Stress at Work
Have you had trouble sleeping lately? Suffer from headaches, stomachaches, or heartburn? Or do you seem to develop one cold after another? Perhaps that's your body's way of reacting to too much stress. Here are some general strategies for reducing the impact:
A word to the wise: Drugs and alcohol are temporary anxiety relievers they will not permanently remove the sources of stress. That doesn't take into consideration what these substances may do to you and your baby. Never drink alcohol or take medication without a doctor's consent or prescription.Fast-Acting Stress Busters

Back to Previous Page | Curriculum Home
MAZ501: Discrete Math (2013-2014)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Mathematics
COURSE TITLE: Discrete Math
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
Major Concepts/Content: This discrete mathematics course by design shows a different view of mathematics than as seen in traditional mathematics courses. It is an applications driven course that is based upon the study of events that occur in small, or discrete, chunks. Discrete concepts are used extensively in business, industry, government, and the digital world. The major areas of study are counting and probability, graph theory, the mathematics of social choice (voting and fair division), and coding and encryption. Some of the questions investigated in discrete math are: What does a bar code mean? What is the most efficient way a delivery truck can visit ten destinations? Should you buy a lottery ticket?
Major Instructional Activities: Probability applications include predicting outcomes using combinations, permutations, and counting principles. Mathematics of social choice investigates election theory and fair division. The graph theory component is comprised of the following: (1) graphs and directed graphs- shortest paths and graph coloring; (2) various trees; and (3) circuits and networks. The role of coding and encryption in the digital world will be investigated. The concept of recursion is a strategy embedded throughout discrete studies. Concepts will be explored and simulated using a variety of technology tools.
Major Evaluative Techniques: The assessments, formal and informal, will be used to describe and identify student progression toward the discrete mathematics expectations. Students will be asked to demonstrate the depth of their knowledge through tasks which mirror realistic situations. Students will be required to develop verbal, written and technological skills in the process of solving the problem as well as use critical thinking in working towards a solution.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to use:
- graphs of vertices and edges to model a problem situation.
- critical path analysis to solve scheduling problems.
- graph coloring techniques.
- minimal spanning trees to solve problems.
- codes, including error-correcting codes, and decoding techniques.
- bin-packing techniques to solve problems.
- tree diagrams, Venn diagrams and other pictorial representations to find the number of outcomes in a problem situation.
- the fundamental counting principle to find the number of outcomes.
- combinatorial reasoning to solve problems.
- counting techniques to solve problems.
- simulations to solve counting and probability problems.
- election theory techniques to analyze election data.
- weighted voting techniques to decide voting power within a group.
- fair division techniques to divide continuous objects.
- fair division techniques to solve apportionment problems.
- recursive thinking to solve problems.
- matrices to organize data and solve problems.

please i am learning php newly and i need help on how to do many thing, one is how to and what is needed to insert new post and replies and thread and sub thread and the mysql query that will be be used to view the pages. thanks
how to create a php and mysql forum
Where do you want to create it?
You need to brush up on mysql first then so you know how to organize data so its optimized and fast. Then you can worry about the logic needed to manipulate the data and then the visual code to display it and the client code to work with the display.
There are many ready made forum script,why you want to create yourself,it's not easy

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7. When I call my Android phone, it rings for 30 seconds before timing out and directing to my voicemail. I want it to only ring for 20 seconds before timing out - how can I change this? Is there somewhere in the Android GUI for me to set it?
OK, this is indeed a setting which is determined by the carrier. It can be changed (at least on GSM networks, according to this Tech Recipes article), using an MMI code (Man-Machine Interface code). Here's the procedure that worked for me:
On your Android phone, go to your Phone app, dial
Next, go to your Phone app and then the keypad. Now dial this number from the keypad to change the time your phone will ring before it goes to voicemail:
... and then hit the call button.
In the above code, you will put your voicemail number where the
Delay is in five second increments with the maximum being 30 seconds (ie. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 secs).
So for example, if my voicemail number is
Apparently, this will work for AT&T, T-Mobile, and any other GSM / SIM Card Carrier and may work on other phones besides Android devices.
Personally I am in the UK and so my voicemail number starts +44, so my MMI code to change the voicemail timeout was more like this:
It worked perfectly for me, and set the voicemail timeout to 20 seconds.
