In for 5! $25 and change...
Added a zippered one for $6.78
I spent $12.74 and got a full-zip and a pull-over. All codes worked. (The web-site says no code stacking, but you can.) I'm a 2XL guy, so I decided to order the 3XL instead. (I can always get them to shrink!) My colors were limited, but I found colors that I liked (dark green and blue.) Back-ordered until later this month, but that's okay. Will come in handy on our next Alaska vacation.
All of these deals are tempting, and it's easy to overspend and things I don't NEED. I always ask myself: If I saw this in a store, would I buy it? (Just a tip from an older gentleman.) I would definitely pick-up two of these at $6 each. Thanks Wooters.
sweet.. I got 4 zipper hoodies and 2 regular for under $40.. that's cheaper than Walmart..
Awesome deal. All codes worked fine for me too. 3 on their way for $18. I sure do love me some hoodie.
WHOA Great deal i bought a mixture of 10 Zipped and Pull over for $55 .. All Codes worked

So that's an EXTRA 4% savings !
Awesome. I got two pairs of sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and a zip hoodie for $30 shipped. The stacked codes worked. However, the link supplied takes me to a page that says the site is down for maintenance. If that happens, just go to the main site (www.hanes.com) and that should work.
2 Hooded SweatShirts one for Me and One for my 9 Year Old Son 12.22 Total! All Codes Worked, Thanks for the Tip!!!
In for 3! All the coupons worked, thanks!
Go through ebates to get an extra 4% off!
Thanks Hanes, all 3 coupons worked!
I just bought two hoodies and all three codes worked. Outstanding deal
@connallmac: If you wear larger than a 3x a hoodie would make you too warm anyways.
Great deal. All codes worked. 2 hoodies for $12.19, plus got another 6% with Mr. Rebates, and 15 with my rewards card. Final price: $11.46. Sweet!
Thanks for posting!
Awesome deal, Dude. My husband buys these for his business and we 23 for $118.99! This would have ordinarily costs us well over $400. Thanks.
The promotion code you have entered is not available at this time. Please try again later.
When trying to add the 25% off entire order. Other 2 added correctly. Anyone else getting this?
@willatazl: yep, I'm getting the same thing. Thought maybe I was just not doing something right.
blah, looks like the 25% off might be dead now then.
no go on the 25% :( ..but all in all a good deal just the same.
Yeah, the 25% and the 20% off most expensive item seems dead. Only $1.99 shipping works for me. Hesitating on whether to get items now.
HA! The site is down for maintenance. Lame.
I just shopped here again (10 PM EST) and the reports are true -- the 25% off code no longer works, but you can still get 20% your highest priced item, and shipping for $1.99. We did some shopping for my wife - 2 hoodies (men's small), 4 pair of women's sweatpants, and a fancy-schmancy ladies sweatshirt, all for around $45 shipped. Still a great deal, with so many items on clearance.
I just got an email update on my order saying it was cancelled. Worst "Deal" ever.
Ordered last night my order was just canceled with no explanation

Hi All
I discovered I like shooting panos and want to get a Nodal Ninja. There are some handhelds at http://www.flickr.com/photos/allan_s...7621797537731/.
I'm going to be using a Nikon D90 and Tamron 28-75mm lens initially and I've more or less managed to figure out that I need an NN3 with an EZ leveller but I'm damned if I can work out which one. What I want is to be able to do buildings, interiors, and a bit of scenery, where one portrait format row is not enough, but I'm not wanting to do spheres.
Is there an introductory text anywhere which explains what the implications of the different detents are, and how they relate to degrees and the coverage one can get. I found tables which should tell me all I need to know, but I basically need help in decoding them.
Sorry if the question is stupid.
Thanks, Allan.

Has anyone experience of setting up MOSS 2007 to optimise for mobile devices? How can I get up to speed on support for mobile devices? What does Sharepoint offer out of the box?
(would some kind person with rep add some tags e.g. mobile iphone pda)
If you are using WCM features of MOSS the best way is to do with variations, OTherwise we need to go ahead with the /m version of each site. this can be customizable also
Those are all probably great options. Here is a pure SharePoint 2007 option for you to start quick and see for yourself:
This will display the default text version of the page that SharePoint generates for you.
If you investigate further, I believe there are a few options when creating lists and pages that allow you to create a more mobile friendly version.
It might also be worth checking out a product called Mobile Entree, http://www.mobileentree.com/, which provides a rich cross device mobile interface on to SharePoint.
OOB SharePoint 2007 is not that good on mobile devices. For iPhone there are several apps or you can browse as normal.
For instance check out iShare in the app store.

"I've had this vehicle for about 4 months now and I love this car! I consistently get around 35 mpg (give or take away 5 mpg) combined city/highway. Although I drive mainly streets since I live in SF I bet the mileage would've been high if I took more freeways. Anyways I think the inside looks nice nothing exciting, but I spruced the car up myself (such as chair bead, new green headliner, green seats, and led party lights on the floor lol. Anyways this car is also reliable and had no break downs or anything acting up on me. If your in the market to look for a great fuel economy or relialbility, then this is your car! =)"

"I love this car. I bought it used in 2001. It had 38,000 miles on it then. Now it has 118,000. I drove it across the country in it several times. I used it to communte in Orange County traffic. It's very reliable. All I've needed to replace were the tires, battery. timing belt and a broken window. It's got great pep, drives fast, has great mileage. I don't like driving any other cars. I don't have to worry about people stealing it. Only down side is people do make fun of it and it doesn't look that good professionally when I show up to job sites or meetings in it. There loss, they're just jealous cause I'm the one laughing at them at the gas pump and squeezing into the tight parking spots."

Almost no low end torque and the driver must row the car around town on the gear box but on the open road, between 45 and 75 mph it's in its element. Almost nothing is quicker up HWY 1 to Big Sur.

I get the impression that WW is one of the few companies that made RPGs that is still financially viable without relying on some other product line (Munchkin in the case of SJGames), but that could be based on ignorance. Did WW get bought out because it was a valuable purchase or because they were looking for a buyer?

White Wolf themselves described it as more of a merger¹ as did CCP². WWG are the junior partner in that merger, but in joining with a computer games company, they are no longer reliant upon the vagaries of the market for RPG's. CCP has steady revenue, but needs more story developers than they can afford full time; WWG lacks steady revenue, like most RPG companies, but has steady supply for developers.
I don't know if they've ever been close to bankruptcy, but mergers are not normally a response to serious indebtedness. I do recall there was a financial hurt after Rein•Hagen left...

Suppose $f$ is a Morse function on a Riemannian Hilbert manifold $M$. Let $p_{\pm}\in \text{Crit}(f)$ be given and fix some $u:R\rightarrow M$ which is an integral curve of $-\nabla f$ connecting $p_-$ and $p_+.$ Is it true that there is an open contractible set $U\subseteq M$ containing the image of $u$?
Yes, this follows from what's usually called the "$\epsilon$-neighbourhood theorem" in textbooks like Guillemin and Pollack's Differential Topology.
Specifically, given a submanifold $N$ of a manifold $M$ there is an open neighbourhood $V$ of $N$ in $M$ which is diffeomorphic to a vector bundle over $N$. So $V$ is open in $M$.
I believe versions of this theorem appears in Milnor's Topology from a differentiable viewpoint and Hirsch's Differential Topology.
The only restriction on this theorem is that $N$ can not be a manifold with boundary. It can be a non-compact manifold with empty boundary. But it's perfectly fine for $N$ not to be closed in $M$. The proof of this theorem is basically the same as the tubular neighbourhood theorem, except you give up on the idea of having a uniform injectivity radius for the normal bundle's exponential map, and you let the injectivity radius vary smoothly along $N$.

Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
This book explores how developing-country governments have institutionalized ties with emigrants and their descendents. It offers an unprecedented taxonomy of 45 diaspora-engaging institutions found in 30 developing countries, exploring their activities and objectives. It also provides important practitioner insights from Mali, Mexico, and the Philippines.
In the next two decades, the world will face two major — and opposing — demographic challenges: rapid population growth and rapid population aging. In an increasingly economically interdependent world, policymakers will simultaneously face a strain on resources caused by population growth and a shortage of labor spurred by the graying of the population.
This pocket guide compiles some of the most credible, accessible, and user-friendly government and non-governmental data sources pertaining to U.S. and international migration. The guide also includes additional links to relevant organizations, programs, research, and deliverables, along with a glossary of frequently used immigration terms.
This report provides a global look at circular migration experiences, depicts various governments' attempts at creating circular migration, evaluates the economic costs and benefits of circular migration for sending and receiving countries, identifies components of effective bilateral agreements, and reviews outcomes governments might realistically expect from their circular migration policies.
This brief takes a look at hometown associations (HTAs)—immigrant organizations based on a common hometown—and their often overlooked function as integration intermediaries in their country of destination.

5 Incredible Sensory Superpowers You Didn't Know You Have
Fiction loves to explore the crazy idea of humans having some kind of magical "sixth sense" (like in that Bruce Willis movie, The Fifth Element) but that's kind of silly, considering how we barely use the senses we have.
We've mentioned before that your body is chock full of "extra" senses that you don't even realize you're using -- amazing tools granted to us by evolution that we now largely ignore. Science is just now beginning to uncover the human brain's almost supernatural ability to gather information about the world, and has found ...
#5. You Can Sense Whether a Smile Is Fake ... Before It Even Happens
Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Warning: Knowing the following may ruin every future social interaction.
You've probably heard statistics about how more than 90 percent of communication is nonverbal, and you've heard stories about people who can detect lies with perfect accuracy, due to microscopic twitches in the other person's face. All of it points to the fact that the brain's facial recognition skills are way more amazing than what you give it credit for.
Keith Brofsky/Photodisc/Getty Images
Which is why "avoid eye contact" remains the gold standard for dodging fart-blame.
With that in mind, researchers from Bangor University did an experiment that discovered two things: One, there is a distinct difference between a genuine smile and a fake one, and two, your brain can spot the difference ... before you even see it.
The researchers took pairs of strangers and glued a bunch of electrical sensors all over their faces, then had the newly wired participants talk each other up. What they found is that, when a smile is genuine, we engage a completely different set of facial muscles than we do when we force our faces to contort into what the researchers called a "polite smile," or what we like to refer to as our "fuck off smile." And though these subtle muscle movements around our eyes are supposedly imperceptible without plugging our faces into complicated science machines, percept them we damn well do. When we detect that a genuine smile is imminent, we begin to return said genuine smile before the person we're interacting with even so much as manages to flash a single pearly white. So, basically, each and every one of us is a smile psychic. But only when the forthcoming smile is genuine.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
Just try not to overthink it.
That's right -- subjects were unable to anticipate a fake smile. Also, when one subject gave a genuine smile, they got a genuine one in return. When their smile was fake, so was the responding smile. In other words, a genuine smile and a fake smile -- though identical on the surface -- are treated as completely different expressions by the brain. Likewise, a separate study found that we're not actually fooled by fake laughter, either -- on some level your uncle knows his racist jokes are only getting polite fake laughs, but he just doesn't care.
NA/Photos.com/Getty Images
"We've never showed genuine emotion at Thanksgiving so far. I figured, why start now?"
You might find yourself wondering why we bother faking smiles at all. Why maintain this fiction that pleasant feelings can be faked? Why not just be up front and let our expressions reflect what we're feeling inside? It's because once you start asking questions like that, all of the rules of polite society will come crashing down. A sudden wave of total honesty would be the one disaster our civilization could not endure.
#4. Women Can Smell When Other Women Are Ovulating (and They Want to Fight Them)
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
As we've mentioned before, a man is able to sense when a woman is ovulating -- and thus at her most fertile -- and will unconsciously adjust his behavior accordingly, usually by sidling up to the bar and saying something to the effect of, "Is Heaven missing an angel? Because I couldn't help but notice that my penis is huge." But women, it turns out, are also able to use their noses to detect when each other are in prime mating form. And knowing that another woman is ovulating makes them want to throw down in a completely different way.
Obviously, there was no non-creepy way to do this experiment, so researchers just went for broke. Scientists at Florida State University had female participants sniff the T-shirts of other women ("Slower," said the researcher. "Sniff it slower.") -- some of them worn by women during the high fertility phase of their monthly cycle, others during their low fertility phase.
Comstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"OK, now science needs to know how much of a beaker you can fit in your mouth."
Researchers then measured the testosterone levels of the shirt snufflers and found that these women reacted exactly the way the men did -- smelling ovulation kicked up testosterone levels, smelling low fertility shirts made them drop. And as anyone who's ever watched a professional football player brutally annihilate someone from the opposing team (or a middle school boy vigorously dry hump an anime pillow) can tell you, testosterone is a powerful thing. In women, just like men, testosterone drives up the desire to compete and/or fight, depending on the circumstances.
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
"Does it smell like a bitch about to get stabbed in here, or is it just you?"
Now put a bunch of men and women together in close quarters, and the guys start showing off for the ovulating women and get aggressive with each other, and the other women start trying to compete ... yeah we're thinking the deodorant industry was all a secret project intended to prevent wars.
#3. Women May Be Able to Spot a Cheater Just by Looking ... and Smell His STDs
deeepblue/iStock/Getty Images
So as you can already see, when it comes to sex, there is a whole range of invisible signals being sent along back channels that you didn't even know existed. Evolution has granted us all sorts of tools for filtering mates that don't register at all on the conscious mind -- sometimes you just get an icky feeling about somebody.
AnaBGD/iStock/Getty Images
Other times you need to have a look at their browser history first.
For example, researchers at the University of Western Australia did an experiment where they polled some subjects about how faithful they were in their last relationship. Once they had a group of faithful and non-faithful partners, they took their photos and showed them to a different group and asked them to play a game of "spot the cheater." Remember, they knew nothing else about the person in the photo -- they couldn't talk to them, or smell them, or observe their mannerisms to see if they were walking funny or something. The result: From a photo alone, women could correctly guess whether a man was a cheater 62 percent of the time. You might think that's just slightly better than flipping a coin, but note that the males could only do it with a 23 percent success rate. And while it was just one small study, this falls in line with what we already know about how many snap judgments we make based on things like the shape of someone's face. It kind of makes you wonder how often we get an accurate subconscious feeling about someone, but then talk ourselves out of it.
decisiveimages/iStock/Getty Images
"Nah, he probably just works for Cutco."
Wait, it gets weirder!
Russian researchers collected the armpit sweat from 34 men, some of whom had gonorrhea, some of whom didn't, and some who'd had gonorrhea in the past but had recovered. They then asked healthy women to sniff the different vials of sweat, and to rate them on a 10-point scale, along with descriptors like "putrid" and "floral." The gonorrhea sufferers, sure enough, consistently smelled worse to the women. Again, this was one small study, but it would make sense -- the species would have needed a way to try to steer clear of sexually transmitted diseases long before anyone invented condoms or high school health classes.
This would also explain why, despite the fact that evolution has created all sorts of natural scents intended to attract the opposite sex, we still prefer artificial colognes, deodorants, and Axe Body Sprays: It's because our natural scents contain all sorts of other information we don't want getting out there. Better cover that shit up!

A while ago I put Ubuntu on my Windows computer. It was awesome, for a while. One day I restart my computer and it boots with an error message.
error: No such device ###############################
I couldn't boot to Windows or Ubuntu anymore... When I finally acquired a Live boot CD. I reinstalled grub2 and tried to boot again, but of course it's not configured to boot to anything (still need to figure out how to do that). What is strange is that when I run
sudo fdisk -l from the Live CD terminal I get:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda2 25201 30402 41771008 7 HPFS/NTFS
This certainly looks like my hardrive. I have around 200GB dedicated to Windows and 50 to Ubuntu, but why is Ubuntu NTFS? When I try exploring my Ubuntu partition I can't find much (Windows files are fine though). I'll happily give you more information if you ask.

Hi I've just built a wood fire oven at home and I want to know how to get he pizza crust soft? Any tips for success with traditional Italian-style bread? Some people say to put sugar in and other people say not to.
Italian pizza crumb must be soft (morbida, as Italians say) in its inner part (the one below the tomato sauce), and its outer rim can be more or less crispy.
You can check the requisite for being soft at this link from the Vera Pizza Napolitana association (check the "Description of the product"):
The outer part can be crunchier or softer, depending on your taste. It will depend on the strength (W value) of the flour. You can check it in this Italian pizza flour manufacturer.
Using a longer fermentation time will extract more taste from the flour. That's why a crunchier outer rim is usually associated with tastier pizzas.
That long fermentation also helps the dough been extensible and not stretching back, which is desirable when you are shaping the pizza. I wrote more details on it in this answer on pizza flours.
In order to achieve a soft center, the pizza is done in a very little time (from 60 to 90 seconds). To get this, you need a very hot oven (over 450ºC / 900ºF).
It is difficult to get a thermometer that measures that temperature (most infrared ones usually can't measure over 350ºC). You can check if the oven is too hot throwing flour in it. If it catches fire (in less than 5 seconds) then it's too hot. If it just gets dark, then it's ok. After using this method, remember to remove the burnt flour, or it will give a bitter taste to the pizzas you'll later put on it.
To get the outer rim of the pizza rise like bread, you should have some flames in the oven. They will radiate a lot of heat, so you have to rotate the pizza 180º during its baking, so it will get done equally in all the border.
The flames should be in one side of the oven, never at the back. This way the air that enters to feed the flame will induce a rotating whirpool that helps the air in the oven to be hotter.
As the floor surface of the oven is very hot (>400ºC), the pizza you put in it won't actually be touching it: it will be floating on its own steam. That's why the bottom of the pizzas are not burnt.
You are asking about adding sugar or not.
Sugar is the food yeasts eat.
Flour has no sugar. But it has starches, which are molecules made of many sugar molecules together. Flour also has enzymes that can break the starches in sugar molecules. That happens when you add water to the flour, and the enzymes can move easily to do their work. But they need time to do so.
When you add flour, water and yeasts, the late ones have to wait a bit for their food. If you add sugar, they'll have food since the beginning (the sugar you added) to the end (the sugar from broken starches): sugar is added to make the dough fermentation in less time.
So, if you want a quick risen dough, add (a small quantity of) sugar. If you want a tasty one, don't.
Perhaps you should describe in more detail exactly what kind of pizza crust you desire--there are a lot of types or styles of pizza crust.
In most breads, soft crust is achieved by 1) not adding steam to the oven which enhances crust formation; and 2) brushing the crust with butter or milk after it comes out of the oven. The second would be very non-traditional for pizza, though.
The thing is, to the best of my personal knowledge, mostly people who build wood and coal fire ovens are after Neopolitan style pizza, which Serious Eats (linked) describes as:
The crust for this style of pizza is usually crunchy, not soft.
See the Serious eats article on preparing this kind of dough:
Their key points are:
Here are their recommended ratios (for US flour products, obviously):
By soft and tasty pizza crust I'm going to assume you mean crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside which is the characteristic of pizza dough cooked at high temperature in a wood fired oven. You need this high temperature to produce that crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
There's no magic or sorcery to good pizza dough. The ingredients really are very simple, good quality flour, water, salt, sugar and yeast. Please note the sugar is there to activate the yeast and allow it to grow it's not there for any other purpose other than that. Salt is there for flavour, but too much will kill the yeast.
The rest is up to you. Good quality pizza crust is all down to the kneading, resting period, kneading again and spreading to the required size and cooking at high temperature – it's this that determines whether your crust will be good or bad.
Sometimes in wood fired ovens with thicker crust pizzas by the time the inside cooks the outside is way to crunchy. You can put a pot of water in your oven or spritz water in to sort of steam cook just to keep things from getting to dry. You will still end up with soft inside and not over done outside.
I havnt tried in wood fired but for moist soft crumb powered milk is added to dough. Might be something to experiment with.

Does it make sense to talk about, say, the free division ring on 2 generators? If so, does the free division ring on countably many generators embed into the free division ring on two generators?
If you had a "free division ring" $F$ on a set $X$, and any division ring $R$, then any set theoretic map $X\to R$ would correspond to a unique division ring homomorphism $F\to R$. If $X$ has at least two elements $x\neq y$, let $R=\mathbb{Q}$. Then you cannot extend both a set theoretic map $f\colon X\to R$ that sends $x$ to $0$ and $y$ to $1$, and a set-theoretic map $g\colon X\to R$ that sends $x$ to $1$ and $y$ to $0$: division rings are simple, so any homomorphism must be either one-to-one or the zero map. (I put both maps, in case one wonders whether you can have $x$ correspond to the zero element of $F$). So, no, you cannot have "free division rings", much like you cannot have "free fields".
There is a notion of free division ring, due to Paul Cohn. I don't know a good online reference, but this AMS bulletin article talks about the construction and gives references. They go by the name of "free skew field" rather than "free division ring".
In the usual category of division rings and ring homomorphisms, there is no free division ring in the sense of category theory, but Cohn's free division rings are pretty close. If you consider the category of division rings with specializations as morphisms, then Cohn's construction gives you precisely the free objects.
Let $D, D'$ be division rings. Then a specialization is a homomorphism $R \to D'$, where $R$ is a subring which generates $D$ as a division ring. (In other words, the smallest division ring within $D$ containing $R$ is $D$ itself.) Specializations are a reasonably natural idea. For example, let $C$ be the complex numbers, and $C(x)$ be the field of rational functions over $C$. Then all specializations between $C(x)$ and $C$ are given by sending $p(x)$ in $C(x)$ to the value $p(a)$ for some $a$ in $C$. This is not defined for all rational functions, but only for the rational functions that don't have a pole at $a$.
If you restrict to the category of fields over a fixed base field $k$ and specializations, the free fields are just of the form $k(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$, where $x_1, \ldots, x_n$ are indeterminates. In the noncommutative case, you get something much more complicated, but free division rings can be realized as subrings of the noncommutative analogue of Laurent series.

Roswell Cash for Gold
ROSWELL - The Greater Atlanta area now has a place where local consumers can bring their valuable jewelry and convert it into cash for a very small fee.
Gwinnett Gold Brokers of Buford is using the great amount of success they experienced over the last five years to upgrade their facilities to better serve their clientele. They're now able to refine their customers' jewelry in-house. This ultimately enables them to pay their clients even more than they were able to pay them in the past.
Our long term, extensive coverage of the local gold buying and selling market overwhelmingly indicates that gold dealers typically pay consumers far less than 50% of market value for their jewelry. In fact, "Cash for Gold" storefronts throughout Greater Atlanta very often keep over 80% of their customers' money by misrepresenting the purity of their gold, the market value of their gold and even the weight of their customers' gold jewelry and other precious metals.
Gwinnett Gold Brokers is the only business that consistently gives customers accurate information regarding purity, weight and market value. They also compensate their clients never less than 80% of the true market value of their jewelry.
So, the next time you're considering selling any amount of gold, jewelry or other precious metals - we recommending doubling the amount you're going to receive by dealing directly with a refinery when-ever possible and cutting out the middle-men. Chances are, if you can afford to give away more than half the value of your expensive jewelry, you probably don't really need to sell it in the first place.
The ALL NEW "Atlanta Gold Refinery" can be reached at (404) 759-7277 for more information. Their first location will be open in Lilburn shortly, and future locations will be open in the Mall of Georgia area, Buckhead, Midtown Atlanta and Alpharetta.More...
ROSWELL - In past years, Gwinnett Gold Brokers near the Mall of Georgia has primarily focused their business on purchasing gold, jewelry and other precious metals in all forms & conditions from "We Buy Gold" and "Cash for Gold" dealers. Some of these dealers work directly with refineries, but many are unable to do so for what ever reason - so they have to sell their inventory to brokers who charge a small percentage like Gwinnett Gold Brokers in Buford.
In recent months, the price consumers have been receiving for their valuable property has dropped to unconscionable levels while the market price of gold and other precious metals continues to rise steadily. Three to five dollars per gram for fourteen-karat gold seems to be the going rate, at least at the half dozen or so "We Buy Gold" dealers in and around the Mall of Georgia.
Gwinnett Gold Brokers usually pays dealers one dollar per gram per karat, depending on market prices. This means that a 14k gold necklace or bracelet that weighs about an ounce (or the approximate weight of a silver dollar) brings better than $14 per gram or $500 for the item from GGB. The local area dealers would pay $93 to $155 for the same item, while advertising and claiming that they pay "Top Dollar" or "Highest Prices."
These gold dealers are making such huge profits from their current price schedule that they continue to open more and more stores even today. And they're getting great deals on commercial rent from the more than half empty strip malls that exist just about everywhere.
Newspapers and local & national television news crews have done many stories on GGB over the years, and often when news producers need current information on the local gold market - they turn to GGB for related information of the highest integrity.
Where is GGB located? They have owned their own commercial property in Buford for over a decade, but in recent years - a sub-division has emerged in front of the company's property. This gives the appearance that it's a temporary, unprofessional operation being run out of somebody's basement. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the owners have interest in many storefronts around Atlanta. They simply prefer the safety, comfort and elegance of their present location and wouldnt have it any other way. Anyone objecting to the lack of formality of a storefront may feel more comfortable dealing with one of the endless "We Buy Gold" dealers seemingly popping up everywhere.
Call the professionals at Gwinnett Gold Brokers today to find out more. (770) 831-6795

CIAC ruling on Wolcott expected to come today
Wolcott High football coach Jason Pace will have to wait at least another day to find out on whether he will be exonerated from any wrongdoing following the Eagles' lopsided 61-6 win over Sacred Heart.
The CIAC imposed a score management, sportsmanship rule in 2006, stating there can't be a 50-point margin of victory.
The CIAC subcommittee, spearheaded by Paul Hoey, the assistant executive director of the CIAC, and LeRoy Williams, the CIAC football chairman, was still awaiting a game report late Monday afternoon to be filed by game referee Sean O'Brien, according to Joel Cookson, the CIAC media information director.
Wolcott officials filed its report last Saturday, the morning after the game, while Sacred Heart officials sent a report to the CIAC Monday morning. All three reports must be viewed before a decision is rendered. Should the committee rule in favor of Pace, he would be allowed to coach the Eagles Friday at Naugatuck. If they don't rule in his favor, Pace would have to sit out the game.
In 2012, Joel Barlow of Redding defeated Immaculate, 56-0, but the CIAC subcommittee didn't take any action against the head coach. A week later, Norwich Free Academy topped Stamford, 51-0. The NFA coach was suspended for one game when the NFA principal chose to have a self-imposed penalty.

Is there a function $f:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}^+$ s.t. its series $\Sigma_{i=0}^\infty f(n)$ diverges but the series for all function in $o(f)$ converge?
No. Suppose $\sum_{i=0}^\infty f(i)=\infty$. Then we can find values $N_j\in \mathbb N$ such that $$\sum_{i=N_j}^{N_{j+1}-1}f(i)>1$$ for all $j\in\mathbb N$. Define $g:\mathbb N\to\mathbb R^+$ by $$g(i)=\begin{cases}f(i) &\text{if } i<N_1\\ \frac{1}{2}f(i) &\text{if } N_1\leq i<N_{2}\\ \frac{1}{3}f(i) &\text{if } N_2\leq i<N_{3}\\ &\vdots \end{cases}$$ and note that $g\in o(f)$ yet $\sum_{i=0}^\infty g(i)\geq \sum_{j=1}^\infty \frac{1}{j}=\infty$.
Sadly, no such function can exist. For suppose $f$ is such a function. Define the partial sums: $$F(n) := \sum_{i=0}^n f(n) $$ Then you can find a function that diverges more slowly, say: $$ G(n) := \sqrt{F(n)} $$ This new $G$ is increasing, so you it is the sequence of the partial sums for $g$ given as: $$ g(n) = G(n) - G(n-1) $$ It remains to check that $g = o(f)$: $$ \frac{g(n)}{f(n)} = \frac{G(n) - G(n-1)}{G(n)^2 - G(n-1)^2} = \frac{1}{G(n) + G(n-1)} < \frac{1}{G(n)} = o\left(1\right)$$ where the $o(1)$ approximation follows from divergence of $G$.
Here's a related question with great answers on MO:
Nonexistence of boundary between convergent and divergent series?

Artist Spotlight: Kris Knight
Kris Knight is a Canadian painter whose work examines androgyny, psychotropic alterations, and the post-modern gaze. Knight paints characters that are lost between youth and adulthood. His mythical and ambiguous portraits are a blend of fantasy and real-world memory. Knight's works strides between a contradicting palette of sensual primaries and ghostly pastels, reflecting his interest in 18th Century French portraiture.
I often paint my characters in isolated settings because I want the primary focus of the composition to be on the intensity of the character's expression and gaze. My paintings often come across to others as sad simply because my characters are usually alone. I think this confusion relates to my early feelings of isolation in my youth growing up gay in rural Canada, because although I felt alone a lot, I didn't necessarily feel sad.

How much lateral play do you have on you NN5 upper rail mounting plate?
The plate seems to be a lot narrower than the rail guides.
How much?
My setup:
Nikon D90
Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 @20mm F8
First I tightened the mounting plate to my camera as tight as I could, so that should not distort the measurement.
Took photos at the extremes and measured the distance in Photoshop.
Comes out to 1.611406066 degrees which doesn't seem like much but that's 102 pixels! On a higher res camera it'll be even more pixels.
Combined with the play of the standard NN5 mounting plate (I plan to order the CP2 but I have to order it from abroad as no NN products are available in my country) that's a lot of play which is hard, nay, almost impossible to calibrate while in the field.
Gives me headaches while stitching.
Could someone measure theirs? Maybe just my copy is bad?

What constitutes a Streak Bonus? This is in relation to obtaining the Combat Efficiency Ribbon, which states that you have to obtain 3 Streak Bonuses in a round.
The wording on the bonus is really silly (same goes for the Nemesis ribbon). Once you get 5 kills, you're considered to be a on Combat Efficiency streak. Your 6th kill gives you a 1 streak bonus, 7th kill gives you 2 streak bonus and 8th gives you a 3 streak bonus and hence the ribbon.
It is possible to get multiple ribbons in the one life. Once you have got the first one, (I think) you will get the next one for every 3 subsequent kills in that life.
So if you go on a 23 kill streak you are going to 6 get of these ribbons (8 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3)
Combat Efficiency Ribbon 500 XP Bonus. Get 3 Kill Streaks in one round. To get a streak, you need to kill 8 times in a row without dying yourself. Get 3 Kill Streaks of 8 to unlock this ribbon, try playing on infantry heavy maps to increase your chances early on.
After 5 kills without dying, every 3rd thereafter is considered to extend the 'streak'.
Thus, to get three in a row, it would be 14 kills. (5 +3 +3 +3 = 14)

Hey folks.
I appreciate that many of you encounter a host of threads akin to this one, always asking the same thing, but I am hopeful that I will avoid asking questions with most obvious answers.
On a preliminary mark, a little background info about myself.
I am 22, just graduated LLB and I live in an area where the game industry is nearly absent. Due to my degree, my 'monetary reserves' took a major hit, so it is not amongst my options to move away immediately. I need some time to save some money. Now, I understand that resting on my laurels in the meantime is not going to get me into the industry, so naturally it would be prudent to engage in some, actually rather enjoyable, creative activity. Now this is where I have problems.
It is, it seems to me, unanimously accepted that one requires a degree and a portfolio in order to stand a chance to enter the industry with the current climate therein. My education is legal, it is not creative, and as I understand this fact delimits the choices I, realistically, have in terms of a route of entry.
I have done the preponderance of my learning as an autodidact, so I am not intimidated by having to rock in a corner and learn from a book, but there is a limit to what I can do. Computing is a knowledge-based discipline, whereas art design is predominantly skill-based. I, lamentably, have no artistic skill, so that is out of the question.
Regarding the portfolio, I am a bit puzzled as to what is acceptable, works of what nature, that is. From the top of my head, I can think of the following as potential items in a portfolio:
-Functional or semi-functional games
-Design documents
-Literary (fictional) writings
-Academic writings
-Game critique (reviews)
-News articles
-Industry analysis
This is not an exhaustive list, I understand, and with a bit of effort one can find additional categories. I would like to function as a producer, a designer, if you will, in the industry at the end of my career. Given my aptitudes, some of the aforesaid items are more and some are less difficult for me to produce and naturally some are more tightly intertwined with my goal occupation. In light of this, would you recommend, nevertheless, that I attempt to create a diverse portfolio, or should I concentrate on my strengths?
I don't understand the game industry as well as many here do, the very people who are already within, so I feel I must ask what you would recommend considering my strengths?
I am, predominantly, a 'thoughts person'. I ready extensively on a wide spectrum of topics and I have, at least superficial, knowledge of most things that games touch on expressly or impliedly. I mean, I like the humanities, history, philosophy, literature, I like sociology and psychology. I've read the overwhelming majority of freely available academic material on games, I love mythology, bioethics, current philosophical issues. In other words, all the idea stuff. I have also concentrated mainly on intellectual property modules during my studies, choosing all elective ones that I could, which includes copyright, media law and trade marks and patents, so that is who I am. Naturally, writing an article, academic or otherwise, or a design document or something would come more easily to me, but is it wise?
I don't want to sound narcissistic, I am not. I merely included this information so that, should you be willing, you can respond accurately based on it.
If I have left anything relevant out, please do remind me.
Thank you in advance.

Cape Malay cuisine
A Gatsby sandwich, photo courtesy Warren Rohner
So I'm a guy who lives in Cape Town. But it's not that simple, I'm not just a guy, I'm a Gatsby-loving, Edward Street visiting, Long Street club hopping, Clifton tanning, sushi eating, samoosa devouring, red-blooded Cape Malay boykie.
I have heard that Cape Malay is the "in" cuisine right now. What? A koeksister on a Sunday morning is international cuisine? I've become a culinary rockstar, all of a sudden my mother's breyani (curried fish/meat and rice) doesn't look that bland because, hey, it's now a recognised cuisine!
And would you believe that you can go on a Cape Malay cooking safari? What? So do they go and watch some wild daltjies (chilli bites) in cages?
It's strange how all these foods that are the staple of so many Capetonians have become international attractions.
All this talk of food has got me thinking how good a Golden Dish Gatsby would be right now.

At NYU, faculty housing is a critical strategic resource that has supported NYU's development
into a national research university. NYU's rental housing has helped the University to create a
residential urban academic campus with members of its faculty living and working in New York
City--one of the most dynamic but expensive housing markets in the world.
We continue to seek opportunities to expand NYU's rental stock and to improve the configuration of apartments. We aim as well to create a diverse menu of housing options that are designed to make home ownership possible for some members of our faculty currently in University rental housing, for example, the 2006 Home Ownership Program and the Riverwalk Landing Condominium project on Roosevelt Island.
While we will continue efforts to develop home ownership options, NYU's rental stock will
remain central to our faculty housing program. Currently, about half of our full time faculty of
2,1521 reside in rental housing. Although NYU's rental resources are substantial, they are not
sufficient to address all our housing needs. Given our limited resources, it is important for the NYU community to understand the University's housing policies and priorities, and how they are
Housing policies are established in the same manner as other major University policies. Policies are approved by the President and the Board of Trustees, following consultation with senior administrators and the Schools through their Deans. Housing policy is recommended and implemented by two key senior administrative committees – the Housing Committee and the Housing Task Force. For advice on housing issues, members and staff of these committee meet regularly with members of the Faculty Senators Council.
The Housing Committee is charged with making decisions involving the assignment of faculty
apartments in a manner designed to support, recruit and retain the full time faculty of the University according to University priorities informed by the Deans of the Schools. The Housing Committee also decides such matters as: length of residency, sublets, mortgage agreements and the like. The Housing Committee includes the Provost, the Senior Vice President for Health, and the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, with crucial support provided by the Vice President for Faculty Housing and Residential Services, and the Vice President for Administration.
The Housing Task Force provides guidance on long-term strategic initiatives and deployment of
University housing priorities, recommends modifications in faculty housing policies to meet
priorities, and recommends rent rates. The Task Force includes members of the Housing
Committee as well as the Executive Vice President, the Vice President for Facilities & Construction Management, and other senior administrators.
To best utilize its limited housing resources, the University has established priorities for new
housing assignments.
Overall, our highest priority is to house tenured and tenure track faculty2, together with a few senior administrators and those staff who must be near campus to support the health and safety of members of our community.
Within tenured and tenure track faculty, the top priority is to house new faculty who will be
joining NYU and who do not have housing in the metropolitan area. Almost equal priority is
given to existing faculty who are of high retention importance as determined by the Deans of
each School. The next priority is to try to respond to requests to move to different or larger
apartments from faculty who are already in NYU's rental housing. In each category of
assignment, priority is given to those faculty members who are central to the academic priorities of the University and the academic plans of the individual Schools (as determined by the Deans).
Meeting the above needs usually exhausts all available housing resources, but on those rare
occasions when the University is able to accommodate requests from other groups, it does so in the following order of priority:
The NYU Off-Campus Housing Office3 assists those who cannot be accommodated in University
housing by maintaining a database of listings for private (non-NYU affiliated) apartments that is
used to search by preferred locations, property types, sizes and cost ranges.
For visiting faculty, accommodations are drawn from three sources: a small number of designated apartments; the sublet of apartments of faculty on leave; and apartments that are decommissioned pending renovation and are available for a specified (usually short) period of time.
Principal residence: University apartments must be the principal residence of the
University employees who occupy them. Continuing documentation of principal
residence status is a requirement.
All of the events that can affect NYU's ability to offer housing to its faculty can never be
anticipated fully. Accordingly, NYU must reserve the right to review and modify housing
policies at its sole discretion.
We recognize the critical importance of rental housing to our continued development as a
distinguished research university, and our ability to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and
strong graduate students and postdoctoral associates. Given our location in the heart of New
York City, and the high costs and vagaries of the city's rental market, we face special challenges in providing adequate housing and comfortable homes. We know that our housing supply will probably never be large enough or varied enough to meet all our needs. We are however, aggressively and continually seeking new rental properties, assessing our housing policies, and considering new ownership options and financing mechanisms.

Have you experienced fraud on eBay?
Been on ebay 14 1/2 years. Never had any problems that weren't resolved to my satisfaction. Until now.
Was trying to buy my wife a gift. Found what looked to be a good deal, not "too good to be true" but decent. Threw a bid on it without thinking. Won the bid.
(continued in comments)

At that time, I realized that I should have checked the feedback. It was all positive, but it was only 5, and they were all from the prior week, for the same item. Warning bell #1. Then I went to pay for it - paypal said the account wasn't accepting money. I contacted the seller, they said they had a "limited paypal account" and it would work if I tried it the next day. Weird, I thought, bout OK. Warning bell #2.
At that point I should have just abandoned the transaction and taken any hit on feedback (I have 100% positive) but felling like I was obligated, I paid the $275. And then I never heard from the seller again. It's only been about a week, and I kept telling myself that everything will be OK, I'm just paranoid. Then last night I get an email from eBay saying the listing had been removed, and that if I hadn't paid yet, I should not. Oops. Today I noticed that not only was the auction removed, but the seller was no longer a member either. Ouch.
So... I went ahead and filed a claim in the resolution center. Supposedly I'm guaranteed to either get the item or my money back at some point. But that's the rub - this is a Christmas gift. It's sorta time-critical.
So eBay won't even LOOK at it until 7 days have passed. They consider that the mandatory "work things out with the seller" period. Even though they kicked the seller out of the marketplace, I'm supposed to "work it out". Right. Then, reading their terms/conditions, it sounds like this could go on for weeks and weeks after that point.
So, I bit the bullet tonight and bought the item again, from a (hopefully!) reputable online storefront. I'm really hoping that the original item doesn't arrive at my door anytime soon, as I sure don't need two of them...
Anyone else gone through dispute resolution with eBay? How long did it take you?
A few years ago I bought a vacuum-filtration thing that was never delivered and paypal refused to help. So I used a charge back. To this day I am not allowed to send/receive money with paypal and debt collectors call me. Hasn't affected my credit at all so I refuse to pay out of principle.
Before that I tried to buy a laptop on ebay and the guy took weeks to send it claiming a black mold problem. Turns out he was just wasting my window for a dispute since he sent a different model. Paypal did refund about 1/2 of that purchase, took about 3 weeks.
@panthiest: I looked on PayPal - they had a note on the transaction saying that since it's an eBay auction I needed to go through eBay dispute resolution. Ugh.
@tsfisch: Ah, that must have changed since I've been able to use paypal. Sorry mate.
several times, most of them at least 5 years ago. Items never shipped, wrong items and seller refuses to fix the problem, etc. The larger items I got screwed everytime, by both paypal and ebay. I now ONLY ever use a credit card through paypal, so I can do a chargeback if I'm getting scammed.
I have had two instances of fraud, one was resolved the other not. About 6 years ago, I won an auction for a strat bridge to replace mine (trem arm broke), and the lady never shipped it. After a month or so of hemming and hawing around, getting one BS excuse after another (each one contradicting everything else), I told her that I was filing a fraud report with eBay, and looking into filing mail fraud charges. Next thing I know, I had a strat bridge overnighted to me. The other one, was around same time frame. Won an auction for a cheapie sword, for reference on a game project I was working on. Guy with a good rating suddenly stopped shipping out items to anyone. A week after I won the auction, he gets a rash of negative feedback. I contact him, no response. I file a report with ebay and paypal. They rule in my favor, but the money back policy then sucked. He had emptied his paypal account, so no money for refund. For years I've had that as a outstanding unpaid case on paypal.
I have 700+ transactions some of them from other countries and i have fortunately only had to file one complaint and ebay did similar to your situation they deleted the item removed the seller and then we went through the process of returning my money. Seems like it took a couple of weeks to get it all processed. i love ebay...i do most if not all of my Christmas shopping on there.
DANG IT....clicked outside the window and my lengthy answer went POOF.
I had the exact same thing happen almost a year ago. Over $1200 on 8 items (1 transaction) from an overseas seller. I got my money back using the system in place, and although it was apparent that my items would never arrive, I understood eBay must wait to be certain. I also took a chance on a seller with a low number of feedback. I now realize how hard the "Top Rated" icon is to earn and maintain so I will spend a bit more if the same item is available from a trusted seller.
(answered shortened due to "outside the box clicking" frustration)
I have been an ebay member since 1998. I have never been a victim of fraud, once or twice I've had people not pay me, then bash me with negative feedback. other than that, it's been a smooth ride and a nice way to make a little extra money
@tsfisch: Do not settle for the online options for filing a claim in your situation. You need to call both eBay and Paypal on the phone since this is a time sensitive purchase and the seller has been suspended. I have run into many similar situations and a phone cal usually clears it up quickly.
First go into your eBay account and under the item you purchased, if still visible, click on "Resolve a Problem." When you get the pop-up there will be two windows to choose from, the second that sits behind the first is the one you want, select the contact eBay tab. On that tab is a window to click that says 'Call Us", click on that. You will get a pass-code to call eBay good for fifteen minutes. Call them and ask for the "Trust & Safety Department" they should be able to resolve it immediately. If not than call Paypal and dispute the charge and give them all the information.
Keep in mind that eBay, Paypal and Bill Me Later are all owned by eBay but none of them will ever be on the same page even though it is the same system when all of them look at the screen. Just ask me, I have been on eBay since day one and have seen it all.
@tsfisch: Paypal 402-935-2017
First, you should call eBay or PayPal if that's how you paid. If you talk to a person, they should be able to help you more quickly.
A few years ago I bought a Fred Perry shirt, and when it arrived it was an obvious fake. I contacted the seller, and they wanted me to pay to return it (that was what it said in their auction.... buyers pays return shipping). I said no way, it's not that I didn't like the shirt, it's that they sent me a counterfeit. I put in the dispute and waited. eBay (or, PayPal.. whichever it is at that point) was going to stand by the seller. I would need to pay to return it, then get my full refund. So, I called them. I explained to the lady on the phone it was a fraudulent item, and I was not going to pay to return something fraudent.
Ultimately, the woman credited my PayPal account the amount of money it was going to cost me to return the item. So returned the item and got my money back. I ended up even, which was what I wanted.
Yep. Both as a buyer and a seller. As a buyer it was pretty easy to get a resolution. I contacted Paypal, put the charge in dispute...refunded in a few days. Granted, this was four or five years ago.
As a seller, I got completely f'ed. Someone clearly damaged a book I sold them in order to get a partial refund. Took a knife down the spine, tried to claim I didn't describe the condition properly. Contacted eBay, and they pretty much told me that there was nothing I could do. Still, lesson learned. I'm going to document the packaging of everything I sell from here on out, so that if anyone tries to screw me again, I can prove that whatever damage there was wasn't my fault.
But yeah...fraud is extremely rampant. Especially with buyers these days. The site's become so buyer-centric that sellers have to automatically take the burden no matter what. Plenty of people try and take advantage of it.
My burn story ends a different way than most it seems. This was a few years ago, I understand they might have changed but I still limit my contact with eBay because of it. Quick version of the story, guy ripped me off. Collected payment, never sent item. So I filed a dispute. He claimed he never received payment. I provided proof, he changed his story to he sent the item. Long story short, I 'win' the dispute. But it doesn't end there.
eBay decides ok, you deserve a refund. Minus the inflated shipping charge, of course, and then minus a $25 fee for some reason. I'm the one ripped off, but I'm charged a fee. Allllrighty then. So, all told I'm out $44.50, of which eBay 'refunds' $4.50. To this day the guy is still there ripping people off.
Moral of the story, avoid anyone going by the name workbytes or work-bytes, he changed at one point.
Member since 2000, 8423 rating and 100% feedback. So far I've been able to resolve my few problems quickly, usually within a week. Good luck on yours.
@morriea: If you run Chrome try the "Comment Save" extension.
I've been buying on eBay since mid-1999; I've made just under 1000 purchases and have had only one case of fraud, and I'm hesitant even to call it that. The seller dealt in collectibles, had been selling for better than five years with a FB score just a hair under 100%, and lots of FB comments about her good customer service and prompt shipping. I ordered a small item (under $15) but didn't receive it. At that point, she began receiving solid negative FB, all for non-delivery. I got my money back fairly easily and quickly; it's been so long, though, that I don't remember the process involved.
I tend to think the "long-time seller suddenly disappears" scenario is probably a family tragedy of some sort, such as death or illness. There was quite a forum discussion years ago about a seller of very high-end artwork who disappeared; buyers eventually managed to track him down and learned he'd died.
The plot thickens. The seller has now provided "proof" that he's shipped the item (the day I filed the dispute, coincidentally).
So, best case, I'll have two items, and have to resell one of them (since as I noted, I already purchased one from another store so I'd have the gift for Christmas)
Worst case, he mails me a box of bricks (it's a somewhat heavy item), and it will be my word against his.
I don't like either option... was hoping for a refund.
@tsfisch: A lesson somewhat learned from woot! can help you with your issue, video unboxing. When in doubt, whip it out, the camera that is.
Does their proof include tracking? You could always refuse the package. The buyer is almost always found to be the victor on eBay. Even if the seller does not offer a refund you are still protected by eBay's protection policy. Just say the item was not as described and you win.
It never gets resolved overnight and may take up to 45 days, so hang in there.
Well upon further inspection the tracking number (FedEX) has been entered into their system, but there's no trace of them actually giving FedEx a package. I contacted the seller, and they got back to me for the first time since any of this happened and claimed it had been shipped.
So either FedEx is messing up, or they are. And I have my guesses.

I checked some online dictionary and found that the pronunciations of p in dispatch and dispatcher are a little different. What's the reason or pronunciation rule for this difference?

Dispatch (as a verb) has stress on the second syllable; dispatcher has stress on the first. English unvoiced stops [p], [t], and [k] are heavily aspirated at the start of a word, and somewhat in stressed syllables. Consider the difference between the first and second /t/ in potato.
I note that you're located in Beijing: consider Standard Mandarin, where there's no difference in voicing between 大 dà and 他 tā, where /d/ = [t] and /t/ = [tʰ].

Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5-Inch Solid State Hybrid Hard Drive… for $105.49 + free shipping
Out of stock but they will ship it when it comes in.
Not sure why the direct link doesn't show the discount. You can get the discount following this link. Will tattle on the deal to update.

It appears Amazon is selling it at this price, but it's temporarily out of stock. Good price, though.
I purchased 2 of the 500gb version in Early November from Amazon for $50 each (they were matching a NewEgg promo I think). They really do improve boot and shut down times very noticeably. One of them is whisper quiet, the other makes a noticeable noise when spinning, but I have not had any issues with either.
Also don't forget that these are 2.5 inch drives, so you may need a 2.5 to 3.5 converter if installing it in a desktop.
It appears that the deal is dead. Both links go to the $149 price as of now. Rats. I have one of these and it has been fantastic. Would have totally been in for another.
The 750 GB version sells for $149 while the 500 GB version sells for $169... gg amazon.
This is a great price for this hard drive!

Ngata hit Griffin in the chest, but the force of the blow caused Griffin's right leg to whip around violently. Griffin's knee (the same knee that he tore an ACL in back in 2009) appeared to hyperextend, and the possible Offensive Rookie of the Year winner walked gingerly off the field.After a brief conversation with the team's trainers, Griffin reentered the game, only to leave again a few plays later -- this time needing assistance to reach the bench after crumpling to the turf.Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said after the game that Griffin would require an MRI and that no further info on the injury would be available until then. Griffin headed into the Redskins' locker room momentarily before overtime, then stood on the sideline with his leg wrapped.Hopefully, this situation does not turn out to be as serious as when Griffin injured himself while at Baylor, but he returned to action that day as well, leading four touchdown drives before coming out of the game for good at halftime. Afterward, Griffin expressed optimism that it wasn't an ACL injury, saying, "[it] shouldn't be an ACL. I know what that feels like." (UPDATE: The Redskins announced that an MRI of Griffin's knee found no damage to the ligaments, calling it a knee sprain.)Baylor coasted to a win over Northwestern State that day; Griffin's team needed more of a boost from his backup Sunday.Kirk Cousins proved up to the task. As Griffin lay on a table, surrounded by several Washington team doctors, [si_launchNFLPopup video='23d869b1d91a4534b72fc00d5f8d9f91']Cousins floated an 11-yard TD pass in to Pierre Garcon[/si_launchNFLPopup] with 29 seconds left, slicing Baltimore's tenuous lead to 28-26. Following a timeout, Cousins then forced overtime by running in a two-point conversion on a QB draw.The Redskins did not need Cousins to do anything but hand off in overtime -- Richard Crawford (pick No. 213 in April) broke free for a 64-yard punt return to put Washington in field-goal range, and Kai Forbath drilled a 34-yarder for the win.The Redskins improved to 7-6 with the victory, good enough to keep the heat on the Giants in the NFC East and stay in the wild-card race. Griffin's health will temper the celebration a bit, even if Cousins came through in the clutch. BANKS: DESPITE RGIII INJURY, 'SKINS SPECIAL SEASON ROLLS ON More Audibles

A report released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center shows that the internet is closing in on TV as the main source of national and international news for Americans. Fully 41% of Americans say they get their news from the internet.
That statistic hasn't changed much in the last two years, says Pew, but is up 17 percent from 2007.
Television is the most watched news source for most Americans, but that number has dropped in recent years. As recently as 2002, 82 percent of Americans got their news on TV. That number is now down to 66 percent according to the Pew survey.
These trends are likely to continue. The survey shows the internet is the main source of national and international news for people under the age of 30. The survey shows since 2007, 18- to 29-year-olds citing the internet has nearly doubled. Now 65 percent of people in that age range say they use the internet as their main national and international news source.
Keeping with age trends, the survey shows that the only age group not significantly using the internet more and more frequently for news is people aged 65 and older. That age group uses the internet but about half of them use newspapers and nearly 80 percent use TV as their primary source for national and international news.
None of those stats seem surprising. Internet trends have shown that younger people are more likely to use the web for many different types of communication.
More interesting is how the stats break down among education lines and monetary lines. College grads are about as likely to get their national and international news from the internet (at 51 percent) as they are television (54 percent).
The less education a person has, the more likely that person is to watch television for national and international news. Those surveyed with just a high school education cite television as their main source (75 percent) over the internet (29 percent).
The pattern holds for household incomes. People with more money cite the internet as their primary source more often than people who earn less.
As for television news providers, everyone's to be taking a hit. Cable news providers such as FOX News and CNN hold a 14-point edge over broadcast news outlets such as ABC and CBS, but all those groups are seeing falling numbers.
Local news fares the worst with 16 percent of people surveyed saying that's their primary source. The one bright spot in that statistic is that the number hasn't changed much for local news providers in the last five years.
