History of gun control in the U.S.
The Second Amendment has guaranteed certain gun rights for Americans for more than two centuries. But various laws and court decisions have changed the manufacturing, sale, possession and use of guns.
From the time it was adopted in 1791, the Second Amendment's guaranteed "right of the people to keep and bear arms" went virtually unchallenged for decades.
The first gun control laws were created in the South. In 1837, the Georgia Legislature banned handguns. But the Georgia Supreme Court struck down the law eight years later, citing the Second Amendment.
After the Civil War, "Black Codes" in several Southern States sought to prevent blacks from owning and carrying guns. That essentially ended in 1868, with the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship guarantee and equal rights clause.
The first federal gun controls didn't happen until the 1920's and 30's, nearly a century and a half after the Second Amendment. Over the past 80 years, the U.S. Congress has written a series of controversial gun control laws. Almost every one of those laws has stemmed from a shocking crime involving guns.
"…And it's not only just happened just in incidents of gun violence. We see this in criminal justice policymaking in general across the 20th century," said Dr. William Bloss of the Department of Criminal Justice at East Carolina University (pictured at left).
New, automatic weapons were introduced during a time of economic depression, prohibition, and organized crime. A new criminal element and the guns it used helped form support for the National Firearms Acts of 1934 and 1938. The laws regulated the use of machine guns - imposing a tax on their manufacture and sale. All sales were recorded and dealers were licensed. Violent criminals were prohibited from owning guns. Court rulings have changed parts of the laws, but current regulations include those main points.
The shooting deaths of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy in the 1960's rocked the nation. President Lyndon Johnson (pictured below) won passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, the most sweeping federal gun law at the time. Its main features still prohibit convicted felons, drug users and the mentally ill from buying guns.
In March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan and White House Press Secretary James Brady were shot on a Washington, D.C. street. Brady's recovery and campaign to change guns laws took years, but the "Brady Bill" became law in 1993. It imposed a waiting period to buy a handgun and required buyers to undergo background checks. Some specifics of each requirement have since changed.
David McFadyen (pictured below) is a former North Carolina district attorney who prosecuted many cases involving illegal use of guns. He talked about the background check provision of the Brady Bill.
"It did have a positive effect in that with legal transactions, there are thousands every year of legal transactions where individuals, who are prohibited from acquiring firearms, try to acquire firearms," McFadyen said.
By 2012, almost 18 years after the Brady Bill, an estimated 156 million Americans had undergone background checks. An estimated one million were rejected.
The most significant recent federal regulation was the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, commonly known as the Assault Weapons Ban. The ban on certain classes of semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines expired 10 years later.
Two landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases in just the last five years had major impact on gun control. In each decision, The Supreme Court effectively upheld an individual's personal right to own a gun.
Now, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the United States is again exploring new federal laws on gun regulation. While the history of gun control laws is clear, its exact effect on public safety is difficult to prove:
"I'm not aware of any of our research whose findings suggest that there's a cause and effect relationship between legislation and the outcome," Bloss said.
What is clear is that as long as there is gun-related tragedy, Americans will continue to debate the use of guns and try to strike the delicate balance between gun rights and public safety.

I'm looking for something like a Grassmannian, but which parameterizes the submodules of a module rather than the subspaces of a vector space. Most specifically, I'm looking for something which parameterizes the submodules of specifically $\mathbb{Z}^n$. So another way to say it is that I'm looking for a space parameterizing for the subgroups of a free abelian group. (A moduli space?)
I've seen some references to the concept of a "Grassmannian of submodules" here and there (like the papers on the first page of https://www.google.com/search?q=%22grassmannian+of+submodules%22) but can't figure out if this handles modules like $\mathbb{Z}^n$ or not.
Does anyone know if such an object exists and if so, how to construct it? Where I can get more information on this?
EDIT: to give a bit more info, the only specific application I really care about is parameterizing the free subgroups of a free abelian group, or the "lattices" in the $\mathbb{Z}$-module $\mathbb{Z}^n$, etc. A solution which works only for that, but which doesn't handle more exotic modules would be fine for my purposes. (And if it doesn't work out for all free abelian groups in general, then having a solution for at least finitely generated free abelian groups would even be a great start.)
I framed the question in terms of the "submodules of a module" in general just because I saw some references to there being a "Grassmannian of submodules" before, so I thought such a construction might be widely known.

Wallet Lock Pick Set & Locksmith Guide for $9.99 + $4.99 flat rate shipping
For entertainment purposes only, we assume. And breaking in your buddy's house to prank him is NOT what we mean.
20 Comments add a comment
To be kept next to your unregistered firearm
I am not a lawyer, but I believe possession of lock picks is not a felony unless they can prove you had intent to use them to break into someone else's place…Laws vary from state to state so you might check the laws in your state to be certain. A friend of mine made lock picks, it isn't hard to do, and I have used them on a couple of occasions to get into my own house, cabinet, and even car once.
Casey... your comment made me l-o-l. Thank you for that.
Just a warning. The picks work just fine. However they automagically sign you up for their catalogs, and then after you finally get them to stop sending them to you, catalogs from associated companies start showing up.
This is great if you have a fireplace, or need to line a bird cage, but not so great if you have a small mailbox like I do.
@marvin6: I keep my set around for when I lose a set of keys to something. Weirdly enough, one of the key sets I lost was the keys to the trigger lock on my shotgun.
For those wondering, it took me less than 5 minutes, and was the first lock I ever picked. I believe it was a Masterlock brand trigger lock.
Here is a state by state guide. In most states it is okay to have picks. If you are intending to use them for criminal purposes, you are in real trouble.
With the availability of "bump keys" I have no idea why folks would want these. Bump keys are scary ...
@thomasr: Have you ever tried to use a bump key? They're not made of magic. For example, professional locksmiths prefer picks. Picks are also useful for padlocks, cabinets, etc where your KW1 bump key doesn't fit.
I have a problem with -- No Paypal, they require credit card info.
Otherwise, I would be interested in how easy it is to break in to my house.
It seems like I would HEAR if somebody was "Bumping" my lock, this silent method would be more disconcerting.
Its a +5 to lock picking for any of you who were wondering.
@thomasr: becasuse bump keys ruin the lock... picking locks that you have temporarily lost key for doesn't ruin it.
@cebooher3: Don't you just love California?
Burglary tools include ..." ceramic or porcelain spark plug chips or pieces..."
Do they stay up at night thinking these things up? LOL
@spanky: At 1st I thought that was weird, too. Then I figured there may have been a trend of people slicing the top portion of a spark plug (with a diamond blade) into the shape of a bump key....and then if found in a shakedown, they could say its just a spark plug I need to take to Kragen.
I'm just going to reiterate what I usually post when this deal comes up. I bought one, they're really cheap metal that will bend and break easily. If you want a proper lock picking set, go for a professional one, not one that will break your locks rather than break into them.
@danieleg: No, ceramic pieces are used as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_rocks to break car windows in a smash-and-grab.
Heads-up that these are not airport-security safe, so don't stick it in your wallet and forget about it. Might look kinda fishy trying to carry a lockpick onto an airplane ;)
@cebooher3: Yay, Texas! I can carry anything but wire cutters!
It's annoying that these keep getting posted. I own these and they work terribly, especially if you are a beginner. Someone experienced may get a handful of successful picks out of these. Stay away. And yes, I now get about 5 different magazines sent to me.
@bradstronger: Thanks, I never would have guessed. I bet that would be featured on GTA (I have never played the game.)

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2011 Early Summer Tour."
Tuesday's second set is where the band really shined and made up for their lack of exploratory music during Bethel's third night. For the fifth time in Phish's history, they covered J.J. Cale's 'After Midnight'. Instead of the short, token versions seen in the past year, a nearly 12 minute psychedelic journey ensued. Whereas New Year's Eve contained a powerful and staccato face melting guitar punch, this version ran along the same lines as 'Rock and Roll' and 'Sand' with Trey using his new effects liberally. Even songs that they have been playing relatively the same during 3.0, Phish's new sound this summer is definitely there. 'After Midnight' continued into a 'Tube'-like jam with bass heavy tones from Page on the keyboards. Again, the Chairman proves to be a contender for band MVP this tour as he plays with various scales and styles while Trey simply provides some standard noodling while Fishman and Gordon keep to Page's exploratory rhythm. While the transitioning into 'Possum' seemed harsh, it actually kept the crowd happy by bring the party back uptempo instead of drifting further into the cosmos. With an exceptionally long build up, 'Possum' again fit the tone of the Garden State Parkway as a crusin' tune for this summer and became the first repeated song of Phish's summer 2011 tour, first played during set two on May 27th. Phish then made their way into possibly the highlight of the night, a two part punch of The Who's 'Drowned' into 'Maze'. Here the band showcased their ability to switch tempos and rhythms and entered an ambient soundscape. Right before the opening drum beats of 'Maze' are heard, Trey plays some electric funk reminiscent of the one and only Riverport Gin. 'Maze' was also a particularly strong song for Page to showcase his talents once again, and after the slow 'Dirt' and 'Alaska' the band entered into the first 'You Enjoy Myself' of 2011. This very strong rendition capped the second set, but not before Gordon teased the bass line from 'It's Ice'. The encore, 'Fire' originally by Jimi Hendrix summed up the first New Jersey night well. Although many phans think of this show like politics and drastically love it or hate it, I firmly believe this show is in the running for a shot at the next DVD Phish will undoubtedly pump out of this summer and is wholeheartedly worth a listen.

Rockin show. Kicked Maze's ass. Trey completely failed on the first d-sky solo, but recovered superbly. Only two breathers -- one per set -- in Roggae and Dirt and the rest of the show was an ass-shakin' good time. Moma was the deep-funk that gets you down. Mike was killin' it on bass.
A well-played, all-around good show.
The Bad:
Jersey Troopers were patrolling lot 3 like sharks - saw a few unlucky bastards cuffed by undercover DT's and carried off. They were pulling kids for selling anything from pins to beers to 'extracurricular' party favors. Which is nothing new for my dear Jersey. Watch out for each other out there.
The first set was grooving, and The Moma Dance > R&R was a definite highlight for me. They're playing really tight right now, especially considering this is only the fourth show of tour. If they haven't worked the rust out yet, I'm excited for even more awesome things to come later. I will say that there were a few Trey flubs in The Divided Sky and in You Enjoy Myself (most noticeably those two), but the rest of the show more than made up for it.
The second set overall was full of jaw-dropping goodness. The Drowned > Maze was completely nuts; for the longest time, I didn't even see Maze coming out of that jam - I thought they were going into Ghost for sure. But Maze was perfectly placed, exciting, and a lot of fun.
The You Enjoy Myself was remarkable to me in how very great Mike sounded. Not that ever really sounds bad, but I thought his You Enjoy Myself was a real standout for him at the show.
Page, as per usual on this tour, was definitely the man. Fish was on point. Big Red showed that he can still play fast and faces can still be melted.
Most importantly, you can really see that they're having fun, and that's what makes it all worth it.
Thanks guys for a killer show!
It going to be a hot summer...this show had all the experience, thought, improv, rock & roll, cosmic traveling, and fun & love it needed to be a great night of music.
This show proved once again that Phish is the best in all the earth.
Dirt really went low, very sweet.
the highlights have got to be from roggae to divided sky in the first set. Rock and Roll is abslolutely the best version i've ever seen... after midnight was surprising possum more so. but drowned-maze-dirt-alaska made all the sense in the world. YEM... i guess i want it to be a rarity at this point because i love the song i don't want to hear it at every other show. Fire was fire. had a great time with alot of good people and that's what it's all about. first show at pnc in eleven years i believe and it was worth the wait.
My buddy and I drove all the way to Holmdel from Ohio to see both nights at the PNC. After driving for 8 consecutive hours we finally arrived at our first show (it was his as well). After checkin out the lot scene for a bit we entered the venue and found our seats, which were in the back section of the pavilion. There we waited for the show to start.
When the boys came out and Trey began strumming the initial chords to Chalkdust, my buddy and I both about lost it. A standard opener for sure, but a stellar version I must say. This one killed. While really all of the first four numbers are standard first-set renditions, each one got me dancing harder and harder. RnR gave everyone their first improv venture of the night. A great and somewhat spacy rendition led to a solid Sand, which Trey dedicated to Max(?). Very kind regardless. The rest of the set was played standardly but well, except for some Trey flubs during Divided Sky (which he laughed off and gave to the audience to finish).
The second set started off on fire with After Midnight. The boys jammed this one out for a bit an got pretty spacey before moving on to Possum. Considering it was still the beginning of the tour, I was happy to hear the tune. However, we all know the extent to which the song has been played recently. Just a normal straight forward version like all the others.
While driving out to NJ my buddy and i were making predictions for the nights show. He predicted a Hood (which he and I both desperately wanted). I on the other hand predicted either a second set Drowned or RnR, two of my favorite covers. When Page struck up Drowned after the possum, I became estatic. This version is well played. THe jam starts off with no direction but eventually it finds one. It leads into Maze, another personal favorite. This Maze is easily the highlight of this second set and should be checked out. Great rendition.
After a chill Dirt and a (to my displeasure) Alaska, the boys wrapped up the second set with a more standard YEM. Overall solid and fun second set.
Fire as the encore was fine and left everyone waiting for the next night. So theres my (Way to long and over the top) review. Good first show experience.

Kids ages 11 to 14 need to go to the doctor or nurse for a "well-child visit" once a year.
A well-child visit is when you take your child to the doctor for a full checkup to make sure she is healthy and developing normally. This is different from other visits for sickness or injury.
At a well-child visit, the doctor or nurse can help catch any problems early, when they may be easier to treat.
To make the most of the visit:
What about cost?Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, insurance plans must cover well-child visits. Depending on your insurance, your child may be able to get well-child checkups at no cost to you. Check with your insurance company to learn more.
How do I know if my child is growing and developing on schedule?Your child's doctor or nurse can help you identify "developmental milestones," the new skills that children usually develop by a certain age. This is an important part of the well-child visit.
Some developmental milestones are related to your child's behavior and learning, and others are about physical changes in your child's body. Learn more about pre-teen and teen development.
What are some changes I might see in my child's feelings, relationships, and behavior?Developmental milestones for pre-teens and teens ages 11 to 14 include:
This is also a time when some kids may start showing signs of depression or eating disorders.
What are some physical changes my child will go through?Many kids ages 11 to 14 are going through puberty. Puberty is when a child's body develops into an adult's body.
For girls, puberty usually starts between ages 9 and 13. For boys, it usually starts between ages 10 and 13.
You can help by giving your child information about what changes to expect during puberty. You can also encourage your child to talk about puberty with the doctor or another trusted adult, like a teacher or school nurse.
Take these steps to help you and your child get the most out of well-child visits.
Gather important information.Take any medical records you have to the appointment, including a record of shots your child has received.
Make a list of any important changes in your child's life since the last visit, like a:
Use this tool to keep track of your child's family health history.
Make a list of questions you want to ask the doctor.Before the well-child visit, write down 3 to 5 questions you have. This visit is a great time to ask the doctor or nurse any questions about:
Here are some questions you may want to ask:
Take a notepad and write down the answers so you can remember them later.
Ask what to do if your child gets sick. Make sure you know how to get in touch with a doctor or nurse when the office is closed. Ask how to get hold of the doctor on call, or if there's a nurse information service you can call at night or on the weekend.
Know what to expect.During each well-child visit, the doctor or nurse will ask you questions, do a physical exam, and update your child's medical history. You'll also be able to ask your questions and discuss any problems.
The doctor or nurse will ask you and your child questions.The doctor or nurse may ask about:
The answers to questions like these will help the doctor or nurse make sure your child is healthy and developing normally. See a list of other questions the doctor may ask [PDF - 1.3 MB].
The doctor or nurse will also check your child's body.To check your child's body, the doctor or nurse will:
The doctor or nurse will pay special attention to signs of certain issues. The doctor or nurse will offer additional help if your child may be:
And if your child may be having sex, the doctor or nurse will talk to your child about preventing STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and pregnancy.
The doctor or nurse will make sure you and your child have the resources you need.This may include telling you and your child about:
If necessary, the doctor or nurse may also refer your child to a specialist.
Help your child get more involved in visits to the doctor.Once your child starts puberty, the doctor will usually ask you to leave the room during your child's physical exam.
This lets your child develop a relationship with the doctor or nurse and ask questions in private, and it's an important step in teaching your child to take control of his health care.
Your child can also:

The Geneseo campus remembered alumnus Lt. Mohsin Naqvi during memorial events March 9.
GENESEO, N.Y. -- The State University of New York at Geneseo paid tribute on campus March 9 to 2005 alumnus Lt. Mohsin Naqvi, who was killed in September 2008 while on active U.S. Army duty in Afghanistan. The ceremony included a military honor guard from RIT, and the presentation of two plaques: one to be mounted in Geneseo's Milne Library in Nasqvi's memory and one presented to Naqvi's family members, who will be present for the ceremony.
Naqvi was a computer science major at Geneseo from Newburgh, N.Y., who was able to attend Geneseo through its Access Opportunity Program (AOP). The program helps meet the higher educational aspirations of academically talented students who are under-represented at the post-secondary level of education. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 11th Infantry out of Fort Benning, Ga. Naqvi received the Combat Infantry Badge, the Bronze Star with Valor and the Purple Heart, all posthumously.
"We are honored to be remembering our alumnus and American war hero on our campus," said Fowziyyah Ali, associate director of Geneseo's AOP and a member of the memorial event planning committee. "The idea for this memorial came from two U.S. Army veterans, current AOP student Bradley Archibald and Alfred Sciarrino, an associate professor in the School of Business. We are grateful to them for the work they have done on our committee to make it possible."
Also serving on the committee are Geneseo students Tim Mahood, Harrison Singer and Dominick Ciruzzi; James Williams, professor of history, who directed a supervised study with Naqvi; and Calvin Gantt, AOP director and Naqvi's former adviser.
Funding and support for the memorial events came from the Office of the President; the Center for Community; the Access Opportunity Program department; the Departments of Anthropology, Sociology, History, Political Science and International Relations; the School of Education; and numerous individuals throughout the campus community.

BUSINESS IDEAS — Among those participating in the Project Bootstraps seminar Tuesday were, from left, Tim Pestian of Vapor Jet Cleaning and Restoration; Dave Hindman of World Radio Telecommunications; and Deanna Petrella of Signature Hair Design. The event was sponsored in cooperation with the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Small Business Development Center and the Herald-Star.
He also thanked the seminar's six guest entrepreneurs. "They are proof positive that success is possible in the Ohio Valley," he said.
Each panel member shared the story of how they started their own business and answered questions from the moderator and the audience, which included approximately 60 residents and SIFE members.
Zalenski said his first job was working as a cook for Elby's Big Boy in his hometown of Martins Ferry as a high school junior.
"At the end of the summer, I gave my two weeks notice, and they were glad to get it - they said I didn't even need to give those two weeks," he said. "When I went back and asked for a job the next year, they said, 'well, let's try you as a waiter' - I was the first male waiter they had."
Zalenski said, despite his rough start, he worked his way up through the company after a short stint as a high school teacher. After working at another restaurant chain following Elby's dissolution, he was fired, but described it as the "best thing that ever happened to me.
"I felt like a load had been taken off my shoulders," he said. "Everything I was doing, thinking I was working for them, they saw as working against them. We were just butting heads. At first, I tried to argue my position, then I said, 'this isn't working,' gave them my keys and said thank you very much."
He returned home, opened the newspaper and saw an ad for a turn-key restaurant operation in downtown Steubenville. That became a "mom-and-pop operation" known as the Green Mill. Eventually, he was offered a larger space in Wintersville.
"I was shocked at the size of the building," he said. "We were going from this little mom-and-pop restaurant to this huge business."
Biasi said his father, Gino, had started Valley Converting at a low point in his life - after coming to Toronto in 1971 with his wife and six children, with Biasi being the youngest at 2, to work at the Toronto Paper Mill, he was fired after a year and a half with the company.
"Instead of crying about it, he went across the street and bought that company - it had two pieces of equipment and one employee," he said. "In 1988, he went back across the street and bought the mill that had fired him."
Biasi briefly worked for an insurance company in Columbus before coming home to the family business. "I had a choice: Either I could be a number or I could come home and work with my family," he said.
Valley Converting now has 50 employees, down from a high of 80 in the early 2000s. Biasi said having to lay off and later terminate approximately 20 positions was "one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do," describing his employees as "family." He added that several years ago, when the depressed economy slowed orders, he and his family worked to ensure workers were able to get 40 hours a week, noting he had an obligation to his employees.
"We had guys coming in as night watchmen on weekends, anything we could do," he said. "You aren't just supporting yourself, you're supporting 50 people - 50 families."
Glaub's business acumen was honed while managing her physician husband's medical practice, although she herself was a registered nurse. After her first husband's death, she found herself at a loss. "I took to prayer," she said. "Less than a month later, a friend asked me to substitute teach at a music store."
A student whom she prepared for a state competition took first place, and Glaub was offered a job. After seeing a couple of owners come and go, a 6-year-old student suggested Glaub open her own school in a building owned by the child's family - Canella's Produce Co. in Weirton.
Her second husband, Jody, suggested she move to a larger facility in Wintersville, another Canella property, where she continues to do business. "God directed me," she said.
Petrella and her husband, John, have been entrepreneurs from the start, opening Petrella Construction the same year she graduated from Wintersville High School in 1978. While acting as the bookkeeper and office manager for that company, she attended cosmetology school, graduating in 1981 and taking a job as a stylist at J.C. Penney.
In 1991, Petrella and her husband branched out with Pinnacle Properties, offering commercial and industrial real estate. At the same time, she was working for the village of Wintersville, and continued to work at the village offices until retiring in 2007.
"I thought I needed to stop working," she said. "That lasted about three or four months before I got bored."
She knew she wanted to go into business for herself and went back to school to learn the business side of the salon trade. In 2009, she and her husband bought and remodeled a property in Wintersville, and, by that May, she was open. However, she found her latest go-around in the business world an uphill venture.
"I was very discouraged, but I prayed and asked God to lead me," she said.
Less than four years later, Petrella employs 15 people and operates a full-service salon.
"We're doing well," she said. "I have a great team surrounding me - I need them and they need me."
Hindman came to Steubenville at 5 years old, after his father was discharged from the Air Force and returned to his hometown, where he and Hindman's uncles operated various television and electronics businesses. He worked with his family for a time before he was "pushed out of the nest" to find his "life's work."
After attending Ohio University, he studied electronics at Eastern Gateway Community College before landing at Ohio Bell/Ameritech. He praised his former employers for their emphasis on discipline, respect, customer service and allowing the customer's needs to direct the business. At the same time, he operated his own small electronics business.
However, Hindman too found himself facing a moment of doubt, including disarray in his personal life. "I felt the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit," he said. "Saying I needed to get my life right and find (the Holy Spirit), so I did. I began this business on my knees."
Along with his wife and young children, he took over the office space originally operated by Eddie DeAngelo and World Radio in downtown Steubenville.
"People ask me, 'why World Radio?'" he said. "We didn't have enough money to pay attention, and my wife asked me what we were going to call (the business). There was this big box of left-over stationary, all saying 'World Radio,' so World Radio it was."
World Radio Telecommunications now has 20 employees at two locations.
Pestian began his career as the family business, operated by his parents Edward and Dolores, was in transition. His father had delivered laundry supplies throughout the area, but found his business was being squeezed out by big box stores. Thinking on his feet, Edward Pestian invested $5,000 to purchase a carpet cleaner.
"This was 1969, and $5,000 was a lot of money," said Pestian, who began learning the family business that same year while still a high school senior. "So I started cleaning carpets. I graduated and said I'd stick around and do this until I decided what I was going to do. Forty-four years later, I'm still trying to figure it out."
Vapor Jet expanded to include linen services, fire and water restoration and biohazard reclamation.
When asked what they would do differently, Petrella and Biasi cautioned those going into business to take time in doing research and preparation. Pestian noted all business owners will make mistakes, but they need to learn from them. "Bumps in the road become stepping stones," he said.
Hindman and Glaub noted a simple name was more memorable and easily searchable on Internet search engines. Zalenski said he wished he pursued his dream earlier and cautioned new business people to become familiar with any laws that might affect them. "I always dreamed of owning my own business, but I never took myself seriously," he said.
Each entrepreneur dealt with challenges in a different way, they said.
"We sold a lot of guitars, because a lot of people were at home, singing the blues," said Glaub of the recent economic downturn. She added it hadn't impacted the fine art and music lessons division of the business, because people valued investing in their children and self-improvement, but the retail end, especially high-ticket items like pianos, suffered.
Biasi encouraged business owners to have open lines of communication with those government agencies they deal with, such as Occupational Health and Safety Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. "I don't treat them like the enemy," he said. "I'm honest with them."
Pestian, Biasi and Petrella encouraged business owners to control costs, encourage efficiency and budget.
Several panel members spoke about the obligations they felt toward their employees. "It's a big responsibility," said Hindman.
Hindman also encouraged business people to do business within the community and support other local businesses, noting each panel member had done business with one another.
"That's the key - support the local economy as much as you can," said Hindman. "For every $1 that's spent outside of the community, that's $5 lost, and for every $1 spent here, it generates another $5 in the economy."
Zalenski encouraged future entrepreneurs to diversify, noting, in addition to his restaurant, he operates banquet rooms, provides off-site catering and attends area fairs and festivals. "We went with 'eatery,' because, if it has to do with food, we can do it," he said.
He added business people may feel as if they've "hit a wall" and become overwhelmed and frustrated, but "there's nothing better than working for yourself. My mother used to tell me, 'quit playing with your food' - and, now, that's what I do!"
Petrella and Biasi said walking away isn't an option, because of their commitment to their employees. "We're part of a team," Petrella said. "We count on each other. There's nothing better than self-employment and giving back to the community."
Constantly evolving to meet customer need and demand is necessary to "keep things fresh," said Glaub.
"The No. 1 way to handle stress is prayer," said Pestian.
Panel members agreed that part of their success was learning to balance family, faith and their business, whether that meant taking a vacation, scheduling time to be with family or prioritizing quality time.
"It's very dangerous to be so consumed by business that you leave everything else behind," said Glaub.
A support system of loved ones who understand their passion for business is a must, but, sometimes, the cell phone just has to be turned off, said Petrella.
"Never forget prayer," said Hindman. "God will answer."

My 3-year-old keeps me on my toes. You never know what he's going to say or do, or both.
We were having breakfast at a restaurant one morning, just he, my husband and myself. There was a rather husky man helping himself to the buffet. My son, very loudly, says, "He's big, Mommy." My husband and I stare at each other not knowing what to say.
Recalling this incident made me think of other things he has said that made me laugh or simply just rendered me speechless.
Little Man: Mommy, do owls sleep at night?
Me: No, they sleep during the day.
LM: That's because they're nocturnal. They hunt for food at night.
LM: How does God hear us pray?
Me: He hears everything; he's sort of magic.
LM: Where is Jesus?
Me: In heaven.
LM: Where's Heaven?
Me: Way up high. You can't see if from here.
LM: Can we get there in a car?
Me: No.
LM: A plane?
Me: No.
LM: I know, Mommy, we can take a rocket.
Me: I don't think we can get there in a rocket.
LM: I think we can.
LM: How was I born?
Me: God thought we needed a baby to love so he put you in my tummy.
LM: How did I get in your tummy?
Me: God's magic, remember?
LM: I know, Mommy. You opened your mouth and he dropped me in.
LM: Mommy is going away.
Grammy (my mother-in-law): Where is she going?
LM: Africa.
Grammy: Africa? Is she taking you with her?
LM: No, Grammy, they don't allow kids in Africa.
(I had told him I was going to Adena for a chocolate party.)
Me: Come to bed right now or I will drink your milk (he has milk every night at bedtime).
LM: No, Mommy, you can't drink my milk.
Me: I'm going to if you don't get in bed right now.
LM: Silly Mommy, milk is for kids.
LM asked me for help with his video game one day.
LM: Mommy, help me find Mater.
Me: I'm not any good at video games, buddy.
LM: Please, Mommy.
Me: Ok. We'll look for him. Keep your eyes peeled.
Silence. I look at him and he has his hands on his eyes moving them around.
Me: What are you doing?
LM: How do I peel my eyes?
LM: Can I poop outside?
Me: No, you can't poop outside.
LM: But Ben (the dog) does.
Me: That's what dogs do. Little boys go to the potty in the house.
And my personal favorite,
LM: Am I a boy?
Me: Yes, you and Daddy and Ben are all boys. Mommy is a girl.
LM: What makes me a boy?
I explain, without too much detail, the difference between boys and girls.
Later that night...
LM: I have a (insert boy part here), right?
Me: Yes.
LM: (thinks for a minute) What does Nana have?
Me: Well, Nana is a girl so she has...
He cuts me off and rolls his eyes like I should be following his thought.
LM: No, Mommy, what does Nana drive?
Most of the time I just shake my head. What can you do? He's only 3.

Elihu Thomson (1853-1937) was one of the most inventive scientists of his time and one of the few truly scientific inventors. Because he saw no reason for making sharp separations between the pure and the applied, between science and technology, he was able to illuminate each aspect of his work with the light of his experience in the other. The result, as his correspondence confirms, was a progressive reaching out into numerous areas, some far removed from the electrical studies on which his fame has chiefly rested.

Federal Judge Richard Posner: The GOP Has Made Me Less Conservative
Judge Richard Posner, a conservative on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, has long been one of the nation's most respected and admired legal thinkers on the right. But in an interview with NPR, he expressed exasperation at the modern Republican Party, and confessed that he has become "less conservative" as a result.
Posner expressed admiration for President Ronald Reagan and the economist Milton Friedman, two pillars of conservatism. But over the past 10 years, Posner said, "there's been a real deterioration in conservative thinking. And that has to lead people to re-examine and modify their thinking."
"I've become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy," he said.
Judge Richard Posner speaks to NPR
Posner, who was appointed to the appeals court by Reagan, speculated that the leaks about the deliberations over the national health care law — which are apparently designed to discredit Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion upholding the law — would backfire. "I think these right-wingers who are blasting Roberts are making a very serious mistake," he said.
"Because if you put [yourself] in his position ... what's he supposed to think? That he finds his allies to be a bunch of crackpots? Does that help the conservative movement? I mean, what would you do if you were Roberts? All the sudden you find out that the people you thought were your friends have turned against you, they despise you, they mistreat you, they leak to the press. What do you do? Do you become more conservative? Or do you say, 'What am I doing with this crowd of lunatics?' Right? Maybe you have to re-examine your position."
In addition to his work as an appeals court judge, Posner is the author of more than three dozen books on subjects ranging from law and economics to aging and literature.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Macy Gray
Gray organized an after-hours club called the We Ours, which took place in a small coffeehouse; in addition to welcoming open-mike acts, Gray and her jazz group performed there regularly. She signed with Atlantic Records, who declined to release the album she recorded for them. Devastated by this rejection and the breakup of her marriage (her third child was on the way at the time), Gray retreated to Canton. However, her demo tape continued to make the rounds, and she returned to L.A. to accept a publishing deal with Zomba. This in turn helped lead to a new record contract with Epic in April 1998, and Gray spent the next year recording what was to become her debut album, On How Life Is. Released in the summer of 1999, On How Life Is won glowing reviews and great word of mouth, but in spite of all that -- plus a moderate hit single in "Do Something" -- the record was initially slow to catch on. That all changed early the next year, when Gray received two Grammy nominations (for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal), and the single "I Try" started to take off on radio. "I Try" proved to be an enormous hit, and On How Life Is suddenly sold like hot cakes, entering the Top Ten and going triple platinum by the end of 2000. Gray scored a smaller follow-up hit with "Why Don't You Call Me," and also raised eyebrows with the album track "I've Committed Murder," in which the protagonist gets away with her crime. Although Gray lost out her first time at the Grammys, she was nominated again the following year for Best Female Pop Vocal thanks to "I Try," and this time won (although the song lost out on Record of the Year and Song of the Year honors).
In late 2000, Gray contributed two vocal tracks to Fatboy Slim's Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars album; she subsequently recorded with the Black Eyed Peas, cut a duet with rap legend Slick Rick for the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack ("The World Is Yours"), and made her screen acting debut in the Denzel Washington police drama Training Day. By the time she had begun work on her second album, Gray was developing a reputation for surreal public appearances and interviews, culminating in an August 2001 incident in which she was booed for apparently stumbling over the lyrics to the national anthem. Released the following month, The Id was a determined effort to play up the crazy side of Gray's image; it entered the charts at number 11 and quickly went gold on the strength of lead single "Sweet Baby." However, in spite of guest appearances by Erykah Badu and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante, among others, its sales stalled much sooner than expected. During 2002, Gray appeared as herself in the blockbuster film Spider Man and also guested on Santana's Shaman. One year later, her third album -- The Trouble with Being Myself -- arrived on the shelves, although it was also a flop in commercial terms (it just barely missed the Top 40). With a new production team, including will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas and his confederate Ron Fair, Gray returned with a slicker, Tom Joyner-approved version of soul on 2007's Big, featuring collaborations with Natalie Cole and BEP's Fergie. It didn't perform much better on the charts; it debuted (and peaked) at number 39. The Sellout, a 2010 release on the Concord label, featured some self-composed songs and an appearance from Bobby Brown. Gray then signed to the 429 label and released Covered in 2012. The album featured renditions of songs by Metallica, My Chemical Romance, and Kanye West. Later that year, Stevie Wonder's 1972 R&B classic received the same treatment (and the same title), Talking Book. In 2014, she released a set of original material, The Way, through Happy Mel Boopy Touring Co. ~ Steve Huey

Why oh why is everything sold as tech shown with that antique of a cell phone?
Our internet filter here at work is blocking this site as "online gambling." What the ? ? ? ?
I use my room mates JamBox regularly and I gotta say how much I enjoy it. The sound is not very loud and BlueTooth is kind of a limited interface, but the idea of a portable wireless speaker is awesome. I have no idea what this third party speaker is like, but at a quarter of the price its something to think about.
@rayray8822: Sorry about that...Not sure why you'd be getting warnings that this is a gambling site - we just sell things! We run our site through different filters periodically, and we haven't found anything like this before - do you know what service or filter you are using at work?
@justabandnerd: Let me guess, you're one of those "get an android" people.

It has been over two years since we saw a new motorcycle from Confederate Motors, but you would be wrong to think that the boutique Southern brand has been sitting idly by all this time.
Earlier this year, Confederate added esteemed motorcycle designer Pierre Terblanche to its ranks, and now we get to see the first fruition of the South African's influence on the American motorcycle company.
Announcing today the Confederate C2 P-51 Fighter, Terblanche has created Confederate's second-generation model of the Fighter line — no easy feat to build upon, as Terblanche calls the original fighter one of his all-time favorite motorcycle designs.

This is my team. Its strange as i started watching Rushden Town in 1988 as a six year old and then in 1992 a merger with Irthlingborough Diamonds brought around Rushden and Diamonds. After years of success and going from non league to what is now League One the club hit on money troubles. Quick relegations back to the Blue Square Bet Premier left us trying to start over but the wheels came off dramactically last season and in the summer the club was denied a place at non-leagues top table for the current season. Basically RDFC is dead. But as with clubs at this level a new side was created and away we go again.
For people that dont know AFC Rushden and Diamonds for this current season are running with just an u-18's side and doing well. For the 2012/13 we hope for a place in the United Counties Premier Division and a ground share with Wellingborough Town. We have a fantastic support base already and have 418 (at last count) paid up members and our games attract between 200 and 500 fans, just for u-18 games on weekday evenings.
So onto my career. I have opened up the lower leagues down to English County Leagues. I have taken out Blackstones from the United Counties League and replaced them with the extinct Rushden and Diamonds base within the editor. Given the fan base the club has currently i have changed all the Rushden stats to match fellow UCL side King's Lynn. They like us has good support and have been forced to drop many leagues to start again. I have copied Wellingborough for youth and training facilities as we are going to be ground sharing. I have given the club the same budget as King's Lynn which is one of the bigger in the league but that will be backed by the fans coming in.
Season 2011/2012Now i have already completed a season and a half before i decided to start a career thread so the first season will be brief.
Being in the lowest division the way i manage is totally different to a top side. I make a signing a week almost and brought in 44 players last season. Many were on £15 pw contracts and it was trial and error as i had no players when i started the game. After going through many players in the first four games i settled on a squad i was happy ish and off we went, trying to move through the non-league levels. I have managed in UCL before with both Irchester and Wellingborough and won the league with ease so i was hoping for the much the same this season.
Everything seemed to click and after the 42 games we were comfortably the winners of the league.
That leads us into the Southern League First Divison Central Divsion for next season, one step closer to the top. My aim is to get the club back into the BSBP before i think about leaving.
I have noticed already in my career that many clubs have had take overs and mine was no different. During the summer of 2012 Neil Crace comes in as chairman and tells me he has no interest in chucking money into the club. I thought that was fair enough but moaned and moaned about youth hoping to improve what we have.
Season 2012/2013I have made no changes to my squad ahead of the new season and have kept on the players from last year. We are spending £100,000 per year on wages which is third highest in the league and given the success of last season we are getting 1000 fans to our home games. I am a little down about this as im thinking i may have edited the club a little too good but looking at King's Lynn they have an average attendance of 908 so maybe i haven't. I don't to careers when i have given one club a huge advantage but i do feel this is becoming a little too good to be me! Opinions please?
Im thinking this because my side continue to win games and after 31 games the table looks like this:
Its looking likely that promotion is coming our way so from next season will to better and more regular updates but would like some feedback on what i have done in terms of adding the club? I feel i have put the club at the level they will come in at, facilities and support but i have a bit of a downer on it as its been easy so far? Hmm....

Who ever decided to put foot pedals on a piano? Do we know who did it, or do we only know the general period that this happened? I would like to know who did this and when did it happen?
As Indrek pointed out, this gives at least partial answers to your questions.
In short, the answer to who first put foot pedals on a piano is not known exactly, but the practice seems to originate in England. A piano of Americus Backers from 1772 might be the first one to use foot pedals instead of knee levers.
Then you have a different question in the title. The piano of Backers just mentioned had two pedals, una corda and damper, and this seems to have been the most common configuration up to the late 19th century. The French company Boisselot and Sons was the first to have a sostenuto pedal, in 1844, but it was only Steinway who some decades later made it a common device. However, more pedals (many more) were in use quite early and it's probably impossible to say who was the first one to have some three pedals (as opposed to una corda, sostenuto, damper) on their piano.

Kumala island is situated in the middle of Mahakam River, passing Tenggarong city, in Kutai Kartanegara district. At first, this 85 hectare island was a sedimentation of mud, forming a land. This island is unique as it looks like a boat in the middle of a river.
Before transforming into a modern recreation site, Kumala was a site for hundreds of bekantan (Nasalis Larvatus) and various types of Borneo wild reptiles. Tourist Park of Kumala Island was developed since 2002. Entrance fee to this tourist park is Rp2,000 per person.
If you wish to stay in the middle of the island, the park management provides a rental cottage, complete with a swimming pool and catering service.You should book one week in advance so that the management could make the proper preparations. Since the cottage is not open daily, it will be better to order it for groups. This cottage may accommodate up to 100 visitors. For reservation and further information, please contact +62 541 7069945.
To take a trip around the island, tourist cars are provided for Rp3,000-Rp4,000 per person for each trip. If less than 5 passangers, this car must be rented for Rp20,000.
It is easier and closer to reach Tenggarong city from Samarinda. From Sepinggan airport in Balikpapan, you can take either a local plane to Samarinda or you can also take a taxi for Rp250,000 to Rp300,000.
From there, you can take a ketinting or motorboat to Kumala island from a pier at Diponegoro street, Tenggarong. It will take not more than 5 minutes to reach the island for Rp4,000 (if more than 5 persons) or Rp20,000 (if less than 5 persons) as you will be considered renting the boat.

I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm on a WUBI installation currently with (obviously) NTFS system. I got really sick and tired of Windows 7 and the new Windows 8 isn't something I really look out to and Ubuntu is really awesome so far.
But! Since I'm really dependent on Photoshop and Autocad and I cannot really replace them, I need Windows.
So, my question is:
If I format my drives (do I have to format all of them to ext partitions?)
Will I still have an option to share them with my Windows XP on VirtualBox?
I will need this to work. No, qCAD and Gimp isn't enough, unfortunately. I need those expensive programs.

I've downloaded some GTK themes from http://ubuntu-art.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100&PHPSESSID=180c7cef6c965351b9d18e19e3d037e9 and I can't see any instructions on how to install them. For additional information I am running Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal, have Ubuntu Tweak already installed. Thanks for any help!
i guess if it is supported by your desktop you can easily run nautilus with admin rights:
then just go to usr/share/themes folder and unzip files you have downloaded from site.
and install themes via synaptic package manager -just search for themes. https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes

One of the major study tips are understanding what you learn. But when you learn a new word, how do you understand it without memorization?
I assume your question is about learning foreign words?
Understanding is important when learning concepts and ideas. When you understand something (or if you experiment or play with newly learned stuff for that matter) you make connections between the things you've just learned and things you already know. The result is that you will remember the newly learned things better.
The same goes for learning foreign words. It's not so much that you need to 'understand' a word, it's linking it the something you already know so you'll remember it more easily.
For example, learning the French word for explanation, which is 'explication' is probably not very difficult as the two words are rather similar. However, you might have some trouble remembering the Dutch translation, which is 'uitleg', because this word is totally different from the French and English word. Without more knowledge of the Dutch language you cannot link it easily to something you already know. However, even in this case you can use a 'tric' to remember the Dutch word. Image a pirate with a wooden leg explaining your something. This image will link the last part of the Dutch word (leg) with the word explanation. This is called the LinkWord technique and is one of the many mnemonics you can use for learning words.
Use the word in context, diurnally if necessary, until it's part of your lexicon.
That's the expedient way to foster development of a sesquipedalian vocabulary.

How can I find stats and information about Foursquare usage? I am looking for the place in the US where Foursquare is most popular.
closed as too broad by jonsca♦ Mar 24 at 22:40
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
With a little googling I couldn't easily find any good stats. However, the most popular venues seem to be transport hubs—particularly airports—and the US is the country where Foursquare has the most users... So I came up with this worldwide top 10 list:
I checked this against a list of busiest airports and I'd guess these venues indeed are among the ones with most checkins.
Some observations:
If I missed something, leave a comment, or update the list yourself!
Out of curiosity, I also gathered a list of top 10 most popular venues in European Union:
Again, I probably overlooked some popular places, so feel free to edit.
Compared to population, the Netherlands, Finland, and Denmark seem to be over-represented in Foursquare use, while hugely busy spots like Charles de Gaulle Airport (73k), Eiffel Tower (53k), or Piccadilly Circus (38k) have relatively few check-ins. Also, in EU the list is not completely dominated by airports. Fastest climber in last year was Helsinki airport, along with other Helsinki venues.
As an alternative to my hand-researched list, there's a site called 4sqstat.com which provides a more automated access to some Foursquare checkin stats.
It groups checkins by city, and within each city you can easily see most popular venues, optionally filtering them by category. Examples:

Quote from: Severian on July 26, 2012, 02:09:46 PMWhy do a lot of the earlier posts have these strange characters in them?At one point I think they did something with the database, like had to reset everything and reload all the data, and some of the data got garbled. Not sure if that was after a hack or what. Anyway, for a while you could report it and they'd fix it, if I remember correctly, but eventually they just had to move on.

Dear all: When I study group theory, I find there are some mysterious things. For example, DANIEL GORENSTEIN, in his paper "ON A THEOREM OF PHILIP HALL", mentioned the unpublished lecture notes of Philip Hall. Many other famous group theorists also confirmed that these notes are important to their work. Since the notes do not be published, I can not find way to see them. But I am very curious about what's in these notes? Are there any theory about groups we don't know or do not appear in published books or papers?
It may help to have some explicit bibliographic references, though some items are by now out of print and may be difficult to locate even through libraries. First, the 1966 paper by Gorenstein is located online here:
Gorenstein, Daniel. On a theorem of Philip Hall. Pacific J. Math. 19 (1966), 77–80.
Presumably he is referring to the 1957 lectures by Hall, which circulated in small numbers and were later published at QMC in London (where I may even have seen them, since I was lecturing there in 1969):
Hall, Philip. The Edmonton notes on nilpotent groups. Queen Mary College Mathematics Notes. Mathematics Department, Queen Mary College, London 1969 iii+76 pp.
These typewritten notes have largely disappeared from view by now, but fortunately a version got included in the 1988 volume of collected works:
Hall, Philip. The collected works of Philip Hall. Compiled and with a preface by K. W. Gruenberg and J. E. Roseblade. With an obituary by Roseblade. Oxford Science Publications. The Clarendon Press, Oxford University Press, New York, 1988. xii+776 pp. ISBN 0-19-853254-7.
Here is a brief excerpt from the review in Mathematical Reviews:
"The works appear in chronological order and are reproduced in their original format apart from the Edmonton notes on nilpotent groups (based on Hall's lectures given at the summer seminar of the Canadian Mathematical Congress held in 1957) which are a corrected reprint of the third edition (Queen Mary College, 1979)."
The book is also hard to find now outside some libraries, but does exist. As reviews indicate, much but not all of the material in Hall's original lecture notes has appeared in various research papers. Good luck.
ADDED: I'm sorry to have gone off on the wrong trail in response to the question raised here. Certainly Philip Hall's influence on other group theorists was not limited to his formally published work, though I suspect the informal stuff left out of his collected works might be covered indirectly through the papers he inspired other people to write. Though not many people directly involved in that era remain, it would for example be interesting to know what John Thompson's recollections are.
Perhaps it may inspire some finite group theorists to suggest better answers if I quote more precisely the "theorem of Philip Hall" which Gorenstein revisited from the viewpoint of the 1963 Feit-Thompson paper:
"If $P$ is a $p$-group with no noncyclic characteristic abelian subgroups, then $P$ is the central product of subgroups $P_1$ and $P_2$, where $P_1$ is extra-special and either $P_2$ is cyclic or $p=2$ and $P_2$ is dihedral, generalized quaternion, or semi-dihedral."
Apparently the original notes have been published online by Washington University here
I must add that I'm an admirer of Hall's math, and its an emotion to read his handwritten notes.

HEWITT (December 6, 2012)--The Hewitt Police Department was given top honors by the National Association of Town Watches for National Night Out events planned for a city with a population of less than 15,000.
National Night Out took place in August and is intended to help connect police with the community and send a message to criminals that area crime will not be tolerated.
The police department took the top spot because of its community attendance, media coverage and releases, type of events held and community participation.
Hewitt was ranked 7th in the nation and 1st in Texas for its population size.
Citizens, law enforcement and officer Ann Thompson helped to make the event a success, Police Chief Jim Devlin said.
"We are proud to hold to these types of events and are humbled by the community support we receive," Devlin said.

How do I login into Facebook and get a accesstoken in Java with a desktop application only?
I found a api http://restfb.com that lets you call methods but you have to get the token yourself. So is there a way to do this using only a desktop app? Maybe embed a browser to a window popup?
I already know the process in getting a token explained here http://benbiddington.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/facebook-graph-api-getting-access-tokens so my question doesnt involve that. I need a way for the user to login into facebook using some kind of GUI.

Cameo movie roles to roadside trash collection, Claudia Kanne tackles it all.
�I�m impulsive, and I�m obsessive,� Kanne said Monday to explain why she spent Friday and Saturday picking up trash along County Road 210 from Centennial Plaza to its intersection with Wildcat Canyon Road (County Road 141).
What Kanne found � beer cans, liquor bottles, empty cigarette packages, fast-food containers and two hand-written love letters between women in jail treating erotic themes � filled several trash bags.
Kanne counted 181 beer cans. 41 glass beer bottles, 37 hard liquor bottles and miniatures, 22 cigarette packs, 35 soda cans and 38 plastic bottles.
The only trash that remained roadside were several hundred cigarette butts.
Kanne started her work Friday when she was driving from downtown Durango to her home in the Rafter J subdivision.
She was just back from Moab, Utah, where she had a bit part in the new �The Lone Ranger� movie starring Johnny Depp that is being filmed this summer in the Four Corners.
�I stopped to pick up two brown bottles standing upright,� Kanne, whose stage name is Claudia Adams, said. �But I couldn�t stop walking because there was one item after another.�
She went home for garbage bags and then returned Saturday to finish the cleanup.
�The road is beautiful, but it�s filthy,� Kanne said. �The lake area is becoming a dump, and it�s not even open to the public yet.�
Lake Nighthorse, which can be seen from the road, remains closed to the public as officials seek to finalize a plan for recreation at the lake.
A suggestion that Kanne could continue her cleanup from the Rafter J entrance down Wildcat Canyon to U.S. Highway 160 west brought a quick rejoinder.
�There�d be no end to it,� Kanne said. �I hope La Plata County rises to the occasion.�
Actually, it has, said Roxanna Harris from the county Road and Bridge Department, who coordinates volunteer cleanup of county roads.
�There are 59 sections of roads that have been adopted by volunteers,� Harris said. �County Road 240 and County Road 250 are nearly all adopted.�
C.R. 210 has not been adopted.

Revision as of 10:23, 19 December 2007 by RyanBagueros (Talk | contribs)
hi, i'm ryan bagueros. i do a lot of things:
- i'm co-founder of san francisco community colo, a non-profit colocation facility that provides at-cost server colocation to other non-profits, community groups and free software projects. while we are for the most part fiscally solvent through our model, we DO need financial help as well as network equipment donations. we also need volunteer sysadmins who can help eat away at our open ticket list.
- i'm co-founder of linefeed-dot-org, a non-profit developers network that provides technology support for modern, 21st-century socialist projects like those already happening throughout the americas. if you are interested in offering your programming, sysadmin, web design or project management skills pro bono to projects like this, get in touch. we mostly work in latin america, united states and the middle east.
- i've worked with indymedia for going on 8 years now. we are currently working on a breath-taking redesign of the global network (the technology part) which you can find more information about at san francisco indymedia.
- i'm excited to be a part of techmeet, a new annual summit of socialist/anarchist technology volunteers and collectives. this began in sao paulo, brazil in july 2006. in 2007, techmeet was "distributed" -- we held events in cities across the world and used video teleconferencing to hold our meetings. in 2008, techmeet will again hold a face-to-face meeting, either in buenos aires or bogota.
- i'm owner/founder of northxsouth, a for-profit free software business active in san francisco, california and sao paulo, brazil. we work within the latin american free software movement and also we offshore stateside programming/sysadmin jobs to america latina.
- my computing preferences include mutt and freebsd.
- i can read and write spanish and portuguese pretty well and i am actively studying both languages. i studied french for 7 years but i think that all i can claim is i read/write okay and i speak broken quebecois. i don't actively keep up on french. i've also studied arabic and in general i'm interested in languages and linguistics.
all that stuff takes a lot of time and money. all of the above are seeking well-to-do angels who can ease our financial burdens. we're also seeking reliable volunteers who can actually get stuff done.
my interest in the noise bridge project is that i'm looking to make friends by helping build something cool that's right in my neighborhood (i live a block away from the space).

I'm interested in what specific differences in Lenin's writing might address what he perceived to be the shortcomings of Marx's work. Wikipedia is weak on this topic.
In my reading of Lenin, he very rarely criticizes Marx. He is much more interested in developing the dialectical concepts of Marx (ie. Speaking to the development of capitalism, the worker's struggle , and the tactics of the of socialist movements. ). That said , his major theoretical developments was to challenge the overly mechanical interpretation of historical development by contemporary Marxists. Marx had divided historical development into 5 successive stages (primarive communism, imperial city state, feudalism, capitalism, and communism). Many Marxists held out that different regions were at different stages of economic development and that it was necessary for each region to proceed through each stage in order. Lenin's disagreement with this was important in the development of the Bolshevik movement, as most socialists agreed that Russia was in the feudalist stage and needed to develop capitalism (see primative accumulation) before developing socialist policies.
One of his other noteworthy innovations was the concept of the vanguard. He believed that without an intellectual class distinct from the working masses that the highest level of worker organization possible was that of the trade union. The vanguard was necessary to organize and instruct the uneducated and distracted worker.
As noted earlier his theory on capitalist development are outlined in Imperialism: The Highest stage of Capitalism, his tactical thoughts on organizing are best found in Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder and What Is To Be Done. Particularly relevant to this post is Karl Marx: A Brief Biological Sketch with an Exposition on Marxism. All can be found at http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/sw/index.htm

Is there a way I can specify the timezone LaTeX should use when printing the
\today and
\currenttime (or the datetime package in general)?
I need this because travisCI does build my PDF automatically on every commit and their timezone seems to be set to GMT. I'd need GMT+1.
Contrary to some other questions I don't want the timezone to be displayed, I just want the date & time to be in the specified timezone.
For building I use
latexmk with pdflatex set to LuaLaTeX.

@userPhotos = @rest.fql_query("select src_big, src_big_width,src_big_height FROM photo WHERE album_object_id IN

It produces a list of "one" album - the last album instead of producing a list of all albums owned by the user. I'm using FB explorer to check the FQL. It used to work properly but not now. Have you experienced that problem?

My defenders, no matter how good they are, or how bad the attackers are, always seem to get turned so easily.
This often happens when the ball is played to their striker, who has his back to goal, and he turns leaving my defender for dead and has a clear run on goal.
Is there any tactic or anything I can do to stop this?

guys what I'm trying to do is run a series of if checks in the code before executing a series of functions and custom code. One of these if checks will check to see if a post already exists and if so it will then check how old the post is and if the post is say over 48 hours in age it will delete that post and recreate a new one.
Something to the effect of:
global $wpdb;
if ( !is_user_logged_in())
echo 'You must be logged in.';
// check if title $my_post_name already exists in wpdb
else if ( is_user_logged_in()&& $wpdb->get_row("SELECT post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_title = '" . $my_post_name . "'", 'ARRAY_A')) {
// then check age of the post? assign age to a variable?
$time = age-of-post?
if $time >= 172800 // in seconds
code: delete the post and create a new one
$xtime = 172800 - $time;
echo 'You have already challenged' .$character. 'within the last 48 hours. You can challenge' .$character.'again in' .$xtime.'.';
I hope that sort of make sense. My question is how do you get the age-of-post and is there a function to delete a post already in wordpress? Or is there a simpler way to make posts go POOF after x amount of time?

Constantine Sidamon-Eristoff '57 LL.B.
December 26, 2011
Constantine Sidamon-Eristoff '57 LL.B. was a longtime public servant who gained renown as an impassioned environmentalist in his native New York. He passed away on December 26, 2011, at the age of 81.
A hereditary prince, Sidamon-Eristoff was born in Manhattan to a family of Georgian nobility that fled the invading Bolsheviks in 1921.
After studying geological engineering at Princeton, Sidamon-Eristoff served as an artilleryman in the Korean War and received the Bronze Star. He enrolled at Columbia Law School upon his return from Korea, and after graduation he served as an executive assistant to John Lindsay, who later became mayor of New York City.
Sidamon-Eristoff held several public service posts during the next four decades. He served as New York City's highway commissioner and as head of the city's transportation department. In 1974, he was appointed as a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and from 1989 to 1993 he served as head of the Environmental Protection Agency's regional branch covering New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Sidamon-Eristoff, a former chairman of the New York chapter of the National Audubon Society, is survived by his wife, the former Anne Phipps; his children, Andrew, Elizabeth, and Simon Sidamon-Eristoff '84; and a sister, Anne Sidamon-Eristoff '57 LL.B.
