'Shifty liberal' has poor grasp of meaning of fairness
Craig Hoffman, Cheshire
This is in response to Cyrus Miller's Nov. 28 letter, "Conservatives fail to grasp wisdom in pleas for fairness," responding to my Nov. 25 letter, "Why won't Obama, Demo-crats explain what 'fair share' is?" I would like to make the following observations.

It is is amazing how you site gun manufacturing a real hot botton political issue and you completely disregard what really ruined this state; especially Waterbury when the manufacturing left the state along with a lot of the rest of the country because of the allure of cheap labor overseas. That what ruined the economy so stop talking about guns that dont amount to a hill of beans. But I know you have to make your political point which is pointless. Go down to FL where you can stand your ground and shoot innocent kids. "

k- you are aware of all the negative effects that raising the min wage has on young minorities, right? the min is for entry level positions. if you're still at min after 90 days, you need to find a different job. and what conversation so you want to have about guns? costas was completely out of line and he's been back pedaling all week.

c4- i asked how much extra tax you give the government. obviously someone of your upstanding moral character must forgo taking the deductions that all of us greedy people take, no? i pay what i owe, just like everyone. the difference is, i hold them accountable for how they spend the money that i give them. i don't just trust that any pol has good intentions. their only objective is re election, and they buy votes with our money. until people take responsibility for their own circumstances, we can debate til the cows come home, makes no difference.
btw, taxes will go up for everyone. the pres and his lackeys have become the party of no. it's ok though. still more fair than sticking one group. "

k- you can't get to where you want to go with the country set up as it is. companies that don't remain profitable, or mismanage their assets go the way of hostess, they way gm and chrysler should have gone. you can only pay employees according to their value to the bottom line. it's not personal, or mean. it's just business. and i agree that ceo salaries are out of whack. a lot of things are. it would be great if everyone had a mba and earned above average wages, but that's not reality. i'm not saying capitalism is perfect, but communism failed and socialism is failing all over the globe.
i think we have the same goals as far as what we what for the country. the difference is in our vision of how we get from here to there. i don't oppose tax increases, as long as they are fair. i don't think you oppose spending cuts, as long as they are fair. as always, the devil is in the details.

t- while i agree that the job creators have failed miserably at their task, it has been historically proven that raising tax rates drives actual tax receipts lower. punitive taxation will not get the results we all want. o even said that raising the cap gains rate was an issue of "fairness", not revenue. maybe we could tie rate increases/reductions to actual performance in the area of job creation?

She is still stuck on the 15% investment income. It bothers her that some of us actually have money to invest (take a chance of losing it or making monei in the market). I just don't understand why with her savvy she isnt one of the 1%ers "ruining" this great republic. She is obviously the most money and tax savvy person in the city.
The living conditions in the slums of Waterbury prove my point. If you dont have a vested interest in something, you don't care about it. If the bottom 50% don't pay something, they don't care what happens to this country. They need to be invested in this government. They need incentive to get out of the slums, out of the $8hr job. Suplimenting their rent for their lifetime, having them pay in $1500/yr, then giving them a $6000 income tax check is not the solution Kitty, it's the problem. It hasn't worked in the last 40 years, it's not going to work in the next 40 either.
I'll try to explain this to you one more time Kitty (you must have missed that day in genius school). I earned my money working and paid taxes on it. Some of it I was able to save in the bank. I then took this (already taxed) money and invested it in a the stock market and was fortunate to make a profit on it. I then paid the 14% on the profit. I didn't dodge any taxes or use a "loop hole". I gladly paid what the government said I owe. There comes a point where the amount of tax owed on a profit weighed against the possible losses makes it not worth investing in this country. Then those with money will invest overseas, eliminating investment taxes.
Perhaps if we just change the name from Bush tax cuts to the Obama tax cuts, those who pray to the Anointed One would change their minds? "

That isn't true. Some of us are only worth a few dollars/hr. It's just a fact. If you at your job only make your employeer $10/hr, how do you expect him to pay you $15/hr? Do you want him to take $5/hr from the employee that makes the business owner $50/hr? Thats Socialism. "

Bardot or Bust!
An evening of style was in store for the intimate group of gals (and a few guys) who flocked to Bardot in Newport Beach for the debut of Korovilas' Girl on the Run line. Owner Dana Harmon played hostess as the ladies browsed the collection's breezy, flowy frocks and separates, and purchased a few pieces—perfect fits for spring on the shore. Also on hand: Maria Korovilas, the brand's designer and creative director; local stylist Jessica Johnson; and Ceek Jewelry's Esther Kim, who talked trends with shoppers like Janae Mumford, Alison Eastman and Christy Flanagan over sparkling wine and Champagne cocktails.

[FNR] ComboBox readonly problem
I'm creating a ComboBox using the following code:
ComboBox combo = new ComboBox<BeanModel>(); combo.setFieldLabel("Some Combo"); combo.setEmptyText("Select a value"); combo.setTypeAhead(true); combo.setTriggerAction(TriggerAction.ALL); combo.setDisplayField("name"); combo.setReadOnly(true); ListStore<BeanModel> store = new ListStore<BeanModel>(); store.setSortField("name"); store.setStoreSorter(new StoreSorter<D>()); combo.setStore(store); // Fill the ComboBox with some values
I think its a bug.
Could I be mistaken?
Besides this problem, have you considered not showing the drop down arrow of the ComboBox when its readonly? Same with the date picker on the DateField?

Shorewood begins dialogue on 'Spring Awakening'
high school's upcoming production of "Spring Awakening."Shorewood - Shorewood High School's auditorium was buzzing with conversation Thursday night where a public forum was held to ease tensions and start an open dialogue over the
The play-turned-musical covers masturbation, rape, sexuality and suicide - topics that are not typical dinner table conversation.
At the forum those for and against the play were present. With parents, student cast and crew members, residents, administration and representatives of five local organizations the panel and small group discussions covered topics from whether students were mature enough to understand and play the characters to how the themes are applicable. Julie Cummings, mother of a senior who is cast as one of the male leads, Melchior, is proud to support her son in his endeavor but is nervous about the students being put in emotionally charged roles.
"What concerns me is that performers are being put in a vulnerable position where they have to act out very difficult roles and scenes," Cummings said. "I think it is great to bring up these issues, but is putting them in these roles the best thing for our children?"

Superintendent Demond Means to stay at Mequon-Thiensville
Mequon-Thiensville Superintendent Demond Means has taken himself out of the running for the superintendent position at the Shaker Heights School District in Ohio, the district said today in a news release.
Means had been selected as a finalist for the Shaker Heights position. At a meeting last week the School Board voted unanimously to state its support for Means and its interest in having him continue at Mequon-Thiensville, later delivering the statement in person.
On Sunday, Means informed the board of his decision to remove himself from consideration for the Shaker Heights job.
"The Board of Education is thrilled that he will stay in Mequon-Thiensville," Board President Suzette Urbashich wrote in the release, "and we look forward to working with him to advance in the best interests of our schools, students and community."

Pharmaceutical research facility, with 50 jobs, proposed for Mequon
A start-up company formed by the founder of a Milwaukee-area drug ingredient maker is proposing to build a pharmaceutical research and development facility in Mequon, creating 50 jobs.
Major Pharmaceuticals LLC wants to develop a two-story, 79,000-square-foot facility on a 7.7-acre parcel immediately south of Executive Drive and east of Commerce St., according to a filing with the city Plan Commission. That site is in Mequon Business Park, near the northeast corner of Donges Bay and Wauwatosa roads.
The company, which will produce injectable serums, expects to complete the $10 million office and lab facility by late 2013, the filing said.
Major Pharmaceuticals will have an estimated 50 full-time employees, including 10 chemists and pharmacists, 15 lab quality assurance technicians and 25 process operators. The commission is to review the proposal at its Monday night meeting.
The company was launched by Michael Major, according to state corporation records.» Read Full Article
Wilson and Stone lead Dominican to state basketball title
Going back to last fall and the first game loss to Little Chute, maybe the Dominican boys basketball team was just the Duane Wilson and Diamond Stone show.
But in the mind of Wilson, the 6-2 silky-smooth guard who will head to Marquette next fall, it's become so much more than that, even after Wilson's 26 points and Stone's 22 led the Knights to their second straight WIAA State Division 4 championship with a 57-44 win over a game Aburndale squad this afternoon at the Kohl Center in Madison.
"Back then, everybody else on the team were looking for me and Diamond to do everything," Wilson said. "Now they have more confidence. They're looking to do more things on their own. It's not just Diamond and Duane anymore."
"It's the Dominican Knights."
Wilson was being a bit modest, for included in his efforts, was the fact that he almost single-handedly held the Apaches off in the fourth quarter, scoring all 14 of the Knights' points.» Read Full Article

Whitefish Bay can't keep pace with Pius
When your team sometimes has trouble generating a consistent offense, the last thing you as a coach want to see is a slow start.
That, however, is exactly what befell the Whitefish Bay girls basketball team in a WIAA Division 2 sectional semifinal game on Thursday evening, and the Blue Dukes paid dearly for it.
They fell behind Pius XI ,9-0, in the first 4 minutes, then spent the rest of the game trying to play catchup, which is usually not their forte.
Bay fought back to within four points but could not get over the hump and eventually lost, 46-30.
Pius improved to 22-3 and will take on New Berlin Eisenhower (23-2) at 7 p.m. Saturday at Brookfield Central in a sectional championship contest. Bay ends its season at 16-9.» Read Full Article
Wilson clutch as Dominican heads into another state final
If there was ever a panic time this season for Whitefish Bay Dominican, it may have been at halftime of the Division 4 state semifinal against undefeated Cuba City on Thursday night at the Kohl Center. Duane Wilson had just two points, and the Knights were down three.
Wilson was not going to let his team down. The senior erupted for 17 points in the second half to power Dominican to a 55-47 win, punching the Knights' ticket to the state final for the second straight year.
Dominican now plays Auburndale (26-1) at 12:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon as the Knights shoot for back-to-back state titles, a feat they last accomplished in 2004 and 2005.
"I told the guys we might not be where we want to be at halftime," said Dominican coach Derek Berger. "But at the end we will be. I think we started to wear them down at the end."» Read Full Article
Nicolet home to five students with perfect ACT scores
ACT Inc. has a standard response for how uncommon it is for students to earn a perfect 36 composite score on its national college admissions exam: Out of more than a million test-takers across the country, less than one-tenth of 1% earn that score.
This year, Nicolet High School is playing host to an unusually large number of them.
Superintendent Rick Monroe said Monday that two students from the Class of 2012 learned earlier this year they scored a 36 on the exam: Nancy Gao and Annie Jen, who is 15 (her twin brother, senior William Jen, who has also accelerated his high-school studies, scored a 35).
Earlier this year, Nicolet junior Ben Lawton learned he scored a 36.
And now, Monroe said he's been informed by ACT that two more juniors earned perfect scores: twin sisters Alexandra Heuer and Rachel Heuer.» Read Full Article
Dominican earns shot to defend its crown
It sounded, felt and looked like a state championship game, and for all intents and purposes, it might end up being just that.
Whitefish Bay Dominican took all it could handle from less-heralded Laconia, but the Knights are going back to Madison to defend their Division 4 state title after defeating the Spartans, 52-39, at the sectional final at Brookfield Central on Saturday.
Dominican will face a familiar foe in the state semifinals at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in Madison: undefeated Cuba City (26-0). The Knights defeated Cuba City, 61-43, for last season's state title.
The Knights separated themselves in the final quarter against Laconia, but until then, it was the dogfight Dominican head coach Derek Berger expected. After three, the Knights (22-4) were clinging to a 32-30 lead over the previously unbeaten Spartans (25-1).» Read Full Article
Despite lackluster offense, Blue Dukes march on
Whitefish Bay senior Madilyn Garcia admits that last year free throws were not her strong point. She worked at the discipline in the offseason and especially this week in practice.
It certainly paid off for the third-seeded Blue Dukes. The senior guard drilled three of four free throws in the final 36.5 seconds to hold off a pesky sixth seed Wauwatosa West squad, 27-21, in a WIAA Division 2 regional semifinal at Whitefish Bay High School on Friday.
Bay advances to No.2 seeded Wisconsin Lutheran on Saturday.
"I'm not sure why but I shoot free throws better when there is a little more pressure," said Garcia. "This week we played a lot of free throw games in practice and I did alright."
Garcia's free throws were much needed points for Bay (15-8), which struggled offensively for much of the game. Bay made just one basket from the field in the second half.» Read Full Article
Nicolet picks up the slack
Host Nicolet overcame early foul trouble to leading scorer Briana Gray and surged late to seize a 46-40 victory over West Bend East in a WIAA Division 2 regional game Friday night.
With the senior Gray on the bench after drawing her third foul with 6:15 remaining in the second quarter, the visiting Suns (9-14) capped a 6-0 run to grab an early 19-12 lead.
Senior Sara Travia would answer with consecutive 3-point baskets to trim the lead to one, but the game would remain a tight, back-and-forth affair throughout. Behind a balanced offensive performance, East led 23-22 at the half.
"Briana is a huge part of our offense," said Nicolet head coach Rick DeKeyser. "We have seven seniors so I just told them this is it. Someone is going to have to step up."» Read Full Article

Entrances N, P, R, S & T will not be accessible by supporters entering the stadium complex from Commonwealth Way. Supporters will be redirected onto Ashton New Road and will re-enter the site at the South end of the stadium opposite Entrance P.
Due to the above changes, we advise all supporters that use the Entrances affected to arrive and enter the stadium earlier than usual to avoid any delays in accessing the stadium prior to kick-off.
Visiting Supporters Access to the Etihad Campus & Etihad Stadium
In order to ensure that service diversion works can be carried out safely, hoardings have been erected at the South end (away end) of the Etihad Stadium.
This impacts the amount of space immediately outside the visiting supporters entrances and may impact queuing and access through these entrances; click here for a stadium plan. To assist fans arriving at the stadium, both additional signage and staff will be in place.
To ensure that all supporters enter the stadium via the correct entrances, we have implemented an additional soft ticket check upon arrival. We therefore advise all visiting supporters to arrive early to avoid any delays when entering the stadium. Read our Visiting Supporter Guide for more information.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to welcoming you to the Etihad Stadium.
Official Match Ticket
Entry to the Stadium will be granted on the presentation of a valid ticket purchased from the Club or through the Viagogo Ticket Exchange only. The Club excludes all liability to any supporter who is denied entry to the Stadium as a result of their ticket having been purchased through an unauthorised seller. The unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets may also amount to a criminal offence and the Club will inform the police as soon as it becomes aware of any unauthorised sale or disposal of tickets.
It is important that you have purchased, and are in possession of, the correct ticket and that it is activated to allow you access in to the stadium. If the supporter who originally purchased the ticket is no longer able to attend the match, please contact the Supporter Services team on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 1, option 3) to discuss, and where appropriate, upgrade your ticket. You can also upgrade on the day by visiting the Stadium Ticket Office. Failure to upgrade your ticket before you attempt to enter the ground may result in a stadium ban. We also advise all supporters to sit in the seat they have been allocated, failure to do so may result in further action being taken.
Ticket Collection
All home supporters who are collecting pre-purchased tickets may do so from the Stadium Ticket Office located in BT City Square (behind the stage). Supporters are strongly advised to collect their tickets at least 60 minutes before kick-off to avoid delays in getting into the Stadium. Supporters with queries relating to their Seasoncard or match ticket should also visit the Stadium Ticket Office.
Guests collecting Hospitality tickets should do so from either the City@Home reception located by Gate 11, or from the East Stand reception. All guests will receive confirmation of their collection point by email. Should you have any questions regarding your collection point, you can contact a Matchday Hospitality representative by email at email@example.com or by phone on +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 1, option 2).

I'm studying the remainder class $\mathbb{Z}_n$, I've grabbed something, but something else is unfocused. Let $$20x \equiv 4\pmod{34}$$ then GCD(20,34)=2 so I rewrite as: $$10x \equiv 2\pmod{17}$$ and successively: $$10x \equiv 1\pmod{17}$$ Now I know $\gcd(10, 17)=1$
Question 1: Why? Is this cause I've divided both $20$ and $34$ for the same $\gcd=2$? If $d$ is a $\gcd$ for $a$ and $b$, then $\gcd(a/d, b/d)=1$?
At this point I can: $$1=10\alpha + 17\beta$$ that will be: $$1=10(-5)+17\cdot 3$$
Question 2: I know that $-5$ is the solution of equation, but why I have to choose $-5$ more than $3$?
Now $-5$ is a solution for: $$10x \equiv 1\pmod{17}$$ and $-5\cdot2$ is a solution for: $$10x \equiv 2\pmod{17}$$ $[-10]_{17}$ is class, the entire set is $\{-10+17k: k\in\mathbb{Z}\}$.
Question 3: This set will contain all invertible elements. Right? Now If I took $[8]_{17}$ and $[7]_{17}$ why the class $[56]_{17}$ is not in the same class of $[1]_{17}$ since it is invertible, matter of fact, $\gcd(56,17)=1$? Is $\gcd(x,y)=1$ the only way to test if $[x]_y$ is invertible? I know that element $a$ was invertible if $ba=ab=1$, but this contradicts my knowledge.

This is an article of mine, first published on Wazi
Some find the fine art of capturing and interpreting the packets that run through your network to be as arcane as reading The Matrix, but you don't need to be the new Neo to be able to parse the network flux. A powerful ally can help you in this mission: Wireshark, a powerful software tool to analyze your network traffic.
Wireshark is several tools in one application. You can use it to analyze the structure of your wireless network in search of potential configuration errors. It can identify many types of encapsulation and isolate and display all the fields that make up a network packet. It also works as a packet sniffer, similar to tcpdump.
With all of those powerful capabilities, you might think Wireshark would be hard to learn. In some respects it is, but you can easily learn how to use some of the filters that come with the software and let you zero in on specific clients and kinds of traffic. In this article I'll show you several ways to use Wireshark to focus your searches.

Sounds of Suspense
Beverly Hills, Calif.
Considering that Lalo Schifrin scares people for a living, he hardly looks the part. Coming down the stairs of his home two weeks ago, one of Hollywood's leading creators of suspense-movie scores seemed almost bookish—with black-frame glasses, longish silver hair and a face creased as though he spends most of his time smiling.
"When I write a suspenseful score, I need to make audiences forget they are in a safe place," said the 80-year-old composer, conductor and arranger, settling into a sofa in the dimly lit den of his home, which once belonged to Groucho Marx. "Movie composers, they are like magicians. The music is there to contribute to the make-believe. With suspense, you must create concern where none exists."
Mr. Schifrin knows a thing or two about making palms sweat. Since 1963, he has written more than 100 suspenseful themes and scores for television and the movies—including "Mannix," "Bullitt," "The Cincinnati Kid," "Cool Hand Luke," "The Eagle Has Landed," four of Clint Eastwood's five "Dirty Harry" films, "The Amityville Horror" and the "Rush Hour" series.
This month marks the 45th anniversary of Mr. Schifrin's most famous soundtrack—"Mission: Impossible," which won him two Grammys and set new standards for TV and movie suspense music. On Tuesday, a four-CD set—"My Life in Music" (Aleph)—will be released, surveying Mr. Schifrin's prolific composing and recording career in film, jazz, bossa nova, classical and opera.
Mr. Schifrin's primary influences weren't traditional European-born Hollywood film composers like Max Steiner or Franz Waxman. "They had a different feel," he said. "My inspiration is opera. Listen to Verdi's 'Otello.' Never mind the arias—just listen to what's going on in the orchestra pit. The music is so theatrical."
Jazz also is integral to Mr. Schifrin's film scores. "In my heart I am a jazz musician who loves improvisation, rhythm and texture," he said. "Everything flows out from there." But crafting nerve-racking scores requires something more. "To build tension, I like to use scales of dissonant intervals—and the most dissonant minor chords."
Asked to demonstrate his method, Mr. Schifrin agreed to score a cellphone video clip shot by this writer. In the 45-second clip, a woman enters a New York City subway car and puts down a bag, her eyes darting. "I don't trust her," Mr. Schifrin said. "She looks like a terrorist."
Crossing the room, Mr. Schifrin sat down at his piano and began creating a theme using only the keyboard's lowest notes, pausing briefly between phrases. "Suspense is in the quiet spaces," he said. "Silence makes you anxious because you aren't sure what's coming next."
When Mr. Schifrin composed the "Mission: Impossible" score for the '60s TV series, he was told that the music not only had to be edgy but also catchy and memorable. "Bruce Geller, the show's creator, wanted music that called viewers back from the kitchen when the commercials were over," Mr. Schifrin said.
To ratchet up anxiety, Mr. Schifrin intuitively chose an unsettling time signature. "I suppose the Dave Brubeck Quartet's 'Take Five' was in my heart, but the 5/4 tempo just came naturally. It's forceful, and the listener never feels comfortable."
Mr. Schifrin has had his share of close calls. Born in Buenos Aires in 1932, he grew up in a musical family. "My father was concert master at Teatro Colón, the city's main opera house. I lived a block away, so I spent all my free time there watching and listening."
In 1952, Mr. Schifrin was accepted at the Paris Conservatoire on a music scholarship. But Juan Perón's secret police summoned him to find out why he sought to study abroad. "At headquarters, during my interview, they easily could have made me disappear," he said. "I could hear the tango playing below to mask the screams of those they were torturing. I told the inspector that my acceptance was an honor for Argentina. He stamped my exit visa and let me go."
In Paris, Mr. Schifrin played piano in jazz clubs but was nearly deported for playing without a work permit. "A diplomat at the Argentine Embassy told me to play at a recital attended by the French Minister of Education. Afterward, the minister gave me a card to see the Minister of Labor, who granted me a work permit."
In 1956, a year after the Perón regime fell, Mr. Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires as a professional jazz musician—much to his parents' dismay. "They feared I wouldn't be able to earn a living," he said. When Dizzy Gillespie performed in Buenos Aires later that year, Mr. Schifrin attended his concerts and played for him at a reception.
"Dizzy asked me to come to the U.S., but I didn't receive my green card until 1958," Mr. Schifrin said. Once in New York, he had to wait another year for a work permit from the musicians' union. "During this time, Dizzy asked me to write a piece for him. So over a weekend I composed a draft of 'Gillespiana,' an orchestral jazz suite."
After "Gillespiana" was recorded in 1960 and released, Mr. Schifrin became an overnight sensation among jazz musicians, and Gillespie invited him to join his quintet on a European tour. Before departing, Mr. Schifrin met Clarence Avant, a personal manager. "Clarence loved 'Gillespiana' and asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to go to Hollywood to write for the movies. I felt I needed a bigger platform for my music."
Mr. Avant put Mr. Schifrin in touch with jazz producer Creed Taylor, who signed him to Verve Records, a subsidiary of MGM. "Soon I met Arnold Maxim, who was on the MGM board and loved my 'Piano, Strings and Bossa Nova' album. Arnold recommended me for movie assignments, starting with 'Rhino!,' and I moved to California in 1963."
On the jazz side, Mr. Schifrin won two additional Grammys—one in 1964 for Jimmy Smith's "The Cat" and another in 1965 for Paul Horn's "Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts." In the decades that followed, Mr. Schifrin continued to compose, arrange and conduct film scores and albums with artists who included Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Cannonball Adderley, the London Philharmonic and the Three Tenors.
Today, Mr. Schifrin's body of work for the movies continues to generate attention world-wide: In October, he received the Max Steiner Film Music Achievement Award in Vienna, and he's the subject of a new French documentary. "Most action movies would be almost meaningless without the music," he said. "Watch one and cover your ears. Movies by themselves aren't suspenseful. It's the music."
Mr. Myers writes about music at JazzWax.com and is author of "Why Jazz Happened" (University of California Press).

NEW YORK (CBS, AP) -- The 33-year-old cold case surrounding the disappearance of Etan Patz took a turn Thursday, with New York police taking into custody a New Jersey man who authorities say has implicated himself in the 6-year-old's death.
In this 1979 photo provided by the New York City Police Department shows a missing child poster for Etan Patz. New York City Police and the FBI began digging up a New York basement Thursday, April 19, 2012 for the remains of the 6-year-old boy whose 1979 disappearance on his way to school drew helped launch a missing children's movement that put kids' faces on milk cartons
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports the individual, identified as Pedro Hernandez, then 18-years old, once worked in a SoHo shop just blocks from Patz's home in lower Manhattan. Detectives say he confessed to killing Patz. Sources say that Hernandez admitted to luring the boy into the store with candy, strangling him, and placing the body in a box. He said he put the box out with the trash and when he came back later, it was gone.
"He basically said he did it," a law enforcement source told CBS News. Investigators say while Hernandez's story may be difficult to corroborate, they believe he is credible.
While a source who has been briefed on the investigation could not provide details, the source indicated that it is unlikely a body will be recovered. "The way he [Hernandez] described how the body was disposed of, it does not sound like we would be able to recover remains at this point."
Hernandez, 51, was questioned by New York City detectives for hours in Camden, N.J., Wednesday before agreeing to come to New York City with investigators, where he has been questioned further at the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement earlier Thursday that the individual made statements "implicating himself" in the boy's 1979 disappearance and death, though official charges have yet to be filed. Speaking at a news conference on Coney Island, Mayor Michael Bloomberg cautioned that "there is still a lot more investigating to do," according to CBS New York.
Hernandez had lived in New Jersey since the early 1980s and his family members left his home Thursday afternoon under police escort without commenting. Hernandez has a trail of arrests for minor charges including bad checks, drunken driving, and at least one charge of domestic violence.
A woman who answered the door at Hernandez's Maple Shade, N.J., home confirmed to the Associated Press that he was in custody. Neighbors said he lived with a woman and a daughter who attends college.
"I can't believe something like that," neighbor Dan Wollick, 71, told the Associated Press. "This guy, he doesn't seem that way."
It's unclear what led police to question Hernandez. There has been a list of around 10 suspects in the cold case that the district attorney's office intended to focus on, but Hernandez wasn't on that list, Miller reports.
After vanishing May 25, 1979, while walking by himself for the first time to his school-bus stop, Patz sparked a national outcry over missing children, becoming the first missing child whose picture was put on the side of a milk carton. Friday is the 33-year anniversary of Patz's disappearance.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office reopened the search for Patz in 2010. In April, police and the FBI spent days digging up a basement in Patz's SoHo neighborhood looking for clues. Sources told CBS News then that cadaver dogs had indicated the presence of human remains during a search there but a subsequent search and analysis found no such traces.
Patz was officially declared dead in 2001 so the family could pursue a civil lawsuit against Jose Ramos, a convicted child molester serving time in prison who for years was the most prominent suspect. His girlfriend used to babysit Patz. Ramos has denied killing the boy, though a civil judge found him responsible for Patz's death in 2004.
Recently, investigators questioned a 75-year-old Brooklyn handyman who in 1979 had a workspace in the basement that was excavated last month. The man, Othniel Miller, was not named as a suspect and denied any involvement.
Miller's lawyer said there was no connection between Miller and Hernandez.
"There has been no law enforcement action taken or implicated against Mr. Miller as of yet. Mr. Miller is relieved by these developments, as he was not involved in any way with Etan Patz's disappearance," attorney Michael Farkas said.
The Patz family is on vacation out of state and was not available for comment on the latest developments.

There is a special Facebook link that will redirect anyone who clicks it to their own Facebook profile they are currently logged in on on their browser. The link goes like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506 (the link is harmless by the way, you can Google it if you are unsure)
I had some suspicion that this could be used for revealing identity of a person just by sending them a specially crafted link. I am not a programmer, but this is what I thought:
- Create a website that you link to the person you want to reveal the identity of.
- The website contains some clever redirect or parsing script that sucks in the data from this special Facebook link, and then sends it back to the server (attacker).
Is this technically possible?


text:
When an website or system is being attacked, is there ever a scenario where it should automatically take action against the attackers rather than just passively handling the attack? If so, what responses are appropriate and legal? Are there any examples (good or bad) of this happening in the wild?
Passive scanning such as determining geo location, IP address, network routes is probably a good idea (to give you an understanding of where attacks are originating from).
Update: Actually for larger institutions this is kind of essential in determining whether the attack is a large scale organised attack or simply a lone hacker testing out the defences. Either way it will probably be distributed. In either case it will provide useful information for further locking down the firewalls.
Depending on the legal framework of the country you live in, retaliating to an attack with a active network attack of your own (such as DOS or virus) would constitute an illegal act.
Fighting back is what the cool kids do! >:)
Regarding law, I grabbed this snippet from http://lawmeme.law.yale.edu/static/pastevents/digitalcops/papers/karnow_newcops.pdf (2005)
On a serious note there are so many bad hack-back scenarios to imagine that you have to wonder when you would be ready to pull the trigger; for example, what if you hack-back to stop a botnet attack only to later learn that some of the systems you counter-attacked were critical hospital system that were inadvertently part of the botnet herd.
Regarding examples, Richard Bejtlich blogged in 2005:
The #1 Question for me is: what do you hope to achieve in "fighting back"?
If I get stung by a mosquito, I'll kill it, but if it gets away I won't chase it across the field. If I get attacked by a swarm of bees defending their hive, I won't swat them - I'll protect myself by running away.
The dangers of fighting back are well presented in the other answers, but I'll repeat them:
My personal choice of reactions:
Hack-back also leads to a new type of attack: Kallisti. "Joe Jobs" spoof the source of attack to trick defenders into attacking the spoofed source. The "Kallisti" attack would try to cause a hack-back loop between 2 or more sites, either to create noise in which to hide the "real" attack or just to cause chaos. (Hail Eris)
A related response could be to set-up a honey trap to attract attackers and make them think they succeeded. Let them waste time and effort while you trace them, maybe. Although that sounds like a bad script from a Hollywood film.
An interesting case in the Netherlands is appropriate here.
The Dutch Police (KLPD) brought down some servers that run a big botnet. They deemed it legal to use the botnet now to send a message to the owners of the machines to inform them that they are infected.
There is some discussion about whether it was actually legal, but I think most people agree it's an ethical thing to do.
This case is quite different from what you as a company would face, but if this is already questioned as being not legal when done by the police, one should wonder whether any action towards the attacker can be taken at all.
Is it ever appropriate to become a criminal and put yourself, your organization and your entire livelihood in jeopardy of legal action? This is not a case of a masked gunman putting you in a fight or flight situation. Yes, you could concoct a scenario where an internet borne attacker is threatening human life through an attack on systems critical to hospitals or some such thing. However, even in those situations, there is no precedent that I am aware of that justifies the same reactive force be applied as in a physical altercation. Likely the systems that you would be attacking are innocent service providers or end users that have been hijacked for malicious purposes. It would be no different than setting fire to an automobile that was stolen and used in a bank robbery.
Immediately plug the holes that an attacker is exploiting. Immediately report the incident to the proper authorities. Do not let your emotions take over and convince you to stoop to the same level as your aggressors.
Another point to take into account, is how the badguys can subvert your counter-attack.
For example, they can send malicious packets with spoofed IP addresses, knowing you will detect this, and in retaliation attack the source of the attack - or actually, the innocent server that is actually registered at the spoofed IP.
Thus, they are using you to attack their victim, the spoofed 3rd party.
Don't forget, the attacked company will now believe - correctly - that your servers are attacking theirs. Never mind that you believed that you had just cause to do so - that is irrelevant, point of fact that you are actively attacking them. And they will have reason to press charges, or whatever.
An interesting scenario would be if the 3rd party victim is also configured to counter-attack. Then, of course, you will be receiving actual attacks from their server - this time, for real, but of course that was YOUR fault, wasnt it?
Both sides would probably DoS each other before real harm was done... unless they both choose to escalate and scale out... THEY COULD BRING DOWN THE WHOLE INTERTUBES!
The answer is pretty certainly no, don't do it.
I can imagine a scenario where a worm is attacking you and because you know that the worm spreads via vulnerability X, you know that all computers that are attacking you have vulnerability X. It may be possible for you to use vulnerability X to access the infected computers and warn their users, or even shut them down.
While you might think this is a morally acceptable thing to do, it's very dangerous ground. What if something you do goes wrong, e.g. leading to data loss that wasn't caused by the worm, or you anger the original worm creator who then wants to retaliate against you in another way. It's likely to be illegal in most jurisdictions as well.
When you are the victim of an attack, your situation implies that you currently have:
By "fighting back", you loose the third, and most probably the second. You will not necessarily get rid of the problem, though. Fighting back is illegal in most countries; it will prevent you from claiming assistance from police forces and, perhaps more importantly, it will void insurance (your insurance company will be quick at pointing that out). Last but not least, your retaliation may harm bystanders and plunge you into bigger trouble than what you started with.
So, no, not worth it. Use passive protection, and call the police.
I have an excellent example stated by Ivan Orton (Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney who specializes on IT crimes) during his speech for Stanford online course's students (Sorry I can not upload the video to youtube, because of the policy of website):
After having this question he speaks a lot about different similar scenarios in non electronic word (it is too long to put it here, but if someone would like, I would) and in the end he stated: You may be tempted to use active defence and you may have some liability associated with that and keep in mind but right now there is no clear law regarding this issue and a lot depends on the jury (This is not exactly his words - it is shortening of his 7 minutes talk regarding this issue)
I hope this will make it clear, how unclear the situation with active defence is.

We've long since been firm advocates of the Meantime Brewing Company, and it's largely because they've had such great success in fighting against the rather dull mainstream of mass-produced lager that our nation is sadly awash with. Meantime focus heavily on quality and authenticity, shunning methods like pasteurisation, whilst making use of a minimum 28 day maturation period for all their beers. But despite all this attention to detail, one of the truly great things about the brewery is how prevalent their beer is; you can walk into Sainsbury's and buy a bottle of their London Porter or IPA, and we love that.

I have to work with multiple game engines, like
- Cocos2d
- Unity3d
- Galaxy
While working with multiple game engines, what practices should i follow?
EDIT: Is there any guideline to follow, that would be better as while any one working with multiple game engines?
EDIT: While a game made by Cocos2d and done well at AppStore, then our target it to port to other platforms, then we utilize Unity3D. Here what should we do?

- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, and beat until the mixture comes together to form a dough. You may need to bring it together with your hands at the end.
- Roll the dough into 16 balls, each about the size of a walnut, and place on the baking sheets. Press the middle of each one with your thumb to flatten it, or use a fork, which will decorate it at the same time. Bake for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle over the melted chocolate (if using), and allow to set before serving.
- Buy good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate (if using)-it will make all the difference.

text: I have been reading fantasy books for about 15 years now and one series that I've never read but always meant to was the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. I've always avoided spoilers of this series as I've known I would read it one day. With the news that the final book is due to be released next year I though it would be the perfect time to start. What would you guys say I have in store for me? How does it shape compared to Erikson, GRRM, Bakker et al. I've read a lot of so called "Gritty" fantasy over the last few years and I have a feeling this isn't so much, which actually might be a nice change of tone. I have one concern that it may be more geared towards younger readers, in the same vain as Eddings, is this the case also?

Suppose I read a file with
B = Import["something.wav"]
Now how can I obtain a list of sample values?
You want this:
This imports the raw data of sample values. For example, on a test file of approximately 10 seconds, stereo at 48000 Hz, data is an array of size 2 × 520192 (from which I can deduce that my recording was actually 10.84 seconds).
See the documentation for WAV format import/export, as well as this answer on a related question for some more details.
Going at it differently, if you already have imported your file as a
This in turn contains the raw data:

Is there a nice reference for the classification of closed 3-manifolds with solvable (nilpotent, abelian, etc.) fundamental group, assuming the Geometrization Conjecture?
Here are some references that may help answer your question:
A little nugget (due to John Milnor): among the Brieskorn manifolds $\Sigma(p,q,r)$, the only nilmanifolds are $\Sigma(2,3,6)$, $\Sigma(2,4,4)$, and $\Sigma(3,3,3)$, which are circle bundles over the torus with Euler number $1$, $2$, and $3$, respectively.
Although I am late to answer this question, I wanted to put in a sales pitch for the flow charts at the end of Thurston's book (Figures 4.22 and 4.23). They do a great job for dealing with your questions for oriented manifolds.
In the first chart, Thurston uses "almost" to mean virtually, i.e. has a finite index subgroup with some property. Considering compact manifolds with abelian fundamental group, we have the following classification. (The references are to Thurston's book although older references exist for nearly all of these statements.) If $\pi_1(M)$ is finite, then $M$ is a lens space with finite cyclic fundamental group (see Theorem 4.4.14). If $\pi_1(M)$ is not finite and abelian, then $\pi_1(M)= Z, Z\times Z\times Z$ . The first case implies that $M\cong S^1\times S^2$ (see Exercise 4.7.1) and the second implies that $M \cong T^3$ (see Theorem 4.3.4).
As Richard Kent points out the paper of Peter Scott is a wonderful reference and these last two facts are discussed in greater detail there.
Finally to finish our classification for oriented manifolds, we also have to worry about the cusped manifolds. In general, the second chart has this information. The one caveat is that the unknot and Hopf link complements ($S^1\times D^2$ and $T^2 \times I$) might not neatly fit on this list, because they do not admit a cofinite $H^3$, $\widetilde{PSL(2,R)}$ or $H^2 \times R$ structures. However, unknot and Hopf link complements should be added to our list of manifolds having abelian fundamental groups as well since their fundamental groups are $Z$ and $Z\times Z$, respectively. I believe they are not considered in this chart because they would not show up in a decomposition prescribed by the Geometrization. For example, if you attach a Hopf link complement to the boundary of geometric piece via a boundary identification the resulting manifold remains geometric.
The non-orientable case, includes $S^1 \times P^2$, which has fundamental group $Z \times Z/2Z$ (see Epstein's paper Theorem 9.1).

Papa John's - Pepsi50 - 50% off
50% Off Regular Menu Price
Nation Wide Offer
Expires 12/2/12
52 Comments add a comment
For someone complaining he will have to raise pizza cost to deal with the healthcare requirement, Papa Johns sure doesn't seem to sell any pizza at regular price.
I havent bought a Papa's pizza in years, since his employees accosted a friend of mine who stutters. He was ordering a pizza and the manager thought he was being a smart ass. He told my friend to get screwed* and f off. This was all before the health care debacle..
tl;dr :DO NOT SUPPORT THIS HORRIBLE MAN
@necrix: Was it a corporate-owned location or a franchise? Why would we boycott a company nationwide because of one bad manager at a location near you? And did you do anything to report this manager?
God I love Peyton Manning
OK pizza, Substandard treatment of employees: Papa John's.
@jrpigman: OK is a stretch, the only national Papa I like is Papa Murphy's.
Can it still be a good deal even if you don't like the product? Where's that "What's a deal" question when you need it.
Every place has a gimmick. Do you guys really think America runs on Dunkin?
Sorry, the deal isn't clear to me. Is this 50% off anything on the menu with code "Pepsi50"? I have mixed feelings about buying PJ's pizza these days. I think the owner is being a petulant, whiny little b** railing and shaking his fist at the heavens because he's being forced to provide his workers with better living conditions, something any business owner with real integrity aspires to. On the other hand I know a lot of people who work for PJs and their livelihood depends on people continuing to buy pizza from this guy . It's a bit of a conundrum.
@necrix: If by "Don't support this horrible man" you are referring to the ONE manager who was rude to your friend at your ONE location, then fine I will pretend I know where that is and not buy from that one location. If you are talking about Papa John himself, then NO! I will continue to buy delicious pizza for 50% off sir, thank you very much.
Unless you reported this manager to the company and they didn't apologize for his behavior and offer you a free pizza, then it's irrational to chastise the company as a whole.
Why do people think it is the responsibility of the employer to take care of employees and provide a better living for them? People do not go into business to support their employees. They go into business to make money. If people think that working for Papa John's is not worth the pay or lack of benefits then they can work somewhere else. If Papa John's did not have employees because people were not willing to work for the wages they were offering or lack of benefits one of two things would happen. 1. They would goe out of business or 2. They would raise wages and benefits.
Bitter Ingredients, Bitter Pizza. Papa John's.
Does this mean he raised the price 28 cents so I'm still paying 14 cents more for the health care?
@flyingace81: I'm not sure why you are making political comments on a deals website. I think what people are saying is that the Papa John's CEO is an a@#hole...not that he should provide healthcare. The Papa is regularly making stupid comments and belittling his employees.
@flyingace81: It's not unreasonable to expect an employer to pay a decent wage and to provide benefits for full-time employees. how do you propose employees take care of themselves and their families otherwise? It has to come from somewhere. Have you tried paying for insurance on your own? It's extremely expensive for the individual, let alone a family.
From what I understand, the franchise would have to raise pizza prices by 12 cents to cover the costs. I don't know about you, but I would gladly pay that if it meant its employees weren't screwed over by the corporation for which they work.
As for going somewhere else... do you think people would work there if they could find somewhere better?
This deal is only good on Pizza - not wings or sides.
@peaceetc: Yeah, it does have to "come from somewhere" - like you maybe educating yourself or otherwise acquiring a skill that confers a good living, instead of expecting to roll out of bed and stumble in to a $35K a year job with a pension and bennies.
And the issue isn't a pizza going up in price by a dime, or a nickel or whatever. It when EVERYTHING goes up by a dime. That's when it starts hurting. And that's what's coming.
/rant over....bring the TD's.
@mgherter: Wow, your assumptions about people are scary. How do you know people who work at such jobs aren't going to school or saving money to fund their education? How do you know those who do have educations are going to be able to find better jobs?
Nobody is saying Papa John's should provide $35k jobs or pensions. That's a silly notion. But paying their employees instead of knocking them down to part-time just to avoid doing what the law says... that's far worse than nickel and diming.
@peaceetc: Sounds like the company is working within the confines of the law as opposed to "avoid doing what the law says"; but then, I'm from the old-school type of thinking that if you can afford that cell phone with data & texting, that monthly cable / satellite service, and smoking / drinking / eating out / Starbucks, you can afford to pay for a yearly physical as well - or choose to spend your money on a private health insurance plan (MUCH cheaper than group rates). Hopefully, ALL the part-time minimum wage people are working their way through school so they can enjoy and appreciate the benefits of their labor.
I recommend the Double Bacon 6 Cheese. It's delicious!
@peaceetc: So should we just be sheep and ignore that adding a dime or a quarter to everything we buy is going to affect businesses, consumers and families? What's wrong with a business owner stating that the new health care law will make him do one of two things raise prices to his consumers or have fewer full time employees so he can stay in compliance of the law. If you find what Papa Johns does so repugnant you can always open your own pizzeria that provides as much full time work and full benefits as you see fit.
I have not gone to chik-fil-a since the Palin family made it the official restaurant of the Republican Party.
we have not ordered Papa Johns pizza since all of comments came out during the election. we stopped pshopping at Home Depot when we found out that the CEO was pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into a super PAC fund against President Obama. If own a company or are in a high ranking position you should watch what you say because too many people are paying attention and listening and making their own decisions.
Wow. Some serious class warfare up in this piece.
Minimum wage was instituted to prevent employers from abusing people who need work to survive. If you'll do a job for 7 bucks an hour, I guarantee that someone else is willing to do it for 6, and someone even worse off is willing to do it for 5, and so on.
Some of the underlying assumptions here are that people are expecting handouts and not trying to better themselves. I think that's false, and life's circumstances are different for everyone. But consider if everyone in this country decided to pursue a doctorate level degree. Who would make our pizzas? Doctors. Earning minimum wage. You see, in our competitive free market, not everyone can be a winner. (That's the 'competitive' part) Someone has to lose.
Also, many of us take our national stability for granted. But as a history buff, let me tell you that: unhappy workforce + uncaring upper class + narrowing middle class + access to fire arms = revolution. People who get rich and don't care for their employees standard of living (and/or ship jobs overseas) are doing themselves and their country a disservice.
Also, I like pizza.
@flyingace81: Sounds like someone has a nice trustfund.
@omnichad: corporations bear some responsibility for leasing their image to people who won't tarnish their brand; I fully support this guy in lobbying against the entire corporation based on one bad apple. That said, I value cheap food.
@necrix, Write Papa John a letter and demand satisfaction!
@big0range said "a private health insurance plan (MUCH cheaper than group rates)"
Pics or it didn't happen.
I was in the individual market (healthy, 24 years old, male) and I paid as much as I do now (as a member of a group) for what was little more than catastrophic coverage. I still pay the whole thing myself, btw -- not subsidized by the gov or employer, but I have full coverage.
Group policies provide economies of scale to insurers. Insurers then negotiate cheap reimbursement rates b/c they "give" economies of scale to doctors. Individuals who can't get on a group policy are, as I understand it, f'ed.
@peaceetc: I propose employees take care of themselves and their families by learning a trade or skill that earns enough to support said family (or, if they can't, don't have the family). Is that unreasonable? I'm sorry but driving a pizza from one building to another isn't a trade or skill (I know, I did it for about 5 years - while I was learning a valuable skill). I have no sympathy for the fools still working there who just sat around in their free time. But, at the store where I worked, every one made more than minimum wage.
@greyham28: And how do you know that parent Papa Johns was even made aware of this injustice? Any terrible person can be hired. But they certainly aren't going to lose their jobs if no one is told about it. Start with proper channels, then move up to a boycott. You can't infer that they support this terrible manager just because that manager exists.
@wisenekt: So, your complaining that someone who is giving people more affordable food is somehow bad because he's being forced to to "deal" with an added burden to his business... which he employs thousands.
Yeah.. great argument. Mock the guy who makes his food cheaper for people.
I think if people don't like how PJ, as an employer, is treating them... then they may want to aspire to more than being an employee at a pizza place. If you don't like how much they pay, go somewhere that pays more. If you don't have the education or skills to go elsewhere, then don't blame PJ.
And, I think that those of you who whine about PJ raising prices to cover a new tax on his business (not yours), then you will have a great wake up call as you see prices rise on everything. You obviously don't understand that costly burdens on business (be it taxes, regulations, or other) eventually comes out of the consumers pocket. The average cost per gallon of milk right now is $3.52. In 2009 it was $3.04. It didn't go up because there are less diary cows.
Stop whining. Either buy their pizza, or don't. If you don't like how he runs his business, go start your own.
Does this work on the triple corndog pizza? I heard it has a mustard sauce.
@viciousspike: Thank you for what you wrote. It's nice to see something reasonable instead of biased crap of others.
Whoever posted this deal is awesome...that is all.
@kmeltzer: I mock the guy who makes a crap load of money of the backs of those people, but then balks when he might have to spend a few more dollars to make sure they're treated properly.
I think you have to get Pepsi with this deal. I guess that was clear to everyone except me. :( Deal killer.
@peaceetc: Off the "backs of"? You sound like you're bathing in Kool Aid, bubba. You know John Schnatter started by delivering pizza, right? You know his first shops started by making no profit, and he built the business up from the ground, right?
On the backs of who? The ones he doesn't force to get paid by working for him, or the franchises? Give me a break.
EDIT: And, I'll note that if you don't think you're being "treated properly" as an employee.. go somewhere else. Aspire more to making pizza for someone else. Stop being a crybaby, and take your own life in your own hands. Nobody owes you anything.
@vmedcalf: Follow everything to the end of the checkout. You don't have to get any drinks. I've gotten three pizzas so far.
@kmeltzer: Actually I was kind of laughing at irony of another deal for Papa Johns because I don't know of anyone that has paid full menu price for a pizza from there. Deals are used to drive customer traffic but when you have a deal every day, it loses it's luster.
Your cost of ingredients argument is valid because that is the nature of things. There was talk that prices were going to go up anyways because of the cost of the raw ingredients to make the pizza but all you heard was how the cost increase is due to the health care bill, not the normal cost of doing business. Healthcare could be a none factor but the price of milk and cheese goes up so costs have to increase. It just seems a little suspicious that news articles were talking about ingredient cost increase and all Papa Johns is talking about is healthcare.
@kmeltzer: "EDIT: And, I'll note that if you don't think you're being "treated properly" as an employee.. go somewhere else. Aspire more to making pizza for someone else. Stop being a crybaby, and take your own life in your own hands. Nobody owes you anything."
Would love to hear what you think about those folks that died in the garment factory fire. I'm pretty sure that they were at least owed a exit that was viable and fire extinguishers that worked. That was America just over 100 years ago. Don't like working in an unsafe environment, go somewhere else. Don't want to be worked 16 hours a day, 6 days a week, go somewhere else. Such a shame where everyplace is operating under the same procedures because that is what puts the most money back into the business.
Go for education and make more money and get benefits? That works well until everyone has the same education. 60 years ago you were golden with a high school diploma. 20-30 years a bachelors. What will it be in the next 5?
@peaceetc: So what is a fair wage for someone who built a business from one location his father co-owned to something that has employed tens of thousands of people, since you seem to know all the answers?
@russ6169: http://abiteofpizza.com/
You'll always know the best deals for your local Papa John's (or domino's).
I am in no way associated with the site. Just a fan.
@wisenekt: Not everyone knows about the coupons. Seriously. I was amazed, but they don't. Most of the prices are "specials" which are really just regular price, since they are always the "special" price.
My point on the cost of things wasn't about ingredients. It's about how the prices of things go up because of the cost of doing business. It costs more to get milk to you (transport, fuel), so milk costs more. It costs more to get milk (electricity, feed, etc...) from a cow, so milk costs more. The farmer isn't eating the costs, the transporter isn't eating the costs and the store isn't eating the costs. The consumer is. The additional, mandated, tax is exactly the same as if fuel prices rise, or if regulations deem additional safety-widgets be installed in a factory. People mock him, but he's just being vocal about what everyone will be doing. Passing along his additional expense, to you.
@wisenekt: As for the fire in Bangladesh which I think you're referring to... I have no thoughts on it. There are risks in the workplace. And, what America was like 100 years ago has little to do with the basic fact that added costs are passed along to the end user.
I'm not sure how you think everyone would have the same education. I have a college degree and make good money. I know people who have high school diplomas and make good money. It's not always the education, it's the skill. Some skills mean schooling, some don't. But, if for you, delivering or making pizza for someone else isn't paying you enough or giving you a lifestyle you want, then figure out how to better yourself. People on random message boards saying someone doesn't "treat their employees well" needs to realize those employees are a) employed, which millions of others are not right now and b) have some personal responsibility to get themselves to where they want to be.
yes... use code "Pepsi50" ... do it when you first get to the site and it will work.
Well I love pizza for one, and PJ's serves better than anything I ever had in Italy. Maybe my palette isn't "sophisticated" but dang this stuff just rings the bell for me. If you're petulant enough to boycot a food establishment because you don't like the founder, then so be it. But please keep your politics to yourself you whiny turds. 50% off of regular menu prices is a good deal!
@greyham28: Thanks man - much appreciated!
I like Papa Johns pizza, especially at this price. I don't care if he beats his wife, hires Chinese slave labor, or doesn't wear his seatbelt.
Are people at Dominos and Pizza Hut making 40k a year with free healthcare and paid vacations, I doubt it. People said that if Barry's healthcare bill was passed businesses would do this kind of thing and it was poo pooed by the people that wanted it passed. Now that it's happening they are all outraged. Remember Pelosi saying we have to pass it to know what's in it. Well now you are finding out what's in it.
@kmeltzer: Why do you see making pizzas as such a horrible profession? Through out most of history people made a living working at shops. Not every one can own a pizza chain. Some one has to make the pizzas, and if they do it well they should be rewarded with a pay check that will pay the bills, not have their hours cut so the CEO can add another 20 car garage to his mansion. I'm not taking it away from Jon for creating his business, he should be recognized for that and he surely can remember what it was like when he started. I'm sure he had plenty of people that gave him a helping hand when he started and he has the opportunity to do that now, but instead he is the one pulling the rug out from under their feet. He spends so much time giving things away to the customers, but what about a little customer service for his employees?
I clicked on this deal to express my disdain for how Poppa John treats his employees, but I have been sorely beaten to the punch by nearly everyone in this thread, so I will just ad to not forget to support guys like Jim Sinegal (head of Costco) who actually appreciates the value of his workers! They sell pizza by the slice dirt cheap there too wink
@flyingace81: Preach on Brother!!
@phalx: You can buy Costco's cheap pizza if you pay the $55 a year membership fee.

You say the name Harbaugh near WKU, and many think of the legendary head football coach jack.
But it's his sons, John and Jim, who are making the name famous by being the first brothers to face off as head coaches for opposing teams in the Super Bowl.
In 2002, Jack Harbaugh lead the Hilltoppers to their first division 1-AA National Championship.
It was said that yesterday when his sons faced off in the NFL divisional championships, he and his wife were at home watching the game. That has old friends wondering if they'll be sitting at home quietly come Super Bowl Sunday.
"Can you imagine a mom and dad, the only two sons they've got, and they're playing for the superbowl, and they both make it," said "Mr. Western" Lee Robertson.
The man who worked along-side Jack Harbaugh at WKU as the athletic trainer says no matter where they are, their mother Jackie will likely be making some noise.
"She'll be yelling at the referees... holding!" said WKU Athletic Training Director Bill Edwards.
Edwards says jack always talked about how different his sons were.
"He would always say, I don't understand how both of these guys could be so different, but be brought up in the same house, having the same mother and father, eating the same food...but he'd always talk about how different they were," said Edwards.
Robertson says Jim is much like his father, an outgoing presence on the field, while John seemed to be more like his mother.
"John is a little laid back, and a little calmer and a little easier going, not ready to jump out there," said Robertson.
Edwards says their mother Jackie did have one dream, that the three could one day coach together.
They may not be on the same team, but she will get to watch a once in a lifetime display of coaching, and one will come home with a ring.
Edwards says Jim Harbaugh actually helped his dad coach on the WKU sidelines when he was in town, and it's no surprise both sons inherited his talents.
