I doubt we're wrong about Byronic and if we are it doesn't matter any more but infecting a villager probably means Byronic is a baddie. If the real baddie is just trying to frame him then big deal because he was getting killed anyway.

We just waiting on Byron now?
Yep and then we either admit defeat or decide who he infected. I don't look forward to either scenario.
Ah well, lynch Bizarro.
The villagers gathered around Byronic Man, trying to figure out how they were going to one-up what they did before, while still sticking to the theme of burning people alive in order to purge the disease. They decided to bind Byronic Man by his hands and feet, sail to Cape Canaveral, and toss him under a rocket that is launching into orbit. As the NASA scientists ordered the launch, they watched in horror as a helpless man was thrown under the rocket. Byronic Man seemed to disintegrate just like the NASA space program, but after his blood boiled and his skin burst, a hundred rats exploded from inside of him, only to be roasted by the vessel on its way out of the atmosphere.
Byronic Man was killed. He was the Rat King.

After having celebrated catching and killing the Rat King, the villagers celebrated at the local pub. They ate, drank, and were as merry as merry could be. Each probably drank too much, but one of them was sipping tonic and lime all night, preparing for revenge. The others didn't know it, but before the Rat King was destroyed, he had crowned a Rat Prince among them. The next morning, as each was waking up on his (or somebody's) bathroom floor, covered in vomit, Muckfoot woke up only to find that he was actually dead, what from all of the rats that ate him. At least he had pre-anesthetized himself with all of the liquor from the night before, so he didn't feel the pain and terror that the previous victims had.
Muckfoot was swarmed by a plague of rats and eaten alive.

Nah, you tasted delicious because you had essentially marinated yourself in whiskey.
Well, here's the tricky part. Since one of us is only a baddie starting from now nothing we've said in the past can be used against us. This is going to be a random lynching.
For what it's worth I'm not a baddie. If anyone has the ability to read Byron's mind now would be the time.
Well Emma come out and say it, I'm the seer but I haven't checked up on either you or Bizaro throughout the game so I haven't got a clue which one of you it is. I had muck as a confirmed villager but now he's out of the question.
Right, well, since I can slap you in real life if you turn out to be lying I'll Lynch Bizarro.
I'll give him a chance to speak before I make my desicion.
I'm not sure what to make of your haste to hang me Hatman, maybe you smell blood and want to conquer the Village with your new rat army or maybe you're just an impetuous young scamp like the red pandas you so adore, explain yourself hatted one.
First person i looked into was ZP, this is the reason that i chose not to hang him. Second night was Lizard King, at this point i was just randomly choosing people because of no suspicion. Then i checked DJ, he said a few things that made me suspect. Then i checked Muck because was trying to get a lynch on me.
I explained my reasons perfectly, I can slap noobspoon on Friday if he's lying about being a seer. I've also been in the same situation as him in a game.
I'm inclined to side with you, noobspoon and I'd like you to trust me over Hatman and help me win my first game as a Villager where I last till the end. I've gotten close, and been duped in the past which may well happen again but if I had to guess I'd say Byron would pick Hatman to replace him, of the four options he had at the time Hatman would've been the safest bet in my opinion. He's skated by pretty much unnoticed, choosing him over someone like me who has been outspoken and gotten people killed or you, a person I had on my Murder List up until we hung Byron would be a bit riskier.
Imma side with Byron on this one, Sam can be a devious man. Lynch hatman.

Our Toaster isn't doing well, planning to replace it with a toaster oven to get some more versatility on the counter top. What features are good? I've looked and there are ones ranging from simple $25 models to $250 with a laundry list of features. Just wonder what's useful and what's not, hope to find a good one that's $120 or less really, but I'm willing to pay extra if it's worth the money.
I actually debated asking a similar question last month, as I managed to set mine on fire the day after Christmas, and based on the new one I got, differences I've noticed (mostly features I miss from the old one; also a few things I've noticed at my neighbors and mom's house.
... so um ... those are just some of the features I've noticed. Some people might care about the 12" pizza thing, I personally don't. The timer vs. push button for the controls are likely a personal preference, as is the attached rack to the door vs. height adjustable/removable rack.) The only really must-have is the removable crumb tray which Allison mentioned. (even though you can go years without worry until there's a fire)
If you don't care what your appliances look like, the primary feature to look for is the ability to get in there and clean the thing. Toaster ovens are flexible and convenient, but at the end of the day the worst feature to not have is a way to clean them.
Depending on what else you have available to you, I found that a counter top oven works very well for me. I have the ability to toast, but it also is an oven, a broiler and a convection oven. There have been several times when I needed to have several things cooking at the same time (American Thanksgiving) and I was able to do the yams in the countertop oven, or a pie, or even a roast chicken once when the trickier item was taking up the main oven. If you already have double ovens, that probably won't matter as much to you, but I have a small house and a single oven and the counter top model is a blessing when we're entertaining, or even when I want to heat the kitchen a bit less than the full oven.
For me, then, being large enough to take a casserole or a pie was important, and the convection feature I use all the time because smaller ovens tend to be less even for their heat.
Many of the other issues have been covered above, but allow me to suggest one more: Toast timing mechanism.
On some toaster ovens, there are separate timer controls for toasting and for the oven. The coaster control will be in terms of toast darkness (or maybe 1-10), while the oven timer will be in terms of minutes. This is in my opinion the superior way to do it.
On my crappy Euro-Pro toaster oven, there is one timer for both the oven and the toaster. I have no idea how long it takes to get toast to my desired doneness, and the timer doesn't quite have the precision to handle times like 2 minutes, whereas for an oven that sort or precision never seems necessary.
One thing to consider is whether you want it for a toaster mostly or an oven mostly.
If you mostly want toast, think about how much air you're going to have to heat to get the bread toasted--a tall oven will work more slowly and be less efficient than one that's pretty close to the bread on both sides. This is also helpful if you think you'll be broiling in it.
Conversely, if you think you'll be putting larger things in it, you'll probably want more room.
My old work had a tall one (probably 8 inches inside clearance), and it took approximately one million years to make a piece of toast. I started toasting a bagel the day I left and four years later people are probably still waiting for it to brown.

If I have an arbitrary positive monotonically decreasing function $f(x), x \in [0,\infty]$, is there an 'efficient' method for finding $y$ in:
$r = \int\limits_0^y f(x) dx $
for a known $r \in [0, \int\limits_0^\infty f(x) dx]$. By efficient I guess I mean more efficient than doing numerical integration until one lands in within a given distance from $r$.
I particularly care about the cases where the integral of $f$ has no closed form.
Best answer so far (rewrite of below), doubt it gets much better than this:
Start with $s_0 = r$, $y_0 = 0$, then
$y_{i+1} = y_i + \frac{s_i}{f(y_i)} $
$s_{i+1} = s_i - \int\limits_{y_i}^{y_{i+1}}f(x)dx$

Nathyah "Thyah"Powell is a second grader at Cumberland Trace Elementary.
Every Wednesday her big sister, Joanna visits her for lunch.
It's part of the Big Brothers, Big Sisters school based mentoring program.
"It reminds you how fun being second grader is," says Joanna Gilligan, a new mentor for the program, "You get reminded of just how cute and creative and funny they are...and Thya is just the bright spot in my week."
Right now the agency is serving about 170 children in South Central Kentucky.
But, because of a lack of volunteers 70 children are on a waiting list to get a big brother or sister.
Nathyah's twin brother Ty is one of the kids waiting.
The agency says they are always in need of volunteers but especially big brothers.
For Joanna she says volunteering is easy.
"If you have an interest in kids it's a lot of fun to participate. It doesn't take much time out of your week, it's an hour and I work really close, so I can drop in and spend time with her and her friends."
She says volunteering can really makes a difference in these kid's lives.
The agency also has a community based program where mentors spend about 4 hours a week outside of school with their little brother or sister.
If you would like to volunteer you can call the agency at 270-781-1180.

Can anyone suggest me an ingenious proof of the transcendence of $\pi$. I have seen Lindemann's proof but it appears intricate.
There is a very nice book, "Irrational Numbers" by Ivan Niven. Available in paperback from the M.A.A. Evidently he gives a proof in the M.A.A.'s American Mathematical Monthly, volume 46 (1939) pages 469-471. His comment in the notes for chapter 9 of the book has "Proofs of the transcendence of $e$ and $\pi$ are not so difficult as the proof of the more general Theorem 9.1" And his 9.1 is indeed Hermite-Lindemann-Weierstrass. $$ $$ See also Proof that pi is transcendental that doesn't use the infinitude of primes which had a specific emphasis.
I have never seen a proof of the transcendence of $\pi$ which is anything but ingenious: that's rather the problem. I gather you want a proof which is as "transparent" as possible.
So let me mention a highly recommended book with that as its stated goal: Making Transcendence Transparent by Burger and Tubbs. For instance, this book received a rave review from (sometime MOer and full-time arithmetic geometer) Álvaro Lozano-Robledo on the MAA website:
I had a little trouble electronically searching for "transcendence of $\pi$" in this book. Rather, they view that result as a special case of the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem, which seems like a good way to go.
Let me disclose that I have not read the book myself, but it is where I would start if I wanted to gain a better understanding of these issues.
An unfortunate thing is that proving the transcendence of $\pi$ has the same complexity as the Lindemann--Weierstrass theorem. (Proving the transcendence of $e$ is much easier.) I am quite surprised to see that the book [A.I. Galochkin, Yu.N. Nesterenko, and A.B. Shidlovskiĭ, Введение в теорию чисел [Introduction to number theory], 2nd edition, Moscow State Univ., 1995. 160 pp. ISBN: 5-211-03075-3. MR1367734 (96i:11001)] is not translated into English (I remember that there was an attempt to negotiate the translation about 10 years ago). I put here an extract from Yu. Nesterenko's lectures (in Russian!) on the Lindemann--Weierstrass theorem which are "cleaned", so I believe this is the simplest version of proof.
There are more exotic ways to state the transcendence of $\pi$, of course, these proofs are more involved. One example in this direction is [V.N. Sorokin, On the measure of transcendency of the number $\pi^2$, Sb. Math. 187 (1996), no. 12, 1819--1852] where the author shows the transcendence of $\pi^2$ (rather than $\pi$ itself) by constructing linear forms involving the numbers $$ \sum_{n_1\ge n_2\ge\dots\ge n_r\ge1}\frac1{n_1^2n_2^2\cdots n_r^2} $$ which are (now) known to be simple rational multiple of $\pi^{2r}$, $r=1,2,\dots$.

Kinder Morgan's processing facility will split condensate into its various components, such as light and heavy naphtha, kerosene, diesel and gas oil, and can be expanded pending additional market demand, the company said. The new investment will increase its total capacity to 100,000 bpd.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners has entered into a long-term,
fee-based agreement with BP to underwrite an additional 50,000
bpd of throughput capacity at the petroleum condensate
processing facility Kinder Morgan is constructing near its
Galena Park terminal on the Houston Ship Channel, the companies
said on Thursday.
With the new agreement, Kinder Morgan will invest an additional
$170 million to add a second unit to its previously announced
$200 million condensate processing facility, thereby raising
the facilitys total capacity to 100,000 bpd.
The investment also includes the company building an additional
700,000 bbl of storage capacity for product being split at the
We are pleased to secure long-term contracts for all

Kinder Morgan through an increased footprint in Galena Park,"
said Paul Reed, CEO of BPs integrated supply and
trading business.
"We believe that by accessing this additional throughput
capacity, we will be better placed to provide US producers a
full suite of services including access to the best homes for
their crude and condensates. It will also enable BP to service
our customers better and more efficiently manage their feedstock and product needs."

Unanswered: Line chart is very slow in IE8
We are prototyping with GXT3.0DP5 + GWT2.4.0 and trying to take advantage of GXT new chart feature that doesn't require Flash or other plugin. The line chart we had was coming from GXT Demo code from GXT SDK with some minor modification, e.g. creating line chart data with a different Java file. We first sent all our chart data to the browser to display small versions of all charts which work like thumbnails and then when clicking on one of the thumbnails, it displayed a full-size chart under the thumbnails. This worked very well in Firefox and Chrome - since the data are already in the browser, it opened up immediately, but for IE8, it took 5 to 10 seconds to paint a full-size chart.
We are all new GXT users, so we are not sure whether this is our setting issue or simply a bug in GXT chart. Could someone help us? Thanks!
Development Environment: IntelliJ 10.5.2 + GXT3.0DP5 + GWT2.4.0
The test was run in non-debug mode.

More info
I appreciate whoever tried to reply my question, but please try not to use Arabic and point it to a pron site. I know a few languages, but Arabic is not one of them.
Forgot to mention that we also did live update every 15 seconds. Having about 4 charts 2 series each and 32 data points for each series, IE simply couldn't handle it and displayed "Stop Script" messsage everytime when charts were updated.
I also did a test with Live Chart out of demo and brought up scrollbar to see how IE handled scrolling when doing live update. It delayed significantly comparing to Firefox and Chrome.
Could someone in Sencha look at this issue? Thanks!
21 Dec 2011 2:45 PM #3
We've seen this pop up from time to time. Because this is still only a beta release, we haven't had time to fine-tune the performance of the library. As a result, you may find that you have to disable some features, such as shadows or animations, while Ext GWT is still in beta. This is especially true with browsers in the Internet Explorer family. Once Ext GWT leaves beta, you can turn these features on and re-evaluate.
21 Dec 2011 4:29 PM #4
An API concern
Thank you for your reply. I've tried IE9 and with some minor code adjustment I could get it to work like Firefox and Chrome.
One concern we have is that when Sencha can finalize GXT3.0 APIs. Will we expect to see many API changes in the final release?
23 Dec 2011 10:02 AM #5
At least for the gxt-chart project I can promise that the API will be finalized for Beta 2. The only reason I would need to change anything would be if it became necessary for performance improvements. However, that most likely would not affect anything public.

What types of jobs can you get after a degree in Physics? My sister is choosing her course and thinking of doing physics but isn't sure what she can do after it.
closed as too broad by Brandon Enright, tpg2114, jinawee, Chris White, Kyle Kanos Feb 20 '14 at 1:40
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.
During my stint as a scientist working in industry I interviewed many job applicants. My experience is that it is extraordinarily hard to get good people, and that when I did meet good people it was obvious within the first few minutes of the interview that they were something special. With those people I didn't really care what they'd done at college (assuming it wasn't something silly like "swimwear design").
Still, not everyone can be an Ed Witten (including me - Ed the Horse is more my level :-) and I guess your first priority would be to get your CV through the first cut. I didn't do the initial CV filtering so I can't talk from personal experience. However Physics is a hard subject and if you get a good degree this immediately tells me you're a cut above the run of the mill applicants, and your CV would immediately go on the "to be interviewed" pile. The skills you need to be good at Physics apply to virtually any technical job, and even if you're applying for something completely different, e.g. law or finance, you'll still stand out as a clever person.
Researcher and lecturer at university are top jobs for those with degree in physics.
However, you can also teach at high schools, many work as programmers or making financial simulations for banks...
Physics is a universal knowledge, and you can apply it to many different disciplines (much easier than vice-versa). Of course in these cases you do not use your physical knowledge in full. But you most probably get better paycheck there ;-).
it is very hard for you to get a physics-related-job without good qualifications :( i myself i am unemployed although i have a degree on physics
i could suggest
To some extent this will depend on the country - since your profile says you are based in Cardiff, I assume this means she is expecting to study and work in the UK?
Obviously there would be a huge range of possible career options. There are some careers for which a physics degree is likely to be a requirement or at least highly desirable (academic physicist, physics teacher, perhaps a medical physicist or working as a physicist in the nuclear or other industries). There are other careers which would be open to physics graduates as well as those from related subjects (finance for highly mathematical subjects, and academic publishing or patent law for science and engineering subjects, for example). There are many careers for which a degree in just about any subject is a prerequisite (many large businesses have graduate schemes).
Perhaps it would be a good idea for her to talk to a careers advisor at her school/college, or to attend some university open days and discuss it with them. I'm sure there is also lots of useful information on the web (the IOP's Careers page looks promising, for a start).
I agree with Jose that it is not easy to get a job with just a degree in physics. In this economy especially, just about everyone coming out of school is struggling to find work.
The path I chose, and it worked fairly well for me, was to go on to more school. In my case, I ended up in a nuclear engineering program and got my Master's degree from a good school. The job I currently have resulted from an internship position I held between the two years of grad school.
$E = mc^2$? "Job" = "Money"? In my country graduates in physics can work at the research institute for about USD 50/month salary equivalent. Head of the nuclear spectroscopy lab at the local institute of nuclear physics (a good friend of mine) is paid about USD 150/month. What I admire in these people is that they are doing physics just because they like it.
Assuming you mean a BS degree in Physics, she can get any job which only requires a BS degree. Since only the 4th year (of a typical 4 year study) is used to specialize (EE, CH, Phy, Math, etc.), these degrees are 75% the "same." Most hiring managers know this, that is why the specialty is not very important in the hiring process. What is most important is the fact that you obtained a degree. This shows that you are an individual capable of completing complex and difficult tasks/projects. Obviously, the higher the GPA, will result in more job offers. Also, to increase her "hire-ability," she can obtain additional degrees in one or more specialty (multiple disciplines).
If she continues and obtains a Masters or a PH degree, the potential for additional jobs is increased.
If she is interested in working in industry, she can work in manufacturing, or research. If she is interested in education, she can be a teacher. The opportunities are endless, and they are not related to the specialty chosen, but to the abilities of the person.
My advice for her would be to chose physics only if she wants to know what makes the Universe "tick" or is intrigued by the mysteries of the Universe and she would like to try to resolve at least one of them.

5 Famous Pieces of Presidential Trivia (That Are Total BS)
American presidents are like X-Men -- there's a ridiculous number of them, and most of their backstories are either too weird or too boring to retain your interest. That's why we cling to certain well-known tales that help us easily label and categorize our presidents. For instance, we all know that Teddy Roosevelt was a cowboy badass, George Washington was a great general, and Andrew Jackson was frequently forced to take time off to battle the Juggernaut.
There's only one problem with these little nuggets of awesome: Not nearly all of them are true. For instance, have you heard the one where ...
#5. Nixon Won the Radio Debate, but Kennedy Won on Television
The Myth:
The 1960 presidential debates between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy were the first to be broadcast on television. This ended up playing a pretty big role in deciding the election: While the wily statesman Nixon was the better orator on the radio, the young, handsome, photogenic Kennedy easily beat his sweaty, scruffy opponent on TV, which was one of the key moments on his road to the presidency. It's a useful story that simultaneously manages to inspire and confirm our fears about the triumph of image over substance.
Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
In a perfect, rational world, we'd choose Nixon every time.
The Truth:
There's really no evidence that things went like this. The TV debate legend comes from a single poll by a market research firm and is so full of holes that it's like someone's been machine-gunning a colander. The survey's radio part was based on just 282 radio listeners, only 172 of whom bothered to actually answer it. Those numbers are part of a very important statistical subset known as "way the hell not enough." Seriously, hand anyone with a touch of political knowledge a survey of 172 random people and tell them it represents the national opinion. See how it goes, we'll wait.
Digital Vision/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Why, it'd be as bad as picking the president by polling 172 corn farmers.
This ridiculously inadequate "survey" was the only one that claimed to distinguish between TV and radio owners. In general, the surveys mostly found that Kennedy had won, but that was less to do with his image and more to do with the fact that he, you know, performed much better in the debate than Nixon. You don't have to trust our word -- here's a video:
If you watched that clip, you'll notice that Kennedy looked more like a murder doll from some terrible episode of The Twilight Zone than a suave hunk. But he talks a very good game, and Tricky Dick is clearly a bit overwhelmed.
So if the survey is bullshit -- and we cannot emphasize enough that it probably is -- then how did the story become so widely accepted? Well, like we said earlier, it's a very useful story. Nixon's supporters got to blame their defeat on something other than their candidate being a corruption-mired misanthrope, academics got to drone on about the media's skewing influence on politics, and repressed '60s ladies got something to ogle in the family room.
#4. William Howard Taft Got Stuck in the White House Bathtub
Hulton Archive/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
The Myth:
In popular culture, there is precisely one notable feature that kept William Howard Taft from joining the likes of Millard Fillmore and James Polk in the pantheon of forgotten presidents. Never mind the civil service reforms or the introduction of the corporate income tax -- dude was husky!
U.S. Supreme Court
Post-presidency, clothes no longer fit him, so he and his friends just wore dressing gowns.
In fact, Taft was so fat that he once got stuck in the White House bathtub! They had to grease him up with butter and get four strong men to pull him out! He probably tried to eat the butter! Then the men! Hilarious!
The Truth:
It's true that Taft was a heavy guy. However, that doesn't mean he was an idiot. Seriously, what kind of bizarro body dysmorphia would someone need to have to wedge himself into a bathtub so tightly that it took four men to wrench him free? And how would that person even manage to get stuck when his bathtub looked like this?
National Park Service
If he got stuck with three other men, the story probably would have mentioned that.
He'd have to be shaped like a giant Twinkie. No, Taft was well aware of his impressive girth, which is why he had a custom extra-large bathtub installed in the White House as soon as he took office. When he was forced to bathe elsewhere -- during official trips and whatnot -- he developed a fiendishly cunning plan to prevent himself from getting stuck: He took showers.
So how did the story start? There are a few theories. First, like all great celebrity anecdotes, it may have begun with a broke ex-employee who had a book to sell. Irwin "Ike" Hoover was a former White House usher whose book -- published in 1934, after Taft was dead -- made all sorts of salacious allegations about the presidents he'd served under, a version of the bathtub story among them. But then he may have just been repeating what he'd already heard from supporters of Teddy Roosevelt. See, "Big Bill" Taft was locked in mortal political combat with Roosevelt for a time, and the latter's supporters did their level best to mock Taft's weight, leading to speculations that the story may have started there and then. We're relatively certain that Roosevelt himself wasn't behind the rumors, though: We suspect that his particular spin on political revenge would have included a lot less mincing gossip and far more projectile weapons and moose charges.
#3. JFK's Dad Was a Bootlegger
J. A. Hampton/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
The Myth:
Jay-Z wouldn't lie to us: Everyone knows Joe Kennedy, patriarch of the Kennedy clan, was a bootlegger during Prohibition, and the family fortune was more or less founded on his illegal gains.
Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
That's why the whole family has suffered under a tipsy curse.
The Truth:
This is probably the most pervasive story on this list, yet there is no evidence for it whatsoever. In fact, it would have been pretty strange if Joe Kennedy, who was already an immensely wealthy Hollywood mogul and investor when Prohibition began, had decided to risk it all for his undying love of gettin' sloppy. Teddy, maybe -- but not Joe.
In fact, historians have found little evidence supporting the rumors (save for Joe stockpiling a good amount of whiskey just before alcohol became illegal. But then, wouldn't you?). During the 1930s, Joe Kennedy was nominated for a number of federal positions, all of which required a thorough background check -- no evidence of involvement in bootlegging was ever found. Not even in the 1940s, when he was widely hated as a Nazi sympathizer (why isn't that the story people remember?), did anybody even suggest that he was involved in bootlegging. In the 1950s, President Eisenhower had the FBI investigate all aspects of Kennedy's life, but not even his most bitter enemies accused him of smuggling alcohol. You'd assume someone would at least have mentioned it.
Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
The FBI kept a file about his ridiculous pants, but no, nothing on bootlegging.
The story seems to stem from Kennedy's actions when it became clear that Prohibition was ending. He immediately obtained the import rights for several high-end gin brands and started bringing them into the country before the law was technically repealed. However, this was perfectly legal, as he did not actually sell any of the gin until Prohibition ended. The liquor was kept in sealed warehouses and monitored by customs. In the 1950s, the Chicago Tribune reported that Kennedy had imported booze before Prohibition ended, completely failing to mention the "while very much abiding by the law" aspect of the situation.
The story took off when JFK ran for president and really got out of hand after his assassination. Once the conspiracy theorists got their tin foil ball rolling, wild speculation about the Kennedy family's supposed connections to organized crime became big business. One writer even dug up Al Capone's 93-year-old former piano tuner, who confidently declared that Joe Kennedy had been invited to a spaghetti dinner at Capone's house to share some hilarious bootleggin' tales (no word on why Capone would have shared this information with a goddamn piano tuner). At that point, elderly mobsters like Frank Costello and Joe Bonanno smelled easy money and started releasing books about their supposed connection to Kennedy, and they were all swallowed as fact. Because if you can't trust the unsupported word of notorious criminals when money is on the line, then who can you trust?

Earlier this week we asked our Facebook fans to answer the following question; "The Super Bowl is this Sunday! What are you most excited for? Do you have any Super Bowl trditions? Or do you try and avoid football all together on this day?" And told them their responses may be edited for content and clarity and used in an upcoming article in the Globe. Here are some of the responses we've received.
Dustin Blankman: "I am glad someone will be delivering Doubble D BBQ from Wichita, best BBQ in the state!"
Lori Bailes: "Super Bowl doesn't matter to me unless my team is in it!! But, I love the commercials and half time entertainment! :)"
Scott McLoughlin: "Beer and commercials.... oh and maybe a little football."

text: So I see everyone is having a good time with the lessons that went up today. I have one last submission to share with you and it is going to be on "how to draw fish for kids", step by step. I wanted to quickly teach those that are still falling in with the novice crowd an easy way that you can get a couple fish drawn in a matter of minutes. Fish are great aquatic animals that are super cool to draw, and easy to use in almost any type of drawing. I decided to go with tropical fish because they are colorful and easier than other fresh water fish. Either way I think you will enjoy drawing fish for kids. I will be back tomorrow with more drawing fun, and hopefully you like what you're going to see. Peace out people and have fun!

Controller's launch and init functions unexpectedly firing
I have a Sencha Touch 2 app with a single controller. That controller's init and launch functions fire as expected during the application's launch process. However, there are some situations in which they appear to fire again after that. One of the app's main views extends dataview.List, and presents the list using a template that causes it to render as a tiled list of thumbnail images. That view includes a listener that listens for tap events on those thumbnail elements and fires a local onElementTap method, which in turn fires an event that's caught by the controller and used to populate a detail view and make it the active item in the viewport. For most of the elements in the list, this works fine, but for the first one, tapping the element seems to also fire the controller's init and launch methods (usually, but not always). Stranger yet, tapping the second element in the list works correctly if I tap in the middle of the thumbnail, but has the same odd controller effect if I tap near the left edge of the thumbnail.
There is no place in my code where I attempt to forcibly fire the controller's launch or init functions, or to create a new instance of the controller class. Anybody got any ideas what bizarre thing I might have accidentally done that would cause this behavior?

Well, I think I have this fixed, although I'm still somewhat confused. My onElementTap method was changing which view was active in the viewport, from a list view to a detail view for the item whose element was tapped. The template for that detail view includes a larger image, which was wrapped in an anchor tag whose href inadvertently referenced an attribute name that doesn't exist in the definition of the underlying object. Clicking that image had the effect of reloading the page, effectively relaunching the whole app and causing the behavior I saw.
So, I could understand if I manually tapped on the image on the detail page and the app restarted. But what seemed to be happening is that sometimes (but not always) a tap on the list page would fire *two* events; the console.log statement in my onElementTap method would be executed twice. The first one would switch views like it was supposed to, but then the second one would get processed, and if the tap was in the section of the screen where the detail page image was located, it'd behave like I manually tapped that image, and the app would restart. That's why certain thumbnails never had the problem -- even if a tap on one of those images resulted in two events, the second one was on a part of the detail page where it didn't do anything.
I removed the anchor tag from the detail page altogether, and now the app behaves just fine. I figured that'd fix things because the second tap event wouldn't cause any issues when it happened, but oddly enough, the second tap event no longer happens at all; my onElementTap logging now appears in the console only once, like it should.

The Year of Faith is a "summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world (Porta Fidei 6). In other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion - to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him.
January 2013:
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, S.C.
St. Elizabeth was the first American Catholic to be beatified. She married the wealthy William Magee Seton and together than had five children. Ten years later, William's business went bankrupt and he soon after died of tuberculosis. St. Elizabeth, a poor widow, was left alone to support and raise her children. She converted to Catholicism and began the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph, the first female American religious order.
February 2013:
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, R.S.C.J.
St. Rose Philippine Duchesne was known as "The Woman who Prays" to the Pottawatomie Indians. She was a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart and in 1818 went west to bring Catholicism to Native Americans and help those facing hardships and hunger. She opened a free school for girls and the first Catholic school for Native Americans.
March 2013:
St. Katharine Drexel, S.B.S.
St. Katharine was born into a wealthy family from Pennsylvania and was the niece of the founder of Drexel University in Philadelphia. In 1887, St. Katharine asked Pope Leo XIII to send missionaries to serve American Indians. He suggested that she become a missionary. As a young woman, St. Katharine gave up everything to be a missionary to Indians and African Americans. She joined the religious life and established the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. She founded schools for African Americans, missionary centers, and rural schools.

Faith, family, friends and fellowship. That is what I think about during this time of the year. Every year when November rolls around I begin to think about my situation in life and why I am where I am and the people and circumstances that have helped get me here.
I think that everyone needs a "faith" of some kind. This can be
a "faith" in a higher being which religion can give you. It can be a "faith" in a place that you are in in your life or the people that occupy that place with you.
As long as this "faith" helps you to face each day with hope. During this time of year my "faith" in Jesus Christ gives me hope for every day. I like to reflect on my "faith" and remember to give thanks for all of my blessings.
My "family" is important to me all of the days of the year but I
especially like to remember them during this time of the year. I love to plan for the gift that will make them smile and know that I love them. We all know that "family" can have lots of definitions. It just important that we focus on our "family" and thank them for all that they do for us.
As I walk through my day to day life my "friends" are right there with me. I am very blessed with wonderful "friends" who support me in all that I do. I appreciate their constructive comments and their willingness to experience life as I do. At the time of the year I like to tell them how important they are to me and how much they add to my life.
"Fellowship" is the joining together of people for a like cause and
celebrating. At this time of year celebrating abounds. We gather
with family and friends to rejoice over the past year and get ready to face the new year with hope. Humans need each other. We need to feel the contact of other humans to feel whole. Some people like lots of interaction, others just need a little but either way we need each other. This is the time of the year where we celebrate and embrace that need.
This is the time of the year to reflect, celebrate, and hope with
our "family" and "friends." It is a time of year where "faith"
and "fellowship" get us ready to face the new year.
Have a "faith" filled Holiday Season in "fellowship" with your "friends" and "family"

O.C.'s philanthropically minded oenophiles poured into Center Club for Boys Town California's Uncork for Hope fete, an affair that blended a love of the grape with a passion for helping others. Some 200 sippers learned the ins and outs of wine from sommelier Margaux Pierog Kugelman before filling their glasses with samples from 18 participating wineries. They also vied for auction packages from Island Hotel, Ashtin Salon and The Bruery (for those beer fans in attendance). And a cheer was raised for the nonprofit's efforts to help underserved children and families—as well as the $44,160 netted for the night. Ah, sweet nectar. –Photos by David Ahntholz

The problem: Let $V = V(y^2-x^2(x+1))$, and let $\overline{x}, \overline{y}$ denote the $I(V)$-residues of $x$ and $y$ in the coordinate ring $\Gamma(V)$. Set $z=\overline{y}/\overline{x}$. Find the pole sets for $z$ and $z^2$.
My progress: Since $I(V) = (y^2-x^2(x+1))$ (the polynomial $y^2-x^2(x+1)$ is irreducible), we have $\overline{y}^2 = \overline{x}^2(\overline{x} + \overline{1})$ in $\Gamma(V)$, so $$z=\overline{y}/\overline{x} = (\overline{x}/\overline{y})(\overline{x}+\overline{1})$$ and $$z^2 = \overline{y}^2/\overline{x}^2 = \overline{x} + \overline{1}.$$ Hence $z^2$ has no poles since one representation is a polynomial, and $z$ has no poles at $(x,y)$ if either $x\neq 0$ or $y\neq 0$. So I have concluded that the only possible pole for $z$ is $(0,0)$. However, I am unsure of how to check this point.
I would appreciate any hints.

WHEELING - Devin Fuller, one of two men accused of murdering an elderly woman in her Bellaire home in June, will appear before a Belmont County judge this morning after he waived his right to an extradition hearing in Ohio County Tuesday.
Fuller appeared with chief public defender Shayne Welling before Ohio County Circuit Judge James Mazzone on Wednesday - one week after the 19-year-old Bellaire resident was arrested in Wheeling and booked into the Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville.
"I'm waiving my right to extradition," Fuller told Mazzone.

Devin Fuller sits next to chief public defender Shayne Welling in Ohio County Circuit Court on Wednesday. Fuller waived an extradition hearing and was transported back to Belmont County to face an aggravated murder charge.
Belmont County authorities took custody of Fuller around 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, about four hours after he appeared before Mazzone. He was subsequently transported back to Ohio and booked into the Belmont County Jail in St. Clairsville.
Fuller will appear from the jail during a video arraignment at 7:30 a.m. today before Eastern Division Court Judge John Vavra, a court official said. He is expected to enter an innocent plea to a charge of aggravated murder, announce his intention regarding legal representation and receive a future court date.
Fuller's co-defendant, Brandon Phelps, will appear with public defender Eric Costine during a preliminary hearing before Vavra at 8:30 a.m. today, the court official said. Phelps, 20, of Bellaire is also charged with aggravated murder.
If convicted, both men could receive the death penalty.
Phelps was already being held in the Belmont County Jail on an unrelated charge when law enforcement on Oct. 3 served him with a warrant charging aggravated murder. Wheeling police arrested Fuller without incident the same day at a National Road restaurant where he reportedly was employed.
The charges came following a joint investigation by the Bellaire police and Belmont County sheriff's departments.
On June 30, 92-year-old Lydia Ashworth was found dead inside her 124 Fourth Ave. home by a family member who became concerned after not being able to get in touch with her.
Law enforcement agencies have released few details about the murder, but have said Ashworth's killer entered through the rear of the home and that robbery was the apparent motive.

Anki, a computer based space repetition system is what I'm currently using to memorize words. I've also seen one or two paper based systems and think they might be a good complement to a computer based system.
Anyhow, I've got literally thousands of words that I need to memorize, and it seems there should be by now a system for getting it done. I'm not especially attached to the physical dimensions of a flashcard.
So, what are some paper based ways to crank through large numbers of vocabulary flash cards?

Beyond the technical stuff (ensuring they have the skills to do the job), I tend to be most concerned with three things:
If we're talking web testing, then I would ask them to talk about their experience with testing tools. Specifically these or equivalents:
Great automated testers are great developers first, so make sure they understand code first and foremost. In my experience there are testers who are great developers too (the ones you want) and those who think programming is too hard, so they decide to be testers (those you don't want for automated testing testers).

All My Life: A Memoir (Hardcover)
"See that moon up there?
You can reach that high.
Never be afraid because you can be anything you want to be."
Susan Lucci was only five years old when her father shared these encouraging words with her. They inspired the highly imaginative child who loved make-believe to craft one of the most enduring characters in television history, an achievement that would earn her a record twenty-one Emmy nominationsthe most for an actor in the award's historyand the crown as "Leading Lady of Daytime."
When Lucci and All My Children were introduced to the world in 1971, American television changed forever. Susan's character, the beautiful, spirited, and mercurial Erica Kane, was an originalthe first vixen viewers loved to hate. But while millions have enjoyed getting to know Erica's many sidesand have been awed at how this character has continually remade herselfthe woman who plays her has remained a mystery.
In her long-awaited memoir, this very private actress, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, friend, and entrepreneur pulls back the curtain to reveal her story.
Susan, like Erica Kane, has undergone a metamorphosis many times. All My Life shares the stories of those transformations: starring in roles on television and stage, where she took Broadway not just by storm but "by tsunami" as one critic raved about her performance in Annie Get Your Gun; mounting successful cabaret acts (solo and with Regis Philbin); bringing art and joy back to New York in the wake of 9/11; conquering the tango with Tony Dovolani on ABC's hit show Dancing with the Stars; and building a successful career as an entrepreneur with a signature line of products.
Susan goes beyond her success to talk about the darker moments, too, including the childhood guilt she harbored over the death of her dear grandmother, the car accident that nearly took away her career and her eyesight, her newborn son's life-threatening illness, coping with her husband's cancer, and the pain of miscarriageone of the many parallels between her Erica Kane.
As charming, down-to-earth, and compelling as the woman whose story it tells, All My Life shines a spotlight on one of our most popular stars and reminds us of the power of dreams and how we can find the courage and tenacity to make them come true.

COPPERAS COVE (January 8, 2012)--The new 125-acre Five Hills Shopping Center's first phase of construction will be completed this month, bringing dozens of businesses and hundreds of job.
The shopping plaza, that's big enough to fit a neighborhood subdivision, plans to hold about 70 businesses when it's completed in the next few years.
The Five Hills Shopping Center's first business to open is Whataburger, bringing in more than fifty jobs this month.
Then, it's H-E-B Plus next month with more than 300 jobs.
Farther down the road are Chick-Fil-A, Panda Express, Chili's and much more.
One nearby resident said she's excited about the development for many reasons.
"My husband's job slowed down enough that we're feeling the pinch, and it's time for me to see if I can help out," Marsha Norris said.
Norris is from Lampasas and drives about 15 miles to Copperas Cove to shop at HEB and other stores her hometown doesn't have.
"I'm keeping my options open and seeing what businesses will be in that community," Norris said.
Betty Price with the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce says it all has to do with the city's neighbor.
"One of the things that we capitalize on is Fort Hood," Price said.
"When we have people that come in and need our services, we don't suffer like other cities that you see across our nation."
The city of Copperas Cove has a population of 32,000 and growing.

Here is the set. From left to right: Angelic, Magic, Fantastic, and Stellar.
Yum. Angelic looks really gritty here, but that's mostly because I had goosebumps! It also swatches a bit chunky-feeling but it really doesn't look that way on the skin at all, it goes on like a visible but subtle gold highlighter.
Fantastic is closest to Adored in the permanent Tarte line, but Fantastic is completely matte and paler than Adored. It is also much less pink and more lilac than Amused, also from the permanent line. It is most similar to NARS Gaiety in my stash, but it lacks the iridescence that Gaiety has on my skin and is slightly brighter and purpler in comparison - next to Fantastic, Gaiety looks a softer pink.
Magic has been thought by some to be the same as Blissful from the permanent line, but they are not the same. Next to each other, Blissful has more orange and red tones, and Magic looks more pink. They definitely look like different colors on my skin - even a "Muggle" would recognize they are not the same!
On my skin, Stellar is similar to Buff from the permanent line. Buff is slightly more orange and Stellar slightly more brown, but they are near-dupes. Exposed leans way more pink-mauve. I think on fair to medium skin tones, Stellar could be used as a bronzer, if you don't mind the sparkles or would tap them off with your brush. It is less pigmented than the other three colors in the set and harder to pick up with a brush.
So, is this set a must-have? Honestly, I'm not sure. If you're a mad collector of everything that says "Tarte Amazonian Clay blush" on it like me, or you adore everything in miniature form, or these colors would be mostly unique to your collection, then yes, you NEED it! I do intend to keep mine (though I may put Stellar up on my blog sale), as I like the colors and formula - I have already worn and will continue to wear Angelic, Fantastic, and Magic. However, if my entire set were to somehow be destroyed, I don't think I would repurchase it just because I already have other highlighters and blushes that look similar to, and perform equally well as, those three. It's definitely nice, but not bowling me over, I think because the inclusion of Stellar in the set is dragging it down a little in my eyes.
I see that the set is out of stock right now on Sephora.com, but I know the stores near me still have it in stock. Are you eyeing this set? Will you be picking it up, now or during the Friends & Family sale (rumored to be starting sometime in the next four weeks)?

Hey everyone,
Ive been playing video games for more than 25 years. I grew up with an Atari ST and lots of point-and-click adventures from Sierra and Lucasfilm Games. Later I got a Game Boy (the first one, clunky and grey) and played a lot of jumpnrun stuff too. Although I was exposed to some of the first fps games, like Doom and Castle Wolfenstein, I never really got into that genre.
Today I still like to play point-and-click adventures most, which is also the reason I joined a small games company and am now developing adventure games myself. I also like indie games like Trine, Eufloria, Dear Esther, and many more. Ive bought almost every indie bundle there was from sites like Humble Bundle or Indie Royale, so my backlog on Steam is pretty big.
While I played a lot of JRPGs and RPGs in the past, my attention span kinda shrunk over the years (and also the time I am able and willing to put into playing games), so today I prefer games that dont take too long to finish. Id rather play ten indie games of 5 hours each than an epic RPG that keeps me going for weeks or even months.
Apart from games I spent a lot of my time dabbling in stop motion animation and sculpting. I also work as a voice actor for games, animation and other stuff.
Well, thats it so far from me. If you wanna know more, just ask.

The Islamic Saudi Academy today called the latest report by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) erroneous and based on "mistranslated and misinterpreted texts, and references to textbooks that are no longer in use at the Academy."
In a statement issued today, the Academy said it "welcomes dialogue and constructive criticism, and has always had open lines of communication with governmental bodies and with the community. It has made its textbooks and curriculum available for review by third parties, including the Fairfax County Board of Education. It has held open-house events for congressional offices and the media."
"The Academy has repeatedly extended invitations to the USCIRF to visit its campus, review materials and meet with teachers and administrators, in order to establish a constructive dialogue. But the USCIRF has refused to accept these invitations, which speaks volumes about the seriousness of the commission's intentions," it noted.

Got your PM and your e-mail. Thanks for the assistance. Worked on it tonight. Used 2.5 wt oil though as I heard that was an option as well. I hope it's ok as that's all we had. That or 7 wt. Lock out seems to be working again. Haven't been able to test ride though. We greased the o-rings of the damper with a very light Answer products grease. I know we didn't do things exactly by the book but it got me up and running for now.Originally Posted by sanjuro

The benefits don't mention putting away anything. I have always used this as a draw only feat, as I believe it's been that way pretty much since 3.0. Now, as you mentioned, that doesn't preclude you from using a free/swift action to drop your weapon, and quick draw a different one. But by default, if you want to put your weapon away, you must take a move action to do so.
in the APG page 179 under Quick draw Shield it does give some info on the mechanics,and does state:If you have the quick draw feat,you may don or put away a quick draw shield as a free action.It also says If you have a base attack bonus of +1 or higher,you may don or put away a quick draw shield as a swift action combined with a regular move.I'd rule a weapon is easier to sheath then to take off a quick draw shield but that's for you and your GM to decide
simple solution, with Quick Draw, make sheathing a Swift Action, tada, solved.
