Palladino: Incredible night for city basketball
WATERBURY -- We have officially entered "Are you kidding me?" territory. Two weeks after the Crosby and Wilby boys basketball teams played a game for the ages, they did it again. New age, another classic.
This time, it was the Bulldogs with the last-second heroics. This time, it was a Tyshon Rogers drive to the hoop with 4.5 seconds left in overtime that lifted Crosby to an 88-87 victory over the Wildcats.
It was a different night, a different gym, but the same old incredible story.
As the game clock ticked away the final minutes and seconds of regulation, every spectator in the Crosby Palace rose to their feet and stayed there right through overtime. It was a raucous gym down the stretch, with fans coming out of their seats to ring the floor.
Even the Bulldog mascot found his way onto the floor a few times.
After Rogers scored on his twisting drive to give the Bulldogs a one-point lead and Wilby failed to get off a shot at the other end, hundreds of Crosby fans dashed onto the floor in joyous celebration.
If you take these two remarkable city games and join them end to end, you have twin classics the likes of which this city has never seen.
Crosby and Wilby have now played 64 minutes of regulation basketball. Add in the three overtimes and the teams have been on the floor 76 total minutes. The combined score: Crosby 170, Wilby 170.
Wilby's Walter Wright has scored 58 points in the two games, with 18 assists. Crosby's Rogers has 51 points and 23 rebounds. Each has made a game-winning basket. May I add that Crosby's Devin Stallings has 33 rebounds and seven blocks.
And lest I forget, we have had mobs of adoring fans rush the court a total of three times in both games.
Dare I remind city basketball fans of this enticing possibility: They will play again if both teams advance to the NVL tournament title game.
Nick Augelli put it best when he said, "They should have charged the fans an extra $5 on the way out the door."
It would have still been a bargain.
The Palace, just as The Reg was 16 days before, was electric and deafening, from the energy created by the Crosby drum line to the pulsating sounds coming out of two monster speakers brought in for the occasion.
There were heartwarming moments too, such as when Anthony Tirado, grandson of the late Wilby athletic director George Tirado, who died just six days ago, joined the Wildcats in the layup line. He even tossed up a ceremonial jump ball.
So fired up were the players that Crosby won the tip and raced down the floor to score. Those two points might have come in handy.
The building rocked from the moment they threw open the doors. And let me ask you this: When was the last time you had to wait for a high school game's opening tip for a TV timeout?
That's right: never.
There was a feel-good moment on the floor, too. Stallings, who committed the fatal turnover in game one that allowed Wilby's Wright to hit the stunning game-winning 3-pointer in the second OT, can now say that game one is old news. Thursday night, Stallings scored 10, grabbed 11 boards, had three blocks, including one at the end of regulation, and hit a huge 15-foot jumper with 90 seconds left to give Crosby the lead at 86-85.
I asked Stallings how he feels now, as compared to the previous game: "It's really hard to explain. It's like, the first time it was devastating. It was like someone ripped the heart right out of you."
And how about now? He did not want to say.
"You know what? (The season is) not over yet," he said.
He's right.
Perhaps you thought that Crosby-Wilby II could not possibly top Crosby-Wilby I. Well, guess what: There is a very real chance that Crosby-Wilby III could be a few weeks away.

Tobacco Snuff was in use by the European nobility from the 16th Century onwards, becoming both medicine and status symbol, even with the health hazards associated. At some point it fell out of favor, whether for smoking or something else, but was this just a fad that had seen it's time or was there something else associated with it's loss of status among the nobility? If there is a good source on this let me know, I'd be curious in reading something substantive on the subject, or on the changing social customs.
If you're interested enough to read a whole book, this looks like the one (the new price is ridiculous but there seem to be several used editions for a reasonable amount).
Alternatively, here's an online article that describes the development of cigarettes in America, which I think sheds a fair amount of light on your question.
Essentially, tobacco suitable for smoking used to be produced in the Middle East, but was too expensive to become a common habit in Europe or America. But in 1839 an American slave discovered a new curing process, which made it easy to grow cheap, smokable tobacco on previously marginal land. It became popular with soldiers during the American civil war. A machine for rolling cigarettes was invented in 1884, and cigarettes became very affordable and convenient.
That's all from the article; the rest is personal speculation:
I know in America chewing tobacco had always been more popular than snuff, and it was falling out of favour in late 19th century because people started to notice that the constant spitting was, well, gross. Cigarettes were a neater alternative, once people could afford them.
Snuff isn't so messy, but I think it's noisy and can make you sneeze, so maybe Europeans switched to cigarettes for much the same reasons as Americans.

Greetings traveller,
In today's Tales From The Isle I'd planned to bring you the story of the devil's final visit to Bowmore in some detail, but an action-packed day at Fèis Ìle means that this issue has rather taken on a life of its own! The story is still worth telling, however, if only in brief. The famous round church in Bowmore, constructed ten years before the distillery was established, is said to be round so that the devil had no corners to hide in. According to legend, the architectural trap worked so well that when he did finally pop by in 1837 he was instantly spotted and pursued down the road by an angry Christian mob. Entering the distillery buildings, he made his escape by hiding within a cask of whisky that was being loaded onto the Maid of Islay for transport to the mainland. It's said that he never dared to return.

Currency Conversion in Oracle BI applications
By Saurabh Verma-Oracle on Nov 26, 2012
A typical data warehouse contains Star and/or Snowflake schema, made up of Dimensions and Facts. The facts store various numerical information including amounts. Example; Order Amount, Invoice Amount etc.
With the true global nature of business now-a-days, the end-users want to view the reports in their own currency or in global/common currency as defined by their business.
This presents a unique opportunity in BI to provide the amounts in converted rates either by pre-storing or by doing on-the-fly conversions while displaying the reports to the users.
Source Systems
OBIA caters to various source systems like EBS, PSFT, Sebl, JDE, Fusion etc. Each source has its own unique and intricate ways of defining and storing currency data, doing currency conversions and presenting to the OLTP users.
For example; EBS stores conversion rates between currencies which can be classified by conversion rates, like Corporate rate, Spot rate, Period rate etc. Siebel stores exchange rates by conversion rates like Daily. EBS/Fusion stores the conversion rates for each day, where as PSFT/Siebel store for a range of days. PSFT has Rate Multiplication Factor and Rate Division Factor and we need to calculate the Rate based on them, where as other Source systems store the Currency Exchange Rate directly.
OBIA Design
The data consolidation from various disparate source systems, poses the challenge to conform various currencies, rate types, exchange rates etc., and designing the best way to present the amounts to the users without affecting the performance.
When consolidating the data for reporting in OBIA, we have designed the mechanisms in the Common Dimension, to allow users to report based on their required currencies.
OBIA Facts store amounts in various currencies:
Document Currency: This is the currency of the actual transaction. For a multinational company, this can be in various currencies.
Local Currency: This is the base currency in which the accounting entries are recorded by the business. This is generally defined in the Ledger of the company.
Global Currencies: OBIA provides five Global Currencies. Three are used across all modules. The last two are for CRM only. A Global currency is very useful when creating reports where the data is viewed enterprise-wide. Example; a US based multinational would want to see the reports in USD. The company will choose USD as one of the global currencies. OBIA allows users to define up-to five global currencies during the initial implementation.
The term Currency Preference is used to designate the set of values: Document Currency, Local Currency, Global Currency 1, Global Currency 2, Global Currency 3; which are shared among all modules. There are four more currency preferences, specific to certain modules: Global Currency 4 (aka CRM Currency) and Global Currency 5 which are used in CRM; and Project Currency and Contract Currency, used in Project Analytics.
When choosing Local Currency for Currency preference, the data will show in the currency of the Ledger (or Business Unit) in the prompt. So it is important to select one Ledger or Business Unit when viewing data in Local Currency. More on this can be found in the section: Toggling Currency Preferences in the Dashboard.
Design Logic
When extracting the fact data, the OOTB mappings extract and load the document amount, and the local amount in target tables. It also loads the exchange rates required to convert the document amount into the corresponding global amounts.
If the source system only provides the document amount in the transaction, the extract mapping does a lookup to get the Local currency code, and the Local exchange rate. The Load mapping then uses the local currency code and rate to derive the local amount. The load mapping also fetches the Global Currencies and looks up the corresponding exchange rates.
The lookup of exchange rates is done via the Exchange Rate Dimension provided as a Common/Conforming Dimension in OBIA.
The Exchange Rate Dimension stores the exchange rates between various currencies for a date range and Rate Type. Two physical tables W_EXCH_RATE_G and W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G are used to provide the lookups and conversions between currencies. The data is loaded from the source system's Ledger tables. W_EXCH_RATE_G stores the exchange rates between currencies with a date range. On the other hand, W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G stores the currency conversions between the document currency and the pre-defined five Global Currencies for each day. Based on the requirements, the fact mappings can decide and use one or both tables to do the conversion.
Currency design in OBIA also taps into the MLS and Domain architecture, thus allowing the users to map the currencies to a universal Domain during the implementation time. This is especially important for companies deploying and using OBIA with multiple source adapters.
Some Gotchas to Look for
It is necessary to think through the currencies during the initial implementation.
1) Identify various types of currencies that are used by your business. Understand what will be your Local (or Base) and Documentation currency. Identify various global currencies that your users will want to look at the reports. This will be based on the global nature of your business. Changes to these currencies later in the project, while permitted, but may cause Full data loads and hence lost time.
2) If the user has a multi source system make sure that the Global Currencies and Global Rate Types chosen in Configuration Manager do have the corresponding source specific counterparts. In other words, make sure for every DW specific value chosen for Currency Code or Rate Type, there is a source Domain mapping already done.
Technical Section
This section will briefly mention the technical scenarios employed in the OBIA adaptors to extract data from each source system.
In OBIA, we have two main tables which store the Currency Rate information as explained in previous sections. W_EXCH_RATE_G and W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G are the two tables.
W_EXCH_RATE_G stores all the Currency Conversions present in the source system. It captures data for a Date Range. W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G has Global Currency Conversions stored at a Daily level. However the challenge here is to store all the 5 Global Currency Exchange Rates in a single record for each From Currency. Let's voyage further into the Source System Extraction logic for each of these tables and understand the flow briefly.
EBS: In EBS, we have Currency Data stored in GL_DAILY_RATES table. As the name indicates GL_DAILY_RATES EBS table has data at a daily level. However in our warehouse we store the data with a Date Range and insert a new range record only when the Exchange Rate changes for a particular From Currency, To Currency and Rate Type. Below are the main logical steps that we employ in this process.
- (Incremental Flow only) – Cleanup the data in W_EXCH_RATE_G.
- Delete the records which have Start Date > minimum conversion date
- Update the End Date of the existing records.
- Compress the daily data from GL_DAILY_RATES table into Range Records. Incremental map uses $$XRATE_UPD_NUM_DAY as an extra parameter.
- Generate Previous Rate, Previous Date and Next Date for each of the Daily record from the OLTP.
- Filter out the records which have Conversion Rate same as Previous Rates or if the Conversion Date lies within a single day range.
- Mark the records as 'Keep' and 'Filter' and also get the final End Date for the single Range record (Unique Combination of From Date, To Date, Rate and Conversion Date).
- Filter the records marked as 'Filter' in the INFA map.
- The above steps will load W_EXCH_RATE_GS. Step 0 updates/deletes W_EXCH_RATE_G directly.
- SIL map will then insert/update the GS data into W_EXCH_RATE_G.
These steps convert the daily records in GL_DAILY_RATES to Range records in W_EXCH_RATE_G.
We do not need such special logic for loading W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G. This is a table where we store data at a Daily Granular Level. However we need to pivot the data because the data present in multiple rows in source tables needs to be stored in different columns of the same row in DW. We use GROUP BY and CASE logic to achieve this.
Fusion: Fusion has extraction logic very similar to EBS. The only difference is that the Cleanup logic that was mentioned in step 0 above does not use $$XRATE_UPD_NUM_DAY parameter. In Fusion we bring all the Exchange Rates in Incremental as well and do the cleanup. The SIL then takes care of Insert/Updates accordingly.
PeopleSoft:PeopleSoft does not have From Date and To Date explicitly in the Source tables. Let's look at an example. Please note that this is achieved from PS1 onwards only.
1 Jan 2010 – USD to INR – 45
31 Jan 2010 – USD to INR – 46
PSFT stores records in above fashion. This means that Exchange Rate of 45 for USD to INR is applicable for 1 Jan 2010 to 30 Jan 2010. We need to store data in this fashion in DW.
Also PSFT has Exchange Rate stored as RATE_MULT and RATE_DIV. We need to do a RATE_MULT/RATE_DIV to get the correct Exchange Rate.
We generate From Date and To Date while extracting data from source and this has certain assumptions:
If a record gets updated/inserted in the source, it will be extracted in incremental. Also if this updated/inserted record is between other dates, then we also extract the preceding and succeeding records (based on dates) of this record. This is required because we need to generate a range record and we have 3 records whose ranges have changed. Taking the same example as above, if there is a new record which gets inserted on 15 Jan 2010; the new ranges are 1 Jan to 14 Jan, 15 Jan to 30 Jan and 31 Jan to Next available date. Even though 1 Jan record and 31 Jan have not changed, we will still extract them because the range is affected.
Similar logic is used for Global Exchange Rate Extraction. We create the Range records and get it into a Temporary table. Then we join to Day Dimension, create individual records and pivot the data to get the 5 Global Exchange Rates for each From Currency, Date and Rate Type.
Siebel: Siebel Facts are dependent on Global Exchange Rates heavily and almost none of them really use individual Exchange Rates. In other words, W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G is the main table used in Siebel from PS1 release onwards.
As of January 2002, the Euro Triangulation method for converting between currencies belonging to EMU members is not needed for present and future currency exchanges. However, the method is still available in Siebel applications, as are the old currencies, so that historical data can be maintained accurately. The following description applies only to historical data needing conversion prior to the 2002 switch to the Euro for the EMU member countries. If a country is a member of the European Monetary Union (EMU), you should convert its currency to other currencies through the Euro. This is called triangulation, and it is used whenever either currency being converted has EMU Triangulation checked.
Due to this, there are multiple extraction flows in SEBL ie. EUR to EMU, EUR to NonEMU, EUR to DMC and so on. We load W_EXCH_RATE_G through multiple flows with these data. This has been kept same as previous versions of OBIA.
W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G being a new table does not have such needs. However SEBL does not have From Date and To Date columns in the Source tables similar to PSFT. We use similar extraction logic as explained in PSFT section for SEBL as well.
What if all 5 Global Currencies configured are same?
As mentioned in previous sections, from PS1 onwards we store Global Exchange Rates in W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G table. The extraction logic for this table involves Pivoting data from multiple rows into a single row with 5 Global Exchange Rates in 5 columns. As mentioned in previous sections, we use CASE and GROUP BY functions to achieve this. This approach poses a unique problem when all the 5 Global Currencies Chosen are same. For example – If the user configures all 5 Global Currencies as 'USD' then the extract logic will not be able to generate a record for From Currency=USD. This is because, not all Source Systems will have a USD->USD conversion record.
We have _Generated mappings to take care of this case. We generate a record with Conversion Rate=1 for such cases.
Reusable Lookups
Before PS1, we had a Mapplet for Currency Conversions. In PS1, we only have reusable Lookups- LKP_W_EXCH_RATE_G and LKP_W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G. These lookups have another layer of logic so that all the lookup conditions are met when they are used in various Fact Mappings. Any user who would want to do a LKP on W_EXCH_RATE_G or W_GLOBAL_EXCH_RATE_G should and must use these Lookups. A direct join or Lookup on the tables might lead to wrong data being returned.
Changing Currency preferences in the Dashboard:
In the 796x series, all amount metrics in OBIA were showing the Global1 amount. The customer needed to change the metric definitions to show them in another Currency preference. Project Analytics started supporting currency preferences since 7.9.6 release though, and it published a Tech note for other module customers to add toggling between currency preferences to the solution.
List of Currency Preferences
Starting from 11.1.1.x release, the BI Platform added a new feature to support multiple currencies. The new session variable (PREFERRED_CURRENCY) is populated through a newly introduced currency prompt. This prompt can take its values from the xml file: userpref_currencies_OBIA.xml, which is hosted in the BI Server installation folder, under :< home>\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\userpref_currencies.xml
This file contains the list of currency preferences, like"Local Currency", "Global Currency 1",…which customers can also rename to give them more meaningful business names. There are two options for showing the list of currency preferences to the user in the dashboard: Static and Dynamic. In Static mode, all users will see the full list as in the user preference currencies file. In the Dynamic mode, the list shown in the currency prompt drop down is a result of a dynamic query specified in the same file. Customers can build some security into the rpd, so the list of currency preferences will be based on the user roles…BI Applications built a subject area: "Dynamic Currency Preference" to run this query, and give every user only the list of currency preferences required by his application roles.
Adding Currency to an Amount Field
When the user selects one of the items from the currency prompt, all the amounts in that page will show in the Currency corresponding to that preference. For example, if the user selects "Global Currency1" from the prompt, all data will be showing in Global Currency 1 as specified in the Configuration Manager. If the user select "Local Currency", all amount fields will show in the Currency of the Business Unit selected in the BU filter of the same page. If there is no particular Business Unit selected in that filter, and the data selected by the query contains amounts in more than one currency (for example one BU has USD as a functional currency, the other has EUR as functional currency), then subtotals will not be available (cannot add USD and EUR amounts in one field), and depending on the set up (see next paragraph), the user may receive an error.
There are two ways to add the Currency field to an amount metric:
- In the form of currency code, like USD, EUR…For this the user needs to add the field "Apps Common Currency Code" to the report. This field is in every subject area, usually under the table "Currency Tag" or "Currency Code"…
- In the form of currency symbol ($ for USD, € for EUR,…) For this, the user needs to format the amount metrics in the report as a currency column, by specifying the currency tag column in the Column Properties option in Column Actions drop down list. Typically this column should be the "BI Common Currency Code" available in every subject area.
- Select Column Properties option in the Edit list of a metric.
- In the Data Format tab, select Custom as Treat Number As.
- Enter the following syntax under Custom Number Format: [$:currencyTagColumn=Subjectarea.table.column] Where Column is the "BI Common Currency Code" defined to take the currency code value based on the currency preference chosen by the user in the Currency preference prompt.

I often want to read something, but have no idea what I want to read.
If there were someway to set up a link that would make a completely random story come up. It would encourage people to read outside what they usually read.
Also, if it were at all possible, have a random fiction button for each category. Eg. A random romance story, or a random Dark/Angst fiction. That way if you knew what you wanted to read, but didn't know what specific story to pick, you wouldn't have to spend ages decided.
Just a random idea.

To the editor:
Clara Frey states in her letter the "president won on substance and grace." ("A view of the debate," Oct. 7) She's one of six people in America who thought President Barack Obama won his debate with Gov. Mitt Romney. Even Obama's biased media following and staff admit he lost. But she gives great reasons why Romney lost - he's a liar. Ten times she mentions he lied or was lying during the debate. Never once does she reveal when or what he lied about. She probably got paid for every time she said lie, lied, lying.
The writer didn't use one of the "lies" Obama's staff offered up for not doing well: It was Denver's high altitude, a poor moderator, he was stressed from appearing on "The View," David Letterman's show, at fundraisers while our ambassador was being murdered in Libya, it was his wedding anniversary, Romney had a voodoo doll with him or he was concerned Sandra Fluke didn't have enough money for her monthly birth control.
She states Americans should vote for Obama to continue our path of growth with stability. You can't say much for her reasoning on growth - 23 million are out of work, 17 million more are on food stamps, there have been more house foreclosures than any prior administration and 17.5 percent real unemployment, but with him in power the next four years she hopes things will change. He had four years to show us his stuff - he failed miserably.
During a recent rally, looking into the eyes of Americans, Obama said "Americans want their president to be open and honest." I bet the writer conveniently forgot about fast and furious and the Benghazi fiasco. The first thing that came to my mind was another truthful liberal when he said, "I did not have sex with that woman."
I'm happy the letter was written - it exposes the narrow-minded, uninformed and politically uneducated thoughts that many liberals have. The writer and her ilk are blind to the facts and are character assassins, not debaters. They are like a small child - say something enough times and you believe it and hope that others do. By saying Romney lied at least 10 times in the letter, I'm sure the writer believes it because you got if from an informed, non-biased source, like David Axelrod or MSNBC.
One point of logic which the writer shows a lack of is the statement that Romney doesn't know what he's talking about. If that's true, how can he be consciously lying? Think this through.
Please try to spin this: The worst top 10 cities in America, one being bombed out Detroit, another being murderland Chicago, were for many decades, and still are, managed by Democrats, while the five most successful swing states are administered by Republicans.

Yes, you can, and the PostGIS documentation page for ST_Distance_Sphere and ST_Distance_Sphereoid both contain good examples. Here's one with lon/lat values plugged in to the ST_Point function:
The result in this example is 508166.687378974 meters.
To make the calculation from a given point to other in a "lon_lat" table you would just do the following:
In the line with katahdin answer, to calculate the distance to ALL other locations in your table, and assuming you have some kind of id in your rows, you can use something like this:

Health & Pregnancy
Vitamin D in Pregnancy May Be Key for Baby's Brain
Sept. 20, 2012 -- Babies score higher on development tests if their moms get enough vitamin D during pregnancy, according to a Spanish study.
But this is also not a cause for healthy women to start worrying.
Nearly 2,000 mothers and their babies participated in the study, which found that inadequate vitamin D is linked to poorer mental and movement skills in infants.
"This study is really going to open the door for those of us who have been advocating a stronger stance on vitamin D recommendations for pregnancy and pre-pregnancy," says Valencia Walker, MD, a neonatologist at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. She reviewed the study for WebMD. "This study helps prove that D matters, and that pregnant women should not be vitamin D deficient."
For the study, researchers measured the vitamin D levels of pregnant women mainly during their second trimester. At 14 months, their babies underwent an approximately hour-long battery of standardized tests that measured their mental development and their psychomotor skills, or their ability to control their physical movements.
In all, 1,820 mother-infant pairs took part in the study, which is published in the journal Pediatrics.
The research team found that, for both measures, babies whose mothers had an optimal level of vitamin D scored slightly higher than babies of mothers who were D deficient.
Such a small difference in scores may not make any noticeable difference for individual babies, says researcher Eva Morales, MD, PhD, MPH, of the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona.
But because so many women don't get enough vitamin D, those small differences may translate into a large societal impact when the number of babies at risk of poorer development is taken into consideration.
"Further studies are needed to conclude if these scores can predict future neuropsychological development later in life," Morales says.

So, this is an assignment my friend and I have for our homework: $7 = 8 - 2e^{-3k}$
And the solution should be: $\frac{1}{3\ln(2)}$
But, I have no idea how they got there. I tried doing:
$$\begin{align*} 7 &= 8 - 2e^{-3k}\\ 1 &= 2e^{-3k}\\ \frac{1}{2} &= e^{-3k} \end{align*}$$
And now I don't know what to do next. Help!
PS: Neither of us was in school when they were learning this lesson. So, some description along the way will be greatly welcomed!

For the past twelve years, a group of 15 employees at Louisville's Sysco plant have pooled their money together every week to buy Powerball tickets.
Things got exciting for the group when they matched all five white balls but not the Powerball to win $1 million from the March 13, 2013 drawing.
The real excitement began on Thursday morning, when pool member James Dowell of Radcliff began checking their tickets. "On one set of numbers I started circling the numbers we'd matched. Before I knew it, we'd matched all first five numbers," Dowell said. Not sure of what they'd won, he called Brent Biddle of Lexington (one of the members of the group) to see how much they had won with five numbers.
Brent initially thought it was $200,000, but it wasn't long before they discovered it was $1 million.
When running into another member of the group, Ken Vetter of Louisville, Ken said, "Give me some good news." James replied, "Well, as a matter of fact, I've got some good news and some bad news." He said good news was that they'd won $1 million.
The bad news was they hadn't matched the Powerball number to win the $216 million jackpot for that draw.
Word of their win quickly traveled to the rest of the group, although since Dowell works 3rd shift several of the members didn't find out until Friday.
After calling the lottery five times to verify the winning numbers, Dowell also went to the store where he'd bought their ticket to have it checked.
Dowell noticed a sign on the door of the West Point BP that said 'We sold a $1 million Powerball ticket.' "As I walked up to the clerk she told me that the winning ticket hadn't been claimed. Dowell replied, "It has now."
As for as what they'll do with the money, several spoke up and said they'd pay off bills. Dowell plans to remodel his house, while Bobby Carter of Louisville is putting his away for retirement.
After taxes, members will receive around $46,000. The retailer, West Point BP on S. 4th Street in West Point, will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

10. Madrid
What Bourne Missed: Royal Palace, Prado Museum, Reina Sofia Museum, Guernica.
One of the stops Bourne has to make while trying to piece his past together, Madrid has been slightly overshadowed in recent times by many other European cities. But this is an undeserved fate, for Madrid has just as much to offer as many more celebrated cities. With an incredible nightlife, great live music, a glamorous football team -- which has in the past been nicknamed "The Galacticos" -- this rowdy side sits easily with a refined, cultured city, which plays host to some world class museums and art galleries, one of which is home to the Picasso masterpiece Guernica.

This question arises from a discussion with my friends on a commonly encountered IQ test questions: "What's the next number in this series 2,6,12,20,...". Here a "number" usually means an integer. I was wondering whether there is a systematical way to solve such problems.Let us call a point on a plane integer point if all the components of it are integers. I want to know the following:
Give a finite set of integer points, Can we always find a corresponding polynomial that passes all these points and maps integers to integers?

To the editor:
Here are some random thoughts:
For those of you with children in the Edison Local School District who don't vote for the levy, I just hope your children grow up to be a little more intelligent than you are, and those of you with no children, just remember that someone voted for levies when your children were in school.
The county commissioners are going to look into the odor coming from the Apex landfill. Sure can tell it's election time.
Has any one noticed that Obama has brought Chicago-style thug politics to Washington?
Used to be that the Democrats represented the working man. They still claim to but that's part of the lie.
Remember that the 1 percenters at the top create most of the jobs that the 99 per centers at the bottom work at. Keep raising taxes on the rich and there won't be any 1 percenters to create jobs for the rest of us. Remember that government doesn't create jobs, it just kills them.
Obama is going to resurrect the coal industry. His nose keeps getting longer.
Gasoline is double what it was when Bush left office.
Nobody is going to take away senior benefits.
Please think long and hard about this country's future before you vote on Election Day.

When installing a cumulative update (or Service Pack) for SharePoint 2010 with Project Server 2010, do I need to install the SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server, and Project Server cumulative updates, or do cumulative updates contain the fixes for the foundation products they sit on top of? (ie, does the Project Server CU contain the Server and Foundation CU's? Does the SharePoint Server CU contain the Foundation CU?)
For SharePoint 2010 there are three packages released for each CU:
You only need to download one of these packages; for instance the Project Server package contains the SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation bits.
From the official SharePoint Updates site: http://technet.microsoft.com/nb-no/sharepoint/ff800847.aspx
To me this sounds like you need to download and install both?
In short, Wictor is right, but in light of Haavard's answer, I checked with a friend on the Project Server support team for an official answer.
He said that there are individual packages released for each component (including Project Server, search, PPS, etc). If you go to the official SharePoint Update Center site, and click on the Latest Cumulative Update link, it will take you to a KB article that links to the individual CU packages for each component. It looks like there are 16 separate client CU's and 10 Server CU's. Unless I am blind (which is possible), the updates page does not link to the all-up server update packages.
As Wictor mentioned, in addition to the component CU's, Microsoft also releases an all-up server update roll-up that includes all the fixes for all the server products at the same time. For the life of me, I cannot find a link to it from the SharePoint updates page, but Brian Smith's blog usually points to the latest version of it the Project Server roll-up, and Stefan Goßner's blog is another great resource for finding all 3 SharePoint 2010 Server update packages as they are released.

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo Distinguished Teaching Professor of English Ronald B. Herzman will deliver the keynote address for the college's two commencement ceremonies May 18 in the Ira S. Wilson Ice Arena. Herzman will speak at both the 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. ceremonies, when he will address "Creative Recycling." The college will confer an estimated 1,200 undergraduate degrees this year.
Herzman is among the longest-serving current Geneseo faculty members with 44 years of service. At the morning ceremony, Herzman also will be the mace bearer as Grand Marshal. Distinguished Service Professor of Geological Sciences Richard A. Young will be Grand Marshal for the afternoon ceremony.
"Ron has served as Grand Marshal in previous years, but it is a distinct pleasure to welcome him as our commencement speaker this year," said SUNY Geneseo President Christopher C. Dahl. "Ron represents the heart of our teaching and learning enterprise. He is an eminent medievalist, honored nationally for his teaching by the medieval Academy of America, and he also inspires other teachers. At the same time he is able to communicate the joys of his field to general audiences, through popular presentations for The Great Courses series and lectures throughout the country. Ron has served in leadership positions on numerous major committees on campus and was co-director of the college's Honors Program from 2005-13, succeeding the late Distinguished Teaching Professor of Philosophy Bill Edgar, for whom the program is now named. Ron has made a tremendous mark on the life of our academic community for decades. This will be my last commencement as president and I am looking forward to hearing his remarks."
Herzman is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. He earned his bachelor's degree from Manhattan College and his master's degree and doctorate from the University of Delaware. His undergraduate alma mater conferred an honorary doctorate of humane letters upon him in 1991.
Herzman came to Geneseo in 1969 as an assistant professor of English, was promoted to associate professor in 1978 and full professor in 1983. In 1976, he received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching and was named Distinguished Teaching Professor of English in 1989.
Herzman specializes in medieval literature, humanities and the Bible as literature but has a particular passion for Dante, on whom he has published and presented extensively. In 2003, he and Distinguished Teaching Professor of History Bill Cook jointly received the first-ever CARA Award for Excellence in Teaching Medieval Studies from the Medieval Academy of America. The award recognized their long-time collaborative accomplishments as team teachers and partners in research in their field of medieval studies.
Herzman has been involved many years with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and was on leave from Geneseo from 1982-85 at the NEH in Washington, D. C., where he created the Seminar for School Teachers Program, a series of summer seminars for school teachers to help them become better teachers. Herzman was the program's first program officer, and the NEH continues to ask him to teach the seminars in various parts of the world.
During commencement, the college will confer an honorary doctor of humane letters degree upon Russell A. Peck, the John Hall Deane Professor of English at the University of Rochester. Peck is one of the world's leading scholars of Middle English literature and a leader in digital humanities.
"Professor Peck has significantly shaped scholarship and teaching in his field," said Dahl. "His leadership in digital humanities has provided access to important scholarship online and built electronic archives that put literary texts in historical, biographical, geographical and other contexts. Honoring a legendary teacher-scholar like Russell Peck reflects the high value that Geneseo places on excellence in teaching as a public liberal arts college."
Geneseo graduate students will be recognized a week earlier during a master's degree ceremony May 11 at 10 a.m. in Alice Austin Theater. Fifty-seven graduate students are expected to receive degrees.
Michael Glover, superintendent of the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership and a 1980 SUNY Geneseo graduate, will deliver the keynote address, titled "We Are Each Other's Business." Glover also received his master's degree in education/special education from Geneseo in 1985. He earned his doctorate in education/special education from the University at Buffalo in 1991.

It's ossur for a man to look at a woman for pleasure. Even to look at her small finger with the intention of having pleasure from it (See EH"E Siman 21 Sif 1.)
Is there any prohibition for a woman to look at a man for pleasure?
There are two opinions in the medrash cited in Aryeh's answer; R' Yehuda permits women gazing upon men. His opinion is accepted by Sh'muel in B'rachos 48b. Although R' Yochanan follows R' Yosi's interpretation of the pasuk there, the gemara does not record that he added the phrase אם כן עשית בנות ישראל כזונות. In fact, R' Yochanan himself allowed women to gaze upon his handsome countenance (B'rachos 20a, Bava M'tzi'a 84a).
Although the Sefer Chasidim implies that it would be forbidden for a woman to gaze at a man (§614, "והוא הדין לאשה שלא תשמע קול איש שמכל שהאיש מוזהר אשה מוזהרת"), this is not generally accepted as halacha. Both R' Moshe Feinstein (Igros Moshe EH vol. 1, §69) and R' Ovadia Yosef יבלחט"א (Yabia Omer OC vol. 1, 6:5) rule that women are permitted to stare at men for aesthetic pleasure as long as they do not fantasize about the man or stare licentiously.
As far as the Sefer HaChinuch quoted in Aryeh's answer, it prohibits women from fantasizing about men other then their husband, but it does not prohibit them from gazing upon other men generally speaking.
Although they're marginal, there are authorities who discuss this.
In Sefer HaChinuch, at the end of Mitzvah # 188 (קפח):
And in Yalkut Shimoni, Shmuel I, # 108 (קח):
So, there are clearly sources that forbid it. The bigger issue here is whether women have the same prohibition of hirhur that men have (which I think deserves its own question). If they don't, there shouldn't be an issue at looking at men - unless, of course, the act of looking at men might cause a stumbling block for men to transgress (but even that sounds tenuous). In any case, neither the Rambam nor the Shulchan Aruch discuss women forbidden to look at men as halacha.

I'm aware that Yorick and Cho'Gath are both good counters for Jayce (in Top Lane) but who else might be a good matchup and why?
To counter Jayce you have to understand how he works, the best and shortest answer I can give you is, To learn how to counter Jayce - top lane, play Jayce - top lane.
The thing with Jayce is unlike most other character's set of 3 skills, he in fact has a 7-skill-long combo-chain, and each skill in the combo is a different ability. It's also important to note that each of his skills (except Transform) operates its cooldown seperatly for each mode (Melee or Ranged).
What does this mean for you? It tells us that Jayce can, at the maximum of once every six seconds (the cooldown on his ultimate: Transform), gain a short but signifigant boost of speed, which makes him a decent sprinter.
What does this mean for you? He has a basic damage dealing Q-key skill on a relatively short cooldown. Keep in mind he can hit you with this and then transform and hit you again with it immediately.
What does this mean for you? He can passivly regain his mana while farming in melee mode, sustained with a passive aura of magic dps from time to time or he can hit you with a very quick burst of attacks in ranged mode. The ranged version of this becomes more threatening as he gets stronger, particuarly when on-hit effects become involved, but should never be underestimated regardless of level.
It is first important to say that this skill costs no mana. So basically, on top of having the ability to transform between modes, doing so gives him single-use-per-change basic attack bonuses. This means that he will want to transform as often as possible to take advantage of these bonuses, regardless of which mode he may seem to prefer.
How do these heroes counter Jayce?
Several other heroes might also fit the bill but these ones seem to do it the best, good luck!
Since Jayce is somewhat ranged, I suggest;
I think you primarily have to realize what type of champ you play and act accordingly. It makes no sense to try to trade with Jayce on the early lvls as Udyr or Riven, because you need all your spells as those champs to properly skirmish, so wait till lvl 3-4 and if you get behind in creep score, it doesnt matter. Dont try to get every single last hit and take tons of dmg for 1 creep, just let yourself fall behind, let him push and then gank him or freeze your lane till you have some lvls. Jayce is a very strong trader but his escapes are somewhat lacking and he naturally pushes, so just tell your jungler to gank him and try to farm, since most champs are more usefull after laning phase than he is.
My personal opinion, and this is from playing both champs in question, is dont pick Jax vs Jayce. Most Jax players Leap strike in, only to get knocked away immediately, and then a quick switch into ranged mode from Jayce takes down their health. If Jax uses a Counter Strike + Leap Strike combo for an instant stun, then he is open for +/- 20 seconds, and Jayce can just combo chain abilities to nuke him. Short of a Jax combo including Flash/Exhaust, Jayce should win the lane phase. Try Malphite/Lee instead.
i think kayle would be a match for him in top lane. i have not tested it out but both of them are ranged ad carries that can solo top so it should be at least an even match, but i think kayle's ult will give her a edge over jayce.
Malphite can win this lane consistently.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
My opinions may be quite bold as I've only faced him a few times top ever since he came out. SEA servers only introduced him on Friday.
He's really strong early game, but he lacks a sustainability which can only be compensated using a wriggles or Philosopher's stone. He's like Darius, except that Darius is much more painful in melee, but he's a semi-ranged AD who can last hit and harass from far.
I would pick Malphite against him top, because as someone above has posted before me, he is really that strong, with a strong shield to absorb all his sustain, and decent gap-closing and poke abilities.
Pre-6, he's pretty weak against AD carries. IMO AD carries that can go top lane and do decent against him are Graves or Caitlyn. Dash away the instant he casts To the Skies, then kite him again. You can still kite him to victory even if he starts with cloth armor and 5 potions, because his base armor in ranged mode is just about a typical AD carry's. In the event he gets an early wriggles to counter you, why don't you do the same?
Jayce is an early game menace. He can be ranged which gives him sustain in his own way. Because he is able to push you away and zone you it makes it difficult to harrass him. But he can harrass you all he pleases. And gap closers at early levels tend to have highcooldowns making it so you give Jayce a window of opportunity when you initiate with it. I play Jayce almost every game and within the laning phase I usually go 4-1. When it come to champs that counter him its difficult tp find one since Jayce can keep his distance or be up close if he so chooses.
Think of jayce in lane as a short ranged ad carry with a bit of disengage, but not a lot.
Heroes like jarvan, malphite, jax, irelia, and lee sin all do really well against him because they can gapclose on him and outbruise him consistently because of how their kits are designed.
Jayce is very squishy early - pick Jax or even Lee Sin and punch him in the face as many times as possible. It is more individual play style that counters Jayce rather than the champion you're playing - one of Jayce's biggest strengths is when he gets ganks from his jungler, so ward as many times as possible.
Remember, Jayce has no sustain so if you can get a fast two Doran's or a Vamp Scepter you can punch him in the face and heal back up fast. Never let him free farm on you - keep up the pressure.

Copperas Cove (January 10, 2013)--The Central Texas College Enactus organization, formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise, will host a grand re-opening of a local pet store in which they helped to revive.
Fins and Flowers, located at 113 East Avenue E, has been remodeled both inside and outside and will now be called Out of the Cage Pet Shop.
At 10 a.m. on Saturday, the public is invited to the grand opening where discounts and sale items will be offered to customers.
The event will last until 6 p.m.
In November, the CTC organization painted and redesigned the store including its inventory and products.
Their goal was to solidify and expand the store's customer base.
This is the second project that the organization has undertaken to help revive small businesses in the area.
Last summer, the students provided assistance to Michele's Floral and Gifts in Copperas Cove by opening a second location, a kiosk, inside the main Post Exchange on Fort Hood.

I'm trying to get a sense if this is an issue for others or every input/output should be labeled so user is not confused and just go with it?
I think almost everyone pronounces it as "LatLon". Who started it? Is it because it's in alphabetical order compared to "LonLat"?
Mapping Lat and Lon to Cartesian plane Lon is "x" and Lat is "y" so since we say "(x,y)" it should be said as "LonLat". And now for display of information. Should the status bar on a mapping application display La,Lo or Lo,Lat? Should it just be labeled as one way and let user deal with it? And same with input, what's the right way to order the fields?
KML's format is Lon,Lat,Altitude. While other apps is Lat,Lon and so have to be very vigilant about when converting formats.
Is there a standard?
[this might be a wiki question since I don't really expect to have a right answer, but maybe get a consensus of best practices or a discussion going]

Are you trying to cut calories? You might want to reconsider that afternoon pop. Not only do sugary drinks contribute no nutrients to your diet, but can potentially lead to weight gain. Cutting back on sugary drinks can help reduce calories, and achieve a healthy weight. Think about this: a 12 ounce glass of orange juice has approximately 180 calories; which is the same as eating three chocolate chip cookies. Drinking a 12 ounce pop every day for a year can equal 55,000 calories, or 15 pounds a year. Pop also has double the teaspoons of sugar as most sports drinks.

This only occurs in Firefox; other applications are unaffected. It also occurred on the LiveUSB I used for installation, making me suspect a hardware or driver issue. The output of lshw on my computer is here: http://pastebin.com/LnSt6veT.
Any idea what might be causing this, or how I can fix it?

Eddie Turner told the Logan County Sheriff's office Monday that his dog had been poisoned.
When he realized his dog was sick nearly a week ago, it was too late.
When Turner talks about his English Pointer Boyd, it's like he's talking about one of his children.
"He loved to go out and hunt during the day but when you came home he was a 70 pound lap dog," Turner says.
Turner purchased Boyd as a puppy and had him for nearly ten years.
When he came home from work last Thursday, he says Boyd was fine, when he came out to check on him later that night something was wrong.
"He was a very sick dog at that point. I called Dr. Beth Tabor at Cornerstone Vet Hospital. They suggested that I bring him on in. I did. They started working on him right away. He was already pretty sick at that point. He wasn't able to control his legs. He had to be packed," he says.
Boyd died at the vet hospital later that night.
"I asked if this could have been an accidental act or if it was intentional and she said with the levels that were in his blood system they didn't think that this was an accidental act. She went on to say that there had been at least three other instances that she knew of recently," Turner says.
The Logan County Sheriff's Office says this isn't the only case of animal poisoning recently, making them believe someone is doing this.
"At this point we've had numerous dog poisonings and numerous cat poisonings," says Sheriff Wallace Whitaker.
Sheriff Whitaker says there has been at least seven cat poisonings and even more dog poisonings.
"The ones that are being called in now are being called by the owners saying that their dogs are missing and then they find them being dead and then when they take them out to the vet. The vet does an autopsy and will tell them that it's some type of poisoning," Whitaker says.
Dr. Tabor with Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital has confirmed Boyd died from antifreeze poisoning.
The Sheriff's Office has also seen instances of rat poisoning.
If you have any additional information, please call Logan County Crime Stoppers at 726-5050.

If Monta keeps playing Monta ball he is going to be an all star this year 23, 4 and 4 so far this year.
Yeah they need a big man but I'm not sure who they can get, Gasol? I have no idea.
You could say that, I guess
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Cleveland's biggest mistake wasn't what they did this draft (even though not picking Vic was a mistake), but rather their decision to pass up on Drummond last year. I had Drummond as the second best player in the draft last year after Davis. He's going to be a beast for many years to come, and a combo of him and Kyrie would have been incredible.
We're a week in. RT @Indyvnzla81: @talkhoops all star this year for sure, finally a coach knows how to use him.

@Indyvnzla81 are you a family member of his? Don't blame coaches for his terrible play the last few years. That's so lazy.

Lol that guy always hated Monta Ellis I was waiting for him to say anything
If instead of Monta that was Rubio OMG we would be all over him.
Damn Bledsoe is putting crazy numbers what the Clippers got for him again? Phoenix robbed LA.
Nope, I'm pretty sure you have twitter too not sure why you don't confirm it first before making s*** up.
Here is his first tweet: @talkhoops: Is it possible for someone to win Most Improved twice in a career? Because Monta Ellis...

He was sarcastic if you know him he doesn't like Monta.
If anyone wins most improved player twice this year it should be Paul George; he went from solid player to all-star, 3rd team all nba last year; this year so far he's all world.
Too bad Paul won't start the all-star game with the east currently constructed, Lebron and Melo will get all the votes.

Not Cousins finest night. great comeback by the Kings. only a 3pt game crazy. Teague dominated the first 3 qters but Kings finally limited dribble pentration
By the way talking about most improved who is most improved so far? Bledsoe?
@AlexKennedyNBA: Eric Bledsoe is currently averaging 22.75 points, 7.75 assists, 5.75 rebounds and 2.25 steals for the 3-1 Phoenix Suns. #MostImprovedPlayer
Most Improved is such a ridiculous award. It should be limited to only players in their first three years or only players after their first three years. Something like that. How can you compare the improvement of Bledsoe who was obviously going to improve with the improvement of someone like Jalen Rose in 2000 who had been in the league several years already.
Bledsoe is probably going to be an early candidate, but its hard to be great when you're playing behind CP3. If Lance continues, I think he has a decent shot at it, especially if the Pacers have a top record.

WELLSBURG - Three Brooke High School students represented their school well in a state competition for teens aspiring to become educators, and two now are eligible to advance to the national level.
Angeline Smith, a senior from Wellsburg, earned the West Virginia Future Educators Association's Leadership Award, the highest honor bestowed by the organization; while Brianna Kowalsky, a senior from Follansbee, placed first in the job application division of the competition.
Kirsten Minger, a senior from Colliers, didn't place in the lesson plan and delivery division in which she competed but had an exceptional presentation, said Diane Lucero, instructor of the careers in education class in which the three are members.

ASPIRING EDUCATORS — From left, Brianna Kowalsky, Kirsten Minger and Angeline Smith represented Brooke High School at the West Virginia Future Educators Association conference in Roanoke. Smith and Kowalsky now are eligible to compete at the national FEA conference in April. -- Contributed
Lucero said the FEA Leadership Award is given to a student who has undertaken a service- and learning-oriented project involving at least 40 hours of work and has demonstrated personal growth through that endeavor.
During the FEA's state conference on Dec. 3 and 4, Smith reported on her efforts at teaching cooking and other living skills to youth in her school's special education program.
Under the supervision of special education instructor Shari Fonner, Smith taught students with mental and physical impairments to make spaghetti, mashed potatoes and other food.
Smith said the students liked taking home some of the food to their families as well as directions so they could make it at home, too.
She also recruited fellow students to assist with a Halloween party for the students and to aid them in practicing with the Brooke Bruin football players with the cooperation of Coach Sean Blumette.
Smith said the experience reinforced her interest in becoming a special education teacher.
The job application division won by Kowalsky, tested students' ability to submit a cover letter and resume demonstrating they are good candidates for a position and their poise and effectiveness while participating in a mock job interview.
Kowalsky said she learned about composing effective resumes in her school's business classes.
She admitted to being a bit nervous during the interview portion, during which three judges gave her points for professional attire, etiquette and other factors.
As a state officer for the FEA, Kowalsky also presented a 40-minute workshop at the conference on the importance of bodily movement to increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain needed for focus, creativity and stress reduction.
Over four presentations Kowalsky taught 150 teens attending the conference to do such dances as The Pizza Hut, The Dinosaur Stomp and the Sid Shuffle. She learned the dances through YouTube, she explained, and enjoyed incorporating her love of dance into a lesson.
As state winners, Smith and Kowalsky are eligible to advance to the national FEA conference in Orlando, Fla. in April and will be raising funds to go there.
As one of 20 competing in the lesson planning and delivery division, Minger submitted a videotape of herself teaching children in Barbara Pettini's second grade class about geometric shapes using a Smartboard, a computer-aided version of an overhead projector and screen; story and other audiovisual aids.
"I loved doing the lesson. It was a lot of fun," said Minger. She added it was the most in-depth of three she did with Pettini's pupils.
The three weren't the only Brooke County residents who delivered presentations at the conference.
Lucero was asked earlier that week to fill in for a presenter who had canceled and spoke to participants about how creative activities help students to learn concepts and skills because they establish a personal connection between the pupils and the subject matter.
Retired Brooke County teacher John Lyonett also was on hand to present a talk on the West Virginia University Extension Service's Energy Express program. Lyonett serves as AmeriCorps coordinator for the summer program, which offers creative book-related activities and nutritious lunches to children in grades 1-6.

Unanswered: markInvalid() field styling not working IE 9
I'm performing server-side validation on a set of fields in a form. When I click the "Save" button, I execute an ajax request to perform the validation/update. My backend program will send back a false if the update was unsuccessful along with the field name of the field in error. Here is some sample code on how I am handling the response if the field is in error:
Ext.Ajax.request({ url: 'vvcall.pgm', params: { pgm: 'myprogram', action: 'saveRecord', inReasonCode: myFormPanel.down('#inputReasonCode').getValue(), inReasonDesc: myFormPanel.down('#inputReasonCodeDesc').getValue(), inReasonStatus: myFormPanel.getForm().getValues().status, inMode: inMode }, success: function(response) { var data = Ext.decode(response.responseText); if (data.SUCCESS == '1') { my.util.msg({ title: 'Saved', msg: data.MSG, el: myGrid.el, slideFrom: 'r' }); // hide form window and reload grid myWindow.hide(); myDataStore.loadPage(1); currentRecord = []; } else { console.log('the bad field = '+data.FLD); try { if (data.FLD !== ' ') { myFormPanel.down('#' + data.FLD).markInvalid(data.MSG); } } catch(e){ Ext.Msg.alert('Ajax Response Unmonitored','An unmonitored error occured when attempting to save record'); } } }, failure: function() { Ext.Msg.alert('Ajax Failure', 'Received a failure response from the server when attempting to save record.'); } });

More weirdness. When I pull up IE console, markinvalid applies the "red outline" style. However, if I don't ever bring up the console, it never works.

Have you seen this example that demonstrates remote validation?

thanks for the link. i have some curiosities:
1. is this a suggestion that markInvalid() does not work in ie with ExtJS 4.0.7?
2. will this type of form validation work with ExtJS 4.0.7?
3. is there a way to do this without the example you listed?

I would think your example would work. The following test case worked ok for me to indicate the field as invalid including the tooltip invalid message when tested on IE9 with 4.0.7:
var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', { title: 'Contact Info', width: 300, bodyPadding: 10, renderTo: Ext.getBody(), tbar: [{ text: 'Mark Name invalid', handler: function () { form.down('textfield').markInvalid('the server says this field is invalid'); } }], items: [{ xtype: 'textfield', name: 'name', fieldLabel: 'Name' }] });Are you a Sencha products veteran who has wondered what it might be like to work at Sencha?

1. Anticipate Traffic Flow
Read the road as far ahead as possible and anticipate the flow of traffic. Act instead of react – increase your scope of action with an appropriate distance between vehicles to use momentum (an increased safety distance equivalent of about 3 seconds to the car in front optimises the options to balance speed fluctuations in traffic flow – enabling steady driving with constant speed).
2. Maintain a steady speed at low RPM
Drive smoothly, using the highest possible gear at low RPM.
3. Shift up early
Shift to higher gear at approximately 2.000 RPM. Consider the traffic situation, safety needs and vehicle specifics.
4. Check tyre pressures frequently at least once a month and before driving at high speed
Keep tyres properly inflated as low tyre pressure is a safety risk and wastes fuel. For correct tyre pressure (acc. To loading, highest pressure and speed driven), check with car's manual.
5. Consider any extra energy required costs fuel and money
Use air conditioning and electrical equipment wisely and switch it off if not needed. Electrical energy is converted from extra fuel burnt in a combustion engine, so electrical equipment doesn't work "for free" – it always costs extra energy and money.
Avoid dead weight and aerodynamic drag.

Love the saddle! I especially like how I don't slide around on the saddle and can stay perched at a comfortable position.
The ultimate bike seat for women, ridden and universally loved around the world. For 14 years, Terry has been designing and testing saddles with female athletes, distance riders, and recreational cyclists in mind. Introduced in 1999, the Italian-made Butterfly represents the best of that research and development. Wider in the rear than typical race saddles for good support of a woman's sit bones; completely cut away through the nose and mid-section, making it flexible and comfortable; low profile, flat top with multi-density injection molded foam that's a bit stiffer in the rear for more power while pedaling; lightest weight titanium rails attach to the shell in an integral suspension bridge design that minimizes road shock; textured leather wears beautifully over time and keeps you in position.

I have been riding the Butterfly for many years, and I'm a-getting mighty sore! (Just kidding.) I do a lot of long distance touring on a Trek 520. This is the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. When I decided to buy a new saddle for my Trek 520 I opted to continue with the women's specific Butterfly rather than going to the men's specific Fly. Probably wouldn't make any difference in comfort, but why change perfectionω When someone once told me, "That's a woman's saddle," I replied, "Not anymore!" Saddles are definitely a matter of personal taste. I would highly recommend this one for anyone who hasn't yet found the right one for him/her.

Find Your Best Bangs: The 5 Most Flattering Styles
What can make a face softer but edgier at the same time? (Don't worry, this isn't some complicated riddle.) Bangs can enhance any face shape—if you wear them the right way, that is. We've rounded up five ideas with fringe benefits, along with hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins's tips for pulling them off.

TIP: Don't rule out bangs if you have naturally curly hair—Swift does! "Determine how smooth your hair gets when you blow-dry it before you cut anything," Hawkins says. Ask your stylist to cut your bangs while they are dry (hair stretches when it's wet), so you'll know exactly how they'll fall.

Despite being outscored by 12 total points, the Charlotte 49ers were swept in three sets (25-23, 25-23, 25-17) at Rhode Island Sunday. Charlotte saw its season record leveled to 8-8 and slipped to 0-4 in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Rams are now 6-10 overall, 2-2 in A-10 action.
The Rams jumped out to a 4-1 edge in the opening set and never lost the lead, despite a couple of late Charlotte runs to close the gap.
The 49ers led by as many as five in the second set, but three runs of 4-0 by URI gave the Rams a late 24-19 lead in the set. Charlotte's comeback got the score to 24-23 after four points in a row, but a Rams kill ended the run and put Rhode Island up two sets to none.
The third set was the tightest, with the two team trading leads until the Rams went on a 6-0 run as Charlotte led 12-10. The 49ers fought back to within one at 18-17, but URI closed the match by scoring the final seven points to take the victory.
The kills lead was tied by junior Amanda Videmsek (Highland Heights, Ohio / Beaumont School) and freshman Mireya Braxton (Charlotte, N.C. / Providence HS), who had eight each. THis was the seventh time this season that Videmsek has led or tied for the team lead in kills, but the second time the team has suffered a loss when it has happened. She also took over the team lead with 194 kills this season. Senior Jenna Litoborski (Lemont, Ill.) led all players in the match with 18 digs.
Charlotte, which has not played a home conference game to this point, will start a five-match home stand starting next Saturday night, when the 49ers host VCU at 7 p.m. It will be Free Youth Night, with all youth ages 17 and under getting in free. For tickets, please contact the 49er Ticket Office at (704) 687-4949.

OXFORD, Miss. – Lindsey Miller recorded a match-high 20 kills to lead Texas A&M to its ninth straight win, a 25-9, 24-26, 27-25, 20-25, 15-10 win at Ole Miss tonight in both teams' regular season finale.
A&M improved to 24-5 overall, the most wins since 2001 when the Aggies went 26-6 and advanced to the NCAA Regional Final. In addition, A&M closed out its inaugural season as a member of the Southeastern Conference with a 16-4 league mark, winning the SEC Western Division championship and placing second overall.
A&M's next match is to be determined as the 64-team NCAA Championship bracket will be unveiled Sunday at 3 p.m. on ESPNU. The Aggies, who entered the week No. 18 in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) and defeated No. 15 (RPI) Tennessee on Wednesday will make their 19th NCAA tournament appearance and are hopeful of hosting first and second rounds for the second consecutive year.
A&M jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the opening set and was in command the entire frame. The Aggies, who outhit Ole Miss, .500 to .000, surged to a 19-9 lead when setter Allie Sawatzky began a six-point rally with a dump kill. Ole Miss hit long on the next play, and Tori Mellinger followed with back-to-back kills to put A&M up 23-9. Another Ole Miss attack error put the Aggies at set point, and Miller capped the win with a kill on the slide attack.
There were 14 ties and six lead changes in the second set as Ole Miss played with much more aggression and accuracy and outhit the Aggies, .368 to .258. Ole Miss held a 16-13 lead before A&M went on a 4-0 run to take a 17-16 lead. It would be the Aggies' final lead of the stanza as Kara Morgan powered one of her five kills in the frame to tie the score, and Ty Laporte followed with an ace to return the lead to Ole Miss. A&M tied the set four more times, twice overcoming two-point deficits, but the Aggies were unable to regain the lead. The score was knotted at 23-23 when Allegra Wells put down her sixth kill of the set with an off-speed shot to put Ole Miss at set point. Alisia Kastmo kept the Aggies alive with a kill, but Laporte countered with a kill on the slide attack. Morgan then blasted a kill to give Ole Miss the 26-24 win and even the match at 1-1.
A&M would take a 5-2 lead early in the third set, but Ole Miss fought back and the set turned into another closely contested battle. Ole Miss took its first lead since 2-1 at 18-17, but a set-over kill by Mariah Agre and a block by Stephanie Minnerly and Kastmo returned the lead to the Maroon and White. The teams then began to exchange points and were tied at 25-all when Wells committed an attack error to put A&M at set point. Kastmo and Miller then teamed for a block to clinch the 27-25 win, giving the Aggies a 2-1 lead in the match.
Ole Miss used a 3-0 run to take a 4-3 lead in the fourth set and kept the lead for the reminder of the frame. Ole Miss, which outhit A&M .440 to .114 in the set, later went on a 5-0 run to build a 13-7 lead that A&M was unable to overcome. The Aggies could get no closer than four points for the remainder of the frame, including 23-19 after A&M scored back-to-back points. But then the Aggies served into the net to put Ole Miss at set point. Miller put A&M within 24-20 with a kill on the slide attack, but Morgan answered with an off-speed kill to end the frame and send A&M to its second consecutive five-set match.
The Aggies jumped out to a 3-0 lead to begin the decisive fifth set, but Ole Miss kept chipping away at the lead, getting within 11-10. Miller then took over, posting back-to-back kills and a block along with Mellinger to put the Aggies at match point, 14-10. Mellinger then followed with a kill to clinch the match for the Aggies.
Miller hit .487 while posting her personal season-high 20 kills. Mellinger registered her 14th double-double with 11 kills and a season-high and match-high 22 digs.
A&M outhit Ole Miss, .259 to .206 to improve to 8-0 in the all-time series and complete the season series sweep. A&M also led in kills (68-61), digs (65-59) and digs (70-59). Ole Miss led in blocks, 11-8.
