STEUBENVILLE - When opportunity knocks, Gary Meal says there's a choice to be made: Grab hold and ride it to the end or take a step back "and wonder how it would have been for the rest of your life."
For Meal and his wife, Janet, the decision was an easy one; this week, they officially began their partnership with the Steubenville Country Club.
"It's just the same thing on a bigger scale," said Meal, who with his wife has operated JC Wine Cellars in East Springfield for the past 15 years. "Whether you're doing one party or multiple parties and events at the same time, it's a challenge."

NEW ADDITION — Gary Meal and his wife, Janet, assumed responsibility for food operations at Steubenville Country Club this week. The Meals, who've operated JC Wine Cellars for the past 15 years, say the addition will allow them to accommodate the larger parties they couldn't do at the East Springfield Restaurant, currently closed for oil and electric repairs following a late-June lightning strike. — Linda Harris
The Country Club had been searching for the right culinary partner for some time. "Really, we wanted to bring country club food back to the country club," said John Denholm, membership coordinator. "I've always been a big fan of JC Wine Cellars myself, and the board thought it was a great fit. Our members here really deserve the best possible amenities we can provide."
The couple started JC Wine Cellars out of necessity.
"We were interested in being a winery, but state law dictates that you have to sell food if you're going to sell or serve wine," he said. "We decided to take the food service up a notch, a couple notches, and offer fine dining, cuisine paired with wines. People have responded. I'm always amazed at the clientele we have out there, people come there from all over the state, the country, the world."
JC Wine Cellars is closed for repairs necessitated by a lightning strike in June which, coincidentally, is just about the time preparations for the food service handover at the Country Club commenced.
"Our building took a direct lightning hit, we had extensive damage," Janet said. "Not structural damage, but it knocked out the electric and gas. Repairs are about 50 percent done, but nothing else can move forward until the gas lines (is fixed)."
That likely won't be until mid-August, Gary said. So, with the restaurant temporarily out of commission, for the past month they've been able to focus their attention on the country club's food operation.
"Cooking for parties and cooking for the dining room are totally different," Gary said. "For parties, you maybe have one or two entrees to prepare and you know ahead of time what they are. With the dining room, you have no idea what people are going to order, when they'll order it or how they'll want it prepared. It's a lot different."
The larger venue will give them options they didn't have at the restaurant. "There's a venue we have out here that we don't have, a venue for larger functions that will allow us to do parties of 15 to 500 people," he said. "That's something that was lacking at JC Wine Cellars because of its size. We ended up turning a lot of business away because of it."
They said the menu will be changing, with a variety of meat, pasta and seafood dishes.
"I don't know whether we have a signature dish at JC Wine Cellars," Gary said. "A lot of people thought crab cakes was our signature dish, a lot said it was our steaks. We just try to do everything exceptionally well, make sure there's plenty of variety for everybody so they can find what they're looking for. There should be something on the menu for everybody."
The food business isn't for the faint of heart, he admits. Hours are long, "and you have to run a tight ship in the restaurant business or go down. You need a tight ship, and you need good, faithful employees who are willing to work hard."
"It's hard to make everybody happy," he adds. "We're in the business of creating smiling faces, but some people can never be pleased."
Still, he says, it's "a new challenge, a big challenge."
"You're excited, you're nervous, you count the days," he added. "But we're going to hit the ground running. We have events booked for the next few months, into next year."
To book events, contact Janet Meal or Andrea Benner, banquet manager, at (740) 264-0521.
For membership information, contact PGA Pro John Denholm at (740) 264-2821.

Violent crimes have happened here in WV while the families were involved in gas drilling negotiations...Mike Yoho was found beaten to death in Littleton and there was a kidnapping as well.We are in the middle of a crime boom. Strange this happened with the Bergholtz clan during all this...were any of the victims not signing leases??? I think the public has a right to know more about the gas aspect.

It appears the Amish scandal was delt with much more severely for cutting hair as we are witnessing the cover up and perversion of the law by the high and mighty in Steuebnville & Jefferson County in wrist slapping football star alleged rapists and party wilding. Where are the parents? Is there no curfew in Jefferson County? The irony between these two events has the world laughing at the corrupt and sociopaths in our mist. The more society become liberal, the less boundry and compassion we experience.

Empathy means, like a good chess player, you study the board from all angles. This is important for job interviews...and girlfriends' fathers. » Read More
Recently I've been working with managers to run better meetings, while, in my private life, I've been held hostage at bad meetings—the kind where you squirm in your seat—with the dentist.
Is there a connection between good meetings and bad dentistry? Yes! It's about control.
Mistake #1: Too much control. You talk, but no one's engaged.
One day, I asked my dentist why he didn't have a spittoon. I like spittoons. They let you, the patient, sit up once in a while, spit, and take a break.
"Describe yourself," one CEO asks job applicants, "in three words or less."
What would you say? Probably not, "I'm wordy and verbose. Also repetitive."
An engineer is dying to tell her boss: "STOP sending me so many emails!"
Ever try to reform your boss?
You know it's risky. Maybe your boss doesn't want to be changed. Maybe, if there's a problem, your boss thinks the problem is you.
No matter how many times people tell you not to drink too much and photocopy your butt at the office holiday party, some people just won't listen.
Here are some of the most outrageous things people have done at office parties, according to a survey of marketing and advertising executives by staffing firm The Creative Group:
"An employee threw his coworker in a lagoon!"
"A person rode naked on a ferris wheel."
"An employee dressed up as a wrestler."
Feedback is like death -
1) You receive a 360 feedback report, describing what everyone at work really thinks about you.
Your first reaction: shock.
You see yourself one way, others another. That's the human condition.
I used to lead management workshops for a large consulting company, the Forum Corp, that included 360 feedback reports. Before distributing the feedback, we'd warn participants:
"You may not believe it's really your report," we'd say.
Workers confessed to professional-networking site LinkedIn what they always wanted to be when they grew up.
Of course, astronaut is on the list.
Here were the Top 5 dream jobs among the men, according to the survey from LinkedIn :
Many workers used to take their health benefits for granted but cutbacks or outright elimination of care has everyone white-knuckling those benefits – just try to pry our fingers off!
A new survey puts it all in perspective: Most people would rather spend a night in jail than lose their benefits.
On a 1-10 scale: how do you respond to problems? Try this technique.
Whenever there's an earthquake—
I'm a big fan of the Richter scale, even though I don't really understand it. The scale goes from 1-10, but the smallest earthquake "that can be felt" (Webster's), only gets a 2.
If I were in an earthquake that could be felt and it only got a 2, I'd be extremely disappointed.
Forget face time, meetings and spending your nights and weekends in the office. There's a growing movement to dump the stereotypical signs that you're working hard in favor of actually working hard – and getting stuff done.
"The majority of companies believe you have to be there from 9 to 6 or 8 to 5, " said Bob Pozen, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "But it really doesn't make sense to say a person who is in the office 40 hours a week is more productive than someone who is in the office 20 hours."
When Obama watched video of the debate, "he grimaced. 'It's worse than I thought' ran through his mind."
That was 2008. Obama had begun his run for president ("Game Change," John Heilemann, Mark Halperin).

I would like to know the reason behind my privileges not carrying over to other Stack Exchange accounts. I understand that reputation is an indication of how good you are at helping, etc, so it makes sense they wouldn't carry over. But when I use another Stack Exchange account, I would expect my privileges would remain, since in at least one account I have proven that I am an individual that will not abuse the system (e.g. allow me to create tags or edit a question - Stack Exchange deems me worthy of that in one account, but not another).
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Each site in the network is different; Just because you are 'trusted' to a certain degree on Stack Overflow does not mean you should also be trusted as much on, say, Cooking. They have different standards of posting, editing, and the like. And just because you know about programming does not mean you know anything about cooking.
There is a very small association bonus, which you have achieved already. This is to get you past some of the most basic abilities. But the higher-up stuff needs you to know what you are doing on that specific site.
You do carry some of the basic privileges once you gain 200 reputation in one site. This leads to automatic 100 rep bonus on any other site you join as your accounted will be linked.
To me, it sounds just fair enough.
100 rep gives you 10 privileges:
You got that right here. You could for example be good at photography and have a deep understanding of how the community on photography.stackexchange.com works and of its standards and ways. You could be a very experienced and active user there and thus have a high rep giving you a bunch of privileges.
Now you could be joining physics.stackexchange.com. You will receive a bonus of 100 rep there to remove the new user restrictions, because you very well know how the system works, but that doesn't imply that you know how the community over there works. Thus, privileges are not transferred from one SE account to another.

One Year Blogiversary
And although an anniversary is always a good time to look back, I think it's an even better time to look forward. So, I'll lift a tip of the veil and show you some of what I am planning for my second year blogging!
You'll hear more about the primary people I am now researching, namely Lodewijk Wesselo (writing his biography now), Adolph Knura (his Dutch period) and Salomon Mulder (in particular his time as a POW). There are also two series in the planning, one which will chronicle my journey to uncover the truth behind a family legend and another series about the Dutch monarchs.
So, plenty to look forward to this next blogging year. Onwards, I say!

WHEELING - A lot of golfers claim that the Crispin Center Golf Course at Oglebay Park can be had for a low number when conditions are right.
Conditions were perfect for scoring Thursday afternoon as the OVAC Golf Championship wrapped up at Oglebay with the 3A schools testing their mettle on the par 71 course.
For the first time in school history, Buckeye Trail claimed the top spot, posting a sizzling team total of 291. That was five shots better than Linsly, which was seeking its 16th team title, but first in 3A after moving up a class for this school year.

The Warriors placed three players on the all-OVAC squad en route to the title, which made ammends for last year's runner-up finish to Martins Ferry, which bumped up to Class 4A this year.
"This was a school record for lowest round," said Warriors' head coach and OVAC Tournament Director Mike Castello.
"I was certainly glad when I saw that Martins Ferry had moved up, but this was a great team effort by our guys today."
The Warriors were fueled to the crown by senior Jessi Roe, who posted a 2-under round of 69. He used a strong back nine en route to the title.
Justin Wilson and Collin Streiff each posted rounds of 72 to earn themselves a spot on the all-tournament team. Jed Burga and Austin Warehime each posted a round of 78 to round out the Warriors' roster.
"Linsly had us by four or five strokes after the front nine," Castello said. "We scored well on the back side and it was enough. We're hoping to use this as a springboard into the rest of our season."
Coach Mark Zavatsky's Cadets put up a solid round in their own right, posting a 295, which the majority of seasons would have been plenty good enough for the top prize.
"If you had told me two or three weeks ago that we'd shoot 295, I would have put that down right then," Zavatsky said. "The kids are kind of bummed because of how they finished in the last few holes, but they still all shot below their averages. Buckeye Trail just shot better."
Leading the way for Linsly was a 1-under round by David Coram, which was runner-up medalist. Casey O'Korn was all-OVAC with a solid round of even par 71.
Other members of the all-OVAC team were Magnolia's Garrett Emch (71) and Fort Frye's Shon Smith (72).
IN THE 5A Tournament up the road at the Jones Course at Speidel's Golf Club, the Wheeling Park Patriots notched their 12th OVAC title and fifth in a row by 12 strokes over University.
The Patriots were led by freshman standout Cole Hand, who shot a 2-under 69 for the medalist honor. He was three shots clear of junior standout Thadd Obecny was runnerup with a 1-over 72.

I am working on a web-based mapping system and I'm trying to figure out the best/most appropriate library to use. There are a few of them about and they each have pros and cons. Even after trying a few of them out I still think I could do with getting a better overall picture.
Edit: I should really specify what I'm looking for. If anyone can post a link to a decent comparison of available libraries that would be great. If everyone could also post facts/features/criticism/whatever I will endeavour to add it to the list below.
The list so far:
- Google Maps
- Microsoft Virtual Earth
- MapQuest
- Leaflet - "The comment smaller, faster, newer, and more straightforward can also be read as less features and less tested." -Geographika (see below)
- ESRI - Works best with ArcGIS Server (see below). Google Maps and Bing maps extensions are also available, letting you use the ESRI API with Google/Bing maps (though this is true of most libraries).
- Yahoo Map API's
- Via Michelin
- OpenLayers - Extensive documentation and a good amount of functionality plus the ability to use different map providers.
- Mapquery - The MapQuery project has the very worthwhile goal of combining OpenLayers and jQuery. The base functionality is there but the project is still quite young. If you're particularly keen on the idea of OpenLayers + jQuery, or if you want to contribute to a JavaScript Mapping Library then get involved and contribute your efforts (please do! I want to use it but don't have the time to contribute). However if you just want to be an end user, or are new to this area it may not be for you. Update 19/09/2011 - MapQuery has been released and now has some useful documentation!
- Mapstraction - Makes things very simple, especially working with multiple basemap providers. However it is still a work in progress and the functionality is lacking in places, as is the documentation. (E.g. "A GeoJSON object with the type "FeatureCollection" is a feature collection object." Not very informative.) It appears that it is still being actively developed but as of 4/4/11 there hasn't been a commit on Github since January.
- Cloudmade
- Jump - jump is a light weight maps library that works on its own, meaning, it is not a wrapper for OpenLayers or GoogleMaps API. Currently it is under development, but a lot of essential features work well.
- ModestMaps - Another smaller, faster, newer JS mapping library from the makers of Mapbox and TileMill.
My recommendation:
OpenLayers has long been the best available open source library and it's the one I am currently using. You can do a lot with it and it supports most data types. However it's not the best for everything. For example, Leaflet seems smoother in many ways, with image fading and other visual tweaks. If you're into jQuery you might like to check out MapQuery which is like a combination of jQuery and OpenLayers. Basically, don't take my recommendation!

I've seen images of charged creepers but I would like to know what the chances are of just stumbling upon one. Or how often you would find one if you were looking for one.
This is not easily answerable and depends on a number of factors.
First, I'm going to assume that you're playing unmodded, vanilla, single-player Minecraft. It doesn't matter if you're playing in creative or survival mode. I'm also going to assume a 90 degree FOV and normal render distance, just to make the numbers easier. If you increase or decrease either, the chances of seeing a charged Creeper will increase or decrease as well.
Then, there are the requirements:
If any of these conditions aren't met, the chance of encountering a charged Creeper is zero.
So assuming the conditions are met, let's look at the probabilities.
One Creeper, one chunk
Creepers, like all mobs, immediately despawn if they leave a 128-block radius area centered around the player. So if there's a Creeper around, it's somewhere in that area.
Now, if you deobfuscate Minecraft 1.2.5 using MCP 6.2,
A chunk contains 162 (or 256) blocks so given any specific block, there's a 1:25,600,000 chance of a lightning strike. Since Creepers only take up one block and—once spawned—have no block restrictions, there's a 1:25,600,000 chance of a Creeper getting charged.
One Creeper, all loaded chunks
Since lightning is calculated independently per chunk, we need to account for all loaded chunks. At a normal render distance, a radius of 16 chunks are loaded, for a total of 206. Given the probability of a chunk getting hit by lightning is 1:100,000, that means the probability of at least one chunk getting hit by lightning is 1:485. Multiply that by the chance the Creeper is in that chunk (1:206) and the block the Creeper is on is hit (1:256), the probability of the Creeper being hit by lightning is 1:25,626,249.
One Creeper, all chunks, over time
This is only after one lightning strike, and lightning strikes are calculated once per tick. A tick is 1/20 a second, and according to
So, over time, the probability of that Creeper getting struck by lightning is 1:7,118 at 3 minutes and 1:1,643 at 13 minutes.
Encountering the charged Creeper
But you want to know what the chances are of encountering a charged Creeper are, not the chances of whether one will exist. Since encounter can mean a lot of things, I'm going to use the most liberal definition, which is seeing a charged Creeper. At a normal render distance, you can see 128 blocks out, which corresponds nicely to the allowable radius of the Creeper. And at a 90 degree FOV, you should be able to see 1/4 of the possible render area. If a Creeper is on the surface, you have a 1/4 chance of actually looking in the right direction to see said Creeper.
It's way too complex to try and figure out what happens if the Creeper moves and you move or you're not looking in the right direction, so I'm going to ignore that and assume you and the Creeper aren't moving, but you're actively looking for it by rotating your field of view 360 degrees. Thus, the probability of encountering a charged Creeper should be the same as the Creeper existing.
More Creepers, more fun
Now, if there are more Creepers on the field, you have a better chance of finding a charged Creeper. There are way too many different combinations and scenarios to list out, but here are two idealized scenarios:
Edit: See Mark Trapp's answer for the chance of seeing one with the proper conditions met
I would imagine a slim to none chance if you don't improve your chances of seeing one by the means of: going out into an open area outside at night where creepers can spawn while there is a thunderstorm.
As shown in this post, mobs despawn when you unload or leave a certain chunk of land. That being said, if you don't stay in an area for a long time and the creepers don't despawn.... You would have a slight chance BUT creepers only get charged by being struck by lightning. (therefore you would need a storm as well)
If you are really interested in seeing a creeper BECOMING CHARGED, try using theBukkit mod to spawn mobs. So, go into a [creative] world and use the console command:
That should spawn one creeper per the syntax shown here.
For weather type:
Or you can just spawn a charged creeper with this command with the Bukkit mod:
Keep in mind you need Operator privileges to use the Bukkit mod
Also keep in mind charged creepers do a lot more damage then normal creepers. If you are not in creative mode, keep your distance if you want to survive!

8 Amazing (And Totally Useless) Skills People Taught Animals
Remember the last time you taught a pet to do a simple trick like sit or roll over? Hours of coaxing, promises of treats, all to get an animal to do something that's ultimately pointless? Well, we're about to severely squash your sense of accomplishment, because apparently you could've spent that time doing something far more impressive (but still completely pointless), like ...
#8. Teaching Mice to Surf
Here, have this picture of a mouse on a miniature surfboard. You're welcome.
On the bottom of the board is an airbrushed middle finger for the sharks.
We know what you're thinking: Some fiend glued a poor mouse to a tiny surfboard and then quickly snapped a photo before it drowned. But the truth is infinitely stranger -- for the past 25 years, Australian Shane Wilmott has been teaching his pet mice how to surf. As a teenager, he'd watch the little waves close to the shore and wish that he could surf them. Since science has never gotten its ass in gear on that shrink ray we've all been waiting for, Shane did the next best thing and started crafting mini surfboards for his pet mice.
"When you're done with that, put on this Nixon mask. We're going to the bank."
He starts them off in his bathtub to let them gain confidence in the water. Then it's out to the swimming pool for training sessions with a remote control boat before turning them loose on the beach. And they're not just standing there, petrified -- as anyone who's ever surfed before can tell you, you need to actively balance yourself unless you fancy dinner at an all-you-can-eat sand buffet. You can see them in action here, complete with a Quentin Tarantino-esque soundtrack:
Now, one thing that strikes us as a bit off is that unless there's some kind of weird forced perspective trick going on here, these aren't so much "mice" as they are big-ass rats:
Possibly a horse.
But then this is Australia we're talking about, so we're just going to assume that the mice there are some kind of gigantic, mutated version of our puny American mice. And also venomous.
#7. Teaching Elephants Basketball
Even if you're not really into basketball, we bet we could get you to spring for a couple tickets if we told you the game would look like this:
It's called traveling, Dumbo. Learn it.
Meet Malie, an elephant who lives at the Island Safari Center in Koh Sumai, Thailand, with her roomie, Toktak. One day, the zookeepers were in their shed smoking some weed and watching some basketball on TV (we assume) when one thing led to another and they decided to train the two elephants to play basketball.
The organizers say that it took two to three months to teach each of them the basics of the game, which includes holding the ball with their trunk, walking to the hoop, standing on their hind legs and dunking the ball. Tourists who've seen the spectacle claim that it's unbelievable, but if even half the stuff we've heard about Bangkok is true, we honestly doubt that basketball-playing elephants would even break the top 10 of the most unbelievable things done with balls in Thailand. Still, look at it!
#6. Teaching a Cow to Be a Horse
Most of us think of cows as lazy, fat animals, slowly munching away on some grass while staring blankly at us with hard, murderous yet uncaring eyes. But when 15-year-old Regina Mayer from Germany couldn't talk her parents into springing for a horse, she decided to do the next best thing -- she took the family cow, Luna, and forced her to rebel against her bovine nature by training her to do this:
PA Wire via Times of Malta
"Bring the skateboarding lens. You're going to need it."
That's right: For two years, Regina's been training Luna to act just like a horse. She rides the cow and makes her jump over makeshift hurdles constructed from beer crates, because Germany. And while the speed and height of their maneuvers may not compare to those of a "real" horse, the fact that she was able to convince a cow to lift its feet with her riding on its back is an impressive achievement in itself.
The teenager spends at least an hour a day with Luna, riding her, petting her, brushing her hair and making sure nobody comes near the cow with a mirror. Are we the only ones who would totally watch a jousting contest where everybody was riding cows? Or even better, a gladiator movie where they're pulling the chariots? Just mooing the whole time? It seems like the possibilities are endless here.
#5. Having a Laughing Cock Contest
Man, sometimes you have to wonder if people do things with the express intention of landing themselves in a Cracked article. Take the good folks of Jakarta, Indonesia, for example -- they spend years training their cocks to prepare them for their annual laughing cock contest. How exactly does one "train" a cock to laugh, you ask? We're sorry, we're far too busy snickering to answer that question right now.
If that prize translates to "#1 Cock," we're booking our flight to Indonesia immediately.
Breeders make their living off of their roosters' chortling skills, a trick bred and trained into them from the earliest stages of chick-hood. A good male hatchling can go for up to 5 million rupees, which is about $575 in non-Monopoly money. The special roosters are called king chickens, because apparently Indonesian farmers don't realize that the name "laughing cocks" equates to marketing gold. You can watch them cackle here:
At the contests, the judges rate the roosters on ... how good they laugh, we guess? Some of them do a long, drawn-out laugh with four to 12 guffaws at a time, while others are capable of going on and on like that machine gun at the end of Rambo. How you become an expert judge of cock laughter isn't quite clear, but we sincerely hope there are Laughing Cock Expert name badges involved.
(We're sorry, but if laughing at that makes us childish, we want to never grow up.)

Let G be a topological group and let $s_1$ and $s_2$ be loops in G (both loops are based at the identity e of G). Is it true that the loop $s_1s_2$ (where the multiplication is the one of the group structure of G) is equal, in $\pi_1(G,e)$, to the loop $s_1*s_2$ where this product is given by first going around $s_1$ and then $s_2$ (i.e., do we have $[s_1s_2] = [s_1*s_2]$)? If yes, what is the proof for this?
Yes and this is known as the Eckmann-Hilton argument. (Wikipedia)
Instead of using the Eckmann-Hilton argument abstractly, you can make it explicit, as follows:
We can reparameterize the loop $s_1$ to be constant (and equal to the neutral element) on $[1/2,1]$ and $s_2$ to be constant on $[0,1/2]$. Then $[s_1 \ast s_2] = [s_1 s_2]$ and since $s_1s_2 = s_2s_1$ we also get that the fundamental group is abelian.

It is only me that is confused.
It is only I that am confused.
The first one sounds more natural to me while the second one appears to me as grammatically correct. Which one is correct?
This question is as much about what form of the first person singular personal pronoun should follow 'It is . . .' as it is about the form of the subsequent verb be.
The normal response to a question such as 'Who's there?' is 'It's me.' However, when, as here, the clause is modified by a relative clause, I loses the formality it has in the response 'It is I'. Thus, 'It is only I who am confused' is unexceptionable. (I have substituted who for that to avoid clouding the issue over the choice between the two.)
The question remains whether 'It is only' can be followed by 'me', and, if so, whether is or am is the appropriate form of the verb. I think the answer to the first part is that it can be, and that the answer to the second part is that the most likely form of the verb is is. That seems to be because me doesn't expect am in the way that I does. But use 'It is only I . . .' and there is no further choice to be made.
As in many of these cases, it really depends on what you mean by "grammatically correct".
As you point out, the first version would probably be judged as sounding more natural by most native speakers. So it is certainly grammatical or "correct" in that sense.
Now, irrespectively of what sounds natural, some speakers aesthetically prefer (or have been taught to aesthetically prefer) the second version, at least in formal writing. Subscribers to that rule would probably also use "who" rather than "that".
So, the second version is the "correct" version if you subscribe to a rule that artificially demands this form. But it's really up to you whether or not you decide to subscribe to that rule: it's just an artificial invention at the end of the day. (It's also worth noting, as with most prescriptive rules, that the argumentation behind it is essentially nonsense...)

Blue light, yellow light, and the role of...

Blue light, yellow light, and the role of parvalbumin-positive neurons in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia
Parvalbumin (PV)-positive cells are a prominent subtype of GABA neuron that via perisomatic synapses may strongly inhibit pyramidal cell activity (however, see Szabadics et al., 2006). In schizophrenia, PV neurons have reduced levels of mRNA for PV and for GAD67, the 67 kilodalton form of the GABA-synthesizing enzyme glutamate decarboxylase. The functional consequences of the PV reduction in schizophrenia are poorly understood, but one possibility is that decreased PV partially compensates for a deficit in GABA release caused by the GAD67 reduction. PV is a slow Ca2+ buffer, and so decreasing PV in nerve terminals may facilitate GABA release during repetitive PV cell firing (for a review, see Gonzalez-Burgos and Lewis, 2008).
Why is PV cell-mediated inhibition significant to brain function? What deficits in cortical circuit function may be compensated for (at least partially) by a decrease of PV in schizophrenia? The answers to these questions depend on our knowledge of the functional role of PV neurons in cortical circuits. A leading hypothesis in this regard suggests that PV cells are essential for the production of synchronized oscillations in cortex, particularly in the γ frequency band (Bartos et al., 2007). γ oscillations are thought to be important for the transmission of information within and between neocortical areas (Salinas and Sejnowski, 2001). If so, then γ activity must be important for cognition, which is critically dependent on the flow of information across the neocortex (Singer, 1999; Fuster, 2004). Therefore, cognitive deficits (a key feature of schizophrenia) may result from the impairment of γ oscillations reported in the illness, which in turn could be a consequence of deficits in PV cell-mediated inhibition.
How is PV cell-mediated inhibition linked to the production of γ oscillations? PV neurons alone are not sufficient to produce network oscillations because, although PV cell membranes resonate at γ frequency (Pike et al., 2000), PV neurons actually lack intrinsic pacemaker activity. Therefore, whereas PV cells may be necessary to produce γ oscillations, synaptic interactions with other cell types in the cortical circuit must be necessary as well.
Studying the link between PV neuron activity and γ oscillations is complicated by the lack of tools available to selectively manipulate PV cell activity. Interestingly, two recent studies (Sohal et al., 2009; Cardin et al., 2009) employed novel "optogenetic" methods in mice, to further advance our understanding of how PV neurons are involved in γ oscillations.
Using viral vectors to drive cell type-specific expression of recombinant genes, Sohal and colleagues, as well as Cardin et al., produced expression of microbial opsins (which are light-sensitive ion channel proteins) selectively in specific populations of cortical neurons. Briefly described, modulation of neuronal activity using such optogenetic techniques works as follows: in cells expressing channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2), illumination with blue light produces a depolarizing current that has excitatory effects (increases cell firing). On the other hand, cells expressing halorhodopsin (eNpHR) respond to yellow light with a hyperpolarizing current that has inhibitory effects (decreases cell firing). In this way, light of different wavelengths can be used to either inhibit or excite PV cells or pyramidal (PYR) neurons in the mouse cortex (in vivo or in vitro) in different experimental designs.
Sohal and colleagues first demonstrated that inhibiting the activity of eNpHR-expressing PV neurons with yellow light suppresses γ oscillations generated in vivo by rhythmic flashes of blue light applied to stimulate nearby ChR2-expressing PYR neurons. Furthermore, they show that non-rhythmic excitation of PYR cells produces non-rhythmic PYR cell firing. However, if the non-rhythmic PYR spikes are used to trigger feedback inhibition by PV neurons (driven by blue light flashes that stimulate ChR2-expressing PV cells), the addition of feedback inhibition induces a γ rhythm in PYR cell output. These results show that by means of recurrent interactions with pyramidal cells (consistent with the so-called PING models of γ rhythms; Whittington et al., 2000), PV cell activity is crucial for γ oscillations.
Finally, the experiments performed by Sohal et al. suggest that γ activity may selectively enhance the flow of information in cortical circuits. For example, their experiments demonstrate that the gain of the neuronal input-output relation (that is, the slope of the curve describing the transformation of inputs into outputs) is specifically enhanced when excitatory inputs onto a PYR cell are modulated rhythmically at γ frequency. Moreover, the amount of information flowing across synapses during interactions between PYR and PV neurons was estimated using concepts derived from information theory. The estimates from Sohal et al. showed that when network activity was driven by trains of blue flashes delivered at γ frequency, information transmission was markedly enhanced.
Using somewhat different genetic engineering approaches, Cardin and colleagues produced cell type-specific expression of ChR2 in PV cells or PYR neurons. Expression of ChR2 in PV cells of the mouse barrel (somatosensory) cortex allowed the activation of PV neurons with rhythmic flashes of light. Such manipulation produced rhythmic population activity (as detected recording local field potentials) more strongly when PV cells were driven at γ frequency compared with other frequencies. They report, in addition, some data showing that manipulation of PV cell activity has an impact on γ oscillations intrinsically generated by the cortical circuits, as opposed to γ rhythms induced by rhythmic stimuli applied by the investigators. For example, brief flashes of blue light applied to stimulate firing of ChR2-expressing PV neurons during spontaneous γ activity were able to reset the phase of the γ rhythm.
Cardin et al. also demonstrate that activation of ChR2-expressing PV neurons can suppress the somatosensory response (to whisker stimulation) of nearby PYR cells. Then they go on to test an important functional role predicted for γ oscillations: that cells in a local network engaged in γ oscillations may respond differently to incoming inputs, depending on the timing of the incoming inputs relative to the phase of the γ cycle (Fries et al., 2007). In an elegant experiment, the investigators paired brief whisker stimulation with rhythmic flashes of blue light which, by stimulating ChR2-expressing PV cells, generate a γ rhythm locally. The crucial finding from this experiment is that the excitatory power of whisker stimulation was strongly dependent on the γ cycle phase at which whisker stimulation was delivered.
The data from these two recent studies briefly summarized above further consolidate the notion that PV-positive GABA neurons are key players in the mechanisms of γ synchrony in cortex. The data from these studies confirm that rhythmic PV neuron firing at γ frequency is sufficient to generate a γ rhythm in the population of postsynaptic neurons. This is not the same, however, as saying that PV neurons alone are sufficient to generate γ. Indeed, the data from these two studies point to the idea that PV neurons work in close interaction, via feedback loops, with nearby pyramidal cells. This makes sense, given that PV neurons are not intrinsic pacemakers. γ rhythms, therefore, seem to originate in complex network interactions that require the coordinated activity of pyramidal neurons, PV cells, and possibly other GABA neuron subtypes as well.
These two studies also highlight the similar importance of PV cell-dependent γ oscillations across different regions of cortex primarily involved in very different functions: Sohal and colleagues studied the role of PV neurons in frontal cortical areas, whereas Cardin et al. manipulated PV cell activity in the primary somatosensory cortex. The similarity of the findings regarding PV neuron function suggests that these neurons probably play a very similar role, at the microcircuit level, in these two very different cortical areas. Interestingly, deficits in GABA transmission, as assessed in postmortem brain studies, appear to be found in multiple areas of cortex simultaneously (Hashimoto et al., 2008). If this is indeed the case, then an impairment of γ oscillations may be present in most cortical areas. Thus, deficits in PV cell-dependent γ rhythms may explain the impairment of not only complex cognitive functions (for example, working memory), but also of more basic sensory processing which, as reviewed elsewhere (Javitt, 2009), is also impaired in schizophrenia. Finding a global deficit of GABA transmission and γ oscillations, as opposed to a deficit restricted to a single cortical area, increases the probability of success in developing pharmacological treatments.
A better understanding of the functional role of PV neurons in normal cortical circuits is crucial to developing better models that could explain how alterations of PV cells (and of other GABA neurons subtypes) originate in schizophrenia. As highlighted elsewhere (Lewis and Gonzalez-Burgos, 2008), any given alteration observed in schizophrenia may represent 1) cause, an upstream factor related to the disease pathogenesis; 2) consequence, a deleterious effect of a cause; 3) compensation, a response to either cause or consequence that helps restore homeostasis; or 4) confound, a product of factors frequently associated with, but not a part of, the disease process, or an artifact of the approach used to obtain the measure of interest. A major challenge for schizophrenia research is therefore determining to which of the four "C" categories each alteration belongs (Lewis and Gonzalez-Burgos, 2008). Certainly, information from basic neuroscience research studies such as those of Sohal et al. and Cardin et al. and many other past and future studies is extremely helpful in achieving this goal.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012:
This year you learn to detach even more. It becomes very important for you to understand what is going on with higher-ups. There will be the version they present to you, and the authentic side they choose to reveal to others. Travel, education and people from a distance are fortunate for you. If you are single, your affectionate and demonstrative nature attracts many potential sweeties. It could be difficult to choose which one is right for you. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from taking some time away together to relax and reconnect. Schedule that vacation soon. AQUARIUS can be provocative.

If one were cooking a pot of pasta or a soup and later found a bug or many bugs in the pasta or soup, would the pot need to be re-kashered after it was thoroughly cleaned?

No need to kasher once the bugs have been cleaned out, because the halachah is that bugs are נותן טעם לפגם, they impart an unpleasant taste [that does not enhance the flavor of other foods]. Source: Yoreh Deah siman 104.
Your average bug is probably not much bigger than a half a centimeter. That means its volume is 0.125 cm^3. Assuming a bug is roughly the same density as water, a bug should weigh around 125mg. 60 times the weight of a bug would be roughly 7.5 grams. Most pots contain more food then that.
I did it in weight because it is easier to appreciate weight measurements, it would come to roughly the same result if one calculated in volume, a pot 60 times .125 cm^3 would be 7.5 cm^3. That is definitely smaller than your average pot.
In other words, there is a good chance that the bug would be batul in the pot.

I recall seeing this option when I created my album, but I don't know how to get back to it. If you email the photo album to a friend, it makes them sign up before they can view it.
The correct way currently is via Alex answer of going to the cogwheel and selecting share.
You don't need to set the album's privacy to public. That link gives anybody who has it the possibility to see the album.
There is a really nasty way, i do often. In before, it can take long to do this, so let me explain it: You go through the photos in the album and then rightclick on the pictures and do "copy image location" then you send him those links.
It is really a thing i do not do often, cause it is exhausting.
I would kind of suggest you to use dropbox or something easier.
Press "edit photos" then right at the bottom (underneath the "save" button) is the public link. Labeled as such.

Scrum and agile says that items on the current sprint backlog should be approached in priority order, and one item at a time by the whole team.
Practically, that never seems to work for our team. Either the item is too small for all team members to be productive (including taking pairing into account). So we end up perhaps doing two or three items across the team at any one time.
I'd be interested to hear how other teams do it, and also how many items they usually commit to in a given sprint.

Fan Chung and Ron Graham's book Erdos on Graphs: His Legacy of Unsolved Problems (A. K. Peters, 1998) collects together all of Erdos's open problems in graph theory that they could find into a single volume, complete with bounties where applicable. Of course Erdos posed many other open problems in combinatorics and number theory that do not appear in this book. I once heard a rumor that some people were working on a project to publish a similar but more comprehensive book or series of books, covering all of Erdos's open problems, but I don't know if the rumor is true. Does such a compilation exist? If not, is there anything else like this besides Chung and Graham's book?
I would be most impressed if there existed such a list! The closest thing I've found is this long list of references to papers Erdős published containing problems. I don't know if it is comprehensive, and it has some overlap with the content of Chung and Graham's book, but it at least contains the names of the Erdős papers cited in Guy's Unsolved Problems in Number Theory.
Although not an answer to the original question, but let me mention that Erdos' papers up to 1989 are available here.
This is not a direct answer to your (good!) question, but Research Problems in Discrete Geometry by Brass, Moser, and Pach (Springer 2005) cites Erdos more than 100 times.

Embargoed until 21 March 2012
A coalition of mental health organisations has
welcomed the House of Commons' decision yesterday to give mental
health a higher priority in the new health system in England.
Mind, Rethink Mental Illness, the Mental
Health Foundation, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the
Centre for Mental Health together welcomed the Government's
decision to support an amendment to give the Secretary of State for
Health an explicit duty to support both physical and mental
The amendment puts the Government's own
commitment to parity of esteem between mental and physical health
care on a statutory footing, making it clear that the Secretary of
State has a duty to improve the nation's mental health services and
the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of both physical
and mental health.
In a joint statement they said: "We hope that
this duty on the Secretary of State can help to ensure 'parity of
esteem' between mental and physical health can be achieved at every
level, from national policy to local planning in the NHS, social
care services and public health.
"We also hope that the amendment will, more
broadly and over time, influence positive changes in attitudes to
mental health, and in knowledge, priorities, professional training
and practice, all of which are necessary to reduce the stigma
experienced by those with mental health problems and to improve the
assessment and care they receive.
"Mental ill health affects one person in six
each year and costs society some £105 billion a year in England.
Mental health care receives about 11 per cent of the NHS
budget1, despite representing 23 per cent of the burden
of ill health2.
"By integrating physical and mental health
care and ensuring both have equal prominence in planning and
delivering health and social care services, we can not only improve
the support people receive for their overall health but also save
taxpayers' money."

I just wanted to point out a couple of things. There is a major sore spot with a lot of people about some key elements that were left out of the new 7.1 mix. In fact, it is a deal-breaker to me, and I will be listening to the mono mix from now on. The scene where Annie yells, "Speed Kills!!!" at Myers when he is driving his car past the girls as they are walking down the street. Up until now, for 35 years, the background music rises in pitch after Myers slams on the breaks in his car. For some reason, on this new 7.1 mix, the pitch does not rise at all. It is an absolute crime to remove the key element that makes this scene work. It renders the scene pretty darn ineffective, in fact.
One of a few reasons why I think this release is closer to a failure, than not. It is not just mere nitpicking to be horribly disappointed in a thing like that. I just thank my lucky stars that the mono mix DOES have the original elements intact.....although it's just not enough consolation for many, many people who now have no use for the new 7.1 mix.
As far as the new transfer, the actual detail and sharpness is indeed amazing, and is a wonder to behold, however the muted look of the color palette is absolutely not the way longtime fans have remembered this film. Not by a long shot. Which brings me to the following point. This is the second time cinematographer Dean Cundey has signed off on the new color timing as what was "originally intended". Those looking forward to seeing the "Cundey 'blue night'" will have to look at the SD DVD from the early 2000's. The awesome blue overtones and amber hues have been terribly muted for this release, and I find myself wondering just what Cundey's "original intention" actually was. How can two releases in a row, both be the original intent? If we had the sharpness of the new transfer + the color palette we all remember, it would be a wonderful thing! We do not get that here, and it is a shame. Again, this is the second time Cundey has signed off on a color-timing.
As far as extras, the new commentary track is so painful to listen to, what with Jamie Lee Curtis' ceaseless exclamations that you can hear Carpenter clearly getting annoyed at Curtis' hyperactive exuberance. I'm glad that she is in awe of Carpenter but she interrupts him so much it becomes unbearable. Have a listen an you will see what I mean. He can hardly get a sentence off.
I'm not gonna complain about past extras not being ported over to this release because we are all familiar with the drill: Keep your other disks to view past special features. -I'm fine with that-
When you add up the failings of this release, it becomes obvious that it is more than merely "not definitive", but mostly a blown opportunity and half a sham.

Drag and Drop from Grid to Tree issue
Thanks to jpnet for posting an example of "grid to tree drag n drop" in this thread: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.ph...ight=drag+drop
This is exactly what i want to achieve, but i m having an issue, the grid item can't be dragged to anywhere, when i drag it, it displays a 'red stop' symbol at the top of the Grid(right over the first column name), and in Firebug, an exception message shows up when a drag event is performed. It says "a is null", i don't know what this means.
i m wondering if it's because the tree has no nodes in it? Someone can help me? Thanks!

Reports: Red Sox to hire John Farrell as manager
(AP) BOSTON - The Red Sox reportedly have reached an agreement to bring Toronto Blue Jays manager John Farrell to Boston to replace Bobby Valentine.
Red Sox spokeswoman Pam Kenn said early Sunday the team had no announcement to make. Comcast SportsNet New England reported that the deal was agreed to.
Boston had been talking to the Blue Jays about compensation for Farrell, who had one year remaining in his Toronto contract. He was 154-170 in two seasons with the Blue Jays following four years as Boston's pitching coach.
The Red Sox fired Valentine the day after finishing in last place in the AL East with a 69-93 record that was the franchise's worst since 1965.

Since any vector $v$ is a linear combination $\sum v^je_j$ of its components, $df$ is uniquely determined by $df_p(e_j)$ for each $j$ and each $p \in U$, which are just the partial derivaties of $f$ on $U$. Thus $df$ provides a way of encoding the partial derivatives of $f$. It can be decoded by noticing that the coordinates $x^1, x^2, \dots , x^n$ are themselves functions on $U$, and so define differential 1-forms $dx^1,dx^2,\dots,dx^n$. Since $\frac{\partial x^i}{\partial x^j} = \delta_{ij}$, the Kronecker delta function, it follows that
$$ df = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{\partial f}{\partial x^i}dx^i $$
I don't understand the bit about the coordinates being functions themselves. What does that mean?

We are studying topology. There are a lot of definitions and theorems. I wonder if there somewhere knowledge base about topology and reasoning system exists. So I expect some tool that systematizes all things in topology and can answer me some simple questions about properties of topological object, give me list of theorems for some topics ans so on.
My science interest is about IT and mathematical modeling. And i chose topology as extra course just for curiosity.
Nobody in my group knows about such tool. I mean some software tool as i know tables and diagrams for example in Engelking, General Topology.
Thanks a lot and sorry for English (it's not my native).
