10 states with the highest levels of gun violence
Also see the Deseret News' lists on the states with the strictest and most lenient gun laws.

Wow, with a couple of exceptions the states are pretty much in the southern part of the US. I would have thought New York or California, or other high crime places like Detroit might have been on the list. Not sure why this is.

Interestingly, the list is all the states that support and love the NRA. When will the GOP wake up and divorce themselves from this obnoxious, self-serving, money-grubbing, lobbyist, peddler of weapons? This is not about the 2nd amendment, folks. It's all about the money...

Very interesting. Surprisingly little overlap between this list and the other
two lists (strictest and most lenient gun laws). None of the strict states
appear, and only three of the lenient states are among the highest in terms of
per-capita gun violence - Louisiana, Arizona, and Alaska.
I would be very interested to see what the contributing theory would be behind the other seven states - not to strict, not to lenient, yet higher in violence (Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama). Interesting that seven of the most violent states are in the South, only three in the West.

@Moderate Thinking,
If you take away the West Coast, which has stricter gun laws, you are only left with 7 states around the Rocky Mountains. That means almost half of the West is among the most violent states. Scary. CO is more strict since Aurora.
Owning a gun means someone you love is more likely to wind up a victim of gun violence.

I am originally from Louisiana. I love the place and it will always be
considered my "home." My parents still live there and I visit every
year. I graduated from LSU.
However, there is a reason I decided to raise my kids in Utah. Seeing Louisiana at at the top of that list does not surprise me at all. Sad to say, I don't see it getting any better.

I can't speak for the other states, but having lived in Phoenix for 15
years I think I know why they are so high on the list:
illegals/'coyotes' and Mexican drug cartels. A 'coyote'
will bring in a dozen or so illegals, and another coyote (with some friends)
will kidnap the entire group and hold them for ransom. All coyotes use guns.
Occasionally a gun battle breaks out during the kidnapping. I bet all the
victims are counted in these statistics.
The drug cartels are also involved in kidnapping and killing rivals. Phoenix is number 2 (behind Mexico City) in kidnappings in the WORLD.

You know what is really scary, people willing to give up their rights that the
founders clearly laid out in black and white. Drunk drivers kill more people in
America, but we don't get rid of cars and go completely to public
transportation....I am a proud member of the NRA, I own 3 guns, and have owned
guns since I was young. I am responsible, have my concealed carry permit, and
lock up my guns. So tell me EastCoastCoug, how come non of my guns have ever
killed anyone? It's really odd, because I keep getting told that my guns
will eventually kill someone, but they just seem to lay around and not do that.
Even when I carry at my job and there are lots of people around, it just
won't shoot people....
I hate fish. I have tried fish several times, and I do not like fish. But guess what, I won't tell you not to eat the fish. Even though they are loaded with Mercury, and will kill you, if you want to eat fish, do so. Don't like guns, don't buy one. Leave me an my legally owned guns alone.

Misleading article is misleading.
Once you factor out suicides, the list agenda largely falls apart. Ordered by gun murders, the list goes: Washington DC, Louisiana, Missouri, Maryland, South Carolina, Delaware, Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia. (according to Wikipedia) So it obviously isn't just a red state vs blue state thing.
Washington DC has extraordinary amounts of Gun Control, yet has more than 10 times the gun murder rate than Utah. CA has exceedingly strict gun laws, yet more than 4 times Utah's gun murder rate. New York has oppressive gun control laws yet more than 3 times Utah's gun murder rate. Massachusetts with its assault weapons ban has more than double Utah's gun murder rate.
I disregard suicides because the method used is largely irrelevant. The person committing suicide will use whatever is convenient at hand. In the absence of a firearm the person will use pills, engine exhaust, a rope, etc. Almost all the people who I've known that committed suicide did so with pills.

You make some very good points. Unfortunately, even by your metrics my home state of Louisiana, and South Carolina (where my sister lives) both still rank very high. I'm honestly surprised that SC does not rate higher. It is number 6 on the Deseret News list and number 5 on yours, but had someone asked me I would have guessed at number 2. I have traveled back and forth to Washington DC many times on business. I can honestly say I feel safer in DC than in many areas of Louisiana and South Carolina. I'm working on my sister trying to convince her she needs to move to Utah. She has two children and as I mentioned above Utah is a wonderful place to raise a family.

Your "Car Argument" has been oft-repeated and always refuted. Cars have many other purposes. Guns have only one. I need to register, pass a test and have a license to drive a car. Not so with guns (thanks to the aforementioned, $$-driven NRA). Congratulations on being a safe gun owner. Unfortunately, there are many who have access to guns that shouldn't and no way to restrict gun ownership. You people think everyone wants to take your guns away. We don't. We just wish you would be more sensible in regulation and registration of ownership as with all other potentially dangerous things out there. Like cars....

You mean Utah didn't even make the Top 10? Why not. After all, if what the gun control people say is true, that more guns means more murders, Utah should, at the very least, be in the Top Five.

Did the description in the Deseret News state the Center for American Progress is a "non-partisan" research institute? The Center for American Progress is a progressive public policy research and advocacy organization." (Wikipedia) The term "progressive public policy advocacy" means to promote "progressive politics." Progressive politics are synonymous with Marxism, Socialism, One World Government, Fabian Socialism, Eugenics and State-ism. Progressivism is clearly quite anti-American, anti-Bill of Rights, anti-constitutional law, anti-freedom. Progressive want a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT dictatorship. Please don't pretend this study has any validity whatsoever. As a former actuary I can completely discredit it by changing the measuring metrics to view crime rates in cities where "Gun Laws" and prohibitions infringing upon the 2nd Amendment are toughest.

@ Tom in MS,
Read the statistics. The vast majority of gun deaths are not street violence involving strangers. 80% of all deaths come from someone the victim knows: usually a jilted ex-husband or boyfriend, etc. Sure there is black on black violence, but that doesn't explain all of it.
I agree NRA members are not always the perps, but their stubborn insistence on free, unregistered access to guns by all - including the violent, mentally ill, etc. are what keeps guns so readily available to violent nut jobs and our death rate among the highest in the world (higher than Libya!). You said yourselves they solve their problems with guns rather than fists or knives (where fewer deaths would result). The NRA are the ones in La-La Land and it is driven by money!

Wow, you say the truth, what I see everyday, and everyone on here jumps down your throat! Don't think I'm naive. I grew up in California, in an extremely homogeneous area. I have lived in the south for six or seven years. How long have you lived in the south? Don't condemn what I say when you don't have the same experiences that I do. By the same token, I will respect your experience. I have seen differently than what you describe, and I spoke out about my experience and perspective. And by the way, I'm not a member of the NRA. But, don't be fooled by those who wish to encroach on the Second Amendment (or the First, Third, Fourth, or any of the others). You cannot change what the Constitution says by legislation or Executive Order. It will not pass Constitutional muster. Once the Supreme Court forgets that, we are in serious trouble as a country.

"Figures don't lie, but liars figure."
Consider the source, the progressive advocacy group, in cahoots with the hard core gun grabbers.
Consider the methodology- Cherry pick a list of factors and weight them to get the results you want, and then only highlight a select few in the media summary.
The biggest red herring is painting suicide as "gun violence."
HOw about someone doing some real research and running some correlations between actual gun violence perpetrators and some other factors. Like maybe- race, ethnicity, single parent or traditional family, illegal drug use, immigration status, heck, even throw in their party affiliation if they are registered voters.
Correlation is not causation, and these factors may or may not be any more causal than the factors cherry picked by the anti-gun activists.
By the way, how about a straight listing of criminal homicides by state compared to the "Brady Bunch" scores on having "good gun laws?"

I agree that suicides need to be taken out of this so called un bias research. this test can be made to say what ever you want if you include and exlude enough facts. Utah is one of the most gun toting states around and has one of the lowest gun crimes/murders in the U.S. This article was written by a democrat for a democrat. complete nonsense.

Several people here have noted the need to pull suicides out of the list of criteria. If you notice Shane333's comment above, he did exactly that and showed a listing strictly by gun murders. I would like to see one with more info that just murders (ie. forcible rape, armed robbery, etc.). But Shane's list at least removes the suicide factor.

Washington DC, Louisiana, Missouri, Maryland, South Carolina, Delaware,
Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia.
It would be better written "Washington DC, New Orleans, St. Louis-Kansas City, Baltimore, South Carolina, Spillover from Baltimore/Philly, Detroit, Spillover from New Orleans, Miami, Georgia.
The articles list would be almost the same with Phoenix added for AZ.
We can probably all agree that the problems are worst in the big cities. By that definition most big cities are dominated by Dem voters so if you want to point that finger then it is the anti NRA crowd that is causing all the gun violence.
However, when you ignore the politics a few well known truths are apparent - Crime is higher in warm cities, crime is higher in southern cities (border), crime is higher in big cities.
I am amazed that they could not find a way to get Dallas and Houston on their list.

Wouldn't people just find another means to kill one another if they
didn't have access to a gun?

I would say this list has a lot more to do with income levels than anything else. When you can't afford to put food on the table, you're more likely to be willing to kill to survive, I suppose. Probably a terrible assumption to make, but it seems like many lower-income states were on the list.

Cars vs guns? You do realize that one is a privilege, one is a right? Know the difference? Besides, I do NOT need a license to own a car, or buy a car. It's only when I choose to drive it in public that I need a license. And have to pass a test. Same with a gun.

LVIS is correct. The Constitution(law of the land) gives us the RIGHT to own firearms. And more specifically, any gun we want. If you want a Bazooka, you can have one(BTW, I don't know why you would need one, but it is your right) Driving is a privilege, and is not guaranteed. That is the fundamental difference. The Constitution is very clear on the right to own firearms. The RIGHT shall NOT be INFRINGED. It is my right to protect myself, and my family, from a predator, AND the GOVERNMENT.
BTW, I am a huge proponent of Education and firearms. My kids have all held guns and shot guns. They know what they are, what they can do, and how dangerous they are. They also know if they want to hold one, they can ask. They have no desire to find it, and play with it, thereby making sure the next generation in my family is well educated on firearm safety.

PP - your comments are very valid... except the biggest of the biggest cities -
and states where these large cities dominate the overall state population... are
under represented on this list.
For example... my neighbor state, South Carolina, has no big cities. None. It has no neighboring big cities unless you count Charlotte, NC. It just happens to have a very independent based populace... where the "rebel" attitude still lives strong. It is a state where only recently the rebel flag recently disappeared from state houses. This is in common with several other states on the list.
I don't mean this critically of these people, other than there is a larger segment of these populations per capita that have the attitude of settling issues themselves.... and deep sense of self reliance and independence. These are people who settle disputes themselves.
Doesn't explain it all... but it plays a factor. That and gun ownership/hunting is just part of life here. Democrat or Republican.... guns are owned by many.... and both sides defend the 2nd amendment equally.

I, for one, find it fascinating how the anti-gun Center for American Progress
names off some of the safest states in the union.
Alaska, they actually have Alaska listed. Tell me, exactly what street can a person not walk down at night in any city in Alaska? Is there even one? LOL
I can believe Georgia, there's a lot of unsavory areas where crime is rampant there, mostly out of the Democrat-run cities, of course.
New Mexico, another fairly safe state.
Oh yes, this study is unbiased and totally fair. California is not even listed, NY, IL aren't listed, and we know that NY and IL suffers from plagues of gun violence. They're always having issues of some kind of gun violence so often that it doesn't even make the news anymore unless it's some major catastrophe. DC is riddled with gun violence everywhere.
I really have to wonder how exactly they got their numbers.
Something tells me that the left needs us to believe gun violence is worse in states with less-strict gun-laws, and they're willing to pervert data-collection to do it.

The Founding Fathers didn't know when they needed to rise up against government either. The Germans didn't know when they needed to rise up against their government either, and as a result of their inability to mount a proper defense, they never did, and hundreds of thousands of people died in a horrifically blood war as a result. Oh, and Nuclear weapons came into play too . . . as a result of a people either unwilling or unable to defend themselves from their government.
All of Communism proved what happens when governments are not adequately opposed by their people. The Middle East even today proves how difficult it is to fight government, even when more people have access to proper weapons. Now, imagine they had none. Many of those leaders out there actually agree with Hitler on a lot, and they prove it.
We didn't know that Japan was about to raze the west coast. Thank God enough of us stil love Him because we should have lost the Pacific at Pearl Harbor. You think the military, the state militias would have been enough then?

Also, it's not against elected officials.
Hugo Chavez, the great supporter of Obama won the last election too. So did Hitler and just about all the Communist regimes. They're all "elected" officials.
The Islamic regimes that are mere political terror networks, they're also often "elected" officials.
Indeed, all of the English Parliament were elected officials as they approved of the king mistreating and neglecting the U.S. colonies. However, they were actually elected, as far as we know.
Violence will be taken against the government that no longer has the authority to be government. That means a government that over-steps it's bounds, that violates their legal place, that seeks to take those unalienable rights to which they have no ownership or power to dictate.
You on the left are okay with government taking your rights, indeed, you cannot volunteer to give them to government fast enough. However, us on the right still believe in the foundational ideals of this nation. We do not want to live in the dictatorship you liberals clamor over anyone who gets in your way for.

Happy Xmas (War is Over)
Happy Xmas (War is Over)This lovely version of John Lennon's classic is by Sarah McLachlan and the Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach Children's Choir and Youth Choir.

Sadly, war is not over, and the beautiful children in this video singing it won't make it so. It'll be waved away as bleeding heart impractical leftist pablum.My son, 17, loved it. He is not an aged cynic, bless him.(I had a Peter, Paul and Mary version of "Stewball.")
Beautiful, Lisa. Truly beautiful. Thank you.
It struck me while listening to this performance that the tune is identical to that of Stewball (Was a Racehorse).
You are one of the very few people who I know who have heard of "Stewball."
Makes me feel very old that this can be considered a "classic". Although a priest once told me that a couple choosing music for their wedding had spoken about having "something classic," like "On Eagle's Wings", they said.
A nice song and Sarah McLachlan is a wonderful singer, but John Lennon's apparently conscious decision to "X" "Christ" out of the title of the song diminishes its impact IMO.
^I felt the same way when Christina Aguilera started calling herself "Xtina." It's like they totally forgot the reason for the season, bro.
Add another person, Jim. My mom had that PP&M album. One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar in college
Not kidding in my earlier post; the Lennon song, as I remember and interpreted it at the time, was a bitter commentary on the fact that children were dying right and left in some conflagration all the time. The "X"ing of Christmas was merely another sign that Christ--or at least his Christians--were oblivious to this scenario. Most of Lennon's work, left to his own devices without the tempering effect of McCartney or the performance art cool of Ono, was very funny but deeply angry.I would suggest that my friend William Collier enjoy the McLachlan version, which uses the word "Christmas" throughout, not "Xmas," and take it as the song of hope she construes from it.Seen "The Hobbit" yet? Of course you have! Thought about you when my son went last weekend. I declined. I'm old and have faced up to the fact that no wizards, white or gray, are gonna come and help me in my adventures in Middle Earth. I'm working my way through three seasons of "Deadwood" on DVD. I find it astringent.
Haven't seen it, Jean, and not sure if I will. Reviews have been so-so, and, in any event, I wasn't enthusiastic about Jackson's cinematic rendering of the trilogy. Too many unnecessary deviations from the books, about which I'm sola scriptura, so to speak. ;)As to the song, I'm doing penance by repeating it throughout the day on my ipod. :)
In this and every other instance, the "X" in "Xmas" is a shorthand derived from the Greek word for Christ. And for what it's worth, the original version of the song uses the word "Christmas" many times throughout. It's a protest song, but the "X" ain't part of the protest.BTW, the song grew out of a billboard campaign, and the poster version actually spells out "Christmas." (You can hear the song AND download your own poster -- in many languages -- here. OORLOG IS VOORBU, anybody?)
William, I thought the movies were a huge improvement on LOTR. There was a certain amount of humor and it took a lot less time to get through the story. Mollie, at the risk of falling into the intentional fallacy, I'm not sure you are right that there was no significance to the "X" in "Xmas" in the original version. It's been many years, but as I recall, there was a lot of talk in those dear dim days about people becoming so sloppy about Christmas and its meaning that they couldn't be bothered to write out the whole thing. Anyone looking for an English take on Christmas, Beatles dead or alive excluded, can still get the Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College Chapel on the BBC for a limited duration: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0127m4jFinally got around to listening today. Now that Xmas is over, one can focus on Christmas. If you get my drift ...
There's a lot of talk in these dim days about how "Xmas" is an insult to the true meaning of Christmas (QED). It was baloney then and it's baloney now. When John Lennon wanted to insult Christians he was pretty direct about it.
Well, I may be full of baloney according to the Commonweal editors, but I don't have to be told twice that I'm a pain in the ass on this thread.Merry Xmas.
I think you mean "Woman." Double Fantasy, right?
"Havent seen it, Jean, and not sure if I will. Reviews have been so-so, and, in any event, I wasnt enthusiastic about Jacksons cinematic rendering of the trilogy. Too many unnecessary deviations from the books, about which Im sola scriptura, so to speak. ;)"Ditto on each and every point.

|Great day. Cool in the trees, warmer as the sun rose. Hit snow about 25oo ft. Lots of snow at the summit, probably a good 10ft+. Trail markers at the level of the snow. Few trees down between 2500ft and 3000ft. No snowshoes needed but may help with long hike in soft snow. Rivers are roaring more than ever. Getting ready for Hood in a couple weeks.

Does Twitter offer a feature like "tweet by email"? (I'd like to send an email instead of a text message from my phone to tweet)
migrated from webmasters.stackexchange.com Sep 14 '12 at 18:28
This question came from our site for pro webmasters.
Built in to Twitter, no. There are several services that will facilitate this for you.
The most popular seems to be Tweetymail. TwitterMail is another. Twitdom may have some more in their "email" tag.
For what it's worth, Tweet to Email does the opposite. It lets you send your Tweets to your non-Twitter using friends.
Also consider If This Than That!
It's really a cool service that supports a huge amount of web services you can link to each other by triggers and actions.
You can for example link the e-mail trigger to the Twitter action.

Does there exist a ring $R$ with a nonzero maximal ideal $M$ such that $R^2=R$ and $MR = RM = 0$?
Here $R$ is associative but does not have an identity (obviously). It seems a simple enough question but I'm not even sure of the answer if I insist that $M$ be the only proper ideal. I know $R$ can't be commutative and that the conditions can't be relaxed (much); for example, there is a commutative ring satisfying these conditions if $M$ need not be maximal.

A changing society with lifestyles that include less physical activity, more time in front of electronic devices and a culture craving fast food are some of the variables that have led to a near-epidemic level of childhood obesity in the United States, studies show.
Physicians are the first to record the growing problem - literally - as they chart a child's growth and physical development from birth on. And while some children may have health disorders that contribute to weight problems, the majority of overweight children are the products of their environment.
Angie Haberfield, a dietician at the Howard Long Wellness Center in Wheeling, works with families to bring about a healthy lifestyle that, in turn, leads to a healthy weight for the whole family.

Angie Haberfield, a dietician at the Howard Long Wellness Center in Wheeling, works with families seeking healthier lifestyles to fight childhood obesity.
The new direction to stop obesity before it begins starts with parents, experts say, as healthy choices made at home will set an example for a lifetime.
"It has to start with the parents. They are the ones who have to serve as role models for their children and that means having nutritious foods available and encouraging their children's physical fitness," Haberfield said.
Haberfield promotes the LEAN program which stands for Lifestyle, Exercise and Nutrition. Overweight children are referred to the program at the Howard Long Wellness Center by their physicians. Most health insurance providers do not cover these programs but financial scholarships are available to families who qualify for the reduced and free lunch programs in their schools.
She said most health insurance plans do not pay for nutrition plans or consultations until after someone has developed type 2 diabetes or heart problems.
Haberfield believes a healthy "family lifestyle" means taking a walk in the park together, biking or hiking a trail, or simply playing outdoors. It also requires meal planning that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, lowfat dairy products and fewer processed foods.
"Physical education classes are not emphasized like they used to be in school. Today, schools are more interested in making the grades for the tests that determine school funding. So it's important that kids be active after school whether it's through sports or family activities," Haberfield commented.
That's not to say that schools have not changed the way they approach a healthy learning environment. School lunches are getting away from pre-packaged, processed foods to more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and other healthy choices.
Recess, which always was a chance for youngsters to burn off some afternoon energy, appears to be less a priority for schools, though, with many elementary schools allotting a maximum 15 minutes for exercise.
However, Haberfield said if children are not used to eating healthy foods at home, they are less likely to eat them at school. School trash cans will affirm that fact.
The Healthy Hunger Free Act of 2010 changed the nutrition requirements for school lunches and outlines activity wellness plans schools should be following.
Prior to starting a family on a LEAN program, Haberfield gives the parents a quiz that helps everyone understand what is contributing to their child's weight problem. Parents are asked what foods are regularly served in the home, how often fast foods are consumed, what physical activities are planned, and more.
"We then can teach the parents and kids not only what types of food to eat, but also the proper portions.
"We ask how often kids are eating, whether they are eating too much fast food and even if they are eating together or just driving through the fast food lanes," Haberfield noted.
Parents, grandparents and caregivers are reminded not to use food as a reward or punishment. They should set limits on sugary or fat-laden foods.
Children, like adults, will seek out "comfort foods," but limiting the accessibility of empty calorie foods in lieu of more nutritional items can change a child's eating habits for the better.
Obese children as young as 9 and 10 are showing early signs of cardiac problems, arthritis, bone deformity and high cholesterol. Many are already diabetic.
Some programs are proving to have a positive effect, especially in the Mountain State. While they are baby steps, they are making headway, health officials noted.
According to West Virginia University's CARDIAC program, 27.8 percent of the fifth graders in the 2011-12 school year screened by the university program were obese as compared to 28.9 percent of those screened in the 2010-11 school year. High blood pressure levels in the same study group fell from 24 percent to 20.3 percent as did cholesterol levels from 26.1 percent of 23.5 percent.
Rick Goff, director of the West Virginia Office of Child Nutrition, attributes the health improvements to a recent increase in physical activity in the schools and fewer processed foods being served in school cafeterias. School cooks in 26 counties in West Virginia have been provided training on how to cook "from scratch" rather than using packaged foods.

What if I have a Nokia PC Suite backuped file which contains all the SMS and want to copy them to the new iPhone?
Please check iNoki at: http://www.nokisoft.com/inoki. It's an iPhone app which can extract and import data in .NBU file created by Nokia PC Suite. All phonebook, sms, calendar, photo, audio, videos can be imported.
AppStore link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inoki/id438619967?ls=1&mt=8
SMS is viewable in iNoki instead of native SMS app - for apple has no official API to insert into native SMS db.
I can provide half an answer. I'm not sure how to get the SMS out of the Nokia backup, but you won't be able to copy them to the new iPhone directly. You'll need to write a script to translate them to the iPhone format. I provide instructions below how to reverse engineer the iPhone SMS DB.
The iPhone SMS DB is sqlite3. If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can get and view the DB on the phone itself (install terminal) or on your desktop:
If your phone is not jailbroken, you can operate on the backup up SMS DB, replace the backup locally and then restore the iPhone. The backup is located in:
And, in my case, and according to various web sources, is named:
Although comments below indicate that may not always be the name of the file. Run the sqlite3 command above to dump this to ASCII to understand the format, then replicate this format with whatever tools you want from your Nokia DB.
The program inoki has marketing material that shows it might work for your problem:
Declaration : I do not guarantee success for this process as I am not the owner and I do not have relations to this website. I'm only answering thi question because I have had a hard time looking for the solution to this myself. The free version probably won't work other than to see if it can get a few records as there is alsoo a paid version that costs USD19.99 through the APPSTORE ishttp://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inoki-lite/id461608906?mt=8
Though its difficult method, I just want you to know it exists in the worst case. You can also do it manually by exporting the messages from C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Suite (the name of the db might be like sms_db.sqlite). There are many tools to read SQLite db like MesaSQLite for Mac and a firefox plugin for Firefox browser.
Then using the same tool import it into the iPhone SMS DB.
I have already written how to deal with iPhone SMS DB here

On April 23, 2012, Mayor Bloomberg announced the launch of the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), an applied science research institute that is being created by New York University and NYU Tandon School of Engineering with a consortium of world-class universities and the foremost international tech companies to address the needs of cities.
CUSP simultaneously responds to two important challenges:
For the first time in history, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas; in just a few more decades, the world's population will exceed 9 billion, 70 percent of whom will live in cities. Enabling those cities to deliver services effectively, efficiently, and sustainably while keeping their citizens safe, healthy, prosperous, and well-informed will be among the most important undertakings in this century.
CUSP will tackle these urban challenges and set the research agenda on the science of cities, educating the next generation of engineers in how to apply that research, bringing innovative ideas to a world market, and creating a new, fast-growing, and indispensible industry—along with the many jobs that go with it.
At the scale at which it will operate, CUSP will generate an entirely new sector in New York City's economy, placing it at the center of a global stage in this field.
We have identified Downtown Brooklyn as the preferred location for CUSP. It is a vibrant, creative, entrepreneurial neighborhood whose energy will be leveraged by the tech cluster we expect to spark. Growth in this field will be an especially good fit for MetroTech Center, helping it to more fully realize the City's vision for this campus as a hotbed of technology firms and research.
We have identified a particularly promising site: 370 Jay Street, an empty City-owned building adjacent to MetroTech and NYU Tandon. It will be just a few short subway stops from NYU's main campus in Washington Square, giving CUSP immediate access to thinkers and practitioners who are creating and implementing scholarship on urban issues across the many disciplines found at a major international research university. In addition, it is entirely consistent with the citywide strategy for growth in the University's NYU 2031 plan to meet its academic space needs over the next two decades.
In our current thinking, much of the existing 370 Jay Street building will be maintained, demolishing a modest section at one end to create a new six-story wing for state-of-the-art lab space. To make a quick start, we will first establish CUSP in leased space at MetroTech Center. After renovations at Jay Street are completed—estimated for 2017—it will then become the home to CUSP, provide incubator space for start-ups, and have space for other technology and entrepreneurial support firms that will be attracted to CUSP.
We have sought an approach to CUSP that is consistent with NYU's strong and widely recognized commitment to sustainability. For that reason, we will pursue adaptive reuse, rather than demolition and re-building, having a dramatically lower environmental impact. To make the building far more efficient, our plans call for re-cladding it with a high-tech, high-performance façade system using recycled materials to help keep the building cooler when hot and warmer when cold. We will install a green roof, which both helps with heating/cooling efficiency and allows for the installation of a "gray water" system to replace the waste of potable water. Recycled and locally-sourced materials will be the materials of choice for 370 Jay Street. And we will replace the building's outdated interior systems with state-of-the-art, lower energy-consuming heating, cooling, and lighting systems; moreover, we will study other ways to improve building performance as part of CUSP's academic mission. CUSP-related construction and renovation will achieve LEED Gold certification or higher.
CUSP will be an important new academic program for NYU. Led by a world-class director – renowned physicist Steven Koonin – it will have at full strength approximately 50 principal investigators (30 tenured and tenure-track faculty from NYU/NYU Tandon and the other academic partners, and 20 research scientists from the industrial partners), over 400 Master's students, 100 Ph.D. students, and 30 post-docs. This academic core will spark new technologies, discoveries, and innovations; lead to new businesses and job creation; educate the workforce for the high-tech urban science sector; and position New York City as the world capital of applied urban science, to be uttered in the same breath as "world capital of finance…of the arts…of media…of publishing."
For NYU, the development of CUSP could not come at a better moment: It fits brilliantly with the investments we are making in NYU Tandon's academics and physical infrastructure, and it will serve as the applied science arm of a broader, interdisciplinary academic initiative on cities – the Institute for Cities, Environment, and Sustainability -- that NYU has begun exploring with faculty and deans.
Using cities as a "living laboratories" will be essential to CUSP's research enterprise. We will work with municipal agencies in each of CUSP's partner cities, using their real-world problems to target our research and apply our solutions in real-world settings. In New York, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has already agreed to be our prototype partner in this sphere, giving CUSP's researchers access to the very specific scientific and engineering challenges the agency faces in the coming years. In so doing, we will create a template for forming similar living laboratory partnerships with other agencies around the globe.
CUSP will draw its research strength from an extraordinary consortium – leading institutions of higher learning, leaders in the tech industry, and leaders in public service — that individually rank among the most prominent in their sectors, but together form an unsurpassed whole.
CUSP Director Steve Koonin and CUNY Vice Chancellor for Research Gillian Small testified at the September 28, 2012 oversight hearing.
The goal of each of our incubators is to provide the guidance, expertise, and resources that organizations need to grow into successful ventures that bring economic growth to New York City.

It's happening at NYU. Innovations born in NYU labs, classrooms and dorms have been transformed into products and services that save time, boost productivity, conserve energy and resources and save lives—all while creating jobs.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You seem to be beginning with game development. For beginners I would always suggest starting with a game engine. Once you have few simple games under your belt, you will have much better idea about how 'expensive' certain operations are etc. and you can give a go at your own engine if you wish.
There are many way of rendering objects. But your question is flawed. You should be asking how do I render things with acceptable speed. Once you get to several hundred objects, unless you have properly setup your rendering pipeline, you will quickly hit performance bottleneck. The idea behind performance is to queue as many operations as possible and then hand them over to the GPU for rendering. So for practice, it does not matter what you render, chose your projectiles for example, but then setup a test where you render 5000 of them, and make sure you can get a good framerate (60fps minimum). Unless you can hit this milestone, there is no point coding other stuff. Once this works, then instead of rendering 5000 identical images, use the same principle but render what you want.
Once again, you see how this is getting complicated quickly. I suggest you use a game engine like Orge, Allegro etc.

As many of you probably know, the day-age theory is an attempt to reconcile creation and evolution, by turning the days mentioned in Genesis into long periods of time. What is the Biblical evidence against this theory? How can I use Scripture to refute such a view?
Sign up

We read in Exodus 33 about how Moses would speak with God "face to face." Most Christians believe that the Genesis Creation account is recorded by Moses as inspired directly by God, likely a direct result of these conversations. The account is as direct from God Himself as you could hope for.
With that in mind, I like the second paragraph of this answer to a related question:
I think that's right on the money. The best interpretations will take these sections of Genesis literally. This is important, but it's less important than a strong faith in a creator God and a redeemer Christ.
I also think it's a great mistake in the literal reading of this passage to assume that a literal day is "24 hours." That's not how a day is strictly defined, by either the modern world or the ancient world.
In the modern world, a day is not 24 hours; rather, a day is the time it takes the earth to complete one rotation. What meaning, then, does the word "day" have in Genesis when the earth is at first "without form and void"? What meaning can "day" have if there are no humans, nor any other living thing, to perceive it?
The ancient world defined a day a little differently. In the ancient world, a "day" began at sunset and ran to the next sunset. That can result in days with very different lengths, depending on what time of year it is and your current latitude. This is an interpretation supported both by the Genesis creation account (the purposes given for the sun and moon are to mark sacred days, seasons, and years) as well as by the New Testament (most Christians believe that Jesus was dead for a period lasting in total less than 48 hours, but thanks to this interpretation counts for three "days": all of Saturday, but only parts of Friday and Sunday).
This has important implications when you then realize that it's several Genesis "days" before the sun exists. Remember that the purpose of the sun is to mark days. How do you count a day before the sun is created, when the sun is integral to that definition?
In summary, please do take a literal reading a Genesis chapter 1... just make sure to read very carefully. A 24 hour day is not the only possible strict interpretation of the passage.
The primary argument against the day age theory is from the Hebrew Grammer. The word Yom is translated day in this passage, and in different contexts it can mean different things.
If we were to stop here in our investigation of the word we could conclude that the genesis account could include the idea of the word yom referring to an age instead of a literal day. But as we dig deeper this view becomes less likely.
Every place we find the word Yom with the words morning or evening it always means a literal 24 hour day. Every place we find the word Yom with a number (First Day for example) it always means a literal day. So usage would tell us that when we find the words "So the evening and the morning were the first day." we would fully expect that this means a literal day and not an age.
Well I'd like to make a clarification, having dealt with both, day age theory is not necessarily an attempt to fit evolution into the bible. Day age theory in and of it's self is only an attempt to cram billions of years into the days of genesis to agree with modern cosmological "science", and usually does not directly endorse biological evolution. Many who hold that claim still claim to take the bible seriously, and Hugh Ross even claims it's a literal interpretation.
Theistic Evolution
Theistic evolutionists in my experience, mostly dismiss the parts of the bible that disagree with their worldview. They'll make many claims, usually a shot gun approach to see which one can be accepted such as: The bible has many errors in it, genesis was a compiled creation account similar to other creation myths, it's allegorical not historical, I've even heard it was just poetic, the list goes on. So coming up with a biblical refutation to theistic evolution is not going to do you much good in that situation because for whatever reason you show and no matter how black and white you show it in the scripture, they'll come up with a reason why the scripture itself shouldn't be trusted.
So you first need to help them determine if they actually believe in God or just think He's a nice idea. Even if you can prove everything, at this point it won't do anybody any good if we establish that God is real, but they won't trust and obey Him. That's how God works, He doesn't normally go around proving He's God to people who don't want to trust Him. He does all the time to those who will though, as it is written He "resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble."
If they decide that they actually do trust God but they are just unsure about the Bible really being what He said, then you need to deal with that. For most theistic evolutionists that should be enough. They usually just don't trust the bible, they know what it says, they just don't believe it. So you need to have them seek God and ask Him to revel it as His truth to them, you need to have them repent of their sin of doubting His word; and you can show them that this was in fact literally the oldest trick in the book . Satan's oldest trick was when he said to Eve "Did God really say you couldn't eat of any tree in the garden?" which did two things, first it was a distortion of what He said to make it sound ridiculous, and second it made Eve doubt God's word. Only when their heart is right should you start to show them hard evidence as to the bible's authenticity (which is another topic all together). Our job is to win people, not arguments.
We have to realize too that despite the fact that man jotted down what God said, the scripture is not an imperfect representation of mans thoughts on God, but scripture is what God said, not what man thought God said. In Timothy 3:16 it states all scripture is theopneustos (literally God breathed, not simply inspired as we used the term today). And off this topic there is evidence to support the idea that God even chose every letter.
Day Age Theory
Now to actually get to the biblical problems with Day Age theory. The rest of this assumes that the Bible is now being taken as inspired by God and we are only talking about interpretation. Again here first and foremost we need to be in agreement (us and the old earthers) to humble ourselves before God and invite the Spirit of Truth to lead us into understanding (see John 16:13), because it profits us nothing to lean on our own understanding.(see Proverbs 3:5) So they need to make a decision, is any amount of outside 'evidence' going to overthrow the scripture if you can prove what it says disagrees with their worldview? If the answer is ultimately yes then again this is pointless, there will always be a new argument or 'proof' to discredit scripture, eventually they all prove false, but if your going to be blown about by every wind of doctrine you are unstable at best.
There are entire ministries devoted to dealing with this area so I can only make a fairly basic overview, but I'll try to get as much as I can into this(I myself have started a book on this subject). One thing I don't hear people mention that I feel should be obvious is that in the Jewish Calendar the year is 5773, we have records as early as 150ad that they were reconciling this from the beginning of creation, it wasn't till much later that they started reconciling this as the creation of Adam.
Perhaps the most obvious is the fact that the days are numbered, and it makes a point of there being evening and morning. Now the jews didn't recon the days of the week like we do with names they do it by number after the pattern of creation week.(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar#Weeks ) . You'll note in Genesis 1:5 that God describes exactly what He means by day when He said: "God called the the light day and the darkness He called night and there was evening and there was morning day one". I find it interesting that instead of calling it "first day"(יום ראשון) as Sunday is called in hebrew(the other days being referred to as second day, third day ... as the rest of genesis 1 reads) He instead called it "Day one" Yom ehad(אֶחָֽד) setting it as unique not to be confused with any other first day(of the week), which is the same phrase He uses in Zechariah 14 to say there will be another "Day one" Yom Ehad in the future where there will be no more evening and no more morning, I think that's a beautiful symmetry to the start of time and the end of time. Now Hugh Ross spoke at my church and said that we could interpret evening and morning as being symbolic for the dawn of an age and the close of an age. But I checked, there is never a time in the hebrew of the Old Testament that evening and morning could mean anything like that. The other most obvious objection is the fact that God wrote in the Ten Commandments the reason for resting on the sabbath day was because In six days the Lord God made the heavens, the earth and the seas and all that is in them and on the seventh day He rested.
As well as changing the clear meaning of day in Genesis, old earthers also have to deny the flood as being a global event(if it was global all radio dating methods are automatically voided, as the strata don't represent age, taking away almost all of there "proof" the earth is old) and but what is often overlooked is the fact that they don't just have to believe the days in genesis were "Long periods of time" but they also have to have man on earth longer because of the 'evidence' that man has been around 60,000+ years. They generally do this by playing with the genealogies in Genesis 5 claiming that it's just an overview of notable generations, they are telescoped and the word begot just means that they became the patriarch of that family line. Two problems with that theory, 1. even old earth supporting Jews still recognize the creation of Adam as occurring 5773 years ago, and as I said that was no later than 150ab when they started using that, so they definitely did not interpret begat as starting family lines. and 2. Gleason Archer(Who co-wrote with Hugh Ross supporting the day age theory) wrote "However the statistics of Genesis 5 may be handled, they can hardly end up with a date for Adam much before 10,000 B.C." in his book entitled "Biblical Difficulties".
Geneses 7 is extremely precise in it's language. The whole earth and every mountain under the heavens were covered with water, and He blotted out every living thing from the face of the land. Gleason Archer(in Biblical Difficulties) agrees it was no local flood. There are plenty of specific claims as to why this was local, but if you just look up each one you'll see most of them are fictitious or disproven else where.
One of the other Gotcha verses for and old earth view, that I never see used, is Genesis 2:5-7 . Nothing green had grown on earth yet because man wasn't there, and it hadn't rained, then God created man.
I must leave now having much more to write, but I encourage you to seek the council of the Holy Spirit and search for the term "since the beginning" in the bible and see what interesting conclusions you can gather.

Are there any developers that offer themes that have a defined list of browsers tested, on desktop and mobile devices, that are also periodically updated to account for new browser versions?
New browser versions not only follow standards more closely but are very well coded for rendering almost anything. There are no real forward compatibility issues when it comes to styling (outside bugs).
Modern browsers can render garbage code as though it was written by Tim Berners-Lee. If a template works in IE6 and IE7 you can rest assured it will render in any versions above that since the vast majority of problems are related to Microsoft.
If you have specific needs (mobile, email, accessibility) there are various testing applications for rendering sites.
Okay, well, I've found http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress
Details on each theme include: Compatible browsers WordPress version Documentation detail Layout type Types of source files included Widget ready
Looks pretty good to me. Will give it a try.

The Hajj Terminal at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jiddah opened yesterday with scores of overseas flights arriving with thousands of pilgrims, the Arab News reported today.
The first to arrive at the terminal was an Air India flight with 166 pilgrims from India's northeastern city of Guwahati. In all, nine Indian Hajj flights arrived with 2,600 pilgrims.
A total of 168,000 pilgrims from India will perform the Hajj this year. An average of twelve flights per day will transport about 3,600 pilgrims from seventeen Indian cities until November 16.

I have the following code in place for a custom menu area:
$wp_nav_header = array(
'container' => '',
'menu_class' => 'sf-menu',
'fallback_cb' => 'wp_page_menu',
'theme_location' => 'primaryheader',
'depth' => 0,);
wp_nav_menu( $wp_nav_header);
It works fine when there is a menu in place, and outputs:

However, when it's falling back, it outputs:

Needless to say, this is throwing off my design as it's adding these classes (for which I have no styling) & stripping suckerfish , but makes my nav disappear (despite showing up in source).
Anybody encounter this before?
Thank you!

How to debug loading of store
I've gotten stuck on loading a store and am wondering how to debug the problem. If someone can see my mistake I'd be most grateful.
My app is trying to load a list from Google's RSS feed widget. I'm using the scripttag pattern to load the list's store. Things seem to flow as expected, but the store does not get loaded.
I can see the scripttag request being returned from the server with the expected data. The Chrome debugger reports trouble as:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined. Tracing the stack I see this is coming from this line in sencha-touch-debug-w-comments.js:
at Ext.data.Reader.Ext.extend.read which is seeing the response value of '0' at
result = reader.read(response)
Watching traffic with Fiddler I see in JSON view this, which looks as expected:
The raw text coming from the server starts like this:
stcCallback1001('0', {"feed":{"feedUrl":"http://www.mercycorps.org/blog/feed","title":"Mercy Corps blogs","link":"http://www.mercycorps.org/blog.html","author":"","description":"","type":"rss20","entries":[{"title":"Horror in the Horn of Africa: reflections and projections","link":"http://www.mercycorps.org/danoneill/blog/25255","author":"Dan O\u0026#39;Neill","publishedDate":"Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:01:45 -0700","contentSnippet":"\n\t\n\tSudan, 1984.

Hi again,
I hadn't seen a reply on this and thought it might be because my post was not clear enough. I updated it to include more detail. If anyone has an idea I'd really appreciate it.
3 Aug 2011 9:29 AM #3
I don't know how that script tag proxy works, but it seems to be some kind of jsonp callback. From your raw data, google is coming back with callback('0', {json: here}); I have a feeling your reader is getting the first argument ('0') instead of the second.
Sorry I don't know how to fix it, but I'm pretty sure that's the problem. Good luck
3 Aug 2011 6:12 PM #4
Awesome. Thanks for the pointer. The problem was that I was specifying a 'context' of '0' which was being sent back at the front of the response as you pointed out. When I removed that extraParam, the raw data was returned as follows. I adjusted the root for the proxy to be 'responseData.feed.entries' and all was good. Thanks!!

7 Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs Hidden in Famous Works of Art
Sure, if you look hard enough you're going to see bestiality, orgies and freakishly small penises in EVERYTHING.
But in the case of classic works of art, you're often right. Yes, as much as we mock Dan Brown around here, the one thing he's right about is that old-school artists like Michelangelo and Da Vinci loved to plant little "Easter Eggs" in their work, often things that would never have made it past the censors.
#7. The Floating Brain God
Michelangelo's ode to the Book of Genesis, The Creation of Adam, has endured not only as the most famous of the Sistine Chapel panels, but also one of the single most iconic images of humanity.
Note how Adam's pose mimics God's, how mankind is framed off from the Heavens by earth and mountains, and how God and his entourage are rolling around in a gigantic, floating brain.
Wait, What the Hell?
Look closely. It turns out that the figures of God, His angels and even the soon-to-be-created Eve under His arm form a nearly perfect cross-section of the human brain.
While some might dismiss this as a coincidence, experts suggest that it would be harder to explain that this was not Michelangelo's intention. Even complex components within the brain, such as the cerebellum, optic chiasm and pituitary gland can all be found in the picture. As for that sassy green sash running down the pons/spinal column/dude-holding-God-up, it follows the path of the vertebral artery perfectly.
Along with drawing, painting, sculpting, St. Peter's Basilica building and generally being among the universe's top bananas, Michelangelo counted cadaver dissecting as a favorite way to pass the time. He was so mad about corpse-cutting, in fact, that a friend once presented him with a perfectly formed dead Moor as a gift.
Digital Vision/Photodisc/Getty Images
According to historians, after receiving it his expression looked exactly like this.
So why would this immensely talented genius stick the actual shape of the human brain in the middle of what he had to know was a pretty major work? Was he cleverly suggesting that God was bestowing Adam with divine knowledge? Or was Michelangelo literally saying God was created inside the human brain? It would have been a pretty ballsy message to send while painting the Pope's house for him. Although, since body dismemberment wasn't a hugely popular hobby at the time, he probably knew this one would stay quiet for a while. Basically, it comes down to how big a dick Michelangelo was. Speaking of which ...
#6. David's Shrinkage
Michelangelo/Wikimedia Commons
Michelangelo was such a sneaky pimp that this list could have been written on his clandestine hijinks alone. Like Mr. T, his David is as much a triumph of human endeavor as it is an anatomical phenomenon. The precision of the human body captured by Michelangelo has been described as nothing short of spectacular.
Note the exaggerated head and pulsing veins on the dorsum of the hands, engorged with tension. Admire the curve of the taut torso, the flexing of the thigh muscles in the right leg and the prominence of the subject's heroic pen...
Michelangelo/Wikimedia Commons
Wait, What the Hell?
That's one disproportionately teeny wiener.
David's junk, which Italians affectionately refer to as his pisello, has become a bit of a running gag for the past 500 years. The statue towers over its audience at 13-feet of perfection, yet his five-inch wang (rounding up) puts him on the shorter end of the stick ... stick.
But a group of doctors have recently come in defense of the statue's tiny member. When viewed from a high angle--the view Michelangelo would have had as he chiseled away in his workshop--David has a stressed look on his face that's invisible from the ground level.
Michelangelo/Italian Renaissance
"Oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap."
He isn't just simply striking a pose; David is facing his opponent Goliath, the Jew-baiting GIANT. Researchers made a computerized scan of the sculpture as part of their study, and found that every minute, anatomical detail shows a guy scared out of his mind, but ready to pounce like a naked-assed Tyler Durden.
Their diagnosis: The dude's weasel isn't just hilariously tiny, it's running for cover. Which physiologically speaking, is normal penis behavior when the owner of said penis is on the verge of fighting a giant.
With apologies to Caravaggio
After victory is another story.
But since nobody from the ground level could see David's knitted, worrywart brow, everyone just assumed Michelangelo was being a wiseguy. Which would make sense, because dick jokes were as common in Renaissance Florence as they are at Cracked. What doesn't make sense is why Michelangelo left David's Hebrew wang uncircumcised. But that's the subject for next week's article, "The X Most Intriguing Questions Raised by These Close-Up Pictures of Dongs."
#5. A Secret Soundtrack
Leonardo da Vinci
All right, this is just weird as hell.
Michelangelo wasn't the only one having his sweet, sticky way with art during the Renaissance. But it really takes another genius of Michelangelo's caliber to up the sneaky ante to the next level. Enter Leonardo da Vinci.
No, he didn't pass on the secret history of the offspring of Christ through cryptograms or backwards crossword puzzle word searches or whatever. He just embedded a secret soundtrack into The Last Supper.
Wait, What the Hell?
Giovanni Maria Pala/Leonardo da Vinci
Those tasty dinner rolls scattered in The Last Supper may be the notes of a musical arrangement.
Actually, not just the bread, but the hands of Christ and the Apostles as well. One musician found that by drawing a five line musical staff across the painting, the hands and buns seem to line up as the notes of a pretty little composition. This is assuming, of course, that the notes are read from right to left, which was how da Vinci wrote. Don't believe us? Give this a listen.
Leonardo da Vinci/John Browne/The Eton Choirbook
Suck it, Dan Brown.
Even skeptics have acknowledged that the composition's harmony is too perfect to be a coincidence. Da Vinci was, after all, the full-on Renaissance Man embodied, and one of his many, many, many gifts was that of music.
But the madness doesn't just stop with the notes. The same guy who discovered the music also claimed the painting held clues to the rhythm of the song and the duration of each note. So, technically, the first album containing a secret message when played backwards was The Last Supper. How does that egg on your face feel, TIPPER GORE?
Giovanni Maria Pala/AP
And you thought The White Album was clever.
#4. Spot the Ass Shenanigans
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Despite many breakthroughs in art, architecture and philosophy, shit was still pretty real in Renaissance Europe. Even if you managed to survive your infancy, dodge the Black Plague, famine and the general hazards of going through life with your neighbor's feces getting dumped into your drinking water, you'd still probably be dead by age 35. It's no wonder so many Renaissance artists said, "Fuck it" and just painted Jesus and his mom.
Sandro Botticelli
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, however, wasn't having that cherub painting bullshit. This joker painted hardcore peasant life. And he didn't just paint a couple of people hanging out being all "medievally": he used his art to convey some pretty nasty butt-centered frolicking.
Wait, What the Hell?
Look close enough and you'll see a whole lot of ass.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Wait for it...
In Netherlandish Proverbs, Mr. Elder marries the frivolity of Where's Waldo with the batshit crazy of Salvador Dali by painting hundreds of literal interpretations of Netherlandish proverbs, which sounds boring until you realize how many of them were ass-based. The fact that they built whole proverbs around butts and all that they contain places the Dutch just behind the Asstecs in the Cracked Scale of Awesome Real or Made-up Nations poll.
So Bruegel took these phrases and painted them, and his audience would have immediately got the jokes. But they're lost on us because we don't often say things like:
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
"They both shit through the same hole."
Which means "They are in agreement." Obviously.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
"To fall from the ox onto the ass."
Interpretation: to fall on hard times. Cute, but not as clever as:
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
"To shit on the world."
Which means exactly what it sounds like: To hate everything. But you know what you should do if you really hate everything? This:
Pieter Bruegel the Elder
At least that's what we do when we want to treat something lightly. Wipe our poop on it.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar for $39.99
The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar is back in stock. Sure it's nine days into December, but who doesn't want a box full of tiny tie fighters, x-wings & Santa Yoda? Heck buy two. One for your collection, one for the desk. These special editions always go up. Check the Castle one from last year.
3 Comments add a comment
Weren't these like $28 a week or so ago?
$39.99 is the regular price on lego.com for the Star Wars Advent Calendar. It's amazing how much more people are willing to pay for legos on Amazon & eBay when they're often cheaper directly from lego!
My Walmart has this for $30 right now. So this isn't so good a deal.

How can one go about verifying the security and legitimacy of a web application before accessing it?
dhulk's answer has some good info, but I think those are secondary.
Let's start with some basics:
Is it running on https? Look in your address bar. If the url starts with https, then traffic to and from this app is encrypted.
Just because it's running on https doesn't guarantee that it's secure. The company (or person) who built the site has full access to any information that you send in.
Examine the certificate Double-click on the lock icon to see certification information (the position of the lock varies from browser to browser). Look at whom the certificate is issued to. If the name of the company doesn't seem familiar, do some google searches to figure out what the relationship is between the certificate holder and the service.
Look for a privacy policy. This should specify what they do with the information you give them. It doesn't guarantee that they'll obey their stated policy, of course.
Research its reputation. Do some google and twitter searches. Try things like "don't trust X" or "security of X" (where X is the service)
All in all, you're looking for a consistent picture that suggests that the operators of the site are up front and trustworthy. It's still no guarantee, but it's a great start before you divulge personal information.
What you're after may be a little difficult. However if you use Firefox there are a couple of things I do to protect myself from pages I haven't been before.
Firstly, I use the NoScript add-on for Firefox. It keeps Javascript from running on sites that you don't explicitly allow.
Second, I just came across this a few days ago, HTTPS Everywhere switches you to the HTTPS version of several sites which will offer you greater security. In addition to that you can add as many rule sets as you want so that any site you come across and want to use the HTTPS version (has to be available of course) you can.
Hope this helps.
Suggesting some non technical points you might want consider in addition to the safety measures mentioned by others. They do require you to use the site to some degree so you'll have to be prepared to view portions of the site, so if you're really worried you might want to take precautions first (no script, disabling cookies etc.).
While I wouldn't expect all of these to be always present (apart from the contact us page) - after all each site is different - I would expect some content for free.
You can never be 100% certain.
Different browsers can help you in different ways:
IE has several security features
As does Firefox
And Chrome too
All three have a feature which will detect possible mallware, phishing, out of date or bad certificates.
My primary concern is security, not so much legitimacy. Sometimes, a site is just so new, you're not going to find much about it.
For security, I would test whether the site prevents XSS, CSRF, directory traversal, buffer overflows, SQL injection, etc. There are various ways to test any of the above exploits, and any site that fails your test should be viewed with concern.
Install WOT or SiteAdvisor or look-up the site on their website. Go to the site's page and read the reviews.
