Peace Corps Master's International
Explore Our Peace Corps Opportunities
Program Coordinator: Carmen West, firstname.lastname@example.com
Master's International/Master of Public Health (MIP/MPH) students complete course work in global health at the School of Public Health Loma Linda campus. They then enter the Peace Corps in fulfillment of the master's field experience requirement.
The school confers a full tuition scholarship for the field experience in addition to benefits offered by the Peace Corps. Peace Corps volunteers complete three months of training in language, culture, and technical skills, followed by two years of service as public health workers in the assigned host country. Upon satisfactory completion of the two-year Peace Corps service, and the school's required master's paper, the student is awarded a master of public health degree in their respective major.
After completing the program, students may opt to return to international work while finding themselves fully qualified to secure employment in public health professions in the United States. Program graduates receive priority placement for U.S. government positions for one year after completion of Peace Corps service.
Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program
Students in the Coverdell Fellows program are returned Peace Corps volunteers who receive six units of tuition waiver in exchange for five to eight hours a week of local service in an area of designated need. In addition, the school grants full academic credit for the field practicum portion of the Master of Public Health degree, recognizing the value of the Peace Corps experience.
Coverdell Fellows at Loma Linda University have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of community outreach programs. Some have served with the LLU Community Action Partners (CAPS) in the Community Mothers Connection Program, Center for Health Disparities, and Office of Public Health Practice, United Way, and as teaching assistants for an integrated community development class.
Students in the Coverdell Fellows program may select from the following majors:
- Environmental and Occupational Health
- Global Health
- Health Policy and Management
- Health Education and Promotion
- Nutrition
To be eligible for admission, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and a GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale. All applicants must submit scores of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or equivalent graduate school entrance examination and demonstrate college-level conceptualization and writing skills.
If you are interested in opportunities with the Peace Corps through Loma Linda University School of Public Health, contact Carmen West at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Let $X,Y$ be normed vector spaces, X infinite dimensional. Can I find a linear map $T:X\rightarrow Y$ and a subset D of X such that D is dense in X, T is bounded in D (i.e. $\sup _{x\in D, x \neq 0} \frac{\|Tx\|}{\|x\|}<\infty $ but T is not bounded in X?
Matthew's answer reminded me of a fact that makes this easy: if $X$ is a normed space (say, over $\mathbb{R}$) and $f : X \to \mathbb{R}$ is a linear functional, then its kernel $\ker f$ is either closed or dense in $X$, depending on whether or not $f$ is continuous (i.e. bounded). The proof is trivial: $\ker f$ is a subspace of $X$ of codimension 1. Its closure is a subspace that contains it, so must either be $\ker f$ or $X$. And of course, a linear functional is continuous iff its kernel is closed. This is Proposition III.5.2-3 in Conway's A Course in Functional Analysis.
So let $f$ be an unbounded linear functional on $X$ (which one can always construct as in Matthew's example), and take $D = \ker f$. $D$ is dense by the above fact, and $f$ is identically zero on $D$.
Let $X$ be the space of real polynomials, normed as functions in $C[a,b]$. Here we want $0 < a < b$ fixed. Now define $T \colon X \to X$ so that $T(x^n) = 0$ if $n$ is even and $T(x^n) = nx^n$ if $n$ is odd. Then $T$ is unbounded, but it vanishes on the set of even polynomials. That set is dense by the Müntz-Szász theorem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCntz%E2%80%93Sz%C3%A1sz_theorem
I think I have NOT used the Axiom of Choice.
Take a dense linear subspace $Z$ of $X$ such that $X/Z$ is infinite-dimension (algebraically). Let $x_1,x_2,\ldots$ be a sequence of elements of $X$ whose images in $X/Z$ are linearly indepdendent. We can define a linear map on the algebraic span on $Z$ and the $x_j$ which is zero on $Z$ and satisfies $\|Tx_n\|=n\|x_n\|$. Extend this to all $X$ by Zorn's lemma. Then $T$ is zero on the dense space $Z$ but unbounded on $X$.
X is infinite-dimensional, so we can find $(e_n)$ a linearly independent sequence in X; let X' be the span. By rescaling, we can assume that $\|e_n\|=1$ for each n. Define $T:X'\rightarrow \mathbb R$ (or $\mathbb C$, or embed into Y if you wish) by $T(e_n) = n$ for each n. Clearly T is unbounded on X'.
For each finite sum $x=\sum_{n=1}^N x_n e_n$ and $\epsilon>0$, we can choose $a\in\mathbb R$ and $m$ very large with $|a|<\epsilon$ and $T(x) = -am$. Set $y=x+ae_m$, so $T(y)=T(x)+am=0$ and also $\|x-y\| = |a|<\epsilon$. Let D' be the collection of all such $y$; as such $x$ exhaust X', we certainly have that D' is dense in X'.
Use Zorn to extend $E=\{e_n\}$ to $E'$ a basis of X. Extend T to X by setting $T(x)=0$ for $x\in E' \setminus E$. Let $D = D' + \text{span}(E'\setminus E)$, so D is dense in X, and T is bounded on D; actually T vanishes on D.
Now, D is certainly not a subspace: if you want that as well, I don't know!
This is just to make Nate Eldridge's answer selfcontained.
For any normed vector space $V$ and any $r > 0$, write $V_r$ for the open ball of radius $r$ and center $0$ in $V$.
Let $X$ be a normed vector space, $Y$ a closed space, $Z$ the quotient, $\pi$ the canonical projection, $\tau$ the quotient topology, $\nu$ the topology on $Z$ induced by the quotient norm $$|\pi(x)|:=\inf_{y\in Y}|x+y|.$$
(It's easy to see that this is a norm.)
We claim $\tau=\nu$.
Both topologies are translation invariant.
The set $\{\pi(X_r)\ |\ r > 0\}$ is a basis for the $\tau$-neighborhoods of $0$ in $Z$.
The set $\{(Z_r)\ |\ r > 0\}$ is a basis for the $\nu$-neighborhoods of $0$ in $Z$.
As $\pi(X_r)=Z_r$, we're done.
No. Bounded means continuous, for linear operators. If a linear operator is bounded (continuous) on a dense subset, then you can extend it continuously to the whole space, which means it is bounded.

i personally think not
i personally think not
I don´t want to watch the games in 2-D anymore. It's a YES for me.
I think it is. Go figure.
Had some wonderful moments thus far, counter attacking end to end football. Personally think its top drawer.
The 3D is alot better than I feared it would be. Remember the first 2D engine (OMG what a piece of ....) I think the 3D is already acceptable, but in FM11 it will be great. It took a few versions to get the 2D acceptable and the 3D is already acceptable. It is a step forward and with some work it will be great.
I get a much better understanding of whats good and whats bad with my tactics watching the 3D than I did with the 2D in FM08. Haven't tried the 2D in 09 yet, probably never will!
i didnt expect the 3D to be amazing...i prefer to use the new 2D version, but 3D can be usefull at times!
3d YES!!! can do with out all the hassle installing for future tho
i think the 3d is amazing...i like seeing the goal again in 2d too see how that goal used to look to me
Resounding yes for me. I'm actually excited about watching EVERY game now whereas when we just had 2D I would simply skip some of the games I played against the "smaller teams". I just love being a goal down with seconds left and one of my players decides to belt the ball from 30 yards. It's a rush watching the ball curl toward the goal. Even better when it goes in
It has improved the game for me, its quality.
better for analysing tactics
I haven't played the Demo because I don't like to be teased and I know I'm already buying the game.
My question is how is it for people who watch the game in fast forward? I usually have it only on key and have it at near max speed. How does the 3D play in this regard. Is the animation in just one speed or you can speed it up to your liking?
The animations speed up when you move the speed bar. like you I watch a games key moments with the speed near full. the 3D engine is magnificent for keeping up with it.
Yes, 3D is been success. Grammar are not so success.
May I add my vote of confidence in the new 3D match engine. It is already good, but like a couple of people have already said it will only get better from here. I can't go back to the 2D engine - I am a 3D convert. Well done on that aspect SI
But I am having a real problem with the 3D match engine! Could it be because I am playing the game on a laptop with integrated graphics? It is an Intel 915GM integrated graphics! Does anyone have the same problem when they are playing the game with the above mentioned graphics??

In my high school and college math classes, I've always seen graphs drawn with either no arrows on the ends of the axes or with arrows on both ends.
A colleague recently argued with me that this was crazy and arrows are always placed on one side of each axis to indicate the positive direction. Like so:

Role of the Nurse Navigator in Cancer Treatment
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
My cancer center has a nurse navigator. What can she do to help me get through treatment (stage III Non small cell lung cancer)?
Linda Miller, RN, BSN, Oncology Nurse Navigator at Penn Medicine responds:
Each center functions a little differently in how their nurse navigator functions in relationship to the thoracic team. In general, a nurse navigator can help to connect a patient with the appropriate team members and facilitate appointments to help coordinate care. A navigator is very useful in connecting patients to appropriate resources as well as providing an additional layer of support to the patient and family while undergoing diagnosis, staging and treatment.

text: Hello, this is a tutorial on Tom Araya, singer and bassist for the band Slayer . If you're a fan of the band you may know that Slayer is part of the Big Four, the most badass thrash metal bands, along with Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth . Although the band has anti-theistic messages and ridicules religion , Tom Araya is actually catholic , yet he doesn't let the band's songs to affect his beliefs and vice versa . Which I thinks is admirable and worthy of respect . Tom is known for his ability to sing very fast and very loud ........and the scream the from "Angel of death" haha . Anyways, slayer fans, I hope you will enjoy this .

Our 3 year old has done a few things that were risky, e.g. she stood up on a chair with wheels to reach something. I explained that it is very dangerous and that she could fall. Her response - as has been with a few cases like this now - was "No, I don't fall." and my efforts to try to explain that she could fall don't seem to be working. Am I expecting too much at this age when I phrase things in the context of risk/chance/odds?
On an instinctual level very young children understand risk. What I've noticed in my son (under 2): fear of being burnt, fear of falling from a height, fear of being underwater, fear of scurrying insects, fear of unknown animals/people, and some small fear of the dark.
I think you are correct in thinking that young children don't know risk/chance/odds. Some adults know little of it as well. Maybe a reminder that certain behaviors might might result in getting hurt. Some phrases we use:
These are trying to associate behavior with pain and to teach language. Ouch and hot are so concrete that they communicate a lot. Fall, hurt, nice, and careful are harder.
There is also a thrill and joyfulness associated with being on the edge of fear. A sence of accomplishment when we overcome our fears. Finding our limits may require some amount of injury. We want our children to avoid all of the cuts, scrapes, and breaks possible but how are they going to learn to take risks if we always intervene. The article below talks a bit on this.
Can a playground be too safe? via New York Times
There are a range of dangers that seem to require a child to experience before they consciously understand risk. For example - fire. Children usually love to look at fire, and it warms them so they don't inherently fear it, which is a big worry for parents.
Our solution was to tell them it was sore, and then to let them reach towards the fire (while loosely holding their hand, long enough that they could feel it was sore, and then pull their hand back quickly, while stressing "OUCH!"
Each of them only needed that once - and never tried to go too near a fire again.

Little Monsters' guide: Important news for Lady Gaga's Cape Town gig
Tonight (Monday December, 3, 2012) is the night, Lady Gaga fans! Mother Monster is ready to shock and entertain you at the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point.
If you received your invitation to the Born This Way Ball with glee and booked your tickets months ago, there's little doubt that you are going to have a fabulous time, darling!
Before you rush off to Marry the Night with your favourite superstar and her opening acts Lady Starlight and The Darkness, let's run through a few important things you need to know:
1. Go dressed to impress: The Jozi fans were kitted out in their imaginative best for their meeting with the Queen of Weird so let us not look like the country cousins in comparison. Stuck for inspiration? Visit www.facebook.com/bigconcerts for ideas and for last minute costumes, pop into This Is Not a Post Office in Tamboerskloof or King Cake in Gardens.
2. Take some cash along: There will Gaga merchandise items on sale (from R50 to R1 000) so keep your moola on hand for your concert keepsake. Remember, there are no ATMs at the stadium so please draw your cash before the concert.
3. Don't be snappy happy: Strike a Gagalicious pose on the Fanwalk, by all means, but do note that you are not allowed, Paparazzi, under any circumstances to film or photograph the show.
4. Stay the night: Take the stress out of rushing home after the Ball and lay your weary ghoulish head down at one of the Mother City's top CBD accommodation spots.
Now, for the other, "really" important stuff…

Enfield firefighters were called out Wednesday morning (today) to a location near the WADI building.
Wind blew a TV antenna on to an electrical line at the Carl Cushman residence. Some neighbors gathered to help move the antenna but smelled smoke and called the fire department.
A fire department spokesman said firefighters discovered the short circuit caused some blown-in insulation in the attic to begin to smolder. The residence sustained smoke and water damage. Norris City firefighters were called for mutual aid.
A village backhoe had to clear a path for fire trucks to get out of their downtown Enfield building. The spokesman said if there is no necessity to get out, residents should stay indoors today.

Business Leader (1%er) Grateful for the OWS Protesters!
This is a transcript of a video made by businessman, Rinaldo Brutoco, President and Founder of the World Business Academy. The World Business Academy works to change the consciousness of business leaders, business students and the public at large to realign the values of business with the values of responsibility, commitment, service, authenticity, integrity, spirituality, trust and courage. Rinaldo is a 1%er, but has the vision and understanding that the course we are on, allowing the corporate elite run the politics of our country, is going to mean a country much different than the one our parents left us.
Corporatocrcy (corporate theocracy) must be put to rest now, before there is no way for individuals to do so. We must come together, stand up and make our voices, and our votes, make meaningful statements about who we are and what we believe. We have nothing to lose but our Democracy. Our children, on the other hand, have everything to lose, including the American Dream! Listen to what Rinaldo Brutoco says and then leave your Comment, telling us what YOU think about it!
"I was asked a couple of days ago if I'd be willing to record a message to Occupy Wall Street about Occupy Wall Street from somebody who's been very successful in the world of business.
As many of you know, my name is Rinaldo Brutoco, president and founder of the World Business Academy. One of the reasons I agreed to do this is because I am so grateful, and I believe all of the business community should be as well. I am so grateful for Occupy Wall Street.
What they have done is return the conversation to the issues that we need to discuss. They've returned the conversation to what's really important in this country and, frankly, for this economy.
So many of the people in the business community, you should know, are completely aware that what's gone on in the financial sector has been crazy; that it needs to be different is also clear. But more important than that, I think, is that the fundamental issue of Occupy Wall Street is economic justice, in the envelope of social justice.
So, it's not just about Wall Street, and it's not just about business. What it's about is the fact that we've decimated the middle class in America, and this economy doesn't work well when you do.
So, it's time for us to look at our priorities. And I would say, on behalf of the business community, and on behalf of the one percenters, of which I am a member: I am grateful that Occupy Wall Street is asking us to look at how do we fix the economy, which will benefit us all. It'll benefit the one percenters; it'll definitely benefit the business community. Why?
Because the US economy, and I would argue, the economy of the Western democracies, does not work without a vibrant middle class. We need to make it possible again in the United States of America and ultimately in other countries around the world where this isn't true – and in many countries in Europe it is true – where you can go through college and not come out deeply in debt.
Where you can go through that college no matter who your parents were if you have the ability to get there, and the college education you'll get will be second to none.
We need to make it possible again for people to feel reasonably safe that the next generation will have it as good or better than their generation.
We need to make it safe to own houses, to invest in stock markets that aren't gambling instruments.
We need to be able to feel safe again that we can create a society like we did after World War II, built on an enlightened egalitarianism, the sense that when we all did better, we all do better.
So, it's time now to drop the aristocratic pretensions that a few of us should be allowed to fly around in jets, a few of us should be up above the atmosphere of the pain, the sorrow and the toil going around among the middle and lower classes in America and other Western democracies.
It's time for us to stop the silly conversation about deficits because at this stage they don't matter – jobs do.
And it's time for us once again to join hands and join hearts and realize that what we do for each other, in fact, we do for ourselves.
You know, as it was said a long time ago by the poet John Donne: "Do not ask for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." In the United States and Western democracies' economies, the middle class being driven to the point of fear, concern, and, at this point, I would say, a pervasive sense of foreboding, to that middle class it's time to say: "We get it. The bell's tolling for us, too. We will all be better off."
And I'll leave you with just this one last thought: the highest history of deficit ever to Gross National Product (GNP) in the history of the United States was recorded in 1946. It was so high that no one could conceive of how we'd ever pay the debt off. And what happened from 1946 to 1966 is, we experienced the greatest economic miracle of all time. In the process of doing it, the debt shrank as a percentage of GNP without anybody having to do anything at all except enjoy the fruits of a society that actually was equal and fair.
It's time for us to return to that society again, and when we do, we'll create wealth at every level that we've never, ever seen before. And we'll find that all the that choices we thought were trade-offs really aren't. Because at the end of the day we do not live an economy of scarcity where it hurts me to help you. We live in an economy of abundance, where the better you do, the better I do.
And at this point, I'm all for all of us doing better.
Thanks very much for listening, and I wish you all the best of luck on Wall Street and all the other Occupy movements around the globe.
Thank you."

I regret making that GT... Honestly freaking do
You should have it at a set time on Thursday too. Maybe like an hour or so before kickoff vs the Colts? That way everybody will have a fair chance on who they would like to rep this year.
Just an idea
I know you usually set this up, but I was just curious if we were going to do a 2014 Adopt-a-Jet this year?
hey man, can you add a poll to the Pryor thread?
Was thinking of starting a what would you do thread to get opinions on who posters would and would not draft when the Jets are actively on the clock.
Good idea or too repetitive with the usual draft discussions?
Enjoy your vacation Clay. If you need someone to watch over the Jets forum, I'm usually not too busy at work in the afternoons and can check in.
Thought so. Wanted to make sure I wasn't insane.
What is your sig?
I think I'm doing the threads, I have it done but I don't know when the appropriate time to post it is. Wondering if you can help me with that?

News Release (Back to Menu)
Constitutional Litigation Clinic Examines E-Voting in Wake of Superstorm Sandy
The Rutgers School of Law–Newark Constitutional Litigation Clinic has served Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests to New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno's office and to all 21 New Jersey counties for information about the processing of ballots of voters displaced by Superstorm Sandy. The clinic seeks to determine whether any voters were disenfranchised on Election Day because of Internet voting and the confusion caused by emergency voting directives. Candidates are concerned as well. At least 75 elections still hinge on votes cast by displaced voters.
In the wake of the storm, Lt. Gov. Guadagno issued a directive allowing displaced voters to vote by fax, email, and through the Internet. "Although emergency action was warranted, Internet and email voting was not the solution," said Clinical Professor Penny Venetis, co-director of the Constitutional Litigation Clinic. "New Jersey law does not permit Internet voting."
Additionally, in Gusciora v. Christie (2010), Judge Linda Feinberg ruled that "connecting an election-related computer to the Internet at any point is inappropriate," and ordered the State to disconnect all voting machines from the Internet. New York, which like New Jersey suffered serious devastation in Sandy's wake, declined to incorporate Internet voting in its emergency voting measures, citing security concerns.
Lt. Gov. Guadagno's directive on Internet voting alarmed computer scientists, lawyers and citizens groups concerned about the security and protection of the vote. Professor Andrew Appel, the chair of Princeton University's Computer Science Department who is an expert in computer security, has stated that "experts agree that Internet voting is insecure, and that email voting is the most insecure form of Internet voting."
While New Jersey law allows military personnel stationed overseas to vote via the Internet, it expressly requires a hard paper copy of the ballot to be mailed along with the electronic ballot. The lieutenant governor's Superstorm Sandy directive did not incorporate that important aspect of New Jersey's overseas voting law. Said Professor Venetis: "Without the paper ballot to protect the integrity of the vote, the voting process does not follow the rules for overseas voting and leaves displaced voters with the most insecure method of Internet voting."
Princeton Professor Appel stated: "Email is completely untrustworthy and insecure unless it's backed up by a paper ballot that the voter signs and mails in and that is the ballot of record." Although a spokesperson for the lieutenant governor stated that the paper ballot was a requirement in the directive, his announcement occurred was very late on Election Day. Furthermore, media reports indicate that many county clerks and county election officials charged with counting votes are still not aware of this requirement.
In addition to posing security risks, the Election Day Internet voting directive resulted in chaos at county clerk's offices in New Jersey. Election officials were unable to keep up with the demand for ballots, as voters' unanswered requests for ballots inundated voicemails and inboxes.

New version available!
Hi, everybody!
I am extremely happy to announce a new version for this extremely easy to use integration of PHP with ExtJS.
You can download it from the opening post of this thread.
We do not have many changes. In fact, there are three:
2) Comments were revised, fixed and improved. We had a few "documentation bugs" in the comments. Now they are gone. I think I have corrected all of them.
3) The main change is the new constructor_params configuration, a feature recently requested. See how to use it in the example below:
PHP Code:
require 'ExtDirect.php';
class Server
public function __construct( $pretext )
$this->pretext = $pretext;
public function date( $format )
return $this->pretext . date( $format );
ExtDirect::$constructor_params = array(
'Server' => array( 'The current server date is ' )
ExtDirect::provide( 'Server' );
The constructor_params configuration must be an array, where the keys are the class names and the values are the parameters to be passed to the corresponding constructor (it must be an array also).
11 Nov 2011 2:07 AM #73
Thank you! I will test it asap!
11 Jan 2012 2:02 AM #74
Nice class man, but as i can see parameter enableBuffer again absent in new release.
can u back it in next updates?
thanks in advance.
12 Jan 2012 4:42 AM #75
Hi j.bruni!
First of all, thanks so much for this package! It's saved so much time.
Second, I have been using it with the charts module and have uncovered a potential problem :
The JSON data always returns table data as strings from the proxy, even if it's marked as an integer in the db. Obviously this broke the charts. I have seen many people on forums having the issue that their charts wouldn't work using a direct proxy, so I'm guessing that this might be an Ext problem instead of relating to your code.
Anyway, as a temporary fix I modified lines 621 & 623 so that the json_encode functions included the JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK flag.
Of course, this isn't ideal as it will force ALL number values to be send as integers, when a string may actually be desired.
Was wondering what your thought were on this?
22 Jan 2012 4:06 AM #76
enableBuffer parameter has never been available, there is no way to bring it back.
I thought on creating some caching mechanism but never implemented it. IMO, the "cost/benefit" does not worth. It is the first time someone requests it. (If I understood correctly what you meant.)
22 Jan 2012 5:44 AM #77
In my point of view, the "potential problem" is not exactly an Ext/JSON issue, but a database issue.
Every data returned from SQL queries is always of string type. The only exception is the null value, which returns as null. Everything else is string, it does not matter the type of the data in the database. A date column, or an integer column... the database query results always arrive in the PHP side as strings.
Also, consider that we can satisfy Ext Data Charts needs of integer values, but will not be able to send JavaScript Date objects, for example, using pure JSON, without any extra processing at the client-side...
So, my approach is: in my server-side app code, I use an intermediary "parse" function which transforms each row of the database result into something ready-to-use for the client side. Something like:
function parse_rows($original_result) { $parsed_result = array(); foreach($original_result as $row) { $row['quantity'] = intval($row['quantity']); $row['price'] = floatval($row['price']); $parsed_result[] = $row; } return $parsed_result; }
I think this is where the solution should be focused... not at client-side or the JSON encoding. This is my opinion.
22 Jan 2012 8:59 AM #78
Automatically determining data types
I completely agree that the solution should be at the server side.
However in terms of your solution, consider this situation:
You have an application that draws data from multiple tables that are designed to provide data 'as is' with no custom processing required. Of course, these tables all have varying column names.
To avoid code replication you have built a generic crud interface to handle these tables and wish to use this interface in future projects.
In this situation, processing strings into integers on a per table basis is not viable as the read method will not know which columns to convert. The only place the data types are defined will be in the ext models themselves.
In my opinion, it would make sense for the data types to be sent along with request and used by the read method to determine how to process the rows.
Of course, the drawback is that this would require overriding the ext core (unless I'm missing something vital).
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this, no doubt to tell me where I've gone wrong
14 Mar 2012 7:42 AM #79
So ... how do one use this with Ext.direct?
// so I'm inside either onReady or launch if I'm using
// I do this
var provider = new Ext.direct.PollingProvider({
url: <The path to your php script>
Ext.direct.Manager.addProvider( provider );
alert( Server.date() );
// would this work?
29 Apr 2012 2:19 AM #80alert( Server.date() );
// would this work?
PHP Code:
Ext.php.Server.date( 'Y-m-d', function(result){ alert( 'Server date is ' + result );
} ); } );

I have multiple questions
For Oracle Database 11g Release 22.214.171.124.0
what are the benefits of using CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE_SIZE and RESULT_CACHE_MODE. How will the CLIENT side cache be kept sync if data changes at server side.
Do we have a AUTO mode for RESULT_CACHE_MODE? What is the recommended mode for this?
If i execute a single query 10 times with CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE enabled will the query be run 10 times at the server?
Please point me towards any documentation regarding this.Thanks in advance

Season Outlook: SoftballJanuary 22, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – One year removed from the program's first 40-win season, the 2014 edition of Anderson University softball enters the year with the goal of capturing its' first-ever South Atlantic Conference regular-season championship and league title.
Ninth-year head coach Tommy Hewitt guided the Trojans to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament a year ago and a No. 12 national ranking in the final National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll. This year's squad features nine returning letterwinners, including eight starters and five seniors from last year's team that earned a berth in the Savannah Super Regional.
Hewitt will need to fill the void left by two departed pitchers, Lauren Bell and Bailey Smith, who combined for a 3.38 ERA and 10 shutouts in the circle a season ago. But the veteran squad possesses a wealth of experience, both offensively and defensively, and has notched 100 victories since joining the South Atlantic Conference three seasons ago. One of the strengths of the team lies in its experience – the seniors on this year's team have combined to start nearly 600 contests over their three-year careers.
At the plate, the Trojans ranked in the top 25 nationally in five offensive categories, while setting a new school record with 58 home runs and ranked 15th nationally with their .326 team batting average. AU was also eighth in the NCAA in runs scored, while ranking 10th in triples. The Trojans' 499 hits on the season ranks seventh all-time in the league record books and their patience at the plate showed dividends, as their 229 walks led the SAC.
The Trojans crossed the plate 356 times last season compared to scoring 303 runs in 2012, which Hewitt attributes to the additional free passes.
"I want our players to understand that those walks are hits," he said, while adding that he places a high value on a team's on-base percentage because it includes those walks.
"Our team attitude has been great," said Hewitt. "The players' attitudes are really, really good and they are working hard in the preseason. Our five seniors are looked up to by the underclassmen as well and I cannot say enough about this group of senior leaders."
Hewitt doesn't believe lofty expectations will adversely affect his veteran squad.
"We don't feel any more pressure now than in the past," concluded Hewitt. "Our goal every year is the same – win the conference title and go as far as we possibly can."
With the addition of a pair of talented freshmen hurlers in Lauren Rudesheim and Augie Pena, along with junior transfer Katelynn Howser, Hewitt likes his pitching staff.
"I feel really good about all of our pitchers," added Hewitt. "I believe we have two of the best freshmen pitchers around. Katelynn [Howser], a transfer from South Carolina, is also very strong and talented. They all played really well last fall and it's going to be a dogfight among the pitchers."
Pena, a freshman from Geneva, Ala., will battle for time in the circle after posting an impressive 48-22 record over her last two prep seasons, with a 1.51 earned run average. The right-hander recorded 510 strikeouts to help lead her high school squad to a pair of top-three finishes in the state of Alabama.
"Augie was considered one of the top pitchers in Alabama," noted Hewitt. "We were really fortunate to get her. She has been working really hard. Every time she steps on the field she works hard."
Fellow newcomer Lauren Rudesheim is "like a surgeon with a knife, said Hewitt. "She can put her pitches where she wants them. Lauren has real good movement on the ball, knows where to throw it and has good command of six or seven pitches.
Rudesheim will compete for a starting spot following a stellar prep career at Pacelli High School in Columbus, Ga. The right-handed hurler posted a 15-7 record with a 1.10 ERA for the Vikings her senior season and earned Region Pitcher of the Year accolades after recording 185 strikeouts in 139 innings and was named All-Region and All-West Georgia four times.
Howser, a transfer from South Carolina, battled though injuries during her second season with the Gamecocks, appearing in 13 games, with six starts. She went 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA. During her rookie campaign, Howser led the team with eight wins, 129 2/3 innings and 91 strikeouts.
"Katelyn was injured a good part of last year at USC," said Hewitt. "She is a power pitcher and has really good movement. She knows what she's doing in the circle and she's all about business when she gets in there."
Senior catcher Laura Jansky is a three-year starter behind the dish who hit .300 as a junior last season. She earned SAC Player of the Week accolades in mid-March and finished third in the conference with 45 RBI and 10th in the league with seven home runs. Jansky recorded an eight-game hitting streak and notched 12 multi-hit games in 2013.
"Laura has to be one of the better catchers in the conference," noted Hewitt. "Everyone respects her arm defensively and her stick is strong. Her work ethic over the fall period and Christmas holidays was great."
Senior Carly Hudson will also see time behind the plate after playing in 13 contests a year ago.
"Carly has a strong arm and has been working hard on her hitting," added Hewitt. "Her attitude is great and she will play an important role on this team."
First-team All-South Atlantic Conference selection and Honorable Mention All-American Danielle Swygert returns at first base for her senior campaign after finishing in the top seven in the league in seven offensive categories, including third in the conference with a .398 batting average and second in RBI. Swygert recorded 24 multi-hit games and drove in at least three runs on 11 occasions last season.
"It goes back to Danielle," added Hewitt. "She has been a mainstay since she's been here and has gotten stronger every year. She had a terrific season a year ago and I believe she'll have an even better season this year. She has a good stick and great claw and I cannot say enough about her attitude. She's a senior leader."
Junior First-Team All-America selection Jessica Neidigh, who was 10th in the nation in triples per contest a year ago, eighth in runs scored and 15th nationally with her .457 batting average, is back at second base. She set the school record and led the league with 90 base hits, while notching 29 multi-hit games and recorded a team-high 17-game hitting streak. Neidigh was third in the conference with a .670 slugging percentage and displayed her savvy on the basepaths, going 20-for-21 in stolen bases.
"Jess is amazing," said Hewitt. "She led the league in hitting. She came out of high school playing shortstop, moved to second base for us and she can flat play it."
Senior Abby Child, who was second in the nation in walks per game last season, is back at shortstop after ranking 15th in the league with her .329 batting average. Child has started every game over the three-year span and currently ranks second in the school record books with 32 home runs and third with 118 runs scored. Child finished third in the conference with 45 RBI last season, fifth in the league with nine home runs and fifth in the conference with 43 runs scored.
"Abby is another player that I cannot say enough about," noted Hewitt. "I don't think she's missed a game. She is in good shape and has a great mental attitude. Abby really knows the game well, has good range defensively and has a power stick. I expect this to be her best year yet."
Bri Cason, who returns at the hot corner "sometimes gets overlooked around the conference at third base," said Hewitt. "She sticks her nose in there. She's tough and she hits well. She has to be the best third baseman in the conference."
Cason recorded a .305 batting average a year ago and tied for 17th in the league with nine doubles. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native posted a six-game hitting streak and two five-game hitting streaks, while notching 12 multi-hit games and was third on the team with 26 walks.
Junior Rebecca Martin, an Anderson, S.C. native, started 27 contests for the Trojans a year ago and notched 14 hits, including a double and a triple. She scored 11 runs and added seven walks on the season.
"Rebecca came back this year with a different attitude than in the past," noted Hewitt. "She has a really good attitude. She has always worked hard, but this year she has a different determination about what she's going to do and how she's going to get it done. She taking extra swings in practice and has great attitude."
Senior Charlotte Sieber saw action in 38 games in 2013, and was fourth on the team with a .333 batting average. She recorded 26 hits and drove in 19 runs while starting 30 contests.
"Charlotte is as consistent as anyone we have on the team," added Hewitt. "Her hitting is consistent, she has a winning attitude and nothing fazes her. She's getting after it and working hard."
An All-South Atlantic Conference performer last season, center fielder Molly Child is the lone sophomore on this year's roster. She finished third on the team and 13th in the league with a .335 batting average and posted a 14-game hitting streak last February, while ranking in the top-seven in the SAC in six additional offensive categories.
"Molly hit extremely well last season," said Hewitt. But I think she's still learning at the plate and once she gets more experience at the plate she will be at the top of the conference in batting average and home runs."
Freshman Courtney Czentnar will join the veterans in the outfield after earning All-County, All-Region and All-State honors while playing at Greater Atlanta Christian. She recorded an impressive .621 batting average and hit .782 with runners in scoring position during her senior season. Czentnar posted a slugging percentage of 1.241, while blasting seven home runs and had an on-base percentage of .689 with the Spartans.
"I'm not taking anything away from our other freshmen when I say I expect Courtney to be in the running for Freshman of the Year, added Hewitt. "That's the kind of player she is and how talented she is. She has a strong arm and is working hard. Once she gets some experience she's going to hit the ball really well - for average as well as power."
The Trojans' 2014 slate will consist of a 50-game schedule, including 22 SAC contests, and will include matchups against Chowan, Georgia College, Lenoir-Rhyne, and Wingate, each of whom reached the postseason.
"This may be the toughest schedule we've had since I've been here," said Hewitt.
The Trojans open their 2014 slate with back-to-back Conference Carolinas opponents, welcoming Lees-McRae to Smethers Field on Sunday, Feb. 2. First-pitch versus the Bobcats is set for 1 p.m.

Initially I started learning OOP and later started grasping concepts of Design Patterns. I wonder whether it is the Design Pattern which is the SuperSet of OOP or it is the OOP itself.

Design patterns are just constructs to simplify communication about programming by providing a common lexicon for common code layouts (or paradigms or models or ...)
I can (and have!) write a facade or a singleton in a non-OO language.
Some have argued that design patterns are just ways to make up for feature deficiencies within the core language itself. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it does help keep design patterns in their proper perspective. They're just another tool to aid in communication and design; they don't belong up on a pedestal to be worshipped.
It is possible to program in an object oriented language without using any established design patterns, but it is not possible to use object oriented design patterns in non object oriented languages. Ergo, I'd say design patterns are a subset of OOP inasmuch as this categorization makes sense.


text: Okay folks, after making lessons that I wasn't interested in, I decided to go all out and make some tuts based on some things I actually like. To start, here is "how to draw skulls", step by step. The idea for these two skull heads which form a heart actually came from one of those tattoo gumball machines. Of course the skulls from the temp tattoo didn't look anything like what you see here, what I used was how the two skull heads face each other in a loving way. The spines make the heads form a heart, and then the etches on the skull heads makes everything come together. I do hope you have fun drawing skulls, I will be back with some other cool tuts.

Carrot Coconut Muffins RecipeCarrot Coconut Muffins
Under 200 calories per serving and a good source of fiber, these filling muffins make a great on-the-go breakfast. This recipe uses fresh, sweet dates and shredded carrots to cut down on the amount of added sugar. Unsweetened applesauce eliminates the need for oil while keeping them tender and delicious.
Tips for the cook: The coconut topping goes well with the carrot, but it is optional. You can bake the muffins with no topping at all, or substitute the coconut with heart-healthy walnuts or sunflower seeds for crunch.
Yield: 6 muffins
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
- 10 fresh dates (such as Medjool dates)
- 1 cup shredded carrot (about 2 small carrots)
- ¼ cup raw sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
- 2 tbsp raw sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 6-muffin baking pan, or half of a 12-muffin pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the dates to a small food processor and pulse until finely chopped. You can also chop them finely with a knife. Add the dates to a large mixing bowl.
- To the mixing bowl, add the carrots and the raw sugar. Stir the mixture, breaking up the dates so that they are evenly distributed throughout the shredded carrot. Stir in the egg and applesauce, mix well. Add the vanilla.
- Next, stir in the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until the ingredients are combined. Slowly stir in the flour, just until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin pan. Fill each of 6 muffin slots with about ½ cup of the batter.
- In a small bowl, stir together the coconut, sugar, and cinnamon. Top each muffin with about 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Gently press it into the batter so that it sticks to the muffin top as it bakes.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. If necessary, slide a knife gently around the outside edge of each muffin to loosen it, and then remove the muffins from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Clapp Distinguished Public Service Professor of Law, has taught and mentored thousands of students; helped introduce interdisciplinary scholarship to the law school; co-directed well-respected initiatives on advancing education quality; been a key participant in landmark litigation; written and lectured extensively; consulted for national, regional, and state organizations and agencies; and, in his spare time, pursued a passion for long-distance bicycling.
|As one of his Centennial Seminar students looks on, Professor Paul Tractenberg discusses that day's special seminar program on "Celebrating a 100-Year Tradition of Diversity: Reflections on Its Success" with (l-r) Emerita Professor Annamay Sheppard '58; and program speakers Ann Lesk '77, partner in Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP; Alberto Rivas '85, now a Superior Court judge and at the time a member of Lite DePalma Greenberg & Rivas, LLC; and Yvonne Smith Segars '84, New Jersey Public Defender.
Given those experiences, at age 71 Tractenberg might have been expected to scale back his academic activities, leisurely reflect on the successes of the past four decades, and enjoy easy rides through the parks near his Essex County home. Instead, during the 2008-2009 academic year, in addition to his teaching obligations and committee work, he chose to play a leading role both in assuring that the law school's Centennial celebration fully highlighted some of its signature accomplishments and in memorializing them in two upcoming books. To his responsibilities as co-director of the interdisciplinary Institute on Education Law and Policy, he added co-directorship of the Newark Schools Research Collaborative. Asked to serve on the Council on Educational Equity and Diversity, a new advisory group convened by the state Department of Education, the law professor described by the New Jersey Law Journal as "New Jersey's education law dean" readily agreed. Concerned about the fiscal problems facing the state and, by extension, the law school, he offered to compile data and generate ideas to help Dean John Farmer identify new ways of addressing its resource challenges.
This spring, Tractenberg will see the result of one of his efforts – the publication of Opening a Thousand Doors: A Centennial History of Rutgers School of Law–Newark (The History Press, 2010). The book was conceived and some first drafts were written by students in the Centennial Seminar, which Tractenberg developed and taught. As part of its curriculum, the year-long seminar sponsored a program in fall 2008 celebrating the school's commitment to racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender diversity, and a second program in spring 2009 featuring the school's equally strong commitment to public service, law reform, and social justice.
About these programs, Tractenberg said, "In true Rutgers Law School spirit, they dramatized our longstanding commitments by bringing back some of our most successful and influential faculty and alumni to testify to the great contributions the school has made to their professional and personal lives.
"Imagine opening the fall diversity program," he continued, "with speakers such as former faculty member Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez '79, and Wade Henderson '73, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and Human Rights. From start to finish, that program brought to vivid life what Rutgers Law School's commitment to diversity has accomplished – nothing short of changing the face of the legal profession. The spring program did much the same with regard to another signal accomplishment of the school – making real the importance of public service, law reform and social justice to every graduate whatever his or her career path."
Opening a Thousand Doors describes, with fondness and honesty, the triumphs and challenges of the law school's first 100 years and concludes with a discussion of some of the issues that face the current leadership. One theme that emerges is the extent to which Rutgers has provided an opportunity to many who otherwise would not have had access to a high-quality legal education. The book takes its title from an interview Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren '76, chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the $700 billion of TARP funding, gave to the Star-Ledger(June 21, 2009) in which she expressed her appreciation to Rutgers Law School which "took a poor kid from Oklahoma and kicked open a thousand doors for me." After reading the manuscript, Warren offered the following testimonial, which will appear on the book's back cover:
"Opening a Thousand Doors is a lively chronicle and thoughtful social history, but most of all, it is a great mystery whose next chapter is still in draft. What happens to Rutgers Law is an important question for all of us who love The People's Electric Law School – and an equally important question for everyone who thinks seriously about the future of education in reshaping both lawyers and laws."
Later this year Tractenberg will welcome the publication by Rutgers University Press of New Jersey Goes A-Courting: 10 Legal Cases That Shook the Nation, his second book growing out of the Centennial celebration. Most of the cases have a major Rutgers Law School imprint, including Abbott v. Burke, the landmark public education funding litigation in which he has played an integral role. Tractenberg is writing the chapter on that case, as well as an introduction and conclusion, and is editing the book. Awarded a prestigious scholarly residency fellowship at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in Italy this past summer, he worked on the Abbott v. Burke chapter and the centennial book while overlooking Lake Como.
Improving urban education has been Tractenberg's central interest since he joined Rutgers in 1970. Over the years that focus has expanded from advocacy, teaching, and scholarship to applied research on education law and policy. In 2000 he became founding director of the Rutgers–Newark interdisciplinary Institute on Education Law and Policy. IELP research promotes informed discussion on issues ranging from school choice, to managing educational data, to reestablishing local control in state-operated school districts, to replicating excellent urban schools, to school governance and mayoral control. Its reports provide authoritative, balanced perspectives that have attracted a national audience.
As an outgrowth of his work with the Institute, Tractenberg and IELP co-director Alan R. Sadovnik, Rutgers–Newark professor of education, sociology and public affairs, are co-directors of the Newark Schools Research Collaborative (NSRC). This collaboration between the Newark Public Schools District and Rutgers–Newark will spawn a mid- to long-term research agenda of projects designed to improve student achievement and school effectiveness in Newark's district schools and public charter schools. NSRC's mission is three-fold: to provide independent and objective research about what works in the Newark schools; to create and apply data essential to improving student academic achievement; and to foster a collaborative research culture among universities, the district and community stakeholders. The program is partially modeled after the nationally-recognized Consortium on Chicago School Research, a partnership between the Chicago public schools and the University of Chicago.
"We are excited about bringing the research capacity of Rutgers–Newark and other area universities to bear on Newark's educational challenges. This is community service of the highest order, a win-win for all concerned."
Tractenberg said of NSRC that "with operating funding already assured from the Victoria Foundation and the Newark Charter School Fund, and with a major Ford Foundation grant in process, the present and future look secure. We are excited about bringing the research capacity of Rutgers–Newark and other area universities to bear on Newark's educational challenges. This is community service of the highest order, a win-win for all concerned."
Having overseen the writing of its centennial history, Tractenberg is well-aware that Rutgers Law School is again facing challenging times and optimistic that, as it has in the past, the school will overcome those challenges. A growing entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrated by his efforts through IELP and NSRC and by the launch of a continuing education program, will help add to the school's resources. Tractenberg said, with great confidence, that "as Rutgers Law School refashions itself to meet its challenges, it will hold true to its core commitments to diversity, public service, and professional excellence for all its students."
As for that easy pedaling along the local bike path? Perhaps next year. In May, Tractenberg is planning a one-day, 100-mile bicycle ride to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut for his 50th college reunion. Not surprisingly, he's using it as a vehicle to raise money for two favorite causes — the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, to which his 16-year experience with non-Hodgkins lymphoma has given him a special connection, and Wesleyan's scholarship fund for disadvantaged students.
When asked if he was thinking about slowing down, Tractenberg said that his wife of 32 years, Neimah, predicted that, if he retired, he'd find ways to keep just as busy. For himself, looking back over his career, Tractenberg said that "persistence is probably my greatest strength. I agree with the outstanding legal scholar Woody Allen that 80 percent of success is showing up. And I plan to keep showing up."

BRIDGEPORT - Demolition on a row of burned-out buildings on Main Street in the village came to a halt Wednesday when an issue arose.
According to the owner of the buildings, Michael Shaheen, he hired a reputable company to raze the buildings, which were destroyed by a St. Patrick's Day fire that tragically claimed the lives of three young children and severely injured their parents.
However, Bridgeport village officials had the work stopped Wednesday due to safety issues.

A PORTION of a row of buildings on Main Street in downtown Bridgeport have begun to be razed. Demolition work was halted Wednesday, but is expected to resume today.
T-L Photo/KIM NORTH
"I hired a company that is certified in most major cities in Ohio," Shaheen said. "The mayor was displeased with the way the company was loading the materials. We came to an agreement and work should continue."
Shaheen said the work should be completed in 3-4 days.
Attempts to reach Bridgeport Mayor John Callarik this morning were unsuccessful before The Times Leader went to press.

6 'Facts' About Historic Figures (Their Enemies Made Up)
#3. Ms. O'Leary's Cow Burned Down Chicago
Every school kid knows this story. It's one of those bizarre, seemingly inconsequential accidents that leads to disaster.
On October 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire turned huge swaths of the city into charcoal briquettes, killing about 300 people in the process. And the whole thing began when Ms. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern, setting the barn ablaze and lighting the fuse on what was apparently the world's most flammable city.
It was the Chicago Tribune that reported the blaze began in the barn of Irish immigrant Catherine O'Leary, when the aforementioned cow kicked over a lantern while she was milking it.
O'Leary countered that she had been asleep that evening, but given that she was an Irish Catholic lass living in 1871, nobody gave a fuck what she said. O'Leary was a pariah for the rest of her days. Passers-by would insult her and spit on her until she died in 1895, sad and saliva-soaked.
But how did the Chicago Tribune know O'Leary was responsible? Don't fire investigations take months to complete since, you know, everything is in ashes?
Short answer: No.
Well, journalistic standards were a tad more lax back in the day, and the cow anecdote made for a cute, Irish-bashing story, so the Tribune just made the whole thing up.
Specifically, Tribune reporter Michael Ahern, who quickly came forward and admitted that it was all fiction and that everyone should stop spitting on her. And by "quickly" we mean 22 years later, long after the story was ingrained in popular culture and Ms. O'Leary's life had been ruined.
Yeah, compared to the newspapers of the 19th century, this here website is the goddamn Economist.
#2. Clara Bow Fucked a Dog
In the Roaring 20s, actress Clara Bow was the sex icon for the flapper generation. She danced, partied and canoodled with actors such as John Wayne and Bela Lugosi. You know someone's big time when she's diddling both the Duke and Dracula.
The Coast Reporter, an L.A. rumor rag, figured that if Clara was profiting from her flirty image, then they might as well cash in too. In 1931, the tabloid ran a hit piece detailing Clara's fondness for public sex, threesomes with prostitutes and, oh yeah, fornicating with dogs.
"I am in public with a dog. This covers two of my fetishes. Hopefully this dog is also a prostitute."
The Coast Reporter followed this with a three-week series on Bow's perverted lifestyle and even published such charming lines as, "You know, Clara, you'd be better off killing yourself."
Authorities discovered that the publisher of the Coast Reporter had fabricated these lurid tales to blackmail Bow out of $25,000 (and you thought the Tribune's standards were low).
The damage to Bow's career was catastrophic. The public and her studio no longer considered her an independent, sexually liberated woman--they saw her as a dog boner.
You know, like Megan Fox. And we'll run the rest of the photos unless we get 25 billion dollars.
#1. Hitler, the One-Nut Dictator
In 1939, Adolf Hitler became the ultimate spokesman of evil (as opposed to his current position as spokesman of The History Channel). And while we hate to be in the awkward position of defending Hitler, you have to admit the ever-present rumor that the man only had one testicle was a low blow.
The rumor came from a song penned in 1939. To deflate the cult of der Fuhrer and boost Allied morale, the British Council's PR man, Toby O'Brien, came up with the catchy little ditty titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." The most well-known version of the tune goes like this:
Hitler has only got one ball,
Goering has two but very small,
Himmler is somewhat sim'lar,
But poor Goebbels has no balls at all.
The lyrics weren't based on any actual rumors or information at the time, and in fact an early version of the song had Hitler and Goering switched, with Goering being the one missing a testicle and Hitler's having two shrunken ones.
Admittedly, the song was no "Gettin' Jiggy wit It," but it served its purpose. It quickly spread the world over, striking fear into the hearts of Aryan supremacists everywhere. So yeah, maybe it was actually exactly like ""Gettin' Jiggy wit It."
"In the middle of the club with smaller than average testicles."
But wait, there's one more bizarre twist to this tale.
In a weirdly prescient case of art mirroring reality, a Polish field medic who treated Hitler came out last year and said Hitler did in fact have only one ball, having misplaced his testicle in World War I during the Battle of Somme.
As far as we know Toby O'Brien never talked to said medic before writing his tune. Either it's an absolutely bizarre coincidence, or somehow, he just knew. The man was... the Testicle Whisperer.

A Whale of a meal
Tale of the Whale
By JR Grant 12/13/2012
Whale's Tale
3950 Bluefin Circle
Several months ago I invited a friend to join me for dinner at the Channel Islands Harbor. When I told him we were going to the Whale's Tail, he chuckled and said, "I haven't been there since my senior prom!" As my friend is a long-established local professional, that statement reflects how long this restaurant has been serving diners in Ventura County (since 1969, in fact). There is no question that the harbor view is glorious. At sunset the lines of boats, random kayakers and the reflected colors on the distant hillsides all combine to provide a memorable experience.
It is specifically for that reason that many locals opt to go to the Whale's Tail for happy hour. Drink specials abound (most at $10 a pop), and of the small plates offered, the crab-stuffed portabella mushrooms are probably the most interesting option: juicy shredded crab in a white sauce with celery and lightly herbed. It is a bit pricey at $12 but the view and the varied cocktail options seem to justify the expense.
One sidenote here — the restaurant had a recent extensive renovation, which I'm sure updated and streamlined many aspects of the business. Sadly, for me, the interior still seems locked in the 1960s (without being retro) and, except for the fish-boat salad bar (more later about that), does not win any exciting style awards. The space can certainly accommodate large office parties or rocking-out bar evenings (if a draw band is booked) with its two floors of seating options, but it is not the interior design that will beckon the diner.
At a recent dinner, I was in the mood for a cioppino-style fish stew. The Whale's Tail version has shrimp (not many, though), plump and juicy langostino lobster, scallops, green mussels, clams (again, not many) and bits of various whitefishes in a brothy red tomato sauce. For my palate, the sauce could have been a tad spicier, but overall the flavor combinations were pleasing and simple, although not particularly original in execution. I started this meal at the fish-boat salad bar. Constructed like a small trawler, this interesting decoration is really the salad trolley, and on several occasions it has only been filled on one side, with basic salad ingredients and little fruit cubes. As an entrée accompaniment, the salad boat is only $6, but had I just opted for the salad bar only (at $10), I would have been a little disappointed.
On another occasion, I ordered the sand dabs. One rarely sees them on menus because preparation (all those little bones!) can be time consuming for a restaurant. Their flavor, to me, is unique, kind of a cross between sole and halibut, but creamier and sweeter; and I was pleased with their preparation. Lightly breaded and pan sautéed, the accompanying aioli was just right, and I couldn't have been happier with my selection. When I asked the waitress where they were fished, her response was "the Pacific." I assume, then, it could be considered local. In any case, it is good to see such an unappreciated catch on a local menu.
The menu at the restaurant is fairly large, and there are a number of small-plate options in the $8-$12 range. Mostly, the restaurant seems to bank on its uniquely gorgeous location and its long harbor history. The food is certainly appealing and prepared attentively, and the sunset views are unmatched. One is not going to walk out of the restaurant (or bar) without having spent a fair amount of change. If service is attentive and timely, and a welcoming feel is provided by the host (if present), it can be hoped that all elements combined will entice the diner for return visits.

To the editor:
The Jefferson County Joint Vocational School offers 14 vocational career preparation programs which teach students the skills that are critical to success in the workplace. To make sure students can receive the training that is needed to enter a job market in an ever-changing economy, we must update our curriculum and revamp each program to meet the expectations and demands of today's workplace requirements.
It is imperative that we improve the training students receive to better prepare them for future careers. That is why we have found it necessary to request approval of a 1-mill levy. The proceeds of this levy will enable us to upgrade our vocational programs and make much-needed improvements to our facility. All of our programs will benefit from the passage of the levy, as the instructors have identified the equipment that is needed to keep up with the many changes which are occurring in the workplace.
Students who have completed their studies at the JVS have the academic, technical and employability skills needed to become productive workers and responsible citizens, but there is still much to do. Career and technical education plays a major role in economic development, and that is why, as work force needs change, JVS programs change, and your help is needed. Approving the levy will enable us to provide students with the skills and knowledge required for employment and advancement in the workplace, and improve their chances of success in their adult life. The challenges in today's workplace make it essential that students are well-prepared, so, please, help us provide students the relevant and vigorous training that business and industry demand.
On behalf of the JVS staff and the board of education, we want to thank the residents of our school district in advance for their ongoing support. Please call (740) 264-5545 or stop at the JVS if you have any questions or desire specific information about the improvements we will be making in each of the programs.

A grant awarded to the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels, or C2B2, will allow students to conduct research related to the conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals. C2B2 is a joint renewable energy center of CU-Boulder, Colorado State University, Colorado School of Mines, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and industry.
The grant—more than $336,500—from the National Science Foundation will allow students to pursue research over the next three years on feedstock science and engineering, biochemical conversions, thermochemical conversions, engineering reactions or separations, and solids-handling processes needed for biorefining applications. The grant, part of NSF's research Experience for Undergraduates (REU program) has provided funding for 12 undergraduates from around North America in 2010, including Colorado. This year, alternative C2B2 summer program funding sources allowed another eight undergraduates to participate, including several international students.
"Biofuels will be a key component of a new energy economy and 'biorefining' research is crucial to tomorrow's biofuels," said C2B2 executive director Alan Weimer, a professor in CU-Boulder's chemical and biological engineering department.
The C2B2 REU program is a 10-week summer program of research, educational seminars, and cultural programming. All of the program's features were piloted during the 2008 and 2009 summer programs, which served a combined 28 undergraduate researchers.
REU undergraduates conduct hands-on laboratory research with professional researchers at CU, CSU, Mines, and NREL. Additionally, participants are advised by professional scientists, faculty, and graduate mentors; engage in weekly research group meetings; and participate in site visits to each C2B2 institution for seminars and other peer presentation forums.
"The success of our state-funded, trial C2B2 REU programs enabled us to demonstrate the need for the NSF to invest in additional renewable energy research and education in Colorado," said Ryan Gill, managing director of C2B2 and a professor in CU-Boulder's chemical and biological engineering department.

Canada's WinterPRIDE; Luge, Love, and Late Nights
WinterPRIDE's 21st year kicks off on Sunday and lasts for a week, with closing festivities on February 10. Less than two hours from cosmopolitan and friendly Vancouver, Whistler is like a little pedestrian-only Swiss town where everyone speaks English. There are so many fun and singular aspects of celebrating Pride at Whistler, but we boiled down our favorite aspects to 10. See them below.
- Love Half-a-Mile Up
If you meet a special guy or gal at one of Whistler's many parties or mixers, you'll no doubt make a date to go skiiing or snowboarding the next day. Getting to know someone while serenly ascending a mountain, as snow flurries land on eyelashes, is much more romantic than screaming over a dance track. Just bring tissues for the inevitable nose runs.
- Hot and Cold
We're referring to a common pasttime for WinterPRIDE and all Whistler snow bunnies: taking a jacuzzi or hot tub dip outside (when it's probably in the 20s or 30s, degree-wise). The beautiful Fairmont Chateau Whistler hotel has an outdoor heated pool and spa that overlooks the slopes. It's a great way to kill a hangover.
- Snap Out of It
Speaking of overdoing it the night before, the cold weather will instantly wake you up and make you feel strangely refreshed. Just get a hot coffee to kill the headache. And when you're racing down a black diamond, puffy eyes will be the last thing on your mind.
- Luge is Life
If you're into thrills, you must visit the Whistler Sliding Center, where you can take part in the public bobsleigh (racing down the luge course with two other people) or the public skeleton (you're on your own, going down head first). Try not to pee your ski pants as you go 60 mph down curves and drops, just like the Olympians in 2010. When you land safely (hopefully), you'll be walking on sunshine.
- Learning Something Knew
Whistler is the perfect place to try your hand at snowboarding, if you were raised a skiier, or vice versa. The rental shops are huge and many of the young people working there are ex-pats from Europe or Australia (cute and nice). While Whistler Blackcomb has over 200 marked runs, many are easy enough for ski/snowboarding beginners.
- Act European
By that we mean, take the Peak to Peak Gondola, built in 2008 to transport skiiers and snowboarders between the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains (which both hug Whistler village). The gondola is the highest of its kind, nearly two miles up, and it takes 11 minutes to get from peak to peak. Staring over the edge at the winter wonderland below is both beautiful and unnerving (especially if the gondola decides to stop moving and dangle for a bit).
- Just Dance
There are tea dances and enormous rave-like events spread throughout WinterPRIDE. The closing night dance is an epic party; last year's closer was held at the Village's huge conference center, which was decorated like a winter wonderland. A fierce lesbian playing violin kicked off the party, which managed to still be fun even though the sad news of Whitney Houston's death just broke.
- A Quieter Celebration
If you're not into large dance parties, the Apres-ski tradition is alive and well at Whistler. The term refers to eating, drinking, and socializing after sweating it out at the slopes. Nearly every day features an early evening cocktail party, where attendees from around the world, men and women, meet and greet. There's usually a roaring fire at these events, FYI.
- Getting Out There
Like we said before, WinterPRIDE is not just about drinking. Planned events next week include a snowshoe tour, a zipline event, a debate about the meaning and future of Pride, and, of course, organized dinners at some of Whistler's best restaurants.
- Filling Your Stomach
Skiing and snowboarding burns a lot of calories, so eating well is a must. One of Whistler's best restaurants is The Barefoot Bistro, Melissa Craig's take on Canadian and West Coast food. The restaurant is a favorite of WinterPRIDE attendees. If you can, check out the 20,000 bottle wine cellar below, where you can practice the French art of champagne sabering.

Before anyone suggest it, I've yet to pick up "Applied Cryptography" I'm planning on picking it up the next time I visit amazon.
I know that the keys are somehow mathematically related, and I know that they're somehow generated via prime numbers, but how exactly are they related? I realize that it'd probably be best for me to go read about it inside of the book, if it has it, but this is something that I've been wondering about for a little while and I figure that this is the perfect site to ask it on.
Also the final keysize, is that the size of the prime number? For example, if I set it to 8192bits does that mean that the prime numbers are that long?
