A bus carrying Kentucky college students has crashed on Signal Mountain in southeastern Tennessee.
WRCB-TV in Chattanooga reported a brake problem caused the charter bus carrying students from Kentucky Wesleyan College to run over a small hill beside the road. The station reported the bus went airborne.
There were 40 people aboard, including the driver.
A Hamilton County 911 dispatcher told the Messenger-Inquirer of Owensboro, Ky., 22 people were taken to hospitals after the accident Sunday night. Police said none had life-threatening injuries.
The newspaper reported the students were members of the Kentucky Wesleyan Singers.

Right now I have two buildings across the street from one another that both have typical consumer aDSL connections (something like 12 Mbs down/1 Mbs up). When I need to access resources on the other network, I VPN into the other building and do my work. The problem is that when I'm transferring large files, it's a very slow connection. And sometimes I'm remotely working with both of those networks so simply walking between buildings with a hard drive is out of the question.
What are some best practices to solve this situation? I've considered running a fiber link between the buildings, but is that a viable option and what is there to consider when doing that (I imagine a permit from the city would be needed to dig up the street)? Wireless seems like the obvious choice, but is it reliable, and would I get a significant speed boost?

salted coconut caramels recipe
In amongst the flurry of packing last week, Ada had her last day of Kindy. It was a big day as any mother knows, my baby is all grown up and ready to start pre-primary next year! Far out.
As a little token of my appreciation for all the hard work her teachers have put in this year, I made up a few little gift bags containing a version of these cookies and a handful of home made salted coconut caramels.
When I think back to Christmas as a kid, along with the memories of Hawkes Bay cherries by the boxful from my Great Aunty June, water pistols fights on the lawn and Nana-naps after lunch, are the evocative memories of big bags of Mackintosh lollies! It was the only time we were allowed to eat lollies freely and although it's been years since I've eaten one I still remember my favourites being the yellow; eggs and cream and harrogate, followed by the blue; malt and pink; coconut. The last one being my inspiration for today's recipe.
Soft, buttery, chewy, slightly salty, definitely sweet these caramels make the perfect festive gift. I'm sure everyone has already got their Christmas presents sorted (well mostly? Started at least?) but should you find yourself with a spare hour and the desire to play around with hot sugar and butter these are an awesome little project to undertake, especially in the quiet hours of night after the kids are tucked up in bed dreaming about what Santa may bring...
I'll be back sometime after Christmas but until then I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Hope you have a good one, also if you haven't already done so leave a comment here to go in the draw to win a copy of the Martha Goes Green calendar, I'll draw Christmas day and announce the winner in my next post Xx emm

salted coconut caramels
We tolerate butter and cream in small amounts now, but if you don't, you might like to try this out using lactose-free cream (available everywhere here in Australia but not so sure back home in NZ?) and dairy-free margarine. No guarantees in will work as I haven't tried it myself, but might be worth a shot? Coconut cream cannot be used in place of regular in this recipe, it separates when heated. I used reduced salt butter for this recipe and added 1 teaspoon sea salt, if you use unsalted butter I'd use the full 2 teaspoons and if you use regular I'd use 3/4-1 teaspoon. Mine could have been slightly more salty. You could always sprinkle a little more flaked sea salt on the top before wrapping if desired.
makes 60-65
- 2 1/2 cups organic raw sugar
- 600ml cream
- 125g butter
- 1-2 teaspoon fine sea salt *see above
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup (unsweetened) desiccated coconut
- melted butter, to grease
Line a 18x28cm rimmed slice tin (aka brownie pan) with aluminum foil (tin foil) and grease generously with melted butter, making sure the aluminum foil comes up and over the sides. Place the tin onto a folded tea towel and set aside (the tin will get really hot once the caramel is poured in, so the tea towel will protect any kitchen surfaces from damage and make it easier for you if you need to move it).
Combine sugar, cream, butter, salt and cream of tartar in a large saucepan (note the large pan, the mixture does boil up and over if your pan is too small, I know). Stir over med-low heat, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat, bring to the boil and boil without stirring for about 20-25 minutes or until the temperature reaches 122 C/ 250F on a candy thermometer.
Remove from the heat, add coconut and swirl the pan to roughly distribute. Pour mixture into the foil-lined tin leaving behind any dark solids in the bottom of the pan. Set aside for 4 hours or until set.
Lift the caramel from the tin using the aluminum foil for help. Use a oiled knife to cut into small logs. If the caramel is still really sticky (like it gets on a hot summers day in Perth!) simply pop it in the fridge to firm up slightly for 10-20 minutes before cutting. I cut mine into roughly 2.5 cm x 2cm logs. Wrap in cellophane. If you live somewhere hot, store in the fridge until serving/giving away.

my favs were the other way around, malt and coconut first !! and if there was a box of roses chocs around then the fudge ones were mine, all mine :)ReplyDelete
happy christmas to you and your gang x
- vicki greetisDecember 21, 2011 at 1:02 PM
haha yes Paula the fudge chocolate were mine too ;-)ReplyDelete
Sounds delicious! A soy creamer might do the trick (to make these delights dairy-free as well). I may have to give these a go!ReplyDelete
How much fun. I book marked it for future use. We're heading out of town in a couple of days to head home for Christmas, and in the effort to not pack a bunch of stuff on the plane we really had to make tough decisions. Not making the caramel this very minute is a TOUGH decision!ReplyDelete
They look fabulous, I can just imagine the yummy texture with the coconut. Have a fabulous Christmas, Alli xReplyDelete
Mmm, these look incredible! I love making caramels but never put coconut in mine. I can't wait to try :DReplyDelete
Yummo! Perfect for nibbling on while the kids are in bed- cause I don't want to share!ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas sweetie!
Same to you everyone! xxReplyDelete
Laura @ Laura friendly, we don't have soy creamer here in Aussie that I know of. I've never seen it before, but do let me know if you make these with it and it works out :-)
I bet those teachers were happy! I've been making nougat, cookies and gingerbread houses. PHEW, Christmas is a busy time!ReplyDelete
When do you find the time?
Egg Cream Mackintoshes all the way! I always hated malt, but Harrogate was the worst of all (I think we pronounced it "haggerty" because we couldn't quite say the word properly). Mint and coconut were quite acceptable :)ReplyDelete
Lucky teachers - I'm sure the caramels will be appreciated. I love how old-fashioned they look in their twists of cellophane.
@being Julia~ I'm actually not sure! I've been staying up WAY too late at night lately...ReplyDelete

Ahhh the memories. I loved those Mackintosh lollies. We were allowed to have them at Christmas each year. I loved the malt and the mint ones.ReplyDelete
Your coconut caramels look so deliciously perfect. Such a beautiful treat for the teachers.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Mmmm Mackintosh toffee's the Bathgates sprinkle them through the presents under the tree yum! I made your recipe along with peppermint bark and my own cherry almond choc bars as giftee's they are going down a treat into many a tum as I type :)xxReplyDelete

If your website's # of visitors produced a weekly bell curve, with say Sunday generally being the lowest and Wednesday or Thursday being the peak... What day of the week would be best to regularly add major content updates?
Assuming you don't require downtime...
If you want user feedback prior to the "busy hours" (so you can make amendments), perform update on lowest demand.
If the update doesn't require feedback and you want users to feel like they are getting the newest content, perform the update prior to the peek (e.g. at 50% of the expected peek on the way up to the peek) so that the peek users will get the freshest content.
Though sunday seems the logical conclusion,do inform your users in advance that you will be bringing the site down on Sunday during this time period (mention the time zone too) so that people are aware of it well in advance and are not surprised to find it down.
When your site is down do provide an informative or even fun message which tells them when the site will be back up.

"It's always been a love and the more you know the more you know it needs to be."
Marlene Lyons-Nelson knows there is a lot of hard work ahead of her as director of Safe Haven Equine.
"It's been in the works, been wanting to do it for a year or so."
Now she will be able to rescue neglected and abused animals. They also teach horse owners how to take care of them properly.
"If they have the property for the house, he's better off at home."
Safe Haven is set on 84 acres of property on Snyder Branch Road in Allen County. Lyons Nelson says it's greatly needed because in the seven surrounding counties there is no resource for abused horses.
These two ponies lost their mothers at birth to disease and have had to be bottle fed back to health.
"This is the first time in a while they've actually played and been able to run because they were so weak."
She is also trained in emergency rescue in the event of a trailer accident or barn fire. She says she is not scared of the work she does even though sometimes the horses are temperamental.
"When you see a head up and the whites of the eyes, they're afraid. The size throws you because you take it personal. But I'd rather be around a horse acting up. I know exactly what they're going to do. To me, they're easier to figure out than people."
Lyons-Nelson is hoping to create a network of volunteers to help out at Safe Haven. She says the reward is helping the horses.
"Seeing them get better. That's what it's all about."
To contact Marlene Lyons-Nelson about Safe Haven call (270)622-4243 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sorry if this is kind of a dumb question, but do LDraw files describe models (with translation and rotation values with references to bricks contained in other files), or do they describe the bricks themselves (such as the individual vertices, lines, polygons, etc.)? Or do different LDraw file types work in different ways?
Both, often in the same file.
If you take a look at the .ldr file format specification you can see that each file is made up of an number of different types of "line", one of which is a Subfile Reference where you can specify the colour, position, rotation and scale of the model.
Other lines can then be added to describe Lines, Triangles, Quadrilaterals and Optional Lines, which are specified by their individual vertices.
For example, the 1x1 Brick [part:3005] has the following non-comment lines (I've added comments to show what it's doing):
Common subfiles include the studs and tubes on bricks.
When you save a model in MLCad or similar as an .ldr file it's basically all Subfile lines.

Pope's Successor likely to be Catholic
and most likely to be a male.
And a male. Just a guess, though.
Just the sort of thing that, if you're an academic, for which you can get a large research grant, so you can study it for the next three years.
A list of the eleven American cardinals who will vote in the conclave includes Cardinals Mahoney, Rigali, and Levada. What sort of legal system does the Church have that permits criminals to be electors of popes?
Yeah, I just saw Cardinal Dolan on CBS. He said the next pope will be a lot like his predecessors. They sent the blooming anchor himself over to St. Patrick's to get that insight.
What an incredible gift this pope has given the Church. The next time a narcisist takes over and believes it is his job to continue on long after his body and mind are toast, Benedict's decision will be there to tell him to step down.
This just in: Bear's newborn cubs likely to go in woods. Developing.
Of course the next pope will share Benedict's ideas. Most of the Cardinals who will elect the next pope were either appointed by Pope Benedict or had earlier elected Benedict to the papacy.That should surprise nobody. Sounds like a 'dog bites man' type of news story; a filler.
How could a man rise to rank of cardinal without the support of the most reactionary voices in the hierarchy? Especially Ratzinger?It would be near impossible for the next pope to be that much different than B16, especially since Ratzinger has only appointed cardinals that conform to his version of orthodoxy. Since the Europeans and North Americans have made such mess of the church over the last four decades, isn't it about time that the cardinals give the papacy to someone from Africa, Asia or South America? At lest the Catholic Church could begin to reclaim its mission to hear the cry of the poor.Papa Giovanni XXIII, pray for us!
Speaking of Giovanni XXIII, were things any better-looking when he was elected than they are now? Who appointed the Cardinals who elected him? Who appointed ninety per-cent of the bishops present in Rome as Vatican II began? We've seen (or at least I'm old enough to have seen) wonderful things happen before.
Ann - does Rigali belong in that list of alleged criminals? I know he is not a fan favorite here, but I don't recall seeing his name linked prominently to the sex-abuse crisis?
But how will someone from Africa, Asia, or South America likely be on the subject of women's ordination, or LGBT issues?
Jim, Check again in philadelphia:"There are, Rigali decreed, no archdiocesan priests in ministry today who have an admitted or established allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against them."But then, a month later, after the archdiocese conducted an internal investigation of accused priests, Rigali suspended 21 of them."
Crystal: you seem to be saying that people from Africa, Asia, or South American would not want women's ordination or change on LGBT issues. Since the church is worldwide, and unity must be preserved worldwide, doesn't your question imply that the time is not yet ripe for tacking women's ordination or LGBT issues? Let me go further: doesn't it seem to imply that if there was a democratic vote, among the 1 billion Catholics worldwide, then they would vote against the sensibilities of lay Catholics in the US? Imagine you're right to be advocating for women's ordination and LGBT rights, and imagine that most people - on a global scale - disagree with you: Might it not mean that there is a wisdom to slow change - change that happens only as fast as Catholics worldwide can adjust? It's that, or breaking unity. The church is a mammoth, and mammoths move slowly.
"Pope Prays for World Peace"A most common headline.
Mark Proska 02/11/2013 - 7:01 pm "This just in: Bears newborn cubs likely to go in woods. Developing.: What are you implying here?
This is probably a knee jerk defense of my guild, but I don't think the question is all that obtuse. When a new leader comes in everyone wants to know what might change, or if there will be any change. And there have certainly been major changes -- John XXIII to Benedict XVI, each pope was quite different from the other, prompting changes in teachings as well as bringing an enormously different style. There are many cardinals, even some of the reputed papabile, who have expressed differing views on optional celibacy, communion for divorced and remarried, not to mention the decided lack of enthusiasm that I suspect the next pope will have for the old rite Mass and related liturgical issues. I have no clue what will happen -- the curial ranks are very strong, but there is more awareness of their strength and more time for non resident cardinals to think about who they would vote for, and maybe even read up on their colleagues. Many of them have never met each other except to shake hands, and they couldn't pick each other out of a line up. (You know all cardinals look alike...) But I am more sanguine than others that there may be a shift to a non-European, someone who would bring a very different world view. Then again, there are plenty of "non-Europeans" in the College who are more Roman than the Romans...Vediamo.
Claire,I'm not saying that *the people* of Africa, Asia, and South America are more conservative (for instance, I think same-sex marriage is legal in Argentina and Brazil), but I'd bet that the stance of the church in those countries is more conservative and that a pope from Africa, for instance, might tend to be more conservative than Benedict has been. But even if that's not so, the majority opinion is not always the right opinion - given that, minorities would always suffer under majority rule and things like interracial marriage, which was made legal by the court, would have taken much longer to be accepted.
Helen--Do you really not know? Read the lede again.
Crystal:ok, could be discussed. But I don't want to sidetrack this thread. I would simply say that you are viewing the current events through the lens of discrimination inside the church.
Claire,Yeah, I don't want to highjack the thread :) But if a pope was chosen who had very conservative views, it could affect many people's lives, especially given Africa/AIDS/condoms and the church's medical/charity work.
Cardinal Turkson departed a bit from the Vatican line about the use of condoms when one spouse has AiDS. This is promising.
Over at Andrew Sullivan's blog he quotes JAK's comment here at dotCommonweal, saying "This is worth absorbing".http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/02/11/resignation-and-the-papacy/
There is good reason to believe the next bishop of Rome will not be conservative. Angelo Roncalli surprised everyone. John Paul II and Benedict XVI have shown that we need a change. These two popes presided over the demise of the church in Europe while they were nationalist Europeans themselves. Charlemagne anyone?
The oddsmakers have picked three others above him. From Ghana, Nigeria and Argentina. But I am taking Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras at 7-1. I don't believe there has been an election in which the top two were not Italians or Europeans. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100450439
At the Washington Post two dotCommonwealers draw attention, Terrence Tilly and Fr. Joseph Komonchak:'Benedicts resignation helps refine the notion of the papacy and, thanks be to God, distinguishes the person from the office,' Terence Tilley, a theologian at Fordham University and past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, wrote in a discussion of Benedicts resignation at the blog of Commonweal, a leading Catholic magazine.'By this act, his frank admission that to carry out the Petrine ministry certain conditions of bodily and mental health are required, Benedict helps bring the papacy back within the Church, down from what Hans Urs von Balthasar calledpyramid-like isolation, added the Rev. Joseph Komonchak, an eminent church historian."http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/how-the-traditional-pope...
Are there any kind of core competencies for an effective Pope? Are there criteria to help guide the Cardinals in their choice? We tend to have rules on everything, do we have any for this?
"doesnt your question imply that the time is not yet ripe for tacking womens ordination or LGBT issues"It's probably off topic to open a debate on these particular issues, but this does raise a general question about what you might want in the next Pope. To what extent does majority opinion determine the ripeness of time?
Joe McFaul and Ann - regarding Rigali, you're quite right. I apologize, I was confusing my former archbishops of St. Louis.
This morning's headline, Pope Resigns, With Church at Crossroads, is even odder. What crossroads? Surely no one thinks the cardinals, picked by Benedict XVI and John Paul II, will take a different direction than that charted by the group that controls the Church.
Thanks, Fr. K - for some historical reminders and context. Needed that!
doesnt your question imply that the time is not yet ripe for tacking womens ordination or LGBT issuesGood grief why the unending obsession with womens ordination and gay issues? Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live skit where a newsman announces "Soviets drop nuclear bomb on US; women and minorities hardest hit.Korea just exploded a nuke bomb, and Iran is working toward the same. In the USA we allow the murder of a million babies each year, and almost half of the children that are allowed to be born are illegitimate. For those who have forgotten, illegitimate refers to a bastard i.e., a child born out of wedlock. We have 11 million people we force to live in shadows/limbo because some Americans like cheap labor, disposable people. We have maniacs shooting people from one end of the country to another, mainly because we allow folks to sell machine guns willy-nilly, and also because we to not tend the mentally ill but instead allow Hollywood to fill peoples heads with violent nonsense form sun up to sundown.On top of all this we have a remarkable situation of the first pope to resign in six hundred years, and all some can manage, is to babble on and on about wanting women priest-essas and wondering what is in store for the gays.Jeez!
Ann, just FYI, that WaPo story was an RNS story that I wrote and they ran -- quotes lifted from Father K's post here, which was one of the more spot-on things I've read. Thanks again to dotCommonweal for helping out an overworked journo!
Doctrine, ideology, belief, superstition, bigotry, prejudice - it's all the same to the Times :O)
Thanks for the RNS story, David G. It's good to see dotCWL being appreciated.

Morgan Schmidt qualified for the state golf tournament, shooting a 107 to take 15th place at the Larned regional on Monday.
That was Schmidt's best score of the season, and a 13 stroke improvement over the same course early in the season.
The balance of the Greenback Lady Linksters seasons came to an end, however, as the team placed 8th with 490 points.
Only the top 3 teams qualify for state. It was a hotly contested regional as the top three teams, Goodland, Colby and Ulysses, all posted 414 team scores. Goodland was awarded the regional championship on the strength of the "5th player" tiebreaker.
For the Greenbacks, Taylar Fuhr shot 115 (28th) and Kayla Baer shot 124 (32nd). Both golfers ended their season well, shooting season- best or tying -for- season-best scores.
Lauren Beardsley (144 41st) and Shelby Richard (146 43rd) struggled a little bit on the day, both posting higher scores than they shot either last week or earlier in the season at Larned.
Morgan Schmidt will compete in the state 4A meet, to be hosted by Buhler but held at Hesston Golf Park on October 15, with tee times beginning at 9 a.m.

Brazilian Cardinal from my yard this afternoon. 7D, 100-400L @ 400mm. Handheld, F8, 1/125, ISO 400, with Better Beamer 580 flash, EC -1 2/3.Source:WikipediaThe Red-crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata) is a bird species in the tanager family (Thraupidae). It was formerly placed in the Emberizidae, and notwithstanding its common name, it is not very closely related to the true cardinals (family Cardinalidae).It is found in northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and heavily degraded former forest. Among other regions, it is found in southern part of the Pantanal.It has also been introduced to Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

Dropped my beloved 300L F4 IS a few weeks ago. No physical damage but the IS stopped working. Sent to Canon a fre weeks ago, picked it up from Purolator this morning and went on a road strait away.Back in action. Taken with my 7D.crop
Krob78, Mr. Otter, Barrfly, digital paradise and all you other photogs....very beautiful and inspiring shots. Looking at your work keeps me interested in pursuing this hobby and trying to make photographs like you can Some I took at dusk today in my yard. This young heron has been coming around for about a month when I feed the fish in the canal, but he was never able to catch a fish in several dozen tries....until now. This tilapia was large and it took him several minutes to finally swallow. Taken with a 7D and 100-400mm L @ 400mm. Almost dusk and was very overcast (started to rain as I took the last shot), so I used a 580 on camera flash with a better beamer. I am a total noob when it comes to flash since I never use it and haven't yet learned. I think these were overexposed and so I had to try and fix it with DPP. Constructive advice welcome. Thanks.
Does anyone know what type of bird this one is? The photo was taken in eastern Ontario, Canada, on the edge of a marsh. I tried to ID it with a couple of bird books and just got confused....Thanks!

Im looking to improve my writing , i would love to know if anyone has any tips on developing an engaging conversational writing style.
migrated from english.stackexchange.com Mar 11 '11 at 14:54
This question came from our site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts.
The best advice I can give you is to study the works of writers who have mastered the lively, conversational style. There are many to recommend in this regard, such as Robert Parker, Elmore Leonard, Charlie Huston - the list is long.
+1 to Elmore Leonard, esp. his 10 Rules for Writing. (Read the reviews or get it from the library before you buy new; some people think it's a waste of money. I think it's priceless.)
Mostly? Listen to what people say. Take notes. You don't need to write in dialect, but chances are, you need more periods. My written sentences are way longer than my oral ones. Hardly anybody ever speaks a semi-colon in conversation.

Author Rita Golden Gelman once lived what's usually considered to be the privileged, good life, at least by most modern Western standards. Being materially well-off, she resided in a large house in the well-to-do suburbs of Los Angeles, had beautiful designer clothes, regularly dined on fabulous food, and attended more parties and other social events than she could remember. But when her husband asked for a separation and ultimately a divorce, she was thrown for a loop. She felt like her life was in a state of flux, yet stuck in some form of societal limbo. She began to feel out of sorts with some of her friends and acquaintances, and was uncomfortable with her old role in society in general.
She started to seriously question her then values. She had always preferred, "Goodwill to Neiman Marcus, Hondas instead of Mercedes," but financial circumstances and community standing pushed her into choosing the latter rather than the former in most cases. She also came to the recognize that, "my house is too big, my garden too trim, and my friends too white and American." Rita realized that she had become too complacent in her life's cocoon, and that she had lost the spirit and zest for living, as well as the dreams of traveling the world that she had harbored in younger years.
Most other women of Rita's age (48) and social background finding themselves in a similar predicament would have likely turned to the safe confines of some type of counseling, psychotherapy and/or course of anti-depressants in an attempt to preserve their past life sans hubby. However, Rita's soul searching produced a completely different path: Chuck it all!
So after the divorce was finalized, she decided to seek exotic locales and to embark on the next phase of her life; a phase that neither her friends nor family could comprehend. In 1986, she sold almost all of her worldly possessions and with the little money left to her name, began a true nomadic existence, without any permanent address, bare minimum possessions and no real obligations to anyone.
This book records her world-wide adventures ensuing from this new found way of life. She lived in a small, remote village in Mexico, getting by with very elementary Spanish speaking skills. She slept with the sea lions on a beach in the Galapagos Islands. She observed orangutans in the rainforests of Borneo. She found her family and cultural roots in Israel. She spent years at a palace in Bali as a prince's guest. She also extensively toured New Guinea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Thailand, Vancouver, Nicaragua, and New Zealand. But what really sets Rita apart from the ordinary traveler and/or nomad is her enviable way of connecting with people from different cultures, who come forward to help her along the way, and end up becoming her friends for life's long haul.
Rita delved into this new life with a gusto and a true sense of spirit that few of us have ever experienced in our own lives. Reading this memoir, may arouse a similar wanderlust in you. The closest I ever came to this feeling was years ago when I had graduated from high school and was determined to join the Peace Corps. I was dissuaded from doing so by family and friends. What would have happened if I had followed that dream? No one knows. But it's books such as these that make me wonder.

For simplicity I'll consider only gravity, but in general this question only applies to conservative forces.
As per my understanding, the way one gets to the equation for gravitational potential energy is this:
$(1)$ $\ddot{r}=-\frac{MG}{r^2}$ is given experimentally
$(2)$ $KE=\frac{1}{2}m\dot{r}^2$ is derived theoretically and (thought) experimentally
$(3)$ Energy is conserved
$(4)$ For a set of generic initial conditions,
- Using $(1)$, find $r(t)$ and then derive $\dot{r}(r)$
- Using $(2)$ find $KE(r)$
- Using $(3)$, $PE(r)=E_0-KE(r)$
Is this a correct method?
If the answer is 'no' my question ends here, if not: surely $(3)$ is by definition correct (circularly so), and so the equation for potential energy is arbitrary? I would be interested in seeing a method that does not do this (or is correct at all, if the answer was 'no').

In A. Fröhlich's article Local Fields in Algebraic Number Theory, the following claim is made: if $R$ is a Dedekind domain with field of fractions $K$, $L$ is a finite separable extension of $K$ and $S$ is the integral closure of $R$ in $L$, and $x$ is an element of $S$ with minimal polynomial $g$, then, "by Euler's formulae",
$$\text{tr}_{L/K}(x^i/g'(x)) \in R$$ for each $0 \leq i \leq n-1$, where $n=\text{deg } g$.
Which formulae of Euler are being referred to? The claim can be proven by the Lagrange interpolation formula; in fact the given quantity is $1$ if $i=n-1$, and $0$ for $0 \leq i < n-1$. However, I have no idea what proof Fröhlich has in mind. I also cannot resist pointing out the humor in appealing to Euler's "formulae" without further precision. Perhaps the formulae in question are well-known, and I am the only one who has not been invited to the party? In any case, more details would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

The Legacy of the Philadelphia Chromosome: From Discovery to Therapy: A Symposium in Honor of Peter C. Nowell, MD
Please use for reference only.
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: September 15, 2006
On September 13, 2006, colleagues and students of Dr. Peter Nowell came together to celebrate his 50-year-plus career at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine with an educational symposium in his honor. An educational seminar seems particularly fitting given Dr. Nowell's longstanding dedication to teaching, as evidenced by the number of current and former "students" in the audience. The day was filled with praise from colleagues for his groundbreaking work with the late David Hungerford in 1960, as well as his continued commitment to the field of pathology and the education of future scientists. The day's presentations focused on areas of research which came about because of Dr. Nowell and David Hungerford's perseverance during a time when their theories were doubted.
Dr. Nowell's career at The University of Pennsylvania began at the School of Medicine in 1948. After completing a pathology residency at Presbyterian Hospital and two years as a pathologist for the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory in San Francisco, he returned to Penn in 1956. He began studying leukemia cells in the laboratory, and eventually went searching for someone to do chromosomal research on these cells. He was introduced to David Hungerford, a graduate student who wanted to do a thesis on human chromosomes, but was still in need of cells to use for his research. That serendipitous meeting put into motion a chain of scientifically critical events that ultimately led to the discovery of Gleevec, a drug that has changed the lives of thousands of patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).
The two researchers were experimenting with cells from various types of leukemia when David noticed a smaller-than-normal chromosome 22 on the cancer cells of 2 individuals with CML. With the far less sophisticated techniques of the time, they were unable to tell what happened to the material missing from the chromosome. It would be 1972 before another researcher; Janet Rowley, MD, would discover the missing piece of chromosome number 22 attached to chromosome number 9, thereby identifying the first known chromosomal translocation.
Nowell and Hungerford published an abstract of their research in 1960, describing the abnormality that had been found in 9 out of 10 CML patients they studied. The findings were confirmed by a group in the UK, and the abnormality was subsequently named the Philadelphia Chromosome, for the city in which it was discovered. Nowell and Hungerford had shown that this genetic change was required for the development of CML, and they proposed that all cancers were a result of a critical genetic mutation in a single cell. Others did not agree, however, and the Philadelphia Chromosome was dismissed as an isolated phenomenon, but Dr. Nowell was convinced and continued his research.
In 1972, Dr. Rowley described the (9;22) translocation among several other mutations seen in various types of leukemia, but most researchers still did not buy into the genetic change theory. It would be the early 1980's before techniques allowed researchers to closely examine chromosomal abnormalities and to see the link to other types of leukemia. These discoveries inspired Dr. Brian Druker's clinical trials of Gleevec, which began in 1998. The drug was the first to target a specific protein produced by cancer cells. In this case, the abnormal protein produced by the Philadelphia Chromosome, bcr-abl, was targeted. The drug was shown to be extremely effective in treating CML, inducing remissions in large numbers of patients. The drug was then approved in 72 days, faster than any other in the history of the US Food & Drug Administration.
For his achievements in the field of pathology, Dr. Nowell has received numerous awards, including the Lasker Award for basic medical research and the Gold Headed Can Award given by the American Society for Investigative Pathology. Despite all the accolades and praise for his long and distinguished career, Dr. Nowell remains humble, referring to his discovery as a "serendipitous observation". Although Dr. Nowell is "retiring" from his position, he will stay on as Professor Emeritus, with his office door always open to offer his guidance and wisdom to the researchers of the future.

Two continuous random variables $X $and $Y$ have the joint density $$f(x,y) = C(x^2 + y), -1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1, 0 \leqslant y \leqslant 1.$$
- Compute the constant $C$.
- Compute the probability $P(\{Y<0.6\})$.
- Compute the probability $P({Y<0.6\mid X=0.5})$.
To find $C$ I'm thinking I should solve for $C$ when the indefinite integral of $f(x,y) = 1$.
As far as finding the probability in part 2 I'm thinking of finding the integral of $f(x,y)$ with respect to $C$ from $0.0$ to $0.6$.
Part three I am not sure of. Can anyone point me in the right direction, not looking for answers as much as an understandable solution.

Whenever I use functions like
FindRoot or
NDSolve, it sends
x through the function and deals with the result. That would be fine if I was sending a simple math function through, but I have something more like a short program. Is there any way to make it solve it by putting specific values through the function and looking at the results?

Prepare the two vectors
Now is time to define a function that takes a numerical $d\times d$-dimensional array $A$ as input and computes the norm $|A X-B|.$
At this point one would try to minimize the above function in order to get the matrix $A$ such that $AX=B$ holds approximately. We use the

upgrade command errors
I have a workspace with an ext app in it. The ext app was generated with Cmd 3 build 141.
At some point I installed Cmd build 181 and ran 'upgrade'. It completed but overwrote files.
I was able to replace the files and move on.
Now, I have installed Cmd build 250, and I have downloaded a licensed version of Ext JS.
When I run $ sencha app upgrade -path /path/to/extjs (from the app dir), it fails with an error:
Cannot find ....${framework.config.dir}/plugin.xml (from workspace/plugin.xml)
So, I hard coded the path in workspace/plugin.xml:
<project basedir=".">
<import file="/Users/me/bin/Sencha/Cmd/188.8.131.52/plugins/ext/current/plugin.xml "/>
That got me past that error, but now it throws:
Failed to resolve dependency Ext.app.Controller for file MyApp.controller.MainDataController
Leaving me stumped.
Should I not bother with 'upgrade'?
What does it do, so I can do it manually?
Thank you!
13 Nov 2012 5:36 PM #2
are you building single page application or multiple page application?
13 Nov 2012 10:45 PM #3
I havn't used CMD with ExtJs yet. But was experiencing similar things with Touch. Remember that the first versions of CMD3 you were using were still in beta! So things may have changed...
What I did to fix it in Touch:
- renamed the old project
- created a new project with the correct project name
- then copied over in to the new project the necessary pieces from the old project (app folder, css, resources, etc.)
15 Nov 2012 8:44 AM #4
I think it would be considered a single page application at this point, but that may change.
I have the ExtJS application in a workspace so that I can potentially share resources with a Touch application. We haven't done that yet, but it is intended.
What's involved with renaming the project?
Is there more to it than renaming the directory it lives in?
15 Nov 2012 2:28 PM #5
15 Nov 2012 3:36 PM #6
Do you have your own ant set up? can you run sencha ant .props to see the value of framework.config.dir?

Local building code requires a roof vent that is less than ten feet away from an operating skylight to extend a minimum of three feet above the skylight. Is there an alternative venting system, other than a straight pipe, that can be installed instead that doesn't extend as much?
Which means if you install a vent pipe 10 feet or more away from the skylight then you can have a shorter vent pipe extension above roofline. I assume this is about a vent pipe from the kitchen outlet. As long as you do a proper and sound job that doesn't cause some silly damage, who's going to know if you only have a one foot vent pipe extension? I installed an additional downpipe in response to a poorly executed re-plumbing of my house (before i bought it.) I've joined the new downpipe to the only available connection the kitchen outlet, so now the rain downpipe acts as a vent pipe. I haven't had any problems. If this is about vent pipe from water closet instead, then you probably want a long vent pipe extension to avoid the aromas.

Anal cancer forms when a genetic mutation turns normal, healthy cells into abnormal cells. Healthy cells grow and multiply at a set rate, eventually dying at a set time. Abnormal cells grow and multiply out of control, and they don't die. The accumulating abnormal cells form a mass (tumor). Cancer cells invade nearby tissues and can separate from an initial tumor to spread elsewhere in the body (metastasize).
Anal cancer is closely related to a sexually transmitted infection called human papillomavirus (HPV). Evidence of HPV is detected in the majority of anal cancers. HPV is thought to be the most common cause of anal cancers.

Can your help me to resolve these bugs ?
hi rkrishna_1975,
I've tested this GREAT Plugins !! I like it, very usefull for my project !
But i've small bugs :
If i click on maximize icon on a collapsed panel, the maximize window doesn't show my content (is it possible to have the maximizable icon just when panel is expanded ?).
When windows is maximized, i can drag the panel into this windows.... (is it possible ti disable drag fonction (just for the panel) not for the windows ?)
Can your help me for resolve these bugs ?
Thx fior this great improvement !!
26 Dec 2007 8:57 AM #15
1. That is because the code does not look for whether the panel height is reduced or not. Just call the maximize before this is rendered. (I will see if I get some time to put a check for that.)
2. Just set Draggable: false in the config options in the code for the maximize plugin (go to the window config options).Ramki

Cool stuff
Hi Krishna
it is really helpful plugin, I tested and it is working fine, let you know if any issue found.

Small Problem
Hi Krishna
it is very nice plugin, I tested and it is working fine.But I have seen one bug.When I try to drag panel over title it was disappears.How can i solve this bug?
25 Jan 2008 11:08 AM #18
Problem when panels contain IFrames
Thanks for this great plugin.
I did find one issue though.
I'm using the Managed IFrame Panel component available on this forum.
When I maximize that panel, the maximized window displays the content correctly.
However, when closing the maximized window, the Iframe in the panel does not get refreshed correctly. (Collapsing/expanding the panel does refresh the iframe though.)
If you have time to look into this issue I'd much appreciate it.
Edit: I'm more interested in a solution for IE as I am aware FF has an issue with iframes anyway.
12 Feb 2008 9:50 AM #19
Hi, very good plugin, but i need one little improvement, and maybe is a little setting , i want to animate the maximizing window from the panel clicked.
Now the window comes from the upper left corner, i want that animation from the maximized panel if it possible , how i can do this ?
thanks in advance.
13 Feb 2008 11:22 PM #20
not restoring back to the initial size
Thanks for sharing this great plugin. it's very helpful to me.
in my project i've a portal implementation for which i'm using maximize plugin for all the panels. the problem that i'm facing is restoring the maximized panel is not restoring back with the same size(in the aspect of height of the panel).
I've attached the screenshots explaining the same. Please go through them and help me.
Thanks in advance.

I read the definitions of both on wikipedia but they didn't mention any relationship between the two terms although there must be one because they are dealing with the same thing: spatial data. Can we consider that regional GISs are building blocks of a national SDI?
The way I see it is Spatial Data Infrasture is the whole network and framework of geospatial data. It involves everything from standards to data to databases to software. A desktop or web GIS can be a part of a SDI but it is not the entire SDI. All parts are required for the use and analysis of spatial data, as expressed in the following quotations:
The document which this is quoted from also gives a good indication on the different of a GIS and a SDI. See: http://www.gdmc.nl/publications/2001/Spatial_data_infrasructure.pdf
Steiniger and Hunter (2012) distinguish the following five components:
and Kuhn (2005) gives this deffintion:
Kuhn W (2005) Introduction to Spatial Data Infrastructures. Presentation held on March 14 2005. Available from: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/2697206/Introduction-to-Spatial--Data- Infrastructures
Steiniger, S. and Hunter, A.J.S. , 2012. Free and Open Source GIS Software for Building a Spatial Data Infrastructure. In: E. Bocher and M.

ESRI 2010 - GIS Best Practices: Spatial Data Infrastructure. http://www.gdmc.nl/publications/2001/Spatial_data_infrasructure.pdf
In addition to the answer above, sometimes financial resources are also counted among the components of an SDI.

McKnight, Matos power Ansonia over Woodland
ANSONIA — Jarvis Stadium's re-sodded field made its debut Friday night. So Ansonia's Jai'Quan McKnight and Andrew Matos decided to christen the new turf in their own, seemingly counterproductive way. They tore it up.
McKnight was a perfect 8-for-8 passing, hitting Matos for all three of his touchdown passes, as the Chargers rolled to a 47-16 win over Woodland before an estimated 900 fans in Ansonia.
McKnight, a 5-foot-10 sophomore, surprisingly outdueled the Hawks' Tanner Kingsley. McKnight tossed for 215 yards while Kingsley connected on just 11 of 22 passes for 96 yards and no touchdowns.
Woodland nearly took a lead early in the first quarter but had a drive stall at the Ansonia 9-yard line. That was the Hawks' only chance to make the game interesting.
McKnight and Matos made Woodland's missed opportunity hurt. On second down from their own 20, McKnight took a mini-flea flicker toss from Arkeel Newsome and heaved it to a wide-open Matos, who coasted into the end zone for an 80-yard touchdown and a 6-0 lead.
After forcing a punt, Matos made the play of the night on Ansonia's first play at the Woodland 43. McKnight challenged the Hawks' double coverage on Matos at the goal line, but the 6-foot-1 senior leaped over both defenders to grab the ball before falling into the end zone for his second score.
"Every time the ball's in the air, I'm going to attack it," said Matos, who caught five balls for 177 yards. "That's my job."
The tandem connected one more time with a minute left in the first half when McKnight found Matos on an out-route in the front of the end zone to give Ansonia a 39-0 halftime lead.
McKnight's 215-yard, three-touchdown performance was the best game for an Ansonia quarterback since Taylor King's 212-yard, four-score game against Torrington in 2006.
"He's growing up before our eyes," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "He's going to be a great quarterback. He's light years ahead of where he was a month ago. He shows up, listens and works hard. He's a winner. He wants to compete. He's not afraid to make a play."
Brockett said the passing game's increased prominence in the first two games has to do with McKnight's skill, but more because of his outside weapons, Matos and Ryan O'Connor.
"Those kids on the outside were good last year but they've improved," Brockett said. "Those are dynamic kids on the outside. Andrew Matos has turned into one of the best receivers in Connecticut."
Matos, who had 148 yards and two touchdowns in Ansonia's 66-26 win over Torrington last week, said the Chargers now have confidence to air it out since teams will key on Newsome.
"When the run is getting shut down, we can throw the ball," Matos said. "We have a good quarterback. He was fantastic. He makes the right reads in the secondary, noticing if it's cover-two or cover-three."
Woodland focused its defensive effort on containing Newsome, which worked to some degree. Newsome carried 16 times for 166 yards and three touchdowns, but at one point early in the game he had five carries for one yard.
"We put everybody in the box," Woodland coach Tim Shea said. "Our primary goal was to stop the run and we had to live with it if they threw the ball. Obviously they did. I thought we would have played better in the secondary."
The Hawks' secondary had to deal without Rahmi Rountree, who was suspended after being ejected from the team's Week 1 game at Sacred Heart. Rountree's absence also hurt on offense, as Newsome blanketed Anthony Scirpo, holding him to just one catch for four yards.
Ansonia outgained Woodland 386-110 in the first half and 454-181 overall. Seventy-five of Woodland's 110 first-half yards came on two plays by Joe Fancher that helped the Hawks drive into the red zone. The Chargers maintained the scoreless tie by stopping Kingsley's fourth-down sneak at their own 6.
"We mixed up some of the things we were doing on defense and tried to confuse them a little bit with the looks," Brockett said. "They hurt us on one series but once we were able to adjust to that, we played great for the rest of the half."
Newsome is off to a relative quiet start—in relation to his start last season—to this year. He has 359 yards and eight touchdowns on 25 carries through two games.
"We've never padded one of our running backs' stats," Brockett said. "If he has to carry the ball 55 times next week, we'll do that. It's whatever the game dictates."
While Woodland has next week off, Ansonia hosts Derby in the teams' 90th meeting. Brockett is beginning to see this team's identity differ slightly from last year's dominant group.
"The ability of the guys on the outside to make plays with real good consistency," Brockett said. "Every team is different. These kids have to block out people saying that Ansonia can't get beat. I don't want to hear any of that nonsense."

Since it isn't mentioned, these ARE the extended editions. This is the set for fans of LotR or sword-and-magic type fantasies. If you (or the person you're buying for) aren't huge fans of either though, you might prefer the normal-length movies. Those extra hours of movie aren't for everyone. Personally though, I could never go back to the theatrical releases.
Now, all that said, this is a good price, but Black Friday IS around the corner. There are many more sales to come and this isn't the cheapest I've seen this set. I think I've seen it as low as $35 in the past. This isn't a bad price, but with Black Friday and the Hobbit movie coming soon, it's hard to say what prices will do.
Blu-Ray isn't mentioned either. Okay, just in the tags.
No indication of Blu-ray in the headline, but at least the logo is visible at the top of the product image above.
This set comes with digital download codes (that are NOT HD, but should look fine on your phone), but technically they expired this summer. Not sure how they will work now.
@j0hnlind: The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (The Fellowship of the Ring / The Two Towers / The Return of the King Extended Editions) [Blu-ray] (2012)
I am still waiting to see if Walmart honors the "deal" that was up earlier this fall. They had the new version of the trilogy listed at $9.86. This set includes Hobbit movie bucks. I am pretty sure this was a pricing/ listing error but am hoping they honor the pre-orders they received. Now this is for the theater release not the extended versions. They are currently listed at $29.96. Anyone have any thoughts as to weather Walmart will honor the $9.86 price?
@mnmom2four: Non-extended? Boooo!
If you really want it I would buy at this price. It is no sure thing that this set will be lower on Black Friday or after. I think that $35 price last year was very fleeting. I know I could not get one at that price.
@mnmom2four: I just checked and my order is still in their system. Shows as shipping between 12/06-12/10
@gribber: I nabbed the $35 set at Wal-Mart. I've never seen such a good price since.
@gribber: Also, most of the Black Friday ads are out now, and there's nary a mention of this set.
You can get the non-extended blu-rays for 8.99 each at: http://www.wbshop.com/category/movies+and+tv/all+blu-ray.do?c=102671.138722&+%2410&brand=The+Lord+of+the+Rings&price=Under+%2410&pp=24&sortby=priceAscend
i just joined all six discs of the extended version into one 10+ hour epic to watch on my kindle while hunting this weekend. i may not get a deer, but at least i'll stay awake this year.
Just FYI, this is a slightly different version of the original extended blu-ray release. The original had a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and this one is 1.77. That is the only difference I see. This newer version will fully fill your HDTV losing some content on the edges. The original will give you some black bars on the top and bottom, but you will see the entire picture as it was originally shot. The original is also on Amazon, but at almost double the price.
@danchay: Ahem...
@homiejome: I am roughly 100% certain that is a typo.
I knew there was a reason why I held back on yesterday's Alien Anthology offer, and here it is.
@jackofallgames42: Is this the extended version or the Blu-ray extended version, because the listing states that the run time is 681 minutes and not the 726 minutes of the Blu-ray versions. Does anybody know what version is in this set?
@jeffyn: The title was modified after, and maybe because of, my comment. Thanks.
@mstg: Trust the seller. Amazon says it's the extended editions on Blu-Ray. They say 681 minutes. It's Amazon you'd be buying it from. If you get something other than what is described, Amazon is very good about making things right by their customers. I've had a lot of experience with Amazon and I've never had a problem with Amazon that they didn't fully resolve.

No points at this time.
Back-to-School night at St. Croix Valley Raceway, otherwise referred to as the Crash-Tastic Smash-O-Rama, lived up to its billing and then some with exciting racing and thrilling stunts, Powder Puff, Mechanics and Trailer races.
Clay "Wildman" Gallagher and "The Demolition Devil" Scott Turkiewicz engaged the crowd with a series of stunts that included Turkiewicz's signature Steel Wall performance, a rollover, and a final crash-landing car jump. Gallagher and his son, Zach (aka Captain Crash), smashed through a camper numerous times before their minivan sputtered to a stall. The night ended with the always entertaining, carnage-riddled Trailer races, won by the GTK Services "Thing 1" SUV/trailer combo driven by Ken Bessac. Kids' prizes were awarded on multiple scavenger hunts for the costumed track jester, the fun-loving former racer and track neighbor Skip Lutgen. The kids were also rewarded by yet another Jason Havel win in the Pure Stock division, and true to form, Havel passed out treats after his popular win.
The mind-boggling tenth consecutive win for Havel was no easy feat. As Jon Wigchers proved by besting Havel in heat race, the points leader can be beaten. The season long dominance led to the introduction of a bounty on Havel. Any driver able to beat Havel would receive a $100 addition to their winner's check, but if Havel was able to win from last place, the extra hundred would be awarded to him. In the beginning of the race it was the #4 of pole starting Tony DuBois showing the fast way around the quarter mile. After a pair of cautions, it was a three car battle between DuBois, Havel and Krysta Swearingen as the trio hit the crossed flags three abreast. One lap later Havel took the lead and started to pull away as Swearingen took second and gave chase. For a few laps, Havel stretched his lead, but in the waning laps Swearingen's #03 ride sprang to life. Swearingen quickly and dramatically began to reel in the leader, catching his bumper on the final turn, but she simply ran out of laps to complete her challenge. In the end it was Havel winning by a car length over the Swearingen and pocketing the extra $100. After Swearingen, DuBois, Wigchers, and Jake Silbernagel rounded out the top five. Next week the same bounty system will be in play with an extra $100 to the winner if it is not Havel or the bonus goes to Havel if he wins from the rear.
Next up were the North Branch Shooting Range Future Fours. After an opening lap caution, it was Team Rollover, Damon Roberts and Dylan Roberts, running first and second while Alex Hallin, Chris Rick, Hope Tucker and Oliver Swanson were racing four wide for third. After another quick yellow, Team Rollover was battling over which one should lead when the #20R of Dylan made contact with the #11 of Damon. As Damon Roberts chased his car up the track, Dylan and Rick snuck by, relegating Damon to third. Damon Roberts would have his night end a few laps later after coming together with Nicki DuBois leaving his ride too crippled to continue. The last half of the race finished
up incident free with Roberts cruising to his second consecutive feature win in front of Rick, Swanson, Bob Carver Jr., and DuBois.
Pulling off a seemingly impossible feat, the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds upped the excitement ante even more with yet another four and five wide frenzied affair for the night's largest check. Corey Fogelson and Mitch Weiss brought the field to Shaun Cimfl's waving green and Fogelson immediately jumped to the point. Behind Fogelson, Weiss, Tony Schill, Vince Corbin, John Remington, Kevin Marlett, Jason Schill and Josh Bazey juked, jived, sliced and diced in a mega-dramatic battle for position. Outrunning the beehive behind him, Fogelson began to stretch his lead as the rest of the field thinned from 5-wide battles down to 3-wide battles. During the middle laps Fogelson built up a lead of nearly 50 feet, while the duo of Vince Corbin and Mitch Weiss emerged in a two-car battle for second. Eventually, that duo caught Fogelson and the duel transformed into a three-way battle for the lead. With five laps to go, Corbin finally nudged a bumper out in front of Fogelson, but Fogelson charged right back to lead the next two circuits. After a few more laps the Tony Schill, Jason Schill, Josh Bazey battle caught the lead group creating a new six-car chase for the checkers. Going into turn three on lap nineteen, Jason Schill powered past Fogelson and the race had its third official leader as they took the white flag. Try as he might, Fogelson could not return the favor but still managed his best finish of the season, finishing half a heartbeat behind an elated Schill. Behind the #11x and #11c, Weiss, Corbin, Bazey and Tony Schill crossed the stripe as a frenzied herd in yet another crowd pleasing, caution-free main event.
Next Friday, August 24, features the final installment of the Thunder in the Valley series at St. Croix Valley Raceway. The fifth appearance of winged sprint cars is in addition to the track's regular classes: Future Fours, Pure Stocks, Micro Sprints, Traditional Sprints and WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds.

Let $L:K$ be a field extension. Let $A$ be a set of elements in $L$, all of which are algebraic over $K$. Construct the field extension $M=K(A)$. I have two questions:
[1] Is $M:K$ an algebraic field extension?
[2] Take $\beta\in M$ where $\beta$ is algebraic over $K$. Then $K(\beta):K$ is a finite extension. Can I assert that $\beta$ lies in a finite extension $K(a1,..., an)$ where $a1,..., an\in A$?
Both questions are trivial when $A$ is finite. So assume that $A$ is infinite; indeed assume that $[M:K]$ is infinite. Now what?

Are We Too Sweet? Our Kids' Addiction to Sugar
In This Article:
Unfortunately, as careful as you may be, you may inadvertently be feeding more sugar to your child than you think. According to the AHA, added sugar is defined as any sugar or syrup that is added to foods during processing or preparation, and sugar or syrup that is added at the table during meal times. Soft drinks and sweetened beverages are the number-one culprit in Americans' diets, with one can of soda containing 8 teaspoons and almost 130 calories of sugar. Many brands of children's favorite foods, such as yogurt, cereal, and fruit juice also contain added sugar, which usually make them high in calories and low in nutrition. So how can you curb your child's sugar intake without cutting out all his favorite foods?
To help eliminate health risks due to poor diet, the AHA recommends a diet pattern that is rich in fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, high-fiber whole grains, lean meat, poultry, and fish. KidsHealth from Nemours offers parents some ideas to help your little one eat a healthier diet, and curb the amount of sugar that is going into his mouth. Some helpful tips include:
Naturally sweet snacks are a healthy alternative, since fructose usually packs enough of a punch to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. If your child has a soft spot for sweet treats, try offering him one of the following naturally sweet and healthy snacks:
It may seem impossible to completely cut out added sugar, but choosing healthier alternatives isn't as difficult as it may seem. Also, make sure high-sugar foods are not taking the place of foods with essential nutrients. The AHA recommends using your daily limit of added sugar wisely. For example, if your child wants something sweet, choose a nutrient-rich sweet snack like yogurt or a sugar-sweetened whole grain cereal. Although both of these have added sugar, they also have essential nutrients, unlike a piece of candy. And, of course, be a role model for your child. Leading a healthy lifestyle yourself is a surefire way to help your child grow up to do the same.

Sometimes it is more convenient or beneficial to incapacitate a person rather than letting them go about their business. Sometimes that person is a civilian, which means killing them incurs a massive penalty to my score. It seems most of the available attacks are lethal, what are the way non-lethal ways to take somebody out?
You have several options:
If you have your bare hands equipped and press the action button, you will be prompted to tap a button (X on this Xbox) in order to subdue. This is an alternative to snapping their neck. When you subdue someone, you still lose points as opposed to leaving them but if you hide the body in a bin (dumpster), you will get your points back.
Edit: You lose more points if you kill someone.
You can take people as a human shield even if you have a weapon out, so it's a faster knock out. It does the same thing as subduing but it's faster.

Fortrez Hoody
Buy Now
Built for alpine versatility, the Fortrez Hoody is an alpine essential. The hoody takes full advantage of Polartec® Power Stretch with Hardface® Technology. The fabric is an exceptionally warm fleece with superior abrasion resistant properties, a smooth face that sheds moisture and layers easily, and a high level of versatility that makes it well suited to mixed alpine conditions.
The fit is trim and athletic. By staying close to the body, better thermal efficiency is achieved, and a more rapid transfer of moisture vapour is facilitated. The fit also allows easy layering as conditions change. The hood is streamlined with the stretch in the fabric, allowing it to layer under a helmet or StormHood™. A Phasic™ AR panel is integrated into the hood to be used as a neck gaiter or balaclava.
Arc'teryx knows that ergonomic freedom is essential. Leveraging articulated patterning, underarm gussets and stretch materials, the Fortrez moves with the body. The longer cut and drop back hem stay put under a harness or hip belt. Flatlock construction minimizes seam irritation. The two hand pockets are streamlined, and a small pocket on the sleeve is easily accessible.
