Someone has just given me a free mountain bike (No obvious branding on it, but its got a 21-speed Shimano gear system and a shock absorber between the front and back of the bike in the middle of the chassis). It's been sitting in a shed, un-touched for about 2-3 years.
It's clearly in need of a service (lubricating, replacing the brake cables as their ends are frayed). But is there anything in particular that I should look for which would indicate that it's not worth repairing and that I should give it to someone else for parts?

STEUBENVILLE - The Steubenville High School commons will be the site of dastardly deeds and nefarious going-ons on Saturday.
Thespian members, under the direction of Scott Wolodkin, will present "I'm Getting Murdered in the Morning," an audience participation murder-mystery. Lee Mueller is the playwright, and this will serve as the first theatrical production for the 2012-2013 school year.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. with seating and appetizers beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the commons area. Audience members will attend the wedding reception of Edward Crock and Brenda Anne Marie Montague, a young couple in love. A wedding reception isn't complete without the flower and garter toss, and, of course, a chance to dance with the bride. But what lurks around this reception are murder and mayhem. Audience members will have the opportunity to solve the dastardly crime.
Cast members include senior Ryan Ledakis, Marissa McAllister, Joseph DuBois, Nyasha Jones, Geena Diomedi, Masan Rogers and Shane Fabros. Juniors involved are Dominic Di Carlo, Adam Andresen, Lucy Falls, Brooke Sutherland, Sarah Mamula, Bryan Brown, Joey Nodianos, Katie Ching, Seth Kenefick and Meg Cutler. Technical crew members include Francesca Torini, Shauna Contumelio, Alex Kilonsky, and Brittany Lazasz.
Tickets for the event are $15 per person and include dinner - rosemary chicken, Italian green beans, pasta and meatballs, salad and bread, dessert and a beverage - followed by the performance. No tickets will be sold at the door, and reservations are required. For reservations and tickets, call (740) 282-9741 extension 1149. The reservation deadline is Thursday. The box office will be open in the Crimson Commons from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and reservations can be made in person.

I'm working on a project that uses a dataset produced from software informally licensed as "non-commercial use only". I'm developing an application that uses that dataset as an input to another algorithm. Our own software has a permissive free software license in which we don't restrict commercial usage.
Are there legal implications of using that dataset in our own software in the sense that we are violating a copyright?
Edit: Thanks folks, the ask a lawyer thing is the way to go, but its helpful for me to hear some opinions bounce around.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: December 18, 2005
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of twice-weekly strength training on lymphedema symptoms and arm measurements, as well as quality of life for breast cancer survivors. The knowledge gained from this study may influence exercise recommendations for breast cancer survivors as well as help to promote a healthier lifestyle following treatment of breast cancer.
Lymphedema is one of the most common and often feared conditions associated with breast cancer treatment. There are an estimated 2-400,000 diagnosed cases in the United States. Those who experience lymphedema may have limited movement of their arms, a decrease in muscle strength, and restricted activity in daily life. Survivors may find lymphedema more distressing than a mastectomy as it is more difficult to hide the swelling and limited functioning of the arm.
Although there is no evidence to show that strength training exercise is harmful to breast cancer survivors, current clinical guidelines advise against participating in any vigorous upper body exercise, and in particular, lifting objects that weigh more than 5 to 15 pounds. Strength training can allow women to gradually increase their strength in a supervised setting, making it less likely that daily life activities like shoveling snow or carrying children would harm the lymphatic system and the arm.
Our research study is based on a smaller study involving progressive twice-weekly strength training in 81 recent breast cancer survivors. One group of women performed the strength training exercises for six months compared to a group of women who did not do strength training. In the group of women who did strength training, no one developed lymphedema, or experienced a worsening of symptoms if they had already been diagnosed with lymphedema. This information, along with other research on this topic, tells us that a larger study is needed to look at the effects of twice-weekly progressive strength training on lymphedema symptoms and the lymphatic system, as well as quality of life issues, compared to a non-exercising group of survivors. We will recruit 288 survivors (144 with lymphedema, 144 without lymphedema) 1-15 years post-breast cancer diagnosis to participate in this exercise intervention. The knowledge gained from this study may impact recommendations for therapy, participation in activities of daily living, and recommendations for exercise for health promotion in breast cancer survivors.
This research will take place in the Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area. All participants receive a free one year membership to a gym/fitness center in the metro region, access to a qualified fitness trainer, access to a physical therapist, and financial compensation. We are looking to recruit women who have been diagnosed 1 – 15 years ago and have had at least 2 lymph nodes removed during treatment. For more information about this study, or to see if you are eligible, please contact Amy Rogerino at 215-898-5112 or e mail her at email@example.com.

The Football Nanny State
Despite a Lack of Research, More Critics Say Kids Shouldn't Play
In his 2012 book "Concussions and Our Kids," Boston University neurosurgeon Robert Cantu left little mystery about his tome's intended target: The photo on the cover shows a pack of little kids playing tackle football. Inside its pages, a section heading says: "No tackle football before fourteen."
As the Super Bowl approaches Sunday, this point of view has become an increasingly trendy one. The talk in New Orleans this week, even by some players, has revolved around whether this collision-centric sport can survive without drastic change. And a growing number of people inside and outside the sport are pushing the debate toward children. "If I had a son," President Barack Obama told the New Republic this week, "I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play football."
Recent studies performed on former longtime NFL players have left no doubt that playing professional football can be hazardous to one's brain—and one's future quality of life. But when it comes to the question of whether the sport is dangerous for kids, it's not that the evidence is inconclusive—there's no evidence whatsoever.
The Mayo Clinic has performed two studies on football and kids. In 2002, after examining 915 football players from elementary and middle schools, it concluded: "the risk of injury in youth football does not appear greater than other recreational or competitive sports." Last year, the Mayo Clinic studied 438 men who played high-school football between 1946 and 1956, when headgear was less advanced. That study found no increased risk of dementia, Parkinson's disease or Lou Gehrig's disease among these players compared with their non-football-playing male classmates.
The lack of data isn't a secret: In his book about kids and concussions, Cantu, the neurosurgeon, acknowledged that there aren't enough data to say anything about the long-term effects of football on "these little ones."
Super Bowl XLVII

When Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was asked about the issue this week, he took a different view than many other experts and observers. "They're a bunch of 50-pound or 140-pound kids," he said. "I don't know how much damage they're actually doing to each other."
Kevin Guskiewicz, director of the University of North Carolina's Matthew Gfeller Sport-Related Traumatic Brain Injury Research Center, said the "vast majority" of kids playing in youth football leagues aren't going to have the type of exposure to injury NFL players have. "If you're looking at Junior Seau's situation," Guskiewicz said, referring to the NFL star who recently committed suicide, "he was off the charts in terms of exposure" to head injuries. "He shouldn't be used to compare to the average person."
At the elite levels of sport, head injuries have been a worry for many decades. Studies done on the donated brains of ex-boxers, football players and hockey players—many of whom suffered depression—have shown serious damage can be done by repeated blows to the head. But in the last three years, the debate about football has veered from the dangers facing the pros to the impact on kids.
In October, 2010, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke at a "Keep Youth Sports Safe" conference. He said the league will support laws that bar young athletes from returning to play too soon after a concussion. "The NFL believes we can make sports safer than they are today," he said. The league also worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create posters to educate kids on concussions.
That December, former NFL wide receiver and sportscaster Cris Collinsworth drew a lot of attention when he said publicly that he had doubts about whether his children should play football. Last year, former NFL quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw and Kurt Warner went further, saying they wouldn't want their kids to play. Also last year, Tom Brady Sr., the father of NFL star Tom Brady, caused a stir when he said he would be "very hesitant" to let his son play.
Researchers at Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, where Cantu is a co-director, performed a December 2012 study of 85 brain donors who had played football. It found that some people who never played above the college and high-school level also had signs of the disease. "You can have it at the high-school level, no question," Cantu said in an interview.
Stefan Duma, a Virginia Tech professor who is studying the issue, said it would be "incorrect" to rely too much on small pools of brain donors whose families may have suspected there was something amiss. "There is just so little data," to work with, he said.
There is some research in the works. Researchers are now putting sensors in the helmets of young players to analyze how many hits they take during football games and how forceful they are. Duma, along with researchers at both Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, is conducting a long-term study of how hits to the head affect 119 young football players. Still, Duma said, it may take as many as 20 years to reach a firm conclusion.
Meanwhile, Guskiewicz, the North Carolina expert, encourages children to continue playing contact sports to help them develop proper technique for later years. He worries that football concerns will outweigh those of issues like childhood obesity and diabetes. "If we flat-out begin to eliminate these sports, we're going to run the risk of taking steps backward," he said.
None of this seems to be reducing football's popularity. NFL games accounted for 31 of the 32 most-watched TV shows this past autumn, and the Super Bowl once again is expected be the year's most-watched program.
A spokesman for Pop Warner, the nation's largest youth-football organization, said it had 250,000 tackle-football players in 2011 and that participation hasn't had a year-over-year decline since 2003.
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, more than 1.1 million high-school boys played contact football in the 2011-2012 school year, which makes the game nearly twice as popular as the No. 2 prep sport, outdoor track and field. Participation for high-school football was 1.1 million last year, a decline of 1.2% from 2007-08.
"You know that you have to tackle and you may get hit," says San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman. "That's a choice I made as a child and I'll let my children make their choices."

One of the problems with having a blog is you rarely get a chance to relive old recipes because you always feel like you need to make something new. Tonight Vegan Mom made Tofurky Tettrazini because the kids love it and it is easy and tasty. So, tonight I thought I would do this survey thing that two people have tagged me to do. The point is to relate 5 things about you, then tag 5 people to do the same.
1. I have dual citizenship. I was born in the U.S. but have lived most of my life in Ontario, Canada. I consider myself Canadian, except when I cross the border. Then I wear red, white and blue, set my cell-phone to play "America the Beautiful" when it rings, wave my birth certificate at them, and get waved right through.
2. I went to school for 25 years straight. Of course, I got my PhD in the end, but when you think about being in school from age 5 to 30 it sounds kind of crazy. I didn't get my first "real job" until I was 32. Awesome.
3. I am not cool. I have tried to be cool, wished I was cool, sometimes deluded myself into thinking I was cool, but never have obtained coolness. When people describe me, cool is not one of the adjectives they use. Punctual? Yes. Cool? No.
4. I love ABBA. (See #3)
5. I live a remarkably clean life. I have never been drunk; ingested, shot up, or smoked any controlled or illicit substance; or done anything remotely criminal. (See #3)
I am tagging: Two Vegan Sisters, Vegan Family Dinners, The Happy Herbivore, Veganalects, and Something About Penguins. I was going to tag Isa, but then totally chickened out.

so how do you do the voting thing? I was under the impression that to vote in the US you had to denounce any other allegiences. My grampa was a dual too-until my mom was born and he decided US was the way to be. Since I am from another planet (hubby's words) am I a dual too? I have been waiting for the mothership for so long-maybe she is lost.

Picture the Future
Artist Chris Gwaltney opened his Emerald Bay home to 70 special guests to welcome the Ryman Arts program to Orange County. And it was, indeed, cause for celebration—the move means that O.C.'s crop of budding artists will now benefit from the professional-level training that the organization has been offering to L.A.-based teens for more than 20 years. "There are so many students who have the talent and drive to really make it in a creative profession, but the current education system doesn't provide them with what they need. That's where Ryman Arts comes in," says Diane Brigham, the program's executive director. Now that's painting the picture of a bright future! Photos by Asef Quader

If a hockey player is skilled enough and destined for more than just their local rink or bantam practice, there always comes a time when a choice must be made: College hockey or major juniors? The choice is one that runs on an endless cycle every year, never slowing. Every player makes a decision, and every player does it for different reasons.
Signed as a free agent this summer by the Rampage, blueliner Denny Urban is no stranger to the NCAA vs. major junior debate. The 25-year-old Pittsburgh native chose to go the collegiate route, spending four full seasons with the Robert Morris University Colonials, a Division I program based in Urban's hometown. An accounting major, Urban wore the "A" his senior year, and is atop the RMU scoring charts by a defenseman, tallying 112 points in 136 career games.
Though many players choose to skip over college and go straight to juniors, the allure of the NCAA has grown brighter in recent years. NHL staples like Kevin Bieksa, Ryan Miller, Martin St. Louis, Jonathan Toews, and Jonathan Quick all spent time in Division I programs, benefiting from the extra years of development as well as the added bonus of receiving an education.
After scoring a shootout goal in Wednesday's Silver and Black scrimmage, Urban shed some light on why he chose college, and how he's adjusted his game to stay ahead.
San Antonio Rampage: Why did you choose to complete your college education instead of going the major junior route?
Denny Urban: I just wanted to make sure I have a fallback plan. You're not going to be able to play hockey your whole entire life, so I just wanted to make sure I went to school and had a degree in case hockey didn't work out.
SAR: You're physically a little smaller than your average defenseman at 5-foot-10. How does that affect your game and what have you done to kind of work around that and show that it doesn't really matter?
DU: Probably the biggest thing was, you know, it took me a little while to figure out that I wasn't going to be able to outmuscle the bigger guys. I had to use my quickness and ability and beat guys to where they wanted to go. I can't outmuscle everyone, but being smaller and quicker, you can beat guys to the position. That's a way that I feel like I try to defend – take away the guy's ice and try to beat him with my quickness.
SAR: How did it feel out there today in the scrimmage?
DU: It felt pretty good. We're learning new systems, [there's] a lot of new faces. Lot of guys playing with new people that they've never played with before, so I think it was a step in the right direction. We did well, and I think more great things will come.
SAR: Your shootout goal must have felt nice.
DU: Yeah, it was. It was pretty nice. I just closed my eyes and shot.
SAR: What is your favorite hockey memory?
DU: It would probably have to be my junior year in college [at Robert Morris University]. We played the number one ranked team, Miami of Ohio. They're a big name school, and Robert Morris is pretty small. They came down to Pittsburgh, we beat them there. People were saying that maybe it was a fluke, but then we went up to Miami and swept them. Sweeping the number one team in the nation really put us on the map and really helped out the program.

To the editor:
I will try to keep this letter short and to the point.
In response to Bill Kopras' letter to the editor of Oct. 28 ("Voters should clean house"), it is pretty obvious that he is "all wet."
The Smithfield water issue came about because of poor management by the Smithfield administration. Water was being sent to the village and was not being paid for, so Jefferson County had to take over. After all, you can't shut off the water to a village as a whole. It makes sense to take it over to start collecting for the water that is sent there. I didn't see 7,000-plus water customers objecting to this takeover, as was claimed. It also opens the path for supplying those in the outlying area that have petitioned for water for many years.
Regarding purchase of the Towers building, it would make sense if the money saved on rent, leases and operating expenses being spent right now at many sites throughout the county, would pay for the mortgage for this purchase. Research is currently in process to determine this. If, and only if, this proves to be worthwhile could the purchase happen.
Also, in support of researching the Towers purchase, I personally watched a partially disabled elderly person walk a full block through the alley to the courthouse so that person could pay their taxes (yes, some folks do this in person), pay the taxes, then walk all the way back, just because there is no parking around the courthouse. The sight was agonizing. I think they deserve better.
It is an affront to accuse the use of nationality or ethnicity in the argument.
In my 70-plus years in Jefferson County, this is the first board of commissioners that has performed honestly and openly, let's keep it that way.

Is there a difference between hypnotic and hypnotizing? I believe they are synonyms but I think of hypnotic as being more metaphorical, and hypnotizing as being used, at least sometimes, as a clinical (or at least factual, non-metaphorical) term.

"Hypnotic" is a standard adjective, while "hypnotizing" is an adjective that has been created out of a verb, which is called a "participle adjective".
What that means, is that something that has the potential to induce hypnosis (literal or figurative) would be considered "hypnotic", whereas something that is "hypnotizing" is currently in the process of hypnotizing (in the verb sense, figuratively or literally) something.
The above phrase indicates a quality in a person's gaze, in that it has the potential to entrance someone.
This phrase, on the other hand, indicates that the narrator (or the character in context) is actually caught in the trap, entranced by the hypnotic gaze — or rather, that the gaze is in the process of entrancing the narrator.
There is no real reason why one should be considered more metaphorical than the other, although it could be argued that "hypnotizing" is the more common term in the literal sense, simply because it is easier to factually identify an action, rather than a vague property. Whether or not that is the case, I do not know — in truth, I always thought that "hypnotic" was the more common word.

LICE!!! What's a way to kill them? - 10-01-2007, 07:56 PM
Lately, I've been hearing alot of people tell me their stories about lice. I thought it was a bit weird, having little bugs crawl on your head.
Just in case, what's a good way to get rid of them?
Get a chemical headlice shampoo from the chemist, or if you prefer a natural alternative, get tea tree oil. Follow the instructions; usually, you have to leave it on the child's head for a certain time. Then take a fine toothed comb and comb thru the hair. The lice will come away on the comb, as will the "nits"; the egg cases. Comb til none come away. You might want to repeat this the next day, just in case.
By the way, there is nothing dirty about headlice; they're attracted to clean hair, NOT dirty hair. Kids get them a lot, cuz kids are always putting their heads together and touching each other's hair.
Like Miranda said, you can get a medicated shampoo and wash them out, but you can only do this every couple of weeks or it'll burn your scalp. Your other option that I know my mother uses is to douse one's head in mayonnaise, then cover it with a shower cap and leave it there. The process is meant to suffocate them because they won't be able to move, but it takes hours and smells bad afterwards. After whatever treatment you use, you need to comb out the nits and eggs, but be warned that a comb never gets out everything. In fact, you might be forced to pick every single one out by hand. I know, I had to do it to my ex-stepsister when she got it because her hair was so thin and it simply went through the comb, eggs and all.
Also, if you get lice, you'll have to treat all the fabrics in your house that you have touched by washing them or spraying them with special lice spray.
Av & Sig Credit: Me
This is greatt~
Because right now my sister has lice. XDD
She was really surprised cuz she washes her hair every. friggin. day.
And she checked me just in case she got them from me...
But nope.
I had nones. x3
T_T My sister's already done the shampoo treatment twice, so anyone have any other suggestions..?
Last time I got lice I had to cut my hair VERY short, take two baths every day with head and shoulders [soak it in for 30 mins], and dye my hair [hey, it's chemical. Chemical kills. =3].
My sister refuses to do any of this. XD
Edit: BTW. I only had to do that because we were at England, and we didn't know how to treat lice. So mom just decided to make me do that...Because in Thailand, when she was a kid, she did stuff like that. T_T
lice is pretty bad i got it when i was like 10 and i had it for like a year cause i was little and i didnt know what to do and my mom didnt really do anything about it so one time when we went on vacation we shampoed all of our heads and combed them with lice combs and because we were gone for like a month all the bugs that were on the beds and pillows and stuff died cause they die in two weeks without any heads to live on and we sprayed everything in the hotel and we finally got rid of it
it was a very hard thing to do but we finally did it. im so glad we finally did cause it really sucks

All Rise...
Judge Erich Asperschlager has never been challenged to a break dance battle but he always carries around cardboard, just in case.
The Charge
"I don't think Thierry played by the rules. But there aren't supposed to be any rules."
The Case
Graffiti has come a long way from the days of stylized names and break dance battle backdrops. The modern Street Art movement is made up of a collection of artists who use other people's property as canvases for their icons, illustrations, and political messages. Although no less annoying to uptight law-abiding folks who consider it vandalism, the best of the best take full advantage of the cover of night to make some of the most interesting contemporary art. One of the most famous street artists is a British bloke who goes by the name "Banksy," a man of mystery whose identity remains a secret, even as some of the art world's most serious collectors snap up his work.
Narrated by Rhys Ifans, the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop is "a Banksy film," though most of it is focused on Thierry Guetta, an obsessive filmmaker who shot hundreds of hours of footage of the most important and influential street artists plying their trade, before setting down the camera and becoming a minor art celebrity himself under the moniker "Mr. Brainwash." Since the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, Exit's truthfulness has been called into question. Is "Mr. Brainwash" ("MBW" for short) just a character created by Banksy to poke fun at the art world, or is he the real deal? Is the story of his rise to fame, including the massive exhibitions that made him rich, all an elaborate ruse? Who knows—but the story sure is fascinating to watch.
Even if Guetta isn't fictional, he's still a character. A balding and slightly overweight Frenchman with an old-timey wraparound mustache, Thierry does everything with gusto. Whether scaling rooftops in the dark to get the perfect shot, pretending to be assembling footage for a movie, or abandoning his wife and kids for the umpteenth time to go halfway around the world, he's fully invested. That the art Guetta ends up making isn't all that original is overshadowed by the enthusiasm with which he hires other people to make it.
Besides the story of Thierry and the movie he tells everyone he's making (but really isn't), Exit Through the Gift Shop is a whirlwind history of street art—from its simple graffiti beginnings to the ambitious drawings, posters, and sculptures that led to a host of gallery exhibitions and big bucks. It profiles such oddly named luminaries as Space Invader (Thierry's cousin, whose mosaics based on old video games got MBW into the street art world), Neckface, Sweet Toof & Cyclops, Swoon, Borf, Buffmonster, and Shepard Fairey—who gets a good chunk of the non-Thierry screentime. Fairey is best known these days for his Obama "HOPE" poster and the copyright lawsuit that followed when an AP photographer claimed he based the print on one of his pictures (which, given the highly illegal nature of street art, is kind of like getting mad at a burglar for tracking mud in your house).
This is "a Banksy film," though, and even when it's supposedly about Thierry, or the other street artists, it's really about him. True to his secretive nature, Banksy spends the whole movie with a hood covering his face and his voice altered so all you can really tell for sure is that he's British. That's fine, because his work speaks for itself. Full of biting humor and political satire, Banksy's stenciled graffiti and sculptural projects are in a class by themselves. Then again, maybe that's just what Banksy wants us to think. Given the ambiguity surrounding the creation of this film, it's hard to tell. The only thing that's for certain is that Exit Through the Gift Shop does a good job of selling the audience on all things Banksy.
Exit Through the Gift Shop comes in 80 percent recycled folded cardboard packaging, with collectible paper sunglasses modeled after Banksy's iconic rat image, two window decals, and two picture postcards featuring one piece by Banksy and one by MBW. The on-disc extras kick off with a 13-minute documentary about Banksy and his work, called "B Movie." It's a fun overview of some of his most famous work, including his stencils, the skewed classical-style paintings that he snuck into the Tate museum and stuck up on the walls, and a parody of Paris Hilton's CD that he "reverse shoplifted" onto record shop shelves.
The longest extra is a 15-minute "lawyer's cut" of Life Remote Control, the ADD film that Thierry made when pressed to assemble his footage. It's just long enough to make you think it's real, and just short enough to seem like part of the potential put-on (especially when the original is supposedly a full 90 minutes).
Wrapping up the bonus features are five short deleted scenes, and "A Star is Born," a 7-minute look at MBW's participation in street art's "Cans Festival" (in which he once again gets other people to do his work for him). The movie and all of the extras are presented in 1.78:1 widescreen, assembled from a variety of source materials, much of it shot in low light. The picture quality isn't going to win any awards, but given the subject matter, a reference-quality presentation would be odd. The feature has a 5.1 surround track that's perfectly acceptable given the documentary format.
Exit Through the Gift Shop doesn't end the argument about graffiti's status as art, but it does argue that the best street artists are doing some of the most important and interesting work today. Mr. Brainwash might be real, or he might not, but he provides an intimate look into a shadowy world few people ever see, in a documentary helmed by an artist whose identity we may never know as anything other than "Banksy."

I say it's art! Not guilty!

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Protesters at an anti-government rally have clashed with police in the Pakistani capital.
Television footage showed police shooting into the air to push back protesters early Tuesday.
The demonstration was led by a cleric who recently returned from Canada and has galvanized Pakistanis by railing against a government that many feel is deeply corrupt.
During a speech to supporters early in the morning in Islamabad, cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri called on the government to resign.

Is there a general method to prove that an infinite subgroup of a group has finite index? Or, in other words, to prove that the quotient group is finite? I am particularly interested in classical groups, such as GL(n), SL(n), etc, over a nonarchimedean local field but I am looking for a general method, if there exists one.
closed as too broad by YCor, Chris Godsil, Yemon Choi, abx, Stefan Kohl Jan 10 '15 at 17:33
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This is a somewhat tautological answer, but: if you can show that the subgroup contains the kernel of a finite representation (i.e. a homomorphism to a finite group), you're done. Intuitively: "I only need a finite number of things to go my way in order to belong to this subgroup."
If the group (or some representation of that group) is compact in some topology, and the subgroup contains the connected component of the identity (or an open neighbourhood of the identity), you're also done.
For this type of problem, "general methods" tend to be quite general indeed, but here are two ideas:
1) Find an action of $G$ on a finite set $X$ and an element $x \in X$ such that $H$ is the stabilizer of $x$. Then, by the Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem, $G/H$ is isomorphic to the orbit space $Gx$, so is finite.
2) Find a finite group $X$ and a homomorphism $f: G \rightarrow X$ such that $H$ contains the kernel of $f$. Then $f: G/\operatorname{ker}(f) \hookrightarrow X$, so $\operatorname{ker}(f)$ has finite index, so $H$, which contains $\operatorname{ker}(f)$, has finite index.
Note that both of these will, in principle, always work. In Case 1, take $X = G/H$. In Case 2, let $H' = \bigcap_{g \in G} gHg^{-1}$ be the normal core of $H$. It is easy to show that (since $H$ has finite index), $H'$ is a finite index normal subgroup of $G$ which is contained in $H$. Take $X = G/H'$ and $f$ to be the quotient map.
I'm not sure if you're interested in classical groups over Q_p or over Z_p; in the latter case, one can often show that a closed subgroup H of G is in fact the whole group G once you know it projects surjectively onto some explicit finite quotient of G. See, for instance, [IV.3.4, Lemma 3] of Serre's "Abelian l-adic representations and elliptic curves." I explain how this works for GL_n (this is definitely not original to me, I just wanted the paper to be self-contained) in Lemma 3 of this paper about K3 surfaces.
Of course this won't work unless you know for some reason that H is closed; for instance, two random elements of GL_2(Z_p) will (I think) almost always generate a (discrete) free subgroup of GL_2(Z_p) which is dense, i.e. which projects surjectively onto every finite quotient, but which is obviously not finite-index.
From a computational perspective, you could try coset enumeration (or Knuth-Bendix) over the candidate subgroup (starting with generators given in terms of a known presentation of the overgroup). If it terminates, then the subgroup has finite index.
I often try to show that a subgroup contains another subgroup known to be of finite index. There are various refinements. One technique is to prove that your subgroup contains an intersection of a finite number of subgroups, each of which is known to have finite index. For example, suppose you know that the central quotient G/Z(G) of a group G is finite. (One way to show this is to show that G is a union of finitely many abelian subgroups.) If it is too hard to show that your subgroup H contains the centre, but you can show that H contains the intersection of Z(G) with the derived subgroup [G,G] of G, then the index of H in G is finite.
Another idea is to try to show that (e.g.) every nilpotent quotient of your group is finite, and then show that your subgroup must contain some term of the lower central series. (You could replace nilpotent with soluble and the LCS with the derived series, and so on.)
This may not count as a general method; perhaps it is more of a "trick", but I've seen it used to good effect in proving some commutativity theorems for groups and rings. If you can show that your subgroup is a union of (at most) two subgroups known to have finite index, then you are done.
You could try computing the virtual cohomological dimension of the ambient group, and then the subgroup. If they're torsion free, you only need to know the cohomological dimensions, as a theorem of Serre tells you that a torsion free group and its finite index subgroups have the same dimension. (You'd be surprised how often this works.)
I am not fully sure if you also include this type of groups but considering $\mathbb Q$ as an abelian group and a subgroup $\mathbb Z$, then the order $|\mathbb Z|$ is obviously infinite and so does the index $[\mathbb Q : \mathbb Z]=\infty $. This can be shown by the following :
If an abelian group $H<\mathbb Q$ is a subgroup of $\mathbb Q$ and the index $[\mathbb Q : H]=n < \infty $, then the order of the quotient group $\mathbb Q /H$ is $n$. That is, for any element $x\in \mathbb Q$ of $\mathbb Q$, $n\cdot x \in H$. This implies that $H=\mathbb Q$ as for any $x\in \mathbb Q$, $x/n \in \mathbb Q$, so that $n \cdot x/n = x \in H$. Hence all subgroups of abelian group $\mathbb Q$ are of infinite index.

Those gingerbread houses are adorable- even better decorated, I bet! Yeah, since last year I've used graham crackers to make gingerbread houses, and my 7-year old nephew loves to build & decorate them. It's so much easier to set-up and no baking involved! I posted it on my blog this year, if you'd like to check 'em out. Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that the Vegan Roast didn't turn out. I was going to make it, but due to some turn in events due to the snow, I never did. Kind of happy I didn't now though. =P Oh well, even though I have yet to try them, your "roasts" look so much better anyway, especially the recipe for Seitan stuffed with rice and chestnuts. Mmm.

7 Best and Worst Sugar Substitutes
A sugar substitute can help keep you in your skinny jeans, but it may be harming your health. Here's the scoop on the best -- and worst -- sugar substitutes
The scary news didn't stop new sugar swaps from hitting the shelves: NutraSweet, Equal and Splenda all promise us zero calories and the same sweet taste as the white stuff. But nutritionists aren't as keen on these sugar substitutes as we are. Researchers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. found that lab animals given foods sweetened with an artificial sweetener gained more weight than those who consumed sugar. The reason? Sugar substitutes give a shot of sweet taste with zero calories, which confuses the body. When we taste something sweet without getting the expected calories that come with that flavor, it actually makes us hungrier. So we eat more -- and pack on the pounds.
Skip ahead to see the best and worst sugar substitutes now.
Even natural sugar substitutes, which contain fructose, can wreak havoc on our health if we overindulge. "Very high doses of fructose may have a negative impact on the liver, and high dietary fructose is associated with metabolic syndrome, obesity, heart disease and type II diabetes," says Robin Foroutan, MS, RD, integrative nutritionist and communications chair for Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Medicine.
But let's face it: Living life without sugar isn't feasible. And with all kinds of sneaky sources of sugar (it's in ketchup, soy milk, tomato sauce and a laundry list of other foods you wouldn't expect) it's easy to overdo it. If you take your coffee with a teaspoon or two of the white stuff, you might want to reach for a sugar substitute every now and then. What's more, most sugar substitutes won't cause a spike in blood sugar levels, so you can sidestep the low energy and brain fog that usually follows a sweet treat.
Enter this list of the best and worst sugar substitutes out there. We asked dieticians to fill us in on the ones that aren't doing anything for our health, and the ones that (in moderation) are actually good for us.

The Splenda website and anti-Slenda websites all agree there's chlorine in Splenda. Chlorine is naturally occuring in a number of healthy foods, and is actually good for you this way. However, the Splenda process selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. I have reservations about this being "natural" or truly a healthy thing, though in fairness, Splenda doesn't claim to be "natural". I guess someday we'll find out more, like we did with Nutra-Sweet. Even Truvia is really Stevia and Splenda combined, simply put. Still, I'll use Splenda in moderation. I love honey, too... it's the bees knees! ;) And 100% real maple syrup to sweeten lemonade is amazing!

I have to disagree with agave nectar being a great sweetener. I used it for a month without changing anything else in my diet and I gained 3 pounds! So much for better tasting greek yogurt. I now use 100% organic stevia extract.

I love honey but I only use it in things where I'll actually be able to taste the flavor of the honey. Most of the time I'll use Splenda instead, but I think I'll switch to Truvia in the future. I tried Agave Nectar but it's quite high calorie!

I love salmon and have been hoping to find a good weeknight dinner recipe using canned boneless skinless sockeye since it's much less expensive than fresh salmon filet. This was a *total* home run. I followed the instructions exactly the first time, but in subsequent rounds I have started to omit the onion and saute the patties in a minute amount of butter brushed on both sides (less than 1 tsp. per patty). I think it helps the patties stick together to let the mixture sit for ten minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb a bit of moisture , but the staying-together issue has been a little hit or miss for me. I didn't make the sauce, I was happy with the patties and a simple salad on their own. I also tried this with chopped raw shrimp and it was awesome, too. This kind of find is exactly why I love EatingWell!
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
117 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
I loved these! They were very easy to make. If you are a squeamish person beware with the canned salmon, you really have to get your hands dirty picking out the bones and spines but it's really not that gross.
I was afraid these would be really dry because the mix seemed that way but I made them exactly as prescribed and they came out perfect.
The creamy dill sauce is a MUST to accompany them, though. I made extra, and added a little salt to that as I thought it needed it.
Definitely making again!
i made these tonight, i am from florida so i love sea food and made these with Manhattan clam chowder soup, they were good. i think i made them a little too thin but i did everything the recipe says except no parsley, i added the veggies in raw like the one person suggested and added one tablespoon mayo like another suggested. unfortunately i only had butter and no olive oil tonight so thats what i seared the bottoms of the cakes with in the pan. olive oil would have been much better and then when it says to flip them over onto the baking sheet i didn't understand if they meant the side already seared in the pan or the raw side up so i did half and half and the half that i had already cooked faced down didn't stick so that was a plus. i think an addition of some olive oil and salt right into the mix would be good. but all the bread crumbs were needed to make it all stick together. so anyways all in all they were really good healthy home made salmon cakes.
To overcome the dryness, use crumbled crackers (yes, there are whole wheat ones) and soak them in milk, just enough so the crackers soak it up and are moist. You can use breadcrumbs if you wish, but my family used crackers. Love salmon cakes!
These comments were great because they addressed a couple of problems I have had in the past when fixing salmon patties. I'll use their suggestions tonight and hope to overcome the drynessissue by adding liquid from the can and the holding together issue by rolling in breadcrumbs. In the past I rolled them in seasoned flour. I've also found that putting the patties in the frig for a while before frying/baking helps them hold together better.

Impossible! Guns are banned in schools!
Or, maybe criminals ignore laws and do whatever they want, no matter how heinous or irrational. But, the law abiding victims are dead because they were denied access to legal self defense tools.
(NOTE: In Utah, law abiding people with concealed carry permits are allowed to carry concealed self defense guns in schools. Criminals and crazies should know that...)

Let's hope the next generation can get some kind of hold on this.
Years ago there were numerous hospitals (Charter Canyon Hospitals was one group...we medical professionals did rotations there). These hospitals, throughout the country specialized in working with mentally ill individuals. Suddenly funding from insurance companies and other sources vanished and these hospitals disappeared.
The entertainment industry glamorizes weapons in all aspects of media. Who will change this?
The emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, those starving for attention, and those fascinated with the macho gun culture will continue to cause horror, death and destruction til something changes.

First of all this is really sick, but if those planning on committing the crime knew others were armed in most cases the crime would not be committed. For Marist, killings are committed more with hands, bats, knives, chains, cars, etc. Do ban everything, if so vehicles should be the first to go.

Clubs and knives kill more people than guns each year. Should we have
background checks and remove every club and knife in the country along with
guns? I wonder if this person used marijuana before. Then we can pin marijuana

Since the begining of time, mankind has always found a way to kill each other. Take away the gun, they'll move to explosives, take that away they'll steal a truck and run over people, take that away they'll used rocks, ropes, nails, poisons, illegal weapons etc.

It's useless to respond by condemning the attacker. Instead, we need to ask
why there are so many such people. What is it about life in our society that
creates so many deranged shooters?
I suggest that one problem is a sense of being abandoned. Often, shooters turn out to be people who fell through the cracks; who lacked a sense of belonging in society. They feel ignored, so they do something heinous to ensure that the world pays attention to them.
Why is this problem so common? I think it correlates with the decline of community, broadly speaking--such as close-knit neighborhoods and churches. Certainly mental health and other factors play a role, but those have always been with us. The problems turn deadly when the emotionally disturbed lack a support network.
We don't know much about the shooter yet. I'll see whether my theory is supported in this case, too.

As long as we refuse to commit to institutions individuals with mental illness
we will continue to see this happen. The pharmaceutical companies have done
much to help manage mental illness with medication. However, there are many,
many cases where patients refuse to consistently take their medication, or where
the medication actually causes homicidal and suicidal acts, and many more
patients need to be institutionalized.
We need to change laws back to an allowance of mental illness commitments. We have had several murders in Utah in the past 2 months by mentally ill people who have killed their family members (usually mothers, dads, spouses and grandparents who they live with). These poor families are left with no where to turn for their own safety. We are all at risk. We need new laws and new facilities for the mentally ill, and taxpayers are going to have to fund it. It is that or be subject to this type of tragedy happening to our children and ourselves.

Oxford wideout can be a game-changer
OXFORD — One play last season defined Oxford High's Chris VanKamerik as not only a gifted wide receiver but a strong-willed person.
On a wet, slippery, dirt and grass field, VanKamerik culminated a 55-yard touchdown reception by stumbling the final 20 yards with defenders draped over him with just a minute left on the clock against New Fairfield last October.
After the score, the Wolverines were still down a point. But fullback Jeff Haney caught Brennen Diaz's two-point conversion pass for a 22-21 win. Looking back on that catch-and-run, VanKamerik called it his favorite career highlight to date.
"It was just all instincts," said VanKamerik. "I really didn't think too much. I just ran the route and was hopeful that I would catch the ball. Every time I look at the game film, it was clearly the best football play I've ever made."
The 5-foot-10, 155-pound senior says he will be hard-pressed to top that.
"Without a doubt, the running backs and line benefit when a deep ball rests in Chris' hands and he runs for a score," said Haney. "It gives us a chance to rest after a long series. Chris is a game-changer. We've seen him do that so many times."
Wolverines quarterback Kyle Chudoba agreed.
"Chris is lightning fast (4.44 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and just burns by defenders," said Chudoba. "He has such great hands and sees every ball right into his hands. Hopefully, I can get
See OXFORD, Page 8B
him the ball, so he can make big plays. The biggest thing about him is that he never gets rattled. He's always cool, calm and collected. That quality rubs off on his teammates. Chris is a leader by example, and he thrives to be the best. The other players see the way he is, and they strive to be just like him."
As a junior, VanKamerik recorded 60 catches for 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns, helping the Wolverines to an 8-2 record, the best mark in the five-year varsity history of the program and a huge improvements from 3-7 in 2011.
Back when VanKamerik was an incoming freshman, VanKamerik dressed for varsity occasionally. He had just one reception for a total of 7 yards and couldn't recall which opposing team the catch was made against.
"Dressing for a varsity game was a big deal," said VanKamerik. "Even though it was a small role, I looked at it as an accomplishment, knowing that I would probably play a bigger role as a sophomore."
When VanKamerik played in the Seymour Pop Warner program, he started off as a running back, moved to tight end and then quarterback for the junior midget team that advanced to the state championship game, losing to Wolcott.
After playing quarterback, VanKamerik gained a lot of respect for the role and responsibility that signal-callers have.
"Quarterbacks face so much pressure and need to have a better knowledge of the game and need to know what everyone else is doing, not just themselves," VanKamerik.
As soon as he arrived at Oxford a year later, coach Joe Stochmal slotted VanKamerik to his natural position, putting him at ease. He's thrived ever since.
Still, VanKamerik considers himself just a piece of the puzzle for Stochmal and offensive coordinator Bob Kelo, not the primary one. The Wolverines' offense is filled with talent, consisting of receivers Kevin Loschiavo and Eric Jensen and running backs Steve Persson, Marcus Esteves and Haney.
The only missing pieces from last year's offense are Diaz, a Class S All-State selection, and offensive guard Bucky Gumbrewicz, who graduated. They were co-captains.
"We're all on the same page and getting better," said VanKamerik. "Coach Kelo says that everything on the football field is about timing, and we are perfecting our routes and everything that we do."
Not leaving anything to chance is a part of the Wolverines' way these days after narrowly missing out on the playoffs last season by percentage points. They also learned a harsh reality when teammate Brandon Giordano died from injuries sustained as a passenger in a car accident in April 2012. Giordano's 17th birthday would have been last week, prompting Chudoba to post a Twitter message to the "Big guy in the sky."
"That reminder has made us stronger, and Brandon has given us another thing to play for," said VanKamerik. "We found out that one second you're here, the next second you may not be, and that something terrible can happen."

It's quite obvious from this thread that we should be doing a better job to point out the differences for people who take a quick look at it and come to the same conclusion as yourself. So we will look at adjusting how we present it and point out the work involved in it.
We do plan on creating other themes, maybe we'll look at doing a metro style one in the future. We have already discussed creating the bootstrap theme for the ExtJS community and have scheduled it for later in the year providing time allows.

Cliifton theme
Wedgybo, for what it's worth, I noticed the differences from the standard Ext JS theme right away. That's the reason the Clifton theme caught my eye: it's one of the few Ext 4 themes I've seen that doesn't just modify colors but also changes the widget styles. For example, the checkboxes and radio buttons no longer look like they've been lifted straight out of Windows Vista -- that's always a point of irritation for my Mac users.
If you're considering other themes to work on in the near future, I'd suggest that you consider trying to (re)produce the original Neptune theme that Sencha hinted at in this blog post: http://www.sencha.com/blog/ext-js-4-...r-more-stable/
I really liked the soft, subtle look of that theme, as opposed to the brightly-colored, blocky look of the new theme that they're also calling "Neptune" in the Kitchen Sink demo.

It means a lot to me ccg, thanks!
Yea we have a few styles up our sleeve we would like to try next. A metro style one like has been suggested in the past is on the cards. Also having a look at producing a bootstrap one as an open source project.
I'll take a look into that older neptune theme. I must admit I'm not too keen on how the latest version of its turned out either.

I am working on a metro theme for Ext JS 4. I will hopefully have it avaliable for download by the end of the month on my blog http://leonpanjtar.eu/web-design-blog for free of course.

Thought I'd update this thread as I mentioned we were working on it.
We've just released the Bootstrap theme for ExtJS here. http://bootstrap.newbridgegreen.com It's up on GitHub for everyone to access, so get forking and help us making it awesome!
If a mod reads this. Sorry for trying to create a new post twice. I didn't catch the first message saying it needed to be moderated first. Got the message second time around
