In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I would like to run scripts after resuming from suspend, and after unlocking my desktop. These need to run as my user, and with access to my $DISPLAY.
In particular, I would like to
- restart nm-applet to work around bug 985028
- show a custom notification using notify-send
- possibly other stuff when I get these working
When I resume, scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ are run, but they run as root, without knowledge of my screen and username. It might work if I would hard code my username and export the default DISPLAY :0 in these scripts, but that feels like a very ugly hack.
Scripts in ~/.config/autostart/xyz.desktop, run after login, but they don't run after merely unlocking the screen after resume.
Is there a way to run scripts after unlocking the screen after a resume?

Hello, I recently had some strange behavior from the nxj compiler. After de-compiling the classes.jar, I found out why.
In the official JDK, the String class provides the "String[] split(String)" and the "String[] split(String, int)" methods.
These seem to be missing from "String.class" in classes.jar.
Does the nxj compiler use the JDK or classes.jar?

Recent Upstart has these new fancy systemd-like features of starting jobs on incoming connection via socket-bridge. I'd like to start my sshd upon first connection to port 22.
I now have:
start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=22 in my ssh.conf and I have upstart-socket-bridge and upstart-udev-bridge jobs running.
The ssh job starts OK when I connect to my box on port 22 but sshd doesn't talk back to me. Its as if it doesn't receive it and cannot accept it. Retrying to connect will not help, even sshd is now running and should be accepting the connections normally. Upstart is still messing with it!
When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the job in question to allow it to accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket.
Does that mean that to take advantage of this, ssh needs specific support to passing socket FD? IF that is the case, it kinda spoils all the fun :/

This "Helpful Facts" sheet is designed to give you basic information on mammography. More detailed information can be provided by your doctor or nurse. If you have other questions or would like additional information please talk to your doctor or nurse.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a safe, low-dose X-ray procedure that produces pictures of the inside of the breasts. Mammography can detect some suspicious breast changes that are too small or too deep to be felt on breast examination.
How effective is a mammogram in diagnosing breast cancer?
Mammography is considered the best method available today to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most curable stage. Early detection is the best weapon since breast cancer is most treatable when discovered early.
Is there a risk in having a mammogram?
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays, so there should not be a risk from radiation exposure.
What happens during the mammogram?
During the mammogram, each breast is placed between two hard surfaces that are attached to an X-ray machine. The breasts are pressed firmly while the X-rays are being taken. This compression is necessary to view all of the breast tissue. Typically, two or three pictures are taken of each breast.
Will the mammogram hurt?
Although you may find the pressure on your breast to be somewhat uncomfortable, it takes only a few seconds for each picture. If you are feeling anxious or experience discomfort, talk to the technologist. She will make you as comfortable as possible and can answer any questions you may have.
How long does the procedure take?
The entire mammography procedure takes about 15 minutes.
Why do I need to wait after the procedure?
The technologist will immediately process your mammogram films. If the films are fuzzy or less readable than needed, it may be necessary to repeat some views.
Why is it helpful to bring older mammograms that were done elsewhere?
The breast radiologist can compare the old pictures with the new ones to determine if there are any significant changes in your breast tissue.
Who reads mammograms at Penn?
At Penn, we have a team of full-time, dedicated breast radiologists who will review your mammograms.
When do I learn my results?
A report of your mammogram results will be sent to your referring physician shortly after your visit. In some cases, the radiologist may discuss the results with you at the time of your study. However, for routine screening studies, the radiologist will not discuss the results but you will receive a letter in the mail telling you the results of the mammogram. In addition, your doctor will share the results and discuss with you the breast radiologist's recommendations.
How often should I have mammograms?
If you're a woman 40 years of age or older, you should get a mammogram every year. Whatever your age, if you have questions about getting a mammogram, talk to you doctor because he or she knows your medical history best.
If you have other questions about breast ultrasound or would like additional information please ask your doctor or nurse.

The Continental TKC 80 has long been the tire of choice for tourers and dual-sport motorcyclists world-wide. This tire provides a great mix of on and off-road stability and traction.
Special Pricing - 15% off MSRP
The TKC 70 fills the gap between the TKC80 and Trail-Attack by giving riders a 60/40 option tire that should last a long time on the pavement without giving up too much traction in the dirt.
âââââââSpecial Pricing - 15% off MSRP.
This helper tool from Touratech makes tire changes much easier in the garage, or on the trail. By holding the bead of the tire away from the motorcycle rim, these Tire Helpers give you more room and an "extra hand" during those tricky tire changes.
Electric tire inflator for motorcycles (also bicycle and truck tires.)
The kit includes three 16 gram threaded CO2 cartridges with a sticker wrap.
Pair of super-strong steel tire levers. Made of spring-steel, you can't bend them. Tapered ends of the tire irons let you wiggle the levers out when it's tight. Small lip stays close to the rim, reducing the chance of pinching the tube. There is a REASON that MICHELIN style has been the best design!
Accurate tire pressure gauge. The perfect gauge for motorcycle wheels. Holds the pressure, so you can bring it out to read the face. For example checking the rear tire pressure of a motorcycle with panniers can be very difficult to see the gauge.

Part 5: Lawful Engine Swap... KindaWritten by on July 20, 2004 The Stealth Bomber Gets a Heart Transplant
We've finally reached a point with our Diplomat police car where we canuse a couple hundred more horsepower. Instead of diving into the innersanctum of the 318 now residing between its framerails, we opted tostick a slightly used 360 we had laying around into the interceptor. The360 is from another project car of ours and features a 10:1 compressionratio, an otherwise stock bottom end, a fairly aggressive hydraulicflat-tappet cam, and a pair of mid-'70s 360 smog castings outfitted with2.02 intake valves. Equipped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gapintake manifold and a 750-cfm Demon carburetor, this little gem knockedout 418 horses and 443 lb-ft of torque on a conservative (stingy wouldbe a better word, actually) dyno. The engine is stout enough to powerour '68 Barracuda project car into the high 11s at 114 mph. So it'sdefinitely up to the task at hand. But we made a couple of changes tothe 360 to make it more compatible with the girth of the '89 M-Body. Thecam would have to go, as it didn't pull enough vacuum at idle to run thepower accessories, and believe us when we say a 3,800-pound vehicleneeds a lot of braking power to haul down from extra-legal speeds. inits place went a mild Crane hydraulic to boost low-rpm torqueproduction. Also, all of the accessories including the intake with Q-Jetcarb would be swapped over to the new engine, as well as the restrictiveexhaust system. Baring any complications with lean-burn compatibility,the Q-jet would remain. The Dippy would then be chassis dyno tested withthe old system and then retested with the new high-flow system todemonstrate the benefits of a good high-performance exhaust system.
No mincing of words necessary. With the hi-po 360 installed between thefenderwells, the lean-burn system wouldn't run right to save its life.Timing changes just didn't seem to make any difference in the way itran. In fact, the car felt outright flat in the power department. Thedecision was made to address the ignition first. so we called ourbuddies at Glendora Dodge for a Mopar Performance electronic-ignitionsystem that comes complete with an orange ECU, a vacuum-advanceelectronic distributor, and a wiring harness to tie it all together.Next on the chopping block was the carburetor. We were never quite atease with the feed-back Quadrajet perched on the Diplomat's intakemanifold, and it ran poorly enough to give us an excuse to try the800-cfm Competition Thermoquad that's been taking up space in ourgarage. Plus, the TQ just looks right.

Out with the old, in with the new. The tired, but still potent 318 cameout with nary a whimper to make way for some torque production.The 360 was procured from our '68 Barracuda project car and was good fora conservative 418 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. With pump gas andshifting at a leisurely 6,200 rpm, the Barracuda consistently coveredthe quarter-mile in the high 11's at 114 mph and 7.40s at 92 mph onIrwindale Raceway's ultra-sticky eighth-mile.Our 360 required a cam swap for the engine to be a viable performer. Theold cam featured 242/252 degrees of duration at .050-inch valvelift,producing a whopping 3.5-inches of vacuum at 850 rpm. This cam andpower brakes would amount to suicide on a power-brake-equipped car. Asuitable replacement was pulled from Crane's Powermax line of hydrauliccams (PN H-272-2) featuring a more suitable 216/228-degrees duration at.050 and .454/.480-inch lift at the valve. The hydraulic lifters alsocame from the Crane parts catalog.The hardened 5/16-inch heavy-wall pushrods are also Crane units (PN99756-1). they are stronger than stock and should not deflect.To bolster the new cam's performance, we installed a set of Crane Goldroller rocker arms, shafts, and spacers (Kit PN 69791-1) with a 1.6:1ratio providing the small cam with even more lift to the tune of.484/.512-inch lift over .454/.480-inch lift with 1.5:1 rocker arms.In order to swap a 360 in the place of a 318, some differences need tobe addressed. The driver-side motor mount on a 360 (and 340) has a widerbracket than the 318, but the bolt hole is in the correct location,necessitating a shim to make up the space differential. We located anold alternator spacer, measured, and cut it to length.The 318s are internally balanced engines featuring neutral-balancedharmonic balancers and flex plates, but 360s are externally balanced. Weused a B&M SFI-certified flex plate in our Barracuda with great success.Our unit was for a 727, while our Diplomat uses a 904 trans. the 727flexplate (PN 10236) is quite a bit larger than the unit for the 904trans (PN 10239) and cannot be used on a 904-equipped vehicle ,as theflex plate will not clear the smaller ring gear.We got this high-capacity, mechanical fuel pump from Holley (PN12-360-11). we wanted to maintain the basic layout of the car withoutdelving into the fuel system. this mechanical pump is more than adequatefor our potential performance level--rated at 110 gph (gallons perhour).Cars used for open-road racing (there's a big group) need to have awindage tray to help control oil and to free up horsepower. Since the360 did not have one, we opted for a Milodon unit (PN 16250) and thecorresponding stud kit (PN 81151). Installation was a snap, and theremainder of the bottom end was buttoned up with a Milodon stockreplacement oil pan. Milodon's replacement pan features some baffling tohelp control oil during hard launches or cornering.
Prior to dropping the bigger mill into our M-body, we took theopportunity to clean, detail, and paint the engine bay.The Stealth Bomber is equipped with poorly flowing manifolds dumpinginto a pair of pre-cats, which feed into a catalytic converter fartherdown range and then a muffler. Restrictive doesn't begin to describethis exhaust system.We made the decision to retain the stock intake. Despite the obviousweight penalty it offers, it is a good unit--much like the 340 intakesof yore. Our cam selection was based on peak horsepower in the 5,100-rpmrange, making the stock intake a suitable choice.Installed and running, it was time to address the lean-burn system andrectify its shortcomings. In other words, it was being 86'd.An MP electronic-ignition kit (PN P3690426) was procured from GlendoraDodge and came equipped with an orange ECU, a vacuum advancedistributor, and a wiring harness. The complete kit is a bargain andsimple to install. The "orange box" ECU, as it's affectionately known,is purportedly good through 6,000 rpm, which more than covers ourplanned rpm range.Our police cruiser was equipped from the factory with a Quadrajet. Thiswas not some sort of heresy, as all Mopar squad cars were equipped withQ-jets from 1985 until 1989 when the Thermoquad production ceased. Thisparticular unit is a feedback, computer controlled unit. It was aPandora's box we were unwilling to open.The Thermoquad is right at home on a Chrysler product. Much like theQuadrajet, the TQ has small, responsive primaries and manhole-sizesecondaries offering great part-throttle response and a hugekick-in-the-pants when the secondaries open.

About PA Systems:
From battery-powered portables to monster 3-way systems with multiple subwoofers and refrigerator-sized racks full of power amps, your PA system is a big part of what presents you to the world. PA gear, or "sound-reinforcement equipment," has changed immensely in a short period of time, with new digital technology revolutionizing mixers, power amps and speaker electronics, and material science developing new synthetics that make speaker enclosures smaller, stronger and lighter than ever.
Portable systems range from small-wheeled single speakers with built-in mixers and rechargeable batteries to bi-amplified stereo systems with integrated mixers that snap together for easy transport. These systems are great for street performing, presentations, small coffeehouse gigs, rehearsals and parties. They won't get "rock 'n' roll" loud, but for solo or duo performers and DJs who need to travel light, they get the job done with a minimum amount of hassle.
Mid-sized systems are generally designed to scale up easily, from smaller to larger venues. The introduction of internally bi-amplified (separate amps for low- and high-frequency) cabinets from many different companies made systems smaller, lighter, and easier to use for gigging club musicians, enabling a band to start with a basic system and grow it by adding extra cabinets and powered subwoofers as their careers move forward. Since many power cabinets can also double as floor-wedge or side-fill monitors, an early investment in such a system continues to pay off even when you need to upgrade to full-blown concert-sized sound.
Concert systems, on the other hand, have tended to remain with discrete components for ease of service and the ability to quickly swap out gear should a problem occur under critical live performance conditions. Concert systems, especially for arenas and outdoor venues, will frequently use multiple stacks of speakers fed with delayed signals so that audience coverage can be increased while keeping audio synced across the whole crowd.
Live sound can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it, so it's important to do some serious planning as your system grows. At Guitar Center, our live sound pros can help you put together the system that's exactly right for your present and future needs.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

The Pratt 86ers defeated the Larned Legion Sunday at Smoky Ford Field by a 7-0 count. The game went only 5 innings before being halted by rain, but it was an official game in the books. The scheduled nightcap was cancelled.
It was a game that featured contrasting pitching from the respective hurlers. For the Pratt 86ers, Logan Bertholf was the epitome of efficiency—tossing a 1 hit shut-out at the Larneds with 6 Ks and only 2 bases-on-balls. "That was one of his best games all summer," opined 86ers head coach Pat Stivers.
Meanwhile, the Larned pitcher was struggling to locate the strike zone. The 86ers didn't collect many hits on the day—2, but it was mostly because they weren't getting anything decent to swing at. Seven 86ers reached via the BB in their four turns at-bat, and three more were plunked by the errant Larned hurler, Perez. Perez also uncorked two wild pitches that allowed in runs for Pratt.
It could have been worse, but Pratt actually made the least out of the most, leaving the bases loaded in two innings and a total of seven LOB for the game. As mentioned, Pratt only managed two hits for the game, and a big hit at the right time could have broken the game open.
As it was, the 86ers had to settle for scoring most of their runs thanks to Larned's generosity—but a win is a win and the 86ers will take it in a season that has featured quite a bit of offensive frustration for the Pratt squad.
The 86er will host Hays on Wednesday evening and then travel to Dodge City on Thursday evening. The Junior Legion will begin zone play this week at Great Bend.

We all know that there are no super plug n play tactics but there are plug n play tactics. The question is...
Just how good are they?
The idea of this competition is to provide a link to your plug n play tactic which I will then download and use with my chosen side for this FM 2012 challenge. I will then go on "holiday mode" with the instruction to the AssMan that he must use this tactic.
There will be 3 Championships up for grabs.
There will be the "tactics creator" championship. Where you will you use "create a tactic" mode to make your tactic. So all your players must use predefined player roles and duties.
The 2nd championship is for "classical tactics". Done in the traditional mode with arrows etc...
The 3rd championship is for the overall title.
Now the way to win this title is by the chosen side amassing league points, GD, etc. Although I shall also note cup performances.
I have decided that anyone can come up with a tactic for the likes of Barcelona and other big clubs so I have gone for a small club just promoted into a bottom division in a small country. The club is...
I will update the championships as often as I can which should be pretty regular as the League should fly by at a quick rate.
I will also try the tactics on a 1st come 1st serve basis so if I accidentally miss yours out don't hesitate to let me know in this thread.
Note this team will struggle. Just keeping them up will be a seriously good achievement. You are also permitted to enter the Championship as many times as you like as long as it is YOUR tactic. Please don't forward someone else's tactic(s) as they may not wish to enter.
I decided to post here but I could just have easily posted in the Tactics section.
Please state if your tactic is a "Creator" tactic or a "Classic" tactic.
Good luck...

5 Tiny Technologies That Will Doom Us (From The Inside Out)
While we've been kept awake at night wetting our Fraggle Rock footie pajamas for fear of the pending robot attack on our homes, the robots have been slowly plotting a different kind of invasion: one into our bodies.
It all starts innocently enough; a little harmless chip here, a bit of bionic limb there and BAM! Before you know it, your body is a veritable Robotropolis.
This is how the tech takeover of your body begins:
#5. An Emotion Broadcasting/Receiving Chip
Kevin Warwick, a cybernetics professor at the University of Reading has a new and exciting idea: to implant a mood-detecting microchip in his brain, and then sync that chip with an identical one embedded in his wife. You will notice that at no point did we say this was a good idea, just a new and exciting one.
He hasn't done it yet, but we totally believe he can. Why?
Well, Warwick's got a history of these kinds of bionic shenanigans (dibs on a new DJ name!). He's already implanted a chip in his arm that activates the lights and doors in his office, and another that remotely signals a bionic hand mounted to some plywood in his apartment, presumably just to fuck with the cat when he's not around.
That stuff is all awesomely crazy, but it's the kind of harmless cyborg chicanery a lot of scientists are engaging in recently. The Emotion Chip is a whole other, more dangerous genre of insanity.
It started when his team rigged up the sensor in his arm to transmit to a necklace. It senses when he's excited and makes the necklace glow red, it goes back to blue when he calms down. His wife wears it.
Why this is useful information for the wife to have isn't clear, since you really do need more details before you know how to react (i.e. is the "excitement" you detect due to him having just won the Nobel Prize? Or because he's banging a grad assistant? Or getting beaten by the police?)
But no matter; Warwick plunged ahead and took the next "logical" step: having his wife implanted with a matching sensor that would let her sense his feelings without the necklace. And by all accounts, it works just like he says it does.
So when he says he wants to implant a sensor in his brain--and his wife's brain--that will essentially give them emotional telepathy, we can't help but watch with interest. It's for the same reason we would watch a bear try to ride a motorcycle--it'll be interesting whether he succeeds or not.
And if he does, well, the implications are insane.
The Downside:
Let's imagine a world where this product has been patented and sold for consumer use. If a husband and wife get these, and one of them gets pissed off, does it transmit the anger directly to the other's brain? Let's say one day Warwick is a bit grumpy--maybe his bionic hand is on the fritz and keeps flicking him in the ear while he's trying to work, or maybe he walked by a magnet and now he has to get minor surgery just to unlock his front door--whatever the cause, that general mood is now transmitting to his wife. And now she's pissed off at him for pissing her off.
Wouldn't this just create an endless feedback loop of anger, until somebody winds up getting stabbed? These things will totally lead to a worldwide ragepocalypse.
#4. The Internal ID Chip
We live in an increasingly automated society, and it's not hard to see why: People are dicks. Look no further than the way we shop these days--we buy online when we can, but when we have to shop in brick-and-mortar stores we've got debit cards and self-checkout lanes that let us enter, buy, pay and leave without making eye contact with a single other human.
But sometimes those self-service lanes are full, or broken, or maybe the goddamn thing just will not scan the UPC code on your bag of potatoes correctly and, rather than giving you the perfectly reasonable "fuck these potatoes" option, they automatically flag down an employee for you, thus forcing you to chat with someone who was considered too socially unappealing for a job as a checkout boy.
Well, thanks to the folks at VeriPay, there may be a solution: They want to install a chip in your arm with all of your bank information that will be automatically read when you leave any store with items on your person. Just shop, fill your cart, and leave. No lines, no scanning, no swiping. A signal detects the tags on the merchandise, then connects with the chip in your arm, then electronically sucks the money from your account.
So convenient. And all they're asking for in exchange is complete access to all of your banking details and the permission to embed themselves deep, deep inside of your body. We've all made that arrangement with some dude before, right?
The uses of ID chips inside your body aren't limited to shopping, however. There's also Verichip, another microchip embedded in your arm that links you and your gun together, so that your weapon won't fire unless it detects a connection with its verified host chip. Not only would this practically eliminate the chances of children finding guns and harming themselves, but it would also drastically increase the traceability of firearms. With Verichip, if your gun is used in a murder, you can't say it was lost, or stolen, or a case of mistaken identity: It only fires in your hand.
Granted, criminals wouldn't tend to be the type to get the chip implanted anyway, but the thought is there.
The Downside:
And now that we think of it, how long until bad guys hack that system? No system is completely secure; the entertainment industry has spent enough capital to start a solid gold moon country in their attempts to curb media piracy, and the eight different remasters of Total Recall sitting in our Downloads folder right now say that's not exactly working out for them.
You think identity theft is bad now? Piss off a hacker in the implanted microchip future and the next day the cops smash through your door. Their records will show that not only did your gun just whack an entire orphanage execution style, but that you also blew your life's savings on hemorrhoid cream and animal-themed dildos that same day.
#3. The Micro-Surgeon
After we're all good and comfortable with computers inside us managing our financial transactions, surely we'll be fine with one of them floating around our aorta with a tiny razor-sharp blade.
They call it the Assembling Reconfigurable Endoluminal Surgical System. It's "assembling" because you swallow it in 15 separate bite-sized pieces, and then it reassembles itself inside your body. At this point it can perform minor surgeries and routine maintenance without the need for external incisions.
Why, we can't imagine a single way that could go wrong, even if it happened in the first chapter of a horror novel called RROD: Rogue Robotic Organ Destroyer.
The Downside:
We work for the Internet, so we're not exactly luddites over here. Still, the largest, most successful, most well-funded software company in the world thought Windows Vista--the OS equivalent of purchasing a pre-on-fire Ford Pinto--was a good enough idea to sink millions of dollars and several years into.
Obviously the FDA won't approve the tech in general if it doesn't work, but again we raise the specter of hackers; any robot operating inside of your body would have to operate wirelessly (you're not going to have a CAT5 cable running out of your nostril to the doctor's control panel) and where there's a signal, there's a potential for somebody to hack it (see the story about Iraqis hacking into unmanned military drones... with a $26 piece of software). Are we being paranoid when we picture a 4chan prank causing our tiny surgeon-bot to go drilling into our balls?
And are we being paranoid when we point out the name of this surgery 'bot is the "Assembling Reconfigurable Endoluminal-Surgical System"?
ARES? As in... as in "the god of war" Ares?
The screaming man at the bottom is your liver.
Jesus Christ! Best of luck to you if you still wanna deepthroat the Killbot 5000. We'll sit this one out.

While it is convenient to pick screws with magnetized tips I wonder if the magnetism can cause any damage to electronics?
If you're thinking that magnetic screwdrivers might corrupt data on hard disks, my experience is that it doesn't happen. I've used my magnetic screwdriver to drive screws into the holes on hard drives, and nothing bad has ever happe$#J@R(F$*U%&$#(J
You could make an old time crt monitor display funny colors, not sure about 3.5" and 5" floppies.
But unless your screwdriver is with pretty big neodymium magnet head, you are highly unlikely to damage anything. Most electronic components are not ferromagnetic and inducing strong current inside them is hard to do. You will even have hard time damaging the data on a hard drive.
Magnetic tips don't do damage unless there is power, at worst, they can change stored data.
A hard drive is sealed of by a metal case around it, and the distance to the internal components is big. So, it won't be affected. However, watch out with memory cards and ROM memory like the BIOS, although I would believe they are protected against static electricity there might still exist a small risk...
These are simple physics, the magnetic tip has a magnetic field which will induce ferromagnetic wave into the conductive materials around it. This induced power will be rather small, but depending on the amount of magnetic force the magnetic tip has it might be enough to change some bits when you get close enough to the magnetic parts of not properly shielded storage media...
It's unlikely that the magnet in your screwdriver is powerful enough. See this question on specifics about what can be harmed.
Let's put it this way: the risk is vastly less than the risk for causing damage if you lose or scratch a screw across a board.
In the old days, there used to be a lot of risk with computer innards and magnetic devices -- the hard and floppy drives used to be susceptible to magnetic scrambling.
Nowadays, not so much -- to get the density of 500 GB+ drives, the magnetic material on the platters is almost non-magnetic, and it requires intense local fields to change the bits -- such intensity is only acheivable with strong fields from the tip of the head at 0.1um or so from the surface. Nowadays, you could pick up the drive using a electromagnet from a crane and the data would not be damaged.
A magnetic screwdriver can damage certain components that operate from magnetic fields. The classical case was the old-fashioned tape recorder head (data or audio) which needed to be "degaussed" whenever you worked near it with any ferrous tools, even if not magnetized.
Of course, no one uses tape recorders any more, and for the most part things like disk drives are fully enclosed now and relatively insensitive to external magnetic fields. However, I would still advise that one not using a magnetic screwdriver when working on or around a disk drive, since drives are so thin and compact now that a screwdriver tip could get quite close to one of the heads. And, of course, diskettes can be damaged by a magnetic field that is strong enough (possibly a magnetic screwdriver laid on top of a diskette, eg). (Don't keep boot diskettes and the like in a toolbox.)
In terms of other components -- circuit boards, power supplies, CD drives, memory modules, etc -- a magnetic screwdriver (or any sort of permanent magnet less powerful than one used in an MRI machine) will not cause damage. (You can, of course, still cause damage to memory modules and the like due to static discharge, but magnetism had nothing to do with that.)
No, there's nothing to worry about, many modern laptops are full of magnets. The magnet I stick on my screwdriver when removing tricky / sticky screws came from a laptop lid. They are used to keep the lids closed on modern laptops without the need for mechanical latches (and occasionally to trigger the lid closed sensor). They are very strong magnets (much stronger than any screwdriver I've ever used) and quite often they come down very close to the hard drive, something I doubt the manufacturers would do if it caused any serious reliability issues.
We used magnetic screwdrivers in our shop...we fixed everything electronic including computers. I once saw a computer tech struggling to screw down a motherboard...I told him just use a magnetic screwdriver and he said oh no! I've read computer books that warn you never to use magnetic screwdrivers around a computer. I don't see how it could possibly harm the motherboard.
Magnetism in screwdrivers won't do a thing! I have a really strong magnet, so strong I can barely take it off my Hard Drive after I put it on, and there is no damage whatsoever.
Get yourself a four pack of dime-sized rare-earth magnets from the bulk tool warehouse nearest you and you can turn your favorite screwdriver (or any other wrench/socket/pliers) into a magnetized tool whenever you want. These shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks and for all intents and purposes, you have a magnetic/non-magnetic 'switch' simply by applying or removing the magnet from a metallic portion of the tool. If left attached long enough, the tool itself will start to develop weak magnetic properties. This takes considerably less time if you are in the habit of stroking the magnet along the tool lengthwise.
But be careful with these things. Even dime-sized, they are powerful enough to scramble data and often end up in the oddest places.

Since the new patch ALL my tutor efforts failed.
Since the new patch ALL my tutor efforts failed.
Of course!
ive had the same issue. model professionals and leaders not getting on with any players they are tutoring including ones that have each other as preferred personnell
There was a bug like this in 12.0that was fixed for 12.1: "- When tutoring when asked to change a player's personality is used the competition news item no longer states little was gained."
I haven't seen the problem since then.
What, exactly, is happening with your tutors?
I've found it to be quite useful, although I don't use it that often. I was surprised that at first, players would say that they don't get on with whoever, but after the tutoring period finished, they say they learned a great deal.
It's still useful but the success rate seems to have decreased from FM11, that's just my impression.
I would say out of 10 efforts here, 5 get turned down by the youngster, 4 youngsters finish up learning now't & maybe 1 gets something out of the process.
Law of diminishing returns operates here.
Too much down-side, not enough up-side; I don't bother with this feature any more.
OK, I just did a quick holiday save. I set up nine tutoring relationships at the outset. I received no outright rejections, though one young player required convincing.
The results were as follows:
2 ended prematurely due to a clash of personality (no attribute/personality change, -50 to the players' relationship)
1 ended with the young player gaining nothing (no attribute/personality change, -4 to the players' relationship)
3 ended with young players slightly disappointed but gaining insight into the mental aspect of the game (minor attribute/personality change, no change to players' relationship)
3 ended with the young players delighted (major attribute/personality change, +100 to the players' relationship)
So according to this statistically insignificant sample, assuming you can convince a player to be tutored, it looks like you have a 1/3 shot of getting each type of result (failure, minor success, major success), so you have about a 2/3 shot of getting some kind of positive result. That seems about right to me.
For players refusing to tutor/be tutored where you have to try and convince them, either I've been on an incredible lucky streak or it improves with reputation. At the start of my save with sunday league rep, pretty much every other attempt at tutoring either the tutor or tutee would need some convincing if they worked together at all, but 8 years in and with a world class rep now, I've been having 7+ tutors for the last two years and I have not needed to try and convince anybody at all. As far as I'm aware none of my players have world class rep yet, so maybe its reputation in relation to the players. Anybody else notice something like this or just a coincidence?

My car (a 2008 Scion tC) says to have its oil changed every 5K miles or 5 months. I just took a new job and commute into the city by bus so I'm driving a whole lot less. I was told that if I got full synthetic oil on my next oil change, I could simply wait for 5K miles before my next change and forget about the whole 5 months. Is this true?

The synthetic oil should last longer without degrading, so if you are doing less miles this should safely extend the oil change period.
Check with your garage that you get the correct synthetic oil.
I think it really depends. If you live in an area that can get into lower temperatures (way below freezing) it'd be wise to get lighter oil put in by winter time, and thicker oil by summer time. If the climate is relatively stable this isn't as much of a concern. This is a case where, not necessarily 5 months, but bi-yearly would be a good idea.
When you do end up driving your car be sure it can get up to normal operating temperatures. Otherwise the water (and whatever else) that has collected with the oil in't removed and can lead to oil sludge.

6 Famous 'Frivolous Lawsuit' Stories That Are Total B.S.
#3. Lady Trips on Pothole, Sues, Whole Town Goes Bankrupt
According to this NBC Nightly News report, Sally Stewart was shopping one day in Reeds Spring, a small city near Branson, MO, when she tripped on a pothole. She sued the folksy, neighborly small town, which consequently filed for bankruptcy when they didn't have enough money to pay her award. Of course those nice folks had nothing against her but were just darn near worried to death about how to pay up, is all.
Via midbeaconhill.blogspot.com
I assume the town looks like Main Street in Disneyland.
If you dig a little deeper, you'll see that the injury required surgery, and that the hole she tripped on was buried in grass at a gap in the sidewalk that the city's crosswalk was directly connected to, implying that's the official place you need to be if you want to cross the street legally. She also sued the store owners, because it was a little hazy exactly who was responsible for that shitty sidewalk gap, but the court decided it fell under the city's jurisdiction.
He also legally declared them as "total dicks."
Aside from all that, under normal circumstances, the city's insurance would have covered it and everyone could have moved on happily, but then here comes the real point of the story:
The town didn't have insurance.
That's because when Sally slipped, the mayor wasn't nice guy Dan Lade, the one wringing his hands in the NBC interview. It was Joe Dan Dwyer (city rule: all mayors have to have Dan in their name somewhere), a bit of a redneck stereotype who originally made his multimillion dollar fortune from his own personal injury settlement (a logging accident, of course). He left office under investigation for insurance fraud, as well as child porn, having sex with a 15-year-old and paying off witnesses to say the girl lied. He's the one who let the city's insurance lapse, either out of neglect or as part of one his cockamamie schemes.
There's no photo of him available but I'm picturing Rod Blagojevich for some reason.
Apparently he also passed on the opportunity to work things out reasonably with Sally. Sure, the case is old, and this blog is the only source remaining online that says the mayor met her initial attempts to settle by saying "... to collect any damage with us you will probably have to sue us" and that "the chance of us paying this without a lawsuit is practically zero." But considering what else we know about Joe Dan Dwyer, it's not too far-fetched.
So while it makes a neat moral to pin the blame on the lady and "these crazy lawsuits these days," it completely clears the biggest villain here, the child-molesting, insurance-defrauding, power-abusing asshole former mayor.
#2. Workman Puts Ladder in Manure, Slips, Sues Ladder Company
No less a source than 60 Minutes announced this story to the world, where a workman set up a ladder with its base in some frozen manure, and as the heat of the day kicked in, his ladder slipped in the now less-frozen manure, and he fell and hurt himself, because he is an idiot. He then sued the ladder company because they didn't stop him from being an idiot -- they should have put a warning label about manure.
This story still gets repeated around the Internet even though the truth is that the ladder didn't slip, it broke. It broke with less than 450 pounds of weight on it, when it was supposedly rated safe up to 1000 pounds. Which is exactly the sort of thing you're supposed to sue about.
#1. Man in Phone Booth Hit by Drunk Driver, Sues Phone Company
President Ronald Reagan himself told this story, in these words:
"In California, a man was using a public telephone booth to place a call. An alleged drunk driver careened down the street, lost control of his car and crashed into a phone booth. Now, it's no surprise that the injured man sued. But you might be startled to hear whom he sued: The telephone company and associated firms!"
Why, because the phone booth didn't jump him safely into another time??
First, that "injury" involved losing his right leg. Secondly, he did also sue the driver, but somehow the police managed to miss giving her a blood alcohol test at the scene, possibly (according to the defense) because her son was a police officer, whose card was right next to her driver's license in her wallet. He had enough to push for a $25,000 settlement from her and the bar that liquored her up, but with a $7,300 annual janitor's salary, and one leg missing and one leg smashed, he was still barely getting by.
Thirdly, the reason he didn't get out of the way in time, while the guy next to him did, was because the door was jammed (the other guy testified that he saw Bigbee frantically trying to open the door). While you could say it's not fair for the phone company to keep careful tabs on the safety of every booth in the city, you'd think they'd be checking this one, since it had been hit by a car 20 months ago due to being located at a dangerous intersection.
Via scnow.com
"Yeah, just put it back exactly where it was, boys."
Whether our country is falling victim to lawsuit mania or not is up for debate, but it's a debate that should be worked out with boring, but accurate, facts and statistics. The exaggerated scare stories here should be saved for the campfire, where they belong.
"All right, that hook story really got me, but wait until you hear about the poo ladder lawsuit ..."

Trailing a single run heading into the final inning Wednesday, the Pioneers put together a four-run frame when it needed it the most.
The offensive explosion vaulted the visitors to a 6-3 advantage over DeSoto and just three outs away from a much-needed win.
However, an error, a walk and a string of hits by the Wildcats saw everything unravel for the Leavenworth baseball team.
Four runs later, the boys in blue experienced perhaps its toughest defeat of the year when they lost 7-6.
"On the bright side, we battled back and never gave up," LV coach Joe Allison said.
"On the negative side, we couldn't finish. We have too much talent not to do better in these games. The effort is there, we just have to learn how to close out ball games."
Leavenworth, 4-8, will face Olathe Northwest today at 5:30 p.m.

Looking Back
A conversation between Mel M. Immergut and Professor Michael I. Sovern
Mel M. Immergut '71, the chairman of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, reminisces with Professor Michael I. Sovern '55 about unrest on campus, smoking cigars in the library, and waking up early for Saturday classes at the Law School
Mel M. Immergut '71: So, I'd like to do some reminiscing—which, the older I get, the easier I find it to do, and the more I find I do it.
Michael I. Sovern '55: [Laughs] You ain't seen nothing yet.
Immergut: I'm sure, I'm sure.
[One thing] I was thinking about this morning in advance of our conversation: Columbia and Columbia Law School were such incredibly different places during the years that I was there than they are now. I was there during Kent State, when school closed in early May and either you took pass/fails or you came back in September to take your exams. Columbia was kind of Berkeley East. The school was really a hotbed of radicalism. I remember that a bunch of students, or non-students, occupied [various buildings on campus].
Sovern: Well, the real occupation was in the spring of '68 just before you got here. And then there were other, very brief occupations. In fact, I remember having to deal with one or two of them, but nothing like the spring of '68.
Immergut: [At that time,] I remember that there were always 50 or 75 desks set up on the steps of Low [Memorial Library] for every single cause that you could imagine. I also remember that if you were a student and you didn't dress in the raunchiest, most ripped-up clothes, or if you shaved, you were kind of excoriated.
Sovern: That wasn't true though in the Law School and Business School, was it? It was true of some of the graduate departments and some of the undergraduates, but we were still pretty tidy.
Immergut: When I go to the school now, people look like they're dressed for interviews every day of the week.
Sovern: That's funny because I transcribe a wider arc than you, and I remember a period probably in the early '60s, it might have been in the late '50s: I was junior man on the faculty so I was chairman of the student-faculty relations committee, and the faculty had before it a resolution requiring jackets and ties in the classroom. As the head of the student-faculty relations committee, I had to be the spokesman for the students' opposition in the faculty meeting. But I went down in flames; the faculty adopted that resolution and jackets and ties were required for class attendance.
Immergut: I never knew that. The other thing that was different back in those days was Saturday classes.
Sovern: Yes.
Immergut: That was a real shock to my system because I was, and still am, a very ardent fisherman. I fished every weekend out of Montauk. Everyone was always wondering when I got to law school whether I would fish, or if I would actually go to class. And I remember that for the first four or five months of school, I religiously was there every Saturday morning. As you got into the spring, and the flounder and striped bass started to call me from Montauk, I remember actually missing a few classes. I also remember when man first landed on the moon, that I had a Saturday morning class with Professor Milton Handler. Of course, Professor Handler as a great antitrust authority was also a very stern disciplinarian. And the class was at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning.
Sovern: Ooh.
Immergut: Everyone had stayed up all night the night before to watch and listen to Neil Armstrong land on the moon. I decided that since I wasn't fishing that Saturday, I would take advantage of the fact, and even though I was really bleary-eyed I went to class on 8 o'clock that Saturday morning. And professor Handler, true to form, took attendance.
Sovern: Well, I remember having to teach Saturday classes. I was teaching evidence at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. when I first joined the faculty. The idea of Saturday classes, I think, went back to the faculty's thought that [students] should spend time in the library when [they] weren't in class. And so this brought you in an extra day.
And it didn't work.
It was, I think, very wasteful. Ultimately we decided to cut it out. No more Saturday classes.
Immergut: No more Saturday classes! The other thing that I think was different in those days was the percentage of the class that went into public interest. Because law students, and Columbia students in particular were I think more—I was going to say radical, but that's probably not the right word. I think people were more public spirit–oriented in those days, and that a much larger percentage of the class went into public interest law.
Sovern: Now, that's interesting, because my experience is that today's students have a very substantial proportion that is public-spirited. I wonder whether what's happened is [related to] the debt load, which of course we try to ameliorate with our program of debt forgiveness. But your classmates didn't have much debt, did they?
Immergut: No. Our tuition was only, I think, $2,800 a semester.
Sovern: Right, and so people could carry it. And I think it's also the case that the jobs are harder to find. I think at the time of your class' graduation, the public sector was attractive; people wanted to go to the Justice Department, the D.A.'s office. And, of course, the attitude towards government and the changes in administration obviously affect that. So I think some students still go into government, but without the kind of enthusiasm that your classmates would have manifested. But I don't detect a significant drop-off in the wish to do good among today's students as compared with your contemporaries or mine.
Immergut: I hope that's the case. I hope that's the case.
And then, of course, there was always the library [as the] center of school. I wonder if that is still the case. I did all my studying in the library. And I used to actually go to the second sub-basement when I really, really had to study, because it was almost as if you were in a hermetically sealed capsule. Nobody bothered you down there.
One episode I remember, I was down there at about 7 o'clock one night and my friend Walter Mack ['71], who became an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District, came down and said, "You're not going to believe it, but there's a cigar smoker going on up in the Case Lounge."
Sovern: [laughs]
Immergut: The General Cigar Company had set up this huge display up there with cigars and brandy to introduce students to cigars. So I said, "Sounds pretty good to me," and I left the basement and went up there. There were only about three or four students that were up there, along with two people from the General Cigar Company, and also two hostesses, that may or may not have been from the General Cigar Company. And I remember thinking then: "How can this company do something like this when they only get four, five, or six people to actually attend." Well, p.s., I remember all my classmates who were there, and all of them became cigar smokers.
Sovern: So, you think it worked?
Immergut: It worked! And only in the last year have I actually stopped smoking cigars.
Sovern: That's funny. You remind me of another library basement story. It was not the Law School library, it was Butler Library, when I was an undergraduate. I was writing a paper on President Franklin Roosevelt's efforts to purge his opponents in the 1938 election. At that time, Butler had a wonderful collection of old newspapers in the basement. I went down there and read the papers that I needed for my work—but then I browsed. I read the accounts of Lincoln's assassination in the contemporary newspapers. And then I stumbled on a copy of the Daily News from December 8, 1941. Banner headline, all it said on the front page was: "War Declared."
Immergut: Wow.
Sovern: I was commuting in those days from the Bronx. So I borrowed that newspaper and rode home on the subway with it open so everybody could see "War Declared," and thought I'd get all sorts of excited reactions.
Nobody paid the slightest attention—this is New York after all.
Immergut: Right. [Laughs] Another big difference back in those days: In my class, I think we had 300 students, and we only had probably 10 women. I don't remember when that really started to change.
Sovern: It started to change during my years as dean, but it accelerated even after. And as you probably know, the class[es are now]—give or take a few—50/50 each year, sometimes with slightly more women than men, and sometimes the other way around. But you remind me of one of my great decisions on behalf of equal rights. I don't know if you remember, but the men's room on the first floor was enormous, and the ladies' room was very small. And so I directed that the men's room be cut in half, with half of it to become a women's room. The only question was what do you do with the urinals? And I said, "Why don't we just put flower pots in them?" And so we did that, and at least when between classes women would have the same opportunity as the men to take a break.
Immergut: Oh, that's great. That's terrific.
Sovern: It is interesting to me that your time at the school brackets the most transformative time in my life, probably since I learned how to read.
It was 1968 that caused a loss of confidence by the faculty in the administration, so the faculty elected an executive committee in the spring of '68 of faculty from the entire university. It consisted of 10 people, 9 of whom were very senior figures—Nobel laureate Polykarp Kusch, Daniel Bell, Eli Ginsberg, Lionel Trilling. And through a series of strange accidents, I became the chairman of that committee. So I spent the summer of '68, and then the academic year of '68 to'69, working to restore the place to some degree of civility and functioning. And it seemed to have worked. And so what that year did for me was, first of all, let me know that I liked that sort of stuff—I had been living a very happy life as a law professor, it's a wonderful life. And the other, obviously, was that people thought I did it well. And that really was instrumental, or at least quite significant, in my being chosen as dean. And so, as you know, from there it was downhill.
Immergut: [Laughs] That's for sure not the case. What occupies your time now?
Sovern: Well, let's see: I'm chairman of Sotheby's. I'm the president of the Shubert Foundation, which owns most of the Broadway theaters. And then, of course, I teach. I teach the Legal Methods course.
Immergut: I didn't know that.
Sovern: Yeah, it's a wonderful teaching assignment. I don't remember how we did it in your time.
Immergut: I had Professor Harry Jones ['39 LL.M.]. [He] was a great teacher to start everything out.
Sovern: He was.
I tell you, it's a dream teaching assignment, because I teach them three hours a day, five days a week, for just under three weeks. So from the teacher's point of view, you really do have the full attention of the students. And it really gives you the chance to do the job as you think it ought to be done.
And I like the students. As I've said to my colleagues, this is a very attractive bunch of young people. The admissions office does a nice job. Anybody could pick a class that's smart—we get 8,000 applications for fewer than 400 places—but to pick a class [filled with what] seem like decent people, that's harder. But they seem to manage it. And I tell my colleagues: If these attractive young people turn into the sorts of sons of bitches we meet at the bar occasionally, it's our fault.

An Olathe man was taken to the hospital Saturday after his vehicle overturned in Basehor, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The accident was reported at 7:45 p.m. Saturday at U.S. 24-40 and 142nd Street.
The 32-year-old man was driving west on U.S. 24-40 in a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The vehicle reportedly was traveling at a high rate of speed.
He attempted to make a left turn without slowing down. The sport utility vehicle went off the road and overturned, according to the report.
The man was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center.
It's unclear whether he had been wearing a seat belt.

Finding square root of matrices using Cholesky decomposition is limited to positive definite matrices. Any other method to find square root of matrix which has some diagonal values approximately zero (0.00000001) ?
Actually Cholesky can be shown to extend to semidefinite matrices:
Evidently implemented in R.
Meanwhile, covariance matrices are semidefinite, read some background at
Personally, I'm still a bit torn while giving this prescription. I am of the opinion that for truly reliable computation, one should use the singular value decomposition whenever one can tolerate the performance penalty; it truly is a very stable algorithm that can also be used to compute a bunch of important diagnostic quantities. (As an aside, if it is truly the square root you want, you could exploit the fact that having a singular value decomposition of $\mathbf{A}$ is effectively equivalent to having an eigendecomposition of either of $\mathbf{A}^T \mathbf{A}$ or $\mathbf{A}\mathbf{A}^T$)
Having said this, if you're still dead-set on using Cholesky on a positive semidefinite matrix, while in exact arithmetic you are supposed to encounter a zero, what might actually happen with a (large enough) matrix with inexact entries is that your Cholesky routine encounters a tiny quantity not detected as zero, and the routine happily carries over this tiny quantity to divide other entries with. Disaster!
The cure is that one does a symmetric pivoting $\mathbf{A}\to\mathbf{P}\mathbf{A}\mathbf{P}^T$ (where $\mathbf{P}$ is a permutation matrix), which reorders the diagonal entries of $\mathbf{A}$ (no off-diagonal entries are moved into the diagonal). This has the effect that the (near-)zero quantities are not encountered until one already has proceeded through the $r$-th iteration of the main loop in the Cholesky decomposition, where $r$ is the (perceived) rank of the matrix (this depends on what tolerance you have set, or the value such that anything whose absolute value is lower than it is effectively treated as zero).
I have only given a brief sketch, since what I really should be doing is to point out this paper by Nick Higham, which discusses the nuances of Cholesky decomposition with symmetric pivoting for symmetric positive semidefinite matrices.

6 Movie Mysteries the Characters Should've Solved Way Sooner
#3. Covering Up Five Virus-Infected Bodies in The X-Files Movie
The first X-Files movie saw Mulder and Scully reassigned to standard FBI assignments that had nothing to do with aliens or monsters, because for some reason the filmmakers thought that's what we wanted to see. The film begins with the two agents investigating a bomb threat in Dallas, and by pure chance they find the bomb in a building across the street from the intended target.
Mulder and Scully, drawing from years of training, call in an explosives expert, who evacuates everyone from the building and then just kind of sits there and lets the bomb explode in his face.
"... 16, 23, 42 ... dammit, that usually works."
Mulder and Scully decide to investigate and discover that, despite the evacuation, five bodies were found in the rubble of the destroyed building -- four firemen and one little boy.
As it turns out, the U.S. government planted those five bodies in the explosion to cover up the extraterrestrial viral infection that had actually killed them. The discovery of the bodies leads Mulder and Scully to a vast global conspiracy, which they thwart in time for the X-Files to be re-opened for Season 6.
Otherwise known as "the last season Duchovny didn't phone it in."
Let's take another look at this evil plan:
The film opens with the little boy and four firemen being exposed to the alien virus in a small town in Texas. The shadow government then sweeps in and secrets them away. After the five unfortunate victims die, the government decides to cover them up -- again, to preserve secrecy at all costs.
And so, their big idea to make the whole incident disappear is to blow up a fucking building in the middle of Dallas.
But don't tell anyone -- it's a secret.
Here's the thing -- aside from family and friends, nobody knows who those five people are. They aren't celebrities, they aren't foreign dignitaries -- they're just four civil servants and some anonymous kid. All the government needed to do was get rid of the bodies and they would've just sat on a missing persons list for the rest of time. Just, you know, dig a hole. Or dump them into the ocean like Megatron.
The whole point is to keep this information a secret, so why attract the attention of everyone in the nation by blowing up a building in the middle of a major city and stashing the bodies in the debris? They could've rented a wood chipper and a shark tank and been done with it. Mulder and Scully would still be investigating vibrating packages at the airport.
#2. All Evidence of the Machines' Existence in Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The third act of Terminator 2: Judgment Day basically spawns from the revelation that there is "no fate but what we make" -- meaning that we are not predestined to be vaporized by robot overlords and have the power to change the future. Driven by this knowledge, Sarah and John Connor take their pet Terminator and blow up everything in California, because the only way to stop one giant explosion is with several smaller explosions.
It's science. Look it up.
By destroying pieces left over from the Terminator in the previous film, which are paradoxically being used for research to invent the very same technology that eventually creates the Terminator and sends it back in time, the trio hopes to blink out the catastrophic future from existence and save the day.
So after a grueling robot battle, the Connors win and destroy the fateful Terminator parts by tossing them into the most improbably located vat of molten steel in the history of time. Unfortunately, in order to make certain that the evil robot overlords are never created, John and Sarah have to dunk their Terminator buddy into the melt zone, too. And so, the benevolent Terminator allows himself to be lowered into the boiling steel to a chorus of bitter tears. But the future is safe, and John and Sarah Connor can live an apocalypse-free existence.
"Oh, well, good for you."
Take a closer look at that shot:
That's right -- the Terminator is missing an arm. The pieces John and Sarah toss into the steel -- future technology that, in an alternate timeline, leads to the creation of an artificial intelligence that destroys mankind -- were a Terminator microchip and the original Terminator arm. Dropping their robot friend into the bubbling inferno takes care of the microchip well enough, but what about his missing arm?
The missing arm didn't get seared off by the heat of being slowly lowered down into a man-made volcano -- it got torn off by a gear several minutes earlier, when the Terminator was fighting the T-1000 somewhere else in the steel mill.
"Nutsack. Where am I gonna find another biker in my size?"
And as far as we know, it's still there. They never go back for it. It's just sitting there waiting for someone to find it, which is exactly what happened to the previous arm. Remember the arm that led to the destruction of mankind as we know it? But what are the odds the same thing will happen again?
#1. Marty and Doc's Adventures in the DeLorean in the Back to the Future Series
In Back to the Future Part II, old Biff steals the DeLorean to give his younger self a sports almanac and the keys to a guaranteed gambling fortune.
Surprisingly, he remains in the same city all his life regardless of the timeline or his level of success.
Marty and Doc Brown then go through hell trying to reverse what Biff has done, all while constantly trying to hide the DeLorean from anyone who might see it (the fact that they had so cavalierly just left the damn thing sitting with the door open for old Biff to steal in the first place is never appropriately discussed). In the future, it doesn't matter -- there are flying cars all over the place. But their mission to thwart Biff's time-traveling skullduggery takes them back to 1985 and 1955, which are both decades wherein a flying car would attract a lot of unwelcome attention. So they do their best to keep it a secret.
Thing is, when you launch your time machine down a suburban street in the middle of the day, it tends to draw attention, too. Far from showing the care and vigilance we discussed above, Marty and Doc do this shit all the time -- like when Doc sends Marty back to the future with a lightning-fueled explosion in the center of town at the end of the first film. But hey, most people would probably just write it off as exhaustion or a flashback from all the acid they dropped at the drive-in two weeks ago. There's no reason any passersby would think they really saw a DeLorean float into the sky and disappear ... that is, unless they'd seen it before.
Biff has totally seen the DeLorean several times. He sees it at the end of the first film, which consequently is the beginning of the second film. He sees it again as an old man, which is enough for him to connect the dots and figure out it's a time machine (Old Biff displays a level of deductive reasoning that is as paradoxical as time travel itself), leading directly to him stealing the DeLorean and enacting his evil plan. And he sees it again at the end of the second film, as a teenager back in 1955, when Marty steals the almanac back while riding on a hoverboard and the DeLorean lifts him to safety.
This particular timeline of Biff's is never corrected. After Marty and Doc come back from the Old West, Marty finds Jennifer back on the porch where he left her, meaning that everything that happened before he put her there still happened -- Biff saw the DeLorean take off after waxing George McFly's car, and he saw Marty, as Calvin Klein, steal his future book and get towed to safety by a Jetsons car.
"I really hope I'm just hallucinating from the manure fumes."
What are the odds that this shit stuck with Biff, at least enough to come rushing back when he sees Marty and Doc gaily take off for another adventure as he stands staring, wearing only a green tracksuit and his own muddled confusion?
"... I think my mind is haunted."
When the series ends, the time machine is destroyed and the future is safe for Marty and his family, but all of this crazy bullshit still happened to Biff. How long will it take him to realize that it wasn't fate that screwed him over time and time again once Marty shows back up at the house dressed like a cowboy?
"Hey, Marty! I can't see anything but knives when I close my eyes!"

To: All charter holders and charter operators
Budget worksheets and forms for charters will be issued early next week. Worksheets have been modified to assist in calculating adjustments.
Beginning with fiscal year 2015-2016, A.R.S §15-185, as amended by Laws 2015, Chapter 15, Section 1, phases out small school weight eligibility for associated state sponsored charter schools over a three year period when the combined student count for kindergarten through 8th grade or the combined student count for 9th grade through 12th grade exceeds 600. More detailed information is provided in the attached document.
All charter holders are required to submit a "Charter Small School Weight FY16 Statement of Assurance" in order to properly implement this new language no later than June 15, 2015 (link below).
Eligibility for small school weights remain only when a charter holder, with no association to another charter holder, holds a single charter and student counts for this charter for kindergarten through 8th grade or student counts for 9th grade through 12th grade are less than 600.
In the scenario where a single charter holder has multiple charters and the combined student count for kindergarten through 8th grade or the combined student count for 9th grade through 12th grade are less than 600, the enacted amendments eliminate eligibility on July 1, 2015, with no phase down. The Department of Education intends to seek amendment to legislation during the next regular session, which would provide a phase down in this scenario. However, until this is passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, funding will be based on student count weights of 1.158 for kindergarten and grades 1 through 8 and 1.268 for grades 9 through 12.
In order to insure that payments of state aid comply with new legislation and to prevent over-payments which would result in reductions to subsequent payments, charters for which a "Charter Small School Weight FY16 Statement of Assurance" has not been completed by June 15, 2015, will be funded based on student count weights of 1.158 for kindergarten and grades 1-8 and 1.268 for grades 9-12 until the statement of assurance has been submitted.
If the statement of assurance is submitted after fiscal year 2015-2016 state aid payments have be made, adjustments to subsequent payments will be made based on submitted statement .
The statement of assurance must be completed by the charter holder or an authorized person. The statement of assurance is available at: http://www.azed.gov/policy/2015/04/23/charter-small-school-weight-fy16-statement-of-assurance/#gf_4

text: Thank you very much for the fast and helpful reply. You gave me plenty to work with, and clarified many issues for me with very few words. I appreciate the time you've saved me in experimentation. While you're free to do as you will with the filter I attached, I will post an improved version (at least with the title fix) to this list by the weekend if all goes well. I assume that's the preferred way to submit stuff, but I notice you have a wiki now. Would you prefer I post it there when done? Also, I think your documentation is excellent, especially after studying it a while, but for some reason it's hard for me to grasp in a short time. I think an overview/intro summarizing how the program works (which I think I get now) would be very helpful and I would like to volunteer a contribution or two toward this end. Would you prefer doc submissions via the mailing list, the wiki, or otherwise? Best regards,.
