Te'o Is Taken by the Chargers
The first round of the NFL draft had the best players, the second round, held on Friday, had the most famous.
The San Diego Chargers ended the longer-than-expected draft wait for former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, who was selected with the sixth pick in the second round on Friday night in New York. The New York Jets, meanwhile, selected West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, a college star who was considered among the best quarterbacks in a relatively weak class of signal callers.
Te'o was already a star linebacker for the Irish before the revelation that his girlfriend, who he claimed died of leukemia, never existed. He said in subsequent interviews that he was the victim of a hoax. Te'o, a six foot one linebacker, dropped in the draft for other reasons. Specifically, his awful game against Alabama in the National Championship game, which the Irish lost. That, combined with unimpressive workouts this spring doomed Te'o to second-round status after speculation he could be a top-15 pick going into his senior year.
Other college stars taken early in the second round on Friday—Tennessee wide receiver Justin Hunter, considered a freak athlete at wide receiver, was selected with the second pick in the second round by the Titans. Running back Giovani Bernard of North Carolina was scooped up by the Bengals with the fifth pick in the round and standout Southern California wide receiver Robert Woods was taken by Buffalo with the 41st overall pick.

mywellness® Coach Solution
Questionnaires and workout instruction sheets? Look beyond: the future of physical activity is Wellness Coaching, a service that satisfies the needs of your clients.
To provide incentives for you clients to renew their membership, or encourage someone to sign up for your gym, you need to be able to listen to their needs and help them to overcome their diffidence.
Many people who want to engage in physical activity have two wishes:
- they want to be efficiently trained and motivated to achieve their targets;
- they do not want to be tied to appointments.
The Wellness Coaching service is an innovative idea for ensuring that your clients enjoy motivating workouts, performed as and when they wish and with fewer limitations dictated by the hours when your gym is open.
mywellness® Coach Solution is the solution we offer to you to achieve such a service.
How? By using tools such as mywellness® key and mywellness® portal, our training, consultancy and marketing tools, which you can use to expand the limits of your facilities.
Really helping your clients will be simpler than you might image.
Wellness Coaching: what is it?
The Wellness Coaching service consists of assessing and analysing your client's needs, creating a programme of physical activity, identifying eating habits and life style, defining a personalised action plan and measuring the results achieved.
Unlike a Personal Trainer, who interacts with the client only with one-to-one lessons, a Wellness Coach talks, advises and encourages the person he/she is coaching, even using remote tools like the internet and e-mails.
By using portable devices that permit the coach to monitor all the client's physical activity, including outdoor activity, a new relation is created between the coach and the client: freer, more constant and less limited by facilities and their hours of opening.
How to create the service in your facilities
The fundamental requirements for starting up an efficient and effective Wellness Coaching service are:
- a coach/personal trainer;
- a tool that permits monitoring of your client's physical activity at all times;
- an on-line platform that allows the coach and client to communicate, interact and keep track of progress.
The mywellness® Coach Solution helps you to take advantage of the offer, by supplying you with:
mywellness® key
mywellness® key is a pocket-sized device created by Technogym. It is the only device of its kind which measures not only structured physical activity performed in a gym, but also all the physical activity performed anywhere else (at home, at work, during leisure time).
By recording the Moves, the unit used to measure movement, the mywellness® key logs every movement made by the person using it as well as their body's level of metabolic activity.
Additionally, this device allows the coach to assess the level of physical activity performed by the user each day, set him/her easy targets to be pursued and assess their achievement.
mywellness® portal
mywellness® portal is a real virtual environment in which the coach and client can "meet" and communicate whenever they like, even outside the hours of the gym.
Each time the user connects his/her mywellness® key to a portable PC, the data recorded is transferred from the device to the portal.
In this way the coach and the user, who have their own personal sections on the portal, can check progress and results achieved interactively and can define new targets.
Marketing tools
Leaflets, Promocards, free assessment cards and banners: with the mywellness® Coach Solution you will receive these and other communications tools to promote and publicise your mywellness® Coaching service inside and outside your facilities.
And that's not all! You can also personalise each individual tool with your centre's logo.
Training and consultancy
Technogym will help you to obtain the maximum from your Coaching service by providing the training and consultancy help of the Wellness Institute™.
A simple Business Guide will give you all the information you need to define and set up your business model, while the Wellness Institute™ consultants will be entirely at your disposal to optimise your approach based on the specific needs of your Club, your staff and your clients.
To find out more about the mywellness® Coach Solution, contact us.
Because mywellness® Coach is the right choice for your club
By monitoring the physical activity of your clients and providing remote motivation for them, you will be able to create a service that will allow you to expand the limits of what your club offers.
Giving each of your clients the freedom to perform physical activity even when they are outside your club, while continuing to follow a well-defined programme, is an attractive and practical solution which permits you to save time and resources, and to offer a quality service.
Depending on your business model, your type of clients and their needs, your Wellness Coaching service can be organised in various ways.
You can directly address clients who have lost their motivation because they have had a negative experience in a fitness centre, or you can choose to increase the satisfaction of your members by offering them supervision even when they are not at the centre.
There can be lots of ideas for using it. To discover the one most suited to your needs, contact us.
Read the story of the Centro Star Bene, which has already started up this service.

There are other teams hoping for a kind combination of factors that could lift them into the playoffs.
As only he can, Kyle Brennan takes a detailed look at each of the four classes and explains what teams need to do to reach the football playoffs:

Following are some law students' descriptions of their Street Law experience:
"I have been . . . instructing juvenile offenders at the Essex/Passaic County Detention Center about pertinent aspects of the law and legal system. This experience has proven to be eye-opening as I have witnessed first hand the effects of incarceration on a young person's psyche. Nevertheless, it has also proven to be extremely fulfilling, especially when adolescents begin to turn the other corner and give serious thought to their future."
Dante Simone, Class of 2010
"My knowledge of criminal law was sharpened by teaching the Street Law class. In addition, there were some local laws that I was made aware of that I did not learn about in my coursework."
Janita Obie, Class of 2011
"I had the pleasure of teaching three different classes: young children, high school children, and girls living in a group home. My group home girls were the most challenging because they felt that the law had failed them. I was very happy to assist them in understanding their rights and preparing them for a life outside the group home."
Kimberly Graison, Class of 2008
"Overall the experience gave me a first-hand account of what kind of challenges urban public schools face."
Khushbu Patel, Class of 2010
"This program has helped me give back to the community and I am proud that I am part of a school that encourages this type of giving back."
Tim Kozicki, Class of 2011
"Street Law is in keeping with Rutgers–Newark's tradition of public service in the most real way: going directly to the people who need to know that the law can work on their side."
Kimberly Collins, Class of 2011
"I feel that I have positively impacted the lives of my students as well as help build a bridge between the greater legal community and the Newark community. I have taught students how to use the law to their advantage, develop their analytical skills by developing legal arguments, and the importance of being engaged in their community."
Tamekia Hosang, Class of 2010

Thursday, January 1973
The time for debate on the merits of the war in Vietnam
is past. The war has been debated for the last seven years
and has been shown to be without merit from the standpoint
of American security and. national interest.
By the time of the 1972 election, only two months ago,
Mr. Nixon seemed to have accepted the war's futility. He
assured us, through his closest adviser, that peace was "at
hand." The President himself told Garnett Horner of The Star
in an interview given on November 5 and published on November 9:
"Let me tell you this on Vietnam -- when I tell you I am
completely confident that we are going to have a settlement, you
can bank on it." On election eve, November 6, 1972, President
Nixon assured the American people that, despite remaining
"details," "I can say to you with complete confidence tonight
that we will soon reach agreement on all the issues and bring
this long and difficult war to an end," Once again Mr. Nixon
has betrayed the promise of peace, just as he betrayed it after
his election in 1968, and just as it was betrayed after the
election of 1964.
Owing to the secretiveness of the Administration, we do
not know exactly what went wrong with the October agreement.
But by available evidence the President, after the election,
changed his terms of peace, which had been agreed upon in
October, not just in technical detail but in the very substance
of the agreement. He did this, apparently, by demanding
North Vietnam's recognition in some form of the Thieu Regime's
"sovereignty" in South Vietnam. This in effect would require
North Vietnam to disown the Vietcong, which also claims
"sovereignty" in South Vietnam. That indeed is what the war
has been about: who is to be sovereign in South Vietnam.
The October agreement left this undetermined, just as the
war itself had left it undetermined* That very imprecision
made agreement possible. Now Mr. Nixon seeks to pin down
in an agreement what has not been won in the war: the right
of the Thieu regime to perpetuate its rule in South Vietnam.
In order to compel North Vietnam to acquiesce in these
substantially -- radically -- altered demands, as against the

WEIRTON - City employees are just one reading away from receiving a pay raise.
Council, on Tuesday, heard the first reading of an ordinance giving city workers a 3 percent pay raise, retroactive to the start of the 2012-13 fiscal year.
The pay hike, recommended last week by the finance committee, was made possible by a $2.6 million cash carryover, even though all but about $250,000 had been built into the budget projects for the year.
The second and final reading will be in December.
In other matters, Ward 4 Councilman George Ash applauded the efforts of Public Works personnel to patch streets in his ward, telling Public Works Director John Brown that, "between you and (City Manager Valerie Means) and the rest of the crew, you did a lot that wouldn't have been done otherwise."
The city had planned to use roughly $130,000 in CDBG funding to pave streets in Ash's ward, but delays in securing the funding, coupled with the limited availability of the only contractor who bid for the project, forced them to put the full scope of the work off until spring.
Means, however, last month had promised city crews would do whatever they could in-house.
"Thank you for the pay raises," Brown told Ash and the other councilmen. "They're good for morale."
Brown said the department's new dump truck is ready for snow removal duties, while a new sanitation truck is to be delivered by the end of the month.
Ash also thanked Fire Chief Jerry Shumate for calling him recently to advise him of a fire in his ward, saying he's "the first chief who's ever called me, and I appreciate it."
Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said crews from James White Construction have begun working on Phase I of the sewage upgrades needed to comply with a federal consent decree surrounding discharge of fecal coliforms into the river.
Council passed on first reading a resolution authorizing city officials to contract for engineering services for the Safe Routes To School grant program.
Mayor George Kondik credited Ward 6 Councilman David Dalrymple with getting the grants approved, adding that it's "one of the first steps in quite a few to get this project done on a very, very tight schedule."
Also passed on first reading were resolutions retaining Teed & Associates, Charleston, for audit services; a letter of intent for a viable guaranteed energy savings performance contract; governor's Community Participation Program funds for the Events Center; aerial and ground ladder truck testing and certification, an annual event; placing liens on certain Elm Street properties to recover costs incurred in their demolition; switching to Highmark for health insurance for municipal employees; enrolling in HRA DirectPay coverage for city employees; establishing new dental coverage; revising the general fund budget for the 2012-13 fiscal year; and purchasing two thermal imaging cameras for the city fire department.
The city's fire department civil service code was amended to remove departmental regulations from the actual civil service code, something firefighters had long sought, with the second reading of an ordinance implementing the rule changes slated for December.
Council approved a contribution to the Brooke-Hancock Veteran's Memorial Park at the south end of town, and also heard a first reading of an ordinance installing a "no parking" sign across from 3216 Weir Ave.
City Council spent 40 minutes behind closed doors Tuesday discussing personnel matters.
Afterwards, City Solicitor Vince Gurrera said only that the executive session allowed council to discuss "certain positions throughout the city and what positions (council) needs to look at as far as changing job descriptions."

Remarks:(1) For n=1, the examples are obvious (standard linear circle action on $CP^2$). (2) If a manifold admits a circle action with 3 fixed points, then the signature of this manifold is 1, so the dimension of this manifold is necessarily divisible by 4.
Does there exist smooth circle action on manifolds M^{4n} with exactly three fixed points such that n\neq 1
I think the answer to your question is yes, but perhaps you meant to ask a slightly different question than the precise one you pose.
For example, take the model of $\mathbb RP^{2n}$ where you view it as the unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$ modulo the antipodal map on the boundary.
So the action of $S^1$ on $\mathbb C^n$ factors to an action on $\mathbb RP^{2n}$, and it has precisely one fixed point.
Take the disjoint union of three of these $S^1$ spaces. By design, this has three fixed points.
Perhaps you wanted the manifold to be connected? So do an equivariant surgery, pairwise along a free orbit, drilling out $D^{2n-1} \times \{0,1\} \times S^1$ and gluing in an $S^{2n-2} \times [0,1] \times S^1$. Do this twice, and now you have a connected $S^1$-manifold with precisely three fixed points.
So my first guess is that you would prefer the manifold to be orientable?

GURPS Critical Miss Table
Part of the GURPS For Dummies Cheat Sheet
In GURPS, the flipside of critical successes are critical failures, or misses in character combat. Like critical successes, critical failures mean an extreme result from a roll — in this case, a bad result, but not necessarily the end of the world. A roll of an 18 is always a critical failure, and a roll of a 17 is a critical failure as well if the skill in question is 15 or less. A roll of 10 over skill is also a critical failure.
|3, 4
|Your weapon breaks and is useless. Exception: Certain weapons are resistant to breakage. These include solid crushing weapons (maces, flails, mauls, metal bars, etc.); magic weapons; firearms (other than wheellocks, guided missiles, and beam weapons); and fine and very fine weapons of all kinds. If you have a weapon like that, roll again. Only if you get a broken weapon result a second time does the weapon really break. If you get any other result, you drop the weapon instead
|You manage to hit yourself in the arm or leg (50% chance each way). Exception: If making an impaling or piercing melee attack, or any kind of ranged attack, roll again. If you get a hit yourself result a second time, use that result — half or full damage, as the case may be. If you get something other than hit yourself, use that result.
|Same as 5, but half damage only.
|You lose your balance. You can do nothing else (not even a free action) until your next turn, and all your active defenses are at –2 until then.

With this highly praised collection of short fiction, Lorna Goodison demonstrates why she may be one of literature's best-kept secrets. In the Pushcart Prize-winning title story, humble Dottie thinks her luck has turned when she meets Frenchie, the best-looking, if not most reliable, man in the whole of Jamaica. In "The Helpweight," an accomplished woman must bear the burden of an old flame's renewed affections when he returns from a life abroad with his Irish bride in tow. And in "Henry," a young boy turned out of his house to make way for his mother's lover sells roses on the street to survive. On a whim, he bites off a bloom, which he can feel burning inside his mouth like a red pepper light, hoping it will take root and beautify his own life. Poetically rendered, these and over a dozen other evocative stories create a world in which pride can nourish a soul or be its ruin and where people are in turn uplifted and undone by love.
About the Author
Lorna Goodison is an internationally recognized poet who has published eight books of poetry and two collections of short stories. In 1999 she received the Musgrave Gold Medal from Jamaica, and her work has been widely translated and anthologized in major collections of contemporary poetry. Born in Jamaica, Goodison now teaches at the University of Michigan. She divides her time between Ann Arbor and Toronto.
Praise For…
"A matchless mosaic portrait. . . . A perfect complement to her evocative, widely admired memoir. . . . The voices come vividly off the page. . . . [Goodison] taps deeply into universal experience and offers up these lives with brutal honesty and poignant humanism."
"Every tale . . . introduces characters that will sustain your interest far more than novels with twice the length and none of the panache of Goodison's sparkling prose."
"Alternating between flat-out humor, aching pain, and the confusion of bridging cultures, [these] stories weave around one another in a rhythmic, engaging palette of language and characters sure to remain with the reader."
"[A] captivating and poetic collection."
-Library Journal
"Goodison deals with the physical world and the words flung between her powerful characters—she's scoring a dance. . . . It's an addictive game to play, paying attention to the silences in the songs."
-Daily Beast
"A beautifully written and evocative book. . . . Goodison finds a glittering and urgent beauty in the everyday, without shying away from a frank confrontation of those moments when the everyday is shattered by trauma."
-Danielle Evans, author of Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool SelfDanielle Evans, author of Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self
"Few writers are as attuned as Goodison to the heartaches and triumphs of Jamaicans, especially Jamaican women. . . . Fewer writers still tell us so much about what it means to be human."
-Elizabeth Nunez, author of Prospero's Daughter and Boundaries
"How Lorna Goodison manages to capture so much about human complexities in these stories is baffling. I just love this book."
-Uwem Akpan, author of Say You're One of Them

Is there any advantage to soft pedaling over coasting? Does it provide any power to moving forward? Is there any aid it gives to your leg muscles recovering?
Sign up

By this do you mean pedalling when unnecessary (and without increasing the bike's speed), for example, on descents?
I will do this on long descents just to keep my legs turning over and to prevent them getting too cold. But I will mix it with coasting.
There is a theory that keeping the legs moving will keep your blood flowing and help pump lactic acid out of the muscles. I can go along with this as I've felt the benefit, or at least I think I have.
I've also heard it argued that it's advantageous as regards making your technique smoother, but I don't think that's particularly proven. But no personal experience, I've never really concentrated on my technique to that extent.
Further, you can talk to racing cyclists who will often say that soft pedalling is preferred when riding in a peloton, purely because coasting implies to other people that you're about to hit the brakes. Again, no personal experience. I know some of the regulars on here are either racers or ex-racers, maybe they can confirm?
In terms of speed (or power) surely it makes no difference, purely by the definition of "soft pedalling"?
In addition to the response provided by PeteH, I use "soft pedaling" when coasting to a stop on my downtube shifter/derailleur-equipped road bike in order to change gears before a stop.
Some bikes (such as those with internal hubs) do not need any chain motion to shift gears, but my bike does. That's the only concrete reason why I would employ this technique, outside of the points outlined by PeteH.
When riding in a group you often find that small changes of speed can mean that you do not need to pedal when it slows down and have small bursts of power when it speeds up. By soft pedaling when the group slows down your legs will already be spinning when its speeds up again.
I have often heard, and I agree, that the "muscular pump" is partly responsible for higher blood flow to specific muscle regions during activity. The reason is that between muscular contractions the difference in pressure is such as to draw blood from the arterial side to the venous side. It is a hypothesis and has not been conclusively proved. That may be the reason why some athletes do it, and others don't.
Although I'm sure it's not the same, in MTB I use a very brief lapse of smooth pedalling while downshifting in a difficult ascent, it helps reducing noise and wear in the gearset. I accelerate a little before the shift, then, as I actuate the shifter I pedal without load relying on inertia. When I feel the new gear is fully engaged I resume normal pedalling. This is also used when after a fast descent comes a very steep ascent, as you would normally be in a very long (hard) gear, soft pedalling is used to make sure you have the proper (selected) gear engaged when you need it. It is specially useful when the bottom of this kind of transition has technical terrain that would make it impossible to keep all the momentum, forcing you to reduce speed a lot but not to stop nor dismount.
Just based on personal experience. No to all your questions.
Jacques Anquetil, when time trialing, was rumored to incorporate a soft pedal stroke every few revolutions. With his smooth pedaling and only archival vintage video it's hard to tell. Could be baloney like the special oxygenated recovery beverage the Soviet track cyclist used.

The traditional productivity analysis consists in comparing output over time in given periods of time. For instance if I make 5 pizzas in 15 minutes it's easy to tell when I improved by either raising the amount of pizzas, reducing the alloted time or both. The same doesn't apply to writing, painting or studying considering the output in this case does not use the same standard.
That said, what are some alternative methods to the traditional output/time?
Famous alternatives examples: pomodoro technique, gamification. Feel free to expand them in answers.

The Carmi-White County Junior High School Lady Bullpups eighth grade team took care of business on their home court Tuesday, Nov. 12, securing a win against the Lady Mules of Fairfield 27-23. The team, coached by Roger Hortin, had the advantage the entire way en route to their third win of the season.
The Lady Bullpups led after the first quarter with a score of 9-7 and continued their advantage through the halfway mark at 17-13. The Mules turned in a rallying effort in the third quarter to tie the game at 21-21 heading into the fourth quarter. However, their efforts were quickly squashed by the Lady Bullpups, who went on to victory 27-23.
Abby Vaughan was once again atop the leader board with 11 points. She also added 7 rebounds and 2 steals to the books for the Bullpups.
Janes Smith added eight points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals while Emmajoy Gray scored 4 points and had 2 rebounds and Carrie Blankenberger added 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
Olivia Bohleber was a big help for the Bullpups on the boards, leading the team with 9 rebounds. She also added 2 points and 1 steal.
Other Lady Bullpups contributing with stats included Autumn Schneider (1 rebound, 2 steals), Grace Biggerstaff (1 rebound) and Ivory Rhodes (1 rebound).
The eighth grade team is now 3-5 on the year.
Just before the eighth grade game, the seventh grade squad coached by Jenny Howard took the floor against the Lady Mules. The team got off to a rocky start and could never recover, dropping the game 36-15.
A trio of Lady Bullpups led the team in scoring with 4 points apiece. Lily Wenzel had 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal, Julia Smith had 4 points and 5 rebounds and Mayci Edwards had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.
Carlee Hart led the team in rebounds with 9. She also had 3 points and 1 steal.
Other Lady Bullpups contributing to the game included Remi Huff with 2 rebounds and 1 steal, Emily Brown with 1 rebound and Nova Blake with 1 rebound.
The seventh grade team is now 0-4.
Both teams from CWCJHS will be back in action tonight on the road. They will travel to Mt. Vernon, Ind. for a 6 p.m. game.

SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 9, 2014) – San Antonio Rampage General Manager Mike Santos announced today that the American Hockey League (AHL) club has reassigned forward Anthony Luciani to the club's ECHL affiliate, the Cincinnati Cyclones.
Luciani, 23, recorded one assist through two games with the Rampage after his recall on Feb. 4. He has spent the 2013-14 season with Cincinnati, and his 40 points tops all Cyclones skaters after being assigned to the club during training camp at the start of the year. Additionally, he leads the Cyclones in goals with 22 on the year. The 5-foot-8, 190-pound winger was named runner-up for the ECHL Player of the Week for the week ending Jan. 19. In that week, Luciani registered five goals and two assists in three games, with one of his goals coming as the game-winner.
The Maple, Ontario native has just 12 AHL games under his belt between Rochester and San Antonio, with three goals and two assists in that span. In 118 career ECHL games, he's recorded 48 goals and 57 assists.
Luciani began his career with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League, posting 160 points (73g-87a) in 181 career games. He made his professional and AHL debut with Rochester during the 2010-11 season, scoring two goals and adding an assist in three games to cap the season.
The Rampage continue their annual Rodeo Road Trip on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14-15 with a back-to-back with the Grand Rapids Griffins from Van Andel Arena.
Individual and season tickets can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

It seems like most of the jobs I'm receiving, and most of the Internet, is still using standard HTML (HTML 4, let's say) + CSS + JS. Does anyone have any vision on where HTML5 is as a standard, particularly regarding acceptance and diffusion? It's easy to find information about inconsistencies between implementations of HTML5 and so forth. What I want to know about is relevance of HTML5.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'd say definitely get in there and start learning some of the technologies involved. Just be aware that 'HTML 5' right now is actually really a marketing term!
HTML 5 has not been ratified as a standard yet and although all of the major players are throwing their support behind 'HTML 5' they're all actually just implementing bits a pieces of various specs including ECMA script (Java script), CSS, HTML and a whole lot more that I'm not qualified to talk about.
MS for example released IE9 beta to great fanfare in San Fran, highlighting their awesome HTML 5 support. Naturally their IE/GPU enhanced lovely demos didn't quite work so nice on other 'HTML 5' browsers such as the latest Chrome of FF Beta or Opera.
So, um yeah, don't delay in starting to investigate - MS is banking on it heavily (even though they have their Silverlight platform) and I bet you'll see Adobe hedging their bets in the next few years as well.
For production websites that users will use tomorrow? Um don't use 'HTML 5' yet.
Because of Mac/Steve Jobs, "HTML5" is a public term. Meaning, that non-programmers (AKA clients) can recall it, and are often asking for it. So, in that sense, even though it doesn't really exist in a standardized form, but rather WebKit and Firefox's own versions, it already is relevant.
Unfortunately, the inconsistencies you mentioned become our problem. There's also a major lack of software to develop common HTML5 elements. (We have to do everything by hand.)
What it comes down to is this: what do the people with the money want you to do?
Here's a real situation I've run into: 98.5% of the users of my clients website are on PCs running IE (This is actual usage stats here, this is a site for a certain niche market) and .02% of their users were on a mobile device. And within that .02%, 90% where blackberries (Not HTML5-enabled iPhone or Android). BUT, the client owns an iPad. So, naturally after explaining that our clients users would not benefit from the technology... I'm converting Flash content into HTML5.
Why? Because they'll pay hundreds of thousands to be able to show off the website on their iPad.
I know you say you don't want to here about the inconsistencies between implementations of HTML5, but that's a major part of the issue. What ever you create needs to work for your client's users. Often, that means using Flash. And now that Flash is going on more and more mobile devices, having many different versions of HTML5 is only going to be another stepping stone.
At the end of the day, HTML5 is something you should know, but you should never put your eggs in one basket.
I have two quibbles about the question you're asking:
• Which HTML5 are you asking about?
Different groups have different agendas/goals, and what any two groups mean when they each say "HTML5" can be drastically different. Sometimes it's a shorthand for both HTML5 and CSS3. Sometimes HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery. Sometimes they mean the W3C's spec. Sometimes they mean the WHATWG's spec (sadly, the last two aren't identical). And so on.
Before you can get a solid answer to your question, you first have to specify what you mean when you say HTML5.
• It's not really black & white
It's entirely possible to implement parts of HTML5 right now without any problems. Some other parts of it, not so much. But it's not a black or white issue; you don't have to junk everything that works in order to add some of what's in HTML5.
An article I think you might find useful is How to use HTML5 on your website today from InfoWorld, written by, well, me.
If you want to be on the next wave of development, I believe HTML5 will be the next one.
Coding on mobile devices (i.e. phones) is a huge pain. It's not hard to see why. If you've ever owned more than one phone, you know why, because your old charger won't work with the new phone.
Phones are made to be deliberately incompatible with each other. This is changing with the emergence of iPhone and Droid, but still...
Microsoft has highlighted this philosophy by throwing its weight behind HTML5 for future phone development.
ONLY if you are prepared to deal with inconsistencies across the browsers. And then add a flash backup anyway for IE.
I agree with @Pierre 303 - wait a year.
That said, if you are building something new, you build with html5 in mind by adding the bits here and there which are standardized.
p.s. I disagree a little with @Ben. If our agency had told us in the beginning that it would take 2 months instead of 2 weeks, we would have said no. Educate your clients! (but of course accept their money if they stupidly insist.)
Despite warnings from the W3C and the media privacy concern scare I think that pushing forward with new technology is key to staying ahead of the curve. What fun is playing with non-alpha software? Get your feet wet now rather then later when the people that did are leading the pack.
There is a ton of great features HTML5 specs bring, the least of which is video and multimedia. You also have WebSockets which are a huge advancement in async. server communication. Now you can stream real time live data as simply as writing a quick JavaScript Node server and a few lines of client side JS.
Why delay in starting? Balance where you can leverage existing technology for backwards support and new specs to gain access to the advanced feature set supported by modern browsers.
It depends on the application and who would be using it and what your timeline is for development. There is not much point in writing software that most of your potential customers cannot run.
There are portions of HTML 5 that you can adopt right now -- things that work in all browsers, like the html5 doctype declaration, and the
There are plenty of fancy features that are just not ready for prime-time yet. Video? Only if you want to encode it twice. -- You're better off sticking with Flash for now, unless you're targeting mobile. Geolocation? Still unknown. localStorage? Only if you don't want IE users to participate.
Most of the new HTML5 features have been built with good detection options. If the feature is a bell and whistle, you can detect, and only enable it for browsers that support it. Some features can be be emulated on browsers that don't support them. Progressive Enhancement will allow you to adopt features as they become useful, a little at a time.
I think HTML 5 is the future; but as other posts have said it's not prime time yet. Rich Internet Applications (RIA) are coming into greater demand and I use to think Flash/Flex would win that battle over Silverlight and JavaFX. But the iPhone and iPad changed all of that. Flash is out and the HTML 5 canvas tag is its successor.
HTML4 is 13 years old, and still not universally/consistently supported. HTML5 is only about 2 years old, so I'd give it another decade.
Depending on what elements of HTML5 you're referring to, some are only available in FF beta 4 and IE beta 9 right now. I just ran an HTML5 test on FF beta 4 and got a result of 207 out of 300. If you want to try the tester - http://html5test.com/
There are some options for forcing it to work, such as the HTML5 Boilerplate, though I haven't been able to use it yet myself - http://html5boilerplate.com/ And Modernizr can help - http://www.modernizr.com/
That said, my position is to focus more on CSS and JavaScript with a solid base in XHTML 1.1 for now. I like to keep the foundation strong and use progressive enhancement on top of the HTML. Jumping to HTML5 means building ahead and then spending a lot of time making it backwards compatible, instead of making a solid foundation and looking forward. XHTML 1.1 encourages clean coding and is the way I like to code for now.

Mine is just my nickname which I've had since school, it was born out of my Norwegian second name.
Place I was born: Emmen
Place I live: Emmen
Team I support: FC Emmen
You do the math.
My name is Ben and I support Arsenal.

That's a rather unfortunate typo
My second name is STARRett, I tried all sorts of variations of my first name with no luck.
After getting annoyed by "This user name is already in use" (Or whatever it says) I just wrote Starr_Man5, worked first time, much to my annoyance.
I don't like my user name.
my name!
Because it's called football.
Mine is two film references. Droog from A Clockwork Orange and 37 from the films of Kevin Smith.
When turned into Wingdings 3 it becomes a cheat code for one of my favourite games.
mine is inspired by a japanese show called Super Sentai, where the characters have superhero designations which are a combination of the team name (e.g. 'Boukenger') and colour (so you have BoukenRed, BoukenBlack and so on). The Delta part is made up by me (as part of the name of a superhero team of me and my friends in stories I used to write) and Blue is not only my favourite colour but also the colour of my favourite team, Ipswich. which is a very long way of saying 'my fictional superhero designation'.
Smells good. Looks good.
Because its true ;-)
Mine is because of a play I was in 3/4 years ago. I was Disco Stu from The Simpsons (weird I know). Ever since my friends have called me that for some reason. 94 is because it is the year I was born.
Mi ne is tomiscool, because my name is tom and i am cool.
My dads nickname - the © was something fancy I added.
From the Valheru Ashen Shugar....
well my name is tom and i fancied a little smiley face on then end
i support man u and my surname is Moss
Named after the legendary Canvey Island, who I managed in FM06 (after getting sacked from Aris), but said in an Essex accent, which a Canvey Island supporter would probably have.
Mine is named after the former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistlerooy. And 774 because I tried all of the numbers up to and including 773 to no avail

I chose mine for two reasons. Firstly for the last 30 years I have been a serious Star Trek fan and secondly because they probably wouldn't have allowed my original choice Jock Strap . I know that they wouldnt appreciate my odd sense of humour.
<- Cos I like coffee!
My name is from when i created my first e-mail account. The computer coughed up my first name together with the 2 first letters of my second name and surname. That was about 10 yrs ago, and it seems like it's unique. Haven't encountered another user anywhere with that name yet
Because i am a small person named Liam.
patrick was taken so i left out the a and the i..
My name lies
I am Tomas.... Brilliant books.quote:Originally posted by Ashen:

Ehvan is the name of a character I played/play in some online RPGs, have had the name since about 1999? Wanted something fantasy sounding, was 15...it worked. HSV because they're the family team.
Because my nickname is chappie and the .dm because I've run a game of D&D for more years than I care to admit!
ch - where i live
uk - nationality
Back on the first Pro Evo when they had the "Classic" teams for Italy, Brazil, etc but couldn't use real names for the players Marco van Basten was called von Tasben. Remove the space and capitalisation and there you have it.
Marc - My Name
FTM - Sunderland saying "F**k The Mags"
was reading paulo coelho's The Alchemist. XI was a tribute to the little blobs that's lighting up my fm game.
Because my name is Craig Hopper. Put the first letter of my first name together with my last name and you get the nickname I got throughout school and now have when playing 5-a-side.
The 99 is because I first used this as a name on the internet in 1999.
I used to play a lot of Call of Duty onlione and needed a nick for that. I'd just been reading Slaughterhouse 5, and so chose "Pilgrim" as I wasn't very good at Call of Duty and rarely really knew what was happening on the servers...
When I came to reg here I used Pilgrim for that reason. Then I forgot my login details and ended up changing my email so I had to create a new account, and so I needed to add the "UK" bit.
I am not, have never been, and do not intend to become, a Plymouth fan.
Bod, because that has been my nickname for the past 20 years . 33 because that is my age, well 34 now.
sorry got confused with another login. 1035 is just random
My name is Tie, just put my name into the song "Old McDonald had a farm"... It started at a May long weekend camp out over beers and guitars.
In honour of managing the team with the greatest name. And proud of taking a Finnish club from relegation to Champions league group stages. All hail Matti Lahitie.
my surname makes up the last 6 letters of my nick...
guess how long it took for poeple to start calling me Chilliconcarnie....
I'm old and boring.
My original name on these forums was Jimbokav71 back in 2003/04(ish), as it was the start of the email address I had. Then I changed ISP's and email addresses and was to stupid to work out how to get SI to send me my sign in info so I re-registered with my new email address Jimbokav1971, (which is a mix of my forename and surname and my year of birth).
Told you I was old and boring (and stupid).
Because my name is James Clench
you cant get much simpler than that!!
I like to drink my username with some coke (the beverage, not the powder)
Inspired by the brilliant House of Pain song 'Danny boy':
"Chop suey don't do me no good, I gotta have corn beef and cabbage
If I wanna manage"(...)
That's all there is to it. A bit weird, but reasonably original if I may say so myself.
xouman comes from showman. A ski teacher called me so watching me skiing, I did in a particular way (I was learning ). Quickly everybody called me showman because that teacher was quite popular. But showman is too common so I changed it to xouman.
I randomly joined this forum to ask one question and never thought I would be back again. Apparently I was wrong.
My username helps me to remember my real name. Also I worry I might forget where I live.
smith = last name
69 = looks like my star sign, Pisces
gers = my team
Tom - First name
Lat - First 3 letters out me 2nd name
There we haver TomLat
Cos I couldn't come up with an interesting username but you can't leave it blank.
Bit boring really - the team I support.
At the time when I registered here I was a total newbie to internett community and had a friend helping me out. Because of me needing help he tought I was a vegetable and called me Veg instead of Leo. And after several request the mods haven't changed my username
I should have thought it was obvious.

Trekman means in dutch slang **********man.
Because it is my name?
rtik = arctic but how i say it,
-1 = 1 because the name might have been taken,
-one = somebody could have take rtik-1,
My mates say I'm cold as ar-tic because i don't say the "c" so i use it as a badly spellled nickname.
not too much guess work? im full of meself!
Tom short for Thomas,L cause my surname starts with one of those.
Mine is from a segment on Fantasy Football (ah, the memories!) about Mr Stimpson, the pub owner from Peterborough.
I was about 12 and copied the scene. Stimpson became Stimps and 2 is my footie number.
As simple as that....
Anyone who knows Tolkein's "The Hobbit" well will know where my username comes from, anyone who doesn't won't care. As far as I recall it is never mentioned in Lord of the Rings, but probably gets a mention in some of those books on the history of Middle Earth that I've never bothered reading.
I guess I ought to re-read The Hobbit since I haven't done for many years so can only just remember that Glamdring, Gandalf's sword, was picked up from the troll's lair.
Its what people call me.

BELLAIRE - One out away from winning a battle of Ohio Valley Athletic Conference softball champions, the wheels fell off the St. John Central wagon Thursday afternoon.
Leading 2-0, the Class A champion Irish watched as Steubenville Catholic rallied for three runs with two outs in the top of the seventh to claim a thrill-packed, 3-2, verdict on sun-splattered Amanda's Field.
The victory duplicated the feat the top-seeded Crusaders pulled off last Saturday in winning the Class 2A title, 8-7, over Wheeling Central, also in their last at-bat.
Article Photos
AND THE PITCH — Steubenville Catholic Central pitcher ALex McComb delivers a pitch during the Crusaders' 3-2 win over St. John Central Thursday in New Manchester.
-- Kim North
Both teams are now 18-3.
"When you get Steubenville Catholic and St. John together, that's two solid ball teams and two quality, consistent programs," longtime St. John Central head coach Jerry Magistro said. "You couldn't have asked for more tonight."
Veteran Steubenville Catholic head coach Jim DiCarlo echoed Magistro's thoughts.
"I have a lot of respect for St. John," DiCarlo noted. "Jerry does a very nice job with his program."
Hannah Absalom was sailing along despite a triple-digit temperature. The hard-throwing junior had only allowed a leadoff double to Maddy Gulan in the second before encountering the late-inning troubles when she seemed to be pitching on fumes.
She got a popup to herself for the first out and then recorded her 14th strikeout. However, she walked Fran Capaldi, the Crusaders' No. 9 hitter, on four pitches. Left-handed hitting Micca Mirabella, who hadn't hit the ball out of the infield in three prior trips to the plate, lined a 2-2 offering to deep left-center for a run-scoring triple. Sammi Giannamore then laced an 0-2 pitch into the same gap to tie the game at 2.
On the very next pitch, Taylor Clark, playing with a torn ACL, pounded a double to the fence in left that plated Giannamore with the go-ahead, and eventual game-winning, run.
"We've just done it all year long," DiCarlo said of the comeback. "We've had 10 close games, and we've won them all. I don't know what it is, but I think our kids do believe in what we're doing.
"I saw us battling. I thought if we could get one big hit, that could lead to another, and it did."
The loss spoiled a splendid performance by Absalom.
"Hannah is one of the top two of three pitchers in the Ohio Valley," said DiCarlo. "She knows how to pitch. She's just not a thrower. She can move it (the ball) in or out, up and down. I know she wasn't 100 percent tonight, but she still pitched a very good game."
Magistro agreed.
"For Hannah to go out there and pitch like she did against a team like Steubenville Central, or anybody for that fact, in a game that wasn't a tournament game or anything, I take my hat off to her.
"She went out there and did what she had to do under those conditions. She hung in there for as long as she could."
The Irish, who have lost three times by a total of four runs, didn't give up as Absalom doubled over the centerfielder's head leading off.
With one out, Caitlin Sliva singled for the third time in the game as Absalom was held at third. After Sliva stole second uncontested and the second out was recorded, DiCarlo opted to intentionally walk Kristen Russell, who had already singled and doubled. The ploy worked as Alex McComb got a game-ending strikeout.
St. John grabbed the early lead as Kaydie Coppa singled leading off the bottom of the first. When the ball skipped past the leftfielder, she raced around to third. Morgan DeLuca's soft liner over short brought in Coppa.
Russell banged a leadoff double to left-center in the second. She scored on Cheyenne Harris's single to right for a 2-0 reading.
The Irish had plenty of opportunities to add additional runs, but stranded 11 runners on base, seven of those in scoring position. The left at least one runner on in every inning except the sixth, and left the bases juiced in the fifth and seventh frames.
Harris joined Sliva and Russell with multi-hit games as she singled twice.

What is the best method of removing weeds from between the bricks of a patio? We have a dog and don't want to use toxic chemicals if possible. The bricks are closely spaced, probably only about 1/10 inch between them.
Your best bet would be a propane fueled flame weeder — something like this. Since the surrounding material (brick) is non-flammable, you can easily direct the flame in the cracks/gaps and burn the weeds out. This is a very effective method of getting rid of weeds from landscaping stones. See also this answer on using the flame weeder.
Kill the weeds:
or ...
Once they are dead, consider pouring some salt between the bricks, at least in those areas where you are having the most problems.
I spent 6 years as a stone worker installing and repairing numerous types of stone patios. The best solution I have used on numerous client's stone installations to inhibit weed growth is to MANUALLY scrape them and the topmost layer of soil/dirt that has collected within the cracks. Removing all of the jointing sand from between them down about 1/4 - 1/2 inch. This is a time consuming task, but one that prepares for the best "next step"
Polymeric sand is a polymer-based jointing agent that replaces the typical sand/stone dust finish coat. Though stonedust and sand work as a great binding agent for the stone/brick, it also is easy for roots of weeds to work into.
Polymeric sand is swept into the cracks of the patio area as a finish coat, and then a GENTLE LIGHT SPRINKLE of water is applied to it to "bond" the fine particles together into a spongey, rubber like jointing material. It sheds water beautifully after is sets up, and inhibits weed growth for nearly two seasons.
A reapply is needed, but at a 1/3 of the rate of sand/stonedust solutions. And best of all... it is not a chemical.
I use a weed-whacker. If you have moss or similar that you'd like to keep, this allows you to kill the tall stuff without killing the moss. In our climate, at least, once a weed between bricks has been whacked down once or twice, it doesn't come back.
Back when I lived in the city, my neighbour used boiling water for this. It looks rather odd to be outside with a kettle, but she swore by it. You want to be careful not to spill or splash on your legs or feet, but it's probably safer than the flamethrower and you don't need to buy or rent anything. I suspect it's easier on the concrete and bricks than salt or vinegar, also.
On our rural property we have basically set it up so this isn't a problem, but we do have a patio with "tiles" 16" on a side. If anything grows between them we just pull it up by hand.
I have found that weed killer works just fine. I used Spectracide Weed and Grass Killer on my brick patio and was able to pull up the dead weeds from their roots just a few days later. Follow directions that come with the product and you should have no more weed problems.

Implementing Coherence Cache-Aside pattern using Coherence Goldengate Adapter
By Satyajith Nair on Mar 08, 2013
A common requirement in Enterprise SOA Initiatives is to create a Business Look-up data cache which contains business look-up data. This data is used across the organization and controls the behavior of various organization processes, business calculations and is also used for populating drop-down lists in the Business Application User Interfaces.
This look-up data also requires to be maintained because as the Business changes, there is change to this look-up data. Hence a business friendly user interface needs to be designed for this look-up data.
Oracle Coherence can be used to store this data in memory for efficient and fast look-ups. The data can be persisted in an Oracle Database. It is recommended to have the entire data set being stored in the cache so that there are no cache misses. This kind of a solution typically ends up using a Cache-Aside Pattern. In this pattern the cache data is entirely managed by the application developer. A representation of this pattern is given here.
One of the key challenges in this architecture is identifying what data has changed in the persistent store and updating the cache with the changed data. As represented above, this requires complex custom programming for each data element. This is a very brittle integration and will become a maintenance nightmare as the data structure changes over time.
This is where the Coherence Goldengate Adapter (yet to be released as of the date of writing this blog) will play a big role. Instead of having some kind of custom programming, triggers etc on the persistent data store, Goldengate can extract the changed data from the persistent data store database logs and update the coherence cache directly. This greatly simplifies the architecture and makes the implementation of the Cache-Aside Pattern very easy. The new pattern is represented here.
Benefits of this architecture –
1. Simplify development of Cache-Aside Pattern for Coherence implementations
2. Maintenance of the Cache-Data Store integration becomes simpler and easier
3. Update the cache without firing any query on the persistent data store
4. Capture the changes in real-time and update the cache automatically

I'm running off of a thumb drive with very average read/write speeds and automatic update checks makes the bootup far less pleasant. Since I manually update via apt there's truly no need to notify me like on a normal desktop. In older versions of Ubuntu there was an item to disable this behavior. On 12.04 this is no longer the case. would it be the 'unattended-upgrades' item in /etc/init.d? If yes, would simply removing the init script would solve my problem?
For any future duckduckgo-ers (yeah, I'm calling it that, sue me), here's a solution:
Enter this in the terminal. It will allow displaying of 'hidden' startup services.
Afterwards, search 'startup applications' in the dash and launch it. It will show a host of options previously hidden. Uncheck the update notifier.
To hide everything back again, run the following:

For $x > 0$, $y > 0$, $z > 0$, prove:
$$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} \geq \frac{9}{x+y+z} .$$
I can see that this is true, I also checked it with a few numbers. But I guess that is not enough to prove it. So how can I prove it?
(You don't need to show the whole proof, I think just a hint will be enough. I simply don't know how to start.)

WEIRTON - Weirton Medical Center recently was recognized for its quality of care by the Highmark West Virginia Hospital QualityBlue Pay for Performance Program.
The program challenges hospitals to raise standards for quality and efficiency in patient care delivery, according to officials.
A Highmark official told Weirton Medical Center that the efforts in the past year "demonstrate a commitment to advancing a culture of quality and patient safety for your patients, families and communities you serve."
Weirton Medical Center was recognized for its quality programs in surgical safety and perinatal care.
The surgical safety initiative involved the promotion of safe practices during the perioperative period and the use of evidence-based practices, including the appropriate selection and timing of antibiotics and the incorporation of the World Health Organization's safety checklist.
The initiative's goal was to eliminate surgical site infections and provide better outcomes for the patient.
Perinatal care was aimed at eliminating elective deliveries prior to 39 weeks' gestation. This provides safer care for the mother and the baby. The initiative is based on the Institutes for Healthcare Improvement's idealized design for perinatal care.
"We are delighted to have been recognized by Highmark for our quality initiatives in these areas," said Charles M. O'Brien Jr., Weirton Medical Center's chief executive officer. "This recognition is the result of the excellent dedication and teamwork by our physicians, clinical staff and managers."
Pay for Performance is a concept developed by insurers to pay hospitals based on their performance in meeting certain quality criteria. Highmark has been operating the QualityBlue program for 11 years and has said that it will become a primary method of reimbursing hospitals for patient care in coming years.
Calendar year 2012 will be Weirton Medical Center's second year participating in the Highmark QualityBlue program.

Ansonia quarterback near full strength
Ansonia football coach Tom Brockett said after the Chargers' 49-27 Class S semifinal win over Rocky Hill that quarterback Jai'Quan McKnight continues to make progress. McKnight sat out most of the Chargers' game against Naugatuck on Thanksgiving day after spraining his ankle on the second series of the game. He also sat out Ansonia's quarterfinal win over Coginchaug.
In Saturday's semifinal game he played most of the game and completed three of six passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns. He ran with the ball just once for four yards. He currently has 493 rushing yards on the season so there is still more of an impact that he can have as he gets back healthier.
"He is getting close to being 100 percent," Brockett said. "We thought about playing him on defense, and we didn't. We were able to get by. But hopefully by (Friday night) he will be 100 percent and ready to go on both sides of the ball."
Another record: The Chargers already have the most CIAC state playoff title game appearances (26) and state championships (18). Friday night, they have an opportunity to become the first team in state history to win 15 games during a season. Ansonia has won 14 twice before during undefeated seasons, but they are already 14-0 going into this year's title game.
Impressive record: Brockett has a chance to win his 100th game Friday. Only in his eighth season as the Ansonia head coach, he improved to 99-7, a winning percentage of 93.4, with the state semifinal victory. His career record in state playoff games is 15-3 with a mark of 4-2 in state title games.
Undefeated tailback: Since the Chargers inserted Arkeel Newsome into the lineup as their starting tailback at the start of the 2011 season, they have not lost a game. They have run off a program-record 42 consecutive victories.
As a backup tailback his freshman year, however, Newsome was part of an Ansonia team that lost in the 2010 state championship game to St. Joseph's. Does he even remember what it feels like to lose?
"No, I don't. I don't," Newsome said. "I don't ever want that feeling. Ever. We have just been winning so much."

Perfect brownies? I just call this limiting my overall brownie yield.
@starbob: I hear ya, brother. I voted this deal up for the price/quantity ratio, and Roshco is a decent brand. I am a brownie purist and bake them in a standard pan so those who like the crusty pieces are satisfied. I prefer the gooey centers but if I were to purchase another pan specifically for brownies, I would try one of the serpentine pans that produce 2 edges on all but the end pieces.
Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Bakers-Edge-Nonstick-Brownie-Pan/dp/B000MMK448
Not even close to a "perfect" brownie pan. The perfect brownie is always the middle one. Soft and chewy all the way to the end. No crispy edges.
This is as bad as the all edge lasagna pan.
Still voted up because it's a good deal for people interested. 3 pans for $16 is a deal.
This just looks like a square cupcake pan to me. And I agree that the best brownies are the center ones with no crunchy edges.
I have been looking into these pans just this week! Not for brownies, because as most of you have said I also consider the gooey center one to be the perfect brownie. But I have been experimenting with corn dog muffins and I think these pans might give me a better hot dog/muffin ratio than a traditional muffin pan. Anyone know the actual size of the openings in the pan?
