Offensive line, defense key Madonna's state semifinal double OT victory
PARSONS, W.Va. - The deck was stacked against the Madonna football team in Saturday's West Virginia Class A state championship semifinals at Class of 1984 Stadium.
The Blue Dons traveled three hours, where No. 1-seeded Tucker Valley was waiting for them, and standout running back and linebacker Nick Ossman saw limited action due to an injury sustained in last week's quarterfinal win over St. Marys.

GAME-WINNER — Weirton Madonna quarterback Ross Comis runs through a gaping hole to score the game-winning touchdown in the second overtime Saturday. The Blue Dons defeated No. 1-ranked Tucker County, 20-14, in the West Virginia Class A state semifinals. Madonna, the No. 4 seed, will meet No. 3 Wahama at 7 p.m. Saturday at Wheeling Island Stadium for the state championship.

SACKED — Weirton Madonna middle linebacker Travis Brown sacks Tucker County quarterback Derek Nestor as teammate Tyler Ewusiak prepares to help in the second half of Saturday's 20-14 double overtime victory by the Blue Dons in the West Virginia Class A state semfinals.
All that, plus two overtimes, weren't enough to derail Madonna as the No. 4 seed Blue Dons topped the Mountain Lions 20-14 in double overtime to advance to the West Virginia Class A final.
"We knew it was going to be a tough game coming into Tucker County and playing the No. 1 team in the state," said Madonna head coach Doug Taylor. "They had that ranking for a reason. They were up to holding that status, but we're proud of the way our kids played. That was a long trip for us, kind of out of our habits.
"It's a great win. Madonna hasn't been to the state finals in three years, and for the last seven or eight years it's either been Williamstown, Wheeling Central or Madonna. We kept the tradition going. It's Madonna in this year."

Tucker County had the first possession of the second overtime and faced a third-and-eight from the 18. Quarterback Derek Nestor dropped back to pass and was crushed from behind by a blitzing Eliott Nero who forced a fumble that was recovered by teammate Josh Martin to end Tucker County's opportunity.
"They put me in for James Fulciniti at middle linebacker, and I had never played that before," said Nero. "They just told me to bring heat off the edge, I brought it, and luckily it came out our way."
Added Martin, "I've always wanted to touch the ball in a game, and it felt great doing it. I was so excited when I had that it didn't feel real."
Three Ross Comis runs of 9, 10, and 1 yard later and Madonna had its ticket punched to Wheeling Island Stadium.
"It felt amazing," said Comis of his scoring run. "A lot of hard work has gone into this game to get into the next one, which is our ultimate goal. It really feels surreal that we're in the state championship."
Added Martin of the offensive line, "We stepped up. We felt the pressure, but we knew as a line we had to step up. We made some mistakes in the first half, but we put it together in that second overtime."
In the first overtime, Madonna was stopped on fourth-and-goal from the 1 and the Mountain Lions failed on a 37-yard field goal try to set up Nero, Martin, and Comis' series of heroics.
The Blue Dons had a shot to end things in regulation after a Nero punt return gave them the ball in Tucker territory with 32 seconds remaining. A trio of Comis runs put the ball at the 3 with 5.2 seconds left, setting up Matthew Green for a 19-yard field goal attempt. Unfortunately for Madonna the kick failed and Tucker took a knee with 2.2 left to send the game to overtime.
"I told the kicker don't worry about it, were going to win this in overtime," said Taylor. "I had faith in our kids. I figured we'd go out and win."
Added Comis, "I felt bad when Matt Green missed that field goal, and I told him I'd get it back, and I thought about that when I stepped in the end zone for the win."
The Blue Dons started the night's scoring thanks to a Tucker County miscue. Forced to punt, the snap flew over the head of the punter, setting up Madonna at the Mountain Lions' 22-yard line.
Nero punched in from two yards out to complete the short drive and Green put the PAT through for the 7-0 lead with 4:07 left in the first quarter.
Nero carried the load for a struggling Blue Dons' offense in the first half with eight carries for 43 yards rushing and four grabs for 34 yards.
"This is a tough football team, and you feel like you want to put the team on your back when they're struggling," said Nero. "This is the state semifinal. You want to step up for your team here."
Tucker tied things up at the 9:55 mark of the second quarter. Austin Zirk scored from 1-yard out. A 35-yard screen pass from Nestor to Zach Armstrong put the ball at the 1. The extra point was true and the game was tied at seven.
That score held at halftime thanks to the Tucker defense forcing a pair of turnovers of downs in the red zone.
Comis, who struggled in the first half, came out strong in the second half with a tackle for loss on the first play and stepped up with a pair of scores after intermission as well as some key completions and defense plays.
He led the Blue Dons on a drive that culminated with his own 4-yard rushing TD with 1:58 left in the third quarter. Garrett Hypes and Marcello Biondillo had key receptions of 16 and 22 yards respectively on the drive.
A fourth down conversion helped the Mountain Lions tie the score with 5:10 left in the game. Nestor hit Tyler Snyder for a 16-yard completion down to the 4 on fourth-and-five. Two plays later Nestor pushed in on a QB sneak and the point after tied the game at 14.
Defense spurred the Blue Dons to the victory as Tucker managed only 165 yards of offense 60 on the ground and 105 through the air. The Mountain Lions had no yards and a turnover during the overtime periods.
"Our defense held up pretty good in the overtime, as well as they did the rest of the game," said Taylor. "I thought we played pretty good defensively."
Offensively Comis had 102 yards on the ground on 27 carries with two touchdowns. 21 of those carries for 99 yards came after the first half including both TDs. He also completed 11 of 22 throws for 138 yards.
"We struggled offensively a little bit," said Taylor. "That's hats off to them. They did some things defensively that kind of screwed up our run game. We did what we needed to do to win, and that's the most important thing. It's not style points, it's about getting the W."
Madonna advances to face No. 3 seed Wahama, 10-7 winners over Magnolia, in a rematch of a regular season game from last year that saw the Blue Dons fall 33-0.
"I don't know a whole lot about them," said Taylor. "All I know is we played them last year in the regular season and they kicked our butts severely down at Fairmont State, and they must be pretty good if they beat Magnolia because that's a darn good football team. We'll do our film exchange tomorrow, take tomorrow afternoon off, and get to work."
Added Comis, "It actually feels awesome because last year Wahama put a beat down on us 33-0, and going through these playoffs I always said I wanted to play Wahama in the state championship.
"It's finally here and I want another shot at these guys."

In ArcView, can I add an image to a label?
Assume I have the photograph path as an attribute.
in the label symbol dialog you can set the text background to a symbol marker
then marker text background
Another way is to use the ballon callout
Another choice would be to use a point feature class and put the layer in the mxd twice. Once for the symbol, and a second for the label. Use a picture marker symbol
as the symbol and use offset xy to move it away from the original point marker.
You can use a bitmap image inside the label symbol itself but i've had nothing but trouble with this approach when it come to exporting the map to a file or outputting it to plotter/printer. The "image labels" do not render well. Some do not appear at all some do others come out rendered only partially. There is no out-of-the-box solution I know of that will allow you to dynamically display images inside of a label symbol using a path stored in the attribute.

Seaside Soiree
Beach-loving beauties took a nostalgic trip to O.C.'s shores during the Crystal Cove Alliance's vintage-inspired gala, aptly themed Wish You Were Here. The 420 guests bid on silent auction prizes, dined on a gourmet meal—prepared by The Resort at Pelican Hill's Executive Chef Jean-Pierre Dubray and other culinary talents—and danced to breezy tunes from Wayne Foster Entertainment. But the wave-making moment came with the news that the nonprofit had raised more than $285,000 to conserve the historic spot's coastline, and backcountry and offshore habitats. Ah, life really is better at the sea.

Is there any excel sheet template, or some simple file format which can be used for GTD task tracking? This is basically required for Windows Platform. I have been using Things on my home Mac and iPhone. But in office no similar software available for tracking. So switching to excel sheet on Windows.
Switching to Windows doesn't mean you're forced to use a simple text file or Excel spreadsheet, there are plenty of alternatives out there. I'd suggest a web-based system such as Remember The Milk, Nirvana, or ToodleDo, as they're accessible from any operating system or location (as long as you have Internet access). That would also allow you to manage home and work in the same GTD system (as there's no need to have separate home and work systems in GTD--both have related tasks, they're just in different contexts).
However, if you need to use a simple Word or Excel document, it should be fairly easy to set up a collection of lists (inbox, next actions, someday/maybe, waiting, etc.). In Excel, you could have a worksheet for each. Contexts could be tracked in a separate column, so you could easily sort by context.
Or you could implement a more advanced system like the one J.T. Hurley shared above. But in my opinion, that's just reinventing the wheel. Better to use an existing system (under active development to add new features) than to make your own from scratch.

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Sociologist)
Sociology is the scientific study of human society and its origins, development, organizations, and institutions.

A - F[edit]
- Good sociology is sociological work that produces meaningful descriptions of organizations and events, valid explanations of how they come about and persist, and realistic proposals for their improvement or removal.

- To have given clear and unified answers in familiar empirical terms to those theoretical questions which most occupied men's minds at the time, and to have deduced from them clear practical directives without creating obviously artificial links between the two, was the principle achievement of Marx's theory. The sociological treatment of historical and moral problems, which Comte and after him, Spencer and Taine, had discussed and mapped, became a precise and concrete study only when the attack of militant Marxism made its conclusions a burning issue, and so made the search for evidence more zealous and the attention to method more intense.
- Isaiah Berlin Karl Marx: His Life and Environment. 3rd edition (1967). Time Inc Book Division, New York. pp. 13-14
- I often say that sociology is a martial art, a means of self-defense. Basically, you use it to defend yourself, without having the right to use it for unfair attacks.
- Pierre Bourdieu (2000) La Sociologie est un sport de combat; Cited in: John Horne, Wolfram Manzenreiter (2004) Football Goes East. p. xii
- Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
- Ray Bradbury (1953) Fahrenheit 451 p. 61
- Within sociology there have been several system theories, differing from one another in the extent to which, for example, human agency, creativity, and entrepreneurship are assumed to play a role in system formation and reformation; conflict and struggle are taken into account; power and stratification are part and parcel of the theory; structural change and transformation – and more generally, historically developments – are taken into account and explained. What the various system theories have in common is a systematic concern with complex and varied interconnections and interdependencies of social life. Complexity has been a central concept for many working in the systems perspective. The tradition is characterized to a great extent by a burning ambition and hope to provide a unifying language and conceptual framework for all the social sciences.
- Tom R. Burns (2006) "System Theories" in: George Ritzer ed. The Encyclopedia of Sociology, Blackwell Publishing.
- Comte gave a powerful impetus to the development of sociology, an impetus which bore fruit in the later decades of the nineteenth century. To say this is certainly not to claim that French sociologists such as Durkheim were devoted disciples of the high priest of positivism. But by insisting on the irreducibility of each of his basic sciences to the particular science of sciences which it presupposed in the hierarchy and by emphasizing the nature of sociology as the scientific study of social phenomena Comte put sociology on the map. To be sure, [its] beginnings can be traced back well beyond Montesquieu, for example, and to Condorcet, not to speak of Saint-Simon, Comte's immediate predecessor. But Comte's clear recognition of sociology as a particular science, with a character of its own, justified Durkheim in regarding him as the father or founder of this science, in spite of the fact that Durkheim did not accept the idea of the three states and criticized Comte's approach to sociology.
- Frederick Copleston A History of Philosophy: IX Modern Philosophy (1994). Image Books, New York. p. 118
G - L[edit]
- The critique of Parsons exploded sociological theory into a thousand glittering but laughably parochial fragments of nano-theories. The contemporary culture of sociology is to treat social theory as set of personal expressions of literati and pseudo-philosophers. Surveying contemporary sociological theory is like going to the art museum. There we see lots of brilliant works, each the product of an artist's imagination. Certainly there is no attempt by artists to form a unified aesthetic vision. Nor should there be. But science is not art. A science becomes mature when the efforts of all researchers are coordinated by an underlying core model. This truth is denied in contemporary sociological culture.
- Herbert Gintis, Review of An Invitation to Reflexive Sociology (December 6, 2009)
- The social scientist is in a difficult, if not impossible position. On the one hand there is the temptation to see all of society as one's autobiography writ large, surely not the path to general truth. On the other, there is the attempt to be general and objective by pretending that one knows nothing about the experience of being human, forcing the investigator to pretend that people usually know and tell the truth about important issues, when we all know from our lives how impossible that is. How, then, can there be a "social science"? The answer, surely, is to be less ambitious and stop trying to make sociology into a natural science although it is, indeed, the study of natural objects. There are some things in the world that we will never know and many that we will never know exactly. Each domain of phenomena has its characteristic grain of knowability. Biology is not physics, because organisms are such complex physical objects, and sociology is not biology because human societies are made by self-conscious organisms. By pretending to a kind of knowledge that it cannot achieve, social science can only engender the scorn of natural scientists and the cynicism of the humanists.

As a key architect of the U.K.'s Big Society project, Phillip Blond will apply lessons from the recent U.K. riots to our American political scene, including the current Occupy Wall Street movement, in a presentation he will deliver on Friday, October 14, at New York University, starting at 4:00 p.m. Blond's ResPublica has ridden to sudden prominence with radical solutions aimed at restoring civil society, re-moralizing the marketplace, and recapitalizing the poor. The think tank's ideas make up a substantial part of the United Kingdom's new Localism Bill, now close to passage.
Sponsored by NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the talk, entitled "The Broken Society vs. The Big Society," takes place in Room 808 of NYU"s Kimmel Center for University Life, 60 Washington Square South, corner of LaGuardia Place, New York, N.Y. The event extends from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. It's free and open to the public.
RSVP is required – visit http://wagner.nyu.edu/events/politics-10-14-2011. Media coverage is invited – contact Robert Polner at 212 998 2337 or robert.polner(at)nyu.edu.
Blond is a graduate of Peterhouse, Cambridge, a student of John Milbank, and a former lecturer in theology at Cumbria. He has been called the "Philosopher King" of the David Cameron government and espouses what might be described as a neo-distributist approach to politics with cooperatives, localized "non-state mutualism" and other policies that do not fit neatly in any of the current political boxes. He offers a critique across the board of the centralized state, big business, banking, and the unregulated free market, and calls for a renewal of morality in the market and the institutions of society. British Prime Minister Cameron's "Big Society" is an attempt to try these ideas in the laboratory of a real country.

[edit] More details
I am not using Flash IDE. I am using:
- Inkscape (for SVG generation)
- swfmill (to create asset files)
- haXe (to create animations)
I am not at this point trying to build games or anything interactive. I have managed to create a simple animation where a background sprite is spinning (and that's it). I used
TimerEvents to achieve this. But instead I would really like to be able to construct a MovieClip and attach individual frames on it and then play it on loop.
Alternatively I can create a MovieClip and just draw on it frame by frame programmatically. (and then of course play in loop)
Basically I would like to use ActionScript to generate content instead of swfmill's XML (not the
simple dialect,
simple is fine). Since I am a beginner I don't know what other information I can give you. So please tell me if I can supply any other details?

NEW MARTINSVILLE - Nobody had to explain to Magnolia's Drew Keller the importance of his team's game with Monroe Central Friday at Alumni Field.
With a 2-3 start, three losses that could have gone either way, there was little margin for error.
Keller did his part to make sure the Blue Eagles stayed in the playoff picture, rushing for 148 yards on 16 carries including a 1-yard touchdown, returning an interception 40 yards for a score and making himself a general nuisance to the Seminoles in the Blue Eagles' 32-8 win.
For good measure he also recovered a fumble in a huge fourth quarter and even broke off a 94-yard non-scoring run that turned out to be huge in the scheme of things.
"He's an outstanding back and he did a great job for us tonight," Magnolia coach Mark Batton said. "To be sick (he was battling a stomach bug) he had some game. He was catching a touchdown pass from hitting for the cycle tonight."
It was an early turnover, a fumble recovered by Kyle Ritz at the Seminoles 13, that set off a chain of events that got the Blue Eagles rolling.
Five plays later Keller scored from 1-yard out to give Magnolia (3-3) a 7-0 lead.
"That is the third game in a row that we have given away an early score," Monroe Central (3-3) coach Jay Circosta said. "You can't give a good team like Magnolia, and we knew how good they were, despite what the record shows."
Not that there wasn't an ample opportunity for the visitors to get back in the game. On several occasions.
Early in the second, Bryan Duffy recovered a Magnolia fumble at the Blue Eagles' 45.
Magnolia returned the favor when Grant Cain intercepted a Curtis Nixon pass in the end zone. Instead of downing the ball, Cain opted to run it out, eluding several Seminoles, and returned it only to the 5-yard line.
No problem. Keller simply broke off a 94-yard run and was tracked down at the opposite 1.
With Keller winded and cramping, quarterback Jacob Brill took it the final yard to give Magnolia a 13-0 halftime lead.
The Seminoles defense flipped a switch in the second half, hold Magnolia to negative-10 yards and got on the board when Nixon hooked up with Duffy on a 23-yard scoring toss, making it 13-8.
The opportunities began to wane in the fourth though, and Brill hooked up with Ritz, who made a diving catch in the back of the end zone with 8:50 remaining, to extend the lead to make it 20-8.
Keller ended it 34 seconds later with a 40-yard interception return for a score.
For good measure he recovered a Seminole fumble three plays later to set up Yale Wetzel's 33-yard touchdown run.
The Magnolia defense did yeoman's work on defense, holding Levi Brown (17 carries, 32 yards) and Nixon (10-26) to just 58 yards rushing combined and no touchdowns.
"If you can't run the football you are going to have a hard time winning a high school football game," Circosta said. "Levi ran the ball hard, he just didn't have anywhere to run. We'd get a couple of positive plays then we'd have a negative play."
For Magnolia, the game answered the question of what residual effect last week's 27-20 last minute loss to Wheeling Central would remain.
"I'm proud of the kids for putting that devastating loss behind them to come out and have a good week of practice and then play well tonight," Batton said. "We had to get to .500. We know what position we are in and we know we have to win. There are a lot of points left on the board but at this point, it's about coming out and playing well and winning games."

How do I protect my laptop in a hot and dusty situation?
I need to use my laptop this summer for a music festival. It is in an open field in the middle of July. It is very dusty and very warm. I have purchased a keyboard skin to protect the dust from getting in that way. I've got a laptop cooling pad to help prevent it from overheating since it will be rather warm. The problem is, of course, the vents. I'm afraid to cover them with anything to prevent airflow. Any ideas on how to keep the dust out of the vents? Anything else I should be worried about?
2 Answers answer
You've probably done what you can. If it were me, I'd find some way to do without it, although I recognize that it may just not be possible for you to do so. I'd use actual pen and paper, or a cheap tablet, but your consumer grade laptop is almost certainly not cut out for the environment you're about to dump it into. There are things like Panasonic Toughbooks which have some amazing qualities, but I'm quite sure that it would be cheaper for you to buy a used laptop and sacrifice it than to buy a Panasonic (one that would work for you will cost a minimum of 4k-5k).
Heat will be your greater problem. Don't cover up the fans; that will be worse than the dust that might get drawn in.
Is it at all possible for you to use a phone instead? There's some pretty decent phones out there, nowadays, and they'll be far more tolerant of both the dust and the heat.
What's the max heat you expect? Is it possible to substitute something else?
Some places sell port covers and/or inserts. Might look in to that.
But I've been using an old Acer laptop at softball fields (VERY dusty) and soccer fields (less dusty, but hellishly hot) for years with no problem. I've shaded it when it was very hot, but that's about it. Upgraded to a new Samsung and again, no problems (mostly in the cold & windy & dusty so far).
Something else to think about is rain. I found that those clear dry-cleaning clothes bags are great. The hole in the top where the hangar head goes through is perfect for power & audio cables. You just have to cut it down a little or it's too long.

Ryan Marx, Owner/Head Instructor at Carmi Taekwondo Center, recently attended a tournament in Terre Haute, Ind. The tournament was hosted by Minton's ATA Black Belt Academy of Terre Haute, Ind.
Marx competed in the Men's Fourth and Fifth Degree Black Belt division placing third in Forms and first in Sparring. Marx advanced to the final round of sparring with a 5-1 victory over Tom McKinney Jr. of Terre Haute, Ind. In the final match Marx drew #1 world ranked Adam Hess of Indianapolis, Ind. The match went the full time with Marx edging Hess out by a score of 3-2.
American Taekwondo Association tournaments are controlled competitive environments that allow practitioners to display and improve their skills in a safe environment. Although some may think it is all about "who is better", that is only a part of their purpose in Songahm Taekwondo.
Tournaments are not just for a trophy. They allow members to meet new people, make new friends, put nerves to the test, and display skills. By focusing on these purposes, it is very possible to be happy whether one wins or loses.

I already have the cable cable kind with the combination lock. It just seems cheap and easy to break into. Is that sufficient or are the U shaped ones better?

Honestly, I must say that there is no such thing. Sometimes you can find a U-lock used on Craigslist or similar websites and you might get a better deal. Otherwise, $30 is below bottom-of-the-ladder for U-locks.
And think about it. What are you paying for with that 30-50-even $90? It's a one-installment insurance policy on your bicycle. I would suggest that you lay down some real money and get a good lock. If you don't, you can either
My frivolous answer: Really. Maybe you shouldn't spend a bunch of money on a bike lock. If you get a cheap lock, the bike thieves will have no reason to learn how to open the more expensive type which will leave my bicycle all the safer!
Bike locks cost real dough because they are designed to stand up to real abuse.
I once had a job where I routinely went around a park with a pair of huge bolt cutters, removing the bike locks (and sometimes bikes) that were abandoned there. The cheap locks are a hellva lot easier to cut off of railings than the beefy OnGuard types.
You do get what you pay for, here, at least in the range of $0-50. Cheap locks are almost not worth buying. A $50 U-lock will stand up to several tries with a pair of bolt cutters that have three-foot levers attached to the handles.
I watched Youtube videos of people breaking various locks:
Summary: a cable will [only] stop 'casual' thieves who don't carry a tool with them; and would be no deterrent to a regular/professional thief.
You're much better off with a D lock (U lock) because they're harder to remove without the key. A cable lock can be cut through with a cheap tool that's easily carried in a pocket. Cheap D locks are pretty similar to each other, but avoid the cylindrical key types (if you can still find them) because instructions on how to pick those quickly are all over the internet.
The comment below about smaller locks being more secure is correct, but with the proviso "if used correctly". A smaller lock is often harder to use correctly. The larger locks make it easy to lock the rear wheel + frame to a poorly located pole or fence, so are often more secure in a specific situation because they can lock your bike correctly where a smaller lock cannot. I use a small D lock (ABUS Granit) but have locking QR skewers (pitlocks) so don't need to lock my wheels separately.
Without knowing your location a specific recommendation is not possible - I would use my LBS but if you're not in Melbourne they might not be the best choice. I used google and found this online site which seems to have a reasonable selection.
Smaller locks are harder to break than big locks - if you know there is a rack that is thin enough to lock the frame to.
Having a cable/chain as well gives you more options - a chain is harder to snip.
This is about $30
Two locks are always better than one - even if it just causes the thief to look at the next bike.
I saw a demonstration where they compared U/D-locks and cable-locks.
None resisted the cable cutter, but the thicker the lock was, independent from the type of lock, the bigger the cable cutter had to be.
Conclusion: Use a very thick lock. Don't look at the type.

On Google Maps, there are locations of several North Korean prison camps: Gulag 16, Gulag 22, and Chongjin Gulag.
Very serious reviews are appearing on Google Plus, and many of them are hardly flattering. This must be worrying as North Korea is apparently opening new interment resorts. No doubt these reviews will hamper expansion plans.
Here are the opinions of those who have spent time in the North Korean gulags, like Chongjin (above).
And this...
...and this...
Continue to Hwasong Gulag? Ouch!
I've heard good things about the local food.
Phew. Such brutal honesty.
As you plan your prison camp resort trip, keep in mind that not all the reviews are negative; there are some who had positive interment camp experiences.
Some of these camps, however, might want to take this criticism to heart. There's always room for improvement, North Korean gulags!

Mitch Hoffses is one of the rising stars of the entire Pacific Northwest. A five-time National Quarter Midget champion the Beaverton, Oregon native has won ten Sprint Car features in thirteen career starts. In 2013 he will compete in both the Northwest Extreme Sprints at Banks and the Northwest Wingless Tour. Keep an eye on this young man as he appears to have a bright future in the sport of auto racing.
Driver: Mitch Hoffses
Home Track: Sunset Speedway Park
Hometown: Beaverton, Oregon
Occupation: Construction Worker
Age: 20
Years Racing: 15
Classification: Northwest Extreme Sprints/Northwest Wingless Tour
Car Number: 5

Special Thanks: Jerry Schram, Ryan Bothwell, Carl Hoffses (Father)
BD: You've had a very decorated career at a young age. Looking back what would you say is your favorite moment?
MH: That's a tough one. I would have to say just watching myself progress and mastering the type of tracks and cars that I have ran. I love looking back at the results of when we first started and comparing them to now.
BD: You compete in a Sprint Car with a Crate engine and they seem to be a lot of fun. What do you think of them?
MH: It really is great for someone that is trying to find a reasonable priced engine to get into Sprint Car racing. The Northwest Extreme Sprint class is a great stepping stone for guys just starting out in Sprints and Sunset Speedway Park is a perfect size to learn on.
BD: A few years back you ran Kenyon Midgets in the Midwest. Correct?
MH: Yeah I ran at Anderson Speedway and Mt. Lawn Speedway in Indiana. That was the time when I was getting out of the Micro Sprints and getting into Midgets. It's a very competition series that ran about three times a week.
BD: Do you have an outlined plan of what you would like to accomplish in your future as a race car driver?
MH: Well I'd like to be racing with the American Sprint Car Series within five years either on a local or national level. Ultimately I would love to run with the World of Outlaws full time.
BD: Who has been your biggest influence/inspiration to you?
MH: Honestly it's got to be Steve Kinser. I've watched him since I was a little kid. As I got older and was hanging around in the pits I would always be by his car watching them all work together. I had the chance to see him a lot at Eldora when I was attending school in Ohio. I found out that he's a really nice guy and would take time to talk to me and answer any questions I had for him.
The Northwest Extreme Sprints will be on hand at the Sunset Speedway this Saturday for their third race of the season. Other classes in action will be the IMCA Modifieds, Midgets, and 4-Bee's. For more information be sure and log on towww.sunsetspeedwaypark.com.

In a previous column, I noted that comments made at recent Byers Peak Ranch annexation hearings sounded like stories you hear around a campfire; the facts change to fit the bend around the circle. In some cases the facts flop out of the circle - yes, like fish. The thing is that some people will do anything to keep Fraser like it is and to try to influence the Fraser board's decision on the annexation even if it means telling big fish stories - whoppers even. One of the stories you will hear is that Fraser has been soft on the agreement. To determine if they have, ask yourself if you would be willing to pay for and guarantee 60 acre-feet of water storage, or invest $40 million in infrastructure without any subsidy or guarantee of success, recognizing the town you are investing in has had a steady decline in revenue for the last 10 years? This is what Fraser is requiring in the annexation agreement. Is that soft? A story bordering on a whopper is that Fraser will place itself at risk if it makes an agreement with the owners of Byers Peak Ranch. These are the same owners that live and work in the Fraser Valley and have been involved with development since 1999, taking the Maryvale plan and working with their partners to make it a reality. They have kept their commitments and complied with Fraser's regulations while completing Cozens Meadow Neighborhood, Cozens Pointe Condominiums, Village at Grand Park General Store, the Grand Park Community Recreation Center, and the Foundry Bowl & Cinema. These owners helped Fraser with the Consolidated Sewer Treatment Plant by guaranteeing the town's debt on its construction, which resulted in making water releases to the Fraser River compliant with state water quality standards. You will also hear fishy tales about environmental impacts - even in the face of ground-breaking work like the biological assessment of the lynx for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a boatload of projects that speak to the owner's genuine concern about the environment and their support of the local recreational lifestyle. Projects include: The Fraser River Open Space dedication to the town; construction of new wetlands and water storage ponds; 15 miles of barbed wire replaced with wildlife-friendly wood fences similar to the original at Cozens Ranch; 5 miles of public accessible hiking/biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing trails and a Frisbee golf course; and a forest management plan that led to the removal of 1,200 acre-feet of pine-beetle infested trees. Another whopper has been perpetuated about not caring about the community - and yet the focus on education, recreation, cultural, and social projects through the Cornerstone Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit initially funded by Cornerstone with $500,000 has contributed nearly $200,000 to Grand County nonprofits like the Fraser Valley Elementary School, Fraser Creative Learning Center, Grand Kids, Winter Park Horseman's Association, and the Grand Foundation. Many events have also been hosted for groups like the Grand Kids Fall Festival, Fraser Valley Recreation Duathlon, Habitat Hobble, MS Society-Muckruckus, Run for Independence-Children's Hospital and NSCD Cross Country races.It's not like it's all been calm water fishing and there haven't been rapids along the way, which is typical if you are getting something done, but the record of commitment, investment and giving back is clear. Byers Peak Ranch will be developed; the risk for Fraser is if it doesn't benefit. If Fraser annexes Byers Peak Ranch and it never develops, the worst case for Fraser would be that it secured critical water storage, a 6 acre-foot municipal parcel, and long-term development control for the Town at no cost. There will always be fish stories - it's tradition. The Fraser Board has a fiduciary responsibility, and basing decisions on whoppers isn't prudent unless you want to pretend things can stay the same, but that may mean muddy water. Jack Bestall is principal of Bestall Collaborative Limited, Evergreen, and the owner's representative of Byers Peak Ranch, LLC, and Downhill Adventures, LLC.

The question people often forget when starting a small business is "can it make a profit?"
A simple but important factor as to whether or not a business is going to make it.
I serve on the advisory council for the College of Business at Eastern Kentucky University. For a recent meeting, we brought in Dr. Janet Kelly from the University of Louisville as a speaker.
Dr. Kelly did an outstanding job in giving us the good, the bad and the extremely ugly data about Kentucky's economy. She noted a statistic that fascinated me.
Kentucky is one of the top states for creating small businesses with five or fewer jobs.
Most of them don't turn a large profit.
The statistic disturbed me at many levels.
In my book "Wealth Without Wall Street" and in numerous columns, I've promoted the idea of owning your own business. I'll be going into my thirtieth year of self-employment in September. I can't imagine doing anything else.
Self-employment fits my personality profile. I'm a compulsive worker who doesn't want a lot of supervision. Just show me the goal line and I will get there.
I tried corporate life and it didn't work for me.
I spent two years as president of a large company.
I concluded that I hated the job, and the people I worked for hated me. The layers of bureaucracy drove me crazy and my desire to break down those layers drove my employees crazy.
I can't see me ever running a large corporation again.
As KT Oslin once wrote, "I said I do and I signed I don't and I swore I never do that again."
I also understand why people get into small businesses that don't make a lot of money. They want to do something they enjoy or something where they can make a difference.
Even after two bestselling books and national syndication, publishing is a small part of my overall income.
There is nothing I see in the economics of the media business that makes me think otherwise.
Writing gives me a chance to speak out and educate people. It's not about the money.
For those who want to be self-employed but earn enough to feed themselves and their families, I offer the following tips:
1. Do something that you love, but make sure you are paid a fair price for your labors.
I run into writers who think "making a profit" is some kind of evil. Some are terrific writers but they don't charge enough for their books, don't do a lot of paid speaking engagements and do little to encourage people to buy their books.
I see the same thing in other fields. I see restaurants and bars who give the business away and contractors who don't charge enough.
I also see people who charge so much that they scare off customers.
Pricing your services properly is as important to doctors and lawyers as it is to artisans and plumbers.
2. If you can't afford to hire good managers, you should be prepared to work 90 hours a week or not be in business at all.
Another point that Dr. Kelly made was that Kentucky did not have enough trained managers to run the businesses the state already has and that attracting new businesses will be difficult until that "manager gap" is filled.
A friend was a first-rate mechanic for a big auto dealership and wanted his own shop. I eagerly followed him when he went out on his own. In fact, I offered to buy into his business. I am glad I didn't as his poor management skills drove him down the tubes quickly.
As long as he worked on a car himself, it remained first-class service. However, he tended to hire any warm body that walked in the door and gave them little supervision.
I wound up back at the dealership. They had systems, managers and quality control check points.
Which is why they make big profits.
Anyone going into business needs to heed the warning of Dr. Kelly. Do some number crunching and find out if your business has any chance to make a profit.
Profit isn't an evil. It is a necessity for keeping your business alive.

As a physicist, when I'm giving lectures or during colloquiums, I usually find it necessary to have some appropriate and related jokes in hand. All of the best teachers have some, and they use them when they have to; so I think that it is a necessity of good teaching. On the math side we have this gem(although being closed and reopened several times); however on the physics side I couldn't find much. Hopefully this topic will help me and many others with this regard.

It was part of the basic scenario and campaign systems in the core rulebook back in 3rd and 4th editions. It was dropped in 5th edition on. Each race used to have a strategy rating that would give you the ability to chose which scenario to play. Even when it was part of the rules, I seldom saw it get used.
You don't loose much by not being able to use it anymore.
According to several forums I checked, strategy rating is an obsolete mechanism used in certain published scenarios that would typically give some kind of advantage (initiative, timing of reinforcements, etc.) to the side with the higher strategy rating:
It used to affect which side got to move first. You both rolled a D6 and added your leader's strategy rating. The highest total got the first move.

In the 10 years since the ouster of the Taliban, great strides have been made for women in Afghanistan, with many attending school, working in offices and even sometimes marching in protests. But abuse and repression of women are still common, particularly in rural areas where women are still unlikely to set foot outside of the house without a burqa robe that covers them from head to toe.

Bellaire officer assaulted on duty
Injuries require hospitalization
September 30, 2013
BELLAIRE — The Bellaire Police Department is already shorthanded. After events early Sunday morning, the department will be down another veteran officer for a while....
Right on, Fireguy09.
OhValleyguy: And how much would a volunteer/part time paid EMS department cost? It's not just salaries, right? Vehicles, equipment, training, etc. TommyGun: so the answers are in a BOOK?!? That is really pathetic and not worthy of commentary. Liberals believe if the rest of the world would just let them take charge with their superpower minds, then everything would be just peachy. Problem is, someone has to do the heavy lifting.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree with valley guy, Bellaire still operates like a city when it is a village on decline. The town still zones its sections which in actually hurts the bottom line. If your so smart fireman read "Death and Life of Great American cities" by Jane Jacobs. Many cities have used this book as a diagram how to improve their own city. Bellaire is a dangerous city who doesn't like outside business and picks on its the lower half of society but lets the upper tier do as they please.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
And what would that prove? Nothing. They had other officers there and it still happened. Whether it's Fire/EMS/Law Enforcement they all have one thing in common: they are all dangerous to the point where lives can be injured or killed whether your staffed with 6 personnel or 60. Public safety should never be cut...PERIOD. As soon as an ambulance, firetruck or police car fail to show up within a reasonable amount of time because of said cuts then people will complain about that. Instead of being reactive about it you might want to consider being proactive. Make calls, send letters to your politicians, etc. or better yet convince people to pass a levy to provide the necessary funding to provide more staffing. If these answers do not satisfy you then feel free to step up, take Fire and EMT training then join your local department and help them provide coverage that is provided to YOUR family in YOUR time of need; not theirs. Wouldn't hurt to say thank you once in a while either!

If the mayor and council would stop paying $75k per year for Neffs to provide full-time, paid fire and EMS for this village, and go with a volunteer/part time paid department like most every other village in the area, they could afford to hire 1 or 2 more officers.

Could someone show an example of two spaces $X$ and $Y$ which are not of the same homotopy type, but nevertheless $\pi_q(X)=\pi_q(Y)$ for every $q$? Is there an example in the CW complex or smooth category?
There are such spaces, for example $X = S^2 \times \mathbb{R}P^3$, $Y = S^3 \times \mathbb{R}P^2.$ (These are both smooth and CW-complexes.)
Whitehead's Theorem says that for CW-complexes, if a map $f : X \to Y$ induces an isomorphism on all homotopy groups then it is a homotopy equivalence. But, as the example above shows, you need the map. Such a map is called a weak homotopy equivalence.
(Whitehead's Theorem is not true for spaces wilder than CW-complexes. The Warsaw circle has all of its homotopy groups trivial but the unique map to a point is not a homotopy equivalence.)
All of these examples involve a bit of cleverness, so I thought I'd point out a more straightforward way to construct counterexamples. If $X$ is any space, we can build a space $X' = K(\pi_0 X, 0) \times K(\pi_1 X, 1) \times K(\pi_2 X, 2) \times \dots$ which has the same homotopy groups as $X$, but which is usually not weakly equivalent to $X$. Pretty much any invariant of spaces other than the homotopy groups will distinguish them. For instance, if $X = S^2$, then $H_3(X) = 0$, but $X'$ contains $K(\pi_3 S^2, 3) = K(\mathbb{Z}, 3)$ as a retract, so $H_3(X')$ contains $H_3(K(\mathbb{Z}, 3)) = \mathbb{Z}$ as a retract and cannot be $0$.
Of course, this doesn't produce geometrically nice spaces like smooth manifolds.
$S^3 \times \mathbb{R}P^2$ and $\mathbb{R}P^3 \times S^2$ are both smooth 5-manifolds with fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}/2$ and universal cover $S^3 \times S^2$, so their homotopy groups are all the same. On the other hand, only the latter is orientable since $\mathbb{R}P^3$ is orientable but $\mathbb{R}P^2$ isn't, so they have different values on $H^5$ and therefore can't be homotopy equivalent. (I think this example is in Hatcher somewhere.)
Along the same lines: you can produce examples involving simply connected finite CW-complexes, by using $S^1$ actions: $\mathbb{C}P^m \times S^{2n+1}$ and $S^{2m+1}\times \mathbb{C}P^n$ have the same homotopy groups, for instance.
It's easy to produce examples with arbitrarily high connectivity: take the homotopy fiber $X$ of any non-trivial map $K(A,m)\to K(B,n+1)$, with $n>m$. Then $X$ and $Y=K(A,m) \times K(B,n)$ have the same homotopy groups, but are not homotopy equivalent.
Here's a new question: for given $k$, can you find a pair of $k$-connected finite CW-complexes which have the same homotopy groups, but aren't homotopy equivalent?
It's easy to construct myriads of such examples using finite $T_0$ topological spaces. These are equivalent in a natural way to finite posets (check this wikipedia article). With a poset $P$ we may associate an abstract simplicial complex $K(P)$ whose simplices are the chains of $P$. It turns out that the geometric realization of $K(P)$ and $P$ are weakly homotopy equivalent (there is a continuous map $|K(P)| \to P$ inducing isomorphisms on homotopy groups). However, these spaces are not homotopy equivalent (unless they are both homotopy equivalent to a discrete space).
Moreover, examples of weakly homotopy equivalent finite spaces that are not homotopy equivalent are also easy to give.
The following notes by J.P. May are a nice introduction to this topic: http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~may/MISC/FiniteSpaces.pdf , http://www.math.uchicago.edu/~may/MISC/SimpCxes.pdf
Consider $X=S^1\vee S^3$ and its double cover $X_2$ i.e, attach two copy of $S^3$ one in north pole and one in south pole of $S^1$. Then $\pi_1(X) =\mathbb{Z} = \pi_1(X_2)$. And covering map induced isomorphism in $\pi_n$ for all $n\geq 2$. But they are not homotopically equivalent since their Eular Characteristics are different.
The simplest examples I know are the $3$-dimensional lens spaces $L(p,q)$. They display many oddities.
Consider the lens spaces $L(p,q_0)$ and $L(p,q_1)$, $\gcd(p,q_0)=\gcd(p,q_1)=1$. Their fundamental groups are isomorphic to the cyclic group $\newcommand{\bZ}{\mathbb{Z}}$ $\bZ/p\bZ$. Since both these lens spaces have the same universal cover $S^3$, their higher homotopy groups are also isomorphic.
A theorem of Franz-Rueff-Whitehead (see Theorem 2.60 of these notes) shows that $L(p,q_0)$ and $L(p,q_1)$ are homotopy equivalent if and only
$$q_1\equiv \pm \ell^2 q_0\bmod p, $$
for some $\ell\in\bZ$. This reduces the problem to a number theoretic one. For example, $L(5,1)$ is not homotopy equivalent to $L(5,2)$ since $\pm 2$ is not a quadratic residue mod $5$.
On the other hand, the lens spaces $L(7,1)$ and $L(7,2)$ are homotopy equivalent, but they are not homeomorphic.

#10. The Fish That Looks Like the Predator
Well, it has the Predator's mouth, anyway. In some ways, the sarcastic fringehead (yes, that's its actual name) is more horrifying, because before it opens its mouth, it just looks like a regular fish with old geezer jowls ...
The Featured Creature
If reincarnation is real, this is what Nixon's coming back as.
... before its entire face opens up into a gaping sprawl of predatory terror. Sarcastic fringeheads are incredibly territorial, by the way, and they use their enormous jaws to battle each other in a ritual that looks like two parachutes trying to make out:
And no, we don't know why they are called that. They don't look very sarcastic to us, but their name makes them seem less frightening and a lot more douchey.
"No, dude, totally, eat all my fries, I didn't pay for them or anything."
#9. The Venus Flytrap of the Sea
They look like something you'd find in a meteor impact crater, but really, predatory tunicates are a kind of sea squirt that live in deep-sea canyons off California. What sets them apart from their placid sea squirt cousins is that the predatory tunicate is like an underwater Venus flytrap -- it sits there, rooted in place, waiting for some unwitting prey to pass close to its gaping, incandescent mouth, and then snatches it up. With that kind of diet, they can't afford to be very picky.
All The Sea
"Zooplankton, again?"
In addition to looking like aliens from a SyFy movie about creatures that bite the dicks off passing swimmers, the tunicates can have sex with themselves if they can't find another to mate with. Which is helpful since, you know, they're stuck to the ground. What else are you going to do to fight the boredom?
#8. The Fish That Kills from Below
That monstrosity is called a northern stargazer. OK, whose goddamned idea was it to call it that? The word "stargazer" brings to mind some wispy fish with bright hippie colors and big cartoon eyes; this looks like the mud has spontaneously grown a face. Well, you know who else gazes up at the stars? The devil, from his throne in hell, apparently.
The northern stargazer is actually a kind of fish, if you can believe that. Most of it exists under the mud, so you can normally only see the horrible bits.
"Go ahead, Scooter, get a real close look. I dare you."
The northern stargazer has its eyes and mouth on top of its head due to its feeding strategy -- when it feels like a snack, it buries itself in the dirt in as little as four seconds flat, becoming nothing but a grimacing skull-face in the mud. When something tasty swims by overhead, the last thing it ever sees is something out of Jim Henson's nightmares.
The Featured Creature
"For the last time, I am not the Pumpkin King!"
Wait, did we say that last thing looked like a monster from a SyFy movie about a creature that bites the dicks off passing swimmers? Because we clearly spoke too soon. Look at the expression on that thing's face! It wants to eat your junk!
As if that wasn't bad enough, they apparently have organs above their eyes that can emit electrical shocks. Thanks, Nature!
"Don't mention it. Wait until you see the rape-sharks I'm cooking up."
#7. The Shark That Looks Like a Throw Rug
OK, what are we looking at here? Is that a plant? Whatever it is, it's coming unraveled around the edges.
That is the carpet shark, which also goes by the ridiculous name of tasseled wobbegong. It obviously gets its name from the fact that it looks like a throw rug, except that it's a throw rug full of jagged teeth that will eat the shit out of you. It's like a welcome mat for the ocean that also hates you. Here's one that's in the process of swallowing another shark whole, face-first:
National Geographic
It's basically a giant, mossy, amphibious condom.
When photographers came across this shark-on-shark action, at first they figured that there was only one shark on the scene, and that its head was somehow obscured from view. And it wasn't moving, so maybe it was asleep or something. Luckily, the reality is less frightening than their next thought, which was that the seabed had become sentient and rose up to swallow a shark whole.
"The shark eats you, I eat the shark, nothing in the goddamn ocean touches me. Circle of life."
#6. The 56-Foot-Long Fish
The giant oarfish, or "King of Herrings," as it's referred to by the lower-class herrings, is the world's longest bony fish. How long is it? Above is one being carried by a contingent of Navy SEALs, who probably had to do battle with it at some point. It's extremely rare, and most of the specimens found have been dead. But dead is exactly the way we like a monster that looks like it could deep-throat an oak tree.
At up to 56 feet long, scientists speculate that the giant oarfish may have been the source of the sea serpent legend -- hey, we told you sea monsters were real. And speaking of which ...

Languages come in all shapes and sizes: the early years, culture clusters,
the more advanced courses, seminars,internships, study abroad...
The Department of Languages and Cultures is a vital and active presence in the College of Arts and Sciences at West Chester University and in the surrounding area. The name of the department conveys the range of research and instruction that exists at the undergraduate and graduate levels and reflects the breadth and nature of our activities.
Languages taught include Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian and Spanish. We offer beginning and intermediate language courses in Classics, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish, as well as courses in other languages. We offer minors in Classics, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish, as well as interdisciplinary minors in Latin American and Latino/a Studies, Linguistics, and Russian Studies. Major concentrations and K-12 Certification are ofered in French, German, Russian and Spanish.
Active language clubs host varied events (films, dinners, talks) and travel to nearby cities for theater, opera, museums, markets, etc. Our students can also become members of three Honorary Societies: Alpha Mu Gamma (The National Collegiate Foreign Language Honor Society), Sigma Delta Pi (The National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society), and Pi Delta Phi (The French National Honor Society).
Our classes are innovative, featuring student-centered study of culture, history, literature and language, often using video, computer software, and internet-based activities. Coursework provides opportunities for service-based learning and community outreach activities that promote real-world use of language skills.
Our faculty include dedicated professors and instructors, talented scholars who enjoy state, national and worldwide recognition. They pursue their research to the far corners of the earth and bring it back to the students in their courses.
Our students are equally adventuresome, and many of our majors and minors study abroad, in Europe, Asia, Central and South America. Information on available programs in addition to the above Fulbright projects may be found on the individual language program pages; please also consult our information and forms for scholarship awards for study abroad.
The Department also offers Graduate Programs: in place of our M.A. and M.Ed. degrees in French and Spanish, we now offer a new combined Master of Arts in Languages and Cultures in conjunction with Millersville University, in French, German or Spanish.
Our undergraduate and graduate program graduates pursue many careers using these languages, including teaching at all levels, law, international relations, the travel industry, marketing, and services in a wide variety of regional and national companies. Our graduates bring to the job high quality professional training and multicultural perspectives on the world. We offer a new Internship program, LAN 425 and LAN 525, for 3-12 credits, for on the job language experience.
Students wishing to study any languages offered in our language program should take a Placement Test in our Language Learning Center in Mitchell Hall (Room 006A). The Placement test is taken for the express purpose of indicating the level at which a student should being study of the language. Students do not receive university credit for any language course they place out of on the placement test. Credit for such lower level courses may be obtained by taking the CLEP or Credit by Exam (CBE) test for a course BEFORE enrolling in a higher level course. Minors and majors in a language must still complete the number of courses required by the department.
The Department of Languages and Cultures of West Chester University of Pennsylvania is dedicated to the teaching of languages and the preparation of language-teaching professionals to be knowledgeable in the facts and issues that inform second language education. As part of this dedication, we promote student and community understanding of the languages that we teach and the cultures that these languages represent. The public liberal arts model of education is at the basis of our teaching, on both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We are a community of teacher-scholars dedicated to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service to local and global communities.
The department prepares students to develop linguistic and cultural proficiency:
We are committed to communicative pedagogies that foster the use of languages in real-world communities.
We believe that the preparation of highly competent language teachers involves the simultaneous development of second language proficiency, linguistic, literary, and cultural content, and pedagogical skills and background.
We emphasize the development and enhancement of critical thinking and cross-cultural skills that sharpen students' understanding of the interaction between the individual and the collective.
Linguistic and cultural proficiency are pursued in a variety of venues, including, but not limited to, classroom work, distance-based courses, faculty-student research, local, regional, and international service learning activities, language clubs and honor societies, and study abroad programs.
We are committed to excellence in research and other areas of scholarly expertise as critical pillars of a well-rounded humanistic approach to education. In their scholarly activity, department faculty use diverse interdisciplinary approaches, while working to create an intellectually active environment inside the classroom and elsewhere.
We prepare students to function as effective language and literacy educators and community leaders among diverse populations both within the U.S. and abroad.
We collaborate in a variety of campus and community initiatives and projects to nurture student and community involvement in language communities and their cultures, both home and abroad.

I am now unable to connect to internet with a huwaei E173s-1.
The modem worked perfectly in 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 now it gets detected, but cannot be connected at all.
Any help is more than welcome!
Yes I've had the same problem with two other devices after update 12.10 (worked fine with 12.04).
download deb:
and the install the old version:
to prevent update to version 0.6.x lock the version in synaptic.
NOTE: Give ubuntu a change to repair, so keep in touch of update of 0.6.x version ;-)
There is a bug in ModemManager 0.6.0.0 which comes with Ubuntu 12.10.
You should use ModemManager 184.108.40.206
Install the following packages:
After reboot works the Modem fine.
Edit /etc/network/interfaces by
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces in terminal
Conform that file should have following parameters.
Save file reboot system.
I have manual steps to configure it.
and it will open gedit and paste the following text in it and save the file
7. Now run the following commands
it will again open gedit and you need to paste the following text in it.
change the username and password with your 10 digit MDN number given on the box of datacard. 8. Now Save the file and reboot the computer. After reboot plugin your datacard and wait for 5 to 6 seconds . Now run the following command
you should see something like below after running the above command
An alternative easier solution is to start your modem in windows OS, and configure it to use a hybrid mode. Usually, your vendor includes drivers that work out-of-the-box but only on Windows. For example, Tata-Photon includes a GUI tool that enables you to switch between Photon-Plus, Plug-to-surf and Hybrid-mode. The third option will enable your broadband to work out of the box even on linux without installing wvdial or doing other advanced configurations.

Treatment of pediatric posterior fossa tumors has evolved in the multimodality setting to the point that emphasis is no longer just on improving survival but in minimizing toxicities. Neurocognitive decline in patients with a primary brain malignancy treated with a multimodality approach including surgery, radiation and in the majority of cases chemotherapy has been documented by a number of studies. Patients are now living longer, long enough to demonstrate significant neurocognitve deficits in some cases. Confounding our ability to refine treatment strategies is the relative rarity in absolute numbers of study subjects. The prospect of a defining randomized study remains elusive. To that end, Spiegler and colleagues have conducted a retrospective study of change in neurocognitive functioning in patients with posterior fossa tumors after treatment with surgery, cranial radiation, and in most cases chemotherapy in childhood.
This study reports on a retrospective trial of change in neurocognitive functioning in patients with posterior fossa tumors after treatment with surgery, cranial radiation, and in most cases chemotherapy in childhood. Since most pediatric patients with posterior fossa tumors are treated with a similar multimodality approach, this study forms an observational basis regarding outcomes patients, families, and practitioners can expect to encounter. The study further makes inroads by examining specific changes in neurocognitive function not previously studied in this population.
The failure of this study to examine and separate contributions of a neoplastic primary in brain, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation to neurocognitive decline in this population lend a somewhat hollow ring to its title. It is likely that radiation to the whole brain or posterior fossa has a detrimental effect on neurocognitive function. Its relative contribution to the decline seen in this population remains uncharacterized.

Possible bug in NestedList.updateStore()
In NestedList, in the function updateStore, we see this code:
if (newStore) { me.goToNode(newStore.getRoot()); newStore.on(listeners); }
Is this a bug (i.e. should those two lines be reversed) or is it deliberate? If it's deliberate, then what is the purpose of only setting up the listeners after?
16 Sep 2013 9:50 PM #2
I believe this is on purpose. On dynamic views like, lists that update when the store data changes, you probably don't want the loading mask to appear each time the store updates.
Though I must admit that I did not find any methods that called this private method.Get more personalized support via a support subscription.

17 Sep 2013 6:56 AM #3
I agree that you don't want to see the loading mask on every item change. But to the best of my understanding updateStore() is used to change the entire store, in which case the mask should be displayed and the events should fire.
18 Sep 2013 2:04 PM #4
Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.
I will pass this along to Engineering and let them make the final call.
23 Oct 2013 7:08 AM #5
updateStore will indeed only be called when you change the entire store bound to the NestedList, thus adding the listeners before starting to load the store seems like a good idea
I have changed this for the next release. Thanks for the report.

I'm having a contradiction with two different classifications of flat complex line bundles over a manifold $X$. Suppose for simplicity that $H^2(X;\mathbb Z) = 0 = H^1(X;\mathbb C)$. Then the only complex line bundle is the trivial one and (thinking in terms of connection 1-forms) isomorphism classes of line bundles with connection become just one-forms on $X$ modulo gauge transformations $\Omega^1(X;\mathbb C) \ni \theta \mapsto \theta^g:=\theta + g^{-1} dg$ where $g: X \to \mathbb C^\times$. If $f: X \to \mathbb C$ is arbitrary and $g = e^f$ then $\theta^g = \theta + df$ is cohomologous to $\theta$. Since $H^1(X;\mathbb C) = 0$ any 1-forms are cohomologous so there is just one equivalence class of flat connections.
On the other hand, the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence says that there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between iso classes of flat line bundles with flat connection and representations of $\pi_1(X)$ on $\mathbb C$. But in the situation above $\pi_1(X)$ can be something like $\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z$, which has more than one rep on $\mathbb C$.
What am I missing? Is the equivalence of flat bundles under Riemann-Hilbert stronger than gauge equivalence?

A record can implement protocols. However, each time I think of a new function that I would like the record to implement, I have to add it to an existing protocol or create a new protocol. How do I get around this? Ideally, I'd just like to associate a function to a record without having to define a protocol.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Then just write a function that takes an instance of that record as an argument.
defrecord doesn't "implement" a protocol, in the sense that class in a Java-like OO language implements an interface. What it does is define a datatype, and give you some syntactic sugar to implement a protocol that operates on that datatype. There's a pretty great overview of just what sort of problem protocols are meant to solve here - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-clojure-protocols/
Excellent question. Here's an answer based on a similar one I gave on StackOverflow.
As usual, there's a beautiful way to do things in Clojure - here's how to implement your own simple dynamic OO system (including inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation) in 10 lines of Clojure.
The idea: You can put functions inside normals Clojure maps or records if you want, creating an OO-like structure. You can then use this in a "prototype" style.

Truck technology highlights to be showcased at IAA
Daimler AG will once again grace this year's IAA Commercial Vehicles show bringing with them their whole list of groundbreaking innovations. The show however, pegged to start on September 23 in Hanover, will be preceded by the unveiling of Mercedes-Benz's truck highlights on a special issue of the Mercedes-Benz Transport magazine. So you'll have the chance to eyeball images of the new Atego and Axor, as well as photos of the Actros Limited Edition Black Liner and White Liner. The pair of Actros variants will be making their very first public appearance at the IAA, so you can bet that it's going to be very special. Why? Because only 500… Continue Reading »

Army ROTC
class of 2014
The United States Army
operates a Military Science & Leadership unit of the Reserve Officers'
Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Portland. The program is a
cooperative effort between the Army and the University. It provides
prerequisite leadership training qualifications for students desiring to earn
appointments as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, the United
States Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard. Army ROTC students pursue a
University degree in an academic discipline of their choice and are not members
of the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard unless they are ROTC
scholarship winners.
Military science classes are elective courses that use a combination of academics and hands-on training to teach students leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. These classes add management training, practical experience, and personal growth opportunities to a student's university education. First and second-year courses are open to any University student, and participation in ROTC only requires a few hours a week--it won't interfere with a student's required college curriculum (or social life).
In addition to on-campus training, Army ROTC offers instruction in adventure training, (i.e., rappelling and orienteering). Cadets may also participate in ROTC's varsity sport, Ranger Challenge, which promotes physical conditioning, military training excellence, and esprit de corps.
The programs offered by ROTC are also designed to complement your college major, not overwhelm it, so you will have plenty of time to take part in the rest of the university experience. And the success of these ROTC programs here on The Bluff is reflected in the number of students who participate-more than 200 Air Force and over 70 Army cadets took part in these programs last year.

Charlotte 49ers head football coach Brad Lambert has announced that the 49ers have scheduled a road game against a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) contender for 2016.
Charlotte will travel to Lambert's alma mater, Kansas State of the Big 12, Sept. 10, 2016 in Manhattan, Kansas.
The 49ers, who begin play in 2013 as a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) independent, will move to Conference USA in 2015 to compete as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
"We know those guys out there and we've talked about scheduling a game and it's worked out," Lambert said. "Things really changed when we joined Conference USA. They had expressed interest when we were FCS, but I don't know if it would have happened without us going to Conference USA and the FBS. It will be a good homecoming for me and (Director of Operations) Trevor (Lambert)."
Kansas State is 11-1 in 2012. They won the Big 12 title and are ranked 5th in the BCS Standings. They will play #4 Oregon in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 3
"What coach (Bill) Snyder has done there is beyond phenomenal," said Lambert, a 1987 graduate of Kansas State who was a second team all-Big Eight Defensive Back in 1984. "It will be a lot of fun. Talk about competing at the highest level. It will be a huge challenge for us, but it's something we'll look forward to. It will be exciting for our guys to go and compete at that level."
The Charlotte 49ers, who recently completed their on-campus 15,300-seat football stadium, finished their fall practice season, Nov. 17, in that stadium.
The schedule for the 2013 inaugural season is complete.
The 49ers have other games already scheduled with power conference ties: a home-and-home series with the Big East's Temple in 2015 and 2016 and a game at the ACC's Virginia Tech in 2019.
To purchase Football Seat Licenses (FSLs), fans can contact the 49ers Ticket Office or Athletic Foundation at 704-687-4949 or 704-687-4950.

Prospera: Medallion invented, feather and fan extended, base of sweater swatched – where, where where should the godet go? Once again, Margery comes to the rescue, pulling a completed sweater off the shelf, one we know we like. Now it's easier to visualize just where the godet should be placed. Oh, and if I haven't declared this before – I love our dress form. She is very helpful.

thank you so much for showing your process. i like what you're doing. this is my first visit — have to backtrack now to see if you've told us anything about your inspiration for this one.
you know, i've been dying for a pattern with an interesting sleeve-godet. planning any complementary sleeve-detailing to tie in?

ha! just saw how old this post was! the finished pattern is must-knit, to be sure. it is about perfect. (and how grand to have the instant gratification of seeing both process and finished piece on the same day.)August 2, 2008
