WHEELING - From upgrading the slot machines to remodeling the restaurants and ventilation systems, officials at Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack have spent about $15 million in facility improvements during the past two years.
Jim Simms, president and general manager, said the work is a direct response to the increasing competition the facility is facing, which got even stiffer this week with the opening of the $400 million Hollywood Casino Columbus on the west side of Ohio's capital city.
"People are coming here to game, so we want to give them the best gaming experience possible," said Simms. "We have reinvested in the property to compete as best we can.
"We are confident we have made very good investment decisions. We are going to be the best we can be," he added, noting hotel upgrades are also in the works.
Simms admits, however, this may not be enough. So when the West Virginia Legislature convenes in January, Simms hopes members will consider reducing the tax rates the state's four casinos pay for table gambling.
"We would definitely be interested in revisiting our state tax rates. Less profit means less money for us to spend on attracting customers," he said. "This is a much bigger issue for us now than it was because of the increased competition."
Much of the impetus for legalizing table gambling - live poker, craps, roulette, blackjack and other games involving dealers - in West Virginia in 2007 centered around the projected loss of revenue when Pennsylvania plugged in its slot machines. Mountain State leaders eventually agreed to allow table gambling, but decided to charge each of the state's four racetracks a $2.5 million annual fee and apply a 35 percent tax on the activity.
Other West Virginia tracks which all now offer table gambling include Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort in Chester, the Mardi Gras West Virginia Casino and Hotel (formerly Tri-State Racetrack) near Charleston, and the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in Charles Town. Nearby Pennsylvania casinos include the Meadows Racetrack and Casino near Washington and the Rivers Casino in downtown Pittsburgh.
Since West Virginia adopted table gambling at these tax levels, Ohio and Pennsylvania have introduced slot machines and table gambling. By comparison, Pennsylvania taxes its table games at no more than 16 percent, while Ohio charges 33 percent.
For slot machines, Pennsylvania taxes at a 55 percent rate, while Ohio levies the same 33 percent it does for tables. West Virginia charges about a 42 percent tax for slot machines, though Simms said the "effective tax rates" for Wheeling Island are about 57 percent for slots because of purse funds, breeders funds and local supplements.
Simms said he does not have a specific tax rate he would like applied to West Virginia tables and slots, but said it is something he and other gambling industry leaders will bring to the attention of legislators next year.
Also, Simms said before Pennsylvania got slots and table games, about 70 percent of the Wheeling Island business came from the Keystone State. The Wheeling Island facility is now getting about 60 percent of its customers from Ohio, 30 percent from Pennsylvania and 10 percent from West Virginia and other states.
"We were able to tap into that (Ohio) market, particularly in Columbus, to compensate for some of the Pennsylvania loss," Simms said. "Now, we have a brand new casino in Columbus we have to compete against."
Regardless of the tax and competition issues, Simms said the 680 or so employees at the Wheeling track who manage the 1,650 slot machines, 28 table games, eight poker tables, the greyhound track and the restaurants and bars are "as tough as the Pittsburgh Steelers."
"The commitment and resilience of our employees is amazing. I am so proud of them," he said.
Those employees will no longer have to move slot machines and tables up from the ground floor when the Ohio River reaches flood stage either, as the track is not using that floor anymore. The ground floor now contains employee lockers and a storage area. Simms said the track no longer has the business volume to require using the ground floor.
Simms also said the track is encouraged by the local developments of seeing Wheeling officials moving to demolish dilapidated structures to make the city more appealing to tourists.
"I feel much better about the local situation than I did two years ago," he said. "The Wheeling leaders are working to make this a true destination city."

Kate Bosworth Gets Two Wedding Rings (Can You Hear Us Sighing From Our Desks?)
Splash News Online; Courtesy Ocappi
If her magical Oscar de la Renta gown wasn't proof enough that Kate Bosworth was the luckiest bride on the planet, enter her two — count 'em, two(!) — wedding rings.
The actress's new husband Michael Polish presented her with dos bands, both of which complement her vintage 1920s engagement ring, at their Montana nuptials on Sunday.
And we got all the scoop on her new bling straight from the source — Ocappi, the jewelry retailer responsible for crafting the handmade, platinum-set rings just for Kate's big day.
RELATED: See more amazing star engagement and wedding rings here!
"Collaborating with Kate was so wonderful, because she has such a great style sense, that it made the creative process so vivid," says Ocappi Creative Director Haki Abehsera. "She expressed how much she loved her engagement ring and how she wanted something to accompany it without taking too much attention away from it."
Abehsera explains that the first band, which is just over a half-carat and features 18 brilliant horizontally-set baguette diamonds, was designed to go seamlessly with Bosworth's art deco engagement ring.
And the second band, which boasts over a carat, has more of a personal meaning for the couple. "Michael mentioned that maybe we should do something with 12 stones representing each month of the year," Abehsera adds. "That's where we decided not to be subtle, and how ring number two was created."
We have a feeling that this two-ring-thing may be the start of a new trend in Hollywood. Note to our boyfriends: We'd totally be on board with that.
Now tell us: What do you think of Bosworth's double-band action?

Methinks this thread should be community wiki, btw...
Used virtualisation to help get rid of over 8,000 physical servers, allowing for the closure of 3 data centres.
I educated over 120 users to turn off (or hibernate) their computers after work, especially over the weekend.
Studied only in digital format. Never printed my documentation. Trained my cat not to play near my keyboard and mouse while i'm away so my monitor remains in power saving mode. :)
Pushed Virtualisation and reduced the number of servers in our server rooms by 2/3
Specified more energy efficient servers, and always opted for low power servers & server components if at all possible.
Advocated doing the same for workstation purchases, which is now being done.
encouraged people to think before they print
Oh yes, pushed out power management settings to all PCs on our campus that ensure they use as little power as possible, especially when idle (quick to sleep, etc).
reviewed power consumption of things like switches and routers and made power consumption a major part of the purchase criteria for these devices, equal with cost. (of course, power inefficient switches that generate a lot of heat but have a lower sticker price tend to eat up that price difference in terms of power consumption and cooling needs).
Interestingly enough, thinking "green" isn't terribly different from "thinking about overall TCO of devices, including power and cooling needs".
I've reduced physical server requirements. Reduced SAN power consumption by planning to install the next version of SAN's OS which will spin down FANs and disks as possible. And I never go to the office so no carbon from my cars tail pipe.
I've never used Gentoo Linux on production servers :-)
We're introducing wake-on-LAN for our Campus Grid (distributed computing system that runs on the student PC clusters on campus) so the machines only run overnight when there are computational jobs pending rather than being on 24/7
This has nothing to do with being green and everything to do with saving money as far as I can tell :)
We're running an increasing number of VMs rather than buying new kit where computational requirements allow.
Currently replacing all old CRT monitors with new, low-energy TFT monitors. Studies have shown greatly diminished power consumption.
Where applicable, only purchase hardware certified as EPEAT Gold. This prevents excessive packaging, brominated plastics and other nasty stuff from entering the waste stream.
Also, lease equipment that gets handled properly upon return or dispose of surplus equipment in a sustainable manner. (ie. Don't sell on eBay to some slime who is going to ship your stuff to Ghana to be smelted by children.)
Be principal in establishing working group or committee that reviews programs for coding inefficiencies
-before, or just as, the jobs go out to the clusters.
The group whould probably consist of a handful few pragmatic, not-to-judgmental devs and admins.
If you look at the data center from a sysadmin perspective, as others have mentioned, there are the following ways to reduce energy consumption:
However, there's more to the data center than servers. There will be someone who runs all the infrastructure, i. e. cooling, ventilation, lighting. Cooling easily takes up as much energy as the servers themselves. That person can use your insight to tune his/her gear. For example:
In complex environments like a data center, cooperation among experts is key to saving energy. Do your part.
Shameless plug: Also, do follow my site proposal on StackExchange and discuss this type of questions there, once it's up.
Shown management that "green" can mean "good for the bottom line"
I've refused to repair broken printers :D
I developed freelance a few applications web oriented that removed all the papers previously required, for signature and approval.
I do most of the office trips by train, subway.
I use air-conditioner only when necessary.
Actually this is more a way of life that is applied to my IT job.
Hmm... this question smacks of socio-political undertones. Not everyone buys into the green movement. Are sysadmins who aren't "green" not good?
For my part, I've made a pledge to not use styrofoam cups for my coffee and to only smoke in the designated smoking areas of my building.

Different types of reagents are required by chemical laboratories and various industries on a daily basis. Each day, someone is carrying out an experiment or is manufacturing a product. Furthermore, you will find other markets which are waiting around to be tapped and this business displays excellent promise given that reagents are really involved in a lots of activities involving production. They're also used in schools and universities and if you think that reselling different types of reagents, or empresa de Japón fabricante de reactivos in Spanish, will perhaps be a worthwhile venture for you, here are a few of the items that can assist you in starting your own company.
The first thing you have to perform is to find trustworthy suppliers, makers or distributors of these reagents. If you are considering of initially selling reagents from one supplier, purchasing directly from the manufacturer might be your own greatest choice. Do this when you have enough funds and good warehousing since most of the big manufacturers will require you to buy a lowest amount of reagent kind. Buying from a single supplier will also help you save lots on shipping expenses and might even earn you discounts if you pay out in cash. Also, an advantage to this is that you won't have to talk to different individuals in case there are difficulties with a particular order of reagent.
However, if you want to buy in little amounts, then find wholesalers and retailers that market specific reagents that you are trying to find. Some suppliers do manufacture their own supplies but they also give varied kinds of reagents, or reactivos para análisis en laboratorio in Spanish, that were manufactured by other manufacturers. Reagents are a distinct type of products and they do not sell as fast as food does, so purchasing in smaller amounts will help you avoid losses and spoilage. This is also considerably better if you don't have the means to warehousing large volumes.
The ideal way to come across reputable reagent companies is by searching on the internet. This is more economical than going over the phone listing and trying to call every business in your area. The big reagent manufacturers and marketers often work on a global scale and have sites that display the products that they offer. An additional advantage of searching online is that you can very easily eliminate those that sell at high costs. You can also use the web as a tool to evaluate whether these companies are legit or not without ever going to a location and check out. Even though there's nothing wrong with checking out the business personally, the web is a cheaper means for many people to confirm. Look for sites that have phone numbers as well as physical addresses since these are hints that the business indeed is existent. Watch out for those that only offer emails and don't give enough customer service.
Looking for a reputable supplier of different types of reagents is just the beginning. You also have to become knowledgeable of the proper use of these chemicals or compounds for your security along with your customers'. Having a competent chemist on your group is also recommended.

Is there any manuscript among the Dead Sea scrolls, which foretold something that happened after the manuscript was written?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The Dead Sea Scrolls are not themselves a unique set of content, but rather a collection --rather like someone's private library-- of various texts from the time period that were all preserved together and help us understand the state of those texts at a specific point in time.
One example would be the Isaiah scroll, a basically complete copy of the entire book of Isaiah in one place. The book of Isiah was written ~750 years before Christ and includes many specific descriptions of what is life, dead and resurrection would be like.
You can see these verses on the scroll here. If you are interested there are lots of commentaries available on the hundreds of specific things Isaiah foretold about the Messiah that were fulfilled in the person of Jesus.
Also be aware that other works besides canonical scriptural texts were among the scrolls found. There are other works from the time period. The find has no particular affect on what text are or are not considered scripture any more than looking at the titles in a pastor's library today would prove one way or another what he believed, but the quality and quantity of texts found together do provide collaborative evidence for the integrity of other copies of the texts that were found elsewhere and in smaller chunks.

I have another question concerning one of previous posts: Stem-Leaf Display
In the textbook, in a later paragraph, they remark about how "...there are no observations that are unusually far from the bulk of the data (no outliers), as would be the case if one of the 26% values had instead been 86%."
Isn't the $4\%$ value particularly distant from the bulk of the data? And how would having an additional $86\%$ value in place of one of the $26\%$ values affect anything? Also, is the representative value always found in the place where the bulk is, where most of the data is concentrated?
Another remark the author makes:
"The most surprising feature of this data is that, at most colleges in the sample, at least one-quarter of the students are binge drinkers. The problem of heavy drinking on campuses is much more pervasive than many had suspected."
Wouldn't it actually be nearly $50\%$ of students at universities be binge drinkers, because that is where the values are concentrated?

1967 Plymouth Barracuda Aerospace Components Disc Brake ReplacementWritten by on August 23, 2010 Contributors: Steve Baur You Won't Just Stop Better. Your Mopar Will Be Quicker With These Aerospace Components Disc Brakes
There are a lot of ways to make your street or strip car run quicker at the track, but the first ones most people think of nearly always have to do with making more engine power. And while a more powerful engine should get your car moving quicker and running faster in the quarter-mile, there are also other components that can greatly affect the acceleration rate. By lightening the transmission and its internal parts, the driveshaft, the differential, and even the axles, wheels, and brakes, it takes less power to turn these components, equaling more power left to propel your car in a straight line.
And while maximum acceleration will ultimately be determined by a combination of factors, one way we've found to improve acceleration, enhance safety, and save weight in critical places is by converting your Mopar to aftermarket disc brakes. Remember that the brakes on our Mopars were mass-produced many years ago and are very heavy by today's performance car standards. Since our '67 Barracuda (Project B3) is pretty much a dedicated drag car, we didn't need the extra weight of factory vented rotors and cast iron calipers up front, so we decided to replace our car's heavy 11-inch drum brakes out back with aftermarket units as well.
Having had great luck with Aerospace Components products in the past, when we began looking for the brake parts we went directly to the Aerospace Components website to see what they had for our car. What we found was a great website with lots of information and multiple kits available for most Mopar body styles. The employees of Aerospace Components are gearheads and racers themselves, understanding the importance of quality and using the best lightweight materials in their brake systems.
Aerospace Components manufactures caliper brackets to mount to nearly any Mopar spindle, so converting from drum to disc or disc to disc isn't a problem up front. In the rear, Aerospace kits fit all the popular axles, including the 83/4 and Dana 60. To be sure you get the correct brakes for your car the first time, Aerospace Components asks that you fill out a worksheet, giving them information about the car's weight, use, lug pattern, and spindle dimensions. While this process takes a little time up front, it ensures that all of the components will fit properly when you get them, potentially saving time and headaches in the long run. Once we faxed in the worksheets for our car, the staff at Aerospace Components quickly assembled our kits and had them ready to pick up in a couple of days.
With our new brakes in hand and the car loaded in the trailer, we headed to Inline Performance Specialists in nearby Bushnell, Florida, to perform the installation on one of their lifts. This is an easy project for the average mechanic and can be accomplished with jackstands and a floor jack, but having a lift makes the work go a little quicker. Out of the box, we were initially impressed with the quality of the brake components. The four-piston calipers are machined from billet aluminum as are many of the other components. The rotors are drilled and slotted for maximum cooling, and brake pads and hardware are all included. We ordered flexible steel braided lines for all four corners as well, ensuring we had all the pieces we'd need for the installation.
Starting on a Saturday morning, we removed the stock brakes from our Barracuda and had the Aerospace Components brakes on the car and bled by four o'clock that afternoon working at a leisurely pace. Weighing the brakes showed us that the Aerospace disc brakes were a full 50 pounds lighter up front, and over 36 pounds lighter in the rear, for an impressive 86.56 pounds total weight savings. Even better, most of this is unsprung weight, where the benefits can be greater. Also, the lighter rotors will be easier to accelerate, and easier to stop, for better all-around performance and safety. Additionally, the aluminum calipers are designed with pistons that actually retract after the brakes are applied, greatly reducing parasitic drag caused by friction. All these advantages should add up to improved braking, and more importantly, better acceleration for our A-Body project car.
Back at Gainesville Raceway, our time slips certainly backed our expected performance gains, and the B3 ran an all-time best elapsed time. The Barracuda was launching harder, and transferring more weight to the rear wheels thanks to the lighter front brake assemblies, equating to better sixty foot times, better elapsed time, and higher speed in the eighth mile. At this level, tenths of a second are hard to come by, so for the price we feel that the Aerospace Component disc brake conversion is definitely money well spent. Read on and see how easy this installation was to perform, and find out how quick we ran at the track!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
It's no doubt our B3 project car is running better than ever, clicking off 6.2-second eighth-mile elapsed times at over 115 mph with consistent 1.40 60-foot times. We're hoping to improve those numbers and make the car safer by installing front and rear disc brakes from Aerospace Components.Knowing that its common for old cars to have non-original parts, Aerospace Components asks you to fill out these worksheets so they can customize their brake kit for your car, accounting for the car's weight, intended use, and lug-pattern as well as the spindle and rear end dimensions.Up front, the Aerospace kit includes two-piece rotors, billet calipers, and all new bearings, seals, hardware, brackets, and racing brake pads. The pieces were all professionally packaged, clearly marked, and ready to install.The Aerospace four-piston calipers are made in the U.S. and designed so that the pistons retract when the brake releases. Unlike factory brakes and other aftermarket systems, the Aerospace rotor pulls the pad away from the rotor, greatly reducing friction.The disc brake kit for our Dana 60 rear was also complete, including the necessary brackets and shims to ensure proper caliper position. Again, we found all of the parts to be top quality, and everything needed for the installation was included in the kit.Our parts were ready in a couple of days, so we took the Barracuda to Inline Performance Specialists in Bushnell, Florida, to borrow one of their lifts. Technically, this job is of average difficulty and can be performed with basic hand tools.We began removing the heavy factory brakes from our car, weighing everything as we took it off. Up front, one of the '73 up factory rotors weighed nearly as much as the entire Aerospace front kit.By weighing the items we took off the car, and weighing the Aerospace kits, we calculated a savings of 50.46 pounds from the front of the car and 36.10 at the rear. At a total weight savings of 86.56 pounds, mostly unsprung weight, this conversion will definitely equate to quicker elapsed times and better front to rear weight transfer at launch.
With the rotors and calipers installed, the wheels can be bolted in place to check for any clearance issues. We actually had more clearance than the factory brakes gave us, so the wheels came back off so we could connect the lines and bleed the brakes.In the rear, the axles must be removed so that the drum brake backing plates can be detached from the rear-end housing.....To center the caliper over the rotor in the rear, shims are used between the axle retaining bracket and the caliper bracket. We were able to achieve perfect caliper spacing with our kit.With the rotors and calipers installed, the wheels can be bolted in place to check for any clearance issues. We actually had more clearance........than the factory brakes gave us, so the wheels came back off so we could connect the lines and bleed the brakes.To connect their calipers to your car's brake system, Aerospace Components offers flexible lines in various lengths.........as well as an assortment of fittings. We had no trouble finding the correct parts on their website to finish our installation.
There's no doubt that in addition to saving weight and offering great performance, the Aerospace Components just look trick..........With our installation complete, we loaded the car up and headed back to the track to see the results of our labor.Following the Aerospace instructions, we made a couple of easy passes, accelerating to about 100 mph then braking rapidly to seat the brake pads. After re-checking all the fasteners and looking for fluid leaks, we found no problems and decided to drop the hammer.After experimenting a little with tire pressure and burnout technique, we decided our Hoosiers needed just over ten psi and liked a moderate burnout. We knew we were likely to run quicker elapsed times than ever, but we were surprised by how much quicker.Leaving the line conservatively with the trans-brake, our Barracuda launched hard and ran a 1.36 60-foot time, nearly a tenth better than our previous best 60-foot. Additionally, the car stopped noticeably better, giving us more confidence to race at tracks with short shutdown areas.In far warmer weather conditions than we'd seen during our baseline passes, we made a best pass of 6.01 seconds at 117 mph in the eighth mile, with a best 60-foot time of 1.34 seconds. At more than two tenths improvement, there's no doubt these brakes not only made our Plymouth stop better, but made it faster as well. Not bad for a modification you can perform yourself in a day.

Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Looking for a quick clean without waste for your wood or tile floors? Our Quick Sweep Sweeper features reusable cleaning cloths made from microfiber that literally trap dust and dirt, rather than simply spreading it around. They're also larger than traditional, disposable cloths. The swiveling head rotates for easy reach cleaning.
Enter your zip code for product availability and pickup options at your nearest store or select a store by state.
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

I am trying to solve the wave PDE using the Fourier method and I need to animate the plots of the partial sum of order 45 -- U45(x,t) with initial conditions U45(x,t0), {t0, 0, 12, .2}.
I am confused: should I define the function f[x, t, k_] or should I do it as f[x, k_] and later access the 't'.
a[k_] :=
{2/(k*π) Integrate[Cos[(k*π*x)/6] (2 - x) Sin[π*x]^2, {x, 1, 3}], k != 0},
{1/6 Integrate[(2 - x) Sin[π*x]^2, {x, 1, 3}], k == 0}}]
f[x, t, k_] :=
a[0]*t + Sum[a[i] Cos[(i*π*x)/6] Sin[(i*π*t)/6], {i, k}]
sol = f[x, t, 45];
Anyway, the above is the piece of code I've written so far. Tried a dozen different Plot3D combinations, but the error I receive tells me I can not replace t. I am open to everything tutorials, papers, tips, plain solutions, everything.

WELLSBURG - The six individuals inducted to the Brooke County Schools Wall of Fame Wednesday served the school district in a variety of capacities, including school board member, teacher, coach, teacher's aide and custodian.
But testimony from them and those who have known them showed they had at least one thing in common: all loved their jobs.
"I always tell people I'm living a dream. I've had so much fun in Brooke County," said Bill Ewusiak, a teacher and coach at Follansbee Middle School and Brooke High School for more than 40 years.

WALL OF FAME INDUCTION — The 11th-annual induction to the Brooke County Schools Wall of Fame was held during Wednesday's Brooke County school board meeting. Taking part were, from left, inductees Richard Pannett and Bill Ewusiak, Harold and Elizabeth Hunt and Flora Lewis, family members of Edward Forker, who was inducted posthumously; inductee Joann Stoetzer, Susan Bowers, sister of James Skews, who was inducted posthumously; and inductee Betty Traubert. -- Warren Scott
Since his retirement six years ago, he has remained involved as a substitute teacher.
Also expressing a love for their professions were fellow inductees Richard Pannett, a teacher, coach and school board member for the district over a 33-year period; Joann Stoetzer a third grade teacher at Jefferson Primary School for 30 years; and Betty Traubert, a teachers's aide at Franklin Primary School for more than 30 years.
Family members and colleagues said that same spirit was shared by posthumous inductees Edward Forker, a custodian and maintenance worker at Brooke High School for 20 years; and James Skews, a biology teacher and assistant principal at Follansbee and Brooke high schools.
Board President Jim Piccirillo, who nominated Ewusiak for induction, said of him, "He is proud, humble and not one to celebrate his personal accomplishments, and they are many."
Piccirillo said after setting school records as a football player at Fairmont State College, Ewusiak applied the same athletic spirit to coaching football and basketball. He added Ewusiak had no less enthusiasm for teaching biology and though he could have become a principal or athletic director, he chose to remain in the classroom.
"He was always on time, prepared, dedicated, well dressed, loyal and willing to help every child," Piccirillo said.
Brooke County schools custodian Mark Ross said Forker was imposing in size but quiet and gentle in nature and remembered by those who knew him for his warm smile, kindness and willingness to help others through his skill at carpentry and other talents.
Flora Lewis agreed her brother "had love in his heart for everyone. That was the kind of guy he was."
Brooke County schoolteacher Holly Yarter recalled Pannett's teaching career began at his alma mater, Edgewood School, where he taught science and physical education in the 1960s.
Though he left the school district to teach in Ohio for 14 years, he returned to Brooke County in 1978, serving as a social studies and driver education teacher and boys and girls basketball coach at Brooke High School before retiring in 2001.
Yarter said Pannett helped every player to contribute, treating all with respect, and he often is approached by former athletes who hold him in high regard.
"I never had to get up in the morning and not want to go to work," Pannett said, adding he even enjoyed monitoring the cafeteria at breakfast, when he was able "to move from table to table and talk with the kids."
"I loved every minute of it. I wouldn't trade my profession for anything," he said.
Janet Tarr, who nominated Skews, said his "great joy and love were the students."
She said as assistant principal, Skews often handled discipline problems but dealt with each with patience and understanding. When he discovered a student had stolen items from a local store, he accompanied the boy as he returned them and convinced the owner to accept the boy's apology, she recalled.
Former Brooke County Schools bus driver Duane Heck, who nominated Stoetzer, noted she was unusual in holding the same third-grade teaching position throughout her career.
"Can you imagine how many lives she started off in her tenure at Jefferson Primary School?" he asked.
In accepting the honor, Stoetzer said, "We never get anywhere in life unless we have help along the way." She said many helped to make Jefferson Primary a great school while she was there.
Stoetzer credited her parents for instilling in her solid values, from insisting she share her things to seeing that she wrote thank-you notes for gifts or acts of kindness, and her mother for convincing her father to allow her to attend college.
Those who have worked with Traubert reflected on her high energy and concern for the children.
Franklin Primary Principal Scott Donohew said that ranged from asking him to contact a parent when their child was arriving with a lunch comprised of candy to ensuring children got on the right bus when their parents needed them to ride to a grandparent's house.
"Franklin Primary was clearly a better place because she was there," he said.
Former Franklin Primary School teacher Betty Lou Harris said Traubert is "one of the most tireless persons I know. She would run around the building like she was 15."
Traubert said she came to love Franklin Primary School and its staff and pupils, and former Franklin Principal Ed Schupbach told her, "We felt the same way about you, Betty."
Harris, who chairs the Wall of Fame selection committee, said it's not easy for the group to choose from nominations each year because there are so many deserving recipients.
The community is invited to submit nominations and may re-submit a nominee if that person isn't chosen initially.
In addition to receiving certificates of recognition, recipients' names are added to a plaque displayed in the board's meeting room.

How can we encourage more people to transcribe portions of the Stack Overflow Podcasts? Would a reCAPTCHA-like system be appropriate for this? Better yet, how can we encourage people to create a computer program that is capable of generating the transcriptions with no manual human effort? This seems like it could be a fun and challenging project.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
We've tried the automated transcriptions before (machine voice detection) and they are horrible.
Require so much editing to be readable that you're better off transcribing manually.
Having taken a shot at transcribing, I would say that something that could aid my efforts would encourage me to do it more. What ends up happening is that I hear a segment I think is really good, and I want to transcribe it (because with other material I appreciate being able to locate it later, maybe quote it and send it to someone, etc). So I take 5 or 10 minutes to do the segment, and suddenly it just took 30 minutes! Why? It's tedious.
What would be nice is some kind of tool that is like the transcription machines from days gone by. I never used one but I know that the right features would make this faster. Some ideas:
Would you be interested in a community podcast transcription service that utilizes the power of your site's tribe/users/community. It would all be driven by a ridiculously simple-to-use UI and API. The goal would be for your users to stay on your site, but hit a little button/link on the side of the page that says something along the lines of "Contribute 10 seconds of your time to help transcribe Podcast #65" (or whatever you want it to say... it's an API, you have the power!!)
Feature Notes:
It would allow a user to transcribe a 1 to 3 second clip. In the end, it would auto-stitch each "transcriptlet" into the final transcript, then post it. The main goal is an unbeleiveabley simple to use interface that takes the user 15 seconds or less to transcribe a 1 to 3 second clip. If 1,800 (of your 1 mil users) transcribe 2 seconds then your 60 minute podcast is transcribed (potentially in an insanely short period of time).
There will of course be options: like must have 3 (or X) copies/matches of each "transcriptlet" ~roughly match before it is "auto-approved/stitched". And many more, I am not going to get into all of the details here...
Other features: Point-base sub-system, achievement sub-system, ...
Questions for Joel and Jeff:
Anyways, what I wanted to know is, would you guys (Jeff and Joel) be interested in a using a service like this. I need a good beta site to try this out on. You could empower your community and get your podcasts transcribed. And be part of building a (another) great service.
And of course, I want to know: Do you think other sites with podcasts and a community would pay for something like this. I am talking like $5, $10 or $15/hr for transcription (rather than the $200+/hr that some people charge). There will also be a free service (X minutes/month or whatever) too, but the premium service would cost a very small amount. Or possibly it will be ad supported. But I know I just listened to you guys talk about the dissapointment with Google AdSense... Anyways, it's starting out as free for sure (during beta). And most likely free for you guys always :) Because I want StackOverFlow to be transcribed (I will pay the $5 per podcast :)
What inspired this project:
Current Project Status:
I had my first meeting with the development team, we have initial database design, very rough Balsamiq Mockups, FogBugz Wiki/Tasks created and a bunch of other planning done. They asked me:
I said, I don't know, but I have very strong feelings that they would. So that is why I am asking. It would be GREAT if one of you or both of you could respond.
We can make this happen. I am ready to pull the trigger, we might do it anyways. But if I saw a reply from you guys that said "Heck yes we would use that". Then it would be a no-brainer for us to make it happen. If you said "You are a frikin' IDIOT"", then maybe I might back-off and think of another idea
Quick background:
I own/run a small development company in Grand Rapids, MI. We have run and successfully delivered many software products from the very big to the very small. We can rock it out.
Thanks for your time. I apologize for the very long message and the loose grammar. It happens when I get excited about something.
Revisit the idea of making teh Googles work in transcripting these with their rolling out feature of auto-captioning on Youtube.
You'd have to clean it up some later with all those dings and dongs that distract them so from forming proper words in the stream of things.
Bulk of the work would be done for you.
The hard part is actually listening to them talk for clarifications in the transcript.
I've tried some community transcriptions for another podcast, and some thoughts:
It seems to me that the earlier shows were fairly well-transcribed, but after Stack Overflow went public transcription rates went down. If that's an accurate assessment, it might have something to do with the fact that Jeff was allowing people who helped write down what was said in the podcasts to get into the SO beta.
Why not reward people who transcribe shows with reputation?

No Bones About It: Vegan Wing Bowl Returns to The Abbaye
All proceeds from the competition benefit Philly Roller Girls.
All proceeds from the competition benefit Philly Roller Girls.
This year's champion chowed down 287 wings to cinch the win.
While the skimpy clothes are a healthy form of sexual expression, labeling Wingettes sluts is a form of unresolved sexual repression.
The annual binge, purge, and stripper-ogling extravaganza's organizers fear El Wingador's presence will only hurt its reputation.
There's no Buffalo wing eating contest where he's going.
Plus: Puerto Rico plans to kill iguanas and export their meat; and friends that eat together put on the pounds together, all in our morning news roundup.
Plus: Experts say beer is better match for cheese than wine; and an investigation is under way to tie Taco Bell to a salmonella outbreak in Oklahoma, all in our morning news roundup.
Though there's no meat, by no means is this a protest against Wing Bowl.
Kobayashi is six-time champ of the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
The Abbaye and Philly Roller Girls team up to give vegetarians and vegans the opportunity to get in on the ridiculousness of the city's annual chicken wing eating contest.
The Philly-based artist celebrates food and the notion of celebrity through a series of hilarious, and at times disturbing, videos.
Bringing a porn star into the annual celebration of excess and waste just makes it more disgusting,
Plus an oatmeal craze sweeps the nation, and Tofutti ice cream cones get recalled, all in our morning news roundup.
Cupcakes enter the competitive eating fray
Like a train wreck, you just can't look away
Wing Bowl 18 may be the craziest yet
Mary Carey will be a Wingette

Peeling the zest doesn't seem like peeling a full peel of an Orange.
Any special kind of knieves to be used? Any special method?
What precautions need to be taken care off?
What is the practical way to peel off zest of an orange?
The ideal tool depends on what you're trying to do with it.
If you want something nice and fine, which will release as much flavor as possible, avoid getting any of the pith, and not add distracting texture to a dish, use a fine rasp grater (sometimes known by the brand name microplane):
(There are also coarse rasp graters. That won't be any better than a standard grater. You want one that looks like the picture.)
If you want something small but visible, use a citrus zester:
You can get skinny little strips that tend to curl with the small holes at the end, and bigger curls like you've seen on the rims of cocktails with the wider hole in the middle. (Edit: added the second picture. That looks like it was fun.)
Finally, if you want big pieces to put in something to cook in something, then maybe fish out later, you can use a normal vegetable peeler:
You want a zester. Perfect for removing the peel, but leaving the pith (the white part) in tact.
Use the basic $2 plastic peeler and don;t push hard, just let it glide
If the blade bends too much, heat the plastic between the blade ends over a flame, and bend the plastic slightly to tighten the blade up
A simple cheese grater will do the trick, but if you have the money, definitely opt for the abovementioned microplane.

Vogel assigns to every simple metric Lie algebra (and more generally to every simple metric Lie algebra object in a symmetric monoidal category) a point in the orbifold $\mathbb{P}^2/S_3$ (where $S_3$ acts by permuting the 3 projective coordinates) based on the value of the Casimir on the various summands of the symmetric square of the adjoint representation. These three numbers are only defined up to permutation (as there's no natural way to specify which rep is which) and rescaling (because the Casimir itself is only well-defined up to rescaling).
Under this assignment we have $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and $\mathfrak{so}_3$ going to different points. How is this possible? My best guess is that $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and $\mathfrak{so}_3$ are different as metric Lie algebras, but that also seems weird.
In the conventions of this paper $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ corresponds to the point $(-1:1:1)$ while $\mathfrak{so}_3$ corresponds to the point $(-1:2:-1)$ and these are different points in $\mathbb{P}^2/S_3$. You can also easily check that the points are different in other convetions.
This question was originally asked in comments by Scott Carnahan, but I wanted to move it up to the main page.

DURANT, Okla. – Choctaw Nation Recycling will soon begin an ambitious new endeavor titled Choctaw Project IMPACT, which will focus on recycling efforts in the northeast portion of the Choctaw Nation.
The project will allow for a recycling center, similar to the existing location in Durant, which will serve as a hub for all mobile rollaway receptacles located in the area and be able to compact materials.
It is expected to be located in Poteau and functional in early January 2013, and will be able to process all types of paper, cardboard, tin/steel cans, aluminum cans, plastics (1, 2 and 5), printer cartridges and Styrofoam. It will be open to all residents and businesses in the community and is not limited to Choctaw Nation tribal members, employees or businesses.
IMPACT will also hire two new employees, create opportunities to educate communities and host special collection activities much like those hosted in Durant.
Collection events would include e-waste collection and recycling collection days where the staff will collect materials at a special location. Communities will be engaged by working with Girl/Boy Scouts, youth groups, senior citizens, etc., to help citizens learn more about the importance of recycling.
IMPACT is funded by a grant issued to Choctaw Recycling by Administration for Native Americans (ANA), Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS). The grant is set for $151,280 for the first year and will be funded at approximately the same rate for two additional years.
ANA is a part of the Department of Health and Human Services and has the mission to promote the goal of self-sufficiency for Native Americans by providing funding for community-based projects and for training and technical assistance to tribes and native organizations.
"Through the grant we expect to reach around 120,000 people," stated Director of Project Management Tracy Horst. This recycling program is aimed at providing education and collection activities to divert recyclable waste from landfills or being dumped through our communities. These types of efforts will "definitely make a positive impact on community health and well-being," continued Horst.
This effort will not only benefit the environment, but can also cut trash costs for businesses and individuals. Though Choctaw Nation already cooperates with businesses, it will be able to reach many more through the grant. "We look forward to speaking and working with clubs, schools and businesses within the northeast area of the Choctaw Nation," remarked Horst.
If you would like to know more about the Choctaw Nation's recycling efforts and how you can help, contact Tracy Horst at (580) 920-0488 or (800) 522-6170.

I'm looking for a web app I can install to allow users to create simple forms, collect responses, and extract the data (e.g. as a CSV spreadsheet) in order to track travel, expenses, etc. Any recommendations for an existing web app, or approaches to implement it (e.g. with Rails)?
closed as off-topic by John Conde♦ Mar 19 '14 at 11:16
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
You don't mention a budget, so I'll give you my two favorites:
Wufoo - Paid (unless you have small requirements), but awesome. Non-install, but you create the forms there and then install them in your webpage. You can bulk-export to excel or CSV.
FormTools - Free, open-source, self-hosted. Does all that you need, but isn't as simple to use as Wufoo. However, it is simple to use and I like it a lot.
The only form-creating apps I know of are Wufoo, Pandaform, SurveyMonkey, FormSpring.me, and OpinionLab. But of these, only Wufoo will work for what you want (I think; you may want to check the other sites to see if they have advanced integration APIs like Wufoo does). However, there is also a 3rd-party Google Form API that can customize Google forms via webscraping the formkey and using the Google Data API.
Though unless these services offer additional features you need, I'd just code the forms yourself. It's not that hard (easier than integrating with another service at least), and even if you want flexible forms, there are ways to do that as well (and if you don't want to use EAV, you could try these options).

United Nations hails Kingdom's $30 million commitment to polio eradication
September 29, 2011
The United Nations Foundation announced late yesterday that Saudi Arabia has already delivered $15 million of its $30 million commitment to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). The first half of the funding will be used by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for vaccines and by the World Health Organization (WHO) to support campaign operations this year. The remaining $15 million will be released in 2012 to support both agencies.
Timothy Wirth, President of the United Nations Foundation, thanked the Kingdom for its assistance, saying, "This significant contribution will save thousands of children from the devastating effects of the deadly disease polio. It's more than just a donation – it's a gift that symbolizes the successful partnership between donors and health workers for millions of children."
Dr. Bruce Aylward, WHO Assistant Director-General for Polio, Emergencies and Country Collaboration, also welcomed the contribution. "This new commitment from Saudi Arabia enables the last steps towards the eradication of this ancient disease, and we hope it will inspire others in the region to bring their considerable financial and political support to ending polio and protecting the most vulnerable," he said.
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake commented, "The fight against polio is a global challenge for all of us. Its defeat will be a ringing victory for all of humanity – marking only the second time in history a disease has been eradicated. With this generous donation from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia we move closer to achieving this goal, and to saving millions of people from the threat of this crippling disease."

Thorüsa: Our Divine Mission/Greatest of the Fiends
I HAVE TO help Galinicus be acquitted. After all, Ive come to Thorüsa for his sake, and cant fail him!
Salekt tilts his leech head toward me. What did he hope to achieve by sending you here? Also, if Galinicus thinks this is so important, why didnt he put himself into such deep sleep and enter Thorüsa?
Hes too old. Galinicus is seventy, and he knew that if he drank the sleeping draught, it would kill him. He sent me because Im young and healthy, and he wants to discover if
people can pass through the doorway into the afterlife. Our church claims they cant, and that Thorüsa is only meant for temporary punishment of celestials who dont obey our god completely. However, if thats true, why are
here searching for fugitive spirits? Secondly: can souls repent of their wrongdoings after death? Again, our clergy say that they cannot. What would be the point of repenting while youre still alive, our priests have asked, if all can be forgiven in the next world as well as this one? That would be a mockery of our gods justice, and an insult to his laws. Still, Galinicus and I believe it can be done! Thirdly, and most importantly: can our Great Foe and the Abyss be defeated via rescuing those who are to be damned?
Salekt sighs wearily. What has our faith always taught? Both Elysium and the Abyss are invincible.
to immortal souls.
However, our god could certainly vanquish the latter if he wanted to.
Then why doesnt he? Salekts question hangs in the air like a thick fog, and neither of us can answer. Regardless, I know firsthand that our god and the Great Foe are locked in stalemate. Neither side has an advantage, but if we can pluck condemned souls from the fiends grasp and guide them to repentance
Perhaps this stalemate will break in favor of our god. A sense of urgency suffuses my spirit, but then I hesitate. Wait a moment. Even if we accomplish this, what about Galinicus? He could be executed!
True. However, if we succeed in our divine mission, the ecclesiastical court will have no choice but to free him. Do you remember how shades in Thorüsa can communicate with those who are still alive? I nod. If we can help to save even one lost soul, and have him or her speak to the courts judges along with us, the judges will know that Galinicus theories are true. They will acquit him, and he wont face the stake.
I hope youre right. However, even if we are victorious, what if the judges dont believe our evidence?
Thats a risk Im willing to take, especially for the souls who are headed for the Abyss if captured here. However, for the sake of argument, lets say were wrong. None of the condemned souls in Thorüsa can be saved, or repent of their sins. Lets also say that the Abyss cannot be defeated, either by those living or dead. We will still be right on one point: the living can enter Thorüsa if theyre put into a deep-enough sleep, under the circumstances which Galinicus has discovered.
are proof of this, so theyll have to concede it. Since Galinicus is correct here, and we go and prove it, we have absolutely nothing to fear.
I embrace his wriggling form, even though my arms can scarcely do so. We cant lose! Another thought comes suddenly to mind: Also, if our priests ever lie, even one word, theyre sent to the Abyss while still alive. Can you imagine? Salekt shudders. They cant say they dont believe us - unless they speak truly.
How? Theyre sensitive to spirits, so they cannot plug their ears and pretend theyre not listening. That would be a lie, and they would be immediately condemned. You are correct, my friend: we cannot lose. He winks. What are we waiting for? Lets get started, and I have a plan in mind. He and I finally leave the shade of the evergreen tree in Galinicus front yard. Im careful to avoid the swarm of glowing leeches beneath me. Salekt, however, travels among them as a false ally. Hopefully, theyll never sniff him out! Ive been searching for my sister, Anya, Salekt tells me. Not long after I died and entered Thorüsa, I heard hundreds upon hundreds of these leeches hissing her name! They do not speak as we do, but since Im in their guise, I can understand them. Apparently, they havent found Anya, either, but I hope to first. Shes already dead and headed for the Abyss, of course, but such is the fate of false priestesses
I WISH TO know more about Salekts sister, but his anxious expression stops me from investigating further. I follow him as he travels with the other leeches, although I float above the river of their wriggling, writhing bodies. They swarm everywhere, like honeybees inside a hive, although these creatures are after fugitive souls instead of nectar! I try not to be afraid of them, but its absolutely impossible. Where are they all going? I attempt to ask my new friend, but Salekt lifts his head up and jerks it as a signal for me to remain silent. From the front yard of Galinicus country cottage, and my home, we head toward the heart of our city. I wince:
If the leeches seek easy prey, then they couldnt pick a better place to find it
Faster and faster they crawl, gaining momentum as they sweep over the dusty streets in a great flood. No one else notices, however, but Salekt and me. After all, we are dead (or, at least I am for all practical purposes), and they are still alive. The fiends of the Abyss are no more visible to them than faeries. I consider this a blessing, because if I had seen them when I was awake, I would have gone mad! Its so strange to me that life is going on as usual - merchants hawking their wares, people talking and laughing, and workhorses whinnying as they pull carts - while unspeakable horrors squirm right at everyones feet. They have no sense of whats going on beneath them, on the other side of Thorüsas mystical doorway!
Once the fiends sniff the intermingled odors of horse manure, sweat, approaching rain, and a hint of a nearby tarts perfume, they stop crawling and realize their journeys over. Although blind, they seem to know our city by heart, as do Salekt and I. The creatures slide over and around each other for a minute, conferring in worm-murmurs, and begin to move again. This time, however, they
as well, and I float up as high as I possibly can. They swarm over the walls of every available building, upon rooftops and awnings, and in every single crack. In a matter of seconds, there are leech-fiends covering every surface I can see, even those of human bodies! They crawl in peoples mouths and dangle in their living eyes that do not yet see. As if this spectacle were not vile enough, the fiends hiss over and over in a chant of rage.
I almost yelp when a
leech does a backflip so high that he lands right on my shades shoulder!
Calm down!
Salekt squeals. Ill pretend that Im collecting you. Stay with me. He latches onto what would have been the meaty part of my left shoulder had I been awake. Dragging me quickly but gently, my new friend takes me to ground level, and the fiends surrounding us dont seem to mind. They have their own souls to locate. Still, Im quivering uncontrollably. Dont worry. As long as you stay quiet, these brutes wont even notice that your shades not fully here. Do you know why you cant touch your ethereal body?
Startled by this sudden and seemingly-irrelevant question, I shake my head.
Part of you is in the mortal world, and the other part is in Thorüsa. Youre
and thats both a blessing and a curse. The fiends cant drag you toward the Abyss, because youre not dead yet. However, if they find you, theyll certainly try. I nod, stunned with worry. As for me? Im counting on the fiends being driven by two things: hunger and obedience. They probably wont eat me as long as theyve been assigned other lost souls to escort to eternal damnation! They take their marching orders from our Foe.
What about the three gigantic leeches, whom I saw devouring other ones as fast as they could?
Salekt shudders. They are the greatest of the fiends, or at least thats what Ive found out in the year that Ive been wandering in Thorüsa. You dont want to get near them, or let them get near you. They feed, and grow stronger, only when an incredibly wicked person is dying. They need such power in order to latch onto that persons soul and pull him or her down to the Abyss. As I recall, I havent seen them since He shuts his eyes. since I was at the stake, and flames were licking my clothing. As acrid smoke began to fill my lungs and scorch them, my eyes watered, and I saw the great leeches before me. Their horrid, eyeless faces stared into mine, and I began to wail and cough. However, it turns out that they werent after me, but the Imperatrix who lit my pyre. Unfortunately, it wasnt her time to die, and
there they are again!
Without another word, he gently latches on again and pulls me forward. We cant afford to lose the three glowing leviathans, at least if we want to have a chance of reaching the condemned soul before they do

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -This summer's drought has left plenty of farmers high and dry and looking forward to a new year with better results.
USDA Under Secretary Mike Scuse, toured a farm in Mayetta to see first hand the effects the drought has had on Kansas.
Farmers in Kansas have been distraught with the production of this summers crops. The lack of rain and extreme heat are yielding lackluster results.
Under Secretary Michael Scuse says Kansas isn't alone
He says he's seen fields in other states that were planted in May that are bare with nothing.
Mayetta farmer Nick Bowser says recent rain has helped to some degree but for the most part it was just too little too late. Nick said, "The corn crop has failed already but the biggest benefit of the rain is an increase in our grass. Our pastures will green up and help livestock producers not have to feed hay so early to the animals.
To say the drought has been tough on this year's crops would be an understatement. So much so in fact that the USDA Under Secretary came and had a first hand look at bean fields that are knee high and supposed to be waist high this time of year.
Michael said, "The production for this year is pretty much gone. These plants should not be dead they should be very much alive and full of pods. These plants should be three to four beans in each pod and if you look there's only two to three pods. Production is extremely limited here at best.

I had a user recently who reported an issue with my plugin's options page not loading. They would click on the "settings" link but only got a blank page.
There was also an issue with the rich text editor showing up on the category edit screen.
I could not figure out why, on almost every other site but their's, the plugins loaded fine. We disabled all plugins except mine and still could not get the plugins to load properly.
Some time passed and I got an email from the user that he had resolved the issue (WP 3.1 site) by editing the file wp-admin/includes/misc.php
$got_rewrite = apache_mod_loaded('mod_rewrite', true);
$got_rewrite = true;
Anyone have any insights into why the unedited file might cause issues with plugins?

Pregnancy Diets: What to Eat When You're Expecting
Eat right to look -- and feel -- your best during these nine very important months of your life
Skip ahead to see the foods pregnancy diets should consist of -- now.
In fact, most doctors agree that too much of anything (even ice cream, pickles and French fries -- the well-established mom-to-be cravings) is not a good thing when it comes to your pregnancy diet. That said, you can -- and should -- treat your expanding middle with respect, care and attention in order to provide your baby with proper, essential, and important nutrients for growth.
"I always tell patients to keep it simple, consuming foods from all of the various food groups, while limiting those that are high in fat or simple sugars," explains Dr. Jeff Livingston, M.D, an OB-GYN in Irving, Texas. "Moderation, serving size and portion control are all factors, too, to help you look and feel, inside out, the absolute healthiest and best that you can."
In addition to eating right to maintain pregnancy health, it's vital to keep moving -- exercising as you would regularly with some modifications, per your doctor's orders and recommendations, and to take a multi-vitamin (preferably a prenatal one) daily; these, in conjunction with colorful, healthy pregnancy diets and plenty of water, will keep you and the belly in tip-top, gorgeous, shape.
Here, a few pointers, compliments of Dr. Livingston and Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner (and mom of four), Kim Sakovich, also from Irving, Texas, to help you properly (rather than literally) eat for two.

While commenting on: this answer I tried to give an exact number of all sorcerer-wizard spells in D&D 3.5.
Trivial searching didn't produce any results.
Therefore, how many spells are there, by level and class?
While commenting on: this answer I tried to give an exact number of all sorcerer-wizard spells in D&D 3.5.
Trivial searching didn't produce any results.
Therefore, how many spells are there, by level and class?
1017 spells, as of 2005. This significantly does not include spell compendium updates or the latter complete books.
Operating over this list of sor/wis spells, without filtering for sorcerer specific or wizard specific, for all books from 2005 indexed, we get:
This gets us a total cost to learn of (renting access) 50*spell level = 210625 + 4230 pages or 5 blessed books for 12500*5 for 273125 gp, A sizeable chunk of a level 20 wizard's cash and a seriously non-trivial amount versus the 340k gp a level 17 wizard starts with.
While Chet's indexes are clear and useful, they are unfortunately not very complete. Notably, since the spell list's last update was in 2005, it is missing such important works as the Spell Compendium and the latter part of the Complete series (Complete Champion, Complete Mage, Complete Scoundrel).
A large database I know of is IMarvinTPA's database. In addition to being searchable, it is available in CSV format.
Naively looking through the CSV sorted by Sor/Wiz levels, I get:
For 1483 spells, covering 6011 pages of a spellbook.
However, the accuracy of this obviously depends on IMarvinTPA's accuracy. While it does grab from a greater number of sources than Chet's index, it
Another (probably even more comprehensive) database was the one published by DnDtools.eu, which is now dead for hosting Wizards material without permission. It was an SQLite database that contained 1935 unique spell names associated with the classes "Wizard" or "Sorcerer".
Grouping by (minimum associated) spell levels, I got the following:
Go here for the SQL. I have not gone further into investigating the discrepancies between the two datasets.
From only the core spell lists for Wizards and Sorcerers in the SRD and some tedious counting...
Level 0: 19
For grand totals of 372 Wizard spells and 370 Sorcerer spells.
Filter by Sorcerer - 2542 Filter by Wizard - 2520
However, this does include multiple campaign settings, renamed spells and versions of the same spell from different WotC books.
