Newsome's 7 TDs power Ansonia into semifinals
ANSONIA — Less than a week after breaking his own single-game records for rushing yards and touchdowns, Ansonia High senior running back Arkeel Newsome found a way to put forth an even more impressive effort.
The state's all-time leading rusher ran for 492 yards and seven touchdowns on 26 carries Tuesday night at Nolan Field to lead the Chargers to a 49-21 victory over Coginchaug in the quarterfinals of the Class S state playoffs.
Ansonia advanced to Saturday's semifinals to play Rocky Hill at Sheehan High in Wallingford at 2 p.m.
Newsome's 492 yards not only established a new single-game high for the 5-foot-8, 180-pound tailback, it allowed him to become the first running back in state history and only the seventh nationally to surpass the 10,000-yard career milestone.
"It's a great accomplishment, but I give it all to my teammates and my line," Newsome said. "They did a phenomenal just blocking all the way through. I get through the first line, I get to the (defensive backs) and I'm clear."
"It is amazing," he added. "I never thought I would be able to get (10,000 yards). But to have it, it is crazy."
He now has 10,155 yards as he continues to smash the old state career rushing of 8,279 held by Ansonia's Alex Thomas. Thomas still holds Ansonia's single-game rushing record of 518 yards set in 2007 against Woodland.
Newsome tied his own single-game best mark for touchdowns with the seven, which came on runs of 72, 15, 83, 68, 64, 55 and 3 yards. He scored the 72-yarder on the Ansonia's first play from scrimmage.
"If we do our job, he is gone," offensive lineman Matt Simon said. "If we make all the right blocks in all the right places, he is scoring. It doesn't matter. Everyone has seen him play. The kid has the best cuts in the state. he is fast, and he knows the field. Make your blocks, and he's gone."
Newsome also rushed for 406 yards and seven touchdowns against Naugatuck, making him the first running back in state history to run for 400 yards or more in consecutive games. In the past six days alone, Newsome has rushed for 898 yards and 14 touchdowns to give him 52 touchdowns for the season and a state-record 178 career touchdowns.
"I don't know what to say about the kid," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "He has been fantastic. When you think about over 10,000 yards and it is probably going to be the first time ever a kid has been a unanimous three-time state player of the year. He has been remarkable, and he has handled it all so well."
Newsome's teammates said that in leading the Chargers to their 13th win this season without a loss and the program's 41st consecutive win overall, Newsome continues to be humble.
"To be honest, I don't think he really cares (about the yardage)," fullback Saiheed Sanders said. "I think he just cares about winning a state championship. He is very unselfish, very unselfish."
Tajik Bagley rushed for 92 yards on five carries for Ansonia. Coginchaug (9-3) was led by quarterback Ty Meeker (22-for-37, 250 yards) and receiver Jack Granger (14 catches, 130 yards).
The Chargers won Tuesday despite playing the game without starting quarterback and cornerback Jai'Quan McKnight. He injured his right ankle in the win over Naugatuck.
"He was good to go tonight," Brockett said. "We thought we could get by without him, so we had a different package in that we thought we would be able to go with. Without him, we did a little more Wildcat."
In the Wildcat formation, Ansonia snapped the ball directly to Newsome.
"I love the direct snap," Newsome said. "It is great. When you are back there by yourself, you see everything. It is definitely a big advantage, because where you see where the blitz is coming from."
Regardless of whether Newsome is taking a handoff from McKnight or running after a direct snap, defenses have an incredibly difficult time stopping him due to his incredibl combination of speed, vision and agility that allows for tremendous cuts at full speed.
"The best teams run the same plays even when the other team knows what they are going to do, and they score on those plays," offensive lineman Antone Mack said. "It has worked for us for so long here, and it doesn't stop working. Every year we have a great offensive line that makes it work and the magic happens."

Freshlyground make the Cape Town FIFA Fan Fest™ go "Waka Waka"
Zolani Mahola of Freshlyground. Photo by Deon Gurling
Freshlyground, the Southern African musical collaboration that has caught the attention of the world during the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, thrilled some 17 000 fans at the FIFA Fan Fest™ this evening.
Freshlyground have been making world-class music for many years now, recording songs such as Doo Bee Doo and I'd Like, but it is Waka Waka, their official World Cup collaboration with Shakira, that has elevated them to global stardom.
Comprising musicians from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the group has a very African style, and the beautiful voice of Zolani Mahola has given the group a distinct sound. Their live performance at the FIFA Fan Fest™ was genuine and energetic, a pleasure to witness.
Some of the group members popped into City Hall briefly before their show. They said they are thoroughly enjoying touring with Shakira and getting to see many parts of the world while they perform.
Kyla Rose Smith told Cape Town Tourism that what she enjoys most about Cape Town is "the proximity of nature to the city." The bubbly violinist said she enjoys spending time outdoors here. "I love hiking up Lion's Head and walking along the beaches," she said.
Drummer Peter Cohen said he enjoys Cape Town because of all the adventure activities such as kite-surfing. "I also enjoy all the nice prices here, especially when you compare them to Europe," he said.
Simon Attwell, who plays the flute and other instruments, said Freshlyground were very proud to have been so involved in the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ and were thrilled at the opportunity to perform in front of such a big crowd in Cape Town.

Can two siblings in one family marry two siblings of another family?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Yes. Many Mishnayos in Yevamos are premised on that very situation. See for example chapter 3 mishna 1.
Some have a custom to allow such marriages, but to have the siblings live afterwards in different cities. (This is sort of a compromise between the two positions that Shalom mentioned.)
The Lubavitcher Rebbe zt"l writes in one of his letters (Igros Kodesh, vol. 3, p. 182) that his father R' Levi Yitzchak Schneersohn and his uncle R' Shmuel Schneersohn were advised by the then Lubavitcher Rebbe, R' Shalom Dovber Schneersohn, to do exactly that when shidduchim were proposed for them with two sisters.
(To clarify, this applies only when two brothers are marrying two sisters. The question mentioned "siblings," which could also be a case of a brother and sister marrying a sister and brother from another family. There is no objection to that, as far as I know, and thus no reason to have them live in different cities.)
The Sefer Chasidim says not to, but the Noda Bihudah observes that the Talmud says it's fine. (See Barry's answer.)
The Noda Bihudah concludes that the Sefer Chasidim must have been talking about some special case. (Marrying someone with the same name as your parent is a similar case -- Talmud says it's fine, Sefer Chasidim says it's a problem; there, the Noda Bihudah suggests that the Sefer Chasidim knew through divine inspiration that any such marriage among his offspring would not be a happy one.)
(The above heard on a yutorah shiur from Rabbi J. David Bleich shlit'a.)
Regarding the same-name-as-parent issue, someone asked R' Moshe Feinstein. He said it's the kind of thing that if it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it, and if you're asking me whether to worry about the Sefer Chasidim, that means it doesn't really bother you, so go for it.

Families fear Sandy killed cottages, traditions
|A Tuesday Dec. 4, 2012 photo shows the Bratek family cottage, which was damaged by Superstorm Sandy, in Brigantine, N.J. Families that inherited small homes on the New Jersey shore over the years are trying to decide whether it is possible to repair or rebuild after Superstorm Sandy. (AP Photo/Katie Zezima)
"It was made of pieces and hearts and souls and emotions and memories," Bratek said, remembering how he would ride there as a teenager in the family station wagon, its freight of free siding and donated wood causing the back to practically scrape the highway.
Superstorm Sandy battered the Brateks' home and other seaside bungalows and cottages passed down through families that scrimped and saved to buy small getaways on the Jersey Shore. Now many families that see themselves as stewards of an heirloom are grappling with whether it is affordable, or even possible, to rebuild.
For some, Sandy may have washed away any chance of another generation going "down the shore," as trips to the ocean are known in New Jersey, to anything other than a rented condo or motel.
Many cottages passed down through generations are owned outright and did not have flood insurance, because they didn't have mortgages, or didn't have enough insurance to replace what they lost. Even before the superstorm, many middle- and working-class families struggled to maintain the properties and to pay high property taxes.
Anthony Cappuccio, owner of Boardwalk Design and Development in the coastal community of Margate, said many families have inquired about whether they can be rebuilt.
He expects to see many boarded-up homes next summer because people couldn't afford repairs. He has heard a variation on the same story at least seven times since the storm: "I got the house from my mother. We don't even pay the taxes. And we don't even know if we have insurance."
There's no good way to assess how many people are facing the dilemma of whether to rebuild, but Donovan Rankin, owner of Coastline Insurance Agency in North Wildwood, said there were many more "legacy homes" on the shore before the real estate boom a few years ago that resulted in many families selling property that had suddenly become hugely valuable.
Bratek's father and aunt, who jointly own the house in Brigantine, just north of Atlantic City, stopped paying for flood insurance years ago because it was too expensive. With no mortgage, flood insurance wasn't required.
The Brateks had even put the house on the market as a desperate measure prior to Sandy because they could no longer afford the nearly $13,000 annual tax bill. The small cottage is wedged between two very large, much newer homes, and Bratek's father and aunt are on a fixed income. The for-sale sign lies in the grass, blown down by the storm. The house was on the market for $599,900.
It was a hard decision.
"It has so many memories it's difficult to disassociate the place from the house," he said, counting them off: his grandparents dancing to polka music on Sunday mornings, his friends pitching tents outside, his two children being conceived there.
The family used to put a bucket on the counter for guests to pitch in a few dollars for electricity, food and maintenance.
Sandy flooded the house with 6 to 7 feet of water in late October. The deck and dock are destroyed. Bratek is in construction and could easily rebuild the house given his access to materials, but he can't summon the emotion to fully assess the damage and see whether rebuilding is realistic.
As is the case with many legacy homes, there are many voices, which can complicate decision-making. Bratek's father has three children and his aunt five, all who planned to use the house in the future and must now decide its fate.

No. 8 Washburn Ichabods Comeback Falls Short At Central Oklahoma
Posted: 7:33 PM Jan 5, 2013
Reporter: WU, posted by Kinch O'Kelley
EDMOND, Okla. -- The No. 8 Washburn made a furious comeback in the second half to put itself in a position to win but came up short in a 72-67 loss at Central Oklahoma. Washburn returns to action at Fort Hays State on Thursday.
After trailing by as many as 22 in the first half, the Ichabods used a 30-15 from the 17-minute mark of the game down to the 7:20 mark turning a 43-26 deficit into a three-point deficit at 58-55 after a Kyle Wiggins' layup.
Wiggins would score on another lay up cutting the to 61-58 on a traditional three-point play with 6:04 left. UCO responded putting the lead back to seven twice before a Martin Mitchell lay up cut the lead back to five at 67-62 with 3:20 to play. Mitchell hit another jumper to to cut the margin back to four at 68-64 with 2:07 left and after a UCO pair of free throws with 1:46 to play Will McNeill hit a pair of his own cutting it back to a four-point deficit but they would get no closer as UCO held on for the win. The Ichabods outscored the Bronchos 45 to 30 in the second half after being outscored 42 to 22 in the opening half.
In the first half, the Ichabods trailed by 20 at 42-22 as the Ichabods were 5 of 25 from the field including a 1 of 10 performance from behind the arch.Washburn was limited to three field goals in the final nine-plus minutes of the first half. UCO led by as many as 22 in the opening half as the Bronchos were 16 of 26 from the field including 4 of 9 from 3-point range. UCO also held a 19 to 14 advantage on the glass forcing seven Ichabod turnovers leading to 12 UCO points. Washburn was 11 of 15 from the free throw line compared to 6 of 12 for UCO.
Mitchell scored 21 coming off a 23-point performance against Emporia State last time out. Wiggins scored a career-high 17 in the game and McNeill finished with 14 going 12 of 14 from the free throw line. Washburn was outrebounded 45-35 in the game and outscored 30 to 10 in the paint by UCO.
Josh Gibbs led UCO with 16 points adding 10 rebounds.
Washburn finished 17 of 60 from the field for the game including 6 of 26 from 3-point range while going 27 of 36 from the free throw line. UCO finished 23 of 50 from the field and 20 of 36 from the free throw line.

Suppose matrices $A\in K^{m \times m}$, $B\in K^{m \times n}$, $C\in K^{n \times m}$, $D\in K^{n \times n}$.
I need to show that if $A$ and $D-CA^{-1}B$ are invertible, then $\begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{pmatrix} \in K^{(m+n) \times (m+n)}$ is also invertible.
I know what invertible means: $A$ is invertible if $A A' = E$ where $E$ has dimension of $A$.
Is there a trick to know if it is invertible before calculating many matrix elements?
Thanks in advance!

I can say "I feed someone". Am I forced to say "I give someone a drink", or is there a single word for this (as in "I [verb] someone")? Unfortunately my thesaurus can't really help me.

I don't think there is a single transitive verb for "give drink to [someone]".
If that someone is an animal, you could use water, as in to feed and water a horse:
However, it's unlikely you would use this for a person; the phrase fed and watered refers almost exclusively to livestock, and watered, alone, more to plants, as in I watered the geranium today. It can be used humorously, for example, if you say to a host upon your arrival, to mean that you've already eaten, "No worries; we've already been fed and watered."
If that someone is a baby, you can also suckle them—but this word has even narrower application.
You might try a synonym of sorts for "give," and let the context fill in that a drink was given: (as waitstaff) I served her, I delivered his order; (at the table) I poured her some, I filled his glass.
Approaching this question etymologically:
"Feed" is not related to "eat" because the former originally means to "foster", "nourish" or "protect". See Etymonline's entry for feed.
Similarly "nourish" has cognates in French "nourrir" (to feed) and "nourriture" (food), but notice how "nourrice" (nanny) refers to the woman who looks after (and used to give milk to) a child. In fact, it is said one "feeds milk to a baby" or "breast-feed", hence it is applicable to liquids too.
It is possible the word "food" narrowed down to non-liquid edibles in time, but in the field of nutrition, "food" refers to drinks as well. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food
Funnily enough, the PIE root of "feed" is *PA- and is also found in Sanskrit as two synonyms √pā which can either mean "to protect" (3rd person indicative present pāti) or "to drink" (3rd person indicative present pibati). See: http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/cgi-bin/monier/serveimg.pl?file=/scans/MWScan/MWScanjpg/mw0612-pazubandhaka.jpg
Etymologically speaking again, "to drench" relates more to "to drink" see: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=drench
So in fact it is not so much "to drink" as it is "to eat" that is in need of a causative. :)
I would go with hydrate. You feed someone; you hydrate someone.
I'm going to say there isn't a single transitive verb for "to give someone drink" as there is for "to give someone food". The word "water" can be used as a transitive verb in the context of caring for animals, as in "feeding and watering the horses". The same term "fed and watered" is sometimes used in the context of people, but the verb "watered" for supplying drink virtually always follows being fed; if you were to hear of someone "watering" someone else the immediate mental picture is of spraying them with a hose or sprinkler like a lawn or garden.
I think "hydrate" is a bit technical/medical-sounding. The normal verb is simply water. The vast majority of several thousand NGram hits here for "feed and water the" will be using "water" as a verb, and juxtaposed with "feed" they'll also mostly mean "give drink to" (i.e. - not for washing).
Granted, "water" in this sense invariably does pair with "feed", and it's usually applied to animals rather than people. But I think unless you accept this word, you have to say we don't actually have a liquid equivalent to "feed" in common parlance.
Per John Lawler's answer here, and Benjamin's answer below, there was a time when drench would have been indisputably correct for OP's context. I wouldn't endorse such usage today, but it's worth noting the first definition in OED...
...and also worth flagging up several hundred written instances of feed and drench in Google Books.
If you'll allow for new coinages, I think embibe could fit nicely. To imbibe is to drink; en-/em- as a prefix can signify conversion into a state (embolden). To be made to have drunk. :)
"Nurse" could be very appropriate, as could "feed".
Nurse, verb, to feed from the breast.
Note that milk is liquid, and so therefore, "feed" and "nurse" are appropriate.
"Nurse" is a bit specialized for the purpose of this meaning, but it works all the same.
I have heard "quench" used this way:
From a song we used to sing at the Christian school.
The word slake is usually used in the context slake one's thirst
"Eat" is to "feed" as "drink" is to "feed", "drink", or nothing, depending upon the context.
"To feed" is a pretty versatile verb and can be used in several different ways. Some of the examples directly related to eating include:
When talking about drinking rather than eating, you can find examples of people using the term feed, for meanings similar to 1 (e.g. "I fed the milk to the baby."), and drink for meanings similar to 3 (e.g. "The animals drank."). I do not know of an equivalent for meaning 2.
As others have offered, "water" can be used when talking of animals, and "hydrate" could be used at a stretch for humans but seems rather unnatural.
I think we should invent a word, and I vote for either "to libate", or "to embeverage" :)

Suppose $h$ is a function on $Z$ that is periodic with period N, that is $h(n+N)=h(n)$ for all $n$. How to prove: for any $m \in Z$, $\sum_{n=m}^{m+N-1} h(n) =\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} h(n)$. In other words, any sum over an interval of length $N$ yields the same result. This is problem from the area of linear algebra and is a homework
Let $m \in \{0 \dots, N-1\}$. Then we have $$\sum_{n=m}^{m+N-1} h(n) = \sum_{n=m}^{N-1} h(n) + \sum_{n=0}^{m-1} h(n + N) = \sum_{n=m}^{N-1} h(n) + \sum_{n=0}^{m-1} h(n) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} h(n)$$ Now for $m \in \mathbb{Z}$ write $m = kN + r$ with $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $r \in \{0, \dots, N-1\}$. We clearly have $$\sum_{n=kN+r}^{k(N+1) + r -1} h(n) = \sum_{n=r}^{N+r-1} h(n+kN) = \sum_{n=r}^{N+r-1} h(n)$$ Now the last expression equals $\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} h(n)$ by the first part of the argument.
Expand $$\sum_{n=m}^{m+N-1}h(n)$$ What do you know about $h$?
The important point here is that any set of $N$ consecutive integers is a complete residue system modulo $N$. See complete residue system. We consider the index modulo $N$ since $h(n)$ has period $N.$ i.e. the numbers $ \lbrace m,m+1,m+2,\ldots,m+N-1 \rbrace $ modulo $N$ are $ \lbrace 0,1,2,\ldots,N-1 \rbrace $ in some order.
Your identity follows immediately from this fact.

I'm doing my homework for a Physics class and trying to get ready for a quiz. I encountered this question:
Two ramps of equal length are situated such that ramp #1 has a slope (with respect to the horizontal) of 30°, and ramp #2 has a slope of 60°. Neglecting friction, roughly by what factor is the time it takes a ball to roll down ramp #1 larger than the time it takes a ball to roll down ramp #2?
I did this: $$ \frac{\sin60}{\sin30} $$
That came out to be 1.74, but the correct answer is 1.3. How?

2012 Theme Word: Persist
For the 4th year in a row, I'm setting a theme word for the year rather than new year resolutions. The problem with the theme word selection process is that I spend much time thinking about it and coming up with the word, but then lack the time to write about my reasonings, which then leads me to not blog until I've posted the theme word. Last year, this had me on a hiatus until June. This year, it's been going on so long it seems almost silly to write about it but I've been following it, even if I never did announce it. I've also found that I prefer my "new year" to start around my birthday so this seems like a good time to write about it. Previous years: Realize (2009), Listen (2010), and…
Last Year's Theme Word: Nurture
You can read in depth about why I opted for nurture last year. In terms of how well I accomplished it, I have to say it was a mixed bag. My intent was not only to maintain all the great things that were in my life but also to grow them into more. Instead of putting energy into new projects, I wanted to double down.
For work, this took a drastic turn as I left Twitter in the middle of the year. However, while I wasn't able to continue to nurture Twitter's culture and product internally, I did continue to strengthen my relationships with those I had the pleasure to work with. Many of them are great friends today.
Personally speaking, it was my first year of marriage and first anniversary. In that respect, I think we've done a great job at continuing to have very open communication that's served to make us stronger individually and as a couple.
This Year: Persist.
This year opens with a new company and new product in the works, a long running book that has just hit the printers, and probably many challenges ahead that I have yet to foresee. I elected for a word that represented what I think will be the greatest challenge for the year: to keep at it. The word applies to personal health and personal life as well—though perhaps less directly than "nurture" did.
Completing these projects requires persistence. There will be times where we need to meet somebody, or ask for money from someone, or get the attention of some publication. There will be moments when that home stretch on the book, or the grueling hours or lack of external validation may really challenge my morale and motivation. In those times, I remember the theme word and it pushes me forward.
Persistence vs. Passion
Recently, there's been a few articles and blog posts written about the fallacy of "follow your passion". I think these posts make some good points. In essence, they refer to the fact that simply following your passion may be too short-sighted. You may not discover something is a passion because you don't stick through enough to get good at it. This reminds me of a quote from Adventure Time's Jake the Dog:
Having said that, I do believe that people tend to fall into two categories:
- Those who jump too quickly to something else and give up too soon, before truly realizing their potential and assessing their passion based on this potential.
- Those who stick through something that sucks and they don't enjoy out of sheer stubbornness to "see it through", be it relationships, work, or projects.
My selection of "persist" this year is deliberate, with an understanding that I've started down the path of a few challenging projects and they require persistence to see through to completion. I don't think persistence for the sake of persistence is the right thing to do. I've been working for years, perhaps even decades, on projects that lead up to both the book and the startup and know them to be passions of mine.
Joe Kraus, partner at Google Ventures and co-founder of Excite, wrote a piece a few years ago about the value of persistence. It applies as much to startups as it does anything. Once you find the things you believe in, then you keep at it until all options are exhausted and all you feel you couldn't have done anything more. There are times when it's time to step away and give up and the real wisdom that comes from experience is knowing the difference.
For this year, my path is to persist and try everything I can, put everything on the table, and see how it goes.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Not all babies surprise us with their arrival. Over the past 20 years, the number of inductions - where labor is started for mom - and C-sections has more than doubled.
The trend has given birth to new problems. Dr. Sue Hall, a neonatalogist in Stormont-Vail's NICU, says the past thinking was that a baby born at term - anywhere from 37 to 40 weeks - would be fine. However, new studies are showing births at 37 and 38 weeks carry an increased risk for the fetus.
Hall says, as scheduled deliveries increased, so have the number of babies in the NICU. The risk of death for a baby born at 37 weeks, while still low at 4 in every 1000 births, is twice as high as a baby born at 39 weeks.
New research shows just how much happens in those extra weeks, including brain growth. A baby's brain at 35 weeks is two thirds the size it is at 40 weeks.
Hall says, in addition to brain growth, those extra weeks also are critical for lung development, gaining weight to help baby stay warm when they're born and neurological maturation for functions such as strengthening the suck and swallow that helps baby eat well.
The new evidence spurred the March of Dimes to launch its "39 Weeks Campaign." Moms thinking about delivering before that time, or whose doctor suggests it, should ask why. Hall says maternal health problems, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or risks to the fetus, such as a baby not growing well, could prompt the doctor to decide the benefits of delivering early may outweigh any risks.
If a mom's body naturally goes into labor after 37 weeks, Hall says, don't worry. She says that's usually a sign baby is ready. Natural deliveries, she says, tend to have better outcomes.
Hall says women should call their doctor right away if they go into early labor, especially before 37 weeks, since babies born prematurely have even greater risk of complications.

Nook Color for $89.99
5.00 shipping Pre-owned
14 Comments add a comment
I'm sure this is a decent cheap tab to take and root. Any suggestions?
@glandes: My suggestion on this device is to make a boot card running CyanogenMod 7. (CM7)
You leave the reader intact and can run as an Android Tablet by inserting the microSD card. You can make the card up to 32GB which is excellent and Google Play is available for Apps. XDA.developers has the how to, there are lots of YouTube videos on it...or you can even buy an already made card.
Use Class 2 or 4 for best results....I have made close to a hundred of these and you will not be able to find more bang for your buck.
I had a Nook Color for a while, and would buy one again. I had mine rooted, but using the stock rom. I enabled side loaded apps, added all the Gapps, including Android Market (this was before the rebrand to play), and added a third party launcher. It was great and was even able to fit in most of my jean's pockets.
Good price, but seriously, just buy a real tablet. Why buy from a company that purposely makes their software closed? Yes, you can fix it, but you shouldn't have to, and by buying it, you endorse it.
Awesome--just had a friend showing me his Nook Color over the weekend, and had got me into wanting to find one for cheap. He said it was super easy to root. I was plenty impressed with it. Great deal.
@glandes: GREAT DEAL !!! If rooting this tablet i would highly suggest using nothing but a SANDISK micro card tried with other brand card and had nothing but load errors ! used same boot program on sandisk card and tablet works flawlessly!!!
@bigbry28: EXACTLY. SanDisk....but class 2 or 4...higher presented problems.
How quickly does cowboom.com ship? I know someone who wants to buy one of these as a present but needs it within a couple weeks.
These are awesome. Easy enough for my non-tech-savvy mom to use, interesting enough for the rest of us to want to steal from her and mod. This deal is pretty tempting.
@jgarcia408: If you do not need it for a couple weeks, no problem. They use UPS, and get it out within a couple days.
@jgarcia408: Every time I buy something from Cowboom it gets to my house within a week or so. I have always had excellent luck with them!
Nook Color was the first "tablet" I owned. Promptly loaded CyanogendMod 7 onto the internal memory, was not even looking back to the stock Nook software.
Now, it's in possession of my fiancee, who uses it to read books with Aldiko and watch movies that I load for her. I enjoyed it and now she is also. :)
I am very happy with my "rooted" nook color. I got the deal with the color and the nook touch....best deal I got in a while....I like both readers...and I used the SD card method to make it a android tablet. Its a modified CyanogenMOd7....
This is a great price for a decent tablet. Its not a Ipad 3, but it cost about 1/6 of one too, and does everything I need....
Best device ever.

STEUBENVILLE - The way Steve Diomedi sees it, being a part of a community carries responsibility as well as rewards.
Diomedi, general manager of the Yes TEAM Family of Dealerships, said it's why they're always looking at ways to give back to a community that's given them so much.
"It's where we live, too," he said. "Everybody who works here - and we have more than 100 people - is from here, too, so we're not just giving back as a business, but as a community, too."

AVAILABLE FOR AUCTION — Looking over the 2003 Toyota Camry donated by the Yes TEAM Family of Dealerships for this year's "Two Great Causes, One Giant Holiday Auction," slated for 1 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Fort Steuben Mall, are, from left, Tricia Maple, a board member of the Jefferson County Chapter of the American Red Cross and owner of the Inn at Brandywine; Cindy Kotsch, special projects director the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times; Jim Conrad, Red Cross board member; and Steve Diomedi, Yes TEAM general manager. Proceeds from the auction, which will include signed prints, Amish-made furniture, gift certificates and gift baskets, will be divided between the local Red Cross chapter and the literacy program sponsored by the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times. -- Linda Harris
This year, the Yes TEAM is donating a car, a 2003 Toyota Camry with a little more than 82,000 miles on its odometer, to the "Two Great Causes, One Giant Holiday Auction," slated for 1 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Fort Steuben Mall. Proceeds will benefit the Jefferson County Chapter of the American Red Cross and the literacy program sponsored by the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times.
Last year's auction raised more than $15,000, which was divided between the programs.
"It's a great cause, and we'd like to give something back to our community," Diomedi said. "The Camry's dependable, and it's been fully serviced. Whoever buys it won't have to do anything to it."
Diomedi said the Toyota that will be auctioned this year is a worthy follow-up to the 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix TEAM donated in 2011. That car alone raised $8,800 for the Red Cross and literacy programs.
"We searched through our inventory (for the right vehicle)," Diomedi said, "and the Camry is the one we came up with."
Other items going on the auction block include Dave Barnhouse prints, Amish furniture and gift baskets, all donated by Tri-State Area merchants.
"This year, we have more than 150 items collected so far," said Kathy Musso, executive director of the Red Cross chapter. "We have Amish-made furniture, sports items, food baskets, restaurant gift certificates, jewelry - just such a wide variety of things. There will be something for everyone, put it that way."
Musso said the car will be displayed in the mall prior to the auction, which will be handled by Cain Realtors and Auctioneers.
"It's a great place for people to do their Christmas shopping," she said. "We rely on it to raise additional funds for operations, whether that's providing assistance to fire victims so they have a safe place stay, helping keep the office running smoothly, and providing a communications link for military personnel. These funds are combined with individual donations and our allocation from the United Way."
Musso said the auction "is a way to help the community, have a good time and make new friends."
"Many of our attendees come almost every year," she said. "People do a great deal of their Christmas shopping at the auction - there are some great buys."
John Hale, circulation director for the newspapers, said the literacy program currently serves students in 18 area schools.
"Our literacy program is an important part of what we do," Hale said. "Each week, more than 600 newspapers are distributed to students in schools throughout the Tri-State Area."

Masked man warned for trespassing outside Starbucks in wee hours
A 49-year-old Glendale man was warned for trespassing after a report of a man wearing a ski mask holding a computer standing outside of Starbucks, 302 E. Silver Spring Drive, at 2:30 a.m. Jan. 26.
The man said he was using the company's Wi-Fi to pay his bills online.
Brown Deer schools get $2.4 million additional bonds for campus remodel
The Brown Deer School District will have an additional $2.4 million in Qualified Zone Academy Bonds, QZAB, that will be used toward the remodeling of the middle school and the portion of the high school that will be used by the seventh and eighth grades once the move to a two-school campus is accomplished in 2013.
Director of Finance Emily Koczela said the authorization for additional bonds means taxpayers will save the interest on $2.4 million over the next 10 years.
Under the QZAB program, bondholders get federal tax credits instead of cash interest payments.
In June 2011, the district learned it got authority for $5 million under the program. The program requires a 10 percent match from the community.
Koczela said plans are under way for the match for the initial $5 million. Four projects, including the campus clean up, garden, plantings, creek clean up, the website, and the annual maintenance corps of volunteers, a Middle School PTO sponsored Science is Fun Fair and 20 internships per year for the next five years, and an educational concert or performance, are either under way or in the planning stage. Koczela estimates the value of the projects will be more than $500,000, or 10 percent, provided they all come to fruition.» Read Full Article
GT boys improve to 16-0 with impressive 90-54 rout of Bay
Whitefish Bay assistant basketball coach Jim Smallins knows all about terrifying, heart-in-your throat, head-shaking and what-in-the-name-of-heck-can-we do-against-these guys kind of teams.
After all, he coached a couple of them to WIAA state titles back in 1966 and 1967 during the halcyon days of the high-powered Milwaukee Lincoln program. Those teams could race up and down the court and score at will according to those of a certain age with long memories.
Lincoln is long-gone as an institution, but the memory of its powerful basketball program remains intact in the ferocious, intense man pressure that the Germantown boys are imposing on everyone they meet this season.
Good or bad or in-between, the results are the same, no one can stand in against the Warhawks (8-0 in the North Shore and 16-0 overall) for long, and the Blue Dukes, who entered Friday night's game with a respectable 9-4 overall mark (5-2 in the North Shore), were just the latest speed-bump.
The top-ranked in state Germantown squad forced nine first quarter turnovers, hit 14 of 24 shots in the period and generally made a mockery out of any sense of competition by racing out to a 33-4 lead.» Read Full Article
Worker killed in Mequon construction accident
A 27-year-old Racine man doing carpentry work was killed Friday afternoon in a construction accident at the Mequon Country Club, police said.
The accident was reported shortly after 2:40 p.m. at 12400 N. Villa Du Parc Drive, Mequon police said.
The man, whose identity was not released, fell from the upper portion of a structure that was being built at the location.
The accident is under investigation by Mequon police and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, police said.
Big guys lead charge for Germantown grapplers in 49-30 win over Homestead
The well-known bobblehead out in the trophy case alongside the Germantown gym probably tipped its head spontaneously in approval when no one was looking following the Warhawks' 49-30 North Shore dual meet win over rival Homestead on Thursday night.
But probably just a little bit, as because everyone in the area wrestling community knows, now retired coaching legend Barry Bernstein made his way across the North Shore leaving success in his wake, starting first at Whitefish Bay, then with a long tenure at Germantown (his formal employer) and then finishing up a fine stint at Homestead last season.
He and his lovely wife Nancee are now retired and living in Colorado, where Bernstein is no doubt helping bears to wrestle (laughs).
The bobblehead, which is the property of current Germantown coach and Bernstein protege' Casey Gabrielson, is probably a bit too skinny and Homestead wrestling coach Ernie Millard, who is a long-time friend of Bernstein's and who admits to having a copy of that very same bobble on his desk, offered this question:

Boy OK after being struck by car while crossing North 60th Street in Brown Deer
Brown Deer Police report a 13-year-old Milwaukee boy was struck by a car this afternoon while crossing North 60th Street in the crosswalk at West Fairlane Avenue.
The boy was taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries. His parents were notified and came to the scene of the accident.
Officers and the North Shore Fire Department were called to the area at 3:19 p.m. The driver of the vehicle, a 74-year-old Milwaukee woman, was at the scene. She was driving her car south on 60th Street when she struck the boy.She was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
There was no visible damage to the vehicle and the driver was not injured.
This is the second car-pedestrian accident in the general area this month. A 15-year-old Brown Deer boy was stuck by a car while in the crosswalk at North 60th Street and West Tower Avenue at 7 a.m. Jan. 6.» Read Full Article
Showalter's 36 leads motivated GT to stunning 86-48 rout of HHS
If this is the way that the Germantown boys basketball team reacts in the face of adversity, then the rest of the state's squads better hope that no one else on the unbeaten number-one ranked in state Warhawks gets hurt.
Because even without injured 6-11 center Luke Fischer, the Warhawks dominated the boards, outhustled and flat outplayed seventh-ranked in state Homestead by a lopsided 86-48 count in what was supposed to be a first-place showdown in the North Shore Friday night.
Oh, and they also had all-state guard Zak Showalter feeling like he was virtually unguardable as he recorded a career-high 36 points, including 24 in a first half that decided the game at 48-17.
"Every team faces some adversity," said Showalter of Fischer's broken pinky finger. "If we want to get to where we want to go, we have to face some of it."
And of course, everyone knows where the 14-0 Warhawks want to go this season:» Read Full Article
Tollaksen resigns as River Hills village manager
River Hills Village Manager Tom Tollaksen is resigning his post. His last day in the office will be Jan. 27.
Tollaksen, who was appointed River Hills' village manager in September, 1996, said he believes his goals at the village have been largely accomplished, including modernization of public services, improvement of village infrastructure, and fostering of a competent, compassionate and creative village staff.
"Although I will no longer be village manager," Tollaksen said, "I look forward to doing what I can to continue the village's status as a strong and vibrant community."
Tollaksen said his decision to leave the village was not an easy one.
"There are other personal goals that I want to accomplish," he said, "and the timing seems right for me and my family."» Read Full Article

Jackson-Body's 29 points lead Shorewood boys past Brown Deer, 73-65
Heart is succeeding with a knee wrap, four fouls and knowing that your opponent is taller, more athletic and maybe faster than you.
Heart is 5-8 Shorewood senior guard Deion Jackson-Body and his Greyhound teammates, who rallied from an eight-point first half deficit to pull away from visiting Brown Deer for a surprising 73-65 Woodland Conference victory Tuesday night.
"This is a really nice accomplishment," said Jackson-Body, who scored 29 points to lead the Greyhounds. "We got a few more wins last year and now we're getting some good wins this year (over good teams) and that's what makes it even better."
It was a major accomplishment, according to coach Phil Jones, because the Greyhounds (4-6 in Woodland play and 7-6 overall) have had a series of close games recently that they just couldn't quite put away.
But that wasn't the case tonight, largely due to the heart of players like Jackson-Body, Bobby Kohl, Aaron Bailey and Donovan Freeman.» Read Full Article
Fox Point-Bayside extends administrator contract
The Fox Point-Bayside School Board extended the contract for the district's superintendent Monday night after fielding calls for her resignation.
School Board President Michael Weiss said in a statement Tuesday that the board voted, 4-0, to approve the extension of "all administrative contracts," including that of Superintendent Rachel Boechler.
At issue is a decision that Boechler made in the early 1990s when, as a guidance counselor for Wauwatosa East, she did not report the sexual relationship between a female student and a teacher at the school.
The Fox-Point-Bayside board was aware of the case when it hired Boechler. Details of that case became more widely known after a Journal Sentinel column by Daniel Bice was published this month.
"It is important to remember that the Wauwatosa School District handled this matter according to its own procedures 20 years ago, and we have been advised that Dr. Boechler did report the matter to her supervisor at the time," Weiss wrote. "With a much better understanding of the facts than we have today, the Wauwatosa School District chose to take no disciplinary action against Dr. Boechler. . . .» Read Full Article
Bearden's free throw lifts Homestead boys to 61-60 win over Bay
Homestead sophomore point guard Lamonte' Bearden knew he was going to sink at least one free throw in the delicate situation he was placed in Friday night in the Highlanders' North Shore Conference showdown with Whitefish Bay.
How delicate? Try being fouled with one second left and the score tied at 60-all with a share of first place in the North Shore Conference on the line.
And then just for fun, Bearden tightened the screws on himself and Highlander fans just a little more by missing the first toss.
"Oh God," he laughed, many minutes after he sank the second throw giving Homestead a critical 61-60 victory over the defending state D2 champs and keeping their massive first-place showdown at top-ranked in state Germantown (13-0) next Friday intact.
"I knew I was going to sink one and more importantly, the team believed I was going to sink it too. They told me to miss the second one (if he made the first one). I guess I got that backwards (laughs)."» Read Full Article
Nicolet School Board candidate Halstrom withdraws
Nicolet School Board candidate Melody Halstrom has withdrawn from the three-person race this spring. While her name will likely appear on the ballot April 3, Halstrom's announcement essentially means the Nicolet race will be uncontested.
Incumbent Marilyn Franklin and newcomer Libby Gutterman also are seeking the two seats up for election. Incumbent Jennifer Peltz is not seeking re-election.
Halstrom, of River Hills, said she likely will run for Nicolet School Board in the future. After speaking with Gutterman, Halstrom said her opinions mirrored her would-be rival and felt there would be a duplication. Halstrom said she also respected Franklin, who has been on the Nicolet board for 24 years.
Mequon council approves senior apartments despite neighbors' objections
Property owners who live near a proposed senior apartment facility on North Cedarburg Road continued to oppose the project but an equal number of city residents from other areas as well as support from outside the city and from business owners made a strong case for allowing the project to continue at Monday's Common Council meeting.
In the end, after almost three hours of discussion, the council, by a 5-3 vote, decided to allow the construction of the 96-unit apartment building at 10908 N. Cedarburg Road to move ahead.
Jury acquits Whitefish Bay man of 2008 sexual assault try involving baby sitter
After the state Supreme Court agreed to suppress his statements to investigators, a Whitefish Bay man was found not guilty of sexually assaulting a teenage babysitter in Sheboygan County in 2008.
A jury acquitted Brad Forbush, 51, late Tuesday after a two-day trial, the Sheboygan Press reports.
The girl had told investigators Forbush had invited her to see a video of his children but when it began it was pornography, and he told her that's what they were going to do. He then tried to keep her inside his Town of Holland vacation home before she escaped.
Forbush testified that the wrong DVD played by mistake, he never mentioned sex, and he only tried to get hold of the babysitter -- now 22 -- to explain what had happened.
Forbush's attorney, Craig Mastantuono of Milwaukee, told the Press the jury decided "what we can reasonably surmise happened from the testimony is not what the prosecution said it is."» Read Full Article
Shorewood School Board accepts superintendent's retirement
The Shorewood School Board voted to accept the retirement of Superintendent Blane McCann on Tuesday night -- but not without being scolded by members of the public for letting him go.
Shorewood residents spoke at the beginning and end of the school board meeting at Atwater Elementary School, many of them criticizing the board for not doing more to keep McCann.
"I'm extremely disappointed and angered," said Shorewood resident John Carlton, "regarding the forces that came to lead Dr. McCann to retire." Carlton's a former school board member who lost a re-election bid in 2010.
McCann, 54, asked the board in a letter dated Dec. 29 to approve his request to retire after nine years as superintendent. The letter said the retirement would be effective July 10.
But the retirement will apparently not be the end of McCann's education career.» Read Full Article
West boys make enough plays to hold off Shorewood, 58-55
Shorewood junior forward Donovan Freeman could only pump his fist in frustration as his long three-pointer rattled off the back of the iron Tuesday night at the buzzer allowing New Berlin West to take a collective deep breath as it pulled off a physical 58-55 Woodland Conference road decision.
"That's the way our season has been going," said Greyhound coach Phil Jones. "Almost all of our losses have been like that. Greendale, South Milwaukee, Eisenhower and now this one. All four points or less."
With the win, West improved to 6-3 in Woodland divisional play and 8-4 overall while Shorewood fell to 3-5 and 6-5, respectively.
And Vikings coach Jeff Lewiston knows how lucky his team was tonight. West led wire-to-wire but the Greyhounds hung around all night and there was no point in the second half when the Vikings felt comfortable.
"We were fortunate," Lewiston said. "They just kept coming and coming. We had to keep our foot on the accelerator because they just kept battling."» Read Full Article
Brown Deer official appointed to MMSD panel
Brown Deer Village President Carl Krueger has been appointed to fill an elected official vacancy on the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's 11-member governing commission. Krueger is owner of Carl Krueger Construction Inc., a remodeling contractor.
Milwaukee County's Intergovernmental Cooperation Council on Monday appointed Krueger to complete the remaining term of former Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier, who stepped down as mayor on Dec. 15 to become Milwaukee County's economic development coordinator. Her term on the MMSD commission expires in July 2013.
The ICC on Monday also appointed Leon Saryan of Greenfield as a citizen member of the commission to complete the remaining term of Dale Richards of Oak Creek. Saryan, a biochemist and member of the Greenfield Board of Health, is retired from a job as director of industrial toxicology at Aurora Health Care.
Richards, the former Oak Creek mayor, stepped down in December after serving the maximum nine-year limit on the commission. His term expires in July 2012.
The ICC appoints four of the 11 commission members. Seven are appointed by the Milwaukee mayor.

Agnew's spark gives Bay girls the strength to pull past Grafton, 28-24
The Whitefish Bay girls basketball team was looking for a spark, any kind of offensive spark in a grinding, physical defensive struggle at North Shore rival Grafton Friday night.
And senior guard Lindsey Agnew was the one who finally hit the circuit breaker.
She hit a jumper from the wing at the end of a minute-long possession at the start of the fourth quarter to close the gap to 18-17 and then three minutes later, she hit a three-pointer, also from the wing to put the Blue Dukes ahead for good, as they remained unbeaten with a 28-24 decision over the host Blackhawks.
"Lindsey was clearly the star of the night," said Blue Duke coach Greg Capper. "She held us in there offensively until the rest found their feet."
"And as we know, that took awhile."» Read Full Article
Fox Point-Bayside plans to test alert system Sunday
The Fox Point-Bayside School District will be testing its Blackboard Connect mass notification system on Sunday evening, Jan. 8.
The program allows school district leaders to contact parents and others with time-sensitive information.
"Today we must be prepared for emergency situations that we never could have anticipated happening, such as the bank robber apprehension on school grounds at Stormonth and the extended power outage at Bayside this past fall. The Blackboard Connect platform provides our district with the technology needed to quickly communicate with parents and staff," said Rachel Boechler, district administrator, in announcing the new system "We recognize the important role that immediate communication plays in safety, as well as student success, and we will use the system to engage parents and keep them informed of important issues as they come up."
In urgent situations, the district can quickly send accurate notifications and updates to parents and staff, helping to prevent the spread of misinformation, streamline efforts and keep students safe. The system also has the capability to disseminate information such as mandatory school closures, testing schedules, parent teacher conferences and related school events.
The messages can be sent via voice, text or email.» Read Full Article
Mequon man pleads guilty to killing parents
A 21-year-old Mequon man pleaded guilty Friday to killing his parents in the family's home after they refused him $5 for gas, and faces a likely sentence of life in prison.
Dennis Markov was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the April 17 deaths of Victor Markov, 45, and mother Larissa Markov, 39.
Police found the couple shot to death in the garage of their home in the Ville du Parc subdivision after Larissa Markov's co-workers reported that she hadn't shown up for job at Alexian Village retirement community.
Dennis Markov was also there and told police he had shot his parents, who had emigrated from Ukraine when their son was about 6.
The case had been set for trial Jan. 27, but a judge last month denied Markov's attorney's motions to suppress statements Markov made to police and to have the trial moved to another county. Plans for a change of plea were filed Tuesday.» Read Full Article

Work to start in February on Shorewood Walgreens, apartments
Excavation work is to begin in February for a parking structure that will be part of a Shorewood development to include a new Walgreens, and 84 apartments.
Developer Mandel Group Inc. will close on its financing by the end of January after the Village Board this week approved a revised development agreement, said Richard Lincoln, the firm's senior vice president of development.
The agreement was revised in part to reflect reduced financing costs to the village of around $80,000, said Lincoln and Chris Swartz, village manager.
The project's first phase will be a parking deck just west of Nehring's Sendik's grocery store.
Once that's completed, the Walgreens and apartment building, including an additional parking structure, will be built on the parking lot for Nehring's Sendik's, west of N. Oakland Ave. and south of E. Kenmore Place. The new building will relocate Walgreens from its current location across Kenmore Place.» Read Full Article

Robber grabs cash, drugs at Shorewood pharmacy
Shorewood - A man robbed a pharmacy at gunpoint Monday, leaving two employees in handcuffs and taking cash and narcotics, police said.
According to police, the gunman entered the Thompson's Serv-U Pharmacy at 1421 E. Capitol Drive about 1 p.m. and displayed a chrome or silver handgun. He fled in a dark-colored four-door vehicle with no plates that had been parked in the rear of the parking lot. One of the victims was able to free herself and call police.
The suspect was described as an African-American male, wearing a black jacket and gray hooded sweat shirt underneath, a knit cap and a scarf partially covering his face. Anyone with information about the robbery is being asked to call Shorewood police at (414) 847-2610.

(Adding a bounty since I need more details than I have so far)
Given a point $$ s_{0}=S(u_{0},v_{0}) \;\;\;\; (S:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R}^{3}) $$ and a point $$ c_{0}=C(t_{0}) \;\;\;\; (C:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^{3}) $$ where C and S are both twice differentiable, let $s_0$ be one of possibly many normal projections of $c_0$ onto S. Further, assume for simplicity that $c_0$ is the only point on C that projects to $s_0$. Then, assuming C'(t0) is not orthogonal to S at $s_0$, $s_0$ is a point on a normal projection curve $$ C_{S}(t_{0}) \;\;\;\; (C_{S}:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^{3}). $$
(EDITED to avoid mentioning derivatives, since there is freedom in choosing the parametrization of CS)
What is the curvature of $C_S$ at $s_0$?
I have no trouble coming up with an expression for the directed unit tangent of CS as a projection of C'(t0) onto the tangent space of S at $s_0$, but curvature is harder and I suppose involves some differential geometry--which I'm weak on.

Gluten Goodbye: One-Third Of Americans Say They're Trying To Shun It
Sure, we know that gluten-free is the Jennifer Lawrence of food trends. But we were still startled to hear that one-third of Americans say they're trying to avoid gluten. Really?
So we checked in with Harry Balzer, the food numbers king for consumer survey firm NPD Group. He said that not only is that number for real, but he thinks it's a little low.
"Around the beginning of 2012 this thing starts to rise, and it has yet to peak," Balzer says. "Right now 29 percent of the adult population says, 'I'd like to cut back or avoid gluten completely.' "
Indeed, he says, people in his biweekly survey of 1,000 people were more likely to say they're trying to go gluten-free than to say they're dieting.
That's interesting, since less than 1 percent of people have celiac disease, according to the National Institutes of Health. Those people can't tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye and barley. For them, avoiding gluten is the only way to avoid painful gastrointestinal problems and other symptoms caused by this autoimmune disorder.
But if the other 28 percent of people don't have celiac, why are they trying to shun gluten?
It could be that they're sensitive to gluten. As we've previously reported, a small number of studies have found that people who don't have celiac can still have difficulties digesting gluten.
Or they could just think it sounds healthful.
After all, while not everyone may feel they have the health issues to justify cutting back on salt or fat, Balzer notes, "everybody has digestive issues — everybody."

Is there any alternative to friendship in the following scenario?
I have a
Window class which represents an UI window. Also, a
WindowManager class, implemented as a singleton, manages all window objects in my application (renders the UI, dispatches events, etc.)
WindowManager will have a public interface consisting of only its singleton instancing method and functions to render the UI and to dispatch an UI event.
I would also like
Window objects to register with the
WindowManager during construction and to de-register during destruction. The
WindowManager::register and
WindowManager::deregister methods will be either private or protected, because I do not want clients (other than
Window objects) to be able use this interface.
Is there a method to avoid friendship between
Window and
WindowManager in this case? Perhaps a totally different way to achieve similar results?

Basically what the title says. I rooted my phone with unrevoked (I am not sure if I used the "forever" version or not). Will installing the 2.3.4 Gingerbread OTA update from Verizon remove my root? I'm not running any special ROMs if that makes a difference.
You almost always lose root when installing an OTA update. I would keep an eye on RootzWiki or DroidForums for someone to confirm that it can be rooted or someone to release a rooted update.
Yes, what Cheuer said.
Installing an OTA while you're running a customized ROM in any way (even just rooted) pretty much always screws up root, sometimes even having a high risk of bricking your phone. NEVER install an OTA update while running customized software. If you ever want to go back to stock software, you need to go find the thread for your phone/ROM that tells you how to do this. Only after reverting back to stock should you attempt an OTA install.
Lastly, note that after an OTA update, you aren't always guaranteed to be able to root your phone again. Sometimes you're stuck unrooted.
I would recommend not installing the update while you have root. The manufacturer of the device could have changed something in the update which stops the root from working either intentionally or unintentionally. If this is the case there is a risk that the phone will be bricked (i.e. stop working). I would recommend seeing if you can unroot the device then perform the update and then put the root back on if you can.

I have read both the New King James version and the English Standard version. I have noticed very trivial differences between the two. What, if any, are the major differences between the NKJV and the ESV?
Sign up

The New King James version is meant to be an update (circa 1975) of the vocabulary and grammar of the King James Version, while preserving the classic style and literary beauty of the original 1611 KJV version. 130 translators used the original King James version as well as Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts including the Dead Sea Scrolls. The translators have sought to follow the principles of translation used in the original King James Version, which the NKJV revisers call "complete equivalence" in contrast to "dynamic equivalence" used by many other modern translations. The task of updating the English of the KJV involved significant changes in word order, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. One of the most significant features of the NKJV was its abandonment of the historic second person pronouns "thou", "thee", "ye", "thy", and "thine". Verb forms were also modernized in the NKJV (for example, "speaks" rather than "speaketh").
The English Standard Version (ESV) of 2001 is a revision of the of the 1971 Revised Standard Version, which traces it's origins to William Tyndale's New Testament translation of 1525 (the first English translation of a Bible from the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, which was also a significant influence on the original KJV). Work on the ESV began over the perceived looseness of style and content of recently published English Bible translations. Many alterations designed to correct or improve the text were made to satisfy the objections of conservative Protestants who had considered the RSV to be theologically liberal, for example, changing the translation of the Hebrew almah from "young woman" (used in the RSV) to "virgin" (in the ESV) in Isaiah 7:14. The language was modernized to remove "thou" and "thee" and replace obsolete words (e.g., "jug" for "cruse").
Relative Differences: the biggest practical difference that I can see is that the ESV is newer. The RSV, upon which the ESV is based, was primarily a project to update the Bible to the English language of the current time (mid-20th century) as an improvement over the old KJV. By the time the ESV was published the New King James Version -- which also had as its goal to modernize the language -- had been published twenty years earlier. It seems to me (a Catholic who primarily uses the Challoner revision to the Douay-Rheims and the Latin Vulgate) that the both the ESV and NKJV are projects which in their history are based on the same work (Tyndale's Bible) with the same general goals (modernized language) and which have both achieved this goal with negligible qualitative differences.
One of the main differences between the ESV and NKJV is the underlying Greek texts. The ESV uses whas has been called the Critical Text whereas the NKJV uses what has been called the Received Text. The differences between these underlying greek texts is not insignificant. A discussion of the differences between them is likely not appropriate for this venue. My personal preference is for the Majority Text which is very similar to the Received Text in almost every way as the vast majority of greek manuscripts fall into this family.

Some of us actually enjoy "looking up each card individually."
The short version of the long story is that one guy had some ideas, another guy built it in a CAD program, they sent the design to Lian-Li, and Lian-Li sent back prototypes. They did an IndieGoGo; my UNDERSTANDING (which may be inaccurate) is that that was simply to have the prototypes made, and they're going to do a Kickstarter to get funding to have a production run made.WhatMeWorry wrote:Wow. That is beautiful. But I'm having trouble understanding the thread. I see references to Lian Li and Silverstone. And crowd funding. That's kinda like kickstarter, right? So will this be a limited run for just the contributors or will it be available to the general public?

Victor Skinner: Wisconsin Officials Harass Voucher Schools
November 15, 2013
The man who runs the nation's oldest voucher program thinks it should not exist.
