State lawmakers remain at odds over the latest version of the state budget passed by the House. The Democrat-controlled chamber passed a budget bill on Tuesday despite a unanimous "no" vote by Republican representatives.
Democrats say the bill puts $260 million more towards education then Governor Ernie Fletcher's original proposal, including bigger pay raises for teachers. Republicans claim that spending, along with other money allocations, will drive the state further into financial crisis.
Both parties agree tax code reform is needed to address a revenue shortfall that shows no signs of decreasing, but the Fletcher administration hasn't put a comprehensive plan forward yet.
The state Senate will take up its own budget plan by early next week. The current General Assembly session is 45 days old, with only 15 days to go.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The first means that the speaker did it alone, without any help. In the second, myself emphasises that the speaker did it, and no one else.
Literally "by myself" would mean "with myself", using a sense of by that we don't really have any more. This is illogical considered on its own, but if you think of it as an answer to the question "who was you with?" then it's easy enough to see how it would be sensible to say "I was with me" and not intend it to be taken literally. These days it would be a very well-known idiom to the point where we don't even think about how those two words come to that meaning, we just think of "by oneself" meaning oneself without company.

This lesson digs into more details about Classes—what exactly happens when you create a new instance of a class? What exactly is a reference to an instance of a class? How does passing the reference to a method affect a class? We also review overloaded methods, talk about static versus instance methods, constructors, and more.
Oops, something didn't work.
Initially i typed the methods as :
public static void passByValue(Car car)
car.Make = "BMW";
public static void passByReference(ref Car car)
car.Make = "BMW";
and I expected the first method not to make any changes to myNewCar.Make(still remain as toyota) and the second one to make myNewCar.Make as BMW, however both changed to BMW. How did that happen( I thought it was very similar to your integer example).
This is because all objects are passed by reference. Putting the ref keyword or not makes no difference in case of objects. The only reason one might consider putting in a 'ref' next to a object would be to let people know that this method might change your object. Hope that makes sense.
"This is because all objects are passed by reference. Putting the ref keyword or not makes no difference in case of objects. The only reason one might consider putting in a 'ref' next to a object would be to let people know that this method might change your object. Hope that makes sense."
Sorry I stand corrected. In case of Objects. When you do NOT use the 'ref' keyword, you pass a copy of the reference(a copy of the location of the car object in memory). When you do use the 'ref' keyword you passing a reference to the object passed in. The reason why both your functions change your car make, is because, you are making changes to the same object in memory. If you wanted a similar effect you get with value types like integer, you would have to first 'new' up the object in your passByValue method.
When 'value types' like integer, bool, float etc, are passed by VALUE they create a copy of the variable(i.e a NEW memory location). Thus it does not affect the original value of the 'value type' passed in. ok.. that was quite a mouthful :) Hope it helps.

Morgan Richards (Hermitage, Pa./Hickory H.S.), who completed her freshman season with the 49ers this past spring, reached the finals of this weekend's 1500 meter race at the USA Track and Field (USATF) Junior Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa.
Richards posted a time of 4:43.07 in the prelims, Friday, to qualify 10th among the nation's top 16 juniors.
In Saturday's 1500 meter finals, Richards ran a time of 4:42.01 to place 11th of 12 qualifiers.
Richards was the 49ers top runner at this past fall's Atlantic 10 cross country championships and she posted her best 1500 meter time of 4:35.00 at Princeton during the 2013 Outdoor Track and Field season.

So I just got my first empire Flashpoint, a 2 player job. Since it starts from the fleet, I don't really want to just ask in fleet general chat if anyone wants to do the quest with me. Is there a better way to find groups for Flashpoints? Such as a built in system that I am missing?
In my experience, being in the fleet and going "/1 [my class] LFG [name of flashpoint]" works reasonably well.
Alternately, paying attention to General and responding when someone goes "[flashpoint] group LF[number]M" for much the same reason.
EDIT: Update 1.3 introduced the Group Finder Queue, and gives out bonus commendations once a day for using it. Learn it. Use it. The more people who use it well, the better it works.
Gather in the flashpoint location and flag yourself in
With the recent addition of patch 1.3, the Group Finder is by far the easiest/most effective way to get groups together for flashpoints (both heroic and normal), story-mode Operations, and heroic quests on planets.
It's available from level 10 onwards as a tab next to the minimap. See the linked official guide for full details.
Most people post in general, so I would just do it. It's effective.
Sometimes you'll also find people waiting outside the start area for the quest, and you can invite them or vice-versa. It's particularly unambiguous if you or they have the purple LFG icon hovering above you by setting your status in the
See Andrzej's answer for a description of the new Group Finder tool, which is another option.
Posting in channels can be an effective way of finding groups (though not as ideal as an automatic queueing system or a commonly used /who system). Other games that do have these more effective systems still manage groups with this method.
That said, a piece of advice: If you are partied with no one else, but are willing to start a party, post with "LFM" instead of "LFG". People will be more likely to send you a tell if they too are looking.

like in pythagorean theorem angle comes 90 degree for the expression $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, however I know that no integer solution is possible.
There is no single angle corresponding to the relationship $a^3+b^3=c^3$.
Suppose that a triangle has sides of lengths $a,b$, and $c$ such that $a^3+b^3=c^3$. We know from the law of cosines that if $\theta$ is the angle opposite the side of length $c$, then $c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos\theta$, so
Now let's look at just a few examples. If $a=b=1$, then $c=\sqrt[3]2$, and $$\cos\theta=\frac{2-2^{2/3}}2\approx0.20630\;.$$
If $a=1$ and $b=2$, then $c=\sqrt[3]9$, and $$\cos\theta=\frac{5-9^{2/3}}4\approx0.16831\;.$$
If $a=1$ and $b=3$, then $c=\sqrt[3]{28}$, and $$\cos\theta=\frac{10-28^{2/3}}6\approx0.12985\;.$$
As you can see, these values of $\cos\theta$ are all different, so the angles themselves are also different.
And here's a plot of the angle:
The minimum angle seems to be at $a = b$, where
$$\cos\theta = 1 - \frac{1}{2^{1/3}}$$
Expanding on Brian M. Scott's answer, since $\cos\theta=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$ and $c^3 = a^3+b^3$, $\cos\theta=\frac{a^2+b^2-(a^3+b^3)^{2/3}}{2ab} = \frac{1+(b/a)^2-(1+(b/a)^3)^{2/3}}{2} =\frac{1+r^2-(1+r^3)^{2/3}}{2} $ where $r = b/a$.
The derivative of the numerator is $2r-(2/3)(3r^2)(1+r^3)^{-1/3} = 2r - 2r^2(1+r^3)^{-1/3}$ which is never 0 (else $(1+r^3)^{1/3} = r$) so is always positive (since its value at 1 is $2-2/2^{1/3} > 0$).
For large r, $(1+r^3)^{2/3} = r^2 (1+r^{-3})^{2/3} \approx r^2(1 + (2/3)r^{-3}) = r^2 + 2/(3r) $ so $\cos\theta \approx \frac{1+r^2 - (r^2 + 2/(3r))}{2} = \frac{1-2/(3r)}{2} $ which tends to 1/2 for large $r$.
This may have an error, since I would expect it to go to 1, but I have to go now, so this this is it.
You do get slightly different answers for the Pythagorean Theorem on the surface of a sphere of radius $1,$ or the hyperbolic plane of curvature $-1.$ On the sphere, a right triangle with geodesic lengths of legs $a,b$ and hypotenuse $c$ obeys $$ \cos c = \cos a \; \cos b, $$ while in the hyperbolic plane with curvature $-1$ it becomes $$ \cosh c = \cosh a \; \cosh b. $$ In both cases, if you write out the functions as power series in $a,b,c,$ you see that the limit as $a,b,c$ all shrink to nearly $0$ is the traditional Pythagorean Theorem.

Suppose I want to pre-drill for, say, a 5/16 screw. How do I determine the correct drill bit diameter?
Here are some charts from Bolt Depot. Bolt Depot is a handy resource, and has lots of information about all different types of fasteners.
Pilot hole size:
Wood Screw Diameter:
****Major thread diameter** is measured on the outside of the threads.*
A real simple technique I use is to hold up the drill bit and the screw. Hold the shaft of the drill bit up in front of the screw. You should only be able to see the threads of the screw (and maybe a bit of the screw). If you can't see the threads the drill bit is too big. If you can see too much of the screw, the bit is too small.
It depends on if you want it to be loose or not. If you want it to be very loose (in the case of a bolt where you're going to have washers on both sides and a nut on the far side threads, then feel free to upsize by a fraction -- in this case, 6/16 or 3/8. If you're using a screw where you want the threads to be firmly bedded, use the smallest drill bit you have in a soft material like wood -- and in harder substances like metal or concrete, a drill bit that is one fraction lower (e.g. 4/16" or 1/4" in this case).
Here is my chart drawn up from over 30yrs onsite experience... (sorry its in millimetres for those stateside!)
More detail here screws explained chart. (NB based on UK/EU experience)
Here is an option for metric Stainless self tapping screws This is ideal as it show the different pilot diameters needed for differing thickness of sheetmetal and also steel vs aluminium

Egypt Clears Protesters After Deadly Mideast Clashes
Egyptian police on Saturday cleared out protesters who have been clashing with security forces for the past four days near the U.S. Embassy, as most cities around the Muslim world reported calm a day after at least six people were killed in a wave of angry protests over an anti-Islam film.
Anti-American demonstrations reached a crescendo the previous day, with protests spreading to more than 20 countries across the Islamic world, sparked by anger over a film produced in the U.S. denigrating the Prophet Muhammad
Photos: Anti-U.S. Protests Saturday
Map: Middle East Unrest
Timeline: Past Attacks
Past attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates around the world.
Rallies in the majority of countries were peaceful if vehement, but multiple deadly skirmishes erupted. Clashes in Cairo on Friday brought the first Egyptian to be killed in Tahrir Square protests since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was elected and took office this summer. Also on Friday, two demonstrators died in Sudan, two died in Tunisia and another was killed in Lebanon. Protesters in Sudan and Tunisia tried to storm Western embassies, an American fast-food restaurant was set ablaze in Lebanon.
Suspected Islamic militants also stormed a base of an international peacekeeping force near the Gaza-Israel border, wounding four officers, according to a senior official with the force. Militants armed with automatic weapons broke into the base Friday, set fire to vehicles and clashed with the force inside, the official said. The bases houses around 1,500 multinational troops, part of a force put in place under the 1979 peace accord between Egypt and Israel.
Also Saturday, the U.S. said that a platoon of Marines that had been dispatched to Sudan had been turned around before reaching Khartoum.
The U.S. on Friday had decided to send a Marine Fleet Anti-terrorism Support Team to Sudan to reinforce the embassy. Protestors in Khartoum have staged violent protests outside the U.S., British and German embassies.
The Sudan government didn't agree to allow the Marines to enter the country, forcing the FAST platoon to turn around while airborne, according to U.S. officials. Sudan would have been the third country this week, after Yemen and Libya, to receive one of the 50-strong teams of Marines this week.
The U.S. State Department announced it was continuing to monitor the situation, and reminded the Sudan government of their treaty obligation to protect the embassy. Other officials said the State Department would reinforce secuity at the embassy through other means.
The State Department ordered the departure of all family members and nonessential U.S. government personnel from posts in Sudan and Tunisia and issued travel warnings to the two countries due to security concerns over anti-American violence.
The department on Saturday said that while Sudan's government has taken steps to limit the activities of terrorist groups, some remain there and have threatened to attack Western interests. The terrorist threat level remains critical.
Sudan Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Karti told the official Sudanese news agency, that the additional security wasn't necessary. "Sudan is able to protect the diplomatic missions in Khartoum and the state is committed to protecting its guests in the diplomatic corps," he said, according to the news agency.
The furor across the Middle East, coming just three days after an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other workers, underscored Washington's diminished ability to influence a region where a number of governments newly elected during the so-called Arab Spring have minimal control over their restive populations.
In many cases, the political leaders and security forces within these new governments have proved unwilling, or incapable, of challenging the protesters and radical Islamist groups that have gained greater license to take to the streets.
U.S. officials worked to dampen the outrage, and pointed to several areas where U.S. diplomatic pressure seemed to have contained some demonstrations. The White House praised Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and Libya's leadership for taking steps to restore order after protests on Wednesday in which a mob overran the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and the attack in Libya.
On Saturday, security forces erected a concrete wall blocking the main street leading to the embassy in Cairo after finally dispersing several hundred youths who had been battling with police, trying to get to the building. They also cleared nearby Tahrir Square where protests were being held.
A 36-year-old died from wounds from rubber bullets near the embassy the previous day, his family and doctors at a Cairo hospital said. Weeping relatives at the hospital held his 25-day-old daughter, named Ganna, or "Heaven."
The only report Saturday of violence linked to the film came from Australia, where riot police clashed with about 200 protesters at the U.S. Consulate in Sydney. Protesters, chanting "Obama, Obama, we love Osama" and waving placards reading "Behead all those who insult the Prophet" threw glass bottles and other projectiles at police, who used pepper spray against the protesters. Further confrontations took place later near a park in the city center.
"This kind of conduct has got no place on the streets of our country," Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard told reporters Sunday. She added that seeing children carrying placards calling for the killing of others were particularly disturbing.
"This is not the Australian way," she said.
Six men were charged with a range of offenses including possession of a weapon, rioting, and animal cruelty, the New South Wales police said Sunday, while a seventh was awaiting charges. A 15-year-old boy was cautioned for offensive behavior.
Two policemen were taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the skirmish, but have since been released. Four other officers were injured and treated at the scene, while two protesters were taken to a hospital after they were bitten by police dogs.
The anger was sparked by a clip produced in the United States that showed the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer, a homosexual and a madman. A full version of the film, "Innocence of Muslims," hasn't been confirmed to exist, but a 14-minute online excerpt of the movie has been posted online and dubbed into Arabic. It has been described by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as "an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with."
President Barack Obama said Washington would "stand fast" against attacks on U.S. embassies around the world. He spoke at a somber ceremony paying tribute to four Americans—including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens—killed Tuesday when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was stormed by militants. The attackers are suspected of using protests of the anti-Muslim film to stage an assault on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In the Benghazi attack, U.S. officials are investigating indications that a local group of Libyan militants held a series of conversations Tuesday with al Qaeda extremists about the assault that day, in the first sign of possible coordination in the attack between local fighters and the global terrorist movement
Several current and former officials identified the extremists as members of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, an al Qaeda branch in North Africa known as AQIM. The officials said the AQIM leaders were communicating with members of Ansar al-Sharia, a local group of Libyan militants, after seeing violent anti-U.S. protests breaking out in Cairo. Officials cautioned Friday that the investigation was still under way.

Vaginal yeast infections are common in women. Common symptoms include:
- Extreme itching in the vaginal area
- Soreness and redness in the vaginal area
- White, clumpy vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese
- Painful intercourse
But men can get a yeast infection, too. This is more likely in men who are not circumcised.
Symptoms in men include:
It is important to get treated for a genital yeast infection. You may pass the infection back and forth to a sexual partner.
Several over-the-counter treatments for yeast infections are available. They can be used by both men and women. They come as a cream or suppository that you place inside the vagina or put on the penis. Research doesn't show that one works better than another.
If this is the first time you have had a vaginal yeast infection, or you do not get them very often, your doctor may recommend a single, 150-milligram dose of Diflucan (fluconazole).
Always make sure you are properly diagnosed before trying to treat yourself at home.
If the infection continues or returns often, you may need anti-fungal medicine every day for 10 to 14 days, and then once a week for six months.
Boric acid capsules may also be recommended for up to two weeks.
If you get frequent yeast infections, your doctor may need to investigate why you are having them. The doctor may suggest probiotics to prevent future infections. Probiotics are healthy bacteria similar to those that naturally occur in the intestines. They may be found in supplements, yogurts, and some other foods.

As to the video, Hess and Guthrie make an interesting combination. Thanks for putting these up, Nic.
Very good video. Interesting that Scott mentions SL4 should be more appropriate for business applications. A sign that it's matured enough to consider bringing back to the table here. We attempted with SL2 and couldn't get what we needed out of it cleanly enough to satisfy project requirements.

The Relentless Reviser
New York
Henri Matisse's modernism, despite the impassioned palettes, rudimentary forms and openly sensual subjects that led critics to describe him as one of the "wild beasts" at the 1905 Salon d'Automne, was anything but arbitrary. He systematically studied the components of color, line and form that made up his audacious new style "to explore," as he explained, how such properties "could be combined without diminishing the eloquence of any of them." As beautifully exhibited in the show now on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the seeming spontaneity central to Matisse's art was carefully wrought from a lifelong habit of working in pairs and in clusters of closely related images—they allowed him to explore his options, to gauge his progress and, as he described, "to push further and deeper into true painting."
"Matisse: In Search of True Painting," organized by Rebecca Rabinow, a curator of modern and contemporary art at the Met, and Dorthe Aagesen of the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, includes more than 50 paintings, a handful of drawings, and related documentary photographs. They are arranged chronologically and represent almost every phase of Matisse's career and argue definitively for the primacy of serial production in his art. Although other early-20th-century artists, such as Picasso, frequently repeated subjects and motifs, only Matisse in this period used his paired and serial paintings as part of an intensely analytical practice to illuminate the potentials—and perils—inherent in his new art. At times, as in the increasingly reductive views he painted in 1920 of the beach at L'Etretat, France, Matisse's provocative, modernist take on a subject long favored by French painters left some of his critics aghast. His cautious deliberations, however, as manifested throughout this show, would yield some of the most radical and beautiful paintings of his era.
Like generations of artists before him, Matisse, as a student in Paris in the 1890s, copied the Old Masters to absorb the legacy of the past; in the following decade, he began, in a similar fashion, to study the work of contemporary artists. The exhibition opens with a pair of still-lifes of identical size from 1899 that translate the same table-top motif into competing pictorial languages. One, employing broad swaths of color and patches of bare canvas, invokes the art of Paul Cézanne; the other, marked by dense passages of brilliant, broken strokes, deftly considers Paul Signac's take on Neo-Impressionism. An adjoining wall, which holds two paintings from 1904—"The Gulf of Saint-Tropez" and the related but far more lyrical "Luxe, calme, et volupté," again indebted to Signac—suggests that the roots of the sensuous modern idyll Matisse would claim as his own are to be found in his deeply analytical approach.
Matisse: In Search Of True Painting
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Through March 17
As is evident in the room to follow, Matisse turned an equally critical eye on his own work in paintings from this period that pushed his art to a radical new stance. In 1906 in the southern French village of Collioure, he painted "Young Sailor I," a stunning portrait from life of a boyish-looking figure sitting sullenly on a straight-backed chair and staring out at us. Its rugged, sketchlike paint surface, applied over a pencil underdrawing, again recalled Cézanne. But when paired, as it is here, with Matisse's second, more synthetic version, the planar, curving rhythms and masklike face of "Young Sailor II" reveal the abstract formal implications Matisse discovered in the earlier work, and suggest the bold autonomy the artist enjoyed at a distance from his subject and precursor. Although Matisse initially claimed that the second canvas had been painted by the local postman (and would never show the two works together), the paintings' felicitous juxtaposition here suggests in microcosm the stages of fearless experimentation and wary restraint that marked his method in equal measure.
In the same gallery, a long wall reunites his large "Le Luxe I," a willfully naive image of nudes in a loosely painted landscape which he exhibited at the 1907 Salon d'Automne as an esquisse (or sketch); an evocative charcoal drawing after it on a similar scale, probably done as an aide-de-memoire when the first work was acquired by Sarah and Michael Stein; and the culminative and equally immense "Le Luxe II" of 1907-08, a canvas marked by simplified, linear arabesques and unmodulated planes of color. When seen in unison, the monumental triad (each measuring almost 7 feet by 4½ feet) reveals Matisse's process at the very moment the academic notions of "sketch" and "finish" were being redefined. Scholars have long suggested that the final work, which was executed in distemper—a water-soluble substance that gives it a matte effect—reflects the influence of 19th-century academic painting, and even more so the memory of early Renaissance frescoes Matisse had seen earlier that summer in Tuscany. The reductive and strangely spartan sensuality of "Le Luxe II," laid out so eloquently in the exhibition, shows the artist consciously confronting not only his own sequential process but the surfeit of sources that informed his strikingly original art.
A subsequent room in the exhibition invites us into Matisse's Parisian studio to consider paintings that date over the course of a decade or more and, as a group, suggest the artist's recurring and increasingly ruthless attempts to uncover a subject's "essential qualities." Four canvases from the years 1900 to 1914 depict the Seine and the facade of Notre Dame as seen from his windows at 19 quai Saint-Michel; in them, he gradually suppresses the distractions of the city and passersby and also his earlier, emphatic paint strokes, to reveal the motif's underlying formal scaffolding. The last painting on the wall, Matisse's nearly abstract "Notre Dame" (1914, the Museum of Modern Art), is a thinly painted and rigorously schematic reconstruction of the shared subject, almost unrecognizable without its companions. The cathedral's massive towers, reduced to their barest essentials, float in a sea of blue and are framed by a web of thrusting lines that allude to the river, the city streets and the artist's studio window. The paired paintings of the "Interior with Goldfish" and "Goldfish and Palette," hanging nearby and both also dating to 1914, suggest the motifs to be found within the artist's studio could be just as compelling.
As explored in the 2010 MoMA exhibition "Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913-1917," his endlessly reworked canvases from around the time of World War I record the artist's preoccupation with serial painting in a different sense: Sequential states of a subject's final form can be discovered in their layered, sedimental strata. But in the decades that followed, and, as the current show's curators suggest, in response to his waning postwar reputation, Matisse commissioned photographers to record the successive stages and increasingly radical decisions behind several major works. An entire room in the exhibition is given over to his magnificent "The Large Blue Dress" (1937), a boldly flattened painting of a woman lost in thought and posed in a brilliant plane of etched, symmetrical patterns. Ten small photographs, installed just below the canvas, allow the viewer to watch it evolve from naturalistic sketch to stylized image, and to appreciate the methodical calculations that shaped its deliberately simplistic form.
By 1945, when Matisse again enjoyed critical acclaim, such photographs had become crucial to his public persona. One of the final rooms in the show re-creates part of a historic exhibition that year at the Galerie Maeght in Paris, where the artist displayed his new works surrounded by numerous photographs that documented the phases of their creation. It underscored to viewers then, as it does in the current show, that his process had become as important to Matisse as his painting.

Some area residents who plan to attend Eastern Gateway Community College soon will have access to a new option for scholarships, thanks to a campaign being conducted by an area business and its owner.
Scot Campbell, co-owner of M&M True Value Hardwar on Sunset Boulevard in Steubenville's West End, has launched a drive through the EGCC Foundation that aims to bankroll a scholarship fund.
A 1980 graduate of then-Jefferson Community College, Campbell, the foundation president, has a goal of establishing 50 $5,000 scholarships in time for the school's 50th anniversary, which is coming up in about five years. The foundation feels that goal can be reached by asking businesses, organizations or individuals who to contribute $1,100 a year for five years. Of that amount, $1,000 will go toward the perpetual scholarship fund, with the remaining $100 going to scholarships in the following year.
Campbell and his co-owner, Tom Birney, are putting their money where their thoughts are, making a contribution to the foundation and selling commemorative M&M mugs at the store for $10 each. Proceeds from the sale of the mugs will go straight to the foundation, which is under the interim direction of Rich Ranallo.
We're not surprised Campbell, long a proponent of higher education in general and EGCC in particular, is willing to step up to help area students. He and Birney employ between three and eight community college students at any time, offering a flexible schedule that allows them to attend classes and work toward the goal of obtaining their degrees.
The scholarship fund will allow area residents who might need a little help to attend EGCC. That's good for the students, good for the school and good for the community, which will surely benefit from an educated work force.

I'm looking to learn 10-15 Brazilian songs, to build a basic repertoire of music which people of Brazilian descent are likely to recognize. Which songs would you recommend I look at/learn?
I'm looking to build a basic repertoire of Brazilian music. Which songs would you recommend I start with?
I think Antonio Carlos Jobim tunes (or more generally Bossa Novas) are fairly good point to start. I would start with:
Hope other answers will complete Your 10-15 song list :)
The ones you can't miss were already mentioned: Aquarela do Brasil (Watercolor of Brazil) and Garota de Ipanema (Girl From Ipanema). The first one is also known as just "Brazil" or "Brazil Theme" worldwide, so it's probably the song people most associate with Brazil.
Having said that, most of the songs people will recognize are from the genres bossa nova, choro and samba. You should look at the "hits" of composers like Tom Jobim (Antonio Carlos Jobim), João Gilberto, Baden Powell, Pixinguinha, Valdir Azevedo and interpreter Elis Regina. Some of my personal favorites include:
The list could go on forever, but do explore the work of these artists and you will end up with dozens of songs in no time.
@RafaelAlmeida, @HubertCzerski and @blueberryfields answers and its comments have already a nice list of musics.
But if you want some musics currently more popular, I recommend you to choose some music from following artists:

Pick up Bosch's new Litheon PS20-2 10.8-volt lithium-ion Pocket Driver and you'll immediately start looking for ways to use it–or should I say, excuses. From the way this compact driver form-fits into your hand to the soft-grip handle and its perfect balance, this tool will quickly earn its way into your starting lineup.
This is a perfect example of lithium-ion (LI) battery technology at work, bringing new power to lighter-weight cordless tools. And while a lot of companies, Bosch included, are also using LI batteries for heavier workloads, the Pocket Driver is in a class of its own.
Switch out hex-shank bits and drivers easily with this quick-change collar.
Credit: Photo: DOT FOR DOT, Inc.
Weighing-in at less than 2 pounds and measuring 6-1/2 inches long, this tool will become an electrician's best friend, an HVAC installer's right hand, and a cabinet installer's trusted ally, plus a regular all-around handy tool everyone will want to borrow.
With 80 inch-pounds of torque and a no-load speed maxing out at just 400 rpm, the Pocket Driver isn't going to be replacing your screwgun or high-speed drill/driver, but it's a serious tool that isn't afraid of hard work.
I charged up the two LI batteries that come with the Pocket Driver and went to work. Of course, a compact tool that fits so well in your tool pouch and in your hand will be useful for the obvious small drilling and driving tasks anyone faces, especially trade contractors involved in setting hangers, installing breakers and boxes, and driving self-tapping metal screws into ductwork (although you might want to stick with higher-rpm tools for this). And these are at the core of Bosch's intentions for this tool. Working around fixtures, face plates, and HVAC equipment cabinets are naturals for this tool.
But carpenters will be surprised how much power it has, too. I know I was. Even though the Pocket Driver is a lot slower than larger cordless drill/drivers that can generate 1,200 to 1,500 no-load rpm, this tool's size and balance make up for that, especially in tight spots. The tool will fully drive (read, bury) a kitchen-load of 1/4-by-4-inch cabinet screws, so be careful to set the 10-point clutch properly so you don't over-drive through the back of a cabinet. Actually, it's an 11-point clutch, with a "Max" setting to take seriously.
In addition to using the Pocket Driver to hang and set cabinets, I also fine-tuned the cabinet doors without missing a beat. I've always used an 18-volt drill/driver for that, but the Pocket Driver seemed more at home inside a cabinet carcass than its larger cousins, and it's rare to find power and finesse in one tool.
This tool is right on target, even if its work light misses a bit.
As far as driving 100 3-inch screws, as the company claims, we maxed-out at driving 75 screws into softwood on one charge, even allowing the battery 15- to 20-minute "rest" periods in between batches of 25 screws. Features
Quick-Change Chuck. I love the category that is building around compact cordless tools, especially with the quick-change collared chucks that make switching from drill to driver really easy. The Pocket Driver has a pull-collar chuck that receives 1/4-inch hex-shank bits and driver adapters that works one-handed if you need it; holding the tool pointing up, drop the bit down into the collar and then pull the collar up to let the bit drop all the way into position. Discharging the bit requires just one hand–and gravity.
Trigger and Controls. The handle on this tool seemed molded to my hand, and gripping it naturally and comfortably I found my trigger finger always in perfect position. The variable-speed motor is very responsive to the trigger. And the forward/reverse switch was easy to reach without changing my grip, although people with smaller hands might have to shift a little to reach it.
The clutch adjustment moved easily into each detent and stayed there during use. And the battery replacement action leaves nothing to be desired.
Work Light. The only thing that slightly misses on this great tool–literally–is the LED work light located on the front end of the body beneath the chuck. Directed lighting built into tools is a pretty good idea, but in this case the chuck extending out above the light actually shades the work point a bit, reducing the light's effectiveness. You still get some light in the area of the drill or driver, especially the farther out you are from your work, like when you're starting to drive a long screw, but then the work point becomes eclipsed by the shadow of the tool. I like lights on tools, but I am still a strong proponent of setting up well-lit areas to do your best work.
Warranty and Accessories. The PS20 is covered by Bosch's three-year ProVantage warranty, and comes standard with two screwdriver bits, two 10.8-volt lithium-ion batteries, a 30-minute charger, and a nice soft case with Velcro hold-downs.

With over 40,000 students, NYU's campus buildings are spread throughout New York City, from midtown Manhattan to the heart of Greenwich Village, and even downtown Brooklyn. One of the United State's most creative and energetic cities, New York City's historic neighborhoods have attracted generations of writers, musicians, artists, and intellectuals.
Beyond the the campus, New York City becomes an extension of the University's campus. With institutes and centers on the Upper East Side and academic buildings down in the Financial District, getting from place to place at NYU requires a little assistance.
Luckily, there are a lot of options available to get around New York City. NYU Transportation services run between the Washington Square campus and NYU residence halls. The MTA runs the subway, train and bus systems that will get you where you need to go.
If all else fails, head over to Broadway to catch a cab downtown (yellow cabs only, please) or over to Sixth Avenue to catch one going uptown.
NYU has a University box office that is dedicated to serving the needs of students. See information about Ticket Central on their Web site www.nyu.edu/ticketcentral.

(212) 307-7171
Madison Square Garden
(212) 465-6741
There are limited lodging options in the immediate NYU area, so you may want to consider staying further uptown, or even outside of the city.

Save 75% on Fallout: New Vegas on Steam for $4.99
6 Comments add a comment
$5 for an awesome FPS-RPG you can easily spend 50+ hours on is an absolute steal. In terms of amount of entertainment for the dollar games like this on deals like this are nigh impossible to beat.
One of the greatest games ever made. Could keep you busy for 100 hours if you let it.
@lordebon: Is it worth it without the DLC? There's maybe 6 of 'em, 4 at $2.49, half the price of the game. Is it fun without the DLC (or any better than the others?) or should I just hold out for a GOTY edition next year? I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer, I guess. I loved Fallout 3
@brad3326: Haven't played the DLC, honestly. It's usually a mixed bag (And to my knowledge still is for F:NV) with some DLC being decent and others being sort of in the "Why Bother" category. In my experience (with F3 DLC) some are decent and add to the game: e.g., Broken Steel, which ret-con'd the ending and rightfully opened things up. And then some are just mediocre or just plain meh. Perhaps the biggest thing I dislike is how self-contained they often are... for being masters of the open-world game, their DLC so often comes in its own little self-contained world.
If you've got the time to play it, I'd say at $5 it's worth taking the jump. A quick look at the DLC on metacritic shows a mixed bag (60s to low 70s), so for DLC I'd say pick and choose what you want (if you want any at all).
I've played a bunch of the dlc and it's meh. The game is absolutely fantastic by itself - seriously more like a whole series of games in one. I never play games more than once and I've started several games on this - it just keeps going and going.
@lordebon: Old World Blues DLC is a must have the others are garbage. Head over to a MOD website to find oodles of goodies for free

I'm being asked to find an alternate proof for the one commonly given for Liouville's Theorem in complex analysis by evaluating the following given an entire function $f$, and two distinct, arbitrary complex numbers $a$ and $b$: $$\lim_{R\to\infty}\oint_{|z|=R} {f(z)\over(z-a)(z-b)} dz $$
What I've done so far is I've tried to apply the cauchy integral formula, since there are two singularities in the integrand, which will fall in the contour for $R$ approaches infinity. So I got:
$$2{\pi}i\biggl({f(a)\over a-b}+{f(b)\over b-a}\biggr)$$
Which equals $$2{\pi}i\biggl({f(a)-f(b)\over a-b}\biggr)$$
and I got stuck here I don't quite see how I can get from this, plus $f(z)$ being bounded and analytic, that can tell me that $f(z)$ is a constant function. Ugh, the more well known proof is so much simpler -.- Any suggestions/hints? Am I at least on the right track?

KILLEEN (October 11, 2012)—Fort Hood soldier David Michael Vega, 28, who's wanted in a violent attack on Aug. 17 in which a Killeen woman was stabbed to death and her young son was injured, was in custody Thursday evening in Turlock, Calif.,
Vega was arrested early Thursday morning after a Turlock police officer spotted a suspicious gold Jeep Cherokee in a motel parking lot whose license plate turned out to have been stolen from another vehicle.
The officer checked the Jeep's vehicle identification number and determined Vega was the owner and that the soldier was wanted for murder.
Police confirmed Vega was inside a room at the motel and a Tactical Response Team was deployed.
Other guests were evacuated, but Vega surrendered without incident at 6 a.m. CDT Thursday, Killeen police said.
He was held in the Stanislaus County Jail in Modesto, Calif., Thursday evening.
Police had been looking for Vega since early in the morning on Aug. 17 when officers were sent to a home in the 2400 block of Haven after a jogger and a neighbor reported hearing a woman scream.
The jogger went to a neighbor's house for help and the two tried to get the victim to come to the door, but could not.
While the two were knocking on the door, a light inside the house came on and they saw a man inside whom they later described to police.
When officers arrived they began searching the area and as they looked through the windows of the house they saw Danielle Acosta-Guerrero, 30, lying on the floor.
Officers forced entry to the home and called Killeen Fire Department EMS.
Paramedics began performing CPR on the victim and transported her to a local hospital, where a short time later she was pronounced dead.
Her 6-year-old son suffered what police said were non-life-threatening injuries in the attack.
Vega fled from the residence just before officers arrived and had been on the run since then, police said.

Trojan Trio Honored by SAC, Men's Soccer Projected FifthAugust 19, 2014
ROCK HILL, S.C. – With the start of the 2014 season quickly approaching, Anderson University men's soccer placed three on the annual South Atlantic Conference All-Conference Teams, as juniors Lars Zimmerman and Andre Carle were picked to the first team, while sophomore Alex Delpy was selected to the second team, announced by the league office on Tuesday.
To go along with the preseason teams, the SAC also announced its annual preseason poll, which slotted AU fifth with 77 points.
After seeing Zimmerman play up front for the Trojans during the 2012 season, the club's captain was moved to the backline where his goal total decreased, but his contribution to the team remained. Despite being installed into the last line of defense, the Malente, Germany native scored twice during the 2013 season, while handing out an assist.
For his efforts a year ago, Zimmerman, who was named to the Preseason All-SAC First Team for the second straight season, was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team, while also being picked to the Postseason All-SAC First Team, the Daktronics All-Southeast Region First Team, the National Soccer Coaches of America Association (NSCAA) All-Southeast Second Team and was a member of the SAC All-Tournament team after leading the Trojans to their fourth straight appearance in the SAC Tournament championship.
Joining Zimmerman on the first team was the only other Trojan to receive postseason honors a season ago in Carle. The forward paced the AU attack with 12 goals in 2013, while notching a team-high 27 shots on goal. The Normanhurst, Australia native scored four game-winning goals in his first season with the Black and Gold and was named to the Postseason All-SAC Second Team while matching Zimmerman's NSCAA honor with a spot on the third team.
Delpy earns his first conference honor after starting in all 22 matches along the backline a season ago. The Pocking, Germany native handed out three assists in 2013, while tying for eighth on the squad with seven shots on goal. Delpy was a main contributor to Anderson's six shutouts last year, as the Trojans outshot their opponents 304-273 (+31).
In the preseason poll, Carson-Newman, the national runner-up from a season ago, was picked to win the conference with 114 total points and five first-place votes. Wingate, which finished second, closely followed with 111 points and six first-place votes. Queens captured the final first-place vote was slotted third with 105 points, slotting the Royals third.
Lincoln Memorial finished just ahead of the Trojans with 86 points, while Anderson beat out Coker for fifth-place, as the Cobras landed sixth with 60 points. Lenoir-Rhyne grabbed 58 points and finished seventh, while Mars Hill came in eighth with 56 points.
Catawba (48 points), Tusculum (42), Newberry (19) and Brevard (16) rounded out this season's poll, as the bottom-four teams in the final standings would miss this year's conference tournament.
Anderson begins its regular season in Florida when it travels to Rollins on Sept. 4 and Flagler on Sept. 6. After beginning SAC play on Sept. 13 at Catawba, the Trojans open their home schedule on Sept. 17 when they hosts archrival Erskine. That match at Trojan Stadium is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Can Sencha Command be used to build an Architect application?
I've seen a couple of posts on this topic but all seem focused on a user specific problem.
I would like to ask the general question:
Can Sencha Command be used to build an Architect application?
From my initial investigation the answer would seem to be no.
Could anyone provide some clarity on this and if the answer is yes (via a clean out of the box solution or otherwise) provide a few steps on how this is achievable.
Many thanks,
Brett Hannah
FYI at this time the current versions are Architect: v2.10 Build 676 and Sencha Command v18.104.22.168
26 Nov 2012 7:24 AM #2
this ability is only built into Architect for touch 2.1+ if you're using touch 2.0.x then it's still possible you simply need to follow the instructions here - http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/command
if by build you mean "sencha compile" then you'll need to make one slight modification which can be found here - http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...md-v3&p=901360

Very possible from the command line. 4.2 will have added support and be Sencha Cmd ready and thus we will add the Cmd setup to those projects.
We'll also make upgrading from 4.0,4.1 to 4.2 a breeze by updating config names and handlers. We have a whole system based on Esprima in place for Architect 2.2Phil Strong
14 Mar 2013 12:47 AM #5
Now Extjs 4.2 and Sencha Architect 2.2 are released. I'm having the same question. I have a couple of projects created by SA. So is there anything that Sencha command can do for these projects? And also I found a build button on the SA 2.2 toolbar. It seems nothing happened when I clicked that button.
14 Mar 2013 8:06 AM #6
The "Build" button will essentially open all of your instances which have yet to be loaded and save them generating their code on disk. The problem is that with large projects, if you only had metadata checked in you need a way to generate the code on disk. We considered naming this "Generate" and might change it down the line to make it more intuitive.Aaron Conran
15 Mar 2013 7:27 AM #7
We found some issues with Architect projects and Cmd 3.1 which is why that version of Cmd has yet to be released out of beta. Expect an update to Architect and Cmd in the next few days.
Cmd 3.0.* should continue to work if you follow instructions here -- http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...-Sencha-Cmd-v3Phil Strong
26 Mar 2013 3:55 PM #8
Ok, I now have Architect 2.2 and Cmd 3.1 but I do not understand the "build" button.
From Aaron's comments above I would think that the "build" button has no relation to the "sencha app build" in Cmd.
If I'm guessing right, I need to push the "build" button instead of the "save" button and then go to terminal and do "sencha app build" also. If this is the case then "build" seems inappropriate for that button.
If I have all my code generated and stored in git, then the "save" button might be enough by just saving the changes?
Am I seeing this correctly?
27 Mar 2013 12:10 PM #9
You have it completely correct. Yes Build button does seem inappropriate and we had internal debates on this.
Build button: Does a full load of the project and then saves all changes to metadata and generates javascript output in the app directory
Save button: Saves all changes to metadata and generates javascript for those components that are loaded placing output in the app directoryPhil Strong

I'm looking to make some microtonal music (19/22 tone equal temperament). I want to produce it with midi. Timidity++ used to be able to produce a WAV file from a microtonal tuned .MID file, but it is no longer developed and does not run on modern systems. Is there any free software that can do it? Scala seems like an option, but is a major pain on a Mac.
Microtonal is tricky on MIDI because it separates the space between half-tones into 128 equal notes. I'm surprised any normal MIDI player won't integrate pitch bend as a microtonal parameter - is that how you are doing it?
I've been trying to work on a continuous pitch controller in MIDI. the issue is that depending on the MIDI player, the 0-128 can send the pitch up/down a whole step (like most pitch wheels do) or up/down a whole octave. It seems as though this isn't actually standardized on software synthesizers.
PureData should be able to work with midi on any level you want it to. You can find it for free at http://puredata.info/. It's a bit tricky to get used to, though.
If you're not completely bend on using MIDI, I would recommend OSC. It's a protocol like MIDI, but the interval between half-notes can be split up with as much precision as you want. Not all programs support OSC though… it would be good to check other DAWs/synthesizers you may want to eventually use.
I found Mutabor which kind of does what I want. Also, there is a Python module called music21 that seems to do something of what I want. Not yet satisfied. It is sad these things are not well developed yet, given how long there has been interest...
Check out alt-tuner, new microtonal software. It's not free, but it's very easy to use and runs on both PCs and macs: http://www.tallkite.com/alt-tuner.html

Your baby's neck is growing, and he's now looking more and more like a human being. Internally, the thyroid gland first develops at the base of the tongue but gradually moves down to lie in the neck, overlying the trachea (windpipe). The thyroid gland is producing the hormone thyroxine, using iodine transported from your body across the placenta. The baby's kidneys are starting to function. The nephrons in the kidneys are lengthening and maturing: these essential units enable the kidney to function by filtering the blood and eliminating waste from the body.
New nephrons will be produced up until the 37th week and the kidneys continue to lengthen by around 1 mm a week during the entire pregnancy.
This line is called the linea nigra, which occurs due to changes in skin pigmentation. It's extremely common, affecting 90 percent of all pregnant women in some way or another, and is often more noticeable if you are darker skinned.
You may also notice a darkening of the skin around your nipples and a darkening of freckles, moles, or birthmarks. A few women may also experience brown patches on their face called chloasma or the "mask of pregnancy" (see ... Doctor and Increased pigmentation). These changes are caused by the extra amounts of the hormone estrogen during pregnancy, which affects the melanin-producing cells of the skin-these cells produce the pigment that darkens the skin. These color changes are normal and will usually fade once the baby is born.
The majority of employers are supportive when they find out an employee is pregnant, and hopefully this will be the case for you. However, should a problem arise, there is employment law in place to protect pregnant women:

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This is pretty project-dependent. Is this a project I'm starting with the intent of selling, or a project for a specific customer? Also, what constitutes "starting"? Is that before or after requirements gathering? A rough list, though:
I'm just going to answer this part of the question, because it's the only part I could relate to:
No. I seriously doubt that could even work... How could someone research new frameworks in just one day, before each project, and learn something relevant? It just doesn't happen that way. Instead, I spend parts of my day, every day, researching different technology (not only new frameworks). Research it's not something I do when I need to. It's something I do all the time and that's already there when I need it to be there. Programming is fun, that's why I am in this business. You can't keep me from trying out different stuff every day.
Does a writer spend a day collecting ideas before starting a new book?

Is it halachically permissible to gamble at a casino?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

You can try one of these shiurim.
Firstly, ask your rabbi. It may very well be the kind of place a good Jewish boy (or girl?) just shouldn't be hanging out. Leaving aside the danger of losing a lot of money very quickly. There may even be Chilul Hashem concerns. The Aruch HaShulchan refers to gambling as a blight that has destroyed many lives. I don't think anyone would say he's exaggerating.
But as far as the gambling aspect per se, the Gemara (Sanhedrin 24b) offers two possible reasons why gamblers aren't kosher witnesses. One reason applies only to people who gamble for a living, which isn't your question here. The other reason is that it's sort of "theft", as the people who agree to place their bets don't really think they'll lose. (The Rambam has a slightly different understanding, but that's for another time.)
Thus the Gemara's case seems to be where people are gambling their money against each other. When going to a casino, you're betting against "the house." It would be hard to argue that the casino doesn't really understand the risks and that you're sortof-stealing its money.
(Now if you win, aren't you receiving money "stolen" from a previous player? I suspect you're sufficiently removed from that. ייאוש ושינוי רשות, ואין כאן דינא דמלכותא להיפך)
Those are the issues as far as I can see. But please ask your rabbi.
UPDATE: R' Ovadya Yosef shlit'a is of the opinion that absolutely all gambling whatsoever is prohibited -- but not everyone agrees.
Some types of gambling may even be considered stealing by some. That would be the case if the came falls under the category of "Asmachta" which is not a legal way to obtain money.
Rashi in Sanhedrin 24b defines asmachta as when you put money down on something, based on a fact which is not really a fact (for example, the "fact" that you will win) and you are in control of the situation. This is because Rashi feels that knowing you are in control of the situation means you are so confident you will win, you never really intended to give up the money if you lose. In a card game for instance, you have more control over winning than if you purchased a lottery ticket, or played slots, and if you think you are a star cards player might expect to win so much you never even imagined you would lose the money you bet.
Tosfos takes a different approach and says that it is only asmachta when you have nothing to gain from the agreement. For tosfos, it would seem gambling (where you have a chance of making more money) is not asmachta.
For a final answer please CYLOR.
After the whole discussion and back and forth of the sugya the Rivash 432 says that gambling is a disgusting thing and even if someone made a neder not to gamble anymore beis din should not annul his vow.

In Torchlight 2, you can get skill points from level and fame. I am not sure if there are any other means to get skill points.
What is the total of number of skill points you can obtain from the various sources?
In Torchlight 2, you can get skill points from level and fame. I am not sure if there are any other means to get skill points.
What is the total of number of skill points you can obtain from the various sources?
The level cap is 100 and the fame cap is 33. You get 100 skill points from the levelling process and another 33 from levelling up your fame level so I expect the maximum number of skill points available is 133 assuming there are no quests which grant skill points directly and no other mitigating circumstance.
It is worth noting that it takes 100 skill points to completely fill out one tree, so at maximum level you will be able to fill out around one and a half skill trees.
Furthermore, there is a skill calculator already available for Torchlight II here, which performs the same actions as you'd expect from a skill calculator and lets you work out your character build without committing any changes in game.
The max level in game is 100, so that's 99 skill points you can allocate (you start at level 1 with 1 point in a skill). I don't know if there is a maximum fame level, so I can't say how many fame SP you can expect to get.
Also, expect there to be mods to increase or remove the levelcap eventually. Whether these are to personal taste is another question.
You have 100 skill points from levels. For the first skill (that is automatically spent), you can go do a skill respec and take it off for free and use it on another skill.
Each skill tree has 7 spells and 3 passives. that makes 105 points to max out spells and 150 in total to max out an entire tree with all 3 passive skills.
To clarify, so far I have completed the campaign doing every quest, and none gave skill points, so it should be a max skills points of 133.
The max number of skill points you can allocate to a specific character is 132.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

Where do I find Stingers and Sentinels? I've finished Drenchfort and the Lost Temple. I need them for the Shaman sidequest.
Stingers can be found in the passage from The Fjord back to the main area. If you go to The Fjord waypoint, head North, and go through the gate you opened earlier, there is a Stinger hive on the other side.
I don't remember seeing any wild Sentinels, but you will run into them again later. You can also find them by battling in the Crucible. They will show up in the third set of five rounds. However, I don't know if you can get the quest item in the Crucible.
The stingers can be found here:
There will be a lot of wasp-like creatures flying around and a hive. Kill the wasps and the hive and you'll get the
The sentinels can be found in the Lost Temple:
When you go through the dungeon you will come to a point with floating, stone heads that you need to kill. Kill them, and the monsters they spawn to get the last item for the quest.
If you're still unsure of where these are and what specifically you need to look for, take a look at this video (starts at 24 seconds). Furthermore you can talk to
Just to let everyone know, the Crucible is the place to go for the entire quest, it offers all three of the quest items you need for the Shaman's Quest (Waves 6, 7, and 13)
The Stingers, as mentioned, can be find at the end of the Shadow Gorge near the Fjord.
A single Sentinel can also be found near the end of the Shattered Forge found in the Shadow Gorge. It's an optional mini-dungeon explored in The Hammer's Forge quest)

TEMPLE (February 5, 2013) ---Businesses in Temple are cracking down on people trying to pass counterfeit cash.
On Monday a man tried to give a clerk at The Point Liquor Store on West Adams Avenue a counterfeit $20 bill.
Police said the clerk was able to tell the bill was fake and refused to accept it.
Police interviewed the man who tried to use the $20 bill and say they're still trying to determine whether he knew it was counterfeit.
"We're just very proud of our retail shops for showing that they are stepping up their efforts to detect it and stop it from getting into circulation," said Temple police Cpl. Christopher Wilcox.
The owner of Point Liquor said he's recently seen counterfeit bills passed at some of his liquor stores in Killeen.
Temple police began urging businesses to keep an eye out for these fake bills last week after cases of fake money and hot checks increased four times compared to last month.

Got Acne? You Must Eat These Foods
Live by these seven (easy) healthy skin diet rules to prevent breakouts and blemishes
Prevent acne by adopting this healthy skin diet -- see it.
If you eat too much of any one thing, chances are high it will show -- literally -- in your skin. According to dermatologist Elliott Weiss, M.D., of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, new research suggests that diet may play a role in exacerbating acne. "One interesting observation is that acne is predominantly an issue in societies that follow a western diet (high refined sugar, high refined grain products), whereas societies that follow a hunter-and-gatherer type of diet (meat, vegetables, whole grains, no refined or packaged food) don't have a problem with pimples." Which makes sense, considering that a major contributor to acne is follicular hyperkeratosis (proliferation), which leads to plugging of the follicle and inflammation; diet, in fact, can contribute to these processes.
So, what's an acne-prone girl to do? First, says Dr. Weiss: Avoid filling up on yummy, sugary foods, excessive amounts of dairy and processed grains. This will help your complexion -- and your waistline, to boot. And second, eat a balanced, healthy for your skin diet full of vitamins and minerals that work to keep you strong, healthy and gorgeous from the inside out.
But remember, changing your healthy skin diet alone won't cure your acne or keep you completely blemish free, but it is a great place to start on your path to a perfect complexion. Here, with help from nutritionist Lara Field, MS, RD, CPS, LSN, we share the seven rules you should live by -- starting now -- to help keep acne issues at bay.

I don't understand why cable companies need to charge so much. Frankly all the shows they are have MORE commercials than Antenna TV. Cable companies? Double Dipping.
I remember when cable first started (in the dark ages). The reason to PAY for television was because - there were NO commercials, see, you paid for the programming by paying for cable. Man how times change.
I ditched cable awhile ago and have no intention of going back. My flat screen HD tv looks great and I deal with the periodic reception issues. No antenna out there works all the time. IF I am so very interested in a cable show, I get the DVD from the library.

A Leavenworth man was taken to the hospital following a collision Thursday morning at U.S. 73 and Polfer Road, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The accident was reported at 5:18 a.m. The 22-year-old man was driving south on U.S. 73 in a 2000 Dodge Stratus. He allegedly failed to yield to an eastbound 1996 Ford truck. The truck struck the Stratus, causing the car to hit a traffic signal pole in the center of the intersection, according to the report.
The 22-year-old man was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center. He had been wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
The truck's driver, a 46-year-old Tonganoxie woman, and her passenger were not injured, according to the report.
