who teach and review proper techniques during the games.
This is a great opportunity for players to incorporate the
techniques they have been taught and to improve their
confidence in their abilities.
Video Swing Analysis
This summer, Bama Baseball camps is allowing you to purchase a swing analysis video of you taken at camp. Your swing will be video taped by one of our coaches and analyzed by Coach Barbier after the camp is complete. Coach Barbier will then email you the video file. We use software that allows us to break down your swing frame by frame, draw lines, create angles, and provide analysis while voicing over the video. The baseball swing is a very complex movement and needs to be broken down with video to properly analyze and to see what we need to fix. Please check the video swing analysis box when you check out if you would like to purchase this $35.00 option.
What you receive from each session:
Overnight - 3 nights at the holiday inn express, 8 meals, great instruction, and a camp t-shirt.
The camp staff will group players by age and positions
for instruction and competition.
Camps are open to any and all entrants (limited only
by number, age, grade level and/or gender).
Each camper must bring his own baseball equipment. Players should bring a glove, bat, batting gloves, helmet, cleats/spikes, running shoes or turf shoes, hat, and any other equipment they feel necessary to compete. Catchers must bring their own gear. Please mark camper's names on all items. The camp is not responsible for lost belongings.
Campers will receive instruction from Alabama Coaches and players, along with some of the top Junior College and High School coaches in the area. We feel that working with people associated directly with our program helps the camper get a firm grasp on the principles and techniques taught to Bama baseball players.
The Bama Baseball Camp will provide the best possible baseball instruction for players of all ages and abilities in a structured, enthusiastic and fun environment. Campers will receive instruction from Alabama Coaches and players, along with some of the top Junior College and High School coaches in the area.

Your gifts help us push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Ways to Give
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the battle against all types of cancer. Researchers believe they are getting closer to techniques for earlier diagnosis, new therapies to stop the cancer's spread, and possible curative treatments.
At UC San Diego, scientific studies in lung cancer are particularly exciting, ranging from cancer genetics to basic biological insights. Our investigators are also exploring cancer prevention, the reduction of cancer disparities, tumor growth and metastasis, and control of symptoms. Some examples:
Clinical trials are strictly controlled human studies of new and emerging therapies or new and different ways of using known treatments.
Participation in a clinical trial gives you access to new treatments which could potentially become approved therapy down the line. By taking part in a clinical trial, you can be treated with a highly promising new drug that may not get final approval and wide distribution for some time. Also, the participation in a clinical trial widens your choice of treatment for all possible scenarios, from early stages to advanced cancer.
Through UC San Diego Health, you have access to clinical trials from the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG), as well as trials initiated by UC San Diego researchers and pharmaceutical companies.

Bought a house in May that came with a window air conditioner connected to a 220V outlet. The air conditioner is gone with no plan to replace so I want to remove the outlet. I went to the breaker, flipped the double pole 20A breaker to "Off" and then use my power line tester to make sure the wire was not live and to my surprise, the line is still live. I confirmed I am turning off the correct breaker. What am I missing?
I'm not clear how you traced the wire, unless it's exposed the whole way?
If you do have access to the wire, even if it's just when it enters the panel, you should use a non-contact voltage detector to check for power. When you flip the breaker, it should go off.
There's a possibility that there are two feeds to the outlet. I would start by going through all breakers one-by-one (or several at a time, to narrow it down) to see if the power shuts off.
Keep in mind that you can get 220 by bridging two 120V breakers, and so one single breaker may not turn off all power. This setup is not legal, but it sounds like it may not be wired correctly anyway - don't make any assumptions when it comes to bad wiring!
Worst case, shut off all breakers, and confirm the power goes out. Then start turning things back on (an assistant and/or non-contact detector that beeps will help you here).
I personally would not touch any of those wires while my meter still read voltage, and I recommend no one else does either.
I had a problem like that, I tested my NEMA 10/30R 125/250V dryer outlet with the breaker off and still got a reading of 220V. I called the electrician that wired the house, and he read 0 volts with his tester and then read 220V with mine. My tester was a Sperry multi-meter and his was a Knopp.
The Sperry Multi-Meter
The K60 Knopp tester
Because the Knopp tester is solenoid driven you cannot get any back-feed from anything on the panel. The multi-meter can pick-up voltage back-feed and show up as voltage on your tester. This can also be a problem with proximity testers.
The older style testers like this is made by a lot of manufacturers.
Also the Knopp is considered a hi-impedance tester and the multi-meter that I had is a low-impedance tester.
I'm not saying that it's OK to presume the tester is at fault and I don't know what tester that you used. You should always check and double check and if in doubt, do like you are doing and ask questions. If you are still not satisfied, call an electrician.
Also, what reading do you get from one side when measured to ground compared to the other side to ground?
Best advice is to "pull" the breaker from the bus bar. In my experience, a breaker can become locked due to the contacts being welded internally and WILL NOT disconnect power/voltage from the circuit.

Does anyone have a good plot suggestion for a children's fantasy? Maybe about a 13 year old girl in the 1500's. Anything will do.
closed as not a real question by JSBձոգչ, Monica Cellio♦ Jun 11 '13 at 2:21
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If I can suggest something, that would be a story about a young female who attends the medieval school of wizardry. She is forced to have very strict training and no friends in school, because teachers believe that one day, she will save the world and they don't want her to rely too much on others. Somehow, she fells in love with a boy, but later realizes that he is a vampire, and that her favorite teacher, who is secretly in love with her, is a werewolf too. Unfortunately, there are some bad wizards in the world, who take it over and start their totalitarian rules. Our hero has to take part (instead of her younger sister) in a deadly competition against other teens from the school, from which only one will survive. But in the grand finale, the army of animals comes to the rescue, with the great lion who becomes a new king of the magic kingdom.
I'd love to read a story like that.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 7 on an Acer Aspire 1 with AMD Dual-Core C60, 4 GB RAM, and 320 GB HDD (100 GB partitioned for Ubuntu). After restarted my computer, I was able to log in fine but when I tried to log in again after shutting my netbook off, it began to freeze on the log in screen. The freezing occurs several seconds after I'm prompted to enter my password. Even if i enter the password before the freezing occurs, I end up getting stuck while it's loading or something. I'm new to Ubuntu so I have no idea what to do. Also, before it gets to the log in screen, it says something like this:
NTFS5: No wubildr NTFS5: No wubildr NTFS5: error: "prefix"
edit: it was wubildr, not unbilder. Also, the freezing seems to be inconsistent

As the title says, can I have both versions of Xcode installed on the same machine?
To answer your question: Yes. When you install Xcode 4 (and its dev tools) your "old" Xcode folder gets renamed as Developer-old (provided you already had Xcode 3 installed)
To answer Ricket: Xcode 4 doesn't support a few things (yet) like Plugins and some features (like assembly code) are non existent in Xcode4 (perhaps yet or never) so if you rely on some things you might want to keep a copy of Xcode 3 around.
If you want to take a look at a good Xcode 4 review (and see some of the key benefits/drawbacks) have a look at this.
From the doc 'About Xcode and iOS SDK.pdf':
The doc gives detailed instructions.
Just installed Xcode 4 (iOS 5 beta) following Wayfaring Stranger's pointer to change the destination of Essentials (default is Developer folder, which would have probably uninstalled Xcode 3).
However, note that installation vis-a-vis commandline tools was not so smooth. So far I noticed:
As far as the question of why one would want to install these side by side, there's another reason that hasn't been mentioned by others. If you have a team of even a few people and a ship date, you might not want to change your tooling until a later date. But, you might want to check out what's new. For example, I want to follow along with the WWDC sessions that discuss the new SDK/Xcode features.
Just got XCode 3 and 4 working together. First I installed XCode 4 and then decided I needed both. After installing XCode 3 to /Developer/XCode3 , then XCode 4 broke. I ran the XCode 4 installer again and now both work.

6 TV Shows You Won't Believe Saved People's Lives
Think about the biggest way television has enriched your life. Got it? Even if you came up with something like "raised me" or "first glimpse of titties," the people in this article have you beat. Their answer to that prompt would be "saved it." Here are six silly shows that have somehow prevented someone from having an untimely tango with the Grim Reaper.
#6. The X-Factor
If you've seen American Idol, the singing-based talent show that featured Simon Cowell on a panel of judges, then you've seen The X Factor. It's a singing-based talent show that features Simon Cowell on a panel of judges. In England.
Truly a jack of all trades.
In 2007, 46-year-old Jacqui Gray was one of many contestants in the fourth season of The X Factor. Like most talent show contestants, she had little in the way of actual talent. After smirking throughout her entire performance, Cowell asked Gray the patronizing question, "You have a very weird sounding voice, are you aware of that?" Both he and fellow judge Sharon Osborne suggested that she see a throat specialist, saying that it sounded like "somebody else is in there".
"Like a midget or something."
Displaying what has to be the world's least attuned sarcasm detector, Gray decided to take the advice of the judges and see a throat specialist. It was then that the doctor diagnosed her with bronchiectasis -- a potentially fatal lung disease that can cause irreversible damage to the bronchial tubes if you have it, or attempt to pronounce it. Had the condition not been caught in time, doctors noted that Gray's lungs would have been "more infected and full of bacteria than Ke$ha's lady parts."
Not a direct quote.
Gray now takes medication for her condition and thanks Simon Cowell for saving her life. You know, a near-death experience often gives someone a new lease on life, inspiring them to put effort into something meaningful and worthwhile. And after her brush with death, Jacqui Gray has decided t ... audition for more reality shows.
Forgive us if we don't quite feel like giving Simon Cowell a medal for this one.
#5. Curb Your Enthusiasm
In 2004, Juan Catalan was a man with a problem. His brother was in jail for a drive-by shooting, and the 16-year-old girl who had testified against him had been murdered. That was when Catalan found himself in jail as Suspect Number 1 in the homicide investigation.
Above: The face of a murderer? Or the face of the one guy at your local bus station who doesn't sell seedy pot?
Fortunately, he had an airtight alibi: He and his 6-year-old daughter had been at a Dodgers game at the time of the murder. He even had the ticket stubs to prove it, and surely videos of the televised game would exonerate him. Plus, he offered to take a lie detector test, just for good measure. Case closed, right?
Not quite. It turned out the ticket stubs weren't compelling-enough evidence, no footage of him and his daughter could be found, and the police refused to allow him to take that lie detector test. So how did Juan Catalan end up as the luckiest accused murderer this side of O.J.?
By burning his gloves, like a responsible fucking villain?
What Did a TV Show Have to Do With This?
On the day of the murder, HBO was also at the Dodgers game filming scenes for the show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The episode in question revolved around Larry David hiring a prostitute so he could drive in the carpool lane on the way to the game.
After hours of scouring the HBO footage, Catalan's lawyers found a shot of him and his daughter eating hot dogs and presumably not murdering anyone in the stands behind Larry David.
The video also had time codes showing exactly when they were in the stadium, proving there was no way Catalan could have committed the murder. After five and a half months in prison, Catalan was released back into the world, and the plots of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Law and Order: Los Angeles went back to existing only on TV.
#4. Hollyoaks
In October 2007, a British woman named Beth Cordingly was feeling like shit, if that shit was very, very sick. She had persistent headaches and drowsiness and couldn't stop throwing up. Her only solace was watching her favorite soap opera, Hollyoaks, in between throw-up sessions.
The title card actually shows much more than you need to know.
Hollyoaks, for those of you who are a little dusty in your British soap opera knowledge, is one of the U.K.'s most popular soaps. It's kind of like Saved by the Bell: The College Years, in that the stories revolve around the mischief-making of young students at a community college. If Community and Melrose Place had a drunken one-night stand, Hollyoaks would be their unwanted bastard baby.
What Did a TV Show Have to Do With This?
As Cordingly was lying on her sick bed, Hollyoaks aired an episode in which the following completely plausible scenario occurred:
- Spoiled rich girl Jessica needed her boiler fixed.
- An inexperienced repairman fixed it by stuffing newspaper into the boiler, because he's also inexperienced in tthe ways of paper and hot things.
- Jessica threw a house party, presumably to celebrate her newly repaired boiler.
- Everyone got sick from carbon monoxide poisoning.
As the episode wore on, Cordingly began to notice that the symptoms of the drunken revelers mirrored her own, minus the makeout sessions and slutty dancing.
She headed to the hospital to get a check-up, where nurses probably laughed off her concerns that she had "the thing from the telly." But when the doctor checked her out, he discovered that she most definitely had carbon monoxide poisoning. The kicker? Her doctor said that had she stayed in the house another 24 hours she'd be dead.
In the wake of the story, doctors informed the public that soap operas are still not a good source of medical advice and that they should continue to use WebMD.com when diagnosing themselves with something life-threatening.
"Oh God, it's AMNESIA!"

BodyThe Olympus 7 x 21 PC III has an easily portable body, with rubber grips on either viewing barrels. This gives you a firm hold on your binoculars, reducing fatigue. The compact Olympus binoculars feature a built-in dioptric correction control and focus control for additional convenience.
Weighing in at a light 184.27 g, these Classic Binoculars measure 91.44 x 88.90 x 50.8 mm. This makes this small pair of Olympus binoculars easy to pack away in to your travel bags, be it your hand luggage or check-in baggage. The light weight of the PC III Classic also makes it easy to carry and use for longer periods of time without inducing burn-out or fatigue.
PerformanceThe Olympus 7 x 21 PC III Classic sports an objective lens size of 21 mm, which is the diameter of the lens through which the image is viewed. This lens size is ideal for outdoor activities like bird watching, as it performs best under bright light. The exit pupil size of 3 mm is the size of the light ray entering your eye from the binoculars. This determines the brightness of the image you view.
The close focus distance of this pair of binoculars is 13.1 m, allowing you to focus on distant objects that you want to observe in peace. With an eye relief of 11 mm, which is the maximum distance from which you can view scenery with these binoculars, the comfort level afforded is immeasurable. A 7.5° field of view is an ample measure, giving you a wide perspective of your subject.
As binoculars consist predominantly of prisms and lenses, brightness or washout could be an issue faced very often. The Olympus 7 x 21 PC III Classic takes care of this issue with a fully coated interior that reduces glare and washout, giving you a bright image every time. These binoculars also have UV protection that lets you use them in sunlight without worry about exposure.
Buying GuideBinoculars come in handy in many situations, and this particular one has multiple features that make it ideal for outdoor and travel related activities. The brightness level, the fully coated interiors and the UV protection allow you to use this pair of Classic binoculars for hiking, trekking, travel and bird watching. The rubber grip, combined with the magnification, allows you to even use these binoculars in high-adrenaline situations, like a sports event.

Great Entry Level optionHaving never owned a proper pair of binoculars, decided to buy this based on the price and it's features. Turned out to be a good option. Size is small & handy and the views are pretty good. Learning curve for figuring out how to use it is very small and so you'd be at ease with using it in no time at all.

Value for moneyFor an amateur birdwatcher or wildlife enthusiast, this product is a good fit. I've taken it on a recent field trip and found the small size and light weight to be a huge asset. At its current price it is a good purchase.

Great value for moneyQuick shipping by flipkart. Well packed with air cover packet. The quality of the binocular is very good. Bag and the strip is also better. I was really surprised in the first view through this binocular. You have to adjust the middle knob to see the view clearly based on the distance of the object. Shaking of hand is a problem, but i think it can be fixed with a small stand. Awesome product. I like this :)

GOOD BUYThis binocular is great for travelling purposes.It is handy,small size,light weight.Flipkart delivered it in 3 days.the packing was just awesome.But the carrying bag does not come with the neck strap.This causes some problem.I have attached a neck strap with the bag myself.Also the binocular does not contain a neck strap.It contains only a wrist strap but larger than usual wrist straps,u can use it as a neck strap.Other than this the quality of the binocular is great.

I have a custom list i developed my selfg, i also created a view for it. One view for normal users another for admins. When you go to add something new to the list the fields I want to hide from normal users are there. Is there a setting somewhere to fix or change this?
This question seems to have an answer that might pertain to your situation.
I advise that you create another list with different security settings and then create lookup columns that pull information from that list. In this way only the individuals with access to the other list (the one being "looked up") will be able to see it. I haven't tried it myself however.

I'm trying to find an asian (I think) movie that I watched when I was a kid back in the 90's. The movie itself may be from the late 70's -80s. It had some crazy fights in mid air and what-not, it was a very cheesy movie.
All I remember was one average guy that was trying his best to get into a martial arts school, where he worked as a janitor. Their members (the good guys) looked very strong, possibly bodybuilders (or at least that's how I recall it). They used to practice all kinds of exercises to become more powerful. The sensei of the school would not accept the main actor into his school at the beginning, but after a while he got persuaded into it. At the beginning of his training he was very weak (I think I remember the sensei touching our guy's flabby abs), but after a while he became very powerful.
In the end he was strong enough to fight the bad guy (might be someone's son from a rival martial arts school) and defeat him.
I don't remember what the main plot of the movie was, this is all I remember.

During the winter months, poor road conditions, decreased visibility and the stress that cold weather puts on your car can combine to create a treacherous driving environment. Before you head into the cold, heed these tips for safe winter driving:
Driving straight ahead is dangerous enough. Going backward only compounds the potential for an accident. Driving in reverse is perilous because it disorients the driver, according to the National Safety Commission. You have to take one hand off the wheel and crane your neck to see behind you while continuing to monitor what's happening in front of you. Avoiding reverse altogether (make a legal U-turn instead) is the commission's first piece of advice. If you must drive in reverse:
Maintaining proper fluid levels can add thousands of miles to the life of your vehicle, according to the auto information site Edmunds.com. Oil is perhaps your auto's most important fluid. Don't neglect to change the oil regularly, and consult your owner's manual for instructions on how to check and refill the oil on your own. Also check other fluids, such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, engine coolant and windshield-wiper fluid, and refill when low.

I'm pretty new to all the VMware world, so this is probably mainly a question about the right set of documentation to look at. I'm trying to clone/copy a VM that I installed on an ESXi installation.
I was trying to follow along with the top example here: http://serverfault.com/questions/16320/is-there-a-way-to-clone-an-existing-vm-on-an-esxi-server-without-having-to-re-imp
However, I'm using the vSphere client to connect to the ESXi box and manage it, and the vSphere client is telling me it won't let me rename the vmdk file.
The real answer I want is how do I clone the VM I installed if I want to spin up 5 copies. Is there another utility I can use to copy the vmdk file, then create a new virtual machine using it? Any idea why they nerfed the feature in vSphere client?

Someone told me that Bane's ultimate goes through Black King Bar. Are there other item effects or hero skills that can disable thorough it and that can be used to counter heroes that heavily rely on this item?
Noteworthy disables and interrupts that go through magic immunity from various heroes (all ultimates):
Other ultimates that are primarily used for their damage still stun or ministun (but won't damage) magic immune opponents, useful for enemies who are trying to BKB and use a TP Scroll to escape.
Some other ultimates will slow through magic immunity:
The only non-ultimates that disable through a BKB are:
Any spell that has the ultimate property will ignore the magic immunity from BKB. However, generally the damage aspect of the ultimate will not work as damage is rarely considered an ultimate property. Usually the secondary effects such as stun, slow, etc will ignore BKB.
There are a few ultimates listed that do not go through magic immunity at all:
All auras affect magic immune units both positive and negative.
This includes Beastmaster, Shadow Fiend, all item auras, Skeleton King, healing aura from Juggernaut ward, Omni, etc.
Fun thing to do against teams that have a slow attacking carry as their main carry like Tiny who at lv 16 with Aghs, Phase, Drums Manta has less than 100 attack speed or against bad teams that are extremely auto attack carry heavy:
Pick Omni (-28% IAS), pick Tuskarr (-60% IAS) and have one of them buy a Shiva (-40% IAS) which adds up to -130% IAS (enchantress' untouchable is -120% and only for herself so it's equivalent to giving your entire team untouchable).
Watch them cry as they never complete their auto attack animations.
Also bash from basher item and troll warlord's melee goes through magic immunity.

Massive flight litters state with migrants
|A black-billed cuckoo. Credit: Contributed
Sunday morning, I led a field trip to Lighthouse Point in New Haven, producing an almost overwhelming flight of landbirds.
The hawk watch there offered a decent flight of more than 200 raptors, but the point — and the sky above it — overflowed with the calls of warblers, sparrows, finches and other songbirds.
Night migrants such as warblers and sparrows poured in at dawn and continued to move through for several hours. Day-fliers such as cedar waxwings, blue jays, American robins and purple finches passed over in flocks.
My group concentrated on the landbirds, noting hawks overhead as we moved around the park.
At this time of year the warbler migration consists primarily of yellow-rumped and palm warblers, but we found among them a northern parula and black-throated blue, blackpoll and black-throated green warblers.
Both species of kinglets were well represented, and we were following the high-pitched calls of golden-crowned kinglets when a larger bird appeared in flight directly over our heads. Its slender shape, long tail and thin bill identified it as a cuckoo, and I was able to see enough of its tail pattern before it melted into the trees to call it a black-billed cuckoo, one of the two cuckoo species that occur in Connecticut.
This was a highlight at Lighthouse Point. After a couple of hours of fast-paced action we headed to nearby Fort Hale Park, which offers a more open habitat than the woods surrounding Lighthouse Point's lawns.
While searching through sparrows and palm warblers, one trip particiants saw a pale sparrow with a prominent white eye ring hop from the ground into some low cover.
A few of us were able to get a good enough look to see it was a grasshopper sparrow, another good addition to a long list of species on a morning where we didn't really have to look for birds.
We just had to stand still and hope some would stop briefly as they moved through.

To the editor:
Maintaining quality services for Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities is very important to me. I am very concerned that the state will include long-term care services for persons with developmental disabilities in its managed care plan for Kansas beginning January 1, 2014.
Managed care models were designed to help contain costs associated with acute medical needs. Long-term care for persons with significant intellectual or developmental disabilities is neither acute nor medical. It is a spectrum of life-long, person-focused supports that enable a person to live as independently as possible in the community of their choosing.
I strongly urge you to permanently exclude I/DD long-term care services from KanCare.

Recreation doesn't come cheaply.
The Martins Ferry Park District can attest to that.
Park Board President Larry Deaton said operating the recreation center is not the problem. Rather, the money crunch arises with the onset of the summer swimming season and the opening of the city pool.
Article Photos
T-L Photo/BUBBA?KAPRAL
A?REDUCTION?of state money is just one of the issues Martins Ferry officials will deal with when the summer swimming season begins. Costs for pool chemicals mount before the pool even opens. The city is asking for donations from individuals and businesses to help with initial pool startup.
Municipal pools do not make money. Rather, it is how much red ink flows from pool operations and how well officials deal with it.
"Our big problem comes from the drying up of state monies," Deaton said. "Our park district used to get $2,600 a month. Now it is down to $500 a month. That is a huge drop and makes it very difficult to operate on."
The city has been very helpful.
"The city has taken over the bills. In addition to gas and electric they pay the phone and Internet services," Deaton said. "The city also now pays for elevator and fire inspections which are costly.
"We could make it with the city's help, if we just dealt with the building," he continued. "But money problems arise when we come to the pool. I have been on the board 12 years and, in that time, we have not made a dime on the pool."
Costs begin mounting long before the pool ever opens. Chemicals are needed to treat the water. They don't come cheaply when you are dealing with a half-million gallons of water, as is the case with Martins Ferry's pool.
"We spend $1,500 on chemicals before we open the pool," Deaton said.
A drum of chlorine costs $76, a bag of stabilizer is $249, filter septum goes for $270.80 and a bag of filter powder is $31.90. More than half a drum of chlorine is needed daily once the pool is open while four orders of stabilizer, which saves on chlorine, are needed during the season. A bag or two of filter powder is used weekly.
"We need donations from businesses and individuals to help purchase chemicals for the initial startup, just to get the door open," Deaton offered.
Once up and running, payroll proves problematic.
The park district will employ nine lifeguards and a manager. To meet safety regulations, three guards need to be on the deck or in chairs at all times. The concession person will double as a fourth lifeguard while a fifth person is employed to handle the gate.
The pool is open noon to 6 p.m. each day, which adds up to at least 30 hours paid times minimum wage. The district also has a treasurer at $250 per month.
"We make between $1,000 and $1,500 a month on walk-ins. Last June was a good month but we lost money in July. In August, attendance was sparce," Deaton said.
The center generates some revenue, but it pales in comparison to the pool expenses.
"The center holds 3-4 wedding receptions a year and we make $150 a month on Zumba and some money on roller derby and renting out space to the Martins Ferry Boosters. But it is not enough to make ends meet."
The pool, which plays host to 150 Martins Ferry Swim Team members, is also in need of repair.
"The gutter could go at anytime. We need a pool inside a pool," Deaton said. "Such a project would have a pool at the lower end, a new baby pool and a slide in another section to go with a new filtering system. It would cost $700,000."
"The pool is a must for the city residents. It will open June 1," Deaton aid. "There is no guarantee, however, that it will open every year. We are hanging on by a shoestring."
Admission prices this year are Mondays and Wednesdays: $2 for everyone; Tuesdays, Thursdays through Sundays: $4 adults, $3 students. Pool passes cost $55 for a 30-day for family of four; $35 for 30-day single.
Pool party rental rates are $125 for two hours, $25 per lifeguard (2 required). The pool shelter during pool hours costs $60.
The recreation center is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with $2 for admission. Monthy passes cost: $15, single; $10, senior citizens; family of five, $30 and each additional family member, $10.

We're successfully using RSyntaxTextArea 2.0.1 in our project, and I have a small question about making the area scroll automatically.
When "stepping" through code in debug mode, the "current" line must always stay in the viewport. To achieve this, I first just used the caret position, like so:
- Code: Select all
This results in having the window scrolled so that the line with the caret is always visible. Good.
Unfortunately, we just noticed that doing so causes the full code to be reparsed for syntax highlighting. This, for long contents, takes a considerable amount of time.
Is there a better way to force the area to scroll to a given line programmatically ? Or is that issue solved in v2.5.0 ?
Thanks and keep on the good work !
Best regards,

text: Another popular character from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is Aqua. She is one of the prettiest figures from Kingdom Hearts and like Sora, she too is a Keyblade Wielder. I was asked to make a lesson that can show "how to draw Aqua", step by step and because I already did Terra, I thought that another main figure of the game should be done too. Her other friends include Terra and Ventus and like her friends she too wants to become a Keyblade Master. One of the things I like about the characters from Birth by Sleep is how their colors represent what their names actually mean. For Aqua, her name obviously means water. She is said to be an important character that changes lives in the games story line. I for one have not yet learned what role she plays in the series, but so far I do know that she is one of the main protagonists followed by Terra, and Ventus. Learning "how to draw Aqua" should be pretty easy. You're not going to have too much of a difficult time as you tackle this tutorial. In the end I had fun, and because I know a lot of you guys that come to Dragoart are fans of the Kingdom Hearts series, I think you will enjoy this lesson too. I will keep the tutorial momentum going by leaving this description to move onto another, so stay tuned in guys because there is a whole lot more on the way!

Hi,we're using RSyntaxTextArea with Autocomplete on our application.
Some completions are not being shown properly.
For example, we add two variable completions: int foo, int fog.
When user types "f" and press Ctrl+Space, the autocomplete window is not shown.
However, if we remove one of the variables, the window appears normally.
We tought it was because both variables were starting with the same letters, but in some cases the completion works, for example:
int foo and int fog (don't work)
int counter and int columns (works)
So, the problem seems to be very random.
The same problem happens to the template and function completions.
We're following the samples/models on the RSyntaxTextArea source code.
I'll not post any code here for now, but you can take a look (if you want) at: https://github.com/UNIVALI-L2S/Portugol ... ompletion/
Can you please help us?

In 1 John 3:4 (ESV), we read:
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
My understanding is that in the LXX, the Greek word ἀνομία usually refers to the breaking the law of Moses. But in the epistle here, John doesn't really seem much concerned about the Mosaic Law. So what does he mean, then, by "sin is lawlessness"?

What's the difference between "Jew", "Israelite" and "Judaizer"? Can these three terms be used interchangeably? Can only one or only two of these terms be applied to one person?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

There are several, sometimes overlapping families of terms in play:
This name was given to Abraham's grandson, Jacob, by God and means "God prevails" or "God fights". There's some disagreement over which meaning is accurate, but the source is from this passage in the Torah:
Since Jacob fathered the twelve men who are the founders of the 12 tribes, his name was often used as shorthand for the entire community. We see the same phenomena with Moab, Edom, etc. Sometimes the nation was called Jacob, but Israel is more common. There are several variations:
Judah was one of Jacob's sons and the ancestor of David. As such, the tribe of Judah acquired significant political and cultural importance. When the kingdom of Israel split, the southern portion was called Judah even though it included Benjamin and portions of other tribes as well. Like Israel, there are several variations of this name as well:
Although not mentioned in the question, "Hebrews" is a commonly used term for the ancestors of Jacob while they were living in Egypt. The name may have derived from Abraham's ancestor, Eber. Other etymologies have been proposed. The word generally signifies the language of the same name, but at various points in history it has been identified with its speakers. The term emphasizes the text, language, and culture of the people rather than their nation or religion.
One of Noah's sons, who is identified by Genesis as an ancestor of Abraham. Many people groups fall under the banner of Semitic, but because the term antisemitism refers to an attitude of hostility to Jews, the word Semite is sometimes mistakenly used for Jews alone.
While there is significant overlap between the term Israelite and Jew, these terms are not always interchangeable. "Judaizer" probably should not be used at all outside of specific domains.
As stated, Israelite is a anglicized version of a word meaning "of the nation of Israel" which referred to people in biblical and post-biblical times. Once the kingdom split after the reign of Solomon, that term which would have applied to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, would not apply to the Southern Kingdom of Judah. The name "Judah" (transliterated better as "Yehudah") is what became "Yehudi"= which we got (through the German I would guess) as "Jew." Of the three it is the only one in use now.
A Judaizer is one who gets others to convert to Judaism or, separately, someone who adopts practices to live in a state which conforms to certain Jewish norms without being a Jew. It is not a term used for Jews or generally, by Jews.
The first two can be used interchangeably, although the use "Israelite" is slightly antiquated now, and is used mostly to refer to the Children of Israel in biblical times. Nowadays, the only term of those three that are used to refer to Jews is, "Jew"
As far as Judaizer, I have come across the term before, but I had to look it up, because it's so uncommon.
The Wikipedia entry on "Judaizer" defines several different uses for the term, none of which would be synonymous with "Jew".
Israelite is the term for the nation of Israel in ancient times as depicted in the Bible. Jew is the modern term for practitioners of Judaism. It would be anachronistic to describe the ancients as 'Jews' or modern members of Judaism 'Israelites'. I have never heard the phrase 'judaizer' before.

Not all do, it depends if any have been made. Most names are links, that lead to empty pages prompting you to write a page on them.
Once there is a page on the player the link that is currently red will turn to a blue link. Can't remember how many are blue links in the Spurs squad without looking but I don't think there is many (Button may be the only one).
Why Button of all people? He's just a youth Goalkeeper!
Why don't you do a couple then, tottenhamfmo7?
Button may have to play now tottenhamfmo7 due to today's incident.
On-topic: Is there a way to make the category of players for a club be on the main club page instead of in the player profiles page without having it as a sub-category?
You can link to it if you like, you can't categorise it so it appears on a page that isn't a category.
To link to it;
[[:Category:Arsenal Players|Arsenal Players]]
That'll appear as Arsenal Players.
You could put around it, to make it more noticeable?
Cheers mate.
I'm making Harpenden Town atm, have added myself in as a director, footballmanagerwiki as a media source. Would you like to be in it as a director/some other member of the board too? If so, PM me (or post in here, up to you) with your first name, surname and nationality
Theo Stigarakis - English/Greek
Any chance that I can be a GK coach? If not just assign me to any director role.
Yeah, sure (you won't be very good though, as you'll be at Harpenden :-D)
Btw, is that your real surname? If so, it's fantastic!
EDIT: Oh, and as you can see it on coaches;
City of birth -
And, if you want, favorite clubs, players, etc? Not essential, up to you.
I can make any of the above up if ya like

99% sure it isn't, Jammy
You know who I am, put me down as director if you want
No but it's more interesting than 'The Stig' is it not? It's also the name I use on FM btw.
Alan, your birthday is 31 Oct?
And Stig, yeah, it is
Close enough
Birthday is 28.10.92
Birthplace is Galway
Btw Stig, I edited my above post - any chance of them? Cheers
And there isnt actually any difference between the 28th and 31st, so shup
Any Greek city that isn't Athens
Damn, Athens is the only one I know
EDIT: Kolymvari, okay?
That's fine.
First of all, apologies that i haven't put up a Wycombe article at all yet I've been swamped with coursework, GCSE Exams and the like over the past month, along with being ill and several trips with school, meaning i've hardly had time to load up FM! And when i have had time, i've been playing 09 to try and complete the Danny Roberts Challenge with Bernard Brennan!
Secondly, Jammy could you enter me as a Coach with the following details please:
Name: Tom Beckford
DOB: 20/09/93 (Don't hesitate to change the year to make it a bit more realistic!)
Birthplace: High Wycombe, England
Favourite Clubs: Wycombe Wanderers, FC United of Manchester
Sorry mate, I've already got it finalised and all ready to go - I'll add you in if I do a future update though
Alan Spalan - on the League Editor files, could we have a new column with either Yes/No, for 'Based on real structure'?
That way, we could include ones that aren't real (like fantasy leagues) too?
Alternatively, have a section for fake ones.
I think we should include them somewhere.
Sure, do whatever you like with them. Both ideas sound good to me. You'll have to do them yourself though as I don't have the time atm.
I think that we should include both Jammy offering all options that users may want.
Also Tyoldinho has given permission to use his Fabian Delph GPTG guide for FM10. He's also given permission for any other guide he does to put on so i'll sort that out when he's PMed me when they are done.
Can't believe that it's been 2 weeks since a post has been made in this thread.
Well...I have been doing exams so, haven't been able to contribute much yet.
Plus, I still don't have FM10, so no players or stadiums or anything till then. Might get it next week though if I can be bothered to go to the shop
That's not an excuse (any of them)
Not bothering to go to the shop is a terrible one though.
I know....haven't even played 09 for about 2 months.
Starting to miss it (FM in general)
IMO, 08 was the best FM so far, although I did like the demo for 10....
Just flicking through some articles on the Wiki, in the Gameplay section. A couple seem very opinionated.
For example, the article 'Makings of a Long-Term Game' is opinionated such as on avoiding dual-management.
What do you think about opinionated articles?
And, also, just been wondering......would an explanation (article) on dynamic reputation and static reputation be beneficial? (Yes)
[Blatent attempt at boosting us to the first page and on getting some discussion ]
Hello I'm taking a break from posting on SI for now just in case anyone had noticed I haven't been posting much lately. That doesn't mean I'm not around - I still sign in most days to check my PMs and subscribed threads. I haven't lost interest in the wiki either, I just don't have the time to do much on the site at the moment. A quick look at Jammy's post history shows he hasn't been around much lately either, no sure what's up with him though...
And yeah, go for it
Ok, I will have a look around for the opinionated articles, and edit them a bit, to remove the opinions, but if the whole thing is opinionated, i'll delete it
I didn't think that I had seen you much recently....however, I am taking a half break as well. I'm coming back from it now though, I just didn't post much for about a month or so. Still read threads every couple of days or so though.
Just added some categories for player profiles to help sort players by club so if people know that a player played for Carlisle that is on the wiki but can't remember his name they can search through players who have played for Carlisle and he should show up once i've (we've) added the player's clubs onto the site. It'll keep me busy before the game tonight.
That's a really good idea imo stig. If it's not all done by the weekend, I could help you with it if needed.
It's fun for those like John Ruddy or Simon Walton who have played for about 10 clubs by the age of 22/23 ish.
Stig, are you doing individual pages for all the players that have played for each club? So, for example, each club has a page just for players that have played for them in their career?
And, where are you linking these from? A new category?
I'm trying to help update some but I can't understand where you are putting them all.
A page for each club linked to the club page. See the Birmingham club page for example.
Ok, cheers. I will work on updating a few, instead of revising for History
Have you done the list of transfer/wage budgets from the GTPG yet Rob?
:o NO! I forgot
Will get on to it, expect it up sometime tomorrow, or friday.
I am starting to do what you have done for the clubs, for the national teams....well, just England so far, take a look.
It should help people managin nations see which players they have available at a glance, as well as information on how to use them. And, I know that there is already a notable players section but hardly any of them have profiles, so this will be easy for them to see the ones with profiles, and view them, as some of them won't be included in the notable players section.
How do I create a category?
Would be very helpful for those who are playing as a nation that they are not familar with
Same way as creating a page from a red link.
When creating a page, put Category: at the start of the title.
Cheers, but I worked it out
I had tried that before, it was just that I was creating a page from within a page, so it didn't work earlier.
Could someone delete this page please?
Thanks, turns out I don't have the rights to delete pages

Deleted mate.
Haha, I like the new merry Christmas bit on the main page
Oh, dudes. Want me to do anything for FM Wiki? Whatever happened to the Fanzine, too? We should start that up again.
stubs that have needed looking at for a while.
We're also lacking in pages related to CSE if you're interested in writing anything on that. There are some here but still not that much.
Oh, and the fanzine idea kinda fell apart months ago. Might be worth a shot bumping the old thread on it (will try to find linkage) or starting a new one. I know for sure that I won't be able to commit to something like that anymore, anyway.

Unfortunately Andrew Smylie isn't on the official SI database otherwise we would definitely have had a page on him months ago Tom. Most of the player histories have the English team categories at least (if they've played in England) and they should be done by the end of the year when I have time.
I am sure they will.
Then will have to have pages for all 'forum legend' regens such as your Brennan too. It may confuse several people who view the wiki when they can't find him on their game.
I've sorted out the team categories into a category of its own that can be accessed via the player profile section.
Do you think we could have a section on favourite regens where we can upload a screenshot of our favourite regens and do a profile on them. (One way to include Smylie Tom )
I'd say that if we were to do this, then only players who are forum "legends" should be allowed a page, such as those who have completed the Danny Roberts Challenge and those who have been entered into the Youth Player Hall of Fame
Good call from me.
Has anyone else got a view on this? Jammy & Alan, i'm looking at you two btw
*Notices Tom's attempt to get more recognision of Brennan *
I'm writing up a list of potential legends as we speak, and tbh, there's millions of them Loads from NepentheZ, rancer890 and a few from others such as Ridleys, DodgeeD, TaylorB, mag man, santy001 and myself!
Ok, so far i've found the following players that are deemed worthy of inclusion in the legends category should the idea get the go ahead from people other than me and stig:
Danny Roberts - dafuge
Ryan Gaughan - dafuge
Paul Wallace - NepentheZ
Andrew Smylie - NepentheZ
Frank Dunlop - NepentheZ
Gareth Black - NepentheZ
John Adams - NepentheZ
Kevin Fry - NepentheZ
Carlo Milosevic - Rickaldo
Liu Lijia - rancer890
Zhu Jinhui - rancer890
Javier - rancer890
Vlastimil Vaclavik - DodgeeD
Josué Ramos - DodgeeD
Jake Carpenter - mag man
Charlie Margot (aka. mag man jr) - mag man
John Puckett - hamilton162
Bernard Brennan - hamilton162
Dong Tao - TaylorB
Kerrison - santy001
Josef Svec - kroblues
Dean Evans - Ridleys
Is that it?
I think only regens that are well known around CSE (and Careers forum or anywhere else) should be written about. Will this all be on one page or are you thinking a page for every player?
Jammy isn't posting on the SI forums anymore (for now at least) btw. I spoke to him about this a few weeks ago and doesn't sound like he's interested in coming back and posting regularly any time soon. We all know he'll come crawling back eventually though...
We could do a page about the CSE HOF and link the players from that or have a category going from that page.
I don't mind either way. Don't know much about CSE at all tbh so can't really help
OK with doing it together then Tom?
Yeah, that's fine stig I'm suggesting we try and get a page on each player if possible, written by the user who managed the player, sound good?
Do you think it's worth adding the 'hall of fame' regens to the regen page?
Could do .
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but are legendary regen's from the CSE forum really that important?
I know this is all for fun and you guys have put in a lot of hard work already, but surely there are other things that would be more interesting from a general fan/noob of FM's point of view. The Nation guides for example, only has guides for 9 different nations.
Since jammy's left I don't think any regular editor is an 'expert' at player/team advice so we're pretty much screwed there. We could take guides from GPTG'ers with their permission, but that's about it. Don't think there are many nation guides in GPTG anyway.
Edit: Oh, and a little update on expanding the site to FML - JJay said he'll be merging his old FML wiki with our site after the FML reset in March.
When do you think we should ask for permissions for FM10 team guides Alan? Now or after the final patch?
I think we should do it now. If it isn't done by next week, I probably won't have time to help at all. I bumped the GPTG thread yesterday, but didn't get many responses. I must ask Jammy if he PM'ed people asking for permission for the 09 guides.
I'll add Hopey's Lyon thread in a bit, he gave us permission to use his.
Just wanted to say well done to all those who have contributed to the Wiki this year, and hopefully we'll see the continuation of that
Happy New Year to you all, hope you all have a good one. Hope you all had a good Christmas too
Happy new year JJ
Who is it that's in charge of the team guides again? I think it was stig and Jammy but I'm not certain. Would either of you mind helping with adding the GPTG guides to the site? Cheeers
I do them mostly and certainly. I'll sort out the 09 ones first before putting the 10 ones on. Start with the Prem ones first whilst I sort out the 09 ones mate.
Happy new year to everyone too.
What does everyone think of players having an info box in the top right corner giving DOB, main position, other positions, starting club, starting wage, nationality, other nationalities?
Just had a quick look on FM Wiki, and you dont have anything on Rubin Kazan, you could use my Team Guide from the GPTG if you want
Thanks and we'll put that up over the next few days unless you want to put it on yourself. To put it on, you'll need request an account.
Nah, thats way too much effort for me
Ill leave it to the pro\'s.
That's fine then.
Started with these tonight if people want to help me.
Stig, since you're the main person in charge of the team guides, do you want to start the 'can we use your team guide' thread for FM10 in GPTG? Hopey gave me permission to start a new thread.
I'll try to help where I can with the guides, but I don't have much time on my hands these days so I'm not sure how much I can do.
Can do mate.
Is the Crewe page in bold for anyone else in recent changes?
Not for me.
Might just be because I've editted it so many times then.
Sorry i haven't been around to help much with the HoF players stig, school has set me loads of work despite being closed!
I'm starting to change the disclaimers at the bottom of each page, NepentheZ didn't write out all of that for each player, the user who's the player is wrote it!
wow this is very impressive well done to the authors.
That's nice of school Tom . Thought i'd put the right user for each but obviously not.
Edle - Thanks. If there is anything you'd like to add to the site just let us know.
Is anyone else having trouble loading it today?
It's down for me atm Mir too.
Edit: Back up.

What: A gospel benefit concert for baby Carson Asher
When: Dinner from 6-7 p.m., music from 7-9 p.m. Friday
Where: The Heritage Center, 109 Delaware St., Leavenworth
— The Rock quartet, Gospel Train and Ron Jaster are scheduled to perform. Free will donations are accepted for admission to the musical performance. Dinner costs $5 per person. All proceeds go to Carson's family to pay for medical expenses.
Herschel Lincoln, a longtime Leavenworth resident, has neither met nor put eyes on infant Carson Asher, but Lincoln has worked since early July on the baby's behalf.
"I believe that's what Christians are supposed to do — you see a family in need and you try to help them all you can with what you have," Lincoln said.
Carson, the son of local residents Kevin and Megan Asher, was born May 30 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a congenital heart defect in which the left ventricle is severely underdeveloped.
Lincoln is a family friend, and one of the primary organizers of Friday night's "An Angel in Distress," a gospel concert and benefit at the Heritage Center, 109 Delaware St., in Leavenworth.
All proceeds from the event, which includes performances by Lincoln's The Rock quartet, Gospel Train and Ron Jaster, will be used to pay down Carson's medical expenses that are not covered by insurance.
"If it was my child, I would want help," Lincoln said. "The hospital bills are just humongous. … They have insurance, but you know how it is, it isn't going to cover all of it.
"I just decided if we could collect and help them, we would. We're going to do the best we can."
Danny Asher, Kevin's father and Carson's grandfather, said his baby grandson is back in the hospital being treated for a number of issues. Carson has had numerous health problems in his young life, Dan said, and needed open heart surgery just a few days after he was born.
He said Kevin and Megan's medical expenses have climbed to more than $300,000, but their primary concern right now is for their son.
"You're worried about your kid," said Dan, who owns and operates Dasher Garage in Lansing. "It's been real hard for both of them."
But, though there have been troubles, there has also been support from local community members, he said.
"There's been a lot of blessings," Dan said. "There are a lot of churches and a lot of people praying."
Lincoln said about 10 area businesses have donated thus far, as have several area residents.
"I'm getting $10s, $20s, just people walk up and give it to me," he said.
"I had a 93-year-old lady the other day, Sunday, walk up to me and give me an envelope. There was $100 in it, and I would like to have fell over. So there's people giving."
Still, he's hoping to raise more.
Food will be available at Friday's event from 6-7 p.m. for $5 per person. There is no admission for the musical performances, though free will donations will be accepted.
There are also "Pray for Carson" wristbands available for $5 each.
Page 2 of 2 - "People are hungry for good news, and good, clean fun, I believe," Lincoln said. "I think that's what people want, so they can come out and enjoy themselves (Friday night).
"We just hope people will come, enjoy themselves, and if not, donate money to help the (Ashers) out. Every penny that is raised, guaranteed, will go to Carson's fund to pay hospital bills."
For more information on the benefit concert, call the Heritage Center at (913) 682-2122. To donate individually, call Lincoln at (913) 683-0029.

In American English, a "quiz" is like a "test" or "exam," but it is typically shorter (in length and duration) and less heavily weighted. In Spanish class I learned "test" was examen and "quiz" was prueba. Do these Spanish words carry the same connotations as the English words? Or does the distinction not exist in the same way in Spanish as it does in English?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In Spain, in the schools I attended examen was used for the final test/exam at the of the term or the year. The quizes during the terms, usually about just one lesson, were called controles.
EDIT: A control usually was taken at school, and it could mean that you don't have to take any examination on this anymore as happens in primary school, or you had to take this part anyway in final exam at the end of the term or the year. It's just for "controlling" the progress of the pupil or student. A parcial it's an exam of a part of the subject/course, and can include one or more lessons. In high school and university, a parcial it's an exam on a part of the subject/course and it's organized during the course, like a control. When passing a parcial means that you don't have to take that part of the subject/course anymore and it won't be included for you in the final exam, then it's called parcial liberatorio.
At least when I was in school, the two words were always used interchangeably. Even if you look the term "prueba" in RAE one of its definitions is:
In Mexico this short exam is called "parcial".
In Spain, when your are going to have a "test", normally means that the exam will be short and most of times of type "Check the right answer: a, b, c or d"
If you are going to have "just an exam", normally you should expect be asked to write down a quite elaborated answer to each question in the exam.
Yes, the translations you mention DO carry the same connotations.
A mnemonic to possibly help remember:
If you take a look at the word prueba, you'll notice that it's stem has changed from o => ue. If you reverse it, you will get proba... or for the sake of argument, "Probe."
Probing something is like poking it with a stick..as well as other "alien"-ated denotations. Let's just say the word "poke" from now on. Regardless, when you poke something, it is usually short lived. I've never heard of anyone poking a snake for days on end, much less poking my girlfriend. Eventually you gotta get up and eat or take a nap.

6 Stretches That'll Change Your Life (Or at Least the Way You Sleep)
Forget about white noise and wine to put your mind at ease before bed. These stretches are fit to give you the best night's sleep ever
Thankfully there's a solution to my bad sleeping habit. Truth is, sprawling out onto my bed isn't the most efficient way to get a good night's sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. After talking with personal trainers, fitness experts, and health and wellness gurus, I've learned that stretching before bed reaps way more amazing benefits than you might think.
DailyBurn fitness trainer Anja Garcia says, "Sometimes it can be hard to calm your body and your mind after a busy day. I'm a fitness trainer and pediatric nurse, so I'm always on the go. But I've found that stretching before bed is one of the best ways to wind down after a long day."
Similarly, Alice Beckett-Wilson, physical therapist and wellness expert says, "Stretching before going to bed is helpful in getting a good night's sleep, and all stretches should be done with a focus on breathing."
So if you're desperately awaiting some much-needed R&R, fluff your pillows, toss the sheets back and keep clicking to see how to prepare for the best sleep of your life.

An Arkansas City man has entered an Alford plea in case involving the sexual abuse of four girls between the ages of 12 and 16 years old.
Fifty-year-old Jerry Wayne Mills entered the plea Tuesday on four counts, including one rape charge. He had originally faced 11 charges involving a total of seven victims.
With an Alford plea, Mills maintains his innocence but acknowledges the state had enough evidence to convict him. Mills' attorney says he decided to accept the plea bargain to avoid facing several life sentences.
The Arkansas City Traveler reports (http://bit.ly/XVTt5R ) Mills will be sentenced April 11.
Mills remains in the Cowley County Jail on $100,000 bond.

Take an account without the "Critic" badge, upvote a question, immediately downvote it, then immediately cancel the downvote, and you get the critic badge.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Awarded badges are not removed, by design.
Jeff Atwood has mentioned this on a few occasions: "Badges are almost never removed. You do not lose the badge once you have it."
So if, for example, you left 10 comments (Commentator badge) and then deleted one, you would not lose the badge.
Well, you did downvote it...
I guess the solution would be to require the downvote to be in place for more than 'x' minutes or something, or require loading of a full page (rather than just an XML callback which is presumably what caused it, even though I was just trying to cancel my upvote)
Whilst on the subject, why not have it such that clicking downvote on an upvoted question should just cancel the upvote, and not give you the downvote without a second click? (analogous to a spinner control)
I felt guilty enough about the "extra" badge when it happened to me at SU, that I went looking for a suitably crappy question or answer to down vote for real... and wasn't surprised that I found one before I got bored ;-)
I don't think its a big deal though, just a quirk. The description does say "first down vote" and the erroneous click was on a down arrow so it did make sense in hindsight.
I know this badge is trivial, but so is making it work right, so why not do so? It appears that the application of this badge is currently controlled by a flag that gets set to true the first time a down vote button is clicked. It can never be set back to false even if the user immediately undoes their down vote.
Do away with this flag and have the code that checks for application of this badge examine the down vote count instead.
It is so easy to get this badge that it isn't worth introducing any extra code to govern it. If you can be a "critic" with one click... so what if you can do it with two too?
I had this happen and I did not intend to downvote anything. I upvoted an answer, realizid I had upvoted the wrong one and clicked the downvote arrow as if it were a numeric up/down control. I then immediately corrected the resulting -1 by clicking the control again leaving the question back at 0.
The next day... Critic
Perhaps this should be treated as a bug
You probably don't want to make it too hard to get the critic badge otherwise you might encourage needless down-voting just to get the badge. Which would be in contravention to the purpose of badges and rep.
This confused be enough that I came here, worked out that it was the right place to report bugs, did a search to see if it was already reported and came here. In other words it not expected behavior and therefore it probably should not be what happens.
