Windows Phone 'Mango' brings developers the ability to deliver several different types of multitasking scenarios to the end user. In this code focused session, we'll drill in depth on what these are and how to add multitasking to your existing Windows Phone app today.
Oops, something didn't work.
Any chance of this session's video to be uploaded?
In my experience Peter Torr's talks are always interesting and informative - would love to see this one!
The slides don't appear to be working!
For some reason the slides are stuck - they seem to start working at 25 minutes in. I'll see if we can get this fixed but I doubt it. You'll just have to load the slides and manually follow along I'm afraid . Sorry for the inconvenience.
OK, sounds like we might be able to get a new version with the slides / demos within then next day or so... stay tuned!

Saudi Arabia has donated meningitis vaccines to the West African nation of Burkina Faso. The $1 million worth of aid also includes serum to treat the disease.
The Kingdom's donation is in response to an appeal from President Blaise Compaore that Burkina Faso could face a major meningitis outbreak without sufficient vaccines.
Previously, Saudi Arabia provided $500,000 worth of meningitis vaccines to the West African nation.

Rutgers Confirms Jump to Big Ten
Rutgers University officials confirmed Tuesday that the school is joining the Big Ten Conference in 2014-15, taking a leap in revenue and stature from their current home in the Big East Conference. Rutgers's announcement comes one day after the University of Maryland announced it would join the Big Ten, bringing conference membership to 14.
Both Rutgers and Maryland have cash-strapped athletic departments and spotty football histories but reside in large East Coast media markets that cable carriers covet. The conference's Big Ten Network could reap the benefits of new subscribers along the Eastern Seaboard, where the Big Ten previously had no members.
"For athletics, the Big Ten Conference is the model, it's the ultimate," Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti said. He said the conference move means "stability at an unstable time," adding, "This relationship is the perfect storm of relationships."
The Big Ten currently forwards nearly $21 million per year to each school through its broadcast-rights deals with several networks, including BTN. It boasts some of the nation's largest and most storied football programs, a long-standing place in the Rose Bowl and strong agreements with the bowls that will be involved in the playoff system that begins after the 2014 season.
More on the Big Ten
The Big East is known primarily for basketball and has just eight football programs and a volatile history of membership. The Big East's TV deals total roughly $250 million over six years, or what the Big Ten currently generates annually, and its power during continuing negotiation for broadcast rights will be hurt by Rutgers's departure.
Rutgers played the first college football game in U.S. history, a 6-4 victory over Princeton in 1869, but otherwise has achieved little of gridiron distinction. The highlights include an 11-2 finish in 2006 and this season's 9-1 team. But as TV rights fees for college sporting events skyrocket, particularly for football, media markets have become far more important than actual fans in the stands or even a team's performance on the field.
The conference realignment that roiled top-division college sports in recent years slowed after the announcement earlier this year of the playoff. But in September, Notre Dame jumped to the Atlantic Coast Conference in all sports but football (in which the Fighting Irish will play five ACC games per season), adding another powerful program and shoring up the conference's postseason allure.
Notre Dame's jump seemed to mean it had slammed the door on its joining the Big Ten, especially with the news that the ACC had raised its exit fee to triple the conference's annual operating budget, or about $50 million. The removal of the nationally popular Irish from the Big Ten's potential expansion plans seemed to spur the conference's more recent push outside its natural center in the Midwest. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick declined to comment on the Big Ten's moves.
"What we saw happening around us was most of the major conferences moving out of their historic boundaries," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. "We thought that we needed to at least be aware of what the potential was. … This is a conversation that has played out over three or four years."
The Big Ten's new divisions have not been decided yet, the commissioner said.
The Big East is still reeling from the departure of four members since 2004—Boston College, Miami, Virginia Tech and West Virginia—and the impending departure of two more next summer: Syracuse and Pittsburgh. All of those programs left for the ACC except for West Virginia, which joined the Big 12. The teams the Big East is gaining in 2013 are more far-flung and far less traditional: Houston, Southern Methodist, Central Florida, Memphis, Boise State and San Diego State. Navy joins in 2015.
"Although we are disappointed that Rutgers has decided to leave the Big East Conference, we wish them well," Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said in a statement. "They have been a valued member of the Conference for many years. We realize that conference realignment is currently a fact of life in college sports."

6 Death-Defying Stunts That Are Secretly Easy to Do
None of the below stunts requires magic or ancient mystical mastery of your body's inner energies. What they do require is lots of practice guided by someone who knows what the hell he's doing.
In other words, do not get drunk and try these just because this article explained how they're done. You can totally kill yourself if you do them wrong. Seriously.
#6. Sword Swallowing
As the name may indicate, sword swallowing is basically when a performer shoves a blade down his gullet, sometimes deep enough to enter the stomach and scramble undigested Toaster Strudels. Anyone unfamiliar with the trick would have to assume that it's some kind of illusion, because it's pretty hard to believe that someone could jab at his innards with a goddamn sword without incurring some breathtakingly serious injury.
Don't belch.
The trick has been impressing crowds since Old Testament days; the stunt originated in India over 4000 years ago, making it one of the earliest and most impressive things to come out of the subcontinent.
Dhalsim notwithstanding.
So, they use a trick sword made out of taffy or something, right?
Nope, you can totally do it with a real sword. As it turns out, the only trick to deep-throating a sword is overcoming your gag reflex. When something enters our esophagus, it contracts to push it down toward the stomach. This reaction occurs automatically, whether we are downing a burger and fries or 22 inches of forged steel.
"I think I see the problem right here."
Problems tend to arise when your esophagus contracts around the latter, so the entire trick to sword swallowing is to slowly (usually over a few years) train yourself to control your gag reflex. If stopping an automatic reflex sounds impossible, just ask any contact lens wearer. The first time you try to touch your eyeball with your finger, your eyelids reflexively slam shut. But after a few months of inserting contacts every morning, you get to where you can jab you finger right in there without so much as a twitch. It's just a matter of concentration plus repetition.
So once you've gotten control of your gag reflex, it's just a matter of tilting your head back at a 90-degree angle (so that your GI tract is straightened out), and then you've got a more or less straight path for the blade (or whatever) to slip down your throat. You do have to do it slowly -- your GI tract still isn't perfectly straight so you're kind of using the sword to gently nudge your internal organs out of the way.
Needless to say, the swords used in this trick are usually dull, unless the performer has a death wish. Of course, performers do try to top one another, doing things like using multiple swords, which as you may imagine is fantastically dangerous. Particularly when you get to the whole "shifting internal organs" part of the trick.
The only thing missing here is one giant sword for America.
#5. Fire Eating
Fire eating has been a favorite at freak shows and circuses for centuries, as well as by drunken frat guys looking to impress girls at a party just moments before a screaming trip to the emergency room.
But once again, it's all in the technique, and understanding something about physics.
The trick begins when the performer dips a specialized torch into fuel and lights it. He then takes a broad stance and tilts his head back at a 90-degree angle (which you'll remember was also the first step to sword swallowing, but it's done here for a different reason).
The picture up there tells the story. Heat rises and fire goes up -- that's why you can hold your fingers on either side of a candle but put a finger right over the flame and you'll be in tears. Likewise, the flame coming off the end of the torch wants nothing more than to burn your face into Eric Stoltz from Mask, but you can safely get it into your mouth if you give the heat a perfect, vertical, invisible chimney to rise up out of.
But if the angle is wrong, God help you.
While lowering the flame, the performer also needs to slowly exhale in a steady stream. This is another strategy to keep the heat of the flame away from the face by blowing it up and away, but there is another, much more crucial reason:
If the performer inhales, the fire is going to get sucked right into his lungs and roast his insides.
Imagine this guy's stomach lining in a microwave. Nobody wants that.
If everything has been done up to this point without a burntacular injury, the fire has finally made its way into the performer's mouth. Then he closes his lips around the flame without touching them to the neck of the torch -- at this point the torch is red-hot and would melt his lips together like a soldering iron -- and with one last, quick exhale he can extinguish the fire.
#4. Breaking Boards or Blocks With Your Hand
Human flesh is fragile and easily damaged, so how is it that some people can hurl their hands and arms at stacks of wood boards and concrete blocks and make them look like they're made out of Styrofoam? Hell, even children can do it.
Well, as it turns out, block breaking has less to do with strength and more to do with knowing the physics behind this feat.
It's a well-known scientific fact that breaking bricks makes you look suspiciously like Gary Busey.
See, every time you see this trick done, the blocks are suspended by dividers on either side that hold up the very edges of the blocks or boards. This part is crucial and is the reason why karate masters aren't tearing apart skyscrapers and sidewalks with their bare hands. For the blocks to break, there must be enough space beneath them for them to bend.
All materials flex and bend to some degree when impacted, even cement. That's part of what makes something a good building material; you want it to give a little. It's this small but important flex made by the blocks that allows you to break them.
As Bruce Lee -- or rather, the people who fought Bruce Lee -- can tell you, the karate chop is one of the most efficient movements the human body can do, exerting thousands of newtons of force. If you hit the blocks in the exact middle and -- this part is important -- then follow through with a pushing motion to complete the chop, it prevents the blocks from rebounding from that bend. So the break hinges on this critical follow-through.
This is why you won't (necessarily) shatter every bone in your hand by trying to chop through concrete. But just to be clear: The technique is everything. This still shouldn't be attempted by anyone who hasn't been trained professionally unless you're not planning on using your hand for the rest of the year.
The nurse will not be impressed.

While its Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival Regis moved up to seventh in this week�s top-25 rankings, the Fort Lewis College men�s soccer team climbed five spots to 17th.
The FLC women�s soccer program dropped from second to 14th in the polls.
�It was good to see us move up in the rankings,� FLC men�s coach Oige Kennedy said in a news release. �We had a tough week with three tough games. There was a lot of road travel ... I think we spent over 40 hours in the bus in the last two weeks.�
FLC (4-1-1, 1-0-1 RMAC) went 2-0-1 last week, beating California Baptist 1-0 on Monday in Gilbert, Ariz., beating Colorado Mesa 1-0 in double overtime Friday in Grand Junction, then playing archrival Colorado School of Mines to a scoreless draw Sunday in its home opener.
Yannis Becker, who scored the golden goal against the Mavericks, was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday. The freshman from Sittensen, Germany, scored the game-winning goal against California Baptist, and he leads FLC with four goals � three game-winners � and nine points in six games.
�Yannis has had a great offensive output for a freshman and has come up big in some very tight games,� Kennedy said. �I think we�ll see a lot more in the future as he get more used to the system that we play.�
Lynn was ranked first in this week�s National Soccer Coaches Association of America top-25 poll, followed by Seattle Pacific, Long Island Post and Gannon (Pa.), all 6-0-0. Rockhurst (Mo.) is ranked fifth.
FLC will host Adams State at 3:30 p.m. Friday and UC-Colorado Springs at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Dirks Field.
�We�ve got two more home games this weekend and hope to get some big support,� Kennedy said.
The FLC women�s soccer side will start the men�s/women�s doubleheader both days at Dirks Field; FLC will host Adams State at 1 p.m. Friday and UCCS at 1 p.m. Sunday.
FLC (4-0-1, 1-0-1 RMAC) played Colorado Mesa to a scoreless tie Friday in Grand Junction, then beat Colorado Mines 1-0 on Sunday at home. FLC is the only RMAC-ranked team in this week�s poll.
�I think our kids are beyond concern with the rankings,� FLC women�s coach Damian Clarke said in a news release. �Their focus is winning games. I think this weekend presents two very difficult games against clubs that have gained a lot of confidence and improved a lot.�
Grand Valley State is ranked first, followed by Sonoma State, Saint Rose (N.Y.), West Florida and North Georgia.

Not that I'm intentionally shilling for Walmart, but here's something to tuck in the back of your mind: the next time your dog has to take a prescription drug, you could save $$$ by having the script filled at your local Walmart.
As my Walmart pharmacist says, "A drug is a drug, whether it's for dogs or their humans. What differs is the dosage and frequency of use."
As my vet says, "Yep, a lot of drugs we prescribe can be purchased at Walmart, and… I hate to admit it… at a reduced price. Most of the drugs we prescribe for our canine patients are "human" drugs — from Xanax to insulin to antibiotics."
Yikes… I didn't realize dogs took Xanax. I guess, among other things, it could help relieve stress caused by thunderstorms and fireworks. Personally, loud noises don't bother me… maybe it's because I'm deaf in one ear (discovered through BAER testing when I was a pup… more on that in a future post), and maybe it's just because my humans are pretty laid back and don't seem all that excited when a big storm rolls through. Whatever.
Anyhow, keep this list of $4 Walmart meds handy. Hopefully, you won't ever need it.
Talk to you soon,
P.S. You probably already know this, but never give your dog human over-the-counter or prescription meds without first getting approval and specific instructions from your vet.

Now copy the id_rsa.pub to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with this command:
Now you have to be able to execute the sudo shutdown -P 0 with no password.
Modify /etc/sudoers on remote.host with visudo
That way user "yourusername" can execute the shutdown command with no password asked.
By running visudo, it leads to edit /etc/sudoers.
Now we are able to access remotely, and shutdown without passwords asked.
2. Prepare your Android
Now you can Turn on and Shutdown a remote.host :)
Power On
You can simply enable Wake-on-LAN on your computer through BIOS setup, then use any of the several WOL apps to send the power-on command over the network. Some apps like SyncMe also include WOL functionality, so a separate WOL app may not be needed.
Shutdown on Windows
In general it will involve some server utility installed on the computer, and the client-side Android app communicating with it, for example oneID. These apps usually include other features, which may be overkill. You could use SSH and call the
For these reasons I end up writing my own small solution. WebShutdown is a small web server which is going to shut down the computer when a specific HTTP GET request is received. That means you can turn off your computer from Android device by simply tapping a Tasker or web shortcut on home screen. Windows is going to shut down "properly", meaning your logoff scripts configured in Group Policy will get executed normally.
You can run the server on computer startup like this for example:
If your host supports wakeup on lan you can use some of these apps.
If your network card can use Wake-On-LAN and/or is supported, and is remotely accessible, then yes, it is quite possible to achieve it (wake-on-lan apps are in abundance on the play store), taking into account of security considerations which is outside of the scope of this site, double check and make sure no other service is on that public facing PC otherwise bad guys will get in and wreak havoc.

I was curious on how to use arrays in the link_to method in ruby on rails for example:
def index
@test = [1,2,3]
<%= link_to "test", {:action => 'index'}, :test => @test %>
When looking at the source then, I end up with something to the effect of:
test
My guess is that the array's to_string or something similar is getting called to set the value of test in the html.
My goal is to be able to have a form in which people can submit data on the page, and then once they've submitted the data and return to the page, if they click on the link the data will persist through clicking on the link.
*Ideally I would like to do this without having to pass the parameters in the url.
Thank you.

Why do you continue to re-post this?
This is the third time in two days and all you do is "RIP" it and re-post it with a different title!
Give it up!
@kelomaki: each post is actually a different style, perhaps look before complaining.
@kelomaki: Really, who cares? We just use the post to get a quick link to the Deal of the Day...
@kelomaki: What a jerk! my wife loves this link...
@setsunarcangel: Let's not get into name calling, thanks.
At least they aren't jorts...
Don't you know that if you ever complain about oh Cheri, they will send their army of mindless drones after you?
@whoster69: Actually we Deals.Woot users simply take it upon ourselves to correct your idiotic statements. OhCheri needs not do anything.
@whoster69: I'm picturing an army from Oh Cheri coming after me in their jeggings and babydolls and bustiers and I don't see that as a bad thing.
Real Punk Rockers wouldn't wear pants that say "punk rock" on them. I'm just sayin'.
Different style......Ok... So it's OK for me to post the same shirt in different colors?
Red shirt, blue shirt.... It's the same "F'in' shirt.. Different color.
Hip Hop, Denim or Punk Rock Legging (Jeggings).... They are all the same.

Don't like it- don't click it.
These are on sale- maybe half price. Today.
That's a deal.
That's why we're here.
Want some fun?
Goto Walmart, and you may see some 50 year old 350 pound honey in these.
And a pink fur boa.
And a wiggle.
@craigthom: Yeah, me too. Also.
First thing i thought of.
Maybe a dozen near nekkid Bond esque beauties determined to wear me down.
I think I'll think it again ...
@natalieug: True and not to mention the fake rips on the jeggings appear to show neon orange fishnets over severely jaundiced skin, Doesn't even closely match the actual fishnets the model is wearing beneath them.
Cute idea, but definitely screams "poser" unless you could wear them with a hefty dose of irony.
@natalieug: real punk rockers are in their fifties and sixties, if they are still alive. Anyone younger dressing like a punk is a poser.
@hottubrf: People who use foreign words when there are perfectly good English equivalents are poseurs.

Is it easy to host a jsp website like PHP? Is the server open source like Apache? and What is the best server for jsp?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Nov 19 '10 at 3:48
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
PHP is generally more of an accessible language to beginners or casual web programmers than JSP. Therefore hosting tends to be much more common and also, therefore cheaper.
JSPs are a special type of Java servlet. These run in a servlet container. In a paid for hosting environment this will typically be Apache Tomcat. This is open source. I'd expect any decent Tomcat hosting company to have a setup where deployment is no more difficult than PHP. If you want to look into basic JSP hosting look for shared (rather than private) Tomcat instance options.
for first shot - memory, i think php will be extremely happy with 64MB, JSP starts with 40MB up to gigabytes depending on chosen technologies

To the editor:
Our country has a vital democratic tradition of holding our leaders accountable. In the mid-term election of 2006 and the presidential election of 2008, a Republican administration was held accountable for its disastrous warmongering that cost our country so many lives and so much debt without anything to show for it. Americans hoped for change, particularly on foreign policy.
Looking back over the last four years, this has regrettably not occurred. In American foreign policy we have seen essentially a third term for George W. Bush: the pointless and expensive Iraq War dragged on, an ineffective troop surge in Afghanistan, an unconstitutional and unproductive war in Libya, and, as the New York Times has reported in detail, a long "kill list" that President Barack Obama creepily relishes using to assassinate individuals abroad. At one point the president even had a U.S. citizen assassinated.
In 2008 we hoped for change domestically as well. George W. Bush had bailed out the big banks to the tune of $700 billion, even though it was their recklessness that was responsible for the financial crisis. But the big financial firms backed Obama's campaign in 2008, and as president he did not disappoint, stocking his administration with Wall Street insiders and letting them dominate policymaking, as reporter Ron Suskind has detailed. The crony capitalism of the Obama administration continues to this day with "quantitative easing," a fancy term for the government buying securities from the big banks, which is a boon for the financial sector but ultimately fleeces the rest of us with the resulting inflation.
Obama complains about Republican obstructionism, but he had a comfortable congressional majority for most of his time in office, and has been able to run yearly deficits of more than $1 trillion each year he has been in office. Obama's massive overspending has unfortunately produced woeful results: when you add in long-term discouraged workers (not officially counted since 1994) the unemployment rate in the United States today is 23 percent, on a par with Greece or the U.S. during the Great Depression. We've taken other steps backward: the bloated stimulus from 2009 even undid the welfare reforms of Bill Clinton, exploding the number of people receiving public assistance.
Finally, the 2008 Obama campaign rhetoric of "we are all Americans" has turned into its opposite, slicing and dicing Americans into narrow groups for electoral purposes. Playing one group of citizens off of another in order to win a narrow victory at the polls is cynical partisanship at its most tired and distasteful. Front and center in Obama's intentionally divisive election campaign is an appeal to single women who prioritize, or so Obama's campaign thinks, not having to pay for their own contraception, abortions and sterilizations. With all the problems the country as a whole faces, believing this to be the top concern of single women seems pretty demeaning.
As a country, we need to move on from all this. Voters need to hold Obama accountable.

If I find an animal trapped under a box on shabbat, is there anything wrong with letting it out?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Though I have been unable to locate a good copy of the Mishna Berura (316-25) that he quotes, this document does say that there is no issue with freeing a trapped animal.
This is also asserted by the book "39 Melochos". (There's a footnote there, but Google Books won't let me see it.)
This is also stated by "The Concise Code of Jewish Law" with no source. He notes that one should not touch the animal, as it might be muktzeh.
Chabad.org, in a footnote to the Rambam's Hilchos Shabbos, brings a Magen Avraham that says (and a Maggid Mishnah that implies) that freeing an animal on Shabbos is completely permitted provided one does not touch it, since it is muktzeh.
The Shulchan Aruch HaRav 316:12 (quoting the above Magid Mishnah and Magen Avraham) states:

What type of vocal exercises should I be looking for?
Are there any temporary influences to the vocal range, like having had a drink?
What type of vocal exercises should I be looking for?
Are there any temporary influences to the vocal range, like having had a drink?
If what you want is to improve your vocal range, I would recommend these exercises:
Finally, remember to take into account your physical limitations. You might be able to widen up your vocal range a bit, but there's always going to be a limit. Good luck!
Always warm up in the middle of your range and gradually approach the limits of your range with upward and downward moving repetition of motifs.
e.g. C3 D3 E3 D3 C3--- | D3 E3 F3 E3 D3--- | E3 F3 G3 F3 E3--- | and so on...
Even a single warm up with ascending and descending exercises will temporarily increase your range for a time.
Exercises that cross vocal registers are also helpful (and arguably even more important)
Similar to humming, another type of practice that makes you comfortable while singing is praticing akaras, eekaras, oookaras, like you sing aa...a....in akaara practice, eeee....eeeeee in eekara and ooo....oooo.... in oookara practice. As all languages cover the words with these or any one of these syllable or sound, this enables singing all kinds of langauge in the world. This has worked out the best for me.

These extra-wide footpegs from Fastway are quite possibly the largest footpegs on the market for the full line of BMW GS motorcycles. Made of high strength billet aluminum, the pegs are both lightweight, and super strong. These footpegs are designed to give you the maximum grip while riding off road, and an extra large platform for standing on. The special cutout designs and chamfer help clear out mud and dirt buildup that would prevent proper traction.
These footpegs come complete with all hardware needed for installation, as well as two different sizes of traction cleats so you can custom tailor the level of grip. Fastway pegs also feature a height-adjustable collar that allow you to lower the pegs about a half of an inch, and camber bolts that allow you to adjust their angle.
The Fastway Adventure footpegs come in 5 different finishes: clear anodized (silver), black anodized, blue anodized, red anodized, and orange anodized. Select your color from the drop-down menu above.
NOTE: Does not fit R1200GS Liquid Cooled models, 2013-on

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.

I see two ways to interpret this grammatically.
An example of the second form:
The ambiguity comes from the fact that "save data" can mean different things:
Without more context, it's hard to be certain; but I'm guessing that what he means is this:
In other words, I'm guessing that it's "{could have} {saved data}", with saved being a participial modifier for data, not "{could have saved} data".

Is the tournament open for "anyone" or "everyone"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There's a subtle distinction, as noted that's likely unimportant -- unless you're at all concerned about subconscious reactions from speakers of American English.
"Anyone" does have some negative connotations and usages attached to it that people don't necessarily think about:
For your purposes either would probably be fine, but "everyone" will be perceived as more inclusive.
The distinction is not important in this case. Everyone means every person, without exception and anyone means any person, without discrimination.
Usually a tournament would be "open to everyone" or "open to anyone".
To me there is a marginal difference that "open to everyone" sounds slightly more friendly or more welcoming than "open to anyone".
If you are suggesting you would be happy with one (any one) response, which could hypothetically be the case if the condition is that 'there are no restrictions: anyone can participate', then you can use anyone. You don't care who comes.
On the other hand, as may be more likely, if you would like as many as possibly can to participate, you'd be saying everyone. You do want everyone to come.
This is based on how the reader would more generally perceive.
"every" as in "each and every" is a reference to elements in a set and can be taken as the intention to include all elements in the set; "any" is more a universal concept and implies no distinction at all.

The Criminal Justice and Criminology Program offers undergraduate coursework intended to provide a thorough understanding of the criminal justice system and its interrelation with society. A foundation curriculum is offered to assist students planning to enter graduate school, law school, research, government service, or social services including law enforcement, corrections, probation/parole, juvenile justice, and victim services.
In addition to the undergraduate program, graduate study is offered at the Master's level. Our graduate program is designed to prepare pre-service students for criminal justice careers and to enhance the knowledge and skills of individuals who have already initiated their careers in the fields of law enforcement, corrections, or legal studies. The graduate program also is designed to prepare our graduates for further graduate or professional education.
Established in 1974, the Department of Criminal Justice is among the oldest in the state of West Virginia and the first to offer both bachelors and masters degrees in criminal justice. In 2010, Criminology was added to the department title to reflect the importance of theory and research. Finally, in 2013, the Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology (CJC) merged with the Department of Integrated Science & Technology (IST) to further strengthen the already existing collaboration between the two departments, especially in the areas of digital forensics, computer crime, and forensic science. Today, CJC is one of six programs under the umbrella of IST, making IST one of the largest and most dynamic departments in the College of Science at Marshall University.

The term criminal justice refers to an area of knowledge concerned with understanding and controlling crime through the scientific administration of police, courts, and correctional agencies. Criminology is a related, yet distinct area of study focusing on the causes of criminal behavior through the use of social scientific methodology. Criminal justice and criminology are interdisciplinary fields that draw upon the knowledge bases of sociology, psychology, law, public policy and other related disciplines to develop insights into the causes and prevention of criminal behavior.

The Struggle to Survive in England
The finish to this English Premier League season won't hold a candle to the 2011-12 campaign, when Manchester City came from behind with two goals in the waning moments of its final game to snatch the title. This year, Manchester United clinched the championship early last week with four games to play.
There is a four-team scrap for the three remaining spots in Champions League for next season, but the real drama is at the bottom of the table, where several teams could still get relegated from the Premier League by falling to 18th place in the 20-team league. Reading and Queens Park Rangers already know they'll be playing in the second-tier Championship come August.
The adage in English soccer is that 40 points guarantees escape from relegation, but usually the EPL isn't nearly that competitive. (Clubs get three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss.) Since 1995-96, when the league contracted to 20 teams, a club needed 40 or more points to guarantee an EPL spot just four times. The average number of points needed has been 37 over the past 17 seasons.
So what's it going to take to survive in 2013? Wigan sits in 18th place at the moment, stuck on 35 points with matches against Swansea City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa left. Sunderland is barely ahead with 37 points, which just might be the magic number again this year.

"What is the least amount work you must issue onto a silver ingot with a mass of 38 kg at 26 meters depth to bring it to the surface?"
I'm not sure how to do this one. Surely it depends on the volume of the ingot, right? Archimedes' principle says that the buoyancy of an object is its volume times the density of the fluid times the gravitational constant. We only have two of those, so I can't find the lifting force. This is how my formula looks like (Since the force is constant across all depths):
$F_L = $Lifting force
Force required $= mg - F_L$
Force required $= 38kg * g - (1000kg/m^3 * g * V)$
Work $=$ Force required * distance
Work $= 38kg * g - (1000kg/m^3 * g * V) * 26m$
Volume is still unknown, so how do I solve this one?

In a company setting, what are the advantages of drawbacks of prioritizing tasks by revenue?
In the article Entrepeneur - Five Simple Ways to Boost Productivity, I read:
Delegate tasks that don't generate revenue.
Bookkeeping, payroll and copywriting are three tasks entrepreneurs often try to handle themselves to save money. But they often aren't qualified or equipped to handle these tasks and end up losing valuable time that could be spent on revenue-generating activities, as Hopkins learned. "They end up doing what I call lower-value tasks that others could be doing for them," says Audrey Thomas, a Minneapolis-based productivity coach. Business owners should realize, Thomas says, that outsourcing these activities allows them to devote more time to making money.
The clear advantage, is that you of course generate more direct revenue. However, prioritizing in terms of revenue also leaves a lot of low revenue and non revenue tasks waiting at the bottom. I believe this can't be good; so, what are the drawbacks of prioritizing tasks by the amount of revenue gained?

Currently I have Ubuntu 11.10 as an OS and I want Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I made a bootable USB stick with the program Startup disk creator. Everything went well (I chose the language, and then I chose 'Install'), the purple screen with the title 'Ubuntu' came up and it started loading too.
After some time black screen came up with white letters. Last sentence was something like:
Panic occurred, switching back to text.
I tried it several times, the same thing happens. I tried clicking on Try Ubuntu from USB too but it didn't work either.

I've somehow managed to brew a bloody lovely bitter (for my first time) in a pressurised keg but now i've started drinking it, is there any kind of best before? Or do I literally need to drink 10 pints a day over the next 4 days? (not such a bad thing I guess)
Assuming you keep the beer under CO2 and purged the oxygen from the keg, it will keep quite a while. Several months at the very least, and it could be years. However, if you serve it "real ale" style without CO2 you are limited to a few days in peak condition.
Nope! In general, beer will get better with age. Be leisurely, and as long as your sanitation was good, it will be even better in a month or six.
Very generic rules for aging:
So, for example, you could age a barleywine or imperial russian stout for years because of the alcohol content. But, you wouldn't want to age something like an IPA too long because the hop aromas that make the style will degrade with age.

I am trying to create an offset polyline using arcpy, identical to the function in ArcObjects (constructoffset). After trying to access ArcObjects in arcpy, which I found difficult for those not well-versed in COM languages, and after much searching for functionality in the regular geoprocessing toolboxes, I discovered that this functionality seems to only exist in ArcObjects. There may be ways to program this functionality in arcpy using trig, but that seems really hard. Essentially, the product I'd like is an offset polyline that preserves all original geometry and curvature. Simply using a SearchCursor on the input and building a new feature class based on its geometry requires some algorithm I don't know. This is because without an algorithm based on slope, etc., a one-size-fits-all addition or subtraction will not preserve an offset shape for all slopes. Any help?
We came up with this technique at work that uses geoprocessing tools to do the job:
First off, make sure your line segs have unique IDs.
Voila! Offset lines without ArcObjects.
Here is the code to do the same in arcpy

FALL RIVER — Three men, one of them armed with a gun, barged into a Third Street apartment on Tuesday afternoon and robbed the tenant of his prescription painkillers, police reported.
The victim, 56, told police that the assailants somehow knew that he had filled his Percocet prescription that day, Fall River Detective JD Costa said.
The victim, who lives on the 300 block of Third Street, told Officer Matthew Rezendes that he was returning home just after 1 p.m. when three Hispanic men forced their way into his house as he was closing the door. The man said one of the assailants put a handgun to his head and demanded pills, Costa said.
The assailants searched the apartment and took the man's Percocet tablets, as well as his cash, wallet and cellphone. Police officers searched the neighborhood and found the man's empty pill bottle on Spring Street, Costa said.
No injuries were reported, according to police.
Anyone with information is asked to call Rezendes in the Fall River Police Uniform Division at 508-324-2802 or the police department's anonymous tips line at 508-672-TIPS.

Caroline Kennedy Seen as U.S.'s Next Japan Envoy
Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, is expected to be tapped by President Barack Obama as the next ambassador to Japan, according to a person familiar with the selection.
Ms. Kennedy, 55 years old, would succeed Ambassador John V. Roos, who has served in the position since August 2009. Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president.
The White House wouldn't confirm that Ms. Kennedy is in the running for the post.
While briefing reporters on Monday, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in reply to a question about Ms. Kennedy's prospects that he has "no personnel announcements to make."
If she does become the envoy to Japan, Ms. Kennedy would step into the post at a moment when tensions between China and Japan are rising. The two nations have been arguing over control of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.
One expert on Japan said that Ms. Kennedy would bring to the job undeniable strengths.
"It seems to me that when you want an ambassador, two very important assets are proximity to the president—which she clearly has—and visibility," said Mireya Solis, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "There has been a pattern in the past of appointing high-profile people to this post and that [Ms. Kennedy's nomination] would fit into the pattern. This is a complicated region, but she has those two very important assets."
Ms. Kennedy, together with her late uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, gave Mr. Obama a coveted endorsement in the 2008 Democratic primary fight. With both Hillary Clinton and Mr. Obama competing for the Kennedy family endorsement, Ms. Kennedy and her uncle chose to back Mr. Obama's insurgent candidacy.
In an opinion column in the New York Times in January 2008, Ms. Kennedy wrote: "Over the years, I've been deeply moved by the people who've told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama."
The White House hasn't disclosed when it would announce Mr. Obama's slate of new ambassadors. But the White House has made calls to various candidates saying the president intends to nominate them pending a background check, according to another person familiar with the selection process. A message left with the office of Ms. Kennedy's husband, Edwin Schlossberg, was forwarded to Ms. Kennedy's office. It wasn't returned.
Japan's government hasn't received any formal notice of an appointment, chief spokesman Yoshihide Suga said early Tuesday in a regular press briefing. "However, President Kennedy is a very familiar name in Japan, and we'll be watching closely for the final decision," he added.
The White House is still trying to match candidates with countries where they might serve, and it is possible Ms. Kennedy could be chosen for a different country. One other possibility is Canada.

Using Watir, is there a way to access an element without attributes?
For example:
I'd like to avoid using xpath, but if that's the only way it's cool.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Using Watir, is there a way to access an element without attributes?
For example:
I'd like to avoid using xpath, but if that's the only way it's cool.
Disregarding the non-WATIR issues of having tags in the first place, or requesting unique attributes from your developers (or yourself), you can always access an element via its parent elements, or by index.
For example: Text
You can work through however many unique elements you need to before reaching the child span element, without using Xpath. Of course, you only need one unique parent element to reach that specific child element, and you work down from that to the child.
Another example, assuming it is the nth span on the page: @browser.span(:index => n)
The by-index approach is very brittle and prone to breaking when any update is made to the page, however.
If it has text:
If you know only part of the text you can use regular expression:
There are basically three ways to address this particular challenge. Zeljko has addressed the first which is based on what is inside the element such as known text. Adam addresses the most common way, what is enclosing or containing the element I'll address the third way, which is what is enclosed-by or beside the element.
If you have a known element that is inside the one you want, then you can start with that and use the
For example Lets say you have a table with multiple rows of data where one column is unique part numbers, and another column has "add to cart" links. Now, if you want to add a specific part to your cart, you could use Index combined with the text 'add to cart' using code like this based on it being the 5th link with that specific text
But this is brittle because as soon as the results change, (which can happen a lot with live data) your part is no longer the 5th one in that table, and your test would break. You would need some verification you've found the correct part and not something else on that row. However, in watir you can do something like this:
In the case of a table cell, the parent of the cell will usually be a table row, and thus in plain english this translates to 'find the cell with 'part no 123-45' in it, and then in that same row find and click on the 'add to cart' link. (although I'm guessing you figured that out just by reading the code.)
You can use this to get any 'sibling' or even just the 'parent' itself where there's some unique element next to or within the object you need to interact with.
You can probably do something similar to that with Xpath, but good luck making any sense out of it when reading the code five weeks later. This is one reason I vastly prefer Watir and Watir-Webdriver vs Selenium.

When Bentley and Rolls-Royce were split by BMW and VW in 1998, there were fears that neither firms' ethos would survive the fragmentation. Those were allayed in 2003 when the Continental GT appeared, with potentially huge pace and majestic looks.
The four-door Flying Spur and drop-top GTC were introduced in 2005. In 2009, the limited-edition 621bhp Supersports showed that Bentley was still capable of producing something resembling the most unlikely super-fast bruisers it was famous for.
Some will find it comforting to think of Bentley's implied heavyweight sporting elegance as an intransigent part of Britain's automotive landscape: as evocative as the thwack of willow on leather, the smell of a village pub or the peal of a church bell.
But, in truth, the company is no more resistant to the preoccupations of the 21st century than any other cultural benchmark. And so, like limited-overs cricket or gastropubs, Bentley has moved with the times and, with the considerable help of its German cheque writer, Volkswagen, introduced the green and pleasant version of the Continental GTC that it promised in 2008.
Of course, some things don't change. The continued fitment of the 6.0-litre W12 engine is proof of that. Bentley may have delivered the 40 per cent improvement in economy and emissions that it said it would, but that hefty reduction still permitted the fitment of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine from Audi that produces 500bhp. The question is: are those 500 four-ringed geldings capable of mimicking Bentley shire horses aboard the mobile amphitheatre that is the GTC?

Motivated by algebraic geometry, I've come up with a purely combinatorial definition within the theory of matroids. The question is: is this concept known?
If you like matroids but not algebraic geometry, skip to the definition below.
Let $n\choose k$ denote the collection of all $k$-element subsets of $[1,n]$ (rather than the number thereof). We can and will identify this collection both with the set of $T$-fixed points on the $k$-Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$, where $T$ is the $n$-torus that acts (unfaithfully), and also with the set of Plücker coordinates.
Let $C \subseteq {n\choose k}$ be a subcollection. Then, following Neil White, we can define a subscheme $\Pi_C$ of $Gr(k,n)$ by killing all Plücker coordinates $p_S, S \notin C$. This subscheme is $T$-invariant, and its $T$-fixed points are exactly $C$.
Easy fact: if $\Pi_C$ is irreducible, then $C$ is a matroid. The non-Pappus matroid shows the converse is false. (This is my own motivation for matroids -- they serve as combinatorial stand-ins for subvarieties of Grassmannians.)
I'm interested in the smooth points of $\Pi_M$, where $M$ is a matroid. Perhaps the most efficient way to describe $M$ is by listing its connected flats $F$, and for each, giving the rank. (Saying that $rank(F) \leq r$ means that for each $S$ that intersects $F$ too much, $p_F = 0$. I'm pretty sure that the connected flats gives the shortest list of $F$s to give all the $S$.)
If $M \subseteq {n\choose k}$ is a matroid, call $\lambda \in M$ a smooth base if for any connected flat $F$, $rank(F) = |\lambda \cap F|$.
Note that $\geq$ is required for $\lambda$ to be a base at all. It's pretty easy to prove that $\lambda$ is a smooth point of $\Pi_M$ iff $\lambda$ is a smooth base of $M$ in the sense above.
Is this concept known to matroid theorists? Is this characterization of smooth points known to anybody?
Example: let $M$ be the Schubert matroid for a $\lambda \in {n\choose k}$, i.e. for each $i \notin \lambda, i+1 \in \lambda$, we have a connected flat $[1,i]$ with rank $|[1,i] \cap \lambda|$. Then $\lambda$ is a smooth base of $M$. And indeed, $\lambda$ is the point in the Bruhat cell whose closure is the Schubert variety $\Pi_M$.

6 Inexplicably Hostile Interviews With Famous Musicians
In researching my new novel, The Love Song of Jonny Valentine, about an 11-year-old pop star, I watched a number of interviews with musicians. Most performers, like the media-friendly kid in my book, are happy to be getting airtime and don't want to alienate their fans. But then there are those who, for whatever reason -- an off-putting comment, a generally grumpy demeanor, the fact that they're opening that night for Sinbad -- are a little less agreeable. Sort of like ...
#6. Justin Bieber vs. Mojo in the Morning
Justin Bieber's recent spate of pot-smoking, torso-flaunting petulance is either a full-blown meltdown or the behavior of a pretty typical teenager. But it wasn't long ago that Bieber dominated the world by being as pleasant as it's possible to be when millions of crazed Beliebers document your every move.
But in this interview with Detroit radio show Mojo in the Morning, the cracks began to appear in the Bieb's facade. He first gets upset at 2:45, when Mojo tries to pay him a genuine compliment: When Mojo first heard Bieber's new single, "Boyfriend," he thought it was Justin Timberlake, whom he admires. Bieber gets defensive. "That's crazy, because our voices sound nothing alike," he says. "Saying I sound like someone else is not really a compliment." One assumes that Bieber might have been equally indignant at a comparison to John Lennon.
Timberlake is a sellout, Biebs is from the streets.
Mojo assures him that he meant it as a tribute and tries to smooth things over, but the damage has been done. At 6:40, Mojo jokingly asks if Bieber is worried about Harry from One Direction hanging out with his mom, since this Harry fellow apparently likes older women. That might seem like an awkward line of questioning for any grown man who's not a drill instructor to take with a teenager. But as Mojo explains later, Bieber had made the exact same joke about Harry in a previous interview.
That doesn't stop Bieber from getting pissed. "I think you should worry about me around your mom," the 18-year-old retorts. Mojo takes the opportunity to let him know that his own mother is actually dead, at which point Bieber hangs up on him. Never say never when it comes to hypocrisy!
#5. Bob Dylan vs. Time Magazine
On Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of the U.K., captured in the documentary Don't Look Back, the raspy crooner spends a lot of time messing with the insatiable press, sometimes goofily. But in a terrible mismatch, Time magazine sent Horace Judson, a historian of molecular biology, to interview the voice of his generation. The folksinger -- a label he disdains -- goes on an extended, semi-articulate rant against Time and the mainstream media for peddling falsehoods. It's sort of like a college freshman who's just discovered Noam Chomsky and come home for Thanksgiving to tell his family how disgustingly bourgeois they are. Judson remains unflappable as Dylan gets more inflamed, boasting that he's as good a singer as early 20th century Italian tenor Enrico Caruso.
What was Judson's impression of the concert, which he went on to attend that evening? "My opinion then and now," he later said, "was that the music was unpleasant, the lyrics inflated, and Dylan a self-indulgent, whining showoff." And yet he loved Dylan's Christian phase, so go figure ...
#4. Vanilla Ice vs. MTV (with Jon Stewart, Janeane Garofalo, Denis Leary, and Chris Kattan)
In 1999, MTV produced a special called Twenty-Five Lame in which they counted down the 25 worst-ever music videos, as voted on by fans. The top 10 videos would be banned forever from the channel, with the symbolic destruction of a videocassette by hammer, lighter, or blender. They invited Robert Matthew Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice, to destroy his own entry, "Ice Ice Baby," at No. 9.
Before we get to what happened, let's take a moment to appreciate Vanilla's caricatured embodiment of late '90s fashion.
Dennis Leary remained undouched.
Goatee and extra-long sideburns, backward baseball cap, oversized Dr. Evil T-shirt, and baggy shorts with sneakers. All that's missing is some No Fear apparel and an oversized surfboard bearing the inscription "It takes two hands to wax a Big Johnson."
After being forced to watch the video, Vanilla asks for something more potent than the hammer he's been given, and Jon Stewart unwisely hands him a baseball bat. At 1:25, the rapper not only attacks the cassette, but metamorphoses into an out-of-control toddler with advanced motor skills, trashing the entire set and check-swinging at Stewart's head while issuing awkward, disingenuous apologies. He also attacks the cardboard cutout of Gerardo, rapper of "Rico Suave." Repeated attempts at appeasing him with Chris Kattan's shouts of "Vanilla! No, Vanilla!" fail to quell his oddly apologetic rage -- a strange mixture of anger and regret matched only by that of moviegoers who had paid to see him star in the 1991 film Cool as Ice.
Chris Kattan was never seen again.

There was the following sentence in Maureen Dowd's article titled, "The spies who didn't love her" in New York Times (March 11).
Barack Obama-- vowing to clean up the excesses and Constitutional corrosion of W. and Cheney, will now have to clean up the excesses and Constitutional corrosion in his own administration. And he'd better get out from between two ferns and get in between the warring Congressional Democrats and administration officials - - because it looks as if the C.I.A. is continuing to run amok to cover up what happened in the years W. and Vice encouraged it to run amok. Langley needs a come-to-Jesus moment — pronto.
As I was unfamiliar with the meaning of the word, "come-to-Jesus moment, I checked CED, OED, and Merriam Webster." None of them carries this word.
However, online dictionary site, weblio provides the definition of "come-to-Jesus" as:
- to experience or display a conversion or recommitment to Christianity or to undergo a related ritual, especially public confession of one's sins or weaknesses.
- to become committed or display commitment to a cause.
And Dictjuggler defines it as 'unwilling / reluctant (to do),' e.g. a come-to-Jesus meeting.
I understand Langley is the CIA headquarters. But what does "Langley needs a come-to-Jesus moment" exactly mean? Does it mean simply a 'trial,' or 'investigation'?
Is "come-to-Jesus" (moment / meeting / stage) a popular phrase? Can I say "I feel like come-to-Jesus meeting to present the annual sales plan to management for their review?"

What machines in a typical gym would help improve my strength with regards to lifting, carrying and so on? I take it I should be looking at improving muscles in my arms and upper back?

That machine is called a barbell and you need to deadlift it.
Deadlifting is not something you can start doing without learning it first, like you might with a machine. But no machine can teach to how to lift heavy weights without screwing up your back, learning how to deadlift will teach you exactly that.
Find yourself a powerlifter or trainer at your gym, have them show you how the deadlift works, and let them check and correct your form. The basics are easy enough to learn though, you can do that from a book or online.
Of course, you can deadlift anything you want, like kettlebells, instead of barbells. The farmers walk would be a great complementary exercise to the deadlift for your purposes.
In addition to the deadlift, you would probably want to learn how to sqat as well. Sqat is another great overall conditioning movement that will leave you feeling stronger and more capable at the end of the day. Deadlifting and farmers walks are a bit advanced, especially for someone who is not sure what a shoulder press does, be careful you don't injure yourself.

The word Satz can mean, among other things:
- Clause: "A verb along with its subject and their modifiers."
- Sentence: "A grammatically complete series of words consisting of a subject and predicate, even if one or the other is implied, and typically beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop."
This can lead to problems when discussing languages. Today, I failed the assignment "Schreiben Sie einen Satz", by writing a sentence instead of a clause. What other words could be used instead of Satz for these meanings in order to avoid this problem?
