The nation's attention is rightfully riveted on Ferguson, Missouri, where residents are reeling from days of protests and riots.
Touched off in the wake of the police shooting of a young black man under ambiguous circumstances, at best, the civic disorder has been marked by not one, but two kinds of activity that make Americans profoundly uncomfortable.
First, there is the looting and other criminality. These acts all too predictably ramp up in cities when chaos increases, regardless of whether a police presence does, as well. No injustice justifies such lawlessness, and innocent business owners must not be punished for the actions of a police officer.
At the same time, a growing number of Americans are losing faith in law enforcement as the guarantor of civic peace. The militarization of local police forces has quickly become a widely acknowledged problem.
Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, has brought the issue into sharp relief. Protesters chant "Don't shoot," while law enforcement officials, decked out in camouflage, fire tear gas canisters and point startlingly massive weaponry at unarmed American civilians. These officers don't even look like riot police. They look more like an invading army.
As one self-described veteran of the 82nd Airborne told an editor at Business Insider, "We rolled lighter than that in an actual war zone."
Americans accurately sense that more than optics are at work here. It's one thing for a police officer, in the normal course of his duties, to wind up using excessive force. It's another for an entire force to transform into a much more menacing and alien presence.
Missouri's governor wisely took responsibility for policing Ferguson away from the militarized units and put it in the hands of the highway patrol.
Now it's time for Washington to roll back the militarization of local police by cutting off the supply of equipment that has no place in law enforcement. State and local officials have a role as well in restoring the bonds between police and the communities they serve.

Buying a Computer: Things to Consider
Ready to Upgrade?
- Choose Your First Laptop
- Find the Best Laptops
- Find a New Computer
- Touch-Screen Technology
- What is an Ultrabook™ Convertible?
- How RAM Works
It used to be, you could get by without owning a computer. Not so anymore. Today, you have to have a computer to perform basic daily functions, from connecting with family and friends via text, e-mail, and video chat, to accessing online school content and e-mailing teachers, to getting your entertainment fix by watching movies or listening to music.Read more >
It used to be that the main difference between computers was speed. Now, there are other significant features that differentiate between good, better, and best. Although there's an ever-growing selection of laptops on the market today, deciding which one is right for you is relatively easy.Read more >
For so many years, the standard computer has been a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and some kind of tower or box. Now, there are other options that might fit you better than a desktop computer.Read more >
Let's face it: from self-check-in machines at airports to our crucial ATM visits, we're already getting used to touch-screen technology. What is possible with laptops and tablets that have the same technology?Read more >
Few people immediately think of touch-screen laptops when they hear the word "convertible." Most of us still picture fancy cars with removable tops anytime we hear the word. But these days, convertible has taken on a completely new meaning.Read more >
What is computer RAM, how does it work, and how does it support a computer's processor? What difference does RAM really make?Read more >
Compare and Consider
The device you choose to run the newest operating system is an important decision. If portability is your priority, then you're looking at the tablet vs. laptop comparison. Of course, with the new breed of convertibles that combine aspects of both tablets and laptops, the choice is more about finding a device that's compatible with you.Read more >
Laptop? Desktop? These days, you have more options than ever before–each with its own distinct advantages. But which is perfect for you?Read more >
Many consider themselves die-hard PC users–while others are fully dedicated "Mac" people. So, which are you? And why?Read more >
As new breeds of incredibly fast, lightweight computers become indispensible in our daily lives, wearing the crown of thinnest laptop is the new gold standard of mobility and performance.Read more >
In our "bigger is better" world, do you equate small laptops with computers that aren't really up to snuff? Technology has progressed significantly in the last few years, and small laptops aren't the same as we used to think.Read more >

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Funeral services have been set for the Junction City family who perished in a plane crash on their way home from vacation last week.
A funeral service for the Bramlage family will be held Monday, June 18th at 10 AM at Junction City Middle School.
A vigil will be held the night before at 7 PM at Saint Francis Xavier Church in Junction City where the Bramlages were parishioners.
Ron Bramlage, 45, Becky Bramlage, 43, and their children- 15-year-old Brandon, 13-year-old Boston ,11-year-old Beau and 8-year-old Roxanne, died when their private aircraft crashed in a remote area near Lake Wales, Florida Thursday, June 7, 2012.
They were traveling from the Bahamas back to their Junction City home when the single engine plane went down in a swampy area shortly after noon. Ron Bramlage was the pilot.
Pieces of the aircraft were scattered over a four-mile area in rough terrain.
The National Transportation Safety Board has started its investigation into the crash.
Ron Bramlage was a prominent philanthropist and businessman in Junction City. Becky. Bramlage was the President of the Board of Education for Geary County USD 475.
The couple were graduates of Kansas State University, and members of the K-State Alumni Association, President's Club, Foundation Trustees and Ahearn Fund.
Ron was the grandson of the late Fred Bramlage, a 1935 graduate of K-State and Junction City businessman. Fred Bramlage was the lead contributor to the construction of Bramlage Coliseum, a multi-purpose arena that opened in 1988 and is home to the K-State men's and women's basketball teams.
Grief counseling is being offered by Geary County USD 475 to students, staff members and members of the community. Counselors will be available Tuesday, June 12th from 8:30-12:30 PM at Lincoln Elementary, the Freshman Success Academy and Junction City Middle School.
"We've had about 60 kids that were involved in counseling that was on site. But our counselors have been involved in counseling and providing services almost 24/7 so they've been receiving phone calls, they've been talking to people. They've had a very rigorous schedule just visiting with people," said Ron Walker, Superintendent of Geary County USD 475.
Walker says if the need for counseling continues, they'll continue to offer the service as long as necessary. School district officials will assess whether or not counseling services will be extended on Tuesday afternoon.
Father Al Brungardt, pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Junction City, says relatives wanted to have the funeral services in Junction City because Mr. and Mrs. Bramlage were devoted to the community and it is also where their children were raised and attended school. "This was home for them," he said.
"We wanted to do everything possible to make certain that the services are held in our city. This was such an integral part in the lives of Ron and Becky and what better way to pay tribute to the family than to make available a site that they've both loved. We'll have crews out there and we're trying to gather up volunteers to help direct traffic and help seat people so we're going to have an all out effort to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible," Ron Walker said of having the funeral at Junction City Middle School.

The decline and fall of America
A few days after the Nov. 6 election, the very talented Michael Ramirez published a political cartoon that perhaps conveyed a more profound meaning than he anticipated. He depicted a pair of hands extending from star-studded sleeves (presumably from a mendicant Uncle Sam), which were held in supplication, as though waiting for a handout or petitioning voters to relinquish more of their earnings to the federal government. There's another way of interpreting this image, however. The hands appeared not only pathetic and a bit contemptible, but also aged and withered, as though belonging to an old man. In which case, this representation captured perfectly the situation of the United States as it enters the second decade of the 21st century: America is getting older and is entering a state of decline.
No one understood the dynamics of aging societies approaching decrepitude better than Mancur Olson, an economist who taught at the University of Maryland until his death in 1998. Olson's crowning achievement was a book published in 1982 titled, "The Rise and Decline of Nations." Olson argued that the proliferation of interest groups eventually spells doom for the societies they inhabit. And proliferate they have, from 6,000 in 1959 to 22,000 at the beginning of the 21st century, according to the Encyclopedia of Associations.

Scully Was Nearly a Yankee
A Move That Could Have Altered the Course of Baseball History
Los Angeles
The greatest free agent the New York Yankees ever failed to sign was a skinny redhead from the Bronx. He spent two years as an outfielder on his college team, hit only one home run and never played again. And he ended up in the Hall of Fame.
Today, Vin Scully is the voice and face of the Los Angeles Dodgers. At age 85, he's in his 64th consecutive season as the team's play-by-play announcer, a record streak for a broadcaster with one team. He is widely regarded as the greatest sportscaster of all time.
But nearly half a century ago, he faced a decision that could have dramatically altered the course of his career. Like so many marquee players that would elect free agency in the decades that followed, Scully had to decide: Should I sign with the Yankees?
When the Dodgers make their first regular-season visit to Yankee Stadium in franchise history Tuesday night, Scully will be watching from home. He travels only to road games in California and Arizona. But in an interview at Dodger Stadium last week, Scully recalled the job offer that would have brought him back to his home city permanently.
The year was 1964. Scully was in New York with the Dodgers, who were playing the Mets. Jim Bealle, an executive at the advertising agency BBDO with close ties to the Yankees, invited him to lunch.
At the time, corporate sponsors—and by extension, the admen they employed—held heavy sway over teams' broadcast operations. Eleven years earlier, when Scully, at age 25, became the youngest man to call the World Series, it was an executive from the ad agency Maxon who called to tell Scully the job was his.
Now Bealle had some news to share: The Yankees were looking to replace Mel Allen, their longtime play-by-play announcer, at season's end.
"He said, 'Would you be interested if there was an opening?' " Scully said. It was not a formal offer, and there was never any direct communication between Scully and the Yankees. But Scully said it was understood by both men that the job would be his if he wanted it. "It was a very thinly veiled offer," he said.
There was good reason for the Yankees to want Scully in their booth. He wasn't just a star. He was a New Yorker through and through: born in the Bronx, raised in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan and educated at Fordham University. His Dodgers broadcasting debut came in 1950, when they were still the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Had the Yankees offered him the job several years earlier, Scully might have been interested. In 1958, the Dodgers' first season in California, the team finished in seventh place in the National League. And Scully was homesick.
Later that year, when the Baltimore Colts played the New York Giants for the NFL championship at Yankee Stadium, Scully watched on television from his new home. He felt out of place.
"I remember it was cold and everything in New York, and here I was in California," he said. "And I closed all the blinds in the room so I wouldn't know it was sunny and blue skies."
But by 1964, the Dodgers had won two championships in Los Angeles, and Scully was becoming a local icon. In a profile published that season, Sports Illustrated wrote, "Scully has become as much a part of the Los Angeles scene as the freeways and the smog."
Above all else, Scully remained deeply loyal to Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley, who ignored pressure from locals to hire a broadcaster they were more familiar with when the team moved to Los Angeles.
Recalling his response at the lunch with Bealle, Scully said, "I said, 'I don't think so, Jim, because the Dodgers have been so good to me. And I feel I'm so much a part of the family. I don't think I could ever leave.' "
Forty-nine years later, a long line of Yankees broadcasters can be thankful he never did. "I would have been thrilled growing up listening to him, but I don't think I would have my job right now," said Michael Kay, a longtime Yankees broadcaster and New York native. "He would still be doing Yankees games."
Nonetheless, the Yankees are a thread that connects many of the most memorable moments of Scully's life. Though he grew up a fan of the New York Giants, one of Scully's earliest baseball memories is sitting in the Yankee Stadium bleachers and watching Joe DiMaggio in 1939.
The Stadium was the site of Scully's first World Series telecast in 1953. It was where the Dodgers won their only championship in Brooklyn—in 1955, with Scully behind the microphone. He called all eight World Series matchups between the Yankees and Dodgers between 1952 and 1981.
None had a bigger impact on him than the 1963 Series. As usual, he and Allen alternated play-by-play duties. In the seventh inning of Game 4, Allen famously lost his voice while calling Mickey Mantle's game-tying home run.
"Here he is, national spotlight, big game, and he can't talk," Scully said. "I was tapped on the shoulder to take over. And it really broke my heart. It made such a tremendous impression on me. To have that happen to the voice of the Yankees on a home run by Mickey Mantle in the World Series and to have it hit him then, it just showed me, we're all living by a thread."
Yet Scully isn't just hanging on. He is, as much as ever, beloved by fans and revered by fellow broadcasters. Though his voice is a familiar summer soundtrack for generations of Southern Californians, the increased availability of broadcasts over the Internet has given Scully a larger national audience. He calls all nine innings of the Dodgers' TV broadcasts, the first three innings of which are simulcast on the radio.
Meanwhile, the most storied franchise in American sports can only wonder what might have been. "What if?" Scully said. "What if? These are questions no one can answer."

Why C is still in use especially in area of numerical optimization (instead of C++) ? C and C++ aren't fully compatible so mayby you know some differances that make the difference ?
closed as not constructive by Danil Asotsky, Dirk Eddelbuettel, Clebson Derivan, chrisaycock Feb 27 '13 at 12:19
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
who told you that ? I am used to create new trade systems in C++ to make the customers requirements feasible.
CERN used C++ to prove higgs boson particle. I see people using C to program embedded like microwaves or fridges :D
but it is just my opnion, I would like to hear others.
C is not used for any particular reason in numerical optimizations other than for legacy reasons. However, there are areas where C is preferred over C++ though even C is not the preferred language of choice. To mind comes programming FPGAs. Though VHDL and Verilog are by far the standards. But "behavioral synthesis" allows to utilize C or C relatives such as SystemC to transfer logic to HDL. In that C is the preferred choice over C++. (Though having started working with FPGAs I start to get the sense that VHDL and Verilog are so popular for good reasons; even though the learning curve is a lot steeper they are much closer to the core of the particular hardware logic (Gate Arrays have a vastly different structure than a CPU).
So, C has its applications and is the preferred choice of weapon in some areas but more often than not people prefer using what they are best at. At least in numerical optimization I do not see a single reason why C would be preferred over C++ and actually I doubt such claim.
I don't know how widely used C is over C++ when it comes to doing numerical optimization; however, if there is a preference towards C it likely comes from the fact that C++ name mangling is not standard making C++ libraries very hard to integrate into other languages and environments. With C you get a well known calling convention making it straightforward to integrate which is why you see C (and Fortran) libraries that are used in Python, R, Ruby, Java, C#, etc.

I was born and lived in Fall River for over 50 years, and recently moved to Tiverton. I went to B.M.C. Durfee High School, and to this day try to follow the activities of the school.
I recently bought a copy of John (Red) Cummings Jr.'s "Cream of the Crop — Fall River's Best and Brightest," as did my sister, also a Durfee graduate. The book is a tribute to those men and women who received an education in Fall River, and have risen to the very top in their respective fields.
There are those highlighted in Cummings' excellent book who really stand out, and they are, in random order, Joe Raposa, Mort Dean, Emeril Lagasse, Mel Yoken, Fred Buda and Luke Urban. I am proud to say that I knew them all, and their lives of greatness prove that Fall River has certainly produced some outstanding and unique individuals.
Congratulations to Red Cummings for his inspiring, compelling book.

A West Roxbury man, one of two Boston men facing multiple charges, including three counts of armed assault to murder after allegedly shooting a Dedham woman, continues to be held without bail, after a dangerousness hearing last week at Norfolk County Superior Court, according to a Norfolk District Attorney spokesman.
Marcel Reed, 20, of 5018 Washington St., number 2, West Roxbury, and Andrew Renna, 21, of 84 Alabama St., Mattapan, both pleaded not guilty April 4 to three counts of armed assault to murder, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and one count of wanton or reckless conduct posing a risk of serious bodily injury to a child, after a shooting in the fall, according to Norfolk District Attorney spokesman David Traub.
"Judge (Raymond J.) Brassard found him (dangerous) and detained him without bail," Traub wrote of Reed on Monday in an email.
Reed also pleaded not guilty to carrying a firearm without a license and indecent assault and battery on the victim on a previous date, and Renna pleaded not guilty to four counts of accessory after the fact, Traub said.
The two men were arrested Oct. 25, 2013, after a 32-year-old woman, who was driving her car northbound on VFW Parkway in West Roxbury, was allegedly shot by Reed, who was in another vehicle with Renna, according to Assistant Norfolk District Attorney Brian Wilson.
The woman drove herself to the Dedham Police Department after being shot and was then taken by ambulance to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, state police said.
According to Wilson, the victim, another adult and a child were in the victim�s vehicle at the time of the shooting.
The female victim did not sustain life-threatening wounds, said David Procopio, a spokesman for the Massachusetts State Police.
Reed is scheduled to have a pre-trial hearing on May 7 at Norfolk County Superior Court. Renna had a hearing on Tuesday for miscellaneous matters at the Superior Court, Traub said.
Reed is currently being held without bail at the Norfolk County Correctional Center under the Massachusetts dangerousness statute. Renna is free on a $5,000 cash bail on several conditions, including having to wear a GPS monitor and being under house confinement, except for work, legal or medical appointments, Traub said.
Renna must also check in with probation officers by telephone or in person if requested, and he is not allowed to carry weapons, Traub said.
The Office of the Commissioner of Probation also lists Reed�s address as 869 South St., Roslindale, Traub said.

Since muscles grow when they are resting, has anyone got any tips, supplements or anything at all that will help my muscles grow more effectively during resting period?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Your supplements are called copious sleep, hydration (with milk if it's part of your diet, water if not), and food. You know--eggs, vegetables, olive oil, meat, butter, greens, starches.
Olympic lifting coach Greg Everett recommends walking, massage, self-myofascial release, and hot baths on rest days as well.
Beyond those, supplements are good primarily to make your wallet lighter, and thus easier to carry.
Sleeping over 10 hours a night improved athletic performance. To quote Mah, Mah, Kezirian and Dement:
Sometimes a very light workout is useful during a recovery day, but one's capacity for active rest intensity varies person-to-person, again according to Greg Everett:
If we want to grow muscle, we need to give it a reason to grow.
This reason (ie the stimulus) can be a 185 lb bench press or a 400 lb bench press - it all depends on the person.
If the stimulus is not enough, we will not grow. If it is too much, we will not grow either. If it is just right, however, and we allow for proper recovery (sleep + nutrients), we will grow.
Make sure you are challenging yourself but no over doing it. When in doubt, keep the gas tank filled to 10-20%. Leave the gym stimulated; not annihilated.
Now we can be giving our body the right stimulus (ie right amount of training volume) but still not be growing.
What's up with that?
Well, exercise is stressful for the body. And depending on our overall stress load, it can be good or bad.
When we sleep 5 hours, spend the day drinking coffee, and then decide to do a 1.5 hr training session - this is BAD.
There is just too much stress for our body to develop a positive adaption.
In most cases, when people are not building muscle as fast as they want, they need to learn to manage all the stress outside the weight room so that body can focus on adapting to that one stressor (ie muscle damage).
So how to quiet all the other stress?
1) Provide an acute stressor (exercise)
2) Cut down on all chronic stressors
3) Sit back and grow

Can't be done The difficulties of cutting government spending are well known. Tuesday, House Republicans proved it's not just difficult — it's impossible. Blessed with a golden opportunity to convince the public that an aid package for Hurricane Sandy victims must be paid for with cuts in less urgent initiatives — or, at a minimum, shorn of irrelevant spending — the GOP caved and approved the whole thing, pork-barrel spending and all. "Are there no savings, are there no reductions we can put in place this year so these folks can get their money?" asked Rep. Mark Mulvaney, R-S.C. Well, no, there aren't. So the public can rest assured the spending binge will continue until the day hard fiscal reality derails this speeding train.

JavaScript is a prototype language. To turn it into a class based language adds little value? I am not talking about best-practice here. I remember reading an article from way back, which claimed that the class-based worldview is perceivably more flawed than the one of prototypes. My summary can be found here: http://carnotaurus.tumblr.com/post/3248631891/class-based-javascript-or-not. I am resisting to use the class-based jQuery add-on and other attempts at faciliating class-based JavaScript. Peer pressure is strong but is there a stronger theoretical or practical reason why I should stop resisting?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Continue to resist!
JavaScript is fine as is, it just suffers from a few misunderstandings.
Recently I discovered the reasoning behind prototype based versus class based object oriented languages. I always thought that prototypes make no sense, because sooner or later you will find out your objects are in some way similar and you can group them, create hierarchies and use polymorphism... I think the point is to understand, that with prototypes, the language itself is more flexible - you could for instance implement contracts, aspect oriented programming and all sorts of metaprogramming much easier. You could create smarter interfaces, components with dependency resolution and much more... I think prorotypes are a bettter language feature, but one has to remember, that classes are needed and there should be a library for them.
You shouldn't care whether your JavaScript is class based or prototype based. The important question is how to make your program object oriented. Since the DOM plays the central role in websites/web-applications you could focus on making the DOM nodes object oriented instead. See for example this demo (implemented using the Entwine library):

Box Score | Game Notes
HOUSTON (December 11, 2012) – Forward Greg Rallo tallied his seventh goal in eight games, but the San Antonio Rampage's (10-12-0-3) four-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday afternoon, as the Rampage fell to the Houston Aeros (13-7-1-2), 5-1, at the Toyota Center. Despite the loss, the Rampage have won six of their last eight games.
Reigning CCM/AHL Player of the Week Jacob Markstrom made 25 saves off 30 shots in the defeat, ending his six-game personal winning streak which dated back to Nov. 24th.
With the victory, Houston claimed first place in the South division and has now won three of the first four games between the interstate rivals. The clubs will meet eight more times this season.
The Aeros opened the scoring at 11:35 of the first period. Markstrom stopped the first shot in the sequence, but Kris Foucault found the rebound and potted it to give the Aeros a 1-0 lead.
Houston controlled much of play in the first period, outshooting the Rampage, 14-7, but Markstrom kept San Antonio in the game by stopping all but one of Houston's first period shots.
The Aeros struck again early into the second period when Charlie Coyle tipped a Marco Scandella point shot past the Rampage netminder 36 seconds into the frame.
San Antonio ended the period on a high note, though, when Rallo tipped a Colby Robak shot over Houston goaltender Matt Hackett's shoulder at 19:29 of the second period to make it 2-1 heading into the second intermission. The goal continued an offensive tear for Rallo, who has nine points in his last eight games.
Trailing by only one goal to open the third period, the Rampage tilted the ice for a stretch before the Aeros responded with three unanswered goals to put the game out of reach.
Aeros winger Nick Palmieri collected a rebound off a shot from David McIntyre and backhanded it past Markstrom at 13:38 of the third period to make it a two-goal game. Only 1:58 later, McIntyre cashed in on a Palmieri rebound to make it 4-1 Houston. Jarod Palmer added an unassisted tally at 18:31 to seal the 5-1 final for the Aeros and give them their seventh win in their last eight games.
Entering the game, the Aeros had gone 7-for-24 against the Rampage on the power play, but the Silver and Black held Houston to 0-for-3 in the game with the man advantage. The Rampage finished 0-for-2 on the power play and were outshot, 30-21.
The Rampage head north for a two-game series against the Oklahoma City Barons on Friday and Saturday at the Cox Convention Center. The Silver & Black return to the AT&T Center on December 16th for an Express-News Sunday Funday faceoff with the Charlotte Checkers at 4:30 p.m.
Individual, and season, tickets start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com

Holiday fun for kids in Cape Town
Fun at the Final Draw
Cape Town's counting the days to World Cup kickoff, after a fantastic Final Draw on December 4 which had 55 000 people partying in Long Street while stars and dignitaries packed the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
Visit Cape Town Tourism's special 2010 mini-website to spot yourself or your friends in our image gallery or to catch the match schedule and latest news at www.capetown.travel/2010.
But Cape Town kids are also counting the days, as schools break up this week for a five-week summer holiday. Here are some suggestions for activities and experiences to keep them happy:
- Artjamming at Wembley Square offers you a canvas, paint on tap and tools to create your very own masterpiece. A lot of enthusiasm but very little experience is required!
- The Iziko South African Museum & Planetarium has special exhibitions for children, like the Whale Well, African Dinosaurs, Shark World, Rock Art and Fossil Stories.
- Visit the Two Oceans Aquarium for oceans of fun, and nurture a future Einstein at the MTN Sciencentre at Canal Walk Shopping Centre.
- Visit The Millstone Farmstall & Café at Oude Molen Eco Village in Pinelands for horse rides, meeting Milly May the piglet, and fresh, organic produce.
- From Milly May the piglet to Gerry the giraffe at Giraffe House in Stellenbosch. There are many other African animals to see there as a lesson about our rich African wildlife heritage. Daily animal encounters take place at 11h00, 13h00 and 15h00.
- The Barnyard Restaurant in Tokai is a wonderful family venue with a wide range of outdoor play activities and a petting zoo – and it's not far from the Constantia winelands, for mom and dad.
- For the adventurer in your child, Ratanga Junction in Century City and the Cool Runnings Toboggan Family Park in Tygervalley are ideal.
- And if your wish is for your children just to be children, use their imagination, enjoy themselves and use up some energy in Cape Town's many outdoor spots:
Family-friendly beaches include Boulders Beach, Glen Beach (a very toddler-friendly beach close to Camps Bay and Clifton), Small Bay in Blouberg (a refuge from the south-easter), St James tidal pool, Fish Hoek Beach, Long Beach Noordhoek and Strand or Gordon's Bay for warm water, fewer waves and play equipment.
Parks and playgrounds like Rocklands or Deer Park in Vredehoek, Keurboom Park in Rondebosch, the Lighthouse Playground in Mouille Point, Sonstraal Park in Durbanville or Squirrel Lane in the Company's Gardens.
Take a mild family hike at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, Table Mountain, the Pipe Track, Newlands Forest or the Silvermine Dams.
Kids had a blast at the Final Draw
And in the words from Baz Luhrmann's song, "if we could offer you one piece of advice – sunscreen would be it!"
For this and more school holidays information, pick up the informative Cape Town Kids Map 2010 and Visitors Guide 2010 at any Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centre. Find all 18 VICs and some holiday hints at www.capetown.travel.

I don't understand. I've added one line to the Kitchen sink example. Is that what made it "overnesting"?
To reproduce, you add that one line to the kitchen sink example.
29 Jan 2013 2:04 PM #4
Well, just like the Sencha documentation, your answer was brief, and contained little useful information.
Can you tell me what more you need than adding ONE line to the kitchen sink example? I fail to see how it could be simpler.
30 Jan 2013 9:34 AM #5
I am having the same problem. I too am able to reproduce it with the Kitchen Sink app, after trying the example English posted.
Is there any fix or workaround for this? Please advise, this is kind of a show stopper for our app.
1 Feb 2013 5:36 PM #6
For the sake of other people coming across this issue, we have found the answer.
It has been addressed in this bug report (which wasn't summarily and cryptically dismissed):
You have to add this to the nested list (or list):

Hey folks,
The latest podcast is up, featuring music from the various Star Trek films and television shows. You'll also hear my gushing review of the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek film. So, this week's question is one that has been debated on many film music message boards:
What's your favorite Star Trek score? What's your least favorite?
Personally, I've got to go with Goldsmith's remarkable score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a rich classic of the 1970s. Special mention goes to Horner's The Wrath of Khan and Eidelman's The Undiscovered Country. My least favorite is probably Leonard Rosenman's Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, an effort that just doesn't feel remotely like a Trek score to me.

A sign in the Chart Room Restaurant says, "If you're lucky enough to live by the ocean, you're lucky enough." I've tried to remember that, shivering as I have, through the past few weeks. Like many people, I eat a lot during these December cold snaps. I favor soups, stews, and home-baked bread, but I haven't been able to eat enough to shake off the chill.
And lately, I've been cold and crabby. We are what we eat. Here in Del Norte County, crab is generally served right from the fridge (most people even bypass the warm butter). But I've been heating my crab up in the microwave in a vain effort to warm myself up.
Generally, I get my crab from Lucy's Crab Shack, right at the harbor. But it's also available cooked and cleaned at the new Egg and Ham place on 101 South. It's open later than Lucy's. The fact that I'm into late night crab buying tells you right away that I'm not equipped with my own pot, which is how many people in our area get their crab. Though I've been reading "Fat of the Land: Adventures of a 21st Century Forager" by the prophetically named Langdon Cook, I still haven't been inspired enough to capture and eat the majority of my own food. As a working mom, sometimes it is a struggle just to hunt food down at the grocery store. But the idea of standing out in the rain, hovering around the public dock waiting for crabs to investigate my crab pot doesn't appeal in this weather.
I have made significant progress with my winter lettuce garden, though. I have a little hothouse and my greens are going strong with eight plants that yield enough lettuce to meet my weekly needs. On second thought, the sustainability of my little garden may actually be a result of reduced demand. Who wants a salad when the wind is howling?
But a "warm" local food that I do have standing by for the holidays is a stash of chestnuts, gathered from an ancient tree near Lake Earl. If the mere idea of chestnuts roasting by an open fire can't warm me up, I don't know what could. We don't have a fireplace, but the oven works pretty well for chestnuts, as experimentation has proved. I just cut crosses into the tops of the nuts to keep them from exploding as they expand. Then I pop the meat out after the nuts have cooked and they are ready to eat.
It sounds simpler than it really is. The last time I cooked chestnuts, I ended up with tiny cuts all over my hands from the sharp inner peels. But I also ended up with the most marvelous soup. I pureed the roasted chestnuts and added them to chicken stock, and threw in a bunch of other good veggies. The chestnuts work like cream, adding add both bulk and richness to the broth.
I gathered the nuts this year from a chestnut tree that I found on a hike a few years ago. I wouldn't have paid much attention to the tree, had not a nice, elderly gentlemen been sitting beneath it, cutting chestnuts out of their impossibly prickly outer husks with gloved hands.
"They're for my wife," he said. "I come after the first big storm each fall. That's the only way to get to the nuts — to let the wind knock them down."
I don't think I've seen anything sweeter than that devoted old man, hiking several miles into the woods to gather chestnuts, cut them out of their casings, and then bring back a bucketful for his dear wife.
Of course, Safeway also carries chestnuts, but that's beside the point. So much of the sweetness of food — and its warmth, too — comes from its local source.

Can anyone explain the process and the calculations needed to select a portfolio of liquid futures assets with the least correlation? Given a set of returns for a series of assets, how do I select the best subset such that I minimize their correlation with each other?
Since you are asking for low correlation of the assets, I'm guessing that you are really trying to get a low (or minimum) volatility portfolio. If that is the case, then the steps for one approach are:
This assumes that you don't have preferences in terms of expected returns of some assets over others. That seems to be implied from your question.
You don't indicate the size of your universe. If it is large, then you'll want to use a factor model or shrinkage model rather than the sample estimate to estimate the variance matrix.
The question is somewhat vague (lacking a well-defined objective), so this advice may not apply.
Be mindful that you may be simultaneously considering multiple futures contracts that contain overlapping underlying constituents (e.g. futures that track the EuroStoxx 600 and DAX). If you are using a risk model, the idiosyncratic risk may not, in fact, be uncorrelated across constituents. This phenomenon is true for other 'composite' assets, such as ETFs, as well.
Dan diBartolomeo, of Northfield, motivates this concept clearly in his 1998 paper:
"Optimization with Composite Assets Using Implied Covariance Matrices"
I would start by looking at calculating the efficient frontier. which maximizes return given a specified risk.
Here is the Wikipedia article which specifies how you would do the calculation:
-Ralph Winters
Mean-Variance optimization is the standard finance answer to this question.
However, solutions can be costly since the weights will likely be dispersed across many instruments raising fixed transactions costs. I would consider Sparse PCA as another solution where you can specify cardinality constraints on the number of securities in your basket to better manage the transasctions costs vs. diversification trade-off

Modex 2012: Komyo crate combines flexible pallet alternative, storage and racking
Komyo Logistics (Booth 1520) showcased its line of crates, a reusable metal pallet alternative offered in both standard and custom sizes at a booth visit with Modern on Wednesday.
According to Rick Franklin, corporate director of operations for Komyo, the standard sizes are designed to fill the cube of both standard North American trailers and standard international ocean containers. Seven crates can collapse to take the space of one, said Franklin, and they can serve as portable storage and racking.
"Honda of America, our customer for the last nine years, started stacking these crates seven high, putting bar codes on them and picking from them," said Franklin. "It was yet another unique use for the crates that improves our customers' flexibility."
The crates can be bought outright or returned to Komyo for service, said Franklin, who said the added security, product protection, and crate durability lead to significant savings and improved customer satisfaction.
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

6 Supposed Action Heroes You Could Probably Take In A Fight
#3. Worf from Star Trek
Greater-than-average strength; knows how to use blades; multi-lingual.
Less than average intelligence; laughable adherence to a strange code of honor; can barely move; no pockets.
How You Can Beat Him:
We admit Worf seems like a strange choice for this list at first glance, but a close examination of his fighting technique indicates his reputation far exceeds his actual ability.
Yes, we have here someone who moves so slow he makes Caine look like Bruce Lee. Despite talk of Klingon martial arts we rarely see him demonstrate anything more complicated than the usual Friday night bar fight roundhouse. His method seems to consist of a lot of snarling and mindless clubbing of foes with his fists, all while moving in the sluggish, robotic manner of a person worried that sudden movement will cause their forehead to go flying off.
His other weakness is his antiquated sense of honor. By challenging him to a straight up one-on-one fight you can be assured that he will show up, alone and unarmed. Worf will overlook the fact that unlike his ridiculous uniform, the cargo pants you bought at Old Navy have plenty of pockets for carrying useful things.
By useful things we mean Tasers, pepper spray, brass knuckles and a bat. At that point your only concern will be whether green blood comes out of clothes more readily than red.
#2. Tum-Tum from 3 Ninjas
Heals faster than grown ups, plenty of energy, cuteness.
Is a small child.
How You Can Beat Him:
Who is Tum-Tum? See the picture above. See the old guy, not him. See the kid next to the old guy, not him either, and not his brother in the middle. No, Tum-Tum is the little kid at the end. That's right, somehow we were supposed to believe that the little 5-year-old was some kind of devastating ninja. This was the point at which we stood up in the theater and screamed, "Bullshit."
For the sake of argument let's give him full credit for the ninja training his grandfather gave him. Being five, we think that he spent the first few years of "training" learning things like "ninja potty" and "ninja walking without falling on your ass." This leaves little time for more important skills like punching, kicking and learning how to make awesome smoke bombs.
We know this will be controversial, but we question the scientific accuracy of the above scene. You know what happens when a 5-year-old performs a flying kick against a grown man? The kid falls on his barely- out-of-diapers ass. Why does this happen? Physics. It's the law and everyone knows you can't fight the law, especially if you weigh 30 pounds and stand 3-feet-tall.
We also doubt that any of Tum-Tum's ninja training ever prepared him to overcome the sure-fire defense against all 5-year-olds, namely the "palm against the forehead" move. It's a variation of the technique the first ninja used up there, only modified to keep yourself out of range of his tiny kicking legs.
No, we're thinking the two ninjas in that video would have met the exact same fate if they had been fighting the empty room. Though we should note that before this match-up you should first find out if it is illegal in your state to fight children.
#1. Robin, from the Batman TV Series
Surprisingly good chin; appears to have decent medical coverage; has a butler.
Little-to-no knock-out power; built like a 12-year-old girl; beatdown-inducing costume.
How You Can Beat Him:
A supposed superhero who makes the Karate Kid look like the Terminator, Robin is the least physically imposing specimen ever to put on tights and a cape. While we can cut him some slack because he is supposed to be a teenager, that doesn't change the fact that they'd like us to believe he can take on the baddest criminals in Gotham with his fists.
The two things criminals fear, bats and colorful song birds.
For starters, after reviewing many of his fights it becomes clear that Robin has absolutely no knock-out power. He is seen repeatedly throwing wild haymakers that connect flush on the chins of opponents, we know this because the words "Pow" or "Whap" appear when he connects. But his opponents usually quickly pop right back up for more.
While he displays decent cardio in his ability to throw punch after punch, you should wade in against him unconcerned, especially since each of his punches is telegraphed well in advance. Seriously, even if he begins his punch while you are in the middle of a nap, you should have plenty of time to wake up, stretch and give him the thrashing of his life.
Robin's costume is also a weakness, and not just because the mere sight of it will steel your resolve to pound him. His cape is a liability easily exploited by any hockey fan. After pulling it up and wrapping it around his head, feel free to pound on Robin's kidneys until he collapses.
Obviously your biggest concern shouldn't be Robin at all, but whether or not a pissed-off Batman will come to his rescue. But keep in mind this is not the Christian Bale Batman from the films, but the flabby Adam West Batman from the TV show. We actually still like your chances even if he jumps in, but we don't want to get cocky here.
Find more from Adam over at Scenic Anemia.
If you've ever wondered what would happen if all the movie Batmans had it out, than you'll probably enjoy the trailer that pits Batman vs. Batman vs. Batman.

1934 Chevy Sedan - Cup RodWritten by on August 9, 2011 Contributors: Rich Chenet, Jesse Kiser What Does NASCAR Racer Clint Bowyer Drive on Mondays?
"I drive it every chance I get. It's a very fun car to drive." —Clint Bowyer
NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Clint Bowyer calls his '34 Chevy sedan a rat rod, but sorry, bud, you're wrong. There's nothing rat about this car. The craftsmanship, fabrication, and performance make it a hot rod, or a street rod, or all reet (as Baskerville would say)—but in no way shape or form is this a rat rod. We'll forgive his mistake, this time, but honestly, it's his car and he can refer to it any way he pleases.
It seems Clint is afflicted with the same disease that we are: eBayitus. That would be the overwhelming addiction to online surfing for sweet iron at affordable prices at all hours of the day and night. We're developing a 12-step program for it as we speak. During one of his times off the wagon, Clint found the Chevy body on eBay and had to have it—and he knew the guy he wanted to have build it.
There's a definite perk to being a Cup driver beyond the obvious thrill of getting paid handsomely to wheel that race car nearly every Sunday, and that is that most of them, Clint included, live in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area—the Mecca of all things NASCAR. They are therefore exposed to some of the best automotive fabricators in the world, many of them just good ol' boys. After getting to know Jay Stone, a fabricator for many race teams but currently at Kevin Harvick Racing, and talking to him about the hot rod he wanted to build, the choice in builder was set in stone and the body was delivered to Jay's "shop," put in quotes because it's actually the modest garage beside his house.
"All he said was 'I want it low, chopped, nasty, and cool. Oh, and some big whitewall tires too," Jay says. The body is the only original part on the car; everything else was either handbuilt or custom ordered to spec after careful planning and measurement. There are very few off-the-shelf parts on this one. As with many traditional rods, this car is littered with nods to aircraft engineering, incorporating rivets that were laid out by hand, and nearly every visible bolt safety-wired because Jay didn't want there to be a single nylon lock nut. "I definitely didn't want it to be cut with a torch and welded together like other rat rods," Jay says.
The chassis was possibly the most elaborate part of the build. All the pieces were measured, laser-cut out of 7- or 10-gauge sheet steel, and then TIG-welded together. Jay designed the frame with three things in mind: a comfortable passenger compartment, reasonable ground clearance, and stiffness. "I had to do all those things and make it fit the curvature of the body." The car has true framerails but the floorboards are also an integral part of the chassis, allowing the seats to be raised to a normal height, not just end up as pads on the floor. The car might look as though it was built in an aircraft hangar, but in fact, Jay's garage looks as though it's big enough for a few bicycles and maybe two cars, if they're small. But he's fixing that.
Jay might not be a household name to hot rodders yet, but he has been bending metal for more than 25 years and is currently building his dream shop in Clemmons, North Carolina, where he can finally open J Stone Designs. Clint's Chevy is his first real complete build, and it's a doozy, having been done for a little while now and already drawing plenty of attention to its builder among hot rodders in the area. What's the total investment in this car? Jay wouldn't say but did admit to having a lot of sleepless nights over 10 and a half months and 2,000 hours of work, so do the math.
Jay summed up the build saying, "The hardest part of this car? Deciding when it's finished. The rest is just metal."
"It's what General Motors gave us in conjunction with time, weather, and my tools. That's what you see; no Bondo, no upholstery, no carpet, it's all right out there to be seen." —Jay Stone

The gauges are custom from Shannon Hudson at Redline Gauge Works, modeled after a '50s Chevy with Jay Stone's name and Clint's logo on the faces. The dash is stock with 4 inches sectioned out and the center gauge reveal flipped upside down.The Buick drum brakes in the front with Wilson Welding backing plates are actually too much for the skinny tires; Jay says they lock up pretty easily. Good thing the car owner is a pro driver.They wanted to give the appearance that an Army serviceman had built the car in the early '50s, so there are a ton of punched lightening holes, and the interior was chemically treated for a dark pewter color, then cleared.Stuff that a casual eye would run over without notice, such as the custom pedals, is what makes the car and is one of the main reasons the rat rod moniker is underserved. The brake pedal is stainless steel, and the gas is leftover scrap.It's a ragtop, à la VW Bug. Sorta. The canopy top was hardware material that Jay and his wife dyed and then sent to Bobby's Trim Shop in North Carolina. The wooden rails started as bare oak that were cut, treated, and then burned to get the perfect look. The little brass clips that hold the wood together look like ancient pieces, but Jay designed them from scratch and had them laser-cut from brass. The front and rear windows have Nu Relic electric motors.It's a ragtop, à la VW Bug. Sorta.

Yamaha HP-2 ortho (gone)
- practically NOS with the box and everything
iBasso D10 + iRiver iHP-120 (gone)
- one of the original highly sought after dap/amp combos, and still smaller than many "transportable" combos today

Stax SR-007 with Woo WEE
- literally brand new, long story short: I finally took the plunge on some stax through a Canadian dealer, it was damaged in transit, we had to fight with the post office over insurance and after five months I finally got a brand spanking new 007
- why trading/selling? Because the whole process of fighting with the post office has left me frustrated and I can't really enjoy it
- I also have a Woo Audio WEE so you can hook it up to a regular speaker amp; the WEE has been modded for extra safety, pm for details
- I'm kinda maybe vaguely interested in trying a 009
