Why do sublime solids sublimate in the first place? Is it that their melting point and their liquid's boiling point are the same so that they manage to magically skip the liquid phase? (if so, why does it have to be so?)And is the reverse possible?
Solids may sublimate because they are below the critical pressure, at which the solid has to liquefy upon heating. The boiling point changes depending on pressure. If the solid is at a pressure below which it liquefies, it can go directly to gas. And yes, the reverse is possible. Deposition is the name for this process. Dry ice is deposited carbon gas, which solidifies because the pressure is not high enough for carbon to liquefy at low or ordinary temperatures.
$CO_2$ sublimates at atmospheric pressure, lets have a look at the phase diagram.
Now if you notice the triple point exists above atmospheric pressure. Below this the system can only transform directly from the solid to the gas phase and vice versa by changing the temperature. At the triple point the substance can coexist in all three phases at one distinct temperature and pressure. Beyond the triple point the three phases are distinct with respect to temperature, so via heating or cooling you can witness all three different states.
The opposite of sublimation exists and is called deposition, an example of which would be frost.

WINTERSVILLE - The offense pieced together a key third quarter scoring run, the defense put on its usual clinic and Indian Creek stayed unbeaten before an overflow crowd Friday.
Shane Winland's inside play and Jonathan Haught's connection from behind the arc keyed the 10-0 burst as the Redskins held off Harrison Central 30-25 in what Joe Dunlevy described as "just another night in the Buckeye 8."
"These kids have been playing against each other for three years, so they know each other really well," Dunlevy said. "Both coaching staffs know what the other team wants to do and that leads to good defense.

Mike Mathison
IN FOR 2 — Indian Creek's Shane Winland goes in for two of his seven points in front of Harrison Central's Nick Pelegreen during the third quarter of Friday's 30-25 win by the Redskins in Wintersville.
"You can talk about guys missing shots but great defense both teams caused that."
Creek, now 3-0, held a 14-13 lead at the intermission. Fletcher Watt put the Huskies ahead by one when he drove hard to the hoop. That's when Winland went to work.
He grabbed an offensive rebound, powered his way up for a deuce and drew a foul. His conventional three-point play made it 17-15 Creek. Frank Kamarec got a pair on a nifty baseline drive. Winland scored again after grabbing a Kamarec miss. Haught drilled his triple to finish the run and give the Redskins a 24-15 advantage.

Indian Creek 30, Harrison Central 25

HARRISON CENTRAL (3-1): K. Mitchell 1 0-0 2; Kowalski 3 0-0 6; Rutter 0 0-0 0; Watt 4 1-2 10; R. Mitchell 1 2-2 4; Olmstead 0 0-0 0; Pelegreen 1 1-2 3. TOTALS: 10 4-6 25. 3-pointers: Watt; Rebounds: 23 (R. Mitchell 12); Turnovers: 10.
INDIAN CREEK (3-0): Kamarec 3 3-4 9; Furda 1 0-0 2; Roar 1 0-0 3; Haught 1 0-1 3; Durbin 0 0-0 0; Sullivan 1 0-0 2; Winland 3 1-3 7; Young 1 2-2 4. TOTALS: 11 6-10 30. 3-pointers: Roar, Haught; Rebounds: 24 (Kamarec 10); Turnovers: 7.
"Shane got a couple of big baskets inside and that really was the key in that stretch," Dunlevy added. "He's just a heady guy who does a great job. We made a couple of other plays and that one run was the difference."
Winland's bucket to start the final frame put Creek ahead by 10 (26-16). The Huskies then staged a little run of their own.
Watt drained a three-ball, Rashean Mitchell got a put back and Watt hit a floater in the lane. The 7-0 Harrison run was keyed by three consecutive Creek turnovers. Kamarec and Alex Young sealed the deal as they were money down the stretch from the free throw line.
"It was a great win," Dunlevy noted. "There's nothing better than playing in the league before a packed house. The kids on both teams were playing extremely hard."
In two games this week, Creek held both opponents under 30 points, a development Dunlevy "can't remember happening before."
"We beat two good teams in Buckeye Local and Harrison," he said. "Our guys worked extremely hard on the defensive end. Buckeye has a solid group of seniors and these guys tonight (Harrison) are tough."
Justin Clifford, who saw his Huskies lose for the first time after three victories, called the game one of "ebbs and flows."
"We made a couple of runs, they made their run and we had another one," he said. "Both teams played their guts out and played great defense. It's going to be hard to score in a game like that.
"It was a physical game. We know them and they know us. That's what so great about the league. It was two teams going after each other with everything they have. Tonight, they got one more bucket than we did."
Kamarec paced Creek in scoring with nine. Winland finished with seven. As a team, Creek 11 of 44 from the floor and collected 24 rebounds (Kamarec hauling down 10).
Watt had 10 for the Huskies and Austin Kowalski six. Harrison Central hoisted 34 field goal attempts, making 10. Rashaen Mitchell (he also had six blocks) snared 12 of his team's 23 rebounds. Nick Pelegreen grabbed nine.
"Give them credit, they do that to a lot of teams," Clifford explained of his team's shooting performance. "We really haven't shot the ball well yet but that's no excuse. We stayed in this game with our defensive effort. We held a really good player (Young) to four points. That's a testament to our kids. They had other kids step up and make points."
Dunlevy praised the defensive end of Blake Roar who drew the assignment of keeping Watt in check.
"I don't think he realizes how important he is to us," Dunlevy noted. "He did a solid job tonight. He really is the guy who spearheads our defensive effort."
Both teams resume Buckeye 8 play Tuesday. Indian Creek travels to Bellaire while Harrison Central entertains Martins Ferry. Originally, the Huskies were scheduled to visit Ferry but the game was moved to accommodate a school function.

Your Day-by-Day Guide to Agile PLM at Oracle OpenWorld 2012
By Kerrie Foy on Aug 28, 2012
This year's Oracle OpenWorld conference is nearly here, and we're all excited about what we have planned! With five days of activities and customer presenters from market leaders and top innovators like The Coca-Cola Company, Starbucks, JDSU, Facebook, GlobalFoundries, and more, this is an event you don't want to miss. I've compiled this day-by-day guide to help anyone keep track of all the "Product Lifecycle Management and Product Value Chain" sessions and activities at OpenWorld 2012, September 30 – October 4 in San Francisco, California.
Monday, October 1
There are great networking activities on Sunday September 30, but PLM specific sessions start after general conference keynotes on Monday, October 1 at 10:45 a.m. at the InterContinental Hotel in room Telegraph Hill. In fact, most of our sessions this year will be held in this room, which is still close to the conference keynotes in Moscone, but just far enough away to allow some focused networking and discussions.
This first session, 10:45 – 11:45 a.m. is a joint session with the Agile and AutoVue teams, entitled "Streamline PLM Design-to-Manufacturing Processes with AutoVue Visualization Soltuions" featuring presenters from Oracle as well as joint AutoVue and Agile PLM customer GlobalFoundries.
In the following 12:15 – 1:15 p.m. slot, there are two sessions to choose from, so if you have a team of representatives attending OpenWorld, you may consider splitting up to catch both of these:
a) Our General Session will be held in the InterContinental Hotel Ballroom C, which will cover our complete enterprise PLM strategy, product updates, and roadmaps. It's our pleasure to feature a customer keynote presentation from Chris Bedi, CIO, and Rajeev Sethi, Director IT Business Engagement, of JDSU.
b) A focused session on integrating PLM with Engineering and Supply Chain Systems will be held on the second floor of Moscone West (next to the InterContinental) in room 2022. Join to discover how these types of integrations help companies manage common and integrated design information across all MCAD, ECAD, and software components.
After a lunch break and perhaps a visit to the Demogrounds in Moscone West, select from two product roadmap sessions in the next time slot (3:15 – 4:15 p.m.): an Agile 9.3.x session located in the InterContinental's Ballroom C, and an Agile PLM for Process session located back in the InterContinental's Telegraph Room. Both sessions will have strong content around each product line's latest releases, vision, and customer examples. We are very pleased to feature Daniel Soosai of Facebook in the A9 session and Vinnie D'Agostino of The Coca-Cola Company in the PLM for Process session.
Afterwards, hang in there for one last session of the day from 4:45 – 5:45 p.m.; it's an insightful discussion on leveraging Agile PLM as the Foundation for Enterprise Quality Management, and it's sure to be one of the best. In the Telegraph Room, this session will feature Oracle experts, partner co-presenter David Bartlett from CPG Solutions, and customer co-presenter Thomas Crowe, CIO of PL Developments. Hear their experience around implementing collaborative, integrated solutions to ensure effective knowledge transfer throughout an organization, and how to perform analysis in real time to resolve product quality issues swiftly and efficiently.
On Monday evening there will be plenty of industry, product, and partner dinners, so take advantage of all the networking opportunities and catch some great tunes at the 5 day Oracle OpenWorld Music Festival!
Tuesday, October 2
Tuesday starts early with a special PLM Networking Brunch, sponsored by several partners, from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. at the B Restaurant that sits atop Yerba Buena Gardens. You'll have the unique opportunity to meet with like-minded industry peers and a PLM partner to discuss a topic of your choosing while enjoying a delicious meal. Registration is required, so to inquire about attending this brunch, please email Terri.Hiskey-AT-oracle.com.
After wrapping up your conversations over brunch, head over to the Marriott Marquis in the Nob Hill CD room for a chance to experience the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics solution in a Hands-On Lab, open from 10:15 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. Experts will be there to answer your questions.
Back in the InterContinental Hotel's Telegraph room, the session on "Ideation and Requirements Management: Capturing the Voice of the Customer" begins at 11:45 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. This may be the session for you if you're struggling with challenges like too many repositories of customer needs, requests, and ideas; limited visibility into which ideas are being advanced by customers and field resources; or if you're unable to leverage internal expertise to expose effort and potential risks. This session will discuss how Agile PLM can help you overcome ideation challenges to deliver the right products to their targeted markets and fulfill customer desires.
Next, from 1:15 – 2:15 p.m. join us for a session on Managing Profitable Innovation with Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics. If you missed the Hands-on Lab, have more questions, or simply want to be inspired by the product's forward-thinking vision and capabilities, this is a great opportunity to meet the progressive-minded executives behind the application.
After this session, it may be a good opportunity to swing by the Demogrounds in Moscone West and visit the Agile PLM demos at exhibit booths #81 for Agile PLM for Discrete Manufacturing, #70 for Agile PLM for Process, and #82 for AutoVue and Agile PLM Enterprise Visualization. Check out the related Supply Chain Management booths close by if you're interested - here's the map. There's always lots to see and do around the exhibit area.
But don't forget the last session of the day from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. in Telegraph Hill on Managing Product Innovation and Compliance in Life Science Companies, a "must-see" if you're in this industry. Launching innovative products quickly is already a high-stakes challenge, but companies in the life sciences industry face uniquely severe consequences when new products don't perform or comply as required. In recent years, more and more regulations have become mandatory, and new ones, such as REACH, are currently going into effect for several companies. Customer presenters from pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly will share how they've leveraged Agile PLM to deliver high-quality, innovative products in a fast-paced, heavily regulated market environment.
Tuesday evening unwind at the Supply Chain Management Reception from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the premier boutique Roe Nightclub and Lounge, which is located about three blocks down on Howard Street (on the other side of Moscone from the InterContinental Hotel). Registration is required. Click here for the details.
Wednesday, October 3
We have another full line-up on Wednesday, so be ready for an action-packed day. We start with a session at 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. in the Telegraph Room where we have a session on "PLM for Consumer Products: Building an Engine for Quality and Innovation" with featured presenters from Starbucks and partner Kalypso. This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Starbucks how they instill quality and innovation throughout their organization, products, and processes, leveraging PLM disciplines with strong support from their partner.
If you're not in the consumer products industry, we recommend attending another session at 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. in Moscone West room 3005: "Eco-Enterprise Innovation Awards and the Business Case for Sustainability" featuring Jeff Henley, Oracle's Chairman of the Board and Jon Chorley, Chief Sustainability Officer. Oracle will honor select customers with Oracle's Eco-Enterprise Innovation award, which recognizes customers and their respective partners who rely on Oracle products to support their green business practices to reduce their environmental impact while improving business efficiencies and reducing costs. The awards presentation is followed by a panel discussion with customers and Oracle executives, who describe how these award-winning organizations are embracing environmental initiatives as a central part of their business strategy and how information technology plays a pivotal role.
Next at 11:45 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. in Telegraph Hill attend our session devoted to exploring Product Lifecycle Management's role in Software Lifecycle Management. This is a thought leadership session with Oracle experts in the field on the importance of change management, and we'll discuss how Oracle has for years leveraged Agile PLM to develop Agile PLM.
If software lifecycle management doesn't apply to your business or you'd rather engage in some lively one-on-one discussions, we also have a "Supply Chain Meet the Experts" session in Moscone West Room 2001A. Product experts, thought leaders and executives will be on hand to discuss your questions/topics, so come prepared. This session tends to fill up fast so try to get in early.
At 1:15 – 2:15 p.m. join us back in Telegraph Hill for a session focused on leveraging the Agile Product Portfolio Management application as the Product Development Master Schedule to improve efficiencies, optimize resources, and gain visibility across projects enterprise-wide to improve portfolio profitability. Customer presenters from Broadcom will explain how they've leveraged the product to enable a master schedule with enterprise-level, phase-gate program and project collaboration and resource optimization.
Again in Telegraph Hill from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. we have an interesting session with leading semiconductor customer LSI and partner Kalypso on how LSI leveraged Agile PLM to advance from homegrown applications to complete Product Value Chain Management. That type of transition can be challenging, and LSI details how they were able to achieve their goals and the value they gained along the journey – a fascinating account for any company interested in leveraging best practices to innovate their business processes and even end products.
Lastly, we'll wrap up in Telegraph Hill from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. with a session on "Ensuring New Product Success by Achieving Excellence in New Product Introduction." This is a cross-industry session, guaranteed to deliver insight in the often elusive practice of creating winning products, and we're very excited about. According to IDC Manufacturing Insights analyst Joe Barkai, "Product Failures are not necessarily a result of bad ideas…they are a result of suboptimal decisions." We'll show you how to wire your business processes to enhance decision-making and maximize product potential.
Now, quickly hit your hotel room to freshen up and then catch one of the many complimentary shuttles to the much-anticipated Oracle Customer Appreciation Event on Treasure Island. We have a very exciting show planned – check out what's in store here.
Thursday, October 4
PLM has a light schedule on Thursday this year with just one session, but this again is one of our best sessions on managing the Product Value Chain: at 11:15 a.m – 12:15 p.m.in Telegraph Hill, it's a customer and partner driven session with Sonoco Products and Deloitte telling their story about how to achieve integrated change control by interfacing Agile PLM with Oracle E-Business Suite. Sonoco Products, a global manufacturer of consumer and industrial packaging materials, with its systems integrator, Deloitte, is doing this by implementing prebuilt integration (Oracle Design-to-Release Integration Pack for Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process and Oracle Process) to integrate Agile with Oracle Product Hub/Oracle Product Information Management and Oracle E-Business Suite. This session presents a case study of how Sonoco is leveraging this solution to improve data quality and build a framework for stronger master data governance.
Even though that ends our PLM line-up at OpenWorld, there will still be many sessions and activities at the conference, so visit the Oracle OpenWorld website to review agendas and build your schedule. And of course, download and bring this guide and the latest version of the Agile PLM Focus-On Document (available soon!).
San Francisco is a wonderful city to explore, and we're glad you're considering joining the Agile PLM team at Oracle OpenWorld! I hope to see you there!

LONDON, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Outraged at the Ontario Liberal government's deep cuts to social programs and the recent attack on the democratic rights of education workers, London community members will be gathering on Wednesday, January 30 for a public town hall meeting. The forum will feature remarks from OFL President Sid Ryan and a keynote presentation by CAW Economist Jim Stanford called "Challenging the Austerity Myth."
The meeting will address local concern about the fact that almost 12 percent of London's population are struggling on low incomes and almost one in seven children are living in poverty. Unemployment rates in the London Region are 8 percent, and consistently exceed the Ontario average of 6.3 percent. However, the impact of cuts is being felt across most income levels. A recent report from the Ontario Common Front revealed that fully 40 percent of Ontario families have seen their incomes stagnate or fall over the last decade, as Ontario's social program funding lags behind every other province by nearly every measure.
"In communities across the province, families are falling further behind because of Liberal Government's cuts to vital services and social programs, while corporate tax cuts continue to starve Ontario's economy of $15 billion annually," said OFL President Sid Ryan. "Struggling families here in London are right to demand fairness and equity from the Ontario's new Premier, Kathleen Wynne. Investing in jobs, protecting services and safeguarding workers' democratic rights is the only way to prevent a double-dip recession and address rising inequality."
EVENT: London Community Town Hall Meeting on Economic & Democratic Rights WHEN: Wednesday, January 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. WHERE: CAW Local 27 Hall, 606 First St., London WHO: OFL President Sid Ryan & Keynote by CAW Economist Jim Stanford
"Governments at every level are making deep cuts to jobs and social programs based on bogus arguments intended to disguise their real agenda of and dismantling the social safety net," said London and District Labour Council President Patti Dalton. "Renowned economist Jim Stanford delivers the most engaging plain-language explanation of the myths behind the austerity agenda. Everyone needs to learn the real truth and the alternatives. Economic recovery is only possible when everyone is lifted up."
The London town hall is one in a series of regional meetings taking place across Ontario: "Labour and community groups have come together to launch an Ontario Common Front against cuts to jobs and services. We are building partnerships in every community - from London to Ottawa to Thunder Bay," said Ryan. "It is time for the people to start setting the agenda."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Health & Parenting
Many Moms Don't Know Their Babies Are Overweight
May 8, 2012 -- Many moms of chubby toddlers don't realize their babies are large for their age, and this misperception may be setting the stage for their tots to grow up to be overweight or obese, a new study shows.
Nearly 70% of moms inaccurately assessed their toddler's body size when selecting an image they thought reflected their child's body size. Moms of overweight toddlers were more than 88% less likely to accurately perceive their child's body size when compared to moms of toddlers with a healthy weight, the study shows.
Overall, more than two-thirds of moms were satisfied with their toddler's body size. More mothers of healthy-weight or overweight toddlers were likely to be satisfied than mothers of underweight toddlers.
Erin R. Hager, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, looked at how 281 moms viewed their child's body size. Participants were recruited from a suburban Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children clinic and an urban pediatric clinic serving predominantly low-income families. Babies were close to 2 years old, on average. Moms ranged in age from 18 to 46 and most were overweight or obese.
The new findings appear in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"Most of the moms were inaccurate in knowing their child's true body size, but were highly satisfied with their child's size," Hager says. Those who were not satisfied with their child's size typically wanted their kids to be bigger.
"This is not good if the child is already at a healthy weight or overweight."
Perceptions guide behavior, she says. "If you desire your child to be bigger, you may encourage them to gain weight."
Is a healthy baby a chubby baby?
Not really, Hager says. "Many people believe that a chubby baby is a sign of good parenting, but this is not accurate anymore."
Parents may think their kids will grow out of it, but that is not always the case. Chubby tots are more likely to become overweight or obese adults -- especially if their parents mistakenly see them as underweight and try to have them gain weight.
As it stands, about 1 in 3 kids in the U.S. is overweight or obese before age 5. The rate of childhood obesity in the U.S. has tripled since the 1970s.

Midland University announced today that it will acquire full control of the former Dana College campus through its partnership with Krejci Development LLC on July 19, 2013. The sale of the Dana property will mark a major milestone in Midland's plan to restore the Blair campus to full use.
"We are eager to have the keys in hand," said Midland President Ben Sasse. "To be able to start reacquainting folks with the promise and potential sitting on that hill, will be a real asset as we take the next steps in this process."
A key part of the process for the university will be achieving its goals of not simply restoring the campus to use but actually upgrading the facilities and enhancing student housing. Through a collaborative effort with Midland's facilities improvement partner, Krejci Development LLC, the University will have a variety of alternative financing mechanisms through which to enhance the existing physical plant.
The completion of the transaction on July 19 will mark the end of phase two of Midland's four-phase Dana College redevelopment plan. The third and most important phase of bringing the campus back to active use is expected to begin shortly after the university acquires control of the campus with the initiation of a major capital campaign later this summer.
The launch of the capital campaign will mark one of the last major hurdles to restoring the college to active use. Midland officials are committed to raising $11 million over the next year and a half through a campaign that draws on the commitment of Blair area residents and the Dana alumni community. Achievement of major milestones of the development campaign will be a necessity before major construction can begin on the campus.
"We are confident that the commitment from Dana alumni and the people of Blair are more than sufficient to achieve this goal," said Sasse. "We are fully invested now, and I know there are many friends of Dana who are ready to join us in this unique opportunity to shape the future for lots of kids."
Contingent upon successful completion of the capital campaign, Midland aims to welcome the first class of students to campus in the fall of 2015 or 2016.

JazzpunkWritten by: / / No Comments
- platform: PC
- genre: Puzzle
- developer: Necrophone Games
- publisher: Necrophone Games
How do you describe the indescribable? How do you explain the inexplicable?
Let's see if we can sort through the absurdity and hilarity of Jazzpunk to get a better picture of this peculiar curiosity.
What You Need to Know
I'll start with what I know.
Jazzpunk is a first-person adventure game presented in a retro-futuristic aesthetic, taking place in a world either highly influenced or controlled by the Japanese. This world is solely inhabited by robotic characters who, in form, take inspiration from the classic 'Woman' and 'Man' iconography you might see adorning public restrooms. Playing as a secret agent, you will at times be tasked with infiltrating buildings and situations in order to retrieve highly sought after equipment and data, working for an alcoholic director who takes to sleeping behind his desk.
This is about all I can say for sure, because it gets shaky from here.
The world, to my eye, looks like a playable Technicolor Hanna Barbera cartoon, with ridiculous non-sequitur humour influenced by the funnier goofs you might have seen in a National Lampoon or Naked Gun movie – at one point you can look through a viewfinder high up on a balcony overlooking a holiday resort, only to see the classic James Bond opening sequence play out while looking down the barrel of a gun, and when you exit the viewfinder, there's James Bond in front of the lens…
Or how about, after helping a woman rid her vase shop of flies by swatting them away (and breaking most of her merchandise in the process), you can go into the street and swat passers-by, who then turn into flies and fly away. Then there's the time when I was combing a beach for items and I came across a video tape with a movie titled 'Ghost in the Taco Shell.' Next-to the tape, out on the beach, was a return slot for the video store embedded in a rock. I returned the video.
I could keep going (and those aren't even remotely the best gags), but I wouldn't want to spoil anything because this is what Jazzpunk is all about: An endless stream of groan-worthy robot and data jokes involving eProms, Bitmaps and .RAR, a dozen mini-games inspired by Frogger, Street Fighter, Quake 3, Warcraft and the Virtua Boy, and constant references to games and pop culture from the 60s to today.
And it's all hilarious – this I can also say for sure.
You'll Enjoy Jazzpunk If You Liked…
… The best (goofy, corny, cheesy) jokes from National Lampoon and Naked Gun movies.
… the conspiracy theory level in Double Fine's Psychonauts.
What I Liked
There are simply too many examples of how Jazzpunk sent me into laughing fits, too many instances in which it impressed me with the developer's references, and too many times that it surprised me with a new gag out of the blue – I can't list them all. Suffice to say that the frequency with which I exclaimed "This is crazy!" out loud to myself and no-one else in particular was very high.
The humour is relentless, random and unexpected, and even when a single gag is used multiple times it's always in a new, fresh way. Despite having complete control of the pace of the game, the developers have also somehow managed to achieve something equivalent to near-perfect comic timing – something I find difficult to describe without ruining a bunch of jokes, so I won't try here.
Favourite Moment
There are many, many favourite moments, but an example of Jazzpunk's humour and how the developers use attention to detail to build on a joke can be seen with the Frogger mini-game, where you're trying to help a frog cross a busy street to get free wi-fi. If you get run over, the frog gets a cast and a crutch on his leg. If you try again and get run over again, the frog gets another cast. A few more times and he begs you to stop.
Maybe a lame example, but these sorts of instances litter the game world and can be found in almost every corner.
What I Didn't Like
– 2.) There seems to be a backstory for the main character that is glimpsed in a few short sequences, but it doesn't go anywhere at all.
– 1.) Some of the background music samples are short and loop very noticeably – I can't tell if that was intentional or not, but it did eventually get on my nerves.
Least Favourite Moment
Realising that the game had ended… and even then, the moments leading up to the playable credits sequence and back to the title screen are hilarious.
Jazzpunk Trailer
What's Extra?
You'll be able to play at least one of the mini-games from the menu ('Wedding Qake') once you've completed Jazzpunk, but despite the game's brevity (it can be completed in under two hours if you mainline the story) it's possible that you'll only ever find all of the gags and references after you've played it a few times over.
The Bottom Line
Jazzpunk definitely won't be for everyone, but everyone will be able to appreciate its absurdity. If you love to chuckle, guffaw and sit in stunned silence before collapsing in riotous laughter, you might just love Jazzpunk, too.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

"Growing up, Phil got off on the wrong track before God brought him back around," said Robertson, who also told amusing stories regarding the family.
The show, which airs on the A&E Channel, had its third season premiere this week and according to Entertainment Weekly, it was watched by 8.6 million viewers, making it A&E's most-watched telecast ever and ranks as cable's biggest reality show telecast so far this year.
Before Robertson spoke, 2013 chamber president Jack Scoggins and executive director Dorothy Ford handed out awards for outstanding community and service leaders. Honored from the Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office was Inv. Mitchell Jeselink; from the Bastrop Police Office was Officer Eric McCaughan; from the Bastrop Fire Department was District Chief John Hattaway; the outstanding Morehouse Parish teacher was Rebecca Freeland and Chamber Board Member of the Year was Lisa Chafford. The Innovative Leadership Award went to Kennedy Rice Mill and the J.D. Kelley Memorial Award went to Joyce Ford. A special award was presented to Ralph Odom in recognition of his dedication to the community by bringing Santa to the Christmas parade each year.
In the coming weeks, the Enterprise will highlight each of the award winners.

Though she'll be forever known as the iconic Clair Huxtable from The Cosby Show, there's definitely a whole lot more to actress and director Phylicia Rashad. Most recently, she put the final touches on a new play she's directing which premieres this month at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Immediate Family. And there's more.
In addition to directing plays and acting in films such as Good Deeds, Change of Plans and the upcoming Gods Behaving Badly, she will be a regular on the new NBC suspense drama Do No Harm. Rashad also recently performed together for the first time with her daughter Condola Rashad—who was has been making quite a name for herself on Broadway and was nominated this month for a Tony Award for her role in the Broadway play Stickfly.
Below EBONY chats with Rashad during a break in rehearsal about Immediate Family, her daughter Condola and the general state of television today.
EBONY: You've been directing plays now for about five years. What lead you into that direction?
RASHAD: Well, honestly I was asked to do it. The first time was an invitation to direct August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean at the Seattle Repertory Theatre and it's my favorite play of all time. No one had ever written anything like that before. And then the next invitation came just last year to direct a production of Raisin in the Sun in Los Angles. And actually there were three incarnations of it. The first production was at the Ebony Repertory Theatre, then there was a reprise at Ebony Rep and then there was a third one at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. And then came this invitation for Immediate Family. And this invitation was particularly interesting because after working the two previous plays I asked myself what would it be like to work with a new play with an emerging playwright. Hmmmmmm.
EBONY: So what do you get out of directing? You could have done it once and said O.K that's it, but you obviously get something deeper out of it.
RASHAD: I learn something all the time. I'm learning more about the craft of theater and I'm learning a lot as an actress. Like, for example, most of time we work harder than we need to,bBut it is work. It's definitely work. And this play Immediate Family is a definite workout. You have to have muscles to do it. But it's another kind of skill. A skill that develops over time.
It's all the same to me, it's acting. It is what it is. You have to prepare. You have to prepare the same way though the methods may be different.

We are not "old Black" nor "new Black" we are ALL Black.
EBONY: There are many new plays that go begging to be produced. What drew you this particular one, Immediate Family?
RASHAD: Paul Oakley Stovall, the playwright, was someone who I met recently and we worked together on Ifa Bayeza's play Charleston Olio at the BB King Museum in Mississippi. So he told me that he had written some plays and would like to share them with me and would I like to read them? I said yes, so he send me these two plays. Months pass and he sends me an email saying: "Oh, by the way did I tell you that I wanted you to direct this play?" I said "No you didn't" and he said "Well, I'm asking you would you like to direct this play now?"
EBONY: And when you're in the rehearsal phase of putting a play together what do you discover during that process?
RASHAD: You discover so many subtle connections that run through it. If the playwright knew every little thing about his play, why bother? There must be discovery all the time, otherwise why bother to do it?
EBONY: To go off into another subject, and I know this is a dumb question, but you're no doubt proud of your daughter Condola?
RASHAD: (laughs) Yes I am. I am very proud.
EBONY: Did you try to discourage her from going into the business or was she one of those lucky kids who had parents who said, do whatever you want to do as long as it makes you happy?
RASHAD: Well, when she very, very young she asked for instruction. She asked for a piano teacher, a dance teacher and a reading teacher. She asked for those things when she was three years old. And then shortly after that I took her to see a performance at the Alvin Ailey. She was dressed in her pretty little dress and we want backstage, because I knew some of the people in the company back then, and she looked around and she said: "When is it going to be my time, Mommy?"
She wasn't just growing up watching television and films. She was growing up watching me work. Actually work in the theater. When I did Into The Woods she was barely two, but she was in the theater with me. She was always with me. She was on the set of The Cosby

Pre-war Money has a base value of 10 caps in Fallout 3, and a weight of 0. Obviously, it's a good thing to collect and trade in for caps. Are there any NPCs who value Pre-war Money more than the average merchant? Or, really, is there any use for Pre-war Money besides just selling it to a regular merchant?
It doesn't have any special uses (well, if you don't count the Rock-It launcher...)
If you get bored, you can always try to make piles of this fun/useless stuff and stage your own screenshots.
I found a great example in this thread:
Its only use is selling for caps.
It is a good 'secondary currency' along with Cigarettes. Since vendors run out of caps easily, it is sometimes useful to have something you can convert your heavier items into for transport until you meet another vendor, or they get more caps. Prewar money works quite well for this, though due to the buying and selling you won't get full value.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Short answer: A literal reading of the text would indicate that yes, Adam was created, named the animal, and married all in one day.
Gen 1:1-2:6 gives an overview of the creation of the world. Gen 2:7-25 then goes back and gives additional detail about the creation of Adam and Eve. (There's nothing odd about this, it's a common enough literary technique: first give an overview, then go back and give details about the part you're most interested in.)
Gen 1:26-27 says that God created humans on the sixth day. It specifically says male and female. Gen 2:7 describes the creation of Adam and 2:21-22 describes the creation of Eve. So the plain reading is that 2:7, 2:22, and everything in between therefore happenned on one day.
I don't see any difficulty in supposing that Adam and Eve were both created and married to each other in one day. It's not like they had a lot of choice about potential marriage partners.
Perhaps you struggle with how Adam could have named all the animals in one day? That depends how many animals he named. You often hear how there are millions of species in the world. But the vast majority of those are microscopic, most of the rest are insects or arachnids, and a hefty percentage are sea creatures. The text says Adam named cattle, birds and "every beast of the field". There's no mention of Adam naming fish, insects, or microscopic creatures. If you just count mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians, there are about 30,000 species. Genesis does not spell out how broad or narrow the categories where that he named, and species is pretty narrow. Like did Adam name "dogs" (in whatever language he spoke, of course, not English), or did he name every individual breed? Or for that matter did he just give a name to the broader family that includes dogs, wolves, etc? Realistically, Adam probably named a few thousand animals, maybe as little as a few hundred. If he just went down the line and said, "Okay, I'll call that a 'dog', that's a 'cat', that's a 'moose' ..." etc. he could have named each one in a second or two. At 3 seconds per animal he could name 20 per minute, 1200 per hour, 9600 in an 8-hour working day. Okay, I doubt he kept up a rapid-fire pace of naming for 8 straight hours, but he could have named several thousand animals in a day.
If you want to take the story symbolically or allegorically, then the whole question becomes moot. If it's all just a symbolic story and none of it really happenned, then it's meaningless to talk about how long it took.
Genesis chapter 2 is a telling of the creation account from the perspective of Adam; that is to say it was Adam-centered. First God thought to create man, man needed a home, man needed food, man needed work (taking care of the animals, among other things). The chronological order of creation is found in Genesis chapter 1. Therein we find that creation took 6 days, with God resting on the 7th day.
Since the concept of day doesn't have to mean one 24-hour period, especially since these days started being counted before there was a 24-hour day as we know it, this period of 6 days could be thousands or millions of years. The scriptures relate a day to a year (Eze 4:6), a day to 1,000 years (2 Pe 3:8), a day to a period (day's of Noah, Luke 17:26), or a day to a period corresponding to an event (day of fury, Zeph 1:15). Furthermore, the creative account in the Bible of 6 days doesn't even take in to account things that were created before the 6 days began.
As to the 'evening and morning' part of the verses, consider that it says that even about the first 'day' in which there were still no luminaries (though there are day and night by that time). Additionally, if you note 2:2-3 it mentions that God proceeded to rest (note the original verb tenses here, many translations read 'God rested') implying that the resting has continued. Furthermore, at Heb 4:1-11 Paul indicated that God was still in the 7th day of rest, some 4,000 years after Adam's creation. Also, it seems that the 1,000 year reign of Christ will also be included in God's day of rest as Jesus is called "Lord of the sabbath" (Mt 12:8; Re 20:1-6).
Simply put, the creation of all things took longer than one 24-hour day, but it could be said that all creation occurred in Jehovah's creative day.
In response to your comment on this question consider that Ge 2:23 records Adam as saying 'This is at last bone of my bones...'. That would certainly imply that Adam had been alive for much longer than a single day before Eve was created. Additionally, Adam had to name the creatures on the earth. This job could have taken quite some time, especially since the account mentions that Jehovah brought the animals to Adam to see what Adam would call them, which could imply a period of observation. Then the text adds that there 'was found no helper as a complement of him' further implying that time had passed for the search and for Adam to notice that all animals had a helper/complement but he didn't.

PEG102: Physical Ed 7 B (2012-2013)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Physical Education
COURSE TITLE: Physical Ed 7 B
COURSE LENGTH: 9 weeks
Major Concepts/Content: These semester courses are designed to fully enable seventh grade students to progress in the skill competencies and conceptual knowledge related to the movement and physical activity and personal and social needs of adolescents. Developmentally appropriate concepts of physical fitness, motor skill and personal and social development are included in this course. Students apply appropriate physical activity and fitness concepts to the development of a health-enhancing level of physical fitness. They apply basic biomechanical principles, tactical skills and strategies in modified sports and activities and demonstrate competency in critical elements of serving, bumping, dribbling, scoring, fielding, batting, and forehand and backhand striking. They understand the importance of rules and safety procedures and can define the FITT Principle as it relates to physical fitness development. Students plan ways to do physical activity as part of their daily routine.
Major Instructional Activities: Multiple formative and summative assessment strategies are used to enable students to receive and use descriptive feedback to gain competency and confidence in their movement skills and concepts, physical fitness, and personal and social skills; e.g., observations, checklists, written summaries, authentic performance tasks, rubric scoring scales, tests, and portfolio and product assessment, as well as assessments by the teacher, self, and peers. The adopted DoDEA Physical Fitness Education and Assessment program, with pre and post health-related physical fitness testing, is implemented in this course. Students are assessed on their achievement of understanding of physical fitness and motor skill concepts and principles, competency in the processes of fitness and motor skill performance, and achievement of personal fitness and motor skill goals. It is important that the results (raw data/scores) obtained through the performance tests of physical fitness and motor skills are used to determine appropriate personal goals and student achievement of personal goals and not as grading criteria for this course. Students are graded on what they know and are able to do as a result of the learning that has occurred during the course.
Major Evaluative Techniques: Instructional activities focus on students' needs and interests and are designed to further develop students' movement and physical fitness, as well as, personal and social competency. Students participate in a variety of modified sports, cooperative and individual activities; rhythmic gymnastic; aerobic, folk, line and square dance; physical fitness; and other physical activities. Applications of motor skills, movement principles, and personal and social skills to sport, heart-rate monitor technology, and formal health-related physical fitness assessment are featured. Combining basic elements of movement in rhythmic/dance, fielding, ball control and net/wall sports are emphasized in this course.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- The face of Kansas State University's football stadium will change forever Saturday.
After 20 seasons, the Dev Nelson press box is being torn down to make way for the new $75 million West Stadium Center. The press box opened in 1993 featuring 22 luxury suites and a media center.
"It's very exciting to be working on a project for your alma mater and favorite team. With the success of the Wildcats, it's been awesome. There's been a lot of buzz about around this project," said Bill Hedge, construction executive with Mortenson/GE Johnson Construction.
Construction on the north and south portions of the West Stadium Center has been ongoing throughout the fall.
Mortenson/GE Johnson Construction worked with local authorities and a demolition expert to bring down the building Saturday morning. It's already been stripped down to its shell to cut down on dust and debris.
The landmark structure is being rigged with 172 explosive charges. The implosion will last only seconds.
"It's anticipated that once they push the button, the existing structure will take about 7-8 seconds to crumble in on itself," Hedge told WIBW.
Then it's out with the old and in with the new. Two towers will go up on the north and south end and crews will build the center structure where the old press box used to be.
"A lot of prefabrication has been done off site in the plants, the steel plants. You'll see the north tower shoot up. All that steel has been prefabricated. It's ready to go in place. The south tower will top out here in the next two weeks. Then we'll do the foundation in the center portion and in early February, we'll connect the dots so to say between the two towers," Hedge explained.
"People always ask me, 'Are you going to be done in time?' There's no option. We will be done on time for opening day of 2013," he added.
Officials want fans and Manhattan residents to be aware of the safety guidelines and restrictions being implemented for this process, which has been set for 9 a.m., on December 15, 2012.
The perimeter of Bill Snyder Family Stadium, which includes the west and east parking lots, the Vanier Complex and Bramlage Coliseum, will be restricted to authorized personnel beginning at 7 a.m. on December 15. At 8:50 a.m., and until the completion of the demolition, traffic along College and Kimball Avenues near the stadium will be shut down for safety concerns.
Fans wishing to view the demolition will be directed to the perimeter sidewalks along College Avenue and Kimball Avenue, as well as public access areas to the north and west of Kimball and College. Parking for public viewing will be available in the grassy lot east of the stadium by the Recreation Complex from 6 a.m. until 8:50 a.m.
Fans may also watch the demolition live on K-StateHD.TV at www.kstatesports.com.
The West Stadium Center will feature amenities for all fans at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. New concessions, restrooms and ticket offices will replace the current west side facilities, which were originally built in 1968. Additionally, a new Fan Store and Hall of Honor will be included on the main Concourse Level.
In addition to being a first-class facility for K-State student-athletes and fans, the West Stadium Center at Bill Snyder Family Stadium will serve as the northwest gateway to campus and a rallying point for the University's visionary "K-State 2025" plan. The structure will make a statement to the Big 12 Conference, the nation and prospective student-athletes that K-State is committed to competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics.
The Terrace Level will feature a dining hall to serve the daily dietary needs of all K-State student-athletes. The Tailgate Terrace will be a great place to enjoy the unique tailgate atmosphere of a K-State game day.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th levels of the West Stadium Center will have outdoor Suite, Club and Loge seating. These seats will have the best sight lines in College Football and will be the premier seating area for Wildcat Fans. All suite, loge and club season-ticket holders will enjoy an all-inclusive food and beverage experience in the spacious lounges located behind each seating area.
The 5th level of the West Stadium Center will be designated for media and coaches on game-days and will be the new permanent home for the K-State Media relations office.

MONTREAT, North Carolina (CNN) - Shortly after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney enjoyed cookies and soft drinks with the Rev. Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham on Thursday at the elder Graham's mountaintop retreat, a reference to Mormonism as a cult was scrubbed from the website of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
In a section of the website called Billy Graham's My Answer there had been the question "What is a cult?"
Answer: "A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith."
"Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesess, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spritualists, Scientologists, and others," the site continued.
No longer. On Tuesday, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed that page has recently been removed from the site.
"Our primary focus at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has always been promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Ken Barun, chief of staff for the association, told CNN in a statement. "We removed the information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign."
Romney is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members of which are known as Mormons. The information about cults can be found on cached sections of the website on Archive.org from June 5, 2010.
The theological question of where Mormons fit on the religious spectrum has drawn more attention because of Romney's candidacy. Mormons consider themselves to be strong Christians. Many traditional Christian denominations disagree, though rank-and-file members have their own views on the matter.
The removal of the post from the Graham group's website was first noted by the New Civil Rights Movement website and then later by the Asheville Citizen-Times, which reported that the information on cults was accessed as recently as Thursday afternoon. Last week's meeting between Romney and Graham was their first.
After the 30 minute sit-down in Montreat, North Carolina, just outside Asheville, Romney campaign spokesman Rick Gorka told reporters that Billy Graham led a prayer for the Romneys, saying "I'll do all I can to help you. And you can quote me on that."
The evangelist who has been called America's pastor and has prayed with every American president since Harry Truman said in a statement following the meeting that "It was a privilege to pray with Gov. Romney — for his family and our country."
Graham met with President Barack Obama in 2010 and with Sen. John McCain when he was the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in 2008.
"I will turn 94 the day after the upcoming election, and I believe America is at a crossroads," Graham's statement continued. "I hope millions of Americans will join me in praying for our nation and to vote for candidates who will support the biblical definition of marriage, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms."
When asked about Graham's beliefs about Mormonism, Graham spokesman A. Larry Ross said in a statement that "Through an inclusive evangelistic ministry spanning more than 60 years, Mr. Graham was called to preach the transformative message of the Gospel to the whole world, regardless of one's religious background, affiliation or none. As such, he never proselytized, targeted or labeled specific people, groups, faiths or denominations.
"Neither did Mr. Graham attempt to divide his audience before he had opportunity to preach to them. He has a genuine love for all people, and faithfully proclaimed the love of God to everyone, providing opportunity for them to respond by making a faith commitment.
"Mr. Graham's calling is not to pass judgment, but to proclaim the biblical truth that Jesus is the only way to heaven, allowing every individual and group to fall along that plumb line," the statement went on.
"He further stressed that salvation is the work of Almighty God, and that only He knows what is in each human heart," the statement said.
The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant denomination, lists the LDS Church as a theological cult. The Catholic Church also does not recognize Mormon baptisms as being theologically compatible with its own.
The LDS Church has long bristled at being called a cult. Mormons note the many similarities and overlap between their teachings and that of other churches but point to their belief in other scriptures like the Book of Mormon as the reason they split with other churches.
In the 2012 campaign Romney has been generally quiet about his church, though his role as a lay church leader was prominently featured in the Republican National Convention, and his campaign has allowed members of the press pool accompanying Romney to film him attending services.

Babyproofing Basics: The Top Hazards in Your Home
3 of 12
Sharp Corners
Tables have sharp corners that can cause injury if your child falls into one. Coffee tables especially pose a threat, since babies use these low surfaces to support themselves as they are learning to walk.
Install guards on all tables in your home. Some products are designed to fit on just the corners, and others are designed to wrap around the entire table. If you can't find guards to fit a specific table, consider removing it or moving it to a room your child is never in.
