Is it possible to use Time Machine to back up to an external hard drive connected to a Mac on same wifi network?
Yes. I've been doing this since Snow Leopard. All my MacBook Pros in the house do their Time Machine backups to an external USB drive that's hanging off an iMac running the standard OS X install (i.e. not Server). At the time of writing the iMac has been upgraded to Lion as has one of the MacBook Pros.
First, configure your target machine (the one with the USB drive attached):
Now you need to configure your source machine (the one you want to keep it's Time Machine volume on this drive):
You're now all set up to use this remote drive as your Time Machine backup location. When Time Machine runs you'll see this drive appear as a mount on your system, and when it's done the mount will go away.
If you browse this drive from the target machine you'll see sparsebundle files, one for each machine that's doing a Time Machine backup to this drive, on the disk. These are the actual "disks" that Time Machine is using on each machine to keep the incrementals. If you click on one, it should mount and you should be able to browse it like normal.
If you have a complete disaster and need to do a fresh OS X install and recover from Time Machine you can point the recovery process at the remote drive and it will ask you to pick a sparsebundle from the drive to recover from. Or, and this is what I recommend, you can unattach the drive from your target and attach it via USB to your machine and do the restore over USB which is much faster.
I can confirm that complete restores from Time Machine backups kept in this manner work well. I've had to do two of them in the past few years on machines that keep their backups this way and both went smashingly well. Browsing Time Machine history in the Time Machine viewer can be a bit laggy, but it does work.
The answer by Ian C. is correct. However, one small (but important) detail has been overlooked (one that took me a good hour to figure out!).
If the drive is not showing up in Time Machine on your Source Machine (the machine you want to back up), do the following:
Now go back to your Source Machine and your External Drive should show up in the list of Time Machine Backup Disks!
If the Mac is running OS X Server (In 10.7, not sure if this is available for 10.6) then you can turn on Time Machine Server, which does exactly what you need. There's no need to run any of the other server tools if you don't want. this is the only officially supported way to do this that I know of.
If your backups are really important and you need a much more stable system for doing backups either remotely, wirelessly, online or an external drive, then I describe the best way how to do this below.
A hard drive used for Time Machine backups requires an HFS+ journaled partition which gets corrupted and unmountable very easily. Your signal getting cut off, a cable getting detached, the power going off, or your computer crashing during a backup is all it could take to have big problems. Often Disk Utility cannot repair the disk and you lose all your stored data.
This is why using Time Machine over wireless is risky (time capsules are expensive but do seem to be more reliable); be really sure that you have a good, reliable WiFi signal and set up your router to use a channel different than any other WiFi sources. (The free program WiFi Scanner is great for analyzing WiFi interference.)
My backup hard drive had a habit of mysteriously disconnecting without properly ejecting numerous times and I have lost files; most of my video, graphics, and photos which take up more storage then my laptop can hold.
I do video editing and design and for my situation I need something more reliable and flexible. It's worth it to me to spend a little extra money on this software because losing data had cost me in more ways than one. Here is an excerpt from their website:
I use xTwin with an external USB teradrive. HFS+ Journaled formatting is so easy to corrupt and lose your data with but Time Machine requires it. So far the best solution I believe is to use xTwin with NFTS formatted drive. I learned that NFTS is much more stable and a lot easier to do data recovery with. Disk Utility does not come standard with this format, but you can get software such as Paragon which adds this option into disk utility. It is much more important to me to have reliable backups than versions and the cool time machine way of accessing older files.
I will stick with this until Apple proves they have made a more stable filing system for backups.
I had the same issue with TM not recognizing/mounting a TM-formatted NAS volume. After 2 days of reading forums and tinkering, my solution was a variation on the SMB - AFP issue. As I have not seen my issue & solution explained elsewhere, I am posting it here.
Running 10.7.5 on a MBA. Backup destination is a Synology DS214play, running DSM 5.0 with native TM-support.
We also have Mac Mini's running 10.6 and the process for pointing TM to the Synology NAS was very straight-forward which ruled out a problem with the Synology NAS. This was the major source of confusion. The different OS versions seem to create a subtle, but crucial difference in how TM handles this.
On the MBA (10.7.5), mounting the drive through finder and setting it to always re-mount during start-up was straight-forward. I paid attention to the SMB / AFP formats when setting everything up on the partition on the NAS. When mounting the drive on the MBA, it recognizes and displays only the drive name ("DiskStation"). In the background, it was defaulting to an smb format despite me having specified the afp format on the destination drive.
Solution: instead of selecting and mounting the drive with a mouse-click, manually enter the IP address of the destination with an afp-prefix. TM then instantly recognized the destination volume. Somewhere between 10.6 and 10.7.5 something was changed causing TM to default to adding an SMB-prefix to the destination volume. Tricky because it is then hidden. Hope this helps.
It works even though Apple support told me it wouldn't.
Important step that I missed:
Open Finder on the machine to be backed up. Find your target machine and click on it. MOUNT the drive on this machine—i.e. make sure that the back up drive on is visible on your Finder sidebar as a separate entity (File Add to Sidebar).
I also portioned my backup Mac with a 500G partition for the backup to ensure no corruption etc. on the backup Mac with other applications.
Not possible that I know.
Only if connected to AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Station) or server as far as I know

More women have driver's licenses than men in US
|This Nov. 2, 2012 file photo shows Diane Spitaliere and her pet dog Izzie sitting in her car outside her house in Alexandria, Va. Women have passed men on the nationís roads. More women now have driverís licenses than men, a reversal of a longtime gender gap behind the wheel that transportation researchers say is likely to have significant safety and economic implications.

WASHINGTON — Women have passed men on the nation's roads. More women than men now have driver's licenses, a reversal of a longtime gender gap behind the wheel that transportation researchers say is likely to have safety and economic implications.
If current trends continue, the gap will only widen. The share of teens and young adults of both sexes with driver's licenses is declining, but the decline is greater for young men, according to a study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute. The study looked at gender trends in driver's licenses between 1995 and 2010.

In a few of my entries on Lang-8.com, several of my Chinese friends have changed 平常 into 通常 and vice versa without providing additional explanation. It it just a matter of personal taste?

The two words share the same character "常"(common, usual,eternal), so the meanings overlap somewhat. Both of them can mean "commonly, usually", however, they are not exactly the same.
"平常" means (notice 平 means "plain,commonplace" here)
"通常" means
When something is ordinary, usually you could say it's the most possible case or it's common, that's how the two words have the similar meaning.
sometimes 平常 is used as an adjective,you can say someone is 平常,But you can't say someone is 通常,or you can say some situation is 平常.
Generally, it is the same in speaking, but 通常 is more formal and better use it in a formal contextual.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy for Large Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas
William Levin, MD
University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
Last Modified: November 7, 2001
Presenter: T.F. DeLaney
Presenter's Affiliation: Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Type of Session: Scientific
The management of extremity soft tissue sarcomas has evolved from amputation to limb sparing surgery with radiation therapy. While local control rates are generally quite high, the development of distant metastases remains a significant problem. This current study was undertaken to determine if the addition of chemotherapy reduces the incidence of metastases and increases overall survival
Materials and
Author's Conclusions
Treatment with neoadjuvant MAID chemotherapy interdigitated with preoperative radiotherapy, surgery, and postoperative MAID chemotherapy +/- postoperative boost radiotherapy appears to be effective in reducing distant metastases and increasing disease free survival and overall survival in this population, as compared to historic controls who mostly had surgery and radiation therapy.

I am looking for a digital camera, other than the DSLR types, that has a remote shutter release. My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and can't use a larger style camera. What are some smaller type cameras that can use the remote shutter buttons?
That is a good question and the answer is a bit tricky to find. You basically have to search for any other criteria you want using Neocamera's Camera Finder and then filter on either Wired Remote or Infrared Remote towards the bottom of the orange box next to the search results. Then you need to either ignore the DSLRs that show up, or simply filter on the category you are looking for (Compact, Ultra-Zoom, Large, etc) near the top of the orange box.
The results show only the Oympus XZ-1 to have a wired-remote among compacts. There are also 9 large ones. Three ultra-compacts have wireless remotes too. Finally the Sony NEX-5 also has a wireless remote.
PS: It does not take long to search for these things but when someone is looking for NOT something, there is no easy way. I don't know of any camera site that lets you do that. So it is probably better to specify what you do want instead of a DSLR.
Either the Canon PowerShot G11, or the newly-released G12 may be what you need. While they are on the large side for P&S cameras, they are quite a bit smaller than a DSLR, and both support a wired remote shutter release.
Another option is to use CHDK on a supported Canon compact camera. One of the many features of CHDK is a shutter release using the USB port. I have not used this myself, and it may be out of your comfort zone to get a non-official firmware running on your camera, build a custom cable for the release, and so forth.
Dpreview has a clever feature search tool. It can do exactly the search you described in the question.
It is found in the top bar under "Buying Guide" tab. See the pull-down menu and select "Camera feature search" (See a screenshot below). Select the type of camera(s) you are interested in. In the screenshot I've selected three camera types, which now show highlighted. Then click open the "Advanced Search Filters" and look for "Remote control". Check the tick-mark for it.
At this moment the search for compact and ultra-compact cameras with remote control finds 34 matches. It does not reveal the type of remote control, so you have to dig thru the reviews whether it is a wireless remote or wired, and what kind of control. Perhaps it would be good to also verify your findings from the manufacturer's support pages or camera model spec sheets.
A few samples picked up from those 34 search results:
I have no connection to dpreview, I just have found this search tool so handy that I can recommend it to others.
Many of the Pentax compact cameras support IR remote. If you want a more rugged design, the Pentax Optio W90 has a waterproof remote available. For a more classic look, the Pentax Optio I-10 is a nice option and a remote is available. There are others as well, depending on desired features or taste.
I can't really say about other brands, though I'm sure that they have them.
We are both electronics and photography passionate, working in the last two years at a new generation wireless remote, Time Lapse, camera project. You can control the camera at max 30ft/10mt of distance, simply pushing a button on the smartphone.
Initially it was suitable for my Nikon D50, but we are also developing for variuos compact and reflex cameras.
Firmware tested so far on:
We make a smart device attached via USB to the camera for more control (beside we can use the simple shutter port). For example we can change ISO, Aperture or Time Speed directly from our Open Source Android app via bluetooth connection.
We are at the 3rd version, now Remote Shooter 3.0 is a smart device for Wireless remote shutter, time lapse and more, and it control wireless your digital camera from an smartphone Android app, tablet or a PC.
For specific needs (maybe useful for your wife), shutter release can be triggered from a simple shake (yes a simple shake) of the smartphone, or when a sound is detected from the phone mic (it's enough a clap or simply say "shoot!" or whatever), a text message and so on. The app for Android will be released as open source, fully customizable, with a large button for an example.
The project is the Pic-Ap-Board project.

From where can I download Ubuntu SDK for mobile application development? I can not find any links.
The installation instructions for the Ubuntu SDK can be found at the Ubuntu App Developer Site. The guide currently only supports Ubuntu as the installation host, but since the SDK is based on Qt5 and QtQuick 2.0 you should be able to port (integrate) it yourself to other platforms after installing Qt5 (see the Qt5 Download Page).
The problem is that you won't be able to test the full functionality of your applications yet, as on the desktop you'll need to run the them using Qt's QML viewer (
There might be an emulator in the future, but it isn't clear yet when it will be released and if there will be a Windows version of it.
So I think the best solutions for you are:

American investments flow into Mexico. And Mexico is a free
democratic nation, despite the fears and even the certainties of
many Americans.
We might also recall that a few short months ago many Americans
identified the nationalism of Nasser and his seizure of the
Suez Canal as communism. By confusing nationalism with communism
we came very near to forcing Egypt into the arms of the Soviet
Naturally we are concerned that the revolutionary situation
in Cuba -- her new nationalism -- not be turned toward the extreme
of communism which can be as destructive of individual liberty as
the most totalitarian dictatorship. But if our concern finds
expression in tactless actions, outright opposition, or even
threatened intervention, we may in fact force the revolution in the
very direction we most fear,
Mr. President, I suggest, it is good for us to recall from time
to time our own revolutionary beginnings. I rather suspect that
during the revolutionary and post- revolutionary period in this country
many of the British must have looked upon this nation and its
great revolutionary heroes much as we now look upon Dr. Castro.
Dr. Castro symbolizes and leads a social and political revolution
of great significance. It has not yet run its course. The
United States, as a neighbor to a people who have always been
friendly and close to us -- indeed a people whom we assisted in
severing their bonds with a colonial power -- must now be
understanding and patient.
I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not support many of
the things Dr. Castro has done. Although I recognize the right of
a sovereign nation to expropriate property with just compensation,
I oppose- expropriation of private property without such compensation.
I certainly oppose Intervention in any country, direct or indirect,
which may be supported by Cuban forces or connivance, just as I
would oppose intervention by the United States in any American
What I urge is that we seek to understand the tremendous forces
unleashed in the Caribbean area and that we seek to work with those
forces, not against them. The will require the utmost patience
and understanding on our part. But only such patience and moderation
can be expected to develop a relationship with Cuba, which in
the years ahead will be to oar mutual advantage.,
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to insert in the Record
at this point two newspaper columns, and one letter from Mr. Albert

A new way to stretch.
The machine enables a soft and progressive lengthening of all posterior chain muscles with variations on the level of engagement of the different muscles. Users who spend a considerable amount of time on their feet will benefit greatly from the position in which the legs are raised.
Key FeaturesPatent Pending
The FLEXability™ line owes its unique performance and results to an innovative technological system, the SELFLEX (Patent pending). This system, which has been exclusively developed by Technogym, enables users to gently modulate the extent of muscle elongation by the gradual and proportional intervention of their own weight, thereby avoiding potentially dangerous situations.Superior Results in Less Time
The FLEXability™ line works on the main muscle groups, chiefly stretching the shorter 'ring' of the muscle chain in a simple and effortless way. Compared to traditional stretching, which works on the main muscle groups, the FLEXability™ line maximizes effectiveness by reducing the duration of the exercise and delivering excellent results at the same time.Visual Feedback
FLEXability™ is the only range of equipment that enables the user to measure the progress of joint flexibility through the integrated feedback system that shows progress and results, which keeps users motivated and stimulated.Safety Brake System
Each machine is equipped with a brake system for total equipment stability in order that users can maintain the stretch position in complete safety and comfort. The brake system also enables the user to switch modes, progressing gradually from the static to the dynamic mode.Bodyprint
The FLEXability™ line uses 'Memory' for back supports, seats and anterior rolling carts. This innovative new material guarantees maximum exercise comfort, as the special filling moulds to the individual's body shape.Angle Stretch Regulation
The anterior machine rolling cart features three different stretching angles - 0°, 20°, 45° - to expand the range of exercises and increase the lengthening of thigh muscles.Easy to Move
The FLEXability™ line has wheels that make it easy to move should you want to make space avaible for other activities.
Fitness Facilities
Effectiveness of FLEXability™ Method.
The FLEXability™ range enables an initial assessment of flexibility and a continuous monitoring of improvement. The comprehensive feedback helps motivate clients and prevent likelihood of dropout, offering users an easy, comfortable and quick approach to stretching.
The FLEXability™ Zone makes stretching a uniquely relaxing and thoroughly effective experience, enabling you to run a profitable business with new offers, activities and second-spend opportunities, differentiating you from your competitors.
Attraction and retention. The FLEXability™ range will help you to attract new clients, especially baby boomers, wanting or needing regular stretching, posture alignment and back pain prevention. The retention rate of existing clients will increase, thanks to your new activities for injury prevention and performance improvement through stretching.
Medical CentersTreatment and prevention of back pain
The FLEXability™ Method enables clients to carry out the appropriate prevention and treatment of back pain cases, easily and effectively.Method and Measurements
The FLEXability™ Method enables physiotherapists to assess and monitor a patient's improvement using a certified method that is supplied with the equipment.Value for money
The method can be carried out by users autonomously so, instead of a 1:1 approach, physiotherapists can see more patients at the same time, increasing revenues.
Corporate WellnessEasy solution
The FLEXability™ Method can be performed in everyday clothes without breaking a sweat, eliminating the need for a changing room. The Method is supported by self-explanatory educational materials and can be carried out easily.Stress management.
The perfect solution to regain energy and recover from the effects of prolonged periods of sitting down or even jet lag.Increased productivity
The Method contributes to the reduction of absenteism related to back pain problems (this accounts for 30-40% of workplace absences). A better physical and mental condition combined with the opportunity to prove improvement increases employee motivation and productivity.
Spa, Hotel and Leisure
Unlike the traditional approach, the new FLEXability™ Method reduces muscular tension, enabling clients to achieve a long-lasting and active relaxation.
Anti-ageing effects
Help with back pain prevention and posture alignment helps regain a youthful appearance and gait.
New revenue streams.
By offering this new solution you will differentiate yourself from all other competitors and attract new customers.

It is a banana cupcake with buttercream frosting, chocolate ganache, and a cherry. The buttercream frosting is supposed to be made with margarine and vegetable shortening, but we had no shortening so I made it with just the maragarine. It made the icing a little softer and a little creamier (and a little messier), but in that sense was more like whipped cream than frosting. I think I actually preferred it that way for this recipe.

I have a very humid basement, in which I run a dehumidifier often. To allow for a more constant run, I purchased a dehumidifier pump. It says to run the pump out through a window or to a sink. I don't have a sink and I am worried about using the window in the winter (freezing, etc.). My question is, Is there a way I could use the standpipe that my washer drain goes into? It is in relatively good proximity to where I would be setting up the dehumidifier.
Yes, there should be no problem with doing that, provided you're within distance constraints of the pump. The washer stand pipe should just be a vertical pipe, with your washer drain going inside it, and not actually connected/sealed. This is done so that there is a vacuum break. You should simply put the pipe from this pump along side the washer pipe in the same way - do not attach it with fittings, otherwise you risk water from the pump going into your washer, or more likely, drain water from the washer going into the pump.
In this picture, the white pipe is the standpipe, the black is the drain connected to the washer.
Basically, just put the pipe from your dehumidifier pump alongside the black pipe.
To echo @Jeff Widmer, you may want to tie the pipes down afterwards (a zip tie or some electrical tape around the whole thing may work), just to be sure neither pipe ever slips out and sprays everywhere. Again, don't seal this up or use fittings - you specifically need an air gap.
I don't see why not: if you run it to a sink, it's going to go down the drain to a pipe which runs to your sewer or septic line, same as your washer.
To prevent water from the washer from backing up inside the hose from the pump, you'd need to make sure that the hose feeds downward before entering the washer's drainpipe, so at the very least you should mount the hose so that there's a few feet of vertical drop above where you connect it.
Our house has a pump to move the AC condensate, the washer stand pipe has a t/y so that the washer goes into the side and then the pipe continues up for a foot or so and then the discharge from the pump drops in the top. Also, the discharge pipe is slightly above the top of the standpipe to leave an air gap.
The discharge from ours is a thin flexible copper pipe, so we don't have any thing tying it down, but if yours is plastic you probably want to attach it somehow, just so it doesn't fall over and spill water on the floor. You should maintain an air gap, but honestly, if you go the t/y route, the entrance the washer uses will provide an opening that water can't rise above.
Is there not a floor drain in the basement? Typically all basements will have a floor drain in case there is any water. Most of the time the furnace will drain into this. Where does your furnace drain to today?
Sometimes this basement floor drain will then go to a sump pump, to be carried out of the house.

There exist a constant $C>0$, a compact $K\subset\mathbb R$ and $h_0>0$ such that for every $|h| \leq h_0$ and every $x\in\mathbb R\setminus K$
$|h|^{-1}|f(x+h) - f (x)| \leq C |f'(x)|$
EDIT: and there exists a $\tilde C>0$ such that $|f'(x)|>\tilde C$ for $x\in\mathbb R\setminus K$.
EDIT 2: my intuition is that such an $f$ may look like this: the first derivative stays always positive and oscillates (around g(x)=|x| for example), the oscillations becoming both faster and larger in amplitude when $x$C goes to infinity.
Many thanks.

Christine Clifford, founder of The Cancer Club, shares her thoughts
Christine Clifford
Last Modified: December 1, 2006
I was diagnosed with cancer on December 19th (also my youngest son's birthday) and had my surgery for breast cancer on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, "cancer has its own calendar". So I understand the additional stress and depression that affects cancer patients and their families on top of the normal holiday blues. Below are a few suggestions from a Chapter entitled How to Support a Loved One With Cancer, from my newest book, Cancer Has Its Privileges: Stories of Hope & Laughter, will help your loved one with cancer have a wonderful holiday season --- one that shall forever remain etched in their memories as one of their best...
Cancer at Christmas...Could the Timing Be Any Worse?
Plan to do something for the patient to acknowledge the holidays despite their protests to the contrary. Bring over a small tree, a wreath for the door, decorations for hospital rooms or homes. Help address and mail holiday greeting cards, and the biggest gift of all? Take the decorations down after the holiday season comes to an end!
Create Holiday Cheer at the Hospital for Your Loved Ones
Facing surgery during the holidays can be very depressing for the entire family. Organize a "comfort party" at the hospital or home, complete with carolers and holiday treats. Bring food and beverages along with a holiday guest book for visitors to sign.
Cooking for Comfort and Holiday Cheer
The thought of cooking a holiday meal at the end of the day after having treatments can send even the most positive cancer patient into a downward spiral. Bring a holiday feast, complete with a holiday tablecloth and napkins. Come bake cookies for the day and let the aroma of freshly baked treats fill the house with the smells of the season.
Create a Concert for the Heart
Music can help relax any cancer patient and help take their mind off upcoming treatments or surgery. Post operation, it can soothe anxieties and help patients fall asleep. Bring over some holiday music or arrange for a musician to come play the piano, guitar or just sing carols for the cancer patient. The patient will appreciate the gesture and may even hum or sing along!
Christine Clifford, CSP, is the author of four books including Not Now...I'm Having a No Hair Day! And Our Family Has Cancer, Too!, written especially for children. Her company, The Cancer Club, offers over forty holiday gift items for cancer patients including books, videotapes, audio cassettes, PC Software, custom jewelry, t-shirts, ornaments, posters, etc. Visit The Cancer Club or order Christine's books at: www.cancerclub.com
Don't forget to laugh! TM
Warm regards, Christine

A former youth leader at a central Kentucky church has been indicted on 45 counts that involve sending sexual emails to underage girls.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports a Boyle County grand jury issued the indictment this week against 29-year-old Jonathan David Hall, who had worked at Southland Christian Church in Danville.
The indictment includes charges first brought in September involving a Lexington teen and new charges alleging three more victims.
The indictment includes four counts of unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual activities, four counts of distribution of obscene matter to minors and 37 counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.
Hall was lodged in the Boyle County jail, where online records did not indicate whether he has an attorney.

The Party
The Highland Park Country Club buzzed with more than 320 guests during the 18th annual Myra Rubenstein Weis Health Resource Center Luncheon.
The Highlights
After a cocktail reception and silent auction filled with travel-themed lots, noted physician Bruce E. Brockstein was recognized for his many contributions to the field of oncology. Another impressive achievement: The luncheon netted more than $75,000 for the LIFE Cancer Survivorship Program at NorthShore University HealthSystem. –Photos by Jon Hillenbrand


text: This is just a quick drawing of a cherry style heart tattoo design that I wanted to create for someone that asked me to. It's a very simple shape of a heart with a hook style stem to make it look like a cherry. You can add any type of additions you may like to liven up the drawing. I decided that I would only draw a cherry heart in a very simple and plain way so that the artists who tackled this lesson, can tweak it to their specifications. It's always nice to let your creativity flow, so how about showing folks how you can turn something simple, into something amazing. Upload your finished work of your cherry heart in a whole new way. I'm sure you can conjure up something nice.

Want to make it to 100 and older? Your odds are better if you are a woman.
Statistics released from the 2010 census by the U.S. Census Bureau on Dec. 10 revealed that for every 100 women that make it to at least 100, there are only 20.7 men who do the same.
But, the statistics also revealed that getting to 100 isn't an easy feat. Fewer than two people out of 10,000 will make it to that ripe old age. The majority of centenarians - 62.5 percent - were 100 or 101, with 92 percent of the population being between the ages of 100 to 104. Only 0.6 percent of those 100 and over - 330 people -- reached 110 or older. However, the number of people making it to that century mark has increased 5.8 percent since 2000.
An overwhelming 85.7 of people who are at least 100 lived in an urban area, with the majority living in the South, followed by the Midwest, Northeast and the West. The state with the most centenarians was California with 5,921. In comparison, Alaska only had 40 centenarians.
In 82.5 percent of the cases the person was white, which is interesting when considering that only 72.4 percent of the total U.S. population is Caucasian. Latinos only made up 5.8 percent of centenarians, but they make up 16.3 percent of the population.
One other key difference: Women are more likely to reach that age in a nursing home, whereas men are more likely to get to 100 or older if they are living in a household.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and I was wondering if it's possible to show a login banner with text... my company's IT policy requires that some generic text be shown at login. I've seen where you can change the background, so I guess I could make a background with the text in it, but I wanted to see if there is another way.
In Ubuntu 11.04, I was able to do this with the following commands...

What is the earliest halachic source for the minhagim of mourning during sefira? Note that this does not mean the story of R' Akiva, I'm talking about halachic references to prohibitions such as not cutting hair, not listening to music etc.

The Beit Yosef (OC 493) quotes Rabbeinu Yerocham (~1350 CE) who quotes "Geonim" who mention a custom not to get married between Pesach and Shavuot.
In addition to the answer from Double AA, the Beit Yosef goes on to say ויש מקומות שנהגו שלא להסתפר .{There are places where the custom is not to have a haircut} during this period. Mishna Berura 493 (1) [3] says one may make a festive meal for an engagement but not to make ריקודין ומחולות {dancing}. Rabbi Mansour writes that the Magen Abraham adds that one should also refrain from listening to music during the Omer period. Although the Shulhan Aruch makes no mention of this practice, Jews have accepted this custom and one should therefore not listen to music during the first thirty-three days of the Omer.

The Prevalence of Peanut Allergy
In This Article:
Dr. Young stresses that schools should approach this problem on a case-by-case basis. Every school should identify students with food allergies and have a written action plan in place for each child, signed by his or her doctor. If an allergic student has been prescribed an EpiPen®, he or she must have one easily accessible at the school, in case of a reaction. Depending on the age of the student, strategies to avoid peanut exposure may include the following:
- No peanut products in the classroom (not even for science and art projects)
- Peanut-free zones in the cafeteria
- No food sharing
- Hand washing before and after eating
Further guidelines for schools can be found on the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (www.foodallergy.org).

Obamacare was misrepresented
June 30, 2013
To the editor: The so-called Obamacare death panel was not a politically motivated scare tactic but a harsh and horrifying reality for seniors across America who are now being denied life-saving......
I wonder why obummer wants to disable his shinning star of legislation before elections? One would think he would want it out there standing tall to gain votes. What is he afraid of.

Ohiodem, I don't care where you think obumocare originated. Over 70% of Americans were against it. Intelligent people know it is a mistake, that it will never work. Even the idiot speaker of the house at the time had no idea what was in the bill because it was 1,000+ pages of BS, favors, exemptions for some, all designed to destroy America from within. Overall, what did the big eared Kenyan and his communist cadre accomplish? The welfare slobs that already had coverage got coverage? Young people that didn't need a high dollar policy now have to pay for one or get fined, oops, I mean taxed? You got to see a preview of what is to come with the little girl that was denied a set of lungs until the family took it to fox news.

This mid term will be the most important in years. Conservatives need to keep the house at the very least. If they can take the Senate Obama won't be able to do a thing. Like clinton, obummer will have to sign bills he really doesn't want to or really hurt the progressives for a long time.

Obamacare in general is a political "tool." The liberal agenda relies upon the failure of the US economy, and more people being dependent on government. The fastest and most direct way to ensure this would happen is to pass into law a program that will increase unemployment, weaken the middle class, and punish the successful wealthy people that create jobs.

Obama admin delays major requirement of health law!!!!!!
Is the worst president in history playing politics with your health care? Yes! He doesn't want large numbers of employees being laid off because of Obamacare before the mid-term elections. People with out health care will need to go another year without healthcare because Obama is playing politics with your health. Another year of waiting to see a doctor that is real nice. Only votes matter to him not your health.

using the web developer toolbar for firefox works great - Web Developer Toolbar
it prints hex values in organized squares and also displays rendered hex colors visually.
How to use: Web Developer Tool Bar > Information > View Color Information
There are quite a few solutions that can scrape the site for colors, images, and code creating a palette for you to sample or download. Take a look at: http://www.colorcombos.com/
You can also download a color picker plugin or add-on for your browser. These let you click on a colour (im canadian, we use a "u") and it tells you the hex.

Play Sardines
This game is a variation of "hide and seek." It is best played outdoors. "Sardines" can be played with two or more players.
- One player is "it" and he or she goes off to hide while the other players count to 100 by 2's or 5's.
- When the other players have finished counting, they call out, "coming ready or not!" (or something similar to warn the player who is hiding).
- Everyone goes off to find "it," seeking separately.
- As each player finds "it," he or she hides in the same space, until finally, all the players are squeezed into the hiding place.
- The first player to find "it" becomes "it" for the next game.

|Navy Fitness Standards
|Male -- Age 55-59
The Navy Physical Fitness Test consists of push-ups, curl-ups (sit-ups), and either running or swimming. In basic training, swimming is not an option. All boot camp recruits are measured by performing push-ups, curl-ups (sit-ups) and running 1 1/2 miles.
PRT SCORING. The Navy PFT score is determined by averaging the scores of the three fitness events.
For example, let's say a 25 year old female does 91 curl-ups (sit ups), 26 push-ups, and completes the 1.5 mile run in 15:23. Looking at the female age 25-29 chart, we see that is worth 85 points for the curl-ups, 65 points for the push ups, and 55 points for the running event.
To find the average, we add the scores together, then divide by 3. 85 + 65 + 55 = 205. 205/3 = 68. This sailor would receive a PRT score of 68, which we can see on the below chart is categorized as "Good (Medium)."
To graduate boot camp, a sailor needs an overall category of "Good (Low)," which means their average in three events must be 60 points or greater.
After boot camp, to pass the periodic Navy fitness test, a sailor needs to be in the Satisfactory (Medium) category, or above, which means they must have an average score of at least 50.

The Secrets of Mary Bowser (Large Print / Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Based on a remarkable true story, The Secrets of Mary Bowser is an inspiring tale of one daring woman's willingness to sacrifice her own freedom to change the course of history
All her life, Mary has been a slave to the wealthy Van Lew family of Richmond, Virginia. But when Bet, the willful Van Lew daughter, decides to send Mary to Philadelphia to be educated, she must leave her family to seize her freedom.
Life in the North brings new friendships, a courtship, and a far different education than Mary ever expected, one that leads her into the heart of the abolition movement. With the nation edging toward war, she defies Virginia law by returning to Richmond to care for her ailing fatherand to fight for emancipation. Posing as a slave in the Confederate White House in order to spy on President Jefferson Davis, Mary deceives even those who are closest to her to aid the Union command.
Just when it seems that all her courageous gambles to end slavery will pay off, Mary discovers that everything comes at a costeven freedom.

I use Sony Vegas for video production but would like to be able to create more visual effects.
Are there any cheaper alternatives for Adobe's After Effects? Or is there an extension for Vegas?
I use Sony Vegas for video production but would like to be able to create more visual effects.
Are there any cheaper alternatives for Adobe's After Effects? Or is there an extension for Vegas?
Blender does have compositing capability, and can be used to do some of the stuff that AE does. It's free, but you have to learn how to use it, so how highly you value your time counts in the final equation.
If you want to see Blender in action as a compositor you can see the "Tears of Steel" short film made with Blender last year.
After Effects is an extremely powerful tool, not just because of the out of box abilities but also its integration with 3rd party plugins...In some degrees I could say it can compete with Nuke which is like 4k, and even more for Nuke X
In terms of Pro-sumer/ boarder-line Professional Software these two are in a league of their own, being both MAC and PC compatible also is a huge advantage for them over, well there really isn't any competition.
After Effects has a 30-day free trial and Nuke has a 15-day free trial, also if you are a student you can get AE for just a couple hundred on its own, and will work great with Vegas, just need to export and import VFX clips. Same would be for Nuke, however obviously much more expensive and probably not in your budget so...
To simply answer your question, no...Use the 30-day free trial, and if you like it, find someone who is a student (if your not) and get it via the student discount.
HitFilmFX integrates nicely with Sony Vegas Pro 12. It is much cheaper than AE. Take a look at Sony Vegas Pro 12 Suite. There is also Boris RED and Boris Continuum Complete for Sony Vegas, GenArts products, NewBlueFX...
NOT really alternatives but you can look into these tools too..
As i said, these are not Proper alternatives..
But many simple and at par professional level performance can be expected from these.
The third and slighlty interesting item is the Nova Cut Pro. (A free movement, still under development) . Warning: i am not sure about its capabilities and disabilities. But i have read from their blog that , it provides powerful solutions for distributed editing requirements. You can(should) take a look and go through their blogs before trying it.

This guy in a video seemed to be unaffected by his partner's chokehold. Is it possible to be immune to chokeholds?
Pretend chokes
The video is of a lame, contrived demo. The "choke" in it is not performed effectively. It's a farce of a choke. The reason this strutting bodybuilder is "immune" to the choke is that it's not a legitimate choke in the first place.
If you know someone who thinks they can't be choked, I think Marcelo Garcia would be interested in testing that hypothesis:
Note, by the context of the conversation, Stephan means "big or strong".
Everyone can be choked.
So far, everyone who competes has shown themselves to be chokeable. Jon Fitch was notoriously resistant to being choked out...until he was guillotined into unconsciousness by Josh Burkman.
Strong necks can resist poorly-applied chokeholds and can, to a minor degree, prevent the attacker from getting into position for a good choke. But so far, everyone has proved to be chokeable. People can have good choke defense just like they can have a good guard, but so far no one has shown themselves to be "immune".
No, you cannot be immune. imho even training to "resist" it is stupid. completely stupid. If someone is choking you out, he WILL succeed, even if you resist for 5 seconds longer.
Air choking are easier to notice ( ... your cant breath) and fighting against your opponent's hold is alot easier. It will helps endure it, allow you to take little bit of air in, etc.
A choke that prevents blood to get to your brain is seriously hard to even noticed. my coach did it to me as a "welcome" to the elite class ... I though I was holding against, and didnt even realised I fell unconscious. I stayed down only half a second. I "woke" up, not knowing where I was or what had happened. I didnt even realised he choked me out until someone else told me.
No! This is a ridiculous question. No one is immune to being choked in the same way no is immune to having their arm broke.
A choke hold basically is used to
As far as i know, there should not be anyway to be immune by the effects of a chokehold, but there are ways to increase your tolerance level to the attacks. The shaolin monks or shaolin schools has several types of excercise that assist in developing / increasing ones tolerance level.
-WARNING - the video below is to illustrate the high levels of training that enables one to achieve this. In no way whatsoever should you imitate this. These people have decades of training.
One is to safely hang yourself by the neck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfUUHOmWgZE
This basically strengthens your neck as well as increasing tolerance level towards choking.
If you have a training partner, it would be good to practise everyday and time yourself.

I've never been able to figure out how to use Celes' Runic skill to any effect in battle. Is it for a secret boss? What does it do?
Celes' Runic ability will absorb the first spell cast by anyone during the time that it is active, and use that to replenish her MP. If no one casts a spell, then Celes effectively wastes her turn.
The advantage to this skill is that you can avoid extremely damaging magic attacks with it. For instance, if you are worried that a Brachiosaur is going to use Ultima on you, using Runic will protect your party from taking damage, while giving Celes a MP boost.
There are certain restrictions, however. Only certain weapons work with this skill. For instance, all swords, spears, daggers and katanas are compatible with it. Although it works with almost all magic spells (ie, those that your characters can learn via Espers), not all enemy skills are absorbed with it, although most are.
For a list of all the special cases and other info regarding this skill, consult the relevant Final Fantasy Wikia article.

TEMPLE (October 9, 2012)--A Temple resident and a Waco resident will be presented with the highest cadet honor for Civil Air Patrol (CAP), the Spaatz Award.
It is presented to cadets who have demonstrated excellence in leadership, character, fitness, and aerospace education.
Cadets devote an average of 5 years to achieve 16 objectives in the CAP program followed by a rigorous four-part exam.
The exam consists of multiple choice questions on leadership and aerospace, and a challenging fitness test.
On average, it is estimated that about two cadets per 1,000 earn the prestigious award.
Upon passing the Spaatz Award exams, the cadet is promoted to the grade of cadet colonel.
Both Joshua Pravel of Waco and John Gomez-Simmons of Temple received the award the same day in August.
An award ceremony to recognize their achievements is slated for Saturday at the Cultural Activities Center.
Another presentation will be for the Billy Mitchell Award, an award that marks completion of the second of four phases in the program.
Fritz Sala will be presented with the Billy Mitchell Award, allowing him to be promoted to cadet second lieutenant.
Vice Commander Lt. Gen. Douglas H. Owens will present the awards beginning at 11 a.m.
The ceremony is expected to end around noon.
The Spaatz Award is named in honor of Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, the first Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force.
Among his many achievements, General Spaatz served as the first chairman of the Civil Air Patrol National Board.

For more than fifty years, Dickinson College has operated its own global study and research centers. These centers immerse students in the study of foreign language. They foster a deeper understanding of the political, social, cultural, and economic histories of the countries and regions where they are located. And they form a worldwide network of living laboratories from which students can trace the causes and consequences of global forces, examine differing policy responses to global change, and assess and learn from successes and failures.
This network has been carefully built and is continually enhanced. Most of our centers have been located purposefully in provincial capitals. Dickinson's deep relationships in these smaller cities provide our students with access to local leaders in government and business, key internship opportunities, close ties to community partners, and, most important, direct relationships with faculty and scholars at our partner universities. Moreover, Dickinson faculty are intimately involved in all aspects of study abroad, from academic advising to directing and/or teaching at our global centers.
This approach allows the College to guarantee the quality of the abroad experience and ensure that it integrates with the academic program at home. It is an approach that has made Dickinson one of the most respected colleges in the world in the development of study abroad programs, as our numerous awards for excellence in this area attest.
Dickinson offers its students both long- and short-term programs abroad; the vast majority choose to participate in longer programs offered at the College's global centers.
Long-term Programs Abroad:
Long-term programs run for a semester or academic year, and they fall into three categories--Dickinson Programs, Partner Programs, and Non-Dickinson Programs.
Dickinson Programs
Roughly seventy percent of Dickinson students who study abroad participate in Dickinson Programs. More than forty percent of the Dickinson faculty have led or taught on a Dickinson Program. Typically, Dickinson faculty teach one or two courses on Dickinson Programs, with remainder of the courses taught by faculty at our partner institutions. Where Dickinson Programs are led by in-country directors appointed by the College rather than by our faculty (e.g., in Cameroon), the in-country directors make regular visits to campus so that students get to know the directors, their work, and the opportunities that exist at the centers they lead.
There is a Dickinson faculty coordinator on campus for every Dickinson Program. The faculty coordinator works closely with students, offering them individual guidance on course selection at the Dickinson Program. Faculty from our partner institutions also regularly teach and lecture on visiting stays at Dickinson, increasing students' familiarity with what is available at the Dickinson Programs. It is not just the presence of Dickinson faculty at a global center that makes a program a Dickinson Program; it's the closeness of the overall academic relationship, in all its many dimensions, between Dickinson and its partners.
Partner Programs
While the College has invested significant resources in developing its own programs, it is not possible for an institution of Dickinson's size to operate and maintain programs that meet the needs of every student. So, the College has developed a select number of strategic partnerships with some of the oldest and most respected study abroad provider organizations (e.g., DIS and CIEE) and designated these opportunities as "Partner Programs."
All Partner Programs are carefully vetted. New Partner Programs are proposed when a curricular need in our current offerings is identified. Typically, a team of faculty scrutinizes the programmatic structure and academic quality of a prospective Partner Program by conducting one or more site visits. Site visit reports are submitted to the Global Engagement Advisory Committee (GEAC), a sub-committee of all-college Academic Programs and Standards Committee. With GEAC approval, new Partner Program proposals are then reviewed by APSC and, pending support, are required to receive approval by vote of the full faculty. Institutional aid and cost of participation for Partner programs works the same as for Dickinson Programs.
Non-Dickinson Programs
Non-Dickinson Programs are available to the relatively few Dickinson students who find that their academic goals cannot be achieved on a Dickinson or Partner Program. Approximately ten percent of Dickinson's education abroad participants pursue and are approved to participate in Non-Dickinson Program options. Students must schedule an advising appointment at the Center for Global Study and Engagement before applying to any Non-Dickinson semester program (Non-Dickinson summer programs do not need CGSE approval). After an advising appointment, students must apply to the GEAC for approval and make a compelling academic case for the program being proposed. Although institutional aid may not be used toward the cost of a Non-Dickinson Program, students may take their federal and state assistance with them. Credit earned on approved Non-Dickinson Programs is treated as transfer credit on the Dickinson transcript.
Short-term Programs Abroad:
Although Dickinson continues to emphasize long-term (semester and year) education abroad, the College also offers short-term programs each year. These fall into two categories: Summer Programs and Globally-Integrated Courses/Mosaics.
Summer Programs
Summer Programs are free-standing, self-contained, one-credit courses taught abroad at one of our global sites by a Dickinson faculty member. Summer Programs typically run for four to six weeks.
Globally Integrated Courses/Mosaics
In some ways, Globally-integrated Courses and Mosaics are not Short-term Programs at all; they are listed here because they entail briefer stints abroad (usually less than four weeks' time), combined with a semester-long, credit-bearing course offered on campus. Students must complete both the international and on-campus portions of the course to receive credit. These programs prepare students to make the most of their shorter stays abroad by connecting them meaningfully with a course devoted to a thorough investigation of a global topic.

Redshirt freshman Brett Lang (Charlotte, N.C. / Ardrey Kell HS) drove in three runs, including the game-winning run in the eighth in sleet, snow and rain as the Charlotte 49ers won the Sunday series finale and took the Atlantic 10 Conference opening-weekend series 6-4 at Pitt Field over the Richmond Spiders. Charlotte leaves town winning two of three in the series, posting a 16-7 record, 2-1 to start A-10 play. Richmond, which entered with an identical record to Charlotte, drops to 15-8, 1-2 in league play.
Lang's bases-loaded hit was his second this season, a grounder through the left side of the infield to score two runs in the fourth, and he added an RBI single up the middle in the eighth for the lead.
After Lang gave Charlotte the lead in the fourth with the first two runs, Richmond got its first run in the bottom half on a single, a walk, a groundout and a wild pitch to cut the lead in half at 2-1.
The 49ers extended the lead back out to two runs with an RBI bunt single by third baseman Shane Basen (Waxhaw, N.C. / Marvin Ridge HS) to score shortstop Justin Roland (Salisbury, N.C. / East Rowan HS) from third with one out in the fifth.
Richmond grabbed its first lead with three runs on three hits and two Niners errors in the sixth. First baseman Jacob Mayers drove in two runs in the inning before a third run scored on the second miscue of the frame and Richmond ended the frame leading 4-3.
The Niners tied the game on a successful squeeze bunt from local product and senior center fielder Michael Green (Richmond, Va. / Thomas Dale HS), scoring Roland for the second time in the game. Roland had struck out, but reached on a wild pitch and moved up two more bases on two more wild pitches to get into position for the Green bunt.
A hit batter turned into a runner in scoring position in the eighth for Lang, who collected his second hit of the contest for the lead. The 49ers added an insurance run in the ninth after Grant Dunnegan (Clearwater, Kan. / Hutchinson CC) doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly from Basen for the game's final score.
Charlotte reliever Ryan Mas (Matthews, N.C. / Butler HS) got the win in relief (2-1). He threw two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, striking out a batter.
Freshman Micah Wells (Pfafftown, N.C. / Mt. Tabor HS) finished the last two innings for Charlotte to collect his first collegiate save. He allowed one walk and one hit, also recording a strikeout.
The loss went to Richmond reliever Ray Harron (1-1). Harron was charged with an unearned run in the eighth after a fielding error in the frame.
Charlotte's Lang and Green as well as Richmond's Mayers all finished with the game-high two hits. Roland and Richmond's Tanner Stanley scored two runs each for the game-high total.
Neither start factored in the decision. Charlotte starter Brock Hudgens (Jamestown, N.C. / Southwest Guilford HS) threw five innings, allowing four hits and a walk, with five strikeouts. Two of the four runs charged to him were earned in the afternoon. Richmond's Peter Bayer tossed six innings, giving up six hits and two walks. He was tagged for three earned runs and struck out six.
The 49ers finish the road trip with a Tuesday afternoon contest at Presbyterian, beginning at 3 p.m.
NOTES: Charlotte is 13-0 when leading after eight innings this season… The 49ers improved to 11-0 when scoring six or more runs this season… Charlotte is 15-6 all-time against Richmond, 7-2 at Pitt Field… Lang is tied for the team lead with six multiple-RBI contests this season… Roland has reached base in a team-high 14 games.

Is there any difference between "bailar" and "danzar"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The meaning is the same but probably what changes is how it is applied. for example:
We (spanish speakers) usually use "danza" as the art, something with more structure and even more formal.
While "baile" is way more informal and it is the one we use as a verb. We usually don't say:
At least here in Mexico
At least in most parts of LAT DANZAR(verb) is only for artistics purposes, for instace, people practicing classic dance, meanwhile the verb BAILAR is used for casual dance, I mean whatever rhythm people are dacing(salsa, merengue, tango, etc) perhaps a little different than english where you mostly use TO DANCE for everything related with this. If you are inviting a woman to dance in a party you better say: ¿QUIERES BAILAR?

I have turned on "automatic backups" using Déjà Dup:
How often will Déjà Dup make a backup now? Is it once a day? The help documentation doesn't say.
Silly, me, I missed this option under the "Schedule" tab:
You can set it to either daily or weekly.
If those two options are not what you want, you can set it to a specific number of days by modifying a Dconf setting. For example, to modify it to two weeks, run:
You can also edit this setting with dconf-editor, the setting is found in the tree path

A "Grand Night for Holiday Fashion" held Nov. 17 at the Center of Music and Art in Wintersville raised more than $7,000 and was hailed successful as the second-annual fashion show, silent auction and such looked to generate funds to continue the work of the Grand Theater Restoration Project.
There were a number of men, women and children modeling some beautiful fashions from Macy's, including yours truly, with Carrie Porter, Macy's sales manager, getting everyone lined up and ready to show off some great looks. She and the always-styling Francesca Carinci, an event committee member, introduced everyone to the audience and gave a little description of the outfits.
But even before that, a crew of four makeup artists wielded their magic with Elizabeth Arden products to make us all look our best. For me, this was the first time I've ever had my makeup done, so to speak, and I went to the event early, "naked faced" as ordered. As I left the house feeling weird because of that, my son commented in his innocent yet sincere kind of way, "Mom, you look like you always do."

He meant that as a reassurance, but I had to laugh.
It was another good-time event I was happy to be a part of, and it was fun to see what everyone was wearing. I can't remember all the outfits but some stuck with me. Among the local models were Billy and Nikki Petrella; Gloria Popp always in black; Patricia Fletcher in this really great chartreuse coat; Deena Riley in cobalt blue; Steubenville Mayor Domenick Mucci; Steubenville City Manager Cathy Davison and her son John; Jennifer Cesta; first-time model Susan Adams; Judge David Scarpone and his daughter Zoe; Kathy Musso; Ame Taggart; Natalie Herbick, WTOV 9 anchor; Michelle Miller; Melanie Van Nuys; Robbie Martin; sisters Olivia, Victoria and Cecilla Shepherd; Kris and Christina Haught and children Xander and Brady; Edie Boyde; and Kay Sedgmer and her daughter Elisabeth Bittinger with children Hunter, Hayden and Hensley.
I think that's everybody.
The restoration project got two shots in the arm, one a $1,000 check from the Upper Ohio Valley Opera Guild, presented by Barb Wilinski, its treasurer, and the other a $1,000 check from WTOV 9, presented by Herbick.
The event was sponsored by Macy's, the Center of Music and Art, the Herald-Star, Team Automotive Group, WTOV 9, the Women's Club of Steubenville, Nelson Fine Arts & Crafts, Two Brothers Dry Cleaners and Froehlich's Classic Corner.
"This event will be helping us reach our match requirement for the Ohio Clean Funds Grant to complete the cleanout of the Grand. Funds will also be used to pay our engineering firm," said Scott Dressel, president of the board of directors of the Grand Theater Restoration Project, in a preview story about this event.
In addition to Dressel, the event committee, included Carinci, Jan Glaub Rainbolt, Mark Nelson, Greg Froehlich, Tim McCoy, Ed Stanislaw, Beth Wood, Tony Corella and Donna Keagler along with assistance from board and event sponsors.
Next up you can check out what restoration work has been done at the Grand and be part of a photo contest. Check out the details of this on the story on today's page 1A.

GUE, GOE, hermitian/symmetric wigner matrices, ... already known with some mild assumptions. but is there any this kind of results without independent entries condition. thanks a lot.
Another example is the adjacency matrix of a random regular graph. Here the entries are $0,1$ but the row sums and column sums must all be equal. For some properties of this matrix, see http://arxiv.org/pdf/1011.6646.pdf
Of course there is:
For example: this paper by Lubinsky describes universality for a special class of tridiginal matrices. For example the condition off-diagonals $\equiv 1$ and entries on the diagonal are in $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$ would suffice. So the matrices are $$ H_N = \begin{pmatrix} b_1 & 1 & \\\ 1 & b_2 & 1 & \\\ & 1 & b_3 &1 & \\\ & & \ddots & \ddots & \ddots \\\ & & & 1 & b_N \end{pmatrix} $$ with $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} |b_n| < \infty$.
This can be further generalized see: Avila--Last--Simon. Of course all these results are for special tridiagonal matrices (Jacobi operators).
Last, there is also the work by Deift et al. See the book.
the classic example is Dyson's circular ensemble of random unitary matrices (distributed uniformly with respect to the Haar measure); in the limit of large matrix size the correlation function of the eigenvalues tends to a universal limit.
There are results on symmetric Gaussian matrices where the entries are dependent but the depedencies become weaker and weaker as the size of the matrix grows.
See e.g. http://arxiv.org/pdf/0707.2333.pdf and the references therein.

In Barren County, a young boy was attacked by a German Shepherd in front of his sister's daycare.
Seven-year-old Jonathan Greer is one of the liveliest little boys you'll ever meet, but after more than 80 stitches, that personality has been put to the test.
Jonathan was outside a home daycare in Barren County. He and his mom were there to pick up his little sister. In a flash the unthinkable happened. A full-grown German Shepherd lunged at him and mauled his face.
Katrina Lowe, Jonathan's mom, says Jonathan was petting the dog, the dog was wagging its tail, and all of a sudden, he attacked Jonathan. She says even the dog's owner and daycare provider couldn't believe the dog attacked.
Now, Jonathan's family wonders what will happen to the daycare and to the dog. When a stray dog bites someone, it's usually taken to the Barren County Animal Shelter for observation and quarantine, but since this dog was not a stray, quarantine and observation are left up to the owner.
The Health Department says it has spoken to the dog's owner, and the animal is current on all his vaccinations. But this mother says more action should be taken.
In spite of it all, Jonathan still loves animals.
Jonathan's mom says the daycare owner is a good person, and they really liked her daycare; they just can't take a chance like this again.
The daycare owner declined an on-camera interview, but told us over the phone that this was an unfortunate accident.
Jonathan's mother says the daycare owner has called her to express concern over the child's condition.

The 10 Most Innovative Bathrooms From Around the World
The bathroom is probably the least social room in the house for most of us who don't enjoy a strict diet of Eastern European porn. Sure we all use it but we rarely discuss it and no one wants to hang out there.
But that doesn't change the fact it may be the most important room in your house and, as with everything else in this age of technological marvels, advances are being made. Kickass advances.
Such as ...
#10. The Indipod Car Toilet
Nothing screws up a road trip more than having to use a highway rest stop. Notorious for housing armies of disease-causing bacteria and, in some cases, serial killers, the rest stop is not your friend and no rest will be had. The Indipod was invented to let you drive right past it down the highway while pissing in your own vehicle, the way God intended.
Basically a tent that you just set up in the back seat with a really advanced-looking bucket inside, the Indipod is the evolution of the Big Gulp cup dad made you piss in on those long road trips back in the day.
For added kicks, you can keep driving while a passenger uses it, presumably getting causing unpleasant splashback at every turn and bump in the road.
#9. The Intelligence Toilet
Japan, land of innovations you never knew you needed because you don't need them, once again wows the world with the Intelligence Toilet, which makes our standard western toilets look like the stupid family dog, hungry for feces but offering nothing in return beyond blank stares.
The Intelligence Toilet can measure the sugar levels in your urine, test your blood pressure, your body fat and weight, and then give you recommendations for diet and exercise. It's basically a genie you shit on.
#8. The Pet Potty Doggy Toilet
There's no reason dogs should be left out of the bathroom revolution, considering their toilet has not seen an advance since "the ground" became popular several million years ago. Now, thanks to the Pet Potty, dog owners don't need to really walk their dogs at all any more. We'll allow the official video to demonstrate:
Yes, at the 1:19 mark, you just saw a full, uninterrupted 15-second shot of an actual dog shitting on their product, before the turd got sprayed away with a shower head and then mulched by a trash compactor or some such.
This indoor toilet for dogs gets installed right into your plumbing, which the website assures us is easy without actually explaining the process, and is such a time saver. Of course you still have to manually hose off the poop each time, unless you can somehow teach your dog to do that.
#7. Uni-P Public Urinal
The inequality of the sexes is never more evident than when it comes to the public restroom. The reason there's always a line outside the ladies' loo is because there are fewer places to go (since stalls take up more room than urinals, there are fewer in an average restroom). Thus men have long held urinals over women's head, probably more figuratively than literally.
But now, at long last, women get all of the advantages of the urinal. How, you may ask? Well, the above picture ought to clear it right up for you as well as demonstrating how this device would be in no way degrading or embarrassing for women.
#6. The Homophobic Robo-Toilet
Apparently life in Ft. Lauderdale has been brought to a standstill due to rampant homosexual bathroom antics. Not according to the police or anyone sane, just according to the mayor, who's convinced no one can set foot in a public restroom without having to wait behind a gay conga line to use the facilities.
Luckily, the mayor has proposed spending a quarter of a million bucks on a public toilet that's self-locking, self cleaning and, a feature that's sure to not cause any potential lawsuits, it sets off a siren and opens the door if it thinks you've been in there too long.
Yes, what better way to discourage public bathroom sex than by exposing it to a passing crowd of Boy Scouts.

In reading about "griefing" and "smurfing", the term "ganking" came up...is there a good definition for it?
Ganking is when a big group of players team up on one lone player, usually by surprise. Level differential is not necessary to be called ganking. In many games (mostly MMOs), this is a form of griefing, but in other games it is a legitimate and encouraged strategy.
For example, in DotA, ganking is an integral part to team victory. One player may roam around the map helping to ambush and team up on enemies who get caught out of position.
Ganking is when a group of player join together to take on a single player. The term probably formed from the words "gang" and "yanking" (the sudden application of large force).
While this strategy can be employed for griefing it is also often applied for "honorable" gameplay.
By combining forces the gang is able to:
Going back over 10 years, it has always just meant one or more players ambushing and defeating another player. "You got ganked!" Kind of like, "you got knocked the ** out!".. Really no special strategy or classification involved.
There's a lot of bad definitions for gank out there (and in here).
Gank, according to wiktionary is:
In other words, to attack in a way in which the defender has no chance and rapidly loses, to pick an unfair fight.
And their examples are great:
If ganking required a group, then why mention the group? One person may gank another.
If ganking was repeated killing, why mention that? You may be ganked once or many times.
If ganking was camping a corpse, why mention it? Ganking may or may not involve corpses.
In WoW, ganking is usually one high level character killing one lower level character. This usually occurs in 0-3 seconds - any longer and there is the possibility of escape for the victim. You also see ganking in lower level battlegrounds, where a twinked character can gank a non-twinked character in one or two global cooldowns.
In Eve Online, you have gank squads (they go around killing smaller squads), and you have suicide gankers (they kill you, and then die quickly to the npc system security - but then their alt/buddy comes by and loots you).
In EVE: Online, ganking does not necessarily mean the attackers have superior numbers, just that they have an obvious advantage. The most common example is suicide ganking, where one or more players attacks one player, usually a freighter or industrial, in high sec with expectation of being killed by CONCORD shortly afterward. Being in high sec space the victim is unprepared for battle as they are relying on CONCORD to dissuade any would-be attackers.
Ganking is when a big group of high-level players attack a low-level player who has no chance of defending himself. This is considered a form of griefing.
When, in my practice(in WoW) ganking is just series of killing the same player(s). I mean, no matter, how much players attack or what is level difference, but if one player(players) was able to kill another player(s) several times in a row (for any reason, ex: level difference, gear difference, lack of gaming skill, mad skillz or attackers just exceed in quantity, as mentioned above), thats exactly what we name ganking. Just that simple.
Basically is when you got a surprise attack from two or more enemies, usually a large group of enemies, where you have almost no chance in survive. and they don't spend too much resources on you either. Being an "easy kill".
NOTE: A group can be "ganked" by a larger group (e.g 2 versus 5).

I am using bzip2 to compress a file,the process takes more that 100% cpu.Is there any way to run bzip2 with minimum CPU precentage.
migrated from serverfault.com Mar 14 '13 at 16:22
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Is this process interfering with other processes on your system? Why do you want to limit the CPU bzip2 uses?
You can use the
Additionally, you can try lowering the
Recommended: using priorities
In addition to @EEAA answer, if you want to give the maximum of low priority to the bzip process, so that when other processes are impacted a minimum, you should use
To verify which IO scheduler you are using:
Now using
As Tom and EEAA explained, this is good enough. The kernel will make sure that bzip can run as fast as possible when no other process needs CPU or IO. But it will give the priority to other processes if they need it. This is the recommended choice.
Alternative: cpulimit - limits the CPU usage in pourcentage
Now you can still use a "CPU limitation" on bzip. That would not be my choice, but if you want to experiment or like it better, you should use
