This Little Known Black History Fact topic was submitted by John Plummer, our dedicated listener of the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
In October 1969, 14 black football players were dismissed from the University of Wyoming team for protesting the Mormon religion's standing on ordaining Black priests. The young players were set to play against Brigham Young University, (which was a Mormon school), but were instead called into the office of Coach Lloyd Eaton and kicked off the team.
It was the late 1960's and the policy of the Jesus Christ Church of Latter-day Saints' was to exclude black men from being hired into priesthood. This was also during the Civil Rights Movement. The players wore black wristbands in protest, against their coaches' wishes. Some of the players suggested the coach made racist remarks about life after University of Wyoming football, saying they would return to living on food stamps and welfare.
The case would go to the U.S. District Court and was dismissed.
Before the incident, the team was at a record of 4-0 with a promising chance of the upcoming Sugar Bowl. With 14 players eliminated from the team's roster, their record suffered, and the season went to 2-4. The Cowboys wouldn't have a chance at the Sugar Bowl again until 1987.
Most of the Black 14 players were never re-admitted to the Cowboy's team. Their expulsion cost several hopes of professional football. Two of the players, Joe Williams and Tony McGee, made it to the NFL.
The year following the Black 14 incident, Brigham Young University admitted one African American player to their team. It wasn't until 1987 that the Mormon church changed their policy of ordaining black priests into the religion.
Author Ryan Thorburn told the story of the 1969 incident in his book, "Black 14: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of Wyoming Football."

Earth's magnetic field is internally generated by the rotation
of the iron-rich core. For reasons that are not fully understood,
the position of the magnetic pole with relation to the surface of
the Earth is constantly changing. Furthermore, at intervals through
Earth history, the polarity of the magnetic field "flips"
such that a compass needle that now points north would point south
instead. These changes in the polarity of the magnetic field are
called "magnetic reversals," and there have been 171
of them in the last 76 million years. The current polarity of the
magnetic field (in which a compass needle points north) is called
"normal" and the alternate state is called "reversed."
The study of how Earth's magnetic field has changed through
geologic time is called paleomagnetics.
When the magma from which igneous rocks
form is still molten, iron-rich minerals can orient themselves in
line with the local magnetic field in the same way that a compass
needle does. As the magma cools, the tiny iron-rich crystals are
"frozen" in position, recording the orientation of the
local magnetic field at that time. Iron minerals in sediments can
also align themselves with the magnetic field, then become fixed
as the sediment turns to rock. The orientation of the magnetic crystals
in rocks can be used to infer two pieces of information—the
direction of the magnetic pole from the point where the rock formed,
and the polarity (reversed or normal) of the magnetic field at the
time the rock formed.
The orientation of the magnetic crystals in a rock can tell us the
latitude at which the rock formed because the magnetic field is
oriented almost parallel to the surface of the Earth near the equator,
and almost perpendicular to it at the poles. By determining the
positions of many rocks with respect to the magnetic pole, paleomagnetists
can calculate the past positions of the continents. From that, they
can deduce the directions in which continents have moved over millions
of years. Adding in the age of the rocks, they can also calculate
the speed at which continental plates have moved.
The polarity of the magnetic crystals in a rock also tells us if
it was formed during a period with a reversed or normal magnetic
field. By measuring the magnetic polarity of a succession of rocks,
scientists can determine a sequence of polarity intervals of varying
durations. Sometimes this sequence of polarity intervals can be
distinctive—for example, a long interval of reversed polarity
might be followed by a series of five quick alternations between
normal and reversed, then another long interval of reversed polarity.
Such local sequences can be compared with a globally compiled record
of magnetic reversals, at least for the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic.
Some magnetic reversal events have been dated radiometrically, so
if the local sequence can be matched to the global record of magnetic
reversals, the age of the local rocks can be determined.

We have to prove $b|a$ and $b|c \Rightarrow b|ka+lc$ for all $k,l \in \mathbb{Z}$.
I thought it would be enough to say that $b$ can be expressed both as $b=ka$ and $b=lc$. Now we can reason that since $ka+lc=2b$ and $b|2b$, it directly follows that $b|ka+lc$?
But I'm not sure if that works for any value of $k$ and $l$ (namely $k$ and $l$ are defined through quotient between $a$ and $c$, respectively).
What am I missing?

GENESEO, N.Y. - The State University of New York at Geneseo is among 41 "Best Buy Schools" named in the 2013 edition of "The Fiske Guide to Colleges." Inclusion on the list in the highly respected publication is based on the quality of academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance.
This year, the publication names 41 institutions - 20 public and 21 private - as "Best Buys," categorized as inexpensive or moderately priced with a four- or five-star academic rating.
The guide is authored by former New York Times education editor Edward Fiske, who launched the guide in 1980 when he sensed that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. Not only does the guide have an "Index by Price" that groups public and private institutions into four price categories, from inexpensive to very expensive, but also suggests a number of schools that offer outstanding academics with relatively moderate prices.
The guide accepts no consulting, advertising or other fees from colleges and has no outside relationship with colleges working on its behalf. The goal of the publication is to help future students select the best colleges to reach their own goals in a price range that is manageable for their personal circumstances.

I started what I thought was a standard upgrade, using the normal gui stuff. Part way through, it apparently put up a dialog asking if I wanted to keep the old apparmor config file or not. I was not at the console. The the screensave apparently kicked in. Then it appeard totally dead.
I tried several things, but it appears that the combination broke the upgrade.
On a second machine I was also doing the upgrade. On it, I just killed gnome-screensaver AND NOTHING ELSE. The got in with vnc (actual screen/kb unresponsive) and it appears to be going. Maybe to completion.
On the first machine, I think I had queued up an Alt-F1 before getting screensaver killed, and I could not get the gui back. So I eventually rebooted.
How can I resume the upgrade, repair the installation do something so I don't have to reformat all the partitions and start over?
That would be suboptimal.

I would like to teach myself measure theory. Unfortunately most of the books that I've come across are very difficult and are quick to get into Lemmas and proofs. Can someone please recommend a layman's guide to measure theory? Something that reads a bit like this blog post, starts out very gently and places much emphasis on the intuition behind the subject and the many lemmas.
Measures, Integrals and Martingales by René L. Schilling is a very gentle (mathematically rigorous, but that should be the case if you want to learn measure theory) introduction to measure theory. All the solutions to the exercises are available on the website of the author. Another advantage is that it is quite inexpensive.
However, I'd also suggest Measure and Integration Theory by Heinz Bauer. This is one of the best introductions to this subject I have ever seen (and my professor and some others seem to agree). One drawback is that it has a few typos but that keeps you sharp ;-). It is a translation of the author's original book in German where only the relevant topics are kept.
Here (TU Delft) they first used the first book which I mentioned and this year they use Bauer.
Both books are an excellent basis if you want to go in the direction of analysis or probability theory. Both fields require at least what is in these books.
A companion to Bauer's measure theory book if your goal is to learn probability theory is his probability theory book.
Another thing I would like to note is that you should have a reasonable knowledge of the foundations of real analysis before you embark on this. Measure theory is a "true" analytic topic and should not be treated like many calculus courses.
I would recommend "Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean space" by Frank Jones. The analysis texts by Stein and Shakarchi are also very accessible.
One of the very best books on analysis, which also contains so much more then just measure and integration theory,is also available very cheap from Dover Books: General Theory Of Functions And Integration by Angus Taylor. You can probably get a used copy for 2 bucks or less and it contains everything you ever wanted to know about not only measure and integration theory, but point set topology on Euclidean spaces. It also has some of the best exercises I've ever seen and all come with fantastic hints. This is my favorite book on analysis and I think you'll find it immensely helpful for not only integration theory, but a whole lot more.
My favourite book on measure theory is Cohn's. It has a manageable size and yet, it covers all the basics.
I suggest A Concise Introduction to the Theory of Integration by Daniel W. Stroock, which I found both a pleasure to read and straight to the point.
Edit: I was almost forgetting that it includes interesting exercises with hints/solutions, so it's good for self study.
I very much enjoyed these lecture notes.
It's written in a style that is suitable for self-study.
I found Robert Bartle's book: Elements of Integration and Lebesgue Measure to be very helpful.
This book, Problems in Mathematical Analysis III, has plenty of exercises (with solutions!) on The Lebesgue Integration.
I really like Foundations of Modern Analysis by Avner Friedman. Excellent text on the essentials plus it is a "worker's book on analysis" in the sense that it shows you how many of the tools you learn in a measure theory course are actually used to tackle problems in PDE, functional analysis, etc. Plus it is cheap ($12).
My other recommendation is a second nod to Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean Spaces by Frank Jones. Very accessible but astronomically expensive. Perhaps you can get a copy from the library (or interlibrary loan).
Thinking back very far, to when I was a student learning measure theory, I really liked "Introduction to measure and probability" by Kingman and Taylor. The measure theory part was also published as a separate book, "Introduction to measure and integration" by (only) Taylor.

Preventing Chimney Fires
In This Article:
Tool Chest
A flue is the void or passageway through which the products of combustion are removed from the fire to the outside. A flue pipe is a pipe used to connect a fire or appliance to a chimney. A flue liner is the material used to form the flue in the chimney. They can be made of fire clay, refractory quality concrete, or metal. Some older chimneys may not have liners.
If you're not that familiar with fireplaces or woodstoves, some of the terminology used to discuss them might be unfamiliar to you. So, let's start with a quick anatomy lesson. While the following terms primarily apply to fireplaces, woodstoves are pretty similar in design. If you have one, you can follow along, too.
Chimneys are the physical structures that allow fire by-products to escape outside. They're usually made of brick or stone. The following is inside a chimney:
Flue. This is the actual tube that smoke travels up through.
Flue liner. This is the material that the flue is made out of. It's usually constructed of fire clay, refractory quality concrete, or metal. Some older chimneys may not have liners. Older unlined masonry chimneys may be used for gas appliances, but they should not be used for wood-burning appliances. The flue gases are corrosive to mortar and can weaken the chimney. Unlined chimneys should be relined before using them with woodstoves or fireplaces.
Flue pipe. This is the pipe that connects a fire or appliance to a chimney.
Smoke chamber. The area where the flue starts. It sits right above the damper.
Damper assembly. Located between the smoke chamber and the firebox, these are adjustable louvers that open and shut to control airflow.
Firebox. Where the fire burns. Consists of firebrick, outer hearth, inner hearth, and sometimes an ash dump door.
Woodstoves have stovepipes instead of flue pipes. They also have more vents for controlling airflow and temperature.
Now that you know how a chimney is put together, let's take a closer look at how they work, and why they sometimes don't work as well as they should.

In the times of the Beis HaMikdash when the Machatzis HaShekel was given was a bracha recited?

The Rashba (Shu"t Siman 18) and the Shu"t that are attributed to the Ramban (Siman 189) explain the reason why we do not make a brocha on mitzvos such as Matnas Kehuna and Machatzis Hashekel: Whatever he is giving is not really his, rather Hashem gives it to the Cohen, as it says in Divrei Hayamim (1 29:14), "For all is from You, and from Your hand we have given it to You". (This is in contrast to mitzvos like Trumas, Maasros, Hafrashas Challa and Pidyon Haben were he can make a brocha on the separation, whereas here he would be making a brocha on the giving).
Kovaitz Bais Aharon V'Yisroel 105 page 95 mentions in the name of the Teshuvas HaRashba 18 that a Bracha was not said on the Mitzva of Machtzis HaShekel. However further in Kovaitz Bais Aharon V'Yisroel 105 page 96 it mentions a Yerushalmi Meshectas Shekalim Perek 3 end of Halacha 2 which indicates that a Bracha was said on the Mitzva of Machtzis HaShekel.

Despite significant improvements in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, the optimal management of this malignancy remains undefined. Currently, both radiation therapy (RT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) are used as primary treatment for certain groups of patients. However, it has been a long debate which treatment is superior. Since the introduction of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to both stage and monitor patients after treatment, serious concerns have been raised as to the validity of data derived prior to the PSA era. In this study, the researchers reviewed the outcome of patients with localized prostate carcinoma who had a serum PSA value no higher than 10ng/ml and a Gleason score no higher than 6.
With a median follow-up period of 5.5 years:
In this study, radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy were fund to be equally effective in treating patients with low-risk prostate cancer. Due to the long natural history of prostate carcinoma and the potentially significant comorbidities in this patient population, longer follow-up is needed to analyze survival differences.

My math skills are rusty(at best) and I was wondering if I could pick people's here brains on trying to figure out how to approach what I'm doing. My problem is a bit domain specific so I found a proxy problem that matches perfectly and hopefully is simpler to explain(just excuse any inaccuraties related to investing).
Say you have all the prices of all the stocks in the stock market, the percent change and your trying to research a specific return target(in percent). I then try to see how much percent of each stock returns equal the target percent. It works okay because each item is bound by 100(%) but because its alot of data I'm trying to see if there's a way to do it based on a value and not percent(say no stock can equal more than 50% of my basket of stocks then I cut processing down by half). I'm not sure how to convert the percent to value and get the same results.
Here's a example: stock market contains stocks with these returns: 10%,15%,30%, dollar values of 10,5,2(respectively), and we want to find all the ways to get 1% return.
10 * .10 = 1
10 * .07 + 15 * .02 = 1
10 * .04 + 15 * .04 = 1
10 * .01 + 15 * .06 = 1
10 * .07 + 30 * .01 = 1
10 * .04 + 15 * .02 + 30 * .01 = 1
10 * .01 + 15 * .04 + 30 * .01 = 1
10 * .04 + 30 * .02 = 1
10 * .01 + 15 * .02 + 30 * .02 = 1
10 * .01 + 30 * .03 = 1
This is a bad example because the highest percent of the value is .10 but it can go up to 100%. We would then take the percent of the returns(second column) and multiple it against the value of the stocks and figure out the weight of each stock in our basket. In our actual problem it seems to give the results we want but processing time is crazy when maybe we want no stock to exceed 10% but we have no way of knowing how much 10% of our basket will be without converting the above method into an actual basket.
Here's how the conversation part works(sorry copying from excel, might look ugly).
percent weight value weight weight overall
a 10.00% 1 100.00%
total 1 100.00%
percent weight value weight weight overall
a 1.00% 0.1 41.67%
b 2.00% 0.1 41.67%
c 2.00% 0.04 16.67%
total 0.24 100.00%
Just to recap, steps are:
- figure out how much percent of returns are needed to meet target percent
- convert percent of percent returns to actual values by multiplying against actual values
- using actual values figure out weight and discard ones that exceed our specific threshold
Is it possible to somehow normalize the initial return & target percent so I can derive the same result but from the value itself without having to go through the 100 possibles per item(100%) when we may really only care about a 20% threshold per value of item? Doing it the current way does not seem possible since what its saying its 'you need x% of this stocks return' and then we have to convert to see how much that equals to in a basket. As I mentioned above, we are checking AFTER which to me is a waste of cpu power, I want to see if we can know before hand and not pursue results that we don't need.
I hope I explained it correctly but if there's any confusion please let me know. Thanks!
p.s. for the last two days I've been in python/excel trying to figure this out, my idea was to take the percents and multiply them against a base value(say 100) and try to convert it to the value but I'm having trouble because the above calculation are derived from percents of returns and target. I haven't had any success. There's a few problems with converting, how can I get the same results if I do not know the total in advance(when converting, I'm multiplying my new generated percent against the values then weighting the sum to get the individual weights)?

I'm looking for a reference for the following fact: given two Riemann surfaces and an identification of their boundaries, once I topologically glue the surfaces together there exists a unique conformal structure on my new surface that is compatible with the conformal structures I started with.
See MR1966191 (2005e:30012) Hamilton, D. H.(1-MD) Conformal welding. Handbook of complex analysis: geometric function theory, Vol. 1, 137–146, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 2002. 30C35
and other papers by David Hamilton.
The gluing does not necessarily exist, neither it is unique when exists, in such generality as stated. (I am not even speaking of what the "boundary" of a Riemann surface could mean in general).
Even in the simplest case when two original surfaces are disks, the glueing does not have to exist for an arbitrary homeomorphism.
In addition to the articles of Hamilton suggested in the previous message, I recommend the web site of Christopher Bishop, and old papers by Alfred Huber (in German).
I recommend the article by Radnell and Schippers [1] for quasisymmetric conformal welding of arbitrary Riemann surfaces. That article doesn't do the hard analysis work, but refers to the book [2] (section III.1.4) for the classical conformal welding of disks.

Discussion Notes
Ryan's behavior
Mitch posted the following to noisebridge-discuss on Tuesday 2013-02-19:
Ryan was here tonight. He said he was at the meeting last week, but left early. I asked him why he came without discussing matters at the meeting first. He argued in a raised, excited voice. After some non-useful back-and-forth, I lost it. I told him he had to leave. After much ado, he left. Leif and others who will be at the meeting were present for this unfortunate occurrence.
It seems to me that Ryan doesn't belong at Noisebridge. He does do something with servers here, which may be some sort of hacking. He also sleeps here. And he lies when confronted with this. He's also agro about his sense of entitlement about being at Noisebridge. If others at he meeting think he belongs at Noisebridge, then I would find that unfortunate, but this is up to people at the meeting. And, unfortunately, I can't be there tomorrow night. Ryan said he would be at the meeting.

Despite the fact that Volvo was in the early 1960s a very successful international truck manufacturer, the number of medium-duty trucks produced annually by Volvo was far to small to enable the development of a first-class medium-duty truck alone. Since Volvo had the ambition to grow in this segment as well, the solution was to seek development partners among other relatively small European manufacturers in this segment.
The Club of Four
The result was the 'Club of Four' which was formed in the early 1970s and which had a design office in Paris, France. This 'club' was formed by Volvo, DAF, Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz ('Magirus') and Saviem (a French make which later merged with Berliet to form 'Renault Vehicules Industriels'). All these four manufacturers shared the ambition to develop a modern ergonomic high-quality medium-duty distribution truck.
The 'Club of Four' was a fairly successful joint project. Despite the fact that the trucks resulting from these various manufacturers looked very similar there were distinct differences between the Volvo trucks and the other trucks.
Unique, in terms of safety and engine
The 'Light-duty F' trucks (the most common nickname for the Volvo trucks of this family) was presented by Volvo in 1975, in a number of models for various transport tasks. It was clear that the Volvo 'Light-duty F' trucks were unique in some areas, particularly in terms of safety and the engine.
In the mid 70s, not all truck manufacturers were concerned with safety. For that reason, three out of the four manufacturers were not interested in strengthening the cabs for their trucks in order to withstand the severe Swedish cab crash-safety tests. For Volvo, of course, it was necessary to reinforce all 'Light-duty F' trucks (not only those intended for the Swedish market, but for all markets).
The different philosophy of Volvo
The result was, of course, that the 'Light-duty F' trucks from Volvo were markedly more safe than the other three manufacturers´ trucks, even in markets where there was direct competition between all four makes and where the Swedish safety regulations were not mandatory.
Also when it came to the engines, Volvo had a slightly different philosophy from the other truck manufacturers. Volvo, being a pioneer in the area of turbocharging, chose to offer turbocharged engines in all of the heavier 'Light-duty F' trucks (from 13 tonnes GVW), and in the early 1980s even the lightest types of this range received turbocharged engines, making Volvo the first truck manufacturer in the world to exclusively produce ONLY turbocharged trucks.
Introducing the new F range
When Volvo introduced this range in 1975, the heavier 'F6' model featured a direct-injection 6-litre Volvo engine, while the lightest version 'F4' featured a Perkins engine, which was replaced by the in-line-six TD40 engine (produced in Volvo's engine plant in Vara, Sweden) which thanks to its pre-combustion-chamber design and turbocharging featured clean emissions. The new 'F4' version of 1978 with the Volvo TD40 engine was easily identified by a diagonal bar in the grille, a design feature which has since become an integrated feature of all Volvo trucks.
The F4 and F6 trucks became very popular and greatly expanded the Volvo market-share in the medium-duty segment. The F6 played a major role in establishing Volvo trucks in the USA (the USA soon became the major market for the F6 trucks).
Working in an international environment
The F4/F6 trucks were important in establishing Volvo as an international producer of trucks, since the design process took place in an international environment. As previously mentioned, the design of the basic cab took place in Paris. The design of the Volvo F4/F6 trucks themselves took place in the Volvo Oostakker facility near Ghent, Belgium.
In Oostakker a completely new modern truck factory was erected for the production of the F4/F6 truck, a factory which later also started producing heavy-duty Volvo trucks. This factory is today the main European Volvo truck factory, and the second largest Volvo truck assembly plant in the world.

Although we know we can't target where weight comes off, if someone gained 20 pounds of fat and then lost 20 pounds of fat with no muscle gain or loss, would they look the same as before? Could it go on the stomach but be lost from the butt?

In my training I tend to have periods when I deload and just enjoy all kinds of food. That would typically happen during holidays when I give my body full rest for couple weeks. At these moments I gain enough fat to lose any track of my six pack(which happens to an extend because of muscle atrophy as well) and then after I get back on track I am quickly getting rid of all fat once again.
I have noticed and pointed out on many occasions that I tend to gain fat in a certain manner and lose it the same way. For example - I firstly put fat on the sides of my stomach, then on my abs, then on my arms. When I lose fat it starts from my arms, then my abs and lastly lose the fat from the sides and lower back.
I hope my answer helps you. :)

Updated to reflect a few more. 40 is looking less and less likely to happen for me. In at 38 but don't have much in progress. We'll see if I can do it.
How is everyone counting The Walking Dead? Is the entire season one game or is each episode a game? Tend to think the former, but don't know the official rule (if there is one).
I put it down as one game, much like the Sam and Max collections but others may have a different view on that.
Doubt I'll beat another game this year, too hooked to Borderlands 2 to dive into anything else and with Christmas shenanigans going on, little time to delve into a new adventure.

Finally got around to finishing the main story of Borderlands 2. OP updated.
Updated! I'm up to 18. Mighty Switch Force was a pain in the ass. :P
Original post updated with final numbers for 2012
1. When posting for the first time, just make a post including your initial list and a game count. We will update the OP with your name and count which will link to your list. For subsequent additions, click your link in the OP to return to your list and then add to the list and bump your count. We will reconcile the counts with the OP.
Also, replays in a given year do not count as multiple completed games. If you play through a game twice in 2012, it counts once. Don't do that.
In short, update your OP from the link list and then let us know.
Congrats to Ace Flibble, arglactable, and noobspoon for joining the Power Player ranks.
Sorry I've been a while in updating, but it is done. Carry on.
Added another for 40. Whew! Made it! May even get above that if I find enough time to work through the last two episodes of The Walking Dead and a couple of others that are getting towards the end. We'll see.

I would like to compare two arrays a=:

but this doesn't seem to work? Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Basically the conditional only updates b to be sum of a and b only when a non zero is detected in b or else it should do nothing, but can't work out why it is not summing. Or must I first flatten it?

Maybe it is my age (approaching 41), but my short term memory isn't as good as it was when I was younger. As such, I feel that my level of productivity is suffering. I am looking for ways to increase my memory stamina?
I know that I can make a note of things that I need to remember but they can be cumbersome at times. Of course, the really important stuff gets documented and filed away. But stuff such as trying to remember someone's name or his job is getting a bit difficult for me.
Any ideas?

The 6 Cruelest Science Experiments Ever (Were Done on Kids)
Sometimes science has to be ruthless. If curing cancer means dropping a dozen frightened children into the jungle for some reason, then by God that's what you do. And if you aren't curing cancer, but are just curious about what children look like when abandoned in a jungle, well, you still do it. Why? Because science.
Think we're joking? Hold on to your butts, because all of the following experiments really happened.
#6. Put Kids in the Wilderness, Make Them Go to War
In the summer of 1954, social psychologist Muzafer Sherif wanted to see if two groups stuck in the wild would learn to hate each other. What else was there to do but try it?
Thus kicked off his Robbers Cave experiment, in which a group of 11 ordinary, middle-class 11-year-old boys headed to summer camp at Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma, anxious for three fun-filled weeks of hiking, fishing and swimming. They were completely unaware that their parents had signed them up for Sherif's experiment, and that there was a second group of campers elsewhere on the site that they would be trained to hate.
The Situationist
"In retrospect, providing the camp chapel with a full-sized crucifix was tragically misguided."
For the first week, the groups were kept apart and encouraged to participate in separate team-building events and activities, in order to form relationships within each group. They established their own hierarchy and elected leaders, and gave their groups names -- the Eagles and the Rattlers, because it was the 1950s. Each group even designed flags to represent themselves. Then, once each group had formed a close-knit bond, the Eagles and the Rattlers conveniently "discovered" each other, and both sides approached the situation with about as much grace and understanding as David Duke running a three-legged race with Tyler Perry.
To see how much conflict they could instigate between the two groups, the experimenters arranged a tournament with events like baseball and tug-of-war, promising shiny trophies and pocket knives to the winners, because as we all know, the one prize you should always award a warring band of feral children is a knife. With a little creative prodding, what started with boos and insults quickly escalated into a full-out battle, ending with the Eagles burning the Rattlers' flag after being defeated at tug-of-war.
A nationalistic coup then wracked the Rattlers, leading to the establishment of a military junta.
As the tournament waged on, fistfights had to be constantly broken up, and any time the two groups had to eat together, the mess hall would erupt into Road House. Finally, the Eagles won the tournament and were given the coveted prizes, only to have the Rattlers ransack their cabin and steal the bejeezus out of them. Yep, Sherif and his team had successfully transformed 22 ordinary 11-year-old boys with no previous behavioral problems into a mob of aggressive savages.
It took less than three weeks.
Hey, did we mention that Robbers Cave was actually the third time Sherif had run the same experiment, and some sort of violence had inevitably exploded by the end of each trial? And that in one instance, the boys turned on Sherif and his team?
#5. Programming Kids for Violence, Then Turning Them Loose on a Clown
In the early '60s, a psychologist named Albert Bandura wanted to investigate whether children would imitate aggressive behavior without encouragement or active suggestion. So he took a Bobo Doll (the original version of those inflatable bop bags you probably had as a kid) and filmed a video of an adult punching, kicking and beating the doll with hammers, because if you're going to hit a clown with something, there's no point in fucking around. Then he showed the video to a group of 24 young children. A second group was given a nonviolent video, and a third control group was given no video at all.
All three groups were unleashed one at a time into a room with a Bobo Doll, some hammers and even some toy guns, though no guns were featured in either video. As seen in this clip, the kids who were shown the aggressive video wasted no time in showing Bobo exactly what they thought of his inflatable whimsy.
Skeptics maintain that the children displayed a perfectly natural reaction to the presence of a Juggalo.
The white kid in the beginning even seems to be creepily whispering things to the doll at gunpoint:
"I'll laugh when you bleed."
The children in the other two groups didn't demonstrate anywhere near as much aggression. However, Bandura's critics argued that you couldn't put children in a room with a toy that's essentially a punching bag and then claim to be proving anything when they hit it -- the Bobo Doll is designed to be smacked around, that's the whole point of its existence. So, Bandura gathered up more children from the infinite supply of them that these scientists seem to have access to and showed them a video of an adult punching, kicking and hammering a real live clown (this was presumably an old Super 8 film he found in his grandfather's attic, along with various antique torture equipment).
After watching the video, Bandura turned the kids loose into a room with ... a real live clown. Sure enough, the children happily assaulted the man with punches, kicks and hammer blows, proving not only that kids imitate aggression, but that they have the same grasp of consequences as a death row inmate with his shoelaces and utensils revoked. And that they won't pass up a chance to rough up a clown.
This would all fit rather nicely as a backstory for the Joker.
#4. The Broken Toy Experiment
Psychologists at the University of Iowa wanted to gain a better understanding of how preschoolers and toddlers experience guilt, because it's never too early to get started on that. So, they devised the broken toy experiment, which is exactly what it sounds like.
"Today you're going to learn that adults will do terrible things for $50 and extra credit."
The experiment was simple. An adult would show a toy to a young child. The adult would go on to explain that the toy was something very special, a sentimental item they'd had since they were very little. Then, asking the child to be very careful with it, the adult would hand over the toy. You know where this is going: The toy was rigged to "break spectacularly" as soon as the kid messed with it, presumably vaporizing in a two-inch fireball after a mild explosion.
The adult then simply said, "Oh, my," and would sit staring at the child for a full minute.
"Timmy, do you know what it means to be 'pro-choice?'"
Picture it, just sitting there in total silence, watching mutely as the children "squirmed, avoided the experimenter's gaze, hunched their shoulders, hugged themselves and covered their faces with their hands." This part of the experiment was presumably designed to teach the children the concept of time dilation -- that is, how their guilt made it the longest goddamn minute they had so far experienced in their short lives.
Interestingly, the kids who seemed most traumatized by the broken toy experiment went on to have the least behavioral problems over the next five years -- though whether this was due to the fact that they'd developed a healthy guilt response or that they'd learned early on that adults are fucking lunatics is impossible to determine.
"He still cries every time we pass a Toys R Us."

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive for $139.99 + free shipping

17 Comments add a comment
"$10 off on Data Recovery w/ code DART0001, ends 8/31"
So when it fails, you get a discount on paying to get (some of) your data back, but only if it fails before today???
@glabifrons: What the hell are you talking about?
I dunno... I think that for the cost per TB per years of warranty, I'll stick with the Caviar Black:
This drive: $46.66/year/TB
1TB Caviar Black: $22/year/TB
1.5TB Caviar Black: $21.33/year/TB
2TB Caviar Black: $18/year/TB
If the manufacturer doesn't think their drives will last more than a year, why would you?
(read the reviews, MANY DOA and early failures)
This is a solid drive. I had been needing more storage for my gaming/DVR machine and at $.05/gb ($150 when I bought it) this fit the bill.
There have been a lot of qualms about Seagate quality, and the monopoly and warranty reduction certainly doesn't help, but overall this seems to be a great drive. The sad, unfortunate truth is that some drives die in 1 week, some die in 2 months, some die a day before the warranty expires, and some die 5 years after the warranty expires. At the end of the day, all drives die.. buying a certain class or brand of drive is no guarantee of longevity. You must have your data backed up if you cannot afford to lose it.
This drive has been great so far. In two months time of continuous uptime, this drive has sustained over 600TB reads and writes combined. In this post-monopoliptic and post-flood world, this is probably the best cost/GB you will find. I'm very satisfied with this drive.
@tristicus: Follow the link, it's right there under the title on Newegg's webpage.
So you vote me down because you didn't read the site? Nice.
Edit: Pasted straight from newegg:
Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
$10 off on Data Recovery w/ code DART0001, ends 8/31
@chipmunkofdoom2: In my experience with Seagate drives, specifically their former top-of-the-line Barracuda line, >90% fail within days of their warranty running out. This is not a small sample either, as I've gone through many dozens of drives over the decades (yes, I've been using them since 1GB was a "HUGE" server drive and Barracudas were all SCSI).
FWIW: The Cheetahs seemed to last longer... go figure (10KRPM instead of 7.2KRPM, expected 'em to fail earlier).
I was lucky with a couple that failed <5 days before the warranty ran out and contacted Seagate immediately on them. When you catch it before it runs out, their warranty service is actually quite good.
@NegativeNancy: The Data Recovery service is additional insurance you can buy. It ranges from $30-$50 (before -$10 discount) for 1-3 years. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more info.
Nothing is fool proof and failures do happen. But I do find it funny people seem to have so much bad luck with hard drives. I've been building my own computers for nearly 15 years. I have also built countless computers for close friends. I have NEVER had a hard drive arrive DOA and only ONCE had a drive fail on me before the entire computer was getting junked/parted (A Western Digital Raptor). So you'll understand my suspicions when I read reviews that say "3 out of the 4 I ordered were DOA" and "Arrived DOA and the replacement lasted a week". I don't know what you people are doing to your hard drives.... maybe I'm just that darn lucky.
@firebirdude: I'd say you're damned lucky.
And as long as we're *-sizing, I've been building computers since the mid-'80s, everything from PCs to Sun servers. The only hard drives I've *consistently had problems with have been Seagates.
As far as the DOAs go, I've got a sneaking suspicion that is reflected by many of the postings I've seen on newegg's reviews for various drives, that their free shipping is to blame. Almost every time I've used their free shipping, I've received a drive wrapped in a single (popped) layer of bubble-wrap tossed into a (much larger) box with no other padding whatsoever. I'm amazed the drives work when I pull them out of this.
Combined with the fact that the free shipping is UPS, it's amazing any of the drives work (every package I've received via UPS looks like the Pet Detective carried it, totally mangled if not totally ripped apart).
Pay the extra for FedEx if you want your drive to arrive alive.
@glabifrons: I down voted you because your comment makes absolutely zero sense. You obviously fail at reading comprehension. They are offering $10 off of the data protection services if you order today. How is that hard to understand?
@tristicus: I guess I needed to add emoticons so you could tell it was a joke.
I find it a bit offensive that the company chose to offer and charge for a service like this after reducing their warranty period so dramatically. No-one who wants to keep their data should ever buy a drive with a 1 year warranty. That includes the cheaper WDs.
Imagine if auto-companies did that... you only got a 1 year/10k mile warranty instead of your 5/50k (for example), but if you paid them 1/4 of the price of your car, they'd pull your stuff out of your trunk if your car broke down so badly it couldn't be fixed.
@glabifrons: The warranty is through Newegg, not through Seagate. It's offered on every single hard drive Newegg sells.
@firebirdude: My apologies. My comments about the warranty reduction still stands though.
Edit: Correction: it's not through Newegg, it's through DriveSavers.
Are you implying that because they offer a warranty, the drive is bad? If so, what does that say about any (every really) product that offers a warranty? What about the fact that companies offer one because it's a nice source of revenue?
Did I miss any mention about failure rates or recalls?
@glabifrons: Who wizzed in your Cheerios ?
Building since the mid-1980s you say. I call BS !
I've been working with computers since mass storage was drums - the origin of the snare-drum design on older PCs next to the light that flickered when your hard drive was I/O - and before "removable mass storage" was a stack of six tan/brown platters slightly larger than a vinyl album.
So let's talk.
Tell me, what controller standard were the top Seagate drives in 1985 ? Why would someone attempt to LLF a hard drive to RLL? What were the drawbacks of such an attempt?
These are super basic questions. The answers are no doubt available on the web so it's not much of of a verification process. But there are more questions as well.
Me? I'll order a couple of these 3-TB units.
@lazarus1: That's MFM an RLL to gain half again more space and the price was a less reliable drive but I never had one fail. Cute to bring that up as the Seagates were the easiest to do that with.
The first brand of drives I dissed were Conner then it was Quantum then it was... you get the idea. We all have our bad runs. In the end it's a Ford\Toyota argument that can never be settled. Get what you want when you can and and bad-mouth everyone else in the forums, that's what I just started to always say.
Sorry, RLL an MFM drive. :-O
Couldn't... stop... One... on... way...

Sustainability features include rooftop solar panels capable of producing 14,000 kilowatts-hours per year and a highly energy-efficient building envelope and heating and cooling system. Lighting, windows, lavatory fixtures and other details are all designed for maximum efficiency, while bicycle storage and changing rooms encourage alternative transportation. The construction process emphasized using recycled content and diverting waste from the landfill.
A team of designers, architects, project managers and engineers, as well as a building committee, contributed to the project's success.

I have seen underscores and earmuffs (like
_good_ or
*good*) frequently used in conversations among programmers. All I know is that underscores are used to denote private variables or methods in languages like C, Python etc. and earmuffs are the preferred way of indicating that something is a global variable.
Do these have any other punctuational meaning when they are used outside code, in mailing lists etc? Does the highlighted word have any hidden meaning or expression added to it? Or, are they just like air quotes?

I've just started a PhD in Group Theory and need to use the computer programme MAGMA. I wonder if anyone could help me with a couple of (probably very basic things).
I need to produce a Hasse diagram for subgroups of a given group containing a given Sylow subgroup of the group. In MAGMA I can use the command Subgroups(G:OrderMultipleOf:=??) to obtain all subgroups of a group G which contain a Sylow subgroup, however is there a command I can use so that for a given group G and a Sylow subgroup S, I can produce all subgroups of G containing S.
As I'm very new to MAGMA, does anyone know of any good books, publications or websites aiding someone to use MAGMA for group theoretical purposes.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Many structural steel fabricators are loyal to shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). But technology advancements in the wire feed process known as flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), paired with an increasingly competitive market, have changed the landscape of structural steel environments, and by extension the opinions of the most loyal SMAW users.
June 1, 2010
Architects and engineers are designing structures with new and innovative shapes. To meet these ever-changing requirements, manufacturers may turn to solid-state, high-frequency electric resistance welding (HF ERW) to produce engineered structural sections at high speeds with unlimited beam profiles, better structural performance, and with lighter weights.

The orbital welding process has seen significant advancements in electronic control technology that have helped open the door to a wider array of applications while making it more cost effective to use.

The X-factor, also known as the Bruscato factor, is an important equation for anyone welding with chrome-moly steel. The equation will help you test your filler metals for levels of phosphorus, antimony, tin, and arsenic that could make a weldment susceptible to temper embrittlement.
May 4, 2010
Like many companies, Ultra Machine and Fabrication Inc., Shelby, N.C., a fabricator of armored military vehicles, believed the welders should clean up their own weldments for spatter, slag, and other discontinuities. But when welders were spending less and less time under the hood, Ultra re-evaluated this philosophy and, as a result, implemented a separate postweld cleaning team.

I had my trip to Hong Kong and stayed in Mong Kok Apt 4 from Cathy. Cathy is good and helpful, we meet her at MTR Mongkok station exit E2 and walk to the building within 5min, it is near and easy to find. The apartment is clean as she promise and space enough for us 4 person.
All facilities for us is useful and in good condition.
We all 4 was satisfy and happy to stay in this apartment with great location and condition.
thanks Cathy
Cathy was a god sent as BA managed to loose 2 of our suitcases. She told me all we needed to know about the apartment and the only issue we had was that the induction cooker would sometimes cut out due to overheating but we hardly cooked during our stay anyway so was not really a problem.
The apartment is clean, well equipped and fully air-conditioned and as it's on the top floor we had no issue with noise whatsoever.
Cathy was excellent and I would definitely stay in the apartment again.
Would definitely stay there again and with Cath
comfortable and happy stay in this place and owner very nice also.. thank you

Cathy's apartment is nicely located, a few steps away from Mong Kok station and the street market. It's easy to roam around Hong Kong with its location.
The place is very tidy, the wifi internet is very fast, the amenities are good. The place is kept clean.
Cathy is very friendly and patient when we weren't able to meet her at the designated meeting place, she waited still. She also extended our stay, free of charge, since we have a later flight.

Team Collaboration using Designer
Is it possible for 2+ developers to be working on the same Sencha Designer project in parallel?
It is not clear to me whether having a single *.xds file can be merged back together nicely into version control tool...
1 Feb 2012 6:55 PM #2
There is no longer a single XDS file. There are now lots of files. 1 or more per top level class. This makes it much easier to use both source control and have multiple developers.Phil Strong
2 Feb 2012 5:30 AM #3
That is excellent to hear.
Thank you!
29 Feb 2012 6:14 PM #4
Workflow example?
Is there a workflow example of using Designer in a collaborative environment? Right now we're using Dropbox to store the designer project file. I'm wondering if there is a better way...
Also, in terms of collaboration, Designer overwrites everything in the View folder (even outside of the UI folder) - is there a way to turn that off so that those files can be maintained by people who don't have Designer? Or, is there another file structure that we should be using?
