Can a Cohen marry a bat niddah? Are Cohens generally restricted from marrying baalot teshuva because of the possibility that they may be b'not niddah?

The Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer 4:13 says that a ben or bat niddah is 'pagum' (defective). The Beit Shemuel, Chelkat Mechokek and Gra (the major commentaries there) all say that this does not exclude them from marrying a kohein.
I've never seen any restriction brought down in halacha that would prohibit a Cohen from marrying a Bat Niddah.
Moreover, the application of Ben/Bat Niddah has been severly downplayed by 20th century poskim.
(All of the above quotes come verbatim from here , although I have learned them originally elsewhere)
The last point about not being a "niddah mide'oraita" is significant: Technically, a woman must have r'iah (seeing) AND hargasha (an internal sensation) to qualify as an actual niddah. It could very well be that in our times, no woman is ever a Torah-level niddah.
So one on hand, we still treat the prohibition of sleeping with a niddah very seriously, because even the possibility of kares (spiritual excision) is a serious matter.
On the other hand, AFTER THE FACT, there are many reasons to say that no one is truly a ben/bat niddah nowadays.

With a simple piece of code I could deduce that for any non-negative integer $x$ the value of $x^2 \pmod{16}$ is always a number from the set $\{0, 1, 4, 9\}$. However, the math behind it evades me. Can anyone explain the reason behind this?
Note that the square of an odd number is always $\equiv 1\pmod 8$ because $(2k+1)^2=4k^2+4k+1=4k(k+1)+1$ and one of $k, k+1$ is even. Thus the square of an odd number is always $\equiv 1$ or $\equiv 9 \pmod {16}$. If a number is the double of an odd number, therefore its suqre is $\equiv 4\cdot 1$ or $\equiv 4\cdot 9\pmod {16}$, but both mean $\equiv 4\pmod {16}$. Finally, if a number is divisible by $4$, its square is divisible by $16$, hence $\equiv 0\pmod {16}$.
$x=8k+n$ where $n\in\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$, so $x^2=64k^2+16kn+n^2$ where $n^2\in\{0,1,4,9,16,25=16+9,36=2\times 16+4,49=3\times 16+1\}.$
You can just check the possible values for $x=0,1,\dots,15$. If you have $x=a+16k$ for some $a$ in $\{0,1,\dots,15\}$, you have $x^2=(a+16k)^2=a^2+16(\dots)=a^2$.
It is true in general that if you have some function $f(n)$ composed of addition and multiplication that $f(n)=f(n+ka)$ if you calculate mod $a$, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic.
Hint $\rm\ mod\ 16\!:\ (2^n (2k\!+\!1))^2\! = 4^{n+1} k(k\!+\!1) + 4^n\! \equiv 4^n$ if $\rm\,n\ge 1,\,$ else $\rm\equiv 8\,j + 1\:$ if $\rm\,n=0.$
$(4k)^2\equiv 0\pmod{16}$
$(4k+2)^2=16k^2+16k+4\equiv 4\pmod{16}$
$(4k\pm1)^2=16k^2\pm 8k+1\equiv 8k+1\pmod{16}\equiv1 \pmod{16}$ if $k$ is even.
If $k$ is odd $=2c+1, (4k\pm1)^2\equiv 8k+1\pmod{16}\equiv(2c+1)8+1\equiv9\pmod{16}$

Physically Strenuous or Hazardous Work During Pregnancy
In This Article:
Desk job
Computer Work
In the 1980s, certain studies suggested a link between video display terminals (VDTs) and problem pregnancies. The media picked up the story, and it persists today. But since that time, many more studies have been conducted on the connection between working in front of a computer screen all day and birth defects and miscarriages. So far, there seems to be no relationship between the two. The level of radiation emitted from a computer is less than the level you receive from sunshine. Panic is certainly not called for.
But if you are still worried about radiation from your computer, you can take some steps to make yourself feel better.
- Try to reduce the amount of time you spend in front of the screen when you are not actually using the computer.
- Some people feel safer when they put a grounded electrically conductive filter over the screen.
Pregnancy Facts
The Supreme Court recently ruled that women of reproductive age could not be barred from working with materials that might be hazardous to a fetus. This ruling came in response to a rule formulated by a company that manufactured batteries. The rule banned all women from handling certain materials known to carry a risk of causing birth defects. Women's groups opposed the ban because they feared it would be used to exclude all women from higher-paying jobs that involve physical labor or other potential hazards to pregnancy. If you want to avoid these kinds of jobs during your pregnancy, you'll have to speak up and say so.
The real danger in using a computer all day comes from the physical strain of sitting. If you work at a computer terminal, you might be prone to eye, neck, wrist, arm, and back strain, especially during pregnancy. To avoid these problems you should take frequent breaks; find excuses to walk around every once in a while (frequent trips to the bathroom are the perfect cover). While sitting at your desk, do some stretching exercises to keep your muscles from cramping. Rotate your ankles. Shrug your shoulders up, back, and down. Roll your head forward and around. Bend forward at your waist, tense your back muscles and relax. Sit up tall and throw your shoulders back. Any of these simple moves will help you feel more comfortable.

How many times have you heard or said, "I'll always have a car payment"? That's the normal way of thinking. But normal is broke. We want to be WEIRD! To get new results, you have to try new things.
So think about this:
- What if you decided to stop messing with car payments?
- What if you invested that old car payment every month instead of giving it away to the bank?
- What if we showed you a six-year plan that would put you in free cars for the rest of your life?
- What if that plan also made you a millionaire?

Very successful, congratulations!
Main Content
you are more concentrate in this picture,,,,wow its Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A the reflection makes the photo seem as a double exposure photograph.
love this photo for so many reasons ...
magical city, i love you...
This truly is a great photograph. It reminds us of how we aspire to achieve all things with youth on our side. It also confirms that in with the passage of time we acquire wisdom accepting that ultimately our lives are in God's hands. Excellent shot!
Incredible. I love this picture. Well done =]
It seems like the young man is the memory of the old man. Excellent photo.
I like this picture.
I love this photo so much. It captures the essence of two separate souls in one similar world of emotions. beautiful
More than awesome shot
very nice shot Mrs. Ates.. ( insan temalı fotoğraflar üzerinde çalışmayı seviyosun anlaşılan, tebrikler Merve ;)
Two lives, two generations. There is a story here worth wondering about.
Good photo.
Awesome theme of the pic !!
But seems to be 2 super-imposed pics.... considering that the wooden part of the window frame can neither reflect nor be transparent , as it seems to be doing in this pic.
@Madhumita Pal the window was probably 2 panels, one on the inside and one on the outside with a wooden piece running through the middle
Wonderful ...........................
The Best photo of all the times in 2014.
Infinities LIKES..............................
very touching
I got this feeling!... wow great moment captured
Terrific, Awsome
Reflections of the mind. A picture of a thousand words. Ones imagination can span a lifetime here between the young and the old - past and present. One of the best photos on this " Photo Of The Day".
this world and other world
The future of now.
Wow, it look like a spirits images, it can be us, the past the future, the questions and the regrets, the input and the output, the desire and the confirmation.
Wow !
A simply fantastic shot! Good eye!
I can feel the story from this picture.Excellent!
Is it just me who somehow saw resemblance between the boy and the man? My imagination is they are identical; Memories of his youth suddenly flash back to an old man while reading a book. Vividly he sees himself looking down, sitting by the handrail. Smell of seawater. Seagulls. Wind. He now remembers everything.
I really love the story this photo tells. It's so compelling I'd read whatever book it accompanied.
Best photo I've seen in a long time. Whimsical, beautiful.
love this photo
This photo tells a story...just wonderful!
I love this photo so much! Fantastic shot.
The old and the young spiritual reflection.
Great one!!
I find layers upon layers every time I look at it! The turmoiled part of the waves troubling the young man outside is reflected upon the chest of the old man who is supposed to be calm and wise. The journey has not ended yet and the solace sought through the years is now searched for in the holy texts. Amazing my friend!
Man reading, traveling, reflecting, amazing.
I'm usually more a fan of a landscapes and nature, but this photo really caught my attention. There is such a story left to the imagination in this photo! I love it!
What a startling photograph! I immediately thought of the young and the old, the past and the present as if we are seeing one person reflected in their journey of life. Poignant and wonderful!

I've been learning game theory on my own and was just curious how it connected with previous things I've learned. So are there any interesting connections between Game Theory and Algebraic Topology? or possibly other branches of topology?
One example is in the concept of a Nash equilibrium, whose existence can be proved using various (topological) fixed point theorems. (Google "nash equilibrium proof" for a wide variety of examples... the main topological machinery that comes up is the Kakutani fixed point theorem or the plain-vanilla Brouwer theorem.)
Fixed point theorems come up in many other, similar settings; you see them a lot in certain kinds of mathematical economics. The overall intuition is that given a current set of known player strategies, people will generally want to change to better strategies. This defines a function on the "space of strategies". A fixed point of this function is interesting because it indicates an "equlibrium" of strategies that are in a sense optimal. Often topology is the best way to prove a fixed point exists.
There's a neat paper by David Gale on the connection between Brouwer's fixed point theorem and the game of Hex. The fixed point theorem is 'equivalent' to the theorem that the game cannot end in a tie.
The Banach-Mazur game is an example of a game in a topological setting. There are various other games of this nature which are mostly related to foundational questions in point-set topology.
I'm afraid I can't think of a meaningful connection between game theory and algebraic topology. I think that real algebraic geometry plays a part in the study of various types of equilibria in a game-theoretic context, but that's about alll I can say about this.
Game theory makes me think of economics, so here's a paper you might be interested in:
This paper looks at social choice (aggregating the desires of many people into a single outcome) from a topological perspective.
Here is an article on topology and game theory:
Social choice and game theory: recent results with a topological approach
Chichilnisky, Graciela (1983): Social choice and game theory: recent results with a topological approach. Published in: Social Choice and Welfare Chap. 6 (1983): pp. 79-102.
Here is the abstract:
This chapter presents a summary of recent results obtained in game and social choice theories, and highlights the application and the development of tools in algebraic topology. The purpose is expository: no attempt is made to provide complete proofs, for which references are given, nor to review the previous work in this area, which covers a significant subset of the economic literature. The aim is to provide an oriented guide to recent results, through economic examples with geometric interpretations, and to indicate possible fruitful avenues of research.
It is available here:
In the theory of refinements of the Nash equilibrium concepts, people have looked at the topological structure of the Nash correspondence (the map from games to the set of equilibra). The seminal paper is by Kohlberg and Mertens in Econometrica 1986. They also introduced a refinement, stable sets. The theory of stable sets has been further developed, often using ideas and concepts from algebraic topology.
There is work by Jean-Jacques Herings on computation of Nash equilibria using homotopy methods.
In evolutionary game theory, one often studies complex dynamical systems and these sometimes give rise to problems where algebraic topology is useful. Stefano Demichelis did some work related to this.
I haven't read the paper, and am not competent to judge its worth or novelty, but math.AG/0301001 might be of interest here.
Sperner's Lemma comes to mind. It can be used to prove various results about fair division (being strongly related to the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem). Ideas from homology can be used to simplify proofs of its generalized form. See Francis Su's papers (http://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/papers.html).
Borel Determinacy and more modern improvements link game theory to topology, but more along the measure theory vein than algebraic topology

Flows and Decompositions of Games: Harmonic and Potential Games Authors: Ozan Candogan, Ishai Menache, Asuman Ozdaglar, Pablo A. Parrilo
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a novel flow representation for finite games in strategic form. This representation allows us to develop a canonical direct sum decomposition of an arbitrary game into three components, which we refer to as the potential, harmonic and nonstrategic components. We analyze natural classes of games that are induced by this decomposition, and in particular, focus on games with no harmonic component and games with no potential component. We show that the first class corresponds to the well-known potential games. We refer to the second class of games as harmonic games, and study the structural and equilibrium properties of this new class of games. Intuitively, the potential component of a game describes the possibility of agreement and coordination between players, while the harmonic part represents the conflicts between their interests. We make this intuition precise, by studying the properties of these two classes, and show that indeed they have quite distinct and remarkable characteristics. For instance, while finite potential games always have pure Nash equilibria, harmonic games generically never do. Moreover, we show that the nonstrategic component does not affect the equilibria of a game, but plays a fundamental role in their efficiency properties, thus decoupling the location of equilibria and their payoff-related properties. Exploiting the properties of the decomposition framework, we obtain explicit expressions for the projections of games onto the subspaces of potential and harmonic games. This enables an extension of the properties of potential and harmonic games to 'nearby' games. We exemplify this point by showing that the set of approximate equilibria of an arbitrary game can be characterized through the equilibria of its projection onto the set of potential games.
In combinatorial game theory (more specifically, the theory of impartial games), the set of winning options of a winning option is the empty set, which reminds me of the fact that the boundary of the boundary of a manifold-with-boundary is empty.
Also, when one takes a disjunctive sum of two impartial games $G$ and $H$, an option of $G+H$ is of the form $G'+H$ or $G+H'$, where $G'$ is an option of $G$ and $H'$ is an option of $H$. This reminds me of the definition of a derivation: $D(fg) = (Df)g + f(Dg)$. The two examples of derivations that come to mind are differentiation of functions and, as above, the boundary operation $\partial$ applied to manifolds-with-boundary: the boundary of $M_1 \times M_2$ is $\partial M_1 \times M_2 \cup M_1 \times \partial M_2$.
I have no idea whether there's an way to cash in on this formal resemblance.
I'm coming from the other side: familiar with game theory and learning about algebraic topology.

I recently spoke with a woman who was stressed because her husband has cancer and he seemed to be in denial over the seriousness of his situation.
What was especially upsetting to her was that he didn't want to address any end of life issues like drafting a will.
I've been mulling this over ever since. What happens when a couple faces cancer and they aren't on the same page?
It's sometimes a matter of perspective. Is the glass half-full or half-empty? With a particular cancer, the chance of surviving might be 80 percent. On the other hand, the chance of dying is 20 percent. Different people focus on different numbers.
It can also be a function of timing. Absorbing a diagnosis of cancer doesn't happen overnight and people have to do it at their own pace. Your partner won't necessarily process the news and their accompanying emotions on your timetable.
And realize that a partner's seeming denial might be a useful coping strategy in the short-term. It's how they can get through the next few weeks without falling apart.
Here are a few recommendations:
Sometimes the person in denial is the individual with cancer. Just as often, it's the partner of the person with cancer who's the one in denial. Either way, the principles of being patient and supportive of your partner while addressing your own needs works equally well in either situation.

Titanfall season pass and post-launch DLC confirmed, free features to come, tooWritten by: / / No Comments
Respawn Entertainment's Vince Zampella has confirmed Titanfall players will have the opportunity to buy a season pass of downloadable content for the game, with both free and paid DLC to be offered for the mech-based first-person multiplayer shooter post launch.
Speaking with Gamespot recently, Zampella confirmed that the team plans "to do DLC to support the game. We're going to do paid DLC. We're also going to do free updates."
Zampella also mentioned that Respawn will be adding features to Titanfall that the team wasn't able to get into the final game, "so we'll add private matches and things like that for free," he said. The studio head was also keen to assure us that while there won't be microsotransactions in Titanfall, there will be a season pass of DLC because "if you buy it up front, you get a deal […] So, you know, a season pass is just, buy it up front and get a better price."
Xbox 360 Progress Report
Following the delay of the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall, pushing the release of this version of the game back two weeks, it was assumed that the delay was due to issues of the all-important 'polish,' with conspiracy theories pointing to co-marketer Microsoft aiming to make the Xbox One version of Titanfall more desirable for console players. Zampella spoke about how a day one patch for Titanfall on Xbox One is forcing the Xbox 360 edition to 'lag behind,' forcing Bluepoint Games to integrate any title update additions into its port.
Will the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Titanfall be equal? Zampella said that "[the] goal is to get it as close as possible. Obviously it won't be exact. It's on a less powerful system." What about on-going support for each version of the game – will that be equal? "[We'll] have to sit down with EA and talk about that, but my assumption is yes," says Zampella.
Singleplayer Decisions
Zampella also reiterated Respawn's decision to focus on the multiplayer of Titanfall, as opposed to crafting a full solo campaign with online play included, similar to Call of Duty or Battlefield, saying that the decision was based on "looking at where people spend most of their time." Zampella said:
"Generally, people burn through a single player campaign as fast as they can, you spend 5-6 hours, and 80% of the work goes into that. And then you go and spend 100 hours in this thing that gets bare bones – it's the minimum you can get away with.
"For us, it was about pushing the boundaries of what multiplayer is. So let's take all that great single player stuff, build up the world – that world that you're going to spend a hundred hours in should be the most full-featured."
Do you agree with the practice of season passes, and do you think Respawn should have worked on a singleplayer campaign to accompany the game's multiplayer focus?
Titanfall is out on Xbox One and PC on March 11th in North America, March 13th in Europe and March 14th in the UK. The Xbox 360 version is out on March 25th in North America, and March 28th in the UK and Europe following a delay.
The previously announced collector's edition recently got a glorious unboxing video to showcase its contents – take a look over here. Titanfall also recently got a pulse-racing launch trailer, which you can watch here.
Have you waded through El33tonline's already extensive current and continued coverage? You can find even more videos, screenshots and details. Also don't miss El33tonline's hands-on preview of Titanfall, as well as our impressions of the game from E3 2013, and our in-depth interview with producer Drew McCoy.

I made a dish that used a small amount of wine and now I'm wondering how long I can keep the rest of it for next time. I know you wouldn't want to keep good drinking wine around long after opening it, but does the wine get too bad to use in cooking quickly? It's Chardonnay, if it matters. Thanks!
Opened wine spoils fast. Red wine lasts about 1 day, white wine lasts about 3 days. You can prolong this slightly by putting it in the refrigerator, but only by a few days at most, and it depends on the wine.
It may be "safe" to consume for much longer, but the taste will be way off, even for cooking purposes. If you've opened it - finish it. ASAP.
There are exceptions: "Cooking wines" such as cooking sherry and rice cooking wine have an array of preservatives added and will keep for much longer. But don't leave perfectly good Chardonnay just sitting around to oxidize.
The trick is that you won't want it to oxidize (although, red wine needs to 'breathe' to reduce some of the tannins, which is why @DanielBingham said it might improve.) So, if you just need to hold it for a few days, store the bottle upright (minimize surface area exposed to air), and not on the door of the fridge -- it'll get jostled and mix air into it.
They also sell gadgets that inject nitrogen or other non-oxygen gas into bottles, or things to suck out the air, etc. But if you're not much of a wine drinker, from your earlier comments, I wouldn't bother. (hell, I don't even know if they work).
Oh -- boxed wine will last longer -- because there's a bag inside the box, when you pour out wine, the bag deflates, so air doesn't go back in (or not much of it). You can hold boxed wine for a week or two, maybe even longer without problem.
If you're not much of a wine drinker, and only cook with the wine -- you might want to consider freezing it -- as with everything else -- an ice cube tray, freeze, transfer to zip-top bag. Then, when you need little for a sauce, you can just thaw out of a cube or two. It might not be as great as "fresh" bottle of wine, but if you're cooking with it, most people won't notice the difference, and it'd still be better than a dedicated "cooking" wine.
I'm surprised this simple cliche answer isn't here yet, so here we go:
"If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it."
This can apply both to which wine to buy and to if that week old bottle is still ok to use.
For cooking wine, it can keep for weeks in the refrigerator, depending upon how picky you are about the flavor. White Wines especially, we've kept for weeks or longer and the flavor was not changed significantly. Admittedly they were cheap white wines, but that's what we usually used for cooking. Red Wines, I don't know about, but I would guess that if you kept them in the fridge it would be about the same.
Edit: The assumption behind this is that your an average Joe cooking for yourself or your family. And keep means it hasn't turned to sour vinegar. It may not taste the same as when you'd just opened it, and you probably shouldn't do it if you're in cooking school or a nice restaurant. But if you're the average person who doesn't have a ton of income to spend on a new bottle of wine every time you want to cook with it and your question is "How long can I get away with keeping it?" then the answer is several weeks in the refrigerator.
Opened wine will spoil quickly. Reds will usually stay drinkable longer than whites, but it depends on the specific wine. The effect is somewhat similar to massively accelerated cellar aging, at a rate of several years per day.
If you have small containers with good seals that you can fill all the way to the top (I use 250 ml screw-top San Pellegrino bottles), you can portion out a newly-opened bottle of wine, and it will keep for a little while. The key is to leave as little air space as possible.
If you are making a dish that calls for a small quantity of white wine, try using white vermouth, which will keep for months in the fridge. This is what I do for risotto, which usually calls for 1/2 cup or so of wine, and the results are very good.
For white wine, I always use dry Vermouth. It lasts forever unrefrigerated, doesn't cost much, doesn't sour, and it's a damn fine substitution if I do say so myself. The only time I use anything else is when I plan on using the better part of a bottle, in which case the specific character of the wine is more important.
Keeping an actual nice white wine? It's not going to happen. Even in a refrigerator it'll be going off within a week of being opened. And crappy "cooking wine" brand wine doesn't even bear consideration.
Red wines are even worse, because they oxidize rapidly on contact with air, and tend not to be refrigerated at all. I use Sherry in the place of red wine in some dishes, but I tend to use red wine most in stews and braises and there I tend to measure by the bottle.
Please don't bother EVER buying "cooking wine". This is simply nasty cheap wine that has a bunch of preservatives added.
I have used red wine for cooking tomato based sauces, beef stews and chili for years, and at times have left the wine in the refrigerator for a few months and used it again. Of course I taste it to make sure it hasn't turned, if it still tastes good I use it (I know what good wine tastes like). I store it on it's side in a cold (34.5 degree) refrigerator. I usually spend between $6.99 to $8.99 a bottle on sale, and buy only Oregon or Washington wines. I don't know about white wines, I cook with them but also drink the same wine with the meal, typically a fish or chicken dinner.

It took a whole fleet of NYPD officers, both uniformed and in plainclothes, to take down just a handful of young women at the 125th St 2/3 subway station on Friday night. Between the bumbling cops and the screeching girls, no one here ends up looking good.
Apparently the cops confronted the girls after they were caught jumping the turnstile to take the subway. When they tried to arrest them, they fought back by screaming, slapping, and hitting the police with their bags. After being handily outmatched by the girls, the cops finally got some backup, and the girls were finally apprehended. Jeez, people! All this for a $2.25 fare? [via AnimalNY]

TILTONSVILLE - Village Council Tuesday night tabled the resignation of Police Chief Jerry Davis but accepted the resignations of three police officers, including Officer Chase Watts, Officer Dustin Hilderbrand and Lt. Jason Harter.
Davis has worked for the department for 12-and-a-half years while Watts and Hilderbrand have been Tiltonsville officers for three years and Harter has been employed in the department for 14 years.
Harter accused Mayor Jerry Vinci of changing the police schedule, and Vinci said he revised the schedule because Davis, who works day turn submitted his resignation, leaving that shift empty.
"I have to fill the turn so an officer could be at the school," the mayor added.
Some officers voiced the opinion that the mayor isn't in charge of commanding the police department and thought Harter should have been called about the resignation.
Several officers and some residents said it appeared that there was no communication among the mayor, council and police department. More than 30 residents, six officers from Tiltonsville and two from other departments were at the meeting.
"We need to come together," said Councilwoman Kris Prati. "There definitely is a lack of communication.This sickens me. It sickens me that our chief is resigning after 12 -and-a-half years. The chief and the mayor need to resolve this."
Prati asked Davis that if there had been a gap between him and mayor why the chief didn't go to the council's police committee. That committee includes council members Prati, Jason Staskey and Kelly Klubert.
"I feel that $6,800 is the straw that broke the camel's back," Prati said.
Vinci said that the only issue that he knew of involving him and Davis was the change in the employee formula payment. He went on to say that he discovered the way it was written, Davis as an assistant code administrator would be paid $6,800 for filling out building permits.
The mayor added he didn't feel it was fair to residents, and he had asked council last year to institute an ordinance that would make the pay scale in alignment with the work performed.
After Harter indicated that the officers at Tuesday's meeting agreed with council but not the mayor, he, Hilderbrand and Watts walked up to the council table and put their badges and keys on the table with letters of resignation.
A lengthy letter was read by Tammy Davis, the chief's wife, during the meeting.
Tammy Davis reported in her letter that the chief had tried on numerous occasions to get raises for full-time officers because they were always leaving for other departments which paid more money and also tried to get new tires for the cruisers for months. After each of these statements, she said that he was told the money's not there.
"Where's all the money going?" she asked.
Tammy Davis also noted at one point that the chief "worked 12 16-hour shifts five to six days a week for the entire summer for this department because it was his job to make sure the 24-hour police protection that the residents voted for was upheld. (He was) working overtime in July and August and no one on the administration seemed to care. The money just wasn't there to make someone full time and pay for their benefits. At least, he was told so."
The final paragraph of her letter noted, in part, "Jerry was disliked by some, most of whom didn't get their way because he didn't play favorites, but he was loved by most and will be sadly missed. I think most would agree that Chief Davis should hold his head high and be proud of the respect his department had gained during his reign and his numerous accomplishments. Jerry truly loved serving his town and its residents, but he couldn't knowingly work for someone who doesn't treat everyone fairly, or he couldn't trust someone who picks and chooses who has to follow the ordinances and who doesn't. You can't pick and choose and make your own rules to what is convenient for you. It is a shame it had to end like this."
Clerk-Treasurer Tim Rankin had itemized statements of how the $45,000 or a little more in police levy money was used. He added that $142,000 already had been spent in the police department and presented some of the figures before adding, "Many times, I've had to transfer money to buy items."
Vinci said he never wanted Davis to resign and told him during the meeting that he could tear up the resignation and return to the department. Davis made no comment.
The mayor added that he found the resignation letter under council's front door Nov. 13, and Davis noted he was resigning for another job with the resignation to be effective Nov. 30. The letter also noted Davis wouldn't work after Nov. 16, because he was taking vacation time.
Klubert said an effort had been made to get officials together to try to talk Davis out of resigning. "We shouldn't be here tonight like this," she added, indicating it hadn't been possible to get everyone together.
Three Tiltonsville officers remain, and Vinci said the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department has agreed to help in Tiltonsville when an officer isn't on duty.

AfroReggae is a Brazilian NGO that empowers destitute youths through cultural empowerment. The organization was founded in 1993, right after Rio de Janeiro police massacred twenty-one civilians in the Vigario Geral favela (the Portuguese equivalent of slum). The founders of the organization recognized that young people in these favelas were given no cultural reference points aside from pervasive violence and the drug trade. Because they are given no alternatives, many of these impoverished Brazilians become tied up in narcotrafficking gangs at a very early age and are unable to ever escape. AfroReggae's mission is to promote development by bringing culture to these people who have lost their culture.
The organization's efforts have been a model of success, as its founders used their connections in the local favela communities, the Rio government, and even the narcotraffickers, to gradually expand AfroReggae's operations to more of Rio's impoverished favelas. At a recent event in Washington D.C., Damien Platt, the author of a recently-published book about AfroReggae called Culture is our Weapon, detailed the full extent of AfroReggae's efforts in Rio: several bands, five culture centers that offer classes, a samba group, an all-girl percussion group, a theater group, a dance and procussion group, a circus school, a TV program, a magazine, and two to three radio programs. Damien first encountered AfroReggae while working for Amnesty International in Rio, and later worked as AfroReggae's International Relations coordinator from 2006 to 2008.
The experience of AfroReggae shows that targeted cultural development programs, carefully tailored to the local environment, can have transformative effects on impoverished communities. Clearly, AfroReggae's efforts should be encouraged by the local government in Rio de Janeiro so that they can spread to the city's other destitute favelas. However, this organization's successes raise the question of whether similar efforts can be undertaken elsewhere in Brazil. For example, Brazil's Tri-Border Areas, particularly the triple frontier with Paraguay and Argentina, have received considerable international attention in recent years, due to allegations that Middle Eastern terrorist groups have profited enormously from the illegal drug trade in these loosely-governed border areas. Could Brazil improve its efforts to undermine the drug trade in the southern Tri-Border Area by promoting efforts similar to AfroReggae's in Rio?
In his talk, Damien Platt highlighted that race relations have played an important role in AfroReggae's success in Rio: not only are AfroReggae's Afro-Brazilian clients socioeconomically marginalized, but they are also racially marginalized. AfroReggae addresses both of these social problems, giving their favela clients specific Afro-Brazilian cultural reference points. If similarly marginalized minorities exist in the Tri-Border Areas, Indian tribes and Middle Eastern immigrants for example, AfroReggae's development model could be put to use elsewhere within Brazil. AfroReggae's development efforts in Rio have taken over a decade to grow their current stage, and fostering this kind of grassroots development in the Tri-Border Area will take time – all the more reason to get started soon. If any of you know of any studies indicating whether this model could be successful in Brazil's TBAs, please send it our way.

I need cumin for everything I make, but its not available where i recently moved. However anise is available, and someone told me that cumin can be substituted by anise. Is this true?
I'd say no. These are two very different tastes: anise is freshy with a distinctive aroma than resembles licorice whereas cumin is on the earthy side of the palette.
For substituting cumin I'd go with ground coriander seeds. You'll of course need to adjust quantities
There may be some applications for which aniseed is an acceptable alternative to cumin seeds, but in general, the flavor is not even remotely similar. Caraway seeds would be a better bet, even though they are not something I think someone expecting cumin would accept as sufficiently cumin-like.
When I lived in a small town in Germany, I found that cumin was occasionally available in supermarkets and natural food stores, but the best way to obtain it was to trek to a Middle eastern, Turkish, Greek, Egyptian, Ethiopian or Indian market. Oddly enough, it seemed that all sorts of unrelated "ethnic" ingredients made it to these places, perhaps because foreigners would come to these places hoping to find things that were not available for a reasonable price in normal supermarkets.
For things not available in our small town, I would occasionally make a trek to a larger city by train and buy things there. It turned out that shops in our town were actually doing that themselves on occasion. Now, I would expect that mail order would be a reasonable option, if you're sufficiently remote. It's not terribly expensive to ship an assortment of spices.
If you want Cumin, get cumin, you can order it from Amazon and have it delivered right to your door.

GENESEO, N.Y. – The Rev. Father Gerard D'Souza, the recently installed Abbot of the Abbey of the Genesee, will deliver SUNY Geneseo's 2013 MacVittie Lecture Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Doty Hall Tower Room. His address, "Desire and 'The Word'," is free and open to the public.
Abbot D'Souza was born in Qatar and raised in India, where he earned his bachelor's degree in psychology. After seminary studies in Mumbai, he moved to the United States, where he earned a master's degree in religious studies from the Institute of Religious Studies in Yonkers. In 1992, he entered the Abbey of the Genesee, a cloistered Trappist monastery near the Geneseo campus.
D'Souza took his solemn vows in 1999, completed priestly studies at Catholic University and was ordained in 2001. He is the sixth abbot in the 61-year history of the Abbey of the Genesee.
The MacVittie Lecture Series – named in memory of SUNY Geneseo President Emeritus Robert W. MacVittie and in honor of his wife, Margaret (Peggy) – brings prominent theologians to campus to examine issues as they relate to questions of ultimate existence.
The lecture also is an element of this year's Geneseo Interfaith Service Project (GISP), "The Power of Stories: Communicating Who We Are." The college launched GISP in 2011 as part of the White House's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, which encourages campuses across the nation to participate in service projects to bring together people from diverse religious and non-religious background to collectively serve their communities.

Locally advanced breast cancers (LABC) are defined as tumors that measure more than 5 cm, tumors that extend to the chest wall or skin, and tumors with fixed ipsilateral axillary nodes or ipsilateral internal mammary nodes. A multimodality approach has been the treatment of choice for the patients with LABC. However, for elderly patients or patients with severe comorbid conditions, aggressive treatments can be difficult to tolerate. In this study, the researchers evaluated the use of tamoxifen in conjunction with locoregional therapies for patients with LABC who were age > 75 years or who were younger but in poor medical condition.
A total of 47 patients, ages 48 to 86 years, were treated with neoadjuvant tamoxifen followed by surgery and radiotherapy. Adjuvant tamoxifen was given for 5 years or until disease recurrence when feasible.
Neoadjuvant tamoxifen was well tolerated in elderly or frail patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma. Such treatment was proven to be effective with a reasonable response rate and good overall survival for patients with estrogen receptor positive tumors. A larger randomized study is warranted.

KILLEEN (October 22, 2012)--Killeen Police on Monday were investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that Sunday afternoon took the life of a Fort Hood soldier.
Killeen police spokeswoman Carroll Smith said Timothy Laurence Singletary, a Fort Hood soldier, was pronounced dead at 2:41p.m. Sunday by medical authorities at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center.
The accident happened at about 2 p.m. in the 400 block of south Fort Hood St. and involved a motorcycle and another vehicle.
When officers arrived at the scene they found Singletary, 37, lying in the roadway.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the motorcycle was traveling northbound on south Fort Hood St. just north of Hallmark and a white Dodge Charger was pulling out of a parking lot in the 400 block of south Fort Hood St., attempting to make a left turn to travel southbound.
Officers said the motorcycle struck the rear of the Charger near the center turn lane.
Upon impact the rider was thrown from the motorcycle and came to rest in the northbound lanes of Fort Hood St.
Smith said a second vehicle, which officers said was a white and red Honda Civic, was traveling northbound and was unable to avoid the motorcyclist who was lying in the roadway and ran over him.
Singletary was transported to the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center where he died from his injuries, Smith said.
The Killeen Police Department Traffic Division is continuing to investigate this crash, Smith said.

PDF/Excel generation
Hello there..,
We have started working on EXT GWT 3, we liked it so far, one of the main requirement is pdf/excel generation for each of the content panel and also for all the contents in a tab.
One way is to use the same data layer as the applicaiton and write code to generate pdf/excel using iText/POI etc. This needs lot of time in writing everything again and when we add or modify something we need to change in many places(pdf, excel, html)
The second way is to transform the html generated to pdf/excel using some of the tools like PD4ML for pdf and just changing the content type for excel. We would like to go for this approach. Any ideas on how I can do this with ext gwt/gwtp and any examples would help well too.
Thank you in advance.

With a server-side tool, you'll need some input to feed to it - it may be possible to get the full innerHtml of some widget on the page, and send that (along with all CSS currently loaded in the header) to the server to have that rendered as a PDF. Keep in mind though, that some of this content/style may be browser specific, and the HTML to PDF tool probably does not account for these differences, but likely emulates a specific browser/style implementation.

I just started my first high school graphic design class a couple months ago, and now I'm using Illustrator to make a logo for my software company.
Info on my company:
- I develop applications for smart phones, sometimes games, and tools for other developers to use
- I try to give users the power of complexity in a simple way (eg. an iphone has some complex soft and hard-ware behind it, yet it's extremely easy to use).
- I try to look at how nature solves problems, and base my solutions around that.
- I try to look at issues from a broad and narrow perspective as to come up with the best solution
Here's 3 versions of my current Logo I threw together:
- How can I make my logo more visually attractive / noticeable?
- How can I re-design parts of it to better promote my company's motos and ideas?

In the Siddur, Pirkei Avos has a different division (in each Perek the amount of Mishnayos) than in the Mishnayos Avos. Who determined the division of the Mishnayos in the Siddur?

Here's how it works:

It seems to me that there is no canonical division of mishnayos beyond the level of perek.
My basis for the statement is the way the Gemara handles and speaks of the mishnayos. In the Gemara, the division of the mishnayos is based only on the discussion. At times (ex. the third chapter of Taanis, starting on 18b) the Gemara will have the entire perek of mishnayos as one undifferentiated lump at the begging of the perek, followed by the Gemara. The term 'מתניתין' - "our Mishnah" - is always used to refer to the entire perek, including teachings that are found later.

Since you did not seem to believe me here is the code.........
Wordpress has introduced new stufs (nodes).
I was searching for remove completly the 'user account box' and add a simple logout :
I'm not sure if you can remove it (haven't checked), but you may achieve the same using css to hide the edit your profile link. The list item has an id 'wp-admin-bar-edit-profile' which you use to hide it. This is the html used in the admin bar:
I'm using the following css:
This hides the link in the admin bar without any of the other links. Add this css snippet to your theme's style.css and the link will be hidden in the admin bar when viewing your site. Hiding it in the admin bar when viewing the WordPress backend involves a bit more and might be moot since there's also a link to the profile in the menu on the left.

A few years ago, my Taekwondo organization (ITF-based if that makes a difference for purposes of this question) made the shift from point-break sparring (sparring stops after one side scores, resets to start and begins again) to continuous sparring (sparring for a set time period with no breaks beyond those necessary for handling fouls or injuries) at competitions. While I was not with the organization during the transition, many of the older members like to debate the merits of point-break sparring. This led me to wonder, what are the primary changes one has to make in terms of approach and style when shifting from point-break to continuous sparring?
The primary change is that daredevil / suicide moves now lose all interest.
All these moves, and more, are now begging for punishment much more than before, when a judge might decide to call a point and stop the encounter before retaliation happens.
This having been said, if you are doing continuous sparring without any kind of focused contact, then you might be inviting the windmill strikes: a lot of small strikes that don't really open you up, but also don't really commit to anything.
One of the major differences is stamina and cardio. Now you have to keep moving for the entire bout, and preferably keep the opponent unbalanced in some way (mental or physical or both). Better breath control is definitely required. In addition, you now also have to keep your hands up for the entire bout. That'll work your shoulders.
And finally (this is not an exhaustive list, but what I consider to be the main points from which everything else derives), point-sparring tends to easily remain on a straight line, like fencing. Continuous sparring forces you to shift around the opponent, otherwise you can easily get overwhelmed on a straight line only.
From my experience point-stop sparring can really lead to 'tag'-like situations, where both opponents are only trying to touch eachother as quickly as possibly with no regard for what happens after the attack / counter-attack.
One of the most frequently used techniques in TKD point-break is the jumping back fist, after which the attacker basicly falls over the defender and counts on the fact that the match is stopped to check if there was a score.
You'll find that training for point-break does have it's merits though. There should be a strong emphasis on explosiveness and accuracy. It also teaches you to see openings really well. On the other hand the drills are focused on single attacks/counter-attacks and on a limited set of techniques. There's usually no point in training a double-punch combo followed by a round kick to the belly button for example.
Continuous sparring is often the favorite with people who believe 'sparring' should mimick a real fight as much as possible. There's a lot more contact and both participants are therefore forced to keep engaging and exchanging. You'll find a lot more combinations being thrown here and a lot more styles of fighting can be succesful. Emphasis during training is on a greater variety of techniques and combinations and the sparring drills are different as well. You'll see that condition places a big role in this form of sparring as well.
Personally I have always favored the continuous style of sparring and found it the most rewarding. That being said I believe you should always try to learn from what other aspects of the sport have to offer as they will almost always allow you to grow as a competitor and/or martial artist.
I agree with other answers here that cardio is definitely a factor. I have to disagree regarding more variation in technique moving from point-break to continuous sparring. I submit that, because the dominant form of competitive TKD sparring is Olympic-style sparring, that you will see less variation in techniques moving to that style. I believe that the techniques one uses in any sparring competition, regardless of style, will be the techniques that are known to point most frequently.
Granted, at the very highest level - the Olympics - you will see some amazing feats, but, often you'll see a lot of bouncing around and adjusting of equipment while each competitor waits for the other to make the first move. Even at that level, the repertoire of techniques and tactics is not really all that large.
The general flow of an Olympic-style match goes like this:
Generally, the defender has the opportunity to accept and incoming strike and immediately counter to nullify any points, or to get out of the way and bring an attack of their own. So, from what I've seen at competitions, there is a significant head game and waiting game going on. At first it involves lots of bouncing and adjusting of equipment. Then someone throws a fake to get the other person to commit. This behavior continues until someone commits, or until the ref calls timeout and fouls one or both combatants for not attacking (this particular foul is relatively recent and I believe is a direct result of the rest of the world getting really bored when watching TKD tournaments).
The adjustments to mindset/training:
There are other factors, such as using the ring and the rules to force fouls or time-outs, etc.
I believe that by changing the style, it helps to improve self defense as well as stamina. It helps in self defense as it simulate a real fight. It also helps in stamina as the fight is continuous. Therefore,I believe that taekwondo is not always focused on brute strength but also helps in thinking fast to either wear down their opponent or to be on the offensive :)

Overdue ouster Last week, Michael Farrell, a captain in the Waterbury Fire Department, was fired after 24 years on the job. Mr. Farrell had a checkered work history. He was suspended for nine days in 1992 for shutting off power to a firehouse dispatch system during an argument with other firefighters over the station TV. Sixteen years later, Mr. Farrell was suspended again, for taking an apparatus with a faulty headlight out on the road. In 2011, he received a verbal reprimand for insubordination. Last month, Mr. Farrell was arrested and charged with first-degree larceny and fraudulent receipt of benefits after being accused of fighting fires as a volunteer in Avon and teaching fire-safety classes while receiving $20,000 in disability pay from the city. That he was in a leadership position makes these charges all the more troubling. As such, Mr. Farrell's ouster was more than appropriate. It sends the message to all city employees it is a privilege to work for taxpayers. It's just amazing he kept his job for so long.
