Italy's highest criminal court on Tuesday overturned Amanda Knox's acquittal in the slaying of her British roommate and ordered a new trial.
Knox called the decision "painful" but said she was confident in the truth.
The Court of Cassation ruled that an appeals court in Florence must re-hear the case against the American student and her Italian ex-boyfriend for the murder of 21-year-old Meredith Kercher. The exact issues that have to be reconsidered won't be known until the court releases its full ruling within 90 days.
Knox, now a student at the University of Washington, stayed up until 2 a.m. Seattle time to hear her fate and issued a statement through a family spokesman.
"It was painful to receive the news that the Italian Supreme Court decided to send my case back for revision when the prosecution's theory of my involvement in Meredith's murder has been repeatedly revealed to be completely unfounded and unfair," the statement said.
Knox said the matter must now be examined by "an objective investigation and a capable prosecution."
"No matter what happens, my family and I will face this continuing legal battle as we always have, confident in the truth and with our heads held high in the face of wrongful accusations and unreasonable adversity," Knox said in the statement.
Kercher's body was found in November 2007 in her bedroom of the house she shared with Knox and others in Perugia, an Italian university town where the two women were exchange students. Her throat had been slashed.
Prosecutors alleged Kercher was the victim of a drug-fueled sex game gone awry. Knox and Sollecito denied wrongdoing and said they weren't even in the apartment that night, although they acknowledged they had smoked marijuana and their memories were clouded.
An Ivory Coast man, Rudy Guede, was convicted of the slaying in a separate proceeding and is serving a 16-year sentence. Knox and Sollecito were also initially convicted of the murder and given long prison sentences, but were then acquitted on appeal and released in 2011.
The high court's ruling Tuesday overturned the appeals court acquittals.
"She thought the nightmare was over," Knox attorney Carlo Dalla Vedova said after the decision was released.
Italian law cannot compel Knox to return from the U.S. for the new trial. The appellate court hearing the case could declare her in contempt of court but that carries no additional penalties.
Della Vedova said Knox wouldn't come to Italy "for the moment" but would follow the case from home. He said he didn't think the new appeals trial would begin before early 2014. Asked if she would come to Italy for the trial, he said: "I don't think so."
It is unclear what would happen if she was convicted in a new appeals trial.

Next, we spray electrostatically charged flock (small nylon fibers) into the adhesive creating a slightly raised image. The mat is then cured in a drying room where the logo becomes chemically bonded to the carpet.
Slight variations in mat colors or imprint colors/flocking may exist due to the manufacturing process. Please request a color swatch to ensure the closest match possible. Colors may not be exact from previous orders. Mat sizes are not always an exact measurement due to the manufacturing process. Overall mat sizes have a +/- 2" tolerance.

Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.

If $f(n)$ is a strictly increasing elementary function from the reals to the reals, and $p(n)$ is the $n$'th prime number. Is there any $f(n)$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{f(p(n))}$ is algebraic, or has a closed form expression in terms of elementary functions?
If not, can we prove the sum to be transcendental?

I am a fairly proficient Linux programmer. I have been coding in Linux for 4 years, for both personal reasons and for profit. During those 4 years I have not even owned a computer running the Windows operating system. I am looking to expand my horizons into Windows programming, but am finding myself overwhelmed with the lack of what I perceive to be standardization. I feel as though different compilers follow different conventions, and all of the worthwhile IDEs cost money. Whats worse is that so many of the Tutorials are just terrible.
If anyone else has taken the switch from Linux to Windows programming, what was the most helpful. What are the most straightforward IDEs and tutorials for using the API.
I am looking to do mainly C and C++ development, along with some x86. I have found MASM primarily suits my needs for the latter.

A joint venture led by Shell said it will invest $3.9 billion on new oil and gas projects in Nigeria that will maintain the country's domestic energy supplies and export capability, while reducing the problem of oil theft from pipelines that has caused serious environmental pollution.
LONDON -- A joint venture led by Shell said it will invest
$3.9 billion on new oil and gas projects in Nigeria that will
maintain the country's domestic energy supplies and export
capability, while reducing the problem of oil theft from
pipelines that has caused serious environmental pollution.
Shell said the investment demonstrates its long term
commitment to its presence in Nigeria, although it also plans a
strategic review of its operations in the country that could
result in the sale of some onshore oil fields.
A $1.5 billion investment in a new pipeline, called the
Trans Niger Pipeline Loop-line (TNPL), should help reduce oil
pollution in the Niger Delta because it will be designed to be
better protected from attempts to steal the oil carried within,
Shell said.
A $2.4 billion investment in five gas projects, collectively called Gbaran
Ubie Phase Two, will provide natural gas to run power stations
in Nigeria and to feed the Nigeria LNG export project, Shell said.
Shell will also conduct a strategic review of their
interests in Nigeria, which could result in its exit from some
onshore oil and gas leases in the eastern part of the Niger
Delta, the company said.
Shell was commenting on behalf of the Shell Petroleum
Development Company, which is its joint venture with Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation, and the local units of Total
and Italy's Eni.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Theodore Roosevelt Island National Memorial
Although officially a part of DC, this island memorial can only be accessed from the Virginia side of the Potomac River. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt was a naturalist. During his administration, he created the U.S. Forest Service and adopted many national parks and forests that total 42 million acres of conserved land. In honor of his efforts toward conservation, Roosevelt's memorial is an island nature reserve. Nearly 90 acres of forest, marsh, and swamp are open daily to the public. No cars are allowed. A 17-foot-tall statue of Teddy Roosevelt stands on the island, surrounded by granite tablets that display his most memorable quotes.
Fun Fact: Theodore Roosevelt was the first American to receive a Nobel Prize.

Has anyone had any positive experience using rechargeable batteries with wireless mics?
In particular 9V as they are quite expensive.
I've tried metal halide in the past with poor results, but I'm wondering about lithium ion.
migrated from video.stackexchange.com Feb 21 '14 at 10:47
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
I use two rechargeable nickel metal hydride AA batteries with a wireless mic. They don't last as long as normal batteries, but I only need it run for two hours without recharging so it works well for me.
I've been having a very good experience with Lithium-Polymer 9V rechargeable batteries in my Sennheiser wireless lapel mic. I was able to buy two batteries and a charger for $50.
Had some bad luck with Shure mics. It may of been defective batteries, but the sound quality seemed not as boosted, and mic cut in/out ever 4-5 minutes. I talked to a more professional sound guy (who does some major setups), and he said not to do it. Just use real batteries.
Hopefully this helps!
The big trick is to find a good battery manufacturer that makes batteries that meet your needs. If you are using them regularly, you will want the highest mAH value you can find and won't actually care about discharge issues (which mostly have to do with having batteries sit unused). I don't have any direct experience with 9 volts unfortunately but have had very good luck with MAHA. We use their AAs in several wireless mics at my church and I use them in all my photography gear with great success.

Following a seven-year standoff with Harvard University, the Board of Selectmen unanimously voted on Wednesday evening to take the issue of purchasing the 62.5-acre Case Estates property, located at the intersection of Ash, Wellesley and Newton streets, to Superior Court.
"We are reluctant to sue" said Chairman Edward Coburn, "but are left with no other option."
In November 2006, Town Meeting voted to spend $22.5 million to purchase the Case Estates from Harvard for open space, municipal purposes and possibly residential use. The price was based on a potential of 31 house lots at that time.
Since then, extensive soil tests have been conducted, and the levels of contamination discovered required Harvard to notify the state.
The contaminants date back from when the land was used as an apple orchard in the early 1900s, and have been linked to various agricultural uses, pesticides and other chemicals used on the land, including DDT in the 1970s.
Residents voted for a new plan at annual Town Meeting in 2010, asking Harvard to proceed with a partial cleanup of the Case Estates that would have lowered the price tag by $3 million.
According to the selectmen, Harvard has since delivered an ultimatum that Weston can either purchase the property as is or not at all.
"We didn't think that was fair," said Harrity, explaining why the board voted to take legal action to compel Harvard to honor the 2010 agreement.
Harrity also explained that due to Harvard's "stonewalling," there are no options for mediation or other less drastic measures.
Not everyone present at the selectmen's meeting believes legal action to be the best course. Resident Isabella Jancourtz suggested former Selectman Harold Hestnes, an attorney with strong ties to Harvard, reopen negotiations, which have thus far been managed by Harrity.
Jancourtz is running for selectman in the upcoming Town Election on May 10, against Harrity as the incumbent.
When asked if the land is worth the risk of a costly loss in court, Coburn responded the board is following through on the will of the voters to acquire it.
"(The town's) investments made that land valuable," added Harrity. "If we don't go forward with this, they will sell it to a developer."
Coburn said the town's legal counsel, Kopelman and Paige, believe they have a strong case, making the risk acceptable.
While Town Meeting authorized spending $22.5 million to purchase Case Estates in 2006, Jancourtz said, "We voted for open space, not for a major lawsuit."

The Group Room® Cancer Talk Radio Show to Broadcast Special Taped Program on International High-Dose Chemotherapy Conference in Canada
Last Modified: July 2, 2002
LOS ANGELES--July 1, 2002--The Group Room--the nationally syndicated weekly radio call-in cancer talk show--will broadcast a special taped program from the "Second International Conference on High-Dose Chemotherapy: Innovation and Evolution," Sunday, July 7 from 4-6 pm ET (1-3 pm PT).
The conference, held this past spring in Banff, Alberta, Canada, dealt with recent clinical developments in the use of high-dose chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapeutics in treating cancer.
"This broadcast is an important opportunity to help patients clarify and understand the issues associated with bone-marrow and stem-cell transplantation, especially in light of the past controversy surrounding its use in advanced breast cancer," said Selma R. Schimmel, host of the radio show and CEO and Founder of Vital Options® International TeleSupport® Cancer Network, which produces the program in association with Premiere Radio Networks, the nation's largest radio network.
To further that understanding, Dr. Stefan Glück, President and Scientific Co-Chair of the conference, will call in to the live broadcast of The Group Room the following Sunday-July 14-to discuss with listeners some of the issues raised during the taped show. Glück is Professor, Oncology/Medicine/Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Calgary; and Leader, Clinical Research Program, Medical Oncology, Tom Baker Cancer Center, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
In addition to Schimmel and Glück, other panelists on the taped show include:
- Dr. Hans-Joachim Schmoll, Director, University Hospital for Internal Medicine IV, Hematology/Oncology, Martin Luther University, Halle, Germany; Chairman, German Association of Medical Oncology; President, Cancer Society of the German State of Saxsen-Anhalt; General Secretary, Vital Options International, Germany.
- Dr. Taner Demirer, Chairman, European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Solid Tumor Working Group; Professor of Medicine, Dept. of Hematology/Oncology, Ankara University School of Medicine, Turkey.

- Dr. Orlando Silva, Director, Breast Cancer Education; Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Miami (Fla.) Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
- Dr. Karen Gelmon, Medical Oncologist; Clinical Head, Advanced Therapy, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver B.C., Canada.
The Group Room reaches more than half-a-million radio listeners each Sunday throughout the United States as well as others worldwide who hear the show simulcast live over the Internet at www.vitaloptions.org. In the United States and Canada, callers join discussions by dialing 1-800-GRP-ROOM (1-800-477-7666); listeners overseas can call through special toll-free numbers listed on the Vital Options® website.
The Group Room features Schimmel and The Group Room's regular on-air medial experts--medical oncologist Dr. Michael Van Scoy-Mosher, radiation oncologist Dr. Leslie Botnick and therapist Halina Irving, MFCC--who are joined each week by callers affected by cancer as well as renowned cancer experts and advocates who provide updates on research, medical advances and advocacy efforts. All phone calls are screened by a licensed oncology social worker.
The Group Room regularly produces remote location broadcasts from the world's leading oncology meetings, such as the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and its European equivalents, ESMO/ECCO, and from preeminent cancer centers in the United States and Europe.
Founded in 1983 when Schimmel was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28, Vital Options was the first organization to address issues related to young adults with cancer before expanding to patients of all ages and issues related to everyone touched by cancer. In 2001, Vital Options was officially renamed Vital Options International to reflect its international expansion. During the week, individuals can reach Vital Options for support or to receive more information about cancer resources or stations carrying the broadcast.
In an effort to facilitate a global cancer dialogue, Vital Options is considered "everyone's best partner," and works collaboratively with other cancer organizations and groups in various cancer communication initiatives. In addition to The Group Room, other Vital Options projects include CancerTalk?, an in-flight audio program on American and Northwest airlines produced in association with Sky Radio; The Cancer NewsMinute?, a cancer news radio feature; and The Professor & The Survivor?, an international clinical trials awareness project.
Vital Options International is a not-for-profit cancer communications, support and advocacy organization headquartered in southern California. Vital Options and The Group Room are supported through educational grants from founding sponsor Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and corporate sponsors Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. and Pharmacia Oncology.
Ortho Biotech is the lead sponsor of Vital Options International's growth in Europe; Pharmacia Oncology is an associate sponsor.

When I use WiFi sync using my wireless router, is the data transfer completely in local network OR does it happen over the internet to iCloud or another service? Will the bandwidth used be deducted by my service provider?
If you iPhone talks to the internet while connected to WiFi, then yes, it costs your home internet bandwidth. If it talks to the internet outside of of WiFi range, it costs your mobile internet bandwidth.
Syncing your phone with iTunes does not use the internet, it only uses the local network. If your phone is configured to sync with iCloud, then it is using the internet.

Musical memories of Mr. Lange
The Jan. 17 passing of music virtuoso Michael Trentalange, or Mr. Lange to his students, is yet another tempus fugit marker for us baby boomers. Hundreds of Greater Waterbury parochial school students learned to play musical instruments from Lange Music Co. on East Main Street during the 1950s and '60s. Mickey Lange, his brother John (who owned the adjacent Trent Grocery store) and clarinetist Teddy DeCorso conducted the $1-per-half-hour sessions.
It was 1960, at St. Mary's School. I took clarinet lessons on Fridays at Lange Music, and my sixth-grade teacher, Sister Louise de Salles, noticed my clarinet case. Although I was just beginning to learn how to play the instrument, Sister Louise ordered me to play something for the class. I blew a few crude, primitive notes to snickering classmates. Adding insult to mortification, Sister Louise joked that it sounded like Scovill's factory whistle. The class broke up with laughter.

A criminal complaint has been filed by Hingham District Court against Rockland resident Kevin McGee, after a clerk hearing between McGee and town officials took place on June 30.
What that means is that the matter at hand will now be tried in an actual courtroom, according to Rockland Town Administrator Allan Chiocca.
"A summons will be issued for an arraignment (for McGee) sometime in the next couple of weeks," Chiocca said. "Court dates will then be determined."
The matter in question has to do with a complaint involving a resident who was allegedly selling cars illegally off his Union Street property, according to Chiocca.
He explained he and Town Attorney Robert Galvin took charges out against McGee of 511 Union St. in March.
"The issue is he's been selling cars without a license to do so," Chiocca said of McGee in a past interview.
In 2008 and 2009, McGee failed to receive a renewed Class 2 license to sell cars from selectmen.
Located in a residential zone, McGee has said he has a right to sell cars on his Union Street property because that right was grandfathered into his land.
While Chiocca said that grandfathering was once valid, it was deemed invalid after McGee failed to apply for a new license within two years.
McGee has said he has suffered years of mistreatment at the hands of town officials when it comes to his being able to get a license to sell cars.
"I didn't lose my license to sell cars," McGee said. "They took it from me."
In March, after the complaint was filed against McGee, Rockland Police Det. Sgt. Gregory Pigeon was dispatched to McGee's Union Street property to investigate whether cars were being sold.
In an incident report, Pigeon stated, "Attorney Galvin had viewed a website, www.columbiamotors.com, which contained a number of used cars for sale. Included in this website appeared to be a number of cars for sale at a lot owned by (McGee)…."
The report goes on to say that many cars were photographed by police on the lot in question, 14 of them to be exact.
"Any reasonable person would view this property and the website, www.bestbuycars.com and believe that (McGee) is in the business of selling used vehicles on this property," Pigeon stated in the report.
Pigeon states in the report that an undercover officer was also used last month during the investigation to see if McGee was selling cars.
"(The detective that met with McGee) that he was at the lot for over an hour and (McGee) was clearly attempting to sell him a vehicle," the report reads.
Page 2 of 2 - Chiocca stressed McGee has the option of operating at another location in town, just not the location in the residential area on Union Street.

Wheeling Hampton Inn owner Robert Hitchman passed out $1,000 checks to each of his 37 employees Tuesday after telling them the hotel at 795 National Road was determined best in the chain for customer service by corporate leaders.
The Hilton Corporation oversees more than 1,900 Hampton properties throughout the United States, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom and Germany. The company determines its customer service ratings through customer surveys and by the results of quarterly inspections it does at each property, Hitchman said.
The Hitchman family has been in the hotel business in Wheeling for nearly 70 years, and Robert Hitchman credited the top honor to both his family and the "hospitality professionals" who work for him.

Wheeling Hampton Inn owner Robert Hitchman, left, general manager Jennifer Tiano and Stephanie Hitchman celebrate the hotel's designation as having the best customer service ranking in the Hampton hotel chain.
"It's overwhelming," Hitchman said. "I'm unbelievably proud of my family's heritage in the hotel business in Wheeling - unbelievably proud."
Hitchman's father, Edward Thompson Hitchman II, opened the former Fort Henry Motor Inn in Elm Grove in the late 1940s. The family later built a Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant on its National Road property in 1958. That hotel was demolished more than 30 years later following completion of the current Hampton hotel facility in March 1989.
Robert Hitchman said he was nearly born at the Fort Henry Motor Inn - in room 12 - in July of 1951. After going into labor, his mother, Betty, awaited her vacationing doctor's return to Wheeling in that room. Hitchman would later be born at Ohio Valley Medical Center.
And Hitchman's father died eight years later.
"It broke my heart because he was the biggest person in my life," he said. "Since the time of his death, I've wanted to win for him. And the win is for our hospitality professionals. They are not employees. They are not associates. And the win is for my parents. And maybe someday, it will be a win for my children. I love Wheeling. I love the community. And I love sharing success with Wheeling, our hospitality professionals ... and most of all my family."
Hitchman said he told employees if the hotel ever finished among the top five among all Hampton Inns for customer service, he would give each hospitality professional there a $1,000 bonus. But after learning they had finished first in the company, he decided he needed to do more and also pay the taxes for them on the bonus.
Jennifer Tiano, general manager for the Wheeling Hampton Inn, and employee Jack Poling will travel to Orlando the first week of April to accept the hotel's award during a general manager's conference there. Poling said customers service always comes through as the hotel's greatest asset on any travel survey.
"It's not our aquatic center or our gardens that people comment on the most," he said. "They say they feel like family here, and that the employees go all out for the people."
Office manager Trish Funkhouser said the employees have worked hard to gain the hotel's recognition for customer service.
"And they've worked hard for the owner to get this," she said.

Let $u\in C^2(\Omega)$ be such that $\Delta u \ge 0$ on $\Omega\supset \overline{B(a,r)}$. We consider the Poisson modification $U$ of $u$ for the ball $B(a,r),$ that is $U$ equals $u$ on $\Omega-B(a,r)$ and that on $B=B(a,r)$ equals the solution to Direchlet problem with boundary data $u|_{\partial B}$, which is given by the Poisson kernel classically denoted by $P(x,y)$. It is known that $U$ is subharmonic in the sense that it verifies an inequality mean property. My question is : Do we have $U\in H^2(\Omega)?$.
Note that in your assumption $u$ itself need not be in $H^2(\Omega)$, nor even $L^2(\Omega)$, even if it is harmonic (so $u=U$). You are possibly interested on the local behaviour, that is whether $U\in H^2_{loc}$. But note that for $n=1$ any smooth, convex function is subharmonic; the function $U$ is affine on $(a-r,a+r)$, and in general not in $C^1$ (unless $u$ was already harmonic ), hence not $H^2_{loc}$. However, I think in your assumptions it is true that $U\in H^1_{loc}$.
Subharmonicity of this modification is true and easy to prove just from the definition of a subharmonic function. Condition $C^2$ is redundant. Of course the modification will not be in $C^2$. Now what is $H(\Omega)$ ?

Wow. Great find. Thanks for posting.
Adobe has yanked it. Two and a half hours later. Either that or the site is EXTREMELY busy...
Hm. Broken ("Temporarily Unavailable") link.
It's working for me, but it took a few refreshes and some patience.
All files are d/l but it's slow.
Yes but is it really free or some sort of trial version?
It's working, their site is just getting hammered.
Sad if this deal is relegated to the DW "free zone"
Even if you can't get the software now, get the serials at a minimum.
Anybody have a link from Adobe saying these are able to be legally used by people who didn't purchase them originally?
The activation servers were shut down for the original versions (which required you to activate your license on a Adobe server)... These end-of-life downloads don't require the server activation. My guess is that Adobe is providing these for people who still use/want to install their legally purchased, but very old software.
I'd be thrilled if Adobe decided that they'd give away their old product and grant use licenses to anyone who wanted it, but I'm skeptical.
I have this version on Disk from about 6 years ago. Great product but you have to remember it was made to run with XP and there have been a TON of improvements in the latest versions. These suites are really expensive but again, its 4 major releases old. Most of what you need in photoshop can be done in elements for a small price.
Still going. Won't work on Intel Macs (without old OSX and Rosetta) and might be hard to get working on 64-bit Windows 7. But still a great deal.
@speedster00: I'd recommend real Photoshop over Photoshop Elements any day. Even 4 versions old. In fact, especially 4 versions old. CS2 runs a lot faster on a computer than Elements. Something about the Elements interface is really slow - and for the experienced person, it's a pain to get around in.
Ok, got premier pro. NEED S# to install it. So this is a wash.
@garyoa1: Serial numbers are here:
Lets see if DW mangles the link...You need to log in with an Adobe ID (free)
@whytcolr: My guess is that they made it free at EOL. Otherwise, they wouldn't be providing a serial number instead of telling you it will work with no activation on the serial number you already have.
I am downloading now. The Windows download total 1956 MB, so maybe the traffic is pulling their network down.
It's a marketing thing. What better way to find potential customers than by having them sign up and provide contact info to throw juicy offers to.
This is nice since I'm still running XP here at work, and always wanted to give CS a go. I've always used Elements editor, but not the organizer. That's where the lag on it is.
Yup. Missed those serials. Seems to work fine.
I'm having trouble installing once I get to the second disk. I followed the instructions and the files were extracted before I began the install, but I don't know how to get the installer to pick up those files. Has anyone got this working?
Pardon my ignorance re: Adobe, but I have just downloaded CS2, should I also download CS2 versions of illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, etc., or are they included in the first download?
@richurm: If you downloaded the first link, all of the CS2 programs are included within that, so no, you do not have to download the others.
P.S. works fine on Windows 7 64bit.
@omnichad: The old serial numbers are tied to the server activation, hence the need for a new serial number.
I have no doubt that downloading and installing will work just fine. I'm just wondering about the legality of such a configuration. (In most personal instances, that's not going to matter, but if someone wants to install this in a business, such a thing could get that company in hot water...)
Which is why it seems odd to me that I can't find an Adobe announcement about this.
@tp546: It seems that you have to point the extractions for disks 2 and 3 to a specific folder when you run the downloaded files to make sure they go to the right place. I had to manually browse to the same folder I did Disk 1 to, as it tried to do a different folder. Not sure why they didn't test this more. But after making sure all the files went into C:\Creative Suite CS2\ everything was fine. Everything should be inside a subfolder called "Adobe Creative Suite 2.0" except for 2 PDF files and 2 HTML files. If they're not, drag them inside that folder.
@omnichad: I just tried that but no luck.
The Standard Edition included:
Adobe Bridge (Since CS2)
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Version Cue
Design guide and training resources
Some of the other software would be beneficial.
@tp546: What happens when you run the installer? What subfolders do you have under C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0\"?
Are you running setup.exe from that folder? I right-clicked on setup.exe and went to properties. On the compatibility tab, I set it to XP SP3 compatibility mode and to run as administrator.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit. What are you running?
It's working for me right now. Not sure if I'll need them all, but I'll archive what I don't want for later.
@omnichad: It tells me to insert Disc 2 and I hit OK and it comes back up again. Subfolders I have are "Adobe Creative Suite 2.0", "Adobe InDesign CS2", and "Adobe Version Cue CS2". I'm thinking I need to take everything from the Suite folder and move it down a level and see if that works.
@omnichad: no luck but when I moved everything into the "Adobe Creative Suite 2.0" folder, it seemed to pick up disc 2.
@tp546: Yeah - I think you only got disc 1 in the right place. There should be 11 subfolders and one for Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Bridge included among those.
Yeah, to install you need everything in one folder. The installation will create the correct folders.
I get:
"Site Area Temporarily Unavailable
We're sorry, the site area you've requested is unavailable. Please try again later. "
Hopefully it is a temporary issue.
can anyone post the serial for cs2 windows? i closed the tab and now that page is down.
btw I had the same disc 2 issue. I uninstalled and am now reinstalling making sure everything is in the same folder. From the posts seems like this should work.
[Edit] Serial numbers removed [/Edit]
@omnichad: Thanks much!
geesh, been trying for half an hour now, site is still unavailable. It will probably only get worse as the day goes on
I hate to be "that guy" but I actually chatted with Adobe support...
These files are for use if you own CS2 and have an error trying to install the software. The support rep was not able to answer why everyone has access to these files/keys, but escalated my question to someone who will get back to me via e-mail in 2-3 business days. (I'd link the chat transcript, but it goes over the 1000 character limit.)
This is probably only important to people who are considering using this in a business environment, though, since personal use is basically impossible to audit. Corporate use, though, can be audited and the business can face significant fines. At any rate, be aware that, even though this works, it's not a really legitimate free license to use these products.
@whytcolr: The first thing you dont do is call support. Now that you alerted them to the issue. They will fix it by removing the keys and the software.
Looks like Forbes have linked to this download via their "Tech For The Rest of Us" blog. No wonder the servers are getting hammered.
The Forbes piece gives this an air of legitimacy, as they don't generally promote piracy. It makes me wonder if the support person had their facts straight.
Did not work 7-Jan-13
We're sorry, the site area you've requested is unavailable. Please try again later.
In the interim, many areas of our website are still available. You may want to try one of the following links:
Adobe.com Home
Support & Training
Download the Flash Player
Contact Us
Thank you for your patience.
@bgraeme: Last I knew that came up after a LONG delay. As in, what you posted is the error message when a page isn't working. Once the server calms down, that might change.
@maineman99: That's just a blogger blogging the hottest thing going this morning.
SlickDeals has wikified the whole thing
Direct Downloads still work according to several posters.
I'm getting the same unavailable error. Does anyone know if it's completely unavailable, or if this is one of those "keep hitting refresh until you get in" things? ;)
@maineman99: Im sure the Forbes writer found this deal on WOOT as well.
Finally got to download page, had to try a number of times...
@mzkhadir: Yep. Gone.
It definitely seems to be dead now, can't get through no matter how many times I try.
@nachokingp: @videogrinch:
Now that the entire US is awake, I'm guessing it's more DDOS than Adobe yanking the deal.

Other triggers include injury to the skin, including cuts, burns, and insect bites, certain malarial and heart medications, stress, sunburn, and excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms, ranging from at-home over the counter remedies to medicines that suppress the body's immune system to sunlight and phototherapy.[1]Guttate psoriasis is a skin condition in which small, red, and scaly teardrop-shaped spots appear on the arms, legs, and middle of the body.

Are there famous games written in .Net and/or XNA?
closed as not constructive by Josh Petrie♦, Tetrad♦ Dec 14 '11 at 17:52
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Schizoid is a pretty successful XBLA game. Does that count? (not really, but its the best I could find)
I think what you mean is are there any AAA-scale games made using XNA and/or XNA GS. To that, the answer is no. The games industry has been very slow move past C/C++ as the gold standard. This isn't for no reason, most AAA games would rather trade all the nice syntax and runtime support for an extra 5FPS and 50MB less RAM usage since both of those directly translate to units sold. Granted there is argument for lower development costs and faster cycles, but thats a hard calculus to use in this industry.
Terraria. It sold 200,000 copies in the first week of release on Steam. It's been in the Steam top 10 sellers list since. I'd say that makes it a popular XNA game.
Magicka is a new one. I played a bit of the demo and it seems pretty good.
It depends on your definition of "famous" :)
Bastion. It just won 3 Spike Video Game Awards a couple days ago (not to mention all the other ones it already had - check link).
This thread on the XNA forum has a list of commercial games:
List Of Commercial Games Made With XNA
I'm not sure how many games are 'famous' but it includes some arcade titles like:
The Dishwasher was made in XNA, as was Flotilla.
Lucidity by Lucas Arts was also written in XNA. Blueberry Garden on Steam, while an indie title, was also written using XNA.
Also, take into account that while not full games, parts of important AAA games have been written in .NET. Supreme Commander used it for it's multiplayer part and Neverwinter Nights Aurora editor was written in .NET.
Received a ton of media buzz, including
Funcom's (of Age of Conan/Anarchy Online fame) new game Bloodline Champions is written in XNA. It's currently in closed beta, but they have been quite generous with the beta keys.
What about Infiniminer ?
Infiniminer is a voxel based construction sandbox game written in C# using XNA.
It is officially recognised as the ancestor of Minecraft.
Weapon of Choice
Weapon of Choice is an Indie game from Mommy's Best Games. The game is written in C#/XNA. Gamasutra has a great post-mortem where the developer discusses using C# to write a game (he had been using C/C++ prior to going independent).
I don't know if it's considered famous but it did win some awards.
Plain Site had a lot of buzz when it first appeared:
One of my favorite simulators, Auran's Trainz is written primarily in .NET.
While not technically .Net, many games made with Unity3D. EA has recently decided to use Unity3D for many of thier new games. The Unity3D engine uses Mono (an open source implementation of .Net) as it's scripting engine. Due to runtime optimizations, script performance as high as 120% native code speeds can be achieved.
For lower end platforms such as consoles (which IMHO makes them unsuitable for hardcore gamers), Mono and by extension Unity supports FULL AOT compilation. This allows games made in a Managed language to run on platforms that do not allow JIT.
As Unity's rendering engine and core components are programmed in C++, you easily break the 60FPS mark as long as you don't do stupid stuff that would ruin the FPS in C++ games as well. Don't iterate through a huge list every frame. Avoid using division, multiplying by 0.5 is 10 times faster than dividing by 2. Don't read from files every frame, cache the data as you need it. Don't run any more code every frame then you need, stick much of your code in methods that are only called when they are needed.

BELTON (January 29, 2013) --- Construction efforts moved forward Thursday on the new Goodwill store that's set to open in Belton this summer.
Christina Taylor with the Heart of Texas Goodwill Industries said the new store will be a 23,000-square-foot facility at the corner of Sparta Road and Commerce Drive in Belton.
"We are always looking to expand our services in the communities of our assigned area and we've been looking at Belton for a few years and have finally found the right location," Taylor said.
The facility will have a production center, learning center and a retail store and could provide close to 25 jobs to people in the area.
Texas Goodwill Industries currently serves seven cities in the Central Texas area with 13 stores.
Officials estimated the project to cost close to $2.7 million.
Construction on the facility broke ground at the end of 2012 and officials are hoping to open the store for business by summer 2013.

[0.7.10] date field are not (correctly) handled
Versions: 0.7.10 (and 0.7.8) with Sencha Touch 2.1.1
Browser: Chrome 24 (Win8 / Desktop)
Severity: critical (data corruption)
Using 'syncstorage' proxy in store, it seems that date field value are not correctly sent to the remote server when synchronizing new records (date for updated records are not sync at all, but I will open a new ticket for this case). When re-importing remote data in "empty" local storage (e.g. after a first login on a new device), date values for imported records are invalids (empty objects {}). So I supposed that date data are definitively lost.
Test case (I modified the 'examples/touch/todo' example for this test case)
MyApp.model.Todo line 29 (changed the 'timestamp' field type to DATE)
PHP Code:
name: 'timestamp',
type: 'date'
PHP Code:
record.set("completed", (completed == 1));
record.set("timestamp", new Date());
PHP Code:
itemTpl: [
'
{task}-{timestamp}
'
DEBUG: Transport.send { "service":"SyncRpcService", "from":"device-**********", "msg":{ "method":"putUpdates", "args":[{ "dd":{"userId":"**********", "databaseName":"todos", "generation":"0", "version":2}, "rd":{"deviceId":"device-***********","replicaId":"b6"}, "csv":"b1-66754329-5.b3-67258192.b6-67444510-5", "updates":"[ [\"b6-67444510\",\"_oid\",\"b6-67444510\",\"b6-67444510\"], [\"task\",\"test2\",\"b6-67444510-1\"], [\"details\",\"test2\",\"b6-67444510-2\"], [\"completed\",false,\"b6-67444510-3\"], [\"timestamp\",{},\"b6-67444510-4\"], [\"id\",\"b6-67444510\",\"b6-67444510-5\"] ]" }], "corr-id":6 }, [...] }
- Login again and wait for sync: the list item will show title-[object Object]. Based on the SIO debug log, imported value for timestamp is {}:

Thank you for the detailed test case to re-produce. We are investigating and will get back to you as soon as we know more.
19 Feb 2013 9:17 AM #3
As a general practice we have avoided using the date field type. Instead storing the date as either a number:
We would recommend that you modify your code and not use the date field type with sync stores while we work on a better support for that field type.
In the examples we provide (todo and shared data sync) we use date.getTime() so that the values can be sorted relative to one another. If your timestamp is for display purposes only then you can either convert the number into a date object then format it or you can simply store the date as a pre-formatted string.
19 Feb 2013 11:01 AM #4
Hi Jason,
Thanks for your advises (can't find where in documentation you warn about not using date field?). I finished my app (JDI for the HTML5 contest) so I don't look for an alternative solution, I just want to share my experience with Sencha IO and help you to enhance it.
I started my project without SIO and use a local store. All my code was based on date manipulation and display (and it worked fine). When switching to SIO, I tried to use integer or string to deal with SIO limitations, but (after many hours of debug) I had to heavily hack my model and fix some of your code to get this to work.
I needed support for null date, not sure that integer field can support null with SIO and did not want to have this special case: if (field == 0) means null. Using string seems OK, but there was the sorting issue (my field should be sorted as date). To workaround this, I defined my own Ext.data.Types (based on the string one):
PHP Code:
Ext.data.Types.DATETIME = {
convert: function(value) {
return (value === undefined || value === null)
? (this.getAllowNull() ? null : '')
: String(value);
sortType: Ext.data.SortTypes.asDate,
type: 'datetime'
So yes, I know that date are not totally supported in SIO and that it's preferable to not use it. But I think that you should fix this and transparently support date (and null date). Now, I still have two other date related bugs to report, are you interested in it?
19 Feb 2013 11:43 AM #5
Again thank you for your detailed feedback. We are working on a more robust fix for the date issue.
We don't cover the date issue in the documentation. I'll add it in the next release; assuming we don't fix the issue and provide full support for dates in sync stores.

1968 Ford Ranchero - Raunchy RedoWritten by David Freiburger on May 2, 2012 Contributors: The Hot Rod Staff The Road Trip Is Over. Here's a Look Back at the Buildup of Our '68 Ranchero
"That car just looks like a boatload of fun . . . not afraid to take it anywhere and thoroughly abuse it in the process!" - Reader Jesse Talmage
We don't know what it takes to drive from California to Alaska in December behind the wheel of a '68 Ford Ranchero. If you read the story about our latest road trip ("Alaska Colorado Arizona Death Trip," Apr. '12), you saw that we planned to drive this car to an ice race in Big Lake, Alaska, but ended up on a trek from California to snowy Idaho, to freezing Colorado, onto balmy New Mexico, through rainy Arizona, and back home again. The fiasco took us 3,000-plus miles through snowstorms, across a river, and through the naked desert after thrashing for a week to build the car. Last month, we covered the adventure. This time, the dirty details of our Ak Miller/Ray Brock HOT ROD Spl. clone.
Back in November 1967, Miller and Brock campaigned a lightly prepped '68 Ranchero GT in the Mexican 1,000 Rally, the off-road-racing precursor to the Baja 1,000. The duo won their class with a virtually stock Ranchero with a 390 and a four-speed, and outfitted with oversize tires, driving lights, and a few small suspension mods that included limit straps for the rear shackles. The 1,000 was more of a dirt-road rally back then instead of today's jumps-silt-rocks-ditches torture test, but the win was still impressive. We've lusted over that long-gone project car for years, and this road trip was the perfect excuse to buy an old Ranchero and fix her up like that historic racer.
So we did. In a week. We replaced the engine and trans, rebuilt the rear axle and suspension, rewired, replumbed and rejuvenated almost the entire car. Oh, and we had the car striped and lettered because our schedule wasn't hectic enough as it was. It worked! Here's the lowdown on the RAUNCHero. Raunchy for short.
Prep for the FreezeMost guys don't drive 44-year-old muscle cars in subzero weather. That's what we planned for, though the lowest temp we saw during our trip was 1 degree F. Yeah, 1. So we really didn't need overkill prep, but here are some of the things we did in anticipation of winter adventure in the boondocks of Canada and Alaska.
- Yellow lenses on our IPF foglights and off-road lights really helped vision in the snow.
- Every hole in the floors was filled to prevent water and cold from entering the cab.
- New weatherstripping and door seals
- Many layers of Dynamat Extreme and Dynaliner for insulation
- Kat's electric heaters for the battery, oil and trans pans, and water jackets (the latter of which was a mess).
- A killer charging system with a Powermaster 100-amp alternator and Odyssey battery.
- ExtremeWinterContact tires for the ice and Grabber AP studded all-terrains in case things got worse.
- In true subzero weather, we would have needed some kind of hot air to the carb to keep it from freezing up.
- We packed some Heet to prevent moisture in the gas from freezing.
- We carried extraction equipment, such as a tow strap and a shovel.
- The cab was loaded with warm gear, candles, hot packs, and water in case we got stranded.

This is what a $1,300 '68 Ranchero looks like when purchased in SoCal via Craigslist. The 302-powered car had been for sale for a long time, likely because of the massive DMV fees levied against it due to a long-expired registration. It was reasonably straight, came with a spare GT grille, and was the correct Wimbledon White color of the original HOT ROD Special.The carbureted 302 had a serpentine accessory drive. We pegged it as a mid-'80s Mustang engine backed by an FMX automatic trans. Neither unit functioned very well. The day we picked up the Raunchero was also the day the drivetrain and exhaust were ripped out and pushed into the corner of the shop. We're eyeballing a roadster project as a potential home for the Raunchy powerplant.The new engine is a Dart 363 based on the 302 Ford but with a larger 4.125 bore and longer 3.400 stroke. Dart 195 heads and dished pistons equal 9.26:1 compression. We ran the engine with a Comp Cams NX282 hydraulic roller cam, and the engine made 470 hp with an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake and a 750 Holley double pumper. Our thermal barrier-coated Hedman Elite Ultra-Duty street headers weren't built for the raised-port heads or the massive bellhousing of our Gearstar C4 trans. We had to notch the bell and grind the block a bit to bolt them up.This angle gives you an idea how much material was removed to fit the 3-inch collectors and 15⁄8-inch primary tubes.Desperate times call for desperate measures. We needed a trans that would bolt right up to the 363 and handle any abuse we dished out during our road trip and eventual racing events (with even more power, see page 80). A mass-produced unit wouldn't do, and since we had an incredibly brief timetable, we needed a builder with the manpower to make it happen now. Gearstar Performance didn't flinch when we spec'd a C4 capable of handling 750 hp, 700 lb-ft of torque, and overnight delivery.Our 11-inch, fully welded converter is a billet part. It's computer balanced, stalling at 2,700 rpm with 2.80:1 gears in the rear and 27-inch-tall tires. It's surrounded by an SFI-approved, heavy-duty aluminum Ultra-Bell housing that is certified for NHRA or off-road racing and will keep our toes intact should we find a way to grenade the tranny.We've learned to prefit headers and starters before dropping the engine into any car, especially during a swap. In addition to a Lokar dipstick and a trans cooler, Gearstar included a new, laser-cut mid-plate to bolt between the C4 and engine block; it's a handy universal plate that can handle either of the starter offsets used on the small Fords. For our application, this knockout had to be removed from the mid-plate. We used a Powermaster XS Torque gear-reduction starter.The company's Level IV C4 trans is handbuilt by a master tech and dyno-tested in-house with the converter in place for the equivalent of 100 road miles. The internals, including the six-pinion planetary gearset, are all hardened and stress-relieved, and billet parts are used throughout. The valvebody is a custom piece that allows up and down shifts at any speed, and it also has compression braking. The input shaft and forward drum are 300M material, and the bands are made from Kevlar and are carbon fiber for this application. A high-output pump and max-capacity ribbed pan are part of the package, too. It's a stout piece that we enjoyed torturing in the snow and dirt and while towing.
We spent two full days repairing rust in the cab while waiting for a few small items that prevented us from installing the new engine. Meanwhile, Car Craft staffer John McGann prepped the hood and front fenders before spraying satin-black Rust-Oleum from Home Depot on the parts (in our parking lot in the dark around midnight). He pulled a similar feat when we needed to paint the hood of the Crusher Camaro a while back.Jesse Kiser drove all over Los Angeles and Orange County trying to find new bushings for the worn-out leaf springs. The bushings were so bad that the shackles had flipped forward and were stuck against the framerails when we bought the car. Deaver Suspension came to the rescue with new bushings and center pins. Problem solved!In addition to installing a Summit Racing universal heater kit, we lined the entire cab in Dynamat products. The floor received a layer of Dynamat Extreme, plus 1⁄2-inch-thick Dynaliner, which did a great job of insulating our feet from the sheetmetal.Painter Jeff Styles used a combination of stencils and a steady hand to replicate the original HOT ROD Spl. livery. He worked his magic between the suspension and engine installation. Actually, he lettered the Ford while we took a break to have a donut-eating contest between HR staffer Brandan Gillogly and Super Chevy Tech Editor Calin Head.Aside from a leaking rear seal, the only real hiccup with the engine swap was lining up the lower pulley with the alternator and water pump pulleys.We fired the engine a few hours before we hit the road using a Holley mechanical fuel pump and an MSD Ready-to-Run distributor that requires no external ignition box. We opted for an Odyssey 1500DT AGM battery to ensure our off-road lights, fog lights, cell phone chargers, battery heater, engine block heater, oil pan heater, and every other accessory on the car had adequate power. And we tested the 135-minute reserve capacity when we coasted more than 30 miles down a mountain with the lights on and without a spinning alternator. This is one hell of a battery.We went with Continental ExtremeWinterContact rubber for the icy conditions we anticipated. The tread blocks are staggered farther apart than a regular all-season tire to help clear snow and ice from in between the lugs, the rubber is softer, and each block has multiple sipes for added grip. The tires on the right are 27x7.50-14 General Grabber AT2 all-terrains, which are designed for snow studs. Those are mounted on a used set of 14-inch slotted mags. We spent 58 bucks to have all four tires studded at a neighborhood tire shop in Utah.How well does the car work? Well, the gears and cam are wrong. It cruises at 80 mph effortlessly at about 3,000 rpm but is pretty weak in the acceleration department because the engine really doesn't start making steam until 3,500 rpm. Aside from that, it rides great, motors through snow like it was born to, and, amazingly, the tires are super-grippy in the dirt. Ignoring the teething problems from a rush-job installation, the Raunchero is well suited to long trips, off-road excursions, sliding around fire roads, and the occasional snowstorm. We have delusions of entering a few rally-cross events if time permits. We'll see. HRM

I'm a new DM running my first adventure in D&D 4e. I've heard of the "three clue rule", that there should be at least three independent pointers to any plot element you want the PCs to take note of, in places where it's likely the PCs will find them. This seems to be mostly working. The PCs are good about recognizing a clue as a clue when they find it. However, the problem is that when the PCs have extremely short memories, and often forget they're carrying around a crucial piece of evidence, even when I have NPCs ask them what proof they have of their assertions.
I'm at a loss for what to do here. Should I punish them ("Your words are worthless, maybe a stay in the dungeons will teach you not to make false accusations"), ignore their lapse ("I'll believe you...this time"), or what?
Similarly, they completely forget about minor quests ("return the stolen cask of ale") that NPCs have given them, even when NPCs remind them about it. I was counting on them completing the quest in order to give them a reward (namely, better weapons). Should I withhold the reward or just give it to them anyway?

500 Miles Later, the Pole Is Irrelevant
Danica Patrick will start from the pole in Sunday's Daytona 500 (Fox, 12 p.m. ET). Patrick, who is still looking for her first win in Nascar, earned the top spot after recording the fastest lap time during qualifying last weekend.
But despite starting at the front of the pack, it's unlikely she will finish at the front of the pack. Since 2001, the track record for drivers starting in front in the Daytona 500 has been pretty spotty. The last driver to earn the Daytona 500 pole and take the checkered flag was Dale Jarrett in 2000. Since then, no pole winner has finished better than fifth and collectively they have averaged a finish of 16th. Drivers starting in the second position—where Jeff Gordon will be on Sunday—haven't done much better. No winner has come from that spot since Jarrett did so in 1993.
Starting position doesn't seem to matter a whole lot in the 43-car field. Matt Kenseth weaved up from the 39th position to win in 2009, while Kevin Harvick started in 34th before taking the 2007 trophy. Since 2000, Daytona 500 winners had an average starting position of 15th.
But starting in the front hasn't been entirely unlucky for drivers in recent years. In 2004, Greg Biffle won the pole but switched engines the day before the race, sending him to the back of the starting field. Dale Earnhardt Jr. moved to top position and won the race.
Despite having the pole, Patrick remains far from the favorite to win. Online sports book Bovada put the odds of Patrick winning Nascar's most prestigious race at 15-1, while Patrick's teammate Tony Stewart is the bookmaker's choice at 6-1.

What are the best resources (i.e. tutorials, video keynotes, blog posts, etc) that best assist graphic designers understand the paradigm of website design? As a web designer, I'm really interested in having my sister (a graphic designer) working with me. How to best explain her how to design for the screen, with practical and easy-to-learn resources (i.e. how to build website layouts for the web) without having to spend time with books?
I'm a former print designer who happily made the transition to web design. Your sister already has a great head start; the same concepts of hierarchy, grid systems, and typography translate wonderfully from print to Web, so she won't have to relearn those.
To begin her journey as a Web designer, I'd recommend that she should:
Learn the differences
Learn basic HTML/CSS
Learn to use FTP
Learn to build a simple site from scratch
Learn from you
I was a graphic designer first then after three years i am now a web developer. When i was migrating i started with first website layout design in photoshop. Sites helped me a lot was from tutsplus network. As i am new here so i cant give too much link. But i think you should checkout the psd.tutsplus.com site. They have some good psd web interface design tutorials from industry leader web artists. Here is one of my all time favorites.
Also try her signup for deviantart (if she not yet). I think every designer should join this community too. There are lots of web interface design groups they all are mainly graphic designer.
It is good thing you have a sister to work with you. I wish i had one!! :)

The Ford Fiesta has been around for so long now that most of you will probably have driven one at some time. As such, you'll probably be expecting...
What we say:
The best is better: prettier, more able and much more fuel-efficient. Best in class, one of the best full stop
What is it?
As the nation's best selling car month after month, you wouldn't have the pretty Fiesta down as desperately needing a facelift. Ford wants to make sure it stays there, though. With competition hotting up across the sector, it last year decided to take action, with a comprehensively revised Fiesta.
The most obvious change is the Aston Martin-style grille. This is Ford's new corporate face and, with some fresh new colours for the Fiesta range, makes an already-stylish supermini even more appealing. The rest of it hasn't changed much but it didn't need to. There are some much-needed enhancements inside too, but the key tech change is the introduction of Ford's superb 1.0-litre Ecoboost engine. This replaces the thrashy old 1.4 and will be a key part of the car's draw.
The Fiesta's greatest asset is its preternatural ability on the move and Ford has simply enhanced this further in the latest car. It's even crisper on turn-in, the responsiveness of the chassis has been enhanced yet further and the steering has even more feedback. It could handle a lot more power: the ST delivers it. See page 80 for more on that peach of a range-topper…
For now, it's the blissful combination with those sweet, torquey Ecoboost engines that impress us the most. Yes, you can have a diesel if you must, or save money with the aged old 1.25, but beg, borrow or steal your way into an Ecoboost because this is where the sweet spot of the range is. Ford's even retuned the springs and dampers to account for its much lighter weight, so it doesn't only handle better but rides more smoothly too. Remarkable.
On the inside
The Fiesta is reasonably spacious front and back (but note, there are rivals with more space) and exudes an air of maturity and quality that you'd expect from the next class up. Importantly, Ford has also righted a wrong here, and made sat nav available on most models in the range. It was lacking before and was a barrier to those who were downsizing from bigger cars.
Fresh, brighter trims make it seem more upmarket and Ford has also worked on refinement, meaning there's less road noise permeating the cabin at speed. The Ecoboost even sounds good.
The Fiesta is still not the cheapest supermini, but it is now better value for money (six airbags and ESP are now standard on all but base Studio). The Ecoboost engines are real fuel-sippers (the 1.0T 100 is an amazing 17mpg more fuelefficient than the old 1.4 96) and most of the range is now sub-100g/ km CO2. Reliability has proven to be first-rate.

Yen D. Chu '97
Stylish Pursuits
Yen D. Chu '97 readily admits that she felt a bit out of place during her first days as corporate and global compliance counsel for the luxury fashion brand Ralph Lauren.
"I'm sure everyone looked at me thinking, 'Ugh, the suit is here,'" Chu recalls, adding that she quickly modified her standard corporate business attire with more fashionable options. "When you work for a company like this, you have to really understand your business," she explains. "You have to adjust and work to build credibility."
Fortunately, Chu, a native of Vietnam, is no stranger to adapting, even in the toughest of situations. At the end of the Vietnam War, she and her family fled their homeland by boat, floating at sea for days before being rescued by the Philippine Coast Guard. A young girl at the time, Chu sought refuge with her mother and father through a church in Minnesota and eventually settled there. The experience, she says, has always motivated her to overcome obstacles and learn from each challenge.
Now, 38 years after leaving Vietnam, Chu says she regularly calls on these abilities in her work as an in-house counsel at Ralph Lauren. Not only does she manage the company's governance and compliance—including federal securities regulations, anti-bribery, and international trade—she also provides advice to its senior management (including Ralph Lauren himself) and its board of directors. Chu also advises the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation, a private nonprofit organization.
"You are expected to connect the dots and understand the different pieces of the company," Chu says. "You live with [the brand] from day to day, and as the company evolves and the law evolves, you have to keep both on a parallel track."

Crimen sollicitationis a 1962 document by the Catholic Church describing how various matters should be handled by Church law. I have heard differing claims from various people as to whether the penalty of excommunication applied to a victim reporting their case to the civil authorities. Can anyone confirm how this document was applied?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Did Crimen sollicitationis threaten excommunication for victims reporting crimes to the civil authorities?
I've never heard of instruction before you brought up the question, but I figured I'd better actually read a bit of it before making a judgement. Because I am a Catholic, I always know the Church is teaching the right thing even if it is misunderstood or poorly applied. Here it is, by the way, so you can read for yourself and find out what's not in there.
So, one is excommunicated if they don't report the crime to church authorities
However, a little farther down you might read:
And think, that if someone reported the same crime to the police that they reported to the church that they would incur excommunication. But, why on earth would someone report the crime to both places? Nothing in the document says that it is a crime for the laity to report a crime to the police. However, in the time of this writing sexual harassment and a whole host of other perversions were not dealt with by the police the way they do now, so this may have been the only recourse some people had (and this is a global document and a translation of one at that) so it may have greater weight in more Catholic countries than the USA and Australia.
But, as for implementation, the National Catholic Register has a good interview with priest who says:
So, there it is, it's never been understood as a ban on denouncing crimes.
First, I want to say that most of the abuse did not start coming to light until the mid 1980's, and that the 1983 Code of Canon Law has language that removes the teeth from that document (in 1983, all previous canon laws end extra-canon penal definitions were made void).
You can find the text of the document at Vatican.va, but I found the supplemental documents in a PDF from CBS.
The TLDR; version is that there is little in the document which actually refers to layman. The only way one can be excommunicated is:

Historically, when did the Ashkenazi custom to bake matza on erev Pesach afternoon start? I am specifically interested in when this custom arose, rather than the reasons/opions pro/against.

Sefer HaToda'ah (Translated in English as "The Book of Our Heritage"), says that this custom originates in the Talmud Yerushamli, and is brought by many of the early codifiers.
The reason given is that the Torah connected the Korban Pesach to the Matzah. Since the Korban Pesach must be slaughtered after midday, so too must the Matzah used at the Seder be baked after midday.
These Matzot are called "Matzot Mitzvah".
Regarding baking Matzos on Erev Pesach there are those that do it and those who do not. Those who do it - rely on Orach Chaim 458, Leket Yosher 79, Magen Avrohom, Sidur Yaavetz, Pri Megadim, Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Yalkot MaiAm Loez.
However there are those that do not bake after Chatzos due to the fact that it may become Chometz and at that time a person is not supposed to have any Chometz any more. Mishna Berura, Gra.
