I have heard the question over and over again why Weirton Madonna graduate Connor Arlia decided to be a preferred walk-on at West Virginia University, rather than take his football talents to other schools that were recruiting him.
Because he can.
It's really that simple.
The young man wants to compete at the highest level. He wants to challenge himself. He wants to push himself. He wants to play football on the collegiate level and why not at a Division I program that is annually in the top 25?
He fits what new head coach Dana Holgorsen wants to do offensively.
Does that mean he's going to suit up and see time?
But, I like his chances in the future.
Arlia was also given an early invitation to camp after his brilliant performance in the North-South all-star game recently at the University of Charleston's Laidley Field.
It doesn't matter than he has come from a West Virginia Class A school.
It doesn't matter than he is smaller that most of the players surrounding him.
It matters what's inside and that is a whole lot of heart, work ethic, talent and faith in God.
This is obviously a kid who is not afraid to fail.
This is not to say anything of other players who choose different football avenues.
All young men must do what they think is in their best interest when choosing to play college football.
He just had a really good first week of practice and now needs to do better this week.
Not going to those other schools does not mean Arlia thought he was better than their programs.
It just means they weren't WVU.
I took my son to watch the Blue Dons in the West Virginia Class A state championship basketball game in March. As I was taking my seat along press row during warm-ups, Arlia saw me, sprinted over and shook my hand.
When we see each other or talk on the phone, he always asks about my son.
"If there's ever anything I can do for him, please let me know," he has said on more than one occasion.
This is not coming from a young man trying to suck up so he can get in the newspaper. In fact, I would venture a guess he would rather not have me print that.
But, as my volleyball and basketball players have heard me say a lot, "I don't care."
He's a class young man.
It's been a pleasure to watch many of these young men and women grow and grow up since I first sat in this seat In Oct. 2005.
I am a big proponent of kids.
I am a bigger proponent of kids who do it right.
He is one of them who does it right, on and off the field, in and out of the classroom.
He's not afraid to push his mind.
He's not afraid to push his body to new limits daily.
And, that's what he is doing as a member of the WVU football program.
I fully expect to see him in action one day donning the gold-and-blue.
Well done.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
- John 20:24-29
No one should be surprised the Pirates received one all-star game berth - Joel Hanrahan.
Stop with the Kevin Correia talk. Yes, he has won 11 games, but do it more than one time in a row and you'll be recognized. There is a reason why the 2-14 teams are not on Monday Night Football the next season.
Although, why Andrew McCutchen is not one of the final five in the online voting is a head scratcher. He is, quite simply, a stud.
Pittsburgh is 0 for 8 in trying to get three games over .500, with another chance coming in today's 1:35 p.m. home game with Houston at PNC Park.
The Pirates are 43-41 and no one saw that coming.
Here is how far Pittsburgh has come in six months - manager Clint Hurdle was on the Jim Rome radio show recently. I never remember John Russell on that show.
I listened as Hurdle said he asked Bob Nutting, Neal Huntington and Frank Coonelly tough questions in the interview process. He said he obviously got the answers he wanted because Hurdle left a good job as hitting instructor with Texas to head east and lead an organization that hasn't had a winning season since the Mall of America was constructed, NAFTA was signed and Sister Act was on the big screen.
But, there Hurdle sits, 1 games out of first place.
First place!
The same Pirates who won 17 road games last year have won 24 this season. The same Pirates who are one game under .500 in the friendly confined of beautiful PNC Park, are three games over the mark on the road.
The same Pirates have a huge six-game homestand beginning today.
That was last said in 1997.
Here's the biggest difference that I see.
In years past you knew the Bucs were going on some double-digit losing streak during the year and there was never a chance they would sniff a double-digit winning streak.
That is no longer the case.
As the United States celebrates its 235th birthday today, would the Founding Fathers recognize this country?
And I am not just talking about the population growth from 2.5 million people to 311.7 million.

My database is extremely large and growing at a rate of ~20m rows/day. I have timestamp data that is important but most of the reporting is based on date ranges and week over week or month over month comparisons. Time is displayed in the result sets occasionally but never used as a criteria. Given this, I'm thinking that I'd save considerable storage space with an index on date alone vs a combined datetime field. I'm not sure if I would also see performance gains in my selects or if there are any disadvantages to splitting into 2 fields.

What are the pros/cons of splitting date and time into separate fields vs. using the datetime data type and storing the date in a single field?
For reporting purposes splitting the field out into date and time has some benefits. Some possible benefits you could realise include:
For your application you might get a win from a date reference table (make a clustered PK on date for efficient lookup), which will probably be more efficient than de-normalising the week and month onto your large table.
The index performance should not change.
In a sorted array or tree structure (i.e. the index), asking for "all entries where is equal to " requires a lookup of the first and last entries in the range, same thing as when asking for "all entries where is greater or equal midnight on and smaller than midnight on ".
What might be interesting is an index on
From a storage space POV, I doubt it matters compared to the size of the data tables.

With Netflix and different streaming methods becoming more popular, has this changed anybody's viewing or purchasing habits?
For me I was spending too much money on DVD's. I've got over 1300, with over 100 unwatched at this point. My wife finally got me to cave a few months ago and go with Netflix, and that's worked out well for me. I hadn't rented in over a decade, so I thought I'd have trouble not owning the discs, and not having the comfort of just grabbing whatever disc off my shelf instead of waiting 2 days for it to come in the mail. Streaming fixes that but it's still far off from being the sole option.
Netflix has actually gotten me to watch more movies, because instead of letting a DVD rot on the shelf for months or even years for the ideal mood to strike me, I'm just watching the movie to move the queue along. That's what I feared because it might hurt the movie for me, but it's working well because I'm just diving in now. I'm still buying the movies I really like, but I'm buying much less now.
Netflix also lets me try riskier titles that I might not be willing to blind buy. That and I wanted to see Gymkata and there was no way I was going to pay for that.
As another cost-saving measure, we recently gave up extended cable, and instead got Hulu Plus through the PS3 for $8 a month. I'm not using it so much, and it overlaps Netflix for a lot of the TV. I see it has a load of Criterions, so no more need to go wild at Barnes & Noble sales anymore. Hulu is really our replacement for TV, and I guess I never realized I watched so little TV. I'll watch Letterman & Ferguson, but that's on basic cable. Outside that most viewing for me was falling asleep to whatever happened to be on Discovery or The Travel Channel, and that really wasn't worth what we were paying. Any worthwhile shows are on DVD so I can get those on Netflix and current stuff on Hulu. News is online and I have zero interest in sports. So Hulu will probably go soon too because honestly I'm just watching Tosh.0 and nothing else.

Professor of Management and Organizations
Williams Teaching Professor
J.D., The University of Iowa, 1976
B.A., English and Political Science, University of Rhode Island, 1971
One of the reasons Nancy Hauserman loves teaching so much is "the spark." As she explains, there are times when a teacher realizes that he or she has sparked something in a student. It might be when a student finally understands a problem or when they discover a new way to express or think of an issue. That spark is one of the many reasons Hauserman loves teaching.
The recipient of many teaching awards, including the prestigious Hancher Finkbine Medallion, Hauserman teaches ethics and law to business students in all of the Tippie College's programs. Her teaching helps students develop their critical-thinking and ethical decision-making skills. Her students help her learn more about being an effective teacher.
"An important part of teaching is continually exploring new ways to reach our students," said Hauserman. "Every student is different; each generation of students comes to education with a different perspective. We have to listen and discover how to best present the material so that it resonates in their world."
Hauserman is well-known for her research and has frequently collaborated with Tippie honors students on research projects. Many times, this is a student's first experience in formal research. As coauthors of the research papers, students travel with her to present papers at various conferences.
"When I hear a student present a paper we worked on, I am so proud because I can see how they have grown through the experience," said Hauserman. "I am just thrilled that I can provide that opportunity to them."
Hauserman feels that it is important to be a good citizen—in both her personal and professional life. Since becoming a faculty member in 1976, she has been called upon to help the University community in many ways. She served as University ombudsperson, as dean of the Tippie College's undergraduate program, and on a number of different committees.
"My role as an educator extends beyond the classroom," said Hauserman.
There is no doubt that Hauserman finds teaching to be a rewarding profession. She has developed great friendships along the way.
"Sometimes you know immediately that you've made a difference in someone's life," said Hauserman. "But there are times—sometimes years later—when someone reaches out to you and tells you of how your teaching, advice, or counsel helped them. It is so gratifying to learn that you've had a positive impact on someone's life. And by them telling you so, they have, in turn, had a positive impact on your life as well."

I want a tool that (runs on Win7 and) can perform automated verification of a protocol in the eCK security model as described in Microsoft Research's paper "Stronger Security of Authenticated Key Exchange".
Does anyone know such a tool?
I want a tool that (runs on Win7 and) can perform automated verification of a protocol in the eCK security model as described in Microsoft Research's paper "Stronger Security of Authenticated Key Exchange".

Just wrapping my comment into an answer as it seems to be what you're looking for…
CryptoVerif can be used for verification of security against polynomial time adversaries in the computational model. It's available via http://prosecco.gforge.inria.fr/personal/bblanche/cryptoverif/cryptoverifbin.html
Related to your "it doesn't work on my computer", here's an example how to test if it works (which it will on Win7 - which you previously wrote you're using):
As for your question about TEX output, it would go like this:
The manual, which is included in the download package, will provide you with the rest of the commandline parameters and a detailed description on how to use it.
Here's a screenshot of the
A bit late, but The Scyther Tool may come handy too.
None of the above answers seem to take into account that you apparently want to establish security with respect to the eCK model; the above answers are mostly about tools that verify some (related but different) properties.
Afaik, there is current no automatic tool that can give you analysis with respect to the exact eCK model.
In the symbolic setting, which does not give you a reduction to a known hard problem as in the real eCK model, Scyther and Tamarin have been used to analyze protocols like Naxos etc. in a symbolic version of the eCK model. So that includes revealing the randomness, revealing session keys of non-matching sessions, weak perfect forward secrecy, etc.
If the reduction to the computational hardness problem is your main goal, you could try to do a computational proof with CryptoVerif. Afaik, no one has used it for the eCK model and such (relatively) complex protocols yet.
Short summary of my opinion: if you want an automatic tool to
I can highly recommend AVISPA, a tool for automated verification of cryptographic protocols. It is available as a web service, so you can upload a description of your protocol to their web server and it will give you a security analysis of it. They have detailed documentation of how to use their system and of their specification language for protocols, so you can model your protocol in their language. They integrate with multiple protocol verification back-ends and automatically analyze your protocol with all available back-ends. It's great stuff: give it a try.
You might also check out the ProVerif system. It is more sophisticated and flexible -- but also has a substantially steeper learning curve.
I'm not familiar with the eCK security model, so you'll have to investigate on your own whether these tools can be used for what you want.
(I have no relationship to either project, other than being a fan of their work and a happy user of their tools.)
I could add to the list (in alphabetical order):

We want to commend Ray Venturini and Brandon Mello for a great job they did removing a limb that was over the electric wires on the street. Not only did they remove the limb, they also cut smaller branches from two other trees that were encroaching on the same wires.
They came out to look at the problem and told us they would be back the next day to take care of it. They did exactly what they said they would do. They even cleaned up all of the mess and took it with them. Very seldom do you receive such a quick response and have the company or individuals do what they say they will do. We are very happy with the job they did and want them to get the recognition they deserve.
These men spend many hours cutting branches away from our power lines so we do not loose our electrical power during storms. They seldom receive any thank you from us.
You have no idea how grateful we are for the service you provide to the citizens of Taunton. From us to you (Ray and Brandon), a great, big "thank you."
We would also like to give a very big thank you to Carol Mendonca who got us in touch with the right people.

The Jeddah-based Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) today condemned the attack on the Saints Church in Alexandria, Egypt that that killed scores of innocent people and injured a number of others.
In a statement issued in Jeddah, Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu condemned the attack in the strongest terms and extended his condolences to the government and people of Egypt, in particular the families of the victims.
Dr. Ihsanoglu stated that "this disgraceful terrorist act is in complete contradiction with the noble principles of Islam which strongly condemns such criminal act, as well as it contradicts the traditions of the Egyptian people who are known of their peaceful coexistence among the various sects throughout the long centuries where the values of tolerance, harmony and respect for others have prevailed."
The Secretary General emphasized that the coherence of the Egyptian people will undoubtedly enable it to overcome this painful ordeal.

Let $\bf N$ be the set of positive integers and let $\bf Q$ be the set of all rational numbers. Consider all functions $f:{\bf Z}\to{\bf Q}$. We say $f$ is a sum of $q_1,q_2,\dots,q_s$ if for all positive integer $n$ the equality $f(n)=q_1(n)+q_2(n)+\dots+q_s(n)$ holds. How can one prove that for each $f:{\bf Z}\to{\bf Q}$ there exist bijections $q_1,q_2,q_3:{\bf Z}\to{\bf Q}$ such that $f=q_1+q_2+q_3$? Is there an easy example of $f$ which is not presentable as a sum of two bijections?
One key observation is that with $3$ functions, we are free to have one of them assume any rational value at any Natural number. This is not possible when we only have $2$ functions where after we select the value for $q_1(n)$, we have $q_2(n)$ completely determined by $f(n) - q_1(n)$ and visa versa. The other key observation is that we can split $\mathbb{N}$ into the $3$ disjoint infinite subsets $A_1, A_2, A_3$ with each subset consisting of the set of indices where we make the $q_i$ assume the "next" rational value it has not already assumed according to some bijective enumeration. Specifically:
Fix an arbitrary function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}$ and an arbitrary bijection $e: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}$. The function $e$ induces a well-order, $<_e$ on the set of rational numbers defined by $r\text{ }<_e\text{ }s$ exactly when $e^{-1}(r) < e^{-1}(s)$ (i.e., $r$ is listed before $s$). It also induces a well-order $<_e^*$ on pairs of rationals defined by $\langle r, s\rangle <_e^* \langle t, u\rangle$ exactly when $r\text{ }<_e\text{ }t$ or both $r = t$ and $s\text{ }<_e\text{ }u$ (so-called lexicographical ordering).
We can then define each of the $q_i$ by induction as follows:
If $n \equiv i \pmod 3$, define $q_i(n)$ to be the $<_e$-least rational value not already assumed by $q_i(m)$ for $m < n$.
Then for the $j$ and $k$ such that $n \not\equiv j \pmod 3$ and $n \not\equiv k \pmod 3$, let $\langle r_j, r_k\rangle$ be the $<_e^*$-least pair such that $r_j$ was not assumed by any of the $q_j(m)$ and $r_k$ was not assumed by any of the $q_k(m)$ for $m < n$ and $r_j + r_k = f(n) - q_i(n)$. Note that there is such a pair since there are infinitely many pairs $\langle r_j, r_k\rangle$ satisfying the equality and only finitely many pairs excluded from consideration. Then define $q_j(n) = r_j$ and $q_k(n) = r_k$.
A simple example of a function which can't be written as a sum of two bijections is given by $f(0)=1$, $f(n)=0$ for $n\ne0$. If there were such bijections $q_1$ and $q_2$, then restricted to $n\ge1$ each would have range missing exactly one rational, and if (the restricted) $q_1$ is missing $r$ then $-r$ can't be in the range of (the restricted) $q_2$ so it must be the missing rational for $q_2$. But then $q_1(0)+q_2(0)=r+-r=0\ne1$.
A related question was asked by Funar in Richard Guy's Unsolved Problems column in the Monthly in 1986, and progress was discussed by Guy in his column in 1987.
I guess, Z is N here. We define partial injections $q_1,q_2,q_3$ inductively, on each step they are injections on some finite set. There are different possible steps: 1) add some new positive integer $m$ to the common domain of $q_1,q_2,q_3$. Define $q_1(m)$, $q_2(m)$, $q_3(m)$ so that $q_1$, $q_2$, $q_3$ remain injective and $q_1(m)+q_2(m)+q_3(m)=f(m)$. 2) add given rational $r$ to the range of, say, $q_1$. For this choose some $m$ not from the domain of $q_i$'s and define $q_1(m)=r$, $q_2(m)$ very large, $q_3(m)=f(m)-r-q_2(m)$. So, step by step we construct bijections.

Chandos CHAN 5094
Delius: Double Concerto; Violin Concerto; Cello Concerto – Tasmin Little, Paul Watkins, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis
These three major concertos by Frederick Delius involving solo string instruments are here brought together on the same disc for the first time. The Violin Concerto, Double Concerto, and Cello Concerto are performed by exclusive Chandos artists strongly associated with British repertoire.
Sir Andrew Davis and the BBC Symphony Orchestra have already released one Delius disc this year (CHSA 5088 – Appalachia and The Song of the High Hills), of which International Record Review (IRR) wrote: 'I am absolutely certain that this is the greatest performance and recording of Delius' Appalachia which has ever been put on disc… it would be hard if not impossible to imagine a more magnificent performance of this masterpiece… the playing is unfailingly beautiful and infused with sensitivity, brilliance of technique and vividness of colour.'
Tasmin Little, who won the Critics' Choice Award at this year's Classic BRIT Awards, is the soloist in the Violin Concerto. This is not a virtuosic showpiece in the ordinary sense; instead, the solo part stays harmonically connected with the orchestra throughout; in fact, it seems to grow out of its textures. The work is composed in a single long span, divided into three clear sections in which different moods succeed one another, sometimes passionately spontaneous, sometimes dreamlike, sometimes fiery.
Paul Watkins is the soloist in the Cello Concerto, which Delius regarded as his personal favourite among his concertos. It was the last work that he was able to complete in his own hand before experiencing the onset of the devastating effects of syphilis: paralysis and blindness.
Tasmin Little and Paul Watkins join forces in the rarely performed and recorded Double Concerto, which represents Delius at his most inspired: the work is warmly evocative as well as strong and memorable. The soloists get to showcase their abilities in music that is both passionate and tranquil.
"...All Delius lovers and all who value performance excellence and beauty in music will want this."
Becker – American Record Guide – March/April 2012
Riccardo Cassani - Musica – February 2012
"...This is one fantastic recording, graced by gorgeous playing, and not just by Little and Watkins, but also by the BBC Orchestra under the keen stewardship of Sir Andrew Davis. All, including Chandos's engineering and production team, are to be congratulated. Urgently recommended."
Jerry Dubins – Fanfare – March/April 2012

"...excellent recording: sumptuous sonority ..."
Michel Fleury - Classica - February 2012
"...These are first-class performances with superb sound quality. I look forward enthusiastically to the third instalment of Chandos's Andrew Davis Delius series.
Peter Joelson - the Classical Source.com - 7 January 2012
"Masterly accounts of Delius's concertos for strings, together for the first time on disc."
Matthew Rye - The Strad - December 2011
"... No self-respecting Delian can afford to be without this indispensable issue."
Andrew Achenbach – Gramophone December 2011
"Editor's Choice"
"...An irresistible programme throughout which Delius's golden phrases soar aloft as if floating on warm summer breezes, captured in exemplary Chandos sound." *****
Julian Haylock – Classic FM Magazine – December 2011
Performance ***** Recording ****
"...a disc that will give great pleasure to all lovers of Delius's music."
Anthony Burton – BBC Music Magazine – December 2011
"...There is wonderfully idiomatic support from Andrew Davies and the BBC Symphony, as both Tasmin Little's account of the Violin Concerto and Paul Watkins's of the cello work seize every opportunity to inject incisiveness and dramatic shape into the music..."
Andrew Clements – The Guardian – 28 October 2011
"...This is a well programmed release, gaining from an up to date sound, and while this is all the first rate Delius, well realised, it also shows that the Violin Concerto should be a regular part of the repertoire."
Peter Spaull - Liverpool Daily Post – 28 October 2011
"Delius's Double Concerto for violin and cello gets a confident performance from Tasmin Little and Paul Watkins, with a powerful central climax. Little also brings all her artistry to the strong and lyrical Violin Concerto. Sir Andrew Davis is a fluent collaborator throughout." ****
Michael Kennedy – The Sunday Telegraph - 2 October 2011
"... a magical, sensuous flow is the presiding quality of this superior performance by Little. Watkins is no less captivating in the Cello Concerto, and they are superb together in the Double Concerto, with its heart-easing slow second section."
Paul Driver – The Sunday Times – 2 October 2011
IRR Outstanding
"This exceptional recording has exceeded my expectations... a really important CD of Delius's music: a truly outstanding issue."

First-Time IFSWritten by on April 28, 2005 How Easy it is to Insall A Heidt's Frontend
Swapping drum brakes for discs. An amateur could pull it off with little effort. Bolting a new intake manifold and carb on. The same amateur could tackle it with ease. Putting IFS on an I-beam chassis. Okay, maybe not the next logical step for said amateur...or is it?
Some people have the natural ability to take on any task that is presented to them and, more often than not, complete successfully. These are not only the aspiring builders of tomorrow, but the "average joe" working from his meager two-car garage nights and weekends. It's the guy who sees a pro-built truck and tells himself, "I can do that myself...and besides, I don't have an extra hundred-grand to spare!" So, that same guy who took it upon himself to add disc brakes or a new carb and intake on his pickup is the same guy that will one day be installing an IFS with his trusty MIG and a pair of jackstands in his driveway.
We just happened to know "one of those guys," too, and his name is Marty South. Probably best described as the typical do-it-yourselfer, the SoCal "home builder" has resorted to doing things himself for two reasons: pride and extreme frugalness! It was the latter part of his nature that first tempted him to search for a used Camaro front clip for his '59 Chevy Apache project. After we had broken down the added cost of rebuilding all the worn-out components versus an all-new Mustang-based kit (not to mention the added room for error involved with dealing with "clips"), Marty was soon convinced that an application-specific IFS kit would be the ticket. And after discussing the options, we all agreed on a Heidt's entry-level IFS.
Suffice it to say, even though he's just a service writer at a local body shop, Marty's got some experience behind him when it comes to fabrication, so we weren't too worried about turning him loose on a job like this. Hell, we were so confident that we left the photography up to him, too! As you might have already seen by the images, he did a pretty fine job of installing the kit on his Chevy's chassis, if we don't mind saying so ourselves. Now, this isn't to say that the "average joe" is going to be able to pull this type of job off without a hitch, but it's also not underestimating his abilities, either. You know what you're capable of achieving, and what you're not. If you're a proficient welder/fabricator, then you'll know whether or not "IFS at Home" is for you.
Follow along as Marty photo-documents (and we comment on) his very first IFS job. If you have any questions about various kits and applications, don't hesitate to call Heidt's and consult one of their qualified technicians. With a chassis like the common '55-59 Chevy/GMC, so many companies (specifically Heidt's) have perfected the kit IFS that it's pretty hard to go wrong. See for yourselves!

When you order a frontend kit from Heidt's, you get a complete kit, as shown here. Actually, there are a few miscellaneous items not shown (they wouldn't fit in the view finder!), such as shocks, hardware, and so on.Normally, most folks don't have the luxury of a bodiless chassis. Fortunately, Marty had the ability to pull the front sheetmetal, cab, and bed at his friend Dave Cotten's shop. For you, it's not crucial to get anything more than the front group removed, if even that (the suspension swap can be performed with the sheetmetal intact, but it's not recommended).Obviously, the first thing you'll want to do is remove the old parallel-leaf components. Depending on the condition of your old parts, a nice steam bath may be in order before the removal process....Due to the age and nature of these pickups (hard life!), you'll also want to make sure your frame's square, so pull out that tape measure and take some numbers. (If you happen to have some tweaked rails, it's best to have your frame professionally straightened.)Now comes the frame preparation stage(s). First, you'll notice that on the '55-59s, there's a "lip" behind the stock crossmember that needs to be cut off.The plates will fill the framerail gap from the crossmember back. Weld in solid, but do so in increments to avoid overheating and warping.
The length at which you finish off the welds is up to you, but just be sure you don't take the majority of your weld bead off just to pretty things up.Before welding the crossmember into the frame, Marty welded up the lower control arm pivot tubes and gussets.With the Heidt's three-piece crossmember now united as one with the frame, the stock front crossmember can be cut free. (You can trim the crossmember for rack clearance, but as long as you box the front portion of the rails, complete removal is not a problem.)Once the crossmember was freed, Marty flipped the chassis over (here's where having it bodiless really helps) and finished welding up everything on the bottom side. Marty ran full beads along the outside of the hats and crossmember, and small stitches on various "accessible" inside edges as well.As you'll notice, he also cut and bent sheetmetal to fill the open area of lower edge of the crossmember. This is not totally necessary, but it does help beef things up.
With the suspension unloaded, it's much easier to get the coil springs and shocks installed. Heidt's also offers coilover and airbag applications for this frontend, but Marty's not the fancy type, so he chose to stick with the basics (remember, he's frugal!).Finally, bolt the rack up, connect the tie-rod ends, install cotter pins where necessary, and you're ready to slap some wheels on!
Once you get the sheetmetal back on, you'll notice the inner fenderwells interfere with the new suspension--cut as needed, as shown.

I am trying to keep a fair degree of verisimilitude in my fantasy games (outside the obviously fantastical elements like magic and dragons). As part of that, the normal/average marriage age for characters has been significant. Does anyone know a good source for things like the normal age of marriage and similar details for normal life in the dark ages and/or middle ages?

Beal & others A new commentary on Canon Law indicates that the Eastern Church took Roman law literally as 14/12, but that the Western Church took Roman law on its basis: functional adolescence. While Beal goes on to note that primary concern in the church was with the development of moral capacity to consent, in actuality proof of wickedness (sexual "maturity") made up for a want of age—thus children found copulating could be married.
But there's a great distance between Church stricture and human practice between 500 and 1500 AD (our "sourcebook"). And a thousand years of Europe is enough time and space to allow anything to happen. We need to look beyond actual incidents (not indicative) and determine the underlying causes of marriage. (Engels. Family, Private Property, and the State).
Families are economic units designed to replicate property structures. In some instances they are economic units designed to replicate state structures. Let us examine situations:
To replicate a monarchy is a family issue. Often inheritance law will dictate the requirements of marriage. Marriage will be flexible in the extreme. One will think little of engaging 8 year olds, only to break the marriage; marrying them at 10 only to annul claiming lack of sexual consumation; or declaring children bastards as a previous annulment of an unconsumated marriage was illegitimate as they had had sex only not procreated thereby this current marriage was always illegal. Picture Henry VIII clinging to power by the head of his codpiece. Avoid regency at all costs! In the case where religious figures can only be illegally married, it is all about siblings. Adventure hooks: find the bloody sheets, etc.
RPG outcomes: Monarchs, their consorts, their children and Pontificate's Siblings engage between 8 and "infertility" of mid 20s. They marry between 10 and "infertility" of mid 20s. The children of Regents are unlikely to marry until majority (18-21), but may be engaged
To replicate an aristocracy or a manor is a family issue. The chief requirement here is the ability to go into battle and to command men in battle. Marriage prior to this age is silly. You may need to form an alliance later. Engagement early, yes, but marriage after majority (as soon as possible for whatever local majority is, get them pumping replacement inheritors and future mounted combatants out). You don't marry girls off early because the leader of a manor is an economic mastermind. Why marry a dumb beautiful girl, when what you really want is a medieval form of Margaret Thatcher and your serfs are the miners. You want a lady who'll "keep coal reserves up in summer" so she can starve the peasants out through winter. You are in a constant class war against those who labour in the fields, and to reduce a gentry to a poor freeman, a freeman to a peasant, a peasant to a serf or a serf to a slave is the highest ideal. A 14 year old slip of a girl can't starve a peasant family into submission. I recommend Christine de Pizan's works, or any of the manuals of manorial management. Adventure hooks vary from convincing a homosexual heir that family duty isn't about coitus but wealth; or the standard goblin genocide only with Slavonic language speaking peasants.
RPG outcomes: Male aristocrats and nobility marry for the first time after at least 16, males remarry for political reasons whenever widowed (unless personal reasons cause them not to OR they have spare sisters or daughters suitable to manage their holdings). Peak ages for first marriage are the age of coming into majority (18-21)
RPG outcomes: Female aristocrats and nobility marry for the first time at any time after 15, but prior to their mid 20s. Second marriages are likely to be for political reasons. Peak ages for first marriage are prior to the age of coming into majority (16-19)
To replicate a peasantry is a family issue. A peasant family is a right to access land as part of a community and work on it. Obviously you want to keep your children from competing with you as long as possible. And this means keeping them from full membership in the community. And this means keeping them from marriage. Obviously if you're a child you want access to land as soon as possible, and this means being married, and one of the best ways to force marriage is conspicuous pregnancy. But if you do it too soon your fathers will beat you into a pulp and send the kid off as a bastard or a "bed pan boy" for the aristocrats (or sacrifice them to the fairies etc.). So the idea is to become sexually active as young as possible, but delay pregnancy until you're capable of beating your fathers into submission and forcing them to give you land. I recommend Emile Zola's Earth for this. It is a 19th century socialist realist novel of a capitalist peasantry, but despite the influence of cash cropping and cash economies, the access to land and the sexual and family politics of access to land are displayed in a vital and bloody way. Women, keep your sons stupid but strong, so you can be a merry widow. Men, keep your sons weak and your daughters virgin, so you can plough your land for as long as you live. Don't romanticise peasant marriage, Zola doesn't.
When peasants are poor, land access happens earlier, and the children are of the same age (16, 18, 20). When peasants are rich, they can hold the threat of access to land over their children's heads and delay pregnancy until the late 20s for males (26/18, 28/16, 30/14). Wealth here is manure, field rotation, allody, gentry status, long term enclosed field rents. The sunk capital of these land improvements mean that getting access to new land isn't worth it, waiting for dad to die is better. When there isn't sunk wealth, you may as well beg the Lord for recognition as a full member of the distributed strip fields collective.
RPG outcomes: Males in poor communities will marry for the first at any time after 16, local peaks set by the age of local access to land. By their mid 30s, landless males are unlikely to become married and are likely to have to pursue alternate coupling activities, including vagabondage. Second marriages will be conducted in order to get access to female controlled property.
Males in rich communities will marry for the first time after 21, with peaks between 26 and 35. Second marriages will be conducted in order to get access to female controlled property.
Females in poor communities will marry for the first time between 14 and 20. Second marriages will occur to cement property relationships
Females in rich communities will marry for the first time between 16 and 28. Second marriages will occur to cement property relationships
This doesn't cover peasant marriage on monastery lands (much better managed, but "owned" by religious communities); nor does it cover illegal settlements on wastes where land access is as free as your capacity to fight off the King's forrest guards and break new ground.
It also doesn't cover thief class marriages, I'd suggest using bourgeois marriage in the cities, which is like rich peasant marriage, except you occasionally get rich old women marrying youthful men instead of just exclusively rich old men marrying youthful women.
It also doesn't cover wizard class marriages, I'd suggest treating them like University professors: forced chastity, but my brother is looking for a wife.
You can feel free to try and remove the historical patriarchy of marriage in high fantasy, but it means that you'll need to reconsider chastity given that chastity in religious, civil and military life was a way of getting rid of excess potential noble combatants who might want an opportunity to economically exploit peasants.
The general source books I suggest are social histories of european women. I strongly recommend, for example: Anderson and Zinsser A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present Volume I Volume II. It is so widely reprinted that I don't need to supply a year or publisher really. Anderson and Zinsser present a class focused account of women's differing social realities in Europe over time.
In Christendom, during the dark and middle ages (circa 500 to 1600), marriage customs varied, but the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches pretty much followed the old Roman laws: Age 14 for males, age 12 for females. Some dioceses recognized age 10 for girls, as well. Consent of the female was required.
Note that typical marriage ages for gentry and nobility are the best documented, and the formal church weddings generally waited until age 12 or later, but solemn vows of betrothal could be entered from the "age of reason" (Generally held to be about age 7 by canon law pre-vatican II). 1 Typical male age at marriage is between 15 and 25; female between 12 and 18. The Domesday records show many young wives in their teens amongst the commoners and lesser tenants.
Islam allows marriage at any age; Mohammed married Aisha at age 6. (He waited until age 9 to consummate it. Consent of the woman is not required by Shari'a, but consent of her guardian is, and in many islamic cultures, her consent is also required. The male must be of sufficient reason to consent for himself. 2 Age of Maturity for girls is considered to be (generally) onset of menstruation; for boys, it ranges from age 9 to 18, depending upon culture and local laws. 3
Typically, tho, males married in their teens and twenties, with wives typically in their early teens.
Jewish law puts majority between 8 and 13, usually leaning to 13, with the celebration of the bar mitzva or bat mitzva. Betrothals required her consent, as did marriage, and betrothal usually lasted a year.4
It should be noted that many places in Europe followed simply church law, leaving marriage (aside from royalty and the tenants in chief) as a matter of the faith alone; the tenants in chief (barons, viscounts, counts, dukes) and the royals (princes and kings) married by whatever marriage the crowns decided to permit; religious recognition could be obtained later for illicit public marriages provided that no prior marriages existed; annulments were common for royals on grounds of infertility and/or infidelity (the former disqualifying one from marriage, the latter showing lack of understanding of the sacrament); Generally Jews in Christendom married by Jewish law.
Further, gentry males generally didn't marry until after being knighted; squiredom could end anywhere from age 15 to age 21, typically squiredom began between 13 and 16; with serving as a page from age 8-10 through age 13-16, followed immediately by squiring.
Marriage was, in all three religious supercultures, seen as a contract, and as a means of begetting progeny. In both Christendom and Judaism, it was also seen as a sacrament - a religious observance, with God being an obligatory part of the union - but the details vary somewhat with time and place.
One other caution: Betrothals are often mislisted as marriages. Betrothals could be entered by the parents, and the children obligated, and thus unable to marry outside, but never result in a marriage due to non-consent of one party or the other.
Further, remember that Christian and Jewish marriages generally had "banns" posted and/or announced: a call for any with just reason to forbid the marriage (including prior marriage) to come forth. Technically, Catholic marriages still require banns be posted....
1: Catholic Encyclopedia Minor
This site says that a lot of girls in medieval Europe were married as young as twelve (which the site does not specifically say, but I gather is an extreme example). Some middle-eastern patriarchal cultures used their daughters as debt-pawns, and there are several recorded instances of marrying-off incredible young children (again, on the extreme end of the spectrum).
I would assume that the average marrying age would have been somewhat older than the extreme, somewhere between 14-16 years old. Likely the boys somewhat older than the girls.
It also really depends on which class you are talking about. Royalty might be wed much younger to form a political alliance even if the marriage isn't consummated at the time whereas someone in the middle class (tradesman, merchant) might have to work for awhile to achieve success and stability before seeking marriage.
Medieval Weddings, a web site seemingly dedicated to this topic, notes the following:
Some of this has already been said, but this site backs some of those ideas, and the site has more.

fundraiser t-shirt for the 2009 Junior world team
On the home page of this site there is a link to buy a shirt that Pendlay Barbell and MuscledriverUSA are selling as a fundraiser for the 2009 Junior world team that is set to represent the USA in Constanta, Romania in June. You can read the details by clicking the link, but this is a quick-dry fabric shirt that is quite nice looking, identifies the wearer as part of the "support team" for the US team going to this meet, and $10 from every shirt will go directly to the 17-20 year old athletes who are representing us at this meet.
Because of lack of funds from the USAW, unlike most years the USAW will not be able to pay the full cost of the trip this year for all the athletes. Most of the athletes will have to pay some portion if not all of the $2700 price tag for the trip themselves. These kids have worked long and hard to represent USA weightlifting at this meet, we dont want any of our best lifters left behind because of financial reasons.
Take a look at the link on the home page, and consider supporting these lifters by buying this nice looking shirt.

Junior Alyssa Stefanese is among Geneseo students returning to Staten Island with Livingston CARES Jan. 12 – 18 during the semester break to continue clean-up work for those hard hit by Hurricane Sandy. Her own family's home on Staten Island was damaged in the 2012 storm and she chose to also help others in the area last year after determining her family was safe. Stefanese will join six others on the crew. A similar work group will be in Biloxi, Miss., during the same week on Livingston CARES' 29th work trip for Hurricane Katrina relief work.
GENESEO, N.Y. – The college/community organization Livingston CARES is preparing for its 29th trip to the Biloxi/Gulfport, Miss., area and its second trip to New York City's Staten Island to continue repairing damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
A group of 21 Geneseo students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members will be in Mississippi Jan. 12 – 18 to continue relief work the organization has been doing to repair homes and other structures damaged by Hurricane Katrina. A separate group of seven is going to Staten Island during the same week to repair damaged caused by Hurricane Sandy.
"It's easy for people to forget about the long-term damage these horrendous storms have caused but a great number of people still need help and will continue to need it for a long time," said Tom Matthews, associate dean of leadership and service at Geneseo."Students and community members are eager to participate in this work and it's a tremendous example of service-learning, an important component of a liberal arts education."
Livingston CARES is a non-profit group of Geneseo students, faculty and community members dedicated to local and global humanitarian projects. After Hurricane Katrina, the Livingston County Board of Supervisors established a relationship with its counterpart in Harrison County, Mississippi, to assist with the relief and recovery efforts. SUNY Geneseo organized Livingston CARES through the Center for Community, which emphasizes the vital link between service and leadership.
The organization is planning additional works trips to Mississippi and Staten Island this spring. To inquire about opportunities, call 585-245-5857.

I'm in the Nexus in Demon's Souls and have progressed fairly far through the game. I've just completed World 4, the Shrine of Storms.
I've noticed some quite eerie organ music playing in the Nexus that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist at the beginning of the game. What is the reason for this change? Does it mean anything?

Sorry, I Have a New Commitment
Pope Francis sent his regrets to the plenary meeting of the Argentinian episcopate. He can't be present due to unforeseen events. But he shared some thoughts with them:
In a letter sent to the group, which will remain in closed session until April 20, the Pope begins by apologizing for his absence noting that recent commitments have impeded his attending. He then urges them to reflect on the theme Into the Deep in light of the great missionary document of Aparecida, launched following the V General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean. A document the then Cardinal Bergoglio helped draft.Mission he notes, is key to ministry. A Church that does not go out of itself, sooner or later, sickens from the stale air of closed rooms. Pope Francis went on to concede that at times, like anyone else, in going out the Church risks running into accidents. But he added I prefer a thousand times over a Church of accidents than a sick Church.Pope Francis said that the Church typically suffers from being self-referential, of only looking to and relying on itself. He spoke of a narcissism that leads to a routine spirituality and convoluted clericalism and prevents people from experiencing the sweet and comforting joy of evangelization.
The full letter, in Spanish, is here.

It's heartening that Pope Francis has chosen not to dress up in silks and satins or to live in a palatial prison in the papal apartments. And he's right about the narcissism and convoluted clericalism that lock the hierarchy and clergy away from a world to which they been sent in mission. It's hard not to like his style. But much will depend on his ability to keep on throwing windows open while dealing with the many episcopal appointees of his recent predecessors who appear to thrive best in stale air. Will he be intimidated by the old hands in the Curia? Will he think the Americans in the Congregation for Bishops have really been offering the best advice on the selection of new Bishops? Whose advice on such matters is he likely to hear and take? The Pope's swift reaffirmation of Archbishop Sartain's mandate to take charge of the LWCR for five years is not encouraging. Whose advice is he hearing? This man will need lots of help and many prayers. He is up against stiff odds.
Susan, thank you.
In Cardinal Dulles "Models of the Church", which was an undergraduate textbook for me, rather a long time ago now, Dulles spends some time near the beginning on the old paradigm of the Church as "Perfect Society", and its rather internally-focused implications. A number of the alternative models he presents, such as "the Church as Communion" and "the Church as Herald" have a more outward focus.
James,you probably know that the last book that Cardinal Dulles was able to assemble (from essays) before his death was "Evangelization for the Third Millennium." One of the things I find intriguing about Pope Francis is his constant call to evangelization, not only by bishops and priests, but by all the baptized.The "stale air of closed rooms" is not restricted to episcopal residences.
I hope that, in his newness to the job and most likely necessary reliance on the recommendations of the people already in place, his initial appointment of bishops will not be regrettable. Dubuque deserves a good replacement for Abp. Hanus and I'm not sure that a Bruskewitz protege can or will be that.
This probably won't come as a surprise, but one group of disaffected Catholics has begun to criticize Pope Francis publicly for his simple and humble style. :-(http://news.yahoo.com/catholic-rebel-group-begins-criticizing-pope-17363...
"recent commitments"! How good it is to have a pope with a sense of humor!
Fr. Imbelli - you and I don't converse too often on dotCom, but it seems that not infrequently when we do, I come away with a book recommendation :-). I haven't read it but will hop on the ereader later this evening and see if it's available electronically.Claire - "How good it is to have a pope with a sense of humor!" - I think this is actually pretty noteworthy. Not the sense of humor per se; but that he is expressing himself publicly in this sort of sly, understated way. It's very contemporary. It is not so long ago - perhaps as recently as John XXIIII - when pontiffs wrote in a very flowery, formal style, replete with first-person singular "we"'s and references to predecessors "of happy memory". If style is important, this signifies an important shift, istm.
Susan, all that is indeed heartening. What's disheartening is the report that he intends to keep up the witch hunt against American nuns.
@ Susan Gannon: I seem to recall the same public infatuation with the "style" of a new pope from Poland some years ago. How did that turn out?As my sainted sixth-grade teacher, Sister Mary Adelaide, would intone whenever "cheap talk" would surface:"Actions, not words!"

I'd like to learn the Chongqing dialect or chongqinghua. If anyone can help me to find resources like phrasebooks, differences with putonghua, or any article on this topic, I would be thankful.

As a form of Southwestern Mandarin, you can approach the Chongqing dialect with resources designed for Sichuanese in general. The English Wikipedia gives a lot of resources on "Si4cuan1hua4", including a good overview of the phonology, and a introduction to Sichuanese Pinyin. The Chinese Wikipedia gives a little more detail on the Chengdu-Chongqing dialect.
As for books, most will naturally be in Chinese. In English, there is the Lonely Planet China Phrasebook, which includes Sichuanese, but with a very idiosyncratic romanisation. Otherwise, there are only academic papers (e.g. Malmqvist's Syntax of Bound Forms in Sïch'uanese), although there are quite a few that mention Sichuanese or one of its constituent topolects.
Of the free papers that I was able to find in Chinese, there is this on the evolution of the checked tone from Middle Chinese through early Southwestern Mandarin to the modern Chongqing dialect.
There are naturally quite a few books about Sichuanese and the Chongqing dialect in Chinese, among them the 四川方言詞語考釋 (ISBN: 7806593713), the 四川方言词汇研究 (ISBN: 7500488165), both about vocabulary; and 四川方言与普通话 (ISBN unknown; published 1982) compares it to Standard Mandarin. Sichuanese-to-Chinese dictionaries include this one from 1987; there is one for the Chongqing dialect in particular (ISBN: 7562113378, apparently); also, one for the related Chengdu dialect from 1998, 成都方言词典 (ISBN: 7534334209 apparently), was one of the rather epic 现代汉语方言大词典 series. There is also a course, 四川方言会通 (ISBN: 7807521880), apparently published in 2008.
Elsewhere on the Internet, there are quite a few websites in English based on Chengdu Sichuanese rather than Chongqing Sichuanese. Among them, this Chengdu diary has an entry concentrating on dialect; there are a few guides to the phonology on gochengdoo.com; and there is an interesting Sichuanese primer on the blog Long Legged Fly. There is a now (in)famous video of a white American person speaking some Sichuanese here on YouTube; the Tudou version is here. Also some here on Tudou. Plus a few courses on the Chongqing dialect can be on fyan8.com.
This resource recommends learning Mandarin first, and then learning Chongqinghua using Mandarin. http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/35629-resources-for-learning-chongqinghua/
This post claims it's almost identical to Mandarin with different tones and the trend is for it to be rolled into Mandarin since it's so similar already. http://matthewsoren.blogspot.com/2009/06/chongqinghua-chongqing-dialect.html
Then Google stops giving interesting results. It seems like given it's intense similarities to Mandarin and obscurity in the west, your best bet to study it is actually to study it using Mandarin as a basis.

While architecting the system, often you have to choose the appropriate technologies to be used for every module. What are the different parameters to be considered while choosing the technologies/frameworks? How those parameters can affect the project quality, schedule, expense? Can anybody please explain in detail.

Note that there are few technical considerations that really matter C#, Python and Java (for example) all work perfectly. The choice is usually political or experience more than anything else. Having talked to a lot of CIO's and development directors, the politics of the situation matter more than almost anything else.
Zero effect.
Quality is a matter of doing things properly. Right Design. Right Requirements. Right Budget. Right Testing. Right Attitude. etc. Technology doesn't matter.
Schedule is a matter of having the right people doing the right things at the right time. Technology doesn't matter.
Expense is a function of licensing and schedule. The technology choices are irrelevant.
Most -- not all -- most technology choices are based on experience. "Go with what you know." You build highest quality most quickly with familiar tools.
[I prefer the rare cases of choosing something new. However, after 30 years in this business, I've seen most decisions based on experience and going with something well-known.]
It's a broad question, but one thing you should keep in mind is the balance between new technology and routine. It's a trade-off in my eyes and you have to choose a value between close to outdated but well known, tested and understood by experienced programmers and bleeding edge, interesting to learn, doing more things for you than the previous version.
My experience is focused on a team size of 5-7 programmers and I tend to say that you shouldn't introduce more than one entirely new technology per project if noone in the team has worked with it before.
As for choosing the appropriate technology, vertical prototyping can help a lot so you understand how the new framework affects the rest of the technology stack you're using.
Some broad criteria may include:
1-Type of application (Web, ETL, etc.)
2-Expertise of development team and whether the gap is could be crossed
3-Budget fit
5-User Requirements and usability needs - Compare each competitive technology for that. This is very broad point. You need to examine every known requirement against the selected stack/platform.
6-Ease of finding knowledgeably support people (if you plan to live with the product)
7-Software licensing style (per user, server, etc.)
8-Interface compatibility between the platform/tools and the existing systems
9-Localization support (in some countries where English is not the first language)
I once heard of a company who gave a fake advertise that they want to hire some developers. The selection criteria was to plan a project (the one they were actuly starting to working on). You had to chose the technology and how many people would work on it etc.
Then they just picked the technology that was mentioned most of the times:)
I don't recomend this but I just had to share this short story:)

The 5 Most Mind-Blowingly Huge Machines Built By Science
Although it seems that modern technology is all about making everything smaller, when it comes to unlocking the secrets of the universe, science is all about going big. Really big. Right at this moment, scientists and engineers are in the process of building -- or using -- instruments that look like the engine for a Star Destroyer.
Like ...
#5. The Death-Star-Sized Laser at the National Ignition Facility
The competition to create the world's biggest laser sounds in every way like a duel between competing supervillains, with names like "The Omega Laser" and "The Z Machine." But don't worry. After all, would a supervillain build something that looks like this?
This thing has three giant shark tanks and no bathrooms.
Yeah, that's the Department of Energy's National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California. It's three football fields' worth of deadly laser force, and the components are all terrifyingly huge. Here, let's play a game of "find the tiny workers among these pictures of giant laser parts."
It's like Where's Waldo? for the Ivy League set.
So what does all of that stuff do? Well, in 5 millionths of a second, the NIF can charge and deliver 192 beams of laser love capable of generating temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius, and pressures greater than 100 billion times that of the Earth's atmosphere.
What could possibly be the purpose of such a thing, short of carving your name onto the face of the moon? Actually, scientists are trying to create nuclear fusion, the Holy Grail of energy technology. It's literally the energy source that powers the sun, and to make it happen, they're going to unload the full force of laser fury into a packet of hydrogen the size of the full stop at the end of this sentence.
In other words, the NIF is here to bust a nut.
As an added bonus, by recreating the extreme conditions of the core of the sun, the NIF can help us understand what kind of crazy crap happens inside stars and supernovas, which is convenient because we can't really test either of those things in the field.
It's at this point that scientists turn to steampunk.
#4. IceCube -- the 1.5-Mile-Tall Polar Neutrino Observatory
There is a telescope more than 7,000 feet tall, made up of over 5,000 sensors dangling from a gigantic array of cables. It exists, right now, and we can't show you a picture of it.
Why? Well, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been designed to detect a very specific kind of light. To do this, it needs to be dark. And we mean dark, as in, "so dark that they had to bury the instrument more than a mile and a half underneath Antarctica" dark. It's so far down that scientists actually measure the distance in skyscrapers.
That's 394 T-rexes in Cracked-speak.
What IceCube is searching for is actually one of the smallest objects in the universe -- the neutrino. A neutrino is so tiny that it can pass through a block of lead one light-year thick as though it were empty space. That means that even though 65 billion of them are passing through each square centimeter of Earth every second, the vast majority of them don't even notice they just flew through a planet.
Scientists first tried using the densest material on Earth to capture a neutrino, but they didn't have David Stern's brain handy.
Every so often, though, a neutrino will collide with an atom. This is kind of like hitting a mosquito with a bullet, but given enough bullets and enough time, it happens eventually. That's where IceCube comes in. When a neutrino does hit something, it makes a tiny spark of light. Five skyscrapers deep under the Antarctic ice is the only place in the world dark enough and yet clear enough to see these collisions occurring.
That's if the Morlocks don't get you first.
Why do scientists care so much? Well, by studying neutrinos, apparently we can discover all sorts of freaky new crap in the universe, from dark matter, to supernovas, to extra dimensions. Or, just maybe, The Thing.
#3. The 5 Miles of Laser at LIGO
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory is a device in Washington that shoots laser beams through two tubes, which sounds boring until you realize the tubes are each about 2.5 miles long, and their purpose is to detect ripples in the fabric of space-time.
Yeah, clearly something from another dimension is going to come crawling out of there.
You just know there's a Shoggoth caged somewhere in the middle.
Einstein theorized that space and time were made of a kind of fabric that wobbles and distorts like ripples in a pond, and that's what gravity is -- you're literally falling into a space ripple. When you make a really huge explosion, according to Einstein's theory, space and time actually do what a lake does when you go dynamite fishing -- it splashes. In Einsteinian terms, the kinds of explosions we're talking about are like when two stars smack into each other, or a galaxy explodes.
LIGO's mission is to test Einstein's theory by looking for the space ripples that should occur after one of these cataclysmic events. By building a laser big enough to destroy the galaxy.
Russia pipes oil. The U.S. pipes the end of all existence.
Ha, no, not really. These lasers are actually set up to detect the ripples when such cataclysms occur elsewhere. Under normal conditions, the two lasers are exactly the same length. And we mean exactly. But when space-time starts getting all wobbly due to some cosmic event or other, it messes with the distance between two points -- one laser literally gets shorter or longer than the other, though only by a millionth of the diameter of a hydrogen atom over the full 2.5 miles (that's not much).
It hasn't actually detected any of these waves yet, but that may mean they just need a bigger laser. If they can only find the funding, NASA is hoping one day to launch LIGO's big sister LISA -- a version of the same thing, but in space, with lasers three million miles long.
Which is approximately this much in wibbly space lines.

Unanswered: Pause viewport refresh
I am removing several views from my viewport, then displaying another. Code works fine, problem is I can see each view being removed and added. Is there a way to "pause" the update of the viewport when I perform these operation and "turn it back on" when I am done?
27 Dec 2012 8:19 PM #2
Are you removing all view items from Viewport and then display new view items on it? So you can move all your view items of the first scene into a container, move view items of the second scene into another container, set Viewport to card layout (without animation to disable visual switching effect) and declare/add these containers as its items. Whenever you want to display a scene, call Ext.Viewport.setActiveItem to show your desired scene. You can also optionally remove last scene after the call setActiveItem

Thanks for the idea. I will look into it.

WACO (February 27, 2013)—A man was arrested early Wednesday morning after a patrol officer witnessed an auto burglary in progress.
The man, who had not been identified, was seen early Wednesday breaking into a vehicle in the 2000 block of Flint Avenue by an officer who was on patrol in the area.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said the suspect ran when he saw the officer but was caught after a short foot chase in the neighborhood.
When the officer searched the suspect he found some change that had been taken from the vehicle.
The suspect was awaiting booking at the McLennan County Jail and faced a charge of burglary of a motor vehicle, Swanton said.
