Based on recent manuscript discoveries such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, is the text of the LXX more reliable than the MT?

There are plenty of web sites that will give you comparatives, however, my broad take on the subject is that the LXX is not generally speaking considered more authoritative than any Hebrew text. The translators were not especially careful (though certainly not sloppy.) The amount of textual variants in the Hebrew text are MUCH smaller than in the Greek, for a number of reasons (one being that Hebrew bibles tended to get destroyed, so that before the DSS, the earliest we had was from the 11th century.) However, there is a whole other matter which is that the text of the Hebrew was deeply encoded with different error checking mechanisms to ensure the quality of trasmission. (For example, the middle word or letter in a book was marked, the number of various letters was counted and noted in the margin and so forth.) If you look at pictures of old Hebrew MSS you will see this, so called "Massorah" all over the document. (At Gone Quiet's request here is a link to more information on this.)
Consequently, before the DSS were discovered the most notable manuscript of the Hebrew Bible was the Leningrad Codex, from the early 11th Century, and comparisons between Isaiah in this manuscript and the complete Isaiah MSS from the DSS showed a breathtakingly few number of variants. A few spelling changes, and grammar changes, but nothing at all substantial. That is after 1200 years of manual copyist transmission. So much for the game of telephone!
So really, there is very little to concern ourselves with in regards to the "reliability of the MT", the data seems to indicate that it contains something extremely close to the originals.
The LXX has some great uses though, for example, it is a great resource in understanding the contemporary usage of the Greek at the time of the New Testament. It is also a useful source of data, since the quotes in the NT from the OT are very frequently either verbatim or close to the text of the LXX.
One other matter, the DSS came on a tour to Chicago where I live a few years ago, and I had the opportunity to see them. If you are a Hebrew buff, I strongly recommend you try to get the opportunity to see them live. They are quite different in many respects from the texts you see in modern printed Bibles, and I think that we tend to get lulled into a false sense that they were printed in the original. Even seeing photographs doesn't quite prepare you for the real thing. (For example, the hand writing is tiny.)
The same is true for the Greek. When you have seen the Bodmer, even in photograph, all your arguments about punctuation, word spacing and paragraphs quickly fly out of the window. N&A along with the printed MT are very sanitized versions of the actual MSS that archeologists dig out of the ground.
Fraser Orr's answer is excellent and I only hope to supplement his excellent answer with a few thoughts regarding "reliability."
When asking a question like this, it's important to state your purpose. Why are you asking this question? The logic is such that they have reliable uses and applications within their own domains and we need to know the domain in which you're asking. As it stands, the question is akin to "Which is more reliable, a Biology textbook or an Entomology textbook?" They are related domains, but have different applications within any overlapping domains between them. Instead, start with what "reliable" means, what are you trying to do, and how you intend to "measure" reliability.
If you're trying to debate the relative merits as a source for translation then according to Fraser's answer, it looks as though the MT/DSS mss. would be better-suited for such a task.
However, if you're looking for the New Testament usage of the Old Testament, the LXX is probably more useful (Why is the Septuagint (LXX) significant?).
From a Biblical Studies perspective, they're both tools to be used in the process of exegesis. How you use them (and the reliability of the results that you receive) depends on the context in which you'd use them. After all, you wouldn't use a jackhammer to set a screw.
I think "which is more reliable" is too imprecise a question. There are situations where the Dead Sea scrolls agree with the MT against LXX and vice-versa, and in some cases there's just no way to know which version is older. One more precise question is how often are the Qumran manuscripts close to MT and how often are they close to LXX. Wikipedia says that according to several experts (Peter Flynt and Emanuel Tov) roughly 60% are in the textual tradition behind MT and roughly 5% are in the textual tradition behind LXX.

I am in the process of purchasing a home. I found the perfect home but of course, I found water stains in the basement walls (mostly close to the floor). I also noticed a small hole at the corner of the foundation, about 2 to 3 inches in diameterCan this be the cause of the water seepage in the basement ? How can it be fixed.
Thank you for the reply. I took a picture and tried to post but won't let me cause I don't have reputation. The sump pump is on the opposite side of the house. The hole is close to another pipe.

If Big Brother Is Not Around, We Invent Him
It's a beautiful day out, and like every other day, rain or shine, it's filled with opportunities for random acts of crumminess. Somewhere out there, some jerk has just dinged a parked car and sped off without leaving a note. Someone else has littered, rather than walking to the wastebasket. Someone else, waiting for a connecting flight, has stiffed the waitress at the airport restaurant. All because no one else was noticing and they could get away with it.
In our sprawling, anonymous societies, we often assume that no one is keeping track of what we're doing. And despite all those surveillance cameras, iPhone video apps and drones in the sky, that's often the case (unless you work at a university, in which case you're probably always being watched by a social psychologist collecting data).
We raise our kids to be inured to such anonymity when it comes to behaving morally. We try to guide their maturation through stages: first, to doing the right thing because they might otherwise get caught and punished; next, to doing right because "what would happen if everyone acted immorally?"; and finally, to the exalted, internalized state when they think that doing anything else is simply out of the question.
All very cool and highfalutin. Still, as experiments show, most of us are more likely to wind up on the straight and narrow when we think we're being observed. In a recent study by Damien Francey and Ralph Bergmuller of the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, scientists scattered litter around a bus stop; nearby was posted a picture of a large pair of eyes or, as a control, flowers. Under the eyes, people were more likely to clean up the litter. Similarly, a picture of eyes in a workplace coffee room run on the honor system tripled the amount of money contributed. In an online economic game, having eyes peer out from the computer screen made the players more generous.
In other words, minuscule cues of being watched elicit pro-social behavior in an anonymous setting. Which brings up the biggest pair of eyes of them all, namely religion. Humans have generated an astonishing variety of theologies, religious rituals and types of deities.
Consider the hunter-gatherer or simple horticultural groups that have peopled the Earth for most of history, a world of small bands or settlements. It turns out that the myriad religions generated by such people rarely feature a deity who keeps an eye on us or cares about human morality.
As shown by Michel Raymond of the University of Montpellier and Frans Roes, judgmental, punitive gods are only commonplace among large, complex cultures (independent of the group's economic system or whether it was missionized by a major religion). In other words, right around the time we evolved societies big enough to contain strangers whom we'd never encounter again, we invented gods who watch us.
Work by Ara Norenzayan of the University of British Columbia, analyzed in his new book, "Big Gods: How Religion Transformed Cooperation and Conflict," shows the power of unconsciously invoking those religious beliefs. Give volunteer test subjects the task of unscrambling a jumble of words into a coherent sequence. If you prime the subjects with religious terms embedded in the scrambled sentences—spirit, divine, God, sacred—they become more generous in an anonymous economic game.
One religious critique of atheism is that without a god(s), you're left adrift without a moral compass. My atheistic response is that doing the right thing is not all that impressive if it requires the specter of hellfire and damnation. But whether it takes literal or metaphorical eyes, or just that voice inside your head—whatever gets you through the moral night—it is a good thing if the result is people treating each other better.

O.C.'s well-heeled philanthropists decked themselves in gorgeous gowns and sleek suits in classic hues, and filled the Island Hotel for what has become a must-attend soiree on our shores. Indeed, CASA's annual Celebration of Children Black & White Ball is always a glamorous occasion. Co-chairwomen Lourdes Nark and Wendy Tenebaum joined some 450 others for a gourmet dinner, silent and live auctions, and late-night dancing. But guests didn't forget the real reason for the bash—to celebrate and support the organization's 29 years of service to abused, neglected and abandoned kids in our community. Attendees raised a toast to Lisa and Stephanie Argyros, and Larry Wilson for their long-standing dedication to the cause. They also listened on as Vanessa Diffenbaugh, author of The Language of Flowers, and former Juvenile Court Presiding Judge Douglas Hatchimonji shared their experiences with the foster-care system—and their words helped net a white-hot $780,000 for the nonprofit. –Photos by Xuong Do of Happy Photos

The Crabby (aka Krabby) Patty primaries
Washington, D.C.,and surroundings vote today (Mark Shields has called them theCrab Cake Primaries; here in tribute to Sponge Bob is a slightly altered version).And here is E.J.

He is on the mark, as usual,for the challenges eachfaces; and a little alarming on what the Democrats face when one of them wins--orfalls in exhaustion.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/11/AR2008021102272.html

Nice to see this column as an adjunct to the excelent piece in the new Commonweal. The seating of Florida/Michigan has been decribed by some as the "elephant in the (democratic party) room."The issue of superdelegates continues to fester as well, not helped by Donna Brazile's comments on the front page of Sunday's NYT.The issue of how the candidate finally chosen is really the one speaking for the peopel wil be so crucial, especially among the young getting involved for the first time.And all the racial/ gender/ class divide and exploitation of that stuff will only maximize that problem!
Does anyone know the last time superdelegates mattered? Were they an issue in 68? Obviously, they are usually irrelevant to the selection process, and so their status is honorary and symbolic. History suggests that they were not intended ever to have an actual impact on the nominating process.Thus, I utterly fail to see why it is not obvious to all Democrats, and so widely affirmed by all Democrats, that the superdelegates should simply vote with the candidate who goes into the convention with the most state delegates. In so far as a Democrat fails to affirm this position, she/he should immediately be required to explain why the voices of few should be allowed to override the voices of many.Margaret: Here in Maryland, we take our crab cakes very seriously. Jumbo lump crab cakes are held together with a special kind of magic, for it seems that only crab is to be found in the cake. Most Americans are, alas, familiar only with cakes made of backfin meat and far, far, too much that is other than crab.
Joe Petit: maybe Your SUPER Crabby Patties are still alive clinging to one another!Any superdelegate experts out there?? If memory serves (sometimes it doesn't), superdelegates were introduced because of the 1968 Democratic convention debacle when the likes of Mayor Richard Daley I and his delegations were thrown out by the insurgents. Weren't superdelegates introduced to allow elected officials a say in the altered primary process introduced after '68. John McGreevy are you there? Bob Nunz: I agree that Donna Brazile's comment were ill-consdiered; it would be much better if the super-Ds were seen to come to their own conclusions in the matter. And ditto the Florida/ Michigan Democratic Party. I think EJ's suggestions that they hold another primary (if that be legal) in each state; it would certainly solve the fight likely to erupt at the national level if those delegates would turn the tide for one candidate or the other.
I thought the supers were instituted after the 1980 election as a supposed corrective to McGovern-Fraser reforms post-1968, which weakened the role of party elders in the selection process. Brazile's overheated comments notwithstanding, the superdelegate rule makes for a strange way to pick a nominee.I don't see how FL and MI can hold a new round of primaries. When? How? Would the DNC allow it? Why? With what money? Does Clinton really want new elections at this point in the campaign?
The polls notwithstanding it is a big question whether Obama can win a general election. Some of his votes are anti-Hillary and no one can say for certain how much that will play in November. His playing on apparent Bill Clinton negative is really deceitful. Right now he is a biq question mark in that regard.Despite the rhetoric he is emerging as a cool, calculating politician. And this is just the beginning.
Bill: cool, calculating politicians who know how to count the votes are what the Dems need. That's what the sainted Richard Daley knew how to do.
As a Republican, I must say this all quite fun to watch. After decades of practicing the divisiveness of "identity politics," the Democrats now find themselves with the first truly viable female candidate running against the first truly viable African-American candidate ... and they're tearing the party apart! What happens next? Will they really duke it out at the convention over which delegates should be counted--the ones picked by the people or the "elite" Superdelegates? Will Florida and Michigan be taught their lesson, denied their rightful place, or forgiven? Can Hillary and Obama run with each other after all this? If not, will each have to choose a surrogate for the other (i.e., will Hillary have to pick some other African-American as her running mate or risk alienating that part of the Democratic base? Or will Obama have to name some other woman as his running mate or alienate that part?) Iornically, the Democrats have been thinking that 2008 was 1968 all over again (unpopular war, unpopular president) but it may turn out to be 1968 in ways they don't enjoy--as in a chaotic Democratic convention, possibly disrupted by anti-war demonstrators, that leaves the American public with a very uneasy feeling about trusting such childish politicians with the White House.
VP?: How about Colin Powell if Hillary wins and Elizabeth Edwards for Obama.
After decades of practicing the divisiveness of identity politics, the Democrats now find themselves with the first truly viable female candidate running against the first truly viable African-American candidate and theyre tearing the party apart!Robert,The last statistics I heard were that over 70 percent of Democrats, both Obama and Hillary Clinton supporters, would be happy to have either as the candidate. That doesn't sound like a party being torn apart. Meanwhile, you have people like Ann Coulter saying that if McCain is the nominee, she will consider supporting Hillary Clinton. All the talk about McCain is about if he can win over the "base." Democrats seem to be a lot happier about the choices they have right now than Republicans. I think you're taking Democratic lemonade and trying to turn it back into lemons!
Some here have asked about the superdelegates when were they instituted, and why. This, from the same Sunday N.Y. Times story referred to above:
Superdelegates, created in 1982, were intended to restore some of the power over the nomination process to party insiders, tempering the zeal of party activists. About 15 to 20 percent of the delegates at Democratic conventions are superdelegates.
David:Ann Coulter and her ilk (the self-identified "very conservative" voters") consitute less than 4 percent of the total electorate, according to The Weekly Standard. Thus, McCain does not need them, given that his support has always been among moderates, independents, and less-left-of-center Democrats. Moreover, the grousing of talk radio/Cable news pundits will only make it harder for the Dems and their wholly owned subsidiary (i.e., the major media) to declare that McCain is some kind of rightwing extremist when the Far Right so vocally rejects him ...As far as the Democrats' identity politics problem, it is a genuine dilemma that is being written about and commented on frequently--the Democrats stand and extremely good chance of either alienating one of the major groups within their base--and I didn't even mention the Hispanics who don't like the fact that Hillary just dumped her leading Hispanic female. I also find it fascinating (re: Margaret Steinfels's suggestion of Colin Powell as Hillary's veep) that Democrats keep thinking the best way to win is with a Republican on their ticket (i.e., Kerry's attempts to woo McCain in 2004) ... seems like their own nominees leave you wanting for something more!
I don't think Powell is a Republican! I don't think Dick Cheney thinks so either.
The Republicans have their own elephant in the room, if you'll pardon the expression - the heavy shadow of GWB.And, just for fun... how about a Hillary and Charley Rangel ticket? All New York! Would that rattle loads of folks chains! And the Bishops would have a Catholic on the ticket to try to intimidate!
This from Ann Olivier about the Louisiana vote (this was connected to the post below: The Nuns did it).Hi, Ms. Steinfels,(I'm the Commonweal blogger who can't always get back to a thread.)You asked me about the women's and Catholics' voting patterns in the primary last week in Louisiana. I haven't been able to find any data about the Catholic voting, but here is a bit about how women voted:"Unlike other in Democratic contests, there was no significant gender gap in Louisiana, according to the AP. Clinton, who is seeking to become the nation's first female president, won the votes of most white men, a group she has lost to Obama in some states but has tended to win in the South. Just more than half of women who said gender was important to their vote went for Clinton, while women who said gender wasn't important went almost 6 in 10 for Obama."From: http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpage/index.ssf?/base/news-10/120262620... for all of your interesting and informative posts on the blog,Ann OlivierNew Orleans
Charlie Rangel is a great idea (Hope that would be okay with the Mrs. who came out for Obama). Charlie is my Congressperson; I think he's great. Reminds me of Richard Daley.
Robert,It seems to me that the major media are extraordinarily fond of McCain, went awfully easy on W for quite a long time, were very hard on Bill Clinton and are being hard on Hillary, and loved Ronald Reagan. In spite of the personal politics of many in the mainstream media, I think they are more influenced by what might make a good story than what might help liberal causes.
Wow, it is fascinating to see your perspective on media bias David. The major media "loved" Reagan? Maybe at his funeral. They were "hard" on Bill Clinton? How so? Sure, he took some shots, but you can't really believe they were unfair or overly harsh. I would love to hear some examples of this harshness.As far as Hillary, it is not so much that they are hard on her, but that so many of them seem to be having Obama-crushes.On McCain, they love him when he's sticking it to the GOP, but come this summer, he will just be a crazy old man - remember, you heard it here.
"As far as the Democrats identity politics problem, it is a genuine dilemma that is being written about and commented on frequentlythe Democrats stand and extremely good chance of either alienating one of the major groups within their baseand I didnt even mention the Hispanics who dont like the fact that Hillary just dumped her leading Hispanic female."I think "alienting" is Dobson saying that he won't support McCain (and suggesting to his followers that they don't do the same), despite the fact that McCain is going to be the Republican nominee. Despite certain interest groups lining up behind one or the other Democratic candidate, I don't see any significant leaders of major groups saying that they will sit the election out if their choice does not win. Do you?
Unagidon: Do you think that men, anglo and african-american, or some critical proportion, will sit it out if Hillary is the nominee? Or go for the warrior--John McCain?
David:As a rare breed--a Republican who also holds two degrees in journalism and has worked only in the media all my life--I must praise you for unlocking the one great secret to the way the media works: although the media is at heart liberally biased, you are right that there is one thing that trumps even that bias--a great story! If you recall, early on in this election cycle--I mean last summer--when McCain was the presumed frontrunner, the media was extremely hard on him, pointing out--shock and horror!--that he is a conservative Republican. Then he was a failed candidate, so he was no longer of interest. But his "resurrection" is a great story--thus, whatever positive coverage he currently receives.
I most Democratic men of any and all stripes are so anxious to clean house of the Republican influence, particularly "more of the same GWB s**t" that McCain will bring, that we will gladly vote for Hillary if Obama is not the candidate.
Margaret: My 12 year old son informs me that there is a spelling error in the title of your post. It seems that the sandwich of choice in Bikini Bottom is the Krabby Patty.
"Unagidon: Do you think that men, anglo and african-american, or some critical proportion, will sit it out if Hillary is the nominee? Or go for the warriorJohn McCain?"No.There are really three political parties in the United States. The main party is the business party with a Republican and Democratic branch. On the right is a small party made up of religious "conservatives". On the left is a small party made up of "progressives". The small party candidates have been knocked out. Romney was to the right of McCain in the business party, and now he's out. So there is one Republican and tow Democratic business party people left, with Obama being to the left of Hillary.People have strong preferences for Hillary and Obama (or I should say that there are vocal groups that have strong preferences; I think that this idea of polarization is overstated.) But the real racist and sexist votes (in the sense of people wanting to support racism and sexism institutionally) moved to the far right a long time ago. So men will vote for Hillary if she is nominated and whites will vote for Obama. No doubt about it.I will say that this is helped along by the Republicans having had a sad run of remarkably incompetent people in high office over the last 7 years; not just in the White House but in Congress and in Bush's choices for the Supreme Court. They really don't have anything positive to run on, so we hear the old tired 1980's themes of "tax and spend liberals" and stuff like that. If Congress had been competently run under the Republicans, they would not be in this boat. They could have claimed to be replacing a bad leader with a good one. But now they are being forced to distance themselves from themselves. The best they can come up with is something we see in business with losers all the time. That is, the claim that however bad it was under the incumbent, it will be worse under someone iwith a different approach. I live in Illinois 14, Dennis Hastert's old district. He has had to endorse one of his worst enemies because the GOP gene pool is rather thin out here. This person is running as a "reform" candidate, despite being so endorsed. It's too bad Evelyn Waugh is dead.So the Republican fantasy that the Democratic Party will somehow self destruct in time for their mediocre candidate to win, the country in general is tired of Republican rule. The last substantive hope of the GOP, that the economy would not tank while they were still in control, is being dashed at this moment.
Thanks to all for a lively discussion. And since questions have been raised, let me add, I do not believe that Charlies Rangel will be Hillary's VP--but that's fine, he'll go on being my Congressmen. Except for the Harvard Law degree (Rangel's is from St. John's), his story is not that different from Obama's. You can read it all in "And I haven't Had a Bad Day Since: From the Streets of Harlem to the Halls of Congress," his autobiography.
Charlie Rangel is also, I believe, a decorated war veteran (Korea) who has been married for more than 50 years. A good guy all the way around.
Yes, Korea. The title "And I Haven't Had a Bad Day Since," is a reference to his suviving combat there. He also has a great broad New York accent; I once ran into him on the shuttle and recognized his voice before I say him; let's just say he is the consumate campaigner. And as I recall from a post below, he has introduced legislation to bring back the draft. I do believe we'd have better demonstrations if more people were confronted by the reality of serving in Iraq.
Just want to chime in that I rember Charley from my days working in Harlem long ago - a great congressional rep. a fine Christian gentleman and a helluva funy guy.When I lok at some of the blowhards in Congress today...

WHOIS privacy with the domain registrar gives some degree of protection, but I wonder if a sleuth could trace the administrator of S3 buckets. And are there any measures I can take to avoid this, to achieve some level of anonymity?
If your campaigns are merely controversial you should be fine as it would be exceedingly hard to determine the owner of a S3 account merely from the URL (assuming, of course, you don't do something completely moronic like use your full name for the bucket). You may also want to make sure that neither your username/email address associated with the account can be easily traced back you or would otherwise be something that could be guessed at and provide an attacker a path to compromise the account via a password reset.
Ultimately, the security of your identity is only as good as:
I mention controversial as opposed to illegal or the appearance of illegality because Amazon will give up your information in a heartbeat in response to a valid request from law enforcement. Depending on where you are and how controversial the subject is, you might also get exposed in response to civil suit and act of discovery.

It seems obvious that is has something to do with the bottles on the shelves behind the safe. I don't know if it's due to my brightness configuration (perhaps too dark), but I wasn't able to see anything over there, or to find any item in the bottles... So where is the combination ?
The code you're looking for is behind the bottles.
The first key code combination in LGS games, and since their demise companies who follow on in their spirit, is 451 or a variant thereof (e.g. 45100). This is a reference to Fahrenheit 451.
This means you can guess the combination quickly without even looking!
This tradition started in System Shock 1 and is followed by System Shock 2, Deus Ex, BioShock and now Dishonored :)
Have you look this video on Youtube?
Thats all wrong. The code is 528. Look at the note it says 3 months. Month of wind, month of seeds, and month of ice. Thats the order. In the book you will see different months all saying the month of whatever. And each month starting with wind is 5, seeds is 2, and ice is 8. Therefore the code is 528. I put it in myself and it opened.

Long name got him attention; superior play earned him respect
WATERBURY -- What do Matt Snell, Joe Namath, John Riggins, and Waterbury native and former Kennedy High football star Carl Barzilauskas have in common?
Each was a first-round draft choice of the New York Jets.
Carl Barzilauskas, a Town Plot and Tinker School product, was one of pro football's most feared defensive linemen. Barzo emerged in the grizzled, Harbinger of Doom-era of NFL linemen, when a burly, mustachioed menace could be as famous as a quarterback.
Barzilauskas never dreamed of gridiron glory. He wanted to be an electrician. He never played youth football. "I was too big," he said by telephone from his home in Bloomington, Ind.
But the day the 6-4, 280 pound freshman first walked through the door at Kennedy High, he was immediately the biggest kid in the building. Barzilauskas found his way to football practice. He thought he'd give the game a try. He barely survived a week.
He was big, with no idea what it was to be football tough. Fortunately, Kennedy coaches Charley Donato and Angelo Laudisi did. "Charley had them beat the (crap) out of me," Barzilauskas said.
He threw his helmet at Donato and walked off the field. Donato probably wondered if he'd ever see this lump of clay again.
"Once I realized that he was trying to make me tough, I understood," Barzilauskas said.
Barzo was an All-New England star and part of Kennedy's city championship team of 1968. That was the only football banner on the gym wall for four decades.
Barzilauskas was a shop guy, and good around a work bench. Those skills came in handy when he was issued a leather football helmet from the school's Leavenworth/Croft days. It did not have a face mask, so Barzilauskas made one in shop class.
"I welded together parts of old Chevrolet linkage, and I screwed it to the helmet," he said. "I wrapped electrical tape around the mask so that it looked like the other helmets."
After his junior season football became the preferred career path. He graduated Kennedy in 1969, spent one year at Cheshire Academy, then went west to Indiana University where he played under two legendary coaches, John Pont and Lee Corso.
A Sporting News All-American, Barzilauskas played in the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl. He played his entire senior season with a broken left foot.
A 1974 first round pick, 6th overall, Barzilauskas was an instant celebrity in New York. The press said he was the biggest man to ever play for the Jets. The tabloids loved his name.
"One cartoon had me walking on the field between two players, the guy on the left had the first part of my name on his back and the guy on my right the other half."
He made the NFL All-Rookie team but never duplicated that success. Injuries piled up. He got married. A son was born. Three days after the birth, his first wife handed him the baby and skipped town.
"I had to take care of him, alone, and I did not know how to do it," he said. "During a game I worried about him because he was with a baby sitter that I did not know. It was tough."
Barzo played four seasons with the Jets, two with Green Bay, and retired after the 1979 season due to a neck injury. Two knee operations, the chronically bad left foot, and arthritis in the neck are football rewards that Barzilauskas, now 62, carries with him today.
"That is something you have to consider when you play football," he said, "but I would do it all over again."

Bowling Green Police say early in the morning of January 13, a man entered the Shell gas station at the corner of Scottsville Road and Lovers Lane, and demanded money. Witnesses believe the man left on foot, walking north away from the store.

In lots of games, there are ways (besides trade) to exchange items, like in-game mail. Is there something like it on Diablo?
There are only two ways to exchange items with another player in Diablo III.
So for now, there is no real way to trade items (in a way protected from potential scams).
You can trade items between your own characters through the stash, which is shared, along with gold, across your account.
For trades with other players, you can use one of the auction houses (real money or gold), or trade while in an active game.
Well if you mean with other players you can always drop items on the floor.
If you mean within your characters,all your non hardcore heroes share the same stash.
If you are in a grp with another player you can trade them as well. If you press the trade button, a trade popup box will appear.

How do I request someone I'm following on Twitter to follow me? I can't reply to them, so they must not be following me. Am I blocked from them?
When you follow someone, they can be alerted via email that you have just become their newest follower. In their settings, there's a section on Activity notifications, one of which is:
When they're sent this email, it prompts them to check out your profile. They can either leave it at that or follow you back.
Busy and famous people probably won't have this set up as it creates too much noise in their inbox.
If you want to reply to someone, you can check out one of their tweets and click the Reply link. That will give you a pop-up with their Twitter handle prefilled. Enter your reply and if you're not blocked, the reply tweet will show up in their @Mentions tab.
If you're looking to Direct Message someone, then they would have to follow you before you can do so.
If they don't reply or follow you back, and you haven't been blocked, they don't want to reply or follow you back.
If you are following the respective user, you are not blocked for him/her.

Using the first 100,000 values of $\varphi(n)$ it seems that the following is true.
Let $\mathcal A$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{N}$, $\forall n\in \mathbb{N} \setminus \mathcal{A}$, $\displaystyle \frac{1}{\varphi(2n)} - \frac{1}{\varphi(2n+1)} \geqslant \frac{1}{2n\ln (2n)} $.
Is this true? Is there a stronger lower bound?
P.S.: I looked at Handbook of Number Theory I by Mitrinović and Sándor which has a lot of info about $\varphi (n)$ but it doesn't appear there.

Logitech has a Unifying receiver that you can add several devices using the same USB device. Is this supported in Ubuntu and if so do I have to additionally configure something so that when adding a new wireless device it gets recognized by the same receiver.
I've a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and M525 mouse here, both are using the Logitech Unifying USB receiver. They works out-of-the box, Plug & Play!
Having that said, Logitech only supports Unifying software for Windows and Mac OS X. For Linux, I have created the
This will fetch the sources and install the program to
A graphical tool is also available, Solaar. It has better support for functionality of newer devices such as swapping the functionality of FN keys. It is available though the
I would like to complement Lekensteyn's answer by including a feature I did not know about. I have a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse and when the batteries were almost out, I got the following message:
So the Unifying receiver is not only supported by it offers (Depending on the device) several features like the image above. This image was with Ubuntu 12.10
On Ubuntu 14.04 with version 0.9.2 you can see the following:
I recommend to read this excellent article about Logitech Unifying Technology written by Lekensteyn.
Note that on latest versions, there is no need for the PPA as this already comes in the Universe Repository with the
Also see the list of current supported devices and to install it if you are not on a latest Ubuntu version simply run the following lines:
Logout and login again and Solaar should appear on your top panel. You can also execute the app from the Dash by typing "Solaar".
Here are some images of several Logitech mice working together with one unified receiver:
Solaar offers an easier way to know how much battery you have left, how much time you have let, which mouse you are using and more. It also offers special features like detecting if the battery is charging:
The following 2 images are from Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit With Solaar:
The first device you plug in just works, but if you get another keyboard or mouse then you need to pair it with the existing receiver. Here's a script you can use to pair your devices on Linux:
Works great.
I have a Logitech K360 Keyboard, Logitech Wireless Trackpad, and a Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse, all working through the same unifying receiver.
I configured the devices initially on a Windows machine, then moved the unifying receiver to my Linux box (running ubuntu 12.04). All of the devices work well most of the time.
I have encountered two issues:
The first issue is that I would like to configure different speeds for the trackpad and the mouse, but they are jointly recognised as a mouse, so there is only one configuration possible.
The second issue is that from time-to-time, I appear to lose the signal. In other words, none of the devices will work - or they will stop working. I encounter this on Windows as well - just one of those things. I pull the receiver from the usb slot and then re-insert it and the signal is restored - the devices work.
I am happy with the arrangement, although I do wish that I could find a solution to the first issue.
Hope this helps,
if you are more new to Ubuntu , follow these steps this is the same answer as above but in steps using: https://github.com/treeder/logitech_unifier
click on the files autopair.sh and then click on raw, then save as, save it in any path you like. now go back and download unify.c the same way and put it into the same folder. now either right click on the autopair.sh and in permissions allow excuting it. now you should be able to run it by double clicking if not , press ctrl+L and copy that path push ctrl+shift+t write cd then push ctrl+shift+v and press enter now write
and press enter now you can run it by writing ./autopair.sh and pressing enter
that should be all telling you to turn off the device and press enter then you turn on the device and that's it , repeat for more devices. I could guess if the compiler doesnt work you need to install build essentials. by running
now do the above instructions again . if it still is no go, maybe you can pair using another computer.
One of the strengths of Linux is that if you have a problem, someone will find an elegant solution to that problem - and they'll share it.
In this case, a gentleman named Daniel Pavel created an application called Solaar. This application provides a very elegant interface to manage the Logitech Unifying Receiver and the devices attached to it.
This article describes the application and provides installation instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/pair-unpair-logitech-unifying-devices.html
I have been using Solaar for a while and I have found it to be very useful.
I hope this helps,

Writer reveals he's an uninformed voter
James A. Pabilonia's Jan. 13 letter, "Racist, greedy and uninformed voters cast pall over America," demonstrated that he has no idea what the tea party is all about, or that today's racism resides mostly in the Democratic Party, with the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
It also is obvious that Mr. Pabilonia has no idea how a free market works. As I read his letter, I thought to myself, "Here is a gentleman who is doing a perfect job of describing himself." There is an uninformed voter!

CIAC proposes changes for football playoffs, practices
CHESHIRE — The CIAC football committee has spoken: Playoff quarterfinals are out, and limits on contact drills and scrimmages in practice are in.
Those were the two major decisions made at Wednesday's meeting, which lasted about three hours. The football committee's recommendations will be presented to the CIAC Board of Control at its meeting this afternoon.
The most notable decision came with regard to the postseason structure, which came under fire at the end of last season after five teams played an unprecedented 15 games in 14 weeks — including four games in 16 days at the end of the year.
The three-round playoff format that has been in use since 2010 will be eliminated next season. Thirty-two teams will still make the postseason, but the quarterfinals usually played the Tuesday after Thanksgiving were eliminated.
Instead, a first round of games will be played Saturday, Dec. 6, and a final round will be played Saturday, Dec. 13. With 32 teams in the postseason, that would leave eight teams remaining after the second round.
That leaves ambiguity as to whether the CIAC will add four more playoff classes or declare co-champions in each of the four current divisions. The CIAC football committee has not decided on a resolution for the championship, but it hopes to do so at a meeting next month.
One of the most important goals of the committee was to keep the number of qualifying teams at 32, according to Wolcott Principal Joe Monroe. That eliminated the idea of returning to the six-division, 24-team format used from 2002-09.
"There were many people who did not want to see a reduction of teams in the playoffs," said Monroe, one of two dozen members of the committee. "We worked very hard to get to the current number of teams, which gives more opportunities to more student-athletes. I don't ever want to see that diminished."
At the same time, the committee felt that the quarterfinals played the Tuesday after Thanksgiving created an unsafe situation for teams.
"Playing three games in a nine-day period starting with Thanksgiving, it's been decided that it's just too much," Monroe said.
Monroe stressed that the elimination of quarterfinals is a temporary fix and that the committee would like to find a way to incorporate those games in the future. That will have to wait until 2015, though, while the committee figures out how to structure the 2014 playoffs.
"Will there be eight divisions? Will there be — I hesitate to say it — co-champions? I don't know yet," Monroe said. "We will discuss that at our meeting next month."
Everything about the structure for the upcoming regular season will remain the same. The 11-game schedule will remain in effect, and Thanksgiving will still be the final day of the regular season. The committee nixed the idea of starting the playoffs before or on Thanksgiving.
"You don't want to make Thanksgiving a nonevent," Monroe said. "If you start the playoffs before Thanksgiving, then Thanksgiving would just be a game with no implications. Nobody really wants to go there."
The other major development from the meeting was the introduction of limits on contact in practice. Teams will be limited to 120 minutes of contact, plus one scrimmage, per week in the preseason. That number shrinks to 90 minutes per week during the regular season and 60 minutes per week during the postseason.
A 120-minute restriction was also placed on the optional spring practice session, which encompasses intrasquad scrimmages.
"I'm happy about the legislation that will go about the contact minutes," Monroe said. "That's very good for player safety."

I have tested the swiping left to right and vise versa out and it works perfectly without errors in Chrome 5.x, FireFox 3.5, a 2.1 Android Emulator instance, and a first gen iPod Touch. The Safari debug console on my iPod Touch shows no errors. However, I cannot get it to work on my actual Android device (Sprint HTC Hero running 2.1 Android). I should also point out that the Carousel example doesn't run on my Android device or iPod. Is there anything that would prevent it from running an actual Android device but allow it to run on pretty much everything else? Anything I should double check?
Issue #2:
Above I said the swiping back and forth works on my iPod Touch. However, I cannot scroll the page vertically. I can scroll vertically on everything else I test, even the actual Android device. Once again, any direction I should go in to debug this?
It seems that the TouchEventManager is getting in the way of normal scrolling. On line 148 e.preventDefault() is called and that blocks the default scroll behavior on the iPod. Commenting that line out scrolling works properly. I don't think that is a "good" solution though. Any thoughts?
If you would like to see it in action you can visit the mobile version of the site: http://184.108.40.206:61110/
U: demo1
P: account
It will load the mobile version of the site if your user agent contains android, ipad, iphone, or ipod. Note* If you change your user agent in chrome it will think it is a touch device and the events won't fire while using your mouse. However, if you don't change the user agent then the mobile version of the site won't load...you will get the desktop browser version. Seems to work in FireFox anyway so maybe try that?!?
Looking for any direction...

Own a Piece of Divine, Sylvester, and the Cockettes
If you are old enough to remember these posters for the Nocturnal Dream Shows at the Palace Theatre in San Francisco, it will be a happy (if maybe dizzy from drugs) walk down camp memory lane. If this is your first view of these historic pieces, they are a great record of the most delirious days of post-Stonewall San Francisco nightlife.
The artist Todd Trexler, best remembered for his iconographic posters and handbills for the Cockettes and Nocturnal Dream Shows at the Palace Theatre in San Francisco in the early '70s, has released reproductions of the famed posters for the first time in 40 years. These posters feature rising new stars of the time, including Randy Newman, Tower of Power, the Famed Cockettes, Sylvester, and Lady Divine — who trimmed her name to Divine after her live performances with the Cockettes.
The concerts and the Nocturnal Dream Shows were famed as much for their audiences — queers, beatniks, intellectuals — as for the performers, and Drexler's posters could be found on the kitchen walls of hippies, freaks, and gay men all over the city. As time passed and the success of the shows increased, the posters evolved from single color pen-and-ink drawings on inexpensive white paper to multicolored and color-separated images using mixed media and photography.
Trexler, who worked with Divine on the Vice Palace poster and photo shoot, says, "I absolutely adored working with Glenn [Milstead, Divine's given name] on the few occasions that I did. The day that we planned to take photos for the Vice Palace poster I'll never forget. Glenn and I sat in the backseat of a car with [business partner] Sebastian in the front. We drove around San Francisco looking for a place to use as a backdrop. We ended up at the Palace of Fine Arts and decided it was perfect. Glenn was in makeup, bib overalls with the sides split to make them large enough. He had tossed a couple of '50s net prom dresses in the trunk of the car. He slipped into a pair of open-toed backless mules and wrapped the prom dresses around himself and instantly became Divine. I took the photo, and that poster is an all-time favorite of my poster career!"
Trexler, who currently lives in Seaside, Calif., later became a registered nurse and HIV/AIDS educator and says he hadn't thought about those San Francisco days until a few years ago when Strange de Jim contacted him for his book San Francisco's Castro. Thus began his foray into his own archives. See them all at ToddTrexlerPosters.com.

Does anyone know a good book or article on the History of the Fourier transform? It's first appearance (of the transform) and use in particular? Or at least some source with some historical information on that matter.
There is plenty about the Fourier series but I couldn't find much illuminating about the transform yet.


text:
Consider the matrices $A = \frac{1}{5}\begin{pmatrix}5&0&0\\\ 2&2&1\\\ 2&1&2\end{pmatrix}$, $B = \frac{1}{5}\begin{pmatrix}2&2&1\\\ 0&5&0\\\ 1&2&2\end{pmatrix}$, and $C = \frac{1}{5}\begin{pmatrix}2&1&2\\\ 1&2&2\\\ 0&0&5\end{pmatrix}$.
The group $G\subset GL_3(\mathbb{C})$ they generate is free of rank 3. However, one also has:
$A^\infty := \lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}A^k = \begin{pmatrix}1&0&0\\\ 1&0&0\\\ 1&0&0\\\ \end{pmatrix}$, and similarly $B^\infty = \begin{pmatrix}0&1&0\\\ 0&1&0\\\ 0&1&0\\\ \end{pmatrix}$ and $C^\infty = \begin{pmatrix}0&0&1\\\ 0&0&1\\\ 0&0&1\\\ \end{pmatrix}$.
This leads to three "infinite" relations among $A$,$B$, and $C:$
$A^\infty B = B^\infty A$
$B^\infty C = C^\infty B$
$C^\infty A = A^\infty C$
Of course these are not true group relations since they involve infinite products and furthermore these infinite products are singular, hence do not actually lie in the group generated by $A$, $B$, and $C$, but rather are relations among elements of the "boundary" of this group (in an appropriate sense of the word boundary).
Question 1: I am wondering if anyone has studied such infinite/boundary relations on groups, and in particular if they have any usefulness in understanding any properties of the original group.
Question 2: Suppose $H$ is another free group of rank 3 in $GL_3(\mathbb{C})$. $H$ is of course isomorphic to $G$, but may not have any boundary relations. Is there a way to use the infinite relations to define a "stronger" notion of isomorphism which says that $G$ and $H$ are not isomorphic since they do not have the same infinite relations? Edit: Upon further thought, this latter question is more of a question about the particular representation of $G$ chosen, so perhaps it is not so interesting? Or maybe something aside from the usual stuff about isomorphism of representations might be relevant?
Motivation: Awhile back I was studying harmonic functions on the Sierpinski Gasket; these three matrices arise naturally in the evaluation of such functions. In this context the infinite relations above are equivalent to the statement that such functions are well-defined at each point of the Gasket. The relations above were occasionally useful for proving various facts, but at the time I never bothered to consider them in the context of group relations.
More generally they can arise in studying subgroups of $GL_n(R)$ for $R$ a commutative unital ring. In this case the "boundary" of the subgroup may be a subset of the singular elements of $Mat_n(R)$ and one can ask questions about relations between elements of this "boundary".

text: I see that the dragon version of Rarity is in the top 50 which is pretty cool because that means people liked the lesson. Today I will show you "how to draw dragon Pinkie Pie", step by step. I tried to take it up a notch with Pinkie Pie because she is just so adorable. I wanted her to have a small set of dragon teeth as well as a little slithering tongue. The hair is the perfect touch because it adds character and spunk to this already awesome MLP character in dragon form. The legs and talons are going to be easy to replicate because they are rather large. I had a lot of fun with creating this concept, and I know you will too. So go ahead and have fun drawing dragon Pinkie Pie, you'll be glad you did.
