WINTERSVILLE - Revenge is a dish best served cold.
The Indian Creek girls basketball team avenged 79-66 loss to Wheeling Park just over two weeks ago by dispatching the Patriots, 71-57, on frigid Thursday evening.
"Amazing," said Indian Creek head coach Erin DeSantis about the win. "We gutted it out because that was our third game this week. Monday out at Union Local was a battle, and last night against Cambridge was rough. We have kids with the flu, and we've got kids with back, ankle and knee injuries.

UP STRONG — Indian Creek's Kiarra Kamarec goes up for two of her game-high 25 points during the Redskins' 71-57 victory over Wheeling Park Thursday in Wintersville.
-- Fred Younce
"We're just beat up, and for them to put out that kind of effort, I couldn't be prouder. I know we can be competitive, but I am just so pleased with their progress."
Much like the Patriots used a big second quarter to take control of the first encounter, the Redskins grabbed control of Thursday's matchup in the second stanza.
With Park leading 23-22, Indian Creek went on a 10-0 spurt to close the opening half to hold a 32-23 advantage at intermission.
Bethany Davis led Creek in the second quarter with eight of her 14 points. The freshman went 4 for 4 from the foul line in the stanza and 8 of 8 for the game.
"That's been the best part about this year," said DeSantis. "It hasn't always had to be our bigs (Bre Berryman and Kiarra Kamarec) trying to get it done.
"We've got the personnel to go along with them. There were a couple of times we kicked it out and our guards were able to take advantage of it. They'd drive to the hoop and make something happen. That was to our advantage."
The Redskins pushed their lead to 50-36 after three quarters. Kiarra Kamarec was near unstoppable in the quarter, scoring 12 of her game-high 25 points, including knocking down a pair of shots from behind the arc.
Park pulled no closer than eight the rest of the way as Creek continued to have success offensively. The Redskins lead reached as high as 19 with two minutes left.
Bre Berryman was Bre Berryman for Indian Creek, joining Kamarec and Davis in double-figures with 22 points while adding 21 rebounds.
Brooke Mains added eight points and five assists for the Redskins. The junior point guard's ball-handling was key to Creek beating Park's press.
"I think she got a little frustrated a of couple times because she didn't feel she was doing her best," said DeSantis of Mains. "I told her, 'Brooke, we have to have you on the floor. You're in charge out there. Whether or not you're scoring or not you make the offense go.' She gutted through that because she was hurt.
"There were times I almost pulled her out because of the injury a couple times, but she said, 'No I'm staying in.' As a point guard that's what you want. You want that toughness."
Emily Puskarich was top scorer for the Patriots with 21 points. Haley Robb added 15 - all in the second half. Both sharpshooters knocked down five three-pointers.
Wheeling Park head coach Dee Davis replied, "no comment," when approached after the contest.
The win gets Indian Creek (15-5) ready to travel to Morgantown Monday for the semifinals of the OVAC Class 5A Tournament.
"They should have been in, and had they had a game Monday night they probably would have been in the tournament," said DeSantis of the Patriots. "The biggest thing is these schools are much bigger, but we're competing against them. University, Morgantown, John Marshall, Wheeling Park have 900-1,200 kids. We have 500 kids here.
"To me that's more a win than anything. It doesn't matter how small you are, it's how much heart you have. They had the heart tonight.
"It's what drove them tonight. I don't care if we only have eight kids. I'll take our eight kids versus anyone else's kids because they have heart and they gutted it out."

I woke up, and removed myself from bed with the cautiousness of a man who has just undergone complicated surgery.
Unbelievable. Despite my memory rendering the last few hours in similar detail to a five year old's picture of the Sistine Chapel, I was all right. Praise be indeed!
I congratulated myself on my iron constitution. Today would be a day of winding Highland roads and tight schedules. Not a day to be under the weather.

Our trip to Islay had gotten off to a simply dreadful start. Having driven for many, many hours from home, we thought we'd planned for every eventuality. We had stocked the car with at least twenty bottles of booze, a fine selection of meats, and a small travel humidor. Of course we all had our gentlemanly evening wines, stowed in our suitcases, as well as a modest selection of liqueurs, cocktails and Ron de Jeremy. We felt confident we would be making the most of what was, essentially, a week off. More...

Does it make sense to keep the Pomodoro watch on the top of all windows (computer) - all the time?
I mean is it helpful and sensible to "keep an eye" always (while working) on the Pomodoro watch ticking or is it a plain distraction?
Have some studies been done in this matter?

WEIRTON - Close to 200 Weir High students left school early Thursday to catch a baseball game in Pittsburgh.
They weren't "ditching" though, as the game was a reward for the students' performance on state standardized tests.
Last spring, Weir High School, working with officials from Hancock County Savings Bank, came up with a plan to recognize students for their work on the West Virginia Educational Standards Test, or WESTEST, which measures students' knowledge of state content standards in the areas of science, social studies, math and reading/language arts.

STUDENTS REWARDED — Students from Weir High School gathered before heading to Pittsburgh Thursday to watch the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres. The game was a reward for students' performances on the state WESTEST in the spring. Standing with the students are Hancock County Savings Bank President Cathy Ferrari and Vice President Caroll Rosenlieb. The bank paid for all of the students' tickets. -- Contributed
BOUND FOR PITTSBURGH — Approximately 170 Weir High students boarded buses bound for Pittsburgh Thursday morning to see the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres. The baseball game was a reward from the school and Hancock County Savings Bank to students who had improved their scores in reading and math in state standardized testing offered in the spring. The bank purchased all of tickets. -- Craig Howell
Students who had improved their scores over the previous year would receive a ticket to a Pirates game, provided by the bank.
According to Weir High School Principal Dan Enich, 187 students qualified for the tickets with improved scores in both reading and math, with 170 choosing to attend Thursday's game.
"We've very proud of our kids," Enich said. "They've done a great job and deserve this."
Enich thanked Hancock County Savings Bank for working to put the event together, which also included a pep rally and afternoon of games last spring featuring a visit by the Pittsburgh Pirates Parrot mascot.
"They bought all the tickets and have helped the whole way," Enich said, adding the bank has been a great business partner for the school.
In particular, Enich noted the contributions of the late Barbara Matey, who had been the bank's vice president of human resources. Matey died Sept. 1 following a long illness.
"She was instrumental in all of this," Enich said. "We sadly miss her."
The Pirates won the game by a score of 10-1.

BLUM (February 15, 2013)--Hill County deputies raided a mobile home Thursday just south of Blum, seized what authorities described as a significant amount of drugs, and arrested one man.
Hill County Sheriff's Lt. Kyle Cox said deputies raided the mobile home at around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on Oak Run Road, just south of Blum, armed with a search warrant for methamphetamine.
The deputies seized what Cox said was a significant amount of the drug and arrested Shane Arrington, 35, who was held Friday in the Hill County Jail awaiting bond.
He's facing charges of possession of controlled substance more than 4 grams, but less than 200 grams and theft of property more than $20,000, but less than $100,000, a jail records clerk said.
Cox said the search was the culmination of a lengthy investigation by Hill County deputies.

Why do we use the word undiscovered? As far as I know, un– and dis– have the same negative meaning; why don't we just say "covered"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Because "discovered" has over time developed its a meaning independent of its roots, and is not the converse of "covered" in modern usage. (That would be "uncovered.") We therefore use a more complex word—undiscovered—to express this concept.
Because English language can express more florid concepts than mathematics. I am sure we could design a more logical language based on signed (positive/negative) concepts and I think it may have been tried before (1984 doublethink).
If I say I am tracted - by your logic that means I am focused rather than distracted. But if my point is not so much that I am focused but more that my focus has not been disturbed and I make no comment about whether I am focused or not - I could say I am undistracted.
I'm no etymology expert, but this is an interesting question. Might it be because covered suggests an intention to keep something secret, thus creating the need for an alternative word that means "something we just haven't found yet but that isn't an intentional secret"?
Un- and dis- don't have the same meaning. For example uninterested means not interested while disinterested means not biased. Dis- has a different effect on covered from un-. If something is uncovered it could mean that it has never been covered or hidden. If something is discovered it means that it has changed state from being covered to being uncovered. It would also usually be that whatever it is has been covered by ignorance - once something is known, the veil of ignorance has been lifted and the thing has been discovered. That's why you'd say undiscovered instead of hidden.
In general, negative prefixes do not cancel each other like free-standing negative words do (in standard English). "Uncover" means "to remove the cover from something." "Un-uncover" (insofar as it is a word at all) means "to put the cover back on something from which the cover had been previously removed." The simple word "cover" lacks the sense of putting back.

Because you have talked about some things over the mature dating UK site, when you get her number contact her the next day, never ever wait too long to call her.

The City of Shasta Lake is trying to dry off from the weekend's storm.
The Windsor Estates neighborhood had quite a bit of cleaning up and re-securing to do.
Rodger Babbitt lives on Pembroke Lane.
He said the rocks and bark in his yard washed down a hill. They formed a deep pathway that down this front yard. Most of the rocks and bard ended up scattered on the sidewalk and street.
He's cleaned most of it up, but on Monday he said he still cannot believe it happened.
"I was startled actually. It takes a lot of force and that's why the rock was there to keep the water from pushing down your brown wood landscaping. For it to push the rock on out of the way and to just dig its own channel, that's a pretty strong force of nature there," Babbitt said.
Babbitt said he put calls into Forest Design, which is a landscaping company, so they could help him secure the debris before more rain comes in.
A man who lives on Avington Way but did not want to reveal his name had some cleaning up to do as well.
He had to completely water down his backyard after mud washed in. Most of it came from a hill behind his home and even turned his pool a murky brown color.

6 Great Martial Arts for Killing a Man With Your Bare Hands
Were you one of those guys who took Tae Kwon Do or Karate lessons as a kid? Did you learn to break little boards with your fist, and dream of becoming the baddest man on the planet?
Well, consider your dreams shattered like so many bones. There are martial arts taught around the world that are designed to break people, not boards, and you've still got some learning to do, kid.
Starting with...
#6. Sambo
Country of Origin: Russia
Russia is a country with a history of diverse, if not incredibly numerous, invaders, having been attacked by the Mongols, the Huns, the French, and the Germans at one time or another. This meant the Russians had many chances to learn new ass-beating techniques, often using the martial arts from the last invader to crush the nuts of the next one.
Over time the Russians developed a particularly brutal form of wrestling on the steppes. Then during the Communist Revolution of 1917, Russian martial artists decided that man-handling, joint tearing, and bone breaking just weren't good enough for the communist Soviet people, so they modified it into sambo, which, in Russian, is an acronym for "Self-Defense Without Weapons."
They originally taught it to the Red Army and government agents, but with crime on the rise, sambo has seen a lot of use by bodyguards, who added a few extra moves like "killing your attacker with his own knife, making him look like a giant douche in front of everybody."
Sambo in Action:
Here's a sambo training session with some old bald guy with balls bigger than our fists teaching students how to make anybody who assaults you with a knife feel outrageously stupid for a few seconds before they bleed out.
We're pretty sure that on the street, the next move involves going ahead and tearing the dude's arm off.
#5. Muay Thai
Country of Origin: Thailand
Like many countries in southeast Asia, Thailand has been violated more times than (tranny prostitute joke omitted for being too easy). So, like the Russians, they got lots of practice at punching people to death. Thus was born Muay Thai, a.k.a. The Art of Eight Limbs. Yeah, eight limbs. Muay Thai counts the knees and elbows as separate limbs and focuses on using those "limbs" as clubs, slamming the opponent with them as hard and often as possible.
No, they don't dick around. While other martial arts have techniques called "Shifting Sands" and "Transposing Shadows," Muay Thai has techniques called "Throwing Buffalo Punch," which can take down a Buffalo in one hit. Yes, they were apparently invaded by buffaloes at some point.
The art is still practiced in Thailand today both as an awesome way of killing people and as a sport, complete with boxing gloves. However, padded fists don't help much when your opponent is breaking your face with his knees and elbows. And, while the story of Muay Thai fighters gluing broken glass to their hands is false, the wrappings they used before boxing gloves were about as soft as concrete and left deep cuts on the fighters. When boxing gloves were introduced, deaths in the ring were cut from "common" to "not common enough to be considered a crime against humanity."
Muay Thai in Action:
The most awesome story from Muay Thai comes from 1774 Burma, after the Burmese had taken Thailand (then called Siam). Nai Khanom Tom, a practitioner of Muay Thai was brought into the fighting ring so the king could see how it stood up against Lethwei, the Burmese martial art. Ten seconds into the opening match, his opponent resembled a pile of lumpy mashed potatoes and was likely crying like a little girl, right up until he got knocked the hell out by a flying knee.
However, the judge ruled that his pre-fight dance had "distracted" his opponent and overturned the knockout. Being the gentleman he was, Tom fought another nine Lethwei masters in a row with no rest until everybody stupid enough to step into the ring with him was quivering in a pool of blood, urine, and shame.
In response to this, the king of Burma openly stated that Thai people had poisonous hands. Tom was given his freedom and offered a choice of a pile of cash or two hot wives. Tom basically said that money was easy to get, but hot pieces of tail didn't fall from the sky, and off he rode into the sunrise (not sunset, as Thailand is east of Burma), banging his hot wives the whole way.
Country of Origin: United States
No military in the world sees more action in more places than the United States Marine Corps. The average marine has been in at least two combat engagements per year since 1775. As a result, the Marine Corps' close combat program has been incorporating techniques from the various countries they've killed people in, culminating in the "Marine Corps Martial Arts Program," or "MCMAP."
Among the marines themselves, though, it is known as 'Semper Fu,' which is a name even Max Fightmaster could be proud of. The modern program also teaches the use of improvised weapons, bayonets, and parts of the gun other than the bullets.
MCMAP in Action:
Before MCMAP came along, the marines had something called the LINE System (Linear Infighting Neural Override Engagement) which was invented in the 1980s. MCMAP was formed in 2001 because marines were increasingly being used in situations that didn't require them to kill their opponents, and that was the only thing LINE was good for.
Now, when you use a MCMAP move on somebody, each move typically has the option to utterly destroy whatever body part you have in your hands or just put it in excruciating pain...or both, thus leading to a kinder, friendlier Marine Corps that only sometimes kills you.

To the editor:
This year, the city of Steubenville embarked on a street repair program that I have been advocating for years - that being to seal the developing cracks in the streets so as to extend their life. For this I applaud them, but the city deserves criticism as well.
I realize that there are fewer workers to do maintenance and repair, but in a year in which we experienced the hottest and driest summer in years, these workers should have been free to do a lot more street repairs since grass did not need to be cut as often. At least home owners I know were not cutting lawns as frequently.
Not one major street in the city was sealed, not West Market Street or Sunset Boulevard, none of the downtown streets, not St. Charles Drive or Lauretta Avenue. These last two are main access roads to Trinity Medical Center West for many visitors and employees.
What were sealed were subdivision streets. Third Street, which I travel almost daily, has an ever widening crack running down its middle as well as potholes beginning to form.
One pothole I called to the city's attention weeks ago but it has not been repaired, and these are not the only ones. Certainly the subdivisions need cared for, but I would think the priorities would first be those streets used by the many as opposed to those used by the few.
The city has also announced the beginning of a beautification project to enhance our city's appearance. Washington Street was recently rebuilt along with a new retaining wall for the underpass. Not only are weeds growing along the base of the walls, but also from the seams in the sides of them. Recently, I saw a crew cutting the weeds along the base with a weedeater. Why can't we pull them out or, better yet, spray them with a weed-killer so as to prevent their growth, as is done in Wintersville and other communities, or is the city trying to replicate the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? State Route 7 through the city looks terrible and even with the construction taking place, I would think some maintenance could be done.
And speaking of maintenance, why is the city paying a lawn service company to cut the area next to the new city building? I would think that the city could spare one worker one hour a week to run a mower and do some trimming. And if not, how about getting people sentenced in court to do community service.
If the city is so concerned with its imagine that it needs to have a project to order to enhance it, then it needs to lead by example. So far, it has fallen far short of doing so.

Is it really necessary to do Creatine Loading when first starting to take it? Or, doesn't it really matter?

Got my hands on the full text of this article, and based on a study that compared different creatine dosing strategies, the author came to the following conclusion:
Your muscles can only hold so much creatine. Many dosage strategies will get you to that maximum level, but some--including creatine loading--will get you there faster than others.
Creatine loading only has one benefit, reaching the maximum saturation after 5 days as opposed to around 20 days without loading. Once the muscles have reached saturation point the effects are the same.
Overuse of creatine causes problems as it tends to settle in the intestines and cause distress. Anyone with kidney related illnesses should avoid taking creatine but there is litle evidence that it can cause damage to a healthy kidney as excessive amounts are unlikely to make it into the blood stream.
The body gets creatine from it's diet but it also creates it itself. While supplementing with creatine this stops and focuses it's energy on producing other beneficial substances such as antioxidants. This gives creatine users an added health benefit of having a healthy methylation system

I have a WCF REST service, hosted in IIS. Clients (primarily browsers) have been complaining about occasional hangs. I finally experienced this myself, and was able to grab some debugging info from the server. I grabbed the following screenshot from the IIS management console.
Obviously these requests have all been around for far too long.
While these requests were hanging the server was able to handle other requests just fine. I recycled the app pools a few times, with no apparent effect. During this time any requests from my browser would just hang and then be timed out by the browser. Other browsers on my same machine were able to connect to the same service with no problems. I also fired up Fiddler, and then was able to make requests from my "hung" browser through Fiddler. When I shut down Fiddler the browser became "hung" again. When I finally closed the browser entirely, the connections went away.
One potentially important point: you can't tell in the screenshot but the requests are all hanging on calls that send binary streams (photos & videos) to the client. Under the covers I'm opening a Stream from Azure Blob Storage (using OpenRead()) and then returning that same Stream from my functions. So I'm reading over the network on one side, and pumping the data out to the network on the other side.
So what's going on here? How can I prevent the connections from hanging, or at least make them time out at some reasonable point?
UPDATE: It appears that the browsers may be the problem. If I have an HTML5
<video> element on the page, and the video is big enough, the browser seems to open a connection to download the file and hold it open forever. I'm only about 75% sure about that, but I'll add an update here if/when I find out for sure.

Just putting together a design for a t-shirt for my recently affiliated CrossFit Gym, and was wondering if anyone could help with a tagline that might be appropriate? The gym is targeted mainly as middle aged women and teens but would like to target guys as well, so don't want anything that will scare guys off. Currently training people outdoors, but do plan to move into a space eventually, so nothing that limits me to staying outside,
Any thoughts or ideas welcome! Thanks!

This problem is part of one of the free response questions on the 2011 AP Physics C Mechanics exam [PDF of free-response questions] that was administered last week.
(Sorry the problem statement is so long; I wanted to make sure I'm not inadvertently changing the meaning by shortening it.)
A projectile with mass $m$ and velocity $v_x$ is fired horizontally into a block of wood that is clamped to a tabletop so that it cannot move. The projectile travels a distance $d$ into the block before it stops.
(d) Derive an expression for the average force $F_b$ exerted on the projectile as it comes to rest in the block.
Now a new projectile and block are used, identical to the first ones, but the block is not clamped to the table. The projectile is again fired into the block of wood and travels a new distance $d_n$ into the block while the block slides across the table a short distance $D$. Assume the following: the projectile enters the block with speed $v_x$, the average force $F_b$ between the projectile and the block has the same value as determined earlier, the average force of friction between the table and the block is $f_T$, and the collision is instantaneous so the frictional force is negligible during the collision.
(e) Derive an expression for $d_n$ in terms of $d$, $D$, $f_T$, and $F_b$, as appropriate.
(f) Derive an expression for $d_n$ in terms of $d$, the mass $m$ of the projectile, and the mass $M$ of the block.
For part (d), I simply used energy to find $F_b$ using that $E = \frac12 m v_x^2 = F_b d$.
For part (e), I used energy again but with another term for friction: $\frac12 m v_x^2 = F_b d_n + f_T D$, giving $$d_n = \frac{ m v_x^2 - 2 f_T D }{ 2 F_b } = \frac{ F_b d - f_T D }{ F_b }.$$
I'm pretty sure I'm right up to this point, but part (f) is quite confusing – it seems to me that there's absolutely no way that $d_n$ can be expressed only in terms of those three quantities because it needs to depend on the frictional force between the block and the table. Can anyone explain if I'm missing something? If I'm not missing anything, what is the most likely original intention of the question-writers?

Elusive Insanity
Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello just received their badges and are sent on their first mission. But lets just say it doesnt take long for things to get twisted when they are forced into the middle of a mystery surrounding the thought-long-gone Hunters, an elusive, secretive group of psychic terrorists that have risen once more, and this time the secrets they harbor are far darker than before...
Authors Notes: Dont expect updates to be too often, I take long on my other action-oriented fanfics anyway.This chapter is intro and focuses on the clash of personalities that happens when two opposites meet. True action and plot-development begin in the next chapter. I will need three chapters to continue writing, gotta make sure someone likes this.
Disclaimer: Ya should all know by now that I dont own squat, except for the OCs (theres a couple).
Chapter1: Atrocious Incidents,
Silence? Not so. Whispering. Chatting. Hushing. And lots of thinking. But . . . it was as close to silence as one could hope for. Within Psychonauts HQ, there was a room. A very large room, that was used only once a year. But on that one day, every seat inside that large room was filled. People were even forced to stand if they came late and wanted to watch. The red seats faced a stagethe stage was rather large tooand on the stage would stand the proud graduates. Today was that day. The seats were indeed all filled, and there was indeed a lot of noise. Hidden behind large curtains that hung on the back and on two sides of the stage were the nervous and excited graduates, robed in the official dark-green garb, anxious to receive their diplomas and start their lives as badged psychic soldiers.
Among them was a young Sasha Nein. He appeared unusually calm and collected about the entire affair, though truth be told, he was very happy and exited, he just wouldnt show it. Little would change about his appearance over the years, though he did look younger than what a young psychic prodigy would know, and his hair was not so neat, it was rather messy. He stood in a shadowy corner, sipping some ceremonial wine and surrounded by the few friends he had. Which was only two. One was a fiery redhead with an unusual knack for pyrokinesis dubbed Martin, the other a blonde man with a dreamy look in his eyes known as Lawrence. Martin was probably a little tipsy, but noone cared cuz he was nicer and not so lofty when liquored up, No one believed in me ... now, ha! In your face, Nein! You said Id fail my exams ... ha!
Sasha groaned and rolled his eyes beneath his shades, You realize you just barely passed, with the lowest marks possible for a passing grade, right?
Who knows what Martin said next, Sasha stopped paying attention. His friends and him formed a part of the small intellectual crowd at The Psychic Academy of California. But Martin and Lawrence could be the most idiotic boneheads too. Graduation at PAC was just about guaranteed if you passed the entrance exams (unless you were expelled or dropped out), but it still felt . . . dare he think/say it? . . . cool. The three years he had spent at PAC were some of his best. Even though he was painfully shy and aloof, he had made a few good friends, got along with everyone else, and finally got to meet with fellow people who wouldnt shy away from a discussion concerning Existentialism and its principles over a cup of hot coffee. In a few minutes, who was he kidding, in an hour, it would be over.
He would start a new life, and probably never meet any of his college peers again. If you didnt count Martin and Lawrence (he was quite loyal to his friends), maybe that wouldnt be such a bad thing. Unless he saw them around the offices in wherever. Damn. He couldnt escape stupidity, could he?
His fellow peers were far more chatty, either laughing or crying. Friends clumped together, making plans and promises to stay in touch that would later be broken. There was one large swarm of girls that were particularly loud he noticed. They cried unanimously, tears streaming down their faces, which were graced with smiles at the same time. They were like a single living entity. It was creepy. Near the center was the foreign exchange student from . . . what was it . . . Venezuela? Either way, PAC didnt get too many new students, and foreign ones were a rarity. Thus, they were for some reason or another, coveted. Being foreign was exotic, therefore cool. So if you were a foreign exchange student who didnt scream nerdiness, you were popular ... Like the Venezuelan(?) girl. Sasha wondered if he would have been popular if he had come to PAC in the middle of the year. Would he have liked it? Hmm . . . . .
His thoughts were interrupted by a fussy attendant who forced the graduates to line up on the stage. There were a lot of people here, Sasha noticed. It didnt really matter. He had no mother or father to watch him. No siblings either as he had been an only child. A few (nearly) silent minutes later, a bearded man floated down from the catwalks above, to the stage below. Along with the other graduates, Sasha craned his neck upwards to see. It truly was Ford Cruller, the head of the Psychonauts, floating down to give the graduates their diplomas. Sasha really admired the man. Cruller had so much authority, authority he never misused. That and he was a damn fine leader. Kept everything working smooth.
With a slight thump, Ford Cruller landed on the stage. For once, there was absolute silence. He stroked his brown mustache, and broadcasted an exasperated thought to a lighting-man who guzzled down some weak wine on a different catwalk. Hearing the message, the lights dimmed and a spotlight shone on Ford Cruller.
He cleared his throat, Ladies and Gentlemen, parents and graduates, today marks a benchmark in the lives of the class of 1992. This is the day they become mental marines, psychic soldiers, in other words, Psychonauts! Either majoring in mindbending, in which they aim to fix troubles of the psyche, or in any of the other majors The Psychic Academy of California offers, these students have gathered much knowledge within our halls and classrooms, and will pave the way for a more psychic friendly future . . . . . . . . .
His speech continued for a while, and then (finally), he began announcing the names. Milla was only a few feet from Sasha, and she giddy with excitement, and it showed. She rather wished she could be a bit more like the German(?) boy not far from her: able to look dignified in the face of authority. She had to admit that while she was well liked, she was too much for the head honchos who seemed to insist on ties and suits. And oh, how her time at PAC was wonderful, even if it was short. She made up for all her lost friends back in Brasil with new friends here, but now that she was to graduate, would she be truly alone? Oh, how she hoped not.
Martin Mayfew, Cruller called. Martin patted Sasha and Lawrences shoulders with a smirk as he strolled down to get his diploma.
Derek Lutefisk.
Sniveling wuss, Sasha thought.
That hot guy I never asked out, thought Milla.
For the most part, the roll went in that fashion. Stroking his beard, Cruller looked up, Sasha Nein!
Taking a deep breath, Sasha went up to Cruller to claim the fruit of his labors. Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot. Thats how it should go. Automatically. As if it was programmed. That was Sashas plan for graduation ceremony success. Smile (uncharacteristically). Lift arm. Take diploma with left hand. Shake Crullers with the right. Walk down the aisle. As he descended into the sheltering darkness, he sighed with relief.
Oof! Sasha grunted as he realized that Martin had batted his shoulders with a psychic fist.
I know it isnt your thing, but theres a party going on later this night. You going? You wouldnt want to miss out. Martin said. Sasha shrugged and responded with a meh. Martin rolled his eyes before he left Sasha to meet with his parents. Lawrence didnt even get the chance to congratulate Sasha, he was attacked by his family, who smothered him with hugs. Sasha walked to a refreshment table and helped himself to more wine while he watched the rest of the ceremony. He had no family here to tell him how proud they were of him . . .
Milla Vodello
. . . And neither did she. Her family was in Brasil. She had no family to lavish their love on her that night either. Milla felt it. She clutched her diploma to her chest. She was ecstatic, though how she wished her mom and dad were here to see it. She floated down the stage steps into the comforting dark. She did like attention. She would have loved to be on tv. But this sort of attentionthe kind where it hardly matters anymore because the people that matter arent watchingshe didnt like. Twisting her shoulder length hair in her fingers, she waited for her friends by herself. She didnt really like being left alone. Attention was a sort of a validation of her existence. (1) Mental residue from the lack of attention she got as a little girl in a large household. Two sisters, three brothers. Even as the oldest child, she seemed to get lost in the shuffle, perhaps since she was older, it was as if she didnt need all that attention cuz she could take care of herself. So she waited alone. In time, her hair would grow out, shed lose a lot of her accent, but she would still remain largely the same. The tan complexion, the green eyes, her dark hair, her sense of style, and her happy-go-lucky nature would remain intact. She stared around at all the happy families, and her eyes rested on Sasha. He was alone too.
Sasha felt her gaze and looked back, giving her a sympathetic smile. She smiled back feebly before turning away and hugging her friend who had walked down the steps with her diploma in hand.
The rest of the day passed in a blur. Somehow, someway or another, Martin and Lawrence dragged Sasha to that graduation party. Truth be told, only a potent brew of drink and telekinesis did the trick. When Sasha finally was in a clear state of mind, he groaned. The party was wild. That wasnt his type of party. His so called friends had propped him up against a chair until he cleared up, so his back ached and felt stiffed. Rubbing the soreness away, he realized that the party wasnt even in the physical world. He was in someone elses mind. Ugh, mind parties were always supposed to be more fun. Could a drunk psychic even enter someones mind?
(2)The large room was circular, with yellow walls, and a very high ceiling. The walls were adorned with large TVs, which were fed live footage from winged cameras that filmed the most talented dancers, aside from the TVs, big aquariums also lined the walls. The floor was colorful glowing tiles that changed color, though the outer rim was glass suspended over water filled with fish and confetti. Flower shaped platforms floated in the air in a circular pattern, winding around a large cylinder that was really an oversized lava-lamp. Bubbles . . . bubbled out of oversized lavender stereos that thudded some exotic music, the notes taking on physical shapes. A disco light twirled in the ceiling, adding to the already dramatic lighting ( spotlights that changed color every few seconds).
Leaving his seat he searched for Martin and Lawrence. He needed to kick their asses. Easier thought than done. I said this party was wild. The room was crammed with party-hungry graduates who danced erratically, so Martin and Lawrence were hard to find. Standing on his toes, Sasha saw them dancing quite uncharacteristically with some girls on one of the flower platforms. Grabbing one of the notes that incarnated itself from the stereo speakers, he jumped onto it and floated upwards.
Sasha clasped the thin part of the note as it floated over to the platform his conniving friends were upon, Martin, Lawrence! Let the ass-kicking begin!
Huh? his two friends gasped. Lawrence waved back to Sasha with an idiotic grin on his face, How do ya like the party?
Jumping off the note and onto the platform , Sasha snarled, You know I dont do parties! Now, I want to get out, but with all the minds in here, there is too much interference. And since I was drunk when I came into this mind, I cant filter through the interference to the original link. And as far as I know, I cant use your links since you probably crashed this party by hacking into someone elses connection.
Martin shook his head, We were actually invited, even you. But when we couldnt find the hostess, we used some dudes connection cuz he was in the party. Unfortunately, he was a crasher and hes drunk. So the part about our links being useless is true. Anyway, Milla is the one hosting the party, find her and shell give you the connection so you can leave.
Do you know where she is?
Shes the life of the party, and youre smart. Youll figure it out
Sasha scoffed at that and muttered something along the lines of forget you under his breath. Real mature. Looking around, he noticed the unusually large swarm of girls on the top platforms. If they were there, so was Milla. Snatching another note, he wafted towards the ceiling.
High over the heads of everyone else, he finally reached the top platform. This one was huge and surrounded by smaller platforms where uniformed dancers . . . danced. Milla was dancing in the very center, wearing a short, pink halter-top dress, black leggings, white, leather boots/pumps, and white, kimono-style arm-warmers. He jumped onto the platform and called to her, Milla!
Her childish friends giggled when they saw him approach her. Idiots. My bonehead friends brought me to the party when I was ... ugh ... incapacitated
You mean drunk, one of her friends tittered.
Whatever. Look, I gotta go, but with all the links, I cant find my way out. Can you give me the original connection?
Milla sulked a little, and spoke, But the party just got started. You dont wanna leave so soon.
Yes. Yes I do.
No. No you dont!
Ugh, Im pretty sure I do.
Oh, cmon. Dance with us!
Um, I dont do dancing.
How can you not do dancing?
I dont dance since I dont do parties
Not do parties? Darling, where I come from, everyone parties!
Thats Venezuela, this is Cali
No, Im from RioDeJaneiro in Brasil, party capital of the world and home to the largest celebration. And Cali is supposed to party too.
Sasha had no comeback to that. Seeing this, Milla grasped his arm and pulled him in, Dance! Dancing to Samba is easy!. Milla danced with a large smile on her face, looking very happy. Sasha . . .didnt. He wanted to blush with embarrassment. But no. He didnt do blushing. He didnt do embarrassment. And he didnt want to stand next to Milla, doing nothing and looking like a fool while she was dancing admittedly gracefully. So he did the only thing he could: he went invisible. Fortunately for him, her friends had already stopped paying attention.
Sasha, darling? Now thats not right Milla scowled. Did I forget to mention that she didnt like scowling? Not to mention that Sasha disliked being called darling by a girl he barely knew.
Can you just give me the connection so I can leave?
Milla frowned (she didnt like frowning either), You are so afraid to let loose and have fun that you go invisible and have to use thought-transference to speak to me? For shame
I just want to leave.
I told you: I dont do parties.
You just dont like my parties! Are they really that bad?
No, thats not what I meant, I just dont . . . . party.
Stop being such a spoil-sport, its not healthy. You have to let your hair down sometimes.
Sasha was now a bit desperate to leave, I cant, I just graduated. I have a future to think about, how bout you? I dont see you doing anything for your career
I majored in mindbending, so of course I have a future! Milla thought back angrily.
If you continue to party at this rate, you wont. You wont get anywhere in life if you continue being such a shallow, materialistic twit!
No Im not! Didnt your mother teach you manners?
I didnt have a mom!
. . . your dad?
I hate him and he can burn for all I care
Burn. Like the orphanage. She was there last summer. Burn, Dont say that! You should never say that!
What? That I hate him and he should burn?
Would you seriously want that fate for someone?
Let the fire at him!
But ... their thoughts ... so painful ...
Fire. How she hated it. Because of the incident last summer, she was unable to learn pyrokinesis. It still brought tears to her eyes. In fact, they were moist right now. Why did he have to bring up fire? Allowing her anger and sorrow to cloud her, Milla didnt notice what was happening. The samba had been replaced by the haunting voices locked away in her nightmare room (Milla, Milla, why did you let us die?), the water in the aquariums had turned red and started to boil, the TVs no longer played footage of the party-goers, instead, fire showed on the screen. The lava in the lava lamp took physical form: small hands that pounded and pleaded against the glass, or eyes and mouths twisted beyond recognition. The flowers grew red, their petals wilted and died, fluttering to the ground. And obviously, people noticed. What is going on?, they wondered.
It didnt take long for Milla too realize what had happened. He had made her reveal her private thoughts her worst nightmare to everyone in what was supposed to be a fun get-together.
Whats happening? he thought.Mistake. She felt his cold breath against her skin.
GET OUT! she screeched. A telekinetic fist formed behind her and once she whisked around, it sailed through the air till it met its target: Sasha.
Oof! the fist hit his chest and he lost his invisibility as he hit the ground of the platform with a thud. Millas friends gasped with shock. The fist then formed into a more feminine hand that forcefully picked up Sasha by his black coat. Her eyes glowed for a few moments, and she pointed to Sasha, GET OUT! CONSIDER YOURSELF UNINVITED! NO, KICKED OUT!
A whirling blue vortex formed behind Sasha, and the hand that held him held him a few seconds more in time for him to be stamped by a censor Milla let in before it tossed him into the vortex and his ticket out.
The swirling blue consumed the frightened man, and cooled Milla down. He was gone. Her eyes went back to normal, as did the rest of her party. The party-goers accepted it, and forgot about the incident, and resumed their partying without further question. Milla took in deep breaths before she forced a smile as she turned to her friends.
What happened? one asked.
Oh-oh it was nothing. Just forget about it.
Sasha awoke and found himself in some dorm where other graduates (and some sophomores) littered the room on couches, chairs and the floor, lost in their astral trance. He adjusted his shades, how he wished what had just happened was a bad dream. He had gotten more attention from one girl than he could ever hope for. Please be a bad dream. Picking himself off the floor, he shakily walked tot he door and left, fumbling his way to his dorm. It was pretty late after all, 1:36 am.
Next day,
Luckily for Sasha, his friends were too knocked up to ask him about the incident. But he couldnt escape it forever. As soon as he and Martin and Lawrence woke up, they were escorted to the stage room by the same fussy attendant. Every graduate sat down in the area facing the stage. He needed coffee. It was only 6:15 in the morning.
Lawrence was just as tired, but mustered up enough energy to ask Sasha groggily, everyone was talking about what happened yesterday at the party. What happened? Did you ask her something nasty?
No. She just went off the handle when I said I wanted to leave
Yeah, right
The fussy attendant shushed them loudly (in other words: shutup) as she paced in front of the seats, I know you must be very excited about graduating (someone in the background wooted), and your lives as working citizens begins. As you are all official Psychonauts now, you will receive partners. Partners compliment each other, filling in each others gaps. Someone who isnt good with clairvoyance will be paired with someone who is, for example. So you know, mindbenders will be paired with those who are trained to use their psychic abilities offensively and defensively. Your partners were chosen for you weeks ago, and normally, you would get a letter and a date for a formal meeting about all this in the mail. But we are having some trouble in the offices, so you will learn who your partners will be today. I will hand all of you an envelope. It will contain basic info and stats, the name of your partner, and your mentor. Your mentor will send you a secure broadcast giving you further instruction.
She levitated the packet of envelopes within a box, and they each went to their proper owner. Sasha snatched his in midair and tore it. The color drained from his face when he finished reading it.
Milla took hers and opened it anxiously. She gulped. No, this couldnt be!
Sasha looked around. His eyes met Millas . Millas eyes met Sashas. A stupid piece of paper had decide their fate: Milla Vodello and Sasha Nein were official partners . . .
1) In Brasil, families tend to be large, and Milla would be left in charge of taking care of the kids (she struck me as an older child due to her motherliness). With this burden, its likely she would have gotten less attention. Thus, her party-girl attitude and overall love fore attention could have stemmed from her lack of attention as a child.
(2) Millas world looks a lot like a disco, but it also made me think of Carnival: literally the largest celebration on Earth that takes place in RioDeJaneiro. Its colorful and wild, a lot like the discos we associate with here. People are more relaxed and also avid partiers there, so that could be another factor in Millas party-girl personality.
Authors Notes: I hope you liked it, and I know that Sasha (and maybe Milla) were out of character. But I figured that Sasha would be less patient and more hotheaded in his early college-days. Afterall, he has little to no experience at this point. Please review! You can also read this on FF

Answer for a begginer..
Guys, I understood that sencha is a pure html5_javascript technology. ok!
The visual quality of all examples are very impressive, but...
I didnt found good examples of data manipulation. I am a web developer and we know today the market is almost all dominated with server side scripts, php or asp.net mostly.
I would really love to see examples of interplay of sencha tech and php with CRUD. Anyone can post a link for it? Is it possible this interplay? I will do another clue about importance of server processing. Any client processing is prone to have its security cracked easily... well, someone have any link for ExtJj4+PHP ?
Thank you...

But the important part to realize is that ExtJS is agnostic about what server-side technology you use. After all, ExtJS is simply posting AJAX requests to your web server and receiving responses from it. Whether you are running PHP, .NET, Java, ColdFusion, fill_in_the_blank, ExtJS simply doesn't care.
All that is necessary (for any integration, regardless of server-side tech) is that you can send and receive requests in a format that can be used by ExtJS and understood by your server-side tech.
So IMO, the more important thing to study and learn would be the assumptions that ExtJS makes about the data that you'll be sending and receiving in regards to things like proxies, forms, models, etc. All of this is outlined in detail in the online documentation.

WHEELING - A state program to encourage charitable giving has been awarded more than $230,000 in tax incentives for 25 Northern Panhandle nonprofits to offer to potential donors.
The West Virginia Development Office selected 204 organizations statewide to receive $3 million in tax credits through the Neighborhood Investment Program to distribute to contributing businesses and individuals who can redeem those vouchers to reduce their West Virginia corporate net income tax, business franchise tax or personal income tax. The state Legislature established the program in 1996 to increase contributions to nonprofit organizations.
Those who donate between $500 and $200,000 can receive 50 percent of their contribution in vouchers, which the participating organizations must distribute by June 30. Eligible donations can be in the form of cash, personal property or real estate, and in-kind services also are eligible for the credits if the donor is an architect, attorney, accountant or a licensed medical professional.

'SHOEBOX SANTA' — Appalachian Outreach co-founder and Executive Director Rose Hart looks over a pile of gift-wrapped "Shoebox Santa" boxes containing personal hygiene and small gift items for distribution to remote, poverty-stricken areas of West Virginia. The Marshall County-based organization is one of 25 Northern Panhandle nonprofits that received an allocation of state tax credits to offer potential donors. - Ian Hicks
Appalachian Outreach Inc. was the only Marshall County-based recipient chosen to participate in the program. Executive Director Rose Hart said the $9,835 in tax credits her organization received are particularly welcome because the group needs a new truck as it prepares to deliver large panels of gypsum wallboard to parts of the state still recovering from a June storm.
Many of those same areas were also among the hardest-hit by remnants of Hurricane Sandy and the suffocating blizzard that accompanied it, she said - including Nicholas County, where the roofs on about 40 homes collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Appalachian Outreach's goal is to provide aid in remote areas of the state, "where there's just no other resources at all," Hart said. In addition to disaster relief, their activities include providing baskets of baby care supplies and personal hygiene and small gift items through the Shoebox Santa program.
"It's the only Christmas gift they may ever have," said Hart.
Another local organization accepted into the program, Wheeling Health Right, is facing a 7.5-percent decline in its budget next fiscal year due to state funding cuts. It received $51,730 in credits through the program, and officials there are pleased with the opportunity to leverage more than $75,000 in contributions as a result.
"We get donations that we might not normally get," said Edie Proger, director of finance for the 29th Street clinic. "People are always calling to see if we have those tax credits."
Although government funding makes up most of Health Right's budget, Proger said the clinic would be in "dire straits" without the $120,000 to $150,000 in donations it budgets for each year.
"Our donations keep coming. Sometimes we wonder where they're coming from," she said.
Other Ohio County-based agencies receiving credits through the program include: Catholic Charities, $56,180; the Oglebay Foundation, $31,210; Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley, $26,185; West Virginia Northern Community College Foundation, $16,150; Wheeling Symphony Society, $7,435; Augusta Levy Learning Center, $7,025; Youth Services System, $3,365; Wheeling YWCA, $2,325; St. John's Home for Children, $2,325; the Children's Home of Wheeling, $2,225; Wheeling Jesuit University, $2,225; Faith in Action Caregivers, $1,880; King's Daughters Child Care Center, $1,640; Greater Wheeling Coalition for the Homeless, $1,575; Crittenton Foundation, $1,560; Oglebay Institute, $1,500; Harmony House, $1,155; Family Service-Upper Ohio Valley, $1,040; and the Children's Museum of the Ohio Valley, $1,000.
Brooke County organizations receiving tax credits were A Child's Place CASA, at $1,705; C.H.A.N.G.E. Inc., $1,400; and Family Connections Inc., $615. ArtsLink, at $2,300, was the only Wetzel County project chosen. No credits were awarded to organizations based in Hancock or Tyler counties, but several of the local charities chosen do serve residents of those counties even though they are based elsewhere.

Gastroenteritis Diet
The BRAT Diet
The BRAT diet is one type of bland diet that doctors sometimes recommended for people who are recovering from a gastrointestinal infection such as gastroenteritis or other causes of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach upset. It also helps some women who are suffering from morning sickness during pregnancy. BRAT is an acronym that stands for:
- Bananas
- Rice
- Applesauce
- Toast
The BRAT diet is based upon the fact that these foods are easy to digest and are well tolerated by most people. The BRAT diet is not a weight loss regimen and is not intended to be used over the long term. It is low in protein, fat, and fiber so it is not ideal from a nutritional standpoint for long term use. The low-fiber nature of the diet can help make loose stools firmer, and the bananas provide a needed source of potassium.

Genetic testing now allows personalized treatment. Find out more.

Our patients have amazing accounts of hope and resilience. Read their stories.
Your gifts help us push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Ways to Give
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment that involves inserting genetic material into your cells to give them a new function or restore a missing function, as cancer may be caused by damaged or missing genes, also known as gene mutations. Although gene therapy may be one way to overcome these changes and treat or prevent cancer, it is currently only available through clinical trials.
Cancer is caused by changes in our genes. Genes are inherited from our parents, and determine our traits and characteristics. They are made of biological molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA and RNA are responsible for making proteins, which have many functions, such as helping a cell to maintain its shape or controlling its growth and division. Changes or mutations in genes can affect the proteins and may sometimes lead to diseases, such as cancer.
Gene therapy is designed to modify cancer cells at the molecular level and replace a missing or bad gene with a healthy one. The new gene is delivered to the target cell via a 'vector,' which is usually an inactive virus or liposome, a tiny fat bubble.
Gene therapy can be done in two ways: outside (ex vivo) or inside (in vivo) your body. Ex-vivo techniques involve taking some of the cancer cells out of your body, injecting them with good genes, and then putting them back into your body. The in-vivo process requires that good genes be put directly into a tumor, which may be difficult depending on its location or if the cancer has spread. Scientists generally use two types of cells in gene therapy – the tumor cells themselves and immune system cells that attack the tumors.
Researchers from Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health System are studying several gene therapy techniques for breast cancer, melanoma, leukemia and pancreatic cancer.
For example, they have been integrally involved in the development of Herceptin, a targeted therapy that is proving to be effective in curing localized human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) breast cancer. HER2 controls how cells grow, divide and repair themselves.
Researchers have also been injecting a modified herpes virus into melanoma tumors, with the intention of improving the body's immune defenses against the disease.
Gene therapy called TNFerade Biologic involves a DNA carrier containing the gene for tumor necrosis factor-alpha, an immune system protein with potent and well-documented anti-cancer effects. TNFerade is being studied in combination with radiation therapy for first-time treatment of inoperable pancreatic cancer.
TNFerade and the herpes strategies use gene therapy to enhance the killing effect of the primary mechanism – radiation in TNFerade and viral induced cell lysis, or splitting, in the herpes virus.
When will gene therapy be available?
Gene therapy is only available as a cancer treatment through clinical trials.
Are there any risks associated with gene therapy clinical trials?
Yes. Viral vectors might infect healthy cells as well as cancer cells, a new gene might be inserted in the wrong location in the DNA, or the transferred genes could be "overexpressed" and produce too much of the missing protein, causing harm. All risks for any procedure should be discussed with your doctor.

We would not be the Bucknell of today, or have been for decades, without financial aid. Half of our students receive financial aid from the University, and a full 62 percent receive financial aid in some form from Bucknell, the federal government or other sources.
Financial aid opens doors to opportunity, changes lives and brings great students to Bucknell who could not afford to attend the University otherwise. We are committed to providing financial aid because we know that we would not be able to recruit and retain the best students from all backgrounds without it — which means we would not be the Bucknell we are without it, and would not otherwise be providing an education preparing our students for success in a global society.
We seek to raise at least $150 million in endowment gifts for scholarship and financial aid. Learn more
It takes tremendous resources to maintain our buildings and grounds, as well as the not-so obvious infrastructure necessary to create comfortable, convenient and safe living-and-learning spaces.
There is an additional challenge. In the last 30 years, the expectations for private universities to provide outstanding amenities and campus settings for students have dramatically escalated — whether the most advanced (and expensive) campus technologies, superb fitness facilities or residence halls with all the latest features.
Our primary objective is to provide a first-class learning experience, but as a residential university, we cannot take such expectations lightly. As the data show, Bucknell is overly reliant on tuition and fees, with a far-from-competitive per-capita endowment.
This campaign aspires to change all that and ensure that our financial resources position us to be the great campus we must for Bucknellians of tomorrow. We seek to raise at least $125 million for the physical places and spaces that will make our campaign priorities possible. Learn more
Operating Budget
Our $60,000 comprehensive fee does not pay all the costs of running the University. As the budget chart shows, Bucknell is overly reliant on net tuition and fees (i.e., not including our annual distribution of $51 million in financial aid), which comprise about 72 percent of our operating budget. The rest comes from endowment income (17 percent), gift revenue (6 percent), research grants (2 percent) and other sources (3 percent).
Further, the real cost of one year at Bucknell is about 20 percent higher than the comprehensive fee charged to students. The University relies on gifts and returns on investments to make up the difference, as illustrated at right.
As all of higher education adjusts to the fact that universities must hold the line on significant tuition increases, our extreme dependence on tuition and fees will become a great competitive challenge, and endowment will become an even greater differentiator between institutions that thrive or falter.
Gifts to the Annual Fund are particularly important in keeping Bucknell accessible to the most qualified students.
Many people think Bucknell has received many gifts of $10 million or more – but that's not the case. The University's single-largest gift since WWII is $15 million; the second-largest, $11 million. The generosity of Bucknell donors makes us confident that the campaign now underway will lead to a number of other gifts of this scale or even larger.
While large gifts can fund large-scale projects and programs, all gifts are crucial to University operations. This is especially true of the Annual Fund, which is put to immediate use where it is needed most, and benefits every Bucknell student.
More than 80 percent of Annual Fund gifts are less than $500. Last year, these donations added up to nearly $1.7 million. Every program across the University benefits from these gifts. There is strength in numbers.
We seek to raise $100 million for the Annual Fund across the life of this campaign. Learn more

For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines:
Moderate aerobic exercise includes such activities as brisk walking, swimming and mowing the lawn. Vigorous aerobic exercise includes such activities as running and aerobic dancing. Strength training can include use of weight machines or activities such as rock climbing or heavy gardening.
As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Want to aim even higher? You can achieve more health benefits, including increased weight loss, if you ramp up your exercise to 300 minutes a week.
Short on long chunks of time? Even brief bouts of activity offer benefits. For instance, if you can't fit in one 30-minute walk, try three 10-minute walks instead. What's most important is making regular physical activity part of your lifestyle.

This is a simple tutorial on a real weird looking creation from the web that looks sort of like a cross between a green lima bean, and a balloon formed animal that clowns pass out at children's birthday parties. If you are familiar with this internet meme, you should enjoy the lesson regardless of what it looks like. All I know is I have one more submission coming your way and hopefully you have fun with that one too. Enjoy yourself as you tackle the task of drawing Bunchie. I shall return in a few so stay put, and stay calm. Peace people!

Saturday was an awesome day! Sandy and I met for breakfast at 9:30, asked God to bless our day, and at 10:00 we were setting up our table at the front of the Dress Barn Store in Castleton.
The main table with socks, onesies, scrunchies, text book covers, shoe laces, hats and head bands.
Rack with shirts, tank tops, aprons and skirts that we were selling on a consignment basis. Several of the skirts include panels made with the tie-dye fabric we made for the maker of the skirts, and they turned out so cute!
Stand with hats, bags and more shoe laces.
And Sandy and I want to introduce you our third and newest partner. Please meet Lucy!
She's a Model 1939, Size 8 dress form and she was given to us for free! Sandy named her Lucy for the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (fitting for those selling tie-dye, don't you think?) and we had lots of fun dressing her up with merchandise.
Of course, Sandy and I had to pose with our new partner.
And I'm just tickled that I'm no longer the shortest member of the team.
Dress Barn bent over backwards helping us get set up for the day. They talked to customers about what we were doing, helped us with ideas of business and charities to contact who might be interested in custom tie-dyed items, and Sandy and I passed out I don't know how many business cards. We are really hoping that we will receive requests for custom tie-dyed items. We did sell a few things, but we were there primarily to promote what we do.
Thank you Dress Barn for hosting us. And thank you for the discount we had that day. Both Sandy and I went home with some new clothes for the fall. And get this! The pants and skirt I bought are all size 10's!!! Woohoo!!!! I am so excited!

CAMERON (December 12, 2012)--A Cameron woman was found dead Tuesday night after a single-vehicle accident.
A doctor at Central Texas Hospital told investigators that Shirley Nowell, 76, of Cameron, had a medical issue and died just before the accident, police said Wednesday.
Cameron officers were sent to the 1000 block of West 6th Street at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a report of the one-vehicle accident.
Police Chief Randy Dixon said it appears that Nowell's vehicle ran off the road and hit a church sign.
Nowell had no signs of trauma and no autopsy was ordered.

RICHMOND, VA – Behind singles and doubles wins by Kamil Khalil, Paul Cisti and Krzysztof Kwasniewicz, the Charlotte 49ers (11-7) defeated Atlantic 10 foe Richmond (10-10), 4-3, on the road. Khalil clinched the 49ers victory with a dramatic three set win at number three singles.
"Coming into this match we knew that it would take a good team effort," said Charlotte coach Billy Boykin, who was Richmond's head coach from 2008-10. "Richmond has a talented lineup featuring three very experienced seniors. We worked all week in preparation for this match, and though we didn't play our best tennis, we competed very hard. Our doubles play continues to improve. We'll turn our focus now to George Washington next Friday."
The 49ers won all three doubles matches to claim the doubles points. At number one doubles, Charlotte's Jordi Massalle Ferrer and Jack Williams defeated Richmond's Ethan Dunbar and Sebastien Fauchet, 8-6. At number two doubles, Charlotte's Alex Calott and Paul Cisti defeated Richmond's Jesse Feder and Paul Nahon, 8-4. At number three doubles, Charlotte's Khalil and Kwasniewicz defeated Richmond's Justin Baker and Dylan Trent, 8-1.
The two teams split their six singles matches but since the 49ers captured the doubles point, Charlotte won the match. At number one singles, Charlotte's Massalle Ferrer lost to Richmond's Dunbar in three hard fought sets, 6-7, 6-2, 7-5. At number two singles, Charlotte's Williams lost to Richmond's Feder, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. At number three singles, Charlotte's Khalil defeated Richmond's Fauchet in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, to give the 49ers the overall victory. At number four singles, Charlotte's Calott lost to Richmond's Nahon, 7-6, 7-5. At number five singles, Charlotte's Cisti defeated Richmond's Trent, 6-4, 6-0. At number six singles, Charlotte's Kwasniewicz defeated Richmond's Baker, 6-4, 6-0.
Charlotte returns to action when they play Atlantic 10 foe George Washington at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex, Friday, April 12 at 12 pm.

I am trying to figure out how to prove that all rational numbers are either terminally real or repeating real numbers, but I am having a great difficulty in doing so.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to figure out how to prove that all rational numbers are either terminally real or repeating real numbers, but I am having a great difficulty in doing so.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
HINT$\ $ Consider what it means for a real $\rm\ 0\: < \: \alpha\: < 1\ $ to have a periodic decimal expansion:
$\rm\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\ \ \: \alpha\ =\ 0\:.a\:\overline{c}\ =\ 0\:.a_1a_2\cdots a_n\:\overline{c_1c_2\cdots c_k}\ \ $ in radix $\rm\:10\:$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\iff\quad \beta\ :=\ 10^n\: \alpha - a\ =\ 0\:.\overline{c_1c_2\cdots c_k}$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\iff\quad 10^k\: \beta\ =\ c + \beta$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\iff\quad (10^k-1)\ \beta\ =\ c$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\iff\quad (10^k-1)\ 10^n\: \alpha\ \in\ \mathbb Z$
Thus to show that a rational $\rm\:\alpha\:$ has such a periodic expansion, it suffices to find $\rm\:k,n\:$ as above, i.e. so that $\rm\ (10^k-1)\ 10^n\:$ serves as a denominator for $\rm\:\alpha\:.\:$ Put $\rm\:\alpha\: = a/b,\:$ and $\rm\: b = 2^i\:5^j\ d,\:$ where $\rm\:2,5\:\nmid d\:.\:$ Choosing $\rm\:n\: >\: i,\ j\:$ ensures that $\rm\:10^n\:\alpha\:$ has no factors of $\rm\:2\:$ or $\rm\:5\:$ in its denominator. Hence it remains to find some $\rm\:k\:$ such that $\rm\:10^k-1\:$ will cancel the remaining factor of $\rm\:d\:$ in the denominator, i.e. such that $\rm\:d\:|\:10^k-1\:,\:$ or $\rm\:10^k\equiv 1\pmod{d}\:.\:$ Since $\rm\:10\:$ is coprime to $\rm\:d\:,\:$ by the Euler-Fermat theorem we may choose $\rm\:k = \phi(d)\:,\:$ which completes the proof sketch. For the converse, see this answer.
First, it's clear that you need only look at proper fractions. Now look at the long division algorithm for calculating the decimal expansion of a rational number. At each stage you get a remainder. What happens if you get a remainder of $0$ at some stage? If you don't ever get a remainder of $0$, can you keep getting different remainders forever, or must a remainder repeat at some point? What happens if you do get a repeated remainder?
Recall that in long division, one gets a remainder at each step: $$ \begin{array} & & & 0 & . & 2 & 2 & 7 & 2 \\ \hline 22 & ) & 5&.&0&0&0&0&0 \\ & & 4 & & 4 \\ & & & & 6 & 0 & \leftarrow \\ & & & & 4 & 4 \\ & & & & 1 & 6 & 0 \\ & & & & 1 & 5 & 4 \\ & & & & & & 6 & 0 & \leftarrow & \text{repeating}\\ \end{array} $$ 6 is a remainder. The next remainder is 16. Then the next is 6. This brings us back to where we were at an earlier step: Dividing 60 by 22. We have to get the same answer we got the previous time. Hence we have repetition of "27". The answer is $0.2272727\overline{27}\ldots$, where "27" keeps repeating.
The question then is: Why must we always return to a remainder that we saw earlier? The answer is that the only possible remainders are $0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 21$ (if $22$ is what we're dividing by) and there are only finitely many. If we get 0, the process terminates. If we never get 0, we have only 21 possibilities, so we can go at most 21 steps without seeing one that we've seen before. As soon as we get one that we've seen before, the repetition begins.
A related question worth asking is how you know that every repeating decimal corresponds to a rational number. E.g., if you're handed $0.2272727\overline{27}\ldots$ with "27" repeating forever, how do you figure out that it's exactly $5/22$? There's a simple algorithm for that too.
Remainders must be less than the divisor. So, for example, if you divide the numerator by the denominator, n, the only remainders can lie between 0 (in which case the division ends) and n-1. What happens if and when you run out of remainders (i.e. you've used all of the numbers between 1 and n-1)? You will be facing division of some remainder, r, by n again. You've been there and done that so you know what the next remainder (hence, the next dividend) will be. And so on...

In school I have always seen sets. But I was watching a video the other day about functors and they started talking about any set being a collection but not vice-versa and I also heard people talking about classes. What is their relation? Some background would be nice. It has to do with something called Russell's paradox but I don't know what that is. I think that the difference between a family and a set is that one is a function and the other one is a set. Is this right?
Thank you very much in advance.
