STEUBENVILLE - For someone who's never taken a cooking class in his life, Matt Parise sure is doing a lot of it these days.
Parise, trained as an electrical engineer, learned to cook by watching his father, the late S. Matt Parise.
"He learned to cook at a restaurant where he worked while he went to college," Parise said. "When I was growing up, sometimes on weekends he'd go into the kitchen and just start cooking. It was amazing what he would make, fabulous, fabulous food, and he'd do it with whatever was in the refrigerator. I'd say there's nothing in there, he'd say there's a seven-course meal. A lot of what we do now there's no recipes for - it's a talent I got off him, watching him for so many years."

GROWING BUSINESS — Mama G's is now the exclusive caterer for Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church's Hellenic Hall. The recently renovated hall, which seats in excess of 300, offers ample parking, handicap access and a separate bar area, and Parish President Tony Mougianis said they're "very, very enthused at what the future holds for that facility." Pictured with Mougianis are Evelyn Parise, center, who makes the desserts, and her son Matt, right, who started the catering business five years ago. -- Dave Gossett
Parise worked in engineering for 12 years before coming home after his father died. He was in sales for a while, even dabbling in politics for a bit before going into business for himself. He'd spent some time over the years working with his cousin, John Giannamore of Giannamore's Pizza, so opening his own shop, Mama G's Pizza, seven years ago in Toronto just seemed the logical thing to do. By popular request he started his own catering line, Mama G's Catering, two years later.
"It grew very quickly," he said. "We're a full-line caterer, we do everything from roast beef to lasagna to chicken and pork, anything anybody wants."
Parise has a theory about cooking for Ohio Valley palates: Food doesn't have to be exotic, as long as it's homemade and tastes good. Really good.
He favors "food like your mom used to cook."
"If you serve really good, homemade food, this area loves it," he said. "I'm not going to serve food people don't know how to pronounce. My philosophy is that good homemade food is what people are looking for, what they like, and that's what we provide. "
Parise's menu has a distinct Italian flair - homemade lasagna, manicotti, spaghetti and sauces, chicken parmesan and Italian-baked chicken - but he's more than capable of serving up staples like stuffed peppers and cabbage rolls, roast beef and pork loin, baked chicken and flounder, barbeque ribs, sausage, meatballs and fried chicken.
His mother, Evelyn, handles the baking, except for wedding cakes, baking it all from scratch.
"We strive to give people good, quality food at a reasonable price," he said, adding that's he's very hands-on when it comes to his business, "so I cook all the foods and meet with all the clients."
"I know eventually I'm going to have to let other people (handle some things), but the food end will always be handled by me."
Recently, Mama G's was named exclusive caterer for the newly remodeled Hellenic Hall in historic Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Fourth and South streets, Steubenville. Parise sees that as a prime opportunity for his business as well as the hall.
"I'm just very excited at the opportunity to represent not only Mama G's Catering, but all Hellenic Hall," he said, pointing out they can do everything from weddings and graduations to birthdays, anniversaries, funerals, business meetings, business lunches and holiday parties. "And people can bring in their own food - they don't have to have it catered. You can rent the hall and bring your own food, if you want to."
Parise said his first Hellenic Hall event, a wedding with a 300-person guest list, happened even before the contract was signed.
His efforts aren't going unnoticed.
"Matt is doing a terrific job," said Tony Mougianis, president of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church parish council. "We're just very, very enthused at what the future holds for that facility. It was just in the last couple years that we remodeled that facility, we feel it's a great venue. A lot of people aren't aware this facility is available for parties, weddings, graduations, etc., so we're on a campaign to get the word out. There aren't many facilities like it in the area, and many of them are booked a couple years in advance. We're just trying to be a little part of that market, and at the same time aid our church as best we can."
Mougianis said the hall can handle in excess of 300 people comfortably. "It's in the range of 5,000 square feet," he said. "We have a separate bar, handicap access and ample parking. We can accommodate many different types of events. And outside of our Greek festival, which is a couple weeks in June, the facility is available throughout the year."
Parise, meanwhile, said his goal isn't just to meet expectations, but to exceed them.
After five years in the catering business, "I don't want to say I don't get a little nervous, because I do. But overall, it's really an exciting opportunity. We've built up a reputation in the community, people know we provide really good food and really good service. It's hard to beat that combination, and we do it at a good price."

Last night I checked out Scott E. Dillard's Vec library. It's a good, fast, pure implementation of the basic matrix operations applicable to 3D graphics. Switching to Vec has shaved off quite a bit of time from one of my demo apps and relieved me of the need to maintain my own matrix manipulation code, which was causing me repeated headaches.
It's very heavy with MPTCs, fundeps, and type families, which will cause ghc to render some pretty inane error messages, but if you're already accustomed to this then it's actually very straightforward to use.

The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma implies that any set of $k$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be randomly projected into $d' \approx \log(k)/\epsilon^2$ dimensions such that the distances between each pair of points are approximately preserved, up to a multiplicative factor of $(1 \pm \epsilon)$.
My question is whether such a projection will also approximately preserve convexity. Suppose the $k$ points lie on the surface of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Does there exist a projection into $d'$ dimensions such that each point lies near the surface of a convex body?

Unsupervised Teens Causes Serious Injury Working at Portland JunkyardMonday, April 7th, 2008
This news account of a teenager's serious injury at a North Portland Junkyard suggests that one or more participants didn't get their stories straight. Were the teens working for the company, or were they merely operating the yard's front-end loader and other heavy equipment without being paid on the payroll?
It doesn't really matter. The account and various quotes provide another reminder that teenagers often fail to appreciate risk. That's part of the reason why we have child labor laws. Children often can't understand or fully appreciate the risk of injury from work.
Front-end loaders, car shredders and other large machines do amazing work. But safety isn't something trusted to a teenager's common sense. Seems like the owners of the yard have some explaining to do. It looks like these kids were engaged in child labor on the payroll, or they were working under the table. Neither possibility reflects well on the owner and manager of the yard.
Let's at least hope that the injured teen heals fully and recovers his health.

Did Moshe Rabbeinu see God? Doesn't Maimonides assert that all references to the physicality of God are metaphorical? If so, how did Moses see God?

Rambam explains this in Hilchos Yesodei Hatorah (1:8,10):
In Exodus 33:11, it says that God spoke with Moses face to face as with a friend. In the same chapter He promised to send His Presence with the people of Israel, and then in verse 22 it says that Moses couldn't see God's face when He let His Presence pass in front of him in a unique way. So it would seem that figurative language was being used, and the impact is meaningful.
Tanya (Likutei Amarim ch.51): "The essence of the Ein Sof (G-d) is the same in our world as in the higher worlds... even in the highest mystical worlds G-d is ungraspable and concealed in them just like He is ungraspable and concealed in our world..."
Since God is the source of all existence, you can't see Him in His true sense, only what He chooses to manifest at your level of existence.

WHEELING - Robert Murray said if the U.S. Energy Information Administration's projection that natural gas will surpass coal as a fuel used for electricity generation by 2040 comes to pass, it will hurt "our families, our region and our country."
However, R. Dennis Xander, past president and member of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia, said the continued emergence of Marcellus and Utica shale natural gas does not need to work against the coal industry, as he said "co-firing" power plants with gas and coal could be an option for the future.
The new federal report predicts that by 2040, 35 percent of U.S. electricity generation will come from natural gas, while only 32 percent will come from coal. The remainder will come from nuclear power and renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydroelectric.
By comparison, federal statistics show 42 percent of U.S. electricity came from coal in 2011 with 25 percent being drawn from natural gas. In 1993, 53 percent came from coal with only 13 percent coming from natural gas. Currently, nearly all of West Virginia's electricity comes from coal, as does most of Ohio's.
"The Obama Administration has been encouraging natural gas use, while destroying coal mining and utilization, at every turn," said Murray, founder and CEO of St. Clairsville-based Murray Energy Corp. Among the several coal mines the company operates are the Century Mine near Beallsville, the Powhatan No. 6 Mine, as well as the "Ohio County Mine" and the "Marshall County Mine," formerly known as Shoemaker and McElroy, respectively. Murray recently acquired the latter two mines as part of a $3.5 billion deal with Consol Energy.
"There is no doubt that the decreased utilization of coal will increase electricity rates for everyone, including our citizens on fixed incomes and our manufacturers of products that compete in the global marketplace," Robert Murray added.
As more shale natural gas floods the marketplace, Xander believes prices should remain relatively low. He said adapting some coal-fired power plants to generate some of their wattage from natural gas could help the plants meet the more stringent federal emissions standards set to be imposed on them.
"Residential natural gas rates have dropped about 40 percent in the last three years. But if they take coal out of the supply mix for electricity, the cost per kilowatt hour will definitely climb. Seems silly," Xander said. "Given our abundance of inexpensive coal that can be burned with acceptable levels of emissions, we are foolish to simply abandon coal."
John Deskins, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at West Virginia University, said any further decline in coal usage will harm the state's economy.
"The two industries differ in terms of wages, in terms of how income is generated for those who own mineral rights, in terms of how much labor is used relative to equipment, machinery, and other capital, and along many other dimensions," Deskins said of coal mining and gas drilling. "We have a potential movement in economic activity across regions of the state with this evolution."

I am pleased to present to you all three tuts on what I believe they would look like if they where anime characters. I will start by showing you "how to draw anime Harry Styles", step by step. There is one thing I have to tweak about this drawing and that is the addition of those deep dimples that girls go crazy over. Since Harry has beautiful hair, I wanted to really showcase his locks within this drawing. So, if you have been waiting for a tut on drawing anime Harry Styles, look no further because here he is.

Epic Stick Fantasy is RPG similar to Epic Battle Fantasy… But with Stickmen!
Murder other stickmen, gain some powers, grow some strange plants. Do whatever!
Original game by ilovekirby12
NOTE: I got special permission from ilovekirby to post this topic, so don't get angry!
For those that haven't played epic battle fantasy, the gameplay will be like a turn-based rpg. After each wave of enemies, the setting or enemies might change, and get more difficult. After 5 waves of enemies (not including tutorial waves), the shop will open. You earn money by killing enemies, opening chests, stealing etc. You might even find items while killing certain enemies.
Stats can be earned after 5 waves of enemies, or temporarily by stat boosting items/moves. Minimum of a stat is 1.
Hit points (HP) Hit points of the user, if 0 then the user dies.
Attack (ATK)- Determines damage, boosts base damage (DMG) of physical attacks.
Defense (DEF)- Lowers damage of physical attacks. Magic attacks pierce this stat.
Speed (SPD)- Determines who attacks first within the battle turn. Also increases chance of evasiveness.
Wisdom (WIS)- Determines damage, boosts base damage of magical attacks.
Luck (LUK)- Increases the chance of secondary effects hitting, getting away with stealing etc.
Classes play an important role of stat distribution, and often have great abilities. When choosing a class, keep in mind, that the stick's classes must be different.
Warrior High def and atk stats, wields a 1H and a shield, and is a good tank. The knight has many sword attacks, and use battle chants to temporarily increase stats.
Beast Tamer – A beast tamer is an all-around class that can summon creatures to attack the enemy, caputuring beasts of his own, and fighting like an animal. He is able to have two pets, and has a increased chance of "Pocket-ball" hitting.
Paladin – A combination of the priest and the Warrior. Uses regen healing, and wields a 2H weapon. Immune to draining moves.
Rouge – Speedy and swift, the rouge utilizes poison attacks to slowly kill his enemies, without being hit himself. He also can steal items from enemies He/she weilds a short blade.
Priest – Though not a great physical fighter, the priest has the ability to heal mass amounts of hp, and sap away enemies hp as well.
Mage – A great magic user, the mage uses elemental attacks to destroy his enemies. The mage is also versatile in magic.
Types of Pets/Summons
Active: Active summons/pets can be controlled, have HP, and have their own attacks.
Passive: Passive summons/pets can't be controlled, but they can be killed and provide a bonus for teammates.

For the first time in history, there is a growing national recognition of the vital role that community colleges play in America's higher education system by preparing people for some of the most highly-skilled and high demand occupations in the 21st century. America aspires to once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world, and community colleges are being challenged to produce an additional 5 million graduates by the year 2020. The role that Kentucky's community and technical colleges will play in achieving this national goal is both exciting and challenging.
Fortunately, Kentucky is better positioned than most states to be a national leader in this agenda due to the passage of revolutionary legislation in 1997, the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act known as House Bill One (HB1), that reformed postsecondary education at all levels and created the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS).
Long before national leaders realized the critical role community colleges play in job creation, economic development, and global competitiveness, Kentucky's legislature set out to create a single system of community-based, 2-Year colleges that would produce a well-educated and highly trained workforce that provides businesses in the Commonwealth with the competitive edge critical for their success.
The ultimate benefits of achieving the goals of postsecondary education reform were to enhance the "general welfare and material well-being" of Kentucky citizens and to provide them with the opportunity to achieve a standard of living in excess of the national average by the year 2020. A major part of achieving these lofty goals was vested in KCTCS and was articulated in our unique mission and the accompanying statutory mandates.
Today, KCTCS is the largest institution of higher education in Kentucky, educating more than 50 percent of all undergraduate students enrolled in public higher education and serving as the major pipeline for job creation, the employability of Kentucky citizens, and the economic prosperity of families and communities. Our 16 colleges on more than 70 campuses offer over 600 certificate, diploma, and associate-degree programs that have increased access for Kentuckians to pursue their academic and career aspirations and provided business and industry with a highly educated and trained workforce to keep them globally competitive.

The makers of the popular Zen Pinball series on PlayStation Network and the Pinball FX 2 series on Xbox Live Arcade will bring the silver ball to the 3DS with Zen Pinball 3D, a downloadable title releasing this fall on the Nintendo eShop.
Zen's news release mentioned four original tables will be available at launch—Earth Defense and Excalibur, seen in Pinball FX 2 on the 360, and newcomers Shaman and Eldorado.
Zen Pinball 3D will feature local hot seat multiplayer, online leader boards and table rankings, multiple view points and rewards for playing and accomplishing table specific missions, which all are features familiar to players of Pinball FX 2. "Pro Score," an individual's collective score across all table, will be tallied in addition to a "Team Score" comprising one's friends' scores.
Zen's 360 game is well known for its licensed virtual pinball tables such as its Marvel Comics series, but none were mentioned in the 3DS title's launch announcement. Still, releasing over the eShop keeps the door open for additional tables, whatever their branding.
"Playing pinball in 3D is killer, it's like the game has been totally reinvented, and a whole new world opens up right before your eyes," Mel Kirk, Zen's vice president of marketing and public relations, said in a statement.
No specific price or release date was given for this fall, but Zen did release this batch of 13 screenshots.

I recently got a Marmot Aeros 3P for Christmas, but haven't been able to find anyone currently selling the footprint that goes with it. So how could I go about making one?
From my experience there are two good ways to do this depending on the weather conditions you expect to encounter.
Place waterproof tarp outside tent
Good for rain conditions or where rocks and debris can damage the tent floor.
Place waterproof tarp inside tent
Good for snow conditions
The reason for the difference is that no matter how hard you try, in all but bitter cold conditions you will have some melting of the snow under your tent. This invariably gets onto the tarp surface and makes the tent floor wet, or icy.
I have never purchased an aftermarket tent floor, because they are overpriced and can be easily made following the steps above.
If you are ambitious you can create a custom floor by cutting, and melting the tarp edges. Then re-grommeting the tarp so that it can be independently staked to the ground. This I have found is usually unnecessary for all but the most fickle travelers.
Best of luck out there.
Perhaps this is too naïve a solution, but I would take a tarp, lay the tent out on top of it, trace the outline with a sharpie, and cut on the outline you just drew.
Get your material (tarp, plastic, whatever you choose) out and set your tent up on top of it, with poles.
Draw about 3" around the outside of your tent. Trace circles around where the poles touch.
Cut on the dotted line.
Buy and install grommets on the circles http://www.metalgrommets.com/prod_gromwash.html, so that your poles can drop into them.
Fold over your edges about 1/2", stitch with a sewing machine, and final seal with a permanent seal tape.
(3" is actually a little wide, but when doing this sort of thing you always cut just a bit larger than you need to in case you make a mistake.)
Take a regular rectangular tarp, lay it out such that it is as close to the tent's size as possible.
Then take any amount of extra that is on the UPHILL SIDE, and fold UNDER THE TARP any excess. Any water that comes downhill is then channeled underneath the groundcloth.

How do I type in a file path in Ubuntu's default file explorer? By the looks of it, I can only drill down into folders by clicking on folder icons.
You can use this shortcut: Ctrl+L.
Or, go to Files and select Enter Location:
Another method that works is to just click on one of the tabs as if you were going to drill down and just start typing
The area immediately changes to a text box so you can enter a path.
As pointed out by Radu there is a short-cut key for this and you can also get there from the menu. There is a useful list of short-cut keystrokes here:

Let me explain: a friend of a friend is opening a new pizza restaurant called "Pi", and he's looking to decorate his walls with pi-related material: formulas, equations, theorems w/ proof, diagrams, etc. Any suggestion is welcome, so long as it meets these two criteria:
- It has to be mathematically correct.
- It has to be either a representation of pi itself or lead directly to a representation of pi.
So for example, this is okay: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2}$ (because it equals $\frac{\pi^2}{6}$)
But this is not: $\frac{22}{7}$.
How many can we come up with?

I have strings that are if the form:
{static data}{changing data}
The beginning static data part is around 20 characters and is common to all strings. The last part is around 5 characters and is different for each string.
The string is encrypted using blowfish (from xjava.security.Cipher) with a fixed initialization vector and a fixed key. Can the fact that the beginning data is unchanging be used as an effective exploit to help break the encryption?
[Edit] Updated to use correct terminology and add a little more information.

The 6 Weirdest Cities People Actually Live In
Look, we're idiots: None of us knows what, exactly, goes into city planning, but we assume it's probably a lot of distinguished gentlemen emailing each other about math, statistics and blueprints. But somewhere along the line, somebody accidentally CC'ed the insane asylum, and we wound up with the following civilizations that simply should not be:
#6. Neft Dashlari: A Hacked Together City in the Middle of the Sea
Back in 1945, the USSR discovered oil just off the coast of Azerbaijan. The problem was that, at the time, no one had ever built an offshore oil rig before, so if they wanted to tap that ocean-bottom booty, they had to figure out how to do it from scratch. Not to be deterred by minor considerations such as reason, the USSR went ahead and built a massive multiplatform oil rig right out there in the middle of the ocean. When even more oil was discovered right next door, they didn't bother with a whole new platform; they just retired a boat, bolted it to the existing platform and started working on it. The Russians continued in this fashion until they wound up with Oily Rocks, a gargantuan city of oil workers, with over 120 miles worth of road built into the middle of the Caspian Sea.
Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.com
"If you find yourself plummeting into the sea, you've gone too far."
Five thousand people live and work on Neft Dashlari, right there in the face of logic and Poseidon alike. But don't go thinking it's all bleak and inhospitable: Neft Dashlari is most of the way to a real city. Its features include electric power stations, a library, apartment buildings up to nine stories high, hostels for visitors/guests, hospitals, Palaces of Culture, bakeries and even lemonade workshops (leave it to the Soviets to append "workshop" to something as innocuous as "lemonade.")
Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.com
They went a little crazy on the swimming pool, though.
But if there's one thing the Soviets weren't exactly known for, it was the reliability of their engineering; they always did prefer to glue things together with a combination of balls and aggressive optimism. As such, Neft Dashlari is now falling apart. Roughly 75 percent of it has rusted away, but the local citizens aren't leaving, because there's still enough oil to keep that bad boy running for another 30 years, or until the Splicers revolt. Whichever comes first.
Via Skyscraper.talkwhat.com
Our guess? The founder of PayPal turns it into libertarian fantasy island.
#5. Manshiyat Naser
Manshiyat Naser is a city with zero unemployment, extremely cheap housing and a populace that mostly describe themselves as "happy." Here's a picture of our idyllic little hamlet:
Via Persurfer.blogspot.com
We're waiting for the '80s sitcom style "Our parents will be home in 10 minutes" cleaning montage.
No, that's not an "after" shot in an apocalyptic montage: That's how the city always looks. Because it's an entire society based solely around trash. Manshiyat Naser is located right next to Cairo, one of the largest cities on the continent, and Manshiyat Naser is where Cairo dumps all of its garbage.
Via Ilya Stepanov/Caters
"Literal mountains of filth? You shouldn't have!"
The citizens of Manshiyat Naser aren't just incredibly forgiving neighbors: They make their living off of the refuse. They collect it from Cairo, sort it and recover all the valuables for themselves -- from scrap metal to spare electronics. Though the city isn't exactly a utopia (it has no running water, inherent infrastructure or electricity), it's not just a bunch of hobos squatting, either: There are several permanent shops, streets and apartment buildings.
That's right: It's an entire society based on dumpster diving.
Via Ilya Stepanov/Caters
Great, now we have the Sanford and Son theme stuck in our heads.
#4. Miyake-jima: Killer Japanese Island Is One Big Creepy Human Experiment
Miyake-jima is a small island off the coast of Japan practically untouched by tourists, despite the fact that it's only a few miles away from one of the densest populations in the world.
But that's probably only because the whole thing is nature's chemical weapons factory. Psh, some tourists are just pussies.
Via Doaaraku.com
Pink Floyd fans just got one massive, collective boner.
Miyake-jima is located at the base of an active volcano, but their chief concern isn't explosions, or lava, but the sulfuric gas that "frequently reaches lethal levels." And yes, people still live there full time, even during those times when you can't breathe the air. It's a requirement that all citizens carry a gas mask with them at all times, since at any time, sirens may set off all across the island indicating fatal gas concentrations.
Via Doaaraku.com
"Do you take this man to brrmfm rrrfrrmmm-mm brrm?"
So why do people still live there?
For science!
Or, more accurately:
For money! That science pays to them!
The Japanese government gives each resident a yearly paycheck just for existing where they shouldn't exist, in order to test the effects of constant sulfuric gas exposure on a stable population. So hey, if you love money and Japan, but hate breathing, feel free to check out the study for yourself here.

The 5 Most Badass Things Done While Conquering a Mountain
Ernest Hemingway once said, "There are only three sports: Bull fighting, motor racing and mountaineering; the rest are merely games." The point being, Hemingway only thought it qualified as a sport if there was a good chance the sport would murder you at some point.
If so, then mountaineering stands above the rest, as the most famous peaks are also those littered with the most bodies. So why do people keep doing it? Because it affords opportunities for inhuman displays of badassery. Like ...
#5. Hermann Buhl vs. Nanga Parbat
Via gore-ljudje, Wikipedia
The Mountain:
Nanga Parbat in Pakistan is five miles straight up -- 26,660 feet to be exact. It's also known as "Killer Mountain" because up until 1990, 77 percent of the climbers who attempted to climb Nanga Parbat died trying. Just to be clear, they didn't just fail to reach the top, the mountain punished them with murder for even attempting it.
Via Jon Martin
"Please keep your hands and feet away from the mountain."
The Man:
Hermann Buhl was born in Innsbruck, Austria, and had taken up climbing in the Alps as a teenager first as a hobby, then as an obsession. In winter, he'd walk around with snowballs in his hands in order to toughen them up for his next trip. He eventually became a mountaineering guide, and then in 1953, Buhl heard about the mountain that had already killed 31 climbers (with and no successful summits) and said, "Yep, that's the one. I'm climbing that."
Via lecturasinquietantes
"I'm not even going to get up."
And ... Fight!
The expedition's main problem was the fact that it was 1953. At that time, there had been very few attempts or successful climbs of mountains that high, so no one knew much about the lethal effects of the thin air at those altitudes. Climbers, for instance, didn't know that future generations would label everything 26,000 feet and higher "The Death Zone" because the human body literally can't survive for more than a couple of days.
After suffering through bad weather and organization, Hermann Buhl and the rest of the summit party got the green light to ascend to a camp at 22,600 feet. From there they would climb to the summit the next day. They woke at 1 a.m., but Buhl's partner wasn't feeling well, so Buhl decided that was fine, he would just go alone.
Via editrixblog
"Just going to expand mankind's horizons, get some coffee on the brew."
At the time, only two mountains above 26,000 feet had been climbed, and most expeditions were huge, with massive resources and hundreds of people working on getting two men to the summit. Aside from the usual threats of avalanches and getting crushed by falling ice blocks, there also was the danger of sheer exhaustion and oxygen deprivation; some climbers would just walk off cliffs in their oxygen-less confusion. Without supplementary oxygen at that altitude, which Buhl didn't have, climbers need to breathe 10 to 20 times before they have the energy to take a single step. And in all this, Buhl decided he was going to just walk up to the top alone, making it not only the first ascent of the mountain, but the first solo ascent.
Naturally, it was harder than he anticipated. He finally did reach the summit but not until 7 p.m. ... which means it was going to be dark on the way down. No, you can't climb down a mountain in the dark, unless you want to make the trip really, really fast, and wind up as a shattered, partially frozen bag of meat at the end. So Buhl was forced to spend the night at about 26,000 feet.
Standing on a narrow ledge, clinging to a single handhold.
All night. Knowing that if he fell asleep, he would tumble to his death.
Via climbing.lu
"I wonder if I can pull it here."
And he was probably a little tired at that point, considering he had been climbing for 18 straight fucking hours. He had no food or water. He was so exhausted that he started hallucinating a partner was standing beside him on the ledge.
Still, he survived. He spent an entire night exposed in the Death Zone and lived. If you want to see how much a toll that night on Nanga Parbat took on Hermann Buhl, below is a photo taken the day after he had descended from the summit:
Hermann Buhl was 29-years old when that picture was taken.
#4. Pete Schoening vs. K2
The Mountain:
K2 is the second highest mountain in the world, and because it is steep on all sides and every route is as long as it is difficult, it's considered one of the hardest mountains in the world to climb. Before 1990, it killed 41 percent of the climbers who tried it. Pete Schoening's expedition arrived there the summer of 1953, so this was at a time when no one had ever reached the top.
Via Stuart Orford
Eh, what's up there really apart from the overwhelming sense of achievement?
The Man:
Schoening was the youngest person on the expedition -- he had climbed long rock routes in the U.S. a bit but never abroad, so 26,000-foot peaks were completely foreign to him. To give it context, it was like Schoening had jogged for about a mile every day and now he was pulled in by the Olympic Marathon team. Although he might have seemed less than qualified, the leader of the expedition said he invited him along because, "He was always cheerful."
Via Life
"You signed me up for what?"
And... Fight!
Close to the top, the team was trapped by a storm -- something that you'll find is a recurring theme in this article. After four days, one of the members collapsed outside the high camp. The doctor of the expedition diagnosed him with a blood clot in his leg -- that meant if it traveled to his lungs, the guy would die. Waiting out the storm was no longer an option.
It would be almost impossible to get him down even with modern equipment and support. In 1953, they were left entirely on their own. But down the mountain they went, until they encountered an ice field.
Via offroadpakistan
Like this, only verticalier.
We're assuming that even if you know nothing about mountains or mountain climbing, that trying to go steeply downhill on something called an "ice field" is treacherous as shit. And, sure enough, one of the climbers slipped, sliding down, creating a horrific chain reaction that wound up pulling six climbers down the mountain, death waiting below for all of them ...
But something stopped their fall.
The combined weight of six grown men and their climbing equipment, more than 1,000 pounds, was stopped by Schoening -- the new guy.
Via findagrave
You can't see his other hand, but he's holding up the whole comment box.
All Schoening could do was to hold on to a flimsy wooden ice axe wedged against a rock and hope his body wouldn't be torn in half by the rope or the 1,000 pounds of flailing team members. Surely not the easiest thing to do after climbing one of the world's toughest mountains without supplemental oxygen, and spending a few days at the aforementioned "Death Zone" altitude. Schoening's hands were freezing, and he couldn't see a thing because of the storm. Yet, he held on while the team gradually regained their positions.
What Schoening did was considered so miraculous that the climbing community simply named it "The Belay." For anyone unfamiliar with climbing, belaying is the act of securing someone with a rope, which is basically 50 percent of what climbing is all about. Mountaineers could have named that particular event "Pete Schoening's Belay" or "The K2 Belay," but it was such a remarkable moment of heroism that it will go down in history only as "The Belay." The ice axe he held on to is currently on display in a museum.
Via Carl Hancock
"Break the laws of physics to access axe."
#3. Joe Simpson vs. Siula Grande
The Mountain:
Back in 1986, the West Face of Siula Grande had seen several failed expeditions and was considered one of the most difficult climbs in South America. Joe Simpson wanted to give it a shot after a friend of his described it as a "challenging day out," partially because Brits are notorious for understating everything, and partially because mountaineers around the world are notorious for sandbagging the shit out of each other.
Via summitpost
It's a walk in a park with no oxygen and frequent avalanches.
The Man:
Simpson was 25 and had climbed since he was a teenager, doing several routes in the Alps. But nothing like Siula Grande. Despite his young age, or likely because of it, his thoughts before climbing a dangerous peak several people had failed trying was, "We'll just do it, we're better than them."
Via The Independent
"And we're certainly more arrogant."
And ... Fight!
To his credit, Simpson did climb it with a friend (Simon Yates). But on the descent, Simpson fell. He landed with his leg outstretched and the impact sent his shin bone through his knee. His lower leg bone was now alongside his thigh bone and his knee was shattered.
They both knew that a broken leg on a mountain like Siula Grande was a death sentence; it's difficult enough to climb down it with two good legs. Still, Yates threw a rope around his injured friend and pushed him over the edge, lowering Simpson down the mountain. Simpson's broken leg slammed into rocks and ice as he slid down, and adding insult to injury, a (you guessed it) storm moved in, dropping the temperature to about 80 degrees below zero Fahrenheit with the wind chill.
Exhausted and cold, Yates made what seemed like a fatal mistake: He accidentally lowered Simpson off a lip he couldn't see over, and the cliff ended up being longer than the rope. They were stuck. Below the dangling Simpson was a big drop onto the glacier at the base of the mountain, and Yates was too exhausted to pull him up. Yates was slowly getting pulled off the mountain by Simpson's bodyweight and they had no way to communicate because the storm drowned out all sound.
This went on for over an hour, and they were slowly freezing to death. Finally Yates, seeing no other alternative, cut the rope.
Finally, a way to use a pocket knife that doesn't involve sawing a limb off!
Simpson, leg already a shattered mess, plummeted 150 feet to the glacier below and into a massive crevasse. He miraculously survived the fall, catching on a ledge inside the crevasse. But with a broken leg, unimaginable pain and severe dehydration, he really only had two options left and neither one was pretty: he could lower himself deeper into a crack so big he couldn't see the bottom, or sit there and die.
Simpson opted for the not-waiting-to-dying choice and descended by way of crawling. In what might have been the only moment of luck on his entire trip, he found a way out and then managed to crawl down the glacier itself. Doing this took tremendous skill because glaciers can be giant death traps, hiding several cracks covered by snow bridges that can barely support the weight of falling snow, let alone a human body.
Neatly demonstrated here.
After conquering the glacier, Simpson still had five miles of rocks as big as cars to negotiate before he could reach camp. He had no alternative but to hop and crawl his way there, mangled leg and all.
The friend, Yates, was at the camp, grief-stricken and mourning his "dead" friend. Then said friend showed up at his tent, asking him what the hell happened on the ledge.
"You didn't need to cackle."
Simpson lost a third of his body-weight during the ordeal, and the route he and Yates climbed has never been climbed since. With his leg shattered, Simpson's doctors told him he would never climb again. But he did anyway, after two years of intense training because he can do whatever the fuck he wants now. There's a whole movie based on it here.
On the other end of the dramatic spectrum, there's a drinking game based on the experience.

An eastern Kentucky school, wrecked by a tornado last spring, is now being further damaged by vandals.
Herald Whitaker Middle School in Salyersville has not been used since the storm struck it March 2. WYMT-TV in Hazard reported that while maintenance crews boarded up windows on the first floor, people have been climbing through a torn roof into the building and wrecking anything that wasn't put into storage.
Graffiti is spray-painted on walls and anything left behind after the tornado has been destroyed.
Superintendent Stanley Holbrook said vandals can climb on their trucks and jump right into the shattered second story of the building.
Police have stepped up patrols, but no vandals have yet been caught.

Let G be a nontrivial finite group. Is it true that the sum of the orders of all elements of G is not divisible by the order of G?
It is false in general, for instance there's a group of order $3\cdot 5\cdot 7=105$ with sum of orders equal to $1785=3\cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 17$. (In Magma, it is the first of the two groups of order 105 in the "small groups" database).
However it is true for all groups of even order, because the sum of orders of elements is always odd (this is shown by partitioning $G$ according to the equivalence relation $x\sim y$ if $x$ and $y$ generate the same cyclic subgroup, and using the fact that, for a positive integer $n\geq 1$, $n\varphi(n)$ is odd only if $n=1$.)
Edit: I misunderstood the question, I'll try to fix here. I don't have the complete answer but I'll try to give a partial answer: let $G$ be a group of order $|G|$ and for each $d \mid |G|$ let $n_d$ indicate the number of elements of order $d$ in $G$; then if $|G|$ is even $|G| \nmid \sum_{d \mid |G|}n_d d$. Indeed we have that if $d$ is a odd divisor of $|G|$ (not equal to $1$) either $n_d=0$ or exists a odd prime numeber $p$ such that $p-1 \mid n_d$ and so $n_d$ is even, on the other hand if $d$ is even clearly $n_d d$ is also even and so $\sum_{1 \ne d \mid |G|} n_d d$ must be even. Thus $\sum_{d \mid |G|}n_d d$ is odd and so $|G| \nmid \sum_{d \mid |G|} n_d d$, because by hypothesis $|G|$ is even.

I thought it was pretty subtle, and considering it was shipping for free, a decent deal.
I'm betting the women's sizes won't be all weirdly belled out at the bottom or have stretched out neck holes either.

My processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz). As far as I know that's a 64-bit processor - I'm a bit confused as the architecture is called AMD 64, is this a generic name given to 64-bit architectures? I've heard of x64 but can't see a release labelled with this.
X64, amd64 and x86-64 are names for the same processor type. It's often called amd64 because AMD came up with it initially. All current general-public 64-bit desktops and servers have an amd64 processor.
There is a processor type called IA-64 or Itanium. It's only found in supercomputers and a few high-end servers.
A 64-bit processor can run a 32-bit system, so you have a choice of installing the amd64 version or the i386 version. Here are a few points of comparison:
If in doubt, on an amd64-capable processor, use an amd64 distribution.
You can use both the x86 and the amd64 images. And yes the initial generic name for the architecture was amd64 because it was developed, well, by AMD. Anyway, today is usually know as x86-64 or even x64.
Intel licensed the AMD64 instruction set for their non-Itanium 64 Bit CPUs. Then, yes, AMD64 is one generic name for the x86 64 bit architecture.
Of course your CPU can run 32 bit x86 kernels as well - but this is not recommended since you lose all the benefits of the x86-64 architecture (mainly bigger address space and more registers).

So, there's a construction of Reshetikhin and Turaev which extracts knot invariants from ribbon monoidal categories, which are (usually) the representation category a Hopf algebra with a choice of ribbon element.
How do these knot invariants change if I pick a different ribbon element in the same Hopf algebra? In particular, will something strange happen with 3-manifold invariants?

Unanswered: Should I move to using Extjs MVC features?
Currently I have an ASP.NET MVC application that is utilizing the Extjs grid component on a couple of pages and then the window component. Up until now, we have simply separated the .js files by page and just referenced the corresponding .js file in the .aspx file and the component loads onready. We have not used viewports or ext.application or anything like this. Our extjs files are just single .js files with no MVC-separation.
However, I want to create a new custom component that extends the grid so that I can reuse it in two different places. This has led me to look into the MVC options for Extjs. I like the idea of building our extjs structure this way, however, I'm concerned that it may be overkill if we are only using a few of the components and we are not using Extjs to build the full app. Our pages are all .aspx pages that have many other items on them besides the one or two extjs components.
Can anyone give any suggestions? Is the MVC architecture the recommended way to go no matter what? Are there any resources that I can use to help me break this out into an MVC structure?

The MVC pattern with ExtJS is a recommended option for applications and may be viable for your needs with the pages being aspx pages that include ExtJS widgets. That said, you have options.
If you're looking to make a re-usable grid component you can do the Ext.define() in a dedicated js file and then just load that file to your page / pages after the framework is loaded. Then in an onReady (or within a simple Ext.application()) you can do your Ext.create() to create an instance of your grid for that page.
Then if you decide to later move to building a larger ExtJS application you can have your common classes that you've created available to that application just as you would with your aspx page setup today. I'd recommend keeping them in a dedicated Common folder and just namespace them when you define them (i.e. call your grid class "Common.grid.MyGrid" and store it in a Common folder under sub-folder 'grid' with the filename MyGrid.js) and that will help with later just-in-time importing / application building should you move on to an ExtJS with MVC build.

But be careful. ExtJs MVC has one big problem: multi instanced views. It isn't handled from ExtJs itself. So you need to write your own stuff to do it.
For example:
You have a tabpanel. There you will open two grids in different tabs. This grids are the same view, but have to display different data. But both will display the same data. It's because the store of the grids will be instanciated only once by the controller. But each grid would need it's own instance of the store.
I hope you see what I mean xD
DeftJs for example was written to fix this problem. It's some extra classes for ExtJs. =)

When using the MVC pattern if you use a stores array config in the controller the framework will automatically create a convenience instance of the store with the ID being the last part of the store's class name (i.e. App.store.MyStore will automatically create a store instance with storeId of MyStore).
What you can do to circumvent the shared store issue is set an alias on the definition of the store like:
alias: 'store.mystore'.
Then when you instantiate the grid on your two panels you'll config the store like:
store: { type: 'mystore' // any other component specific store configs if any }
25 Apr 2013 11:51 PM #5
Interesting... I build a "uniqueStore" config for this. Which will instantiate a new store everytime the view is instantiated. But this seems to be a good way too. Thanks for your information =)

What I want to be able to do is alter the "value=" of an input text box using jQuery. The ultimate goal is to grab a form using .html() so I have all of the code, along with the values typed into the input boxes.
As an example I have this:
<span id="example">
<input type="text" value="" id="rate" />
If a user types into the input box I can save the data using .val, but what I want to do is grab the HTML so I can re-display the input box with the value.
If an user types "bob" into the input. Then I use:
var test = $('#example').html();
The variable 'test' holds the following:
<input type="text" value="" id="rate" />
What I want is:
<input type="text" value="bob" id="rate" />
How do I achieve this?

LITTLE ROCK, AR. (April 26, 2010) – The Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) and Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) joined together on Monday to raise awareness about the rising incidence of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Each year infants die or are permanently disabled at the hands of their caregivers by abusive head trauma, more commonly known as Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). Last year in Arkansas, more than 4,000 children were found to be victims of physical abuse.
"Shaking a child can cause severe brain injury and sometimes even death," said Karen Farst, MD, a child abuse specialist at ACH and an assistant professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). "Most of the cases we deal with occur at the hands of someone who truly cares for the child but gets frustrated with the child's crying."
While crying is the most common trigger identified in research on shaking injuries in children, other risk factors include lack of a support network for the family, children with disabilities and caregivers who have substance abuse problems.
"Nothing is more precious than a baby. But it can be frustrating when a baby won't stop crying," said Cecile Blucker, director of the DHS Division of Child and Family Services. "We want parents to know that there are tools they can turn to when they feel they have reached the end of their rope."
The issue of Shaken Baby Syndrome appears to be most prevalent among young fathers and those with limited experience in caring for a newborn. The state uses a mentoring concept through its family resource centers work to teach new parents to care for their new baby.
"I didn't know what to expect when I became a father," said Jonathan Dunkley. "Children don't come with an instruction manual. I didn't know that when they are too young to communicate with you, crying is their language. I needed someone with more experience to help me through that time."
There are several things parents and caregivers can do when faced with a situation where the crying is constant. A few of the recommended tips include:
• Remind yourself that crying is a baby's primary form of communication. It's OK for babies to cry.
• If you are frustrated, put the baby down in a safe place for a short time and walk away to calm down.
• Most importantly, have a crying plan that outlines the steps you will take to cope with the crying. The plan should also include a contact list of family or friends you can call for respite care and can be given to anyone that will be caring for your baby.

The School Representatives disburse information about the award to their school and collect nominations submitted by faculty, students, and alumni. Once the school's nominee has been chosen, the School Representative also assists in preparing the nomination packet for the All-University Committee and delivering it to the Office of Faculty Resources.
The process of selecting a school's nominee is left up to the individual school. Generally, each school constitutes a representative nominating committee that comprises faculty, students, school alumni, and a representative of the dean's office. It is the task of each school committee to establish criteria that reflect the particular character of what is defined as excellent teaching in that school and to establish procedures for receiving nominations and supporting information. Each school committee may nominate one candidate to forward to the All-University Selection Committee.

An Independent movie. Time frame was maybe 2008 (a guess) – very modern – could be today. The location was the American Southwest desert, I think Vegas or Arizona
The kid was brilliant. Lived in a desert suburb. His mother was a mess, neurotic and concerned her son was wrecking his life with drugs. (and he was.) She did an intervention. Kid escapes (multiple times) - including faking to be sick and then escaping from the hospital bed before being sent to Fiji with a universal handcuff key he stitched into his shorts.
I believe, the main actor was the writer/director, and the story was actually based on his life. I think. (That's why I'm trying to find him and see if he's done anything since.) I can't remember that kid's name or the movie – and it's killing me I can't find it via Google-Bing.

SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- North Korea said Thursday that it plans to carry out a new nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches, all of which it said are a part of a new phase of confrontation with the United States.
The North's National Defense Commission said the moves would feed into an "upcoming all-out action" that would target the United States, "the sworn enemy of the Korean people."
Carried by the state media, the comments are the latest defiant flourish from the reclusive North Korean regime, whose young leader, Kim Jong Un, has upheld his father's policy of pursuing a military deterrent and shrugging off international pressure.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said Thursday there are no "outward indications" that North Korea is about to conduct a nuclear test, but he admitted it would be hard to determine that in advance.
"They have the capability, frankly, to conduct these tests in a way that makes it very difficult to determine whether or not they are doing it," he said in a Pentagon press conference.
"We are very concerned with North Korea's continuing provocative behavior," Panetta said, but he added that the United States is "fully prepared" to deal with any provocations.
North Korea's statement followed a U.N. Security Council resolution submitted by the United States and approved Tuesday that condemned a recent rocket launch by the North and expanded existing sanctions.
Pyongyang's threatening statement "should have been the expected outcome" from the U.N. decision, said Daniel Pinkston, senior analyst for the International Crisis Group covering Northeast Asia.
"I think they are completely outraged and insulted by it," he said.
North Korea's statement prompted France and Great Britain to express exasperation with the secretive regime. Britain's mission to the United Nations called on North Korean leaders to "refrain from further provocation." France said it "deplores" North Korea's statement, telling its leaders that they need not to threaten, but instead to work toward dismantling their nuclear and missile programs.
In addition to Panetta's statement, the United States added sanctions against more North Korean bank officials and a business linked to the regime's nuclear weapons program.
The Treasury Department announcement targets two Beijing-based representatives of Tanchon Commercial Bank and a company -- Leader (Hong Kong) International Trading Limited -- that the U.S. government says shipped machinery and equipment in support of North Korea's nuclear program.
The organizations are "part of the web of banks, front companies and government agencies that support North Korea's continued proliferation activities," said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen.
"By continuing to expose these entities, and the individuals who assist them, we degrade North Korea's ability to use the international financial system for its illicit purposes," he said.
North Korea, which often issues bellicose statements in its state media, said Thursday that it rejects all Security Council resolutions concerning it, describing the most recent resolution as "the most dangerous phase of the hostile policy" toward it.
The threats toward the United States, a constant theme in the North's propaganda, have more to do with deterrence than a desire for full conflict, Pinkston said.
"I don't believe they have the capability, the intention or the will to invade or destroy the United States," he said. "They wish to deter interference from the U.S. or any outside powers."
North Korea's successful rocket launch last month nonetheless changed the strategic calculations for the United States, showing that the North's missile program is advancing despite an array of heavy sanctions imposed on it.
Analysts say it still has a lot of work to do to master the technology necessary to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile or accurately target it. At the same time, Pyongyang has been hinting for a while that a new nuclear test could be in the cards.
Just before the North sent out its latest hostile statement Thursday, a U.S. State Department official was telling reporters in Seoul that Washington hoped Pyongyang wouldn't go ahead.
"We think that that would be a mistake, obviously," said Glyn Davies, the U.S. special envoy on North Korea. "We call on North Korea, as does the entire international community, not to engage in any further provocations."
North Korea has carried out two previous nuclear tests, in 2006 and 2009, both of which were condemned by the United Nations. Pyongyang didn't say Thursday when exactly it would carry out a third test, but it could happen "at any time," according to Pinkston.
He said it is hard for anybody outside the North Korean nuclear sector to know whether the country is technically ready to carry out the test, but that politically, "it seems an appropriate time."
South Korean defense officials said last year that they believed the North was in a position to carry out a new test whenever leaders in Pyongyang gave the green light.
North Korea's nuclear program is "an element of threat to peace not only for Northeast Asia but also for the world," Park Soo-jin, deputy spokeswoman for the South Korean Unification Ministry, said Thursday.
"North Korea should immediately stop its nuclear test and other provocation and should choose a different path by cooperating with the international community," Park said.
That appears unlikely at this stage, though.
