I heard recently that Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky Shlita said that one should not name their children with modern hebrew names such as Shira and one should only give names from Tanach. I was also told that this is brought down in a sefer called "V'korey Shmoi B'yisroel". Does anyone have a copy of this part of the sefer or insight into this psak? If only Tanach names should be used what about Yiddish names, or Aramaic names in the Gemara?

My local shul happens to have this Sefer. I borrowed it and scanned in the relevant pages dealing with R' Chaim Kanievsky's opinion on modern names. Here are the relevant pages from the book (page 50-51, and 168-171).
My loose translation of some of the relevant parts:
It seems the objection was more to the idea of innovating new and modern names, rather than something against non-Tanach names.
In his introduction to the Sefer, he proposes two explanations for this opinion: He suggests that based on the Arizal who says that since the time of the second Beis Hamikdosh, there are no longer new souls brought down, but only re-incarnations. Since the name of a person is connected to the soul, it follows that there should no longer be new names invented. Another possible reason is based on Breishes Rabba 37:7 which states that, "The earlier [generations] would utilize Ruach Hakodesh, and name according to the events that happened. However we do not use Ruach Hakodesh, and give names from earlier generations."
Perhaps he was talking about names in Hebrew specifically, as it is considered a holy language. Therefore, a Yiddish name (which may be derived from German, Slavic, or some other Ashkenazim language) would be okay. Also, saying that you shouldn't name your child something officially doesn't stop them from having that name. Of course, they could take up a modern Hebrew nickname, which you would have no control over. However, one shouldn't assume responsibility for someone else's nickname (in my opinion). I hope this helps.

What do you mean by a "C++ setup file"? Do you mean something to generate an install set for your application? If so search MSDN for "msi" - that should take you to some useful stuff.

LOLShirts Valentine's Day Sale: All Love Shirts for $7.29 + shipping
coupon code: ITSCOMPLICATED
All love shirts $7.29 + shipping with coupon. All other shirts $8.29 + shipping.
14 Comments add a comment
Not sure why this is getting downvoted, I've used the site a handful of times and haven't had an issue. The promo code brought the price(with shipping) to just under $5. I'll be picking up a few.
I downvoted because I dislike the whole "husband is an idiot'" trope, whether on a tee shirt or in a commercial or a movie. The coupon may be decent, but I don't care to help a site sell more of a product that I find demeaning.
@bluejester: I see your point, but the "I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong" one is pretty funny.
@realgeorgew: How'd you get a V.D. shirt for $4.99 (shipping included), when Woot says it's $7.29 plus shipping (after promo code)??
I buy shirts from Tanga (aka LOL Shirts) quite a bit, and I know they're having a closeout on select Tees rite now for $4.99, but that does NOT include these Valentine's Day t-shirts being promo'ed on Woot!
Also..... here's a better link to get directly to the Valentine's section at LOL/Tanga. The link Woot provides just takes you to their homepage.
I downvoted this promo because that's totally lame to sell dorky t-shirts for Valentine's Day!!! Instead.... I recommend you go to Tanga's website and buy some "intimate" lingerie:
... or a "sassy and alluring costume":
@bluejester: my wife told me to down vote too
@bluejester: It's refreshing to see this point of view. For a while, I thought I was the only one who was disgusted by this...
That's why that one Klondike bar commercial is so.... refreshing!
"I downvoted because I don't agree with the message they put on their shirts."
Mature. For those who happen to disagree with you, this is a good deal.
It's the deals.woot rule of sponsored deals - there must be at least one deal in the negatives (preferably two) for aesthetics purposes.
These are the tackiest shirts I've ever seen. I'd be embarrassed to wear them to Walmart.
@bluejester: Yes! Just try and find a tv show or even a commercial where a white husband is right about something. I hate to introduce race but seriously look for it and you'll see.
Might be better off checking out teetrade.org and snagging some great shirts from your fellow Wooters.
I thought most of them were tacky, and I wouldn't buy or expect the spouse to wear one.
On the other hand, he loved the "Trophy Husband" shirt, but we both balked at paying close to $20 for one. Given the neat sale price today, I just bought one for a Valentine's surprise for him.
@jeffcazier: I don't know, I went to the site, picked a shirt, put in the promo code, and that's how much it came up for.
I downvoted it since a lot of these shirt ideas are stolen from other t-shirt companies/sites.

Division of Behavioral Health Services
Arnold v. Sarn
- Attention: the Division of Behavioral Health Services is transitioning to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. As of July 1, 2016, the website for behavioral health information will be: http://www.azahcccs.gov/
As BHS staff are transitioning to AHCCCS, email is being forwarded to new addresses. If the individual you are contacting has been moved, your email will be forwarded until June 30, 2016 and an automatic message will be sent providing new email addresses at AHCCCS which are generally First Name.Last email@example.com
A class action suit—Arnold v. Sarn—was filed in 1981 against the State of Arizona alleging that the Arizona Department of Health Services/Division of Behavioral Health Services (ADHS) and Maricopa County did not provide a comprehensive community mental health system as required by statute.
In 1986, the trial court entered judgment holding the State (ADHS) and Maricopa County violated its statutory duty; the Supreme Court affirmed this decision in 1989.
In January 2014, officials at ADHS, Maricopa County, and office of the Governor reached an agreement with Plaintiffs, an exit to the Arnold v. Sarn Stipulation for Providing Community Services and for Terminating the Litigation, signed in January 2014, whereby they agreed to provide certain community services and terminate the litigation. The agreement includes an increase of services in four areas: Assertive Community Treatment, Supported Employment, Supportive Housing and Peer and Family Services. The agreement also provides for the use of several tools by the parties to evaluate services provided in Maricopa County, including a quality service review, network capacity analysis and SAMHSA fidelity tools.
ADHS has until the end of fiscal year 2016 to see these increases in services are met.

The biggest match in our history. Tbh, the most nerve wracking FM game I've had for years, (I don't do playoffs!)
Scottish Cup Semi Final
East Stirlingshire 2 Dundee 1
So what? you may say. Well, we're still a semi-professional Division 1 club, and we meet Rangers in the final, who are currently 9 points and a goal difference of 14 clear of Celtic at the top of the Premier, with 3 games to go. (The Glasgow derby is next, so if Celtic win 5-0 I'll start being a wee bit worried).
So, we're in Europe next year, unless there's some rule against teams of our stature being allowed in.
Also of course, we may beat Rangers in the final and win the Scottish Cup. Oh, ok, I'm getting a little carried away, but still.
Guten Jour, Somos Il Shire.

The 11 Most Unintentionally Creepy Christmas Ornaments
#5. Godzilla Santa
This Santa has killed before. No, we're not goddamn joking.
Same here -- you have to look at this one for a few seconds to get the full effect. Sure, oversize decorations are nothing new, but then you see that Santa has seized a car and is about to pounce on it.
In other words, this isn't a case where they made their Santa bigger so you could see it from the highway -- they are actually depicting Santa as being a giant who can pluck cars off the street and (presumably) eat the squishy people inside after peeling the roof off like the lid on a can of peanuts.
This appears to be a car dealership, one that decided that it'd be a good idea to market their cars as mouth-watering festive snacks to their gargantuan Santzilla. The lesson here: Be good or Santa will fucking eat you and everyone you love, and not even the Army can stop him! Merry Christmas, kids! Buy a fucking car!
#4. Party Girl
That's a child's face embedded in a fat man's corpse.
Oh, look at this little showoff! Sure, Party Girl, juggling is cool, especially when you're doing it just to spell the word "party." But seriously, anyone could juggle if we all had a single, circular arm that stretched from one shoulder to the other. Get over yourself, kid.
Actually, the blob-like torso melting into the party banner makes us think the shape-shifting monster from The Thing got confused at a children's birthday party.
#3. The Chimera
This is why you should never fall asleep underneath the tree.
On the surface, including this precious little bauble on a list of disturbing Christmas decorations might seem like an odd choice. After all, it's just an ornament with little bird legs. But allow us to point a few things out.
For one thing, look at those goddamned legs. They will end you, make no mistake about that. If it's not already an unwritten law that Christmas ornaments shouldn't have talons, it most certainly should be. But there's something else.
As adorable as this may look while it's standing (and while you're certifiably insane), that's going to completely fall apart when you hang it on the tree and realize that, thanks to that hook placement that we're guessing is supposed to look like a nose or something, it's now laying on its back. That is, it now looks like a dead bird, hanging by its beak.
#2. Joy?
Oh the joy of autoerotic asphyxiation.
Remember that Orphan movie from a few years ago? The one where the little girl was really a middle-aged prostitute who refused to remove the ribbon from around her neck because she was hiding a scar related to her past and also spoiler alert? This isn't really like that. The ribbon is just to hide the fact that "Joy" here doesn't have a neck. It's a design choice made purely out of necessity. No human neck can support a head like that.
#1. Giant Disfigured Santa
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was like a stroke victim's!
This tragically disfigured Santa Claus statue resides in Auckland, New Zealand. It's 66 frightening feet tall and, much to plenty of children's horror, it also moves. According to this story, The Aucklander reported that "his finger struggled to keep up a pace of 27 beckons per minute or 25,920 times a day." That's right -- it's finger does a rapid, "Come over here, little girl" motion. Oh, and it winks, too.
Unsurprisingly, residents of Auckland were uncomfortable with being beckoned to by something that looks like it wants your attention so it can ask if you're comfortable with being followed home. They literally performed plastic surgery to make this thing look human again. Of course, during the remodeling period, they had to cover its face ...
We're going to guess that the unveiling involved a great deal of mirror smashing and maniacal laughter.
You can find more from Adam at Alert Level Stork! He also helped to write Four Humors, an anthology of short stories published for charity by Wordplague. His friend Kevin Axt also runs the brilliantly funny webcomic Donuts for Sharks and you should go there right now.

Minecraft on the way to 54 million units sold, PS3 Edition hits 2 millionWritten by: / / 1 Comment
If you were under the (false) impression that the immensely popular Minecraft was losing steam and favour with its fans, then let's talk about some recently revealed sales numbers, shall we?
Originally launched as a full release in late 2011 on PC (following an extended beta period dating back to mid-2009), Minecraft has gone on to find its way onto mobile devices and Xbox 360, with a release on PlayStation 3 more recently, too. All told, the game has sold almost 54 million units worldwide, making it one of the most successful games of all time.
Posting on Twitter recently, Mojang's business manager Patrick Geuder wrote:
Minecraft console editions together just passed Minecraft for PC/Mac. And across all platforms we've sold almost 54 million copies.
— Patrick Geuder Saga (@pgeuder) June 25, 2014
Mojang's Daniel Kaplan also chimed in with some console sales numbers, writing:
zomg over 13 million copies of Minecraft sold on Xbox360 and over 2 million copies sold on PS3. Yey! Thanks all for the awesome support!
— Daniel Kaplan (@Kappische) June 25, 2014
Is there any sign that sales of Minecraft will slow down any time soon?
With releases planned on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Xbox One in August, it's not likely, so it may just be best to give in and start building a virtual safehouse in the game to pledge your allegiance before Notch and Mojang (inevitably) take over the world.
Are you still playing Minecraft? Have you ever played it?

George Saunders to Syracuse grads: Find the cure for selfishness
In January, the New York Times Magazine published an effusive profile of George Saunders, a wonderful and highly celebrated fiction writer and (it would seem) a wise and humble and fascinating man. (Saunders also talked to the website The Awl about faith; John McGreevy linked to that interview in March.) [Update: his latest collection is reviewed by John Garvey in the August issue of Commonweal.]
Now the NYT Mag has published a commencement speech given by Saunders at Syracuse University on its blog, and friends of mine have been linking to it on Facebook all day. I thought I'd read enough exemplary commencement speeches, especially since it's August -- but they're right, this is one you want to read.
"What I regret most in my life," Saunders told the graduates, "are failures of kindness.Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and I responded…sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly." Not cruelly, in other words, just not compassionately enough. He describes a particular encounter from his childhood, and similar moments in my own life sprang to mind immediately. What rankles, in retrospect, is the knowledge of how little being kind -- or loving, or charitable -- would have cost me, and how much good it might have done.
With that in mind, Saunders suggests being "kinder" as a worthy goal in life. And he offers a convincing explanation for why it's so difficult to achieve. His analysis is gentle, probing, challenging -- a fine sermon in a secular frame. But his is not an entirely secular perspective -- "be kind" is not a cheap replacement for "be moral" or "be good." And I was grateful that his prescription for achieving kindness makes room for religion as a means to that end. How can we become "less selfish...more open, and more loving"?
Education is good; immersing ourselves in a work of art: good; prayer is good; meditation's good; a frank talk with a dear friend; establishing ourselves in some kind of spiritual tradition – recognizing that there have been countless really smart people before us who have asked these same questions and left behind answers for us.
Saunders talks about selfishness as a sickness, and urges the graduates to pursue a cure. (Read it all here.) I think that's a fairly good explanation of what religion is supposed to be. What do you think? And if you agree, is it working?

I was suprised to see a young (30 year old as they say brought up Catholic, aka, not praciticing) relative of mine post this on his Facebook.

Not to say that 'kindness" and "mercy" are the same thing, but still, I'm wondering if a comparison can be made between what Saunders said, and what Francis said in his news conference on the way back to Rome.
John Allen spoke of "the one-word interpretive key to Francis' news conference and arguably to his entire papacy to date: "mercy." He spoke of Francis "insisting what the world needs to hear from the church above all today is a message of compassion." Said Francis in the news conference, "I believe this is the time of mercy. . . . The church is a mother. . . and it must go down this path of mercy. It must find mercy for everyone, no?
Gene --
Indeed that statement of Francis' about mercy is splendid, and John Allen's article relating it to the rest of his papacy is particularly good. The article is at:
I do believe that Allen is right: mercy is Francis' central theme, and that is why people are responding so strongly to him.
I'd say that mercy includes kindness, but goes beyond kindness by adding forgiveness.
I've been a fan of Saunders' since "The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil." A frequent theme in his stories--getting stronger in his "Tenth of December" collection--is the struggle Our Young People have reaching beyond conventional consumerism, hover parenting, and other modern strictures, to make real connections with other people. Youth are often victims in his stories, hapless, inarticulate, somewhat stupid, but the implication is that they mirror our vapid culture ... and still there is that spark of the soul that can't be killed in them.
As a cradle Catholic, the Church should be proud of having shaped Saunders' sensibilities ... and perhaps sorry that it lost him.
It is now really axiomatic that many people who have no religion act better than many people who belong to a religion. The so-called humanist vs the Christian as far as goodness is concerned. While much of this is true I am always suspicious of humanists who think they can do it without God. In my experience my closeness to God always made me a kinder, charitable person. Away from God, though the talk might have been there, the walk was not. Jesus said: "Without me you can do nothing."
Virtue without God is always suspect , no matter how genuine it may seem.
I like Mollie's query about whether religion is the quest to find a cure for selfishness. I'm don't know if Saunders is a "humanist," and I'm not sure that I think that humanists, as Bill suggests, try are trying to "do it" without God, just without a church (unless they're Unitarians, though some of them prefer the term "fellowships"). That's not to knock churches, of course. I stay loosely connected to the Church (Raber and I have been reading about Dorothy Day this summer) because that's where I'm most likely to get a knock upside the head about whether I'm really seeking the "cure" or whether I'm just rationalizing my actions so I can sleep good at night.
Jimmy, no, not the same, but wasn't he great in "Rebecca"?
The prescription for selfishenss? Children.
Prescription for selfishness is not children. There are far too many neglected children.
At the risk of starting a rhetorical war, children are being farmed out to institutions ("pre-kindegarten or junior kindegarten, proposals to start pre-school, daycare, childcare, etc, etc.) so that parents can work to maintain what they think is a decent standard of living so the the child is not disadvantaged.
Now in many instances this is an economic necessity but not all instances. When my daughter was born, we downsized, went into debt, so that my wife could stay home to care for daughter until she was able to go to school and wife could begin to work part time. I know many women would like to be able to do this but there are multiple demands. I think we need to get priorities straight.
We should be doing everything we can to encourage parents to stay home with their children including extending maternity/paternity benefits to four or five years. There is no need to erect daycare centres under the auspices of early childhood education.

Where I work each PC is refreshed every 3 years. It is the same time for developers or other R&D personnel. However, developers have access to more powerful equipment. So, when an administrative assistant get his/her computer replaced, it will be replaced with a normal model. When developers or other members of the R&D organization needs to replace their computers it will get replaced normally by enterprise models.
There is an exception clause, where non-developers or non-r&d could get powerful equipment, but it should be justified by at least two managers.
Gear is replaced on a 3-5 year rotation based on what you do. The Power users and Admins get their machines replaced every 3 years. We then trickle down those machines to people who are running older hardware but don't have a need to have a cutting edge machine. It's much cheaper to add two years to a hardware warranty than to buy even most of the cheapest of the low end desktops. After 5 years we retire most of the hardware, but keep some of it around as spares just in case.
Typically, when they break.
With the work that most of the users are doing on them (Word, Excel, Power Point, I.E.), there's very little benefit in upgrading them all the time.
As for the developers, the compiling is such a small part of the change-compile-test cycle now, unless the application is pretty massive, you don't get much benefit.
Five to Six Years.
Where I work, most PCs are replaced every five years or so. Developer PCs are replaced more frequently - every three years. Most staff use basic applications (Office, Web, etc), but since developers are running the IDEs, Database tools, development servers, etc, they get preference for newer hardware.
It seems to be a rolling target in our organization, depending on the current state of PCs, the amount of warranty left on machines and the requirements of the end users.
With Windows XP Pro machines there just isn't really much of a requirement to replace any PC that's < 5 years old for most employees of an organization. Developers don't get newer equipment more often unless there's some justification for it -- usually more RAM does the trick.
Typically any machine that has a significant problem once it's 3 yr warranty expires will be replaced. Other than that targetted replacement of the oldest machines seems to be the norm.
Exceptions can be made with management approval.
I don't upgrade my systems on a schedule, but I typically replace them every five years. Sometimes I get even a little bit longer out of them depending on the user. I usually do "build to order" (BTO or "CTO") when I purchase machines, and I configure them with both the specific user's requirements and long life in mind.
I also run software way behind the bleeding edge. Just getting ready to roll out Office 2007, for instance. When you're not constantly upgrading software (when there's no compelling reason to), you don't find yourself having to upgrade hardware as often.
For our standard user we are on a 5 year cycle, We aren't moving to vista (the current plan is to bypass it and go straight to windows 7, but not until at least spring 2010). Most of our users are still running Office 2003 and some are on Open Office. We upgrade the developers and a few superusers based more on need than any schedule.
I work at a mom-and-pop ISP, and as such we don't really have a policy beyond "when it dies". This year, we managed to get some new LCD monitors. Most of our computers are pretty old (4-5 years), but I make sure we don't ask much of them either. My workstation doesn't do much beyond using the internet in the usual ways and connecting to our servers via SSH. I do, on the other hand need plenty of desktop space to multitask in and as such my monitor is quite a lot bigger than everyone else's. I used to have 2 17" CRTs on my desk.
The fattest software we use is Filemaker for our customer database. In fact, if it weren't for that, we could all be running Linux in here.
Unfortunately our company's unwritten policy is "when it dies". Our oldest computers are Pentium 3's running Windows 2000 Professional; we had three of them when I started at the company 2 years ago, and we're down to just one now. A lot of people left the company last year, so I've been cycling the hardware down the "tech food chain" and getting rid of the older stuff. The CEO is finally starting to realize that this is a serious problem and has asked for a system replacement plan.
If it were entirely up to me, we'd get rid of computers after three years, which is when many warranties expire, but in the interest of trying to get my proposal approved I've conceded to a five-year lifespan. My plan is that each employee will receive a "new" computer every two years. I've assessed the performance requirements of each user and created a numeric index to represent their required performance level. Users with a high performance score will receive actual new computers. Their computers will be refurbished and passed down to employees with a low performance score.
After the fourth year, the machine will either be sent to the factory floor or the loaner pool. Computers on the factory floor are used for low-impact tasks like printing labels, reporting scrap, completing production orders, etc.
The loaner pool is a bunch of spare systems on hand in case someone's computer dies, for overlap in employment between people going on maternity leave and their replacement (so that each can work on a computer during the training period), or someone needs to borrow a laptop who normally uses a desktop.
Although I've completed my proposal, my manager insists on reviewing it before we show it to the CEO, and he's too busy to review it, so the whole thing is stuck in limbo.

#SequesterThis: Twitter users suggest budget cuts to save White House tours
According to ABC News, the canceled tours will save the government $18,000 per week. NBC News figures put the total higher, at $74,000 per week.
"The phrase 'jumping the shark' describes that gimmicky moment when something once considered significant is exposed as ludicrous. This is the week the White House jumped the sequester," Kimberley Strassel wrote at The Wall Street Journal. "The precise moment came Tuesday when the administration announced that it was canceling public tours of the White House blaming budget cuts . . . Americans might not understand the technicalities of the sequester, but this was something else entirely. Was the president actually claiming there was not a single other government item — not one — that could be cut instead of the White House tours? Really?
Thanks to the combination of pushback against the canceled tours and Twitter campaigns with hashtags like #SequesterThis, Americans are providing the administration with suggestions for other cuts that could help reinstate the White House tours.
Here's a look at some of the suggested cuts.

Nothing irks me more than to hear or read about "another" vacation for the White House family! I actually lost count of how many there were during the first administration. Why in the world are the tax payers required to support the cost of outlandish trips, using the the "official jet, fuel, etc.? We, the people, do well to even take a week-end trip all of 40 miles away from home! Am I the only one who has the hair on the back of my neck literally stand at attention knowing that "I" am paying for their wonderful frolicking at their own personal command? Eliminate those vacations and all the extravaganza that goes along with it, and, can't help but see less of a strain on "our" budget!

A number of the suggestions should be taken. One was that we listen to the inspector generals, and that would save us $67 billion. Sixty-seven billion? That is not too far a cry from the whole $85 billion the Sequester is saving us. If the inspector generals were hired to keep us from wasting money, shouldn't we be listening to them, anyway, almost automatically? Why is it we are not saving that $67 billion?

Would be a neat little thing if Congress and the president listened to the people, and took up many of these ideas. Sometimes, the citizens can have as good of ideas as elected officials, so why not listen to the people? Did someone say, "government of the people, by the people, for the people"? Would be wonderful if a Congress member picked up the advice and introduced legislation to enact many of these proposals.

Rather than cut the white house tours (sounds fishy to me and like he might be up to no good) why not cut the lavish foolish vacations for the first family? We are already at the $100's million. There should be no further traveling by the Potus and his family until the deficit has been reduced by half unless they are personally financed from HIS own bank account!

I think stopping the White House tours is a good idea. It puts a visual image on what a lot of people are having to deal with in private. There are a lot of better places the mmoney could be spent (like providing funds for school breakfasts for needy chilren).

@Furry1993---two questions:
* why have children if you're poor, and can't provide?
* most of these poor parents collect food stamps. Can't they create meals for their children?
Government aren't our parents, and people being responsible would save a ton.

So since the author isn't going to tell you why the White House tours got cut and why it's become such a rallying cry to Republicans, I will. The sequester cut the Secret Service budget. When they (the Secret Service) went to see where they could cut, the least essential item on their security duties was White House tours. Why, out of all items, this has become the most essential government service in the eyes of Republican congress people? Because they're the ones who dole out the tickets and it's making them look bad.

When the President says that the sequester cuts aren't smart, he's right. The way the sequester is set up, the cuts were defined by Congress and it was up to each department to figure out how to best enact them while impacting essential services the least. This was the least impacting to the Secret Service. But the way these cuts were defined by Congress, these "suggestions" don't help because they all move money earmarked (again by Congress) to different departments.

"I think stopping the White House tours is a good idea. It puts a visual image on what a lot of people are having to deal with in private."
A visual image is the ONLY thing this White House has to offer. There is no substance behind their claims. Did you know that of the $8 billion in TARP money, there is still approximately $200 billion that has not yet been spent? Think about it. We were told that if we didn't cough up this money, the world markets would collapse. That was 5 years ago. And we still have $200 billion that hasn't been spent. Can you explain why? Can you explain how a small 2% cut in the Federal budget has affected you or ANYONE that you know? Barack Obama has no credibility. That's why nobody cares if we cut $85 billion from a budget of $3.6 TRILLION!

Do I think our "leaders" will pay attention to our suggestions?! They haven't in the past, so why would they start now? **Interesting that so many comments mentioned the cost, and frequency, of vacations this president has taken at our expense, and will probably continue to do so.

mytymouse09, a little fact checking will show Obama has spent an average of 3-4 weeks a year on "vacation". Although a president is never really on vacation. President George W Bush, on the other hand averaged 4 months a year. Reagan, averaged 2 months a year.

President Ronald Reagan worked while on vacation, remember the signing of the
biggest tax cut in US history at his ranch? He paid for his own way especially
at the Western White House insisting that the hay for his horses be paid by him
and NOT the taxpayers. He didn't collect a check for being governor of
California or the Presidency.
Governor Romney never received a check for being a governor nor would he had he been elected President in 2012 by citizens who appreciate someone who pays his own way in life.

First off, all Presidents are still working when on vacation. There is not a moment when they are out of comminication. And secondly, your claim about Reagan is so easily proven false. His tax returns are online for the years he served as President and they prove, without a doubt, that he did indeed collect a salary. And no, he did not donate his salary either. Governor Romney wouldn't miss $200K a year. It's hardly a sacrifice.

The reason that Fox News and their hoard is crying about the closing of the
White House tours is probably related to the loss of profit revenue of the
businessmen who rob the public in association with those tours.
In my view, the reason for the business war on the federal government is being waged at the behest of the giant business organizations in their quest for power and wealth. The big boys are ready to challenge our national government for control over the mass of people and their wealth.

Every time you purchase goods or services in America you are paying for the vacations, holidays, frolicking and a whole bunch more for the rich and powerful, mostly businessmen. The time off for the president and his family is miniscule compared to the excesses of rich businessmen.
Could it be that you have other reasons than the money for wanting the president to work like a slave.

This recipe will save your family calories, fat and sodium when you swap in PopChips rather than regular potato chips. As a bonus,
PopChips offers multiple flavors – so you can serve barbeque "fried" chicken one night and cheddar "fried" chicken the next.
Popped Chicken
Serving Size : 4
1 pound chicken breast halves without skin -- sliced
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups PopChips -- Parmesan Garlic, Barbeque, or Cheddar (2 oz.)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese -- grated
1. Place chicken into a glass bowl and cover with buttermilk. Stir to coat. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400F.
3. Place PopChips in a plastic sealable bag, and crush into small pieces. Place crushed chips into a dry saucepan over medium heat. In less than a minute, when you hear the hiss from the chips, add the parmesan cheese and remove from heat. Toss the cheese with the chips until well incorporated.
4. Drain the chicken and discard the buttermilk. Dredge the chicken in the PopChip crumb mixture and place on a baking rack over a sheet pan.

Hector Camacho, Minus the 'Macho'
Hector Jr., Son of Slain Fighter, Mourns His Famous Father but Is Nothing Like Him
The emptiness fills Hector Camacho Jr., though not in the clichéd way the word—emptiness—is often used. He is not lost without his father, and he does not long for his guidance and support. Hell, on occasion he's not even sure that he needs his father. There was, after all, the nonstop worry and anguish and fear. Is Dad doing drugs? Is Dad running with the wrong people? Is Dad missing? Hurt? Incarcerated? Dead?
"It's hard to explain," the son says. "Very hard to explain."
Then, he tries. Hector Camacho Jr. asks whether you know what it is to be the child—while also being the parent; whether you know what it is to seek nurturing—but to be the nurturer? "My dad wasn't one to do homework with me, to help with school projects," he says by phone from his home in Puerto Rico. "But I loved him so much."
A pause. "It is complicated."
Really, though, it isn't. Camacho Jr. is a boxer, just as his dad was a boxer. They share a name, a ring style and a love-hate relationship with a sport that, the son rightly says, "rewards you and rapes you."
When Camacho Sr. and a friend, Adrian Mojica Moreno, were shot to death in Puerto Rico in November while sitting in a parked car, the fight world mourned the loss of a four-time world champion—but minus the shock that usually accompanies a 50-year-old's murder. Police said that nine small bags of cocaine were found in Moreno's pockets and that a 10th open bag was found in the car. (This week, police said that forensic evidence cleared two men suspected in the killing. No one has been charged.)
"When you live a certain way…" Camacho Jr. says.
His words stop. The son is 34, an OK-but-not-great light middleweight boxer whose next fight—April 28 at the Barclays Center against Brooklyn's Dmitriy Salita—will be the first since his dad's death. Camacho Jr. has now spent the better part of 2½ months talking to people about why his father chose a path littered with drugs, alcohol, violence and arrests; why he couldn't simply be Hector Camacho, minus the "Macho."
It would be an arduous task for any offspring, but an especially difficult one for someone who, though compared with his dad 10,000 times per year, is so drastically different from him.
Hector (Macho) Camacho, after all, was a human lava lamp. He didn't walk into a ring so much as he peacocked, decked out in a rainbow of colors, fashions, designs and feather crests. He fought with bravado and chutzpah and audacity, and won titles doing so.
Yet for all of his pugilistic greatness, Camacho lacked a compass. If his actions hurt others, so be it. If using drugs tonight would result in trouble tomorrow, well, such is life.
The son is the complete opposite. Sensitive. Aware. Camacho Sr. was 15 when his namesake entered the world. He wasn't at the hospital for the boy's delivery, and missed most of his childhood. As his dad was enjoying one multimillion-dollar fight after another, Hector Jr. was being raised by his single mother, Maida Olido, his grandmother, Luz Sanchez, and two aunts, in a two-bedroom apartment in the Spanish Harlem projects on 112th Street and Second Avenue.
"I would tell people my dad was Hector Camacho, the boxer, and no one would believe me," Camacho Jr. said. "They'd say, 'If he's your dad, why is he making all that money and you're living here?'"
The answer still escapes the son. Like a puppy seeking affection, he would anxiously anticipate his father's rare visits, and loved the times he traveled to Puerto Rico to spend summer weeks by his side. "My dad was from the streets, and he had no idea how to be a parent," said Junior. "That's not an excuse—it's real."
The stories are painful—the father locking the son in the closet; the father forcing the son to fight bigger, stronger kids in the name of toughness. Camacho Jr. became a boxer to follow the footsteps. "I loved him," Junior says. "But he wasn't an ideal father figure."
And yet, as he spends day after day in a Puerto Rican boxing gym, preparing for Salita, Camacho Jr. finds himself haunted by a man and a legacy.
He is the father of two daughters. He is a devout Muslim who, unlike his dad, eschews partying for quiet time at home. "He's really known as a nice kid—always has been," says Steve Farhood, a boxing historian and Showtime analyst. "I've never heard a bad thing about him as a person. Which isn't something you can say about his father."
Boxing, however, isn't a place where kindness and decency win points. Camacho Jr. enters the Salita bout with a 54-5-1 lifetime record, burdened by comparisons he can't satisfy and the label of disappointment.
When people speak of his father, words like courageous and dogged flow from the lips. "The flashy guy with the curl on his forehead turned out to be one tough ---," says Farhood. "He went the distance with Julio Cesar Chavez, with Oscar De La Hoya. He was fearless."
The son, on the other hand, has never met expectations. Had he been named Joe Smith Jr. or Bob Jones Jr.—maybe. But Hector Camacho Jr. was required to be a champion; to be tough and powerful and unstoppable.
It hasn't worked out that way. A career that began with the promise of a 32-0 record never fully recovered from the night of July 7, 2001, when Camacho Jr.—a 6-to-1 favorite against journeyman Jesse James Leija—seemed to quit after sustaining a cut, via head butt, to his right eye. At the end of the fifth round Camacho indicated he preferred not to continue, and the bout was ruled a no contest.
At that moment, as the boos reigned down upon him at Brooklyn's KeySpan Park, Camacho changed. No longer was he the next in line, the latest great Camacho. He was reduced to merely another forgettable pug; one who, eight months later, would lose to someone named Omar Gabriel Weis.
"I've let people down," Camacho says. "Too often I relied on talent, not hard work. I've had a wake-up call, and I'm finally hip to the game. People want me to be my father, and that can't happen. We were different people.
"But I can be me."

Hi T@nguy,
Are you able to setup your proxy system-wide in IE's connection settings? Open the Run... dialog (WinKey + R) and run "control.exe Inetcpl.cpl,Connections,4" to open up right to the Connections tab in the IE settings dialog. Open "LAN Settings" and setup your proxy information there. Then the proxy is setup system-wide.
If there is a reason you cannot do this, we can generate a license file for you and you can install it manually. I will need you to email me the MAC address from a [permanent] network adapter on your system; you can run "ipconfig /all" to obtain one. I'll then reply with a license file and instructions. jarred [at] sencha.com. Thanks.

Culinarians arrived in droves to one of the hottest celebrations on our shores—Red O Restaurant's grand opening party at Fashion Island benefiting The Global Genes Project. A red carpet (but of course) carried those 1,500 guests into the bash, which served up margaritas and artful Mexican cuisine—seafood from the raw bar, taco samplings and appetizers like crab tostaditas. But there was much more to explore. The space was designed by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, who was on hand to chat with gourmands as they checked out the bar, the lounge and the dining room. And a live band kept the soiree sizzling well into the wee hours. Spicy! –Photos by Garrett Davis of Capture Imaging

I was reading on up Lagrangian points and the restricted three-body problem.
From what I was able to tell, the Lagrangian points are 5 points in a two-body system such that a third body would be relatively at rest. The first three are unstable, and the last two are stable.
How is this possible? Because we know from Kepler's laws that the orbits are in the shape of ellipses with the sun at a focus, and we also know the planes sweep out equal areas in equal time and so the speed varies. And so, how can the third body have a constant distance when there is an ever-changing speed gap between the orbital speeds.
And could anyone provide (visually) an explanation for the Lagrangian points, how to deduce them, and what assumptions were made in order to deduce them?
LE: So, in the three body problem, the orbits more closely resemble circles than ellipses? And if so, is the speed relatively constant so that the difference in distance between the third and second body is negligible?

New Sugar Alternative Backed by Respected MDs
Zsweet is a new calorie free sugar alternative. Doctors Andrew Weil and Nicholas Perricone both stand by ZSweet as a safe and healthy natural sugar alternative. According to Dr. Weil ZSweet is a blend of a sugar alcohol that naturally occurs in many fruits and fermented foods like soy sauce, cheese and wine (as well as other fruit extracts). It is about 70 percent sweet as sugar and lacks the bitter aftertaste of other artificial sweeteners. Baking with ZSweet is unbelievably easy and best of all it's not to sweet so it does not cause sugar cravings like other no calorie sweeteners. It's also good for controlling body weight because it has no effect on blood sugar, so it's also safe for diabetics. Zsweet can be found at most natural food stores (such as Whole Foods) and some large scale grocers.
Check out Christine's newest culinary creation made with ZSweet. These muffins are so low in calories you can add a little butter and honey and not feel guilty.

2-0 victory in the end for me, with Messi scoring twice. It was in Russia too, and I've already beaten Juve in Italy, so I've got my group all wrapped up.

Well I am a few weeks into my first ever real lower league game, playing as Backwell United, and I am enjoying it so far.
You can follow my game here:
First 2 league games resulted in 2 wins, although both were pretty unconvincing.
Just beat Izarra. Got distracted. :o

My star CM, weirdly, has been Lauren. Have a good enough DR to put Lauren back into midfield where he started.
Cultural Leonesa 0-1 Pontevedra
Disasterously lost both of my strikers to injury for the next month though. Moreno and Derlei.
3-0 over Alaves.
We've won 4 out of 5 so far and made me jump 5 places.

The El Classico is about to start! Hopefully I'll be able to knock a few past Madrid
Ah, Messi such a hero. 1-0 up on Madrid
Pontevedrea 2-2 Lugo
Shockingly wasteful.
And now 2-0 through Pedro who scored a goal that looked almost identical to Robben's goal against Man. United, if not better
Ended 2-0, it was a great game as well. Both teams had high numbers of shots on target, and I'm really surprised that I kept a clean sheet. There was one play where Raul was played clean through on goal with only the goalkeeper to beat, and he blasted it right at him.
Messi got MotM
Bilbao Ath 2-1 Pontevedra
Looking awful.
4-0 against rivals Levante. We're up to 9th now.
Pontevedra 4-1 Lemona
1st vs 2nd. Massive win. Gerardo gets his first 3 goals of the season!
Only 5 points clear still - Lemona dropped to 5th. Top 8 are within 10 points of each other.
Hersh, I've got Pontevedra now!
Wow. That Pens/Sens matchup was insanely good!
I've just noticed that I have a very good looking striker called Igor out on loan at Levante and may get him back in a month or so!
Might be too late to register him though.
edit: I can't have non-EU players, but he has only Brazilian nationality. He qualifies for Spain in a few weeks though, so fingers crossed he gets Spanish citizenship soon. Weirdly, his history shows him having played 3 seasons for us previously, with a great return.
Last edited by Hershie; 17-04-2010 at 01:38.
oh, nevermind. He has Portugese. -idiot- :o
God only knows why they loaned him out. His attributes on the game are immense!
How the mighty have fallen.
Alaves 1-2 Pontevedra.
How'd your game go Deisler?
Drew 1-1 with Pontevedra.
Just couldn't get the team to break through. We were all over them, they had 3 shots, one on target.
Any suggestion on improvements?
About to enter season 3, 30 mil to spend. Just got Pato after he became unsettled via my consistence and also the fact that AC Milan finished 14th in Serie A.
Into the Christmas break. Looking for a few frees to strengthen my title push.
imo just go for youngsters, perhaps as long-term options for key positions or those to give a chance in the cups.
Baseggio to join to strengthen the midfield.
I need more youngsters. 6/22 have to be U23..
Which region does Russia belong in on the scouting?
Eastern Europe iirc.
Eastern Europe?
But most of it is in Asia, only about 1/3 of it belongs to Europe right?
Probably not even 1/3 if that

Will be staying up for the duration tonight/today. Train journey from Sheffield to Cornwall = sleep time. Now = FM.
Bringing in Sulley Muntari for 20 mil. Last season if we didn't play Fabregas my midfield was a bit short but he would be able to fill the gaps. Absolutely insanely good on FM.
Baseggio hit the bar with a 30 yarder on his debut.
Cristian Diaz sent off on his.
Sestao 3-0 Pontevedra. Shambolic defending.
Does anyone else find that the AI doesn't seem to catch on with buying players and getting the right age of their squad?
I'm seeing alot of 30 year olds still around in teams...
Ferrol 1-6 Pontevedra
Pretty even game with an insane score.
This team are good when they try..
Two top quality players have agreed to join in the summer.
Jan Blazek and Botia.
On the hunt for more.
We're in the playoffs.
iirc there's no auto promotion, but the top 4 enter a playoff. We're well ahead (thanks to a record 12 wins in a row!) and are thus guaranteed a playoff place with about 10 games to spare. 16 points clear at the top with 7 to go.
Weirdly this season we've not been in the Copa del Rey. :confused:
A win (4-3!) vs Izarra, while Lemona lost at Leonesa means we win the league.
Lost 2-1 to 19th-placed Gimnastic.
We lost goals to mistakes and their keeper pulled a Gomes in the last 20 mins.
Uh oh. I registered barely any natural DCs and now, predictably, both my main are injured. Luckily I think they're out for the frankly meaningless end of season games (which I may holiday) but back for the playoffs.
Only 2 points from our last 3 games. Bad time for a loss of form - need to pick up for the playoffs.
Only 1 win in our last 6 games of the season.
Playoff time.
Promoted in the most dramatic way possible.
90+4th minute penalty. 1-1 in the first leg, 1-1 entering stoppage time in the second..
Then this happened.
Hmm, wait a sec. It said I was promoted, yet now I have a final.
This is confusing.
Pontevedra 2-0 Poli Ejido
Poli Ejido 3-3 Pontevdra
Shame my team's defending is so poor and my strikers have given up, but who cares now?
Bristol City 2-0 Plymouth
Its just not happening sat outside the relegation spots, De Laet is an absolute shocker of a player, so awful but I need a decent LB
I wanted to loan De Laet but he chose Southampton. I've had to play the playoffs without centrebacks.
Lucky it wasnt 3 they missed a pen in the first half too
He's so awful, he's been at fault for almost 1 goal a game.
Plymouth 2-0 Ipswich
De Laet doesnt play and we win... amazing
Just found an awesome assman who was willing to join for hardly any wages. :']
3rd 2-0 result in a row this time losing 2-0 away to middlesborough
Taking the ambitious approach to signing new players now, hoping our finances hold out. :o
Drew 1-1 at home to Doncaster.
Zavon Hines finally scores and im finally happy there wasnt another 2-0 even though id rather had won it by that.
Jan Blazek
Massimilliano Tagliani
Ariel Ibagaza
In so far.
I'm always ridiculously ambitious. High wages for the first team are fine if they're going to perform well enough to pay for themselves. Not looking to spend long in Adelante.
If you're interested:
Jan Blazek - Pacey young Czech striker from Slovan Liberec
Massimilliano Tagliani - Italy U21 DC/DM/MC from Fiorentina
Botia - Spain U21 DC/RB from Barca
Ariel Ibagaza - Argentina capped (who isn't? ) AMLC from Villarreal.
Three more in.
Julio Cruz
Fabio Celestini
Sashi Chalwe (legend)
Sounds good
Are you in there with a load of B teams? They can be quite useful for gaining promotion from mid table
Weirdly I don't think there are any. Some tough teams too. Sociedad and Osasuna amongst others.
We're predicted 17th (out of 22). At least it's a simple promotion system!
oh yeah.
Salif Diao.
(and Tamir Cohen)
I cant seem to bring anyone decent in... I have all 4 U23 english loanees in cathcart, De Laet, Hines and Judge.
Snapped Richard Hughes on a free from portsmouth
All this happened in the summer, its just a shame I have 2k left in the wage bucket with a grand total of 325k transfer money.
My team are really old.
Reda Johnson, my Benin CB has managed 3 assists in 2 games in international duty... are they playing him in midfield even though he is "inneffective"?
Should say where he's being played under 'positions'.
I haven't ever had much worse news. And the Spain manager was watching the match to keep an eye on him for his next Spain squad... The world cup is only a few months away aswell...
Zavon hines is on fire... but as per usual im gonna throw this 2-0 lead away.
already 2-1 after 50
Well that was unexpected, went down to 10 men with 20 mins left, and went on to score 5 mins into injury time
Plymouth 3-0 Barnsley
We've strung 2 wins in a row...its not even my birthday.
We do however do our utmost best to not have clean sheets though.
Another 3-0 win at home against a yorkshire team...this one being sheffield utd
4 game unbeaten run comes to an end away to swansea, even though I played my 2nd team. 2-1
Just managed a 1-0 away win at CSKA, bit of revenge for the Super Cup defeat.
I don't mean to be rude, but do we need a post for every result?
I mean, I'm all up for a bit of informal discussion about our games but there's not really a lot we can say in reply to a one off meaningless result. Would it be possible to restrict it to matches/events that might be of a little bit more interest to people?
Transfers done for the summer I think.
16 players in. :o
Heh, yeah, I'll try to cut down on the mini posts.
I miss the old thread
Pfffffft. Fine.
First Adelante match is against our only rivals - Celta.
Cracking game against Preston
1-0 up after 8mins
3-1 Down by half time
Finished 3-3
Celta 3-1 Pontevedra
We were the better team.

3 wins and a draw sends me from 21st to 9th
1 draw and 2 defeats sends me 9th - 15th
The top 6 look already sorted and its only christmas.
Christian Vieri finally scores for me a late equaliser against reading
BWP hit the bar at the death.
Man City only hit 2 past me
keeper saved about 60 shots and got a rating of 6.6.
:'( I hate the miraculous team talks. This stopped me from reaching the final of the Champions League... And Rene usest to play for me aswell...
Played 6 games in the league and won them all as Arsenal manager in my first season. Not really been hard games have been all against the lower half of the table apart from spurs. Struggled to win away at Doncaster in the league Cup only won 1-0! Only signed one player on loan Sanchez from Udinese who has done alright hes only a youngster but i want to sign him permanently if the price is right. Got 25 mill to spend dont fancy spending any of it at the moment.
Nope... my RB was at fault for the 2nd to due to his lack of pace against Adebayor!
Just got back from my game. Scored one, assisted 1, but also missed a PK, so I really didn't play that well
Summary of me with Barca so far:
Xavi has by far been my best player. He's got an average of something like 8.05 and assisted 15 goals. Ronaldo won all the awards that year, but Xavi came in second for a bunch.
Messi has been decent for me, which isn't good. I want him to be magical and score tons of goals. Playing him as the advanced playmaker with 'roam from position checked' on the right wing. He's swapping with Pedro and Ibra/Bojan. Anyone got anything else better?
My record:
Pld: 17
Won: 15
Lost: 1
Draw: 1
For: 52
Against: 6
Points: 46
Results like these are cruel...
But especially when your team decides to waste a chance like this by running pointlessly down the flank and trying to score from a ridiculously tight angle and hitting the post two minutes earlier... And worstly this result could cost me the title if I don't win the next game and Chelsea do...
Another poor performance by Messi. Has anyone got him to work when playing as Barca/different team?
My former player scored the goal that lost us the premier league and Monti my super defender will now miss the world cup because some Man City so and so injured him for 3-4 months
I'm not entirely certain why but alot of my players are being injured for the world cup...
Just had another one... Vidal decided to ruin someone's opportunity to go to the world cup by injuring him in training.
Time to sell Vidal...
11 games now played top of the league by 3 points. Got a game in hand over 2nd so i can hopefully go more points clear. Sanchez has been amazing on the wings him and arshavin or walcott terrorising defensse. Diaby is doing well , fabregas is amazing along with Van Persie am enjoying it so far can hopefully win the league and maybe the league cup as well, am away to Leeds in the quarter finals.
Back from an evening out.
Almeria 3-2 Pontevedra
Drunken FM can't go well..
We're doing really ****.
I don't get this team.
5 games, 1 point.. then 2-0 win vs Osasuna.
Took a massive risk in my Liverpool save by flogging off Fernando Torres before the season starts for £29M.
He was injuried quite a bit and I now have 4 strikers competing for the lone roles;
Aymeric Garnier - he's our newest recruit from St Etienne for a compensation fee of £3M, potentially rising to 8.
Romelu Lukaku - Speaks for himself.
Sani Adams - Great looking player imo.
and finally Óliver Morales - Was one of my first signings and has improved alot since I bought him. He's rated the best striker but for a Complete Forward role, I'm not sure.
Did I make the right choice? Who is Nando's replacement?
Ugh, some player from Athletic scored a late equalizer that was clearly offside. I complained about it in the later press conference, and I was right! Incompetent fools. Now Real Madrid is going to be able to grab a foothold in the title race.

Is Ubuntu Chromium still safe to use since its so out of date?
Install Latest Version of Chromium from new PPA
While Chromium team ppas won't release new versions of Chromium browser, Alex Shkop will try to maintain more-or-less fresh releases of Chromium. Two PPAs were built for Chromium stable and Chromium development version. Install Latest Version of Chromium: For now, two PPAs only provide packages for Ubuntu 12.04.
To add Chromium Stable PPA (currently it's version 21):
To add Chromium Dev PPA (currently it's version 23):
After added a PPA, update your repository and install Chromium:
The version in the archive is current Chromium 18, that's three major stable releases behind Google Chrome, so yes, it is vulnerable for every issue Chrome has fixed in the past three releases.
Since Chromium is in universe it's really a manpower/best effort issue, whereas Firefox is in main and gets full security team support. Another option is to build/download your own Chromium or use Google Chrome, which is updated on Google's schedule. Personally I use Chrome.

Destroy all components at once
I want to destroy all components. I have an application that uses Log in and Log out, so when the user Logs out I need to destroy all windows that the user leaved active. The problem is that the application has a lot of windows son I don't want to do this...
etc . . .
Does sencha have a method to destroy all components at once???
30 Aug 2012 6:35 PM #2
If you destroy the viewport, all items are destroyed as well. Containers automatically destroy all child items.
4 Sep 2012 9:54 AM #3
I question whether Scott's approach is what the OP wants, destroying the entire viewport -- that seems a bit drastic.
Instead it appears that when a user logs out, they just want to destroy a number of windows the user may have open. My suggestion then is to store references to the open windows in a MixedCollection, or better yet a plain old Javascript object or array. Presuming that an array is used and it is named openWindows, then it would be a matter of something such as:
for (var i=0, n=openWindows.length; i<n; i++) { var openWindow = openWindows[i]; if (openWindow) { openWindow.destroy(); } }

I use Extjs 3.1

It took just over a half Thursday for the Leavenworth girls' soccer team to record its first goal of the season.
However, by that time, host Shawnee Heights had built too large of an advantage for the Lady Pioneers to overcome and the visitors lost 7-1.
"I was pretty happy with the ball movement," LV coach Ken Lott said. "We just need to sharpen up some of our runs and off the ball movement."
To begin the contest, Heights poured in four goals in the opening 40 minutes of play to hold a commanding 4-0 edge at half.
Kady Swanson got the Lady Pioneers on the board in the second half, thanks to an assist from Amara Drew.
Yet, that was all LV could manage while Heights added three more strikes for the six-goal victory.
"We are a new team with new players, though we did look like we have played together for a while," Lott said. "We were just a bit off, but I believe that if we can find our groove, we will surprise some teams this year."
Leavenworth, 0-1, will play at Shawnee Mission North Tuesday at 7 p.m.

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-- For the second straight time, the Azusa Pacific men's tennis team rallied for a narrow 5-4 win, this time defeating Point Loma in San Diego on Friday evening thanks to a familiar recipe.
After the Sea Lions went ahead 2-1 in doubles, the Cougars responded with four singles win, getting the clinching victory from Gary Yam at No. 4 to improve their record to 2-0 on the season. Yam, who's made a name for himself as Azusa Pacific's closer over the past two seasons, lived up to his 'Yam-time' moniker. Despite dropping the first set 6-3, the junior rattled off consecutive 6-3 wins to seal a three-set victory over Kaptan Kaster, and give the Cougars their 26th consecutive regular season win .
The other three Azusa Pacific wins came from Pascal Engel, Jan Meyer, and Tomas Aranguiz. At No. 2 Meyer registered a come from behind win to keep the Cougars alive, defeating Michael Zablan 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Engel tabbed a 6-4, 6-0 sweep of Daniel Milliken at No. 5, while Aranguiz rolled in a 6-0, 6-1 win against Kevin McKelligan at No. 5.
Point Loma's two singles wins came at No. 1 and No. 3, with Martin Blaho defeating Frederik Wilkens 1-6, 6-3, 6-3, and Brooks Baldinger beating Alan Leahy 6-3, 6-4.
In doubles play Point Loma took a 2-1 lead. Yam and Leahy notched Azusa Pacific's lone doubles win with a swift 8-0 win at No. 3 over Milliken and McKelligan. The Sea Lions, however, evened the score at 1-1 with an 8-2 win over Meyer and Engel at No. 1, before Wilkens and Aranguiz suffered an 8-5 loss at No. 2.
The Cougars will continue play tomorrow at UC San Diego before returning home for a tilt against former Golden State Athletic Conference rival Concordia on Monday.

This question already has an answer here:
- Animation: mid-state 1 answer
At the moment I have a simple static texture. Now I want to animate my sprite. The texture is a simple human. When the user press the enter button, the human gets into state2. This is the standart state during gameplay. If the user presses now "space" the sprite should get into state4(4th texture). This would be very unsmooth, so I decided to make a State3(ist just displayed very short to make the animation smooth). Now the sprite is in state4. If the user now releas the "space"-key the sprite should return into State2. For smoothness there is State3 short between.
State1 "press enter" --> State2 --- "press space" --> (short State3 for smoothness) --> State4 --> "release space" --> (short State3) --> State2
I hope you understand what I mean :)

Authorities: 5 dead in Kentucky house fire
Posted at: 07/13/2013 3:05 PM
(AP) BROOKSVILLE, Ky. - Authorities say five people have died in a house fire in northern Kentucky.
Kentucky State Police Trooper David Jones said two bodies were removed Saturday from the scene of an overnight fire at a two-story home in Powersville, a community in Bracken County.
Rescue crews continued to search, and Jones says three more bodies were found in the rubble later Saturday.
Jones said ages and names of the victims were not available. Jones said one man survived the fire and was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.
Jones said authorities have not been able to speak with the injured man. It was not clear if the victims were related.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

6 Important Things You Didn't Know We're Running Out Of
#3. Tequila
The Mexican cactus booze has been in trouble for the last couple of years, and high demand and diseased crops have seriously threatened its supply in the past. But now, we might actually be looking at a possible eradication of tequila as a worldwide commodity.
In 2006, the Bush administration introduced new regulations to begin substituting gasoline with biofuels made from corn-based ethanol, the idea being to ease America's dependency on foreign oil. One side effect was that ethanol prices skyrocketed to the point that farmers in Mexico started abandoning their old crops in favor of corn to ship off to the U.S.
Unfortunately, this included destroying crops of agave cactus (from which tequila is made) by setting them on fire, because that's how they roll in Mexico.
"Yeah, fuck you, my previous livelihood!"
But whatever -- we can just plant more of that cacti, right? About that ... you see, the blue agave cactus is what you would call the Chinese panda of the plant world, in that it's insanely particular about how it reproduces. It's prone to diseases and will grow only in a very specific climate -- on very high altitudes and preferably in red volcanic soil. This pretty much confines it to the Mexican state of Jalisco and surrounding areas, the only places in the entire world where Mexican law allows for the production of "tequila," a name to which Mexico holds exclusive rights.
In 2007, Mexican farmers planted 35 percent less agave than in the previous year, and the remaining cacti were given the red-headed stepchild treatment: mistreated and generally ignored, causing global tequila production to drop significantly. Basically, when one region in Mexico goes sober, the entire world gets the tequila shakes.
Vomit may never taste the same again.
Here's the best part: Tequila is made by removing the fructose at the core of the plant in its 12th year. So basically, if they're replanted tomorrow, you might have enough for one very basic crop in 2023, assuming the plants aren't harmed by diseases, weird weather patterns or anything else in the next dozen or so years. In short, you might want to start developing a taste for wine coolers.
#2. Phosphorus
You might not even know what phosphorus is or what it does, but the life of every single person on Earth depends on it. Phosphorus is used to make fertilizer, and without it, there is virtually no way to produce enough food for the world's population. As you might have guessed, we are quickly approaching "peak phosphorus" and might run out of it in as little as 30 years.
Researchers from Australia, Europe and the United States agree that the worldwide focus on production of biofuels (jump-started by the U.S.) can in all reality use up all of the planet's phosphorus. And when guys from three continents can agree on anything other than their mutual hatred for one another, you know they have to be right. The situation is getting so desperate that Sweden has actually started designing toilets that will extract the precious phosphorus from our piss.
"Fifty bucks a vial."
China is already hoarding all the phosphorus it has, which hasn't exactly done anything to calm the global markets. From 2007 to 2008, phosphate rock prices went up 700 percent, and the demand might continue to rise 2.3 percent a year, seeing as the majority of nations aren't too keen on starving to death in the future. The remaining phosphorus is located chiefly in Russia and Africa, whose reserves might one day basically give them the keys to the planet.
The only alternative is extracting phosphorus from the seabed but the costs would be staggering, and we'd risk running into and pissing off Cthulhu.
#1. Water
Humanity's fight for scarce water is a staple of dystopian fiction (and the plot of one shitty Bond movie), but in the end, that's all it is: fiction. Because come on -- water? It's like ... right there, and plenty of it. There of course are Third World countries where clean water is a precious commodity, but you don't see Western multinational companies and businessmen actually investing millions of dollars in it. But that's only because they have been really quiet about it.
"Ahem: Yee-haw."
T. Boone Pickens is a Texan ex-oilman and currently the biggest private owner of water in the United States, with access to most of the Texan portion of the Ogallala Aquifer, which holds more than a quadrillion gallons of the liquid. Pickens has invested more than $100 million and eight years of work in acquiring the rights to this much "blue gold" and now plans to sell it to Dallas or some other major U.S. city desperately running out of water. There are plenty to choose from.
If you're hoping that Pickens is just some crazy rich guy, it's worth mentioning that he wasn't the first to have this idea. To become a water baron, Pickens had to fight for 15 years with the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, which tried to buy his reserves out from under him. Water drilling is serious business.
T. Boone Pickens
Furthermore, what the man is doing is pretty old-hat by American standards. For years, New York has been getting its water from the Catskill Mountains, while Southern California has to reach all the way to the Sierra Nevada range -- hundreds of miles in both cases. Then there is Russia diverting its Siberian water surplus to China, and Alaska selling its H2O to India of all places. Either these multi-million-dollar companies and huge governments are paranoid as hell, or they know something that we don't. Something horrifying.
But even if fresh water is running out, we can take comfort in the fact that, as rational people, we at least won't be going to war over it all Mad Max-style, right? How about we just leave you with these links about water supply-related conflicts between Pakistan and India, India and China or Israel and the rest of the Middle East, and let you answer that question yourselves. Sleep tight!

Those companies also have greater resources than we do. I recently read that one of those games has a team of over 200 or more people working on it. At Sports Interactive, there's probably around 35 of us working on FM. It's a totally different scale and a totally different way of working (when I joined there were just 14 of us).
But we're happy with where we are at and we're committed to improving everything in FM, including the 3D. There's still very much that bedroom like atmosphere here as well and that's something we've worked hard on retaining as we've grown.
