hi guys. this could be a very long post but i will try to keep it short.
16 weeks today since went OTB and over the drop...... started having flashbacks but that is another story...
i have been following a conservative approach (no surgery) as advised by 3 different doctors/surgeons.
went back to see my surgeon 2 days ago. I lost confidence in him... won't bore you with the details.
Had a thorough going over and the conclusion was that I have a full range of movement and good power transfer, but I have lost some strength due to under use (because I neglected the physio and was doing my own thing)
Just back from the physio with a whole set of very specific exercises to get going with.
Still have the pain at the end of the bone feeling and the surgeon asked me if i can live with it.... I said yes.
So for the moment I'm sticking without the surgery and working on my muscles
Results 526 to 550 of 978

In one of my late runs something really weird happened: nearly half of the monsters I slayed became infested with thaumites as soon as they died. I was running a skill setup without Golemancy, so I was wondering where they could come from. The run ended quickly enough to not let me investigate further, and it never happened again afterwards.
Is there something that can make it happen or was it just a random and bizarre glitch?

Sister Mary Esther Becker
Sister Mary Esther Becker, OP, age 92, a resident of Chewelah, passed away on May 14, 2011 at St. Joseph's Long Term Care in Chewelah. Sister Mary Esther was born on October 16, 1918 in Oberwuerzbach, Germany, the daughter of Alois Becker and Elisabetha Graf. Sister Mary Esther attended school in Germany and then moved to the United States of America as a young religious. She traveled across the United Stated by train from New York to Kettle Falls. There she made her first profession of vows in 1939 at Our Lady of the Valley Convent. Sister Mary Esther then attended a three-year nursing education at the Sacred Heart Nursing School. She then worked as a registered nurse and CRNA in several of her community hospitals including, St. Martin Hospital in Tonasket, St. Mary's Hospital in Conrad Montana, St. Joseph's Hospital in Chewelah, and Mount Carmel Hospital in Colville. For several years, Sister Mary Esther served as an administrator at both St. Joseph's and Mount Carmel Hospitals. Her longest tenure of service was at Mount Carmel Hospital where she ministered for 33-years and served her final role as a Patient Advocate. Sister Mary Esther retired in 2002 and moved to the Dominican Center in Spokane along with her friend Sister Anna Marie Reger. Due to her gradually deteriorating health, she moved to Kimberly Cottage a care center in Spokane. In May of 2010 she transferred to St. Joseph's Long Term Care in Chewelah where she has resided for the past year. Sister Mary Esther was extremely generous and always led with the needs of others ahead of her own. Her hands were never idle, as she prayed, Rosary in hand, with every new step of the day. She cared for others with unparalleled compassion and found a special connection with her dear friend sister Annie and a challenged young man she embraced as her own. Sister Mary Esther also enjoyed knitting, walking and visiting with her many friends. Sister Mary Esther was preceded in death by her parents and sisters in Germany. She is survived by her two German Sister companions, Sister Alberta Nett and Sister Fidelis Weber who traveled to the United States with her in 1937, and numerous nieces and nephews in Germany. A Rosary for Sister Mary Esther will begin at 7 p.m., Friday, May 20, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 21, both at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Colville. The graveside service will begin at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, May 21 at Holy Cross Cemetery in Spokane. Memorial contributions may be given to DominiCare, St. Joseph's Long Term Care, or the charity of your choice. Please visit the on-line memorial and sign the guestbook at HYPERLINK "http://www.danekasfuneralchapel.com" www.danekasfuneralchapel.com. Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory is entrusted with the arrangements.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a difference for the NN3 settings for Canon 5DMkII body and the original 5D? More specifically, I want to know if I can use the same setting that I used for 5D+EF15mm with the new 5DMkII body.
Thanks in advance,
Sam Javanrouh

Ecology describes the many ways in which
organisms interact with one another and with their physical environment.
Organisms do not exist in isolation, but rather live as members
of biological communities. These communities may be composed of
a few species or many hundreds, but in each case the member species
interact with one another in a wide variety of ways. Communities
are often discernable at a very local level—a salt marsh,
tidal pool, or hardwood forest, for example. The interacting units
in communities are individuals and the populations they form. Therefore
ecology is directly relevant to the evolutionary processes acting
on species through their populations.
The network of interactions between all
these species (animal and plant, multicellular and unicellular,
eukaryotic and prokaryotic) in a community is often described as
a food web. Fundamentally, it represents the paths that energy takes
as it is transferred from one organism to another after being captured
from the sun or a chemical source such as the chemicals emitted
near deep-sea hydrothermal vents. All food webs begin with an energy
source. Energy is initially captured by autotrophs ("self-feeders,"
also called producers), organisms with the ability to capture energy
and create biomass from it. The most visible autotrophs to us land-dwelling
humans are green plants and algae, which use photosynthesis to capture
energy from the sun. Some bacteria use a similar process called
chemosynthesis to gather chemical energy.
Once energy has entered the food web through
the autotrophs, it is captured by organisms at the next level, heterotrophs
("other feeders," or consumers). Heterotrophs largely
are animals. Unable to gather energy directly, they must harvest
it from other life forms. Heterotrophs can be divided into two basic
types: those that consume primary producers (herbivores) and those
that eat other heterotrophs (carnivores). In its simplest form,
a food web might consist of a primary producer, a primary consumer
(herbivore), and a secondary consumer (carnivore), each gathering
energy from the level immediately below its own. However, each energy
transition within the food web is inefficient. Whereas plants capture
about 10% of the sun's energy that reaches them, an herbivorous
animal can only acquire 10% of the plant's energy (and therefore
only 1% of the sun's). Therefore, each trophic level of the
food web can support fewer and fewer heterotrophs, and the top predators
within a food web typically are the rarest members of the community.
This system has another element that is
less obvious and thus often unappreciated in its importance - the
decomposers. These organisms—typically bacteria and fungi—feed
on the decaying remains of dead autotrophs and heterotrophs. By
capturing energy from these dead organisms, decomposers provide
a means to return it to the system through the soil, where it can
be used by autotrophs once again.
Energy is not the only thing that cycles
through living organisms and their ecological communities. Carbon
is an important element for all living things because it is a basic
building block of all organic molecules. Carbon enters food webs
from the Earth's crust and the atmosphere (as carbon dioxide),
and returns through decomposition and animal respiration. The water
cycle is equally crucial for living organisms, along with the nitrogen,
phosphorus, and sulfur cycles.
Communities are part of a hierarchy of
ecological organization. At broader spatial scales, communities
are part of larger units with distributions dictated by climatic
conditions regionally. These regions usually share a general climate
(especially temperature and rainfall). Such large, regional collections
of communities are called biomes. Examples include the tropical
rainforest, tundra, and desert.

A client asked me to unpublished a page, which I did. However, I kept it as a draft, just in case they wanted to republish at a future date.
My issue is that anyone with this link will hit a 404 page, which I've read is generally a thing to avoid (Google apparently penalises you if you have too many?).
Is there a better way to handle this?

It is well known Cauchy's inequality is implied by Lagrange's identity. Bohr's inequality $|a -b|^2 \le p|a|^2 +q|b|^2$, where $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1$, is implied by $|a -b|^2 +|\sqrt{p/q}a+\sqrt{q/p}b|^2= p|a|^2 +q|b|^2$. L.K Hua's determinant inequality $\det(I-A^*A)\cdot \det(I-B^*B)\le |\det(I-A^*B)|^2$ is implied by Hua's matrix equality $(I-B^*B)-(I-B^*A)(I-A^*A)^{-1}(I-A^*B)=-(A-B)^*(I-AA^*)(A-B)$. What other examples can be found?
Lots of number theoretic inequalities are to be had from the binomial theorem. I remember reading the below argument as part of Erdos's proof of Bertrand's postulate:
Suppose that $n$ is a positive integer, then we have
$$4^n = (1 + 1)^{2n} = {\sum_{j=0}^{2n}}{2n\choose{j}}.$$
Thus, since $ 2n\choose{n}$ is the maximum value of the sequence $({2n\choose{k}})$, we conclude that
$$ 4^n < (2n + 1){2n\choose{n}}.$$
I thought it was neat.
Here are two very elementary examples.
It's not 100% different from your Cauchy's inequality example, but the fact that if X is a random variable, then $(\mathbb{E}X)^2\leq\mathbb{E}X^2$ is very useful and follows from the fact that the difference equals the variance of X.
The fact that $|\cos x|\leq 1$ and $|\sin x|\leq 1$ follows from the fact that $\cos^2x+\sin^2x=1$.
In an arbitrary triangle whose circumcircle has radius $R$ and center $O$ and whose inscribed circle has radius $r$ and center $I$, we have Euler's inequality $$R\geq 2r$$ This follows from the equality $$|IO|^2=R(R-2r)$$ (There are many examples in Euclidean geometry, I think Ptolemy's inequality follows from an equality but I can't remember at the moment)
After A1 from the 1968 Putnam:
$$\frac {22}7 - \pi = \int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{1+x^2}dx \gt 0$$
Integral proofs that $355/113 \gt \pi$.
I expect that there should be a proof of Jensen's inequality as an integral of a nonnegative quantity.
Over real-closed fields such as $\langle \mathbb{R}, +, *, -, <, 0, 1 \rangle$, there is an interesting simple answer: every polynomial inequality is equivalent to a projected equation. E.g., Given $p_1, p_2 \in \mathbb{Q}[\vec{x}]$ we have $\left( p_1 > p_2 \ \iff \ \exists z \text{ s.t. } z^2(p_1 - p_2) - 1 = 0 \right),$ and $\left( p_1 \geq p_2 \ \iff \ \exists z \text{ s.t. } p_1 - p_2 - z^2 = 0 \right).$
Geometrically, this is the simple observation that every semialgebraic set defined as the set of $n-$dimensional real vectors satisfying an inequality is the projection of an $n+1$-dimensional real-algebraic variety defined by a single equation. Semialgebraic sets defined by boolean combinations of equations and inequalities can be similarly encoded as the set of satisfying real vectors of (an) equation(s) by using the Rabinowitsch encoding $(p_1 = 0 \vee p_2 = 0 \ \iff p_1p_2 = 0)$ and $(p_1 = 0 \wedge p_2 = 0 \ \iff p_1^2 + p_2^2 = 0).$
Combining the above two observations, one obtains the fact that every semi-algebraic set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is the projection of a real algebraic variety $V \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n+k}$, where $k$ is the number of inequality symbols appearing in the defining Tarski formula for $S$. In fact, due to a construction of Motzkin [``The Real Solution Set of a System of Algebraic Inequalities is the Projection of a Hypersurface in One More Dimension,'' Inequalities II, O. Shisha, ed., 251-254, Academic Press (1970)], it is known that every such $S$ is in fact the projection of a real-algebraic variety in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
Two examples due to Hurwitz.
Another "Hilbertian" example: Bessel's inequality follows from Bessel's equality. See, e.g., http://www.math.uri.edu/~quinn/web/mth629_Bessels.pdf.
And now (maybe off-topic, but the question is rather vague) an example of an inequality derived via an identity:
The (simple) identity is the so-called "multiplication of means", roughly: the expectation of a product of independent random variables equals the product of their expectations. The (not so simple) inequality is the Grothendieck one: http://www.ams.org/proc/1987-100-01/S0002-9939-1987-0883401-0/S0002-9939-1987-0883401-0.pdf. (Well, it is not obtained from that identity in an obvious and direct way, but the identity is an essential ingredient in the proof.)
Here are some more elementary examples.

ST.?CLAIRSVILLE -- Ohio Senate Minority Leader Eric Kearney talked "friendship" with Belmont County Democrats Thursday, and encouraged them to support his family friend - President Barack Obama - and other friends seeking office in Belmont County.
Kearney, D-Cincinnati, was the keynote speaker for the annual Belmont County Jefferson-Jackson Democrat Dinner at Undo's West in St. Clairsville. Before joining the Ohio Senate in December 2005, Kearney founded and built one of the largest African-American owned publishing companies, Sesh Communications.
He is a graduate of Dartmouth College, and the University of Cincinnati College of Law.

THE?BELMONT?County?Democrats held their annual?Jefferson-Jackson Dinner Thursday night at?Undo's in?St.?Clairsville. Pictured, from left, are Gordie Longshaw, Belmont County party charman; retiring Judge Harry White; Keynote speaker Senate Democratic Leader Eric H. Kearney (D-Cincinnati) and World War II veteran and former prisoner of war Herman Zerger. In 1946,?Zerger was elected to the Monroe County Democratic Central and Executive Committee where he has worked in every election for 62 years.
Kearney spoke of how in 2006 he saw a newspaper article about a state senator seeking a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois, and how he had been impressed enough with what he read to ask his wife, Jan-Michele, if they should support him. She immediately recognized him as a good friend and former college classmate, Barack Obama, and reminded Kearney they had attended the Obama's wedding in Chicago.
Kearney said he next began to make calls and arrange a fundraiser in Ohio, and he noted people frequently asked him why they should support a candidate in Illinois.
"I'll tell you why - issues aren't local," he said. "Issues that are important in Belmont County are important in Washington, D.C., and they're important in Columbus. You need to have people who have a voice wherever they are - the voice is important.
To get the issues out is the important thing."
A friendship next evolved between him and Obama, Kearney said. He added he also formed a bond with Charlie Wilson, then an Ohio senator. Wilson would move on to the U.S. House, but was then defeated in 2010 after two terms. Among other things, Wilson taught him "you have to take tough votes" as a lawmaker.
"The way I understand it, the only reason we're not calling him 'congressman' here tonight, is that he took a tough vote" in favor of health care reform legislation, Kearney said. "He stood by his friend, the president of the United States, and people punished him for that. Frankly, I would rather have somebody who will stand up, take the tough vote, and do what is right."
Other candidates speaking briefly at the dinner were Wilson, Democrat nominee seeking election in the 6th Congressional District; Ohio Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, seeking re-election in the 30th Senate District; and Charles Daniels, a Democrat seeking election in the 95th Ohio House District.
The five Democrat candidates seeking to succeed Belmont County Western Division Court Judge Harry White addressed those present: Charles Bean, Todd Kildow, Kevin Flanagan, William Thomas and Helen Yonak.
Other Democrat candidates involved in contested elections who were introduced were incumbent Belmont County Commissioner

Dear All!
I recently had a conversation with one mathematician who reckons that all sorts of combinatorial results are nothing compared to the things done in the algebraic geometry. As I do not have any expertise in AG, I have the following question:
Is AG really that important?
Surfing over the book of Hartshorne, one may get a feel that this is just some bunch of definitions with the hope to be able to do some big problems. First steps of AG, as far as I have been told, indeed lead to solutions, but is AG still natural, or just a trend in Maths (for producing Fields medalists).
To get things clear, I have nothing against AG, but it really got me upset that some mathematicians do not count such things as results about the random graph as Maths.

text: Deep below the ocean's surface is a mysterious world that takes up 95% of Earth's living space. It could hide 20 Washington Monuments stacked on top of each other. But the deep sea remains largely unexplored. Dive down 650 feet (one monument or 200 meters), and you notice that light starts fading rapidly. Dive deeper: the temperature drops and pressure rises. At 13,000 feet (20 monuments or 4,000 meters), the temperature hovers around freezing, and there's no sunlight at all. Yet there is life -- an astounding variety of creatures that will boggle your mind. You can't dive to the deep ocean on your own, of course. But scientists now have a variety of sophisticated technologies to explore this vast frontier. What they're finding will amaze you.

Battery Kill Switch - Switched OnWritten by on April 9, 2008 A Battery Kill Switch For Security And Safety
I have to credit reader John Fobian with the idea for this article, since he contacted me after reading our news item about Outta Sight's slick battery boxes. These come with what was described as a kill switch, though John quite rightly pointed out that there's a difference between a kill switch and a battery disconnect switch. So, what is the difference? A kill switch will shut down a running engine without damaging the alternator, while a master/disconnect switch may or may not kill the engine, its job being to isolate the battery from the rest of the electrical system while the engine is not running. However, this type of switch can damage the diodes in the alternator, as a high-voltage spike can be created when the switch is flipped. It should be wired with one terminal connected to the battery's positive terminal, and the other to the car's electrical system, with the alternator output connected directly to the battery positive.
A kill switch has six terminals, or more correctly, three pairs of terminals. The large pair connects one side of the switch to the battery and the other to the starter motor, a smaller pair will be for the ignition and fuse box feed, while the third pair will be for alternator surge protection.
Most of us have seen cheap master switches at swap meets, available for a few dollars. They're easy to identify since they only have two terminals compared to the six terminals on a kill switch, and so long as one is aware of their limitations, they can work effectively as a cheap security device. With the big red key removed, your car's electrical system is disabled, so long as a thief can't access the rear of the switch to jump the terminals, or doesn't possess his own big red key! However, these cheap switches won't have an amperage rating as high as a quality switch, which will typically be rated at 1,000-amp-or-more surge and 150-amp-or-more continuous flow.
According to the guys at Flaming River, a disconnect or kill switch can act as a choke point for engine performance, so it makes sense to choose one with as high an amperage rating as possible.
So, with safety and security in mind, we figured a quick look at what's available in both kill and master switches might be useful, as well as how to wire a kill switch into your electrical system. They may not be the most exciting product you'll purchase for your project, but you could well be thankful you fitted one, whether to save a battery from draining or to shut down an errant engine.

Another type of battery disconnect switch is this simple version that fits on the battery post, assuming you're running regular post terminals. No modifications are needed, though obviously you'll have to access the battery to operate it. This particular version is sold by SO-CAL Speed Shop.This cheap master/disconnect switch was sourced at a swap meet for just a few bucks. It'll isolate the battery from the electrical system and can be mounted anywhere on the car, such as under the rear if your battery is located in the trunk, or even alongside the driver seat. However, it's likely to be a low-amp switch, which can cause resistance.Speedway also sells this neat memory guard for your electronics. It connects across the terminals of a disconnect switch and contains a 3-amp fuse. This allows power to the accessories when the switch is thrown, but the fuse will blow if anyone tries to start the vehicle.Speedway Motors offer these disconnect switches, with an aluminum handle in red on the two-post version and a natural finish handle on the four-post. The four-post version is for use with an alternator and is required by the NHRA for competition use. They are rated at 180-amp continuous and 1,000-amp surge.Flaming River's heavy-duty Big Switch is rated at 250 continuous amps and 2,500 amps surge for five-second intervals. It's available with a removable stainless key (as shown), a T-handle, or with a lever kit, accepted for IHRA/NHRA competition use.Not only does Flaming River's Big Switch have a three-year warranty, but as this cutaway version shows, it's spring-loaded, with large contact areas (arrow) on the actual switch mechanism. Because it is spring-loaded, compared to the rotary operation of most switches of this type, it ensures full contact immediately on turning the handle.Again from Flaming River, this is a combination battery and alternator kill switch, and is designed to shut down the battery and electrical system, whether for security or in an emergency situation. This version features a large red button that simply has to be pushed to shut off the power. It's rated at 2,000-amp surge and 150-amp continuous flow.

I'm using calls to wp_nav_menu() in my header.php file. They're conditional, based on whether a user is logged in.
This is in header.php:
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) :
wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'user' ) );
else :
wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'visitor' ) );
endif; ?>
The menus are defined in functions.php:
add_action('init', 'menus_register');
function menus_register() {
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) )
'user' => __('Logged In'),
'visitor' => __('Logged Out')
The menus are defined and assigned in the admin.
On every page, they work as I would expect them to, but not on the home page. On the home page, the correct container shows up, based on the condition, but the container is empty.
What would cause the same function call in header.php to return an empty container just on the home page?
-- edit --
Perhaps the menus_register() function in function.php is being called at the wrong time? Maybe there's some override in the theme that only applies to the homepage? I'm hoping folks with more experience can guide me in what to look for here.

Yes, she did, canbelto. Pavlenko is still working her way back to the prima roles, following her long maternity leave. She is finding her way back to the stage through smaller-but-important roles, such as Street Dancer in Don Q.
On the 28th April Daria Pavlenko is dancing Maria in The Fountains of Bakhchiserai at the Maryinskii Theatre

[A] Japanese reporter with whom I met last month in St. Petersburg [ ... ] told me that Somova is a "big favorite with Japanese businessmen. She is very beautiful." [The reporter is a man.] So maybe the businessmen -- not traditional, knowledgeable fans -- will fill the hall? Like I wrote earlier, it is all in the eye of the beholder.
Helene, I agree entirely about liking dancers who look like there "is a brain ticking." These dancers move from the inside, always seeming in charge of their own movement (unless the choreography demands otherwise). You can imagine that there are choices being made.
My impression from watching Somova on video is that there is something marionette-like in her use of limbs and torso. Forces from the OUTSIDE are pulling things out of line -- manipulating her into the positions that have become her trademark. The effect is strangely passive, even weak. This might be especially appealing to someone like Natalia's Japanese businessman, looking forward to unwinding at the end of a long day toiling in a what is still, essentially, a man's world.

The Official Salaryman's Ballerina!
Somova reminds me of Russian girls who work in bars in Roppongi, Tokyo where Japanese businessmen go after their work. Actually there are quite many of those girls who looks like her.
And I don't know what company is going to sponsor the Mariinsky Japan tour but at the Bolshoi tour, a securities company was the official sponsorso there were many businessmen who were invited as a result of that.

My uncontested choice would be Tereshkina, but I have never seen Kolegova, have no idea what she's like. To me, Tereshkina is very present in the moment, unlike Lopatkina, who gives the impression of a single interpretation that, down to the last eyelash, does not vary from performance to performance. Lopatkina is fascinating in that regard, definitely worth seeing, but I miss the "aliveness" that Tereshkina brings and makes my experience more satisfying.
I hope that, after you've seen the Swan Lake, you'll let us know whether, cumulatively, we've given you good advice. Meanwhile, I invite you to introduce yourself in our Welcome Forum.

[I see that R&J will be danced once between now and the end of May at the Mariinsky, with no casting yet announced - on May 20. Maybe that will be it? But to announce her as leading the London season in a ballet she's never danced?]
No, the performance on the 20th will be Irina Golub with Igor Kolb.
Posted 01 May 2009 - 10:43 AM
Daria Vaznetsova replaced Pavlenko as Maria in that performance. Dasha Pavlenko will bourree between knives again as Street Dancer on May 16 (so far). Tatiana Tkachenko will be Kitri - ( for this casting decision )! She deserves more opportunities to dance leading roles in her home theatre, and not at the Hermitage & Palace Theatres, (venues of the Hermitage Ballet).

Golub as Juliet opposite Kolb is wonderful news! This is another tremendous opportunity for her! A word of caution: As with everything, nothing is etched in stone; casting is subject to change (and unannounced casting also), right up until curtain. There's one "R & J" performance scheduled in June: June 6. If there are no more "R & Js" performed during the White Nights Festival in July, it's high probability that this will be Somova's D-Day. "D" is for "debut". On the other hand, if June 6 isn't the date, Covent Garden will be graced with her debut as Juliet on opening night. That will be a double-dip of firsts for her: A Covent Garden opening night, and first Juliet. If that's their plan, to field her as Juliet - sight unseen and without a test drive, in a Covent Garden opening night, one must question the "logic" behind it.
No, the performance on the 20th will be Irina Golub with Igor Kolb.
Posted 01 May 2009 - 11:27 AM
.....There's one "R & J" performance scheduled in June: June 6. If there are no more "R & Js" performed during the White Nights Festival in July, it's high probability, that this will be Somova's D-Day. ....
June 6 will be the very last R&J back home before the London tour, as the Mariinsky website now lists all performances between now and July 31. So either "Ms X" debuts on June 6 or she may be debuting in London, at the start of the tour.
Admirers of Vikharev's reconstructions can take heart that Flora's Awakening will reawaken on June 11. (However, Londoners will still see the 1952 Soviet Beauty, sorry to report.)
p.s. I transfered most of the 'summer happenings news' to a new thread.

Thanks, Rosa. Some very nice changes but still the oddity of Ms X getting the opening night Juliet although she has never danced the role and is not scheduled to dance it anywhere between now and August 3. Are the Hochhausers trying to sell Curiosity Tickets, like the side show of a circus?
Just bought a ticket for the Marinsky in London (mid-August). Seeing "Swan Lake."
I've never seen the Marinsky before (although I do see the Royal Ballet at the Opera House at least once a year. Have business in London).
I'm so excited!

The 2013 Zoning and Planning Law Handbook (Patricia E. Salkin, ed., Thomson Reuters) contains a chapter by Susan C. Sharpe, a 2012 cum laude graduate of Rutgers School of Law–Newark, in which she makes the case that digital billboards violate the federal Highway Beautification Act (HBA). Authors of other original and reprinted chapters include leading legal academics in the field John Echeverria (Vermont), Thomas W. Merrill (Columbia) and Patricia Salkin (Touro), and retired Justice John Paul Stevens, who writes about his Kelo decision.
|Susan Sharpe, Class of 2012
Sharpe's Handbook chapter, "'Between Beauty and Signs': Why Digital Billboards Violate the Letter and Spirit of the Highway Beautification Act of 1965," is a reprint of a note originally published in the Rutgers Law Review (64 Rutgers L. Rev. 515 (2012). The note originated as an independent study topic supervised by Professor Steve Gold, her Environmental Law teacher.
The 2013 Zoning and Planning Law Handbook, the 33rd annual volume in the series, covers an array of topics including evolving and projected trends, significant developments, relevant caselaw, and neighborhood opposition as a factor in zoning decisions.
After a brief history of federal billboard regulation, the highway system, and the HBA, Sharpe explores current issues in the digital billboard debate, including financial, safety, and aesthetic dimensions. The debate pits HBA defenders, including insurance companies, environmentalists, municipalities, and states' control of outdoor advertising in the interest of safety and natural beauty against landowners who lease their land for billboards, advertisers, and sign operators of the far more profitable digital billboards.
Courts grapple with legal challenges raised by the use of technology in outdoor advertising that was unimagined in 1965 when the HBA was enacted and vastly different from when federal-state agreements (FSAs) defining billboard standards were negotiated. Sharpe urges the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and states to "properly regulate digital billboards to protect the general public and to preserve natural beauty as mandated by the HBA."
Susan Sharpe is a Deputy Attorney General in the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General. Prior to that she clerked for the Hon. Stephen B. Rubin, judge of the Superior Court of Hunterdon County. At Rutgers School of Law–Newark, she was a managing editor of the Rutgers Law Review, a Moot Court Board member, a teaching associate in the legal research and writing program, and a classroom instructor in the Street Law Program. Before law school she worked as an information systems security analyst with the U.S. Department of Defense and later, after moving to New Jersey, as a municipal reporter and feature writer for NJN Publishing. Sharpe received her B.A. in economics from the University of Michigan.

Is there a way to see all friends who have currently deactivated accounts?
Yes you can , now Facebook itself shows the list of all the friend including deactivated account . For view this you need to just check your friend list , you will find all the deactivated friend with no profile pic .
Go profile and then friends and at the search just Type some random letter like ja, ta, be, ma, ka, jo which according to you make be the starting two letters of a person name, Then check the result. Look for the profile without picture, ctrl/cmd click on that profile name and message box will appear if that particular profile is deactivated then click unfriend.
Till date this is the only solution.
The moment an account is de-activated, you would stop seeing the profile in your friend list. But, it would be the same as if that person blocked you on FB. As far as I know, NO. There is no direct way of knowing if someone has deactivated their account.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
But loggerheads, state's primary nesting sea turtle, not far behind
For the second time in two years, a rare and endangered leatherback sea turtle claimed the title of first nest on Georgia's coast, signaling the start of nesting season for several federally protected species of turtles.
Stefanie Ouellette of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center crew on Jekyll Island found the state's first sea turtle nest last week during early morning patrols on Jekyll.
Loggerheads weren't far behind, with the first two documented nests reported late Thursday night, one on Cumberland Island and one on St. Catherines Island. Loggerheads are Georgia's primary nesting sea turtle. The loggerhead nests were discovered by Doug Hoffman of the National Park Service and volunteer Gale Bishop, respectively.
"Based on trends we have seen in recent years, we expect average nest totals in 2010," said Mark Dodd, a senior wildlife biologist with the state Wildlife Resources Division. "Though the numbers are difficult to project, we have had several good years, so we remain hopeful."
A record seven leatherback nests were recorded in Georgia last year, an encouraging sign for the rare turtles. "Leatherbacks are primarily tropical nesters, but have been expanding their nesting range to the north in the last 10 years," Dodd said.
After a record season of 1,646 sea turtle nests in 2008 – despite heavy storms and a strong hurricane season – the lower total of 995 nests last year made members of the Georgia Sea Turtle Cooperative anxious to start tallying nest totals again.
2008 marked the 20th anniversary of the cooperative, a milestone for sea turtle conservation. Coordinated by the Wildlife Resources Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the group of volunteers, researchers and biologists from various agencies monitor turtle nesting activities on Georgia beaches.
Loggerhead nesting numbers vary widely from year to year. The 2007 total of 689 loggerhead nests, down from 1,400 in 2006, was considered a below average nesting year. 2006 nest totals marked the third highest since Wildlife Resources established comprehensive surveys in 1989, with 1,419 nests found in 1999 and 1,504 nests in 2003. The annual average in Georgia since 1989 has been roughly 1,045 nests.
Adult female loggerheads come ashore to dig nests and lay eggs from May through September. The vulnerable hatchlings scramble to the sea approximately 60 days later, swimming for the open ocean, where fewer predators lurk.
Loggerheads do not nest every year, generally returning to lay eggs – about 120 per nest – every second or third year.
Listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) is Georgia's primary nesting sea turtle. Adults can grow to more than 300 pounds. In 1994, the Georgia Loggerhead Recovery and Habitat Protection Plan was adopted to standardize nest management procedures for the state. The long-term recovery goal for the species is an average of 2,000 loggerhead nests per year over a 25-year period.

Suppose we have 1 kg of wood and 1 kg of uranium and if we need to find out how much energy would each of the substance give, we'd have to use Einstein's mass-energy relation as follows:
In the case of wood, $E_{wood} = 1 × (3×10^8)^2 = 9 × 10^{16} J$
In case of Uranium, $E_{uranium} = 1 × (3×10^8)^2 = 9 × 10^{16} J$
Question: According to the equation, both give the same amount of energy. But in reality, 1 kg of uranium will give a lot of energy when compared to 1 kg of wood. What have I missed? Any explanation regarding the $E=mc^2$ problem would be helpful...

Are there any examples of a semigroup (which is not a group) with exactly one left(right) identity (which is not the two-sided identity)? Are there any "real-world" examples of these (semigroups of some more or less well-known mathematical objects) or they could only be "manually constructed" from abstract symbols (a, b, c…) subject to operation given by a Caley table?
Consider for example the semigroup consisting of all constant functions on a set $X$ [acting on the right], together with one non-constant idempotent function $f$ (for example, let $f$ fix some point $x\in X$ and send every other point to some $y\neq x$). Then $f$ is a unique left identity, and $f$ is not a right identity.
In general I think it's probably helpful to think about this question in terms of transformation semigroups.
EDIT: Since this question has been sitting around with no accepted answer for a while, I'll state my last sentence a bit more strongly: You can determine exactly which transformation semigroups have a single left (or right) identity, and since every semigroup is isomorphic to a transformation semigroup, doing this will give you all examples. [Although I just noticed that the OP hasn't been on this site for about a month, so I guess the question might remain 'unanswered'.]
Take the semigroup $S = \{a, b, 0\}$ with $a^2 = a$, $ab = b$ and every other product equal to $0$. Then $a$ is a left identity (since $ax = x$ for all $x \in S$) but it is not an identity (since $ba = 0$). You can define this semigroup in three other equivalent ways:
(1) As a transformation semigroup on $\{1, 2, 0\}$. Just take the semigroup generated by $a = [1, 0, 0]$ and $b = [2, 0, 0]$.
(2) As a semigroup of matrices. Just take $a = \pmatrix{1 & 0\\ 0 & 0}$, $b = \pmatrix{0 & 1\\ 0 & 0}$ and $0 = \pmatrix{0 & 0\\ 0 & 0}$.
(3) As the syntactic semigroup of the regular language $a^*b$ [or as the transformation semigroup of its minimal automaton, which is just (1)].
Take a finite semigroup $S$. Then $S$ has an idempotent element $e$ since $S$ is finite.
Let $T = \{se : s \in S\}$. Then $T$ is a subsemigroup of $S$. We have $e \in T$ because $e = ee$. And $e$ is a right identity of $T$ since $(se)e = s(ee) = se$ for all $s \in S$.
My problem with this example is that I don't think $e$ is the only right identity of $T$ for every such $T$ and this is probably still not real world enough.
I believe if we give more conditions when we construct $T$, we might be able to get a semigroup with only one right identity. But, it may not be a real example for OP.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired today the weekly cabinet meeting at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh.
King Abdullah briefed the Cabinet on the contacts he had last week with foreign leaders, including Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Sabah, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and King Abdullah II of Jordan in which they condemned the sinful attacks on Saudi Arabia by infiltrators from Yemen and expressed their full support for the steps the Kingdom took to defend it's territory. King Abdullah also expressed his appreciation to similar support the Kingdom received from other Arab and Islamic countries and organizations.
The King also briefed the Cabinet on the messages he received from Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifah, Japanese Premier Yukio Hatoyama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The Cabinet was briefed on the security measures taken following the attempted infiltration through Jabal Dokhan in the Jazan region.
The Cabinet stressed that Saudi Arabia will not tolerate any violations of its sovereignty and reserves the right to take all necessary measures to protects its citizens and territory, secure its border, deter aggression, and put an end to future attacks on its territory. The Cabinet expressed its appreciation for the role played by all sectors to maintain the security and safety of the homeland and citizens. The Cabinet expressed its sincere condolences to the families of the martyrs and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
Furthermore, the Cabinet approved the addition of the president of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority to the membership of the Civil Defense Council. It authorized the Minister of Higher Education, or his deputy, to negotiate and sign a draft memorandum of scientific and educational cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Cabinet approved an amendment of Article Six of the regulations for Saudi employees in sectors to undergo privatization as per Cabinet Decision No. 210 (July 21, 2008). It authorized the Minister of Transport, or his deputy, to sign the Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden (the Code of Conduct), which was signed in Djibouti on 29 January 2009.

Indoor Obstacle Course
As you design your obstacle course, keep in mind the ages, abilities, and number of children involved as well as the space you have. Make the course simple at first and change the stations as they're mastered. If you like, time the kids to see who can complete the course fastest. Below are a few ideas to get you started. Ten stations is a good number for most kids.
- Crawl under or over a row of chairs.
- Crawl under a string stretched between two chair legs.
- Jump into and out of a Hula-Hoop five times.
- Walk on a balance board.
- Throw a beanbag into a laundry basket.
- Run while balancing a beanbag on your head.
- Do a ring toss.
- Play one hole of Newspaper Golf.
- Ride a tricycle along a predetermined route.
- Somersault from one point to another.
- Do a handstand.
- Skip in place while reciting a jump rope rhyme.
- Do ten jumping jacks.

Wilby captures football jamboree
WATERBURY — For the first time in seven years, the Wilby High football team captured the Waterbury Football Jamboree, Friday night at Municipal Stadium.
While it may not have been a monumental moment for the Wildcats and interim head coach Gino Capuano, the decisive 24-6 victory over Sacred Heart in the 15-minute fourth period proved to be a huge steppingstone leading up to next Wednesday's season opener against Naugatuck at Municipal Stadium.
"We really needed this," said Capuano, who didn't become the Wildcats' coach until a week before the preseason began on Aug. 20.
"We jelled together a lot better against Sacred Heart," said Capuano. "We just sneaked by Kennedy (16-8 in overtime) in the second period. Our defense got a lot better as the night went on."
Through the two periods, Wilby quarterback Brandon Sierra and tailback Jacob Thomas looked like they were in midseason form. Sierra scored on a 5-yard run in OT and Thomas ran in the 2-point conversion to break an 8-8 tie.
Against the Hearts, Sierra ran for a 32-yard touchdown on an option play to the right side, and he later tossed two touchdowns of 18 yards to David Betancourt and 23 yards to Juan Hall.
"The offensive line did a great job of blocking and that allowed us to continue to move the ball down the field," said Sierra. "I could have done a little better in stepping up in the pocket, but that's something that is definitely fixable. Tonight was a confidence builder for me and the team."
Thomas could see the confidence in Sierra, who is succeeding the graduation loss of Jay'Len Mahan, one of the premier quarterbacks in the Naugatuck Valley League last year. Mahan is now a freshman with the Post University sprint football team.
See WILBY, Page 4C
"Brandon got rid of the ball quickly and accurately," said Thomas. "It feels good to win this game. I feel we will have a real good season."
After Sierra's TD run, Sacred Heart's Jacquan Overbey electrified the estimated 1,000 fans with an 88-yard kickoff return for a score with 10:29 left in the quarter. But that's all the Hearts could muster.
In the opening quarter, Shyquon Thompson caught an 11-yard TD pass from quarterback Thomas Carissimi, as Sacred Heart topped Crosby, 6-0. Parris Wolfe and David Whitney had interceptions for the Hearts.
In the second quarter, Thomas had a 45-yard TD run and Kasseme Smith caught the conversion pass from Sierra for an 8-0 edge.
Kennedy's Jake D'Alusio caught a 32-yard TD pass from quarterback Larry Lock against Wilby. Dashaun Abdul-Lateef ran in the conversion for the Eagles, setting up the Kansas Overtime.
In the third quarter, Crosby quarterback Mike Reyes threw three touchdown passes of 8, 5 and 33 yards to junior Tyshon Rogers, the star basketball player for the Bulldogs, in a 20-0 win over Kennedy.
"We believe that we can come back from a 1-9 season last year," said Reyes, who played tight end last season. "Now I know that I have more than one receiver (Rogers and P.J. Bradshaw). I'm glad to have them on my side. We also have two really good running backs (Roshawn Gainey and Chris Herrera). They run with a lot of heart."
Kennedy nearly beat Wilby in their matchup with under a minute left in regulation. When a field-goal attempt by Kennedy's Jordan Perna was blocked, Kennedy's Malik Mayfield picked up the loose ball and scored an apparent touchdown.
Under rules of a field goal, but not an extra-point, the ball can be picked up. But in this case, an inadvertent whistle was blown by an official, ending the play and preventing the TD. Kennedy got another chance at the field goal, but missed it, forcing OT.
Along the Sacred Heart sidelines, wide receiver David Coggins and quarterback Javon Martin wore their game jerseys, but did not dress for the Jamboree while awaiting the CIAC Board of Control ruling on their eligibility. A decision is not expected until Sept. 20.

Why do we use a permutation table in the first step of DES algorithm and one at the end of the algorithm?
The initial and final permutation have no influence on security (they are unkeyed and can be undone by anybody). The usual explanation is that they make implementation easier in some contexts, namely a hardware circuit which receives data over a 8-bit bus: it can accumulate the bits into eight shift registers, which is more efficient (in terms of circuit area) than a single 64-bit register. This process "naturally" performs the initial permutation of DES.
In more details: Suppose that you are designing a hardware circuit which should do some encryption with DES, and receives data by blocks of 8 bits. This means that there are 8 "lines", each yielding one bit at each clock. A common device for accumulating data is a shift register: the input line plugs into a one-bit register, which itself plugs into another, which plugs into a third register, and so on. At each clock, each register receives the contents from the previous, and the first register accepts the new bit. Hence, the contents are "shifted".
With an 8-bit bus, you would need 8 shift registers, each receiving 8 bits for an input block. The first register will receive bits 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49 and 57. The second register receives bits 2, 10, 18,... and so on. After eight clocks, you have received the complete 64-bit block and it is time to proceed with the DES algorithm itself.
If there was no initial permutation, then the first step of the first round would extract the "left half" (32 bits) which, at that point, would consist of the leftest 4 bits of each of the 8 shift registers. The "right half" would also get bits from the 8 shift registers. If you think of it as wires from the shift registers to the units which use the bits, then you end up with a bunch of wires which heavily cross each other. Crossing is doable but requires some circuit area, which is the expensive resource in hardware designs.
However, if you consider that the wires must extract the input bits and permute them as per the DES specification, you will find out that there is no crossing anymore. In other words, the accumulation of bits into the shift registers inherently performs a permutation of the bits, which is exactly the initial permutation of DES. By defining that initial permutation, the DES standard says: "well, now that you have accumulated the bits in eight shift registers, just use them in that order, that's fine".
The same thing is done again at the end of the algorithm.
Remember that DES was designed at a time when 8-bit bus where the top of the technology, and one thousand transistors were an awfully expensive amount of logic.
Our Professor, Christof Paar, sat together on lunch a few years ago with one of the main designers of DES.
He said that for getting it as specification, they had to build a piece of hardware which encrypts via DES. Shortly before finishing the project, they discovered that their wiring into the box was somewhat intermingled. Building such hardware stuff was rather expensive and time consuming in that time.
They had to decide ... changing the specification, which was cheap and had no effect on the security of the system whatsoever, or build and test a new hardware device.
Something I wrote years ago to describe the IP and Inverse IP. With a copy of the FIPS Pub in hand you can see the correlation between registers and bits. Essentially the data is shifted in serially (for an interface smaller than 64 bits, in this case 8 bits wide) and used in a parallel fashion. In hardware and an 8 bit interface the IP and Inverse IP permutations (and Permuted Choice 1) are reordering of bits on the 8 bit interface. Note the reference to Port Bit order (which is big endian) and MSB7 which is little endian.
The Initial Permutation
The Initial Permuation (IP) is a description of how a byte wide interface is connected to a 64 bit block comprised of two 32 bit blocks (L and R). Consider a byte wide interface with the bits numbered 1-8. The event numbered bits go to the L Block and the odd numbered bits go to the R block. Note that the bit order is big endian, where bit 1 is most significant and bit 8 is least least significant. The input block is typically loaded as 8 successive byte loads:
The Final Permutation
The Final Permutation (IP-1) provides the inverse, it standarizes the output of the R16L16 output block to a byte wide interface. The Output block is ordered Right then Left to allow complementary operation for subsequent decryption. Were one to perform an IP followed by IP-1 without any intervening round iteration operations, one would end up with odd and even bits swapped:
In the simplest hardware implementation of DES, the Left and Right blocks are comprised in hardware of four 8 bit register each. Each 8 bit register can be serially loaded (IP), serially unloaded (IP-1), or parallel output and parallel loaded (round interation). DES is an encryption algorithm originally required to be implemented in hardware, specified in 1977 - predating 16 or 32 bit microprocessor peripherals.
Permuted Choice 1
PC1 performs a similar function loading the C and D 28 bit registers (comprised of three 8 bit bidirectional shift register and 1 4 bit bidirectional shift register, all with parallel outputs). The C and D registers can be serially loaded (shifting right), or serially shifted left or right in a closed ring for encryption or decryption.
Note that bit 4 is used as input for both C and D. This implies that C(28) output is used as the serial input to D(25). The least significant bit is used for odd parity.

Do you believe fracking is safe?
I believe it is just as safe as underground and surface coal mining. Ahhh Yesss the good old days of copper coloured creeks, yellow air down wind from the power plants, so rich and thick you could chew it! Remember those days when you would cruise the country roads and enjoy the views of the pastures and cattle grazing or rows and rows of corn reaching for the sun? Then the next summer you would drive the same route and all the picturesque views were changed to heaps of dirt and rock and bull-dozers replaced the cattle? Ooooopps! Look out for that coal truck!!!!! Sure, fracking is safe

Suppose a function f(u) identically satisfies an equation of the form G{f(u+v),f(u),f(v)}=0 for all u and v and u+v in its domain. Here G(Z,X,Y) is a non vanishing polynomial in the three variables with constant coefficients. Then one says that f admits an ALGEBRAIC ADDITION THEOREM. IF f(u) is cos(u), then
while, if f(u) is the Weierstrass p-function with invariants g_2 and g_3, then
$G(Z,X,Y)=16(X+Y+Z)^2(X-Y)^2 -8(X+Y+Z){4(X^3+Y^3)-g_2(X+Y)-2g_3} +4(X^2+4XY+4Y^2-g_2)^2$
Here is the question: Characterize those polynomials G(Z,X,Y) which express an algebraic addition theorem.

5 Real People Who Got Screwed by Famous Movies Based on Them
When a movie says it's "based on a true story," we understand that not every detail can be exactly like it was in reality. Sometimes they have to merge characters or alter events to make the story move faster, otherwise those things would get pretty boring. Nobody wants to see an Elvis biopic that's 30 percent pooping scenes and 30 percent sleeping on piles of money. (Or maybe we do, but just a little.)
So, sometimes they change things for good reason -- and other times they just flat-out lie and make real people look like evil, cowardly, petty douchebags for the heck of it. For instance ...
#5. The Crazy Crewman in Titanic Was a Hero in Real Life
What You Saw in the Movie:
In James Cameron's Titanic, First Officer William Murdoch is the weasel-faced crew member who accepts a bribe from the film's villain, kills two people and shoots himself in the head. Seriously, you can tell he's going to do all that from the beginning just by looking at this guy's face:
And afterward, he's going to steal Christmas.
After the ship hits the iceberg and starts sinking, we see Murdoch taking money from Kate Winslet's rich, evil boyfriend (Billy Zane) in exchange for a spot in a lifeboat. Murdoch later throws the money in Zane's face, but still, a good guy wouldn't have taken it in the first place. Later, the crew is trying to keep the desperate passengers from rushing to the lifeboats when someone tries to get past them ... and Murdoch kills him.
"You'll all get your turn! Well, not you, obviously."
At the same time, another passenger is accidentally pushed forward. In the confusion, Murdoch kills him, too. Ashamed of what he has done, Murdoch turns the gun to his head and blows his brains out right there (when he could have just waited, like, five more minutes and let the ocean do the job for him).
But in Real Life ...
For all the insane amount of work James Cameron put into getting the Titanic to look just right, he didn't seem to give much of a crap about how he portrayed the real people in it. William Murdoch was really the name of the first officer of the Titanic, but other than that, they are completely different people: Not only was he not a coward and a murderer, but he actually saved people's lives. There's even a plaque to his memory in his hometown in Scotland, where he's remembered as a hero.
Notice how nowhere in there does it say "shooting poor people."
According to historians, Murdoch did everything possible to save people, guiding them to lifeboats and throwing deck chairs overboard for those in the water to cling to. He didn't commit suicide -- he drowned doing his job.
If he did shoot a pistol (and we don't know for sure that he did), it was into the air and only to "stop a potential riot." As for the bribe: That isn't even an exaggeration of anything, it's just completely made up.
The movie version wasn't worthy of that mustache.
After the movie's depiction of Murdoch caused an outrage in his hometown, Titanic producers apologized by donating $8,000 to the Murdoch Memorial Fund (a hefty sum, considering the movie only made $2.1 billion worldwide). The vice president of 20th Century Fox visited Scotland to apologize to Murdoch's family personally, but even then insisted they were all just reading the movie wrong, claiming that "I believe he was portrayed as a hero in the film."
"Wait, you mean he's not the blond guy? Oh shit."
And then, finally, James Cameron did make a change for the 3-D version of Titanic released in 2012 that made the movie more accurate: He changed the stars in the sky.
#4. Al Pacino's Portrayal of a Criminal Almost Got the Real Guy Killed
What You Saw in the Movie:
In Dog Day Afternoon, Al Pacino plays a bank robber who sells out his partner (John Cazale) to the FBI, getting him shot in the head in the back of a limo.
Fredo broke his heart so bad, he had to kill him in two movies. Oh, um, spoilers.
Pacino and Cazale play Sonny Wortzik and Sal Naturile, two guys who try to rob a bank but end up holing themselves up in there and taking the employees hostage. After over 10 hours of tense negotiation and Pacino yelling "Attica! Attica!" so much that he has since forgotten how to speak normally, the FBI agrees to drive Sonny, Sal and the hostages to the airport so they can board a jet. However, at one point an agent takes Sonny aside and suggests betraying Sal. Sonny acts outraged, but when Sal asks what they were talking about, he lies.
Later, as they sit in a limo in the airport waiting for the jet, Sonny acts nervous because he knows that the agents are planning to take out Sal, but doesn't warn him ... and then Sal is violently killed, with Sonny immediately surrendering and being arrested.
"Bullets to the face or eternal soap vigilance -- how is a man supposed to choose?"
But in Real Life ...
Not only did the real Sonny not betray his partner, but he only found out that the movie painted him as a traitor when it was played in front of 1,300 other inmates at the federal penitentiary where he lived. It was not pleasant.
Sonny is based on real-life bank robber John Wojtowicz, who says the movie "brought him some problems" with the other prisoners -- "problems" meaning he was beat up so badly that he had to spend more than a year in isolation (and couldn't sit the whole time, presumably). The saddest part is that Wojtowicz was actually eager to get "his" movie shown in front of the other men, since he had no idea that they'd taken some liberties with his life story: He was the one who asked Warner Bros. to send a copy to the prison, and they didn't even think to warn him.
The Longue Duree
He also didn't appreciate the part where Pacino says "Prison gangs are for pussies" and "I don't mind getting shanked."
Dog Day Afternoon was inspired by a Life magazine article on Wojtowicz's story, but nowhere in that article do they mention him cutting a deal with the FBI. In fact, screenwriter Frank Pierson admits he just made up that whole part and later regretted it when he found out what happened to Wojtowicz (but probably not as much as Wojtowicz). And the real Sal Naturile actually died while struggling for his rifle with an agent and was 18 at the time, but was played in the movie by a 40-year-old actor.
At least that explains that hair, and why he keeps saying "Groovy, dude."
#3. The Murderous Evil Boxer in Cinderella Man Wasn't Either of Those Things
What You Saw in the Movie:
In Cinderella Man (directed by Ron Howard), Russell Crowe plays real-life boxer James Braddock, nicknamed "The Cinderella Man" because he rises from poverty in the middle of the Great Depression and becomes the heavyweight champion of the world (and not because of his controversial glass slipper fetish).
We're on to you, Crowe.
However, in order to claim the title, Braddock must face this movie's Ivan Drago, the ruthless Max Baer, who likes to brag about having killed two boxers. One died in the ring, and the other a few weeks after their fight (apparently Baer's punch was so fast that it broke the time barrier and hit him in the future). In one scene, Baer arrogantly warns Braddock that he could be next, then tells his wife, "You are far too pretty to be a widow" and "Maybe I could comfort you after he's gone."
"And by comfort you, I mean kill you, too, of course."
Even the fight's promoter takes Braddock aside and warns him about Baer's murderous fists, since he doesn't want a death on his conscience, but the hero decides to go ahead with the match anyway, and not only survives, but wins.
But in Real Life ...
The real Max Baer did kill one boxer in the ring, Frankie Campbell, but it was entirely accidental, and it haunted him his whole life. He sat by Campbell's bedside while he was in the hospital and broke down and cried when they pronounced him dead. Baer even raised money for Campbell's family and helped pay for his children's education. So either he was really, really humble and just didn't feel like mentioning any of that in the movie, or Ron Howard is full of shit.
In his last moments, the boxer wrote a message in blood over the canvas. It said, "Yep, he's full of shit."
Baer was a popular celebrity who was known and loved for his cheerful personality (and for wearing a star of David on his trunks while punching Hitler's favorite boxer). If anything, the accident made him less arrogant: After Campbell died, Baer started having nightmares and even lost a few fights because he was too afraid of hurting the other guys.
Also, his son played Jethro in The Beverly Hillbillies. So he must have been a good guy.
Oh, and as for the other boxer, who died some weeks after facing Baer, that was technically true. Ernie Schaaf was the guy, and oh, by the way, he happened to have both meningitis and the flu at the time, and even his family admitted that Baer couldn't possibly have had anything to do with that unless he had figured out a way to cover his gloves in diseases.
Obviously, Baer would have never threatened another boxer or bragged about having killed a guy as shown in the movie. Those scenes and the one with the promoter are completely made up, presumably because the filmmakers wanted to add some tension to the story. Otherwise it would just be a boring-ass movie about some boxer who rose from poverty, and who the hell would watch that?

- BSO Case Number: PB01-09-6959
- PIO Number: 01-9-22
- Date: Sept. 16 – 19, 2001
- Time: 10 a.m.
- Place of Occurrence: Atlantic Ocean, 2 miles off Pompano Beach
- name withheld, male (DECEASED)
- none
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are working with the Medical Examiner to positively identify a diver's body found floating in the ocean off Pompano Beach today.
At about 10 a.m. fisherman aboard a charter boat spotted the man's body floating about a mile and a half offshore. The Broward Sheriff's Office was contacted and a BSO Marine Patrol unit responded to the area and retrieved the body, which was partially dismembered, presumably by marine life. Articles of diving gear were attached to the remains.
Investigators theorize that the victim is probably a SCUBA diver who disappeared Sunday afternoon (9/16/01) in that same general area. The diver, a 42-year-old Jupiter, Florida man, was diving with three friends. After descending to a depth of 265 feet, using specialized equipment in what is termed a "technical dive", the man became separated from his friends while exploring a shipwreck. He was reported missing to the Coast Guard and several BSO Units, a BSO helicopter and other vessels searched for him until 9 p.m. Sunday.
The body was taken to the Broward Medical Examiner to be positively identified and to establish the cause of death, presumed to be accidental drowning. The victim's name is being withheld until positive identification and next-of-kin notification are accomplished.

The aim of the project is to expand the ethylene output of the plant, which was built on the basis of Lummus technology in the 1990s. The expansion will raise capacity to 860,000 tpy.
Toyo Engineering was awarded a contract from Chandra Asri
Petrochemical in Indonesia,
officials said on Tuesday. The agreement is
designed to expand the capacity of an existing naphtha
cracking plant located in the suburbs of Cilegon on the western
tip of Java.
The aim of the project is to expand the ethylene
capacity of the plant, which was built on the basis of
Lummus technology in the 1990s. The expansion will take the plant
from a current capacity of 600,000 tpy to
860,000 tpy.
Toyo said it was awarded the contract for detailed
engineering, procurement, and construction based on the
clients appreciation of Toyo's experience in the construction of the existing plant.
The client also appreciated various proposals submitted by Toyo
through front-end engineering design (FEED) performed
for this project since July 2012, which led
to this award.
The project is scheduled for completion at the end of
The Indonesian market, with a population of approximately 240
million and rapid economic growth, offers expanding demand for
petrochemical products, according to
Toyo officials. Toyo says it is currently constructing
Indonesia's first butadiene plant, also for Chandra Asri Petrochemical. Toyo officials say
that project will soon be completed.
Toyo is also implementing three large fertilizer projects on the islands of
Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Sulawesi.
With further ethylene downstream facilities being planned in
Indonesia, Toyo says it will strive to actively
expand its business in the country in collaboration with
PT Inti Karya Persada Tehnik (IKPT), a Toyo group company.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

I have a bachelors and masters degree in Civil Engineering(Final yr Master's student). My hobby is playwriting. Now, I would like to pursue a career in arts. So, I'm looking for some universities which offer degree in playwriting/screen-writing and direction.
I have no clue about where to get started. So, I request you guys to guide me.
Edit: I don't have any degree pertaining to arts now. So, I don't know if I'm eligible for masters. May be I need a bachelors degree first.

It's been over three decades since Christchurch record shop employee and music fan, Roger Shepherd was inspired to start a record label as an outlet for South Island bands. And it was the city of Dunedin that quickly became most strongly associated with Flying Nun, and in 1982, four bands from that southern outpost – The Chills, Sneaky Feelings, the Stones and the Verlaines – each recorded a side for a double 12″ EP pack, which actually untitled, was referred to as the Dunedin Double.
The Dunedin EP theme also continues with Flying Nun's other Record Store Day release, the Bored Games – 'Who Killed Colonel Mustard.'
Released the same year as the Dunedin Double (1982) it introduced the music of a 17-year-old Shayne Carter, who would later go on to form The DoubleHappy's and Straightjacket Fits. In the tradition of many great bands they formed while attending high school, debuting at the school's talent contest in 1979 they went on to play a show supporting Toy Love.
As part of the Record Store Day release, the EP has been remastered and includes an insert of previously unseen photos. Limited to 1000 copies.

A friend of mine says that one is typically used for people and the other one is for objects. The dictionary is no help, it gives the same translation for both. Is there a significant difference or are these two fully interchangeable? When should I use 'ruhig' / 'still'?

The Problem is that ruhig and still both have several different meanings. One of the meanings of ruhig is calm or serene, as in the example
In this meaning, ruhig can clearly be used for people only, not for objects. Similarly, one meaning of still is guarded or reserved, as in
Again, this can only be used for people. So unfortunately there are no clear rules. If you really want to learn to use the two words correctly, I think you'll have to look at many examples and develop a feeling for the meanings. In the two Duden links above you'll find quite a few helpful examples.
But I agree with what others have said here already: don't be afraid of using the "wrong" word. People will still be able to understand you, even if they may pause and think for a second.
Meist kann man sie aber wechselseitig verwenden:
Eine andere Unterscheidung: Im Sinne von beruhigt wird nur ruhig verwendet:
Hier wird nicht still Blut gesagt. Blut stillen :) gibt es auch, aber um Verben ging es ja nicht.
Ein Unterschied zwischen Personen oder Sachen ist mir derart unbekannt, dass ich nachfragen muss, wofür man denn angeblich ruhig, und wofür still verwendet?
Bei einer Uhr mit Pendel/Zeiger würde man nur sagen, dass sie still steht, oder dass der Zug auf freier Strecke still steht. Aber ebenso steht der Marathonläufer mit Seitenstechen bei Kilometer 35 still.
Es gibt auch noch aus dem Wirtschaftsleben den stillen Teilhaber, der nicht durch einen ruhigen ersetzt werden kann. Aber ich kann es nur aufzählen, nicht begründen.
As other answers already pointed out, there are a lot of different meanings that those words encompass. Since the question does not clarify the context, what we're exactly talking about, I want to respond to the three intersecting definitions.
Before I start, I want to mention one very important fact. Two words are never fully interchangeable, otherwise one of those words will die soon. If two words have the same meaning, one is superfluously. That means, there is ever a subtle distinction between words, but, of course, in some contexts they are interchangeable without changing anything in meaning.
So, back to the words. The three meanings which those words share are:
(1) can be used for people, animals and objects. For (2) I'm not completely certain. You can use it for people and animals for sure, but I think it could be possible for objects, too. Though, I don't know any example right now. The latter one can only be used for people, and rarely for animals, too. Most times, when you use the latter one for animals, this is quite related to (2) as you will see in the examples below.
Note, often you will rephrase the sentences using still or ruhig as nouns (Stille, Ruhe), or using different words with similar meaning (e.g. leise). I just want to show a couple of sentences, using both the adjectives and the nouns.
Before I show the examples, I also will mention that there are a lot of examples, where the words ruhig or still are used figuratively, but I don't want to incorporate them into my answer.
