KNOXVILLE — After spending several years working alongside Mark Richt at Georgia, Tennessee defensive coordinator John Jancek and secondary coach Willie Martinez now are trying to beat their former boss.
Jancek and Martinez downplay the notion that their personal connections to Georgia give them added incentive Saturday against the sixth-ranked Bulldogs. Jancek spent five seasons at Georgia and Martinez was there for nine years before both were fired in December 2009.
"I'm looking forward to it just like any other game," Martinez said. "Obviously it's a heck of a challenge for us, trying to defend that offense. That's been the main focus."
This isn't a new situation for Martinez, who faced Georgia last year as Auburn's secondary coach. But this marks the first time Jancek has coached against the Bulldogs since leaving Georgia.
"I've got a lot of fond memories of the University of Georgia," Jancek said. "I've got a lot of great friends still on staff and in the community. My children still have friends in the Athens area. That's a part of my life that I'll always remember and be thankful for. But it's competition. It's a ballgame. That's how we approach it."
Richt, who played with Martinez at Miami before beginning his coaching career, says he's handling the situation in a similar manner.
"I enjoy seeing those guys," Richt said. "I like them very much, and I consider them good friends. We go compete. We're looking at tape. We're not looking at coaches' pictures in the media guide. We're just looking at the film and trying to formulate a plan, and they're doing the same I'm sure."
Martinez coached Georgia's defensive backs from 2001-04 and was defensive coordinator from 2005-09. Jancek was the Bulldogs' linebackers coach from 2005-08 and a co-defensive coordinator in 2009. Georgia won at least 10 games three of the five years they were both there and finished No. 2 in the nation in 2007.
They were fired in 2009 after the Bulldogs gave up over 40 points in three games for a second straight season. Some Tennessee players believe Jancek and Martinez have extra motivation for this game.
"They haven't really mentioned it, but I can tell they really want this game," Tennessee safety Brian Randolph said. "They want every game, but they're intense this week."
That intensity may be due to the quality of the opponent. Georgia (3-1, 2-0 SEC) has scored at least 35 points in each of its four games this season with a star-studded offense that features Aaron Murray, who is 99 yards away from former Georgia quarterback David Greene's Southeastern Conference record of 11,528 career yards passing.
"We called," Jancek quipped. "They're going to let us get 12 guys on the field and play them with 12."
Jancek's defense has forced 15 turnovers to rank third among all Football Bowl Subdivision teams in takeaways. Tennessee (3-2, 0-1) has allowed 26.8 points per game so far after giving up 35.7 points per game last year under former coordinator Sal Sunseri. Players credit Jancek for simplifying things in their 4-3 scheme after they struggled to adapt to Sunseri's 3-4 system last year.
"He's come in and he's shown us that he has a simpler set of defensive rules and a simpler set of defensive words that we can go by so everybody along the defense understands what he's talking about and what he's doing, so you can be comfortable playing your position," defensive end Corey Miller said.
Jancek and Martinez now enter a seemingly uncomfortable situation as they face the school that once employed them. But they say they're treating this week just like any other game.
"It's business," Jancek said. "They're coming to Knoxville, and it's going to be our intention and our job to beat them."

Where did this come from? It sounds nasty to me (I am not a native speaker). But it seems correct. Can somebody explain this?

If you're talking about you and your spouse, it's not possible to be "married with" anyone; you can only be "married to" someone.
Hence there is no ambiguity in saying "married with three kids", as the "with" cannot be associated with "married".
Did you hear it or read it?
If you heard it, you may not have correctly heard the comma, which de-nastys to:
can safely be resolved to
at which point the context & the meaning become completely clear. I don't think the sentence sounds nasty, as nobody would ever want to imply what you are referring to.
Great! As a non-native English speaker from another place of the world, sometimes you just don't figure out some of the rules for translation-that should obey the side of the foreigner language and not your own. This case is a good example.
In Spanish you say: "Estoy casado con Tania".
In the question there's obviously a mistake which has its origin in a wrong translation. Clearly, the punctuation helps to give a satisfying connotation, but the problem isn't there.
"I'm married to three children" is what "Estoy casado con 3 niños" means in Spanish and is totally wrong, mainly because the word con means with most of the time. In this case, the translation should become not word by word but understanding the meaning of the phrase. Much of the time the Spanish speaking people fall into this kind of mistakes out of the logic that Spanish language has implicitly, but to learn English as well as other idioms, you most open your mind to break those language barriers.
In case of a translation, the fix for it would be to add the comma. Simple.
Anyway, this has to do with a wrong conception of the verbal form and how it is used.
Without seeing/hearing it in context, this statement appears to be a completely neutral statement of fact - no implications, nasty or otherwise.
It's possible that we're missing some important detail. You may need to provide more information about the context in which this phrase was used if we are to spot any hidden malice.
It means the speaker is married, and has three children (generally living with them as dependents).
Perhaps it isn't the best grammar. It certainly isn't the clearest way of putting it. However, it references the IRS (USA tax) code, in particular someone who is filing a joint return with a spouse and has other minor dependents. Several examples of this construction can be seen here. As such, any person who fills out a USA tax form is liable to know immediately what it means.
This terminology also was used in the name of a hit TV series.

I will be away from my email for about 6 months. I don't want any of the emails in that time to be in my Inbox when I return. Is there a way to set up a filter that will send all incoming emails to a separate folder for a date-limited time? Thanks!
No, you cannot setup a filter based on a time period.
You could setup a filter to send all of your mail to the Archive (and also label them if you want) but you would need to turn that filter off once you no longer want it active.
If you are interested in learning some scripting, you could solve this problem using Apps Script. Basically, you would write a script and store it in your Google Drive - maybe the script would scan your Inbox for new mail every hour and send it to the Archive - and schedule it to run every day, every hour, whatever, and put some sort of check into the script code to cause it to stop running after a certain date. You would need some scripting skills to do this (JavaScript), but the programming environment provided by Apps Script does make it very easy to do things like this.
Inbox Pause (inboxpauseDOTcom) will do that for you. The app is intended for more a more frequent pause/resume toggle. If you just want to take a 6-month break, the suggestion above to create a filter for all incoming email that skips the inbox and applies the label/folder you want is the right one.

I've been listening to a couple CDs that include Edith Piaf. Sometimes she rolls or trills her "R"s like in Spanish. Is this customary, local usage, artistic license or?

I remember a broadcast of la prochaine fois je vous le chanterai where they explained that when rolled/trilled R usage was decreasing, singers kept using them as it allowed them to project more power. Then mikes and amps decreased the importance of that aspect.
The language sounds surrounding the letter r dictate it's sound to some degree. For example the letter r next to ou in rouge sounds different to the letter r in voir.
Try this Advanced R guide for more details
I think @Evpok is right in that you must differentiate between "spanish" R's rolled with the tip of the tongue and ones where the rolling happens at the back of the tongue.
As far as I can tell, Piaf used the latter to put emphasis and solemnty to her words (as in "je ne rrregrette rrrien"), but rarely the former.
"Back of tongue" rolled R's sound mostly artistic and stylized to me. I've never heard them used in everyday conversation, I guess because they would not only be pedantic but also awfully inconvenient to pronounce and unfluid.
As far as metropolitan France is concerned, "Spanish" rolled/trilled R's in contrast are not uncommon in some regions, mostly among the pre-baby boom generation. This pronunciation likely originates in local patois that were widely spoken in most of rural France before WWII, among which occitan dialects but also other dialects in the center and northern part of the country such as Berrichon.
As a side note, you may have other regional variations of R's. Many natives of the Basque country for instance (not only older generations but youths as well) tend to have more stressed, rough and guttural R's than the average.

One of Maimonidies 13 principles of faith is believing in the resurrection of the dead wherein the dead will arise from their graves. My question is have chazal provided any guidelines for how we are to survive this zombie apocalypse?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Follow the instructions of the Rambam (De'os 1:7):
There's nothing wrong with being a zombie, so don't try to escape being turned into one. You just need to have a positive attitude about it.
Zombies are actually quite problematic, though the problem seems to be with only one female zombie, Kol Haron Api, as Zephania (3:8) said:
But fundamentally, Jews shouldn't have to worry about the zombie apocalypse, as is made clear in Isaiah (66:14), zombies will only attack G-d's enemies:
However, Isaiah (26:19-20) does offer some practical advice while Kol Haron Api is out and about:
As far as what to look out for, Shlomo, as usual, has some insight (Mishlei 25:23):
So anyone with a second tongue is likely a zombie.
Your mistake is in assuming that zombie-tude is the same as resurrection of the dead. Re-animation is not the same as resurrection, as we learn from Ezekiel:
It is only when the prophet follows the divine command to prophesy to them that they have life:
Until they have prophecy-induced breath they are mere flesh and not alive. Once they are alive they also know their creator and will turn from their zombie ways, as we know from the fact that Ezekiel lived to tell the tale for 11 more chapters.
Therefore, when the zombie apocalypse comes, you have two choices: (a) smite them, as they are not living people, or (b) read to them from this book and they will turn to your side.
To answer this question, we must first address a puzzling mishnah (Avos 2:6):
Hilel sees a skull floating in the water. He says to it, "Since you drowned, you were drowned; and your drowner will also be drowned."
The answers, respectively, are:
As it turns out, this specific mishnah spoken to the zombie is a continuation of what preceded it (2:5): "In a place where there are no men, you should try to be a man." Hilel is encouraging the zombie that he too can be a normal man. Contrary to the link quoted in the question, zombies can be reasoned with.
So in summary, the short answer for how to survive the zombie apocalypse: Take public speaking lessons.
Well there's one Talmudic sage who rejected his colleague's arguments by stating, "whoever said that has no brains in his head!" Hence just bring in a few skeptical Talmudists and the zombies will conclude there are no brains to be had here.

The first Bowling Green City Commission meeting of the year is usually a lot of housekeeping, routine items, and this one has its fair share of that, but city officials will also be looking at expanding its limits for a new property.
In the first meeting of the year, the bowling green city commission also plans to move ahead with a second phase of sidewalk construction.
A topic that always has the interest of community members.
"We started just a few years back taking some money and setting it aside to finish some gaps in sidewalks usually near either a school or a heavily trafficked area, or one of the city parks," said Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Wilkerson.
The City of Bowling Green is looking at spending about one hundred fifty thousand dollars on building new sidewalks on Russellville Road and East Eleventh.
"We want to be a pedestrian friendly community, and out of sheer need to, there's a lot more people walking places. Folks with cars may not realize that as much, but there's a lot of people that still have to walk to get around," said Bowling Green City Commissioner Bill Waltrip.
Another issue they'll be looking at is adding about ten acres to the city limits.
It's in the area near the new Smallhouse and Cave Mill Road intersection.
It's a fairly routine process, but Commissioner Waltrip always wants to know if this is beneficial.
"I think when we look at taking any property into the city, we have to look at does it benefit the city tax payer?"
The empty lot now is suspected to become single family homes.
By adding this to the city limits Mayor Wilkerson said it now makes it easier for city resources to function.
"Especially from an emergency response situation, if the entire intersection is in the city, you don't have to worry about if it's on that side of the road, if it's in the county and so forth. So, it will help us out in that area, plus it will allow us to install, if it's in the city, we'll be installing some street lights along that curb section," said Wilkerson.
The commission will discuss both of these Tuesday night.
The commissioners will be meeting at city hall at seven p.m.
This is just the first reading about the new lot, and will not become official until whatever is decided on the second reading.

In Samuel James Patterson's article titled Gauss Sums in The Shaping of Arithmetic after C. F. Gauss's Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Patterson says
"Hecke [proved] a beautiful theorem on the different of k, namely that the class of the absolute different in the ideal class group is a square. This theorem - an analogue of the fact that the Euler characteristic of a Riemann surface is even - is the crowning moment (coronidis loco) in both Hecke's book and Andre Weil's Basic Number Theory."
About the same matter, J.V. Armitage says (in his review of the 1981 translation of Hecke's book):
"That beautiful theorem deservedly occupies the 'coronidis loco' in Weil's Basic number theory and was the starting point for the work on parity problems in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry, which has borne such rich fruit in the past fifteen years."
What is a reference for learning about the parity problems that Armitage alludes to?
It can be impossible to verbalize the reasons for aesthetic preferences, but
Why might Weil, Patterson and Armitage have been so favorably impressed by the theorem that the ideal class of the different of a number field is a square in the ideal class group?
Weil makes no comment on why he chose to end Basic Number Theory with the above theorem. It should be borne in mind that Weil's book covers the class number formula and all of class field theory, so that the standard against which the above theorem is being measured in the above quotes is high!

Scientists at Duke University have put together an experimental camera that can zoom in on portions of an image to extraordinary details after a photo has been taken. This development can alter the way images are captured and viewed.
The new camera collects more than 30 times as much picture data as compared to existing cameras who can take photographs that have pixel counts in the tens of millions. A pixel is one of the many tiny areas of illumination on a display screen from which an image is composed. The more pixels, the more detailed the image will be.
The $25 million project is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Defense.The military is interested in high-resolution cameras as tools for aerial or land-based surveillance.
The Duke device has been named 'Aware-2', is a long way from being a product. The current version needs lots of space to house and cool its electronic boards; it weighs 100 pounds and is about the size of two stacked microwave ovens. It also takes about 18 seconds to shoot a frame and record the data on a disk.
If the Duke device can be shrunk to hand-held size, it can revolutionize photography. Instead of deciding where to focus a camera, a user would simply shoot a scene, then later zoom in on any part of the picture and view it in extreme detail. That means desirable or useful portions of a photo could be identified after the image was captured.
Taking a picture with a traditional digital camera "is like looking through a soda straw since you can only see a narrow part of the scene," said David Brady, optical engineer at Duke, who led the team that designed the one-gigapixel camera. "Ours is more like a fire hose, the world comes at you full blast."
The secret of the Duke device is its spherical lens, a design first proposed in the late 19th century. Although very effective spherical lenses exist naturally (the human eye).
The Duke group overcame the challenge by installing nearly 100 microcameras, each with a 14-megapixel sensor, on the outside of a small sphere about the size of a football. The setup yields nearly 100 separate but accurately focused images. A computer connected to the sphere then stitches them together to create a composite whole.
As of now, the camera takes only black-and-white pictures. Dr. Brady said his team will finish building a 10-gigapixel color version by year-end and then will construct a 50-gigapixel device.
The team hopes to begin manufacturing industrial-type gigapixel cameras on a limited basis in 2013. But scientists estimate it would take at least several years before a hand-held, consumer version of the technology becomes available.
Details of the Duke camera were published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

I made this dessert for date night with Vegan Mom by combining the methods from my pudding cake and cobber recipes. The base is sauteed bananas and Grand Marnier, topped with a fluffy cake with hints of orange and bursts of chocolate. It's not as oozy as the pudding cake, and not as fruity as the cobbler. And it's freaking delicious.
- 1/3 cup margarine
- 2 large bananas, thickly sliced
- 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1/2 cup orange juice, minus 2 tbsp
- 2 tbsp Grand Marnier
- 1/2 tsp orange extract
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees
1. Heat a frying pan over med-hi heat. Melt butter then add sliced bananas. Fry for a few mins per side, until they are a nice golden brown. Add Grand Marnier. It will bubble like crazy. When it stops, remove from the stove and transfer into an 8 x 8 baking dish. Make sure the banana slice are spaced evenly.
2. Put sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to bubbling, without stirring, over medium to med-hi heat. Let bubble for a minute, then remove from the heat.
3. While sugar mixture is heating, make the cake. Whisk together dry ingredients, then add soymilk (don't mix yet). Place the two tbsp of Grand Marnier in a 1/2 cup, then fill up with orange juice. Add to dry ingredients along with extract and zest. Whisk together.
4. Pour cake batter over the bananas, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter.
5. Spoon the sugar mixture over the top of the batter. Bake for 35 mins, or until the top has reached a nice golden brown and the bananas are bubbling on the bottom.

Hi Vegan Dad! I made this your cake recently. You can check the picture at http://reversingdiabetes-2.com/?p=328. It doesn't look like exactly as yours, but this is a real masterpiece. Thank you!
We found the cake too sweet for our taste. What would you recommend, skip on sugar coating or use less sugar in the batter? And why could it be that your chocolate chips on the top but mine mixed with bananas? // Julia

Dear friends,
Denote the function
$$ G_a(x)=\mathcal{F}^{-1}\left(e^{-|\xi|^a}\right)(x)= \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_R \exp\left(-i x \xi - |\xi|^a\right)d\xi\;. $$
It is well known that if $a\in ]0,2]$, $G_a(x)$ is the density of symmetric stable laws. The problem is what happens if $a>2$ ? It is not non-negative any more. But $\int_R G_a(x)d x=1$. Where can I find more properties of this function? For example, how does it decay (modulo the small oscillation)?
Thank you very much for any hints or references.

Suppose $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$. If $f:\mathbb R\to \mathbb R$ and is measurable, then $f(x)=cx$. This is referred to as Cauchy's functional equation.
Suppose $f:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R^n$ instead. Does it still hold that $f$ is linear?
Wikipedia says that Hilbert's fifth problem is a generalization of this functional equation, but I can't parse that page well enough to understand how it relates.

[transportation fuels greenhouse gases]
According to the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) trade
organization, the US biodiesel industry produced more than one
billion gallons (B gal) of biodiesel fuel in 2011, surpassing
the 800 million gallon target established for the year under
the US Environmental Protection
Agencys Renewal Fuel Standard (RFS). While this is less
than 1% of the total US diesel production, it is a significant
volume for a new industry.
Experts agree that this record-breaking 2011 production was
largely due to the EPA having reinstated the earlier $1/gal tax
credit for biodiesel in December 2010. This followed a
disastrous 2010, in which the lack of the tax credit resulted
in dramatic cuts in production, investment and employment in
the biodiesel industryyet, the industry persevered in
However, 2013 should bode well for the biodiesel industry.
In early August 2012, the Senate Finance Committee approved a
package extending the biodiesel production tax credit through
2013. In addition, on Sept. 14, 2012, the EPA further increased
the 2013 biodiesel volume requirements for biomass-based diesel
under the RFS to 1.28 B gal. These actions would appear to
position biodiesel for continued growth, at least through the
end of 2013. Encouraged by a favorable environment at both the federal and
state levels, several companies have announced plans to expand
biodiesel production capacities and/or distribution
The EPA is responsible for developing and implementing
regulations to ensure that domestically consumed transportation
fuels contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The RFS
created under the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 established the
first mandates for renewable fuels. Significantly, the initial
RFS applied only to gasoline, not diesel.
However, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of
2007 expanded the RFS program (now referred to as
RFS2) to include diesel. EISA also increased the
required volume of renewable fuel to be blended into
transportation fuel (both gasoline and diesel) from 9 B gal in
2008, to 36 B gal by 2022. Pure biodiesel, or B100,
is typically consumed as a blend with conventional or
ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Reacting to widespread criticism that the earlier, ethanol-focused program did not
result in a net positive effect on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, EISA also required the
EPA to apply lifecycle GHG performance threshold standards to
ensure that each renewable fuel category results in fewer net
GHG emissions than the petroleum-based
product it replaces.
While well-intentioned, the lifecycle GHG threshold
standards create additional hurdles for renewable producers,
who now have to perform and pay for extensive studies to
determine and document net GHG emissions for their new products and
processes, it also stifles innovation to a certain degree.
Nevertheless, funded in part by US Department of Energy grants,
companies continue to develop and commercialize new biodiesel
In September 2012, the EPA announced that it had increased
the biodiesel volume requirements under the RFS by 28%, from 1
B gal for 2012 to 1.28 B gal for 2013. According to an NBB news
release, while this represents a modest increase over the
industrys 2011 record production of 1.1 B gal, it puts
the industry on course for steady, sustainable growth in the
coming years.
New biodiesel facilities, particularly in the US
Midwest, are unlikely, as the majority of the existing plants
are located in this region to take advantage of the domestic
soybean crop. However, several companies have constructed new
plants on both the East Coast and West Coast to serve local
markets. The infrastructure required to store and distribute
biodiesel still has growth potential and ARC Advisory Group has
observed related activities in 2012. Many appear to be based on
the anticipation that the government would sustain or increase
the biodiesel mandates in the coming year, as well as
individual state mandates for greater biofuel use. While these projects are small scale, many are
In March 2012, Motiva announced a project to convert existing storage
at its Sewaren Terminal in New Jersey to both ULSD and B100
biodiesel storage and to improve associated rail logistics.
These investments will enable the terminal to readily supply
multiple blends of biodiesel (including ULSD/B100 blends) for
shipment to New York State assisting in a new mandate required
use of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil.
In July 2012, New York-based Ultra Green Energy Services
announced the opening of biodiesel operations at the Brookhaven
Rail Terminal in New York. This project was also stimulated by the
New York State low-sulfur heating oil mandate.
In September 2012, Magellan Midstream Partners celebrated
the opening of a new $2.5 million biodiesel storage and loading
facility at the companys large Clear Lake Terminal in Des
Moines, Iowa. This new facility will help Iowas 14
biodiesel production refineries supply truck stops and other
fuel retailers throughout the Midwest. HP

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.

Henninger: Meet Generation Jobbed
Who will get the political blame for the sky-high joblessness among younger voters?
Twitter has reduced historical memory to minutes, but think back to what had the political class atwitter last week. Back then the air filled with worry on the left that Barack Obama was losing his juice after the gun-control setback, the sequester backfire and the Syrian red-line roll-up.
The left can breathe easy. Conservatives this week, clearly over the funk of losing to him last November, have resumed their favorite political blood sport: Tearing each other apart. The conservative tribes are at it again over that most ancient of all grievances: immigration.
Here's the rub: Just as this self-immolating civil war resumes, the political left is getting out ahead of the conservatives on an issue that matters a lot more to most people: the seemingly intractable problem of young Americans who can't find jobs.
Related Video
In Campaign 2012, Barack Obama promised the youth vote a rose garden. What they've got instead, as far as the eye can see, is an employment wasteland. With the right encouragement, this voting bloc could turn against the happy faces that made so many empty promises to them. The progressives are taking note.
The left-wing think tank, the Center for American Progress, published a study last month called "The High Cost of Youth Unemployment." This past Sunday, the New York Times carried a deconstruction of the youth unemployment nightmare, and the Huffington Post built its own piece around the Times's analysis.
After nurturing this voting bloc, the left can see that the millennials and their debt-laden parents will start looking for someone to blame for their off-the-charts joblessness. But while the left tries to defuse this time bomb, as far as one can tell, the GOP's attention to it is virtually nonexistent. Gotta get America's version of the Berlin Wall built along the Rio Grande to keep Mexicans out of our fish-cleaning factories and grass-cutting jobs.
The Center for American Progress study is a straight-ahead description of the grim employment status and diminished earnings prospects of whites, Hispanic and especially younger blacks. The official unemployment rate for people in their late teens and post-college years is around 16%, but add in those who've given up looking or taken jobs flipping hamburgers (underemployment) and their home-alone status moves past 25%. For young blacks—the most politically misled people in America—the out-of-work number is between 40% and 50%.
The word "Obama" appears nowhere in the Center's study, but it doesn't dodge the fact that these high unemployment numbers have persisted the past four years. Other than noting lost consumer demand, there's no pitch here for more government spending as the solution. In fact the Center says that knock-on problems of a low-jobs generation include the costs of "government-provided health care, increased crime, and additional welfare payments."
While this problem won't go away soon, the Times piece suggests how it will be explained away. The problem is global (true), and the "root causes" include low educational achievement (true, just don't mention the teachers unions) and not enough retraining. To help, we also could ease those parts of "the regulatory thicket without societal benefits" (translation: hands off ObamaCare). Other than that, economists find all this youth unemployment "a very big puzzle." Hmm.
Europe, awash in college diplomas, has had high youth unemployment for decades. It's an established school of study for economists there. And they know the causes: a decline in economic growth made worse by regulatory thickets (with or without societal benefits), and entitlement obligations and tax regimes that drove the entrepreneurial instinct out of Europe. What remained were jobs in government bureaucracies.
The U.S. under Barack Obama is at the edge of the dark jobs forest Europe disappeared into in the 1970s, with our annual growth during his term down around 2% instead of over its normal 3%. Our kids are starting to look and sound like Europe's smart kids—despondent and resigned.
On Sunday, Barack Obama stood before the graduates of Ohio State and exhorted them to pour their energies and new knowledge into . . . politics. His speech referred once to salaried work: The job market, he said, is "steadily healing." An adverb fronting a gerund; talk doesn't get any weaker than that.
For an alert opposition, openings exist. The Young America's Foundation just did a deep polling dive into the attitudes of these voters, and one answer stands out. Asked if the "free market is mostly unfair and requires government intervention to correct," 33% agreed and 45% disagreed. And a November analysis by Civicyouth.org at Tufts University noted that younger black males (age 18-24) have never been as excited about Barack Obama as women are. Not having a job could chill enthusiasm for any president.
None of these voting blocs will default to the GOP in two years or four years. Denunciations of "government" won't win them over. How the jobs catastrophe has happened to this generation requires extended Economy 101 tutorials from smart conservative candidates, if they know how.
But enough about jobless 24-year-old Americans. Let's get back to the Battle of the Rio Grande.

Are there any applications that attempt to block ads in applications? It seems that it should be theoreticaly possible, by blocking web requests to certain sites, for example.
The most popular method is replacing the built-in hosts files with one that forces DNS queries to well-known ad servers to result in 127.0.0.1 (localhost). This effectively blocks most common ads, and most of the Google Ads in applications.
The downside is that applications can tell that ads are being blocked, and can either refuse to run or otherwise degrade their usefulness while the ad blocking is in effect.
Also, root access is required to replace the hosts file.
Beyond that, I haven't seen anything that can selectively block web requests for arbitrary apps. For some programs that only use internet access for ads, you could use a firewall app to prevent them from accessing the internet or -- if your ROM supports it (like the latest CyanogenMod) -- revoke the internet access permission from the app.
Again, root access is generally required to set up a system-wide app-level firewall or replace your ROM.
There are two different apps, AdFree Android and AdAway that block ads, theoretically in all applications. You must have a rooted phone in order to use these.
AdFree Android works by
which is essentially an automated solution of modifying the hosts file, brought up by another user here. It appears that Adaway does the same thing.
If you do not have a rooted phone, you can, at the very least, use the Firefox Browser with the Adblock Plus AddOn (installed via Firefox).
You can also use a firewall or permissions-limiting application (DroidWall or LBE Privacy Guard, for example) to limit internet access for particular applications. These also require root.
To disable ads, you have to understand where the ads actually come from. There are easy-to-identify ad servers, and those can be easily avoided by editing your hosts file (you can edit hosts file on a rooted phone through ES file manager, or from a terminal session be it local or from your laptop/desktop).
But when the ad servers keep having random subdomains, that can be a real chore to keep chasing those updated servers. There are applications (previously mentioned) that help to ease that task--but it still is the same solution of getting hit with ads--and then blocking the new servers. None of those methods work if the ip address gets hardcoded in. That is the trump card.
Another option is to enable a firewall that denies ANY traffic for a specific application. That means: updates, ads, pushing your stats, etc...don't use your data plan and don't tie up your phone. Avast! Mobile security (free on marketplace or Play) gives you granular control when you want it. I have used Avast on desktops and servers, and run it on rooted Gingerbread and CyanogenMod9 (ICS). Very good appl.
Adblock Plus is now available for Android.
Here's a snippet from Lifehacker's review:
Aside from the DNS / IP address-based ad blockers, I'd also recommend MinMinGuard (requires a rooted phone and the Xposed Framework). It features API-based blocking, where function calls provided by the advertisement network SDK are blocked.
The latest Android Market app (I have 3.15 which is the first time I've noticed the option) has an option to allow you to prevent Google or AdMob ads from tracking you and personalizing the ads to your interests. If that's all you want to stop, then it's just a tickbox away.
Open the Market app, pressMenu scroll down to the Other Settings heading where you should see:
Just remove the tick from that tickbox to:
Although incomplete I have a solution in place that is sufficient for me. I have configured the dnsmasq dns server in my lan to serve 0.0.0.0 as the response to a specified set of advertising hostnames.
The pro is that I have one solution that fixes this for both my tablet and my phone without the need to root either of them. The con is that it only works at home on my wifi.
I like the firewall approach. Recently installed the NoRoot Firewall and by trial and error found that if I block access to l[ab]-in-f[0-9]{3}\.1e100\.net (actually, the app doesn't support regex in addresses), ads don't get through.

MessageBox not appearing until work is done on grid
I'm having trouble getting any type of messagebox to appear. I have a tree grid that with this UI can contain hundreds of nodes. The current example I have is 888 total items in the grid. When the grid gets this large the collapse/expand methods can take a large amount of time during which the browser appears as it is hung.
I have placed a collapse button on my toolbar and in the selection method did this:
MessageBox mb = MessageBox.wait("XML Preview", "Collapsing tree", "Please wait...");
The messagebox is never appearing at all...to see if it was appearing and closing i deleted the mb.close line and tried it again...the MessageBox doesn't appear until after all of the collapseAll work is done.
I thought maybe this is happening because the grid is being updated so it appears over the top of the mb. To make sure that wasn't the case I shrunk my grid window and see nothing appearing behind it.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried this several ways..on the before collapse/collapse grid events..beforeselect/select button events..view ready.. No luck..
19 Feb 2013 5:45 AM #2
The problem is that in your browser, everything is single threaded. You need to add some time between showing the MessageBox and collapsing your entries.Code:
MessageBox mb = MessageBox.wait("XML Preview", "Collapsing tree", "Please wait..."); Scheduler.get().scheduleDeffered(new Scheduler.Command() { ... treeGrid.collapseAll(); mb.close(); .. }
19 Feb 2013 10:00 AM #3
Thank you for the response, knew it was something like that.
Instead of the wait I'd like to do a progress bar but thats even worse..can't update the progress bar for the same exact problem..tried nesting another defer in there but didn't work ...If not this is good enough thanks a lot
26 Mar 2013 11:35 AM #4
I would add your treeGrid code into an Events.Show listener, which you could add to the MessageBox.getDialog().

Feel free to help or provide information.
I'm using ubuntu 12.10 with ux31e .. when the battery reaches about 15% missing the notebook off, has anyone got a similar problem?
I've checked /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog and nothing abnormal is showing immediately before it powers down.

The commit message doesn't indicate what it fixes.
PS: disabling BT in BIOS doesn't do anything in my case - just disabled it in Ubuntu.
Does anyone have this working with an external monitor? I've got an UX21E and a 27" Fujitsu monitor and an HDMI cable. The monitor doesn't react to the Zenbook in any way, it just says there is no signal and then it goes to sleep. The Zenbook (running quantal) does state there is an "unknown" monitor with 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions, but even when I try to turn those on, there is nothing on the screen.

So interestingly, the HDMI monitor is being called "VGA1" here... any ideas as to where start resolving this?Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

It's especially troubling that your HDMI is calling itself VGA1. I'm not sure how you can diagnose this. I suppose it would be good to make sure that you're using the Intel video driver, and check its version. Also, be sure that none of the cables are attached while booting up. Only attach them once you're fully logged in.
Maybe I should have actually plugged the HDMI cable into the HDMI slot instead of the VGA one. I just started wondering today "how can they actually fit a VGA connector onto a machine this size..."

This question already has an answer here:
IANAP, so feel free to berate me for thinking apocryphal thoughts! Just as magnetism has two charges, in which particles of like-charge repulse and particles of dissimilar charge attract, might gravity have two charges in which particles of like-charge attract and particles of dissimilar charge repulse?
In practice, the state of magnetism means that there is no system composed of many particles in which all particles attract. Rather, there is a net 0 charge if there are equal numbers of each particle type.
My silly theory regarding gravity would mean in practice that there would be two (or more) "clumps" (or universes) in existence, which are racing away from each other. So in our clump (universe) we see only attracting particles, because all the opposing particles have long since separated out and are racing away beyond the boundary of the observable universe. Just like the alien who lands in China and assumes that all humans have slanted eyes, we only observe the attracting particles (or "charge") and disregard the other, unobservable, "charge".
Is there any way to disprove this idea, or like string theory can I go one believing it as it can never be disproved?

I don't have a very good diet due to my work schedule, but I would like to eat something everyday that is as good for me as possible to hopefully offset some of the negatives of my normal diet.
What food or combination of foods would be best to consume daily in order to reap the most benefit?
I was considering a juicer and something like blueberries, carrots, apples, spinach, etc.
I don't care about the flavor, necessarily, only about the nutrition/vitamin density.
I would like the overall cost of ingredients, per serving, to be $3 or less.

The Kansas Adjutant General's Department was recently notified of a significant reduction in federal funding that supports the Kansas National Guard's Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Sites in Salina and Fort Riley. The RSMS program rebuilds and refurbishes military equipment for the Department of Defense. The current 2013 RSMS annual budget of $22 million is being cut by approximately $15 million.
The large federal funding cuts to the RSMS program require significant changes to the program and as result the current full-time RSMS workforce of 182 positions will be reduced to a total of approximately 70 to 85 positions in January. These jobs are unclassified, temporary, full-time state of Kansas positions with benefits which have been fully funded by Department of Defense. All of the positions are held by civilian employees and include jobs such as mechanics, welders, and various other skills necessary to work on military equipment.
"Unfortunately, these federal funding reductions will result in the elimination of approximately 97 to 112 state positions between October and January 2014," said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, Kansas adjutant general. "With this reduction in staff, we will also be required to close the Salina RSMS location in January."
RSMS employees will be provided state resources to assist them. Some individuals will be offered the option to transfer to Fort Riley.
"Our staff will be working closely with the individuals affected to ensure they have access to the help they need to seek out new employment or to seek out benefits to assist them," said Tafanelli.
"This is an extremely difficult time for our staff and for the Salina and Fort Riley communities where the RSMS sites have resided for a number of years."
With this funding cut, Department of Defense modified the goals of the RSMS program reducing the production requirements for 2013-2014 to ensure the remaining staff members can carry out the required workload.
The Fort Riley site opened in 1993 and the Salina site opened in 2006.

Just wanted to share a method I just cooked up.. pretty simple really, and my case only required one instance, so eager to hear suggestions-
The button:
items: [ { xtype: 'button', text: 'Menu', toggle: 'open' } ]
init: function(){ this.control({ 'button[toggle]': { tap: function(btn) { if (btn.toggle == 'open'){ btn.toggle = 'close'; btn.setUi('action'); console.log('Open!'); } else { btn.toggle = 'open'; btn.setUi('default'); console.log('Close!'); } } } }); }

I'm confused. I tried to implement this but the CSS validator falls over on the ::after and ::before with "The pseudo-element ::before can't appear here in the context css2".
But that's using the code on the first page of this thread, BEFORE you added the CSS3 solution.
I also can't find a way to get Eclipse to use CSS3 validation and shut up.
How do I use any of this?

Wall Street Takes Plunge
(AP) – Wall Street greeted a second Obama term the way it greeted the first.
Investors dumped stocks Wednesday in the sharpest sell-off of the year with the election only hours behind them.
Frantic selling recalled the days after Obama's first victory, as the financial crisis raged and stocks spiraled downward.
Four years later, American voters returned a divided government to power and left investors fretting about a package of tax increases and government spending cuts that could stall the economic recovery unless Congress acts to stop it by Jan. 1.
In Europe, leaders warned that unemployment could remain high for years, and cut their forecasts for economic growth for this year and 2013. The head of the European Central Bank said not even powerhouse Germany is immune.
The Dow Jones industrial average plummeted as much as 369 points, or 2.8 percent, in the first two hours of trading. It recovered steadily in the afternoon, but slid into the close and ended down 313, its biggest point drop since this time last year.
It was the worst day for stocks this year, but not the worst after an election. That distinction belongs to 2008, when Barack Obama's election victory accelerated the financial crisis. The Dow fell 486 points the next day.
This time, energy companies and bank stocks took some of the biggest losses. Both industries would have faced regulatory relief if Mitt Romney had won the election.
The biggest losers were coal companies, which had hoped that a Romney administration would loosen mine safety and pollution rules that make it more costly for them to operate. Peabody Energy dived 9.6 percent, Consol Energy 6.1 percent, Alpha Natural Resources 12.2 percent and Arch Coal 12.5 percent.
Stocks seen as benefiting from Obama's re-election rose. They included hospitals, suddenly free of the threat that Romney would roll back Obama's highly divisive health care law.
Obama was elected Nov. 4, 2008.
The Dow plunged more than 400 points on each of the next two trading days.
The blue-chip average hit bottom at 6,547 in March 2009, less than two months after Obama took office.
Then it doubled over the next three-plus years as the crisis eased and a fragile economic recovery tried to take root.
On the day after the 28 other presidential elections since 1900, the stock market has gone up 13 times and down 15 times, according to research by Bespoke Investment Group, a market research company.
The best day-after performance was in 1900, another re-election. The Dow jumped more than 3 percent on the day after William McKinley won a second term, according to Bespoke.
Fitch Ratings offered a warning Wednesday about the perils facing the U.S. If Obama does not quickly forge an agreement with Congress to avert the fiscal cliff, the credit rating agency said, it may strip the U.S. of its sterling AAA credit rating.
The government's failure to come up with a plan to reduce the deficit led Standard & Poor's to cut its rating of long-term U.S. Treasury securities last year from a sterling AAA to AA+. It was the first-ever downgrade of U.S. government debt.

I recently found out that Jordan (the country) is spelt ヨルダン, not ジョーダン, which is how it's spelt in a person's name.
Is this based on how it's pronounced in Arabic and/or Hebrew, or how it's pronounced in a European language other than English?
Wikipedia says that Jordan was indeed ジョルダン(・ハシェミット王国) until 2003, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs changed it to ヨルダン(・ハシェミット王国).
Jordan is not pronounced ヨルダン in either Hebrew or Arabic (see Wikipedia for a romanization), but in Hebrew the J is [j] rather than a [dʒ]. Whether the change ジョ > ヨ occurred because J was known as [j] from Hebrew (via the Latin Bible: Iordanis "River Jordan" > ヨルダン川, see Chocolate's comment below; also cf. ユダヤ人 "Jew"), from loanwords from Germanic languages (like Dutch, German, Scandinavian languages) or from all of those together is unclear. What seems to be clear, however, is that the Japanese regarded ヨ to be the more natural choice for the transcription of Jordan into カタカナ, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided to change ジョルダン to ヨルダン, together with 59 other country names and 88 place names. (See this archived newspost from the 朝日新聞). The people of Japan had apparently been complaining that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was spelling country and place names differently from everybody else.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Former Western Kentucky University men's basketball coach Murray Arnold passed away Tuesday, November 14, at the age of 74 in DeLand, Fla., following a battle with cancer.
Arnold coached the Hilltoppers for four seasons (1986-87 through 1989-90), leading WKU to a 71-54 record (56.8%). His 1986-87 club ranks among the great teams in school history, going 29-9 on its way to the program's first Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament, where the Hilltoppers were ousted in the second round by eventual national runner-up Syracuse on the Orangemen's home court. That team was also the runner-up in the pre-season NIT in Madison Square Garden. Three of his players — Tellis Frank (first round), Kannard Johnson (second round) and Clarence Martin (third round) — were NBA Draft picks.
He coached two All-Americans during his days on The Hill — Frank (who was the 1987 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year) and Brett McNeal (1989).
Arnold began his coaching career in 1960 at DeLand (Fla.) High School, where he won a state championship, and then completed his career 40 years later at Stetson. He retired from the coaching ranks in 2000.
He also served head coaching stints at Tennessee-Chattanooga, Birmingham Southern, Okaloosa-Walton Community College in Ft. Walton, Fla., where he won a national championship in 1995, and in the professional ranks in Perth, Australia, where he won an Australian National Basketball League championship in 1992. Overall, he won 244 games as a NCAA Division I college basketball head coach at Chattanooga (six seasons), WKU (four) and Stetson (three). He also enjoyed a very successful eight-year run at NAIA Birmingham Southern before moving on to UTC.
He is survived by his wife, the former Ann Conn Johnson, a native of Russellville, Ky.

Lung cancer is cancer that starts in the lungs.
The lungs are located in the chest. When you breathe, air goes through your nose, down your windpipe (trachea), and into the lungs, where it flows through tubes called bronchi. Most lung cancer begins in the cells that line these tubes.
There are two main types of lung cancer:
If the lung cancer is made up of both types, it is called mixed small cell/large cell cancer.
If the cancer started somewhere else in the body and spreads to the lungs, it is called metastatic cancer to the lung.
Cancer - lung
Lung cancer is the deadliest type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined.
Lung cancer is more common in older adults. It is rare in people under age 45.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the greater your risk of lung cancer. There is no evidence that smoking low-tar cigarettes lowers the risk.
Lung cancer can also affect persons who have never smoked.
Secondhand smoke (breathing the smoke of others) increases your risk of lung cancer.
The following may also increase your risk of lung cancer:
Early lung cancer may not cause any symptoms.
Symptoms depend on the type of cancer you have, but may include:
Other symptoms that may also occur with lung cancer, often in the late stages:
These symptoms can also be due to other, less serious conditions, so it is important to talk to your health care provider.
Lung cancer is often found when an x-ray or CT scan is done for another reason.
If lung cancer is suspected, the doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You will be asked if you smoke, and if so, how much and for how long. You will also be asked about other things that may have put you at risk of lung cancer, such as exposure to certain chemicals.
When listening to the chest with a stethoscope, the doctor may hear fluid around the lungs. This may suggest cancer.
Tests that may be performed to diagnose lung cancer or see if it has spread include:
In some cases, a piece of tissue is removed from your lungs for examination under a microscope. This is called a biopsy. There are several ways to do this:
If the biopsy shows cancer, more imaging tests are done to find out the stage of the cancer. Stage means how big the tumor is and how far it has spread. Staging helps guide treatment and follow-up and gives you an idea of what to expect.
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the type of cancer and how advanced it is:
The above treatments may be done alone or in combination. Your doctor can tell you more about the specific treatment you will receive.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well you do depends on how much the lung cancer has spread.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of lung cancer, particularly if you smoke.
If you smoke, now is the time to quit. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke.

I have found from the internet that I need to know these topics for understanding Artificial Intelligence:
Matrix algebra: most machine learning models are represented as matrices and vectors. Concepts like eigenvectors and singular value decomposition appear all over the place.
Bayesian statistics: probability, Bayes' rule, common distributions (e.g., beta, Dirichlet, Gaussian), etc.
Multivariable calculus: most learning techniques use gradients and Hessians at their core to fit parameters. (If you want to get fancier, study numerical optimization.)
Information theory: entropy, KL divergence, etc. Just the basics here.
In limited cases, higher-level math can be useful. E.g., to understand manifold learning, you'll want to know some basic notions from geometry and topology. Occasionally abstract algebra is used (e.g., see "expectation semirings" for learning on hyper-graphs). I would learn these as-needed, but if you have a chance to learn them early it can't hurt.
Now whenever I want to learn these I got confused with symbols, functions, vectors, sets, subsets, etc. Provided I know only the basic math, how can I learn those? I am confused which things should I learn first and which second.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The man page of
It also acts as a failsafe; if for some reason the normal users and their programs fill up the disk up to 100%, you might not even be able to login and/or sync files before deleting them. By reserving some blocks to
In practice, 5% is an old default and may be too much if your hard drive is big enough. You can change that value using the previously mentioned
The purpose of reserving a small number of blocks for root's use only is to give root a chance to log in and give them a little bit of breathing room to make space in case the disk becomes completely full. Without it, root could be prevented from logging in because the login process fails when it gets unexpected errors writing files (like
Nowadays, of course, even a small percentage of blocks represents way more space than is necessary for this purpose!
Part of the purpose of reserve % is to allow "empty pockets" to exist between files to help prevent fragmentation. Modifying a file later won't necessarily force the file to be broken into fragments because something was parked right at the tail of the file when originally written.
There is also the emergency recovery aspect where root needs to be able to log in and clean things up because something went amiss and filled up the drive (be it user or malconfigured program).
Appropriate reserve percentages depend kind of heavily on the partition's use case. If the partition is an OS disk, then 5-10% reserve for root seems completely reasonable, even for very large partitions. For user-data partitions, there is often no need for any reserve, except maybe to help with preventing fragmentation.

Fallout New Vegas - PlayStation 3 for $9.99
12 Comments add a comment
Completely pointless. Buy the version that already has all of the DLC on the disk. If you don't know if you like the game then rent it or borrow it from someone. If you already know you want the game then skip this version. You'll end up spending more and have to download the DLC, the other version has it all on the disk ready to go.
Strongly disagree with that sentiment. Fallout:NV is plenty of game for $10.
Amazing value here. If you are into RPG/Adventure games, this is good for 100+ hours, without DLC.
@knarf009: that would make sense if the complete version was not much more. I think it is currently 3 to 4 times the price.
Personally, I have a hard time finishing any game due to time constraints, so the basic game is enough for me.
It's a great game, but I have this game both on the xbox 360 and ps3.
Let it be known that it's much more unstable on the ps3 version.
I've had a couple of glitches on the ps3 version where it just freezes, whereas it's only happened once or twice on the xbox version.
Thank You for Your Order
Got: BATMAN-Arkam City in store today for $5
Got this today online delivered for $10
I do NOT game much...but, those two for $15=WINNING! :)
+ Assassins Creed Revelations for $20
@leesjoe3: Agreed, I have the PS3 version and its easily one of the buggiest games I've ever played. That being said, its also one of the best games I've ever played. The experience is worth the issues.
Meh. I'll try... Last time I ordered a bargain of a game from BB, they waited a month then cancelled it and emailed me some store credit. =(
Agreed. This is THE buggiest game I have ever played.
It reduced story lines to mush as my confidence in the game's ability to trigger milestones and thus further the missions/quests died.
As I lost confidence, the game just faded. I couldn't ever be sure that what was happening was meant to be happening, and the overall feel of the game seemed rushed and not like fallout 3 at all.
Story line lacked depth, and I just didn't care about my character.
I'd say it took me roughly 75 percent of the game to really check out, and from that point on I took it quickly to a close rather than seeing it out fully and trying all eventualities. I felt very let down.
I adored fallout 3. It wasn't without it's moments and glitches, but it wasn't game ruining. Both of the originals were classics. This one, however was atrocious. I wouldn't recommend it even as a freebie. My time is worth way too much to me and there's plenty better.
I hope they figure it out for the next one. :(
Fallout 3 was a superb title, even with the glitches. I felt that it was just shallow enough to maintain a passing interest when you want to spend a few hours gaming, however it has the depth to maintain vigorous and intense gaming sessions as well. I waited for the ultimate edition for that title and will do so with Vegas. I always view the glitches as an opportunity to break away! We all get carried away. Happy Hunting.
Great deal...thanks!!!

My World History class is re-enacting World War I and I have been assigned France. I'm looking for countries who allied with France or were potential allies. Please help if you know any good alliances France could, or did make during World War One. I already know Great Britain is a good one, but are there any more? Was there any possibility of France allying with Japan or Italy?
closed as primarily opinion-based by Pieter Geerkens, Marakai, Mark C. Wallace, NSNoob, SMS von der Tann May 30 at 0:52
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I recommend that you do some research into World War I, at least read this Wikipedia article on the subject (note: the section marked "belligerents").
More important than knowing who was who's ally, you need to know why the war started in the first place. Knowing that will give you an understanding of why major powers acted as they did. From the wikipedia article outlined above,
There were two major foreign policy trends in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century; colonialism and ensuring the balance of powers on the European continent. The major powers of Europe (Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary) were motivated by the memory of the chaos caused by Napoleon's conquests in the beginning of the century and the instability caused by Prussian conquest (Prussia was the per-cursor to Germany, the latter formed at the end of the Franco-Prussian war in 1871). They built a network of alliances to ensure that no European country would dare to go to war in Europe for fear of having to face not only one country, but all of that county's allies as well. The two allied blocks managed to keep Europe peaceful for almost a century managing a balance of power until the events mentioned above.
While Europe remained of limits to expansion for those major powers, much of the world was open for exploitation. Much of the conflict between European nations was restricted to competing over territories in Africa, Asia, and the Americas instead of fighting for the more difficult to acquire land and resources of Europe. Thus, when the massive network of alliances failed to prevent a European war, not only was the war fought in Europe, but amongst the colonies of the major European powers as well. This is why World War I is considered by many to be the first truly international war.
Look into the major powers above, for more on Italy read this. Look up the "Triple Entente" and the "Triple Alliance". Those were the two major blocks of alliances which were supposed to keep a European war from happening.
Also, on the role of the United States and Japan. The US spent most of the war trying to stay out of the European conflict. The US public was not willing to go to war in Europe, and it wasn't until this event that the US started to change their mind on the issue. I would look into that and the German reaction to said event to learn more about whether America would be a potential ally in your re-enactment.
Japan was also cut off from most of the conflict geographically speaking. However, the Japanese used the war much like they would the next world war, as an excuse to expand their territorial holdings at the expense of another major power. Look here for more information.
It sounds like this is a game others are participating in, so I'd say a lot depends on how the other alliances are shaking out. What you have to look at is what each country wants and what it is (or would be if things work out) in the power of your country to give.
In the case of Japan, what they wanted in 1914 was a bigger role (empire) in east Asia. That means they'd like one or more of the following (in rough order of Japan's 1914 priorities):
Number 1 frankly anybody could offer. However, Russia had interest in the same area.
Number 2 implies both would have to be at war with Russia.
France could certianly offer some of Number 3, no matter how the alliances end up shaking out. However, their opponents could as well (particularly French Indochina). Also, #3 would be quite difficult for Japan to pull off if the British navy was opposed to the idea (which is why Japan and England had a naval alliance at the time). So to make #3 viable, France and Japan would probably have to be also allied with England, and going up against Germany and the Netherlands or against the USA (Phillipines).
So most likely an alliance with Japan would require (and be most useful) in a situation where Russia is on the other side. In a pinch, you could convince them to go for the southern expansion option, but in that case it would only be feasible if Germany and the Netherlands are on the other side, or the USA is on the other side.
Short answer: Quite likely. That's demonstrated by the fact that France was actually allied with both Italy and Japan in World War I.
France and Italy made common cause against Austria in the 19th century. France is also a traditional enemy of Germany's, and Italy has few common interests with Germany (Italy defected from the Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria and joined the Allies in World War I.) So a French-Italian alliance is certainly plausible, even in a game.
France and Japan is a little iffier because of the distance between the two countries. But here, they had a common enemy in Germany in World War I, when Japan attacked and took German-occupied Tsingtao (actually a part of China). Japan and France also shared an alliance with Britain, and could therefore have been direct allies as well. In a game scenario, France and Japan might find themselves with "second rank" navies making common cause against Britain's first rank naval power.

The TiVo Bolt makes a strong claim to the throne as king of DVRs and streaming media, but those pesky TiVo service fees keep it short of perfection.
Pricing not available
With 10 hot-swappable hard drives capable of storing 26,000 hours of shows, the rack-mountable Mega is a dream TV recorder for custom home-theater installs.
Pricing not available
The TiVo Roamio is hands-down the best DVR for recording over-the-air TV, but its excellence comes at a great cost.
The TiVo Mini is an easy way to give another TV in your home access to your TiVo DVR, live TV and streaming services. But if you're not in a hurry, you may want to wait till more features and services arrive.
Pricing not available
TiVo Roamio OTA is an excellent DVR, but its monthly fee structure makes it too expensive for people cutting the cable cord. The standard TiVo Roamio is a better choice overall for cord cutters.
For TiVo Premiere owners with iOS devices, the TiVo Stream is a cool addition to your AV setup and mobile life.
If you're willing to pay the premium price, TiVo's do-it-all Roamio is the best cable DVR yet and an able whole-home TV solution.
The Premiere 4 has all the features of the XL4, but with a quarter of its storage space.
The TiVo Premiere Elite might be a luxury, but it's definitely a luxury worth paying for.

Charlotte, N.C. -- Charlotte 49ers head football coach Brad Lambert has announced the signing of 6-2; 240 lb junior college transfer Caleb Clayton-Molby (Panama City Beach, Fla.) out of Georgia Military College in Milledgeville, Ga.
Clayton-Molby, a linebacker and fullback, will be looked at as a H-Back and Inside Linebacker for the 49ers.
"Caleb really answers a couple questions for us," Lambert said. "First is age. We're looking for some older guys in this class to add some age to our team. He also brings alot of versatility. We're recruiting him as an H-back but we know he can play either side of the ball. What attracted us to him is his athleticism and that versatility that we've really looked for. On top of that is his ability to get here in January and get an early start in being a part of our program."
Originally from Kansas, Clayton-Molby finished up his high school career at Arnold High School in Panama City, Fla. He had 123 tackles and two sacks as a senior there.
At Georgia Military College, Clayton-Molby was second on the team with 49 tackles with four sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception.
The Charlotte 49ers will compete in their inaugural season in 2013. They completed their first season of fall workouts in November. To purchase Football Seat Licenses (FSLs), fans can contact the 49ers Ticket Office or Athletic Foundation at 704-687-4949 or 704-687-4950.
