ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Neffs Fire Department has approached both the Village of Bellaire and Pultney Township Trustees about the possible formation of a joint-fire district with the intention of contracting with Neffs FD for fire service.
Fire Chief John Driscoll approached Bellaire council early in February and has also met with the trustees and invited all groups out to the fire station in Neffs for further discussion.
Councilmen Jim Piatt and Jim Williams from Bellaire volunteered to be on the exploratory committee. Frank Shaffer is doing so for the trustees.
However, the trustees had some additional questions and Shaffer, along with fellow trustees Mark Cervelli and James Tekelly took those to a meeting with Belmont County Prosecutor Chris Berhalter last week.
"You can include any and all of the township area that is mutually agreed upon," Berhalter stated. "It doesn't have to be the entire township. However, if part of it doesn't join then you are still responsible for fire protection for the part that is not included in the fire district."
That issue came up because Shaffer told Berhalter that he's already been in talks with Spirit of 76 Fire Department and its members want no part of the district.
Should the district be created, the people covered primarily by Spirit of 76 will not be part of the district and those residents will pay on the levy that currently goes to support 76.
The remaining residents of the township, along with Bellaire itself, will pay for a new levy that supports the fire district.
That amount hasn't been calculated yet as the proposed district's fire board, fiscal officer and solicitor have yet to be picked.
"The residents will pay for the levy for the district that they are in, whether the new joint district of 76," Berhalter said.
A major issue appears to be brimming in terms of who would and wouldn't vote for the district. The Belmont County Board of Elections Director Bill Shubat informed the trustees that his office would need an updated list of residents to be included should it come up to a vote.
Berhalter suggested the easiest thing to do would be split the township on precinct lines in terms of who would be covered by Neffs or Spirit of 76.
Cervelli noted that will be a problem as the coverage map for the two departments overlaps precinct lines.
"The precincts are split and there could be a big conflict," Cervelli admitted.
Berhalter also told the trustees about different options they'd have should they form a fire district.
Naturally, the idea is that Neffs will handle fire calls for the joint district.
However, as Berhalter explained, the district doesn't have to contract with Neffs. It could, theoretically, purchase its own equipment, buy, lease or construct a fire station and hire its own employees.
Of course, doing that would likely require a much larger levy total given the additional start-up costs needed.
Nothing is set in stone yet, not even the fire board and the trustees admitted they have their reservations and need more information.

A starting point
Can anyone point me how to include de Ext.io source into my ST2 app?
I've been looking for how to do this, but there's no information.
Do I have to include the "deploy" dir into src directory? Or create a new src directory merging all the files?
I?ve the loader like this:
PHP Code:
Ext.Loader.setPath({ 'Ext': 'sdk/src', 'Ext.io': 'sdk/io/src'});
Also when I include in my app.json the file "sencha-io-debug.js" I get this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Batch' of undefined
(sencha-io-debug.js line 2)
23 Mar 2012 12:06 AM #2
The last IO-Release from November 2011 only works with an older ST 2.0 RC which has many bugs regarding localstore.
At this point of time it makes no sense to use or try Sencha.io until the next release comes out.

HPI companies in a progressive culture strive for failure-free operations with defect elimination and uninterrupted operation.
Reliability and maintenance (RAM) are being leveraged
worldwide as competitive advantages in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI).
Yet, most manufacturing operations continue to struggle with
unreliability and subsequently high maintenance costs. The
change in the global business environment has driven RAM
performance to new levels, surpassing benchmarks that have been
quoted for decades.
A leading performance improvement company for the global
energy industry has collected and analyzed more than 30 years
of performance data through its International Study of Plant Reliability and Maintenance
Effectiveness (RAM Study).1 The data shows that
there are two distinct cultures in the RAM
communitytraditional and progressive.
The traditional culture believes that failures are
inevitable. Companies operating in a traditional culture view
equipment failure as normal, and they behave passively as if
they have no influence over the outcome. In contrast, companies
operating in a progressive culture strive for failure-free
operations; everyone is focused on defect elimination and
uninterrupted operation.
The focus in a traditional manufacturing environment has been on driving maintenance costs down. Rather than
eliminating the root cause of these costs, traditionalists
focus on optimizing their reactive environment, as shown in
Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. RAM
optimization with corresponding
maintenance costs.
Companies operating in this mode are plagued by perpetual
equipment failures, and constantly changing priorities and
maintenance schedules. Although there is a focus on driving
down maintenance expenses, these costs are primarily determined
by the volume of maintenance work, which is largely
Best performers in this environment have maintenance costs
that approach 2% of the plant replacement value (PRV). While
this figure was quoted for decades as world class, at best, it
is average performance in the present global environment.
Traditional maintenance cultures suffer from frequent
production interruptions, subsequent production limitations,
excessive offspec product generation, and, ultimately,
unsustainable margins that can quickly turn into operating
losses. Result: Capital replacement costs are
considerably higher, thus further eroding company profits.
The consequences of continuing to operate in a traditional
maintenance environment are many. A larger maintenance
organization must deal with excessive equipment repairs and
replacements that come with a larger workforce and higher
number of failures. Total direct costs in the form of craft
labor and repair materials are significantly higher in this
environment. The loss of valuable production capacity is often
overlooked in the traditional maintenance culture, where all
eyes are focused on maintenance costs.
The old adage penny wise and pound foolish is
applicable here. While trying to minimize maintenance costs
(penny wise), untold profits are lost (pound foolish) due to
maintenance-related downtime. Additionally, traditional
maintenance organizations lack discipline relative to
controlling turnaround scope. Everything imaginable gets loaded
into the turnaround, so their durations are longer even though
they occur more frequently.
The focus in the progressive manufacturing environment is on
driving up reliability. Progressives recognize that the root
cause of maintenance cost is equipment failure; consequently,
these companies focus on defect elimination.
Although these companies also streamline maintenance work
processes to optimize efficiency, they are not distracted by
continuous equipment failures. Such groups know that each 1%
increase in mechanical availability results in a 10% reduction
in maintenance cost.
The best performers have maintenance costs approaching 1% of
PRV. And mechanical availability in progressive maintenance environments is 97% or higher, with
the best performers approaching 99%, which includes annualized
downtime for turnarounds, as shown in Fig.
Fig. 2. Pathway to
improving maintenance and
reliability at HPI facilities.
The most significant benefit of a progressive culture is the
reduction in maintenance-related downtime caused largely by
corrective maintenance due to unplanned equipment failures.
Total maintenance downtime is also influenced by planned
downtime, such as turnarounds, as shown in Fig.
Fig. 3. Best
performers vs. others in planned
and unplanned maintenance activities
recorded downtime (equipment
Progressive maintenance organizations have reduced the
frequency of turnarounds to an average of five to seven years,
in comparison to traditional maintenance organizations that do
so every year. Progressive organizations have also controlled
the duration of their turnarounds by limiting the turnaround
scope to work that can only be done during a turnaround.
The type of maintenance work performed by traditional
organizations is reactive in nature; something is broken, and
it must be repaired or replaced. By contrast, the majority of
work in a progressive environment is proactive, continuously
monitoring the condition of critical equipment so problems can
be resolved prior to failure. If you viewed the entire spectrum
of maintenance behaviors from totally reactive to totally
proactive, you would find a bell-shaped curve with a long tail
on the right side, representing the large number of traditional
maintenance organizations in transition, as shown in
Fig. 4. On the left side of Fig.
4, the curve is rather steep, as there is a limit as
to how good you can be. Every manufacturing site is somewhere
on that continuum, with most moving incrementally in the
proactive direction. Those at the far end of the reactive side
of the curve continue to shut down, as their operation is no
longer competitive, and it cannot be sustained.
Fig. 4. RAM
performance distribution.
Traditional maintenance organizations are largely risk
averse; fear of change drives their behavior. Progressive
maintenance organizations are constantly working to improve,
and do not accept the status quo. As a result, progressive
maintenance organizations continue to improve, while
traditional maintenance organizations fall further behind.
Manufacturing organizations are most vulnerable when shutting
down or starting up equipment. Being able to operate in
steady-state conditions within a progressive maintenance
culture enables companies to minimize exposure and subsequent
World-class manufacturers achieve high reliability at lower
cost. These companies recognize the value of reliable
operations and focus on failure elimination. These best
performers build reliability into their corporate strategy and
compete effectively in the global marketplace.
From an operational perspective, a progressive maintenance
culture offers numerous advantages. The reduction in downtime
achieved through the increase in equipment reliability provides
additional (spare) capacity. Companies with this advantage
enjoy greater margins on their products as maintenance costs
are distributed across greater production.
In addition, superior product quality can be achieved and
sustained through uninterrupted operations, leading to a net
result of increased revenue and greater profitability. The
detrimental effects of operating in a traditional maintenance
culture can make the difference between staying in business and
being forced out. Because the majority of the competition
continues to suffer from reactive maintenance, progressive
organizations can afford to ship their products anywhere in the
world and undercut local producers.
However, the world is changing and becoming more dynamic.
While initial indications revealed that progressive
organizations were more likely found in developing regions,
established manufacturers are beginning to embrace reliability.
Soon, no one will be immune to global pressures. It takes years
to transition from a traditional maintenance environment to a progressive one.
Every day you delay puts your operation more at risk. The path
to world-class RAM performance begins with the first step. What
are you waiting for? HP

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Lori Barr calls the 15 years she spent battling migraines a struggle.
Barr says she'd spend four or five days a week, all day, wanting to sleep or just sit in a dark, quiet room. The pain made it difficult to go to her children's games, play with them outdoors or do chores around the house.
Barr tried several medications, even massage therapy. Nothing helped until she heard about a new wrinkle in migraine treatment - botox.
Dr. Babak Marefat explains that a migraine is, essentially, a cramping of a small collection of vessels. The botox works to paralyze the muscles around the vessels, thereby reducing the cramping and reducing the chance for a headache.
Marefat has offered the treatment for about a year now at Topeka's Cotton-O'Neil Clinic. It's approved for people who suffer 15 or more migraine headache days a month, lasting at least four hours a day.
Marefat says treatment involves a series of 31 total injections, placed along the forehead, the side of the head, the base of the skull and both sides of the neck. In most people, it reduces the frequency or intensity of the headaches and, in some, it eliminates the headaches altogether.
Barr had her first treatment in April. She says she had one migraine right afterward, but has been pain free - and medication free - since. Barr says she and her family are now on the go more often, not worried about whether a headache might crop up and ruin the next soccer match or dance recital.
Treatments can be repeated no more frequently than every three months, but Marefat says they've been shown to be effective for that amount of time in most people. Botox may not be effective in people whose migraines develop in deeper blood vessels or vessels on the inside of the skull.

Private Eye: Who sees you naked?
We asked Keira Knightley, Kim Kardashian, Emanuelle Chiriqui, and more.
For many, the answer is the people who make them look good. Elizabeth Reaser of The Twilight Saga: New Moon changed in front of her male hair and makeup team. "They said they were gay," she said. "I hope they were gay." Others have disrobed in front of fellow celebrities. When she was performing in a benefit play, Eva Mendes undressed next to Jennifer Aniston and Brooke Shields. Model Tyson Beckford stripped for Naomi Campbell: "We were naked on an early ad campaign. Granted, she was late for the shoot, and I was standing there naked, but that's Naomi for you."

Historically speaking, the BCS system, which stands for Bowl Championship Series, evolved as an answer to the problem of how to best determine a consensus national champion. At this time, there were only the final AP and UPI polls, in which selected media members and coaches named their own top-ranked teams respectively. In years where both polls named the same number one team, that team was viewed as the unofficial national champion. In years where the polls named two different teams, a "split national championship" was the result. Still, there was often the problem that the two best teams could not play each other at the end of the season due to the obligations of conferences to specific bowls. Attempts to remedy the situation began in 1992 with the Bowl Coalition, later reformed into the Bowl Alliance. In both cases, however, the non–participation of the Rose Bowl meant that the Big Ten and Pac Ten winners were not eligible for the national championship game. The problem was finally fixed in 1998 when the Rose Bowl entered into the BCS agreement. Purchasers of

Washington, DC--Children's National Health System praised the new Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Sports-Related Concussions in Youth, which urges a number of steps to fill existing knowledge gaps and to change the culture of youth sports regarding concussions. The report notes a rise in reported sports concussions in youth, perhaps due to greater awareness. It also notes the lack of comprehensive data on the incidence, diagnosis, management, and long-term health effects of sports-related concussions in youth.
The report was developed by an expert committee that included Joseph Wright, MD, MPH, Senior Vice President of the The Child Health Advocacy Institute and an Emergency Medicine and Trauma Services physician at Children's National.
The authors say they "came to have a growing appreciation for the role of 'culture' in the current recognition and management of concussions in young athletes"—one that "can cause athletes to feel that they should jeopardize their own individual health as a sign of commitment to their teams."
Children's National concussion and emergency medicine experts recommend that coaches, parents, young athletes, athletic associations, school nurses, and other medical professionals work together to improve recognition of concussions and to change the current culture of "playing through" a brain injury. They advise that children and teens take their time before returning to contact sports after a concussion.
The IOM report urges college and high school athletic associations to help address the cultural issues that actively or implicitly encourage young athletes to continue playing after a concussion.
"To ensure that athletes younger than high school age are protected, I would also encourage the National Governing Bodies of Youth Sports to take active steps to develop, implement, and evaluate efforts to increase knowledge about concussions and to help change the rules and culture of youth sports," said Gerard Gioia, PhD, Neuropsychology Division Chief and Director of the Safe Concussion Outcome Recovery & Education (SCORE) Program at Children's National, who provided expert testimony to the IOM committee's deliberations. "Taking brain injuries seriously in young athletes can help prevent more serious injuries or complications, so they can continue to participate in sports and to have long, healthy lives."
The Children's National SCORE Program provides extensive education and training to parents, coaches, schools, athletic organizations and healthcare providers to better recognize signs of concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries, to coordinate and monitor treatment and to share safety information. The program offers smart phone apps to help youth coaches, parents, and healthcare professionals recognize and respond to concussions.
Children's National Health System, based in Washington, DC, has been serving the nation's children since 1870. Children's National is a Leapfrog Group Top Hospital, Magnet® designated, and was ranked among the top 10 pediatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report 2015-16. Home to the Children's Research Institute and the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, Children's National is one of the nation's top NIH-funded pediatric institutions. With a community-based pediatric network, seven regional outpatient centers, an ambulatory surgery center, two emergency rooms, an acute care hospital, and collaborations throughout the region, Children's National is recognized for its expertise and innovation in pediatric care and as an advocate for all children.

The term mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) is used interchangeably with the term concussion.
In a compelling study, Children's National Health System researchers found that as many as 88 percent of high school, middle school, and elementary school students who sustained concussions, had academic problems within four weeks of sustaining the injury.
Neuropsychologist Gerard Gioia, PhD, spoke with the New York Times about a recent study on limiting rest after concussions.
According to new research, children who have had concussions should step up their activity days after injury because excessive rest itself may compromise recovery and "do more harm than good."

Last night was kind of a scary night at our house.
I'll start by telling you that my husband has always had a bit of a "fire" paranoia. When we were first married, he would be doing the laundry (yes… he does the laundry…I consider myself to be very lucky!) and he would have to check the dryer every 10 minutes because he'd be nervous about fire. One time I wanted to leave a light on for our dog while we were out for the evening and he would have nothing of it. What if the house caught on fire while we were gone because of that one light bulb being on?
So, it came to a bit of a surprise to me when he decided, after we borrowed all of our friends fryers for the Shrimp Boil we hosted this summer, that he wanted a turkey fryer. We all know about the horror stories with turkey fryers and house fires. My husband wanting a turkey fryer was a step to fire paranoia recovery.
The timing couldn't be more perfect when a rep for the Masterbuilt Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer contacted us to see if we'd like to test one of their turkey fryers as well as give one to a lucky Dine & Dish reader. Even more exciting was the fact that the Masterbuilt Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer is one of the only turkey fryers with a CSA certification and a design that meets Underwriters Laboratories Inc. standards.
Even with that glowing endorsement, we still sent our kids away from the kitchen, had a fire extinguisher at hand, and nervously watched over our fryer as it cooked our Butterball turkey. About half way through the cooking process, I looked at my husband and said "You realize, if the fryer hasn't exploded by now, it probably isn't going to explode!"
We've conquered our turkey frying fear and now feel like we could do it again and again without any trepidation at all. And, we can't wait to do it again and again because this was one moist, delicious and amazing tasting bird!

Elucidating the structure and sequence of proteins is an important task in understanding the biological properties of a protein and its potential as a therapeutic target. Producing a well-ordered crystal, particularly for proteins, which can be studied through crystallography, however, is not an easy task. Recent research involves examining the effects of microgravity on protein crystallization and a computational model for protein elucidation.
Protein crystallization and microgravity effects
The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), manager of the International Space Station (ISS) US National Laboratory, is collaborating with Merck & Co. to conduct research on protein crystallization on board the ISS in 2013. The research will examine the effect on protein crystallization using microgravity.In July, CASIS announced its first request for proposals (RFP) focused on advancing protein crystallization using microgravity. Additionally, in early September 2012, CASIS announced an RFP focused on materials testing in the extreme environment of space. Proposals for this RFP will be accepted until Oct. 24, 2012. The final agreement with Merck is dependent on approval by CASIS' evaluation and prioritization process, a requirement for all ISS projects. If approved, the research will begin in mid-2013.
"We at Merck are excited to work with CASIS and explore the microgravity effects on several bioprocessing applications within the unique environment of the ISS National Lab," said Paul Reichert, chemistry research fellow at Merck Research Laboratories, in a September CASIS press release.
CASIS is the nonprofit organization promoting and managing research on board the ISS US National Laboratory, which includes a solicitation for proposals in relation to advancing protein crystallization using microgravity. The RFP seeks to identify projects within the field of crystallography that CASIS will support through grant funding, facilitation of service provider partnerships, and flight coordination to and from the ISS. Crystallography is the technique used to determine the three-dimensional structures of protein molecules. Protein crystallization, when performed in space, may produce large, better-organized crystals, thereby allowing for more focused drug development. CASIS believes that its RFP will lead to the production of better crystals in the microgravity environment than can be grown on Earth.
"CASIS has evaluated research performed to date in the life sciences and believes it is time to formally test the promising hypothesis that microgravity may produce greater internal order in protein-crystal growth," said CASIS acting Chief Scientist Timothy Yeatman, in a June 26, 2012, CASIS press release. "This could potentially lead to sharper resolution of crystals and their cognate proteins, which could produce more effective drugs for cancer and other debilitating human diseases."
In 2005, the US Congress designated the US portion of the ISS as the nation's newest national laboratory to maximize its use for improving life on Earth, promoting collaboration among diverse users, and advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. The laboratory environment is available for use by other US government agencies and by academic and private institutions to provide access to the permanent microgravity setting, vantage point in low-earth orbit, and varied environments of space.

CHARLESTON - U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore-Capito announced Monday she will seek the Senate seat presently held by Jay Rockefeller in 2014.
Capito, a Republican from Charleston- who also celebrated her 59th birthday Monday - just won re-election to a seventh two-year term in the House on Nov. 6 after receiving nearly 70 percent of the vote over Democratic challenger Howard Stint. House members won't be sworn in until the first day of the 113th Congress, tentatively set for Jan. 3.
Capito announced her Senate candidacy before supporters at the West Virginia State Capitol building in Charleston on Monday. Her early entry into the 2014 campaign comes as members of Congress gather in Washington this week for a lame duck session and work toward finding a solution to the "fiscal cliff" economic problems facing the nation.
"We are experiencing changing leadership in our state, resulting in a greater political balance between parties," she said. "The change will be good for West Virginia. The voters, however, are fatigued. They have grown tired of the constant campaigning and want us to govern.
"I agree that it is time to focus on governing," she continued. "For this reason, I have decided to make my political intentions for 2014 known now so that I can get back to work in Washington and avoid disruptive political speculation. It will also hopefully provide clarity and time for others to make decisions."
She did not immediately return calls seeking additional comment Monday.
A Democrat, the 75-year-old Rockefeller has represented West Virginia in the Senate since 1985. He has not yet indicated whether he will seek re-election to a sixth term in the Senate in 2014.
On Monday, Rockefeller released a statement saying "politics can wait" and noting he would remain focused on working to solve the nation's financial issues.
Robert Rupp, professor of history at West Virginia Wesleyan University, said the 2014 Senate race would be the third contested race for a U.S. Senate seat in West Virginia since Sen. Robert C. Byrd's death in 2010. Rupp added that it didn't surprise him that Capito will seek the Senate seat in 2014.
"She is the most formidable candidate in a generation," he said. "She has had successful campaigns in the 2nd District - and she has never lost a campaign. ... The only question is will Rockefeller declare for a sixth term or wait?"
Rupp noted that presidential second terms typically don't have good results for the party that holds power, and he believes the second term of Barack Obama's presidency could negatively impact the potential re-election campaigns of Democrats such as Rockefeller.
Obama received just 35 percent of the vote in West Virginia in the Nov. 6 election.
U.S. Rep. David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, indicated he thought it too early for Capito - his GOP colleague - to make a campaign announcement.
"West Virginians endured a long, bitter 2012 election cycle, and with nearly two years to go it's too early to be worrying about the next campaign," he said. "We're focused on serving the people of the 1st District and doing the job they sent me here to do."
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., was elected to his first full six-year term in the Senate this month.
"I support Sen. Jay Rockefeller," Manchin said. "Jay has been a good friend, and no one could have been more helpful to me when I came to the Senate than Jay and his staff. Jay is a truly committed public servant who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of hard-working West Virginia families."
Elgine McArdle, chairwoman of the Ohio County Republican Party, said Capito would do a great job as senator.
"Without a doubt, I think she will win," McArdle said. "I know she will have the support of at least the 2nd Congressional District. ... Of course that leaves a void we will have to fill."
West Virginia GOP Chairman Conrad Lucas said Capito's announcement Monday was a "real jolt of energy for the party."
"She wanted to lay it all on the table - no more guessing, and no more questions so if anyone else was interested they were aware of the playing field," he said.
He acknowledged keeping Capito's 2nd District seat will be a priority for state Republicans.
"The 2nd District is Republican-friendly already, and Shelley has represented it well," Lucas said. "Congresswoman Capito is a strong leader. If Sen. Rockefeller decides to run, it will be another opportunity for West Virginians to reject the policies of Barack Obama."

There comes a price with being NASCAR's most popular driver and most successful car owner. The pressure.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. felt it after joining powerful Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. Owner Rick Hendrick felt it after adding Earnhardt to a shop that already included Sprint Cup champions Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.
Not until Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 last Sunday — just his third win in 215 starts for Hendrick — did they feel the pressure was lifted.
"Dale had a lot of options when he was going to make a change . . . he wanted to come with us. I wanted him to come with us," Hendrick said. "It was a lot of pressure, an awful lot of pressure, an awful lot of high expectations. We didn't have the success that we thought we'd have.
"But we never gave up. I was as determined as ever. I told him that we would get it right, and we would do what we set out to do, and we were not going to stop. I felt like I let him down. He felt like he let me down. But we locked arms and said, 'We're going to figure it out."'
Earnhardt, NASCAR's most popular driver for the past 11 years, carried the burden of not only living up to the expectations of a team that has won 11 Sprint Cup championships in the past 19 years, but he also bore the weight of being the face of his sport.
"It's not a weight when you're able to deliver," Earnhardt said. "It's a weight when you're not able to deliver. When people say you're the face of the sport, and you're running fifth or 10th every week, it's very challenging because you want to deliver and you're not delivering.
"This win brings me a lot of joy. . . . I know I got a lot of fans that are really happy, really enjoyed what we did."
Though Earnhardt projects a happy-go-lucky image off the track, the inability to win during the past few years ate at him.
"People underestimated how much I care about performance," said Earnhardt, who owns 20 career Cup wins. "I don't think people realized how much winning mattered to me. When you look at the critics and you look at their comments, aside from people saying I was overrated, they would always say I didn't have killer instinct, I didn't have the stuff that I needed to drive to win a championship, I didn't want it bad enough.
"When people pick at your determination, your drive, your hunger, that bothered me more than anything else did, because I grew up around the sport and I love it to death. I would do anything for NASCAR. I'd do anything for the health of the sport. I'd sacrifice anything for it."
Earnhardt's second career Daytona 500 win may have given NASCAR a huge season-opening boost. Despite the six-hour rain delay and going against Winter Olympics coverage on NBC in primetime, the Daytona 500 peaked with a 6.7 rating and had 10.9 million viewers watching as Earnhardt outran former Cup champions Brad Keselowski and Gordon to the checkered flag.
"I think we turned on a lot of people on Sunday," said Earnhardt, who made appearances on the David Letterman show and at ESPN before heading for this week's race at Phoenix by way of Hollywood. "I heard people tell me they're fans now. Never watched a race. Now they're a NASCAR fan."
Earnhardt compared the impact of his win to the memorable 1979 Daytona 500, which was highlighted by a postrace brawl between Cale Yarbrough and Bobby and Donnie Allison.
"It had kind of that feel, that '79 Daytona that was first, live flag-to-flag broadcast that really turned the world on to what we were doing through network television," Earnhardt said.
"My race might not have had that kind of impact, but it's comparable.
"This race was destined to be that way. NASCAR made some changes to try to kick-start some energy and boost awareness and excitement in what our series can do. I think we got a great start to the year, for sure."
It wouldn't be surprising if Earnhardt made it two in a row this Sunday at Phoenix. Earnhardt posted back-to-back wins at Phoenix in 2003 and 2004 when only one Sprint Cup race was held there at the time. And he finished fifth fourth in the two races at Phoenix in 2013.

On my 2007 A6 the reversing lights are very feeble, enough to make it quite difficult to reverse in my own driveway in the dark. I understand that I can't simply use higher-wattage bulbs or LED replacements because of the car's fault detection system. My local dealer says that nothing can be done; he may be right, but it's a little difficult to believe. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I checked the Bosch,Phillips and Sylvania websites they all list highoutput or premium lamps. I can't give you a specif reccomendation because they list many options depending on which country you are in and what it came with stock. The lamps you have may already be the brightest available. I would check these sites, input the information and compare them to the bulb you have. The performance lamps may not be readible available at the local autostore but they should be able to order them. Also be aware that the added light comes at the cost of shorter bulb life.
Slightly alternative solution-
Use PIR lights along your drive so that you get the drive lit up from outside, rather than from your car lights.

Dakota Wesleyan University took time Thursday to honor and recognize employees for their years of service, their credit to the university and to say farewell to those moving on to the next phase in their lives.
During the employee recognition breakfast, DWU awarded Professional Excellence Awards for spring; the winners are Karen Knoell, university registrar, and Dan Miller, associate professor of communication and theatre director.
Knoell, winner of the Professional Excellence Award for staff, was described in her nomination letter as dedicated and dependable, willing to work extended hours and volunteer for committees.
"She is very much respected by faculty and staff which is so important to holding the role she does," states the nomination. "Karen is thoughtful, detailed, and prompt in her work. She allows the academic registration process to flow smoothly, with solid planning and wonderful problem-solving abilities."
Knoell has also taken on the responsibility as co-chairman of the program prioritization committee on campus, which includes reading and assessing reports from every program and department on campus.
"Weekly meetings and nightly reading have become the norm for her this year as she remains dedicated to meaningful outcomes of the process. It takes a dedicated, respected and unbiased approach to carry out such a charge. She has put in many hours to ultimately help the university's mission."
Miller, winner of the Professional Excellence Award for faculty, has brought musical theatre back to campus with huge productions like "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and this year's "Les Miserables." In fact, for "Les Mis," Miller dedicated his entire spring break to building the set in the Sherman Center, with the help of several students. He is also responsible for creating a Bachelor of Fine Arts program, making DWU the only private school in the state to offer a B.F.A.
"Dan has cultivated a loyal and able cadre of students who do incredible work both on and off the stage," stated his nomination. "Many of these students, often without being enrolled for credit, are involved in multiple productions over their careers, showing incredible growth, and demonstrating amazing dedication and a willingness to sacrifice by fulfilling multiple duties, often in the more unsung aspects of theatre.
"Even for students who are not majors, theatre provides students with incredibly valuable experiences in taking personal risks, gaining confidence and leadership skills, appreciating the value of being part of a larger team with well-defined roles in which you must learn to depend on each other, … Dan does an excellent job in bringing these aspects to the forefront of students' minds, and mentoring students both on and off the stage to achieve excellence."
Other Professional Excellence Award winners this year were: Monty Bohrer, associate business professor and director business, and Dan Bonte, assistant director of admissions, for the summer term; and Diane Sandhoff, dean of the Donna Starr Christen College of Healthcare, Fitness and Sciences, and Malik Stewart, talent adviser, for the fall term.
The Presidential Award for Outstanding Service was awarded to Leah Rado, sports information director.
"Behind the success of Dakota Wesleyan University this past year have been countless individuals whose commitment to excellence makes the stories of our students possible. However, few are probably aware of the many hours behind the scenes of one individual. Well beyond midnight and on most weekends, Leah Rado is writing press releases, figuring the stats sheets, submitting reports to the GPAC – all in an effort to tell the compelling story of accomplishment by not just our athletic teams, but the story of our student athletes," said DWU President Amy Novak when presenting the award.
Rado balances multiple work duties for the athletic department as well finding time to chaperone three past DWU mission trips in and out of country.
"Today, we recognize Leah Rado as a true servant leader of Wesleyan; why? Because, each and every day, Leah puts everyone else's story above her own," Novak said. "Today we recognize her for just that – serving so that others may shine – serving that so others may know the compelling story of DWU athletics, and serving with a level of excellence that is the envy of the GPAC."
Service Awards
Length of service awards were also presented to the following employees: five years: Mark Halling, assistant professor of education, administrative chair; Curt Hart, athletic director; Carol Lazenby, comptroller; Joan Lubben, assistant professor of math; Terry Lundeen, director of residence life; Mari Olson, public relations specialist; Brian Patrick, assistant professor of biology; Wim Rosendahl, systems administrator and programmer; Mark Steichen, biology instructor; and Jeremy Tosaya, head men's soccer coach.
The following were recognized for 10 years: Elwin Hohn, McGovern Library custodian; John Husmann, associate history professor; Amy Novak, university president; Cherie Ramsdell, assistant professor of graphic design; and Cara Weise, enrollment services administrative assistant.
The following were recognized for 15 years: Lori Essig, vice president for university relations; Sean Flynn, history professor; and Donna Gerlach, campus nurse.
The following were recognized for 20 years: Missy Herr-Valburg, director of admissions; and Lori Solberg, bookstore manager.
The following were recognized for 25 years: Linda Hofer, day care director; Judy Lehi, circulation, acquisitions supervisor; Tim Mullican, biology professor; and Diane Sandhoff, nursing professor, director of the R.N. program and dean of the Donna Starr Christen College of Healthcare, Fitness and Sciences.
The following employee was recognized for 30 years: Wyonne Kaemingk, nursing A.A. program director.
The following employee was recognized for 35 years: Michael Farney, mathematics professor and department chairman.
Two DWU employees announced their retirement, Adele Jacobson and Nancy Sonne.
Jacobson, a professor in the nursing department, has worked for Dakota Wesleyan since 2005. Jacobson retires from the position as administrative chairman of the Arlene Gates Department of Nursing.
Sonne, an assistant professor of nursing at DWU, has worked for the university since 2002.
Kim Mohr, assistant professor of nursing at DWU, worked with Jacobson and Sonne for the past seven years.
"Both of these women have been servants for DWU," Mohr said when asked to share a memory of her coworkers. "To make a great life, one must think about how you make the most of the time spent 'in between'; where you were and where you are going. These small details are really what has made both Nancy and Adele great people and coworkers. I so appreciated the personal cards of encouragement and recognition from Adele. I also received many emails and hugs from Nancy of the same sort, since we weren't on the same campus. They are in service to others, which is truly what we are all about.
"Adele has been an extremely hardworking, committed leader who led by example and showed her commitment to DWU nursing every day," Mohr continued. "She has a great way of encouraging others and is committed to excellence every day. Nancy has been a quiet leader in our faculty who I consider to be a mentor and friend, encourager, great team player, and committed to the success of each and every one of her students. She is one of the kindest and most sincere people I know, but also has a balance where she will stay true to her values and speak her opinion when asked. That is why I respect her so much.
"There is a saying that you become great by helping others become great and that is so true with both of these women."
Campus pastor Brandon Vetter isn't retiring, but he is stepping down from his position at DWU this summer to lead the Fusion worship services full time. Vetter, who is a 2003 alumnus of DWU has been at the college since 2006. DWU recognized his service to the campus, to the First United Methodist Church and the community on Thursday as the campus wishes him luck on his next venture.
"Brandon Vetter leaves a remarkable spiritual leadership legacy at DWU," Novak said. "When he first came, chapel attendance was near 25. Today, worship has grown to nearly 150 students, faculty, and staff and the campus is more deeply involved in regional and international mission work than ever before.
"From planting the new Fusion worship community to supporting global mission trips, from building discipleship programs to invite people to come to know Christ, to introducing Jesus through media, Brandon has witnessed the evangelical spirit of Christ, who said, 'Go out and make disciples.' We are grateful for his passion, leadership, energy and the truly remarkable spiritual transformation he brought to our campus."

TEMPLE (January 10, 2013)--A Temple man was sentenced to federal prison Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Waco after he earlier pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Kevin Bradell Mackey to serve five years in federal prison, to be followed by three years on supervised release, and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine and a $100 special assessment to the court.
Documents filed in court at the time of Mackey's pleading show Temple police, on Aug. 17, 2012, observed a narcotics transaction take place between Mackey and a woman.
Following the drug deal, officers stopped Mackey's car and at some point during the stop, an officer saw a "cookie" of crack cocaine fall out of Mackey's pants.
While the officer was picking the cocaine up, Mackey fled the scene on foot but after a short chase was apprehended and placed into custody.

Many ponds and creeks dry up during dry weather. Maybe rain will replenish them this spring, but shouldn't you ask yourself "is this the best way to water my cattle during summer?" This might be a good time to develop more wells or pipelines to reliably put water into tanks. Tank water may be cooler and offer easier access than ponds or creeks. It often is healthier for cattle, and they usually prefer it to ponds or creeks. When cows walk into ponds and creeks, they stir mud and sediments into the water and often deposit animal wastes. No wonder calves consistently choose tank water over ponds when given a choice! Investing in tanks probably will actually pay for itself. Reports from Montana, Oregon, Canada, and elsewhere show that the higher water quality found in tanks provides a boost in cattle gains. Calves can weigh an extra 50 pounds at weaning when tank water is available instead of dirty ponds. Yearling steers can gain an extra three to four tenths of a pound per day. With this much added performance, pumping water out of ponds, creeks, or wells and into tanks can pay off in just a few years. And if it's a question of having water or not having water, the payoff is even more immediate. In addition, pumping water into tanks usually improves grazing distribution by attracting cattle to graze areas near the tanks instead of spending time standing in or around the ponds or creek. This can increase your pasture's carrying capacity or grazing season. Think of it — better grazing, higher gains, and reliable water. So much to gain and so little to lose.

On September 13, 1998 Dia Center for the Arts will present the second part of a site-specific installation by the renowned California artist, Robert Irwin. Excursus: Homage to the Square³ is the culmination of Irwin's installation, begun as Prologue: x 18³, and presented at Dia in the spring of 1998. The exhibition will continue through June 13, 1999. Commissioned specifically for the third floor of Dia's large warehouse facility at 548 West 22nd Street, New York City, this is Irwin's first installation to be realized since the opening in December 1997 of his celebrated garden for the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Dia is open to the public Thursday through Sunday 12 noon to 6 pm.
Best known for works which focus on the play of natural light, Irwin has taken as his point of departure the extended durations that characterize Dia's exhibition program. His monumental project will incorporate the changing light conditions over the vast expanse of time, some fifteen months in this instance, devoted to this exhibition.
The whole floor of the gallery has been divided by fine mesh scrims into eighteen chambers. While the first segment of the exhibition was lit primarily by natural light, this second part will introduce more varied color, by means of a wide range of gels modifying the fluorescent fixtures. Capitalizing on a subtle counterpointing of one hue with another throughout the chambers, Irwin will posit a reference to the pioneering American abstractionist, Josef Albers. This second part will consequently be dedicated to his predecessor's most famous series of paintings, Homage to the Square.
Given the interplay between changing natural light and the finely calibrated coloration of the components in this singular installation, comparison may also be drawn to the approach Irwin took when conceiving his garden for the Getty Center. A large-scale project that responds to the unique spatial, topographical, and climactic conditions of the site, this public commission complements the gallery-based installation at Dia Center for the Arts. In his art, Irwin constantly strives to make the viewer conscious of the perceptual process itself, and of the ways in which place, space, and duration impinge upon and condition that act.
Support for this project has been provided by the Lannan Foundation, Ellen and Max Palevsky, the Richard Florsheim Art Fund, and the Dia Art Council, the major annual support group of Dia Center for the Arts.
Dia Center for the Arts is a tax-exempt charitable organization. Established in 1974, the organization has become one of the largest in the United States dedicated to contemporary art and contemporary culture. In fulfilling this commitment, Dia sustains diverse programming in visual arts, poetry, arts education, and critical discourse and debate.

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.
We've been working on this, and will start testing a feature that will allow users to up or down vote ads. This will be rolled out to a small, randomly selected, percentage of our users initially, but if the test is successful we'll roll it out to all (and properly announce it at that time :). Stay tuned.
The people I talk to who have done this (voting on ads) indicate that it never results in worthwhile, actionable data.
We already have 'voting' for ads.
It's called 'clicking on them' ; )
Just head to the unofficial Meta Stack Overflow Stack Overflow Ad Gallery and vote your heart out.
That's a valid point. Advertisers have their own metrics (they literally live in their own world of 'ad response' statistics) and this additional metric may be off-putting to some.
On the other hand, Google didn't say, "Let's do advertising the way it's always been done" they decided to do it their way and accept the advertisers who were willing to fit into their model.
StackOverflow is a site built around the idea that the community can vote on and moderate itself - why not extend that to moderating the ads as well?
"The advertisers won't like it" is only valid if that means that we can't get enough advertisers to participate.
I suspect, though, that the advertisers who truly want our dollars won't mind coming into our community and participating, even if most of them only do it tongue in cheek (as woot did).
But I suspect this is one aspect of StackOverflow that the community won't be able to decide - at the end of the day it'll have to be a business decision.
Still, it would be a fun experiment.
facebook has a sort-of 'downvote' on their ads - you can click to close them and give a reason why you didn't like it
i seriously doubt that it has any effect on the quality of the ads displayed, however...

I have a dbf with a field named "ppa" .the type of ppa is double. users enter number (for example 0.023) in a textbox and select the dbf in a combobox . then click Run and program multiply 0.023 with each number of ppa and save the result in another field . what objects do i need for programming ? How can i do this ?
Why not use a Python script tool or a ModelBuilder model for this? Take advantage of the existing geoprocessing framework and save yourself a lot of code.
All you would do is set up your parameters (input table, input float value) and set up Calculate Field in the script/model to use the entered parameters, then double-click the tool/model from ArcToolbox to bring up the user interface, enter the values and click OK. About as simple as it gets really.
Also, if you run the tool/model from an MXD containing tables, it will automatically populate the input table parameter dropdown box with a list of available tables in the document.

What was the role of the media in the outcome of the revolution in Tunisia? Throughout the revolution we saw the role of the media was extremely important, what was the role of the media during the revolution?
The following snippets are from two articles that describe what role the media may have had in the outcome of the "Arab Spring"

The media has been criticized for casting an inaccurate view of the recent tensions. The problem is that it's portrayed as a recent upheavel, something that the people in the region have seemingly just woken up to. In fact, many of those in the hotspot areas leading revolts have stated that the struggles have been ongoing for years, if not decades, and only because of social media and increased communications capabilities have the current situations finally boiled over at this very moment in history, and seemingly altogether (when really they are more coincidental- after all, just because one country nearby revolts doesn't make it any safer to revolt against a strongman in another country, as Syria and Dubai are proving).
On the flip side, because of the media the word has not just been "getting out" but has been amplified significantly, which places extraordinary pressure on unpopular governments, often hastening their fall. Mainstream media and news organizations are in a fight for their existence with the new social media wave, and thus tend to cow-tow to it. In this example, activity on Twitter and Facebook can often lead to a bunch of mentions in the press, and if drama is abound... it will be 'page one' for sure. Coordination of protests on Twitter, combined with large-scale news reporting of said protests are the current one-two punch being used to overthrow strongmen in the region, something previously unthinkable.

Sarah Palin must not have read or watched "Game Change," the tell-all 2008 presidential campaign book and made-for-TV movie that dished dirt on John McCain's disastrous decision to make her his vice presidential running mate.
The former Republican Alaska governor thinks it would be a "wonderful" for likely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to tap former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as his vice president.
McCain's selection of Palin was doomed from the start, largely because the Arizona Republican senator's presidential campaign didn't do all its homework on her.
Trial balloons by Palin, Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol, former Ronald Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and others for a Romney-Rice 2012 ticket indicates that they either haven't done all their homework on Rice or, like McCain, they're more interested in sizzle than steak in a GOP-acceptable running mate.
"Choosing Condoleezza Rice would inject tremendous excitement into the campaign and remove all suspense from the outcome," conservative pundit George Will said Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos. "You would have such an uproarious convention in Tampa, you'd have perhaps a third party, you'd have a challenge to her on the floor, you'd have walkouts of delegations, and he'd lose 40 states."
Still, for some Republicans there's just something about Condi.
"She's very qualified," New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who's also rumored to be in Romney's VP mix, told Stephanopoulos. "She's excellent. She's tested. Yes."
Yes, Rice was a hawkish neo-conservative when it came to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other aspects of U.S. foreign policy. And yes, she's an impressive speaker with an equally impressive resume: a preacher's daughter and child of segregated Alabama; an accomplished pianist and ice skater; an expert on Russia and the old Soviet Union; a former Stanford University provost; President George W. Bush's national security adviser; and the nation's first black female secretary of state.
But Rice is a no-go for conservative Republicans when it comes to several domestic policy issues. For instance, she proclaimed herself "mildly pro-choice," a description that led one anti-abortion blogger to caustically ask last week whether an aborted fetus is "mildly dead?"
Democratic strategist James Carville said if people believe that "Condi Rice is going to be a Republican vice president, then you believe that Obama was born in Kenya.
While most of the anti-Rice forces focused on her abortion stance and her being associated with a president whose name is still radioactive among Democratic and Republican voters, they overlooked another Condi stance that could have the GOP base screaming "Massachusetts Moderate Mitt!" if he picks her.
Rice is an unabashed supporter of affirmative action.
Rice supported affirmative action even when the Bush administration didn't. In 2003, the Bush White House filed a legal brief supporting a challenge in the Supreme Court to the University of Michigan's admissions policy, which used race as a consideration.
Press media reports at the time said that White House officials ran their position on the Michigan case by Rice, who aides said approved it. That was false. Rice, then Bush's national security adviser, grew so annoyed by the reports that she took the nearly-unheard of step of issuing a carefully-worded statement in which she broke with her boss, the president of the United States.
"I agree with the president's position, which emphasizes the need for diversity and recognizes the continued legacy of racial prejudice and the need to fight it," she said in the statement.
But she added: "I believe that while race-neutral means are preferable, it is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in achieving a diverse student body."
Rice wasn't the only high-ranking Bush administration official to disagree with the president. Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell seconded Rice's affirmative action assessment.
And Rice hasn't been a shrinking violet since she left the White House and State Department in talking about the continued need for affirmative action, especially in education.
In her 2010 book, "Extraordinary, Ordinary People: a Memoir of Family," Rice writes about how affirmative action helped her rise in academia. During a 2010 speech at Washington's National Press Club to promote her book, Rice said the need for affirmative action still exists.
"It was always a great frustration to me as secretary of state that I could go all day at the State Department and never see another person who looked like me in a meeting," she said. "For the most ethnically diverse – biggest multi-ethnic democracy in the world, that was a real problem."
She said she doesn't look at affirmative action as a quota system in which you "need 10 percent of that and 5 percent of that and 25 percent of that," as many Republicans believe it is, but "as a clarion call to make sure that you just aren't replicating the same group of people out of the same channels over and over again."
"It makes the world a pretty dull place when you do that," she told the press club.
But some folks like dull just fine. VDARE, designated as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, blasted talk of a possible Rice VP pick.
"…The choice of Rice, an Affirmative Action cipher with no visible talent except for obeying Neocons, is a hugely negative message to white voters," a post on the group's web site read. "It says that the GOP is indeed terrified of Obama's Race Card and that a Romney presidency is likely to degenerate into minority appeasement."

How many negative levels does a creature gain when trapped by a devourer? Does he gain the neg. levels immediately or only when the devourer drains the essence point from the pool (for casting)?
Sign up

The trapped creature only gains negative levels as the Devourer uses it to fuel its spell-like abilities. It gains 1 negative level for every five uses of its spell-like abilities, so it gains its first negative level the fifth time the Devourer uses a spell-like ability since trapping it, then another on the 10th time, and so on. These are independent from any negative levels gained from the Devourer's claw attack or spectral hand; a trapped creature is not subject to those effects but might have been subject to them before getting trapped. Negative levels from all of these sources stack, though the Pathfinder version of the Devourer states that when you're brought back after being trapped, the negative level from being brought back doesn't stack with those from the Devourer (so you effectively have one fewer negative level than you would otherwise).
As usual, @Kryan hit the nail on the head. I would just add one more thing about gaining the neg lvls..For every negative level the character receives they must succeed on a DC 19 Fort Save or lose it permanently.
While you could technically make force them to make the save (or all of them) immediately upon exiting the Devourer I would allow them atleast one round for a chance to be "buffed" assisting the save. I would also allow 1 round between every save for additional chances. However, I might even allow them to wait until after 1 round of combat (assuming they were freed before the devourer was killed.)

I am trying to automate a naming process that takes the file name from a list of file paths to name other folders, geodatabases, zipfiles, etc.
The problem I'm running into is that, I assume, I am trying to run string functions on list object and I can't figure out how to get the script to do what I need it to do.
For example, I have the file path C:\TEMP\Durham.shp. I want to name a geodatabase, folder, and zipfile "Durham". Instead I get a folder and geodatabase named "C".
Can someone take a look at my script and tel me what I'm doing wrong?
The following script is that last incarnation of several attempts.
import arcpy, os
import zipfile
from arcpy import env
from os.path import basename
BASELAYERS = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
CLIPLAYERS = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
OUTFOLDERMASTER = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
FILETYPES = ["*.shp", "*.dbf", "*.shx", "*.prj", "*.sbn", "*.sbx", "*.xml"]
env.workspace = OUTFOLDERMASTER
for LAYERS in CLIPLAYERS:
LAYERSSTR = ''.join(LAYERS)
BASENAME = LAYERSSTR.split("\\")[-1]
FOLDER = os.path.join(OUTFOLDERMASTER, BASENAME)
PGDBNAME = "NCFlood_Effective_" + BASENAME + "_PGDB.mdb"
arcpy.CreatePersonalGDB_management(FOLDER, PGDBNAME, "9.3")
PGDB = os.path.join(FOLDER,PGDBNAME)
for FILES in BASELAYERS:
FEATURENAMESTR = ''.join(FILES)
FEATURENAME = os.path.basename(FEATURENAMESTR)
SHAPEFILENAME = FEATURENAME + ".shp"
SHAPEFILE = os.path.join(FOLDER, SHAPEFILENAME)
arcpy.Clip_analysis(FILES, LAYERS, FEATURENAME)
arcpy.Clip_analysis(FILES, LAYERS, SHAPEFILE)
for TYPE in FILETYPES:
ZIPFILENAME = os.path.join(FOLDER, "NCFlood_Effective_" + FOLDERNAME + "_SHP.zip")
ARCHIVE = zipfile.ZipFile(ZIPFILENAME, "w")
for ZIP in ZIPFILELIST:
ARCHIVE.write(ZIP, os.path.basename(ZIP), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
I have also tried
BASENAME = os.path.basename(LAYERS)
FOLDERNAME = os.path.splitext(BASENAME)[0]

Each article has it's open graph meta tags, so when someone Likes the article, a title, picture and description are posted on facebook.
But suddenly it started working wrongly, now when u like the page u just get the Link to be posted on facebook, not the description nor the title nor the picture.
And I have no idea what's going on because nothing was changed.

Can someone give me a detailed explanation about frame rate and fps concepts?
"Frame rate" and "FPS" (frames per second) are usually the same thing. A "frame" is usually a single image in the series of images presented to your screen rapidly so as to give the illusion of motion in your game, and so the terms generally refer to how many of those images your game can simulate and produce within one second.
FPS is often used as a crude measurement of performance, but it's important to remember that it's a non-linear measurement: the difference between 30 and 60 FPS is much larger than 60 and 90 FPS.
Occasionally you will see the term applied in a context where "frame" doesn't refer directly to a unit of graphics/simulation processing overall, but to something narrower in scope. The idea is the same, though: how many of these steps does the program produce within one second.
FPS = frames per second. A frame is basically your screen with something drawn on it. 60FPS means that something draws on your screen 60 times in one second. Because our eyes (or should I say the image processing cortex in the brain) is limited, if you draw something on very fast and move it each time - it will seem like it moves to our brain. That's how cartoons are done.
A "frame" is once around the game loop:
update() involves things like
draw() is just drawing the current state of the game, as computed by update().
So here a "frame" is BOTH an update/draw cycle. FPS (frames per second) is a rough measure of how many times you can do your basic game loop per second, so by that its a rough measure of game performance.
Any number of things can be the bottle neck in your frame rate. It could be the CPU intensive AI code. It could be your collision detection routines before you added a reasonable space partitioning scheme. It could be the GPU itself.
If it contains an accurate physics solver, your physics solver will need to perform more than one iteration step per "frame" displayed (CarSim for example requires something like 1000 iterations every 1/60 second, simply to retain stability in the solution).

Dear Editor,
"OBAMA vs. NRA" on the gun control debate, after the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected broader federal background checks and bans on popular semi-automatic rifles, cleverly titled - "assault weapons" - President Obama said, "I see this as just round one."
The President, all but acknowledged that he will be seeking a knockout punch in the next round regardless, gun control backers, be-fuddles about what it will take to push gun legislation through Congress - declared round one as a victory for the NRA and a defeat for Obama.
Obama's own Justice Department admits that gun control proposals will not reduce violence. If you "follow the guns", Operation Fast and Furious - not lax gun laws - allowed weapons to reach Mexico, as a matter of fact, the "war on guns" started within weeks of Obama's inauguration in January 2009, when the Obama Administration began fasely claiming that more than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico came from the United States.
Their intent was to drum up support for the Clinton-era assault weapons ban, a misnamed and failed law that resulted in more of the banned weapons being purchased than ever before.The next round in the flight - the old rules have been thrown out the window.
Undoubtedly, without legislative support, Obama will attempt to implement his policies through executive or administrative maneuvers. Gun owners could be "outgunned" with just a simple stroke of his pen.''

Two questions concerning the decomposition of $L_0^2(GL_2({\mathbb{Q}}) \backslash GL_2(A), \psi)$, where $\psi$ is a Hecke character on the adelic ring $A$:
It is known that when $\psi$ is trivial on $\mathbb{R}^\times_{+}$, there is an explicit correspondence between classical modular forms and irreducible constituents of the regular representation of $L_0^2(GL_2({\mathbb{Q}}) \backslash, GL_2(A), \psi)$. Does similar correspondence (with other generalized automorphic forms) exist when $\psi$ is non-trivial on $\mathbb{R}^\times_{+}$?
What is the role play by Maass forms in such a decomposition? Can we also construct a correspondence just as we did for modular forms?
Thank you!

Their Eyes Were Watching God (Paperback)
With a Foreword by Edwidge Danticat and an Afterword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom.
