The attack began after protesters began massing outside the consulate
A small group of militants opened fire on the complex and gained entry
The militants set fire to the main building with the U.S. ambassador still inside
Control was regained more than four hours later
(CNN) -- Outside the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Tuesday night, protesters began massing.
The subject of their ire: a film mocking Islam's prophet.
But the demonstration organized by the radical Islamist group Ansar Al-Sharia soon turned violent, when a group of heavily armed militants "infiltrated the march to start chaos," said Libyan Deputy Interior Minister Wanis al-Sharif.
After four hours, the consulate was destroyed, its walls blackened by shooting flames. Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, were dead.
U.S. officials were still trying Wednesday to piece together the details of how the attack unfolded.
Initial reports indicate the attack began around 10 p.m. as gunmen opened fire on the main compound of the U.S. consulate complex.
"According to our sources, the attack was the work of roughly 20 militants, prepared for a military assault," said Noman Benotman, once a leading member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and now based at the Quilliam Foundation in London.
Within 15 minutes, the gunmen were able to enter the building and set it ablaze. Three people were inside when the fire broke out: Stevens, Foreign Service information management officer Sean Smith and a U.S. regional security officer -- all of whom had taken refuge in a safe room, according to senior State Department officials.
The three were forced to try to evacuate when the safe room became filled with smoke.
Photos of the compound taken Tuesday night show flames shooting from every orifice of the building as militants wielding weapons walk through the compound. Senior administration officials called the conditions inside "awful," describing "incredibly thick smoke and fire."
That heavy, black smoke added to the confusion of the situation and the three diplomatic officers became separated, the administration officials said.
Meanwhile, American and Libyan security personnel, forced to fend off an attack on the outside and the raging fire within, were grappling with how to handle the increasingly complicated scene, U.S. officials said.
The regional security officer with Stevens and Smith managed to escape the building and returned with others to try to rescue the men. For Smith, the rescue came too late. He had already succumbed to smoke inhalation by the time they arrived. Stevens, in Benghazi on a short trip from the capital Tripoli, was missing, apparently able to make his way out unnoticed in the chaos.
Just over a half hour after the first gunshots rang out, security personnel attempted to retake the main compound, but were repelled by heavy gunfire and retreated to an annex in the complex.
They made a second attempt at 11:20 p.m. -- more than an hour after the attack began -- and successfully regained control of the main building.
But the incident was far from over. The gunbattle continued and the attack moved from the main compound to the complex's annex.
"It was during that time that two additional U.S. personnel were killed and two others were wounded," one of the senior administration officials said.
Finally, at 2:30 a.m., four and a half hours into the attack, U.S. security personnel, assisted by Libyan forces, took back control of the entire consulate complex.
Still unknown at that time, however, was Stevens' whereabouts.
Libyans said bystanders had helped carry an unconscious Stevens to a hospital. However, U.S. officials could not confirm that account.
"We are not clear on the circumstances between the time he got separated from the rest of the group inside the burning building to the time we were notified that he was in a Benghazi hospital," the senior administration official said. "We were not able to see him until his body was returned to us at the airport."
Also unclear Wednesday was the significance of the timing of the attack, which fell on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington and coincided with a violent protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
State Department officials said the two incidents at the diplomatic missions were not related and said they believe the Benghazi violence was a "clearly planned attack."
"It was not an innocent mob," one senior official said. "The video or 9/11 made a handy excuse and could be fortuitous from their perspective but this was a clearly planned military-type attack."
U.S. President Barack Obama, however, said it was too early to say whether the attack was pre-planned.
As dawn broke Wednesday, the magnitude of the previous night's events were felt by both Americans and Libyans. Charred debris and ash littered the floor of the burned-out consulate. A small American flag lay amid the rubble. And both the governments of the United States and Libya, on this "very, very difficult day," mourned the loss of Stevens, who had helped save Benghazi during last year's revolution.
"He risked his life to stop a tyrant, then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.

In order to login to most websites you need a username and password which is often stored in a SQL database. You are storing per-user information that can change, this is state. Can you prove that someone has the rights to access your system, such as an administrator or a user, without the need to store per-user state?
To some extent, you can offload state on the clients. You encode the access rights of a user into a blob to which you add a MAC computed with a server secret key. The blob-with-MAC is then sent to the client. Later on, the client comes back and shows the blob; the server verifies the MAC and thus makes sure that the blob is legitimate. This maps reasonably well on HTTP cookies. Possibly, the blob could contain some encrypted data (there again with a server-only symmetric key) if the server wants to store some user-related data without making it visible to the user.
Trouble begins when you want to revoke or change rights. You cannot prevent a client from showing a stale blob. This can be coped with by using a combination of expiration dates (the blob contains a date and is valid for, e.g., one week) and, if need be, revocation lists (the server knows a list of blobs that it must reject, even if their MAC looks good -- this is state, but not much because the wide majority of access rights do not get revoked).
If the entity issuing the access rights (the one which creates the blob) and the entity verifying the access rights (the one which verifies the MAC) are not the same, then you need to replace the MAC with a digital signature scheme.
By using Kerberos the complexity that has to keep track of authentication state is isolated. The final step to access the service the client provides a
you can go down to hardwire admin- and user-rights on a system, allow admins only local access and anyone else any user access.

Box Score | Game Notes
CHARLOTTE (February 10, 2013) – The San Antonio Rampage (21-23-0-4) fell behind in the second period and could not climb back, as they were defeated by the Charlotte Checkers (28-16-2-3), 2-1, Sunday afternoon to split the weekend series at Time Warner Cable Arena.
The defeat snapped San Antonio's three-game winning streak and was the first defeat the Rampage have suffered on their annual Rodeo Road Trip (2-1-0-0).
Goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris made 22 saves off 24 shots and rookie forward Jonathan Hazen extended his three game point streak, but the Rampage surrendered a pair of goals within a 66-second span in the middle frame to give Charlotte the lead.
The Rampage outshot the Checkers, 29-24, in the game, marking the first time San Antonio has outshot an opponent in nine games stretching back to Jan. 11. However, in that span, San Antonio had posted a 6-3-0-0 record.
After a scoreless first period, Scott Timmins opened the scoring at 7:09 of the second period. Hazen found Timmins in the slot and the Rampage center fired a shot past Charlotte netminder Justin Peters to give the Rampage the 1-0 lead.
The goal was Timmins first since Jan. 6th and continued a three-game point streak for Hazen, who has three assists in his last three games.
The Rampage controlled the first half of the second period, at one point outshooting Charlotte, 15-8, but the Checkers pressed late and took advantage of two defensive miscues to get back into the game.
Michal Jordan tied the game for the Checkers at 16:12 of the second period when Bobby Raymond found him waiting in the high slot. Just over a minute later, a Rampage turnover led to a Checkers 3-on-1 odd-man rush. Brent Sutter left a drop pass for Zac Dalpe who fired a shot past Grumet-Morris to give Charlotte their first lead of the night.
The Rampage outshot the Checkers, 11-7, in the final frame, but were unable to find the tying goal and fell to two games below .500.
Both teams went 0-for-3 on the power play on Sunday and neither squad was able to convert with the man advantage on the weekend, as San Antonio went 0-for-6 and Charlotte was 0-for-8.
The Rampage will continue the Rodeo Road Trip with a three-in-three weekend starting on Friday with a 7:00 p.m. puck drop against the Milwaukee Admirals.
The Silver and Black will return to AT&T Center on Saturday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. to host their annual Military Appreciation Night. Individual and season tickets can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

General Discussion
Paramyotonia congenita is a rare muscular disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. This nonprogressive disorder is characterized by a condition in which the muscles do not relax after contracting (myotonia). Symptoms can be triggered by exposure to the cold. There are also intermittent periods of a type of paralysis in which there is no muscle tone (flaccid paresis). This condition does not necessarily coincide with exposure to cold temperatures or myotonia. There is no wasting (atrophy) or increase in bulk (hypertrophy) of muscles with this disorder.

Does it make a sense to use a build server in small (2-3 developer) game development team? I like the idea of continuous integration, and the team members are not in the same place, so it might not be a bad idea.
The main benefits of CI are:
I just completed a small game in a one-month cycle that shipped. We didn't use CI; even if we did, we would not have needed those above two benefits because:
Your situation may vary. If you don't need any or all of these benefits, it's not worth the additional overhead to:
It makes sense to use whatever tool gives you more benefit than it costs to use.
In the small team I am working in, one person suggested that we have a CI server, but upon discussing it, it seemed that it would take a significant degree of effort to get it working with the tools we use. In our situation, we couldn't spare that amount of time so we chose not to use one.
The best answer for you will depend on how quickly you can set one up, and how much benefit you think you'd get from it. Personally I think most of these systems are only worthwhile for big projects with large numbers of developers, but you may think differently, based on your own experiences and on how much benefit you expect to see compared to the difficulty of setting it up and maintaining it.

Happy Columbus Day! How are you celebrating it?
19 Answers answer
I'm here working too...
I plan to throw some smallpox-infected blankets over the fence then steal my neighbors' land.
What? Too soon?
Out sick. So maybe @stile99 is my neighbor...
Only bankers and postal workers get today off. (lucky sobs)
@bsmith1: And all Federal and most State employees as well (depends on the state.)
I plan on celebrating by getting in my large ship, getting lost, then claiming I'm right for hundreds of years.....
Deleting a large amount of Columbus Day sales out of my inbox, apparently. And working.
with your mom
I am working nine and a half hours (the length of the store day where I work) because the manager took the day off to be with her kids. As she should.
@stile99: As an Official Indigenous Person, I was going to say that I was going to spend the day avoiding smallpox blankets and hoping nobody adversely possesses my home. I see you're well on your way, though.
I'm going to sit around with my Viking friends and point and laugh at Columbus.
Well, I went to work at o-dark thirty (at a financial institute) and am now enjoying the remainder of the day off.
-not all banking people get the day off today
I'm going to drive around aimlessly, until I find a house that looks good. Then, I'm going to go into it and tell the people inside "I live here now."
If Columbus only had speed boats....
I don't celebrate Columbus Day. I work.
It's Thanksgiving! I am eating turkey, mashed potatoes, squash, and not eating whatever-that-thing-is-that-Aunt-Em-made. I'm grateful for friends and family, including my woot family, and for my little four-legged, squirrel-chasing, heart-melting loves.
@neuropsychosocial: Canada, eh?
I went hiking/camping at Starved Rock State Park!
It was a bit chilly camping (dropped into the low 30s Sunday Night), but we made it.

WATCH: The Best of LGBT Chorus Holiday Music
In cities around the world, both gay men's choruses and mixed LGBT choral groups have established themselves as holiday traditions. These 12 selections range from heart-rending to eye rolling. But it wouldn't be the holidays without them.
Plus: A bonus selection at the end — the most moving of all.
12. "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah — Gay Men's Chorus South Florida (2012)
It's great to hear the most classic Christmas song of all. Always powerful and always moving. Thanks, GMC South Florida.
11. "In the Spirit" — The Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus Christmas Concert (2012)
This is the first of the more challenging holiday numbers. Pardon the camera work, since Aunt Sophie may have had too many hot toddies before the night began. And c'mon, gays, we can make better elf costumes than that.
10. "Black Christmas" — Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C. (2012)
This is what we're talkin' about, folks. Sweet, funny, and original. We are the unexpected voice.
9. "Chanukah in Santa Monica" — The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (2011)
Right on! Remember this season is more than a birthday party and you will laugh out loud.
8. "Christmas Greetings" — Sydney Gay and Lesbian Choir (2013)
Congratulations to our Aussie friends on recent marriage equality rulings! In this video, they rub our noses in the fact that Christmas happens in summer Down Under.
7. "Ring Christmas Bells" — Gloria Dublin's Lesbian and Gay Choir (2010)
OK, besides the "Hallelujah Chorus," this one is our favorite. And this is a beautiful version.
6. "Someday at Christmas": San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (2007)
Why do we well up every time we hear a bunch of gay men singing in harmony?
5. "Coming Out at Christmas" — London Gay Men's Chorus (2006)
Awesomely professional — and dear lord, there are so many of them. Don't miss this upbeat, witty holiday song.
4. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" — Columbus Gay Men's Chorus (2011)
This one made us slightly uncomfortable. Even the chorus looks uncomfortable.
3. "With Bells On" — Chicago Gay Men's Chorus (2012)
Big and nelly and delightful. Lots of heel-to-toe action. Well done, boys.
2. "Santa Baby" — Seattle Men's Chorus (2009)
OK, not sure who the chanteuse is, but who is looking?
1. "North Pole Rock & Roll" — S.F. Gay Men's Chorus (2012)
Great song, well done. But the best thing is that drunk Aunt Sophie wasn't holding the camera. Well shot.
Encore: "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth" — Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (2012)
On the day following the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., 46 students from the Creative Planet School of the Arts harmonized onstage with the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles. This performance was dedicated to the families in Newtown and to everyone whose lives are changed forever by violence.

A legendary user on Ultimate-Guitar, he started out in the Metal Section in Ultimate-Guitar, but after a few months, he ventured off into the black hole of stupidity known as The Pit. Also going into the Other forum and the Punk/Ska forum, but The Pit was his exctasy. Soon he became a big hit. After controversial threads (And epic threads, such as the Ban the User Above You V.2, which is close to being the longest thread in UG), and his personality and sense of humour, he won Best AND Worst Threadstarter, and Most Likely to Become a Serial Killer, barely beating Meths. He has also been repeatedly voted Worst Uger two times in a row. A feat no one has yet accomplished except him. He also got 69th place on the best Uger. But the official Best Uger (glm hosted, but after he got permabanned ldl67 took over with SomeoneYouKnew counting the votes) he moved up 59 whole place and got number 10.

Severity Ratings for Usability Problems
Summary: Severity ratings can be used to allocate the most resources to fix the most serious problems and can also provide a rough estimate of the need for additional usability efforts. If the severity ratings indicate that several disastrous usability problems remain in an interface, it will probably be unadvisable to release it. But one might decide to go ahead with the release of a system with several usability problems if they are all judged as being cosmetic in nature.
Severity ratings can be used to allocate the most resources to fix the most serious problems and can also provide a rough estimate of the need for additional usability efforts. If the severity ratings indicate that several disastrous usability problems remain in an interface, it will probably be unadvisable to release it. But one might decide to go ahead with the release of a system with several usability problems if they are all judged as being cosmetic in nature.
The severity of a usability problem is a combination of three factors:
- The frequency with which the problem occurs: Is it common or rare?
- The impact of the problem if it occurs: Will it be easy or difficult for the users to overcome?
- The persistence of the problem: Is it a one-time problem that users can overcome once they know about it or will users repeatedly be bothered by the problem?
Finally, of course, one needs to assess the market impact of the problem since certain usability problems can have a devastating effect on the popularity of a product, even if they are "objectively" quite easy to overcome. Even though severity has several components, it is common to combine all aspects of severity in a single severity rating as an overall assessment of each usability problem in order to facilitate prioritizing and decision-making.
The following 0 to 4 rating scale can be used to rate the severity of usability problems:
0 = I don't agree that this is a usability problem at all
1 = Cosmetic problem only: need not be fixed unless extra time is available on project
2 = Minor usability problem: fixing this should be given low priority
3 = Major usability problem: important to fix, so should be given high priority
4 = Usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before product can be released
Severity Ratings in Heuristic Evaluation
It is difficult to get good severity estimates from the evaluators during a heuristic evaluation session when they are more focused on finding new usability problems. Also, each evaluator will only find a small number of the usability problems, so a set of severity ratings of only the problems found by that evaluator will be incomplete. Instead, severity ratings can be collected by sending a questionnaire to the evaluators after the actual evaluation sessions, listing the complete set of usability problems that have been discovered, and asking them to rate the severity of each problem. Since each evaluator has only identified a subset of the problems included in the list, the problems need to be described in reasonable depth, possibly using screendumps as illustrations. The descriptions can be synthesized by the evaluation observer from the aggregate of comments made by those evaluators who had found each problem (or, if written evaluation reports are used, the descriptions can be synthesized from the descriptions in the reports). These descriptions allow the evaluators to assess the various problems fairly easily even if they have not found them in their own evaluation session. Typically, evaluators need only spend about 30 minutes to provide their severity ratings. It is important to note that each evaluator should provide individual severity ratings independently of the other evaluators.
Often, the evaluators will not have access to the actual system while they are considering the severity of the various usability problems. It is possible that the evaluators can gain additional insights by revisiting parts of the running interface rather than relying on their memory and the written problem descriptions. At the same time, there is no doubt that the evaluators will be slower at arriving at the severity ratings if they are given the option of interacting further with the system. Also, scheduling problems will sometimes make it difficult to provide everybody with computer access at convenient times if special computer resources are needed to run a prototype system or if software distribution is limited due to confidentiality considerations.
My experience indicates that severity ratings from a single evaluator are too unreliable to be trusted. As more evaluators are asked to judge the severity of usability problems, the quality of the mean severity rating increases rapidly, and using the mean of a set of ratings from three evaluators is satisfactory for many practical purposes.

I'll be in Lanzarote in February. I've been there in high summer when of course it was very hot but what's the sea temperature like in February?
About 18 degrees Celsius, give or take:
And that website seriously hurts my eyes.
Somewhat more readable, but not giving historical details:
Air temperature
Most of the islands are pretty similar in climate, but Wikipedia has a great chart for temperatures of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, indicating that the average high in February is around 21 degrees Celsius, the mean temperature for the day is 18 deg, and the average low is 15 deg. You can also expect 1 in 8-10 days to have rain, on average.
For more specifically Lanzarote details, we had to hunt through the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología - the metereological agency used as a source for the above Wikipedia data. And yes, they have a climate page on Lanzarote.
This indicates that 17.5 is the daily average, the average high is 21.2, the average low is 13.9 and in terms of rainfall, you can expect 14mm over 3 days of the month, on average.
Sea temperature
For the ocean, we have to go to different websites. I'll provide three:

I used to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture until i watched this video

Anonymous Coward
Post Content
any logical faithful believer would know that the rapture would come at the end of the tribulation... pre-trib is for fools who are deluded to think that they are not sinners and deserve to be taken away prior to hell on earth... not going to happen, we all have to go through fire, pressures and trials and endure till the end... how does a diamond reach its perfect state from an ordinary rock? it needs to go through a intense process that most christians in their feel good bubble world are not ready to endure and why some of them invented the pre-trib dogma to fit their wishes.

Filmapalooza: Keynote Speaker
Alexander Payne, director of Sideways, About Schmidt, Election, and Citizen Ruth, was our keynote speaker.
There was be a Q&A with him on Friday night. On Saturday morning, he hosted a small discussion group with a few lucky filmmakers.
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Alexander Payne earned an M.F.A. in Filmmaking from UCLA. Payne made his feature film debut with the comedy Citizen Ruth (1996), and followed up with Election (1999), a film which earned Best Screenplay awards from the Writers' Guild of America and the New York Film Critics Circle, as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. It also won Independent Spirit awards for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. About Schmidt (2002) with Jack Nicholson and Kathy Bates, won two Golden Globe Awards for screenplay and acting and was voted best film of 2002 by both the Los Angeles and London Film Critics Circles. Sideways (2004), Payne's latest collaboration with Jim Taylor, won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for four others, including Best Picture and Best Director. In 2006 he directed a short film for Paris, Je T'aime, in which 18 directors were asked to film a 5-minute love story shot in Paris. Payne is Producer of King of California and Executive Producer of The Savages, which recently appeared at Sundance to glowing reviews.

Studying the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, I meet a generalization of the notion of its solutions, which is found already in the work of Sophus Lie.
For an H-J eqn, I mean a first order pde $H\circ dS=0$ in an unknown scalar function $S$ defined on a smooth manifold $M$, where $H\in C^\infty (T^\ast M,\mathbb{R})$.
If $S$ is a solution then the image $\Lambda$ of its differential $dS$ is included in $H^{-1}(0)$ and has the following properties:
- $\Lambda$ is a lagrangian submanifold of $(T^\ast M,d\theta_M)$,
- $\Lambda$ is transversal to the fibers of $\tau_M^{\ast}:T^\ast M\to M$,
- the restriction of $\tau_M^{\ast}$ to $\Lambda$ is injective.
Conversely, if a submanifold $\Lambda$ of $T^\ast M$, included in $H^{-1}(0)$, satisfies the properties 1, 2, and 3, then it is equal to the image of the differential of a solution, unique up to a constant.
But if a submanifold $\Lambda$ of $T^\ast M$, included in $H^{-1}(0)$, satisfies only the conditions 1 and 2, then, around each of its points, it is again equal to the image of the differential of a solution, but this can fail to holds globally.
The idea of Sophus Lie was to give up both conditions 2 and 3.
Adopting this point of view, we define a generalized (or geometric) solution of $H\cic dS=0$ to be any lagrangian submanifold $\Lambda$ of $(T^\ast M,d\theta_M)$ which is included in $H^{-1}(0)$.
I don't think that this generalization is only due to the sake of abstractness. Infact, considering generalized solutions, it is possible, arguing with tecniques from symplectic geometry, to prove the local existence and uniqueness theorem, at the same time, for generalized and usual solutions.
But I am hoping to find "more" practical applications which illustrate the meaningfulness of geometric solutions. I would like to learn if ther is some physical or geometrical problem involving an H.-J. eqn, whose comprehension is sensibly augmented by the consideration of generalized solutions. So my question is:
What are the possible arguments and applications that motivate and help to interpret the notion of geometric solutions for an Hamilton-Jacobi equation?

Cross-posted from The Neophyte Photographer.
It is Inauguration Day in the United States.
For all the silliness of the election season, and regardless of the winner, I like inauguration day and the peaceful transition of power it symbolizes (or in this case, the assent of the people to the continuation of the current administration). I've got a number of friends who are there and I hope they have a great time.
I took these shots of the White House last March. You can see the lights on in the Oval Office and I wonder if they are on all the time, or only when the President is in residence. I'm pretty sure President Obama was in D.C. at the time, so seeing the lights on was kind of cool.
UPDATED to add: Okay, now I'm feeling rather foolish. I've been operating under the misapprehension that the Oval Office is located in the White House. It is not. Rather it is located in the West Wing, a separate building on the White House grounds.

Earlier this week we asked our Facebook fans to answer the following question; "Internet giant Yahoo! surprised quite a few people last week when an internal memo put an end to working from home for its employees. Do you think, when possible, working from home is a good idea? Why or why not?" And told them their responses may be edited for content and clarity and used in an upcoming article in the Globe. Here are the responses we've received.
Naomi Warren: "There are obvious pros and cons of having employees work from home. Pro: working from home enables the employee the convenience of being there for their family when needed, but still able to accomplish tasks required by the employer. Working from home allows for an employee to work with less distractions depending on the kind of lifestyle and household size they might have. Working from home allows an employee to work regardless of weather or circumstances that might otherwise prevent them from working a full week. For example, if an employee is ill, running a temperature or experiencing symptoms that could be considered contagious the advantage of working at home not only benefits the employee but the employer as well to prevent the spread of this illness to others in the office. Staying home and working would allow the employee to meet a deadline that they might not otherwise complete. Staying at home would allow for an employee to work regardless of weather in case of a blizzard or severe storm.
Con: Working from home takes away the ability of the employer to monitor how an employee is interacting with others on the phone, completing tasks, exhibiting good time management skills etc. Working from home allows the employee to access TV, laundry and other venues a person may take advantage of while at home. Actually stealing time from their employer. Working from home may result in work that is not as productive due to the distractions of children, spouses or other things like personal phone calls. It is possible that an employee who is working from home might lose their work, equipment or damage equipment. Say a dog or cat decides to chew up the chord, lay on the laptop, spill a drink on a laptop. And a family member would have access to confidential information only the place of work allows for their employees to have."
Talulah Adsila Hinton: "Great idea. We need more parents at home. Maybe then kids would be more respectful and less wild."
Angela Salazar: "I would love to work from home since my hubby had a stroke and he can't be alone. We were just accepted for disability. We have three kids (5, 13 and 15) so working from home would help me from running my mind and body crazy. We are now on a huge budget because we can't afford homecare. Working from home would be a huge blessing for us."

Flatbread really stacks up nicely
Form, meet function. Not only that, but an especially tasty function. These soft discs of sesame-flecked flatbread can cradle a sandwich's worth of chicken salad or the fixings for fish tacos, be torn into scoops for hummus, or employed as especially smart "platters" on camping trips, where a swiped-clean plate always is welcomed by the designated dish-washer.

14 'Luxury' Sex Toys for the Extremely Rich and Creepy
#7. Gold Tickler
Via Betonyvernon
Cost: $4,506
This work of "exotic beauty" is made of 18-karat gold and marabou feathers. Exotic beauty, it turns out, looks suspiciously like a duster. Though there is a noticeable difference in the price, as this product is just north of $4,500. It's a shame, too, because that extra six bucks puts it just out of our budget.
"Is the blindfold tight? OK, we're going to play a little guessing game ..."
Honestly, we can see the appeal here -- the marabou is an African stork, an exotic foreign animal. You're not going to find many sex toys made with African bird feathers and gold, which is exactly the sort of extra touch that wealthy people are looking for.
Too bad a marabou looks like this ...
Via Wikipedia
Ad analytics tell us no more than 10 percent of our readers find this arousing.
... and primarily lives on rotting carcasses and shit. So the next time you're handcuffed to a bed and wearing a blindfold, go ahead and try to imagine that plumage tickling your genitals is anything other than a glorified vulture looking for a piece of you that's dead enough to eat.
#6. Luxury Condoms
Via Nakedcondoms.com
Cost: $28
Finally, a product you can afford. Keep in mind, however, it's a product you can only use once, and most Planned Parenthood centers will give them away for free. You might assume all condoms are basically the same, but you would be wrong. Dead wrong.
According to the creators of Naked Condoms, these are "the finest condoms in the world." They gloat over the "craftsmanship" and "technology" of each disposable sperm receptacle as if the wearer were protecting his dick with a Ferrari. And from the way they tell it, more scientific breakthroughs were made to design their condom than were needed to build the atom bomb:
"Naked spent over three years in research and development designing the foil. The challenge ... was to eliminate the unpleasant design found on standard condoms and to allow the foil to tear easily from either direction while maintaining the integrity of the packaging. Six layers of foil are used so that they protect, tear and feel perfect."
Via Nakedcondoms.com
Why hasn't NASA made a statement about this yet?
Just to be clear, they spent over three years of R&D for the goddamn wrapper. Because everyone knows the best parts of having sex are the 20 or 30 sensual seconds of clumsily putting a piece of rubber on a dick. The 28 dollars you paid for a six pack won't feel like a waste at all when you and your lover shudder in ecstasy as you tear apart the packaging together. Shit, why even have sex after that?
#5. Masturbation Mirror
Via Coco-de-mer.com
Cost: $1,598
There's a good chance you already have a mirror in your house, so why should you spend over a grand and a half on one that's only used for watching yourself rub one out? Well for starters, it's got a little stand thingy to keep it propped up and aimed at your crotch. So there's that. But more importantly, this mirror has a mission statement -- it's designed to "represent an articulated interface for the exploration of the sensual realm." It also brings "a new dimension to the world of fine jewelry by discreetly enriching the classical function of body ornament with sensorial power."
Wow! That's a really, really pretentious way of saying, "use this to ogle your junk." Really, why do the sellers muddy the waters with flowery language, like "re-evaluating the aesthetics of desire," when they can instead just point out that anyone who is turned on by the sight of himself jerking off is amazingly self-sufficient? But, no, that's not enough. The wealthy people don't just jerk off -- they break new ground.
Also comes in the John Holmes model.
It makes us wonder if you're allowed to use this mirror for anything else, since the marketing is so specific. Can we still trim our nose hairs in this mirror even when we're not balls-deep in our own fist? Does it even reflect anything other than genitalia? For $1,598, we will probably never know.
#4. Pearl Anal Beads
Via Cocodemerusa.com
Cost: $430
We all know that anyone can cram beads in their ass, but when you can afford to fork over 430 bucks for the privilege, you want it to mean something. Thankfully, there are pearl anal beads for the refined enthusiasts of ass play. The site that sells them tells potential buyers the history and special significance of pearls:
"In mythology, these pearls were thought to be the crystallized tears of Aphrodite and symbolic of love and wisdom through experience."
Via Wikimedia Commons
"I don't have any pockets. Where the hell am I supposed to put this?"
See the difference the background information makes? Apparently there is at least a foot and a half of wisdom to be had from these goddess tears. Gaining an appreciation for the rich mythology of pearls will ensure that they are far and away the most spiritual, philosophical and beautiful objects you'll ever jam up your own asshole. And while the site makes no mention of it, we also imagine this is one of the easiest sex toys to explain away when discovered by children or nosy in-laws. That is, provided you're willing to wrap these shit jewels around you like a necklace to throw them off the scent.
#3. Jade Cock Ring
Via Cocodemerusa.com
Cost: $135
Not all cock rings are created equal, and don't let the fat cats in Big Cock Ring tell you otherwise. This jade ring, yours for just 135 dollars, is "carved into the shape of Ouroboros, the serpent that ate its own tail. Ouroboros is the symbol of rebirth and the continuity of life, therefore well-suited to adorn his talent."
Via Wikimedia Commons
Self-cannibalizing cocks are every man's secret fantasy.
We're not sure if it's supposed to be symbolic of sex or auto-fellatio, but either way using it will make your boner far more sophisticated than usual. Although the rich metaphor is somewhat diluted by the fact that it's immediately followed by instructions for use that hint at the many, many ways a cock ring could be disastrous for your junk. You're also explicitly warned that jade breaks easily, which is great because nothing enhances some hot, passionate lovemaking like the constant fear of jade shards getting lodged in your erection.
#2. Animal Masks
Via Cocodemerusa.com
Cost: $450
Role-playing in sex is all about pretending to be someone you never could be in reality, so we're assuming rich people would probably act out a lonely and desperate hump over a deep fryer between two fast food employees. That feels right, doesn't it? Well, whatever you think of, "terrifying silver dog" probably isn't what comes to mind, and maybe that's why you're not rich.
The silver dog headgear may seem expensive at 450 bucks each, but digging a little deeper through the product specs reveals it has adjustable ears. A feature like that is so far off our sexual radar we can't even begin to imagine how that would make sex better, but we're willing to trust that the rich know what they're doing.
And for anyone out there who's really more of a cat person, there are leather cat ears available instead:
Via Cocodemerusa.com
Excuse us for seven minutes -- the sexual heat is just too much.
While the cat ears aren't adjustable, the site still up-sells them as "great for dressing-up and going out."
To fucking where? Do rich people have some sort of highbrow furry convention we don't know about? Unless these masks aren't for rich people to wear at all. They're for rich people to put on poor people when they torture them for sport. Seriously, look at that model's thousand-yard stare and try to tell us she's in that headgear by choice.
Via Cocodemerusa.com
They couldn't even get a model for the leather dog ears.
#1. The Thrill Hammer
Cost: $2,000
"Thrill Hammer" sounds like the name of a high school band, but it's actually a "Teledildonic Machine" that honestly looks like a penis missile hidden inside a postmodern coffee table. The thrill hammer weighs 700 pounds, and could just as easily be the winning project at the rapist science fair as a high-end sex toy. Its description is a mix between a luxury car brochure, a pornographic film intro and a crazy hobo rant.
"It has been written that the thrill hammer inventor has probably produced more orgasms than the most prolific porn stars, male or female, and he's done it without even touching his subjects. How does he do it? By creating beautiful works of art that do what they are intended to do. Creating the world's best orgasms from the best of class sex machines."
Via dnn.thethrillhammer.com
We think it can also be used for ghostbusting.
Each machine is customized, but it seems that aesthetics always take a backseat to function, since they all look like steampunk nightmares. But hey, who are we to question a "brain trust of artisans and technologist (sic)" who are "exploring the fringes of sex technology"?
It's difficult to imagine an audience for these ... devices, but their creator says most of his customers are "older professionals making a couple hundred grand a year" who don't have time to date. Thanks, good sir, for making it so that the next time we visit our dentist we'll be picturing her getting railed by one of these monstrosities.

FROM NOTO -- Officials of the NOTO Arts District announce today the acquisition of property at 935 North Kansas Avenue for the District made possible by anonymous donors.
"We are thrilled with the acquisition of the former Post Office building on North Kansas Avenue. We are incredibly grateful to our donors for their vision in saving the building for the NOTO Arts District. The beauty of the building and the generous space combined with the historic value provides opportunities for a variety of significant programming for the community.
"It is our intention to spend the summer studying the most appropriate usage of the building. On behalf of the NOTO Board of Directors, we express our deep and sincere appreciation to the donors," said Anita Wolgast and John Hunter, co-chairs of the NOTO Arts District project.
A grand opening is planned for the fall of 2012, where the public will be invited to tour the building and participate in the programming. Because real estate transactions become public knowledge, the Board chose to make a short announcement at this time. In-depth information regarding the building, the donors and the actual plans for the building with be forthcoming with the grand opening press release.

Meeting at 8:30 on Wednesday. More advanced students are encouraged to come around 9:00. We'll break around 10. We'll start our first class on 6/24.
A bit of background on me:
I lived in both France and Quebec for about 10 years. I learned to speak French while living in both places, so the French I'll be teaching is very much how people talk. Also, because I learned French by hearing and speaking it, my French writing skills are craptastic, so I am planning to focus more on conversational French. If someone else is a wiz at writing French, speak up!
If you could write down your name and your level of French below that would be really helpful.
I'll post some more resources on this page shortly :) -- Laura
- Mitch I can sorta order food in French.
- Noah - interested, but probably won't make it on many Wednesdays for a while - I can get around ok in French, but would need a lot of practice to become fluent
- Billy - i've been out of practice since high school.
- Jeremy I can have simple conversations. I have one year of college French, plus several years of Spanish and three minus epsilon degrees in Linguistics, which makes me a good faker.

SASEBO NAVAL BASE, Japan -- Most USS Guardian sailors returned to their families Monday as the Navy continued salvage operations on their stricken minesweeper.
Navy officials would not speculate on the crew's future with the ship still stuck on Tubbataha Reef, a World Heritage Site off the coast of the Philippines. But they will remain together in Sasebo, their homeport, under their commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Mark Rice, and will train for "potential assignments" until further notice, CTF-76 commander Rear Admiral Jeffrey Harley told Stars and Stripes.
Rice and other technical experts off the ship remained on U.S. vessels near the Guardian to assist in salvage efforts.
"The salvage plan will determine the way ahead," Harley said, referring to potential repair plans for the grounded minesweeper and future tasking for its crew. "It's been a very special homecoming."
Harley said the Sasebo community had rallied around the sailors and made mental health and family support services available to them.
No one was injured when the Avenger-class ship ran aground around 2:25 a.m. on Jan. 17 while transiting the Sulu Sea after a port visit in Subic Bay. The Guardian's crew of 79 was removed the next day as a safety precaution.
On Friday, the U.S. Navy and their Philippine counterparts finished removing 15,000 gallons of fuel from the ship.
"Every hazard to the environment, we've been able to take off the ship," Harley said. "We've transitioned from the crisis phase to stabilization."
An investigation into the cause of the grounding is ongoing. Navy officials have said the ship could remain trapped on the reef for as much as two more weeks while they await the arrival of two contracted heavy-lift ships from Singapore. In the meantime, Harley said the Navy is looking at what effects being down one forward-deployed mine countermeasure ship might have on operations in the Pacific.
"Given the circumstances, I am very impressed at the way Guardian sailors came together and utilized their training, fighting to save the ship," Petty Officer 2nd Class Jeffrey Macatangay -- a damage controlman off the Guardian -- said in a CTF-76 Amphibious Force 7th Fleet statement Monday. "We are very thankful for the support and assistance we received from all those involved in bringing us home safely."

It's on his right nipple. Scroll down in this post on Evan Namerow's blog Dancing Perfectly Free to see what it looks like. I think it looks fine, but your mileage may vary. (I live where the East Village meets Union Square. In my neighborhood, Hall's tattoo would be considered a nice start.)
Now that I finally saw the tattoo - oh yes - he could EASILY dance the role of Apollo. The top of his costume - the sash - would easily cover that up. Add a little flesh colored make-up for safe guarding and you wouldn't even notice it was there. And even if NYCB was still performing the "Birth of Apollo" prologue the design of the tattoo is actually appropriate. Not only is it tastefully and elegantly design it depicts the sun and of course Apollo is the Sun God. Yes he has my permission to dance the role. LOL.

Upton Argues Obama Plans To Destroy America In The Name Of Global Warming
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, incoming energy chair Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) joined Americans For Prosperity (AFP) president Tim Phillips, a global warming denier, to support the lawsuits by global warming polluters against climate rules. One of the companies leading the charge against the Environmental Protection Agency's greenhouse gas endangerment finding is Koch Industries, the private pollution giant whose billionaire owners have been directing the Tea Party movement through its AFP front group.
Upton once considered a "moderate on environmental issues," but has worked hard to refashion himself as a hard-right defender of pollution in recent months. Some Tea Party groups tried to block Upton from taking the gavel of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, attacking his past support for energy-efficient light bulbs. Upton previously claimed that "climate change is a serious problem" and that "the world will be better off" if we reduced carbon emissions. However, in the course of the past two years — as he received $20,000 from Koch Industries — Upton has shifted to oppose not only cap-and-trade legislation but any form of limits on climate pollution whatsoever, instead supporting investigations against climate scientists and lawsuits against the EPA and its supposed "unconstitutional power grab that will kill millions of jobs":
April 2009: Climate change is a serious problem that necessitates serious solutions.
June 2009: We have a unique opportunity and a responsibility to reduce emissions and preserve our economy – the American public is desperate for solutions, but a national energy tax is not the answer.
December 2009: I think we can lower our emissions. I think the world will be better off if we did that, and we can do it without cap and trade.
January 2010: No matter what we did between now and 2050, it, there was no real science to verify that it would reduce the temperature rise that some predicted. And that's why we do need hearings.
December 2010: Moreover, the principal argument for a two-year delay is that it will allow Congress time to create its own plan for regulating carbon. This presumes that carbon is a problem in need of regulation. We are not convinced.
"We think the American consumer would prefer not to be skinned by Obama's EPA," Upton and Phillips wrote in the Wall Street Journal, invoking the grisly image of the president murdering his fellow citizens. The world would be better off if Upton went back to believing instead in serious solutions to serious problems.

23 Comments add a comment
And dead.
@cobracat03: Not dead, just added one to my cart (had to try it twice).
Got one too - agreed, not dead.
I just bought one from bensoutlet yesterday for eighty bucks more :(
Sold out now.
It is Dead
This is normal...not dead. If you keep at it more will be added throughout the day and people will not pay for ones added to their cart. They will continue to pop up. This happens every time they have a Flash sale. Patience and persistence is the key. Until a totally different item is added, some will still pop up.
I just picked one up, no hassle at all.
Says sold out. Dammit!!
And it's back.
One thing to note, the condition is listed as pre-owned.
@scootergptx: Pre-owned...is in the Original Post.
Read above your post...people have been saying sold out for hours and they keep coming. Information is in the posts.
Took me a few hundred refresh page, but I got one!
DAGNAMMIT! Bit the dust and got one at bensoutlet yesterday!
@scootergptx: Condition: Pre-owned
Included: Asus Tablet
Not Included: Ac Adapter, Usb Cable, Headphones, Cleaning Cloth, Carrying Case, Owners Manuals
Product Grade: 5 - Some scratches and/or signs of use
@vegassmitty: That is not all of them. Each one is different and must be examined as a separate sale. Please see the original post. One sells, another comes along, different grade, different included/not included items.
just snagged one for $149
@jearod: Where did you snag one for $149?
Posted site. Cowboom
actually now it is showing a 16gb model with the link posted. That's fine with me.
@jearod: You snagged a different model. Cowboom has sold out of the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 and replaced it with a lower-end model, the Asus TF101.
be aware this is the older version now, not the prime. This one has a tegra 2 instead of a tegra 3.
I am expiring this deal to prevent confusion!

I was looking through the "How To" forum and found several topics that contained broken or missing image links.
I realize that it is up to the original poster to keep these images uploaded or keep the links up to date, but that does not always happen due to different circumstances.
Has anyone thought about saving the images to one central location, whether it be the cub photo host (or other servers) soon after the post is made? I guess it would have to be be monitored by a select few individuals and that the links would also have to be edited accordingly within the posts.
Otherwise, I can see how some of the "How To" posts can be hard to follow for new members. But I also realize this would take a lot of time and server space that may not be available.
Just throwing out some ideas, I am willing to help if needed.

5 Simple Ideas That Could Make Travel (And Life) Way Easier
We always hear about how fast technology is moving. Your parents needed 18-wheel trucks and seven to 10 business days to move around the amount of media you can have on your phone in 15 minutes. But when it comes to moving people around, we're pretty much stuck exactly where we were back when we first figured out commercial air travel -- waiting in the same lines at the airport, honking at the same jerkoff in front of us in rush hour traffic. It's just one of those facts of life, right?
Actually, it doesn't have to be. We're sitting on some pretty revolutionary ways to greatly increase the speed at which we physically move from A to B. What's infuriating is that those breakthroughs are ridiculously simple stuff like ...
#5. A Better Way to Board a Plane
It's easy to dislike air travel. Crappy food, nonexistent leg space, hurtling thousands of feet above earth without a firm understanding of how physics is keeping you from plummeting to a nightmarish death -- all unpleasant. But whether you're scared of flying or sitting comfortably in first class, the boarding process has an uncanny way of merging the collective internal monologue of everyone onboard into one harmonious "Fuck thiiiiiiiiiis." The stampede, the pileup. The motionless frustration as everyone tries to scramble for their seats with all the speed and grace of a tectonic plate. It's a miserable experience for anyone who doesn't love having their nose in a random sampling of khaki-clad butts and crotches.
For every one of these there are 40 middle-aged male sales reps who smell like blue cheese.
If a better way to board a plane existed, the airlines would surely have jumped at the opportunity. Surely, they don't enjoy starting every takeoff with a cabin full of flustered, stressed-out passengers. Or maybe they do.
Computer simulations and real-world tests have shown that the current system of boarding -- back rows first -- is one of the worst possible ways to board a plane. It makes sense. Everyone is trying to use the same tiny bit of space to put their bags in the overhead compartment or get to their window seats. And since two people generally can't pass through each other, this causes areas of intense congestion where total strangers are forced to use eye contact and polite small talk to try to untangle complex knots of human movement.
She eventually married the sweat patch to avoid shaming her family any further.
Even the "just get in and sit wherever" school of boarding practiced by some budget airlines is quicker and easier. It seems like that would be less efficient if you view humans as a bunch of automated windup toys. In practice, humans use their twin faculties of intelligence and aversion to dry humping strangers to make efficient seating decisions.
The best solution has been developed by one Dr. Jason Steffen, an Illinois astrophysicist. His method proposes that airlines should board the window seats first, then the middle seats, then the aisle seats, starting first with the even rows and then the odds. With people at the front and back of the plane boarding at the same time, everyone's able to spread out and focus on getting to their goddamn seat already. This YouTube video shows the method in action. The most noticeable thing is how easy it is for people to move around each other in the center aisle when everyone's not stuffing their luggage into the same overhead luggage compartment at the same moment. Instead, people who are far enough from each other to do jumping jacks are putting their luggage up at the same time.
Leaving you nothing to sniff except each others' fear and leaky engine oil.
Even more important is what you don't see in this version of the boarding process:
Unless it's a prison flight.
So how bad does science beat the airlines at human Tetris? Tests show the scientific method actually halves the boarding time. Imagine how much time that could have saved, how many crotches and butts that could have saved your face from, and then try not to punch something.
So why won't the airlines adopt Steffen's method, if it's so much better? This could be due to any number of things, such as people not being so keen on buying first class tickets if flying coach was so fluent. But the most reasonable explanation is they think the system is too complicated for people to understand.
"Go left for first class, right for branding and slaughter."
Remember that the next time you're doing the sardine with a few hundred fellow passengers -- the people running the airline are choosing to sit on the system that would avoid all the hassle, because they think you're too dumb to deserve it.
#4. Make Yellow Lights One Second Longer
What can be done in a second?
Generally, not much. It takes the fastest man in the world almost 10 of them just to run the 100-meter dash. Nothing meaningful can be achieved in one second. You'll survive longer with your head severed.
"Finally, some me time."
Against this background, a plan to make yellow lights one second longer doesn't sound exactly revolutionary. But what if we told you it might go a long way toward keeping your head from getting severed -- by an incoming semi, no less?
BAM! Segue whiplash!
You see, the problem is that intersections are very confusing. With all that turning, it can get really difficult to know where you are going, let alone to avoid collisions with other equally confused people. This is where the yellow lights come in. They're often so short that you don't even get a fraction of a second between red light and being aggressively honked at by everyone behind you. So you rush into the traffic without having assessed the situation properly -- and BAM! Semi.
According to a 2004 Texas Transportation Institute study, a mere extra second in a situation like this would reduce collisions by a very respectable average of 40 percent. It works both ways, too. Going from red to green, the extra yellow second gives us more time to figure out the intersection and observe roadside hazards. Going from green to red, it gives us more reaction time and thus reduces the running of red lights.
"Yes! Another victory, another delay on the road to suicide."
Hey, wait a second. If a measly second can really make that much difference, why do most traffic lights still feature yellow lights quicker than a roadrunner on speed? If a fix is this easy, wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest to implement it ASAP?
Well, no. Turns out, keeping yellow lights short and sweet equals big time dough. For cities using red light cameras, drivers running the lights represent a fairly substantial chunk of revenue. In Dallas, for instance, the cameras have been known to raise $700,000 in fines ... within a few months. For this reason, yellow traffic lights in such cities actually tend to be quietly calibrated even quicker than usual.
"Body-strewn highways may seem inconvenient, but they actually act as pretty effective speed bumps."
#3. Get Rid of Left Turns
It turns out Derek Zoolander isn't the only one who can only turn right. Left turns account for most of the 2.4 million accidents that happen each year at intersections. That's not entirely surprising for anyone who's ever sat through an entire cycle of green lights waiting for the best time to lunge left. But unless you're a traffic engineer, you probably don't realize just how much left turns screw with our daily commute and general safety.
"We've lived our whole lives in here. Dad says our next holiday will be in the trunk."
They're such a statistical problem that UPS programmed their trucks' routes and navigation software to never make them. Not only did it make the routes safer, it actually saved the company enough time to deliver an additional 325,000 packages the first year they put the policy in place. Yes, going out of their way to avoid left turns actually saved them time.
OK, but what about those of us who aren't couriered about by a fleet of delivery trucks? Sometimes the place we're going is on the other side of the stream of cars speeding past our left shoulder, and there's no way around it.
That's why traffic engineers have been taking the unorthodox step of trying to eliminate the left turn by redesigning the way roads intersect with one another. They've tried loop-based designs like the Michigan Left and New Jersey Jughandle, which failed to catch on as anything other than names for regional sexual maneuvers. They even tried something that looks like it would require a team of air traffic controllers. But when it comes to all-right-turn intersections, nobody's been able to beat the European free-for-all known as the roundabout.
Of course, such laissez-faire intersections might work in Europe, where conflict avoidance is the only thing they take more seriously than soccer. Here in America, we have things called rules, and something called technology, and the Ghostbusters, who taught us that if something is deadly, you throw electricity at it until it begs for mercy.
Nice try, oncoming traffic.
Actually, American intersections that got rid of left turns by converting traffic lights and four-way stops into roundabouts became almost twice as safe and efficient. A 2005 study found that roundabouts reduced rush hour delays over left-turn-reliant intersections by up to 93 percent, and congestion by up to 83 percent. A 2000 study that focused on safety saw a 38 percent reduction in total crash rates and a massive 90 percent reduction in crashes that resulted in either life-threatening or fatal injuries. The reason for this drop is quite simple: By using a roundabout, there are fewer directions from which you can get hit by a fellow driver, because all the cars are going the same way. It may feel more stressful, but your stress is focused on the one thing that matters (hint, it's not the text you're writing to a friend while waiting for the light to turn). There's also the fact that roundabouts require you to slow down, as opposed to yellow lights, which require you to speed up to get through them before your license plate gets photographed.
Unfortunately, roundabouts are more stressful than being told what to do by blinking lights. This makes them extremely unpopular with Americans who aren't politicians looking for something to scream about. Drivers usually come around once they're in place, and saving everyone time and money (by reducing your reliance on the brakes, they can also reduce annual fuel consumption at the intersection by more than 20,000 gallons).
And you can use the money you'll save to drink away the stress of driving!
American drivers can expect to see more of them just as soon as traffic engineers are able to wrestle budget control from the cold dead hands of the people who need to get reelected.

Provide a Suitable Environment and Materials
It's important to provide your child a quiet, well-lit space, away from distractions and with all the right study materials — paper, pens and pencils, a dictionary, a desk or large table, and whatever else he may need to be comfortable yet productive. Right after school, have your child look over his assignments to see what textbooks and materials he needs. We've all had to make those last-minute runs to the store for a protractor or poster board, or back to school for a book left in the locker — no fun!

Bowe Out Versus Raiders, Could Miss Rest Of Season
Posted: 4:18 PM Dec 10, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
Bowe Injured
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe will miss next weekend's game at Oakland with a rib injury, and coach Romeo Crennel said Monday that it's possible Kansas City's leading receiver could be out the rest of the year.
Bowe went to the locker room after the first quarter of Sunday's loss in Cleveland with what the team announced as a rib issue. He didn't return.
Bowe, who is playing this season on a $9.5 million contract after getting franchised by the Chiefs, is once again leading the team in receptions. He has 59 catches for 801 yards and three touchdowns.
Crennel said safeties Abe Elam (quadriceps) and Kendrick Lewis (shoulder), left tackle Branden Albert (back) and running back Cyrus Gray (neck) will receive treatment before deciding whether they can play Oakland.

Larry McCue has been helping people change their lives at the Monroe County Jail for the last seven years.
"I know how many have been saved, 54. I've made over 340 visits and I have seen over 2,000 people."
But his weekly sermon came to a halt almost two months ago after the jailer told him he couldn't come back following an altercation between a couple inmates.
"He said I'm gonna shut all preachers down. He did for one week. Then the next week, Church of Christ came. As far as I know, that preacher has come four or five times. That's the only denomination the jailer has let in."
The Monroe Baptist Association is circulating a petition in local churches. So far McCue says they've collected hundreds of signatures from people who believe he should be allowed back in the jail.
"I'd like to have that hour of service back because the Lord has blessed me being able to see inmates. They need spiritual guidance too.
But if that doesn't happen, McCue says it won't stop him from helping others turn their lives around.
WBKO contacted the jailer who wouldn't comment on the issue. County officials tell us he's working on a rotating schedule for all the ministers and the matter should be settled soon.

I was discussing with a student today the nature of the non-commutativity of cup-product at the level of cochains. In trying to explain what happens, I came up with the following statement.
Theorem. Fix a commutative ring $R$. Suppose $F:\mathrm{Top}^{\mathrm{op}}\to \mathrm{cDGA}_R$ is a contravariant functor from spaces to commutative DGAs over $R$, such that $X\mapsto H^*(F(X))$ is ordinary cohomology with coefficents in $R$. Then $R$ contains $\mathbb{Q}$ as a subring.
I'm pretty sure this "Theorem" is true. But I don't have a proof at hand.
The question is: does anyone have a proof, or know of one in the literature? I'm particularly interested in seeing a proof which is relatively "elementary", in the sense of not requiring much more heavy machinery than is needed in order to make the statement.
Added. Tyler points out in his answer that this can't be true as stated. We should add a hypothesis, such as: F takes homotopy pushouts of spaces to homotopy pullbacks of chain complexes.
