Let $k$ be a field of char $0$ and let $\mathbb{Z}$ act on $\mathbb{A}^1_k$ by the action induced by $G\to\mathrm{Aut}_k(k[X]), n\mapsto X+n$. It is rather easy to show that the orbit space $\mathbb{A}^1_k/\mathbb{Z}$ is just $\mathrm{Spec}(k)$. At least to me this is surprising at the moment since dividing out the analogue action of $\mathbb{Z}$ on the topological spaces $\mathbb{R}$ resp. $\mathbb{C}$ gives the sphere $S^1$ (up to homotopy).
Q.: Is that simply a pathological example of a categorical quotient or is there a geometric explanation why this is the right orbit space?

Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz, who is a member of the security cabinet, on Tuesday night labeled the current wave of violence a "war." "We are in the midst of a war against ISIS-style Muslim extremist terror," Katz told Channel 2. "We are in an emergency situation. There are murderers here who are motivated by hatred and we cannot allow Jews to continue to get harmed. There is an intifada of incitement. We must restore deterrence, so I must ask all the higher than thou who scold us to understand our current reality."

I recently watched a clip on Discovery Channel, where I saw deer crossing a river full of crocodiles, ignoring the fact that some of them would have been killed doing so.
Is there a possible evolutionary reason for this behaviour?
The reason for their behavior is that exactly the fact that even though some of them do indeed get killed, most of them survive -- what you have said. The deer cross the river because that allows for the better continuation of the species rather than if they had stayed on the original side of the river. You could think of it this way: If there was a crowd of 5000 people crossing a field of grass and aliens were abducting them one by one, the actual chances of them abducting you are rather little.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After a week layoff, Anderson University women's tennis returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Conference Carolinas member Converse at Max Grubbs Memorial Courts. First serve is set for 10 a.m.
The Trojans
After capturing an 8-1 victory over South Atlantic Conference opponent Mars Hill on Saturday, AU is an even 2-2 in conference play and 2-4 overall. With a win on Saturday, Anderson would post its first winning streak of the 2014 campaign and first since winning four in a row towards the end of last year.
In its last match against the Lions, Anderson swept the doubles round and captured five singles matches to seal the win. Junior Karen Ching recorded AU's lone singles setback, dropping her first singles match after a four-match winning streak. The longest singles winning streak now belongs to senior Avery Owens, who has captured three-straight wins after beginning the year with three straight losses.
In doubles this season, Anderson's No. 1 team of Owens and Ching is 3-3 for the season after being named to the annual Preseason All-SAC First Team list. The duo is coming off an 8-1 win over MHU's tandem of Tatiana Dualiby and Lucy McLauren.
The Valkyries
Converse enters the weekend with a 2-6 overall record and a two-match losing streak, being swept by SAC opponents Queens and Tusculum in its last two matches. Prior to their last two contests, the Valkyries grabbed two straight victories over Coker (5-4) and Spartanburg Methodist (9-0). Despite the short winning streak, Converse has failed to score a team point in all six losses this season.
In the Valkyries' 5-4 win at Coker earlier this season, the visitors swept the doubles round and captured the needed two singles matches for the win. The bottom of the Converse lineup, consisting of Laura Morales (No. 5) and Tanishia Thomas (No. 6) sealed the win with straight-set victories. Morales captured the final set for Coker's Rachel Soloman, 7-5, after winning the opening set, 6-4.
The Series
Last season, Anderson and Converse rekindled its long-standing rivalry dating back to when the teams were members of Conference Carolinas. The meeting in 2013 mark the first time AU and Converse met since the Black and Gold moved to the SAC prior to the 2011 season. The Trojans came away with a 9-0 win over the Valkyries on April 14, 2013.

Why do the Sifrei Eme"s (i.e. Job, Proverbs, Psalms) have cantillation marks?
Are they read to a tune or is it just punctuation for personal usage?
Have they ever been read publicly with the tune?
(See here for what inspired me to ask this.)
Why do the Sifrei Eme"s (i.e. Job, Proverbs, Psalms) have cantillation marks?
Are they read to a tune or is it just punctuation for personal usage?
Have they ever been read publicly with the tune?
(See here for what inspired me to ask this.)
Many sephardim still have a tradition as to the melody of the ta'amei emet. You can buy recordings of the Moroccan tradition from http://www.tht.co.il/default.asp. If you've visited sepharadi synagogues before, you may recognize the melody -- we use it for Kabbalat Shabbat.
As for the question of why they have ta'amim: the books of the Tanach need some sort of Masoretic punctuation so that we can understand the proper grammatical reading of the text. Whether we have a melody for those ta'amim is really a separate issue. It pays great dividends to take some time to read about the functions of the different ta'amim.
Also, there's a widespread Sephardic custom to read the Book of Iyov publicly on Tisha BeAv. I don't know whether they use the trop, but I would assume that they do, like any other public reading.
I believe the Syrian community has a tradition of reciting the Sifrei Emet with trope.
They had a tune. The Yemenites still have a tradition for how to sing Tehillim.
In Eretz Yisrael you can pass by Yemenite Batei Kinasiyoth ("th" intentional) and still hear the children singing Tehillim with the trop.
Indeed, in a number of places here in Israel, Tehillim are read publicly on a daily basis from Tehillim scrolls written on parchment. According to many authorities, there is also a special bracha that is to be recited prior to reading material from Ketuvim out of a parchment scroll: ברוך אתה ה' א-להינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וציונו לקרוא בכתבי הקודש (see for instance Masechet Soferim, chapter 14).
For a video of a public reading of Tehillim, with cantillation according to the taamei emet (Zilberman style), and with the aforementioned bracha, see here.
R' Mordechai Perlman, during his time at the Zilberman Kollel in Jerusalem, produced an instructional CD in which he teaches the cantillation of sifrei emet (according to the Zilberman style). R' Perlman has released his CD into the public domain; here is a download link for his CD.
The GRA yeshiva in Lakewood and Israel still teach the Kids with the TRUP for Thillim.

"Although we do not know how the Classical Maya interpreted the prophetic culmination of their Long Count, Carl Johan Calleman has elaborated a meticulously exact fractal model of time from the Mayan calendar, in which human consciousness evolves through nine "Underworlds," each twenty times faster in linear time than the previous one. Each underworld passes through a thirteen-stage process of alternating light and dark energy currents -- or seven "days" and six "nights" of creation -- culminating in a new level of realization. According to Calleman's model, sometime around the year 2008 -- the "fifth night" of the current underworld, ruled by the energies of Tezcatlipoca, the jaguar god of night and black magic -- our current socioeconomic system will suffer a drastic and irrevocable collapse. The primary catalyst for this collapse could be an approaching energy crisis. A report recently issued by the U.S. Department of Energy states: "Previous energy transitions (wood to coal and coal to oil) were gradual and evolutionary; oil peaking will be abrupt and revolutionary." According to a 2005 feature in The New York Times Magazine: "The consequences of an actual shortfall of supply would be immense." As Peter Maass reported, "When a crisis comes -- whether in a year or two or ten -- it will be all the more painful because we will have done little or nothing to prepare for it."

I'm trying to find any articles/experiences on this. I tried using Pomodoro to motivate myself to have a task list and read in 25 minute blocks without getting distracted. (This was a weeklong project.) It worked well. Both for forcing me to take breaks and forcing me to focus. And while it was useful for my purposes, I feel like I missed something essential.
It's ok to follow only a few rules of Pomodoro so long as you are doing everything you're supposed to do. The technique is a tool not an end, which means it doesn't matter if you didn't use the tool to it's full potential as long as it's already meeting your needs. Just keep in mind you can always refer to the book when your productivity stagnates and you want try new things to improve it.
So, if I understand this right, each time that you do a task you just do the task for 25 minutes and then stop until you want to do another task at a later time? To become more productive Pomodoro suggests to only keep pauses of 5 minutes and a longer pause each few pomodoros...
Please note that there is a PDF of The Pomodoro Technique which goes into fine details on how The Pomodoro Technique works and how to implement it in your life...
I think one way to solve it might be to add "planning" ,"reconciliation", "research" tasks in task's list. I'm having "planning" task as my first task every day,and spend as much pomodori as I want to make clear list of "tasks/next actions" and to see where project is going.

Men's Golf Ninth at Tennessee River RumbleApril 7, 2014
LOUDEN, Tenn. – Paced by senior Sean Shelton's 5-over-par 77, the Anderson University men's golf team is in ninth place following opening-round action at the Tennessee River Rumble Intercollegiate, hosted by Lincoln Memorial at the par 72, 7,163-yard Tennessee National Golf Club.
North Greenville (286) leads the two-day event by 12 shots over Lee University (298), while the host Railsplitters are five shots further back after an opening-round 303. Walters State Community College (304) is in fourth, with Brevard (305) in fifth.
Lenoir-Rhyne (312), Trevecca Nazarene (314), the LMU "Blue" squad (319), Anderson (329) and the LMU "Gray" squad (335) rounded out the field.
Shelton's team-best effort earned him a share of 19th place, while sophomore David Wachter carded a 10-over-par 82 and enters Tuesday's final round in a three-way tie for 41st.

I know two of the biggest advantages of using open ID is that users don't have to remember yet another user name/ password and that you don't have to worry about confirmation email messages ending up in spam or not being sent at all. I'm wondering what the drawbacks are for using Open ID? Are they're any?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Well the biggest drawback is that is hellishly complex and implemented slightly differently on each provider. Some return email addresses via sreg, some via ax and some not at all. At the base of it all it gives you is authentication, meaning it lets you know that somebody is who they said they are.
There is also the problem of trust.
For example:
Say I have an openid named http://waffles.com it may tell you that my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com if you trust the openid provider all is fine, but keep in mind that anyone can run an openid server. So you end up whitelisting providers which makes things more complicated.
The other big problem is that some non-savvy users are afraid of open id and do not understand it, they are used to traditional sign up / on and will not consider anything else.
The disadvantage is the same as its greatest strength. There are three parties involved:
(this is of course the whole point; without a common third party there can't even be global logins.)
The traditional system:
I can't think of any.
It also takes the burden off of SOFU from having to host a user name / password database, send authentication emails, verify signups, etc.
Any disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.
There are some security implications. See for example the accepted answer to "Are there any security risks associated with me using OpenID as the authentication method on my site?" (on Stack Overflow).
Well, I can tell you one huge problem with OpenID -- Stack Exchange seems to have dropped support for it. A month or so ago, I found myself unable to log in using my 1id login. That problem got fixed, but as of today, I found myself unable to sign up on other stack exchange properties (like this one).
I finally created a conventional sign up on Stack Exchange just so I could post to meta.

"The future health of the nation will be determined to a large extent by how effectively we work with communities to reduce and eliminate healthy disparities between non-minority and minority populations experiencing disproportionate burdens of disease, disability, and premature death."
~ Guiding Principle for Improving Minority Health CDC Office of Minority HealthThe gap between immunization rates in minority and white populations has been narrowed, but there are still disparities among many racial, ethnic, and underserved populations. The data graph below shows immunization coverage among California's children by race/ethnicity.California Kindergarten Immunization Rates by Race
In 2007, the percent of kindergarten students at 24 months of age with the 4:3:1 vaccine series was 76.6+4.2% among white children, 75.0+2.4% among Hispanic children, 72.0+8.4% among African American children, and 81.8+6.5% among Asian children. The Kindergarten Retrospective Survey is one of the only sources of information on subpopulations of African American and Asian children and data suggest a serious and persistent disparity in immunization coverage among African American children.

Automotive Dealership Owners and Sales Managers
Automotive dealership owners are proprietors of retail businesses that sell cars exclusively from one or two manufacturers. Most dealerships are independently or family-owned franchises of an automotive manufacturer, such as Ford Motor Company or General Motors. In addition to retail services, dealerships provide maintenance services, repair services, and financing. Sales managers coordinate and oversee the performance of sales staff so they meet monthly sales quotas set by the dealership. Approximately 25,000 sales managers are employed at automobile dealerships in the United States.

This is a two part question. I need both parts addressed for a complete answer.
Part I
I have a .NET 4.5 desktop app and I'm wondering if I can deploy it to Windows XP if, within "Requirements" in the app's Installshield project, I tick the ".NET 4.0 Full Package is Installed" checkbox instead of the ".NET 4.5 Full Package is Installed" one.
I read here that:
You can compile an application for .NET 4.5 and run it on the 4.0 runtime – that is until you hit a new feature that doesn't exist on 4.0. At which point the app bombs at runtime. Say you write some code that is mostly .NET 4.0, but only has a few of the new features of .NET 4.5 like aync/await buried deep in the bowels of the application where it only fires occasionally. .NET will happily start your application and run everything 4.0 fine, until it hits that 4.5 code – and then crash unceremoniously at runtime.
So I know what the ability of my app to run on Windows XP with .NET 4.0 depends on. Let's assume for this question that my app won't crash as described in the above quote.
Part II
I also need to know what effect choosing ".NET 4.0 Full Package is Installed" instead of ".NET 4.5 Full Package is Installed" will have when installing the app onto a machine with .NET 4.5, but not .NET 4.0, installed. Will the Installshield installer see the installed .NET 4.5 package as .NET 4.0 and thus not complain? Or will it be picky and block the app's installation since specifically .NET 4.0 is not installed?

"明天你都六点起床不起床?" is not a valid sentence in Chinese.
If we remove 都, and make it "明天你六点起床不起床?", it is valid but a little awkward. Because we usually don't say things like "起床不起床?", "吃饭不吃饭?", "睡觉不睡觉?", "学习不学习?" etc. when asking questions. The point here is that we normally don't repeat the whole word before and after 不 in questions, instead we simplify it.
Note: It is ok to repeat the whole word before and after 不 in declarative statements, like 老师喜欢不喜欢你,我真的觉得不是什么问题. While it can also been simpified as 老师喜不喜欢你,我真的觉得不是什么问题.
Here is the natual way to say it in Chinese:
Back to your question, "明天你都六点起床不起床?" is not correct.
If you are asking a person of his/her get-up time in the moring, you would say:
If the listener usually gets up at 7 o'clock, and you want to know if that person plans to get up at 6 o'clock tommorow morning, then you can say:
你会明天早上六点起床吗? (Will you wake up at 6am tomorrow?)
If I were to salvage your question so it at least makes sense, it'd be:
明天六点,你起床不起床? (Tomorrow at 6am, will you wake up or not?)

The Hahn–Banach theorem states that: Given a sublinear functional $S: V \rightarrow \mathbb R$, if $T: U \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is a linear functional on a linear subspace $U \subseteq V$ that is dominated by $S$ on $U$, then there exists a linear extension of $T$ to $V$ that is dominated by $S$ on $V$.
Now, let us consider a symmetric multisublinear (positively homogeneous and subadditive in every component) continous functional $S: V\times\cdots\times V \rightarrow\mathbb R$ satisfying some good additionnal assumptions and a symmetric multilinear continous functional $T: U\times\cdots\times U \rightarrow \mathbb R$ that is dominated by $S$ on $U\times\cdots\times U$. Does there exist an extension of $T$ to $V\times\cdots\times V$ that is dominated by $S$ on $V\times\cdots\times V$?

Blue Ridge Parkway weather forecast sites launched
Published: Tuesday, November 5, 2013 at 12:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 5, 2013 at 12:18 p.m.
ASHEVILLE (AP) — People who want to visit the Blue Ridge Parkway in the winter will be able to check weather forecasts made specifically for the road.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation worked with the parkway and two other groups to set up BRPweather.com and BRPwebcams.org. They hope visitors will use the sites so they avoid being stopped by gates and signs reading "parkway closed for winter weather."
The sites will monitor the weather on the 469-mile parkway, which stretches from the Smokies in Cherokee to Shenandoah National Park in Waynesboro, Va.
The other groups working on the project are Appalachian State University and RaysWeather.com.
The sites went live Nov. 1. They include live weather as well as a seven-day forecast written by five forecasters.

GRAYSON COUNTY, Tex. -- Thanksgiving means it's time to give thanks for everyone and everything around you. So, we went out and asked the folks in town, "What are you thankful for?"
The consensus answer we received was free food and family.
What about those restaurants and churches giving away Turkey Day dinner?
"It's just our way of giving back to our community. We've been here a long time. The Sherman/Denison community has been great supporting our restaurant," Blue Door Cafe Owner Venu Menon says.
"We've been preparing for the last month, month-and-a-half. It makes us happy to know we're making a difference in the community, world and neighborhood," Trinity United Methodist Church Pastor Dan Gurley says.
All the places we visited Thursday had tons of people, some volunteering their time, some cooking, some serving food and the rest eating with families and friends.
So why do they do it?
"Everybody that comes out, my family, wait staff, people in the kitchen are all volunteers and just want to come out and do something to give back on Thanksgiving," Venu adds.
And what if they run out?
"I don't think we're gonna' run out of food. Send it home with them. Go back for seconds, thirds, fourths. However many times; go back until they get full," Pastor Gurley says.
Everywhere we went, they told us it's great to spend their Thanksgiving helping out.
"I've seen some people for 10 years straight now, and this is their family, sort of. They come out and see the same people waiting on them. Gives a good sense of connection and we're all from the same place. We're humans," Venu says.
Pastor Gurley agrees, "It makes you feel great, knowing you make a difference in at least one person's life; makes it all worth it."

How to Block MySpace Users
5 of 8 in Series: The Essentials of Staying Safe on MySpace
You can block other MySpace users so that the person can no longer contact you at all through MySpace. That means (s)he can't comment your page — or send you any message that you actually receive.
If you block users who are in your Friend List, they're removed. If they send out a bulletin, it won't show up in your Bulletin Space. Blocked means blocked out — they'll be cut off completely from communicating with you via MySpace.
Other users don't know when you block them; they have no idea what blocked lists they are on. All they might notice (if they get a clue) is that you aren't answering.
If you block someone, that person can still view your profile unless you have it set to private. If the blocked person creates a different account on MySpace, he can use the new account to contact you — and if that happens, just block the new account as well.
If you're ready to add someone to your Blocked Users list, follow these steps to make sure you don't have to deal with that person on MySpace ever again.
Go to the MySpace profile of the person you want to block.
The only place to block a user is directly from her profile.
You can block a user even if they have their profile set to private.
Locate the Block User link in the user's Contact box.
After you find the profile of the user you want to block, locate her Block User link. It's located in the user's Contact box on her profile page.
Click the Block User link and confirm that you want to block the user.
After you click the Block User link, MySpace will ask you, Are you sure you want to block this user? If you do, click OK.
Confirm the blocked user . . . again.
Even after you click OK for the prompt in the previous step, MySpace will ask you once more, Are you sure? If you still want to go through with it, click the OK button, and the user will be officially blocked.

|Assistant Coach
|Alma Mater:
|3 Years
Scott Phelps came to Dartmouth prior to the start of the 2012-13 academic year.
A former assistant coach at the University of Texas, Phelps will assist the Big Green coaching staff in day-to-day operations, while working closely with student-athletes on both the men's and women's sides.
In his first season with the Green and White, Phelps was a key member of the staff working with middle distance and distance runners. First-Team All-Ivy League showings from Will Geoghegan '15 and Phil Royer '13 highlighted Phelps' first Heptagonal Cross Country meet in November 2012.
As a member of the Longhorns' staff for two years, Phelps was a part of a cross country program that reached the National Championship meet in consecutive seasons.
In both years, Texas produced the top freshman finisher; a product of Phelps' guidance throughout the fall.
During his time in the Lone Star State, Phelps also contributed to the men's indoor and outdoor track & field teams that finished third nationally in the Program of the Year field.
His time in Austin also saw Phelps work directly with two All-Americans and All-Big 12 Performers as well as help the coaching staff produce the nation's top recruiting class in 2011.
A 2010 graduate of the University of Illinois, Phelps was a four-year letterwinner in all three seasons of competition.

Heat get rings, then win over Celtics
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James limped off with leg cramps two times in the second half. He wasn't worried about the outcome. By now, he knows the depth of the Miami Heat roster. And on ring night, there was no way the reigning NBA champions were going to have their party spoiled.

Is there a reason that grave sites and/or markers can not be seen on Find-A-Grave? I am somewhat confused, as I thought that was the reason for find-a-grave. I looked for years to find my biological grandfather. I drove 14 hours to visit a plot of land that did not even have a marker and the picture was taken off. Could you please explain this for me?
Sadly disappointed,

Thomas Moran
Hi Mike, if this is the same Thomas he was my grandfather on my father's side. They lived in Virginia and he was a farmer married to Ruth Nancy Kitchen. They had 4 boys and the first was my father Thomas Jr.
If it's the right Thomas, I went to his funeral when I was 17. There was a 21 gun salute. If we are related tell me more about the connection.
Thank you, Judy Moran Lohr

I am removing pictures of the cemetery entrance from these two pages. I added these names, they are my husband's grandparents, and when I added them it had been over 25 years and nothing had been entered. If I decide to put pictures up it will be of the marker or of them at their 60 wedding anniversary, which took place in 1980 (May)

At a private happy hour at Zadok's, guests munched on tasty macarons provided by Petite Sweets and browsed collections by top bauble brands such as Harry Winston, Finn, Marco Bicego, Heather B. Moore, Topall and others. Proceeds from the event benefited the Houston chapter of Covenant House, a nonprofit which offers homeless and runaway youth a safe haven. Covenant House's Julie and Jay Rogers were on hand, and made the announcement that nearly $1 million was raised at the organization's 30th anniversary gala in the spring.

The title says it all.
A very similar question was asked and answered about linear groups, but none of the counterexamples are algebraic: Are extensions of linear groups linear?
If $A$, $B$ are affine and there is a rational section of $C \to A$ in $1 \to B \to C \to A \to 1$, then $C \to A$ is affine, so $C$ is affine. But if not?

According to a hilarious sheriff's report from Naples, FL, the newest designer drug for America's kidlings is called Jenkem. It is also probably a hoax. It's allegedly made by fermenting raw sewage. How would you create Jenkem? It's just like making Sun Tea!
Fecal matter and urine are placed in a bottle or jar and covered most commonly with a balloon. The container is then placed in a sunny area for several hours or days until fermented. The contents of the container will separate and release a gas, which is captured in the balloon....Once ingested the onset of the high takes approximately 10 seconds with the most severe hallucinations happening in approximately 20 minutes.Though the feeling is described by these literate scholars of tomorrow as "being out of it and talking to dead people." There are some downsides, of course. "All subjects who used the Jenkem disliked the taste of sewage in their mouths and the fact that the taste continued for several days."

The 5 Most Mind-Blowing Acts of Battlefield Mercy in History
#2. Nazi U-Boats Blow Up a Passenger Liner and Then Save the Survivors
Yes, the Nazis make this list twice.
"Compared to those other mass-murdering, genocidal lunatics, you guys are alright."
In World War II, German U-boats were tasked with sinking freighters and other supply ships based on the theory that countries with no food, supplies or fuel tend to surrender quickly. So, one night in 1943, the captain of U-156 noticed a rather large ship, and knowing he wasn't there to watch ships go by, ordered it torpedoed.
He was he surprised to find out it was not a freighter or a military ship, but a civilian ocean liner called the Laconia. It was full of civilians and Italian POWs.
Picture taken by Oblt. z. S. Leopold Schuhmacher
A little difficult to explain to the PR department, even for Nazis.
The crew of U-156 then did something extraordinary: They surfaced and began picking up survivors. They were soon joined by U-506 and, at the order of Admiral Karl Donitz, two additional U-boats. Even with all these subs, there were still plenty of people in the water. So the Germans did something even more amazing: They offered safe passage to Allied merchants who came to pick up survivors. Indeed, the Brits were even sending ships to pick up folks.
Nobody bothered telling that to one of the U.S. anti-submarine bomber squadrons that regularly patrolled the area. When one of the pilots radioed back about U-boats on the surface towing lifeboats crowded with people, the squadron commander figured it must be either a trick or yet another party he wasn't invited to. Accordingly he told the pilot to bomb the subs, which the pilot attempted unsuccessfully. We like to think it's because he knew his commander was probably wrong and missed on purpose. The U-boats submerged, having significantly assisted in the rescue of the Laconia survivors.
"We can't start killing Nazis the one time they aren't acting like dicks."
This sort of thing wasn't an isolated incident. In the time that the German Admiral Donitz served (he would eventually become the German Navy Commander-in-Chief), it wasn't unusual for the U-boats to surface near any surviving lifeboats and pass out food, water and nautical maps. Though they'd specifically been ordered not to do this kind of thing by their government, they did it anyway, and Donitz unofficially sanctioned it.
After the war, Donitz was brought up on charges at the Nuremberg trials, along with his comrades. Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz was sitting in with the good guys, and had also been a submariner. Though Nimitz didn't particularly like Donitz, he wasn't gonna just sit by and watch his opposite number get hanged simply for being good at his job.
Even Nazis who look like your math teacher aren't necessarily evil.
When guilt was determined and sentences were handed down, Donitz received 10 years in prison rather than the customary death penalty. As far as defendants went at the trials, he got off with the least punishment because his former enemy was able to show that Donitz had been doing a legitimate military job. And though the "I was just following orders" excuses given by folks like Adolf Eichmann didn't fly, Donitz's compassionate U-boat rescue policy earned him a few brownie points in the end.
#1. A British Soldier Spares a Young Hitler
Would you ever shoot someone, even if it meant not doing so would lead to some of the worst bloodshed of the century?
"It's the end of the road for you, Bob Saget."
We previously mentioned this event in passing; the story takes place during World War I, near the occupied French town of Marcoing. British soldier Henry Tandey, who was just a private, found himself and his regiment under heavy machine gun fire from German forces. Tandey, not being one to let such little things as being heavily fired upon bog him down, made his way forward and secured the machine gun nest for the Brits.
Pushing on, they came upon a bridge that had been somewhat disassembled, making vehicle traffic over it impossible. On the other side was, of course, more enemy soldiers with machine guns. The only way out was with major reinforcements or a miracle. Or failing either of those, an incredibly brave soldier with a death wish. Tandey crawled up to the bridge, and with Germans firing upon him, he managed to replace the missing planks to allow passage. Despite being hit a couple of times himself, he continued to advance into the town.
"How many bullets could nerdy old Germany possibly have?"
With the battle winding down, he stopped long enough to notice a wounded German soldier suddenly emerging from some bushes. Tandey raised his rifle to drop the guy like a bad habit. Being injured in the presence of one's enemy usually meant death or imprisonment, and the German seemed to know it.
However, by then Tandey decided he'd shot enough people, so he lowered his weapon and motioned the wounded and mustachioed German to get out of there. The soldier nodded his thanks and took off. Of course, that soldier was a young Adolf Hitler.
A random act of mercy ended up leading indirectly to the next world war and the Holocaust. Not only did Tandey let the man who would become one of humanity's worst monsters go, but also he kind of enabled him. See, some men would have taken that act of mercy to heart and paid it forward to others in need of mercy themselves.
In an alternate reality, this man did a term as head of a very different Salvation Army.
But Hitler, being a shithead, liked to tell the story as proof that providence had saved him for a bigger future. He told himself that after every near-death experience, be it on the battlefield, in an explosive meeting or whenever he almost slipped in the tub.
Yes, the moral of this article is, "KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE IN CASE THEY ARE HITLER." You're welcome.

Have you ever bought items from China?
As we all know, there are good items and not so good items of China. Have you ever bought items from China? They are good or just so so?
15 Answers answer
I have bought many dress ties directly from China. Most have been very well made and they make many of the fancy Italian-made ties look a little cheapish...
I find this question unanswerable, much like being asked if I've ever eaten in a restaurant and if so, did I like the food.
Getting an Engrish vibe here. Any one else? I keep feeling like the woot fortress walls are being tested for an attack.
I buy many item of China, most of America company that uses China's cheap labor market to increase stock holder return. Quality is less then so so.
Why you ask?
It never used to bother me, but for the last year or so I don't buy from China if I can help it. The last time was some lookalike Uggs~I had a rash for a week after wearing them.
Outside of the obvious, since most of anything you buy from any chain store is made in china,
things that I have bought from Meritline and a few items that I have purchased from Amazon have been shipped directly from China. Outside of a toddler shower cap being marked as "phone/electronics" i haven't had any real issues with the products other than long shipping times. I have heard stories of people buying things like NFL jersey's and stuff with mis-spelled names on them, so that's something you might want to think of
I make jewelry to sell, and so I buy quite a lot of beads, pendants and findings directly from Chinese vendors via EBay. I find the items to be of a good quality for the price, and sometimes of a surprisingly good quality for the price. On those rare occasions when there has been a problem (package didn't arrive, item arrived broken, vendor sent the wrong item), they have always been quick to make appropriate recompense. The Chinese vendors are also the only ones that have included cute little thank you gifts. Sometimes it's a couple of organza jewelry bags, sometimes it's a little packet of random beads, sometimes an inexpensive piece of jewelry. My favorite is the little woven tassels with the decorative jade discs. They are great to attach to bookmarks. Like this: http://tinyurl.com/cuflce9
I can't resist. I tried, I really tried, but I can't.
Yes, I have many things from China, although (with the exception of some minor toys from Meritline) I have not purchased anything directly from there. I have silk scrolls that have painted scenes on them (circa 1880), a few rosewood carvings (provenance unknown, but beautiful), and many pieces of porcelain, including any number of vases and containers.
I even have a small bird house, although I suspect it was made for a cricket, and not a bird, in that same porcelain.
@lavikinga (and @kamikazeken): Here's an interesting piece of data. Go look at the last several comments on:
I note that the OP here made two comments there before asking this question.
Interesting. I wonder if they're just testing a translator, and using us as guinea pigs. When they can post questions, and interact, without giving off that "English is not the primary language" vibe, then the testing will cease. There are actually *four separate accounts posting on that question with the engrish flavor, not counting the OP.
@shrdlu: That "honeybaby" sounds like those stupid bots that show up once in a blue moon when I am IMing. "Hey, baby. I think you're cute. I like chatting with sexie cuties."
Don't TPTB have some kind of Romper Room reverse magic mirror that can see where these accounts originate?
Oh my gosh! They all use the word "dear" quite a lot. North Korea! It's Dear Leader trying to reach out from behind his self imposed bamboo wall.
@lavikinga: Absolutely from China. I promise it.
Note in the comment above, the reference to a "cheongsam" which is a Chinese garment for women.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheongsam (Oh, Wikipedia, is there nothing you don't know?)
There are other items that provide strong evidence to this being China, but that garment name is indisputable evidence (IMNSHO).
Yeah, I knew you were being funny. Still, I have the pedantic bit set to on, today.
Unfortunately I own several things from China. It's all but unavoidable.
@caffeine_dude: hehe, make an inquire about Chinese items.
Because so many people's views vary form one to another..
hehe :)
@jsimsace: ^-^ Most of things from China are still good with cheap price and high quality.
a small part of them are just so so. :)
@shrdlu: I know it. Absolutely, this is going to submit deals on woot.
I wanna know, you all dislike Chinese items submitted on woot, right?... But many things are from China, why so many people reject vendors from China.....

Advance Care Directives: Do it for those you love
If you are unable to communicate, others are left to struggle with medical care decisions. How will they know what is the right thing to do?
It's the situation no one wants to imagine: a medical condition leaves you unable to communicate. Do you want doctors to use machines to help you breathe? Resuscitate you if your heart stops? Caregivers want to follow your values and beliefs, but loved ones often face the hard choices alone. They struggle to do the "right thing," and sometimes they can't agree on what that is. Who decides?
Not just about you: a thoughtful gift for loved ones
"Many people do not realize that in New Hampshire and Vermont there are no legal statutes that identify 'next of kin,'" says Peggy Plunkett, DHMC APRN. "An advance directive does that. Possibly 50 percent of our ethics consultations could be eliminated if every patient 18 and over had an advance care directive on file."
All adults can benefit from thinking about what their health care choices would be if they are unable to speak for themselves. These decisions can be written down so that others know what they are. Advance directives come in two main forms: a "healthcare power of attorney" (or "proxy" or "agent" or "surrogate") documents the person you select to be your voice for your healthcare decisions if you cannot speak for yourself; a "living will" documents what kinds of medical treatments you would or would not want at the end of life.
Identify a decision maker, have your wishes readily available on file
Norris Cotton Cancer Center is working to have a legally executed advance directive (AD) or an advance care planning note (ACPN) directive on file in a readily retrievable location for each patient receiving care at the center.
"The most important aspect of an advance directive is naming a proxy decision maker who will know the patient's values and wishes if the patient no longer has the capacity to make decisions," said Claire Pace, MSN, APRN, Instructor of Medicine, Geisel School of Medicine. Pace is leading a new initiative to increase patient documentation at all NCC locations (Lebanon, Nashua, St. Johnsbury, and Manchester) from the current 45 to 80 percent.
April 16th is National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), a national campaign to make more people think about advance care planning. DHMC is encouraging all employees to complete their own advance directive, so they can have conversations with patients and help them complete their advance directives.
Where do I start with Advance Care Planning?
- Attend "A Fresh Look at Advance Directives & Advance Care Planning: From Chore to Key Quality Improvement Strategy,"NCCC Grand Rounds on Tuesday, April 2, from noon to 1 p.m. Ira Byock, MD, Professor of Anesthesiology, Professor of Community and Family Medicine, Professor of Medicine and Claire Pace, MSN, APRN, Instructor of Medicine, Geisel School of Medicine will present (live/archived webcast, podcast).
- Lead by example! The theme of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th is "Leading by Example." DHMC is encouraging all employees to complete their own advance directive, so we will be better equipped to answer questions and help patients complete their advance directives. More information is available at the Office of Care Management, or visit:
- NH Advance Directives: The New Hampshire Foundation for Healthy Communities offers an array of health-related community initiatives for the state. Download their Advance Care Planning Guide for all the necessary documents.
- VT Advance Directives: Put It in Writing: Maintained by the American Hospital Association, this comprehensive site about advance care planning offers forms to download, reference information, a glossary of terms related to the process, as well as Spanish language content

Kodak MAX AA Alkaline Batteries - 72 Pack for $14.97
Make sure you don't run out of AA batteries! 72 AA batteries for $14.97, that's less than 21 cents apiece! And after you make two yugster purchases (or one on Sunday), your price is even less! See our YugPoints page for more info.
These 72 batteries feature long-lasting quality for high drain devices and all battery applications. They have a long shelf-life, so don't worry about keeping them for a longer time. These are Best if used by 2019, these Kodak batteries have amazing value that you can trust!
$5 shipping brings the total to $18.97.
21 Comments add a comment
Title says $13.97, but description and the site say $14.97. But the total with shipping in the description reflects the wrong price. It should be $19.97 shipped.
You can never have too many batteries!
@tomthirtysix: Thanks. I must have goofed when I posted it. I tattled it and asked the mods to make changes, but if they don't at least folks will see your comment and get the correct numbers. Still a good deal!
I bought this deal awhile back directly from Woot (I think November?) .. Under $20 delivered to your home, a great deal. These are good batteries too, as my kids go through tons of batteries in their toys and stuff.
Holy Cow! That's 5.4V / $!
in for one
is it just me or is Kodak getting 500% more advertising and sales than before they filed for bankruptcy?? Can't seem to throw a stick without hitting a Kodak battery or digital camera for sale lately....
There's a one dollar off any item coupon. Use "Facebuck"
Use the coupon FreeYugBuck to get $1 off, making the deal better. I found the coupon on retailmenot and it worked for my order
Including shipping on this "deal", Costco Kirkland AA batteries wind up being a better deal, at around 21 cents each in 48-pack if you're a member. The Kirkland batteries are also rated as highly as Duracell (which is widely believed to be the manufacturer for Costco) by Consumer Reports.
@narquespamley: That's a lot of ifs. 1) you have one close by 2) are a member and 3) you don't mind going by there to pick them up. Personally it doesn't seem worth the couple of bucks you're saving. Wouldn't have been said a thing if you hadn't put deal in quotes, but stuff like that just sets me off.
Over 37 million households are Costco members. Many of them (like ours) shop there at least once or twice a month, and so adding a package of batteries to the shopping list is no big deal.
@narquespamley: Thanks for the info, I go to Costco at least once a month and I didn't know this. Costco is a good company that pays its employees well and stays true to low prices, I support them whenever I can!
@narquespamley: (sigh) No Costcos in our state yet.
I don't understand the hate on Costco. People post superior brick-and-mortar deals here all the time that are regionally specific. A lot of the deals themselves are regionally specific, and I don't thumbs down them for being so.
IKEA AA batteries are (also) around 21¢ ea. in packs of ten.
@narquespamley: I don't see any "hate on Costco" at least on this page. Post as many of their deals as you want. My post was only concerning you adding quotes around the word deal as if this wasn't. Less than 28 cents apiece for quality AA alkalines delivered to your door is a very good price.
@pegdashfab: I've had good luck with the Fry's brand alkalines as well. Those go for about 7.50 for 40 and can often be found for 6 bucks once a month or so.
Didn't accept my Amex or Discover, even though it shows they take discover. Annoying.
I'm in. 72 batteries should last me and the kids at least a couple of weeks.
I just bought the last pack. By the way, Costco isn't a better price if you have to pay sales tax...especially 9+% in WA or Chicago.

I have been studying of late about formation of naked singularities in certain collapse scenarios in Einstein's theory. It seems to me that the canonical paper to read about how such a formation is established is the 1984 paper by Christodoulou in Communications in Mathematical Physics. ( http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=742192 )
I was wondering if there is a reference which gives a more modern rewriting of the proof in that paper which say sort of highlights the generic technique of the proof which the reader can take away from there for other scenarios.
Somehow even the most recent books on Einstein's theory like the otherwise brilliant book by Choquet-Bruhat also doesn't dwell on techniques of testing in a collapse scenario whether the curvature singularity is naked or not.
I haven't seen till now any generic method or algorithm for testing this.
It would be great if someone can give me some references/explanations along these lines.

6 Pop Culture Visionaries Who Get Too Much Credit
#3. Dungeons and Dragons: Gary Gygax
E. Gary Gygax is considered the father of not only Dungeons and Dragons, but also the modern RPG industry itself. When, in reality, he was more like the weird uncle who lives in the garage and keeps clogging the toilet.
Alan De Smet
Gary, seen here explaining why THAC0 is superior to anything in 3.5 or 4th edition.
Who Actually Deserves the Credit:
During a nerd side quest, Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax had an epic random encounter when they chanced to meet at Gen Con in 1969. Gygax was working on something called Chainmail, which was a war simulator only a bit more complicated than the average board game. With Arneson's influence, Chainmail was adapted to include:
- Exploring dungeons
- Using a neutral judge/dungeon master
- Conversations with imaginary characters (NPCs) to develop the storyline
- Hit points
- Experience points
- The concept of role-playing an individual character rather than just rolling dice
So, basically, he put the "R" in RPG.
Kevin McColl
In fairness, Gygax was the man who introduced Cheetos and Mountain Dew to tabletop gaming.
Then why did Arneson's name fail its saving throw against history? Because in 1976, Arneson left TSR, the company that published D&D, to pursue a career as an independent game designer. In 1977, TSR released a new version of the game, cleverly titled Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and insisted that they didn't owe him any royalties. Arneson started filing lawsuits, while Gygax just looked around, realized that somebody was paying him to play D&D and tried his best not to rock this boat that should not be.
Rocco Pier Luigi
"I just assumed I'd rolled a natural 20 at life."
#2. Lost: J.J. Abrams
Lost was an innovative epic that combined Survivor and The X-Files with Pretty People and Sexy Pseudo-Dirt. And it was all thanks to the genius of J.J. Abrams, creator of such other psychological science fiction thrillers as, uh ... Felicity?
"I did something on Armageddon, but Mike had me too coked up to remember any of it."
Who Actually Deserves the Credit:
When Lost first started, J.J. Abrams was splitting his time with Alias, and he needed help. So Damon Lindelof came on board as executive producer and head writer. Together, Abrams and Lindelof fleshed out Lost's series bible and planned out the first few episodes, before Abrams disappeared to shoot Mission Impossible 3. Which, in all fairness, was the most taut and perfectly executed Tom Cruise marathon yet. You really believed that guy was running, you know?
Anyway, this left Lindelof holding a bag so heavy that he actually considered quitting Lost. He probably would have, too, were it not for the timely intervention of Carlton Cuse, who talked Lindelof out of leaving and joined the show as an executive producer halfway through Season 1. The two masterminded the whole series together afterward. After the pilot, Abrams' only real credit is co-writing one episode, whereas Lindelof wrote 45 episodes and Cuse 39.
Making them responsible for those fucking polar bears.
Good God: 45, 39? If you subtract one from the other you get six, cubed is 216, two plus one plus six is nine ... 45, 39, six, 216, nine. These numbers! These numbers have great and important meaning! They're the entire basis of something amazing ... that we will now never discuss again.
Hey look, Kate's ass!
And all is right with the world.
#1. The Simpsons: Matt Groening
After writing a handful of episodes in the first few seasons of The Simpsons, Matt Groening took a backseat approach to his creation, becoming something like the J.D. Salinger of jaundiced Flintstones analogues. But he came up with the concept and the characters, and he plotted out the main arcs of The Simpsons, right? There's a reason that you only associate one name with the world's longest-running animated comedy: His.
"All I ever really wanted was to draw cartoon rabbits."
But maybe it's the wrong one ...
Who Actually Deserves the Credit:
During his 15 years on the show, George Meyer was the de facto Simpsons guru. While he's only written 12 episodes, he has credit as a producer, creative consultant, writer, or story editor on a staggering 350. Most shows don't even get to 350 entire episodes. Meyer's primary contributions over the years have been behind the scenes: He was a script doctor, which means that he does all the work and gets none of the glory. But, as The New Yorker aptly put it, "[Meyer] has so thoroughly shaped the program that by now the comedic sensibility of The Simpsons could be viewed as mostly his."
Incidentally, he looks like Gollum.
Based on revelations from DVD commentaries, some of Meyer's contributions include:
- The heartwarming ending to "And Maggie Makes Three"
- Ned Flanders' Leftorium
- "Whacking Day"
- The flying pig in "Lisa the Vegetarian"
- The lyrics to "Rock Me, Dr. Zaius" from the Planet of the Apes musical
Don't pretend you can't sing every word.
- Tyson-esque boxer Drederick Tatum
- Mr. Burns answering the phone with "Ahoy - ahoy" instead of "hello"
It's the little things that make a legend.
So basically, all the quirky character development, strangely authentic heart and bizarre leaps in logic that made the show what it is. Meyer is also overwhelmingly responsible for the religious elements of The Simpsons, having penned the classic "Homer the Heretic" and conceived the hurricane that tests Ned Flanders' faith.
One scriptwriter (Jon Vitti) once had an episode featured in Entertainment Weekly. They lauded praise on the author and enthusiastically quoted their favorite bits from the show in depth. Vitti would later go on record as saying that all the jokes EW referenced -- every single one of them -- were actually added by Meyer:
"I am the Overmind of Comedy."
"That kind of thing happens to all the show's writers all the time. A show that you have the writer's credit for will run, and the next day people will come up to you and tell you how great it was. Then they'll mention their two favorite lines, and both of them will be George's."
Yeah, we here at Cracked don't understand that feeling at all.

NYU Bestows Honorary Degrees on Fed Chair Janet Yellen, Yankees Pitching Great Mariano Rivera, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, Singer Aretha Franklin and Distinguished Attorney Martin Edelman
NYU President John Sexton and Trustees Chair Martin Lipton today officiated at NYU's 182nd Commencement in Yankee Stadium. Some 8,000 students receiving undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees and 25,000 guests attended the morning ceremony, which was also attended by alumni, faculty, and other NYU community members.
Janet Yellen—the first woman to serve as Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System—addressed the graduates and guests at Yankee Stadium. Ms. Yellen received a Doctor of Commercial Science degree, honoris causa at the ceremony.
The University also bestowed honorary doctorates on:
The 2014 "Albert Gallatin Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Society" was presented to Judy and Michael Steinhardt, whose extraordinary leadership at NYU and unparalleled commitment to Jewish causes have enhanced the lives of countless men and women in New York and across the globe.
The 2014 "Lewis Rudin Award for Exemplary Service to New York City" was presented to Daniel L. Doctoroff, President and CEO of Bloomberg, L.P., in recognition of his superb record of service to the city as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding during the Bloomberg administration and his leadership in making New York the vibrant capital of creativity and culture that it is today.
President Sexton said, "We are so proud of our students and their accomplishments, though their departure from our community of scholars, teachers, and learners is bittersweet. But at no time has their ambition, hard work, and energy been more needed than now. The challenges that confront your generation—climate change and sustainable energy sources, political and religious extremism, poverty, to name but a few—are complex and daunting. They require women and men with a global outlook who are prepared to act with courage, with thoughtfulness, with resolve, and with wisdom. Our duty as a University, as we are so clearly reminded on this day of departure and goodbyes, is to help give you, our students, the tools you need—the understanding, the knowledge, the critical-thinking skills—to take on these challenges and to make the world a better place. We are honored by the faith you placed in us by choosing to study here at NYU; please know we have as much faith in you to accomplish great things as you leave us now. It was a joy to teach you and to learn with you, and a privilege to have you in our company. We are so happy to share this day with your families and friends, with our distinguished guests—our honorary degree recipients—and with the entire NYU community. On behalf of NYU's faculty, I offer my congratulations and best wishes to all our graduates. We are so proud of you."
The student speaker at the 2014 Commencement Exercises was Corey Blay, who graduated with a dual MBA/MPA degree from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business and the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Mr. Blay came to NYU after teaching history at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, a prestigious private school in the Bronx, where he also planned a middle school and founded a youth advocacy organization in Harlem. Mr. Blay's major research project at NYU was a historical analysis of city policy in Harlem dating back to 1935. He served as Vice President for External Relations for the Stern student government, was elected a student senator at-large, and served as one of two student representatives on the University Space Priorities Working Group, which was formed to provide guidance on the University's space needs. His ambition is to build a private middle school in Upper Manhattan that will prepare young men of color for success in competitive academic environments.
In keeping with NYU tradition, Commencement included "The Ceremony of the Torch." The University Torch – designed and fashioned by Tiffany and Co. in sterling silver and donated to the University in 1911 – was passed from a senior member of the faculty – Ruth Danon, clinical professor in the Paul McGhee Division of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies—to the youngest undergraduate degree recipient in the Class of 2014—Cassidy Shea Pahl, a 19-year-old graduate from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
New York University, founded in 1831, is one of the world's foremost research universities and is a member of the selective Association of American Universities. NYU has degree-granting university campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai; has eleven other global academic sites, including London, Paris, Florence, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, and Accra; and sends more students to study abroad than any other U.S. college or university. Through its numerous schools and colleges, NYU conducts research and provides education in the arts and sciences, law, medicine, business, dentistry, education, nursing, the cinematic and performing arts, music and studio arts, public administration, engineering, social work, and continuing and professional studies, among other areas.

It's hot out there, but before you're little ones go for a swim, make sure they've got the proper skills.
In today's Health Minute, Ninette Sosa brings us tips to get kids comfortable in the water.
If you want to teach little ones how to swim, the first rule of thumb make it fun.
YMCA instructor Scott Mennicke starts his lessons with the bucket game, to help children get over the fear of putting their face in the water.
Then it's time for a little kicking.
Mennicke says, "You just want to teach them the basic kicking and splashing, then they go with the backpack, so they can learn how to float with the backpack."
A backpack in the pool? It's actually four pieces of Styrofoam stacked together.
Gradually each piece of foam is removed until the child is strong enough to get around in the water without them, just like 5-year-old Ayden and 4-year-old Braxton.
The next step, learning to stay horizontal so they can master the basics for the freestyle stroke, often called the crawl.
They practice kicking with the kick board, learn to scoop with their arms, and blow bubbles to keep from gulping down water.
And Scott says teaching kids to swim can actually start in the bathtub.
"Use buckets in the bathtub, pour it over their face, have them lay in the bathtub, kick, splash, learn how to blow bubbles," says Mennicke.
It's all about having fun.
And building skills to be safe, confident swimmers.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-Airplane enthusiasts, children and history buffs have one more day to enjoy a blast from the past at Billard Municpal Airport...
A World War II B-25 Bomber plane is currently on display for public viewing and even ride-alongs.
"Maid In The Shade," is a veteran bomber that flew 15 missions out of Corsica during WWII. Her pilots were thrilled to see such great enthusiasm and hunger for history from the locals of Topeka.
Pilot David Baker said, "It's a piece of history, and with the 28 years of restoration that this airplane underwent and the tribute we try to place upon the heroes of the wwii era, the local people have really come out and embraced it."
October 1st is the final day for the B-25 Bomber in Topeka.
Touring the plane is free but a five dollar donation is requested. Rides on "Maid in the shade," start at $395. All money raised goes back into restoration efforts to preserve the historical plane.

Unanswered: Can't get it to work from the install
I have run "SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3-osx" and downloaded the SDK folders "sencha-touch-2.1.0-gpl"
I have a folder in my root folder named "sencha" which contains the tools app and the sdk folder.
I cd into the folder in terminal and run the "sencha" command and I get this error.
"[WARN] The current working directory (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sencha/sencha-touch-210) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode."
Can someone help with this? I can't find any real info that I can comprehend. This is so frustrating.

For Sencha Touch 2.1.0+ you should be using Sencha Cmd 3 as said in the blog: http://www.sencha.com/blog/introduci...-2-1-and-more/Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Thanks Mitchell, the Getting Started Guide should be updated to reflect this. I was completely led astray by the documentation, not good.
I tried installing it and it seems to want to install the files in Users/jaymorgan/bin , that doesn't seem right. Does it need to go into the usr/bin directory?
14 Apr 2013 8:29 PM #4
I'm left in the same spot as jaymorgan - it's asking if I want to install in Users/lorkel/bin, but I'm using MAMP on a Mac so I thought it would go in Applications/MAMP/htdocs.
At this point in terminal I can run:
sencha generate app GS ../GS (note: Getting Started still lists the command as sencha app create MyApp ../MyApp which appears to be depreciated)
And it seems to run until it hits a "Unable to locate 'framework.dir' property from sencha.cfg // Please ensure this command was executed from a valid framework"
Am I using the wrong SDK in combination with the cmd? Please point me in the right direction - and update the documentation!
15 Apr 2013 5:00 AM #5
Is this of any help for you? http://senchatouchdev.com/wordpress/2013/03/04/sencha-touch-2-1-1-getting-started/
You need to make sure you execute the generate app command from the touch-2.1.1 directory you downloaded. You need sencha cmd 3+ for 2.1.1 and sencha cmd 3.1+ for 2.2. Note sencha cmd != sencha sdk tools. Those are the two most common gotchas!
I agree the getting started docs could do with an update for sure. Scares me to think how many potential developers for sencha touch might have been scared away by these issues.I blog about Sencha Touch at www.senchatouchdev.com
15 Apr 2013 5:41 AM #6
Thank you for the reply shepsii! I found the answer in the documentation here:
The link you posted sounds correct too, although it doesn't include needing a Java Run-Time Environment or Compass, which the documentation cites as requirements for Cmd to run. Even with the step by step instructions there was still a missing piece, restarting Terminal after installing Cmd so the "sencha" command will run. Super frustrating!
Anyway thank you for your reply!

When I GM a game, I try to make sure that the skills the characters have can be used. If someone takes "Music", then I make sure there's a point in the campaign where someone needs to impress someone with their mad playing skills. Likewise, if a character has a low Charisma, I try to make sure that at some point, they have to be the diplomat.
However, I've known GMs that are simulationists -- "the world exists independent of the characters, so it should be built independently of the characters."
What advantages and disadvantages are there between the two different styles? What pitfalls do you run into when using a specific style?

Venice parks to get pampering
Published: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 6:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 6:07 p.m.
VENICE - The area's parks will receive pre-season pampering this weekend.
When and Where: 7:45 a.m., Saturday at Maxine Barritt Park, 1800 S. Harbor Drive.
What: Venice volunteers will work to make repairs and cosmetic improvements to about 14 local public parks.
About 380 volunteers have signed up to clean about 14 city- and county-owned parks Saturday morning.
The Venice Parks Makeover — which is part of the nationally recognized Make A Difference public service day — was spearheaded by the Tri-County Community Foundation, a charitable arm of Tri-County Air Conditioning.
Jim Foubister Sr., who oversees Tri-County Community Foundation, said the parks' project is part of the group's larger goal to accumulate a group of volunteers in the Venice area.
"There is a major void in human resource power," Foubister said. "We've got a little of a volunteer push here in Venice, so we are trying to continue that."
Starting at 7:45 a.m., volunteers will be assigned to one of 14 public parks in need of some TLC.
Some of those parks include Maxine Barritt, Wellfield, West Blalock, Venetia, Humphris (South Jetty), Centennial (Downtown), Dr. Fred Albee, Prentiss French, John Nolen, East Gate, Mundy, Ponce de Leon and Ruscelletto parks.
Foubister said volunteers will replace or repair about 37 of the Jetty's 60 benches.
He also said volunteers will work to repair other parks' signs, weed, paint, spread mulch, pick up garbage and do whatever else might be needed to get the parks in tip-top shape for tourist season.

Students of Online Trading studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Online Trading textbooks – for example Complete Idiot's Guide to Investing in Internet Stocks by [Kenneth E. Little], and All about Exchange Traded Funds by [Jr., Archie Richards] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Online Trading is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Online Trading books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Online Trading classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

The draggable config on the portlet, you should be able to pass in listeners that will use Ext.util.ComponentDragger. It has some events like dragend that may help you.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Tried something like this. Dint work. Some javascript error this.getProxy() is null.
draggable: {
insertProxy: false,
onDrag: function(e) {
// var el = this.proxy.getEl();
// this.x = el.getX();
// this.y = el.getY();
endDrag: function(e) {
// panel.setPosition(this.x,this.y);
alignElWithMouse: function() {
// panel.dd.superclass.superclass.alignElWithMouse.apply(panel.dd, arguments);
// this.proxy.sync();
