Revision as of 23:26, 18 November 2008
Making beer at home is cheap, easy, and great fun. Learn about the initial phase, which is basically tea made from grains (usually oats, wheat, or some similar combination thereof) and then adding sugar in.
Class schedule to be determined by speed of material acquisition. I would like to hold first class in December. Full fermentation (first boil to first beer) is about 6-8 weeks.
It consists of a lot of boiling and since we haven't tried it on this stove before... may be upwards of 3 hours long. Bring something to keep yourself entertained in the meantime (like a great book, some home brew you've already made, or your latest project).
A partial list of materials, blatantly stolen from the local brewshop's site (www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com):
* 6.5 Gallon Bucket w/Spigot (Primary Fermenter) * 6.5 Gallon Glass Carboy (Secondary Fermenter) * Handle for Carboy invaluable for help moving, like from brewsite to bottling site (floor to counter) * Funnel * Nylon steeping bag OR Cloth sleeve * Two Rubber Stoppers - not sure of the size, I can figure this out when we get the carboy secured * Airlocks 2 of em * Siphon Hose 8 feet * Bottle Filler * Bottle Brush * Bottle washer * Carboy Brush * Hand Bottle Capper * Bottle Caps * Hydrometer * Sample Jar * Fermometer * Siphon Starter * Glass bottles to hold 5 gallons of beer... approximately 60x 12 ounce bottles. * 5 gallon (the larger the better) brewpot WITH LID for making the wort in its initial phases * Plastic spoon for stirring wort whilst making the tea * Nice thermometer needs to go 200+ degrees Fahrenheit, with an attachment for attaching to side of brewpot
This is materials for a 5 gallon batch of beer, which yields about 4.75 usable gallons. The only thing needed for more beer (or beer to be brewed more often) is the ingredients and more carboys and bottles, all of which is highly modular and can be acquired as necessary.
Steve C is the local brewer, but has not done every type of beer out there... yet.

The convincing victory Sunday by the Baltimore Ravens didn't merely clinch an AFC title. It also kept a streak intact: For the seventh consecutive Super Bowl, at least one of the teams will have a minority head coach or general manager. This time, it's Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome.
The streak began when Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith became the first African-American head coaches to compete in a Super Bowl, and has been kept alive by the likes of Mike Tomlin, Jerry Reese, Jim Caldwell and Rod Graves. The streak is worth noting, especially as NFL minority coaches and executives shudder at The Big Shutout.
SORRY, RAY: Wes Welker's wife apologizes
PAY THE MAN: Ravens want NFL to fine Brady
The just-completed hiring cycle filled eight head-coaching slots and seven GM jobs, and it was a complete whitewash. Not a single person of color was hired, which is how it was in the 1950s and '60s. So, the Fritz Pollard Alliance, a watchdog group that monitors and promotes minority hiring, on Tuesday will propose:
- Expanding the Rooney Rule to include team presidents, offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators and assistant head coaches. (There would be an exception for a new head coach who wants to bring in his own coordinator. But if a position opens up under an existing coach, the rule applies.)
- Reinstitution of coaching and management symposiums, which once helped minority candidates with career training and networking.
Cyrus Mehri, co-founder and legal counsel for Alliance, told USA TODAY Sports: "This hiring cycle is a wakeup call for how tenacious the good ol' boy network is, and why we need to work so hard to level the playing field so there's fair competition."
The shutout is a shameful way for the NFL to mark the 10th anniversary of the Rooney Rule, instituted to open doors for minority candidates. Sure, each team that hired a coach complied with the rule and interviewed at least one minority candidate, but that doesn't explain how Andy Reid become a hot commodity after a freefall as the Philadelphia Eagles coach. Reid wasn't merely hired by the Kansas City Chiefs to coach; he was given full authority over personnel.
With such clout in Philadelphia, Reid's so-called Dream Team fizzled. Reid had Michael Vick, but was pretty much the anti-Shanahan, unable to craft a system that extracted the best out of him this season.
Smith, fired by second-year Chicago Bears GM Phil Emery after winning 10 games — a sign Emery was looking to dump a coach he inherited, rather than working with him — interviewed for two of the vacancies.
Guess his timing was bad. Seven of the new coaches had offensive backgrounds, and the word is that teams are looking for points production in the pass-happy NFL. Never mind that the best coach in the league, Bill Belichick, has defensive roots. And the coach who beat Belichick on Sunday, John Harbaugh, was a special teams coordinator.
Tomlin, Rex Ryan, Marvin Lewis, Pete Carroll, Jim Schwartz all have defensive roots. If you can coach and lead men, it doesn't matter. And think of all the offensive geniuses who flamed out as head coaches.
Newsome, meanwhile, told me the other night that he was baffled Caldwell didn't get a single interview. Working with the low-keyed Caldwell, Newsome has learned why Peyton Manning used to swear by his position coach.
There were roughly 50 interviews granted for head-coaching jobs. Rob Chudzinski got a job. Maybe the super cool, former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator will become the next Bill Walsh with the Cleveland Browns. Or maybe he turns out like Marty Mornhinweg or Chris Palmer.
What happened in Carolina's search for GM was strange, too. Marc Ross, the New York Giants' college scouting director was passed over for Dave Gettleman, who also worked for the Giants — and had scaled back to a part-time role. But he got the GM gig. Makes me wonder.
No doubt, this hiring cycle prompted much head-scratching. Is there real opportunity or lip service? While there are case-by-case examples, when the dots are connected, the playing field isn't level, and like society at large, some doors are kept closed, just because.
You'll hear a lot about filling the pipeline with offensive coordinators, and that's one key to bolstering candidates. But Reid, remember, jumped to the Eagles years ago from a job as Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach. These "rules" are not set in stone.
In any event, the Colts hired Pep Hamilton to replace Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator. He and Caldwell are the only African-American offensive play callers in the league.
It wasn't too long ago when some thought there was no longer a need for the Rooney Rule. Yet after the second shutout for minority hires since the rule was implemented, the need remains.
Diversity is a valuable asset for winning. And sometimes, the best candidate doesn't emerge until there's an open mind in approaching the process.

Rising gas production is propelling Qatar to be a global leader in LNG exports and GTL technology, and it will play a key role in the future growth of Qatar's downstream sector.
[natural gas]
[gas processing]
Although it is the smallest Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) member nation, both in terms of area
and population, Qatar contains the third-largest proven
reserves of natural gas in the world. Natural gas is sourced
primarily from Qatars North field. With an estimated 900
trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable gas reserves, the
North field is the largest non-associated natural gas field in
the world and represents roughly 10% of the worlds known
reserves. With gas production reaching almost 6 Tcf in 2013,
the country is the worlds fourth-largest producer of
natural gas. This gas production has propelled the country to
be the worldwide leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports
and gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies. Continued large-scale
natural gas production will play a key role in the future
growth of Qatars downstream hydrocarbon assets.

Those folks that succumb to these diseases are not stupid.... just ill-informed... as are the 'experts' on which they depend. It is very difficult and time consuming to sort through the chaff of disinformation and eventually find some truth. When an actual cure is found, it is even more difficult to find a practitioner to administer and manage the treatment. One almost has to do it themselves! Most do not have the constitution or confidence to be totally responsible for their own life. A sad state, indeed.

I want to set up a Riak Cluster for a Web project.
However, I want to secure this cluster so that only My Web Server(s) can access Riak Cluster. Basically, I will have one or more Web Servers and 4 Riak servers (in a cluster).
I want to use Shorewall or other firewall app to secure communications between the Web Server and the Riak Clusters so that no other servers can access the clusters but my own. Being the Riak is completely open on the server-side, this is essential before I take my servers into production.
I assume I will have to:
- Install Shorewall on each of the Riak Servers
- Lock down all ports initially
- Open Port 4369 (epmd) and Port 8099 (handoff listener) on all Riak Servers + the range of ports defined in my app.config file
- Open port 8098 and 8097 (for client) on all Riak Servers
- Individually restrict access of one Riak server to the IP addresses of the other Riak Servers in the cluster + the IP address(es) of my Web Server(s). Repeat for other Riak servers in the cluster
I can install Shorewall, but I'm not familiar with how to configure shorewall to do the above. I would appreciate some assistance.

NYCB Style
Posted 28 March 2003 - 11:31 AM
Is NYCB style still synonymous with Balanchine style? If not, what are the changes?
Posted 29 March 2003 - 07:15 PM
To make my best shot at it, the basics about company style - the things you notice right off the bat are speed and the "legginess" of the dancers. It's a company that emphasizes leg work first. Watching a Balanchine style class shows more of what I mean. There are many, many tendues (moving the leg in and out from the standing position along the floor), but arm movements are not set, and the dancers generally hold their arms at their sides and don't move them during the combinations.
There is a matter-of-fact quality to City Ballet style that I happen to love as well. It reflects the culture and the personality of the city and I think Balanchine as well. His most famous corrections? "Too fancy" "Too sweet" "Just do, dear." To some people, this seems to indicate he was looking for automatons, I think it's more complex than that. I'm guessing from watching that what he wanted was naturalness.
Company style has changed subtly in the years that I have been watching it, and more perceptibly if you view older tapes. It feels to me like the emphasis now is on the shape of the movement (pointed feet, high extensions, etc.) than on the movement itself. The dancers are more inbred (for lack of a better term) and that is become central to the style of the company. In the years I have been watching the company, I think the movement style (and the musical phrasing) has become more emphatic and punctuated, but I think this says as much about the cultural milieu as it does about City Ballet itself.
Posted 29 March 2003 - 07:42 PM
There's a preference in the look of the leg, too -- calves are not overdeveloped.
I'd say it's also not a virtuosic style, although it requires a high level of technique. But it's not fllashy, and I've been struck by the difference in audience reaction at ABT -- where there are lots of cheers -- and NYCB, where the reaction is very appreciative, but comparatively muted.
Another word often used to describe Balanchine/NYCB style (I think they're still synonymous, although Balanchine isn't being danced today as it was in 1983 or 1963) is that it's "highly articulated." And I take that to mean that you are supposed to see the steps performed clearly.
Posted 29 March 2003 - 08:29 PM
To me, the doppelganger of NYCB style is Soviet style, which has a more expressive upper body than lower one, more acrobatic partnering, an emphasis on virtuosity and a different hierarchy to the choreography. Does anyone else see them paired this way? (I say Soviet not to lump Kirov and Bolshoi styles together, because there are differences, but to talk about the sort of style that spawned dramballets like Spartacus)

The dancers also dance "big" even the ones who are smaller and with a high level of sustained energy.
Posted 04 April 2003 - 09:06 AM
Here's the URL:
One of her comments on NYCB style --
''Clean footwork at that tremendous speed'' is what Ashley cites as the Boston dancers' main difficulty with ''Ballo.''
''It's not second nature for them,'' she says. ''It's really only City Ballet dancers who have that urgency.''
Posted 07 April 2003 - 11:54 AM
I'd like to note re: the Ashley quote above that "clean" is relative and that NYCB's footwork, while certainly fast, is not necessarily clean, speaking strictly in terms of classical ballet technique.
Leigh is absolutely correct in noting that the arms are held further back than in other styles. Hands are rounded, in the old Romantic style, with the fingers spread well apart. Their basic relationship to each other is similar to the Vaganova hand position: the little finger is raised the highest, while the middle finger is lowest to connect with the thumb, for example. However, the thumb and middle finger are rounded to form a circle (they do not touch, however) the palm is rounded, and the fingers are spread so as to make the hand appear large. The use of the wrists is quite baroque; often they are flexed. The elbows are straight, not relaxed, in allongé positions, and the head is not necessarily coordinated with the arms in all movements, especially at the barre or during petit allegro. The weight is carried very far forward.
Pliés are usually performed with the heels off the floor, especially during jumps (though the extent of this can depend on the teacher); theoretically, this allows the dancer to perform a "3/4" plié and therefore perform a larger jump. Feet are often slightly winged, and when performing "a terre" movements, they do not go through the demi-pointe position; however, the demi-pointe is emphasized heavily in pointe work. Fifth position is crossed very far indeed, as are all movements in which one leg is raised to the front or back. In arabesque, particularly first arabesque, the shoulder above the supporting leg is allowed to reach forward, and the opposite shoulder is allowed to extend back. The hips are also opened in arabesque. Movements are quick and sharp, though not necessarily very exact. Balanchine dancers often dance just slightly ahead of the music unless it is extremely fast.

Each finger would have to be visible and the pinky finger would be "like having a tea party."
Posted 25 February 2007 - 06:29 AM
It's a thread well-work re-reading and bringing up to date in terms of developments since the 3 1/2 years since the last post.
I was especially interested in Leigh's observation:
The first part of this (the reference to shape of the movement) certainly seems on the money. It's also a development that seems to have been taken even further by other companies that have moved into the Balanchine repertorie (Miami, POB, and Kirov are my own personal experiences).
Company style has changed subtly in the years that I have been watching it, and more perceptibly if you view older tapes. It feels to me like the emphasis now is on the shape of the movement (pointed feet, high extensions, etc.) than on the movement itself. The dancers are more inbred (for lack of a better term) and that is become central to the style of the company. In the years I have been watching the company, I think the movement style (and the musical phrasing) has become more emphatic and punctuated, but I think this says as much about the cultural milieu as it does about City Ballet itself.
In my own limited experience -- I actually saw a great deal more of NYCB 20-40 years ago than in the past 15 years -- I am not so sure about the second point: "the movement style (and the musical phrasing) has become more emphatic and punctated." I can't imagine anything more "emphatic" and "punctuated" than NYCB's dancing of Balanchine in the 60s and 70s. Or am I misinterpreting those terms?
Posted 25 February 2007 - 08:50 AM
I have to say, the first time I saw this arm style (I have also never seen NYCB live) I thought it was really horrible. I've got used to it but I'm still not nuts about it. This does remind me of Soviet style, especially Natalia Bessmertnova. (Btw, artist, this post confirms your idea.)
but also a 'free' use of arms, including very often STRAIGHT lines (not curved) with 'broken wrists - anathema to (for example) 'ashton' style).
Posted 25 February 2007 - 12:25 PM
On another note, pertaining to this recording of Agon, the way the music was played even was different from what we hear today. If one was to compare the music in this recording with the music played for the Agon excerpts in the Balanchine Celebration aired in 1993(?), one can hear the difference in emphasis there as well. Different phrasing (in my opinion, the more recent recording had a more lyrical, singing quality to it as opposed to a consistent, even beat in the earlier one), and perhaps better acoustics and maybe more technically accomplished players (don't quote me on that, though!) create a sound today that IS as different from the earlier sound as the dancing is different.
Referring again to "emphatic and punctuated", and depending on which era you define as being so, the main difference between the two Agon videos (to me, anyway) was in the execution of the steps. The older video displayed all of the steps performed on a more even technical level- there weren't any heartstopping extensions or turns, etc, but I remember that the performance left me with images of movement- Bolendar's soft-shoe inspired movement, or Verdy's speed and precision, or the soft manipulation in the pas de deux where Diana Adams didn't seem to care that she was being twisted into a pretzal. And, the attack was "even" in musical terms, but it made me hear the music. The more recent video left me with memories of Darcey Bussel's fantastic extension, and Wendy Whelan's spidery approach to the second pas de trois- complete with deep plunges into second position grand plie on pointe, and phrased in such a way that there was an emphasis on that. This, to me, is more a emphatic and punctuated approach to the same choreography. We can't know for sure anymore what was originally intended, so both approaches are equally valid- just different.

When you come to Vlad's help in Part I, Chapter 2, you will meet up with Tommy the Cowboy.
In my past playthroughs this guy always died at least when the final assault took place just before getting to Vlad.
So I was wondering:
- Is it possible for Tommy the Cowboy to survive?
- If it is possible, is this recognized by the game either by character reaction or bonus?

Update: The PlayStation Vita is languishing. In a recent interview Sony senior vice president Masayasu said that there are no first-party titles in development for the PS Vita.
Original review below...
The PS Vita is the most powerful, dazzling and impressive handheld games console ever built.
It packs not one but two quad-core processors, a sparkling 5-inch touchscreen OLED display, dual analogue stick controls and games that go way beyond what any other portable device is currently capable of.
PS Vita Starter Kit
Augment your PS Vita with some basic accessories from Sony
That includes the Nintendo 3DS, which may wield 3D optics as its trump card, but nonetheless simply cannot compete with the Vita in terms of graphical fidelity. What the PlayStation Vita offers is more akin to a home console experience on the move, and that puts it in an elite class of one.
Of course, whether or not there is a big market for such a device is an interesting question, and we're in the process of getting some early answers. A sluggish start in Japan has been followed by some less-than-stellar sales figures in the first weeks of its International launch. It doesn't come as much of a surprise.
After all, it's a luxury item launching post-Christmas into a Western world ravaged by financial floundering, and further hindered by Sony's desperate need to make money at a time when the strength of the Yen makes exported Japanese products very expensive.
Take a look at PS Vita gameplay footage, the new interface and touch controls in our video:
But we'll get to that a little later, and as far as this PlayStation Vita review goes, we're looking at the product as a stand alone piece of hardware, how it stacks up against the competition and whether or not it offers value for money.
The basics
In many ways, despite the new name, the PlayStation Vita is another revision of the Sony PSP legacy with plenty of much needed evolution on top.
The same basic form factor returns and it doesn't look too different from its predecessors. But this is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A beast among men. A veritable fire-breathing monster compared to those long-dead PSPs in the sky.
The curvy oval shape returns, and measures 7.2-inches (18.3cm) from end to end. So it's the biggest Sony handheld ever, with a height of 3.3-inches (8.4cm) and a thickness of 0.73 (1.9cm).
Sony's reasoning has clearly been: if we're going to make the world's most powerful handheld console, we might as well make it the best it can possibly be. That involves packing industry-leading visuals, hence the 5-inch OLED screen which on its own is as big as the entire PSP Go console was.
We think the enlarged size is a worthwhile compromise, and this Wi-Fi only model weighs in at just 260g which is 20g lighter than the original, smaller PSP 1000. So when you pick it up you'll react to its apparent lightness.
On the table
The front of the console is a smorgasbord of hardware delights.
To the left of the screen you'll find the classic Sony D-Pad, a left analogue stick, a left speaker and the PS Home button.
To the right you'll find your classic PlayStation triangle, circle, square and X buttons, as well as a right analogue stick, right speaker, a 0.3MP front-facing camera and the Start and Select buttons you're most likely very familiar with already.
On the top side of the Vita are left and right shoulder buttons - there are no trigger buttons like you'd find on a PS3 Dualshock controller. Between the shoulders you'll find the on/off button, volume controls, the PS Vita Card slot (which we'll discuss in a moment) and a terminal to plug in any number of as-yet non-existent peripherals.
The base of the console houses the proprietary USB connector for charging and connecting to PS3 etc, as well as the headphone/microphone adapter and the Memory Card slot.
And finally, the rear of the PS Vita is home to the brand-new rear Touch Pad, a rear 0.3MP camera and a microphone.
At launch the PS Vita will set back UK gamers around £209.99 (RRP £229.99), while the 3G version will launch a little later for £259.99 (£279.99). At the time of writing, the cheapest deal for the PS Vita is £197 at ASDA, while Amazon have matched that price.
There are bundle deals if you shop around, and these include different combinations of PC Sivta with memory cards and games.

In terms of product design how large a weight could people in the 95th Percentile (Men & Women) lift in KG, per hand, without overly exerting themselves? This is in regards to anthropometrics, and the data would be used with 95th percentile hand sizes, etc.
As for defining overly exerting themselves, I'd say in terms of being able to hold an object for a prolonged period of time, without showing any noticeable signs in terms of biology that they were doing this, e.g. Sweating, Feeling Uncomfortable. For example, a phone is below this lift, a normal television is above.

What was the original military coup staged by the Fijian officers in the late 1980s to sideline the Indians living in Fiji from the country's political system ?
closed as not a real question by Mark C. Wallace, choster, American Luke, Steven Drennon♦ Mar 2 '13 at 5:15
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Indians were living in Fuji because Fuji was a British colony and many Indians were brought to Fuji as indentured laborers or servants. This established a sizable Indian population. Through elections the originally native Fujian government became a multi-ethnic entity. The coup was quick and took place without resistance, the prime minister Timoci Bavadra and the parliament were deposed.
The long term consequence of the coup was a gradual migration of ethnic Indians, resulting in a loss of skilled labor and ultimately dealt a blow to the economy.

I have several formulas I would like to place at specific coordinates in a
Graphics object I have already created. I need to be able to choose bold or not as well as how large to make it. I am unsure how to control the size of the text as well as why Mathematica will not place it. Specifically, it continues to try to evaluate my text. One of the objects I wish to place on the plot is (since it won't let me post a picture)
$$M^\mu = \oplus_{\lambda \ge \mu} \,m \, \lambda_\mu \, S^\mu$$
However, Mathematica continues to try to evaluate the direct sum rather than just place it at say the point (0,0).
Here is the code I am trying at the moment:
Graphics[{Style[HoldForm[M^μ == \!\(*UnderscriptBox[(StandardForm[⊕]), (λ ≥ μ)]\) m Subscript[λ, μ] S^μ], Medium], FormatType -> StandardForm}]
Any ideas?

Discasaurus for Android
I released my first Android app today built using Sencha Touch. It is a free scorekeeping application for the growing sport of disc golf, and you can see screenshots in the app store entry linked below. Thanks in advance for any feedback :o)
Known Limitations
- Must have a free Discasaurus profile to use (signup at http://discasaurus.com)
- Two finger tap does not subtract a stroke as it does in iOS, use tap and hold instead
- Horizontal round summary view is not yet supported
- Only US course directories are available (over 2700 courses)
The dropdown menu and persistent list selections are available as plugins from the Sencha Market (https://market.sencha.com/). Help yourself and make something great!
Last edited by Bunchofstring; 17 Oct 2012 at 9:51 AM. Reason: Patched and removed a known limitation for "An incomplete course directory download may require an app reset"

Took it for a spin for a few mins (I am not a disc golf player or anything)
The good news is, I really like the overall interface of this app,well done!
On the down side..
There are still a number of bugs present (can't login for instance , have to enter my credentials and then stop and restart the app in order to continue) and the overall flow of the program is confusing to me (do this first, or you can't do this. download a list but not show this list, expect the user to tap something but nothing triggers the user to do so.. ie: it is not clear I need to tap).
The app feels slow on my phone ( android ICS on HTC Desire HD) and unresponsive at times ( have to tab buttons a few times before they seem to respond) but I'm afraid that's just how things are for Android at the moment.
Mostly problems that can be fixed though, so overall I am impressed!
cheers.twitter: @realjax
11 Oct 2012 6:30 AM #3
Update: Thanks for the feedback @realjax. The login issue you encountered was because I did not regression test that release (bad, I know), but it's fixed now and available in the Play store. I also added some help text on the game setup and course directory download screens to address your points about "overall flow".
As for the performance issue, there is not much I can do about that :o(
FYI, my app running in the mobile Chrome browser outperforms the same running in PhoneGap... which means that when Google starts using the Chrome engine for native web views, we'll get a performance bump

17 Oct 2012 9:49 AM #5
@realjax, I really appreciate your notes. I put that dropdown in there to hint that other countries are coming to Discasaurus soon. However, without a clear indication that it's not ready yet, it leaves the user dissappointed/confused/frustrated (as you experienced).
The next update will hide that menu button, and it won't come back until the other regions are actually available. Lesson learned.
26 Feb 2014 12:22 PM #6
Discasaurus for Android is getting better! I worked on the latest update for almost a year, but it fixes all of the issues previously mentioned here, and introduces some new capabilities, including:
- No profile/registration required
- Map and directions to nearby courses (native)
- Now available for Canada, Australia, Finland, Japan, Australia and 10 other countries
Feedback is appreciated :o)

While exploring the archives for the 2nd seal to restore Zoltun I found a room that was stacked with strong enemies. I chose to retreat back through the doorway but found myself sealed off from the battle.
My templar and my spider could not cross the barrier, but if the enemies come close enough we can hit them for a few points of damage.
I suspect that I need to destroy the arcane construct to lower the field and so I fear that I'll have to backtrack a bit.
Is there any way to drop this door or is it a glitch?

As we recover from the holidays and the celebration of your choice to ring in the New Year, it should be noted that all Thoroughbreds celebrated a universal birthday for racing purposes on Jan. 1.
All the 2-year-olds that displayed promise are now three – the age at which they'll have their only chance to compete in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands or the Kentucky Oaks. So the young horses that just a few weeks ago were allowed to show promise are now, in effect, on-the-clock.
Just over 120 days remain until Kentucky Derby 139 on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs. That cannot be described as a distant horizon.
It's a personal rule-of-thumb that when the team at Churchill Downs gets to the 100-day marker 'til Derby Day, it's like the race is coming up tomorrow.
It's a safe guess that owners and trainers feel similar time pressure as there is little margin for misstep along the road to the Derby and Oaks. And those connections will also be seeking out their comfort zones in the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" and "Road to the Kentucky Oaks," the points systems that will determine, for the first time, which horses will be eligible to slide into the starting gates on the days of the respective races.
Although we are just over four months away from those big days, thoughts on the major players in the early days of the 3-year-old season can wait a bit. Now is a time to reflect on the best moments of 2012, the old year that is now quickly shrinking with each glance into the rear-view mirror.
Here are some thoughts on the really good moments of 2012 in Kentucky racing and beyond.
The running of the Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park gets the nod in this corner for Race of the Year. The 2012 renewal ended with 2011 Preakness winner Shackleford and the brilliant miler Caleb's Posse inseparable to the eye when they hit the wire in the one-mile race. The Dale Romans-trained Shackleford got the nod from the photo-finish booth, one of the major highlights of the final racing season for the Classic winner who ended his career in November with a victory in an emotional renewal of Churchill Downs' Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare.
Just behind the Met Mile is the course-record victory by likely Horse of the Year Wise Dan in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita. Trainer Charles Lopresti's star was brilliant, as he had been all season, and he needed to be to hold 2011 Kentucky Derby winner and ultimate runner-up Animal Kingdom safe.
I'll Have Another's late charge to win the Kentucky Derby is also in that discussion. Runner-up Bodemeister ran one of the bravest losing efforts in Derby history and just failed to hold off trainer Doug O'Neill's Derby winner.
At the risk of being accused of being a home (and that has never happened!), the 2012 renewal of the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs deserves a special mention. That race ended in the only loss in a fantastic season for Wise Dan, who might not have seen the victorious Ron the Greek slipping through the on rail to rob him of a perfect season.
The eighth-place finisher that evening at Churchill Downs was Fort Larned, who lost all chance in a rugged start. Trainer Ian Wilkes' star would rebound nicely from that disappointment to complete the season with a win in Saratoga's Grade I Whitney and a dramatic season-ending victory over Mucho Macho Man in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic.
Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. was in the saddle aboard Fort Larned in both triumphs, the highlights of the career of a still-young 28-year-old veteran who rode at night and attended high school during the day as teen. He moved to Churchill Downs on the day after his high school graduation.
Always one of the nicest individuals in racing, it was a joy for those who know Hernandez to justify the faith Wilkes had placed in him as the trainer ignored the phone calls of higher-profile jockeys interested in the mount on Fort Larned. His signature wins came at an important point in the career of Hernandez, who had ridden very well in recent Kentucky meets and has the potential to become a bigger player on the national scene off his 2012 success.
While also admitting some hometown bias, it's difficult to imagine that Louisville-born trainer Dale Romans would be denied an Eclipse Award to honor him as America's top trainer following a year that included Grade I triumphs by Shackleford, Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike, Toyota Blue Grass and Pacific Classic winner Dullahan, turf star Tapitsfly and Afleeting Lady, a half-sister to Shackleford who Churchill Downs' Falls City Handicap in her season finale.

Daily Fire Danger Index link … http://www.crh.noaa.gov/bis/?n=fireweather
The North Dakota Fire Danger Index provides an indication of rural fire potential for grasslands, including its ability to spread. The index contains five ratings: Low, Medium, High, Very High, and Extreme.
Your local fire service recommends certain guidelines based on the fire danger index rating. For North Dakota hunters, anglers and other outdoor recreationists, some legal restrictions go into effect when the fire danger index in a specific county or counties reaches the Extreme category
In counties where the Fire Danger Index is in the Extreme category:
- Open burning such as a campfire is prohibited.
- Off-road motorized travel is prohibited except for persons engaged in a trade, business or occupation where it is required. Fire extinguishers and fire tools are required.
- Smoking is restricted to inside of vehicles, places of habitation and areas cleared to mineral soil.
Local (city/county/tribal) jurisdictions may also institute burn bans that are more restrictive than the fire danger index. Contact your local emergency manager to inquire about the status of fire restrictions that may be in place, or go to Counties with Burn Bans in Effect.

5 Everyday Pieces of Clothing With Shocking Health Risks
#2. Bras Mess With Your Sleep and Immune System
We love bras. We hate bras. They support boobs. They chain boobs. They wildly swing back and forth from sexy godsend to patriarchal titty handcuffs. In 1999, a group of Japanese scientists decided to add a little weight to the negative side of the bra scale by linking the undergarment with abnormal sleeping patterns and hormonal imbalance. In a study from the Department of Environmental Health at Nara Women's University, 10 healthy women were asked to wear a girdle and brassiere for a couple of nights while the scientists tested their saliva, urine and rectal temperature (wait, are we sure this was science?). The study showed decreased levels of melatonin in the participants' saliva while they were wearing the foundation garments. According to the scientists, the skin pressure caused by bras can suppress the production of melatonin, which medical professionals consider "not ... super great."
Science works in mysterious ways.
Melatonin has a crucial role in our sleep patterns, essentially determining when we fall asleep and wake up. Among its many other jobs, it also helps control the menstrual cycle and the immune system. Melatonin's duties, and therefore the implications of screwin' with said duties by wearing a breast-bag, are wide reaching. But to put it simply, wearing a bra while sleeping lowers your melatonin levels, which then messes up your sleep, makes you sick and interferes with your period. Also, that wire will totally poke you in the side when you flip over, and nobody likes that.
"I'm actually used to annoying tiny pokes in my back when I'm trying to sleep."
#1. Neckties Can Damage Your Eyesight
Thanks to Mad Men, the suit-and-tie look has been making a rocketing comeback in men's fashion. But just like everything else that seems awesome about the '60s, it turns out that wearing neckties secretly sucks. Specifically, wearing a tie can put you at risk for glaucoma.
Glaucoma is one of the most common eye diseases in the world and can lead to permanent blindness unless it's treated early. Its primary cause is increased pressure in the eye, which in turn can be caused by obstructed blood flow to and from the head. Like if, say, someone tied a fashionably striped little silk noose around your neck and strangled you with it for seven or eight hours every day.
At least regular nooses make you look like a criminal badass.
A 2003 study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology asked 40 men, half completely healthy and half suffering from glaucoma, to tighten a necktie to "slightly uncomfortable" levels for three minutes, then measured their intraocular pressure. Sixty percent of the glaucoma sufferers and 70 percent of the healthy group showed increased pressure in their eyes. We're not even talking Hulk Hogan headlock levels here -- just "slightly uncomfortably tight," which describes every single tie we've ever worn.
"Whatcha ya gonna do, brother, when the 50-inch silk-woven python runs wild on you!?!"
It turns out that wearing a necktie very gently obstructed the patients' jugular vein, which returns blood from the head to the heart. At best, long-term pressure rises like this can lead to being misdiagnosed with glaucoma by your doctor, and you'll have to do that super annoying air-puff-in-the-eye test every few months for the rest of your life. Of course, at worst, it could lead to permanent damage to the retina. And then you wouldn't even be able to see how absolutely bitchin' you look in that suit. That's like the definition of tragedy right there.

I do a lot of online shopping at all the major sites like Newegg, Buy.com, TigerDirect, Amazon, etc. I frequently check prices using tools like dealnews, slickdeals, and FatWallet.
When I'm shopping for something in particular, I usually just start up a spreadsheet and go monotonously through the links, normalizing the data as I go for comparison's sake.
Is there a site that can serve as my data dumping ground for product research? I've tried sites like PriceGrabber, but I can find better deals on my own. I just need a place to put them.

Crews have nearly completed a new Kentucky National Guard Readiness Center in northern Kentucky.
The center in Burlington will house the 1204th Aviation Support Battalion and includes nearly 5 acres of parking, administrative and storage spaces, conference rooms, classrooms and an assembly hall.
Kentucky National Guard design and projects manager Capt. Joseph Sloan told the Kentucky Enquirer (http://bit.ly/VEz7D0) that crews are expected to complete work on the project next month and the facility should be "up and running" before the end of April.
Sloan said the National Guard tries to locate readiness centers in different areas of the state to more effectively respond when there's an emergency.
He said there was "a big gap in our coverage" in the northern Kentucky region.

CBLA will host an informal lunch hour with Professor Katharina Pistor, the Michael I. Sovern Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and the Director of the School's Center on Global Legal Transformation. In October, she was honored with the prestigious Max Planck Research Award for her contributions to the regulation of international financial markets. It is one of Germany's most valuable prizes, given to only two people annually. Prof. Pistor will discuss how she intends to use her award money to expand on two facets of her work that are already underway: analyzing the impact of financial regulatory efforts undertaken by various nations on the global financial system, and probing the limitations of emergent global property rights regimes. She will also take questions about her upcoming Spring semester classes (Corporations and the popular 1L elective, Lawyering Across Multiple Orders) and other facets of her research.

Young Racers Club April 2008 - Brandon TibaldiWritten on April 1, 2008 Dedicated to supporting youth in racing
Brandon Tibaldi, Kirksey, Kentucky
Brandon Tibaldi is this month's Young Racer's Club winner. The Kirksey, Ky., native races both Street Stocks and Late Models at Paducah, Ky., Lake Motor Speedway and Clarksville Speedway. He writes, "I began my racing career when my dad put me in a steel-block Late Model at the age of 12 at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway. I turned 18 on November 13, 2007. I have never won a race yet but hope to do so soon. I will dedicate my first victory to my mom who I loved so much. She passed away from breast cancer in 2005 when I was 15."
Despite the loss of his mother, Brandon keeps at it, racing hard to capture that first win. No doubt the $250 gift certificate from TCI that is headed to Brandon will certainly help in prepping that racecar for the new season. Good luck in 2008 and send us a picture when you get that first one. We'll be pulling for you Brandon.

Let $a\le b$ and $k\ge 0$ be given and fixed. Let furthermore $x$ and $y$ denote two different elements of a Hilbert space $H$. Suppose $u:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow H$ is a $C^k$-embedding connecting $x$ and $y$, s.t. the derivatives up to order $k$ vanish at infinity and $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a given $C^k$-map with support in $[a,b].$ Then it it possible to construct a $C^k$map $\tilde{f}:H\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfying $\tilde{f}(u(s))=f(s)$ for any $s\in \mathbb{R}.$ (This can be done using a tubular neighborhood and a suitable cutoff function.)
Is it possible to make the map $f\mapsto\tilde{f}$ continuous? The domain of this map should be the space of $C^k$-embeddings (as above) times $\mathbb{R}$-valued $C^k$- functions supported in $[a,b]$. And the codomain should be the space of $C^k$-maps on $H$.

Desk Lamps & Task Lighting
Desk lamps and task lights are some of the most convenient lights to have around when you're working or studying. The designs are adjustable at multiple points and many have LED lamping options, which is especially designed for directional task lighting. Modern desk lights and task lamps are fashionable enough for the contemporary home yet professional for the office. And desk and task lamps often have dimmers that help your eyes adjust to avoid eye strain.
Where Desk & Task Lamps Works Best
With many more homes offering combo living and work spaces, it's great to have modern desk lamps that serve both a functional and a fashionable role. Improve your home office lighting with a few modern desk lights from Koncept and George Kovacs, or show your contemporary fashion sense at the office away from home with cutting edge task lighting from Artemide. These types of fixtures are also great companions when wanting to do some late night reading in bed as their smaller bases taking up very little space on a nightstand or side table. Whatever task you may have that needs the appropriate lighting, you will find a design here you will love.
Other Great Options
Consider reading floor lamps and swing arm floor lamps if desk space isn't an option for you. These types of lamps offer the same adjustability without using any work space at all. And if you are shopping for task lights for your office, you will want to see the selection of modern office furniture too.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After sweeping the doubles round, Anderson University women's tennis cruised to an 8-1 victory over South Atlantic Conference foe Lincoln Memorial Monday afternoon at Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.
With the victory, the Trojans improve to an even 5-5 overall record and a 4-2 mark in conference play, while the Lady Railsplitters drop to 6-5 for the 2014 campaign and an even 3-3 in the league.
In the doubles round, senior Avery Owens and junior Karen Ching notched an 8-6 decision over LMU's tandem of Elena Vasilyeva and Gemma Goodland at the No. 1 position. The win is their fourth in their last five doubles matches and sixth this season.
At the No. 2 spot, junior Lindsay Gregory and freshman Rebecca Bruning tallied an 8-2 victory over Roksolana Prudyvus and Alexandra Granger, while the sophomore tandem of Alexandra Ebner and Nikkola Wichenko recorded an identical 8-2 win at No. 3.
Using the momentum from the singles round, the Trojans continued their winning ways, taking five of the six singles matches. Owens claimed her sixth singles win of the year with a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 2, while Bruning (No. 3) increased her winning total to eight for the season with a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over Priscilla Bulandres.
Ebner grabbed her fourth win in her last five appearances with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 4, while Gregory defeated Granger 6-3, 7-5 at the No. 5 spot. Wichenko (No. 6) was the only Trojan to go into three sets as she knocked off Aura Penalosa in a 6-1, 1-6, 14-12 marathon win.
The Trojans will continue their grueling week of four matches in six days when they hit the road to Lenoir-Rhyne on Tuesday. First serve from Hickory is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Another Ohio Valley head football coaching job has been filled.
The Union Local Board of Education voted 3-1 late Thursday night to name Bruce Stiles as the Jets new gridiron boss.
Stiles, a 1981 graduate of the Morristown-based school, replaces Mark Cisar who resigned in mid-November after seven seasons.
Article Photos
"I'm excited and thankful to the board for this opportunity," Stiles said in a telephone call. "I'm ready to go."
This isn't Stiles first head coaching position, as he replaced Mickey Blatnik as the St. Clairsville girls' basketball coach in 2009. He held that post for two seasons before stepping down to spend more time watching his daughter, Carlee, who is a senior on the Lady Jets' hoop squad this winter.
A 1986 graduate of Salem College, Stiles has served as the Red Devils' defensive coordinator for the past several years.
Stiles will be inheriting a Jets team that has only won twice in the past three seasons, a mark that led to Cisar's stepping down.
"I'm well aware of their past," Stiles said of the 2-28 record. "But that was the past and we want to move forward."
After a highly successful prep career at UL, Stiles went on to Salem College where he earned all-WVIAC honors as a defensive back.
He was a 3-year starter for the Tigers and played under Terry Bowden.

I have a friend who is allergic to sulfites in wine, so he sticks to drinking beer. I use campden tablets to dechlorinate my water, at a rate of one tablet per 10 gallons. How much sulfite makes it into the final beer when treating water this way? How does it compare to sulfite levels in wine?
That would be hard to know accurately. A better way to remove the chlorine would be to use a Brita or Pur filter (an activated carbon filtering system), or expose the water in a colorless carboy or container to intense light for several hours with the top open to allow the chlorine to escape (this is a common way to allow the chlorine to escape when prepping for fish tanks). These do not add sulfur compounds.
At the rate that you are using the campden, the sulfite levels would be less than the typical ppm in wine. Before the metabisulfite reacts with the chlorine and chloramine, the concentration would be about 7 parts per million (using standard .44 g tablets). Sulfite levels of less than 10 ppm in wine are allowed for a wine to be called sulfite free ( see http://wineintro.com/glossary/s/sulfites.html). So even if none of the campden reacted, at the rate that you are adding it, the concentration would be below that accepted as "sulfite-free" in wine.
I use a brita filter and have experimentally determined that chlorine and other contaminants are reduced to sub part per million levels. BTW - the same filters also remove sulfite and sulfates. Be certain to use a relatively fresh filter.
Using campden is less expensive, faster, and more effective than using a filter. Basically, there is no sulfite left. According to BYO "The reaction converts chlorine into chloride and the sulfite is converted to sulfate." (http://www.byo.com/stories/wizard/article/section/121-mr-wizard/475-clearing-chloramine-a-historical-hopping-mr-wizard).

WEIRTON - A group of girls from the Brooke Place group home have been coming one Saturday each month to Evangel Baptist Church, where members teach them to cook, sew and even to play the organ.
The idea was to help provide the girls with skills they may use in the not-so-distant future when they become young women.
But it also serves another important purpose, as it allows the girls to spend time in a positive, caring environment with several women, and a few men, who later may serve as role models.
Article Photos
COOKING LESSONS — Rita Wright and other members of Evangel Baptist Church in Weirton showed girls from the Brooke Place group home how to make turkey fajitas, pasta salad, peach upside down cake and other food during a recent visit to the church. Wright and other church members have volunteered to teach the girls various life skills and spend time with them one Saturday each month. -- Warren Scott
ORGAN LESSON — Greg Williamson, a member of Evangel Baptist Church in Weirton, asked a question to Linda Gaskins, the church's organist, following a lesson Gaskins was giving to a girl from Brooke Place. A few girls from the group home have expressed interest in taking organ lessons from Gaskins during monthly visits to the church, where they also learn cooking, sewing and other skills. -- Warren Scott
During a recent visit, several women of various ages gathered with the girls in the church's kitchen. The women took turns explaining how to prepare turkey fajitas, pasta salad, salsa and a peach upside down cake for lunch.
In another room, a few women sat beside girls as they used sewing machines to stitch together pieces for a quilt. As they looked over the girls' shoulders, the women offered instruction and some memories.
"I used to make suits for my husband and sons because we were poor," said Betty Trickett, who added she also earned money for her family by making wedding dresses from scratch.
An observer noted the scenes reminded him very much of girls working with their mothers and granddaughters.
Jean Bartholow, a volunteer and former child care worker at Brooke Place, acknowledged though the girls often come from troubled homes, they miss the connections with family members or lacked them to begin with.
"Most of them call me Grandma. Of course, I am the oldest person there," she said.
Church member Rita Wright said she met a Brooke Place staff member by chance.
A retired nurse and former foster mother, Wright asked how she might help and learned officials with Family Connections, which operates the group home, were seeking opportunities for the girls to learn life skills.
Wright quickly recruited several church members to teach the girls about cooking and sewing and received approval from Family Connections for the girls to meet with them on a monthly basis.
"It all came together in about three days," she said.
"Sometimes God works quickly," said fellow church member Dana Hair.
The visits are voluntary and the girls are accompanied by staff with Brooke Place. They also may choose which activities they participate in.
"We want it to be fun," said Wright, who added there are plans to invite the girls to plan their own menus.
At the start of a recent visit, Wright asked them what they enjoyed doing the previous month and what they would like to do in the future.
During their first visit, Linda Gaskins, the church's organist, learned a few of the girls were interested in learning to play the organ.
"They are excited and eager to learn," said Gaskins.
One of the girls, whose name may not be used because of the group's home confidentiality policy, said before she came to Brooke Place, she played the saxophone and was in her school's choir.
While chatting with the girls, Wright and others get to know a little about the girls' interests. A few brought books with them and commented they enjoy reading very much.
While living at Brooke Place, the girls attend local schools and past residents have graduated from Brooke High School.
Occasionally someone outside Brooke Place will stereotype girls from the home as being bad girls.
Asked if she had any concerns about that, Wright said she had none and the girls' conduct during their visits has been very good.
Michael Smith, director of Brooke Place, said the behavior of girls who come to Brooke Place, good and bad, is no different from other teens, though often they are coming to terms with traumatic incidents in their lives.
"They want to be normal kids," he said.
Last year, in observance of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the girls were invited to participate in an activity known nationally as the Clothesline Project.
The girls could select a red, blue or green T-shirt - the colors symbolizing rape, bullying or abuse, whatever issue had significance to them - and write their feelings about it on the shirts.
The shirts were displayed on a clothesline in the home.
Smith said he's very happy to have the girls work with the church members and often seeks ways for the girls to be involved in the community.
That has included service projects such as collecting litter along local roads.
Asked what she thought of the visits to Evangel Baptist, one of the girls said, "I like it. It's fun. It's better than just sitting around."
Wright said she hopes to have women of various professions and talents speak to the girls or share their skills. She and the other church members also are seeking someone who can repair the old sewing machines they use and donations of ribbon yarn, 5 millimeter knitting needles and stitch stoppers.
Anyone interested in helping the church in these ways should call Wright at (304) 224-1599.
Staff and volunteers with Brooke Place meanwhile are planning its annual fundraiser. Dubbed "There's No Place Like Home," the event will include food, dancing to music by Mr. Mike and the Music Machine, a live auction conducted by Bennie Parr and a cash bar.
Set for May 3 at the Serbian-American Cultural Center, the event helps the group home to provide for the girls' basic and personal needs.
Those seeking tickets or interested in serving as a sponsor should call Bartholow at (304) 527-3303.

The help text states:
Requires in air locked-on target to fire
I assume this means the target has to be in the air, but how do I lock-on the target?
The help text states:
I assume this means the target has to be in the air, but how do I lock-on the target?
The Sabre launcher will automatically lock-on and acquire targets while equipped. The weapon can be used on opponents while they are either in vehicles or freely traversing the playing field.
Targets can be acquired rapidly, however only one target can be assessed at a time. The following conditions are required to begin locking onto your target.
Once these conditions have been met a box will appear around your target. This will also be indicated by a distinct beeping sound. Let's call this the "pre-firing" state. During this state the three conditions listed above must be maintained at all times. After a period of ~5 seconds in this state, the targeting box will become red. At this point you have reached the "firing-state". Left-clicking will now fire the sabre rocket.
During the pre-firing state your opponent will be aware that you are targeting him. This is accomplished by both a continuous beeping sound and a HUD message. If your opponent is not in a vehicle this will often prompt the player to land on the ground as soon as possible to disable your ability to track him. As a result, the best strategy is often to click rapidly in anticipation of the firing-state. Once the missile is fired, your opponent will again be notified of this action in their HUD by both a message and a visual indicator showing the missile's trajectory. At this point they can take two actions..
In consideration of the weapon's strengths and weaknesses, the Sabre launcher is best suited to be most effective against enemy vehicles and fast moving (and often high flying) enemy flag cappers.
When the target is in the air an indicator will alert that it is locking on to that target. If I am not wrong, it should target the enemy nearest to the crosshair. After that it will lock and you are allowed to fire only then.

I want to hook up an Apple TV 2 (the second, small black version) to my 58" Samsung television, and want to use an RDP client that comes built into Google Chrome to control the Apple TV from my Macbook Air.
This would effectively enable me to 'remote' my tv using my computer.
The only questions that I have are as follows:
Do you have any tips or recommendations as to how effectively I can root Apple TV, remove the iOS build, and install another operating system on it?
Which OS should I replace with the iOS build? I just checked to find that even Ubuntu demands 1GB of RAM, whereas the Apple TV only has 128MB of RAM, with a 1Ghz A4 Processor.

Each year at entering class orientation, Rutgers School of Law–Newark introduces first-year students to the many opportunities available for pro bono work and internships with public interest organizations. Such opportunities enable students to help provide legal assistance to economically-disadvantaged New Jersey residents while exposing them to real-world scenarios.
In its Fall 2013 newsletter, Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) spotlights its growing partnership with Rutgers–Newark Law School, thanking students and faculty "for their wholehearted support of pro bono work and commitment to social justice."
Lisa Perri '14, who volunteered this fall at VLJ, notes that her experiences – which included appearing under attorney supervision in municipal court and in family court – will be beneficial when she joins Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP as an associate upon graduation. "VLJ exposed me to different areas of law than what my practice will concentrate in," she tells the newsletter, "and the skills I developed here will undoubtedly carry over and contribute meaningfully to my work at the firm."
The partnership between VLJ and Rutgers–Newark Law extends beyond the individual student and reaches into the classroom. Professor Taja-Nia Henderson, who has added a skills component to her Confinement, Reentry and Policy Seminar, gives students the option to build legal skills by engaging in a project in lieu of writing a paper. Six of her students worked with the VLJ program, ReLeSe (Newark Reentry Legal Services), and had the opportunity to represent nine clients with driver's license suspensions. In all but one case, which was negotiated down from a fine to community service, they successfully advocated for the dismissal of all outstanding tickets, fines and warrants.
VLJ also applauds the participation of students in the Civil Justice Clinic, under the guidance of clinic director Professor Jack Feinstein, in the organization's divorce and consumer law clinics. Student experiences include screening clients for eligibility, observing attorney consultations, drafting pro se pleadings, and reviewing supportive documents.
The relationship between the law school and Volunteer Lawyers for Justice has strengthened with the Neisser Public Interest Program's development of the Pro Bono Bankruptcy Project. The endeavor pairs law students with a pro bono attorney to represent clients needing Chapter 7 bankruptcy assistance. Students work with the attorney providing client consultations, reviewing documents, and preparing files and pleadings, with the goal of discharging the client's debt. Approximately 40 students volunteered for the program this fall, assisting 15 clients referred by VLJ.
Jessica Kitson, Neisser Public Interest Program director, says of the relationship between the law school and VLJ: "We are very fortunate to have such a strong partnership with one of the leading public interest organizations in New Jersey. Whether through individual student internships or partnership with our Pro Bono Bankruptcy Project, our students have been able to benefit greatly through the work and commitment to pro bono that VLJ exemplifies."| Read Story

In the first line of a git commit message I have a habit of mentioning the file that modified if a change doesn't span multiple files, for example:
Add [somefunc] to [somefile]
Is this a good thing to do or is it unnecessary?
In the first line of a git commit message I have a habit of mentioning the file that modified if a change doesn't span multiple files, for example:
Is this a good thing to do or is it unnecessary?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Apr 26 '12 at 16:47
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Version control tools are powerful enough to let the person see what files were modified, and what methods were added. It means that in general, log messages which plainly duplicate what already exists are polluting the log.
You added
This means that your log messages must rather explain what features/bugs were affected or what was the purpose of the refactoring.
No. There are plenty of ways to examine the contents of a commit. The comment should describe the purpose of the commit.
Don't forget to add TICKET/ISSUE NUMBER .
If you have any feature or issue tracking system with a ticket # or issue #, be sure to put that ID # in the commit. That will help anyone who wants to know more about the feature or issue that you were working on.
In my last project, there was a macro which was developed to make sure that the first 7 digits of the comment was a valid issue number from clear quest (our issue/feature tracking system).
I do that type of thing when I'm committing e.g. the fix for a defect that required changes to multiple files. This makes it a bit easier to tell what actually changed without looking at individual files in the changeset.
For single file changesets, this is unnecessary.
The first line is always a high-level description of the changeset, like a link to the defect or user story.
If it's relevant information in the narrative of the commit message, then yes, include it. If the only bit of information is the filename itself, then no.
For example this make sense: "Moved the build_foo() function from fooutil.c to foobase.c, since most programs that want to use build_foo() are already including foobase.c"
This one doesn't: "Updated the build_foo() in fooutil.c to take a bar parameter."
The only time I could see this being useful for a single file checkin is if you've made changes to a function used in many places within the file with the result that the diff is cluttered. Even then I'd put the change tracker # and a plain text description of the change first.
I think the real question here is how limited in scope are your commits? If you wait to commit a variety of unrelated changes together in one commit, then you might feel the need to specify what files were changed for what purpose.
However, if you simply made more narrow commits more frequently, then a single commit would explain which files were modified and you could simply describe what the purpose was in the message.
More commits, more often. That's the way you can avoid being so verbose in your messages.
It shouldn't
Everybody who is interested can see changes in a history
It's also not feasible in larger systems as many files might be auto generated

$12 off all video game pre-orders $49.99 and up
Promo Code: EMCJNNH224
Expires: 10/04/2012
Search "ppssPreorderPromo12", if the link doesn't work.
33 Comments add a comment
Just used it to preorder Black Ops 2. I've noticed the COD games never receive a reduction in pricing, even years later, so I couldn't pass this up.
The tradeoff of course for someone with Amazon Prime membership (as I have) is the shipping is free 3-day, so I doubt you get it release day (free release day delivery with Prime), but I'll save $12 and wait a few days no problem. Others may come to a different conclusion.
I bought Dance Central 3 which turns out to be 37.99 after the code.
I notice no Wii U games this time...
@pasquirlio: There are some Wii U games in the list. 34 games as well as accessories.
The games don't have to be on the list as long as it's pre-order and above the price. Dance Central 3 was not on the list last night but the code worked for me.
Promo only works for one item in your cart.
Works on Wii U games, and the Wii U pro controller.
@afterburn2600: What? BLOPS came out in Nov 2010, I bought it for $29.99 at Best Buy in January. MW3 came out last year Novemeber. Again, $30 at Target in March. I'm sure if you watch the ads, within 6 months BLOPS-2 will be half price.
@afterburn2600: they shipp the day before it comes out so when bf3 premium ed came out i got mine the day of
@cpsyduck: then finish that checkout and just put the other game in your cart and buy again
@bmjustice: You're right. When I did the search, all that came up were PC games, but when I went to preorder Pikmin 3 and NSMBU, (individually, of course,) the code worked both times. I think previously the codes weren't working for first party Wii U games, so this is outstanding.
I cannot visit newegg at work, does the pre-order for Black Ops 2 come with Nuketown as well?
I used this to preorder Grand Theft Auto 5! Awesome.
Thanks! Black Ops 2 will be coming :-)
It worked for Skylanders:Giants. Sweet!
Worked for Last Guardian! Thanks!
Worked on Resident Evil 6 and it's not a pre-order anymore.
Love it! I'm so excited that this worked for first party Wii U Games! Bring on the Mario!
Works for Dishonored
@lordreaper28: When you place BO2 in your shopping cart and enter the promo code, it says "Pre-order: Ships After 11/13/2012" According to that, it would not even ship until release day.
@thelastgunslinger: trust me they ship the day before also the same day they charge you, heres my order of bf3 premium ed, and look up the tracking # and see the arrival date https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-cfBPq-H-VrbTNhZnp3TlJSbmM
@zrmeyer: Fair enough...I was more referring to non-sale prices, the mentality being, "Hey, I want X game that's been out for Y years (at some random time of the year Z). Surely the price is low... Not so much with COD." My logic's probably not perfect, though.
@lordreaper28: Cool, which shipping did you pick for that?
not good for black ops with nuketown zombies
@thelastgunslinger: the free 3 day
@fedish925: you mean hardened ed yea i noticed that sucks but it works on normal ed
"The Last of Us" for $12 less. Sweet. As usual....since it releases the week after Christmas, there will be no store discounts on anything since all the kiddies will be paying full price with all those gift cards that grandma gave them.
Cool, but after getting burned a number of times (most recently ME3, which I wouldn't play until patched, and by that time it was 40 bucks at several locations) I don't preorder any more.
Just picked up New Super Mario Brothers U for $47.99. The kids will be excited. :)
Worked for Halo 4
Unfortunately does not work with the Hardened Edition of Black Ops II

A vertex $v$ of a simplex in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a "top" vertex if there exists a point $p \neq v$ in the simplex with $v \ge p$ (i.e. $v_1 \ge p_1$, ... , $v_n \ge p_n$). Similarly, $v$ is a "bottom" vertex if there exists $p \neq v$ with $v \le p$.
It's not hard to show that any simplex has at least one top or bottom vertex. I'm looking for a test I can run (preferably in polynomial time) that identifies at least one such vertex, and whether it's top or bottom.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
