What does the scientific research say about productivity and IQ?
Most people would assume that intelligent people accomplish more in their lives ( ie. are more productive) but I have never heard of any evidence to support this.
Perhaps there is research to the contrary? ( Do people with High IQ's procrastinate more? )
Update: Interesting medical journal article:Why it is 'better' to be reliable but dumb than smart but slapdash

Gluten Free Expo will be held Saturday in Greenville
Published: Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 1:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 1:23 p.m.
Going gluten-free is a frustrating but, at times, necessary endeavor.
Want to go?
What: Gluten Free Expo
Where: Salvation Army Kroc Center, Waggoner Conference Center, 424 Westfield Street, Greenville
When: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday
Tickets: $5 (ages 12 and older. No strollers)
More information: email firstname.lastname@example.com
To lessen the vexation, the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) and Ingles are holding a Gluten Free Expo on Saturday to inform consumers about alternatives to gluten-laden foods.
"We have 42 local and national vendors," said Linda Williams, GIG of Greenville branch manager.
GIG, whose mission is" to support persons with gluten intolerances, celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis and other gluten sensitivities through consumer and industry services and programs that positively promote healthy lives," operates throughout the country with locations in Asheville, N.C., and Greenville.
Last year, more than 300 people attended the expo, and Williams expects closer to 400 this year as the gluten-free movement grows.
Part of the problem with going gluten free is the difficulty that ensues when trying to do basic cooking. Executive sous chef Ted Chambers from Breakwater Restaurant in Greenville will alleviate some of the stress by offering a gluten free cooking demonstration at 10:30 a.m.
After Chambers' demonstration, Gigi Stewart, a former behavioral neuroscience researcher who now runs the business Gluten Free Gigi, will discuss her own struggles with celiac disease and other food allergies, her switch to the gluten free lifestyle and the science behind food allergies and food choices.
A raffle will be held with gluten free gift baskets and Ingles Markets gift cards going to the winners.

I am looking for a web/mobile app which could be used to assign tasks to oneself and, more importantly, others who are in your defined network and associated project management. The mobile app is very important as I would like to use it with contractors who are in the field so they can update the status or request more instruction from their mobile devices.
Email, as everyone knows, is the worst way to communicate work orders. I want a compact workflow management system with both a web and mobile interface that doesn't have too many fields of input and is easy to use.
Is there a free application out there that matches this description?

Miura transform for W-algebras of classical types can be found in e.g. Sec. 6.3.3 of Bouwknegt-Schoutens. Is there a similar explicit Miura transform for W-algebras of exceptional types, say, E6? It's 20 years since the review by B-S, so I'd hope somebody worked this out ...
Yes, for the "quasi-classical" case(i.e. for the case when the $W$-algebra is commutative, which occurs when the level is either infinite or critical) it was defined by Drinfeld and Sokolov long time ago; you can look at Section 4 of http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/0305/0305216v1.pdf for a good review.
For the "quantum" case (i.e. for arbitrary level) it was studied by Feigin and Frenkel, but I am not sure what the right reference is; you can look for example at Section 4 of http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/9408/9408109v1.pdf, but there should be more modern references. In fact, the main tool in the work of Feigin and Frenkel is the screening operators, which describe the $W$-algebra explicitly as a subalgebra of (the vertex operator algebra associated to) the Heisenberg algebra (where the embedding to the Heisenberg algebra is the Miura transformation).

2013 Pendine Sands Amateur Hot Rod RacesWritten by on February 3, 2014 Contributors: Bryn Musselwhite Times And Tides
It's a sad fact that land speed racing is one of the least recognized motorsports there is, compared to the achievements of those who participate. But look at the facts; there are only a handful of recognized venues on a global scale. When you then consider there's only one or maybe two events a year within realistic reach of most racers (if you're really lucky), you have to wonder just why you'd ever want to land speed race? But you do though, don't you? That's the hook of pushing you and your car faster than you've ever been, that irresistible draw that will make you scour the globe for a place to go as fast you dare. That solitary speed fix, no corners, no grandstands full of supporting spectators, and pit facilities that are based on what you can carry.
Now add in the tide, because that's what organizer Neil Fretwell, of the UK's Vintage Hot Rod Association (VHRA), also had to deal with recently at the first-ever VHRA Pendine Sands Speed Trials—not that it came as a surprise because Pendine is a small seaside town in South Wales on the western side of Great Britain. Pendine Sands is a 7-mile, arrow-straight beach, and the fastest land speeds on earth were set here back in the '20s, Sir Malcolm Campbell being the first of a few to use the Sands when the roads couldn't contain the rising speeds anymore. His first record of 146.16 mph was set in 1924. J.G. Parry-Thomas sadly died here in 1927 whilst trying to beat Campbell's later record of 174.22 mph; he was the first person to lose their life in the pursuit of a land speed record and his car, "BABS", was buried in the dunes after the crash. Thus land speed racing at Pendine Sands ceased for the next 86 years.
Nowadays BABS sits in a dedicated museum overlooking the beach, having been dug up and restored.
So it was in the spirit of these early pioneers that the VHRA worked so hard to put on this event, properly sanctioned and supported by the local council and the International Organization of Professional Drivers. The first order of business after signing on and drinking some tea as the tide washes out, is to walk and clear the course of any debris. It's an awe-inspiring feeling to know that there's such a limited time on the sand. How many runs will the almost 100 signed-on racers have? How will the surface change as it dries? Will there be a sweet time to run? Has anybody here experienced three figures on sand before? "Some, don't know, maybe, and no" are the answers and not necessarily in that order.
With a good idea of what needs to be done, the entire pack of racers, helpers, and club members get a fenced-off pit area and start line set up roughly a quarter-mile along the beach. Only pre-1949 vehicles are eligible for entry, there are no post 1954 vehicles allowed in the pits, and only period-correct modifications are allowed. Don't mistake this is for a revival-style event, there isn't a dress code but there is a sense of style to the pits that comes with people who enjoy what they do, and the way they do it.
The first drivers to complete the course—which consists of a 1/2-mile buildup and then a timed 100-yard section marked by flags—come back and talk of the conditions. The way the cars feel like they're skating on small marbles and the engine revs tell tales as you hear the sounds roll across the beach, up, up, up and then some hesitancy maybe before pushing through. The timed section was planned as a flying quarter-mile, but a patch of wet sand farther up the beach put paid to that. This section is referred to as "the porridge", stops a car in its tracks, and is in a different place at every low tide.
Times aren't broadcast but a few drivers are breaking into three figures and the fastest speed of the day eventually goes to Neil Bennett in the Batten Special, which ran a fantastic 114.56 mph. Bennett has piloted the Flathead-powered Special for decades and the level of experience he has with the car shows in his success. The fact he drove it in a leather jerkin, tweed jacket, and cravat just adds to the whole devilish attitude. There may be a distinctly American flavor to the content, but the attitude is very British.
With three runs for each competitor completed, the two start line girls get a chance to relax and as we stand looking down the beach to the collecting area...the hot rods start to return. What happens next is one of the most magical moments I've experienced, as over 80 racers came rolling back down the Sands, spread out and celebrating.
As the people retreat to the safety of higher ground, and the clouds open to deliver the rain storm they'd threatened all day, the sea comes back to reclaim the course, washing away all trace of us having been there. This just makes those few hours of action even more special.

Participants gathered around the museum above the beach while the course was prepped, turning it into an impromptu parking lot. Scrutineering was undertaken here too.The surface could almost be El Mirage from this angle. The scenery, not so much! Dan Parker's 89.82 secured him the V8F/K class record (Vintage eight-cylinder Flathead closed car).Rebecca Dunn makes her way back to the pits in her chopped A Tudor. The VHRA class designations are unique, with V or L denoting Vintage or Late, then the number of cylinders, then B for Blown, followed by F if Flathead powered. Finally, C (Closed), R (Roadster), M (Modified), or K (full bodied).There was a cut-off date of 1949 for cars racing, and 1954 for cars in the pits. The vehicular "dress code" required them to be "in period", too, which made the event all the more special.Mark Gee ran a best of 68.91 mph in his Flathead '32 three-window, though family bragging rights went to wife, Melissa, for an 88.68-mph run in her small-block–powered '32 five-window!Chris Hosegood sets off on a 92.06-mph run in his single-seater Flathead Modified with just a vintage leather helmet and a fine mustache for protection.With a small-block Chevy in place of the four-banger, Martin Grossmith's A roadster managed a 91.91 best, no doubt thanks to the aerodynamic qualities of that 'tache-equipped bubble visor.
Mike Scotney's T Modified was pieced together in the few weeks prior to the event, using a tri-carbed Flathead he originally ran in a '32 roadster back in the '80s.A 66.37 was the best Toby Stapleton coaxed from his four-banger–powered Modified, which spent much of its life as a dirt track racer in California. It's lived in England for many years now.Now this is how we'd like to spend a day at the beach! Adrian Grantham kept the ragtop up on his Flatty-motored roadster pickup.Over 80 racers returned to the pits en masse after the third and final run of the day, a sight and sound to behold. There are numerous videos of this online. Here Billy Roe high-fives organizer Neil Fretwell, who had closed proceedings with the final run of the day himself.It wasn't all Flathead fours and V-8s. Later-model engines were acceptable as evidenced by the small-block Chevy in Andy Morrall's A roadster.

Crafty governor causing tax increases and hurting the poor
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is crafty. He proposes banning cities and towns from levying a property tax on motor vehicles valued up to approximately $28,000. This would increase state revenues because people who rent only have their cars to use for the property-tax credit on their state income tax forms. These individuals will then have to pay more in income taxes.
The cities and towns of Connecticut would have to raise their taxes to make up for the losses, and individuals who rent will see their monthly rents go up. Landlords will have to raise rents since their property-tax bills will go up.

When I try to add subscript(I write O_L and O_R to denote left and right ) in my text all the text after that becomes italicized. Any ideas what might be causing this?
What is causing this behavior is the difference between TeX's math mode and text mode. In math mode, each character is a separate entity. Mathematicians, unlike programmmers, don't believe in long expressive names. To a mathematician, a two-character identifier is one character too long.
It's not just your subscripted names that are subject to this treatment. Suppose you have some variable named 'foobar' and you want to use this name in some math expression. To you, that 'foobar' is just a multi-character identifier. That is not how TeX views things in math mode. In math mode, TeX views 'foobar' as if it were 'f*o*o*b*a*r', but with implicit rather than explicit multiplication. TeX will insert a small amount of space between each letter to show that each letter is indeed a separate entity and that these entities are connected by implicit multiplication.
You need to override this behavior whenever you have a multi-character identifier, a multi-character subscript, a multi-character superscript, or any other multi-character entity and TeX is in math mode. There are lots of ways to accomplish this. All of them temporarily throw TeX back into LR (text) mode. One simple approach is to put the entity in a box. Another, and my personal choice, is to use the
The way I use subscript and superscript in regular text is using the following two commands

Of course, you can name those as you want, you don't hate to keep the french names I use :)

(CNN) -- One person was killed after a stage in Toronto's Downsview Park collapsed Saturday afternoon, minutes before spectators were set to begin streaming in to watch a concert by the alternative rock group Radiohead, authorities said.
Ian McClelland, deputy commander of Toronto Emergency Medical Services, said that city paramedics pronounced the person dead at the scene.
Another person who suffered serious injuries due to the collapse was transported to Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital, while two others with minor injuries were assessed and released, McClelland said. He added that he didn't believe any others were affected.
The victims were setting up a stage in the park when a "scaffolding-type structure collapsed" about 40 to 60 feet above the main stage area, said Toronto fire Capt. Mike Strapko.
Reports: Indiana State Fair stage where 7 died was inadequate
The incident occurred around 4 p.m., according to Toronto Police Service Constable Harrison Ford. The weather was good at the time, with no storm or significant winds, he said.
The gates were scheduled to open, allowing fans onto the concert grounds, at 5 p.m., according to CNN affiliate CBC.
That show -- which was sold out and had been scheduled for Saturday evening -- was canceled due to what the production company Live Nation Entertainment described as "unforeseen circumstances."
"Radiohead concert canceled. There has been an incident, more details forthcoming," said a post on Downsview Park's official Facebook page.

Spring is a season of new beginnings - it evokes thoughts of renewal and hope for a better future. As Spinning® Instructors we have a unique opportunity to guide our students toward a more fulfilling life by creating space for them to examine their hopes and dreams. A basic tenant of the Spinning® program is that body follows mind - we can set this process in motion through thoughtful class design.
It is said that from a good beginning all else flows… By taking a few moments to orchestrate the environment our students enter we set the stage for success. We can provide an antidote to daily stress accumulation, increase perception, cognition and athletic performance by:
- adjusting lighting
- choosing music
- room layout
At this point you might be thinking "been there - done that!", but let's take a moment and examine each of the above variables in light of burgeoning and continuing research in each area.
Mounting research is shedding light on the effects of blue light (think Fluorescent's and LED's) and its ability to suppress melatonin and alter circadian rhythms. That said - let's adjust lighting for the time of day. Our morning students require a different physiological response than our evening students. AND what about the middle of the day?
Studies have long shown that music can alter anxiety, heart rate variability, respiration, blood pressure, cortisol, and salivary IgA. In general our autonomic responses are synchronized with music. This allows us to powerfully affect our students' physiological responses in class through our music selection. That's right - we have the ultimate power! Our challenge is to integrate the physiological influences of music with the science of training and program design in order to produce optimum outcomes. I'd like to hear your experiences.
We often give cursory thought to our room layout - we might want to think again! The theory of Proxemics provides new food for thought. Proxemics is the theory of using measurable distance and space to make people feel comfortable or more relaxed while interacting with them. The theory provides a great template for placing students, bikes and ourselves in the perfect spot. Who knew?
I do know that every moment is an opportunity for a new beginning. I also know that by packing our tool bags full of knowledge and by sharing our experiences, we are able to assist our students with becoming more healthy, happy and fit than they ever dreamed possible. Let's get started!
"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

(Christof Koepsel/Getty Images)HAMBURG, Germany -- As the godfather of Detroit boxing, Emanuel Steward touched the lives of thousands of kids trying to make it in an unforgiving sport."He sure did," said Tony Harrison. "And he never asked for a penny."The 22-year old Harrison is the latest potential star to come out of Steward's stable. With crushing power and pinpoint accuracy, Harrison, Steward told me once, fought like a young Tommy Hearns. For the last year, Steward brought Harrison along to Klitschko camps and put him on the undercard of his fights.Like many, Harrison was rocked by Steward's death last month."It's devastating," Harrison said. "It came too quick. Everyone was expecting him to heal and get through it. But God called on him. Sometimes He just calls on you. But he's resting now. He fought a hard fight and now he is upstairs, resting."In Harrison -- who will face veteran Daniel Urbanski on the undercard of Wladimir Klitschko's heavyweight title defense against Mariusz Wach on Saturday -- Steward's legacy has a chance to live on into the next decade. A rising junior middleweight, Harrison (10-0) has won eight fights by knockout, cruising to comfortable decision wins in the other two. Members of Team Klitschko say that in sparring Harrison has given Johnathan Banks -- a heavyweight preparing for a showdown with Seth Mitchell later this month -- all he could handle.With Steward gone, Harrison is on his own, operating for the first time as a professional without a head trainer or manager."I'm speaking for myself now," Harrison said. "That's why it's important for me to go out in this next fight and look good. [Manny] taught me a lot and I learned a lot. Now I'm just taking what I learned and try to get to the next level. It's going to be hard to do alone. It's why it's important for me to win big in this next fight."Like Klitschko, Harrison has a little more fuel for this fight."I'm going to the ring with a chip on my shoulder," Harrison said. "I wish he was here so bad. I miss him. This fight is for him."-- Chris Mannix More Counter Punch

Mike's method seems a fine answer to me, but if you just occasionally want to keep an existing output, for instance as a reference to see whether a new evaluation causes a change or not, I usually place the insert beam between input and output cells and press enter, creating an empty cell in-between. This prevents the original output cell from being overwritten.
In addition, I find Ctrl-L (Copy Input from Above) and Ctrl-Shift-L (Copy Output from Above) often useful in this context. Both commands can also be found in the Insert menu.

The 16 Most Hilariously Ineffective Propaganda Posters
#8. Keep Pitching (USA)
The Message:
Don't slack off while fighting Nazis, or this could be you.
The Problem:
"Keep pitching with BOTH HANDS. Because you don't have hands. Did you get it? Did you get the joke I made?"
"Don't be like that. Come on, cheer up. Give us a clap."
#7. Don't Give Your Blood (USA)
The Message:
If you're not careful at work, you could hurt yourself -- AND THEN THE NAZIS WIN.
The Problem:
"The 7th Column" is a fairly obscure way to refer to workplace accidents during wartime, so in the absence of that context, this poster just looks like the government is discouraging people from donating blood to a particularly unpopular U.S. regiment. (And if you're gonna do that, definitely don't do it by jamming a screwdriver into your hand. We have needles now, dude.) Presumably this misunderstanding is what led the government to issue this clarification:
Via Ihm.nlm.nig.gov
"... dumbass."
Note that it still looks like he stabbed his hand to get the blood out himself. On second thought, maybe needles hadn't quite caught on back then after all.
#6. Why Don't They Come? (Canada)
The Message:
Something as enormous as World War I is a sad and lonely experience for just one soldier. Why not join him?
The Problem:
"All right, let's take out those cannons over there ... HEY! Goddammit, rifle! Stop daydreaming about being a hockey stick! What the fuck? How many times do I have to tell- ARGH I'VE BEEN SHOT!"
"Shhh! Goddammit, just give me five freakin' minutes to see the end of this!"
Also, how long did you have to look at that before you realized the guy is NOT fighting the battle blindfolded?
#5. Look Out for Buffers (USSR)
Via Retronaut.co
The Message:
The Soviet Union was never the safest place to be a worker. Injuries in the workplace soared like Sputnik under the communists, which is why posters like this one went up to keep an acceptable amount of the population's brains intact.
The Problem:
We seriously have no idea how this guy could have found himself in this position in the first place. How the hell was this a problem that they had to warn people about? How many lives did idly standing between train cars and accidentally having your head squashed claim in the Soviet Union? Look at the horrible realization on that guy's face -- he's saying, "No. You took father and Pyotr and Ivan, and now you've come to take me. I knew this day would come. Forgive me, mother."
#4. Private Caution Says ... (USA)
The Message:
Hey, did you know that having unprotected sex can spread diseases?
The Problem:
No, you probably didn't, because you're like 12. Seriously, whoever drew that cartoon of an officer urgently waking up a child clearly wasn't informed that it was going to appear in the middle of a poster with instructions for safe sex, leading to some horrible implications.
Let's try to decipher what's supposed to be happening here. Is the officer going to escort the soldier to the showers and force him to wash his privates? Or are we about to witness the incident that led to the STD emergency in the first place? Either way, Private Caution still gets spooked whenever he so much as sees another adult passing by, judging by this other poster.
#3. Don't Clutter Your Working Place (USSR)
Via Retronaut.co
The Message:
Clutter makes baby Stalin cry. If you leave your glorious communist tools lying around the workplace, you'll trip over them like a shithead.
The Problem:
Is it at all clear to you what injury this guy has suffered, or what caused it? Did those giant Legos fall on him? Is he tripping over that tiny bit of junk near his right foot?
Actually, if you look at the wrench in mid-air, we're pretty sure it had been balanced precariously on one of those pieces of debris in just such a way so that when this guy's foot came down on it, it flipped up and smacked him in the balls. "DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU, COMRADE!"
#2. Loose Talk (USA)
The Message:
Hey, asshole, don't try to impress your date by blabbing about weapons-manufacturing installations and top secret attack plans: You never know who's listening. Just do what the rest of us do and lie about your penis.
The Problem:
"Don't turn now."
"What? What is it?"
"A guy with a giant ear just sat next to us."
"What do you -- holy shit!"
"Joe, I told you not to ... Wait. Is that Hitler?"
"Probably. Honestly, I'm way more impressed by the giant ear part."
"And why is he dressed like Charlie Chaplin?"
"I've never seen anything like that ear. That's just grotesque."
"OK, now he got up and started walking."
"Do you think he heard us?"
"I think he's crying."
#1. Keep Mum (U.K.)
Via St-andrews.ac.uk
The Message:
Even without stealth Hitlers lurking around, it's still important not to blab about the war effort, because you never know who might be a spy.
The Problem:
Gender equality wasn't such a hot issue in the '40s, and so it was deemed necessary to inform the population that women are not, in fact, inanimate objects and can not only understand what you're saying, but, under certain circumstances, even repeat it. There were a few other "Keep mum -- she's not so dumb!" posters produced in the U.K. ...
Via Thehistoryblog.com
"Tell ya what. You go make papa a sandwich, and I'll tolerate your crying and rambling bullshit tonight."
... and naturally, they all depicted blondes. Also, note that the word "so" isn't strictly necessary to the wordplay, they just threw it in there so women didn't think this was a compliment or something.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS on a Dell Inspiron 1200. Most of the time when I power up the regular login-screen appears. Sometimes a minimalist white text on a black screen appears. The screen requests my user ID. When I have typed it in and pressed "enter" it requests my password. When I attempt to type it in the flashing cursor does not move and no dots appear. When I press "enter" I am notified that the login is incorrect. All I can do is hold the power button down and start over. Generally, the second attempt works. My hard drive is the original. Is it time for a new one or do I have a motherboard issue? Or has the software become corrupted?
What I believe has happened is there is a singular missing file that supports the visual aspect of logging in. Your password not being accepted may have been a mistype, but there is certainly nothing wrong physically with your computer, otherwise it wouldn't even boot. Try installing a different display manager (like GDM) once you get logged in.
On a side note, the password issue of no moving cursor is normal. Those both happen on purpose in the terminal prompt and are for added security.

Pretty straitforward: If a field has a metric in which it is complete can it have a metric in which it is not complete? By metric I mean field norm of course
How about the algebraic closure of the $p$-adics $\mathbb{Q}_p^{\mathrm{alg}}$. This is not complete under the $p$-adic metric, but it is isomorphic as a field to the complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$ which is complete under the standard metric (as both fields are algebraically closed of characteristic zero with the same transcendence degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ (assuming AC of course)).
But if you want the second field to have nonarchimedean norm, take the $p$-adic complex field $\mathbb{C}_p$ (the completion of $\mathbb{Q}_p^{\mathrm{alg}}$).
I claim that, for a field $K$, the following are equivalent:
Some of these facts are proved in
(see e.g. Theorem 1).
Let me prove here that (iv) $\implies$ (iii), which answers the OP's question in a rather definitive way.
1) Suppose first that $K$ has characteristic $0$. Then $K$ contains $\mathbb{Q}$, which admits the $p$-adic valuations $v_p$. By Theorem 1 of loc. cit., each $v_p$ extends to a valuation on $K$.
Now suppose that $K$ has characteristic $p$ and contains an element $t$ which is not algebraic over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Thus $K$ contains the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$, which carries infinitely many inequivalent nontrivial valuations $v_P$ corresponding to the irreducible polynomials $P \in \mathbb{F}_p[t]$ (and one more corresponding to the point at infinity on the projective line).
2) (F.K. Schmidt) If a field $K$ is complete with respect to two inequivalent rank one valuations, it is algebraically closed and uncountable. See e.g. Theorem 24 of
3) So we are reduced to the case in which $K$ is algebraically closed and uncountable. Then $K$ is isomorphic to the algebraic closure of $K(t)$. If we give $K$ the trivial valuation and $K(t)$ the Gauss norm $v$, then the algebraic closure of $K(t)$ has infinite degree over $K(t)$ so any extension of $v$ to the algebraic closure is not complete. The image of the Gauss norm $v$ under the group $PGL_2(K)$ of linear fractional transformations gives us infinitely more pairwise inequivalent valuations.

Oops, something didn't work.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the feedback. The build we were showing you was "hot off the presses" so to speak and was also accessed through TS. I wouldn't focus on the perf at this point, it's the tooling that we're trying to show you. As for the video quality I have to render it this way so you can see the screencast at the same time and also so it doesn't end up being a 2 gig download . Heh, I'm not a video editor, I'm a code junkie so I appologise for any roughness. You might try just downloading it and playing it outside the SL player to see if that helps.
Wow, it's like 2003 all over again! Rudimentary data grid, slow clunky drag and drop programming, fighting the design surface, and code gen that inserts code into the same file I am supposed to use with "do not edit" comments... isn't that what partial classes are for?
I realize WPF is the future for LOB... but it looks like a really DISTANT future right now... WinForms smokes this thing for LOB.
in yourself,

COMSTOCK PARK — Down a run with two out and two on in the bottom of the eighth inning, Whitecaps designated hitter Jeff Holm launched one down the right-field line toward the seats.
It soared over the fence but landed a few feet foul.
Two pitches later, Holm launched another one even harder down the line, but again, it was a few feet foul.
Holm finally connected with an RBI single scoring the tying and go-ahead runs in a 3-2 comeback victory Friday night at Fifth Third Ballpark. It was the seventh consecutive win for the Whitecaps.
"They were changeups that were right where I was looking," Holm said. "I was hitless in the entire series and I told myself that I wasn't going to let him win. I thought the first one was (out), but it kept tailing. I had to forget it quickly and lock back in."
The ball was misplayed in right field and Holm, a former Michigan State star, scurried to third.
"I try to keep emotions out of it, but I couldn't help it when I got to third," he said. "I was pumped."
Peoria loaded the bases with one out in the top of the ninth inning. Zac Reninger got C.J. McElroy — son of former Cubs pitcher Chuck McElroy — for the second out and Justin Ringo to ground out to end the game.
"We have too many good players to give up," Holm said. "We never felt out of it."
The Whitecaps honored former Tiger Mickey Stanley before the game as part of their Tiger Fridays.
The Whitecaps trailed from the outset as Peoria's Vaughn Bryan led off the game with a triple off Whitecaps' All-Star pitcher Buck Farmer and quickly scored.
Farmer got a no-decision, allowing one earned run in five innings. He struck out five and walked one.
"He was solid after a leadoff triple," Graham said.
Montreal Robertson (5-5) got the win with three innings without allowing an earned run.
In the top of the sixth inning, the Chiefs scored again when Whitecaps first baseman Dominic Ficociello threw the ball away after recording an out at first.
The Whitecaps had their first chance in the bottom of the sixth with the bases loaded and one out.
But Raph Rhymes struck out and Ficociello grounded out to end the inning.
West Michigan catcher Bennett Pikar doubled in a run in the seventh inning.
In the eighth, Wynton Bernard and Javier Betancourt singled to lead off the inning. Rhymes struck out again and Ficicello followed with a strikeout, bringing Holm to the plate.
"It was a big inning," Whitecaps manager Andrew Graham said. "Holm came up big. He was locked in. He has been working on his swing and it showed tonight. It was big for him."

Exactly as the title asks; where do Catholics get their Scriptural support for the idea of Purgatory? To be more specific, how I think of Purgatory (which may be incorrect) is that it's a temporary place of suffering before one goes on to Heaven.
Sign up

From what I understand, the idea behind Purgatory is that it is a place or state where sinful believers go before they are admitted to Heaven. It is believed that it is possible for the living to pray for and atone for the sins of the dead so they may be admitted into Heaven.
This belief is mostly based on 2 Maccabees 39-46, which is a part of the Catholic bible. (This book is considered apocrypha for many denominations. See What is the origin of the Catholic apocrypha?)
(Italics were added by me in the following)
a_hardin has it pretty well summed up.
There's also 1 Peter 3:18-20 (NIV) that supports this notion quite well.
These "imprisoned spirits" had to be somewhere.
It's a stretch to make it from this verse to the Catholic concept of Purgatory. However, this odd little section of scripture could easily be seen to support the concept of Purgatory.
There are a lot of scriptures that could reference purgatory, but nothing that outright says "when you die, you will go to a sort of holding place where you have to wait until all your sins have been repaid".
There was a large part of the Jewish tradition (and there may still be) that held with praying for people after they died. Gen. 50:10; Num. 20:29; Deut. 34:8 all reference times when that happened. And this probably played into the later beliefs by Catholic and Orthodox Christians in purgatory. I would point out, however, that as Jesus died to pay for our sins, all our debts have been paid and we have been washed clean so that we don't have to pay for them anymore.
Below you will find links to two different sites I looked at that had Biblical "references" and some of my own analysis based on the context of the verses and my own experience with the Bible.
The biggest Biblical support the article quotes is from 2 Maccabees, a book that most Protestants would not be familiar with as it is part of the Biblical apocrypha (referenced since the 5th century, but first separated from the rest of the Bible by Martin Luther in 1534). Most of the books called Apocryphal are recognized as canonical by the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Which is why those sects and not Protestant sects would hold to a doctrine supported by this verse.
The other verse referenced by the article is 1 Corinthians 15:29 which says
At best, this verse is a vague reference to baptizing dead people, where baptizing could be read as praying for the removal of sins. At worst, it's completely confusing and should not be used as the basis for a doctrine.
Site 2
Matt. 5:26,18:34; Luke 12:58-59 - Are all in different parables and reference being punished for sin and getting out when you have repaid your debt. This could be a reference to purgatory, where you must remain until the debts of your sins have been paid. However, since Jesus died to pay for our sins, this is a case where the more clearly defined and supported doctrine would supersede a possible interpretation of a parable.
Matt. 12:32 - The argument here is that since it says they won't be forgiven in this world or the next, that means that it is possible to be forgiven "in the next". Some interpretations of the Bible say "this age or the next", "in this world or that which is to come", or "in this life or in the life to come" which seem to indicate when Jesus returns again rather than a world after death that is separate from Heaven or Hell.
Luke 16:19-31 - The rich man, from Hell, begs Lazarus to warn his brothers so that they don't end up there too. The Greek word used is hades which the Jewish people interpreted as a place of waiting for final judgement but is interpreted by Protestants to mean Hell.
Heb. 12:23 - The spirits of just men are made perfect. And this happens after their death, so that must mean it happens somewhere other than Heaven or Hell. OR it could happen before they get to Heaven so that when they are in Heaven they are perfect.
Rev. 21:4 - God shall wipe away their tears and there will be no more suffering. There's no suffering in Heaven and no wiping away of tears in Hell, therefore purgatory. OR for those who are still on Earth at the end times God will wipe away their tears.
Phil. 2:10 - Under the Earth means purgatory OR it could mean Hell.
There are more, but those are the ones that stood out to me.
Jesus speaks about repaying a debt:
That is evidence that there is a place you go, after you are judged where a payment is collected. That's the purification that happens in the state of purgatory.
Please see III. THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY | Catechism of the Catholic Church 1030-32.
The answer to the question is in 1031 & 1032. Please see the footnotes for the biblical references. Picking one, certain offenses can be forgiven in this age, but certain others in the age to come (please see CCC 1031 below).
OP: To be more specific, how I think of Purgatory (which may be incorrect) is that it's a temporary place of suffering before one goes on to Heaven.
This is answered from CCC 1472. In part:
The analogy that comes to mind is a sick person who willingly undergoes a painful treatment or operation. They suffer in gladness knowing in the end they will be restored to a better quality of life.
I've also heard Luke 16:19-31 (the story of the rich man and Lazarus) used to explain Purgatory. Specifically Verse 23 "In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side."
Abraham had to be somewhere as he wasn't in Hades and couldn't be in Heaven yet.

Healthy Hopes
It was an evening to support Saddleback Memorial Medical Center's new cancer institute and honor those affected by the life-threatening disease when its foundation hosted a sold-out bash at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Some 500 giving guests enjoyed a live auction stocked with items like a Surgeon for a Day experience, a glittering diamond pendant necklace and even pies baked by CEO Steve Geidt. And all in attendance were enraptured when Chaplain Anette Rihovsky spoke about her family's experiences with cancer and the importance of natural healing environments, like the institute's new outdoor retreat, which was landscaped by Roger's Gardens. The gala raised $230,000—no wonder it was themed A Celebration of Hope. –Photos by Paul Gero

I'm writing a story and need information on the Russian communist rule because I'm writing a book about a government much like that of communist Russia, specifically focused on a police state government like USSR. My question is in order to understand USSR police state and the steps to get their, like Naomi Wolf's book "The E,nd of America", where should I start to understand communism time wise? Someone said 1850 right before the Russian revolution. Is early Russian and Slavic heritage history needed to understand communist rule under Stalin and Lenin?
closed as not constructive by Mark C. Wallace, Steven Drennon♦ Mar 28 '13 at 22:41
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
For me at least, this question may be re-phrased thus: To what extent were the contours of the Communist regime in Russia determined by Russian national peculiarities?
Scholars like Richard Pipes hold that the Soviet regime was a development of some sort of immanent Russian matrix. Here is a wiki summary:
There are also more nuanced versions of this argument. However, it is far from universally accepted and I personally am not quite convinced by it for this reason: other Communist regimes like in China or Cambodia have acted similarly, without the "immanent Russian matrix" so there must be more (or less!) to it. In fact, just by reading 1984 you can learn most of what you need about how any police state works (of course, 1984 is what in science one would call an "ideal case" - a model that real states only approximate to some degree, and thank God for that!).
No, it is not needed. I think you better should read the history of Marxism and about the Great French Revolution. If you want to deepen in history, you can start from the Commune of Rome (1144).
There is a strain of historical thought that some of the features of Russian/Soviet state are strongly influenced by Mongol conquest and rule by the Horde.
So if you agree with that line of thought, you need to go back to 13th century.
I would say that Russian Communism can be explained by the autocracy of the later Czars, Peter the Great, or even Ivan the Terrible. That is, with regard to the idea of centralized authority and the "command and control" methods of these rulers.
The Okrana, or Russian secret police goes back to the Tsarist rulers of the 19th century. Ivan the Terrible created the streltsy, or "Guards" arm, that doubled as police.

Spinning® instructor – sales person?
I have been involved in Fitnes industry quite a long time. From aerobics instructor, receptionist , child care program instructor, personal trainer, Spinning® instructor, group ex manager and finally an owner of company.
Last few years I work as ER and I am selling / promoting Spinning®. And one part of my job is also providing help regards Spinning® program at least at the beginning. For me only a good working club is a good reference, but sometimes it is hard as a lot depends of the team. That means from instructors. And sometimes instructors forget that behind every Spinning® class, club or facility there is business involved and numbers are important. So I do believe that every instructor needs to possess basic sales skills, because if you are not able to sell yourself probably your classes will be empty and you will lose your job. But when I say sells and business they become defended. Selling is nothing bad and if you believe in what you do than you do it automatically.
So what are the basic selling skills?
Who is a sells person ? Someone who wants to help others solve problems? And since I am speaking about skills means everybody can learn them.
Good listening skills will help you be better: s good instructor is able to help member to recognize his true needs. In order to find the needs you need to learn to listen. Studies have shown that good listeners are rare; most of them retain 50 % of what they hear. Now imagine what that means when you get in front of members. In order to become good listener you should learn active listening skills.
a) Pay close attention (look speaker in eyes, stop mental chatter, do not prepare your respond when other is speaking, notice body language, make sure environment is nondistrcting)
b) Demonstrate physically that you are listening (use appropriate body language, nod from time to time, use facial expression, use small comments like "yes" aha" uhhmm)
c) Cheek for understanding (use reflecting and paraphrasing)
d) Do not interrupt!
e) Respond appropriately (be honest and open, be respectful)
Interpersonal skills (that so often get forget)
a) Curtsey
b) Respect for others
c) Ability to see things from another prospective
d) Ability to understand various communications
So besides being knowledgeable instructor you have to learn have to sell knowledge to members and solve their problems.

(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. Right now Green Zebra tomatoes are abundant at my house, and I love these little stacks of fresh tomato goodness. Of course you can use any type of tomatoes if you don't have Green Zebras.)
Now that I've finally made Green Goddess Salad Dressing, I've been thinking about creative ways to use this dressing other than just drizzling it on a green salad (although salads with this dressing are spectacular!) Right now the garden is giving me lots of Green Zebra tomatoes, and I created these Green Goddess Tomato-Mozzarella Stacks by imagining how the slightly-citrusy flavor of the Green Zebras would work with the complex flavors in the Green Goddess dressing. And wow!
I loved this take on Caprese Salad with Green Zebra tomatoes, slices of fresh mozzarella, and Green Goddess dressing drizzled over. Of course, there are endless variations on this theme, so feel free to use any tomatoes you'd like and experiment with other kinds of cheese to enjoy with your Green Goddess dressing.
Slice fresh tomatoes to make 8 tomato slices, all about the same diameter.
Make stacks with a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella, and another slice of tomato.
Then drizzle about 1 T of the Green Goddess Dressing over each tomato stack, and enjoy!

(Makes two first course servings, but easily adapted for more; this simple recipe idea created by Kalyn when she was swooning over Green Goddess Dressing and had Green Zebra Tomatoes from the garden.)
8 slices fresh tomato (make all slices about the same diameter, I used Green Zebra tomatoes)
4 slices fresh mozzarella
3-4 T Green Goddess Salad Dressing

A composition operator $C\_T : C(X) \to C(Y)$ with $T \in C(Y, X)$ is defined by $C\_T f := f \circ T, f \in C(X)$.
I read in the book about Composition Operators by Singh and others that a nontrivial algebra homomorphism $A : C(X) \to C(Y)$ is a composition operator (meaning there is a $T$ with $A = C\_T$) if $A(\overline{f}) = \overline{A(f)}$ holds for all $f \in C(X)$. This is true for $X$, $Y$ compact Hausdoff spaces. The proof is not difficult if one uses the isometric isomorphism $j(X) = M(C(X))$ ($j$ mapping $X$ into the space of dirac functionals, $M$ being the spectrum of the algebra $C(X)$).
Is this still true if $X, Y$ are hemicompact k-spaces?
If not can you give a counterexample?
Def.: A topological space $X$ is hemicompact if there is a sequence $(K_n)$ of compact sets in $X$ with $\bigcup_n K_n = X$ and $K_n \subset K_{n+1}$ for all natural $n$ and if for any compact $K$ in $X$ there is an $n$ with $K \subset K_n$.
Def.: A topological space $X$ is a k-space if every subset intersecting each compact subset in a closed set is itself closed.
EDIT: As was rightfully pointed out I forgot to mention that $A$ has to be an algebra homomorphism. I have corrected this now and added the definitions of hemicompact and k-space.

5 Insane Foreign Versions of Traditional Marriage
Whoa, wait. You want gays to marry? What next? Why not marry your own sister? Or your sister-in-law, or your mom? How about you go marry a baby? Or maybe we'll end up getting rid of weddings altogether! Having no marriage at all! Or hell, why not go marry ghosts!
No, gay marriage won't cause any of those things to happen. Specifically, because they've already been happening, because the "traditional" idea of marriage is kind of hazy if you take a look around the world:
#5. Pacific Islanders Skip the Wedding, Go Straight to the Wedding Presents
Buccina Studios/Photodisc/Getty Images
All this arguing over who can marry whom might make you wonder why we need to have weddings at all. If you love someone, why don't you just go live with them and be done with it? Be a couple, no one's stopping you. What's so special about the wedding itself?
Igor Igorevich/Photos.com
One day to let all the crazy out?
Two words: wedding gifts. Host a wedding, and you get to write up a gift registry. And soon, you and your fiance will be positively buried in platters and linens.
Which brings us to a set of islands near Australia -- the Trobriand islands off the coast of New Guinea. Most cultures have crazy elaborate, meticulously-planned wedding rituals, but the Trobriand clans have no real marriage ceremony at all. Couples meet and hook up -- there's never been any taboo against sex before marriage; islanders play erotic games while still children and start having sex as soon as they hit puberty. Couples move in with each other without any formal marriage and then, one day, the couple sits down on the guy's porch for all to see. And that's how the village knows that the relationship is serious.
Eric Lafforgue
Despite having three kids, Dave and Amy only got really serious when they sat on their front deck.
The woman's mother comes by and brings a gift -- of plump and tasty cooked yams. They eat these together. The following day, the guy's family arrives with gifts of clothes: skirts, long skirts for his girlfriend. Because if they're going to be a real couple now, it's time to get rid of the wild, wanton wardrobe she wore as a teen.
Then more people from the woman's family arrive, relatives of each of her parents. These folk bring uncooked yams, raw material for many meals to come. Then the man's family comes by with a Bed, Bath & Beyond's worth of cookware, knives, and curios. And then these relatives receive gifts from the bride's relatives -- more yams, uniting all the families in one glorious yam union.
Remote Lands
Yams: like gold and jewels, except their value isn't totally made-up.
If the woman gets tired of the relationship, she just moves out, and, boom, she's single again. Her ex can try and win her back with more gifts (deluxe yams?), and if she accepts them, they're again married. But if she doesn't, they aren't.
These relaxed attitudes may come from how the Trobriand, following their traditional lore, didn't think men fathered children. Children were thought conceived when spirits entered the mother's head. The man's semen merely nourished the fetus. This Spunk of Sustenance theory may also be why Trobriand boys were encouraged to ingest lots of semen during adolescence ... but that's a subject for another article. Or, not.
#4. Tibetans Sometimes Marry Their Own Stepmothers
George Doyle/Valueline/Getty Images
OK, we were joking about marriage being all about the presents -- obviously one of the big reasons cultures make a fuss over marriage has to do with inheritance rights. For instance, in most cultures, the new couple keeps the name of the male, the wife joining the man's family and not vice versa. So if a man becomes wealthy, the expectation was always that all of his land and money stays in the family via his sons -- they inherit everything and eventually have their own sons, the name and wealth of the family living on through this unbroken chain of penises.
But if somewhere down the line a son gets married and then dies, the moment the wife re-marries, the wealth leaves the family. That's why in some cultures a pair of brothers can marry a single woman at once. That way, should something happen to one of the males, they have a spare.
Gulf Times
They're like reverse Mormons. Nomroms.
This is polyandry, which is common in some Tibetan and Nepalese communities. Its usual form is just what we said -- two brothers share a wife to keep the house under one family and keep the extended family under one roof. Sometimes, three brothers share a wife. Occasionally, four. Tibetans also have a variation we like to call intergenerational polyandry. A man may marry, have a son, and then lose his wife. He then remarries, and the son marries the new stepmother.
Both of them might sleep with the woman, and if she bears children, no one's exactly sure who the father is. Legally, the son is the father, potentially of his own brother. And the mother's first husband, the father to both sons, would be the grandfather to his younger son.
We haven't plotted the full tree, but someone's probably his own grandpa.
Some women in multiple-husband marriages still have children out of wedlock, and women are perfectly free to stay single or leave their husbands if they wish. There was even one case of a woman leaving all three of her husbands -- for her lover.
#3. Nigeria Allowed People to Marry the Dead
Jen Grantham/Photos.com
As with several items on this list, you'll either be pleased or disappointed that the most horrifying/disgusting explanation doesn't happen to be true -- these were not cases of necrophilia here. The practice of marrying the dead in Onitsha, Nigeria, was all about getting around some rules. In this case, they had women who wanted/needed legal recognition as a spouse but had no living man willing to help. So, it's not like the dead guy is going to mind ...
Peeter Viisimaa/Photos.com
Plus, wedding rites may keep him from rising out of the grave.
One famous case is Nnayelugo Nnebue Okonkwo, who died in Nigeria's Ogbotu village all the way back in 1931. Thirty years later, his sisters married the dead man to a willing woman. This woman gave birth to six children in the following years, and sources don't mention these kids' biological father because no one cared who he was -- in the eyes of the law, these children were the offspring of Nnayelugo Okonkwo.
This suited the wife and her children just fine, and it suited Okonkwo's sisters fine, too. The only people who weren't too keen on the arrangement were Okonkwo's actual biological children, who suddenly found themselves with brothers and sisters decades younger than them calling themselves heirs to their father's estate.
Thinkstock Images/Photos.com
"They say they own the toy room. They don't know what that really means!"
The original Okonkwo children sued, but the courts had little sympathy. "Marrying the dead" had been an established practice under native law, and people couldn't suddenly try to end it just because it inconvenienced them.
The practice wasn't struck down until that very case reached the nation's supreme court, and the ancient practice was ruled to be kind of weird.
In 1994.

Dietitians and Nutritionists
Registered dietitians (RDs) are professionals who have met certain educational requirements and passed a national certification exam. For the purposes of this article, the terms dietitian and registered dietitian will be used interchangeably. RDs provide people with foods and dietary advice that will improve or maintain their health. They may be self-employed or work for institutions, such as hospitals, schools, restaurants, and nursing homes—any place where food is served or nutritional counseling is required. Hospital dietitians, for example, may ensure that the food served in the cafeteria is nourishing or create special diets for patients with particular nutritional problems and needs.
Regulation of those using the professional title nutritionist varies by state. For example, in some states a person without any specialized training may be able to call himself or herself a nutritionist and offer dietary advice. For the purposes of this article, however, the term nutritionist refers to certified clinical nutritionists (CCNs) who have received specialized training and passed a certification exam. CCNs usually work in private practice and are concerned with the biochemical aspects of nutrition.
There are approximately 59,530 dietitians and nutritionists working in the United States.

Is it permissible to sacrifice one's own life to save another? There are many noble examples that come to mind, such as donating your heart to save a child or throwing yourself on a grenade. Is this considered shvichat damim, and thus in the category of sheiv v'al ta'aseh?

It is forbidden to commit suicide, even for a noble purpose. When it comes to saving another Jew's life at the expense of one's own life, the halachah tells us that there is no way for humans to calculate whose blood is more precious in G-d's eyes. Therefore, one must always follow the passive path if one person will certainly die. If it is possible that both people will be saved, the question is more complex: the poskim discuss if it is permissible to put oneself in danger to save another person from certain death. A lot depends on the relevant practical conditions, and one must consult a knowledgeable posek.
In wartime it's a different matter.
In peacetime, one who puts themselves in "severe danger" to save a life is termed a "chasid shoteh", a "super-righteous lunatic."

Guessing you are thinking/hoping along the same lines I am....we may very well still have a very good shot at Chris Peterson after a well orchestrated, quiet courtship?
#savvyHide replies
If that were true, then Alvarez would have had Petersen on his short list. And I just don't think that's the case. Alvarez knows and has worked with a lot of smart, talented football people. I can't help but think those are the people on his list.
Can Peterson change colors? From a pass oriented offense to a run first offense. Or will BA change colors? Should be interesting. Stay tuned.
Sure hurts to have to now add this disclaimer: "On the surface" Peterson seems like a class act.
On Wisconsin
if it were peterson ithink he would see the whole picture, after all monty almost ran for 2000 yds last year, and wilson had a great year in 2011. i think passing coach would relish the idea of a great running game, it just makes his passing game so much better.
I just reread my comment from above. I have no idea what my point was. Except that maybe to be on BA's short list, he'd have to think a guy had a reasonable shot to come to MSN. I can't see people thinking Petersen fits that description.
It honestly wouldn't shock me. I think its very possible he is interested but wants to coach the bowl game with no BS. He also seems like the kind of guy that would only consider it if its incognito.
We won't know for sure until there is an intro press conference for the new HC. I highly doubt even if he tells his AD he is interested at UW the AD will tell the media.
I have taken the position on this that there is nobody I can think of that I would rather have conducting this coaching search than Barry Alvarez. He is not so far removed from his time as a coach to be removed from coaching circles, and he has a stature nationwide that everyone recognizes. Furthermore, aside from family I don't think there is anything more dear to him the Wisconsin football. He's no fool, he's well connected, and he cares deeply. For those reasons, I have not worried for a single moment.
"Despite some of the public statements we've heard in the last week, I'm not willing to rule anyone out."
Does that include Paul Chryst?Hide replies
It's certainly possible, but Alvarez was so definitive in his statement that PC wasn't leaving Pitt. That would be a huge backpedal, and I don't see Alvarez going back on his word.
I really don't either. I was just wondering about Jeff's take on the possibility of Chryst still being in the running.If he's hoping to announce the decision in the next 2 weeks, and is waiting for the right time to announce the hire(according to another story) that would seem to rule out Chryst and any other coach who is in a bowl game.
My guess has always been that Paul Chryst is not going to be the next Badger coach. The fact that Boise State plays Dec.22nd would leave Petersen in the running. Personally, I don't think he's leaving Boise State, but there are rumors.
That would rule out anyone in a major bowl game, Jan 1st or later.
My first time being anonymous. I agree with your comment above, Farrell141. Despite speculation running wild, we'll find out when we find out and that's fine with me.
In my opinion, Barry Alvarez is a very good administrator. Probably a better administrator than he was a football coach - and he was a very good football coach.
And nobody in charge of any significant company or program - one generating over $100 million in revenue - waits for 'something to happen' before formulating a plan. The plan is already in place. The 'short list' is in place. Alvarez probably has a short list of replacements for every head coach (and perhaps even significant assistant coach) in the UW athletic program. In case something happens.
It wouldn't surprise me if the next head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers hasn't already been identified. Perhaps Barry is just waiting for that coach's team's bowl game to end before starting serious negotiations.
There's a protocol here.Hide replies
P Man, I agree with most parts of what you are saying. Any good AD is always mindful they may need to be hiring a new head coach, and has candidates in mind.
The only part that I disagree with is that there really isn't a protocol here. College head coaching jobs usually get filled fast, and there aren't a lot of protocols. Or those that follow them, don't get their guy.
Barry may be one of only a few ADs who still believe in a protocol. And they may think that if a current head coach can't wait a couple of weeks before switching jobs, than that person wasn't the right person in the first place.
I've "lost" out on things in life because I kept to certain principles, but in my mind....I wasn't the one who really lost in the long run.
Agree completely P Man. Alvarez will still have a "short list" in his head or in his desk drawer after he hires the next HC.
Well I'm still of these opinions based on experience levels:
Young and Inexperienced, but with UW ties:
-Rudolph, Bevell
Some experience, but good fit:
-Golden, Chryst
Very experienced, but may be a reach:
-Peterson, TresselHide replies
d. none of the above
Tressel should be under a category unto himself: "Very experienced, but comes with baggage and the NCAA watching closely." Keep in mind that he also used the "I wasn't aware of the violations" while he was at Youngstown as well.
I think whatever program hires Tressel is immediately put on probation. So I really think the Tressel talk should stop. Now. He's likely not the sort of person Alvarez is looking for, either. The jerseys for tattoo scheme was really just the tip of the iceberg of what was going on at OSU, but it was the only thing the NCAA could prove.
I am guessing that the next UW football coach is not on MVP's list above and in fact will come across as a bit of a surprise to most Badger fans.
The Tressel talk is ludicrous. UW admin would fire Barry on the spot if his name came up. Petersen a good choice but NCAA sanctions likely make him a non-starter as well. Outside the box? Bostad
Bring back Bob, ya he could be one of those plan B guys.
I don't know...Bostad jumped to the NFL for a reason. Besides, he's never even been an OC. I'd think that would be a requirement for the UW job.
You don't automatically get put on probation for hiring Tressel, but it's really close to automatic. From Wiki:
In the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a show-cause penalty is an order saying that for a set period of time, any NCAA penalties imposed on a coach involved in major rules violations at a university's athletic program will remain in force if he is hired by any other NCAA member institution. Both the school and coach are required to send letters to the NCAA agreeing to abide by any restrictions imposed, and report back to the NCAA every 6 months until the end of employment or the show-cause, whichever comes first. If the school wishes to avoid the NCAA restrictions imposed on that individual, it must appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and "show cause" as to why it should not be penalized for hiring him.[1]
Contrary to popular belief, an NCAA member school is allowed to hire a coach with a show-cause order outstanding. In practice, however, the show-cause restrictions make it prohibitively difficult for a coach with a show-cause order to get another collegiate job. As mentioned above, any school that hires a coach with a show-cause order in effect can be penalized merely for doing so. Additionally, that school can face severe penalties if a coach commits another violation during the length of the penalty.[2] Consequently, most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with a show-cause penalty in effect. For this reason, a show-cause penalty usually has the effect of blackballing a coach from the collegiate ranks for the duration of the penalty. Many coaches who are given such a penalty never coach again, even after the expiration of the penalty. The penalty is intended to follow a coach for violations that he had a role in committing.
I think Joe Rudolph is going to be the guy. While I would be excited by a Chris Peterson hire, I would think he'd want to bring in some of his own coaches with who he is comfortable with. I think Rudolph would be fine with mantaining the staff that is already in place. With the respect he has said he has for Alvarez, his ties to the program and the fact that he is an excellent recruiter, makes him an underrated yet logical choice imo. I think people looking for a big name candidate are going to be surprisedHide replies
The big question with Rudolph: does he have enough experience? He's still pretty green. He's one year removed from being a TE coach. And remember back a year that the questions were whether the promotion to OC was too big a jump for him.
Nabbing Rudolph would explain the wait and secrecy. BA might be affording Chryst some courtesy as they prepare for their bowl game, which would be a huge win for Chryst's new regime as they head into the ACC.
This is my thinking. The other guy is Matt Campbell from Toledo. I think Barry is going to do a classy thing by waiting for the new guy's bowl game to be completed so that they can finish the job they started. This is why I hate the bowl set up as it exists. The gap between meaningful games is a joke and minimizes the legitimacy of the bowls, including the National Championship.
I'd love it to be Rudolph as this could be his destination job and add stability to the program for the foreseeable future. I think the experience angle is overblown. If they do retain the majority of assistants, there will be a relatively seamless transition. Remember, he was the head recruiter for BB until he left with Chryst. Besides he can't be that much worse of a game coach than BB was.
boise st's bowl game is dec 22. waiting for that?Hide replies
Wishful thinking, don't hold your breath! Although he hasn't really said no,
It doesn't sound like he is going anywhere, except maybe Oregon.
I think nobody knows anything. Not the fans, not the media, nobody. And I don't think anybody will until its announced. I get this feeling Barry wants to keep this process as discreet as possible. Its very likely the only people that know who the actual candidates are are the candidates themselves, Barry, & maybe the candidates's ADs/Bosses and their spouses.
Basically, I think anybody is a possibility. Neither side is gonna make it obvious either. Coaches change their mind all the time too.
Its time to just kick back & wait & see. No point in even soeculating because at this point a kindergartner has about the same credibility on this situation as any media pundit. People are just guessing, trying to guess on potential candidates based on previous relationships & ties to UW and or Alvarez.
Obviously most of rumored names by the frenzied fans are NOT on the "short list".
But although your hunch about a UW connection might happen, I think it's plan B, along with other coordinators without HC experience......which was on of Barrys mandates.
How he would convince a new coach not to bring in his guys is a dilema. Unless the coaches school would promote and keep his staff in place.
So the riddle continues with only a "hunch" as an uncertain clue!
A further reading of JP's thoughts, and he has been as close to the program and people as any outsider the past few years, leads me back to Chryst. Would Barry be targeting him if he aggressively applied for the job? Would anyone else likely keep as much of this staff on board?Hide replies
That would take a huge backpedal by Alvarez and be at odds with the whole integrity thing that people expect from him, even if Chryst was aggressive in his pursuit. Besides, I'd think people would see it differently...that Alvarez was playing the game all along.
In short, I'd be stunned.
I'm with you kid on that one.
Rudolph would be as familiar with the current staff as anyone, and has the UW background though not the growing up in Madison angle that Chryst has. Barry has spoken publicly about Chryst staying at Pitt, so I'm inclined to believe that if it was one of the guys who left lately, and has all that UW history, it's probably Rudolph. I think the current staff would be happy to see him return. And I know about as much about this as all the other posters. Nada.

FORT HOOD (December 20, 2012)—Four days after arriving in Central Texas, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley assumed command of III Corps and Fort Hood Thursday during a ceremony on post.
The former commanding general of the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum in New York received a warm response when he referred to Fort Hood as "The Greatest Place," instead of "The Great Place."
"In 96 hours more people from this installation and the surrounding communities, many of whom I don't even know their names, have wrapped their arms around Holly and I and have showed us the love and warmth of Central Texas, and I have to tell you that speaks volumes," Milley said.
Milley is a 1980 graduate of Princeton University who was commissioned through the ROTC.
His initial assignment was with the 82nd Airborne Division and later the 5th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg.
Before assuming command of Fort Drum, he served as the Joint Staff's deputy director for regional operations at the Pentagon.
His deployments include tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Haiti.
Milley said a challenge and priority he will face at Fort Hood is preparing soldiers for future deployments.
"We've already done an exercise in Germany and now we've got a couple of months left before we deploy and then we want to make sure that we get ourselves up to the absolute highest operational readiness capability prior to deployment," Milley said.
Milley said one of his first priorities is to learn more about Fort Hood and Central Texas.
Community leaders in Central Texas such as Copperas Cove Mayor John Hull said they're also looking forward to the partnership Milley will be able to strengthen between Fort Hood and the military communities that surround it.

Bb Learn - Overview
Welcome to our Bb Learn Overview
When technology is included as a part of the thinking process in designing and delivering instruction, it can actually lead to an effective, engaged, and efficient teaching and learning experience.
In this series of tutorials, you will be introduced to Blackboard Learn, NAU's learning management system, and to some thoughts on how these tools can help enhance your practice. As you work through this series of activities you will get a chance to tour a Bb Learn course, create some common learning activities, as well as try out some student interactions including the grading of student learning activities. Technology can be used effectively in in-person, hybrid, or online courses.
Just so we are all on the same page you can think of the LMS as your "Classroom" for you online learning activities. These activities might include accessing reserved readings from Cline or the course syllabus, taking a test, submitting a paper, "talking to" one student or the entire class, a private area for a group to work together, and much more. You can use as few or as many as you choose to meet the needs and demands of class.
A unit of learning, however it is organized or delivered, ideally should include the following:
- Pre-instructional activities (for example, testing of prerequisites or a statement of learning objectives)
- Content Presentation (informational, sometimes called the lecture)
- Guided Practice or Participation
- Assessment (students demonstrating that they meet your objectives)
- Summary and/or review
This overview will be organized into four main sections:
Each section will have a number of activities helping you implement common teaching activities in Bb Learn.

10 Simple Ways to Connect to Your Teen
9 of 11
Create a Ritual
Maybe it's getting a pedicure. Maybe it's indulging in your shared sweet tooth at your favorite cupcake shop. Maybe it's playing a pickup game of basketball. Whatever it is, try to have a monthly ritual that you and your teen always do together. Making it the same time every month (for example, on the 15th, or the third Thursday) will make your teen feel special and give her something to look forward to. She might not admit it, but your teen likes to have your one-on-one attention, so make it a point to schedule regular "dates."
