I've noticed that for the last couple of days any time I open or refresh the Google Reader app (the official one from Google) it marks the last 200+ items that are in my feed as Unread (which it then syncs out to my account! So viewing them online shows the same unread count), and seemingly refuses to sync out which articles I have read (though it does seem to sync starred articles correctly.) I've made sure that syncing is turned on, but this doesn't seem to affect it one way or another. Any idea's for how to fix this behavior? Anyone else seeing it too?
Beyond that, I'd be open to suggestions for an alternate reader app. My wishlist is for one that allows me to easily star an article from the list, only shows me unread articles unless otherwise requested (sorry, Pulse) and preferably has a widget that notifies me when there are unread items.

Get 25% Off Your New Favorite Under Armour® Hoody – Hurry, Offer Ends 11/26 @ 11:59 PM EST for $37.50 + free shipping
I see London, I see France. I see Randy's Under Ar … huh. I guess that doesn't really work.
8 Comments add a comment
I won't buy Under Armour goods any longer. I'm not part of the organized movement not to buy their stuff but my own philosophy differs sharply from that of the company and its founder and still current guiding force.
@smartheart - Please elaborate as to what you find offensive with the founder.
Sounds like actually quite a decent guy to me.
The only thing I can find online is there are UA ads at Wrigley Field and people are upset about that for some reason.
Shame it's only pullovers, I like zip ups.
if you don't want to support University of Maryland's basketball and football programs, it makes sense to avoid under amour products.
The man created UA in his basement. His grandmother helped him with seed money. So what if he gives bunches to his alma mater? He lives the American Dream.
@smartheart: Did you get fired from this wonderful company?
Sounds like a great place to work with bonuses and other options for the workers..Their philanthropy is great, "Under Armour supports the V Foundation for cancer research and has its own Power in Pink campaign, raising funds for breast cancer research and education. In addition, Under Armour supports the Boomer Esiason Foundation, the Rock Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and Conservation Fund. The Company also has a "Give Back" program, encouraging employees to become involved with local charities.[8]".
I will continue to buy from them.
@bryan047: you must not be fan of college football. i never buy Nike products because of Phil Knight's support of Oregon football.

5 Insane Supervillain Schemes by Real Governments
No matter how many deranged, megalomaniacal psychopaths there are in our governing bodies, political shenanigans are usually less about flamethrower robots and more about balding men in suits lying about fiscal policy. But occasionally the government will put forth a plot so insane that even the most hardened Bond villain would ask them if everything is all right at home and tell them to tone it down a little.
#5. The CIA's Legion of Spy Ravens
purplevine/iStock/Getty Images
Ominous entities from Odin to Saruman know it: No matter how powerful you are or how sizable your operation is, you ain't got no game until you have your own posse of ravens to spy on your adversaries. So it's no surprise that during the late 1960s the CIA stumbled across some old Viking legends and thought, "Hey, that's what we've been missing all these years -- theatrics!"
Robert Byron/Hemera/Getty Images
This was the same reason they pumped millions into improved banana phone technology.
The agency turned to Bob Bailey, a pioneering animal behaviorist who had already overseen a number of hilarious projects, such as the Acoustic Kitty (a cat with a listening device) and the World War II-era pigeon missile (an actual missile full of actual pigeons that guided it by pecking a map). At this point, it's probably good to remember that there was quite a lot of LSD floating around Langley at the time.
Bailey planned to train his birds to carry listening devices that they would deposit on window ledges and rooftops. He also designed a tiny camera that the raven would activate by pushing it against a window. Because the world is apparently a cartoon, Bailey's plan was a roaring success, and the CIA happily shelled out the cash to build spy-raven training facilities. The next steps: motorcycle-riding mice and martial arts-practicing turtles.
Oskanov/iStock/Getty Images
"If we can't train them, we can feed them to the ravens."
Sadly, the spy-raven program was terminated in the 1970s. However, Bailey strongly insinuates that the ravens were successfully used in the field a number of times. He even jokingly hints that there might be CIA-trained "rogue" raven agents out there today. And that goddamn well better be the plot of the next Bourne movie.
#4. Japan's Army of Plague-Fleas
It was the summer of 1945, and things weren't going well for the Japanese. Their only remaining chance of victory was to deliver a truly devastating knockout blow to the Allies. Such an important last-resort move could not be trusted to just anyone, so naturally the Japanese military turned to a bona fide mad scientist.
While we're sure he wouldn't have described himself as "mad" (so few evil scientists show that level of self-awareness), the evidence disagrees: Shiro Ishii served as the head of Unit 731, a covert biological warfare research team, and there really is no positive way to spin that kind of thing, is there? There was no "covert biological warfare research team" whose primary goal was to produce the fluffiest bunnies the world had ever seen so all the troops would stop fighting and start snuggling.
Masao Takezawa
"We tried that with the Lennie Project. It failed."
No, mysterious biowarfare units generally pull crazy supervillain-level stunts like breeding millions of fleas infected with the plague to release them on their unsuspecting enemies. Which is exactly what Ishii planned on doing, incidentally.
One of Japan's fancy new aircraft-carrying submarines was supposed to surface off the coast of San Diego one night and launch three planes. The aircraft would release special ceramic bombs that shattered as they fell, unleashing hordes of Ishii's plague-minions over the city and devastating the area. Out of other, saner options, Japanese higher-ups gave their blessings and dubbed it Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night. Hey, in wartime, you have to create beauty whenever you can -- if only to balance out the horror (of plague-infected flea bombs, for example).
cynoclub/iStock/Getty Images
Operation Itchy Dog Ass didn't inspire as much pride.
This was not some far-fetched scheme that didn't make it past the drawing board: They actually built the bombs and set up the aircraft, but at the last second they called off the attack. Japan was worried that the U.S. had their own superweapons in the works, and they didn't want to start a war of escalation. They shelved their own sinister megaweapons in the hopes that the U.S. would do the same. It didn't exactly shake out that way.
It's not often that the guys funding the army of plague fleas come out looking like the sane ones, is it?
#3. The U.S. Tries to Win Vietnam With Weather Manipulation
Zoonar/P.Malyshev/Zoonar/Getty Images
Most people, thanks largely to their crazy uncle's rambling Facebook posts, are familiar with chemtrails, the chemical-laced aircraft contrails that the secret government uses to cause cancer, obesity, and Muslims. Cloud seeding is the same deal, but the other way around: Although the technique does involve introducing chemicals into the sky, it's meant to manipulate the weather, instead of autism or impotence or whatever the chemtrail folks are on about these days. Also unlike chemtrails, cloud seeding is real: The American military and CIA first started using the technique in Vietnam in 1963, for the hilariously petty purpose of trying to summon rain on Buddhist protest marches.
rmnunes/iStock editorial/Getty Images
Try immolating yourselves now, monks!
But they didn't stop with literally raining on some parades: The sheer scale of the cloud-seeding operation against the Ho Chi Minh Trail was above and beyond any weather control attempt the U.S. had ever made before. Codenamed Operation Popeye, the plan was to fly modified cargo planes along the trail, releasing silver and lead iodine flares into the sky over Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam. This was supposed to heavily increase rainfall and lengthen the monsoon period, which would have messed up communications and supply runs for the Viet Cong.
moonbase/amanaimagesRF/amana images/Getty Images
And ruined their already limited cookout days.
Between the operation's start in 1967 and its termination in 1972, cargo planes flew a monumental 2,606 missions, dropping over 47,000 cloud-seeding charges all over the trail, until the whole area was eventually reclaimed by the angry sea.
Or ... nothing. Nothing actually happened. At least not in the intended region, at the intended time.
That's something they never tell you about playing God: Even if you get past the moral quandaries, it's just really, really hard to pull off.

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] RFC: CRS Module for MTCP Checkpointing Package
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-10-10 09:44:46
I think he's asking how MTCP does this without involvement by the MPI implementation.

However, we feel that value is added by also working as an Open MPI module, where Open MPI handles all of the network communication, and our module simply handles checkpointing the individual processes. This enables people to use our user-level checkpointing tools with other networks by using Open MPI.

>>>>> The MTCP component is currently restricted to supporting communication over sockets and shared memory. In an effort to support a wider range of networks (e.g., InfiniBand, Myrinet), they have created a CRS component to hook into Open MPI's checkpoint/restart infrastructure. The MTCP user-level checkpoint/restart service is the single process checkpoint kernel of the DMTCP project. The MTCP kernel is what is used in the mtcp CRS component.
>>>>> Jeff Squyres and Josh Hursey have been working with the DMTCP authors (based out of the US Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA) for quite a while and feel that this component is ready to be brought into the Open MPI main line for inclusion in the 1.7.x series (and possibly the 1.5.x series?). The authors have submitted OMPI 3rd party contribution agreements.

A State Legislator's Guide to Telecom Policy
The telecommunications industry has undergone a revolution. Even the most recent federal law affecting the industry, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, failed to anticipate the widespread adoption of wireless telephone and new technologies like Instant Messaging and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), let alone their substitution for traditional phone service. Never has there been a clearer example of the inability of law to keep pace with technology.
Now it is time for governments to substitute market-based competition for government-managed competition. Regulation stifles the investment necessary to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Market-based competition is the hallmark of a consumer-focused marketplace where providers compete for customers on the basis of innovation, quality, price and customer service.
Without doubt, the communications technologies that best deliver the products and services embraced by consumers are those operating in unregulated or lightly regulated environments. Deregulation would spur even more innovation, competition, and consumer satisfaction.

Publish CMD Window Close
Hi All
A minor inconvenience, yet a right pain in the backside...whenever the Publish button is pressed (on a Windows install), a command window is opened; after the action has been completed, the window stays open and requires a manual click to close it. Not a drama with one or two Publish actions, but a real wrist killer (type either exit or move the mouse and click) when one is in a RAD cycle.
My question - any way to simply amend an 'exit' to that script and close the window?
2 Mar 2013 7:29 PM #2
Yeah the goal is to have a console that shows up docked to the bottom. I understand your frustration with the current process.Phil Strong

Take a look at 2.2 behaviour : http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...nnot-be-closed.
@Doug : Just let SA open CMD windows. Then CloseAll (Right-click on task bar button in Windows)
@Phil : the docked console would have been really nice
13 Mar 2013 7:47 AM #5
Yeah I know yoann.colleaux but time did not permit.
I'm looking into the closing issue this is clearly a bug that will be fixed. Does Esc work for you or that's not working either?Phil Strong

14 Mar 2013 9:00 AM #7
A nosy question - why do you use Publish. For my RAD I have the SA project catalogue inside of my web-root so I just save and then refresh in the browser - saves you some mousing
14 Mar 2013 1:25 PM #8
I made a program to run it in background.
md5sum: 262effd75ea433bb4d68cf0d78de0ca3
Inside the RAR you have the cmd.exe and it's source code.
You can compile it in free pascal if you like, or use the one i already compiled.
Extract cmd.exe to where you instaled Sencha Architect.
For example i installed mine at: W:\SENCHA\SenchaArchitect\
When i click "Publish" button it execute my program and my program executes the cmd from windows system directory passing the received params.

Back in the days, marketers trusted Facebook and Twitter for their campaigns. But since the introduction of these two, the landscape has changed. Other social networks have been introduced giving marketers more options to exploit. One of those networks is Instagram.
To fully exploit the power of this social network, you need lots of followers. Those with money can buy Instagram followers. Fortunately, that is not the only option. There are other means you can use and have some free Instagram followers.
Here are some of those ways.
- Have a Well Defined Call To Action
If you do not tell people what they should do, you can bet they will do nothing. This is an important lesson in copywriting. Before you even upload the picture, you need to have a clear idea of what your audience should do in the end.
If you want them to follow you, make it clear. Do the same if you want them to comment or like. But make sure you do it in a creative way, simply saying "comment here" will not get you as many comments as you want.
- Engage With Others
Just like with Facebook and Twitter, you need to comment, like and follow other people. Engaging with others will let them know of your presence. Others will follow you for just seeing that you are following them.
Comments and following works wonders on Instagram.
- Stimulate Their Thoughts
Asking intriguing questions in your photos is one way to get some chatter going. People like to show off how smart they are. You can post your picture with a question and let them answer by commenting. If you keep providing them with great stuff, they might follow you.
- Share Images They Can Relate To
No one will follow, let alone comment or like you photos if they find no meaning in them. That is why it is important to keep upload photos that anyone can relate to. Another tip is to keep you images as raw as possible. That does not mean you should not edit your images, No! But do not edit them to the point that they look too perfect.
You need to keep them looking like it was taken by an average Joe.
- Timing Matters
If you upload your photos when many are offline, you can bet your work will go unnoticed. It will not get the many likes, comments or followers it deserves. So you need to know your audience and when they are most active on Instagram. This will increase your chances of reaching your audience.
- #Hashtags
Instagram uses hashtags like Twitter. You need to be creative with your hashtags. They should be fun and easy to read. If out of ideas, you can search online on how you can come up with effective hashtags.
- Connect Your Instagram Account With Facebook
If you have a huge fan base on Facebook, connecting your Instagram account to it will only do good. You Instagram uploads will be featured on your Facebook page. So it means your audience on Facebook might decide to also follow you on Instagram.
While this can take time to produce results, at least now you know you can get free Instagram followers. All you have to do is try the methods in this article. It is not justifiable sometimes to spend money when you can achieve something for free. But if you want followers and you want them now, buying Instagram followers is your best bet.

After being unable to pay Shylock back for the terms of the loan he agreed to, Antonio and his friends use disguises, deceit and an insane legal loophole to steal all of Shylock's money, give it to his son-in-law and force Shylock, a devout Jew, to convert to Christianity.
Via Wikipedia
And exit, chased by small children.
Wait, WTF?
Antonio and his buddies hate Shylock for the mere fact that he's Jewish, but also because he charges usury, or a fee on money he lends out. You might recognize this as an interest rate, or, what every bank in the world has charged on loans for hundreds of years.
Banks are evil. Who knew?
As if spitting on Shylock in the street and undercutting his business practices (Antonio lends money interest-free at a loss just to screw with him) aren't bad enough, Antonio is stupid enough to agree to Shylock's terms when he needs a loan: pay the sum back in full, or Shylock gets a pound of Antonio's flesh. Let's just be glad that Shylock's descendants didn't start credit card companies.
Via shakespeareinamericanlife
We like how he's unspecific about which pound. Here, it's obviously his nipple.
When the day comes for Antonio to pay up, Antonio has a friend's girlfriend pose as a lawyer and take control of the proceedings. On a technicality, she declares Shylock is in contempt of the court and therefore all of his assets are forfeit. To add insult to injury, Shylock is forced to convert to Christianity on the spot, even though Shylock begs for death before losing his religion.
Via danieldendy
"Didn't you see the description of the play? It's a comedy, asshole. Convert."
Incidentally, this plot point was inserted as a happy ending for Elizabethan audiences, who would see the degradation and destruction of the faithful Shylock and his subsequent conversion to Christianity as evidence of Shylock's soul being saved.
#2. Mortal Enemies Decide to Just be Gay Instead
The Setup:
The titular character in the play Coriolanus is one of Rome's most popular generals, and the bravest, most bloodthirsty warrior in the military. After being driven from Rome in a political coup, Coriolanus decides to take advantage of the "Outside the Box Military Solutions" conference he went to at the Roman Marriott and show up to his mortal enemy's house half-naked to try to form an alliance.
"I got myself all oiled up too, just in case you, er ...still want to fight."
Aufidius, who spends the first three Acts of the play trying to kill Coriolanus, throws his arms around his enemy's body and launches into the most homo-erotic speech in Shakespeare, describing among other things the various wet-dreams he has had about Coriolanus.
Wait, WTF?
The play states that Coriolanus is driven out of Rome in "mean attire," basically meaning the rags of a beggar. Underwear wasn't a huge priority in ancient Rome, so he free-balls it to Aufidius' house and throws himself at the mercy of his sworn enemy. This is Aufidius' response:
Aufidius: Know thou first
I loved the maid I married; never man
Sigh'd truer breath; but that I see thee here,
Thou noble thing! More dances my rapt heart
Than when I first my wedded mistress saw
Bestride my threshold.
-- Coriolanus, Act IV Scene v, Lines 116-121
Or, translated into bro-speak: Dude, I'm totally into my wife and all, but looking at your sick abs and rockin' body, I'm seriously hornier than I was when I had sex with my wife for the first time.
Via internetshakespeare
"Take my hand, and maybe we'll get out of a Shakespeare play without being horribly mutilated."
He continues:
Aufidius: Thou has beat me out
Twelve several times, and I have nightly since
Dreamt of encounters 'twixt myself and me;
We have been down together in my sleep
Unbuckling helms, fisting each other's throat
And waked half dead with nothing.
-- Coriolanus, Act IV scene v, Lines 124-129
Translated: You've beaten me out ... in combat 12 times, and every night afterward I had raging boner wet dreams about you and me getting our sweat-wrestle on, fisting each other's ... throats, and afterward I woke up "half-dead" (post orgasm) "with nothing" (boner depleted, covered in my own love-juice).
Now imagine Ralph Fiennes and Gerald Butler doing this scene come November this year.
They vow to attack Rome together, and literally leave the stage hand in hand. This is basically like if Batman and the Joker decided about two hours into The Dark Knight to call their whole blood feud off and open a day spa together.
Shortly after this scene, they go get some champers, go to the steam room and have a giggle about women.
#1. Titus Tricks Tamora Into Cannibalism
The Setup:
For our final act of horror, we go back to Titus Andronicus. After the events earlier which leave Titus' daughter Lavinia disfigured -- the woman responsible, Tamora, convinces Titus to cut off his own hand to save his sons. Then she kills them anyway.
Via Wikipedia
"Hands up all those who want them to live!"
Titus, driven mad, invites the few remaining living characters to a dinner party, where he goes completely bananas and no fewer than six people are killed.
Wait, WTF?
Titus captures Tamora's sons and kills them. These are the two who did unspeakable horror on his daughter, so that's cool ... wait, he then hangs them upside down, drains their blood and bakes them into a pie. What is this, Sweeney Todd?
Via siue.edu
He could at least give him a proper haircut first.
He then invites Saturninus (the Emperor of Rome), Tamora and Lavinia to a dinner party where he serves the pie to the guests. As they munch away on the other other white meat, he asks Saturninus what one should do with a daughter who has been defiled. Replying in the characteristically sensitive manner of the time, he replies one should kill the daughter. Titus obliges, stabbing Lavinia to death, which, considering her condition, was probably OK with her. He then tells Tamora the extra-secret ingredient in the dinner ...
Titus: Why, there they are, both baked in this pie,
Whereof their mother daintily hath fed,
Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.
-- Titus Andronicus, Act V Scene iii, Lines 59-61
... and before she can spew her son's tasty flesh all over the wallpaper, he stabs her in the face before being brought down by Saturninus, who in turn is also stabbed to death.
Via seattle.broadwayworld
"Last one alive gets to finish off the pies!"
This is an orgy of violence that would make Eli Roth stain his Inglorious Basterds underwear! you think to yourself. If only there was a film version as catastrophically violent as the play! Well move Glitter out of the No. 1 spot on your Netflix queue, because there is one, and it stars Anthony "Hannibal Lecter" Hopkins.
He went full Smurf for this role.
The most recent film version was directed by Julie Taymor (who is responsible for Broadway smash hits like The Lion King and Broadway flop-tastic disasters like Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), and it is notable for its graphic interpretations of the violence of the play, and for being completely, utterly insane -- the characters use horses and swords next to modern day cars and assault rifles, and the movie starts and ends with a young boy playing with real life toy soldiers. This all somehow makes Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark make a lot more sense:
Both are quite similar, in that they depict a slow, horrible death on stage.

Damn: Ashley Judd decides she won't run for Senate
posted at 6:01 pm on March 27, 2013 by Allahpundit
I didn't think defeating her was as much of a gimme as some righties did, but I did think she'd lose. And that there'd be at least one or two or twelve colorful meltdowns on the trail along the way. 2014 just got a lot less kooky, and political blogging is the poorer for it. Alas.
Admit it: Deep down, you wanted to see how she'd walk back that "mountaintop coal removal is like rape" analogy.
After serious and thorough contemplation, I realize that my responsibilities & energy at this time need to be focused on my family.

A source close to Judd told WaPo, "The timing just wasn't right." Is that it? Let's follow the timeline. Six weeks ago, a friend told a local news outlet that she was leaning towards running. Less than three weeks ago, another "insider" confirmed for Fox News that "in Ashley's mind, it's happening," which is probably a more meaningful choice of phrase than he intended. Then, three days later and likely alarmed at her apparent seriousness, Democrats started to hit the brakes: A Kentucky blog reported that the DSCC was looking at the secretary of state, Alison Lundergan Grimes, as an alternative. National Journal followed the next day with a brutal piece quoting local donors and politicos as saying she'd destroy the party's chances statewide if she ran. Eight days after that, Politico claimed that "Democratic heavy hitters," including Bill Clinton, were busy pressuring Grimes to jump in and spare them from a Judd-driven trainwreck. The writing was on the wall, I think, when Donald Trump piped up in the middle of it all to declare that Judd would be a "great candidate." Gulp.
The lingering question: Did she take the hint or did someone from the politburo actually have to warn her that the party would embarrass her by backing Grimes in a primary if she didn't bow out? I'm guessing it's the former, but don't hold me to it. After all, this is someone who, after being attacked by Rove's group for running in Kentucky despite the fact that she lives in Tennessee, spent the last month … not doing much campaigning in Kentucky. Oh well.

The Third Child (Paperback)
Under her mother's constant scrutiny and lost in the shadow of her famous senator father, Melissa is the third child in the politically prominent Dickenson family, where ambition comes first and Melissa often comes last. In college, she meets Blake, a man of mixed race and apparently unknown parentage. His adoptive parents are lawyers whose defense of death-row cases in the past brought them head-to-head with Melissa's father when he was the governor of Pennsylvania.
While Melissa and Blake's attraction is immediate and fiery, a dangerous secret lurks beneath their relationship -- one that could destroy them ... and their families.
Provocative and beautifully written, and dealing with themes of love, honesty, identity, and the consequences of ambition, The Third Child is a remarkable page-turner.

Advice from a tree
As we get older and mature we log more experiences, improving upon good behaviors and shedding the ones that do not serve us. The analogy I think of to back this up is…we are like trees. A tree sprouts up through its branches and down through its roots into the ground. Our personal (and professional) growth depends on our ability to soften, loosen up and shed the
boundaries and defenses that no longer serve us.
Trees will not only grow taller and up towards the sky they expand with each year that passes. In doing so, they also shed the last layer of bark that served to protect them but now is no longer big enough
to contain them. Similarly, we establish boundaries and create defenses to protect ourselves and then, at a certain time, we outgrow them. We become courageous and experienced. If we don't allow ourselves to shed our
protective layers, we stifle our potential to expand fully.
Trees need their protective layer, bark, to enable the delicate process of maturing. Just like trees, we too need our boundaries and defenses so that the more vulnerable parts of our being can heal and safely
unfold. Our growth depends upon our willingness and ability to loosen up, shed the boundaries and defenses that no longer serve us.
Unlike a tree though, we have the ability to consciously decide when the time is right to shed our bark and branch out so that we can step into the next ring of our life with more knowledge and confidence. On a
spiritual level, one can perceive how our egos may not disappear; instead they grow larger in order to hold more than just our sense of self. The boundary of self widens to contain people and beings other than just "me".
Every time we shed a layer of defense or dismantle a boundary we no longer need, we become a bigger person. Keeping this in mind, it is important that we take time to question the boundaries and defenses that we possess. Are they serving us? While it is essential to
set and honor the protective boundaries we set, it is equally important that we soften and shed them when they are no longer necessary for our growth. By doing, so we can create space for the next
phase of development.
As teachers, instructors, coaches, parents and friends education is a fundamental to development and growth; our own as well as those we teach. In order to unleash the potential of our being we need to be confident, flexible and free.
So don't stifle your development or stunt your growth by staying in your comfort zone…branch out and learn more. Sign up for the many resources Spinning® has to offer and share with us here in the Spinning® Community other workshops, readings and courses that have helped you grow.

Out of stock now, but you can currently backorder it.
if i was to buy it, even tho it's out of stock, will i only be charged the $3.99 when it gets restocked?
Yes. With Amazon if you purchase it now, you'll pay the price shown now.
And FWIW I've also had them merely place a temporary hold (for the amount of the purchase) on my credit card for the payment amount, but not actually charge me until they can ship the item.
Hope this helps.

Chane Behanan could be winding down his career at the University of Louisville. Cards head coach Rick Pitino has said numerous times this year that he thinks the sophomore forward should test the NBA waters after this season. Behanan entered the week averaging 11 points and 7.4 rebounds for the No. 10 Cards. He scored a career-high 30 points in the 5-overtime loss at Notre Dame, and pulled down 15 rebounds in that same game. He also entered the week with 45 dunks this season, the fifth most in school history. Behanan is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound Cincinnati native who played his last two seasons of high school basketball at Bowling Green High School in Bowling Green, Ky.
KENT TAYLOR: Coach Pitino has said that he has given each player a few things to work on as we head into March – what are you working on?
CHANE BEHANAN: Mostly just dribbling, pulling up, midrange jumpers. A lot of free throws too.
TAYLOR: Are you at a point where you are confident shooting free throws?
BEHANAN: In practice it's good, but I just have to take the same mentality and convert over to the game.
TAYLOR: What did you think when you saw the video of your behind-the-back pass to Russ (Smith) in the South Florida game?
BEHANAN: I just, I don't know, I just grabbed it and threw it. In my mind, the whole time I was running, I said that I was gonna do it, I'm not gonna lie to you. I said I was. Even if my foot was out of bounds, I still was going to try to make the pass. Good thing I stayed in and hit Russ on the money.
TAYLOR: Coach Pitino has said more than once this year, he's talked about you and the NBA next season. Has he talked to you about that?
BEHANAN: He's mentioned it, but he'll try to beat around the bush with it. As far as him just saying it full blown, he really doesn't try to do that. He's really just working on trying to maintain the route we're going now and just trying to bring back the trophy to Louisville.
TAYLOR: You continue to climb the all-time lists for dunks – you have 45 this season. Is that something you consciously look for in a game?
BEHANAN: Lately I have. I'm trying to limit the power dribble and go straight up. I'm quick off my feet I think. Just go straight up, if you get blocked, you get blocked, come down and do it again. I've just been telling Peyton (Siva) to throw the ball up at the rim and I'll get it. I've got confidence in me jumping with another defender.
TAYLOR: Over the summer Coach Pitino talked about how Kevin Ware had played so great, but it seems like during the season he has struggled to find his role. Has he settled in to that now?
BEHANAN: With Kevin I always hear Coach say – because Kevin is probably the longest guard we have, with the arms, and the most athletic guard we have, with the jumping ability – he can bother people with his hands, just standing 3 or 4 feet from them. That's one thing that Kevin has to take into the tournament. He's going to be a big factor for us I think, going into the tournament.
TAYLOR: How about Wayne (Blackshear) and the way he's playing now – is it a different level than you've seen from him at UofL?
BEHANAN: He's, like today in practice, he's rebounding, snatching rebounds from bigger defenders, running down the court knocking down shots. Once we get his confidence up and it stays there, it's going to be hard to contain us going through the tournament.
TAYLOR: Can you sense a different feeling as March approaches?
BEHANAN: Everybody is hungry. Practices have been spirited, everybody is having fun, working hard, challenging each other, just talking a lot of stuff, and that's how practices should be.
TAYLOR: How many times have you watched that "Harlem Shake" video that the team filmed?
BEHANAN: I've probably watched it, well, three today, because I did Coach's TV show. Russ started it off, everybody voted for Russ because Russ is the team clown.
TAYLOR: You said that you don't want Coach Pitino to name a horse after you, because if it doesn't win, he'd be mad at you. Do you notice that he treats Russ, Gorgui (Dieng) and Peyton differently?
BEHANAN: Oh yeah, he does. Now, I know, I see why. He rarely says stuff to me now, it's always focused on Russ, Peyton and Gorgui. Now I know, (it's) because of horses losing him money.

How to form a bijection from $(0,1]$ to $\mathbb{R}$:
$$f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} 2-\frac{1}{x}&\text{if }x\in(0, .5]\\ \frac{2x-1}{1-x}&\text{if }x\in(.5, 1]. \end{array}\right.$$
So, to go from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}^4$ shouldn't be so hard... First we convert all of $\mathbb{R}$ in to a decimal representation. The numbers then have the form: $$a_1a_2a_3a_4\ldots$$ Where the $a_i$s are the digits $0$, $1$, $2,\ldots,9$.
At some point there is a decimal point, suppose it precedes the $a_j$th digit (could be the first)
Eliminate all duplicate representations: $3.41=3.4099999\ldots$ and $0002 = 2$, by choosing the one with the fewest digits.
Now map the remaining representations to $$( a_1a_5a_9\ldots, a_2a_6a_{10}\ldots, a_3a_7a_{11}\ldots, a_4a_8a_{12}\ldots)$$
Put a decimal point in each one preceding the $a_j$, $a_{j+1}$, $a_{j+2}$ and $a_{j+3}$ digits.
This is not bijective, though! I know such a mapping exists, but I don't want in existence proof I want a scalable mapping I can use.
Is there some modification I can make to make it bijective?

Master of Arts in
Children's Ministry
Shelly Melia, Ph.D., Director
Ministry to preschoolers, children, and their families in today's changing world is a unique challenge for the church and its leaders. The opportunity to create Bible study and ministry strategies that lay the foundation for children to grow, and to know, trust, love, and follow Jesus is more than what might be considered "child's play." It is eternally significant not only for the church of tomorrow, but for the church of today.
The Master of Arts in Children's Ministry is designed to equip children's ministers to understand the needs of children, explore the principles of the best strategies in teaching and reaching children, and implement ministry that impacts not only the child but the family. The program provides foundations in theological, educational, and practical programming for effective childhood ministry. It combines academic training and practical ministry application that focus intentionally on the world children live in and the faith they need to follow Christ for the rest of their lives.
This program consists of 18 hours of required core curriculum, and 18 hours of Children's Ministry curriculum, for a total of 36 hours.
Listen to Dr. Melia speak about developing a philosophy in Children's Ministry.
Student Testimonial
"I was drawn to the Children's Ministry program because it is well known and highly recommended across the state. The program's length allows me to finish in a manageable time. The application process is another perk to the program, as it is very smooth and well laid out. My program director was willing to meet with me to talk over any concerns and questions. He was very helpful throughout the application process, as well as when it came time to register for classes. DBU has supplied me with numerous scholarship and grant opportunities to make paying for my master's manageable. I am excited to see what God has planned for me through my master's program at DBU." -Gina Williford

In the wake of another deadly day in America with the bombings in Boston, parents are being reminded how such events can emotionally traumatize young children.
The images and stories splashed everywhere can have a negative impact on a child's well-being, said psychologist Korenna Barto, urging parents to reinforce their roles as a "safe haven" and secure base.
"It really just means that you have a person or persons that you know you can always turn to that make you feel safe and valued," she said, "and help provide an emotional and psychological compass or barometer."
A safe haven and secure base are especially important for children through age 5, she said, adding that the key in providing a secure base for children is consistency.
"When children don't get that consistency," she said, "sometimes they don't feel even like their parent - who is there every day, they wake up to, they go to bed to - doesn't give them as secure of a base, as secure of a feeling, as someone who is consistently available."
One way to provide the consistency, Barto said, is with regular scheduling of everything from bedtime to family events. She said that can be as easy as eating dinner together.
"Special moments, where you can even just tune out everything else for just 10 minutes, and focus purely on one child at a time," she said. "It does wonders for feeding that secure base. I think family dinners are a great example of that."
A variety of resources for talking with children about tragedy can be found online at attachmentparenting.org.

Bethany Falls in Overtime
BETHANY – No coach, player or team ever wants to be saddled with being referred to as a "hard luck loser", unfortunately that is exactly where Bethany finds itself with just one game remaining.
Entering Saturday's contest with four-time defending Presidents' Athletic Conference champion Thomas More, three of the Bison's six losses had come by a total of eight points. That was a statistic that did not improve Saturday.
Bethany's defense did all it could do to hold down the Saints, however, the missed opportunities by the offense proved to be the difference as the Bison's season of misery continued with a heartbreaking, 13-10, overtime loss at Bison Stadium.
The game figured to be a high-scoring affair, at least from the visitor's point of view, with the Bethany defense surrendering an average of 35 points an outing and the Saints scoring 30 tallies a game. However, a bend-but-don't break first half allowed just one touchdown while the Bison gave up just 85 yards in the second half, 25 of those coming in overtime.
It looked as though the hosts might score quickly in the extra session when junior record-setting quarterback Matt Grimard busted off a 16-yard run to the nine on the very first play. But a seven-yard sack on the very next put Bethany in a hole and eventually led to Justin Evans' 22-yard field goal and a 10-7 lead.
Head Coach James Hilvert then switched things up on Thomas More's possession, inserting sophomore back-up quarterback Luke Magness into the game for the first time all day. More of a runner than freshman starter Jensen Gebhardt, Magness turned into the hero in a short span of time.
Magness' first two plays turned into runs of seven and five yards to put the ball inside the 15. Junior Adam Rauch, who finished the game with 154 rushing stripes, then sandwiched runs of four and five yards around a Magness two-yard gain to put the ball at the Bethany 1.
A pair of quick Rauch dives into the line did not put the ball over the goal line; so on third down the Saints went back to Magness, who appeared to fumble the ball into the end zone before breaking the plain. Unfortunately for the hosts, after a short discussion by the officials it was ruled a touchdown, setting off a wild celebration by Thomas More.
"If you ask the guy who came up on the losing end what he thought, well, I thought it was a fumble," a dejected Tim Weaver said. "Of course if you ask them I am sure they didn't think it was and that is what the ruling ended up being.
"I am very proud of the effort these guys gave (Saturday), but it is very frustrating to lose like this again. This is the fourth time this season that we have lost a game like this."
Grimard completed 27 of 43 passes, but with the short passing game clicking finished with just 161 yards, just six yards a completion. Ed Holmes and Johnathan Foster combined for 17 grabs, but again, just 93 yards.

Many people suggest and do follow the strategy of commenting on related niche blogs with links to their own sites. Is this legitimate and a good way for SEO? Or it has some harmful side as well?
It's not just the back links, it's the reputation. You should become a member of relevant website communities. You should be helpful and friendly. You should recommend your website when it is appropriate.
Get a backlink through blog commenting is not bad. But you should be putting a backlink on the related blogs only.
For eg if you have a travel site and you are commenting on a tech blog and getting a backlink from there, then it is a serious issue. As per the recent Penguin and Panda update, if any site is giving link to any other site which is no where related to each other in terms of content. Then both the sites will be penalized. Google consider it as paid link.
If you are posting good content (such as good thoughts, ideas and constructive criticism) there's nothing to be afraid of.
Maybe you need to look at this argument from another point of view. Don't expect to see your analytics to grow after every comment. Simply comment because you like it. Tell the other everything you know and that could be useful. Be generous.
One other thing to consider is to NOT use any sort of autobot to do this. Google will know a real person was not involved in these sorts of postings or comments. The timing between comments would need to be realistic for a human not a computer.

A star falls In 2001, highly paid consultants dubbed Connecticut's answer to Dodge City, Hartford, "New England's Rising Star." The city renowned for its narcissism embraced the slogan because it was so validating. The reality is downtown is the definition of a Potemkin Village, and despite the infusion of billions in state tax dollars, Hartford's star never got above the horizon. To this day, its leaders and the Capitol's most influential denizens refuse to accept the best that can be said about Hartford is it's within driving distance of places where people would rather be. Now, the city has a new slogan: "Hartford Has It." Sadly, there's not enough penicillin in the world to get rid of what Hartford really has.

Sometimes I just crave corn. I love the fresh, pop that it has when you bite down. As the summer temperatures rise I aim for dishes that are refreshing and light. This recipe fits that bill to a "T".
If you make this dish, please, please use only organic corn. If you can't get any fresh, organic corn in your supermarket or farmers market, it is just fine to use frozen organic corn. Just allow the corn to thaw prior to making the dish.
Whenever I have corn I am flooded with a memory that takes me back to when I was around 7 or 8 years old. My Uncle Billy, whom I worshiped and adored growing up, used to meet up with a buddy of his in a corn field.
My uncle would put me on his shoulders and we would weave our way through the crazy maze of corn. They would both whistle to act as beacons to find each other. Back then I always "thought" I was the scout while perched on his shoulders, straining my eyes to see through the corn stalks. In reality the corn stalks were still just as tall as we were and I couldn't see a darn thing…but none the less, I still felt important. :)
Thank you Blender Health for this recipe!
Hi Amie Sue,
My contributions to the family holiday table this year were two of your salads – your Zesty Lime Corn Salad and the Tahini Vegetable Medley. Everyone enjoyed them, regardless of dietary restrictions.
The Zesty Lime Corn Salad was a huge hit with my 90 year old father-in-law. He said he hadn't enjoyed corn that tasty in a very long time. I made sure he got extra to take home and enjoy the following day.
Thanks again for your fabulous recipes!
Sooo yummy, yummy. Thanks for the simple & quick recipe.
I just made this! So yummy and refreshing..a new favorite!
I just made this and it is so good! I wasn't even sure what to do with raw corn. I love your website! Keep up the good work.

Can anyone tell me how to connect my studio monitor speakers with an XLR or 1/4 inch TRS input to my 1/8 inch stereo output on my computer sound card? I don't see any adapters or cords that convert TRS to regular unbalanced stereo. Is this is possible without a mixer?
migrated from video.stackexchange.com Feb 13 '14 at 5:13
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
You can get adapters for this, but the sound will be much better if you get a sound card that has the TRS outputs, or if you use an external breakout box (USB or Firewire, USB on most PCs.)
The problem with an adapter is that you lose the features balanced outputs gives you - most importantly is the low noise floor and immunity to interference balanced cables give you.
As Neil says, get a decent sound card with balanced outputs.

I'm considering getting one of those "Therminator" style wort chillers as an upgrade to the coil. I plan on gravity feeding the wort through and pumping back into the kettle until my wort is nice and lukewarm. The specs seem impressive, but it also looks like this thing would be hell to clean, and a bit annoying to sanitize, and I can't help but think bits and pieces of hops would easily clog this thing. Am I being paranoid?
How difficult are the plate-based wort chiilers to clean? Do they require filtration before the wort goes through them?
Unless you're careful with filtering, plate chillers can and do clog up with debris. Any debris that's trapped during transfer needs to be backflushed out by connecting the wort inlet to the water supply. The high pressure usually pushes out most of the debris, but it's still necessary to bake the chiller in the oven every few batches, and maybe run caustic soda through it once a year to clean out any resident crud.
Here's a pic of an unused shirron plate chiller cut open
The amount of gunk trapped is usually it's not enough to significantly stop the flow, but I've had flow trickle to next to nothing on more than a few batches. For example, I recently tried whirpooling through the plate chiller, and flow ground to a tiny trickle after a few minutes. I was using hop-bags, but still hop pellets and trub can make it into the chiller.
A hopback makes a great filter and pretty much stops any trub from reaching the chiller. You can build your own from a canning jar, or buy them ready made for about $125.
I'm scaling up to 10 gallon batches and looking to buy a new chiller. I will pass on plate chillers this time round.
Also from the same thread:
Brad Smith had John Blichmann on the BeerSmith podcast recently and they discussed cleaning and sanitizing these things. Seems like a non-issue to me after hearing John describe it. You just back-flush with hot water, then PBW, then Star-San and call it a day. Do it immediately after using it to prevent crud from building up. Those I know who have therminators have had no issues with keeping them clean nor have they experienced any infections.
I've seen pros store sanitizer in the plate chiller, just pump it in and cap it. Then when you push wort through, you simply wait for it to push the sanitizer out, as far as gross debris, PBW and some Really hot water does the trick for everything else.

Car hire
Driving is chaotic in Hong Kong, and self-drive car hire is rare. Most people wishing to rent exclusive use vehicles rather than using taxis opt for chauffeur driven cars - these are available from Intercontinental Hire Cars (tel: 2261 2155; www.trans-island.com.hk), and Parklane Limousine Service (tel: 2261 0303; www.hongkonglimo.com www.hongkonglimo.com). Both companies have desks in the Arrivals hall.

Good night ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my first venture into FM12 as I'm literally yet to do a single match - just bought it last Friday and hadn't touched not even the demo before. The interface doesn't look as daunting as you all made it to be, as I've figured out how to browse players and teams by now.
After being used to the heights of fame and fortune through the last few seasons of my FM11 adventure, it's time to go back to earth and start from the bottom again, almost certainly I'll despair at how rubbish my new players are compared to the likes of Bagayoko and Duval. However I do not have a clear concept of where I want to go with this career, it's meant to be some sort of journeyman but if I fancy a club I'm free to stick there for 10 seasons if it happens. I don't have any preset tactical ideas I want to implement neither, this time. I'm approaching this with an open mind. Format-wise I'm going to try monthly updates for a while, taking some hints from other careers around, and start from there.
I am starting unemployed, automatic experience, an insane amount of leagues loaded (think I got carried around there). Already found myself a club and I will expand on it soon.
