Sooo..when Republicans can't win on their ideas, they try to change the rules until they can get rid of enough "bad" voters to win. How are they not ashamed to discuss this publicly? Isn't it a crime to try to systematically disenfranchise your opponents' so called base? Perhaps young people might be willing to vote Republican if they weren't actively pursuing policies that hurt young people!!!Hide replies
No one that wants to vote legally is disenfranchised by following simple basic rules to register in advance of the vote. To say anything otherwise is completely intellectually dishonest. In other words, you're full of shat.
It's 2 years till the next important election. Are you Kim suggesting that young people are too stupid to get registered in 2 years?
I guess Scott Walker just doesn't "get it" why the republicans lost the election.Hide replies
The extreme right has never been fond of college book learnin' and those that partake in it.
Starting with His Dropoutness. Really bites when facts get in the way of your fantastical worldview.
So bing, how many of those welfare leeches voting democrat partake in book learnin'????
On the contrary, there is a wave sweeping this country to limit voting to only 'certain' people.
I do not represent welfare leeches and I have no idea why you thought it was relevent to bring them up.
Why did you?
Walker, what does same-day voter registration have to do with your job -- your promise to create 250,000 jobs in Wisconsin? Stop running away, all the way across the country, to say what you're going to do in Wisconsin. Stop running for national office.
Stay in Wisconsin and work on your promise to create 250,000 jobs -- or what happened to Ryan will happen to you. He couldn't even win his hometown, not even his own ward, the neighbors who know him. Walker, stop suppressing the vote and start creating the jobs.Hide replies
Um, Ryan won his re-election
Shh.. when a lefty says something is so, it must be so. Zerban is off to congress, and Ryan is off to obscurity, not even allowed to ring bells for the Salvation Army.
Yes he did win the election statewide but the point the original poster is making is that in his hometown of Janesville where you'd think he would definitely win, he lost. They didn't vote for him there. Kinda like how Romney lost both his home state and the state he governed in.
NOTE: My screen name has nothing to do with my political beliefs.
I have read a lot on both sides of this argument. The election workers that I have seen quoted (including this article) are not for this change. They are the ones that deal with this on election day - and do not see a need for this at all.
I know that many states do not have same-day registration. Does that mean we have to sink to their level? The argument that only 7 states allow same day registration - so we should't either isn't a reason to change simply by itself.
Getting more people involved in the political process IS A GOOD THING. I know that traditionally the higher the voter the turnout, the better that is for Dems, but in many ways - it is better for all of us. I know that the Motor-Voter option would still be in play, but if Same Day Registration is easier for people to use...just go to your local voting place and register, then how are we a better democracy by making it harder to vote.
Again, I am just trying to look at this evenly. I know some say that voter fraud happens during elections, I haven't seen any substantial documented case. This is a "fix" in search of a problem.Hide replies
Where have you looked?
The problem has been found - democrats busing in Chicago people to vote in WI.
Proof, please, Northwoods. A simple link from a credible source will be fine.
Here is another way of looking at this - and almost any issue in present day Wisconsin Politics...
Is it possible for any Democratic voter to not go agree with a Democratic politicians idea/thought/opinion, and is it possible for any Republican voter to not agree with a Republican politicians idea/thought/opinion? If not, are we actually thinking as an electorate or are we just going along with what our respective party leaders are feeding us?
NorthwoodsDweller, why would democrats go to all the expense of busing in Chicago people to vote in Wisconsin? Wouldn't it be cheaper to use Milwaukee people?
Not only is your claim unsubstantiated, it doesn't make any sense. If somebody wanted to game the system with bogus voters, they wouldn't pay to transport them 100 miles!
Yeah like it's sooooo difficult to get your lazy butt(it's not like you have a job or are doing anything productive) down and register 15 days or a month earlier when there are no lines and there is time to verify that you are actually a legal voter... Everyone knows why the liberals don't want this passed and it has nothing to do with voter suppression... Wisconsin is one of only 8 states that allow same day registration.Hide replies
If you had to register 15 days before an election you couldn't bus people in from Illinois on election day as easily.....
You may not have anything better to do but many busy working people of both parties do.
Roughly half the people disagree and the other half agree, usually with a 1% differential. If you want to vote, it is easy to do. Registering is easy too. Getting people to register on the day of is an unneeded complication to the process. What other serious thing in life can you register for and then do it a minute later? To be silly, even sky divers make you watch a video.Hide replies
If registration is so easy then it should be no problem to staff the polling places accordingly to accomidate same day registrations. Making someone show up to register is an unneeded complication to the process.
See what I did there?
Yes bingcherry, you acted like a whiny Democrat.
How are the poll workers supposed to verify the legality of the person "same day" registering? If it turns up to be a scam, it's too late.....
OMG LGRepub ... you must be scared to walk out of your house with a mind that sees evil and wrong doing everywhere.
so what else can you register for, apply for, or the like, and then do within minutes (that carries weight)? drivers license? rent an apartment? You need a photo id to buy an airplane ticket, right? How does it disenfranchise someone to make them prepare to do it? But like I said, its worthless for me to argue on a site for someone to agree with me who already disagrees, and vice versa. But its fun to vent for each side and waste time during the day we could be doing something productive.
We require a student to live in the state for six months somewhere other thanthe a dorm to get instate tuition but we let them vote after 28 days. If they are state residents then they should vote absentee back homeHide replies
That question has already been decided by Federal courts and by the US Supreme Court. The case is referred to as Symm V United States. You can google it and read all about it. The Supreme Court says you are wrong. Students get to choose whether to vote 'at school' or 'at home'.
Robert - I don't think the point had anything to do with the legality of the voting structure, but rather the hypocrisy of requiring 6 months to establish residency for tuition, but only 4 weeks to establish residency for voting. You certainly have less of a right to in-state tuition than you have the right to vote, but it clearly is not an intuitive system.
I see no point - rhetorically or otherwise - in linking the two. As the topic here is voting and access to it, "Symm V US" is the relevant case.
robertearle, you sound like a smarmy get out the vote guy.
I am very much a 'get out the vote' guy. I'll leave 'smarmy' to the judgement of others.
2MU - Very similar to Madison finding it OK to require an ID to use a bus pass but to require one to vote is "suppression". They think bus pass fraud is a problem, but those same people would NEVER cheat the voting system.... LOL!
"2MU - Very similar to Madison finding it OK to require an ID to use a bus pass "
The Madison bus pass ID checking applies ONLY to people who have been issued an unlimited pass by their school or employer with that school or employer being charged by Madison Metro per use of the pass. That means the ID being asked for is one that was issued by the school or employer to the bus pass holder. And that means that by definition 100% of the people being asked for ID are known to have the ID being asked for.
Which then begs the question, robert, you need an ID to get a bus pass but NOT to register to vote?
"...you need an ID to get a bus pass ...?
No, you don't need an ID to get the bus pass. You get the ID and the bus pass at the same time from the same organization.
The difference between the two situations is that with the bus passes it is known that 100% of the people who are going to be asked for ID have already been given that ID. That is NOT the case with 'Voter ID'.
"...you need an ID to get a bus pass but NOT to register to vote?"
Here you are mixing 'registration' with 'Voter ID'. At the point when a person registers to vote, they must demonstrate 'residence'. And in doing that, they are required to provide either a WI Drivers License or ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security Number. That is, you more-or-less DO have to 'show ID' to register, and that was the case before 'voter ID' and is the case now. The requirement that 'Voter ID' sought to impose is a demonstration of 'identity', distinct for their previous demonstration of 'residence'.
When the 'small government' Republicans have ensured that 100% of the voters have been provided the IDs they will be asked for - not just offered that ID, but ensured that 100% HAVE the ID - then I'll drop my objections to 'Voter ID'.
LOL is right. perhaps the H word also applies --hippocrissy
Not quite, madhatter, when numerous posts have shown the complete difference between getting an unlimited bus pass from your school or employer and having to show an ID to use it and the American right to vote.
But keep trying.
The Republican Party continues to slouch towards irrelevancy and extinction and continued voter disenfranchisement is top priority coming outta the gates? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the classic definition of...of, oh forget it. Time for conservatives to get the excuse machine revved up for the top 100 reasons Scooter will never sniff the 250,000 jobs he promised. Bold prediction: all of them will involve mean ol' Democrats and that Socialist Kenyan President of ours.Hide replies
Slouch towards irrelevancy ? You are as dumb as a fence post.... remember 2010 , Obama won by 3 mil votes 51-49% / This economy will be the albatross around dems neck for the next election and beyond / Obamacare will hace nasty effects on the economy . already has
But if we did away with voter ID and same-day voting, how would the Democrats cheat?Hide replies
Where there's a will, there's a way.
No proof is there?
52 democrtats arrested or convicted so far- http://www.newsnet14.com/?p=92957
I will also submit the walker recall petition where what, over 40% were fraudulent/ineligible?
nothing walker does is for the overall good of the people of wis. he continues to spend all his time either appearing before extreme right wingers nationally or trying to steal more votes either through redistricting or voter registration laws. he is trying to take wisc back to what mississippi was.Hide replies
It must make you really mad that more people voted for Scott Walker the second time.
Just amazed that many people were stupid enough to vote for Walker!
It's nice to know how you feel about your fellow Wisconsinites. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable "coexisting" with Illinoisans or Californians.
mondoman thinks he knows better that everyone, that's what he thinks the majority are stupid
Mondo.....was thinking the same thing about the voters for Obama!
If you re sick and tired of WIS balanced budget, try moving to Greece. Land of perpetual state worker tantrums and 75% income tax. You'll just love it there, we'll love you there too!

Follow the suggestions below to select the appropriate product for your needs:
-To restore your teak furniture to its original color, use our Teak Cleaner. This water-based environmentally safe solution penetrates deep into the wood removing mildew, mold and dirt.
-If you prefer to maintain the original honey hues of teak, use the Teak Protector at the beginning and at the end of the season to enjoy the clean new look of teak, year round.

THE PARTY The opening of Tommy Hilfiger at Fashion Valley, benefiting Autism Society San Diego THE SCENE The new San Diego store also celebrated Surf Shack, a limited-edition, surf-inspired capsule collection that launched worldwide. (We love the surfboard-shaped clutch for a dash of whimsy.) The line is a modern interpretation of the laid-back surf culture so evocative of S.D., taking the brand in a pure East Coast meets West Coast direction. On this night, partygoers (and waiters) were decked out in head-to-toe Tommy. Actor Josh Bowman rocked a blue chambray single-breasted blazer, and pro surfer Kalani Robb donned a sleek navy suit. Meanwhile, Charger fans got to schmooze with Philip Rivers, Derek Cox and Chibuikem Okoro. THE HIGHLIGHTS Guests enjoyed music by DJ Zen Freeman and participated in an Instagram photo booth throughout the evening. Crowds oohed over the limited-edition board by NYC artist Richard Phillips. It would make any surf session all the more fashionable, but we have a hunch it won't be getting wet. Photography by Getty Images

Master of Arts in Worship Leadership
Robert R. Brooks, D.M.A., Director
The Master of Arts in Worship Leadership is a unique program designed to engage worship leaders in a holistic study of Christian worship in order to educate the Church both individually and corporately in the theological and practical dimensions of worship. The program provides "worship leaders"— whether they are pastoral, educational, music, student (youth), or otherwise—a sound theological, transformational, and practical program for worship foundation and practice.
Why DBU's M.A. in Worship Leadership?
The Master of Arts in Worship Leadership degree provides today's worship leaders with a biblical, theological, historical, and practical foundation in worship. This unique program of study, grounded in the truths of Christian worship, equips worship leaders to effectively lead in experiential and transformational worship for today's church.
Student Testimonial
"After more than 30 years in the ministry, I thought I had focused on the essence of ministry, but my M.A. in Worship Leadership broadened my view and better prepared me for ministry ." - Sarah Stafford
"I am a different person after having the privilege of studying in the M. A. in Worship Leadership program at DBU. God literally transformed my life through the program. I have been truly blessed to experience a tremendous exposure to new ideas and different bodies of knowledge, and the amazing care that has been taken to disciple me and compassionately oversee my spiritual development. The men and women who have led our classroom settings are folks I will trust and lean on for the rest of my life. These mentors, friends, and co-servants in the kingdom have been used by God to pour into me the tools, the knowledge, and the wisdom that have and will continue to build in me the building blocks for discipleship, caring for souls, and worship leadership in music. The most rewarding thing that I have experienced is that I am closer to and more in love with Jesus after my time at DBU." - David Gentiles
"God has shown me a great deal about myself through the M. A. in Worship Leadership program. One of the great things about this degree is that it's only 36 hours, so I will be able to finish without having to take summer and winter classes. One great benefit to this degree is that I always have a choice between taking a class online, in class, or in a hybrid format. This means the degree works with my schedule and allows me to have a life outside of school (which every grad student needs). I'm thankful for all of these things and am excited to finally walk across the stage and receive my master's degree!" -Katie Curry

To the editor:
Thank you for allowing the opportunity for debating the issues of birth control and abortion insurance coverage. Here are some things people may not realize:
First, being so incensed with their rights, they forget the rights of the business owner and founder, whether a religious institution or not. It was their money that started it all (or donations from like-minded individuals.)
Second, you are just an employee, not the boss. Insurance coverage is a benefit that the employer offers to its employees. Some married women wave the coverage because they are on their husband's policy.
Third, what kind of coverage is more important and should be the priority in life? Birth control or coverage of pre-existing conditions and basic care? There may be a few exceptions, but they offer supplemental insurances.
Fourth, why is there not more of an outcry about no coverage right now for pre-existing conditions ... pregnancy is considered to be a pre-existing condition in some policies.
Fifth, why have people not complained and lobbied about employees who are part time with as many as 35 to 39 hours a week and cannot qualify for any insurance coverage?
Sixth, there are a lot of other conditions that are not covered that are considered cosmetic and that have to be paid out of pocket.
Seventh, when it comes to a questionnaire on types of the most important coverage a person wants on his or her policy, would it even make the list?
Eighth, if pro-choice business or corporate owners are lobbying for this, why have they waited so long and not offered this benefit to their employees before?
Ninth, they say they espouse choice - if so, then please allow the religious business owners and institutions or others who object to this coverage the same choice.
Last, a conscience clause is another name for choice.

E3 2014: Another jaw-dropping No Man's Sky trailer escapes to blow mindsWritten by: / / No Comments
Following on from the game's astounding debut reveal at the tail-end of 2013, Hello Games has once again blow minds (well, ours anyway) with an all-new gameplay video demonstration of the tiny team's super, sky-high ambitious game, No Man's Sky.
Haven't heard about No Man's Sky?
At its core, it's an exploration game that will let you venture out into an infinitely procedurally generated universe where you're free to discover new worlds and galaxies. Here's an official blurb:
"No Man's Sky is a science-fiction game without limits. If you see a mountain, you can trek there. If you see a planet hanging on the horizon, it's a real place, with its own rich ecology of creatures and vegetation.
"You can get in your ship, fly into space and it's yours to explore. Not just that, but every star in the sky is just the light of a sun, with its own solar system waiting for you to discover and adventure in."
Watch the trailer and keep that jaw clamped tight:

Apache Stonehenge new release: how to wire applications with Web Services standards
- Posted: Jul 15, 2010 at 6:07PM
- 4,672 views
Right click "Save as…"
Launched in January 2009, Stonehenge is designed to provide a public forum to test the interoperability of WS-* protocols on different technical stacks and to build sample applications that could provide best practices and coding guidelines for better interoperability.
Customers get working code on multiple platforms and vendors catch bugs and test interoperability issues in an open manner.
The first version "M1" of the Stock Trader sample application showcased the main Web Services standards, including WS-Security.
Today, we are glad to announce the availability of Stonehenge "M2", the second iteration, now including WS-Trust 1.4 and WS-FED 1.1 protocols for claims-based authentication scenarios. This allows the end-users' to be authenticated through an independent Security Token Service (STS) that is trusted by the bank and to pass that token to the broker to process the transaction.
In this video, Kent Brown (Product Manager, Microsoft) and Kamaljit Bath (Principal Program Manager, Microsoft) introduce Stonehenge and present an actual demo of the M2 release.
You can download the M1 and M2 releases of Apache Stonehenge from http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/stonehenge and the documentation is up on the wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/STONEHENGE/Index

I've been reading about the shutdown of tubing in Vang Vieng. I'm wondering if someone has information about whether the authorities enforce the shutdown? I was there some years ago when it wasn't as bad as it got in the last few years and I hoped people would stop coming to this beautiful place just for mushrooms and cheap booze.
CNNGo has a piece on this as well, explaining about how it was done. It sounds like there was a major expose and resulting crackdown.
Wikitravel's page on Vang Vieng also states that there's been a massive shutdown.
However, the Sydney Morning Herald reports these attempts have had 'mixed success':
(note, an Esky is a coolbox - Aussie word).
It seems that despite safety restrictions, you still get situations like the following occuring:
So long answer short - yes, there was a crackdown, but no, it hasn't stopped completely - so to answer your question, you can probably still do it, for now.

To the Editor,
Now that President Barack Obama doesn't have to worry about re-election, he can do what he wants. And he will. You're about the meet the real Obama. As he told Russian president Dimitri Medvedev, "After the election, I'll have more flexibility." To do what, exactly? The Russians aren't America's friends.
One day after the election, nearly 40 companies laid off thousands of employees, anticipating a $1.6 trillion tax increase, increased regulation and the prohibitively expensive hammer of Obamacare falling. They further anticipate cost increases in utilities, in the wake of more than 200 coal-fired power plants closing since 2009, along with many coal mines, all victims of the supposedly non-existent regulatory war on coal. These closings will drastically increase electricity bills, along with the cost of everything else requiring electricity to produce, which is pretty much everything else.
Two days after the election, the Interior Department announced plans to close almost 2 million acres to shale oil and gas drilling. This, like the plant and mine closings, is another volley in the left's ongoing war to force us to go green, using sustainable resources like solar and wind power. However, wind and solar, combined, can provide only 0.07 percent of our present energy needs, and cost more per kilowatt hour than coal - another reason costs will increase.
If I were an ambassador, I'd resign, because my boss - the president - clearly does not have my back. On Sept. 11, the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked after seeing signs of targeting for months, and several times requesting increased security. All requests were denied.
When the attack came, Obama and senior staff members watched, via drone, as events unfolded - for seven hours. American forces, prepared to launch a rescue, were ordered multiple times to stand down, supposedly, because the Libyan government had refused entry into its airspace. A good president - say, Ronald Reagan, perhaps George W. Bush - would've said, "screw your airspace, I have people in danger," and gone in. But, we don't have a good president - we have Obama.
When things calmed down, with four Americans - one an ambassador, who was tortured, beaten and sexually assaulted - dead, and an embassy in flames, Obama went to bed. Then, next morning, he flew to Las Vegas for a campaign fundraiser. You've got to prioritize, right? Dereliction of duty, at best; callous, deliberate negligence, at worst.
They tried for weeks to blame it on protests - incited by a poorly made Internet film - before finally admitting the truth: terrorism; pre-meditated. When questions arose - look there - a shiny object. The Petraeus - ahem - affair coincidentally erupted, becoming the media focus, smoke-screening the Benghazi issue. Four dead Americans vs. one philandering bureaucrat.
Something had better come of this - Nixon was destroyed after attempting to conceal a break-in he knew nothing about for months - and in which nobody died. Obama watched the whole terrible, humiliating episode happen, in real time.
Humiliating America is Obama's job one - that's why liberals adore him. It's going to be a long four years.

I know that pregnant ladies after their 7th month (in this particular airlines) are not allowed to travel by air but she somehow managed to be on-board (it is her responsibility to declare that). Anyway the baby was delivered in a professional way as if he was delivered in a hospital and he is fine and healthy :)
My question: What will be the place of birth for the baby? The origin country or destination country of the flight? Or somewhere else? Are there any related rules regarding this delivery?
This is a real photo of my friend and the baby he helped deliver
By the way, I have permission from the photograph owner to show it here.
I can't believe it, my friend helped in delivering another baby in another flight :) Again the baby and the mom are healthy and happy :) Respects to my expert friend.
Again, I have a permission to show the photo here.

automatic switch between extjs and touch
Since touch and extjs are two different but similar libraries, I'm guessing that this couldn't be done by toggling the stylesheets.
So I was wondering, how do people handle this situation?
i'm guessing server side browser detection and delivery of the appropriate libraries? Or is there a better way of doing this?

I posted a function to detect if a mobile browser device was connected or not.
I have gone a little bit further and also checking the viewable size but it's not listed in this function and classified my "screens" by device/browser connected and viewable size. The Sencha Touch screens can auto adjust better then a tablet with Windows 7 on it. Of course this will get better as we get browsers able to tell if it's in landscape or portrait modes using Ext JS. Some of the Sencha Touch which handles this might be in Ext JS 4.0 not sure yet will just have to wait and see.
But for a quick test in Ext JS if the viewable height is bigger then the width then your in portrait otherwise landscape.

Thanks I will check this out, and utilize some serverside filtering.

Bulletin 06/07-32, September 5, 2006
The California Law Revision Commission (CLRC) has analyzed the revocable transfer on death deed (revocable TOD deed), or beneficiary deed as it is known in some jurisdictions, for possible adoption in California. The revocable TOD deed transfers real property to a named beneficiary on the death of the owner without probate; it is revocable until that time.
The recommendation includes a comparison of existing real property donative transfer devices under California law and a review of experience in the nine jurisdictions that have enacted revocable TOD deed legislation. The recommendation also addresses in depth the legal incidents of the revocable TOD deed. The CLTA has commented extensively to the CLRC on the legal issues surrounding the TOD deed.
The Commission's view is that existing real property donative transfer devices do not serve the same function as the revocable TOD deed and that experience with the revocable TOD deed is generally favorable in other jurisdictions. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the revocable TOD deed, the Commission believes that the TOD deed would be beneficial in California.
Public comments on the tentative recommendation are due by October 10, 2006. To review the entire report, go here.

Algeria's state-run energy group, Sonatrach, has said it plans to invest $80 billion in oil and natural gas projects until 2016 as it seeks to expand the gas resource base, boost refining and petrochemical capacity and curb dependence on imported fuel. The nation produced 1.16 million bpd of oil last month.
By SUMMER SAID
DUBAI -- Algeria plans to double its refining capacity in
the next five years to meet growing domestic demand and expand
its petrochemical industry, Energy
Minister Youcef Yousfi said Tuesday.
"The current refining capacity in Algeria stands
at around 700,000 barrels per day, which will double in the
next five years through completing six new refineries," Mr.
Yousfi said, according to the official Algerie Presse
"The increase in refining capacity will allow Algeria
to meet its domestic needs until 2040 and develop petrochemical industries near the
refineries," he added.
Algeria, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries and holder of Africa's fourth-largest crude
reserves, produced 1.16 million bpd of oil last month, the same
as in February, according to a survey conducted by Dow
Jones Newswires.
Algeria's state-run energy group, Sonatrach, previously said
it plans to invest $80 billion in oil and natural gas projects until 2016 as it seeks to
expand the gas resource base, boost refining and petrochemical capacity and curb the
country's reliance on imported fuel.

Assuming that other parties involved in the propose expansion go along and forget the disaster of a few months ago. At this rate, investing in a muslem country may prove to be too great a liability for foreign investors.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Subway, buy one 6'' sub, get one free
Every day this April, before 9 am local time at participating Subway locations, buy one 6" sandwich and get a second 6" sandwich of equal or lesser value for free. Sales tax is added where applicable and some conditions may apply. Offer ends April 30
22 Comments add a comment
so midnight till 9am??
why do these deals never give the exact time to get the deal??
the website is never clear, and the workers in the store never have any clue
@fit410s: its before 9am... most subways are not open 12am-6am.
I have seen one store open at 6 but that's about it. Basically breakfast rush time...
Guess I'll need to call ours to find out. We have a few near us that are open 24hr.
In FL it is 7a.m. To 9 a.m. :)
Really? Before 9am? Sounds like an April Fool's joke?
Is this like the BOGO for breakfast at McDonalds as long as you wait 'til after 11AM?
That's awesome! And at least in my area in Orlando, 6" are $3 this month! I don't mind getting a full foot long for $3! :D
Its for breakfast sandwiches. They have been running commercials in Florida the past few weeks. So its whenever your local Subway starts serving breakfast till 9 am.
according to the subway website, this includes regular sandwiches, not just breakfast
There's a 24 hour Subway near me that I tend to go to late, so specific hours would be helpful on Subway's part. Del Taco is open 24 hours and their breakfast starts at 11pm.
@webconnoisseur: They've actually had this same deal in the past. I think it was late fall last time.
@pimpjuice2272: Its for any sub and they have had this before. Basically they want to get you to "eat" there for breakfast by offering you lunch for free. A marketing ploy to get more people in the door during their less busy hours.
$5 footlong > two 6-inch subs for $6
There's a 24/7 Subway out on one of our interstate roads. I was blown that I could make a sandwich at 1am
In case anyone is wondering, their breakfast subs are VERY good! I'm not sure, but I might even say better than their regular subs. What can I say about an omelette sandwich with banana pepper and spinach? Yum!
@gamayko: you nailed it on the head... you start going there for "free lunch" and get hooked on their breakfast (which is pretty good). Subway has been running this early morning specials off and on since they started doing breakfast.
@charlesp2009: Actually, it's $5 footlong < two 6" subs for $6. haha...
But it is a > deal. ;-)
@bigrich78: Perhaps, in my head I was thinking "Five dollar footlong is greater than two six inch subs for six dollars".
Great deal, much better than the ripoff over at Quiznos.
@hookhams: I have a subway open 24/7
so if its open 24hrs what would the time be?
@fit410s: It's the Gremlins dilemma: if you can't feed them after midnight, when can you start feeding them again? And if that's when Subway has it's deals, how do you feed Gizmo your free sub?
@fredwallace18: Ya know, I never even considered that... Isn't any time between 0:00:01 and 11:59:59 technically after midnight? So can you only feed Gremlins between 12:00:01 and 23:59:59

HUD secretary says he can't promise FHA won't need bailout
WASHINGTON -- A top Obama administration official said Thursday he could not guarantee that efforts to shore up a key government housing agency won't save it from needing a taxpayer bailout next year.
But Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan cautioned senators worried about the increasingly precarious finances of the Federal Housing Administration that making hasty changes to its operations could endanger the housing recovery.

To avoid case distinction overload, I also call (say) $Z^3-Z^4$ cyclotomic. Just divide out the $Z=0$ solutions in the following if they offend.
In the following, all exponents are assumed to be positive integers.
Assume that $P=Z^a+Z^b+Z^c-Z^d-Z^e-Z^f$ is cyclotomic. The "standard" form (since $Z-1$ factors out immediately) would be something like $P'=Z^A(Z-1)(1\pm{Z}^B+Z^{2B})$. But note that, say, $P''=(Z-1)(1+Z^3+Z^4+Z^7+Z^8+Z^9+Z^{10})$ telescopes to the same form as $P$. Surely, $P''$ is not cyclotomic, but it was just a random example anyway :-) So: Is there a cyclotomic $P$ than can NOT be written in the form $P'$? OR even some $1\pm{Z}+Z^n, n>2$ that is cyclotomic (although to this my instinct says, no way - the proof is probably an one-liner in complex analysis...).
To avoid case distinction overload, I also call (say) $Z^3-Z^4$ cyclotomic. Just divide out the $Z=0$ solutions in the following if they offend.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
To start with your second question, cyclotomic polynomials have a central symmetry or antisymmetry, If $f(x)$ is a cyclotomic polynomial of degree $N$ then $f(Z)=\pm Z^nf(\frac1Z).$ So $Z^n\pm Z+1.$ would only be cyclotomic if $n=2$
In your construction $P'$ you could replace $Z-1$ by $Z^k-1$. Looking at $(Z-1)\Phi_q\Phi_r\Phi_s$ which avoid being of this form one finds numerous cases. One is $q,r,s=2,5,8$

STEUBENVILLE - The New Year's Eve parties are over, the last of the Christmas cookies all but a memory, the indulgence of the holiday season "weighs" heavily on most people resolving to lose weight and get fit.
So as the Rev. Ashley Steele, executive director of Urban Mission Ministries in Steubenville, led a staff retreat earlier this month to set goals and jumpstart the dawn of a new year, she "ran" with an idea.
What if mission staff and volunteers set a fitness goal to participate in one of the upcoming Pittsburgh Marathon events as a runner or walker?
Article Photos
OFF AND RUNNING/WALKING — The Rev. Ashley Steele, left, executive director of Urban Mission Ministries in Steubenville, and Kitty Lancaster, mission custodian, are resolving to get fit in 2013 with a goal in mind — to generate a team of staff and volunteers from the mission and public to participate in one of the Pittsburgh Marathon running or walking events on May 5. Part of that also includes generating pledges and sponsors to raise money for the mission.
-- Janice R. Kiaski
How about if the public were invited to be a part of it, too?
And why not solicit pledges and sponsorships in the process to raise money for the mission and its programs?
With that in mind, the mission is recruiting staff and volunteers to be part of a yet-to-be-named team and welcomes the public to "join with us as we embark on a journey ourselves," reads the announcement in the mission's January newsletter.
"You, like many of our readers, may have made losing weight and/or exercising more your resolutions for 2013. Maybe you already exercise and would like to challenge yourself to do something different this year," the newsletter article notes.
"The staff has always tried to find ways that they could get healthy and do things as a staff," Steele said in explaining the thought process behind the suggestion. Staff members in past years, she said, might walk during their lunch breaks or do exercise DVDs.
"I think the idea of wellness, nutrition and health is an important thing for us," said Steele, the mission's executive director since July 2011. A health-based activity with a group goal has always been something staff members have wanted to do, according to Steele.
"We always talk about how can we get into shape," she said.
"But we've probably slacked off a little with the holidays," she said with a smile.
The consensus is to participate, to start off walking and give those interested a chance to decide what they're comfortable doing - not the actual 26.2-mile marathon but walking or running, for example, in the 5K event, which is 3.1 miles.
Steele, however, a runner since her college days, is opting to run in the half marathon that day - 13.1 miles, though she knows first hand what it's like to have finished a marathon.
"I ran a marathon in (Washington) D.C ., when I lived there several years ago, and I love running, and I haven't been able to do it that much lately of course with the baby," Steele said, referring to her newborn son, 3-month-old Theo.
"I ran with a team called Team in Training that raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society," Steele said of the 2007 event. She also has participated in 5K and 10K events in the past.
"I have always loved to do that and wanted to get back into doing those types of races, so with the Pittsburgh Marathon coming up May 5, I proposed it to the staff," she said, explaining there are different options for people who want to participate.
"So the consensus is let's do the 5K - either walk or run, and I think people are just getting back into actually moving and seeing how their body feels, but we'll see. We have to know by the end of March who is going to be in it, sign up for it, and then we'll be ready to go," Steele said.
The plan is to start with walking now and move into training programs over a 10- to 12-week period to build endurance.
For information on participating or being a sponsor, call the mission at (740) 282-8010. Suggestions for a team name also would be appreciated.
Kitty Lancaster, the mission's custodian since 2003, immediately came on board.
"Rev. Ashley was telling us about it, and I just told her I would like to be in it with her," Lancaster said.
"I'm really excited about doing it because it would be a lifetime experience. This would be the first time I ever did anything like this," said Lancaster, a Steubenville resident.
To get fit and lose some weight motivates her, she said.
Lancaster's normal activity level is keeping busy all the time. "I have a grandson that keeps me going," she laughs.
Lancaster will tackle the 5K walk.
"I've never done anything like this before. We're going to do an eight-week training, beginning in March," she said.
Participating in a race or walk event is fun, according to Steele.
"It's a really neat thing to be a part of," she said.
A bonus would be to have it also serve as a fundraiser. "If people are willing to sponsor us then all those proceeds would go to the mission for whatever type of program they wanted to fund," she said.
Potential sponsors can contact the mission.
"Just let us know and then we will set our goals and then people can either determine if they want to donate by the mile we run or walk or a flat donation," Steele said.
On race day, afterwards, Steele said a fun activity will be planned in celebration.
"We'll make sure we have a fun event when we get up there whether it's going out to eat afterwards or just something to celebrate. We'll figure out something extra to do," she said the opportunity for post-event camaraderie of a mission completed.
Beyond that, though, the getting-fit aspect brings a reward in itself.
"I always believe in the whole person being whole," Steele said. "Wellness is a part of our every day, and if we aren't well, then it's hard to actually do the things that God calls us to do, and so health plays a big role in that and fitness. I think it's important for us to be good examples in a number of ways."

I'm looking for a wrist-watch that can help me in various time-management tasks.
I'd like to
- regularly write down what I'm doing (time logging) so I know where my time is going, the watch could beep or buzz every x minutes to remind me to do this
- regularly remind me to relax/concentrate/stretch/something else, maybe on random intervals
- remind me to go to bed on time
- remind me to go home from work on time
- remind me to wake up on time
I'd like to have a watch that
- I can set to buzz instead of beep (vibrate)
- has good batterylife
- keeps time (some watches don't)
- can be read in the dark (some form of backlighting)
- repeats alarms
- is user-friendly
A programmable watch would be nice, but not strictly necessary.
So far I've found a lot of candidates but none that I really like.
If anyone has any experiences using these watches or some magnificent watch I may have missed: please let me know :-)

It's no secret that January always brings about New Year's resolutions, and typically, it's the desire to get back in shape. Despite a plethora of gyms out there to choose from, a vital component missing are fitness programs for seniors.
Enter Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program – designed for, and dedicated solely to, senior adults.
SilverSneakers is a nationwide program celebrating its 20th year in 2012, and is devoted to providing the more mature crowd with fitness agendas to suit their members' needs. In Louisville alone, SilverSneakers has partnered with more than 22 locations that offer the rigorous fitness regimens.
Metro Parks is the latest cohort to extend a hand to SilverSneakers, establishing two more locations this year in addition to the four already in operation. The highly anticipated Mary T. Meagher Aquatic Center in Crescent Hill and the Douglass Community Center in the Highlands are the most recent affiliates.
The locations offer amenities such as fitness equipment, treadmills and free weights for use any time. Additionally, the SilverSneakers group fitness classes are held at select sites, taught by certified instructors. Classes are normally 45 minutes to an hour long.
"A lot of folks that I talk to that take the classes have never worked out before, so this is a good place to start," said Kim Dues, fitness account manager for SilverSneakers. "And then, a lot of folks who have already had exercise experience in the past — they like the class atmosphere, they like the camaraderie."
After all, staying healthy is more than just weight loss.
"It's about maintaining flexibility, strength and mobility as we age," said Julie Kredens, communications manager for Louisville Metro Parks & Recreation. "And addressing chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis, delivered in a socially-oriented program."
These programs present more than just physical activity — health education and social events are important as well. "The classes are great for building up your flexibility, your balance and your agility, but the social aspect is huge," adds Dues. "You go to class, you meet new friends — it's fun."
For those who worry about cost, many health plans or Medicare Supplement carriers may include SilverSneakers as part of your benefit package. Otherwise, you can take classes for a minimal fee.
For more information about SilverSneakers, go to www.silversneakers.com, or call 1.888.423.4632.

What's Your Water Footprint?
Did you know that the average American is responsible for the use of 751,777 gallons of water a year? (That's enough water to fill more than 15 thousand bathtubs!) Or that depleting the water in rivers and streams can actually lead to flooding?
Sure, we could tell you all the facts about water use, but we'd rather show you, courtesy of this infographic from The Nature Conservancy and The Water Footprint Network.

What are the connections between Sukkos and Yom Kippur?

We say if the verdict of yom kippur was that we ever be exiled from our homes, may it be fulfilled with just this week in the sukkah.
(Hence an explanation of the Gemara -- sitting in the sukkah is like diluting wine; trying to turn G-d's harsh justice to mercy [by the above argument]. If it rains on your sukkah, the water gets thrown in your face -- nice try asking for mercy, no such sukkah-luck for you. If you need exile, you'll get real exile.)
The Aruch Hashulchan says after Hashem gave us the Torah even after we made the Egel Hazav(golden calf). This was on Yom Kippur the second Luchos where given to us this illustrated Hashem granting us forgiveness . Right away he gave the Jews a Mitzvah to make the Mishkan, which showed Hashem's love to Klal Yisroel because Hashem put his Shechinah amongst us. The Sukkah has the same message all year we do Aveiros comes Yom Kippur Hashem forgives us and then he tells us sit in the Sukkah and I will Protect you.The connection is that Yom Kippur and Sukkos are connected in that they illustrate Hashems forgiveness of our Aveiros as the Prototype of the Mishkan did Many generations earlier.
Here are a couple Midrashim that describe the connection between Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot:
Midrash Rabba 30:2 (English from here):
Midrash Rabbah 30:7 (from this class at TheYeshiva.net):
In General, the Chabad Chassidut emphasizes the view is that the whole time period from Rosh Chodesh Elul until after Simchat Torah is connected. Everything that is concealed on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is revealed on Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Also, It is specifically the Kabalat Hamalchut on Rosh Hashana and the Teshuva of Yom Kippur that brings us to the joy of Sukkot (Zman Simchatainu). See for example, here, here and here.

5 Real-Life Stories of Twins Creepier Than Any Horror Movie
#2. Twin Brothers Marry Twin Sisters, Produce Twin Babies
Twins love to do everything together, but there's a point where you have to draw the line and give yourself some privacy, otherwise stuff like wedding nights and colonoscopies could get pretty uncomfortable. That line did not exist for identical-twin brothers Craig and Mark Sanders, who got engaged on the same day, got married in the same ceremony, and settled down to live in adjacent houses ... with a pair of identical-twin sisters. One couple then went on to spawn some identical twins of their own.
Barcroft via Telegraph
Nobody's sure who gave birth to whom anymore.
This sounds like the plot of some terrible sitcom starring the grown-up Olsen twins (they're like 40 now, right?), with Charlie Day and Zach Galifianakis as the husbands, probably, but it's real. It was actually the wives who insisted on doing everything together -- poor Craig and Mark probably hate each other's guts by now.
Mark first met fellow twins Diane and Darlene Nettemeier at the annual Twins Days Festival in (of all places) Twinsburg, Ohio. Striking out and in need of some reinforcements, he rescued the situation by running back to his hotel room to inform his brother Craig that he had two blonde twins waiting for them at the bar. After the obligatory high-fives, the brothers hurried back and immediately hit it off with the ladies, with Craig hooking up with Diane and Mark with Darlene.
Craig Sanders via Nydailynews.com
"Mark has never stopped reminding me that he got the hot one."
The couples started going on dates together and even shared their first kisses at a baseball game (presumably one of the couples just went along with it so it wouldn't be awkward). While on a double date at a casino, the twins won several thousand dollars and, deciding to take that as a sign, they all got engaged right there and then. Since Diane and Darlene had never lived apart, after they got married in a joint ceremony, Craig and Mark agreed to move into adjacent houses with no fences.
Diane and Craig later had twin boys, while Darlene and Mark gave birth to two non-twin girls, with one other kid thrown in there somewhere to ruin the perfect symmetry (great job, kid). Today they enjoy beating everyone else at Twins Days every year and confusing the hell out of neighbors.

#1. "The Silent Twins" Were Creepier Than the Ones in The Shining
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Twins Jennifer and June Gibbons became notorious in the '80s when they carried out a two-woman crime spree at age 18 that resulted in both sisters being declared psychopaths and sent to England's most famous high-security hospital for the criminally insane. However, they already had plenty of experience being creepy before that: As kids they were known as "the silent twins" because they refused to speak to anyone but each other, and even then they used their own secret language that no one else could understand.
Via Almeida.co.uk
They would have made terrific sidekicks for Two-Face.
Born to Barbadian parents and raised in Wales, Jennifer and June refused to read or write in school, but at home it was the opposite: They read voraciously and filled dozens of diaries with writing, including full novels with names like The Pepsi-Cola Addict and Discomania. Like all children, they liked to play games, but rather than settling for Barbies or Monopoly, they had bizarre rituals where they decided which one would wake up in the morning first or which one would breathe first, and the other one wasn't allowed to do anything until the first one did so.
Via Kimbofo
Attempts to sell their idea to Hasbro were unsuccessful.
Their relationship was complicated. On one hand, they were best friends, and on the other, they occasionally tried to kill each other -- Jennifer tried to strangle June with the cord of a radio, and June responded by throwing Jennifer off a bridge. Their odd behavior escalated as they grew older and turned to petty theft and arson. It was at this point that their parents realized there might be something wrong with the girls and agreed to have them committed (and if they hadn't, the authorities probably would have insisted).
It was toward the end of their 14-year stay at Broadmoor Hospital that the twins would pull off their magnum opus. One day, they told their only friend, journalist Marjorie Wallace (author of their biography, published years earlier), that one of them wouldn't make it out of the hospital alive. Jennifer just looked at Wallace and said, "I'm going to die. We've decided."
Via Ham & High
"I did dishes yesterday, so she kind of owes me."
You see, the twins had realized that they could never be free or normal as long as they were both alive, and so, according to Wallace and later interviews by a reformed June, Jennifer agreed to be the one to die. And what do you know, on the day that they were being transferred to a lower security hospital, Jennifer suddenly passed away from a rare heart problem that was never fully explained. As predicted, June became considerably less creepy after she stopped being a twin, and today she lives a quiet life with her family. Which somehow just makes all of the above even weirder.

It's vacuum sealed, and the cheese looks fresh. Is a month a big deal?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Mozzarella costs what, $4 tops? Weigh up that cost versus food poisoning and you have your answer. As always, if in doubt, throw it out.
So long as it's been kept properly (refrigerated), it should be safe to eat. But it will have a different flavor than you're likely expecting. Not much, for just a month. But cheese flavors evolve as the cheese ages. "best by" dates on cheeses are mostly about flavor changes, not spoilage.
You can abuse this to a limited extent, if you'd like. You can age cheese at home and (for example) create sharp cheddar from mild cheddar. However, the flavors evolve better in larger pieces of cheese; an 8oz piece aged for 90 days won't taste the same as a 40lb block aged for 90 days. Many cheeses also require specific temperatures for the cultures to age properly, which home environments can't control as well.
If there is mold growing on the cheese, or other "ick" factors, you likely want to toss it. Tiny bits of cheese mold can be removed from a piece and leave good cheese behind; but heavy mold growth on a small piece isn't going to be salvageable.

Continuity, a Big-Data start-up that's still in stealth mode, has gotten $2.5 million in seed money to grow on.
It's not much but it comes from the right people: Andreessen-Horowitz, Ignition Ventures and Battery Ventures, where founder and CEO Todd Papaioannou, who was Yahoo's chief cloud architect and Hadoop leader for about a year, recently did a spell as entrepreneur-in-residence.
Continuity's charter is still a secret except Battery said in a press release its goal is to "enable the development of the next wave of real-time Big Data applications," a statement that gives nothing away.
Its website is relatively enigmatic. Whatever it's developing hasn't got to private beta yet but it promises, "If you're a developer building Big Data apps, you're gonna love us. We're gonna make your life easy!"
The money, which also comes from angel investors including Bob Pasker, Paul Ambrose, Matt Ocko and The Data Collective, is meant to accelerate engineering and product development.
Before Yahoo Papaioannou worked for Teradata as VP, architecture and emerging technologies and was an early employee at Greenplum as chief architect and director of engineering.

Halloween can be a tricky time for parents concerned about keeping their kids safe while trick-or-treating.
A parent's greatest fear on Halloween can be what happens as their children walk the streets. Bowling Green Police offer a few tips to make sure you're children are safe.
"Carry a flashlight with you, and wear a costume that has some kind of reflectant material on it," said Bowling Green Police Officer Ronnie Ward.
Ward says being seen by motorists is key.
"Make sure you're not crossing the street in between parked cars, because that makes your chances greater of another driver not being able to see you," said Ward.
Ward says everyone on the road should keep an extra cautious eye out for kids crossing, and both parents and kids should watch not only where they're walking but what houses they are walking to.
"When you're trick or treating, you want to watch where you're going, you're not going to a house that is not lit or can't be seen really well," said Ward.
Some parents might find it a treat to know there are apps you can download to track where your kids are while they're trick or treating.
These apps can be downloaded to both the parent and the kid's phones, and use GPS technology to track locations of both in case you get separated.
Ward says parents who are concerned about finding safe neighborhoods, can go to the Kentucky State Police website for a list of registered sex offender residences. To access the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry go to http://trickortracker.com/.

FOLLANSBEE - Leaders of Follansbee American Legion Post 45 and local officials recognized local veterans of all eras at a Veterans Day program held outside the post on Main Street Sunday.
Mayor Emeritus Tony Paesano told those attending that all Americans should note the many veterans over the years who have answered the call to duty and particularly those who lost their lives in answering that call.
"If not for their courage, we might not ever know the freedoms we enjoy," he said, adding, "All who benefited from their service have an obligation to remember the greatness of their deeds and the terrible sacrifice made by many of them. We owe them our gratitude, respect and love."

HONORED — Gerald "Peck" Blakley, left, a World War II veteran who fought at the Battle of the Bulge, was recognized by Bill Haught, commander of Follansbee American Legion Post 45, as the longest serving member of the post. Blakley, who is 96, has been a member of the group for 69 years. -- Warren Scott
The names of local World War II and Korean War veterans who are current members of the post were read by Post 45 Commander Bill Haught and Richard McCullough, the post's financial officer.
Haught also recognized Gerald "Peck" Blakley, who is the longest serving member of the post. Blakley, who is 96, has been a member for 69 years.
As an Army Infantryman, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge, a last-ditch effort by Adolph Hitler to ward off invading Allied troops in the forests of the Ardennes mountain region of Belgium near the war's end.
Though the Allied Forces won the lengthy battle, at least 19,000 Americans were killed and an estimated 47,500 were wounded.
Blakley was one of a small number charged with carrying radio equipment on his back.
He said there are many veterans who did as much as he, but he will accept the recognition on behalf of all of them.
Paesano noted he and Blakley had a mutual friend, the late James Lupinetti, who also served during World War II. Lupinetti had a chance to stay in the U.S. and instruct troops in the use of heavy weapons but wanted to join fellow soldiers in the fighting and was killed in action in France, he noted.
Representing the Vets for Veterans group, local veteran Tom McBride placed a wreath at the Cross Creek World War II Veterans Memorial not far from the post home.
Mick Mullen, the group's leader, said the members wanted to call attention to the monument, which lists hundreds of local men and women who served during the war.
Haught also recognized the many American service members whose fates are unknown because they are prisoners of war or missing in action.
He referred to a small table nearby on which were placed various symbols, including: a white tablecloth representing the purity of the lost service members' intentions; a rose in a vase representing the blood shed by them; a ribbon around the vase like those worn by the many family members and friends to remind others of those service members; and a candle representing their hope for their return.
Also participating was the Ohio Valley Veterans Memorial Squad, which delivered a military salute for the program, which ended with taps.
Charles Cline of Follansbee, an Army Korean War veteran who donned his dress uniform for the occasion, was among a number of veterans who turned out for the event.
Cline's father served in World War I and he himself was one of eight brothers who have served in the military, from World War II to Vietnam.
He said of the program, "It's great. I'd like to see more people participate, though."

HOUSTON (October 8, 2012)—U.S. District Judge Nancy Atlas Monday has blocked the scheduled execution of a Montgomery County man who was convicted of the 2000 abduction, rape and strangling of a 12-year-old girl.
Atlas ruled Monday that attorneys for Jonathan Green, 44, weren't properly allowed at a state competency hearing two years ago to present testimony from mental health professionals who treated him.
Atlas also said a judge who found Green competent for execution relied on an order drafted by prosecutors, that Green's lawyers had no opportunity to object and that at least one legal standard in the ruling was incorrectly applied.
Green was scheduled to die Wednesday in Huntsville for the slaying of Christina Neal.
Green lived near Neal's family in Dobbin, about 45 miles northwest of Houston.
Authorities say Green buried the girl in his backyard after he killed her and then later dug up the body and placed it inside his home behind a chair.

I'm a Web Developer and also Ubuntu user for some time. Ubuntu is my favorite and only one distribution I use. I work with Debian also but Debian is the best for server and Ubuntu for Desktop and laptop. Sad thing for me that I still need to use Windows just only because There is no chance to install Adobe CS5.5 package on Ubuntu. I tried with Wine but I wasn't successful. Also Adobe customer service informed me that installing Adobe package on Linux is illegal. Is there are any plans for changes? Is there are any chances for compatibility in near future?

Questions on Ask Ubuntu are expected to relate to Ubuntu within the scope defined by the community.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
That's entirely up to Adobe to decide. I would suppose that it mostly depends on how much work it would be for them to port it to GNU/Linux and how many licenses they would have to sell in order to cover the cost of doing so. I personally would also consider the large amounts of free marketing they'd get by porting it, but it might not be part of the equation at all.
Then again, for all we know, they're already working on it, and want to add it to the software center. Or perhaps they're waiting for others to make the platform more popular, and then they'll decide to port it.
In other words; it's entirely Adobes decision, and only they can answer that question.
You should ask to Adobe, not here :)
According to Adobe, there is no plans. They have asked before if there is a interest. I signed it, but nothing came of it. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4194553 Here is a number that you can contact them them directly about support for Adobe. http://computer-support247.com/adobe-support.html

This question already has an answer here:
I have a smooth data distribution on a 2D regular grid that is not a rectangular (it is a cross-section of a channel) and I need to find an Interpolating function
I have tried
Interpolation[{{x1,y1},f1},{x2,y2},f2},...}] but it doesn't work.
Interpolation work only on rectangular grid?
Thanks Giovanni

If (C,tensor,1) is a symmetric monoidal category and f:A-->B is a morphism of PROPs (or monoidal cats = colored PROPs), one gets a forgetful functor f^*:B-Alg(C)-->A-Alg(C) (where B-Alg(C)=tensor-preserving functors from B to C) defined by precomposing with f.
Does anyone conditions on A,B,C under which this functor has a left or a right adjoint? (e.g. if C has the monoidal structure coming from products, it has a left adjoint, is there more to say?)
