RECYCLING: AEP Ohio customers can win one of four $250 VISA gift cards when they recycle an outdated refrigerator or freezer now through April 30.
While the appliance recycling program pays incentives year-round, customers have an extra reason to recycle outdated units during this spring cleaning season.
In addition to receiving complimentary pickup of their old, inefficient refrigerator or freezer, participating AEP Ohio customers will receive a $50 incentive check and be automatically entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of four $250 VISA gift cards.
The company says recycling refrigerators and freezers creates numerous benefits for utility customers and the environment.
"Everyone is a winner with this program. When you recycle your old fridge, not only do you get paid $50, but you can also save up to $150 a year in electricity costs and help the environment," said Dave Tabata, AEP Ohio consumer programs manager. "Recycling a single unit repurposes more than 188 pounds of materials such as foam, glass and metal for future use."
To schedule a free pickup, customers can call (877) 545-4112 or visit AEPOhio.com/Rebates. Refrigerators and freezers must be in working order with an inside measurement between 10 and 30 cubic feet-standard size for most units.
A maximum of two units per household a year will be accepted. Incentive checks will arrive by mail six to eight weeks after the appliances are picked up.

Teens transported to state facility
April 2, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — Two Steubenville High School teens found delinquent in March of rape were moved from the Jefferson County Juvenile Detention Center to an Ohio Department of Youth Services facility on......
Bernardo: The coach needs to be isolated from the kids at full pay?? Because of the serious nature of the allegations, the coach should be isolated without pay and if he is found innocent, the school district can always give him his back pay. However, if he is found quilty and has already been paid, the district will never recoup the money that should never have been paid.

At rut gears the coach is fired and the athletic director will be next because the coach was verbally abusive and the ad gave him a slap on the wrist. In Steubenville, the coach is aware of a rape, shields the perpetrators, probably refuses to talk to investigators and he has the support of the principal and the superintendent, who hide behind the due course of grand jury. That "coach,"the person who runs that school and dictates to the superintendent, needs to be isolated from children, at full pay, until the grand jury decides whether or not to indict. The principal and superintendent should plan for early retirement

These two will not like it in the new juvenile detention facility away from the safety of Steubenville. They should be in adult prison for what they did to that Jane Doe rape victim.

Lifetime reporting requirements seems a bit excessive and expensive on the taxpayers. Perhaps a 5 year reporting/probation period would be more practical. These boys did a terrible deed but they are still boys and deserve to have a life after detention. If they don't learn their lesson in rehabilitation, they will find themselves spending their life in the "big house" for the next 20 years.

"Dead-on accurate, readable, and honest, this book will give no comfort to those gringo politicians still mourning the communist failures in El Salvador and Nicaragua. Bill Meara is someone who has the insurgency-counterinsurgency era in Central American nailed." -- Col. John Waghelstein, USA (Ret.), Naval War College, former commander of U.S. Military Group – El Salvador and of the 7th Special Forces Group,
"Contra Cross is not only a refreshing and an uplifting change from most war memoirs, it is also punctuated with the beautifully written highs and lows of everyday life. Meara studiously avoids both personal aggrandizement and being an apologist for American politicians. His clear and uncommon common sense is refreshing and does much more: It adds weight to his observations both as a Green Beret--trained officer and a U.S. State Department foreign service officer. For the military historian as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how American overseas assistance worked, this book is a must. The fact that the writing reflects intelligence, candor, and fairness to all sides is a terrific bonus."-- Loyd Little, former Green Beret author of the award-winning Vietnam novel Parthian Shot
Why does the United States have such difficulty dealing with insurgency?
A look back at the Central American wars of the 1980s sheds light on the problem. Contra Cross presents one young American officer's journey through Central America's violent decade of revolution and counterrevolution. Bill Meara started out as a teacher at a Catholic school in Guatemala, but he went on to become one of fifty-five U.S. military advisers assisting the Salvadorans in their fight against communism. By the end of the decade, he was in the U.S. Foreign Service working as a liaison officer to the Nicaraguan contras. Meara was one of very few Americans to work on both sides of insurgency in the region: in El Salvador he supported efforts to defeat insurgents; with Nicaraguans he worked to keep an insurgency alive.
Contra Cross takes readers into the world of an American adviser struggling with cultural differences and human rights violations while trying to stay alive in murderous El Salvador. We join Meara on dangerous helicopter rides into contra base camps on the Honduran-Nicaraguan border, and learn what it's like to be in a U.S. embassy under attack. From Special Forces school at Ft. Bragg, to lunch with Communist defectors in El Salvador, to a contra POW camp deep in the jungle, we get a taste of life on the cutting edge of America's controversial Central America policy.
More than a collection of war stories, Contra Cross explores the difficult moral and ideological issues of the Central American wars. Meara's experiences with insurgency and counterinsurgency allow him to provide critically important insights on why the United States has such difficulty dealing with ragtag armies of third-world rebels.
William R. Meara served on active duty in the U.S. Army from 1948 to 1988, attaining the rank of captain, and then joined the U.S. Foreign Service where he has served as a diplomat in Honduras, Spain, the Dominican Republic, the Azores, and the United Kingdom.

12 Pregnancy Superfoods
4 of 14
You need three or four servings of lean protein a day during pregnancy. Great sources include veal, chicken, turkey, pork, and eggs. Veal is low in fat and high in folate and iron, which helps guard against anemia. If veal isn't your favorite type of beef, look for cuts of meat that are 90% lean or leaner. Meat labeled with the word "prime" tends to be fattier, while words like "select" or "choice" often indicate leaner meat.
Try this 20-minute recipe for Veal Scallopini.

I am trying to implement an iterator that will iterate through the HashMap and its duplicates. For example
string.put("a", 1);
string.put("a", 2);
string.put("b", 3);
string.put("b", 4);
However with my iterator I only iterate twice, once for where the value is "a" and the other for "b". I'd like to make an iterator that will iterate 4 times throughout the whole Map.
EDIT: I kind of left out a lot of detail because I just wanted to see if this iterator was possible, but the code I'm writing is actually an abstraction of a map. For example, I have an add function which takes in parameter T. So for adding a string it would look like add("Hello"). By adding this string, it's key is "String" and its value is 1. If I call add("Hello") again it will bump up the value to 2. If I add it again, it will bump up its value to 3 and so on. I want to create an iterator that will iterate through all the stuff I have added.

The author of marginfix / blockmargin is/was interested in a certain loss of functionality from one version of the
marginfix package to the next. Out of interest and curiosity I wanted to see what this
blockmargin environment was all about. However, only the most up-to-date versions of packages are available for download from most repositories.
Is there an archive of historical versions of packages available (on CTAN, perhaps)? Hopefully something similar to this historical, stable version archive of
beamer. Or is this all left up to the package authors? And I doubt whether Wayback Machine would be that good a place to start...
I am not planning on using the older version, since they may have deprecated functionality that does not interface well with other packages.


text: I recently read Rule 34 and absolutely loved it, so I blew through Halting State, and now I'm about to finish Ready Player One (which is pretty good). Now I have Robopocalypse, The Quantum Thief and Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom qued up in my phone (audio). (Which, I believe, are all "near future" but if not oh well). Anyway, I realized I am really enjoying this whole "near future" sci fi thing. In fact, I started wondering if that wasn't partially why I loved Ender's Game so much (my top sci fi novel), because it's sci fi but in an easily recognizable future. I didn't particularly enjoy Hyperion, for example (well, I DID, but it took awhile and I had no urge to read the sequels) or Consider Phlebas, maybe because they were so difficult to get into, being such unrecognizable futures, with entire civilizations full of new technology/terminology/etc. to understand. So. Best Near Future Sci Fi? Any recommendations? Any thoughts?

I have 2 Google calendars, associated with my account. But after synchronisation, android shows only one (the first).
I've review Google calendar settings and found, that only the first has field "Owner", filled with my account. The second is seemed to be shared and I am not owner, but simple member.
How can I make my android (Samsung Galaxy Tab) synchronize with both calendars?
I have 2 Google calendars, associated with my account. But after synchronisation, android shows only one (the first).
I recall having this issue with some calendar not showing up. If I remember correctly it had to do with having some calendar disabled/hidden in google calendar at the time of the first sync; the calendar app would then not bother looking for other calendars.
Try going in Settings > Accounts and Sync > Auto-sync and uncheck it.
Go to google calendar on the web, make sure all your calendar are visible.
Then in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data
Back to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Auto-sync , check it.
When you next open your calendar, it should be empty, but you should be able to select all your calendars.
I have multiple calendars syncing to my Droid, only some of which am I the owner.
Go to the Calendar app, and press
If you are using multiple Google accounts, you need to make sure that all of them are set to sync calendar data:
Samsung has their own Calendar app on the Galaxy Tab, which is slightly different from stock Android:
Your second calendar should now properly show up in all apps that poll calendar data.
Today I tried Calsync to sync Lotus Notes calendar to Android.
I have found a way to activate multiple calendars in Samsung Galaxy Tab:
Hope this helps people who cannot sync multiple calendars with Samsung Galaxy Tab!

Mental Health and Dissociative Fugue
In this article
How Is Dissociative Fugue Treated?
The goal of dissociative fugue treatment is to help the person come to terms with the stress or trauma that triggered the fugue. Treatment also aims to develop new coping methods to prevent further fugue episodes. The best treatment approach depends on the individual and the severity of his or her symptoms, but most likely will include some combination of the following treatment methods:
- Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy, a type of counseling, is the main treatment for dissociative disorders. This treatment uses techniques designed to encourage communication of conflicts and increase insight into problems. Cognitive therapy is a specific type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing dysfunctional thinking patterns and resulting feelings and behaviors.
- Medication: There is no medication to treat the dissociative disorders themselves. However, if a person with a dissociative disorder also suffers from depression or anxiety, he or she might benefit from treatment with a medication such as antidepressant, anti-anxiety, or antipsychotic drugs.
- Family therapy: This helps to teach the family about the disorder and its causes, as well as to help family members recognize symptoms of a recurrence.
- Creative therapies (art therapy, music therapy): These therapies allow the patient to explore and express his or her thoughts and feelings in a safe and creative way.
- Clinical hypnosis: This is a treatment method that uses intense relaxation, concentration, and focused attention to achieve an altered state of consciousness (awareness), allowing people to explore thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. The use of hypnosis for treating dissociative disorders is controversial due to the risk of creating false memories.
What Is the Outlook for People With Dissociative Fugue?
Most dissociative fugues are brief, lasting from less than a day to several months. Often, the disorder goes away on its own. The outlook, therefore, is quite good. However, without treatment to work out the underlying problem, additional fugue episodes can occur.
Can Dissociative Fugue Be Prevented?
Although it might not be possible to prevent dissociative fugue, it might be helpful to begin treatment in people as soon as they begin to have symptoms. Further, quick intervention following a traumatic event or emotionally distressing experience might help reduce the risk of developing dissociative disorders.

Revelation Chapter 21:Eternity: New Heavens, New Earth and New Jerusalem
Where will you be in one million years? Stupid question? To most living in the world there is no perception of what an eternal existence means. Jesus in the Book of Revelation takes us to the window of eternity and peels back the curtain to give us a view of what "Eternity" is going to be like. As a believer in Jesus Christ, you can look forward to an Eternal existence in the presence of God, you will live in God's house, with the "Saints" and angels. In Revelation Chapter 21, Jesus, through John, expands the details of this existence. Jesus wants us to envision our future home, He wants us to invite everybody we know, with the time we have. This presentation cover Revelation Chapter 21:
Revelation Chapter 20: Part 2: The Millennium and the Great White Throne
In the Book of Revelation, God has revealed the future so you can live in anticipation of what is coming. Jesus in the New Testament presented the Kingdom of God. This kingdom was referred to in the Old Testament (Tanach), especially by the prophets Jeremiah, Isaiah,Daniel, Zechariah and others. This kingdom, according to the book of Revelation is 1000-years also known as the Millennium. Many Bible teachers and pastors reject the idea of a literal Millennium, doing so they must reject the literal message of Revelation and create their own. The following is Part II of a literal presentation on the Millennium as presented in scripture, from both the Old and New Testament perspective.
A Study of Psalm 83
If you want to understand what is going to happen in the Middle East, all you have to do is turn to Psalm 83. This Psalm was written by Asaph, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to reveal an event which is now being fulfilled. Asaph was Levite and prophet who composed 11 Psalms (Psalms 72-83) in the time of David (I Chronicles 6:39). Asaph wrote about a day in which all the surrounding nations would conspire with one mind to eliminate Israel from being a nation.
Why there needs to be a Third Temple[1]?
This was the question asked recently:
"What is your support for the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in the tribulation I don't think there is one going to rebuild that temple.?"
First point to understand here is that the Scripture clearly teaches, before the "Second Coming" when Jesus returns in "Glory and Power" there will be a Third Temple on the Temple Mount site.
Let's look at the scriptural and prophetic evidence for a Third Temple. In Matthew 24, Jesus talks about both the 2nd and 3rd Temples, he makes a distinction between both. The Second Temple existed in the time Jesus
Introduction to Chapter 3
In Nehemiah Chapter 2 Nehemiah prays and fasts for 4 months before coming before King Artaxerxes of Persia. Finally on Nisan 444 B.C., (March/April), he comes before the king and queen allowing them to see his depressed and mourning demeanor. The king seeing his sadness asks him to explain. Nehemiah then describes the reason for his sadness, the condition of Jerusalem, a city without walls and without gates. The king then asks Nehemiah, what he wants.
Reason 8: The Historicity of the Old Testament (Tanakh)
The Bible both Old and New Testament were written over a period of time covering more than 1500-years. From 1450 B.C, to almost 100 AD, the words of the Bible were written within the context of the historical events of the day. If the Bible is to be considered accurate and true, the events recorded in the Bible should correspond with the recorded historical events outside of the Bible.
Reason 7: The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Silver Scrolls
In 1947, near the Dead Sea in an area known as Qumran ancient Hebrew manuscripts were discovered that had been hidden for thousands of years. Prior to the discovery of these manuscripts, the oldest existing complete copies of the Old Testament were only dated to 1008 A.D., causing many to question the reliability scripture. At the site of Qumran, the community known as the Essenes[1] were actively involved in the copy and transmission of scripture, before their destruction by the Romans in the first and second century. The Essenes hid their treasured manuscripts in caves to prevent their destruction by the Romans. Hidden away they would be discovered two-thousand years later.
What happens after you die?
This is the most important question you could ever ask yourself. The problem is most people wait until it's too late. Lets look at Steven Jobs, the founder of Apple, he had the world in the palm of his hands, he developed one of the most profitable companies in history, his success is what people dream about. Yet, he died at the age 56, in the prime of his life. He attempted to use his wealth to save his life, he was one of only 20 people on the earth to have his
Truthnet.org top resources for any Bible student
1. A Study Bible:
A Study Bible is the most important resource for any Bible student or seeker trying to understand the Bible. A Study Bible will allow you to explore and learn more as you read, because it cross references other verses, supplies information about the verses, such as the historical and background events. A Study Bible will also provide timelines, and indepth background about the specific books of the Bible, including who wrote it, when it was written, where it fits in the timeline along with other books. Knowing that Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah, Haggai, Esther, and Malachi were written during the "Second Temple" period, helps you understand the context of the text.
Another example, Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel all lived in Jerusalem at the same time, before the Babylonian invasion in 605 B.C.,is significant. It helps knowing why Daniel refers to Jeremiah (Daniel 9:1-2) and Ezekiel references Daniel (Ezekiel 28:3), a Study Bible will help you understand these points. ESV Study Bible example

NASCAR Requires Baseline Concussion Testing - Wheel to WheelWritten by on March 14, 2014 Poppa NASCAR takes a huge step in the name of safety
Most people close to the sport will openly admit NASCAR has made some questionable decisions over its tenure as the top-level circle track racing sanction in the USA. That's not to say that controversy is bad—after all, rating, fans, and excitement is the name of the game, and stirring the pot a bit fosters fan interaction and viewers. But recently, NASCAR made a move in the name of safety that I think is a huge step in the right direction—and it's probably something you didn't hear much about.
When the NASCAR Sprint Cup series rolls into Daytona to start the 2014 season, all drivers will be required to have undergone baseline concussion testing. In the past this was optional. And while I'm sure a few drivers underwent the testing procedure, mandating everyone to undergo the test is quite bold.
What's the benefit, you may ask? It's pretty simple. When a driver gets tested and the results are recorded, those records give doctors a reference for if or when a crash happens where a driver may have suffered a concussion.
While this makes sense for the guys that go 200 mph week in and week out, how does it affect the Saturday night racer? We've heard Cup drivers say the crashes they are in at 190 mph aren't as bad as some of the Saturday night short track wrecks they've been in. The reason is the amount of safety equipment in a Cup car. Here's the simple truth—most local racers don't have half the safety equipment that the Cup teams do. Should you rush out and spend thousands of dollars on custom poured full-containment seats or cut your rollcage out and have a COT-style cage put in? Lets not be silly, the goal is to be safe, not ridiculous. But at the same time, don't be stupid. Seat companies are offering affordable full-containment seats, the head-and-neck restraint companies have affordable options, and new firesuits are more comfortable than ever and while offering way better protection than what was available 10 years ago. Take advantage of the technology that's available!
NASCAR mandated baseline concussion testing. I don't think this is something other, lower level sanctions need to follow suit on, but if you race a car at tracks where you reach really high speeds, maybe its not a bad idea to do on your own. The testing is specialized and may be pricey, but if it helps a doctor more accurately diagnose injuries resulting from a crash, it's worth the price tag.
This past year I was at the Tour stop at Evergreen Speedway with Bob Bolles and we watched winged Sprint Cars hit north of 150 mph at the ends of each straight. If one of these guys blew a tire and crashed at that speed, the likelihood of a concussion goes past probably and nears certain, if that's all that happens. It's a dangerous sport, but why not go out as prepared as possible, so when that next accident happens (and it most likely will) you have the best chance of walking away.
Don't look at concussions as a minor injury. A concussion is a brain injury, plain and simple. Even minor ones will add up to cause major issues over time. A concussion severe enough to knock you unconscious will cause a lot of damage, but 20, 30, or 40 minor concussions over a career can leave you much more debilitated in the long run. Long story short, be prepared, be safe.

yep. Too bad I don't own/want a ps3.
Got an Xbox, but it doesn't really matter. I have Hulu Plus and Netflix memberships, so there isn't really much I want to watch but can't.
No I did not, so thank you for the awesome news! We've been waiting for this as well.
Farewell @netflix
I just hope it's more user friendly than the website version
Now if someone can make it work with 3.55 CFW, then we'll be in business!
Does this service have HD programming with 5.1 sound? Maybe a better question would be, "Does anyone have a link to the service specs?"
@proxgotsthafia: It depends on the movie. Some do, some don't.
@capguncowboy: I have both and I think that Netflix's selection is a little broader, but YMMV.

I've read about how source-based linux distros like Gentoo can have considerable performance increases when compared to pre-built distros like Ubuntu because they install from source with optimizations for your particular system. Is is possible to build Ubuntu from source to get the same kind of benefit?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Mar 11 '11 at 0:18
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I am not sure about the benefits if you have fairly new hardware components but for the "Ubuntu from source" part of the question the answer is YES, you can build not only your favorite applications from source, but the entire operating system.
Here is how:
You need to install apt-build. Its a comandline tool like apt-get, but instead of downloading and installing the binary package, apt-build downloads the source code of the package, compiles it and then installs it to your system.
After you install it with
you will be asked for an optimization level (medium is ok), whether you want to create an apt-build repo for APT (Yes) and a question about processor architecture (my intel i7 is considered core2 ). Of course all options can be reconfigured in this way:
The above command offers two additional options for the gcc compiler and make builder. Their descriptions can be found in system manuals: man gcc and man make.
For a manual and available command options check
But the most useful are:
For example:
Lets say you want to compile/install Gedit. Instead of apt-get install you just do
Apt-build makes use of deb-src entries contained in the /etc/apt/sources.list file so the compilation and installation processes are fully automatic (similar to emerge found in Gentoo). Apt-build downloads sources of the main application and its dependencies, compiles them, creates a deb package, and finally installs the package.
Some notes about apt-build world.
In my opinion don't attempt it, unless you have 24 or more hours available !
If so first thing you should, remove/disable/uninstall any third party applications (it better to do in a fresh install of Ubuntu) and then do :
The above command will copy your full list of system packages to apt-build.list so that they can be compiled from source. Open that file
and remove any GCC/G++ entry
Then you can do :
I suggest to add two options — --yes and --force-yes — to make the rebuilding process fully automatic.
You could start a flamewar and a huge debate about this kind of topic, but lets look at real life.
The speed of your OS greatly depends on what hardware you run it and that is the major factor.
I change distros frequently while most of the time staying with Arch, but is Arch way faster than Ubuntu? No.
Gnome with compiz on Ubuntu 10.10 useses about 300ram, on Arch 200ram, I have 4gb of ram, I don't feel the difference, but if you compare Ubuntu with gnome to Arch with awesome, there will be a huge boost in responsiveness and resource usage (300ram vs 50ram), but this only matters if you are choosing a distro for a netbook.
So if you have a fast desktop and don't want to spend time tinkering with your system just use Ubuntu, but if you have a netbook than consider using a lightweight WM on Arch :)
Apt-build is useful for more than performance, you can build custom distribution images and repository for specific hardware ready for mass install for your business. By this, I mean an optimized binary distribution if you know all the hardware will be the same. This way, only one computer does all the work compiling, and the rest are just upgraded using the remastered ISO. It's not completely just for lightweight or encoding. And a custom Installer ISO allows you to reinstall without recompiling if for some reason your system is unrecoverable after a disaster.

University of Cape Town: One of the most beautiful places to study
Accolades for Cape Town just keep rolling in. Last week, the University of Cape Town (UCT) was named one of the most beautiful universities in the world, by British newspaper The Telegraph.
The newspaper said that it is UCT's mountain setting that helped it clinch the third spot on the list. Top spot was taken by Oxford University followed by Harvard University. UCT is the only African university on the list.
It's not difficult to see why UCT featured on the list. There are six campuses, of which the middle/lower, upper, medical Groote Schuur and medical school campuses are situated in Southern Suburbs area of Cape Town, close to Groote Schuur hospital and Devil's Peak, with Hiddingh Campus situated in Cape Town's city centre, and Breakwater campus adjacent to the V&A Waterfront.
UCT is South Africa's oldest university and was founded as a high school for boys in 1829. It grew into a fully-fledged university from 1880 to 1900, through funding from government and private sources. One of the key developments during this period was the admission of women.
In 1928, the bulk of the university's facilities was moved to the site on the slopes of Devil's Peak. The land was bequeathed to the nation, by mining magnet Cecil John Rhodes.
UCT earned itself the nickname "Moscow on the Hill" for its continued opposition to apartheid. In the 1920s the first small group of black students was admitted and today the campus is one of the most diverse campuses in South Africa, with staff and students hailing from more than 100 countries in Africa and the rest of the world.
The university, which claims amongst its alumni world-renowned heart surgeon, the late Professor Christiaan Barnard and well-known author JM Coetzee, is recognised as one of the oldest universities in the world.
Last week it was also ranked as the best university in Africa in the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings for 2012-13.
Students and alumni took to Twitter to express their pride at the accolade: @Connie_Kalule tweeted: "University of Cape Town (UCT) ranked the 3rd most beautiful university in the world behind Oxford & Harvard #Proud #UCTAlumni" and @Captain_Ddz tweeted, "It's the mountain".
Patricia Lucas UCT's acting communications and media manager said: "Its striking beauty, its location at the foot of Table Mountain's Devil's Peak, its panoramic views and vibrant and diverse cultures are all part of what makes UCT special.
"The campus is home to a number of historical artworks. The university's heritage trail allows the UCT community to explore its own heritage in relation to broader issues of heritage in the country. We welcome visitors who would like to walk through the campus and tour the heritage trail."
The home of one of South Africa's leading artists, Irma Stern (1894-1966), is situated near UCT's Lower Campus in Rosebank, Cape Town. It was transformed into the Irma Stern Museum in 1971 and houses a comprehensive collection of the artist's work, as well as her private collection of antique furniture and African art, Lucas added.

I am reading a text book where they show the electron has spin 1/2 using Dirac's equation. At one point in the derivation they define $\pi=P-qA/c$ where $P$ is the momentum operator and A is the vector potential. They then claim that $\pi\times \pi=iq\hbar B / c$ where B is the magnetic field. Apparently $\nabla\times A=B$ as we are assuming the scalar potential is static.
My question is what happened to the $A\times P$ term in $\pi\times\pi$, why is that set to zero?

Former store slated for demolition
SMITHFIELD - Terri Barath, Village Council member and representative to the Regional Planning Commission, reported the former Mortland Store on Main Street will be one of 28 homes slated for demolition due to nuisance complaints.
Ohio Valley Title is working on the title research for all the buildings slated to be torn down and, once completed, a 30-day legal notice will be sent out, officials said. In the meantime, consultants are in the process of conducting asbestos surveys.
Officials want the Mortland house to be taken down sometime after April.
Barath also reported the Ohio Neighborhood Stabilization has seven of the 11 homes on the agency's report, including the Sparks property on Third Street.
Regarding the home repair program, Smithfield received 10 of the applications and about $70,000 is available for seven or eight homes to be selected for repair in the county. The applications are for individual families for repairs on their homes. No village is involved, Barath noted. Homeowners must be aware of the requirements involved and the application is to be filled out by the homeowner.
Cera announces funding for EGCC
COLUMBUS - State Rep. Jack Cera, D-Bellaire, announced the release of $89,495 by the State Controlling Board for Eastern Gateway Community College.
According to Cera, $76,500 will be used for roof replacement, while the remainder, $12,995, will help meet contractual obligations with the architect providing design and construction administration for the restoration project at EGCC Pugliese Center Parking Lot. The college parking lot is in need of restoration.
"Being able to complete the roof repairs, especially since they leak, will help maintain the stability of this facility for years to come. Restoring the parking lot and making sure it is up to code helps keep the facility operational for the professors and students attending the school," said Cera.

The 25 Most Baffling Toys From Around the World

This man does not know why he must wear the poop hat. He can only grimly accept his fate.
"Hey, what's the deal with that blonde girl talking on the phone over there? I've never noticed her before."
"Her?" (looks) "Oh. We don't have to worry about her."
"Why not?"
"Just because."
Stories about dolls that have to go undercover as cats to bust up feline organized-crime syndicates is one of those quirky Japanese things that Western culture hasn't appropriated yet. Yet.
And, just as we sometimes adopt and misunderstand certain features of Japanese culture, so, too, do the Japanese sometimes misunderstand ours.
Making toilet training fun and approachable is an admirable goal, but this seems like a good way for your child to develop an unnatural affection toward their own waste products. At a bare minimum, the sympathetic "Why me?" faces on the waste products will make flushing the toilet a psychologically jarring event.
When designing finger puppets, it's critical to only portray them from the waist up, because as soon as you put legs on them it looks like you're giving your diminutive new friend one hell of a ride. The dazed expression on this particular example only adds to the effect.
The Japanese version of the Scooby Doo team is made up of Sadslab, Baby Sauron, Raging Emo, Yellowturd and Soulglutton.
We don't care what he says it's for, when a clown comes at you with a syringe, head the other way, quickly.
This is a practice stripper poll, that was yanked from toy store shelves in the U.K. last year when some fussy killjoys questioned whether it was a good idea to market stripper poles toward children.
Yes, that's a gun that fires teddy bears. Although crime is rare in Japan, when it happens, it is absolutely hilarious.
Aside from the ubiquitous LEGO, there's dozens of different building block systems marketed throughout the world. However, none of them are as sexually frustrating as Cock Bloc Super.

"I just choked up on the bat, and wanted to make contact and put the ball in play," he said. "I'm really not sure what happened. I just put my head down and started running to first base as fast as I could go."
Fact Box
Madonna 3, Wheeling Central 2
Wheeling Central 100 100 0 - 2 5 3
Madonna010 010 1 - 3 7 2
WHEELING CENTRAL: Peroni (LP, 7K, 6W) and Yocke. Bakitis S; Gwynn S; Shaw RBI; Griffith S; Gentile D, S.
MADONNA: Fuscardo (WP, 8K, 1W) and Silvestri. Baire S; Fuscardo D; Comis S; Bowser S; Silvestri S, Mazur S, RBI; Antionone S, RBI.
For the record, he was awarded a hit on the play.
Antinone had been pinch hit for in the sixth inning.
"I told him when I pinch hit for him, 'Don't worry about it, you're going right back out there on the field (reentered intop the lineup) and you will get another chance,'" Provenzano said. "He knew the situation. That was one heck of an at-bat. He needed to put the ball in play and he did that. That would be one heck of a movie. After striking out twice, after being pinch hit for, he came through when we needed him."
The Dons got seven strong innings from ace Luca Fuscardo, who struck out eight and walked one. He allowed five hits.
Fuscardo gutted out the final two innings after jamming his thumb sliding into third in the fifth inning, after doubling and scoring the tying run on an error.
"He is a leader, whether it is on the mound or at the plate," Provenzano said. "He is a tough kid. We needed a good outing and we know with him on the mound we were going to get it."
Central starter Mario Peroni went the distance, and probably deserved a better fate.
He struck out seven and walked six.
"One my last visit (to the mound) I asked him how he felt and he said he wanted to stay out there," coach Jimbo Wodusky said. "He said, 'I want to finish this game for you.' He's a senior, he deserved that chance and he had pitched a great game. That was a great game, between two great pitchers."
He had pitched out of several jams. most notably a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fourth and he looked like he was going to do it again in the seventh.
After Comis singled, Will Bowser was hit by a pitch and Dom Silvestri walked, Perino got Vince Merico to pop to short and Nick Mazur to first base, both retired by fine running catches by shortstop Nick Bakitis and first baseman Brian Campbell.
That brought up Antinone, who quickly found himself down in the count.
"I wasn't going to let my last game be 0 for 2 with two strikeouts," Antinone said. "I knew that I was going to beat it out when the ball left the bat."
"He came within one pitch of getting out of that (jam) too," Wodusky said. "That was the old Baltimore Chop. That's baseball. It's a tough sectional and it is really a shame that two very good teams are going to go home. This year, we are one of those teams."
Central went up 1-0 when Bakitis singled with two outs in the first and scored when Campbell reached on a two-base error.
Madonna would tie it up when Bowser walked leading off the second, moved to second on an error and scored on Mazur's single.
Central went back out in front in the fourth. Derek Yocke drew a one-out walk, Fuscardo's only walk of the game. Pinch runner John McGlothlin went to third on Jeff Gwynn's basehit and scored when Brian Shaw laid down a perfect bunt between the first base line and the pitchers mound.
Fuscardo helped tie it again in the fifth, leading off with a double, stealing third and scoring on an error.
"I'm proud of these kids," Wodusky said. "They fought and battled and that's all you can ask for. Credit (Madonna). They had some great at-bats, fouled off a lot of good pitchers and kept the pressure on the whole game."
Provenzano, whose team faces Bishop Donahue today, said he won't decide on a starter until game time, he said.
"I'm blessed to have five guys I can go with, and I feel confident going to any of them," Provenzano said. "It doesn't get any better than a three-game series, and you have to win."
Madonna has to beat Bishop twice, and the Bishops will have staff ace Hunter Kaschke available.

The closure feature is widely used in JavaScript and make it quite difficult for programmer who was used to program in a no-closure language. So what is the best practice about using closure and how to avoid shooting yourself in the foot.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In my opinion, the best way to avoid shooting yourself in the foot with a cool language feature is don't use it if you don't need it.
Find out what closures can do for you and how they are commonly used and stick with standard patterns unless you really need (not want) to use them for something else.
If you just want to use them (for instance, to learn them), do it on your own play project.
Understand what a closure is
Understand how the closure will grow
Watch out for capturing references
Don't close over variables you don't need to close over
Make the functions that will become closures as simple as possible
Don't create closures when they aren't needed
In general, you can avoid shooting yourself in the foot by:
Play around with closures, figure out how they work, then you can use them confidently and get expected results.

Science Features
One year ago, on February 11, 2013, delegations from around the world watched tensely as NASA launched the Landsat 8 Earth observing satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Landsat 8 is the latest success in a decades-long NASA and U.S. Geological Survey partnership that has provided a continuous record of change across Earth's land surfaces since 1972.
Orbiting 440 miles above Earth, Landsat satellites document natural processes such as volcanic eruptions, glacial retreat, floods, and forest fires, and human processes such as urban expansion, crop irrigation, and forest clear-cutting. Since 2008, all Landsat data are freely available to anyone on Earth.
The launch went perfectly, as did NASA's thorough testing of the satellite's systems. On May 30, NASA transferred the satellite to the USGS, which now operates Landsat 8 along with older sister Landsat 7. With two Landsat satellites on orbit, the USGS can provide data every eight days for any spot on the Earth's land masses, supporting water managers, agricultural commodities markets, and scientists around the globe.
National leaders applaud
"Data produced by Landsat plays a vital role in managing America's natural resources and the industries and jobs that rely on those resources," said Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee that funds NASA and USGS. "It was Landsat that brought home the severity of Midwest floods in the 1990s, and it has helped identify periods of severe drought that were so devastating to our farmers and foresters. My hat goes off to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that has played a key role in building each of the Landsat satellites, including Landsat 8, improving each satellite with the latest technology and help us better understand planet Earth."
"For over forty years, the Landsat Program has provided a valuable stream of image data of the Earth's landscape. The newly activated Landsat 8 satellite continues this mission, sending images to the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center near Sioux Falls, S.D.," said Senator John Thune of South Dakota. "The land and water resource data from Landsat 8 is a great asset to agricultural producers and others in both the public and private sectors. I salute the professionals at NASA and USGS who have worked to make this resource available for decades, and into the future."
"Thanks to the hard work of many dedicated individuals at both NASA and USGS, today we celebrate the one year anniversary of the launch of the Landsat 8 satellite," said Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota. "Throughout my time in Congress, I have been a proud supporter of the Landsat program, and the USGS EROS Center, which processes Landsat data. The images produced by Landsat satellites are used all over the world as a vital planning tool, allowing researchers to analyze the ways in which land use and management have changed, and giving policymakers important information as they seek to develop sensible economic and environmental policy, including helping to track flooding, wildfires, drought, and other changing environmental conditions. I commend NASA and USGS on reaching this milestone!"
"The 40-year archive of Landsat imagery, propelled into the 21st century by Landsat 8, is a treasure trove of scientific information that can form the basis for a myriad of useful applications. The USGS free data policy makes this treasure available to every person on the planet," said Anne Castle, Assistant Secretary for Water and Science at the U.S. Department of the Interior. "I congratulate the dedicated scientists, engineers, and support staff at USGS-EROS and NASA Goddard who carefully built a long and successful partnership over many years. Commercial enterprises, government scientists and managers, and the academic community can all take advantage of the Landsat data you've made available."
Landsat 8 shines in rookie season
Stocked with a 10-year supply of fuel, Landsat 8 carries two highly sensitive observation instruments, the Operational Land Imager and the Thermal Infrared Sensor. Advanced technology increases the reliability and sensitivity of these instruments, while the improved measurements are still compatible with the past Landsat data record.
Thanks to a sustained push by NASA, the USGS, and industry partners, Landsat 8 was operational in time for the 2013 North American growing season and wildfire season. Landsat 8 data were immediately put to work in a wide range of decision-support applications, including forest health monitoring by the U.S. Forest Service, burn severity mapping by the USGS, NASA, and the National Park Service, and cropland mapping by the National Agricultural Statistical Service.
Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 together collect nearly 1000 images per day, almost double the amount of data collected three years ago when Landsat 5 and 7 were operating together. This increased data collection benefits all Landsat applications, especially in persistently cloudy areas (e.g. humid tropics and high latitudes).
The USGS data processing system has exceeded expectations, providing images to the public within five hours of the data's arrival at the USGS EROS. This speedy data delivery has significant benefits for disaster support.
Landsat 8's improved signal-to-noise ratios enable users to identify more subtle changes in the landscape, and the advance from 8- to 12-bit measurement is yielding new uses of Landsat data for snow- and ice-covered regions. Landsat 8's geometric and geodetic accuracy is so good that the USGS now has the means to use Landsat 8 data to significantly improve the geometric accuracy of the entire 4.6 million image Landsat archive.
In comparison tests conducted by Curtis Woodcock at Boston University, Landsat 8 data classified land cover 20% more accurately than did data from Landsat 7. Australian researchers are finding that the availability of improved Landsat 8 data has enhanced their ability to identify and quantify areas of land degradation or improvement in the extensive Australian outback. Using Landsat 8's thermal data, Ted Scambos and fellow University of Colorado researchers found temperatures in eastern Antarctica that were the lowest surface temperatures ever recorded, several degrees lower than the −128.6°F recorded by ground instruments in 1983.
A joint effort
As partners in the Landsat program since its inception in the 1960s, USGS and NASA have distinct roles. NASA develops remote sensing instruments and spacecraft, launches satellites, and validates their performance. The USGS then assumes ownership and operation of the satellites, in addition to managing data reception, archiving, product generation, and distribution. Both agencies' Earth science programs use Landsat data heavily for new science and applications.
Since Landsat 8 launched, the USGS EROS Center in Sioux Falls, S.D., and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., have continued their close collaboration — putting the new satellite through its paces by steering it into its orbit, calibrating its detectors, collecting test images, and certifying the mission for sustained operation.
"The Landsat archive, reaching back across four decades, provides an unprecedented record of land-surface change," said NASA Goddard Director Chris Scolese. "The
Landsat program's success is largely due to the great partnership between NASA and the USGS. Every day we are building and strengthening that partnership, which will undoubtedly contribute to the success of future missions."
"NASA and the USGS have developed and maintained unique capabilities – where each leverages the strength and expertise of the other. Together, we have created a program that is far more valuable to the Nation – and the world – than either agency could have achieved alone," said USGS EROS Director Frank Kelly.
A commitment to the future
"NASA's successful development and launch of Landsat 8, the rapidly increasing volume of data and Landsat-based science products available from USGS, the user community's clear statement of the need for uninterrupted Landsat data, and the Administration's identification of Landsat as one of the Nation's critical data streams – all of these factors," Kelly continued, "have sparked the Administration's commitment to sustain Landsat for decades to come."
A year after launch, the record for Landsat 8 is clear. The new satellite strikes an effective balance of introducing new technologies and capabilities while maintaining compatibility with the existing 41 years of Landsat data. With Landsat 8's seamless integration into the family, the Landsat program continues to provide objective information about the Earth that is trustworthy, easily accessible, and useful in many different fields of science and resource management.

Why would someone choose FreeBSD over Linux? What are the advantages of FreeBSD compared to Linux? (My shared hosting provider uses FreeBSD.)
closed as primarily opinion-based by jasonwryan, Ramesh, cuonglm, Anthon, slm♦ Jul 29 '14 at 12:44
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you want to know what's different so you can use the system more efficiently, here is a commonly referenced introduction to BSD to people coming from a Linux background.
If you want more of the historical context for this decision, I'll just take a guess as to why they chose FreeBSD. Around the time of the first dot-com bubble, FreeBSD 4 was extremely popular with ISPs. This may or may not have been related to the addition of
Personally, I really like the BSD systems because they just feel like they fit together better than most Linux distros I've used. Also, the documentation provided directly in the various handbooks, etc. is outstanding. If you're going to be using FreeBSD, I highly recommend the FreeBSD Handbook.
FreeBSD has a reputation for a more robust network stack. From professional experience at a previous company, we had a proxy server that was falling over from the load. When we threw FreeBSD on it, the server handled the load with ease for well over a year (I moved on - could still be working).
NetBSD has a reputation for running on a ton of different hardware.
OpenBSD has a (well-deserved) reputation for being extremely secure.
It's Unix, it's robust and it's free. No real reason to avoid it, but you'll miss out on the new hotness that the Linuxes tend to have.
I prefer the license philosophy of BSD license vs GPL license. To me, free means do pretty much whatever you want with the code. It's so free you can make it not free like apple did.
Practically it probably has no impact on me, but I prefer it on principle and was one of the reasons I chose to use FreeBSD over Linux.
Another reason is I wanted to tinker, I find when when I use Ubuntu I'm not putting on my unix hat; instead I'm just using the GUI everywhere as if I was in windows (which is not necessarily a bad thing just different).
FreeBSD is an operating system. Linux is a kernel. So in your question you're comparing apples and orange seeds.
Licensing and device support would be my two top reasons why someone would choose one over the other
Like @User, I prefer the BSD license and is the main reason I use it as my primary OS.
I'm in no way against the GPL, but if a MIT/MIT-like licensed app is available, I will use it first over a similar application that is GPL'd.
That's very attractive to the business-oriented, as well as users such as myself.
The Ports system is beyond compare (IMNSHO) and has been a model for imitation by several Linux distros (Gentoo comes immediately to mind).
Also, because FreeBSD isn't as prevalent on the desktop as Linux (PC-BSD is a fabulous), my inner geek has to use it as my desktop OS. I can't help it.
So far, there isn't anything on Windows that Linux can't do, and anything on Linux that FreeBSD can't do. ...and that includes Flash - without running under the Linuxulator: gecko-mediaplayer+Firfox+GreaseMonkey+Linterna Magicka.
Here's something I wrote about BSD unix variants in answer to a similar question on serverfault. Broadly, the code base of BSD systems is more tightly controlled than a typical linux distro. You will get something a bit more like a traditional unix and the system is very robust with a more conservative change policy.
If you're a pure open-source shop and not dependent on any commercial software like Oracle then a BSD unix system will give you a very stable, well understood and controlled software platform, more so than Linux. Most of the historic issues like poor driver or SMP support have been resolved years ago, particularly on mainstream server hardware.
If you want a traditional unix desktop then a BSD unix will give you this as well as any linux distro. If you're after an end-user system you might be better off with Ubuntu or Fedora. Gentoo Linux was based on a derivative of the BSD 'ports' packaging system.
The difference between BSD and Linux distributions dated back to the early days of Unix.
AT&T owned Unix, but due to restrictions it could not compete in the computing industry. Due to this, they licensed Unix to Berkeley. Berkeley took off with this customizing and tweaking everything until eventually there was no AT&T code really present in their new OS, named BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution.)
Enter a bit later, Linus Torvalds was in an Operating Systems class working with an incomplete Unix clone called Minix, which was meant to train students in building an OS. Linus took off with this idea and founded the Linux branch.
Now my experience lies more with OpenBSD, and from that perspective the difference is staggering. It's been mentioned that OpenBSD is more secure, with only 2 exploits in its history it's earned that right.
The founder Theo de Raadt believed that security should be a primary focus and that many Linux and other BSD systems were not dedicated to writing good code, and instead focused too much on adding new features just to add them.
OpenBSD has a release schedule of 6 months, anything that cannot be implemented fully and securely within that time period is not added. Compared to Linux distributions like Ubuntu, who never test a danged thing before releases, this is a huge key to peace of mind for many sysadmins and server ops.
For a long time, FreeBSD's 'ports collection', which means the software available for it through its package manager, was bigger and better than what was in the Linux repositories. I would imagine that's not true now, although i don't know of any statistics.

Two die in city shooting
16-year-old male facing charge
January 31, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — A 16-year-old male was in custody today facing charges in connection with a double homicide Wednesday evening at the Heritage Place Apartments on Market Street, City Police reported....
Two young men lost their lives, they were only 19 and 21. I can't imagine what their families and the family of the shooter is going through right now. I don't think this article is this place to bash Steubenville. The police do what they can but you have to realize people aren't very forthcoming with information nor all that willing to be a witness. The police have procedure they have to follow as well. There's a big difference between knowing someone is guilty and proving that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. In light of the consent decree I'm assuming the police department is careful about not infringing upon an accused criminal's constitution rights. There is also this to think about; when the police take months investigating to bring down a drug dealer and then that dealer ends up with a slap on the wrist. The blame for all this hardly belongs on the shoulders of our police force, they can only do so much. My opinion, it's the parents.

The problem is the "gangsta" and "gangsta wannabe." Maybe Steubenville needs a "gang unit" to harass these idiots, arrest and charge them with serious crimes so they go back to Chicago, or grow up, get off welfare, stop dealing drugs, or just become productive members of the community.

Since the murders, Steubenville has had a 14 year old girl driving a stolen car and shooting a pistol. " Da Ville " has about 18,000 residents yet has the crime appearing to rival the larger inner city ghettos.
Perhaps, if Steubenville had more emphasis on educating the youth in ethics, community standards, common sense morality rather than boasting about corruption and athletes are in a different social class when it comes to bad behavior and choices, the decaying eyesore of a town just may become like the vast majority of other American towns.
Mayberry Steubenville is not!

Hundreds of mourners attended a memorial service for "Buckwild" star Shain Gandee at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium in West Virginia.
Radio station WCHS reported many people at Gandee's Sunday memorial wore camouflage in his honor, as his family had requested.
"A lot of people would say it's the redneck thing. But that was just Shain," Gandee's friend, Glen Goff, told the radio station. "Shain was an outdoorsman. He loved being in the mud. He loved to hunt and fish ... . He was a nice guy."
E! News said MTV, the cable television channel that aired "Buckwild," paid for Gandee's funeral expenses.
Production on Season 2 of the rural reality show was shut down after Gandee's death.

Wichita police say a 7-year-old girl was left at school while her parents allegedly were trying to buy drugs.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://is.gd/XMWlxc ) the girl was left at a south Wichita elementary school Tuesday while waiting to be picked up.
When the parents didn't show up, the child's grandmother asked police to go to the girl's home to check on the mother.
Lt. Jeff Weible says investigators found indications the parents were out trying to buy drugs.
The girl and her 4-year-old sister were placed in protective custody.

I'm cleaning up a farm that has loads of junk groups on it. Is there an easy way to tell if any of these groups have been assigned access to anything? The intention is to delete groups that have members but don't confer any privileges.
Oh dear, this seems a classic case of RTFM.
Go to the group, as in the page where the members are listed, and go to Settings>View Group Permissions.
Out of the box, there's no "easy" way to do this. You could whip something up in PowerShell to iterate through the groups and search everything in the farm to see if that group has access to anything (obviously if it's a big farm you'd want to run it off hours). There's also a few third party tools that help with this; I believe Axceler has a tool that helps with group management, but usually those tools are a bit pricey if you're only going to do this once.
There is no out of the box solution but look at these two solutions. Maybe they could help you out.

The following question came up in a discussion with my advisor:
Let $(\Omega, \mathcal F, \mathbb P)$ be a non-trivial probability space, and suppose that $\mathcal G$ is a proper sub-$\sigma$-algebra of $\mathcal F$. Does there exist an event $U \in \mathcal F$ such that
$U$ is independent of $\mathcal G$, and
$0 < \mathbb P(U) < 1$ ?
The answer is surely yes, but we can't seem to prove it. Our initial approach was to consider the space $L^2(\Omega, \mathcal G)^\perp$ of finite-variance random variables orthogonal to $\mathcal G$ (i.e. $\mathbb E(X|\mathcal G) = 0$ a.s.). Since $\mathcal G$ is a proper sub-$\sigma$-algebra of $\mathcal F$, this space is non-trivial. Choose a non-constant $X \in L^2(\mathcal G)^\perp$ and let $U = \{X < c\}$. For some $c$ the event $U$ has non-trivial probability.
However, orthogonality does not imply independence. For a simple example, take independent random variables $Y \sim \operatorname{Bernoulli}(1,p)$ and $Z \sim N(0,1)$, then set $\mathcal G = \sigma(Y)$ and $X = YZ$. Certainly $X$ is not independent of $\mathcal G$ though one easily can check that $\mathbb E(X|\mathcal G) = 0$ a.s. Our strategy above might find $X$; could we modify our strategy to find the independent $Z$ instead?

One problem that frequently stumps me while working on sites is how to transition between two differing background colors elegantly. For instance, the top portion of a site I'm working on has a gray background while the bottom portion has a bluish texture. This creates this:
These two colors almost blend together and the boundary between them isn't very prevalent. Is there a way of using borders to ease this transition. Would making the gray darker/lighter help?

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Another group of Fort Riley soldiers is home with their families, reuniting with their loved ones after a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.
Nearly 170 Soldiers of the Division Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, returned to Fort Riley Wednesday.
The soldiers were welcomed home during a. ceremony at the post's redeployment center.
The "Big Red One" Soldiers began to return from a one-year deployment to Regional Command-East on Feb. 11.
Their family members packed the stands and greeted them with hugs and kisses.
"I got all teary-eyed coming over here thinking about everybody who has someone coming up and everyone misses their soldiers and we're just so proud of each and every one of them and just thankful that God has brought them home and everyone is safe so it's a good thing," said Erin Nieves who was waiting for her husband with her young son.
Operating as Combined Joint Task Force-1, the 1st Infantry Division commanded and controlled operations throughout RC-East, an area roughly the size of Virginia. RC-East includes 14 provinces, 7.5 million citizens and 450 km of a mountainous border with Pakistan. They helped protect citizens and and facilitated the transition of security responsibilities to Afghan National Security Forces.
"You get to help the people of Afghanistan but also, you're away from your family. So today is a very special day. It's a great feeling to return to your family after a year-long deployment. As you can see in the crowd, you can see the smiles on everyone's faces. It's a great day today to return to our families," said Command Sergeant Major Maurice Chaplin.
"I feel great to be back with my family! Thank God! It's been hard but we had a great team to get through everything and get the job done and I had the great support of my family," added Chief Warrant Officer Basketville.
The unit's remaining Soldiers will continue to return throughout the upcoming weeks. Thousands of 4th Brigade soldiers have also returned from Afghanistan in recent weeks.
