When Kurt wrote his review of Wahoo Fitness's Fisica Sensor Case for iPhone he talked about some of the technical aspects of the case:
Made from ABS, the case is durable and weatherproof. Overall control of your iPhone is possible through the clear lexan screen cover, that works very well to the touch and I found that I could navigate with gloves on.
I don't much care about that kind of thing and figure that if you do you can get all that information from the source.
What we're going to focus on today is iPhone safety and overall dork factor.
Let me just get this out of the way quickly, mounting an iPhone to your handle bars is going to make you look like a dork but, as you probably wear lycra or, at the very least, a helmet that makes your head look like a mushroom, you're probably used to the judgement of others and don't much mind a few judging looks from guys with disk wheels and aerobars screaming past you at 21.5 mph – that is if you can even see their judging looks at that incredibly fast speed that requires a $5,000 bike build to even come close to hitting.
I digress…
The iPhone is big when compared to a standard cycle computer. The Bike Mount makes it slightly larger. If that kind of thing bugs you, go out and by a proper GPS unit and don't bother with the rest of this review. If, however, you are a bike commuter who likes the idea of having a some GPS tracking available at the touch of a finger and the possibility of easily texting – while stopped, of course – your loved ones to let them know that you'll be delayed because of a 35 mph headwind, this Bike Mount might be for you.
The Bike Mount is really a mount and a water/shock resistant case for your iPhone 4 (or iPhone 3G/3GS). The phone rests in a removable nest of silicone, complete with cutouts for front and rear cameras and headphone/charger ports. The phone and silicone bed are then enclosed in a hard plastic case with touch-sensitive membrane so you can actually use your phone while mounted.
After more than 50 rides with my iPhone on my handlebars, some of it in the moist early morning, I can vouch for the cases ability to keep my phone dry – and my warranty intact. Additionally, while I opted not to hurling my phone across the room to test the "shockproof" qualities of the case, I did drop the phone one while rolling slowly through a parking lot. The case and phone held up nicely, but I made it a point not to do that again.
The mount itself is my favorite part of the case. It's easy to get on the bike and easy to move around. Basically, the mount attaches to the bike via a threaded plastic strap. You wrap the strap around the stem or handle bar – I guess you could mount it on the seatpost or downtube if you'd like – thread the strap into a little hole and tighten using provided Allen key – you are warned not to over tighten the mount as, presumably, the plastic strap might break, but I avoided testing that outcome as well. Once the mount is on the bike, the case snaps on via a rotating clippy bit.
Overall, I thought the Bike Mount was well designed and did exactly what I wanted it to do; safely mounted my iPhone where I could see it. The mounting process was easy and didn't require a bulk supply of zip-ties for when you wanted to move it. In the end, it turned out that – at least on longer "training" rides – I didn't really love having my iPhone on my handlebars. It's big and bulky and tends to get in the way, especially when out of the saddle. My commutes were a different story. Having the phone handy on my way home made it possible for my wife to text me, "ride faster, the kids are hungry." And for me to easily text back, when stopped, to let her know my ETA.

Protecting your right to speak
One of the better measures to come out of the 2013 session of the Florida Legislature is Senate Bill 50, popularly known as the Right To Speak Bill.
We hope that local governments in Polk County will be quick to implement it, and that citizens will take advantage of its provisions.
We have often commended local governments in our communities for their responsiveness to their constituents.
The chances that Joe and Minnie Lunchbucket can propose a bill that will make its way through Congress, or even the state Legislature, and become law are limited.
But when it comes to city commissions, county commissions, and school boards — what we have called "friends and neighbors government" — the chance to have an impact on government improves dramatically.
We have been critical when these agencies seek to limit or discourage public input.
As a minimum, there customarily is a place on the agenda of meetings of elected bodies for members of the public to be heard on any subject.
While some agencies make it inconvenient to exercise this right by putting that item at the end of the agenda, many encourage exercise of that right by placing the opportunity at the start of the meeting.
Putting public comment at the start of meeting makes it possible for citizens to speak up, then go about their day's activities, rather than waiting for hours of business to be conducted before they can make a five-minute statement of their concerns.
Equally important, it ensures that constituents will be heard before, not after, action is taken.
Government junkies, a term that includes most journalists, understand the differences between work sessions and regular meetings, between ordinances and resolutions, and between first and second readings.
The average citizen doesn't understand the distinction, and there is no reason why he should.
The First Amendment, best known for its guarantees of freedom of speech, religion, and the press, also guarantees the right of the people "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Note the absence of qualifiers about work sessions, multiple reading of ordinances, or other procedural issues.
Note further that this is a right of citizens, not a privilege granted by government.
The typical citizen exercises the right to "petition the Government" only once or twice in a lifetime, when he feels strongly about an issue, and he should not have to be an expert in government processes — or even a government junkie — to do so.
Florida's new "Right To Speak Bill" (signed into law last week by the governor) requires that "a member of the public be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard by a board or commission before it takes official action on a proposition."
To us, that means, as a minimum, that the public should be heard at the start, not the end, of a meeting, and should be permitted to speak on an item of business at any time, whether or not a formal public hearing is required.
The typical bureaucratic response to allowing greater access to the governmental process will be to present the worst case scenario: "But if we do that, such-and-such might happen."
The concern should be: "If we don't listen to our constituents at every opportunity, government will be less responsive."
Years ago, when Florida's Government in the Sunshine Law was passed, one government attorney in Polk County met in secret with his elected body to give members a list of ways to get around the law.
Another explained the law to his board with these words: "If you think you're cheating, you probably are."
Which position better represents the public interest? We encourage local governments in Polk County to seek ways to implement — not restrict — the intent of the Right To Speak Bill.

Location and Surroundings:
The Bairro Luz apartment ocupies the third floor (no elevator) of a typical Bairro Alto building located in a small, quiet street of this famous central Lisbon neighbourhood.
This is where Lisbon's nightlife is concentrated, since the area is made up of a grid of small, cobbled streets, criss-crossing each other and full of local bars, traditional Fado restaurants, traditional taverns and excellent restaurants. The streets are particularly lively at night, but the Bairro Luz apartment is tucked away on a small street just far enough away from the action to provide a peaceful night's sleep for the guests staying here.
This entire district is very central, and it is a very good base to visit the rest of the city, with easy access to the Baixa downtown area, the designer shops of Chiado, or the old town Alfama area. Nearby, the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint and gardens, seen in the photos above, provide wonderful views of Lisbon's rooftops and across the city to the Castle and the River Tagus.
From this property, it is a quick and easy 10-minute walk to the central Rossio square, where visitors can take the train to Sintra and beyond, or the Metro to other parts of Lisbon.

This apartment has been canceled us a week before the start, as doubly occupied ?? !!
So a big minus for the owner over the apartment I can not say anything.
Roger was very helpful and always to reach !!!
Diese Wohnung wurde uns eine Woche vor Urlaubsbeginn abgesagt, da doppelt belegt??!!
Also ein dickes Minus für den Vermieter ,über die Wohnung kann ich nichts sagen.
Roger war sehr hilfsbereit und immer zu erreichen!!!
It was a great holiday in a great apartment, which is dimensioned very abundant for 2 people. The inner terrace we did not use, why even in the fantastic surroundings and the location near the Graca Miradouro?
Rui was very nice, tried to explain everything well and has in the meantime requested by SMS, if everything is in order and offered the day of departure to get a taxi, but what we do not need.
The apartment and location are highly recommended, even more so when you know the film by Wim Wenders, who plays in the immediate vicinity.
We'd stay at the apartment when we should go to Lisbon again.
Es war ein toller Urlaub in einer großartigen Wohnung, die für 2 Personen sehr üppig bemessen ist. Die innenliegende Terasse haben wir nicht benutzt, warum auch bei der fantastischen Umgebung und der Lage nahe des Graca Miradouro?
Rui war sehr nett, bemüht uns alles gut zu erklären und hat zwischendurch per SMS nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und angeboten am Abfahrtstag ein Taxi zu besorgen, was wir jedoch nicht benötigten.
Die Wohnung und Lage sind absolut zu empfehlen, umsomehr, wenn man den Film von Wim Wenders kennt, der in unmittelbarer Nähe spielt.
Wir würden sofort wieder in der Wohnung übernachten, wenn wir nochmals nach Lissabon gehen sollten.
We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely Apartment. It was 100 % clean and tidy when we arrived.
We were met at the airport by Patricia, our very nice and helpfull host. She took us directly to the Apartment where we also were greeted with a botlle of local red wine :)
The apartment is warm and sunny and is located very near the Sé Cathedral, a walk of apx. 20 minutes to Rua Augusta, the main shopping street.
Only thing to keep in mind is that it is an attick with slanted walls !!
The apartment was very nice and everything we expected after reviewing photographs and comments from other tenants. Welcome to our arrival so friendly, both as Mauro Nuno were very helpful to us and we had no problem.
El piso fue muy agradable y todo lo que esperábamos después de revisar las fotografías y los comentarios de otros inquilinos. La recepción a nuestra llegada muy amables, tanto Nuno como Mauro fueron muy atentos con nosotros y no tuvimos ningún problema.
All the best !!!!
Alles bestens!!!!
A really great ausgestettetes Appartment.Mit great attention has been combined with new age. From the outside you do not expect what you then place indoors. Only disappointment was that the bedrooms do not have windows! And the whole house is very loud. Class is the location of the center of life in Lisbon.
Ein ganz toll ausgestettetes Appartment.Mit viel Liebe ist alt mit neu kombiniert worden. Von aussen erwartet man nicht was man dann drinnen findet. Schade war nur das die Schlafzimmer keine Fenster haben ! Und die ganze Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig. Klasse ist der Standort mitten im Leben von Lissabon.
The apartment is very well located, central and has very good access to public transportation. We enjoyed everything very much. Keys was very reliable and the apartment clean.
The location is quiet, yet all the shops available. The interior is cozy and not too cluttered, yet also practical and useful for 5 people.
In good weather, life is naturally everywhere easy and enjoyable! Lisbon was overall a great experience and we are here at this establishment right in the middle. We are happy to think back to the time.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, zentral und man hat sehr gute Anbindung an alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. Uns hat alles sehr gefallen. Schlüsselübergabe war sehr zuverlässig und die Wohnung sauber.
Die Lage ist ruhig und trotzdem alle Geschäfte vorhanden. Die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und nicht zu überladen, aber trotzdem auch praktisch und nützlich für 5 Leute.
Bei gutem Wetter ist das Leben natürlich überall easy und angenehm! Lissabon war insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis und man ist hier in dieser Unterkunft mitten drin. Wir werden gerne an die Zeit zurückdenken.
Nice and clean apartment, perfect for 2 people, a little cramped for 4 people. Amenities (WiFi, TV, kitchen, bed, etc.) are good. Toilet / shower room small but functional. Nice terrace overlooking the city. Centrally situated in a quiet alley in 2min walk from Metro Square.
Mooi en schoon appartement, ideaal voor 2 personen, wat krap voor 4 personen. Voorzieningen (WIFI, tv, keuken, bed e.d.) zijn goed. Toilet/doucheruimte klein maar wel functioneel. Mooi terras met uitzicht op de stad. Ligt centraal in een rustig steegje op 2 min lopen van plein met metro.
Great apartment, right in "the thick" in Lisbon! We stayed 4 nights here and got us pretty much of central Lisbon. Great city, a journey that tempts to be repeated! Recommended! :)
Flott leilighet, midt i "smørøyet" i Lisboa! Vi overnattet 4 netter her, og fikk med oss ganske mye av Lisboa sentrum. Flott by, en reise som frister å gjentas! Anbefales! :)
Amazing view. Great location. Staff was very friendly.

Great Support ... works like a charm!
By Robbie R

About Me Multiple Dog Owner
I had one of these for my 16 yrs. old Lab and it worked amazingly well. He was having trouble walking because of one of his back legs, when I put this on he was able to take his walks and even trot along a bit. The support is great without being confining. He actually was happy to have it on, which I think indicated how much comfort and mobility it afforded him.

I am interested in running an American Old West RPG/campaign that doesn't rely on fantasy/mystical or sci-fi/steampunk elements. What system do you recommend, and why do you think it captures a more historical Old West appeal, especially when compared with other systems?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

As this is a game-recommendation question, please adhere to the FAQ, the rules for subjective questions as outlined in Good Subjective, Bad Subjective and our rules for game recommendations. All responses must cite actual experience or reference others' experiences!
For some reason a lot of the Western RPGs out there have a lot of mystical junk mixed in, Deadlands being the coolest of the lot. You can always "file off the magic" but if you are looking to use published products without fooling around, you definitely want a Western RPG tuned for that.
I own two of those. The first is Boot Hill, the original Western RPG published by TSR back in the day. It's non-supernatural in origin, and had five adventures published, but it's crufty in that 1970s RPG kind of way and hard to find.
The second and my favorite is Aces & Eights, a currently supported game from Kenzer & Co., the guys who do Hackmaster. In 2009 it took Origins RPG of the Year and the silver Best RPG ENNie. I really like it - it's a 400-page faux leather bound book sporting an in-depth shooting system (uses a transparency "shot clock" overlay, lots of detail).
Besides having a lot of in-depth genre appropriate skills (Telegraph operation), flaws (Fourflusher), and gear (Bottle of Laudanum - 29 cents), it has chapters with rulesets for cattle drives, prospecting, and trials. This is brilliant and makes it a lot better for a Western RPG than "insert generic system here."
It has no supernatural, but it is a slight alternate history. I'm not really even sure why, it's not alternate history in the usual "add Nazis!" sense, just that the Civil War stalemated and some stuff like that.
Useable as written
Aces and Eights:
Western HERO:
GURPS: Old West
Boot Hill:
Readily Converted:
Mercenaries, Spies, and Private Eyes:
A few non-recommends of note:
Dogs in the Vinyard:
To quote from the GM section, "Your job as the GM is to present an interesting social situation and provoke the players into judging it. You don't want to hobble their judgments by arguing with them about what's right and wrong, nor by creating situations where right and wrong are obvious."
There is also a strong supernatural element, that, while removable, is part of the extant rules.
Space 1889:
Castle Falkenstein:
Aces & Eights is a good but rules-heavy RPG that plays the West straight.
Dust Devils is a rules-light RPG that tends towards short-form games, several sessions at most. It uses poker as a mechanic!
Other systems I know of would need the magical bits filed off, e.g., Deadlands.
GURPS has a ton of material for any historical game.
Now, many of those books could be used for a non-GURPS game, as GURPS books so often are. But the system itself is very good for modeling regular people. Some systems are so intent on dealing with heroic feats that you get something like "1 is poor, 2 is average, 3 is excellent, 4 is human maximum". With GURPS, many normal human characters can have a useful stat range from 7 or 8 to 13 or 14.
Going with GURPS gets you a ton of historical material; including events, people, and equipment. It gets you a system where guns are dangerous and well detailed. It gets you a reasonable economy where the price list and value of gold align.
BTW - I love the shot clock and all the minigames from Aces and Eights, but the system itself was clunky IMO. I hardly got through making a character.
I can speak of the quite astonishing combat system of Aces & Eights. The use of a shotclock and the physical positioning of an aiming grid over a target adds a remarkably visceral feel to the game. The combat track with every action taking its own amount of time also makes for a situation where a duel at high-noon is both tension filled and involves more thought than simply rolling for initiative.
While I only own the combat supplement (which I believe can be added to any game for increased realism) I have enjoyed its use in the past. The lists of weapons and details even in this tiny booklet make it a fine product and the entire game should be quite complimentary to your requirements.
I don't have a lot of experience with the western genre, but my group used True20 to good effect once. You might also try d20 Modern with the D20 Past supplement. The key benefit to both of these is that the technology of the era is statted out.
There's always Savage Worlds, too, if only because it's generic and flexible enough to pull it off without too much tweaking.
And of course, FATE could do it no problem. Slight tweaks to Spirit of the Century should be about right.
Maybe out of print but Goldrush games Gunslinger: Wild West Action! is worth checking out.
The system that powers Hollow Earth Expedition is called the Ubiquity System. There is a fan-made Western setting for that rule set called Old West which does a pretty good job of covering the typical Old West tropes.
Whenever I'm unsure which system to use, I use Cortex. It's not targeted at a single genre, and you can add/remove/modify the skills and specialties for the genre you want. For an Old West genre, I think the only changes I would make is replace Pilot with Ride, and remove Tech. It's a fairly easy system to pick up for GMs and players.

PERTH, Australia (AP) -- A warship with an aircraft black box detector is joining the search for the missing Malaysian jetliner, a day after ships plucked objects from the Indian Ocean to determine whether they were related to the missing plane. None were confirmed to be from the plane, leaving searchers with no sign of the jet three weeks after it disappeared.
It could take days for Australia's ADV Ocean Shield to reach the search zone, which shifted northeast Friday to an area roughly the size of Poland. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which oversees the search, says the ship will depart Perth on Sunday for the zone, about 1,150 miles to the west.
The ship is fitted with the U.S. Navy's Towed Pinger Locator and an unmanned underwater vehicle, as well as other acoustic detection equipment.
Also, planes will continue to comb the area for any signs of debris.
Meanwhile, 29 frustrated Chinese family members, seeking answers from Malaysia's government as to what happened to their loved ones, arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. Two-thirds of the 227 passengers aboard Flight 370 were Chinese.
HAVANA (AP) -- Cuban lawmakers have approved a law aimed at making Cuba more attractive to foreign investors.
Meeting in an extraordinary session, parliament replaced a 1995 foreign investment law that has lured less overseas capital than the island's Communist leaders had hoped.
Foreign media were not given access to the closed-door meeting. But some details of the legislation emerged in official media in recent days.
Among other things, it would cut taxes on profits by about half, to 15 percent, and make companies exempt from paying taxes for the first eight years of operation. An exception would affect companies that exploit natural resources, such as nickel or fossil fuels. They could pay taxes as high as 50 percent.
Meanwhile, many foreigners doing business with the island would be exempt from paying personal income tax.
The changes are seen as vital for the island's struggling economy.
Cuba's GDP expanded 2.7 percent last year, below targets and weak for a developing nation. Government officials say the economy needs 5 to 7 percent annual growth to develop properly.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- An Afghan interior ministry official says five militants who attacked the election commission headquarters in Kabul with rocket propelled grenades and machine guns have been killed, ending a four-hour standoff.
Deputy Interior Minister Mohammed Ayub Salangi says two policemen were injured in the attack Saturday. There were no casualties among the dozens of Independent Election Commission staff and other people on the heavily fortified compound.
Salangi said the five insurgents wore the all-encompassing burqua to sneak unnoticed into a building that looked onto the heavily fortified Independent Election Commission headquarters.
It's the latest in a series of high-profile attacks that come as the Islamic militant movement steps up a campaign of violence to disrupt presidential elections due to be held in a week.
Taliban attack closes Afghanistan's main airport
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- The director of the Kabul airport says the runway has been closed because of possible dangers to planes posed by a Taliban attack on the Afghan election commission's headquarters.
Attackers are firing rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns at the Independent Election Commission's main compound, which is on the southern edge of the airport. No casualties have been reported.
Yaqoub Rassouli says authorities tried to reopen the runway after two hours Saturday but decided the risk was too high and closed it again. He says flights on Emirates Airline and Air India have been diverted.
Gunmen attack Pakistani journalist, killing driver
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) -- Police say gunmen on a motorcycle have opened fire on a car carrying a senior journalist in eastern Pakistan, killing his driver before escaping.
Senior police officer Chaudhry Mohammed Shafiq said Saturday that journalist Raza Rumi escaped unhurt in the overnight attack in the eastern city of Lahore.
He says the attack on Rumi, an anchorman at Express News, came as he was leaving the private TV channel's offices.
No one has claimed responsibility, but such threats and attacks against journalists are common in Pakistan, blamed on Islamic militants and armed ethnic factions. Rumi has been critical of Pakistani militant organizations.
The latest attack came days after the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists urged the government to take steps for ensuring journalists' safety.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- In a second ruling against Turkey's ban on Twitter, a Turkish court has overturned an order for the social media network to remove an account that accuses a former minister of corruption.
Turkey last week suspended access to Twitter, which has been a conduit for links to recordings suggesting government corruption. It then blocked access to YouTube following the leak of an audio recording of a government security meeting.
Twitter announced late Friday that a Turkish court had ruled in its favor, calling the decision a "win for freedom of expression." The former minister's lawyer confirmed the ruling on Saturday, adding that it would be appealed.
Last week, another court ordered that access be restored, but Turkish authorities said they have 30 days to implement the order and could appeal.
BEIRUT (AP) -- Lebanon's military says three soldiers were killed when a suicide car bomber targeted a Lebanese army checkpoint near the Syrian border.
The attack near the eastern border town of Arsal came after forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad routed rebels from two Syrian villages lying just across the border.
An extremist Sunni group has claimed responsibility for the bombing. Sunni extremists have accused Lebanon's military of being partial to their rivals, the Shiite group Hezbollah, whose fighters are waging war in Syria alongside Assad's forces.
Report: Syrian army takes 2 villages near Lebanon
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- Syrian state TV says government forces have captured two villages near the border with Lebanon after clashes with opposition fighters.
The TV says the villages of Flita and Ras Maara fell into the hands of government forces Saturday morning.
The villages were the latest targets of a government offensive in the rugged Qalamoun border region after troops captured the town of Yabroud earlier this month.
Tens of thousands of Syrians fled into Lebanon since the Qalamoun offensive began in November.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed troops were advancing in the two villages although it had no immediate word on whether they fell to government forces.
UN official blasts lack of progress on Syria aid
UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The U.N.'s humanitarian aid chief is sharply criticizing the Syrian government's lack of progress in allowing desperately needed aid to people in Syria, calling the regime's delays in withholding cross-border aid deliveries "arbitrary and unjustified."
Valerie Amos briefed the Security Council on Friday, her first such report since the council last month approved a resolution demanding immediate access everywhere in the war-ravaged country to deliver aid.
Council members said they will in the coming days and weeks discuss the "further steps" that the resolution threatens if its requirements are not met.
U.S. U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power called the briefing "harrowing" and said the Syrian government has "utterly failed to comply" with the resolution.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said 3.5 million people are estimated to need aid in hard-to-reach areas.
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraq's oil minister says Russia's Lukoil-led group has begun pumping oil from the massive West Qurna-2 oil field in southern Iraq.
At a Saturday inauguration ceremony, Abdul-Karim Elaibi announced that production had started at 120,000 barrels per day increasing to 400,000 barrels per day by the end of this year.
The 14 billion barrel field is 490 kilometers (305 miles) southeast of Baghdad.
Since 2003, Iraq has awarded dozens of oil and gas deals to international energy companies -- the first major investments in the country's energy industry in more than three decades.
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's state news agency says an Alexandria court has sentenced two supporters of President Mohammed Morsi to death in connection with violence that followed the ouster of the Islamist president.
The agency said the court Saturday found the men guilty of murder for throwing two people off a building in the coastal city during mass protests demanding Morsi's reinstatement.
The incident came two days after Morsi's July 3 ouster. Footage repeatedly aired on national TV showed one of the defendants roaming the roof raising a black flag often used by militants. At least 16 others were killed that day.
Authorities have since intensified a crackdown on Morsi supporters, dispersing protests and detaining thousands. Last week, a court sentenced 529 to death for killing a policeman.
Gaza-Egypt crossing reopened after long closure
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- A Palestinian official says Egypt has reopened its border with the Gaza Strip after weeks of closure.
Hamas' Interior Ministry spokesman, Eyad al-Bozum, says Egyptian authorities opened the Rafah border crossing Saturday after it was closed for 49 days. He says it will remain open for three days and that there are about 6,000 Gazans seeking to cross into Egypt, including patients, students and people whose residence visas are close to expiring.
Egypt has only sporadically opened the crossing for select humanitarian cases since the ouster of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi last July.
The Egyptian military has imposed tough border restrictions on Gaza's Hamas rulers, who have close ties to its rival Muslim Brotherhood, including sealing smuggling tunnels and blocking passenger traffic.
ROME (AP) -- Italian finance police say a suspected plot to swindle the Vatican bank was foiled after Vatican guards became suspicious of two foreigners who tried to enter the bank with a briefcase filled with false financial certificates.
The Finance Guard official leading the Italian probe was not available early Sunday for details. But the police operations center confirmed a report Saturday night by the Italian news agency ANSA that a Dutchman and a U.S. man were stopped after they tried to convince Vatican security officers they had business at the bank, which is not open to the general public. Police wouldn't say when the incident occurred. ANSA said the pair aimed to fraudulently obtain lines of credit.
A 2010 money-laundering probe by Rome prosecutors sparked tightened scrutiny at the scandal-dogged bank.
Man in Italy gets 20 years in acid attack on woman
ROME (AP) -- An Italian lawyer has been convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for ordering an acid attack on his ex-girlfriend, who became a symbol in the fight against men's violence toward women.
The acid burned and disfigured the face of Lucia Annibali, also a lawyer. Luca Varani was convicted Saturday by a court in Pesaro of masterminding the 2013 attack. Two Albanian men were convicted of throwing the acid and each received a 14-year term. Varani denied ordering an acid attack on Annibali.
The woman, who has had several facial surgeries, told reporters, "I didn't set out to be a symbol." Three weeks ago, Italy's president honored her for courage and determination in pursuing justice and inspiring women in Italy to rebel against male violence.
Philippine supply ship evades Chinese blockade
SECOND THOMAS SHOAL (AP) -- A Philippine government ship has slipped past a Chinese coast guard blockade and brought food and fresh troops to a marooned navy ship used as a base by Filipino troops to bolster the country's territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea
The incident Saturday was witnessed by journalists who were invited by the Philippines military to accompany the resupply mission.
Around one hour away from Second Thomas Shoal, a Chinese coast guard ship twice crossed the bow of the smaller Philippine vessel in an attempt to stop it from proceeding. It radioed the Filipinos, telling them to stop entering Chinese territory.
But the Filipino captain maneuvered to shallow waters where the Chinese ship couldn't sail to reach the marooned vessel.
Early this month, Chinese vessels blocked a resupply mission.
BEIJING (AP) -- Japan and North Korea have started high-level government talks in Beijing for the first time in more than a year.
A major issue for Japan during the two-day talks is the fate of at least a dozen Japanese people who it says were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s.
Japan and North Korea do not have diplomatic relations. They held talks in 2012 during a brief warming of relations, but those ended after North Korea launched a rocket in December of that year.
The two countries agreed to resume the talks after an informal gathering earlier this month between Japanese and North Korean foreign ministry officials in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang.
Worker dies at stadium hosting World Cup opener
SAO PAULO (AP) -- A hospital says a worker has died after falling at the construction site of the stadium that will host Brazil's World Cup opener in Sao Paulo.
The press office of the Hospital Santa Marcelina in Sao Paulo confirms the death.
Construction company Fast Engenharia said in a statement Fabio Hamilton da Cruz fell about 26 feet (8 meters) while helping install temporary seats at the Itaquerao stadium.
The accident comes about four months after two workers died when a crane collapsed at the stadium.
Construction was already behind schedule because of the damage caused by the earlier accident. FIFA said it was expecting the venue to be finished in mid-May, about a month before the June 12 opener, but it wasn't clear if Saturday's incident would prompt further delays.

The Dome of the Rock is right beside Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Israel.
Is it considered a sacred place in Christianity? If so, in what way?
The Dome of the Rock is right beside Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Israel.
Is it considered a sacred place in Christianity? If so, in what way?
From Wikipedia:
Christianity,of course, has its roots in Judaism, and as the site of the original Jewish Temple, it would have historical significance, as well as being recognized as a Holy site, reserved for Israel, God's chosen people.
Also, according to some of the end-time scenarios, the Antichrist will make some deal that will allow the temple to be rebuilt, and this will mark the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
The Dome on the Rock itself is not significant to Christianity or Judaism, other than that it's a shrine to another god, from another religion, that exists on the property where the temple should be.
I'd say that the site itself is important but the Dome of Rock is not. This site is believed to be the place where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. But this is only a Jewish tradition and hence not all Christians would agree with its importance.
The Dome contains the following inscription (also from Wikipedia) -
This of course would not be well received by most Christians. So I don't think that the Dome is important to Christianity.
In addition to it's location as the site of the original Temple, and the place where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac, the Dome of the Rock does still play in Christianity today.
First of all, the Crusaders thought it was Solomon's Temple, so they let it stand.
More importantly today, however, many evangelicals see the Dome of the Rock in End Times prophecy. Many dispensationalists believe that in order for Jesus to return, the Temple must be rebuilt. Because the Dome of the Rock is where the Temple was, many Evangelicals believe that the Dome of the Rock must be destroyed in order to usher in the End of Days. (No, no Mehdi here, we don't believe it should be destroyed, just that it will.)
This particular understanding has led to many attacks on the Dome of the Rock over the years, leading psychologists to coin an ideas called Jerusalem Syndrome in which self-appointed Messiahs will sometimes take it upon themselves to be this agent of the End Times coming.

Those are a few examples off the top of my head. Shall we now censor and ban Shakespeare, Marlow, Pasolini, Euripides, MacMillan, Ibsen? At the very least let's keep our children away from these dangerous, sick so-called artists. But there's no fear of that, they'd rather be watching Hannah Montana & High School Musical.
This one point is, I think, still seriously off. Because many of the adults who take their children to Disney World continue to go there afterward BY THEMSELVES, because they LOVE it. Most of the people I know who watch American Idol and the other TV trash are adults, even though I know the teens watch them. But it's a whole culture of people of all ages who are now consuming the same silly stuff. I do not think you have a point that 'they'd rather be watching Hannah Montana & High School Personal', because it's just most people are all doing that. Maybe more young people, it seems to me that everybody is going for these bimbo things, not just the kids. So there are going to be some Enquiring Minds among the kids too.
I guess what I am saying is that you just have to be pro-censorship or anti-censorship, but people have usually made up their minds hard on these matters and are not going to change just because one is 'rational' (I mean I think you are being, but so what.) So the fact is that children either have to be at risk for these things or not. One decides which is the greater risk, that children might find their way to the 'naughty things' (I did) and these 'ruined their lives' (some would say mine was, others would say the contribution had been invaluable), or whether censorship is the greater risk. I certainly agree that the latter is far worse, but then I'm talking of my own interests. And they're talking about theirs; so it really becomes more ideological and political than intellectual/rational at a certain point. What I'm saying is it's, ultimately, not a matter of the rational always being the most powerful, although it is, as with everything else, to a certain degree 'the reason of the stronger is always right' (not morally, but just de facto, as long as something prevails, it can be virtuous or wicked). It is like trying to argue rationally for legalization of drugs or differences of opinion on abortion, religion, etc., it's not only not possible to fully succeed in it, it's also true that the more reactionary side does have at least some points. The only one that seems to me to be valid is that, yes, there will be some young people who find their ways to literally anything, including challenging difficult works. So that what seems 'rational' to us (and probably is, at least we are quite convinced it is) doesn't matter to those who oppose it, there are limits on how convincing the rational argument can be.
Another point to make from the other side while not supporting them, is that while I think it entirely wrong to censor and block the de Frutos piece because of its lewdness or whatever, I also don't think it's that serious. Naturally, there would be some backlash from the radio personality (Ross?) you told us about; but that is natural given that things are already so unleashed the bared, and this nakedness itself (however much the backlash), already proved that 'anything really does go', not the other way around. And it's the very prevalence of all the filth you've cited that proves that: With all that there, it's not really very likely that serious censorship of old regimes will ever take hold again. As for 'perverts' in Victorian times and 'hypocrisy', oh well, sure, but there are all sorts of periods in which the emphasis goes back and forth. But we're not now in an Age of Censorship in any serious way.

No. 101 - State Greenhouse Gas Programs: An Economic and Scientific Analysis (ppt)
February 1, 2003
Download PowerPoint presentation
The real goal of environmental activists calling for greenhouse gas programs is to reduce emission to at least 7 percent below 1990 levels, the Kyoto Protocol goal. Instead of attempting to reduce emissions, states should focus on voluntary programs, repeal laws that discourage energy conservation, and encourage sequestration and adaptation to climate change.

Let $S_k(n)$, for $k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$, be defined as follows
$$S_k(n) = \sum_{i=1}^n \ i^k$$
For fixed (small) $k$, you can determine a nice formula in terms of $n$ for this, which you can then prove using e.g. induction. For small $k$ we for example get
$$\begin{align} S_0(n) &= n\\ S_1(n) &= \frac{1}{2}n^2 + \frac{1}{2}n \\ S_2(n) &= \frac{1}{3}n^3 + \frac{1}{2}n^2 + \frac{1}{6}n \\ S_3(n) &= \frac{1}{4}n^4 + \frac{1}{2}n^3 + \frac{1}{4}n^2 \\ S_4(n) &= \frac{1}{5}n^5 + \frac{1}{2}n^4 + \frac{1}{3}n^3 - \frac{1}{30}n \end{align}$$
The coefficients of these polynomials are related to the Bernoulli-numbers, and getting arbitrary coefficients in these polynomials (i.e. the coefficient of $n^m$ in $S_k(n)$ for large $k,m$) is not so easy. However, th first two coefficients follow a simple pattern: the coefficient of $n^{k+1}$ is $\frac{1}{k+1}$ and the coefficient of $n^k$ (for $k > 0$) is always $\frac{1}{2}$. My main question now is:
How can we prove that $S_k(n) = \frac{1}{k+1}n^{k+1} + \frac{1}{2}n^k + O(n^{k-1})$ for $k > 0$?
The first coefficient can be explained intuitively, as
$$S_k(n) = \sum_{i=1}^n \ i^k \approx \int_{i=1}^n i^k di \approx \frac{n^{k+1}}{k+1}$$
Maybe you could make this more rigorous, but I don't see how you will get the term $\frac{1}{2}n^k$ with this.
Also, while the coefficient of $n^{k+1}$ can be explained intuitively, it's not clear to me why the coefficient of $n^k$ is $\frac{1}{2}$, and why this one is fixed while e.g. the coefficient of $n^{k-1}$ is different for different $k$. If someone could explain that, that would be appreciated as well.

I'm currently working on a project that's about to reach over 5,000 lines of code, but I never really completely thought out the design. What methods should I use to structure and organize my code? Paper and pen? UML diagrams? Something else?

migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 14 '11 at 3:33
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You probably get about as many different views as there will be answers. But here is my perspective.
For starters, 5000+ lines of code is very very small project. Now, how do you go about designing projects that grow. Firstly, you design your system and not a code. Code is actually secondary to the architecture. Start with supporting minimum current requirements. Put some simplistic drawing of components involved. I personally like UML, but anything visual will be good. Ideally, you want to adhere to good design practices here (interfaces, separation of concerns etc).
Once you support minimal requirements in your design, code it. Again, try to adhere to good coding practices.
After that, iteratively add more functionality as new requirements arise. Ideally you want to update your design as well.
What is important, based on my experience, is not to design your system in anticipation of non existing requirements. Otherwise your project will grow very quickly and will get very complex in a short time. Again - adhere to good practices and starts with concrete current requirements.
Flow Diagram, Class Diagram, Use Case Diagram are the must-have diagrams for big projects. Search and select which external libraries you need, and search for any similar open source codes you can use ( to learn & to reduce the time of development ).
I suggest you to buy a whiteboard & some colorful magnets & Post-It. It will help you identifying your tasks.
p.s. 5000+ lines of codes are not "big", though. A CMS / Forum software has way more than 5000+ lines of codes.
I would create package and class diagrams. In the package diagram I would be interested to group classes and interfaces in a logical manner. I would also like to create inner packages etc...
But first you need to think what the program should do . You can create usecase diagrams or do it manually. I do it manually with the class diagram because I prefer to get the code immediately and it is easier to swap to package class diagrams later. Using the class diagram gives me my java. If I don't like it then I manually change it. The new code is automatically updated into my diagrams. I have a visual high level updated representation of my code. Really helpful because even if I code I can always take few minutes to look at the way my project is going in a graphical manner. I just drag and drop entities in the right package manually in order to organize it. I think that my code is better using higher level of abstraction package and class diagrams.
some of my colleagues said my way of working is crap.... but I like it :-)
Definitely. I have a small "tablet" dry-erase board to use for this sort of thing, but use whatever you're comfortable with. The important thing is that you can get your thoughts down easily and see the big picture of how everything fits together.
Some people prefer more formal plans, like UML diagrams, but I feel that it's too easy to get caught up micromanaging what each method should look like. Once again, though, use whatever you're comfortable with.
EDIT: You might also be interested in literate programming. The idea is that you can plan it all out and gradually get more specific. For example, you might say that your program consists of:
Then you might refine your idea of converting the text into an image. So that might look like:
Then you might refine the idea of picking random colors, and soon you're just writing regular code.
For me, the activity of software development is a series of progressively finer-grained designs to solve a particular problem. When you just have a high-level idea of what you are building, your design might be something very high level, like "there will be a web application that talks to a SQL database and multiple web services" or something like that. Then, as you drill into the details of each piece you get finer-grained in the design. Depending on the complexity of the solution there will be more or fewer iterations of the design effort. The final iteration involves creating the actual code that implements the higher levels of the design.
For me, the difference between architecture and design is minimal, and they are just different iterations of the process I describe above. The line between the two is fuzzy, and different for different people.
There is an art to deciding what level of design detail to go into, for which parts of the application, and at which points in the project lifecycle. For high risk, high complexity projects you may want to have a very detailed design before you ever write a line of code. For smaller projects, you can get away with doing very little up front design and just banging out some code and then seeing what doesn't work and redesigning those areas. There's not just one write answer here. Usually it is somewhere in between those two extremes.
I have a blog post that talks about some of the principles I use when approaching architecture. It might be helpful to you when thinking along these lines. Some of the article is specific to .NET but most of it isn't.
I used to ask myself the very same question. Now I just practice test-driven development, and don't worry about it. I don't "plan out" the code at all, except to follow the standards for the chosen architecture. When I start a project, I do have some idea of what is going to be needed, but as development proceeds I try to keep an open mind. By following test-driven development, and continuously refactoring the code, I don't have to "plan out" the code. I just satisfy one test case after another, and the design emerges from the refactoring. This is always a better design than any plans I could have made before coding.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Senior Chris Braswell was anything but shy in his first game of the season as he notched a double-double to lead Charlotte (2-0) to a 66-53 win over Georgia Southern (0-2), Tuesday evening at Halton Arena.
"It was good to get a win at home," Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "We had good balance with scoring and rebounding tonight. Tonight's win was a total team effort."
Braswell's 21 points and 12 rebounds were a game-high and his 23rd career double-double. He was active on all parts of the court, shooting 7-for-12 from the field, and a perfect 6-for-6 from the line. After a few nervous possessions in the first half, Braswell swiftly found his comfort zone and never looked back, scoring 16 points and grabbing eight boards.
Charlotte also placed Pierria Henry in double figures in scoring. Henry finished with 13 points notching his second consecutive game scoring in double figures. Henry also grabbed six rebounds and tallied three assists.
Freshman Willie Clayton also added eight points and nine rebounds followed by E. Victor Nickerson with seven points.
Charlotte's defense prevailed in the second half as it held the Eagles to only two points over the first nine minutes of the half. Jessie Pernell scored GSU's first basket of the second half to chip at Charlotte's 44-36 lead with 14:14 left.
That wouldn't be enough for the Eagles as Charlotte continued to dominate the half. The 49ers limited Georgia Southern to just 19 points in the second half. The Niners beat the Eagles on the glass 40-19 and in points in the paint 34-20.
Braswell paced the Niners to 37-34 lead at the half. Charlotte got off to a quick 5-0 advantage in the opening minutes. Braswell came off the bench to score nine straight points to give Charlotte the 18-13 lead with 9:50 left. The 49ers took a 20-13 advantage, it's largest of the half, with 9:28 remaining. The Eagles responded to the Niners' attack and used a 4-0 run to tie the game 20-20 at the 7:47 mark.
Georgia Southern found its grove and controlled the following minutes to take a 31-26 advantage with under four minutes in the half. Henry's trip to the charity stripe at 3:33 sparked a 9-0 run to give the 49ers the 35-31 lead with 1:27 left.
Georgia Southern placed three players in double figures in scoring. Eric Ferguson and Cleon Roberts led the Eagles in scoring with 11. Ferguson also grabbed ten rebounds to record a double-double. Tre Bussey tallied ten points in the loss.
Charlotte will host Lamar on Saturday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Halton Arena.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Close readers of this weekly interview column will realize that I have interviewed Roger Langridge a couple of times. And I never tire of chatting with Langridge about his storytelling approach. Next Wednesday, November 2, marks the release of the second issue for his Kaboom! creator-owned Snarked series. The series has been building its audience, first through the $1 #0 issue,and then Snarked 1 sold out of its first printing–warranting a second printing. In addition to discussing Snarked, we also got a chance to discuss his recently released The Show Must Go On (BOOM! Studios) as well as his writing the Marvel five-issue limited series, John Carter: A Princess of Mars. If you want evidence why I love interviewing Langridge, the man revealed a slight connection between his work and musician Robyn Hitchcock's The Soft Boys. After reading the interview, please chime in with which current Langridge projects you're enjoying the most.
Tim O'Shea: What was the most enjoyable aspect, in the run-up to Snarked's premiere, of building up the potential reading audience through the Snarked website (Snark Island)?
Roger Langridge: Partly just to see if I could do it, and to try to be creative about what could be done with it. I'm planning to continue putting content up on the site each time a new issue comes out, so it'll be a constant, evolving thing – but mainly, I wanted to do a letters page, and having somewhere to direct people so they could e-mail us was essential. It helps if there's some other stuff to look at when they visit, of course!

Hall and Blackburn made important contributions in the study of regular $p$-groups and $p$-groups of maximal class. From their work, one can understand that in the classification of groups of order $p^n$, we must have to make two main cases: $p\leq n$, and $p>n$. With this interest, I am searching more and more material to study small $p$-groups, and their classification. The books I referred are that of Berkovich (Groups of prime power order) and of Leedham-Green, McKay (Structure of groups of prime power order).
Beside these two main references, can one suggest other books/notes which contains study of $p$-groups of maximal class and regular $p$-groups?
(The book of Berkovich mentions one book in bibliography, that of A. Mann-Finite $p$-groups; but I couldn't find this book. Is this book or notes published?)

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama kiss as they dance during the Commander-In-Chief inaugural ball at the Washington Convention Center during the 57th Presidential Inauguration on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013 in Washington. / AP Photo/ Evan Vucci
(CBS News) First lady Michelle Obama made it a fashion tradition Monday night, wearing a custom-made Jason Wu gown to the inauguration balls.
The ruby-colored chiffon and velvet dress was a follow-up to the white gown Wu made for her four years ago when she was new to Washington, the pomp and circumstance, and the fashion press.
She paired the dress with a handmade diamond embellished ring by jewelry designer Kimberly McDonald, and shoes designed by Jimmy Choo. At the end of the inaugural festivities, the first lady's outfit and accompanying accessories will go to the National Archives.
"I can't believe it. It's crazy," said Wu, reached at his Manhattan studio. "To have done it once was already the experience of my life. To have a second time is tremendous."
President Barack Obama also struck a similar style chord to his first-term inaugural balls: He wore a white tie with his tuxedo.
The red halter dress was the only one Wu, who went from fashion insider to household name on this night in 2009, submitted for Mrs. Obama's consideration. He collaborated with McDonald on the jeweled neckline. "For this occasion, it had to be real diamonds," Wu said.
He said he felt the dress showed how he has grown up as a designer -- and how Mrs. Obama's style has evolved to be even more confident.
President Barack Obama called his wife to the stage, referring to her as "my better half -- and my dance partner," before the two danced as Jennifer Hudson sang a live rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."
"She makes me a better man and a better president," Mr. Obama said of the first lady. "I'm lucky to have her."
Earlier in the day, Mrs. Obama wore a navy-silk, checkered-pattered coat and matching dress by designer Thom Browne.
An expected 40,000 people crammed into the Washington Convention Center for Monday evening for the two official inaugural balls, which promised plenty of star power in the entertainment lineup.
Alicia Keys wearing a flowing red gown, planted herself before a piano and dished up reworked lyrics to "Girl on Fire," declaring, "Obama's on fire." Brad Paisley, too, revised his lyrics to fit the occasion, and began by thanking the troops "for keeping us safe."
Others expected: Chris Cornell, Jamie Foxx, Mana and Marc Anthony.

Syracuse Orange Basketball 2015-2016 News and Updates
2014-2015 Season
2/27/15 - Even though the Orangemen are banned from the postseason due this year, there is still much to play for in the remaining games of the season. Last night's 65-60 upset of ninth ranked Notre Dame showed what this talented team is capable of. With Coach Jim Boeheim's trademark zone defense, the Orangemen locked down the Irish, holding them to 3 for 22 from deep for a frigid 13% clip. Trevor Kooney carried his team in the second half with 11 points and a pair of baskets that put the game away late. Make sure that you don't miss your last opportunity to see Syracuse Orange Basketball this season by securing tickets to the season finale, March 2nd against the Virginia Cavaliers at the Carrier Dome. Razorgator has tickets starting at just $19.

2/18/15 - Having lost four out of their last six contests, the Orangemen are in a bit of a slump as they head down the stretch of their ACC conference schedule. They seem undoubtedly affected by the school's recent self-imposed sanctions on postseason play. In their most recent loss to the fourth ranked Duke Blue Devils, the Orangemen played competitively, but just couldn't finish. Though there isn't a postseason to play for anymore, the Orangemen can still finish their season on a strong note while the school awaits possible further NCAA sanctions for past recruiting violations. Come out to the Carrier Dome to catch the final three home games of the season, starting with tonight's contest against the #12 Louisville Cardinals. With tickets available starting at just $8, Razorgator is your ticket to Syracuse Orange Basketball.
2/12/15 - One of the most exciting teams in terms of offense is the Syracuse Orange. They have always been competitive for years, but they are trying to go all the way this time around. They are riding high off a great win over Boston College tonight. The final score ended up being 70-56, and it was a blowout from the very start. In their sterling performance, Michael Gbinije went on to score 21 points with 7 rebounds. He was an unstoppable force for the Orange, and this bodes well because he is taking on that leadership role that many that he could handle very early in the season. Their next game is against Duke, who are the 4th ranked team in the nation. Tickets are available now for $41.
2/4/15 - The Syracuse Orange basketball team had a devastating 86-93 loss against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday, January 26. Syracuse thought they had the game in hand, with a 56-50 lead with only 13 minutes left in the game. Trevor Cooney hit the boards strong for the Orange, with a season high of 28 points, and Rakeem Christmas helped out with 22 points and 12 rebounds. The team's patented 2-3 zone also performed well for most of the game; however, North Carolina's Marcus Paige, Nate Britt, and Kennedy Meeks reversed the momentum late in the game with an 18-6 run to bring the Tar Heels to victory. The Orange next face Virginia Tech on Tuesday Feb. 3, and then have another game against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Saturday, Feb. 7. Tickets to the Pittsburgh game remain on sale, starting at $11.
1/27/15 - Sporting a record of 14-6, the Syracuse Orange are the 4th ranked team in the Atlantic Coast Division. Their last game, which took place on Saturday, didn't quite go according to plan. They ended up losing to Miami 66-62. It was a hard-fought game for four quarters, but they simply couldn't score when it mattered the most. In their loss, Tyler Robinson had a great game, scoring 10 points with 14 rebounds. He had a lot of second chance points, but his efforts were not enough to stop the streaky Miami team. Up next for them is a competitive game against the 13th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels. It should be a fun game for the fans, and tickets can be bought right now for $24.
1/22/15 - Last week the Syracuse Orange basketball team was up to seven wins in a row. Things were looking up as the team got up to 13-4. Unfortunately, their streak was brought to an end when they took on the Clemson Tigers on Jan. 17. The Orange had a miserable start, trailing by more than 20 points by the half. They played much better after that point, but it simply was not enough to turn it around. With a final score of 53-66, Syracuse got their fifth loss for the season. More recently, they blew away the Boston College Eagles in a game that had almost exactly the opposite scores as their previous game. As they travel to take on the Miami Hurricanes, they can only hope they are starting a new streak.
1/12/15 -The Syracuse Orange basketball team is back from their close call last game to blow away their opponents again. This time, the Florida State Seminoles didn't stand a chance, already trailing by 13 at the half. With a final score of 57-70, the Orange has now won six games in a row and has a record of 12-4. Unfortunately, Syracuse didn't make it out of the game unscathed. Only eight minutes into the game, Chris McCullough, a key player for the Orange, came down awkwardly on his ankle and fell to the court in pain. It wasn't clear at the time, but Syracuse now realizes that he will miss the rest of the season. Many are still optimistic about his draft power for next year, however. You will have to watch closely to see how his team fairs without him when they play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Jan. 13th.
1/9/15 - The Syracuse Orange basketball team went up against the Geogia Tech Yellow Jackets and was able to pull off a victory by the skin of their teeth. After a tense first half, where the Orange earned a tiny one-point lead with 28-27, both teams scored the same amount of points in the second. This means that Syracuse barely held onto their lead and won by a single point. In fact, Rakeem Christmasscored two free throws with 12 seconds remaining to get the lead back, and they only held it becausethe Yellow Jackets missed a three pointer at the buzzer. With a final score of 46-45, the Orange now has a five-game winning streak and has 11-4 for the season. Tickets are $11 for the next game against Florida State on Jan. 13th.
1/2/15 - The Syracuse Orange basketball team blew away their competition when they took on the Long Beach State 49ers on Sunday. After scoring more in each half, first by four and then by 14, the game ended with the Orange ahead 67-85. Michael Gbinije and Rakeem Christmas tied for the lead on their team with 24 points each and the Orange made 58% of their shots. All in all, Syracuse played an excellent game. Now that they are at 8-4, they are looking ahead as they prepare to take on the Cornell Big Red (6-6) on New Year's Day. Tickets for that game start at $32 and then the Orange will have a few away games. They will return on January 11th to play Florida State.
12/26/14 - The Syracuse Orange basketball team had no troubles when they took on the Colgate Raiders on Monday. After scoring 30 more points than their opponents in the first half, Syracuse finished strong for a final score of 43-78. Trevor Cooney led his team with 20 scored points and Rakeem Christmas followed with 16 points and 11 rebounds. This overwhelming victory brings the Syracuse Orange to 7-4, which is an excellent record. They were handed the majority of their losses in the last couple games, so it is good for them to be turning it around. They will be taking on the Long Beach State 49ers (5-8) on the 28th where they will be looking to start a winning streak. Tickets are available starting at $22.
12/19/14 - Christmas came early for Syracuse Orange basketball fans on Sunday, as the home team defeated Louisiana Tech 71-69. Following a pair of tough home losses, the Orangemen got back on track versus the Bulldogs in dramatic fashion, as senior Rakeem Christmas sank a short hook shot in the lane with just 2.2 seconds left on the clock, lifting his team to victory and a 6-3 record for the season. Trevor Cooney led all scorers with 25 points, and sophomore Tyler Roberson added 14 points and 17 rebounds for the Orange in the winning effort. Syracuse will have to play well to earn their first road victory of the season, as they visit #7 Villanova at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday afternoon. Get in the game with Razorgator—great seats are available starting at just $18.
12/12/14 - Syracuse Orange basketball coach, Jim Boeheim, did not play man to man in last Saturday's game to St. John. Over the course of his 39-year tenure at Syracuse, the coach rarely made changes to his starting lineup, unless facilitated by a suspension or injury. In the team's loss to St. John, Boeheim altered the lineup by taking out B.J. Johnson and putting in Michael Gbinije. Having been a starter in the three previous games, it was a shock to see Johnson taken out. It will be interesting to see if the coach keeps the new starting lineup, or changes it back. The change did not immediately help the team, who lost to St. John 69-57. The coach and team have high hopes in getting back on track at their next game, beginning at 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. Be sure to snag your tickets now for as low as $3.
12/5/14 - The Syracuse Orange basketball men's team played a tough match against a strong opponent Tuesday night. The team faced the number 17 Michigan Wolverines on the road, rallying in the last few minutes and taking the game down to the wire. After missing two three point shots in the first half, Trevor Cooney pulled through in the second half and went 4-for-7, helping the team make up a 10 point deficit. They finished the game down a mere three points, with a final score of 65-68. This gives them a 5-2 overall record so far for the season. They will play against St. Johns University on Saturday, December 6th. Tickets for upcoming home games, held at the Carrier Dome, are available on Razorgator for as little as $3.
11/25/14 - The 2014-2015 college basketball season is already underway, and legendary coach Jim Boeheim and his #23 Orangemen are ready to begin their quest for another national championship. With upcoming non-conference home games against quality opponents such as the St. John's Red Storm and the Long Beach State 49ers, there is no better time than now to come out to the Carrier Dome to cheer on the Orange. After the nonconference schedule, the action gets even better, with visits from marquee conference rivals #4 Duke and #7 Louisville. Watch senior forward Rakeem Christmas and talented freshman Chris McCullough lead Syracuse to another NCAA tournament berth and ACC title by getting your tickets at Razorgator. With tickets starting at just $1, Razorgator is your place to get the very best seats and prices for Syracuse Orange Basketball tickets this college basketball season.
11/21/14 - It's proving to be another exciting year for Syracuse Orange basketball. With a 2-0 record, the Orange have been domineering other teams both offensively and defensively. Their 65-47 Sunday win over the Hampton University Pirates showcased the diversity of its players to lead the team on both ends of the court. Senior Rakeem Christmas finished the game with 15 points and a career-high 16 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. The matchup against the Pirates was part of the 2K Classic Benefitting the Wounded Warriors Project. Next up in the tournament, the Orange face the University of California Bears on Thursday before heading back to the Carrier Dome to resume their regular season. Tickets for their next home-game matchup against the Loyola University Greyhounds on November 25 are still available, and range from $1 to $472.
11/14/14 - The Syracuse Orange basketball team is about to head into their season opener against Kennesaw State on Friday, November 14th. Syracuse has a lot to live up to after last season, which saw 25 wins in a row at the outset and finished with a final record of 28-6. The team is looking to Rakeem Christmas and Trevor Cooney to lead them and adding underclassmen Kaleb Joseph, Chris McCullough, and Tyler Roberson to the starting lineup. Kennesaw State has a leg up just coming off of a summer tour in Italy where they won three of their four games. Tickets are still available for the opening game starting at $1, as well as the Orange's November 16th game against the Hampton Pirates, also starting at $1.
2013-2014 Season
2/7/14 – A record crowd (35,446) was at the Carrier Dome Saturday as longtime powers now No. 1 Syracuse took on then No. 17 Duke in what turned out to one of the best College Basketball games in recent memory and a preview of what is to come in the
ACC Tournament
come March. 'Cuse came out on top 91-89, setting a school record for consecutive wins to start a season. Orange's C.J. Fair scored a career-best 28 points to help Syracuse remain undefeated (21-0, 9-0 ACC). The Syracuse Orange conference schedule will not lighten as they close the regular season; of the ACC teams challenging Cuse for the top spot, the Orange have the toughest competition remaining this season. Still having to play
, Virginia, and Pittsburgh on the road, the top dogs will need their fans support! Syracuse Orange tickets are relatively cheap; averaging $67 for remaining home games, Orange tickets are just 29th in price among NCAA teams!
1/2/14 - Fear the Orange! After rallying from a huge 18-point deficit early in the game, the Syracuse Orange pulled of an incredible victory over previously unbeaten Villanova to keep their record perfect this past Saturday. True freshman Tyler Ennis has been a shining point guard for the team, while Trevor Cooney has been integral in their massive scoring runs with his reliable 3-point shots. Just second to the Arizona Wildcats on top of the AP Poll, the Orange have alerted every other team: no lead is safe when you're playing against Cuse! First up is their first conference game of the year against the Miami Hurricanes for a mere $38. Later, Syracuse's big game against Duke commences on February 1 at the Carrier Dome: tickets are just $65 to get-in for this huge ACC rivalry match!
9/17/13 - In the last quad, the Syracuse Orange men's basketball program has been to the Final Four, Elite 8, and Sweet 16. Led by Coach Him Boeheim, who boasts the second-most wins in men's NCAA D1, the Cuse enter the 2013 season at No. 8. The former Big East members will now play as part of the Atlantic Coast Conference alongside rivals
North Carolina
. Syracuse's move from the Big East to the ACC has currently put an end to the Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry; but, fear not, plans are in the works to make sure that the heated rivalry game is on all future Syracuse Orange schedules.
The Orange regular season schedule this year includes nine ACC games, six of which will be played on a Saturday. Defending ACC Champs
Miami Hurricanes
will come to New York on Jan. 4 for Syracuse's ACC home opener. Syracuse vs. Miami tickets get-in price is $45. To compare, Syracuse vs. UNC tickets begin at $120 for the matchup one week later and Syracuse vs. Duke tickets at the Carrier Dome start at $199. Syracuse's non-conference opponents include storied programs
at home.
The ACC newcomers were preseason No. 9 last season; Syracuse Orange tickets averaged $73 at the time and were 15th most expensive in the NCAA. Expect forward C.J. Fair to be among the top players not just on the Syracuse roster but also in the Conference in 2013. Freshman and top recruit Tyler Ennis has the talent to also help the Orange compete for an ACC title in their inaugural season.

I'm trying to create a character. I've already worked out some of my character. My character is, at the moment, superstitious with that being pretty much the only personality trait. It has glamours and can change shape. I'm also not planning on following a template. I was hoping to have my character get magic through exposure, I guess, but I'm not quite sure how a character is exposed to magic in a way that would cause the character to be magical. How is a character exposed to magic?

A lot is going to depend on what you mean by 'get magic'. A lot of it is going to depend on your GM, so that would be a good first place to start, i.e. talking with him about what you're trying to do. Moving on to the character, there are two sides to this, but after the comment above, I'll start with systematically.
In DFRPG, you have to justify supernatural powers with, at the least, an appropriate High Concept (see
The larger issue (and the reason I stated that you should talk to the GM) is the in-game rationale, especially if you're planning to do this during play. It is going to depend a lot on your GM's interpretation, as such an event isn't really covered in the books as written. Find out before you get too deep into the concept what your GM will allow, as that's going to be the framework for if this is possible, and under what circumstances it would be possible.
In a game as abstract as FATE, you're actually facilitated fairly well as to how these sorts of things may happen. If you can feed a pretense into the plot device, and your GM is okay with the change, the rest become plot bait and you crank the device. Popular examples involve rare (nay unheard of) rituals good for just one more use, untapped latent power, finding a place of power, finding a being willing to "Sponsor" you and have the actual magic develop on its own over IC time, and my personal favorite: the body swap where the minds change but not the powers.
Your patience is entirely critical, because most of the time you won't just simply become a full blown Wizard overnight. You may have to do some fledgeling work, then Sorcerer, Conjurer, and finally get chest deep. A sudden change requires a mega burst of DM Magic and heads turning the other way even in the buttery soft sci-fi world that is Dresden.
Aside from Game Rules as Written (which would pretty much state that if you have the Refresh to spend you can gain the power) from a Dresdenverse Standpoint, the PC will need to be able to first sense magic and it's effects (usually granted by The Sight) and then have the metaphysical power to power a spell (have the Conviction skill at a level of at least +1 or higher).
Think of The Sight as the sense that lets you perceive magic. Asking a Blind person to pick up a gun and shoot at a sight orientated target is a pretty tall order. —Sure, a blind person might be able to fire a gun at a target and hit it, but it's highly unlikely and has a high likelihood of failure. The same is true for Magic, without a sense to guide its use the success rate is terribly low. The extra caveat with Magic being the more failures you have with attempting to use it, results in self doubt about your ability to continue to call up power. Each failure resulting in less and less power to channel until you don't have the self belief (conviction) to cast the spell.
