Technip and ExxonMobil Chemical were awarded a contract
by Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical to provide proprietary
technology for a 384,000 tpy grassroots cumene plant as part of
the Rabigh phase two project in Saudi Arabia, the
companies said on Wednesday.
The contract includes technology license, engineering,
training and start-up services for the cumene plant, which is
due to start-up in 2016.
Technip and ExxonMobil Chemical won the contract through
their Badger Licensing venture. Badger Licensing is principally
engaged in marketing, licensing and developing technologies for
ethylbenzene, styrene monomer, cumene and bisphenol A.
"Rabigh Phase II is an impressive project in the growing petrochemical industry in the Middle
East, said Mark Healey, president of Badger.
"I believe Badgers proven cumene technology will enable the Rabigh
Phase II Project to achieve a low cost of
ownership by leveraging long catalyst cycles and high
operational reliability," he added.
Cumene is a precursor to the production of phenol and
subsequently bisphenol and polycarbonate. Nearly 10
million tpy of cumene capacity has been licensed by Badger and
its predecessor companies since the technology was introduced in

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work.

Los Angeles Lakers Tickets
There's plenty to see in L.A., but nothing quite like taking in a game at Staples Center. The 2015-16 Los Angeles Lakers season is shaping up to be an intriguing one, as the storied franchise seeks to bounce back from one of the toughest years in recent memory. Living legend Kobe Bryant is playing the final season of his illustrious career, and the notoriously-competitive shooting guard will surely be driven by the chance to lead his team of young players. Newly-acquired Roy Hibbert joins the Lake Show this year to anchor the inside game, and Ohio State standout D'Angelo Russell is likely to see time at the point guard position in his first year as a pro.

Unlike other years, the Los Angeles Lakers have really struggled this season. The Lakers are currently sitting at the bottom of the barrel in the Western Conference and have only won 15 games and lost 55. No playoff dreams are insight for the Lakers this year, but the team is still plunking along trying to pull off any wins they can muster. On Tuesday, March 22 the Lakers were finally successful and beat off the Memphis Grizzlies. Even though this was an unlikely win for the Lakers, they were able to hold off the Grizzlies offensively and take home the victory. See them play the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Tickets start at $6.
3/18/16 - There always has to be a losing team and the Los Angeles Lakers have taken on that role for this season. The Lakers have lost their last three games in a row after coming off of two huge wins against the Golden State Warriors and the Orlando Magic. On Tuesday night, the Lakers took on their fellow state members, the Sacramento Kings. The Kings took control of the ball the second the game began and quickly took a huge 32-15 lead in the first quarter. The deficit was too large for the Lakers to bridge, ending the game at 98-106 for the Kings. See what the Lakers can pull together when they take on the Phoenix Suns on March 18.
2/10/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers used to be one of the best teams in the NBA just a few years ago, and now they are pulling up the caboose in the Western conference. However, the beginning of February started out well for the Lakers with two wins right in a row. After their win against the Pelicans on February 4, things started going south. On Wednesday night, the Lakers took on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cleveland. The Lakers fell behind quickly in the first half and were unable to comeback in the last two quarters. The Lakers fell short and lost 111-120. Watch them play the Spurs live on February 19. Tickets are still available.
2/3/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers have a large series of away series starting, but they have been able to kick it off strong. For the first time in a while, the Lakers have won back-to-back matchups. On February 2nd, they hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves and blew them away with a final count of 119 points. Two days later, on the 4th, the Lakers travelled to New Orleans to face the Pelicans. This time, the Lakers pulled off a victory by just three points. They may be on the road until February 19th, but could this be the beginning of a winning streak for the Lakers? Their next home game will be against the San Antonio Spurs.
1/27/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers are still struggling to add wins to their record. They came close when they hosted the Mavericks on January 26. The Mavericks outscored the Lakers in the first quarter, but the Lakers had a strong second quarter, sending the teams into the locker room at the half with the Lakers ahead by two. The Lakers stayed in the game, and it was tied as the game reached the final seconds. However, the Mavericks scored with just two seconds left to secure the victory over the Lakers. The Lakers lost their next game to the Bulls on the 28. They next play the Clippers on January 29. You can still get tickets with prices as low as $7.
1/20/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers have once again found themselves in a losing streak after winning against the Pelicans on the 12. Their most recent loss came against the Kings on January 20. Despite trailing for most of the game, the Lakers never gave up. They even outscored the Kings in the second quarter 34-39. After getting close, they remained within a few points until the Kings had a 13-0 run halfway through the fourth quarter. They were unable to recover from that run. Brandon Bass led the team with a season-high 18 points. They next play the Spurs at home on Friday, January 22. You can still get tickets to catch the action in person, with prices starting at just $7.
1/13/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers have managed to put an end to their short four-game losing streak. They hosted the New Orleans Pelicans on January 12th, ending with the Lakers ahead with a final score of 91-95. They started out by falling behind in the opening quarter, but the Lakers managed to turn things around in the final period. This victory brings their season record to 9-31. They just have a few away games before they return to Los Angeles for a nice long series of home games. This is your best opportunity to catch the Lakers in action. Tickets for their first game back, against the Houston Rockets, start at $67.
1/6/16 - The Los Angeles Lakers have been dominating the court lately, but they unfortunately ended their series of home games on a low note. After returning to Los Angeles on January 1st, they managed to get their winning streak up to three. Their final matchup, however, against the Golden State Warriors, ended with the Lakers behind 109-88. This loss against the top team in the league is not entirely unexpected, but it is still disappointing. This means the Lakers now have a season record of 8-28. This is the Laker's strongest run of games, so fans are hoping their luck has not run out yet. From here, they will be travelling to play the Sacramento Kings, then return for some more home games on January 8th.
12/30/15 - The Kobe Bryant Retirement Tour continues for the Los Angeles Lakers, as they get set to enter 2016 on what they hope will be a good note. They'll need to top their age-old rivals in Boston to snap a four-game skid which comes at the tail end of six losses in seven games. In all likelihood, the contest will mark Kobe's final outing at TD Garden, after scores of memorable matchups versus Paul Pierce and other Celtics greats over the years. The Lake Show returns home to host Phoenix on Jan. 3rd and you can score tickets from $85 and up! Don't miss one of your last chances to see one of the all-time greats on the court!
12/24/15 - After getting a win against the Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers added two more losses to their record. Their latest loss came against the Thunder on December 19. Kobe Bryant sat out the game due to a sore right shoulder, and Anthony Brown played in his stead. Lou Williams led the team in scoring with 20 points, and Jordan Clarkson helped out with 15 points. The final score was 118-78, which marked the second-lowest score the Lakers had this season. The Lakers are in Denver to play on the 22 and then head home to play their city rivals the Clippers on Christmas Day. Tickets remain available for prices starting at just $10.
12/16/15 - There is no question that the Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling this season, but they are still surprising fans. On December 15th, the Lakers earned their fourth victory of the year, against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers opponents earned 95 points, while the Lakers themselves came away with an impressive 113 points. In fact, they earned the most points in the first three quarters, and only scored two less points in the final period. Hopefully this victory means the Lakers have built up some momentum and will earn a few more victories in the coming games. They will be hosting the Houston Rockets on December 17th before hitting the road again, so this may your best chance to see if they have what it takes to win again.
12/9/15 - After their win on December 2 against the Wizards, the Los Angeles Lakers have once again added nothing but losses to their record when they fell to the Hawks, Pistons, Raptors, and Timberwolves. It appeared that things might once again go their way against the Timberwolves after the Lakers played a close game that went into overtime. They lost by one point, with misses from D'Angelo Russell and Roy Hibbert in the final 9 seconds ending their chances of a win. Kobe Bryant chose to sit out the fourth quarter and overtime period in this stop of his retirement tour. The Lakers next play the Spurs on December 11, and tickets are available starting at $52.
12/2/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers are definitely going through a rough patch this season, being at the very bottom of the Western Conference standings. They lost over six games in a row at the end of November and things were looking pretty grim. However, they had a bright spot occur when they finally won a game against the Washington Wizards on December 2. It all came down to the final seconds of the game and a lot of the win was due to Kobe Bryant's outstanding performance. He was able to hit a pull-up jumper with only 30 seconds remaining, which gave the Lakers the lead and win. Get your tickets today to see the Lakers in the flesh. You won't regret it.
11/25/15 - After the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Pacers, they unfortunately lost the next three games in a row against the Suns, Raptors, and Trail Blazers. The Lakers want another win on their record, which is now 2-11, and will look to turn things around when they play the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on November 24. The Warriors are poised to make history for the most wins to start the season. It may seem as though the Lakers have a small chance of winning, but Kobe Bryant feels differently. He says anything is possible, while coach Byron Scott knows the Warriors will be a tough opponent. You can still get tickets to the game, with prices starting at $48.
11/18/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers used to be the team in the NBA that was dominating it all, but in the past several years the Lakers have been getting older and older while other teams have been picking up fresh, new talent. This year hasn't been much better, as the Lakers are the second from the bottom in the Western conference standing board. The good news is that the Lakers were able to scrape their way out of a four-game losing streak when they took on the Pistons on November 15 and won. Get your tickets for the next live Lakers game when they play the Toronto Raptors at the Staples Center on November 20. Tickets are still available.
11/11/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers finally snapped their four game losing streak when they beat the Pistons 97-85 on November 15. Kobe Bryant made 6 of 19 shots to snag a total of 17 points, and he also had nine assists and eight rebounds to help the team to victory. Bryant played a season-high 37 minutes, which also means that he will miss the game against the Suns to rest. Jordan Clarkson also helped out with 17 points. This game was only the second win of the season, and the Lakers will look to win another game when they play the Suns on the 16th. You can still get your tickets to the game, with prices starting at $17.
11/4/15 - Things are not looking good for the Los Angeles Lakers. They have just finished up their series of home games and they are yet to earn a victory. It seems their single-point loss in the season opener may have hurt their momentum because they have not come that close to a victory since. Now, the Lakers are hitting the road and will not return to Los Angeles for the next five matches. This is going to be a long and difficult run of games, but the Lakers are capable of pulling off some away-game victories. Tickets for their homecoming, on November 15th against the Detroit Pistons, are available for $32.
10/28/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers lost a nail-biter of a game against the Timberwolves in their 2015-16 season opener. The Lakers were ahead by 16 points in the second half before the Timberwolves started to rally to bridge the gap and nudge ahead, and the game went back and forth for a bit. With seconds left, Lou Williams went for a four-foot runner but missed right at the buzzer, giving the victory to the Timberwolves. The Lakers showed their support for their opponent's loss of long time coach and team president Flip Saunders by wearing warm up shirts that said Flip. The Lakers head to Sacramento for their next game, and you can still get tickets with prices starting at $46.
10/21/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers finished their preseason with a loss against eh Golden State Warriors. To further the blow, Jordan Clarkson sprained his right shoulder, which might mean he would miss the season opener game on October 28. He will undergo an MRI on Friday to find out the extent of the injury. With the preseason over, the Lakers will now look towards the start of the 2015-16 season, which will also include some roster cuts as they need to get down to the maximum of 15 players by the October 18 deadline. You can still get your tickets for the season and home opener on the 28 against the Timberwolves for as little as $4.
10/12/15 - With the start of the 2015-16 season just a couple weeks away, the Los Angeles Lakers are working hard to build their team during this offseason. They lost their first three preseason games, but finally got a win when they played a non-NBA team, Israel's Maccabi Haifa for an exhibition game. Maccabi also played the Grizzlies, to which they lost. During the game, Kobe Bryant had 21 points, D'Angelo Russell had 11 assists, and Roy Hibbert had 15 rebounds. The Lakers are happy to have Bryant back, after he missed parts of last season due to a rotator cuff injury. The Lakers host the Sacramento Kings on October 13 for their next preseason game, and tickets are available starting at $227.
8/12/15 - With Kobe Bryant expected to return in the upcoming season, do the Los Angeles Lakers have what it takes to get back to the top? After a monumental slide, the once-champion Lakers finished at the bottom of the Pacific Division with a humiliating 21-61 record. As their star shooting guard expects to return, the Lakers will look to start making up for lost time. The new schedule for the 2015-2016 NBA season has just been released, giving Lakers and their fans something to look forward to during the offseason. The Lakers will kick things off at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, October 28 at the Staples Center before facing the Sacramento Kings on the road. Tickets to the home opener start at $15.
2014-2015 Season
4/10/15 - When the Los Angeles Lakers took on the L.A. Clippers, they played their best game since they beat out the Philadelphia 76ers last week. Unfortunately, the Lakers still came up just a little bit short. They fell behind early, but did an excellent job catching up in the second two quarters. It just was not quite enough, with the final score coming to 100-105. The Lakers only have four remaining games, spanning April 10th to the 15th. If you hope to see one last live game in the 2014-2015 season, you are quickly running out of opportunities. Three of the final four matches will be home games, the first being against the Minnesota Timberwolves. There are still some tickets available for as little as $16.
4/3/15 - As the 2014-15 NBA season winds down, the Los Angeles Lakers look for victories and lessons to build on for next season. While their record does not indicate the type of success Lakers fans are accustomed to, a season marred by injuries and early retirements has made the road more difficult than anyone could have anticipated. L.A. has picked up keys wins recently, including a resilient 101-99 overtime win on the road in Minnesota, as well as a 113-111 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers which also ran into extra time. Gutting out tough wins after regulation is a must for any team, and the Lakers will benefit from these experiences next season and beyond. Friday night, Jeremy Lin and his squad will face the Portland Trail Blazers in L.A. Tickets are still available from $24!
3/24/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers have had a very rough season, but they have been playing very well this last week. The Lakers won two of their last three games, and scored more than 100 points in all three. First, despite falling behind in the first half against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lakers achieved an impressive upset and blew the 76ers away. The final score came to 87-101. More recently, the Lakers were able to just barely edge out a victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This time, the Lakers took the lead early, but the game was tied at the final buzzer. Los Angeles was able to take it in overtime, however, with 101-99. If the Lakers keep this up, their final six home games will be very exciting, the first of which is on April 1st against the New Orleans Pelicans.
3/17/15 - The slump continues for the Los Angeles Lakers. Things are not looking up as they are handed their eighth loss in nine games. They very nearly were able to end their streak, however, and against the top team in the league, no less. When the Lakers took on the Golden State Warriors, no one expected the bottom team in the Pacific Division to stand up to the division leader. However, both teams were tied at the end of the first, and the Lakers only trailed by four points at the half. Again, they scored the same amount in the third, and in the end Los Angeles lost by a measly three points, the final score being 105-108. Hopefully the Lakers can play this well when they take on the Utah Jazz on March 19th.
3/10/15 - On paper, they knew that the schedule looked tough—and the month of March has been just that for the Los Angeles Lakers. After closing out February with a three-game winning streak, the Lakers have lost five in a row to playoff teams. No single loss has come by more than seven points during the stretch, however, a promising stat for a team which had become accustomed to losing by double-digits on many nights. If they can put together a few solid offensive performances, then upcoming home contests with the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks should provide opportunities for the Lakers to bolster their win-loss record. Tickets for both games at Staples Center are still available, and you can be a part of the action for as low as $13.
3/3/15 - Coach Byron Scott may have been a little miffed at the boisterous enthusiasm some of his players displayed following their 118-111 overtime victory in Boston, but snapping a seven-game skid can be enough to make just about any team feel like celebrating. The Los Angeles Lakers haven't played to their usual high standards this season, largely due to injuries sidelining their veteran stars, but their win over the Celtics did propel them to just their second three-game winning streak of the season. After downing Utah and Milwaukee, the Lakers came up short versus the shorthanded Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, suffering a 108-101 setback. The Lake Show will hit the road for three games this week, opening in Charlotte on Tuesday night as they take on the Hornets, and tickets are available from $21!
2/26/15 - After a seven game losing streak, the Los Angeles Lakers have put two games in the win column. It's the most games they've put together in a streak since December when they won three games in row. Jeremy Lin and Jordan Clarkson continue to be high scorers for the Lakers, with Carlos Boozer making the most rebounds in the game against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday (3/1), the Oklahoma City Thunder come to town. We have tickets starting at $36. Join the home team in the Staples Center and cheer them on to another win. The Thunder will be a tough team to beat, so they need your support. The Lakers go out on the road for the following week, so you need to catch them now.
2/19/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers didn't change their roster with the NBA trade deadline, so they'll finish out the season with the team they have. The coaches did play a prank on Jordan Hill, making him believe that he was going to be traded. The Lakers are looking to wrap up the remaining games strong, to keep their pride. In their game on Sunday (2/22), they host the Boston Celtics at the Staples Center. You can get your tickets to this game with tickets from Razorgator starting at $43. Skip the hype of the Oscars and come down to the arena to enjoy some fast-paced action on the court. The Lakers used their break to get healthy, so you're sure to see Hill, Nick Young, and Wayne Ellington back on their game.
2/11/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers couldn't break their losing streak, now up to six games. When they played the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, the Lakers never overcame an eight point deficit from the first quarter. Jordan Clarkson did all he could with 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists, but it wasn't enough. The Lakers come back from the All-Star break to host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday (2/20). Tickets start at $21 for this game. On Sunday (2/22), the Staples Center will be buzzing with the Boston Celtics. You can still find great seats for this game starting at $43. Have a great weekend and enjoy the fast-paced action on the court. The Lakers need your support. Come out and yell and shout for the home team!
2/3/15 - After nine straight losses, the Los Angeles Lakers finally got a win against the strong Chicago Bulls. The fans went crazy to see the Lakers crush the Bulls with a final score of 118-123. The Lakers went out on the road and couldn't convert in their game against the New York Knicks. By NBA standards, it was a low scoring game, the final score of 80-92 is a tribute to the Lakers defense. Los Angeles comes back home to the Staples Center on Thursday (2/10) to host the Denver Nuggets, and you can get your tickets starting at $18 from Razorgator to enjoy a fast-paced, exciting game on the court. Keep your eye on rookie point guard Jordan Clarkson, who is coming on strong in Kobe Bryant's absence.
1/29/15 - Amid a nine-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Lakers received confirmation of the news they had been dreading: Kobe Bryant will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. The positive side of the loss is that the team will now have an additional roster spot available to develop another younger player, as the Lakers look to continue rebuilding in hopes of returning to the playoffs in the 2015-16 season. Bryant also had not been as productive on the court as in previous seasons, and his downtime will allow coach Byron Scott to tinker with different lineups. L.A. will host the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night, as they try to stop Derrick Rose and former teammate Pau Gasol from claiming their second victory in three nights. Limited seats are still available, starting at $70.
1/20/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers are having the season every team dreads. They seem to have trouble finding their identity. Kobe Bryant hasn't been the powerhouse everyone expected. With talk of sitting out the last quarter of the season, the Lakers may struggle even more. It's time to keep supporting the players to see what they can do. The Lakers do have some great talent, but they need time to find their game. Ed Davis is great on defense and ranks in the top 25 players in the NBA in blocks per 48 minutes. Ronnie Price is emerging as a strong point guard. Catch the Lakers at home when they face the Houston Rockets on Sunday (1/25) and the Washington Wizards on Tuesday (1/27). Get your tickets at Razorgator for all the action.
1/12/15 - For coach Byron Scott, this season has been a balancing act in many ways. Central to everything for the Los Angeles Lakers is the physical status of veteran shooting guard Kobe Bryant, who has sat out numerous games this year to rest and try to keep his body fresh. The 18-year veteran remains the Lakers' most dangerous weapon on offense, however his performance has been inconsistent—likely the result of more than 50 thousand minutes logged in his NBA career, including the playoffs. The Lakers hope to have him in uniform as they face the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers (who likewise hope to reinsert LeBron James into the active lineup) in the final two games of a four-game homestand. Tickets for Thursday's game versus the Cavs are available from starting at $62, but they're going fast!
1/5/15 - The Los Angeles Lakers will look to get back on the winning track when they begin a four-game homestand on Friday night. With veteran Kobe Bryant in and out of the lineup, the Lakers have gone 2-2 in their last four games, improving their overall record to 11-24, but remain outside of the playoff conversation in a Western Conference that is stacked with talented teams. Bryant remains a force on offense, leading L.A. with nearly 24 points per game, and center Jordan Hill is averaging 12 points plus eight rebounds, but roster tweaks will almost certainly need to be made before the Lakers are ready to reposition themselves among the NBA's elite. Kobe and company will square off with the Orlando Magic on Friday night in search of their 12th win of the season, and Razorgator has great seats at Staples Center available from just $33.
12/31/14 - Facing a brutal schedule to wrap up 2014, the Los Angeles Lakers will try to close things out with a win on Tuesday when they visit the mile-high stadium to face the Denver Nuggets. Although it came against the league-leading Golden State Warriors, the Lakers have managed only one win in their last seven games, after a three-game winning streak that included an overtime win over the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. Kobe Bryant has been in and out of the lineup to rest and recover, but is expected to be in uniform when the Lakers travel to Denver on Tuesday night. Razorgator is your source for great prices on NBA tickets, and you can get in to the Pepsi Center for Nuggets vs. Lakers starting at just $29!
12/25/14 - Kobe Bryant recently passed the great Michael Jordan for third place on the NBA all-time scoring list, but hasn't gotten many shots to fall in the Los Angeles Lakers' most recent losses. The purple and gold suffered a disheartening one-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Friday night, before falling 108-101 to their cross-state rival Sacramento Kings. Bryant and "Swaggy P" Nick Young combined for 51 points, and the Lakers out-rebounded the Kings 47-44, but they shot just below 38 percent from the floor en route to the loss. L.A. will try to bounce back when they host the league-leading Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, before traveling to Chicago for a Christmas Day showdown with Derek Rose and the Bulls. Tickets for this special event are still available starting at $85, but they won't last long!
12/16/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers are looking for redemption following last week's 110-91 loss against the Indiana Pacers. Currently ranked last in the Pacific Division standings, the team will take on the top-ranked Golden State Warriors Tuesday, December 23 in a pre-Christmas game that is sure to be exciting. With an 8-17 record, the Lakers want a big win, and one against the Warriors would show that the Lakers are still a force to be reckoned with. Leading the team in points this season, Kobe Bryant continues to throw up impressive numbers, despite the team's losses. Tickets to next Tuesday's big game are still available for purchase. Tickets for the Staple Center begin at only $4, but since it is so close to Christmas, are sure to move quickly.
12/9/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers will try to string together consecutive wins for only the second time this season on Friday when they visit the reigning NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. Kobe Bryant led his team to a hard-fought 98-95 victory Tuesday night over their intrastate rivals, the Sacramento Kings, improving the Lakers' season record to 6-16 and 3-9 at Staples Center. Bryant shot 11-27 from the floor and dished six assists, including several key passes in the fourth quarter as the Lakers rallied from a nine-point halftime deficit.

12/3/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers didn't let their rocky season slow them down when they took on the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Despite Toronto being the top team in the Atlantic Division and holding a win ratio of 13-4, the Lakers' strong offence earned them a 9 point lead at the half, scoring 31 points in the second quarter. The Raptors slowly inched their way back in the final two quarters, tying the game at 109. Then, in overtime, Los Angeles was able to score 20 points over Toronto's 13, bringing the final score to 122-129. This incredible game ends the Lakers' four-game losing streak and brings their win/loss to 4-13. Los Angeles is starting a series of away games, so hopefully this impressive win gave them the momentum they need.
11/26/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers have been having a hard time gaining momentum this season. It looked like they might be turning things around on Wednesday when they pulled off a two-game slide, but now they have just lost their second game in a row against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. After being tied at the end of the fourth quarter, a tense overtime heartbreakingly left the Lakers a little behind at 101-94. This game puts them at 3-11 and further secures their position as last in the Pacific Division. While it does look like there might not be any chance of catching up to the Clippers at 7-5, you can be sure that the Lakers will continue to play their best as they always do.
11/17/14 - Another disappointing loss for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday brings them to 1-8. The Lakers have had a hard season so far, and their game against the San Antonio Spurs was no exception. Los Angeles was just one small step behind San Antonio through the entire game, ending with a close score of 93-80. Their next couple games are going to be vital. If they have any chance of turning things around, they are going to need some wins soon. However, even if things don't look up for the Lakers, you can rest assured that they will continue to fight hard and play a good game as they always do. They could use your support during their next home game against the Denver Nuggets on the 23rd. Tickets start at $15.
11/12/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers had a very slow start to the season, losing all five of their first games, but on Sunday, Los Angeles earned their first victory against the Charlotte Hornets (3-4). Not only did the Lakers win, the game wasn't even close with the final score resting at 92-107. Of course, the game didn't look like it was going to be a divergence from the losing streak at first. The Lakers were trailing at the half by nine until a 25-6 run put them in the lead at 64-76. They dominated the third quarter. Boozer scored 8 points in a row during a streak of 14 unanswered scores. Los Angeles is looking to add a second win on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies and potentially turn things around for them.
11/5/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to improve for the rest of the 2014-15 season, following another loss against the Golden State Warriors 127-104. The team sits at 0-4, last in the Pacific standings. However, long-timer Kobe Bryant says that the team has a lot of room for improvement. At 36, Bryant continues to wow fans. The first half of the game was disappointing for the player, however, Bryant was able to score 19 points within the third quarter, finishing the game with 24 points. The Lakers meet up with the Phoenix Suns at the Staples Center on Tuesday, November 4, in a game that is sure to excite. Tickets for Tuesday's game are still available and can be purchased starting at $20 per ticket.
10/29/14 - The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a loss of 59-69 in their 2010 home-opener matchup against the Houston Rockets Tuesday, Oct. 28. Kobe Bryant made his regular season return. Last season, Bryant scored 83 points in six games with his knee and achilles problems. He is now entering his 19th season. Steve Nash will be out for the season with a back injury. With 40-year-old Nash out, and his career possibly ended, the Lakers turned to Jeremy Lin, former Rocket, as their starting point guard. Lin scored 3 points and Bryant scored 16, but the game came up just 10 points short for the Lakers. They will play the Los Angeles Clippers at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, at the Staples Center. Get your tickets now for just $8.
10/20/14 – The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers who share the Staples Center in downtown now share a similar average ticket price on the secondary market. At $244, Los Angeles Lakers tickets this season are fifth most expensive in the league followed by their LA rivals who boast an average $240. Don't miss Kobe's regular season return in a 2010 home-opener rematch against the Houston Rockets (min. $64). Jeremy Lin will face his former team; will we see a Linsanity moment for the now point guard of the Lakers?
10/14/14 – The Lakers bench continues to diminish with Lin (ankle), Clarkson (calf), Kelly (hamstring), and Young (thumb) all out with injuries. Lin is said to be 50/50 for Thursday's game in Orange County (get-in $47) while Clarkson and Kelly should be back for Sunday's matchups against Utah at the Staples Center (min. $18).
8/18/14 – The Los Angeles Lakers 2014-2015 schedule emerged last week, and the former Western Conference juggernauts are ready to get back to their winning ways. In one of the most anticipated reveals of the year, the Oct. 28 opener against Houston will see Kobe Bryant's blockbuster return, Byron Scott's debut as head coach, and Dwight Howard's first game opposite Black Mamba since the superstar left LA a year ago. LeBron James will visit on Jan. 14 toting his hometown team of Cleveland, and the "five ring club" gets a little cozier on Nov. 14 when Tim Duncan comes to town with the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. NBA fans will get an awesome gift on Christmas, with Bulls-Lakers tickets on Dec. 25—the first time Pau Gasol will take on his former team in his new hometown of Chicago. The wait is over: buy Los Angeles Lakers tickets for the 2014-2015 season and actually be in the stands when Kobe lights up the court this year!
A bevy of injuries to star players prompted the Los Angeles Lakers to endure their worst season in franchise history. Not only was Kobe Bryant stalled at the outset by his Achilles, but not soon after his recovery, the superstar suffered a season-ending fracture to his left knee. Likewise, his right-hand-man, Pau Gasol, was a frequent side-liner throughout the season, while veteran x-factor Steve Nash could only muster 15 game appearances. Not all bad surfaced from last year's egregious campaign: LA saw inspired play by its younger contributors, have tons of cap space to spend in the offseason, and the await the return of two superstars on the horizon.
Last year's gloomy season was highlighted by the likes of Jodie Meeks, Jordan Hill and Nick Young—all of whom put up career numbers. But after re-tooling this summer, how will the Lakers look in the new year? Los Angeles parted ways with fan-favorite Pau Gasol and Meeks, and said hello to Jeremy Lin, Ed Davis and Carlos Boozer. The franchise also chose a new head coach in Byron Scott, and received the seventh overall pick in the Draft, landing NBA-ready Julius Randle out of Kentucky. You've been pining over No. 24's return for what feels like forever—don't wait a minute longer. Score your Los Angeles Lakers tickets now and watch Black Mamba do his thing on the court!

Nicknaming the Pope: FSJ?
He does need a nickname.JPII . . . B16 . . . FSJ.I realize it will not be unanimously approved. But it has a certain ring to it, doesn't it? And the seal of the Jesuits is very prominent on his coat of arms.

I have been calling him Papa Paco.
But I do like FSJ. Nice ring to it
I prefer a simpler Pope F1
I don't know if he needs a nickname. "Pope Francis" is only three syllables ( Pope Benedict the Sixteenth is kind of a mouthful). Though I guess when writing about him, FSJ is shorter. But I do really like that his name is evocative of St Francis, such a fabulous saint, so I will keep using his full name.
I look forward to saying, "Lighten up, Francis" whenever he says something irritating.
He signs his documents simply as "Francis." That seems to do the trick for me.
I prefer punctuation for clarity: F,S.J. But whatever will be will come out of practice. And I doubt diminishing accounts for more than 1 or 2% of the interest in the name. Jesus, recall, called His Father "Abba."
"Francis" is bold and personal. Using it familiarly - like the short handed names of the prior three which we grew accustomed to due to double names- can sound strange, but I like it also.
Although it was meant to be contemptuous, it always made me laugh when Pope John Paul II was referred to as J2P2. I think it was a columnist for the Village Voice who popularized the abbreviation. It was, of course, a play on R2-D2, the robot in the Star Wars movies.
"Frank." It is down to earth, short, and sounds like the guy who comes in to clean up the mess.
Papa Pancho but sort of like Frank, also - my grandfather's name
@Abe: You are just the most amazing source of memorable lines from forgettable movies. But I doubt that "Psycho" ends up being the nickname of choice.
For now, "Francis" is OK with me. On the other hand, if, like B16, Francis "diminishes" himself, I may refer to him simply as "F".
Let's steer clear of F1. It sounds like a stealth fighter. Besides, a number isn't necessary when there's only one. It's just King John and Queen Anne. But plain F won't do either. FSJ, three scarcely euphonious syllables, is a needless and possibly invidious descriptor, suggesting that the SJ part is an essential mark. It could also prove to be a distressing precedent if a Dominican is ever elected and chooses the name William.It's never impolite to call people what they ask to be called. So I'd go with Francis. Or The Pope.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Irene, that offended me more than anything anyone said in the gay marriage thread down below. Forgettable? Stripes? C'mon...
I'm told that the name Francis was actually a nickname for the famous friar of Assisi, whose given first name was Giovanni; as it was relayed to me, "Francesco" was a nickname signifying something like "Frenchy" in English, and was a name be earned in his pre-conversion names for his dandified attire. (I'm sure someone will correct me if this isn't quite on the money; I'm retrieving from my memory something heard years ago in a homily, so there are multiple ways that this could be not quite factual).Anyway, if this is anywhere close to true, then his name already is a nickname.
"... and was a name *he* earned in his pre-conversion *days" ..."Sorry.
That sounds right about the nickname, if not necessarily about the reason for it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_of_Assisi
I am lobbying for PFSJ.

What is the best way to handle changes to product requirements or scope during or after User Acceptance Testing (UAT)? How dangerous is it to make those changes, and how can the danger be mitigated?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The scope can be changed at anytime, provided those changing accept the required changes to budget and schedule. You can't stop people from continually trying to change the scope until they realize it costs money, providing a few estimates of the cost for requested changes from higher-ups will help them make that connection. Doing this is unlikely to stop them from requesting changes, but it is likely to stop them from complaining when you deny those changes, and will help you identify the changes you need to make when they understand the cost of that change.
I think the best way to deal with these change requests is to present a revised schedule including the change. And if it's after UAT, then the new schedule includes a second run through UAT.
When they go 'but we don't need that' you can ask why not? Doesn't the product need to be accepted by the user? If they haven't seen it, they can't accept it, right?

BP has become a much safer company in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, said CEO Bob Dudley, who was appointed to lead BP after the April 2010 incident.
By Ben
Online Editor
HOUSTON -- BP has become a substantially safer company in
the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster, the
groups CEO said on Wednesday.
Bob Dudley, who gave the opening keynote address on
Wednesday at the IHS CERAWeek conference, said his company had
learned from the accident and shared its lessons with
Two years ago, when I stood here in this very spot, I
said I was determined that we would emerge from the Deepwater
Horizon accident as a safer, stronger, more sustainable
company, Dudley said.
We have made good on those promises. We are honoring
our commitments. We have set new standards. We continue working
very systematically on safety and our record is
Dudley took the reins at BP in the months following
the April 2010 spill, replacing former CEO Tony
BP, along with rig owner Transocean and services contractor
Halliburton, is currently on trial in a civil lawsuit over
spill-related damages. On Wednesday, Dudley appeared to draw a
contrast between his company and the others.
Among the many responsible parties, we alone stepped
up from the outset, acknowledging our role, waving the
liability cap and committing ourselves to help restore the environment and economy of the Gulf
Coast region, he said.
We did not wait for a court to determine fault in
order to do what we believed to be the right thing.
Dudley said BP, which leased and operated the
rig, is vigorously defending itself. However,
it remains determined to make that case in the courtroom,
rather than the media.
We believe the law and the facts are on our side, and
we have faith in the legal system, he said.
The company says it has already spent over $24 billion in
response, clean-up and restoration costs and in payments on
claims made by individuals, businesses and governments.
On the management side, Dudley cited the formation of a
powerful safety and operational risk team that
works alongside all company businesses.
We have restructured our business to continue driving
systematic and reliable operations worldwide, he
Dudley noted that even after the disaster, BP remains the
largest deepwater leaseholder in the Gulf of Mexico, with seven
large deepwater rigs operating.
CERAWeek continues through Friday at the Hilton Americas in
downtown Houston.

The attitude seems to be right, which is injured becomes more experienced than he is lucky but no improvement.I hope that actions support the words

But what to do to avoid occurrence like this?
Sirs, BP is a name in the oil and gas industry that somehow causes your system to throw up whatever is inside you. It stinks from a distance!Their rotating equipment engineers at the refinery in Texas City a few years ago. The same feeling. Do not pay attention to speeches, luncheons and decorations!
P Mitch
Didn't BP say a similar thing after Texas City.If I remember Hayward said something like "My enduring priority is the safety of our operations all around the world."

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

Oak Creek summit focuses on how to prevent violence
Oak Creek - More than 100 people, including some who lost family members in the Aug. 5 mass shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, met at a school here Saturday to learn how they can prevent violence.
Much of the discussion at East Middle School focused on things anyone could do, such as taking time to personally connect with other people so they don't feel detached from their community.
"We need to start learning about each other and develop relationships. We all need to look out for each other in every way we can," said Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, a member of the Sikh temple whose uncle, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was killed in the shooting there.
The shooting at the Oak Creek temple was one of at least 62 mass shootings in the United States in the past 30 years, according to a December article in Mother Jones magazine. Most of the killers were mentally ill and obtained their guns legally, the magazine noted.
If someone has even one healthy relationship and has developed a friendship with someone who keeps them plugged into the broader community, it's unlikely they will go on a killing spree, Kaleka said.» Read Full Article

I have my queens hotkeyed so I can double tap the key, hit V for spawn larvae, then click my hatchery. However, I would like to get rid of the need for the mouse click. Can I somehow select the target for my spawn larvae with just a hotkey? That way I could keep my larvae flowing with less distraction.
You can't avoid to click, but you can click on the minimap.
If you select all your queens (say in a single control group) and cast spawn larva on the minimap, the closest queen will cast spawn larva on the closest hatchery to where you clicked.
This is another function of smart casting.
This isn't possible. The way you're doing it is likely the fastest you can hope for.
I do see this is a very old question. But, here is another, even better, method. If you have all your queens on a single hot key. Then to spawn larve on all your hatcheries all you need to do is hold shift, click V once, then hit your button to cycle through all your bases. The default key for this is backspace. However, I switched that key for me to "tab".
Using this method all you need to click is the hotkey, then keep your mouse centered on the screen and click after each tab. You can do this very quickly between a great number of bases. This is way more simple then clicking the hatcheries on the mini-map as this method takes precision to hit such a small target accurately.

Within a user manual, I need to convey the maximum time period allowed as "365 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds" - are commas expected between each component? Is the word "and" expected before the last component regardless of the time period name?
I would use commas between each component, and use "and" only if the last component is seconds. I learned way back in intermediate school that "and" is only used before fractions (so 10,247 is said "ten thousand, two hundred forty-seven" but 10 7/8 is said "ten and seven-eighths"). I would call seconds the smallest "lay person" time interval — if you're getting into fractions of a second, you've moved beyond regular timekeeping and are now talking science, so it would be formatted differently.

Selling your business can be hard, especially after investing so much money, time, and energy on building it up. If you do it right, you win; if you do it wrong, you lose. Selling a business is a delicate balancing act, and takes time.
Ask Yourself These Before You Sell
Anthony Tjan, in his book The Founder's Dilemma: To Sell or Not to Sell?, advises entrepreneurs to ask themselves these questions:
1. Do I need to sell? Explore whether there are other options such as investing in assets with long-term value that push this question off until you are ready.
2. Can I take some chips off the table? Look at other options such as a recap, a dividend, or a partial sale of your stock.
3. Do I want to sell? What you want personally is as important as the dollar amount you might get. Ask yourself whether you will be happy or feel as if you sold out too soon."
However, Bo Burlingham, in his Foreword of Built to Sell, by John Warrillow, provides a counter-intuitive advice about building and selling a business: "The point is that the best businesses are sellable, and smart businesspeople believe that you should build a company to be sold even if you have no intention of cashing out or stepping back anytime soon."
The reasons for selling may vary: market saturation, burnt-out feeling, seeking a new adventure, the pleasure of creating something new, and worries about the economy and future of the company and industry.
Basics of Selling the Business
Selling your business could very well be the most important decision in your life, so make sure you do it the right way.
1. Professional Valuation
First up, it is a must to get the worth of your business evaluated from an independent, professional source. A professional valuation gives you details about your business' strengths and weaknesses, market position, buyer's offers, and an idea about the gains from the sale.
Domenic Rinaldi, president and managing partner, Chicagoland Sunbelt, Chicago, says: "there are many formulas for valuing a business. The sale price depends on such factors as sales, profits, business fundamentals, future prospects, client concentrations, and others. A third-party independent valuation is one of the most reliable methods of establishing a market value for your business."
2. Keep Records up to Date
Buyers prefer detailed financial and company records that give a complete picture of company's financial position.
Loraine MacDonald, in her article Preparing to Sell Your Business, says: "Buyers evaluating your business generally require at least three years' worth of financial information. The more formal your statements (accountant-reviewed or -prepared vs. internally generated statements), the better the impression you'll make-and the easier the due diligence for a buyer. Tax returns may suffice."
3. Listen to Advisers
Professional advisers have seen the situation before and know how to go about it.
As Domenic Rinaldi, says: "No matter how independent you are, the sale of a business is not something to handle on your own. A good team should consist of a business intermediary, transaction attorney, and accountant. The performance of the company during the time it is on the market is crucial, so working with a transaction team will allow you to focus on the ongoing operation of the company while the team handles the sale."
4. Know How to Meet Buyers
There is a whole lot to learn about meeting the prospective buyers. These meetings will make or break the deal. As Domenic Rinaldi says, don't lose leverage by appearing desperate at trying times.
5. Sell When There is More Than One Buyer
When you have multiple buyers, you have more leverage and higher value. Domenic Rinaldi says: "Brokers constantly remind sellers that having only one buyer is like having no buyers. A good business brokerage firm has the marketing muscle to generate heavy buyer interest even if the business and owner are not in top form.
"A brokerage firm should have a large, existing database of buyers who may be interested in your business, an internet presence that attracts buyers and a trained, professional staff that knows how to manage a difficult situation. Engaging multiple buyers will enable you to get the best price and terms possible."

I want to know how phishing and malware protection features are implemented in modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE etc. Are these features heuristic based, or do browsers maintain a list of blacklisted websites like in case of mozilla . Secondly, is there any security standard or specification the browser must be compliant with?
Safe Browsing API
Google offers Safe Browsing, which uses URL lists as well as heuristics:
The Safe Browsing API is used by Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, but the effectiveness varies by implementation.
IE uses its own methods of protection (SmartScreen), but the process is very similar to Safe Browsing.
Effectiveness of each browser from various tests show vastly different results depending on the type of tests run.

This deal looks pretty good. So here's the thing. I was looking at this and it at first appears pretty straight forward. Buy this for 5, get 5 in credit making it free. But then I was checking out the 5 individual packs that make up this bundle. Separately they would cone to 14.98. BUT the description on EACH of the packs says that you get a 5 credit. . . . .So, I'm wondering if that stacks..... So buy them separately for 15 and get 25 of credit. Anybody out there try it that way?
>>Qualifying credits for this promotion may only be used one at a time.<<
What I'm reading is I can have the credit multiple times, but only use one $5 for each of their choice games in Jan 2013.
Sounds like they've made it awfully complicated to go the paid route for some games that people have been easily downloading from ROM sites and running on emulators for over a decade. I'm not advocating stealing these games, but they shouldn't make this deal so confusing with the illegal alternative so close at hand to so many.
To save you the trouble, here's the list of games in each pack.
Altered Beast
Comix Zone
Crack Down
Ecco the Dolphin
Gain Ground
Golden Axe
Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi
Shinobi III
Space Harrier II
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Bonanza Bros.
Ecco Jr.
Eternal Champions
Fatal Labyrinth
Galaxy Force II
Kid Chameleon
Super Thunder Blade
Alien Storm
Bio-Hazard Battle
Columns III
Decap Attack
Ecco: The Tides of Time
ESWAT: City Under Siege
Golden Axe II
Sword of Vermilion
Virtua Fighter 2
Alien Soldier
Gunstar Heroes
Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole
Light Crusader
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Shining in the Darkness
Streets of Rage

Phantasy Star IV
Streets of Rage 3
The Revenge of Shinobi

Wonder Boy in Monster World
@88mph: So many games I would have killed for as a kid in those lists.
can you add these to steam?
Huge fan of Sega ! I love great deals like this , everyone in the family can enjoy . Thank you to all that made this possible .
No Sonic!?
No X-Men!?!?
No Skitchen!?!?!?
No Road Rash!?!?!?!?
@criticalcritic: Ahhhh Road Rash. The game that took so much time from my childhood. That was the game I looked for on the list too. Too bad it's not there.
I ended up buying this for the Wonder Boy games which weren't included on the earlier XBox 360 Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection.
Not a download version, but you can get the gold edition for $8.59 with sonic here. http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Collection-GE-PC/dp/B004GGO1JA/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1353347752&sr=1-3&keywords=sonic+ultimate+genesis+collection
@criticalcritic: Beyond Oasis by itself is worth $5
@mofish: I don't think I've ever played that game. Though I can say that I was excited to see Altered Beast on the list!
Wasn't there a really good Ninja Turtles game (like the arcade version) for Sega? I don't see that on the list either!
So it's been asked, but no answer yet, has anyone tried and can add this to Steam?
@rashoultes: @sybrwookie It does not work with Steam.
@jcl945: So how does it work? Are they DRM free? Unlimited use?
@criticalcritic: Hyperstone Heist. It was a repackaged version of Turtles in Time but instead of stealing the Statue of Liberty, the Foot Clan captures a meteor.
@thelastredeemer: It give you a link to an installer and just installs. There are no keys and it seems I can download this as many times as I want.

Wringer (Paperback)
Palmer LaRue is running out of birthdays. For as long as he can remember, he's dreaded the day he turns ten -- the day he'll take his place beside all the other ten-year-old boys in town, the day he'll be a wringer. But Palmer doesn't want to be a wringer. It's one of the first things he learned about himself and it's one of the biggest things he has to hide. In Palmer's town being a wringer is an honor, a tradition passed down from father to son. Palmer can't stop himself from being a wringer just like he can't stop himself from growing one year older, just like he can't stand up to a whole town -- right? Newbery Medal winner Jerry Spinelli's most powerful novel yet is a gripping tale of how one boy learns how not to be afraid.
About the Author
Jerry Spinelli received the Newbery Medal for Maniac Magee and a Newbery Honor for Wringer. His other books include Smiles to Go, Loser, Space Station Seventh Grade, Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush?, Dump Days, and Stargirl. His novels are recognized for their humor and poignancy, and his characters and situations are often drawn from his real-life experience as a father of six children. Jerry lives with his wife, Eileen, also a writer, in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

A version of the Hilbert-Mumford criterion states the following: Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group and $V$ a representation of $G$ over a field $k$ (alg. closed, char. zero). Suppose that $y \in \overline{Gx} - Gx$. Then, there is a one-parameter subgroup $\lambda : k^\times \to G$ such that $$ \lim_{t\to 0} \lambda(t)x \in \overline{Gy}. $$
My question is: Is there an example where every one parameter subgroup misses the orbit of $y$? I.e., is there an example where, for every $\lambda: k^\times \to G$ $$ \lim_{t\to 0} \lambda(t)x \in \overline{Gy} \implies \lim_{t\to 0} \lambda(t)x \in \overline{Gy}-Gy? $$ If $G$ is a torus the answer is "no". What if $V$ is replaced by a more general scheme $X$ that is not itself a representation?

High carbon monoxide levels were found Saturday at a Leavenworth residence, a Fire Department spokesman said.
Fire Capt. Shawn Kell said a CO detector alerted people at the residence at 2005 Choctaw Street. Firefighters were contacted at 8:09 a.m. Saturday. The residents were waiting outside the home when firefighters arrived.
Kell said firefighters had carbon monoxide readings of 77 parts per million.
Leavenworth firefighters put on their self-contained breathing apparatuses for protection when they have CO readings of 35 parts per million or greater.
Kell said a technician from Kansas Gas Service also responded, and the scene eventually was turned over to that agency.

Former Hostess workers scramble after job loss
Losing a job just 10 days before Thanksgiving was a hard blow for Rick Marzuco and his family. But what's been even more frustrating? The truck driver blames his former employer, Hostess Brands, for undermining his job search.
Before hiring a commercial truck driver like Marzuco, a company needs to obtain and review drug and alcohol test records from the former employer. That's required under federal law.

Is there no post AND page parameter for WordPress functions? So would I have to create a custom post type to define post AND page?
For example,
add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $post_type, $context, $priority, $callback_args ); you need to define what type of
$post_type. The options are 'post', 'page', 'link' or a custom post type.
I'd like to define a meta box that applies to both the post and page. Surely copying and pasting the function and then replacing the $post_type with post and page would work but it wouldn't be very efficient.
I know that
is_singular() defines both a post and page, but that is for a query.
Any ideas? I'd prefer not to install another plugin. One reason I am creating a meta box is so that I don't have to install a plugin.

5 Internet Life Lessons Parents Need to Start Teaching Kids
#2. Assume Everything is a Scam, and You'll Almost Always be Right
Repeat after me, kids: nothing is truly free. People who offer you free things on the internet in exchange for some action on your part (a download, a reply, an account number) are trying to trick you and rob you.
In general, if you receive an email from someone you don't know, there's a very good chance that it's either an advertisement or a flat-out scam. Some subject lines will be obvious, if not somewhat intriguing ("chemical spillz in pussy orphanage ROLAX!") so just delete them and forget they ever existed. However, some will be harder to spot. And at some point in your life you will fall for one.
For instance, so-called "419 scams" appear to be actual emails from actual people, complete with a tear-jerking story of some horrible thing that happened to a coworker, friend, or family member. They will make a very convincing case that they live outside the United States, and they have this money that they cannot access without your help. If you could just give them some of your personal information and your bank account number, they could transfer this money to you, and in return you can keep some of it.
Bullshit, right? You wouldn't believe how many people actually fall for it. Smart people. These scammers are con artists whose entire livelihood depends on eventually figuring out a way to fool you. They'll keep trying. They'll play on your sympathy, or your loneliness, or your guilt. But at the center of it they're really playing on your desire to get something for nothing.
You can never be too cynical about this. Don't even bother responding. Just delete it. Nothing is truly free. Write it on your monitor with a Sharpie.
Right above "never trust Nigerian royalty".
Likewise, you'll run into sites offering everything from free online gaming, free online casinos, free screen savers, free video game hacks, whatever. All you need to do is download this toolbar that oh by the way will spawn popup ads on every site you visit and track every move you make online.
Also, watch out for official-looking emails from your email host or Facebook or your bank or any other online service you can possibly use, asking for your login information. They'll claim your account is in some kind of danger and that you have to follow a link they gave you that, in reality, leads to a dummy page intended to steal your password.
PC gaming is rampant with this, WoW players are inundated with in-game messages from "official Blizzard employees." Always remember that in an online game, the makers will never ask you for your username and password.
In fact, the same is true for the rest of the internet. If someone asks you for that information, don't give it to them.
All right. Let's not put this one off any longer. But you're not going to be a kid forever and at some point you're going to need to know to...
#1. Be Responsible with Porn
By far, the easiest way to stay safe where porn sites are concerned is to not go to one. But that's like telling you that the easiest way to avoid gaining weight is to not eat junk food. It's true, but... you're going to reach a certain age where statistically your odds of looking at porn are close to 100%. It's better to acknowledge the stuff exists and encourage responsibility than pretend you'll eat nothing but celery for the rest of your life.
There's a time for bacon, is the message here.
First of all, exercise some goddamned common sense. People get fired every day for looking at porn. Do not look at porn at work. School is another no-no. The connections there are monitored, and you will get caught if "Boob Titford's Tittyworld" shows up on their network. If you honestly have to see some porn so badly that you can't wait until you get home and watch it in private, you need help. Come talk to me. It'll be weird but nothing you're doing is going to shock me. I'm not entirely sure I haven't appeared in some porn at some point.
Second, remember your rules for spam email. Porn offers that come through mail are extremely likely to lead to a link that will hijack your computer. If you don't know someone who can clean it out for you, you'll be spending a couple hundred dollars to get it fixed and from then on every time you walk into the computer shop, the repair guy will give you a knowing smirk that says he knows you like the interracial stuff.
Stick to physical media for really nasty kinks.
Third, and most important, get your porn from a clean source. There are mainstream sites with legal disclaimers that operate in the open and are completely free. If, instead, you wind up at some anonymous pic-trading site you can wind up with porn that can send your ass to jail. You're going to wind up with shit that was filmed with an underaged girl in a Ukrainian mobster's basement.
I haven't covered everything in this article -- it's not possible, considering scammers have thought up a dozen new cons in the time it took me to write it -- and you'll still have to learn some lessons the hard way, through embarrassing trial and error. And when it happens, you'll be able to look back at this article and realize that you should have goddamned paid attention like I told you.

She is going to be a blast to recreate because she sort of reminds me of Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Her hair is in pigtails that curl up. She has glasses that glare out her eyes, and a simple dress style. I do believe that you will have fun so enjoy, and leave some feedback.

I wonder if it is possible to characterize the class of gently falling functions, which I would like to define as follows. Let $g(x)$ be a $C^2$ function defined on an interval $R \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of the real line. It will be no loss of generality for my purposes to assume that $g(x) \ge 0$ on $R$, and that $\max_{x \in R} \; g(x) = 1$. Imagine placing a particle on the curve at any point and letting it frictionlessly slide down the curve under the influence of gravity (with nominal gravitation constant 1). Say that $g(x)$ is gently falling if, for every start point, the particle never "ski-jumps off" the curve in its downward descent.
Example 1.
$g(x) = \sqrt{1-x^2}$ for $R=[0,1]$ is not gently falling.
If I've calculated correctly, a particle starting near
the max $(0,1)$ will separate from the curve after falling
height $1/3$.
Example 2. $g(x) = \cos^2(x)$ for $R=[0,\pi/2]$. Under the assumptions above, I believe this is gently falling: a particle released at any point remains on the curve throughout its descent.
Example 3. (Added later.)
$g(x)$ is a scaled and translated piece of $\cos^2(x)$ for $x>2$, preceded by a linear ramp
tangent to $\cos^2(x)$:
Now a particle released at the max gathers enough momentum to lift off at the $x=2$ transition. So $g(x)$ is not gently falling.
I've worked out a condition that (I think!) needs to be satisfied for $g(x)$ to be gently falling, under my assumptions. Let $g=g(x)$, $\dot{g} = dg/dx$, and $\ddot{g} = d^2g /dx^2$. Then, for $g$ to be gently falling, $$2 (1-g) \ddot{g} + (1 + \dot{g}^2) \ge 0$$ should be satisfied for all $x$. For the quarter circle, the left side of this inequality becomes $$ \frac{x^2}{1-x^2} - 2 \left(\frac{x^2}{\left(1-x^2\right)^{3/2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \right) \left(1-\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)+1 $$ which simplifies to $$ \frac{3}{1-x^2} -\frac{2}{\left(1-x^2\right)^{3/2}} $$ which is positive for $x$ less than the root $\sqrt{5}/3 \approx 0.745$, in accord with the picture above. When I work out the calculation for the second example, there are no roots within $R$.
I have two questions. First, has anyone seen a curve definition like this before? If so, even for tangentially related ideas, I'd appreciate a pointer. Second, if my gently-falling inequality on $g$, or some analogous inequality, is correct, are there general methods to characterize all the functions $g$ that satisfy it? Right now I can determine if any given function is gently falling, but I don't have a sense for the contours of the set of all gently falling functions. Thanks for any ideas!
(The motivation for these questions is a bit far from their form above, and it might distract from the mathematics to explain.)

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I would have instantly said this was created using balsamiq.
Balsamiq is a wireframing mockup tool that you can use to design prototype interfaces using building block elements such as an empty browser window as a foundation and then gradually add finer grained components in order to produce a design.
You can also use Balsamiq to add drawings to your posts here in stack exchange.
Except... the yellow comment areas, I don't recognise them as being the balsamiq 'taped on' style of note - and to be honest, the lines look a little too straight and the search box is too straight as well.
I don't think this is balsamiq. There are quite a few similar tools for mockups / wireframes / prototypes, but if this was not created using one of those, then it was probably a drawing package rather than a paint package.
Even using a drawing package such as OmniGraffle, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape (free), a designer can produce and import their own snippets of elements in a similar fashion to the tailor-made tools.
Typically the popular prototyping tools tend to deliberately use lines that are not straight in order to promote a sketchy feel in order that clients etc do not focus on the detail, but on the overall design and layout.
The fact that the lines in this image are so straight, and the last column in the table does not have the emails aligned with the header, leads me to think this was probably not from a dedicated prototyping tool, but from the image alone, it's very hard to tell.
a bit longer answer than in my previous comment: the image is a wireframe, typically made with a Wireframing Tool or Mockup Tool such as Balsamiq (http://www.balsamiq.com/).
There's great variety of both free and commercial programs out there. Balsamiq is rather mid-range regarding the features and the prize.
Alternatives: AXURE (http://www.axure.com/) would be rather complex and that also shows in the price tag. OmniGraffle (http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnigraffle/) less complex and more affordable.
Here's also a list of 10 free tools: http://mashable.com/2010/07/15/wireframing-tools/ but you'll find many more when you look for "mockup tools" or "wireframe tools".
You could however use any other drawing / graphics program to generate similar wireframe sketches.

Shipping to CA was just $7.84
I am curious as to why anyone would buy this as going to the store, buying fresh ingredients as opposed to something sitting in a warehouse for months... are Smore's that hard to make?
I guess if you were buying a bunch of other things from ThinkGeek and just added this to push you over that $50 free shipping mark it might be good.
@agent019: I've seen this on QVC. If you aren't near a campfire you put it in this and nuke it. Then you just have to worry about the carcinogens from the plastic.
Sold out anyway.....
@agent019: "Fresh" ingredients at "the store"? I get ALL my ingredients from our local farmers market. Until you have had a s'more made with free range marshmallows, corn fed graham crackers, and free trade Hershey's bars, cooked over a fire made with renewable hand hewn timber, you have NOT had a s'more. C'mon people!
