6 Sci-Fi Movie Conventions (That Need to Die)
With the rebirth of the Star Trek franchise, sci-fi is a cash cow again. And while studios all over Hollywood are busy building model space ships and robots, we'd like them to pause for a moment and, you know, give the scripts a look.After all, there's a few arbitrary sci-fi rules that seem to turn up in all of these movies and, quite frankly, it's time to move on.
#6. The Ship is an OSHA Nightmare
Two starships meet for battle and open fire. A photon plasma space torpedo slams into the hull. Inside, on the bridge, we watch as the whole room shakes, throwing the cast around like rag dolls. A second impact causes sparks to fly from the control panels, possibly even killing an extra.
The battered crew can only wonder why, on a ship that has technology in place to keep them from getting splattered against the rear wall when it jumps to light speed (or stops suddenly), every impact shakes their world like a kid rattling a Christmas present.
Why They Need To Stop:
We know why they do it. It's a way to add an element of danger for the main characters. That tends to get diluted if they're sitting comfortably on the bridge while the battle goes on in their view screen.
But no matter how far into the future you set your film, if the cable guy can keep our TV from exploding when lightning strikes the house, why does this futuristic spaceship have a panel blow every time anything remotely interesting happens on the ship?
And more to the point, why is the crew in an exposed spot at all? Sure, there are those ships (like most in Star Wars) that have windows, but, why do they need them? That's what view screens are for. Nobody is trying to navigate that bastard by squinting at the next planet through a dirty windshield. Look at the protruding command towers on the Star Wars Star Destroyers--at least once we see a fighter smash into their window, causing the whole damned ship to crash.
And if the bridge doesn't have windows (as it doesn't in Star Trek), then why in the hell does it need to be in some exposed spot where any random object can destroy it? Why not bury it in the middle of the ship, with layers of metal between the guys at the wheel and all of the exploding warp phaser missiles outside?
Don't tell us we're over-thinking this, damnit! That's what sci-fi is for, to make us feel smarter than people watching other movies.
#5. The Futuristic Conversation Rule of Three
Two characters will be carrying on a normal conversation. One character will try to make a point by listing historical references. First, the character lists two references from the real world to set up a pattern, then tacks on a completely fictional reference that's either alien or hasn't happened yet. Like this exchange from The Wrath of Khan:
"You'll be remembered among the great scientists: Newton, Einstein, Sulak."
See, the first two establish the caliber of scientists we're talking about. Sure, you've never heard of the third one (Trekkies notwithstanding), but if he's on the same list as Newton and Einstein, he has to have cured cancer or something, right? It helps keep the story rooted in the real world as we know it.
"Let's play a game like Chess, or Monopoly, or Bleep Glorp. Or Jenga."
Why They Should Stop:
There's something corny about the way they always start the list off with something that happened close to the time when the show was made, rather than starting close to when the characters are supposed to live. It would be like starting off your genocidal references with the Jerusalem massacre of 1099 rather than the Holocaust.
Also, how often is it that you list more than one past reference in a single sentence? "This kid is great, he'll be the next Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James!"
We do have to give credit to Firefly, which largely avoided this. The series takes place in the wake of a massive (failed) war for independence, of which two main characters are veterans, so most historical references are from that war, with the exception being a (very) educated doctor referencing Ancient Egypt.
#4. The All-in-One Instant Plot Fixing Tool
The heroes are running out of time and they must do something NOW in order to save the day. All of a sudden, a space version of a Swiss Army Knife appears (e.g. Tricorder, main deflector dish, R2D2) that happens to be able to do just what is needed to save the day... quite tidily, in fact.
Even if it can't do exactly what the heroes need, it can usually be easily modified to do that exact thing, even if the thing it needs to do is completely made up. A common variation on this is the sensor that senses everything and then senses the side effects of everything else, even things the designers didn't know existed.
The writers of Dr. Who flaunt this idea with the "sonic screwdriver," creating a running joke that it can do anything the plot needs it to do.
Why They Should Stop:
Whether it's epic poetry or sci-fi, the whole fun of a dramatic adventure is watching how the characters use their courage, wits and creativity to get out of these jams. That all gets farted out the window when you realize that the little droid they've had with them the whole time has the magical power to make any machine in the galaxy do exactly what they wanted.
It also creates logical holes all over the place. For instance, once you've shown a character using his phaser to tunnel through a mountain, you immediately think back to every time a character has ever been trapped in a room, and wonder why he didn't do the same. And why would even the most secure doors in the Star Wars universe have locks that can be "picked" by random repair droids?
It's the kind of lazy "get out of plot trouble free" card that we wouldn't tolerate for a second in a story set in the here and now (MagGuyver explained how he hotwired a car with bubble gum, damnit!).
As for the sonic screwdriver on Dr. Who, in the original run on BBC, the producers forced the writers to break the sonic screwdriver to make the show more interesting. The writers had become so accustomed to using it as a crutch that they only agreed to do so because they thought they were going to be able to write another one back in (by the way, it wasn't until the new relaunch of the series that it was actually used to drive screws).
For a corollary to this, also see the "Tim Taylor" rule: if a part of the ship isn't getting the job done, just divert more power to it! More electricity makes every device work better than it was designed to! Just try it with your TV! Of course, if it doesn't work, you could always just reverse the polarity.

One of the two men wants to kill himself and he is saved by the other one. All the other scenes take place in a small apartment room where they talk about different things like family or god.
Other details I remember
- The man who can be interpreted as the savior is afro american.
- the dialog of these two characters is creating the entire movie.
- I don't think that there are any other characters besides these two.

Let $g(x,c)$ be a uniformly random integer in the range $(x,x+c)$ and $LCM[x_1,x_2...x_i]$ the lowest common multiple of the integers $x_i$.
A) Does the limit of (the asymptotics of $LCM[g(3^1,c),g(3^2,c),...,g(3^x,c)]$ as $x→∞$) as $c→∞$ exist?
B) How to find the limit of A) if it exists ?
C) Given any strictly increasing unbounded function $f(n)>O(n)$, how to find the asymptotics of $LCM[g(f(1)),g(f(2))...g(f(x))]$ as $x→∞$, and then as $c→∞$?
Alternatively, is there any reference that seeks an answer to above questions? Which tools can be used to solve the above?

Lets say you have a chemical solution $A$ that has a ratio of $4:1$ of water to some chemical substance, and a solution $B$ that has a ratio of $9:1$ of water to some other chemical substance.
If you combine the same amount of each solution, the resulting solution is not in a ratio of $6.5 : 1$ (the average), but is instead $5.6666 : 1$.
Can someone help me understand why one cant just average the two ratios if the same amount of solution is added together? For some reason its just not clicking.

Cheasty Greenspace Draft Vegetation Management Plan
Mark Mead, Senior Urban Forester | (206) 233-5019 | email@example.com
Cheasty Greenspace is located on the east slope of Beacon Hill directly above the Rainier Valley and Martin Luther King Way. The greenspace stretches along a 1.5-mile north-south axis between S. Bayview St. on the north boundary to S. Angeline St. at the south extent. The thirty-one parcels comprising the greenspace total approximately 43 acres many are linked by undeveloped rights-of-way property that is not owned by Seattle Parks. Inclusion of these rights-of-way increases the total acreage to be managed under the guidelines of this vegetation management plan to 57 acres. VMP is meant to provide direction for vegetation management actions in Cheasty Greenspace.

Non-uniform circuits, according to my understanding, are those which have different circuit depending on the input size. Constant depth circuit are those whose depth is constant in the input size. So if for example we considered an instance k of the complexity class TC0 which is a non-uniform constant-depth circuit, and let kn be the circuit instance at input size n, does that mean that the following sentence is allowed or not: depth(ki) ≠ depth(kj) when i≠j.
In other words, does the non-uniformity of a complexity class allow a constant-depth circuit to have different depths for different input size or not ?

Which way of writing the word: "Email" or "e-mail" is correct? Both variants seem to be in wide use. If both ones are okay, maybe there is a difference in contexts they have been used (one is more formal than the other)?

Both e-mail and email are in standard use at this point, although e-mail retains a vast majority of usage in edited, published writing according to my research using the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA).
Here are the current results counts in COCA for various categories of English:
Obviously the "spoken" totals don't represent any kind of actual usage but rather the policies of the organizations that transcribed the spoken data, so I also included a total that excludes the spoken examples. So, in (edited, published) fiction, magazines, newspapers, and academic writing we find that the traditional e-mail outnumbers incidences of email by more than 8.5 to 1. COCA includes data starting from 1990.
Now that we have established that e-mail retains the position of preferred usage by a very large margin, let's look at trends over time. These numbers are in incidences per million words (rather than total incidences):
This is a graphical representation showing the data over time:
The blue and red lines show the frequency of incidence for e-mail and email per million words. The orange line shows the ratio of incidence between e-mail and email over the same period. From these results, we see that e-mail was on a meteoric rise in the 1990s and by 2000 it has locked in at between 70 and 100 incidences per million words. Email, on the other hand, saw very little usage until 2005, when its use soared up to about 30 incidences per million words over the last few years.
What does all this tell us? We see a word whose spelling is in transition. It is not clear whether email will eventually reach and surpass e-mail. For the time being, e-mail has retained its position as the preferred usage by a factor of three to one over the past few years. The numbers can change very quickly and email may win out in five years, or it may stay a minority usage for a long time. Only time will tell. In the meantime, you are in good company if you use e-mail. That's what I use.
Edit March 8, 2012:
I created a Google N-gram which compares instances of e-mail with email in the Google Books corpus between 1988 and 2008, and it does seem that e-mail hit a peak around 2004, and has been in decline since, though it remains significantly more common than email.
Curiously, when you look in the country-specific corpora, you find that the gap is wider in American English and narrower in British English:
American English
British English
Both are correct and common. I'd recommend the shorter and simpler email.
There seems to be a tendency to drop hyphen as a newly coined word becomes more and more commonplace:
That is what I've read earlier somewhere, and looking around I now found at least this quote by Donald Knuth to support the claim:
Even if you ignore that, overwhelming evidence seems to suggest that "email" is the form that everyone is likely to eventually settle upon (so you might just as well go with that now):
That said, if you deliberately want to sound ultra-formal or ceremonial, go with "electronic mail". :-)
I generally use "email". I think people who work with technology use "email" and people who write about it use "e-mail" (though this isn't a standard).
Google, Yahoo and Apple use "email". USAToday, CNN and the New York Times use "e-mail".
According to wikipedia: There are several spelling variations that occasionally prove cause for surprisingly vehement disagreement.
Read more on: Email
The New Oxford American Dictionary reports that the word is e-mail, but also email.
Wiktionary has a voice for e-mail where it's reported email as alternative spelling, and the following note:
Our tech magazine switched from e-mail to email (and from e-book to ebook) within the past year, over the vigorous opposition of the copy editors.
The copy editors' position was that e-mail preserves the special status of the "e" as the sole surviving remnant of an entire word (electronic), as do the spellings A-bomb ("A" for atomic), B-boy ("B" for break), C-section ("C" for cesarean), f-stop ("f" for focal), g-force ("g" for gravity), H-bomb ("H" for hydrogen). M-day ("M" for mobilization), n-type ("n" for negative), P-wave ("P" for pressure), R-value ("R" for resistance), and T-bill ("T" for Treasury). The only arguable exception to this pattern that I'm aware of (aside from the disputed email and ebook) is Xmas ("X" [standing in for chi] for Christ)--and that example has problems of its own, starting with the fact that it's a shortened form of a word that is already closed up).
The copy editors further argued that the vast majority of the 55 "e-" words that had shown up at least once in articles for our magazine over the previous ten years benefited from hyphenation as a way to clarify to readers that the words bore the sense "electronic." Here are some of those terms: e-banking, e-based, e-billing, e-book, e-card, e-census, e-commerce, e-crime, e-customers, e-dating, e-education, e-entertainment, e-filing, e-finance, e-government, e-health, e-ink, e-learning, e-lending, e-magazine [sometimes e-zine], e-money, e-music, e-newspaper, e-payments, e-privacy, e-reader, e-recycling [sometimes e-cycling], e-retailer [sometimes e-tailer], e-schools, e-services, e-shoppers, e-tax, e-ticketing, e-travel, e-voting, e-wallet, e-waste, e-work. As a matter of consistency, the copy editors argued, we should handle all "e-for-electronic" constructions the same way--and realistically that would mean hyphenating all of them, since no one was advocating for ebased, eeducation, eink, eretailer, or ewaste.
The countervailing argument was that spelling e-mail with a hyphen made us look old-fashioned, and that maintaining a broadly consistent approach to punctuation was overrated.
Here's a radical idea: Maybe all of these words of the G-man ("G" for government) type aren't "compound words" as we normally understand that term. Maybe instead they're a special class of contractions, with three distinguishing characteristics:
One point in favor of interpreting these words as contractions is that in their spelled-out form they are neither hyphenated nor closed up: cesarean section, electronic mail, hydrogen bomb. The same characteristic applies to he will, is not, and we had. One very strong argument against doing so is that, as Mr. Scott says, "It's never been done." In any event, contractions tend not to lose their identifying punctuation, which puts them on a very different footing from the nonce words (such as "soft-ware" and "bee-keeper") that other answerers have mentioned.
Using "email" is fine and probably more common in English, but do be aware that many languages that borrow from English only use "e-mail" because "email" is already a different word in Dutch, French, etc.
The famous computer scientist Donald Knuth wrote in 1990 (!):
Email (with no hyphen). See Thousands of hyphens perish as English marches on:
For personal use, both forms are perfectly acceptable. However, in professional use, check with your company to see if they have a style guide and what it says for email. My company specifies email as the "proper" use.
E-mail is short for "electronic mail." Usually for words of this form -- a compound word in which the first word is shortened to a single letter -- the hyphen remains. Compare, for example, U-boat.
I also think keeping the hyphen makes more sense given the pronunciation of the word: EE-mail, not em-AIL.
E-mail is still considered standard English in formal writing, but give it a few years, and email will probably take over.
I would go with email, e-mail is obsolete now from what I've seen. As J.R. points out in a comment, consistency is the key.
If you wanted to be absolutely sure, you could look at the recipient's website or business card and use the same version they do.
The entry in the OED is for email. My Internet company was involved in getting the OED online and I got to know the OED's Chief Editor. In 1997 I pleaded with him to change the entry to e-mail, because it's a shortened form of "electronic mail".
He said that the OED entry reflected what people used now which, back in 1997, had moved to email.
Time for a Google Fight!!! Okay, it would appear, surprisingly enough... that e-mail took round 1!!!
Yes, this issue is far from resolved, but I would go with e-mail if you're writing anything that will end up in print. In addition, everywhere in Outlook (an e-mail client) the word shows up as e-mail.
For now... "e-mail" appears to be the correct spelling.
AP Style is now email, with no hyphen. They made the announcement in March 2011.

Are there any herbs similar to or anything i can substitute marjoram with?
Marjoram is a type of Oregano, or rather it is from the Origanum family (origanum majorana, oregano is origanum vulgare). So oregano makes the closest substitute I find, though it is stronger, so use less, oregano is often called wild marjoram.
A great resource on spices is Gernot Katzer's website. The majoram page plus my own experience make me suggest sage (for the slightly bitter note) and thyme. I would not use oregano - to my Italian nose it smells very different.
Assuming you are just out of any types of marjorams (wild, oregano, otherwise) the spice coriander can be substituted in the less-herbal (where you would swing with sage) categories, i.e. poultry or eggs.
If you are adding marjoram to something with elements akin to smoked paprika, red pepper, here is where coriander comes in handy. I find it matches well with beef, venison, tomato particularly well. You need to tie the coriander's higher piques down though to emulate marjoram (which is more even in its notes); you can do this with thyme as suggested above, or maybe tarragon (though that can be pretty risky itself).
Not a close match, but sage can impart the same hint of smokiness, and I've used it from time to time.

This is a repeated question and I have followed both the suggestions provided in these StackOverflow links:
- How to log-out users using FaceBook connect in php and zend
- Trouble logging out of a FaceBook connect site and destroying sessions
The issue is - the code works 90% of the time. Thats the weird part. Out of the 100 times I've logged in and out - I've experienced this problem 5-6 times and 2 of my beta test users have reported the same issue.
So when it works- if u click the logout link - u get the facebook popup saying - you being logged out - when it does'nt work - absolutely nothing happens - the page does not refresh - it just sits on that page doing nothing.
This is the javascript code that gets called on clicking logout
function logout() { FB.Connect.get_status().waitUntilReady(function(status) { switch(status) { case FB.ConnectState.connected: FB.Connect.logoutAndRedirect("http://www.example.com/login/logout"); break; case FB.ConnectState.userNotLoggedIn: window.location = "http://www.example.com/login/logout"; break; } }); return false; }
This is the php code:
$this->_auth->clearIdentity(); $face = Zend_Registry::get('facebook'); $fb = new Facebook($face['appapikey'], $face['appsecret']); //$fb->clear_cookie_state(); $fb->expire_session();
Anyone experienced such sporadic issues. Thanks

GM Shares Roar Back to Old Levels
General Motors Co. GM -3.98 % shares eclipsed their $33 initial public offering price amid investor enthusiasm over its new vehicles and speculation the U.S. government may soon exit its ownership stake in the auto maker.
The Detroit auto maker rose 3.2% to $33.42 on Friday to close above its November 2010 IPO price for the first time since February 2011. The stock bottomed out after the IPO at $18.80 apiece in July 2012.
GM shares have risen nearly 16% for the year, just below the returns for the broader Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index,
Today, GM is riding a wave of strong U.S. economic news and auto sales, market share gains and profit in China, and a sense that the worst may be over in Europe. A University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey released Friday indicated that the desire to buy cars was at its highest since 2005.
Investors are betting that the share run-up above the IPO price could give the U.S. Treasury reason to accelerate its divestiture of the auto maker's shares.
As of April 1, U.S. taxpayers owned a 16.4% stake, or 241.7 million shares worth about $8.08 billion.
A Treasury sale would also help the auto maker return to the S&P 500 Index, which in turn would increase demand for the stock among mutual funds. GM was dropped from the index after it filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
A S&P spokesman said he couldn't comment on when or if GM will return to the index.
For the U.S. to break even on its GM bailout, it would need to sell the remaining shares at an average of about $79 a share.
The Treasury has said it intends to fully exit its GM investments by April 2014. By the end of March, the government had recovered $30.4 billion of the bailout funds GM received under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Last week, the company also took the wraps off its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups, drawing mostly positive reviews of the vehicles. The pair are GM's first all-new pickups in seven years. The launch of the new trucks should provide a burst of new revenue and profit.
In the past, new large pickups have represented a peak product cycle for GM, as these vehicles typically generate substantially more profit than smaller cars. Pickups generate a profit of $7,000 or more a sale.
Shares were also boosted by Friday's reports of a bigger-than-expected increase in consumer sentiment for May and by recent strong housing starts, which boost demand among contractors for new pickups.
A GM spokesman played down the milestone. "Our sights are set further down the road than a single day's closing price," he said.
Even as GM's shares rose, an investor frenzy surrounding luxury electric-car maker Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA 0.05 % show it still has a way to go to regain investor favor. Tesla shares have surged in the past several days after the company reported its first quarterly profit to give it a market value of $10.5 billion.
Tesla on Friday said it raised about $1 billion in fresh capital from the sale of common stock and notes. Its shares were off 76 cents at $91.49 at 4 p.m. trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. NDAQ 0.00 % The company said it would pay off $452 million in federal loan and use other proceeds to fund new models and international expansion.

5 Bizarre Ways Online Gaming Is Affecting the Real World
Every time there's a violent tragedy, we hear over and over that video games are to blame, leading everyone who has actually touched a joystick (or knows what that is) to automatically roll their eyes. Nope, video games aren't turning us into criminals -- the truth is much weirder.
It turns out that while you're going around innocently shooting zombies or running people over in colorful virtual worlds, other people are abusing the same games to plan actual murders, carry out Ponzi schemes, or finance kinky virtual red-light districts. Don't believe us? Then let us tell you about ...
#5. Second Life Player Builds $50,000 City for Cybersex
In the game Second Life, players are allowed to create their own content; they can design the body of the avatar they control, its clothing, its movement, its animation, and even the locations where it dwells. Enterprising players sell their work to others, and if you manage to create something thousands of users are willing to pay for, you can even make a living playing the game. It should be obvious at this point that we're talking about cartoon fucking.
Via Alucinogicofactoide
You're welcome. -Ed.
Second Life sex is a thriving industry. This is perhaps the only game that lists a steampunk-themed homoerotic sex club and an island devoted to having sex with anthropomorphic cows on its official website as "places of interest." This is possible thanks to the users who spend hours programming the animation for avatars having every conceivable type of sex, since that shit certainly doesn't come with the game. One such user is former plumber Kevin Alderman, who saw a need for a service and filled it with pixelated penises.
Via Alphavilleherald.com
Plus one very sad digital wig.
Alderman, using the pseudonym Stroker Serpentine (which sounds like Harry Potter's former teacher who can't go near a school anymore), created hundreds of animations of Second Life avatars performing lewd acts. Thousands of users each paid Alderman the equivalent of $46 in real-world money so they could pretend to have sex within the game, because sometimes chatting one-handed just doesn't cut it anymore.
So successful were these animations that when a teenager in Texas copied them and tried to sell them on his own, Alderman found the kid, brought him to court, and eventually obtained a settlement against him. But Alderman's biggest accomplishment was much more ambitious: He was also the creator of the sex capital of the virtual world, Second Life's Amsterdam. Using high-resolution photos of the real place, Alderman painstakingly recreated the city of Amsterdam, right down to the canals, the train stations, and the hookers.
Via Informationweek.com
Remember to use a proxy or you'll catch some malware.
The virtual city is populated by hundreds of shops (most of which specialize in sex toys for Second Life avatars), erotic nightclubs, and, yes, prostitutes soliciting visitors for cybersex. Was it worth all that effort? Well, in 2007, Alderman sold "Amsterdam" to a Dutch investment company for $50,000, because no matter if it's the real or the fake world, boners are always a good investment. So we're gonna go with "Unfortunately, yes."
#4. North Korea Gets Millions of Dollars Playing MMOs
Via Mmosite.com
Being insane can be terribly expensive, as Nicolas Cage's tax attorney and the nation of North Korea can tell you. That's why, in addition to their usual money-making schemes of currency counterfeiting and drug running, North Korea has turned to a new source of funding: video games. Let's put it this way: Have you ever bought in-game money from someone else while playing an MMO game because you couldn't be assed to go around collecting gold coins yourself? Then you may have helped further North Korea's nuclear program.
In 2011, South Korea accused its wacky northern neighbor of essentially using cheat codes to get rich. According to authorities, around 30 computer experts trained at elite North Korean science academies were released from government service and jobs at state-owned companies and put in contact with several Chinese and South Korean hackers. Working together, the uber-nerds were able to manipulate the servers of the most popular online games in South Korea, Lineage II and Dungeon Fighter, to get free, unlimited access.
Via Geek-woman.com
We're 100 percent positive that this is the way Kim Jong Il pictured himself.
So what was the plan? Getting lots of fake video game money. Once they were in, the government-sanctioned hackers programmed dozens of computers to autoplay the games around the clock, doing nothing but collecting gold. If you haven't played a game since the '80s, that's like if the USSR had gotten KGB agents to play Pac-Man all day to steal the top sco- actually, never mind, that probably happened for real.
The hackers then converted the fake currency into real-world money by selling it to lazy chumps through auction websites -- they managed to accumulate around $6 million this way, a significant part of which went back to the North Korean government's "slush fund." According to The New York Times, that fund was used to "help finance [Kim Jong Il's] nuclear weapons programs and to smuggle Rolex watches and other luxury goods, which he doles out to buy the allegiance of the party and the military elite."
So that's what all that sign burning was about -- pissed-off MMO players protesting cheating.
Of course, such a complex operation couldn't be carried out from someone's basement: The hackers had to travel to China for five months to set everything up and risked getting caught if anyone found out what they were doing. In fact, five South Koreans were arrested in 2011 for helping them. The North Korean government has denied any responsibility for these scams, telling South Korean authorities to "Shove the cheap gimmicks."

"No, we haven't been spending time in online games. Do I look like an online gamer to you? Why are you laughing?"
#3. Mobsters Are Using Games to Order Hits and Launder Money
Advancements like voice and text chatting within video games have allowed players to exchange maternal insults with people from all over the world. It's not all positive, though: If you're not careful about who you talk to, you may run into a criminal ordering a real-life murder. Seriously.
And if you don't stop slurping Mountain Dew so close to the mic, that murder may be yours.
According to journalist Misha Glenny, who has written for the BBC and The Guardian, Russian mobsters and South American drug cartels are using online games to carry out illegal activities such as money laundering right under our noses. As we alluded to above, every MMO has some form of internal currency: In World of Warcraft, it's gold; in Second Life, it's the Linden; and in Knights of the Old Republic, it's buyer's remorse. Countless transactions are carried out within these games every day and it would be impossible to monitor them all, a fact that gangs use to their advantage.
How? By using online games to launder and transfer funds around the world. Glenny's investigation uncovered the fact that Russian mobsters and Colombian drug lords are using dirty money to buy, for example, World of Warcraft gold and then transferring that gold to a player in another country. Then all the recipient has to do is convert the gold back into U.S. dollars and the transaction is complete. Some crooks hire entire tech teams and use hundreds of accounts, all dedicated to successfully moving cash through online games.
"Sir, you'll have the cash as soon as the PS3 finishes updating."
But it gets worse: According to leaked documents from U.S. agencies, international gangs are also using the voice chatting features in consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to talk with each other and even order murders overseas. The documents specifically mention that "MS-13 members may have used this communications tactic to order at least one murder ... as well as the murder of a possible witness." It's unclear whether the hits were carried out with katanas and jet packs.
Or by an X-Files team of supervillains.
This whole thing may sound alarmist as shit, but when you think about it, it makes sense: These days, phone calls, emails, and text messages can be easily monitored, but no one's paying attention to the verbal exchanges that are going on within video games (mostly because they can barely be considered verbal). Honestly, why wouldn't gangsters use online games to communicate? Other than the fact that they might run into people who are even more devious than themselves, which brings us to ...

I need to find location of the point $s_0$; the locations of other three points ($s_1$, $s_2$, $s_3$) are known. $d_i$ are known distances.
Given: $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$, $y_1$, $y_2$, $y_3$, $d_1$, $d_2$, $d_3$
To be found: $x_0$, $y_0$
This will be a physical system. $s_i$ will be fixed antennas and the distances $d_i$ will be read via proximity sensors. The aim will be to make $s_0$ find its own location. So, $s_0$ will always exist; there will always be a unique solution point $s_0:(x_0, y_0)$.
How do I solve this problem?

Problem: Suppose that $f:S^n\to S^n$ is a mapping from the n-dimensional sphere ($n\geq 3$) into itself which maps circles into (instead of onto) circles. Can we say that f maps (n-1)-dimensional spheres into (n-1)-dimensional spheres?
Here, we make no any other assumption on f, e.g. continuity, injectivity, surjectivity, and so on. Circle is in the ordinary sense, i.e. round circle (or say 1-sphere), not necessarily great circle.
Note that neither of two "into"s in assumptions means "onto".

Chapter Eight: Reflection
Tyren wandered slowly down the busy street. Sleek speeders rushed overhead, and bulkier traffic formed long lines high above the towering buildings. All kinds of life forms made their way down the busy avenue. Twileks, chiss, humans, rodians. All so very busy, all with important things to do.
But Tyren was in no hurry. He stared in long amazement at the huge buildings, craning his neck to see their tops. And standing on his tiptoes, Tyren could just make out a lone, shining spire in the distance. A quick thrill ran through Tyren, and goose bumps began to form on his skin.
Tyren shook slightly with glee, clutching his tunic. He couldnt wait to see the rest of the building, it was his favorite. Tyren had seen the building several times in passing, but today was the day he was going to get to go inside.
Daddy, hurry up! Tyren called to his father, who was purchasing a snack for the two.
A grin came over the face of Tyrens father as he spoke to his son, Okay buddy, Ill be right there!
Tyrens father paid the vendor, and then walked over to his son. The man knelt down on one knee next to Tyren, and handed him a piping turnover.
Are you ready to go see the Academy?
Tyren bobbed his head up and down vigorously, his cheeks bulging with food.
Yes Daddy! He answered enthusiastically.
Okay then, son. Lets go. Tyrens father answered.
Tyren felt two strong hands grasp his waist and he was lifted upward swiftly. Tyrens legs dangled freely as his father brought him above his head. Sitting on top of his fathers shoulders, Tyren felt that he could see the whole world. A vast expanse lay before him, stretching far and wide. Glistening metal buildings shone in the distance, rising like ancient guardians over Coruscant.
Tyren could now see the building that excited him so. And he could just make out a small spaceship on a pedestal at the entrance; it was red and white, and looked really, really fast.
A bright grin came over the childs face, and he stretched his arms out wide, flying.
Tyren awoke with a start. Quickly trying to sit up, he slammed his helmeted head against a root. A sharp cry arose from his mouth as he slowly realized where he was. Looking down, or up, rather, Tyren could see that he was still strapped into his Aurek, or at least what was left of it. Extending an arm to brace himself, Tyren unclipped the straps that held him in the decimated fighter. Wiggling his legs out, Tyren crumpled to the ground.
Squirming his way through the dirt, under the crashed Aurek, Tyren slowly crawled out. Standing up, the pain hit Tyren. His back ached horribly, sending a throbbing sensation up his spine. Tyrens legs were also extremely sore. Being scrunched in the small cockpit upside-down for hours had taken a toll on his body.
Have to get away Tyren rasped, panicking slightly, breath rapid.
With a spasm of pain, Tyren immediately fell back to the ground, and gasped. He lay on his hands and knees, coughing inconsistently. Saliva sputtered out onto the sand below. Then Tyren collapsed, and rolled over onto his back, his face a grimace.
With trembling fingers, Tyren unstrapped his helmet, and let it fall on the sand.
The blazing sun overhead scorched Tyren, sending a burning sensation across his face. Tyrens lips were parched and dry, he was extremely thirsty.
Ive got to get some water Tyrens voice faded, and his hand went to his forehead. Theres a lake right behind me Im better than this.
Tyren dug his elbows into the sand, and slowly sat up, glancing around. Aside from his wrecked fighter, an extremely placid scene lay before him. A golden sand ring wound around the deep blue lake, surrounded by blossoming deciduous trees. Cumulus clouds towered in the distance, rising like citadels above the horizon.
Slowly standing up, Tyren walked clumsily over to the waters edge, and lowered his cupped hands.
Tyrens hands rose back up to his lips, water cascading over his fingers. He drank deeply of the water, quenching his thirst. After a drink that came too quickly, he sputtered into a fit of coughing once more.
After recovering, Tyren bent towards the water to drink straight from the lake. He stopped short, seeing his reflection. The dirty and soiled, wild-haired, human reflection surprised Tyren. Looking himself over, Tyren saw that he was in pretty bad shape. He rose once more, and cast off his survival vest. Next, Tyren ripped off his scorched, bloody flight suit, and threw it over his shoulder. Then, he sank to the ground, and quickly removed his boots and fireproof socks.
Standing back up, he waded into the water and fell down. The water was shockingly cold , and chilled Tyren to the bone. Tyren quickly waddled back out of the water, sopping wet, and put his boots and socks back on, shivering.
Tyren knew that he did not have long. His ship had already been there for several hours, and it was only a matter of time before some Mandalorian scout discovered it.
Gathering up his survival vest, Tyren removed his WKL-55 blaster pistol from its holster. Tyren checked the pistol over, and determined that it was most certainly functional. Strapping his vest back on, Tyren holstered the pistol, making a point to leave the holster open.
Tyren pulled out his emergency locator, and stared at it thoughtfully. He could activate it now, and the Republic would be able to pinpoint exactly where he was at. But so would the Mandalorians. If he activated it now, Tyren was almost sure that the Mandalorians would get to him first. So Tyren placed it back in his vest, patting the pocket.
Tyren now had several options. He could try to get the damaged Aurek into the lake, where it would be difficult to spot, immediately put some distance between himself and the crash site, or at least make it look like he died in the crash.
Tyren decided to try and horribly burn the Aurek. Tyren knew that this would undoubtedly mean that the fighter would be found more quickly. But, he reasoned that the fighter was going to be found relatively quickly no matter what. And Tyren decided that he would be willing to trade some time for the chance that the Mandalorians would assume his death. Plus, the fuel that the Aurek burned produced no smoke, a quality which increased the stealth of the fighter and also gave Tyren an advantage.
Dashing up to the fighter, he bent down, searching for the fuel panel. Tyren opened the badly scratched panel, hoping that not quite all of his fuel had jettisoned in his approach over the lake. There it was, still 27 kilograms of fuel. Hardly enough to propel a ship anywhere, but certainly enough to start a decent sized fire. Looking around for something to hold the fuel in, Tyren saw his helmet. It was the one hed had since flight school, and had personally decorated.
With a sigh, he grabbed the helmet, and began to rip the inside liners out of it. Helmet in hand, Tyren steadied it under a fuel sump. With a small but sturdy twig, Tyren shoved the fuel sump open. Thick blue, syrupy fuel began to spew out of the opening, slowly filling up Tyrens flight helmet. Once full, Tyren removed the twig, and quickly went around to the cockpit. Squeezing under, Tyren sloshed the fuel up in and around the inverted cockpit. Canopy glass littered the ground. Tyren was surprised that he hadnt cut himself exiting the spacecraft.
This routine was performed rapidly several times, until all of the remaining fuel was depleted. Then, Tyren gathered up his flight suit and helmet, and shoved them up into the cockpit, trying to give as much evidence as he could that he had died in the crash. Closing the external panels on the ship, Tyren realized that hed also have to get rid of his tracks in the sand.
Tyren then swept up all of the tracks that he had left around the area, ending knee deep in the lake.
Finally, Tyren pulled out a flare. With slight hesitation, he unwrapped it from the foil covering and ignited it. Tyren looked at the flare in his hand, and back at the Aurek. With a look of sheer disappointment on his face, he tossed the flare toward the wreckage.
Bright orange flames shot up around the Aurek, scorching the once red and white fighter. Tyren made sure that the whole thing was on fire, and then turned away. He couldnt bear to look at his burning ship.
As Tyren pulled out his aqua rebreather, he could feel the heat from the fire on his back. Tyren waded further into the lake, the cold water sending a tingling sensation through his whole body.
Tyren disappeared beneath the surface of the smooth lake, glowing with the reflection of the burning Aurek.

First, tried from WUBI (Windows installer), all went fine, dual-boot worked, but as soon as Ubuntu boots, it freezes - even before the Login screen is fully loaded. I have tried installing via USB with LinuxLive USB Creator, but had the same exact issue.

Our Philosophy &
Designed to prepare students for academic planning and the summer internship, BaseCamp focuses on providing pathways to understanding an integrated view of business.
MBA students will kick off their academic experience with a unique, month-long orientation program called BaseCamp, where they will begin planning for academics at the Tepper School as well as their career planning with a focus on the summer internship interviewing process.
The impressive scope of BaseCamp is marked by depth and breadth of knowledge. Unlike many B-school orientations, BaseCamp does not focus on campus directions, lockers and meet-and-greets (although students do get plenty of exposure to their new home). Rather, our aim is to help students quickly acclimate, so that academic and career planning is accelerated. There are workshops, networking sessions with fellow classmates, faculty and alumni along with several "Integrated View Of Business" sessions that detail how the fundamental disciplines integrate in business environments.
We're the smallest of the Top 15 B-schools, and one of the many advantages of our small size is that everybody will know you (and vice versa). From professors to classmates, you will be known as a key member of our community.
While we like numbers, we don't think our students should be treated like one. There are no cohorts and no large auditoriums of hundreds of students. Alongside the networking, BaseCamp sessions on ethics, diversity and working in teams, as well as off-site team building activities and community service projects.
We believe leadership and communication are valuable assets for leveraging the rare ability to address complex, unprecedented business issues. Beginning with BaseCamp and continuing throughout each mini-semester, the Accelerate Leadership Program, hosted by the coaches and team with our Accelerate Leadership Center, will guide you. Their goal is to strengthen your leadership and communication skills through personalized leadership assessments, training workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, and by providing a framework for you to develop and execute a personalized leadership action plan.

The Jacobson-Morozov theorem that any nilpotent $e$ in the lie algebra of a simple algebraic group $G$ can be embedded in an $sl_2$-triple, has a restriction (in terms of the coxeter number) on the characteristic of the underlying field (assumed to be algebraically closed). This restriction is also required for the "uniqueness" of the triple, up to $C_G(e)$-action. (This result is due to Kostant). In his 1980 paper, Pommerening had removed the restriction on the characteristic in Jacobson-Morozov's theorem, up to very small exceptions (i.e.,characteristic is "bad"). Does the uniqueness as in Kostant's result also hold with this weaker restriction? If it does, then where does Jacobson-Morozov along with uniqueness result of Kostant fail in positive characteristics?
The uniqueness can break down very badly in positive characteristic. Supose $G=SL_p$ where $p$ is the characteristic of the base field. Take a regular nilpotent element $e$ in $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}_p$. Then there is a nilpotent element $f\in\mathfrak{g}$ such that $e$, $f$ and $h=[e,f]$ form an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple with the property that $h^p=h$. Note that the identity matrix $I$ is in $\mathfrak{g}$. It is easy to see that there is $f_0\in\mathfrak{g}$ such that $[e,f_0]=I$ (many lecturers find this fact useful when explaining that Lie's theorem can fail in characteristic $p$). Let $\lambda$ be a scalar such that $\lambda^p\ne \lambda$. Since $h$ commutes with $I$ and $ad\ h$ is semisimple, we may assume further that $[h,f_0]=-2f_0$. Then $(e,h+\lambda I, f+\lambda f_0)$ is another $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple containing $e$. If the spans $\mathfrak{s}_1$ and $\mathfrak{s}_2$ of the triples are conjugate under $G$, then restricting the $p$-dimensional vector representaion of $\mathfrak{sl}_p$ to $\mathfrak{s}_1$ and $\mathfrak{s}_2$ we would get equivalent representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. However, the representation we get from $\mathfrak{s}_1$ is restricted whereas the one we get from $\mathfrak{s}_2$ is not. So the triples are not conjugate under $C_G(e)$. One can replicate this example inside any Lie algebra of a reductive group $\widetilde{G}$ whch contains $G$ as a closed subgroup.
Sasha has answered concisely the basic question here with a counterexample involving Lie type $A$, where all primes are good but need not be very good (meaning that $p$ should not divide $n$ for $\mathrm{SL}_n$).
At the risk of being less concise, let me add some wider perspective to the question by asking why one wants a result like Jacobson-Morozov in the first place? For a semisimple Lie or algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, the Lie algebra reflects quite well a lot of the group structure; it is also semisimple and doesn't depend on the isogeny class of the group. So the Lie algebra and the adjoint action of the group of it (or its adjoint action on itself) becomes a basic tool in further study of structure such as nilpotent orbits or in the study of representations, often simplifying matters.
In prime characteristic the classification of the groups (in the Borel-Chevalley theory) leads to much the same list as in characteristic 0, but the Lie algebras can behave badly: for some simple groups, the Lie algebra fails to be simple, and the structure of the Lie algebra can vary with isogeny type. As noted in the question and in Sasha's example, attempts to imitate Jacobson-Morosov embedding (with suitable uniqueness up to conjugacy) run into problems in certain characteristics. Often the embeddings into simple 3-dimensional subalgebras do exist, but under some restrictions on the prime or on the degree of nilpotency of the given nilpotent element: see for instance Carter's 1985 book, section 5.3.
Chevalley himself largely abandoned Lie algebra methods in his classification seminar, but later work (for instance in Hogeweij's old Utrecht thesis) at least clarifies the precise structure of all the Lie algebras coming from simple algebraic groups. And in representation theory, Jantzen presents in his book Representations of Algebraic Groups a scheme-theoretic substitute for the Lie algebra in the form of Frobenius kernels. The classification of unipotent classes and nilpotent orbits (along with centralizers) has been developed carefully over the years in all characteristics: see the recent AMS monograph by Liebeck and Seitz. Substitutes in the algebraic group setting for Jacobson-Morozov are worked out in the many papers by George McNinch and Donna Testerman, former students of Seitz. Much can be done, though it gets more sophisticated and uses more algebraic geometry.
In good characteristic (excluding the primes 2, 3, 5 for some Lie types) the basic idea of Jacobson-Morosov survives in the treatment of Pommerening, which was done largely to make the Bala-Carter classification more uniform. It's always worth asking what use is to be made of the Lie algebra in prime characteristic. Certainly in characteristic 2 the idea of using $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ triples gets less interesting.

Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Generally speaking, that's all there is to it. Seriously.
Don't believe me? Check out Phil Sturgeon's Don't Be A Dick license (as well as the WTFPL that inspired it).
That said, it's hit or miss whether software licenses are legally enforceable, even if a lawyer wrote them (at least in the US, and it depends almost entirely on the whim of the judge or ruling copyright authority). More generally, though, as the software author, you are already covered by your country's copyright laws (assuming you've taken the steps for your work to be copyrighted; in the US, that's simply actually making the work).
It boils down to what you want to accomplish with your license, above and beyond (or in lieu of) copyright laws. In the case of such licenses like Phil's DBaD license, it's largely a matter of the honor principle and mutual respect of one another.
If you want it to be legally enforceable (or at least have a chance of doing so), such as releasing a closed-sourced product, then you'll very likely want to talk to a lawyer. That way, you can make sure there aren't any glaring loopholes and can have it written in such a way that a judge/ruling party is more likely to rule in your favor in the event that someone does violate it.
EllisLab (the company behind CodeIgniter) has a great explanation of software licensing (and entire week of blogs on the matter, in fact), both from a legal standpoint, and from the standpoint of a FLOSS developer and the honor principle I mentioned above.
(Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legally binding advice, blah, blah, blah. I'm just a developer who's had to tip-toe around the legal minefield that is software development and licensing. When in doubt, talk to someone who actually is a lawyer, ideally with a copyright, patent, and/or licensing focus.)
Answer the following questions for the user of your software:
Study other licenses, and see how they have answered these questions.
It is actually surprisingly similar to what developers do:
You give a lawyer (or the legal department in a large corp) a list of requirements for what the license permits and what it does not permit (e.g. the license is for one user only, it's temporary, you cannot use the software for some purposes, etc.) and they "translate" this into lawyer-speak, pretty much like we translate requirements into code.
For example, "the license is for one user only" is usually translated into the something similar to this: "FooCorp Inc. grants you a single, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use FooSoftware for ...".
You might think this doesn't apply to F/OSS licenses, but it's more or less the same, except the requirements are different: you can find the simplest version of these requirements at http://opensource.org/docs/OSD.
But the lawyer part is essential and there's no point in trying to write a license by yourself (unless you're a lawyer with a lot of experience in IP-related and international law). Someone will just find a convenient loophole, which will allow him to use your product in a way he pleases (I'd go as far to compare this to exploits).
Of course I do not claim this explanation to be complete or even correct, but it's a rough sketch of the process, as far as software developers are involved (therefore I compare it to a programmer's work).
To answer your question, anyone can write a license - and it shows!
Those of us who use software to build things and actually try to respect each license are ready to gouge our own eyeballs out with a hot poker every time someone talks about making new one. There are already an uncountable number of software licenses in the world. 99% of them are a near duplicates of existing, more popular licenses, except not as well thought out.
One site I contribute to has a home-grown creative-commons non-commercial attribution type license, except it says nothing about derivative works. Are they allowed? Can they be distributed under the same license? Beats me!
If other people contribute to a project and you ever want or need to change the license, you need to get them all to agree to change the license, or you are more-or-less stuck with it forever. Some of them might become unreachable or even die. I am not a lawyer, but if you don't have a signed contributor agreement from everyone that lets you make decisions about your license, I think you are SOL.
It's really hard to write a good license. Even the best software licenses are full of holes. There are new versions of the Apache and GPL licenses periodically. Please, see if you can find a license which meets 90% of your needs and use it. The GPL Linking Exception or "Classpath Exception" is a great example of this. I'm a little worried about the statement the Hibernate people had on their site a few years, basically publicly mis-interpreting the GPLv2 to make it sound like it included the Classpath Exception. Is that the classpath exception? We won't know unless someone sues them.
It seems to me that getting sued is the most painful way to debug your license. If you use a license that people have sued-over already, there is a certain assurance that it works, and also a sense of how it works. Better yet, pick a license that has been to court in different countries. Did you think about how your license would be interpreted in other parts of the world?
If you base your license off an existing one, then people who care about fulfilling the terms of your license might not have to study it for years to figure out exactly what it means.
If at all possible, I would encourage you to devote your energies and talents to improving an existing license rather than writing a new one.
Sorry to be such a kill-joy. If I'm bitter, it's because I really read and try to respect people's licenses before I use their works.
Write down the terms, publish it with your software. That's it.
One question, however, is why do you want to? It is not unlikely that whatever conditions you wish to add are already present in another commonly-used licence.
This adds a preliminary step - check whether you actually have to create a licence.
It is also likely that some of the conditions you wish to enforce are flawed in some way; adding another preliminary step - read around about the "unique" terms you want to apply. Someone else is likely to have tried such terms, and found them unenforceable, or counterproductive in some way.

Author James Patterson sent autographed copies of his latest children's novel, "Treasure Hunters," to the eight SUNY Geneseo students awarded James Patterson Teacher Education Scholarships this year, pictured here with the dean of the Ella Cline Shear School of Education. Front row (l to r): Marissa Liberati; Jessica Stoneham; Melissa Bellonte; and Kelsey Horan. Back row (l to r): Hannah Pettengill; Kristen Bondi; Dean Anjoo Sikka; Haley Hilgenberg; and Ashley Hark.
GENESEO, N.Y. – Best-selling author James Patterson has created a scholarship program at SUNY Geneseo's Ella Cline Shear School of Education to support aspiring teachers in promoting the importance of literacy in education.
This year, eight graduate students earning a master's degree in literacy received a $6,000 James Patterson Teacher Education Scholarship. Next year, the Patterson Family Foundation will award the scholarships to full-time incoming freshmen intending to seek teacher certification, with the possibility of renewal through graduation.
"I've been looking to bring these scholarships to more schools, and after studying a number of institutions and programs, I found Geneseo to be a great addition," said Patterson, a highly popular mystery writer who also has written books for young readers. "My passion is to get more and more kids excited about reading, and training the next generation of great teachers is essential to that mission."
All of the Geneseo scholarship recipients this year are from New York: Melissa Bellonte (Avon); Kristen Bondi (Dansville); Ashley Hark (Dalton); Hayley Hilgenberg (Falconer); Kelsey Horan (Endicott); Marissa Liberati (Manchester); Hannah Pettengill (Bloomfield); and Jessica Stoneham (Corfu). Hark, Hilgenberg, Horan, Liberati and Stoneham received their undergraduate degrees at Geneseo.
Patterson sent each scholarship recipient an autographed copy of his latest children's novel, "Treasure Hunters," and included a personalized note, stating that he was "thrilled that future teachers like you will help instill a lifelong love of reading in children."
"We are very honored that James Patterson has included Geneseo in his literacy initiative," said Anjoo Sikka, dean of the School of Education. "Exciting kids about books and reading is crucial to their success as readers, thinkers and keen observers and, ultimately, to become self-actualized and effective participants in our society. The scholarships will help us attract talented students with the kind of passion that drives Mr. Patterson. I sincerely commend him for his vision and am grateful for his contribution to the preparation of literacy teachers at SUNY Geneseo."
Geneseo's Patterson Scholarship recipients were selected on the basis of academic performance and an essay describing how they would apply what they have learned to help children develop a lifelong passion for reading. Applications were reviewed by a committee of faculty led by Susan Salmon, assistant professor and coordinator of graduate programs in the School of Education.
"Reading comes first," said Liberati, who excelled both in and out of the classroom during her undergraduate years as a Geneseo student-athlete. "It is the compass by which we explore and map all other literacies – digital or not – and only by reading can we and our students become and continue to be lifelong learners."
Liberati earned All-American honors in cross country and track and field. She also was on the NCAA Division III All-Academic Team in cross country in both 2009 and 2010.
"This scholarship is so much more than money to help me pay for my education," said Hilgenberg, who completed her student teaching in Ghana, West Africa. "It shows that someone is rewarding my hard work and believing in my potential. It's one of the greatest acts of kindness."
Other recipients expressed similar sentiments about the power such scholarships have as a catalyst for success.
"As a future educator, I believe that it is not only my job to teach students how to read and write; it is my responsibility to teach them to love to read and write," said Pettengill. "By opening a book, you can go on an adventure. Those small letters on the page take you to places you've never been and give you experiences you've never had."
Patterson is among the most successful authors in history. He is the first to achieve 10 million ebook sales and has had more books ranked first on The New York Times best-seller list than any other author. He also is the current best-selling author in the young-adult and middle-grade categories and promotes reading through his website ReadKiddoRead.com.
SUNY Geneseo is firmly rooted in education, opening in 1871 as the Geneseo Normal and Training School. In 1948, the Geneseo Normal and Training School became a part of the State University of New York. The teachers colleges of SUNY became Colleges of Arts and Sciences in 1962, and two years later, Geneseo's four-year degree programs in arts and sciences were implemented. SUNY Geneseo's Department of Education was reorganized as a School of Education in 1992.
The School of Education today has 25 full-time and five part-time faculty members, who are preparing more than 700 students to be teachers. The school offers undergraduate programs leading to initial teacher certification in Early Childhood and Childhood, Childhood, Childhood with Special Education, and Adolescence Education. Graduate programs that could lead to professional certification are offered in Early Childhood and Childhood, Multicultural Childhood Education, Literacy (B-12) and Adolescence Education.
Among the school's numerous success stories are the accomplishments of Geneseo alumnus Matthew A. Rozell, who teaches history at Hudson Falls (N.Y.) High School. He earned his master's degree in education from Geneseo in 1988 after receiving a bachelor's degree in history from the college. The Geneseo Alumni Association named Rozell Educator of the Year for 2013.
Rozell's alumni educator award from Geneseo is among several honors he has earned during his career, including the prestigious National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Mary S. Lockwood Medal for Education. The medal honors outstanding achievement through service and leadership in promoting education outside the formal educational process. He also has been recognized as a leader in World War II and Holocaust history through several projects he initiated that have received national attention.
"Entering the teaching profession in many ways is to answer a higher calling," said Rozell. "The Patterson Teacher Education Scholarships increase the options for our best and brightest to enter the field of teaching and represent a commitment to continuing to produce the caliber of teachers that Geneseo is renowned for. There is no higher mission."

[Riyadh, Saudi Arabia] -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recently announced plans to encourage women to seek job opportunities in the manufacturing sector. Women are encouraged to pursue careers in technological, automotive, and other industrial sectors.
Over the past two decades, the percentage of Saudi women in the workforce has grown from just 1% to 7%. This number is expected to increase at an accelerated rate. Today, over 55% of university students are female. Saudi women own 22,466 businesses in the Kingdom, representing about 20% of the total. They are active members and enjoy equal rights in the Saudi Chambers of Commerce, including the right to vote in the Chambers elections.
On September 7, 2001, Saudi Arabia became a party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Crown Prince Abdullah has said: "We will allow no one, whoever they are, to undermine her [woman] or marginalize her active role in serving her religion and country", and believes that women should be allowed to contribute fully to society and take part in dialogue over their future.
The decision to encourage women to pursue careers in new sectors follows recent announcements regarding plans for economic reforms in the Kingdom.
