Jackets get key win vs. Canton
CANTON — It was a play that made you scratch your head when it happened, but showed how much faith a coach can have in both a player and a defense.
The Gilbert-Northwestern football team owned a two-touchdown lead on Canton in a key Pequot West Division game midway through the third quarter Saturday afternoon, but the Warriors had just scored their first points on a 60-yard drive and looked good doing it.
The Yellowjackets faced a fourth-and-5 at their own 41-yard line. Punting seemed the prudent thing to do, but G-N quarterback John Lippincott, also the punter, had options.
"He has two plays we can run at that point," coach Scott Salius explained. "One is he can pass if he sees something he likes or he can just punt. It's his call."
Lippincott picked the former, but his pass fell incomplete when receiver Seth Dayton slipped, giving the ball back to a Can-

ton team that was starting to rev up its engine anyway.
Canton promptly drove to the 12, but running back Dan Delos fumbled and the visitors took over on the 10.
On the next play, Tony Ortiz broke countless tackles on his way to a 90-yard touchdown run that stifled any chance of a comeback by the home team and led to a 28-15 win for G-N.
Ortiz ended the day with a pair of scores, the near length-of-the-field scoot and a 17-yard pass catch from Lippincott, and 297 yards rushing.
The Yellowjackets (5-1) have another tough one next week when they host rival Avon. But Salius has pure faith in his defense's ability to make something happen.
"If we give them the ball at midfield, I know our defense is good enough to stop them," Salius said. "Lippincott has my trust on that (fake punt)."
Canton lines up in a double-wing set and dares a defense to get past its fairly large offensive line. Hard-running backs Terrance Brophy (19 carries, 126 yards), Sebastian Gumbs (15-84) and Delos (13-68) ground up yards, but Ortiz outgained all three.
Teams have figured out to key on Ortiz, but still have a hard time dealing with him, especially when he gets to the second level, where he can be a nightmare. On the 90-yard run, at least three players had a shot to get him to the ground, starting in the backfield.
But his ability to pull away, shake tackles and keep his balance make him a special running back.
Lippincott scored twice, once from 3 yards out, the second from 5 and hit Ortiz in the end zone in the second quarter for the game's first points.
Canton won the turnover battle, 4-2, but could not capitalize on its early momentum as the Yellowjackets dug in on defense, throwing a shutout in the first half.
Up 14-0, the visitors took the second-half kickoff and watched Ortiz break off a 49-yard run that led to the second Lippincott TD and a 20-0 lead.

What's On Your Mind?
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
My son split up with the mother of his young child. They were together for over four years, but never married. She began a relationship with another one of my sons before she and my granddaughter moved out of their home, and she continues to have a relationship with him, the brother of her child's father. This has caused terrible emotional and spiritual upset in our family. We all have been devastated by this situation. We spoke to a priest and tried counseling, but the difficulty in dealing with the dishonesty, betrayal, lack of loyalty and the brokenness of our family seems to leave everyone with no answers or hope of resolving the hurt. Being told they are adults does not ease my pain. I am very worried for my grandchild and my sons. In my lifetime I have seen Catholic family values slipping away. I know I must pray, but also would like reassurance that I am doing the right thing not acknowledging or accepting this relationship as something good. I have one son who has been hurt deeply, feel I have lost my other son and believe this will not be an ideal or beneficial situation for my grandchild. Any thoughts or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks and God Bless
Unknown...I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. I can't imagine the heartbreak. I don't have any words of advice, but I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
Thanks for your prayers Allison
I'm in a bit of a funk because of the election. It feels like no one believes in family values or building community life anymore. I don't want to get into a debate about politics, and I know that God is the Lord of History, but I feel sucker punched nonetheless. Who has tips for getting over it?
Jane-- I understand where you are coming from. Yesterday I took solace in a google search finding out that St. Joseph is the patron of the Universal Church. I also found out that there is a 30 day novena to him. I started it today praying for the conversion of souls and for our Church. St. Joseph is a powerful intercessor.
I'm a little exasperated...Every once in a while I'll check out articles on ncregister.com and other Catholic news sources. I'll read the comments section too (something I should not do). In these comments I've noticed that as Catholics we are so divided and critical of each other. In one instance, there were those who are critical of the US Bishops not doing their job. In other instances, Catholic comments vilified help to the poor. As Catholics, aren't we supposed to exhibit obedience and corporal works of mercy?
Thanks for the commiseration, Alis. I'm not always certain the commenters at the Register are even Catholic. Can't speak about their news articles, but at least their bloggers seem to have a lot of atheists who come over to debate. Which is healthy, I guess, but I agree that it gets exasperating when you can't have a pleasant, civilized discussion even at a "Catholic," site.
Today this first comment is my third story I have heard about Catholics who divorced or betrayed each other. And everyone can see it is so often nowadays. Jesus's blood may cure these wounds of our Catholic Church. And let show the world that the Sacrament of Holy Marriage can lead us through financial or human difficulties. In situations when both you and your husband say no, God still says YES. WIth prayers and love Monika (wife of Peter, and mother of 4 children so far)

Why do I never seem to get a clear picture of the sky during the day, even with white puffy clouds in the sky? It always looks over exposed and whitened out? I am using a Nikon D3100, no lens hood, manual setting.
This is normal because in the day time, the sky is usually the brightest part of the scene.
If you lower the exposure by applying negative exposure compensation, your sky will get darker and more blue. This will cause other elements in the image to darken and some may end under-exposed. This is because a change in exposure is global.
What you need is to change the relative brightness of the sky compared to the foreground using one of these techniques:
The sky is being overexposed as it's brighter than your subject.
Try positioning your subject where the sun is behind you so that it's getting a lot of light and will be better balanced with the sky. If you find the lighting on your subject to be flat or too bright for a model (he/she is squinting) then you should use a flash to light your subject and balance it with the brightness of the sky.
For a more technical approach Highlight Tone Priority/Active D-Lighting (Canon/Nikon) could help with this to some degree. Don't expect any wonders; capturing the image as suggested by the other answeres is the better solution, but if you don't have a choice you could at least give this feature a try.
It tries to preserve highlights, to my knowledge by taking the photo at one stop below what you choose (by alterting the ISO), and then extrapolate to what you chose, while applying a non-linear tone curve to save detail in the highlights. Naturally this will most importantly make you shadows suffer.
As another more technical tip you should also consider shooting in RAW and working with the 'Recovery' (that's what Lightroom calls it at least) slider in post-processing. That wont work of course if the sky is completely blown out (i.e. 255,255,255 RGB values).
I am relative newbie to photography, so take this advice with a pinch of salt, but I find when I accidentally use a high ISO during the day my skies come out really white, I guess as the light sensitivity is too high. Therefore I always keep my ISO as low as possible even when it is cloudy and I think this is helping reduce blown skies.
White clouds - if it is continuous cloud cover - is just about one of the worst environments to get a nicely exposed image because it is actually quite bright.
If you have an image with a large dynamic range you need to decide what is more important to you - highlights and shadows and hence over or underexpose appropriately. In the case of white clouds I would personally underexpose a bit - try 1/3rd stop or maybe 2/3rd of a stop.
In the end, trial and error is best.
Side note: The problem here is that camera sensors read light intensity on a linear scale while human eyes use a logarithmic scale. The "range of values" is significantly larger for the sensor than for the human eye. The dynamic range you see, the camera cannot. (At the moment; apparently some Red cameras are getting close or better than it by now.)

Other Voices: Voice Picking is calling. Is your DC listening?
February 22, 2012
Editor's Note: The following column by Chuck Fuerst, Director of Product Strategy, HighJump Software is part of Modern's new Other Voices column. The series, published on Wednesdays, will feature ideas, opinions and insights from end users, analysts, systems integraters and OEMs. Click on the link to learn about submitting a column for consideration.
*** *** **
The global recession still has many businesses reeling and searching for additional cost-cutting projects. In 2011 many businesses turned to their supply chain as an area to achieve greater efficiency with an eye towards cost cutting. As such, voice picking received more attention, but in the end, we still saw lower adoption rates than we were expecting. Could 2012 be the year for voice?
Momentum could be building. More widespread acceptance of speech recognition technology is helping to fuel this momentum. Consumers have grown more comfortable with speech recognition technology, from speech recognition apps on our smart phones or cars with increasing levels of "talking electronics," speech recognition technology is more widespread than ever. The technology continues to improve as well; including advances in microphones that can filter out background noise and better voice recognition capabilities. Combine technology advancements with strong competitive pressures and thinning margins, it is no wonder that more and more companies are moving voice solutions to the top of their wish lists.
Keeping the customer happy with fast and efficient service has always been a priority, but within today's distribution center providing great service is paramount. Mistakes in picking can be very costly, both in terms of returns processing as well as the ultimate penalty, customer defection. This is where voice technology shines, enabling warehouse staff to listen and respond to instructions via a headset, freeing their hands to pick more efficiently and accurately. By increasing your worker productivity, voice technology can help you minimize dock-to-shelf times while helping you optimize your inventory-processing capacity.
For companies with a diverse workforce, most speech recognition applications provide supplemental processing or translation of the inputted information before it's sent to the client from the application. This can provide multilingual capabilities, allowing each worker to listen and respond to commands in their native language, letting them work more comfortably without impeding the process flow.
So why hasn't voice been implemented in more many distribution centers? The most common misconception is that it's cost-prohibitive, both as a capital expenditure and operating expense. The first wave of voice implementations were known for being expensive and time consuming investments, leading most to think they were only for large enterprises. Advances in technology, both hardware and software, have led to improved results with most companies recouping their investment in voice within the first year of operation.
Voice is not a standalone system, so for many customers the ease with which it can be integrated into host systems is an important part of deploying the technology. The market has matured beyond early, proprietary solutions. Enterprises now have more choices, with more flexible architectures (multimodal), faster implementations, and additional areas within the four walls where they can apply voice. Most voice solutions can integrate with your existing technology, including major WMS and ERP systems as well as most hardware manufacturers, allowing you to leverage existing investments while driving additional efficiencies.
For enterprises that have already realized significant savings from their WMS implementation, adding voice-enabled logistics could increase productivity by 20% or more, perhaps making voice the next lowest hanging fruit on the efficiency tree.

Either I'm silly and I'm missing something very simple, or my text book is incorrect. I'm trying to verify a line in the text book which claims that sin(a) = s/r. I can't seem to prove this to myself and its infuriating.
Let $x$ be the angle (in the triangle) that is opposite to side $s$. Then $a+x=180^\circ$.
It is clear that $\sin x=\frac{s}{r}$. But if two angles add up to $180^\circ$, their sines are the same. So $$\sin a=\sin x=\frac{s}{r}.$$
we can show the relation via Area of an triangle too.
Imagine a circle centered at the triangle vertex at which angle $a$ is located, with radius $r$. The triangle in the picture is a right triangle whose hypotenuse is a radius (its corners touch the edge and the center of the circle).
If we say that the center of the circle is at the origin $(0,0)$ of the plane, then the definition of the sine function for an angle starting at the positive $x$-axis and going counterclockwise (as with your angle $a$) is the ratio of the height of this triangle to its hypotenuse, which is $\frac{s}{r}$.
Let $b$ be adjacent angle of $a$, i.e., $a+b=180$
From triangle, we have $\sin(b)=s/r$ therefore, $\sin(a)=\sin(b)=s/r$.

Multi-Touch Testing:
If you are interested in testing FL 10.6 with multitouch, you need to be running it under Windows 7 (or higher) and have a multi-touch monitor (dual-touch minimum). Tablet or giant screen, it should work fine on everything. For the setup, see the screenshot. You may not need it if your monitor is big enough, as FL mostly works without it, that setting enlarges hot zones so it depends on the size of the monitor (vs the size of your fingers).
The FL 10.6 public beta is/will be touch-enabled, so just install it & give your feedback about the multi-touch aspect in this thread.
Manual section on Multi-touch here.
Only FL itself & some plugins have been optimized for multitouch. In FL, most controls are dual-touch (through gestures), while the playlist in performance mode is fully multi-touch. 2 plugins are fully multitouch, Harmor & Harmless, those allow multiple knobs to be tweaked at the same time.
Related to the stuff being done for the performance mode:
While supporting clip-triggering devices is important, especially for those who already own them, the fact is that the playlist itself works better to trigger clips, as everything is on-screen, while an external device will at worst display low-colored buttons through slow MIDI, at best named buttons through wifi.
But triggering on-screen clips has 1 big limitation: the mouse. So we're looking for a cheap alternative to controllers, which would mean a monitor meeting these requirements:
-any size, but tablet-sized preferred. It would be painful to trigger clips on a desktop monitor, unless it's placed horizontally. A second, tablet-sized monitor however is handy for this, and would hold the playlist.
-any kind of input, although USB preferred if it exists (there are small USB monitors)
-<$300, as that's the average price of similar controllers (as we're looking for something that we could advise buying for clip-triggering)
-quality of image doesn't matter a single bit if it's a tablet-sized one (as it would only be used for this)
-quality of the multitouch is important. There seems to be quite some technologies, not just resistive/capacitive but also infrared & surface acoustic wave.
This kind of use doesn't "really" need multitouch as in "multiple moving cursor", but requires multi-click. Meaning that single touch is ok if pressing 3 fingers at the same time would send 3 very fast mouse clicks. If this isn't possible, we'll have to use the Win7 multitouch SDK for true multitouch support.
Even though it's also a matter of software, capacitive ones have proven that they could be used for this. For the rest I don't know.
So if anyone here has experience with a cheap multitouch screen that could be used for this? Because of the market, of course most of the ones sold are tablets, with their own OS, etc, but as long as they can't be used as real monitors, it's not acceptable. The existing software to turn a tablet into a second monitor seem way to slow & unresponsive (& also rely on wireless connection, which can be seen as a pro or a con). Custom connection with a tablet involves software to write, limited use (passing clip names at best), wireless latency & unpredictability. So IMHO the best is really a side monitor, or of course a tablet running a real Windows, if there exists cheap ones that are powerful enough to run FL.
We've found several monitors but not the holy grail yet.

USCCB names new executive director of Committee on Doctrine.
Today the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops announced that Peter Ryan, SJ, will succeed Thomas Wienandy, OFM Cap, as executive director of the Committee on Doctrine. From the press release: "Fr. Ryan has been director of spiritual formation and professor of moral theology at Kenrick-Gennon Seminary in St. Louis since January 2012. Prior to that he was professor of moral theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Emmitsburg, Maryland, 2001-2011, and assistant professor of theology at Loyola College in Maryland, 1994-2001." He is a member of the Catholic Fellowship of Scholars, a theologically conservative group, and has served three times on its executive board. (Weinandy is also a member of the Fellowship, as well as the Catholic Theological Society of America.) Ryan's scholarly work has been published in the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars Quarterly, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, the National Catholic Bioethical Quarterly, and Theological Studies. (You can read his argument for adopting abandoned embryos here [.pdf]).
In 2011, Ryan co-authored a controversial article in Theological Studies designed to rebut a 2004 essay calling for a re-evaluation of the church's teaching on the indissolubility of marriage. The Vatican reportedly pressured the journal to publish Ryan's article unedited and without standard peer review. Its authors denied the latter claim, even though the article appeared with an editors note that read, "Except for minor stylistic changes, the article is published as it was received."

Speaking of actions by the USCCB, did your parish have a bulletin insert or commentary from the pulpit this past (Trinity) Sunday about the bishops' desire to have us all pray for the retention of DOMA and California's Prop 8?
I'm curious as to how successful their last-minute push was.
Also, the selection of a Jesuit to replace Weinandy ... isn't that a bit too blatant?
(I sure do like the ability to self-edit one's comments!!!!)
I'm sure he and Weinandy agree on several important issues.
(And we'll see how long that comment-editing feature lasts.)
The self-editing feature is good for those of us who are lousy proof-readers of our comments. Or who commit grammatical faux pas. Or who just shoot from the hip and then see how silly they sound.
Surely we weren't expecting a notorious dissenter to assume the job? It is rather good to have a Jesuit in the post, if for no other reason than to demonstrate the diversity that the Society so warmly cultivates.
The theological sources, who asked not to be identified lest they come under pressure from the Vatican, say the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith pressured policy changes at Theological Studies.
Am I the only one who sees the contradiction, and the cowardice, in that sentence?
The more things change...
For the record, I am strongly opposed to the ability to self-edit. Typos, grammer erros, emotional outbursts can all be accommodated on a blog, but a Matrix version of reality cannot.
How does the edit function work? I don't see an edit function after posting - only a reply function.
How does the edit function work? I don't see an edit function after posting - only a reply function.
Nor can I figure out how to delete a duplicate comment!
Mark --
This time we agree. Editing without notice is too close to "as the Church has always taught...". If you want to take something back you can always send a note saying how you've changed your mind.
I suppose US Catholics can expect more and more false theological problems with no promise of creative dialogue or greater and more mature theological vision. It will be nag, nag, nag, on contraception and other retrograde issues, and probably an even more wooden dogmatics than Weinandy's.
Joe: So many people were expecting a notorious dissenter. You hit the nail on the head.
I can't see the edit function either. After I type a comment, I see a "save" button which posts the comment.; I can't amke changes once I post. But I do a see a liitle toolbar which allows bulletting. boldface etc, of the comments. Is that what we're talking about?
Typos, grammer erros,
Irene, and Anne C - I'm so glad it's not just me!
The man stepping down created the iConfession app for iphones to help people prepare and participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. That's a tough act to follow.
Are you talking about Weinandy? That's not true.
.This app from the I-tunes store credits Weinandy and another priest as collaborating on its development.
Is it a different Weinandy?
That sounds almost like a koan.
Fr. Komonchak: Peter Ryan, S.J., is at the opposite end of the spectrum from being a notorious dissenter -- he's a notorious Roman Catholic fundamentalist. He's one of the dimmer lights in the Jesuits.
we need a "like" button.
Are all dissenters considered to be notorious? How about Hans Kung?
NCR has an interview with Fr. Ryan this week. To me he sounds like an improvement over Fr. Winands. He doesn't criticize Fr. Winands, and he certainly talks Vaticanese, but he gives a bit of hope for some dialogue between the bishops and theologians:
"Obviously, under your predecessor Fr. Weinandy's time at the secretariat, the bishops' committee came into criticism from the theological societies, particularly regarding the handling of Sr. Elizabeth Johnson. As you enter the role, how do you see that now? Do you see it as part of your role to repair relations with theologians?
"I'm not really in a position to try and evaluate how things were done before. I have a great deal of respect for Fr. Weinandy, and my general impression is that he's done a marvelous job. But I can just make the general statement that it's really important to be in conversation and it's also really important to make sure that the faith is being handed down intact."
He is really promising only that he/the bishops will listen to dissenters. But if they really mean it that would be a major step forward. We'll see.
Fr. Ryan was my senior thesis advisor and an important spiritual mentor to me at Loyola. He also presided at my wedding. I credit him with guiding a lot of my spiritual growth during college. He is a deeply humble man whose heart really is centered on Jesus. He is very traditional in many ways, but not rigidly so. I remember him being close friends with some other Jesuits who one could not desribe as traditional at all. While you aren't going to find him dissenting from Church teaching, he is open to the breadth of the Catholic tradition. He encouraged us to be open to charismatic prayer and he wasn't averse at all to singing folk hymns in our small prayer group. (Afterwards he would sometimes even sing us a song or two by Cat Stevens, whom he could do an uncanny singing impression of.) He would often preside at a 10:00 pm (!) weekday mass for a small group of us students. I think a lot of other priests would have thought it was not worth the effort for the small number of us that attended. But he was always willing to do it. Those masses still stick in my memory as some of the most intimate and prayerful that I have ever experienced. He would often sing some of the mass parts in Latin, but he would also invite the small group of us to stand around the altar in a circle for the eucharistic prayer. That blend of traditionalism with being very pastoral and personal is what really stands out to me about him. I think he will be very fair in his new capacity at the USCCB. He is a Jesuit with all the intellectual and spiritual formation that entails. And he is an academic. He understands the give and take of scholarly debate and what it is like to work and publish in the contemporary world of academic theology. My prayers go with him in his new role.
Thank you, David T. That is indeed encouraging. If only he will be *fair*, that will prevent the great scandal of treating theologians the way Sr. Johnston was treated. Yes, some dissent needss to be criticized, but the Church is strong enought to handle it. And if it isn't, then it has to learn to withstand unfair challenges.
What is Fr. Ryan's attitude about "the old ladies in the pews"? Does he realize that the old ladies can also be scandalized by bishops' unnecessary rigidity and unfairness?

Cape girls (noun, adj. adv. basically can be anything you like) describes a unique breed of young women like no other. They are born and raised to swim, drink, play in the sand, and live life to the fullest like it's always summer. Their life is your vacation. They know the cape is still fun in the winter because they aren't just tourists. They know every beach there is and have partied on all of them. They can go drink for drink with anyone at anytime. They take drinking games as serious as the olympics i.e THEY WILL WRECK YOU at whatever game you throw at them all while looking cute in a bikini. Find them at the beach, on a sailboat, by a bonfire, but wherever you find them make sure you don't let them go. CAPE GIRLS ARE A KEEP!
Hot girls with cold beers in hand at all time- the 8th world wonder
by RMD May 02, 2005
A group of girls who are completely dependent on their friends that they can't even get out and do something with their lives.
They act like life is just an extension of high school.
They are so needy for attention, yet so boring, that they will drink to have something to talk/brag about.
They can usually be found in the same boring places drinking and looking pretty trashy.

You'll find that they say things like, "Cape Cod Love", "I love my gurrrrllss", "good times", "They say you only live once....but when you live like us - once is enough..." and other brainless phrases.

Small town stuck up girls that think they are the shit since they are from cape cod- but reality check most ppl from places that actually are happening don't even know what cape cod is
cape girl says "i don't want to cross the bridge because there might actually be something to do over it and some ppl who aren't exactly like me and white"
by Liz A May 15, 2005
Fat, very loud, shrill voices. Smokes way too much pot to pass high school. Usually quite fat, loves to party on the beach and let it all (mainly her gut) hang out. Can drink about 6 beers before she can't stand anymore and has sex with a wigger whose pants can fit easily 5 to 6 more people in them. Fat.
Damn man, look at that fat slut over there. Just because she's blonde and fake tanned doesn't mean she's hot - typical cape girl.
by CapeGuy January 29, 2006
Cape girls are girls who think they are better than every other girl in MA, and every other girl in the world. Little do they know, they are sadly mistaken. They are snotty, selfish girls who are only concerned about being thin and their tans. Guys see right through them. They are the most horrific group of girls you will ever encounter, so beware. All other girls in the world think they are pathetic, and the joke is really on them. Keep bleaching the hair ladies, the joke is on you!

The patients we treat suffer from a wide range of serious, debilitating, and often life-threatening conditions. These include genetic diseases such as lysosomal storage disorders, renal disease and cancer, orthopedic conditions, and more. Genzyme develops and manufactures treatments for these medical conditions – in some cases the only available therapies. We're also advancing potential breakthrough new treatments for cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, and many others.
None of our work would be possible without the use of animals, which are crucial to the discovery, development, research, and production of new treatments. By law, all human medicines must first be tested for safety in animals before they can be tested for safety and efficacy in humans. Legal requirements aside, animal models also provide a holistic way to study disease mechanisms, therapeutic benefits, and other issues that cannot be fully understood at the molecular level. For these reasons animal research is a necessary part of getting vital treatments to patients.
In the United States, Europe, and Japan, the laws that require safety testing in animals also set strict standards that govern the way animal research is performed. Genzyme operates in full compliance with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and guidelines, including (but not limited to) the following:
Our research facilities worldwide are fully accredited by either the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care or its international equivalents. All studies we perform or participate in are reviewed, approved, and monitored by our internal Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee for adherence to policies and protocols defined by federal agencies.
Legal requirements are only one part of ethical research. Genzyme and the companies we work with view our use of animals as a privilege, not a right. As such, we are guided by three overarching goals:
We make every effort to avoid or minimize any pain and distress to animals, and to ensure that all standards of care are met or exceeded. We know that good animal care is vital to good science, and that it directly contributes to our ability to bring new hope to patients with serious diseases.
Exciting new advances in medicine are featured in our interactive pipeline, which highlights our key research from phase 1 clinical trials to post-marketing studies.

I have been going back and forth in different approaches for designing the presentation layer for websites.
Many people swear by one of the different CMS packages which is too constraining and inflexible. Many people suggest writing the HTML by hand which seems not to scale in the case of many pages.
I have a new web application I am designing and I really want to have a "correct" and "elegant" and practical approach in how I architect it.
Has anyone done this in a way in which they are happy with and can plug in various modules and libraries with no problems?
Any tips or pitfalls I should watch for?

#3. College Is Where Girls Go Wild
For many kids raised in the cloistered confines of suburbia, college represents the first real chance for freedom. That means getting shitfaced, staying up late and, if you're a young woman, engaging in some sexual experimentation. The term "lesbian until graduation" didn't earn its own Wikipedia entry for nothing. Those liberated years of university life bring about a very real change for many women.
Change is the bee's knees.
That's the accepted public perception, anyway.
But Actually ...
Unfortunately for our vast database of dorm-room-themed spank material, the truth is far less sexy. According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (would it kill them to use a not-so-implicitly-horrifying name when studying hot girl-on-girl action?), women with bachelor's degrees were actually less likely to have dipped their toe in the pool of lesbian adventure than women who did not graduate from high school.
Yet another reason college isn't worth it.
Of 13,500 responses, women aged 22 to 44 with college degrees admitted to having a same-sex relationship about 10 percent of the time, compared with 15 percent of women who didn't finish high school.
So how did we all get this so horribly wrong? Dan Savage, a Seattle-based gay sex columnist, weighed in on the article thusly:
"A lot of [college students] are out to prove something and want their effort to smash the patriarchy to be very visible ..."
Please note that the phrase "gay sex columnist" can mean two very different things.
That is, women with college educations aren't more likely to have had those experiences, they're just more likely to have talked about them because they think it makes them special. They like to brag about their girly time sexploits because they think they're reinventing the sexual wheel and can't wait to tell their less enlightened peers all about it.
But hey, at least they're using that college degree for its exact intended purpose ... to instill themselves with a false sense of intellectual superiority. Money well spent, indeed.
You can put a price on this, but not until a few months after graduation.
#2. Men and Women Reach Their Sexual Peak at Different Times
We've all heard some variation of this myth, which claims that while men meet their sexual peak in their teens and early 20s, women don't hit the same apex of horniness until a decade or more later. Science that justifies cougars -- what could be wrong with that?
Well, everything, as it turns out. This myth likely originates from the fact that testosterone peaks at 18 and estrogen peaks in a woman's mid-20s. So boys tend to be at their age of maximum boning right around the freshman year of college, while girls don't hit the same peak until they're old enough to appreciate the humor of Courteney Cox.
But Actually ...
According to Dr. Marc Goldstein of Cornell University, hormones don't decide when you hit your sexual apex. People aren't soda bottles that just reach a point of maximum pressure and then pop. Your "sexual peak" has more to do with your attitude toward sex and level of experience, which is one reason millions of awkward young men spend their entire sexual prime on a computer.
The other reason is epic loot.
Women who are more mature are more likely to be comfortable with their sexuality because they've had the opportunity to explore it. Women's sex drives are more vulnerable to social pressures, so the further they get from the drama and "slut shaming" of high school, the more open they'll feel. Women who have been adults longer than The Office (U.S.) has run are more likely to know how to have sex safely. And they're far distanced enough from the bullshit drama of adolescent love lives to enjoy the experience.
"Each eye wrinkle stands for a thousand orgasms."
#1. Sex Sells
Sex has an incredible ability to compel attention, there's no arguing with that. Tits and ass (or suggestively tight banana hammocks) guarantee eyeballs on the screen. That's the way things are now, that's the way they were for our horny grandparents and that's the way they'll be for our equally horny (but much freakier) kids. So, if you want to sell beer, or cars or body spray, stick some boobs on the screen.
It's an equation man has understood since he first learned that erections weren't snakes.
But Actually ...
Once again, science is here to shrivel our erection of lies with the cold swimming pool of truth. Sex is a great way to get the audience to watch. But "watching" isn't the same as "buying."
Studies show that less than 10 percent of men who were exposed to sexual advertising could even recall the actual brand the ad existed to promote. And that's men, the gender that's supposed to get brainwashed by anything titillating, including the word "titillating." For women, sexual advertising cut brand recall in half.
"Damn, I could really go for some of that tit beer."
Rather than being Miracle-Gro for brand awareness, sex appears to have a sort of "vampire effect." It numbs the brain to anything that doesn't get your Captain Hornblower in a Tallywicket (we're not sure if that's an actual euphemism). This trend even extends to video games, the one realm where we'd expect shallow smut peddling to have a real advantage. And yet that's not what we've seen. Games featured by Playboy tend to underperform, and titles that flaunt sexy characters (Age of Conan, we're looking at you) don't do any better for it.
Another study of beer ads found that throwing scantily clad women into the picture did nothing to increase consumer recall. Interestingly, they also found that pairing the ads with steamy (oh God, forgive us for using that adjective) shows like Sex and the City further decreased recall.
Above: The worst product placement Grey Goose ever spent millions on.
OK, so sex doesn't sell products. But it still gets you watching, which means that adding a little bit of the moist ballet to your new movie guarantees it some measure of success. Look at movies like Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers or Black Swan. The promise of naked boob is the only thing that got half their audiences to buy a ticket. Or so we'd think.
Movie scientists with the University of California studied over 900 films released last decade and found not one case where sex and nudity improved a movie's box office reception or sales. We're assuming Halle Berry's bare breasts' featured role in Swordfish was the exception, but we can't confirm that.

I am adding the Pinterest PinIt-button to products on my webshop. This is how Pinterest wants me to do it:
I have successfully implemented the button to all products on a page and it is working fine. Regarding the script they want me to add, do I really need it? What is it for? Is it ok not include it?

Nutritional Changes Following Substantial Colon Resection
Katrina Claghorn, R.D.
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am looking for information about changes in bowel habits, changes in diet, other practical hints, tips, etc. after substantial colon resection following surgery involving two synchronous cancers with many polyps. The rectum will remain intact. And colostomy is not anticipated.
Katrina Claghorn, R.D., Oncology Dietitian for The University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Following a colon resection I would recommend a low fiber, low lactose and low fat diet. However as the bowel recovers fiber should be gradually reintroduced and regular dairy foods should be tolerated. Also make sure you are including high protein foods to help your body rebuild.
As for changes in bowel habits both diarrhea and constipation may be experienced. If diarrhea is a problem avoid high lactose foods and include rice, bananas and applesauce as well as making sure you drink plenty of fluids. For constipation increase your intake of fiber (fruits, vegetables and whole grains) and again drink plenty of fluids.
Following surgery you may need supplements of vitamin B12, however discuss this with your doctor.

Balancing Life and Cancer
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
Last Modified: December 13, 2011
I would like some advice on how to balance work, family, kids, etc. while facing breast cancer and treatment. Where can I go for help/support?
Jodi Sandos, MSW, LSW, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Often trying to balance everything in our life while going through treatment can be quite challenging. It is a good time to call on your friends and family for support through this time. People often state that if there is anything they can do to help through this time. It is often good to give people something concrete they can do to help you such as: driving your children, making meals, food shopping. This is also a time to realize that you are not going to be able to everything and prioritize what you need to do right now. It is also a time to do something for yourself to help with your own emotional needs through this time.

I pronounce word correctly. But listeners don't clearly understand my words. I speak in enough high volume. What to do?
You can take help from your friends, ask them or you too on you own record your voice and then sincerely listen to it. Try to understand the pattern of your speech, i.e at what instance or at what mental status your volume pitch is high.
Another time when you are talking to someone else try to remember those instances that you feel while recording. Another thing is Speak in front of mirror try to face yourself, think about a topic in which you have very deep understanding, then speak as much as you can , its good if you record it though for future reference and start working on it, by the time you will certainly gain confidence while speaking in an efficient manner.
Points to remember -
Are you speaking too quickly? Are you speaking too slowly? Is this a word that often will be mispronounced? There are lots of different possibilities here and the key is to find out from others what are they hearing versus what you think you are saying.
For example, asphalt will often be pronounced similar to "ashphalt" even though it isn't spelled that way. While you may speak loud enough there is something to be said for other things that may play a role as there can also be cases where people have already tuned out and thus it doesn't matter what you say, they aren't paying attention.
Your first sentence may not be correct, if listeners are not understanding you.
Video yourself speaking and check for these:
Presenting well takes time and practice so get your pace and speed right, as well as enunciation and pronunciation.
Grammar can definitely aid or hurt your comprehension by others when an accent is involved.
For example (and I understand written and spoken English can be different), your question:
would be better said as:
People often discover they are not being understood when they ask questions and no response comes. You may wish to ensure you have a rising intonation at the end of any question so English listeners don't rely on word order to know if you're asking a question or not.
Ensure one word doesn't blend into the next with a micropause between them (but don't sound like a computer). Native speakers can often get away with blending words together because the other variables of comprehension are in place.

The Importance of Sleep for New Moms
In our experience, the mothers who stay particularly healthy postpartum are the ones who allow themselves to sleep as much as they feel necessary. Most say that they took two- to three-hour naps every day for the first six months of their babies' lives. They didn't jump up to clean house or cook or pay bills when baby fell asleep. When their babies slept, they slept. Another perk: Those naps provided for bonding and snuggling time with their babies.
Being on the same sleep-wake cycle during the first months of the baby's life also helps to establish a trusting rapport between mother and child. Moms who go back to work within weeks of giving birth don't get the benefit of these daytime naps with their little ones, and their health can suffer as a result.
Certain types of brain waves known as delta- and theta-waves that are generally accessed only in deep sleep trigger the brain to produce beneficial hormones like melatonin, growth hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and sex hormones. Deep sleep also allows the brain to restore its supply of neurotransmitters that allow the cells of the nervous system to communicate with one another and with the rest of the systems of the body.

I have had this problem now with two apps, they both use the
libappindicator to display their indicator icons (I believe). First time I had this problem was with
Ubuntuone-indicator app, now I have this same problem with Sparkleshare, so I figure it must be related. I just recompiled and installed sparkleshare 1.0 from source last night, thought that might be the problem. Still same thing.
All works fine in Gnome, but once I go into XFCE it give me the missing icon problem. Could it be as simple as an icon out of place? If so where do I move the icons to?

What steps would be involved in constructing a destructible 2D landscape, like in Worms? Ideally, What are some ways that this process could be made efficient as possible?
I don't know how the landscape in worms was implemented exactly, but I'm pretty sure they used a bitmap for the landscape (at least in the older games of the series).
A very basic approach would be a bitmap image (B/W) where black pixels represent air and white pixels represent ground. Destruction of the landscape can be done easily using pixel operations. So if a rocket hits the ground, paint a black circle with
You can then render your world (or just a portion of it) using that bitmap. For better performance I suggest you implement it in a way, that you can update/render just a portion of the "world". Eg. if some parts of the landscape are destroyed by a rocket, just re-render the affected areas, not the whole world.
Instead of a B/W image as your "collision-map", you could also use a 24bit image where you use two channels to store the surface-normal (x,y) per pixel and one channel to store the actual "collision-map". Having the surface-normal at hand will greatly help you to calculate bouncing grenades, or to determine if a character can move in a given direction.
All the answers above talk about implementing the simplest case, as in worms. That is, when area of impact is destroyed and everything else is untouched. Did you consider, that your landscape may eventually be split in two? Say, there's a mountain, and players cut the bottom of it with a rocket launcher. Now, shouldn't the mountain fall? Also, it would be natural for a landscape to be a little bit elastic. At the times of Worms (at least as I remember them, I didn't play Worms for, like, many years) computers weren't just strong enough to do it right. But they are now.
Of course, it totally depends on ambitions of your project. But if you want it to be really awesome, maybe you should try Box2D as a physics engine. There's a lot you can do with it.
Use constructive solid geometry
I wrote a proof of concept that used constructive solid geometry to handle destructible terrain. I used the GLU Tessellator to perform the boolean operations. The documentation explains how, search for "CSG Uses for Winding Rules".
I fed the triangle output of the tessellator as static polygons into Box2D. The PoC worked quite well. I was able to arbitrarily subtract and add terrain in real-time and the terrain continued to behaved appropriately with Box2D. The only real hiccup was that the GLU tessellator can produce degenerate triangles which Box2D doesn't like, so I had to filter those out by hand.
The next step in the PoC (which I never got around to) was to use the SCC algorithm from the boost graph library to detect when a piece of the terrain had been severed (cut the top off a mountain). The severed terrain would still be destructible but now represented by a dynamic(non-static) Box2D body with the triangles attached as shapes. I had the design worked out but lost interest once I started digging into the boost documentation. I "plan" to revisit the idea when I make a scorched earth/Worms game someday.
One possibility off the top of my head:
Use a vector graphics path representation for storing the outline of the destructible "land". When a destruction event occurs (e.g., a grenade goes off), the blast area, represented as a circle, would be removed from the the land path via a boolean subtraction operation. The resulting path represents the new "land" for ground collision detection, and also possibly a mask for drawing the land.
As bummzack said Bitmaps. Although you could use 1 bit transparencies or if you dont have that support use a horrible pink color that you wont use in your game.
The point of impact can be calculated just be checking the pixel color. and when an impact happens change the color (or delete it) of the bitmap.
As for the blast radius my first stop would be Bresenham's circle algorithm, very fast and efficient. Although I'd do a rought delete first with something like a square and put the circle round it to get the edges.

Can You Afford to Have Another Child? 8 Financial Questions to Consider
3 of 9
"Start Up" Items
Diapers alone can cost around $100 a month. Add formula to the mix and it's a hefty monthly bill. The good news is that for subsequent children (especially if you have another of the same sex) you're probably already stocked with tons of baby gear and clothes, so that will be a savings compared to the expenses with your first.
Shop around in thrift stores for any furniture or big ticket items you might need. If you have a friend or family member pregnant with their next child, consider doing a clothing swap to freshen up your baby's wardrobe or to stock up on clothes for the opposite sex if you need them.
Do keep in mind, though, you may need to replace some of your gear. For example, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends avoiding older, used car seats to ensure maximum protection for your child. Most have an expiration date printed on them and if they don't, the rule of thumb is six years from the manufacture date. The AAP also recommends using cribs certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.

So, I'm building a website called "dagbok.nu", which is swedish for "diary now" :)
Anyway, when creating the Facebook application, it claims that the site URL is invalid as well as the app domain. For site url, I used "http://dagbok.nu" and for site domain, I used "dagbok.nu". Please don't reply (as I've seen others do on similar issues) that I should type the site url with the scheme and the domain without - that's exactly what I'm doing.
Right, so according to another question here, one could trouble shoot this functionality using FB's own URL scraper, so I did just that:
And the reply: Error Parsing URL: Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped Right, so now I can assume that the reason for it being considered invalid is because of FB not being able to scrape the URL. But why?
According to this question, one of the reasons seems to be that FB has deemed the URL insecure or "spammy". I've acquired this domain from a previous owner so this wasn't all that impossible. But when doing the same thing as Matthew in that post - i.e. trying to post in my timeline using the domain "http://dagbok.nu", I didn't get any information. The status box expanded as if to include a thumbnail and information about the link, but it only contained a "(No title)" text and nothing more.
So now I don't know what to do. I've tried to check the DIG and NS records from multiple servers around the web, and everyone seems to resolve it correctly, and I've had friends double check the URL from the states as well. I can't understand what's wrong and I have no idea how to ask someone at FB how to resolve this. Does anyone here have a good advice for this? Thanks in advance! :)
EDIT When changing the domain to another domain that points to the exact same web server and document_root, it works! So this is definitely a problem with the domain "dagbok.nu" and not with the code on that page.
EDIT When using the debug function above - I see no activity in the server log what so ever. Facebook doesn't even contact the server. When using the alternate url - the one from the last edit, it pops up in the logs as it should.
EDIT I filed a bug report with Facebook, And their first response was that they were going to follow up. Now, a month later, I got an email that said "We are prioritizing bugs based on impact to the developer community. As this bug report has not received much attention from other developers, we are closing it so as to better focus on the top issues", and then they told me to go here to stackoverflow to try to solve my issue - but the issue is WITH THEM, and of course no one else have reported that my site doesn't work, it affects only me, and I haven't opened it yet due to this bug!
EDIT I wanted to file a new bug report, but I can't even that now, since they are blocking bug reports with this URL as well!
I had to edit the URL - here is the new bug report

I have a dual-screen setup with mu laptop screen as primary and my LCD screen as secondary placed over the laptop screen. On my laptop screen I have a top-panel at the top of the screen and docky at the bottom. When the LCD screen is off/disconnected, there is no problem when maximizing the window on the laptop screen, but when it is on, the top-window border gets hidden behind my top-panel. How can I get it to only maximize to the panel and not below it? it is quite annoying that I cannot get to the min/maximize/close window buttons etc.
I have exactly the same physical monitor setup and the same annoying problem!
I kind of solved this by dragging the top-panel to the top of the LCD screen.
BUT to be able to move the top-panel up to the top of the LCD screen you first need to untick the "Expand" checkbox in the panels properties (right-click on the panel to get to them).
Then you can grag & drop the panel upto the top of your LCD screen and when its docked there, it won't overlap over your normal apps windows.

By the time the campaign came to an end this year, the film that Burley needed to make his shots was getting harder and harder to find. "I started to feel this would be the last project I could make in this way," he said in a video. Princeton Architectural Press has just released a book with 71 of Burley's images, The Disappearance of Darkness: Photography at the End of the Analog Era.

Two people walked away from an rough landing at the Glasgow Municipal Airport.
Glasgow police say they were dispatched around 11:30 Friday morning to a hard landing by a privately owned plane.
Police say a preliminary investigation suggests an electrical failure, which caused the plane to veer off the right side of the landing strip.
The two men, traveling from New York to Nashville, were not injured.
The information will now be turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration.

BELTON (October 11, 2012)--Belton ISD will hold a public meeting Monday to discuss two new schools that are expected to open in the fall of 2014.
The addition of three schools was approved last May during a bond election.
High Point Elementary is the first school to be constructed off of Highway 317.
Concrete is being poured and the school is expected to open to students in the fall of next year.
Board members will hold a discussion on two other schools including a new middle school.
The current Belton Middle School is expected to serve as an extension of Belton High School.
Belton Middle School students will be moved to another middle school to be constructed east of Highway 317 on Prairie View Road.
The third school to be constructed, referred to as Elementary School #10, will also be among the topics to be discussed.
The location of that school along with the current boundaries of the City of Temple and Belton ISD will be the main topics addressed.
Currently, two of the new schools are located in the City of Temple and eventually, boundaries may need to be redrawn, BISD spokesperson Judy Owens said.
Voting for the location of school #10 could take place at the next board meeting, set for October 22, however, board members will not approve any decisions on Monday.
Both of the newer schools are expected to open in the fall of 2014.
The meeting will be held in the board room at 5 p.m. for anyone interested in attending.

NEW MANCHESTER - The East Liverpool boys' basketball team led by two points late in the first half, but the Potters stepped up their intensity in the second half as they outscored Oak Glen, 51-18, en route to a 67-40 victory Friday night at the Oak Glen Fieldhouse.
The Potters have won two-straight games to improve to 2-5 on the season. The Golden Bears drop to 1-2.
The game was the second rivalry game of the week for each team. East Liverpool defeated Beaver Local Tuesday night at Potter Fieldhouse, while Oak Glen defeated Weir at the Carl Hamill Fieldhouse.
"I questioned their intensity at halftime," East Liverpool head coach Nate Conely said about what led to his team's improved play in the second half. "We came out really flat on defense. I could care less about offense. You're not going to score a lot of point every night.
"We were flat defensively, and I called them out on it, every single one of them.
"In the second half, we came out and played good team defense. Defensively, we were led by our point guard D.J. Austin, and everyone else followed."

The Potters led by four points at halftime before breaking the game open in the second half.
"We didn't perform well in the second half," Oak Glen head coach Dave Smith said. "We played with a lot of energy in the first half, but we were unable to sustain the energy."
Three players scored in double digits to lead the way for the Potters. Derek Thompson ended up with a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, Hayden Cunningham netted a game-high 19 points and Austin tallied 10 points.
Cody Howell contributed a team-high 15 points to lead the way for the Golden Bears.
East Liverpool jumped out to leads of 5-0, 9-5 and 12-6 in the first quarter. Oak Glen battled back, and the Golden Bears ended the quarter on an 8-1 spurt to lead 14-13 at the end of the quarter.
In the second stanza, a 3-pointer by Cunningham put the visitors up 22-18. Later, a basket by McGraw cut Oak Glen's deficit to 24-22. The Potters led 26-22 at the half.
"I thought they outworked us in the first half," Conley said. "They outhustled us and they outworked us. I had to question their intensity at halftime.
"We were firing up 3's, and then we got the ball inside to our big men, and they were able to score some easy buckets. We also did a good job of rebounding. I think the difference in the game was our intensity in the second half and us pounding the ball inside."
Smith said the Potters were able to hurt his team on the offensive end by getting multiple offensive rebounds, which led to some easy baskets.
"We weren't able to boxing them out," he said. "We can't give up offensive rebounds. We can't give up second and third chances. They outworked us on the glass.
"They didn't do anything we didn't expect. I just think they wore us out a bit. "I think they have gotten a little better, and we need to continue to get better."
Oak Glen plays North Marion at home today with a JV start of 3:30 p.m. Meanwhile, East Liverpool goes on the road to take on Big Red. The JV game is a 4 p.m. start at the Crimson Center.
"We are going to have to be ready to play against Big Red," said Conley. "You never know what you are going to get with Big Red. They are extremely athletic. We are going to have to watch some film on them."

I'd like to give some firework items to a player, using a dispenser, or via some similar mechanism. How can I do this? Is it possible?
The Dropper block, available since Minecraft 1.5, can be used for this purpose. It is similar to a dispenser, except that it does not "activate" items like arrows and fireworks, so they will be dropped for the player to pick them up instead.
There are several ways to give a player on your server Fireworks.
Of course, the obvious way is to simply craft them from Firework Stars and give them to the player. This requires materials, requires you to walk up to them, etc. You could leave them in a Chest, but that still isn't automatable.
You can try putting the Fireworks in a Dispenser, but it will fire them off rather than give them. Instead, the Dropper can be used to properly dispense Fireworks that a player can pick up and use.
The most flexible option, however, is the
When using a dispenser, the fireworks leave the dispenser armed, so that isn't much good.
Also, because the fireworks all share an ID (401) command blocks can't be used (it just spawns a firework with no explosion in it).
You can, however, use spawners to spawn the dropped item entity (one of Seth Bling's scripts can be used.) These are harder to control, though, and limiting the amount of items the player gets can be tricky.
Note this technique can be used to spawn any custom item, such as enchanted weapons and custom potions.
If you're playing on a CraftBukkit server, the Essentials plugin has a /firework command. You could give your players fireworks through the /give (item code 401) command and then let the players "customise" the fireworks with the /fireworks command.
The syntax for the command is (and will be applied to the stack of fireworks currently held in-hand)
You can choose three colours for the inital burst using
So, do a /give 401 for 64 fireworks, and then for a firework which bursts red, blue and green, does a large ball effect, twinkles/crackles and has maximum flight height you can use:
I have not tried this yet but I was thinking you could do this with a few Bukkit plugins - WorldEdit, Citizens, and Denizen.
I believe this should work as Denizen scripts allow you to load WorldEdit schematics.
You may leave it in a chest. then he will get it.
Because fireworks have weird metadata I made a tool to make fireworks easy. They are saved as kits so if you want players to have them, just give them access to the kit. You can find the tutorial atand the download link will be in the description.
It's really simple to make complex and custom fireworks using this method.
Just write in a command block:
