Liver Transplant
Liver Transplant Overview
Patient Comments Read 5 Comments
The liver is the second most commonly transplanted major organ, after the kidney, so it is clear that liver disease is a common and serious problem in this country. It is important for liver transplant candidates and their families to understand the basic process involved with liver transplants, to appreciate some of the challenges and complications that face liver transplant recipients (people who receive livers), and to recognize symptoms that should alert recipients to seek medical help.
Some basics are as follows:
The body needs a healthy liver. The liver is an organ located in the right side of the abdomen below the ribs. The liver has many vital functions.
It is a powerhouse that produces varied substances in the body, including (1) glucose, a basic sugar and energy source; (2) proteins, the building blocks for growth; (3) blood-clotting factors, substances that also aid in healing wounds; and (4) bile, a fluid stored in the gallbladder and necessary for the absorption of fats and vitamins.
As the largest solid organ in the body, the liver is ideal for storing important substances like vitamins and minerals. It also acts as a filter, removing impurities from the blood. Finally, the liver metabolizes and detoxifies substances ingested by the body. Liver disease occurs when these essential functions are disrupted. Liver transplants are needed when damage to the liver severely impairs a person's health and quality of life.

Sharing office printer on two separate networks
Hi, all. I'm working for a small office that has one copy machine/printer, but two separate LANs. It was two partners in one firm, but they split and are segmenting their (Apple/Mac) networks. Each has their own Internet connection, router, switch and server. Problem is, they still want to share the copier, which has a single Ethernet port. I know the challenges in bridging the two networks with an intermediary router and am hoping not to have to go that route. Was wondering if there are any other options. Someone mentioned an online print server service, but I can't find anything workable on that. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
2013-11-06, 14:48 #2
Try this:
This is a USB printer auto-sharing device. It should do exactly what you want, if your copier has a USB printer port.
Along with this device, you'll need to use a computer on each network as a print server; in plain English, that means that you will connect the copier to one computer on each network, and you will then share it from that computer. Of course, the two computers will need to be on all the time, so that you can print whenever you want to. And they'll need to be close enough to the copier so that you can connect them to the print sharing device. The maximum length for USB cables is about 16 feet, which includes the entire length of cable from the copier to the computer.
You may be able to beat this maximum length with the following device:
It will allow you to convert from USB to ethernet, then run a long ethernet cable, then convert back to USB.
To me, this would be the simplest solution to this problem.
Let me add that I haven't actually tested these solutions myself.

Or connect the ethernet to one network and a USB print server to the other.
cheers, Paul

If his will allow that, then that would be the easiest and cheapest way to do it: on the ethernet side, make it a network printer, and everyone on that side can print to it; no dedicated computer is needed.
He can choose which side is the USB side by determining which side can have a computer near the printer; in that way, he won't have to do the USB/ethernet/USB conversion.

I assumed that it's a serious printer if they are sharing it but not anything else, so both USB and ethernet should be fine.

Best solution: split the cost of a new printer. Draw straws to see who gets the new one.
Split the cost of a new one 40/60%, 60% gets the new one?

Money size is involved here. Let's assume the copier is $1000 or quite expensive (the reason why parties split but still share the same printer).
1. Use an old PC or cheap new PC. Add a network card. Now, with the built-in network card, will have 2 network cards. Assign TWO IP addresses, one from each network. Example: 192.168.1.135 on 192.168.1.xxx network; 192.168.007.135 on 192.168.007.xxx network. The USB connected copier is to this used PC. A laptop will also work, but need to add an USB-network adapter for the 2nd network.
The dual-IP PC can communicate with both networks. Both networks can print to the shared USB copier.
The key is cheap enough new PC (with a spare slot for 2nd netcard).
The solution makes no sense if the copier is $500 or less. Might as well buy another copier.
2. Use an intelligent router ($300 and up). Script it to allow both networks to go through.
3. Use cheaper consumer grade router: May or may not work, depending on configuration and the type:
Connect both networks to local side (LAN) of the consumer router. On the WAN side, connect the copier.
How it works:
Both IP network request-to-print goes through WAN. Now Net-address-translates (NAT) to single IP on WAN side. The WAN side IP is hidden from (here actually is common to) both 'local' IPs. One caveat, maybe one-way only, from local to WAN. Printer feedback signal may not work (WAN to LAN). Also, configure router to pass through unrestricted (DMZ).

5 Movies and TV Shows With Brilliant Clues in the Dialogue
Foreshadowing is one of those things that takes a lot of effort from the writers but goes largely unnoticed by viewers -- it exists mainly as a reward to those loyal fans who watch a movie or TV show over and over. Yet, as we've already pointed out on several occasions, your favorite movies and TV shows are absolutely rife with tiny clues that predict important plot developments. Here are five major plot twists that were actually spoiled by the characters themselves, if you'd just listened closely ...
#5. Everyone in The Matrix Tells Neo That He's Going to Die
Warner Bros.
The Matrix was a pretty groundbreaking movie in many regards, not the least of which was trying to convince us that Keanu Reeves is in fact Jesus Christ. The movie achieved this by first putting Reeves' Neo into a virtual reality game and having him kill a bunch of cops before ultimately (and thankfully) giving way to the main plot twist where Neo dies and comes back as "The One," the trench coat-wearing kung-fu savior of humanity.
Warner Bros.
"I don't need a cross. I'm already wooden enough."
Why We Should Have Seen It Coming:
First, the obvious ones.
Early on in the movie, we get a glimpse of Thomas Anderson/Neo's life as a cubicle schmuck where he has a few interactions with regular people that are just lousy with foreshadowing. The first is when Neo sells a floppy disk to the '90s cyberpunk Choi.
Upon delivery, Choi then tells Neo:
"Hallelujah! You are my savior, man! My own personal Jesus Christ!"
Warner Bros.
The disk is just Depeche Mode MP3s.
In hindsight, this reads like a stealth advertisement for Subtlety in Screenwriting and You, considering that Neo eventually does pull a Jesus by coming back from the dead. But a little less subtle is Choi somehow managing to read from Neo's completely blank facial expression that he is stressed out, and telling him:
"It sounds to me like you need to unplug, man."
This is of course soon followed by Neo literally unplugging a bunch of cables from his body and waking up in the real world through what can only be described as a virgin birth.
Warner Bros.
"Pee! It's all pee!"
But the biggest clue to Neo's inevitable, messianic death comes from his interaction with the Oracle: the kindly cookie-baking lady who lies to Neo and tells him that he's not the One because he needs to discover it on his own and all that jazz. Except that ... she didn't really lie. When Neo confirms with the Oracle that he is not the One, she tells him he is waiting for something. What, exactly?
"Your next life, maybe. Who knows? That's how these things go."
Warner Bros.
"Cool. Thanks for nothing, Miss Cleo."
In the movie, the line is played off as a sarcastic remark from a sassy character, but sure enough, Neo didn't become the One until his "next life." As in, the life he lived after he died and came back. She could have made it all easier by just telling him he was going to get shot in a hallway, but apparently there's a law that says all prophecies have to be kept super vague.
#4. The First Episode of Sherlock Predicts the Main Character's "Suicide"
The second season of the acclaimed BBC series Sherlock culminates in a rooftop confrontation between the genius scarf mannequin and his archnemesis, Moriarty, in which Sherlock is presented with a tough dilemma: kill himself or Moriarty's assassins will kill everyone he loves. He tries to persuade Moriarty to stop being such a dick and call off the hits, but Moriarty inconveniently shoots himself in the mouth (see: dick), leaving Sherlock with no choice but to leap to his death. OR DOES HE?
Spoiler for the next sentence: He doesn't.
Well, obviously he doesn't, because he appears alive and well at the end of the episode. Still, his faked suicide was the shocking plot twist that would keep viewers in suspense for the next two years, and it had apparently been in the works from the start.
Why We Should Have Seen It Coming:
Two people around Holmes actually told us Sherlock was going to die by his own hand, and they all did it in the very first episode. Doing her duty as a TV cop (that is, being antagonistic toward the brilliant outsider who always turns out to be right), Sergeant Sally Donovan says this early on in the episode:
"One day we'll be standing around a body and Sherlock Holmes will be the one who put it there."
"Now, if you'll excuse me, any more dialogue might turn me into an actual character."
She's convinced he's a psycho, and to Sally's credit, he is, but it's also true that at the end of Season 2 the police end up on the scene of a death Sherlock was responsible for -- his own.
Even more chillingly, the taxi driver who'd been responsible for all the murders throughout the first episode turns out to be a pawn in Moriarty's cat-and-mouse game with Sherlock, and even says this to the detective:
"I'm gonna talk to you, and then you're going to kill yourself."
"Then you're going to turn into a dragon and terrorize your little friend out there."
By the end of the scene, it appears that Sherlock outwitted him and the man has been proven wrong, but two years and five episodes later, that's exactly what Sherlock does. Or appears to do -- Sherlock does such a good job of faking it that he even fooled the foreshadowing gods.
#3. One Line in Futurama Reveals That Something Is Up With Fry's Grandpa
20th Century Fox Television
Near the end of Futurama's third season, the space delivery crew find themselves hurled back in time to 1947 Roswell, where they proceed to paradox the shit out of the time stream. This includes the main hero, Fry, popping into the local military base to say hello to his grandfather Enos. However, Fry then decides that 1940's America is a death trap, so he tries to "save" Enos by locking him in an empty house where he is promptly nuked to death.
After Fry doesn't fade from existence Back to the Future-style, he then realizes that the man he thought was his grandfather can't be him. He consequently ends up consoling Enos' now grieving fiancee, accidentally impregnating her. The twist is that the woman actually was Fry's grandmother, which means that the redheaded human Popsicle is his own grandfather, and that Futurama just showed you some pretty graphic sorta-incest.
20th Century Fox Television
"Those bastards would just Rule 34 this anyway, so fuck it."
Why We Should Have Seen It Coming:
Futurama has always been one for foreshadowing, and in this case it came early in Season 3 with the episode "The Luck of the Fryrish," where we see Fry being born and his parents deciding on the name Philip for him. This causes Fry's cranky older brother, Yancy, to freak out and demand that he be given the far less dorky name of Philip, to which his father proudly states:
"Son, your name is Yancy, just like me, and my grandfather, and so on, all the way back to Minuteman Yancy Fry, who blasted commies in the American Revolution."
20th Century Fox Television
"Why do you think they were called redcoats?"
It's just a throwaway joke about a goofy name, and you'd have no reason to give it a second thought. But when you dissect that line, you'll notice something isn't right here. When Yancy Sr. tells his son about this generational legacy, he states that the name "Yancy" has been shared by himself and his grandfather, not himself and his father, which would make a lot more sense.
It's just so odd to try and sell someone on the tradition that has survived generations but somehow missed one random guy, unless that guy was a time-traveling granny banger. With that in mind, of course the Yancy naming tradition could not include Yancy Sr.'s dad, because by then the name had already been given to his older brother, thus resulting in a paradox that caused the name to skip one incestuous, time-traveling generation.

Sir the stormtroopers have disappeared off the radar said an officer. Send a sith then said the commander.
The sith moved through the trees, planning his attack. Then the master, moved and he was off guard off a second. The sith jumped, pulling the master toward him. But the jedi slammed his elbow into the siths side. This brought the saber down cutting the jedis hand off, then the apprentice jumped up and stabbed the sith killing him.
Thanks, Connor Luke said after they attached a mech. arm on. No problem master said Connor the he grinned I only saved your life.
My lord, the sith is dead said the commander. Then the sith stabbed the commander saying You have failed me for the last time commander.

The droid is complete, my lord said new the commander. Good replied the sith.
Master Luke, we must move out said Connor. No, tell the merch. That the planet is
not safe and to never return, replied Luke. Then were leaving, lets go.
They were now flying back to Yavin 4 with the merch fling behind, when one of the
merch ship blew up Connor Gasped in horror as the ship burst into flames. I have a bad
feeling about this said Luke. As a sith fighter appeared blasting the hell out of another
ship destroying it. Make that 2 said Connor. The merch with them was so terrified it
was hard keeping him from killing himself. Suddenly Connor jumped up and grabbed the
controls. What the hell are you doing yelled Luke. But Connor didnt answer, he
grabbed the comlink told the other ships something then hit a button 3 times. Feeling
confident Connor quickly zoomed up as 3 seismic bombs exploded destroying the sith.
Good move Connor said Luke. Thanks master Connor replied.
Send the army to Yavin there I will revel myself along my new weapon said the sith.
When the jedi reached the jedi temple it was completely deserted except for Jaden.
Where is everyone Connor asked Luke? We learned the temple is going to be attacked
soon after you return, we are exactly 30 yards away on the south side covered up
completely Jaden replied.
The sith named Nilin planed for the attacked, General Grievous III would sneak into
the front using his invisibility cloak. As the army attacked all around the temple woods
since the jedi new of the attack. Nilin would go with GG3 into the temple.
Nilin felt they would win
Name: General Grievous
Weapon: Vaders saber, the saber Sidious lost in the fight with Yoda, Revans saber,
and Niliuss saber.
Equipment: Saber proof armor, and the force and invisibility cloak.
Chapter 4 Attack on the Temple
The fleet landed on Yavin 4 30 yards North of the temple. The army started to move
around the temple to the south planning to attack the jedi. While GGIII and Nilin went to the
temple... Nilin was now in the temple, he had told GGIII to go to find and steal all the
jedi holocrones while he went to Jadens private quarters. For 2 hours Nilin watched the battle
till GGIII returned. Lord Nilin, I found all the jedi holocrones and this jedi who was
returning to the temple said GGIII. Good said Nilin satisfied .I could make him my
new apprentice, but now we must leave.
When they reached the ship they heard the battle was getting closer. Hurry general said
Nilin. Suddenly 3 jedi and a sith appeared. The sith doing a flip landed and cut a jedi in
Half, quickly turning to the next and was about to kill him when the 3rd removed his head.
Master Luke Connor yelled help. 1 of the jedi turned noticing them, and then charged.
Nilin pushed him back into a tree knocking him out grabbing Connor he jumped into the
ship after GGIII.
1 year later
The jedi had been severely damaged after the fight for the temple and had gone into
hiding. Connor had turned to the dark side and was now known as Darth? And his
friend Darth Zan.
Chapter 5 The days of Grivis
Darth Grivis was in a battle, fighting for the sith against the jedi and the republic. He
flipped up removing a rebels head, then he charged at a jedi using the force to rip the
jedi into. Sir a sith wants to see you he is not in our army said an officer, Hes in the
Command post. Grivis opened the Command Post to find a Zabrack in front of him.
Years earlier, Maul was falling strait through Naboos core. When he noticed a stump
like the jedi had grabbed. He grabbed it, with one hand grabbing his legs with the other,
he grabbed a cable gun from his utility belt and dropped the legs. He activated the gun
shooting it but made himself go down to grab his legs. Then pulled up, when he reached
the top of the cable he stopped and attached the gun to him and the legs, so they would
not fall. He got his second cable gun and shot it up taking the first with him when he
reached the top he shot the first. He continued till he was out. He used some crap in his
robe to re-attach him to his legs.
He flew to Korriban to find a sith medical droid. It attached his legs to him properly. He
went to a freezing plant and programmed a droid to free him after the sith return
After hearing the story Grivis called his master. Nilin was astonished to hear the story
and told Maul to help when the battle and he would join the sith in 3rd command.
Grivis with Maul continued killing rebels, the jedi had left to help other soldiers retreat.
Grivis jumped up using the force to open the ground making thousands of troops fall
into hell.
Maul was promoted to 3rd command of the war to fight for the Empire.

Chapter 6 Return of Vader
A sith student named Darth Shadow, had snuck into a tomb on Korriban Shadow winced in pain a boulder had hit his arm cutting him, he moved through the hall looking for a tomb to open for fun. He saw one and opened it seeing nothing but a staff. He recognized it innately it was a scepter. The sith flew to Endor to look for the body of Vader. Seeing the grave he moved toward it. When his dead master appeared saying go back to Korriban and destroy the tomb that you got the scepter from there is something else. Taking the scepter from Shadow he reformed Vader back on Korriban Shadow had destroyed the tomb and found a shinning tiny star. His master reappeared. Touch it apprentice. Shadow touched it and his hand disintegrated. Ahaaaa Shadow screamed in pain. You have resurrected all the sith and jedi said his master. The jedi are being hunted down by the new sith. They all appeared on Dantooine. We appeared here he could say no more Shadow had died
Vader flew to Skylerc searching for this Darth Nilin. Hello Vader said a voice. Hello, Nilin Vader replied. Go to Korriban your army is waiting for you.
Grivis ran trough the streets looking for Zan and Vox. Then he saw them where have you guys been Grivis asked. Nilin is here, he wants to see us Yes master Nilin Grivis started. Vader is now first command of a new army of dead then alive sith. I want your squad to find out how they returned, leave immediately.
Chapter 7 The Mystery
Grivis moved trough the hall on Korriban. He had found a boulder with blood on it. He felt a disturbance, soothing he had felt on Skylerc. He ducked just as a saber went over his head. Hello jedi, Im going to kill you this time said the sith. Grivis flipped up cutting the siths hand. One thing, Im not a jedi anymore Im a sith said Darth Grivis. He stabbed him. He continued down the hall till he reached a tomb. Welcome Grivis said a voice. Stander Grivis replied. Pushing him out a crack then sealed it. What the hell Grivis saw the scroll.
Maul moved down the hall of the jedi temple on Dantooine. SITH yelled a voice. A jedi ran to Maul then stopped. Maul said Obi-wan said in surprise. Maul sung his saber at Kenobi, missing barley. There sabers clashed so hard Obi-wan staggered. Maul pushed him and jumped through a hole that led to his ship. He looked back at Kenobi feeling revenge. He flew off to Skylerc.
Nilin felt that Maul had failed but Grivis had seceded.
Grivis yelled to Vox and Zan telling them that they must leave. Why Vox asked? Because, Grivis replied Mission complete he said reading the scroll: To all you wonder how we returned a sith named Darth Shadow had found a midichlorian star. When he touched it he was disengaged, but he rescued us. The rest was burned but it was enough thought Grivis. They flew off to Skylerc. (I was going to end the chap here but I wanted action.)
They flew over Mygeeto when an ion cannon shot there wing forcing them to the ground.
They jumped up and landed on the ground as the ship blew up. A jedi slashed at Grivis as he flipped up and stabbed the jedi. Vox removed ones head and Zan cut one in half. Vox and Zan were pushed into a fly-pod (escape-pod but instead of going to planet it leaves a planet and goes to another.). It left set to Skylerc. A jedi pushed Grivis as he stabbed another jedi, the jedi put cuffs on Grivis and through him into a brig.
Chapter 8 The Escape
When Grivis awoke the first thing he felt was the pain. He had been hit on the head by a stone from the roof. Then the roof collapsed, sending stones everywhere. Above the roof were a shield and an elevator. He started moving down. Through the shield door he noticed tons of jedi. Then the lift stopped at the very bottom. The door deactivated.
He walked out noticing a dead jedi with keys. He used the force to pull the keys to him.
Hello Grivis said a jedi. As you think, we are not jedi some of us our ex-jedi and some ex-sith. We our known as the Cruins. I am the leader of the Cruins, Tyler Frye. Nice to meet you replied Grivis as he finally unlocked the cuffs. He jumped up using the force to pull his saber from Tylers cloak. Tyler jumped back activating a saber Grivis had never seen. You are trained in the ways of the x-saber as I am trained the ways of the Y-saber. (Like an x-saber but they hold it up like a normal saber and it only has 2 sabers on the top,>== held up.) Grivis shrugged, no mater Ill kill him anyway he thought. He jumped up, flipping to Tyler. Tyler attacked from the side, but Grivis ducked. Grivis moved back, and then charged. He slashed, making a saber lock. Grivis grinned as he tripped Tyler with his foot. He flicked his saber then stabbed Tyler.
Suddenly the blast doors opened and thousands of Cruins surrounded Grivis. He was pushed to the ground. Thinking hard Grivis made up a force move. He got up, using the force to open the ground so far it led to hell. Everyone fell except him. Then he sealed the ground back up. He went to hangar bay 526 to steal Tylers ship. Then he killed the passengers and flew to Skylerc. He pulled out Tylers Y-saber. Lord Nilin, I have a gift for you as he made another one. He put a bomb in the new one. When it was activated it would blow up killing Nilin.
Tyler groaned in pain, he had been stabbed. He changed his name to his old sith name, Darth Nordis. Found his spare ship and flew after Grivis.
Chapter 9 The End of Nilin
Grivis entered the throne of Darth Nilin. Hello Grivis, said Nilin without turning. You have completed your mission, so I will grant you with a harder challenge. I will give you 2 apprentices, Darth Arca and Darth Forus. Thank you master, I also have a gift to you.
He handed him the Y-saber. It is a saber made by an army of ex-jedi or sith. I killed most of them. Activate it replied Grivis. Very well Nilin replied. He activated the saber. It blew up in his face, knocking him over. Then Grivis jumped up preparing the finishing move. Nilin flipped up kicking Grivis in the face. You cant win, Nilin Grivis said as he moved to the left. Then he jumped right, still in the air he jumped forward landing behind Nilin. He turned kicking Nilin in the stomach then tripped him. You lose Grivis started. Now Im the emperor he finished. He cut off Nilins head.
He left his new throne and went to the academy there he found his new apprentices.
Hello my friends meet the emperor Grivis said. What about lord Nilin asked Arca? He has died replied Grivis. As he said it part of the academy roof was destroyed and thousands of Cruins ran in, killing sith after sith. Grivis jumped up signaling Forus and Arca to follow. They ran to the command post. Grivis activated the communications as Arca and Forus killed Cruins. This is Grivis the new emperor, Nilin has died. We our under attack I repeat we our under attack. I want Vox, Maul, and Zan at the command post now. He shut it off, he felt Tyler was still alive.
A sith snuck to a ship, he had to escape to go to Skylerc to find his master. His name was Darth Strander. As he entered the ship he saw Vader. Hello Strander, Vader said. Im sorry your escape is ruined everyone is going to Dantooine to attack the jedi. Mission Failed for you Vader said.
Chapter 10 The War of the Dead
Lord Vader, we have learned the jedi have left Dantooine and our headed to Skylerc said a sith commander. Then set course for Skylerc, to ambush them, now move Vader replied.
Our target is Tyler Frye, leader of the Cruins kill all in your way but bring him to me now attack ordered Grivis. They moved out killing the Cruins, when thousands of jedi cruisers landed. Grivis jumped to one and quickly planted 5 det packs. He ran back blowing the ship up. Millions of jedi ran to the battlefield killing the sith. Thats when Grivis realized the jedi and the Cruins made a peace treaty, they were out numbered. My lord, Lord Vader and the sith have arrived said a sith. Good replied Grivis, as he removed a head of a jedi. The sith poured into the battle field killing Cruins and Jedi.
Grivis ran to Vader, noticing his bodyguards: Sion, Nilius, Malak, Raven, Strander, and Sidious. The jedi our retreating, Attack Vader told the army. Grivis left Vader, planning to corner Tyler. Then he was pushed into the air, he flipped and landed. Tyler stood red Y-saber in hand. Im no longer Tyler, Im now Darth Nordis he said. Grivis charged swinging his saber at Nordiss head. Nordis blocked it, and then tried to trip Grivis. Grivis jumped and kicked him in the face.
The battle continued, sith and jedi dying, the Cruins had gone to Yavin 5 to await the jedi. Luke had never seen such a battle. He told Kyle to retreat the jedi. He entered his ship, thinking the same Grivis will soon think- War had begun.
Grivis blocked Nordiss attack as he sung at him. Nordis turned and jumped into a leaving jedi cruiser. Grivis left to his throne.
There his thought- the battle was over and The War of the Dead had begun.

When manually inspecting unfamiliar code (to review or modify), I seem to have three options.
- A top-down read of the code, choosing each next source file by how fundamental the filename seems. I usually end up reading nearly everything. Some files twice.
- A breadth-first read, where I find and read all of the invoking method with minimal understanding. Then read all the functions that function called, and so on. My mental stack tends to overflow if I make it a few calls deep.
- A depth-first read, where I step through all the code in a debugger, unsure of whether this will take 8 minutes or 8 hours.
Once I've read enough of the code to have a fairly solid understanding of what it's doing, I often reflect that I've read 80% or more of the codebase, while the fundamental code is 20% or less. I've wasted a lot of time.
What tools are useful for getting a quick grasp of unfamilar code? Are there any tools that can give a "big picture" of the critical code path and allow me to drill down to the details of any one part?

Lonely Hearts Give Flirting 101 a Try
With a divorce four years behind her and Valentine's Day on the horizon, Ellen Pober Rittberg decided she was ready for a relationship.
But three decades out of the dating scene for the 60-year-old attorney and author was the equivalent of several lifetimes when it came to navigating how to flirt and meet men on today's convoluted playing field.
Ms. Rittberg, a resident of Roslyn, N.Y., on Long Island, registered with an online dating website, but she also needed something extra to get her ready for this game. Enter dating coach Tracey Steinberg, who specializes in helping people flirt.
"I'm rusty," Ms. Rittberg said. "I like to think that I know how to flirt, but I was married for 31 years. I haven't had to flirt since I was 23."
Just as accountants have April as their busy season, dating professionals have February. Ms. Steinberg, whose services can range from $95 for group flirt coaching to $2,995 for intense five-month packages of one-on-one coaching, said she has seen a surge in clients in the past week. The coaching inquiries will continue to be strong through March.
"Dating coaches prepare for a spike in service post-Valentine's Day," said Arthur Malov, the founder of NewYorkDatingCoach.com, who oversees a stable of dating coaches in New York City. "They see all the couples on Valentine's Day, and it triggers people to get proactive about finding a relationship."
Dating coaches all have their own styles. For instance, one of NewYorkDatingCoach.com's coaches, Israel Irenstein, has a specialty: helping formerly Hasidic men and women just entering the dating pool. He often has to be incredibly hands-on.
"Sometimes we need to meet for two hours a week and go over everything starting with the very basics of personal space," Mr. Irenstein said.
Like business coaching in the 1990s, date coaching has come into its own as a business model in the past five years. While matchmaking—long the bread-and-butter business of the offline dating world—can be a form of date coaching, the new breed of coach eschews the business of setting up their clients.
Ms. Steinberg falls somewhere in between and specializes in the art of flirt-coaching. She can play the role of the Cyrano de Bergerac, whispering a witty compliment in a client's ear; be the playful wing woman who chats up the spare man at the table; or just observe and critique across a crowded bar.
On a Thursday night in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, Ms. Steinberg met her client at Bounce, a sports-themed club where men watch women more intently than they watch the Rangers.
Their session began with Ms. Steinberg giving a pep talk.
"All of these men are here to help you practice," she told Ms. Rittberg. "You're not going to find your husband right now."
Ms. Steinberg gave a series of pointers: how to make eyes at a man (quick glances that indicate you like what you see), how to break the ice (talk about anything you can see, touch, smell or hear) and, most importantly, how to get a man to ask you on a date (make it very clear that you will say yes).
Ms. Rittberg had to set a goal for the evening.
"I want a man to offer to buy me a drink," she said.
With that, Ms. Steinberg gave Ms. Rittberg a high-five and sent her into the scrum.
Ms. Rittberg first spoke to a younger man bobbing up and down to Macklemore's "Thrift Shop." Ms. Rittberg complimented him on his beard. When she returned, her coach gave her a big smile.
The pair decided to switch venues since, as Ms. Rittberg put it, they weren't having any luck finding men who were alive when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
The women were better off at the Mario Batali Italian market Eataly. Ms. Rittberg sidled up to a pair of age-appropriate gentlemen as they enjoyed glasses of wine at the Il Crudo bar. The one who caught Ms. Rittberg's eye resembled a young Tony Bennett.
Looking up at the Italian wines and cheeses, Ms Rittberg asked the men, "Are you from Italy?"
They weren't, but the conversation lasted an hour. Ms. Rittberg was offered several drinks as her coach stood by her side and nodded encouragingly. She called it a night with a kiss on the cheek.
"I am pumped," Ms. Rittberg said. She said she is optimistic about finding a Valentine in the near future: "I have the skills to make this happen."

I am not sure that this is the right SE site to place this question. If not my early apologies and please redirect me right SE site.
I am suffering from a high intensity of my emotions. Anger, fear, anxiety and others too.
Sometimes anger flares up just like that and I shout and make some steps which are very offensive to the other person who made me angry. Sometimes fear dominates me and I couldn't dare to face anything. Sometimes anxiety flares up for small things and I get shivers.
Due to these highly intensive emotions, my actions are led by those emotions and I get into problems later again by reacting to my emotions to those problems. This loop is creating more and more problems in my daily life. I would like the wisdom to dominate all feelings and emotions and let my wisdom lead all my actions. I always regret about the actions done under the influence of my emotions. How can I keep my emotions with in boundaries and let the wisdom lead my actions?

Is is possible (and sensible) to unit test a web forms site? It seems to me that as so much of it depends on state and user input it wouldn't be fesable.
If it's not feasible is there a valid automated alternative?
Is is possible (and sensible) to unit test a web forms site? It seems to me that as so much of it depends on state and user input it wouldn't be fesable.
If it's not feasible is there a valid automated alternative?
Yes, you can. You just have to be careful to separate your concerns well. In short, you have to remove all your logic from the code-behind and put it into other classes.
There are two common ways to do this.
The simple way is to rethink all of your event handlers in terms of "What information does the system give me? What information do I need to populate on the page?" and then provide a service class which does that conversion.
In this case, the service layer should know very little about the nature of your presentation layer. You still have to take the data returned from the service and populate the correct components of the WebForm in your code-behind and this remains untested (at least by unit tests, you can still employ integration tests). But this is rarely where code goes wrong, it is much more likely to fail in the logic.
A more complicated, but more effective, way is to use the Model View Presenter pattern. When we tried that, we found that the Presenters quickly became very coupled to the framework and, the more we developed MVP, the more clear it was that MVP really wanted to be MVC but couldn't be.
That said, others have done this very successfully - there is even a webformsmvp framework available to remove the heavy lifting - so your mileage may vary.
Quite obviously, an entire web forms page is not a unit, and thus cannot be unit tested. However, there are some things you can do for automated tests:
I am sorry for missing the "unit" part of the question...
SeleniumHQ is your friend for tests from the front end. It is not a unit test, more like a black box testing. You still need to think of valid test cases...
Speaking from experience: Only if it's done right. By "right" I mean minimal code-behind and something like the above-mentioned Model-View-Presenter to make the Web Form "dumb". This usually proves to be very difficult with brownfield applications because they weren't designed with this in mind and it's a near-Herculean effort to refactor/rewrite pages to use it.
Yes, if you have the right design patterns in place.
Take a look at Dan Crevier's blog post series entitled "A pattern for unit testable Asp.net pages." This pattern was (and is perhaps still) used in Windows Live SkyDrive (which is referred to in the blog posts by its beta name "Live Folders").
The full example source code is available and linked to in part four.
I find unit web tests are extremely useful, even if it's just to give a general idea of a regression bug or for new projects.
As far as state is concerned, you create your unit tests as you would with non-UI tests - they clear the database out at the start of the test and rebuild the database to contain nothing except the start state. Each unit test then encapsulates a single page, or usually a distinct task on a page.
http://watin.org/ is another web test tool but for C#/.NET. You write the tests as unit tests:
It's currently IE based but has some experimental support for Firefox and Chrome. You can pretty much automate anything you would do in manual tests, including Javascript interaction.
When developing an ASP.NET site we were able to run unit tests on:
It is possible to TDD all of this, depending on your architecture. The only thing you cannot unit test is the layout of the markup file.

I've always been shy to refer to any of my work as "fine art"... preferring instead to call it "still life". But I recently had an interesting conversation with an Art History major who said that my work wasn't in fact "still life" because there were no people in it, and that to be "still life" it needed to be of people or animals in their daily life activities. Instead she says my work is "fine art". So what is it that actually defines "fine art"? Is it the content? Is it the style? Is it the presentation?
There are really two rather different ways "fine art" is used.
One is to refer to a category of photography. Here what matters isn't necessarily the quality of the photograph, but the intent.
Consider, for example, another possibility. If my primary intent in taking a picture is to document a newsworthy event, then I'm going photojournalism, even if I don't work for a newspaper/TV station/magazine/whatever. If my pictures are good enough, I might be able to get them published; if they're poor, I probably won't. Their later publication or lack thereof, doesn't change the fact that what I'm doing is photojournalism though.
Likewise, if I take a picture with the intent that people will look at it and like it simply because I've taken a beautiful picture, then I'm going fine art photography, even if my result is an abject failure.
By this usage, the intent when taking the picture is (at least primarily) what places it in one category or another. Whether it succeeds in that intent or not is an entirely separate question. By this standard, I think it's fair to say that essentially all still lifes, landscapes, nature photography, etc., falls under the category of "fine art" photography, regardless of how good or poor it might be.
The other usage is what (at least IMO) others have commented on: the actual quality of the photograph in question. I'd tend to agree with what I see as the essence of the opinions already expressed: this falls into the domain of opinion and taste, not fact. Not to put it too crassly, but from this perspective, "fine art" tends to be whatever you can manage to sell -- and the higher price you can sell it for, the "finer" it is. Yes, there are "authority figures" whose opinions on what constitutes fine art tend to be trusted. These can have a huge effect on prices -- but in all honesty, I (for one) consider them mostly self-fulfilling prophecies; when they commend something as great art, the price goes up, largely because of investors (who often either don't have, don't trust, or just don't care about taste of their own) who pay a lot for the work, in the expectation that it'll become valuable because of what the authority figure has said.
Fine arts are to be contrasted with Useful arts.
Fine arts were originally understood to mean visual things created primarily for aesthetic purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness whereas Useful arts were decorative work or craftwork such as tapestry etc. They appealed to the 'finer senses' and also reflected social distinctions (some would say social pretensions).
Now Fine Arts are split into Visual Arts, Auditory Arts and Performance Arts.
The defining characteristic of Fine Arts is the purity of the discipline in its pursuit of aesthetic beauty without reference to usefulness or truthfulness..
It turns out that there is an entire Wikipedia article simply about different disputes about the classification of art. That has a paragraph which I think is useful to this discussion:
As I mentioned in a comment above, some of what you do is probably indeed still life, and some of it might not be. Some photography certainly falls into a practical realm; product photography, family snapshots, journalism. Art is a slippery term no matter how one tries to define it, and certainly some work within those frameworks can wear the label comfortably. But some doesn't, and that's okay too. There's some interesting discussion on this on popular photo blog The Online Photographer — Why Is It (Not) Art?. If you're interested in this, it's worth reading that and the surrounding articles and comments.
Most of my photographs aren't taken with art in mind. They're taken to be photographs. I'm happy with that — although I wish I had more time to devote to working on making art intentionally, as well.
This is the answer a friend gave during the above referenced conversation. I provide it here as the low bar for future answers to shot to overcome.
I can't tell you what fine art is in photography, even though I suspect this definition is not dependent on the subject, but on the techniques used.
One thing I can tell you: no way still life is related with people or animals! from wikipedia:
sure, what you do is still life.
I'll take a shot at "low bar, part II".
Beyond the literal definition (art for art's sake), I've heard that it's "fine art" if someone will pay money for it -- presumably if they didn't commission the work to begin with (ie, a paid portrait).
I think the idea here is that you've seen something you consider art-worthy, captured it with your camera, and presented it to others in a form that makes at least some of them agree that it's art-worthy. The "pay for it" part is merely an indication that the appreciation rises above "meh".
I think that a photograph to be classified as fine art must awaken a deep emotion in the heart and mind of the observer. It must move us. The emotion could be love, pity, tenderness, joy, admiration, awe, etc. Or the emotion could be contempt,hatred, fear,indignation etc. The deeper the emotion or the impact that the image awakens in the observer the greater the art. If the image doesn't move us or awaken an emotion then it's not fine art. A truly fine art image must be indelibly impressed on the mind of the observer so it won't be soon forgotten.

What do you think about the user interface with only an edit form—where there is no separate interface for viewing data—like in Microsoft CRM?
Is it effective? What problems do such interfaces tend to have?

This question came from our site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development.
I think there are cases when users enter/update such a high percentage of the time so you make it the default. When you are using forms every day, you start to know what you're doing and don't have to worry about making a mistake because you're always in edit mode. For instances where users won't use the form enough to develop any fluency, you try to protect them from themselves.
Too often we only develop for one type of user. Often a user's needs evolve through experience and proficiency. My online banking site can "walk" me through entering a transaction or display a grid where I can enter several simultaneously. After using the wizard a few times, the grid just makes more sense, but not at first.
In this case, your primary data entry person for CRM will be sales, marketing and support people. Getting data into a CRM system is an issue because sales people would rather make sales instead of data entry. Anything they perceive as a roadblock should be removed. Support people may be on the phone with a client, so saving a click in this case is crucial. Not sure how many times I've heard apologies while they get the form open.
I'd see this as dangerous and possibly a poor idea for a few reasons:
While I can understand the intent of having such a set-up being convenience there is a price to pay for that which should be understood.
You may be able to control this from the UI preceding the dialogue you are concerned with in your question. That is, you run a search, you get a list and you select one item to open a details window/page. The selection act could allow the user to chose what they want to do (display vs edit).
This gives the user the flexibility to choose the exactly required action. If the data is sensitive, you may want to 'lock' the row when one user requests editing it and then release the lock after the edit is complete.
The above design also allows users who don't have access to edit mode to see the data in read-only mode by either eliminating the menu options from the list or by graying it out.
I like a form that can switch modes without a reload. So it comes up with plain labels, and then by clicking an "edit" button, all the data fields are replaced with form fields. That way you have to mean it about changing the values, but it's not burdensome to do so.

I just noticed that many servers use Microsoft SQL server 2000. But isn't 2000 outdated by 2003? Why are people still using 2000? Would there be any serious security vulnerability by using Microsoft SQL server 2000 sp3a? (MSSQL 8.00.766.00)? What would be the point of running SQL server 2000 in Windows 7 enterprise?
There could be a few factors.
Like ekaj stated, price could be a prohibitive factor as some companies might not be able to afford or justify the cost of upgrading to the newer version, particularly if they do not take security threats seriously.
Another factor could be the need for backward compatibility. I do not have experience with the Microsoft SQL server, so it might not apply in this particular case, but sometimes upgrading software can break compatibility with existing products/solutions. The company in question might not have the people with the right expertise to ensure that the upgrade does not have any compatibility issues.
A quick search of CVE databases turns up a few potential vulnerabilities which may or may not be serious enough to warrant an upgrade.
Some applications will only work in MSSQL 2K - new commands and functions behave differently and can break older applications written on 2K. Even changes in DATE formats can cause problems.

Magnolia Pictures // 2008 // 144 Minutes // Rated R
Reviewed by Appellate Judge Daryl Loomis (Retired) // September 16th, 2009
You don't know me, I don't know you. You get in my car and I take you to your mom.
Director Erick Zonca (Dreamlife of Angels) has been deeply influenced by the films of John Cassavetes, which can clearly be seen in Julia. Tilda Swinton (Orlando) channels Gena Rowlands in one of the best performances of her career, though it's not all peaches. Rampant alcoholism, however, does not make the most enjoyable subject for a kidnapping thriller. Can Swinton buoy this dour crime picture on the strength of her presence alone?
Julia (Swinton) is getting older and the booze is starting to take over her life. The nights of parties and the mornings of not knowing who she wakes up with have kept her from holding down a job and alienated her from her friends; it seems like she's in the spiral toward oblivion. Mitch (Saul Rubinek, True Romance), her last friend and a recovering alcoholic himself, tries to help by making her go to AA meetings and keeping her financially afloat as best he can. At one of these meetings, Julia meets a crazy young drunk who wants her to help kidnap her son, taken years before by his grandfather to protect him. The woman offers Julia a lot of money and, though Julia is hardly a criminal, this money would be enough to finally get her life back on track.
I wish I could fully support Julia (the movie, not the character...that woman's a wreck), I really do. There are some very good things in the film, especially in Sinton's stellar portrayal of the title character. A pathetic full-blown alcoholic who destroys everything she touches, Julia finds every excuse she can to drink. In the bar, men find her witty and attractive, but they always remain distanced enough that she doesn't reveal her deep self-loathing in public. That comes out plenty in private, which she drowns in booze only to continue the cycle. Swinton's performance is so vivid and nuanced; she is the most utterly realistic drunk I've ever seen on film. It's not about the yelling and screaming or her flouncing drunken walk. It's the small things like the way she sticks her tongue out in the morning, licking her lips in vain for a little moisture. It's gross, but true. There's no need for her to complain about having a hangover, this comes out in her whole presence; you can almost smell the gin through the television. When she finally gets her morning drink, her eyes glass over for a second and, when the drink hits her brain, she settles in "normal." Her performance is packed with subtleties that, together, make a scary portrait of a very marginal person.
She isn't the only one with a good showing in Julia. The underrated Rubinek is great, perfectly playing the worst kind of recovering addict, who now sees the drug as pure evil and who can't help but tell you all the horrible things they did while under its influence to try and shock you out of your own supposed addiction. This kind of person has such little self-awareness that they can't see they hurt more than they help and, if they are told that, they devolve into martyrdom. This guy makes me really mad, and he only gets worse until his final scene, where he made me yell out loud at the screen. Even young Aidan Gould, as the kidnapping victim, does great. Normally, I'm pretty down on child acting, but a good performance is a good performance regardless of age, I suppose. The character is an entitled little snot, and he plays it great.
The DVD release of Julia from Magnolia Home Entertainment is also quite good. The film doesn't sport much of a budget, but the gritty style is well-represented on the disc. Julia's garish cocktail dresses would be doubly painful with a hangover, they stand out so well. Flesh tones are very accurate and the image, particularly in the plentiful night scenes, feature strong detail and deep blacks. The transfer occasionally shows some artifacts and some slight edge enhancement, but nothing too noticeable. The surround mix is surprisingly powerful for a dialog-heavy film such as this, but the music and dialog come through loud and clear. While there are no subtitle options, a silly thing to exclude, I do respect the decision in the film not to subtitle the Spanish speaking characters during the scenes in Mexico. I don't know Spanish, so I can't know what they're saying, but that puts me in the same boat as the English speaking characters, which helps add to the immersiveness. All we have for extras is a half hour of deleted scenes, which I'd generally be fine with, were it not for what I'm about to write.
As good as the performances are, the story absolutely sinks Julia. This anti-alcohol rant couched as thriller is one of the poorest excuses for coherent storytelling I've seen in some time. The film starts fine; the opening scenes as we get to know Julia are intriguing and well-directed, though we don't know where the story is about to go. I rue the minute I found out, however, because that's when the story starts to resemble a poorly played game of Jenga than feature film. Once Julia agrees to the kidnapping, her life is suddenly changed dramatically. She's still a drunk, but gone are the scenes from the bar, with nothing nearly as compelling to replace them. As the kidnapping takes place, the mother is nowhere to be found and, as things go wrong, Julia makes a choice that not only is very out of character, but turns her into a violent criminal. Though the mother is occasionally mentioned afterward, she disappears from the film entirely, somehow leaving Julia as the orchestrator of this crime. Every subsequent event is based on unexplained coincidences and, by the end of this overlong yarn, Julia is redeemed. How? I don't see it, she seems worse. Add to this the final speech from Mitch that, while well-performed, clues us in that this film is little more than a weird anti-alcoholic screed. Those deleted scenes I mentioned are more scenes just like this, and that's the last thing I want to see.
Julia is a frustrating, convoluted, and exceptionally performed mess. Swinton is amazing and the film is terrible. Watch the film for her performance, but fair warning about the story.
Guilty, except for Swinton, who shines. Now let's go get a drink. You're

5 Ways to Beat Old-School Games Using Math
#2. Pac-Man: There's a Hiding Spot in the Maze
Pac-Man may seem like an easy kiddie game to you, but what's the highest level you've ever reached? Five? Six? Come on, fire up your smartphone or iPad or whatever (there's probably a downloadable version for your toaster even) and let's see how well you do. In fact, this game is so hard that it wasn't until almost two decades after its release that someone actually completed all 256 levels.
He was bald when he started playing.
And the reason why this game is so hard is that those relentless ghosts never stop going after Pac-Man (possibly because he was their murderer) -- the whole game becomes a frantic dance to avoid getting cornered between ghosts. So to even have a shot at reaching the double digits, you'd have to be incredibly skilled at dodging them and getting the timing just perfect ...
How to Win:
... or just know how to hide from them. Yep, there's a "blind spot" on the maze where the ghosts can't reach you. Here's a demonstration of it:
As long as a ghost isn't practically biting your ass already, the moment you reach that spot, they'll start cluelessly circling around without ever touching you. This happens because the ghosts aren't actually programmed to chase you -- if they were, the game would be impossible. Instead, each one has different patterns: Only the red ghost (Blinky) is programmed to go after you. The pink and blue ones (Pinky and Inky) only want to position themselves at a specific place relative to you, and the orange one (Clyde) just moves around randomly.
Clyde died young, from too many paint chips.
The fact that the ghosts move entirely based on your position means that you can trick them into going around in circles without touching you, which allows for bathroom breaks or making out with all the groupies that will naturally form around you from being so good at Pac-Man. What's more, advanced players have used this information to create a series of patterns for Pac-Man that you can use to breeze through each maze without ever touching a ghost, like this one for level 1:
Math ruins everything.
Since every maze after level 20 is exactly the same (because at that point the developers said, "Eh, no one's gonna get that far anyway"), when you reach that point, it's just a matter of repeating the same pattern over and over ... for only six hours.
Bonus: When you're done, you get to wear your computer's innards like an Aztec warrior.
#1. Battleship: Aim for the Center
The whole point of Battleship is you can't see your opponent's board, or where their little plastic ships are positioned. So the game essentially consists of calling out random numbers until you luck out and get a "hit." If it wasn't for the fact that a clever game designer made it about ships blowing the hell out of each other, we're pretty sure it never would have caught on.
Bingo + Explosions = Suddenly interesting.
Since each player is free to place the pieces anywhere they want on the Battleship board, that means it's just about lobbing pegs at the board until you accidentally hit one, right?
How to Win:
Actually, it's not as random as it seems. Statistically, you're far more likely to score a hit closer to the center of the board. How do we know this? Because someone went through the trouble of simulating billions of possible Battleship boards and used that information to create this:
That is a map representing which squares are more likely to have a ship in them, with the brighter ones toward the center being the luckier ones. The reason for this is that there are only so many ways to place the ships so that they'll fall on a specific square. Look at the carrier, which takes a whopping five squares: There are 10 ways to place it so that it touches a square on the center, but only two ways to position it so that it touches one in the corner.
You can see it here -- taking only the carrier into account, the probability anus clenches down even more:
Whereas if you're looking for that elusive patrol boat (which only takes two squares), it loosens up considerably:
Battleship: Goatse.
Patrol boats, you see, are more likely to hang out near the corners simply because in most cases the center will already be taken up by all the larger boats, leaving them little place to hide.
But if using probability maps isn't dishonest enough for you, the same guy who created them also came up with this interactive board where you can plot your shots in real time and see the stats for each square adjust accordingly. Tested against a computer opponent, it won nine out of 10 games.
Because "fair play" went out the window the moment it was decided that women can't play.
It's almost like having a powerful radar, which should come in pretty handy when you get to the part of the game where aliens come down and only that guy from Friday Night Lights can save the world. (Hollywood wouldn't lie to us.)

MOODY (November 30, 2012)--A former Moody school board member and city employee was sentenced Thursday to state prison after he pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child.
District Judge Matt Johnson sentenced Michael Lloyd Aycock, 35, to eight years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
Aycock was arrested in May on the original charge, but posted a $250,000 bond and was released from the McLennan County Jail.
The complaint stems from an incident in August 2010, in which "Aycock… did intentionally and knowingly have sexual intercourse with another that was not his spouse, and, who at 16 years old was not legally able to give consent and was also otherwise not able to give consent due to a state of intoxication," the affidavit submitted for the arrest warrant said.
Aycock resigned from both the school board seat and his position as public works manager with the City of Moody.

Professor Penny Venetis, Co-Director of Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic, Appointed Judge Debevoise Scholar
Clinical Professor Penny Venetis, Co-Director of the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, has been named the Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise Scholar.
|Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise and Clinical Professor Penny Venetis at the law school's formal announcement of her scholar title.
"In 18 years teaching and supervising the work of students in the Rutgers Con Lit Clinic, Penny Venetis has recorded a considerable number of advances in important civil rights and international human rights cases," said Associate Dean for Clinical Education Jon Dubin."It is most fitting, therefore, that her new scholar title honors a courageous judge who has issued so many important decisions advancing justice for disadvantaged persons and groups in his distinguished career on the federal bench."
The Honorable Dickinson R. Debevoise, Senior Judge, United States District Court, District of New Jersey, has been a pillar of the Newark legal community for nearly 60 years and a member of the federal bench since his appointment by President Carter in 1979. Among his many former law clerks are the current Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Stuart Rabner; the first African-American Attorney General of New Jersey, Peter Harvey; and Clinical Professor Penny Venetis.
Prior to joining Rutgers Law School in 1994, Venetis practiced law for four years with the firm of O'Melveny & Myers. While there she worked on complex commercial litigation as well as human rights projects.
At Rutgers she specializes in civil rights and international human rights impact litigation. The work of Venetis and her students in Jama v. Esmor Correctional Services, Inc., which successfully challenged inhumane conditions of detention for immigrants seeking asylum or refugee status in a New Jersey detention facility and recovered damages for the plaintiffs, received the 2008 Clinical Legal Education Association's award for best clinical case or project.
In the past year Venetis supervised litigation to ensure the integrity of electronic voting machines in New Jersey; drafted and coordinated amicus work in the U.S Supreme Court in the Alien Tort Statute human rights case of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum; and published three law review articles: "Making Human Rights Treaty Law Actionable in the United States: The Case for Universal Implementing Legislation" (63 Ala. L. Rev. 97, 2011), "The Broad Jurisprudential Significance of Sosa v.

I have been using the Walker iphone GTD app. Its great, but the horizons of focus part of it is really lacking. It feels like this part of the app was added as an after thought. The rest of the app is brilliant and I've used it very successfully. However, I am now feeling limited by the inability to be able to also track and monitor my horizons of focus.
'Horizons of focus' is a part of the GTD methodology of Dave Allen. It is a specific part of the methodology that deals with areas or scales of thought. The app I mention was great at everything GTD apart from that area. The functionality that would help in this area regarding that app would be if you could better organise your tasks by horizon. I wrote a review about it here: http://www.codebloc.co.uk/2014/01/best-iphone-to-do-list-app-uses-gtd-methodology/

WINTERSVILLE - Oh what a difference a Bre makes.
When the girls basketball teams representing Indian Creek and Harrison Central collided earlier this season, Bre Berryman was on the bench, recovering from an injury. The result a 59-55 victory for the Huskies.
The sophomore standout was back for Thursday's clash and played a huge role in reversing the outcome.

GRABBING A BOARD — Indian Creek's Kiarra Kamarec secures a defensive rebound in front of Harrison Central's Shannon Compher as teammates Brooke Mains and Bre Berryman look on during the Redskins' 65-35 win Thursday.
-- Fred Younce
Berryman recorded a double-double (20 points and 13 rebounds) and keyed a second quarter surge as the Redskins rolled to a 65-35 Buckeye 8 triumph.
With the win, Erin DeSantis' club moves to 12-5 on the season and remains firmly in the hunt for a league title. Harrison Central, meanwhile, falls to 8-10.
Freshman Bethany Davis had a career night for the winners, scoring 17 and dishing out four assists. She was extremely efficient from the floor, knocking down seven of her nine attempts.
Creek held an 8-5 lead after the opening stanza but Harrison's Kara Dunfee started the second with a triple to knot the score. Kiarra Kamarec answered with a three of her own to put the hosts up 11-8. Shannon Compher countered with a swish from behind the arc. Three of the first four Huskie field goals came from downtown.
Following Compher's make, Creek took control.
Held scoreless in the first period, Berryman converted a Kamarec feed into points. She got a second hoop off an offensive rebound. A Kamarec free throw and another Berryman deuce, this one off a Davis assist, put the Redskins ahead 18-11.
Huskie Ronna Orr and Berryman exchanged buckets before Davis recorded a conventional three-point play, going coast to coast after a Berryman block. Berryman's next hoop came off another Davis pass. Kamarec got a pair then fed Davis for two more and the hosts were up 29-13, having outscored the Huskies 18-2.
Ten of Berryman's game-high 20 points came during the second frame. Creek held a 29-15 advantage at the intermission.
"We did OK in the first quarter but we were making it too easy on them," DeSantis said. "We were forcing our shots and not being patient. In the second quarter, we were a little more patient, probably the most patient we have been all season. We were able to get good looks and make our shots."
Creek hoisted 27 field goal tries during the first 16 minutes, making 13. Harrison Central, meanwhile, struggled, netting just six of 30 (three connections coming from behind the arc).
"I think tonight was more about us than it was about them," Harrison Central's Nick Yourkovich said. "They are a good team but we came out with a complete lack of enthusiasm. When we don't play with enthusiasm, we are not very good and it doesn't matter who we are playing."
The Huskies did show some life in the third frame, running off seven straight points to climb within nine at 31-22. Post player Katie Ellzy sparked the run with four markers. Creek, thanks to eight points from Berryman and four from Brooke Mains, outscored the visitors 16-4 from there and led by 21 (47-26) heading into the final stanza.
"We know what's on the line now and we're trying to work to make a statement regarding how we have improved from last year to now," DeSantis noted. "We have made great strides. We have more confidence and the girls understand what we are trying to do.
"It's clicking and I'm really excited. I see us getting a little better each game and that's what you want."
Like Berryman, Kamarec recorded a double-double for the winners. She scored 12 points and collected 11 rebounds. As a team, Creek grabbed 40 missed shots. Berryman also swatted away six Huskie field goal attempts.
Ellzy led Harrison Central with nine. Compher and Orr combined for 12. The Huskies had 26 rebounds (Compher grabbing five) and were just 14 for 65 from the floor.
"We stressed all week they have two big girls inside," Yourkovich said about his team's shooting performance and reliance on the three-ball. "But I think the girls took that a little far. We have a pretty good post player too and for a while, we quit throwing it in there.
"Granted, they have Bre down there but I think that really hurt us offensively."
The large lead allowed DeSantis to sit her four upper class players and give some fourth-quarter playing time to her freshmen.
"It's a whole new experience for them, going from eighth grade to the varsity" she added. "The game is so much faster and the girls are much more physical. But I see them gaining confidence and realizing they can compete. Plus it was touching to see our older kids cheering for the younger girls. That to me is a team."
DeSantis and her team face a major Buckeye 8 challenge Monday, going on the road to face Union Local. Harrison Central will celebrate senior night Monday when Bellaire makes the trip to Cadiz.

I'm not sure what to make of the direction of a vector with components (0,0,0). Is it an undefined vector?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with a vector having all zero components. But a vector like that does have an undefined direction. So the definition of a vector as "something which has a magnitude and a direction" can throw you off here a little.
In mathematics that is the identity element 0 for vector addition, and is a key object in the definition of a vector space.
Physically, if $(0, 0, 0)$ is the position vector of some particle, then that just means it is located at the origin.

Coggins, Martin to enroll again at Sacred Heart
WATERBURY — For more than two weeks, it's been uncertain where football players David Coggins and Javon Martin would spend their senior years of high school. That all changed Wednesday when the two football players decided to return to Sacred Heart High.
The two are expected to register for classes this morning, according to Sacred Heart Principal Anthony "Butch" Azzara.
"They met with Mrs. (Eileen) Regan, our president, today to discuss the financial arrangements of last year and this year, and if they are met, they will be returning to Sacred Heart," said Azzara.
Whether Coggins, an All-State receiver who has already committed to play at Boston College for the 2013 season, and Martin, a quarterback, can play football this season for the Hearts is still up in the air while an investigation into potential recruiting violations continues.
Naugatuck High coach Rob Plasky resigned amid allegations he had tried to recruit the two to play at Naugatuck. Both Naugatuck and Sacred Heart are required to submit reports to the CIAC about the matter.
CIAC executive director Karissa L. Niehoff said Wednesday no paperwork has been filed yet, although Naugatuck's attorney has sent the CIAC notification of his investigation. Once a formal report is completed, the CIAC will get a copy, said Niehoff.
She noted there is no set deadline for the report to be filed.
The CIAC Board of Control doesn't meet again until Sept. 20 when a vote from the 18-member panel on the allegations is expected. The board would also decide whether Coggins and Martin are eligible to play this season. Azzara, a member of the Board of Control, would have to recuse himself.
More than two weeks ago, Coggins, Martin and Meme Martin, the legal guardian of Coggins and mother of Javon Martin, asked to withdraw from Sacred Heart. They were hoping to find a residence in Naugatuck.
Sacred Heart officials wouldn't release their academic transcripts while partial tuition was still owed for the 2011-12 year. Both students also needed to take finals in recent weeks to fulfill their requirements from their junior years.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Employees at the Grand Rapids-based retailer Meijer raised $3 million for the 2012 United Way Workforce Campaign for the second year in a row. The workforce campaign aims to improve the lives of those in need by meeting critical needs of the community.
"Thanks to the continued generosity of our team members, we are able to help those in need and support the community through the United Way," co-chairman Hank Meijer said. "Since my father and grandfather came to Grand Rapids more than 60 years ago, the United Way has been at the heart of how we think of supporting our friends and neighbors and improving the health and well-being of our community."
Meijer, a pioneer of the one-stop shopping concept, operates 199 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Every year, Meijer extends an opportunity to its 60,000 team members to support the United Way campaign by making a pledge. Meijer collects the pledges after the three-week campaign, and distributes the donations to 78 individual United Way organizations throughout its communities through weekly payroll deductions, beginning January 1.
"What's great about this campaign is that it gives Meijer team members an opportunity to help their neighbors, because all the money raised stays within their local communities," said Stacie Behler, VP of public affairs and corporate giving.
Each partnering United Way distributes the contributions to a variety of local agencies and programs to address critical needs. For example, the Heart of West Michigan United Way set a campaign goal of more than $12 million to support their efforts in Kent County.
"Achieving our financial goals is what enables us to achieve our bold community goals of supporting a quality education, with enough income to support a family, and good health," Heart of West Michigan United Way president and CEO Maureen Noe said. "There is strength in numbers, and by working as a team, we're all heading in the same direction and carrying the same message: Please give to United Way and when you do, let others know why."
