How could Woot limit posters to help stop spammers?
Triggered by the current counterfeit handbag spammer, which I think demonstrates an opportunity to think of ways Woot could avoid things like this.
If you're determined to spam the boards with your counterfeit crap, all you have to do is sign up then post away. Given the type, that means multiple questions and multiple bogus comments giving the URL to your site.
How would you set things up to limit this? I'd suggest having a limit like one post per day until you demonstrate some value to the community, perhaps indicated by having a question or comment accumulate 10 up-votes.
You could even make this more complicated, with a sliding post limit based on upvotes/downvotes of your questions/comments, but that seems overcomplicated to me.
How would you suggest Woot change things to help make the spammer problem go away?
19 Answers answer
This happens now and then. It'll pass. Thanks for making this question, though, so I can remind people that commenting on questions/deals posted, or responding to comment spam, just makes more work for the cleanup crew.
These folks have been especially busy, and I'm sure someone's not having a good time right at the moment. I'll try to find the specific quotes from folks like @thunderthighs and @faughtey (to name a couple) that have mentioned this.
[Edit] Whoa. Am I good or what?
Direct from our friend, Ms ThunderThighs herself.
In my limited time here I almost never see this. Unless things change, just block the spammer.
@shrdlu: Thanks for being so helpful and trying to help us make staff's lives a little easier (or less difficult?).
Another question that would be good to know the answer to: by tattling on multiples of the spammer's deals are we just making more work for staff? Should we just tattle on one of their deals, leave a note that they're spamming up the site, and then let staff do the cleaning up? I don't want to be the jerk that's making staff click through a bunch tattle emails if it's not necessary.
Be a real MAN!!! Try out this product. Ladies falls at your fe.eet.
@kristiwsu: This is a very good question. I'd suggest that when you see one comment/deal/question, a tattle is good. When it's an overwhelming pattern like this, consider that there are nearly 800 people with black or purple triangles, which implies a potential 200-300 tattle emails, at a minimum. Make a tattle that includes the user, like this:
"There's a user, http://deals.woot.com/deals/users/stoopidspammer, who has made multiple comments/postings, including this one"
You can say something similar in the tattle, but simply providing the link to the user, from one of the places where that user has spammed, is plenty. Resist the urge to comment on anything they've done. Come vent over here, if you absolutely have to vent, but try not to name the spammer (we can ALL see it), and there's no sense wasting your downvotes. You don't get those back when the stuff's deleted, you know.
Personally, I enjoy watching he community shred these postings, and watching the downvotes build until they disappear.
I think imposing limitations on deals would be more problematic than just letting us report them.
@shrdlu: stoopidspammer made me laugh. :)
@shrdlu: Although I wont comment on them anyways, I don't think this applies to question spam. I think this is only in regards to people spamming inside of a legit question or deal where the staff has to remove the comment individually to keep the original post intact.
I believe the staff can remove the entire question at the same time. Either way, no need to give them any attention.
If deals.woot would tag deals that link to "new merchants" (merchants that are new to deals.woot or that the staff is altogether unfamiliar with) as "New to Deals.Woot" or something along those lines, I think it would help the community be more aware of what could be potentially a scam. Of course, some might argue that it would give new businesses an unfair disadvantage, but I think with all of the previous problems (dollardealsclub, onecco, etc), it would be really helpful. However, that's just my 2-cents worth.
@shrdlu: @thunderthighs' post refers to comments and answers, not the actual deals/questions. The reason is that they can tase and entire thread without a hitch. But if someone is spamming their website in the comments/answer section (like was happening a year ago when she posted that), then they not only have to delete the comments/answers, but they have to delete all of the following replies to keep that thread in tact.
@capguncowboy, @lichme, and others: I have some theories on why I believe it's not good to comment on the deals/questions themselves. Please note, these are only theories, but I think they have merit.
Activity is one of those things measured when pushing something to popularity (or top-ness, or whatever they're calling it nowadays). Voting down, massively, is useful for crap like the recently (and deservedly) maligned "onecco" but less useful for spammers, since they will eventually be deleted (and kudos to staff for the cleanup, as usual). I believe that you don't get the downvotes back. I think that I've tested this a couple of times, but it's pretty hard for me to hit a downvote limit (I like voting stuff up, which means that I usually have a tremendous store of potential downvotes, which I mostly don't use).
Back on point. When there are multiple comments on something, and downvotes, those are both still activity, just as "views" and (even worse) click-throughs.
What difference does all that activity make, you are asking yourself? Yes, you are, I can hear you muttering under your breath.
Activity up on one thing means activity down on others. The store is not infinite. Rather like reputation, it's fixed in nature. Don't forget that a deal (or question) is judged not only on its own merits, but also on how it does in relationship to thing nearby it. If you all focus on the multiple posts by a serial spammer, then those things near it have less chance of gaining the limelight.
Remember, I said theory (at one time, we'd have seen quick commentary from the developers on whether I was right, wrong, or somewhere in between, but mostly they seem silent nowadays).
I also note that whoever is killing off those posts is still working on it, since the deals, and comments on the deals, are still there.
I once suggested background checks, Woot! court/prison, and gladiatorial events to curb spam here. @shrdlu even thought it was funny, so it has to have some merit.
It seems to me that the DW community takes care of spammers and crappy companies like these guys on a daily basis, some of these companies have no idea what they are up against lol
I havn't found spam to be that much of an issue.
This is my suggestion for how to stop spammers and I am adding it so you can all feel better about yourselves because your potential solutions are probably better than mine. I think only I should be allowed to post anything. I will spamish all spam to Spaim.
Realistically/ efficiently? I don't see much you could do. Having trial periods or limits or requiring mod approval to post (even just for newcomers) would require way too many resources and would yield complications. Even if someone has to be around for a month before they can post, for instance, they can just wait out that time before they spam.
Additionally, that would be very discouraging to new wooters, as if they have an issue and can't post about it or ask, they might decide the community isn't worth it.
Honestly the best course of action is just to strike it down as it happens. Flag, report, tattle. If you notice a spam site or spam account, tattle it or e-mail Woot so they know to blacklist anything from the site
@shrdlu: "Am I good or what?" Of course you're good! Was there ever any question?
One thing I think would be helpful to everyone concerned about spam: If you tattle a spammy deal AND it looks as if you're awake early enough to be the first to tattle on it, please post that you've tattled it. Then I won't worry about doing so, thus avoiding the possible piling-up of unnecessary tattles.
Tattles: Don't worry about too many tattles Spam deals/questions. As soon as the deal/question is deleted, all associated tattles are archived out of the active list.
Commenting on Spam: If you want to comment on a spam Deal or question, I guess you can. Those get deleted when we delete the deal/question so it's really a non-issue for us. If you have concerns about a deal, be sure to post those for others to see and if it's a high-alert concern, tattle as well.
Just please don't reply to spam comments (posting spam deals as comments withing other deals). We can quickly delete those comments but we'll miss deleting your comments so they hang out in the deal and kinda make no sense.
Geez, I don't check the site for one morning and I miss all the fun. Looks like someone else got all the "pew pew pew" fun. In other news, I had a good time at the Dallas Comic Con.
@thunderthighs: Sorry that you missed the fun here, but I'm sure that Comic Con was just as, um, interesting.

I think someone in another question here (or on another site?) said he was told by his "chassan teacher" not to look at his wife unclothed. It seems like this is not the real halacha to me, or at least not everyone holds it. What are the opinions?

It is definitely allowed according to halachah; this teacher was probably speaking about what he felt was the pious and holy way to behave. But the truth is that one must be extremely careful when trying to act "beyond the letter of the law," that he should not damage his Sholom Bayis in the process. The Chazon Ish in his "Iggeres Kodesh" (cited in Mishkan Yisroel page 50) puts it as follows:
In other words, the primary and overriding goal is to foster a healthy and comfortable relationship. Any practices that are done on account of "perishus" and "kedushah" should not detract from that.
(I would hope that the aforementioned chassan teacher conveyed these nuances.)

Understudies Give Viewers a First-Rate Performance
If Americans wanted to know what a real debate sounds like, they got one Thursday night, courtesy of the two men who are supposed to be taking second billing in the presidential race.
Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan provided millions of Americans the kind of slugfest the presidential contenders themselves didn't provide in their first debate. It was potent and lively, and nobody could walk away wondering how the parties differ.
Clips and Analysis from the Vice Presidential Debate
It took Mr. Biden a while to get wound up; he was stern but reserved for the first half-hour while the debate ranged across the area of his maximum expertise, which is national security.
But once the debate got to the differences between the two parties on spending, entitlements and taxes, the sparks flew. The two men couldn't agree any more than their parties have over the past four years.
The vice president portrayed Republicans as opposed to the crown jewels of the Democratic Party, Social Security and Medicare. "We will be no part of a voucher program [for Medicare] or the privatization of Social Security," he declared. The Republicans' plans for what their tax cuts will do for the economy are "not mathematically possible."
He found ways to repeatedly drive home the fact that he has been around a lot longer than his 42-year-old Republican opponent. He invoked his dealings with Ronald Reagan, and with the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill. He charged that Republicans put two wars on a credit card.
Through it all, Mr. Ryan stood his ground and gave back without flinching, giving as good as he got. He marshaled facts and figures and the details he has mastered as the Republicans' budget wunderkind.
And he subtly raised the question that was on the minds of everybody watching: Was Mr. Biden being so tough because he was trying to make up ground his boss, President Barack Obama, lost in his own lackluster debate performance against Mitt Romney at their own debate last week?
"I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground," Mr. Ryan said at one point, implying that Mr. Biden was overcompensating.
And that, in fact, will be the question that will linger in the aftermath of this debate. Did Mr. Biden even the tables in the debate sweepstakes, or did he overcompensate? Did he fight back or push too far? Were his wry smiles as Mr. Ryan spoke the sign of a wise elder tolerating a smart but ill-informed younger brother, or a sign of smugness?
Ultimately, it's likely that partisans of both political parties came away pleased. It's also likely that independents, who tire of the fighting in Washington, were less so.
Conservatives will be pleased because the debate showed they got in Mr. Ryan what they hoped for when Mr. Romney made him his surprise choice as a running mate: Somebody who would make a detailed and unapologetic defense of conservative principles on taxes and spending.

Top Debate Moments
When presidential candidates debate, voters get a rare opportunity to see how they respond under pressure. Sometimes, the smallest details become big turning points. Take a look at six key moments in presidential debate history.
He defended both tax cuts and changes in Medicare and Social Security, and did it in a way Mr. Romney can't: by referring back to his family's middle-class roots.
"My mom and I had my grandmother move in with us who was facing Alzheimer's," he said. "Medicare was there for her, just like it's there for my mom right now who's a Florida senior. After my dad died, my mom and I got Social Security survivors benefits. Helped me pay for college."
And he used his relative youth as an argument for change: Those who change Medicare for younger adults are those who are saving the program, not those who would leave it as is: "Reform it for my generation," he said.
But Mr. Biden pleased liberals by having none of it. He responded with the kind of incredulity that those on the left wanted President Obama to bring to the discussion last week. He positioned his party as the creator of Medicare and Social Security, and Republicans as the party that, decades later, still hasn't entirely bought into them.
"Look, these guys haven't been big on Medicare from the beginning," he said. "Their party's not been big on Medicare from the beginning. And they've always been about Social Security as little as you can do. Look, folks, use your common sense. Who do you trust on this?"
Nowhere was the ideological gap more clear than in the closing statements. For Mr. Biden, the economic debate is just about leveling the nation's economic playing field for the middle class, and helping those "looking for an even shot"—people like his own mother and father, and his hometown of Scranton, Pa.
For Mr. Ryan, the economic debate is about whether to put a businessman in the White House and whether to stick with "a stagnant economy that promotes more government dependency, or a dynamic, growing economy that promotes opportunity and jobs."
They framed choices worthy of debate—and the stuff of this election.

The Platonians or Plato's Children were a humanoid species native to the planet Sahndara who patterned their lives after the teachings of ancient Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato.
When the Sahndara star exploded around 400 BC, a group of thirty-eight refugees traveled to Earth where they settled during the time of Plato.
After the time of Plato passed, the settlers moved on to another planet, a class M planet, they named Platonius. Here they continued to follow the teachings of Plato, but soon they discovered that they had developed psychokinetic powers, attributed to the planet's kironide-rich food.
They described their colony as a principality, but their government was set up on the most powerful psionic, in this case Parmen being supreme. Considering that each Platonian's ability appeared to attuned to a different frequency, which made combining their powers impossible, Parmen's authority was unchallenged. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren")

Loaning Money to Your Child
In This Article:
Money ABCs
A promissory note is a written pledge to pay a set sum at a set time or on demand.
Piggybank on It
There's a very good reason to put a loan to your child in writing. Should your child default and you're unable to collect, you'll be able to write off the loan as a non-business bad debt on your income tax return. Without proof of the loan, your deduction may be lost.
Make It Formal
When kids get a little older and want more than just an advance of $5 or $20, you may not want to keep things casual. A big advance on an allowance or a loan to buy a big-ticket item should be treated formally.
- Put it in writing. Make your child sign statement about what has been loaned to him. This statement is really a type of promissory note in which he agrees to repay the amount stated.
- Set a repayment schedule. You can leave the time for repayment open-ended or can make the loan payable on demand when you say so. It's probably a better idea to set a timetable for repaying the loan, though, so your child doesn't overlook this obligation. Don't leave the debt to be repaid "when he has the money." Require him to make small repayments (or to forgo a portion of his allowance) on certain dates.
If your child is borrowing from you to pay college expenses, you might not want to start repayment until after graduation. By then, he'll be working full-time.
- Charge interest. If the loan is going to run for more than just a few weeks, it can be a good learning experience to charge interest. You won't get rich on the interest, but your child will see the real cost of borrowing. How much should you charge? You don't want to make the interest too low, because it's not realistic. Nor do you want to make it too high. It's probably a good idea to use the commercial rate being charged on a personal loan in your area. To find out the going rate, just call your neighborhood bank or look at ads in the local newspaper. Remember that the purpose of the interest isn't to create an income for you, but to teach a lesson to your child.
Piggybank on It
Adults who take loans receive coupon books or get billed monthly to remind them of their obligation. If you're making a loan to your child, consider using some mechanism to track repayments. Notations on a calendar may be enough of a reminder.
Money ABCs
Imputed interest is interest income that the lender is treated as having received, and the lender can be taxed on this amount even though it's only a fiction created by the tax law.
Keep in mind that the tax law may treat you as if you had charged interest even if you make the loan interest-free. Under so-called imputed interest rules, a lender is treated as receiving interest that he effectively waived by not charging.
If the lender makes a low-interest loan, he's treated as receiving the difference between the amount charged and what the government thinks should have been charged. The amount of interest is based on applicable federal interest rate (AFR) at the time the loan is made. That rate changes every month, and there are different rates for loans of three years or less (short-term), loans of three to nine years (mid-term), and loans over nine years or more (long-term). However, no interest is imputed to the lender in two situations:
- $10,000 gift loan. If the amount of loans between the lender and borrower—you and your child—isn't more than $10,000, there's no imputed interest as long as the money isn't used to buy income-producing assets (such as stocks or CDs).
- $100,000 gift loan. If the amount of loans between you and your child is no more than $100,000, there's no imputed interest as long as your child's net investment income isn't more than $1,000. For example, if you make an interest-free loan of $25,000 that your child uses for college, there's no imputed interest to you as long as your child's interest, dividends, and capital gains do not exceed $1,000.

ingredient information
Chocolate Dark Organic
Chocolate raw and processed foods that originate from the bean of the tropical cacao tree. It is a common ingredient in many kinds of sweets such as chocolate candy, ice creams, cookies, cakes, pies, chocolate mousse, and other desserts. It is one of the more popular flavours in the world. Chocolate was created by the Mesoamerican civilization, from cacao beans, and cultivated by pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Maya and Aztec, who used it as a basic component in a variety of sauces and beverages. The cocoa beans were ground and mixed with water to produce a bitter beverage which was reserved only to the highest noblemen and clerics of the Mesoamerican world. The word "chocolate" comes from the Nahuatl words Xocol meaning "bitter" and Atl meaning "water". Chocolate is made from the fermented, roasted, and ground beans taken from the pod of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, which was native to Central America and Mexico, but is now cultivated throughout the tropics. The beans have an intensely flavored bitter taste. The resulting products are known as "chocolate" or, in some parts of the world, cocoa.[1] It is the solid and fat combination, sweetened with sugar and other ingredients, that is made into chocolate bars and which is commonly referred to as chocolate by the public. It can also be made into beverages (called cocoa and hot chocolate). The first chocolate beverages were made by the Aztecs and the Mayas and later the Europeans. Chocolate is often produced as small molded forms in the shape of animals, people, or inanimate objects to celebrate festivals worldwide. For example, there are moulds of rabbits or eggs for Easter, coins for Hanukkah, Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) for Christmas, and hearts for Valentine's Day. Chocolate is any product based 99% on cocoa solid and/or cocoa fat. Because it is used in a vast number of other foods, any change in the cost of making it has a huge impact on the industry. Adding ingredients is an aspect of the taste. On the other hand, reducing cocoa solid content, or substituting cocoa fat with a non-cocoa one, reduces the cost of making it. There has been disagreement in the EU about the definition of chocolate. Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified,

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) - Our cool and wet summer was not good for many outdoor plans, but it was a benefit to many fall crops.
Jackson's Orchard is known for their peaches and apples, which are larger and juicer this year because of this summer's weather. As the season changes to fall, pumpkins are beginning to make their way out.
As the orchard prepares, they say customers should find some sizable pumpkins because of great growing weather.
"It was wonderful. We had cool weather, plenty of rain and just enough sunshine to really make a good growing season," says Jonathan Price of Jackson's Orchard.
Fall products are rolling out at Jackson's in the coming weeks before their annual Pumpkin Fest.
This year's festival starts September 28th and 29th and every weekend in October.

NEW CUMBERLAND - Two state grants were accepted by the City of New Cumberland during Monday's city council meeting.
State Sen. Jack Yost, D-Wellsburg, and state Sen. Orphy Klempa, D-Wheeling, presented council with two state grants -a $6,333 grant from the Governor's Community Participation Grant for improvements at the city's water and sewage systems; and a $5,000 grant from the state Senate's discretionary fund, which will be used for a curtain for the New Cumberland Municipal Building's multi-purpose room, according to Yost.
"We all work very well together to help (the cities along the Ohio River)," said Yost, adding the grants don't require a match from municipalities, but they still have "some skin in the game."

ATTAINING FUNDING — New Cumberland Council accepted two state grants during its Monday meeting. Those involved were, from left, state Sen. Orphy Klempa, D-Wheeling; George Hines, city community service director; Richard Blackwell, New Cumberland mayor; and state Sen. Jack Yost, D-Wellsburg. -- Mark Miller
George Hines, city community service director, said a curtain in the multi-purpose room would allow the city to set up a banquet area separate from the gymnasium which could be used by the public and possibly generate funds for the city.
In other matters:
Council discussed upgrading city sidewalks on Ridge Avenue from Clay Street to the Smith Gas Station. Arthur Watson, 2nd Ward councilman, said the city needed to begin the process of replacing the sidewalk. He proposed a resolution to advertise for an engineer to look into the matter. Council unanimously voted to approve the resolution. Also, discussion was held on the replacement of the steps and railing of the Hancock County Courthouse and whether they were the responsibility of the county or New Cumberland. Council voted 6-0 to seek bids for replacement.
Lu Ann Johnson of the West Virginia Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation approached council seeking its support for legislation encouraging the emerging gas and shale industry to consider hiring local employees affiliated with the Upper Ohio Valley Building and Construction Trades Council. Johnson said the trade council contained "18,000 skilled, drug-free workers" in a variety of trades that could be used for construction related to gas and oil exploitation. Council approved model legislation supporting the matter.
Patrolman Eric Maruca of the New Cumberland Police Department was sworn in to the rank of corporal during the meeting. Maruca also told council the department's new cruiser was nearly ready for use.
Council voted to declare Nov. 18-24 as part of Christian Heritage Week in New Cumberland. Council also voted the city's Halloween trick-or-treat hours would be 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 31.
There will be a meeting of the water and sewage board 5 p.m. Oct. 9; a meeting of the finance committee at 3 p.m. Oct. 16; and a meeting of the street committee at 3 p.m. Oct. 17. All meetings will be in council chambers.

I also use twitter and facebook. I do get huge amount of traffic with these social networking sites.
I use twitter.
Twitter and Facebook goes fine for me. Before I include them in my list, I would just like to know if I am right or wrong: Do Digg, Delcious, SU, Reditt and YBuzz fall in the category of Social Media, cos if they do, then I prefer them over Facebook and Twitter anytime.
Facebook and twitter are are good source of traffic. Engaging on these social networking sites may have a better chances to increase the amount of traffic that you are getting.
Social sites may give quick good traffic but they are not that good for long term goals. other thing is if your content is really of quality then you can use social sites for getting fast backlinks.

Baseball Investigating Report of PED Use
Major League Baseball said it is investigating reports that a South Florida anti-aging clinic supplied performance-enhancing drugs to several players, including Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, from 2009 to 2012. Rodriguez was one of six players named in a story published Tuesday by Miami New Times. The Daily News and New York Times reported over the weekend that baseball is looking into players' ties to the clinic.
Rodriguez has admitted using steroids from 2001 to 2003, but a statement released by a public-relations firm hired by Rodriguez said the "purported documents referenced in the story—at least as they relate to Alex Rodriguez—are not legitimate." A Rodriguez spokesman also said Rodriguez denies taking PEDs during the time frame described in the Miami New Times story.
In a statement, the Yankees said, "We fully support the Commissioner's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. This matter is now in the hands of the Commissioner's Office." MLB said in a statement that "We are always extremely disappointed to learn of potential links between players and the use of performance-enhancing substances. These developments, however, provide evidence of the comprehensive nature of our anti-drug efforts. Through our Department of Investigations, we have been actively involved in the issues in South Florida."

I am starting a PhD, so reading papers and writing notes about them will be my routine for some months. I like to be organized so I try to add the interesting publications to a bib file. However, when writing my master dissertation, I didn't know how to organize my citation keys. I had some keys like
paper:smith03, others like
master:goodwin97a and even
I initially thought that
first lastname:
year was a good start but it then got a little out of control when I added authors that had the same last name or when the same author published many papers in the same year. I then tought about
first lastname:
first couple of words of publication, but it seemed to long, over-explained like the Hungarian notation of a variable (my initial approach was already a bit Hungarian-ish)
My question is: do you have any tips or good citation keys for bibtex entries?

Sharon Sheldon's window not only wowed the judges once, but three times, said Rebecca Turner of NCTC.

Sheldon's will receive a free upgrade to the NCTC membership dues and a holiday coffee event.
Judges also recognized the money tree at H&R Block, the snow at The Keeping Room, the quaint Christmas decorations at Sweet Expressions, the meaningful messages at Esser Flooring, the yummy-themed window at Janie's, and the twinkling lights and girly fun at Tickled Pink.
Store windows that were entered in the competition were judged, although there were other windows decorated.

INDIANAPOLIS - September 28, 2006 - If a picture paints a thousand words, just imagine what two thousand images can say. Eli Lilly and Company is proud to be the recipient of more than 2,000 works of art from 43 countries for the 2006 Lilly Oncology on CanvasSM: Expressions of a Cancer Journey International Art Competition and Exhibition. If the art work were laid end to end in a straight line, it would span the length of 14 football fields.
Presented by Eli Lilly and Company, in partnership with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), Lilly Oncology on Canvas invited people from all over the world to put their feelings about cancer on canvas and in narrative. People diagnosed with any type of cancer, their families and friends, cancer advocates, health care providers, artists and art students were all eligible. This is the second Lilly Oncology on Canvas competition. The competition was launched by Lilly in 2004 to help people affected by cancer deal with the emotional side effects of the disease, an important part of the healing process. The 2004 collection of art has since toured the world.
The 2006 Lilly Oncology on Canvas competition represents nearly a 500 percent increase in entries over the inaugural competition. In 2004, more than 400 entries were received, including 56 entries from the US and Puerto Rico. The 2006 competition yielded more than 2,000 entries, including 491 entries from the US and Puerto Rico.
"We are proud of the substantial increase in entries because it clearly reflects the value of this program," said John Lechleiter, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer of Lilly. "In addition to our relentless efforts to discover innovative cancer treatments, Lilly is dedicated to helping treat the whole patient, and providing inspiration for all affected by this disease."
"A cancer diagnosis often evokes feelings of fear, anger and despair," said Ellen Stovall, NCCS president and CEO, Lilly Oncology on Canvas judge, and a two-time, 34-year cancer survivor. "But at NCCS, we believe that all those diagnosed with cancer are survivors from the moment of diagnosis, and where there is life, there is hope. Lilly Oncology on Canvas embodies this spirit and NCCS is proud to be associated with it.
The competition now moves on to the judging phase. Winners will be selected from six categories (watercolor, oil, pastel, photography, acrylic, other) and will be chosen by an independent panel of judges, comprised of cancer survivors, oncologists, journalists, cancer advocates and artists (see below). Winners will be awarded monetary prizes for the cancer charities of their choice.
The Lilly Oncology on Canvas winners will be announced to the media at two upcoming grand finales in London and New York City, November 3 and December 5, respectively. The London event will be graced with the presence of HRH The Duke of Gloucester (first cousin to HM Queen Elizabeth II). The New York event will include a live musical performance by a special guest.
After the finale events, the exhibitions will be open to the public free of charge as follows:
The 2004 Lilly Oncology on Canvas exhibition will continue to tour the world at hospitals, cancer centers and art galleries. The 2006 entries will tour throughout 2007 and 2008.

Distance Education and Online Learning in Physics Workshop
The American Center for Physics
College Park, Maryland
With the recent explosion of courses offered through online platforms, the pressure has been mounting for many individuals to tap into this paradigm to improve their course offerings.What has been missing from many of these discussions is how to bring the evidence-based reforms of education research to the delivery, pedagogy, and assessment of distance learning environments.
On June 1-2, 2013, the Distance Education and Online Learning in Physics Workshop brought together leaders from the physics education community to discuss how physics education research can impact distance learning courseware and pedagogical delivery. More than 100 participants gathered at APS headquarters in College Park to learn about the opportunities and implications of distance education and online learning for the physics community, and over the course of the workshop, participants explored resources available to instructors of online classes and discussed some of the practical challenges of teaching online.
Workshop Report
This workshop report describes the topics discussed during the workshop, including types of online learning, course components, and emerging challenges. The report concludes with participants' suggestions for open questions that need to be answered and proposed next steps for APS. Appendices provide the list of online resources discussed at the workshop, the workshop program, and the list of participants.
The workshop was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Steering Committee members included:
- Jacob Clark Blickenstaff, American Physical Society
- Noah Finkelstein, University of Colorado-Boulder
- Theodore Hodapp, American Physical Society
- Edward Prather, University of Arizona
- David Pritchard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Carl Wieman, University of British Columbia

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- In an effort to make sure that everyone in the community got to experience the Thanksgiving holiday, Old Chicago in downtown Manhattan partnered with the Flint Hills Breadbasket, a local charity, to host a massive Thanksgiving dinner.
Guests filled the restaurant for a free meal Thursday.
"What a nice setting and a place to make people feel really good- white linen table cloths and decorations. It's just a lovely place to have our community Thanksgiving dinner. There's a lot of people out there who are by themselves on Thanksgiving day so it will be good to see people come out," said Maribeth Kieffer, Executive Director of the Flint Hills Breadbasket.
In previous years, the event had been held at Manhattan High School but the school could not host it this year so Old Chicago stepped in.
Some sixty volunteers were on hand to serve guests, including many Old Chicago employees and their family members.
"We want them to have that sense of a holiday, friendship, for someone to come in and feel like, 'Hey, I can come in and have a great experience with a Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family and just be able to relax and hang out," said Mike Rice, manager of Old Chicago.
For those who attended the community dinner, it was an opportunity to enjoy the holiday with others since they don't have any family members in the area and would have otherwise spent Thanksgiving alone.
"It's been delicious. It's a beautiful place. I've not been to Old Chicago before and I find the food quite delicious. It just makes it all special. It makes you feel really welcomed and I really appreciate that. My family is in Texas and Florida and northern Nebraska so I'm basically stuck here. Both of my parents have died and I've made Manhattan my home," said Brenda Mayberry.
"It was a blessing. I got to see people, smile to me, say hi. People talked to me. It felt good," said Karlee Hronek, who spent most of her life in foster care and does not know her family. She says she hopes that others are thankful for their loved ones this holiday season and don't take what they have for granted.
Behind the scenes, volunteers also prepared and delivered hundreds more meals to those in the area who could not make it out of their homes so that they too could enjoy Thanksgiving.
Old Chicago and the Flint Hills Breadbasket expected to serve around 600 people this year.

Let $C/\mathbb Q$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ or a smooth affine curve of genus $g \geq 1$. The exact sequence
$1 \to \pi_1^{et}(C \otimes_\mathbb Q \bar{\mathbb Q}) \to \pi_1^{et}(C) \to \operatorname{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb Q}|\mathbb Q) \to 1$
gives a homomorphism from $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb Q}|\mathbb Q)$ to the outer automorphism group of $\pi_1^{et}(C \otimes_\mathbb Q \bar{\mathbb Q})$.
Is this homomorphism always injective?
If one instead takes $C$ to be a curve of genus $0$ with $3$ points removed, it is injective, by Belyi's Theorem.

As far as I remember GTAIV was also pretty CPU intensive. Settings wise you could turn down the traffic density and try playing with the shadow settings.

About the shadow settings.....If I put them on low they look like they are from Minecraft..

this is what worked for me
I have been dealing with this as well, here's what worked for me. I have a GTX 680 in my custom watercooled OC i7 2600k rig and a GTX 670m in my Asus G75VW laptop, both on ssd, both with 16gb RAM. When I read about people with better set ups getting worse fps it gives me hope because I know it is just a matter of optimizing my set up manually. You should have hope too, people who know way more than I do are really pissed about this and are working on it as well, we stand on the shoulders of giants. Rockstar made the worst BEST game ever with GTAIV and it takes professional programmer/modders to undue their incompetence.
Without filming in Fraps my fps jumps a lot lately because I have every car in the game modified and a few have caused memory leaks I am tracking down. but that is my problem, let me try to help you with yours. This is a collection of what has worked for me, i get up to 78 FPS and down to 35 depending on draw distance, weather, popcycle density (I use moreliberty 3). I use a good enb for lower end computers to avoid wasting resources, Icenhancer is sweet but kills my rig. I use Vulgadrop's ENB:
First, remember you need to trick GTA4 how to actually use your hardware because it is seriously blind to it, it is frustrating but it is possible.
I use Fraps to check my frame-rate, I use Process Lasso to watch my cpu/mem usage on a separate monitor and I set a GTA4 profile in Process Lasso for gaming, high performance, and to avoid threaded cores.
I Set my windows power profile both computers to performance, I removed all virtual optimization software - its all crap and confuses the game as to which memory and process or to utilize
If you can disable your integrated video card do so, in the bios, if not then NEVER set your computer off performance. Worried about battery life and killing the environment? Wrong game.
Set your virtual memory to the lowest available, 32mb? Windows will enable your virtual memory over your dedicated video memory and GTA4 will not see/use it either unless you force it to.
I removed hibernation and deleted my pagefile from my desktop but left hibernation on my laptop.
In my Nvidia Manage 3D Settings I set it to:
Power management mode - prefer maximum performance
texture filtering - clamp
threaded optimization - on
vertical sync - off (set the Vsync on in the ingame Graphic menu)
The jury is out for me between my PhysX settings, my instinct is with the 680 but Rockstar built this game for the CPU to do the heavy lifting so I opt to set it to CPU
This helped: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-8...ta-iv-too-slow
I unparked all my cores with UnparkCPU:
and this: URL="http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=229080"]http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=229080 [/URL]
Hope it helps. I have great game play when my modded cars aren't glitching out my game...

Doubt it Raymon, but you might be able to have a playable experience if you crank the settings way down

I have a set of points like the ones shown on the right hand side of the image. So for each 'Ships Head' there is a corresponding value for 'Deviation'. In this example we can treat west as negative and east as positive values.
On the left of the image there is a graph made from the points on the right. What I need to do is find a way of using a setup like this to work out the deviation for any given point on the graph. So for example, given the value of 10 degrees, we should be able to calculate the deviation as something around 3.8 degrees.
Obviously its easy to manually draw a graph and then read off values however I need a way of doing this in code. I have never had to solve a problem like this before and I don't know where to start. I was thinking I could make use of trigonometry and maybe some sort of cosine wave but i don't know how to do this.
What is the way of calculating the deviation for a given degree value based on the values on the right hand side of the image?

News Releases
Columbia College honored Debra Shrout, director of the St. Louis campus, with the Frazier Moon Administrator of the Year award. Shrout was presented with the award during the annual employee appreciation luncheon held on April 6 in conjunction with the Adult Higher Education (AHE) director's conference at the main campus in Columbia, Mo.
The award recognizes campus directors who exemplify the virtues of the late Frazier Moon, a former Columbia College dean who played a significant role in the advancement of the extended studies division, now known as the Adult Higher Education division.
"This award is so special because a representative from each major functional area of the college provides input on the selection process," said Dr. Gary Massey, dean for adult higher education. "I'm especially pleased to present Debra with this award because Frazier Moon hired me, and I hired Debra."
Shrout became director of the St. Louis campus in 2006. Before joining Columbia College, she spent 20 years at Kirkwood High School as chair of the school improvement team, English department chair and facilitator of the Magnet Journalism Program. She also worked 11 years at Truman State University as a communications instructor and yearbook advisor.
Shrout holds a bachelor's degree in education, a master's degree in secondary school administration and an education specialist degree in education administration all from Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo.
Shrout's name will be engraved on a plaque held in the AHE office. She also received an engraved Columbia College paperweight and $100.
Columbia College, a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., educates more than 26,000 students each year and has more than 64,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

2-Part Special Issue: "Concussion in Sports" (September, December 2012)Over the past 15 years, the study and management of sports concussion has united many scientists and practitioners and has resulted in the recent Zurich consensus statement, which provides evidence-based guidelines for the management of sports concussion. The two back-to-back special issues of the Journal of Clinical Sport Psychology will focus on recent developments in research and clinical management of sports concussion. The first special issue presents the latest best practice approaches to the management of cerebral concussion in sport. Papers by international experts review topics relevant to practitioners who work with athletes who are vulnerable to, or recovering from, cerebral concussion. The second special issue reviews specific issues related to examining the nature, impact, and clinical management implications of cerebral concussions in the sport milieu. Authors with extensive experience in sports concussion research will contribute to the two issues. Both issues will provide useful and clinically relevant information for those who are involved with clinical management of concussed athletes, and it will serve as a review for those who are well informed on the topic and work within a science-practitioner model.
