Type: A place on the board
Original Discoverer: weebluefish (first person to unlock something in FMH!)
You are offered a place on the board at your club. If accepted then you are immune to sackings, if you decline then the game continues as normal.
As with all unlockables you will find this option now available in preferences so you can turn it on (or off) at the start of a new game.
To unlock this you have to survive managing the same club for at least 10 seasons and also achieve a number of successes proportionate to the clubs starting reputation. For instance taking over a top club you'd be expected to have won at least one cup, european trophy and league for instance ... however taking over a minor club winning one division and say 3 promotions might be enough to impress the board enough.
Type: Sugar Daddy
Original Discoverer: Malcolm Goodwin / Jack Edwards (not sure who found it first)
If enabled at the start of a game then a sugar daddy is brought in as the chairman as your club. This is the equivalent of 'Abramovic' being the chairman of the club you first choose to manage in a game.
When this is triggered you recieve a news item from the board indicating that a russian businessman is considering investing in the club and asking your opinion as to whether the investment should be allowed or not. If you dissuade the board then nothing happens, if you encourage them to accept the investment then you recieve a sugar daddy at your club.
Stay at a club over two seasons and also win a certain amount of cup competitions (the size of which is determined by the reputation of your club at the start of the game).
Type: No transfer windows
Original Discoverer: Morize
Removes transfer windows from the game so you can make transfer bids at any time during a season.
Make a huge profit from transfers during the game (exact amount dependant upon the team you're managing - ie. Chelsea require a larger amount than Brighton for instance).

While this question is similar to this question, I'm certain the answer will be very different, and far more complex....
How was the Old Testament compiled?
While this question is similar to this question, I'm certain the answer will be very different, and far more complex....
How was the Old Testament compiled?
The following is taken from a section of the Introduction in the "Complete Jewish Bible", English Version by David Stern, entitled The Canon
There are several more pages of history regarding the formation of newer versions, New King James, etc. and the attribution of writings (who wrote which book) for the books of the Tanakh (Old Testament) in the Introduction I've sighted above. However, the passage above seems to best answer the question about the actual "compiling" of the Old Testament.
Since there is only one answer at the moment, I will add mine, which is from my comments.
Basically, for Christians the OT canon was still in flux until 1647 when a final decision was made as to which books would be in the Episcopalian Bible, so the OT wasn't compiled until then.
Even the Jews didn't have a unified canon until after the death of Christ.
As long as books are being added/removed/rearranged, it is in the process of being compiled.
For links to explain these dates you can look at When was the Protestant OT canon finalized?.
So, it was compiled by people coming together to determine which books should be where, and in some cases decisions to rename or split a book was made. Each group had their own reasons for their decisions, and these could be debated, but basically, long ago these decisions were argued and made, and then other groups would re-debate and make some modifications, based perhaps on newer information or better understanding.
Authors like Joachim Jeremias and Gerard von Rad had shown that the origins of the OT began circa 1200-900 B.C. in the David King's dynasty, probably with the Wise Solomon. They and others are in agreement that the "David King's dynasty" text in I Kg was the first in the creation of the OT.

(original OS win7) I've installed ubuntu from wubi (so I can easily uninstall it after I try it), I've also installed some apps. I am wondering if I uninstall ubuntu, will all the files I created and apps I installed in ubuntu be removed as well or would I have to manually remove them after?
Yes - everything you did within the ubuntu-wubi installation will be removed and lost when you uninstall.
A little explanation will help.
A wubi install is in layman terms a rather large file(s) reserved within your NTFS windows 7 installation. When you uninstall wubi via the Add/Remove Program feature of Windows, you are effectively just removing this/these file(s).
Nothing in Windows itself will be removed or lost - just the Ubuntu changes.
Best advice is to backup any important files to external media such as CD/DVD or USB. Make sure you use a media format such as NTFS to allow windows to see it.
To illustrate with a diagram(sorry, few freehand circles):
All red will be destroyed. As you can see, the Ubuntu installation is inside Windows in Wubi, but not in a regular installation.

This is my first post to this forum - I use the GIS/Programing ones extensively.
For a cover letter what are ways that you can avoid repeating "I have done ....", "I have experience with ...", "I am experienced in..." etc
There are actually quite a few options, many of which come naturally when you're not forced to consciously write formally.
You can change the verb into an –ing:
or in some cases turn the verb into the subject or your sentence.
This gives it an assertive feel, as does any other form of eliminating personal pronouns. Though one should include some personal pronouns for fear one begins to sound impersonal. :)
You can also add introductory phrases or prepositional phrases to the beginnings of your sentences:
If you're currently writing the cover letter, it might be best to get all your thoughts and strengths down first before editing for repetition and word choice.
Instead of saying, "I have experience with X," consider describing what you did with X. "I created a global meteor defense system using Java and Arduino."

Winter Season Casting
Posted 06 January 2011 - 04:49 AM
Anyone else have any insights to share on winter season casting?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 05:38 AM
I understand that on January 10 NYCB will begin posting the casting for the winter season. I do know that Joaquin de Luz will dance in the principal role of The Prodigal Son for the January 22 evening performance as part of Mr. B's birthday celebration.

Anyone else have any insights to share on winter season casting?
Maybe a little OT, but while we're waiting for the official casting list, is there any casting you're expecting -- or even better, hoping -- to see?
I was poring over the schedule plotting a ticket exchange, noticed Mozartiana, and thought "Hmmm ... Has Sara Mearns done that yet?" It's something I'd love to see, even if it didn't really work.

Kosher sources are the official casting, any printed source from official media, and the official pages of a company or a dancer (i.e., if Diana Vishneva announces on her website she's doing a gala, it's official.)
Word of mouth, even excellent word-of-mouth is not kosher.

There are lots of debuts aside from the premiere of the new Stroman ballet. I also noticed that the Friday, Jan. 28 performance of Polyphonia seems to have many of the dancers debuting who were officially named to be partaking in NYCB Moves.
Posted 16 January 2011 - 05:34 AM
I'm just hoping that when casting comes out we see some of the injured dancers return to action. Specifically, I'll be hoping to see Kaitlyn Gilliland and Kathryn Morgan. Fingers crossed!
Just noticed that Rachel Rutherford is listed for N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz. I hope that means she's back.

Thanks so much for posting this info. I'm surprised Mearns/Angle are doing SL on Friday and Sunday. I thought they would rotate the cast because of the demanding nature of the lead roles. Sara better eat her Wheaties during that time period. I wish I could attend the Suozzi/Mearns Prodigal, but I will be in DC at the Kirov Giselle. Reports, please, from anyone who goes.
This email just came through a moment ago from NYCB. Hope I post it properly. Some casting changes and surprises!

Is there any evidence, stated by Blizzard or others, that the cooldown of Spirit Vessel is reduced whenever Grave Injustice is triggered?
No, Spirit Vessel is not affected by the cooldown reduction of Grave Injustice.
Which is a little counter intuitive, as the text on Grave Injustice would indicate that all abilities have their cooldowns reduced:
Fundamentally though, the cheat-death effect of Spirit Vessel is more of a proc than a cooldown. This is backed up in the many build discussions around the use of these abilities together, including this quote:
While Grave Injustice does not reduce the cooldown for the cheat-death proc, it will stack with the cooldown reduction for abilities such as Spirit Walk.
No, Spirit Vessel can not activate more than stated by the tooltip, this is because the ability itself never goes on cooldown, but rather, the witchdoctor gets a debuff that cancels a second activation of Spirit Vessel.

Fall Is Here, and So Is BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red Ale

Anchor Brewing Company
BigLeaf Maple Autum Red
Don't let the label throw you. BigLeaf Maple Autumn Red is no sappy, syrupy brew. Not from the likes of Anchor Brewing Company, the California brewer that plays fast and loose with all manner of hops.
BigLeaf is an American amber ale with a soft, citrus bite and just a trace of maple flavor. The light, caramel malt plays second fiddle to notes of white pepper and pine.
Dry-hopping gives additional depth of flavor, mostly in the citrus category, with traces of bitter orange and lemon. The beer finishes light and slightly dry, with a floral aroma. It's 6 percent alcohol by volume.

For a lot of us, Makhachkala, Dagestan would have been a pretty safe answer to the question "Where in the world will you not find Alex Ovechkin this summer?" Apparently, a lot of us would have been wrong, as Alex the Great made a surprise appearance during halftime of a soccer match between the Russian Premier League club Anzhi and the defending Russian champions Zenit Saint Petersburg. The local team, Anzhi, honored their guest by presenting him with a traditional Dagestani burka (cape) and papakha (wool hat), as well as the Anzhi supporters scarf. All of these items fit extremely well with one ever-present feature of Alex summer wardrobe — his flip-flops, as reported live by the official Zenit Twitter. Ovi was received with a deafening roar from the stands, with the soccer-themed chants temporarily replaced by the famous Russian hockey call of "Shaibu-Shaibu!"

I need to find the domain of the Gamma function, that is to say all $z \in \mathbb{C}$, for which the integral:
$$\Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1} e^{-t} \mathrm dt$$
converges. I started by splitting up the integral into an integral running from $0$ to $1$ and another one from $1$ to $\infty$. I first tried to figure out for what $z \in \mathbb{C}$ the integral from $0$ to $1$ converges and I came to the conclusion, that $\Re(z) > 0$ is the condition.
The other integral, I believe, converges for every $z$, as the exponential function dominates the monomial eventually. So I concluded:
$$\exists \Gamma(z) \iff \Re(z) > 0$$
However, I just learned that this is wrong. I found out that the integral only diverges for non-positive integers. What did I do wrong or what is a better way to find the domain of the Gamma function?

|My first climb of Twin Peaks was made by Stairs Gulch. I enjoyed the rock scrambling and snow hiking very much. The rock in Stairs Gulch was very loose and it was impossible trying not to hit anyone below you. The climb up both Twin Peaks along the ridge was great. It ended up being a long day. We got hit by a snow storm while descending down Broads Fork but the fun glissading made up for this.

|Route Climbed: Robinson Variation Date Climbed: Sept 16, 2001
|I did this peak with a friend of mine who got me into rock and ice climbing. We started at the Broads Fork trailhead and hiked to the meadow. From here we took a faint trail to the West that lead to the ridge some 2000' vertical above. This was a difficult assent due to the steepness thru a long bolder field and up thru dirt and loose rock. Once we attained the ridge the traveling became more interesting and pleasent. We traversed on a ridge heading South with outstanding views in every direction. This ridge was mainly slabby boulders with great exposure on either side and required some route finding skills to find the safest and easiest way to the base of the peak. Once at the base we started climbing up thru more bolders all the way to the summit of the East Twin. Upon reaching the summit we noticed thunder clouds overhead and didn't stay long. We descended the traditional route. A great hike with awsome views.

|While a student at the University of Utah, I climbed to the double summit of Twin Peaks over fifty two years ago. Climbing with a classmate, one Jerry DeGettis, It took me almost twelve hours up and down and I remember stumbling along the trail back to my car well after dark. We lunched on the west summit next to the mail box and admired the view that took in the entire Wasatch Range from Mount Ogden to Timpanogos.
I was delighted to see Twin Peaks on the cover of Time Magazine just before the 2002 Winter Olympics. The subsequent gold medal winner in figure skating (Hughes) was depicted doing a triple axel in the sky above Twin Peaks' fishtail crown. Since childhood I have considered Twin Peaks which looms above and behind Mount Olympus the most majestic peak in the Wasatch as it is viewed from downtown Salt Lake City.

The route I did was great! I have no idea if it is covered in any guidebooks but it is certainly is worthy of such coverage - nice variety in views, climbing terrain/rock, class 4 scrambling, etc. I'll definitely put the route up on this page soon :)

|Route Climbed: Broads Fork, Tanners Gulch, Hounds Tooth to West Summit. Date Climbed: July 1993, March 1998-HTR
|Lots of snow both times to East Summit. Hounds Tooth Ridge is the toughest winter climb I have ever done that ended in success.

|Had a great trip, did this during the week and didn't run into anyone until half way back down. Also went up into the basin on snow shoes over the winter.

Unanswered: Scroll bar positioning in GridPanel
I have used your the Ext.ux.TouchGridPanel in my project. I have a problem here. On a particular condition search, there are 100 records displayed in the grid.As i scroll down the grid the scroll bar position stays at that position itself. When I search for a result that has just 1 item, the screen looks like the grid is empty as the scrollbar position was left in the middle during the previous search.
I came across this code in EXT JS 4.0..Code:
I don't want to auto select the first item but is it possible to set the scroll bar of the grid to the top.i..e. showing the grid from the first item.??
27 Nov 2012 7:19 AM #2
Hi you have to reset the scrollbar position
yourGrid.scroller.scrollTo({y: 0});

There is a new Zelda game out for the Wii, a massive adventure for Link that begins in a village suspended in the clouds. The Wii is getting old and the Zelda series is even older. But, perhaps, saving Zelda would again be worth your time and rupees?
Stephen Totilo, who is 34 hours and 59 minutes into this thing: I'm trying to keep this game from ending. That enough to convince you?
Just about five years ago to this day, I was wishing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess would just end already. It went stale quickly. After that first Wii Zelda, I thought the whole series, now a quarter of a century old, needed of a break. And despite my love for the oddball DS Zelda game Spirit Tracks two Decembers ago, had I known that this new Wii one, Skyward Sword, was as formulaic as it is, I would have been advocating for that break in the lead up to today.
But as traditional as this Zelda game is—we have, yet again, the adventure of a young man who gains the tools, reflexes and puzzle-solving intelligence to traverse an exotic land, solving the traps of one monster-filled dungeon at a time—this game presents the Zelda formula at its sparkling best. The cleverness and novelty of its puzzle-filled environment, the beautiful moods of its soundtrack and its masterful art direction collectively shame contemporary competition. This is a top-tier adventure, one that requires a shade more manual dexterity than the average Zelda thanks to restrained yet interesting motion controls. I don't like this game's main mode of travel and it has my least favorite musical instrument of the series, but you just have to experience its impeccable, surprising level design. I want you to play this game to see how incredible every sequence of a video game can be, with nary any dull patches (other than the flying and a distressfully slow start) to interfere. As a bonus, it wil repeatedly make you feel clever. Should you buy it? Yes.
There's also just something about the game. It's never flipped the switch to get me truly excited in it. Twilight Princess burned me out a little on the Zelda formula, maybe. I'm not 100% sure that's it, but I also look at trailers and gameplay and just..shrug. I'm sorry, Nintendo, and I'm sorry, Link, but I'm just not feeling the magic this time around. Making this, as weird as this feels to type it, a No.
Though the technical side of the graphics is not terrific (jagged edges on character models are distracting), it is made up for with the wonderful art style. Colors and textures suck you in to a vibrant, friendly world and make Skyloft feel a little bit more like home. During my relatively brief time with the game, I was anxiously awaiting setting off on my real adventure, wondering what evil would befall these lively characters. Though my jaunt through the vast world below came to a close just as it was really beginning, I genuinely couldn't wait to see what exciting environments Link would be forced to brave to rescue his lifelong friend. Yes.

Tom Tullgren Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatments Survivor
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Copyright © 1998, Tom Tullgren
I am a survivor of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I was treated in 1971 at the age of three. I don't remember quite everything, but I will do my best. The doctors at the time decided to treat me with radiation to the head and spine as a preventative measure and top it off with chemotherapy. You know the usual, Methotrexate, Cytoxin, 6mp, Prednisone, and Vincristine. Quite a bit for a little guy to handle. But, I was a real trooper. Cute too!
Shortly afterward thanks to the doctors aggressive and successful treatments, I was cured. No more cancer! Yahoo! I went on to lead a normal life. Well I thought it was going to be normal. The cancer stayed away, but I began to notice some changes in my life. Well, I really didn't notice at the time. A little hindsight helped a lot.
I am thirty now, and have been researching the long-term side-effects of cancer therapy, particularly therapy on those around the age of three when they received therapy. Now that I have had time to review the last 30 years of my life, I have noticed some differences between my peers and myself. I have some memory/learning problems, my thyroid is out of balance, testosterone levels are low, I have arthritis, and I am a little short. But I make up for that in personality! I am currently being followed by my doctors for these side effects of my cancer therapy. I am doing quite well.
I graduated from high school with my class. I acquired the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. I was in the Air Force for a short time. Also I, have started my own business. I would not change a thing, and I thank God and my doctors and the treatments they gave me. The only thing I would add, is that I wish I knew that while I was growing up that I had a disability. I could have gotten some tutoring or some understanding that "Hey, I am a survivor of cancer, and I am doing my best."
You see, I did not realize that I was a special kid, just like all kids treated for cancer. We all react differently to treatments. Some of us need extra help in certain subjects in school and in the social aspects of life. Life's tough after cancer and it is sometimes tough for us little ones to get back into the flow of things. We do not always know how to express ourselves in a way that adults can understand. It took me almost 27 years before I was able to understand what was happening to me or before I had the capability of expressing it in words that everyone could understand. Then I had to find someone to listen.
We have to make compromises when it comes time to be treated for cancer. With out them none of us would become strong survivors, setting the example for other upcoming cancer survivors. We are a team and we must stick together for support. It's our duty, young or old. Even though I suffered side-effects and my therapy was experimental, I know that because of my sacrifice I am able to help someone else live a longer and a more successful life. Someone had to do it for me and now maybe it is your turn.
If you need someone to listen to you about your side effects of cancer and you have similar side-effects as mine, I would be glad to share on how I deal with it on a day to day basis. You can reach me by email at the address above.
Keep up the good work!

I love my 3DS. I prefer the regular one over the 3DS XL too. The XL is heavy for a hand held system if you ask me.
I was able to purchase online and have it shipped to me. Arrived today.
Well, it doesn't allow you to add to your cart as of today.
The closest Targets are out of stock of them... going like hotcakes.
However, Wal-Mart is flush with them... and they price match. You don't even need to bring the ad in with you.
You can also get a $10 gift card for spending over $50 - http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/f63b418f-7354-40b8-88f6-dc17416bac0d/10-target-gift-card-with-50-purchase#26
Best Buy also price matches. I didn't have an ad so I just printed out the web page for it, and they honored it no problem. Yay!!!

Somerset assessors, take note: Somerset organizations, businesses and citizens have stepped up to volunteer to clean up areas and to serve on various commissions, committees and boards.
The police, firefighters, highway departments, etc. have taken severe cuts.
Selectmen have lowered business owners' taxes and increased homeowners' taxes to possibly bring more business into town. Our magnificent new high school will bring people into town.
Towns and cities around us are getting thousands of dollars in Community Preservation Act money to make improvements and buy up land.
The Massachusetts House thinks the CPA program is so important that they have proposed to include another $25 million in its budget for towns and cities to share.
Our real estate taxes are going up considerably higher for a couple of reasons that can't be helped. I don't think our homeowners would mind pitching in another only $5 or $6 a quarter so we could get about $200,000 to $300,000 a year to do things in town that we can't afford during the present time. We did vote for CPA!
Somerset assessors, make it happen. Let Somerset get its share of this money.

When we consider the wonders and accomplishments of the SPINNING program, we are often amazed at the benefits to both mind and body that are possible; however, no fitness program is entirely self-sufficient, and we need to consider the things that SPINNING classes cannot forge within us as we look to cross-training modalities. These will both inform and be informed by our riding efforts, but for the time being let us focus on the advantages of resistance based cross-training.
As we ride, we travel (even on stationary bikes) along the sagittal plane (i.e., forward and aft). (We do in fact shift our weight while in standing movements, and our upper bodies may laterally shift in response to pedaling while in the Seated Flat; this minimally addresses the frontal plane, but probably not suffciently so, and while not accounting for the transverse plane.)
Given the planar defaults of the SPINNING program, then, our concerns are these:
1.) At the very least, we customarily involve all three planes of motion in everyday existence. Our fitness programs really do need to account for this. Otherwise, there may be a risk of injury.
2.) Without using all three motions in the context of exercise, certain muscle groups become neglected, which results in overactivity on the part of major prime movers (e.g., hamstrings). We then reap things like reciprocal inhibition, which means that the overactive group produces length-tension changes in the opposing muscle group (i.e., antagonist). In other words, tight hamstrings prevent the quadriceps from attaining a full contraction.
3.) Length-tension changes in muscle then alter tendon and joint movement which is what leads to injury.
What are some of the more neglected muscle groups, then? I would list, at a minimum, the transverse abdominals, gluteus minimus and medius, and possibly the vastus lateralis (outermost/lateral quadriceps sub-grouping). For the vastus lateralis, certain fibers are more likely to be recruited during lateral motion in the frontal plane: for example, during a side lunge or step up, the lateralis fibers are more thoroughly recruited than during a simple knee extension.
Now that we have reviewed the need for and some parameters of resistance based cross-training for us in the SPINNING program, it would behoove us to discuss some viable options, even though there are so overwhelmingly many out there. We shall strive here to generate as much general and functional cross-fitness as possible, without surrendering the specificity of training that we need. Part two of this blog will explore this in greater detail, but please allow me to leave you with this: the great Mark Allen, six-time Ironman Kona world champion, suggested on at least one occasion (in an article for active.com) that endurance athletes ought to weigh the benefit of cutting up to 25% of their endurance training time in favor of a well executed resistance component to their training. He assured his readers that performance benefits would be soon to follow. Are we agreed that he knows a little something about those?

The Architecture of Leadership is a simple but effective toolkit for leaders, whose main theme is "preparation = performance." Using the elements of architecture, they begin with a foundation of character and values, move to a floor representing a drive to achieve combined with the capacity to care, and continue with the framework of innate traits and acquired skills to the ceiling and roof of opportunity and performance, respectively. Supporting it all are the pillars of honesty, integrity, courage, respect, commitment, trust, ethics, and hard work.

I can't figure out why LaTeX went into private beta an hour ago, when the Ubuntu proposal had far more commitments and referrals.
Any reason for this?
Beta sites wont always be launched in the order they reach 100% progress. Sometimes there will be technical, social, or resource issues that need to be worked out. The site gets launched as soon as it's ready.
The LaTeX proposal was pretty cut and dried; ready to launch. So we launched it. There has been a bit of discussion around the Ubuntu proposal of whether it should be merged with the more general Linux/Unix site. We're looking at whether more needs to be done to make sure the community is getting what they want or is it really ready to go.
Jeff said there are more factors than "progress", for example, percentage of overlap of committers to other proposals, which would make it difficult for them to actively participate.

TORONTO - Members of the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School on Tuesday learned enrollment will increase next year.
There will be more students attending JVS next school year than this year, according to Dale Edwards, superintendent.
"I shared with the board we're expecting an increase in enrollment for next school year," he said. "We do have a few programs where we're accepting students, but most programs have seen a healthy signup."
Edwards said the school sent out 210 letters of acceptance to students for next year's enrollment along with an additional 170 students who will be returning.
"That will be close to 400 students, and that's always our goal," he said. "Enrollment was down the previous year, and we were a little disappointed. But we were able to come back for next year, and that is a positive development."
In other business, the board:
Accepted a contract with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department for a resource officer for the next school year. The officer would be stationed on campus, according to Edwards.
Approved a one-year contract for NaviGate, a web-based program that allows the school to stay in contact with Jefferson County 911 during an emergency.
"It will enable us to have direct contact with 911," Edwards said, adding any first responders to the school building would have online access to the school's infrastructure through building blueprints and surveillance cameras.
"During a safety issue, (first responders) would have access to our building's blueprints and (internal security) cameras, as long as they had a computer (in a vehicle)," said Edwards.
The cost of the one-year lease is $3,000.
Students will have two attend school two extra days due to snow days, Edwards said. Students will attend May 24 and 28, while teachers will have a work day on May 29.

I bought one of these the last time they ran this deal and love it. Speakers are a little weak, but you can't beat the price.
@arenee90: I cannot agree more regarding the speakers. In fact, I think you're understating it. If you're going to hook this up to a receiver, it should be fine. I purchased this for a bedroom and hooked up external speakers to the audio out (no receiver) and it's pretty awful.

Is there an expected stable release date of Ubuntu Phone and Ubuntu Tablet?

Is there an expected stable release date of Ubuntu Phone and Ubuntu Tablet?
If so, what are their dates?
More robust versions of Ubuntu for Tablets will likely be available for the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets by the end of the year. However, Ubuntu tablets won't ship until the UI layer is folded into the fully unified Ubuntu 14.04 in the spring of 2014. Canonical expects to integrate a stable Ubuntu Phone with Ubuntu 13.10 ("Saucy Salamander") this October, making it available for Nexus 4 and Nexus Phone users, prior to a native Ubuntu-based phone launch in 1Q 2014.

News article on the subject: http://www.paritynews.com/2013/09/19/2851/developer-confirms-canonical-ubuntu-touch-launch-date/
From ubuntu.com
last checked mid-February 2014
Apparently it is out there for sale (in Europe) already, released a few hours slash days ago:
Ubuntu tablets and phones most likely wont be shipping until early 2014 when ubuntu v14.04 is released. There should be a stable version by october if you are an advanced user of a nexus 10 and know how to unlock it so that you can follow the directions to flash it to your tablet. I hope this helps. This information was all from Ubuntu's site about their plans.
Shuttleworth said earlier in February that devices running Ubuntu Touch will actually ship in October, but that seems unlikely now given that we have had no announcements of that sort to date... unless he has a surprise in store for us!
More realistically, a first-time consumer-ready version (lets say Ubuntu Touch v1.0) should be ready in October 2013 (and released along with Ubuntu 13.10 desktop version). The version for tablets and the overall phone-tablet-PC convergence features are not expected to arrive until April 2014 (when Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for desktops is released). All of the above is my conclusion based on currently available information as of early August 2013. :)

Marrying the Man and Taking His Name (Or Not)
Maybe he dropped to a knee or maybe he stood. Maybe he brandished a ring or maybe he offered up a really sincere promise to come up with one. Maybe he didn't do anything at all; maybe she was the one who popped the question.
Every couple's matrimonial walk is different, and even as they glow with the euphoria of their own personal happily ever after, the decisions they make will carve out the course of their lifetime together.
Love can do a lot of things, but it doesn't have the power to cancel out the patriarchy that is the lifeblood of good ol' American social convention. The traditional expectation is that when a woman gets married, she takes her husband's name—no questions, no conversation, no-brainer. And as the age of the average Black bride creeps past 30 and she heads to the altar already established in her career and personhood, another question is popping up for women who balk at the belief that her surname is somehow indicative of her allegiance to her marriage: do you take this man and his last name?
Ultimately, it's not about who's right, wrong, or more down for her boo because she did or didn't take his name. It's about women having the option to choose which naming convention works best for them. In their own words, three ladies—all of them wives, mothers and professional go-getters—share why they chose to keep, change or hyphenate their last names after declaring "I do."
Christine Pembleton, Owner, Ready to Be a Wife
Married six years
"It was just a given that I would change my name. We actually did not discuss it. I think it just communicated a unity in our home, that it was the Pembleton home, and that all the children would have the same last name, which was his last name, obviously. So to me it was never an issue because I wanted to be a part of him and wanted to represent him. I'm definitely old school. I wanted to make him proud. I love the name Pembleton. Nobody has that name. It makes me feel very royal.
"We have three daughters. They're 5, 3 and 2. So it's the Pembleton family. Because of the way I feel about him—I look up to him—it never occurred to me that I would be losing something if I took his name. It was always something I was gaining by doing that. I will raise my daughters to do whatever they feel is best, however. Whatever they decide is up to them. It doesn't really matter to me. Obviously, I want to teach them to look for a man that they trust enough to take on his name and be a part of his life, because being ready to be a wife is all about the mindset, picking the right person for you. If you don't feel that you can trust him with yourself, then why marry him? Marriage is way too risky of an agreement to be with someone you would not trust with your life. So that to me is more important than a name. I was looking for someone I could trust that much. It's a mindset that I used to make my decision."
For me, names have meaning. They carry energy.

Ericka Plater-Turner, MBA Professional
Married nine years
"After my husband proposed to me and we knew it was real, that we were going to get married, that's when I really started thinking about my name: what it was going to look like, what I would do, what I wouldn't do. We talked about it because there are all kinds of ways that people do it, even when you swap names. He takes yours, you take his. I thought that was cool. He was like, 'Hell no.' [Laughs] It's a man thing. He was really adamant about me taking his name, and I actually thought about it for a while. I would write my name out. And because for 30-odd years I'd been Ericka Plater, it just didn't feel right. It didn't sound right. It didn't look right.
"For me, names have meaning. They carry energy. And when I looked at my father's side of the family, where I got my maiden name, there's a rich history there. There's a collection of Platers in Southern Maryland. There's a street named after my family down there. That's who I am. And getting married, I felt I was losing part of who I was by dropping my name. So part of it was, Why would I do that? That's who I've been. I'm adding on to who I am by entering into this marriage with this man, so adding on his name started to feel more like the right thing for me because I wanted to honor my ancestors and family.

Let's say I have the following text (a part of a paragraph):
hello world
I want to be able to typeset a small star/smiley/whatever graphic in between these two words. This graphic should of course be treated like a regular word, in the sense that we get proper spacing around it, just like for regular words.
The graphic should preferably be written right there in some MetaPost/PSTricks-like code, but I can also accept that I have to include it through an external PDF file.
How can I do this?
Edit: Come to think about it, I guess what I may be asking for is a way to create a new character, without actually having to mess with font-related stuff.

Some people say that watching TV series can be very helpful in learning foreign languages. However, I am skeptical about it as I think that this kind of activity is just too passive.
My biggest concern is that you are probably too much focused on TV series itself rather than improving your language skills. Certainly, you can exercise your listening skills by that and maybe you can even pick up some words and phrases if they are being repeated frequently enough but still I wouldn't call it an effective way of learning foreign language.
What is your opinion about it? Maybe you could recommend some techniques that could improve that process and make it more effective?

New Spate of Acrimony in Congress as Cuts Loom
With deep federal spending cuts poised to begin Friday, Congress engaged in a new round of finger-pointing, intraparty bickering and frustration on Tuesday, at one point prompting top party leaders to hurl vulgarities at each other.
Senate Republicans, who usually find it easy to unite against President Barack Obama, found themselves unable to forge a united front over how to deal with the impeding budget cuts, with some proposing to give more budget power to a White House that most Republicans say they mistrust.
Amid the turmoil, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) suggested members of the Senate should "get off their a—" to address the so-called sequester. That prompted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.)—who says he is used to salty language because his hometown of Searchlight, Nev., had 13 brothels—to return the insult.
In more sober terms, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered a warning about the consequences of congressional paralysis for fiscal issues. Mr. Bernanke, in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, called on Congress to avert looming across-the-board spending cuts that he said would damage a still-weak economy.
If Congress doesn't act, the government will have to make $85 billion in across-the board defense and domestic cuts by Sept. 30.
Mr. Bernanke said Congress should replace the cuts with more gradual, long-term deficit-reduction measures. Not only would the cuts hurt hiring and incomes, they would slow the recovery, keeping deficits larger than otherwise, he said.
Mr. Bernanke cited Congressional Budget Office estimates that the cuts would reduce economic growth by 0.6 percentage point this year, which would cost the economy 750,000 jobs this year. The economy is only growing at a moderate pace, so that additional drag would be "significant," he said.
Mr. Bernanke took his slap at the policies being pursued by Congress and Mr. Obama on a day when both sides were digging in deeper than ever.
Mr. Boehner again reminded reporters that the House last year twice passed legislation to replace the cuts and called for the Senate to act on its own bill.
"We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate…begins to do something," Mr. Boehner said. Mr. Reid, noting that the House hadn't passed any bill during the current Congress, said House members were the ones with their behinds on the sidelines.
Mr. Obama, meanwhile, traveled to Newport News, Va., for a rally at a shipbuilding firm to spotlight the impact of the sequester on military operations and communities around them.
Republican leaders fumed. "Does he want to be president of a political party or does he want to be president of the United States?" said House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.).
But at the Virginia rally, Mr. Obama was joined by a local Republican representative, Scott Rigell, whose district would be hard-hit by defense cuts and who has shown some willingness to consider a tax-increase compromise.
Back in Washington, Senate Republicans were preparing a proposal to give the Obama administration more flexibility to administer the cuts to blunt their impact. But they struggled to reach consensus because some didn't want to give more power to the administration. And as it turned out, Mr. Obama said at the Virginia rally he didn't want that power because "flexibility" couldn't mitigate the harm of cutting $85 billion in a mere seven months. "There's no smart way to do that," he said.
Meantime, immigration officials said Tuesday they had released hundreds of immigrants who had been detained and were awaiting deportation proceedings to cut costs in advance of the sequester.
Gillian Christensen, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said officials reviewed cases and released hundreds of people "on methods of supervision less costly than detention" as the agency continues to seek their removal from the U.S.
The decision was sharply criticized by House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, who said the Obama administration is using sequestration as an excuse to carry out a "de facto catch-and-release policy" it had already planned to implement.

I've read that in double object constructions like the following, the indirect object pronoun gets included when there is an indirect object noun.
Juan le dio un regalo a Martin.
John gave Martin a gift.
And I've seen the following double object construction where there are no noun objects.
Juan se lo dio.
Juan gave it to him.
Juan se lo dio a él.
Juan gave it to him.
So is this how you say Juan gave it to Martin?
Juan se lo dio a Martin.

I'm trying to prove the convergence of $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^\alpha}$$ with $\alpha > 1$.
For $\alpha \geq 2$ I can use the comparison test ($\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2}$ converges) so I'm missing $2>\alpha>1$ and I'm pretty much out of ideas.
If you could offer some advice I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

A Trip to the Nail Factory
David Frane
Most nails and staples are made from steel wire. This galvanized wire will be made into nails.
The wire shown here will be made into bright (non-galvanized) nails and staples. Each coil weighs approximately 3,000 pounds. Senco goes through more than 2,000 tons of wire per month; what you see here is less than one day's supply for the factory.
These coils of wire have been dropped onto spindles in preparation for drawing—the process of pulling wire through multiple dies to bring it to the correct diameter. Drawing stretches the wire to many times its original length.
Before wire is drawn it is run through one or more descalers, which use a series spinning wire brushes to remove slag, rust, and other debris. Click here for video.
After exiting the descaler wire passes through a box where loose particles are blown off with compressed air and captured by a dust collection system.
The now clean wire is pulled into a wire drawing machine. You're looking at the back half of one of many such machines in the factory. The hinged yellow cover can be lifted out of the way to access the drums and dies that are used to bring the wire to the correct diameter for the fasteners being made.
This is the first of many dies and drums inside of the wire drawing machine in the previous photo. The wire enters from the left and passes through an open box containing chips of a soap-like substance that lubricates the surface before it enters the die. The die is inside the green box. After exiting the die the wire is coiled on a drum and then sent through a series of smaller and smaller dies—each with its own drum and box of lubricant.
After the wire is drawn it enters a machine (the one with steam coming out the top) where it is cleaned in an acid bath and then rapidly dried.
These wire winding machines recoil the wire after it has been drawn and cleaned. The coils that come off of these machines are ready to be made into fasteners. Click here for video.
Wire drawing is a continuous process. To avoid having to thread the end of each new coil of wire through all of the machinery you just saw, the beginning of the new coil is welded onto the end of the one before it using one of these electric welding machines.
This wire has been drawn and is ready to be made into fasteners. It is not galvanized and to prevent rusting it must be processed within a matter of days.
A coil of drawn wire has been placed on a spool at the infeed side of a series of machines that are set up to make coil pallet nails.
This is one of many nail making machines in the plant. Wire enters from the right and exits to the left as partially finished nails—cut to length, pointed, and headed. Click here for video.
Nails fall onto a conveyor at the outfeed side of the nail making machine and are conveyed to the hopper of a rotary orienting feeder, a device that positions them for processing by the next machine. Click here for video.
The nails come out of the rotary orienting feeder edge-to-edge—as they would be when collated—and are fed into device that forms rings on the shaft. Click here for video. The rings are made by the spinning gizmo at the end of the clip.
The now finished ring nails are conveyed to a second rotary feeder that positions them edge-to-edge prior to being wire-collated.
This automated gizmo welds the finished nails to the collating wire. Nails enter from the right, are welded to the wire (look closely and you'll see the sparks), and then spun into coils (left side of photo). Click here for video.
These spools of wire feed to the automated gizmo that welds them to the incoming nails.
Here's a closer look at nails being spun into a coil. When the coil is complete the machine lifts it off the spindle and ties it with string prior to boxing. Click here for video.
This man is hand-boxing coils of pallet nails as they come out of the machine. He runs a production cell that contains multiple nail making machines. In the old days wire would have been cut, pointed, headed, ringed, and collated by multiple people in multiple locations inside the plant. Now, a single person can turn wire into a finished product that is boxed and ready to ship.
A variety of paper-collated stick nails are being made in this part of the plant. The boxes you see are empty and waiting to be filled. Unlike coil nails, which are delicate and need to be boxed by hand, stick nails can be boxed by machine—but the box is closed by hand so a person can inspect the fasteners before they go out.
All of this wire (click here for video) is being fed into a machine that glues them edge-to-edge (gangs them together) into a continuous strip. This "pre-collated" material is later fed into punch presses that stamp it into strips of staples or finish nails.
Here you can see multiple strands of wire being fed into the machine that glues them together and then rolls them into a coil. Click here for video.
Two strips containing multiple strands of wire are sitting in the machine that glued them together. The machine isn't running and that blob of glue you see oozed out and cured after the machine was shut down.
This glued material will be punched into staples or finish nails within a matter of days. If it sits around too long the glue will over-cure and the strands of wire will separate in the machine.
These strips of staples were punched from the edge-glued wire you saw in the previous two slides. Click here for a video that shows them coming out of the punch press and being stacked and boxed by a machine.
This is something you see in every factory, spare parts and motors to repair the machines. In addition to a maintenance department, most factories have machine shops with full-time machinists to make parts that are needed quickly or cannot be bought ready-made.
This wire is about to enter the machine that makes clipped-head framing nails. The machines for full round-head nails are in a different part of the plant. Click here for video.
After the framing nails are made they are fed into a rotary orienting feeder (ROF) that places them side-by-side for collating. ROFs are extremely common; you'll see them in any plant where individual pieces (of metal, plastic, food—you name it) must be placed in a particular position for processing. Click here for video.
The paper tape on these rolls will be glued to the sides of the clipped-head nails in the machine, turning them into strips that will fit 34-degree framing guns. Click here for video.
The finished strips of framing nails are boxed by machine. The person who closes the box stamps it with numbers indicating the date when the nails were made, the machine that made them, the person who operated the machine, and the coil of steel they came from. If a customer has problems with a box of fasteners Senco can trace them all the way back to the vendor that sold them the wire.
These galvanized finish nails are about to be collated.
Finish carpenters will recognize the rolls of material being used to collate the finish nails shown in the previous photo.
All those nails (and tools—brought in from the company's plant in China) have to go somewhere. This is just one aisle of many in the warehouse section of the plant.
Remember the long aisle in the previous photo? You're now looking across it and 12 more just like it. That's a whole lot of staples, nails, and tools.
The factory is located on the Eastern edge of Cincinnati, Ohio. Click here for a satellite view of the plant and here for a view from the ground. If it looks big it's because it is big—approximately 500,000 square feet under roof.
Like most folks who build, I am interested in how tools and materials are made, so before my last trip to the Midwest I arranged to visit the factory in Cincinnati where Senco makes nails. When I arrived at the plant I was surprised by how big it was compared to some others I have been to. It covers a huge area of ground, 500,000 square feet, with offices, a design center, and test lab in front and a giant production area and warehouse in back.
Tools and fasteners are designed and tested at the plant but only fasteners are made there. The only Senco fasteners I know of that do not come out of the Cincinnati plant are DuraSpin screws (Taiwan) and some of the company's micro pins (Europe). Tools are made at a company-owned factory in China and shipped to Cincinnati for warehousing and U.S. distribution. Tools and fasteners are sent to satellite facilities in other countries for distribution there.
My tour might not have happened a few years back. The company went bankrupt in 2009 and could have disappeared. But it was purchased by a private equity group that recapitalized the business and changed the name of the company to Senco Brands. Senco Brands is privately held so there is no way to know if it's making money, but the fact that it has been introducing new tools and running three shifts in the nail factory suggests it's doing better than before.
I enjoyed touring the plant because I always wondered how collated fasteners were made. It turned out to be a fascinating process. Check out the slideshow to the left and you'll see what I mean. And be sure to look for the video links in the captions. I did my best to describe what's going on in the photos but nothing beats video for showing how a machine or process actually works.

There are bow ties, ditalini, cavatelli, vermicelli, rigatoni, gemelli, acini di pepe, ziti, wagon wheel, angel hair, rotini, manicotti, fusilli, and capellini types of pasta.
Article Photos
There are many types of pasta, but the most familiar to most cooks and the children who like to slurp it is spaghetti. This dish was made with a tomato, sausage and pepper sauce.
-- Esther McCoy
And that's just some of the many shapes and sizes of pasta, an Italian word that simply means paste, or a mixture of flour and water that can be cut or shaped and cooked in countless ways.
This information is from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, along with ways to cook perfect pasta and how to tell when it is done.
In preparing the popular dish, make sure to look at the package directions because cooking times for different shapes and brands vary. Some hints are:
Don't skimp on the cooking water. For 16 ounces of pasta, use four to six quarts of water in a large pot. This may look like a lot of water, but pasta needs to move freely in the boiling water so the strands or pieces don't stick together.
Cover the pot to bring the water quickly to boiling temperature. Keep the water boiling by adding the pasta slowly. Cook uncovered while maintaining a rolling boil.
Drain cooked pasta in a colander and shake well to get rid of excess water. Skip the rinse as rinsing removes the light coating of starch that covers the surface of each piece of pasta. That coating helps the sauce and seasonings cling. Rinse, using cool water, only if you plan to fill or layer the pasta or use the pasta in a salad.
Pasta continues cooking even after draining. Serve immediately or it will become too soft. To keep pasta warm for a few minutes before serving, use one of the following methods:
Return the drained, cooked pasta to the warm cooking pan. Stir in any additional ingredients or toss pasta with a little butter to help prevent it from sticking together. If you add oil to the cooking water, it is not necessary to add more oil. Cover and let the pasta stand for no more than 15 minutes.
Fill a serving bowl with hot water and let it stand for a few minutes. Empty and dry the bowl; add the hot pasta and cover. Serve the pasta within 5 minutes.
Eight ounces of uncooked small, medium or long pasta makes 4 cups of cooked pasta. Eight ounces of uncooked egg noodles makes 2 1/2 cups cooked pasta. When buying refrigerated, fresh pasta, plan on 3 ounces for each main dish serving and 1 1/2 to 2-ounces for each side dish serving. Substitute 6 to 8-ounces of refrigerated pasta for 4 ounces of dried pasta.
Matching sauce with the pasta needs to be done to complement the dish. Light thin sauces are best paired with thin, delicate pastas, such as angel hair or vermicelli spaghetti. Chunks sauces are best partnered with pasta with holes or ridges, such as mostaccioli, ziti , rotini or radiatore. Heavy sauces compliment sturdier pasta shapes, such as fettuccine, linguine, bucatini or lasagna noodles.
Homemade pasta can be made even without a pasta machine. It will depend on the dough to be cut into either very thin or thicker slices. This recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.
Homemade Pasta
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried basil or sage, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cooking oil or olive oil
In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. In a small bowl, beat eggs; add water and oil. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir to combine. Sprinkle a clean kneading surface with the remaining 1/3 cup of flour. Turn dough out onto the floured surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes total. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-inch square, about 1/16-inch thick. Let stand, uncovered about 20 minutes. Cut in strips according to preference, such as 1/16-inch thick for spaghetti, 1/8-inch thick for linguine or 1/4-inch thick for fettuccine or noodles. For lasagna, cut in 2 1/2-inch wide strips.
This recipe calls for cooking the pasta in the sauce, rather than cooking in boiling water first. It is best to use dried pasta for this.
One-Pot Spaghetti
8 ounces ground beef or bulk pork sausage
1 cup sliced, fresh mushrooms or a 6-ounce jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 medium
1 clove garlic, minced
14-ounce can chicken or beef broth
1 3/4 cup water
6-ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces dried spaghetti broken
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
In a large saucepan, cook the ground meat, fresh mushrooms, onion and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain. Stir in canned mushrooms, if using this type, broth, water, tomato paste, seasonings and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Add broken spaghetti, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Return to boiling and reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 17 to 20 minutes or until spaghetti is tender and sauce is of the desired consistency, stirring frequently. Serve with Parmesan cheese. Makes four servings at 394 calories per serving.
This is a dish from northern Italy and stretches flavorful sausage with white beans. Cannellini are traditional, but any white bean will work.
White Bean and Sausage Rigatoni
2 cups dried rigatoni, 8 ounces
15-ounce can white kidney beans, Great Northern beans or navy beans, rinsed and drained
14.5-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
8 ounces cooked, smoked turkey sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/3 cup shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese, 1-ounce
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to saucepan. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine beans, undrained tomatoes, sausage and dried basil. Cook and stir until heated through. Add meat mixture and fresh basil to pasta. Stir gently to combine. To serve, sprinkle each of the four servings with cheese. This is 432 calories per serving.
This pasta is made with half and half, light cream, chopped clams, white wine and fresh parsley. It is from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook as well.
Pasta with White Clam Sauce
10 ounces dried linguine or fettuccine
Two 6.5-ounce cans chopped or minced clams
About 2 cups half-and-half, light cream or while milk
1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 medium
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, drain canned clams, reserving the juice from one can, it should be about 1/2 cup, Add enough of the half-and-half to the reserve clam juice to equal 2 1/2 cups liquid. Set clams and clam juice mixture aside. In a medium saucepan, cook onion and garlic in hot butter until tender but not brown. Stir in flour, oregano, salt and black pepper. Add clam juice mixture all at once. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
Stir in drained clams, parsley and wine. Heat through. Serve over warm pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Makes four servings at 595 calories per serving.

IBM Systems Director VMControl: Cloud-ready management of Physical and Virtual Infrastructures
IBM® Systems Director VMControl™ helps you gain more from infrastructure wide virtualization, with cloud-ready management. The combination of IBM Systems Director and VMControl allows you to reduce the total cost of ownership of your virtualized environment – servers, storage and networks – by decreasing management costs, increasing asset utilization, and linking infrastructure performance to business goals.
VMControl simplifies the management of virtual environments across multiple virtualization technologies and hardware platforms, freeing you from 'silos of virtualization' and delivering enterprise-wide visibility and control. VMControl is a leading multi-platform virtualization management solution that is included with IBM Systems Director Editions, or available separately as a plug-in option for IBM Systems Director. This diversity of deployment options allows you to select the optimal level of VMControl functionality (Express, Standard or Enterprise) for your virtualized infrastructure and to seamlessly scale up as it evolves.
