I love this recipe! It makes a distinctly flavored chili. I put half a can of fire roasted tomatoes in it and that made it extra good.
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
97 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
This is my go to recipe for chili when I don't make chili con carne. I used ground pork to make it more like true chili verde, a green pepper, no cayenne & salsa verde. (Be careful of the jarred salsa. It can vary in spicyness) It is a little spicy but it is so perfect on a cold winters day especially with home made corn bread or muffins.
Not a huge fan of beans, but this was just the right amount. I made it last night for supper for my husband and I, and his mother came over. We all loved it and I plan on making it a lot more!
I made this halving all of the spicy ingredients. I love the spice as does my husband, but not kids not so much. It was the spiciest chile I have ever eaten! I have a recipe for chile that I make and it is no slouch, but this was so spicy, I almost couldn't eat it. It was very plain tasting, not enough flavors and not enough beans.
This recipe made as is, is not saucy enough or spicy enough. I should have added some things to touch it up. Tasted better on fritos as frito pie with cheese on top, but this makes it very unhealthy. Tastes too boring on it's own.

This is a topological question that came up tangentially to some material I was working on. Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are complete metric spaces and $D$ is a dense subset of $X$. Let $f:D\mapsto Y$ be a continuous injection. Extend $f$ to a function $g:X\mapsto Y$ by continuity. Must $g$ be injective? It seems to me that the answer should be yes, but I haven't been able to prove it.
Map the open unit interval to a circle minus a point, and then extend it to the closed interval.
Joel has completely answered the question, but let me add another example, with a bigger failure of injectivity of $g$. Let $D$ be the set of points in the plane of the form $(\frac1n,\sin n)$ for positive integers $n$. Its closure consists of $D$ plus the segment $S=\{0\}\times[-1,1]$ on the $y$-axis. The projection $(x,y)\mapsto x$ is one-to-one on $D$ but its continuous extension to the closure $D\cup S$, given by the same projection formula, is constant on $S$, i.e., on a bigger set than the set $D$ on which it's one-to-one.
There are analogous examples with the segment replaced by any complete, separable, metric space, for example, Hilbert space. And the only reason for needing the word "metric" there is because it was in the question; otherwise, there would be a Stone-Čech compactification example here.

Long Beach Hosts Trial Of Method To Eradicate Moth 'Pest'
July 20, 2011 2 Comments
by Tiffany Rider, Staff Writer
One-square mile area of Long Beach is being used as an evaluation area of the effectiveness of an eradication program to eliminate the infestation of the light brown apple moth. The evaluation area extends from Ocean Boulevard north to 8th Street and from Temple Avenue east to Ximeno Avenue.
With the support of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), California Department of Food and Agriculture (CFA) and the County of Los Angeles Agriculture Commissioner, an evaluation began on June 16 in which 100,000 to 500,000 sterilized moths are released weekly to disrupt the reproductive process of these pests. The process, called sterile insect technique, has been used to eradicate other invasive insects but is in the trial phases for eradicating the moth.
The light brown apple moth, a quarter-inch moth species, is a declared pest nationally and internationally. It was first discovered in California in 2007 and has threatened nurseries and agricultural crops in 20 counties. The moth, which is native to Australia, has been attacked over the years through quarantine measures such as aerial spraying of synthetic pheromones to disrupt mating and releasing wasps that kill the moth.
Long Beach was selected for an evaluation of the sterile insect technique because of the heavily concentrated infestation in the city, according to the supporting agencies.
Greg Simmons, an entomologist with the USDA, said the moth attacks a number of crops that make for crop losses and hurt the agriculture business. The moth does not make the crops toxic, but causes physical damage to fruits such as grapes, apples, pears, peach, citrus and berry crops.
"We're trying to learn about how long the moths live, how long they fly, traps to count the numbers of moths and wild pest moths," he said. "How we're doing and how far they're moving and how they're living." The sterile insect technique method, he said, could be used as a tool in addition with wasps or possibly a replacement for synthetic pheromone spraying.
A public open house event was held on June 8 at Recreation Park to inform community members of the evaluation. Simmons said only three residents attended, although notifications were placed on the door of the nearly 4,000 homes within the trial area. Representatives from Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe's office, as well as representatives of elected officials in Long Beach were also in attendance, Simmons said.

I am a C# programmer, and most of my development is for websites along with a few Windows application. As far as C goes, I haven't used it in a long time, as there was no need to. It came to me as a surprise when one of my friends said that she needs to learn C for testing jobs, while I was helping her learn C#.
I figured that someone would only learn C for testing only if there is development done in C. In my knowledge, all the development related to COM and hardware design are also done in C++. Therefore, learning C doesn't make sense if you need to use C++. I also don't believe in historic significance, so why waste time and money in learning C?
Is C is still used in any kind of new software development or anything else?

To the editor:
My mother graduated from high school in 1942. People paid taxes for her to go to school. My two brothers graduated from high school in 1962 and 1965, respectively. People paid taxes for them to receive a public education.
I graduated in 1970. Others paid taxes so I could go to school. Our two sons graduated in 1993 and 1995. My husband and I paid taxes for them to go to school. Great-grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins have all paid taxes to educate young people. Our son and daughter-in-law pay taxes to educate their children. If you think you pay high taxes here, move to the big city or to Pennsylvania and see what education will cost you.
None of those I mentioned had to attend a school that was too small to house its students. None attended classes in work-site trailers that are way past their life expectancy with no communication system with the main building, no restrooms and no way to a restroom in the main building except through the inclement weather.
Someone paid taxes to help educate all of you in the Indian Creek, Edison and Buckeye local school districts, as well as the Jefferson County Joint Vocational School. Isn't it time you bury the 40-year-old battles and realize that our children are our future. Isn't it time you paid it forward?

Net neutrality: Consumers concerned with ruling against FCC
|Credit: MCT
Concerned about barriers to innovation — Internet roadblocks, or tolls that might slow or stop the next Facebook or eBay, or kill some company with a data-heavy application you can't even imagine?
Conflicted over the growing power of a handful of companies that build impressive empires partly by choking off potential competition?
If you answered yes to any of those, you should care about net neutrality and the recent decision favoring Verizon in its challenge against the Federal Communications Commission.
On Jan. 14, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit voided key provisions of the FCC's 2010 "Open Internet" order — its latest effort to ensure that the Internet remain something more than another channel on cable TV.
The court rejected the FCC's approach — in particular, its rules that treat broadband providers like traditional phone companies in order to bar them from discriminating against or blocking any data distributed over their networks.
The court said the FCC couldn't take that approach without explicitly reversing its own 2002 ruling that classified broadband as an "information service," not a "telecommunications service."
Thankfully, the ruling dodged two of Verizon's more extreme claims.
One was that broadband providers are essentially publishers, entitled under the First Amendment to "editorial discretion" over any data flowing to subscribers' homes. The other was a claim that any FCC rule limiting a broadband provider's ability to charge tolls for content traversing its network was an unconstitutional "taking" of property.
The end result? Advocates such as Harold Feld, senior vice president of Public Knowledge, and Susan Crawford, a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and author of 2012's "Captive Audience," say the court tossed the ball back to the FCC, but left lots of room for a return volley.
"Common-carrier" rules are the kind traditionally imposed on network industries such as railroads or phone companies that have to carry anybody's freight or conversations. Crawford says regulators' decision a dozen years ago to exempt broadband was based on wishful faith in markets and competition over the wisdom the nation acquired, more than a century ago, as other network industries arose.
Ironically, Feld says the court also concluded that 1996's Telecommunications Act gives the FCC broad authority to regulate broadband providers on a case-by-case basis.
"The FCC could throw out data caps under this ruling," he says. "It could say, 'Your data cap is so low it discourages people from using the Internet.'"
It's not clear what happens next. Although Comcast Corp. promised to abide by the Open Internet rules for seven years to win FCC approval for its takeover of NBCUniversal, we could start seeing some practices that neutrality advocates warn against.
For instance, Verizon and other providers could block access to content from streaming companies such as Netflix unless they pay new tolls.
Both Feld and Crawford say it's well past time for the FCC to admit its mistake and move to protect consumers and Internet innovators over the interests of a small group of powerful network owners.
"When it comes to high-capacity, high-speed Internet access, the vast majority of Americans have just one choice: their local cable monopoly," Crawford says. Verizon's FiOS is likely to reach just 14 percent of the country, and competition elsewhere is rare.
Even with FiOS, broadband is little more than a duopoly — not much better. It's no surprise Comcast's average revenue per customer has risen nearly 140 percent over the last decade, according to Crawford.
That's what dominant companies can do.
Broadband isn't just a telecommunications service — it's "the telecommunications service of the 21st century. It's time to acknowledge the obvious."

Do you have a personal checklist?Choreographers whose work you want to see more of
Posted 14 November 2007 - 03:56 PM
Massine. I finally saw Les Presages last year - my first Massine. Part of my curiosity springs from hearing Francis Mason talk at the Balanchine Symposium in '03 about how much he disliked Massine's ballets.
Lifar. If I go to Paris in February, I can finally see Suite en Blanc.
Nijinska. I love Les Noces, but haven't seen anything else of hers beyond tantalizing bits of footage in documentaries such as the one for the Ballets Russes (I need to check what's in the NYPL collection, if anything.) Was she a one-ballet choreographer, or has history made her into one?
Christensen. I've seen a college production of Con Amore, and will see Filling Station for the first time in February in SF.
Loring. Because I like Billy the Kid, and because I'm curious about Loring because like Bolender he straddled the modern and ballet disciplines but in a very different era when it meant a different kind of combination - I wonder what that has to teach us.
Who's on you hit list of pre-70's choreographers to see?
Posted 14 November 2007 - 04:17 PM
William Dollar. The Duel. Never saw this, but they were still talking about it when I showed up in the NYCB audience a number of years later. And I was a big Melissa Hayden fan.
Ruthanna Boris. Cakewalk. Gottschalk score. I've heard good things about this.
John Taras. Ebony Concerto and Arcade. These continue to provoke warm memories of NYCB in the 60s. Arcade made a huge impression on me at the time. Are either of these done any more?
Glen Tetley. Tristan. The thread on dramatic ballet talks got me thinking about the potential of this story line.
Maurice Bejart. L'Oiseau de Feu. This has also been discussed on another thread. I recently learned that Nijinsky, who could dance on or near pointe, tried to persuade Diaghilev to let him dance the title role. So there's a precedent for a male dancer doing this.
Nijinsky. Jeux. Lyinn Garafola's deconstruction in her Diaghilev book made this sound more fascinating than it probably is. But, what the heck!
Anthony Tudor's Romeo and Juliet.
Edited to add:
Robert Joffrey: Pas des Deeses. I never liked Pas de Quatre, but I did love this. It would seem a perfect fit with a number of smaller companies. Does the Joffrey ever license it?
Posted 14 November 2007 - 04:55 PM
I saw Cakewalk once, probably about 1996. It was brought to New York by Ohio Ballet. It was presented as a good humored trifle, with a few riffs that satirized Giselle and other romantic ballets.
I saw the Joffrey company do Pas de Deeses, but I believe the last time I saw it was about 15 years ago when American Repertory Ballet was still Princeton Ballet. It's reasonably different than the Dolin, particularly with the subtraction of one ballerina and the addition of a danseur.
Posted 14 November 2007 - 05:45 PM
The Joffrey was still doing "Cakewalk" in the 1970s (perhaps a bit later) and I saw that and liked it -- I can't remember anything about it except that it was playful and well-constructed. A girl on a swing? A little cupid with a bow and arrow? Clever, but not too cute, and it made me want to see more of Boris.
I THINK New Jersey Ballet just did Pas de deeses? I also saw the Joffrey do this, with Ann Marie de Angelo, whom an older colleague of mine insisted was the perfect reincarnation of a 19th century Romantic ballerina. (It's a reconstruction of the 19th century star vehicle. Three goddesses and one male dancer.)
I also saw "Romeo and Juliet" in the 1970s. (Looking back, 1980 seems to be a sort of curtain date, at least in America, for Ballets from the Old Repertory.) I would give a lot to see it again. I wanted so much to love it, as I'd read so much about it, but it seemed very dull. Hilda Morales was Juliet and Fernando Bujones was Romeo. I was shocked by the ending -- Romeo wakes up in time to see Juliet dies, and Juliet knows (Isn't there enough tragedy?) -- and liked the designs very much.
There really is a lot out there. Or was
Posted 14 November 2007 - 06:06 PM
I don't know whether these pieces have been revived.
William Dollar. The Duel. Never saw this, but they were still talking about it when I showed up in the NYCB audience a number of years later. And I was a big Melissa Hayden fan.
Ruthanna Boris. Cakewalk. Gottschalk score. I've heard good things about this.
Anthony Tudor's Romeo and Juliet.
Cakewalk I saw a lot when Joffery was doing it and I loved it. Tudor's R&J I saw a while back when ABT did it and was puzzled by it. I'd love to see them both again to see what I make of them. I was pretty young at that time and would love to see them with a mature eye.
Ditto The Duel which I did in lecture/demos back in the day. When you dance something, sometimes you can't tell.
I'd love to see these pieces again. One brings different things to the viewing experience as time one's life goes on.
Posted 14 November 2007 - 06:27 PM
I wonder why. The 60s and 70s were supposed to be the time when everything was overthrown -- but there seemed to be a fairly good coexistence of stretching for the new and reexamining the old.
(Looking back, 1980 seems to be a sort of curtain date, at least in America, for Ballets from the Old Repertory.)
I agree. And its not just "nostalgia." Many works I loved I no longer admire. Others -- some I loved when I first saw them, some I didn't get at all -- seem like revelations; I like them for completely new reasons..
I'd love to see these pieces again. One brings different things to the viewing experience as time one's life goes on.
One thing these ballet experiences have in common -- and you have lived a while to experience this -- is the sense that I am two people watching, feeling, thinking. One's me as I am today. The other is me -- different but also the same -- as a youth.
Posted 14 November 2007 - 06:37 PM
DTH also did Taras' version of the Firebird. It may have been my first Firebird, so I can't compare it to Fokine's or Balanchines.
Another piece of Taras at NYCB (for the Ravel Festival, with a few years' afterlife) was a Daphnis & Chloe, with Hell's Angels and Biker Chicks. Nina Fedorova premiered as Chloe, alternating later with Suzanne Farrell.
I found Souvenirs de Florence rather disorienting -- three couples dancing completely different duets simultaneously. However, as I saw more performances of it, relieved of the effort to see everything all at once, I came not to dislike it so much.
As for the choreographers I'd like to see, I can only echo Leigh's first three choices: Massine, Lifar and Nijinska. I may think of more later.
Posted 14 November 2007 - 07:20 PM
I've mentioned on other occasions how I'd like my first stop in the Time Machine I've put on reserve to be in the audience to watch Nijinsky dance, and of course, to see his choreography. I've always been struck by how his choreography contains NONE of the things for which he was noted as a dancer.
I have seen Le Train Bleu, Les Noces, and I think Les Biches and liked them. It is better to see these ballets with a little background of the work and the times, as they are so much a product of their times and the then-current aesthetic. My recollection is that they are more dramatic and athletic than balletic. To an extent that is a shame, from my point of view, because she was so well-trained in the Maryinsky tradition, that I would have loved to see her using more footwork.
Dance Theater of Harlem produced one of those, but I can't remember which one. It's a major shame that more of her work has not been preserved through performance. I feel that her work was more revolutionary than her brother's work, because she was so much more articulate, informed about the world and sane. Estelle has an excellent page on Nijinska's life and work: http://www.cmi.univ-...e/Nijinska.html
For many years I had a faint memory of a very funny ballet I saw at NYCB as a child.... and had no idea what it was. When City Center first opened after its major renovation in the late 80's or early 90's I was standing on the platform just outside the back of the auditorium, when Mr. Kirstein appeared. What did I have to lose, I described what I remembered of the ballet and asked him what it was. Souvenirs, by Tod Bolender was his answer. Now that I've also seen his Renard, I would love to see more!
I saw Cakewalk as a child, and have no memory of it, but there have been so many interesting things said about Ruthanna Boris that I would love to see more. The few things I've seen by Tetley, though uneven, have piqued my interest.

It would be great to see The Duel, however badly it seems dated.
Posted 15 November 2007 - 04:06 AM
I also saw a Nijinska ballet to a Chopin piano concerto danced by the Denham Ballet Russe, and Lifar's 'Suite en Blanc" performed by POB in '48 in NYC--all I can say, really, is that they paled next to the Balanchine I was seeing.
Posted 15 November 2007 - 04:52 AM
I wonder if the Nijinska/Chopin work you saw was "Constantia"?
Posted 15 November 2007 - 04:53 AM
Funny that you mention Bolander's Renard. Jane Simpson has written elsewhere today about Andree Howards's Lady into Fox. An interesting double bill? What could be a third piece to fill out the evening? The chicken dance from La Fille Mal Gardee?
La Chatte?
Posted 15 November 2007 - 05:10 AM
Mel, thanks for that description of "Cakewalk." In all the references I've seen, yours is the first to actually describe what was going on.
Thinking about lost ballets, there seem to be several reaons for wanting to see them.
On one level, we may actually have the chance to see something of great worth, something "new" (though of course old), even something that might give a few ideas or suggest alternate directions to choreographers in the present.
On another level, you just want to experience them, no matter how they actually look to us today. Kind of like visiting European cathedrals and checking them off your list. Or seeing as many Leonardos as you can, no matter how far apart they are displayed. An week spent watching Fokine's pre-Diaghilev work would probably be deadly. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have the experience and the knowledge?

I especially enjoyed Les Biches when I saw it long ago, and Train Bleu on the Paris dvd. Les Noces was not my cup of tea. I was interested to read that Lincoln Kirstein, visiting Paris as a young man in 1927, , that that Les Biches the "loveliest ballet of all" during the summer season. He described it as "The finest thing I've ever seen in the theater." (Duberman, Lincoln Kirstein.) Of course, he was 20 at the time.
I have seen Le Train Bleu, Les Noces, and I think Les Biches and liked them. It is better to see these ballets with a little background of the work and the times, as they are so much a product of their times and the then-current aesthetic. My recollection is that they are more dramatic and athletic than balletic. To an extent that is a shame, from my point of view, because she was so well-trained in the Maryinsky tradition, that I would have loved to see her using more footwork.
It's also interesting, thinking only of the 3 works mentioned by ViolinConcerto, that Nijinska showed strength both in comedic and emotionally charged works. I shouldn't have been surprised, therefore, to learn recently that she "worked with" with her brother on the development of movements for L'Apres-midi d'un faune. They also appeared to function as a pair when it came to giving Diaghilev and Bakst a first view of the evolving work at the beginning of 1911. (Buckle, Diaghilev.) I can imagine brother and sister working in a studio, side by side, as someone plays the score on an upright piano -- and then showing it proudly to the boss in their own apartment. How much, I wonder, was Nijinka's?

My issue is that I have two lists that I would like to move with their data. While I am able to save both as templates and then upload to the new site, none of the lookup columns in my parent table are populated with data now. Can this be done?
Not to my knowledge. I've always chalked this up to that when the lists are saved, the look-ups are dropped because there is no guarantee that when the lists are provisioned, that the other dependent list will exist, so it can't save the data.
Something I've been meaning to try is to provision the lookup list first then provision the main list and see if the data will still exist. My inclination is that it won't. However, if you export the main list to Excel, provision the list from the template, then go into datasheet mode, you should be able to paste the data from Excel into the list and be back up and running.
I have the same need. I've come across this solution: https://danielthenerd.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/list-template-lookup-by-list-name-not-guid/
Basically, taking the STP, converting it to a CAB, extracting the Manifest.xml, editing it so that the GUID reference is replaced by a name, since the GUID is auto-generated at "run-time".
This works, when creating lists manually (via the UI) - the lookup is preserved.
In our case, I'm trying to create lists via a Visual Studio-generated WSP (feature which dumps the STPs, instantiates lists), with an event receiver to create the lists (List being looked up and another list referring to the first). We were also able to create the lists with the WSP "method".
Gary LaPointe has written some particularly ace extensions to
The documentation for these commands can be found here: Import/Export/Copy Lists
I've used these in the past to move lists containing lookups around successfully; I'm pretty sure the lookup values and IDs had an option to be preserved.
How to produce this issue. - We have created 2 lists "Gender" and "Actors". Gender is going to be a lookup field in actors. After filling some data both the list.

Storage Product: Automated drawer carousel for parts storage
September 29, 2010 - MMH Editorial
Providing more storage locations in less floor space than standard drawer cabinets, the automated drawer carousel increases stored part density with 60 additional cell locations per bin. The carousel consists of an oval track with rotating bins (or sections of shelving) containing shelves and totes that automatically deliver stored items to the operator. Totes slide in and out for quick, easy access to parts. The carousel may also be configured to store bulk items at any height. Inventory optimizing software is included, displaying a part's bin-shelf-cell location and providing basic inventory management. KardexRemstar, 800-639-5805, www.kardexremstar.com.

The sheriff says until they get more deputies, they can't take the time to fill out reports when no one is injured and a crime hasn't been committed.
Collisions with injuries or where a crime, such as DUI, have been committed will get a full investigation by deputies. That won't change as the Washington State Patrol hands over crash investigations on county roads to the Thurston County Sheriff's Office. But where you won't be seeing deputies hanging around writing reports are for the small scale non-injury collisions.
Those with wrecked cars may not like it, and have a state law on their side. Revised code of Washington 46.52.070 requires any officers "present at the scene of any accident or in possession of any facts concerning any accident whether by way of official investigation or otherwise shall make a report."
Does this mean the Thurston County sheriff is asking his deputies to break the law by not writing a report?
"Right now, I don't perceive that we are breaking the law," said Thurston County Sheriff John Snaza. "I perceive that we are interpreting the law and that we're making decisions based on public safety and the needs of Thurston County."
Snaza says the reason for pulling back from minor traffic accidents is to give deputies more time to deal with major crimes such as murders, domestic violence, and robberies -- crimes that demand immediate attention.
"I can't stress that enough is that I'm committed to the citizens to ensure that public safety throughout this county and that's what our job is about," Snaza said.
But when it comes down to those small accidents, residents worry they won't have that accident report to help with deciding who's to blame.
"Without the police report, the customer can't figure out who's going to fix the car," said Kevin Harris with Black Lake Towing & Collision.
The sheriff's deputies will respond to all collisions to make sure everybody's OK and the road is safe, but for minor accidents, until the sheriff gets more deputies, they'll keep their report pads in their pockets.

Palladino: Behr chasing 500th career win
Ray Behr hopes to hit a mighty big number this week. Nearly three decades of coaching at Chase Collegiate, 25 spent with the girls basketball team, has brought Behr to the brink of winning his 500th career game.
The Highlanders, off to a 6-1 start, host King and Low-Heywood Thomas at 5 p.m. Thursday and then local rival Westover on Saturday (1 p.m.).
Behr, 61, is in a transition year with the Highlanders. He walked away at the end of the of the 2010-2011 season as Charlene Riddick took over the program. Behr had 493 victories at the time. But when Riddick stepped down to continue her education, and with Bill Maisto ready to take over in 2013-2014 season, Behr was asked to come back, stabilize the team and make smooth the transition.
"When I left at 493 wins, it didn't bother me," Behr said Monday. "I was just a little tired. When I came back, the kids said I hadn't lost anything. I still had that fire and emotion."
Coaching, Behr said, has been a great settling influence in his life, and in one way at least, his return this year was critical for the Highlanders.
Chase Collegiate has many students from Newtown, and the girls basketball team has direct relationships with children of Sandy Hook Elementary School. One of the Sandy Hook victims, a teacher, Rachel D'Avino, was also a student of Behr's at Chase.
The team decided to
See BEHR, Page 5C
postpone games after the Newtown shootings, and Behr was instrumental in helping the athletes deal with the difficult emotional aftermath. The team now wears angel patches on their uniforms, just above the Chase logo.
"We couldn't find it in ourselves to play," Behr said. "We came together and we talked and we tried to get as strong as we could. One of the kids said to me, 'Coach this is what it is all about, to care about each other, to feel close to each other, and move on in the best way we can.'"
One of the players from Newtown, senior captain Taylor Brady, said that Coach Behr — who is often referred to as Teddy Bear — was a comforting influence.
"I felt like I could go to him if I needed to," Brady said. "Now, he is going for going for 500th victory, and that is a pretty big deal. He is a great coach, always pushing us to be our best, and we have to pay him off somehow."
Behr has heard from Chase alumni around the world who have followed this run towards 500. When Behr gave up basketball, 493 was plenty, he said. But he has warmed up to the idea of 500.
"It means a lot, but it also means a lot to the kids," Behr said. "I tell them, 'You gave me these victories. I just sat on my backside all these years. You have enabled me to reach this plateau.'"
Chase plays its next six games at home, including two this week, which is the perfect place for Behr, and the Highlanders, to make a little history.

Back in August of this year when Sony was touting the 1080p
functionality on its PlayStation 3, Microsoft was downplaying the feature saying that it was all
hype. Microsoft Director of Technical Strategy for Xbox Live had this to
say about 1080p support on the PS3 at the time:
PS3 has roughly the same pixel-pushing capabilities as the Xbox 360. Don't need
to take my word for it, it'll be obvious soon enough over the next year. Even
if this wasn't the case, consider we now live in a multi-platform development
world, and that the current sweet spot developers are targeting is 720p due to
the extremely similar system specifications. Simply put, a developer who is
planning to release their game for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 will aim for a
common attainable ground. In fact, I'll stick my neck out and predict that that
you won't see any 1080"x" games for the PS3 this year.
Well to the surprise of many in the gaming world, Microsoft
did a 180 at the end of September and said that it would indeed support 1080p on the Xbox
360 with a Dashboard update. Adding this feature to the console would at
least leave one less bullet-point that Sony could hold over Microsoft's head.
As scheduled, Microsoft released its Fall Dashboard on October
31 which added support for 1080p over VGA and component cables. So the Xbox
360 gets 1080p, all is right with the world, and we can all game in
peace... right?
Wrong. Almost immediately, complaints of problems with
certain TVs that were supposed to support 1080p over component not functioning
as expected with the update started to flood the internet. Others were having
problems with the VGA cable when hooked up to their monitors. All was definitely
not well with the 1080p update.
So on November 6, Microsoft's Major Nelson acknowledged
that engineers were working to solve the problems and that
another update would be on the way to correct the issues. Well, it appears that
the day is today and Microsoft has issued a patch to fix 1080p support on the
Xbox 360. According to Major Nelson, the new Dashboard Update (which is
available now on Xbox Live) addresses the following:
According to posters over at the AVS Forum,
it appears that Sony's XBR3 television can now correctly display in 1080p with
the new update. But on the other hand, Joystiq's
Christopher Gant states that VGA support still
leaves much to be desired.
despite the update's promise of "improved support for HD video output over
VGA, including 1080p resolution" this blogger still encounters a
significant (and certainly abnormal) amount of screen tearing while using the
VGA connection, not to mention the pale, washed-out colors that have become
emblematic of the 360's VGA implementation. But we're not the only ones with
problems. A quick perusal of the AVS Forums thread shows some other anomalies
that don't instill much confidence in Microsoft's upgraded upgrade.
So it looks as though it's a mighty fine effort on
Microsoft's part to get things patched up with 1080p support, but the work
looks to be far from over. Microsoft opened up a whole new can of worms by
adding 1080p support, but hopefully they will see it through.
quote: There's advantages to both. I don't see how you can say you've seen 1080i sets look better than 1080p in terms of resolution or refresh rate... interlacing looks really bad for motion and destroys the movie theater "feel" of film. But for color and contrast I would choose a CRT every time. Pie in the sky, I'd rather own a Pioneer PRO-FHD1 honestly, but I don't have 8 grand to spend on a TV :)

This one goes out to the expert lushes among you. (So everyone.) For generations, the text on the Jack Daniel's label was the closest many college freshmen ever got to cracking open a book. But the company has decided to revamp their product's look, with a "refinement" that retains the black-on-white aesthetic, while dispensing with many of the quirky stats, boasts and sayings that made it look so cluttered. How many are now missing? And what's there now that wasn't before? Bonus points if you play this drunk.

Venture Right: Our Guiding Philosophy
Great venture capital investing requires the ability to see opportunity where others see challenge. Company builders, market experts and excellent board members are words that describe venture done "right." These are words that describe Menlo Ventures.
How do we know? We asked our entrepreneurs, limited partners and many others in our ecosystem what makes us stand out. They told us it's how we work with our entrepreneurs. We're straight shooters. We have their back – even when times get tough.
We are more than partners. We are allies.
Venture investing is all about discovery and partnership, transforming vision into reality.
We know this well. We've had decades of successful exits—70 public companies and more than 100 mergers and acquisitions since 1976. Plus, entrepreneurs keep coming back to us—20 CEOs in our current portfolio are serial entrepreneurs. And 90% of our founders were in place at the time of exit. That's a number that few other firms can match.
When we commit, we go all-in, serving on our companies' boards with unparalleled dedication and passion. In fact, our board counsel is Menlo's number one added value, our entrepreneurs tell us. They appreciate our decades of experience: our partners who are engineers, patent holders, company founders, and thought leaders with great connections.
Entrepreneurs have tons of venture capitalists to choose from. They choose Menlo because of how we do business.
We don't just invest.
We bring time, energy and passion.

Growing up, my father listened to big band music. These bands are usually referred to as "Glenn Miller and his orchestra" Or "Paul Schaeffer and the CBS Orchestra". Is it that an orchestra has strings? What is the primary reasoning to calling a group of musicians a band, or orchestra?
Small ensembles in the pop and folk idiom can all go by the term of band; this answer will focus on what are referred to as "large ensembles."
In the jazz context, the name of orchestra was historically applied in order to give credence to groups that would otherwise have been marginalized by the cultural mainstream and racism. That term has now been accepted in the jazz tradition. It's possible that "band" originally referred to the military groups that jazz ensemble playing grew out of, and "orchestra" was seen to apply to a higher standard of musicianship. Outside of the jazz context, there are a few more rules that apply:
Orchestra generally refers to any ensemble with sections of bowed string instruments. This can be further broken down into String Orchestra to include only the stringed instruments, and Symphony Orchestra incorporating winds and percussion.
Band, outside the idiom of folk and pop music, generally refers to an ensemble of wind instruments plus percussion section, with or without a string bass. Brass Bands are mostly popular in Europe, and contain the above without woodwind instruments. For those ensembles that include woodwinds, there exist other terms of questionable interchangeability: Concert Band and Symphonic Band are generally used in school music programs with too many musicians for a single ensemble (Typically, the Symphonic Band is held to a higher level of performance than the Concert Band). Additionally, Wind Ensemble is usually held to the highest level of performance, and in most cases contain only one player per part.
To attempt to draw some questionable generalization from this, I might say that the distinction between Band and Ensemble is that of number of players per part. This holds true to jazz in many educational situations: in a music program with more than one jazz group, the Jazz Band might have many musicians per part, while the Jazz Ensemble would be the auditioned, one-on-a-part ensemble.
In the orchestral situation, string instruments are always many-on-a-part for purposes of volume, and orchestral wind sections are almost always one-on-a-part.
Of course, all of this is just an attempt to generalize tradition. Really, the only answer to your question is "because that's what they call themselves."
Just to briefly elaborate on the term Jazz Orchestra... Nowadays this term is interchangeable with Big Band, the instrumentation of which is fairly standardized:
Common variations include vibes, auxiliary percussionist, and/or extra trumpet player. Soloists (traditionally 1st tenor sax, 2nd trombone, and 4th trumpet) are generally seated closest to the rhythm section. Section leaders sit next to them (thus they are all stacked and can hear each other clearly), and remaining parts are sequential down the line, allowing the bass voices (bari sax, 4th trombone, and upright bass) to border the band.
Band is a very imprecise term. Many swing bands contain stringed instruments (Double Bass obviously or Bass Guitar) and some have contained string sections. Pop bands can contain almost anything.
Orchestras can contain almost anything as well, but pretty much but tend to be
In symphonic situations. Philharmonics tend to be bigger, can sometimes incorporate keyboards (I think, piano and the like). Chamber Orchestras tend to be strings with keyboard often (which was usually a harpsichord so technically that would be a string instrument) often wind and sometimes brass (french horns etc).
They are not exact terms really and their definitions can be stretched somewhat.
Generally, the distinction is between a "military band" and a "symphony orchestra", historically the two most common types of large instrumental ensembles. The major difference between those two is that a military band has no stringed instruments (with the possible exception of double bass), instead replacing that area of the sonic space with additional woodwinds and brass. While a 60-member orchestra may only have two or three each of flutes, clarinets, trumpets and horns, a 60-member military band might have as many as eight of each, especially of woodwinds. The term "brass band" is largely synonymous with "military band", while "brass choir" or "wind ensemble" generally implies an ensemble made up more exclusively of brass or woodwind instruments (though "wind ensemble" is often used academically to refer to smaller groups of mixed brass/woodwind).
In the wider sense, "orchestra" generally implies a wider range of instruments, and probably of members, than a "band", even if the terms aren't used in the context of the previous paragraph. "Orchestra" also usually evokes images of a more sophisticated style of music, while "band" implies a more "pop culture" ensemble. However, depending on other qualifiers used to describe the group, the terms "band", "orchestra" and more generic "ensemble" have been used almost completely interchangeably.
The main difference between an orchestra and a "band" has a "leader" an orchestra has a "conductor". Note that a conductor does not play an instrument, whereas a leader does.
My understanding is that the "Band" term began at the commencement of the French Revolution and was the first time a full musical group was composed solely of instruments that were portable and could be played while the musician was walking. The groups paraded Paris gathering followers because of the rousing music. Nowadays the terms are essentially interchangeable at the whim of the leader. Formal symphonic music which is/was composed for instruments which are not playable on the run is performed by an orchestra.
A band has a distinct modern element to it. Though you can have bands with classical instruments in it they tend to play some type of modern music be it Jazz, Swing or Blues.
Also electricity often makes it into the mix where an orchestra usually shuns amplification.

Extjs 4.x.x was released more than two years ago, however, all released versions 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 4.2.x have critical bugs.
As example: a critical bug EXTJSIV-9229 in 4.2.0 http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?259453 This bug is still in 4.2.1 beta, but it is not in 4.1.1a and 3.x.x. This is about remote tree node expand and I believe it is commonly used.
Another difficult bug EXTJSIV-8231, in 4.1.1a as well as 4.2.0, (not in 3.x.x), http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?253837 . No workaround so far even I opened a ticket in the support portal
As a software provider, we cannot afford to release any product with such kind of critical bugs in any applications.

I found this bug a year ago and submitted it through premium support,
got a reply with this link that it has been already addressed.
And after a year, still nothing, and this is a serious bug, if you wan't to make your app by the book and use controllers and people use different resolutions so button will go into overflow on smaller resolutions and not trigger an event.
Workaround is there to put listeners both to button and menuitem, but this is not a menuitem, so workaround is stupid.

I think you guys are being unfair. In a framework this size, there will always be bugs. They can't give you 24hour turnaround on anything you report. In fairness to Sencha, have you even looked at the guts of the new layout system? Do you know the complexity that went into that stuff? It's incredible. Ofcourse there are going to be bugs there. They completely redid how the entire layout engine works. It was a very ambitious change, and it's going to pay off for you in your apps and how they perform going forward, but any time you make a change that huge, there are going to be a few challenges.
To me, the best part about ExtJS (vs Silverlight or Flash or WPF or whatever other compiled framework you used to build apps on), is that you have full access to the source code. So what you can do is, instead of just reporting a bug and sitting there waiting for a fix, get active in the community, or try to troubleshoot it yourself. If instead of just posting the bug, you post it and tell them you've found the problem in the code here, and this is the fix, guess what? Your odds of it being fixed in the next release just went way up. What I do for bugs is, report them, but then look into fixing them myself. And then, in my app.js, I have a section of overrides where I put my (temporary) bug fixes until Sencha gets them fixed. When I upgrade to a new release, I comment out my bug fix overrides, and I test those features and see if they were fixed by Sencha. Hopefully, they were. If not, I keep the override in place (possibly tweaking it a little if there were edits to that section of code in the new release)
Now you can come back with "Yeah but I shouldn't have to fix bugs!!!!" News flash -- every framework has bugs. You just have more visibility into them here because you've got the code. Take advantage of that. When I used to run into bugs with Silverlight, i was basically screwed. With ExtJS, I can usually just fix them and move on.

I've been trying to build an Android 4.0 app using Sencha Touch 2.2 and Sencha Cmd 3.1.1 for a few days, and it is not working. I posted a question in a forum and no responses either.
If you build Android 3.0 app it works, but it won't work in Android 4.0 emulator or Android 4.0 phone.

STEUBENVILLE - With the election just weeks away, candidates for Jefferson County commissioner, the Ohio Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives took center stage Thursday at a political forum sponsored by the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce and designed to help voters make up their minds.
Taking part in the forum were:
U.S. House of Representatives, 6th District: Incumbent Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, and Charlie Wilson, D-St. Clairsville.
Article Photos
PACKED HOUSE — A large crowd turned out Thursday evening for the candidates' forum presented by the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. - Michael D. McElwain
WATCHING — Margie and Frank Calabria of Steubenville listened to the candidates' forum at Eastern Gateway Community College Thursday evening. Both said the forum helped them make important choices. - Michael D. McElwain
Ohio Senate: Incumbent Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, and Shane Thompson, R-St. Clairsville.
County commissioner: Incumbent Dave Maple, a Republican, and his Democratic challenger, Robert "Steve" Vukelic; and incumbent Commissioner Tom Gentile, a Democrat, and his independent challenger, Craig "Billy" Petrella II.
While the forum was intended to help voters make informed decisions at the polls, the several hundred people seated in Eastern Gateway Community College's main lecture hall Thursday seemed to know exactly who and what they supported even before the debate began, many wearing T-shirts and carrying signs touting the candidate of their choice and reacting enthusiastically when their candidate addressed the crowd while responding to questions asked by a panel of representatives from local media outlets.
U.S. House of
6th District
Johnson, seeking re-election, said the administration's energy policy is choking the coal industry.
"Coal is one of the most affordable, reliable forms of energy we have on the planet," Johnson said. "But we have a war going on against coal just ask the miners who have lost their jobs, ask the families who are paying $300 a year more to fuel their homes, ask the businesses in jeopardy of shutting down because they can't afford skyrocketing energy prices."
Wilson said Washington "has to do something with the EPA," noting he bucked Democratic leaders when he voted against the controversial cap-and-trade climate bill three years ago during the second of his two terms in Congress. Wilson lost the seat to Johnson in the 2010 election.
"The last thing we needed was an energy tax that would hurt our coal jobs," he said. "I voted 'no.' I was proud to be able to stand up for this area."
Wilson said the Obama administration's health care law "was the most difficult vote of my career ... but I couldn't stop thinking about the 31,000 children in this district of ours, all the people who had pre-existing conditions that would have no coverage today. I thought about the seniors there are 116,000 seniors who today have access to preventive care, things like diabetes screenings and colonoscopies, that type of care they wouldn't have had."
But Johnson called the health care law "exactly what the Supreme Court validated that it was, it's one of the largest tax increases on the American people in America's history," and said 40 percent of America's businesses "are saying that's the reason they aren't in a position to grow or expand and hire workers."
"When asked earlier this year why he voted for the health care law Mr. Wilson said it's a way of directing the American people to accept something that's good for them," he added. "As if the American people aren't smart enough to think for themselves. When he voted for the health care law, he voted to cut $716 billion out of Medicare - that's $1.8 billion for seniors here along the Ohio River, $15,000 more per year over 10 years in additional health care costs for seniors."
Johnson told the crowd the federal government should be less involved in regulating the oil and gas industry, pointing out that Ohio "has been regulating the oil and gas industry very well since 1965, and been one of the model states in terms of environmental protection and safety in oil and gas.
"The last thing we need is for the EPA to come in and start stepping on this opportunity for the citizens of Eastern and Southeastern Ohio," he added. "Keep in mind, even the administrator of the EPA herself, Lisa Jackson, has said that in over 1 million hydraulic fracturing operations in over 60 years, there has not been one proven instance where hydraulic fracturing has damaged the water supply. We don't need the federal government coming in and regulating what the State of Ohio has been doing very well."
Wilson agreed, saying it's "an opportunity that's great, going to bring jobs, we need to get as many local jobs as we can."
"My objection is with Congress voting for a two-year transportation bill instead of a five-year transportation bill," Wilson said. "There's no way for ODOT to plan what bridges need replaced, what roads need to be redone - two years is nothing but a patch. Bill Johnson voted for it and I think it was wrong. I think you have to have some outlook ... basically some vision of what's going to happen in our area because of a lack of a transportation bill."
Asked about the increasingly nasty tone of the race, how voters are responding and whether the race should focus more on issues, Wilson replied only that, "I believe it should focus more on issues."
"However, there are two main areas. Jobs - my opponent has voted to send jobs to trade with Columbia, Panama and South Korea. I think that's a serious problem and second, health care. My opponent has voted twice to kill Medicare, to make it into a voucher system. I think that's wrong."
Johnson, though, said the problem with the 6th District race and what he says the people of Ohio see as a problem today is a lack of integrity.
"The election commission has already established probable cause that Mr. Wilson is lying about my record on Medicare," he said. "He admitted himself that he's lying about my record on job creation. That's the problem with the negative in this election. Look at Mr. Wilson's record on job creation he voted for a stimulus bill that sent hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars overseas to countries like China, and he sells furniture right there in Bridgeport, in his showroom, that's made in China. It's disingenuous to say otherwise."
Johnson said Congress must look to regulatory and tax reforms to boost employment .
"Get the regulators off the necks of businesses so that business can grow and hire and expand," he said, describing the U.S. tax code "one of the most onerous tax codes in the free world."
"We need to eliminate the loopholes, let everybody have some skin in the game, but let everybody, including businesses, keep more of what they earned so they that can grow and hire and expand. That's what's going to put people back to work."
Wilson said Congress needs to "stop voting for jobs in Columbia, Panama and South Korea."
"It's real simple," he said. "Jobs have been shipped offshore just look at our steel mill here in Steubenville, the fact that it's being cut up and sold off for scrap. The kind of jobs we need are manufacturing jobs Bill Johnson doesn't believe manufacturing is the way to success for this district (but) it's the only thing, the only thing we have. This is a blue-collar area. It's not Wall Street, it's Main Street."
Wilson said his opponent had twice voted to raise interest on student loans and cut 45 percent of Pell Grant funding, saying "everybody should have a chance to get a college education. I really believe that's the only way to stimulate our economy in this area."
Johnson, though, took issue with Wilson's characterization of the votes, saying his opponent "seems to circle around the truth and never get to it."
"It was the Democrats under he and Nancy Pelossi who put a sunset clause into law that allowed low interest rates for student loans to expire," he said. "Let me ask you a question: Are the student loans high today? No. You know why? Because I voted, along with the Republican-led House, to keep them down. What he's telling you is absolutely untrue."
Ohio Senate
Lou Gentile said the Kasich administration cut millions of dollars from Ohio's budget, "and it was done on the backs of public education and our local governments." He said local property taxpayers can't shoulder the burden of education.
"Over time, we need to slowly increase the state's share of funding to local school districts," he said. "We need to get back to a system that does that."
He said the state budget increased by $2 billion, but in the process "schools took huge cuts right here in Jefferson County."
Thompson said one of the biggest problems he sees in Ohio's education system "is the disparity in learning between Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus and Buckeye Local, Toronto and Steubenville."
"There's about a $6,000 per pupil per year disparity, and that needs to change," Thompson said.
Thompson said the Legislature needs to "cut regulations, cut taxes and make Ohio more competitive."
"Shale gas, right now there's opportunity for a lot of money to come back when ad valorem, the tax that governs production, kicks in. Local communities are starting to see a little bit of an uptick in the bed tax and some other things. We need to put the hammer down and make sure the oil and gas industry grows. Looking to Columbus to solve our long-term funding problems hasn't worked so well in the past, so I think we need to find sustainable ways to fund investment and have a viable economy."
Lou Gentile said the Kasich administration has espoused "a reverse Robin Hood strategy," taking money away from local school districts and putting it into the state's coffers."
"To attract business to come here and keep business here, we need to be able to provide critical services," he said. "Taking money from (local government) and sitting on it in Columbus is not a formula for growth."
Thompson said he would "be a voice to champion our energy assets and bring growth and jobs" to eastern Ohio," while Lou Gentile said he would continue to "work across the political aisle" to win bi-partisan support of issues important to area residents.
Jefferson County Commissioner
Tom Gentile vs Craig "Billy" Petrella II
Tom Gentile said the oil and gas boom "has done a lot for a lot of people," not just landowners.
"If you talk to local businesses, talk to people in local restaurants, everybody says they're starting to benefit," he said. "Everybody saying it's going well. Of course, we always want jobs (to stay) local, but even when people come in here to work they're spending money in our grocery stores, in our restaurants and pulling into our gas stations."
Petrella agreed that the community as a whole is benefiting, saying it's "an exciting time for us, we could be on the brink of something that could be very big for our community."
"We need somebody who can embrace that," he said, adding that with rumors of more hotels being built, the county needs to get a hotel occupancy tax on the books.
With regard to the county taking over Smithfield's water system, Petrella said it could never be a positive to turn water off "to 400 citizens who need water to survive," though he said more research could have been done.
"It's a very sticky situation," he said. "I do support those who need water in the southern part of our county, however, we have to respect the people who have been paying for our water district for 37 years, paying in and paying in, listen to their concerns because they continually are the ones paying the bills and I think they should have a voice and representation. All they need is transparency and to be welcomed in, say here's where we're at, we understand your concerns."
Tom Gentile, though, said the commissioners looked at the deal very thoroughly before deciding to move forward with the acquisition.
"The residents are paying their bills, the village is not paying us," he said. "We are buying that system for $150,000 -that's what they owe us. That is about the cheapest acquisition of customers the county could ever get. When we did Rush Run, we spent $2 million and picked up 106 customers, about $19,000 a customers. If we spent a million dollars upgrading Smithfield's system, at 400 customers we would pick them up for $2,500 per customer. It's a great deal."
Gentile said acquiring the Towers office building in Steubenville makes sense.
"We're looking for a place to purchase rather than keep paying rent," Gentile said. "We're currently paying about $84,000 a year in that very building, and we're paying another $20-some thousand, maybe $30,000, in various other buildings around the county. It doesn't necessarily have to be that building; we're looking for an opportunity to discontinue paying rent and pay ourselves as the owner of the building."
But Petrella said the original purchase price quoted for the Towers was $1.7 million, which he said was well overpriced. While he said he's happy the committee "came back with a much lower price when we start looking at repairs, they're going to be sizable.
"I understand purchasing a building rather than renting," Petrella said. "But there are other buildings, there are other options. We don't want to put that on the taxpayers."
Maple vs. Vukelic
It was Vukelic himself who raised questions about his criminal record, acknowledging he made mistakes in the past, "and I apologize for my mistakes."
"I owe taxes, I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes in this county," he said. "I'm on a tax agreement with the treasurer and auditor, I will pay my taxes in full."
Later, in response to questions from the panel, he said that, in order for him to serve, he first must win the election.
If that were to happen, "I will take that winning vote to the judges of Jefferson County," he said. "Both of them have sealed the records of individuals for more severe crimes. I cannot serve unless I win."
Maple said the issue of his opponent's past conviction has not been a part of his campaign.
If you read any of my literature, watch any of my commercials or listen to my radio spots, I have not mentioned the challenges Mr. Vukelic spoke about because of (his record). I have not. There are other folks who want to say that about him, but I have not."
Maple said when he took office, "the industrial park really had an empty spec building and one tenant."
"We've seen it grow in the last few years, had good growth both in the industrial park and the airpark," Maple said.
Maple said the commission is always looking at ways to maximize opportunities, even though the development climate has not been good in recent years
"We do offer incentives, up to and including free property to businesses that create jobs in our county," Maple said. "We will continue to try and offer incentives to locate in our county."
Vukelic, though, said the county needs to be "more involved in enticing companies to come here, and utilize our rail and river."
"I think people see the industrial park is vacant, there's a very, very sparse population growing there," he said, promising to "assist businesses interested in coming" to Jefferson County.
But he questioned giving local businesses tax breaks, saying if you "give one local business tax breaks, don't you think everybody should get tax breaks, free property and free grants and whatever else goes free?"

People for Whom One Cellphone Isn't Enough
Many use a second mobile device to keep photos and text messages private
When he worked at a Southern California law firm, Luke Cocalis had one cellphone, a Samsung Galaxy. But using the single device for both personal and professional activities became stressful in ways he hadn't foreseen.
"I would pick up the phone for something else and I would see a work email, and I would feel the temptation to get involved," says the 28-year-old Encinitas, Calif., resident. Some of the work emails, he says, were the kind that would "ruin your night."
Mr. Cocalis found a solution—a second phone. When he switched jobs last year, becoming an in-house attorney, he received a company-issued iPhone, and now he can literally put his work away by setting aside the iPhone. "It frankly keeps me saner," he says.
With work and home lives more intertwined than ever, some people are trying to maintain a clear line between the two by carrying two cellphones.
They are putting up with a cumbersome second device—and an additional phone bill—in favor of the ability to unplug from the office without going phone-less. And with pictures of the children on one device and emails to the boss on the other, having two phones creates an extra layer of privacy.
The dual-device habit comes as cellphones have become a focal point of daily life. Ninety percent of American adults have a cellphone, and 58% own a smartphone, according to the Pew Research Center. The average U.S. home had 6.5 Internet-connected devices at the end of 2013, up from 5.6 devices in 2012, according to NPD Group's Connected Intelligence/Connected Home Report.
Mr. Cocalis says his two phones keep him connected, but on his terms. He keeps his work iPhone handy. "But I can also keep it away from me," he says. "If I'm going to dinner on a Saturday night, I don't need to take it." His new boss has his personal cellphone number for emergencies. He says he intentionally picked an older model iPhone, the 4S, for work, so he isn't tempted to use it for more than email.
Erica Robbins, a 33-year-old production manager in Los Angeles, says having two phones helps her stay focused and maintain her privacy. She says she only ever brings her work-issued BlackBerry BBRY -0.26 % to meetings and leaves her personal Samsung Galaxy behind. "I don't want to be distracted by anything that's not work-related," Ms. Robbins says.
Ms. Robbins says she also has a "Big Brother" consideration in the back of her mind. While there's nothing she does online that her company would object to, Ms. Robbins says, she prefers to keep personal activity out of her employer's reach. "I really don't want work to ever be like, 'I'm going to take your phone, I'm going to see these things,' " she says.
Actually, companies do have the ability to access nearly all information on a company-issued device in the U.S. "The general rule is companies can do what they wish with the communications and with the device itself," says Lisa Sotto, a partner at the law firm Hunton & Williams and chairwoman of its privacy and cybersecurity group.
WSJD is the Journal's home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
That's for good reason, Ms. Sotto adds. A company would want to be able to access a device in the event of litigation involving an employee's email or text messages. If the device is lost or stolen, the company would want to be able to wipe it remotely—deleting personal pictures and texts in the process—so potentially sensitive data wouldn't be disseminated.
And many companies, no matter the size, are at least spot-checking emails, looking for potentially illegal or "untoward" behavior, Ms. Sotto says.
People who have personal devices loaded with company email or software could be subject to similar activities. The safest assumption, Ms. Sotto says, is, "if you are co-mingling work and play, you should expect that your employer could seek access to the 'play' data."
Hilda Canes Garduño, a 37-year-old resident of Fairfax, Va., says she has no expectation of privacy as a project manager for the federal government. Her work may be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests, internal investigations and litigation. She keeps all her personal activities, including pictures of her children, on her Samsung Galaxy, and all of her mobile work on her government-issued BlackBerry.
Like many two-phone people, Ms. Canes Garduño keeps her other devices on one side or the other of the work-personal divide. She has a work-issued laptop, two personal laptops and the family's desktop computer. Her husband, an attorney, has a work and a personal laptop, and a work-issued iPad along with the family iPad. "I like having that clear demarcation," she says.
It wasn't hard mastering two operating systems for her two different phones, Ms. Canes Garduño says. The real challenge is keeping everything charged. At night, she makes sure to plug in each device. "It's almost like putting them to bed," she says.
Then there is the question of how best to carry two phones. Ryan Schinman, a 42-year-old chief executive of an entertainment consulting firm in New York, keeps his Samsung Focus in his right front pants pocket and tucks his BlackBerry into the left pocket of a blazer.
Teasing from friends or colleagues is common. Among the jabs Mr. Schinman hears: "You are too important for just one device," which he laughs off.
Mr. Schinman, who spends a lot of time on the phone, likes taking calls on his Samsung while reading emails on his BlackBerry. If he loses one phone, he can call it with the other. "If one battery does, God forbid, go out, I have an actual working phone as well," he says.
Despite all their efforts, two-phone people may have their home and work worlds collide. Chloe Ifshin, a 24-year-old assistant talent manager in New York, has two phones and keeps a strict divide between work and personal emails. But text messages and phone calls are becoming increasingly blurred.
"I have friends who are clients and clients who are friends," she says. "So it's difficult to entirely separate those things." Work contacts migrate to her personal phone, and friends know to reach her on her work phone.
"There are a lot of things I need to check," she says of her two-phone lifestyle. "I have twice the voice-mail accounts, twice the emails, twice the text messages, twice the missed calls."
It has become second nature, says Ms. Ifshin, who has had a smartphone since 2007, her freshman year of college. "I guess I feel like if I'm going to have any devices, I may as well have two."

I was over on stack overflow and a user asked a pretty simple question about a HTML layout. (The question can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3196859/3-column-web-parts-page/3196934#3196934)
He accepted an answer, which, in my opinion, was a bad answer (i.e. I would never offer this advice to people starting to learn HTML / CSS.)
The user is happy, because it was an easy way to do something, but I am unhappy as I feel it is wrong and if someone searches for this question and views the answer, they will apply this method too. It is quite a common answer and I am doing to assume that it will recieve no more down votes due to low views.
The other user that answered the question with the bad answer is stuck in his/her way and voted my question down, when it is clearly a better answer than his (not that I care about the down vote, it is just the principle)
What is the best way to deal with it?

Is Circumcision Related to Cervical Cancer Risk?
Ivor Benjamin, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Is a woman at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer if her spouse is uncircumcised vs. a spouse that is circumcised?
Ivor Benjamin, MD, Former co-Editor-in-Chief of OncoLink, responds:
Possibly. There is some medical evidence to support an increased risk for developing cervical cancer in women who have male sexual partners that are uncircumcised. In 1993, Agarwal et al (1) reported that: "Sex with uncircumcised men or men circumcised after age 1 year increased the risk of cervical cancer (RR, 4.1)."
However, other studies have not shown a statistically significant increase in cervical cancer women with uncircumcised partners. Kjaer et al (2) reported that circumcision was a potentially importantalthough not statistically significant protective factor against cervical cancer (RR = 0.3, p = 0.18). The most significant risk determinants were a history of genital warts in the male (RR = 17.9 for ever vs. never) and ever having used condoms (RR = 0.2).
