Please refer to my other messages #316/330/346... this was coming for a number ofmonths.This is now a value stock in this range. They havelost a great deal of money in the unregulated side butmy have already reserved additional funds foranother reorganization. A very small increaserecommendation the ALJ in their rate case is going to hurt agreat deal. I believe they asked for +$800 million andthe ALJ recommended about 10% of that. The Commissionusually takes the ALJ's recommendation prettyseriously.I am still looking to cover around the 22/share butlook to get long around the 19/19.5 range.GoodLuck!

Are there any other steps that needs to be done after renaming the a blog from the wp super admin site?
After renaming it there, I get 404 Not Found errors when accessing the blog. I checked the database records for posts and some other tables and they still have the old url.
Do I need to update all those records too? I can access the blog-specific wp-admins with the new name... how come I can't access the others?
I'm running nginx and wordpress.
Thank you for any advice you could share.

Is it incorrect to say, 'Give me it' ? I am told that it is and one should always say, 'Give it me'?

"Give me it" sounds very odd in Standard English, but so does "give it me". If you want to be on the safe side, I would go with "give it to me".
There are, however, dialects where "give me it" and "give it me" are acceptable or even preferred, see e.g. this BBC article:
I also found this interesting quote on Google Books, in a book titled "The Edinburgh history of the Scots language":
The construction is perfectly good: in English, you can put an indirect object before the direct object, without a preposition, as
However, I find it a bit awkward to do so when the direct object (the thing you are giving) is a small as the word "it", and would more likely say give it to me.
On the other hand, I find no problem with show me it.
The it should refer to something that is already known, as used to avoid repeating yourself. Instead of:
you could use:
You would hardly say "Give the book me", even if the special form "Give it me" is used in some places.
If both me and it could be understood by the situation, you could just say (but perhaps not write):
Give it me (Gib es mir) and Give it here (Gib es her) both sound like an Americanized version of how the (correct, I should add) German version is uttered. I am a linguist also, and I would not be surprised if the origin of these two utterance was indeed German (not Germanic, I mean German, literally), spoken somewhere in the northern region of the east coast, most likely Pennsylvania.
It is common to encounter lots of sentences like these in areas such as Pennsylvania, where there has traditionally been a high number of settlers from Germany. This is also where you would hear sentences such as "Can I come with?", which is a word-by-word-literal translation of the German version "Kann ich mitkommen?". Many of these have been taken over by literal translation into English by settlers, and taken over into English grammar in that area, whereas one would not hear people say that further inland.
I don't know if this thread is still live but I have encountered "give it me" in literature up until about the second world war in southern English, even though I would say it is almost exclusively a northern construction today. I think perhaps it is an archaic construction, common in early modern Shakespeare, which carried through to what Mitford identifies as "U" (as opposed to "non-U") English, similar to expressions such as "wait at table" which omits the "the" before table. "Give it me" occurs in E. F. Benson, for example, whose prose so carefully reconstructed the language of the upper middle class of the inter-war years. Similarly I am sure it appears in E. M. Delafield's works. "Give it to me" is certainly more natural and is more correct now that the old usage has fallen away, though I fancy in its day the other would have been favoured by linguistic pedants.

Passion for DNA: Genes, Genomes and Societyby James D. Watson
View All Available Formats & Editions
A principal architect and visionary of the new biology, a Nobel Prize-winner at 34 and best-selling author at 40 (The Double Helix), James D. Watson had the authority, flair, and courage to take an early and prominent role as commentator on the march of DNA science and its implications for society. In essays for publications large and small, and in lectures around the world, he delivered what were, in effect, dispatches from the front lines of the revolution. Outspoken and sparkling with ideas and opinions, a selection of them is collected for the first time in this volume. Their resonance with today's headlines is striking.

Read an Excerpt
Part I: Autobiographical FlightsEmotionally and intellectually I have been more formed by Chicago than by experiences anywhere else. Outsiders often sneer at Chicago, but I know otherwise. There, in 1928, 1 was born into a family with three paramount values. One was the importance of books and the belief that knowledge would liberate mankind from superstition, which for my father, brought up to be an Episcopalian, meant religion. The second value was birds. From his adolescence, my father was addicted to observing birds, and later I happily joined him knowing that it liberated me from the Sunday services of my mother's church. By the time I entered South Shore High School, I also was obsessive about trying to find rare birds in Jackson Park, around Wolf Lake, or out in the Indiana sand dunes at Tremont. It gave romance to my life and more than compensated for being even shorter than my finally 5'2" sister, Betty, two years my junior. Our third family value was the nobility of the Democratic Party, led by my first real hero, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Then if you had a family car, you could afford to be a Republican, but if you had been knocked down by the Depression, common sense made you a Democrat.
Beginning when I was about 12, my father and I every Friday evening made the mile-long walk to the library on 73rd Street to browse among its stacks and invariably bringing several home to digest during the following week. Our house was also filled with books, the more recent of which came from the Book of the Month Club, but most of which came from the used book shops in the Loop or Hyde Park. Dad worshiped persons of reason and took particular pleasure in readingthe thoughts of the great philosophers. His library also had the occasional book on science, and it was those, not the books on philosophy, which I pored over when the weather was too unpleasant for bird watching. Learning about evolution particularly caught my fancy, with Darwin's theory of natural selection providing a rational way to think about the diverse forms of life that first excited me through trips to the Field Museum.
Even before I entered the University of Chicago in 1943, 1 had begun to daydream about being a scientist, though I had to wonder whether I was bright enough to enter this world filled with geniuses. All too clearly I had not entered the University of Chicago at 15 because of my high IQ. I was far from the child genius that say Wally Gilbert, several years later, grew up to be in Washington. My premature departure from South Shore High School instead reflected the fact that Robert Hutchins, still the almost boy president of the University of Chicago, considered American high schools disasters that never could be reformed. And instead of wasting money failing to improve them, he had the simple solution of getting kids into college two years earlier. That I was one of the first entrants into Hutchins' Four Year College owed much to my Southside-Irish raised mother, who had gone to the nearby University of Chicago. It was she who saw that I filled out the application form for a tuition scholarship which later let me attend college, initially needing only from my family the two three-cent fares for the daily streetcar ride of some 30 minutes.
My first two years at the U of C were superficially not very successful, with my grades (largely B's) continuing to expose to all my non-genius qualities. But they prepared me for the future by instilling upon me three new values. The first was to focus on original sources instead of textbooks - read the great books themselves, not the interpretations of others. The second value was the importance of theory. Of course, you have to know some facts, but much more important is how to put them together in some rational scheme. And thirdly, you had to concentrate on learning how to think as opposed to improving memorization skills. Initially, to my annoyance, the big comprehensive exams that gave us our grades for the entire year often seemed to bear no relation to what you learned in your lectures. With time I realized that I did not have to take notes but instead could concentrate on whether the lecturer's words actually made sense. In retrospect, I now realize I was acquiring the mental habits which later made me acceptable first to Luria and Delbruck and later to Francis Crick.
And Chicago being then the Second City and the University of Chicago not as old as Harvard, I saw no reason to treat authority with much reverence...
Meet the Author
James D. Watson was born in 1928 in Chicago. After graduation from the University of Chicago, he worked in genetics at Indiana University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1950. He spent a year at the University of Copenhagen, followed by two years at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University. There he met Francis Crick, and the collaboration resulted in their proposal in 1953 of a structure for DNA. After a two-year period at Cal Tech, he joined the faculty at Harvard where he remained as Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology until 1976. Since 1968, as director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, his research has centered on bacterial virus, molecular genetics, and the synthesis of proteins.
In 1962, together with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, Dr. Watson was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology. Prior to The Double Helix, he wrote The Molecular Biology of the Gene, which is now in a third edition.

Posted on 01/10/2012 7:31:30 AM PST by Iam1ru1-2
From: Number Sleuth
Don't know about the whole world, but I do know that all the gold in California is in the bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else's name.
India sure likes to wear jewelry
If the economy doesn't turn around soon, a major percent of the gold in the US will end up in pawn shops.
Mrs. Newt
Sold my last coin yesterday! I'll barter with hamburger meat if it does get bad. But I truly know we are Americans and we can fix it when the adults are in charge!
I have read that there is more gold dissolved in the world's oceans than in all the treasuries on earth............
Who wants to barter with bad hamburger meat?..............
It's a fiction to say that the gold in California is gone.
Sure, they took out the easiest 20% that had been eroded out of the hills and did some mining for it BUT people who are involved in surveying and mining will tell you that 80% of it is still there. But deep and hard to get, and environmental laws are a beech!
One thing I keep hearing is that no matter what happens with gold, it will soon start to be general knowledge that THERE IS LESS USABLE SILVER IN THE WORLD THAN GOLD!!
Some estimates are as low as around 2 billion ounces...
Yeah, well don't forget:
Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero can scar a man forever, right down to your soul.
hmmm...better start mining asteroids then.
2000 years old, and you can still buy something with it today. What will a wad of Federal Reserve Notes buy 2000 years from now?
but that fiat money is sooooo much better...
Actually, that coin is late 4th century, so only about 1,700 years old. Probably worth more today than when minted in Ravenna, Italy, ca. 496 A.D.
"What will a wad of Federal Reserve Notes buy 2000 years from now?"
The real question is what will they buy 2 years from now.
Yes, but millions of years of erosion of mountains continually eroding gold into the seas has probably left tons of gold swirling around in the oceans, one atom at a time........
Thanks Iam1ru1-2.
Gold : prices, facts, figures & research
Commodity Numbers FAQs
How much gold is there?
In the world there are currently somewhere between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes of gold 'above ground'. To visualise this imagine a single solid gold cube with edges of about 19 metres (about three metres short of the length of a tennis court). That's all that has ever been produced.
Divided amongst the population of the world there are about 23 grams per person, about 1.2 cubic centimetres each. This equates to about $250 - $350 worth per person on Earth, depending on the current price.
Of people...or gold...???

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/13 -- Primary Petroleum Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PIE)(OTCQX:PETEF) ("Primary" or the "Company") advises that its JV Partner has informed the Company that it does not intend to enter into the Phase II program under the Sales and JV Agreement dated October 17, 2011. The JV Partner will retain its earned working interest in the Pondera-Teton leasehold and continue to work with Primary to assess options to best realize future value in the prospect area.
Primary will continue to further evaluate the data generated by the Phase I program to better determine a go-forward exploration program that will continue to de-risk the multi-formation play.
Primary has currently engaged Image Interpretation Technologies ("IIT") to acquire a high-resolution aeromagnetic and gravity survey across the northern half of the project area. The objectives of this survey are:
1. To establish the tectonic framework over the northern half of our land position. 2. Assess the potential influence of deep-seated structures on prospective formations. 3. Create a series of templates over the known oil and gas fields in the area. Pondera Field, which is adjacent to Primary's land holdings to the east, and Gypsy Basin Field, which our leases surround, have together produced over 30 million barrels of Sunburst and Madison oil. 4. Integrate the data collected from the survey with existing 2D and proprietary 3D-seismic data. 5. Pending results, a second aeromagnetic survey may be acquired over the southern half of our land position.
We anticipate that interpretation of the aeromagnetic survey will be completed by the end of April 2013 and will enable Primary to better assess its options with Industry to realize the future potential of this very large and contiguous land position in Pondera and Teton Counties in NW Montana (600 gross and 512 net sections) as the Phase I program assessed less than 20% of the JV Lands.
The Company is continuing with its ongoing assessment of the 3rd well from the Phase I horizontal completion program and will move forward with assessing the vertical Madison well that was initially tested earlier in the Phase I program.
As reported in our most recent quarterly financials ending November 30, 2012, Primary has a working capital surplus of approximately Cdn $16.5 million with no debt. Our Lands are secured well into the future and of the 384,000 gross and 328,000 net acres under the Joint Venture only 36,000 gross and 22,000 net acres require further assessment prior to 2017. These facts provides the Company with several options to create future shareholder value from our current assets and balance sheet.
About Primary Petroleum Corporation - Primary is a junior oil and gas company engaged in exploration and development activities in NW Montana and currently holds substantial land positions in both an unconventional and conventional oil play. The Company's mandate is to continue to acquire strategic opportunities in the Sedimentary Basins of the Western United States and Canada and seek out qualified industry partners to assist in the exploitation and development.

I tried this code as well. It does allow for a bigger logo, but the height also affects the height in the dropdown menu – each dropdown item is also 159px tall. What's a good work around?
I'm having the same issue. I want a big logo that overhangs the menu area on the right. How is this done?
@lucindaholland: Please create a new topic. We don't want the issues and request getting jumbled up. Anyway, please post a screenshot of what you're trying to achieve with the logo.

HOUSTON, Texas – Rice head volleyball coach Genny Volpe announced the addition of Florida State transfer, Leah Mikesky to the Owls roster on Monday.
Mikesky, a redshirt freshman from Schulenburg, Texas, played in 18 games (four starts) in 2013. The 6-1 outside hitter, who played club for TEXSTAR, totaled 71 kills (1.5 per set) on 212 attacks and had eight service aces. Mikesky was also sixth on the team in digs with 77.
"We are very excited to have Leah join our team," Volpe said. "She is someone we know well, as we recruited her out of high school. She will be adding a lot of experience to the outside hitting position along with strong work ethic and competitive drive. Rice is a great fit for her academically as well as she is a very strong student. We are pleased to announce her immediate addition to the team this spring."
Mikesky was ranked No. 39 on the PrepVolleyball.com senior class ratings coming out of high school. She was named to the Under Armour Girls High School All-America Second Team and was a four-time all-state volleyball selection at Schulenburg High School.

Epson EH-TW2900 projector
With the birth of Blu-ray comes the re-birth of home cinema projectors, but until now affordable Full HD 1080p models have been very expensive. Leading the charge in the circa-£1000 market comes Epson with its feature-rich TW2900, a no-nonsense projector that tries to take the fear out of huge home cinema.
It does that primarily with a novel lens shift system. Two manual levers sit above the lens - play around with them to create a huge (up to 300-inch) and accurate image on a screen or wall even if the TW2900 itself is placed well off-centre. It makes it possible to consider placing it on a small table or shelf, though its meaty dimensions probably preclude the latter option.
Small projectors can often be hot and noisy, problems that the TW2900 skillfully avoids despite its high brightness (1600 ANSI lumens) that allows it to be used in less-than-blackout conditions.
Image-wise, the TW2900 is a good value performer. Using 3LCD tech, it's fitted with an all-new D7 panel and features a 10-bit Pixelworks video processor alongside a feast of connectivity options. A couple of HDMI inputs seems reasonable at this price, especially since a games console can be hooked-up via its Component video input. Also available on the TW2900's rear are ports for S-Video, Composite video and a D-Sub 15-pin input for a PC. Also back there is a RS-232 port so control of the TW2900 can be built into expensive "one button" home cinema control systems from the likes of Crestron and AMX. You know the kind of thing - press "movie" and the blinds fall, the lights dim and the movie starts playing.
Back in the real world, the TW2900 makes a good stab at Blu-ray, showing more than enough detail and sharpness from Full HD sources to make movies very enjoyable. We've seen other projectors draw out more detail - and produce a more contrast-heavy picture - but not at this low price.
Brighter fare is handled supremely well, and aside from occasional blur and flicker over tiny moving objects, the picture is excellent; colours are rich and close-ups of people realistic. It's all very cinematic, but it could do with a slightly smoother feel.
It's the kind of picture you'd find selling for over £2,000 barely a year ago, though Epson is by no means alone in issuing value-busting Full HD 1080p models.
If the TW2900's price and lack of pure brilliance makes it well suited to the mass market, there is a nod to home cinema nuts with bigger ambitions. Just like the Philips 21:9 LCD TV we've reviewed previously, the TW2900 can be adapted to watch Cinemascope-size movies (also called letterbox or anamorphic 2.35:1) via a special anamorphic wide mode, though for that you will need to buy a third party anamorphic lens. These go for at least a few grand, and if you're prepared to spend that much, it's probably best to go for a higher-end projector, too.
What the TW2900 lacks in perfect contrast and detailing it makes up packaging together simplicity of use with a consistently impressive image that will impress most users.
It's no benchmark beamer, but as a mainstream attempt at bringing Full HD projection into a realistic price bracket, Epson's TW2900 proves an excellent choice.

Some residents might face higher tax bills
Published: Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 12:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 12:51 p.m.
HOUMA Some homeowners in the Mulberry neighborhood may start paying property taxes for recreation activities in Bayou Black.
An estimated 156 lots have avoided being taxed for any recreation district because of a mistake in boundaries when the parish and city of Houma consolidated in the 1980s to form one main governing body.
The lots being considered for annexation into Recreation District No. 9 are between Texas Avenue, Cougar Drive, El Paso Drive and Bayou Black Drive.
Recreation officials had no estimate for how many homes are in the area.
The Terrebonne Parish Council unanimously agreed Tuesday to send the matter to a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. June 10. But that doesnt mean the lots are guaranteed to be taxed.
Recreation District No. 9 in Bayou Black would not begin tax collection on these lots until 2018, when the districts property tax is up for renewal. At that point, voters will decide whether to renew the tax and incorporate the new land.
If voters defeat the renewal, the proposition to include more land in the district fails with it, said Assessor Gene Bonvillain. Changes in district boundaries do not have to go to voters, said Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock.
State law gives parish government the authority to create taxing districts, she said.
Property taxes are collected using a calculation called a mill. The landowners in question would begin paying a 15-mill property tax to the Bayou Black recreation center. This tax would cost the homeowner of a $100,000 house $37.5 on the annual tax bill. For a home valued at $200,000, the annual tax bill would increase by $187.
Like all property in Terrebonne, these 156 lot owners pay a 2.5-mill tax for parishwide recreation programs. But unlike other landowners, the lots in question are not taxed for a specific recreation district.
For instance, in nearby Barrios, homeowners pay a tax to Recreation District No. 11 and the parishwide recreation program.
Lee Hunt, director of the Bayou Black Recreation Center, said he found through records at the parish Assessors Office that the lots are in Ward 9 but outside Recreation District No. 9s boundaries.
Hunt said he has approached previous administrations about the issue but been turned away. He tried to address the issue again last year, he said, but parish government was busy recovering from hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The residents were also notified via fliers on their doors about the possible boundary change last year, when the district was pursuing an increase in its tax from 10 mills to 15 mills, Hunt said. No one responded.
Councilman Clayton Voisin, who represents the recreation district, said it was put on hold after administrators in Parish President Don Schwabs administration decided not to address it.
Previous administrations hadnt concerned themselves of it, Bonvillain said. Now theyre trying to clear it up.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. It's close to the French Quarter, only a couple of blocks from Canal Street. The rooms are very quite, clean and surprising large-we had the double queen room. The breakfast buffet(we tried once because we were leaving on an early morning tour)was good and they have plenty "to-go" items(granola bars, fruit)to take with you. The weird things- lobby is on the 11th floor and elevator card doesn't give you enough time to enter card and press floor. The pool is very small but it has a nice view. The beds were comfortable, but one sagged a little on one side and the pillows were a bit on the hard side for me(but I sleep on a down pillow, so most are hard to me ;-) ). I have never stayed at a Garden Inn before...and I would say that it's not on the same caliber of your average Hilton...but it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination. I would definitely recommend this hotel and for the price it is worth it. Side Note- I found this out when we checked in...we booked with American Express which uses a third party agency(orbitz, priceline, etc.)...when you book with these agencies you are going to be placed in a smoking room most likely(because those are the rooms that do not fill as quickly)...we were originally assigned a smoking room, but when we arrived with a child they automatically changed our room...because they had availability. When you book through Hilton's website your reservation takes priority, so check and make sure that you are getting the best price with those agencies and make sure you strongly request a non-smoking room.

The eye has a better sensor than a camera
The eye has a better sensor than a camera
While the human eye and a camera have similarities, how each sees the world is vastly different, particularly when it comes to dynamic range, the tonal difference between the brightest brights and the darkest darks. Because of this, you should adjust a photograph's tonal range prior to interpreting it into a painting. In this chapter, we'll take a look at how both the camera and the eye portrays the world, and how you can modify a photo to look more like how the eye of the artist sees it, a key attribute towards successful interpretation.
What we're looking at here is a photograph, and what I want to show you here is how a camera is essentially a dumb device, and by that I mean it can only see the world by the way that we instruct it, or how some instructions within the camera tell it to look at the world. The human eye, on the other hand, is constantly adjusting. This is one photograph set at one setting, and this setting was designed to expose for the shadows. So that means th...

Mitchell Wensil has had many close calls and so many times when he should have been killed, but as you know, HaShem had a great purpose for him. First, that he should have a daughter, Hilary, who would be the Rabbi's wife. Second, that at age 89, he would find his Messiah Yeshua. Mitch found shalom and found a congregation that loves him. Mitch, almost 97, looks forward to coming to Temple each week. It is the high point of his week. Let us thank all the veterans in our congregation.
Let us not forget Angel Torres and Kaleb Farley.
To help you guide your children in the ways of the Lord, we offer Shabbat School held during the Message, Bar and Bat Mitzvah prep classes, and more. Learn more about our Children's Ministries.

The ad claims that Blu Diva X T372T lasts 15 talking hours and 1600 hrs standby. Every 3 days, the battery needs re-charging. I use the phone only to talk for maybe an hour during those 3 days. I liked the phone at first. I ordered a second phone for my wife. The battery is supposed to be 1400 mAh, but our phones have 1050 mAh batteries. Do I have to return the phones or will you send replacement batteries?

Queensland legend Mal Meninga is unlikely to replace Ricky Stuart as coach of the Australian Kangaroos. To do so would require Meninga to accept a $100,000 pay cut and relinquish his position as coach of the Queensland Maroons.
Meninga recently negotiated a new deal as head coach with the Queensland Origin side for $120,000, plus up to $20,000 in bonuses, for every year until 2011 - essentially $40,000 per game. It's understood the Kangaroos coaching job in 2008 earned Stuart appproximately $26,000 which included match payments and winning bonuses for this year's Centenary Test and World Cup matches.
The Australian Rugby League has a policy of not appointing state coaches to the Australian role. In responding to the gulf in payments between state and country, ARL board member John McDonald said the Australian coaching position is "a prestige thing."
Other Aussie coaches under consideration include Gold Coast Titans head coach John Cartwright and South Sydney Rabbitohs assistant coach John Lang, although it's understood Lang has already rejected the suggestion.

It is completely possible, however it needs a little bit of PHP coding, but nothing dangerous.
First of all, you will need to create a child theme, this ensures that the customizations we are going to make, will remain if you update the theme or WordPress.
You can find a very detailed instruction how to create a child theme here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes but if you need any help, I am here to help you.
The second step is to open your site with an FTP editor, go to
wp-content/themes/striker/ folder, and copy the
content.php to your child theme's folder (it should be
wp-content/themes/striker-child/). Open the
content.php file in the child theme folder with a code editor, and search for these 2 parts:
On the top part of the file (at me it is at line 13, but yours can be different), find this:
<?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php striker_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
and delete the entry-meta div completely, so it should look like this:
<?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
The second part is about at the end of the file (at me it is from line 30 to 60):
it begins with
<footer class="entry-meta">
and end with
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
Now delete everything inside those two lines, including them, so after the deletion there will be no <footer> part at all.
This should remove the posted by and tags info from every page where are multiple posts listed. If you want to remove these from single posts also, just let me know. Also, if you need any help regarding this, I am here to help you.

I have been staying in this hotel for a long time now. I agree that there are a few things that needs to be changed, I would say this is a good hotel. The staff esp Mitchell, Samir and Veronica(the cleaning lady) do an excellent job. They are very caring, owns responsibilities and above all show commitment to their work. I am satisfied with the overall approach to the customers. Rooms are spacious, most of the cleaners do a fine job and above all, the support staff does a responsible job. On the other hand, their breakfast is not so good. It just fits to the bill of being called a BREAKFAST, a very average one on the optimistic side. Apart from that, it is a decent hotel, a good one for location and the money paid. The staff makes this place a lot more comfortable with their good service. I should say that, and A+ to Mr Mitchell.

Is there an easy markup language for math equations?
I am developing an application for undergrads and I was looking for something less complex than LaTex and easier to write than MathML.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as not constructive by Andy Hayden, Will Jun 10 '13 at 20:01
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Have you looked at ASCIIMathML? It converts the markup to MathML, but seems to be easier on the brain...
For the actual equations themselves, I think tex is simple and clear. Tex gets complicated only when you worry about everything except the equations, such as documents and packages etc. And the quality of tex equations is far better than everything else. So I'd recommend looking at some kind of hybrid approach - use tex markup for the actual equations, but embed them in a simpler environment. You might look at some of the questions relating to converting tex equations directly to pngs.
Look at eqn at http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/troff.html for instance.
The answer will depend critically on what you want. Note that if you roll your own you will have to develop a complete toolkit for authoring, validating, transforming and rendering. You will either have to have a very small language or put in a lot of effort.
If you want typesetting, then use either TeX or presentational MathML as they have well-developed toolkits. If you want semantic math then content MathML is your best bet.
One of the main groups involved with math markup is the Mathematical Knowledge Management community (MKM) and their choice is MathML. I have interacted with them over the years as chemistry and math often are found together.
I'm afraid that the answer is that Math is a complex subject and there are no ultra simple solutions. I believe that MathML is fairly free of unnecessary complexity and represents the best way forward. Moreover it is an excellent indication of the difference beteween presentation and content/semantics.

Tough Interview Questions and Answers
You must surely have more than one weakness?
The meaning behind the question:
I mentioned in an earlier chapter that you should be prepared for the interviewer to ask the follow-up question, "OK. That's one weakness. You must surely have more than one weakness?"
What they're doing with this question is trying to put you under pressure to see how you react. Most people attending an interview will have prepared one stock answer to the question, "What are your weaknesses" – which will cover talking about just one weakness. They're not expecting to have to:
- Think of a second weakness
- Let alone talk about it!
Your answer:
Like many so-called 'tough' questions, this is only really a tough question if you haven't prepared for it. Your answer is easy enough and should be prepared along the same lines as you will already have prepared for the Top. 10 question, "What are your weaknesses?" that we discussed in Chapter 2: The top 10 interview questions. However, you have a lot more leeway to cite an example that really isn't a weakness at all.
I suppose everybody has more than one weakness. If I had to think of another weakness I would say it's that I have a tendency to focus too much on detail. I can go to great lengths to get something just right – and this can of course mean that it takes me somewhat longer to complete than someone who rushes the task. However, I very much believe that if something is worth doing then it is worth doing to the very best of your ability. Also, it's well known that cutting corners can just lead to more work in the long-term; it's counter-productive.
Word of warning:
If you're up against a particularly difficult interviewer then it's always possible they will press you to give yet another example. As always, the secret is to be prepared.

Homeland Security and its cache of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Online rumors about a big government munitions purchase are true, sort of.
The Homeland Security Department wants to buy more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in the next four or five years. It says it needs them — roughly the equivalent of five bullets for every person in the United States — for law enforcement agents in training and on duty.
Published federal notices about the ammo buy have agitated conspiracy theorists since the fall. That's when radio host Alex Jones spoke of an "arms race against the American people" and said the government was "gearing up for total collapse, they're gearing up for huge wars."
The government's explanation is much less sinister.
Federal solicitations to buy the bullets are known as "strategic sourcing contracts," which help the government get a low price for a big purchase, says Peggy Dixon, spokeswoman for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Ga . The training center and others like it run by the Homeland Security Department use as many as 15 million rounds every year, mostly on shooting ranges and in training exercises.
Dixon said one of the contracts would allow Homeland Security to buy up to 750 million rounds of ammunition over the next five years for its training facilities. The rounds are used for basic and advanced law enforcement training for federal law enforcement agencies under the department's umbrella. The facilities also offer firearms training to tens of thousands of federal law enforcement officers. More than 90 federal agencies and 70,000 agents and officers used the department's training center last year.
The rest of the 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition would be purchased by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal government's second largest criminal investigative agency.
ICE's ammunition requests in the last year included:
450 million rounds of .40-caliber duty ammunition
40 million rounds of rifle ammunition a year for as many as five years, for a total bullet-buy of 200 million rounds
176,000 rifle rounds on a separate contract
25,000 blank rounds
The Homeland Security ammo buy is not the first time the government's bullets purchases have sparked concerns on the Internet. The same thing happened last year when the Social Security Administration posted a notice that it was buying 174,000 hollow point bullets.
Jonathan L. Lasher, the agency's assistant inspector general for external relations, said those bullets were for the Social Security inspector general's office, which has about 295 agents who investigate Social Security fraud and other crimes.
Jones the talk-show host did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

This paper formulates a new approach for improvement of air traffic flow management at airports, which leads to more efficient utilization of existing airport capacity to alleviate the consequences of congestion. A new model is presented, which first considers the runways and arrival and departure fixes jointly as a single system resource, and second considers arrivals and departures simultaneously as two interdependent processes. The model takes into account the interaction between runway capacity and capacities of fixes to optimize the traffic flow through the airport system. The effects are achieved by dynamic time-dependent allocation of airport capacity and flows between arrivals and departures coordinated with the operational constraints at runways and arrival and departure fixes as well as with dynamics of traffic demand and weather. Numerical examples illustrate the potential benefits of the approach

Digital Microfluidic High-Throughput Printing of Single Metal-Organic Framework Crystals
The first microfluidic method for accurately depositing monodisperse single MOF crystals is presented, enabling unprecedented high-throughput, yet flexible single-crystal printing. Individual droplets of MOF precursor solutions are actuated over a matrix of hydrophilic-in-hydrophobic micropatterns for the controlled generation of femtoliter droplets. As such, thousands of monodisperse single MOF crystals are printed per second in a desired pattern, without the use of impractically expensive equipment.
