Tank and vehicle balancing in coming Walker update
We have pulled performance stats for all vehicles and looked at how they perform in game and we've been digging through our forums and the Steam discussions to gather as much community feedback as possible, and now we've rolled this into a great big balancing pass for armored vehicles (and AA cannons).
The next update is called 'Walker' after the American Major General Fred L. Walker, and here these tweaks, fixes, etc. will show up. Keep reading for more details on what is being improved.
Timoshenko Update: Tank Destroyer, Medium & Heavy Tank Overview
With all the new Soviet equipment being presented you might sometimes lose track of what it is you can expect to see, so here is an overview of the Tank Destroyer and the medium and heavy tanks you can expect to either face or drive in the upcoming update!
Timoshenko Update: Light Tank Overview
The T-whatchamacallit, model year which-one? With so many awesome new tanks about to appear in the game it can be a bit difficult to tell them a part and remember their names, so to help out we've made this overview of the Soviet light tanks.
Timoshenko Update: Soviet light tank T-26
Ahead of the advancing Red Army, various recon and scout units can be spotted. The light armor and recon units use a number of different weapon and vehicles and one of their finest pieces of equipment is the T-26.
T-26 Model 1933
The T-26 is one of the most successful Soviet light tanks and is deployed on all the Soviet fronts. It is a further development of the British Vickers Mk. E. It is armed with a 45mm cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun.
Guest Video: K120's "Tanks Overview"
Long time community member K120 has made a great little video showing off the tanks available in the game.
So put your tanker helmet on, hold an oily rag under your nose (not TOO close :-) ) and press play!
(remember to turn up, the volume and hit both the HD and full-screen buttons)

Lady Warriors roll Bethel Christian
Published: Friday, October 12, 2007 at 9:23 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 12, 2007 at 9:23 a.m.
HOUMA Maybe the Houma Christian Lady Warriors made it look easy, or maybe the Bethel Christian Lady Eagles just made it look difficult.
The Lady Warriors hardly broke a sweat while cruising to a three-game sweep of Bethel Christian on Thursday, winning by scores of 25-12, 25-7, 25-14.
Bethel didnt take its first and only leads until early in the final game. When they did, it was short-lived and due to miscues on the Lady Warriors part.
In fact, most of what little went right for Bethel came as the result of generous donations from the home team. But not even Houma Christians mistakes, scarce as they were, were enough to keep things overly close between the two teams.
We knew coming in that this was going to be a really easy game for us, Lady Warriors coach Chuck Battaglia said. Were right in the middle of district (play) and were coming off two really big wins in the last couple of games. Next week, we have some big ones (matches) coming up.
It all starts with Northside Christian, who travels to Houma for a key District 1-V game Tuesday.
The Lady Warriors fell to Northside earlier in district play, losing in five games in Crowley.
Thursdays match-up with the Lady Eagles may have been a cakewalk, but Battaglia said it was important that the Lady Warriors avoid a letdown against a younger, less experienced team made up of eighth- and ninth-grades.
We knew we had to stay on top of them. Its almost tough coming into a game that you know is going to be a fairly easy one for you, Battaglia said. We had some kids playing some positions they dont normally play in case a situation comes up later. (Thus) you have some kind of experience out of position.
Bethel looked uninspired and lost from the beginning.
Houma Christian went on two runs of 9-0 or better in the second period, including an 11-0 streak that saw them jump out to a commanding 20-2 lead.
Houma is a heck of a team, said Lady Eagles coach Jimmy Foster.
In the opening stages of the third game, the two teams seemed more evenly matched for a short while. The Lady Eagles took their first lead of the afternoon, if only at 3-2, before Houma Christian reverted back to basics and went on a 7-0 run to go ahead 12-6.
We did much better in the third game, Foster said. I think our teams gets some confidence as the games go on.
Confidence wasnt enough, though. Leading 24-14 on the match point, Monica Parfaits kill landed just inside the line to give the Lady Warriors the winning point and the sweep.
Parfait finished with four kills and six aces. Tori Cloutier finished with five kills and six aces for the Lady Warriors, and Kelly Todd had seven kills to go with nine assists.

The acquired data revealed a closed pan-genome for this bifidobacterial species and furthermore facilitated the definition of the B. longum core genome. The comparative analysis also highlights differences in the potential metabolic abilities of all three sub-species. Interestingly, phylogenetic analysis of the B. longum core genome indicated the existence of a novel B. longum subspecies. Characterisation of restriction-modification systems from two B. longum subsp. longum strains is described in Chapter 3. These defence mechanisms limit the uptake of genetic material, which was successfully demonstrated for some of the identified systems. When these systems were by-passed by methylation of DNA prior to the transformation procedure, the resulting transformation efficiency of both B. longum subsp. longum strains was increased to a level that allowed for the generation of mutants via homologous recombination. Arabinoxylan metabolism by B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 was investigated in Chapter 4 of this thesis. Transcriptome analysis allowed the identification of a number of genes involved in the degradation, uptake and utilisation of arabinoxylan. Biochemical analysis revealed that three of the identified genes encode arabinofuranosidase activity. Phenotypic assessment of a number of insertion mutants in genes identified by the transcriptome analysis revealed the essential role of two of these enzymes in arabinoxylan metabolism, and a third enzyme in the metabolism of debranched arabinan. Furthermore, this investigation revealed that B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 does not completely degrade arabinoxylan, but utilises the arabinose substitutions only, while leaving the xylan backbone untouched.Finally, Chapter 5 outlines that B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 is capable of removing ferulic and p-coumaric acid substitutions that originate from arabinoxylan. Analysis of the genome sequence led to the identification of a candidate gene for this activity, which was subsequently cloned and expressed in E. coli. Biochemical analysis revealed that the enzyme, designated here as FaeA, is indeed capable of releasing both ferulic and p-coumaric acid from arabinoxylan. Furthermore, it is shown that a derivative of B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 carrying an insertion mutation in faeA had lost the ability to release ferulic and p-coumaric acid from arabinoxylan, and that growth of this mutant strain is negatively affected when cultivated on growth-limiting levels of arabinoxylan. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Evaluation of the role of the ISG15 pathway in autophagy, apoptosis and chemosensitivity of oesophageal cancer http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2706 Evaluation of the role of the ISG15 pathway in autophagy, apoptosis and chemosensitivity of oesophageal cancer Falvey, Chloe Mary Oesophageal cancer is one of the most poor prognosis cancers worldwide, with a European 5-year survival rate of less than 15%. Furthermore, it is increasing in incidence and is now the 8 th most common cancer in the developed world. Advances in surgical techniques have improved patient outcome in recent years but frequent drug resistance remains a major obstacle. We evaluated differential gene expression between drug sensitive (OE21, OE33) and drug resistant (KYSE450, OE19) cell lines. Members of the ISG15 conjugation pathway (ISG15, UBE2L6, USP18 etc) were found to be upregulated in the cell lines which are apoptosis competent and respond well to chemotherapy. In contrast, they were downregulated in the relatively resistant, apoptosis incompetent cell lines. A role has not previously been described for this pathway in the response of oesophageal cancer cells to chemotherapy. ISG15 can function intracellularly as a ubiquitin-like modifier but can also be released extracellularly to exhibit cytokine-like functions. In this study, we show that treatment of KYSE450 cells with OE21 conditioned media increased their sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Free, extracellular ISG15 could not reproduce the observed effects, indicating that release of ISG15 by OE21 cells is not responsible. Interestingly, the sensitising effect of conditioned media was lost when ISG15 was silenced in OE21 cells. These data suggest that conjugation of a soluble substrate(s) by ISG15 modifies the oesophageal secretome such that it becomes antitumourigenic. UBE2L6 was the most (17-fold) differentially expressed gene and a key enzyme for conjugation of ISG15 to target proteins. In the present study, we showed that silencing of UBE2L6 by siRNA in OE21 cells significantly enhanced their response to chemotherapy. This effect was associated with increased apoptosis. This was not replicated by ISG15 siRNA, suggesting that the apoptosis-promoting effect of UBE2L6 silencing may be independent of the ISG15 pathway. We also demonstrated that UBE2L6 silencing could significantly induce autophagy. Interestingly, the autophagy-inducing effects of UBE2L6 siRNA were consistent with ISG15 siRNA. These data suggest that normal UBE2L6 expression negatively regulates autophagy in an ISG15-dependent mechanism. We then evaluated whether reactivation of ISG15 conjugation in KYSE450 cells could improve their sensitivity. We found that overexpression of UBE2L6 improved drug response and activated apoptosis in these previously apoptosis incompetent cells lines. Furthermore, ISG15 conjugation was re-established in these cells by stimulating pathway expression with Interferon-α and silencing USP18 (the negative regulator of ISG15 conjugation). In the absence of chemotherapy, this treatment alone activated high levels of caspase-3 and a mix of non-apoptotic and apoptotic cell deaths. This was a significant improvement on 5-FU treatment, with significantly less colony regrowth observed in clonogenic assays. The combination of USP18 silencing with Interferon-α and 5-FU further decreased recovery, by potentiating cell death. Importantly, there was no negative effect of this treatment in cells which are already drug sensitive. Here, we have characterised UBE2L6 as a dual negative regulator of apoptosis and autophagy in oesophageal cancer. We have also identified ISGylation as an important regulator of cell death and an attractive new drug target for oesophageal cancer. It is our hope, that inhibition of USP18 may become part of an improved therapeutic regime for the treatment of oesophageal cancer in the future. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Evaporation maps for ternary non-ideal liquid mixtures http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2239 Evaporation maps for ternary non-ideal liquid mixtures Dillon, Paul This thesis deals with the evaporation of non-ideal liquid mixtures using a multicomponent mass transfer approach. It develops the concept of evaporation maps as a convenient way of representing the dynamic composition changes of ternary mixtures during an evaporation process. Evaporation maps represent the residual composition of evaporating ternary non-ideal mixtures over the full range of composition, and are analogous to the commonly-used residue curve maps of simple distillation processes. The evaporation process initially considered in this work involves gas-phase limited evaporation from a liquid or wetted-solid surface, over which a gas flows at known conditions. Evaporation may occur into a pure inert gas, or into one pre-loaded with a known fraction of one of the ternary components. To explore multicomponent masstransfer effects, a model is developed that uses an exact solution to the Maxwell-Stefan equations for mass transfer in the gas film, with a lumped approach applied to the liquid phase. Solutions to the evaporation model take the form of trajectories in temperaturecomposition space, which are then projected onto a ternary diagram to form the map. Novel algorithms are developed for computation of pseudo-azeotropes in the evaporating mixture, and for calculation of the multicomponent wet-bulb temperature at a given liquid composition. A numerical continuation method is used to track the bifurcations which occur in the evaporation maps, where the composition of one component of the pre-loaded gas is the bifurcation parameter. The bifurcation diagrams can in principle be used to determine the required gas composition to produce a specific terminal composition in the liquid. A simple homotopy method is developed to track the locations of the various possible pseudo-azeotropes in the mixture. The stability of pseudo-azeotropes in the gas-phase limited case is examined using a linearized analysis of the governing equations. Algorithms for the calculation of separation boundaries in the evaporation maps are developed using an optimization-based method, as well as a method employing eigenvectors derived from the linearized analysis. The flexure of the wet-bulb temperature surface is explored, and it is shown how evaporation trajectories cross ridges and valleys, so that ridges and valleys of the surface do not coincide with separation boundaries. Finally, the assumption of gas-phase limited mass transfer is relaxed, by employing a model that includes diffusion in the liquid phase. A finite-volume method is used to solve the system of partial differential equations that results. The evaporation trajectories for the distributed model reduce to those of the lumped (gas-phase limited) model as the diffusivity in the liquid increases; under the same gas-phase conditions the permissible terminal compositions of the distributed and lumped models are the same. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response in the edible sea urchin, paracentrotus lividus http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2542 Immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response in the edible sea urchin, paracentrotus lividus Cipriano-Maack, Ashley N. Aquaculture is a fast-growing industry contributing to global food security and sustainable aquaculture, which may reduce pressures on capture fisheries. The overall objective of this thesis was to look at the immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response of the edible sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus, which are a prized delicacy (roe) in many Asian and Mediterranean countries. In Chapter 1, the importance of understanding the biology, ecology, and physiology of P. lividus, as well as the current status in the culture of this organism for mass production and introducing the thesis objectives for following chapters is discussed. As the research commenced, the difficulties of identifying individuals for repeat sampling became clear; therefore, Chapter 2 was a tagging experiment that indicated PIT tagging was a successful way of identifying individual sea urchins over time with a high tag retention rate. However, it was also found that repeat sampling via syringe to measure host response of an individual caused stress which masked results and thus animals would be sampled and sacrificed going forward. Additionally, from personal observations and discussion with peers, it was suggested to look at the effect that diet has on sea urchin immune function and the parameters I measured which led to Chapter 3. In this chapter, both Laminaria digitata and Mytilus edulis were shown to influence measured immune parameters of differential cell counts, nitric oxide production, and lysozyme activity. Therefore, trials commencing after Trial 5 in Chapter 4, were modified to include starvation in order to remove any effect of diet. Another important aspect of culturing any organism is the study of their immune function and its response to several immunostimulatory agents (Chapter 4). Zymosan A was shown to be an effective immunostimulatory agent in P. lividus. Further work on handled/stored animals (Chapter 5) showed Zymosan A reduced the measured levels of some immune parameters measured relative to the control, which may reduce the amount of stress in the animals. In Chapter 6, animals were infected with Vibrio anguillarum and, although V. anguillarum, impacted immune parameters of P. lividus, it did not cause mortality as predicted. Lastly, throughout this thesis work, it was noted that the immune parameters measured produced different values at different times of the year (Chapter 7); therefore, using collated baseline (control) data, results were compiled to observe seasonal effects. It was determined that both seasonality and sourcing sites influenced immune parameter measurements taken at different times throughout the year. In conclusion, this thesis work fits into the framework of development of aquaculture practices that affect immune function of the host and future research focusing on the edible sea urchin, P. lividus. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

"For some days police authorities and Treasury officials have been endeavoring to persuade the so-called bonus marchers to evacuate certain buildings which they were occupying without permission. These buildings are on sites where Government construction is in progress and their demolition was necessary in order to extend employment in the District and to carry forward the Government's construction program.
"This morning the occupants of these buildings were notified to evacuate and at the request of the police did evacuate the buildings concerned.

The Gay Talese Reader: Portraits and Encountersby Gay Talese
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
As a young reporter for The New York Times, in 1961 Gay Talese published his first book, New York-A Serendipiters Journey, a series of vignettes and essays that began, "New York is a city of things unnoticed. It is a city with cats sleeping under parked cars, two stone armadillos crawling up St. Patricks Cathedral, and thousands of ants creeping on top of the Empire State Building."
Attention to detail and observation of the unnoticed is the hallmark of Gay Taleses writing, and The Gay Talese Reader brings together the best of his essays and classic profiles. This collection opens with "New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed," and includes "Silent Season of a Hero" (about Joe DiMaggio), "Ali in Havana," and "Looking for Hemingway" as well as several other favorite pieces. It also features a previously unpublished article on the infamous case of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt, and concludes with the autobiographical pieces that are among Taleses finest writings. These works give insight into the progression of a writer at the pinnacle of his craft.
Whether he is detailing the unseen and sometimes quirky world of New York City or profiling Ol Blue Eyes in "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold," Talese captures his subjects-be they famous, infamous, or merely unusual-in his own inimitable, elegant fashion. The essays and profiles collected in The Gay Talese Reader are works of art, each carefully crafted to create a portrait of an unforgettable individual, place or moment.

Chapter One
New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed
New York is a city of things unnoticed. It is a city with cats sleeping under parked cars, two stone armadillos crawling up St. Patrick's Cathedral, and thousands of ants creeping on top of the Empire State Building. The ants probably were carried up there by wind or birds, but nobody is sure; nobody in New York knows any more about the ants than they do about the panhandler who takes taxis to the Bowery; or the dapper man who picks trash out of Sixth Avenue trash cans; or the medium in the West Seventies who claims, "l am clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsensuous."
New York is a city for eccentrics and a center for odd bits of information. New Yorkers blink twenty-eight times a minute, but forty when tense. Most popcorn chewers at Yankee Stadium stop chewing momentarily just before the pitch. Gum chewers on Macy's escalators stop chewing momentarily just before they get off-to concentrate on the last step. Coins, paper clips, ballpoint pens, and little girls' pocketbooks are found by workmen when they clean the sea lions' pool at the Bronx Zoo.
Each day New Yorkers guzzle 460,000 gallons of beer, swallow 3,500,000 pounds of meat, and pull 21 miles of dental floss through their teeth. Every day inNew York about 250 people die, 460 are born, and 150,000 walk through the city wearing eyes of glass or plastic.
A Park Avenue doorman has parts of three bullets in his head-there since World War I. Several young gypsy daughters, influenced by television and literacy, are running away from home because they do not want to grow up and become fortune-tellers. Each month 100 pounds of hair are delivered to Louis Feder at 545 Fifth Avenue, where blonde hairpieces are made from German women's hair; brunette hairpieces from French and Italian women's hair; but no hairpieces from American women's hair, which, says Mr. Feder, is weak from too-frequent rinses and permanents.
Some of New York's best-informed men are elevator operators, who rarely talk but always listen-like doormen. Sardi's doorman listens to the comments made by Broadway's first-nighters walking by after the last act. He listens closely. He listens carefully. Within ten minutes of the curtain's fall he can tell you which shows will flop and which will be hits.
On Broadway in the evening, a big, dark 1948 Rolls-Royce pulls in-and out hops a little lady armed with a Bible and a sign reading "The Damned Shall Perish." She proceeds to stand on the corner screaming at the multitudes of Broadway sinners sometimes until 3 A.M., when the chauffeur-driven Rolls picks her up and drives her back to Westchester.
by this time Fifth Avenue is deserted by all but a few strolling insomniacs, some cruising cabdrivers, and a group of sophisticated females who stand in store windows all night and day wearing cold, perfect smiles-smiles formed by lips of clay, eyes of glass, and cheeks that will glow until the paint wears off. Like sentries, they line Fifth Avenue-these window mannequins who gaze onto the quiet street with tilted heads and pointed toes and long, rubber fingers reaching for cigarettes that aren't there. At 4 A.M., some store windows become a strange fairyland of gangling goddesses, all of them frozen in the act of dashing to a party, diving into a swimming pool, or sashaying skyward in a billowy blue negligee.
While this wild illusion is partly due to the runaway imagination, it is also partly due to the incredible skill of mannequin makers, who have endowed mannequins with certain individual characteristics-the theory being that no two females, not even plastic or plaster females, are quite alike. As a result, the mannequins at Peck & Peck are made to look young and prim, while at Lord & Taylor they seem wiser and windblown. At Saks they are demure but mature, while at Bergdorfs they look agelessly elegant and quietly rich. The profiles of Fifth Avenue's mannequins have been fashioned after some of the world's most alluring women-women like Suzy Parker, who posed for the Best & Co. mannequins, and Brigitte Bardot, who inspired some mannequins at Saks. The preoccupation with making mannequins almost human, and equipping them with curves, is perhaps responsible for the rather strange fascination so many New Yorkers have for these synthetic virgins. This is why some window decorators frequently talk to mannequins and give them pet names, and why naked mannequins in windows inevitably attract men, disgust women, and are banned in New York City. This is why some mannequins are attacked by perverts, and why the svelte mannequin in a White Plains shop was discovered in the basement not long ago with her clothes tom off, her makeup smeared, and her body possessing evidence of attempted rape. The police laid a trap one night and caught the attacker-a shy little man: the porter.
When street traffic dwindles and most people are sleeping, some New York neighborhoods begin to crawl with cats. They move quickly through the shadows of buildings; night watchmen, policemen, garbage collectors, and other nocturnal wanderers see them-but never for very long. A majority of them hang around the fish markets, in Greenwich Village, and in the East and West Side neighborhoods where garbage cans abound. No part of the city is without its strays, however, and all-night garage attendants in such busy neighborhoods as Fifty-fourth Street have counted as many as twenty of them around the Ziegfeld Theatre early in the morning. Troops of cats patrol the waterfront piers at night searching for rats. Subway trackwalkers have discovered cats living in the darkness. They seem never to get hit by trains, though some are occasionally liquidated by the third rail. About twenty-five cats live seventy-five feet below the west end of Grand Central Terminal, are fed by the underground workers, and never wander up into the daylight.
The roving, independent, self-laundering cats of the streets live a life strangely different from New York's kept, apartment-house cats. Most are flea-bitten. Many die of food poisoning, exposure, and malnutrition; their average life span is two years, whereas the stay-at-home cats live ten to twelve years or more. Each year the ASPCA kills about 100,000 New York street cats for whom no homes can be found.
Social climbing among the stray cats of Gotham is not common. They rarely acquire a better mailing address out of choice. They usually die within the blocks of their birth, although one flea-bitten specimen picked up by the ASPCA was adopted by a wealthy woman; it now lives in a luxurious East Side apartment and spends the summer at the lady's estate on Long Island. The American Feline Society once moved two strays into the headquarters of the United Nations after having heard that some rodents had infested UN filing cabinets. "The cats took care of 'em," says Robert Lothar Kendell, society president. "And they seemed happy at the UN. One of the cats used to sleep on a Chinese dictionary."
In every New York neighborhood the strays are dominated by a "boss"-the largest, strongest tomcat. But, except for the boss, there is not much organization in the street cat's society. Within the society, however, there are three "types" of cats-wild cats, Bohemians, and part-time grocery store (or restaurant) cats.
The wild cats rely on an occasional loose garbage lid or on rats for food and will have little or nothing to do with people-even those who would feed them. These most unkempt of strays have a recognizable haunted look, a wide-eyed, wild expression, and they usually are found around the waterfront.
The Bohemian, however, is more tractable. It does not run from people. Often, it is fed in the streets daily by sensitive cat lovers (mostly women) who call the strays "little people," "angels," or "darlings" and are indignant when the objects of their charity are referred to as "alley cats." So punctual are most Bohemians at feeding time that one cat lover has advanced the theory that cats can tell time. He cited a gray tabby that appears five days a week, precisely at 5:30 P.M., in an office building at Broadway and Seventeenth Street, where the elevator men feed it. But the cat never shows up on Saturday or Sundays; it seems to know people don't work on those days.
The part-time grocery store (or restaurant) cat, often a reformed Bohemian, eats well and keeps rodents away, but it usually uses the store as a hotel and prefers to spend the nights prowling in the streets. Despite its liberal working schedule, it still assumes most of the privileges of a related breed-the full-time, or wholly nonstray, grocery store cat-including the right to sleep in the window. A reformed Bohemian at a Bleecker Street delicatessen hides behind the door and chases away all other Bohemians looking for handouts.
The number of full-time cats, incidentally, has diminished greatly since the decline of the small food store and the rise of supermarkets in New York. With better rat-proofing methods, improved packaging of foods, and more sanitary conditions, such chain stores as the A&P rarely keep a cat full-time.
On the waterfront, however, the great need for cats remains unchanged. Once a longshoreman who was allergic to cats poisoned them. Within a day rats were all over the place. Every time the men turned around, they would find rats on crates. And on Pier 95 the rats began stealing the longshoremen's lunch and even attacking the men. So the street cats were recruited from nearby neighbors, and now most of the rats are controlled.
"But cats don't get much sleep around here," said one longshoreman.
"They can't. Rats would overrun them. We've had cases here where the rat has torn up the cat. But it doesn't happen often. Most waterfront cats are mean bastards."
At 5 A.M. Manhattan is a town of tired trumpet players and homeward-bound bartenders. Pigeons control Park Avenue and strut unchallenged in the middle of the street. This is Manhattan's mellowest hour. Most night people are out of sight-but the day people have not yet appeared. Truck drivers and cabs are alert, yet they do not disturb the mood. They do not disturb the abandoned Rockefeller Center, or the motionless night watchmen in the Fulton Fish market, or the gas-station attendant sleeping next to Sloppy Louie's with the radio on.
At 5 A.M. the Broadway regulars have gone home or to all-night coffee shops where, under the glaring light, you see their whiskers and wear. And on Fifty-first Street a radio press car is parked at the curb with a photographer who has nothing to do. So he just sits there for a few nights, looks through the windshield, and soon becomes a keen observer of life after midnight.
"At 1 A.M.," he says, "Broadway is filled with wise guys and with kids coming out of the Astor Hotel in white dinner jackets-kids who drive to dances in their fathers' cars. You also see cleaning ladies going home, always wearing kerchiefs. By 2 A.M., some of the drinkers are getting out of hand, and this is the hour for bar fights. At 3 A.M. the last show is over in the night clubs, and most of the tourists and out-of-town buyers are back in hotels. At 4 A.M., after the bars close, you see the drunks come out-and also the pimps and prostitutes who take advantage of drunks. At 5 A.M., though, it is mostly quiet. New York is an entirely different city at 5 A.M."
At 6 A.M. the early workers begin to push up from the subways. The traffic begins to move down Broadway like a river. And Mrs. Mary Woody jumps out of bed, dashes to her office, and phones dozens of sleepy New Yorkers to say in a cheerful voice, rarely appreciated: "Good morning. Time to get up." For twenty years, as an operator of Western Union's Wake-Up Service, Mrs. Woody has gotten millions out of bed.
At 7 A.M. a floridly robust little man, looking very Parisian in a blue beret and turtleneck sweater, moves in a hurried step along Park Avenue visiting his wealthy lady friends-making certain that each is given a brisk, before-breakfast rubdown. The uniformed doormen greet him warmly and call him either "Biz" or "Mac" because he is Biz Mackey, a ladies' masseur extraordinaire.
Mr. Mackey is spry and straight-spined, and always carries a black leather grip containing liniments, creams, and the towels of his trade. Up the elevator he goes; then, half an hour later, he is down again, and off to another lady-an opera singer, a movie actress, a lady police lieutenant.
Biz Mackey, a former featherweight prizefighter, started rubbing women the right way in Paris, in the twenties. He had lost a fight during a European tour and decided he'd had enough. A friend suggested he go to a school for masseurs, and six-months later he had his first customer-Claire Luce, the actress then starring in the Folies-Bergére. She liked him, and sent him more clients-Pearl White, Mary Pickford, and a beefy Wagnerian soprano. It took World War II to get Biz out of Paris.
When he returned to Manhattan, his European clientele continued to patronize him when they visited here, and though he is now pushing seventy, he is still going strong. Biz handles about seven women a day. His muscular fingers and thick arms have a miraculously soothing touch. He is discreet, and that is why New York ladies prefer him. He visits each of them in her apartment and has special keys to the bedrooms; he is often the first man they see in the morning, and they lie in bed waiting for him. He never reveals the names of his customers, but most of them are middle-aged and rich.
"Women don't want other women to know their business," Biz explains. "You know women," he adds, offhandedly, leaving no doubt that he does.
The doormen that Biz passes each morning are generally an obliging, endlessly articulate group of sidewalk diplomats who list among their friends some of Manhattan's most powerful men, most beautiful women, and snootiest poodles. More often than not the doormen are big, slightly Gothic in design, and possessors of eyes sharp enough to spot big tippers a block away in the year's thickest fog.
Some East Side doormen are as proud as grandees, and their uniforms, heavily festooned, seem to have come from the same tailor who outfitted Marshal Tito. Most hotel doormen are superb at small talk, big talk and back talk, at remembering names and appraising luggage leather. (They size up a guest's wealth by the luggage he has, not by the clothes he wears.)
In Manhattan today there are 650 apartment-house doormen, 325 hotel doormen (14 at the Waldorf-Astoria), and an unknown, but formidable, number of restaurant and theater doormen, nightclub doormen, barking doormen, and doorless doormen.
Doorless doormen, who are nonunion vagabonds, usually without uniforms (but with rented hats), pussyfoot about town opening car doors when traffic is thick-on nights of the opera, concerts, championship fights, and conventions.

Blake Gets the Fire Started
Blake Shelton is set to release his fifth album, Startin' Fires, featuring the hit single "She Wouldn't Be Gone," Tuesday, Nov. 18.
The title comes from one of the cuts on the album, "Good at Starting Fires." "It actually reminded me of a 2008 version of 'Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On,' the old Mel McDaniel song," says Blake. "I just thought it was a throwback to the music I grew up on." Another tune, "Bare Skin Rug," was written by Blake and girlfriend Miranda Lambert. The song was written while they were hanging out around a fire pit at Blake's house in Oklahoma and recorded around a campfire. Miranda also lends her vocals to the song.

Put it in the wall plug and leave it charging overnight.
Then try following:
1) Press and hold power button for 30 seconds.
2) Press and hold power button and 'n' button for 30 seconds. Make sur eit's 30 seconds.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to go into a store and see if they know some other way.

Tornados rally past Chowan to move to 3-0
Published: Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 6:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 6:35 p.m.
BREVARD Neville Bryce rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns in leading the Brevard College Tornados football team to a 27-24 victory over visiting Chowan Universitys Hawks on Saturday. The game was played in Brevard Memorial Stadium on the campus of Brevard High School.
Photo Galleries
Bryce got the scoring started with an 11 yard run that capped 12-play, 62 yard drive. There was 5:03 showing on the clock when Bryce crossed into paydirt. Chase Henrys extra point kick made it 7-0, Brevard.
Chowan came right back with a touchdown of its own as quarterback C.J. Westler tossed a 14-yard pass to Cory Cline with 1:31 left in the first quarter. Cline, however, missed the extra point kick, leaving the score 7-6, BC.
The visitors took the lead in the second quarter as Cline booted a 22-yard field goal at the 7:04 mark of the second period for a 9-7 lead.
Bryce added his second TD with 1:31 left in the first half and Henrys perfect placement shot the Tornados back into the lead 14-9.
The Hawks took a 17-14 lead into halftime after Westler tossed a 29 yard completion for six points to Kevin Hodrick and Kjuan Hollman ran in a 2-point conversion.
In the second half, BC quarterback Michael Crumbaker scored on a 38-yard run and Justin Fleming raced 74 yards for the clinching score. Henry added both extra points
Chowan scored once more before the end of the game. Holland took a 16-yard pass from Westler for the score with 9:49 left to play.
The Brevard defense, led by 16 tackles from former Spartanburg High standout Stanley Jones, rose up to stop the Hawks the rest of the way.
With the win BC moves to 3-0 on the season, while Chowan falls to 0-3. The three victories equals Brevard's win total over the past two seasons.
The Tornados will look for win No. 4 when they host Southern Virginia (0-2) next Saturday.

I can't find the keyboard shortcut for this on the mac. It's F2 on a windows machine.
Office for Windows: F2
The problem is that the shortcut has been changed for earlier versions of excel.
I believe F2 still works, its just that on macs now, to get F2, you need to press fn+F2, otherwise it does the alternative function, which in my mac is to brighten the screen.
Excel for Mac 2016: F2
The most recent version of Office for Mac (2016) changed a number of keyboard shortcuts to create greater similarity across Windows and Mac versions of the software. Ctrl + U appears to no longer work as a shortcut key for editing cells in Excel 2016 for Mac. Instead the F2 key must be used. Depending on the keyboard settings on your particular Mac, to trigger F2 (instead of increasing screen brightness), you may have to hold down the "function" key (fn) while also hitting F2. To modify this behavior, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and check or uncheck "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."
Here is the complete list: Shortcuts

Police ID drug suspectJuly 17,2013Police have identified a man they say refused to provide his real name following a drug bust in Clarendon.
Johnathan Gonzalez, 22, from Brooklyn, N.Y., had been identified in court records as "John Doe" at his arraignment on heroin possession chargesMonday in Rutland criminal court.
Police issued a press release earlier Tuesday morning providing the suspect's real name. The release does not state how police obtained the information. Police said Gonzalez previously identified himself as Jose Munez, 15, and Jose Morales, 16, both of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Gonzalez was one of four suspects arrested in a heroin bust Sunday in Clarendon. Two other suspects were also arraigned Monday and a third has been released on a citation to appear in court at a later date.

By Amber Avalona-Butler/ParaglideAugust 27, 2010
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - 'Band of brothers' is a term we've come to understand and connect with the Army. That same sense of brotherhood and sisterhood is the glue that bonds survivors of fallen Soldiers within the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. On Saturday, nearly 250 survivors within the Fort Bragg community, spouses, parents, siblings and children, converged on the grounds of the Pinehurst Golf Resort for a weekend of remembrance.
"People think this is just about the grief and that we're coming together because someone died. Far more than that, we're coming together because someone extraordinary lived an amazing life that included service in defense of freedom," said Bonnie Carroll, founder and chairman of TAPS, a nonprofit veterans service organization serving military Families.
"So we get to come here and share our stories and learn how to cope with a tremendous hole in our hearts and to find that support," added Carroll.
Regional seminars help Families deal with death in a variety of forms - combat, noncombat, illness, training accidents, suicide and other unexpected tragedies. While adults attended seminars and breakout sessions, which included peer mentor training (equipping survivors to help other military Families), the children participated in Good Grief Camp.
Carroll's vision for the Good Grief Camp includes a solid support system with other military kids and adult counselors trained to handle child trauma and loss, most notably the death of a parent in uniform.
"They have a wonderful combination of activities and sessions aimed at giving (kids) coping strategies to use when they get back home," said Carroll.
The TAPS mission attracted volunteers from other service organizations as well. Brynn Vollmer, community affairs manager for the Southeast region of Families United and an active-duty spouse, said, "It's really important that someone is there for Families. Personally, I would want someone to be there for me if, God forbid, that were to ever happen.
"They get to grieve in a way they can't outside of this community," added Vollmer, who handed out TAPS shirts, name tags, goody bags and buttons stamped with photographs of each participant's deceased Soldier.
Carroll, who created TAPS 17 years ago, understands how journeying past the death of a Soldier is often a long and difficult process. Carroll's husband, Brig. Gen. Tom Carroll, died in an airplane crash during the first Gulf War, and now she mentors more than 30,000 surviving Family members of deceased military heroes through TAPS. In Carroll's words, the organization provides peer-based emotional support, grief and trauma resources, seminars, casework assistance and 24/7 crisis intervention for Family is in every military branch.
According to Carroll, "I just had a mom come up to me and say that TAPS saved her life. She was just with us in Indianapolis and now she's here in Pinehurst. This is her safe place to be ... to heal."
For more information on TAPS, including seminars and volunteer opportunities, visit www.taps.org.

Hi, I'm looking for help fixing a template page I'm creating.
I took the full width page template and took the footer off, no problem... now I want remove the logo & nag from the template page but when I remove the header I need the css styles and that doesn't work so I thought maybe a conditional code would work just for the pages.
Long story short I code the team pages (10 pages in all) for iframe pop ups and want to put them in this template page so when they open it's a black background with just the content no logo, nag, sidebar, or footer. I'm almost there but need help removing the logo and nav.
Any ideas?
Here is the page... it's using full width page template right now.

I'm assuming that squid keeps a list of internal ip:port that a request is made on and the matching external ip:port that the request is fulfilled with.
In the case of a long transfer, such as a file download, it would be nice to be able to see which internal ip:port is downloading the file.
I am able to see the traffic and get the external ip:port that squid is using easily with tcpdump or iptraf but I can't find a way to map this back to an internal ip:port.

Beware of Unofficial MobileSubstrate Patches!
Saurik has warned the iOS 7 users and jailbreakers not to install the unofficial MobileSubstrate patches that begin to appear on the Internet. The reason for such warning is quite simple - MobileSubstrate hasn't yet been updated to work with Apple's new operating system and that can lead to serious consequences.
New Cydia Design for iOS 7 [Photos, Video]
Cydia has received a major redesign and improved compatibility for iOS 7.
The update comes via a new Cydia Installer package available today from the Changes tab in Cydia.
Saurik explains the release:
Cydia Сounts 18 Million Jailbroken Devices in Six Weeks
Saurik reports that about 18 million devices were counted by Cydia in the last six weeks, between untethered jailbreak release and iOS 6.1.3 which blocks this jailbreak. According to Forbes:
In the six weeks since evasi0n was released, however, close to 18 million devices have already been jailbroken, according to data from Jay Freeman, the administrator of the Cydia app store for jailbroken devices. He says he's counted 18.2 million unique devices running iOS 6 visiting Cydia, including 13.8 million iPhones, 3.4 million iPads, and 1.1 million iPod Touches. Those numbers vastly exceed previous jailbreaks such as Jailbreakme 3, a popular hacking tool for iOS released in the summer of 2011 that was used on around 2 million devices, according to a count at the time by creator Nicholas Allegra.
Saurik Releases an Update to WinterBoard
Saurik has released an update to WinterBoard that includes numerous fixes and improvements.
WinterBoard lets you theme your iOS device to the way you want it to. Numerous theme packages can be found on Cydia or you can create your very own.

Update to Corona untethered jailbreak released
New version of Corona Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 has been released in Cydia. Corona v1.0-8 features recent iBooks fix from planetbeing (the one that was recently released in redsn0w 0.9.10b5).
Saurik tweeted that all users jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 should install the update. UPDATE: This doesn't apply to "old bootrom" iPhone 3GS users.
@planetbeing put a lot of work into solving iBooks image loading bugs. All users (however jailbroken) on 5.0.1 should install.
So, most of the feedback I have received from "all users (however jailbroken) running 5.0.1" has been "even me? I did X.": yes, even you. ;P
You can find the Corona package in the System section of Cydia.
Corona untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 gets updated
Saurik has announced that an update to the Corona Untethered Jailbreak has been released in Cydia.
The update fixes issues for iBooks and launchd and it's recommended that users who previously jailbroke their A4 devices install the Corona package from Cydia.
Corona (5.0.1 untether) 1.0-4 is now out: users of redsn0w or the older packages should install. This fixes both iBooks and launchd (again).
As many users don't realize that untethers only affects boot, I just released 1.0-5 of the Corona package, which forces a reboot on upgrade.

Untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S will be released in a few days
The 'dream team' of iPhone hackers has made more progress on the A5 jailbreak with planetbeing just announcing that they're out of Apple's sandbox.
And we're out of the sandbox with @saurik's invaluable help! (well, at least there's a PoC) Turning out more complex than X-Gold 618.
pod2g also mentioned progress in twitter:
@planetbeing escaped from the sandbox with the help of @saurik. Thanks to their awesome work, there should be nothing left blocking for the A5 jailbreak. Now it should be a matter of days. Still no precise ETA of course.

Saurik makes contribution towards iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak
It looks like iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak will truly be a team effort. Recently another hacker Saurik joined the team and made "some major contributions" yesterday.
Last week Pod2g announced that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja joined his effort to release an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (A5 CPU devices).
Today, MuscleNerd noted that the team has received some major contributions from saurik:
Watch Saurik and P0sixninja speak about Jailbreaking at MyGreatFest
Watch saurik, p0sixninja and other members of the jailbreak community speak at MyGreatFest via videos posted by VIZBOXtv:
Long line for WWDC, jailbreakers are at the front
Check out the insanely long line up for WWDC. It is already almost 4 blocks long.
Jailbreak people are already there. And they are in front of the line. @saurik, @mxweas, @chpwn, @aaronash, @stroughtonsmith are all there.
Here is a quick video where Saurik explains why jailbreakers are at the front of the line:
Companies Considering Cydia As Advertising Platform
Cydia is the well-known alternative App Store for jailbroken devices, now installed on 10-15 million iOS devices accounting for roughly 9% of the total iOS userbase worldwide, according to the latest numbers shared by Cydia's creator and main developer, Jay Freeman aka Saurik. 1.5 million users log in Cydia on a daily basis. So it's not surprise that such large companies like Toyota have seen the potentialities of the Cydia and now wish to promote their brand and products via Cydia or invest into an advertising campaign. They're simply looking for new ways of promoting their products, for example, Scion, Toyota affiliate, already created the theme for jailbroken devices in order to advertise their new 2011 tC vehicle.
Cydia 1.1.1 released
Cydia lead developer Jay Freeman released Cydia 1.1.1. You can update it in Cydia. It became much faster and more stable.
Features of new Cydia will include:
- the ability to run and operate Activator, libstatusbar, and SimulatedKeyEvents while Cydia is running
- an overall speed improvement, including the "Loading Changes" dialog
- "much less" memory usage
- a more advanced search mechanism with a new relevancy algorithm
- better management of broken repositories
Here is a full changelog discussion from Saurik:
PwnageTool 4.2 with untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak released
DevTeam released PwnageTool 4.2 utility. It is able to create a custom IPSW that can perform an untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1. As usual it can preserve baseband version for unlockers. Devteam used the same method that was implemented in greenpois0n.
PwnageTool supports all 4.2.1 devices other than iPod touch 2G:
- iPhone3G
- iPhone3GS
- iPhone4
- iPhone4-Verizon
- iPod touch 3G
- iPod touch 4G
- iPad
- AppleTV 2G
Jailbreak is even improved compared to GreenPois0n RC6:

New Cydia Feature: Theme Center
Jay Freeman (better known as Saurik) has reported that he added a new feature to Cydia, the jailbreak application store. "Cydia Theme Center" provides easer search of for Retina and non-Retina themes. Right now, you will find a selection of free and paid themes popular in Cydia, as well as themes selected by the employees of MacCiti and ModMyi. Soon Cydia user also will be able to vote their favorites into Theme Center. Freeman has predicted that the feature would be really popular. After release of Theme Center he posted to Twitter: The second feature to use my Whole Package Index, the "Cydia Theme Center", went up an hour ago, and 15,000 people have already tried it! ;P
Cydia Is Coming To The Mac
Recently Jay Freeman, better known as Saurik, creator of popular alternative store Cydia for jailbroken devices, claimed during the 360|MacDev conference that Cydia is coming to the Mac. Not surprising! Cydia is used by more than 10 million devices (about 10% of all iPhone users) and provides access to some amazing tweaks, apps and extensions of iOS. There are well over 30,000 packages available for iOS. The Cydia's creator refers to that Cydia as a store for things that are not apps, but extensions of what iOS devices can do. Saurik feels like the same type of store would be useful for Mac OS X devices. That is why he created Mac Cydia, which will be available in some weeks. We don't know exactly what kind of tweaks and apps could be sold into Cydia for Mac. Perhaps Cydia will be aimed at offering easy installation of themes, system mods and tweaks.

Now that her days as Disney's Hannah Montana are done, controversial teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus is readying her next film role. Remember when Miley starred in Rock Mafia's "The Big Bang" music video alongside Kevin Zegers? Of course you do. What you may not know is that Cyrus' separated stage mom, Tish, is working with producer Suzanne Todd to turn the concept of that promo into a full-length film drama, starring Miley, of course.
The music video shows Miley and Kevin engaging in various romantic entanglements "blur fantasy and reality," combining all the aspects of mystery, adventure, romance, and the supernatural.
It would make a great plot for a film, a tipster with ties to Tish told E! Online this month.
"Tish and Todd are hatching the script with Miley's musical collaborators Rock Mafia, the song and music video's producer."

Frequently Asked Questions
Online learning courses are 100% online, so you have to be comfortable learning on your own, at a fast pace. You also have to be comfortable sitting at your computer! Visit the Louisiana Online site to read about online learning and take the self-assessment.
What degree programs are offered by the online learning program?
Currently, Criminal Justice, Family and Child Studies, Sociology and Management and Psychology are the only degrees offered through online learning at McNeese State University. However, there are also master's in Criminal Justice, Nursing and HHP-Health Promotion concentration offered, as well as bachelor's in General Studies, Library Science Certification and several other certifications through nursing, and education that are offered.
How much does the program cost?
Online learning classes cost the same as a traditional face-to-face class, however there is an additional $20/per credit electronic learning fee assessed for online courses. Since the online learning program is 100% online, students outside the state of Louisiana do not pay Out-of-State tuition. See the breakdown of registration fees per hour under the current schedule; fee payment.
Tuition and fees are subject to change by action of the Louisiana Legislature, the Board of Regents, or by student vote on special assessment.
Does the adult learning program qualify for financial aid?
Yes, because online learning is a part of an established degree program, all of these classes qualify for financial aid just like traditional classes. For an online learning student to receive financial assistance they must be enrolled in six or more hours. For more information about the types of financial aid available, contact the McNeese Financial Aid Office at 337.475.5065.
Do my credits and hours from other colleges count at McNeese?
As long as the credit was earned at a regionally accredited institution and is compatible with the degree program, the answer is almost always yes. All transfer credit is subject to the approval of the receiving school. All online learning must provide transcripts from all colleges you have attended.
Are there other ways to earn credit?
Yes, McNeese offers online learning students several opportunities to earn credit through alternative means. We recognize that people can learn outside the classroom. Students may obtain credit through the following advanced placement and credit examination programs:
- College Board Advance Placement Program (AP)
- McNeese State University Advanced Placement Program
- College Board College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
- McNeese State University Credit Examinations
- Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Portfolio
If I am already a McNeese student and want to get into the online learning program, what should I do?
First, you will need to fill out an online application, which includes the online learning application online. Once accepted into the online learning program, the Director of E-Learning will contact you to guide you through the registration process. If you are just starting your college career, you are still eligible to become an online learning student.
Do I need to enroll at McNeese before I can qualify for online learning?
Actually, you can do both at the same time. However, you must first be admitted to the university before you can be advised for the upcoming semester. You can find more information on the steps to apply by visiting the Admission Requirements of the online learning website.
What other degree programs will be offered through online learning?
Several schools around the state are participating in the online learning program, each with designated majors. For more information, visit the statewide Louisiana Online website.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Chapter 1 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 19
[At the Central Station]: "One of them, a stout, excitable chap […] informed me […] that my steamer was at the bottom of the river. I was thunderstruck. What, how, why? Oh, it was "all right." The "manager himself" was there. All quite correct […]
I did not see the real significance of that wreck at once. I fancy I see it now, but I am not sure – not at all. Certainly the affair was too stupid – when I think of it – to be altogether natural. Still…but at the moment it presented itself simply as a confounded nuisance. The steamer was sunk. They had started two days before in a sudden hurry up the river with the manager on board, in charge of some volunteer skipper, and before they had been out three hours they tore the bottom out of her on stones, and she sank near the south bank….the repairs when I brought the pieces to the station, took some months." (1.50-51)
What seems at first an accident, Marlow later suspects to have been a planned attempt at sabotage.
Quote 20
"I heard the name of Kurtz pronounced, then the words, 'take advantage of this unfortunate accident.'" (1.56)
The fact that the manager wants to take advantage of this so-called "unfortunate accident" brings into question whether it was a bad turn of luck or someone's willful attempt to sabotage (indirectly) Kurtz.
Quote 21
The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come to and wait for the turn of the tide. (1.1)
The story begins with an interruption. The Nellie, stranded by a flood, can do nothing but wait for the tide to turn to continue her journey. It is during this delay that Marlow tells his story.

Our source was molested back in the '80s, and he never reported it to anyone outside of the Church. For 30 years, he's kept quiet. And then he spoke to us.
Pokemon Go is great to keep you active but, you know, watch out for these pitfalls.
We talked to a BDSM chat room moderator, and here's what he told us about the grenade he's falling on for mankind.
Warning: You'll probably be up all night trying to figure out the terrifying truth behind these mysterious crimes.
Apparently, when you're rich and famous, you run out of real things to get mad about and start going ballistic over ridiculous things.
Our bodies are weird, as the farts that half of you will inadvertently release while reading this can attest to. But at least now we know why.

Hundreds of patrons -- mostly men – munched on chicken wings and hamburgers served by waitresses in low-cut tank tops and tight shorts Tuesday at Hooters' grand opening in Waco.
The opening comes months after about 60 ministers tried to stop the restaurant's construction.
Rev. Greg Brumit, who disapproved of the increased traffic in the neighborhood as well as the skimpy outfits, said no more protests were planned.
Last fall, Brumit was among dozens of ministers who wrote a letter to city and county officials, saying Hooters should not come to Waco.
Waco is home to Baylor University, the world's largest Baptist university. It is certainly not the first place Hooters has faced opposition.
In Arlington in 2002, some residents said the restaurant could attract students at a nearby high school and corrupt them.
The group, called Decency for Arlington, helped block Hooters from getting a beer permit, although the restaurant opened anyway.

In a chat with The Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta on NDTV 24x7's Walk the Talk, filmmaker Prakash Jha talks about his films, politics and his passion for the 'real India'
My guest is a wonderful filmmaker, who, for one, is not afraid of messing with the grimy India, but has also found the perfect balance between the shiny and the grimy, and if I may say so now, also the slimy. Prakash Jha, you are a brave man!
Thank you for that introduction. One has been seeing the way India has been developing. Year after year, we talk about the great shining India, the growth rates, etc. I belong to a village in Betia (Bihar). You have to get 2 km off any expressway in this country ― four lanes or seven lanes ― to see the real India. You know, 75-77 per cent of the population of this country is still looking for opportunities, still trying to understand what all this growth is about. The real India continuously engages my mind. Any development, whether it is the Mandal Commission or free-market economy or any kind of social change, it engrosses me. I try to study it and see what effect it has on the grassroots and try to find stories in it.
When you came to Mumbai, what were the surprises that awaited you?
Before Mumbai, I had lived in Delhi. I was in the university there and had some idea of a metropolitan city. I was doing physics honours, I gave that up, because we Biharis are genetically manufactured to become IAS or IPS officers. That's what my family expected me to do. And I thought if I became a graduate, there would be no way to escape that. So I thought I won't do my graduation and that would be an excuse for not becoming an IAS officer.

Spotify Connect brings WiFi music streaming to Android
iOS users no longer have bragging rights
MUSIC STREAMING SERVICE Spotify Connect is now available for users of Android smartphones and tablet devices, meaning iOS users no longer have bragging rights.
Spotify Connect was announced in September, as a feature that allows Spotify Premium subscribers to stream music to speakers locally over WiFi, eliminating the need for frustrating Bluetooth pairing.
Another bonus is that Spotify Connect will let you take a phone call without interrupting the music playing, rather than having to figure out how to stop your mum's voice bellowing through your Bluetooth speaker. It also it means you can be as far away from the speakers as you like as long as you remain connected to the same WiFi connection.
A Spotify spokersperson said, "Spotify Connect solves this by giving you effortless control of your music across your phone, tablet and now speakers with millions of songs built right in."
There's a bit of a catch at present, however, as Spotify Connect only works with a handful of speakers. Partners at present include Argon, Bang & Olufsen, Denon, Marantz, Philips, Pioneer, Revo, Teufel and Yamaha, and Spotify said in September that additional brands would be joining the service soon.
Spotify Connect also can't play local files, only those included in its streaming library.
To get started with Spotify Connect, make sure your device and speakers are hooked up to the same WiFi connection, start playing a track, and select the speaker icon in the Now Playing bar.
In this latest update, Spotify also addressed the complaint that images are not loading properly in Android 4.4 Kitkat, something we noticed when reviewing the Google Nexus 5, and said it is working on a fix.
Spotify for Android is available to download for free from the Google Play store, but a Premium account will be required to use the Connect service. µ

Washington: A Life (Paperback)
November 2010 Indie Next List
"This fast-paced, intriguing biography transforms George Washington from a stone-faced enigma perched atop Mt. Rushmore into an intriguing, approachable historical character. In the hands of award-winning biographer Ron Chernow, Washington's life emerges in sharp focus and reveals a complex persona -- a man who was at once charming and morally upright, yet also politically astute and masterly at concealing deep emotion. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, this work is destined to serve as this generation's standard."
— Maggie McIntire, Books on the Common, Ridgefield, CT
A gripping portrait of the first president of the United States from the author of "Alexander Hamilton," the New York Times bestselling biography that inspired the musical.
Celebrated biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the father of our nation and the first president of the United States. With a breadth and depth matched by no other one volume biography of George Washington, this crisply paced narrative carries the reader through his adventurous early years, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his magnificent performance as America's first president. In this groundbreaking work, based on massive research, Chernow shatters forever the stereotype of George Washington as a stolid, unemotional figure and brings to vivid life a dashing, passionate man of fiery opinions and many moods.
Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Biography
Truly magnificent a] well-researched, well-written and absolutely definitive biography Andrew Roberts, "The Wall Street Journal"
Superb the best, most comprehensive, and most balanced single-volume biography of Washington ever written. Gordon S. Wood, "The New York Review of Books"
A truly gripping biography of George Washington... I can t recommend it highly enough as history, as epic, and, not least, as entertainment. It's as luxuriantly pleasurable as one of those great big sprawling, sweeping Victorian novels. Hendrik Hertzberg, "The New Yorker"
Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash Broadway musical Hamilton has sparked new interest in the Revolutionary War and the Founding Fathers. In addition to Alexander Hamilton, the production also features George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Aaron Burr, Lafayette, and many more.
About the Author
Ron Chernow's first book, The House of Morgan, won the National Book Award and the Ambassador Award for the year's best study of American culture. His second book, The Warburgs, won the Eccles Prize as the Best Business Book of 1993 and was also selected by the American Library Association as one of that year's best nonfiction books. In reviewing his recent collection of essays, The Death of the Banker, The New York Times called the author "as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades and chose the paperback original as one of the year's Notable Books.
