Normally, for processes containing chlorides and 2% HCl at 80° C, I would suggest a nickel-based alloy like N06022, N10276, or N06200. Casting would require using a cast equivalent version. However, I do not believe any of these HCl resistant alloys commonly used in the chemical industry are suitable for spin casting since they melt at high temperatures. Good luck in your search.
Have an insight or suggestion?

GM happy Bautista returning
The curious offseason of the Toronto Blue Jays, the one in which they watched one franchise hero sign with a rival for a smaller contract than they had offered him, and then snapped up the second Jays legend for the relative pittance of a one-year guarantee, is perhaps best summed up by one statement offered by Ross Atkins on Thursday morning.

Looks like the content sink might be at fault here...
This is a JS engine bug dealing with deep bailing not properly restoring the return value from the result of the (fast native) escape function. We then try to do something with the uninitialized memory and crash in the interpreter.

Fix Andreas came up with
Andreas mostly came up with this patch. I sort of followed along and verified that it fixes the crash. It also makes sense to me.
I don't have any clue how to make a trace-test for this... We can use Lucas' testcase as a mochitest, though.
(of course, when I say mochitest up there, I mean crashtest.)
Since this bug is memory corruption and the 'escape' function is not exotic, other crashes could be in fact this bug (this bug is pretty serious).
I suspect bug 503144 being a duplicate of this. And I have seen another crash report, which could be a duplicate of this (I have to look that up).

Right, the trend with this recent spill of JS crashes are all foreign sites making use of escape();
Just a question. Could the same bug appear with other builtin functions, like unescape? Or, does the patch solve all builtin function problems?
I was searching in crash sites and found something with an 'unescape' but without an 'escape'.

*** Bug 504001 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
From the duped bug 504001 ,
This bug has reliable exploit code on milw0rm that results in code execution.
Can we get the fix merged over to m-c, bitte?
Not sure what the internal policy is on publicly known exploits and hiding bugs or not. Someone versed in policy stuff please decide whether to unhide or not :)
Looking at the exploit code and our test cases, I think this is self-inflicted and we should have hidden the bug earlier. But this is very hard to judge to be hones.t I wouldn't entire exclude fuzzing or random heap spraying as method of discovery. Maybe someone with more experience on how such exploits are discovered wants to weigh in.
It would seem that the milw0rm exploit code is based on the testcases for this bug. When you look at the crash details in a debugger, it's pretty clear that it's exploitable with a heap spray to the access violation address in question.
I don't know know anything about the usual policy for hiding bugs, but in general, whether or not you publish something like that, security by obscurity in general is bad. There are always hackers out there trying to make a name for themselves and they'll throw every combination of fuzzers to find an exploit and make a name for themselves. Even if these testcases weren't visible, it was just a matter of time before someone would have gotten lucky and found the exploit.

True - but the _speed_ of fuzzers won't be faster than just heading to a not-yet-hidden-but-exploit-is-there-for-the-taking bug and taking the code to create an exploit. Note that the code in question apparently is identical to the testcase (if true), per comment #34.
The delay created by security through obscurity is bad, but it has its merits by providing some sort of delay, which is better than no delay at all (as in this case). Here we have an exploit created from a known bug that should have been hidden from the onset, reflecting probably on our shortcoming in some way, no one's mistake in particular.
But I digress...
yeah, well, linking the bugzilla bugs from crash-stats.mozilla.com is certainly an optimization, no matter how you look at it.

Fix Andreas came up with
This patch doesn't apply cleanly to the 1.9.1 branch.
Created attachment 388437 [details] [diff] [review]
For 1.9.1
The merge was pretty trivial, though!
I'm not sure what's going on with flags/keywords... But I landed http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/a1a6b17a22da (with a crashtest) and also http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/ddb8d512ede1 on trunk.
just ran this from last night's nightly, and still crashing on the testcase.
mac.dmg dated 04:45, July 13th, 2009.
Did this not get picked up by the builder?
verified fixed in latest hourly build.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:18.104.22.168pre) Gecko/20090714
looking at the time I pasted above, it's not surprising the fix was not in that build (checkin was 11 hours later).
I asked Ben to respin 1.9.1 nightlies.
Blake: can you also land this on GECKO191_20090623_RELBRANCH in case we decide to minibranch?
I made the first test case, but I am not from Mozilla. If a good reproducible crash is sufficient to turn the security flag on, then bug 502648 (flash bug) should also get the security flag on. A bug no one is working on, yet.
If it's reproducible and the stack trace shows signs of exploitability, yes. Bug 502648 looks like a null deref, which is not exploitable. See http://www.squarefree.com/2006/11/02/determining-whether-a-crash-looks-exploitable/ for how I evaluate crash stacks.
I only volunteer to make some test cases. Someone from Mozilla should have done this check and added it to bug 502648 (I will copy this info now).
A good, reproducible testcase is sufficient to run through a debugger and get a good idea whether it's exploitable or not. Comment 14 is around when this turned into a security bug.
bug 502648 looks like a null dereference which are not exploitable (usually -- sometimes the particular testcase results in a near-null but the bug might behave differently in other cases).
(In reply to comment #50)
> I only volunteer to make some test cases.
And it's much appreciated!! Once we have a testcase everything else is easy (often including the fix). Just keep sticking the testcase keyword up there when you do and it shows up in our triage queries.
Maybe off topic, but I don't know where to ask.
The site:
Has crashed per URL, but only for FF3.1b2. I can't get a list for FF3.5. Is this deliberate (for security)?
I managed to produce bug 502648 from that list, but I don't have any reproduction work now. There is nothing interesting in bugzilla anymore.

Makes 4 cups cooked wild rice
The cooking time for wild rice varies depending on when the rice was harvested and the type of wild rice used (some are very black, others are more brown or tan). Look for wild rice in supermarkets or health food stores.
1. Rinse and drain the wild rice.
2. Bring the wild rice, water, and salt to a boil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Reduce the heat, cover loosely, and cook 45 to 60 minutes, until the rice has "butterflied" or puffed open. Taste a few grains. The wild rice should be tender, a bit chewy, but not mushy. (If the rice is too firm, add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup water and continue to cook until tender. Or, if necessary, drain away any excess water.) Remove the pot from the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, cover tightly, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Ball hawk runs down fouls and homers
FULLERTON - He searches a second for a word that would describe his life.
"Pathetic," John Witt says, smiling and shaking his head, instantly realizing how pathetic it is to describe your own life as pathetic.
He's heard the whispers from people who call guys like him losers. Witt, 36, of Fullerton doesn't care. For every person who thinks he's a wacko, he says, there are people who admire his passion.
His pathetic passion.
John Witt is a ball hawk.
He is the guy who appears for a half-second on the baseball highlight reel snagging a home run ball in the left-field seats. He's the guy leaning over the railing down the right-field line to try to scoop up a foul ball. He's the guy dodging the usher to chase a baseball into an area where fans are not permitted.
Since 1977, when he was 7 years old, he says he has caught, scooped or picked up 4,739 baseballs at major and minor league, spring-training or World Baseball Classic games. This year alone, he says, he has attended 18 games and snagged 77 balls - that's 4.3 bpg (balls per game), a good stat for a ball hawk.
There is no way to verify that Witt's numbers are accurate, but he says he has old game schedules, dating from the early 1980s, that show tallies for many of the baseballs he's grabbed.
His numbers are staggering, but he has humility. He says other ball hawks are much better than he is.
"I'm the sixth- or seventhgreatest of all time," he says, which is like Joe DiMaggio saying he's no Babe Ruth.
Like a true ball hawk, Witt isn't satisfied with his numbers. One ball-hawking milestone remains out there, and John Witt hopes to reach it this week at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
Ralph Witt, a schoolteacher/freelance photographer, used to take his boys, Dan and John, to ballgames at Wrigley Field or Comiskey Park. They lived in Elmhurst, about 16 miles from Chicago, and Ralph would take them early so he could line up a good camera angle.
In 1977, during batting practice at Comiskey, a ball rolled down the left-field line, a groundskeeper kicked it, it bounced into the stands, and it landed in the mitt of little John Witt. Later that day, an errant warm-up throw by White Sox outfielder Chet Lemon also bounced into John's hands.
Two balls in one day is more than many fans get in a lifetime.
A ball hawk was born.
When John was 16, his father got sick and quickly lost a battle with stomach cancer.
John said his obsession with collecting baseballs is a way to stay connected to the memory of his father. Going to the ballpark with his dad was the greatest time of his life. His brother Dan used to ball-hawk with him, but he gave it up around the time he became an adult.
"He still takes his glove to games, but he's not a basket case like me," John says.
His longtime friend, Joanie Paradise, used to go with John to games at Wrigley Field.
"I've never seen someone with so much passion for the game," Paradise says. "He's like a little kid when it comes to baseball. He's nutty. I love him dearly, but I can't say crazy enough when it comes to him and baseball."
John Witt is looking for a full-time job after almost 10 years as a baseball clubhouse attendant, concession-stand operator or marketing staff member for minor league teams such as the Port Charlotte Rangers, the Berkshire Black Bears, the Peoria Chiefs and most recently the Fullerton Flyers. He makes some money editing math textbooks, but he has sold most of his baseballs for extra cash.
He's got his resumé out, hoping to land another job that allows him to get a paycheck at a ballpark.
"Baseball is what I want to do," he said. "It's all I've ever done."
He became a regular ball hawk in the late 1980s, hanging out on the streets outside Wrigley Field waiting for home run balls. He learned from masters such as Mo Mullins, who is considered by many to be the greatest ball hawk of all time. Other ball-hawk luminaries he only knew by their first names or nicknames: Railroad Mike, Cabbie and Rich.
They taught him the secrets to catching stray baseballs: Always buy the least expensive ticket, then sneak into the left- or right-field corner. Stay away from large groups of people (so they don't get to the balls before you do). Position yourself in an empty aisle next to an empty row (so you can move freely back and forth and side to side). Scout the hitters. (Know who pulls and who hits to the opposite field.)
There's one more genius rule: Always carry extra major league baseballs in case ushers or security guards or bullying fans want to take away the one you just caught. If you've got extra baseballs, you can quickly switch and give them the meaningless ball and keep the good one for yourself.
His tactics have paid off. Witt caught Sammy Sosa's 61st home run ball during the 1998 season at Wrigley Field. (Note: He says he quickly sold it for $7,500.) He's snagged home run balls from Dave Winfield, Mike Schmidt, Eddie Murray, Derek Jeter and Carlton Fisk.
He says he once grabbed 14 baseballs in a single game.
This week, the ball hawk will take his skills to Angel Stadium. Witt has collected 99 home run balls at big league games, and he wants number 100 badly.
He's already anticipating what will happen. He's going to camp out down the left-field line with his mitt ready.
He's going to be especially alert when Tim Salmon comes up. Salmon is nearing his own milestone: 300 home runs. Witt would like his 100th to be Salmon's 300th.
But he knows he's not the ball hawk he used to be.
"I'm losing a step," he says. "I used to be able to cover three or four sections at a time. Now I can only cover one and a half."

Unlikely pig owners Steve and Derek got a whole lot more than they bargained for when the designer micropiglet they adopted turned out to be a full-sized 600-pound sow! In the best-selling tradition of pet memoirs such as Oogy, Dewey, and Giant George, the story of Esther the Wonder Pig shows how families really do come in all shapes and sizes.
In the summer of 2012, Steve Jenkins was contacted by an old friend about adopting a micropiglet. Though he knew his partner, Derek, wouldn't be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could care for her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek's lives forever.
It turned out there was nothing "micro" about Esther, and Steve and Derek had actually signed on to raise a full-size commercial pig. Within three years tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds. After some real growing pains and a lot of pig-size messes, it became clear that Esther needed much more space, so Steve and Derek made another life-changing decision: They bought a farm and opened the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, where they could care for Esther and other animals in need.
Funny, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Esther the Wonder Pig follows Steve and Derek's adventure - from reluctant pig parents to farm-owning advocates for animals.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
©2016 Steve Jenkins, Derek Walter, Caprice Crane (P)2016 Hachette Audio
"An inspirational, enjoyable read, especially for animal lovers." (Booklist)
"Funny, moving, and heartwarming. The greatest love story ever told between two men and their pig. " (Ricky Gervais)
"First, Jenkins and Walter opened their hearts to one very special pig, and now they are opening their doors and letting us in, too. Esther the Wonder Pig is a tender, funny story that manages to sneak up behind you when you're least expecting it and change your life. Be prepared to fall in love-with a pig." (Jasmin Singer, author of Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir and cohost of Our Hen House)
"Best recipe of love on sad day..."
I listened the the last two hours of this book while on a hike in the early morning of Sunday, June 12th. I marveled at the profound love that Derek and Steve have not only for each other but for Esther and all the other animals in their lives. I laughed, I cried, I hit rewind to hear parts again. It's the best love story ever.
Then I got in my car and turned on NPR and heard the horrifying news of the mass shooting in Orlando. The love radiating from Steve, Derek and Esther has carried me through. This is the best book in my library. I give it DOUBLE five stars in all categories. ❤❤❤
This book is a MUST read!!!
This book will change your way of thinking about ALL farm animals! EVERY animal IS Esther & deserves to live a beautiful life free of harm.
We love you Esther, Steve & Derek ❤🐽
"Wonderfully inspiring story"
Listened to this book in 1 day. Such a great story of two guys and their colorful gang of furbabies, especially Esther! Compassion for animals is contagious 😀
"I already loved Esther, and now I love her MORE"
I've already listened to the book twice... and I am certain that I will listen to it again and again!
The description of Steve trying to wrestle an oiled up Esther out of their bed had me rolling on the floor laughing.
I couldn't stop once I started listening, I truly enjoyed listening Esther's story in their own voice.
I've had the great pleasure of volunteering at Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary and have met Steve, Derek and the Queen Esther. It was one of the best days ever! Their story is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh and maybe even experience a few happy tears. I love this family and this book!
"I loved this book so much"
I have followed the story of Esther, and to hear Steve read about his beloved family member, Esther the Wonder Pig, was truly an honor! I am SO GLAD Steve was the narrator. His love, humor and compassion just spilled into every word.
I loved this book because the narrator was also a character in the story, and the emotions were true. When Steve got choked up, we all cried! When Steve laughed, we all laughed. And I love that Canadian accent.
No although I knew I had to have the audible version when Steve was on Facebook live reading the book to Esther (anyone have a tissue?).
Yes, and I did!
I alway thought I hated audiobooks, until I bought this one.
"Kindness is magic!"
Great fun! I loved the story even though I am already severely addicted to Esther's social media and familiar with your amazing work and attitude.
Loved dad Steve's narration. Pleae consider adding your giggle as a ring tone.
"Life changing book"
I must admit I'm not much of a reader. It takes a lot to keep my attention but I absolutely loved this book! I fell in love with Steve and Derrick and their wonderful hectic life with Esther! This is an eye opening true story and it is now my goal in life to go visit Happily Ever Esther!
"Esther the Wonder Pig"
This is a lovely heartwarming story. Great humor and kindness on display. We should all listen closely to what our animal friends have to say.
"So heartwarming x"
Couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. But I'm so glad I got the audio book version, Listening to Steve saying his,Derek and Esther's story just makes it even more special than it is x
"this will change hearts and minds"
the audio version became available whilst I was awaiting my hard copy of the book to arrive in the UK. not my usual format but heck I wanted the whole story. LOVE this story - it has changed my whole world. Esther found her voice through her Dads and their gentle and often hair-raising story is one we can all learn from. unconditional love and respect for all nature.
I bought the book because I love Esther and wanted to support the work of her dads. I wasn't expecting it to be an amazing book, but it is the first book I have ever had on audible that I listened to the whole of in one sitting :) made me so happy, thank you!
Fantastic narrator- it is so important and he did a great job.
The tangible distress of the urine-soaked house and the sobbing dads scrubbing the basement. That moment lead them to true happiness.

I rike yere style. Could have used more animation, but the vibe was where it's at. Salad Fingers-ish. I enjoy your flavor texture. There just aren't enough conjoined Nazi twins in animation these days!!! A damn shame really! A crying damn shame!!!! *mantisifies you*
I know right, there really isn't enough conjoined nazi twins
That was great animation here friend! You had me litterally laughing since you created on of those "Random" bizarre movies that lack a sense of strong plotpoints and such. Your style was unique it was rough yet it was soft and gelatinous in design as though your characters exist in some other plain of existence.... Your audio was top notch too. Your choice of dark ambient music (I'm a big fan of horror of ANY kind and I enjoy Dark Ambient giving you that "Hey, your not welcome here!" mood) made it quite dark yet of course with your animating techniques you also made it a bit of a light comedy, So you sir blended both aspects very well together. I really did enjoy this short I just couldn't stop laughing. I'm going to bestow you a solid 4/5 and a 4/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I thank you for bringing me joyous laughs and for bringing a big smile on my face! I look forward to reviewing, observing and most important to me enjoying your final by products of your hard labor. Congratulations my friend! I hope you've enjoyed this review as I had enjoyed watching your unique film. Good day.
Nice drawing and scaring atmosphere, but it's too much nonsense to be considered a short flash movie, could be maybe an intro for something more definite.
The fact is that it has no plot at all.
The concept, the voice and the art is good, though.
You are a good artist, but this is not a real complete work. It just sucks.
Keep it up, you got talent!
Not sure if this is supposed to be funny or serious.....
I have no idea either man.
I don't get it?
yeah I thought people would experience this problem when watching. Basically I found this facebook post that said "I don't know geography but I know that you live in my heart" and thought that it would be kinda creepy if that person actually lived in his heart. The animation then for some reason slowly turned into this weird, creepy cartoon with a bunch of random schitzophranic like scenes thrown together into one big pile of wtf. I kinda wished I made it clear in the film but I just really wanted to get it done.
Thanks for the review by the way.

HIV/AIDS Frequently Asked Questions
HIV Basics
What are the early signs of HIV?
HIV infects and destroys what are called CD4 cells, which make up the immune system. The early signs of HIV infection are often vague, and sometimes will go unnoticed. Patients who have HIV often describe symptoms to be similar to the flu, which can include:
- Fever
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Sore throat
- Skin rash
- Muscle soreness
- Fatigue
Because these symptoms can be confused for other conditions or diseases, many people may not be aware that they are infected. For this reason, it is extremely important to get tested to make sure that you do not have the infection.
What is HIV?
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight off infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are more than 56,000 new HIV infections in the United States every year. About 1.1 million people are infected and living with the virus; and unfortunately, one in five of people with HIV have not been tested and diagnosed, and are therefore not receiving proper treatment to manage its damaging effects.
The HIV is transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex when the blood, semen or vaginal secretions of an infected partner enter your body. Although rare, you can also get HIV from blood transfusions, or by sharing needles or syringes that are contaminated with infected blood. Additionally, infected mothers run the risk of transmitting HIV to their babies during pregnancy, delivery or while breastfeeding.
How is HIV spread?
There are many ways HIV can be spread between people: sexual activity, including anal, oral and vaginal sex, through needle sharing, accidental needle sticks, and to babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
HIV attacks the body's CD4 cells by infecting them with the virus. These CD4 cells make up the immune system, and infecting them with the virus weakens them until they are unable to perform their required tasks to keep the immune system strong. This creates further problems for HIV patients whose immune systems are compromised.
You cannot get HIV from mosquitoes, toilet seats, eating utensils, phones, or the like.
What if I have HIV and I'm pregnant?
In general, HIV can be treated during pregnancy, greatly reducing the potential risks to your baby. Consult your regular doctor about the risks involved, and to identify a treatment that's best for you and your baby.
What else should I know about AIDS?
From a medical definition, AIDS only develops when CD4 levels drop below 200 cells per milliliter of blood. When the body's immune system is weakened, a person who has AIDS develops what is known as "opportunistic infections." These are diseases that typically don't affect people who have healthy and strong immune systems; and are often the cause of death for many people with AIDS.. These "opportunistic infections" include Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphomas (cancers of the immune system), tuberculosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, and many other bacterial and fungal infections.
When does HIV advance to AIDS?
During the acute stages of HIV, there might be a long period without symptoms where an infected person may feel "normal" again and remain unaware of their infection. Although this person feels normal, HIV will continue to damage their immune system if the infection is left untreated. The immune system can be weakened to the point where AIDS develops. The time in which HIV develops AIDS is different from person to person, but this typically happens over a period of years.
Does HIV always lead to AIDS?
Not everyone with HIV will develop an AIDS condition. AIDS typically only develops during the advanced stages of HIV, in the event that the infected person does not get treatment or take their course of treatment as directed. Because of this, its recommended that anyone concerned about HIV to get tested in order to catch the infection early.
Is there a difference between HIV and AIDS?
It's a common misconception that HIV and AIDS are the same disease, because people tend to discuss them together. However, HIV and AIDS are separate diseases. HIV, which stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a viral infection that attacks the cells in the body. AIDS, which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, can develop in HIV patients in later stages of the disease. If HIV is treated in its earlier stages, the development of AIDS may be prevented, but this is not guaranteed. HIV can be very dangerous because it weakens the immune system of the infected person. This causes the patient to be unable to defend against other viruses, bacteria, or even small illnesses like the common cold.
HIV Testing
How can I get tested for HIV?
We make getting tested for HIV simple by offering the HIV Antibody Test. It is safe, reliable and easy (no undressing or swabbing required). Just one fast blood draw and you're on your way. The HIV Antibody Test is the most common detector for HIV-1 and HIV-2. This test looks for antibodies of the viruses in the blood and has an accuracy rate of 99% after the testing window has expired.
We also offer testing with the HIV Early Detection Test which can detect the HIV virus sooner, if you are worried about a recent exposure.
What are my options for treatment If I test positive of HIV?"
If you test result returns positive for HIV, treatment options are available. One of the most common forms of treatment is called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Through treatments like HAART, patients are able to maintain a good quality of life for as long as possible. Most patients start treatment options immediately after testing positive for HIV.

Never underestimate Grandma.
(submitted by Paul)
This was taken at Knott's Berry Farm in a shop called the Picture Gallery. My older sister worked there as a photographer for several years. There was not a hole cutout for your head, but rather 2 separate paintings with a little "walkway" between them. That's why the heads "fit" so well. You simply placed your chin/neck in the groove, and the background was another painting. My mom and dad had this same picture taken- in fact the man in the picture even looks a bit like my dad. We had many different pictures taken there in various settings- all with a western theme.
My grandparents had their picture taken with this same cutout!! I don't know what freaks me out more…coming across this in my grandmother's picture album and spending endless hours staring at it and trying to figure it out OR coming across it again here and reliving that memory.
Interesting to know it was at Knott's Berry Farm. I think their photo did coincide with a trip to California.
Interesting blast from the past!!..and awkward as heck!
I swear to god that looks like my grandma's head.
OMG This freaked me out!! My Grandparents have the EXACT same pic and I always thought it was horrifying! LOL
Its NOT fake….and its NOT a hole cut-out…its just something you stand behind and lean your head on! haha
Just noticed what Min wrote….I too think my Grandparents had it taken in SoCal during a visit!

Erik Edman is in the frame for a return in tomorrow's Barclays Premiership clash at Manchester City.
The Swedish full-back has missed our last three games after limping off at half-time at Aston Villa with an ankle problem.
But he's made good progress and Head Coach Martin Jol reported on Thursday: "Erik Edman trained today, first team training this week and could be in the squad as long as he has no problems on Friday.
"Goran Bunjevcevic is back in training and doing well and Anthony Gardner, he's had trouble with his injuries, but now he's back and that gives us more options."
However, Martin revealed on Thursday that Robbie Keane had been suffering from a knee problem - which could be bad news with Jermain Defoe suspended.
Reto Ziegler (hamstring), Sean Davis (knee) and Simon Davies (virus) are also out.
If Robbie does miss out, Martin hinted that Eddie Silva Sousa or Mark Yeates could get a call.
"I have several options," said Martin. "I have Silva Sousa and Mark Yeates, who has played well in the second team and perhaps other midfield players playing higher up.
"Eddie is a skilful player, big, six foot one, good in the box but it's dfferent in the second team.
"Yeates has been the best player in the second team for the last couple of games, has quick feet and got his chance last season, so everyone knows him."

What would you do if you learned that two weeks from now a man repeatedly accused of aggressive sexual misconduct may decide whether women have the power to confront people who discriminate against them?
On March 29th, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Wal-Mart v. Dukes, the largest civil rights case in the history of the country. The decision in this case could bring women's progress to a grinding halt; and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may be the deciding vote. Yes, a man whose public debut was defined by accusations of egregious sexual misconduct could decide the economic future of women across the country. Can a man reportedly "obsessed with porn" who "spoke of (sex) acts he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals . . . or rape scenes" act as an effective arbiter of sex discrimination at work? And if not, what can be done about it?
The specific issue in Wal-Mart v. Dukes is whether or not 1 million female employees of the giant retailer can be considered a class. Because it is only the threat of action by a group (in legal terms a 'class') that makes illegal bias economically un-viable for large corporations, the outcome of this case is paramount. It is significantly cheaper to bury a single employee in legal fees and continue the illegal pay disparity than it is to pay male and female employees equal pay for equal work. As a 'class', the women will have substantial power to confront the company's illegal bias against them; without class designation, they will not.
Lillian McEwen, a former long-term girlfriend of Thomas, recently released a memoir that sheds new light on the Justice's personality and his casual misogyny. Largely ignored by the media, McEwan's account bolsters Anita Hill's stories of Thomas' behavior in the workplace describing how Thomas made a hobby of "sizing up" women at work. McEwan details Thomas' obsession with pornography, which she calls "just a part of his personality structure." In interviews, Ms. McEwan says that pornography, and the attitudes that accompany it, were not relegated to Thomas' private life. According to Ms. McEwen, Thomas "allowed his interest in pornography to bleed into his professional relationships." By McEwan's telling, for this Justice, bias and a penchant for disempowering women did not disappear when the DVD stopped.
The science around pornography is hardly complete, however many studies have shown that it increases bias against women. At the very least, it seems illogical that it would decrease one's bias. A review published in The Journal of Sex Research cites a study where college men and women were shown a variety of film clips and then asked to recommend sentencing for a convicted rapist. Students exposed to sexualized violence usually supported shorter sentences. Another study measured male subjects' "rape-myth acceptance", finding that subjects exposed to violent, sexually explicit images were more likely to agree with sentiments like - "women who dress a certain way are asking for it". By that logic, does wearing a skirt also mean women are asking to be paid substantially less than male counterparts for doing the same work?
Even the most cursory examination of Thomas' professional life indicates that while Anita Hill became the most famous of Thomas' victims, she was hardly the only one to suffer his peccadilloes. Unless something is done, millions more women will also suffer those effects. So in addition to substantiating Hill's account of Thomas' anti-woman bias, Ms. McEwan's account re-opens the door to questions that were not properly examined during the Anita Hill hearings. Questions like: should a person with a documented history of bias against a group of people be allowed judge cases that will enable that same bias?
Is there any basis for preventing a person who holds a particular bias to judge a case involving that same bias? Actually, yes. In 2008, then New Jersey Governor Corzine withdrew the reappointment of Judge Fred Kaiser Jr., a Superior Court Judge from Middlesex Country, who directed an anti-Asian slur at a defendant. The Asian American Bar Association, and (dare we hope most Americans?) applauded that move. Kaiser is not the only Judge to leave the bench in shame after making a biased and incendiary statement - a suburban Chicago judge also resigned after being caught using anti-black slurs at the scene of a traffic accident. Leaving the bench for racial slurs but not for sexual ones? Seems a little (eh-hem) biased, doesn't it? When will women - and the men who care about them - demand that prejudice against women be as damning a characteristic of a public official as prejudices of other kinds? If we would step forward against a judge with a history of anti-Semitism, or racism, shouldn't we step forward now?
Will we demand the removal of a man with a troubling and corroborated history of prejudice against a specific group of people or will we endorse his prejudice by continuing to allow him to serve on the Supreme Court?

Cher Wang (traditional Chinese: 王雪紅; simplified Chinese: 王雪红; pinyin: Wáng Xuěhóng; 15 September 1958) is a Taiwanese entrepreneur and philanthropist born in Taipei, Taiwan. As co-founder and chairperson (since 2007[1]) of HTC Corporation (which manufactured one out of every six smartphones sold in the United States) and integrated chipset maker VIA Technologies.

Wang asserted that the Award was contrary to public policy, but as evidence in court shown that VIA product- VT3421 anti-hack chip (also named asTF376), suspected in assisting the Chinese government of surveilling mobile devices of anti-communist individual and against Human Right. VIA executives Li Shaolun (Steven S. Lee) admitted in the proceedings thad VIA chips did have "back door" . Evidenced the United States former NSA employee Edward Joseph Snowden disclosed to the international media in Hong Kong around June ,2013. The US government secretly built a "PRISM" program which is a global network monitoring, surveillance in computers, mobile phones and networking devices which serious invades the privacy; Oliver Stone directed and was co-screenwriting with Kieran Fitzgerald made the Snowden Story into a 2016 American political thriller Movie :"Snowden storm". The Hong Kong HKIAC sentenced VIA with compensation .[10] After hearing before the Justice Mimmie Chan, the High Court of Hong Kong, she believed the Award was in violation of Hong Kong's public order and morals.

Within past six years , only one ten thousandth (0.012%)of the assets allocated to the social welfare fund. Wang's Charity Foundations are holding eight investment companies' stocks with market value of over US$2 billion. However, only US$ twenty-seven thousand(427,000) has actually donated for charity. [12]
In 2011 Wang donated US$28.1 million to help found Guizhou Forerunner College, a charitable college in southwest China set up by VIA Technologies' non-profit Faith-Hope-Love Foundation.[13] The not-for-profit college aims to provide three years of free or low-cost education to students from low-income families. Wang has stated that if the college proves successful she may well set up additional similar institutions in other parts of the country.
Wang has also made significant donations to the University of California, Berkeley, including funding to support and enhance the prestigious American Physical Society's Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize, given to researchers who make considerable contributions to the field of condensed-matter physics.[14]
Wang and Chen also provide funding to support a collaborative program between the psychology departments at UC Berkeley and Tsinghua University in Beijing.[15] The Berkeley-Tsinghua Program for the Advanced Study in Psychology aims to create and support collaborative, psychological research between faculty and students from both universities.
In August 2012 Wang donated 6,000 HTC Flyer tablet PCs to 60 high schools in Taipei.[16]

text: So we played Columbia again tonight. Really I guess it was the first time. We opened for Winston Audio about a month ago and it was awesome. Tonight was the new music night and we got on the bill and killed it. Kent and I may have been a bit tipsy. It is not confirmed yet but either way it was a blast. We made some new friends and hopefully got the opportunity to book more shows. The last time we played it was pouring and the venue had multiple leaks with one right over the stage. Not just the general stage but the exact place I was standing. If i moved the water would drop right on my pedal board or worse right on my Tele pickups. Not awesome was the feeling of the chance of electrocution but I played and survived. Tonight we pulled up to the venue and guess what, rain. It was raining again but not as bad. After talking to the sound guy I felt much better when he told me they had fixed a lot of the leaks and the stage no longer was a sieve but an actual roof. Anyway I guess good things come to those who wait, so columbia we're coming back and we are going to rock it over and over again. Hope you are ready because we are. See you soon!

Oscar Pistorius today expressed delight at being handed a chance to add to his medal collection after South Africa were given a place in the 4x400metres relay final on appeal.
Pistorius was due to run the third leg in this morning's heats but did not even get his hands on the baton after team-mate Ofentse Mogawane collided with Kenya's Vincent Mumu Kiilu around the top bend on the second leg.
Both athletes were sent sprawling to the track and although Kiilu was able to resume running, Mogawane suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder and could not carry on.
The Kenyan team were disqualified and South Africa lodged a successful appeal which saw them added to tomorrow's final in lane nine. LJ van Zyl will replace Mogawane in the quartet.
"IT'S ON!! We in the FINAL," double amputee Pistorius wrote on Twitter. "Team management Protested as Ofentse was taken out and we have been given Lane 9!! Thank you Lord! Emotional roller coaster!"
Pistorius won a silver medal in the relay at the World Championships in Daegu last year, although he was not selected for the final after running in the heats.
Speaking of the incident, before the appeal was made, Pistorius said: "I was standing there and I took my eyes off the screen and kept them on the straight and obviously just as I took them off it must have happened.
"He's not the biggest of guys and initially I thought he was maybe pushed in behind someone and then I just carried on looking and he didn't come out. It's really tough at the moment. I feel sorry for my team-mates, they're a phenomenal group of guys.
"It's just really disappointing for us because we came off a second place at the World Champs last year and a national record and we've got more or less the same team."
As for his own experience of the Games, Pistorius added: "It's been absolutely phenomenal, just stepping out there again today on the track in front of a crowd like this has been awesome.
"This whole experience has just been mind-blowing for me, I can't describe it in so many words, I'll be speaking for days."
The Bahamas and the United States were the fastest qualifiers after being given the same time of 2:58.87 in heat two, ahead of Trinidad and Tobago and Great Britain who were also given the same time of 3:00.38 in heat one.
Elsewhere, it took almost two hours to determine the 12 qualifiers for Saturday's final of the women's high jump.
With 14 athletes still in contention when the bar was raised to the automatic qualification standard of 1.96m, lively discussions started between athletes and officials to determine if the additional height would be required to make the cut.
After careful study of the standings, all seven athletes without a failure decided to pass as they were guaranteed to be in the top 12, with three athletes with only one failure doing the same.
That left four women battling for two places and former world junior champion Svetlana Radzivil of Uzbekistan cleared 1.96m at the first attempt to book her place. Germany's Ariane Friedrich and Greece's Adonia Steryiou had three failures at 1.96m, leaving Russia's Irina Gordeeva to advance courtesy of having just one failure against Friedrich's two at 1.93m.
World record holder Ashton Eaton will take a 222-point lead into the remaining two events of the decathlon after responding well to the challenge of team-mate Trey Hardee.
Eaton began the second day with a 220-point lead over Hardee, but after the pair ran almost identical times in the 110m hurdles - Eaton 13.56 and Hardee 13.54 - world champion Hardee closed the gap to just 99 points with a superb throw of 48.26m in the discus compared to 42.53m from Eaton.
However Eaton hit back to clear 5.20m in the lengthy pole vault competition to restore his comfortable cushion as Hardee could only manage 4.80m.
The javelin and dreaded 1,500m take place this evening.

It's time to learn the name Lydia Ko. The 15-year-old golfer is number one in golf's amateur division, and recently won her third professional tournament at the New Zealand Women's Open.
This marks the latest chapter in an impressive 13-month streak for Ko. She became the youngest player to win a professional event at the New South Wales Open and then went on to be the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour at the Canadian Open. This latest victory has a special place in the Koren-born New Zealander's heart, though, because she won the tournament at home.
"It was a pretty good day out there, and I'm pretty excited to have my name on this trophy. I didn't cry at the Canadian Open, so I've got no idea why I cried here. I guess it meant more," she tells the Associated Press. "It's our national open, so to win it means a lot. I'm not the sort of person who shows expression or feelings that much but I guess I did here."

a simple product, but with "i = 1...n AND i != x"
hi, i would like to make a function like f[x_] := Product[x - i, {i, 1, n} AND i != x} obviously, the end of the expression is syntactically incorrect. But how to rewrite this product correctly? thanks
