Eric's Awesome Con Pics, a guest post
My name is Eric and I have been shooting amateur photography for over six years off and on. I normally shoot up in Columbia Height, DC is a private studio (really really small). I completely agree with the the creator of Awesome Con that the DC area has been under served by comic book conventions so in my own little way I hope this support the hometown convention.
I am hoping to make contact with the various convention cosplay attendees so that I can email back their image(s). I snapped approximately 1200 images at the convention and now I am editing it down to one image per cosplayer to post to
and Flickr. If you are a cosplayer that would like their respective image emailed to them (or really anything else people would like to communicate about such as Photoshop talk or setting up a shoot) then the best way to contact me is through my email (

Meet a Local Comics Writer: Shawn Padraic Murphy
I met Shawn Padraic Murphy at Awesome Con this spring. He writes comic book scripts and hires artists to illustrate them. As a college student also did a webcomic,
Wesleyan World.
He's currently writing a series of blog posts
How Not To Make Money In Comic Books.
He promptly answered my usual questions (and as usual I'm much less prompt in posting them).
Mike Rhode: What type of comic work or cartooning do you do?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I am a writer, and work with artists to make my comic books.
Mike Rhode: How do you do it? How did you find an artist for your books? What kind of script do you provide?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: When I first started, it was a chance meeting with a grad school friend who was already working on a comic book for a friend and was interested in doing another one, and we worked together on a script I had already written. But to start working on more comics, I was sort of at a lose (espcially since I graduated and had just moved to the Baltimore/DC area 1 year prior). I met someone who told me about DigitalWebbing.Com and how they had a forum just for writers that were trying to hire artists. I sumbitted a description of 3 different titles I needed work on, and placed the ad up for 3 days (what was recommended). Then, after 3 days, I closed the forum and looked over the 120 submissions I had. That took a while sifting through them all to find a style that matched the story I wanted to tell. Since then, however, I've hired my artists throug the con scene by hoarding business cards and entering their name and website into a database so I can look for artists that match the type of storying I'm trying to tell quickly when I have a new project.
I've always used a script that breaks down the panels and describes in detail what's happening in each scene and panel. In only one comic (
) have I ever just summed up what was happening on the page without panels and left the panel layout and number of panels to the artist, but I think that kind of format is rare.
Mike Rhode: When (within a decade is fine) and where were you born?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I was raised in Scott Depot, WV in 1982.
Mike Rhode: Why are you in Washington now? What neighborhood or area do you live in?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: After I obtained my MFA in Creative Writing, I needed to move from Southampton, NY, as there was nothing there you could do in terms of jobs unless you were a contruction worker, retail, or had money to buy mansions. Luckily, I happen to have a friend in Baltimore that needed a roommate soon, and Baltimore and DC were close enough that it seemed it would be easier to find a job with 2 different cities close by (this was 2007, by the way; less than a year before the recession, and before MFA's now meant basically nothing).
Mike Rhode: What is your training and/or education in cartooning?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I had an undergrad degree in English & Psychology at West Virginia Weslyan College at Buckhannon, WV, then went to Southampton College (now closed) in Southampton, NY and got an MFA in Creative Writing, which I thought would help get me writing or editing jobs for magazines or corporations. Unfortunately, the recession hit less than a year after I graduated and business started not to care about writing as a whole and I couldn't find anything, despite having an MFA. Luckily, I did find a job eventually (not writing related), so I could actually have funds to pay artists to draw for my comics.
Mike Rhode: What local cons do you attend? The Small Press Expo, Intervention, or others? Any comments about attending them?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I've attended many conventions now, such as Small Press Expo, Baltimore Comic Con, SPACE, HeroesCon, and AwesomeCon. I'll be attending Intervention for the first time this year (and hopefully Otakon; I'm going to be attending more Anime conventions next year). I find that anime and indi comic places are good to sell comics and meet with other artists and writers, but found that the big superhero cons like Baltimore Comic Con usually only contain people who want to meet celebrities or buy fan art, so I don't try to go to those often.
Mike Rhode: Who are your influences?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I got into comics with The Death of Superman, but stayed around because of the Spider-Man Clone Saga. I really liked serialized storytelling then. As I grew up, though, I found out about a lot more mature and serious works and realized you could do more than just superheroes. I really enjoyed the indi comics I discovered in the early 2000s that covered virtually every subject they wanted (you couldn't find those in WV when I was growing up; there was no internet info about them, and all the comic stores closed in 1996, leaving mail-order the only way to read comics). When I write my comics, I try to ask myself for each project if this is different than something else I've read or seen, because I want to create something new and exciting for people to experience the way I enjoyed discovering different types of stories as a kid.
What work are you best-known for?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: At conventions, the comic book I am most known for is "The End" a series that focuses on how regular people deal with the coming end of the world in 7 days. Each issue has 2, stand-alone, stories. People enjoy the series for the variety of the stories. Plus, each issue has a different theme, so people can start with a theme they like on any issue, rather than starting from the begining like in most other comics.
Mike Rhode: What work are you most proud of?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I'm actually proud of them all, because I like the fact that I can write such completely different stories and be able to show that I can write anything (I hope that's not just my ego talking). I have a slice-of-life anthology (
The End
), a mature superhero story that addresses our societies double-standard concering nudity and shaming (
), an experimental diary comic (
), and an all-age fantasy (
Mike Rhode: What would you like to do or work on in the future?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I already have the next 3 comics planned that I want to work on. I'm working on a superhero/romance comic right now with an artist. I've written another all-ages comic and a completely different fantasy comic, but those last two are only finished at the script stage as I'm trying to finish up the comics I am already currently working on.
Mike Rhode: What do you think will be the future of your field?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: I'm not sure. I know that local printers and easy access to technology have made it easier to make my comics in print. I'm hoping digital comics makes it easier to get your comics out to the public since everyone is connected throug the pad and phones now.
Mike Rhode: Do you have a website or blog?
Shawn Padraic Murphy: My website is
. My "Comics" tab contains links to descriptions of my comics and preview art, as well as links to purchase my comics. I also have some video reviews, comedy skits, video game reviews, and recently I posted a short novella about playing a video game as if I was that character; I pretty much like to write and create anything.

Awesome Con day 1 is a success
District Comics panelists - Art Haupt, Rafer Roberts, Mike Cowgill, Andrew Cohen, Jacob Warrenfeltz, Mike Rhode, Carolyn Belefski and Troy-Jeffrey Allen.
The Con sold out of tickets by about 3 pm on Saturday. They had a good mix of people, and it was bustling. Lots of cartoonists tell me they did well. Nick Galifianakis sold out of his book. Dan Nokes made his table money back in an hour. John Gallagher and Steve Conley were always busy. Bill McKay's commission list went into tomorrow. Shannon Gallant seemed to stay busy with commissions too. Troy-Jeffrey Allen and Jay Payne launched Bamn #4.
Carolyn Belefski was interviewed by Comic Riffs
today too.
The District Comics panel had about 40 people in it, despite being opposite the costume judging contest. I think this has the potential to be similar to Baltimore CC in a few years.
BTW, New Jerseyan Jeff Shultz is selling his Archie pages for $20 each. I bought a nice volleyball page.

West Bend Hi-Rise 41300 Review
Capable of turning out four loaf sizes between 1 and 2.5 pounds, this budget bread maker features 11 settings and a delay timer. It's an excellent choice for consumers who want horizontal loaves suitable for sandwiches.
Bread lovers seeking high-end functionality in a budget-end bread maker are drawn to the West Bend Hi-Rise 41300 (starting at $79, Amazon). Reviews of the West Bend Hi-Rise posted at Walmart laud the tasty, light, and good looking loaves; dual mixing/kneading paddles; and user-friendly controls. Consumers tell of its time-saving virtues and quiet operation, although a few West Bend Hi-Rise 41300 reviews mention dough clumping at one end of the pan, a minor problem that's remedied by a quick intervention (open the machine and re-position the dough). At Bed Bath & Beyond users' West Bend Hi-Rise 41300 reviews likewise pronounce this bread maker a find, citing the perfect results and clear improvement over the traditional, manual process. A veteran bread machine user deems it one of the best ever in a West Bend Hi-Rise 41300 review at Amazon, and specifically commends its ability to handle dense ingredients. Consumers also like the horizontal orientation of the pan, which yields a loaf that looks suitable for sandwiches.
The West Bend Hi-Rise features 11 settings, including several for different types of bread (basic, French, whole wheat, sweet, quick, and sandwich), one each for dough, jam, and bake, two for faster cycles, and one for "homemade." This latter function, more commonly found on upmarket models, gives users the ability to customize the cycles (kneading, rising, and baking) for a more artisanal touch. Users can also choose among three crust shades and set a delay start for up to 13 hours. The West Bend Hi-Rise produces horizontal loaves weighing 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5 pounds. It uses two mixing/kneading paddles simultaneously and a dual-loaf pan that's sold separately means two loaves can be prepared at once.
Where to buy
One downside to the West Bend Hi-Rise is the manual. Some users say it's tough going and the recipes don't always work out. But with a little experimentation, even these detractors turn out fresh, flavorful, and high quality loaves. And the others -- their appetite for fresh and healthy bread was sated from the get-go.

RCMP say Parksville stabbing 'not a random act'
A 34-year-old man was sent to hospital with a collapsed lung after what police are calling a targeted stabbing in Parksville at approximately 1.30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6.
According to Oceanside RCMP, the victim, who is known to police, was walking along Corfield Street towards downtown Parksville when he was allegedly approached by two males in their late twenties to early thirties.
"This incident was not a random act," said Oceanside RCMP Sgt. Eric Rochette.
According to an RCMP press release, a confrontation ensued amongst the three men resulting in the victim being punched in the face and stabbed in the back. The victim fled the scene and flagged down a passing driver, who gave him a ride to a nearby gas station. The victim then returned to his residence and reported the incident to police.
The male was taken to hospital with a collapsed lung, but Mounties said they expect he will make a full recovery.
Police say the victim offered few details of the incident for their investigation.
RCMP would like to speak with the driver who reportedly picked up the victim.
Rochette said the public "should not be fearful to enjoy their community" as a result of this incident.
If you have any information about this crime, police ask that you call the Serious Crimes Section at the Oceanside RCMP, 250-248-6111, or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

One killed, at least 14 wounded in Ohio nightclub shooting - CNN
One person was killed and at least 14 people were wounded in a shooting at a nightclub in Cincinnati, Ohio, early on Sunday, CNN reported, citing police.
DUBAI Iran's foreign minister said on Monday a way must be found to end the deadlock with major powers over its nuclear programme, an Iranian news agency reported, but he offered no new initiative on how to achieve this.
Ali Akbar Salehi's comments came ahead of an expected resumption of diplomacy, perhaps next month, aimed at preventing the decade-old nuclear dispute from degenerating into a Middle East war that could damage an already fragile world economy.
Israel, widely believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed power, has threatened military action to prevent its arch-enemy from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran denies any such goal and says it would hit back hard if attacked.
"The two sides (Iran and world powers) have reached a conclusion that they must exit the current stalemate," Salehi was quoted as saying by the Iranian Students' News Agency.
The West suspects Iran is trying to develop the means to build atomic bombs under the cover of a declared civilian nuclear energy programme. The Islamic Republic says it is enriching uranium as fuel for civilian energy, not bombs.
Iran and the six powers - the United States, Russia, France, China, Britain and Germany - have expressed readiness to revive efforts to find a negotiated solution. But Salehi said he did not know when the next meeting would be held.
The powers, known as P5+1, said last week they hoped soon to agree with Iran on when and where to meet. There have been suggestions it could happen already this month, though January now seems more likely, Western officials say.
Analysts and diplomats believe there is a window of opportunity for a new diplomatic initiative with Iran after last month's re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama.
The powers want Iran to scale back its uranium enrichment programme and cooperate fully with U.N. nuclear inspectors.
The priority for Iran, a major oil producer, is for the West to lift punitive sanctions increasingly hurting its economy.
Three rounds of negotiations earlier this year - the last one in Moscow in June - failed to achieve a breakthrough.
The big powers have prepared an updated version of package that was rejected by Tehran in the previous talks, Western diplomats say, without giving details.
Their immediate priority is for Iran to halt higher-grade enrichment that could relatively quickly be further processed to bomb-grade material, close the Fordow underground plant where this work is carried out and ship out the stockpile.
Iran has hinted at flexibility regarding its enrichment to a fissile concentration of 20 percent, but it wants substantial sanctions easing in return, something the powers say would be premature before Tehran makes significant concessions.
Iran also wants recognition of what it says is its "right" to refine uranium, which can have both civilian and military purposes. "Iran demands its inalienable, legal and legitimate right and wants nothing more," Salehi said.
One Western official said it was too early to say whether the new diplomatic attempt may yield results: "We see that sanctions do have an economic impact on Iran and it is a matter for Iran to really take this offer seriously."
Iran's economic minister was quoted on Sunday saying the country's oil revenues had been cut in half as a result of sanctions.
Another Western diplomat said the powers were increasingly concerned about Iran's expanded enrichment capacity at Fordow, and wanted to address this issue in the new proposal. This could mean, he said, asking Iran to partially dismantle the facility.
"Shutting Fordow is not enough," the diplomat said, adding it would take longer to restart the facility if the enrichment installations had been taken apart.
The world powers hope to gain momentum in dealings with Iran by introducing "confidence-building measures" before approaching a final agreement at a later date, diplomats say.
They say the powers are likely to offer Iran some form of sanctions relief in return but any measures may be limited.
Salehi spoke a few days after the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran both said progress was made in talks last Thursday on resuming a long-stalled IAEA investigation into suspected atomic bomb research in the country.
A senior Iranian legislator said on Monday that Iran would expect some sanctions relief in return for granting IAEA inspectors access to the disputed Parchin military complex.
The IAEA believes Iran has conducted explosives tests with possible nuclear applications at Parchin, a facility southeast of the Iranian capital, and has repeatedly asked for access.
"They must certainly give some incentive in return, and in my opinion a reasonable and equal incentive would be lifting the sanctions," said Alaeddin Boroujerdi, who chairs the national security and foreign policy committee in the Iranian parliament.

Three local artists take the spotlight in Franklin Square Gallery's new Members Show running from May 12 to June 19. Painters Susan Sokolowski and Ann Thompson and potter Eileen Gordon will be featured in this new exhibit by the members of the Associated Artists of Southport .
Their diverse styles are the culmination of years of experience and recent classes and workshops, yet each still reflects on her continuing passion for art.
Susan Sokolowski's detailed oil paintings often capture the immediacy of a scene because many are created from her own photographs.

The story repeats, in more than a sense. You play the role of a freelancer sniper with a golden heart who only accepts to kill bad guys and evil doers. You have to fulfill every mission you receive in order to earn money and purchase better equipment to undertake more difficult and risky missions.
Missions usually consist of different stages where we will often camp from a roof or wherever and kill any enemies showing up, but we can also find ourselves trapped on the ground looking for cover and killing enemies softly throwing knives at them or even making use of melee attacks, which are an addition regarding Contract Killer 1.
Graphics are great, though not outstanding comparing to other similar titles, even some enemy animations seem a little bit outdated. Anyway it's a great game enjoyable by all fans of the genre, if not for the freemium formula, which urges to upkeep upgrading your equipment every other time through relatively expensive in-app purchases, to the point of saying that we would preferred a closed $2 or $3 paid version instead of this "free plus whatever you might buy" version.
On the other hand, voices and sound effects are awesome, and missions are quite varied and make up a somehow linear gameplay and a lackluster story. Experience system and badge collection are well balanced and there are several welcomed customization options.
In conclusion, here we have an awesome top-notch sniper game requiring a truly high end device, a long previous download and a series of equipment purchases in order to advance beyond the very first levels (several hours of gameplay anyway).

Listen to Sam Smith discuss the Detroit Auto Show on SiriusXM
The show airs tomorrow and Sunday.
Our Executive Editor, Sam Smith, has a personal fleet of cars that sometimes makes me sick with envy. He's also hilarious and distressingly knowledgeable about cars and the industry as a whole. Put him in a room with personalities like Vanity Fair car columnist Brett Berk, the chief engineers of the C7 Corvette and 2015 Mustang, and Pete Brock (who designed the legendary Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe), and you have the makings of either a knockdown argument or an excellent radio segment.
Thankfully, we got the latter. If you're a SiriusXM subscriber, you can catch the show on Indie (Ch. 104) on Saturday, January 18, at 11am EST. If you miss it, they'll air it again on Sunday, January 19, at 9am EST and 5pm EST. After that, it'll be available on demand.
There are two clips below from the show to whet your appetite.

Galactic Barn Burner
Anyone have an extra MOMC UGH McChewie? I'm about to spend $12 to have one shipped to me.
I found absolutely NO Star Wars stuff while in China... but just got back to Encino a few minutes ago and have a wall of boxes from EE and Hasbrotoys.com to open. It's like Christmas!
Hit the wrong TRU this morning! Burbank had a whole lot of dusty nuthin'. The TF section was full to bursting -- looked like newish stuff. Also stopped by Burbank Target, and saw even less than what Toonimator described. Almost everything he mentioned was cleared out.
This morning at City of Hawthorne TRU, me, my buddy, and a new guy were 1st to the SW section. My buddy grabbed a McSolo and the new guy I didn't know was nice enough to give me an extra McSolo he found. There was also a bunch of wave 5 and 7 left after we were done, but no more MCSolos or Starkillers.
Dropped by Alhambra TRU just before lunchtime... given the time of day, I was surprised to find 1 Concept Solo and 2 Concept Vader... bought Solo and 1 Vader, left the other one. Pegs were a little lightweight but they did have a Cargo Net R2 and a few other things. TF Deluxe section was the fullest I've seen it for months, including Jazz, Arcee, Brawl etc. They had heaps of the $20 vehicles but they are all shelved 9 feet off the ground (why???) and, of course, are $25.
The nearby Target was a bit disappointing, none of the new Battle Packs although they had a few of the ARC-170 elite squads, and Betrayal on Bespin (not sure how new that one is).
When I got back I realised my Concept Solo has a bent card, so if anyone wants one to open I'm happy to pass him on. I'll be in town until Wednesday evening.
I got the last of my Target exclusives this morning. I've had to drop some $$$ to do so, but in the last few days I've got -
Hoth BP
Endor BP
WOW or never is right!!!
Aussie, you have a PM!
Thanks to Crunchy and his magical list of DPCI numbers, I picked up the AT-RT Assault Squad at Target today. I usually don't go for vehicles, but I really wanted that dang Clone Commander!
TRU La Cienega had the Hermie wave. No Malak, two Revans,.. no McFigures at all... is that a revision case or did the Mcfigs possibly go out the back door??
Couple of dudes there to grab the Rock Band PS3/XBox game.
Hide it, Post it, and PM it.

So far, we've run the gamut from Pop Art to Water Beads and Tapestry & Mosaic. What are you???
Kate Winslet and 30's clothing/design glamour means we'll be glued to the TV on Sunday when mini series Midred Pierce premieres on HBO, but this ecclectic side table round-up from Casa Sugar will hold us over till then!

In Powder River Basin Resource Council v. Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the Wyoming Supreme Court held that the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has the burden of justifying the use of trade secrets exemption from revealing the contents of hydraulic fracturing chemicals. The court also required the WOGCC, when deciding what a "trade secret" is, to apply the definition under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
The Background
In 2010, Wyoming was the first state to require reporting of chemicals used in fracking. However, a company can petition for a "trade secret" exemption from the law to shield itself from public disclosure of frac fluid ingredients. The state's 2010 fracking chemical disclosure rule requires full disclosure of the ingredients under the Wyoming Public Records Act. WOGCC has granted more than a hundred such exemptions. Environmental and landowner groups challenged the WOGCC's justification for granting those exemptions. The district court ruled for the WOGCC, upholding the agency's decision that information be withheld and deferring determination of what constitutes a trade secret to the WOGCC. The plaintiffs appealed.
The Decision
The Supreme Court reversed. Under the Wyoming Public Records Act, the district court must independently determine the merits of the exemption rather than to rely on the WOGC's determination. The district court must individually examine the information requests and apply the definition of "trade secrets" found in the FOIA, which includes a "secret, commercially valuable plan, formula, process, or devise that is used for the making, preparing, compounding, or processing of trade commodities and that can be said to be the end product of either innovation or substantial effort." The Court also placed the burden on the WOGC to justify its use of trade secrets exemptions. The case was remanded and the district court was ordered to review the exemptions in light of the ruling.
The Implications
Although the Court did not decide the question of whether individual chemicals can constitute trade secrets, the definition of "trade secrets" to be applied in such determinations is narrower than the one previously applied by WOGCC. It requires that there be a "direct relationship between the trade secret and the productive process." As such, it may result in a higher burden on companies that request trade secret protection. It is uncertain, however, whether this will lead to additional protections or have any impact on hydraulic fracturing operations in Wyoming.
Our musical interlude brings us as close to Wyoming as we could find, geographically at least.

4.3: Optimization
This activity is intended to supplement Calculus, Chapter 3, Lesson 7.
Time required: 45 minutes
Activity Overview
Students will learn how to use the second derivative test to find maxima and minima in word problems and solve optimization problems in parametric functions.
Topic: Application of Derivatives
Find the maximum or minimum value of a function in an optimization problem by finding its critical points and applying the second derivative test. Use Solve (in the Algebra menu) to check the solution to \begin{align*}f'(x) = 0\end{align*}
f′(x)=0 . - Use the command fMin or fMax to verify a manually computed extremum.
- Solve optimization problems involving parametric functions.
Teacher Preparation and Notes
- This investigation uses FMax and fMin to answer questions. Students will have to take derivatives and solve on their own.
Before starting this activity, students should go to the home screen and select \begin{align*}F6\end{align*}
F6 :Clean Up > 2:NewProb, then press ENTER. This will clear any stored variables, turn off any functions and plots, and clear the drawing and home screens. - This activity is designed to be student-centered with the teacher acting as a facilitator while students work cooperatively.
Associated Materials
- Student Worksheet: Optimization http://www.ck12.org/flexr/chapter/9728, scroll down to third activity.
Problem 1 – Optimization of distance and area
Students will graph the equation \begin{align*}y = 4x + 7\end{align*}
They are to rewrite the function using one variable: \begin{align*}s = \sqrt{x^2 + (4x + 7)^2} = \sqrt{17x^2 + 56x + 49}\end{align*}
To find the exact coordinates of the point, students will take the first derivative (Menu > Calculus > Derivative), and solve for the critical value (Menu > Algebra > Solve), and take the second derivative. Since the second derivative is always positive, there a minimum at the critical value of \begin{align*}x = - \frac{28}{17}\end{align*}
To find the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}
Students are to maximize the function \begin{align*}A = l \cdot w\end{align*}
Students will take the first derivative and solve to find the critical value is \begin{align*}w = 50\end{align*}
The maximum area is \begin{align*}2500 \ m^2\end{align*}
Problem 2 – Optimization of time derivative problems
Remind students to use \begin{align*}t\end{align*}
The boat heading north is going from the right angle to the point northward. Its position equation is \begin{align*}y = 20t\end{align*}
The boat heading west is going to the right angle. At 1 pm, it is one hour from the arrival time 2 pm so it is 15 km away. Its position equation is \begin{align*}x = 15 - 15t\end{align*}
Students are to minimize the distance function \begin{align*}s = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{(15 - 15t)^2 + (20t)^2}\end{align*}
There is a restriction of \begin{align*}0 < t < 1\end{align*}
The time at which the distance between the boats is minimized is \begin{align*}\left (\frac{9}{25}\right ) \cdot 60 = 21.6\end{align*}
Extension – Parametric Function
To rewrite the parametric equations, students will need to know that \begin{align*} \sin(30^\circ) = 0.5\end{align*} and \begin{align*} \cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\end{align*}.
To find when the projectile hits the ground, students are to set \begin{align*}y = 0\end{align*} and solve. (\begin{align*}t = 0\end{align*} and \begin{align*}t = 51.02\end{align*}). Substituting these values into the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} function gives how far away it lands (22,092.5 units). Students can find the maximum height when \begin{align*}\frac{dy}{dt} = 0 \ (t \approx 25.51)\end{align*}. Substituting this value in the function for \begin{align*}y\end{align*} students should get 3188.78 units high.

Skip the big, cavernous movie theater complex for a night and head instead to Electric Dusk Drive-In for something a little different. Settle in on the astroturf amidst the downtown L.A. city lights and watch the classic 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire. Disturbed Blanche DuBois (Vivian Leigh) moves in with her sister (Kim Hunter) in New Orleans during a steamy 1940s summer and is tormented by her brutish brother-in-law (Marlon Brando) while her vision of reality crumbles around her. It's a landmark drama of the culture clash between the Old South and the rising urban working class. Brando's performance has been cited as one of the most influential in the history of American cinema, and the film won four Oscars.

Original/UK Title: Gideon the Cutpurse American Title: The Time Travelers Author: Linda Buckley-Archer Published: Simon & Schuster, 2006 Genre: Young adult fantasy/science fiction
Gideon the Cutpurse is the first in the The Gideon Trilogy, sometimes called The Enlightenment of Peter Schock series. It is rather popular at the moment, although not major-movie-deal popular. For the most part it is a rather standard pseudo-science fiction time travelling story, written at the reading level that would have gotten it placed in the children's section in my youth, being intended for children of perhaps 10-14.
The story centers around two modern-day children, Peter Schock and Kate Dyer, who are sent backwards in time due to a freak science-lab mishap. They are taken under the wing of a quite pleasant and personable cutpurse, who has seen the errors of his ways and means to lead a blameless life henceforth. The story alternates between the present day, where the children's parents, police, and an elite team of theoretical physicists are searching for them, and 1763, where the kids are having a number of somewhat unlikely adventures.
The story is comparatively dramatic for a children's book, with thieves and murderers and children stranded centuries from home. It does not, however, fall into the trap of thinking that children need to have a constant soap opera of escalating angst to remain entertained. The descriptions of 18th century life and customs are vivid and engaging, and and if the characters are a bit trite, at least they are not boring.
This is an okay book, but I doubt that it is destined to be a classic. For the most part the story is well-written and engaging, but every so often a confusing paragraph will appear and derail the reader. The author seems to have a clear idea in her head, but has trouble communicating what she means to the reader -- not a good thing in any case, but particularly vexing in a children's book. This is also a pretty good historical novel, with a good description of life in the 1700s and a smattering of historical curiosities. Because of this it is popular in the American school system as a particularly 'educational' piece of fiction. It is not quite as well-researched as I would like, and a few folk legends are presented as truth, but the few inaccuracies are forgivable -- particularly in a children's fiction book.
The other books in the series are The Time Thief and The Time Quake.
The Time Travelers is available on Google books. (It is also available under the title Cideon the Cutpurse, which tells you something about Google Books.)

Women's Soccer Back To Winning Ways With 3-1 Victory Over Saint Joseph's
Warner Lands 11th Goal While Kain And Minnich Contribute With Their Second
Oct. 18, 2002
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Though the match was evenly fought on Finnesey Field, the Colonials got the upper hand on the Hawks during a critical 35 second spurt. In the 68th minute, the Colonials sent two goals past Hawk goalie Christy Ganc, turning a tie ballgame into a 3-1 lead. It was all that GW needed to hold off the Hawks and return to a 3-3 record in the Atlantic 10.
The Colonials managed the important victory by following their star Kim Warner (North York, Ontario/St. Joseph's) who got GW roling with a first half goal. Warner, scored unassisted from just outside the 18 in the 39th minute. Her shot beat Ganc to the right corner for her 11th goal of the season. With the goal, Warner now moves back into the A-10 lead for goals and points with 24.
SJU was able to respond in the second half, as junior Michelle Ford took a pass from senior Katie Watson to score in the 57th minute. The game remained deadlocked for another 11 minutes, until the Colonials put together 35 seconds of offense to seal the game.
While Warner's goal was the catalyst, two other Colonials stepped up to help seal the deal. First, Ina Kain (Irvine, CA/Woodbridge) fired a direct kick from the 20-yard mark into the back of the net, which turned out to be the game-winner. Then, after gaining possession off a tap, Warner sent a beautiful ball to a streaking Sarah Minnich (Wilton, CT/Wilton) on the left side. Minnich made the most of the opportunity, as she scored the insurance goal in the contest.
The Colonials will stay in Philadelphia through the weekend and contest their 6-7-0 record against Temple at 2:00 pm on Sunday.

How to remove duplicates from a list
There are tons of ways to remove duplicates from a list of items, most of which are way too complicated and technical for a noob (if you don't know what this is, then that's you) to perform.
Let's look at some of them, and let me know in the comments if you think these were useful. Here they come, in order of increasing difficulty (geekness)
TextPad is a free (well, nagware) text editor with so many built in tools I cannot talk about it without crying…
- open the file in TextPad
- select Tools > Sort
- check the box at 'remove duplicate lines'
- click OK
Another program abused by millions (billions?) to do stuff that could be done with a 10 year old cellphone. What the bozos at Microsoft tell you is the dumbest way to do it, because you're overwriting your original list. Here's the smart way
Select the data
- Click Data > PivotTable… (Office 2003) or Insert > PivotTable (Office 2007)
- Click 'Finish' to create a new sheet with an empty pivot table
- Drag the column for which you need to remove duplicates into the left part of the pivottable
- adding flavor: you can now sort, filter, group, analyze, you name it.
If your data is in a database, and you have access to SQL, perform the following query:
- SELECT DISTINCT(column) FROM table
- in place of 'column' you type what you need to be unique
- in place of 'table' you type the table name
- tip: you can combine more columns by typing (column1, column2, …)
If you have the file on a linux or unix system, from the terminal (command line) type
- sort -u file > output
- where 'file' is the name of your file and 'output' is the name of the output file.
I'd like to know if you can come up with new and maybe even faster ways!

Your pivot table solution is probably the best one in Excel. For the PT-challenged, an Excel advance filter selecting only unique items and writing to a seperate range also works without overwriting the source data.
Thanks for the textpad solution..very helpful and saves a lot of time.. well articulated to avoid confusion too. Thanks!!
Thanks, really helpful little solution in Textpad. I appreciate the tip!

The question – or controversy, depending on who you talk to – about the propriety of "micro-units" or "micro-unions" has been a pressing issue for employers since the National Labor Relations Board issued its Specialty Healthcare decision in 2011. The concern has been that unions, as a way of getting a foot in the door at a non-union employer, would petition to represent arbitrarily defined small groups covering only those employees who supported the union to win an election where the majority of a more readily apparent "community of interest" does not support unionization. Though the Board claimed Specialty Healthcare did not create new criteria for defining appropriate bargaining units outside the healthcare industry, the dissent from that decision was direct in saying "Make no mistake. Today's decision fundamentally changes the standard for determining whether a petitioned-for unit is appropriate in any industry under the Board's jurisdiction." Two decisions recently issued by the Board suggest that the dissent's prognostication in Specialty Healthcare was correct, but they may also give some hope to employers that their union-free workforces cannot be penetrated through blatant "micro-unit" gerrymandering to ensure the union delivers itself an election victory.
In the first decision involving 41 cosmetics and fragrance salespeople in a department store, the Board concluded that the small group of workers was an appropriate group to organize. Seemingly putting to rest any debate that Specialty Healthcare only applied to the health care industry, the Board specifically cited the decision (despite then claiming it did not need to rely on Specialty Healthcare) and applied it to the retail industry in support of its ruling applying to a less-than-storewide unit of employees. According to the Board, the cosmetics and fragrance sales workers were "a readily identifiable group who share a community of interest." The Board further stated that the employer had not met its burden to demonstrate that the other employees shared "an overwhelming community of interest with the petitioned-for employees so as to require their inclusion in the unit."
The Board's decision in this first case turned on numerous facts, but the three most important were that the employees in the petitioned-for group: (1) all worked in a "separate department from all other selling employees" and comprised all the nonsupervisory employees in their department; (2) were supervised by the same sales manager; and (3) had little, if any, contact with employees or customers of other departments – essentially all were dedicated to the same task of selling cosmetics and fragrances. The Board seemed particularly swayed by the fact that the department store itself had grouped cosmetics and fragrance employees together for purposes of internal store management.
The importance of this employer-chosen-organization factor seemed to provide the critical departure point for the second Board decision issued just a week later. In this second case, the Board examined the propriety of yet another narrowly drawn petitioned-for unit in the retail sector – this time all women's shoe sales associates inside a single department store in New York. Distinguishing that petitioned-for unit from the one in the earlier case, the Board focused on the fact that "the boundaries of the petitioned-for unit do not resemble any administrative or operational lines drawn by the Employer." In fact, contrary to the unit in the earlier case, the petitioned-for micro-unit in the second case was "carved out" by the union from other departments and then "grouped" together for the union's own hoped-for bargaining purposes. Such a gerrymandered group, according to the Board, could not be deemed to share a community of interest sufficient to support a bargaining unit.
Employers who have thus feared that Specialty Healthcare portended an unwelcome and crippling onslaught of "micro-unions" could, therefore, be simultaneously dismayed and somewhat heartened by these recent decisions. The earlier assertion by the Board itself that it would not expand micro-unions outside the health care industry seems to be yet another instance, among many recent actions by the Board in which it departs from its own precedent to expand union protections. However, the way the employer chooses to organize itself and manage and supervise its employees appears to play a vital role in determining the appropriateness of a narrowly drawn petitioned-for unit and giving unions opportunities to penetrate workforces through micro unionization. That said, a prudent employer hoping to avoid the formation of micro-unions would be well advised to look at all the major factors considered by the Board and, to the extent possible, maintain a flexible, integrated and well-rounded work staff with common management when doing so supports the employer's operational imperatives.

Sweden's Lundin Petroleum announced Tuesday that drilling has started on appraisal well 16/2-16 on the Johan Sverdrup discovery in production license 501 in the Norwegian North Sea.
The well is located on the northeastern flank of the discovery with the objective to establish the depth, quality and thickness of the Jurassic reservoir sequences that are approximately 1.8 miles away from wells 16/2-13A and 16/2-10 that are located in the PL501 and PL265 licenses respectively. Both these wells found excellent reservoirs and deeper oil-water contacts than seen elsewhere at the Johan Sverdrup discovery, according to Lundin.
Well 16/2-16 will investigate reservoir quality and the oil water contact between the 16/2-13A and 16/2-10 wells. A limited oil column is expected due to the well's location on the flank of the Johan Sverdrup discovery. The well will however provide valuable information on depth conversion at this location as well as a better understanding of aquifer support.
The planned total depth is approximately 7,375 feet below mean sea level and the well will be drilled by using the drilling rig Transocean Winner (mid-water semisub). The drilling operation is expected to take approximately 50 days.
Lundin Petroleum is the operator of PL501 with a 40-percent interest. Partners are Statoil Petroleum with 40 percent and Mærsk Oil Norway with 20 percent.

Unusual remappings
Unusual remappings
The possibilities of panotools go far beyond mere panorama stitching. Due to it's flexibility and modular design there are some remappings possible that (may be) where not intended originally. It should be possible to perform these remappings using the Panorama Tools Plugins but I prefer to use one of the GUI front-ends, since they allow for a more convenient control. I've used PTGui here but it should be possible with hugin, PTAssembler or PTMac in a similar way.
Little planet
This is a remapping already used by Helmut Dersch as a thumbnail for his virtual Marburg tour on [1] (scoll down on the page). It remaps an equirectangular full spherical panorama to a virtual 360� fishey image. Unfortunately PTGui doesn't support this remapping directly, hence we have to modify the PTStitcher script.
- Open PTGui, choose Advanced mode and load your equirect image on source images tab page.
- On Lens Settings tab page choose Equirectangular from the Lens type list, set Hor. Field of View to 360 degrees and click Restore defaults in the Advanced frame in order to set all lens correction parameters to 0.0.
- On Panorama Settings tab page choose Projection: Equirectangular and set Field of View to 180 x 180 degrees. This is for convenience only. The values will be changed later.
- On Image parameters tab page click the Pitch field for your image and set it to 90 in order to view straight down.
- On Create Panorama tab page set the width and file format you want for your output image. One single image is created hence any single image format is good. Don't forget the image name. Choose Stitch using: Panorama Tools (PTStitcher) from the Advanced frame and check Show script.
- Click Create panorama. The script will be shown.
- In the line beginning with the letter p change f2 to f3 and v180 to v360. Click Ok.
The resulting image is supposed to be a "Full Frame Fisheye", hence you need to crop it to a circular frame in your image editor.
If you don't like the rotation of the result image you use Numerical transform from the PTGui panorama editor (Ctrl+E). Enter a step value for Roll (f.e. -10) and press Apply button repeatedly until you like the roation. The display in pano editor will be in equirect, not in "little planet" of course.
Orientation plate (arc)
On some places with wide panoramic vistas you can find orientation plates. Arc formed prints of the panorama. Panotools can make this remapping from a cylindrical panorama to an arc formed one, too. No need to edit scripts here but a pocked calculator might be of some use and you should know the approximate Horizontal field of view of your panorama.
- Open PTGui, choose Advanced mode and load your cylindrical image on source images tab page. Note down the pixel sizes. In our example these are 4254x400 pixels.
- On Lens Settings tab page choose Cylindrical from the Lens type list, set Hor. Field of View to the field of view of your panorama (120 degrees in our example) and click Restore defaults in the Advanced frame in order to set all lens correction parameters to 0.0. Get your calculator. Use the following formula (provided by Rik Littlefield - many thanks):
r = (image_width_in_pixels*360)/(hfov*2*pi).
In the example case this is
r = (4254*360)/(120*2*3.14) = 2031.
Enter the result as a negative value in the vert.(e) Image shift field (-2031 in the example case).
- On Panorama Settings tab page choose Projection: Rectilinear and set Field of View to 120 x 120 degrees. This will probably be changed later.
- On Image parameters tab page click the Pitch field for your image and set it to 90 in order to view straight down.
- On Create Panorama tab page set the width and file format you want for your output image. One single image is created hence any single image format is good. Don't forget the image name. Choose Stitch using: Panorama Tools (PTStitcher) from the Advanced frame and uncheck Use fast transform.
- Open panorama editor (Ctrl+E) and adjust panorama width and height using the sliders such that it contains the whole arc. Ocassionaly PTGui fails to display the arc correctly in pano editor. In this case you need to calculate the appropriate values. See below for details.
- On Create Panorama tab page check the output size and click Create panorama.
You might want to crop the result image in your image editor in order to get rid of the black space.
Since the source panorama is arched, the pixels have to be compressed at the inner side and stretched at the outer side. There is a line in the middle where there is no stretching or compression. In most cases it is desireable that this line is the horizon which is assumed to be half way between upper and lower edge of the panorama. If you want this line to be somewhere else simply use a different image shift (e) value. For example -2231 will shift 200 pixels further down (nearer to the center of the result image) than -2031 and create a smaller and narrower arc.
The above calculation
r = (image_width_in_pixels*360)/(hfov*2*pi)
actually calculates the radius of the cylindrical source image in pixels. We will need this value r for the following calculation.
For very large result images - and they get really large since they have to be symmetrical to the center point of the arc, which requires a lot of black space if the source panorama HFoV is low - or if PTGui pano editor doesn't work it might be interesting to create the minimum possible size that covers the whole arc.
The minimal vertical FoV value that will cover the whole arc can be calculated by
rvFoV = 2*arctan(r/(e-(image_height/2)))
where e is the positive Image shift you entered in the vert.(e) Image shift field as a negative value and r is the radius from two paragraphs above. In our example:
rvFoV = 2*arctan(2031/(2031-(400/2))) = 96 degrees
rvFoV (for result vertical Field of View).
If your source FoV is lower than 180� like in our example the resulting horizontal Field of View (rhFoV) can be lower than the vertical FoV (rvFoV). This can be calculated by
rhFoV = 2*arctan(sin(source_hfov/2) * tan(rvFoV/2)).
In our example
2*arctan(sin(120/2)*tan(96/2)) = 87.77 degrees
It is advisable to choose sligtly larger values for both FoVs in order not to loose any pixels.
