New Haven is the second-largest city in Connecticut and boasts a beautiful shoreline along the Long Island Sound. Founded in 1638, New Haven created what is now known as the "Nine Square Plan" recognized as a National Planning Landmark. Additionally, New Haven is home to Yale University and founded the first public tree planting program in America giving the city the nickname "The Elm City." The large, deep New Haven Harbor and the pronounced reddish basalt trap rock ridges, respectfully known as East Rock and West Rock, are the best-known geographical features in the city.
Right up there with Oxford University in the United Kingdom or Harvard or Princeton here in America, Yale University is one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the Ivy League. Five U.S. Presidents and 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices claim Yale as their alma mater; the Yale Law School is just about the best there is. Famous jazz songwriter Cole Porter wrote the school fight song about their famous blue bulldog mascot 'Handsome Dan'—blue is the school color, and the Bulldogs are the official sports team. This sprawling, scenic campus is located in the chilly industrial New England city of New Haven, Connecticut. Campus buildings vary in style from Gothic to super-modern. The Yale Art Gallery has an amazing collection, and the secret society of the Skull And Bones is also located here in special buildings called 'tombs...no one knows much about them...forget I said anything...
Although Yale is thought of as a 'residential college', with 88% of undergraduates living on campus, there are other options anyone thinking outside the dorm box. Our apartment guide can help you get started scoping out what's available in the New Haven area. Apartment rentals in the city range from large condos to smaller apartments in houses, or more modest complexes. Many of them are located in downtown New Haven, so you will most likely have easy access to campus, as Yale is centrally located. Find out more about day-to-day college experience with our blog.
Waking and biking are both great, simple ways to get basically anywhere you need to be within the campus and nearby downtown New Haven area. There is also the Yale Shuttle to take you from building to building; take a look at their schedule and routes here. The Shuttle will drop you off right at the train station, connecting you to all the nearby major cities. But really, the Yale campus is a biker's paradise. The campus itself is like something straight out of Harry Potter, with castle-like architecture, and the surrounding downtown is filled with cultural attractions and nightlife. The Yale Art Gallery is a must. For nightlife, look no further than the bars and hang outs of Chapel and Church streets, within walking distance.

How to Handle Bad Behavior on Planes
Craftvision/Vetta/Getty Images
Rudeness is rampant on airplanes these days. Some travelers appear to check their manners (and common sense) with their luggage. They settle into the plane as if they were in their own living rooms, oblivious to the fact that there are a few hundred people sharing the same small metal tube. It would be great if flight attendants reviewed basic etiquette when they give the safety presentation, but barring that, here are some tips to help you manage bad behavior on planes.
1. Lead by example
Take stock of your own flight habits and try to practice the golden rule so that others might learn from your example. Also, remember that although you can't control other people's behavior, you can control your response to it.
2. Set seat boundaries
Passengers with good manners check behind them before reclining the seat back slowly or just halfway. If you have an obtuse passenger in front of you who slams the seat back fully the second the plane takes off, tap her on the shoulder and ask her to please adjust the seat so you can use your laptop. As for the armrest, it should be shared 50-50. If the person beside you monopolizes it, gently nudge his elbow with yours, smile and say: "I think we can share this."
3. Keep the peace
Some passengers insist on talking continuously to their seatmates. The best solution is to pull out noise-blocking headphones, smile and say, "Excuse me." And if your seatmate is more of an inflight DJ than a fellow traveler, ask him to please turn the music down if it's bothering you. One of the more serious causes of bad behavior on planes is alcohol. If you're seated next to a boozer who's becoming difficult to deal with, find the flight attendant and ask to be moved — preferably before the drunk passes out, head resting on your shoulder.
4. Avoid the bustle
If the passenger behind you grabs the back of your seat to steady himself even when there's no turbulence, turn to the person and, in a polite voice, say: "Excuse me … I don't know if you realize this, but when you grab the back of my seat to stand, it disturbs me. Thanks." If a child seated behind you repeatedly kicks your seat, stand and ask the accompanying adult to please make sure the child does not do this. Remember to smile and say thanks. Finally, if you're seated on the aisle next to someone who gets up continually to use the restroom, switching seats with her will go a long way toward making the flight more comfortable for you both.
5. Deal with bad smells
If you're seated next to a person who removes his shoes (and doesn't change into a clean pair of socks), politely ask him to put his shoes back on, as the odor is bothering you. You can also ask someone who is eating an odiferous snack to wait till she reaches the destination to enjoy it.

On Monday, I noted that ObamaCare regulations requiring employers to provide full (really full) insurance coverage to all employees may make running restaurants, which have a famously low profit margin, so prohibitively expensive that many will go out of business.
It turns out that we needn't fear this eventuality, because we're about to see a perfect confluence of two Obama policies. Restaurants can avoid the costs of ObamaCare by hiring only part-time employees. This is so because ObamaCare says that employers don't have to provide health insurance for part-time employees. The down side of this is that the poor, part-time employees will have to provide their own insurance (or pay a penalty), not to mention struggling to pay for food and housing on a part-time salary. Or will they?
As you might have noticed, the economy has not improved measurably under Obama. Indeed, thanks to Obamanomics, college graduates are barely getting by:
In California, it's long been the joke that prospective actresses come to the state to become waitresses. Now, thanks to the Democrat-created economy, so do college graduates. The newest census shows that between 2006 and 2011, the number of college graduates working as waiters doubled. Approximately 260,000 California college graduates below the age of 30 worked in low-level menial jobs in 2011, an increase of 60,000 over 2006.
And there you have it: the Obama economy provides ready-made part-time employees for a restaurant that can no longer afford full-time employees. Even better, these part-timers will live in their parents' basements and, until they're 26, get their insurance from their parents' employers. Right now, we won't worry about what happens when their parents' employers can no longer bear the cost of providing for their own full-time employees, plus an increasing number of Obamanomics-created dependents.
What we're seeing is the perfect symmetry of an imploding Leftist-managed economy.

Centurion Red Band Trailer (2010)
The red band trailer for Centurion.
AD 117. The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and East as far as the Black Sea. But in northern Britain, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in face of the guerrilla tactics of an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying Picts. Quintus Dias (Fassbender), sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' (West) legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader Gorlacon. But when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines. Enduring the harsh terrain and evading their remorseless Pict pursuers led by revenge-hungry Pict Warrior Etain (Kurylenko), the band of soldiers race to rescue their General and to reach the safety of the Roman frontier.

From the Times and Democrat newspaper in South Carolina:
A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday.
Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying.
"It didn't work; what SHARK was doing was perfectly legal," Hindi said in a news release. "Once they knew nothing was going to stop us, the shooting stopped and the cars lined up to leave."
He said the animal rights group decided to send the drone up anyway.
"Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out," Hindi said in the release. "As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter."
He claimed the shooters were "in tree cover" and "fled the scene on small motorized vehicles."
"It is important to note how dangerous this was, as they were shooting toward and into a well-travelled highway," Hindi stated in the release. He said someone from SHARK called the Colleton County Sheriff's Department, which took a report of the incident.
The Colleton County Sheriff's Department filed a malicious damage to property incident report.
The incident report went on to state that "once shot, the helicopter lost lift and crash landed on the roadway of U.S. 601."According to the report, Hindi told the responding deputy the group's remote-controlled aircraft "was hovering over U.S. 601 when he heard a shot come from the wood line. The shot sounded to him that it was of small caliber."
The deputy noted in the report that he was unable to speak to anyone at Broxton Bridge Plantation following the incident.
Hindi estimated damage to the drone at around $200 to $300.
Hindi said he will seek charges against those who shot down the drone.
"This was SHARK's first encounter with the Broxton Bridge Plantation, but it will certainly not be the last," Hindi said in the release. "We are already making plans for a considerably upscaled action in 2013."

You might be a redneck if........
Link is not working.
That does not sound like hobby / recreational to me, sure sounds like they should have had a COA
Expensive 'clay pigeon'
So, what's the deal here? Instead of launching clay pigeons as targets, were they going to release real pigeons as targets to shoot just for sport? Or was this a pigeon hunt?
in my opinion, if your flying an aircraft where pigeons are getting shot by rednecks, expect to get shot at lol
Here's the link to the original:
Seems the objective of stopping the legal hunt was accomplished by their own admission prior to the decision to "launch" the MK anyway. If something like this ends up in court which it undoubtedly will, the outcome will most likely not be favorable towards the use of SUAS vehicles filming over private property without the owners consent.Then again activist groups generally are not concerned with law if it stands in the way of their agenda, but of course responsible operators will be burdened with the outcome. Look for more of these unfriendly encounters in the future.
They also might re-think the choice of camera platform, say something not so slow and easy to hit? Just can't help but get a chuckle out this. BTW, harassment of legal hunting activities is illegal in most U.S states.
As a hunter, I agree harassment of legal hunting activities is wrong. I would not shoot live Pigeons for practice, dove hunting would be better!
I don't think a COA is needed, as video is freely given?
How about using a camera on a pole, it would be legal and get the same results.
I doubt some some would shoot at a pole in a humans hands ? maybe not.
This poor attempt at political action hurts our hobby.
Well, I don't think it's illegal to shoot live pigeons, is it? So, this Hindi, was just trying to interfere with a law abiding shooting event. Not that I would ever want to shoot anything live myself, it's too messy. Basically, he ruined some people's fun, and they ruined his.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Competition and cooperation can be studied mathematically, an idea that first arose in the analysis of games like chess and checkers, but soon showed its relevance to economics and geopolitical strategy. This unit shows how conflict and strategies can be thought about mathematically, and in doing so, reveal important insights about human and even animal behaviors.
We've all heard it said that life is like a game. Most games have well defined rules, with clear benefits for winning and costs for losing. And that makes them something we can think about logically and mathematically. But what about life? Can mathematics tell us anything about the competitions and collaborations that happen every day? From the social sciences to biology, robotics and beyond, the answer is yes.
Much of mathematics, however, has its foundation in the happenings of the world around us. The field of game theory, in some sense, represents the pinnacle of this type of mathematics. It can be thought of as the mathematical study of our human interactions.
Common game theory scenarios will be modeled spatially. This interactive provides an opportunity to observe outcomes and connect them quantitatively to a payoff matrix.

An Ice Problem
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 02, 2010
Credit: John Noble Q: I was just reading an article you have online regarding ridge vents and soffits (see "Out, Out Dammed Ice," Nov/Dec '96, p. 21). Our house was built in 1997. We have some soffit venting and some louvered vents. Last spring we installed a new roof and had a ridge vent put in with new louvered vents. I recently went up into the attic and found ice formed under the new louvered vents and light snow coming in. Each louvered vent that had ice formation had water dripped below in the attic. I read that the attic could be unbalanced, causing the snow to enter. Not sure why I have ice formation. I was wondering if I needed more soffit ventilation? Is there a certain spacing, like every so many feet? I have a two-story house that has six soffit vents on the back of the house and none on the front. The builder put two vented windows that have louvers with screen behind, one in the attic space above the garage and one at the other end of the house. Do you not put soffit vents on the front ...

Q: Someone told me I need to do the Jar Test. What is that?
Margie – Clinton, ME
A: Let me guess: You have discolored or cloudy water, right?
Your friend gave some good advice. If you have green- or tea-colored water, or murky water in your pond, a jar test is an easy way to diagnose just what's causing those clarity issues.
It's simple to do. Take a clear glass jar, dunk it into your pond, fill it up with the water and let it sit for 24 hours. Overnight, the jar and its contents become a miniature version of your water garden – and it'll reveal the source of your problem. Here's how to read your jar:
Green Water
If your jar contains green-tined water or if the water has green particles in it, you most likely have algae. Planktonic algae – the source of algae blooms – are floating, microscopic plants that color pond water green, blue-green, brown or variations in between. Your jar is telling you to treat for algae with an algaecide like AlgaeFix®. It clears up all types of algae blooms fast.
Tea-Colored Water
Discolored or tea-colored water means you have some leaf tea brewing in your pond. As organic debris decomposes in your pond, the tannins and other byproducts mix into the water column, discoloring it. Your first remedy is to add a bag of Activated Carbon to the water. It will clear up the dissolved materials that are causing the problem. While the carbon is working, remove floating and decaying material with Collapsible Skimmer Net and ClearVac™ Pond Vacuum. Keep your pond clean by skimming it regularly and covering it with pond netting or a Pond Shelter™ during the fall months.
Water with Sediment
Does your jar have clear water with a layer of sediment on the bottom? If so, you have an abundance of organics in the pond, and your fish are constantly stirring them up and clouding the water. Your four-step solution: Remove large debris, perform a partial water change, add a Water Conditioner, and double down on the beneficial bacteria from the DefensePAC®.
A jar test can reveal a lot about the water in your pond. If you need some assistance in discerning what your jar is telling you, just email one of The Pond Guy® experts. They're there to help!
Pond Talk: Have you ever been surprised by the results of a jar test in your pond?

These are memories that bubble up when Michael Murphy explains how he ended up at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center as the new business development manager for water innovation. Murphy, on the job since April, is charged with helping to build the state's nascent water technology cluster into what many hope will soon be a world-leading industry.
"I never had aspirations to be a 'water dude,' " said Murphy, 39, but "I grew up on lakes and springs and rivers [and] early on you realize that these things should be managed and protected."
Murphy's hiring is another indication of the state's increasing efforts to develop a new innovation sector to complement its renowned biotechnology, high tech, and alternative energy industries. As the global population grows, demanding more food and energy, water is projected to become an increasingly precious resource — and commodity.
The global water market is estimated to generate between $360 billion and $600 billion in annual revenues, and is only expected to grow. Water technologies are used to monitor, treat, and transport different types of water — purifying it for consumption, for instance, or making waste water clean enough to use safely in industrial applications. As the demand for water grows, so too will demand for these types of products.
Murphy's resume includes four years on the water supply and sanitation team at the World Bank and a stint in the Peace Corps building wells for a community in the Bolivian Amazon. These experiences helped him rise above the two dozen other applicants for the job, said Alicia Barton, chief executive of the Clean Energy Center, an agency created by state legislation in order to build Massachusetts' clean technology industry.
"Michael's background in water policy, in addition to the infrastructure and water policy work that he had done at the World Bank," Barton said, "was well-suited to what we were looking for."
Murphy's main job, at least for now, is to network and act as a liaison between the state and research institutions, and the local water technology sector, which currently generates about $4 billion in revenue. Companies include Desalitech, a water treatment company that recently moved its headquarters to Newton; and CDM Smith, a global consulting, engineering, and construction firm based in Cambridge.
In many ways, Murphy will be a matchmaker, introducing firms to one another in the hopes that they'll form lasting partnerships. The goal: to transform what has been a disjointed cluster of businesses in one industry into a world-class innovation sector.
Already, Murphy keeps a list of potential pairings on a white board in the office. He says his initial challenge — developing connections to the community — will be similar to when he arrived in Urubicha, Bolivia, ready to build wells as part of his Peace Corps service.
But it wasn't water that brought Murphy from California to Massachusetts, it was his wife, Susan Inonog, who was matched to a Cambridge hospital for her residency after studying medicine at the University of California at San Francisco.
"I guess it was a little serendipitous," Murphy said.
Murphy said he decided to leave the World Bank for the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, after realizing he wanted to address water issues from a more domestic standpoint. His hiring, industry officials said, show the state is serious about growing the sector.

Can't Stop What he's Started

The 52-year-old still-photography guru is bringing the Bare Bones Tour to the Julie Rogers Theatre on Friday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are on sale now for $69.50, $49.50, $35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster locations including the Beaumont Civic Center box office. Also, tickets purchased for the original show date of Oct. 14, 2011, can also be used.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Adams saw several parts of the world as a child as his father traveled for work as a Canadian diplomat. As many artists' say, music played a big role in his life while growing up and he released his first national record in 1980 on A&M Records titled Bryan Adams.
It wasn't until his third release, Cuts Like a Knife, in 1983 when music fans in the states took notice and the follow-up, Reckless, helped Adams become a household name a year later. Six singles off the record hit the charts including "Run to You," "Somebody," "Heaven," "Summer of '69," "One Night Love Affair" and "It's Only Love."
The Adams' hit machine would keep on rolling with classics such as "Heat of the Night," "Can't Stop This Thing We Started," "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven," "Please Forgive Me," "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?," "All for Love," which he sung with Rod Stewart and Sting, and the monster ballad that went No. 1 in over a dozen countries — "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You."
Some might not know that Adams also has a love for photography. He's had pictures published in magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Esquire and a photo he took of Queen Elizabeth II was twice used as a Canadian postage stamp.
Adams is now touring in support of his latest musical project, Bare Bones, which is a 20-song live acoustic album of his biggest hits. Fans that attend the show will get to hear the classics live like never before.
The Examiner spoke with Adams via telephone as he prepared to return to the road.
You've recorded a handful of live albums before, but none quite like this. What was the thought process heading into Bare Bones?
The idea was actually humble. Fans were coming to the acoustic shows and they were asking where they could buy copies of the songs I had performed. Many are used to hearing the songs in the full band mode, but no one had really heard these songs has they were originally written, which were stripped back with an acoustic guitar, and people really responded so I made the record. I had no idea it was going to get released but my record company in England heard it and wanted to put it out.
With a big catalog, how were song choices made?
The obvious thing was to give everyone what they want — the classics. I also joined Twitter and asked the people what they wanted to hear, and there were interesting suggestions that I took up on.Any one particular hit mean the most?There's a whole load of songs I could put into that category. Every album I have recorded, one or two songs have withstood the test of time, so it would be very difficult to isolate one.
Has is surprised you that so many of your songs have withstood that test of time?
I can only say that it has to be the music. I've talked with many musician friends of mine and there is a general dissatisfaction on how things in this industry have been mishandled by the record companies. Artists can become incredibly lazy and record companies want all the control. Then the Internet came along and suddenly everyone was downloading the music for free and no one really got together and tried to find a way to make this work. They did the wrong thing and tried to sue people, so now most people expect that music is free or pay minimal amounts for it. I don't see how some musicians are going to survive, nor do I see how this will inspire them.
When did music begin to influence you?
Probably driving around in my parents' car listening to the radio, and my friend had a Chevrolet Corvair with an AM radio in it so we would listen to music. Listening to the radio got me most excited. Hearing the Beatles really inspired me. Oh, and a friend of mine had a drum set and we would hang out and play the drums pretending we were John Bonham.
That started a long time ago. I started documenting my tours and doing promo pictures for myself like my own album covers. I went on to do portraits for my friends, and I really work hard at it now.

By Kaleigh Tankersley, HPU junior
BROWNWOOD – November 25, 2013 – Howard Payne University's Student Speaker Bureau (SSB), a speech and debate team, traveled to Oxford, England, recently to compete in the Oxford Inter-Varsity International Debate Tournament. Teams competing in the tournament follow the World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC) style, also known as British Parliamentary debate.
Two teams of HPU debaters traveled to Oxford – Jared Russell, a junior from Hillsboro, and Kaleigh Tankersley, a junior from Iraan; and Marcos Corley, a junior from Corpus Christi, and Catherine Mullaney, a senior from Boylston, Mass.
Dr. Julie Welker, chair of the communication department, professor of communication and SSB coach, said the students competed extremely well.
"Our two teams did outstanding," said Dr. Welker. "In this format of debate, students have eight years of eligibility so our undergraduate students competed against law students and Ph.D. students from some of the top universities in the world."
The team was also required to bring a judge for competition. Dorie Walton, a junior from Lolita and SSB team member, judged multiple rounds of competition.
"Judging is such a great way to really learn what wins a debate round," said Dr. Welker. "I know this experience will make Dorie a much better debater. Plus, she got to judge with individuals from universities across the world."
Kim Bryant, associate professor of communication, also traveled with the team.
The two teams competed in five rounds of WUDC debate at the University of Oxford. The students debated five different motions and were given 15 minutes before each round to prepare.
"Collegiate debate builds excellent critical thinking skills," said Dr. Welker. "Our team members have to be well-versed in a number of current event and world issues – we don't just debate one issue or concept all year. The topics range from political to social to environmental issues, and students must be prepared for any topic in any round."
The use of electronic material and coaching help is prohibited during prep time and during the debate.
The Oxford IV tournament is the largest WUDC tournament on the European circuit. The tournament consisted of teams from around the world, including other American teams as well as teams from the United Kingdom, Austria, Bangladesh, China, Australia and many other countries.
The HPU teams also enjoyed a tour of Oxford and a guided visit to the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe. After the tournament, the team traveled to London for sightseeing. Students visited St. Paul's Cathedral, Greenwich, The Globe Theatre, Kensington Palace and attended a theatre production.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm not involved in math. I need to reverse the following formula, to calculate $\alpha$:
$$a = b(\alpha + \sin \alpha)/c$$
So I have:
$$(\alpha + \sin \alpha)=ac/b = K$$
Since $a$, $b$, $c$ are constant, I put equal to $K$.
$\alpha$ is measured in radians. I need to find the value of $\alpha$ (in radians or degree).
Thanks to all!!

Inquiry Question
Reading 4: After the Battle
The whole East Coast celebrated the successful defense of Baltimore. At about the same time, the American navy beat a small British fleet on Lake Champlain far to the north. These two victories erased the shame of the burning of Washington. They also helped restart stalled peace negotiations. On December 24, 1814, American and British representatives signed the Treaty of Ghent. The treaty ended the war, but did not resolve any of the issues that had led to it.
The victory was a local one for people who lived in Baltimore. Armistead, Smith, and their men became instant heroes. Armistead himself died four years later at the age of 39. The other "Old Defenders" proudly marched in anniversary parades for the rest of their lives. September 12 is still "Defenders' Day," a public holiday in the city. Fort McHenry and other historic sites hold special celebrations on that day. There is a Battle Monument in Baltimore that commemorated the 1814 victory. It has been the official emblem of the city since 1827.
At first, people in Baltimore and Washington were the only ones who knew about Francis Scott Key's song. Published sheet music and performances in theaters and at patriotic celebrations soon introduced it to more people. "The Star-Spangled Banner" became a "national air," like "Hail Columbia" and "Yankee Doodle." In the 1830s, national political parties began to modify the words of the song to use in their campaigns. Abolitionists and advocates of temperance also adapted it for their own use.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was very popular in the North during the Civil War. It was played when the American flag was lowered at Fort Sumter, the first battle of the war. It was played again when Union forces took the fort back at the conflict's end. It went with Union armies as they entered New Orleans, Savannah, Richmond, and many other towns in the defeated South.
The centennial of the Declaration of Independence in 1876 and the Spanish-American War in the 1890s led to a surge of national pride and patriotism. By 1905, all military posts and naval vessels were playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at flag raising in the morning and lowering at the end of the day. All officers and men had to stand at attention during these ceremonies. Civilians also began to stand at attention during the anthem, which often opened plays, movies, and baseball games. The military made "The Star-Spangled Banner" the official national anthem for military ceremonies in 1917.
People who wanted Key's song to be the national anthem of the whole United States introduced 15 different bills in the U.S. Congress between 1912 and 1917. None of them even came up for a vote. World War I brought broad-based popular support. J. Charles Linthicum, a Maryland congressman, and Ella Hauk Holloway, the president of the Maryland State Society, U.S. Daughters of 1812, introduced yet another bill after the war. Some people opposed the designation. They thought that the song was too hard to sing. Some favored "America the Beautiful," "Yankee Doodle," or "Hail Columbia" instead. Temperance groups did not want a former "drinking song" as the national anthem. Some thought the anti-British sentiments of Key's lyrics would damage U.S. relations with Britain. Others thought it might harm the morals of the schoolchildren singing it.
Congressman Linthicum persisted. By 1929, he had the support of a number of patriotic organizations. The bill passed both houses of Congress and President Herbert Hoover signed it into law on March 3, 1931.

Many of us have lowriding in our blood, but few can say that they have the honor of coming from a bloodline of lowriders. Such is the case for Daniel Tovar of Cypress, California — a direct descendent of the Tovar family. Daniel's uncles have graced the pages of LOWRIDER Magazine countless times and within that winning streak they've also landed a few legendary and epic covers. More recently, his dad Paul landed the September 2013 cover with their truck, Special Delivery, and that was proof enough that Daniel has some big shoes to fill in the lowrider scene.
Daniel's start began with a model car that his dad Paul helped him with. Daniel produced custom replica model cars of his family's famous rides and his work reached such acclaim that he landed his very first feature in the summer 2001 issue of Lowrider Bicycle.
Wanting to attend shows with his uncles Michael and Eddie, Daniel decided to build himself a classic bicycle. He, along with his younger brother Joey, teamed up and started hitting up swap meets and contacting friends to find rare parts for their build and apparently finding rare parts is a skill that comes naturally to a Tovar.
He contacted his friend Stephan Taylor to assist in building the custom 26-inch frame that no one else would have. The cruiser's frame was built using 1¼-inch steel tubing. The bike was then taken to their friend Albert DeAlba who also comes from a bloodline of lowriders, to have it candied and flaked out. Adding rare pre-WWII bicycle and motorcycle accessories finished off the bike.
As the bike build came to an end, Daniel became the proud godfather of his older brother Paul's son Nicholas. He once again teamed up with his brother Joey to build him a 1950s Taylor Tot. Victor Melgoza laid out the 1939 woodgrain style on the seat and handle, while chrome was sent out to Sergio at Quality Chrome Finish in Los Angeles. The bike was then taken back to Albert DeAlba to give it a matching paintjob.
After building model cars, strollers, and bikes, Daniel is on to his toughest task yet, the building of a 1939 Sport Coupe that he hopes will live up to the Tovar name and have it featured within these pages one day. Daniel would like to dedicate this feature to his grandma Mary who is cruising the heavens above us.

Race resurfaces in conservative protests against Obama
Just weeks after President Obama attempted to bridge a national divide over the George Zimmerman verdict, the rhetoric surrounding race in America is increasingly hot. In the last month, several ugly episodes surrounding anti-Obama protests have prompted bipartisan denunciations, and ignited debate over the role of race in conservative opposition to the president. During the same period, Republican officials have excoriated prominent Democrats over remarks on race that they consider inflammatory.
This weekend, a state fair in Missouri featured a rodeo clown dressed as President Obama. According to one widely shared account by an attendee, "the crowd went wild" after announcers asked who wanted to see Obama "run down by a bull." The attendee, Perry Beam, likened the scene to "some kind of Klan rally."
As word of the incident spread, organizers apologized and politicians from both parties lined up to condemn the taxpayer-funded performance. "The concept of an angry bull attempting to trample a black man for the amusement of a crowd is neither entertaining nor funny and is not the type of behavior that our taxpayer-subsidized State Fair should promote," House Democratic Minority Leader Jake Hummel and Assistant Minority Leader Gail McCann Betty said in a joint statement. They called for an inquiry into "whether continued taxpayer funding is appropriate for an event that allows such racist actions to occur."
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, said she expects "someone to be held accountable" for the rodeo.
That was just one of several especially virulent displays of anti-Obama fury that drew national attention in recent days. In Phoenix last Tuesday, a protest of Obama's visit included a chorus of "Bye, bye, black sheep!" According to The Arizona Republic, one person shouted "he's 47 percent Negro!" while another raised a sign reading "Impeach the Half-White Muslim!" This weekend, Obama faced a similar greeting in Orlando, Fla., as several dozen protesters lined his motorcade route, including one whose sign read "Kenyan Go Home!"
The "birther" movement questioning Obama's legitimacy peaked in 2011 after Donald Trump explored a presidential campaign centered around the conspiracy theory, prompting the president to release his long-form birth certificate to decisively rebut the false claim. But it's most definitely still alive, and not just in Trump's Twitter feed. Republican members of Congress are facing questions at town halls this week over the issue, and two GOP lawmakers, Ted Yoho of Florida and Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, attracted special attention when they appeared to agree with attendees' concerns. Yoho said he endorsed a bill to investigate Obama's origins because "if it is true, it's illegal, he shouldn't be there and we can get rid of everything he's done." Mullin tried to convince a birther audience member that her cause was a "dead issue ", but ended up telling her "I believe what you're saying" before explaining how her cause was counterproductive. A spokeswoman for Mullin later clarified that he is not a "birther" and claimed he had been misinterpreted.
Amid this backdrop, some Democrats have suggested that Obama's presidency is drawing a unique brand of opposition in part because of his race. Many African American lawmakers and activists are especially galled by nationwide Republican efforts to place new restrictions on voting, such as voter ID requirements, that would disproportionately impact minorities. The recent decision by the Supreme Court to void parts of the Voting Rights Act brought many of these concerns to the forefront of the national debate.
"It's been obvious that they're doing everything they can to make him fail," Majority Leader Harry Reid told a Nevada radio host on Friday. "And I hope, I hope—and I say this seriously—I hope that's based on substance and not the fact that he's African American."
That comment struck Republican officials as a cheap shot. Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called it "offensive" and "insane." Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only African American in the Senate, said in a statement that he was "sincerely disappointed by continued attempts to divide the American people by playing to the lowest common denominator."
Reid's jab was considerably lighter than one leveled by Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, who told The Daily Beast earlier this month that tea party activists were "the same group we faced in the south with those white crackers and the dogs and the police."
Race has long been a touchy subject among grassroots conservatives. The tea party movement faced frequent accusations of racism when it first bubbled up in 2009 thanks to signs and chants along the lines of this summer's Phoenix and Orlando protests . Activists, in turn, accused their critics of using isolated incidents to unfairly tar their entire movement. Tea party supporters point to the popularity of minority candidates from Herman Cain to Marco Rubio to Ted Cruz as proof their opposition to the president's agenda isn't based on prejudice. President Clinton faced plenty of opposition to his agenda as well, including his unsuccessful push for universal health care. He also generated his own share of outlandish conspiracy theories.
It might be naive to suggest lifelong conservatives would abandon their objections to Democratic policy on taxes, health care, or the environment if only the president were white. But as suggested by these latest episodes —as well as Sen. Rand Paul's ongoing struggle to understand why having a neo-Confederate aide on the payroll was problematic—it seems at least as naive to pretend there aren't flavors of opposition steeped in racist rhetoric as well.

Inside every happily married man lurks a world-class horn dog eager to mark his territory and cast his seed. At least that's the theory behind "Hall Pass," the new comedy from Peter and Bobby Farrelly ("There's Something About Mary," "The Heartbreak Kid"). It's not quite a return to their halcyon days of the late '90s, but it's a hell of a lot funnier than anything they've done in the past decade.
Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudekis) are a pair of husbands from suburban Providence (do we even have to mention that? This is a Farrelly Brothers movie after all) who've been best friends since high school. Rick and his wife, Maggie (Jenna Fischer, who sometime between the first and second scene fell into a vat of tanner), and have three kids. Fred and his wife, Grace (Christina Applegate), are childless, but still drive a minivan because he's an insurance salesman, and he feels it puts customers at ease.
At a cocktail party one night, the wives commiserate about how their husbands are constantly checking out other women, and a couple of days later, at the suggestion of a friend, they each grant their husband a "hall pass," one week free from the bonds of matrimony, to do what they please with whomever they please.
Like the Farrellys' better films, "Hall Pass" depicts men at their worst, poking fun at their baser nature, but allowing the characters to maintain just enough humanity to make it OK to laugh at them. It's a delicate balancing act, and they occasionally lose their footing, but here the Farrellys get it right more than they get it wrong.
Pushing the boundaries of taste is another Farrelly hallmark, and "Hall Pass" certainly does that, going too far more than once. Without getting into details, there's a vivid examination of the stereotypical differences between black and Irish men, as well as the most disgusting sneeze in move history.
Wilson, Sudekis, Fischer and Applegate all perform ably, but none brings anything special or new to the table, though that's kind of the point. They're all supposed to be suffocating under the beige-ness of their lives. But Derek Waters is delightfully unhinged as the barista/DJ in love with the woman Rick is pursuing, and Richard Jenkins fully commits to going 180 degrees against type as Coakley, the aging ladies man that Fred and Rick all look up to.
The Farrelly Brothers have repeatedly called "Hall Pass" a "chick flick," with Peter insisting "the women win… I mean, they win across the board." It's an absurd claim about a film that features the sort of scatological and sexual hijinks on display here, and the idea that the women "win" is equally misguided, but you can see the point he's trying to make, however poorly. The only way this movie works at all is if it's clear the Farrellys understand that the men are overgrown adolescent dolts, and they obviously do.
Like the Farrellys earlier work, "Hall Pass" gets its laughs by mining the dregs of the human condition, leaving you laughing in spite of your better judgment. Rather than a "chick flick," "Hall Pass" is a romcom for men, which is to say the emphasis is on the second syllable rather than the first.

It's possible, but it's extremely unlikely.
It's not unusual for a sick child to run a temperature of 104 or even 105 degrees Fahrenheit. To cause brain damage, a child's temperature would need to reach 107.6 degrees F — hard to imagine, unless the child was trapped in a hot car, for instance, or was very overdressed while feverish.
So try not to panic when your child has a fever. In fact, while a fever is a sign that something's wrong, in many instances it will help your child fight a bacterial or viral infection, both by raising his temperature — most bacteria and viruses thrive at 98.6 degrees F — and by spurring the immune system to make more infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies.

College of Music receives $1 million gift to jazz up Michigan
The Michigan State University College of Music will soon launch a new jazz studies artist in residence program thanks to a $1 million gift from MSU Federal Credit Union, the largest-ever investment in the college's curriculum.
"We are so grateful for the ongoing generosity of MSUFCU to MSU, which has enabled countless people to access a wide variety of university resources," said MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon. "This gift, to fund the MSUFCU Jazz Artist in Residence Endowment, will have an exceptional and lasting effect on campus as well as in our community, state and nation."
Watch four-minute video:
Programming is expected to start within the next year.
"This financial gift from MSUFCU is a true game changer," said Rodney Whitaker, director of jazz studies. "It will elevate our discipline to a higher level educationally, creatively and musically and it will provide our students and the community access to world-class cultural experiences."
National and international jazz artists will visit campus for a week to teach College of Music students and publicly perform, Whitaker said. They'll also work with local high school and middle school jazz students. Jazz Orchestra I, the college's premier student jazz ensemble, will tour with the artists around the state, focusing especially on diverse communities.
Founded in 2001, the Jazz Studies Program leads the college's outreach efforts, teaching and mentoring youth at Community Music School-Detroit, Whitaker said. MSU Professors of Jazz, a faculty performance group, has strong ties to Detroit and will work with the musicians to inspire cultural prosperity in urban areas.
In fact, the College of Music hopes to reach 50,000 people through performances and social media, while also recruiting high school students to MSU jazz studies, he said.
"This generous gift from MSUFCU will further strengthen one of America's great jazz programs and will provide unforgettable musical and educational experiences not only for our students, but also for thousands of people across Michigan," said James Forger, dean of the MSU College of Music.
Last May, saxophonist Branford Marsalis visited the College of Music as part of its MSUFCU Showcase Series event. His visit, along with those from other well-known jazz professionals, inspired the residency, Whitaker said.
"Integrating arts and culture along with economic development helps to create an enriched community," said Patrick McPharlin, president and CEO of MSUFCU. "This gift will also provide opportunities for students and the community to experience world renowned jazz artists close to home."
MSUFCU is a generous supporter of MSU initiatives. Since 2003, the MSU Federal Credit Union Study Abroad Scholarship endowment has provided funding to help nearly 1,000 students participate in study abroad programs. In 2008, MSUFCU gifted to create the MSUFCU Institute for Arts and Creativity at Wharton Center for Performing Arts, which annually reaches more than 30,000 learners of all ages through the performing arts.

Numbered Levels
From Social Patterns

Revision as of 23:12, 1 December 2008
Participants in a community need some way to gauge their own personal development within that community: how far they've progressed; how deeply they've interacted with the community or its offerings. Additionally, these same measures can be used to compare members, to understand who has more or less experience in the community.
Use When
- You want to enable your users to track their individual growth in the community.
- A large (or open-ended) number of levels are desirable. For example, World of Warcraft currently allows users to advance to Level 70.
- You want to enable easy comparisons between users. (At a glance, 'Level 1' is more junior than 'Level 5'.)
- You're trying to encourage a more-competitive community spirit.
Establish a family of reputations on a progressive continuum. Each level achieved is higher than the one before it. Levels are referred to by their number, which makes comparisons between levels very straightforward and easy to do. (Numbered levels, however, can be perceived as cold and impersonal)</p>
- In most cases, Numbered Level systems should go no higher than 10 or so.
- A strong-point of Numbered Level systems is that they can be added to at a later date with minimal fuss.
- If, for example, too great a percentage of your community starts to achieve the upper limits of system (see Exclusivity, below) then consider 'opening up' new higher levels for top achievers to attain.
- (Don't do this too frequently though, or the community may perceive that you're just dangling an unattainable carrot out in front of them.)
- In user-testing, we've seen some strong reactions to Numbered Levels from folks who make associations with 'being graded' or assessed. Others noted that numbers just "seem impersonal and kinda cold."
- Be careful about noting lower-leveled users in information-dense contexts such as lists because there will be many of them.
- For example, in a Search Results Page showing user-generated content, don't fill a table column by noting all of the Level 1 and 2 contributors.
- Instead, consider calling out only the most remarkable Level-holders in the community. ("Level 10 Contributor!")
Exclusivity in the Numbered Levels pattern relates to the distribution of reputations across the available levels. Ideally, from the high end of the register to the low, your Numbered Levels should follow a Power-law distribution. (For a good general discussion ofpower laws in a social-web context, see Clay Shirky's Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality.

Waiting patiently outside the Ravens' locker room following their resounding AFC championship game victory over the New England Patriots, Olympic gold medalist swimmer Michael Phelps and Orioles center fielder Adam Jones paid tribute to the AFC champions.
Phelps and Jones have both attended several games this season and made the trip to New England to support the Ravens again.
"This is the coolest thing," Phelps said before heading inside to congratulate middle linebacker Ray Lewis and several other players. "This is one of the most incredible things I've seen in my entire life. It's pretty special. It's an emotional time for us. It's going to be a great two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. We're fighters. They did it."
Jones wanted to thank the Ravens, especially Ed Reed, for going to several Orioles games during their resurgent season.
Jones visited the Ravens' training complex Friday, wishing them well before they started their road trip.
"This is good for Baltimore," Jones said. "It's one hell of a ride. I was at The Castle the other day. This is the perfect ride for Ray Lewis and this team. I'm a big supporter. They support us and we support them. It's a love-love relationship. I appreciate Torrey Smith, I appreciate every person that has donned an Orioles cap to support us. I see them sitting behind the dugout. When I'm on deck, trust me, I give them a lot of love.
"They appreciate me coming out here. Hey, I'll be in New Orleans, too. The city of Baltimore has been beyond great to me and my family. I respect them. I've gotten to know a couple of players. I have the utmost respect for these players. They risk their lives out there for a common goal. Right now, their common goal has been achieved."

Today's guest blog post is by AAA member, Ashkuff.
Name's Ashkuff, and I'm a business anthropologist. Part of my job involves conducting solid academic research, and presenting it in a slick and business-savvy way. I honed my design skills while running the marketing committee at UF's Office of Multicultural & Diversity Affairs, and I learned about poster presentations through trial-and-error at various conferences. After my poster presentation at American Anthropological Association's (AAA) 110th conference in Montreal, AAA invited me to guest blog about anthropology and communication. Shortly afterward, colleagues started asking me to help them design their research posters, giving me the chance to perfect my designs even more.
Based on that experience, I want to offer anthropologists four design tips for research posters!
Have one clearly-defined goal for your poster. Vague goals make themselves difficult to pursue. Multiple goals overwhelm each other. Instead, decide upon one specific goal that would make you feel successful, even if all else failed. For example: "I want passersby to stop and discuss my research with me."
Have a straightforward call-to-action. Marketers have long understood that, if you want something from your audience, you need to make it clear and convenient. Think of infomercials ending with: "CALL NOW! 1-800-EXAMPLE." Likewise, if you want passersby to discuss your research with you, your poster should ask them to! Heck, for their convenience, try including a list of suggested discussion topics.
Keep it short and simple! You're presenting a poster, not a paper. Passersby don't have time or patience for lots of reading. You'll be lucky for one minute of a passerby's time, and people read around 300wpm. Also, drop jargon that your audiences won't grasp. For example, imagine presenting "The Biokinesic Anthropology of Parkour" at an anthropology conference. Your audience will probably grasp general anthro jargon, but tune out biokinesic-specific or Parkour-specific jargon.
Start with a template, and customize it to your liking! Your research and adventures probably keep you too busy for details like margin alignment and padding width. So don't start from scratch.

adventures? Burning to venture out yourself? Let this applied anthropologist remind you how.

Ethical Sourcing Framework
Office Brands strives to promote sustainability and minimise the adverse environmental impacts of its operations and products sold by its dealers.
Office Brands aims to supply its dealers with access to products and services in a manner that minimises adverse environmental impacts, by being sensitive to environmental issues throughout the dealer network.
Office Brands undertakes to:
- Comply with all applicable laws, regulations and internally-established environmental performance standards;
- Communicate this policy to all its stakeholders;
- Promote sustainability by conserving resources in conducting its internal operations and giving it consideration in the preferred supplier agreements for the procurement of products available for its dealers to distribute;
- Seek opportunities to improve its ability to identify, measure and control the environmental impacts of its preferred suppliers and their products; and
- Maintain an open and constructive dialogue on environmental issues with its key stakeholders.
Office Brands undertakes to engage with its preferred suppliers, internal teams, independent environmental leaders and its dealers, in its efforts to promote sustainability and minimise adverse environmental impacts.
Ethical Sourcing of Paper-Based Products
To achieve its ethical sourcing objectives, Office Brands seeks to eliminate, from its supply chain, wood fibre from the following "high risk" sources:
- Forest known or suspected to be of high conservation value, except where the forest is certified, or in progress to certification under a credible certification system;
- Forest actively converted from natural forest to a plantation or other land use, unless justified on grounds of net social and environmental gain (including enhancement of high conservation values in the surrounding landscape);
- Material illegally harvested or traded;
- Material traded in a way that drives violent armed conflict or threatens national or regional stability;
- Harvesting or processing entities, or related political or military regimes, that violate human rights;
- Material sourced from genetically modified trees; and
- Unknown source forests.
To progress its achievement of these goals, Office Brands undertakes to:
- Seek information from suppliers on the source of the wood, fibre or other forest materials in the products sourced for its dealers;
- Review chain-of-custody information against this policy and supporting operational procedures; and
- Continually improve the level of compliance with these policies using annual reviews, reports and actions agreed with our preferred suppliers.

Canoe fraudster John Darwin, who lives near Hartlepool, has been ordered by a court to pay a £40,000 lump sum over to the authorities after two pensions matured.
A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing at Teesside Crown Court heard he had so far only paid back £121 of the £679,073.62 he was found to have benefitted from after faking his own death.
Darwin, 63, of Seaton Carew, did not challenge the application by the Crown to have the money removed from his bank accounts, which are the subject of restraints.
The pensions were understood to be legitimately earned from his time as a teacher and a prison officer. Although lawfully obtained, the Crown could still get hold of them, following the hearing.
After the hearing Jolyon Perks, who prosecuted, said this was not the end of the matter for Darwin, and should he come into more money in the future, further applications to take back the cash would be made.
He told reporters: "We believe it sends a strong signal to those who seek to benefit from their criminal conduct that these orders have teeth. They will be pursued and they will be rigorously enforced. The Proceeds of Crime Act is intended to be draconian."
Darwin did not comment as he left court. It was the same venue where he was jailed with his wife Anne in 2008 for fraud.
Anne Darwin, now split from her husband, has repaid more than £500,000 under a separate Proceeds of Crime order after selling properties held in her name. She still has around £177,000 outstanding to pay back.
John Darwin was reported missing in a canoe in the North Sea in March 2002.
His wife collected more than £500,000 in life insurance payouts, while he hid in their home, leaving their two sons to believe he was dead.
In December 2007, Darwin walked into a London police station, claiming he had amnesia, and was reunited with his sons who were stunned to hear he was alive.
His wife, who had fled with him to Panama, pretended to be shocked until a photograph emerged of them posing together after his supposed death.
She was later jailed for six-and-a-half years for fraud and money-laundering.
Outside court Detective Sergeant Tommy Maughan from the North East Regional Asset Recovery Team said: "I'm pleased with the outcome today; Mr Darwin has now seen first-hand the full force of the Proceeds of Crime Act legislation in action.
"It's a robust law that allows police and prosecutors to make sure those who have benefited from crime pay back what they owe until their debt is paid.
"The court assessed how much John Darwin benefited from crime some time ago, and today they have taken into account recently identified assets which the Judge has agreed can be confiscated. I would like to thank the Crown Prosecution Service for their assistance in bringing this application to court.
"His full benefit from crime has still not been paid off, and if he comes into any substantial assets in the future we will again consider asking the court to revisit the Confiscation Order granted against him in 2009.
"Criminals should be warned that even if assets are gained legitimately this legislation can be used and their crimes may just come back to haunt them."

FVWM is an extremely powerful ICCCM-compliant multiple virtual desktop window manager for the X Window system. Development is active, and support is excellent. For those who wonder, FVWM means Feeble Virtual Window Manager.
This wiki is by no means complete, therefore, it would be nice if everybody could share their knowledge. I think, that it is not wise to copy the man pages of FVWM, but various info about the real potential of FVWM would be nice. The discussion in Arch Forums is here.
- 1 Installing FVWM
- 2 Starting FVWM
- 3 Make your FVWM better
- 4 External Links
Installing FVWM
There are three versions of FVWM available for Archlinux. There are so-called stable, unstable and patched releases. Stable is of version 2.4.20 (released on 6-Dec-2006) and is really robust, but it lacks many features compared with unstable release. Install stable fvwm with the following command:
# pacman -S fvwm
Unstable release is of version 2.5.28, which has been released quite recently (20-Sep-2009). Although it is called unstable, but it has no stability issues at all. To install it:
# pacman -S fvwm-devel
The commands above will install the official version of the WM. However, if you want/need to use some more features than it provides, you can install the patched version from archlinuxfr (see Unofficial user repositories) or AUR. To install it from AUR:
$ yaourt -S fvwm-patched
or if you have archlinuxfr added to your pacman.conf, execute this command as root:
# pacman -S fvwm-patched
One should not mix fvwm window manager and the project FVWM-Crystal, which can be also found in Arch repositories.
Starting FVWM
fvwm will automatically be listed in kdm/gdm in the sessions menu. Otherwise, add
exec fvwm2
exec fvwm
to your user's .xinitrc.
Users should check out SLiM tutorial for multiple environments with .xinitrc .
For example mine .xinitrc is as follows:
DEFAULT_SESSION=fvwm case $1 in fvwm*) exec ck-launch-session fvwm ;; awesome) exec ck-launch-session awesome ;; *) exec ck-launch-session $DEFAULT_SESSION ;; esac
Make your FVWM better
When you start fvwm, you will get into the blank configuration. However, when you left-click on the desktop, you will be able to select to configure FVWM. chose wanted modules and you are ready to go. Check out the configs in the http://www.box-look.org. One should also consider checking FVWM forums at http://fvwm.lair.be
SLiM is very good login manager, that does not have many dependencies and acts well with FVWM. SLiM can also be used with multiple environments as well so it makes it very appealing if one need several environments, but want to have a real control of the process. Useful applications are similar to those suggested for Openbox or Fluxbox.
Since fvwm comes pretty blank in the beginning, you need to create your desktop from scratch... or almost. So here are some tips, gathered from the internet.
fvwm beginners guide by Jaimos F Skriletz
Although it is quite outdated, it helps to understand how FVWM functions and how to build your basic setup. FVWM beginners guide
Thomas Adam tips for FVWM2
Here are some tips by Thomas Adam written in http://fvwm.lair.be forum (Google cached copy of it). Currently it is unreachable due to some reason (I just copied and formatted everything).
I am not too good at these things, so bear with me. I've been seeing more and more configs (both in terms of answering questions on these forums, and via IRC, with ad-hoc email, etc.) that seem to be redefining existing functionality for no good reason other than (I assume) ignorance.
So here's a few things to bear in mind (in no particular order):
1. SetEnv.
Ah yes. SetEnv. I would never had imagined how such an insignificant command would annoy me so much, especially through its apparent mis-use. It seems more and more people are defining things like this:
SetEnv fvwm_home $[HOME]/.fvwm
Which is innocent enough, and indeed works. Except for the fact that it's completely unnecessary. FVWM defines for you (which you yourself can change) the environment variable FVWM_USERDIR which by default will point to ~/.fvwm -- so why in hell people seem to think setting "fvwm_home" is doing themselves any good is beyond me.
Now consider for the moment the implications of doing so. By and large it's fine, because you presumably wrote the configuration, right? Well, yes, but what happens when you decide to share your all singing all dancing, brand-new complex function you spent the past two days trying to write? What if it contains a reference to "fvwm_home"? The person deciding to try that function is going to come unstuck because he or she may not have "fvwm_home" defined. You should always rely on using "FVWM_USERDIR" where you need to reference a likely and pre-defined location for personal configuration files.
If you're one of these people whom uses a split configuration file via a series of Read commands, and hence had relied on something like:
Read $[fvwm_home]$[some_other_location]/file1
Read understands (and expands) the variable "$." relative to a path -- so you can use that as well to further increase neutrality.
Not to mention that it leaves endless environment variables defined which might only ever get used once.
2. InitFunction versus StartFunction versus RestartFunction
Unless you're someone as foolish as I am, and are still using FVWM 2.4.19, FVWM 1.24 and FVWM 2.2.5, this is going to be of consideration to you. OK, I joke. This is really only of importance to the small minority of people running FVWM stable (2.4.19). For the rest of you running 2.5.X (at the time I writing I would hope 2.5.16) then you need to be made aware of the following:
You don't need to use InitFunction
Gasp! It's true. In FVWM 2.4.X, you do need to use it because the Test command does not include tests for Init, Reboot, etc. However for FVWM 2.5.X, forget InitFunction, and incorporate it into your StartFunction. Here's an example:
DestroyFunc InitFunction AddToFunc InitFunction + I Exec exec xsetroot -solid pink + I Exec exec xconsole
DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I Module FvwmProxy + I Module FvwmButtons myBar
Put the two together, and from within your StartFunction you can define what's in InitFunction via the use of the following:
+ I Test (Init) ...
DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I Module FvwmProxy + I Module FvwmButtons myBar + I Test (Init) Exec exec xsetroot -solid pink + I Test (Init) Exec exec xconsole
And that's it. There you have it. You now have a StartFuction which FVWM reads at Init, Reboot and Exit. The same logic applies for RestartFunction:
You don't need to use RestartFunction
What is even more perplexing about this is I have seen a lot of configs which define the following:
DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I Exec exec xterm -T Wooo -ls
DestroyFunc RestartFunction AddToFunc RestartFunction + I Exec exec xterm -T Woo -ls
Now, guess what this does. That's right, when you reboot FVWM you get two copies of the same xterm running. That's because, again, StartFunction is read by FVWM at initialisation and reboots. FVWM hence re-reads RestartFunction and StartFunction and does the same thing twice. How do you get around this. Easy: remove the definition for RestartFunction entirely. If that application is only intended to be started during a restart (slightly odd scenario) then use:
DestroyFunc StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction + I Test (Restart) Exec exec xterm -T Woo -ls
3. Exec exec and the dreaded FvwmCommand versus PipeRead.
This one baffles me profoundly. The classic observation of this is with some of the many different incantations of Thumbnail functions that exist. Here's a snippet:
DestroyFunc Thumbnail AddToFunc Thumbnail + I Exec nice 19...; some_other_shell_commands; FvwmCommand 'WindowStyle foo, bar'
ARGH! What the hell is that all about? For the love of God, learn how to use PipeRead. Please? It's not that hard. Consider what's happening with the above. Exec forces a shell, some idiotic processing goes on (probably running convert a few times) and then FvwmCommand forces FVWM to be told instructions via FIFO. How dull, when all this time PipeRead would have saved you all of the superluousness of it all.
PipeRead forces a shell, but more importantly one is then able to "echo" commands back to FVWM. Not only does this synchronise things (especially if the PipeRead command exists within a function) but it means you don't have to worry about sending commands back indirectly via FvwmCommand. FvwmCommand is only useful if you're calling some external script that doesn't rely on directly ending with FVWM (or where you don't want it to block with PipeRead).
If you ever find yourself writing:
+ I Exec ...; FvwmCommand '....'
You want PipeRead.
4. I'm too good to use ImagePath.
This one always makes me laugh, and it comes back to point 1, with SetEnv. Again, most people delight in doing something like this:
SetEnv fvwm_home $[HOME]/.fvwm SetEnv fvwm_images $[HOME]/.images SetEnv fvwm_icons $[fvwm_home]/.icons
Style some_app Icon $[fvwm_icons]/icon.png
When actually all you need to do is this:
# Remove all those damn SetEnv commands ImagePath $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.icons:+
Then you can do stuff like this:
Style some_app Icon icon.png
And FVWM will know where to look by traversing the directories listed in the ImagePath.
If I think of any more, I'll let you know.

Labour Market Implications of a Compressed Wage Structure when Education and Training are EndogenousMalchow-Møller, Nikolaj; Skaksen, Jan Rose (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We consider the economic implications of a compressed wage structure which is exogenously determined by institutions. An important feature of our analysis is that human capital is endogenous and can be achieved either as formal education or as informal training within firms after entering the labour market. While institutional wage compression decreases the incentives of individuals to become educated, it increases the incentives of firms to invest in training. As a result, the net effects of wage compression on the aggregate human capital level and GDP are ambiguous. Moreover, with wage compression, a skillbiased technological change may cause wage inequality to decrease.

Abstract: Product Market Integration, Comparative Advantages and Labour Market Performance* In a two-country model with trade driven by comparative advantages, it is considered how imperfectly competitive labour markets are affected by lower frictions in international goods trade. Easier goods trading is equivalent to increased mobility of employment across countries and thus a change in the trade-off between wages and employment faced by wage setters. While the effects of product market integration on the trade-off between wages and employment in general is ambiguous, it is shown that product market integration works like a general improvement in productivity via the specialization it allows through trade. Unambiguously, real wages and employment and welfare improve upon reductions in trade frictions, and therefore workers are better off irrespective of whether the market power of unions is enhanced or muted.

A Disaggregate PerspectiveMalchow-Møller, Nikolaj; Skaksen, Jan Rose (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Skill-Biased Technological Change in Denmark: A Disaggregate Perspective* In this paper, we provide an industry-level analysis of skill-biased technological change (SBTC) in Denmark over the last two decades. The analysis shows that SBTC has varied considerably across industries, and traditionally large Danish industries have experienced relatively less SBTC. This may partly explain why wage inequality between skilled and less skilled has risen less in Denmark than in other countries. We also find that SBTC has been concentrated in already skill-intensive industries. This contains important information about future labour requirements, as the relative importance of these industries must be expected to grow, thereby reinforcing the shift in demand for skilled labour.

When Is an Illness Contagious?
How do you know when a child's illness is in the contagious stage? I run a daycare and would like to be able to take the right precautions at the right time when kids get sick.
– Yvette
It's important to keep in mind that most viral illnesses are contagious before a child shows any symptoms of being sick. In other words, a child who is infected is often spreading the virus even before feeling sick — which makes it virtually impossible to stop the spread of infections.
The best way to prevent the spread of germs is to encourage kids to wash their hands well and often, even when they feel well. Kids should wash their hands after playing outside, before eating, after coughing or sneezing, and after going to the bathroom.

Political Risk Insurance at the Forefront of Carbon Finance
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Green is the new black. With all of us more aware of global warming and the need to save our environment, the big question we at MIGA are asking is: what can we as an institution do to contribute?
One answer is that we can continue to do what MIGA has always done: supporting private investors. Specifically, however, MIGA can support those investors in the now well-established market of certified emission reductions (CERs) that are freely tradable on the European market, but depend heavily upon activities undertaken in developing countries. Investors relying on CERs as returns on their investments (in lieu of dividends) want assurance that governments that have signed up to the Kyoto Protocol will not renege on their commitments. This is very much a political risk, and with the right structuring is potentially a powerful political risk insurance product line.
