Josh started playing baseball very young. His father (on this committment day to LSU) claimed that he was playing since he was 3. I am not certain about this, but Josh played baseball from ages 9 to 15 in the Scotlandville Sports Academy, "a community organization determined to enhance the lives of at risk youth in the Baton Rouge community through structured athletics and educational activities".
Josh Burris in 2009 during High School
He later attended the Scottlandville Magnet High School in East Baton Rouge Parish, LA, where he was an outfielder and pitcher. At his senior year, he was listed as 5'10" and 165 lbs, and during High School he was batting and throwing right handed. In the summer of 2009 he was joining the curcuit of top prospects at the National Showcase, who were recruited either by pro or college teams. Here is a hitting and pitching video of Burris from the Showcase (about 3 years ago.) Scouted and touted as "one of the liveliest arms in Louisiana", later that year, on November 18, 2009, Josh signed his letter of intent to go to Louisiana State University, on his High School Auditorium among his family and friends.
In his Senior season at High School Josh was the East MVP in the High School All Star two-game Series, when he pitched three scoreless innings in the first game and went a combined 2 for 4 at the plate with a run scored in both games. He was also named in the 2010 LA All League First Team. A note of interest: The only other player from Josh's High School who played professional baseball, is RHP Michael Taylor who was drafted by the Cubs in 1975 and played 2 seasons in their Florida State League (High A) team.
For sore reason, Josh did not enroll at Louisiana State, instead he enrolled at the NJCAA Louisiana State University - Eunice for the 2010 and 2011 season. LSU-E, is one of the biggest baseball powerhouses in the Junior College circuit, being crowned National Champions 3 times the last 6 seasons and always competing. Burris played both in the Fall and Spring Seasons. He wore uniform #6 during the Fall and uniform # 3 during the Spring. A two-way player, OF and relief pitcher, he hit .273/.432/.364 in 55 AB (started 19 games) with 15 hits, 1 triple, 1 home run, scored 21 runs and drove in 7, while walking 17 times and striking out 11. He led the conference in stolen bases with 13 in 16 attempts. His Fielding percentage was .292. As a pitcher, in 13 games he recorded a save pitching 21.3 allowing 14 Hits, 12 Runs (11 Earned), 20 Bases on Balls, while striking out 32, limiting opposing hitters to a .203 BAA, and recording 3 WP, 3 HBP and 1 BK. During his Freshman (and only) season in College, he platooned at the OF (still hitting RH) and was used in long relief/closer role. He struggled early in the year with command. But, has been extremely dominant in his last few outings. His fastball averages 93/94, and his excellent curveball was his main weapon. He was also named in the 2011 Louisiana All State Team
Burris with the LSU Eunice Bengals Uniform:
After the College Season ended, Josh Burris signed with the Acadiana Cane Cutters (Lafayette, LA) of the Texas Collegiate Summer League. There he was also a 2-way player, but primarily a pitcher. He was listed as 5'11", 195 lbs at that point. He pitched in 9 Games (10.3 IP) recording 5 Saves, accumulated a 7.84 ERA, allowing 6 BB and striking out 14. His WHIP was 2.400 and the opponents' batting average was .367 BAA. All of the runs scored in 4 games, and he was near perfect in the last 5 games he pitched. As a batter he started switch-hitting in the summer league. In addition to OF he played some second base also, as he did during College. He hit .261/.358/.296 in 39 games (115 AB) scoring 16 runs and driving in 11 while walked 16 times was hit by a pitch 2 and struck out 27. He stole 23 of 27 bases and his fielding percentage was .946. He wore Uniform number 2 and he was named the 4th best prospect in the Texas Collegiate League by Baseball America.
Burris in the Acadiana Cane Cutters uniform
Drafted and signed late by the Twins, Burris will focus on pitching. Will probably start the season in Elizabethton's bullpen and work to develop an off-spead pitch to go with his lively fastball and excellent curve. I had an opportunity to see him pitch this Spring Training at Fort Myers and it was a delight. Also he looks taller than last season's 5'11". I would say that he is probably 6'1" and close to 190 lbs. Excellent raw stuff, but had issues with command. Once that his harnessed he has a very high upside and could be one of the surprises in the organization. Anecdotally, I was watching an intersquad game between the Twins AAA/AA groups while Anthony Slama was pitching for the AAA squad and the sound of the ball hitting the catchers mitt at the field behind me made me turn and look and I moved away to watch Burris pitch. He was that good.
You can follow Josh Burris on twitter @CurlyCurveball (appropriate handle) and he has a MySpace page, you can find here (with some HS prom pictures)
I will update as soon as news happen.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Female Employees Subjected to Sexual Comments and Touching, Federal Agency Says
LEXINGTON, Va. – Lexington, Va., Sawmill Operator George C. Shumate, Inc. violated federal law by allowing a male president and company owner to sexually harass female employees and by firing one of the victims for complaining, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint against Shumate Sawmill, Monique Ingram and other similarly situated women were subjected to sexual harassment from around November 2005 until at least January 2007. The complaint charged that the harassment included the owner's attempts to kiss Ingram and other female employees; rubbing his elbow up against Ingram's breast; asking Ingram to rub his neck during which time he would make moaning sounds; and offering a female employee $100 if she would show him her breasts.
The EEOC said that Ingram asked the owner to stop making sexual comments and to stop touching her, and that she complained to one of the company's supervisors about the owner's sexual harassment. However, according to the EEOC, the company failed to take corrective and appropriate action to stop the harassment, but rather discharged Ingram in February 2007 in retaliation for her complaints about the owner's sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment and retaliation for complaining about it violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In the lawsuit, the EEOC seeks compensatory and punitive damages for the affected women, as well as injunctive and other non-monetary relief. The EEOC filed suit, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. George C. Shumate, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:06cv00050), after exhausting efforts to reach a voluntary settlement.
"We have brought this lawsuit because the employer refused to end the sexually hostile work environment created by the president and owner of this company, and no one – male or female – should have to tolerate this type of sexual misconduct in the workplace," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the agency's Charlotte District Office, whose jurisdiction includes much of the state of Virginia. "The EEOC is committed to using all available means, including litigation, to combat sexual harassment in the workplace."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
(defpkg "pkg" imports) is the most recently executed
successful definition of
"pkg" in this ACL2 session and that it
has since been undone, as by
ubt. Any future attempt in this
session to define
"pkg" as a package must specify an identical
imports list.
The restriction stems from the need to implement the reinstallation
of saved logical worlds as in error recovery and the
oops command.
Suppose that the new
defpkg attempts to import some symbol,
not imported by the previous definition of
"pkg". Because it was
not imported in the original package, the symbol
pkg::sym, different
a::sym, may well have been created and may well be used in some
saved worlds. Those saved worlds are Common Lisp objects being held
for you ``behind the scenes.'' In order to import
a::sym into
"pkg" now we would have to unintern
pkg::sym, rendering those
saved worlds ill-formed. It is because of saved worlds that we do
not actually clear out a package when it is undone.
At one point we thought it was sound to allow the new
defpkg to
import a subset of the old. But that is incorrect. Suppose the old
definition of
"pkg" imported
a::sym but the new one does not.
Suppose we allowed that and implemented it simply by setting the
imports of
"pkg" to the new subset. Then consider the conjecture
(eq a::sym pkg::sym). This ought not be a theorem because we did
not import
a::sym into
"pkg". But in fact in AKCL it is a theorem
pkg::sym is read as
a::sym because of the old imports.

Louis Vuitton Lockit MM Replica Handbag ReviewCategories:Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton Lockit MM is one of the newest stars within the handbag world. This simple looking, classy and versatile purse has conquered out hearts instantly and now where ever you look there is at least one celebrity wearing this fabulous chich-city bag. And why wouldn't we? I mean, it is spacious, sophisticated and easy to accessorize.
Louis Vuitton speaks of this splendid model with beautiful words, declaring it as the perfect example of understated style and lines, a purse that fascinates with its ability of exuding feminine elegance. I must agree with this very famous designer and admit that out of the numerous chich designs ever created by LV, the Lockit MM is my favorite. I absolutely adore its simplicity and natural look. You could wear this bag without too much efforts at the office, while shopping, when you go out or even at a very special event. All you need is a pencil dress or an elegant blouse and pencil skirt and you are set!
If you too love the new Louis Vuitton Lockit MM then I bet that you need a few tips for finding a perfect replica. As this refined bag made out of full-grain Taurillon leather is perfect for carrying around your everyday essentials I am determined to tell you everything about buying a beautiful and authentic looking LV Lockit MM fake purse.
Let's start with the leather. As I was saying earlier, Louis Vuitton uses a very special type of leather for this bag- full-grain Taurillon leather. This material has a special feel when you touch it and it offers extra sturdiness. Plus, it defines its special structure. The Louis Vuitton Lockit MM has an arched shape that is very original and difficult to replicate. The top and the base of the bag are slightly curved anf you need to pay attention to this when you are purchasing a fake.
Also, the size of the LV Lockit MM is 18.1 x 11.8 x 6.3 inches( length x height x width ). It is enough to carry around all your important stuff and still very discrete to wear it with elegant and stylish clothes. It goes without saying, when you buy a replica bag of this model, pay attention to the dimensions and make sure these are respected.
The Louis Vuitton Lockit MM is also very comfortable due to its thin and supple handles made out of python leather that feel great on the shoulder, elbow or hand no matter how full the bag may be. It also comes with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap.
On the front side of the LV Lockit MM replica bag there should be the inconic Louis Vuitton Paris palladium signature, on the top part there should be a zip closure and on the base the protective bottom studs. The hardware is represented by shiny palladium brass metallic pieces that carry engravings with the brand's logo. The replica LV Lockit should also include a padlock. Also, check the inside of the Lockit replica bag. Here there should be 2 open side pockets and 1 interior zipped pocket. These are very versatile and functional.
Just in case you were curious, the original Louis Vuitton Lockit MM costs $3,700 in the mono-block versions and $4,300 in the snake skin-handles version. So at this prices, you've better learn the basics of this beautiful purse and start searching for a good quality replica bag.

Fewer Incidents of Far-Right, Lone-Wolf Homicide Since Sept. 11, Study Shows
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Despite increased awareness of lone-actor shootings, incidents of far-right, "lone-wolf" terrorism have been fewer in the past 10 years, according a new study by a terrorism researcher at the University of Arkansas.
Jeff Gruenewald, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, and colleagues Steven Chermak at Michigan State University and Joshua D. Freilich at the City University of New York examined characteristics of far-right, extremist homicides in the United States over the past decade. Relying on the Extremist Crime Database, the most comprehensive database of far-right homicides in the United States, the researchers identified three types of far-right, lone-actor terrorists.
Far-right "lone wolves" and "wolf packs" are terrorists who are affiliated with hate groups but execute their attacks alone or in small cells, respectively. Far-right "loner" terrorists are self-radicalized and do not associate with other extremists. Loner terrorists plan and execute their attacks on their own accord.
In an article published in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, the researchers offer a comprehensive definition of far-right extremism. Key attributes include anti-government conspiracy theories and White supremacism. Far-right extremists are those who adhere to such beliefs and commit lethal acts of violence against both political targets and social minorities. The researchers findings will inform law-enforcement officials and help police agencies craft effective policies to counter far-right, lone-wolf terrorism.
"Overall, our findings indicate that the frequency of far-right violence – in this case, homicides – committed by so-called lone wolves has not experienced a recent increase as some have suggested," Gruenewald said. "More fatal attacks by far-right loners, lone wolves and lone-wolf packs occurred in the 1990s than in more recent years. In fact, there has been a downward trend since 2001. This finding questions claims by media, politicians and other researchers that far-right, lone-wolf attacks have increased and pose a growing threat to U.S. security."
Recent events – the deadly shooting at Los Angeles International Airport in November and the 2011 Arizona shooting that killed six people and injured 14, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords – have focused attention on domestic far-rightist violence and other lone actors. Gruenewald and colleagues sought to confirm claims that far-right, lone-wolf attacks were on the rise and to fill in other critical gaps in research on far-right, lone-wolf terrorism.
The researchers found a few commonalities across all terrorist suspect types and many important distinctions based on whether the suspect was a loner, lone wolf or member of a wolf pack. Almost all far-right, violent suspects were white men. Also, the vast majority of far-right attacks across all three categories did not involve bombs.
"Our study found that these attacks were carried out with firearms, knives or other blunt instruments, which makes the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by far-rightists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols an anomaly," Gruenewald said.
But similarities were few compared to many important differences based on terrorist suspect type. Loners, typically in their late 30s, were more likely to target multiple victims. They were primarily concerned with anti-government beliefs and focused more on single issues, such as abortion. Roughly a third of this group affiliated with a single issue, compared to only 4 percent for lone wolves and none of the wolf-pack attacks. Loners were more likely to target abortion providers and government officials, and most of their attacks – 82 percent – involved a firearm.
Suspects in all three categories suffered with mental illness, but evidence showed that a greater percentage of loners – 40 percent, compared to 20 percent for lone wolves and only 3 percent for members of wolf packs – suffered some type of psychological disorder.
Differences between lone wolves and wolf-pack members were subtler. Of the three groups, lone wolves – those suspects who affiliated with hate groups or far-right organizations but who executed their attacks alone – were the most active in the far-right-wing extremist movement. Victims of lone-wolf attacks were more likely to be non-white. Lone wolves and especially members of wolf packs were proportionately more likely to be affiliated with neo-Nazism, many of them belonging to formal or informal groups of neo-Nazis. On average, wolf-pack members were much younger, tending to be in their early 20s, as opposed to early 30s for lone wolves and late 30s for loner suspects.
The overall most common ideological issue for both lone wolves and wolf-pack members was hatred and hostility toward racial and ethnic minorities. Not surprisingly, victims of both of these groups were more likely to be non-white. More than half of wolf-pack attacks involved knives (46 percent) or blunt objects (16 percent) as their primary weapons.
"In sum, loners come across as a very different type of offender," Gruenewald said. "These differences are important. Law enforcement and policymakers need to keep these nuances in mind as they fashion prevention policies and respond to these type of attacks."
In addition to Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, the researchers published an article on this topic in Criminology & Public Policy.
Since 2009 Gruenewald has served as an investigator for the Extremist Crime Database project co-led by Chermak and Freilich and funded by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence. At the University of Arkansas, he serves an investigator for the Terrorism Research Center, led by Brent Smith, Distinguished Professor of sociology and criminal justice. The Terrorism Research Center was recently awarded a grant from the National Institute of Justice to continue its research on precursor behaviors of lone-wolf and group-based domestic terrorists in the United States.

Back at the end of May, Microsoft surprisingly turned off the Windows Phone Marketplace from Zune Desktop. The "update" wasn't software based but instead just altered a configuration file on the user's computer, causing the Marketplace to be hidden.
We ended up using a simple hack (more of that below) to bring ours back but now a user in our forum ("rockstarzzz") is claiming that they've received another feature-change notification…
"[I] logged into my PC Zune and got "features have changed" pop up and now I can again see APPS section with my music and video. I've attached the screenshot. I have also downloaded OK!Magazine App off Zune and it worked fine! Anything I've missed? Since I'm using W8 preview, I have put the calendar open for date and time purpose."
Have any of our other users noticed such a change? This won't be a software update but rather a simple registry change not requiring a new download. As we mentioned, we're using a simple registry "hack" that brought ours back so it is a little hard for us to test. Our own George Ponder says he has not seen any pop-ups indicating a change and so far this seems contingent upon either running Windows 8 preview or some other anomaly.
Back in May, Microsoft detailed why they removed the Marketplace for the desktop noting simply that most people did not choose to use that as an option but instead used the Web Marketplace of just their phones. In order to prioritize their engineering teams, Microsoft nixed the desktop version and to be honest, there has been very little blowback.
Another interpretation though is that Microsoft temporarily suspended the desktop version during their "upgrade" process where apps were encrypted, the AppHub changed over to the Dev Center and other behind the scenes alterations were made. Now that those are complete, perhaps Microsoft is looking to bring back the function—at least for Windows 8 users whom will have some type of desktop option.
For those of you who want the desktop Marketplace back, you can re-enable with a registry editor and 30 seconds of your time. The method came from Russian Windows Phone users and was tipped in our comments:
- Open registry editor, go to HCU\Software\Microsoft\Zune
- Create a key with the name "FeaturesOverride"
- Inside this key create a DWORD value with the name "Apps"

6. Rotate the Knees - White Crane Encircling Knees
Begin with the feet together. Bend the knees. Bend the torso and cup the palms over the knee caps. Rotate the knees. Repeat, then reverse the direction. Relax the shoulders. Deepen the breath. When it feels appropriate, over time, sink further down and allow the circles to become more broad. Do not aggravate weak or injured knees. Honor the comfort zone.
Application Suggestions:
7. Right and Left Curving of the Spine
Beginning from the preliminary position bend to the right. The right arm drops down along the side of the leg and the head bends toward the right shoulder. The upper left arm rises up on a line with shoulders and the hand and lower arm dangle form the elbow. Repeat. Inhale toward the upright, exhale toward the bend. Deep slow breaths. This is an easy but extremely important exercise for the muscles along the spine, the neurological reflexes along the spine and the connective tissue that holds the spine together.
Application Suggestions:
8. Front and Back Curving of the Spine Embracing Forcefulness
Beginning from the preliminary position, raise the arms upward. The upper arms move in line with the shoulders. The forearms and hands reach upward form the elbow. The hands reach wide open. The breath is on the inhalation cycle. The spine bends like a bow with the belly and chest forward. The head reaches upwards, tilts backward and the gaze goes skyward. The tail bone is lifted backward and upward. Then, on the exhale, the arms come forward and the hands clench into fists that close tightly before the eyes. The elbows remain bent. The spine reverses into the opposite bow with the middle back curved backward. The head is bent forward, eyes gaze at the fists and the shoulders are rounded. The tail is pulled under ad forward. This is the exhalation and is forceful. Repeat. This is a traditional martial arts power building movement.
9. Reaching Upward, Stretching Outward
Begin with feet together. With the inhalation, bring the palms upward. As they pass before the eyes lace the fingers together and turn the palms upward toward the sky. Stretch upward, hold the breath. Rise up on the balls of the feet. Hold for a moment. Unlock the fingers as the exhalation begins. Extend the arms form the heel of the palm, pressing outward, as the arms are lowered. Repeat.
10. Forward Bending Towards the Toes
This is classic toe touching. Feet are slightly apart. Bend forward slowly. Dangle, relaxed. Stay in the comfort zone. The goal is to place your palms flat on the ground and straighten your knees. This may take a life time to perfect. Patience an perseverance in the practice are the path.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates Extremely Low Among People With HIV
HIV-infected individuals rarely receive proper screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) in the U.S., making an accurate assessment of CRC prevalence extremely challenging, according to research presented at IDWeek 2013.
CRC within the HIV-infected population has not yet been explored to the same extent as a number other non-AIDS-defining cancers, such as anal cancer. Nonetheless, research has indicated a higher prevalence of CRC among people with HIV, highlighting the value of additional data exploring CRC risk and screening.
To wit, Florence Momplaisir, M.D., of Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, and colleagues conducted a cohort study of HIV-infected patients continuously enrolled in Medicaid programs within California, Florida, New York, Ohio or Pennsylvania between 1999 and 2007. These 55,439 individuals were age- and sex-matched with 277,195 randomly sampled Medicaid enrollees in the same state. CRC screening rates were compared across groups, as were CRC diagnosis rates in 2006 specifically.
This was, as might be expected, an extremely diverse cohort. The mean age of all the patients was roughly 50; approximately a third of the patients were female; and a majority of the patients were non-white (though the HIV-infected patients were considerably less likely to be white and more likely to be black than the HIV-uninfected patients).
After adjusting for baseline comorbidities (which were much more common among the HIV-infected population) and age, Momplaisir et al found that in 2006, CRC incidence was similar between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Medicaid patients, though there appeared to be a non-significant trend toward greater incidence among patients with HIV. In total, 94 of the HIV-infected patients (0.2%) were diagnosed with CRC in 2006, compared to 271 of the HIV-uninfected patients (0.1%).
CRC screening, meanwhile, told a different story: The data indicated that receipt of CRC screening was less likely among HIV-infected patients (35.8%) than HIV-uninfected patients (33.7%), a relatively small but statistically significant difference, Momplaisir said.
"There's been multiple studies where ... they found, compared to HIV-negative individuals, HIV-positive individuals were significantly less likely to get colorectal cancer screening," she added. "I think there's a lot of bias, still, in that providers may think that the life expectancy of HIV-positive patients doesn't necessarily justify cancer screening." The time range of the study data corresponds with the period before research began to solidly indicate near-normal life expectancy among HIV-infected patients who receive potent antiretroviral therapy.
Of course, as this study starkly noted, CRC screening rates overall were quite low among this cohort of Medicaid enrollees, which can undermine attempts to accurately assess incidence and prevalence. Momplaisir suggested that Medicaid enrollees -- particularly those with HIV -- may be especially in danger for missed CRC screening opportunities, due at least in part to the challenges of administering the standard CRC screening method, colonoscopy.
"There are a lot of barriers, especially in the low-income community, to get that test done," Momplaisir explained. "It requires a day off of work; someone must bring you to the site to get the test done, because you can't drive back after anesthesia. ... It's possible that those factors are overamplified in the HIV population, and people are less inclined to get colorectal cancer screening."
Momplaisir et al's study poster is available online, as is the study abstract.

Evenhanded, moving account of what ideology does to and for people. Beautifully written, though oddly repetitive in her physical descriptions. Read full review
RIchard Wright said, "There was no agency in the world so capable of making men feel the earth and the people upon it as the Communist Party." Although it is a pity and a legacy of the great cold war repression of communism in this country, that Vivian Gornick used pseudonyms for her interviewees whose oral histories form the basis of this book, still the value of this book is immeasurable. The communist party in this country was a remarkable phenomena and the people who were attracted to it, were in some ways, the best and brightest of their time. Being a communist meant hard work and lots of it, and the capacity to endure drudgery, sometimes obnoxious leadership, conflicting policies, cult-of-the-leader tendencies, a special cultic insider language, and a generally unsupporting society. But people in their tens of thousands put up with the downsides for the sake of the idealism that motivated them. Gornick interviews a cross-section of such idealists and the more one reads, the more one is impressed with the youthful idealism and bright hopes of the communists, the disappointments and disillusionments, and the coming to terms with the failure of the movement. The story has never been told fully, but through the stories Gornick collects, one sees a little of how the work of the communists in this society both in labor unions, farm workers, and in the deep South, was almost entirely to the benefit of the people, and how little harm was done by this savagely repressed band of people, who, in the final analysis, only wanted to leave the country better off than when they found it. It can be argued that if fools rushed in where angels feared to tread then the communists in America were fools, There were places like the Imperial Valley in California where people were beaten and jailed for merely asking for decent conditions, and their lawyers were beaten and jailed. There were places in the mills of the south and the ironworks of the north where to petitition peacefully for better conditions could mean a trip to the hospital or worse. These most dangerous spots were where the communists dared to go when all other reform organizations proved faint of heart. It cannot be argued that America isn't better off that it had a strong communist party at one time. This is the lesson between the pages of this book and now that the cold war is long over perhaps we Americans can recapture a part of our past that needs to be reexamined from a calmer, more humane perspective. This book is a good way to start that process.
Anyone who enjoyed this book, should also direct their attention to Kaplan and Shapiro's book: Red Diapers: Growing Up in the American Left, which uses the same oral history approach to bring forth the stories of the children of the generation that Gornick interviewed.

Titlesec Package Bibliography Meaning
Documents usually have some levels of chapters and/or sections to keep its contents organized. LaTeX supports this type of organization and also customization of the sectioning and numbering.
Commands to organize a document vary depending on the document type, the simplest form of organization is the sectioning, available in all formats.
The command marks the beginning of a new section, inside the braces is set the title. Section numbering is automatic and can be disabled.
Open an example in ShareLaTeX
[edit]Document Sectioning
LaTeX can organize, number, and index chapters and sections of document. There are up to 7 levels of depth for defining sections depending on the document class:
and are only available in report and book document classes.
Open an example in ShareLaTeX
[edit]Numbered and unnumbered sections
To get an unnumbered chapter, section, sub-section, etc. add an asterisk before the opening curly brace. These will not go into the table of contents.
To add an unnumbered section to the table of contents, use the command like this:
See the article Table of contents for an example and description of this command.
Open an example in ShareLaTeX
[edit]Document chapters and sections in a Book/Report
As mentioned before, can be used in documents and reports. Below you can see an example:
Books are the most complex type of documents when it comes to grouping the content in sections. Below a complete example with parts, chapters, sections and subsections

[edit]Customize chapters and sections
You can use the titlesec package to customize chapters, sections and subsections style in an easy way.
There are two general commands:
where and are optional parameters, and:
- is the sectioning command to be redefined: \part, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection, \paragraph or \subparagraph.
- is sectioning paragraph shape; possible values are: hang, block, display, runin, leftmargin, rightmargin, drop, wrap, frame.
- is the format to be applied to the title, label, and text; for example
- specify sectioning label.
- is the horizontal separation between label and title body and it must be a length and not be empty.
- is code preceding the title body.
- is code following the title body.
- increases the left margin.
- is the vertical space before the title.
- is the separation between title and non-sectioning text.
The starred version of this command () kills the indentation of the paragraph following the title.

For any academic/research writing, incorporating references into a document is an important task. Fortunately, LaTeX has a variety of features that make dealing with references much simpler, including built-in support for citing references. However, a much more powerful and flexible solution is achieved thanks to an auxiliary tool called BibTeX (which comes bundled as standard with LaTeX). Recently, BibTeX has been succeeded by BibLaTeX, a tool configurable within LaTeX syntax.
BibTeX provides for the storage of all references in an external, flat-file database. (BibLaTeX uses this same syntax.) This database can be referenced in any LaTeX document, and citations made to any record that is contained within the file. This is often more convenient than embedding them at the end of every document written; a centralized bibliography source can be linked to as many documents as desired (write once, read many!). Of course, bibliographies can be split over as many files as one wishes, so there can be a file containing sources concerning topic A () and another concerning topic B (). When writing about topic AB, both of these files can be linked into the document (perhaps in addition to sources specific to topic AB).
Embedded system[edit]
If you are writing only one or two documents and aren't planning on writing more on the same subject for a long time, you might not want to waste time creating a database of references you are never going to use. In this case you should consider using the basic and simple bibliography support that is embedded within LaTeX.
LaTeX provides an environment called that you have to use where you want the bibliography; that usually means at the very end of your document, just before the command. Here is a practical example:
OK, so what is going on here? The first thing to notice is the establishment of the environment. is a keyword that tells LaTeX to recognize everything between the begin and end tags as data for the bibliography. The mandatory argument, which I supplied after the begin statement, is telling LaTeX how wide the item label will be when printed. Note however, that the number itself is not the parameter, but the number of digits is. Therefore, I am effectively telling LaTeX that I will only need reference labels of one character in length, which ultimately means no more than nine references in total. If you want more than nine, then input any two-digit number, such as '56' which allows up to 99 references.
Next is the actual reference entry itself. This is prefixed with the command. The cite_key should be a unique identifier for that particular reference, and is often some sort of mnemonic consisting of any sequence of letters, numbers and punctuation symbols (although not a comma). I often use the surname of the first author, followed by the last two digits of the year (hence lamport94). If that author has produced more than one reference for a given year, then I add letters after, 'a', 'b', etc. But, you should do whatever works for you. Everything after the key is the reference itself. You need to type it as you want it to be presented. I have put the different parts of the reference, such as author, title, etc., on different lines for readability. These linebreaks are ignored by LaTeX. The command formats the title properly in italics.
To actually cite a given document is very easy. Go to the point where you want the citation to appear, and use the following: , where the cite_key is that of the bibitem you wish to cite. When LaTeX processes the document, the citation will be cross-referenced with the bibitems and replaced with the appropriate number citation. The advantage here, once again, is that LaTeX looks after the numbering for you. If it were totally manual, then adding or removing a reference would be a real chore, as you would have to re-number all the citations by hand.
Referring more specifically[edit]
If you want to refer to a certain page, figure or theorem in a text book, you can use the arguments to the command:
The argument, "p. 215", will show up inside the same brackets. Note the tilde in [p.~215], which replaces the end-of-sentence spacing with a non-breakable inter-word space. This non-breakable inter-word space is inserted because the end-of-sentence spacing would be too wide, and "p." should not be separated from the page number.
Multiple citations[edit]
When a sequence of multiple citations is needed, you should use a single command. The citations are then separated by commas. Here's an example:
The result will then be shown as citations inside the same brackets, depending on the citation style.
Bibliography styles[edit]
There are several different ways to format lists of bibliographic references and the citations to them in the text. These are called citation styles, and consist of two parts: the format of the abbreviated citation (i.e. the marker that is inserted into the text to identify the entry in the list of references) and the format of the corresponding entry in the list of references, which includes full bibliographic details.
Abbreviated citations can be of two main types: numbered or textual. Numbered citations (also known as the Vancouver referencing system) are numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text, and consist in Arabic numerals in parentheses (1), square brackets [1], superscript1, or a combination thereof[1]. Textual citations (also known as the Harvard referencing system) use the author surname and (usually) the year as the abbreviated form of the citation, which is normally fully (Smith 2008) or partially enclosed in parenthesis, as in Smith (2008). The latter form allows the citation to be integrated in the sentence it supports.
Below you can see three of the styles available with LaTeX:
Here are some more often used styles:
|Style Name
|Author Name Format
|Reference Format
|Homer Jay Simpson
|by author
|Homer Jay Simpson
|as referenced
|H. J. Simpson
|by author
|Homer Jay Simpson
|by author
|Homer Jay Simpson
|Simpson, H. J.
|Simpson, Homer Jay
|Simpson, 1995
|Simpson, H. J. (1995)
|Homer Jay Simpson
|Simpson 1995
However, keep in mind that you will need to use the natbib package to use most of these.
No cite[edit]
If you only want a reference to appear in the bibliography, but not where it is referenced in the main text, then the command can be used, for example:
A special version of the command, , includes all entries from the database, whether they are referenced in the document or not.
|Citation command
|Goossens et al. (1993)
(Goossens et al., 1993)
|Goossens, Mittlebach, and Samarin (1993)
(Goossens, Mittlebach, and Samarin, 1993)
|Goossens et al.
Goossens, Mittlebach, and Samarin
|Goossens et al. 1993
Goossens et al., 1993
|(priv. comm.)
Using the standard LaTeX bibliography support, you will see that each reference is numbered and each citation corresponds to the numbers. The numeric style of citation is quite common in scientific writing. In other disciplines, the author-year style, e.g., (Roberts, 2003), such as Harvard is preferred. A discussion about which is best will not occur here, but a possible way to get such an output is by the package. In fact, it can supersede LaTeX's own citation commands, as Natbib allows the user to easily switch between Harvard or numeric.
The first job is to add the following to your preamble in order to get LaTeX to use the Natbib package:
Also, you need to change the bibliography style file to be used, so edit the appropriate line at the bottom of the file so that it reads: . Once done, it is basically a matter of altering the existing commands to display the type of citation you want.

|for use with the chapterbib package. redefines \thebibliography to issue \section* instead of \chapter*
|keeps all the authors' names in a citation on one line to fix some hyperref problems - causes overfull hboxes
The main commands simply add a t for 'textual' or p for 'parenthesized', to the basic command. You will also notice how Natbib by default will compress references with three or more authors to the more concise 1st surname et al version. By adding an asterisk (*), you can override this default and list all authors associated with that citation. There are some other specialized commands that Natbib supports, listed in the table here. Keep in mind that for instance does not support and will automatically choose between all authors and et al..
The final area that I wish to cover about Natbib is customizing its citation style. There is a command called that can be used to override the defaults and change certain settings. For example, I have put the following in the preamble:
The command requires six mandatory parameters.
- The symbol for the opening bracket.
- The symbol for the closing bracket.
- The symbol that appears between multiple citations.
- This argument takes a letter:
- n - numerical style.
- s - numerical superscript style.
- any other letter - author-year style.
- The punctuation to appear between the author and the year (in parenthetical case only).
- The punctuation used between years, in multiple citations when there is a common author. e.g., (Chomsky 1956, 1957). If you want an extra space, then you need .
Some of the options controlled by are also accessible by passing options to the natbib package when it is loaded. These options also allow some other aspect of the bibliography to be controlled, and can be seen in the table (right).
So as you can see, this package is quite flexible, especially as you can easily switch between different citation styles by changing a single parameter. Do have a look at the Natbib manual, it's a short document and you can learn even more about how to use it.
I have previously introduced the idea of embedding references at the end of the document, and then using the command to cite them within the text. In this tutorial, I want to do a little better than this method, as it's not as flexible as it could be. I will concentrate on using BibTeX.
A BibTeX database is stored as a .bib file. It is a plain text file, and so can be viewed and edited easily. The structure of the file is also quite simple. An example of a BibTeX entry:
Each entry begins with the declaration of the reference type, in the form of . BibTeX knows of practically all types you can think of, common ones are: book, article, and for papers presented at conferences, there is inproceedings. In this example, I have referred to an article within a journal.
After the type, you must have a left curly brace '' to signify the beginning of the reference attributes. The first one follows immediately after the brace, which is the citation key, or the BibTeX key. This key must be unique for all entries in your bibliography. It is this identifier that you will use within your document to cross-reference it to this entry. It is up to you as to how you wish to label each reference, but there is a loose standard in which you use the author's surname, followed by the year of publication. This is the scheme that I use in this tutorial.
Next, it should be clear that what follows are the relevant fields and data for that particular reference. The field names on the left are BibTeX keywords. They are followed by an equals sign (=) where the value for that field is then placed. BibTeX expects you to explicitly label the beginning and end of each value. I personally use quotation marks ("), however, you also have the option of using curly braces ('{', '}'). But as you will soon see, curly braces have other roles, within attributes, so I prefer not to use them for this job as they can get more confusing. A notable exception is when you want to use characters with umlauts (ü, ö, etc), since their notation is in the format , and the quotation mark will close the one opening the field, causing an error in the parsing of the reference. Using in the preamble to the source file can get round this, as the accented characters can just be stored in the file without any need for special markup. This allows a consistent format to be kept throughout the file, avoiding the need to use braces when there are umlauts to consider.
Remember that each attribute must be followed by a comma to delimit one from another. You do not need to add a comma to the last attribute, since the closing brace will tell BibTeX that there are no more attributes for this entry, although you won't get an error if you do.
It can take a while to learn what the reference types are, and what fields each type has available (and which ones are required or optional, etc). So, look at this entry type reference and also this field reference for descriptions of all the fields. It may be worth bookmarking or printing these pages so that they are easily at hand when you need them. Much of the information contained therein is repeated in the following table for your convenience.
|inproceedings ≈ conference
|mastersthesis, phdthesis
|tech report
+ Required fields, o Optional fields
BibTeX can be quite clever with names of authors. It can accept names in forename surname or surname, forename. I personally use the former, but remember that the order you input them (or any data within an entry for that matter) is customizable and so you can get BibTeX to manipulate the input and then output it however you like. If you use the forename surname method, then you must be careful with a few special names, where there are compound surnames, for example "John von Neumann". In this form, BibTeX assumes that the last word is the surname, and everything before is the forename, plus any middle names. You must therefore manually tell BibTeX to keep the 'von' and 'Neumann' together. This is achieved easily using curly braces. So the final result would be "John {von Neumann}". This is easily avoided with the surname, forename, since you have a comma to separate the surname from the forename.
Secondly, there is the issue of how to tell BibTeX when a reference has more than one author. This is very simply done by putting the keyword and in between every author. As we can see from another example:
This book has three authors, and each is separated as described. Of course, when BibTeX processes and outputs this, there will only be an 'and' between the penultimate and last authors, but within the .bib file, it needs the ands so that it can keep track of the individual authors.

Preserving case of letters[edit]
In the event that BibTeX has been set by the chosen style not to preserve all capitalization within titles, problems can occur, especially if you are referring to proper nouns, or acronyms. To tell BibTeX to keep them, use the good old curly braces around the letter in question, (or letters, if it's an acronym) and all will be well! It is even possible that lower-case letters may need to be preserved - for example if a chemical formula is used in a style that sets a title in all caps or small caps, or if "pH" is to be used in a style that capitalises all first letters.
However, avoid putting the whole title in curly braces, as it will look odd if a different capitalization format is used:
For convenience though, many people simply put double curly braces, which may help when writing scientific articles for different magazines, conferences with different BibTex styles that do sometimes keep and sometimes not keep the capital letters:
As an alternative, try other BibTex styles or modify the existing. The approach of putting only relevant text in curly brackets is the most feasible if using a template under the control of a publisher, such as for journal submissions. Using curly braces around single letters is also to be avoided if possible, as it may mess up the kerning, especially with biblatex,[1] so the first step should generally be to enclose single words in braces.
A few additional examples[edit]
Below you will find a few additional examples of bibliography entries. The first one covers the case of multiple authors in the Surname, Firstname format, and the second one deals with the incollection case.
If you have to cite a website you can use @misc, for example:
The note field comes in handy if you need to add unstructured information, for example that the corresponding issue of the journal has yet to appear:
Getting current LaTeX document to use your .bib file[edit]
At the end of your LaTeX file (that is, after the content, but before ), you need to place the following commands:
Bibliography styles are files recognized by BibTeX that tell it how to format the information stored in the file when processed for output. And so the first command listed above is declaring which style file to use. The style file in this instance is (which comes as standard with BibTeX). You do not need to add the .bst extension when using this command, as it is assumed. Despite its name, the plain style does a pretty good job (look at the output of this tutorial to see what I mean).
The second command is the one that actually specifies the file you wish to use. The ones I created for this tutorial were called , , . . ., , but once again, you don't include the file extension. At the moment, the file is in the same directory as the LaTeX document too. However, if your .bib file was elsewhere (which makes sense if you intend to maintain a centralized database of references for all your research), you need to specify the path as well, e.g or (if the file is in the parent directory of the document that calls it).
Now that LaTeX and BibTeX know where to look for the appropriate files, actually citing the references is fairly trivial. The is the command you need, making sure that the ref_key corresponds exactly to one of the entries in the .bib file. If you wish to cite more than one reference at the same time, do the following: .
Why won't LaTeX generate any output?[edit]
The addition of BibTeX adds extra complexity for the processing of the source to the desired output. This is largely hidden from the user, but because of all the complexity of the referencing of citations from your source LaTeX file to the database entries in another file, you actually need multiple passes to accomplish the task. This means you have to run LaTeX a number of times. Each pass will perform a particular task until it has managed to resolve all the citation references. Here's what you need to type (into command line):
(Extensions are optional, if you put them note that the bibtex command takes the AUX file as input.)
After the first LaTeX run, you will see errors such as:LaTeX Warning: Citation `lamport94' on page 1 undefined on input line 21. ... LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.
The next step is to run bibtex on that same LaTeX source (or more precisely the corresponding AUX file, however not on the actual .bib file) to then define all the references within that document. You should see output like the following:This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.3.1) The top-level auxiliary file: latex_source_code.aux The style file: plain.bst Database file #1: sample.bib
The third step, which is invoking LaTeX for the second time will see more errors like "". Don't be alarmed, it's almost complete. As you can guess, all you have to do is follow its instructions, and run LaTeX for the third time, and the document will be output as expected, without further problems.
If you want a pdf output instead of a dvi output you can use instead of as follows:
(Extensions are optional, if you put them note that the bibtex command takes the AUX file as input.)
Note that if you are editing your source in vim and attempt to use command mode and the current file shortcut (%) to process the document like this:
You will get an error similar to this:
It appears that the file extension is included by default when the current file command (%) is executed. To process your document from within vim, you must explicitly name the file without the file extension for bibtex to work, as is shown below:
- (without file extension, it looks for the AUX file as mentioned above)
However, it is much easier to install the Vim-LaTeX plugin from here. This allows you to simply type \ll when not in insert mode, and all the appropriate commands are automatically executed to compile the document. Vim-LaTeX even detects how many times it has to run pdflatex, and whether or not it has to run bibtex. This is just one of the many nice features of Vim-LaTeX, you can read the excellent Beginner's Tutorial for more about the many clever shortcuts Vim-LaTeX provides.
Another option exists if you are running Unix/Linux or any other platform where you have make. Then you can simply create a Makefile and use vim's make command or use make in shell. The Makefile would then look like this:latex_source_code.pdf: latex_source_code.tex latex_source_code.bib pdflatex latex_source_code.tex bibtex latex_source_code.aux pdflatex latex_source_code.tex pdflatex latex_source_code.tex
Including URLs in bibliography[edit]
As you can see, there is no field for URLs. One possibility is to include Internet addresses in field of or field of , , :
Note the usage of command to ensure proper appearance of URLs.
Another way is to use special field and make bibliography style recognise it.
You need to use in the first case or in the second case.
Styles provided by Natbib (see below) handle this field, other styles can be modified using urlbst program. Modifications of three standard styles (plain, abbrv and alpha) are provided with urlbst.
If you need more help about URLs in bibliography, visit FAQ of UK List of TeX.
Customizing bibliography appearance[edit]
One of the main advantages of BibTeX, especially for people who write many research papers, is the ability to customize your bibliography to suit the requirements of a given publication. You will notice how different publications tend to have their own style of formatting references, to which authors must adhere if they want their manuscripts published. In fact, established journals and conference organizers often will have created their own bibliography style (.bst file) for those users of BibTeX, to do all the hard work for you.
It can achieve this because of the nature of the .bib database, where all the information about your references is stored in a structured format, but nothing about style. This is a common theme in LaTeX in general, where it tries as much as possible to keep content and presentation separate.
A bibliography style file () will tell LaTeX how to format each attribute, what order to put them in, what punctuation to use in between particular attributes etc. Unfortunately, creating such a style by hand is not a trivial task. Which is why (also known as custom-bib) is the tool we need.
can be used to automatically generate a .bst file based on your needs. It is very simple, and actually asks you a series of questions about your preferences. Once complete, it will then output the appropriate style file for you to use.
It should be installed with the LaTeX distribution (otherwise, you can download it) and it's very simple to initiate. At the command line, type:latex makebst
LaTeX will find the relevant file and the questioning process will begin. You will have to answer quite a few (although, note that the default answers are pretty sensible), which means it would be impractical to go through an example in this tutorial. However, it is fairly straight-forward. And if you require further guidance, then there is a comprehensive manual available. I'd recommend experimenting with it and seeing what the results are when applied to a LaTeX document.
If you are using a custom built .bst file, it is important that LaTeX can find it! So, make sure it's in the same directory as the LaTeX source file, unless you are using one of the standard style files (such as plain or plainnat, that come bundled with LaTeX - these will be automatically found in the directories that they are installed. Also, make sure the name of the file you want to use is reflected in the command (but don't include the extension!).
Localizing bibliography appearance[edit]
When writing documents in languages other than English, you may find it desirable to adapt the appearance of your bibliography to the document language. This concerns words such as editors, and, or in as well as a proper typographic layout. The package can be used here. For example, to layout the bibliography in German, add the following to the header:
Alternatively, you can layout each bibliography entry according to the language of the cited document:
The language of an entry is specified as an additional field in the BibTeX entry:
For to take effect, a bibliography style supported by it - one of , , , , , and - must be used:
Showing unused items[edit]
Usually LaTeX only displays the entries which are referred to with . It's possible to make uncited entries visible:
Getting bibliographic data[edit]
Many online databases provide bibliographic data in BibTeX-Format, making it easy to build your own database. For example, Google Scholar offers the option to return properly formatted output, which can also be turned on in the settings page.
One should be alert to the fact that bibliographic databases are frequently the product of several generations of automatic processing, and so the resulting BibTex code is prone to a variety of minor errors, especially in older entries.

Suns walk off with second straight title
Hatcher hits first pitch in ninth for championship-winning blast
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | September 18, 2010 9:08 PM
Hatcher hit the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning over the left-field wall to give the Jacksonville Suns a 1-0 win over the Tennessee Smokies and their second straight Southern League championship.
The Marlins' fifth-round pick in the 2006 Draft, Hatcher was 0-for-13 in the best-of-5 Finals when he came to bat against reliever Luke Sommer (0-1).
"You dream of hitting that ball and walking off," Hatcher said. "The guy threw me a fastball and I was going to hit it as hard as I could. And it just so happens I got it. If he threw me three changeups, though, I probably would have struck out."
The homer was Hatcher's second hit in 28 postseason at-bats.
"My timing has been screwed up, but I went up there in that last at-bat with a clear mindframe, 'Get your pitch and hit it,'" the 24-year-old catcher said. "I actually told Jason Delaney before the at-bat, 'I'm about to end this right here.'"
"It was just so fitting with Hatcher being the guy to do it. It was the perfect end to a perfect season," Suns manager Tim Leiper said. "He's been the backbone of our team. In the first half, he caught four out of every five games. He grinds it out. To grind it out like he did in this weather and take care of the pitching staff, it's fitting."
While the game was scoreless throughout, Leiper said there was never much doubt in the Jacksonville dugout.
"There was this thought that there was no way we were going to lose this game," he said. "Just knowing that if you get a run the game is yours, having homefield [advantage] really helped us, I thought. No matter how much we were down, the guys felt like they could win."
The Suns also defeated the Smokies in four games in last year's Championship Series and became the first Southern League team to win back-to-back titles since Montgomery in 2006-07.
"There are quite a bit of us that went through it last year," Hatcher said. "This series was going to come down to whoever made the first mistake. The two teams that deserved to be in it were in it. Give Tennessee credit."
Sandy Rosario (2-0) pitched the top of the ninth to get the win. He allowed a leadoff single to Brandon Guyer, then got Blake Lalli to hit into a double play and struck out Robinson Chirinos.
Jacksonville's Jose Rosario allowed three hits and fanned five over six innings after going 5-4 with a 3.24 ERA in 17 regular-season starts.
"He showed a lot," Leiper said. "He's got a lot of savvy. He's the kind of guy that got better and better, and it showed that he's a big-game pitcher. It says a lot about the guy's makeup when he goes out and pitches like he did."
Leiper wrapped up his first season as Suns manager after guiding Class A Advanced Jupiter to a 67-70 record in 2009.
"This was special. It's the first time as a manager I've won a league championship," he said. "I'm happy for the guys, the effort they put in, the way they are in the clubhouse. I couldn't be happier for them."
Smokies starter Craig Muschko was brilliant for seven innings. He allowed one baserunner -- Jeff Corsaletti singled in the third -- and struck out six.

Dreaming the End of War
Copper Canyon Press, Jan 1, 2006 - Poetry - 71 pages
This gripping suite of twelve dreams, infused with the conflict along the border of Mexico and the United States, traces humanity's addiction to violence and killing--from boys stepping on ants to men shooting animals, men shooting women, men shooting enemies. The Dreams begin in a desert landscape where poverty and wealth grate against each other, and the ever present war becomes "as invisible as the desert sands we trample on." The dreams, however, move toward a greater peace with Sįenz providing an unforgettable reading experience.
From "The Fourth Dream: Families and Flags and Revenge":
I don't believe a flag
Some men would hate me
"Rage," Sįenz said in an interview, "must be a component of any writer's life. But this rage must also be contained--otherwise our very bodies will become chaos--our minds will become chaos. We need order." Sįenz finds that order in poems, transforming his rage into something "more beautiful and gracious and forgiving."
Poet and novelistBenjamin Sįenz has written 10 books of poetry and prose, most recentlyIn Perfect Light (HarperCollins). He was a Catholic priest, doing missionary and charity work in London, Tanzania, and the barrio parishes of El Paso, Texas. Upon leaving the priesthood, he was awarded a Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University. He teaches in the MFA program at University of Texas, El Paso.

While in classical OLAP cubes the clear winner data modeling technique is dimensional modeling, it is interesting to understand what will happen with the new Vertipaq engine. In Vertipaq there is no real need to do dimensional modeling, because the engine is able to manage relational modeling too. In this session we will introduce the new modeling capabilities of Vertipaq, showing how the same scenarios can be modeled in both Multidimensional (MOLAP) and Tabular (Vertipaq). This will lead to an interesting discussion about how to develop your data warehouse in order to make it working with both UDM and Vertipaq.
