Which is insane, as the whole point of paying to have a house in TES was to get safe storage. Many roleplayers just have crazy ideas without thinking once if their idea would be FUN or not.
My own rebuttal is "why can't your character get randomly killed by a thief breaking into your room while you were sleeping? And would you actually want that?"
People who demand insane realism usually don't actually care about playing a game.
There was even some insane demand that they want enemies to randomly spawn behind you where you have already cleared the path, so they can backstab you. All to "increase difficulty".
That was proof that the posters were mad. I don't mind if enemies sneak behind me to backstab, but to actually spawn enemies where they shouldn't be is lunacy.
People like that are the reason I don't go to the Bethesda forum anymore.

I'm not complaining and its not a big deal, I was just surprised because in most RPGs, one's sleep gets cut short once in a while. Here, it was just the lone Astrid and her guessing game one time. So the code is obviously available to build possible encounters during sleep - it just wasn't used. So on rare occasion, it gets a little odd.

Those additions could be cool if implemented well. Make them so they aren't unfair to the player. For example, you are about to be attacked while asleep, but are awakened before they actually strike, so suddenly, you have to fight an opponent when you were just trying to sleep. Make it happen infrequently, but with higher chances in places like bandit camps and bandit infested caves and such, or in shacks in the wild.
Or people breaking into your house. Make it happen rarely, and if it happens, make it so you can track down the thief and get your possessions back. Make it so that, say, someone witnessed the break-in, and they give you a lead to find the thief at, say, an inn or a camp near your houses location. You can track down the thief and get your possessions back. In order to have a totally safe house, maybe the most expensive house in a safe city, or the top two best houses (so you don't have to necessarily buy a 25,000 gold coin house) have it so that the chance of someone breaking in is zero percent, so that gamers can indeed save up and buy a place for totally safe storage. But like I said, even if your house is broken into, the game alerts you when you enter the house after a break-in, and allows you to recover any stolen goods.

Why even pay a single gold coin for an unsafe house when you can save up that money to buy a safe home? And then you get to a situation where only one city is worth living in because it is the only safe storage in the game.
There are multiple homes in TES because it offers a CHOICE. There is zero advantage to have your items stolen, it is not fun, and it just boils down to in-game griefing.
And I certainly don't need Griefers in my single-player game. I play single-player for a reason.
You want to be backstabbed, robbed, lied to, and swindled out of everything you own? Play online where people can hack your account and take everything. People who think that is fun can do it there, against real thieves.

Maybe those implementations would be best for mods, where people can choose to put them into the game. For example, there is an Oblivion mod where you must sleep and eat or else you get fatigued. Seems like a neat idea, but I wouldn't want to have it forced into an Elder Scrolls game, but as a mod that people can choose to implement, it works.

I think someone here mentioned a mod that helps scale Destruction spells a bit? I couldn't find it anywhere on Skyrim Nexus earlier before I left for work, so anyone point me in the right direction. Since I'm playing a Destruction Mage on my second playthrough, I mean...

It just seems like every obstacle and interference in the game is "griefing" using that criteria O.o When the guard hassles you for cash, that's "griefing", when the merchant overcharges you, that's "griefing", when the dragon swoops in at random when you were trying to do something else... wolf packs attack... bandit ambushes... Astrid grabbing you in the night..
We just happen to be thinking of other ways to add interest and breadth to the game via mod or whatever.

Successful Zine Release Partyin'
Posted by Josh Jubinsky on October 9, 2010
Saturday's Zine Release party was great! Contributors to the zine got a personal copy, and other kids checked out copies of the new issue. Everyone did a short autobiographical comic, and got to help paint some more covers of last month's Zine Machine. We had some new faces at the program, and they were pretty excited to hear about their comics being part of the library zine.
A few of the new issues are still available for checkout! They are in the Main Library's Children's Department. In the graphic section, right by That's So Raven and Transformers.

Adachi Mitsuru's Q&A
Finally, with the release of the first issue of Monthly Shonen Sunday (or Gessan, for the more intimate), the first chapter of Mitsuru Adachi's new series, "Q & A" is out.
And the fine folks at MangaDownloads already scanlated that very chapter, as well. So, what's everyone's thoughts about this? Surely the supernatural twinge is something to take note, no?

Huh? What? Supernatural? Adachi's manga has unreal factor in it? I guess there's no sport then? No one can tell how it will turn out, but with this, it would at least worth a try.
And lol, I just knew about this new magazine from Cross Game chap 149.

Looks like the brother will be causing lots of trouble to Atsushi and might be the one who gets him together with Yuho by doing stuff to get her attention towards him like lifting her skirt in School when Atsushi is near her.
Atsushi seems to be not a memorable person and the brother again will be causing trouble that will get he's brother some attention that he's always been lacking. Looks like a lot of fun awaits this series.

The character seems interesting, as well. At least, he does not display any kind of immediate sports brilliance or something of the kind for us to expect such developments - other than having a knack to disappear from dangerous or unpleasant situations, from time to time.
And I haven't read Itsumo Misora. Guess I need to remedy that, now...

Oh shoot! Q&A ia already out and I totally forgot about it! Will read it fast I guess... That is after I finish something... *whistles*
Also, Beta (), I guess I have to warn you that Itsumo Misora is... A bit "LOL WTF" in the end. Don't be twitching when you reached the end volume

I took a quick glance at the manga section and this thread was brought to my attention by its title: Adachi Mitsuru's Q&A, is this a Question & Answer thread?
oh well, you know I have to ask this, does it involve baseball? :P
I don't think I'm going to follow this manga on chapter-by-chapter basis, since Mitsuru Adachi's works are best enjoyed in big volumes. :P posting more comments later...

Insofar as the first volume goes, no, it doesn't involve baseball. But there's no telling what the future may bring. And this being a monthly series, I feel confident that it will be enjoyable on a chapter by chapter basis... at least, for now.

I have come to the conclusion that Adachi is just physically incapable of diversifying his character designs. A lot of manga artists are bad at this, but he's the worst. I took one look at the pic and thought "Oh, Aoba grew out her hair" then I realized it's a new series. I'm still going to read it though. Eventually.

They even subverted it in some of the live action renditions of his works!
The same actress plays the female lead in the Touch (Minami) and Rough (Ami) movies.
Another one plays both Koyanagi in Rough and Hikari in the jdrama of H2.
It's not only in the mangas!!!

Hmm, it seems quite interesting, but since it appears in monthly magazine, I hope it won't be too long of a series (don't want to wait 10-15 years for the series to finish :P). It seems like a unique adachi's series like Itsumo Misora and it's always welcomed since it runs concurently with Cross Game ^^. Just hope Adachi wouldn't take too many hiatus on Cross Game to work on this one :P

I don't think it'll run all that long. Probably not much longer than 2-3 years. Itsumo Misora is a good comparison (mostly comedic, featuring some supernatural elements) and I don't think he tends to run too long with the more gimmicky stories.
Also, Cross Game is wrapping up pretty soon so I doubt he'll have enough time left to even take a hiatus if he wanted to.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Engineers won three individual events on Saturday afternoon at the home Coed Invitational. Senior Uzoma Orji picked up victories in the hammer throw and shot put, and sophomore Chris Bruce won the 3000 meter steeplechase.
Orji's mark of 189-04 in the hammer throw bested that of Rhode Island's Mike Bernardo (180-01). In the shot put, Orji's (53-10.50) closest competition came from teammate James Oleinik. Orji also took third in the discus.
Chris Bruce won convincingly in the 3000 meter steeplechase. He finished the event in 10:03.24, well ahead of Brian Ford of Bryant College (10:16.90).
The Engineers strung together several other notable performances. Freshman Jake Ruzevick ran to a second place finish in the 800 (1:58.04) and a third place finish in the 1500 (4:05.81). Sophomore Omari Stephens took second in the triple jump (41-05.75) and third in the pole vault (13-00.00). In the long jump, junior Chris Bateman placed second (21-08.25), and Kenny Rosche ran to third place in the 100 (10.80).
MIT is back in action on Saturday, April 29 when it hosts the NEWMAC championships. The meet is set to start at 10:00 a.m.

Looking at last season's rebounding numbers, it would be hard to tell Northern Illinois was typically out-sized every time out on the court.
Despite featuring only two 6-footers, the NIU women's basketball team out-rebounded opponents in 20 of 31 contests during the 2011-12 season. They did it on both ends of the floor, averaging more offensive and defensive rebounds than their opponents.
"We were good because we knew that was a weakness," NIU coach Kathi Bennett said. "[5-foot-10 forward Kim Davis] was a great rebounder, she led us in rebounding so we have to replace that."
Trying to fill the void will be an influx of newcomers who give NIU and Bennett something the team hasn't had a lot of during her first two years in DeKalb: height.
Jada Buggs, a sophomore transfer from Wisconsin, is eligible to play after sitting out last season, and freshmen McKenzie Hoelmenn and Nichole Wittman are part of the latest Bennett recruiting class. All three stand at least 6-0.
"We're playing bigger teams, teams that are in the Big Ten, bigger conferences and they are always going to be a lot bigger than us," senior forward Shaakira Haywood said. "But I think it helps us a lot because we have more depth along the line on the bench and on the court, we can hold our ground against them."
That first test will come today on the road against Iowa. But Bennett expects there to be some growing pains early on.
NIU's defensive schemes require its bigs to be active, something Bennett said Davis was great at.
"Everybody runs ball-screen action, and you've got to get your posts out there," Bennett said. "You can't lay back in zone or be even, you have to be sprinting out with them, and that's a hard adjustment from high school to college."
Offensively, NIU will have to replace Claire Jakubicek, who led the Huskies with 11 points a game, but transferred to Indiana in the spring.
Bennett raved about Hoelmenn's willingness to be physical inside and her feel for the game as a freshman and also noted many players who could step away from the basket and be a threat beyond the arc, something the Huskies have been lacking in the previous two seasons.
"[Buggs] can definitely step out and shoot the 3," Bennett said. "Jenna [Thorp] has worked hard on her shot. Nichole Wittman can step out and shoot the 3, and so can [Natecia Augusta], so that gives us where they have to guard us on the perimeter and that will be nice."
Bennett said she is trying to keep things simple, not wanting to overwhelm a younger team with too much too soon. But she expects the added depth and height to be an advantage later on.
"They're going to get better because they are always doing extra, very motivated," Bennett said. "They are really trying to get better, so I think over the long haul we will have that depth and strength inside."

Prep: Have a personal story prepared to tell the students about an experience, funny or otherwise, about estimation.
Personal Connection: Story Telling in Math
I opened this lesson with a model of using a personal story with why estimation saved me $65.00. I have learned over the years that if I can make some connection in my life, students love it. This supports MP 4 practice standard of modeling with mathematics.
The $65 Corned Beef Story
A few years ago, I went to the grocery store to do my weekly shopping. I always have a grocery budget and I know how much I should spend, so when I go, I round each grocery item and add it in my head as it goes in the basket. I had stopped at the deli and bought 1lb of corned beef for lunch meat @ $6.50 per lb. While the clerk scanned each item, I heard the beep of the register and added my estimated numbers in my head. My total came up and I paid her. I thought to myself " Gee, that's about $50.00 off. Hmm...I must have been wrong." So, I checked the cash register tape when I pulled my cart away from the counter. I had been charged $65.00 for the corned beef! Someone had programmed the scale incorrectly. I learned that technology is only as good as the person is running it and that my estimation skills were essential in catching that mistake. I wasn't wrong!
I used this story as a base to build number sense by asking a series of questions.
*I asked my students what $6.50 and $65.00 had in common? One student responded saying that $65 was a lot larger than $ 6.50. Another said that it was ten times as much. From their response about place value and value, I could tell that there was some number sense in my class about money.
*What did the person who programmed the scale do? A student said that she pushed the wrong buttons.
*How does that impact the math? ( How did it make my grocery bill go up?) Another student said that because she pushed the wrong buttons, I was the one who suffered from the mistake. My beef "costed" to much.
*How was it important to use estimation in my example to avoid paying too much for groceries when you only have so much money to spend? We discussed this together and talked about how their parents use estimation. They talked about getting roof estimates because their parents only had so much to spend. This indicates that some are paying attention to money, budgets and estimation in the real world I am hoping they connect it to their math today. I like to develop questioning that leads the student to realize that estimation has an impact on their lives helps them see that logic is part of the function of math in our lives.
*Why is technology sometimes not dependable? I told them that we have to be smarter than our technology! That we have to be more math savvy than the technology we use.
I could see they were ready to talk about more estimation and so we returned to our Wisconsin Rounding Smart Board lesson.
I closed this section of the lesson by asking: Do you think you are ready to learn this important life skill? You need to master estimation by using rounding skills you have already learned.
Prep: Prepare a Smart Board Notebook File Regarding Your State's Population prior to 2014, preferably from up to 10 years ago.
To help my students understand better how estimating sums and differences helps us understand data, I turned on my Back to Wisconsin & Learning to Estimate. This topic is overlapping with some map studies we are doing in social studies. I used their student Atlases to build this SB file.
Transferring the skill of rounding to actual real world application is the goal of this section of the lesson. It is an example of practicing MP2 as we make sense of quantities and use that to achieve a mathematical goal. We need to have mastered 4.NBT.A.3 fairly well first to understand this. I sent the above grade level achieving students off with atlases and an iPad and asked them to find the populations using the atlas and internet of 3 or more different states from 2003 and 2013 . I wanted them to tell me which state had grown the most in ten years. *These students showed me mastery on a pretest in rounding prior to this lesson and so it was important to get them busy applying their skills and knowledge right away, rather than making them sit through more of the lesson.
I worked with my at and below grade level students in front of the Smart Board. The next steps for these students involved teaching them to round to the highest place value or lead number. I began with the Rounding Smart Lesson in the Hundreds Place. We reviewed slide 3 of Rounding Review and reviewed the Rounding song together. I started with hundreds place to teach rounding the lead number because it is so easy to do with smaller numbers first. Rounding and Estimating shows how the circle reveals the correct answer.
After the 100's place exercise, I had them practice rounding 2 hundreds place numbers in a standard alogrithm in their notebooks (rounding to the lead number) and then add. I heard voices singing the rhyme. They under lined the lead number and rounded. I could see four of them struggling with rounding. One student rounded the answer. One student rounded the estimation! Next: We practiced rounding a thousands place algorithm together and then kept moving up through hundred thousands. This gradual practice seemed to get smoother with each step.
Leading them forward: To get them caught up with the other students, I suggested we look up another state and find its population both in the atlas and for 2013. We looked up California and estimated the difference (together) ten years had made on the population. They were amazed at the population differences between Wisconsin and California. I was glad to see they were thinking about the vast size difference on their own and making sense of numbers. I asked them to add the total estimated population of Wisconsin and California together using the lead number to round. I checked notebooks to evaluate. I had to still support them in their thinking and rounding process.
I checked on the above grade level achieving group who were working well independently in partners. Two students asked to look up more. They were engaged. (They can work on their own quite well. I attribute this independence to the community we have established through TRIBES. I think this independence is essential to effectively reach all levels and master standards)
*This research activity also practices the short research and informational text reading standards in LA. I like CCSS because it allows me to teach standards across the curriculum.
I predicted that many of my students after the lesson will revert to the common mistake of adding and rounding the sums. I referred back to the Smart Board Lesson to ward off the temptation. I took about 5 minutes to discuss and talk about good math sense and why we need to think about why we are rounding first and then adding or subtracting. I referred back "corned beef" story again.
I questioned: What did I do to quickly add up my grocery tape? How did I discover my mistake? Would it have made sense to add the tape up exactly and then round the answer? Why?
Two students took turns in a discussion of why I would not want to add up the exact amount. It would take me forever! And they pointed out that the idea was to make it easier. They concluded that estimation makes math easier!
I continued by asking: Can we think of other examples of real life situations where it doesn't make sense to add the numbers and round the answers? This supports MP1 by working to make sense of problems. One student shared about going to McDonald's and estimating the bill after his order, knowing he had $20.00 to spend.
I asked students to return to their desk to work independently in their notebook. I gave them each three dice with instructions that were differentiated according to my understanding of ability from their pretest and from my class observation during the lesson.
Below Grade Level Achieving Students: I gave the 1 cm. graph paper because some cannot keep numbers lined up. Instructions: *Roll three dice and create the largest number they can. Roll again and do it again. Create a standard algorithm. Round the three digit addends to estimate, rounding the lead number. Add. Write a sentence at the end of the exercise explaining why you round the addends first and not the answer. This helps them think about the common mistake.
At Grade Level Achieving Students: They got 5 dice. Instructions: Roll 5 dice and create the largest number. Roll again, and round the addends to add in a standard algorithm . Ask them to add the exact number to practice addition skills. I asked them to compare the two numbers. Did the estimate make sense? These students really honed their estimation skills and had to think about whether their answer made sense. I asked each of them if they could see how estimation can be used to see if their exact answer was correct. I think they will need more practice at understanding that.
Above Grade Level Achieving Students: I had them take the populations of the states they had been researching and round the total amount of people in those states using the lead number. They had to know then to subtract to find the total estimated growth. I like how this sets the up for thinking about multi step word problems later.
No iPad? I would suggest this to challenge them because it gives them a real life scenario: Give them a budget of a $300,000 and car ads from a newspaper and tell them they can buy as many cars as they can and not to exceed the amount given. Real Estate ads are great for this too but you will have to increase the budget! Grocery Store ads work well, but now you are working with decimals to round. If they are ready, this works well too! But, at first, I stick with the whole numbers. (I keep newspaper ads on hand for all kinds of math exercises.)
I assigned them to research University of Wisconsin Madison (43,275) and University of Wisconsin LaCrosse's ( 10,427) population of students for 2014. They were to estimate about how many students are in both universities. I assigned this to all levels of students to challenge the mid and lower groups. I am certain, after the high group worked with large numbers today, that this will be very easy for them.
The next part of the assignment was simply 5 problems in the addition section B.1 of 4th grade IXL.com with varying place values for them to find just the estimated amounts. They had to add the exact number to answer and then show me the work on their paper for estimation. I could have assigned a worksheet, but they like using IXL and they need to practice the exact answers too to be fluent. I felt that the skill practice was important. Students who have trouble lining problems up had graph paper.

While Rick Dutrow appeals to the Maryland Racing Commission on Tuesday to have his horse King and Crusader reinstated as the winner of the $75,000 Maryland Juvenile Championship at Laurel Park, his future continues to hang in the balance because of another case in New York.
Dutrow is facing what is considered to be the harshest penalty ever handed down in New York state horse racing. Barring a successful appeal of that case, Dutrow could lose his trainer's license for 10 years, a penalty that most states, including Maryland, would abide by, virtually costing him his livelihood.
Some in the industry sympathize with Dutrow, but most — including Dutrow's older brother Tony — feel serious punishment is needed for drug-related rule violators.
"Ricky's not innocent, but this is all he's done his whole life," Tony Dutrow said of his brother's situation. "It's sad to see him in this position.
"At the same time, all of us, including Ricky, want to see the best face racing can put on," added Tony Dutrow, who grew up training horses with his family in Maryland. "We need the very best face put on horse racing. And I absolutely believe almost everyone in the horse business is doing the right things. But it is so easy to give the sport a black eye. So we all have to be careful. And I don't believe these bodies are wrong for coming down on Ricky."
Along with the possibility of a 10-year ban, Dutrow could be fined $50,000. Both punishments are for being a chronic violator of the industry's rule book. He was granted a stay of the ban until his appeal is complete — a process that could take an additional six months.
Dutrow's attorney, Mike Koenig, filed an appeal with the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division in mid-March, arguing due process and rights violations because of an alleged conflict of interest on the part of New York Racing and Wagering Board chairman John Sabini, who is also secretary/president-elect of Racing Commissioners International. He also argues that Dutrow is being punished for appealing two suspensions that totaled 90 days.
"One of Mr. Sabini's boards wrote a letter urging and advocating what his other board controlled and decided," Koenig said. "We've filed our appeal, and sometime down the road, we will have a hearing."
At Laurel Park, Dutrow's trouble isn't nearly as dire. But it is rooted in the same issue — integrity in the sport. In January, stewards upheld a protest made by the connections of the second-, third- and fourth-place finishers in the Juvenile, who asked that King and Crusader be disqualified because he was treated within an hour before the Dec. 17 race.
The stewards found there was no argument about when the horse was treated and said that if they had known, he would have been disqualified before the race. But there was a breakdown in operating procedure and the stewards were not informed of the violation of the rule that prohibits a horse from being treated within two hours of a race. Dutrow, who was not at the track the day of the race, told the stewards by phone during a Jan. 13 hearing that he called officials the day of the race to say the horse would be late because of traffic and was told to continue to the track.
King and Crusader's owner, James Riccio, has appealed and filed a complaint because "the horse should have been scrutinized before the race. They didn't vet him."
The stewards are investigating the reason the breakdowns occurred.
In horse racing, where integrity is essential to the betting public, great concern about cheating has developed in recent years. Congress has held hearings on drug abuse in the sport, and the amount of money bet on racing was down 8.49 percent this time last year, though it is up 5.43 during the first three months of 2012, according to the Equibase Company.
The 52-year-old Dutrow, who now trains his horses in New York, has a history of success and a history of violations. During Dutrow's pursuit of the 2008 Triple Crown with Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown, he became the first big-name trainer to draw attention to the legal use of steroids in training.
But there is no getting around a long list of misdeeds — 85 at 15 tracks in nine states through Dec. 9, 2011, according to data on file with the Association of Racing Commissioners International. The violations are for a variety of offenses that range from hiding workouts to bringing a horse late to the paddock to drug issues. In the 1990s, he served a five-year suspension in New York because of his own issues with substance abuse.
When he came back to the horse racing in 1998, he began rebuilding his career and became one of the sport's most successful trainers — a performance that is continuing unabated. This year, Dutrow's horses are winning at a 33 percent rate. He has 40 wins in 120 starts and is ranked No. 7 nationally, according to Equibase. His horses finish in the top three 74 percent of the time, and as of Friday had won $1,768,583 this year.
Dutrow also trained the late Saint Liam, who was Horse of the Year in 2005 and is the sire of Havre de Grace, the filly who finished fourth in the Breeders' Cup Classic in November.
No one seems to be questioning the performances of Dutrow's great horses, primarily because of the extensive testing done after Triple Crown, Breeders' Cup and graded stakes races.
"It never entered my mind," Laurel Park trainer Tim Keefe said when asked whether he had doubts about the performances of Dutrow's winning horses. "The races they won, they came up clean. I don't think the shine goes off them. I think they're truly great horses.
"But I don't understand why owners with great horses continue to send their horses to people like that [with questionable reputations]. Why subject your horse to the possibility of that? If I'm an owner, my horse isn't going to a trainer with drug violations."
In February 2011, Dutrow was suspended for 60 days after one of his horses tested positive for a banned pain killer and an additional 30 days after hypodermic needles were found in a desk drawer in his barn. Dutrow testified that he knew nothing about the drugs or the needles, and he is appealing the suspensions.
He continues to train his horses while Koenig pursues his appeal in New York.
Dutrow said Koenig has advised him not to speak to anyone while he pursues the appeal.
"Rick has paid his price for past violations," Koenig said. "And I think the number of violations people are throwing around are gross misrepresentations of the situation. To say he's had 64 past equine drug violations is not true. Many of those violations were simply failures to file the proper paperwork.
"We feel one reason he's in this position is that he appealed the two most recent suspensions ... and they're just trying to punish him for appealing."
Tony Dutrow, who trained 2-year-old filly Grace Hall to a second place finish in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, is emotional about his brother's situation.
"Ricky is my brother, and I don't want to get him thrown off the racetrack," Tony Dutrow said. "But Ricky's not innocent. Ricky has had numerous violations and penalties. He has been counseled by many people. I've come down on him; so have a lot of others. He's had counseling. It's not the industry's fault. It's Ricky's fault.
"He's my brother. I love him and I respect him. But this is a nightmare, and it saddens me."

Sao Paulo, Feb 13: At least four people died and six were injured in the early hours Tuesday when a carnival float caught fire during a samba school parade in the Brazilian city of Santos, paramedics said.
The fire broke out shortly before 1.30 a.m. when one of the floats of the Sangue Jovem samba school brushed against a power line causing a short circuit. Flames quickly consumed the vehicle and the exhibit it was carrying.
Sangue Jovem is a school made up of fans of the Santos soccer club, and the float that went up in smoke was dedicated to Brazilian soccer legend Pele as part of a parade whose theme was the richness of the country's African heritage.
The six injured were taken to hospital in Santos, a seaside city in Sao Paulo state.
Because of the tragedy, Santos city hall called off the local carnival celebrations, which were meant to continue all day Tuesday.

Just saw a newsitem on Maddie McCann, who is missing now for nearly five years (7 May 2007). OK, she's not been found by the police, but in the absence of hard physical evidence, that is difficult, perhaps even impossible.
However, there is no single a priori reason I can think of why any psychic should not have been able to give some useful information on her whereabouts – or fate.
Has any? Asking the question is answering it. Of course they haven't. Given the high profile of the case, I guess there have been numerous attempts by psychics to guess at where she can be found. Even by sheer numbers and random chance, statistically something should have popped up.
It hasn't.
The reason is trivial: psychics have no psychic powers whatsoever. It's all bullcrap. I'd love to hear from the General Assembly of Psychics as to the reason for this colossal failure, but I don't assume much is forthcoming.
All the more surprising then, that so many people still believe in that shit. Wake up everyone, use your brain. Psychic powers are poor entertainment at best – and cynical fraud at worst.
Meanwhile, cases such as Maddie's will only be shoved through hard work, luck, and down-to-earth forensic science – all very much part of the real world.

X-Men Top Memorial Day Box Office
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" dominated the box office during the long holiday weekend, collecting $111 million over four days in the fifth-best Memorial Day showing of all time.
The superhero sequel received strong reviews from critics and audiences, who gave it an "A" grade, according to the CinemaScore market research firm.
"Days of Future Past" is already well on its way to outperforming "X-Men: First Class," which grossed a total of $146 million in 2011. The top performer in the series, "X-Men: The Last Stand," collected $234 million domestically in 2006. ("X-Men" is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox, whose parent company, 21st Century Fox Inc., was until last year part of the same company as The Wall Street Journal.)

Standout Bobby Allen (Cranston), who is hoping to dominate the junior college ranks for a second straight year, jumped up to compete against 123 NCAA Division I runners this past weekend at the Nassaney Men's College 8K race at Bryant University.
Allen beat them all.
The sophomore finished in a time of 25 minutes, 24.5 seconds. He led from wire to wire, out-running Boston University's Matt Paulson, who put on a late charge to finish just .6 seconds back. Allen held him off with a strong finishing kick over the final 100 meters.
"Bobby proved he is ready for the 2012 season with this effort," said CCRI head coach Gregg Cornell.
Freshman David Palkovic (Middletown) joined Allen in the big race and held his own with a solid time of 31:17.
"David has a great amount of natural ability and will improve on his time over the season," Cornell said. "We hope to have more Knights ready to race next week at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth Invitational."
Knights' men's soccer falls to ASA 2-0
The CCRI Knights men's soccer team welcomed the ASA Avengers, from Brooklyn, NY to the CCRI soccer complex in Lincoln Saturday afternoon. The Knights fell to the Avengers 2-0. With the loss, the Knights drop to 1-2 on the season.
After a 4-1 victory earlier in the week over Manchester Community College, the Knights wanted to come out strong to continue their winning streak, but were unable to find an offensive rhythm.
Defensively, the team did well but on two occasions the Knights were unable to clear the ball cleanly. This lack of execution resulted in chances for the Avengers, and they capitalized. ASA scored one goal at the 12:50 mark of the first half as Jose Herrera, with his back to the goal was able to curl a shot passed Knights' goalkeeper Rob Gallucci (Coventry). In the second half, ASA again capitalized on another scramble in front of the Knights' net as Kareem Kennedy scored on a deflection from Gallucci.
The next match-up for the Knights will be this Thursday, September 13 in Lincoln when they will host regional rival Massasoit Community College from Brockton, Mass.
Lady Knights squeak by Springfield College JV
CCRI women's soccer team traveled to Springfield, Mass., on Thursday to take on the Springfield College JV team. The Knights battled back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Pride 3-2. With the victory, the Lady Knights improved to 4-1 on the season.
In the first half of play Springfield took it to the Lady Knights and grabbed an early 1-0 lead. That advantage held into the second half, but CCRI came out and looked like a different team. In the 16th minute, freshman forward Kassandra Lussier (Warwick) tied the score at 1-1 as she semi-bicycle kicked a shot with her back to the Springfield goal on a scramble in front of the net.
Sparked by that play, the Lady Knights took the lead five minutes later. Freshman midfielder Betti Worth (Manchester, England), scored on another beautiful corner kick from Cait McGarry (Warwick). A double assist was awarded on the play as sophomore midfielder Jessica Sandin (Warwick) got the ball over to Worth to give the Lady Knights a 2-1 advantage.
With just eight minutes left in the game Springfield was awarded a free kick as one of their players was fouled right outside the 18 yard box. Springfield scored to tie the game at 2-2.
CCRI continued to put pressure on the Springfield defense as the game continued. The pressure paid off and with a little over five minutes remaining in the contest as Sandin dribbled her way through the Springfield defense and placed a nice shot low and into the corner past the Springfield goalkeeper to give the Lady Knights the hard-fought 3-2 victory.
Once again, freshman goalkeeper Alex Place (East Greenwich) came up with some timely saves for the Lady Knights. McGarry had two assists and Sandin added a goal and an assist to lead the offense.
"Springfield is a much improved team this year as we found out tonight," said head coach Dennis Grassini. "They gave us all we could handle. I always tell our team that there are two halves to a game and they have to play a full 90 minutes. We were lucky escaping with this victory as we only played one half."

Rejected Penthouse Letters
This is one of my favorites. All true, too.
My friend and I went to Chiefs training camp in River Falls as guests of the Chiefs like we always do. The Chiefs put us up in the college Dorms. We stayed in the same dorms the players and coaches did. The players are in one building, the coaches are in another and the guests, VIPs, NFL refs, etc. are in another building. We stayed in the VIP building with the NFL refs. That is actually a womens dorm building. In the summer, there are no women in the building except for female RA. Last year, we were told to use the womens restroom and shower room that was directly accross from our dorm room because there were no women in the building. This year, we got into town really late and checked in quickly. The RA gave us our keys and didn't go over any info or rules because we said we knew all of the rules because we've stayed there before. The next morning I got up to take a shower. I checked my buddy's dorm room and he was gone. He was already in the shower. I went into the shower room and stripped down. The shower room has 4 shower stalls (with curtains that are too short to close all of the way) and 2 bench stalls where you can stand or sit to dry off. I placed my clothes on the bench (neatly folded). I looked under the bench and there were some shower shoes. They were fuzzy wool. You know, the type of stuff you'd put on your Camaro seat. They looked kind of like bunny shower shoes, but they didn't have any ears. I thought, "that's wierd, my buddy doesn't wear bunny shower shoes, does he?". I bent over and looked under the stall walls. I could see 2 sets of legs in diffferent shower stalls. I assumed my buddy was in one and another dude was in another. There are other people in the dorms also, so it's not uncommon for other dudes to be there. I didn't think anything of it, passed the two occupied shower stalls and took my naked a$$ into the back shower stall. I was only in the shower for a couple of minutes. I heard my buddy get out and start drying off. I then heard someone else get out. I heard my buddy talking to the other person, but I couldn't hear what they were saying because the water was loud and the shower room echoed. I heard my friend leave quickly and then the other person left in a couple of minutes. My friend came back into the shower room and said " hey "Freakshow" (not my real name) get out of the shower RIGHT NOW!!" Obviously, something wasn't right. I said ok and I did. I went to his dorm room and he told me what had occured. He said that there was someone already in the shower when he went in and he assumed it was a guy. When he got out of the shower and was drying off, Danyelle opened the shower curtain and walked out, right in front of him. He had just wrapped a towel around himself. The dorm gives us these stupid little tiny shower towels. They are so small they don't wrap all of the way around. He was standing there with half of his a$$ hanging out. She came out wearting NOTHING but a T-shirt. It was one of those long T-shirts that go down to her a$$. We think that she realized that dudes were in the shower room and that is why she reached out of the shower stall to get her T-shirt that was hanging on a hook outside the shower stall and put it on while behind the curtain and in the stall. Otherwise, she would have come out, right in front of him, BUCK NAKED. She was very cool about it. She didn't scream or yell or get upset or anything. She simply said "this is a girls shower room". My buddy apologised a thousand times. She said "don't worry, no big deal". He then, took his nearly naked a$$ out. I was still in the shower at this time. I guess those were her fuzzy bunny shoes. My friend is a Youth Pastor and wouldn't tell me what he saw or didn't see. She had a T-shirt on but he said it didn't go all of the way down, especially when she turned around. He tried not to look. He wouldn't be any more specific then that. I do know that I walked right passed her shower stall when she was showering. She may have seen me buck naked. I don't really know. I don't really care. I didn't look into her stall (the shower curtains are only cover the shower stall opening by about 2/3. You can see right into any shower stall. I guess I could have looked but I assumed it was a dude and, of course, I don't look into a guy's shower stall. I don't know if I wish I'd looked or not. I would have seen all I wanted, but I'd probably have a law suit filed against me. She was really cool about the whole thing. Her dorm room was right next to ours. I talked to her out in the hallway right after the event and she said it was no big deal and she wasn't embarrased. We ran into her about a thousand times over the next 3 days. It was very awkward when we did. My friend and another dude that was still sleeping when all of this happened had gone to Bo's and Mine the night before and took note of a good looking black girl that was there. After this occured, they realized that she was the girl that they had seen the night before at Bos and Mine. We didn't know who she was until we got home and watched Metro Sports. We about had a heart attack when we saw her on TV. That's the story and it's all true. 100%.

"also in nude."
Ignorant little prick that I was, I didn't know nude was a color.
So my thought was, "well why don't they show THOSE pictures instead?

However, fate has other plans for Roy when his briefcase gets exchanged at a cyber cafe with a similar briefcase containing a large sum of money. Roy loses the only copy of his manuscript, while Mohan [Sachin Nayak], the cyber cafe manager, comes under pressure from his boss [Praddip Sagar] to recover the lost money. Director Pryas Gupta devotes the entire first hour in introducing the handful of characters in the film. Ideally, a thriller — this one had the potential to be a riveting fare — should unfold at a feverish pace, but the story unfolds at a lethargic pace and worse, there's not much movement in the story in the first hour. In fact, the first hour is too boring. But the plot does move post intermission, more so towards the pre-climax when everyone starts double crossing the other. Sadly, the end ruins just about everything. What was Pryas wanting to say, lacks clarity. There may've been a message, but it doesn't come across at all. Besides, the screenplay leaves a lot of questions unanswered. The film begins with Rajat being released from prison, but the reasons that resulted in this celebrated writer being put behind bars remains a mystery till the end. Ditto for the failed relationship that she shares with his wife. Half-baked tracks. Also, Rajat's about-turn in the penultimate moments looks weird. The direction is below the mark, while the writing is bad. Ditto for the editing. Rajat Kapoor doesn't get much lines to deliver. Nor is he given an opportunity to display histrionics. He's strictly okay. Sachin Nayak enacts his part convincingly. Praddip Sagar has his moments. Pradip Kabra is bland. On the whole, SIDDHARTH – THE PRISONER is too abstract for Indian moviegoers. A disastrous fate awaits this film at the box-office.
Siddharth – The Prisoner
There's a thin line that divides unconventional and experimental cinema. SIDDHARTH – THE PRISONER, directed by debutante Pryas Gupta, has an unconventional plotline, but what comes across is quite abstract. In fact, a film like SIDDHARTH – THE PRISONER is more suited for film festivals, not mainstream commercial platform. Also, Pryas's prayaas sounds interesting on paper, but is not even part interesting on celluloid. Write your own movie review of Siddharth – The Prisoner Just released from prison, Siddharth [Rajat Kapoor], a once-famous writer, completes a new manuscript. He re-engages with the outside world, hoping that the new book will restore his reputation and reconcile him with his estranged wife Maya.

Does it feel like spring to everyone? Not to me.
Yesterday made it official. It is spring!
Does it feel like spring to everyone? Not to me. I was told that the groundhog, who predicts the length of spring, didn't see his shadow and we were going to have a short and mild winter. We didn't, and now I am wondering why on earth we are listening to a groundhog who is buried most of the time in the ground. They have a big production number on Feb. 2, with dignitaries, photos and television. Then this.
They need to stick with the multi-million dollar of scientific weather equipment and get closer. Now people around here argue with all that expensive equipment and sometimes a fortune teller can't even get closer to the weather. It just amazes me how it is all done and the predictions are just so unpredictable. No sign of snow and what do we get — ankle deep snow all morning. It just amazes me, that is all.
When Easter is early like it is this year, we have to be careful and it will be cold outside hiding Easter eggs. Everyone will be bundling up in coats, hats and scarfs.
That did happen several years ago and it could very well happen this year. The Easter Bunny who visits us this year will be wearing long-johns under his bunny suit. He won't be hot this year, I have a feeling, like the past years, that is for sure.
When the weather does get better, there will be more exercising at the walking and running tracks around town. There will be more gardening and of course mowing of the neighborhood yards around town. That is still some very good exercise.
That is what we see when the weather gets better and winter is far behind us. We also see the temperatures rising to the 100s or even 100-plus degrees.
Spring is also a time to do the annual spring cleaning. This has been a tradition in some households for generations and is still done by many people around the Grand Prairie. That is also the reason we have a number of yard and garage sales in the spring. I love to get out in the early morning hours on a Saturday and see what they have in those yard sales. You can find a number of treasures that some other people have virtually given away.
In the month of March, there is another annual affair for you basketball fans. The event is call March Madness. It is tournament time and in early April the championship team is crowned. It is enjoyable to see all of those teams fight for the top spot and through the years a Cinderella team has won. There have been some legendary coaches who have won that national championship.
There are some people who don't care for basketball during the season but thoroughly enjoy the tournament action. I am one of those and believe you me, one of these years, and it won't be very more under the direction of Mike Anderson, the Arkansas Razorbacks will be making some noise in the NCAA tournament. Mark it down and say it loud because it is going to happen and everyone around the country is going to wonder where did those Hogs come from.
Also, don't forget the last Saturday in March this year is the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt, which has been an annual event over at J.B.Bryant Park since 2006. I have been on that committee since the beginning and those other volunteers who work with me do a wonderful job to make this a happy annual event for the children of Stuttgart.
Well, there you have it, some exciting things to do because spring is around the corner. Now, that doesn't mean that there are not other events, because there are.
The Garden Show down in DeWitt is April 6. There will also be plenty of time for everyone to work in your own vegetable garden or flower garden. The daylight savings time is with us and we have an extra hour to enjoy the outdoors and all of the outdoor activities. Keeping your lawn mowed and weed-eating is an excellent way to keep your neighborhood attractive.

ORLANDO, Fla. — A man being questioned by authorities in the Boston bombing probe was fatally shot this morning when he initiated a violent confrontation, FBI officials said.
The shooting took place in Orlando where an FBI agent along with other law enforcement personnel were interviewing the man, identified as 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev.
In a statement, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said the FBI agent acted on an imminent threat and shot Todashev.
The FBI agent was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
An FBI team was dispatched from Washington to review the shooting, a standard step that is taken in such incidents.
Even before his encounter with the FBI, Todashev, a mixed martial arts fighter, had a recent run-in with law enforcement.
He was arrested earlier this month on a charge of aggravated battery after getting into a fight over a parking spot with a 54-year-old man and his 35-year-old son over a parking spot at an Orlando shopping mall. The 35-year-old man was hospitalized with a split upper lip and several teeth knocked out, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
"Todashev was released on $3,500 bond after his May 4 arrest. His attorney, Alain Rivas, didn't immediately respond to a phone inquiry Wednesday.

- The two "L"s - light and location. The apartment is flooded with natural light, and steps from my door are some of the most scenic spots in D.C. I started decorating from scratch and kept things simple by choosing just two colors, green and white. I love Chinoiserie and Palm Beach style (can you tell?!) – not exactly D.C. chic, so furnishing the apartment turned into a treasure hunt through vintage and thrift stores, where I found almost all of my furnishings. For instance, the Chinese screen/headboard was scored in an antique store and the credenza was ordered on eBay (and refinished from a terrible cream and blue paint job). I also got creative with DIY, making curtains and painting the "artwork" that hangs over the credenza. The result is a bright, beachy space that feels like an oasis in the city.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- I'm a bookworm, so finding a place to store my books is a constant challenge. I turned my bookcases into walls; with a double-sided EXPEDIT shelving system from IKEA, books can be displayed spine-out on both sides of the shelves separating the living and sleeping spaces. The other challenge was fitting in normal furniture; it was important to me that my studio didn't feel like a doll house. I balanced larger pieces (the credenza) with smaller items (a dining table that will someday become a piece of accent furniture). Surprisingly, the layout feels spacious, with comfortable seating for eight (10, if guests are willing to perch on the Chinese garden stools that double as side tables!).

Prior to the 2012 planting season, peanut marketing experts warned growers against over-planting.
The message didn't take and now growers are facing the consequences of over-supply and subsequent low prices for their crop.
To emphasize the over-supply problem, peanut growers in Alabama, Florida and Georgia grew more than enough peanuts to meet the domestic demand for peanuts. In theory, all the peanuts grown in the Carolinas, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma and a few other states were excess.
In Georgia, it seems clear now that more than 50 percent of the peanut crop was planted without a contract. There is some hope these peanuts can be sold, but the only guarantee is they will go into the Federal loan program and the grower will receive $355 per ton.
The real problems for growers who put peanuts in the loan are the delay in getting additional money for their crop and the uncertainty of how much money that will be.
This year, there is real concern the market may not be there and these peanuts could sit in the loan program for a long, long time.
(See Flood of peanuts expected from 2012's bountiful U.S. crop).
Though some growers contend they are at the mercy of shellers, the sheller is really the middle man in the whole peanut buying process.
If the sheller buys and shells the peanuts, he pays back the $355 and gives the grower whatever additional price he chooses.
Buyers who did not book long would typically get 50-55 cents a pound, but the market is just not there. Manufacturers are buying a month at a time, because they are waiting for peanuts to get to the lowest price.
Shellers are using the peanuts they contracted for $600-700 a ton first. Then, when they fill the contracts, they will start offering some price for the peanuts in the loan — what that price is nobody knows.
Above average yield
Peanut acreage in the Upper Southeast increased substantially in 2012 and growers are likely to finish up with an above average yield. Some peanut experts are predicting this to be the highest yielding peanut crop per acre in history. Others contend that estimate is a little steep.
Long-time Virginia Crop Consultant Wendell Cooper says the crop in southeast Virginia may not be as high as expected. "It will be a good crop, but I expected to see several fields top 6,000 pounds per acre, and it just isn't happening.
"Harvested acres are looking good yield-wise, but not as good as some of us thought prior to digging," he explains.
In both the Carolinas, peanut acreage was up significantly, and it has become nip and tuck as to which of the Carolinas will produce more peanuts.
North Carolina has traditionally been the highest production state in the V-C belt, but that may not be the case much longer.
In South Carolina, Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers says, "This year South Carolina peanut farmers planted a record 105,000 acres of peanuts. Ten years ago that number was just 10,000 acres.
"The increase is keeping inspectors and crews busy at the nine drying and buying stations across the state. On average, this year's peanut crop is yielding nearly two tons to the acre."
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) hired 69 peanut inspectors to help with this season's grading process. Each part-time employee is trained to grade the peanuts for sale, according to the United States Department of Agriculture grade standards.
After visiting one peanut buying station in Cameron, S.C., Commissioner Weathers notes, "The work done at this buying station and others show the emergence of peanuts in South Carolina farming.
"The crop has real potential for further expansion of acres planted and that could lead to an even bigger economic contribution from the peanut industry."
News from other peanut producing countries seem to indicate a similar interest in increasing peanut production, despite a worldwide over-supply.
In a recent issue of Peanut Market News, long-time peanut marketing guru Tyron Spearman says, "The Cereals Board of Cordoba, Argentina has reported that peanut planting intensions across Cordoba, La Pampa and San Luis, the major peanut growing areas in Argentina, are expected to increase acreage about 7.6 percent, to 386,560 hectares.
"Officials report that European buyers were a bit surprised with the U.S. bumper crop that has pushed prices lower.
"Most of the peanut planted area in Argentina is managed by shellers under lease contracts from farmers and plantings could change. One explained that the land was leased from farmers when prices for peanuts were higher."
Spearman also notes that Argentina has invested in more warehouses, including cool storage, so peanuts will be available year-round instead of just in-season. Instead of a springtime supply of peanuts from the Southern Hemisphere, it appears peanut buyers will have access to the crop during peak production times in the U.S.
The over-supply problem with peanuts now and likely in the near future is clear. What to do with all these peanuts is not so clear.
Growers saw dollar signs
Spearman, who is about as involved in the peanut industry as it's possible to be, from reporting on production and marketing, to buying and selling peanuts, says in 2012 too many growers saw too many dollar signs, and they simply planted too many peanuts.
"The USDA says we have about 3 million tons, and it takes 300,000-450,000 tons to fill the pipeline.
"They think we will have a million ton surplus from the 2012 crop. If those numbers turn out to be accurate, we need to grow half the peanuts we grew two years ago," Spearman says.
In 2010, peanut acreage in the U.S. was down to 1.2 million acres and in 2011 acreage dipped again to less than 1.1 million acres.
The drop in acreage did not come in tandem with a drop in production in either year, which contributed to the false sense of a shortage of peanuts and perhaps to high peanut contracts and even higher prices for peanuts bought from the Federal loan program.
In 2012, growers planted about 1.5 million acres and appear headed toward one of the highest yield per acre totals on record.
If all these 'perfect storm' economic and production factors play out, U.S. peanut producers may need to plant the fewest acres of peanuts in the past 20 years to get supply and demand back in synch.
For 2013, Spearman says, "We're going to have enough peanuts to carry us 6-7 months into the growing season. So, we will need to grow a big enough crop to meet a 5-6 month demand. How much we will need to fill that 5-6 month supply, we don't know."
"We are going to need some peanuts next year and the high value of corn and soybeans is going to have an impact on the price of these peanuts.
"The big question is how many we are going to need. For growers who are dependent on peanuts for a rotation crop and/or are committed to growing peanuts for a co-op, they will have some hard decisions to make at planting time next year, Spearman says.
"On the positive side for peanuts, demand remains good. Traditionally, when peanut prices come down demand for peanuts goes up.
"The demand for peanut butter, in particular, remains very strong. And, the National Peanut Board and other peanut-based organizations do an outstanding job of promoting peanuts, so there is hope that we will deplete the current supply faster than we expect," he adds.
"Right now, I'm telling everybody I know — eat more peanuts, send peanuts for Christmas presents, send raw peanuts for cooking. We've got plenty of peanuts and the price is right," Spearman says.

Gone are the days when you could throw a sheet over your head and call it a Halloween costume. Halloween is serious business. Retailers expect Americans to spend about $8 billion on the day,according to a National Retail Federation survey conducted by BIGinsight.
Of course, part of the fun of the holiday is coming up with a creative Halloween costume. About $1.1 billion will be spent on children's costumes this year.
For kids, there will be plenty of the traditional costumes: princesses, super heroes, witches and pirates. But even these popular themes are subject to interpretation.
We've taken a look at what the trendiest costumes are for kids this year. Click ahead to find out what they are, some may surprise you.

Last week, we looked at the finite fields of prime order, Fp. A field, remember, is a set in which you can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. For a given prime p, the field Fp consists of the set {0, 1, ..., p-1}, with arithmetic operations done modulo p. Why does p have to be a prime? We can do addition, subtraction, and multiplication modulo n for any n, prime or not. However, for division, we require p to be prime. (Why?)
You might think, therefore, that the fields Fp of prime order are the only finite fields. However, you would be wrong. We shall see that there are in fact fields Fq of order q (ie, with q elements) for every prime power q = p^n. However, before we can do that we need to understand about algebraic extensions of a field.
It can happen that a field is contained within another field. For example, we have Q
- At step 0, start with Q
- At step 1, add a
- At step n, add all elements that can be obtained by combining two elements from step n-1 using one of the arithmetic operators.
The field Q(a), obtained by adjoining a single element, is called a simple extension of Q. (We could then go on to adjoin another element b, to get Q(a,b), and so on.) Among simple extensions, there are two ways it can go.
Suppose that a is a zero of some polynomial with coefficients in Q - for example x^2-2. In that case, we will construct the whole of Q(a) after only a finite number of steps. For example, in the case where a = sqrt 2, every element of Q(sqrt 2) can be expressed as c + d sqrt 2, for some c, d in Q. For example:
(sqrt 2)^2 = 2
1/(sqrt 2) = (sqrt 2) / 2
1/(1 + sqrt 2) = (1 - sqrt 2) / (1 - 2) = -1 + sqrt 2
This is called an algebraic extension.
Alternatively, if a is not the zero of a polynomial over Q (for example: e, pi), then the construction of Q(a) in steps will never finish. This is called a transcendental extension.
Algebraic extensions of Q are fascinating things. Initially, the main motivation for studying them came from number theory. Some other time, I'd like to take a closer look at them. However, for the moment, I just want to show how to construct them in Haskell, as what we're really aiming for is algebraic extensions of the finite fields Fp.
Let's suppose that we're trying to construct Q(sqrt2). The polynomial we're interested in is x^2-2. Then the basic idea is:
- Form the polynomial ring Q[x], consisting of polynomials in x with coefficients in Q
- Represent elements of Q(a) as polynomials in Q[x]
- Do addition, subtraction, multiplication in Q(a) using the underlying operations in Q[x]
- After any arithmetic operation, replace the result by its remainder on division by x^2-2.
To construct Q(sqrt3), Q(i), etc, just replace x^2-2 by the appropriate polynomial.
Okay, rather belatedly, time for some code. First, we need to define a type for (univariate) polynomials:
newtype UPoly a = UP [a] deriving (Eq,Ord)
UP [c0,c1,...cn] is to be interpreted as the polynomial c0 + c1 x + ... + cn x^n.
Exercise: Define a Num instance for UPoly a.
If we then define
x = UP [0,1] :: UPoly Integer
together with a suitable Show instance, then we can do things like the following:
> (1+x)^3
Exercise: Write quotRemUP, to perform division with remainder in UPoly k, on the assumption that k is a field (that is, a Fractional instance).
So we now have a type, UPoly Q, representing Q[x]. Next, we want to wrap this in another type to represent extension fields Q(a). Rather than have to do this over again each time for Q(sqrt2), Q(sqrt3), Q(i), and so on, we use a little bit of phantom type trickery again. Last time, we used phantom types to represent integers; this time, we're going to use phantom types to represent the polynomials that define the fields (x^2-2, x^2-3, x^2+1, etc).
class PolynomialAsType k poly where
pvalue :: (k,poly) -> UPoly k
data ExtensionField k poly = Ext (UPoly k) deriving (Eq,Ord)
Here, k represents the field we are extending - Q, to begin with - and if a is the element that we want to adjoin, then poly represents the polynomial over Q of which a is a zero.
From here, it's a short step to define some extension fields:
data Sqrt a = Sqrt a
-- n should be square-free
instance IntegerAsType n => PolynomialAsType Q (Sqrt n) where
pvalue _ = convert $ x^2 - fromInteger (value (undefined :: n))
type QSqrt2 = ExtensionField Q (Sqrt T2)
sqrt2 = embed x :: QSqrt2
type QSqrt3 = ExtensionField Q (Sqrt T3)
sqrt3 = embed x :: QSqrt3
And now we can do arithmetic in Q(sqrt2), Q(sqrt3), etc. For example:
> :set +t
> (1+sqrt2)^2
3+2a :: QSqrt2
> (1+sqrt3)^2
4+2a :: QSqrt3
As you see, the show function of ExtensionField k poly shows the adjoined element as "a", regardless of which field we're working in. With a little more type hackery, we could have made that a parameter to the type too, so that it would show "sqrt2", "sqrt3", "i", depending which field we were in. However, that would have obscured the code even more. In practice, when we use this code we're only going to be working over one field at a time, so it's fine as it is.
Another limitation of this code is that it's going to be a bit unwieldy to construct Q(a,b) as the type ExtensionField (ExtensionField k poly1) poly2. Luckily, this doesn't matter, as any algebraic extension Q(a,b) is equal to Q(c) for some c.
Exercise: Show that Q(sqrt2, sqrt3) = Q(sqrt2 + sqrt3), and find the polynomial of which sqrt2 + sqrt3 is a zero.
I apologise that I've only really explained the bare bones of how this works. Hopefully you can fill in the gaps. (They're all in the HaskellForMaths source - see link at top of page.) This post has already taken me far too long to write, but there is just one other thing I ought to mention.
Field extensions can have automorphisms (symmetries). Recall that a symmetry is a change that leaves something looking the same. In the case of Q(sqrt2), there is a non-trivial symmetry that sends c + d sqrt 2 to c - d sqrt2 (conjugation). Field automorphisms have a very important place in the history of mathematics: Galois invented group theory in order to study these symmetries, during his investigations into the unsolvability (in general) of the quintic.

Green Bay now winless in last 5 after dismal performance in 40-10 rout by Detroit
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DETROIT – Josh Sitton had to concede that this was a pretty one-sided loss.
Earlier this week, the Green Bay offensive lineman called Detroit's defensive players "dirtbags" — and the Lions responded with a 40-10 rout of the Packers on Thursday.
Green Bay was outgained 561-126, reaching triple digits only because of a long pass late in the fourth quarter, well after the outcome had been decided.
"No question that this is embarrassing," Sitton said. "I've been playing football for a long time, and I've never been part of a beatdown like this."
Green Bay (5-6-1) has a five-game winless streak, coinciding directly with the absence of Aaron Rodgers, who fractured his collarbone against Chicago on Nov. 4. The Lions (7-5) turned the ball over four times, but even that wasn't enough to prevent a blowout.
Matt Flynn, Green Bay's fourth starting quarterback this season, was sacked seven times, once by Ndamukong Suh for a safety.
"You don't want to say that we can't win without Aaron, but he's been out for five games and we haven't won any of them," Sitton said. "He's our best player, and this is tough."
Sitton didn't mince words in an interview Tuesday with Milwaukee radio station WSSP 1250.
"Their entire defense takes cheap shots all the time," he said. "That's what they do. That's who they are. ... They're a bunch of dirtbags ... that's how they play, and that's how they're coached."
After the Green Bay offensive line looked overmatched against the Lions, Sitton stood by his comments.
"I don't take back anything I said, but I don't want to stand here and discuss it again. They played great," he said. "No one ever said they weren't a great defensive front. They are probably the best inside combination in the league. It doesn't change the way I feel."
The Lions would have been motivated anyway — they had lost nine straight on Thanksgiving — but the win was especially satisfying after Sitton's comments.
"It's just adding fuel to the fire," Detroit cornerback Rashean Mathis said. "It's waking up sleeping dogs. That's how he felt, he expressed it and we responded."
Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns against Detroit in the final game of the 2011 regular season. This outing couldn't have been more different. He went 10 for 20 for 139 yards with an interception and two fumbles.
"They might have a lot of the same guys, but I can say they're a different defense. They're flying around, creating havoc," Flynn said. "As a quarterback, we've all kind of had those games offensively when you can't get into a rhythm and you're getting off the field too much. Makes for a tough day."
Detroit's Matthew Stafford was 22 of 35 for 330 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had a fumble, which was returned 1 yard by Morgan Burnett for Green Bay's only touchdown.
The Packers led 10-3 in the second quarter, but once the Lions stopped turning the ball over, this was a mismatch.
Reggie Bush ran for a 1-yard touchdown to give Detroit a 17-10 lead late in the first half. He finished with 117 yards rushing and 65 receiving.
Detroit's Joique Bell ran for 94 yards and a score. Calvin Johnson had six receptions for 101 yards, including a 20-yard TD that put the Lions up 24-10 early in the third quarter.
The Packers have been leaning on rookie running back Eddie Lacy lately, but he was limited to 16 yards on 10 carries against one of the NFL's best defenses against the run.
"We're a wounded team that got drilled today, by a good football team," Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. "That's the facts of the matter. We have a long weekend. Hopefully we'll get some more people back."
If Detroit hadn't started the game so poorly, the score could've been even more lopsided.
Bush ended what was a productive opening possession by fumbling inside the Green Bay 10 when former USC teammate Clay Matthews knocked the ball out of his hands. Detroit later had first-and-goal from the Green Bay 7 and had to settle for David Akers' field goal.
On Detroit's next snap, Nick Perry stripped the ball away from Stafford, and Burnett's short return gave Green Bay the lead. Stafford ended the next drive with an interception.
NOTES: Green Bay C Evan Dietrich-Smith, who was stomped on by Suh in a Thanksgiving game two years ago, left this one with a knee injury and didn't return. ... Packers TE Ryan Taylor was evaluated for a concussion after a crunching hit by Detroit's DeAndre Levy, but he was able to return. ... Lions CB Chris Houston was inactive with a foot injury.

Sleeping among sharks and other animals in a thrilling night out for the kids
Saragossa aquarium. Zaragoza Turismo
What is it that kids love doing most when they're on holiday? Laughing, having fun… and going on adventures! And what bigger adventure than sleeping among sharks or seeing how animals like pandas behave at night? This exciting experience can be enjoyed at many of the zoos, aquariums and nature parks here in Spain. Your children can spend a night surrounded by a series of fascinating animals (accompanied by other children or with their own family), while they learn and have fun at the same time.
If this sounds like a great idea, here are a few examples of the aquariums and zoos in Spain which offer this option, so you'll know exactly where to go: City of Arts and Sciences. Valencia The Oceanogràfic (the largest aquarium in Europe) in this great city of culture is a chance to spend a night with your family, including dinner (it has an underwater restaurant), and then sleep surrounded by a range of curious species such as bull sharks, grey sharks, sawfish and moon fish. All of them live in the enormous aquarium with completely glassed-in corridors known as the Torre Océanos. And the next morning you can have breakfast, visit the Science Museum and enjoy an IMAX film in the Hemisfèric cinema. Zoo Aquarium. Madrid When the sun goes down in summer, what could be more exciting than to visit the Madrid zoo (in the green area of the Casa de Campo park) and observe the behaviour of elephants, rhinoceroses and giant pandas? Faunia. Madrid Every summer this nature theme park arranges nocturnal shows so visitors can see –depending on the year– giant replicas of dinosaurs and surprising animals like Komodo dragons and marine mammals like seals and sea lions by moonlight. Saragossa aquarium In holiday periods the largest river aquarium in Europe arranges camps lasting a few days where children can watch Nile crocodiles feeding and see Koi carp from the Mekong river, alligators and squirrel monkeys from the Amazon. L'Aquarium. Barcelona Children aged between 8 and 12 can find out what sharks' senses are like at night, and how sharks wake up. They'll be accompanied by their explorer's logbook, hear stories about sharks… and have the time of their lives! Almuñécar aquarium Located on the coast of Granada, this aquarium offers children between 8 and 12 the chance to sleep surrounded by sharks and to take part in a workshop where they can handle the teeth and jaws of their favourite fish. Palma Aquarium The aquarium on this island of Majorca also organises an activity called 'Canguro Tiburón', in which children can spend the night overlooking the Big Blue, and be awarded a diploma to prove it. These are just a few of the examples of the nocturnal activities for families that you'll find in various centres all around Spain. We recommend that you check the official website for each venue in order to find out more about reservations, prices and opening times. Remember that most of these places require children to take their own sleeping bag, pyjamas, slippers, a torch and a toothbrush. You can rest assured that this is a totally original way of making your children's dreams come true, and guaranteeing that they'll remember these holidays forever.
