meaning of "using" software is running it and doing stuff with it, not taking its code and building something else from it. (The meaning of "ethical" is strongly dependent on what the speaker's actual system of ethics is, and so does not have a universally accepted meaning at that level that you can legitimately accuse someone of subverting) @Winter 'Arbitrage over internet domain names was done this way. Success depended on catering to the parties with most money. The "court" that let the richest party win got most popular' -- what's missing from this picture, for a free market based solution, is an alternative set of root servers, which will honor different decisions and therefore return different results for contested domains. Of course, a sane person considers this to be a natural monopoly. @Michael Deutschmann "A moral philosopher would find the limited net to be inconsistent, as it either punishes a child for the sins of its father, or punishes women for the sake of a moral non-entity." This is not _my_ position, and it's getting to be rather off-topic, but _as I understand_ the reasoning of people who have that position, they resolve this by saying the choice of having consensual sex (which is absent in those exception cases) creates an irrevocable commitment to the possibility of having a child. This is argued to be consistent with the mainstream view of the child support obligation on the father. People will pay for property laws because everybody wants property.

get raped or beaten up. Unfortunately we don't live in this perfect world and I doubt we ever will,so a bit of personal responsibility needs to happen if you want to stay safe and out of harms way. BM, you were asked Please produce some evidence that the high levels of rape we have now have always been. You responded with a Wiki article on rape during war . Either you're a disingenuous fuckhead with a vested interest in not confronting societal attitudes which allow rapists to go unpunished, or you're just a kindly-hearted confused little dweeb who doesn't understand the circumstances in which the majority of rapes occur. Oh, BM. So sad how you can't even back up your assertions. First you try re-defining things (rape vs. rape during war) and then you claim to be a realist when I'm the one arguing from actual statistics! It's fucking adorable, to be honest. what I often ponder, considering my experiential knowledge of the field, is the neurological damage that this culture of binge-drinking among young people will have, which takes time to heal, and the proportion of these young people who, statistically speaking, will develop "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" health histories; the DSM IV covers these matters at length, along with narcissism. People drink to fit in. People fear difference. Intelligent people are different, and can cause huge social angst when they put average citizens down (loss of status).

BIDEN: Well, our commanding general did say that. The fact of the matter is that again, I'll just put in perspective, while Barack and I and Chuck Hagel and Dick Lugar have been calling for more money to help in Afghanistan, more troops in Afghanistan, John McCain was saying two years ago quote, "The reason we don't read about Afghanistan anymore in the paper, it's succeeded. Barack Obama was saying we need more troops there. Again, we spend in three weeks on combat missions in Iraq, more than we spent in the entire time we have been in Afghanistan. That will change in a Barack Obama administration. IFILL : Senator, you have quite a record, this is the next question here, of being an interventionist. You argued for intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo, initially in Iraq and Pakistan and now in Darfur, putting U.S. troops on the ground. Boots on the ground. Is this something the American public has the stomach for? BIDEN : I think the American public has the stomach for success. My recommendations on Bosnia. I admit I was the first one to recommend it. They saved tens of thousands of lives. And initially John McCain opposed it along with a lot of other people. But the end result was it worked. Look what we did in Bosnia.

this, some historians reckon it was invented during the Ottoman Empire. I think that may have been a very long time ago, so I was pleased to keep the tradition going strong for those guys. I found a really good recipe on Smitten Kitchen , one of my favourite food blogs, and got to work. A few tweaks to the original concoction would hopefully take this breakfast to the next level. Here's what I did: I diced up a red onion, cut up two little chilli peppers (seeds and all) and fried on a medium heat in a large frying pan, in a healthy dose (1/4 cup) of olive oil, for five mins. You can add green peppers too if you fancy but I didn't have any. Then I added the garlic with a teaspoon of cumin, a tablespoon of paprika, and a shake of garlic pepper, and cooked for another minute or two before adding the tomatoes -- which I had poured into a bowl before hand and smushed with my (clean) hands to make smooth. I left it all to simmer on a low heat for 15 or so minutes. Then I cracked four eggs on to the surface of the tomatoes. Using a little spoon, I poured tomato mixture over the eggs white, but not the yolks, to help them cook and become all delicious. I then placed a plate over the mixture -- 'cos I didn't have a lid for the frying pan -- and left | HI | HI RE | 3,038,341 |

certain taboo word from a wall in his sister's school. As of 1951 this word had scarcely ever appeared in print in the United States, and never in a book of such popularity. Within a decade, the novel had been translated into at least seventeen languages (now it is up to thirty-five), of which only the following, in that early period, trans lated the taboo phrase, "Fuck you", into an equally force ful equivalent: Swedish, Danish, French, Spanish (Buenos Aires), Hebrew and Korean. The Czechs compromised with kurvo . The following translations used euphemisms, dashes or initial letters: Dutch, German, Norwegian, Finnish, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Polish, Russian, Estonian, Georgian and Japanese. I took the trouble to look up this in formation, because I, along with many other American high school teachers, got fired (in my case in 1960) for assigning Catcher to my English classes. It was precisely that one taboo phrase that made the novel unacceptable to school and city authorities. Kolia's sudden awareness of Alesha's discomfort is perhaps an example of Grushen'ka's "little onion", thus linking him to one of the most important motifs in the novel. There is the further echo, perhaps, of Father Zosima's brother who died young. It is of more than incidental interest that the anonymous nineteenth-century Way of a Pilgriim (in the translation of R. M. French) has been continuously in print ever since Salinger gave it a place in "Franny." The additional motif of the ducks in Central Park can be related to | IN | IN RA | 562,979 |
For the love of the game By Josh Callinan NEW COACH: David Richards is taking the helm at the Maitland Mustangs. BASKETBALL David Richards has quite the basketball resume. Born and bred in the Hunter the 37-year-old has played locally, nationally and overseas during the past two decades, which included a stint with the now defunct Newcastle Falcons. But it was his attitude towards the game, and more specifically player development, which impressed and earned Richards the job as Maitland Mustangs coach for 2013. "I just love the game," he said. "I have played all over the world and it was my desire to stay involved in the game that led me to coaching, it was a natural progression really. "It is something I really want to do." The official announcement was made by the Mustangs on Thursday, with Richards taking over the reins from Luke Boyle, who has stepped down from the position to concentrate on playing after four years at the helm. Richards, who played college ball in the US from 1992-1998 and NBL with the Falcons in 1998-1999, has made sacrifices to pursue his career court side. In recent years the father-of-four has been running on a seasonal contract with a travel group in Newcastle to focus on his coaching ambitions. "I've made a few sacrifices to get into coaching," Richards said. "Personally I would love to go overseas and coach or get into the NBL [National Basketball League] one day.

Change Location Startribune.com digital sports editor Howard Sinker used to cover the Twins and now shares season tickets with friends in Section 219 of Target Field. He blogs about baseball from the perspective of a long-time fan who loves the game, doesn't always believe the hype and likes hearing what others think. For $14 million and a two-year commitment, the Twins were right to let Joe Nathan take his recovering closer act to Texas, where the Rangers hope they can move Neftali Feliz into the starting rotation with as much success as they had when C.J. Wilson made that switch for them before the 2010 season. Nathan was part of the core that was consistently able to get the Twins into the postseason but not beyond. That was before the Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for 2010 and his inconsistent return in 2011. There was little to Nathan's 2011 performance that would lead the Twins to offer him significant money and the closer's role. I'd consider Glen Perkins the leading in-house option and I'd be looking at the Francisco 3 as potential game-finishers too. "Francisco 3?" That would be Frank Francisco, the Toronto reliever; Francisco Rodriguez (K-Rod to most of us), who split last season between the Mets and Brewers, and even Francisco Liriano, whom I'd ponder as a throw-the-snot-out-of-it bullpen option as much as I'd consider letting him flail away again as a starter.

Public speaking is something that most of us have to do at some time in our lives, but most of us would rather not do. This experience starts in school. Giving a speech can be rather unpleasant, but with the proper preparation and enough confidence, it can be easy or even enjoyable. Here is a guide on how to give an oral presentation in front of your class. Decide on a topic . Make sure it's something you are interested in. If you already have some knowledge on the subject, that's a plus, but for most presentations you will be expected to do some amount of research. 2 Research your topic thoroughly . Take detailed notes. 3 Sort your notes . Decide which information is necessary, and what can be cut. (a hi-lighter pen can be very useful here) 4 Make an outline . Start rough and general, then get specific. 5 Familiarize yourself with your topic and write your speech as if it were an essay . Learn the content of the essay well. 6 Write or print notes on index cards . These should be key points in your outline (to keep you on topic) and details and statistics (that would be too difficult to remember). 7 Practice your speech out loud until you are confident with it . It doesn't have to be identical to your essay in wording, but try to keep the content the same. 8 Try giving the speech to things around your room | HI | HI HT | 105,258 |

Bibliographies Resources FAQ about the Maori Language Q1. Where is Maori spoken? A1. Mainly in the North Island of New Zealand, in particular in the far North, Central & Eastern areas of the North Island where sizable populations of Maori are found. There are a number of speakers of Maori in all the main urban centres of New Zealand. All (adult) Maori speakers can also speak English. Q2. Were other languages spoken in New Zealand prior to European colonization? A2. Before the 1800s Maori was the only language spoken throughout the North Island and South Island of New Zealand. However, another separate, yet closely related language, Moriori , was spoken in the Chatham Islands to the east of New Zealand [though the Chatham Islands are now politically part of New Zealand]. Moriori is now extinct and has not had any native speakers since the 1930s (though the language has been recorded reasonably extensively in written form). Q3. How many people speak Maori? A3. There are varying estimates. A national census undertaken in 2006 suggests there were approximately 157,000 speakers of Maori (around 4 % of all those living in NZ). However, the Survey on the Health of the Maori Language 2001 suggests there were approximately 29,000 (9 %) Maori adults who were very fluent speakers of Maori. Many of the very fluent speakers of Maori were likely to be over 50 years old. Q4. Is Maori related to any other languages? A4. Yes. Maori is closely related to the language | IN | IN FI | 1,763,663 |
coordinates of their radius vectors? The cusps are due to the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic field imbedded in the solar wind. They move around as the Earth moves around the Sun and as the tilt of the Earth's axis moves. They also move in position, as well as distance from the Earth, as the magnetic field of the Sun changes. So they don't point at any fixed direction. I am working on a paper on the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere. Do you know of a source giving the magnitude of the magnetic field of the magnetosphere? Your question has a tremendous amount of latitude in it, both literally and figuratively. The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field within the magnetosphere varies greatly with location within the magnetosphere. It is not a simple question to answer. The magnetosphere is formed when the flow of the solar wind impacts the Earth's magnetic field (a dipole field), compressing it, causing magnetic reconnection, causing complex currents to flow, etc. The dipole field changes greatly under the influence of the solar wind. Try to get a copy of "Physics of the Magnetopause" published by the AGU. That will help. The magnetic field in the solar wind near Earth is about 5 nT, or 5 x 10(-5) Gauss. The magnetic field on the surface of the Earth is about 0.5 Gauss - big difference. If you were to imagine a spacecraft passing from the solar wind | IN | IN FI | 23,116 |
improve upon better acquaintance... Eventually I'll have to do something about that! I meant to say also that I very much emphathise with what Florence says about blogging slowing her down a little. Since I started, I feel I can't move on to a new book till I've got the most recent one out of my system by writing about it - so I'm tending to have a lot of draft posts sitting about! I'm so relieved to find someone experiencing the same thing as me, Karen!

Florence's list is much more to my taste. What a great idea this is!

Verguenza was at 6:1. Dwayne Cardinal Kanu they had at 112:1. There being 112 cardinals, this was not what you would call encouraging. Time to go negative. Let me state for the record: I don't like to go negative, but as my mentor, Nick, used to say, "At least you can say you considered not going negative." I laid another brick of Franklins in front of Angelo. The next day my favorite Vatican rag ran a page-one story on animism, from which the Irish missionaries in Africa had converted Cardinal Arooba, along with a killer quote -- from someone identified as one of the world's "ultimate authorities" on animism -- about how animists believe that the spirits of dead animals live on and can even be dangerous.

The failures were due partly to the efforts of the Polish aristocracy to undermine the position of Sobieski, in their eyes he had gained too much prestige at Vienna. Leopold entered history as the King of Hungary who regained most of the territory lost in the previous century to the Ottoman Empire. The man who in the beginning did not want anything but peace was the only one to gain. Walter Leitsch is Professor of East European History and Director of the Institute of East and Southeast European Research at the University of Vienna.

many bodega tours in Jerez de la Frontera. If going riding then you should be sober. Although parking up at a bar or two is considered a traditional way of taking a break from riding. I have seen many a horse parked outside a bar, tied up just like in the western films. Of course for those who would rather be the passenger than the jockey, numerous Spanish cities offer you the chance to jump in the back of a horse and carriage and be driven sedately around the streets of wonderful locations such as Crdoba , or to see the sights in picture perfect places such as the aforementioned Jerez de la Frontera. This way you get close to the horse, but you don't have the responsibility of making sure it goes in the intended direction. How often have you driven around your holiday home destination in Spain and had only a fleeting look at some memorable sight out of car the window? Or got frustrated at trying to find somewhere to park in a busy town or city? I heartily recommend you see the best points of a Spanish destination not from the top of a bus, but from a horse drawn carriage. And for those of you who are willing to go that extra mile, so to speak, then there are several horse riding schools and tour companies offering you the chance to ride around and across this vast, varied and magnificent country.

Otherwise, once we manage to get into those spaces for dialogue and they start talking to us about things like municipal budgets, it's like jumping out of a plane with no parachute.

When I was 15, I told a friend that one day I wanted to know how to use a computer. He looked at me and laughed "You think you can learn that? It's impossible! You're a woman, and you're indigenous."

Is there a high chance I'll pass with no schooling or hands on training? ssgt in Clovis, New Mexico said: Both of my daughters have worked as Pharm Techs. Neither went to school. As far as state certification goes their are study guides you can buy, which my daughters did, and both got certified first try. The oldest doaughter is due to graduate Pharm. D. school in May. I think the point is as to whether or not getting state certified on top of having a BS or BA in Biology or any of the biological sciences is any kind of groundbreaker in terms of getting the JOB over people with only a high school diploma who passed the certification test and got the same license. And being New Mexico, I think the answer seems to be that New Mexico employers ALWAYS prefer the work experience over the Bachelor's or higher degree. And these days there's NOTHING anywhere where there would be no competition from people with less education but more work experience or who "knew the Pharmacist" sort of thing.

His " Back of the House " photography project narrates the lives of chefs in their restaurant worlds. His radio show, Food Seen (which, weather allowing, The New Potato will be appearing on tomorrow, October 30th) hosts guests that work at the intersection of food and art -- a marriage we love here at The New Potato.

for the two timeslots from Setanta and sub-licensing them to ESPN, this gives Setanta Sports more financial stability. Setanta US will continue to stay in business this season and, in addition to the Premier League, will be showing Champions League football ( via broadband and on TV ), Carling Cup, Championship games, World Cup qualifiers, FA Cup and more. The US video rights for the 2010-2013 Premier League seasons have still not been finalized. With ESPN picking up two of the Premier League slots for the 2009-2010 season, the move definitely increases the likelihood that ESPN will mount a serious bid for the 2010-2013 rights when available later this year. No news yet from ESPN regarding which broadcasters will be presenting the Premier League games and whether they'll be using in-house commentators calling the games off the screen or if they'll be using the international commentators feed.

tutorials at U of T are too big! Undergraduates should simply, in their words, "adjust their expectations." Thinking of going to graduate school? The U of T used to guarantee graduate students a minimum funding package composed partially of a fellowship for our research and partially of wages for our work as TAs. Now, the U of T is moving toward eliminating research fellowships entirely. Our fellowships ensure that we have enough time to do the research that brought us to graduate school in the first place. Unfortunately, fellowships don't satisfy the Administration's desire for measurable (i.e. profitable) "outputs." Although our funding packages are currently structured so that the total amount remains unchanged, a greater percentage of the total amount comes from wages and a smaller percentage comes from fellowships each year. At this rate, we'll eventually be teaching for 100% of our funding and have no fellowship -- no compensation for our research -- at all. We are increasingly required to work more hours, often for as little as $12 an hour -- on research tasks unrelated to our dissertations. The wages for this new kind of work are often calculated against our guaranteed funding, which means we do the work but never take home a dollar for it. Meanwhile, the funding we were promised for carrying out our research continues to disappear. This would be bad enough for any employee; however, it's particularly bad for us because we're trying to complete degrees while the funding clock is ticking. | IP | IP PA | 3,342,380 |

Whatever you do, make sure an app allows users to interact with each other. Be this via Game Centre, Twitter or Facebook. Friends need to be able to compete or share. "There is also a real premium on social. The phone is by nature a social device, sometimes you make phone calls and send text messages to friends," says Decrem. "People enjoy using these devices to communicate with friends." Consumability An app is a disposable thing. Very few last beyond a day or two's play on your smartphone. Cheap and easily ignored, for an app to do well it needs to grab the attention of a phone-user for just long enough to justify its cost. We aren't saying cut corners with your application, more to understand that its vitality and sales won't necessarily come from its length or complexity. "Apps are consumable. They are more like YouTube videos than a console game. Ninety-nine per cent of apps, you use them once or a day or two and then you get rid of them," says Decrem. This relates directly to how an application will spread through the App Store. Unlike most technology, which is promoted via advertising, the app gains sales traction from word of mouth.

civil rights law most responsible for African-American enfranchisement." At The Nation , Brentin Mock also weighs in on the grant, arguing that "[a]ll that matters is that [the case] is being made before Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court, which has shown no sympathy, if not shown flat-out resentment, for laws they believe support racial preference." And in an op-ed for the Washington Examiner , Scott Douglas Gerber suggests that with the grant in Shelby County , "the current term also became [Justice] Thomas's best chance for leaving a lasting legacy on American law." Continue reading In May 2009, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal , which explicitly extended the "plausibility standard," first articulated in Bell Atlantic v. Twombly two years earlier, to all civil pleadings. That standard requires that pleadings, to satisfy Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), must state a plausible claim for relief. For many, these rulings represented a sea change in civil pleading standards. Where prior Supreme Court precedent had provided that a pleading should not be dismissed "unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim," the new standard requires that judges utilize their own "judicial experience and common sense" to determine whether claimants have set forth facts sufficient to "nudge[] their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible." | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 51,209 |
Wigan may have lost yesterday at Anfield but Latics fan Jimmy Shine was top dog last weekend in our Predict the Premier League competition . Mr Shine was the only pundit to hit double points. His haul came courtesy of two correct scores - Everton 2 Sunderland 1 and Man City 2 Spurs 1 - and four correct results at Reading, Southampton, Aston Villa and Chelsea. In a week when Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle cost pundits crucial points, seven points proved to be the average score. Tottenham's Adam Crawford, who only got his scores in for the Sunday games, propped up the table with one point and was joined in the bottom three by Newcastle's Greg Hall and Reading's Jon Keen, both on four points. Arsenal v Fulham Five pundits predicted a draw here and they would have been hailing Mark Schwarzer for his late penalty save. Fulham's Neil Springate, Newcastle's Greg Hall, Norwich City's Sue Read, Southampton's Nigel Adkins and Stoke's Jack Heaney all picked up a point for their bravery.

Opening Day costs from Cot's. If you give a miniscule $5MM leeway on that amount, you can add another two teams and bring it up to 76.7% of baseball that the Yankees leftovers outspend. Woe is the Yankees! They'd better raise payroll! I suppose outspending the world by leaps and bounds is the "Yankees way" but suggestions that they need to raise payroll to sign Lee and fill in the rest of the gaps makes me facepalm. If they do, it only speaks to the idiocy of the contracts they're doling out to begin with. If the Yankees can't compete with a payroll "just" twice as high as 76% of the rest of the teams in baseball, then perhaps the solution isn't raising the payroll; perhaps -- just perhaps -- the problem is they do a really poor job constructing their team and that's what needs to change.

Fisher Library routinely operates over extended hours and NFAOs will usually be available during normal opening hours. Local procedures should be followed at all times in Fisher Library. Hazardous activities should not be conducted outside normal working hours unless risks have been assessed and arrangements made to cover possible first aid emergencies. 4.2 ROLE OF SECURITY OFFICERS All Security Officers are trained in first aid and can be called upon to assist in a medical emergency. This is particularly important for first aid emergencies outside normal working hours. If the situation is life threatening or it is likely an ambulance will be needed, call the ambulance first on 0-000 and then contact Security on 13333.

one basic thing, Madam Speaker, the opportunity to have their say and, at a bare minimum, to appear before a public committee of the Manitoba Legislature. Let there be no doubt why the government voted down the motion yesterday. When the Union of Manitoba Municipalities, representing 166 municipalities across Manitoba, puts in a brief that states very clearly they are opposed to the privatization of MTS, we know this is a major issue in rural and northern Manitoba, and if we do not deal with this matter now, I believe we will not have the opportunity in any way, shape or form to be able to do it. This is our last chance to have a clear statement from the Legislature and try and persuade the government to have those rural and northern hearings. They voted it down yesterday, but that was before they received the brief from the Union of Manitoba Municipalities, from the Manitoba Society of Seniors, from many people from their own communities, people from Steinbach, people from the Springfield constituency, people from Erickson, people from Brandon--yes, the few that could make it in. And every rural presenter we spoke to said that people would attend hearings if there were hearings held in their own community. We had one individual present 43 names from Lundar, in the constituency of Lakeside, represented by the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Enns), saying that they wish to have public hearings.

growing old seems an impossibility. When the smell of barbeques float through the evening air. When there is a baseball game every Saturday night at the park, and lots of weekend excursions to the beach. When the trees are full of fruit and the farmer's fields are waiting for harvest. When time is lost in a whirl of activity and excitement. When the trampoline, the pool, and the sprinkler become daily pastimes. When the temperature climbs above thirty, and the tops come down on convertibles. When you wake to the birds singing, and the sound of the neighbor mowing his lawn. Summer. My favourite time of the year. Wonderland for the snow Fan By Alex Harte There's nothing better than the feeling of waking up under your giant blanket to the radio singing out, "Schools and roads are closed today." With a sudden rush of excitement you spring out from under your blankets, rip open your blinds and stare in awe as everything before you is covered in its own blanket, a blanket of snow. This is the perfect start to the perfect day of the perfect season. This is what winter's all about. Snow is one of the few things that will instantly make you warm and fuzzy on the inside, despite its freezing temperature. It also has the power to literally change the landscape.

produces nearly 800 megawatts, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for a quarter of the cost. Solar power has shown that it can play a valuable role in specific locations where the sun is plentiful, especially in the developing world, in areas remote from the electrical grid. The issue is whether renewables can be scaled up to generate the massive amounts of energy that coal and nuclear do, whether they can one day produce the trillions of watts the world's cities need, whether they can ever replace fossil fuels. MARTY HOFFERT, New York University: Most people want to turn on the lights at night, and the sun isn't shining at night. Renewables tend to be very episodic. That is, they're not always there. And the power density is low. That is, the number of watts per square meter is pretty low. NARRATOR: And this may be a crucial weakness. Because the energy density of solar, wind and biomass is low, very large areas of land will be needed to produce significant amounts of power. MARTY HOFFERT: There's going to be a certain inevitable amount of land use issues associated with renewable energy, in that you're going to need a lot of area. If you wanted to supply 10 terrawatts of power and you wanted to do it with biomass energy, you would need an area of the Earth equal approximately 10 percent of the Earth's surface, land surface area.

All I'm saying is that it should be in the front end and visible to the user without the need to point and click lots of screens. Great article! One question -- some government sites have the restore setting turned off in group policy, the reasoning is that a virus or trojan may be placed in the restore area or a virus or trojan embeded into a user file will be saved to the restore area and be deployed with the file or system is restored to a previous version. We have Endpoint running and I would expect that to pick up virus'sand trojans before they could embed themselves. Does Endpoint or other security software look into the recovery directory? I have yet to find any documentation showing a single virus or trojan deployed on a system from the recovery area. Are there any cases? Excellent tutorial. Yet, I only use restore points for restoring the operating system, not for restoring documents. For that purpose I use Acronis Nonstop Backup (part of Acronis True Image 2011). This application has a timeline which enables you to restore earlier versions of documents you have been working on.

According to the Total Army Personnel Command in Alexandria, VA, Matt Urban of Michigan was awarded 29 medals, as many as Audie Murphy, for his service in WW2.Urban's Medal of Honor recommendation was somehow lost in the shuffle, so he did not receive his MOH until the late 70s. His other medals included: 7 Purple Hearts, Legion of Merit, Croix de Guerre with a Silver Star, Silver Star with one oak leaf cluster. Perhaps if Urban received the MOH when he should have, he would be as famous as Audie Murphy. Although COL David Hackworth earned over 100 medals, he was embarrassed to wear them all. General Douglas MacArthur is considered by many to be America's most decorated soldier. He was the only soldier to be a general officer in three different wars, WWI,WWII and Korea. He was the youngest Chief of Staff and the only American General to become Field Marshal of a foreign country, the Philipines. He was nominated for 3 Medals of Honor and awarded one. His records at West Point were not broken until Pete Dawkins exceeded them in the late 50s. Fifty years of service gave him an extensive collection of recognition.

Finally! It was a long time coming, but the Kentucky Wildcats got their second victory of the season against the Samford Bulldogs in Commonwealth Stadium on a night that honored it's outgoing seniors. The Wildcats achieved victory in a dominant performance. Freshman Jalen Whitlow served as starting quarter back and completed an 11 yard pass to WR Gene McCaskill for the game's first points fairly early in the first quarter. Whitlow then followed that with a 20 yard touchdown run about a minute before the end of the quarter to put the Cats up 14-0. He would ultimately throw for 66 yards and complete 10 of 13 passes. Freshman QB Patrick Towles threw for 47 yards. Kentucky's running backs were given a lot of attention on offense with Junior RB Raymond Sanders leading the way with 123 yards and scoring one touchdown that put the Cats up 24-3. Freshman RB Dyshawn Mobley contributed 82 yards while Junior RB Jonathan George contributed 76 yards. Samford was a non-factor offensively. The Bulldogs only managed a field goal and moved the ball for 102 yards -- 21 yards less than the Wildcats' leading rusher of the game. While the game is largely a non-factor in a season where the possibility of bowl eligibility expired weeks ago, it was a needed boost for the players and the fans that showed up in a mostly empty stadium.

Space is as complex, the space contained in an object must be bigger than the object which contains it. My aim is to separate the object from its object-hood. I think of this work as a sort of descent into limbo, a sort of going below, going beneath, going underground, even though it's completely above ground. What I'm trying to deal with is a sense of disorientation, that causes one to readjust one's view, even if it's only for a minute, in order to sort of re-sight oneself in relation to the volume, in relation to the colour, et cetera. At the heart of this is darkness. I think I've had three or four moments in my work over the last twenty-five years that have been real discoveries.

I know that 'the global economy' is only good for the 'top boys' and is shite for the lower minions (private sector) in society. But I cannot see how protecting the UKs job market is not a good thing alongside making foreign investment worthwhile to gain a financial input to our huge domestic market. Would I be correct that a tax on 'produced' imports against a lower tax (or tax breaks maybe) on 'produced' goods produced in the UK would create more jobs in the UK and therefore generate growth -- or am I missing something. Of course low employment taxes ERSNI would be required too. How about hugely taxing people who employ foreign nationals as against home grown workers. Don't get me wrong -- I object to tax in general but realise its necessity for given social requirements. But surely the system needs to work for the UK and its home businesses and not for the 'Global' economy. I know I'm being a tad simplistic -- but having things explained clearly helps me establish my position. And I cannot think of a better site for getting these things explained clearly. Comparing the failure of large nationalised industries with the banking industry is not really possible on a number of fronts.

of the exact solution, especially for the high wave numbers. In order to get reliable solutions for high wave numbers, a refined mesh or a higher order of the polynomial approximation can be applied. Through these schemes, the solutions can be improved, but this will result in large systems of equation; thus, the computation time will greatly increase. Thereby, the minimization or even the elimination of the pollution effect is strongly desirable. In the past years, a number of efforts have been spent on the development of FEM to achieve this aim. Thompson and Pinsky presented a Galerkin least squares FEM to reduce the dispersion [ 9 ], and Oberai and Pinsky developed the residual-based FEM to reach this goal [ 10 ]. Partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM) is another method, in which a priori knowledge about the solution of the problem is introduced into the FEM [ 11 ]. Unfortunately, this method will lead to ill-conditioned system matrices; hence, the use of the classical iterative solvers becomes complicated. In parallel with the FEM and BEM, meshless methods are relatively new numerical methods. As compared with FEM, no mesh is needed in meshless method for the discretization of the problems. On the contrary, the governing equations are discreted by arbitrarily distributed points. In [ 12 -- 14 ], meshless methods have been presented to solve practical engineering problems. However, using the meshless methods to solve the acoustic problems, especially the interior acoustic problem is relatively few. Element free | IN | IN RA | 3,245,531 |
Jim Simpson proposed this past March. Additionally, buses, which carry more passengers each weekday across the Hudson River than rail, deserve greater priority. Creating a New Jersey-bound exclusive bus lane in the Lincoln Tunnel during evening rush hours, modeled after the successful morning peak exclusive bus lane into NYC, is one way to improve bus service. Finding the Funding New Jersey's Transportation Trust Fund continues to be overburdened by debt, and a historical political unwillingness to identify new and stable revenue sources remains the biggest roadblock to a healthy transportation system in New Jersey. Governor Christie has rightly called on the federal government to help rebuild New Jersey in the aftermath of Sandy, but he remains steadfast against increasing the state's gas tax to pay for the costs of New Jersey's roads and mass transit in the future. To effectively upgrade New Jersey's transportation system to address the challenges of the climate change while also putting the state's economy back on track, New Jersey's elected officials will need to muster the political courage to make the difficult funding choices that have been put off for too long.

Review: Hilary Devey's Women at the Top... Until last night I had no idea that so few women in the work place make it as far as the boardroom. And this BBC2 programme, hosted by top business woman and millionaire Hilary Devey, set out to discover why. Hilary Devey. Click here to view. After all, we were told girls, now outshine boys academically at GCSE and also at A level and even university. And studies continually show that businesses can become more profitable by ensuring they have a gender balance. For example, companies which employ an equal number of men and women (but throughout the layers so at the top management levels rather than just the general workforce) enjoy greater profitability. This is because men and women bring different ideas to a business -- and combining both female and male brains has shown to consistently work best. Hilary, who runs a haulage and freight network company -- and a self-confessed business woman through and through -- drafted in a 'gender balancing consultant' who discovered most of the basic workforce in her warehouse was male, the middle management was a mixture but in the boardroom Hilary is the sole female. And some departments, such as marketing, were solely female. She wondered if she could get more women into her own boardroom if it would increase the profitability. No doubt it would do.

Each actor is wonderful in his or her role being far funnier and likeable than any of the actors in the above-mentioned sit-com. The stand-out is Guilermo Diaz (he also starred in "Stonewall") as Eric. The actress that plays Beth is also one of my favorites. Frankly, I like them all!! I just wish, in my youth, I had a group of friends like those portrayed in this movie. Maybe I'm reliving my youth a little (or at least a fantasy thereof), by repeated viewings of this film. The critics felt this movie was a 1990's version of a 1930's slapstick romantic comedy where "boy gets girl"; however, in this movie "boy gets boy". The gay romance is interwoven seamlessly into the fabric of the film occurring at the same time as a heterosexual wedding. It makes for a wonderful, delightful fun-filled romp of fun and laughter. I originally saw this movie in the theatre and have both the VHS and DVD. As many times as I have watched this flick, I have never gotten tired of it.

If Congress authorizes the Treasury to make our Social Security and Medicare payments for us, thus allowing our take-home pay to rise, the economy will begin to recover. The elimination of FICA deductions would provide consumers and business with more than a trillion additional dollars annually, exactly what a healthy economy needs. . Won't this increase the federal deficit? Yes, but President Nixon's signature guaranteed the government never will run short of money to service its debts. This act removed taxes as a necessary source of federal money. Together with federal spending, taxation became a mere tool to create optimal output and employment. Whatever deficit accomplishes that goal is the right size. . Doesn't a large deficit cause higher interest rates? No, interest rates are set by the Federal Reserve. The government can set rates at any level it wishes. . Doesn't a large federal debt create a shortage of lending funds? No, the more money the government pumps into the economy, the more lending funds are created. . Won't our children have to pay for the increased deficit? No, the government owes the debt and easily services a debt of any size. Our children are not the debtors. (In many cases, they even are the creditors.) Because the "right" size debt will continue to grow forever as our economy grows, it never should be reduced or paid back. .

No, she wanted me to move 0.77 from the APIC account (balance, half-a-billion dollars) to the Common Stock account (balance, about 50 million dollars). So it was an entry between equity accounts for an amount so small that you would need a scientific calculator to figure out the percentage amount. Materiality, anyone? Mmm.

the binos with the one open eye (now usually your right) and then instead of turning the focussing wheel, you turn the diopter adjustment wheel located in front of the focussing wheel until the opened eye is now also perfectly focused on the same object. Once done, the binoculars will be perfectly calibrated to your eyesight. Take a look with both eyes at the object you used and it should be perfectly in focus. There are also a few binoculars like the very high spec Swarovski EL binoculars pictured on the right have the diopter adjustment setting integrated into the actual focussing wheel itself. The advantage of this over the ones above is that your setting cannot accidentally be changed when turning the focusing wheel during normal use. To adjust the setting on these, first you focus the binos on something as normal, but with only one eye open (usually your left). Then you pull back on the focussing wheel which engages the gearing on the diopter and exposes the graduated scale. Now close the opposite eye to the first step and look through the binos with the open eye and then just turn the wheel as you would during normal focussing, because the diopter gearing is engaged, the wheel now usually turns with a number of click-stops and you continue until the opened eye is now also perfectly focused on the same object. Then you just click the diopter adjustment/focusing wheel back into place to lock in your setting | HI | HI HT | 230,031 |
it's time to take the green lobby seriously. Maybe its time to question Trans Tasman's assumption that if you're green you're not credible. In addressing that I am taking a somewhat targeted approach to my allotted topic for this session of new approaches to protecting biodiversity on private land. I want to focus on that issue of why DOC is focused, though not singularly so, on the approach of partnering with business for conservation. New Zealanders have been too smug for too long about the state of their natural environment. So it is a welcome sign that business leaders are emerging to argue that a green economy is critical to New Zealand's future prosperity. So why are they doing it? The Nielsen Global Survey of Corporate Citizenship, polling over 28,000 consumers in 56 countries, showed that 66 percent of consumers around the world prefer to buy products and services from companies that give something back to society. Of those, 46 percent, say they are willing to pay extra. That is particularly so for people under 40. And of the things they want business to give back, environmental sustainability tops the list. We need to be celebrating the leaders who genuinely get that. But we cannot afford to be too patient. Incremental change over a long period will not get us to where we need to be as a country that is dependent on exporting around an increasingly contested brand that incorporates environmental integrity.

What sort of cooperative? You are probably just referring to a cooperatively-run business? I was looking into something much smaller, in fact just a local cooperative that acts as a hub for farmers in the area to distribute their produce, milk etc. Nothing revolutionary, really, but I think it could be run in a very intelligent way and strip off a lot of the fat from most cooperatives which become little more than a corporate owned, big-agro organic hippie center.

suspicion on the rest. However, though the context and precise wording of the Diary have been mangled, it seems probable that it did contain the "Hundred Years Ago" text, at least. Incidentally, the line about how "They hung a man for making steam," if authentic, is interesting. It seems an early date (though I would not know) for that tension between sail and steam. In the Rev. Lowrie voyage to Frisco in 1849, above, he took two steamships to get there, and at least twice in his journal he recommends strongly that all passengers avoid sailing vessels! I'm presuming we are looking mainly for influences rather than origins. The sporadic evidence strongly suggests multiple origins and we can only guess anyway. The strongest influences on the main body of material when it was at its height seem to be various channels of African/American occupations. Whereas the cotton screwing won't have been the only channel of influence I still think it would have been one channel. Once this study is relatively complete another interesting development would be a timeline using specific chanties. I would suggest rather than using the dates of references, use e.g., c1825 as the suggested date of when the chanty was being performed. In order to do this effectively it might be helpful to have Master Titles for those chanties known by a variety of titles.

and figures I too was a student at flight school, whose success or failure depended on knowing my planes inside and out. My other favorite was called Darklands , and it was a role-playing game set in medieval Germany, where you could (among many other things) brew potions. Its copy protection scheme tasked me with matching a certain symbol to its alchemical meaning; the symbols were distributed across the massive brick of a manual that came with it. Often times, the symbols would be set opposite a beautiful woodcut or an interesting historical tidbit, and on the way to solving the copy protection challenge I'd sometimes get sidetracked for twenty minutes in the world of medieval Germany. A lot of it was extraneous, of course; but this simply made it much easier to imagine my way into the heads of my characters, where such arcane knowledge would live anyway. For a ten year old with an overactive imagination, the manuals were no small part in making me love these games. For me, the apotheosis of manuals came not long after that. First there was Warcraft: Orcs and Humans' faux-parchment-covered, runed-and-illustrated ambigram of a manual, which dedicated far more space to transmitting backstory than it did to describing the nuts and bolts of software.

You may remain skeptical of what I say; but to me, that constitutes a "measurement" that says: same signal/stream. Today in physics there are two fundamental approaches to time. The first and most common approach says we use clocks to measure the time component of space-time, space and time being cofounded as the basis of physical reality. However this approach has no experimental support. There is no evidence whatsoever that clocks measure one aspect of space-time, and in truth we cannot observe space-time | ID | ID DF | 444,213 |
to communications is like walking into the grocery store without a list. Their thinking goes like this: It's January. Time for a newsletter. Or: Guess we should have a Facebook page. Another common approach is to have a plan that resembles a list. January newsletter. Check! Newspaper ad. Check! Annual report. Check! Sent a message on Twitter. Check! In this case, the plan is often developed with minimal thought. For example, it's time to send an 8 page newsletter to our normal list because that's what we have always done. No consideration is given to if a newsletter is the right way to reach your audience, why you are including a story or how the time and resources could be better used. Checking it off the list is the priority. Communicating with a strategy When you communicate with a strategy, you do so knowing what you are doing, why, how your various efforts work together and have an idea on whether your objectives are being achieved. You may for instance choose to eliminate or reduce the frequency of a print newsletter in order to have an e-newsletter. You might choose the e-newsletter to reach more people more frequently.

It is "a fact that forcible expiratory efforts in violent coughing or vomiting, and especially 19 [Dr. Keen, of Philadelphia, calls attention (letter n. d.), to his paper in the 'Med. and Surg.

Ordinary respiration did not affect the concavity, but on moderate coughing a little cone bulged up, and a severe cough changed the concavity into a convex surface rising above the surface of the head.] 20 Professor Donders remarks (ibid. p. 28), that, "After injury to the eye, after operations, and in some forms of internal inflammation, we attach great value to the uniform support of the closed eyelids, and we increase this in many instances by the application of a bandage.

The final match in the series, at Hamilton on 20 February, was one of the most thrilling one-day games ever. New Zealand chased down a massive 346 with one wicket and three balls to spare. This was the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history, eclipsing the 337/5 the New Zealanders had posted just two days earlier at Auckland's Eden Park. The series was especially significant in terms of records between the two countries as the New Zealand team had won the first match in Wellington by 10 wickets -- the heaviest defeat ever experienced by an Australian ODI team. The series also showed the growth of big hitting since the days when New Zealander Lance Cairns and his bat Excalibur thrilled the crowds with sixes. A total of 26 sixes were hit in the Hamilton match. Doug Bracewell's 6-40 spearheads dramatic comeback in Hobart, 2011 Bracewell's match-winning spell of 6-40 in the second innings of this low-scoring affair saw the New Zealanders secure an unlikely victory. Bracewell's return, in only his third test match, was the second-best New Zealand innings figures on Australian soil, after Richard Hadlee's 9-52 in Brisbane in 1985. The victory was all the more remarkable given New Zealand was bowled out in the first innings of the test for a paltry 150 runs.

likely to be in the lowest level part of its operation, which was the use of API calls in ntdll.dll to enumerate all handles on the system and determine which are tokens. I tested the handles.exe tool supplied with the sysinternals toolset from Microsoft and this still worked correctly on 64-bit Windows 2003, so I set about to investigate why. When I originally developed Incognito, the ntdll.dll API calls were undocumented by Microsoft and only intended to be used by them internally. For this reason, the interfaces were noted to be subject to potential future change. One of the key API calls incognito uses is the NtQuerySystemInformation() call. I originally pieced together how to use this, along with NtQueryObject(), from various bits of information I found across the web, along with a lot of experimentation. This has since been documented by Microsoft as can be seen here. Originally, I had passed the value of SystemHandleInformation as the first parameter in order to enumerate all handles on the system. When looking at the documentation Microsoft had since released, I discovered that this was not given as one of the options. I suspected that Microsoft had since changed the interface and that some operating system versions were still backwards compatible but that others were not. I figured I should probably investigate how handles.exe from the sysinternals toolset was enumerating them.

game that's very long, you can take different risks with games. What are you expecting from the next generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles? I think what happens this time will be like what happened in the past. Generally, next generation consoles pick up what's interesting in the world around them -- they look at what the PC experiences are, what the mobile experiences are, they look at the social elements ... and then manufacturers come up with a unit that you can put in front put the TV but that takes advantage of all the innovations that have happened since the last generation, and at a price that is accessible. So for sure, the machines will be more powerful, but we can expect this generation -- because they took quite a long time! -- to actually come with something really new, really interesting that will boost the market enormously.
