Schools an asset to communityMay 02,2014I am a proud member of the Rutland High School graduating class of 2011. I am currently a student at the University of Vermont, studying mathematics. When I learned that the school budget had been defeated for the first time in history, I was alarmed by the potential damage that could do to the current and future students, the community, and the school system itself. Please support the school budget on May 13.
I attended Rutland City Public Schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. My years within the walls of Rutlands schools and on the athletic fields prepared me well for my studies at UVM and my career beyond. The school system in Rutland is an asset to the entire community and one of the reasons people do decide to move to the area.
Please support the school budget on May 13.

I am attempting to get things rolling along at indiesocialclub.com.
I am not able to get the visual editor working. Also, in the text editor, the Add Media icon "works", in that it takes you to the library, but when you click on "insert image", it does not insert the image.
Although they are not disabled now, I have attempted to get this going with all plugins deactivated and in twenty-eleven. No go.
I have also overwritten all the wp-includes and wp-admin files. No go.
I appreciate any help I can get.

I've been using bitlbee on OS X for a while now, but I've hit a roadblock when trying to use it the way I'd like to.
I have a .plist file created which launches bitlbee at boot, and thats working fine. I then use irssi to connect, and use my work jabber, as well as GTalk and Facebook chat.
Ideally, I'd like to use 2 instances of bitlbee, with 2 instances of irssi – thus keeping my personal comms seperate from business related ones.
I can't quite figure out (via
launchctl and
.plist files) how to get two instances of bitlbee running at boot, listening on different ports (6667 and 6668 for simplicity). Once that is working, it's a simple matter of having irssi connect to
localhost:port and all is well.
Thoughts or ideas? Configs can be provided if needed.

Talk:Stochastic drift
|WikiProject Statistics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
"The drift rate of zero means that the expected value of an stochastic variable at any future time is equal to the current value. The standard Brownian motion process has a drift rate of zero and a variance of one." http://investment-and-finance.net/derivatives/d/drift-rate.html
The above statement should be exemplified for clarity as proposed in the edits of the first paragraph.
Problem: the Wiki Article states: "A related term is the drift rate, which is the rate at which the average changes. For example, a process that counts the number of heads in a series of coin tosses has a drift rate of 1/2 per toss. "
The average of a sum of coin tosses does not change 1/2 per toss. The average changes on order 1/2n per toss. Thus the example does not illustrate the drift rate well. The sum changes 0 or 1 per toss, assuming 1=heads and 0=tails. So the sum is expected to change an average of 1/2 per toss. The sum is not the average.
Proposing the following wording:
"The drift rate of a coin toss process is zero and the variance is 1/2, assuming 1=heads and 0=tails."
or equivalent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianvon (talk • contribs) 17:06, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Categorical Confusion? The Strategic Implications of Recognizing Challenges Either as Irregular or Traditional

Brief Synopsis
Strategic theory should educate to enable effective strategic practice, but much of contemporary theory promotes confusion, not clarity, of suitable understanding. A little strategic theory goes a long way, at least it does if it is austere and focused on essentials. Unfortunately, contemporary strategic conceptualization in the U.S. defense community is prolix, over-elaborate, and it confuses rather than clarifies. Recent debate about irregular, as contrasted allegedly with traditional, challenges to U.S. national security have done more harm than good. Conceptualization of and for an operational level of war can imperil the truly vital nexus between strategy and tactics. In much the same way, the invention of purportedly distinctive categories of challenge endangers the relationship between general theory for statecraft, war, and strategy, and strategic and tactical practice for particular historical cases. It is not helpful to sort challenges into supposedly distinctive categories. But, if such categorization proves politically or bureaucratically unavoidable, its potential for harm can be reduced by firm insistence upon the authority of the general theory of strategy.

Superb set of icons!
Kinda late to comment on this old submission but I was wondering you could provide the psd template you used to create the icons. I REALLY love this icon set and have some icons I would like to create with the theme as they are not included in your package. Let me know if thats an option, thanks!
how do i use these icons?
awesome bro!
I'd like to have Sibelius and MediaMonkey
could you make IP for this?!
Damn Jamie, nice set
No Minecraft or Spotify Icon ? Can you make those? Btw. Firefox icon looks strange to me I don't like it, the rest is very nice.
Psst. Jamie! Will there be a 256px? 128px don't look good large style
nice ........
Reminds me of Harry Potter.
Looks magical !
Looks magical !
do you think that we might have access to the .psd for more specific apps that aren't common (or in my case proprietary)?
I can't seem to put my finger on it, but these icons are lacking something...
Pretty plain I know, but they seem to serve their purpose.
Not really the plain look, its just that they look sort of tacky, almost as if cut out and thrown onto a layer or something. Don't get me wrong though, you make great stuff but I'm just not feeling these, has too much of the windows style on top of the previous. No worries though, most of the average users will love them.
Nice Would love to have an icon for the software Blender
Included in the mini pack
Wow, thank you very much!
If you have the time and the will it would be awesome if you could make icons for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and CCleaner. Or, as SoundLife2 mentioned above, you could share the PSD file
Cool Thanks a lot!
This is great!
The Windows Icon would make an awesome Start Orb.

WASHINGTON (FNS) -- Conference negotiations on a massive overhaul of the nation's farm subsidy program are expected to be completed by the end of this month, following the passage of the House version Feb. 29, congressional leaders said. The Senate passed its plan Feb. 7. Both versions would rewrite the rules for farm subsidies, essentially ending a system that dates back to the New Deal. Instead of giving subsidies or price supports to farmers, the government would for seven years give ...

BLUF: Exceptional pitching prospect with huge FB-CB combo and massive upside.
The Player: Jameson Taillon (RHP, Pittsburgh Pirates) – Taillon was the second overall pick in 2010 and did not debut until the 2011 season. With Low-A West Virginia, he posted a 3.98 ERA across 92.2 innings (23 starts) with just 22 walks and 97 strikeouts as the Pirates handled him with kid gloves his first year. In 23 starts with High-A Bradenton in 2012, Taillon finished with a 3.82 ERA and just 98 strikeouts in 125 innings. He received a three-start cameo in Double-A at the end of the year and posted a 1.59 ERA with 18 strikeouts and just one walk in 17 innings.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Personal Observation (FIL 2010, SAL 2011, EL 2012), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-6, 225): Fantastic frame. Excellent present strength in lower half and mature, well-built upper body. Long arms and legs. Physically imposing. Plus-plus body.
Delivery/Mechanics: Simple, repeatable and smooth delivery. Every part of it works well. Maintains excellent control and balance throughout. Shows good arm speed but will get a little long in back at times, causing the arm to drag behind his lower half. He corrects the problem quickly and shows the ability to make in-game adjustments. Quality overall mechanical profile.
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Wind-up): High – 99, Low – 91, Average 94-96, Grade – 70/70
Fastball (FB) Velocity (Stretch): High – 99, Low 90, Average 94-95, Grade – 60/70|
Fastball (FB) Movement: Solid natural life on the ball. No exceptional movement but has enough to help him. Relies more heavily on leverage and angle to the plate than movement. Average present and future. Grade – 50/50
Overall Fastball: Tremendous potential. Big velocity profile with projection to sit plus-plus in both the wind-up and stretch. Velo drops occasionally in stretch but that should be more easily sustained with experience/polish. Highly leveraged pitch. Aggressive with it and can blow it past hitters even when they know its coming. Still has modest potential for slight gain in average velo; could sit closer to elite range but plus-plus range is a near certainty. Grade – 60/70
Curveball (CB): Knockout pitch. Absolute hammer. Could dominate in the big leagues right now. Tight spin with good velocity. Sharp break, both horizontal and vertical. True plus-plus out pitch that he loves to throw to all parts of the zone and as a chase pitch. Trusts it implicitly. No additional growth needed. Grade – 70/70
Change-up (CH): Still developing. Shows modest feel for pitch. Has occasional arm speed but also slows and doesn't trust it at times. Pitch shows some sink at times and could complement FB well if he can get the hang of it. High degree of pitchability suggests pitch can still develop. Average potential with work. May take another year or two to get the hang of it. Grade – 40/50
Control: Absolutely pounds the zone. Throws FB and CB for strikes as matter of routine. Little trouble repeating deliver, allowing for a near elite control-profile long term. Control of CH is still developing and may not come until comfort with pitch improves. Grade – 60/70
Command: Command projection is easy. Throws so m any strikes that just need refinement to demonstrate command. FB command is coming quickly as he showed an ability to move the ball to both sides of the plate. Still learning to consistently work FB down in the zone and elevate when he wants to, but that should come. Locates CB very well. Command of CH is way behind but that is to be expected. Below-average command overall right now but potential for plus with ease of delivery, consistency and current control profile. Grade – 40/60
Summation: Huge ceiling. Two pitches that can consistently show in the plus-plus range right now and have a high degree of certainty to pitch in that range long term. FB and CB are both dominating pitches that form a potent combo. Throws strikes with ease, aiding overall profile. CH and command must improve and have potential to do so in time. Very intelligent. Likes to attack and pitch off his two best pitches. Knows the art of pitching and doesn't get caught just trying to chuck it past hitters. Strong number two projection. Falls short of true frontline upside until CH shows more progress.
Relative Risk: Low. Tremendous one-two punch with FB-CB combo, good feel, clean delivery, definite MLB starter.
Future: Taillon is approaching big-league readiness. He will return to Double-A this year and will focus on the development of his CH, his command and maintaining his aggressiveness on the mound. He has the potential to reach the big leagues in 2013 but will more likely arrive in June 2014 after his service time is pushed back. Taillon is a tremendous talent that will slot in well behind Gerrit Cole atop the Pittsburgh rotation.

Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder, passed from parent to child. Children with sickle cell disease have two defective hemoglobin S genes, one from each parent. Various forms of sickle cell disorder occur when a person inherits one hemoglobin S gene (sickle cell gene) from one parent and one other type of defective hemoglobin gene from the other parent.
Normally, a person inherits two genes that tell the body to produce normal hemoglobin A. One gene comes from each parent. People who inherit one defective hemoglobin S gene and one normal hemoglobin A gene have sickle cell trait. These people don't have symptoms of sickle cell disease, and their bodies don't make sickled blood cells. But they can pass the defective hemoglobin S gene to their children.

Monday, October 17
Note: David Schoenfield and Eric Neel were second guessing Tony La Russa's decision to leave a tiring Chris Carpenter in to face and pitch to Lance Berkman in the seventh inning ... but, well, you know what happened a few minutes later. Here is the live transmission of their discussion during the ninth inning ...
David: Notice how it is suddenly getting quiet ... (said immediately after ball two to Jim Edmonds).
David: These are fans who KNOW the pain of defeat ... (said after ball three to Edmonds).
Eric: Ohmygod ... Pujols ... (said as Pujols digs in).
Eric: Yikes!
David: He destroyed that ... holy ... 600 feet!!! (Said in moment of excited exaggeration, perhaps.)
Eric: Insane.
Eric: Beat the crap out of it!!!
David: Brenly called it -- don't throw Albert a fastball.
Eric: Looked like a flat slider to me.

• Playoff theories: What really wins in the postseason
David: Yeah, you're right ... wow ... man, I can't imagine being a Houston fan right now.
Eric: So we're headed for a big Bagwell pinch-hit moment here?
David: You have to send him up there, and you can't count on Izzy, that's for sure.
Eric: That was one sweet Pujolsian bit of majesty right there, friend.
Eric: Lidge curled up like a baby.
David: Don't forget ... Eckstein singles on 1-2 pitch.
Eric: Eck is a magic man, I swear.
Eric: Vizcaino? (Pinch-hitting for Eric Bruntlett.)
David: Yeah, why not Bagwell? Gotta give him a chance to poke one out over that short porch.
Eric: That homer reminds me of '86 in Anaheim; David Henderson and such.
David: Good call. And remember -- the Angels actually scored a run to tie it in the bottom of the ninth, before the Red Sox finally won it in 11. And then the next two as well. It's a gut-buster. Man, Astros fans have had more gut-busters than perhaps any franchise, even including the Red Sox.
David: I think this game officially raises this postseason so far from a C to a B- ... with room to grow to a higher grade.
Eric: And now they go back to Busch, where the crowd will be out of its head ... and you hate to trot out cliches like "momentum" and such, but there is a psychic toll that comes with a game like this. The Astros players will say they don't feel it, that they will turn the page, and I believe they will, but man, this is the moment in this series when the Astros history comes into play, when it starts to feel like the club is battling not only the Cardinals but also the franchise's demons. I know that's silly. I know there's nothing to it. I also know the Angels in '86 went to Boston and gacked up their tickets to the Series. Of course, all that said, the Astros do have one thing neither the Angels nor the Cardinals can claim, and that's Roy Oswalt on the hill to start Game 6.
David: I don't even know what to say right now. My fingers are still shaking, struggling to type or think clearly, and I'm not even an Astros fan. And while you may be throwing Roy Oswalt out there at me -- and you didn't even mention that he mowed the Cardinals down on five hits and just one run (on a homer by guess who) back in Game 2, or that he's the only pitcher in baseball to win 20 games each of the past two seasons, or that he's got that Mississippi mud running through his veins and probably won't be rattled one tiny bit, even with every baseball fan from Arkansas to North Dakota saying a few prayers over their Stan Musial and Ozzie Smith baseball cards -- well, let me tell you that Astros fans know the truth. They know they've been here in 1980 and 1986 and nearly every year in the late '90s, and they know they were up 3 games to 2 heading back to St. Louis last year and that the Cards won that one 6-4 in 12 innings, but the 'Stros still had Roger Clemens ready for Game 7, and they know that if Oswalt somehow loses Game 6 -- and don't forget that Mr. Mulder isn't exactly easy pickin's out there -- that they have Clemens ready once again to go in Game 7.
So let me just say that Astros fans are damn scared right now, and there's no other pleasant way to state it. That there was a reason that Minute Maid started going quiet after those two balls to Edmonds. That Astros fans know they only lost one game all year in which they led going into the ninth. Before Mr. Pujols, that is. And they know, in fact, that maybe, just maybe, Cardinals fans are a little better off right now.
Eric: Here's an interesting thing that happened with Lidge and Pujols. Lidge stuck with the slider. He's got a tremendous fastball, but he didn't go with it. Pujols' postgame interview was like, "Yeah, it was a slider; that's his pitch." He was waiting on it. All he needed was for one to flatten out and hang just a bit.
I talked to Robb Nen earlier this year about relieving and he kept coming back to one main idea: go out with your best pitch, do not get beat on your second or third pitch, etc. I understand that from a psychological standpoint; there's a kind of absolution in being unselfconscious, in knowing ahead of time that what your pitch is, in not having to make a decision in the moment of truth. But from a strategic standpoint, it strikes me as old-fashioned to a fault. You have to be willing to think along with, and out in front of, a hitter as smart and talented as Pujols if you want to win that moment. You have to be willing to deviate from "your best pitch," if that pitch is precisely what the hitter expects. There is no shame in getting hit with your second-best pitch, especially if that pitch is a 96-mph heater. At least there's no more shame in that than in getting beaten, like a drum, like a monkey head in a carnival game, with the "best pitch" everyone in the ballpark knew was coming.
David: You know, even Brenly in the booth called the pitch, but he kind of missed the analysis in a way. He said, "You can't throw Pujols a fastball here." He probably said that because the first pitch was a slider at the ankles -- an hittable pitch -- that Pujols swung and missed badly. So by saying, "Don't throw Pujols a fastball" it was obvious -- especially to Pujols, as you say -- that another slider was coming. Now, of course if Lidge throws that same nasty slider as he did on the first pitch, it's not a home run -- but Pujols doesn't swing at it either; he takes it for a ball. I don't have a point, other than you can hang a slider and you can't hang a fastball. And if you get beat on a 97-mph heater, well, you tip your hat and still curl up like a baby.
Eric: Exactly. And I think there's something in this moment that isn't just about the Astros being snakebitten, or Pujols being unbelievably good. I think there's something about slavish devotion to a familiar idea. Pujols beat Lidge here, but Lidge helped him a bit, and not just with where the ball went but with where his head was. It will be interesting to watch Lidge in the next one or two games now. Garner will back him and come back to him, and he should, and so the question will be: Does Brad toy with what he does at all? Does he mix things up? It's a hard thing to do, no doubt. But if you're Brad, the question you have to ask yourself is: Is it harder than watching Pujols launch your ball up into the night?

An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical (e.g. reflexes) challenge. The genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media such as literature and film, encompassing a wide variety of literary genres. Nearly all adventure games (text and graphic) are designed for a single player, since this emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.

Crysis 3's Final '7 Wonders' Episode is the 'End of Days'
Written Wednesday, February 13, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
You know how tough it is to find a good sniper spot, right? Well in this final episode of the 7 Wonders of Crysis 3 video, Prophet seems to have bagged himself the best sniper spot in New York city. Nice work.
Titled 'End of Days', the newest and last entry in the Albert Hughes-directed video series has nothing to do with the mediocre Arnie movie, and everything to do with Prophet using his Nanosuit, fighting for survival among the CELL patrols and Ceph infestation beneath the New York Nanodome.
In the trailer, you'll see Prophet cloaking, shooting, leaping and running, before scaling old lady liberty herself at the end, before he floats listlessly in the void of outer space. "Welcome to the end of the world" the ominous voiceover booms.
Crysis 3 is out on February 19th in North America and February 22nd in Europe. You can read our latest preview here and check out our chat with Crytek's Cevat Yerli and Rasmus Højengaard here, but be sure to watch the vid below first, yeah?

Men love Fantasy Football almost more than women (or more in some cases). Rotoworld's Kay Adams gives men the BEST of BOTH worlds. What could be better than getting advice on your flex position from a FIVE alarm smoke show?
ANSWER: NOT much
Adams is all over the fantasy football landscape (which is never a bad thing). You can find her on Sirius XM Fantasy, Yahoo Sports & Rotoworld (NBC Sports).
And when football season is over, you can find sweet Kay as the in game reporter for MLB's St. Louis Cardinals.
Nothing like a lady that EATS, BREATHES & SLEEPS sports….

The Texas governor says the quickest way to turn around the economy is to deploy American ingenuity and to tap American energy.
He plans to use the first policy speech of his White House run to pledge to put America back to work, creating energy the country could sell around the world.
Perry's speech on Friday comes as his campaign tries to move past some early bumps.
Perry hopes to steady that course in a speech at a Pittsburgh-area steel plant.
While echoing the call for increased drilling on federal lands, he also cast voters' choice in 2012 as a referendum on President Barack Obama.

I'm running on an overclocked quad-core to 3.6ghz. I've got a lot of fast ram and an SSD. My motherboard is top tier.
Yet, when my Firefox addons update, I have to sit here and wait several seconds (like 6 or 7 seconds) after they download. A big Visual Studio project loads faster than it takes the addons to update. I'm talking about even after they download, I have to wait 6-7 seconds for them to finish updating.
Is there an artificial pause in Firefox updates or something?

This comes from Extra P's Professor @ Large LP, which hits on June 26th.
This is very dope. When it comes to the great producers, Large Pro's only competition on the mic is RZA. I feel like he's improving with age lyrically.
This is dope.
Its so good to see a legend still putting out quality hip hop in 2012
Cant wait for the LP.
This song and the few I heard this morning off the LP are amazing. @Model Citizen I agree I think he is getting better lyrically and as a producer as he gets older… Totally flippin' the script on the whole rap world and agesim… Don't even get me started on how so many people say Hip Hop can only be made by the young and older cats need to retire. It's the most ignorant thing I have ever heard about any artform and shows just how ignorant most fans, critics and even the artists of rap are…

Every single time I have to go on a mission to find the URL within my site. This obviously only applies to internal links, but surely by now we must have a better way to handle this?
I hope someone has an idea

City Re: What's CHAC Got to do With It?
In a swift move to prevent the Capitol Hill murders from stigmatizing CHAC, Stranger theatre critic Brendan Kiley has an editorial in this week's paper where he details the important programming that happens at CHAC.
Brendan writes:
It's a dangerous fallacy to conflate the dance with the murder that happened afterwards. Hosting all kinds of music, theater, dance, and visual eventsfrom gritty to haute, scary to sweetis exactly what our local arts institutions should be doing.
I called artistic director Matthew Kwatinetz to ask how things were going for CHAC in the aftermath of the shootings. "I've been better," he said. "One of my friends got killed. We're not talking to the press anymore… That's it."
So, at the risk of being presumptuous, I'm going to talk for him, to give any anxious and suspicious strangers a tour of the Capitol Hill Arts Centerfar from being a dank, druggy rave-hole, CHAC is a for-profit multidisciplinary arts center with a nonprofit, politically active atmosphere and heavy emphasis on theater and social justice.
And so it was that I happened to find myself at CHAC last night. A friend who's working on what's shaping up to be a pretty big deal locally produced movie phoned me yesterday evening and invited me to the "wrap" party. Where is it? I asked. CHAC.
The movie, Cthulhu, has been described as Seattle's environmentalist, anti-Bush, horror movie based on an H.P. Lovecraft story. Tori Spelling is in it! (I've seen some of the sets and clips, and it looks creepy.)
Anyway, there I was at CHAC's lower levelwhere Friday night's zombie dance party had been. The place, decorated haphazardly with some of the scary set pieces from Cthulhu, was packed with the film crew and their friends doing karaoke, drinking, and giving heartfelt speeches. (Screen writer Grant Cogswell thanked everyone for helping him put his Pacific Northwest "big middle finger to the President" on film.)
"Can you imagine Grant giving an Academy Award speech?" I overheard a jubilant member of the film crew ask her friend.
Most everyone there seemed unwaware of the potentially uncomfortable irony that CHAC was hosting the wrap up party for their bloody horror movie shoot. Right on. (There was even, reportedly, an afterparty at the production studio, just a few blocks away on 14th, where you could tour the remnants of the creepy set.)
Three cheers to CHAC.
While CHAC has canceled this weekend's "Underground Existence" party event (CHAC spokeswoman Amy Baranski told the PI "We decided to cancel the event because we thought it was disrespectful and tacky"), the fact that 100 or so local film folks were celebrating the production of their ambitious horror movie therebacked up Brendan's article, and reassured me that life goes on, especially at CHAC.

no it can't... it's becoming/going to become quite an annoyance I think.

Just add this to your theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('img_caption_shortcode', 'no_caption', 10, 3);
Hi Otto,

You should not use the CAPTIONS_OFF, as that post says. Read it closer. The captions will turn themselves back on at some future point when you upgrade if you do it that way.
I've added the no_caption function (which works, thanks) but this means that the align class disappears along with it.
Any ideas for keeping the align class with the image rather than the caption?
after applying this to the functions.php file, the caption is still inserted under the pictures
it worked now, if I add any caption, it won't appear under the photo...but 2 new problems, the alignment is screwed and the picture still doesn't have any alt tag
the function doesn't work anymore on WP 2.6.1 :(
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}'...
Could you please update it
Can anybody show me the best solutions without HACK WordPress code?
One line for 2.6.2 and up:
add_filter('disable_captions', create_function('$a','return true;'));
Regarding your last post here, where in the Functions.php file are we supposed to put it? I'm really not that familiar with php.
I tried just placing it somewhere and it didn't fix the captions. Oh, I'm running 2.6.3. Does that make a difference?
Thanks in advance,
Thx Otto...works perfect (so far..heheh)
@klugefest: Anywhere before the final ?>
I used the add_filter('disable_captions', create_function('$a','return true;')); in my theme function file and the captions do not show on the home page, but they still show on the single post page. How can I disable them on the single page also????
still no luck - my theme's functions.php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
'before_widget' => '

',
'after_widget' => '

',
'before_title' => '
',
'after_title' => '
',
add_filter('disable_captions', create_function('$a', 'return true;'));
I am still getting captions though - any help? version 2.8
actually let me clarify -- full size image has no caption - thumbnails do -- should these be disabled the same way?
The captions on gallery thumbnails can be hidden by CSS:
.gallery-caption { display:none; }

It simply doesn't work when editing my poll! :(
It sets it back to 1 week.
It simply doesn't work when editing my poll! :(
It sets it back to 1 week.
The "never" option has been removed, but the plugin hasn't been updated yet, sorry.
Why was this feature removed if I may ask?
It's only effective if the person trying to cheat can't change their IP address but because the vast majority of Internet users have dynamic IPs that address can and does change so the cheater can vote again.
For the same reason other people who might share the same address and want to vote at a later date will find their votes blocked no matter how long the delay between the first and second votes.
It was felt that limiting the expiration of IP blocks to one week was enough to annoy cheaters and discourage them from cheating. If your poll goes on for more than one week a cheater can only cheat once every 7 days. Unless your population size is very small that shouldn't skew results too much. With a paid upgrade you can check the IP address of each vote too.
Thank you for the info. Makes sense I guess.

Sometimes your dog will go in slow motion when meeting another dog on a walk. It will most likely stay this way for the rest of the walk.
Record rotation
When playing any record you can spin it clockwise and the needle will go towards the center and if you spin it counterclockwise the needle will go towards the edge. Note: While you are doing that, it makes a scratching noise and there is no music.

I prefer the reverse trade. Akamai always disappoints. Wish it were different.
Strongly disagree....look at the performance of AKAM stock after a sizable gap UP/DOWN. There always seems to be A LOT of follow through. I'm not saying that it going to 50 any time soon, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the mid 45s at a minimum. I guess though, I would have a tough time selling AAPL after the beating it has taken lately....then again, I sold my AAPL in the 290s thinking that I made a ton.....looking back....oh well, that's why people invented tissue paper. lol
yes, a succinct metaphor but i have adapted to only looking forward. The problem, as many of us know, is that AT&T can't be trusted for any reason. They will always be inept about rolling out big services and I was in the business, I know why. They have no choice and there is so much money now in entertainment services and most of the marketing and packaging are inept. ARe you impressed with cable? Sports? Movies? By allowing these low brows decide what "should" sell to our public, we have lost ground and soon we should be able to dial everything through one pipe, eliminating strata of bell services. Maybe AKAM can buy ATT&T which would be a good thing.

Install the uswsusp package. It compresses the data as it writes it out so the process goes faster. 5 minutes seems a bit extreme though, pointing to a more serious hardware problem.

MBDA Explores Export Markets for Minority-Owned Firms in Agribusiness
Created on June 30, 2014
Candace Shiver, Special Advisor to the National Director of the Minority Business Development Agency
I recently participated in the 2014 Agribusiness and Food World Forum in Cape Town, South Africa from June 17-19. The forum, hosted by the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association and the Corporate Council on Africa, brought together more than 500 business leaders, government officials, industry experts, students, and academia from more than 30 countries.
The forum's presentations and discussions emphasized the importance of U.S. private sector involvement and investment in the critical agriculture and agribusiness sectors of the region. In sub-Saharan Africa, the industries are projected to collectively grow from $313 billion today to $1 trillion by the year 2030.1 Contributing to Africa's food systems will help to build capacity in emerging markets, enhance food security, and promote U.S.–Africa relations through the imparting of best practices and technical and business knowledge between farmers and entrepreneurs of all sizes.
Next Generation Supply Chain Management
Created on April 2, 2014
This article was originally posted on the PNC Business Insights e-news section. Guest blog post by John Lloyd, MANTEC
Every company, large or small, is dependent upon the companies that make up its supply chain. The term "supply chain" encompasses all of the entities on which a business depends to meet its customer expectations. These range from first-, second- and third-tier material sources to service providers to logistics and transportation specialists. Today's forward-thinking companies have come to understand that their own performance hinges on the success of their supply chain relationships.
Historically, companies viewed their suppliers simply as the instruments to get them the parts they needed on time at the right price. Too often the customer/supplier relationship was very autocratic: Demands were made and it was expected that those demands would be met. In making sourcing decisions, companies traditionally did not look beyond a supplier's capability, price and delivery. But those who stop there are missing a valuable opportunity to view suppliers strategically as a resource to add customer value and create a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Suppliers can be a source of critical information to improve product design, quality, performance and cost.
National Director Alejandra Y. Castillo Discusses the Importance of Minority Entrepreneurship
Created on June 26, 2014
On June 24, Alejandra Y. Castillo, National Director for the U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), gave a keynote address at "The Next America: Making America Work," an event hosted by the National Journal in Washington DC. The event was designed to discuss how the public and private sectors can promote minority financial empowerment, workforce development and entrepreneurship.
Speaking to the more than 200 attendees, Castillo reminded them that MBDA was celebrating its 45th year anniversary, but that the Agency's goal was to think about the role it will play in helping minority-owned businesses during the next 45 years.
"Minority-owned businesses see opportunity where others do not," she said. "As we move forward, MBDA will continue helping our clients with both domestic and global business opportunities; we will continue helping them become procurement-ready and we will focus on helping them develop a succession plan for their future."
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), a minority business owner and member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, also gave keynote remarks at the event. Additionally, there were two expert panels that explored minority workforce development and financial empowerment, and how to create opportunities for minority small businesses. Al Jazeera America Host Ray Suarez, Atlantic Media Editorial Director Ronald Brownstein, National Journal Correspondent Janell Ross, and National Journal Correspondent and Director of the Next Economy Project Amy Sullivan moderated the discussions.
Franchise Anyone?
Created on June 23, 2014
This post originally appeared on the SBA.
Dale Van Eckhout, Senior Area Manager, Bismarck Area Office - North Dakota District Office
Many people associate fast food businesses with franchising. In fact, there are over 120 different types of franchise businesses and hundreds of thousands of franchises available in the United States, including automotive, cleaning & maintenance, health & fitness, and pet-related franchises - just to name a few.
Franchising is the practice of selling the right to use a firm's successful business model. This involves two major players which are the franchisor who sells the business model, and the franchisee owning a direct stake in the business. The franchisor's success depends on the success of the franchisees.
There are many benefits in buying a franchise including the following:
Saving time - the franchise company already has the business model in place so you can focus on running a successful business.
Company image and branding - the image and brand of the company is already established. Consumers are always more comfortable purchasing items from a familiar name or company they trust.
Training - the franchisor usually provides extensive training and support to the franchise owner.
4 Ways Understanding Data Can Inform Your Export Strategy
Created on June 23, 2014
This post originally appeared on the Tradeology, the ITA Blog
Kenneth R. Mouradian is the Director of the International Trade Administration's Orlando U.S. Export Assistance Center.
Numbers can be misleading, especially when they're used as a proxy for quality thought in decision making.
Now, let's be clear, here. When I say that numbers can be misleading, I'm assuming that you're looking at an X and a Y axis with data points and no text except that which is necessary to label the graph. Alternatively, you're looking at 10 numbers: five years and five corresponding dollar amounts or volumes. That's where a lot of U.S. exporters begin their market research; and, if that's where their research ends, that's a problem.
Potential exporters need to look behind the data points on the graph by asking some important questions:
What happened before the trend?
What happened after the trend?
What caused the trend?
Can you compete (i.e., price, quality, terms of sale, features, post-sales support)?
Here's a hypothetical: Imagine for a moment that you sell building products and the data indicate a 5-year growth trend in Timbuktoo for exactly what you sell. Assume, too, that the data are two years out of date and that you don't follow soccer. Little did you know that Timbuktoo hosted the World Cup two years ago and that, if you had more recent data, you'd see a drop in demand for building products once the stadium, exercise buildings, dormitories, and tourism infrastructure had been completed.

I'm not much of a purist about most things but Beatles' songs are an exception. The idea of a movie that used the songs of The Beatles to tell a story did not really appeal to me. That the songs were not the original recordings made the idea seem even worse. However after re-reading Roger Ebert's review of the movie "Across the Universe" I felt I had to at least give the film a shot. Jude (Jim Sturgess) has come to the United States to find his father and make his way as an artist. While here he meets Max Carrigon and his sister Lucy. From here the film follows Jude and Lucy through the turbulent sixties while capturing their up and down relationship. This happens to the beat of the accompanying background of Beatles tunes.

What would your life be like if every day you lived the same day over and over again? Perhaps a better question would be; what would it be like for those around you who continue to move ahead in time while you continue to live the same day over and over again? This is the problem faced by Lucy (Drew Barrymore), her family and her friends in their small town after an accident causes Lucy to forget everything that has happened to her since just before her accident. Her family and the town around her try to keep her from realizing that time has moved on.
One doesn't usually think of Sylvester Stallone in terms of comedy. OK, I'll admit some people think of all his acting as comedic, however most of us tend to think of Stallone as an action adventure star or as Rocky. Oscar is a departure from his normal role. This movie, loosely based on a French play of the same name by Claude Magnier, features Stallone as gangster boss Angelo Provolone trying to honor his father's wish that he would put aside his gangster ways and become an honest businessman.
There are times when everything in life seems just as clear as... mud. That's doubly true if you happen to spend lots of time scrounging the Mississippi River, which is exactly what the characters in the latest from Jeff Nichols (director of 2011's shamefully overlooked Take Shelter) do to get by. Centering on Ellis and Neckbone, two early-teens swamp rats who befriend a fugitive hiding out near their fishing spot,
In November a show which is perhaps the longest running television series in the history of Television celebrates 50 years. The show is BBC One's time traveling adventure Doctor Who. "Who" is more of a question than a name. Launched 1963 with William Hartnell as "The Doctor" a Time Lord from Galafrey who travels in time and space in a ship known as The T.A.R.D.I.S; a ship inexplicably larger on the inside than the outside and which looks exactly like a 1960's British police call box.
"Ah, these kids today!"
It's the collective sigh huffed by every adult generation in history: our youth have no respect, no direction, no values. Fortunately examples like Only the Young (Oscilloscope Laboratories), the debut feature-length documentary from Jason Tippet and Elizabeth Mims, remind us that today's teenagers are more than pop-cultured iPhone zombies—that perhaps they're even human, and not so hopeless, considering the world they're growing up in.
Only the Young follows skateboarders Garrison and Kevin as they navigate their high school years in a small town outside of Los Angeles. Thanks to the rapport the filmmakers earn with the boys, we're able to roll right along with them—to an abandoned house, to the skatepark, and into their homes and their social circle. We meet Skye, who as the boys' cohort, confidante, and sometimes-girlfriend becomes an integral character in the film herself.
I was once asked what I thought of Robert Redford. My response was immediate. I didn't like him and I thought he was a lousy actor trading on his good looks, though he was certainly a talented director. A short while later the discussion turned to our favorite movies when asked I began naming them: Sneakers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Last Castle, The Sting, The Great Waldo Pepper, The Natural and finally Jeremiah Johnson. There was a sudden pause in the discussion when the person I was talking to said, "Didn't you just say ...?"
Quite a while ago I posted about the movie "Melancholia," a film about the end of the world and how people reacted to the knowledge that not only their lives would end, but also the lives of everyone else on the planet. Recently I watched the film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World." As the title suggests this is another film about the end of the world. The premise is almost exactly the same; what effect would knowing you and your world will end in a matter of days have upon you. In fact these movies could almost be two episodes of the same movie. "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" stars Steve Carell as Dodge and Keira Knightly as Penny two individuals traveling together for very different reasons. Dodge is seeking his old high school sweetheart to spend his last days with. Penny just wants to be with her family.
Superman found Dead! I missed the headline blazing across newspapers all over the country. I'm not surprised, I was less than four years old in June of 1959 when George Reeves, the actor who starred as both Superman and reporter Clark Kent, was found in his bedroom, dead, apparently of a self inflicted gunshot wound. At four I wasn't interested in such things as Superman. At six and seven that changed and I was hooked on the television series "The Adventures of Superman." At some point after that age I found out that George Reeves, Superman, was dead. What I didn't know until much later in my life was that there were in fact many questions about the death of actor George Reeves. Enough questions to make one wonder did the actor really kill himself or was he killed?
The year is 1964. America and Russia are in the midst of a cold war and nuclear proliferation. The possibility of nuclear war is on almost everyone's mind. The questions are asked, "Could we start a war by accident?" and "Once in motion, could we stop such a war?" In 1964 two films were made that attempted to answer that question, in very different ways.

Absolutely delicious. I also used a package of cream cheese. There wasn't any left. Easy and delicious.
Yum! This is delicious! I reduced the recipe to make one serving because I was cooking for just me and had half a package of frozen spinach left. I used these measurements: 1/8 c parm, 1 T onion, 1 T cream, 2 tsp melted butter, pinch of each salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Used a ramekin and cooked 12 min. at 350 in the toaster oven. I'm always looking for good spinach recipes! Thank you for this one!

Unfortunately they can report. The acct number could be their own internal number.
If I had that, I'd fire up round after round of GW letters. I'd also call them every couple of week or so for good measure. I'd fax them too (back in the day I got their fax off their site). Per e-mail, try firstname.lastname@example.com. I think that's it.
ETA...if after a few dozen tries at GWing don't work, try something very unconventional. They have a history of deleting after receiving a PFD request at the address above. Someone is snoozing on the other end and will cue in deletion requests without receiving a payment. If I GWed to the point I ran out of ink and paper, I'd send them a PFD request for a buck and see if they might delete automatically.

40 CFR 86.312-79 - Dynamometer and engine equipment specifications.
(1) The dynamometer test stand and other instruments for measurement of power output shall be accurate to within 2 percent of point at all power settings above 10 percent of full-scale. Below 10 percent of full-scale the accuracy shall be within 5 percent of point. The dynamometer must be capable of performing the test cycle described in § 86,335 or § 86.336. Dynamometers used for testing gasoline-fueled engines must have sufficient motoring capability to meet the test requirements. A 60-tooth wheel in combination with a frequency counter shall be considered an absolute standard for engine speed.
(2) Dynamometer calibration weights. A minimum of 6 calibration weights for each range used are required. The weights must be equally spaced and traceable to within 0.5 percent of NBS weights. Laboratories located in foreign countries may certify calibration weights to local government bureau standards.
(b) Engine cooling. Means of engine cooling which will maintain the engine operating temperatures (e.g., intake air, oil, water, etc.) at approximately the same temperature as specified by the manufacturer shall be used. Auxiliary fan(s) may be used to maintain engine cooling during operation on the dynamometer.
(i) A chassis-type exhaust system including muffler(s) shall be used. The exhaust system must have a single tail pipe. For engines designed for a dual exhaust system, a standard or specially fabricated "Y" pipe may be used. The "Y" pipe may be located upstream of a single muffler or downstream of a single muffler or downstream of dual mufflers. The potential increase in backpressure due to the use of a single tail pipe instead of dual pipes may be compensated for by using larger than standard exhaust system components downstream of the "Y" pipe. For systems with the "Y" pipe upstream of the muffler, the backpressure at the exhaust manifold exit with the single exhaust system must be comparable to the standard dual exhaust system under the test conditions specified in § 86.335.
(ii) For all catalyst systems the distance from the exhaust manifold flange(s) to the catalyst shall be the same as in the vehicle configuration unless the manufacturer provides temperature data showing equivalent performance at another location.
(iii) For catalyst systems, the probe shall be located in the single exhaust pipe and from 2 to 10 feet downstream of the catalyst(s) and at least 2 feet downstream of the "Y" intersection of any "Y" pipe (if used).
(iv) For noncatalyst systems, the probe shall be located in the single exhaust pipe downstream of the muffler(s) and from 3 to 20 feet downstream from the exhaust manifold flange or turbocharger exit flange. The probe shall also be at least 2 feet downstream of the "Y" intersection of any "Y" pipe (if used).
(v) For all exhaust systems, the probe shall be located at least 24 inches from the end of the tail pipe. Additional exhaust pipe may be added to the tail pipe to meet the specification.
(2) When testing Diesel engines, a noninsulated exhaust system extending 15 ±5 feet from the exhaust manifold, or the crossover junction in the case of Vee engines, shall be used. The exhaust back pressure must be within 0.2 inch Hg. of the upper limit at maximum rated horsepower, as established by the engine manufacturer in his sales and service literature for vehicle application. A conventional automotive muffler of a size and type commonly used with the engine being tested shall be employed in the exhaust system during smoke emission testing. The terminal 2 feet of the exhaust pipe shall be a circular cross section and be free of elbows and bends. The end of the pipe shall be cut off squarely. The terminal 2 feet of the exhaust pipe shall have a nominal inside diameter in accordance with the engine being tested, as specified below:
|Maximum rated horsepower
|Exhaust pipe inside diameter (inches)
|Less than 101
|101 to 200
|201 to 300
|301 or more
