Brainteaser Tuesday: Guess the Game for February 5thWritten by: / / No Comments
Last week I challenged you to guess five titles that encompassed around fifteen years of gaming history. The only title that really stumped the community was Parasite Eve II which brandon october came closest to guessing.
The games featured in last Tuesday's challenge were:
- Game 1: Sky Destroyer (NES) – 1985
- Game 2: Parasite Eve II (PSone) – 2000
- Game 3: Fluid (PSone) – 1998
- Game 4: Vectorman (Mega Drive) – 1995
- Game 5: OverBlood (PSone) – 1997
Today's line-up incorporates five story-driven games which I sampled over a fifteen-year period. I only completed three of these titles as the other two games were either not mine or on a platform that I didn't have constant access to.
Here they are:
Game 1:
This title was one of the most disappointing entries in the series it forms part of, despite having one of the best plot premises for a game from its genre.
Game 2:
This hugely anticipated title from a now defunct studio seemingly failed to live up to fans' incredibly high expectations for it. When this game was released it had some of the most detailed and atmospheric environments around, as well as jaw-droppingly 'realistic' cut-scenes.
Game 3:
I downloaded the demo for this game from a website called Happy Puppy that was very popular at the time. Backgrounds and character models were starting to get a lot more detailed at this stage so it was a very exhilarating time to be a gamer!
Game 4:
This title has one of the most awkward sex scenes in videogame history. The worst part is that you have to press various buttons to move the scene along…
Game 5:
This title was the brainchild of a very famous person in the videogame industry. The game looked remarkably good for its time, despite its graphics leaning a little too heavily on depth-of-field blur and bloom lighting.
Can you guess all the games? Have you played any of them? Happy gaming and good luck.

The first part of the post shows up, then linkwithin (thinking the post is done) shows up, then the recipe is showing up after that. Is there any way to fix this so that the linkwithin thumbnails show up after the recipe and not right in the middle??

The Expansion of Electronic Signals Back into Acoustic Space-An Introduction to FSS
This paper discusses the fractal spatial system (FSS) loudspeaker technology which has adapted the quadratic residue diffuser technology first described by Manfred Schroeder in 1979. A passively generated wavelet function of nonphase expands the acoustic environment from information encoded naturally into the signal. FSS is compatible with all artificial encoders and has unique properties which, for a passive system, may well define the future of sound production.:

Shave your pubes and hold them in your hand. Get your mate to give you a blowjob and when you cum on her face throw the trimmed curlies onto your semen soaked partners face and she will be left with a striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.
My girlfriend looked very presidential after I gave her an Abraham Lincoln.
by Merc November 17, 2004
One of the greatest presidents ever. Fought for the concept that secession was unconstitutional (as it violated the concept of democracy--if the guy you voted for lost, you have to deal with it) and aided in the disestablishment of the institution of slavery. Though the Hartford Convention did consider secession, it was not the main focus of the agenda, and was political suicide for the Federalists. Moreover, limiting free speech during times of war is not something unique, as it has happened many times since Lincoln's day. It should also be noted, secession is mentioned nowhere in the Constitution as a right, it is mentioned in the Declaration of Independance, but that was not a legal document. Therefore he didn't deny anyone anything unusual.

Abraham Lincoln created peanut butter and wanted to give credit for it to a black person so the southerners would accept the blacks as their equals. However, before the plan could be put into action, John Wilkes Booth, who "despised legume racial harmony", got wind of the plan and shot Lincoln. 31 years later, the plan was revived by President Grover Cleveland. Cleveland heard of a young black botanist, Carver, who had invented over 300 uses for peanuts, but amazingly, "mashing them up and eating them wasn't one of them". Cleveland constructed an ingenious plan to allow Carver to receive credit by leaving a jar of peanut butter to an unknowing Carver, who received the credit for the invention. There is thought to be a Jar of Truth that has prove that Carver did not invent peanut butter but the Illuminati are dedicated to finding it and destroying it to keep the world from going back into racism.

It then tells app.addCanDir('path/to/Webware/MiscUtils') I seems strange that you have to add the directory "MiscUtils", which I expected "to be there" by default. Maybe a 'Cans' directive in Application.config would make the configuration easier (the default "Can" directory could be added there and not in the Application.py code: def initializeCans(self): """ @@ Overhaul by 0.4 """ import CanFactory self._canDirs.append("Cans") self._canFactory = CanFactory.CanFactory(self) > return {'ContentLocation':os.path.join(location,'Content'),} >The call to contextInitialize passes in the directory that you're in.

When I put Servlets in the Content directory, my classes (e.g. DocPage.py) in the Context-Directoy are not found?. ??? http://localhost/wpy/Context/ gives ("Context" is a Context added in Application.config) File "/var/www/Webware/WebKit/Context/Content/index.py", line 1, in ? from DocPage import DocPage ImportError: No module named DocPage When I leave out return {'ContentLocation':os.path.join(location,'Content'),} and put my Servlets in the Context directory everything works ok. In the last CVS version I have a strange problem though: When I call http://localhost/wpy/Context/ first and then http://localhost/wpy/Context/Test/ everything works, but calling http://localhost/wpy/Context/Test first (after restarting the AppServer) gives me an error. I call then http://localhost/wpy/Context/ again and after that http://localhost/wpy/Context/Test works!! This is weird! >Tom, it looked like you might be doing a PlugIn, not a Context. They're >different. It was my first approach before knowing about Cans and Contexts. :-) I put the Pool in the MiscUtils.DBPool namespace at starting time which I like, although your solution with Cans seems more natural. -- Tom Schwaller http://www.linux-community.de

A Bankroll To Fight A Behemoth; Rich Neighbors Open Wallets To Battle Trump's Project For Residential Skyscraper
By BLAINE HARDEN
Published: September 8, 1999
Visions of a very tall building are tormenting Alberto W. Vilar, whose name is not often in the papers and who likes it that way.
''My sense of proportion, my sense of esthetics, my sense of landscape for New York just said this is wrong!'' declared Mr. Vilar, an investment manager who runs a $5 billion high-tech fund and a philanthropist who recently gave more than $30 million to the Metropolitan Opera.
If it goes up as planned, the cause of Mr. Vilar's torment will be the tallest residential tower in the world. Rising now on First Avenue between East 47th and 48th Streets, it is the latest neck-wrenching, glass-skinned, marble-lobbied condominium confection of Donald J. Trump, the developer who loves to get his name in the papers and who says he takes particular pleasure in tormenting rich people like Mr. Vilar.
''Who the hell is Trump to go around changing the landscape of New York?'' asked Mr. Vilar, who has put up $100,000 for a campaign against the 72-story building, called Trump World Tower. In league with his East Side neighbors, many of whom are also enormously rich, Mr. Vilar vows that he has just begun to write checks. ''Whatever it costs, I am willing to fund it. I want to be able to say I had a sense of civic outrage and I contributed. I appreciate that I am wealthier than some other people.''
Another unpleasant thing about Trump World Tower: it would block Mr. Vilar's view of the Empire State Building as seen from the living room of his 30-room four-plex apartment. Once the tower is up, Mr. Vilar would have to retreat to a bedroom to see the Empire State Building. The obstructed view, though, is ''no big deal,'' Mr. Vilar said. ''To me it is a question of esthetic outrage.''
Mr. Trump, upon learning of Mr. Vilar's esthetic outrage and his troubled view, squirmed with delight.
''Rich people don't like losing their view -- that is pure and simple what this is all about,'' said Mr. Trump, who lives atop Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in a 53-room triplex with a 29-foot-high living room, a fountain and commanding views of Central Park and southern Manhattan. Apparently knowing something about the subject, he repeated his ''rich people'' argument at least 12 times in various ways during a one-hour interview last week.
Squabbling among people of means over private views and public space is perhaps Manhattan's longest-playing and highest-stakes sport. For better and for worse, it has sculptured the skyline of a city that has more tall buildings than any other place on earth. The very rules of the sport -- New York City zoning law -- have been written in response to sharp-elbowed disputes over tall buildings like the one that is swirling around Trump World Tower.
The city's first zoning law was prompted, in large measure, by a tall-building fight that uncannily foreshadowed the dispute over Mr. Trump's building on First Avenue. The principal player in that pre-World War I fight was a vainglorious developer, T. Coleman Du Pont, who, in a prescient imitation of Mr. Trump, boasted that his buildings were the biggest and best in the world.
When moneyed opponents of Mr. Du Pont's planned 39-story Equitable Building on lower Broadway offered him $2.5 million to cap construction at eight stories, he laughed them out of his office. Mr. Du Pont prevailed, but his hulking office building and his braggadocio speeded passage of the city's first zoning law in 1916.
Similarly, Mr. Trump has won approval from city agencies for his building, although opponents contend that the city misread its own complex zoning laws in approving such a tall building in a residential neighborhood. So far, he has put up two floors of it.
Mr. Trump now brags about how quickly he is selling super-expensive condos (one-bedrooms start at $800,000) and delightedly claims that of all his successful developments, this one is the most successful.
In April, the Giuliani administration proposed a major overhaul of zoning laws that would impose limits on the height of skyscrapers. The law, if passed, will not affect projects already approved, like Mr. Trump's. But if the law had been in effect when Mr. Trump proposed his new project, it would have been ruled illegal, said Joseph B. Rose, chairman of the city Planning Commission.
Trump World Tower, though, has not quite yet managed to slip past the gate. There is one last municipal obstacle, a hearing this month before the Board of Standards and Appeals, prompted by the building's opponents.
If Mr. Trump prevails there, as seems likely, opponents of the tower say they will go to court and spend whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop the building from rising to its planned 861 feet or, if need be, to lop off some of its top floors. They take comfort in a court ruling eight years ago that forced a developer who built too tall for zoning to rip the top 12 floors off an Upper East Side building.
The principal strategic problem for Mr. Trump's adversaries is that they showed up late for the fight. Mr. Trump obtained city approval of the tower without public hearings or environmental studies. He quietly bought air rights from nearby buildings in a way that allowed him to increase his tower's height without public approval. After a period of uncharacteristic quietude, Mr. Trump reverted to form, boasting about his cleverness and baiting his wealthy adversaries.

According to the statement Applegate's rep made to People, the couple was, "…surrounded by family in a private ceremony at their home in Los Angeles." The couple wore Neil Lane rings and Applegate wore a Maria Lucia Hohan dress.
Both halves of the couple have been previously married, although they have been dating one another since 2008. In fact, Applegate and LeNoble already had a child together back in 2011 and they have been engaged since Valentine's Day 2010, but they cited scheduling problems as the reason for their 3-year wait.
In January of last year, Applegate told Access Hollywood, "Of course (we will get married), but the schedule, the way that it is — it's just almost impossible. It really is. It's insane," she said at the time.
Now she admits that the couple even contemplated holding a simple ceremony at City Hall. Fortunately, in the end it seems their schedules have allowed time for a slightly more festive celebration of marital rites. Congrats, you two lovebirds! Cheers.

journalist Robbie Vincent's broadcasting career began as one of the pioneers
on BBC Radio London in 1973 hosting a phone-in show playing "devils advocate" with
the listener.
hosting a Radio London soul show on Saturday lunchtimes playing artistes
such as Evelyn 'Champagne' King & Crown Heights Affair. Robbie would invite
guest deejays, such as Chris Hill, Tom Holland, Froggy, Sean French etc. to
play their favourite three tunes that came in that week. The shows were
considered essential listening to the Capital's soul music fans.
In the early
80s, he launched the career of US jazz funk combo, Maze, in the UK, and was
one of the few radio presenters in the UK to have interviewed Marvin Gaye.
Robbie moved to
Radio 1 in 1983 to front the popular Saturday evening weekend 'Soul shows'
which were carried on FM. Later moving to Sunday nights, he presented here until 1989, playing Jazz-Funk
with artistes like Rick James, the Fatback band, Brass Construction, Funkadelic, Crusaders, Ronnie Laws and Eddie Henderson.
During the 1980's Robbie
Vincent was seen on British TV screens when he co-hosted BBC TV's 'Hospital
Watch' and 'Go for It'.

voted Independent radio personality of the year at the annual Variety
Club awards.
After a spell at Kiss FM, from Feb 1998 Robbie hosted the breakfast show
on Jazz FM. Robbie left Jazz FM

show for three hours on Jazz FM.
Following an illness
Robbie announced on the Jazz FM website in October 2010 that he had been
very poorly and following an operation was commencing a course of

After just running Yahoo!'s YSlow tool in my browser on my personal website, I noticed – or rather, actually though about it for the first time! – that the results include my favicon icon. (Although this seems a bit like a sort of "department-of-the-obvious" type of question, please bear with me!)
Now there is a lot of literature on the web regarding website performance: reducing HTTP requests, creating and optimising dedicated domains to serve static files, combining text files and even images files (in the from of sprites). However, there is very little out there that looks into how popular web browsers handle favicon files.
I am not looking for actual details on caching/static file serving/etc. What I would really like to know is: How do the "big five" browsers – Chrome/Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari – deal with the downloading of favicons?
For example: Are they downloaded before or after page load? Do they induce a performance hit on page download times?

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Cellular Dynamics International (CDI) licensed U.S.-issued patents related to stem cell differentiation and using heart cells in drug testing. The rights were obtained from Loren Field, Ph.D., and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The deal includes patents pending at the European Patent Office and allows CDI to sublicense to other companies and institutions.
The patent portfolio covers a cell purification strategy that reportedly enables greater than 90% purity of any type of cell. Under the licensed technology, pluripotent stem cells are engineered to include a selectable marker. As the stem cells begin to differentiate into various terminal cell types, the marker allows researchers to identify and select a particular cell type and produce a highly purified and functional cell population.
The license also covers the use of cardiomyocytes purified through this technology for drug testing. While cardiomyocytes will be the company's first commercial product, CDI points out that these new patents will allow it to further existing programs for developing multiple cell types into highly purified populations.
CDI is using the Field technology in conjunction with the patents it has licensed from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation to create a pipeline that mass produces cells for large-scale drug screening campaigns at pharmaceutical companies and for regenerative medicine applications.

The Buffalo Stampede cross country meet at the West Texas A&M Horse Center is an annual tuneup for the state meet.
The Borger and Happy girls' teams and the Perryton and Hereford boys' teams found their racing engines well-tuned for a bid to compete at the state meet at Round Rock in November.
Seniors Jeremy Blakely and Ruby Crox of Hereford won the individual titles, and Blakely led his team to an easy victory in the 4A-5A division.
The Amarillo High girls edged Hereford for the large-school team title despite missing two key runners who were taking the SAT test. The win left veteran coach Bobby Boswell still unsure of his top seven runners for district.
Perryton defeated Canyon for the class 1A-3A boys' title despite Canyon sophomore Brett Shepherd's individual victory.
Meagan Cartrite of class 1A Sunray won the individual title in the small-school division, but 3A Borger packed all five runners within 30 seconds of each other to defeat second-place Happy for the team title.
Hereford was led by Blakely and Jesus Huerta in second, but coach Ray Baca got a lift from an unexpected place.
"Viviano Alejandro is improving every day. He moved from number 4 to 6 for us. He's really going to help us," Baca said.
The Whitefaces have high hopes for winning district and have relied on the leadership of Blakely and Huerta, who have run together all season.
"Jesus and I run together and we practice that way," Blakely said. "We wanted to get through the first mile together and help each other. We didn't want to lead all the way in the wind."
Blakely and Huerta passed Tascosa's Jake Vernon in the first mile and ran the second mile faster. Blakely, who finished 11th at last year's regional, won his first individual Buffalo Stampede title.
Ruby Crox also won her first Stampede in a quick time of 12:07.
"I don't think anyone has ever broken 12 minutes on this course since we changed it four years ago," West Texas A&M cross country coach Eric Lathrop said.
"This was the best she's run this year," Baca said.
Crox won by 22 seconds over Amarillo High's Bridget Garza, who led a 2-3-4-5 AHS finish that also included Megan Schoch, Kayleen Hommel and Courtney Slaughter.
Perryton won despite missing one of its top runners because of ineligibility.
"I think we're one of the top five or six teams in the state," coach Allan Herbert said. "We raced the top teams at Round Rock last week. You can't count Canyon out, though. They were missing two runners (for band contest) today."
Herbert was pleased with his runners."We ran well. The wind wasn't a factor. We run in this wind everyday."
Shepherd won in 17:13 but wasn't pleased with his time.
"I was faster last year. I was in the 16s. We ran well as a team, though," Shepherd said.
The Borger girls won for the seventh consecutive time this year, and coach Leslie Young was pleased with her team's progress.
"We've gotten better every meet. We were within 30 seconds of each other (No. 1 through No. 5), and that's what we'll need (to qualify for state)," Young said.
Borger was led by freshman Angela Pickett in sixth place but was able to put its fifth runner, Jamie Slayraugh, in 21st overall in the 189-runner field to easily secure the team victory with 66 points to Happy's 142 and Canyon's 149 points.
Happy also moved forward in the quest for its second-ever state meet appearance by finishing second overall and first among the field of strong 1A schools.
Sunray, which has been ranked among the top 10 statewide throughout the season, finished fourth with 168 points.
Brooke Shepherd, the eighth-grade sister of 3A champion Brett Shepherd, won the girls' junior varsity race in 12:24. Shepherd, representing Canyon Junior High, recorded the second-fastest time of the day, only 12 seconds behind Crox.

I agree I thought Agger coming back would be the bonus that we needed, however unless you play him at full back or midfeild there is not a place for him yet.We need to put out a settled team, I am sure that is one of then reasons for the great start this year.
Agree with everyone on this board. I think it will be a huge mistake if we let Agger go. Decent central defenders are hard to come by. In this modern game I don't believe we can have 2 traditional 'no nonesense' defenders. Skrtel and Carra have done well, but alas the time will come when Carra will have to go (can't believe I just said that!) And when that time comes I think we will be better equipped as an attacking force with someone at centreback who is comfortable / creative / able to distribute the ball.Skrtel would be the perfect foil for Agger as the traditional no-nonsense defender. I think its very similar to the Ferdinand / Vidic partnership at Man U. We can't just have someone who can hoof the ball from centre back, we need someone who can start off play and move forward with confidence.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - No. 9 Texas A&M loves having a break this week.
The Aggies needed some time to rest and regroup before diving back into SEC play.
The week off seems like a luxury to this team after it played 12 straight games last year without an open week after its opener was postponed by weather to what would have been an open date.
This is the first of two open weeks for the Aggies, who are also off on Nov. 16 - a week before a trip to No. 10 LSU.
The Aggies are off to a 4-1 start with their only loss coming to top-ranked Alabama. They'll return to SEC play next week with a trip to Ole Miss.

FA composition determines the quality of vegetable oil. Soybean breeders have generated and used mutations in FA genes to develop altered FA profiles in the seed. However, the expression of the alleles and the relative activity of the gene products are often dependent on the environment, and these facts have hampered the breeding efforts. To investigate the environmental effect on FA composition of soybean seed oil in specific mutant material developed at the University of Guelph, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was developed from a cross between a low palmitate (16∶0) line and a high-stearate (18∶0) parent. The RIL population was field-tested across three environments over 2 yr. A combined ANOVA for FA composition was conducted to determine the year and location effects on the expression of FA alleles in this material. The results indicated that linolenic (18∶3) level was most vulnerable to the environmental changes. Year effects accounted for a greater amount of variance than location effects for 16∶0, 18∶0, and 18∶1, whereas location effects were more important than year effects for the relative amounts of 18∶2 and 18∶3. Genotype × environment (year, location) interaction effects were significant for the relative amounts of all five FA according to the combined ANOVA. Our results indicated that the extreme minimum daily temperatures during September seed fill period, rather than the means or the maximum temperature, may be responsible for the ratio of saturated vs. unsaturated FA in soybean oil.

Harry Shum Jr. in James Jeans
Harry Shum Jr's look for his appearance at Entertainment Weekly's Comic Con party is perfect! He wore a pair of James Jeans Travis 5-Pocket straight leg jeans in Army Brown with a plaid shirt and blazer. I think that everything goes together so well and he doesn't look like he's trying too hard with this outfit.
Harry has a lot to smile about, as producers announced that they were making his Glee character, Mike, a regular for the third season. You can buy Harry's James jeans online for $180.
Ashley Greene in James Jeans
Ashley Greene stopped and posed for some photos at the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con Party in San Diego, California. She wore a pair of the James Twiggy Leggings in Kohl. These are an amazing fit on Ashley. Actually Ashley's body is looking quite amazing itself. Those workouts are really doing her good.
Another thing that I love about these jeans is the wash. I love the faded blue/black wash of them. They are a wash that you are unsure about what to pair with them, but then you wear them with everything. It's kind of a confusing description of them. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $141.

Hallo everyone,
I am fighting for a couple of hours with a problem that seemed to be very easy.
I just want to embed a YouTube-Video on my wordpress-site 3.5.2(theme is "responsive"). The Problem is that the Video is shown as full-screen all the time.
I tried different things:
[embed width=200]video-url[/embed]
<iframe name="yourframe" src="video-url" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="200"
I found some tips on the Internet to change settings in the functions.php (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17033662/changing-the-default-wordpress-youtube-embeded-video-dimensions) but this also did not work.
Could anyone help?
Thanks and regards,

Many opponents yielded the security issue to Netanyahu and instead campaigned on economic concerns, such as the high cost of living and the government's much-maligned practice of giving generous handouts and draft exemptions to the ultra-Orthodox Jews.
While Israel's economy has remained on solid footing, Netanyahu's government has run up a huge deficit that could force steep budget cuts in coming months.
Only one major contender, former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, campaigned on a platform centered on the need for peace with Palestinians.
Livni implored voters to think about the "big decisions" at hand.
"The vote I have cast includes the hopes of all the people who don't want four more years of Netanyahu and this government," she said.
In the run-up to the election, opinion polls universally forecast Netanyahu's Likud-Yisrael Beitenu alliance emerging as the largest single bloc, controlling roughly one-quarter of parliament's 120 seats and in a strong position to form a majority coalition.
Should the right-wing and religious parties somehow fail to muster a majority, there will be a mad scramble on the center-left to try to form a coalition on their own.
Under that scenario, Labor Party leader Shelly Yachimovich could end up as prime minister. The former radio journalist who once backed Israel's Communist party campaigned on a promise to narrow the gap between rich and poor and has said she will not join a Netanyahu government.
In all, 32 parties were running. Israel has historically had multiparty governments because no party has ever won an outright majority in the country's 64-year history. Polls close at 10 p.m. local time (3 p.m. ET, 2000 GMT), with preliminary results to be released shortly after that.
In a sign of the times, many Israelis advertised their voting choice by photographing their ballot slips and uploading them to Facebook.
Netanyahu has won praise at home for drawing the world's attention to Iran's suspect nuclear program and for keeping the economy on solid ground at a time of global turmoil.
But internationally, he has repeatedly clashed with allies over his handling of the peace process. Peace talks with the Palestinians have remained deadlocked throughout his term, in large part because of his continued construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
A shift by Netanyahu away from his tough line toward the Palestinians appears unlikely. Netanyahu himself has only grudgingly voiced conditional support for a Palestinian state, and his own party is now dominated by hard-liners who oppose even this.
Likud primaries robbed the party of its most moderate figures, and up to one-sixth of the incoming legislature is expected to be settlers who advocate holding on to captured land the Palestinians want for a future state. That could translate into a more hawkish government.
A likely coalition partner, Naftali Bennett of the surging Jewish Home Party, has even called for annexing large parts of the West Bank, the core of any future Palestinian state.
Motti Saban, a 25-year-old student in Jerusalem, said he would vote for Jewish Home.
"We are right-wing and we want to see a parliament that is more right-wing than now," Saban said. "Social issues affect us all, but I won't give up Jerusalem. That's more important," Saban said.

- If Pfizer (PFE) is successful in its plan to acquire AstraZeneca (AZN) and redomicile in the U.K., it will join a growing list of other U.S. firms who have executed similar transactions in order to lower their tax bills.
- Members of Congress say that the moves are symptomatic of the need to revamp the U.S. tax code.
- The U.K. corporate tax rate is 21% compared to the top U.S. rate of 35%. American firms must also pay taxes when they repatriate foreign profits after receiving credits for foreign taxes. This is why the ex-U.S. corporate cash horde is so large.

AbstractWe apply the theory of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) to the design of guidance algorithms for controlling the motion of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board sensors for tracking multiple ground targets. While POMDPs are intractable to optimize exactly, principled approximation methods can be devised based on Bellman's principle. We introduce a new approximation method called nominal belief-state optimization (NBO). We show that NBO, combined with other application-specific approximations and techniques within the POMDP framework, produces a practical design that coordinates the UAVs to achieve good long-term mean-squared-error tracking performance in the presence of occlusions and dynamic constraints. Although the POMDP/NBO combination exemplifies increased tracking performance, this performance gain can be hindered by computational complexity. Implementing computationally intense subroutines intrinsic to the POMDP/NBO approach in highly parallel graphics processing units (GPUs) will allow the realization of our approach on complex systems in near real time. BENEFIT: Improved UAV surveillance technique, Optimal sensor resource management, High Performance GPU library

Hi, I'm in serious trouble. I'm an intern at a company and i'm setting up a wordpress locally on my computer using MAMP. No one here is IT experts.
Everything was fine untill i was editing a footer page for the theme via wordpress editor. I cut out a piece of code and updated. then everything went blank. Then I went backwards to put the piece of code back in place and updated, but it was too late.
Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

I've recently started getting the following warning:
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'feed_links_extra' was given in /home/rggwebd1/public_html/tgc/news/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339
I thought it was because I edited the search bar (just removed the label), but upon seeing the 'feed_links_extra' it obviously seems to be a problem with the RSS feed links.
These had not been working since I installed WP, but this is the first time that error has come up.
What should I do? Is there an option in the dashboard to "restore" the system?

Even with a support tool, setting up a Web services security (WS-Security) configuration can be difficult for people who are not familiar with WS-Security. Some of the reasons are that the WS-Security is a very rich specification with many options and often the processing is complicated. This paper introduces an application programming model (WSSAPI) to simplify the programming experience for end users. It was designed by looking at WS-Security processing from an abstract level. Also, it is designed to consider correctness, efficiency, usability, flexibility, portability, and extensibility. End users just follow the six-step programming model provided in WSSAPI to configure WS-Security. The comparison of WSSAPI to others, like WSS4J, WSE, and JSR-105 shows that it is much easier for end users to use WSSAPI. In this paper, existing APIs for WS-Security are reviewed and compared with WSSAPI to evaluate the ease of use and utility.

I'm trying to push my changes to a repo on my NAS. It's failing in a way I don't understand.
The documentation states that by default
push works only with fast-forward updates. Fair enough. So I do a
git pull (my remote is called
D:\RoboCup\Dev\TinMan>git pull rubix master From ssh://rubix/volume1/git/TinMan * branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date.
All looks well. Let's try pushing...
D:\RoboCup\Dev\TinMan>git push rubix master To ssh://dnoakes@rubix/volume1/git/TinMan ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://dnoakes@rubix/volume1/git/TinMan' To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.
I've read through the documentation on
git push but at this point I can't understand why I'm seeing this problem.
Here is some other contextual info:
D:\RoboCup\Dev\TinMan>git --version git version 22.214.171.124.msysgit.0 D:\RoboCup\Dev\TinMan>git branch * (no branch) master
That last line looks suspect. How can I not be on any branch? Note too that I have some untracked files and modifieds (unstaged) changes too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) - A Coral Springs police officer whose
dog died after he accidentally left it in his police car has been
suspended for three days without pay.
The officer, who was not identified because he works undercover,
says he thought he had taken the dog to the kennel on Aug 27. When
he went to get Hieke, a 9-year-old narcotics dog, from the kennel
and she wasn't there he found her dead in the car.
Authorities say she was in the car for about four hours. The
state attorney's office is not prosecuting.

If you want a lotion, soap or lip balm free of chemicals and synthetics, you'd better read the fine print. The Agriculture Department is taking its round, green "USDA Organic" label off personal care products and cosmetics.
When it created the seal in 2002, the primary intent was to certify the organic claims made by food producers, such as that meat came from animals raised without antibiotics and not confined indoors, or that vegetables were grown without pesticides.
But the department also opened the door to making a wide range of other products eligible for the label: cosmetics and personal care items, pet food, dietary supplements, textiles like cotton T-shirts and fish.
"The feeling was, if your product was composed of agricultural ingredients, and you thought you could get certified, you were welcome to try," said Barbara Robinson, head of the department's National Organic Program.
Three years later, the department decided it had gone too far. In April, it began telling companies their cosmetics and other personal care products can't be government-certified as organic, after all.
Fish and pet food are also off the table, but only for now. The department is creating task forces to make rules for certifying them. Still being decided is whether dietary supplements can use the seal.
"As time went by, and legal counsel in the department and senior policy officials took a closer look, they determined that wouldn't really stand up in a court of law," Robinson said.
That's bad news to Nancy Piersel of Finland, Minn. She looks for the organic seal because she has a disorder called multiple chemical sensitivity, which causes allergy-like symptoms when she's exposed to many substances.
The seal "gave me more confidence to try that product," said Piersel, 48. She makes her own lip gloss and, before the seal became available, would call companies to find out more about ingredients before buying something new.
"I have to be very careful about what I use, because my skin reacts to a lot of things. I get rashes and burning, itching — the same kind of thing you'd get if you had a bad skin reaction to any product," Piersel said. "Now that I won't have those labels, I'll have to do more digging."

Diesel Jeans
Celebs in Denim: Brian Austin Green in Diesel jeans
Actor Brian Austin Green was spotted looking hot at the Fox All Stars Party in July wearing a pair of Diesel jeans. Brian is best know for his role as David on the show 90210 (did you know they are coming out with a 90210 remake?!), and more recently for his role in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
More markdowns at Diesel, plus new arrivals!
We know that over at HonestForum, one of the most popular sections on the forum is the Diesel section – so we had to post this! New arrivals over at Diesel.com – plus new markdowns on sale items! And Diesel rarely has sales, so check it out!
Pete Wentz is the next celeb Fashion Designer?!
I feel like the last to know on this one – but in case I'm not – did you know that Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz, aka Diesel posterboy, now has a fashion line out called Clandestine Industries? And is it just me, or does it sort of resemble Diesel if they were to come out with a Junior's line? Hmmm.
I can't believe Nordstrom is actually carrying this line…. it includes t-shirts, hoodies and denim, which is mostly the kind of outfit Wentz is spotted in when he's out, only we usually see him in Diesel jeans himself.
Is it just me or are you sick of celebs who think they know fashion?
Diesel Jeans up to 50% off sale!
It's super rare that Diesel has a sale so we had to share the news! Can't wait! I hope my Cherocks and Louvely's that are on my "to-buy" list will be on sale!

Poet encourages MLK students to dream big
Published: Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 15, 2006 at 11:00 p.m.
Just because he was speaking to fourth-graders, Amiri Baraka didnt see a reason to soften his famously inflammatory tone.
The poet, playwright, music critic and activist visited Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School Friday and started his short address by asking the 150 students if they knew who their schools namesake was.
Fewer than half of the students raised their hands, which clearly shocked the visitor.
That would be pitiful if you came out of this school and didnt know who Martin Luther King Jr. was," Baraka said.
He launched into a brief history lesson, explaining that his and many of their forefathers came to America as slaves, and that King was a hero, someone to remind them how great they could be.
You could not go in restrooms; you could not go in train stations," he said. There was always a place marked 'colored."
Baraka then performed from his work Wise, Whys, Yz (Africa Section)," with drumming accompaniment on djembe by musician Tahz Walker, a work depicting the slave trade, such as at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean theres a railroad made of human bones."
Baraka then asked the students what they want to be football players, lawyers, nurses, some said and urged them to begin education toward that goal now.
Part poetry and part music, Barakas work seemed to catch the childrens attention mostly for its rhythms, which was just fine by Rich Hamilton, an organizer for Punch Writers Project, a graduate student organization at the University of Alabama, which brought Baraka to town for a reading Thursday.
Taking the stage after Baraka spoke, Hamilton led a musical improvisation with five students onstage, encouraging them to dance, chant and otherwise feel the groove from Walkers banjo. Most of the students knew the instrument was originally from Africa.
We are a people who come from the heat and the sound," Hamilton said.
He stressed to the children to be aware that what comes out of your mouth has vibrations, and it goes out into the world."
That ethos is in line with the creative writing program some UA undergrads have been working on with MLK students for the past year.
Most of these kids do badly in reading and writing and have very poor test scores," said Nirmala Erevelles, an associate professor of educational leadership, policy and technology studies at UA.
In the class, the students write essays, poetry and other contributions for a newsletter.
It strengthens their ability to express themselves, and to write and think creatively," said Tiffany Mosley, a senior in UAs New College whos been leading the program.
Baraka urged one aspiring poet to study Langston Hughes and Margaret Walker, and a would-be R&B singer to learn the work of Aretha Franklin.
Do you know what a relay race is?" he asked. When we get too old to do what were doing, were going to pass the stick to you."
Lauded for his writing, Baraka has also drawn controversy for much of his adult life. After joining the United States Air Force in 1954, he was dishonorably discharged for violation of his oath of duty," possibly because higher-ups discovered his pro-communist writings.
He moved to Greenwich Village and immersed himself in the beat poetry movement, but later broke with them after the killing of Malcolm X. In 1967, he changed his name from LeRoi Jones to the Arabic name Imamu Amiri Baraka, and then just Amiri Baraka.
Hes written jazz criticism and plays as well as poetry and essays, and studied philosophy and religious studies at Rutgers, Columbia and Howard universities without obtaining a degree.

The gain shows the housing recovery is strengthening ahead of the all-important spring buying season.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index climbed 8.1 percent compared with January 2012. That is up from a 6.8 annual gain in December. Prices rose in all 20 cities.
Eight markets -- including Miami -- posted double-digit increases, led by a 23.2 percent gain in Phoenix. Prices rose 17.5 percent in San Francisco and 15.3 percent in Las Vegas, one of the nation's hardest hit markets during the crisis.
Prices rose in 11 of 20 cities on a month-over-month basis. The monthly numbers are not seasonally adjusted and reflect the slower winter buying period.
Southwest Florida is not included in the Case-Shiller measure, but other data from Florida Realtors boards has shown a similar pattern here.
In the territory covered by the Sarasota Association of Realtors, the median sales price of a single-family home during February was $184,500 last month, up $17,000, or 10 percent, over the year.
Manatee County rose $23,000, or 14.6 percent, to $180,000, and Charlotte County increased $22,100, or 23 percent, to $116,000.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average. The January figures are the latest available.
Home prices nationwide are still 29 percent below their peak reached at the height of the housing bubble in August 2006. They are only back to where they were in August 2003.
Still, steady price increases should help make the housing recovery sustainable and add to economic growth. Higher home prices encourage more people to buy before prices rise further.
"Over time, persistently rising house prices also boost household wealth, make lenders more willing to lend because the asset they're underwriting is appreciating, and ease pressure on local government budgets that get revenue from property taxes," Jonathan Basile, director of economics at Credit Suisse, wrote in a research note.
Other recent reports have shown a strengthening recovery in housing, helped by near-record-low mortgage rates. Construction of single-family homes rose in February at the fastest pace in 4-1/2 years. Sales of previously owned homes rose last month to their fastest pace in more than three years.
More Americans are putting their houses on the market, suggesting they believe the housing market will continue to strengthen.
The number of available homes for sale rose 10 percent last month, the first monthly gain since April. Even with the gain, the inventory of homes for sale was still 19 percent below a year ago.
Investment in housing, including home construction, contributed to the nation's economic growth last year for the first time since 2005; from 2006 through 2011, a drop in housing investment dragged economic growth down.
