So why wouldn't one short the hell out of this stock with Sergei, Schmidt selling shares quicker than I can buy them? Seems like maybe they know this position has peaked and is heading down the way of Apple. If they thought it would go up they, being the greedy kind, would stand pat.
ya think? These guys just sold over 72% of all their shares...sergei is about completely out and Schmidt down to his last 185,000 shares. They sold billions this last 6 months. They did good. They have rotated out. Sold around $800. Besides taxes, wonder where this money went? Isn't it amazing how this works? All that money to a few, all coming from millions. Mutual funds, Institutions, individual IRAs, whatever. All set to lose except those two.
Wonder why more people don't ask.........Why don't you give us shareholders some of that money guys? they call it dividends. Amazing. Short the daylights out of this stock. Or buy put options...
Yes...thinking about put options for sure. I think the big boys will begin bailing soon. Doesn't bode well for the retail investor with shares in their 401K. It is definitly tanking and Sergei and Schmidt are at the top of the pile selling every chance they get. If they don't hold the stock why should anyone?

Discussion: Everybody fill in the blank............$$$
The old saying "to whom much is given, much is expected" comes to mind. There are a lot of near term things I would do to make life easier on myself, family and friends but it would be a burden to figure out how to handle that amount of wealth out of nowhere. One of the main concerns would be for the safety of immediate family. Someone I worked with many years ago won a about $15 million and had people showing up at his house and following him asking for money and sometimes demanding money. You'd have to be very careful about things once people knew who won. That part would be pretty scary.
After you take care of immediate needs, it would be hard to decide who you would want to help. Anyway, it's worth a few bucks to dream for a few minutes each day.

Discussion: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RULING WMC 50-Major Matter
With respect to this whole discussion, does anyone think it is a pretty ridiculous process for people to fly across the country to attend a meeting in order to discuss a rule change? I laugh every time staff posts that. Here's the conversation at home.
Hey hun...I know you're not very excited about me being gone a lot of weekends and the money we put towards softball but I just wanted to let you know that I've got one more trip this year. It'll just cost about $600 so we can discuss possible rule changes...are you cool with that?
In all seriousness, that's not a process that will ever get you any kind of consensus on rule changes that SSUSA members think are needed. Since I hate complaints without a solution, let people suggest rule changes via email and only include comments from registered SSUSA members from their registered SSUSA email addresses. Pick the top 5 items and put rule changes out to a vote using a similar process. Or let each registered team have 1 vote and only votes from registered team managers count. Just throwing it out for discussion and probably should have started a new thread but this thread is already all over the board.

Thanks for the info Alan. Do they feel more solidly built than the Boombah turf shoes in your opinion? I like the Boombahs but they fall apart quickly on me typically. I have been looking for something as comfortable as those that have some durability.

Discussion: SCREENS IN TOURNAMENTS
If you use a screen, the pitcher should not be allowed to field a ground ball (could still be allowed to cover bases for force outs though). You can't have a 5 foot area that you can't hit to and then also allow a pitcher to cover extra area. That doesn't make sense. I personally don't like using them but I understand the concern.

We had a ball bounce off of our outfielders glove while running towards the fence which catapulted it about 12 feet out of the part for a game ending, walk off, 4 base error last year in a tourney. I hadn't seen a game end like that one before.

Discussion: First time for everything
Bruce: If I recall, there was a fight in the 40s division in Vegas somewhat because of the 6.16 rule. If I recall correctly, the pitcher of one team did not think it was safe to pitch because of the sun in his face, the officials would not suspend the game and then the 2 teams had words which ended in fights and suspensions. I've never seen 6.16 used anywhere though. It seems like danger to the pitcher would be a good thing to call. You should be able to play through most wind conditions.
Before everyone rails on me. I am playing senior ball so I'm old and my memory of the events last year may not be correct so take it easy on me if I'm wrong.

Discussion: Shadow Rock & Hollywood Field Conditions
Dave: You seem to have a knack for categorizing comments/observations as complaints. If you think any of the observations are incorrect, please add your comments. Instead of commenting on 2 threads, I would add that if the outfields at BLD have not received water due to lack of rain and/or watering, then that would seem to infer that the observations are valid.
Here is another observation. Be careful what you ask for if you want to play at BLD and play the outfield. It is quite tricky because each of the fields have different configurations so you have to play each field differently and understand how the ball will travel off the fences. We wasted a lot of energy running around the first year we played there because we were not familiar with those details. Once you gain that experience, you have a good understanding of how/where you should play. When you play on fairly standard fields all year with symmetrical set ups, it takes some adapting to.

First we had the superhumans, now we have the superstars. In the stadium on Thursday night 80,000 people were chanting "Peacock!", while at home an unprecedented 6.4 million people tuned into watch Dave Weir and Jonnie Peacock make history – two athletes whom very few of the general public would have heard of before these Games. That figure is almost double the number that watched Ellie Simmonds – arguably Britain's most recognisable Paralympian going into the Games – which just goes to show how far the Paralympics have come in a fortnight.
A lot of my colleagues around the office have remarked that they do not even notice the disability now. When the athletes lined up in the blocks for the 100m, the thought that "These guys have no legs" occupied only a small percentage of the space in their heads, while mostly they just thought, "Wow this is an incredibly competitive lineup." And it was. Pretty much every athlete on that startline had an impressive accolade to their name: world champion, world record-holder, Paralympic champion, Pan American games champion. And unlike in the Olympics when we were quite certain that Usain Bolt had things sewn up, there were four or five names who could have taken the Paralympic sprint title. For the first time those sorts of debates were dominating discussions at the office watercooler, while online those on Twitter dedicatedly followed all of the action.
With the nation so thoroughly, genuinely, captivated by the sport – the public scrambling to get tickets for sell-out events, a world away from the bussed-in schoolchildren and volunteers who made up much of the crowds at the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008 – what does the future for disabled sport look like? Will the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award be made up of an equal split of Olympians and Paralympians? Come the end of the year will the public be debating the merits of multi-medallists Sir Chris Hoy versus Dave Weir, like for like? For the first time we will be able to have that debate legitimately because people across the country will know exactly what both athletes have done.
It will only be logical for Peacock's name to appear alongside Mo Farah's and Jessica Ennis's. It's been a long time since we had a Briton win the 100m and the public have gone nuts for him, he's got to be a contender. Just 19-years-old, Jonnie is a really adorable bloke. He is so modest because he is not used to this sort of attention and it has not gone to his head.
The shortlist is compiled by sports editors – who last year controversially failed to list a woman in their top 10 – but even the more traditional contributors will surely be moved by the swell of public opinion and forced to include a substantial number of Paralympians in their picks. Could a Paralympian even win the title? Just imagine. In my opinion they should do because the purpose of these Games from the outset was all about inspiring a generation, and the Paralympics seem to have met that target in a far more powerful and far-reaching way than the Olympics.
What will the lasting legacy be for these Games? How will they change our perceptions of disability? Will disabled celebrities become the norm? Wheelies causing chaos on chatshows, or filling the pages of celebrity gossip magazines? Hannah Cockroft has been voted FHM's sexiest Paralympian – will disabled people now feature in the world's 100 hottest lists? If they would do an issue with Kelly Cartwright, that is one magazine I would be straight down to the shops for.
For myself, a disabled person, it is all quite difficult to get my head around. In the early days, following my accident, a trip to Stoke Mandeville to watch wheelchair racing always meant looking at empty stands. There might be a few volunteers, friends and family, perhaps some schoolchildren. From that sparse interest to this is simply incredible. We've captured a load of people, whetted their appetite and seen that they want more.
It will be important for television to continue to broadcast disabled sport to help it grow. That is where the next challenge lies – for disabled sport to become parallel with able bodied sport. That is the legacy we so crave.

Sperry Top-Sider- The Thirty Second Decision
by Greg Nicoll on 9 Jun 2012
Sperry Top-Sider President Craig Reingold, Olympian Sally Barkow, US Sailing Executive Director Jack Gierhart and Michele Pytko Sperry Top-Sider Director of Performance Marketing In model room of the New York Yacht Club - Sperry Top-Sider: The Thirty Second Decision Greg Nicoll
When the opportunity to become the title sponsor to the US Sailing Team was presented to Sperry Top-Sider, Michele Pytko Director of Performance Marketing for Sperry, in her opening remarks at the official celebration of this partnership at the New York Yacht Club, said the collective decision to make this happen took about 30 seconds.
The 30 second decision was re-enforced by Craig Reingold, President of Sperry Top-Sider who addressed the media, guests and US Sailing Team members attending the celebration. He also added that Sperry's sponsorship of the US Sailing Team 'is the milestone, a monumental event in the 75 year history of the Sperry Top-Sider brand.'
After 20 years of their sponsor relationship, which he referred to as 'dating', Craig sees that being the title sponsorship is the coming together of two great brands, Sperry and US Sailing, both of whom share a common vision - to build the sport of sailing. He also noted the growth the US Team has experienced especially over the past four years, and how strong they are heading into Weymouth for the Olympic Games, where they are expecting some sensational results.
Executive Director of US Sailing Jack Giehart sees the Sperry Top-Sider sponsorship of US Sailing as an 'organic partnership' and with shared values we can take the team 'to the next level.
'This sponsorship will provide great assistance with coaching and transportation so our sailors can focus on what they need to do to improve.'
It was fitting to celebrate this sponsorship in the famed and historic model room at NYYC.
Jack explained that Paul Sperry introduced his first sailing shoe in 1935 and that the US Sailing Team won its first Olympic sailing medal in 1932 and there lies the long history between these two brands in the sport of sailing. He also praised Sperry's commitment to the sport of sailing through their work with youth programs, sponsorship of major regattas and their involvement with the entire sport of sailing.
Representing the US Sailing Team at the celebration was Olympian Sally Barkow. Sally praised the Sperry commitment to the US Sailing Team and the close relationship they have with sailors. As a competitor at the highest level, Sally spends approximately 250 days a year on the water training and competing, and knows the value of having the best equipment. She acknowledged Sperry's close relation, their flexibility and ability to listen to the athletes input when designing new gear.
The Sperry Top-Sider Title Sponsorship is looking beyond the Weymouth Games and the 2016 games in Brazil, to develop top sailors, results and products.
They will also be expanding their product lines to include apparel, sunglasses and luggage. Their designers are working closely with athletes to constantly improve products for the rigors of our sport.
Craig Reingold added that Sperry has put in place a team to work with the US Sailing Team to create innovative products and special technologies, so that sailors can perform at the pinnacle of their abilities.

Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Judgment Fund:
Treasury's Estimates of Claim Payment Processing Costs under the No FEAR Act and Contract Disputes Act
GAO-04-481: Published: Apr 28, 2004. Publicly Released: Apr 28, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9490
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act, which took effect October 1, 2003, requires agencies to repay discrimination settlements and judgments paid on their behalf. The No FEAR Act is similar to the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) of 1978, which holds agencies accountable for payment in contract disputes. Under both laws, federal agencies must reimburse the Judgment Fund, which is administered by the Treasury Department. Before the No FEAR Act, agencies did not have to repay the fund. The No FEAR Act requires GAO to review the financial impact on Treasury of administering that law and CDA. Based on this requirement, this report provides information on (1) Treasury's estimates of its costs to process discrimination claim payments and CDA payments in fiscal year 2003 and its costs to process and seek reimbursement for claim payments under lawsuits covered by the No FEAR Act beginning in fiscal year 2004, (2) differences in claims processing and reimbursement efforts under CDA and the No FEAR Act, and (3) the extent of federal agency compliance with CDA's reimbursement requirements and Treasury's view of how effective its No FEAR Act collection efforts may be. We make no recommendations in this report. Treasury officials had no official comment on the report.
Treasury estimates that it cost about $334,000 to certify, pay, and seek reimbursement for CDA claim payments in fiscal year 2003, and about $240,000 to certify and pay discrimination claims that year. For fiscal year 2004, assuming relatively constant case and processing cost levels, and agency compliance with reimbursement requirements similar to that experienced under CDA, Treasury estimates that it will incur about $171,500 in personnel costs in order to seek reimbursements for No FEAR claim payments. These include recurring costs to set up and administer accounts receivable and seek reimbursement from agencies for claims paid out of the Judgment Fund and a one-time cost for in-house personnel to upgrade computer systems. Although the certification, payment, and accounting processes that Treasury uses for the No FEAR Act are virtually the same as those used for CDA, the procedures Treasury is required to use to seek reimbursement for claims paid under the No FEAR Act will differ. For example, as part of Treasury's effort to seek reimbursement for No FEAR Act claims paid, No FEAR Act regulations require Treasury to record on its public Web site the failure of agencies to make reimbursement or arrange to make reimbursement within a specified time limit. There is no similar requirement under CDA claims. During fiscal years 2001, 2002, and 2003, federal agencies reimbursed Treasury for fewer than one of every five dollars owed under CDA, with at least 18 agencies having unpaid amounts at the end of each fiscal year. According to Treasury, while its No FEAR Act collection efforts are just beginning, reimbursement rates under the act may be as low as under CDA because the No FEAR Act, like CDA, does not impose reimbursement deadlines on agencies, and Treasury has very little authority to enforce reimbursement.

Given two lists of unordered customers, return a list of the intersection of the two lists. That is, return a list of the customers that appear in both lists.
Some things I established:
- Assume each customer has a unique name
- If the name is the same in both lists, it's the same customer
- The names are of the form first name last name
- There's no trickery of II's, Jr's, weird characters, etc.
I think the point was to find an efficient algorithm/use of data structures to do this as efficiently as possible.
My progress went like this:
- Read one list in to memory, then read the other list one item at a time to see if there is a match
- Alphabetize both lists then start at the top of one list and see if each item appears in the other list
- Put both lists into ordered lists, then use the shorter list to check item by item (that way, it one list has 2 items, you only check those 2 items)
- Put one list into a hash, and check for the existence of keys from the other list
The interviewer kept asking, "What next?", so I assume I'm missing something else.
Any other tricks to do this efficiently?
Side note, this question was in python, and I just read about
sets, which seem to do this as efficiently as possible. Any idea what the data structure/algorithm of
sets is?

Dripping in jewels: Drew Barrymore and Naomi Watts dazzle at Bulgari event honouring Elizabeth Taylor
Richard Burton once famously quipped that 'The only Italian word Elizabeth [Taylor] knows is Bulgari.'
And on Tuesday night, stars were paying tribute to the glamorous Hollywood legend, and her ogling her collection from the famed jeweler.
Drew Barrymore and Naomi Watts were among leading ladies draped in jewellery as they walked the red carpet, more than a year after the late star's world-class collection fetched record prices at auction.
Style set: Drew Barrymore proudly showed off her Bulgari jewellery at the Celebration of Elizabeth Taylor's collection of BVLGARI jewelry at BVLGARI Beverly Hills on Tuesday
Bejewelled: Drew Barrymore and Naomi Watts wore understated outfits and let their necklaces do the talking
Drew wore a cream blouse and black wide-leg trousers for the occasion, her hair swept back in loose waves from her face.
She carried a black clutch with a growling doberman emblazoned on the side and added freshness to her look with lashings of bright pink lipstick.
Statement piece: Drew was radiant, and matched her lipstick to compliment the stunning piece of jewellery
Pretty in pink: Naomi draped her dress with rose coloured tassels
Pucker up: Kate Walsh sent off a kiss, showing off her gorgeous bracelet, matching ring and earrings
But the star of her ensemble was
truly her jewellery, a colourful bib necklace and matching ring that she
proudly flashed to cameras.
Naomi wore a black cocktail dress for
the evening, paired with black pumps and a clutch in a shade of plum
that complimented her tassel necklace.
The Impossible star wore her blonde hair in waves, swept to the side of her neck, and joined others including Julianne Moore, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Walsh and Marisa Tomei, among others, on the red carpet.
Candy coloured: Drew Barrymore and Julianne Moore went for bold colours - Drew with her lipstick and jewellery, and Julianne with her dress and necklace
The main attraction: Julianne Moore wore a $6.1million necklace given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton as a wedding gift in 1964
An honour: The actress is the first person to wear the necklace since the late Elizabeth Taylor
Hollywood legend: Elizabeth Taylor wearing the emerald and diamond necklace as she sits with her husband, actor Richard Burton, in Brussels, Belgium, on November 1968
Kirsten looked elegant in a tiered floor-length dress, while Julianne paired a coral cocktail number with nude heels.
The actress' necklace was the toast
of the evening: an emerald and diamond piece Richard Burton gave to
Elizabeth Taylor as a wedding gift in 1964.
Marisa was dressed more casually in skinny black trousers and an embellieshed burgangy suit jacket paired with bejewled pumps.
Classic black: Kirsten Dunst wore a floor-sweeping tiered dress with embellished ties at the shoulder
Pretty in patterns: Kate Walsh wore a paisley frock with black pointy toe pumps
Style set: DJ Mia Moretti, left, and actress Louise Roe, right, looked chic and stylish
Turning heads: Marta Gastini, left, and Marisa Tomei, right
Inside Bulgari's Beverly Hills boutique, the stars cooed over eight pieces of Taylor's jewels on display.
The exhibition of pieces from last
year's sale included jewels Taylor obtained and wore during
well-documented times in her storied life, including the filming of
Cleopatra, which launched her romance with Richard Burton, Bulgari said.
Included are Taylor's first piece of
Bulgari jewelry, an emerald-and-diamond brooch which achieved a record
per-carat price for any emerald at the Christie's sale.
Setting off the flashbulbs: Marta Gastini showed off the stunning back of her dress
A perfect pair: DJ Mia Moretti, left, and musician Caitlin Moe, right
Something to see: Kirsten Dunst was among stars ogling Taylor's beloved jewels inside the event
The brooch sold for $6,578,500, setting a record price for an emerald jewel and emeralds per carat at $280,000.
An emerald and diamond necklace which
sold at the Christie's auction for $6.1 million, and a diamond and gold
sautoir set with six ancient Roman coins acquired for $5.9 million,
will also be shown along with other diamonds, sapphires and more.
'There couldn't have been a more appropriate celebrity to have fallen in love with Bulgari,' it said in announcing the display.
Noting Taylor's 'grounded' nature in contrast to her impossibly glamorous life, it said Bulgari is known for creating jewels that pair precious stones with items of no intrinsic value such as antique coins, ceramics and silk cords.
Radiant: Princess Clotilde Courau, left, and Jessica Lowndes, right
Time for a toast: EVP of BVLGARI Sabina Belli poses with Julianne
The Italian luxury house was founded in 1884 in Rome by Greek Sotirios Voulgaris, known in Italy as Sotirio Bulgari.
It was acquired in 2011 for 4.3
billion euros ($6.01 billion) and other considerations by the French
luxury house LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.
Taylor died in 2011 aged 79 of congestive heart failure. The Christie's auction of her gems took in a record $116 million.
The collection will be on display at Bulgari Beverly Hills until March 10.
Let's not forget this! Marisa Tomei took a snap of a set of Taylor's jewels

Seth Perry, 27, and Crystal Boaz, 33, were arrested around 12:33 p.m. Sunday at an apartment in the 900 block of Stewart Street in Carmi after the pair were allegedly involved in a loud argument.
A Carmi Police Department incident report said officers were called to the apartment by neighbors who complained about the noise. An officer and a White County sheriff's deputy arrived and initially heard yelling and crying coming from inside an apartment, however, when they knocked on the door and announced their presence, the apartment got quiet and no one would come to the door.
Fearing for the safety of those inside, the property manager was contacted to bring a key so officers could enter, however, the door was voluntarily opened. After questioning, Perry and Boaz were booked at the City-County Jail in Carmi on preliminary charges of disorderly conduct with the paperwork to be reviewed by the White County State's Attorney's Office for possible other charges.
Their bail was set at $150 cash.

Hi. I am having a persistent problem with the XML Generator that will not go away. I keep trying to use the plugin for my website and I keep getting the same error message:
"There was a problem writing your sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable. Learn more
There was a problem writing your zipped sitemap file. Make sure the file exists and is writable. Learn more"
I followed instructions I found elsewhere about creating a sitemap.xml file and uploading it with the proper permissions. Still no luck. Then I contacted my hosting service. They said:
"I have checked the issue with the 'XML-SiteMap' file in the WordPress application. It seems that issue with the application. I have tested by changing the permission of the XML file but the issue is not fixed and also there is no error log for your account to further investigate on this. Hence, I would like to suggest you please contact the application vender or web developer regarding this issue."
Where do I go from here? Any suggestions? I REALLY need help, because this is preventing me from making my website searchable.
Thank you!

are there any work-arounds?? please!?
I have emailed them on their site and tweeted asking for help and no response.
MIne worked until it didn't, which sucks because I spent a lot of time styling it.
instead of using thethe image slider
i used another plugin slider called Soliloquy that did most of the same thing. worked great for me!
I updated the plugin yesterday and brought it up to date with the current JetPack version. If the JetPack version doesn't work with your theme then the chances is that this one won't work either. Mainly because this plugin is a direct replica of that minus the authentication.

I have a file with some brackets:

The brackets always come in pairs, and are occasionally nested, but never appear across multiple lines, such as here:

I want to search for some errors, in which a bracket is missing. How can I locate any lines that are missing a matching bracket?

US teen Mikaela Shiffrin claimed slalom gold to usher in a new wave of younger skiers as a raft of decorated veterans exited the revolving doors of the Olympic Winter Games.
Shiffrin became the youngest ever slalom champion at just 18, a year after claiming world gold, the perfect fresh-faced and self-assured tonic for a sport hit by the absence of injured media darling Lindsey Vonn.
"It is OK to be confident, it does not jinx anything, it is not arrogant, it is a fact that you come to the Olympics to win," Shiffrin said.
"I know that my fastest skiing is fast enough for gold. Miracles are not random. You control your own destiny. You can make your own journey.
"I am already dreaming of the next Olympics and winning five gold medals."
While the American teenager could realistically be around for at least the next three Olympics, two veterans of women's alpine skiing will not be reappearing at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games: Tina Maze and Maria Hoefl-Riesch.
Maze of Slovenia ended the alpine skiing as the most successful skier in both sexes after claiming golds in the downhill and giant slalom, the former shared in a frustrating first with unheralded Swiss Dominique Gisin.
"It's more than we expected. If you believe, it can happen. I wanted to show my best, especially here, the most important race of the season," said Maze, who also won two silvers at the Vancouver Games in 2010.
Hoefl-Riesch won combined gold and super-G silver to go with two Vancouver golds, and she and Maze, both proven performers on the world championships and World Cup stages, will be sorely missed in 2018.
- Thrill-loving Miller -
There were also two medals apiece for Austrians Anna Fenninger (super-G gold, giant slalom silver) and Nicole Hosp (combined silver, super-G bronze).
With Matthias Mayer claiming a surprise gold in the opening men's downhill, and veteran Mario Matt -- now the oldest Olympic champion in alpine skiing -- and Marcel Hirscher completing a 1-2 in the closing slalom, Austria secured a total of nine medals (three gold, four silver, two bronze) to top the nations' table.
It was thrill-loving American Bode Miller who had set the pace in speed training on a Rosa Khutor course he described, in a back-handed compliment, as one where "someone could get killed".
But Miller, in his fifth Olympics, had to settle for a super-G bronze, becoming the oldest skier to finish on the podium, at 36 years and 127 days, with his sixth Winter Games medal.
Miller's teammate Ted Ligety again proved his mastery in the giant slalom to win the discipline.
But Ligety was unable to reproduce his treble gold medal-winning performance from last year's world championships in Schladming, and in the absence of speed queen Vonn, the US team finished second to Austria in the medal table (2-1-2).
The men's results were generally a mixed bag, with Miller and Norwegian colossus Aksel Lund Svindal failing to go home with what they were tipped to win.
Svindal, in particular, seemed flat, unable to carry over his impressive World Cup form and the Norwegian eventually left Russia early after running out of patience with an ongoing allergy.
- Jansrud is an idol for young Norwegians -
His teammate Kjetil Jansrud won the super-G and claimed downhill bronze, his country's only medals, Italian Christof Innerhofer won Italy's two in the downhill and super-combined (silver and bronze).
Jansrud's victory in the second speed event meant Norway have now won the last four men's Olympic super-G titles following Kjetil Andre Aamodt's victories in 2002 and 2006, and Svindal's win in 2010.
"Jansrud is absolutely an idol for young Norwegians," beamed Norway's Prime Minister Erna Solberg after the race.
One to watch for the future is certainly 19-year-old Henrik Kristoffersen, who claimed bronze in slalom after negotiating a second run set by Croat Ante Kostelic which Ligety branded "borderline unsportsmanlike" after 12 of the top 30 bombed out.
There was a shock win for Switzerland's Sandro Viletta in the super-combined, one of several random results for skiers with few or even no World Cup podiums to their name.
French unknown Steve Missillier won giant slalom silver and American Andrew Weibrecht claimed super-G silver after winning bronze in Vancouver and doing nothing in between.
"It's been a pretty difficult four years," Weibrecht philosophised. "It's not like Roger Federer who won maybe 120 tennis matches and lost just one.
"It's the essence of ski racing, you have to learn to manage disappointment a lot of the time."
It snowed only once in three weeks of training and competition, but a team of 500 piste workers did an amazing job in keeping the courses in, largely, very good condition.

|Number of Credits
|Language of Delivery
|Module Leader
|Dr Georgina Santos
|Autumn Semester
|Academic Year
The module provides the basis for the understanding of demand and supply in the transport sector, transport externalities and corrective instruments, investment and economic appraisal and transport management. It makes students aware of relevant microeconomic theory and solutions to transport problems.
(1) conceptualise transport problems in economic terms; (2) apply economic theory to current transport problems such as for example traffic congestion and CO2 emissions; (3) critically evaluate transport policies and programs; and (4) understand the main issues related to transport management.
Students will also improve a number of skills they hopefully already have, and: (a)be able to orally present group work on a specific topic; (b) be able to debate issues related to transport externalities, transport policies and transport projects appraisal; (c) be able to write a critical essay with a clear structure; (d) be able to answer specific questions on different transport economics topics under the pressure of an exam environment.
The module consists of lectures, group and class discussions and group presentations. The group and class discussions promote skills in communication, as do the group presentations. Most topics throughout the module are illustrated with at least one example or case-study, which helps put the concepts together.
During the course of the module there will be plenty of opportunities to practise and master a number of skills. Students will be expected to:
1. be able to work in a group towards a presentation
2. debate a topic in class, justifying arguments in a reasoned way
3. read the latest research on a topic new to the student and be able to grasp the main points, regardless of the student's background.
Group Presentation - 25%
Essay - 25%
Exam - 50%
The potential for reassessment in this module
Students are permitted to be reassessed (usually once) in a module which they have failed, in line with course regulations. The reassessment will usually take place during the summer.

Primary biliary cirrhosis, otherwise known as PBC, is a disease that affects predominantly women aged 40-60. Thanks to improvements in our ability to treat and manage PBC, less than 50 per cent of patients progress to cirrhosis. Because of this fact and the issue of 'cirrhosis' often being connected solely to alcohol, PBC patients around the world pushed for a name change. Hepatologists agreed with the need to change the name to more accurately reflect the nature of the disease.
Effective immediately, primary biliary cirrhosis will be known as primary biliary cholangitis. It permits the continued use of the short form PBC while providing a more accurate description of the disease.
This change has been endorsed by the C anadian Liver Foundation, the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver (CASL) as well as PBC patient groups and professional associations of liver specialists world-wide.
Click here to read more about the background behind this change.
The initial symptoms vary among PBC patients. They may be present in any combination and include:
Other symptoms, not directly related to PBC, are also often reported by patients:
As the liver damage progresses, other symptoms may appear, which affect the rest of the body. These symptoms include:
Diagnosis is made with special blood tests including liver bichemistry. One such test detects the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) in blood. Also, a liver biopsy may be performed. This is a procedure in which a small needle is inserted into the liver to take a sample of the tissue for analysis.
The prognosis of PBC varies greatly from one patient to another. Many lead active lives with few symptoms for 10 to 20 years. In some patients, however, the condition progresses more rapidly and liver deterioration may occur in just a few years.
There is currently no known specific treatment for PBC. Vitamins A, D and K can be prescribed, usually when jaundice is present; cholestyramine and antihistamines can successfully relieve itching. Ursodeoxycholic acid, a bile salt, has been shown to improve liver function and delay the development of fibrosis (scar tissue) and the need for liver transplantation. When ursodeoxycholic acid is given to individuals with early disease then survival becomes the same as that of individuals of the same age without PBC.
Complications of liver deterioration can often be controlled. As an example, a salt-restricted diet and medication (usually water pills) can be prescribed following accumulation of fluid.
Liver transplantation is now a common treatment option for people with advanced PBC.
What precautions should be taken?
Alcohol may increase damage to the liver and should not be consumed regularly by anyone with any liver disease. Patients should eat a healthy and well balanced diet.
There is a healthy way to live with a chronic disease and patients with PBC should be encouraged to maintain an active lifestyle under the supervision of their doctor.
It is important for PBC patients to realize that support is available that may help them to improve their quality of life.
For more information about PBC or any other liver disease, please contact us.

City to Homeless Drunks: Move Along
About 18 months ago, the City Council vastly expanded the city's "Alcohol Impact Area," a swath of the central city where alcohol sales are restricted by type and time (no single bottles or cans, and no alcohol at all between 6 and 9 am), to a vast area that encompasses downtown, Capitol Hill, the International District, Lower Queen Anne, and the University District. The council also changed the rules for the AIA to focus on sales of specific products, rather than restricting sales by hours and product type, and made compliance voluntary, at least in the short term.
That plan, predictably, didn't pan out: only 30 percent of merchants in the voluntary AIA signed "good neighbor agreements" consenting to follow the rules. Now the council is seeking a state liquor board rule making the AIA mandatory, banning low-cost, high-alcohol products (like MD 20/20, Cisco, Thunderbird, Mickey's, and Olde English 800) from a zone that encompasses most of the central city.
AIAs like the one Seattle is proposing have been criticized because they simply move the problem - homeless public drinkers - to non-AIA neighborhoods without addressing the more serious (and challenging) problems of homelessness and addiction. And, critics say, AIAs infringe on homeless drinkers' civil rights by singling out one group of alcoholics just because they're poor. (Nobody's suggesting that sales at wine shops be restricted, for example, just because they sell high-alcohol beverages.) Another criticism is that restricting specific brands simply doesn't work: In neighborhoods that have restrictions, sales of non-restricted beers go up.
The council's Human Services Committee, chaired by AIA champion Tom Rasmussen, will take up the legislation at a public hearing next Tuesday, December 6, in council chambers at 9:30 a.m.

Audit: Charter school workers have arrest records
Published 7:29 pm, Friday, August 29, 2014
Two more employees hired to work at Dunbar School in Bridgeport last year by Family Urban Schools of Excellence have arrest records and a third went through no documented background check, according to a district audit released this past week.
The report, compiled and coordinated by the district's finance department following the dismissal of FUSE over the summer, also suggests FUSE staff were aware they had not done due diligence when it came to background checks.
"We made a decision to hire former felons based on their personal turnaround, growth and their strong community ties. However, we did not research their background carefully enough and anticipate legal consequences until much later," Indra Sen, FUSE's senior program director at Dunbar, wrote in a document included in the audit.

New Groundbreaking Live Interactive Game Show Set to Premiere Sept. 9
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — August 5, 2013 — Emmy Award-winning producer and host Ryan Seacrest has been tapped as host of NBC's unique, fast-paced live interactive game show "The Million Second Quiz." The announcement was made by Paul Telegdy, NBC's president of alternative and late night programming.
"When people see Ryan Seacrest, whether at the Emmys, the Oscars or New Year's Eve, he is at the epicenter of national events" said Telegdy. "He is a broadcaster, in all the traditional sense, but also in the most contemporary — he is an accomplished host of live TV and a master of social media and pop culture. This makes him perfect for 'The Million Second Quiz.'"
"I'm so excited to be hosting this new live game show on NBC, as it's really a fun and different format that I believe will generate lots of fans across different platforms," said Ryan Seacrest. "I'm looking forward to working with the other producers and everyone at NBC to make the show a success."
"The Million Second Quiz" premieres Monday, Sept. 9 (8-9 p.m. ET) and continues through Saturday, Sept. 14 in that same 8 p.m. hour. It will then resume on Monday, Sept. 16 and will air each night (8-9 p.m. ET) until the finale on Thursday, Sept. 19 (8-10 p.m. ET) when the winner will claim the largest guaranteed prize in game show history. "The Million Second Quiz" is produced by All3 Media America, Studio Lambert and Universal Television. Stephen Lambert, Eli Holzman, David A. Hurwitz and Seacrest serve as executive producers.
The concept for the show involves contestants playing head-to-head trivia bouts inside a massive outdoor hourglass-shaped structure in midtown Manhattan and competing non-stop for a million seconds (11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds). Each bout consists of one player sitting in the "money chair," accumulating as much time on the chair as possible by answering trivia questions against a rival sitting in an opposite chair. Each second a player holds the money chair is worth $10, potentially earning millions. Those who want to face off against the person sitting in the money chair can do so by physically coming down to the hourglass or by successfully answering questions online using their mobile devices or home computers.
Seacrest holds preeminent positions in broadcast and cable television, nationally syndicated radio and local radio. He has a groundbreaking agreement with NBCUniversal that includes on-air broadcasting and producing duties across the NBC and E! networks. He is also celebrated internationally as host of the top-rated primetime talent showcase "American Idol" on Fox and also serves as an executive producer and host of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" on ABC. On radio, Seacrest is host of "On Air with Ryan Seacrest," his market-topping #1 nationally syndicated LA morning drive-time show for Clear Channel's 102.7 KIIS-FM, as well as a nationally-syndicated Top 40 radio show.
Seacrest launched Ryan Seacrest Productions (RSP) in 2006, which has since become an Emmy-winning television production powerhouse creating unscripted, scripted and digital programming. RSP produces the E! hit series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and spin-offs "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami" and "Khloe and Lamar." RSP produces "Married to Jonas," "The Wanted Life" for E!, "Shahs of Sunset" on Bravo, "Montecito" for A&E, "How I Rock It" for Esquire, and "Superstar Showdown" for Telemundo. RSP is also producing "Mixology," a new scripted series for ABC, as well as "The Restart Project," a digital series for AOL. The company also produced the Emmy Award-winning reality series "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution."
Seacrest is also an entrepreneur, investing in media and entertainment companies: he recently made an investment in Civic Entertainment Group, a marketing services company, as well as in the new cable channel, AXS TV. He also has made investments in startups including Pinterest and FlightCar. His philanthropic efforts are focused on youth-oriented initiatives, including serving as Chairman of The Ryan Seacrest Foundation and Honorary Chair of the Grammy Foundation.

Emmy® Award-nominated Ryan Seacrest will continue as host of AMERICAN IDOL, broadcast television's No. 1 show. Seacrest has served as host of AMERICAN IDOL since its debut on June 11, 2002. Over the past decade, he has guided the IDOL contestants and judges through each season's incredible journey, from the first tickets to Hollywood to every star-studded finale. Seacrest has introduced every guest performer, played referee with the judges and was the first to announce and congratulate each of the winners.
"For the last 11 seasons, I've had the privilege to be a part of one of television's most iconic shows. It's been a wild ride, and I'm excited for my journey with AMERICAN IDOL to continue," Seacrest said. "The legions of fans, amazingly talented contestants, judges, and producers, along with the hard working IDOL crew, impress me every time we go on air and make hosting the show a dream job. I especially appreciate the support and confidence of Peter Rice, Mike Darnell and the entire FOX team – as well as the support of everyone at FremantleMedia North America – and I look forward to continuing our partnership."
"Ryan is one of a kind," added Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "His ability to engage the viewers, keep the contestants at ease during intense moments and adapt to any situation, especially during the live shows, solidifies him as the absolute best in the business. He is an integral part of why AMERICAN IDOL is a true phenomenon, and we can't imagine doing this show without him."
"I am thrilled that Ryan will continue to be the face of AMERICAN IDOL. He runs the show with such expertise, warmth and charm that he makes one of the hardest jobs in television look easy," noted Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America. "He is one of the best in the business and we are lucky to have him."
"Ryan has been with AMERICAN IDOL from the very first day. I can't imagine the show without him," stated creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. "He is the consummate host and an exemplary professional. Having Ryan continue to be a part of the AMERICAN IDOL family is great news for everyone."
With his thriving broadcasting career and multiple ventures, Ryan Seacrest is at the forefront of the media and entertainment industry. While hosting and producing multiple television and radio programs, building his Ryan Seacrest Productions banner (RSP) into a leading entertainment production company, and managing a myriad of media investments and brand ventures, Seacrest is redefining what it means to be a successful Hollywood entrepreneur.
Seacrest holds preeminent positions in broadcast television, nationally syndicated radio, local radio and cable as both a producer and on-air host. He is celebrated internationally as host of the top-rated primetime talent showcase AMERICAN IDOL, and hosts and produces "E! News" and its red carpet awards show coverage. He also serves as an executive producer and co-host of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest."

RSP produces the hit series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," one of cable's highest-rated shows, and the spin-offs "Khloe and Lamar," "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" and "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami." RSP also produced the Emmy Award-winning reality series "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution." RSP recently produced two new reality series: "Melissa and Tye" and "Shahs of Sunset." In January 2012, Clear Channel acquired a minority stake in RSP.
In early 2012, Seacrest entered into a joint venture through a holding company, Ryan Seacrest Media, along with HDNet, AEG, and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to rebrand HDNet/HDNet Canada and launch AXS TV (pronounced: access). AXS TV will debut this summer, providing viewers with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to live concerts and music festivals, red carpet premieres, award shows, parties, pop culture events, and in-depth interviews with the people and artists who make live entertainment so uniquely fascinating.
Seacrest also has extensive deals with brand heavyweights Proctor & Gamble, Coca-Cola and Microsoft, and recently announced a strategic marketing and technology alliance with Eventful, Inc.
Seacrest, along with his family, is also committed to the Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF), a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seriously ill and injured children through unique programs that utilize multimedia and interactive platforms. RSF is building broadcast media centers within hospitals for children to explore the creative realms of radio, television and new media.

C++'s container
deque, ... provide the
at(index) accessor function in addition to
operator[index] to access container elements.
The difference between this member function and member operator function operator[] is that deque::at signals if the requested position is out of range by throwing an out_of_range exception.
I have never, ever needed this function in my code, as it never makes sense in my C++ code to access elements that are possibly out-of-range. The code is always written to access correct indexes (or produce a meaningful error/exception in case indexes can't be made to match.)
I would be interested in real world examples (possibly from some open source project, as that would add some context) where
at() is used in production code.
Maybe someone can give an example of an algorithmic problem where using
at() made sense.
Note: I have recently used it in some unit-test code, where adding index checking code wasn't considered worth the trouble and the out_of_range exception thrown by
at() is considered enough info+context in case the test breaks.
Note: Regarding this answer by ildjarn - I do not want to start a discussion or comment war on this. I am interesting in "positive" finds, that is concrete examples where it has been used. Thank you.

SEED cratered yesterday on news of a drop in sales and its CEO resignation:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company generated revenues of RMB244.7 million (US$37.4 million), compared with RMB462.2 million (US$68.1 million) generated in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The goods already sold and delivered to customers can be seen as Deferred Revenue line on the balance sheet and the Advances from Customers records the advance cash receipts from customers this selling season. The lower amount of revenues this quarter is in part due to a later application of the distributor discount this 2011 selling season resulting in a later recognition of revenue this year.
